Future directions for integrative objective assessment of eating using wearable sensing technology
Authors: Skinner Andy , Toumpakari Zoi , Stone Christopher J , Johnson Laura
Published: March 2020

Established methods for nutritional assessment suffer from a number of important limitations. Diaries are burdensome to complete, food frequency questionnaires only capture average food intake, and both suffer from difficulties in self estimation of portion size and biases resulting from misreporting. Online and app versions of these methods have been developed, but issues with misreporting and portion size estimation remain. New methods utilising passive data capture are required that address reporting bias, extend timescales for data collection, and transform what is possible for measuring habitual intakes. Digital and sensing technologies are enabling the development of innovative and transformative new methods in this area that will provide a better understanding of eating behaviour and associations with health. In this article we describe how wrist-worn wearables, on-body cameras, and body-mounted biosensors can be used to capture data about when, what and how much people eat and drink. We illustrate how these new techniques can be integrated to provide complete solutions for the passive, objective assessment of a wide range of traditional dietary factors, as well as novel measures of eating architecture, within person variation in intakes, and food/nutrient combinations within meals. We also discuss some of the challenges these new approaches will bring.

Published: March 2020

The recent emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 in China has raised the spectre of a novel, potentially catastrophic pandemic in both scientific and lay communities throughout the world. In this particular context, people have been accused of being excessively pessimistic regarding the future consequences of this emerging health threat. However, consistent with previous research in social psychology, a large survey conducted in Europe in the early stage of the COVID-19 epidemic shows that the majority of respondents was actually overly optimistic about the risk of infection.
Pre-consultation information about one’s physician can affect trust and treatment outcome expectations
Authors: Peerdeman Kaya , Hinnen Chris , van Vliet Liesbeth , Evers Andrea W.M.
Published: March 2020

Objective: Information about physicians’ skills is increasingly available on the internet and consulted by patients. The impact of such information on patient expectations is largely unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether pre-consultation information about the competence and empathic skills of a physician may impact pre-consultation trust and treatment outcome expectations in mild and severe medical conditions.Methods: In this experimental web-based study, participants (n=237) read vignettes describing competence and empathic skills (low versus high) of a fictive physician who would surgically remove a mole or melanoma (low versus high severity). Participants next rated trust in the physician and treatment outcome expectations.Results: High physician’s competence and empathy raised pre-consultation trust in the physician, regardless of condition severity. Both high competence and empathy also increased expected surgery success, while only high competence reduced expected side effects.Conclusion: Pre-consultation information highlighting a physician’s competence and/or empathy may lead to higher trust in that physician, higher expected surgery success, and lower expected side effects. Practice Implications: Physicians and hospital staff should be aware of the effects of online information available and might, for example, provide profiles on hospital websites emphasizing competence and empathy of healthcare providers.
Are Humans Constantly but Subconsciously Smelling Themselves?
Authors: Perl Ofer , Mishor Eva , Ravia Aharon , Ravreby Inbal , Sobel Noam
Published: March 2020

All primates, including humans, engage in self-face-touching at very high frequency. The functional purpose or antecedents of this behaviour remain unclear. In this hybrid review we put forth the hypothesis that self-face-touching subserves self-smelling. We first review data implying that humans touch their own face at very high frequency. We then detail evidence from the one study that implicated an olfactory origin for this behaviour: This evidence consists of significantly increased nasal inhalation concurrent with self-face-touching, and predictable increases or decreases in self-face-touching as a function of subliminal odourant tainting. Although we speculate that self-smelling through self-face-touching is largely an unconscious act, we note that in addition, humans also consciously smell themselves at high frequency. To verify this added statement, we administered an online self-report questionnaire. Upon being asked, ~94% of ~400 respondents acknowledged engaging in smelling themselves. Paradoxically, we observe that although this very prevalent behaviour of self-smelling is of concern to individuals, especially to parents of children overtly exhibiting self-smelling, the behaviour has nearly no traction in the medical or psychological literature. We suggest psychological and cultural explanations for this paradox, and end in suggesting that human self-smelling become a formal topic of investigation in the study of human social olfaction.
Think fast! The implications of emphasizing urgency in decision-making
Authors: Evans Nathan J.
Published: March 2020

