Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Dietary interventions can improve pregnancy outcomes among women with increased BMI. Although the interest in mobile health interventions is growing, little is known about the acceptability of smartphone apps to support lifestyle interventions in such a cohort.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to assess the acceptability of the pregnancy, exercise, and nutrition research study with smartphone app support (PEARS) and the use of mobile health in a mixed lifestyle intervention delivered to overweight and obese pregnant women.

METHODS

PEARS was a randomized controlled trial of a low glycemic index dietary intervention with exercise prescription and a smartphone app, which was delivered to pregnant women who were overweight or obese. Acceptability questionnaires were completed by the intervention group at 28 weeks of gestation (n=149) and at postintervention (n=123). Maternal characteristics were recorded (ie, age, ethnicity, BMI, socioeconomic status). Associations between maternal characteristics and acceptability of the intervention and app were analyzed using two-tailed t tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, chi-square test, and logistic regression. One-on-one semistructured interviews were conducted with a subcohort of the intervention participants (n=28) at 34 weeks of gestation, in which the participants shared their experiences of the PEARS intervention.

RESULTS

The intervention was generally accepted, with respondents agreeing that the diet was easy to follow (98/148, 68.5%), enjoyable (106/148, 74.1%), and affordable (110/148, 76.9%). Qualitative and quantitative results were consistent with each another, both demonstrating that app acceptability was high. The participants agreed that the app was enjoyable (96/120, 80.0%) and easy to use (116/119, 97.5%). Compared to those with tertiary education, those with lower education levels were more likely to enjoy the dietary changes (P=.04). Enjoyment of the app was associated with disadvantaged neighborhood deprivation index (P=.01) and higher BMI (P=.03).

CONCLUSIONS

The PEARS intervention and use of a supportive smartphone app were accepted by pregnant women, particularly by those from vulnerable subgroups of this population.

The Light Verb “Suru” in Japanese Lexical-Conceptual Structure and Sources of Leaning Difficulty
Authors: Liu Xuexin
Published: November 2019

As frequently observed in second or foreign language learning, the Japanese light verb “suru” may course much learning difficulty. Most previous studies focused on the surface description of “suru” in terms of its role in some particular Japanese lexical structure or verbal formation in a particular syntactic environment. This paper assumes that the light verb “suru” drives certain particular Japanese lexical-conceptual structure, and language-specific lexicalization patterns must be learned as such. It offers a linguistic analysis of the sources of the light verb “suru” in structuring particular verbalization patterns and relates this analysis to potential sources of learning difficulty in second or foreign language learning. Instances of cross-linguistic influence or learner errors in learning the Japanese lexical-conceptual structure driven by “suru” are from some early stage American students learning Japanese as a foreign language. This paper implicates a lexicon-driven approach to teaching Japanese lexicalization patterns.

Published: November 2019

Aim
To conduct a systematic literature review of high-risk resectable cutaneous melanoma adjuvant therapeutics and compare safety and efficacy.
Methods:
The systematic literature review included randomized controlled trials investigating: dabrafenib plus trametinib (DAB + TRAM), nivolumab, pembrolizumab, ipilimumab, vemurafenib, chemotherapy and interferons. Outcomes included overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival and safety. All outcomes were synthesized using Bayesian network meta-analysis.
Results:
Across relapse-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival and OS, DAB + TRAM had the lowest estimated hazards of respective events relative to all other treatments (exception relative to nivolumab in OS). Differences were significant relative to placebo, chemotherapy, interferons and ipilimumab.
Conclusion:
DAB + TRAM has improved efficacy over historical treatment options (ipilimumab, interferons and chemotherapy) and comparable efficacy with other targeted and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Los procesos de incorporación de las TIC en escuelas secundarias de Rio Gallegos. Efectos, avances y problemas
Authors: Laje Federico Jorge , Gasel Alejandro
Published: November 2019

