Authors: ÇALIŞIR İffet Nur , ALAN DİKMEN Hacer , MARAKOĞLU Kamile
Published: November 2021

Aim: To investigate the relationship between mothers’ traumatic birth perception and maternal attachment. Method: The data for this descriptive and correlational study was collected from 280 mothers of 1- to 6-month old babies who were treated at family health centers between January and March 2020. The study was completed with 280 mothers. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Maternal Attachment Scale (MAS), and the Traumatic Birth Perception Scale (TBPS). Data were evaluated by median, minimum-maximum values, Spearman correlation analysis, and Kruskal-Wallis analysis. Results: In our study, the median age of the mothers was 27 (17-41) years and the number of living children was 2 (0-6). Pregnancy was planned in 80.7% of the mothers, 97.1% had their pregnancy follow-ups regularly, 46.1% were attended by a midwife during delivery. We found that 71.8% of the mothers took their babies into their arms and 61.4% started their first breastfeeding in the first 30 minutes postpartum. The mothers' median score for MAS was 104 (74-104), and the median score for TBPS was 69.5 (0-130). In our study, there was no significant relationship between the mothers' MAS and TBPS median scores according to the correlation analysis result (r=-0.031, p=0.608). According to the TBPS, 34.6% of the mothers had a medium perception of traumatic birth. Conclusion: In our study, it was found that maternal attachment levels of the mothers were high and their perception of traumatic birth was medium. There was no significant relationship between the maternal attachment level of the mothers and their perception of traumatic birth. Accordingly, in future studies, maternal attachment level and perception of traumatic birth can be examined with larger sample groups.

Published: November 2021

Medico-social significance of osteoporosis is determined by the high frequency of low-traumatic fractures of bone. According to the European Vertebral Osteoporosis Study the prevalence of vertebral fractures was 11,5% in women of 50-54 years of age and reached 34.8% in women of 75-79. The only prospective population-based study conducted in Russia have showed that the incidence of new vertebral fractures was 5,9% in men and 9,9% in women over 50. Stratified epidemiologic study conducted in St. Petersburg, have showed that in men the peak of clinical fractures, developed with minimal trauma, was at the age of 20-24 and 65-69. In women the peak of fractures was determined at the ages 50-54 years. It has been suggested that early administration of antiosteoporotic drugs can effectively prevent vertebral and peripheral fractures.

Authors: Wang Chaofan , Jiang Weiwei , Yang Kangning , Yu Difeng , Newn Joshua , Sarsenbayeva Zhanna , Goncalves Jorge , Kostakos Vassilis
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways of preventing health care–associated infections and reducing their transmission. Owing to recent advances in sensing technologies, electronic hand hygiene monitoring systems have been integrated into the daily routines of health care workers to measure their hand hygiene compliance and quality.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to summarize the latest technologies adopted in electronic hand hygiene monitoring systems and discuss the capabilities and limitations of these systems.

METHODS

A systematic search of PubMed, ACM Digital Library, and IEEE Xplore Digital Library was performed following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Studies were initially screened and assessed independently by the 2 authors, and disagreements between them were further summarized and resolved by discussion with the senior author.

RESULTS

In total, 1035 publications were retrieved by the search queries; of the 1035 papers, 89 (8.60%) fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were retained for review. In summary, 73 studies used electronic monitoring systems to monitor hand hygiene compliance, including application-assisted direct observation (5/73, 7%), camera-assisted observation (10/73, 14%), sensor-assisted observation (29/73, 40%), and real-time locating system (32/73, 44%). A total of 21 studies evaluated hand hygiene quality, consisting of compliance with the World Health Organization 6-step hand hygiene techniques (14/21, 67%) and surface coverage or illumination reduction of fluorescent substances (7/21, 33%).

