Authors: Smayda Kirsten Elisabeth , Cooper Sarah Hodsdon , Leyden Katie , Ulaszek Jackie , Ferko Nicole , Dobrin Annamaria
Published: November 2023

Background

Persistent walking impairment following a stroke is common. Although rehabilitative interventions exist, few exist for use at home in the chronic phase of stroke recovery. InTandem (MedRhythms, Inc) is a neurorehabilitation system intended to improve walking and community ambulation in adults with chronic stroke walking impairment.

Objective

Using design best practices and human factors engineering principles, the research presented here was conducted to validate the safe and effective use of InTandem.

Methods

In total, 15 participants in the chronic phase of stroke recovery (≥6 months after stroke) participated in this validation study. Participants were scored on 8 simulated use tasks, 4 knowledge assessments, and 7 comprehension assessments in a simulated home environment. The number and types of use errors, close calls, and operational difficulties were evaluated. Analyses of task performances, participant behaviors, and follow-up interviews were conducted to determine the root cause of use errors and difficulties.

Results

During this validation study, 93% (14/15) of participants were able to successfully complete the critical tasks associated with the simulated use of the InTandem system. Following simulated use task assessments, participants’ knowledge and comprehension of the instructions for use and key safety information were evaluated. Overall, participants were able to find and correctly interpret information in the materials in order to answer the knowledge assessment questions. During the comprehension assessment, participants understood warning statements associated with critical tasks presented in the instructions for use. Across the entire study, 3 “use errors” and 1 “success with difficulty” were recorded. No adverse events, including slips, trips, or falls, occurred in this study.

Conclusions

In this validation study, people in the chronic phase of stroke recovery were able to safely and effectively use InTandem in the intended use environment. This validation study contributes to the overall understanding of residual use–related risks of InTandem in consideration of the established benefits.

Authors: Odabashian Roupen , Bastin Donald , Jones Georden , Manzoor Maria , Tangestaniapour Sina , Assad Malke , Lakhani Sunita , Odabashian Maritsa , McGee Sharon
Published: November 2023

Background

ChatGPT (Open AI) is a state-of-the-art large language model that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to address questions across diverse topics. The American Society of Clinical Oncology Self-Evaluation Program (ASCO-SEP) created a comprehensive educational program to help physicians keep up to date with the many rapid advances in the field. The question bank consists of multiple choice questions addressing the many facets of cancer care, including diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care. As ChatGPT applications rapidly expand, it becomes vital to ascertain if the knowledge of ChatGPT-3.5 matches the established standards that oncologists are recommended to follow.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate whether ChatGPT-3.5’s knowledge aligns with the established benchmarks that oncologists are expected to adhere to. This will furnish us with a deeper understanding of the potential applications of this tool as a support for clinical decision-making.

Methods

We conducted a systematic assessment of the performance of ChatGPT-3.5 on the ASCO-SEP, the leading educational and assessment tool for medical oncologists in training and practice. Over 1000 multiple choice questions covering the spectrum of cancer care were extracted. Questions were categorized by cancer type or discipline, with subcategorization as treatment, diagnosis, or other. Answers were scored as correct if ChatGPT-3.5 selected the answer as defined by ASCO-SEP.

Results

Overall, ChatGPT-3.5 achieved a score of 56.1% (583/1040) for the correct answers provided. The program demonstrated varying levels of accuracy across cancer types or disciplines. The highest accuracy was observed in questions related to developmental therapeutics (8/10; 80% correct), while the lowest accuracy was observed in questions related to gastrointestinal cancer (102/209; 48.8% correct). There was no significant difference in the program’s performance across the predefined subcategories of diagnosis, treatment, and other (P=.16, which is greater than .05).

Conclusions

This study evaluated ChatGPT-3.5’s oncology knowledge using the ASCO-SEP, aiming to address uncertainties regarding AI tools like ChatGPT in clinical decision-making. Our findings suggest that while ChatGPT-3.5 offers a hopeful outlook for AI in oncology, its present performance in ASCO-SEP tests necessitates further refinement to reach the requisite competency levels. Future assessments could explore ChatGPT’s clinical decision support capabilities with real-world clinical scenarios, its ease of integration into medical workflows, and its potential to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and patient engagement in health care settings.

