BACKGROUND

Cannabis is the most used illicit drug and admissions for cannabis use disorders (CUDs) are rising worldwide, posing a significant public health problem. Despite its negative consequences, an important number of problematic users do not access treatment. Digital health interventions (DHIs) have spread over the past two decades, as they are easily accessible and cost-effective solutions. CANreduce is one of the eHealth interventions that has proven effective in reducing cannabis use (CU), although it exhibited suboptimal adherence rates.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to enhance the effectiveness, adherence, and user experience of the Spanish version of CANreduce 2.0, by using focus groups (FGs), in the context of a patient-centered design approach that engages both patients and clinicians.

METHODS

Separate FGs were conducted for users and clinicians with a total of 10 participants. Each session was facilitated by two interviewers and conducted remotely via Zoom using a semi-structured script that allowed to discuss user’s perspectives on specific topics related to the acceptability, usability and utility of the DHI. A qualitative analysis of the transcripts was conducted using MAXQDA software. Content analysis methodology was used to identify and define themes that captured essential topics of interest from the data gathered.

RESULTS

Codes identified in the qualitative analysis were categorized into 3 main themes: "motivation and awareness," "guidance and use," and "content and design". Strengths and deficiencies of the intervention, as well as outlines on how to address them, were identified for each theme. The main findings highlighted the suitability of CANreduce 2.0 as a complement to in-person therapy serving as an educational and monitoring tool. Additionally, the importance of notifications, gamification, and personalization to was emphasized to enhance motivation and adherence.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlights the complexity of designing effective DHIs for CU. Personalization, robust motivational strategies, and an interactive design are crucial for the process' success. Collaboration between technology developers, healthcare professionals, and patients should be in the center of developing DHIs, with user perspectives being key to reaching practical and effective solutions.

Authors: Rai Harleen Kaur , Miller Morven , Leung Steve , Macleod Euan , Lennon Marilyn
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

3D technology can facilitate healthcare consultations by promoting a better understanding of information by patients and shared decision-making. However, little is yet known about the general public’s perspectives about the acceptability of such innovative technology and how it can best be adopted into routine healthcare consultations. There is a need to explore perceptions to avoid the risk of implementing 3D technologies that may not be acceptable or fit-for-purpose.

OBJECTIVE

To explore the patient and public perceptions of the use of 3D technology during healthcare consultations.

METHODS

This study adopted a citizen science approach using mixed methods to conduct (a) a short online survey with members of the public to gather a wide range of opinions regarding the use of various technologies for healthcare consultations (b) a longer online survey to explore perceived barriers and opportunities people report on the use of 3D technology and (c) telephone interviews with four patients who recently used 3D technology as part of their healthcare consultations.

RESULTS

Most participants did not have experience with using 3D technology however, people reported that they could see the potential benefits of such technology to facilitate healthcare consultations. They expressed positive perceptions towards how this might assist in comprehension of a diagnosis and discussing alternative treatment plans. They also mentioned potential benefits in relation to communication and shared decision making either with their healthcare provider and/or with their friends and family. There was a strong interest and willingness to use 3D technology in future healthcare consultations.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of 3D technology in healthcare settings is now an option but there is little research to date on how patients and the wider public might benefit from this. This qualitative study has shown that people are accepting of 3D technology being used in healthcare consultations and that there might be real benefits to the patient. These include improved individual and shared decision making around their treatment through the technology making disease and treatment options easier to understand for patients. Since 3D technology can still be expensive, the benefits to the patient and healthcare professionals need to be captured and quantified in terms of reduced travel, efficient use of time, and overall better quality of care and clinical outcomes.
Estudios del discurso y construcción de la identidad entre localidad y translocalidad epistemológica y metodológica: el discurso migratorio en los medios mexicanos como espacio comunicativo, relacional e identitario
Authors: Pfleger Sabine Regina
Published: August 2024

