Burnout is prevalent among mental health providers and is significantly associated with the employee, consumer, and organizational costs. Nowadays, burnout prevalence is increasing and can challenge the residents’ professional development, place patients at risk, and have a significant influence on a variety of personal costs.

Considering its importance, this research attempted to measure the burnout experienced by Romanian psychiatric residents while also correlating demographic characteristics and work situations.

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 116 Romanian psychiatric residents. Our questionnaire contained socio-demographic information and burnout assessment, which was performed using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI).

The burnout scores were classified as high burnout (22.4% of the respondents), moderate burnout (51,7% of the respondents), and low burnout (25.9% of the respondents). As such, all psychiatric residents who suffered from high levels of burnout were satisfied with their salary and their work but dissatisfied with the resources available for attending patients.

From all physicians who might experience burnout, psychiatrists are most likely to search for help. The fact that the majority of psychiatric residents in our study were satisfied with their salary and their work, but dissatisfied with the available resources for attending patients might be a result of the Romanian policy of increasing incomes for medical personnel.

In conclusion, adding stress management training to the medical education curriculum could help the residents to deal more effectively with the training strain, develop personal techniques for helping themselves to improve their professional path, and potentially prevent upcoming physician burnout.
Questions on the Ordination of “Homosexual” Members in the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa
Authors: Senokoane Boitumelo Ben
Published: November 2022

This article aims to engage the topic of homosexuality, with special reference to the ordination of homosexual people. This was informed by the ongoing conversation that has been happening within the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA) since their 2005 Pietermaritzburg General Synod. The church has put a moratorium on the licensing of ministry students, ordination of proponents and marriage officiation of its homosexual members until such a time that the synod makes its decision. A task team was appointed to do research and consult with congregations of the church. The aim of the article is not to provide answers but rather to ask radical theological, medical and biological questions that would assist the church in making informed decisions based on current experiences and realities. The Reformed and Creation theologies shall be used as a tool to engage and clarify questions. Questions are viewed as important to move towards finding answers and solutions to the issue of the ordination of “homosexual” ministers from the LGBTQIA+ community.
O uso correto de antiagregantes plaquetários após intervenção coronária percutânea: uma revisão comparativa.
Authors: Montalvão Antoane Marinho , Oliveira Carla Resende Vaz , Reis Bruno Cezario Costa
Published: November 2022

Objetivo: Debater sobre o uso mais efetivo da antiagregação plaquetária após intervenção coronária percutânea. Métodos: A abordagem metodológica deste trabalho se propõe a um compilado de pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa e caráter descritivo por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Os descritores utilizados foram Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors, Clopidogrel, Ticagrelor e Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Os critérios de inclusão foram ensaio clínico, ensaio clínico controlado e teste controlado aleatório, publicados em inglês, português e espanhol, no intervalo de 2017 a agosto de 2022. Os fármacos abordados foram clopidogrel, ticagrelor, aspirina e prasugrel. Resultados: Houve um total de nove artigos concluindo uma maior efetividade do clopidogrel em relação ao ticagrelor, sendo que em apenas um o ticagrelor se mostrou superior. Além disso, também foi visto a eficácia do prasugrel em casos de eventos coronarianos adversos maiores em comparação ao clopidogrel. Considerações finais: Assim, pode-se enfatizar que o ticagrelor não é o fármaco mais eficaz para ser usado como antiagregante plaquetário padrão na ICP, como prega a diretriz, devendo dar lugar ao clopidogrel, salvo em casos especiais específicos, podendo variar também para o uso de prasugrel.
A Prospective, Multi-Center Clinical Utility Study Demonstrates That the 40-Gene Expression Profile (40-GEP) Test Impacts Clinical Management for Medicare-Eligible Patients with High-Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC)
Authors: Saleeby Eli , Bielinski Kenneth , Fitzgerald Alison , Siegel Jennifer , Ibrahim Sherrif
Published: November 2022

