BACKGROUND

The effectiveness of psychosocial interventions on quality of life (QOL) among people living with HIV has been validated, including mobile health (mHealth) interventions. However, it is unclear which components of such interventions account for these effects.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to examine positive coping as a potential mediator of the effects of an mHealth intervention on QOL among people living with HIV.

METHODS

For this secondary analysis, we used data from an mHealth-based randomized controlled trial, Run4Love, which was conducted to improve QOL and mental health outcomes of people living with HIV. A total of 300 participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group to receive the adapted cognitive-behavioral stress management courses and regular physical activity promotion or the waitlist control group in a 1:1 ratio. Our analysis focused on positive coping and QOL, which were repeatedly measured at baseline and at 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-ups. Latent growth curve models were constructed to explore the mediating role of positive coping in the effects of the mHealth intervention on QOL.

RESULTS

Positive coping served as a mediator in the effect of the mHealth intervention on QOL for up to 9 months. The mHealth intervention had a significant and positive indirect effect on the slope of QOL via the slope of positive coping (b=2.592×1.620=4.198, 95% CI 1.189-7.207, P=.006). The direct effect of the intervention was not significant (b=0.552, 95% CI −2.154 to 3.258, P=.69) when controlling for the mediator.

CONCLUSIONS

The longitudinal findings suggest that positive coping could be a crucial mediator of the mHealth intervention in enhancing QOL among people living with HIV. These findings underscore the importance of improving positive coping skills in mHealth interventions to improve QOL among people living with HIV.
Healing with Stories: Designing empowering narratives for informal caregivers. A Method Demonstration (Preprint)
Authors: Petrovic Milica , Bonanno Silvia , Landoni Marta , Ionio Chiara , Hagedoorn Mariët , Gaggioli Andrea
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND

The Transformative Storytelling Technique is an innovative top-down approach to narrative therapy that aims to provide building blocks for creating flourishing narratives for target groups or populations. This approach acts as a facilitator for implementing the human-centred design in developing digital self-help tools for larger samples or target groups.

OBJECTIVE

This study applied the Transformative Storytelling technique as a new approach in mental health, to develop empowering audio narratives for informal caregivers.

METHODS

A narrative inquiry has been conducted with seventeen informal caregivers who completed a semi-structured interview “Caregiver Life Story” acquiring about the beginning of the role, the rising action, and the critical point of the role. This inquiry was guided by the Transformative Storytelling Technique, and it aimed to collect the data relevant to creating fictional stories based on real-life themes.

RESULTS

Twenty-five overall themes have been distinguished across three a-priori set categories, providing narrative building blocks for the informal caregiver life stories. The final empowering caregiver life story was created as an example for this study, demonstrating the application of the Transformative Storytelling Technique in an informal care context.

CONCLUSIONS

The creation of empowering stories, for populations or target groups in mental health care, requires a unified and guided approach that will follow clear guidelines and storytelling principles. Transformative Storytelling Technique is a first of its kind in the mental health context and is an initial step in enabling and supporting the creation of meaningful stories and the development of relatable but productive narratives. Such narratives have the potential to serve across media and digital platforms for supporting and improving wellbeing, and potentially triggering self-change in the target group or population.

Creating Map of interactive Services Aiding and Assisting persons with DisAbilities (MSAADA) in Kenya: A Tutorial (Preprint)
Authors: Etling Mary Ann , Musili Michael , Eastes Kaytlin , Oyungu Eren , McHenry Megan Song
Published: February 2022

UNSTRUCTURED

Background and Objectives: According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 15% of the population is living with a disability. In Kenya, children with disabilities remain one of the most vulnerable populations, experiencing significant barriers to wellness and inclusion. Our objective is to develop an interactive map of organizations and institutions that provide medical, educational, financial, or social resources to individuals with disabilities in Kenya. The target audience for this tool includes persons with disabilities, caregivers, medical professionals, and organization leaders.