Los estudios del discurso que quieran hacer justicia a las interdependencias sociopolíticas, geográficas o incluso económicas entre circunstancias locales y translocales deben preguntarse cada vez más qué concepto de discurso se utiliza como base para las descripciones e interpretaciones. Un enfoque cognitivista del concepto de discurso permite entenderlo como un espacio complejo en el que las personas construyen sus mundos comunicativos, relacionales e identitarios. Este ensayo aborda cómo estos espacios discursivos tienen un carácter formador para identidades, tomando como ejemplo al discurso mediático mexicano sobre los movimientos migratorios entre México y Estados Unidos.
La duplicación del objeto indirecto en aprendientes de interpretación, ¿estructuras redundantes o informatividad discursiva?
Authors: Sánchez Ramírez Héctor Javier
Published: August 2024

La interpretación interlingüística ha sido una actividad que se realiza desde hace siglos, coadyuvando al desarrollo de las relaciones humanas independientemente de la diversidad lingüística alrededor del mundo. Esta actividad ha sido estudiada desde diversos enfoques, no obstante, hay un interés creciente de abordarla como un proceso psicolingüístico y cognitivo. Esta investigación analiza los discursos interpretados del inglés al español por aprendientes de interpretación desde una perspectiva psicolingüística, conjugando propuestas teóricas en torno al procesamiento psicolingüístico llevado a cabo por intérpretes, así como referentes a la duplicación del objeto indirecto (OI) en español. Los resultados se discuten en términos, por un lado, de la función informativa de carácter pragmático que aporta la duplicación del OI en los discursos interpretados y, por otro, de las condiciones estructurales y psicolingüísticas que motivan la duplicación de dicha función sintáctico-pragmática.

Authors: Gorbatenko O. А. , Borsukov A. V.
Published: August 2024

INTRODUCTION: The instrumental methods currently used are either ionizing or invasive, which prevents their potential application in dynamic monitoring. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can provide better assessment of renal blood flow.OBJECTIVE: Increasing the diagnostic and prognostic value of ultrasound using echo contrast in the early diagnosis of clinically significant angioedema in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2019 to 2023 On the basis of the Clinical Hospital No. 1 of Smolensk and the problem research laboratory «Diagnostic studies and minimally invasive technologies» of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education SSMU of the Ministry of Health of Russia, 166 people were examined (118 people — the main group (Group 1 — patients with type 2 diabetes without diabetic angioedema; group 2 — patients with type 2 diabetes with diabetic angioedema in the subcompensation stage; Group 3 — patients with type 2 diabetes with severe diabetic angioedema in the decompensation stage) and 48 people — the control group). All patients were examined according to a single diagnostic algorithm, which included 8 stages. Abstract methods — contrast-enhanced CT, dynamic nephroscintigraphy.DISCUSSION: Unlike CT and MRI, CEUS is not nephrotoxic, which allows it to be used in patients with reduced renal function, including for multiple dynamic monitoring. This is relevant for patients with type 2 diabetes, because as the disease progresses, it is important to assess preclinical signs of diabetic angioedema, namely, intrarenal blood flow. The use of CEUS in a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm for diabetic kidney disease makes it possible to identify preclinical changes in diabetic angioedema. CONCLUSION: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is a reliable and safe method of diagnosing kidney pathology, which allows predicting the clinical course of the underlying disease.
Inflationary Pressure and Revolutionary Destabilization: Impact Assessment and Comparative Analysis
Authors: Zhdanov Andrey , Korotayev Andrey
Published: August 2024