Authors: Choi JiYeon , Choi Seongmi , Song Kijun , Baek Jiwon , Kim Heejung , Choi Mona , Kim Yesol , Chu Sang Hui , Shin Jiyoung
Published: November 2023

Background

The need for digital literacy in aging populations is increasing in the digitalizing society. Digital literacy involves the identification, evaluation, and communication of information through various digital devices or relevant programs.

Objective

The aims of this study were to develop an Everyday Digital Literacy Questionnaire (EDLQ), a digital literacy assessment scale, and subsequently evaluate its psychometric properties using a population of community-dwelling older adults in South Korea.

Methods

The EDLQ was developed using an instrument development design. A nationwide survey was conducted, and the study included 1016 community-dwelling older adults (age ≥60 years). To evaluate the psychometric properties, the participants were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=508 each), and the internal consistency (Cronbach α and McDonald ω), structural validity (exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis), hypothesis-testing construct validity using the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), and measurement invariance were analyzed.

Results

Among the initial 30 items of the EDLQ, 22 items with a 3-factor solution had a total explained variance of 77%. The domains included “information and communication” (9 items), “content creation and management” (4 items), and “safety and security” (9 items). Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with this 3-factor solution (χ2206=345.1; normed χ2206=1.7; comparative fit index=0.997; Tucker-Lewis index=0.997; root-mean-square error of approximation=0.036; standardized root-mean-square residual=0.050; composite reliability=0.903-0.959; average variance extracted=0.699-0.724; R2=0.616-0.773). Hypothesis-testing construct validity with the eHEALS revealed a strong correlation (r=0.75). Cronbach α and McDonald ω coefficients were .98 and 0.98, respectively. The fit indices for measurement invariance, including the configural, metric, and scalar invariance models, demonstrated a satisfactory fit to the data. Our findings suggest that the psychometric properties of the 22-item EDLQ are valid and reliable for assessing digital literacy among older Korean adults.

Conclusions

In this study, we developed a digital literacy measure with strong psychometric properties that made it suitable for assessing the digital literacy of community-dwelling older adults in Korea. To broaden its applicability, however, further assessment of its feasibility for use with different languages and cultures is necessary. Moreover, more empirical research on digital literacy and related factors in older adults can facilitate the development of personalized digital health care services and educational interventions in the digital society.
An Inclusive Social Health Insurance for People with Disabilities in Three Southeast Asia Countries: A Systematic Review
Authors: Abdallah Kafaa Kafa , Nurhadi Nurhadi
Published: November 2023

This article examines how inclusiveness is implemented for People with Disabilities (PWDs) in social health insurance programs in Southeast Asia by focusing on the National Health Insurance (NHI) in Indonesia, the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) in the Philippines, and Social Health Insurance (SHI) in Vietnam. The concept of inclusive social insurance for PWDs is used as an analytical tool to explore inclusivity criteria, such as target specifications, service benefits, multi-stakeholder involvement, service functions, and the program's impact. Drawing on the qualitative systematic review method, which refers to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), PRISMA Protocols 2015, and evidence-based guidelines, this article analyzes 25 selected pieces of literature. The results of the study show that: First, there are no special schemes and mechanisms in those programs that target PWDs directly and specifically. Second, those programs have not been able to meet the specific health needs of PWDs. Third, the implementation of those programs has involved three stakeholder actors: the state, the private sector, and NGOs. Fourth, those programs have not shown a significant impact on improving the health quality of PWDs. Finally, it can be concluded that the three programs are not yet truly inclusive in covering PWDs in social health insurance programs.
Mistaking the Terrestrial slum for the Celestial City: A Reading of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Celestial Railroad”
Authors: Ndah Nyaa Hans
Published: November 2023

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s allegory “The Celestial Railroad” depicts an American society in which morality and spirituality have been relegated to the background. We set out in this study to critically analyse how Hawthorne in this short story depicts the alarming extent to which terrestrial distractions especially in this modern age of industry, innovation and capitalism have instead derailed many Christians from the celestial city to the terrestrial slums of perdition, misery and destruction.  The qualitative approach was used to analyse the data collected for this study. This paper is based on the hypothesis that the quest for pleasure and the advent of industrial and technological development have drifted the Christian further away from the path of salvation as depicted in Hawthorne’s “The Celestial Railroad.” New Historicism was the theoretical lens employed for this research endeavour. This study revealed that, Hawthorne’s “The Celestial Railroad” is even more relevant in the 21st century due to the alarming extent to which Christian ideals have been violated, much more than what obtained when the story was published.