The incidence and mortality rates of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) in the Medicare population are rapidly increasing. The current national guidelines are broad and the available staging systems for stratification are inadequate to accurately guide patient management.  A prognostic 40-gene expression profile (40-GEP) test has demonstrated both analytical and clinical validity for assessment of metastatic risk of high-risk cSCC patients independent of traditional clinicopathologic factors. Real-world data have shown that clinicians can identify appropriate patients for 40-GEP testing and use this personalized, molecular risk stratification tool to guide risk-aligned clinical planning and patient management. The data herein focuses on 59 Medicare-eligible patients (≥65 years of age) enrolled within a multicenter, prospective Clinical Utility and Health Outcomes Study (UTILISE) conducted to demonstrate patterns of 40-GEP test utilization, distribution of results across clinicopathologic variables, and impact on clinician recommendations for clinical management of high-risk cSCC patients.  Of patients under study, more than 80% of clinicians reported that the 40-GEP had a positive impact toward managing their high-risk SCC patient, 42% stated, a 40-GEP test result was the single most influential factor in determining management plans and 24% made changes to their treatment plan in after receiving the 40-GEP result­‑ a clinical actionability rate comparable to those of currently covered molecular tests for cancer patients. This analysis demonstrates the positive impact the 40-GEP is having on clinicians’ assessment of risk for their high-risk cSCC patients, which, in line with guidelines, is driving risk-aligned changes in treatment plans.

Instructional Design in the Face of COVID-19: Learned Lessons and Pending Tasks
Authors: Vieyra Gerardo Quiroz , González Luis Fernando Muñoz
Published: November 2022

Faced with confinement due to COVID-19, educational institutions with face-to-face models had to continue their activities under conditions and with resources not used up to that moment. For this, the institutions formulated and put into operation continuity plans, which involved everything from remote education to hybrids between the latter and online education. Institutions that already had online or hybrid education programs were able to apply that experience to their face-to-face programs, allowing them to respond more quickly than those that did not. The stages of the teaching-learning process that were "adjusted" during this emergency in order to give continuity to educational activities were the last two, namely: the development of instructional material and teaching. In this work, an intervention is proposed in a previous stage of the process, that is, in the instructional design (ID), using the ASSURE model derived from the ADDIE model or approach. This intervention is based on the lessons learned during the pandemic, for the preparation or reformulation of study plans that consider information and communication technologies as a platform to enhance the effectiveness of learning, selecting them and establishing their use strategy from the stage in which the materials are designed, which may be useful considering that even if the students return to the classrooms, a virtual part will be preserved, that is, a hybrid model, in which the face-to-face-virtual ratio will be determined by the educational strategy of the institution.
Periodic Law of Chemistry Overturns for Superheavy Elements
Authors: Cao Chang-Su , Hu Han-Shi , Schwarz W. H. Eugen , Li Jun
Published: November 2022

The Periodic Law is one of the greatest discoveries in human history. Chemical elements in the same group of the Periodic Table possess similar valence states and other physico-chemical properties. With the increase of atomic number Z, the relativistic effects become so strong that the super-heavy elements tend to exhibit properties notably different from their lighter congeners. Here we report that the traditionally mono- or di-valent heavy s-block elements (87Fr, 88Ra, 119E, 120E) exhibit unusual penta- or hexa-valency at ambient conditions. Due to common quantum-mechanical and relativity effects, some atomic-core electrons of the heaviest s-block elements become sufficiently activated for chemical bonding, so that they no longer behave as strictly low-valent alkali and alkaline-earth elements. The classic Periodic Law discovered by Mendeleev and others since the 1860s has thus broken down for such super-heavy elements and beyond.

Objective.

To investigate the prevalence and risk factors for persistent symptoms up to 12 months after hospital discharge in COVID-19 survivors.

Methods.

This prospective cohort study included patients with COVID-19 discharged from a university hospital in Brazil. Follow-up was performed 2, 6, and 12 months after discharge. Lung function tests and chest computed tomography (CT) were performed 2 months after discharge and were repeated if abnormal. The primary outcomes were the symptoms present, work status, and limitations in daily activities.

