Investigating Patient Satisfaction Through Web-Based Reviews of Norwegian Dentists: Quantitative Study Using the Meaning Extraction Method
Authors: Larsen Maria , Holde Gro Eirin , Johnsen Jan-Are Kolset
Published: March 2024

Background

Challenging encounters in health care professions, including in dentistry, are relatively common. Challenging encounters can be defined as stressful or emotional situations involving patients that could impact both treatment outcomes and patients’ experiences. Through written web-based reviews, patients can share their experiences with health care providers, and these posts can be a useful source for investigating patient satisfaction and their experiences of challenging encounters.

Objective

This study aims to identify dominant themes from patient-written, web-based reviews of dentists and investigate how these themes are related to patient satisfaction with dental treatment.

Methods

The study data consisted of 11,764 reviews written by dental patients, which included 1- to 5-star ratings on overall satisfaction and free-text comments. The free-text comments were analyzed using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count software, and the meaning extraction method was used to group words into thematic categories. These themes were used as variables in a multilevel logistic regression analysis to predict patient satisfaction.

Results

Eight themes emerged from the analyses, of which 6 (75%)—explanation (odds ratio [OR] 2.56, 95% CI 2.16-3.04; P<.001), assurance (OR 3.61, 95% CI 2.57-5.06; P<.001), performance assessment (OR 2.17, 95% CI 1.84-2.55; P<.001), professional advice (OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.55-2.13; P<.001), facilities (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.08-2.91; P=.02), and recommendation (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.12-1.53; P<.001)—increased the odds of high patient satisfaction. The remaining themes (2/8, 25%)—consequences of treatment need (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.20-0.29; P<.001) and patient-centered care (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.52-0.74; P<.001)—reduced the odds of high patient satisfaction.

Conclusions

The meaning extraction method is an interesting approach to explore patients’ written accounts of encounters with dental health professionals. The experiences described by patients provide insight into key elements related to patient satisfaction that can be used in the education of dental health professionals and to improve the provision of dental health services.
Health professionals' perception of the use of speech recognition technology in healthcare: a qualitative study (Preprint)
Authors: Lopes Cíntia , Seringa Joana , Magalhães Teresa
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

The healthcare system faces challenges regarding responsiveness, quality, and safety, as costs and administrative burdens rise. Speech recognition technologies (SRT) have emerged as a solution to solve these problems, as speech can convey detailed information, potentially improving patient engagement and clinical priorities. However, understanding the perspectives of key users is critical for successfully implementing this technological solution.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore healthcare professionals' perspectives in Portugal regarding the significance of speech recognition technologies in enhancing healthcare.

METHODS

The study used a qualitative approach with a semi-structured interview survey, recruiting eleven participants from different regions of Portugal and various healthcare areas. Data was collected from November 2023 to February 2024, and thematic analysis was conducted using MAXQDA software, allowing participants to express their experiences and opinions.

RESULTS

The interviews revealed four themes: applications, advantages, disadvantages, and implementation recommendations. 73% of participants had never used these technologies in clinical practice. Most potential applications involve report generation and medical procedures, with surgery being the most common. 82% believed these technologies would increase time and quality of care, while 55% feared they would increase costs.

CONCLUSIONS

This study analyzes healthcare professionals' perspectives on speech recognition technologies in Portugal. It offers practical recommendations to stakeholders who wish to incorporate these technologies into the healthcare system. We suggest conducting more investigation and implementing the changes gradually, considering the unique opportunities and challenges in Portuguese healthcare.
Effects of fitness apps on body image and mental health: a systematic review (Preprint)
Authors: Lu Ya-Xi , Tong Xinyu , Hua Chenguang , Wan Dalong
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Multiple studies investigating the impact of fitness app usage on mental health have demonstrated that such utilization can contribute to enhancements in mental well-being, encompassing anxiety alleviation and improved quality of life.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize the available evidence regarding the correlation between fitness apps and body image measurements or related variables of mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression, stress, well-being, quality of life, etc.).

