© Copyright © 2019 Fleming, Stasiak, Moselen, Hermansson-Webb, Shepherd, Lucassen, Bavin and Merry. Background: The way in which computerized therapy is presented may be important for its uptake. We aimed to explore adolescents’ views on the appeal of a tested computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (CCBT) for depression (SPARX), and a revised version (SPARX-R). The versions were similar but while SPARX is presented explicitly as a treatment for depression, SPARX-R is presented as providing skills that could be useful for young people for when they were depressed, down, angry, or stressed. Methods: We held 9 focus groups with a total of 79 adolescents (13–19 years old; 47 females; 34 New Zealand European; 22 Māori or Pacific; 60 reported having experienced feeling down or low for at least several days in a row). Groups viewed the opening sequences of SPARX and SPARX-R (in random order), then took part in a semi-structured discussion and completed a brief questionnaire. Responses were analyzed using a general inductive approach. Results: Participants considered both SPARX and SPARX-R useful and considered the stated purpose of the program to be important. Four themes contrasted the two approaches. The first, “naming depression is risky”, referred to perceptions that an explicit focus on depression could be off-putting, including for adolescents with depression. The second theme of “universality” reflected preferences for a universal approach as young people might not recognize that they were depressed, and all would benefit from the program. In contrast, “validation” reflected the view of a significant minority that naming depression could be validating for some. Finally, the theme of “choice” reflected a near-unanimously expressed preference for both options to be offered, allowing user choice. In questionnaire responses, 40 (68%) of participants preferred SPARX-R, 13 (18%) preferred SPARX, while 10 (14%) “didn’t mind”. Responses were similar among participants who reported that they had experienced at least a few days of low mood and those who had not. Conclusions: The way a CCBT program is presented may have implications for its appeal. The potential population impact of CCBT programs explicitly targeting depression and those targeting more universal feelings such as being stressed or feeling depressed should be explored for varied user groups.

Published: May 2020

Information technology has made mobile banking easy, convenient and accessible to 178 million unique mobile subscribers base in Indonesia. Out of this 50 million are smartphone users and collectively about 132 million are internet users . This rising trend has been forcing 120 commercial banks  in the country to ramp up their mobile-based banking initiatives. However, in contrast to it, only 50 million have bank accounts out of 250 million Indonesian population size . This poses a few challenges to digital adoption using mobile as medium, especially when a limited number of people have bank accounts and the cost of internet is high due to geographical, infrastructural spread and cost barriers. The purpose of this study is to unearth such factors that have - direct or indirect - influence on consumer acceptance for mobile banking applications. This research model examines 205 respondents from online surveys in Jabodetabek, Indonesia. To conduct this study, we have used Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model that helps in understanding perceived credibility and perceived self-efficacy variables and their roles in influencing the adoption for m-banking. Data was analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The findings suggest that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence have a significant effect on behavioral intention. Performance expectancy is the factor that mostly influences behavior intention. It can also be stated that behavioral intention, facilitating condition and habit – all of these have a significant effect on reuse behavior.

One of the ways that can be done to stop its spreading is to break the spreading chain of the virus by detecting and doing quarantine. X-Ray imaging can be used as an alternative in detecting Covid-19. X-Ray is considered able to describe the condition of the lungs for Covid-19 suspected patients and can be a supporting tool for clinical diagnosis. In this study, we propose a residual based deep learning approach for Covid-19 detection using chest X-Ray images. Evaluation is carried out to determine the performance of the proposed method in the form of precision, recall, F1 and accuracy. Experiments results show that our proposed method provides precision, recall, F1 and accuracy respectively 0.98, 0.95, 0.97 and 99%. In the future, this study is expected to be validated and then used to support clinical diagnoses by doctors.Keywords: Coronavirus-2019, Covid-19, chest X-Ray, deep learning, residual network

