Virtual reality as a strategy for labour pain relief: scoping review protocol
Authors: Coelho Marta , Tereso Alexandra
Published: August 2023

Introduction During labour, pain can affect the health of the mother and the foetus, and its relief is a right of the mother and a duty of the professionals. In the promotion of a positive experience of labour, it is crucial that nurses specialised in maternal and obstetric health give priority to pain assessment and the use of non-pharmacological methods for pain relief, providing the necessary resources and empowering parturients to use them. Among said methods, virtual reality stands out due to its ease of use and for allowing the reduction of pain levels by diverting attention from the real world, using computers and other devices. Since it is a new approach that is not yet implemented in delivery rooms in Portugal, it is important to map the facilitating factors and barriers associated with its use, so that the dissemination of existing knowledge and its transfer to skilled nursing care during the first stage of labour can be planned. Objective To map the research evidence on the facilitating factors and barriers in the use of VR as a non-pharmacological strategy for pain relief during labour in hospital settings. Methods This protocol follows the guidelines published by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and MedicLatina through the EBSCOhost platform, the Joanna Briggs Institute EBP Database, through the Ovid platform are considered for the search and, the grey literature is also included. As inclusion criteria, qualitative, quantitative and mixed studies that address virtual reality as a pain relief strategy during labour in hospital settings (based on the mnemonic PCC - Population, Concept and Context), published in Portuguese, French, Spanish or English language between 2017 and 2022 are considered. The titles and abstracts of identified references will be independently reviewed and assessed for eligibility by two reviewers. In the event of a tie, a third reviewer will be used. Full text studies and data will be extracted using a form. The data extraction table will show the mapped data in a descriptive way answering the research questions. Discussion The results will allow summarising the barriers and facilitating factors in the use of Virtual Reality for pain relief during labour and thus contribute to decision making in planning the dissemination of this strategy to pregnant women and health professionals and its implementation in delivery rooms.

NIR Light-Emitting Devices Based on Ligand-Crosslinked
CuInS2/ZnS Quantum Dot Emissive Layer
Authors: Kim Hyeonbin , Keum Jinho , Kang Moon Sung
Published: August 2023

Near-infrared (NIR) light-emitting components have gained attention for
applications in sensing, communication, lighting, healthcare, and security.
Colloidal CuInS2/ZnS quantum dots, composed of
environmentally-friendly elements, are promising as active materials for NIR
light-emitting devices. While the solution processibility of colloidal quantum
dots allows for cost-effective film formation, it can also result in film
dissolution when subsequent solution processes are performed to deposit upper
functional layers during device fabrication. In this study, we demonstrate the
effectiveness of ligand crosslinking in CuInS2/ZnS quantum dots,
providing chemical tolerance to the film during subsequent solution processes.
This enables the development of solution-based NIR light-emitting diodes,
overcoming the film dissolution issue. Our findings open new possibilities for
cost-effective fabrication of NIR devices using colloidal quantum dots.
The Employer Brand through a Brand Lens: A Critical Review of Literature
Authors: Wolfswinkel Michelle , Enslin Carla , Terblanche-Smit Marlize
Published: August 2023

The employer brand is vital to human resources management in attracting and retaining talent. Whilst the employer brand straddles the functional domains of human resources and brand management, it’s nature and function as a brand construct within strategic brand management is under-researched and fragmented in literature. In practice, ineffective application of brand building theory and practice to the employer brand impedes talent attraction and retention and detracts from the overall brand’s coherence and strength. The study set out to explore the employer brand’s purpose, nature and function as a brand construct in context of strategic brand building and organisational leadership thereof. The integrative or critical literature review methodology includes 118 literature sources and unfolds over four documented phases of research. Thematic content analysis yields four themes, shedding light on the employer brand as an extension of the corporate brand, the role of strategically aligned leadership in creation and management thereof, the importance of employer brand positioning and congruent branding to all brand stakeholders. Findings are drawn together in a proposed employer brand perspective framework, enriched with practices to guide human resources management and cross-functional leadership in creating and managing effective, aligned employer brands.
Application and Prospect of Telesurgery: The Role of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Niu Haitao
Published: August 2023

