Published: December 2021

Apesar de o açafrão da terra Curcuma longa L. já ser reconhecido por suas propriedades nutracêuticas, pouco tem se pesquisado sobre seu manejo produtivo. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a cultura do açafrão da terra manejado com fontes e doses de adubação. Para a implantação do experimento, relacionado com a delimitação do plantio dos rizomas, a área foi delineada em Delineamento de Blocos ao Acaso em esquema de parcelas subdivididas (4 x 5), sendo que, na parcela principal, foram alocadas como fontes de adubação o adubo mineral de base industrial, organomineral, esterco de bovinos e cama de aves e nas subparcelas, com 0%, 50%, 100%, 150% e 200% da dose recomendada, de acordo com o laudo da análise de solo, com três repetições. Observou-se que para se obter maiores produtividades, o cultivo deve ser realizado com a dose recomendada para uma produção de 20 toneladas de massa verde de rizomas por hectare, conforme a análise de solo independente da fonte de adubação utilizada.
Energia de fontes renováveis na matriz energética brasileira: uma revisão sobre o panorama atual e perspectivas futuras
Authors: Teixeira Rachel Leser Burock Chamarelli , Silva Wanderson Amaral da
Published: December 2021

As crises energética e ambiental impulsionaram a busca por fontes renováveis de energia ao redor do mundo nos últimos anos. No entanto, a matriz energética mundial permanece com alta concentração de combustíveis fósseis, que são poluentes e possui preços sujeitos a instabilidades. Sendo assim, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, este trabalho consiste em discutir aspectos econômicos e socioambientais sobre o panorama atual e perspectivas das fontes renováveis de energia na matriz energética brasileira. Neste artigo serão tratadas as fontes de energia: solar e eólica, que têm crescido em uma taxa acelerada mundialmente e no Brasil a situação é semelhante; a hidráulica que é muito relevante no contexto nacional, porém nem todos os países dispõem deste recurso; a biomassa, que tem como principais características o aproveitamento de subprodutos e a geração de combustíveis para veículos; e a marítima que possui um grande potencial devido ao extenso litoral nacional. As fontes de energia que terão maior crescimento de implantação a nível nacional serão a térmica que, apesar de ser não renovável, complementa a matriz energética e fornece maior garantia em momentos de pico de uso de energia, a eólica e solar por serem fontes mais limpas e possuírem bom custo-benefício. A hidráulica e biomassa terão seu crescimento menor nos próximos anos, mas já possuem alta participação na matriz energética. Já com relação à energia marítima, existem diversos projetos em estudo devido à extensa área costeira nacional que pode ser explorada. Portanto, o Brasil possui grande capacidade de geração de energia através de todas as fontes citadas e se consolidar como um dos países com matriz energética predominantemente limpa.
Black holes, quantum chaos, and the Riemann hypothesis
Authors: Betzios Panagiotis , Gaddam Nava , Papadoulaki Olga
Published: December 2021

Quantum gravity is expected to gauge all global symmetries of effective theories, in the ultraviolet. Inspired by this expectation, we explore the consequences of gauging CPT as a quantum boundary condition in phase space. We find that it provides for a natural semiclassical regularisation and discretisation of the continuous spectrum of a quantum Hamiltonian related to the Dilation operator. We observe that the said spectrum is in correspondence with the zeros of the Riemann zeta and Dirichlet beta functions. Following ideas of Berry and Keating, this may help the pursuit of the Riemann hypothesis. It strengthens the proposal that this quantum Hamiltonian captures the near horizon dynamics of the scattering matrix of the Schwarzschild black hole, given the rich chaotic spectrum upon discretisation. It also explains why the spectrum appears to be erratic despite the unitarity of the scattering matrix.

