The relevance lies in the establishment of mineral forms of gold and silver in a new mineral type of gold-silver deposits, where the leading minerals are fluorite and quartz. Hence, the aim of the study was to study the mineral composition of the sulfide-quartz association, on which the fluorite-quartz mineralization of the Verkhnekruchininskоyе fluorite deposit is superimposed. The object of the study is the vein material of the Verkhnekruchininskоyе fluorite deposit, and the subject is the mineral composition of mineral aggregates for the detection of thin inclusions of silver and gold minerals, their chemical composition and paragenesis. The methodology included the manufacture of polished sections, thin sections and their study, using optical and electron microscopic methods, as well as traditional methods for studying the chemical composition of a mineral substance. A preliminary study of polished sections was carried out using a polarizing microscope. An electron microscopic study was carried out by the author – candidate of technical sciences, S. V. Kanakin, the head of the laboratory of the Geological Institute of the SB RAS. Results. The study of the mineral and chemical composition of the fluorite-quartz vein samples containing pyrite was carried out. Sulfides are found mainly in fragments of ferromuscovite-kaolinite-carbonate-quartz composition, which are in fluorite-quartz material. It also contains apatite, represented mainly by fluorine-apatite. For the first time, the features of the chemical composition of pyrite have been identified and the associated acanthite (AgS), which is allocated along its periphery, has been identified. Some pyrite crystals are characterized by their arsenicity (up to 0,63 %), sometimes accompanied by the presence of cobalt (up to 0,59 %) and nickel (up to 0,34 %). The same elements are also present in iron hydroxides developing along pyrite in the oxidation zone. The content (wt %) of iron in pyrite varies from 47,31 to 48,74, and sulfur from 51,26 to 52,84. Formula coefficients, respectively, vary from 1,02 to 1,06 for iron and from 1,94 to 1,98 for sulfur. A significant part of the pyrite crystals is oxidized and surrounded by thin rims of iron hydroxides. Pyrite contains petcite (Ag3 AuTe2) and acanthite (Ag2S). Petzite is found in pyrite in the form of inclusions of the smallest crystals, while acanthite is found in the outer zone of pyrite crystals. It forms a fine dissemination of 1...2,5 microns in size. Its chemical composition is usual. It contains (wt%) 87.82 - 87.88 Ag and 12,12...12,18 S. According to its formula Ag2.05 S0.95, the mineral is characterized by an excess of silver and a lack of sulfur. The combination of petcite and acanthite in the early clastic material with pyrite cemented by a quartz-fluorite aggregate unambiguously indicates the possibility of sulfide-fluorite-quartz shallow gold-silver mineralization

Published: January 2022

The article discusses the problems of the « Augmented Tumangan Initiative» (ATI) implementation in Northeast Asia from the position of the relative interests of the participating countries in the project, prospects for the formation of multilateral political dialogue, and also possible regional public goods that can be achieved both by an individual party and of the region as a whole. The article describes the role of transport communications in the development of the region, free economic zones created within the ATI, prospects for countries’ participation in the creation of a regional value chain. The authors have tried to apply a mathematical method of analysis, in particular Game Theory, to assess the strategic behavior of the RTI member countries in conditions of conflict of interests. The authors provide an analytical and predictive assessment of the multilateral relations development of the initiatives’ participants. The Augmented Tumangan Initiative, approved under the auspices of the United Nations Development Program based on The Tumannay River Area Development Program, is an intergovernmental mechanism for regional cooperation in Northeast Asia, in which four countries are currently participating: Russian Federation, People’s Republic of China, Mongolia and the Republic of Korea. The program bears the same name as the Tumangan River, which separates three border states: Russia, China and North Korea. Until 2009, North Korea was a part of the participants, but due to, as the North Korean side indicated, the lack of effectiveness of the project, it announced the termination of its participation. Japan initially did not join the ATI, since it considered the possible contribution of each of the countries that have different stages of economic development and, accordingly, different levels of financial potential will be unequal. It should also be noted that there are territorial disputes between the participants and the unstable situation on the Korean Peninsula. However, due to possible relative economic interests, each of the countries, including the DPRK and Japan, does not exclude the possibility of using the ATI site to obtain their own benefits
Actual directions of increasing the energy security of heat supply in the Russian Federation
Authors:   Baikal State University, Bergen D.
Published: January 2022

