Fluid Boundaries: Ethnographic observations of co-located physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths
Authors: Toloui-Wallace Joshua , Forbes Roma , Thomson Oliver P. , Costa Nathalia
Published: November 2023

Background: Chiropractors, osteopaths and physiotherapists (COPs) assess and manage musculoskeletal conditions with similar manual or physical therapy techniques. This overlap in scope of practice raises questions about the boundaries between the three professions. Clinical settings where they are co-located may provide insight into the nature of these boundaries and how they are managed by clinicians themselves.
Objectives: To understand the nature of professional boundaries between COPs within a co-located clinical environment and describe the ways in which professional boundaries may be reinforced, weakened, or navigated in these environments.
Methods: Drawing from an interpretivist paradigm, we used ethnographic observations to observe interactions between 15 COPs across two clinics. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis principles.
Results: We identified various physical and non-physical ‘boundary objects’ that influenced the nature of the professional boundaries between the COPs that participated in the study. These boundary objects overall seemed to increase the fluidity of the professional boundaries, at times simultaneously reinforcing and weakening them. The boundary objects were categorised into three themes: physical, including the clinic’s floor plan, large and small objects; social, including identities and discourse; and organisational, including appointment durations and fees, remuneration policies and insurance benefits.
Conclusions: Physical, social, organisational related factors made the nature of professional boundaries between COPs in these settings fluid. These findings may challenge consumers, clinicians and administrators to appreciate that traditional beliefs of distinct boundaries between COPs may not be so in practice. Both clinical practice and future research on professional boundaries between COPs may need to further consider some of these broader factors.
Exploring the Role of Central Bank Independence and Monetary Policy Communication in Achieving Price Stability
Authors: Natsagdorj Batjin
Published: November 2023

In modern monetary economics, the concepts of central bank independence and communication are crucial and contribute to the implementation of monetary policies. Various methods and indices have been developed to measure their impact on economic indicators and central bank performance. However, most studies have analyzed these separately, using indices with a restricted set of questions. This study investigated the effect of central bank independence and monetary policy communication on consumer price index-measured inflation deviation from the central bank target using a granular IAPOC index. The IAPOC index comprises 225 questions on three main pillars; this research employed two pillars (Independence & accountability and communications) with 182 questions. A fixed-effects panel regression analysis was performed in this study, utilizing primary data from Mongolia spanning 2007–2022, along with data from 19 other countries. The results suggest that effective communication and central bank independence are negatively correlated with inflation deviations from the target, supporting price stability.

Testing the applicability of GMPEs for the Hainaut region (Belgium) using intensity data
Authors: Vanneste Kris , Neefs Ben , Camelbeeck Thierry
Published: November 2023

In regions where strong earthquakes occurred before the deployment of dense seismic and accelerometric networks, intensity datasets can help selecting relevant ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for seismic hazard studies. This is the case for the Hainaut seismic zone, which was one of the most seismically active zones in and around Belgium during the 20th century. A recent reassessment of the intensity dataset of the area showed that intensities there attenuate much faster with distance than in other parts of northwestern Europe. Unfortunately, this characteristic has not yet been taken into account in current hazard maps for Belgium and northern France. Based on this dataset, we evaluate the goodness of fit of published GMPEs with intensities in Hainaut by means of a ground-motion-to-intensity conversion equation (GMICE) and according to different metrics (Likelihood, Log-likelihood and Euclidean-based Distance Ranking) published in literature. We also introduce a new measure to specifically evaluate the distance trend. Our results show that none of the tested GMPEs convincingly fits the intensity dataset, in particular the fast attenuation with distance. Still, applying the few GMPEs that show a reasonable fit in seismic hazard computations, we observe a decrease of the influence of the Hainaut seismicity in hazard maps for Belgium and northern France. This result is compatible with the earthquake intensity observations for the last 350 years in this part of Europe.

