It is shown that not only multicycle resonant pulses with zero electric area, but also nonresonant unipolar pulses can be used to efficiently excite quantum transitions in a medium. Arguments are presented in favor of the advantages of unipolar pulses for excitation of quantum systems in comparison with resonant radiation. A simple relationship has been found showing that in order to compare the effects of unipolar half-cycle and resonant multicycle pulses on atomic systems. It shows that it is necessary to compare the electric area of ​​a unipolar pulse and the area of ​​the envelope of a bipolar pulse, rather than their energies.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

A formal autism diagnosis can be an inefficient and lengthy process. Families may wait several months or longer before receiving a diagnosis for their child despite evidence that earlier intervention leads to better treatment outcomes. Digital technologies that detect the presence of behaviors related to autism can scale access to pediatric diagnoses. A strong indicator of the presence of autism is self-stimulatory behaviors such as hand flapping.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of deep learning technologies for the detection of hand flapping from unstructured home videos as a first step toward validation of whether statistical models coupled with digital technologies can be leveraged to aid in the automatic behavioral analysis of autism. To support the widespread sharing of such home videos, we explored privacy-preserving modifications to the input space via conversion of each video to hand landmark coordinates and measured the performance of corresponding time series classifiers.

METHODS

We used the Self-Stimulatory Behavior Dataset (SSBD) that contains 75 videos of hand flapping, head banging, and spinning exhibited by children. From this data set, we extracted 100 hand flapping videos and 100 control videos, each between 2 to 5 seconds in duration. We evaluated five separate feature representations: four privacy-preserved subsets of hand landmarks detected by MediaPipe and one feature representation obtained from the output of the penultimate layer of a MobileNetV2 model fine-tuned on the SSBD. We fed these feature vectors into a long short-term memory network that predicted the presence of hand flapping in each video clip.

RESULTS

The highest-performing model used MobileNetV2 to extract features and achieved a test F1 score of 84 (SD 3.7; precision 89.6, SD 4.3 and recall 80.4, SD 6) using 5-fold cross-validation for 100 random seeds on the SSBD data (500 total distinct folds). Of the models we trained on privacy-preserved data, the model trained with all hand landmarks reached an F1 score of 66.6 (SD 3.35). Another such model trained with a select 6 landmarks reached an F1 score of 68.3 (SD 3.6). A privacy-preserved model trained using a single landmark at the base of the hands and a model trained with the average of the locations of all the hand landmarks reached an F1 score of 64.9 (SD 6.5) and 64.2 (SD 6.8), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

We created five lightweight neural networks that can detect hand flapping from unstructured videos. Training a long short-term memory network with convolutional feature vectors outperformed training with feature vectors of hand coordinates and used almost 900,000 fewer model parameters. This study provides the first step toward developing precise deep learning methods for activity detection of autism-related behaviors.
The Factors Associated With Nonuse of Social Media or Video Communications to Connect With Friends and Family During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Older Adults: Web-Based Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Savage Rachel D , Di Nicolo Sophia , Wu Wei , Li Joyce , Lawson Andrea , Grieve Jim , Goel Vivek , Rochon Paula A
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Digital technologies have enabled social connection during prolonged periods of physical distancing and travel restrictions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. These solutions may exclude older adults, who are at higher risk for social isolation, loneliness, and severe outcomes if infected with SARS-CoV-2.

OBJECTIVE

This study investigated factors associated with nonuse of social media or video communications to connect with friends and family among older adults during the pandemic’s first wave.

METHODS

A web-based, cross-sectional survey was administered to members of a national retired educators’ organization based in Ontario, Canada, between May 6 and 19, 2020. Respondents (N=4879) were asked about their use of social networking websites or apps to communicate with friends and family, their internet connection and smartphone access, loneliness, and sociodemographic characteristics. Factors associated with nonuse were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression. A thematic analysis was performed on open-ended survey responses that described experiences with technology and virtual connection.