Strengthening international efforts to implement climate policy and accelerate the transition to a “green economy” is a modern challenge to the energy security of the Russian Federation. The enterprises of the fuel and energy complex (FEC) play a key role in the economy of the Russian Federation, but they have a continuous negative impact on the environment. The subject of the research is a set of theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of increasing the energy security of heat supply in the Russian Federation by replacing coal with more environmentally friendly fuels. The purpose of the study is to propose a way to improve the energy security of heat supply in the Russian Federation by replacing coal with more environmentally friendly fuels. The study has been carried out using a set of methods: comparative analysis, analysis of structure, financial analysis. Coal makes up about 80 % of the total amount of raw materials used to generate heat in the Irkutsk region. This has a significant impact on the degree of environmental pollution. There is a possibility of using part of production and consumption waste as an alternative fuel (RDF) for thermal power facilities in the Russian Federation to improve the energy security of heat supply. Fuel for the production of thermal energy can be obtained as a result of processing production and consumption waste. This will lead to a solution to the problem of garbage disposal. The problem in the field of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the Irkutsk region is aggravated by the fact that the waste processing complex, waste handling and waste sorting complexes are absent on the territory of the region. An analysis of the financial indicators of the incineration plant operating in the Russian Federation shows that the financial results of operations are negative for 2019, 2020. It is necessary to create state-owned enterprises for the production of steam and hot water in the Russian Federation using a combination of two types of fuel: biofuel and RDF to accelerate the modernization of heat supply sources

The main purpose of scientific intelligence is to identify and analyze the techniques and methods of improving the effectiveness of one of the most popular and pragmatic training courses. «Journalistic skills» is read as a theoretical course with a large number of practical ones, but this is clearly not enough, so we offer original methods of raising the level of journalistic activity, analysis of facts, based on the practice of domestic and foreign media. The article provides a solid historical digression; it is recommended to use the appropriate advice of generations of Ukrainian researchers on the professional discipline. The individual approach to the training and retraining of reporters and analysts in print and online publications is demonstrated by specific examples. The optimal ways of combining a theoretical course and practical work to improve journalistic skills in domestic universities and the media are proposed.
Effect of Substrate Stratification on Growth of Common Nursery Weed Species and Container-grown Ornamental Species
Authors: Khamare Yuvraj , Marble S. Christopher , Altland James E. , Pearson Brian J. , Chen Jianjun , Devkota Pratap
Published: January 2022

Substrate stratification is a method of filling nursery containers with “layers” of different substrates, or different textures of the same substrate. Recently, it has been proposed as a means to improve drainage, substrate moisture dynamics, and optimize nutrient use efficiency. Substrates layered with larger particle bark as the top portion and smaller particle bark as the bottom portion of the container profile would theoretically result in a substrate that dries quickly on the surface, thereby reducing weed germination, but that would also retain adequate moisture for crop growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of stratified substrates on the growth of common nursery weeds and ornamental crops. This study evaluated the use of coarser bark (<0.5 or 0.75 inches) as the top substrate and finer bark (<0.38 inches) as the bottom substrate with the goal of reducing the water-holding capacity in the top 2 to 3 inches of the substrate to reduce weed germination and growth. Results showed that substrate stratification with more coarse bark on the top decreased the growth of bittercress (Cardamine flexuosa) by 80% to 97%, whereas liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) coverage was reduced by 95% to 99%. Substrate stratification initially reduced the growth of ligustrum (Ligustrum japonicum) and blue plumbago (Plumbago auriculata), but there was no difference in the shoot or root dry weights of either species in comparison with those of nonstratified industry standard substrates at the end of 24 weeks. The data suggest substrate stratification could be used as an effective weed management strategy for container nursery production.
Half-wormholes in SYK with one time point
Authors: Mukhametzhanov Baurzhan
Published: January 2022