Results.

Eighty-eight patients were included. Dyspnea (54.5%), fatigue (50.0%), myalgia, and muscle weakness (46.6%) were the most common symptoms, which decreased over time. Anxiety was frequent (46.6%) and remained unchanged. One year after discharge, 43.2% of the patients reported limitations in daily activities, and 17.6% had not returned to work. Corticosteroid use was significantly associated with dyspnea and limitations in daily activities. Females had an increased risk of fatigue at the 12-month assessment, with marginal significance after multivariable adjustment. Young age and bronchial wall thickening on admission CT were also risk factors for dyspnea at follow-up. The most common lung function abnormalities were reduced diffusion capacity and small airway disease, which partially improved over time.

Conclusions.

One year after hospital discharge, more than one-third of patients still had persistent COVID-19-related symptoms, remarkable dyspnea, fatigue, and limitations in daily activities, regardless of acute disease severity. Age, female sex, corticosteroid use during hospitalization, and bronchial thickening on admission CT were associated with an increased risk of sequelae.

Authors: Allemandi Lorena Andrea , Flexner Nadia , Nederveen Leo , Gomes Fabio da Silva
Published: November 2022

Objective.

To present some resources developed as part of the technical support of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to Member States to reduce population dietary sodium intake, and to discuss the main challenges and opportunities to accelerate action toward sodium intake reduction in the Americas.

Methods.

Sources of information include a mapping of salt reduction policies conducted in 2019, reports from working group meetings, interviews conducted in 2020 and 2021 in seven countries, and technical documents developed around the Updated PAHO Regional Sodium Reduction Targets.

Results.

These tools show that, despite progress, challenges to succeed in this agenda persist. Priority given to sodium reduction is low in most countries, with insufficient resource allocation. There is a lack of intersectoral coordinated action, and a systemic approach to food systems is commonly missing. Surveillance mechanisms of sodium intake are insufficient, and industry interference in policy processes is commonly identified, undermining policy progress and success. There are also important regional opportunities to address these challenges. These include common ground for future collaborations by updating, strengthening, and complementing these existing tools, and technical and financial support for data generation.

Conclusions.

PAHO is committed to continue to support countries in the process of promoting, implementing, and monitoring cost-effective sodium reduction interventions. One key policy priority in this agenda is the adoption of the Updated PAHO Regional Sodium Reduction Targets with a mandatory approach, together with the comprehensive and complementary implementation of other strategies. Strong political will and commitment of countries will be critical to translate goals into concrete achievements in the Americas.
Analysis of recent changes in chronic disease-free life expectancy in Algeria
Authors: Flici Farid , Chinoune Meryem
Published: November 2022

Background: No official estimates have been published regarding healthy life expectancy in Algeria, and chronic diseasefree life expectancy in particular, despite their importance for assessing public health policy effectiveness and predicting social security expenditure. Aims: To estimate chronic disease-free life expectancy in Algeria and analyse its changes in recent years, and to determine how morbidity has changed according to age, time, and gender, compared with mortality, following expansion of morbidity, compression of morbidity, or morbidity–mortality balance. Methods: We used Sullivan’s method to estimate chronic disease-free life expectancy in Algeria using data provided from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys and national life tables published by the Office for National Statistics for 2006, 2012–2013, and 2018–2019. The changes in healthy/unhealthy years compared with life expectancy were analysed. Results: Although Algerian women live an average 1–2 years longer than men, their chronic disease-free life expectancy is 5 years shorter. The gain in life expectancy between 2006 and 2018–2019 was accompanied by a decline in chronic diseasefree life expectancy from 62.36 and 57.27 years to 61.13 and 55.64 years for men and women, respectively. Conclusion: Algerians in 2018–2019 lived longer but not healthier than in 2006, and the number of unhealthy life years increased compared with life expectancy. Thus, public health programmes need to be more efficient to increase healthy years faster, or at least at the same pace as life expectancy.

