Online Activism of Social Community in Handling Social Issues in The City Of Malang
Authors: Subekti Tia , Khurun'in Irza
Published: October 2020

his paper aims to see the formation of social movements in Malang addressing social issues in Malang. Some of the movements that become the focus of this paper are the Malang Care Community or ASLI Malang and Social and Humanist Society in Malang. Interestingly, the communities are doing their activities online and using social media as the main instrument of movement. If in general online media based-communities are only informative, it is different with Malang. Here the communities perform real actions such as social activities. For examples: social aids for victims of natural disasters, street children, poor people who need help, and other problems. Last but not least is the emergence of free motorcycle-taxi riders that arose due to the protest of angkot (city transport) drivers toward online motorcycle taxi resulting in an angkot drivers’ strike. The movement was able to collect motorcycle-rider volunteers up to 700 motorcycles and 80 cars. The 4 days activity was the culmination of the social community awakening which arises in response to socio-dynamic in society

The emergence of various social communities is the marker of the rise of civilian powers and the strengthening of non-state actors. The social community as a form of movement becomes an alternative for civil society to engage in social issues, rather than to join political organizations such as political parties or interest groups whose main interests are political interests. Charles Tilly (2004) defines social movements as an organized public collective effort to make certain claims to the intended authorities. Sidney Tarrow (2004) explains that social movements are generally born from social problems that lead to contentious. The orientation of social movements is to create a world order of social justice. Furthermore, in data collection, the authors conducted in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. By using social movement perspective, the main argument in this paper is, first, social media is the social community's main strategy for activism. Second, the pattern of social movements that arise is departing from social concerns of civil society in the city of Malang in view of social issues. Third, the formation of activism conducted by the social community in the City of Malang City aims to respond to social problem

Badan Publik di Indonesia memiliki kewajiban memberikan pelayanan informasi publik sesuai dengan amanah UU No.14 Tahun 2008 tentang Keterbukaan Informasi Publik. Kementerian Pertanian melayankan informasi publik mereka melalui sistem berbasis daring yang dinamai SiLayan(Sistem Informasi Layanan Permohonan Informasi Publik). SiLayan Situs web PPID Kementan pada dasarnya berisi informasi-informasi publik yang disediakan secara berkala, serta merta dan disediakan setiap saat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melihat bagaimana skema klasifikasi pada SiLayan dapat meningkatkan kecepatan dan ketapatan layanan informasi publik di Kementerian Pertanian. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Pendekatan yang digunakan dengan analisis deskripsi dan studi literatur. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan informasi yang diamanahkan pada UU No.14 tahun 2008 telah tersedia pada situs siLayan, dan untuk mendukung kecepatan dan ketapatan pelayanan PPID menggunakan sistem temu kembali informasi dengan mencantumkan skema klasifikasi arsip yang dapat diakses dari sudut pengguna maupun pengelola. Namun demikian penggunaan skema klasifikasi arsip tersebut belum maksimal karena pengguna masih belum familiar dengan cara dan metode penggunaan alat bantu temu kembali informasi tersebut. Salah satu yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan mengganti kalimat “database dokumen” yang menjadi tampilan skema klasifikasi arsip dengan menjadi “daftar informasi publik” sehingga pengguna awam dapat lebih memahami maksud dari penggunaan skema klasifikasi tersebut.

Creative Mathematical Thinking in a Numbers Game
Authors: Kruis Joost , Stevenson Claire , van der Maas Han L. J.
Published: October 2020

Creative thinking is increasingly recognised as an essential ability that should be part of school curricula. Given the move towards online learning and assessment, we investigate whether mathematical creativity can be assessed at-scale in the Numbers game, an arithmetic game in Math Garden, a popular online math practice platform. In the Numbers game, a generalisation of the 24 Game, children are asked to figure out how to compute a target number using basic arithmetic operations and a given set of numbers. We argue that creative thinking is required when the search space is complex, and propose that the base-pattern, i.e., the sequence of the operations needed to solve a Numbers game item, indicates search space complexity. We then demonstrate that items with disordered base-patterns are more likely to require mathematical creativity to figure out. Specifically, our analysis shows that for items with only one solution sequence, those with disordered base-patterns are more difficult and take longer to solve compared to items with ordered base-patterns. For items where multiple solution sequences are possible, nine times out of ten children choose ordered over disordered base-patterns. We conclude that the Numbers game has potential for assessing mathematical creativity at-scale.
Large Intelligent Surfaces Communicating Through Massive MIMO Rayleigh Fading Channels