In this note we study the SYK model with one time point, recently considered by Saad, Shenker, Stanford, and Yao. Working in a collective field description, they derived a remarkable identity: the square of the partition function with fixed couplings is well approximated by a ``wormhole'' saddle plus a ``pair of linked half-wormholes'' saddle. It explains factorization of decoupled systems. Here, we derive an explicit formula for the half-wormhole contribution. It is expressed through a hyperpfaffian of the tensor of SYK couplings. We then develop a perturbative expansion around the half-wormhole saddle. This expansion truncates at a finite order and gives the exact answer. The last term in the perturbative expansion turns out to coincide with the wormhole contribution. In this sense the wormhole saddle in this model does not need to be added separately, but instead can be viewed as a large fluctuation around the linked half-wormholes.

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND APPLICATION OF Ca-MOFs IN THE REMOVAL OF METHYLENE BLUE VIA ADSORPTION. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on Calcium-terephthalate(Ca-MOFs) were synthesized by the sonochemical method and applied to remove methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution via adsorption. The samples were prepared and characterized by X-ray Powder Diffraction (PXRD), Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Thermal Analysis (TGA-DTA), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The studied of the effect of the synthesis temperature on the crystallization of MOFs indicated two different crystal structures were identified, Ca(BDC) and Ca(BDC)(H2O)3. Observed that samples with a higher proportion of the Ca(BDC) phase showed greater dye adsorption capacity. The experimental data fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms, and the isotherm constants were also determined. The adsorption equilibrium data preferably fit the Freundlich model. The samples were applied to methylene blue adsorption at pH 5.6, with maximum adsorption of 60.241 μmol.g-1 and high reuse efficiency, reaching 97% of the initial adsorption capacity in the second reuse cycle.

Authors: Parker A. H. , Nyangoka J. , Rodrigues I. , Yadav B. , Le Corre K. S. , Campo P. , Quinn R.
Published: January 2022

‘Multiple-use services’ (MUS) takes into account the fact that households use water for both domestic and for productive uses. This paper is the first to determine how managed aquifer recharge (MAR) systems are a form of MUS. Two cases were studied in India and in Kenya. In the Kenyan case, sand dams are the form of MAR, and in India check dams and infiltration ponds of various scales are used. Through observations, interviews, and water quality data, it is possible to describe how the communities access the water from these infrastructures in multiple ways for different uses, according to their water needs and the characteristics of the different access points. MAR involves harvesting rainwater and retaining run-off water into the dry season thus increasing the amount of available water and enabling diversification of water uses. It should therefore be considered as an option by water managers aiming to develop water resources meeting both the domestic and productive needs of communities.

Microsponges delivery systems (MDS) are highly porous, cross-linked polymeric systems that activate
due to temperature, pH, or when rubbed. MDS offer a wide range of advantages, like controlled drug release,
site-specific action, stability over a broad range of pH, less irritation, cost-effectiveness, and improved
patient compliance. They can be transformed into various dosage forms like creams, gels, and lotions. MDS are
suitable for the treatment of topical disorders like acne, psoriasis, dandruff, eczema, scleroderma, hair loss, skin
cancer, and other dreadful diseases. The applications of MDS in drug delivery are not limited to topical drug
delivery but are also explored for oral, parenteral, and pulmonary drug deliveries. Microsponges have been
studied for colon targeting of drugs and genes. Additionally, MDS have several applications such as sunscreen,
cosmetics, and over-the-counter (OTC) products. Furthermore, MDS do not actuate any irritation, genotoxicity,
immunogenicity, or cytotoxicity. Therefore, this review extensively highlights microsponges, their advantages,
key factors affecting their characteristics, their therapeutic applications in topical disorders and in cancer, their
use as cosmetics, as well as recent advances in MDS and the associated challenges.
Adipose Tissue-Mesenchymal Stem Cells Caused to Change the
Methylation Status of hTERT Gene Promoter CpG Islands of Molt-4
Leukemia Cells as Cell-based Therapy
Authors: Fathi Ezzatollah , Montazersaheb Soheila , Vandghanooni Somayeh , Farahzadi Raheleh , Vietor Ilja
Published: January 2022

Background:

DNA methylation was considered as prognostic information in
some hematological malignancies. Previous studies have reported the in vitro and in
vivo biology role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on leukemic cells. The aim of this
study was to investigate the effect of MSCs on the promoter methylation status of
hTERT as a catalytic subunit of telomerase enzyme.

