Published: May 2022

Many nations are seeing an increase in water pollution from dairy and cheese production due to the high organic and fat content in their waste products and the high temperature of their waste products, which elevates the water temperature and causes loss to ecosystem components. Reusing industrial wastewater that has been treated to guarantee no harm has been done to the environment is being hampered by a lack of water. This study compares the presence and absence of mixing in the anaerobic biological treatment of liquid waste for the cheese industry. To decrease heat exchange with the external environment, cube-shaped anaerobic reactors with dimensions of (30 x 30 x 30) cm and thick glass (10 mm) were utilized in this investigation. The temperature of the two reactors was 35°C, with the first reactor containing a mixture and the second reactor containing no mixture. Samples were obtained every five days and evaluated in the laboratory to monitor changes in the characteristics of liquid cheese waste during the treatment period, which was 30 days. The indicators (pH, EC, TDS, TSS, COD, and Alkalinity) were used, and a total of 72 tests were performed throughout the research period for each indicator. The results appeared that the first anaerobic reactor with the combination removed 95.1 % COD, whereas the second reactor that did not contain the mixture removed 94.1 % COD. The anaerobic reactors are very efficient in treating COD; the COD removal rate in the first reactor with the combination was 1.9 %, while the COD removal rate in the second reactor without mixing was 94.1 %. The increase in pH in the first and second reactors, followed by achieving the neutralization value, is proof of anaerobic reactor success. Total dissolved solids removal was achieved in anaerobic reactors in the first reactor (7.5 %) and peaked in the second reactor (17.83). The proportion of TSS removed in the first anaerobic reactor was 57.9%, and in the second reactor, it was 60.3 %. From all above can be concluded that the presence of mixing had a slight and negligible positive effect on the anaerobic reactors

Virtual Reality Training Using Nintendo Wii Games for Patients With Stroke: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Anwar Naveed , Karimi Hossein , Ahmad Ashfaq , Gilani Syed Amir , Khalid Kehkshan , Aslam Ahmed Sohaib , Hanif Asif
Published: May 2022

Background

Stroke is a leading cause of disability. It is difficult to devise an optimal rehabilitation plan once stroke survivors are back home. Conventional rehabilitative therapies are extensively used in patients with stroke to recover motor functioning and disability, but these are arduous and expensive. Virtual reality (VR) video games inspire patients to get involved in their therapeutic exercise routine in a fun way. VR in the form of games provides a fruitful, secure, and challenging learning environment for motor control and neural plasticity development in rehabilitation. The effects of upper limb sensorimotor functioning and balance are the main focus of this trial.

Objective

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of VR training and routine physical therapy on balance and upper extremity sensorimotor function in patients with stroke.

Methods

It was a single assessor-blinded randomized clinical trial. A total of 74 participants with their first chronic stroke were included and rehabilitated in a clinical setting. The lottery method was used to randomly assign patients to either the VR group (n=37) or the routine physical therapy group (n=37). The VR group received a 1-hour session of VR training for 3 weekdays over 6 weeks, and the routine physical therapy group received different stretching and strengthening exercises. The outcome measuring tools were the Berg Balance Scale for balance and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (upper extremity) scale for sensorimotor, joint pain, and range assessment. The assessment was done at the start of treatment and after the 6 weeks of intervention. Data analysis was done using SPSS 22.

Results

The trial was completed by 68 patients. A significant difference between the two groups was found in the Berg Balance Scale score (P<.001), Fugl-Meyer Assessment for motor function (P=.03), and Fugl-Meyer Assessment for joint pain and joint range (P<.001); however, no significant difference (P=.19) in the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper extremity sensation was noted.

Conclusions

VR training is helpful for improving balance and function of the upper extremities in the routine life of patients with stroke; although, it was not found to be better than conventional training in improving upper limb sensation. VR training can be a better option in a rehabilitation plan designed to increase functional capability.

Evaluation of the Clinical, Technical, and Financial Aspects of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: Scoping Review and Framework of Analysis
Authors: Gomez Rossi Jesus , Feldberg Ben , Krois Joachim , Schwendicke Falk
Published: May 2022

Background

Cost-effectiveness analysis of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine demands consideration of clinical, technical, and economic aspects to generate impactful research of a novel and highly versatile technology.

