Authors: Hua Kevin , Cummings Mike , Brinkhaus Benno , Usichenko Taras , Dietzel Joanna
Published: March 2021

Background: The number of randomized controlled trials using auricular stimulation (AS) such as transauricular vagus nerve stimulation, or auricular electrostimulation or auricular acupuncture or acupressure, in experimental and clinical settings has increased markedly over the last three decades. Various clinical scores and self-reported outcomes are used as primary outcome measures to evaluate the effects of AS; they have been already analysed in an array of systematic reviews. But regarding the effect of AS on objective, physiological measures (biomarkers), for example blood values, heart rate, electrophysiological measurements and brain imaging, a systematic analysis is missing. This systematic review protocol was developed following the PRISMA guidelines to explore and evaluate for the first time the existing literature examining the impact of AS on biomarkers in randomized controlled trials as reported in their primary or secondary outcomes. Methods and analysis: The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), ISI Web of Science, and Scopus Database. RCTs will be included if an abstract is available in English. Data collection and analysis will be conducted by two reviewers independently. Quality and risk assessment of included studies will be done using the Cochrane 6.1.0 handbook criteria and RoB 2 tool and meta-analysis of the effect of the most frequently assessed biomarkers will be conducted using the statistical software RevMan V.5.3.Ethics and dissemination: This systematic review will evaluate the effect of AS and related techniques on various blood values and physiological measures. Since all data used in this systematic review and meta-analysis will have been published, this review does not require an ethical approval. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal as well as presented in relevant conferences.Registration number: PROSPERO CRD42021231885
Pain-Track: a time-series approach for the description and analysis of the burden of pain
Authors: Alonso Wladimir J , Schuck-Paim Cynthia
Published: March 2021

Objective

to present the Pain-Track, a novel framework for the description and analysis of the pain experience based on its temporal evolution, around which intensity and other attributes of pain (texture, anatomy), interventions and clinical symptoms can be registered. This time-series approach can provide valuable insight on the expected evolution of the pain typically associated with different medical conditions and on time-varying (risk) factors associated with the temporal dynamics of pain.
Results

We illustrate the use of the framework to explore hypotheses on the temporal profile of the pain associated with an acute injury (bone fracture), and the magnitude of the pain burden it represents. We also show that, by focusing on the critical dimensions of the pain experience (intensity and time), the approach can help map different conditions to a common scale directly relating to the experiences of those who endure them (time in pain), providing the basis for the quantification of the burden of pain inflicted upon individuals or populations. An electronic version for data entry and interpretation is also presented.

Published: March 2021

This retrospective case control study was executed to compare the efficacy of short and long acting Gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) on pregnancy outcome. A total of 540 cycles with a history of male factor were identified from 2013 to 2016. The patients were separated into two groups: long acting protocol (LAP) group consisting of 310 cycles which were induced by a combination of GnRH-a incorporated with Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and Human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG), while short acting protocol (SAP) group or flare up regimen comprises of 230 cycles introduced by a combination of GnRH-a along with FSH and hMG. Patients are divided into subsequent age groups ≤ 30, 31–35, 36–40 and > 40 years. In comparison with the SAP group, the duration of ovarian stimulation, calculated dose of GnRH-a, number of retrieved mature oocytes, good quality embryos for implantation and persistent pregnancies were all significantly found to be high (p < 0.05) in the LAP group as compared to the SAP group. The clinical pregnancy rates were comparatively high in the LAP group (33.12%; P = 0.001) than in the SAP group (28.23%). The findings of our study revealed that irrespective of patient’s age, the long acting protocol was more reliable and fertile with reference to number of mature oocytes retrieved, time period for stimulation, total dose of GnRH-a during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, high quality embryos, fertilization and cleavage rate as well as pregnancy outcome.
Investigation of Anti-Coronavirus, Anti-HCV, Nucleotide Inhibitors, and Bioactive Molecules efficacy Against RNA-directed RNA polymerase of Nipah Virus: Molecular Docking Study
Authors: Habib Peter T.
Published: March 2021