Authors: Ferrari Alessio , Rosone Marco , Rosa Silvia , Sapienza Giovanni
Published: November 2022

Transversal applications of 3D-printing (or Additive Manufacturing) have been recently implemented in the field of Geomechanics. In a 3D-printing process, the printed volume is obtained from successive layering of adjacent soil filaments. In this work, the fabric of an as-printed soil has been carried out by combining Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP) tests and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) observations, with the aim to highlight how the particle arrangements and the orientation and shape of pores are linked to the printing operation. The microstructural analyses showed that macropores are the result of the relative position of the filaments and their initial distortion in quasi-undrained conditions. Particle arrangement within the soil filament is strongly anisotropic, due to the rotative movement of the soil in the extruder.

Edible Coating from Banana Peel Waste to Extend Tomato Shelf Life
Authors: Sigiro Oktavia N , Elysapitri Elysapitri , Habibah Nur
Published: November 2022

Kepok banana has been widely used as processed food by the community. The utilization of climacteric fruit is still limited to the use of fruit flesh. The banana peel, which still contains beneficial components like pectin, will therefore be wasted.  In this study, pectin from banana peels is processed into an edible coating which will be used as a coating that will be applied to tomatoes. This objective of the study was to determine the best pectin extraction temperature which ranged from 70°, 80°, to 90℃ and the effect of edible coating of pectin extracted from kepok banana peel on the shelf life of tomatoes. Observation of the shelf life of tomatoes was carried out by observing weight loss and vitamin C content in tomatoes. The pectin extraction process and physiological characteristics of tomatoes were studied quantitatively for this study, and the physical characteristics of tomatoes were studied qualitatively throughout the course of 21 days. Based on the results of research on pectin extraction, a temperature of 90°C was discovered to be the best temperature for pectin extraction compared to temperatures of 70° and 80°. At 90℃, the amount of pectin produced was about 2.98%. Based on observations of fruit weight loss and vitamin C content in tomatoes, research on the shelf life of tomatoes revealed that edible coatings had no significant effect on fruit weight loss or vitamin C content. The results of observations of tomatoes at a temperature of 27℃ showed that vitamin C content of tomatoes coated with edible coating decreased by 6.1%, while at a temperature of 10℃, vitamin C content of tomatoes with edible coatings increased by 1.8%.

Published: November 2022

The implementation of Distance Learning (PJJ), carried out at the German Language Education Study Program at Pattimura University, is inseparable from various obstacles that hinder the lecture process, one of which is the learning outcomes obtained by students. This study is quasi-experimental quantitative research, namely One-Group Pretest-Posttest, to test the effect of the application of the Self Organized Learning Environment (SOLE) learning model on student learning outcomes in the German Language Teaching Planning Course. The sample consisted of 30 5th-semester students of the German Language Education Study Program. The instrument used in this study was tests. The results of the data analysis showed that the students’ posttest was higher than the pretest, with an average score (mean) of the pretest = 74.93 and an average score (mean) of the posttest = 89.86. This result means that there is an influence in the application of the SOLE model on the students’ learning outcomes.
Aloitteellinen, reagoija ja rajoittaja – Vanhempien positiot kertomuksissa alkoholiaiheisista keskusteluista nuoren kanssa
Authors: Helenius Jenni
Published: November 2022