Remote surgery refers to a new surgical mode in which doctors operate on patients with the help of surgical robots, network technology, and virtual reality technology. These robots are located far away from patients. The remote surgical robot system integrates key technologies such as robot, communication technology, remote control technology, space mapping algorithm, and fault tolerance analysis. Apply a variety of emerging networking modes such as 5G, optical fiber private network, fusion network technology, and deterministic network to realize the motion of the subordinate surgical robot and the vision of the main knife, and ensure stable signal transmission and safe remote operation. The development and application of remote surgical robots has become a new trend, which helps to break the barriers of unbalanced regional medical resource allocation, promote the rational allocation of high-quality medical resources, and solve the telemedicine problems in special areas and special circumstances. The development prospect is broad. In the future, relying on the 5G network technology with high speed, low power consumption, and low latency, remote surgery can operate more efficiently and stably, and the surgical robot will also develop toward a more portable and flexible direction, so as to better serve patients.

Authors: Salehi Nilofar , Sohrevardi Seyed Mojtaba , Salehi Tali Shahriyar , Afzal Golnaz
Published: August 2023

Background: The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) seriously threatens the health and life of people with underlying diseases, such as patients undergoing hemodialysis. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis referring to hemodialysis centers affiliated with the Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences between 2019 and 2021. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive-analytical study with a sample size of 144 hemodialysis patients with COVID-19. The data were collected by a demographic questionnaire, a checklist based on the presence of underlying diseases, the cause of the kidney failure, drugs received during hemodialysis, medications used for COVID, the result of COVID-19 treatment, and outpatient or inpatient treatment, and the checklist of laboratory indices extracted from the patient’s medical records. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20 and descriptive and analytical statistical tests. Results: The average age was 57.2 ± 14.42 years, and 64.6% were men, 35.4% were women, 64.6% recovered, and 35.4% died, although 42.4% of patients were treated on an outpatient basis, and 57.6% needed hospitalization. Also, 93.7% of patients were vaccinated. The average duration of hemodialysis treatment was 6.44 years, and diabetes accounted for 31.1% of the causes of kidney failure, and these people had a higher chance of mortality. Positive c-reactive protein (CRP) results were found in 72.2% of patients, and 54.2% had a positive erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). In addition, 22.2% of patients used mechanical ventilation, and 88.2% had positive PCR results. Iron, ferritin, albumin, and hemoglobin index were lower than normal in all patients. Patients with positive hepatitis B antigens were treated with sofosbuvir. In outpatient treatment, 65.6% used remdesivir, and 70.5% used dexamethasone. Regarding inpatient treatment, 75.9% used methylprednisolone, 56.6% used tocilizumab, and 54.2% used pirfenidone. Conclusions: The rate of death and hospitalization in hemodialysis patients with COVID-19 was higher than that of normal people. Diabetes increases the chance of morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 in hemodialysis patients. The reduction of hemoglobin, iron, ferritin, and albumin weakened the therapeutic response of hemodialysis patients to COVID-19 and increased the chance of death. Although various drugs were used in the treatment of COVID-19 hemodialysis patients, the patients did not follow a single regimen.

Authors:   Association for the Reunificational Education of Korea, Park Jiwook , Kang Seungwoo
Published: August 2023

This scoping review identified trends in research on health education interventions for North Korean defectors in South Korea and analyzed the intervention process to provide evidence for developing future interventions. The scoping review followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines, and the PRECEDE-PROCEED model was used to analyze the design, implementation, and evaluation of health education interventions. The review included eight studies out of 459 identified through five databases from January 1997 to December 2022. The trend showed that studies were scarce and quantitative–focused. Therefore, it is necessary to promote research and overcome methodological limitations to improve the research quality. The process analysis found that interventions need to be tailored to the specific needs of North Korean defectors, considering enabling and reinforcing factors to translate knowledge into healthy behavior. The evaluation phase should employ a variety of methods and strengthen both process and outcome evaluations. Lastly, interventions should pursue integrated health education to provide continuous health information and counseling channels. The results of this review can be utilized to improve the design, implementation, and evaluation of health education interventions and settlement support for the health of North Korean defectors in South Korea.

