Authors: Setyawan Dedy Dwi , Mustadi Ali
Published: January 2021

The condition of the students’ critical thinking skills in the Kowangbinangun State Elementary School has impacted their learning results. Departing from this situation, a study for improving the students’ critical thinking skills and learning results by using hidrorium as the media should be conducted. Within the conduct of the study, the approach that had been adopted was the classroom action research. Then, the instruments that had been implemented were the test instrument, namely the test items for measuring the achievement of the students’ learning results, and the non-test instrument, namely the assignment assessment rubric for measuring the students’ critical thinking skills level. Furthermore, the data analysis method that had been adopted was the descriptive-comparativee method. Within the first cycle, 4% of the students belonged to the “Very High” category, 14% of the students belonged to the “High” category, and 82% of the students belonged to the “Low” category; as a result, 33% of the students met the passing grade while 67% of the students did not meet the passing grade. The research in the first cycle improved the students’ critical thinking skills and thus 14% of the students belonged to the “Very High” category, 57% of the students belonged to the “High” category, and 29% of the students belonged to the “Low” category. Following up the improvement, the learning results of the students showed that 64% of the students met the passing grade whereas 36% of the students did not meet the passing grade. In the second cycle, the students’ critical thinking skills also improved since 86% of the students belonged to the “Very High” category and 14% of the students belonged to the “High” category. Thus, the students’ learning results improved as well with 82% of the students met the passing grade and 18% of the students did not meet the passing grade.

The Robot Does Not Exist: Remixing Psychic Automatism and Artificial Creative Intelligence
Authors: Amerika Mark , Hyunjhee Kim Laura , Gallagher Brad
Published: January 2021

In the just-published Remixing Persona: An Imaginary Digital Media Object from the Onto-Tales of the Digital Afterlife, artists Mark Amerika and Laura Hyunjhee Kim perform as MALK, a new media remix band that ruminates on the post-digital life of the traditional scholarly book. Working against the concept of an e-book, the publication includes an original music video titled the Digital Afterlife as well as a downloadable PDF that the artists refer to as an imaginary digital media object (IDMO). The work has been released as the inaugural publication in the new MEDIA : ART : WRITE : NOW series with Open Humanities Press.
For this special issue of Media-N, MALK proposes their next IDMO track by focusing on the relationship between AI-generated forms of remix and artist-generated forms of psychic automatism. The experiment will start with the artists improvising a cluster of hand-drawn charts that conceptually blend their musings on what they refer to as “future forms of artificial creative intelligence.” The language in these charts will then serve as source material to input into an advanced Generative Pre-trained Transformer to trigger source material for a new music video and an adjoining PDF. Our question is whether the Generative Pre-trained Transformer as an advanced yet still essentially weak AI can co-write the artists’ IDMO as they address issues related to their research into psychic automatism and artificial creative intelligence.

Authors: Goltermann Janik , Emden Daniel , Leehr Elisabeth Johanna , Dohm Katharina , Redlich Ronny , Dannlowski Udo , Hahn Tim , Opel Nils
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Smartphone-based symptom monitoring has gained increased attention in psychiatric research as a cost-efficient tool for prospective and ecologically valid assessments based on participants’ self-reports. However, a meaningful interpretation of smartphone-based assessments requires knowledge about their psychometric properties, especially their validity.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study is to systematically investigate the validity of smartphone-administered assessments of self-reported affective symptoms using the Remote Monitoring Application in Psychiatry (ReMAP).

METHODS

The ReMAP app was distributed to 173 adult participants of ongoing, longitudinal psychiatric phenotyping studies, including healthy control participants, as well as patients with affective disorders and anxiety disorders; the mean age of the sample was 30.14 years (SD 11.92). The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and single-item mood and sleep information were assessed via the ReMAP app and validated with non–smartphone-based BDI scores and clinician-rated depression severity using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS).