Background: Non typhoidal Salmonellosis are widely prevalent in developed as well as developing countries caused mostly by S.typhimurium and S enteritidis. Transmission of NTS to humans can occur by many routes including consumption of food of animal products mainly egg, poultry, undercooked ground meat and dairy products. Gastroenteritis is the most frequent manifestation, while less frequently may lead to complication like Bacteremia and Septicemia. Case summary: This is a case report of a 69 years old male admitted in Medical Gastro Enterology department with complaints of loose stools about 15-20 episodes per day with blood in some episodes and associated with diffuse abdominal pain. Culture of the stool sample detected Salmonella typhimurium which was sensitive to Cotrimoxazole & Azithromycin and resistant to Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin & Ceftriaxone by disc diffusion method. Genotyping was done by PCR and this showed the presence of CTX-M and TEM genes. Conclusion: Non Typhoidal Salmonellae though causes self-limiting Gastroenteritis but in immunosuppressed individual it leads to focal infections & life-threatening bacteremia. The isolate from stool showed high level resistance and this could be due to increased usage of antibiotics in poultry and transfer of plasmids carrying resistance genes among enteric bacteria.

Study of the relationship between mental disorder and violent behavior is critical both from a public health perspective and for the proper planning and development of mental health services.However, the complex contribution of clinical, historical and environmental risk factors for violence in persons with schizophrenia remains unclear. The aim of the study was to identify clinical and social risk factors for violence in patients with schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) using a case-control design. Cases were defined as patients with SSD who had committed at least one act of offence in the past (94 patients wereenrolled from forensic psychiatricward). Controls were genderand age matched patients with SSD who had never committed violent acts (106 patients from general psychiatric services).A standard set of instruments was used to assess patients exposure to a variety of risk factors. Data were collected through patient interviews and medical records.Study results showed, that increased risk of violence was associated with severity of positive psychotic symptoms, diagnosis of delusional disorder, irregular or no contacts with mental health services. Significant risk factors for serious violent acts were associated with comorbid alcohol misuse, impulsivity,persecutory delusions,decreased emotional responseand unsatisfactory living environment. Study confirmed that the interaction of social andclinicalfactorswith treatment related factors played an important role as determinants of violence. These factors should be the focus of treatment and management of patients with SSD to prevent violent behavior.
Closure of Central Public Sector Enterprises in India: a case study
Authors: Katoch Rajan
Published: December 2021

Changing objective circumstances over time often warrant the closure of public sector enterprises that may have originally been established due to compelling public purposes. Many public enterprises lose their relevance and public purpose, become chronically loss making and are a recurring drain on public resources. Yet it has been found to be extremely difficult to actually close down any such enterprise due to a host of institutional constraints unique to the public sector. Closing down a public enterprise is difficult but not impossible, given the will and sincere execution. It has been done in India. While the practicalities have to be worked out, closure of any entity needs to be implemented sensitively given the human dimensions involved. This paper brings out a case study of the experience in implementing the closure of five public sector enterprises in India during the period 2014-16.
Decentralisation of Public Enterprises in federal countries
Authors: Bou Victoria C M P
Published: December 2021

To bring concepts and knowledge to bear more effectively on policy analysis and programme design, a framework for analysis is needed that focuses on alternatives for organising and financing the State Owned Enterprises (SOEs). Whether the motivating force behind organisation of SOEs is political or economic, a developing country situation demands that the strategy be looked at from the perspective of the provision of the people’s needs. The paper looks at the forms of SOEs and the relevance of fiscal federalism in this context. Past experience has some lessons and a flawed policy can have unwelcome consequences. Keeping in view the different initial conditions, strategies need to be devised for organisation of SOEs.
REFORMA EDUCACIONAL NO SISTEMA ESTADUAL DE ENSINO: DO ENFRAQUECIMENTO DOS PRINCÍPIOS DEMOCRÁTICOS ÀS CONTRADIÇÕES NA GESTÃO DOS PROCESSOS EDUCATIVOS NA ESCOLA PÚBLICA EM GOIÁS
Authors: Silva Luís Gustavo Alexandre , Teixeira Ricardo Antônio Gonçalves
Published: December 2021

O artigo analisa os efeitos do processo de reforma educacional no trabalho do diretor e na gestão da escola pública pertencente ao sistema estadual de ensino de Goiás. A pesquisa utiliza como metodologia a análise de documentos oficiais, a revisão de literatura e os dados de questionário aplicado aos diretores escolares. Os resultados demonstram que a política de bônus e os procedimentos avaliativos interferem na gestão e no trabalho do diretor, mas ainda não se constituem como as principais referências responsáveis pelas decisões em substituição a práticas de gestão democrática.