Methodology: A comprehensive list of 219 organizations, government county offices, education assessment and resource centers (EARCs) and institutions was compiled from various online directories. Each organization was contacted for an interview to discuss contact information, address, services offered, payment options, requirement for enrollment, and transport services. Based on the types of services offered, each organization was assigned categorical search tags. The data was entered into a third-party mapping site. The map was inserted into a page on the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) website.

Future Steps: The next phase of the project will be twofold: improve overall quality and provide more detailed information on each organization. To improve accuracy, there is a short survey that allows organizations to provide updates and give feedback. To provide more information on services, information guides are being developed. Long-term, the map may be expanded to include organizations in neighboring countries and formatted to be a smartphone app.

Potential Impact: Using the search features, this tool will allow medical professionals to give more patient-specific referrals and caregivers to access these resources from home. Additionally, this map will inform organizations where resources are limited within the country. Ultimately, this interactive map will serve as a bridge to connect children with disabilities and their families to nearby services.
Effects of app icon border form and interface background color saturation on user visual experience and search performance (Preprint)
Authors: Deng Li , Zhang Zhirui , Zhou Fangyuan
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND

Icon border form and interface background color saturation were two important factors affecting user visual experience and search performance, but they have been studied individually before.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to investigate their individual and connected impacts on interface interaction.

METHODS

An experiment using eye-tracking, behavior measurement, and subjective evaluation was carried out to make sense of the influence of app icon border form and interface background color saturation on user visual experience and search performance.

RESULTS

The statistical results showed that, during the human-computer interaction process, compared with the circle and rounded square border form conditions, the square icons had the longest search completion time and first fixation time, and the lowest subjective evaluation score. Rounded square icons had the best user visual experience. Compared with high saturation background color, less time was required to complete search tasks in low saturation background color condition. Low saturation background color obtained higher perceptual usability and aesthetic scores than the high saturation background color.

CONCLUSIONS

This study confirmed that the two factors of icon border form and interface background color saturation had the basic properties of the interaction effect. The combination of rounded square icons and low saturation background color can be beneficial to improve user search performance and a good user visual experience.

Systematic Review of Electronic Health Records Value Since HITECH Act (Preprint)
Authors: Modi Shikha , Feldman Sue
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND

Electronic health records are the electronic record of patient health information created during one or more encounters in any healthcare setting. The Health Information Technology Act of 2009 has been a major driver of the adoption and implementation of electronic health records in the United States. Given that the adoption of electronic health records is a complex and expensive investment, a return on this investment is expected.

OBJECTIVE

This literature review focuses on how the value of electronic health records, as an intervention is defined in relation to the elaboration of value into two different value outcome categories: financial and clinical outcomes, and to understand how electronic health records contribute to these two value outcome categories.

METHODS

This literature review was conducted using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. The initial search of key terms electronic health records, value, financial outcomes, and clinical outcomes in three different databases yielded 971 articles. After removing 410 duplicates, 561 articles were incorporated in the title and abstract screening. During the title and abstract screening phase, articles were excluded from any further review phases if they met any of the following criteria: 1) not relevant to the outcomes of interest, 2) not relevant to electronic health records, 3) non-empirical, and 4) non-peer reviewed. After the application of exclusion criteria, 80 studies remained for a full-text review. After evaluating the full text of the residual 80 studies, 26 studies were excluded seeing that they did not address the impact of EHR adoption on the outcomes of interest. Four additional studies were discovered through manual reference searches, and added to the total, resulting in 58 studies for analysis. A qualitative analysis tool, ATLAS.ti.8.2 was used to categorize and code the final 58 studies.