La educación es parte del conjunto de un entramado más amplio y complejo como lo es la sociedad donde las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) comenzaron a tener un lugar ponderado en la cotidianidad. Sin embargo, las tecnologías no operan por sí misma, sino que son los sujetos y los contextos los que otorgan el sentido a las prácticas que acontecen.El presente trabajo se enmarca en la línea de estudios que intentan abordar la incidencia, los efectos y avances de los programas de integración de las TIC en establecimientos educativos. Dichas líneas de investigación se instalan en la necesidad de conocer cómo las comunidades educativas van incorporando y apropiándose de las nuevas configuraciones pedagógicas que supone el trabajo con las TIC. En una primera fase se trabajó en la conformación de un estudio exploratorio descriptivo, a través del diseño de un instrumento de encuesta validado por expertos, destinado a docentes de escuelas secundarias de Rio Gallegos. Esta instancia del trabajo nos permitió tener un primer acercamiento para identificar algunos rasgos sobre los usos y prácticas pedagógicas con TIC en el contexto de las escuelas, caracterizando la población de profesores del nivel medio de nuestra localidad. En una segunda fase de profundización, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad, seleccionando a docentes para documentar sus testimonios respecto a su práctica pedagógica en las escuelas de nuestra comunidad local. Las entrevistas en profundidad priorizaron la particularización de la experiencia del profesorado, preservando “las realidades múltiples, las visiones diversas y procesos situados de lo que sucede”. (R. Stake, 2005), a partir de la práctica que supone la enseñanza enriquecida con tic. Este tratamiento y abordaje metodológico de estudio nos posibilitó hacer un análisis comparativo entre las unidades estudiadas, centrándose en los aspectos más relevantes del problema analizado para poder extraer conclusiones.

Es necesario explorar fuentes de proteína alterna para adicionar a la alimentación de aves en regiones rurales. Son contados los estudios realizados en moringa para este propósito. Se determinó el análisis proximal, el contenido de Fe, Ca y taninos a la harina de hoja de moringa. Se evaluó el efecto del consumo de una dieta con 10 % de harina sobre cuatro parámetros productivos y seis serológicos (dos proteínas y cuatro enzimas) en pollos de engorda Ross-308. También se realizaron estudios histopatológicos del hígado y riñón de los pollos. La hoja de moringa presentó 33.4 % de proteína y un alto contenido de hierro (19.7 mg/100 g) y calcio (2593.3 mg/100 g) así como bajo contenido de taninos (24.4 mg EC/100 g). Se observó una reducción del 12 y 20 % en la ganancia en peso y en el índice de productividad, respectivamente, en los pollos a los que se les adicionó moringa. No se observaron diferencias entre el grupo control y el adicionado con moringa en el contenido de proteínas y la actividad de la alanino aminotransferasa y la aspartato aminotransferasa, pero si en la albúmina, la fosfatasa alcalina y la gama galutamil transpeptidasa, que sugiere cierto daño hepático y renal. Estos resultados no se observaron en los estudios histológicos. Se sugiere seguir realizando estudios con niveles de complementación menor con la harina de moringa para comparar los efectos encontrados en el presente estudio y así poder definir su uso potencial.
Productive and economic response to concentrate supplementation by grazing dairy cows at high stocking

Published: November 2019

Small-scale dairy systems contribute to ameliorate rural poverty and to local milk supply. Their sustainability is limited by high feeding costs, mainly from purchased concentrates (CC); whereas a higher reliance on quality forage may improve profitability; but high stocking rates may justify high CC use. The objective of this work was to assess the productive and economic response by grazing dairy cows to levels of CC under grazing of ryegrass–white clover pastures under high stocking rate (4 cows/ha). Six Holstein milking cows were replicated assigned 3 X 3 Latin Square arrangements. Daily milk yield and composition were recorded, and feed intake estimated from utilised metabolizable energy. Treatments were: T1= 1.0 kg T6= 3.0 kg and T6= 6.0 kg concentrate/cow/d. There were significant differences (P<0.05) for milk yield, with T6 having higher yields than T1 and T3. There were no significant differences in milk protein or fat content among treatments (P>0.05). Herbage intake was significantly (P<0.05) lower in T6, with no differences (P>0.05) between T1 and T3. There were no differences in margins over feeding costs, but feeding cost per kg of milk was 2.2 times higher in T6 compared to T1, and margin per kilo of milk was 26 % higher in T1 than T6. Although milk yields are higher with T6, T1 and T3 require less expenditures and margins are similar. Supplementation may alleviate high grazing pressure that deteriorates pastures, ensuring the long-term sustainability of small-scale dairy farming systems.

