Understanding the Consumption of Antimicrobial Resistance–Related Content on Social Media: Twitter Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Kim Hyunuk , Proctor Chris R , Walker Dylan , McCarthy Ronan R
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing concerns in our society. Today, social media can function as an important channel to disseminate information about AMR. The way in which this information is engaged with depends on a number of factors, including the target audience and the content of the social media post.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to better understand how AMR-related content is consumed on the social media platform Twitter and to understand some of the drivers of engagement. This is essential to designing effective public health strategies, raising awareness about antimicrobial stewardship, and enabling academics to effectively promote their research on social media.

METHODS

We took advantage of unrestricted access to the metrics associated with the Twitter bot @AntibioticResis, which has over 13,900 followers. This bot posts the latest AMR research in the format of a title and a URL link to the PubMed page for an article. The tweets do not contain other attributes such as author, affiliation, or journal. Therefore, engagement with the tweets is only affected by the words used in the titles. Using negative binomial regression models, we measured the impact of pathogen names in paper titles, academic attention inferred from publication counts, and general attention estimated from Twitter on URL clicks to AMR research papers.

RESULTS

Followers of @AntibioticResis consisted primarily of health care professionals and academic researchers whose interests comprised mainly AMR, infectious diseases, microbiology, and public health. Three World Health Organization (WHO) critical priority pathogens—Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacteriaceae—were positively associated with URL clicks. Papers with shorter titles tended to have more engagements. We also described some key linguistic characteristics that should be considered when a researcher is trying to maximize engagement with their publication.

CONCLUSIONS

Our finding suggests that specific pathogens gain more attention on Twitter than others and that the levels of attention do not necessarily correspond to their status on the WHO priority pathogen list. This suggests that more targeted public health strategies may be needed to raise awareness about AMR among specific pathogens. Analysis of follower data suggests that in the busy schedules of health care professionals, social media offers a fast and accessible gateway to staying abreast of the latest developments in this field.

Published: June 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Cannabidiol (CBD) has been found to contain various advantageous effects useful for a wide range of treatments. These effects consist of, but are not limited to, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as upregulation of keratin and melanin production. These properties have increased interest in utilizing CBD as an additive to sunscreen. In this review, we describe CBD’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics, how it is able to increase production of necessary UV protectors, melanin and keratin, and its feasibility and future as a sunscreen additive. The vast potential of CBD has only just begun to be investigated and thus increased research is necessary to uncover its efficacy.
Effectiveness of smartphone app-based anxiety therapy in Williams Beuren syndrome: a single-case, multiple-baseline study (Preprint)
Authors: Lehman Natacha , Genevieve David , Trouillet Raphaël
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND

Williams syndrome (WS-OMIM 194050; Orpha 904) is a rare condition mostly associated with intellectual disability. People with Williams syndrome are eight times more likely to have anxiety disorders than the general population. Therapeutic solutions to treat the anxiety remain limited, particularly concerning non-pharmacological therapy. However, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been found efficacious in managing anxiety disorders and can be used for people with intellectual disability.

OBJECTIVE

This study assessed the efficiency of a CBT program based on a smartphone app for people with Williams syndrome and anxiety.

METHODS

We used a single-case experimental design with multiple baselines implying repeated measures of judgement criteria. Five adults with Williams syndrome and anxiety underwent nine CBT sessions. Participants performed daily self-assessments of anxiety by using a smartphone app that allowed for ecological and repeated evaluation of the anxiety. Anxiety and quality of life were externally assessed before and after the program. Participants were assessed during a 3-month follow-up.

RESULTS

We found a significant reduction in anxiety for all participants between the start and end of therapy as well as between the start of therapy and the 3-month post-therapy follow-up. Quality of life was improved but without reaching statistical significance. We also found an impact on other anxiety-related elements. Participants who were accompanied by a loved one at each session more regularly performed their daily self-assessments using the smartphone app than did others.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first study to highlight the benefits of a smartphone-based CBT protocol for anxiety in patients with Williams syndrome, using a protocol adapted to small sample sizes. It underscores the value of psychotherapeutic management with smartphone support, allowing for adapting tools for patients with intellectual disabilities.