The infections with the Nipah virus (NiV) are highly infectious and may lead to severe febrile encephalitis. High rates of mortality in southeastern Asia including Bengal, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Madagascar, the Philippines, Thailand, and India have been reported in NiV outbreaks. Considering the high risk of an epidemic, NiV was declared a priority pathogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, for the treatment of this infection, there is no effective therapy or approved FDA medicines. RNA-dependent polymerase RNA (RdRp) plays an important role in viral replication among the nine well-known proteins of NiV. Therefore, fourteen antiviral molecules have been computerized for NiV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and demonstrated a potential inhibition effect against coronavirus (NiV-RdRp). A multi-step molecular docking process, followed by extensive analyzes of molecular binding interactions, binding energy estimates, synthetic accessibility assessments, and toxicity tests. Analysis reveals that Uprifosbuvir is the most suitable inhibitor for RdRp of Nipah Virus regarding the binding affinity and binding in the target cavity. Although, such studies need clinical confirmation.

Authors: Poljo Adisa , Pentsch Andreas , Raab Sandra , Klugsberger Bettina , Shamiyeh Andreas
Published: March 2021

Background: Dumping syndrome (DS) is an important but often missed problem occurring after bariatric surgery. It is believed that gastric bypass procedures like Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) are more likely to cause DS than the pylorus-preserving Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG). The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of DS in patients undergoing SG, RYGB and OAGB. Methods: A retrospective clinical study with additional phone interviews of 180 morbidly obese patients (130 females; 72.2%) undergoing SG (n=50), RYGB (n=53) and OAGB (n=77) in our clinic during 2016 - 2018 was performed. Clinical and demographic data were assessed. The incidence of dumping syndrome was evaluated using validated Sigstad Score. Results: Information about the occurrence of dumping symptoms and patient satisfaction was obtained from 127 patients; 53 could not be reached by phone. Median follow-up was 20.0 ± 11.4 months. Significant differences between the surgical procedures were found for the duration of surgery, complications, incidence of DS and satisfaction postoperatively. DS occurred in 15.6% after SG, in 56.4% after RYGB and in 42.9% after OAGB. While SG showed the shortest operative time with 66.5 ± 25.3 minutes and highest patient satisfaction, the lowest complication rate was observed after OAGB with 5.2%. The RYGB group reported the longest duration of surgery with 121.0 ± 28.9 minutes, most complications (17.0%), and lowest patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The present results showed a clear superiority of SG regarding both perioperative results and incidence of DS compared to RYGB and OAGB and may impact clinicians and patients in their choice of procedure.

Für das vom Eidgenössischen Parlament am 25. September 2020 beschlossene Gesetz zur präventiven Terrorismusbekämpfungfehlt dem Bund die verfassungsmässige Kompetenz. Keine der vom Bund angeführten Begründungen seiner Zuständigkeit halten einer Prüfung stand. Der Erlass polizeigesetzlicher Bestimmungen zur Verhütung von Straftaten durch operationelle Realakte als Eingriffe in die Bewegungsfreiheit liegt in der Verantwortung der Kantone. Dies gilt auch im Bereich der präventiven Terrorismusbekämpfung als Teil des Staatsschutzes. Dieser an sich unbefriedigende Rechtszustand lässt sich nur durch eine Änderung der Bundesverfassung beheben. In einem folgenden Beitrag werden die polizeilichen Massnahmen zur Bekämpfung von Terrorismus (PMT) in Bezug auf ihre Verfassungs- und EMRK-Konformität sowie ihre Wirksamkeit beurteilt.
A latent class analysis on the usage of mobile phones among management students
Authors: Kumar Sunil , Dabgotra Apurba Vishal
Published: March 2021