El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar y analizar los resultados obtenidos de una función de producción de leche y carne en unidades de producción del sistema de doble propósito (DP). Los datos se obtuvieron a través de encuestas mensuales, donde se registró información de producción de leche, carne, ingresos y egresos económicos, durante 12 meses. Las funciones se estimaron por el método indirecto de regresión lineal con datos transformados para una función Cobb-Douglas. La función para leche mostró que los insumos alimento y vacas explican el 91 % de la producción, con coeficientes de elasticidad de 0.34 y 0.5, productos marginales de 0.75 y 892.2 con valores de $4.03 y $4,800.2 respectivamente. Los insumos utilizados para la producción de leche se encuentran en la etapa II de producción con rendimientos marginales decrecientes, mientras que para la producción de carne los insumos alimento y vacas explican el 72 % de la producción, con coeficientes de elasticidades de producción de -0.20 y 1.11 respectivamente; el alimento se ubicó en la etapa III de producción con rendimientos marginales negativos, y el insumo vacas se encontró en la etapa I con rendimientos marginales crecientes. La suma de los coeficientes de ambas funciones que fueron 0.92 y 0.91 por ser menores a uno, tienen rendimientos decrecientes a escala. El nivel óptimo técnico de producción fue de 488.97 L diarios y 10 becerros al año. Los insumos para producción de leche se están utilizando de forma racional, pero se debe evaluar la cantidad de alimento utilizada para producción de carne, ya que refleja que es sobre utilizado.

El estudio de la parasitología de animales silvestres de importancia económica en cautiverio es relevante, ya que la parasitosis se traduce en pérdidas por disminución de productividad, aumento de gastos veterinarios, infecciones secundarias y pérdida de ejemplares. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la prevalencia y abundancia de la diversidad de endoparásitos presentes en Odocoileus virginianus y Mazama temama en cautiverio. Durante la temporada de lluvias y secas, se recolectaron 60 muestras fecales de seis ejemplares de O. virginianus y cuatro de M. temama de diferente edad y sexo; se usó la técnica de flotación con solución saturada de azúcar, para recolectar e identificar los parásitos mediante comparación anatómica. Se identificaron siete géneros de parásitos: Ascaris sp., Eimeria sp., Estrongilido sp., Strongyloides sp., Parascaris sp., Paragonimus sp., y Taenia sp., siendo los dos primeros con mayor abundancia en ambos cérvidos. La prueba de X2 determinó que la presencia de endoparásitos está asociada al sexo y a la especie de venado: machos y hembras de cada especie de venado, presentaron distinta prevalencia parasitaria. Parascaris sp. y Paragonimus sp., fueron parásitos que se encontraron solamente en O. virginianus. No se encontraron diferencias significativas (P>0.05) entre la abundancia de parásitos entre las épocas de lluvias y secas; el género Ascaris fue significativamente más abundante con respecto a otros parásitos (P<0.05). Esta información sirve para el control y prevención de parásitos de ungulados en cautiverio de importancia económica y para su conservación.

Published: November 2019

En este trabajo, exploramos la utilización de una herramienta de común uso industrial como son las cartas de control en un ámbito netamente social como lo es la salud. Se pretendió mostrar un método para la introducción de este conocimiento con base en herramientas de fácil implementación, el cual está constituido por el método propuesto por Ishikawa como primera parte del proceso, seguida del uso de la metodología Delphi en dos rondas, concluyendo con una tercera ronda de Delphi usando la técnica de elicitación a mano alzada. Este proceso resultó ser novedoso debido a la estimación de los límites de control bayesianos, a la estimación de la distribución a priori a mano alzada, acudiendo a expertos y la determinación de la distribución predictiva a posteriori que permite la actualización permanente de los límites de control en un proceso social hasta donde sabemos no usado en la literatura. Este resultado permitirá la generación de alertas tempranas de control de proceso, ya sea en el incremento no esperado de la cantidad de no conformidades o sea porque las innovaciones son llamativamente inferiores a lo esperado de acuerdo a la distribución de probabilidad a posteriori.