Objective

We aimed to systematically scope existing literature on the cost-effectiveness of AI and to extract and summarize clinical, technical, and economic dimensions required for a comprehensive assessment.

Methods

A scoping literature review was conducted to map medical, technical, and economic aspects considered in studies on the cost-effectiveness of medical AI. Based on these, a framework for health policy analysis was developed.

Results

Among 4820 eligible studies, 13 met the inclusion criteria for our review. Internal medicine and emergency medicine were the clinical disciplines most frequently analyzed. Most of the studies included were from the United States (5/13, 39%), assessed solutions requiring market access (9/13, 69%), and proposed optimization of direct resources as the most frequent value proposition (7/13, 53%). On the other hand, technical aspects were not uniformly disclosed in the studies we analyzed. A minority of articles explicitly stated the payment mechanism assumed (5/13, 38%), while it remained unspecified in the majority (8/13, 62%) of studies.

Conclusions

Current studies on the cost-effectiveness of AI do not allow to determine if the investigated AI solutions are clinically, technically, and economically viable. Further research and improved reporting on these dimensions seem relevant to recommend and assess potential use cases for this technology.

Authors: Xi JuZhe , Gao YuHan , Lyu Na , She Zhuang , Wang XinYue , Zhang Xin-An , Yu XiaoYu , Ji WeiDong , Wei MengSheng , Dai WeiHui , Qian Xuesheng
Published: May 2022

Background

COVID-19 has spread worldwide and generated tremendous stress on human beings. Unfortunately, it is often hard for distressed individuals to access mental health services under conditions of restricted movement or even lockdown.

Objective

The study first aims to develop an online digital intervention package based on a commercially released coloring game. The second aim is to test the effectiveness of difference intervention packages for players to increase subjective well-being (SWB) and reduce anxiety during the pandemic.

Methods

An evidence-based coloring intervention package was developed and uploaded to an online coloring game covering almost 1.5 million players worldwide in January 2021. Players worldwide participated to color either 4 rounds of images characterized by awe, pink, nature, and blue or 4 rounds of irrelevant images. Participants' SWB and anxiety and the perceived effectiveness of the game in reducing anxiety (subjective effectiveness [SE]) were assessed 1 week before the intervention (T1), after the participants completed pictures in each round (T2-T5), and after the intervention (T6). Independent 2-tailed t tests were conducted to examine the general intervention (GI) effect and the intervention effect of each round. Univariate analysis was used to examine whether these outcome variables were influenced by the number of rounds completed.

Results

In total, 1390 players worldwide responded and completed at least 1 assessment. Overall, the GI group showed a statistical significantly greater increase in SWB than the general control (GC) group (N=164, t162=3.59, Cohen d=0.59, 95% CI 0.36-1.24, P<.001). Compared to the control group, the best effectiveness of the intervention group was seen in the awe round, in which the increase in SWB was significant (N=171, t169=2.51, Cohen d=0.39, 95% CI 0.10-0.82, P=.01), and players who colored all 4 pictures had nearly significant improvements in SWB (N=171, F4,170=2.34, partial ŋ2=0.053, P=.06) and a significant decrease in anxiety (N=171, F4,170=3.39, partial ŋ2=0.075, P=.01).

Conclusions

These data indicate the effectiveness of online psychological interventions, such as coloring games, for mental health in the specific period. They also show the feasibility of applying existing commercial games embedded with scientific psychological interventions that can fill the gap in mental crises and services for a wider group of people during the pandemic. The results would inspire innovations to prevent the psychological problems caused by public emergencies and encourage more games, especially the most popular ones, to take more positive action for the common crises of humankind.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

It was reported that one in four parents were hesitant about vaccinating their children in China. Previous studies have revealed a declining trend in the vaccine willingness rate in China. There is a need to monitor the level of parental vaccine hesitancy toward routine childhood vaccination and hesitancy toward the COVID-19 vaccine during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess changes in trends of parental attitudes toward routine childhood vaccines and COVID-19 vaccinations across different time periods in China.