Methods:

In the experimental study, the Molt-4 leukemic cells were co-cultured with
MSCs for 7 days. At the end of the co-culture period, the Molt-4 cells were collected,
DNA and protein were extracted. Then methylation specific-PCR and western blotting
were done for evaluating the hTERT gene promoter methylation status and cyclin D1
and hTERT protein expression, respectively. In the following, the flow cytometry was
done for cell cycle distribution assay.

Results:

It was found that MSCs resulted in a significant decrease in the cyclin D1 and
hTERT protein expression levels. Also, MSCs caused changes in the methylation status
of the CpG islands in the hTERT gene promoter region. The following results showed
that MSCs caused a significant increase in the number of cells at G0/G1 phase and
arrest the G0/G1 phase as well as decrease in the cell proliferation of Molt-4 cells.

Conclusion:

It is concluded that co-culture of MSCs with Molt-4 cells could be involved
in changing the methylation status of hTERT gene promoter, cell cycle and hTERT
protein expression; it could be potentially beneficial for further investigations regarding
the cell transplantation and cell-based therapy.

Authors: Zhao Ying-Jia , Ma Xi , Zheng Ya-Ting , Zuo Zi-Wei , Xu Ying-Jin , Wang Jia-Ning , Yin Xiao-Ping , Gao Bu-Lang
Published: January 2022

Background and Aim:

The study aims to investigate the feasibility of further radiation
dose reduction via the application of a high iodine delivery rate combined with automatic current
modulation technology (high noise index) in head and neck computed tomography angiography.

Methods:

Sixty-four patients who underwent routine head and neck computed tomographic angiography
were randomly divided into two groups: a low-dose group of 32 cases and an ultra-low-dose
group of 32 cases. The same image reconstruction technique was applied in both groups using the
50% adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction method. Quantitative and qualitative image quality
assessment of the carotid artery, computed tomographic dose index volume, dose length product,
and effective dose of the two groups were analyzed.

Results:

The two groups were not significantly (P>0.05) different in age, gender, and body mass index.
Significant (P<0.001) reduction of radiation dose was observed in all the parameters of computed
tomographic dose index volume (18.12%), dose length product (19.91%), and effective dose
(19.84%) in the ultra-low-dose group. Quantitative and qualitative image assessment produced similar
results between the two groups, except for the higher mean vascular computed tomographic values
found in the ultra-low dose group.

Conclusions:

Application of a higher iodine delivery rate combined with automatic current modulation
technology (high noise index) in an existing low tube voltage protocol can further decrease the
radiation dose and the total volume of contrast agent while maintaining similar image quality for
patients undergoing computed tomography angiography of the head and neck, which can be recommended
as the conventional scanning method.
Role of KSP Inhibitors as Anti-Cancer Therapeutics: An Update
Authors: Chamariya Rinkal , Suvarna Vasanti
Published: January 2022