Authors: Ebrahimi Eisa , Asadi Hossein , Joudi Mehrnosh , Rashti Mehran Rezaei , Farhangi Mohammad Bagher , Ashrafzadeh Afshin , Khodadadi Maral
Published: December 2021

Phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and organic component are released from the soil into surface bodies by runoff and erosion, causing the pollution and eutrophication of water resources. This study aimed to investigate the seasonal changes in loads of N and P components, and organic matter (OM) in the Pasikhan River in flood and normal conditions. Sampling was performed monthly during normal flow conditions and for five flood events. The concentrations of P and N components were measured in the samples. The OM of the suspended sediments was determined by the combustion method. Under the normal flows, the maximum loads of total P and OM were about 0.553 mg l−1 (STD = 0.11) (November) and 3.41% (STD = 1.17) (November) in the autumn, respectively. The total N concentration of 0.533 mg l−1 (STD = 0.12) was observed in the winter. In the flood events, the TP, TN and OM ranged from 0.48 to 3.5 mg l−1, 0.28 to 0.79 mg l−1 and 1.24 to 4.11%, respectively. The results indicated a high risk of eutrophication in the Pasikhan River. Also, the study revealed that in a severe flood event, some 113.9 tons h−1 of OM can be released from the river watershed. Furthermore, there was a high correlation between the amount of P and OM losses with the concentration of suspended sediments in different flood events. Finally, it is concluded that if the floods are not controlled, they not only cause a rapid loss of soil nutrients and OM but also lead to severe eutrophication in the Anzali wetland.

Published: December 2021

The article describes Gustav III’s attempts to save the French monarchy, the then political situation in Europe, and the attitude of individual European powers to the French Revolution. The authors try to show a close relation between the policy of the Stockholm court towards revolutionary France and the actions of the king of Sweden in Central and Eastern Europe. The study uses hitherto neglected sources such as correspondence of Swedish diplomats from St Petersburg, Madrid and Warsaw, or records found in the Riksarkivet in Stockholm. Thus, the presented article should fill the existing research gap in the abovementioned area of interest.

Prezentowany artykuł jest przyczynkiem do biografii duchownego katolickiego, proboszcza parafii w Łubnianach na Górnym Śląsku – ks. Franciszka Pogrzeby. W 1907 r. ks. Pogrzeba, jako jeden z czternastu kapłanów, podpisał tzw. „Odezwę księży”, w myśl której zerwali oni współpracę z  katolicką Niemiecką Partią Centrum oraz wsparli posłów „Koła Polskiego” w parlamencie niemieckim. Po I wojnie światowej ks. Pogrzeba działał na rzecz przyłączenia Górnego Śląska do Polski. Po  podziale tego regonu, zagrożony przez niemieckich nacjonalistów, musiał uciekać do Polski. Resztę życia spędził jako proboszcz parafii w Przyszowicach, położonych w należącej do Polski części Górnego Śląska.
Obecność franciszkańska w Egipcie (XIII-XVIII wiek)
Authors: Paczkowski Mieczysław

„Barwa drewna”. O kryteriach oceny i interpretacji twórczości rzeźbiarzy zakopiańskich w polskiej krytyce artystycznej i wystawiennictwie od zakończenia II wojny światowej do wystawy Sztuka Ludowa w 30-leciu PRL
Authors: Chrudzimska-Uhera Katarzyna , Chrudzimska-Uhera Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