METHODS

Three waves of cross-sectional surveys were conducted on parents residing in Wuxi City in Jiangsu Province, China from September to October 2020, February to March 2021, and May to June 2021. Participants were recruited from immunization clinics. Chi-square tests were used to compare the results of the three surveys, controlling for sociodemographic factors. Binary and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine factors related to parental vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 vaccine willingness.

RESULTS

Overall, 2881, 1038, and 1183 participants were included in the survey’s three waves. Using the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale, 7.8% (225/2881), 15.1% (157/1038), and 5.5% (65/1183) of parents showed hesitancy to childhood vaccination (P<.001), and 59.3% (1709/2881), 64.6% (671/1038), and 92% (1088/1183) of parents agreed to receive a COVID-19 vaccine themselves in the first, second, and third surveys, respectively (P<.001). In all three surveys, “concerns about vaccine safety and side effects” was the most common reason for refusal.

CONCLUSIONS

There has been an increasing acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination in Wuxi City, China. Effective interventions are needed to mitigate public concerns about vaccine safety.

The Impact of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) on the Acuity of Mental Health–Related Diagnosis at Admission for Young Adults in New York City and Washington, DC: Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Fialk Amanda , Connors Alexa , Cerrito Brianna , Jones Karee , Buono Frank
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic has required restrictive measures to mitigate transmission of the virus. Evidence has demonstrated increased generalized anxiety and depression among young adults due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, minimal research has examined the longitudinal effect of COVID-19 over the course of time and its impact on anxiety and depression. Additionally, age and gender have been found to play a significant role on individuals’ mental health, with young adults and women particularly at risk.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety and depression upon admissions to treatment.

METHODS

This was an observational study that was completed longitudinally in which the grouping variable split the time interval into five equal groups for assessments over each period of time. A total of 112 young adults (aged 18-25 years) were recruited for the study. Participants completed assessments online through a Qualtrics link.

RESULTS

Psychometric properties of the admission assessments were uniformly highly statistically significant. There was a significant difference in generalized anxiety between the group-1 and group-3 time intervals. No significant difference was found across the time intervals for depression. Differences in predicting the impact of the psychometrics scores were found with respect to gender. Only the ability to participate and the quality-of-life subfactor of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) assessment were significant.

CONCLUSIONS

This study sought to understand the impact that COVID-19 has had on young adults seeking mental health services during the pandemic. Gender emerged as a clear significant factor contributing to increased anxiety in young adults seeking mental health services during the pandemic. These findings have critical importance to ensuring the potential treatment success rate of clients, while providing an overarching understanding of the impact of the pandemic and establishing clinical recommendations for the treatment of individuals who are seeking out treatment.
Синдром сонного апное у практиці амбулаторної анестезії (літературний огляд)
Authors: Krishtafor D.A. , Klygunenko O.M. , Stanin D.M.
Published: May 2022

Синдром обструктивного апное сну є досить частим станом, на який іноді не звертають уваги. Основним його проявом є припинення самостійного дихання уві сні з частотою понад 5 раз на годину з пробудженнями, порушенням сну і, як наслідок, денною сонливістю. Найбільш часто синдром обструктивного апное сну поєднується з ожирінням. Визнано, що існує зв’язок між цим захворюванням і гіпертонією, ішемічною хворобою серця, інсультами. Діагностика вимагає спеціальних методів дослідження, таких як полісомнографія. Існують досить прості опитувальники, що дозволяють запідозрити це захворювання (шкала Епворт, опитувальник STOP-Bang). В амбулаторній хірургії синдром обструктивного апное сну (в поєднанні з ожирінням) представляє небезпеку за рахунок складних дихальних шляхів, ризику апное при виході з наркозу, раптової смерті у післяопераційному періоді. В даному огляді наведені методи корекції цього захворювання, особливості передопераційної оцінки хворих, інтраопераційного ведення, особливості пробудження в постнаркозному періоді.
Vote-Buying and Democratic Governance in Nigeria
Authors: CHRISTOPHER FIEMOTONGHA , OGBOTUBO LOVE GOD S. , GESIYE IFIDI E.
Published: May 2022

