Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed nonskin cancer for Canadian men and has one of the highest 5-year survival rates, straining systems to provide care. Virtual care can be one way to relieve this strain, but survivors’ care needs and technology use are influenced by intersecting social and cultural structures. Cultural adaptation has been posited as an effective method to tailor existing interventions to better serve racialized communities, including Chinese men. However, cultural adaptations may inadvertently draw attention away from addressing structural inequities.

OBJECTIVE

This study used qualitative methods to (1) explore the perceptions and experiences of Chinese Canadian PCa survivors with follow-up and virtual care, and (2) identify implications for the cultural adaptation of a PCa follow-up care app, the Ned (no evidence of disease) Clinic.

METHODS

An axiology of relational accountability and a relational paradigm underpinned our phenomenologically informed exploratory-descriptive qualitative study design. A community-based participatory approach was used, informed by cultural safety and user-centered design principles, to invite Chinese Canadian PCa survivors and their caregivers to share their stories. Data were inductively analyzed to explore their unmet needs, common experiences, and levels of digital literacy.

RESULTS

Unmet needs and technology preferences were similar to broader trends within the wider community of PCa survivors. However, participants indicated that they felt uncomfortable, unable to, or ignored when expressing their needs. Responses spoke to a sense of isolation and reflected a reliance on culturally informed coping mechanisms, such as “eating bitterness,” and familial assistance to overcome systemic barriers and gaps in care. Moreover, virtual care was viewed as “better than nothing;” it did not change a perceived lack of focus on improving quality of life or care continuity in survivorship care. Systemic changes were identified as likely to be more effective in improving care delivery and well-being rather than the cultural adaptation of Ned for Chinese Canadians. Participants’ desires for care reflected accessibility issues that were not culturally specific to Chinese Canadians.

CONCLUSIONS

Chinese Canadian survivors are seeking to strengthen their connections in a health care system that provides privacy and accessibility, protects relationality, and promotes transparency, accountability, and responsibility. Designing “trickle-up” adaptations that address structural inequities and emphasize accessibility, relationality, and privacy may be more effective and efficient at improving care than creating cultural adaptations of interventions.
Learnings in Digital Health Design: Insights From a Pilot Web App for Structured Note-Taking for Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis (Preprint)
Authors: Srivastava Ujwal , Dasari Shobha , Shah Neha
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Patients fail to accurately remember 40% to 80% of medical information relayed during doctor appointments, and most standard after-visit summaries fail to effectively help patients comply with behaviors to manage their health conditions. The value of technology to empower and engage patients in their health management has been shown, and here we apply technology to help patients remember and act upon information communicated during their medical appointments.

OBJECTIVE

We describe the development of WellNote, a digital notebook designed for patients to create a customized plan to manage their condition, plan for their appointments, track important actions (eg, medications and labs), and receive reminders for appointments and labs.

METHODS

For this pilot, we chose to focus on rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic condition that relies on many of these features. The development of WellNote followed a structured method based on design thinking and co-design principles, with the app built in close collaboration with patients and a physician partner to ensure clinical relevance. Our design process consisted of 3 rounds: patient and physician interviews, visual prototypes, and a functional pilot app.

RESULTS

Over the course of the design process, WellNote’s features were refined, with the final version being a digital notebook designed for patients with rheumatoid arthritis to manage their health by helping them track medications and labs and plan for appointments. It features several pages, like a dashboard, patient profile, appointment notes, preplanning, medication management, lab tracking, appointment archives, reminders, and a pillbox for medication visualization.