Published: October 2020

Large intelligent surfaces (LIS) promises not only to improve the signal to noise ratio, and spectral efficiency but also to reduce the energy consumption during the transmission. We consider a base station equipped with an antenna array using the maximum ratio transmission (MRT), and a large reflector array sending signals to a single user. Each subchannel is affected by the Rayleigh flat fading, and the reflecting elements perform non-perfect phase correction which introduces a Von Mises distributed phase error. Based on the central limit theorem (CLT), we conclude that the overall channel has an equivalent Gamma fading whose parameters are derived from the moments of the channel fading between the antenna array and LIS, and also from the LIS to the single user. Assuming that the equivalent channel can be modeled as a Gamma distribution, we propose very accurate closed-form expressions for the bit error probability and a very tight upper bound. For the case where the LIS is not able to perform perfect phase cancellation, that is, under phase errors, it is possible to analyze the system performance considering the analytical approximations and the simulated results obtained using the well known Monte Carlo method. The analytical expressions for the parameters of the Gamma distribution are very difficult to be obtained due to the complexity of the nonlinear transformations of random variables with non-zero mean and correlated terms. Even with perfect phase cancellation, all the fading coefficients are complex due to the link between the user and the base station that is not neglected in this paper.

Tarih boyunca toplumların devletlerin temel hedeflerinden biri, ekonomik ve sosyal bakımdan farklı mensuplarının adil ve insanca yaşamalarını sağlamaktır. Bu ortamın sağlanması, mümkün olduğunca tüm fertlerin ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasına bağlıdır. Toplum içinde mutlak anlamda desteğe ve korumaya ihtiyacı olan gurupların başında yetim çocuklar gelmektedir. Keza Kur’an-ı Kerîm’in vahyi öncesinde cahiliye toplumunda görülen adaletsizliklerin başında yetimlere haklarının verilmemesi mevcuttur. Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’de, toplumdaki yetim algısını, yetim-toplum, yetim-vasî münasebetini yeniden düzenlemiştir. Aynı zamanda, yetimlerin haklarının gözetilmesi gerektiğini ifade eden birçok hadis-i şerifler mevcuttur.
Çalışmada ele alınacak olan Eytâm Sandıkları, XIX. Asırda yürürlüğe girmiş sosyal hizmet kurumlarından birisidir. yetimler için tesis edilmiş bu müessese, zamanla kötü niyetli idarecilerin eline geçerek bozulmaya başlamıştır. Çalışmanın amacı İslam dininde yetim hakkının önemini zikretmek, bu önemi Osmanlı Devleti’nin kurumuyla somutlaştırmak ve görevini kötüye kullanan idarecileri gün ışığına çıkarmaktır. Ayrıca yetim malları ile ilgili meydana çıkan olumsuzlukları ortadan kaldırmak adına devletin yayımladığı nizamnameler zikredilmiştir.

Reduction in US Health Care Spending Required to Meet the Institute of Medicine’s 2030 Target
Authors: McCullough J. Mac , Speer Matthew , Magnan Sanne , Fielding Jonathan E. , Kindig David , Teutsch Steven M.
Published: October 2020

Objectives. To quantify changes in US health care spending required to reach parity with high-resource nations by 2030 or 2040 and identify historical precedents for these changes.

Methods. We analyzed multiple sources of historical and projected spending from 1970 through 2040. Parity was defined as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) median or 90th percentile for per capita health care spending.

Results. Sustained annual declines of 7.0% and 3.3% would be required to reach the median of other high-resource nations by 2030 and 2040, respectively (3.2% and 1.3% to reach the 90th percentile). Such declines do not have historical precedent among US states or OECD nations.

Conclusions. Traditional approaches to reducing health care spending will not enable the United States to achieve parity with high-resource nations; strategies to eliminate waste and reduce the demand for health care are essential.

Public Health Implications. Excess spending reduces the ability of the United States to meet critical public health needs and affects the country’s economic competitiveness. Rising health care spending has been identified as a threat to the nation’s health. Public health can add voices, leadership, and expertise for reversing this course.
COVID-19 and the Rise of Participatory SIGINT: An Examination of the Rise in Government Surveillance Through Mobile Applications
Authors: Bernard Rose , Bowsher Gemma , Sullivan Richard
Published: October 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a significant growth in government surveillance techniques globally, primarily through the use of cell phone applications. However, although these applications can have actionable effects on public health efforts to control pandemics, the participatory or voluntary nature of these measures is obscuring the relationship between health information and traditional government surveillance techniques, potentially preventing effective oversight. Public health measures have traditionally been resistant to the integration of government-led intelligence techniques, such as signals intelligence (SIGINT), because of ethical and legal issues arising from the nature of surveillance techniques.