This work is an analysis of “Vote Buying and Democracy in Nigeria”. Vote-buying in Nigeria is implicitly becoming an accepted practice with the political class, electoral body, security agencies as well as the electorate contributing to its growth. Democracy entails majority rule and gives ultimate power to the people, among other things. This is demonstrated during elections where political leaders are chosen by the people, through the ballot. This democratic process in Nigeria is altered and negatively influenced by several factors. Vote-buying, a monetary and material inducement that compels voters to vote contrary to their choices, is a disturbing trend that gets consolidated by each passing election in Nigeria. This study examines vote-buying as a dominant-negative factor militating against democratic governance in Nigeria. It is observed in this study that vote-buying is strengthened by bad governance. There is the need to amend Nigeria’s electoral laws to truly make the electoral body independent from the executive, to give it a neutral disposition. There are extant constitutional provisions that criminalize vote-buying, therefore these laws should be enforced, irrespective of the status of the offenders.
REGIONALNI BEZBEDNOSNI POTKOMPLEKS – SLUČAJ ZAPADNI BALKAN
Authors: Milenkovic Mirjana
Published: May 2022

Kreatori Teorije regionalnog bezbednosnog kompleksa su smatrali da Balkan, iz razloga jezičkih i kulturoloških sličnosti, zajedničke istorije, geografske povezanosti, predstavlja poseban bezbednosni potkompleks u okviru Evropskog regionalnog bezbednosnog kompleksa. Događaji koji su izazvali promene unutar Balkana, koji su uticali na promene strukture obrazaca prijateljstva ili neprijateljstva i integracioni procesi koji su nesumnjivo uticali na evoluiranje balkanskog potkompleksa učinili su da stvari danas izgledaju drugačije. Dva ključna pitanja koja kreiraju bezbednosnu strukturu Zapadnog Balkana su pitanje osiguranja regionalne bezbednosti i stabilnosti posle jednostranog proglašenja nezavisnosti Kosova i Metohije i pitanje budućeg unutrašnjeg uređenja Bosne i Hercegovine. Kako pretnje lakše putuju preko kraćih distanci polazi se od pretpostavke da je bezbednosna međuzavisnost upravo izraženija među državama Zapadnog Balkana zbog čega se Zapadni Balkan, a ne više Balkan, može smatrati bezbednosnim potkompleksom.
BIOMEDICINSKI POTPOMOGNUTO OPLOĐENJE – IZA KULISA PRAVNIH NORMI
Authors: Barac Ivana
Published: May 2022

Rad je nastao kao rezultat namere autorke da osvrtom na pozitivne propise Republike Srbije kao i stavove teorije o oblasti biomedicine, izloži potencijalne probleme koji su uočeni i predloži izmene zakona koji reguliše BMPO. U uvodnom delu, pažnja je usmerena na reproduktivnu autonomiju, da bi se potom ukazalo na pozitivne propise Republike Srbije koji garantuju pravo na slobodno odlučivanje o rađanju deteta. Potom je sprovedena analiza odredbi Zakona o biomedicinski potpomognutoj oplodnji koje daju odgovor na pitanje ko su korisnici prava na BMPO. Autorka ispituje opravdanost norme zakona kojom se u odnosu na (van)bračne parove kao korisnike prava na BMPO predviđa obaveza sprovođenja procene njihove podobnosti da vrše roditeljsku dužnost, te predlaže izmene kojima bi se problematična odredba zakona potencijalno uredila. Nadalje se obrađuje pitanje celishodnosti norme kojom se ženi koja živi sama priznaje pravo na BMPO, bez obzira na njen (in)fertilitet. Autorka iznosi mišljenje da bi ovakvo pravo ženi trebalo priznati, ali uz odgovarajuće uslove koji bi podrazumevali i potrebu procene najboljeg interesa deteta. Naposletku, u radu je izloženo i pitanje uticaja pandemije na ostvarivanje prava na BMPO, s obzirom na obustave rada komisije i obustave sprovođenja postupka veštačke oplodnje usled virusa SARS-KoV-2. Ipak, analizom se utvrđuje da je naš pravni sistem potencijalne probleme izbegao, postavljanjem odredbi koje vode računa o vanrednim okolnostima izazvanim pandemijom.
Iako ne sporeći postojeće nedostatke zakonskih rešenja, dolazi se do zaključka da je pravni sistem Republike Srbije rešavanju problema infertiliteta pristupio na progresivan i tolerantan način.

