A Self-Guided Web-Based App (MyDiaMate) for Enhancing Mental Health in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Insights From a Real-World Study in the Netherlands (Preprint)
Authors: Embaye Jiska , de Wit Maartje , Snoek Frank
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

MyDiaMate is a web-based intervention specifically designed for adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) that aims to help them improve and maintain their mental health. Prior pilot-testing of MyDiaMate verified its acceptability, feasibility, and usability.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the real-world uptake and usage of MyDiaMate in the Netherlands.

METHODS

Between March 2021 and December 2022, MyDiaMate was made freely available to Dutch adults with T1D. Usage (participation and completion rates of the modules) was tracked using log data. Users could volunteer to participate in the user profile study, which required filling out a set of baseline questionnaires. The usage of study participants was examined separately for participants scoring above and below the cutoffs of the “Problem Areas in Diabetes” (PAID-11) questionnaire (diabetes distress), the “World Health Organization Well-being Index” (WHO-5) questionnaire (emotional well-being), and the fatigue severity subscale of the “Checklist Individual Strength” (CIS) questionnaire (fatigue). Two months after creating an account, study participants received an evaluation questionnaire to provide us with feedback.

RESULTS

In total, 1008 adults created a MyDiaMate account, of whom 343 (34%) participated in the user profile study. The mean age was 43 (SD 14.9; 18-76) years. Most participants were female (n=217, 63.3%) and higher educated (n=198, 57.6%). The majority had been living with T1D for over 5 years (n=241, 73.5%). Of the study participants, 59.1% (n=199) of them reported low emotional well-being (WHO-5 score≤50), 70.9% (n=239) of them reported elevated diabetes distress (PAID-11 score≥18), and 52.4% (n=178) of them reported severe fatigue (CIS score≥35). Participation rates varied between 9.5% (n=19) for social environment to 100% (n=726) for diabetes in balance, which opened by default. Completion rates ranged from 4.3% (n=1) for energy, an extensive cognitive behavioral therapy module, to 68.6% (n=24) for the shorter module on hypos. There were no differences in terms of participation and completion rates of the modules between study participants with a more severe profile, that is, lower emotional well-being, greater diabetes distress, or more fatigue symptoms, and those with a less severe profile. Further, no technical problems were reported, and various suggestions were made by study participants to improve the application, suggesting a need for more personalization.

CONCLUSIONS

Data from this naturalistic study demonstrated the potential of MyDiaMate as a self-help tool for adults with T1D, supplementary to ongoing diabetes care, to improve healthy coping with diabetes and mental health. Future research is needed to explore engagement strategies and test the efficacy of MyDiaMate in a randomized controlled trial.
Design and Treatment Case Analysis of Continuous T-beam External Prestressed Composite Reinforcement Based on Finite Element Model Calculation
Authors: Xu Ying
Published: April 2024

The second section of a highway bridge is a 3×30m prestressed concrete continuous T-beam, of which the 5th span 4# T-beam was found to have multiple structural cracks, such as U-shaped cracks and vertical cracks, during regular inspections after one year of operation. Analysis has shown that this was attributed to the fact that the insufficient prestressing during construction caused inadequate prestressing in the beam body. In this sudy, Midas/Civil software is utilized to establish a spatial finite element model to estimate the loss of prestress in damaged T-beams, yielding results consistent with the inspected conditions. On this basis, an external prestressing reinforcement design plan is proposed. The innovative plan considers the impact of reinforcement on the hogging moment of continuous T-beams and optimizes the layout of prestressed steel strands. The layout and fixing methods of steel turning blocks and anchoring blocks are also optimized in accordance with the stress characteristics of continuous T-beams, with the bearing capacity and safety reserve improved. After checking and analyzing the crack width of the reinforced T-beam, it was found that the plan fully meets the requirements for prestressed concrete Class A components. According to plan, the damaged T-beam was repaired and reinforced, and continuous observation of the reinforced T-beam was conducted for two years. No new development of bridge defects was observed in the later stages, indicating a satisfactory reinforcement effect. This provides technical reference for similar projects.