METHODS

A comprehensive search was conducted in EMBASE (via Ovid), APA PsychInfo (via Ovid), PubMed, and Cochrane Library to identify qualitative studies examining the impact of fitness apps on body image and mental health. The quality of the selected studies was assessed using an adaptation of the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies from the Effective Public Health Practice Project.

RESULTS

A total of 17 studies from seven countries, which met the inclusion criteria, reported on the impact of fitness apps. The majority of these studies (n = 12) were randomized controlled trials with either 2-group or 3-group study designs. The remaining studies included one unrandomized controlled trial, one single-arm trial, and three cross-sectional studies. An evaluation was conducted to assess the quality of these papers, resulting in their categorization as follows: six were classified as strong, four as weak, and the remaining seven as moderate.

CONCLUSIONS

In summary, this review indicates a lack of substantial correlation between the utilization of fitness applications and body image or mental health outcomes. However, it should be noted that limited availability of literature and inconsistent outcome measures restrict us to providing only a preliminary systematic review.
Examining the Impact of Simultaneous Alcohol and Cannabis Use on Alcohol Consumption and Consequences: Protocol for an Observational Ambulatory Assessment Study in Young Adults (Preprint)
Authors: Gunn Rachel L , Metrik Jane , Barnett Nancy P , Jackson Kristina M , Lipperman-Kreda Sharon , Miranda Jr Robert , Trull Timothy J , Fernandez Mary Ellen
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

There is significant conflicting evidence as to how using cannabis while drinking alcohol (ie, simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use) impacts alcohol volume consumed, patterns of drinking, and alcohol-related consequences. The impact of simultaneous use on drinking outcomes may be influenced by several within-person (eg, contextual) and between-person (individual) factors.

OBJECTIVE

This study was designed to examine naturalistic patterns of alcohol and cannabis use to understand how simultaneous use may impact drinking outcomes. The primary aims were to understand the following: (1) if simultaneous use is associated with increased alcohol consumption and riskier patterns of drinking, (2) if simultaneous use leads to increased alcohol consequences, and (3) how contextual circumstances moderate the impact of simultaneous use on consumption and consequences.

METHODS

Data collection involves a 28-day ambulatory assessment protocol in which a sample of non–treatment-seeking young adults who report simultaneous use of alcohol and cannabis complete ecological momentary assessments (random, event-contingent, and time-contingent surveys) of alcohol and cannabis use, contexts, motives, and consequences on their personal smartphones while continuously wearing an alcohol biosensor bracelet. Participants also complete a baseline assessment, brief internet-based check-in on day 14, and a final session on day 28. Community-based recruitment strategies (eg, social media and flyers) were used to enroll 95 participants to obtain a target sample of 80, accounting for attrition.

RESULTS

Recruitment and data collection began in May 2021 and continued through June 2024. Initial results for primary aims are expected in October 2024. As of March 2024, the project had recruited 118 eligible participants, of whom 94 (79.7%) completed the study, exceeding initial projections for the study time frame. Remaining recruitment will provide the capacity to probe cross-level interactions that were not initially statistically powered. Strengths of the project include rigorous data collection, good retention and compliance rates, faster-than-expected enrollment procedures, use of a novel alcohol biosensor, and successful adaptation of recruitment and data collection procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first investigation to assess the key momentary predictors and outcomes of simultaneous use as well as self-reported and objective (via alcohol biosensor) measures of alcohol consumption and patterns. The results of this study will inform prevention efforts and studies of individuals who use cannabis who are engaged in alcohol treatment.

Topic models indicate textual aboutness and pragmatics: Valuation practices in Islamophobic discourse
Authors: Krasselt Julia , Dreesen Philipp
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the analysis of evaluative linguistic patterns within the context of the German-language Islamophobic online blog PI-News. The corpus consists of texts that refer to the Quran. The innovation of this research lies in two primary dimensions: Firstly, it adopts John Dewey’s pragmatism to establish an explicit valuation theory. Secondly, it extends the boundaries of topic modeling in the digital humanities by integrating van Dijk’s differentiation between aboutness and pragmatic macrostructures of texts. Notably, within these pragmatic macrostructures, the study highlights the practice of quoting Quran suras as a significant linguistic pattern. Together with the analysis of topic distribution and topic pathways in texts, the paper illustrates how evaluative practices reinforce the ideal of an Islam-free Europe.

