Published: May 2024

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have become widely applied in the field of medical research. In the process of conducting systematic reviews, similar tools can be used to expedite various steps, including defining clinical questions, performing the literature search, document screening, information extraction, and language refinement, thereby conserving resources and enhancing efficiency. However, when using LLMs, attention should be paid to transparent reporting, distinguishing between genuine and false content, and avoiding academic misconduct. In this viewpoint, we highlight the potential roles of LLMs in the creation of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, elucidating their advantages, limitations, and future research directions, aiming to provide insights and guidance for authors planning systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Authors: Schläpfer Sonja , Schneider Fabian , Santhanam Prabhakaran , Eicher Manuela , Kowatsch Tobias , Witt Claudia M , Barth Jürgen
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Mobile health (mHealth) apps offer unique opportunities to support self-care and behavior change, but poor user engagement limits their effectiveness. This is particularly true for fully automated mHealth apps without any human support. Human support in mHealth apps is associated with better engagement but at the cost of reduced scalability.

OBJECTIVE

This work aimed to (1) describe the theory-informed development of a fully automated relaxation and mindfulness app to reduce distress in people with cancer (CanRelax app 2.0), (2) describe engagement with the app on multiple levels within a fully automated randomized controlled trial over 10 weeks, and (3) examine whether engagement was related to user characteristics.

METHODS

The CanRelax app 2.0 was developed in iterative processes involving input from people with cancer and relevant experts. The app includes evidence-based relaxation exercises, personalized weekly coaching sessions with a rule-based conversational agent, 39 self-enactable behavior change techniques, a self-monitoring dashboard with gamification elements, highly tailored reminder notifications, an educational video clip, and personalized in-app letters. For the larger study, German-speaking adults diagnosed with cancer within the last 5 years were recruited via the web in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Engagement was analyzed in a sample of 100 study participants with multiple measures on a micro level (completed coaching sessions, relaxation exercises practiced with the app, and feedback on the app) and a macro level (relaxation exercises practiced without the app and self-efficacy toward self-set weekly relaxation goals).

RESULTS

In week 10, a total of 62% (62/100) of the participants were actively using the CanRelax app 2.0. No associations were identified between engagement and level of distress at baseline, sex assigned at birth, educational attainment, or age. At the micro level, 71.88% (3520/4897) of all relaxation exercises and 714 coaching sessions were completed in the app, and all participants who provided feedback (52/100, 52%) expressed positive app experiences. At the macro level, 28.12% (1377/4897) of relaxation exercises were completed without the app, and participants’ self-efficacy remained stable at a high level. At the same time, participants raised their weekly relaxation goals, which indicates a potential relative increase in self-efficacy.

CONCLUSIONS

The CanRelax app 2.0 achieved promising engagement even though it provided no human support. Fully automated social components might have compensated for the lack of human involvement and should be investigated further. More than one-quarter (1377/4897, 28.12%) of all relaxation exercises were practiced without the app, highlighting the importance of assessing engagement on multiple levels.

UNSTRUCTURED

Personalised skincare recommendations may be beneficial for treating mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris (AV). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel machine learning approach in predicting the optimal treatment for mild-to-moderate AV based on self-assessment and objective measures. A randomised, evaluator-blinded, parallel-group study was conducted on 100 patients recruited from an online database and randomised in a 1:1 ratio (groups A and B) based on their consent form submission. Groups A and B received customised product recommendations using a Bayesian machine learning model and self-selected treatments, respectively. The patients submitted self-assessed disease scores and photographs after the 8-week treatment. The primary and secondary outcomes were photograph evaluation by two board-certified dermatologists using the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scores and quality of life (QoL) measured using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), respectively. Overall, 99 patients were screened, and 68 patients (mean age: 27 years) were randomised into groups A and B. IGA scores significantly improved after treatment in group A but not in group B. DLQI significantly improved in group A from 7.75 at baseline to 3.5 after treatment but reduced in group B from 7.53 to 5.3. IGA scores and DLQI significantly correlated in group A, but not in group B. Adverse reactions were reported in group B, but none in group A. Using a machine learning model for personalised skincare recommendations significantly reduced symptoms and improved severity and overall QoL of patients with mild-to-moderate AV, supporting the potential of machine learning-based personalised treatment options in dermatology.
Effects of Carbon Fiber on Mechanical Properties of Reactive Powder Concrete
Authors: Helmi Masdar , Alraimi Ala Ali Qasem
Published: May 2024