Fake Review Detection using BERT Transfer Learning Algorithm
Authors: Boobalan P.
Published: April 2024

Abstract: In this research, our main focus is on tackling the issue of fake online reviews, which has become increasingly prevalent due to the vast amount of content generated by users on various online platforms. These reviews have a big impact on what people decide to buy, emphasizing how important it is for them to be real and trustworthy. However, the rise in fake reviews has cast a shadow of doubt over the credibility of online platforms, making it imperative to find effective ways to discern the real from the fake. To address this challenge, we propose a strong model that utilizes the capabilities of advanced deep learning algorithms—BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Networks (BiLSTMs)—to accurately identify and filter out fake reviews. BERT excels in understanding the nuances of language and BiLSTMs effectively capture the order of words and phrases. Our plan involves training and validating this model using datasets sourced from reputable platform like Kaggle. By amalgamating these powerful algorithms and datasets, we aim to significantly enhance the accuracy and credibility of our fake review detection system. Ultimately, our goal is to restore consumer trust and empower individuals to make more informed choices in the expansive realm of online consumerism.

A study on Expressive Charateristics of Humane Sensibility in Post-Modern Architecture
Authors:   Residential Environment Institute Of Korea, Lee Seonggo , Cho Mikyu , Lee Sanghwa
Published: April 2024

Since the 1960s, Post-Modernism has evolved by critiquing the shortcomings of modernist regimes such as industrial capitalism, elitism, and mechanization, which were emphasized during the modern era. Multi-culturalism in the 1970s emerged with the motivation to inclusively recognize existing social contradictions and differences, aiming to reflect them in reality. Post-Modernism is the overlay of tradition, modernity, and humanistic sensibilities within a single culture. It views the contemporary world not as characterized by a singular dominant worldview or ideology, but rather as operating with a simultaneous interconnection of diverse values, perceptions, and ideologies. Therefore, this study reveals that the major trend in contemporary architecture has evolved towards strongly reflecting postmodern characteristics over time, based on design elements rooted in humanistic sensibility.

Authors: Islami Rahmatan , Taib Eva Nauli , Zuraidah Zuraidah
Published: April 2024

Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are wood fungi that grow sideways on rotting wood stems. Mushrooms take food that has been made by other dead organisms (saprophyte), because they do not have chlorophyll, all types of saprophyte, especially those that grow on wood, can be easily cultivated. White oyster mushroom cultivation is easy to do because it does not require expensive maintenance costs and does not require spacious land. The aim of this research was to test the effect of using sago dregs and dried banana leaves on the growth of white oyster mushrooms. The results of this research indicate that there are differences in the growth of white oyster mushrooms based on different concentrations of growing media. The average mycelium growth, stem height, pileus diameter, number of fruit bodies, wet weight and dry weight of the best white oyster mushrooms were found in media with a concentration of 100% sawdust, while pind heads appeared in a concentration of 100% sago dregs

Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the formation of a universal definition of such a civil law category as risk. The relevance of this topic is due to the vastness of the spread of risks in civil legal relations in the absence of their legal definition in civil law. Within the scope of the article, the author considers approaches to the definition of the concept of «risk» through the prism of linguistic, general philosophical and civil law understanding. Particular attention is paid to the study of the basic theories of civil risk. The author expresses the idea of the applicability of the definitions of civil law risk formed within these concepts in relation to its individual varieties, regulated by the norms of the current civil legislation. The article also touches upon the issue of the appointment of legal norms governing civil risks, emphasizing their distributive nature. In conclusion, the author presents for consideration the formulated general definition of risk as a civil law category. In addition, the author draws attention to the need for a fair distribution of civil law risks with the obligatory consideration of private and public (public) interests.
The right to derogation*
Authors:   Кабардино-Балкарский государственный университет им. Х. М. Бербекова, Нальчик, Россия, Муаед Лялюевич Хабачиров
Published: April 2024

The article systematically outlines possible conventional and other normative cases and conditions for the application of derogatory measures provided for by the main international human rights treaties and the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The author notes that international human rights treaties allow States parties to introduce, under certain conditions, legal norms restricting the application of certain rights, as well as in the event of emergency circumstances on their territory, to deviate from fulfilling their international obligations to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms and suspend their national legislation in this area. Derogatory measures are taken only to the extent necessary for the State in the interests of its security, but they should not contradict obligations arising from general international law. The article states that for the modern development of Russia, the interpretation of the norms of international law on derogation, the grounds used in it and the limits of limitation of rights are of great legal and practical importance. In the event of a state of emergency in a country or in some of its regions, the protection of human rights, albeit with some exceptions dictated by special circumstances, is still among the international obligations of the State.