Tematem artykułu jest recepcja zakopiańskiego rzeźbiarstwa od lat 40. do 70. XX w. Analizie poddane zostały teksty krytyczne i koncepcje kuratorskie, odsłaniające strategie postrzegania i kwalifikowania rzeźby zakopiańskiej w relacji do sztuki ludowej. Wskazano kluczowe kryteria, takie jak: stosowany materiał – drewno, oraz pochodzenie i miejsce zamieszkania twórcy, w oparciu o które dzieła zakopiańczyków stereotypowo przypisywano do obszaru sztuki ludowej. Tendencja ta ukazana została w szerszym kontekście modernistycznych mitów XX w. i zakwestionowana jako niewłaściwa do oceny zakopiańskiego snycerstwa 2. poł. XX w. W zakończeniu artykułu przywołane zostały poglądy współczesnego antropologa Timothy Ingolda, jako możliwa metodologiczna alternatywa spojrzenia na zakopiańskie rzeźbiarstwo z pominięciem modernistycznych kryteriów wyprowadzonych z hylemorficznego modelu świata.
Holokaust i odrodzenie. Metamorfozy koloru w malarstwie artysty żydowskiego – Ocalonego Aleksandra Bogena (1916-2010). Wybrane przykłady
Authors: Tarnowska Magdalena
Published: December 2021

Według prowadzonych przeze mnie badań, latach 1946-1950 było czynnych około 40 plastyków – Ocalonych z Zagłady. Jednym z nich był wilnianin – Aleksander Bogen (1916-2010). Partyzant, uczestnik akcji ratowania ludzi z getta. Lata 1947-1951 spędził w Łodzi. Emigrował do Izraela, gdzie uważany jest za jednego z wybitniejszych kolorystów. Chociaż nie było jego zamiarem podejmowanie tematyki Zagłady, w jego twórczości pojawiają się motywy stanowiące jej symboliczne odwzorowanie: grupa partyzantów, dziewczynka z lalką, rodzina deportowana z getta podczas jego likwidacji. Analiza jego twórczości w kontekście doświadczeń Holokaustu obrazowanych poprzez te motywy, pozwala opisać proces ich sublimacji poprzez metamorfozy formy, barwy i znaczeń.
Colour as a ready-made: notes on the margins of the works of Adam Marczyński
Authors: Błotnicka-Mazur Elżbieta
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the issue of colour and its perception in selected works by Adam Marczyński (1908-1985), which are part of the Variable Reflections series from the 1960s and 1970s. The starting point for our considerations is colour treated as a ready-made, a colour swatch annexed to the painting arts by artists aware of the fact that colour can be a commercial product. The subject of the analysis are Marczyński’s works filled with square or rectangular coffers covered with movable flaps hinged on an axis. The artist covered the interior of the coffers with intense colour, usually achieved through the use of fluorescent paints. Their vivid colour was to be transmitted through reflections of light bouncing off of the silvery surface of flaps, and changing depending on the angle of inclination.

Weneckie wyroby rzemiosła artystycznego z XVI wieku ze względu na drogocenne materiały, kunszt technologiczny, a także wysoki poziom artystyczny były towarem eksportowym na całą Europę. Odnoście do kilku grup weneckiego rzemiosła artystycznego (szkła, majoliki, miedzianych wyrobów zdobionych emalią czy tkanin jedwabnych) można rozpatrywać zagadnienie walorów kolorystycznych, które wpływały na odbiór tych luksusowych dóbr. Weneccy sprzedawcy barwników – vendicolori – posiadali w swoich sklepach składniki, których używali rzemieślnicy tacy jak: malarze ceramicy, malarze na szkle oraz farbiarze tkanin. W wyrobach weneckiego rzemiosła artystycznego tego okresu dominowały takie barwy jak: czerwień i jej różne odcienie, kobalt oraz żółć.

