Reduction of Mental Health–Related Emergency Department Admissions for Youth and Young Adults Following a Remote Intensive Outpatient Program: Quality Improvement Analysis
Authors: Gliske Kate , Ballard Jaime , Berry Katie R , Killian Michael , Kroll Elizabeth , Fenkel Caroline
Published: October 2023

Background

Pediatric mental health emergency department (ED) visits are increasing at 6% to 10% per year, at substantial cost, while 13% of youth with psychiatric hospitalizations are readmitted in the following weeks. Hospitals do not have the resources to meet escalating youth’s mental health needs. Intensive outpatient (IOP) programs, which provide multiple hours of care each week, have the power to reduce the number of patients in need of hospitalized care and provide a step-down option for patients discharging from ED’s in order to prevent readmissions.

Objective

The purpose of this program evaluation was to assess (1) whether youth and young adult ED admission rates decreased following participation in a remote IOP program and (2) whether there were differences in readmission rates between youth and young adults by gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity.

Methods

Data were collected from intake and 3-month postdischarge surveys for 735 clients who attended at least 6 sessions of a remote IOP program for youth and young adults. Patients reported if they had been admitted to an ED within the previous 30 days and the admission reason. Over half (407/707, 57.6%) of clients were adolescents and the rest were young adults (300/707, 42.4%; mean age 18.25, SD 4.94 years). The sample was diverse in gender identity (329/687, 47.9% female; 196/687, 28.5% male; and 65/669, 9.7% nonbinary) and sexual orientation (248/635, 39.1% heterosexual; 137/635, 21.6% bisexual; 80/635, 10.9% pansexual; and 170/635, 26.8% other sexual orientation) and represented several racial (9/481, 1.9% Asian; 48/481, 10% Black; 9/481, 1.9% Indigenous; 380/481, 79% White; and 35/481, 7.2% other) and ethnic identities (112/455, 24.6% Hispanic and 28/455, 6.2% other ethnic identity).

Results

Mental health–related ED admissions significantly decreased between intake and 3 months after discharge, such that 94% (65/69) of clients with a recent history of mental health–related ED admissions at IOP intake reported no mental health–related ED admissions at 3 months after discharge from treatment (χ21=38.8, P<.001). There were no differences in ED admissions at intake or in improvement at 3 months after discharge by age, gender, sexuality, race, or ethnicity.

Conclusions

This study documents a decrease in ED admissions between intake and 3 months after discharge among both youth and young adults who engage in IOP care following ED visits. The similar outcomes across demographic groups indicate that youth and young adults experience similar decreases after the current tracks of programming. Future research could conduct a full return-on-investment analysis for intensive mental health services for youth and young adults.

Authors: Wurm-Kuczera Rebecca Isabell , Buentzel Judith , Koenig Julia Felicitas Leni
Published: October 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Background: Instagram is an interactive communication tool with around one billion worldwide users. As a visual communication tool, it has great potential use in medical education.
Methods: To assess best practices of Instagram use, regarding account promotion, content creation and evaluation we launched the Instagram account “ilearnonco2021”. Here, educational content was uploaded according to a randomized controlled protocol. Posts accompanied the hematology and medical oncology curriculum. ‘Likes’ were used as surrogate marker for interest. Assumptions based on likes given per post were cross-validated by a separated survey on students’ preferences of content at the end of the teaching module.
Results:
49/126 (38.9%) medical students subscribed to the Instagram account, showing a moderate interest. Recruitment to subscribe only succeeded after promoting the account via a personalized email and via the online study guide in addition to official module documents.
Overall, single slide posts were liked as often as multiple slide posts. Combining contents on clinical trials with additional information (comic, clinical images, mnemonic) did not increase students’ interest significantly compared to single slides on clinical trials. Posts of the category ‘mnemonics” garnered significantly more interest (p = 0.01) than posts on clinical trials. Likes per post and follower were significantly lower during the trial presented here than in our previous cohort of students.
Conclusions:
Instagram is a useful tool supporting asynchronous learning albeit not suitable to increase interest in clinical trials. Likes may be used as surrogate marker for interest, results should be however cross-validated by a separate user survey.
Patient-, Provider-, and Facility-Level Contributors to the Use of Cardiology Telehealth Care in the Veterans Health Administration: Retrospective Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Tisdale Rebecca Lauren , Ferguson Jacqueline M , Van Campen James , Greene Liberty , Wray Charlie M , Zulman Donna M
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

Telehealth (care delivered by phone or video) comprises a substantial proportion of cardiology care delivered in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Little is known about how factors specific to patients, clinicians, and facilities contribute to variation in cardiology telehealth use.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to estimate the relative extent to which patient-, clinician-, and facility-level factors affect cardiology telehealth use in VHA.