Authors: Qian Jiali , Wang Kun , Sun Kaihong
Published: November 2023

Competitive sports shape character and moral development, but views differ on the impact of excessive competitiveness on sports ethics. We used an integrated and microlevel approach to examine the relationships among the achievement goals, social goals, and sports ethics of 268 young
Chinese athletes. Results of a self-evaluation survey showed that task orientation was positively associated with respect for social conventions as well as respect for rules and officials, and was negatively associated with instrumental aggression. Ego orientation was negatively associated
with respect for social conventions, respect for rules and officials, and respect for opponents. Social affiliation was positively associated with respect for social conventions, respect for rules and officials, and respect for opponents. Social status was negatively associated with respect
for rules and officials, and positively associated with instrumental aggression. Finally, social recognition was negatively associated with respect for social conventions and respect for opponents. Our findings provide insight into the mechanistic motivations behind ethical behaviors, offering
theoretical guidance for promoting sports ethics among young athletes.

Authors: Chernysh Vladimir F. , Kovalevsky Alexander M. , Bokarev Mikhail A. , Lopatin Stanislav A.
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE. Analyze the causes and conditions for chronic generalized periodontitis, study means of preventive health care through individual oral hygiene.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study analyzed the scientific literature, devoted to casual factors and conditions of developing chronic generalized periodontitis, its influence on the health of the body and as well as the role of oral hygiene in preventing its onset and progression. Articles in leading domestic dental peer-reviewed publications along with data sources from Pubmed over the past 5 years were analyzed.

RESULTS. The literature analysis found that majority of authors acknowledge microbial biofilm microbiota of the oral cavity as the leading etiological factor of periodontitis; such factors as poor oral hygiene, endogenous and exogenous erythrocyte sorption overload, the impact of physical environmental factors – external electromagnetic fields and vibrations affect the progression of the disease. Meanwhile, measures of professional oral hygiene и normalization of individual oral hygiene allows to significantly reduce the risk of emerging and progressing chronic generalized periodontitis.

DISCUSSION. By category visits patients, suffering from CGP, were distributed as follows: 61,6 ± 0,7 % people – retirees of Russian Defense Ministry, 16,5 ± 0,5 % people – family members of military men and retired of RDM, 16,3 ± 0,5 % – military men, attached to the dentistry clinic of RDM military units and institutions, 5,7 ± 0,3 % – RMD cadets. Means of individual oral hygiene, relevant for the prevention of periodontitis, include about 15 items. Part of them are classified as traditional, and the proper application of some of them requires additional training, including in the framework of special medical training during hygiene education work and health promotion. The authors came to a conclusion about the expediency of increasing the number of dentists to intensify the prevention of dental caries and periodontal diseases among military men through professionally monitored oral hygiene.

CONCLUSION. The high prevalence and intensity of dental system diseases among military men shows the relevance of regular sanitation of their oral cavity. Systematic implementation of individual oral hygiene measures decreases the number of bacteria in the mouth, prevents the development of severe overall body response to inflammation, contributes to a significant reduction in the number of exacerbation of concomitant somatic diseases that improves overall health and people’s quality of life. Professionally monitored oral hygiene, oral hygiene education and motivation for applying modern hygiene products are considered as the basis of oral disease prevention.

Political Aspects of Digitalization and Networking of the State
Authors: Ivanov D. Yu. , Volkov V. A.
Published: November 2023

The digitalization of the state is the object of close scientific discourse, especially in terms of the implementation of administrative reforms and the description of the storyline of the formation and development of new tools and forms in modern public administration. A meaningful analysis of an extensive layer of scientific publications shows that the digitalization of the state has acquired a mostly problematic connotation. It is worth fixing a significant lack of theoretical research regarding the comprehension and comparative analysis of international experience, as well as identifying trends in the development of state digitalization processes, which allow finding the keys to the most complete study of this phenomenon in the public administration system.

