Studying Health and Illness Experience using Linked Data (SHIELD): Empowering customers to donate shopping data for chronic pain research
Authors: Poon Neo , Haworth Claire , Dolan Elizabeth , Skatova Anya
Published: June 2024

Introduction & BackgroundChronic pain is considered a priority in healthcare and a threat to well-being across the globe, it is thus crucial to accurately measure the national levels of pain conditions and their impacts on workplace productivity and well-being.
Chronic pain has traditionally been studied in isolation with either self-reported survey data or standalone shopping records. The former are limited in scale and can be marred by response biases, while the latter lack ‘ground truths’: what research teams can measure are usually the purchase patterns of pain relief products, but neither the severity nor types of pain conditions.
Objectives & ApproachData donation tools offer a novel approach to study chronic pain by linking the two aspects and establish statistical relationships between medicine consumptions and the multiple facets of pain experience. In a survey, we asked participants (N = 953) to share their loyalty card data with us, which is made possible with the data portability tool provided by Tesco (i.e., the largest supermarket chain in the United Kingdom) as part of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Based on questions adopted from popular inventories used in health research (e.g., EQ5D Health States, ONS4 Well-being, WEMWBS scales), we also asked participants to report the details of their pain conditions, hours of employment, and both general and mental health states. This allowed us to associate chronic pain - both subjective and objective (i.e., reflected by medicine consumption) - with its economic and personal consequences. Data collection was conducted via research panel providers, thus should approximate national representativeness.
Relevance to Digital FootprintsThis work links digital footprints data donated by individuals to self-reported survey data, also develops an infrastructure for these data to be collected and safely stored.
Conclusions & ImplicationsOne key value of this project is to pioneer a measure of chronic pain that can be applied to transactional records that are much bigger in scale in future analytic works. Our research team has access to an array of different digital footprints data, including longitudinal transactional data provided by a major pharmacy chain (~20 million customers and ~429 million baskets). In order to utilise these data to associate them with regional workplace productivity measures and well-being data released by the Office for National Statistics, a metric must be defined to extract the prevalence of chronic pain from shopping data, which is informed by the patterns found by the data donation project.
Has HFSS legislation led to healthier food and beverage sales? The DIO-Food protocol – using supermarket sales data for policy evaluation
Authors: Jenneson Victoria , Pontin Francesca , Ennis Emily , Fildes Alison , Morris Michelle
Published: June 2024

Introduction & BackgroundOn 1 October 2022, new legislation came into force for England restricting the placement of some food and drink products high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS). Products such as confectionery can no longer be placed at store entrances, ends of aisles, or at the checkout in large retail stores and their online equivalents.
Objectives & ApproachOur protocol sets out how daily sales and product data from multiple retailers will be used to evaluate the legislation’s success in relation to HFSS sales, product portfolios and equitability. Food and drink sales data from 18 months pre- and 12 months post-introduction of the policy will be gained from multiple large UK retailers. Online sales are excluded.
Eligible stores were defined as supermarkets from our partner retailer brands with store areas larger than 280 square metres. From the eligible store sample, we selected 160 intervention stores (England) and 50 control stores (Scotland and Wales) from each partner retailer.
The sample provides equal store numbers across each decile of the Priority Places for Food Index (PPFI) from each retailer (n = 16), capturing food insecurity risk, and maximum coverage of store (store size) and store area characteristics (urban/rural status).
Controlled interrupted time-series will be used to estimate effects of the policy, with stores from Scotland and Wales (where the legislation has not been implemented) acting as controls.
Relevance to Digital FootprintsThis protocol sets out the first multiple-retailer independent analysis of the HFSS legislation, demonstrating how business digital footprints data can contribute to policy evaluation.
ResultsOutcomes will include sales of HFSS products and changes to available product portfolios. We will explore whether legislation impacts were equitable across stores in areas with different demographic characteristics, according to the English Indices of Multiple Deprivation and the PPFI.
Findings at the retailer and cross-retailer levels will inform sector-level insights regarding impact and potential next steps for policy and business practice.
Conclusions & ImplicationsOur conclusions will contribute to policy-relevant discussions around the effectiveness of HFSS government policy, with potential to influence future decision-making across the UK Devolved Nations.