Published: May 2020

Background: The health benefits of blood donation are well known. However, the overall effect of long term regular blood donation on body iron store and blood pressure need to be evaluated among voluntary blood donors. Objective: To determine the effect of long term, regular blood donation on body iron store and blood pressure among regular voluntary non-remunerated blood donors in Lagos, Nigeria. Methods: Consenting adult blood donors (n = 320), ranging from the first time to regular blood donors were studied over six months. Supine blood pressure (BP) readings were taken twice at 30 minutes interval with a mercury sphygmomanometer. Venous whole blood was drawn into EDTA anti-coagulated and plain tubes for haematological parameters and serum ferritin estimation using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Results: The mean serum ferritin levels declined significantly from 95.5ng/mL among first time donors to 68.9ng/mL among Category III donors (p = 0.035). Male voluntary blood donors had increased risk of low serum ferritin level (OR = 5.02; 95%CI= 1.12-22.51; p = 0.035). Lower values of serum ferritin were recorded more frequently among donors within the 21-30 year age category (OR = 1.54; 95%CI = 1.0-2.71; p= 0.042). Long term regular voluntary blood donation was associated with significant reduction in mean systolic blood pressure (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Long term blood donation resulted in the reduction of blood pressure. Progressive increase in the duration of donation resulted in reduced iron stores even as haemoglobin concentration levels remained acceptable for blood donation.

Authors: Adebayo Philip , Taiwo Funmilola , Bakshi Fatma , Nur Sunham
Published: May 2020

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), otherwise known as Pick’s disease, is a clinically heterogeneous group of sporadic and familial neurodegenerative diseases. These conditions are characterized by dementia, behavioural and language dysfunction and loss of executive skills resulting from the degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes. Although reversible causes of dementia are always sought during the evaluation of patients with progressive cognitive decline, the occurrence of a reversible aetiology may distract from evaluating for neurodegenerative causes of dementia. This report is about a 66-year old man with features of FTD and superimposed chronic subdural haematoma.

Authors: Kayode-Iyasere Edith , Odiase Francis Ehidiamen
Published: May 2020

Background: Stroke is a significant cause of hospital admissions, disability and mortality, but there is a lack of information on stroke in parts of the southern region of Nigeria. Objective: To analyze the frequency of stroke admissions, clinical presentations, risk factors, stroke types and outcomes over seven years, in a secondary level hospital in southern Nigeria. Methods: This was a retrospective study. The hospital record of patients hospitalized between January 2006 and December 2012 at the Central Hospital, Benin-City with the diagnosis of stroke based on the World Health Organization (WHO)-clinical criteria, were studied. Results: Four hundred and nineteen patients with stroke were hospitalized during the study period; this accounted for 3.1% of all the medical admissions. The mean age was 62.4 ± 13.6 years. There were 222 (53%) males and 197(47.0%) females. Ischaemic stroke occurred among 71% of cases; others included intra-cerebral haemorrhage (26%) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (3.1%).  The main presenting features included hemiparesis (69%) and sudden loss of consciousness (27.2%). The risk factors included hypertension (84%) and diabetes mellitus (12.2%). The 7, 14 and 30 days case fatality rates were 21.2%, 25.5% and 30.8% respectively. A higher case fatality rate was recorded in haemorrhagic stroke compared to ischaemic stroke (68.8% vs 24%, p = 0.0001). Conclusion: Stroke was a significant cause of mortality amongst medical admissions and hypertension was the most common risk factor. Closer attention to the risk factors for stroke may likely help to reduce the burden of stroke.