We explore this rise of participatory SIGINT and its nature as an extension of biosurveillance through 3 drivers: the rise of surveillance capitalism, the exploitation of a public health crisis to obscure state of exception politics with a moral imperative, and the historically enduring nature of emergency-implemented surveillance measures.

We conclude that although mobile applications may indeed be useful in containing pandemics, they should be subject to similar oversight and regulation as other government intelligence collection techniques.

Protective Measures during Construction of Ground Structures over Existing Underground Structures
Authors: Dalidovskaya A. A. , Pastushkov V. G.
Published: October 2020

Today, there is an acute issue of ensuring the safe operation of buildings and structures located in the immediate vicinity of new construction. The process of performing works on the installation of load-bearing structures and their further operation can have a negative impact on already existing facilities. In this regard, the task of developing innovative methods and tools to ensure the safe operation of such structures as subway running tunnels is very urgent. To solve it, a reliable forecast of additional deformation and appointment of a complex of protective measures are required.  In addition, much attention should be paid to the numerical modeling of the system “surface structures – protective measures – underground structures”. As an example of assessing the impact of new construction, namely, the erection of surface structures over existing underground  ones, one  can  cite  the  construction  of  a transport  interchange  at  the  intersection  of  Nezavisimosty  Avenue with Filimonov Street. As protective measures, a protective screen on bored piles has been used here, which made it possible to minimize significantly dynamic and static effects on the lining of tunnels and other underground structures of the subway. Effectiveness of protection application is confirmed by the result of monitoring the stress-strain state of running tunnel structures at all stages of traffic  intersection construction. Protective measures and continuous monitoring of the stress-strain state in structures help to avoid accidents during construction and further operation.
Single-Level Station Complex Structure for Application of Through Driving Construction Method
Authors: Kolikov A. О. , Pastushkov G. P.
Published: October 2020

Metro Service has a huge impact on the development of urban transport infrastructure. The need to increase the efficiency of passenger transportation is caused by the rapid growth in passenger turnover as well as an increase in the distance from the outskirts of the city to the center. In connection with the need to develop a metro service network in Minsk city, which is confirmed by research in the area of passenger traffic in the main areas of the city, the CSM Bessac tunnel boring machine was purchased, which allows significantly to increase the speed of  tunnel driving. The use of a mechanized tunnel boring machine in the traditional concept of the metro network construction, in which driving of tunnels is carried out after construction of stations, does not allow to use a shield with maximum economic efficiency due to the small extent of tunnels.  There is also a need to build assembly-shield chambers and carry out works on disassembling and  assembling  the shield. The application of the new concept developed by Yu. S. Frolov and called “through driving” is actual in the conditions of the use of a mechanized tunnel boring machine. Its essence lies in the continuous driving of tunnels on the line section under construction and the consecutive construction of each station complex as the tunnel boring machine passes through it. To implement the concept of “through driving”, it is relevant to use a semi-closed construction method, in which the floor structure is constructed in an open way, and the other elements are closed. The available solutions of the metro stations constructed while using a semi-closed method of work have been analyzed in the paper. A detailed analysis has been carried out with due account of the adaptation to the construction conditions in Minsk, and the development of structural elements and assemblies of the platform area of the station, which is a two-cantilever vault with a developed transom part, resting on pile-columns of a circular cross section. Forces from the open ring of flexible tunnels lining are supported by a cantilever part of an arch and a bottom plate. The paper considers a design of a metro station, its main elements, their purpose and specificity of work, as well as optimization issues and the results of the design feasibility study.

Nowadays there are a lot of modern technologies in electronic lexicography: speech synthesis technology, cross-referencing between dictionary modules, spell-checking functions, etc. The increasing availability of online information has necessitated intensive research in the area of automatic text summarization within the Natural Language Processing community. Belarusian scientists are also interested in this sphere and new lexicographical approaches for creating a linguistic database are shown in the paper. The authors present English-Belarusian-Russian electronic dictionary TechLex. This is the project of the 2nd English Department and the Department of Software for Information Systems and Technologies of the Belarusian National Technical University. The linguistic database of the dictionary is compiled not by the traditional method of processing a large number of paper dictionaries and combining the received translations, but by sequential processing of scientific and technical English-language periodicals. While the designing the dictionary the authors have taken into account the analysis of modern electronic multilingual translation dictionaries and created a client-server application in the Java programming language. The client part of the system contains a mobile application for the Android operating system, which has been tested on tablets and smartphones with different screen diagonals. The interface of the TechLex dictionary is designed taking into account the possibility of adding new subject areas and filling them with appropriate lexical material. The main advantage of our dictionary is that it is the first technical multilingual electronic dictionary having a Belarusian version.
Development of Real-time Monitoring System in Organic Rankine Cycle Operation of Lahendong Geothermal Field
Authors: Wibowo Satriyo Nurhanudin , Aji Prasetyo , Cahyadi Cahyadi , Suyanto Suyanto , Pudyastuti Kris , Akbar Muhammad Nur
Published: October 2020

