Published: April 2024

The preservation and transmission of cultural heritage products are urgent tasks for the global community in the face of the challenges of increasingly rapid modernization and urbanization. Interior design, as a practice capable of shaping spaces, environments and emotions, has the unique potential to preserve and transmit the importance of cultural heritage. However, few review articles have discussed the connections between them and the process of applying cultural heritage to interior design. Therefore, the aim of this review is to analyze the literature from October 2019 to 2023 on interior design related to cultural heritage. Articles from 3 leading databases (WOS, SCOPUS and ScienceDirect) were searched and screened. Forty-two articles that met the criteria were ultimately selected for comprehensive analysis. ATLAS.ti 23 was used as the analysis software to produce quantitative results reflecting trends in cultural heritage and interior design research. Moreover, six themes on the subject were obtained from the qualitative analysis: (1) Reuse of historic buildings; (2) Recycling of waste materials; (3) Heritage Elements for Interior Design; (4) Heritage values; (5) Challenges; and (6) Preservation methods. Finally, the findings are expected to help address the relationship between interior design and cultural heritage and provide insights for future research and practice on the sustainability of cultural heritage in interior design.

Published: April 2024

In the present era, social media is being utilized frequently to establish connections with individuals across the globe. Contemporary society provides advantages to specific individuals, particularly celebrities, who gain increased recognition for their actions on and off the screen. Social media allows them to connect with their fans or the global community so they can easily support various causes, including climate change. This paper aims to analyze the impact of celebrity endorsements on climate change, emphasizing the necessity of involving celebrities, their influence, and the motivations behind their desire to be engaged in this cause. The Transnational Advocacy Networking Theory is applied to bolster their case since it underscores the methods and tactics that non-state actors might employ. This study uses qualitative methods in the form of a literature study. Data is collected from trusted sources, including Scopus-indexed articles and leading news media. A celebrity with a reputable profile, high standing, robust connections, and privileged position can significantly enhance the promotion of climate change goals through endorsements. These initiatives include speeches at global summits and international conferences, encouraging international society via social media, persuading fellow celebrities, and conducting low-carbon emission concerts worldwide.

Authors: Hung Nguyen , Hanh Tran Thu , Nhung Tran Thi Tuyet
Published: April 2024

Human rights, regarded as fundamental and inalienable entitlements, are delineated and safeguarded through a combination of international legal frameworks and national laws. In this article, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms for preserving human rights within both the international legal context and the specific framework of Vietnamese criminal law. We also put forth a set of recommendations designed to augment the effectiveness of human rights protection. In practice, the preservation and realization of human rights can be a complex challenge, and there are instances where these rights may be transgressed within the course of judicial proceedings. To tackle this problem, it is imperative that the provisions pertaining to human rights in both international and Vietnamese criminal law are given the requisite attention and adherence. Moreover, to ensure the comprehensive and effective implementation of human rights protection, it is imperative to establish a clear and robust legal framework. Striking the delicate balance between justice and human rights protection remains an ongoing endeavor, demanding continuous vigilance and adaptability in our legal systems. Ultimately, the harmonious coexistence of legal processes and human rights preservation is essential to fostering a just and equitable society.

Published: April 2024

Background: Telehealth uptake will remain sub-optimal without consumer trust. Safeguarding the security and privacy of health information plays an important role in building trust and acceptance of telehealth. Objectives: This study seeks to unpack the sociotechnical discourses on the use of telehealth with a focus on privacy and security in the context of United States health services. Methods: A search of the media outlets facilitated via the Factiva database was conducted. Using a qualitative method, thematic analysis was performed on the news texts to identify the key themes and provide contextual explanations. Results: The analysis led to the identification of three key themes: ‘data protection practice’, ‘clinical resilience’, and ‘digital health business value’ perspectives. These themes focus on various concepts of telehealth use including data privacy, security, public health emergency, compliance activities in the use of telehealth, meeting stakeholders’ needs, reducing costs of service delivery, the potential of telehealth for informed action, and improving users’ experience. Among these themes, ‘data protection practice’ was directly associated with privacy compliance and telehealth use. Other thematic discourses have provided an indirect reflection on the role of privacy compliance, with a greater emphasis placed on health service delivery and market dynamics rather than compliance in practice. Conclusion: Our study revealed the importance of the COVID-19 pandemic in telehealth use, highlighting the move towards ‘good faith’ and responsible use of telehealth.