RESULTS

The findings from the literature review indicated a combination of positive and negative impact of electronic health records on financial and clinical outcomes. Five out of 58 studies surveyed for this review of literature report on the intersection of financial and clinical outcomes. To investigate this intersection further, the category “Value – Intersection of Financial and Clinical Outcomes” was generated. Four out of five of these studies specified a positive association between EHR adoption and financial and clinical outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

This review of literature reports on the individual and collective value of EHRs from a financial and clinical outcomes perspective. The collective perspective examined the intersection of financial and clinical outcomes suggesting a reversal of the current understanding of how IT investments could generate improvements in productivity and prompts a new question to be asked of whether an increase in productivity could potentially lead to more IT investments.
System Usability Scale Scores for Digital Health Apps: Meta Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Hyzy Maciej Marek , Bond Raymond , Mulvenna Maurice , Bai Lu , Dix Alan , Leigh Simon , Hunt Sophie
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND

The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a widely used scale that has been used to quantify the usability of many software and hardware products. However, the SUS scale was not specifically designed to evaluate mobile apps, or indeed Digital Health Apps (DHAs).

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to examine whether the widely used SUS distribution for benchmarking (mean of 68 and standard deviation of 12.5) can be used to reliably assess the usability of DHAs.

METHODS

A search of the literature was performed using ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, CORE, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases to identify SUS scores related to the usability of DHAs for meta-analysis. In total, 117 SUS scores for 114 DHAs were identified. R Studio and the R programming language was used to model the DHA SUS distribution, with a one-sample t-test used to compare this distribution with the standard SUS distribution.

RESULTS

The mean SUS score when all the collected apps were included was 76.64±15.12 (mean ± standard deviation), however this distribution exhibited asymmetrical skewness (-0.52) and was not normally distributed according to Shapiro-Wilk test (P=.002). The mean SUS score for ‘physical activity’ apps was 83.28±12.39 and was driving the skewness. Hence, the mean SUS score for all collected apps, excluding ‘physical activity’ apps, was 68.05 ± 14.05. A one-sample t-test indicated that this health app SUS distribution was not statistically significantly different from the standard SUS distribution (P=.98).

CONCLUSIONS

This study concludes that SUS and the widely accepted benchmark of a mean SUS score of 68±12.5 is suitable for evaluating the usability of DHAs.

Contar e explicar: competências de escrita de estudantes de 5.º ano numa escola multicultural portuguesa
Authors: Costa-Pereira Teresa , Alves Inês , Sousa Otília
Published: February 2022

A competência de escrita é necessária e transversal a todas as áreas do currículo. A escrita é a mais complexa das atividades de linguagem e pode transformar-se num desafio tanto mais exigente quanto os alunos estiverem distantes da cultura letrada. Escrever e ensinar a escrever devem, por isso, ser práticas assíduas na sala de aula. Neste estudo, realizado no ano letivo de 2018-2019, em duas turmas de 5º ano de escolaridade, faz-se uma análise diagnóstica das competências de escrita compositiva (narração e exposição) (PETERSON; McCABE, 1991; SOUSA, 2015; MEYER, 1985) e ortográfica (RAVID; TOLCHINSKY, 2002; VALE; SOUSA, no prelo). São objetos de análise a qualidade textual, estrutura e microestruturas textuais e desvios na escrita de palavras. O estudo foi realizado num Agrupamento TEIP (Territórios Educativos de Intervenção Prioritária) da região de Lisboa e teve como objetivos i) investigar a competência narrativa, ii) investigar a competência expositiva e iii) analisar as habilidades ortográficas (escrita de palavras) de alunos de 5º ano de escolaridade. Foram elicitados textos narrativos e expositivos e analisados a qualidade textual e os erros de escrita de palavras. Os resultados revelam que os alunos apresentam mais dificuldades na escrita de textos expositivos do que na escrita de textos narrativos. Revelam, também, que os erros ortográficos e os erros de acentuação gráfica são áreas a precisar de intervenção. Discute-se a relevância prática dos resultados, tanto no ensino, como na formação de professores.
Práticas discursivas de colonialidade no aplicativo Grindr: a masculinidade homoerótica patologizada
Authors: Moreira Júnior Rusanil Dos Santos , Ifa Sérgio
Published: February 2022

