BACKGROUND

Of the 150,000 patients annually undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, 35% develop complications that increase mortality 5 fold and expenditure by 50%. Differences in patient risk and operative approach explain only 2% of hospital variations in some complications. The intraoperative phase remains understudied as a source of variation, despite its complexity and amenability to improvement.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this study are to (1) investigate the relationship between peer assessments of intraoperative technical skills and nontechnical practices with risk-adjusted complication rates and (2) evaluate the feasibility of using computer-based metrics to automate the assessment of important intraoperative technical skills and nontechnical practices.

METHODS

This multicenter study will use video recording, established peer assessment tools, electronic health record data, registry data, and a high-dimensional computer vision approach to (1) investigate the relationship between peer assessments of surgeon technical skills and variability in risk-adjusted patient adverse events; (2) investigate the relationship between peer assessments of intraoperative team-based nontechnical practices and variability in risk-adjusted patient adverse events; and (3) use quantitative and qualitative methods to explore the feasibility of using objective, data-driven, computer-based assessments to automate the measurement of important intraoperative determinants of risk-adjusted patient adverse events.

RESULTS

The project has been funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in 2019 (R01HL146619). Preliminary Institutional Review Board review has been completed at the University of Michigan by the Institutional Review Boards of the University of Michigan Medical School.

CONCLUSIONS

We anticipate that this project will substantially increase our ability to assess determinants of variation in complication rates by specifically studying a surgeon’s technical skills and operating room team member nontechnical practices. These findings may provide effective targets for future trials or quality improvement initiatives to enhance the quality and safety of cardiac surgical patient care.

Text Messaging and Web-Based Survey System to Recruit Patients With Low Back Pain and Collect Outcomes in the Emergency Department: Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Amorim Anita Barros , Coombs Danielle , Richards Bethan , Maher Chris G , Machado Gustavo C
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Low back pain (LBP) is a frequent reason for emergency department (ED) presentations, with a global prevalence of 4.4%. Despite being common, the number of clinical trials investigating LBP in the ED is low. Recruitment of patients in EDs can be challenging because of the fast-paced and demanding ED environment.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to describe the recruitment and response rates using an SMS text messaging and web-based survey system supplemented by telephone calls to recruit patients with LBP and collect health outcomes in the ED.

METHODS

An automated SMS text messaging system was integrated into Research Electronic Data Capture and used to collect patient-reported outcomes for an implementation trial in Sydney, Australia. We invited patients with nonserious LBP who presented to participating EDs at 1, 2, and 4 weeks after ED discharge. Patients who did not respond to the initial SMS text message invitation were sent a reminder SMS text message or contacted via telephone. The recruitment rate was measured as the proportion of patients who agreed to participate, and the response rate was measured as the proportion of participants completing the follow-up surveys at weeks 2 and 4. Regression analyses were used to explore factors associated with response rates.

RESULTS

In total, 807 patients with nonserious LBP were invited to participate and 425 (53.0%) agreed to participate. The week 1 survey was completed by 51.5% (416/807) of participants. At week 2, the response rate was 86.5% (360/416), and at week 4, it was 84.4% (351/416). Overall, 60% of the surveys were completed via SMS text messaging and on the web and 40% were completed via telephone. Younger participants and those from less socioeconomically disadvantaged areas were more likely to respond to the survey via the SMS text messaging and web-based system.

CONCLUSIONS

Using an SMS text messaging and web-based survey system supplemented by telephone calls is a viable method for recruiting patients with LBP and collecting health outcomes in the ED. This hybrid system could potentially reduce the costs of using traditional recruitment and data collection methods (eg, face-to-face, telephone calls only).

Qualitative Analysis of Underlying Factors Affecting Vaccine Hesitancy in Iran- A Study Protocol (Preprint)
Authors: Goharinezhad Salime
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

World Health Organization declared the vaccine hesitancy as a global public health threat in 2019. Since even a slight reduction in vaccine coverage rates can lead to a decrease in herd immunity, it is imperative to explore the underlying factors affecting vaccine hesitancy. in specific contexts, considering socioeconomic and cultural variation, to ensure interventions targeting hesitancy are well formulated and intervened.