Published: December 2021

Problematyka symbolicznego i poza symbolicznego znaczenia kolorystyki nagrobków powstających na cmentarzach od końca XVIII w. po wiek XX, nie była dotąd przedmiotem szerszej refleksji badawczej. W artykule omówione zostały wybrane przykłady będące m.in. efektem prac dokumentacyjnych na cmentarzach: wileńskiej Rossie, Bajkowa w Kijowie i z terenu Tarnopolszczyzny. Artykuł skupia się na problematyce występowania i symboliki takich kolorów jak: biel, czerń, czerwień, niebieski. Punktem wyjścia jest paryski pomnik nagrobny Napoleona, dzieło nie znajdujące się na cmentarzu, ale będące przykładem budowania znaczenia symbolicznego poprzez kolorystykę. Ukazane zostały również poza symboliczne powody wybierania kolorystyki związane z estetyką, lokalną dostępnością kamieni i ich importem.

El presente estudio tiene como propósito mostrar el funcionamiento de las criptomonedas, su tecnología, su mercado, las oportunidades y amenazas que conllevan a su uso. Este ensayo es de tipo bibliográfico por ser de característica explicativa y descriptiva otorgando conocimientos históricos los cuales permitirán analizar las oportunidades de un sistema descentralizado cuyas reglas de juego funcionan con la oferta y la demanda. Además, se tratará el análisis de las amenazas que se han venido suscitando en cuanto a su estabilidad, uso ilícito. La crisis crediticia o crisis de las hipotecas del año 2008 llegó a poner en duda la estabilidad del sistema financiero. El gobierno de Estados Unidos permitió que la banca, los seguros y Wall Street causaran una hecatombe económica que llevó a la quiebra múltiples bancos e instituciones varias, lo cual desencadenó una crisis financiera a nivel mundial afectando así a la población en general. Esto reveló la poca regulación de los estados hacia un sistema financiero fraudulento y como consecuencia generó la desconfianza de la población con la banca. El estado intervino y rescató a los mayores bancos con el dinero de los impuestos de los ciudadanos, medidas que fueron repetidas en todo el mundo. La falta de confianza al sistema financiero produjo la oportunidad para que surgieran nuevas alternativas, de las cuales una de ellas fue la creación, implantación y aceptación de una nueva moneda con una tecnología descentralizada llamada cadena de bloques por medio de la cual se muestran las transacciones confirmadas y permite que el usuario pueda tener un número determinado de criptomonedas.

Published: December 2021

The possibilities of practical implementation of physical approaches to the design of metal-dielectric photonic crystal systems based on opals, which allow controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves, are shown. The implemented approaches are based on the effects of excitation of surface plasmon-polaritons capable of propagating along the metal-dielectric interface in plasmonic-photonic layered heterostructures, and modification of the photonic-energy structure of the nanocomposite as a result of dispersion of silver in the opal matrix. Experimental results are presented indicating the occurrence of extraordinary transmission and absorption of light in plasmonic-photonic heterostructures, as well as the asymmetric shape of curves in the reflection spectra of nanocomposites, which is associated with the Fano resonance.
Evaluation of Repeated Web-Based Screening for Predicting Postpartum Depression: Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Haßdenteufel Kathrin , Lingenfelder Katrin , Schwarze Cornelia E , Feisst Manuel , Brusniak Katharina , Matthies Lina Maria , Goetz Maren , Wallwiener Markus , Wallwiener Stephanie
Published: December 2021

Background

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a severe mental disorder that often results in poor maternal-infant attachment and negatively impacts infant development. Universal screening has recently been recommended to identify women at risk, but the optimal screening time during pregnancy has not been defined so far. Thus, web-based technologies with widespread use among women of childbearing age create new opportunities to detect pregnancies with a high risk for adverse mental health outcomes at an early stage.

Objective

The aim of this study was to stratify the risk for PPD and to determine the optimal screening time during pregnancy by using a web-based screening tool collecting electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) as the basis for a screening algorithm.

Methods

In total, 214 women were repeatedly tested for depressive symptoms 5 times during and 3 times after pregnancy by using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), accessible on a web-based pregnancy platform, developed by the authors of this study. For each prenatal assessment, the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for PPD were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify further potential predictors, such as age, education, parity, relationship quality, and anxiety, to increase predictive accuracy.