To the Definition the Deflections of Flexible Non-centrally Compressed Reinforced Concrete Struts Strengthened in the Transverse Direction with Composite Materials
Authors: Mailyan D. R. , Georgiev S. V.
Published: March 2024

An analysis of the calculation methods found in the normative literature on strengthening reinforced concrete structures with composite materials arranged in the transverse direction by the method of wrapping structures showed that there is no calculation method for the second group of limit states.

The Code of Rules 164.1325800.2014 does not consider options for strengthening flexible compressed reinforced concrete structures, with the arrangement of composite materials in the transverse direction, introducing restrictions to the dimensions of structures. However, our research suggests the opposite. In this paper, experimental values of deflections of reinforced concrete struts in the transverse direction by composite materials, characteristics and testing methods of prototypes are given. The results of the theoretical calculation of deflections are presented and, based on the comparison of experimental and theoretical values of deflections, an algorithm for calculating the second group of limit states was developed.

Integral Method for Determining the Stress State of an Anisotropic Reinforced Concrete Shell
Authors: Zveryaev Eugene M.
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the issue of estimating the strength and stress-strain state of a reinforced concrete shell by the method of membrane theory and the theory of infinitesimal bending. A brief description of the methodology consists in the fact that the ground stress state of the shell is allocated to an independent problem, when, without introducing boundary effects, two of the four boundary conditions of the general moment theory are distinguished, which, together with the equations of the momentless theory, determine the ground stress state, and then boundary effects are superimposed. The equilibrium equations of the moment theory in forces and moments, geometric equations, components of tangential deformation and displacement, and the physical equations of state connecting them, expressing forces and moments through the components of deformation, are presented, since the characteristics of the stress-strain state of the shell depend not only on the variability of external influences and forces, but also on the length of the structure. The provisions laid down in the article shall be retained in the case of casings made of anisotropic material, provided that the presented elastic ratio is met. A system of equations of the generalized semi-membrane (semi-bending) state of an arbitrary shell of zero curvature, which determines the accuracy of this approach, is solved. The equations of the semi-torque theory for a circular cylindrical shell are presented, as well as describing the semi-membrane stress state of a long shell of zero curvature. The most important result of the study is the method of constructing integrals of the ground stress state of the shell based on the method of simple iterations, which expands the possibilities of the reliability theory, which makes it possible to build the foundations for the practical calculation of reinforced concrete shells according to the membrane theory and the theory of infinitesimal bending.

Perceived organizational justice and support facilitate employee innovation: A moderated mediation model of work engagement and empowerment
Authors: Lin Qingjin , Beh Loo-See , Mohd Kamil Nurul Liyana
Published: March 2024

In this study we employed a dual theory of social exchange and conservation of resources to examine how individual perceptions of organizational justice and support translate into innovative work behavior via engagement and empowerment. We analyzed data from 367 academic staff and their
leaders in 82 public higher education institutions in China, and the results revealed a positive association between perceived organizational support and innovative work behavior, which was mediated by work engagement. A result surprising to us was that although organizational justice indirectly
enhanced innovative work behavior through work engagement, organizational justice did not directly drive innovative work behavior. Moreover, psychological empowerment did not moderate the indirect linkage between organizational justice/perceived organizational support and innovative work behavior
via work engagement. These findings are relevant to organizations seeking to utilize different perceptions of individual employees to drive innovation.