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan sitä, miten vanhemmat positioivat itseään kertoessaan nuorten kanssa käymistään alkoholiaiheisista keskusteluista ja miten vanhemmat rakentavat hyvää vanhemmuutta antamiensa positioiden sisällä. Aineistona oli 78 vanhemman kertomukset tilanteista, joissa he ovat keskustelleet alkoholista nuoren kanssa (28 haastattelua ja 50 kirjallista kertomusta). Aineistolle tehtiin laadullinen sisällönanalyysi, jossa tarkasteltiin, kenen aloitteesta keskustelut olivat käynnistyneet. Analyysin toisessa osassa eroteltiin keskustelujen päämääriä vanhemman näkökulmasta tarkastellen vanhempaa tekstin subjektina ja muodostaen vanhemmille sen mukaisia positioita. Kolmannessa osassa eriteltiin vanhempien rakentamaa hyvää vanhemmuutta positioiden sisällä. Tulokset osoittavat, että vanhemmat keskustelevat nuorten kanssa alkoholista sekä ennaltaehkäisevässä tarkoituksessa että silloin, kun asia tulee perheessä ajankohtaiseksi. Osa vanhemmista ei halua avata keskusteluja ennen kuin lapsi itse ottaa alkoholin puheeksi, koska he pelkäävät herättävänsä lapsen kiinnostuksen ennen kuin se muuten heräisi. Kertoessaan keskustelutilanteesta vanhemmat antavat itselleen aloitteellisia, reagoivia ja rajoittavia positioita. Vanhemmat rakentavat hyvää vanhemmuutta muun muassa vastuullisuuden, vuorovaikutteisuuden, yhteisymmärryksen, rentouden, kohtuullisuuden, vanhempien esimerkin, luottamuksen, kontrollin, neuvottelujen ja oman käyttäytymisensä reflektoinnin teemoilla. Johtopäätöksenä todettiin, että ehkäisevässä päihdetyössä kannattaa panostaa vanhempien keskusteluvalmiuksien vahvistamiseen ja vertaiskeskustelujen mahdollistamiseen vanhemmille. Aineiston perusteella näyttää siltä, että kotikeskustelujen sisältö riippuu vanhemman omasta elämäntavasta ja arvovalinnoista vähintään yhtä paljon kuin asiantuntijoiden suosituksista.
Talouden pedagogisoinnista: luonnostelua vastuun ottamiseksi performatiivisesta taloustiedosta
Authors: Alhojärvi Tuomo
Published: November 2022

Esittelen tässä katsauksessa ajatusta talouden pedagogisoinnista työkaluna, jolla nostaa esiin ja työstää talouden tietämiseen liittyvää valtaa. Puheenvuoron taustalla on pyrkimys demokraattisesti organisoituvien “talouden uusien muotojen” (Jakonen & Silvasti 2015) tukemiseen sekä talouden performatiivisuudesta käyty akateeminen keskustelu. Performatiivisuus tarjoaa kiinnostavia reittejä talouden representaatioiden tutkimiseen, talouteen liittyvien normien ja tottumusten ymmärtämiseen sekä talousvallan purkamiseen. Lähestyn performatiivisuutta ontologisena käänteenä, josta juontuu myös käytännönläheinen ongelma: talouden tietämisen sosiaalistava ja käyttäytymistämme kouliva luonne. Esitän talouden pedagogisoinnin yrityksenä vastata tähän ongelmaan. Avukseni tähän työhön rientävät kasvatuksen (ja talouden) ajattelijat Jacques Rancière, bell hooks, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Gert Biesta sekä J.K. Gibson-Graham. Tämän tarkastelun seurauksena talouden tietämisen ja tekemisen hierarkioiden kritiikki monipuolistuu ja talousdemokratian käytännölliset mahdollisuudet avartuvat. Lähestymistapa tarjoaa sosiaalipedagogiikan kannalta kiinnostavia haasteita.
Ultrasonic temporary softening and residual hardening
Authors: Alhilfi Ali H. , Rusinko Andrew
Published: November 2022

The present paper aims to model ultrasonic effects such as temporary softening and residual hardening. While temporary softening is observed during simultaneous action of mechanical forces and ultrasound, residual hardening manifests itself after switching off the ultrasound. The analytical description of these phenomena is conducted in terms of the synthetic theory of irrecoverable deformation. The model results show good agreement with experimental data obtained for the ultrasound-assisted compression of pure aluminum.