Authors: Cecco Bruna Larissa , Bernardi Luci Teresinha Marchiori dos Santos
Published: June 2024

Este artigo, de natureza teórica, apresenta o movimento dos conceitos produzidos no âmbito da Educação Matemática para referir-se ao letramento matemático. As discussões acerca do letramento foram introduzidas no Brasil quando o termo alfabetizado não era mais suficiente para caracterizar as novas demandas de leitura e escrita da sociedade. Nessa perspectiva, a partir dos estudos brasileiros, buscamos diferentes termos que nos direcionaram a outros na literatura da área, em que destacamos: alfabetização matemática, numeramento, numeramentalização, literacia matemática, matemacia e materacia. A partir desses, temos por objetivo identificar os diferentes conceitos apresentados e as relações (in)existentes entre eles, atentando-nos à diversidade de perspectivas que compõe esse enredo. Assim, apesar da falta de unicidade em relação ao que se entende por letramento matemático, entendemos que há uma perspectiva histórica de construção e evolução de ideias sobre o ser letrado matematicamente. Ainda, sinalizamos a existência de uma dinâmica relacional entre os termos, bem como a categorização nas perspectivas da aquisição individual, prática social e crítica, não de forma estanque, mas com nuances maiores ou menores em cada uma delas.

Objetivo: A inteligência artificial (IA) é o futuro de todos os campos do conhecimento. No presente estudo analisar-se-á o uso da inteligência artificial no Poder Judiciário e, sobretudo, tentar responder a indagação: os algoritmos robôs podem exercer a atividade judicante? A problemática está em saber até que extensão essa nova fase trará segurança jurídica e isonomia. E ainda, a aplicação dos precedentes de forma obrigatória aos casos semelhantes pode violar o livre convencimento motivado nas decisões que serão proferidas pela utilização da inteligência artificial? As máquinas podem pensar? Metodologia: utiliza-se nesta pesquisa o método dedutivo, mediante pesquisa bibliográfica de livros, periódicos, artigos acadêmicos e revistas jurídicas, no qual se desenvolverá a compreensão da inteligência artificial e o princípio stare decisis na legislação brasileira. Resultados: a transformação digital das relações sociais é um fenômeno complexo, pois muda os pressupostos espaciais e temporais em que a inteligência artificial aplica o stare decisis, mediante a sua inserção gradual na civil law. É inegável que a inteligência artificial é o futuro de todos os campos do conhecimento e está cada vez mais sendo inserida no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, que por meio da tendência do Direito jurisdicional moderno direciona-se para o efeito vinculante das decisões precedentes judiciais (doutrina dos precedentes), no qual em situações idênticas utilizará a IA, que possibilitará atender aos principais pedidos dos jurisdicionados e dos operadores do Direito, que são a celeridade processual e a maior garantia nas decisões e com a uniformidade destas em processos semelhantes. Contribuições: o presente estudo traz ao debate a importância no reconhecimento da inserção, no sistema jurídico pátrio, da inteligência artificial e suscita questionamentos profundos sobre a natureza da Justiça, a imparcialidade e a responsabilidade ética envolvidas na tomada de decisões judiciais.

Visualization of Chladni Patterns at Low-Frequency Resonant and Non-Resonant Flexural Modes of Vibration
Authors: Suciu Barenten , Karimine Sota
Published: June 2024

In this study, Chladni patterns corresponding to resonant and non-resonant vibration modes are visualized on square plates made in steel and aluminum alloys in the low frequency domain of 10–210 Hz. Using a laser sensor, the plate displacement at its central excitation point is measured, and from the obtained frequency response, the resonant and anti-resonant vibration modes are identified. Using the quality-factor method, the damping ratio corresponding to the 1st resonant peak is evaluated. Over a wide range of excitation frequencies, transitions of Chladni figures between resonant patterns via non-resonant patterns could be observed. Such Chladni figures, of the simplest geometrical configuration, can be used to achieve a certain desired movement path of the particles on the vibrating plate by controlling the excitation frequency.

Indonesia, surrounded by three major tectonic plates—the Indo-Australian plate, the Pacific plate, and the Eurasian plate—faces a relatively high disaster risk. The city of Padang in West Sumatra, located on the western side of Sumatra Island and in proximity to tectonic plates, is particularly susceptible to earthquakes and tsunamis. To mitigate disaster risk, Padang requires evacuation-focused road infrastructure, including pedestrian paths. This study aims to assess the validity of sub-criteria parameters for creating pedestrian evacuation routes in Padang. It employs quantitative descriptive research methods, utilizing Aiken's V and Cronbach Alpha. The study involved distributing validation forms to five experts, comprising two Civil Engineering lecturers and three members of Padang City's BPBD (Regional Disaster Management Agency) specializing in Planning and Preparedness. The participants' responses, recorded through the forms, served as data for analyzing and identifying sub-criteria for evacuation-oriented pedestrian route design parameters. The study's findings reveal that one sub-criteria—Safety Fence from the Amenities parameter with a value of V = 0.7—is invalid.

