Bias-Corrected Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Parameters of the Modified Power Function Distribution
Authors: Sangpoom Suttida , Klomwises Yuwadee
Published: October 2021

One of the extended power function distributions is the modified power function distribution. It has a malleable probability distribution and may be used to represent bounded data on an interval (0,1). The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach was used in the literature to estimate the distribution's parameters. However, because of the current prevalence of bias for a small sample size, this type of estimator has been widely warned. Consequently, we emphasize the method for reducing biased of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) from order  to . In addition, there are a bias-corrected approach (BCMLE) and a bootstrap approach (BOOT). Various scenarios in Monte Carlo simulations are proceeded to compare the effectiveness of estimators among MLEs, BCMLE, and BOOT methods. As a result, we found that the root mean square error of BCMLE is less than MLEs and BOOT. Similarly, when BCMLE MLEs and BOOT are applied to real datasets, the BSMLE has the smallest standard error.
HIGHLIGHTS

Focus on distribution for rates and proportions

Authors: Jitdorn Jurawan , Somprasert Chomchuen , Kongvattananon Puangpaka , Soonthornchaiya Rangsiman
Published: October 2021

Well-being and happiness are the ultimate goals of older people. Having a good quality of life is very important for this age group, in which well-being can be predicted through life experiences.  Research on the older adult group demonstrates that well-being is positively associated with happiness. In turn, happiness is linked with better coping, lower morbidity and lower mortality. Therefore, studying to understand this phenomenon, according to the experiences and perceptions of older adults, is the key to preparing for an aging society. The objective of this integrative review for nurses was to synthesize information from academic literature to provide insight into the experience and perception of well-being and happiness in older adults. The authors searched 5 databases - CINAHL, PUBMED, CLINICAL KEY, SCOPUS and SAGE journals - using the following key search terms: “(experience or perception or perspectives), AND (happiness or well-being), AND (older adults or elderly or late adulthood).” Only articles published between January 2010 and April 2020 were considered. The preferred reporting items for the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools were adopted for quality assessment. The authors finally selected 12 out of 651 references for integrative review.
The results show that the key points of view associated with the well-being and happiness of older people consist of 3 important issues. The first issue includes the challenges and concerns about late life involving independence, life quality, fear of squandering free time, being left out, and having a good death. Second are the strategies for living a meaningful late life through doing regular daily activities, creating self-esteem, finding life satisfaction, engaging in subjectively perceived activities, being optimistic, relying on religious attachment, and setting life goals. The last issue includes resources and support for older adults to reach their goals, which are family support, social support, and religious support. A challenge for future research is how to create interventions that promote the independence that leads to freedom in late life.

Published: October 2021

Information regarding correlations between physical activity (PA) level with physical fitness (PF) and respiratory function (RF) amongst undergraduates is limited. We aimed to determine the difference in PA level, PF and RF between genders amongst undergraduates. In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 62 undergraduates, with mean age of 22.09 ± 1.13 years, from the Kuala Lumpur Campus, University Kebangsaan Malaysia. PA level was evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and expressed as metabolic equivalents (METs). PF was evaluated using a hand-grip strength test and a 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) test. RF, which included FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC, was measured using a spirometer. About 45.16 and 40.33 % of undergraduates had high to moderate levels of physical activity, respectively. Males had significantly higher scores of METs compared to females, with p < 0.01. Males had significantly higher hand-grip strength compared to females, with p < 0.001. Higher FEV1 and FVC were found in males in comparison to their counterparts, with p < 0.001. Females had significantly higher FEV1/FVC compared to males, with p < 0.01. There were significant correlations between PA level with left hand-grip strength (r = 0.364, p < 0.01), right hand-grip strength (r = 0.264, p < 0.05), FEV1 (r = 0.423, p < 0.01), and FVC (r = 0.452, p < 0.01). Our findings suggest that an increase in physical activity level may lead to an increase in physical fitness and respiratory function. Higher levels of physical activity should be promoted among healthy young adults for improved physical fitness and respiratory function during their study at universities.