Regardless of the growing discovery of anticancer treatments targeting cancer-specific pathways, cytotoxic
therapy still maintained its abundant clinical significance because tumours harbor a greater population of actively dividing
cells than normal tissues. Conventional anti-mitotic agents or microtubule poisons acting on the major mitotic
spindle protein tubulin have been effectively used in clinical settings for cancer chemotherapy over the last three decades.
However, the use of these drugs is associated with limited clinical utility due to serious side effects such as debilitating
and dose-limiting peripheral neuropathy, myelosuppression, drug resistance, and allergic reactions. Therefore,
research initiatives have been undertaken to develop novel microtubule motor proteins inhibitors that can potentially
circumvent the limitations associated with conventional microtubule poisons. Kinesin spindle proteins (KSP) belonging
to the kinesin-5 family play a crucial role during mitosis and unregulated cell proliferation. Evidence from preclinical
studies and different phases of clinical trials have presented kinesin spindle protein as a promising target for cancer
therapeutics. Kinesin spindle protein inhibitors causing mitosis disruption without interfering with microtubule dynamics
in non-dividing cells offer a potential therapeutic alternative for the management of several major cancer types and
are devoid of side effects associated with classical anti-mitotic drugs. This review summarizes recent data highlighting
progress in the discovery of targeted KSP inhibitors and presents the development of scaffolds, structure-activity relationships,
and outcomes of biological and enzyme inhibition studies. We reviewed the recent literature reports published
over the last decade, using various electronic database searches such as PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of
Science, and Google Scholar. Clinical trial data till 2021 was retrieved from ClinicalTrial.gov. Major chemical classes
developed as selective KSP inhibitors include dihydropyrimidines, β-carbolines, carbazoles, benzimidazoles, fused aryl
derivatives, pyrimidines, fused pyrimidines, quinazolines, quinolones, thiadiazolines, spiropyran, and azobenzenes.
Drugs such as filanesib, litronesib, ispinesib have entered clinical trials; the most advanced phase explored is Phase II.
KSP inhibitors have exhibited promising results; however, continued exploration is greatly required to establish the
clinical potential of KSP inhibitors.
Do Cytokines Associate Periodontitis with Metabolic Disorders? An Overview of Current Documents
Authors: Aref Nezhad Reza , Motedayyen Hossein , Roghani-Shahraki Hossein
Published: January 2022

Periodontitis is an oral chronic inflammatory condition affecting the adult population worldwide. Many microorganisms act as initiators for inducing inflammatory immune responses, which participate in the destruction of connective tissue surrounding the teeth, thereby resulting in tooth loss. Cytokines may have indispensable roles in its pathogenesis by enhancing inflammatory and immune responses. Cytokines can affect the functions of some cells of different tissues, such as the cells of the pancreas, liver, and adipose tissues. Evidence suggests that periodontitis is associated with metabolic disorders like liver cirrhosis, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. Hence, this review focused on determining how cytokines can participate in the correlation of periodontitis with metabolic disorders.

Pests, such as cockroaches, thrive in polluted conditions that are detrimental to Homo sapiens, suggesting that such species possess mechanisms to protect them-selves against pathogens. Besides their immunity to fight pathogens, we hypothesize that the microbial gut flora of pests produces antimicrobials to thwart communicable diseases. It is proposed that the search for new antimicrobials originating from unusual sources will generate useful leads in the identification of new anti-infective agents.

O almoxarifado de afetos
Authors: Manzoni Filipe
Published: January 2022

The main goal of this research is an investigation of the fondness for pop-mass culture by some Brazilian contemporary poets. This will be unfolded in two main scenarios: first, through the proposition of a temporal constitution of the weaving of different (and anachronistic) communities of reception, gathered together in a great pop-massive archive of the common time. Thereafter, this paper will canvass what Marcelo Montenegro suggests as a “warehouse of fondness”, as a specific borderline zone between the concept of archive and the one of writing of self. Finally, it will try to situate this scenario as a privileged one for reframing one important image for the theory of the contemporary.
Os arquivos do luto e as lições patéticas: uma educação sentimental em Anne Carson

Published: January 2022

This article’s goal is to demonstrate Anne Carson’s practice of translation as a research activity in the “archives of grief”. It explains how this research results not only in products (the translated texts), but also in a set of “pathetic lessons”, teaching something about the pathos and reinforming the ethos. The article also includes an exposition on Carson’s rereading of Walter Benjamin’s theory of the translation, with which she conceives translation as a hearing of the original’s ruin. The object of analy-sis includes some of Carson’s essays and some of her translations of classical tragedies, the ones in Grief Lessons, with Euripides plays, as well as Antigonick, Carson’s translation of Sophocles’ Antigone.
Em defesa do corpo, em defesa da voz: a situação da performance vocal do poema e de sua investigação
Authors: Matos Lucas de Mello Cabral e
Published: January 2022