RESULTS

Overall, 15.4% (751/4868) of respondents did not use social networking websites or apps. After adjustment, male gender (odds ratio [OR] 1.60, 95% CI 1.33-1.92), advanced age (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.38-2.55), living alone (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.39-2.02), poorer health (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.04-1.71), and lower social support (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.20-1.71) increased the odds of nonuse. The reliability of internet connection and access to a smartphone also predicted nonuse. Many respondents viewed these technologies as beneficial, especially for maintaining pre–COVID-19 social contacts and routines, despite preferences for in-person connection.

CONCLUSIONS

Several factors including advanced age, living alone, and low social support increased the odds of nonuse of social media in older adults to communicate with friends and family during COVID-19’s first wave. Our findings identified socially vulnerable subgroups who may benefit from intervention (eg, improved access, digital literacy, and telephone outreach) to improve social connection.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Telehealth has been widely used for new case detection and telemonitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the use of this approach for syndromic surveillance has been little explored. This data can provide qualified information to feed computational models to study the disease spread.

OBJECTIVE

Herein we report using a high-quality dataset obtained from a state-based telehealth service for forecasting the geographical spread of new cases of COVID-19 in Salvador (Bahia, Brazil).

METHODS

A wide-state toll-free telehealth service collected clinical-demographic structured data four months following the first notification of COVID-19 in the Bahia State, Brazil. Calls that reported COVID-19- like symptoms were selected for temporal-spatial analysis compared to notification of COVID-19 cases.

RESULTS

For 181 out of 417 (43%) municipalities of Bahia, the first call to the telehealth service reporting COVID-like symptoms preceded the first notification of the disease. The calls reporting COVID-19-like symptoms preceded, on average, 30 days of the first notification of COVID-19 in the municipalities of the State of Bahia, Brazil. Additionally, data obtained by the telehealth service were used to effectively reproduce the disease spread in Salvador using a Susceptible (S) - Exposed (E) - Infected (I) - Recovered (R) - Deceased (D) (SEIRD) mathematical model to simulate the spatio- temporal spread of the disease.

CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, data from telehealth services may confer high effectiveness in anticipating new waves of COVID-19 and may be helpful to study the epidemic dynamics.
Collecting qualitative data from people with HIV who are not in medical care: Protocol for a national semi-structured telephone interview project (Preprint)
Authors: Padilla Mabel , Gutierrez Mariana , Fagan Jennifer
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

The Medical Monitoring Qualitative (MMP-Qual) Project was designed to collect qualitative data from people with HIV (PWH) not engaged in medical care that would complement quantitative data collected by the Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)—a national surveillance system—and inform MMP’s recruitment and data collection methods.

OBJECTIVE

Our objectives are 1) to describe the methodology of this project, 2) to reflect on the challenges and lessons learned from conducting qualitative telephone interviews at a national level, and 3) to describe how we used and plan to use the qualitative data to evaluate our recruitment procedures and quantitative data collection instrument, and knowledge of HIV care engagement.

METHODS

We used quota sampling to identify and recruit participants who had participated in the structured MMP interview into the MMP-Qual Project. To be eligible participants must have had an HIV diagnosis, been ≥18 years, lived in an MMP jurisdiction, and have not been engaged in HIV medical care. From 2018–2019, we conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with 34 PWH across the United States about several topics (e.g., barriers and facilitators to care, experience with surveys). Four trained interviewers conducted semi-structured 60-minute telephone interviews with 36 participants. Data collection lasted from August 2018 to May 2019.

RESULTS

One-hundred-and-thirteen people were eligible to participate in the MMP-Qual Project. Of people recruited, 28% refused participation. Of those who accepted participation, 63% were interviewed and 37% were no-shows. Forty-four percent of participants were ≥50 years, 76% were male, 65% were Black or African American, and 34% lived in the South.