Sob a perspectiva da Linguística Aplicada, este artigo objetiva analisar as linguagens e os discursos construídos e (re)produzidos sobre masculinidade homoerótica no Grindr, um aplicativo social para gays. Entende-se que as práticas discursivas são motivadas por escolhas ideológicas que provocam e perpetuam diferentes efeitos no mundo social: normalização e controle de certas visões sobre outras. Nessa perspectiva, este trabalho se apoia nos estudos sobre colonialidade do poder, nos estudos queer e nos estudos sobre as masculinidades. Para as interpretações, foram consideradas as informações relacionadas ao layout do Grindr, as categorias relacionadas ao perfil de usuário e 167 respostas de perfis de usuários. Os resultados evidenciam uma masculinidade homoerótica patologizada e (re)produzida, sob a égide de uma masculinidade hegemônica, a partir de discursos coloniais socializados em um regime de terrorismo cultural.
A escrita de si e o funcionamento imaginário atuante no gesto de comentar no Facebook
Authors: Lacerda Gustavo Haiden
Published: February 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo compreender o funcionamento discursivo dos comentários no Facebook, ou ainda, apreender o funcionamento do imaginário de comentar nessa rede social. Para tanto, recortamos a postagem de um vídeo da página “Quebrando o Tabu”, especificamente os comentários a essa publicação. Com base nos postulados da Análise de Discurso pecheuxtiana, bem como recorrendo a alguns conceitos do quadro teórico da Psicanálise lacaniana, foi possível compreender que, regidos por um imaginário de “interagir em rede”, os comentários produzem efeitos de identificação do sujeito a seu discurso pela via do outro, conferindo ao discurso efeitos de unidade, no entanto, contraditórios.

Authors: Ayres Dayana Junqueira , Pereira Márcia Helena De Mello , Azevedo Ana Claudia Oliveira
Published: February 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar e caracterizar um gênero advindo das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDICs): o booktube. A classificação do booktube como gênero do discurso é feita com base na organização triádica proposta por Bakhtin (2011), segundo a qual os gêneros são compostos por conteúdo temático, estilo e construção composicional. Para o corpus, foram selecionados três vídeos postados por diferentes canais de booktubers na comunidade YouTube. A análise dos dados mostrou que o booktube é um gênero do discurso que apresenta uma relativa estabilidade em seu conteúdo temático, construção composicional e estilo do gênero; porém, é bastante propício à manifestação do estilo individual de quem o produz.
Tecnologia e humor: exemplos de atividades para manter a aprendizagem de inglês funcional em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Vanzan de Oliveira Vanessa Cristiane
Published: February 2022

One of the possible problems in teaching English in Brazil may be linked to students’ lack of interest in online English classes. That demotivation may be linked to irrelevant content and an inadequate approach. When it comes to teenagers, it is known that technology plays a crucial role in their lives; however, some institutions and teachers have not mastered that tool yet. Nowadays, in pandemic times, technology has become essential. The outbreak of the virus has led to a tremendous growth of online teaching platforms. The pandemic of COVID-19 has transformed online teaching from a nice-to-have to a must-have. In light of Sperber and Wilson’s Relevance Theory (1996) and recent multimodality studies and pragmatics (YUS, 2018, 2016; FORCEVILLE; CLARK, 2014; KONSTANTINEAS; VLACHOS, 2012, O’KEEFFE; CLANCY; ADOLPHS, 2011), this paper presents a didactic unit designed to provide teenage students (12 year-olds to 15 year-olds) with compelling topics in a relevant way in online classes. Being humor an inherently human trait which covers a whole range of communicative, social and psychological aspects of human behavior, it was used as a means to enhancing students’ interest. The central idea is to suggest tasks designed using humorous internet memes as well as technology; such as platforms and websites. Following the didactic unit, the author received positive feedback from the specific group of learners and noticed overall improvement of students’ communicative abilities in the target language.
Fake news sobre saúde: uma análise das marcas linguísticas na notícia “Banana com vírus HIV”
Authors: Silva Anaildo Pereira da , Silva Girlane Cardoso da
Published: February 2022