The use of fiber generally might change the mechanical properties of concrete in flexural or compressive strength. Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is one of the ultra-high-performance concrete types that has been applied for some constructions. Carbon fiber, having high strength in tensile, also has the potency to improve the physical characteristics of RPC. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural and compressive performance of RPC, focusing on the interfacial binding of carbon fiber. Flexural and compressive tests used samples with dimensions of 40 x 40 x 160 mm were tested in accordance with BS-EN-196-1:2011, which allows to use one of the two broken pieces from the flexural test as the sample. The microstructure surrounding carbon fiber and paste was qualitatively compared using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in the secondary electron detector mode. Samples were subjected to static pressure at 8 MPa after 1 hour of pouring and heat curing at 240 °C in a dry oven after demolding. Results show that the presence of carbon fiber increased the flexural strength of RPC by up to 28.85% for samples without treatments and up to 14.32% for samples with both treatments. Although carbon fiber increased toughness by 20% and flexural modulus by 6%, it had no effect on the failure mode after reaching the peak load, which remained brittle. On the other hand, the presence of carbon fiber had little effect on compressive strength. Despite the pressure and heat, curing treatments had no effect on enhancing the adhesion between carbon fiber and cement paste, which was indicated by theundamaged surface of carbon fiber. However, the implementation of both treatments on samples might produce RPC with good mechanical properties in flexure.

Authors: Vidal-Correa Fernanda
Published: May 2024

La inclusión financiera ha cobrado prominencia como un área crucial para impulsar el crecimiento económico, reducir la pobreza y mejorar la movilidad social. Para los inmigrantes latinoamericanos, al igual que otros grupos, existen desafíos significativos para una inclusión plena, como lo son el acceso limitado a servicios financieros, barreras lingüísticas y culturales. Para las mujeres, dentro de estas comunidades, se suman obstáculos adicionales relacionados con las desigualdades de género, como la menor alfabetización financiera y las oportunidades laborales restringidas [Abokyi, 2023; Akeju, 2022; Demir et al., 2022; Lee et al., 2022; Ogunleye, 2017].
La investigación sobre inclusión financiera entre poblaciones migrantes ha sido principalmente cuantitativa, con poca atención a las experiencias individuales. Por tanto, surge la necesidad de investigaciones cualitativas que profundicen en los factores que contribuyen a las diferencias en la inclusión financiera entre estos grupos.
Este estudio se enfoca en las experiencias de mujeres mexicanas emprendedoras en Francia, explorando cómo utilizan los servicios financieros para administrar sus negocios. Se emplea un enfoque cualitativo mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas para recopilar datos en profundidad sobre sus perspectivas y experiencias.
Guiado por un marco teórico basado en determinantes sociales, el estudio identifica factores individuales, comunitarios y estructurales que influyen en la inclusión financiera. Se resalta el enfoque conservador hacia el crédito, prefiriendo la autofinanciación y el ahorro, así como las barreras culturales y de género que enfrentan en el emprendimiento, como la discriminación en negociaciones con proveedores y la apertura de cuentas bancarias comerciales.