A Functional Study of Meta-discourse
Authors: Mao Fanyu
Published: June 2023

With the development of the discourse analysis theory, researchers have begun to pay attention to the meaning of discourse itself, and the meta-discourse has become a hot spot in discourse research. The definitions of meta-discourse in different schools are different and have their own biases, but the meta-discourse role has been widely accepted of organizing the discourse, expressing the author’s views, and considering the reader’s reflection, which is a way for the author to carry out the structure of the paper and organize ideas. From the perspective of Halliday’s system and function, this paper analyzes the three major functions of metadiscourse: ideational, interpersonal and textual metafunctions. The ideational metadiscourse can affect the propositional content and semantic interpretation of discourse to a certain extent. The interpersonal metadiscourse helps understand and evaluate propositional information, establish the relationship between the author and the reader and emphasize the interaction between them. The textual meta-discourse helps the writer express how they connect conceptual materials and how the text produces meaning in the context. In addition, the author believes that the use of the meta-discourse also reflects the interactive, inter-subjective, and dialogic features of the discourse.

The hypotalamic disturbances during obesity: neuroinflammation and metabolic dysfunction/La alteración hipotalámica en la obesidad: neuroinflamación y disfunción metabólica
Authors: Torres Guerrero Haydée , Ramírez Carreto Ricardo Jair , Rodríguez Cortés Yesica María , Chavarría Krauser Anahí
Published: June 2023

La obesidad es considerada actualmente como un problema de salud pública global y se caracteriza por la hipertrofia e hiperplasia del tejido adiposo debido a la ingesta hipercalórica y la falta de actividad física, desarrollando disfunción metabólica, inflamación sistémica crónica de bajo grado y gradualmente neuroinflamación hipotalámica. El tejido adiposo actúa como un órgano endocrino secretando adipocinas y citocinas alrededor de los órganos periféricos, actuando como regulador del metabolismo, sin embargo, la presencia de niveles elevados de ácidos grasos libres y de moléculas inflamatorias derivadas de los adipocitos, pueden alterar la respuesta inmunitaria sistémica, generando inflamación crónica, comprometiendo la integridad de la barrera hemato-encefálica y estimulando la respuesta de la glía, especialmente en regiones específicas del hipotálamo, centro de regulación de la homeostasis energética. Las células gliales hipotalámicas son importantes en la transmisión de señales inflamatorias relacionadas con la dieta y pueden modular la actividad neuronal, así como responder a las señales inmunológicas periféricas e iniciar la inflamación local y gliosis. Esta revisión se enfoca en la descripción general de la disfunción metabólica asociada a la obesidad y su participación en la alteración de la regulación hipotalámica, provocando neuroinflamación y modificaciones en la conducta alimentaria.

Published: June 2023

One of the content materials in constitutional amendment process is Article 7 of 1945 Republic of Indonesia Constitution concerning the President's term of office being limited to only two terms. During the era of President Joko Widodo's leadership, the issue of extending presidential term into three terms resurfaced. This study raises the main issues studied are, First, how is the legal politics of extending the President's term of office in terms of the Presidential Government System. Second, what is the urgency of President's term extension in terms of the Presidential System. This research is a normative juridical research with legal materials. The approach method used is the statutory approach and the conceptual approach. This study uses a qualitative descriptive analysis technique. Based on the results of research and discussion, that First, legal politics in extending the presidential term of office, namely placing a place to filter leaders so they can advance in a direct democratic party has a logical consequence so that in a presidential system of government, the existence of political parties can certainly have an influence on support on every presidential policy taken. Second, the urgency of an extension of the term of office of President in terms of Presidential Government system, that there is no need to extend the term of office for three terms because it causes discontinuity regarding the terms of office of the President and Vice President in Indonesia in order to prevent authoritarianism. The advice from this paper is that the extension of the term of office of the President and Vice President is sufficient for 2 periods and there is no need for an extension of the term of office of the President for more than two consecutive terms, because it can lead to abuse of power.