No presente trabalho fazemos uma reflexão sobre fake news no âmbito digital, mais especificamente, sobre a notícia “Banana com vírus HIV”, que foi compartilhada na rede social Facebook e que repercutiu na internet. O objetivo deste estudo consiste em analisar as categorias dos Modos de Organização do Discurso presentes na notícia “Banana com vírus HIV”. Mais especificamente: identificar as categorias do Modo de Discurso na notícia e averiguar o Modo de Organização do Discurso. Para tanto, temos a seguinte questão norteadora: como os Modos de Organização do Discurso do gênero post fake corroboram para a interpelação direta do interlocutor? Para responder a essa indagação, arrolamos as reflexões de Charaudeau (2006, 2013, 2014) e de Paveau (2013, 2015) para abordarmos as notícias falsas do ponto de vista discursivo. No tocante à onda de desinformação em ascensão no ecossistema digital, recorremos a Levy (2016), Primo (2012) e Barrera (2019). Como procedimento metodológico, utilizamos a pesquisa bibliográfica atrelada ao método qualitativo para analisar o corpus. Por fim, concluímos que a ausência do Modo de Organização do Discurso (descritivo) é um fator crucial para que o sujeito-alvo (interlocutor/leitor) ponha em xeque a veracidade da notícia veiculada, uma vez que estarão ausentes as fontes que a embasam, evitando assim, que compartilhem fake news em mídias sociais digitais como Facebook, principalmente no que tange à saúde coletiva.

O beta-reader, ou leitor-beta, é aquele que se apresenta no site como um leitor que faz as correções/revisões gramaticais, de enredo, personagens etc. e se coloca como essencial para o bom funcionamento da escrita de fã-fanfiction.
A construção referencial em compósitos de gêneros na mídia Facebook
Authors: Cavalcante Mônica Magalhães , Muniz-Lima Isabel
Published: February 2022

Este artigo busca investigar a construção referencial em textos que circulam em páginas do Facebook. Nesta investigação, defendemos que os textos dessa mídia se apresentam em um compósito de gêneros e que a construção referencial deve ser observada tendo em vista esse agrupamento. O presente estudo se vincula à perspectiva da Linguística Textual praticada no Brasil, sobretudo em investigações do grupo de pesquisa Protexto, da Universidade Federal do Ceará, e tem como base pesquisas recentes no âmbito da referenciação (CAVALCANTE, 2011; CUSTÓDIO-FILHO, 2011; CAVALCANTE; BRITO, 2016; MATOS, 2018). Para esta análise, selecionamos postagem publicada na página do Facebook do jornal O Povo, em 27 de novembro de 2020, sobre um pronunciamento do presidente brasileiro Jair Messias Bolsonaro, em relação à Covid-19. Este trabalho nos permitiu perceber que a (re)elaboração do referente “Covid-19” exige que o leitor se reporte a âncoras dadas não só na postagem principal do jornal, mas também em outros elementos desse compósito, como nos comentários.
Innate and adaptive immune system cells implicated in tendon healing and disease
Authors:   William Black Building, 650 W 168th Street, Room 1408, New York, NY 10032, USA, Crosio G , Huang AH
Published: February 2022

Tendons perform a critical function in the musculoskeletal system by integrating muscle with skeleton and enabling force transmission. Damage or degeneration of these tissues lead to impaired structure and function, which often persist despite surgical intervention. While the immune response and inflammation are important drivers of both tendon healing and disease progression, there have been relatively few studies of the diverse immune cell types that may regulate these processes in these tissues. To date, most of the studies have focused on macrophages, but emerging research indicate that other immune cell types may also play a role in tendon healing, either by regulating the immune environment or through direct interactions with resident tenocytes. The present review synthesises the literature on innate and adaptive immune system cells that have been implicated in tendon healing or disease, in the context of animal injury models, human clinical samples or in vitro experiments.