RESULTS

We found overall high comparability between smartphone-based and non–smartphone-based BDI scores (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.921; P<.001). Smartphone-based BDI scores further correlated with non–smartphone-based HDRS ratings of depression severity in a subsample (r=0.783; P<.001; n=51). Higher agreement between smartphone-based and non–smartphone-based assessments was found among affective disorder patients as compared to healthy controls and anxiety disorder patients. Highly comparable agreement between delivery formats was found across age and gender groups. Similarly, smartphone-based single-item self-ratings of mood correlated with BDI sum scores (r=–0.538; P<.001; n=168), while smartphone-based single-item sleep duration correlated with the sleep item of the BDI (r=–0.310; P<.001; n=166).

CONCLUSIONS

These findings demonstrate that smartphone-based monitoring of depressive symptoms via the ReMAP app provides valid assessments of depressive symptomatology and, therefore, represents a useful tool for prospective digital phenotyping in affective disorder patients in clinical and research applications.
Acceptance of an Informational Antituberculosis Chatbot Among Korean Adults: Mixed Methods Research (Preprint)
Authors: Kim Agnes Jihae , Yang Jisun , Jang Yihyun , Baek Joon Sang
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious disease. Negative perceptions and insufficient knowledge have made its eradication difficult. Recently, mobile health care interventions, such as an anti-TB chatbot developed by the research team, have emerged in support of TB eradication programs. However, before the anti-TB chatbot is deployed, it is important to understand the factors that predict its acceptance by the population.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore the acceptance of an anti-TB chatbot that provides information about the disease and its treatment to people vulnerable to TB in South Korea. Thus, we are investigating the factors that predict technology acceptance through qualitative research based on the interviews of patients with TB and homeless facility personnel. We are then verifying the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and predicting the factors associated with the acceptance of the chatbot.

METHODS

In study 1, we conducted interviews with potential chatbot users to extract the factors that predict user acceptance and constructed a conceptual framework based on the TAM. In total, 16 interviews with patients with TB and one focus group interview with 10 experts on TB were conducted. In study 2, we conducted surveys of potential chatbot users to validate the extended TAM. Survey participants were recruited among late-stage patients in TB facilities and members of web-based communities sharing TB information. A total of 123 responses were collected.

RESULTS

The results indicate that perceived ease of use and social influence were significantly predictive of perceived usefulness (P=.04 and P<.001, respectively). Perceived usefulness was predictive of the attitude toward the chatbot (P<.001), whereas perceived ease of use (P=.88) was not. Behavioral intention was positively predicted by attitude toward the chatbot and facilitating conditions (P<.001 and P=.03, respectively). The research model explained 55.4% of the variance in the use of anti-TB chatbots. The moderating effect of TB history was found in the relationship between attitude toward the chatbot and behavioral intention (P=.01) and between facilitating conditions and behavioral intention (P=.02).

CONCLUSIONS

This study can be used to inform future design of anti-TB chatbots and highlight the importance of services and the environment that empower people to use the technology.

Authors: Leung Ricky , Cao Xuemei , Song James
Published: January 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

The broader impact of this I-Corps project is to provide insight to support pain management with minimal intervention. The envisioned system uses off-the-shelf mobile and wearable devices already available as consumer devices to minimize costs to the consumer, recording pain episodes, sleep patterns, and associated lifestyle factors impacting pain management. Furthermore, it will enable communication between patients and health care providers so they can jointly identify effective treatment regimens to manage pain and reduce health care costs. It is anticipated that this will have particular value for shoulder, back and other musculoskeletal pains.

This I-Corps project draws on artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning algorithms to help patients record their pain episodes, sleep and exercise patterns, and related activities. The research on which this project is based has shown that mobile and wearable devices are able to utilize sensors, including accelerometers, high-definition cameras, gyroscopes, thermometers and other environmental sensors, to collect diverse data and produce intelligent deep learning algorithms. Additional studies suggest that healthy lifestyles and alternative treatments impact reduced use of prescription drugs. The technology in this project provides an infrastructure for patients to collect their own data securely. Patients and health providers can access these data through an internet-based platform to analyze factors such as: 1) patient sleep patterns, exercises and similar activities; 2) frequency and severity of pain episodes; and 3) treatment effectiveness. The technology will serve as a technological infrastructure for patients to manage chronic pain intelligently. It also will support the development of related smart and connected health applications.