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this study is to identify underlying factors affecting vaccine hesitancy in Iran.

METHODS

A framework qualitative study will be conducted in the west of Tehran province in 2020. Participants in the study will be recruited hesitance-parents who extracted from the SIB system (an electronic health record in Iran) to maximize diversity. Interviews will be analyzed based on ''Determinants of Vaccine Hesitancy Matrix'' which developed by the WHO-SAGE Working Group.

RESULTS

deep understanding from the context-specific reasons for vaccine hesitancy cause to formulate better strategies to address them. The ultimate goal of this study is to inform future policies to increase the uptake of the vaccine in Iran.

CONCLUSIONS

This result of study will show variety opinions about vaccination among different types of socioeconomic and demographic households. The wide range of reasons related to vaccine hesitancy imply to more comprehensive, context-specific interventions. Today, the most important intervention issues focus on improving information about effectiveness and safety of vaccines, while other interventions for promoting vaccination is need to addressed.

Authors: O'Keefe James , O’Keefe Ghazala A Datoo , Mufarreh Anthony
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Symptom descriptions in outpatients with COVID-19 are limited to cross-sectional surveys and longitudinal follow-up of long term symptoms has not been reported. Symptom duration is important for patient and provider knowledge in managing outpatient COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE

Describe the presence of symptoms at long term follow-up of patients managed in an outpatient telemedicine program for acute COVID-19.

METHODS

Chart review of clinical notes for acute COVID-19 and long term follow-up calls. Descriptive analysis were conducted using Wilcoxon rank-sum for continuous variables and chi-square or Fisher’s Exact as appropriate for categorical variables.

RESULTS

Minor symptoms were reported by 55 patients (34.8%) and 7 (4.4%) reported major ongoing symptoms at follow-up call. Factors associated with prolonged symptoms include older age, provider reported higher symptom severity at intake visit, and BMI >30. Symptoms which persisted include shortness of breath on exertion, wheeze, nausea, and joint pain.

CONCLUSIONS

Persistence of symptoms after acute COVID-19 in outpatients is common. Risk factors may help predict which patients are more likely to have prolonged symptoms.

Published: July 2020

Background and objectives

Daprodustat is an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor that stimulates erythropoiesis and regulates genes related to iron metabolism. The efficacy (noninferiority) and safety of daprodustat compared with standard therapy (darbepoetin alfa) was evaluated.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

This was a randomized, phase 3, double-blind, active-control study in Japanese patients receiving hemodialysis with anemia of CKD. Participants’ treatment was switched from current erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) to daprodustat 4 mg once daily or darbepoetin alfa 10–60 μg once weekly (on the basis of the prestudy ESA dose). Dose was adjusted every 4 weeks for daprodustat or every 2 weeks for darbepoetin alfa, according to a protocol-specified algorithm. The primary end point was mean hemoglobin during weeks 40–52 in the intent-to-treat population.

Results

Of 332 participants screened, 271 participants were randomized (safety evaluation: 271 participants; efficacy evaluation: 267 intent-to-treat population). The mean hemoglobin during weeks 40–52 were maintained within the target range in both groups (10.9 g/dl [95% confidence interval (95% CI), 10.8 to 11.0] for daprodustat, and 10.8 g/dl [95% CI, 10.7 to 11.0] for darbepoetin alfa). Daprodustat was noninferior to darbepoetin alfa, as the lower bound of the confidence interval for the treatment difference (0.1 g/dl; 95% CI, −0.1 to 0.2 g/dl) was greater than the noninferiority criterion of −1.0 g/dl. For most participants, hemoglobin was maintained within the target range (10.0–12.0 g/dl) during weeks 40–52 (88% daprodustat; 90% darbepoetin alfa). Geometric mean hepcidin levels decreased more at week 52 with daprodustat (−37%; 95% CI, −49 to −23) than with darbepoetin alfa (−20%; 95% CI, −36 to −1), and an increase in total iron-binding capacity was observed in the daprodustat group. Frequency of adverse events were generally similar between daprodustat and darbepoetin alfa.