There are some theoretical grounds to expect that general inflation can have an ambiguous effect on the likelihood of the outbreak of revolutionary actions: while high inflation has a positive effect on revolutionary activity, moderate inflation reduces the likelihood of revolution, whereas negative inflation values again increase revolutionary activity. At the same time, many researchers suggest to treat separately food inflation as a significant predictor of the unfolding of revolutionary processes, because food inflation is a much more sensitive macroeconomic indicator that aggravates many social ills, such as poverty, protest sentiments, frustration, socio-economic shocks, etc. The authors, based on modern political science concepts and quantitative calculations, test the corresponding hypotheses. Using a rare event regression model and a set of control variables (the main factors of revolutions, according to modern political science research — GDP per capita, population, share of youth, urbanization, level of education, level of democracy) to obtain more reliable results, the authors come to the conclusion that the general level of inflation does not have a significant impact on the risks of revolutionary destabilization. On the other hand, food inflation does turn out to be a fairly reliable predictor of the beginning of the unfolding of revolutionary processes. Food inflation has a particularly strong impact on low-income groups, so it is powerful destabilizing factor in the least economically developed countries. Furthermore, regionally, food inflation may have the most powerful destabilizing effect in Africa (especially in African cities).

Published: August 2024

El objetivo de la presenta investigación fue analizar la calidad del sueño entre los policías entendiendo los factores que influyen en su satisfacción con el sueño. Para ello, se utilizó el Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI) como herramienta de recolección de datos. La muestra incluyó a un grupo de policías, cuyas respuestas permitieron identificar dos segmentos distintos en cuanto a la calidad del sueño. La metodología consistió en la aplicación del PSQI, un cuestionario ampliamente reconocido y validado para medir diversos aspectos del sueño, tales como la duración, la eficiencia, la latencia y las alteraciones del sueño. Los datos recolectados se segmentaron y analizaron para identificar patrones y diferencias significativas entre los participantes. Los resultados mostraron que existe un segmento de policías con alta satisfacción en la calidad del sueño, caracterizado por no tener dificultades para conciliar el sueño y sentir que su sueño es reparador. En contraste, el segundo segmento presentó problemas significativos para conciliar y mantener el sueño, resultando en una sensación de cansancio constante y dificultades para despertar. Las conclusiones del estudio sugieren la necesidad de implementar intervenciones específicas para mejorar la calidad del sueño entre los policías, especialmente aquellos en el segmento con baja satisfacción. Se recomienda llevar a cabo campañas de autocuidado que incluyan prácticas de ejercicio regular y estrategias de salario emocional, enfocadas en reducir el estrés laboral y mejorar el bienestar general de los policías. Estas medidas no solo mejorarían la calidad del sueño, sino que también contribuirían a un mejor desempeño laboral y a la salud integral de los oficiales.
A EDUCAÇÃO NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE EM REVISTAS DE PSICANÁLISE: ANÁLISE DA PRESENÇA DO “DISCURSO CAPITALISTA DE JACQUES LACAN”

Published: August 2024

Neste artigo apresentamos os resultados de uma pesquisa intitulada “(Im)Possível interlocução entre Psicanálise, Educação e Ensino: uma investigação em revistas de Psicanálise”, realizada em uma universidade pública brasileira, na qual procuramos analisar em revistas de psicanálise a presença/ausência de artigos que tem como tema a educação no sentido amplo do termo e, em específico, se procuram trazer para discussão o “discurso do capitalista”, no sentido lacaniano. Tendo como preocupação a influência que o discurso encontrado na contemporaneidade tem no cotidiano dos sujeitos, que muitas vezes dificultam ou até mesmo obstaculizam suas vidas, este trabalho procura verificar se há pesquisas, reflexões, ensaios que permitem pensar em possibilidades de construir caminhos de subjetivação que não conduzam à satisfação coletiva cujo valor maior é o consumo desenfreado e cada vez mais intenso e veloz daquilo que Lacan chamou de gadget. Trata-se de um instrumento criado ou potencializado pelo discurso do capitalismo que faz com que as pessoas vivam em função de mais produzir e mais consumir, levando a um falso tamponamento de conflitos e faltas de um passado remoto. Os resultados mostram que há trabalhos que apontam criticamente para este discurso, os quais podem ser considerados reflexos de outros setores da sociedade, além daqueles que lidam diariamente com a saúde, com a educação e com as pesquisas na academia.
Perspectives From Patients Using a Food Pantry in a Family Medicine Residency Clinic: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Schutz Lauren N. , Brown Steven R.
Published: August 2024