The main purpose of this article is to understand the lack of importance given to research and critical thinking regarding the vocal performance of poems in studies of Brazilian poetry. In this sen-se, it’s important to recognize that our context is still centered in a world view that can be characterized as graphocentrism or scriptsm. The immediate consequence of such is that we lack proper tools to cate-gorize, historicize, archive, and, in summon, critique vocal performances produced by Brazilian contem-porary poets. Thus, it’s important to establish that, from critical, methodological and historical points of view, the most important research on vocal performance is yet to be made. The article closes with an analysis of a vocal performance, using criteria adequate to an oral based medium, as an example of the possibilities entangled in the research and critical thinking of vocal performance to understand different aspects of contemporary poetry

Infocomunicação em museus : uma reflexão à luz do paradigma da complexidade de Edgar Morin
Authors: Andrez Bárbara
Published: January 2022

This reflection intends to introduce, in a succinct way, a systemic approach to infocommunication in the context of museological institutions. Grounded on the premise that museological actions and exhibition mechanisms are not neutral activities, but relevant for the representation and communication of the relationships established between societies and eras that rely upon the exhibited objects, one reflects on their importance and adequacy. Based on Edgar Morin's paradigm of complexity, a first statement of possible factors - internal and external - that influence the information and communication processes inside and outside museums is uttered, as well as the identification of some relationships and potential axes of action.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Hyptis suaveolens es una planta bien conocida en América Latina por sus propiedades medicinales. A pesar de sus diversos usos en la medicina tradicional, hay pocos reportes de su composición química. Además, se conoce su actividad contra bacterias que afectan al ser humano, pero existen pocos reportes acerca de su actividad sobre bacterias fitopatógenas, específicamente sobre aquellas que afectan cultivos. En este contexto los principales objetivos de este trabajo fueron determinar la actividad antibacteriana de hojas de H. suaveolens en bacterias fitopatógenas y su perfil fenólico, con el fin de contribuir al conocimiento de la composición fitoquímica y bioactividad de H. suaveolens para aplicaciones fitosanitarias.Métodos: El material vegetal fue colectado y las partes aéreas se secaron, molieron y extrajeron con metanol. El extracto crudo fue probado contra dos cepas bacterianas fitopatógenas (Chryseobacterium sp. y Pseudomonas sp.). Finalmente, se identificaron y cuantificaron compuestos fenólicos utilizando cromatografía de líquidos de ultra alta resolución acoplada a espectrometría de masas. Resultados clave: El extracto crudo de H. suaveolens mostró una actividad antibacteriana moderada en contra de Chryseobacterium sp., y se identificaron y cuantificaron 14 compuestos fenólicos, destacando al ácido rosmarínico, el cual mostró ser el más abundante, seguido de quercetina-3-glucósido y rutina. Seis compuestos fenólicos fueron identificados y cuantificados por primera vez en H. suaveolens.Conclusiones: En este estudio se demostró la actividad antibacteriana de las hojas de H. suaveolens y su correlación con la identificación y cuantificación de 14 compuestos fenólicos, particularmente con la presencia del ácido rosmarínico.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the perceptions of school-based service delivery in speech-language pathology (SLP) among parents of children with and without language difficulties.Methods: A questionnaire was developed to examine the parental perceptions of and desires for school-based service delivery in SLP. The survey was administered to 55 parents of children with language difficulties and 97 parents of children without language difficulties among parents of children in kindergarten and elementary school.Results: First, parents of children with language difficulties perceived that their children’s language skills had an impact on their academic performance and their peer relationships, while parents of children without language difficulties perceived that their children’s language skills had an impact on their academic performance but not their peer relationships. Second, both groups of parents recognized that school-based SLPs were needed to boost their children’s academic performance and social communication skills. They also wanted the service to be delivered within their children’s school curriculum on a regular basis. Third, each group of parents expected that school-based SLPs would help their children in different areas.Conclusions: The results of this study are expected to serve as guidance for the development of school-based service delivery in SLP.

Published: January 2022

Background

The use of mobile health (mHealth) apps is increasing rapidly worldwide. More and more institutions and organizations develop regulations and guidelines to enable an evidence-based and safe use. In Germany, mHealth apps fulfilling predefined criteria (Digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen [DiGA]) can be prescribed and are reimbursable by the German statutory health insurance scheme. Due to the increasing distribution of DiGA, problems and barriers should receive special attention.

Objective

This study aims to identify the relevant problems and barriers related to the use of mHealth apps fulfilling the criteria of DiGA.