Authors: Halim Sofyan , Buana Mohamad Torik Langlang
Published: February 2022

Problematic financing or often referred to as Non-Performed Financing is financing that has difficulty paying off, either due to lack of accuracy in the analysis of lending or due to economic conditions that experience instability which results in failure in most economic activities. The research conducted is examining the problematic financing whether it influences the decision-making of financing with various Islamic contracts, namely the mudharabah, musyarakah, Murabaha, salam, istishna, Ijarah, Qard, and Hiwalah agreements and examines the strategies carried out by the Shari'ah Commercial Bank to do handling the problematic financing.The study was conducted with quantitative and descriptive methods, with the results of the study that NPF In Mudharabah, Murabahah, and ijarah contract financing there is a positive relationship between the two variables, so it can be concluded that the increase in NPF does not affect the fund distribution policy with mudharabah agreements, because The contract positively increases, while the NPF for financing with Musyarakah, Istishna and qardh contracts has a negative relationship so it can be concluded that the NPF in financing with the Musharaka contract has a negative effect in the sense that the Shari'ah Commercial Bank in general distributing financing to customers is limited due NPF by paying attention to redline facilities, BUS only provides financing facilities for businesses that contain minimal risks. NPF in general, Sharia Commercial Banks do not really influence policies in financing distribution to customers with various financing agreements. The results of the regression determination analysis show that the percentage effect of NPF on financing distribution policies with mudharabah, musyarakah, Murabaha, Murabaha, istishna, ijarah, and qardh contracts in Islamic Commercial Banks is 33.8%, while the remaining 66.2% is influenced by variables others not formulated in this research model. The Normality Test results show that the NPF and Musyarakah contract financing is normally distributed while the Mudharabah, Murabahah, Istishna, Ijarah and Qardh variables are not normally distributed because the significance is lacking.The Sharia Commercial Bank in dealing with Non-Performed Financing issues generally refers to the MUI Sharia Board Fatwa, Bank Indonesia Regulations, and OJK Regulations, which are with rescheduling, reconditioning, restructuring and  Write Off. This research is expected to be useful for stakeholders related to this research and for future researchers to be able to improve further research.

Authors: Wulan Febryyanti Nawang , Budiyanto Setiyo
Published: February 2022

Wilayah Rancaekek merupakan salah satu wilayah potential market di Kabupaten Bandung karena letaknya yang strategis sehingga diperlukan kapasitas jaringan yang sanggup memberikan layanan data pada setiap pengguna sebaik mungkin. Namun, berdasarkan hasil identifikasi data Operating Support System yang berawal dari custumer complain di wilayah Rancaekek dari salah satu operator, terdapat lima site dengan nilai rata-rata trafik yang tinggi yang ditunjukkan dari persentase penggunaan resource block melebihi 90% yang artinya melebihi batas toleransi operator tersebut yang mengakibatkan performansi jaringan LTE di wilayah tersebut tidak optimal. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, pada penelitian ini dilakukan penerapan metode inter-band carrier aggregation pada jaringan LTE-Advanced di wilayah Rancaekek dengan menggabungkan band 1 (2100 MHz) sebesar 10 MHz dan band 3 (1800 MHz) sebesar 10 MHz. Salah satu keuntungan dari penerapan metode ini adalah dapat menjadi solusi dalam meningkatkan kapasitas jaringan di wilayah yang memiliki trafik tinggi dengan memaksimalkan sumber daya yang dimiliki oleh operator. Simulasi penerapan metode ini dilakukan dengan dua skenario. Skenario pertama dengan band 3 (1800 MHz) sebagai primary component carrier. Sedangkan skenario kedua dengan band 1 (2100 MHz) sebagai primary component carrier. Berdasarkan hasil simulasi menggunakan software Atoll 3.3, diketahui dengan adanya carrier aggregation dapat meningkatkan rata-rata Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) menjadi -88,15 dBm dengan persentase kenaikan sebesar 3,72 %, rata-rata Signal to Interference Noise Ratio (SINR) menjadi 13,65 dB dengan persentase kenaikan sebesar 53,89 %, dan throughput menjadi 4.192 kbps dengan persentase kenaikan sebesar 181,5 %.