Published: May 2020

Background: The incidence of neonatal macrosomia is on the increase in many parts of the world. The impact of the condition on baby and child health has not received adequate research attention. Objective: To determine the prevalence, baby and maternal characteristics, the pattern of neonatal morbidity and perinatal outcome of macrosomia. Methods: A retrospective study of all singleton deliveries with birth weight ≥ 4.0 kg was conducted at a tertiary facility in the south-western part of Nigeria between January 2013 and December 2014. Results: Eighty-eight newborn babies were macrosomic out of 1854 deliveries, resulting in a prevalence rate of 4.7%. The male-to-female ratio was 1: 0.54, while the mean (±SD) birth weight was 4.23 ± 0.29 kg. There was no significant difference in the mean birth weights of the male and female babies (t = 1.24, p = 0.218). The mean maternal age was 31.7 ± 5.1 years.  Multiparous mothers had the highest proportion of macrosomic babies, while a majority of mothers (77.3%) were either overweight or obese. One-minute Apgar score <7 was observed among 28 (31.8%) babies. Twenty-three (26.1%) babies were hospitalized for further management. Birth asphyxia, hypoglycaemia and hyperbilirubinaemia were the leading morbidities. The perinatal mortality rate for macrosomic babies was 102.2 per 1000 total births. Conclusion: The incidence of neonatal macrosomia is relatively low in our study population but falls within the range of prevalence rates reported from other parts of the country. Birth asphyxia, hypoglycaemia and hyperbilirubinemia are common morbidities among affected babies.

Published: May 2020

Background: The Post-Operative Symptom Severity (Posse) score is useful in the assessment of patients after third molar surgery. Objective: To evaluate patients' perceptions of quality of life after surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar by comparing their Post-operative Symptom Severity (PoSSe) scores at Post-operative Weeks (POW) 1 and 4. Methods: Seventy patients (age 18 to 35 years) at the Out-Patient Department were enrolled in a prospective study prior to surgical removal of third molars. Each patient was given a PoSSe questionnaire to be completed at POW 1 and POW 4. The scale assessed recovery in seven key domains on patients’ subjective feeling about pain, eating, speech, sensation, appearance, sickness and interference with daily activities. Results: All but one patient returned completely filled questionnaires. The mean age of the study population was 25.7 ± 4.5 years. The mean PoSSe score at POW 1 and POW 4 were 35.0 ± 7.2 and 33.2 ± 6.9 respectively with statistically significant difference (p = 0.010). The PoSSe score was higher among males compared to females at POW 1 (37.2 ± 7.6 vs 33.5 ± 6.6) and also higher among males at POW 4 (33.8 ± 9.4 vs 32.7 ± 4.6). Conclusion: The severity of symptoms was perceived to be worse at POW 1 when compared to POW4 but the symptoms were still severe at POW4. There is a need for surgeons need to pay more attention to management of symptoms in the post-operative intermediate period.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. THE CASE OF THE DISTRICTS OF KUYAVIAN-POMERANIAN PROVINCE
Authors: Marszałek-Kawa Joanna , Siemiątkowski Piotr
Published: May 2020

The aim of the paper is to provide the objective assessment of progress in the implementation of the goals of the local sustainable development strategy by the districts of Kuyavian-Pomeranian Province. In order to achieve our aim, we have devised, using methods of taxonomic analysis, the synthetic indicator (taking a lot of different measures of sustainable development into account), which shows the degree of the accomplishment of goals adopted in the sustainable development goals. In the collective of units under study, there is a significant differentiation of the level of indicators analyzed within the framework of the sustainable development strategy. It must be emphasized that there are as many as 12 districts in the lower quartile of the distribution of the synthetic measure, i.e., its level was below 0.25. 11 self-government units were in the second quartile of the distribution, i.e., in range between 0.25 and 0.5 of the synthetic indicator. Relatively big taxonomic distances between synthetic measures for individual districts, with quite a large set of features, show significant differentiation among these parts of Kuyavian-Pomeranian Province in terms of local sustainable development. Despite the fact that the examined objects belong to the same administrative unit, which would appear to be relatively coherent, they do not develop at the same pace. Moreover, given a broad set of indicators, they differ significantly when it comes to the rate of their sustainable development. The findings of this paper highlight the use of multidimensional taxonomic analysis for measuring the progress of local units in the degree of the accomplishment of the sustainable development goals. First of all, it helps to show differences in the implementation of the development strategies across districts. What is more, it shows these differences on the basis of the complete set of diverse features rather than single parameters (e.g., pace of growth). Thus, the multidimensional approach is a lot more precise when it comes to showing differences among the examined objects.
CAUSALITY OF RISKS, COST OF EQUITY AND SHADING OF THE ENTERPRISE INCOME
Authors: Tereshchenko Oleh , Babiak Nataliia
Published: May 2020