Kopi Arabika Puntang menjadi salah satu produk unggulan pertanian di Desa Campakamulya, Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat. Cita rasa dan aroma yang khas menjadikan kopi ini banyak peminat, namun produktivitas kopi arabika ini terus menurun. Pengabdian pada masyarakat (PPM) ini berupaya mendongkrak produksi kopi Arabika Puntang di Lembaga Masyarakat Desa Hutan (LMDH) Bukit Amanah di Desa Campakamulya, Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat. Produktivitas kopi yang rendah di wilayah ini disebabkan oleh kondisi fisik lingkungan dan tanah yang kurang baik. Selain itu, setidaknya terdapat 17 spesies nematoda parasit yang berbeda ditemukan di tanah perkebunan kopi dengan tegakkan hutan pinus, yang dapat menyebabkan pertumbuhan terhambat, pematangan buah tidak merata, dan hasil panen rendah. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, PPM ini mengusulkan beberapa solusi yaitu perbaikan kesuburan tanah melalui pemupukan berimbang, pengendalian hama dan penyakit, dan praktik konservasi tanah. Seminar dan lokakarya dengan tema "Peningkatan Produktivitas Lahan Perkebunan Kopi Berbasis Karakteristik Tanah dan Lingkungan" juga menjadi bagian dari program PPM ini. Penerapan metode ini diharapkan mampu meningkatkan produksi kopi Arabika Puntang dan membantu memenuhi permintaan dunia akan kopi berkualitas tinggi ini. Petani juga mendapat manfaat dari program ini, karena meningkatkan pemahaman mereka tentang tingkat kesuburan tanah dan cara menjaga kesuburan tanah.

This research investigates the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of LM25 (Al-Si-Mg) alloy and Cr-modified LM25-Cr (Al-Si-Mg-Cr) alloy. Microstructural analysis reveals distinctive ε-Si phase morphologies, with Cr addition refining dendritic structures and reducing secondary dendrite arm spacing in the as-cast condition. Cr modification results in smaller-sized grains and a modified ε-Si phase, enhancing nucleation sites and reducing ε-Si size. Microhardness studies demonstrate significant increases in hardness for both alloys after solutionising and aging treatments. Cr-enriched alloy exhibits superior hardness due to solid solution strengthening, and prolonged aging further influences ε-Si particle size and distribution. The concurrent rise in microhardness, attributed to refined dendritic structures and unique ε-Si morphology, underscores the crucial role of Cr modification in tailoring the mechanical properties of aluminium alloys for specific applications.

Introduction: Mass media has an essential role in various aspects of life, including in the context of governance. Mass media is an information and communication medium that plays a central role as a relevant information provider and facilitates dialogue between government and society. Meanwhile, the role of mass media in the discourse on improving the quality of public services as an outward-looking aspect still needs to be improved. This research aims to examine the impact of news in mass media on public service responsivity.
 
Literature Review: As Neuner (2019) mentioned, mass media offers a wealth of literature addressing the media's effects on issues relevant to policies. In this research, it is known that the role of mass media is to facilitate public responses by communicating information about policy changes.
 
Methods: This study carried out a Mixed Methods approach by combining quantitative research with inferential statistical types with qualitative and descriptive types of research.
 
Result and Discussion: The averages for each indicator composing the Public Service Responsiveness variable (Z) are as follows: Service Response indicator (Z1) is 3.92; Service Speed indicator (Z2) is 3.93; Service Accuracy indicator (Z3) is 3.97; and Service Precision indicator (Z4) is 3.91. Thus, the average response for the Public Service Responsiveness variable (Z) is 3.93, which falls into the "sufficient."
 
Conclusion: The study results show that mass media has a positive and significant effect on the responsiveness of public services.

Out-of-school learning has been reviewed (Şen, A. İ. et al., 2021) as a promising way of teaching Science actively due to its ability to provide students with firsthand experience. Another driving force of education is motivation. It can stimulate a considerable part of students’ abilities and help lead to achieving desired educational aims. In this contribution, we provide partial results of evaluating students’ motivational orientation concerning learning in out-of-school settings. The background for the study is an Erasmus+ project, where partners from four countries (Turkey, Slovakia, Czechia and Germany) aimed to develop an out-ofschool learning curriculum for teacher training study programmes. Herein, we present the Slovak motivation data gained while performing and evaluating two specific activities proposed for the following out-of-school setting: (i) education in the pharmacy and (ii) education in the distillery (Skoršepa et al., 2022). The research includes data from 152 grammar school students (average age M = 15.76). The renowned psychological tools MSLQ and IMI were used to measure students’ motivation.

Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition, does not exclusively affect the elderly. It involves the degeneration and loss of neurons in the central nervous system. One common symptom is memory loss, which eventually leads to a loss of independence. The disease is characterized by Alzheimer’s changes, which also occur in related illnesses. The COVID-19 pandemic, with its limited contact between patients and their loved ones, has exacerbated the condition of those affected, highlighting the importance of social interaction for these individuals. Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia are examples of such diseases closely associated with Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, there is a lack of public interest in this topic, resulting in insufficient awareness. In care homes for the elderly, the involvement of students and beginners can be beneficial in enhancing both the physical and mental well-being of the residents through various activities. This support not only improves the patients’ condition but also assists the understaffed medical professionals working in these facilities. The article discusses the preparatory phase of the project and the awareness of degenerative diseases in the general society.

The present study highlights the ongoing threat of foodborne illnesses to public health, primarily caused by bacterial pathogens. Despite advancements in conventional microbiological testing techniques, which are sensitive but time-consuming, challenges remain in ensuring timely detection of contaminants throughout the food supply chain. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is recognized as a more effective approach to ensuring food safety, emphasizing proactive identification and control of hazards at critical points in production. Emerging technologies like quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and biosensors offer faster and more accurate detection methods, although with certain limitations. Biosensors such as ELISA, SPR, and electrochemical immunosensors, in particular, show promise due to their high sensitivity and specificity, enabling rapid detection of a wide range of contaminants. This paper underscores the importance of integrating advanced technologies with established food safety protocols to enhance the safety and quality of food products, benefiting consumers, producers, and regulatory agencies alike.

One of the most crucial elements influencing the efficacy of artificial insemination applications is semen quality. It is known that post-thaw semen quality was affected by thawing method. Errors made during the thawing process can compromise the motility, viability, morphology and DNA integrity of spermatozoa after thawing. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of four distinct thawing procedures on post-thaw semen quality in bulls. The first group was designated as 24°C (n=8); the straws in this group were thawed in a water bath at 24°C for 60 seconds. Second group was designated as 32°C (n=8); the straws in this group were thawed in a water bath at 32°C for 60 seconds. Third group was designated as 38°C (n=8); the straws in this group were thawed in a water bath at 38°C for 30 seconds. And the fourth group was designated as 70°C (n=8); the straws in this group were thawed in a water bath at 70°C for 7 seconds. Following the thawing process, motility, sperm morphology, viability, and DNA damage rate in spermatozoa were evaluated. Results showed that in 32°C group and 24°C group sperm motility significantly decreased when compared to 70°C and 38°C groups. Additionally, the 24°C group exhibited a significantly elevated DNA damage rate compared to the 70°C group, while no differences were observed in the other groups. In conclusion, the most ideal thawing procedures are at 70°C for 7 seconds and at 38°C for 30 seconds are recommended to get optimum sperm quality from frozen bull semen after thawing.
Effects of Heat and Drought Stress on Sustainable Agriculture and Future Food Security in Türkiye
Authors: Bas Serpil , Killi Dilek
Published: June 2024

This review investigates the effects of heat and drought stress on future food security of Turkish agriculture. Temperature average is expected to rise to 3.2°C at the end of the current century while annual precipitation will decline more than 10% in the west and south and rise by 20% in the north of Türkiye, implying that climate change will affect ecosystem sustainability. It is therefore crucial to develop strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change such as adjusting the planting schedule, reduced tillage, fertiliser microdosing, pre-sowing seed treatment, and the application of growth promoting bacteria to improve tolerance to stress by comprehending how plants respond physiologically and biochemically under these stress conditions. Long-term heat stress may hinder photosynthetic electron transport, decreasing the plant's ability to make use of energy for photosynthesis. The immediate response of plants under drought stress involves closing stomatal openings to reduce water loss through stomatal conductance. Combined heat and drought stress have a greater adverse effect on plant development and production than their effects in isolation. Plant phenotyping can play a major role in “climate-proofing” Turkish agriculture through the identification and development of crop varities with improved prouctivity, climate resilience and input requirements. Digital agriculture will also improve the efficiency of Turkish agricultural systems as the adapt to a hotter drier climate. To ensure future food security and the viability of the agro-economic system in Türkiye steps must be taken to make Turkish agriculture more robust in preparation for the impacts of climate change.