Published: November 2022

The diversity of temporal needs in the world has increased the people's rate of communication and interaction. Many factors play a role in increasing the rate of communication and interaction. One of these factors is mobile devices. It can be said that various mobile devices have features that affect human life in many dimensions in today's world. Therefore, these devices have a very important place for individual and social sustainability. Mobile phones are the most important of the various mobile devices in the globalizing world. The excessive use of mobile phones has produced the concept of nomophobia, which is a new type of addiction in the world. In this study, based on this type of disorder, it was aimed to determine the metaphorical connotations of preservice teachers regarding the concept of nomophobia. In this study, which was carried out with a qualitative research method and a phenomenological design, the study group members were asked an open-ended question in the form of "Nomophobia is like ……….…… because …………… ." and by which, the metaphorical connotations of the preservice teachers were aimed to be determined. The analysis of their answers revealed that the preservice teachers had remarkable metaphorical connotations regarding the concept of nomophobia. The connotations compiled in the study were combined under certain themes by the researchers and presented in the findings section.

Published: November 2022

Background: COVID-19 pandemic led to a drastical rearrangement within healthcare staff and facilities. Due to its high incidence, management of breast cancer (BC) was particularly critical during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the reduction of healthcare staff and facilities influenced the timing in BC care. The aim of the present report was to analyze the timing from diagnosis to surgery, from diagnosis to radiotherapy (RT) start and from surgery to RT start during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We retrospectively collected data of women with BC treated with Radiotherapy (RT) after surgery at our Institution (Department of Oncology, Radiation Oncology, S. Anna Hospital, Turin, Italy), during the COVID-19 pandemic. To evaluate patients’ data according to the different stages of the pandemic, we identified 4 periods: first wave (FW), first reopening (FR), second wave (SW) and second reopening (SR). Among the 4 periods, we divided patients in 2 groups: patients who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) before RT (CT-group), and those who received exclusive adjuvant RT (non-CT group). Results: from early March 2020 to 31 March 2022, 464 patients were treated. After patients’ selection, data from 390 patients were analyzed. Overall, the average interval between biopsy and RT in the non-CT group was 202 days during the FW (101–386), 172 days (85–242) during the FR, 136 days (69–366) during the SW, 159 days (77–455) during the SR. In the CT group, the average interval from biopsy to RT start was 337 days (224–495) during the FW, 277 days (209–496) during FR, 297 days (220–419) during the SW, and 261 days (169–447) during the SR. Conclusions: we reported our experience during these two years of the pandemic and how COVID-19 impacted the timing of the management of patients with BC. Overall, during the viral waves there was a remarkable increase in the interval between biopsy/surgery and RT. Nonetheless, we managed to keep optimal BC care and favorable interval trends were observed with reopening phases.

Published: November 2022

Background: Numerous hypoechoic cysts in the placenta on prenatal ultrasonography with a live fetus may indicate twin pregnancy with a complete hydatidiform mole with a coexistent fetus, partial mole, confined placental mosaicism, or placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD). Ultrasonographic appearances of these are similar; however, the differential diagnosis should be made because maternal and fetal prognoses differ. Cases: We present two cases of twin pregnancies with numerous placental cystic lesions. The first case was a partial hydatidiform mole in monochorionic diamniotic twins with a diploid karyotype that underwent a spontaneous abortion at 20 gestational weeks. The second case was PMD in dichorionic diamniotic twins; live twin neonates were delivered at 34 gestational weeks. Emergency cesarean section delivery was performed due to severe preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction in twin A at 34 weeks of gestation. Conclusions: Numerous hypoechoic cysts in the placenta on prenatal ultrasonography with a normal live fetus warrants chromosomal analysis and serial ultrasonographic examination to differentiate between PMD and molar pregnancy with a coexisting normal fetus to avoid unnecessary termination.