Enhanced Detection of Credit Card Fraud Using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Doshi Nishant , Chillarge Geetha , Shekapure Swati
Published: May 2024

Abstract: As the number of credit card transactions continues to grow, they represent an increasing share of the global payment system. This growth has led to an increase in stolen account numbers and subsequent losses to banks. Machine Learning (ML) plays a crucial role in detecting credit card fraud in both online and offline transactions. Credit card fraud detection, which is a data mining problem, becomes challenging for two main reasons: first, the characteristics of normal and fraudulent behavior are continually changing, and second, the credit card fraud dataset is highly asymmetric. This study proposes an ensemble approach for accurately detecting credit card fraud transactions based on various ML algorithms and compares the performance of each algorithm with the proposed model. The results indicate that the proposed Ensemble model without SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique) outperforms all other methods, achieving a 99.94% accuracy rate..

Authors: Wei Qing , Chen Xun , Li Yan , Li Chunyan , Zhang Xiaobo , Nong Guangmin , Liu Jing
Published: May 2024

Background Respiratory infection is a common trigger for the
episode of alveolar hemorrhage in the pediatric diffuse alveolar
hemorrahge (DAH). Whereas, a futher detailed study hasn’t been
conducted. The aim of this study was to explore the etiological
spectrum, clinical features, treatment strategies and outcomes of the
respiratory infection induced episode of alveolar hemorrhage (RIIEAH) in
the pediatric DAH. Methods The cases of pediatric DAH who had
RIIEAH and a definite etiological diagnosis were included. A
retrospective study was conducted. Results 1. A total of 16
cases with 21 RIIEAHs were included. Twelve RIIEAHs occurred at the
unstable stage, 6 RIIEAHs occurred at the stable stage and 3 RIIEAHs
occurred at the end stage. All the RIIEAHs with respiratory failure
(n=5) and requirment of invasive mechanical ventilation (n=3) occurred
at the unstable or end stage. 2. In the majority of the RIIEAHs (n=19),
etiological diagnosis was identified by detecting the nucleic acid of
the pathogens. Of these, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was the most
commonly used specimen in 12 RIIEAHs. The majority of the RIIEAHs (n=19)
were caused by a single pathogen including mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) in
7 RIIEAHs, coronavirus (CoV) in 3 RIIEAHs, haemophilus influenzae (Hi)
in 3 RIIEAHs, chlamydia pneumoniae in 2 RIIEAHs, human metapneumovirus
in 2 RIIEAHs, acinetobacter baumannii in 1 RIIEAH and pueumocystis
carinii in 1 RIIEAH. The rest 2 RIIEAHs were caused by the mixed
pathogens including klebsiella pneumoniae and streptococcus pneumoniae
in 1 RIIEAH, rhinovirus and CoV in 1 RIIEAH. 3. The majority of the
RIIEAHs (n=19) presented with prodromal symptoms and most of them (n=15)
occurred within 3 days from the prodromal symptoms. Either worsening
anemia or hemoptysis was found in 13 RIIEAHs and dyspnea was found in 9
RIIEAHs. All the 12 RIIEAHs in which bronchosopy had been performed
presented with bleeding on bronchoscopy. 4. An intensive glucocorticoid
therapy was administrated in the 19 RIIEAHs and a targeted
anti-infection treatment was administrated in the 11 RIIEAHs. The
majority of the RIIEAHs (n=19) resolved, whereas there was 1 case death.
Conclusions 1. RIIEAH could be caused by a varity of pathogens
and could occur at any disease stage of pediatric DAH. 2. It usually
occurred at the early stage of respiratory infection and presented with
worsening anemia or hemoptysis. 3. Bronchoscopy had a good diagnostic
value for RIIEAH and idenifying the etiology. 4. An intensive
glucocorticoid therapy seemed to be effective and necessary.
Ideal convergence of multiset sequences
Authors: Demir Nihal , Gümüş Hafize
Published: May 2024