Authors: Diao Xiaolin , Xu Xinyi , Huo Yanni , Yan Zhanzheng , Wang Haibin , Yuan Jing , Ji Hongwen , Zhao Wei
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Blood transfusion was related to postoperative adverse events and increased medical costs in patients underwent cardiovascular surgery. Predicting transfusion risk or major bleeding risk will help reduce transfusion. Machine learning (ML) methods show good performance at predicting risk, but transfusion risk prediction based on ML models among Chinese population were unavailable.

OBJECTIVE

To establish and validate prediction models using ML methods for perioperative transfusion risk of patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery in the Chinese population.

METHODS

Analysis was performed using electronic medical records from patients underwent cardiovascular surgery in Fuwai hospital between January 1, 2016 and June 30, 2019. Based on the 66402 unique patients, a retrospective cohort (N=61892) and a prospective cohort (N=4510) were formed for model derivation and validation. Four ML algorithms including eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), random forest, naive Bayes, logistic regression with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were adopted using 10-folds cross-validation to build prediction models of perioperative blood, red blood cell, plasma and platelet transfusion. According to the model evaluation in the validation cohort, the optimal perioperative blood transfusion prediction model was selected to compare with the Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthetists perioperative risk of blood transfusion score (the ACTA-PORT score) established in previous research.

RESULTS

Among ML models, the XGBoost(area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve[AUC]:0.823; 95% confidence interval[CI]: 0.810 to 0.836) outperformed other models for perioperative blood transfusion and showed better prediction ability than ACTA-PORT score (AUC:0.690; 95% CI: 0.673 to 0.707; P<.001) in the validation cohort. While ML prediction models for perioperative red blood cell transfusion, plasma transfusion and platelet transfusion, achieving good model performance as AUC levels were 0.836(95% CI: 0.823 to 0.849), 0.766(95% CI: 0.745 to 0.787) and 0.948(95% CI: 0.937 to 0.959) respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

The study retrospectively developed and prospectively validated discriminative perioperative transfusion prediction models, which may promote the early warning and intervention against perioperative transfusion, and benefit patient blood management.

Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

The use of Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) for individual patient management within clinical practice is becoming increasingly important. However, there is no consensus on which graphic visualization format of PRO scores is most suitable.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review evaluated evidence for graphic visualization of PROs in clinical practice for patients and clinicians, including preferences, interpretation accuracy, and guidance for clinical interpretation of PRO scores.

METHODS

We extracted studies published between 2000 and 2020 from CINAHL, PubMed, PsychInfo and Medline. Studies included patients ≥18 years old from daily clinical practice. Papers not available in English, without full-text access or that did not specifically describe PRO visualization were excluded. Outcome measures were: visualization preferences; interpretation accuracy; guidance for clinical interpretation.

RESULTS

We included 26 out of 789 papers for final analysis. Most frequently studied formats were: bar charts, line graphs and pie charts. Patients preferred bar charts and line graphs as these were easy and quick for retrieving information about their PRO scores over time. Clinicians’ interpretation accuracy was similar among graph formats. Scores were most often compared with patients’ own previous scores; to guide clinical interpretation, scores were compared to norm population scores. Different add-ons improved graph interpretability for patients and clinicians, e.g. using colors, descriptions of measurement scale directionality, descriptive labels and brief definitions.

CONCLUSIONS

Although we found no predominant format for graphic visualization of PRO scores, straightforward formats like bar charts and line graphs were preferred by both patients and clinicians. Additionally, detailed clarification of graph content is essential.
Understanding Online Conversation about COVID-19 Vaccine on Twitter: Data Mining Approach (Preprint)
Authors: Malova Ekaterina
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Timely vaccination against COVID-19 can prevent a large number of people from getting infected. However, given the disease novelty and fast vaccine development, some people are hesitant to vaccinate. Online social networks like Twitter produce huge amounts of public health information and impact peoples' vaccination decisions. Hence, it is important to understand the conversation around the COVID-19 vaccination through the lens of social media.

OBJECTIVE

The present study aimed to define the nature of a larger Twitter conversation around the COVID-19 vaccine and explored interaction patterns between Twitter users engaged in such a conversation.