Results

Digitally collected data from 214 pregnant women were analyzed. The predictive accuracy of depressive symptoms 3 and 6 months postpartum was reasonable to good regarding the screening in the second (AUC=0.85) and third (AUC=0.75) trimester. The multivariate logistic regression analyses resulted in an excellent AUC of 0.93 at 3 months and a good AUC of 0.87 at 6 months postpartum.

Conclusions

The best predictive accuracy for PPD has been shown for screening between the 24th and the 28th gestational week (GW) and seems to be beneficial for identifying women at risk. In combination with the aforementioned predictive factors, the discriminatory power improved, particularly at 3 months postpartum. Screening for depression during pregnancy, combined with the women’s personal risk profile, can be used as a starting point for developing a digital screening algorithm. Thereby, web-based assessment tools constitute feasible, efficient, and cost-effective approaches. Thus, they seem to be beneficial in detecting high-risk pregnancies in order to improve maternal and infant birth outcomes in the long term.

Research using artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is expected to significantly influence the practice of medicine and the delivery of health care in the near future. However, for successful deployment, the results must be transported across health care facilities. We present a cross-facilities application of an AI model that predicts the need for an emergency caesarean during birth. The transported model showed benefit; however, there can be challenges associated with interfacility variation in reporting practices.
The Effect of Digital Health Interventions on Parents’ Mental Health Literacy and Help Seeking for Their Child’s Mental Health Problem: Systematic Review
Authors: Peyton Daniel , Goods Marquelle , Hiscock Harriet
Published: December 2021

Background

Many children with mental health problems do not receive professional help. Despite the frequent use of digital health interventions (DHIs) such as websites or web-based service navigation platforms, their effects on parents’ mental health literacy, help seeking, or uptake of professional services are unclear.

Objective

This study aims to provide a systematic review and narrative synthesis to describe whether DHIs improve the aforementioned parental outcomes.

Methods

Databases, including CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE OVID, PsycINFO, and PubMed (2000-2020), were accessed. Studies were included if they evaluated quantitative changes in mental health literacy, help seeking, or the uptake of services by parents of children with mental health problems. Theoretical frameworks, sample sizes, participant demographics, recruitment, interventions, DHI use, results, and health economic measures were used for data extraction.

Results

Of the 11,379 search results, 5 (0.04%) studies met the inclusion criteria. One randomized controlled trial found the reduced uptake of services after using a DHI coupled with a telephone coach for a child’s behavioral problem. Of 3 studies, 2 (66.7%) found statistically significant improvement in mental health literacy for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder but had no control group. One study found nonsignificant improvement in mental health literacy and help-seeking attitudes toward anxiety and depression compared with those in active controls. All studies were rated as having a high or serious risk of bias. Search results were affected because of a single reviewer screening articles, overall low-quality studies, and a lack of consistent nomenclature.

Conclusions

There is no high-quality evidence that DHIs can improve parents’ mental health literacy, help seeking, or uptake of services. More research is needed to evaluate DHIs by using rigorous study designs and consistent measures.

Cultural and Linguistic Adaptation for the Romanian Language Version of the Cardiff Acne Disability Index: A Pilot Study on the Web-Based Experience of Cognitive Debriefing
Authors: Cretu Stefana , Salavastru Carmen Maria
Published: December 2021

Background

The Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) is a validated measurement instrument for quality of life evaluation in young patients with acne. The original version was designed in English, and it has been translated to other languages. An adaptation for the Romanian language was lacking.

Objective

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the comprehensibility of the Romanian language adaptation of the CADI in a small sample of patients with acne.

Methods

Guided by the team at Cardiff University, we conducted the stages of the standardized translation process—forward translation, the reconciliation of translated versions, back translation, and cognitive debriefing. The cognitive debriefing stage involved applying the CADI to a small sample of patients. This was followed by individual interviews in which each question was discussed. Ethical approval was obtained for the cognitive debriefing stage. We administered this measure as a web-based form. The completion times for each individual question and for the entire survey were automatically recorded. The interviews for assessing comprehensibility and suitability for the Romanian language and culture were also held as live, web-based meetings.