İnsan hakları, birey ile devlet arasında bir bağlantı kurar. Mülteci, kendi ülkesinden kaçmak zorunda kalan ve bir başka ülkeye sığınma talebinde bulunan kişidir. Mülteciler, devletlerin, ülkelerinde insan haklarını ihlal etmelerinin bir sonucudur. Devletlerin insan haklarını koruma konusunda, birbiriyle çok yakın bağlantılı ve esasen birbiriyle yarışan iki yükümlülüğü söz konusudur. Bunlardan biri ve diğerine de kaynaklık eden, varsayımsal toplumsal sözleşmeye dayalı ve devlet egemenliğinden kaynaklanan devletlerin vatandaşlarını koruma yükümlülüğüdür. Diğeri ise devletin, uluslararası bağlayıcı olan ve olmayan hukuki hukuki metinlerde düzenlenen, insan haklarını ayrımcılık yapmadan korumasıdır. Devletlerin, bu yarışan yükümlülüklerini ihlallerinden doğan mültecilerin kitlesel akınları, uluslararası haksız fiildir. Bu durum, Devletin Uluslararası Haksız Fiillerden Dolayı Sorumluluğuna İlişkin Taslak Maddeler’e göre, menşe devletin sorumluluğunu doğurur. Çalışma, Suriye örneği üzerinden menşe devletlerin kitlesel mülteci akınlarına sebep olmak yüzünden uluslararası sorumluluğunu inceler ve bu sorumluluğun sonucu olan onarım şekillerinden “eski hale iade” ye odaklanır. Eski hale iade ile mültecilerin menşe ülkelerine “gönüllü geri dönüş” leri arasında bir bağlantı kurar.

Regioselectivity Inversion in Hydroformylation of Aryl Alkenes with a
Diphosphoramidite-rhodium Catalyst
Authors: Arena Carmela G.
Published: November 2023

Rhodium catalysts for hydroformylation of aryl alkenes generally promote the
formation of branched aldehydes. Here, we have demonstrated that by using a single rhodium
catalyst containing a diphosphoramidite ligand derived from BINOL, it is possible to
achieve the inversion of regioselectivity in the hydroformylation of aryl alkenes simply by
reducing the syngas pressure or, alternatively, increasing the reaction temperature. Indeed,
the hydroformylation of styrene carried out at 20 bar and 50°C resulted in 72% of 2-
phenylpropanal, while at atmospheric pressure, 71% of 3-phenylpropanal was obtained. A
similar linear selectivity (72-74%) was observed when the hydroformylation of styrene, pmethylstyrene,
and p-methoxystyrene was performed at 10 bar and higher temperature
(80°C). The regioselectivity of the hydroformylation of trans-β-methylstyrene under mild
conditions (80°C, 10-20 bar) was also strongly influenced by the syngas pressure. The results of this study show
that it is possible to reverse the selectivity of aryl alkenes hydroformylation with a single catalyst by simply exploring
the reaction conditions. In this paper, we have shown that the inversion of the regioselectivity in the hydroformylation
of aryl alkenes can be achieved using a single rhodium catalyst containing a BINOL-derived
diphosphoramidite ligand by reducing the syngas pressure or, alternatively, increasing the reaction temperature.
Comparison of the Effectiveness of Endometrial Scratching in Follicular and Luteal Phases in Pregnancy Rate of Frozen Embryo Transfer Candidate Women
Authors: Pilehvar Shamim , Autoogar Marzieh , Hakemzadeh Faryar , Doostiiranid Amin , Moghadami Samar
Published: November 2023

Background:

Endometrial scratching (ES) has been reported as a strategy to improve
the outcome of IVF. Considering that the follicular phase and luteal phase have their specific characteristics and hormonal secretions, we investigated whether scratching in different phases affects
a woman's chances of becoming pregnant following frozen embryo transfer.

Methods:

A total of 300 frozen embryo transfer candidate women with normal cavities and good
embryo quality were randomly divided into two groups: group A with ES in the follicular phase
and group B with ES in the luteal phase. In both groups, endometrial scratching was performed before IVF. The rate of pregnancy and baseline characteristics, such as age, education, and embryo
quality, were compared between the two groups.

Results:

Our results showed no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the
groups. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed between the women who underwent ES in the follicular phase and those in the luteal phase for the outcome of IVF and chemical
or clinical pregnancies.

Conclusion:

ES in different phases of the cycle preceding frozen embryo transfer did not affect
the outcome of pregnancy.
A Comprehensive Review on Patents, Herbal Treatment and Clinical
Trials on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Authors: Choudhary Sushen Singh , Verma Sushma
Published: November 2023