Background and Objectives: Food insecurity is common in patients receiving care in primary care offices. Some health systems and primary care offices provide food directly to food insecure patients. Our family medicine residency clinic started a food pantry to directly address this social determinant of health. We aimed to understand the reasons patients in primary care visited our food pantry and their impressions of food available directly in a primary care office.
Methods: We conducted semistructured interviews with 21 patients obtaining food from our food pantry. We recorded and transcribed the interviews, and analyzed them with an editing organizing style to highlight noteworthy segments, recognize patterns, and understand important themes.
Results: Patients reported numerous barriers to obtaining healthy food, including cost, transportation, and time. Life-changing events often led a patient to a food pantry, and patients often prioritized family members when addressing food insecurity. Food pantry users appreciated the convenience of obtaining food at a medical visit and felt supported by healthy food that aligned with a message received from their physician.
Conclusions: Food insecure patients face many barriers to obtaining healthy food. A colocated food pantry in a primary care office helps address barriers, is convenient, and is appreciated by patients using the service.

Determinants of financial performance of FinTechs in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries
Authors: AlBaker Yousef
Published: August 2024

The study determined the effect of size, equity, labour, loans, and deposits on the performance of the financial technology (FinTechs; return on assets — ROA and return on equity — ROE). Data on FinTech performance was collected from the Refinitive Eikon platform. As prior studies have found, variables such as size, equity, labour, loans, and deposits can impact the ROA and ROE (Abbasi et al., 2021; Akbar, 2021). Drawing upon prior work examining similar relationships at the firm level one, the research analyzes a sample of 148 FinTech from 10 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries from 2000–2022. Consistent with Abbasi et al.’s (2021) findings regarding FinTech adoption and efficiency, the impact of variables, including size, equity, loans, and deposits on returns, are evaluated. According to the study, it was clear that a rise in the company’s size led to a decline in its financial performance. The findings revealed that assets positively affected the performance of FinTechs across the different financial periods. Labour had a negative effect on the ROA across the OECD countries’ FinTechs, while loans positively affected the performance of the different FinTechs. From the study, there is a need for more collaborative research across academics, policymakers, and industry experts to better the outcomes.

Authors: Jin Huangkai , Zhou Jianxi
Published: August 2024

In the single-pass multilayer deposition process of laser wire additive manufacturing, variations in process parameters significantly influence the morphology of the deposited layer. This study experimentally investigates how the main process parameters (laser power, scanning speed, and wire feeding speed) affect the morphology of the deposited layer. It was found that each parameter has distinct effects on the geometrical morphology of deposition. Simultaneously, aiming to enhance the surface topography of the deposited layer and its bonding with the substrate, three optimization objectives are defined. An optimization model is then constructed using experimental data to refine the process parameters. The optimal parameters are determined through experimentation, resulting in significant enhancement of the deposited layer’s topography.

This study seeks to explore the uses, behaviors and perceptions of university students regarding mobile phones to help elucidate whether there is a relationship between the use of mobiles and the academic performance of university students. A quantitative approach based on an ad hoc questionnaire, applied before the pandemic, was used to gather evidence in this regard, which revealed the uses and educational visions of mobile phones in a convenience sample of 314 university students from nine different degree courses in two Spanish universities. Three major conclusions are formulated as part of future lines of development. First, although there is frequent use of mobile phones, the image of the mobile as a learning resource in the university classroom does not reach one-third of students. Second, although this study does not determine the causal relationship, there is a statistically significant negative relationship between average grades achieved and hours of dedication to the mobile phone. Finally, students who are unable to spend more than one hour without checking their phone obtain a significantly lower average mark than those who can stay more than one hour without checking their phone.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate outcomes and complication rate of utilizing a string-of-pearls (SOP) plate augmented with adjunctive fixation in the repair of canine femur fractures.