The scandals with concealment of income by large companies in tax havens, the unresolved problem of estimating the size of the shadow economy, and its high share in emerging markets (EM) make issues of the methodology for calculating the shadow income of enterprises relevant for today. The aim of the study is to substantiate the method for calculating the scope of shadowing of legal business income based on the method of shadow rates of costs on invested (equity) capital. The authors construct a two-factor linear regression, which enables to test the hypothesis of the effect of the expected rate of return and return on equity at the shadow economy level. The regression analysis confirms a negative correlation between ROE and the shadow economy level. There is a positive correlation between the risks of investing in equity, which are reflected in the expected rate of return on capital, and the total income shadowing. The regression-correlation analysis of the dependence of the shadow income of enterprises on these factors confirms a similar pattern. Comparison of the obtained values of the shadow income of enterprises in Ukraine with alternative estimates of the shadow economy reveals a higher sensitivity of the proposed method to changes in country risks, as well as to decisions aimed at improving business conditions. It is confirmed that the exacerbation of risks automatically reflects on the expectations regarding the return on investment and on the official declaration of income. Therefore, the shadow economy reduction is related directly to a set of measures aimed at minimizing the risks of business activities.

TMPRSS2 inhibitors, Bromhexine, Aprotinin, Camostat and Nafamostat as potential treatments for COVID-19.
Authors: Azimi Arsalan
Published: May 2020

In December 2019 SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan, China, leading to a pandemic in March 2020. Although clinical presentation of COVID-19 ranges from no symptoms to acute respiratory and multiorgan failure, the vast majority of the patients only experience flu-like symptoms. However because of highly contagious nature of the disease, overall COVID-19 is considered a global health burden. Since ACE2, TMPRSS2 expressing cells are the potential hosts for the virus, inhibiting TMPRSS2 by clinically proven protease inhibitors Bromhexine, Aprotinin, Camostat and Nafamostat are suggested as potential treatments for COVID-19.
Diversity As I Say, Not As I Do: Organizational Authenticity and Diversity Management Effectiveness
Authors: Marcinko Andrew J , Crisp Richard J.
Published: May 2020

This research examined how a misalignment between an organization’s espoused values and its realized practices regarding diversity affected employees’ affective commitment, organizational identification, and turnover intentions. Further, it investigated whether these relationships were mediated by perceived organizational authenticity. Using an experimental methodology, Study 1 tested the effects of both an organization’s diversity management approach (espoused values) and its demographic representativeness (realized practices) on employee attitudes. The results supported a moderated mediation model such that when an organization was less demographically diverse, participants reported lower identification and commitment when the organization also expressed instrumental diversity management approach values (i.e., diversity was instrumental to the organization’s primary business objectives). Further, these relationships were fully explained by the extent to which participants perceived the organization as (in)authentic. In Studies 2 and 3, an intervention was developed based on previous research involving hypocrisy and two-sided messaging. When either a university (Study 2) or a company (Study 3) included an “honest hypocrite” message acknowledging that they were not yet as diverse as they would like, it negated the negative effects of an espoused values / realized practice mismatch. Finally, Study 4 surveyed working professionals and found support for a serial mediation where the positive relationship between an organization’s espoused – practiced discrepancy and employee turnover intentions was explained by perceived organizational authenticity and affective commitment / organizational identification in parallel. These findings’ contribution to our understanding of diversity management effectiveness is discussed.
Logarithmic Axis Graphs Distort Lay Judgment
Authors: Ryan William , Evers Ellen Riemke Katrien
Published: May 2020

COVID-19 data is often presented using graphs with either a linear or logarithmic scale. Given the importance of this information, understanding how choice of scale changes interpretations is critical. To test this, we presented laypeople with the same data plotted using differing scales. We found that graphs with a logarithmic, as opposed to linear, scale resulted in laypeople making less accurate predictions of growth, viewing COVID-19 as less dangerous, and expressing both less support for policy interventions and less intention to take personal actions to combat COVID-19. Education reduces, but does not eliminate these effects. These results suggest that public communications should use logarithmic graphs only when necessary, and such graphs should be presented alongside education and linear graphs of the same data whenever possible.
Fathers’ facial morphology does not correspond to their parental nurturing qualities