Authors: Hamidu Ahmad Aminu , Ibrahim Murtala , Daneji Bashiru
Published: October 2021

This paper attempt to explore the link between stakeholder engagement and CSR practice considering the best ways of achieving effective CSR implementation and creation of relationship through SE (Stakeholders engagement) which is an element of stakeholder management (Stakeholder management). The issues for consideration under SE are geared towards achieving a meaningful and participatory engagement of stakeholders by effective communication, introduction of an engagement process reflecting items agreed upon for decision making and legitimising or strategising stakeholders needs for organisational goals achievement. SM as a major issue aids in identifying the stakeholders based on their power to influence, urgency of claims and legitimacy of their relationship with the organisation. The identification process is only complete and relevant when the three attributes are utilised for prioritizing the stakeholders as latent, expectant and definitive stakeholders. The paper finally reviewed a three phase approach of stakeholder engagement and brought up a framework for achieving an effective CSR implementation by way of stakeholder engagement.

BACKGROUND: Recommended by the World Health Organization as an initial diagnostic test for TB in children, Xpert® MTB/RIF is widely implemented in many countries, including Kenya.METHODS: Three hundred HIV-positive and negative children (<5 years)
were enrolled in Kisumu County, Kenya, from October 2013 to August 2015. Multiple specimen types were collected from each child and tested using Xpert, liquid culture, and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST). Samples positive for rifampin (RIF) resistance on Xpert were tested using
line-probe assay and sequencing.RESULTS: Of 32 children with bacteriologically confirmed TB, 27 had positive Xpert results. Of these, 3/27 (11%, 95% CI 4–28) had RIF resistance detected on Xpert, but not by phenotypic DST, line-probe assay, or sequencing. For these three children,
five Xpert tests showed RIF resistance; all five tests had semi-quantitative “very low” results and delay or absence of probe D signal, whereas no Xpert results with higher semi-quantitative results showed RIF resistance. All three children responded well to standard TB treatment.CONCLUSIONS:
False RIF resistance may be detected in pediatric specimens. Further study is needed to determine if false RIF resistance is associated with low bacterial load.

BACKGROUND: Diagnostic tools to identify incipient or subclinical TB stages will be helpful for preventive intervention. A simple biomarker to predict TB may be the monocytes to lymphocytes ratio (ML ratio) in peripheral blood.METHODS: We assessed the relationship
between multiple time-updated ML ratio measurements and incidence of TB in people living with HIV (PLWH) after antiretroviral therapy (ART) was initiated. The ML ratio was updated at least every 6 months. TB incidence with corresponding 95% confidence intervals stratified according to time-updated
ML ratio was calculated using ML ratio in quartiles.RESULTS: A total of 1305 PLWH were included in the analyses: 46 had incident TB and 1259 remained TB-free. The TB incidence rate was 10.3 (95% CI 7.1–14.9) cases/1000 patient-years (PYR) among participants with ML ratio ≥0.25
compared with 1.1/1000 PYR (95% CI 0.4–2.9) among those with ML ratio <0.15. At cut-point 0.23, the ML ratio provided a diagnostic area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AROC) of 0.849 (95% CI 0.784–0.914) and a sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 71%.CONCLUSION:
Increased ML ratio was predictive of incident TB among PLWH on or after ART. The ML ratio can be a simple tool to stratify the risk of TB in PLWH.
Kierkegaard: Entre los Primeros Románticos y Hegel
Authors: Binetti María J. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

The same criticism of unreal abstraction, and empty universality repeats from Hegel to romandes, and from Kierkegaard to them and to him. The current article aims at inquiring the conceptual consistence of that criticism, approaching the essential content of their thoughts, and finally setting forth a possible speculative continuity, which would extend from first Romanticism to Hegel, and from him to Kierkegaard, for coming at last even to us.

Objective

To explore how multidisciplinary inflammatory arthritis (IA) care is accessed from the perspectives of people with IA and their health care network members.

Methods

In this phenomenological study, we used purposive sampling to recruit patients with IA for less than 5 years and age of more than 18 years who spoke English and reported two or more health care network members. We conducted one‐to‐one interviews with patients and their health care network members. Data were analysed using a social network perspective.

Results

We interviewed 14 patient participants and 19 health care network members comprising health care providers and informal caregivers. An overarching theme of whole person (holistic) IA care was identified, with the following two broad multifaceted subthemes: 1) connected networks and whole person care and 2) network disconnect and disrupted access to care. The first subtheme notes how access to health care providers and social support was fundamental to holistic care and how care was facilitated by communication pathways that promoted care. The second subtheme illustrates impediments to access, including appointment time pressures, inadequacies in communication delivery modes, and family physicians’ unfamiliarity with rheumatology care. Inequities in care were also reported.