This paper provides an outline of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), its mechanism of action, and types of HIV/AIDS. Additionally, it offers recent advances and patent data on
HIV medications and formulations for the last ten years. The HIV/AIDS patents describes how compounds can stop viruses from spreading and stop HIV from multiplying. It also gives information
about monolithic tablets, fixed oral doses of triple HIV formulations, and drug delivery systems that
use electrospun fibers. The patents also reveals the treatment for patients having liver disease by using herbal ingredients. The effects of various herbal ingredients and preparations on HIV replication,
immunological function, and symptom management have been researched. Despite the encouraging
randomized trial data available, it is crucial to proceed cautiously when using herbal treatments for
HIV/AIDS treatment. Recent years clinical trials of HIV/AIDS were also reviewed. Herbal remedies
are preferred more than other drugs because they have fewer side effects and have long-lasting effects
for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The regulation, quality assurance, and standardization of herbal
products are the challenges for the industry.
Characterization of the Guinea Pig Production Chain in Southern Colombia and Identification of Determining Factors for Adequate Provision of Extension Services
Authors: Forero Oscar A. , Patiño Rocío E. , Carlosama Luz Dary , Portillo Paola A.
Published: November 2023

The development of agrifood systems in Latin America reflects contrasting policy goals. Most governments advocate that “modernization,” measured as increased rates of technology adoption, is the way to address persistent food insecurity. By contrast, peasants’ and indigenous people’s organizations and social movements propose advancing knowledge co-production and co-innovation to increase the resilience of agrifood systems. Colombia reformed the National Innovation System for Agriculture in 2017. The policy reform instructed transitioning from providing “technical advice” to rural extension services. The research aimed to fill the knowledge gap regarding the transition to rural extension along the guinea pig production chain.   In addition to characterizing the production chain, we conducted qualitative and reflectivity analyses to understand better how institutional practices and research cultures hinder or promote transitioning to rural extension. The investigation revealed that small-scale farmers who rely on the production and commercialization of guinea pigs as a livelihood strategy have continued receiving advice to adopt the latest technologies. In closing, besides addressing technological deficits or inefficiencies, a systemic approach that considers cultural context and identity must integrate into rural extension to ensure technological adoption is aligned with the sustainability and resilience objectives of the guinea pig production chain.

The Usefulness of Web-Based Communication Data for Social Network Health Interventions: Agent-Based Modeling Study (Preprint)
Authors: Blok David J , Simoski Bojan , van Woudenberg Thabo J , Buijzen Moniek
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Social network interventions are an effective approach to promote physical activity. These interventions are traditionally designed using self-reported peer nomination network data to represent social connections. However, there is unexplored potential in communication data exchanged through web-based messaging apps or social platforms, given the availability of these data, the developments in artificial intelligence to analyze these data, and the shift of personal communication to the web sphere. The implications of using web-based versus offline social networks on the effectiveness of social network interventions remain largely unexplored.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the differences in the impact of social network interventions on physical activity levels (PALs) between networks derived from web-based communication and peer nomination data.

METHODS

We used the data on sociometric questionnaires, messages from a web-based communication app, and PAL (number of steps per day) of 408 participants in 21 school classes. We applied social network analysis to identify influential peers and agent-based modeling to simulate the diffusion of PAL and explore the impact of social network interventions on PAL among adolescents in school classes. Influential peers (n=63) were selected based on centrality measures (ie, in-degree, closeness, and betweenness) to spread the intervention. They received health education, which increased their PAL by 17%. In sensitivity analyses, we tested the impact of a 5%, 10%, and 20% increase in PAL among influential peers.

RESULTS

There was a 24%-27% overlap in selected influential peers between the 2 network representations. In general, the simulations showed that interventions could increase PAL by 5.0%-5.8% within 2 months. However, the predicted median impact on PAL was slightly higher in networks based on web-based communication data than peer nomination data for in-degree (5.7%, IQR 5.5%-6.1% vs 5.5%, IQR 5.2%-5.8%; P=.002), betweenness (5.6%, IQR 5.4%-5.9% vs 5.0%, IQR 4.7%-5.3%; P<.001), and closeness centrality (5.8%, IQR 5.6%-6.1% vs 5.3%, IQR 5.0%-5.6%; P<.001). A large variation in impact was observed between school classes (range 1.5%-17.5%). Lowering the effectiveness of health education from 17% to 5% would reduce the overall impact of the social network intervention by 3-fold in both networks.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings showed that network interventions based on web-based communication data could increase PAL. Web-based communication data may therefore be a valuable addition to peer nomination data for future social network intervention design. Artificial intelligence methods, including agent-based modeling, can help to design these network interventions and provide insights into the role of network characteristics in their effectiveness.
Understanding Adolescents’ Experiences With Menstrual Pain to Inform the User-Centered Design of a Mindfulness-Based App: Mixed Methods Investigation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Gagnon Michelle M , Brilz Alexandra R , Alberts Nicole M , Gordon Jennifer L , Risling Tracie L , Stinson Jennifer N
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Digital interventions are increasingly popular for the provision of nonpharmacological pain interventions, but few exist for adolescents with menstrual pain. User-centered design involves incorporating users across phases of digital health intervention design, development, and implementation and leads to improved user engagement and outcomes. A needs assessment is the first step of this approach.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study was to conduct a needs assessment to understand menstrual pain management needs and preferences and mindfulness experiences, preferences, and knowledge of adolescents with menstrual pain to inform the future development of an app for managing menstrual pain.