In the past few years, wireless devices, including pocket PCs, pagers, mobile phones, etc, have gained popularity among a variety of users across the world and the use of mobile phones in particular, has increased significantly in many parts of the world, especially in India. Cell phones are now the most popular form of electronic communication and constitute an integral part of adolescents’ daily lives, as is the case for the majority of mobile phone users. In fact, mobile phones have turned from a technological tool to a social tool. Therefore, the influence of cell phones on young people needs to be thoroughly examined. In this paper, we explore the attitude of young adults towards cell phones and identify the hidden classes of respondents according to the patterns of mobile phone use. The Latent Class Analysis (LCA) serves as a tool to detect any peculiarities, including those gender-based. LCA measures the value of an unknown latent variable on the basis of the respondents’ answers to various indicator variables; for this reason, a proper selection of indicators is of great importance here. In this work, we propose a method of selecting the most useful variables for an LCA-based detection of group structures from within the examined data. We apply a greedy search algorithm, where during each phase the models are compared through an approximation to their Bayes factor. The method is applied in the process of selecting variables related to mobile phone usage which are most useful for the clustering of respondents into different classes. The findings demonstrate that young people display various feelings and attitudes toward cell phone usage.
Testing for a serial correlation in VaR failures through the exponential autoregressive conditional duration model
Authors: Małecka Marta
Published: March 2021

Although regulatory standards, currently developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, anticipate a shift from VaR to ES, the evaluation of risk models currently remains based on the VaR measure. Motivated by the Basel regulations, we address the issue of VaR backtesting and contribute to the debate by exploring statistical properties of the exponential autoregressive conditional duration (EACD) VaR test. We show that, under the null, the tested parameter lies at the boundary of the parameter space, which can profoundly affect the accuracy of this test. To compensate for this deficiency, a mixture of chi-square distributions is applied. The resulting accuracy improvement allows for the omission of the Monte Carlo simulations used to implement the EACD VaR test in earlier studies, which dramatically improves the computational efficiency of the procedure. We demonstrate that the EACD approach to testing VaR has the potential to enhance statistical inference in most problematic cases – for small samples and for those close to the null.
The Relevance of Financial Statements in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 Era
Authors: Chandra Haryani , Wijaya Chandra Ferdinand
Published: March 2021

The emergence of Industrial Revolution 4.0 has a significant impact on the business processes. It is also expected to change the characteristics of the needed accounting information. The close ties between accounting and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 encourages researchers to conduct research regarding the correlation between the two fields. The research aimed to discuss the characteristics of companies in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era and identify whether a mismatch occurred between the information in the financial statements and the changes in the characteristics of companies in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. It was a narrative literature review using secondary data from various sources. Data collection was made through library research. Then, the data were analyzed using content analysis. The results show that more and more digital-based companies emerge and develop with a remarkably high company value even without having any underlying asset. On the other hand, several studies indicate that assets as an element of financial statements are necessary for determining the company value for allocating economic resources effectively. However, some studies explain that companies with high assets have a high company value. It shows a gap that makes the relevance of financial statements in determining the company value in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era questionable. This matter has implications for stakeholders to use financial statements for decision-making in Industrial Revolution 4.0 era and future research.

Authors: AYDİN Ayşe , ERİM Ahsen
Published: March 2021

Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare working memory performance between children with and without stuttering. The second aim of the study is to examine the relationship between stuttering frequency and working memory performance in CWS.Method: The study sample included 20 children with stuttering and 20 children without stuttering and any other concominant speech and language disorders. The participants were matched for age and gender. Working Memory Scale was used for the assessment of working memory. Data from CWS and CWNS were compared with independent samples t-test or Mann-Whitney U test based on normality analyses. The relation between the variables in CWS was examined with Pearson correlation analysis. Also, the percentage of stuttered syllables in a speech sample was calculated in children with stuttering.Results: There was not a significant difference in verbal and visual memory subtests scores between the children with and without stuttering. However, the verbal memory subtest scores were lower in the children with stuttering.Discussion: Despite the insignificant results, the study attracts attention to deficits in phonological memory and phonological coding in children with stuttering. In addition, although there was not a significant difference in the visual memory subtests, the children who stutter displayed higher performance in the visual memory subtests. This could be considered as a compensatory mechanism.Conclusion, Limitations and Suggestions: It can be suggested that further longitudinal studies having larger samples including different age groups, using different behavioral measurement tools and brain imaging techniques may shed light on the issue.
Van Genesis tot Dierenrechten: denken over dieren doorheen de westerse geschiedenis
Authors: De Ruyver C.
Published: March 2021