METHODS

Data collection took place in November 2020 on the wave of the news about the COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough. In total, 9600 Twitter posts were analyzed using a combination of text and network analysis.

RESULTS

Results of this study show that mixed-emotions reactions and discussions about potential side effects and vaccine safety dominated the online conversation. Twitter was primarily used for two purposes: information dissemination and opinion expression. Overall, the communication network was sparse, non-reciprocal, decentralized, and highly modular. Four main network clusters highlighted different groups of conversation stakeholders.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides important insights into public sentiments, information-seeking behaviors, and online communication patterns during a major COVID-19 crisis. Given the popularity of Twitter among different types of communities and its power for rapid information dissemination, it can be an effective tool for vaccination promotion. Thus, it should be actively used to promote safe and effective vaccination through major stakeholders in the government, science, and health sectors.
Transitioning to Web-Based Learning in Basic Life Support Training During the COVID-19 Pandemic to Battle the Fear of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Presentation of Novel Methods (Preprint)
Authors: Naylor Katarzyna , Torres Kamil
Published: January 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

Ongoing training in the area of basic life support aims to encourage and sustain the willingness to act in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest situations among first aiders. The contribution of witnesses and first aiders has diminished rapidly, as suspicion associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has risen. In this paper, we present teaching methods from the medical education field to create a new teaching-learning process for sustaining the prehospital involvement of first aiders and encourage new first aiders. The most important benefit—improving outcomes—can be achieved by introducing a variety of teaching-learning methods and formative assessments that provide participants with immediate feedback to help them move forward in the basic life support course. The new reality of web-based learning that has been introduced by the pandemic requires an innovative approach to traditional training that involves techniques and methods that have been proven to be useful in other fields.

Published: January 2021

In a southeastern state, Grade 7 and 8 middle school general education teachers were not implementing cultural and individual instructional strategies consistently to support the academic achievement of the growing population of English Language Learners (ELLs). The purpose and key research questions of this qualitative study were designed to (a) identify what cultural relevant instructional strategies Grades 7 and 8 middle school general education teachers implement, (b) identify what individual relevant instructional strategies, and (c) understand what perceptions teachers have regarding strategies to facilitate consistent implementation of cultural and individual instruction to support ELLs. The nine participants were middle school (i.e., Grade 7 and 8) general education teachers from a school district in a southeastern state. Data were gathered through semistructured interviews and the themes included teachers’ beliefs in their abilities to provide consistent instruction to support ELLs, use of varied individual instructional strategies to support ELLs, use of varied cultural instructional strategies to support the needs of ELLs, and their want of preparation and relevant professional development to instruct ELLs. The findings have implications for positive social change, including identifying areas where professional development and focused instruction on the cultural and individual needs of ELLs increase teachers’ knowledge, skills, consistency, and perceived ability to support ELLs in the local school district.

Tiempo e historia: esbozos de la interpretación de Heidegger sobre la Segunda consideración intempestiva de Nietzsche
Authors: Montes Jiménez Sandra Lucía
Published: January 2021

Presentamos algunas directrices de la Interpretación de Heidegger sobre la Segunda consideración intempestiva de Nietzsche, tejiendo lazos entre la confrontación de Heidegger planteada en Ser y tiempo y este pensar de las “ventajas” e “inconvenientes” del saber histórico “para la vida”, de la vida que demanda olvido y la vida que se recobra como recuerdo o “traer o retener en la memoria”, o un “pensar-en” [An-denken] que se acuerda de su destino. Desde los planteamientos de ambos pensadores, buscamos entablar acuerdos y confrontaciones que nos conduzcan a pensar los “síntomas” de un exceso de “conocimiento histórico” que padece una época o una comunidad, y cuestionar las remisiones de la ausencia de una experiencia histórica o de un “olvido del ser”, así como el desprendimiento del sentido originario de la temporalidad. En este sentido, nuestro objetivo central está en entablar un diálogo con la elucidación del tiempo originario que tanto Nietzsche como Heidegger desembozan para interrogar por un sentido del tiempo que se interna en la consideración histórica. Asimismo, buscamos traer a cuenta los motivos significativos de la obra de Nietzsche que impulsan a Heidegger a manifestar otra captación del fenómeno histórico que se desplegará como “meditación” del acaecer-apropiador de la historia misma. Para corresponder a la perspectiva de la pertenencia de la historia a la vida, revisaremos la confrontación con los temas arraigados y motrices de Ser y tiempo, esto, para demandar si, efectivamente, se entabla la discusión —en la obra de Nietzsche— entre la referencia del hombre como histórico y el animal como no-histórico. Además, si la “animalidad” puede ser llevada y asumida como base fundamental que delimita la esencia del hombre, como animal rational en la enmarcación de “un destino histórico occidental”.