CONCLUSIONS

We learned that it is possible to obtain rich qualitative data from PWH who are not in care via telephone and that this mode might be conducive to talking about sensitive topics. We also learned the importance of flexibility, communication, and coordination, as we relied on health department staff to perform recruitment and had difficulty implementing our original sampling strategy. We hope that other projects will learn from our experience conducting qualitative telephone interviews with PWH on a national level.

Published: June 2022

Abstract: Human activity recognition is important in human-to-human contact and interpersonal relationships. One of the key objects of research in the scientific fields of computer vision and machine learning is the human ability to identify another person's activity. With the introduction of tiny sensor technologies that can be worn on the body, it is now possible to gather and retain data on various aspects of human mobility under free living settings. This technique has the potential to be employed in automated activity profiling systems that generate a continuous record of activity patterns over time. These activity profiling systems rely on classification algorithms to properly interpret body-worn sensor data and identify various activities. This article examines the many strategies used to classify normal activities and/or identify falls using body-worn sensor data. The study is organized according to the many analytical methodologies and highlights the wide range of approaches that have previously been used in this sector. Although tremendous progress has been achieved in this critical field, there is still much room for improvement, particularly in the application of sophisticated classification approaches to situations requiring a wide range of activities.

The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of BMT BIM's financial statements. The analytical method used is the analysis of liquidity ratios, solvency ratios, and profitability ratios. Data collection techniques in this study used interviews and observation. The results of this study indicate that BMT BIM in 2017-2020 as a whole produces values ​​that do not meet the standard ratio criteria. From the calculation of the liquidity ratio as measured by the cash ratio, it produces a bad ratio because BMT BIM cash is smaller so that when the obligation matures, it is difficult to pay debts. The current ratio produces quite good criteria because BMT BIM has assets that are quite liquid in paying its short-term obligations. The solvency ratio as measured by the total debt to total asset ratio is not good, because the total assets of BMT BIM are not able to contribute adequately to the total debt owned. While the profitability ratio as measured by ROI is not good because cooperatives are less able to use their assets productively so they are not able to produce maximum SHU. ROE produces good criteria because the capital owned by cooperatives is quite reliable in producing maximum residual business results.

Published: June 2022

The 21st-Century learning has been widely associated with problem-solving skills in a global perspective but not much related to local wisdom, even though local perspectives are also needed in adapting people's daily social lives. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of Enculturation-Assimilation-Acculturation (EAA) model in enhancing problem-solving skills in learning science. This is pre-experimental research by using one group pretest and post-test design. The samples used were 140 students from two junior high schools in West Nusa Tenggara: (1) SMPN 2 Gunung Sari and (2) SMPN 3 Lingsar. Data collection using a problem-solving test refers to Curtis & Denton. Local wisdom integrated into EAA is the culture of the Sasak Tribe, including Bau Nyale, GORA rice, and awiq-awiq. The analysis data was done using Paired t-test/Wilcoxon test, N-gain, Tukey, ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis. The results showed that the integrated EAA model effectively enhances problem-solving skills (sig 0.001). The level of increase is medium, the average level of increase in the six groups is significantly different, and there are differences in learning outcomes of problem-solving skills. Therefore, it can be concluded that the integrated EAA teaching model effectively enhances students' problem-solving skills. The results of this study imply that the EAA integration model can be used as an alternative to overcome the low scientific creativity and responsibility of students in West Nusa Tenggara.

Published: June 2022

Practical learning activities carried out in remote situations during the COVID-19 pandemic triggered vocational students to take advantage of the surrounding environment as a learning resource. The process also determines how their HOTS and HOTSEP are. A learning model that can accommodate the skills is needed, such as ITA (Identify problems–Think and write–Analysis and argumentation) model. This learning model utilizes environmental issues intending to guide students to understand the environment through an online platform. This study aimed to analyze the HOTS and HOTSEP of vocational students, as the basis for developing a new learning model. The research sample consisted of 61 students with 29 male students and 32 female students. The sample was selected by simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the total scores of students' HOTS (17.14) and HOTSEP (18.74) were suggested as very low categories. Thus, the students' skills need to improve actively with innovative learning models, such as the application of the ITA model.

