Published: November 2023

Background

Pregnancy is a pivotal phase in a woman’s life, demanding special attention to ensure maternal and fetal health. Prenatal education plays a vital role in promoting healthy pregnancies and reducing adverse outcomes for pregnant women. Mobile prenatal education programs have gained traction due to their accessibility and timeliness, especially in light of finite health care resources and the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective

This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile-based prenatal education program in improving pregnancy outcomes.

Methods

We developed a mobile-based prenatal education curriculum in collaboration with a multidisciplinary maternal care team from Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) in Beijing, China. Data were retrospectively collected from 1941 pregnant women who had registered for the PUMCH mobile prenatal education program and subsequently delivered at PUMCH between May 2021 and August 2022. The study compared pregnancy outcomes between the completing group, which were pregnant women who had completed at least 1 course, and the noncompleting group. We also analyzed differences among course topics within the completing group and assessed course topic popularity among pregnant women.

Results

The PUMCH mobile prenatal education curriculum consists of 436 courses across 9 topics. Out of the participants, a total of 1521 did not complete any courses, while 420 completed at least 1 course. Compared with the noncompleting group, pregnant women who completed courses exhibited a significant reduction in the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, induced abortion, postpartum infection, fetal intrauterine distress, and neonatal malformation. Among those in the completing group, a total of 86% (361/420) started course completion during the first and second trimesters. Furthermore, completing courses related to topics of pregnancy psychology and pregnancy nutrition was associated with reduced risks of premature rupture of membranes and small for gestational age infants, respectively. Pregnancy psychology and postpartum recovery were the preferred topics among pregnant women.

Conclusions

The study demonstrates the potential of mobile-based prenatal education programs in improving pregnancy outcomes and supporting health care providers in delivering effective prenatal education. The rise of mobile prenatal education presents an opportunity to improve maternal and child health outcomes. Further research and broader implementation of such programs are warranted to continually improve maternal and child health.

Acciones del peróxido de hidrógeno (H2O2) como señalizador redox y como agente de estrés oxidante en la diabetes mellitus
Authors: Ulloa Miriam , Macías Fernando , Martínez de la Escalera Gonzalo , Arnold Edith
Published: November 2023

En las reacciones bioquímicas del metabolismo donde participa el oxígeno molecular se presenta una constante formación de especies reactivas de oxígeno (ROS). Entre las diferentes ROS, destaca el peróxido de hidrógeno (H2O2) por su papel en la fisiología celular, ya que participa como segundo mensajero en múltiples procesos celulares como la proliferación celular, la síntesis y la secreción de hormonas, la regulación y la activación de células inmunes, la angiogénesis y los procesos apoptóticos. Sin embargo, un aumento exacerbado en la formación y la acumulación de H2O2, producido por el incremento en la actividad de la cadena transportadora de electrones en la mitocondria, la autooxidación de la glucosa y/o la activación de la vía del sorbitol, genera un desequilibrio en el estado de óxido-reducción de las células. Esta acumulación de H2O2 puede causar un daño celular a través de la oxidación de las proteínas, los lípidos, los carbohidratos y los ácidos nucleicos; al contribuir en el desarrollo y la progresión de enfermedades degenerativas y metabólicas como la diabetes mellitus. Al subir la concentración de la glucosa en la sangre, se presenta un incremento en la concentración del H2O2, que intensifica los procesos oxidantes que están ligados a la patogénesis, la progresión y las complicaciones de la diabetes mellitus.

Rising Menace of Scrub Typhus – Current Status and Challenges
Authors: Rout Diptimayee , Praharaj Ira , Dalai Siba Prasad , Mishra Swati , Otta Sarita
Published: November 2023

Scrub typhus, an age old disease, is caused by the intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi. It has reemerged in recent years due to factors like climatic changes and human encroachment because of rampant urbanization. The disease is endemic in the area known as the ‘tsutsugamushi triangle’ and has recently spread its fangs into various other continents like South America and Africa. Although the disease is endemic in India, there is a lack of appropriate sero-epidemiology in community settings. It is one of the essential causes of acute undifferentiated fever in tropical locations and, if untreated, can cause mortality ranging from 2-30% of cases. Early diagnosis is an important parameter in administering the non beta-lactam regimen to prevent complications and mortality. Yet, there is a lack of accurate and rapid methods for diagnosis in the early stage of the disease, more so in rural areas where the disease is supposed to be predominant. The gold standard diagnostic test has its problems. Recently, there have been reports of drug resistance to the standard scrub typhus regimen. There is a gap of a decade in the research into this entity. Thus, a new look into the disease, its epidemiology and the challenges in its diagnostic scenario is an apt topic for discussion.

Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether type 1 diabetes and its complications are associated with bone geometry and microarchitecture.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This cross-sectional study was embedded in a long-term observational study. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans of the distal radius and distal and diaphyseal tibia were performed in a subset of 183 participants with type 1 diabetes from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) study and 94 control participants without diabetes. HbA1c, skin advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and diabetes-related complications were assessed in EDIC participants with >30 years of follow-up.

RESULTS

Compared with control participants (aged 60 ± 8 years, 65% female), EDIC participants (aged 60 ± 7 years, diabetes duration 38 ± 5 years, 51% female) had lower total bone mineral density (BMD) at the distal radius (−7.9% [95% CI −15.2%, −0.6%]; P = 0.030) and distal tibia (−11.3% [95% CI −18.5%, −4.2%]; P = 0.001); larger total area at all sites (distal radius 4.7% [95% CI 0.5%, 8.8%; P = 0.030]; distal tibia 5.9% [95% CI 2.1%, 9.8%; P = 0.003]; diaphyseal tibia 3.4% [95% CI 0.8%, 6.1%; P = 0.011]); and poorer radius trabecular and cortical microarchitecture. Estimated failure load was similar between the two groups. Among EDIC participants, higher HbA1c, AGE levels, and macroalbuminuria were associated with lower total BMD. Macroalbuminuria was associated with larger total area and lower cortical thickness at the distal radius. Higher HbA1c and AGE levels and lower glomerular filtration rate, peripheral neuropathy, and retinopathy were associated with deficits in trabecular microarchitecture.

CONCLUSIONS

Type 1 diabetes is associated with lower BMD, larger bone area, and poorer trabecular microarchitecture. Among participants with type 1 diabetes, suboptimal glycemic control, AGE accumulation, and microvascular complications are associated with deficits in bone microarchitecture and lower BMD.

Artikkelen gir en oversikt over analyser av produktivitet og effektivitet i helsesektoren med vekt på norske og nordiske anvendelser. Den effektive fronten blir beskrevet ved en produkteller kostnadsfunksjon. I begge tilfeller vil en skille mellom tjenesteprodusenter som er effektive, og de som er mindre effektive. Her presenteres de viktigste metodene, datainnhyllingsanalyse (DEA) og statistisk frontanalyse (SFA). I helsesektoren er det særlig institusjoner som er analysert, men også hele land, regioner og helsesystemer. Sykehusene i Finland er gjennomgående mer effektive og produktive enn sykehusene i de andre nordiske landene, men kvaliteten er ikke like høy. I Norge brukes produktivitetsanalyser i styringen av sektoren. En finner gjerne et effektivitetsnivå på 85–95 prosent med en produktivitetsvekst på 0–2 prosent per år. Øvrige analyser finner produktivitetsforbedringer ved større reformer, støtte til samdriftsfordeler og i senere analyser også stordriftsfordeler. Artikkelen identifiserer behov for videre forskning på medisinsk kvalitet, grensekostnader og kapasitet, samt effektivitet innen psykiatri og rusbehandling.

Published: November 2023

Background: Donor–recipient size mismatching is commonly occurs in pediatric kidney transplantation (KT). However, its effect on graft survival remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the effect of donor–recipient size mismatch on the long-term survival rate of transplant kidneys in pediatric KT. Methods: A total of 241 pediatric patients who received KT were enrolled. The medical records of all patients were retrospectively reviewed, and the correlation between donor–recipient size mismatch and graft function and long-term graft outcome was analyzed according to donor–recipient size mismatch. Results: Recipients and donors’ mean body weight at the time of KT were 34.31 ± 16.85 and 56.53 ± 16.73 kg, respectively. The mean follow-up duration was 96.49 ± 52.98 months. A significant positive correlation was observed between donor–recipient body weight ratio (DRBWR) or donor–recipient body surface area ratio (DRBSR) and graft function until 1 year after KT. However, this correlation could not be confirmed at the last follow-up. The results of long-term survival analysis using Fine and Gray’s subdistribution hazard model showed no significant difference of the survival rate of the transplant kidney according to DRBWR or DRBSR. Conclusion: Donor–recipient size mismatch in pediatric KT is not an important factor in determining the long-term prognosis of transplant kidneys.

Authors: Salim Amat Agus , Sugati Daru
Published: November 2023

Kinetic energy originating from liquid jets at high speed can be used as an energy source for liquid-gas ejector devices. An ejector is a tool often used to support one of the processes in the industry, such as vacuum process, desalination, distillation, and refrigeration. The ejector consists of several main components: the nozzle, suction chamber, mixing chamber or throat, and diffuser. These components influence each other, so that system performance is sensitive to the performance of these components. The diffuser functions as a dynamic head converter into a static head. Its performance is affected by its dimensions, so it needs to be investigated. This study aims to determine the effect profile of a diffuser with a divergence angle of 2β 7° and a diffuser with a tiered divergence angle of 2β. This study uses an experimental method with a motive flow pressure for the primary fluid of 201.32 kPa. This study found that changes in length and the angle of divergence of the diffuser affect the value of the pressure recovery coefficient and efficiency.