Although elements are written only once in classical set theory, it is
possible to find many examples in daily life where an element is repeated
more than once in a set and each repetition is indispensable. This situation
is an indication of how important multisets are. On the other hand, ideal
convergence is a type of convergence that generalizes many convergence
types, and it is quite interesting how this convergence type can be defined
for multiset sequences and what properties it will provide. For this
purpose, in this paper we introduce the ideal convergence of multiset
sequences and we investigate some basic algebraic and topological properties
of a multiset sequences.
Long-term Neurobehavioral and Metabolic Outcomes in Offspring of Mothers With Diabetes During Pregnancy: A Large, Population-Based Cohort Study in Ontario, Canada
Authors: Feig Denice S. , Artani Azmina , Asaf Ayesha , Li Ping , Booth Gillian L. , Shah Baiju R.
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

Offspring of women with diabetes are at increased risk of developing neurobehavioral and cardiometabolic disorders, but there is scant evidence regarding the association between glycemic level during pregnancy and these long-term offspring outcomes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a population-based, cohort study of deliveries in Ontario between April 1991 and March 2018. Women had preexisting diabetes, gestational diabetes, or no diabetes. We applied a Cox proportional hazard model to examine the risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and cardiometabolic outcomes in offspring and assessed the association between pregnancy HbA1c levels and risk of outcomes, adjusting for confounders.

RESULTS

A total of 3,407,961 mother-infant pairs were followed up to 29 years. Using a Cox proportional hazard model, offspring of women with type 1 diabetes had the highest risk of ADHD (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.43 [95% CI 1.36–1.49]), ASD (aHR 1.94 [1.80–2.09]), diabetes (aHR 4.73 [4.34–5.16]), hypertension (aHR 2.32 [2.07–2.61]), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (aHR 1.72 [1.56–1.90]), followed by offspring of women with type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes compared with those unexposed. Among women with preexisting diabetes, there was an association between level of pregnancy HbA1c and offspring diabetes (aHR 1.22 [95% CI 1.12–1.32]), hypertension (aHR 1.42 [1.29–1.57]), and CVD (aHR 1.20 [1.11–1.29]) but no statistically significant association with neurobehavioral outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

In utero exposure to maternal diabetes was associated with an increase in ADHD, ASD, and cardiometabolic outcomes in offspring, with differences seen across diabetes subtypes. Pregnancy glycemia was associated with cardiometabolic outcomes, but not neurobehavioral outcomes, and provides a potentially modifiable risk factor to decrease cardiometabolic outcomes in offspring.
Effects of Physical Activity on Lower Extremity Muscle Pump and Volume Changes
Authors: Y* Li
Published: May 2024

The objective of the research was to explore the effects of human motion type and angles of inclination on lower limb muscle activity and lower extremity volume change. The muscle activity was quantified by the time domain of the EMG signal. The change in calf circumference and in foot volumeter helped assess the fluid shifts in the lower extremity and the lower limb volume. The results found a significant main effect of motion type on lower extremity muscle activity. Specifically, running was revealed to lead to greater muscle contractions. Also, the calf circumference increase was significantly larger after running than after walking. Calf circumference was significantly greater after running on an inclined surface than on a level surface. Based on the results, inferences were drawn regarding the pattern of fluid shifts in the lower extremity. The research provides valuable inspiration and deep insight into rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and fatigue prevention as well as in the design of prosthetics, compression tights, sports shoes and industrial jobs.
La morphologie de la 1re personne singulier du futur et du conditionnel dans les parlers francoprovençaux valaisans
Authors: Kristol Andres
Published: May 2024

All’inizio del XX secolo, nei Tableaux phonétiques des patois suisses romands (TP, 1925), Gauchat e Jeanjaquet precisano che alcuni dei loro informatori rispondevano con forme del condizionale a stimoli formulati al futuro, e viceversa. Oggi, e grazie al fatto che l’evoluzione linguistica nel corso del XX secolo è stata trascurabile nei paradigmi del futuro e del condizionale, i dati raccolti tra il 1994 e il 2001 per la realizzazione dell’Atlante linguistico audiovisivo del Vallese francoprovenzale (ALAVAL, Diémoz/Kristol 2019) ci permettono di vedere più chiaro in questa apparente confusione e quindi di rivedere il giudizio di Gauchat/ Jeanjaquet. Nei dialetti interessati, i testimoni non si sono sbagliati nell’uso delle forme incriminate, ma hanno risposto con forme perfettamente corrette nei rispettivi sistemi. L’esame della distribuzione geolinguistica delle diverse forme suggerisce che l’attuale sincretismo tra futuro e condizionale risulta dall’interazione tra paradigmi che utilizzano le stesse desinenze in funzioni opposte in dialetti immediatamente vicini.