It is widely proven by several studies that efficacy is an important factor in the teaching-learning process. Therefore, the goal of this study was to examine whether teachers’ self-efficacy contributes to the development of students’ self-efficacy in Biology. This study was a descriptive research with survey type which used proportionate and stratified sampling techniques to select 98 secondary schools in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. Proportionate, purposive, and simple random sampling techniques were used to select 207 biology teachers and 392 SSS I and II biology students based on gender. The data collected were analysed using mean scores, chi-square, and regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that: 1) there was a positive correlation between teachers’ self-efficacy and students’ self-efficacy in biology; 2) the level of teachers’ self-efficacy was moderately high; and 3) female students have higher self-efficacy than male students in biology. The study concluded that teachers’ self-efficacy influences their students’ self-efficacy. Thus, it is recommended that biology teachers should be responsible and pay more attention to the development of their students’ self-efficacy irrespective of students’ gender.

Published: June 2022

Objectives

To assess the correlation between malocclusion and a history of bullying.

Materials and Methods

A cross-sectional study of 494 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years was conducted. The National School Health Survey questionnaire (PeNSE 1 and 2) was used to determine history of bullying by identifying the victim and the abuser. Variables were evaluated based on the individual (age), environment (income, father's and mother's education, housing, government assistance, and parents' occupation), social and emotional well-being (CPQ11–14 domains), self-perceived need for orthodontic treatment, and clinical conditions (crowding, diastema, maxillary and mandibular overjet, and anterior open bite). Data were analyzed by Spearman correlation and by multivariate analysis, which allowed graphical representation of the eight variables studied in only two dimensions.

Results

There was no correlation between bullying and variables related to the individual and the environment. Maxillary overjet and self-perception related to the need for orthodontic treatment were important to explain the data variability.

Conclusions

Malocclusion did not correlate with bullying history. However, increased maxillary overjet influences adolescent self-perception, suggesting a potential condition for bullying events.

OBJECTIVE

We compared arterial stiffness and heart rate variability (HRV) over time by diabetes type and determined the risk factors associated with worsening arterial stiffness and HRV in young adults with youth-onset diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, augmentation index) and six indices of heart rate variability were measured twice, 4.5 years apart, among participants with either youth-onset type 1 or type 2 diabetes in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study. Multivariable linear regression models were used to assess risk factors associated with arterial stiffness and HRV at follow-up.

RESULTS

Of 1,159 participants studied, 949 had type 1 diabetes (mean age 17.1 ± 4.7 years, 60.3% non-Hispanic White, 55% female) and 210 had type 2 diabetes (mean age 22.1 ± 3.5 years, 23.8% non-Hispanic White, 71% female) at initial assessment when diabetes duration was 7.9 years (both groups). Participants with type 2 versus type 1 diabetes had greater arterial stiffness and more abnormalities in HRV at initial and follow-up assessment and a greater change over time (all P < 0.05). Risk factors associated with worse arterial stiffness and HRV at follow-up in both types of diabetes included higher blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, waist circumference, and triglycerides over time and longer diabetes duration.

CONCLUSIONS

Arterial stiffness and HRV worsened over time with greater changes among participants with type 2 versus type 1 diabetes and among those with features of the metabolic syndrome. The risk factor profile documents potentially modifiable pathways to prevent or limit cardiovascular complications in young adults with youth-onset diabetes.

Published: June 2022

Fiscal preferences belongs to the measures of public policy which aim is supposed to fix the market failures. However, there is a shortage of studies which evaluates the effects of the fiscal instruments on enterprises from all sectors. Moreover, it is not clear how strong their influence in comparison to other external factors. One of the most important of the external determinants is the economic growth. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to analyze the effects of fiscal preferences on profitability of enterprises against the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and its components in Poland. We set three hypotheses but only two of them could be confirmed and only in some part. The effects of the fiscal instruments on profitability is positive although only for some kinds of enterprises. It was a little stronger impact than for selected macroeconomic variables connected with GDP. However, one must take into consideration that the impact of GDP or some of its components is negative and regards medium-sized companies.