Methods

This scoping review will follow published methodological frameworks and the PRISMA-Scr (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) criteria. Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and JMIR), reference lists of relevant articles, and grey literature sources will be searched. Two reviewers will assess the eligibility of the articles by a two-stage (title and abstract as well as full text) screening process. Only problems and barriers related to mHealth apps fulfilling the criteria of DiGA are included for this research. The identified studies will be categorized and analyzed with MAXQDA.

Results

This scoping review gives an overview of the available evidence and identifies research gaps regarding problems and barriers related to DiGA. The results are planned to be submitted to an indexed, peer-reviewed journal in the first quarter of 2022.

Conclusions

This is the first review to identify the problems and barriers related to the use of mHealth apps fulfilling the German definition of DiGA. Nevertheless, the findings can be applied to other contexts and health care systems as well.

Published: January 2022

Background

The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has affected mental health among workers. Psychoeducational intervention via a website could be effective for primary prevention of mental illness among workers in the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effect of a newly developed online psychoeducational website named Imacoco Care on reducing psychological distress and fear about COVID-19 infection among workers.

Methods

Participants in the study were recruited from registered members of a web survey company in Japan. Participants who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group were invited to access the Imacoco Care program within a month after the baseline survey. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) scores were obtained at baseline and at 1- and 3-month follow-ups.

Results

A total of 1200 workers were randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups (n=600 [50%] per group). The Imacoco Care intervention group showed a significant favorable effect on K6 scores (P=.03) with a small effect size (ES; Cohen d=–0.14) and an adverse effect on FCV-19S scores (P=.01) with a small ES (Cohen d=0.16) at 3-month follow-up. In the per protocol analysis (including only participants who had read the Imacoco Care content at least 1 time), the Imacoco Care intervention group also showed a significant favorable effect on reducing K6 scores (P=.03), while an adverse effect on FCV-19S scores was not significant (P=.06) in the intervention group at 3-month follow-up.

Conclusions

A web-based psychoeducation approach may be effective for improving psychological distress among workers; however, it may be important not only to distribute information but also to encourage active engagement with the content of the program to prevent adverse effects of psychoeducational intervention.

Background

On December 3, 2020, district health authorities reported 15 suspected cases of gastroenteritis, including 4 deaths, from Village Bachal Soomro after a mourning ceremony.

Objective

Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (FELTP) fellows investigated the suspected outbreak, with the objective to determine the magnitude of the outbreak and to evaluate associated risk factors.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted on December 3, 2020, at Village Bachal Soomro. The complete cohort was traced back, and a pretested structured questionnaire was adopted to obtain demographic, clinical, and risk factor information. A case was defined as “any individual who attended the mourning ceremony at Village Bachal Soomro on December 3, 2020, and presented with any of the following symptoms: diarrhea, abdominal pain/cramps, and drowsiness.” Descriptive analysis followed by multiple logistic regression was performed. Different blood, stool, oropharyngeal swab, drinking water, and milk samples were sent for microbiological and chemical investigation.

Results

Of 61 participants, 32 (52%) were males and the median age was 23 years (range 1-70 years). The overall attack rate was 72%, while the most affected age group was 10-19 years, with an attack rate of 85%. The majority of cases presented with diarrhea (47/61, 77%), followed by abdominal pain (44/61, 72%), vomiting (43/61, 70%), body ache (29/61, 48%), drowsiness (10/61, 16%), and fever (4/61, 7%). Among all food items, dessert had the highest food-specific attack rate of 90%. Among all risk factors, consumption of dessert (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 61.3, 95% CI 6.1-613.1), water (aOR 23.9, 95% CI 2.0-276.7), and buffalo milk (aOR 7.9, 95% CI 1.22-51.8) were found to be significantly associated with the attack. Distribution of cases showed a common point source that was probably due to a single pathogen source.

Conclusions

Dessert was prepared 10-12 hours prior to meal intake, so the outbreak was probably caused by dessert prepared with contaminated milk and water, with enterotoxins of Staphylococcus aureus. Community awareness of personal hygiene, proper storage/preservation of food items, and provision of safe drinking water are suggested.