Why the increase in the retirement age will lead to more inequality and poverty? An ignored fairness problem
Authors: Stauvermann Peter , Kumar Ronald , Patel Arvind
Published: February 2022

In this study, we show with the help of a simple model that an increase of the retirement age has a negative impact on the distribution of pension benefits in the Bismarckian as well in the Beveridgean pension system. In both systems, the distribution of pension benefits will change in favour of high-income earners. Additionally, we show that the increasing gap in the life expectancies of low and high-income earners will increase inequality. Both results are a consequence of the positive relationship between the socio-economic status and life expectancy of a person. These important insights are often ignored by the promoters of pension reforms.
Is global climate change affecting intra-industry trade? Econometric evidence for the fisheries sector in Turkey
Authors: Tayyar Ahmet
Published: February 2022

The main objective of this study was to investigate whether the intraindustrial trade structure of the Turkish fisheries sector has been affected by global climate change. Therefore, the surface temperatures of the Black Sea, Marmara, Mediteranean and Aegean seas and the Grubel-Lloyd index values related to the sector for the period 1985-2017 were used as variables in the study. The Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds test was used to determine the cointegration relationship between variables and to predict longterm coefficients. The Error Correction Model (ECM) method was used to determine the short-term coefficients. According to the results of the analyses: (i) There is a long-term relationship between the variables; (ii) Increases in the surface temperature of the Aegean, Mediterranean and Marmara seas have reduced intra-industrial trade in the long-term; (iii) The increase in the Black Sea surface temperature has increased intra-industry trade in the long-term; (iv) The increase in sea surface temperatures has shown a tendency to increase intraindustry trade from the southern seas towards the northern seas in Turkey. Consequently, global climate change can be considered as a change in intra-industry trade for both the country and the industry.
Cybersecurity Research in Accounting Information Systems: A Review and Framework
Authors: Cram W. Alec , Wang Tawei , Yuan Jonathan
Published: February 2022

The study of cybersecurity issues plays a fundamental role in accounting information systems (AIS) research. However, as the importance of cybersecurity has continued to grow in other disciplines, such as computer science and management information systems, it has become less clear what is distinct about AIS-based cybersecurity research, what unique insights AIS research has contributed to the study of cybersecurity, and what promising directions for AIS research into cybersecurity remain untapped. In order to answer these questions, we perform a literature review covering 56 articles published in 11 AIS-oriented journals. We find four distinct, yet related, categories of research inquiry: cybersecurity risks and threats, cybersecurity controls, cybersecurity-related assurance, and cybersecurity breaches. In highlighting the key insights uncovered from these four areas, we frame “what we know,” as well as “what remains to be learned,” by outlining a detailed proposal of future research opportunities for AIS researchers.
An Evaluation of SEC 10-K Charts
Authors: Garrett Nathan
Published: February 2022

This project measured the effectiveness of charts in SEC 10-K filings. Amazon Mechanical Turk workers and business students participated in the online experiment. The first half of the study asked participants to interpret five charts rarely found in 10-K filings, including combo charts, scatterplots, stacked bars, relative waterfall charts, and absolute waterfall charts. While participants were successful with combo charts, stacked bars, and absolute waterfalls, half were unable to interpret a scatterplot, and only a handful understood relative waterfalls. The second half of the experiment tested the effects of the three most common design flaws found in 10-K charts. Users were influenced by each of the three flaws: line charts using a non-zero vertical axis, bar charts using an unlabeled non-zero vertical axis, and pie charts using a 3-D perspective. Accounting students should be better trained in deceptive chart designs, and companies should improve their 10-K charts.
A Positive Theory of Accounting-Based Management by Exception
Authors: Penno Mark C.
Published: February 2022