Tras la Revolución de los Claveles el 25 de abril de 1974, el proceso de transición política en Portugal se convirtió en un asunto de enorme interés político e informativo por sus consecuencias no sólo para el futuro del país ibérico, sino también por sus relevantes implicaciones en la geopolítica mundial. Durante meses, el proceso revolucionario portugués ocupó la agenda informativa de los medios de comunicación internacionales, que siguieron con atención la evolución de los acontecimientos, especialmente en los meses previos a las elecciones constituyentes del 25 de abril de 1975. En este contexto, los inmigrantes portugueses en Estados Unidos vivieron con inquietud y agitación el proceso revolucionario, estimulados por uno de los medios de referencia en la colonia de Nueva Inglaterra, el semanario Portuguese Times, que intentó liderar un movimiento de oposición al comunismo y a favor de la democracia en Portugal. Este trabajo, de carácter cualitativo, tiene como objetivo analizar la línea editorial del periódico durante los tres meses anteriores a la votación y describir algunas de las acciones más significativas de su campaña de propaganda, que movilizaron a miles de inmigrantes mediante una apelación al miedo a la instauración de una dictadura comunista.

Background: Uncontrolled diabetes is at a high risk for complications. This chronic complication can cause a decrease in the quality of life of DM patients. There are several factors that affect the quality of life of people with diabetes. Religiosity, self-care, and coping mechanisms together affect the quality of life. Religiosity is very important for patients to have as a foundation for maintaining quality of life. Self-care is a basic effort to control and prevent complications arising from DM. Coping mechanisms are problem-solving efforts and defense mechanisms used to protect themselves from DM problems.
Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of religiosity, self-care, and coping mechanisms on the quality of life of DM sufferers.
Methods: This study uses a quantitative research design and a cross-sectional approach involving 130 respondents, using a total sampling technique. Data was collected using various questionnaires, including a Centrality Religiosity Scale (CRS) questionnaire, Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activity (SDSCA), Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced (COPE), and Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL). Inclusion criteria were patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with blood glucose levels  200 mg/dl and patients with type 2 diabetes who had diabetes > 1 year or more. Path Analysis is used to analyze data.
Results: The religiosity of patients with type 2 diabetes has a mean of 49.47, a mean of 42.59 for self-care, a mean of 85.29 for coping mechanisms, and a mean of 42.56 for quality of life. There is an effect of religiosity (p = 0.000), coping mechanisms (p = 0.001), and self-care (p = 0.000) on the quality of life.
Conclusion: Religiosity, coping mechanisms, and self-care affect the quality of life of people with Type 2 DM. Efforts that can be made by the hospital to increase health promotion related to improving the quality of life of people with diabetes mellitus.