Results

A total of 7 patients with acne—4 females and 3 males—aged between 19 and 34 years were included. All subjects were native speakers of the Romanian language. They had mild or moderate acne. The mean completion time for the survey was 3.28 minutes. The mean score for the CADI was 5.4286. All participants agreed that the language used in this quality of life measurement instrument was simple, clear, and adequate for their native language.

Conclusions

Despite the epidemiologic restrictions against COVID-19, through teledermatology, we achieved cultural adaptation for the CADI in a language that previously lacked a specific tool for assessing quality of life impairment in patients with acne.

Crusted Scabies as a Suitable Disease for Teledermatology: A Study of 2 Cases
Authors: Bimbi César , Dalla Lana Daiane Flores , Brzezinski Piotr , Kyriakou Georgia
Published: December 2021

Background

Teledermatology has been available for several years now, but the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted its importance, especially in remote communities. Crusted scabies (CS) presents a unique clinical picture that favors telediagnosis. Patients with neurological diseases, as well as homeless, HIV-infected patients and people with impaired immunological function, are at risk. Clusters of CS have been reported in French Guyana, and these were associated with human T-lymphotropic virus infections. CS has also been reported in Aboriginal Australian communities.

Objective

Teledermatology is especially useful in cases of CS, as it is a disease that affects areas that are in need of medical services. At the same time, CS presents a unique clinical picture. The objective of this presentation is to fuel the clinical suspicion and detection of patients with this debilitating condition.

Methods

Relatives of patient 1 contacted our clinic for teledermatology appointments. General practitioners from health services sent images of the second patient.

Results

Case 1 involved an older woman living in a nursing home with Alzheimer disease, which was severe enough to constrain her to bed. We recommended that her relatives (who had sent images) collect skin scrapings in a container. These scrapings were sent to a clinical analysis laboratory where microscopic potassium hydroxide preparation revealed the presence of Sarcoptes mites. Treatment with oral ivermectin and topical permethrin resulted in the complete resolution of the lesions. Case 2 involved a homeless, HIV-positive, 42-year-old male. The images were sent by clinicians from local health services. This patient was also treated with oral ivermectin and permethrin lotion. We recognize that this case would need further diagnostic workup, but it is highly indicative of CS.

Conclusions

CS is one of the most suited diseases for the practice of teledermatology for widespread, large, hyperkeratotic fissured plaques covered with abundant, silvery scales for which the expression “once seen, never forgotten” is highly applicable. These cases are gratifyingly simple to treat, and patients benefit from rapid clinical improvement. Prompt diagnoses prevent outbreaks of scabies for relatives and medical personnel, since these skin crusts contain large numbers of scabies mites. CS has been increasingly reported but poorly recognized, and it has often been misdiagnosed as psoriasis. Images, such as those shown in this presentation, are unique and are enough to raise strong clinical suspicion.

Comparing the Effects of Gamification and Teach-Back Training Methods on Adherence to a Therapeutic Regimen in Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Randomized Clinical Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Ghorbani Banafsheh , Jackson Alun C , Noorchenarboo Mohammad , Mandegar Mohammad H , Sharifi Farshad , Mirmoghtadaie Zohrehsadat , Bahramnezhad Fatemeh
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABGS) may fail to adhere to their treatment regimen for many reasons. Among these, one of the most important reasons for nonadherence is the inadequate training of such patients or training using inappropriate methods.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to compare the effect of gamification and teach-back training methods on adherence to a therapeutic regimen in patients after CABGS.

METHODS

This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 123 patients undergoing CABGS in Tehran, Iran, in 2019. Training was provided to the teach-back group individually. In the gamification group, an app developed for the purpose was installed on each patient’s smartphone, with training given via this device. The control group received usual care, or routine training. Adherence to the therapeutic regimen was assessed using a questionnaire on adherence to a therapeutic regimen (physical activity and dietary regimen) and an adherence scale as a pretest and a 1-month posttest.