Authors: Cattaneo Andrea , Vitali Andrea , Regazzoni Daniele , Rizzi Caterina
Published: April 2024

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of telerehabilitation. However, it remains unclear what proportion of people in need of rehabilitation can confidently use telecommunications networks and related devices. Objectives: The aim of this study is to estimate the proportion of patients who possess either the requisite digital literacy to perform telerehabilitation independently or have a family caregiver capable of providing effective support. Methods: Synthetic populations with a realistic kinship network (i.e. family trees) representative of European countries are built. Age, sex, and location-specific prevalence rates of rehabilitation needs and digital skills are combined to estimate the percentage of digitally literate patients and patients with digitally literate relatives. Results: In Europe, 86% of people in need of rehabilitation are potentially eligible for telerehabilitation. However, in four out of five cases, eligible patients over the age of 65 require caregiver support. Conclusion: Telerehabilitation has the potential to spread in Europe. Caregivers have an essential social role in ensuring sustainable access to telerehabilitation.

Published: April 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into digital healthcare, particularly in the anonymisation and processing of health information, holds considerable potential. Objectives: To develop a methodology using Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models to preserve the essence of medical advice in doctors’ responses, while editing them for use in scientific studies. Methods: German and English responses from EXABO, a rare respiratory disease platform, were processed using iterative refinement and other prompt engineering techniques, with a focus on removing identifiable and irrelevant content. Results: Of 40 responses tested, 31 were accurately modified according to the developed guidelines. Challenges included misclassification and incomplete removal, with incremental prompting proving more accurate than combined prompting. Conclusion: GPT-4 models show promise in medical response editing, but face challenges in accuracy and consistency. Precision in prompt engineering is essential in medical contexts to minimise bias and retain relevant information.

Published: April 2024

Background: There is an increased need for physical activity among children and adolescents. KIJANI, a mobile augmented reality game, is designed to increase physical activity through gamified exercises. Objectives: The primary aim of this study is to get feedback on the design and implementation of potentially physical activity-increasing features in KIJANI. Methods: A mixed-method study (n=13) evaluates newly implemented game design features quantitatively through measuring physical activity and qualitatively through participant feedback. Results: Preliminary results are limited and need further studies. Participants’ feedback shows a positive trend and highlights the game’s potential effectiveness. Conclusion: KIJANI shows potential for increasing physical activity among children and adolescents through gamified exercise. Future work will refine the game based on user feedback and findings presented in related work. The game’s long-term impact is to be explored.
Comparison of WebSocket and Hypertext Transfer Protocol for Transfer of Electronic Health Records
Authors: Kirilov Nikola
Published: April 2024

Background: Electronic health records (EHR) emerged as a digital record of the data that is generated in the healthcare. Objectives: In this paper the transfer times of EHRs using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol and WebSocket in both local network and wide area network (WAN) are compared. Methods: A python web application to serve Fast Health Interoperability Resources (FHIR) records is created and the transfer times of the EHRs over both HTTP and WebSocket connection are measured. 45000 test Patient resources in 20, 50, 100 and 200 resources per Bundle transfers are used. Results: WebSocket showed much better transfer times of large amount of data. These were 18 s shorter in the local network and 342 s shorter in WAN for the 20 resource per Bundle transfer. Conclusion: RESTful APIs are a convenient way to implement EHR servers; on the other hand, HTTP becomes a bottleneck when transferring large amount of data. WebSocket shows better transfer times and thus its superiority in such situations. The problem can be addressed by developing a new communication protocol or by using network tunneling to handle large data transfer of EHRs.

Published: April 2024

Background: Malnutrition in hospitalised patients can lead to serious complications, worse patient outcomes and longer hospital stays. State-of-the-art screening methods rely on scores, which need additional manual assessments causing higher workload. Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to validate a machine learning (ML)-based approach for an automated prediction of malnutrition in hospitalised patients. Methods: For 159 surgical in-patients, an assessment of malnutrition by dieticians was compared to the ML-based prediction conducted in the evening of admission. Results: The model achieved an accuracy of 83.0% and an AUROC of 0.833 in the prospective validation cohort. Conclusion: The results of this pilot study indicate that an automated malnutrition screening could replace manual screening tools in hospitals.

Published: April 2024

This article presents a methodology for calculating the hydraulic characteristics and structural parameters of variable (decreasing) cross-sectional distribution pressure drainage pipelines. The approach is based on analyzing a system of differential equations describing fluid flow with a variable flow rate in the investigated pipes. The study explores the most general case of distributor operation, considering a horizontal groundwater level above the pipeline. The analysis of the original equations includes a scenario where a constant average fluid flow rate is maintained along the length of the pressure channel. The velocity magnitude is influenced by the granulometric features of the surrounding soil and the filtration characteristics of the pipeline's side walls material. The investigation employs the concept of a conditional distribution infinitely long pipeline or a pipeline with limited length and infinite permeability of the side walls surface. This allows assuming a pressure close to zero at the pipeline's final cross-section, which minimally impacts the obtained results. The analysis is presented in a dimensionless form, and the resulting computational formulas are both simple and convenient. The article includes corresponding graphs to illustrate the presented dependencies.