CONCLUSIONS

WellNote’s active and structured note-taking features allow patients to clearly document the information from their physician without detracting from the conversation, helping the patient to become more empowered and engaged in their health management. The co-design process empowered these stakeholders to share their needs and participate in the development of a solution that truly solves pain points for these groups. This viewpoint highlights the role of digital health tools and the co-design of new health care innovations to empower patients and support clinicians.
Economic Implication of Crude Oil Theft in Nigeria
Authors: Moses Bakpo T.
Published: May 2023

This study is carried out against the backdrop of oil theft as a threat to the economy and security of Nigeria. The study relied on existing literature on the problem and also draws from the Resource Curse Theory. The importance of crude oil to the economic development of Nigeria is also stressed. The reasons why crude oil should be sustained also form the epicentre of our discussion. The threat of the nefarious act on the security of the country is one of the main thrust of this work. The Dutch disease is identified as an economic explanation of the resource curse theory and this is used to explain the economic implication of oil theft in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. The paper posited that the implications on sustainable economic development include; reduced revenue, increased unemployment and diversification of the economy. Other implications include sustainable conflict, possession of arms, curb social development and displacement of persons. To fight the illicit practice of oil theft, it is recommended that transparency and accountability should be adhered to while security operatives should be re-oriented on the ethics of their job and there should be close relationship among government, oil producing communities and multinational corporations.

Overview of international and Moscow experience in urban renovation
Authors: Kolobova Svetlana V.
Published: May 2023

Introduction. The problem of rehabilitation and modernization of panel residential buildings covered many European countries in the nineties. The renovation programme started in Moscow in 2017. Despite the typical panel mass housing construction in European countries and in Russia, there are still many urban planning, architectural and construction differences, and therefore different methods of residential renovation have been adopted. Considerable positive and negative construction experience has been accumulated over the past period which should be taken into account for the extension of the renovation to Russian regions.

Materials and methods. The analysis of socio-economic methods of rehabilitation and modernization of residential buildings in several European countries was carried out, and the experience of residential buildings renovation in Moscow was studied in detail. The organizational and financial conditions for the implementation of residential rehabilitation and renovation programs have been studied and a number of features have been noted.

Results. Based on the studied methods of implementation of rehabilitation, modernization and renovation programs in Euro­pean cities and in Moscow, a table with positive and negative factors was compiled. Considering these factors, a flowchart for the choice of renovation method in relation to the specific built-up area was developed. The socio-economic vector ofthe renovation programme on the management of the housing and communal services has been proposed.

Conclusions. When choosing a method of renovation of residential buildings, it is necessary to consider the interests of residents and business entities. For megacities where the number and density of the population is high, the Moscow model of renovation may be preferable, taking into account positive and negative experience. For small cities in Russia, where low-rise buildings are of historical and architectural value and a population density is low, the European renovation experience can be applied. When developing renovation programs, it is important to maintain a balance between new construction and the preservation of historically established urban development.

Authors: Semenov V. A. , Ereshkin V. V.
Published: May 2023

In the new history of present states, one of the main risks to the socio-economic development of society is corruption. The fight against it is based on the development of normative and legal acts, prevention and prevention, information and investigative activities, and is expressed in the form of deterrence and counteraction.

The fundamental regulatory framework is the “United Nations Convention against Corruption” (adopted in New York on October 31, 2003 by Resolution 58/4 at the 51st plenary session of the 58th UN General Assembly), the Federal Law “On Countering Corruption” of 12/25/2008 N 273-FL. At the same time, to date, combating corruption in local government is regulated superficially and is formal in character. Due to the actual closed nature of the activities and peculiarities of the functioning of local government, the issues of corruption are not fully studied in order to provide effective prevention and counteraction.

The possibility of a detailed study of corruptionogenic factors of local government and the development of methods of counteraction became possible after the elections of 2019, after which non-systemic municipal deputies were elected to the representative bodies of local government. Exercising the powers in the representative body of local government, municipal deputies independent from the territorial executive bodies of state power were able to study the specifics of the functioning of local government, make public the issues of the problem field, identify vulnerable places in the activities, take response measures and make appropriate practical conclusions.

The purpose of this article is to establish the causes of the emergence of corruption in local government on the example of a separate municipality of the MO Svetlanovskoye of St. Petersburg. Study of the causes of the emergence of corruptionogenic factors, search and proposal of possible ways to address the issue of effective counteraction to corruption in local government in the new conditions of life of modern society.