CONCLUSIONS

Electronic hand hygiene monitoring systems face issues of accuracy, data integration, privacy and confidentiality, usability, associated costs, and infrastructure improvements. Moreover, this review found that standardized measurement tools to evaluate system performance are lacking; thus, future research is needed to establish standardized metrics to measure system performance differences among electronic hand hygiene monitoring systems. Furthermore, with sensing technologies and algorithms continually advancing, more research is needed on their implementation to improve system performance and address other hand hygiene–related issues.
Oncology Patients’ Experiences With Novel Electronic Patient Portals to Support Care and Treatment: Qualitative Study With Early Users and Nonusers of Portals in Alberta, Canada (Preprint)
Authors: Santos Amanda D , Caine Vera , Robson Paula J , Watson Linda , Easaw Jacob C , Petrovskaya Olga
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

With the current proliferation of clinical information technologies internationally, patient portals are increasingly being adopted in health care. Research, conducted mostly in the United States, shows that oncology patients have a keen interest in portals to gain access to and track comprehensive personal health information. In Canada, patient portals are relatively new and research into their use and effects is currently emerging. There is a need to understand oncology patients’ experiences of using eHealth tools and to ground these experiences in local sociopolitical contexts of technology implementation, while seeking to devise strategies to enhance portal benefits.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of oncology patients and their family caregivers when using electronic patient portals to support their health care needs. We focused on how Alberta’s unique, 2-portal context shapes experiences of early portal adopters and nonadopters, in anticipation of a province-wide rollout of a clinical information system in oncology facilities.

METHODS

This qualitative descriptive study employed individual semistructured interviews and demographic surveys with 11 participants. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed thematically. The study was approved by the University of Alberta Human Research Ethics Board.

RESULTS

Participants currently living with nonactive cancer discussed an online patient portal as one among many tools (including the internet, phone, videoconferencing, print-out reports) available to make sense of their diagnosis and treatment, maintain connections with health care providers, and engage with information. In the Fall of 2020, most participants had access to 1 of 2 of Alberta’s patient portals and identified ways in which this portal was supportive (or not) of their ongoing health care needs. Four major themes, reflecting the participants’ broader concerns within which the portal use was occurring, were generated from the data: (1) experiencing doubt and the desire for transparency; (2) seeking to become an informed and active member of the health care team; (3) encountering complexity; and (4) emphasizing the importance of the patient–provider relationship.

CONCLUSIONS

Although people diagnosed with cancer and their family caregivers considered an online patient portal as beneficial, they identified several areas that limit how portals support their oncology care. Providers of health care portals are invited to recognize these limitations and work toward addressing them.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Adolescents contribute slightly less than one-third of all new HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa. There is a need for more effective intervention approaches to help young adolescents safely navigate through adolescence and into adulthood. We are assessing the efficacy of Tumaini, a smartphone game designed to prevent HIV among young Africans. Against the background of COVID-19, meaningful alteration of the research protocol was necessary to ensure successful implementation and retention of the study participants in ongoing research.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our protocol is to determine (1) if Tumaini delays sexual debut and increases condom use at first sex and (2) whether it influences behavioral mediators of early and unprotected sex.

METHODS

Participants were recruited from Kisumu County in Western Kenya. This study is a 2-arm, individual-randomized controlled trial that enrolled 1004 adolescents aged between 12 years and 15 years. The intervention arm participants are playing Tumaini, while the control arm is provided with Brainilis, a commercially available control game. The study period will last 45 months. At baseline, participants in both arms completed a baseline survey and biological testing for HIV and herpes simplex virus, type 2 (HSV-2); participants will have annual game play periods in years 1-3. They will also complete a total of 12 follow-up surveys. At endline, repeat biological testing will be conducted. Protocol adaptations were necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic and implemented in accordance with local public health guidelines.

RESULTS

Participants were enrolled between October 2020 and November 2020. We plan to complete study procedures in September 2024. The enrolled participant sample was 50.1% (499/996) female and had a mean age of 14.0 (SD 0.6) years.

CONCLUSIONS

This ongoing research demonstrates that, with appropriate revisions to planned protocol activities guided by the need to maintain study integrity, protect both study participants and staff, and adhere to institutional review board and local health authority guidelines, human subject research is possible in the context of a global pandemic. If the trial demonstrates efficacy, Tumaini would provide an alternative, remote means of delivering age-appropriate education to adolescents on safer sex, HIV prevention, and effective life skills on a highly scalable, low-cost, and culturally adaptable platform.