Evidence accumulation models (EAMs) have become the dominant explanation of how the decision-making process operates, proposing that decisions are the result of a process of evidence accumulation. The primary use of EAMs has been as "measurement tools" of the underlying decision-making process, where researchers apply EAMs to empirical data to estimate participants' task ability (i.e., the "drift rate"), response caution (i.e., the "decision threshold"), and the time taken for other processes (i.e., the "non-decision time"), making EAMs a powerful tool for discriminating between competing psychological theories. Recent studies have brought into question the mapping between the latent parameters of EAMs and the theoretical constructs that they are thought to represent, showing that emphasizing urgent responding -- which intuitively should selectively influence decision threshold -- may also influence drift rate and/or non-decision time. However, these findings have been mixed, leading to differences in opinion between experts in the field. The current study aims to provide a more conclusive answer to the implications of emphasizing urgent responding, providing a re-analyse of 6 data sets from previous studies using two different EAMs -- the diffusion model and the linear ballistic accumulator (LBA) -- with state-of-the-art methods for model selection based inference. The findings display clear evidence for a difference in conclusions between the two models, with the diffusion model suggesting that decision threshold and non-decision time decrease when urgency is emphasized, and the LBA suggesting that decision threshold and drift rate decrease when urgency is emphasized. Furthermore, although these models disagree regarding whether non-decision time or drift rate decrease under urgency emphasis, both show clear evidence that emphasizing urgency does not selectively influence decision threshold. These findings suggest that researchers should revise their assumptions about certain experimental manipulations, the specification of certain EAMs, or perhaps both.
Aversive Textures and Their Role in Food Rejection
Authors: Pellegrino Robert , Luckett Curtis
Published: March 2020

Texture is a prominent feature in foods and consequently can be the reason a food is accepted or rejected. However, other sensory attributes, such as flavor/taste, aroma, sound and appearance may also lead to the rejection of food and motivations other than unpleasantness exist in unacceptance. To date, these motivations for food rejection have been studied in isolation and their relationships with psychological factors have not been tested. This study measured reasons people reject a food and probed into the specifics of texture rejection. A large U.S. sample (N=473) was asked to rate their motivations for rejecting a food, list foods that were disliked due to unpleasant sensory attributes, specify the unpleasant sensory attribute(s), and complete an assessment of general touch sensitivity. Results showed 94% of individuals reject a food due to its texture, a rate comparable to flavor-based rejection. Looking at the number of foods being rejected, flavor was the most common food attribute, followed by texture and then aroma. From a linguistic standpoint, aversive textures encompass a large vocabulary, larger than liked textures, and the same food may be rejected due to a single or combination of texture terms. Viscosity (e.g. slimy) and hardness (e.g. mushy) are the most common aversive texture types, but through cluster analysis subsets of individuals were identified that are more aversive to other textures. This study emphasizes the role of aversive textures in food rejection and provides many avenues for future investigations.
Environmental Attitude in the 28 Member States of the European Union: Cross-Cultural Comparisons Grounded in Incommensurable Measurement Instruments
Authors: Urban Jan , Kaiser Florian G.
Published: March 2020