Conclusions

Oral daprodustat was noninferior to darbepoetin alfa as measured by mean hemoglobin over weeks 40–52 in Japanese patients receiving hemodialysis switched from ESAs.

Kajian Karakteristik Fisik dan Mekanik Edible Film Berbasis Pati Umbi Suweg (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius) dengan Variasi Konsentrasi Lilin Lebah
Authors: Safitri Evi Lusiana Dwi , Warkoyo Warkoyo , Anggriani Rista
Published: July 2020

Suweg tuber contains very high starch so that it can be used as one of the ingredients for the edible film. The use of a single ingredient from the starch group has a disadvantage because it has a weak and rigid, so it needs to be added ingredients to improve the nature of the edible film, namely by adding beeswax. The addition of beeswax is expected to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the edible film because its hydrophobic nature is a barrier to the loss of steam from products packed by the edible film. This research used a factorial randomized block design using two factors: suweg tuber starch concentration (3%.4%, and 5%) and beeswax concentration (1%.2%, and 3%). Parameters of research included analysis of raw materials in the form of water content, starch content and amylose starch content of suweg tubers whileanalysis edible film included the thickness, transparency, tensile strength, elongation, solubility, water vapor transmission rate and surface structure. The results showed that there was a very real interaction between the addition of suweg tuber and beeswax starch to thickness, elongation, tensile strength, and water vapor transmission rate and there was a real interaction with the transparency and solubility of edible film. The best treatment with near-standard results is edible film with suweg tuber starch concentration 3% (b/ v) and beeswax concentration 1% (b/ v) The surface structure of edible film on starch addition 3% (b/ v) results in a structure that more flat and soft, while the addition of beeswax 1% (b/ v) results in smaller pores.

Effects of Forest Harvesting on Warm-Season Low Flows in the Pacific Northwest: A Review
Authors: Moore R.D. (Dan) , Gronsdahl Stefan , McCleary Richard
Published: July 2020

Paired-catchment studies conducted on small (< 10 km2) rain-dominated catchments revealed that forest harvesting resulted in a period of increased warm-season low flows ranging from less than five years to more than two decades, consistent with the results of stand-level studies and process considerations. Of the five paired-catchment studies in snow-dominated regions, none revealed a statistically significant change in warm-season low flows in the first decade following harvest, although two exhibited non-significant higher flows in August and September and one had lower flows. Two studies, one of rain-dominated catchments and one of snow-dominated catchments, found that summer low flows became more severe (i.e., lower) about two decades or so following harvest. These longer-term results indicate that indices such as equivalent clearcut area, as currently calculated using monotonic recovery curves, may not accurately reflect the nature of post-harvest changes in low flows. Studies focussed on medium to large catchments (tens to thousands of km2 in area) found either no statistically significant relations between warm-season low flows and forest disturbance, or inconsistent responses. Attempts to synthesize existing studies are hampered by the lack of a common low-flow metric among studies, as well as detailed information on post-harvest vegetation changes. Further fieldresearch and process-based modelling is required to help elucidate the underlying processes leading to the results from these paired-catchment studies and to enhance the ability to predict streamflow responses to forest harvesting, especially in the context of a changing climate.

Published: July 2020

Problem and goal. Despite a significant amount of work on the creation of electronic textbooks, interest in them does not wane. Currently, when developing them, it becomes necessary to take into account the features of the Z generation. The purpose of the study is a didactic analysis and description of the concept of transformer books and an inverted textbook. Methodology. The idea of creating such intellectual teaching aids is associated with the use of mental schemes of the subject area, hidden psychoanalysis of the perception type of the learner and the question-task form of training. The textbooks being designed provide for a change in the learning strategy (from the paradigm accumulating knowledge to solve problems to the paradigm solving problems by mastering the necessary knowledge). In this case, the educational model of the white box is used, which allows visualizing the dynamics of the acquisition by student the knowledge of the subject area. Results. A procedure for developing inverted textbooks and transformer books is proposed. Prototypes of such electronic tools when used in a real educational process have shown their high effectiveness in self-educational activities of students. Conclusion. The use of transformational and inverted electronic textbooks allows not only to automate the learning process without real contact with the teacher, but also contributes to a significant increase in the motivation of modern students to self-study. The materials of the article are of practical value for developers of e-learning tools, as well as teachers who prefer to use innovative teaching methods.
Spinor field in a spherically symmetric Friedmann Universe
Authors: Bijan Saha , Zakharov Evgeniy I. , Rikhvitsky Victor S.
Published: July 2020