Authors: Bartholmae Marilyn M , Toepp Angela J , Roess Amira A , Sill Joshua M , Renshaw Keith D , Jain Pradumain , Dodani Sunita
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

As digital health research is becoming a critical element of population health during the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts to recognize and integrate the digital research needs of individuals at risk for mental health disparities have lagged. This could result in poor community health outcomes and increased mental health disparities.

OBJECTIVE

We evaluated the digital COVIDsmart study for inclusiveness of populations at risk for mental health disparities. Additionally, we identified demographic and clinical characteristics of participants with higher rates of anxiety and/or depression during COVID-19, and potential emerging mental health disparities in the context of COVID-19

METHODS

Using multiple recruitment strategies, a total of 782 participants were enrolled in the Virginia COVIDsmart prospective study. A HIPAA compliant digital platform was used to collect data on demographics, COVID-19 clinical parameters, health perceptions, mental and physical health, resilience, vaccination status, education/work functioning, social/family functioning, and economic impact. We assessed differences in frequencies of individuals at risk for mental health disparities and in demographic/clinical characteristics of participants with anxiety and/or depression.

RESULTS

The majority of participants enrolled in the COVIDsmart study were White (628/771, 81.5%), female (577/734, 78.6%), with at least a Master’s degree (483/771, 62.6%), an annual household income of at least $100,000 (389/771, 51%), living in non-rural areas (758/771, 98%), with health insurance (718/728, 98.6%), and between ages 36 and 65 years (471/736, 64%). Although anxiety and/or depression rates were high for all groups, significant differences were found among age groups (P<.001), gender (P<.001), annual household income (P=.014), and comorbid cancer and neurological disorders (P<.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Digital research methods may provide opportunities to rapidly study the numerous health impacts of COVID-19, which are currently not fully understood. However, digital health research inclusiveness remains challenging. COVIDsmart study did not achieve expected representation of individuals at risk for mental health disparities. Nevertheless, we found substantial anxiety and/or depression across all demographic and clinical groups. Areas of potential emerging mental health disparities in digital research may include low resiliency, low health literacy, and being a woman between 18 and 35 years. Further research is necessary to understand participation barriers and emerging mental health disparities during COVID-19, which impact digital research practices.

Authors: Summerah Sheikh
Published: November 2021

Abstract: This study presents a strategy to automate the process to recognize and track objects using color and motion. Video Tracking is the approach to detect a moving item using a camera across the long distance. The basic goal of video tracking is in successive video frames to link target objects. When objects move quicker in proportion to frame rate, the connection might be particularly difficult. This work develops a method to follow moving objects in real-time utilizing HSV color space values and OpenCV in distinct video frames.. We start by deriving the HSV value of an object to be tracked and then in the testing stage, track the object. It was seen that the objects were tracked with 90% accuracy.

Authors: O. S. Aribdosho Lucky
Published: November 2021

Abstract: Informality can be improved most effectively when neighborhoods adopt approaches that are pivotal to build on unplanned developments. Typically, the Eagle Island neighborhood in Port Harcourt City Council has been embroiled with forceful eviction and demotions of informal settlement by government in time past over certain fundamental issues affecting planned development, noticeable even till date. This study examined the application of existing pro-poor approaches for integrating informal settlements into neighborhood planned development in Eagle Island neighborhood, Rivers State, Nigeria. The study adopted a case study approach with primary data sourced through semi-structured questionnaires administered to 15 senior officials Rivers States Ministries of Lands and Surveys, Urban Development and Lecturers at Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Rivers State University in Port Harcourt representing 75% response rate, while secondary data were mainly from documents from United Nations Human Settlements Programmes. The data collected was qualitatively analyzed using simple percentages with thematic analysis the findings showed that the approaches for integrating informality into formality are locations specific, and not generic for the case of Eagle Island. The approaches includes granting of temporal licenses for settlers to occupy land, removal of anti-informality land laws and politics by government, and provision of laws and policies for integrating informality, government and well-spirited individuals for the intention of providing affordable housing. Therefore, the study concluded that informal settlement should not be considered as an anomaly, but rather incorporating them in the formal system that will necessitate the responses actually needed to address informal settlers, and the needs for the poor to access urban land.