Geothermal resources in Indonesia are commonly located in spread mountain area and some scattered in small islands, such as in Nusa Tenggara and Maluku province. Small scale geothermal power plant with a wellhead type may be required for some geothermal field areas. In operation and maintenance of geothermal power plant usually need high skilled personnel. The real-time monitoring system (RTMS) becomes a promising option for performance analysis and optimization from a remote monitoring room. The performance engineer may execute some small scale power plant in different project sites. The monitoring needs the data variables related significantly to the production of power output. Therefore, finding an attractive-interface, and related variables data of power output, become an interesting issue in performance monitoring.

Lahendong organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plant in North Sulawesi Indonesia, with a capacity of 500 kW, has implemented the RTMS. RTMS data, starting from the sensor reading up to the programmable logic controller (PLC) as a local data collector, transferred to the server (which placed in Germany) via the connection hub. From the server, the data stored on the database and visualize on the human-machine interface (HMI). The variables of the RMTS have been analyzed. The study includes analyzing the scatter-plot of the variables, plotting of the time variables, and applied the Pearson coefficient correlation (PCC) to discover the most related variables to the power output. The variables include brine inlet temperature, brine inlet pressure, hot water inlet temperature, hot water inlet pressure, and power output during the three months.

The result, the monitoring of the Lahendong ORC power plant gives positive feedback to the user, with interactive visualization data. The feedback shows that hot water temperature has the most robust correlation to the power output of the Lahendong ORC power plant with 0.91, close to 1 for PCC analysis.

In the future, machine learning analysis will be applied to RTMS on Lahendong, so that it will increase user experience and sharpening data analysis. The relocation of the server from Germany to Indonesia will be done to add decision-making features.

Expectedly, this paper can be a reference to other power plants and fields that apply RTMS as remote monitoring, taking into consideration the remote location of the geothermal field.

Authors: Onieva-Zafra María Dolores , Fernández-Muñoz Juan José , Fernández-Martínez Elia , García-Sánchez Francisco José , Abreu-Sánchez Ana , Parra-Fernández María Laura
Published: October 2020

Background: For many nursing students, clinical training represents a stressful experience. The levels of stress and anxiety may vary during students’ educational training, depending on their ability to adopt behavioral strategies for coping with stress, and other factors. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between anxiety, perceived stress, and the coping strategies used by nursing students during their clinical training.
Methods: A cross-sectional correlational descriptive study. The sample consisted of 190 nursing students enrolled in the Nursing Faculty of Ciudad Real University in Spain. Participants provided data on background characteristics and completed the following instruments: the Perceived Stress Scale; the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Coping Behavior Inventory. Relationships between scores were examined using Spearman’s rho.
Results: The mean age of participants was 20.71± 3.89 years (range 18-46 years). Approximately half of the students (47.92%) indicated a moderate level of stress with a mean Perceived Stress Scale score of 22.78 (±8.54). Senior nursing students perceived higher levels of stress than novice students. The results showed a significant correlation for perceived stress and state anxiety (r= 0.463, p<.000) and also for trait anxiety (r=0.718, p<.000). There was also a significant relationship between the total amount of perceived stress and the following domains of the coping behavior inventory: problem solving (r =-.452, p<.01), self-criticism (r =.408 p<.01), wishful thinking (r =.459, p<.01), social support(r =-.220, p<.01), cognitive restructuring (r =-.375, p<.01), and social withdrawal (r =.388, p<.01). In the current study, the coping strategy most frequently used by students was problem-solving, followed by social support and cognitive restructuring.
Conclusions: Nursing students in our study presented a moderate level of stress, in addition there was a significant correlation with anxiety. Nursing teachers and clinical preceptors/mentors should be encouraged to develop programs to help prepare nursing students to cope with the challenges they are about to face during their clinical placements.