Teaching materials in the form of package books allow teacher center learning-based learning activities or learning carried out in one direction, where educators act as the core benchmark that provides material in learning. Therefore, the need for teaching materials that allow students to learn independently so that learning results are obtained optimally, especially in learning to write fable texts, one of which is teaching materials in the form of electronic modules. The purpose of this study was to find out how students respond to the use of Canva application-assisted electronic modules in learning fable texts in junior high school. The method used is qualitative descriptive with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire. The use of electronic modules was responded very well by students, it can be seen from the final results of data processing that there were 90.22% of responses that stated positive, the highest results were obtained in the third statement with a percentage of 97.71% and the first and fifth statements with a percentage of 96%.

This research is motivated by the many students who are still wrong in using punctuation when writing an essay. Many of the writings were untidy, imperfect and ambiguous, so the researcher wanted to know the level of punctuation errors experienced by students in class IX-B. This study uses a qualitative method that is descriptive, namely by describing 15 short stories by class IX-B students of SMPN 02 Cililin which have been analyzed on the use of full stop (.), comma (,), punctuation, writing names, writing foreign sentences, and initial writing of sentences. The problem discussed is whether or not the use of punctuation marks is correct in this collection of short stories. The purpose of this study is to find out punctuation errors when writing a short story. Based on the results of the discussion, it is known that there are still many students who have not been able to place punctuation marks properly and correctly, especially in the use of commas, periods, and writing names.

The real problems in the field found that the learning activities of this procedure text are still less effective in using learning media in general, seen from the results of observations by interviewing students that students feel bored with learning procedure text because the learning media used only use textbooks that contain text and theory only. The purpose of this study was to determine the response of students after applying video learning media and applying contextual learning methods which are learning concepts to help teachers connect material with applications in everyday life. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, based on the research that has been done, the author uses a questionnaire instrument to find out the students' response to the procedure text material using video-based learning media, the research subject is SMPN 3 BATUJAJAR students, the population in this study are class VII A students with a total of 25 students, the following student questionnaire results get a percentage of 75.2%, thus it can be concluded that the application of learning methods and camtasia application learning media gets a positive response from students.
An Online Updated Linear Power Flow Model Based on Regression Learning
Authors: An Molin , Lu Tianguang , Han Xueshan
Published: April 2024

An online updated data-driven linear power flow (LPF) model based on
regression learning is proposed in this paper. We obtain a quadratic
power flow model through regression learning first, and then derive the
normal and incremental forms of LPF models by Taylor expansion. The
parameters of LPF model are updated online, which improves the
generalization ability. After only one initial regression learning, the
proposed data-driven LPF model avoids model retraining when updated. The
new parameter of the proposed model is simply calculated according to
the real-time measurement data. Therefore, the LPF model we proposed is
accurate, generalizable, and greatly minimizes the data consumption and
running time. Performance analysis verifies the superiority of the
proposed method.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the specificity of marketing activities of the city, which is an academic center, aimed at students. Methods: The study covered the city of Lublin. The literature on the sub­ject was analyzed, and the benefits for the development of cities resulting from the presence of students were indicated. Based on the analysis of the Lublin Development Strategy for 2013–2020 and its implementation, promotional activities in shaping the city’s academic character were presented. Using the results of the sur­vey, students’ opinions on the promotional activities are presented. Results: Students are an important target group for promotional activities in the city of Lublin. The authorities undertake several activities aimed at im­proving the quality of education, cooperation between universities, improving the quality of life of students, or creating the atmosphere of an academic city. Students perceive the city of Lublin as conducive to studying. Conclusions: In order to better use the development potential associated with the presence of students, the Lublin authorities should strengthen information activities aimed at retaining students after graduation.

Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the financial health of dairy cooperatives in relation to their credit position and trade credit strategy. Methods: Using the author’s synthetic indicator, the position and strategy for granting trade credit were determined, and the levels of profitability, liquidity, debt, and management efficiency were assessed in separate groups of entities: conservative, moderate, and aggressive recipients, versus conservative, moderate, and aggressive providers. The research carried out in the field of trade credit management at dairy cooperatives allowed us to establish that the financial position of the analyzed entities varied depending on their credit position and trade credit strategy. Results: The highest level of ROE was found in the group of entities categorized as conservative recipients, where this indicator was 11.1%. Simi­larly, the group of moderate providers also had a high level of 7.1%. On the other hand, the lowest level was found in the return on sales indicator, which was 0.3% and 0.4% in the moderate recipient and aggressive provider groups, respectively. Additionally, cooperatives following a conservative trade credit strategy had a higher level of return on sales compared to the cooperatives classified in the aggressive provider group. Conclusions: The profitability of assets, funds, and sales, as well as the level of liquidity, varied among the distinguished group of cooperatives based on their position and commercial credit strategy. However, there was no variation observed in terms of the level of indebtedness.

Objectives

To evaluate leveling of the Curve of Wilson (COW) by two different treatment appliances (clear aligners [CA] and continuous archwire fixed appliances [FA]) in a permanent dentition sample of patients.

Materials and Methods

Digital casts of 40 patients (CA group = 20 patients; FA group = 20 patients) were collected. Angular values for COW, right and left vertical height difference of lower first molars, and linear distance between lower teeth and the WALA ridge were analyzed for pre- (T1), posttreatment (T2) and on final virtual (ClinCheck) models (T2-CC) of the CA group. An unpaired t-test was used to evaluate significant intergroup differences (P < .05), while a paired t-test was used for posttreatment CA intragroup comparison.

Results

FA group showed better control of second molar crown positions compared to CA group (47-WALA = −0.2 ± 0.1 mm, 37-WALA = −0.6 ± 0.3 mm). No significant difference was detected for linear distance of lower first molars and the WALA ridge or for vertical height difference. CA group showed a greater reduction of distance between lower premolars and the WALA ridge (mean difference: –0.5 mm for both 45-WALA and 35-WALA; mean difference: −0.5 mm for 44-WALA, −0.6 mm for 34-WALA). Predictability for the CA group was high for every measurement (87% Right COW, 89% Left COW, 88% 46 Vertical Diff, 87% 36 Vertical Diff).

Conclusions

Clear aligner and continuous archwire mechanics were effective in leveling COW. FA was more effective in changing crown position of lower second molars with respect to the WALA ridge, while CA provided a greater distance reduction between lower premolars and WALA ridges compared to FA.
Non-Dairy Probiotic Drinks: An Underutilized Alternative
Authors: VO Oyetayo
Published: April 2024

Probiotics are live microbial dietary adjuvant that when consumed in adequate amount beneficially affects the host physiology by improving immunity and maintaining balance in the intestinal tract. Recently, awareness of the health benefits of consuming microorganisms as probiotics has increased. Probiotic foods are categorized as functional food, which are foods, or food ingredients that may provide a health benefit beyond their nutritional composition. The efficacy of probiotics largely depends on the amount consumed and the viability of the cells in the food matrix. To this effect, different types of foods were proposed as a carrier for probiotic cells, of all these foods, dairy products offer the most suitable environment for probiotic viability and growth. However, dairy-based probiotic drinks have one or two limitations in term of cost and being unsuitable for lactose intolerant individuals. Considering these limitations, other non-dairy-based food matrices such as malt-based beverages, fruit juices, cereals, vegetables, and some underutilized and under-exploited plants have been suggested as an alternative. One major challenge of using these non-dairy vehicles for delivery of probiotics is the stereotypic nature of people’s thoughts, and taste regarding dairy-based probiotics which has influenced their acceptability and consumption. This review is therefore meant to provide more information on these non-dairy based underutilized alternatives and possible ways to improve its general acceptability.