Background: Hand hygiene (HH) is a critical component of infection prevention and control (IPC) which aims at preventing microbial transmission during patient care hence reducing the burden of healthcare associated infections (HCAIs). Information on the level of HH knowledge, attitudes and practices among healthcare workers (HCWs) from low- and middle-income countries is scarce. This study determined knowledge, attitude and practices of HH among students and staff nurses in Mwanza, Tanzania. Methods: This cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted between August and October 2020 among student and staff nurses from 2health centres, 2district hospitals, 1regional referral hospital and 1zonal referral hospital. Self-administered pretested structured questionnaires were used for data collection. All data was transferred to Microsoft excel spreadsheet for cleaning and coding, then to STATA software version 13.0 for analysis. Results: A total of 726 nurses aged 18 to 59 years with median (IQR) age of 29(24-38) years were enrolled. About 3 quarters 76.4% (555/726) of nurses had good level of knowledge on HH as most of them 88.3% (641/726) had received rigorous IPC trainings during COVID-19 pandemic. About 42.0% (305/726) of the participants reported that, the action of HH was effortless. Majority of the participants, 81.1% (589/726) practiced hand washing more than hand rubbing routinely. Being a student nurse [OR: 0.30, 95%CI: 0.21-1.44, p<.001], working in inpatient department [OR: 0.38, 95%CI: 0.27-0.55, p<.001], high level of education i.e., degree and above [OR: 1.74, 95%CI: 1.36-2.24, p<.001] and having working experience of 5 years and above [OR: 2.41, 95%CI: 1.52-3.82, p<.001] was associated with being knowledgeable of HH. Conclusion: Majority of the participants had good level of knowledge on HH because they had received rigorous training on IPC, notably HH during the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Multiple renal cysts in adult patients could have asymptomatic, benign and a nonprogressive course. However, these cysts could be renal features of a very rare hereditary, progressive syndrome defined as cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED or Sensenbrenner syndrome). Affected patients show dysmorphic features such as craniosynostosis, nail dystrophy, cutaneous dyshydrosis, dry or scaly palmar skin, trichodysplasia, deafness, pectus excavatum, telecanthus, hypertelorism, low set ears, everted lower lip, anteverted nares, short neck and height, joint laxity, inguinal hernia, widely spaced teeth, microdontia, hypodontia in addition to nephronophthisis. We report a 22-year-old male hypertensive patient with multiple renal cysts and dental malformations listed as malocclusion, screwdriver shaped crowns, widely spaced front teeth, microdontia and hyperdontia. Molecular analysis reported missense p.(Ala875Thr) and p.(Lys969Asn) variants in the WDR35 gene. The 1-year follow-up of this case provided the knowledge that angiotensin II receptor blocker drug (olmesartan) reduced the microalbuminuria to normal levels and preserved the renal functions. We suggest interdisciplinary studies, especially intraoral and genetic evaluations for patients with cystic renal diseases. For the first time we report that hyperdontia could be found as a dental feature of CED.

Importunate high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection is the most common trigger for the cervical carcinogenesis process. In this respect, the presence of cancer can be imputed to telomere lengthening or shortening. This paper explores the possible correlation between relative telomere length and viral load in two groups of women, namely: those with high-risk HPV infection and those who do not have this infection. Thus, samples comprising of 50 women in each group were evaluated for this research. The Amplisens HPV HCR screen-titre-FRT PCR kite was employed for quantitative analysis. Relative telomere length was quantified by real-time PCR. In each of the two HPV load groups, there was no correlation between age and telomere length. Telomere shortening was found in the cervical cell samples of women with high HPV loads, compared with women in the control group. Telomere shortening is associated with elevated HPV loads.

Despite of nearly 100 years of turbine engine development and design, blade vibrations remain a great engineering challenge. The rotating turbine blades’ vibrations lead to cyclic oscillations, which result in alternating stress and strain in harsh environments of high temperature and pressure. In modern aeroengines, high hot flow velocities might generate erosion and corrosion pitting on the metal surfaces, that leverage remarkably mean stresses. The combination of both mean and alternating stresses can lead to unexpected engine failures, especially under resonance conditions. Then, alternating stress amplitudes can exceed the safety endurance limit, what accelerates the high cyclic fatigue leading quickly to catastrophic failure of the blade. Concerning the existing state-of-the-art and new market demands, this paper revises forced vibrations with respect to excitation mechanisms related to three design levels: (i) a component like the blade design, (ii) turbine stage design consisting of vanes and blades and (iii) a system design of a combustor and turbine. This work reviews the best practices for preventing the crotating turbine and compressor blades from High Cyclic Fatigue in the design process. Finally, an engine commissioning is briefly weighed up all the pros and cons to the experimental validations and needed measuring equipment.