Published: October 2020

Background: During the course of gene transfection, the interaction kinetics between liposomes and DNA is speculated to play very important role for blood stability, cellular uptake, DNA release and finally transfection efficiency. Results: As cationic peptide liposomes exhibited great gene transfer activities both in vitro and in vivo, two peptide lipids, containing a tri-ornithine head (LOrn3) and a mono-ornithine head (LOrn1), were chosen to further clarify the process of liposome-mediated gene delivery in this study. The results show that the electrostatically-driven binding between DNA and liposomes reached nearly 100% at equilibrium, and high affinity of LOrn3 to DNA led to fast binding rate between them. The binding process between LOrn3 and DNA conformed to the kinetics equation: y = 1.663631 × exp(-0.003427x) + 6.278163. Compared to liposome LOrn1, the liposome LOrn3/DNA lipoplex exhibited a faster and more uniform uptake in HeLa cells, as LOrn3 with a tri-ornithine peptide headgroup had a stronger interaction with the negatively charged cell membrane than LOrn1. The efficient endosomal escape of DNA from LOrn3 lipoplex was facilitated by the acidity in late endosomes, resulting in broken carbamate bonds, as well as the“proton sponge effect”of the lipid. Conclusions: The interaction kinetics is a key factor for DNA transfection efficiency. This work provided insights into peptide lipid-mediated DNA delivery that could guide the development of the next generation of delivery systems for gene therapeutics.
Magnitude of Turnover Intention and Associated Factors Among Nurses Working in Emergency Departments of Governmental Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: A cross sectional institutional based study.
Authors: Aniley Andualem Wubetie , Taye Biniyam , Girma Biruk
Published: October 2020

Background: Turnover intention is a probability of an employee to leave the current institution within a certain period due to various factors. It is the strongest predictor of actual turnover expected to increase as the intention increases. Emergency Department (ED) nurses are especially vulnerable to high turnover because of their increased risk of developing burnout and compassion fatigue associated with the work environment. This study is aimed to assess nurses’ intention to leave emergency departments and associated factors at selected governmental hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted on 102 nurses in three selected governmental hospitals, Addis Ababa from February 19 to March 31, 2018, using a structured pre-tested self-administered questionnaire. The logistic regression model was used and an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was calculated to identify associated factors.Result: A total of 102 respondents were involved with a response rate of 91.1%. Among them, 79 (77.5%) respondents had the intention to leave the current working unit of the emergency department or hospital. Significant predictive factors of nurses' intention to leave their institutions are educational status (adjusted odds ratio (OR) =4.700, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.033- 50.772; p<0.048), monthly income of less than 3145 Birr (adjusted OR=6.05, 95% CI=1.056-34.641; p<0.043) and professional autonomy (adjusted OR=0.191, 95% CI=0.040- 0.908; p<0.037).Conclusion: More than 77% of the respondents have the intention to leave their current working place of the emergency unit. Educational status, monthly income, and autonomy were significantly associated with emergency nurses’ turnover intention in three governmental hospitals. Emergency leaders and hospital managers should have made efforts to enhance nurses' decision making for patient care activities and shared decision overwork or unit related activities.

Background Escherichia coli antibiotic resistance is one of the major health problems in many countries. Nowadays, researchers are focusing on novel approaches for the treatment of E. coli infections, including the use of spore-forming probiotics for their high stability in the harsh gastrointestinal (GIT) environment.MethodsInitially, 300 stool samples were collected from patients with gastrointestinal infections admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran. Then, diagnostic tests were performed to detect E. coli isolates on the samples. A DNA test was applied to examine the presence of ctxM, luxS, eae and flu in the samples. Afterward, the effect of native and commercial probiotics of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulant was investigated on the expression of the studied genes. ResultsGenes of flu, eae, luxS, and ctxM which are involved in bacterial attachment, biofilm formation, signaling, and antimicrobial resistance were existing in four out of 40 E. coli isolated among patients suffering from diarrhea. The expression levels of flu, luxS, eae, and ctxM genes decreased significantly (p-value < 0.05) after co-culture of E. coli with B. subtilis ATCC 6633 and broiler-derived B. subtilis. Both broiler-derived B. subtilis and broiler-derived B. coagulans have a significant effect on all the studied genes.Conclusions The broiler-derived isolates had a greater capacity to decrease the expression of these genes than the standard strains, proposing their adoption for dietary supplementations.