Authors: Juniarti Gita , Ariella Jihan
Published: August 2023

The South Korean entertainment industry’s popularity and global reach have prompted private companies to place advertise their products to international viewers. South Korean celebrities have also been found to form positively perceived beauty standards, consequently serving as an antecedent of beauty product awareness and perceived beauty product quality among international audiences. This article aims to unveil how male identities are constructed in masculinity symbols displayed in skincare product ads. This research examines Everwhite skincare ads as Indonesian products with South Korean actors as brand ambassadors. Findings reveal that these ads still rely on stereotypical constructs and traditional discourses of what it takes to be a man. Implications for advertising attitudes towards masculinity were found to be beauty standards. For example, men are invited to consume grooming products but are reminded to do it the men’s way. Men are also reminded of their sexual power to seduce and attract women with the aid of the product.
Determinação das Áreas de Inundação da bacia do Córrego das Flores, Bauru - SP (Brasil)
Authors: Kellner Erich , Takehara Richard Takeo
Published: August 2023

O modelo de ocupação urbana desenvolvido nas bacias hidrográficas, em especial pela ocupação dos fundos de vale, traz algumas consequências severas ao próprio modelo urbano. Com a impermeabilização do solo ocorre a diminuição da a infiltração das águas de chuva, diminui o tempo de concentração da bacia, ocasiona o aumento do escoamento superficial direto e provoca a rápida elevação dos níveis de água que escoam pelo talvegue, resultado, muitas vezes, no transbordamento das águas para fora do canal de drenagem ou leito principal dos corpos d´água ocasionando os alagamentos das áreas ribeirinhas ou leito secundário. Na impossibilidade de alteração do desenho urbano estabelecido, o conhecimento das áreas afetadas por eventos de chuva, permite ao gestor urbano traçar planos para mitigar os riscos aos quais as pessoas são expostas na ocorrência desses eventos extremos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de construir mapas de áreas de alagamento ao longo da Avenida Nações Unidas localizada na cidade de Bauru (SP), a partir da análise da capacidade de escoamento do canal que forma o talvegue da bacia do Córrego das Flores. Foram determinadas as vazões excedentes, as alturas de elevação e as áreas de alagamento a partir dos cálculos hidráulicos e hidrológicos tendo como referência normas projetuais e legislações normativas. Os Resultados mostraram que mesmo chuvas de recorrências mais frequentes (TR=2 anos) são capazes de causar inundações e oferecer riscos a população, sendo agravadas em eventos de maior intensidade.
ÁREAS VERDES NO PARCELAMENTO DO SOLO URBANO: CENÁRIO PARA O MUNICÍPIO DE SANTO ANDRÉ
Authors: Pegurer Cristina , GALLARDO RAIMUNDO MARIANA DE FATIMA , PIMENTEL PIEMONTE ALINE
Published: August 2023