Systematic Review of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in Language Education: A Balanced Perspective
Authors: Qasserras Lhoussine
Published: November 2023

This article presents a comprehensive review of communicative language teaching (CLT) in language education, considering both the positive impact of the approach and the criticisms raised by scholars. CLT has garnered significant attention in language education due to its emphasis on promoting effective communication and meaningful language use. This systematic review presents an impartial and well-rounded analysis of the pros and cons of CLT, citing previous studies in the literature review. It highlights the positive results of past research, demonstrating how CLT can enhance students’ communicative competence, language proficiency, cultural awareness, learner autonomy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. However, other studies have criticized CLT, raising concerns about its lack of explicit grammar and vocabulary instruction, insufficient preparation for formal writing, standardized exams, insufficient attention to individual learner differences, and emphasis on fluency over accuracy. By presenting both perspectives, this article aims to provide educators with a balanced understanding of CLT’s potential strengths and limitations, guiding them in designing effective language teaching practices.

Published: November 2023

The study investigated the relationships on three dimensions of Knowledge Management (KM), Pedagogical Innovativeness (PI) and Transformational Leadership Style (TLS). Design used for the study was correlational and data were collected from 137 vocational educators/lecturers in public universities in Nigeria, this forms the sample of study. Structured questionnaire instrument was used, covering the demographic variables of the respondents and measuring the relevant dimensions of knowledge management, pedagogical innovativeness and transformational leadership style. Three experts face validated instrument for this study. The reliability was measured by using Cronbach alpha method and an overall alpha value of 0.89 was obtained. The data was collected by the authors and analysed. Bivariate correlation linear regression and path analysis via 5000 re-samples bootstrap method was used for analysis. The results showed that knowledge management dimensions i.e. knowledge dissemination, responsiveness to knowledge predict significantly pedagogical innovativeness while knowledge acquisition did not significantly predict pedagogical innovativeness. It also showed that transformational leadership style does mediate relationship between knowledge management and pedagogical innovativeness. The results suggest that knowledge acquisition (KA), knowledge dissemination (KD) responsiveness to knowledge (RK) are among the key indicators of pedagogical innovativeness. The results also suggest that transformational leadership style will not bring about the relationship between knowledge management and pedagogical innovativeness. Based on findings, it was recommended that knowledge management should be encouraged in tertiary institutions as this will enhance pedagogical innovativeness of vocational educators. In addition, management of tertiary institution should employ transformational leadership style for ultima productivity of their employees.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Gamed-based interventions (GBI) in old people is an interesting topic for aging-well purposes, however, few studies exist focused on the assessment of multimodal interactive experience (emotions, skills, engagement, etc), and most of them used digital games. Therefore, validation of analog GBIs, when implemented in the geriatric field, should be completed with a playability analysis. Aim: To characterise a multicomponent playability analysis, considering (i) emotional state changes, and (ii) the perceived experience during the implementation of an analog gamed-based short-term intervention in the institutionalized elderly person. Method: A pre and post-test study was conducted during four weeks of intervention through an analogue game. Participants were elderly people institutionalised in a Residential Home for the Elderly in the central region of Portugal. Playability is assessed before and after the sessions with analogue games, using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (0-10) of emotions and a questionnaire about participants’ perceptions of game-based experience. Results: Thirteen elderly people (9 women/4 men) with a mean age of 80±9.32 years participated in the study. A total of 48 states of tiredness/excitement, calmness/anxiety, and sadness/joy were recorded: 44,4% of participants increased their level of excitement; 66,7% decreased their level of excitement. The serious aims of the game were well perceived while maintaining the perception of the playful and fun character. Conclusion: The positive emotional changes in the elderly might be a sign of self-perceived novelty and challenge in the game. A good perception of the serious purpose of the game is associated with a positive emotional state, which encourages the adoption of proficiency feedback mode in the game. This pilot study was a relevant contribution to the continuing progression of playability analysis in elderly therapeutic contexts.
Computer Supported Accessible Dexterity-Based Board Games
Authors: Heron Michael James
Published: November 2023

Board game accessibility analyses conducted by the Meeple Centred Design project have identified a number of problem areas where there exist no accessible intersection of disability and game design paradigm. While there exist fun and innovative board games for most players, making use of most game mechanisms, there exists no identified dexterity game accessible to those with physical impairments. Indeed, it is hard to imagine what form a game of that nature might take. In this paper, we outline a technological solution making use of computer vision, digital representation, and accessible game design. In its proof of concept form, it serves as a way of making the game Crokinole playable by mixed-needs groups. Future work will generalise this solution to work for a wide array of flicking and pushing based dexterity games, along with investigating how existing digital accessibility support tools can be leveraged to expand the demographic that can benefit from this approach.