On the basis of the study the authors declare the need to take specific measures of response of the public authorities of the subject of the Russian Federation and the representative body of local government, aimed at creating certain conditions for effective counteraction and prevention of corruption, minimizing the consequences of corruptogenic factors in the modern conditions of democratic functioning of local government.

Authors: Wang Yaxin
Published: May 2023

This article summarises the characteristics of the current platform for BRICS scientific research and cooperation in the Arctic. The BRICS countries’ activities for the development of the Arctic region are analysed. The Arctic cooperation platform is explored through an analysis of official documents, a review of ongoing official events. The BRICS countries are implementing relevant joint projects to develop and explore the Arctic, on the one hand realising their own needs, and on the other using the specific advantages of their economic systems. From time to time, they organise and hold multilateral meetings and conferences. However, most cooperation takes place in a bilateral format. It is based on the organisation of conferences, cooperation between research institutes and joint training. This helps the BRICS countries to expand their influence in the Arctic. Based on an analysis of the identified materials, including projects developed to date but not yet implemented, the author seeks to summarise the main characteristics and features of BRICS Arctic cooperation and to identify its strengths and weaknesses. The conclusions of the paper present relevant proposals for improving the effectiveness of the BRICS countries’ joint work on the Arctic agenda in the medium term.

Variations in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core sequence have been related to disease progression and response to antiviral therapy. Previously we showed that the methylation status of RASSF1A and p16 genes, and IL28B genotypes affects the response to pegylated interferon/ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) therapy. Herein we investigated whether amino acid (aa) substitutions in the HCV core region alone or in combination with IL28B genotypes and RASSF1A/p16 methylation affect the response to PEG-IFN/RBV therapy and liver disease progression. Among 29 examined patients, we found no association between single aa substitutions and response to therapy. However, we observed that patients with the HCV core aa substitution at position 75 and CT/TT IL28B genotypes were non-responders (NR), (P=0.023). Moreover, these patients had unmethylated RASSF1A. In contrast, most patients (75%) with aa substitutions at position 91 and CC IL28B genotype achieved sustained virologic response (SVR), (P=0.030), and 70% of them had methylated RASSF1A gene. Our results suggest that combined analysis of aa substitutions in the core protein, the IL28B rs12979860 polymorphism, and the methylation status of the RASSF1A gene may help in predicting treatment response to PEG-IFN/RBV in genotype 1b chronic hepatitis C patients.

The Conventional Concrete was elaborated with 100% of Portland cement, and the Sustainable Concretes with partial substitution of Portland cement for the waste of SCBA and SF in percentages of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%. The results through the application of phenolphthalein, indicate that the Carbonation depth is proportional to the increase of the substitution of Portland Cement for agro-industrial and industrial waste. The sustainable concrete with 50% of substitution of SCBA-SF presents the worst performance, with a carbonation depth of 1.48 cm, which represents an increment of more of 350% than the conventional concrete at being exposed for one year to the present environment of study.
Dance and Performance: Performing the Wedding Ritual Outside of Its Context
Authors: Filippidou Eleni
Published: May 2023

Marriage is a statute that seeks the reproductive union of the two genders, and the customs that accompany it are performed continuously even to this day. Nevertheless, this is not the case in the community of Pentalofos in Evros prefecture in Greece, where the wedding customs have stopped being celebrated, mainly due to the lack of new people in the community and therefore the lack of weddings. These customs are now experienced in a different way by the members of the cultural association of the community, who represent them outside of their context, in a different time and place. Thus, the aim of this paper is to study the wedding customs in the community of Pantalofos in the Evros region in Greece, treating their representation as a planned performance. The collection of research data was carried out with the ethnographic method, as this applied to the study of dance. For presentation and data analysis Geert’s model of ‘thick description’ was adopted, as in ethnographic method the analysis and interpretation of the data is done simultaneously. Finally, for the interpretation of the research data, the performance theory was used, according to which society can be seen in the light of a dramaturgical perspective, i.e. as a theater, where the performers unconsciously play multiple roles. From the analysis of the data it was found that the revival of marriage customs was a theatrical performance, which included an organizer, two coordinators and many actors. The women of the cultural association have functioned as actors with specific roles and the rituals which they performed was lost a degree of their character, but women experienced the performance of marriage rituals in a different way. For them, the wedding customs were a different experience, in a different reality.