METHODS

We used an explanatory sequential mixed method design that included a survey followed by focus groups. Adolescents aged 13-17 years completed a survey (n=111) and participated in focus groups (n=16). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic content analysis and synthesized to provide specific recommendations based on adolescent responses.

RESULTS

Adolescents (n=111) who completed the survey reported a moderate understanding of mindfulness and menstrual pain. Over three-quarters (n=87, 78%) of participants practiced some form of mindfulness and 87% (n=97) of survey participants used nonpharmacological pain management strategies. Teens had a moderate perception that mindfulness could help their menstrual pain (mean 4.51/10, SD 2.45, with higher scores suggesting more interest). Themes were generated related to mindfulness experiences, menstrual pain knowledge and experiences, and app functionality. These themes underscored adolescents’ need for continued support and flexible access to mindfulness activities; their awareness of multiple influences to pain, with potential for further education in this area; and the need for menstrual pain–specific content, along with content relevant to typical day-to-day experiences of adolescents.

CONCLUSIONS

Adolescents with menstrual pain have an interest in using a mindfulness app for pain but have unique needs that need to be addressed to ensure app engagement and relevance for this population. Concrete recommendations for future app development are provided.

The Appropriation of Trauma in The Waste Land
Authors: Pujahari Subhra Souranshu
Published: November 2023

This essay delves deep into the innovative structure and style of T.S. Eliot's poem, The Waste Land. It explores several noteworthy elements, including its unique fragmented "jump-cut" technique, the incorporation of allusions, as well as direct, albeit unattributed, quotations and translations from global literature. Additionally, the essay examines the poem's extensive array of references spanning culture, language, geography, and time, while also considering its vivid yet economical portrayal of a diverse array of transient scenarios and characters. This essay takes into account the strong criticisms of these features and the justifications provided by both Eliot and sympathetic critics. It further connects these elements to The Waste Land's ongoing engagement with personal and collective physical, social, moral, and spiritual wounds, and explores the tentative, yet often exquisite, hints at possibilities for healing and hope within the poem.

Cómo te ves a ti misma está influenciado por las cosas que te rodean: opiniones, prejuicios, medios de comunicación, amigos, familia, etcétera. Pero cuando pasas un tiempo prolongado aislada del mundo que conoces, todo esto cambia. La pandemia del COVID-19 nos orilló a ser nuestra propia compañía y, en más de un momento, resultó una experiencia extraña; diferentes temas pudieron haber aparecido en nuestra cabeza: la salud mental, la ansiedad y la depresión fueron tópicos constantes de reflexión. Algo es muy claro, cada persona es un mundo y eso se vio reflejado en este período (incluso hoy en día puede que la reflexión continue). Cada persona tuvo su propio camino a seguir, ya sea desde los problemas que enfrentó o sigue enfrentando, o los aprendizajes que decidió agregar a su persona. Somos el resultado de todas esas experiencias, nos hemos convertido en el reflejo del constante cambio, y tenemos un detonante de transformación en común. Puede que no todos se sientan cómodos compartiendo sus reflexiones y retrospectivas, pero quienes lo hacemos esperamos que, más allá de simplemente leer otro punto de vista, los lectores encuentren un punto en común, algo que muestre el factor humano que todos compartimos.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Carotid dissection consists of a tear in the vessel wall. It is a rare pathology, but it is the most common cause of ischemic cerebral vascular disease (CVD) in people under 45 years of age. The clinical manifestations are very variable. Method: We used CARE recommendations for reporting clinical cases. Clinical case: Previously, a healthy 45-year-old man with acute weakness of the right thoracic extremity without apparent cause. The simple skull tomography did not show any alterations. MRI showed complete occlusion of the internal carotid artery in all its segments and decreased flow of the left middle cerebral artery. The clinical evolution was unfavorable. Conclusion: Carotid dissection should be suspected in people with CVD without cardiovascular risk factors. Keywords: Carotid artery; spontaneous carotid dissection; acute ischemic stroke; emergency medicine; interventional radiology