A popular trade-offs theory, used to explain patterns of human mating, holds that masculine men provide reproductive benefits that might include higher genetic quality, whereas feminine men provide greater direct benefits such as parental investment. In line with the latter premise, previous studies have found that feminine-faced men are perceived as better parents. However, direct empirical investigations of this premise have been so far lacking. Here, we obtained ratings of the parental qualities of 108 fathers, as assessed by themselves, their grown-up daughters, and/or the daughter’s mother, using the Nurturant Fathering Scale. We also obtained facial photographs of the fathers, and calculated several standard objective measurements of the fathers’ facial masculinity. There was high agreement between the three family members in their assessments of the parenting qualities of the father. However, there was no good evidence that facially feminine men were more investing fathers. Unless evidence for feminine men’s greater parental investment can be found elsewhere, this raises further questions over the application of the trade-offs theory in understanding the appeal of men’s facial femininity.
Do adolescents always take more risks than adults? A within-subjects developmental study of context effects on decision making and processing

Adolescents take more risks than adults in the real world, but laboratory experiments do not consistently demonstrate this pattern. In the current study, we examine the possibility that age differences in decision making vary as a function of the nature of the task (e.g., how information about risk is learned) and contextual features of choices (e.g., the relative favorability of choice outcomes), due to age differences in psychological constructs and physiological processes related to choice (e.g., weighting of rare probabilities, sensitivity to expected value, sampling, pupil dilation). Adolescents and adults made the same 24 choices between risky and safe options twice: once based on descriptions of each option, and once based on experience gained from sampling the options repeatedly. We systematically varied contextual features of options, facilitating a fine-grained analysis of age differences in response to these features. Eye-tracking and experience-sampling measures allowed tests of age differences in predecisional processes. Results in adolescent and adult participants were similar in several respects, including mean risk-taking rates and eye-gaze patterns. However, adolescents’ and adults’ choice behavior and process measures varied as a function of decision context. Surprisingly, age differences were most pronounced in description, with only marginal differences in experience. Results suggest that probability weighting, expected-value sensitivity, experience sampling and pupil dilation patterns may change with age. Overall, results are consistent with the notion that adolescents are more prone than adults to take risks when faced with unlikely but costly negative outcomes, and broadly point to complex interactions between multiple psychological constructs that develop across adolescence.
From the principle of least action to the conservation of quantum information in chemistry. Can one generalize the periodic table?
Authors: Penchev Vasil Dinev
Published: May 2020

In fact, the first law of conservation (that of mass) was found in chemistry and generalized to the conservation of energy in physics by means of Einstein’s famous “E=mc2”. Energy conservation is implied by the principle of least action from a variational viewpoint as in Emmy Noether’s theorems (1918): any chemical change in a conservative (i.e. “closed”) system can be accomplished only in the way conserving its total energy. Bohr’s innovation to found Mendeleev’s periodic table by quantum mechanics implies a certain generalization referring to the quantum leaps as if accomplished in all possible trajectories (according to Feynman’s interpretation) and therefore generalizing the principle of least action and needing a certain generalization of energy conservation as to any quantum change. The transition from the first to the second theorem of Emmy Noether represents well the necessary generalization: its chemical meaning is the generalization of any chemical reaction to be accomplished as if any possible course of time rather than in the standard evenly running time (and equivalent to energy conservation according to the first theorem).The problem: If any quantum change is accomplished in all possible “variations (i.e. “violations) of energy conservation” (by different probabilities), what (if any) is conserved?An answer: quantum information is what is conserved. Indeed, it can be particularly defined as the counterpart (e.g. in the sense of Emmy Noether’s theorems) to the physical quantity of action (e.g. as energy is the counterpart of time in them). It is valid in any course of time rather than in the evenly running one. That generalization implies a generalization of the periodic table including any continuous and smooth transformation between two chemical elements.