Die Erforschung von Interferenzerscheinungen wurde im Bereich der Dolmetschwissenschaft bislang vernachlässigt, obwohl das Phänomen sowohl aus linguistischer als auch aus dolmetschprozessorientierter Perspektive interessant ist, da es ermöglicht, sprachspezifische Unterschiede, Sprachverarbeitungsprozesse sowie Herausforderungen und Strategien beim Simultandolmetschen zu erfassen. In der vorliegenden Publikation werden die im Rahmen eines Dissertationsprojektes erhobenen Daten dargestellt, welche Aufschluss über Interferenzen beim Simultandolmetschen in die A-Sprache in der Sprachkombination Spanisch-Deutsch geben.

Bu çalışma kapsamında Kayseri – Soğanlı yerleşim yerinde meydana gelebilecek kaya düşmeleri ampirik olarak enerji açısı yöntemiyle ve 3-boyutlu olasılıksal kaya düşme modellemeleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Yüksek çözünürlüklü sayısal yüzey modeli (SYM) insansız hava aracı (İHA) ile elde edilen yüksek çözünürlüklü ortofoto yardımıyla elde edilmiştir. SYM üzerinde 3-boyutlu olasılıksal kaya düşme simülasyonları, CONEFALL yazılımı yardımıyla enerji çizgi açısı yöntemine göre kaya düşme zonları belirlenerek gerçekleştirilmiştir. Geçmişte düşmüş olan kaya blokların en, boy ve yükseklikleri arazi çalışmaları ve İHA ile oluşturulan ortofoto üzerinden belirlenmiştir. 3-boyutlu olasılıksal analizler neticesinde 3 m’lik kaya bloklarının yamaç boyunca hareketi esnasında kinetik enerji değerleri maksimum 15,000 kJ, sıçrama yüksekliği ise 15 m olarak belirlenmiştir. Enerji çizgi açısı yöntemi dikkate alındığında, incelenen yamacın güney kesiminde daha önceden düşen blokların çoğunlukla 40°’lik enerji çizgi açısı zonunda yoğunlaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan, 3 m blok boyutu için yapılan olasılıksal 3-boyutlu kaya düşme analizlerinden elde edilen yuvarlanma hatları en fazla 30°’lik enerji çizgi açısı zonuna kadar ulaşsa da, özellikle yamacın güney kesiminde bu yuvarlanma hatları 40°’lik enerji çizgi açısı zonunda sonlanmaktadır. Buna göre, ampirik yöntem, 3-boyutlu olasılıksal yöntem ve arazide ölçülen blokların konumları genel olarak uyum göstermektedir.

Invite & Convite: Territorio, cultura arte y cercanía, es un ejercicio que hace parte de los talleres de creación de Diálogos del territorio entre Boyacá y Santander: Estéticas, saberes y patrimonio, proyecto financiado con recursos provenientes del patrimonio autónomo, fondo nacional de financiamiento para la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación, Francisco José de Caldas. En este espacio de reflexión desde el hacer creativo y colaborativo, artistas de Boyacá y Santander trabajaron en torno al tema del territorio para reconocerlo, hurgar en su historia, tejer la trama que entrelaza a quienes lo habitan, a quienes lo expresan, a quienes lo sueñan y representan en sus rasgos, sus sabores y sus colores. En esta obra colectiva, el diálogo interregional se dio con la bandeja de barro (objeto elegido para la intervención), donde a través del arte se evidenció la sensibilidad particular de cada participante y el talento para encontrar puntos en común a través del objeto intervenido, que logró trascender la forma y la función.
Análisis y comparación del sistema de enseñanza remoto vs el sistema tradicional. Caso de estudio: División de Ciencias Básicas e Ingeniería de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Azcapotzalco
Authors:   , Sánchez Andrade Oswaldo
Published: May 2023