Bullying is a serious problem in education. The number of bullying cases in Indonesia demands that the government, academics, and the wider community pay more attention to this problem. This study aims to further explore the suicidal tendencies of a junior high school student who is a victim of bullying. This qualitative research uses a narrative approach. The participant is a 15 years-old teenager, who is a student of a private junior high school in Sleman Regency, who has been bullied from kindergarten to junior high school. Thematic analysis was conducted to analyze the result. The results showed that long-term bullying can lead to a tendency to self-harm and suicide. Some of the risk factors identified from this study were family members’ inability to understand the victim's condition, poor family's economic condition, neglect of teachers and school friends, and the victim's own capabilities such as communication and emotion regulation skills. This study also identified several protective factors such as family support, teachers and school friends, the victim’s ability to show her feelings, attitude, and behavior.

Authors: Salem Nahar Almutairi Manar
Published: May 2024

Using English as a medium of communication has become a demanding skill to pursue better academic and occupational opportunities. EFL learners need a practical method of learning English to communicate effectively and speak more fluently. Hence, this study aims to investigate teachers’ perspectives on the use of communicative language teaching to foster fluency and oral communication skills of Saudi female students majoring in English during their first year. It employs a mixed methods approach to data collection. A questionnaire of a five-point scale was used to collect data about teachers’ perspectives on using communicative language teaching in EFL classes. 32 English teachers at Taif University participated in the attitudinal questionnaire. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with two teachers to have an in-depth discussion about the quantitative data and answer the research questions. The findings revealed that teachers have a positive perspective toward using CLT to improve Saudi EFL students’ fluency and oral communication skills. Interviewed teachers significantly support implementing communicative activities, indicating the advantages of communicative-based classrooms. Thus, it is highly recommended to conduct an experimental study, presenting the difference between a communicative-based EFL class and a non-communicative EFL class in the Saudi context.

У дослідженні проаналізовано характерні для України сучасні виклики у соціально- економічній сфері, що виникли в результаті агресії РФ, окреслено реальні механізми мінімізації негативних явищ.. Обгрунтовано, що основним стратегічним орієнтиром України у сфері забезпечення національної безпеки є зміцнення двосторонніх відносин із ключовими державами Європи, у першу чергу з Великобританією, Німеччиною, Францією, іншими країнами ЄС, а також раціоналізація взаємовідносин із США напередодні президентських виборів.
Аналіз сучасного соціально-економічного стану України засвідчив, що перед соціальною сферою України постали надзвичайно серйозні виклики і проблеми. Росія знищує нашу енергосистему, промислову інфраструктуру, об’єкти освіти, науки, медичної сфери та інше, що суттєво ускладнило забезпечення функціонування соціально-економічної інфраструктури.
Війна Росії проти України привела до масштабного зростання міграції. За межами України сьогодні, за різними даними, опинились від 6 до 7 млн. наших громадян. До 7 млн. людей вимушені змінити місце проживання й отримати статус внутрішньо переміщених осіб (ВПО).
Особливістю сьогодення є активні процеси, пов’язані з переміщенням із центрально-східних областей України підприємств різних видів економічної діяльності. Лише у Закарпатську область перемістилось 231 підприємство різних форм власності, а також створено близько 200 нових підприємств ВПО та суб’єктами господарювання з інших регіонів України.
ГЕОПОЛІТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ СТАНОВЛЕННЯ ДЕРЖАВИ РУСЬ