Van de veertiende tot midden negentiende eeuw vonden twee belangrijke verschuivingen plaats in het denken over dieren. Enerzijds werd het theologisch antropocentrisch denken stap voor stap door wetenschappelijke inzichten verlaten en werd de mens onttroond. Met de ontwikkeling van de evolutieleer vond anderzijds een belangrijke paradigmaverschuiving plaats: de verwantschap van de mens met andere dieren werd duidelijk. Van toen af aan nam de zoektocht naar gelijkenissen een dominante positie in. Meer en meer waarde werd gehecht aan de gevoelens van dieren en dierenrechten werden naar voren gebracht.

Authors: De Swert J. , Van Goethem B.
Published: March 2021

A five-year-old Labrador retriever was referred for progressively worsening inspiratory stridorand accompanying dyspnea. Oropharyngeal inspection identified a mass in the soft palate as the cause for upper airway obstruction. Fine-needle aspiration of the mass evacuated mucohemorrhagic fluid and revealed multiple sialoliths. The sialocele was surgically explored, all sialoliths were removed, the lining of the sialocele was resected, and the remaining defect in the palate was reconstructed and closed. Histology of submitted tissues confirmed it to be a sialocele and the sialoliths consisted of protein and carbonate apatite. The dog made an unremarkable recovery and was discharged on the same day. No recurrence occurred and the dog was free of any respiratory symptoms six months post treatment.
Effect van immunocastratietijdstip op groeiprestaties, karkas- en vleeskwaliteit van varkens
Authors: Kowalski E. , Aluwé M. , De Smet S. , De Smet S.
Published: March 2021

Immunocastraten worden minstens vier weken vóór de slacht gevaccineerd om berengeur effectief te reduceren en de vleeskwaliteit te verbeteren ten opzichte van intacte beren. Uit een onderzoek van ILVO en UGent (LANUPRO) blijkt dat het toepassen van de tweede injectie (op acht of zes weken vóór de slacht) echter niet helpt om de vleeskwaliteit verder te verbeteren. Het blijkt zelfs economisch minder voordelig te zijn voor de varkenshouder aangezien de vroeg-gevaccineerde immunocastraten een hogere voederconversie en lagere slachtkwaliteit hebben.

The interception of Ditylenchus dipsaci, D. destructor, and Aphelenchoides fragariae, which are classified as quarantine pests, has been reported to occur on imported garlic bulbs used for consumption at several traditional markets in Bogor. This finding should increase awareness of the chance of garlic contamination in Indonesia’s garlic fields. This study aimed to evaluate the nematode community and determine polyphasic characters of Aphelenchoides species from garlic plantations. The study was conducted by sampling soil and plants from garlic plantations in Tuwel and Rembul Villages, Bojong District, Tegal Regency, Central Java in December 2018. Nematode extraction was done using a mist chamber for plant materials and sugar flotation – centrifugation methods for soil samples. Parameters measured included nematode species identity, absolute population and prominence indexes. Nematode identification was conducted based on their morphological characters. Further identification based on morphometric and molecular characters (polyphasic) conducted for nematodes species suspected as quarantine pests. Six generas of nematodes identified were Helicotylenchus, Aphelenchoides, Rotylenchulus, Aphelenchus, Criconemoides, and Tylenchus. Aphelenchoides sp. had the highest prominence value from plant tissue with a value of 6.32 and is categorized as a quarantine pest genus (A. fragariae) in garlic and was further identified to the species level. Further identification based on polyphasic characters showed the Aphelenchoides sp. found was A. varicaudatus.