   The purpose of the article is to answer the question about the role, factors and trends of digitalization of the state in the context of international and Russian experience.

   Based on the conceptualization of the new public management, the authors analyze how exactly the phenomenon of digitalization is built into the modern model of political governance and what forms and characteristics it acquires. As a result, it is proposed to focus the attention of researchers on the institutional nature of the digitalization of the state, since it is political institutions that are the sources, mediators and main beneficiaries of digitalization processes.

Authors: Khlutkov A. D. , Mezhevich N. M.
Published: November 2023

Saint Petersburg is the second largest and most important city in Russia, which is in a seaside and border situation. Its peculiarity is that, unlike Sevastopol — also a city of federal subordination, it is a complex collection of municipalities of different status. The multilevel strategies of the federal, regional and local level are a logical phenomenon from the point of view of theory, but very problematic for practical implementation. Abandoning strategic planning in the face of uncertainty is a gross managerial error. Adjustment of the municipal structure of St. Petersburg is not a fundamental problem, since it belongs to the competence of the authorities of the subject of the federation.

A compact rectangular waveguide TE10 to TE20 mode converter with coplanar and codirectional configuration
Authors: Deng Guangjian , Xie Shao yi , Liu Changkun , Zhao Juan
Published: November 2023

A compact rectangular waveguide TE10 to TE20 mode converter is proposed
in this paper. It consists of a dominant mode waveguide and an overmoded
waveguide connected with coplanar and codirectional configuration to
promise a compact cross section. A septum is inserted into the overmoded
waveguide to divide it into two channels. The converter utilizes a
Riblet-hybrid-like structure and two humps inserted in narrow walls of
each of the two channels. The inherent 90-degree phase of the hybrid
together with another 90-degree phase difference between the two
channesl created by the humps can realize half-wavelength phase relation
and excite TE20 mode. The cross section size of cavity structure of the
mode converter is about 1.52 λ ×0.61 λ at center frequency of 9.5 GHz.
Tested results demonstrate that within a fractional bandwidth of 3.3%,
the mode conversion efficiency is better than 97.7% with a return loss
of larger than 20 dB. The peak power capacity is larger than 470 kW at
common air condition.

Authors: Shehu Yekini , Cholamjiak W , Yao Jen-Chih
Published: November 2023

This paper studies new accelerated optimization algorithms and applied
the algorithms to prediction of breast cancer through machine learning
approach. To do this, we first introduce new fast CQ algorithms and
obtain weak convergence results. In one of our proposed algorithms
(inertial-type CQ Algorithm), the inertial choice could be negative and
even greater than 1 with no on-line rule imposed in order to obtain
convergence results. This is a major improvement over other
inertial-type algorithms in the literature where inertial choices are
restrictive to [0 ,1) and on-line rule is imposed. Then we
validate the applicability of the proposed CQ algorithms to real-life
applications by predicting breast cancer by updating the optimal weight
in machine learning. We use the mammographic mass dataset from the UC
Irvine machine learning repository that is available on the UCI website
as a training set to show the superiority of our algorithms over
existing ones in the literature.

A two-step framework for validating causal effect estimates.
Authors: Shen Lingjie , Visser Erik , Erning Felice van , Geleijnse Gijs , Kaptein Maurits
Published: November 2023