Authors: Cardoso Adalberto , Préteceille Edmond
Published: June 2023

A primeira década do século XXI foi marcada, no Brasil, por importantes mudanças econômicas, sociais e políticas: redução significativa das desigualdades de rendimento; diminuição relevante do desemprego e crescimento do emprego formal; saída da miséria de parcela expressiva da população em decorrência de políticas sociais; aumento do investimento em educação, saúde, habitação, infraestrutura urbana, cultura, dentre outros, que resultaram na redução das desigualdades em múltiplas dimensões. Contra esse pano de fundo, e tendo em vista o histórico caráter dual da cidade brasileira, a pergunta a que o artigo procura responder é: a redução multidimensional das desigualdades diminuiu a segregação e as desigualdades urbanas? Diante das mudanças mencionadas, nossa hipótese é de que a resposta é positiva. Para demonstrá-lo, o artigo lança mão dos dados dos censos demográficos de 2000 e 2010 e compara as regiões metropolitanas do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo, utilizando como base inovações metodológicas importantes na forma de construção das categorias de análise, vis-à-vis os estudos existentes sobre o tema.
Participation and social control in sanitation within the context of the reparation of damage from the disasters in Mariana and Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Authors: Ramos Alisson Martins , Victral Davi Madureira , Rezende Sonaly
Published: June 2023

The disasters that occurred in Mariana and Brumadinho, in addition to the enormous loss of human lives and environmental damage, also generated impacts on the water supply, in the springs, thereby causing catchment to become unachievable, in some cases for a long period of time, and in the infrastructures, in the territories and municipalities along the basins of the Doce and Paraopeba Rivers. The impacts and damage resulting from disasters cause substantial disruption and may foster social mobilization and participation throughout these territories. This study seeks to analyze the perspectives of social participation and social control in basic sanitation in the agreements related to the reparation of damage resulting from the collapse of the Fundão dam, in Mariana, Brazil, under the responsibility of Samarco, and of the Córrego do Feijão dam, in Brumadinho, Brazil, under the responsibility of Vale. Inconsistencies and gaps have been identified in the strategies adopted by the government aimed at participation and social control in sanitation in both disasters, thereby potentially compromising the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation.

Deep recurrent networks predicting the gap evolution in adiabatic quantum computing
Authors: Mohseni Naeimeh , Navarrete-Benlloch Carlos , Byrnes Tim , Marquardt Florian
Published: June 2023

In adiabatic quantum computing finding the dependence of the gap of the Hamiltonian as a function of the parameter varied during the adiabatic sweep is crucial in order to optimize the speed of the computation. Inspired by this challenge, in this work we explore the potential of deep learning for discovering a mapping from the parameters that fully identify a problem Hamiltonian to the aforementioned parametric dependence of the gap applying different network architectures. Through this example, we conjecture that a limiting factor for the learnability of such problems is the size of the input, that is, how the number of parameters needed to identify the Hamiltonian scales with the system size. We show that a long short-term memory network succeeds in predicting the gap when the parameter space scales linearly with system size. Remarkably, we show that once this architecture is combined with a convolutional neural network to deal with the spatial structure of the model, the gap evolution can even be predicted for system sizes larger than the ones seen by the neural network during training. This provides a significant speedup in comparison with the existing exact and approximate algorithms in calculating the gap.
MAZHAB FIQIH PADA ZAMAN SEKARANG
Authors: Hasanuddin Hasanuddin
Published: June 2023

There are two fanatical attitudes that develop in Islamic society, namely fanatics within a school and anti-school fanatics. Attitudes and conditions like this have led to disputes and divisions within the body of the Muslims. In fact, not infrequently differences in furu' (branches) issues can trigger fights and bloodshed among fellow Muslims. It is at this point that the issue of schools of thought in Islamic law becomes important for further investigation. The history of the emergence of schools of fiqh occurred in five periods: The growth period (0-1 H century), namely during the time of the Prophet, during the companions and during the tabiin period. The formation period (2-3 H centuries) was the Imam Abu Hanifah School, the Imam Malik School, the Imam Syafii School, the Imam Ahmad School and other schools. The golden period (3-9 H century). Decline period (10th – 13th century H). And the period of revival (14th Century Present). It turns out that practicing madzhab for other than absolute mujtahid is obligatory according to ushul fiqh scholars. And inviting people to leave the schools of thought on the grounds of returning to the Al-Qur'an and al-Sunnah is a futile effort. Schools should be understood as a scientific discipline (manhaj) for us to understand the Qur'an and al-Sunnah. Therefore, the existence of a school of thought in the contemporary era is still needed to harmonize the factual truths of the Qur'an and as-Sunnah.