Published: March 2021

Downy mildew disease control is a big challenge in Indonesia due to ability of pathogen adaptation and favorable environmental condition to the disease. Self-resistance induction by activating plant defense mechanism is a valuable control method to be developed in the future due to its environmentally safety. This study aimed to determine potency of non-fungicide chemicals to suppress downy mildew of maize. The tested chemicals were benzoic acid, sodium benzoic acid, salicylic acid, thiamine, saccharin, and aspirin with a concentration of 2000 ppm. Disease incidence, disease severity, disease progress, leaf tissue lignification, plant growth, chlorophyll content, and plant dry weight were observed to find out the effect of the chemicals application in maize against downy mildew. Results showed that seed application of benzoic acid was able to reduce disease incidence and disease severity by 80%. Benzoic acid treated plants were categorized as moderately resistant until 5-week observation, while inoculated plants (positive control) were susceptible. Based on AUDPC values, plants induced by the chemicals had slower disease development rates compared to positive control. Lignification around the stomata occured in all inoculated plants treated by chemicals. Plant growth between chemical treated plants and negative control (non-inoculated plant) mainly showed no significant different, elaborated that those chemicals were applicable. Chlorophyll content in chemical treated plants was also similar to those of negative control plant. Based on these results, benzoic acid was promoted to be further investigated as maize resistance inducer against downy mildew.

Colletotrichum sp., the causal agent of anthracnose disease, is one of the important pathogenic fungi in chili which can cause considerable yield losses, especially during the rainy season. This study aimed to identify the species of Colletotrichum isolates obtained from chili cultivation area in The Special Region of Yogyakarta Province both morphologically and molecularly. As a comparison, a Colletotrichum isolate obtained from Magelang Regency, Central Java Province was used as comparison isolate. From the isolation result, it was obtained 14 isolates of Colletotrichum that generally had conidia that were fusiform to cylindrical with two pointed or slightly blunt ends, or crescent shapes with a various size range between 9.02-19.38 µm x 2.37–8.57 µm. Based on morphological observations using UPGMA analysis, these 14 isolates could be divided into 4 groups with 7 different types. Representative isolates of each type in different groups and a comparison isolate were identified molecularly by multi-gene analysis using the ITS1-4, gapdh and tub2 genes. The result showed that B1, G1, K2 and Mg isolates were closely related to Colletotrichum scovillei, J1 with C. truncatum; S1 and S2 with C. siamense; and J2 with C. makassarii. From the pathogenicity test on wounded chili, it showed that C. scovillei and C. siamense isolates had higher virulence than C. truncatum and C. makassarii isolates.

Regulation of Land Lease Rights Period for Foreign Citizens in Indonesia
Authors: Putu Rosa Paramitha Dewi  , I Nyoman Budiana
Published: March 2021

Many foreigners have come and lived in Indonesia. This results in the increasing need for land and buildings for foreigners to be used as a residence. Foreigners are not allowed to have ownership rights over land in Indonesia, however, in this case, the law provides rights for foreigners to own land in Indonesia, but limited to Right of Use and Leaseholds for Buildings. This absence of UUPA has the potential to lead to smuggling of laws, because the lease period granted to foreign citizens is not limited so that foreign citizens can stay in Indonesia for a very long. If the land is fully controlled by foreign citizens or for a long period of time, it is feared that the people's welfare will decrease in the management of the land. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the legal of land right for foreign citizens in Indonesia and the regulation of the period of land lease right for foreign citizens in Indonesia. The type of research used is a normative juridical research through a statutory approach, a case approach, and a conceptual approach. A foreign legal entity wishing to have Building Use Rights (HGB) must fulfill two elements, namely that it is established according to Indonesian law and domiciled in Indonesia, must exist. Besides that, regulation for the period of land lease rights for foreigners have not been regulated in land-related regulations in Indonesia so that there is a vacuum of norms.