RESULTS

One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for comparing the mean scores of teach-back and gamification training methods showed that the mean normalized scores for the dietary regimen (P<.001, F=71.80), movement regimen (P<.001, F=124.53), and medication regimen (P<.001, F=9.66) before and after intervention were significantly different between the teach-back, gamification, and control groups. In addition, the results of the Dunnett test showed that the teach-back and gamification groups were significantly different from the control group in all three treatment regimen methods. There was no statistically significant difference in adherence to the therapeutic regimen between the teach-back and control groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of this study, the use of teach-back and gamification training approaches may be suggested for patients after CABGS to facilitate adherence to the therapeutic regimen.

Human-Centered Design Approaches in Digital Mental Health Interventions: Exploratory Mapping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Vial Stéphane , Boudhraâ Sana , Dumont Mathieu
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Digital mental health interventions have a great potential to alleviate mental illness and increase access to care. However, these technologies face significant challenges, especially in terms of user engagement and adoption. It has been suggested that this issue stems from a lack of user perspective in the development process; accordingly, several human-centered design approaches have been developed over the years to consider this important aspect. Yet, few human-centered design approaches to digital solutions exist in the field of mental health, and rarely are end users involved in their development.

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this literature review is to understand how human-centered design is considered in e-mental health intervention research.

METHODS

An exploratory mapping review was conducted of mental health journals with the explicit scope of covering e-mental health technology. The human-centered design approaches reported and the core elements of design activity (ie, object, context, design process, and actors involved) were examined among the eligible studies.

RESULTS

A total of 30 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 22 mentioned using human-centered design approaches or specific design methods in the development of an e-mental health solution. Reported approaches were classified as participatory design (11/27, 41%), codesign (6/27, 22%), user-centered design (5/27, 19%), or a specific design method (5/27, 19%). Just over half (15/27, 56%) of the approaches mentioned were supported by references. End users were involved in each study to some extent but not necessarily in designing. About 27% (8/30) of all the included studies explicitly mentioned the presence of designers on their team.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results show that some attempts have indeed been made to integrate human-centered design approaches into digital mental health technology development. However, these attempts rely very little on designers and design research. Researchers from other domains and technology developers would be wise to learn the underpinnings of human-centered design methods before selecting one over another. Inviting designers for assistance when implementing a particular approach would also be beneficial. To further motivate interest in and use of human-centered design principles in the world of e-mental health, we make nine suggestions for better reporting of human-centered design approaches in future research.

Alimentación y pandemia. De la miseria nutricional a una nueva filosofía de la alimentación
Authors: Espinosa Bermejo José Luis , Martínez Domínguez Beatriz
Published: December 2021

El gobierno federal mexicano ha señalado que el elevado número de contagios y muertes por covid-19 se debe a que muchas de ellas padecen una o varias enfermedades crónicas que se relacionan con el consumo de alimentos ultra procesados (aup) dificultando por tanto su recuperación. En el presente artículo se tiene por objeto analizar las acciones del gobierno federal mexicano para impulsar cambios en la alimentación de la población con el propósito de lograr una sociedad más saludable. Entre los cambios manifiestos se destaca la modificación a la Ley General de Salud para imponer un nuevo etiquetado en los aup y evitar la publicidad engañosa. También se ha logrado que en estados como Oaxaca y Tabasco se prohíba la distribución, venta, regalo y suministro de bebidas azucaradas y alimentos chatarra a menores de edad. Por otro lado, se analizan las acciones emprendidas por la aludida industria alimentaria en contra de las decisiones gubernamentales en materia alimentaria. Finalmente, se brindan algunas tareas urgentes que debe emprender el gobierno federal para fortalecer el nuevo sistema alimentario y no verse debilitadas por las poderosas industrias productoras de alimentos industrializados.