RESUMO
As áreas verdes são essenciais no ambiente urbano, seja por agregarem resiliência às mudanças climáticas e aos eventos extremos, seja por apresentarem benefícios diversos, tanto ecossistêmicos como salutogênicos. Os planos de ocupação do território devem considerar a implantação de áreas verdes nas cidades, entretanto muitas áreas que haviam sido reservadas como tal, nos processos de parcelamento do solo, acabaram por “desaparecer” da paisagem urbana, sendo ocupada por outros usos. Assim, o presente trabalho trata das áreas verdes reservadas para uso comum, nos projetos de parcelamento do solo urbano. A abordagem do tema buscou estabelecer relação entre a gestão pública e os usos realmente efetivados para essas terras, originalmente designadas como áreas de uso comum. Para viabilização da análise proposta, são apresentados dados referentes ao município de Santo André, localizado na região metropolitana de São Paulo. A partir da base de informações e das pesquisas elaboradas para a dissertação de mestrado de uma das autoras, que considerou os usos cadastrados para as “áreas verdes” conforme o banco de dados de áreas públicas da Prefeitura de Santo André, os dados foram atualizados e novamente mapeados. Os resultados da análise indicam que muitas áreas reservadas como áreas verdes foram ocupadas ou destinadas a usos distintos daquele originalmente previsto no parcelamento do solo.

Published: August 2023

O Estudo de Impacto de Vizinhança (EIV) é um dos instrumentos da Política Urbana brasileira regulamentado pelo Estatuto da Cidade, Lei Federal 10.257/2001. É considerado, no Brasil, como um importante instrumento para a gestão urbana municipal, sendo diretamente relacionado à gestão ambiental. Nesse trabalho, buscou-se caracterizar a aplicação do EIV em quatro cidades médias do interior paulista através da análise da regulação existente, das formas de implementação desse instrumento e da capacidade institucional relacionada ao EIV. As informações levantadas no presente trabalho apresentam caráter preliminar e fazem parte de uma pesquisa que visa analisar comparativamente os processos de integração entre EIV e Licenciamento Ambiental Municipal (LAM) em cidades médias do interior de São Paulo. Os resultados prévios revelam que a maioria dos municípios não possuem leis específicas para EIV, o que pode gerar insegurança jurídica tanto para empreendedores que necessitem de aprovar projetos com EIV. Conclui-se que se faz necessário levantar dados através de entrevistas, visitas aos órgãos municipais e levamento de documentos que não estão disponíveis online, a fim de pesquisar em profundidade o processo de regulação e aprovação de EIV, bem como possíveis integrações com o LAM nesses municípios.

Background & objectives: To evaluate the retention of complete cast crowns in teeth with adequate and inadequate crown height and to evaluate the effects of auxiliary retentive features on retention form complete cast crowns. Materials and methods: Sixty freshly extracted human premolars. They were divided into 2 major groups depending upon the height of the teeth after the preparation. Group1 (H1): prepared teeth with constant height of 3.5 mm and Group 2 (H2): prepared teeth with constant height of 2.5 mm. Each group is further subdivided into 3 subgroups, depending upon the retentive features incorporated. First sub group were prepared conventionally, second sub group with proximal grooves and third subgroups with proximal boxes preparation. Castings produced in Nickel chromium alloy were cemented with glass ionomer cement and the cemented castings were subjected to tensional forces required to dislodge each cemented casting from its preparation and used for comparison of retentive quality. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using Oneway ANOVA test. Results: The results showed there was statistically significant difference between adequate (H1) and inadequate (H2) group and increase in retention when there was incorporation of retentive features compared to conventional preparations. Incorporation of retentive grooves was statistically significant compared to retention obtained by boxes. Results also showed there was no statistically significant difference between long conventional and short groove. Conclusion: Complete cast crowns on teeth with adequate crown height exhibited greater retention than with inadequate crown height. Proximal grooves provided greater amount of retention when compared with proximal boxes.