Published: May 2022

Rad putem analize i upoređivanja elemenata i simbola državnosti Kraljevine Srbije, Republike Srbije, Republike Srpske i Republike Srpske Krajine pokazuje da su, posle raspada socijalističke Jugoslavije, Republika Srpska i Republika Srpska Krajina obnovile identitet državnosti Kraljevine Srbije znatno pre Republike Srbije. S tim u vezi, rad pokazuje da danas i Republika Srbija i Republika Srpska nose identitet državnosti Srbije pa je stoga logično da budu ujedinjene u jedinstvenu Srbiju.
El diálogo como alternativa
Authors: Hoyo Arana José Luis
Published: May 2022

En el presente artículo, el autor presenta una propuesta de la evolución del diálogo a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad y de cómo quedaría remarcado como una empresa común en la que los argumentos, lejos de esterilizarse en la refutación inútil, servirían de fundamento a razona-mientos más acabados que, paulatina y gradualmente, se irían precisando hasta convertirse en una rigurosa aproximación científica a la realidad concreta. Sin embargo, simultáneamente descubrimos ahí otro elemento arquetípico del diálogo, que en su ir y venir, revela que a la verdad no se llega sólo por el silogismo abstracto, ni por el discurso brillante, sino sólo y únicamente mediante la confrontación y fundamentación de las ideas
La influencia francesa en el constitucionalismo mexicano: el caso de Sieyès

El trabajo que aquí se presenta trata de demostrar la influencia ejercida por Joseph Emmanuel Sieyès sobre el constitucionalismo mexicano y más particularmente sobre la constitución de 1824, puesto ya me he ocupado de la influencia de este ilustre pensador sobre la constitución centralista de 1836. Como se argumenta en el cuerpo de este ensayo, la tarea se antoja si no imposible, si muy difícil, debido a la ausencia de citas o evidencias de que los diputados cons-tituyentes asistentes al Congreso Constituyente de 1823-1824 hubiesen abrevado en su obra
El conflicto entre el presidente de la República y el Instituto Nacional Electoral en las elecciones federales del 2021: la defensa de la autonomía institucional frente a la política de austeridad del gasto público

Authors: Martínez-Muñoz Daniela Sofía , Rivera-Cerón Fernanda , Palacios-Solórzano Ileana , Ramírez-Martínez Belén A. , Molina-Aguilar Christian , Moguel Bárbara B.
Published: May 2022