Cross-cultural research faces a nearly unsurmountable challenge: Psychological attributes must be assessed with formally equivalent (i.e., commensurable) measurement instruments. Otherwise, meaningful comparisons of attributes, such as attitude levels, across societies are impossible. As commensurable attitude measures have been an unattainable goal so far in cross-cultural research, we employ an alternative, item response theory-based approach that explicitly models the incommensurability of measures in its comparison of people’s environmental attitude levels among countries. In our reanalysis of Eurobarometer data (N = 27,998), we found significant differences in people’s environmental attitude in the 28 states of the European Union, with Sweden at the high end and Poland at the low end of the spectrum. Despite the differences between countries though, the within-country variability substantially exceeded the between-country variability. Thus, we conclude that personal influences carry comparatively more weight than societal influences when we aim to promote environmental protection in Europe.
The Effects of Spanking on Psychosocial Outcomes: Revisiting Genetic and Environmental Covariation
Authors: Barbaro Nicole , Connolly Eric J. , Sogge Madi , Shackelford Todd K. , Boutwell Brian
Published: March 2020

The current research analyzed data from the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (Study 1) and conducted simulation models using parameters from the literature (Study 2) to provide a summative evaluation of the psychosocial effects of spanking with regard to genetic and nonshared environmental covariation. Results of Study 1 replicated previous work showing that associations between spanking and outcomes of delinquency, depression, and alcohol use were explained by moderate-to-large degrees of genetic covariation, and small-to-moderate degrees of nonshared environmental covariation. Simulation estimates from Study 2 suggest that genetic covariation could account for a substantial amount of the phenotypic effect between spanking and psychosocial outcomes (≈60%-80%), with the remainder likely attributable to nonshared environmental covariation (≈0%-40%). The results of the current research indicate that continued work on the effects of spanking is best served by behavior genetic research on a broader range of outcomes than what is currently available.
Development of a cumulative metric of vaccination adherence behavior and its application among a cohort of 12-month-olds in western Kenya
Authors: Benzaken Casey , Miller Joshua , Onono Maricianah , Young Sera
Published: March 2020

Objectives: The timely receipt of the recommended vaccination regimen, i.e. vaccination maintenance, is an underexplored, but important, indicator of public health. However, there is currently no standardized method for quantifying cumulative vaccination maintenance, and no simple way to explore predictors of adherence to vaccination schedules. We therefore sought to 1) develop a Vaccination Maintenance Score (VMS) and 2) apply this score to determine the predictors of vaccination behavior among infants in western Kenya (n=245).Methods: Women in western Kenya were enrolled during pregnancy and surveyed repeatedly through one year postpartum. Data were collected on a range of sociodemographic and health indicators and vaccinations. For each infant, we analyzed receipt of 11 vaccines recommended by the Kenyan Ministry of Health. We operationalized VMS as the total number of vaccines received on schedule. Vaccines that were not received or received off-schedule were scored 0. VMS was modeled using multivariable tobit regression models.Results: We found that 85.7% of infants were fully immunized, but only 42.4% had optimal VMS, i.e. scored 11. The median(IQR) VMS was 10(3). In multivariable regression, each one-point increase in maternal quality of life score (range: 0-32) was associated with a 0.22-point increase in VMS; each additional child in the household was associated with a 0.34-point increase in VMS; and initiating breastfeeding at birth was associated a 2.01-point increase in VMS.Conclusions: Coverage of the recommended vaccinations (85.7%) was nearly twice as high as the cumulative timely receipt (42.4%). The VMS satisfies a need for a location-specific but easily adaptable metric of vaccination adherence behavior. It can be used to complement traditional methods of vaccination coverage and timeliness to better understand underlying behaviors that influence vaccination events, and thereby inform interventions to improve vaccination rates and decrease the burden of vaccine-preventable disease.

Addressing Some Physical Misconceptions in Electrostatics of Freshman Engineering Students
Authors: Tit Nacir , Seyd-Darwish Iyad , Hashish Adel H.
Published: March 2020

While the electrostatics is important topic consisting one among the four pillars of electromagnetic theory, as being represented by Gauss’s law, students persist encountering difficulties in its understanding. Even though the trend looks universal, we triggered an investigation to search for the main reasons behind the students’ misconceptions of electric field and flux aiming to analyze their origins and to search for intervention pathways to make corrections and, thus, to enhance the students learning of these physical concepts. The subject of our statistical sample is a group of 211 freshman engineering students taking the course of “Physics and Engineering Applications II”. Tests were designed for the diagnosis of the origins of students’ struggles in an attempt to find plausible interventional solutions to reduce the effects. Indeed, the statistics of results shows evidence of deviation of students in figuring out the correct answers and characterizes the depths of the misconceptions and shortcomings. Under the light of our discussions, alternative interventions are suggested to reduce the size of difficulties in learning and to pave the way for better understanding of the physical concepts and achieving better results.