Angka stunting pada anak di Indonesia masih berada di atas batasan yang telah ditetapkan oleh WHO. Hal ini menjadi perhatian pemerintah dan juga kerja sama masyarakat untuk mengatasi masalah ini. Dengan mengonsumsi asupan protein hewani yang cukup, stunting dapat dicegah dengan baik. Salah satu sumber protein hewani yang mengandung gizi adalah ikan. Budidaya ikan dalam ember (Budikdamber) dapat menjadi salah satu solusi bagi keluarga di Indonesia karena metode ini menyediakan pangan keluarga dengan protein hewani yang cukup. Pada penelitian ini metode yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif melalui pendekatan kuantitatif berupa pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Pengumpulan data dengan menggunakan kuesioner relatif cepat dan efisien dikarenakan penyelesaian ditentukan oleh pendapat responden dan ketersediaan waktu. Kuesioner ini disebarkan kepada 74 warga RW 07 Kelurahan Rancaekek untuk mengukur pengetahuan dan minat mereka dalam melakukan kegiatan budidaya ikan dalam ember (Budikdamber). Secara umum, masyarakat dapat mengetahui apa itu Budikdamber, tetapi masih terdapat beberapa orang yang belum mengetahui dan menjawab dengan tepat mengenai Budikdamber. Sebagian besar dari mereka juga telah mengetahui bahwa ikan lele dan kangkung menjadi jenis ikan dan sayuran yang dapat dibudidayakan bersama dengan metode Budikdamber, tetapi hampir seluruh responden belum mengetahui bahwa masih ada jenis ikan dan sayuran lain yang dapat digunakan dalam metode ini. Mayoritas responden menyadari manfaat dari Budikdamber, tetapi banyak dari mereka yang belum berminat untuk melakukan kegiatan Budikdamber di rumah mereka dengan alasan utama ketidaktersediaan waktu yang mereka miliki.

Kisah Trickster, dalam tradisi lisan di seluruh dunia, adalah sebuah cerita yang menampilkan seorang protagonis yang memiliki kekuatan magis dan dicirikan sebagai ringkasan dari hal-hal yang berlawanan. Genre cerita rakyat Trickster muncul dalam beberapa bentuk di setiap budaya, termasuk di Indonesia, khususnya di masyarakat Sunda, lewat sosok Kabayan. Kabayan merupakan sosok yang bisa dititipi pesan, tergantung dari tujuan, motivasi dan misi pengarangnya. Dalam setiap dongengnya, Kabayan tidak pernah lepas dari unsur humor dan beberapa pencipta memasukkan unsur-unsur kritik dalam nuansa humor Kabayan. Hal inilah yang membuat penulis tertarik untuk melakukan kajian mengenai Kabayan sebagai medium kritik. Tujuan dari kajian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan bahwa Kabayan bisa digolongkan sebagai sosok Trickster dan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana sosok Kabayan bisa digunakan sebagai medium kritik. Penulis menggunakan metode kajian literatur dalam kajian ini, dengan menggunakan referensi-referensi yang membahas konsep-konsep mengenai Trickster, Kabayan dan tokoh-tokoh sejenisnya, dan Kabayan sebagai medium kritik. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa Kabayan adalah Trickster berwujud manusia yang tergolong ke dalam “Pahlawan Cerdik”, di mana tokoh Trickster lain yang mendekati sosoknya adalah Juha dan Abu Nawas dari Timur Tengah. Kabayan juga diakui secara global sebagai salah satu sosok Trickster dalam buku Trickster and Hero: Two Characters in the Oral and Written Traditions of the World (2012) karya Harold Scheub. Terkait dengan Kabayan sebagai medium kritik, salah satu contoh yang paling relevan adalah ketika Utuy Tatang Sontani menggunakan sosok Kabayan dalam karya pementasan teaternya yang berjudul Si Kabayan (1959), di mana ia menggunakan Kabayan sebagai medium untuk mengkritisi masyarakat Indonesia yang terlalu bergantung pada hal-hal mistis untuk memecahkan masalah-masalah yang mereka miliki.