Background: The introduction of an experienced dedicated team is not a completely studied fact. Several studies reported a high external cephalic version (ECV) success rate when the procedure is executed by a single operator or a dedicated team. This study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of the ECV when the procedure is performed by senior experienced obstetricians or by super-specialized professionals who composed a dedicated team. Methods: Longitudinal retrospective analysis of ECV performed in a tertiary hospital. From 1 January 2018 to 1 October 2019, ECV were performed by two senior experienced obstetricians who composed the dedicated team for ECV, designed as Group A. From 1 October 2019 to 31 December 2019, ECV was performed by two seniors obstetricians, designed as Group B. Ritodrine was administered during 30 minutes just before the procedure. Propofol was used for sedation. Results: 186 pregnant women were recruited (150 patients in group A and 36 patients in group B). ECV success rate increased from 47.2% (31.7–63.2) in Group B to 74.0% (66.6–80.5) in Group A (p = 0.002). The greatest increase in the success rate of ECV was seen in nulliparae, from 38.5% (21.8–57.6) in group B to 69.1% (59.4–77.6) (p = 0.004). Complications rate decreased from 22.2% (11.1–37.6) in Group B to 9.3% (5.5–14.8) in Group A (p = 0.032). Conclusions: The introduction of an experienced dedicated team improves ECV success rate, especially in primiparas, and it also reduces ECV complications rate.
Differentiation Strategies of Private Universities: The Japanese Case
Authors: Hisatake Masato , Nishimura Yoshinori
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we analyze differentiation strategies among Japanese private universities in the higher education service market. We suggest that some Japanese private universities focus primarily on educational activity while others focus on advertisement activity. We also suggest that the institutions evaluating the quality of university education do not work well and propose that the public sector improves the functioning of the institutions providing information on Japanese private universities. Further, the sector should also educate Japanese consumers so that they could fully understand and evaluate the services that universities provide.

Objectives

To pilot test a mental health chatbot designed to screen users for psychological distress and refer to resources, addressing the strain on the U.S. behavioral healthcare workforce and exacerbated behavioral health challenges among U.S. adults due to COVID-19.

Methods

Data were collected via a national, cross-sectional, internet-based survey of U.S. adults. Measures included demographics, symptoms, stigma, technology acceptance, willingness to use the chatbot, and chatbot acceptability. Relationships between these variables were explored using chi-square tests, correlations, and logistic regression.

Results

Of 222 participants, 75.7% completed mental health screening within the chatbot. Participants found the chatbot to be acceptable. Demographic predictors of chatbot use included being White or Black/African American, identifying as Hispanic/Latino, having dependents, having insurance coverage, having used mental health services in the past, having a diagnosed mental health condition, and reporting current distress. Logistic regression produced a significant model with perceived usefulness and symptoms as significant positive predictors of chatbot use for the overall sample, and label avoidance as the only significant predictor of chatbot use for those currently experiencing distress.

Discussion

Chatbot technology may be a feasible and acceptable way to screen large numbers of people for psychological distress and disseminate mental health resources. Since label avoidance was identified as the single significant predictor of chatbot use among currently distressed individuals, chatbot technology may be one way to circumnavigate stigma as a barrier to engagement in behavioral health care.

Limitations

Recruitment through Amazon’s mTurk limits generalizability of our findings, and chi-square test effect sizes were small.
Assessing the publishing priorities and preferences among STEM researchers at a large R1 institution

Published: November 2022

The cost of academic publishing has increased substantially despite the ease with which information can be shared on the web. Open Access publishing is a key mechanism for amplifying research access, inclusivity, and impact. Despite this, shifting to a free-to-read publishing environment requires navigating complex barriers that vary by career status and publishing expectations. In this article, we investigate the motivations and preferences of researchers situated within our large research institution as a case study for publishing attitudes at similar institutions. We surveyed the publishing priorities and preferences of researchers at various career stages in STEM fields as they relate to openness, data practices, and assessment of research impact. Our results indicate that publishing preferences, data management experience and research impact assessment vary by career status and departmental approaches to promotion. We find that open access publishing is widely appreciated regardless of career status, but financial limitations and publishing expectations were common barriers to publishing in Open Access journals. We also observe training gaps in data management and research impact assessment among early career researchers. Our findings shed light on publishing attitudes and preferences among researchers at a major R1 research institution.
The role of early learning environments in child cognitive and socioemotional skills development: A study on educational inequalities in Ireland
Authors: Pietropoli Ilaria , Gracia Pablo
Published: November 2022