In recent years spinor field is being used by many authors to address some burning issues of modern cosmology. The motive behind using the spinor field as a source for gravitational field lies on the fact that the spinor field not only can describe the different era of the evolution but also can simulate different substances such as perfect fluid and dark energy. Moreover, the spinor field is very sensitive to the gravitational one and depending on the gravitational field the spinor field can react differently and change the spacetime geometry and the spinor field itself differently. This paper provides a brief description of the nonlinear spinor field in the FriedmannLemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model. The results are compared in Cartesian and spherical coordinates. It is shown that during the transition from Cartesian coordinates to spherical ones, the energy-momentum tensor acquires additional nonzero non-diagonal components that can impose restrictions on either spinor functions or metric ones.

Employee Engagement in Multinational Diverse Organization in Difficult Terrain: A Study of Non-Family Station Organization
Authors: Blazi Clarisse , Awolusi Olawumi D.
Published: July 2020

Engagements and commitments of many expatriates are often determined by several socio-economic, demographic, cultural, environmental and organizational factors. These issues faced by employees in duty stations like United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) often have telling effects on their work. Consequently, the broad objective of this study was to assess the influence of the working environment on foreign job commitment in UNAMID. The study applied "a mixed-method research approach", utilizing both "qualitative and quantitative research" strategies, with a sample size of 100 respondents from the United Nations Peace Keeping Mission in Darfur, Northern Sudan. Specifically, questionnaires and in-depth Interview were the main instruments. Findings from the quantitative studies showed no significant relationship between employee disengagement, work terrain, job stress, communication, socio-cultural factors and expatriate’s job commitment in UNAMID. While for the qualitative analysis, it was reported that there are both negative and positive effects of working in another country. The study, therefore, concludes that employee disengagement, job stress, working terrain, communication and socio-cultural factors are not associated, with expatriate's job commitment in UNAMID. It is therefore recommended that organizations should develop organizational peculiar plans and programs that would help cushion the physical and psychological effect of new working terrain on expatriates for them to be able to be effective, productive and be able to eventually achieve the ultimate goal of their deployment to the new work station.

GAGASAN GERAKAN PSIKOLOGI ISLAM : SUATU PENDEKATAN PSIKOMETRIK
Authors: Ismail Khaidzir Hj
Published: July 2020

Secara teori mahupun falsafah, psikologi Islam telahpun berkembang seiring adanya tuntutan Islamisasi ilmu. Namun untuk memperjuangkan psikologi Islam sebagai salah satu disiplin ilmu yang diakui, masih jauh dari kenyataan. Tentangan dan harapan ini memerlukan suatu paradigma dan epistemologi khas yang mengarah kepada konseptualisasi dan pengukuran (psikometrik). Dalam konteks sejarah, psikologi baru diakui sebagi suatu ilmu berasaskan verifikasi pengukuran kuantitatif, sebagaimana yang dipelopori oleh William Wundt dengan strukturalismenya. Oleh itu kajian ini cuba menawarkan konsep Epistemologi pengukuran dalam psikologi Islam  dengan cara transformasik ideologi, budaya dan sosial yang berasaskan dari Al-qur’an dan Hadits untuk membentuk konstruk-konstruk dan indikator-indikator sesebuah pengukuran yang dikombinasikan menurut kaedah psikometrik yang sedia ada. Konsep mental-kognitif sebagai bentuk cara berfikir  berteraskan Islam telahpun dibina dengan pendekatan tawaran epistemologi dimana Pengukuran ini telah ditadbir kepada Remaja Bermasalah Di Pusat Pemulihan seramai 490 orang. Hasil kajian menunjukkan tahap mental-kognitif remaja tersebut adalah pada tahap yang rendah. Menurut perbezaan jantina dengan menggunakan ujian t mendapati perempuan (min=248.81) lebih tinggi tahapnya berbanding lelaki (244.671) di mana t=-2.071 dengan p<0.05.  Manakala dari segi reliabiliti dan validiti memperlihatkan indeks yang cukup baik. Diharapkan hasil kajian ini dapat memberi implikasi kepada berkembangnya pembinaan alat pengukuran dan modul-modul intervensi psikologi  yang berteraskan Islam.