The article explores aspects of modern advertising discourse implementation. The patterns of realization of interaction between advertising and consumers are characterized. The basic functionality of advertising as a communication tool is defined. The article describes strengths and weaknesses in the organization of advertising communication and notes positive features and disadvantages of advertising. Advertising is presented as an important component of the marketing communication system. It is emphasized that the efficiency of marketing communications is due to their strategic planning, therefore, marketing communications is a peculiar strategy of communication with the target audience, which involves its comprehensive coverage. It is noted that the traditional dominant means of the marketing communications system is advertising, which can adapt in the context of modern social transformations. It has been determined that advertising, as a form of mass communication, requires certain transformations due to modern trends in the economic market. The shortcomings of advertising include lack of personal contact with the audience, obtrusiveness and addiction that require a certain correction. The article examines the essence of the concept of integrated marketing communications (IMC), which consists in a kind of synthesis of communication means and the possibility of their complementarity, by overcoming the shortcomings of some communication elements by others, which will contribute to the expansion of the range of interaction with consumers. Advertising in the marketing communications system has been interpreted as an important component of a customer engagement strategy. Possible variants of advertising supplementation by other communication means are shown, the advantages of which can offset the disadvantages in advertising communication. It is noted that the complex simultaneous use of marketing communications increases the influence and contributes to increasing the pragmatic effect of such communication. The necessity of strategic planning of communication with consideration of specific communication characteristics of each medium and possibility of interchangeability are emphasized.

Key words: advertising, advertising discourse, marketing communications, integrated marketing communications, communication.

Termite control costs $1.5 billion per year in the United States alone, and methods for termite control usually consist of chemical pesticides. However, these methods have their drawbacks, which include the development of resistance, environmental pollution, and toxicity to other organisms. Biological termite control, which employs the use of living organisms to combat pests, offers an alternative to chemical pesticides. This study highlights the discovery of a fungus, termed “APU strain,” that was hypothesized to be pathogenic to termites. Phylogenetic and morphological analysis showed that the fungus is a strain of Aspergillus sclerotiorum, andexperiments showed that both western drywood (Incisitermes minor) and western subterranean (Reticulitermes hesperus) termites die in a dose-dependent manner exposed to fungal spores of A. sclerotiorum APU strain. In addition, exposure to the A. sclerotiorum Huber strain elicited death in a similar manner as the APU strain. The mechanism by which the fungus caused termite death is still unknown and warrants further investigation. While these results support that A. sclerotiorum is a termite pathogen, further studies are needed to determine whether the fungal species has potential as a biological control agent.

Waterfowl Influence on Fecal Indicator Bacteria in Central Florida Freshwater Lakes
Authors: Schomaker Rachel , Gasper Brittany
Published: March 2020

Bacteria are important natural components of virtually every environment, including water systems. While many are beneficial to the ecosystem in which they are found, some can be indicators of pathogens that can endanger human health. Fecal coliform bacteria such as Escherichia coli are bacterial indicators that can originate from many of the same sources as pathogenic bacteria and serve as a sign that pathogens may be present. These bacterial counts can be influenced by many different well-studied environmental factors, including pH, temperature, and nutrient availability. In addition to these factors, mammalian and waterfowl presence can influence coliform abundance. While this area of research has been examined before, conflicting conclusions have been reached as to whether or not waterfowl abundance positively correlates with coliform bacteria abundance. Levels of E. coli as well as Enterococcus, a genus of non-coliform bacterial organisms that are also found in high concentrations in feces, were measured by membrane filtration of water samples collected from six freshwater lakes around Lakeland, FL and were isolated from fresh fecal samples that were simultaneously collected from waterfowl species present at the lakes. Results suggest a correlation between the abundance of E. coli and the presence of waterfowl.