ABSTRAK

Agenda penanggulangan HIV/AIDS menjadi salah satu masalah yang paling tidak terselesaikan di dunia. Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa memberikan perhatian khusus terhadap program tersebut dan memasukkannya sebagai salah satu agenda Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDGs). Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara anggota Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa mengeluarkan SK No.451/MENKES/SK/XII/2012 untuk penanggulangan HIV/AIDS dan menunjuk lebih dari 358 rumah sakit untuk memberikan layanan HIV/AIDS. Namun ketiadaan fasilitas dan pelayanan kesehatan muncul seiring dengan semakin meningkatnya kasus baru. Di sisi lain petugas kesehatan merasa telah memberikan pelayanan yang berkualitas. Padahal untuk mengukur kualitas suatu pelayanan tidak mudah, harus menggunakan metode pengukuran tertentu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas layanan HIV/AIDS dengan metode servqual dan analisis pentingnya pekerjaan atau Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). Kombinasi metode campuran dengan desain penjelas berurutan memperkuat kedua metode tersebut. Pengambilan sampel secara acak sederhana untuk menemukan 100 sampel kasus HIV/AIDS untuk desain kuantitatif dan wawancara mendalam juga digunakan untuk menggali informasi lebih lanjut di antara petugas yang merawat pasien di rumah sakit tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan secara keseluruhan pelayanan rawat jalan HIV/AIDS RSU Kabupaten Tangerang sudah mencapai standar pelayanan minimal Rumah Sakit. Namun masih terdapat selisih sebesar -7,97 yang menunjukkan pasien tidak puas. RSU Kabupaten Tangerang perlu melakukan berbagai perbaikan atas kualitas pelayanan yang diberikan. Prioritas utama pembenahan adalah pada dimensi tangible berupa fasilitas penunjang ruang tunggu, ruangan di dalam poliklinik, toilet, areal parkir, dan stok obat. Kemudian disusul dimensi kehandalan, karena minimnya jumlah petugas yang berdampak pada ketanggapan pelayanan dan keterlambatan jam buka klinik.

Authors: Satria Habib
Published: March 2021

The accelerated development of the technological world cannot be separated from the materials of electronic components. Vocational schools are the most dominant schools in discussing electronics, but there are still many students who have abilities below the graduation standards that have been set in the subject of electronics basics. One of the causes of low learning outcomes is due to the lack of involvement of students in the learning process. Therefore it is necessary to think pair share method to spur student activeness and creativity during learning. The technique in doing this method is by students thinking, discussing and sharing material concepts directly with their classmates controlled by the teacher in material supervision. In addition, by using this method students are able to solve problems during the learning process well. This type of research is a Quasi Experiment with Posttest Only Control Design. The subjects of this study were students of class X SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman which consisted of two classes, namely X TITL-1 and X TITL-2. From these two classes were selected randomly where class X TITIL-1 was the experimental class and class X TITL-2 was the control class. To see students' initial abilities, an analysis of the posttest was carried out in the subject of Understanding the Basics of Electronics. Collecting data in this study using a learning outcome test (posttest) in the form of objective questions of 25 items. The data were analyzed using the two-mean difference test (t-test). Based on the results of the study, the posttest mean percentage of the experimental class was 77.14% and the control class was 55.14%. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant increase in student learning outcomes with a comparison of the think pair share method which is better than the conventional method.

Improving Hierarchical Condition Category Coding by Family Medicine Residents Using a Web-Based, Interactive Module
Authors: Zeltzer Stuart , Vanderhoof Monique , Garvey Brian
Published: March 2021