Permasalahan bullying kembali muncul di permukaan setelah beberapa kasus dan kejadian di beberapa daerah di Indonesia, seperti di Sulawesi Selatan dan juga di Pontianak. Pemerhati anak, organisasi dan juga Presiden RI (Bapak Jokowi) meminta untuk mengusut tuntas dan menyelesaikan kasus tersebut.Beberapa hasil research mengatakan bahwa korban bullying memiliki dampak negatif dan tidak sedikit jika bullying dilakukan dengan cara yang keras akan mengakibatkan depresi dan bahkan korban mengalami trauma jangka panjang. Yang lebih buruk korban akan melakukan tindakan bunuh diri karena tidak kuat menanggung tindakan bullying.Metode pelaksanaan pengabdian ini adalah dengan cara sosialisasi door to door kepada sekolah-sekolah SMK di Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan untuk memberikan penyuluhan dan sosialisasi bahaya bullying, dan juga tindakan bullying yang tidak disadari. Selain itu cara mengatasi bullying bagi korban dengan solusi yang ditawarkan oleh tim pengabdi.Hasil pengabdian ini menjelaskan bahwa siswa baru mengetahui bahwa bullying memiliki banyak bentuk, dan yang mereka tau hanya bullying secara verbal, mereka tidak sadar bahwa kekerasan juga termasuk dalam kategori bullying. Diperoleh bahwa siswa lebih tau macam-macam bullying dan juga cara mengatasinya jika menjadi korban.

Voice of Subaltern Souvali in Mahasweta Devi’s After Kurushetra
Authors: Ramamoorthy Dr. A.R. Uma
Published: July 2020

In the contemporary scenario, Subaltern Studies group brings together the writers, like Amitav Ghosh and Mahasweta Devi who have been frequently associated with subaltern concerns. Mahasweta Devi is a champion of subaltern community and through her works she always indicts and questions the government and other people about the sanctioning of human rights to dalits, tribals, women and children. Mahasweta Devi’s After Kurushetra narrates the stories of women who were subalternized by the kings and queens of Hastinapur. The life stories of these women appeared in the forms of short stories namely “The Five Women (Panchakanya)”, “Kunti and the Nishadin (Kunti O Nishadi), and “Souvali” in After Kurushetra. “Souvali” narrates the story of Souvali who was a dasi working in the royal palace of Hastinapur: She was sexually exploited by Dhritarashtra and gave birth to a son named Yuyutsu. Though Yuyutsu @ Souvalya was not considered by Dhritarashtra as his first son, yet he was allowed by Yudhishtira to give ‘tarpan’ to Dhritarashtra during the time of ‘mahatarpan.’ Souvalya, as a son, had done his duty to Dhritarashtra but Souvali voiced against the oppressions meted on her by the king through her action. She did not adhere to the norms of widowhood after the death of Dhritarashtara for she was never considered by him as his wife.

Sentiment analysis as part of text mining research domain has been being recognized due to the successful implementation in social media analysis. Sentiment analysis methods had intelligent ability to classify texts into negative or positive. Classified texts concluded whole users respond and described opinion polarity about particular topic. Based on this idea, this research took e-learning’s users opinion as object to be measured through sentiment analysis. The results can be used to evaluate the e-learning activity. This research had been implemented in Widyatama University which had been running e-learning activity for several years. Qualitative method by given questioner to users and gather the feedback is commonly used as evaluation of e-learning system previously. Still, questioner doesn’t represent the conclusion about the whole opinion. Hence, it needs the method to identify opinion polarity from e-learning member. The e-learning opinion data sets were gathered from questioner filled by e-learning member included both student and lecturer as participants. The participants gave review about learning outcome after their participation in e-learning activity. Their opinion was needed to describe current situation about e-learning activity. Therefore, the conclusion could be used to make improvement and described few achievements about the e-learning system. The data sets trained by Naïve Bayes classifier to group each user respond into negative or positive. The classification results were also evaluated by a number of particular evaluation metric used in data mining to show the classifier performance such as accuracy, precision, and recall.