La ganadería de rumiantes es considerada una de las mayores fuentes antropogénicas del gas metano (CH4). La metanogénesis es parte del proceso digestivo de estos animales y es mediada por los microorganismos presentes en el rumen, responsables no sólo de la pérdida de energía en el animal, que impacta directamente en la productividad del ganado, sino también de la producción del metano que contribuye al incremento del efecto invernadero. Las características funcionales del microbioma del rumen no han sido bien descritas debido a que la mayoría de los microorganismos presentes no son cultivables en condiciones de laboratorio, pero pueden ser estudiados mediante técnicas moleculares, como la metagenómica y la metatranscriptómica. Este artículo de revisión tiene como objetivos además de compilar y difundir la información del impacto ambiental por la industria ganadera, describir algunas de las estrategias experimentales y bioinformáticas que se utilizan en el análisis del microbioma ruminal desde lametagenómica y la metatranscriptómica, para reducir las emisiones de metano por el ganado.
Heterogeneous Multi-Model Ensemble based Length of Stay Prediction on MIMIC III
Authors: Geethamani D. , Rangaraj Dr. R.
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Accurately predicting the length of stay of patients in hospital can have positive impacts on both financial and psychological conditions of patients. This can also help hospital administrations to perform effective and correct allocation of critical resources to patients. This work presents an ensemble modeling technique that can be used for accurate determination of length of stay of patients based on several factors that are obtained from hospital records. The multi model nature of the architecture, and the heterogeneity associated with the production model provides a high performing system that can handle the complex hospital data. Experiments were performed on the standard MIMIC III data. Comparisons were performed with the existing state of the art models from literature. Comparisons indicate that the proposed HMME model demonstrations accuracy levels of 95%, indicating that the model can be effectively deployed in hospitals for decision making purposes. Keywords: Length of state prediction; ensemble modeling; multi model architecture; MIMIC III; correlation based analysis
Effect of Structural Shape on Seismic Response of Air Traffic Control Tower
Authors: Amrutkar Sonali , Sarvade Aishwarya , Waghmare Manisha
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCT) is one of the obligatory infrastructures for the airport to control the takeoff and landing of airplanes. The primary purpose of ATCT is to prevent collisions and shape the flow of air traffic. Due to a lack of adequate information about the seismic analysis, the performance of ATCT is generally considered to be the same as that of normal structures. However, the performance and demands of ATC towers differ significantly from common structures. In the present study, the analysis of ATCT for different structural shapes (viz., Hexagonal, Octagonal, Pentagonal, Square) with a height of 55m has been investigated. The structural performance of these models has been studied by different time history analysis using commercial software ETABs. The results exhibited that the performance of octagonal and hexagonal configurations was effectively better for seismic loads as compared to the pentagonal and square configuration in respect of story displacement, story drifts, story shear, and time periods. The seismic analysis also shows that the octagonal shape attracted larger base shear than pentagonal, hexagonal, and square shaped ATCT. However, due to more lateral resisting capacity, the drifts and displacements are found to be least.

Authors: Utari Dewi Trie
Published: May 2022

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkritik novel Assalamualaikum, Beijing! dengan menggunakan pendekatan struktural. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif Data dalam penelitian ini yaitu berupa kata, kalimat, dan paragraf yang terdapat dalam novel. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini adalah teknik pustaka, simak, dan catat. Adapun teknik analisis data yang digunakan yaitu dengan pembacaan hermeneutik. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini yaitu analisis struktural pada novel Assalamualaikum, Beijing! Karya Asma Nadia yang meliputi; 1) Tema adalah kesabaran dalam menerima segala ujian dan cobaan hidup. 2) Tokoh utama dalam novel tersebut adalah Asmara (Asma atau Ra), Dewa dan Zhongwen. 3) Alur yang digunakan adalah alur campuran atau maju mundur. Latar yang terdapat dalam novel ini terbagi menjadi tiga yakni latar tempat seperti rumah sakit, pemberhentian bus, masjid, dll; latar waktu seperti sore dan malam hari; dan latar suasana seperti haru, kecewa, dan bahagia. 4) Sudut pandang yang digunakan adalah orang ketiga. 5) Amanat dalam novel tersebut yaitu sebagai manusia kita harus tabah, sabar, tidak putus asa, dan berserah diri kepada Allah SWT akan segala cobaan hidup yang dilewati. Adapun kritik terhadap novel Assalamualaikum, Beijing! yaitu terletak pada alur dan nama penokohan yang terdapat dalam novel. Di mana nama Asma dan Ra yang pada awalnya dikira adalah dua tokoh yang berbeda namun ternyata dipertengahan dan akhir cerita baru diketahui bahwa nama tersebut adalah satu tokoh dengan nama lengkap Asmara. Sedangkan alurnya terletak pada kisah seorang tokoh bernama Asma yang begitu mudah melalui semua ujian hidup yang diterimanya tanpa adanya gambaran kisah perjuangannya dalam melalui satu persatu ujian tersebut. Berbanding terbalik dengan kehidupan nyata, di mana masyarakat saat ini banyak yang justru depresi hingga sampai bunuh diri dalam menghadapi cobaan hidup yang dialaminya. Maka seharusnya penulis menggambarkan dengan lebih jelas perjuangan yang dilakukan oleh Asma dalam menghadapi ujiannya agar dapat dicontoh dan ditiru oleh masyarakat.