The present study evaluates the antiviral activity of banana lectin (BanLec) against herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2). Lectin was isolated from the ripen pulp of bananas (Musa paradisiaca). The study showed that lectin exhibited hemagglutination activity towards human erythrocytes A, B, AB and O group. The molecular weight of BanLec using SDS gel-electrophoresis was found to be 14,000-30,000 Da. Cytotoxicity of BanLec on the Vero cell lines showed an inhibitory concentration of 172.7 µg/mL. BanLec was virucidal and showed no cytotoxicity at the concentration tested. The lectin showed a dose-dependent antiviral activities, inhibiting HSV-1 by 16.0 µg/mL with selectivity index 10.8 and HSV-2 inhibition by 67.7 µg/mL with selectivity index 2.6. These results corroborate that BanLec could be a rich source of potential antiviral compound for HSV-1 when compared to HSV-2.

The study was designed to see the effects of tetracycline and clotrimazole on the altered skin flora (Aspergillus and Enterobacter species) in 38 patients with palmar arsenical keratosis. The skin swab and scrapping samples were collected. Tetracycline, clotrimazole and their combination were given as ointment for 3 months. Clotrimazole and tetracycline were found to inhibit the growth of Aspergillus spp. and Enterobacter spp. in vitro. A pH-dependent inhibition of the growth of microorganisms in presence of these antimicrobials was observed, which was highest at pH 8. The percentage reduction of keratotic nodular size was 32.9, 66.1, 61.1 and 32.5 in the groups treated with placebo, tetracycline, clotrimazole and the combination of both, respectively. But none of the interventions was proved statistically significant. No remarkable adverse effect was reported. In conclusion, clotrimazole or tetracycline inhibits the growth of Aspergillus spp. or Enterobacter spp. in vitro. However, there was no statistically significant clinical improvement of the palmar arsenical keratosis.

Published: March 2020

A congenital heart defect is a heart problem which is present at birth, caused by improper development of the heart during fetal development. In majority of cases there is no known reason for the heart to develop improperly. Some type of congenital heart defects are related to chromosomal abnormality(5-6%), some are to single gene defect(3-5%) or environmental factors(2%). In 85-90% of cases there is no identifiable cause and are generally considered to be caused by multifactorial inheritance. There are some maternal factors which have some role in cardiovascular malformations. These include high maternal age(above 30 years), maternal obesity, consanguinity among the parents, fever during pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol consumption, ingestion of any teratogenic drug including homeopathy and herbal medicine.

Objective of the study: To evaluate the risk factors associated with congenital heart disease.

Methodology: A case control study was conducted at paediatric department of Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital following approval of the protocol from 1st January 2013 to 30th June 2014. Children fulfilling the inclusion criteria-(0-5 year old children of both sexes admitted in paediatric units of Mitford Hospital with any type of congenital heart disease confirmed by echocardiography) were considered as cases. A similar number of age and sex matched children admitted in Mitford Hospital without any cardiac defect were considered as controls. Data were collected by questionnaire.

Results: The results show that majority of the cases are male. Maternal age (27.09 ± 4.63) and BMI (24.10 ± 2.28) both are significantly higher in cases than those of controls. Among the cases 31.8% mothers had consanguineous marriage (p=0.001) and 27.1% mothers had history of fever during pregnancy whereas it was present in 9.3% mothers of controls, the difference is significant statistically (p=0.001). Among the cases 34.6% mothers had history of gestational diabetes mellitus and only 18.9% controls had so and the difference is significant statistically (p=0.014).