Authors: Nabih Ali Mazin
Published: July 2020

In the present work the effect of Ingate Area on the Mechanical properties (σmax, σyield, E and hardness, stiffness) of as cast Al-4%Cu alloy had been studied, molds were made by sand casting with different ingate area (1cm×1cm, 1.2cm×1.2cm, 1.4cm×1.4cm, 1.6cm×1.6cm, 1.8cm×1.8cm, 2cm×2cm,  2.2cm×2.2cm, 2.4cm×2.4cm and  2.6cm×2.6cm). The process was done in  normal condition (T=25Cᵒ, dry sand, constant  speed, constant pour distance), while the casts  prepared for the testing as a work piece to get  the results. Also, Artificial Neural Network  (ANN) had been adopted to predict the values  of outputs (mechanical properties) and getting  the mathematical equations that describe the relations between input and outputs  parameters. From the results of the proposed  work it conclude that mechanical properties  magnitudes had been increased due to increasing in ingate area cast, and the relations  between the ingate area and mechanical properties) had been detected depending on the  results that gotten from ANN.
Modified New Iterative Method for Solving Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
Authors: Alaa K. Jabber
Published: July 2020

In this paper, the iterative method, proposed by Gejji and Jafari in 2006, has been modified for solving nonlinear initial value problems. The Laplace transform was used in this modification to eliminate the linear differential operator in the differential equation. The convergence of the solution was discussed according to the modification proposed. To illustrate this modification some examples were presented.
The Honest Weasel A Guide for Successful Weaseling
Authors: Dieveney Patrick
Published: July 2020

Indispensability arguments are among the strongest arguments in support of mathematical realism. Given the controversial nature of their conclusions, it is not surprising that critics have supplied a number of rejoinders to these arguments. In this paper, I focus on one such rejoinder, Melia’s ‘Weasel Response’. The weasel is someone who accepts that scientific theories imply that there are mathematical objects, but then proceeds to ‘take back’ this commitment. While weaseling seems improper, accounts supplied in the literature have failed to explain why. Drawing on examples of weaseling in more mundane contexts, I develop an account of the presumption against weaseling as grounded in a misalignment between two types of commitments. This is good news to the weasel’s opponents. It reinforces that they were right to question the legitimacy of weaseling. This account is also beneficial to the weasel. Uncovering the source of the presumption against weaseling also serves to draw out the challenge that the weasel must meet to override this presumption—what is required to be an ‘honest weasel’.
Optimisation of the relationship between structural parameters of the processing industry as a way to increase its efficiency

Published: July 2020

Industry, which on average accounts for about 60% of commodity exports in the EU-28, with over 58% resulting from the processing industry, plays a key role in ensuring the competitiveness of EU countries. The article aims to simulate the influence of structural processing industry parameters on the industry's efficiency. Correlation methods and the regression analysis were used to substantiate the hypotheses regarding the effect that the share comprised of high-tech and medium-high-tech industries has on the output structure, and the impact made by the share of imports in the intermediate consumption of those industries on the efficiency (the share of gross value added (GVA) in output) of the processing industry. Based on the criteria indicating the increased technological level and reduced import dependence, economic and mathematical models of optimisation were created for the output structure and intermediate consumption of the processing industry, which were then solved using the linear programming method. The authors present the mathematical proof of the relationship between the change in structural parameters (shares of high-tech and medium-tech industries and the share of imports in the structure of their intermediate consumption) of the processing industry and the ratio of the gross value added/output. The results of the simulation, which were based on data from the European Statistical Office and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, provide an analytical basis for selecting industrial policy benchmarks.