This study uses high-quality longitudinal data from the Growing Up in Ireland to examine how home learning environment (HLE) and early childhood education (ECE) influence children’s early skills development across socioeconomic status (SES). Results from random-effects linear regression models indicate that: (1) higher SES is associated with higher cognitive and socioemotional outcomes before entry into compulsory school; (2) having a supportive HLE improves children’s cognitive and socioemotional skills, whereas ECE quality fosters critically their socioemotional skills; (3) responsive and consistent parenting behaviours among low-SES families are important compensatory tools to improve children’s socioemotional outcomes; (4) attending a high-quality ECE cancels children’s behavioural problems in less responsive parenting environments, but literacy stimulation at home is necessary for obtaining cognitive skills returns from high-quality ECE attendance. Overall, this study shows that examining the interplay between HLE and ECE provides key understandings of unequal skills development processes during early childhood
Energy efficient centrifugal air extractor for environments contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus).
Authors: Anderson Ibar Federico
Published: November 2022

The product is a centrifugal air extractor, whose objective is to extract the stale air of SARS-CoV-2 or Covid-19 (Coronavirus); designed for civil and commercial use, it works with a single-phase alternating current (AC) motor of 220 (V) and 50 (Hz), with high energy efficiency (EE). Developed under the Design Thinking methodology, by electromechanical simulation using NI Multisim 14.0 software, case design using Cfturbo 2020 R2.0 CAD software, and rapid 3D prototyping with the OverLord Pro printer; with a prototype of the conventional stator winding of a synchronous motor with a two-pole PMSM/IPM single-phase alternating current (AC) field winding and a 4000 (Gauss) ferromagnetic ceramic magnet rotor. Innovating online nº 15 of invention patent nº 381968 by Nikola Tesla, 5/1/1888.One of the objectives is to link the middle level or Technical Schools with the University system (and careers with a Technological profile) through Project B374 located in the Secretariat of Science and Technology (SCyT) of the National University of La Plata ( UNLP), whose title is: “Integrated Management of Design and Innovation. Contributions for a theoretical-conceptual and methodological review” by the Director: Mg. Federico del Giorgio Solfa. Just as links were sought with the Research and Development Laboratory of the Department of Industrial Design (LIDDI-FBA-UNLP) through its Director D.I. Pablo Ungaro and D.I. Ana Bocos. In 2021, the project participated in the INNOVAR National Contest of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation of the Nation (MINCYT), Argentine Republic; in the "Covid-19 Projects" category, having been selected in the catalog of innovative products, won the 1st. "Covid-19 Projects" position of the National Agency for Research and Technological Development and local innovation (R+D+i) dependent on MINCYT.The results showed, according to the analysis of the test bench, that the PMSM/IPM type synchronous motor used in the centrifugal fan, with the innovation of the reactance-inductive control in series plus the capacitor in parallel, reduces the power by 67% (Watts) and active energy consumption (kWh), performing 56% more mechanical work (Joules) on the fluid air (with a 50% reduction in carbon footprint). Which leads us to the following conclusion: it is possible to develop centrifugal fans that save electricity (kWh) without the need to resort to (1) the "Fan Affinity Law", nor (2) the use of variable speed drives (VDF) or frequency (which are devices with complex and expensive electronics). Which would bring an enormous saving of the cost of electrical energy.

Abstrak: Sejumlah penelitian bahwa korban kekerasan seksual di kampus seringkali mengalami viktimisasi tambahan (ganda) dalam sistem peradilan pidana. Hal tersebut diakibatkan antara lain karena adanya sikap, reaksi, perilaku dan praktik yang menyalahkan korban oleh penyedia layanan sehingga terjadi pelanggaran lebih lanjut terhadap hak-hak korban dan/atau trauma tambahan. Oleh karenanya, di beberapa negara, penerapan keadilan restoratif sebagai alternatif lain dari proses peradilan pidana untuk penanganan kasus kekerasan seksual di kampus pun mulai