Published: March 2024

Time is the dividing line between an event's beginning and end. Humans have been keeping track of time in ways that have evolved since the beginning of time. Utilizing the sun's shadow is the strategy that is still in use today. Western countries went through the Renaissance after the Middle Ages, which was a period of resurgence in science. There were several astronomical instruments discovered, and the Diptych Dial is one of them. Because it differs from the sundials that generally evolve, this device is quite intriguing. It can be used to determine the moon phase, time, direction, and several other things by using two regions of the dial. Additionally, because of its attractive appearance, it can be used as decoration or a collection. It can be used to determine the moon phase, the time, the direction, and can also be used as decoration or a collection due to its attractive shape, which has artistic value, by using two areas of the dial. The purpose of this study is to determine how the Diptych Dial instrument changed over the course of the Renaissance. using descriptive analytic and qualitative research techniques. The development of Diptych Dial instruments during the Renaissance was quite rapid, as evidenced by the number of Diptych Dials produced, which reached thousands in the city of Nuremburg, and their distribution to various European regions. Data from several previous studies and a collection of museum collections were used as data sources.

This paper focuses on improving the performance of grid-connected
Self-excited induction generator-based wind energy system (WES) with
vector control method (VCM) using artificial neural network (ANN). A
modified space vector modulation technique (MSVMT) has been presented to
acquire the gate pulses for machine-side and grid-side multi-level NPC
converters. The proposed model has been simulated with MATLAB/SIMULINK
and the prototype model of the proposed grid-connected SEIG-based WES
has been developed in the laboratory using WAVECT WCU300 FPGA R&D
controller to validate its performance. During wind speeds step-change,
the proposed MSVMT with ANN controller performs better than the
conventional space vector modulation (CSVM) with PI Controller technique
in terms of transient response, including overshoots, undershoots,
ripples, and steady-state errors in rotor speed, torque, and power.
Age is not just a number: how incorrect ageing impacts close-kin mark-recapture estimates of population size
Authors: Petersma Felix , Thomas Len , Harris Danielle , Bradley Darcy , Papastamatiou Yannis P.
Published: March 2024

Population size is a key parameter for the conservation of animal
species. Close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR) relies on the observed
frequency and type of kinship among individuals sampled from the
population to estimate population size. This approach requires being
able to determine the age of sampled individuals. One common approach,
particularly in fish studies, is to measure animal length and using an
assumed age-length relationship (a ‘growth curve’). We used simulation
to test the effect of misspecifying the length measurement error and the
growth curve on population size estimation. Simulated populations
represented two fictional shark species, one with a relatively simple
life history and the other with a more complex life history based on the
grey reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos). We estimated sex-specific
adult abundance, which we assumed to be constant in time. We observed
small median biases in these estimates ranging from 1.35 to 2.79% when
specifying the correct measurement error and growth curve, with true
coefficients of variation between 21.56 and 28.50%. Introducing error
via misspecified growth curves resulted in changes in the magnitude of
the estimated total population, with upwards shifts negatively biasing
abundance estimates. Over- and underestimating the length measurement
error did not introduce a bias and had negligible effect on the variance
in the estimates. Our findings show that assuming an incorrect length
measurement error has little effect on estimation, but having an
accurate growth curve is crucial for CKMR whenever ageing is based on
length measurements. If ageing could be biased, researchers should be
cautious when interpreting CKMR results and consider the potential
biases arising from inaccurate age inference.

Seismic imaging methods are regularly utilized to monitor low-velocity
anomalies generated by injection of CO2 in the subsurface. In this study
we generate active and passive synthetic seismic datasets at different
stages of CO2 injection in the subsurface based on geologically
constrained subsurface models of the Pelican storage site in the
Gippsland Basin, Australia. We apply full waveform inversion (FWI) and
wave-equation dispersion (WD) inversion to seafloor deployed distributed
acoustic sensing (DAS) data to reconstruct the low-velocity anomalies.
We model both strain (DAS) and displacement datasets for the active data
component of the study and show that theyresult in similar reconstruction of the CO2 anomaly. FWI based
time-lapse imaging of active data yields the most accurate results.
However, this approach is expensive and also suffers from complex issues
because of the near-onshore location of the storage site. Alternatively
inverting passive data results in only minor differences, but can still
effectively monitor changes in the subsurface, and assist in monitoring
the CO2 plume at the reservoir depth. Furthermore, we demonstrate the
capability of WD for inverting Scholte-waves derived from ambient noise
for shallow detection of CO2 in the unlikely event of a leakage.
Therefore, we propose a mixed mode monitoring strategy where passive
data is utilised for routine monitoring while active surveys are
deployed only when further investigation is required.