Comparing causal effect estimates obtained using observational data to
those obtained from the gold standard (i.e., randomized controlled
trials, RCTs) helps us assess the validity of these estimates. However,
comparisons are challenging due to differences between observational
data and RCT generated data: First, the treatment assignment
mechanism is often unknown for observational data, and second, the
sampling mechanism often differs between the RCT and the
observational data. Differences in the treatment assignment mechanism
introduce potential confounding, whereas differences in the sampling
mechanism introduce sampling bias. This article proposes a two-step
framework for the validation of causal effect estimates obtained from
observational data by adjusting for both mechanisms. A simulation study
is conducted to show that our suggested two-step framework enables
observational data to produce causal effect estimates similar to those
of an RCT. An application of our approach to validate treatment effects
of adjuvant chemotherapy obtained from registry data is demonstrated.
This article establishes a novel framework for comparing causal effect
estimates between observational data and RCT data, facilitating the
assessment of the validity of causal effect estimates obtained from
observational data.
Transcriptome-wide N 6 -methyladenosine profiling of rice responding to brown planthopper ( Nilaparvata lugens ) infestation reveals growth–defense trade-offs

Published: November 2023

N-methyladenosine (m A) is
a common messenger RNA (mRNA) modification that affects diverse
physiological processes in stress responses. However, the role of m
A modification in plants coping with herbivore stress
remains unclear. Here we found that an infestation of brown planthopper
(BPH) Nilaparvata lugens female adults enhanced the rice
resistance to BPH. An m A methylome analysis of
BPH-infested and un-infested rice samples were measured to explore the
interaction between rice and BPH. m A methylation
occurs mainly in genes actively expressed in rice following BPH
infestation, while an analysis of the whole-genomic mRNA distribution of
m A showed that BPH infestation caused an overall
decrease in the number of m A methylation sites
across the chromosomes. Genes involved in components of the m
A modification machinery, BPH resistance, and several
defense-related (such as JA, SA and cellulose) pathways were heavily
methylated by m A in BPH-infested rice compared to
those in un-infested rice. In contrast, m A
modification levels of growth-related phytohormones (auxin and
gibberellin) biosynthesis-related genes were significantly attenuated
under BPH attack, accompanied by downregulated expression of these
transcripts, indicating that rice growth was restricted during BPH
attack to rapidly optimize resource allocation for plant defense.
Integrative analysis of the differential patterns of m
A methylation and the corresponding transcripts
showed a positive correlation between m A methylation
and transcriptional regulation. In conclusion, the process of m
A modification acts as an important strategy for
regulating expression of genes involved in rice defense and growth
during rice-BPH interaction.

Published: November 2023

The dielectric and optical properties of materials are important when creating biomedical prototypes utilising additive manufacturing or 3D printing. For high-frequency devices, characteristics such as dielectric constant, resistivity, and dielectric loss are used. Piezoelectric materials, such as polymer ceramic composites, have a significant impact on diagnostics and bone healing. 3D printed lenses and other metamaterial-based optical elements are employed in imaging and sensing applications incorporating polarisation and plasmonic characteristics.
Integrating a double cropping model with groundwater-fed irrigation in the North China Plain

Published: November 2023

Irrigated cultivation, as a prevalent anthropogenic activity, exerts a
significant influence on land use and land cover, resulting in notable
modifications to land-atmosphere interaction and the hydrological cycle.
Given the extensive cropland, high productivity, compact rotation,
semi-arid climate, intense irrigation, and groundwater depletion in the
North China Plain (NCP), the development of a comprehensive
crop-irrigation-groundwater model becomes imperative for understanding
agricultural-induced climate response in this region. This study
presents an integrated crop model explicitly tailored to the NCP, which
incorporates double-cropping rotation, irrigation practice, and
groundwater interactions into the regional climate model. The
modifications are implemented to: (1) enable a seamless transition from
field scale application to regional scale application, facilitating the
incorporation of spatial variability, (2) capture the distinctive
attributes of the NCP region, ensuring the model accurately reflects its
unique characteristics, and (3) reinforce the direct interaction among
crop-related variables, thereby enhancing the model’s capacity to
simulate their dynamic behaviors. The integrated crop modeling system
demonstrates a commendable performance in crop simulations using
climatic conditions, which is substantiated by its identification of
crop stages, estimation of field biomass, prediction of crop yield, and
finally the projection of monthly leaf area index. In our next phase,
this integrated crop modeling system will be employed in long-term
simulations to enhance our understanding of the intricate relationship
between agricultural development and climate change.