Published: June 2023

Antecedents of individuals’ intentions have received growing consideration in entrepreneurship research. The purpose of the present study is to analyse the impact of dark personality traits on entrepreneurial intention, within the context of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). A questionnaire-based online survey was conducted on 520 undergraduate university business students at a Greek public university. Data analysis was implemented through structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings indicate that perceived behavioural control impacts entrepreneurial intention and that attitude has a direct impact on entrepreneurial intention through the dark triad variable. The implications of the findings are significant both for academic policymakers as well as for educators, since the systematic fostering of students’ entrepreneurial intention could provide empirical evidence and help formulate policies that inspire them to choose entrepreneurship as a career option. Findings will contribute to the understanding of the relationship between dark personality traits, entrepreneurial intention, and the TPB, providing valuable insights for entrepreneurship education to identify individuals who are more likely to become successful entrepreneurs. Finally, findings could add to the theoretical framework on the impact of personality traits on entrepreneurial intention and behaviour and to the use of TPB in predicting entrepreneurial outcomes.

Authors: Vichare Varad , Nene Anita , Utage Ashish
Published: June 2023

Thermal energy storage systems (TES) have emerged as a vital solution
for addressing the gap between energy supply and demand. While research
on solar energy storage has primarily focused on flat-plate collectors,
limited work has been done to explore the potential of Scheffler solar
concentrators. This study proposes an innovative approach to thermal
energy storage using a Scheffler solar concentrator and phase change
material (PCM) to address the energy needs of rural areas with limited
access to electricity. Real-time design and testing were conducted using
paraffin wax as the PCM, and CFD analysis was performed using the ANSYS
Fluent software to determine the optimal charging and discharging times.
The results indicated that the required charging time was 17 min
according to the CFD analysis, while the experimental results yielded a
charging time of 18 min. The results demonstrated that the proposed
approach is a feasible and effective solution for meeting the energy
demands of rural communities. The charging time was optimized using the
response surface method, yielding an optimal charging time of 20.5 min
and an optimal discharging time of 26.2 min. Overall, these findings
highlight the potential of utilizing Scheffler solar concentrators and
PCMs for sustainable and reliable thermal energy storage.

elvitegravir/cobicistat/FTAF. VF occurred in 4.2% (n=44), with
incidence rate of 1.63 per 1000 person-months of follow-up (PMFU) and
probability at 24-30 months of 3.8%-4.0%, respectively. Out of the 44
VF, in 75% virological re-supression was achieved while maintaining
BFTAF. Discontinuation occurred in 15% after a median time of 13.5
months of follow-up, with incidence rate of 5.67 per 1000 PMFU, and
probability at 24-30 months of 11.9%-15.3%, respectively. Main
discontinuation reasons were simplification (51.3%) and toxicity
(21.8%, involving CNS in half of cases). TF occurred in 18.6% with
incidence rate of 7.01 per 1000 PMFU after a median time of 13.6
observation months; probability at 24-30 months was 14.8%-18.4%,
respectively. Conclusions: BFTAF proved effective and well
tolerated in clinical practice.

La competitividad de las empresas del sector eléctrico depende de la gestión de su cadena de suministro ampliada, pero existe poca investigación empírica sobre la metodología para lograrlo. Por tanto, el objetivo es analizar la relación entre la implementación de un adecuado programa de desarrollo de proveedores en el grupo empresarial Interconexión Eléctrica SA (ISA), y la mejora de la gestión de su cadena de suministro. Los elementos conceptuales y operativos del programa se determinaron experimentalmente a partir de un modelo hipotético adoptado, el cual fue ajustado cualitativamente a las necesidades de los actores a través de proyectos piloto para la implementación de procesos siguiendo la tendencia evolutiva de los estándares internacionales de gestión. Como hallazgo representativo, se encuentra que el programa implementado en ISA, condicionado a desarrollar las capacidades y competencias de sus proveedores en el sector eléctrico, presenta una relación positiva con la mejora de la gestión de su cadena de suministro extendida. Una de las principales contribuciones de este estudio, es que los resultados pueden facilitar la implementación de nuevos programas sectoriales adecuados para el desarrollo de capacidades y competencias específicas de los proveedores críticos, la mejora de la gestión de otras cadenas de suministro extendidas y las decisiones de aprovisionamiento. en la gestión de proveedores.