Background: To observe the clinical effect of a modified posterolateral approach internal fixation in the treatment of posterior malleolar fracture. Method: From January 2015 to October 2018, 30 cases involving lateral and posterior malleolar fracture patient data were treated in our department. we observed operation time, fracture healing time and postoperative complications. At the time of the last follow-up, we evaluated ankle joint function by the American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle- hindfoot scale, the Short Form-36 (SF-36) outcome Tools and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Foot and Ankle Questionnaire. Result: In this group of 30 patients, the operation time of the patients was 80-120min (median 90min). The 25 patients were followed up for more than 1 year. 3 ~ 5 months after the operation, all the patients had bony healing. 3 cases with superficial wound infection. No other complication was found. The mean AOFAS scores at the postoperative 6-month, 12-month, and final follow-up were 78.4 (range, 72–90), 89.4 (range, 80–96), and 90.8 (range, 84–96), respectively. The mean SF-36 scores at the postoperative 12-month and final follow-up were 82.4 (range, 77.6–90.6) and 84.6 (range, 77.8–92.6), the mean AAOS scores at the postoperative 12-month and final follow-up were87.8 (range, 79–95), 90.6 (range, 82–96). Conclusion: Modified posterolateral approach avoided stripping the muscular origins of flexor hallucis longus, reduced the adhesion, and can fix the lateral and posterior malleolar fracture in the same incision, is worth popularizing in clinical.

Background: Wearable devices such as Fitbits may provide important insights about hospitalized patients that include data on low activity and poor sleep. Monitoring this information could spur interventions to improve mobility and sleep which may reduce the adverse effects associated with hospitalization. However, there is a lack of studies assessing the accuracy of wearables in hospitalized medical patients. The purpose of our study was to determine the accuracy of Fitbit heart rate, sleep and physical activity in hospitalized medical patients.Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort feasibility study enrolling 50 medical inpatients at two hospitals providing them with a wrist-worn Fitbit Charge. Our main measures were Fitbit heart rate, sleep and activity data as well as nurse recorded heart rates, patient reported sleep, and nurse assessments of activity.Results: Of the 50 patients who consented to the study, 47 patients wore the devices. Comparing pairs of heart rate data from Fitbit and nurse recorded vital signs for the same minute, there were 261 pairs available for comparison. The mean difference was 0.45 bpm (SD: 13.0, Pearson correlation: 0.68 P<0.001) and the 95% limits of agreement were -25 to 26 bpm. The association between the patient-reported sleep score and Fitbit total sleep duration was 0.19 (P=0.24) and between the self-reported hours of sleep and Fitbit total sleep duration was 0.21 (P=0.21). The correlation between nurse-recorded activity and Fitbit daily steps was 0.06 (P=0.52). Conclusions: Fitbit heart rates correlated well with nurse-recorded heart rate but did not correlate well with nurse assessments of activity nor with patient self-assessment of sleep. This study highlights limitations of the accuracy of current wearable wrist-worn device algorithms in activity and sleep detection in patients in hospital. The findings call into question the validity of Fitbits for assessment of patient activity and sleep in the hospital setting and suggest that they should not be routinely used without further validation.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03646435

Background Despite improvements in survival, persons living with HIV experience a range of physical, cognitive, mental and social health-related challenges. Among adult persons living with HIV in Malawi, the prevalence of disability and associated risk factors are not known. This study was designed to assess the prevalence of impairments, activity limitations and associated risk factors among adults living with HIV in Blantyre urban, Malawi. MethodsWe conducted a quantitative cross-sectional study among adult persons aged 18 years and older living with HIV and on ART receiving their care at five government run health facilities in Blantyre urban. We used the WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) for data collection. The ICF provides a unified, standard language and framework for the description of health and health-related states. The College of Medicine Research Ethics Committee (COMREC) approved the study and written informed consent was obtained from study participants. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to assess association between presence of disability and selected factors. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated.Results Of the 277 participants enrolled, 225 (81%) were female and 52 (19%) were male. The mean age of participants was 37 years (std. dev 9.5). Impairments in mental functions (43%) and sensory functions and pain (40%) were the most prevalent among the study participants. Energy and drive (18%), memory (14%) and sleep (13%) were the most affected mental functions. Socio-demographic characteristics were not significantly associated with occurrence of the mental function impairments. Conclusions Our study highlights the level of impairments among person living with HIV especially mental health impairments, sensory functions and pain. Integrated health services including mental health screening and care, physical rehabilitation into all HIV testing and treatment settings are very critical to improve service delivery but also general access to rehabilitation by persons living with HIV.