This research aims to see the influence of independence, accountability and competence on audit quality. Research analysis uses Structural Equation Mode with a Partial Least Square approach. Partial Least Square (PLS) is a variance-based structural equation analysis (SEM) that can test measurement models as well as test structural models. Researchers used primary data with a convenience sampling method in collecting data. The population in this study was 60 auditors who worked in KAP in the Palembang area. The sample in this study consisted of 46 respondents from auditors who worked at the Public Accounting Firm in the Palembang area. Research findings show that there is a partially significant positive influence between independence, accountability and competence on audit quality. The novelty of this research compared to other research lies in the analytical tools and approaches used.

A leader with the right leadership style who performs his duties effectively and efficiently is essential to increase the quality and efficiency of the organization. Transformational leadership motivates followers to perform beyond expectations by awakening followers' higher needs. Transformational leadership plays an important role in creating structural empowerement that can lead to positive organizational outcomes. Structural empowerment is expected to increase the psychological well-being of employees. Work engagement can be shaped by enabling factors such as transformational leadership, structural empowerment and psychological well-being that help create readiness for change. This research therefore aims to examine how transformational leadership can shape work engagement through structural empowerment and psychological well-being.
This research is a quantitative study that used a purposive sampling method and included 190 hospital workers in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS 3.0 structural equation modeling. The results show that transformational leadership influences work engagement, structural empowerment and psychological well-being. According to the results, employee engagement can be improved by implementing transformational leadership, structural empowerment and psychological well-being in the workplace. The interdependence of these factors creates a productive and positive work environment.
MOSQUES AND THE PROBLEM OF GENDER BIAS
Authors: Maulana Moh. Faiz , Ningrum Windi Susetyo
Published: March 2024

This paper tries to see the relationship between women and the mosque. The mosque, which should be a place that is freely accessible to all Muslims regardless of gender, has so far been dominated by men, both in terms of daily activities (worship) and incidental ones. This paper uses a qualitative method. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted using the perspective of gender and feminism. As a social space (besides the worship space) the mosque is in fact still gender biased. We can see this from mosque facilities that are less sensitive to the presence of women, for example, the absence of a place for ablution for women, places for women’s prayers that are less representative, and also the structure of mosque management or mosque takmir which is still dominated by men. Of course, this is due to several factors, such as misinterpretation of the role of women, and the lack of gender awareness in mosque management. In fact, we know that besides being a place of worship, mosques are the best space for building social relations, accessing information, and empowering the community.
RESILIENCE OF WIFE WORKING VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE AND DIVORCE IN PEKANBARU CITY
Authors: Nelli Jumni
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Domestic violence experienced by working women in its various forms and ended in divorce, apparently did not have a negative impact on them and their children. It is interesting to trace the resilience phenomenon of working women in Pekanbaru City to break away from adversity and become strong and great mothers. This research is a phenomenological research about the experiences of working women who experience violence in various forms and are divorced in Pekanbaru City. Data sources were obtained through in-depth interviews and observations using anecdotal record techniques. The research respondents were 4 working women. The theory used is resilience theory from Grotberg about three sources of human resilience, namely "I have, I am and I can". The results of the study found that in general 4 respondents got a source of resilience in the form of "I have", in the form of economic independence, family and colleagues. "I am" resilience, in the form of self-confidence and positive thinking, as well as good understanding and experience of religion. "I can" resilience is the ability of informants to solve their problems and control their emotions. The impact they can influence their children to always do their best. In this study it is understood that if women have economic independence, good religious practice, and family support, of course they are more capable and stronger in experiencing all forms of violence and gender injustice that occur in their families.