This paper examined the nexus of drivers of population mobility and socio-economic development in Uyo capital city. The increase in the geographical mobility of business men and women and students as a result of perceived opportunity for a better life, high income and better quality of health care and education facilities among other factors especially among entrepreneur has been associated with drivers of movement in the study area. Data for the study was generated through focus group discussion and population appraisal questionnaire (PMAQ) administered to 384 respondents using snowball technique. Multiple correlation technique was employed to examine the relationship between drivers of population mobility and socio-economic development, findings revealed that among other factors that drive population mobility in the area is economic factor as the foremost. Also, there exist a high linear relationship between the drivers of population mobility and socio-economic development. The increase drivers of population mobility have brought to the fore the establishment of many businesses in the study area. The study recommended that heads of household that make up the capital city should come together in agreement that no land should be sold to anyone without the signatory of the chief in charge of the area in order to checkmate fraudulent behaviour by land owners, thereby encouraging potential investors in the area, also no construction of residential or office building should be erected without due approval from relevant authorities, to control indiscriminate construction in the city and in the water way.

Evaluation of geosynthetic interface friction at low normal stress: comparison between two different test procedures
Authors: Paolo Pavanello  , Paolo Carrubba  , Nicola Moraci
Published: June 2023

The interface friction between geosynthetics has previously been extensively studied with reference to medium-high contact stresses. The interface strength at low contact stress is a less investigated chapter whose importance, however, is evident for the stability of geosynthetic landfill barriers during the construction stage and of the covering systems. The inclined plane is the most used laboratory test for measuring the geosynthetic interface friction at normal stresses as low as 5 kPa. This type of test, however, is not free from criticalities, due to the non-uniformity of the contact stresses induced by the inclination of the plane. Alternatively, it is possible to extrapolate the results of the classic direct shear test, which, however, generally cannot be performed at such low contact stress values. The paper compares data results provided by inclined plane tests and an experimental apparatus capable of performing horizontal shear tests at a vertical stress of 5 kPa. The peculiarity of this device is to guarantee a constant growth rate of the tangential stress equivalent to what happens with the inclined plane test. The good agreement of the interface strength data obtained for two different geosynthetic interfaces leads the way for possible future innovations and insights on the topic.

Identifying and assessing potential risks of implementing new technologies is critical for organizations to respond to them efficiently during the technology life cycle. Blockchain has been introduced as one of the emerging and disruptive technology in the field of information technology in recent years, which system developers have noted. In this study, a comprehensive set of risks have been identified and categorized based on the literature findings to identify the risks of blockchain implementation. Critical risks are defined by performing a two-stage fuzzy Delphi method based on the experts' opinions. Then, possible causal relationships between considered risks are identified and analyzed using the fuzzy cognitive mapping method. Finally, the most important risks are ranked based on the degree of prominence and the relationships between them. Industry enterprise resource planning system based on blockchain technology has been studied as a case study. The obtained results indicate that the technology's immaturity has the most impact, the high investment cost is the most impressive risk, and privacy has a critical role in risks relationships. In addition, the high investment cost has the highest priority among other risks and the privacy and issues with contract law are ranked second and third, respectively.

Corruption is a problem that is being faced by almost all countries in the world. One way to prevent corruption is to strengthen anti-corruption character education. This study aims to analyze the basic anti-corruption values ​​based on local wisdom of the Malind tribe to strengthen the anti-corruption character for elementary school students in Merauke. This type of research is descriptive qualitative, with observation and interview data collection techniques. Observations were made by observing the environment and the life of the Malind tribe. Interviews were conducted with the adat leader, the adat secretary, as well as several Malind tribal communities. The results showed that in everyday life there are several local wisdoms or attitudes of the Malind tribe which are the same as anti-corruption values. These values ​​are honest (hekaymayan), caring (anim bekatik), independent (anepkaitika), discipline (wetkatane), responsibility (weglah), hard work (payaa), simplicity (hayakla), courage (yaman), and just ( sangahawekla). These values ​​can be included in lessons at school in order to form an anti-corruption character towards students.