Co-design is linked to a range of advantages, encompassing enhancements in idea generation, service or product development processes, decision-making, cooperation, creativity, as well as long-term satisfaction and loyalty among clients and users (Steen, 2013; Steen et al., 2011). Despite its widespread use as a strategic approach, co-design has received less scholarly attention, and critical discussions regarding its underlying concepts are infrequent. The occurrence of this particular circumstance can perhaps be attributed to the widespread practice of categorizing projects as co-design, which may lead to a dilution or confusion of conceptual understanding (Steen, 2013). In the field of games, especially at an academic level, the idea of co-design has been used mainly to describe processes of horizontalizing research design, aligned with participatory paradigms (Brown, 2022; Hall, 1975). Specifically, where the player no longer plays a completely passive role, but co-creates the gaming world together with the designers (De Jans et al., 2017; Loos et al., 2019; Pedersen & Buur, 2000). Or when the games (applied as a serious game) deliver a tool for ideation and the co-creation of projects and solutions to a specific problem (Sousa, 2021). Here, we have invited two of the most prominent duos of contemporary analog game designers – Isra/Shei and Inka Brand/Markus Brand – to reflect on how they complement and oppose each other in this process. Relational and gender characteristics, how they impact the creative process, and the players’ vision of the games created, among many other issues, will be reflected here.

Published: November 2023

The development of the accelerated pace of technology makes people motivated to make new innovations, as well as something that can be controlled automatically. Therefore, we need a sensor that can facilitate human activities, especially in the home light control system. The purpose of this study is to test and analyze the LDR sensor by simulating a software, namely Proteus with different op-amps. LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) is a type of resistor whose resistance value depends on the intensity of light. The method used in this research is an experimental method, namely by conducting repeated tests 10 times for different types of op-amps. The tests carried out here use three ICs that have different types, namely IC LM 358, IC LM741 and IC LM747. The results of this study are the average voltage value generated for the IC LM385 input 2.75 Volt and 4.99 Volt, IC LM 741 input 2.74 Volt and 2.62 Volt and IC OP07 2.77 Volt input and output 2.5 Volts. Of the three IC test results, the largest average voltage value for both input and output is the OP-AMP LM385 IC.
El abastecimiento de agua en la plaza de San Francisco de Sevilla entre los siglos XIII y XVI. Funcionalidad medieval y escenografía renacentista
Authors: Díaz-Moreno Fernando
Published: November 2023

Gracias a la documentación inédita localizada en el Archivo de la Provincia Bética OFM ha sido posible reconstruir la evolución de la instalación de abastecimiento de agua y saneamiento de la plaza de San Francisco desde la conquista de Sevilla hasta el siglo XVI. Entre los documentos destacan los dibujos del proyecto de instalación de la fuente del año 1545, primera representación planimétrica que conservamos de la plaza. El análisis de este elemento urbano, tanto en sus aspectos funcionales como formales, desvela la incorporación de intereses ornamentales e intenciones escenográficas, confirmando la presencia del pensamiento moderno y con ello de nuevas formas de entender el espacio urbano. Los indicios que se desprenden de su estudio parecen acercar la propuesta a la órbita de Diego de Riaño, relacionándola con el proyecto de la fuente para la plaza que acompañaba sus trazas del nuevo Cabildo.
La prenda dialéctica. Apuntes sobre el uso de la ropa en las acciones artísticas de José Pérez Ocaña y Miguel Benlloch
Authors: Campos Pérez Irene
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo pretende reseñar las conexiones existentes entre la idea de imagen dialéctica propuesta por Walter Benjamin y las prendas de ropa que, dotadas de una densa significación, son objetos centrales en las performances de dos artistas andaluces: José Pérez Ocaña y Miguel Benlloch. Ambos desarrollan, desde la Transición, una producción artística que pone en cuestión la división binaria del género y su modulación a través de la identidad cultural fabricada por la dictadura franquista. En sus acciones, los accesorios y la ropa se convierten en fisuras de la historia que permiten rescatar memorias olvidadas; un encuentro dialéctico entre un pasado vivo y un presente que lo interroga. La identificación de los dos artistas con los/as marginados/as, traducida en un interés estético por lo pobre, los emparenta con el trapero benjaminiano, que busca restituir su historia a los olvidados a través de los desechos.