El pragmatismo ambiental: una propuesta ética ambiental frente al cambio climático
Authors: Salazar Ortiz Victor Hugo
Published: January 2021

Este artículo se divide en tres partes. En la primera se revisa cuál es el origen de la ética ambiental y cómo se fue ampliando para conseguir una transición de la acotada visión antropocéntrica hacia una más amplia que integrara en sus criterios axiológicos a todos los seres vivos (éticas biocéntricas) y a los ecosistemas (éticas ecocéntricas), además desde ópticas muy particulares como la de la Ecología profunda y el ecofeminismo. Posteriormente, revisaremos cómo surge el pragmatismo ambiental, resultado de un trabajo crítico respecto al poco alcance social y político de la ética ambiental en sus primeras dos décadas. En la segunda parte se revisa el origen del estudio del cambio climático, el negacionismo climático y el impacto de los combustibles fósiles en el medio ambiente, ante lo cual se propone emplear los criterios del pragmatismo ambiental para frenar su incremento. En la tercera parte se comenta el pobre avance que se ha tenido en las cumbres climáticas para frenar el cambio climático y cómo este objetivo debe convertirse en la base para la construcción de un bien público.

Los sistemas de gestión de bases de datos (SGBD) relacionales tienen una gran utilidad en el almacenamiento eficiente de grandes volúmenes de datos. En este sentido, se han propuesto algunas extensiones de los SGBD basadas en la lógica difusa, para mejorar la expresividad de los lenguajes de consulta, entre ellos, el lenguaje SQLf (extensión de SQL que soporta condiciones difusas). Por otra parte, el Group-By es un operador de base de datos ampliamente utilizado en el análisis de datos y en los sistemas de apoyo a la toma de decisiones. En muchos casos, parece útil agrupar los valores según su similitud con un determinado concepto en lugar de establecer la agrupación sobre la base de valores iguales. En este contexto, se ha propuesto una nueva estructura de SQLf denominada Fuzzy Group By (FGB), para apoyar una agrupación basada en particiones difusas. En este trabajo, se incorporó la agrupación difusa en PostgreSQLf, que es una extensión del SGBD PostgreSQL, para el manejo de consultas difusas utilizando el lenguaje SQLf con una arquitectura fuertemente acoplada (directamente en el SGBD). Se pronone un algoritmo basado en un hash para evaluar el operador FGB y también se evalúa empíricamente el rendimiento de PostgreSQLf sobre el Benchmark™ TPC-H.

Published: January 2021

The analysis of relevant and significant scientific research on the physiological and biochemical aspects of ketosis, and the main mechanisms of influence on reproductive function in this metabolic pathology is presented. Strengthening breeding potential and creating conditions for its implementation through modern feeding and maintenance technologies led to the spread of diseases of non-communicable etiology, including ketosis diseases. Ketotic diseases cause various disorders in carbohydrate-lipid, protein, water-electrolyte and vitamin-mineral metabolism. The monitoring of studies on the biological role of ketosis showed its effect on animal fertility, quality of female gametes and fetal development. When considering ketosis, it is important to understand precisely the mechanisms of influence, since many methods for diagnosing and combating ketosis diseases are based on their knowledge. The key mechanisms of ketone bodies formation, the reasons for increase in their concentration were considered. It is of great practical importance for development of diagnostic tests that make it possible to determine the direction of disturbances in energy and plastic processes. Based on the data presented in the studies, conclusions were drawn about the role of -hydroxybutyric acid as a direct factor in reducing the reproductive function of Bos taurus .