Tandem organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs) have attracted widespread attention due to their long lifetime and high current efficiency. In this study, a double-emitting unit tandem OLED is fabricated by using Alq3/HAT-CN as an interconnect layer. Its photovoltaic properties and exciton regulation mechanism are investigated. The results show that the luminance (11189.86 cd/m2) and efficiency (13.85 cd/A) of the tandem OLED reaches 2.7 times that of the single electroluminescent (EL) unit OLED (luminance and efficiency of 4007.14 cd/m2 and 5.00 cd/A, respectively) at a current density of 80 mA/cm2. This proves that the Alq3/HAT-CN is an efficient interconnect layer. At room temperature, the polaron pair undergoes intersystem crossing (ISC) due to hyperfine interaction (HFI) when a magnetic field is applied to the device. This increases the concentration of the triplet excitons (T1), thus promoting the charge scattering. The result is a rapid increase in the low magnetic field and a slow increase in the high magnetic field of the MEL. When the injection current strength is constant, there is less uncompounded charge in the Alq3/HAT-CN device than in other connected layer devices. Triplet-charge annihilation (TQA) is weak, resulting in a relative increase in the value of T1, which is not involved in the TQA. This suppresses the ISC and leads to a minimal increase in the MEL. As the current strength increases, the T1 value increases, causing TQA to increase and ISC to decrease. Since the TQA is related to charge and T1 value, lowering the temperature reduces the carrier mobility in the device, resulting in the relative decreasing of charge concentration and the weakening of TQA. Lowering the temperature reduces the quenching of thermal phonons and increases the T1 value while extending its lifetime, resulting in the enhancement of triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). At low temperatures, the high magnetic field shape of the MEL changes from slowly increasing to rapidly decreasing. Therefore, the T1 value can be regulated by varying the current strength and temperature, which further affects the strength of ISC, TQA and TTA, and the luminescence and efficiency of the device can be effectively improved by reducing TQA and ISC. This work is of great significance in understanding the luminescence mechanism of small molecule tandem devices and studying the mechanism for improving their photovoltaic properties.

Accumulation of tungsten (W) in core is a serious challenge for achieving high-performance plasmas in future tokamak reactors, thus W impurity transport is a highly concerned topic in the tokamak physics researches. Multi-fluid model and kinetic model are the numerical tools widely used for investigating and/or predicting impurity behaviors in the boundary of tokamak plasma. Generally, the applicability of multi-fluid model for impurity transport modeling requires that the collision mean-free-path should be smaller than the gradient scale lengths of particles, which may not be always satisfied. It is performed and comparatively investigated to evaluate the applicability of multi-fluid model for W impurity transport modeling, multi-fluid (SOLPS-ITER) modeling and kinetic (DIVIMP) modeling of W impurity transport in the edge of high-confinement plasma in Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) during neon impurity seeding. It is found that low-charge-state W ions are mainly located in the divertor region near the target plate where plasma collisionality is relatively high due to the relatively low/high local plasma temperature/density. Hence, the fluid assumption for transport of lowly-charged W ions can be well satisfied. Consequently, the density of lowly-charged W ions predicted by SOLPS-ITER and that calculated by DIVIMP are almost similar. Owing to the fact that the density of highly-charged W ions is relatively low and these particles mainly exist in the upstream (e.g. the main SOL and core) where plasma collisionality is relatively low, the fluid approximation cannot be well satisfied. However, the total W impurity density calculated by the kinetic code DIVIMP and the multi-fluid model SOLPS-ITER are found to be in agreement with each other within a factor of 1.5 for the simulation cases presented in this contribution. Besides, the multi-fluid simulation with bundled charge state model has also been performed, the obtained results are compared with those from the multi-fluid modeling with W ions treated as 74 fluids. It is revealed that in simulation cases with neon impurity seeding and with divertor plasmas in high-recycling or partially detached regimes, the bundling scheme, which is commonly used for saving the computation cost in multi-fluid modeling, tends to overestimate the average charge state of W ions and thus tends to underestimate the radiation power loss, especially in the divertor region. Consequently, under the circumstance that W impurity radiation dominates the radiative power loss in divertor region, plasma temperature/density can be largely overestimated/underestimated, leading to the underestimation of W ion ionization source and W impurity density. Moreover, simulation results demonstrate that W accumulation in core can decrease effectively during divertor detachment promoted by neon seeding.