METHODS

Records of canine patients with mid-diaphyseal femoral fractures repaired with the SOP plate and adjunctive fixation were reviewed. Information retrieved from medical records included signalment, patient weight, fracture configuration, repair technique, healing time, and complications based on perioperative radiographic follow-up to clinical union. Forty client-owned dogs met inclusion criteria for this study. Variables analyzed for association with major complications included body weight, fracture configuration, repair technique, and adjunctive fixation.

RESULTS

Major complications requiring surgical revision occurred in 8 of 40 fractures. Five cases experienced intramedullary pin migration and were successfully treated with sedated pin removal. The remaining 3 cases involved implant failure via screw shear breakage and required surgical revision of the fixation to achieve a successful outcome. On the basis of a calculated Bonferroni correction, no statistical significance of the tested variables was found in association with major complications; however, significance was limited due to the low statistical power of this study.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of adjunctive fixation with the SOP locking plate system led to radiographic union without complication in most cases, and no instances of plate breakage were reported. However, implant complications secondary to the adjunctive fixation can occur.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Adjunctive fixation used with the SOP plate for repair of canine femur fractures has a high success rate, though pin migration as a complication persists.

Flexible piezoresistive sensor array has broad application prospects in human-computer interaction. However, due to the complexity of reality, it is difficult to balance flexibility and perceptual ability in the process of tactile perception. Presented herein is a 4 × 4 matrix of a piezoresistive tactile sensor (TS) that is both pliable and composed of a porous blend of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). This sensor matrix is endowed with characteristics like pliability, consistency, and acute sensitivity, which facilitate its adherence to various shaped surface profiles. It boasts a peak sensitivity of 0.6 kPa−1 and is capable of detecting pressures within a broad spectrum from 0 to 640 kPa. An in-depth examination has been undertaken to assess the TS array's response to pressure, encompassing aspects such as hysteresis and repeatability. In addition to this, a scanning system for the array has been constructed to promptly detect, digitize, and present the pressure applied. A neural network model for three-dimensional force decoupling has been established to analyze the real-time data emanating from the sensor matrix, thereby enabling the precise forecasting of the three-dimensional force exerted upon the array.

Published: August 2024

This article aims to design a subway investment management platform based on DL (Deep Learning) to improve subway projects' investment efficiency and risk management levels. The article adopted the DL algorithm to comprehensively analyze historical subway investment data and constructed prediction and risk assessment models to achieve this goal. The application effect of the DL algorithm in subway investment management and the practicality of the platform were verified through simulation experiments. This article first collected a large amount of historical subway investment data and processed and learned these data using the DL algorithm. By constructing an NN (Neural Network) model, accurate prediction of investment return rate and market demand for subway projects has been successfully achieved. Furthermore, a risk assessment model was also constructed to quantify and evaluate potential risks in subway projects. The experimental results indicate that the DL algorithm has significant prediction and risk assessment advantages. Compared with traditional statistical learning methods and machine learning algorithms, the DL algorithm can more accurately predict investment return and market demand, providing users with more reliable decision support. In addition, the risk assessment model effectively helps users understand the risk status of the project and formulate corresponding risk management measures.

Data mining (DM) technology is increasingly used in higher education, especially imaging education. The IEKMM model connects knowledge, problems, and abilities, addressing asymmetrical relationships and supporting network reasoning tasks. The SSME model preserves IEKMM’s semantic information, enhancing instruction quality and efficiency, and advancing personalized learning initiatives. Findings reveal that the distributed representation of entities and relationships, trained using the SSME (Semantic Symbol Mapping Embedding) model, effectively preserves the original semantic information of the IEKMM. This provides a foundation for implementing knowledge maps in educational settings and is crucial for advancing personalized learning initiatives.