Estimates of mortality rates in people with diabetes and cardiovascular disease using administrative pharmaceutical data
Authors: Purkiss Shaun , Keegel Tessa , Vally Hassan , Wollersheim Dennis
Published: November 2019

BackgroundQuantifying the mortality risk for people with diabetes is challenging because of associated comorbidities. The recording of cause specific mortality from accompanying cardiovascular disease in death certificate notifications has been considered to underestimate the overall mortality risk in persons with diabetes.

Main AimDevelop a technique to quantify mortality risk from pharmaceutical administrative data and apply it to persons diagnosed with diabetes, and associated cardiovascular disease and dyslipidaemia before death.

MethodsPersons with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and dyslipidaemia were identified in a publicly available Australian Pharmaceutical data set using World Health Organization anatomic therapeutic codes assigned to medications received. Diabetes associated multi-morbidity cohorts were constructed and a proxy mortality (PM) event determined from medication and service discontinuation. Estimates of mortality rates were calculated from 2004 for 10 years and compared persons with diabetes alone and associated cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia.

ResultsThis study identified 346,201 individuals within the 2004 calendar year as having received treatments for diabetes (n=51,422), dyslipidaemia (n=169,323) and cardiovascular disease including hypertension (n=280,105). Follow up was 3.3 x 106 person-years. Overall crude PM was 26.1 per 1000 person-years. PM rates were highest in persons with cardiovascular disease and diabetes in combination (47.5 per 100 person years). Statin treatments significantly improved the mortality rates in all persons with diabetes and cardiovascular disease alone and in combination over age groups >44 years (p<.001). Age specific diabetes PM rates using pharmaceutical data correlated well with Australian data from the National Diabetes Service Scheme (r=0.82)

ConclusionProxy mortality events calculated from medication discontinuation in persons with chronic conditions can provide an alternative method to estimate disease mortality rates. The technique also allows the assessment of mortality risk in persons with chronic disease multi-morbidity.
Challenges and Principles to guide the linkage of government administrative data: Experiences from the Tassie Kids project
Authors: Stafford Joel
Published: November 2019

Background with rationale An overarching concern influencing models of data linkage for public good is the maintenance of personal privacy. This concern is at times so strong that it prevents or slows the progress of achieving worthwhile linked administrative datasets across allied government departments, and even between distinct units within a single department. Where linkage has succeeded it has generally produced data sets that, by design, are difficult or impossible to re-identify, therefore meeting the requirement to guard privacy at the costs of the resulting data’s value to government decision makers.

Main Aim The main aim of this paper is to convey criteria to inform data linkage policy and practice in government that maintains a central role for privacy, but which can better deliver on the promise of high value data for policy.

Methods/Approach This paper is informed by the Tassie Kids project, a longitudinal linked administrative data study using an embedded researcher model underway in Tasmania, Australia. Among other outcomes, the project was designed to assist allied government agencies to identify key policy leverage points across multiple services. Using the Tassie Kids project as a case study this paper asks why allied departments don’t routinely link administrative data. Several important linked administrative data design principles are drawn from discussion of this question.

Results The paper explains the practice implications of these design principles relevant to policy analysis and information management units in government.

Conclusion The paper concludes with the suggestion that high value linked administrative data is data that maximises its representation of the dynamic mechanisms that affect the outcomes desired by government, while simultaneously minimising the data’s distance from its point of origin.
Evaluating needs-based home visiting support: Can administrative data help?
Authors: Warner Nell
Published: November 2019

Objective Home visiting is a form of family support which can help families with different problems in different ways. Previous evaluations have utilised either experimental or qualitative designs. However, the needs-based nature of support presents a challenge for evaluation using experimental designs.