El presente trabajo de investigación aborda una serie de datos alrededor de la educación en línea implementada mediante el Proyecto Emergente de Enseñanza Remota (PEER) en la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Azcapotzalco, donde a través de la recolección, análisis y procesamiento de datos tanto cuantitativos como cualitativos se infiere la percepción que tiene la plantilla estudiantil a nivel licenciatura de la División de Ciencias Básicas e Ingeniería (CBI) sobre el grado de dificultad de las materias cursadas en ambas modalidades: presencial y en línea. Partiendo de la aplicación de la encuesta “Estudio comparativo entre la enseñanza escolarizada y la enseñanza remota en la División de CBI de la UAM - Azcapotzalco” a estudiantes de la División de CBI de la UAM Azcapotzalco se recoge que materias como Análisis y Diseño de Algoritmos o Ecuaciones Diferenciales Ordinarias, por citar algunas, presentan mayor potencial para ser impartidas en línea al ser percibidas como difíciles en la modalidad presencial pero fáciles durante el PEER. Caso contrario se da con materias como Cálculo Diferencial e Integral o Microprocesadores. Por otra parte, se confirma que aquellas materias relacionadas con los laboratorios y talleres fueron de las más afectadas durante la pandemia al ser percibidas como difíciles en línea. El análisis del panorama completo, que incluye dos afluentes de datos: la encuesta a estudiantes y una serie de indicadores de rendimiento provistos por la Secretaría Académica de la División, posibilita concluir que materias como Introducción al Álgebra Lineal, Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería, Ecuaciones Diferenciales Ordinarias, Instrumentación Industrial, Sistemas Operativos y Teoría de Control, Introducción a la Física, entre otras, presentan rasgos aptos para su enseñanza en línea. Del mismo modo, existen materias que resultan más aptas para su impartición en un modelo presencial y que, con un análisis más profundo, pudieran modificarse y ser integradas a modalidades híbridas o virtuales. Estas conclusiones alrededor del fenómeno de la educación en línea en el marco del PEER en la División de CBI de la UAM Azcapotzalco posibilitan el modelado de los futuros posibles respecto a las modalidades educativas ofertadas en esta casa de estudios, ya sea de manera híbrida o totalmente en línea y no solo para futuras contingencias sino como parte de la evolución de la enseñanza y atención al contexto en que esta Institución de Educación Superior (IES) se enmarca.

Our previous experience of using plerixafor and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in addition to treosulfan-based conditioning in patients with Wiscott–Aldrich syndrome (WAS) demonstrated efficacy and a decreased risk of severe graft failure after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with TCRab + /CD19 + graft depletion. Because of the remaining risk of graft failure in WAS patients following HSCT with unmanipulated grafts reported in a number of large-scale retrospective studies, we used plerixafor and G-CSF in conditioning regimens in 6 WAS patients who received native bone marrow as a graft source. None of the patients developed severe organ toxicity in the early post-transplantation period. All of them had long-term full donor chimerism in whole blood and the CD3 + line and a good graft function. At the last follow-up, 5 patients are alive at 3.7 to 74.7 months after HSCT (median follow-up time: 24.0 months). One patient died of chronic lung graft-versus-host-disease at 18 months after the transplantation. Despite limited experience, we believe that additional hematopoietic stem cell mobilization with plerixafor and G-CSF in treosulfan-based conditioning regimens may be effective in WAS patients undergoing HSCT with an unmanipulated graft. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology.