Background and Objectives: The proper documentation of Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) codes is essential for risk-adjusted reimbursement, chart accuracy, and clinical communication within primary care, but represents a significant training gap in resident education. Our goal was to improve the understanding and confidence level of family medicine residents with HCC coding during outpatient primary care visits.
Methods: We developed and distributed a web-based, interactive module to family medicine residents at our academic institution. We assessed module impact through pre- and postsurveys focusing on knowledge, confidence, and experience with HCC coding.
Results: Twenty-eight of 48 preeducation surveys were returned (response rate of 58%), including 16 junior (PGY-1-2) and 12 senior (PGY-3-4) residents. A majority of residents answered each HCC knowledge question correctly. Median baseline confidence with HCC coding for all respondents was 4 (interquartile range [IQR]: 2, 6; scale 0-10; 10=most confident): senior residents 6 (IQR: 5, 7) versus junior residents 2 (IQR: 2, 4). Forty-six percent of respondents noted some previous education on HCC codes, including 75% of senior vs 25% of junior residents. Twenty-six residents completed the educational module. Posttest surveys (n=5, response rate: 19%) demonstrated median confidence of 7 (IQR: 4, 8.5).
Conclusions: Family medicine residents displayed a high degree of knowledge but low confidence with HCC coding. Posteducation surveys suggest the possibility of a positive impact of our e-module, though further intervention roll out and data collection are needed to evaluate this effect.

Published: March 2021

Background and Objectives: Multilevel factors drive health disparities experienced by sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations. We developed a 3-hour symposium focusing on care for SGM youth to address this. The symposium was a free, extracurricular event open to the public, with an emphasis on health professional students and providers from all disciplines and involved interprofessional didactic and interactive components.
Methods: Participants completed optional retrospective pre/postsurveys immediately and 10 months postsymposium. Surveys contained Likert-scale questions addressing five indicators of symposium effectiveness related to knowledge, confidence, and comfort in providing care for SGM populations. We used 1-tailed paired t tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the symposium, and analysis of variance tests to compare differences by professional role.
Results: Of 208 individuals who attended the symposium, 67 completed the initial survey, and 23 completed the 10-months postsymposium survey. Participants reported significantly higher (P<.001) scores across all five measures of effectiveness from pre- to immediately postsymposium, and remained at significantly higher (P<.05) scores across all measures from presymposium to 10 months postsymposium, except for comfort recommending care for SGM pediatric patients or clients.
Conclusion: Results suggest that the symposium improved participants’ perceived effectiveness in serving SGM pediatric patients, although selection bias is a concern. Dissemination of educational approaches that incorporate interprofessional didactic and active learning components may help improve workforce capacity to improve SGM health.

Published: March 2021

In this study we adapted WRF-Hydro to the Cape Fear River basin (CFRB)
to assess its performance during Hurricane Florence (2018). The model
was first calibrated with a strategy of mixture of automatic and manual
calibration during Florence and then evaluated with an independent
hurricane event. With satisfactory NSE values (>0.4)
achieved at all gages for hourly simulation, the model demonstrates its
potential in simulating the flood response at both basin and sub-basin
scale during hurricane events. The model’s capability in reproducing
rainfall and properly translating it to hydrological response was
further evaluated. The analysis suggests that the calibrated WRF-Hydro
in combination with a series of WRF simulation using different
microphysics schemes can provide reasonable flood simulations. The model
reproduced peak streamflow observed at gage stations with acceptable
errors in timing and amplitude. Meanwhile, positive(negative) bias in
rainfall input is likely to be amplified (reduced) in streamflow
forecast when simulated rainfall volume is larger than the “model
true”. And the timing bias mostly inherited from rainfall simulation
and calibration process.
Technology Trust: System Information Impact on Autonomous Systems Adoption in High-Risk Applications
Authors: Anderson Michael , Mun Johnathan
Published: March 2021

As autonomous systems become more capable, end users must make decisions about how and when to deploy such technology. The use and adoption of a technology to replace a human actor depends on its ability to perform a desired task and on the user’s experience-based trust that it will do so. The development of experience-based trust in autonomous systems is costly, and it carries a high-risk of physical harm to operators. This work focuses on identifying a methodology for technology discovery that reduces the need for experience-based trust and contributes to increased adoption of autonomous systems. The main research hypothesis is that manipulating the presentation of technical information can influence the initial formation of trust by functioning as a surrogate for experience-based trust, and that trust in technology can be captured through an anthropomorphic hierarchy of system attributes.