Under the widespread planning-and-control paradigm, organizations schedule their budgeting early in the period (planning) when the organization has more time to carefully reflect on the processes to be later controlled. I refer to a budgeting process that conveys thresholds to managers as management by exception (MBE), and model MBE as a limited communication device, which alleviates the manager's burden of retrieving the details from the planning phase while preserving enough information to maintain effective control. Accordingly, I identify a threshold-based MBE algorithm, which is shown to approximate the performance of a full-communication policy, suggesting that simple static threshold-based communication can be effective. The equivalence between a full-disclosure policy and perfectly flexible budgets helps to explain the popularity of static budgets in light of these findings. The results also challenge the accounting concept of materiality by suggesting that less important activities may actually have tighter thresholds.

Authors: Algeffari Metab , Hussain Sufyan , Almogbel Turki , Alsharidah Mansour , Alghadouni Habibah , Mahmood Farid
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

We determined the efficacy of self-administered subcutaneous mini-dose glucagon (MDG) to treat fasting-induced hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes (T1D).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This was a 4-week randomized, controlled crossover trial of 2-week MDG or 2-week oral glucose tablets (OG, control) involving 17 adults with T1D during Ramadan.

RESULTS

Compared with OG, MDG demonstrated a significant higher change in blood glucose from baseline to 30 min (Δt30, P < 0.001) and 1 h (Δt60, P = 0.02). The efficacy of MDG was preserved following ≥8 h fasting with significantly higher Δt30 in MDG (P = 0.01). Over the entire 2 weeks, MDG period had increased time in 70–180 mg/dL (P = 0.009) and less time <70 mg/dL (P = 0.04). MDG use resulted in higher completion of fasts compared with OG (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

MDG administration is an effective alternative to OG for prevention and treatment of fasting-induced hypoglycemia, offering improved glycemic control and promoting successful completion of prolonged fasts.
Study protocol: The SunBurst trial—a register-based, randomized controlled trial on thoracolumbar burst fractures
Authors: Blixt Simon , Mukka Sebastian , Försth Peter , Westin Olof , Gerdhem Paul ,   SunBurst study group
Published: February 2022

Background and purpose: The treatment for patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures without neurological deficit or complete rupture of the posterior ligament complex (PLC) is controversial and includes both surgical and non-surgical options. Current evidence on which treatment is optimal remains inconclusive. In this study we compare surgical with non-surgical treatment.
Methods: The study is a nationwide, multicenter, register-based randomized controlled trial (R-RCT). Patients with a thoracolumbar burst fracture will be identified by the Swedish Fracture Register. The admitting physician will be notified during the registration process and the patient will be screened for eligibility. Patients, 18 to 66 years old without neurologic deficit to more than a single nerve root and without complete rupture of the PLC, are eligible for the study. 202 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 relation to either surgical or non-surgical treatment. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Oswestry Disability Index(ODI) and radiological data, will be collected at the time of injury, after 3–4 months, and after 1 year. Additional data from national health registries will be collected after 1 year.
Outcome: The primary outcome is the ODI 1 year after injury. Secondary outcomes include additional PROMs, adverse events, drug consumption, sick leave, healthcare consumption, and imaging data.
Interpretation: The primary outcome is the ODI 1 year after injury. Secondary outcomes include additional PROMs, adverse events, drug consumption, sick leave, healthcare consumption, and imaging data. Estimated duration — The study started on September1, 2021 and will continue for approximately 4 years. Trial registration — The trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.com, NCT05003180.