Conclusion: Relatively old age and more weight during pregnancy, consanguinity between parents, fever during pregnancy, history of gestational diabetes mellitus are the main risk factors of congenital heart defects in children

Published: March 2020

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum lipid status in patients with PCOS and to compare the lipid status between PCOS patients and woman without PCOS.

Methods: This cross sectional analytical study was carried out in 50 women diagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome on the basis of Rotterdam Criteria (group I) and 50 women of reproductive age group without polycystic ovary syndrome (group II) attending the outpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka during the period of July 2013 to June 2015.

Results: The mean total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL were significantly (p<0.005) higher in group I but mean HDL cholesterol was not significantly (p>0.05) associated with PCOS. Patients with raised total cholesterol : HDL ratio having the risk of developing dyslipidemia estimated to be 11.16 (95% CI = 3.9-33.1) times higher in PCOS patients than that in the group II. In multivariate logistic regression analysis of lipid profile, only raised LDL-C (>130 mg/dl) was found to be significantly associated with PCOS (p<0.05).

Conclusion: High LDL level was more associated with PCOS followed by TC, TG and TC:HDL ratio. This study demonstrated a higher level of dyslipidemia specially in PCOS with higher BMI.

Background: To study the incidence, clinical presentation and to observe comparison of different sinonasal masses.

Materials and Methods: This Prospective study was carried out from January 2017 to December 2018. Data were collected from 100 patients presented with sinonasal masses. This study is based on history, clinical, radiological, laboratory and histopathological examination.

Results: During the study period, 100 patients presented with sinonasal masses (male 60, female 40; age group 8-70 years).Nasal polyploid masses were non-neoplastic in 70 (70%) subjects, and neoplastic in 30 (30%) cases. Nasal obstruction was the most common (95%) presenting complaint, followed by rhinorrhoea (48%), hyposmia (30%), intermittent epistaxis (17%), headache (15%), facial swelling (10%) and eye-related symptoms (10%). The most common site of origin of polyploid masses was the middle meatus (54%) followed by the lateral wall of the nasal cavity (15%) and superior meatus (11%). unilateral nasal masses was present in 49% patients, while the remaining patients had bilateral nasal masses. Allergic (60%) and inflammatory (28.5%) polyps were the most common non-neoplastic mass, inverted papilloma (41.17%) and haemangioma (35.29%) were most common benign neoplastic mass; 92.3% of all malignant masses were squamous cell carcinoma. Surgery was the major mode of treatment. it included Caldwell-luc operation (7%), polypectomy (10%), excision of mass (25.0%) and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (44%). Malignancies were treated with radiotherapy or Surgery followed by radiotherapy or Chemoradiotherapy.

Conclusions: The masses in nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx encompass a wide spectrum of common and rare diseases and are very common lesions encountered in clinical practice. Endoscopic examination and advanced imaging technique help to reach a presumptive diagnosis but histopathological examination remains the mainstay of final definitive diagnosis.

Published: March 2020

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a major public health issue. It is important to have a clear understanding about the relationship between clinical features (Pain, functional impairment) and radiographic findings to select appropriate treatment option.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between pain, loss of physical function, and radiographic findings in OA of the knee joint.

Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study on 90 patients aged 40 years and above with OA of the knee joint selected randomly. Severity of the knee pain and functional impairment were measured using the Bangla version of WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index). Radiograph of the knee joint were assessed with the Kellgren- Lawrence grading scale.

Results: The mean of the age, BMI (body mass index) and duration of pain was respectively 54.2 (± 9.5) years, 26.0 (± 3.4) kg/m2 and 3.6 (± 2.8) years. Male female ratio was 1:1.6. 55% of the patients had the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of 1-3. The Pain and physical function were associated with OA of the knee where the mean physical function score was 45.1 ± 4.2 in patients who had pain score of >10. However pain and physical function was not associated with the radiographic findings of the OA of the knee.

Conclusion: The treatment planning for the OA of the knee should be based on clinical presentation rather than radiographic findings.