A father has taken very important role in his children's life. The involvement of a father in the life of his child could considerably help his child’s growth in education. Therefore, a father should not put his responsibility in educating children on to his wife’s shoulder (to the mother) only, by having the reason that he is quite busy with his works.  Simultaneously, the school has a great opportunity to help the child’s father to be involved in early childhood education.

The formation process of the Crimean Tatar theater can be divided into the following periods: medieval – folk theater (the initial round dance and toy puppet theater of shadows “Karagoz”, the theater of one actor “meddah”, the arena theater “orta oyuny”); Khan`s theater in the middle of the XVIII century (penetration into the Crimea of European theater traditions in the era of the Crimean Khan Crym Girey I); the revival of traditions of the Crimean Tatar theater late XIX–XX centuries (the activities of a theater-goers group of the Jadidist Crimean Tatar youth–followers of I. Gasprinsky, under the leadership of J. Meinov – the efforts of the Crimean Tatar noblewoman-myrzachkas under the leadership of A. Taiganskaya; organization of a professional Simferopol Tatar theater troupe under the People’s Commissar of Education of the Crimean ASSR in 1921 and creation and activities of the Crimean Tatar Drama Theater, headed by A. Taigan, and the Crimean Tatar amateur movement in the Crimea, and among the Crimean Tatar foreign diaspora of 1923–1944 (Soviet pre-deportation period); recreation and current activities of the Crimean Tatar theater in the Crimea,1989 (post deportation period). In this article, for the first time in the art history, is revealed the so-called Khan`s period in the formation of the Crimean Tatar theater, discussed the revolutionary activity in the field of Crimean Tatar art, the ascetic activity of the Crimean Khan Crym Girey I to promote the ideas of European theater traditions and create a classical theater in the Crimea. The picture of the actions undertaken by the Crimean ruler in the construction of theater business in the Crimea, as well as his thoughts and statements about the theater, was recreated according to the text published in the XVIII century, memories of personal meetings and conversations with Crym Girey I of European authors: German – von der Goltz, Polish – Pilshtynova, Russian – Nikiforov, Frenchman – de Tott, Austrian – Kleeman. Based on these recollections is built a clear and explicit picture of a role of Crym Girey I as a pioneer in bringing European theater traditions and creation of a classical theater in the culture of the Crimea, the Turkic and Muslim worlds.

Quantitative decision making in animal health surveillance: Bovine Tuberculosis Surveillance in Belgium as case study
Authors: Welby Sarah , Cargnel Mickael , Saegerman Claude
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Despite eradication and control measures applied across
Europe, bovine tuberculosis (bTB) remains a constant threat. In Belgium,
after several years of bTB disease freedom status, routine movement
testing, as currently practiced, revealed itself inadequate to detect
some sporadic breakdown herds. The aim of this study was to strike the
balance between cost and effectiveness of different surveillance system
components to identify sustainable alternatives for early detection and
substantiation of freedom of bTB while maintaining acceptance of these
amongst the different animal health stakeholders. Methods: Stochastic
iteration model was built to simulate, first, the expected current
surveillance system performance in terms of sensitivity and specificity
of detection. These results were then descriptively compared to observed
field results. Secondly, the cost and effectiveness of simulated
alternative surveillance components were quantified. To measure impact
of key assumptions (i.e. regarding diagnostic tests and true
prevalence), sensitivity analysis was performed. Results: Discrepancies
between the predicted and observed performance of bTB surveillance in
Belgium were observed. Secondly, simulated alternatives revealed that
targeted IFN-γ as well serological testing with Antibody ELISA towards
risk herds would enable increasing the overall cost and effectiveness of
the Belgian bTB surveillance system. Sensitivity analysis showed that
results remained constant despite modification of some key assumptions.
Discussion: Performance of current bTB surveillance system performance
in Belgium was questionable. This exercise highlighted that not only
sensitivity, but specificity is a key driver for surveillance
performance. The quantitative and participative conceptual framework
revealed itself a useful tool to allow evidence-based decision making
regarding future tuberculosis surveillance in Belgium, as required by
the international standards.