Characterizing climate change impacts on water resources typically
relies on Global Climate Model (GCM) outputs that are bias-corrected
using observational datasets. In this process, two pivotal decisions are
(i) the Bias Correction Method (BCM) and (ii) how to handle the
historically observed time series, which can be used as a continuous
whole (i.e., without dividing it into sub-periods), or partitioned into
monthly, seasonal (e.g., three months), or any other temporal
stratification (TS). Here, we examine how the interplay between the
choice of BCM, TS, and the raw GCM seasonality may affect historical
portrayals and projected changes. To this end, we use outputs from 29
GCMs belonging to the CMIP6 under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway
5–8.5 scenario, using seven BCMs and three TSs (entire period,
seasonal, and monthly). The results show that the effectiveness of BCMs
in removing biases can vary depending on the TS and climate indices
analyzed. Further, the choice of BCM and TS may yield different
projected change signals and seasonality (especially for precipitation),
even for climate models with low bias and a reasonable representation of
precipitation seasonality during a reference period. Because some BCMs
may be computationally expensive, we recommend using the linear scaling
method as a diagnostics tool to assess how the choice of TS may affect
the projected precipitation seasonality of a specific GCM. More
generally, the results presented here unveil trade-offs in the way BCMs
are applied, regardless of the climate regime, urging the hydroclimate
community for a careful implementation of these techniques.

The article provides an assessment of climatic characteristics and changes in floodplain soils after the implementation of a drainage system. The study was conducted in the northern forest-steppe zone of the East European Plain (Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia). Through the analysis of long-term meteorological observations from 1961 to 2020, it was found that there was a steady increase in air temperature in all months and throughout the year, an increase in the period with positive temperatures, a slight increase in annual precipitation, and a reduction in precipitation during certain months of the warm season. Over the past 40 years, the drainage system has transformed the soil cover from Gleysols to Anthrosols, due to a decrease in the level of groundwater, agricultural use, as well as warming of the climate in the region. Thus, the transformation of soil cover can potentially contribute to climate change through the depletion of soil organic carbon stocks and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, currently, the natural and climatic conditions, morphological, water-physical, and agrochemical properties of Anthrosols allow for the production of two harvests of fodder crop (Bromus inermis L.) during the vegetation period. In general, the change in climatic indicators in the study area is consistent with the global trend. Our results underscore the sensitivity of soil systems to climatic variations and human activities, highlighting the need for local studies to understand regional and global environmental changes.

The present study was carried out at the instructional farm, College of Agriculture, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Farm Gate, Kalna Road, Burdwan Sadar, West Bengal, India for successive 2 terms of crop during kharif (June to September, 2020) and rabi (December to March, 2020–21). The bio-efficacy of some chemicals (Cyantraniliprole, Chlorantraniliprole, Emamectin benzoate, Flubendiamide, Spinosad, Emamectin benzoate, Broflanilide, Chlorfenapyr, Spinetoram and Teflubenzuron) and bio-pesticides (Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Azadirachtin and Steinernema sp.) were evaluated against Fall Army Worm (FAW) in corn at the field condition. The major parameters considered for comparing the treatments were based on percent reduction in larval population, leaf damage (%) followed by headonic scoring (0–9 scale) and attack intensity (%). All the chemical insecticides except teflubenzuron resulted more or less higher percent population reduction of FAW larva (75.39–89.17%), lower leaf damage (20.13–31.21%) along with low damage score (1.45–1.95) and lower attack intensity (3.03–6.09%). All these effects were at moderate range in case of bio-pesticides.  Based on the present findings, better selection of suitable insecticides is possible to manage FAW in corn.

Increasing the efficiency of solar heat supply systems is one of the important problems of solar energy. The research presented in this article is aimed at improving the efficiency of hybrid solar collectors without a transparent coating for building heating systems. One of the key challenges in the field of solar energy is the development of new technologies to ensure high collection of solar energy and to integrate it into traditional heating and hot water systems. The study shows that hybrid solar collectors with the placement of heat carrier circulation circuit tubes above the heat absorber can increase the thermal efficiency factor with a certain change in the angle of inclination and the density of solar radiation. A nomogram was also developed that determines the dependence of this coefficient on the angles of arrival of solar radiation and its density.