Main Aim This paper illustrates the unique contribution that administrative data can make to understanding these problems and how it can be used to explore what support works for families in different situations.

Methods The analysis of administrative data from one UK home visiting organisation, Home-Start, is presented. Exploratory analysis considers measures describing how well parents are coping with a range of issues and how this changes over the course of support. This highlights problems with evaluation because of the variety of issues Home-Start is supporting parents to cope with and the fact that the duration of support is needs-based. Methodological solutions are proposed for these problems using the administrative data. These include using subgroups to study families with different problems and considering the rate at which improvements occur as an outcome variable. Linear regression models are presented to demonstrate how these methods can identify aspects of support related to improvements in parental self-esteem.

Results The methods used are able to demonstrate that the frequency of support and who the support is provided by are related to faster improvements in parental self-esteem. The analysis of sub-groups in the data shows that the frequency of support is important for all parents, but there are differences between parents in different situations, depending on whether volunteers or paid staff provide support.

Conclusion The analysis of administrative data is able to make a unique contribution to the evaluation of needs-based home visiting support.
Suicide following presentation to emergency departments with suicidal ideation: a population-wide study
Authors: Ross Emma , Maguire Aideen , O'Hagan Denise , O'Reilly Dermot
Published: November 2019

Background Little is known about the association between suicide ideation and completed suicide. As NI has the highest suicide rate in the UK and Ireland it is vital to understand who is most at risk in order to target prevention strategies effectively.

Aim To explore the risk factors for completed suicide following presentation with suicide ideation.

Methods The Northern Ireland Registry of Self-Harm and Suicide Ideation contains information on all presentations to all Emergency Departments in NI for self-harm and suicide ideation. Data from 2012-2015 were linked to centralised electronic data relating to primary care, prescribed medication and mortality records. Initial analyses were completed to explore the profile of those who present with suicide ideation, and logistic regression was utilised to examine the likelihood of mortality post presentation. Cox regression was utilised to examine the factors associated with completed suicide following presentation with ideation.

Results The cohort consisted of 1,483,435 individuals born or resident in NI from 1st January 1970 until 31st December 2015 (maximum age in 2015, 45 years). Between 2012-2015, 4,975 (0.3%) individuals presented with suicide ideation and 583 (0.04%) individuals died by suicide. Ideation is more likely in men compared to women (OR=1.87, 95%CI 1.76,1.98), in those aged 18-24 years, and in more deprived individuals. Of those who presented with ideation, 66 (1.3%) subsequently died by suicide. In fully-adjusted models, those who presented with suicide ideation were 25 times more likely to die by suicide compared to those who did not (HR=25.0, 95%CI 19.3,32.5). Amongst suicide ideators, male gender (HR=2.67, 95% CI 1.39,5.10) and multiple presentations (HR=1.95, 95% CI 1.09,3.50) were associated with the greatest risk of death by suicide.

Conclusion These findings could help emergency department staff identify individuals at greatest risk of suicide and could be utilised in the development of targeted intervention strategies.
Health conditions, disability and economic inactivity in Northern Ireland. An administrative data study.

Published: November 2019

Background Northern Ireland consistently experiences a higher rate of economic inactivity compared to other regions of the UK, currently 27% of the working age population compared to 22% in the UK. Historically, the major variance in explaining higher NI economic inactivity rates has been larger proportions of long-term sick/disabled. Only 34.7% of the NI population with a disability are employed compared to 77.9% of the non-disabled population.

Aim The aims were to explore the relationship between chronic health status and the labour-market in NI, and how receipt of DLA is associated with economic inactivity.

Methods This study links the 2011-NI-Census records, DLA-dataset, death registrations for the Census population, settlement-band data, the Land and Property Service capital-valuation of property, and the NI-Multiple-Deprivation Measure. The economically active population was defined as all individuals that were either employed or unemployed but looking for a job at the time of the 2011-Census.