Проблема становлення держави Русь — одна з найскладніших у вітчизняній історіографії. Давня взаємодія слов’ян зі степами Північного Причорномор’я дозволяє припускати, що загадкове плем’я «русь» походить саме звідти. Історичні руси — це степове об’єднання аланів і булгар. Навколо них з часом починають гуртуватися і східні слов’яни. Взаємини слов’ян і русів грунтувалися на взаємній вигоді. Слов’яни отримували доступ до вільних чорноземів для землеробства і надійний захист від кочовиків. Руси же отримали нову сферу політичного впливу і ринки збуту для транзитних і власних товарів. І все ж взаємна асиміляція слов’ян і русів відбувалась украй повільно. Переміщення русів на Дніпро зумовлене відкриттям ними Дніпрового торгового шляху із подальшим його продовженням по морю до Константинополя. Алано-булгарська концепція Русі дозволяє позбутися багатьох недоречностей, пов’язаних з досі домінуючою у багатьох українських істориків норманською концепцією Русі. Ця концепція пов’язує Русь з багатовіковою історією українського степу.
Entre la elección y la contingencia: las colecciones de las bibliotecas populares en el sudoeste bonaerense (Argentina, 1880-1920)
Authors: Agesta María de las Nieves
Published: May 2024

Las colecciones de las bibliotecas populares de la región sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires entre fines de siglo XIX y principios del XX fueron el resultado de las tácticas desplegadas por sus comisiones directivas para obtener material bibliográfico en el marco de la precariedad económica y la inestabilidad que las caracterizaron en sus inicios. Hasta la regularización de los organismos oficiales y de fondos destinados al fomento bibliotecario, la necesidad de invertir los recursos disponibles en el sostenimiento del servicio impidió a las entidades llevar adelante una política de adquisiciones sistemática basada en la compra de textos adecuados a su proyecto institucional y a las preferencias de sus lectorados. De este modo, las donaciones directas de personas, agrupaciones privadas o reparticiones públicas se convirtieron en las fuentes principales de abastecimiento de impresos y fueron configurando los perfiles de cada acervo. La “lógica del don” (Mairesse, 2013), impulsada tanto por sus potenciales réditos simbólicos como por la convicción de que el compromiso individual era un factor ineludible para la construcción de lo colectivo, se impuso como condición para la supervivencia de estos establecimientos. A partir del relevamiento y análisis de la documentación interna de seis bibliotecas populares de esta zona fundadas antes de 1920 y de los medios de prensa de sus localidades de origen, en complementariedad con las fuentes generadas por el estado provincial y nacional, se reconstruye, en la medida de lo posible, la evolución cuantitativa de sus patrimonios y el papel que en su conformación desempeñaron los presentes bibliográficos de los distintos actores sociales.

Burns are trauma caused by thermal injury and require continuous care. One of the complications of healing burns is infection, which interferes with the wound healing process.  Propolis has various biological activities, especially anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, so it has the potential to be used for healing burns. The aim of this study was to analyze the potential of stingless bee propolis (Trigona spp) for healing burns. The research used a descriptive analytical design, which was carried out in March 2023. Stingless bee propolis was obtained from Banjar Adat Pedukuhan, Rendang Village, Rendang District, Karangasem, Bali. Propolis is formed in the form of Ethanol Propolis Extract (EEP) and is examined quantitatively and qualitatively. Qualitative examination results showed that the content of stingless bee propolis consisted of flavonoids, phenols, tannins, steroids and triterpenoids. The results of the quantitative examination showed that the total flavonoids were 83,62 mg/OE/100 g; total tannin of 1452,88 mg TAE/100 g; total phenol was 1766,89 mg GAE/100 g, and IC50 was 285,86. It can be concluded that stingless bee propolis has potential in healing burns, although the IC50 content shows very weak antioxidant activity. Further gradual research is needed to strengthen the potential of stingless bee propolis in healing burns.