Published: November 2023

Acute Mesenteric Ischemia is associated with a mortality rate between 50% and 100%; the rarest cause of this is venous thrombosis of the mesenteric (5%) and portal (1%) vessels. The clinical manifestations are diverse, with abdominal pain being the main symptom. Computed tomography with intravenous contrast in the portal phase is the most accurate image for diagnosis. Treatment in the acute phase is based on anticoagulation, intravenous fluids, prophylactic antibiotics, intestinal rest, and decompression. Damage control laparotomy, including bowel resection and open abdomen, may ultimately be warranted for patients with bowel necrosis and sepsis.
Securing Unrecorded Physical Transactions
Authors: Chauhan Aditya Singh
Published: November 2023

Abstract: Every day, we perform many transactions, some of which are recorded and some of which are not. Recorded transactions are those that have a physical record maintained, such as online transactions or bank loans. Unrecorded transactions are those that do not have a record maintained, such as most physical transactions. Unrecorded transactions are difficult to verify, which makes them susceptible to fraud. This paper proposes a solution for preventing fraud in physical unrecorded transactions by digitalizing their record using blockchain and developing a model of transaction which will secure the record of transaction and ensure that money is actually being transferred. This solution has a number of potential benefits, including reducing the number of victims of fraud, saving businesses money, and improving public trust in the financial system.

Published: November 2023

Abstract: This paper presents an IoT-based Laser Security System (IoT-LSS) designed to enhance perimeter security and intrusion detection capabilities. Traditional security systems often rely on cameras and motion sensors, which can be susceptible to false alarms and environmental limitations. The proposed IoT-LSS addresses these challenges by leveraging laser technology, IoT devices The interruption of the laser beam caused by an intruder's movement triggers an alert.

A Study on an Approach to Driver Distraction Detection Based on Predicting the Distribution of Categorical Response Variable with Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models
Authors: Banda Joshua
Published: November 2023

Abstract: As per a World Health Organization (WHO) report, inattentive driving is the 8th greatest reason for traffic fatalities. A lot of work has been done to combat this problem including research into advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). This work includes the employment of distracted driver detection systems and algorithms to serve as a warning system. Recent work has shown how deep learning techniques can offer higher accuracy in classifying distracted driver. Earlier work has also shown how machine learning and later deep learning can be used for this task. At its core the task can be broken down to learning features in an image to predict the state .ML and DL algorithms were employed in this research to classify diverted driving using images achieving state of the art results in many occurrences. However, as the research has progressed and models have gotten bigger. How these predictions are made has not been explored. The black box problem is now an area of research and quantifying the uncertainty of the module may help shed light on my predictions were made. We suggest using a new approach to distracted driver detection using denoising diffusion probabilistic models for this task. Performance is enhanced by reconfiguring the CARD model for the task. Our motivation is not to achieve state-of- the-art performance in terms of mean accuracy on the State farm distracted driver dataset, which is strongly related to network architecture design. Our goal is to perform classification via a generative model emphasize the model’s capability to improve the performance of a base classifier with deterministic outputs in terms of accuracy.

We started the Teach Your Parents project to explain the science behind climate change through comics in a child-friendly manner. The project team was my sister, Nandini Sundram (Grade 6), me, Abhimanyu Sundram (Grade 11) and our father, Sanjay Sundram. School-children after reading the comic created painting based on what they had learnt. Selected paintings were exhibited in an Art gallery in Ottawa. Over 700 children from India and Canada took part and the final exhibition was held from Feb to April 2024. We also exhibited robotics enabled pieces to further inform audiences about climate change.

The success of the project and its potential to create a social impact is exciting. We want to continue this initiative to reach larger audiences. We see collaboration between young people and adults as a way forward to fight climate change.

We strove to incorporate United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) Article 12 into a broader project focused on an elementary school’s curriculum development by inviting the students to express their views on their education. In two studies conducted approximately a month apart, children aged 5 to 10 years were asked to draw pictures about school and then describe and explain their drawings to a member of the research team. Findings revealed differences in children’s thoughts on what they want at school (Study 1, N=37) versus what they think their education should involve (Study 2, N=36). In particular, children tended to focus on STEM, physical activity, and nature when describing what their education should involve. Together, our studies in combination with previous findings suggest that children have common beliefs about their education.