Cylindrical, Horizontal bullet type Pressure vessel with Hemispherical head was used for this analysis .This work was intended for Stress Minimization within the structure as a principal aim, which is being caused by the exertion of pressure of the fluid on the internal wall and for this SA516Gr65 and SA537 CL 1 material was selected form ASTM Library. This designed Pressure vessel to be used for the LPG gas storage under the internal design pressure of 1.55MPa at 55°C. The design and analysis work was carried out in two sections Design by Rule (DBR) which is a conventional design, for that empirical formula was used to calculate the value of stress being produced under the given conditions and for the required thickness of the shell, head and nozzle to sustain the applied pressure of fluid by following the standards of ASME (BPVC) SecVIII Div- I and Deign by Analysis (DBA), which is a analytical design approach, here Finite Element Method (FEM) was opted for the analysis of the designed model, which was done in the CATIA V5, here in the CATIA two models, Model 1 and Model 2 were created and a structural modification was done in the model 2 and then analysis was performed in the Ansys Workbench 16.0. The comparison was made for both the design approach for the minimized stress values of Hoop Stress and Longitudinal Stress by structural modification and the required thickness under the alternative materials selections criteria was discussed. Up to 25% less stress value was seen in comparative structural analysis of Model 1 and Model 2. This report also discusses the use of SA537 CL 1 material as an alternative options which helps to reduce the thickness of the vessel when compared to the existing materials because this material can sustain the same amount of pressure under given condition at a thinner shell also, this is numerically proved here in this work. Keywords: Pressure Vessel, ASME, Stress Minimization, LPG, FEM, DBR, DBA, Optimum Design.

Más allá de re-imaginar: transformar los museos
Authors: Franco-Avellaneda Manuel
Published: November 2021

Más allá del entretenimiento y la diversión con la ciencia y la tecnología, nuestras sociedades necesitan espacios educativos de encuentro para el diálogo y la deliberación sobre los conocimientos científicos y tecnológicos. Tales espacios podrían ser museos y centros de ciencia, siempre que logren articularse con las necesidades, situaciones y demandas sociales. Este libro nos propone re-imaginar las exposiciones y las prácticas en los museos a partir de una revisión extensa de literatura y varios estudios de caso, que muestran cómo diferentes escenarios en Brasil, Canadá y EEUU están configurando sus exposiciones para involucrar y debatir con sus públicos sobre temas controversiales a travesados por la ciencia y la tecnología.
The place of local government bodies in a unified system of public government bodies of Russia: issues of theoretical implementation
Authors: Chikhladze Levan T. , Ganina Olga Yu.
Published: November 2021

The introduction of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation necessitated a theoretical understanding of the established legal norms after their legislative update. Inclusion in the text of the state basic law of the public authorities concept, which requires its theoretical understanding, is of unconditional interest. To identify the specifics of the position of local self-government bodies in the state mechanism, depending on a particular model of state governance, it is necessary to study the experience of organization and functioning of the state apparatus at various historical stages. The aim of the study is to analyze the concepts of theoretical scientists on the legal nature and role of public authorities in the life of the state and to determine the position of local authorities in the public authority system in connection with consolidation of their unity with public authorities in the basic law of the state. In the process of research, the authors used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as specific scientific methods - historical and comparative legal. It is concluded that, despite the novelty of the concept of public authorities in the text of the basic law of the state, conceptually it does not change the basis of the functional interaction of public authorities and local governments. Nevertheless, the normative consolidation of the unity of public authorities in the Constitution of the Russian Federation does not abolish the organizational separation of local self-government and its bodies from public authorities.
Controlled foreign companies of Russian residents in the context of world trends
Authors: Frolova Evgenia E. , Tsepova Ekaterina A.
Published: November 2021

The subject of this article is financial relations of the state and its tax residents with foreign assets (stock), as well as control over such companies through various legal mechanisms. The authors examined the main global trends in the development of legislation on controlled foreign corporations, as well as characteristics of tax systems that may contribute to such norms introduction. It was found that implementation of international multilateral agreements such as CRS MCAA and CBC MCAA in the field of tax control enhances development of anti-offshore regulation, including legislation on controlled foreign corporations. Particular attention is paid to the comparative legal analysis of the controlled foreign companies (CFC) rules in 15 jurisdictions, including the Russian Federation and identification of similar and specific rules. As a result of the research, the authors came to the conclusion that Russia is following the world trends, although at this stage it is not the country that forms them. In the future, to successfully apply the CFC legislation in the Russian Federation, it will be necessary to improve the existing norms , increase the efficiency of tax administration and improve the legal status of taxpayers.
Legal consequences for the state arising from the use of weapons against civil aircraft: review and legal framework development
Authors: Novikova Tatiana V. , Kuts Stepan O.
Published: November 2021