Conclusion

Participants shared a goal of whole person care. Although health care networks included multiple disciplines, they did not always provide coordinated multidisciplinary care. Communication modes, linkages between network actors, and organizational structures governed the flow of information and resources through networks and influenced access to equitable whole person care. The development of health care system structures to support the flow of information and resource transfer is needed to promote network collaboration and equitable access to resources.

Published: October 2021

The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sponges exhibit exciting electromagnetic absorption (MA) performance in high‐frequency range. However, it is still a great challenge to realize desirable MA property at low frequency (2–4 GHz) due to the great difficulty in balancing the good interfacial impedance matching and strong dielectric loss. Herein, the MA metamaterials based on rGO sponge with different unit shapes are reported. The relationship between the unit shape and MA performance is explored by experiment and simulation. The results show that frustum pyramid metamaterial exhibits ultrabroad band MA; the qualified absorption (the reflection loss lower than −10 dB) of electromagnetic wave can be achieved at 2.4–40 GHz. The average absorption intensity is −22.9 dB in the band of 2–40 GHz. Moreover, the bandwidth for strong absorption with an absorption rate of 99% (−20 dB) is up to 32 GHz. It is significant that the reflection loss has ignorant change even though the incident angle is increased from 5° to 40°. These are contributed to the excellent impedance matching and strong dielectric loss. These lightweight frustum pyramid metamaterials are very promising in the application for broadband electromagnetic protection.

All‐inorganic halide perovskites have drawn a lot of research attention very recently owing to their potential solution to the instability issue currently faced by the organic–inorganic counterparts. Meanwhile, the halide perovskites in a solid film are manifested as microscale morphologies whose functionalities are unavoidably affected by the interior or exterior presence of various nanoscale entities. Here all‐inorganic solid films are fabricated with varying densities of single CsPbBr3 microcrystals, showing that very sharp photoluminescence peaks can be universally observed at 4 K with the linewidths being as narrow as hundreds of μeV. The single‐photon emission nature is confirmed for such a photoluminescence peak, whose intensity is completely quenched above ≈30 K to suggest its possible origin from a low potential‐energy region of the single microcrystal. The discovery of such a novel emitting species in halide perovskites, with the enriched structure–property relationship, will surely impart significant influences on the advancement of relevant optoelectronic devices and quantum‐light sources.
Spatiotemporally Controllable Distribution of Combination Therapeutics in Solid Tumors by Dually Modified Bacteria

Methods capable of distributing antitumor therapeutics uniformly and durably throughout an entire tumor would be of great significance in maximizing their treatment efficacy, but they have proven to be extremely challenging. Here, bacteria‐mediated spatiotemporally controllable distribution of combination therapeutics in solid tumors is reported to reprogram the immune microenvironment for optimizing antitumor efficacy. By combining synthetic biology and interfacial chemistry, bacteria are inside and outside concurrently modified to express photothermal melanin and to attach immune checkpoint inhibitors on their surface. Due to the nature of bacteria to colonize the hypoxia intratumoral environment, both therapeutic agents can be distributed homogenously and lastingly in tumors during ex vivo human and in vivo mouse studies. Spatiotemporally controllable localization of melanin can repeatedly generate a moderate yet uniform heating of the tumor upon light exposure in a broad treatment window. Combination with similarly localized inhibitors elicits a dual photothermally stimulated and checkpoint‐blockade‐mediated immune activation effect, synergistically reprogramming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Therapeutic values are demonstrated by significantly inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival of mice in both subcutaneous and orthotopic murine models. Colonization of dually modified bacteria paves an avenue for spatiotemporally controllable distribution of therapeutic drugs in solid tumors.

Published: October 2021

Particle sizes represent one of the key factors influencing the usability and specific targeting of nanoparticles in medical applications such as vectors for drug or gene therapy. A multi‐layered graph convolutional network combined with a fully connected neuronal network is presented for the prediction of the size of nanoparticles based only on the polymer structure, the degree of polymerization, and the formulation parameters. The model is capable of predicting particle sizes obtained by nanoprecipitation of different poly(methacrylates). This includes polymers the network has not been trained with, indicating the high potential for generalizability of the model. By utilizing this model, a significant amount of time and resources can be saved in formulation optimization without extensive primary testing of material properties.