Results Men with mental-health conditions reporting a lot of limitation in day-to-day activities are almost 51 times more likely to be economically inactive compared to men with no health condition (ORadj=50.99, 95%CI:46.8,55.6). Learning/mental-health conditions are more likely to be associated with economic inactivity in both women and men compared to physical health conditions, such as long-term pain, mobility or breathing difficulties. Individuals in receipt of DLA are more than twice as likely to be economically inactive as their peers who are not in receipt of DLA.

Conclusion Individuals with mental-health conditions reporting a lot of limitation in day-to-day activities have the lowest rates of participation in the labour-market. A lot of limitation in the day-to-day activities appears to be strongly associated with economic inactivity regardless of the health condition. DLA uptake is associated with considerably reduced likelihood of being economically active overall while the health conditions underlying DLA uptake are strong barriers to access the labour-market in NI.
Poor mental health and uptake of disability benefits
Authors: O’Reilly Dermot , Rosato Michael , Wright David , Tseliou Foteini , Miller Ana Corina , Maguire Aideen
Published: November 2019

Background with rationale Disability related social security benefits were introduced to help off-set the additional costs incurred by people with disability and to help them better integrate into society. However, there are concerns that not everyone with a disability is receiving the benefits to which they are entitled.

Aim To undertake a record-linkage study to compare levels of benefit uptake Disability Living Allowance (DLA) according to disability type and severity as reported in the Northern Ireland 2011 Census.

Data/methods The linked data sources were the 2011 census records and all DLA records for calendar year 2011. The main comparison was of DLA receipt amongst those reporting chronic mobility difficulties (MD) and those with chronic poor mental health (PMH) (both yes/no) with the addition of limitation of daily activities (none, a little, a lot), which was used as a proxy for severity and DLA eligibility.

Results Most people with disability had multiple disabilities but here the analysis is primarily amongst people with solitary conditions to avoid potential confounding. Approximately 20,000 people in the population reported either only MD or only PMH, though 68% of MD had their daily activities limited a lot compared to 55% of those with PMH. Overall, 71.8% of people with MD and daily activities limited a lot were on DLA compared to only 57.5% of similarly affected people with PMH the relative odds ratio being (OR 0.53 95%CI 0.50, 0.56).

Conclusion It appears that people with poor mental health are less likely to receive disability benefits compared to those with mobility problems. This may be because they are less able to prove their eligibility for these benefits under the current assessment processes.
Does the risk of poor mental health rise before widowhood?
Authors: Feng Zhiqiang , Dibben Chris , Everington Dawn , Williamson Lee , Raab Gillian
Published: November 2019

Background A large body of literature has shown that transition into widowhood has detrimental effects on the surviving spouse’s health leading to elevated risks of mortality, poor mental health and hospitalisation. However, few studies have examined health outcomes before widowhood. Anticipatory grief and long term care giving are likely to lead to poor mental health conditions.

Aim This paper examined whether the risk of depression and anxiety rose before the widowhood event using linked administrative data.

Methods The study population was drawn from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) linked to prescribing data, available from 2009. We included all cohort members who were married in 2001 and who were aged 50 and over by 2009. We then followed the cohort for 5 years from 2009 to 2013 (N=~58,000). Andersen-Gill models were used to explore the risk of prescription of antidepressant and antianxiety drugs before and after loss of spouse adjusting for a number of confounders. The analysis was carried out separately for men and women.

Results We found that the risk of depression and anxiety were higher 6 months before widowhood for women (0-3 months, HR=1.17, 95%CI 1.07-1.28; 3-6 months, HR=1.15, 95%CI 1.05-1.27) but not for men (0-3 months HR=1.07, 95% CI 0.90-1.26; 3-6 months HR=1.01, 95% CI 0.84-1.21). The risk after widowhood for men became significantly higher lasting for 2 years (0-3 months HR=1.40, 95% CI 1.21-1.61; 21-24 months HR=1.24, 95% CI 1.01-1.52). For women the elevated risk remained at a heightened level up to 2 years (0-3 months HR=1.50, 95% CI 1.29-1.75; 21-24 months HR=1.29, 95% CI 1.03-1.60).

Conclusion It has been previously shown that widowhood has negative effects on a surviving partners’ health. This research shows that this effect is also apparent in women before their partner’s deaths.