The authors elaborate on one of the controversial issues of international air law - safety of civil aircraft in flight in respect of the use of weapons against it. The first part of the present article considers major aerial accidents arising from shooting down the civil aircraft for the last 70 years as a factual basis for further legal analysis. In the second part, the authors back up customary prohibition of the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight and legal consequences for states for violating the mentioned principle. The authors investigate the grounds for the security exception and conclude that the only grounds for derogation from the principle of non-use of weapons against civil aircraft is Article 51 of the UN Charter proclaiming the inherent right of the state to self-defence. Even in this case, the application of the security exception by the state is tolerated by using a set of precautions before employment of weapons. Finally, authors conclude that compensation for victims reflects the inevitable monetisation of human lives. Moreover, states negotiations reveal the controversial reality of trade-offs between them, where compensation amounts are occasionally affected by external political factors and current position of a particular state in the international community.
Methodological function of the “genomic information” notion for human genome interdisciplinary researches
Authors: Berg Lyudmila N.
Published: November 2021

The author is convinced that a notion genomic information is widespread in sciences thus justifies that a genomic information is already a general scientific notion. The author differentiates internal and external factors that have a great impact on the notion of genomic information. Internal factors are digitalization of sciences, interdisciplinary research, and a new type of rationality in science. External factors are modern economy that is based on scientific and technical progress. The article refers to the theory of notions ranges that was substantiated by A.M. Vasilev. It creates a new notions range concerning the notion of genomic information. It is crucial to understand that this notion is investigated in the aspect of legal information. In the authors opinion, notions range concerning the genomic information notion forms the basis for a fresh interdisciplinary law-and-genome theory which will be developing consequently. The author asserts that it is necessary to use general scientific approaches for law-and-genome informations research. In this sense systematic and informational approaches are the most significant for interdisciplinary law-and-genome theory ones.

Overview of European legislation in the field of creating and functioning of population registers
Authors: Trofimets Irina A.
Published: November 2021

The article offers an analysis of the European legislation in the field of creation and functioning of information systems for population registration. The author argues that population accounting is conditioned by the need to solve multiple domestic economic, social and demographic issues, as well as global problems of mankind. The information of the UN Statistical and UN Population Commissions on population and housing stock based on the states information systems formed the main selection criterion. The conducted research allowed us to conclude that there is no uniform approach in the legal regulation of population registration in EU national territories. Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Hungary, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Finland have established and operate unified registers containing information about the population. Although the information systems differ, the common feature is that the public nature of the register information is emphasized; it is integrated and unified throughout the territory, the terms central and national are widely used. The author concludes that the study of world experience contributes to the improvement of national legislation and law enforcement in the relevant field of public relations, which is especially relevant in connection with the adoption of Federal Law No. 168-FZ of 08.06.2020 On the Unified Federal Information Register containing information about the population of the Russian Federation.
On the presentation of the heights theory in the Russian literature
Authors: Popadyev V.V. , Mosolkova I.Yu. , Rakhmonov S.S.
Published: November 2021

Our review of the Russian literature on geodesy caused a desire to consider the texts related to determining the heights of points on the earth’s surface. This topic, seeming simple, is very complex and is a mandatory part of most textbooks for students of geodetic specialties in universities and colleges. The presentation of the heights theory in the course of topography affects not only the specialized departments of construction, polytechnic universities and specialized colleges, but higher geodetic educational institutions as well. The authors review and evaluate the sections on the theory of heights in the domestic educational geodetic literature. Typical inaccuracies in the presentation of elevation systems are analyzed, criticism of the most common clichés among surveyors is given, recommendations are made on the minimum of presentation of the elevation system for non-specialists, and some useful illustrations are provided to make understanding the essence of the phenomenon easier. The article was written basing on the experience of lecturing height systems by employees of the departments of surveying and higher geodesy. We hope to arouse the interest to this topic.