METHODS

This was a retrospective, nation-wide cohort study of veterans’ use of VHA cardiology telehealth care during the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 11, 2020, to March 10, 2022). We constructed multilevel, multivariable, logistic regression models of patient-level cardiology telehealth use (telephone or video-based care). Models included random effects for the patient, the patient’s main cardiology provider, and the patient’s primary facility (ie, VHA medical center) for specialty care and fixed effects for patient sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.

RESULTS

Our analytic cohort comprised 223,809 veterans with 989,271 encounters among 2235 unique clinicians. The veterans’ average age was 70.2 years, and 3.4% (n=7616) were women. Of the 989,271 encounters, 4.2% (n=41,480) were video based and 34.3% (n=338,834) were phone based. Adjusted odds of telehealth use were slightly higher for women versus men (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.08, 95% CI 1.05-1.10), individuals identifying as Hispanic or Latino versus not Hispanic or Latino (AOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.43-1.49), and those with medium and long drive times versus short drive time (AOR 1.11, 95% CI 1.10-1.12 and AOR 1.09, 95% CI 1.07-1.10, respectively). Further, 40.5% of the variation in a veteran’s likelihood of using cardiology telehealth care was found at the patient level, 30.8% at the clinician level, and 7% at the facility level.

CONCLUSIONS

The largest share of the attributable variability in VHA cardiology telehealth use in this cohort was explained by the patient, followed closely by the clinician. Little variability was attributed to the primary facility through which the veteran received their cardiology care. These results suggest that policy solutions intended to improve equity of cardiology telehealth care use in VHA may be most impactful when directed at patients and clinicians.

ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF CRUSHED CERAMICS IN ADSORBING METHYL ORANGE DYE FROM WASTEWATER
Authors: TIMILEHIN F. OLALEYE , OLUWAGBENGA J. OGUNBIYI , MAURICE JEMKUR
Published: October 2023

Objective: This study investigates and assesses the potential of crushed, pulverized ceramics as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of methyl orange from wastewater. The presence of heavy metals and dyes in water bodies are deadly to the living organisms inside water, in which these pollutants are bio-accumulated and biomagnified in the environment. Due to the health effects of these pollutants, it is, therefore, necessary to treat metal and dye-contaminated wastewater prior to its discharge into the environment in order to comply with the stringent environmental regulations and also safeguard the present and future generations.
Methods: The influence of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration, adsorbent dosage and temperature were studied in batch experiments at room temperature and were measured using UV-VIS Spectrophotometer at wavelength 464 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) technique was employed as an instrument for characterization of the adsorbent before and after adsorption and the data were collected and interpreted using Microsoft Excel, 2016.
Results: Maximum sorption for methyl orange was found to be at pH 2. The adsorption was rapid at the first 90 min of contact, with uptake of more than 90%, and equilibrium was achieved in 60 min of agitation. Langmuir, Freundlich and BET’s isotherm models were applied to describe the adsorption of methyl orange dye. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra of ceramics powder revealed that OH, C-H, C=C, C-O stretching were responsible for the adsorption. However, the effects of different experimental parameters that influenced the efficiencies of the adsorbent have been evaluated and optimized.
Conclusion: The investigation revealed that the adsorption capacity of the powdered ceramics on the removal of methyl orange dye is high enough compared to observed values in literatures. Freundlich’s model fitted the equilibrium data better, while the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the most fitting from the kinetic data obtained for the adsorption of methyl orange dye.

Authors: A. El Kasaby Elsayed , A. Eissa Alnos , F. Essa Alaa
Published: October 2023

Understanding and prediction of engineering properties of fine-grained soils is of vital importance in Geotechnical Engineering practice. Fine-grained soil contamination occurs on a daily basis as a result of industrial development and pipeline or reservoir leaks.Due to the influence of the surrounding condition, substantial damage occurs in the foundations of buildings. The presence of industrial wastewater in the soil contributes to a change in its physical, chemical and mechanical properties, and then negatively affects the foundations of various facilities. . In addition to environmental issues such as groundwater contamination, the changing of the geotechnical qualities of polluted soil is a concern. As a result of the concentrations of pollutants resulting from the businesses such as Dairy products industry and spinning and weaving factories, are extremely high in developing countries. Disposal of untreated industrial waste water is a common problem in these countries. This paper describes an experimental investigation that was conducted to explore the effect of two types of industrial waste water the first type was dairy industrial waste water (DW) and the second was textile industrial waste water (TW) on the deformational behavior of fine-grained soil. Fine-grained soil used in this research was obtained in a natural phase from a soil excavation site for the construction of a residential building in the village of El-Kom Al-Ahmar, Shibin El-Qanater, Qualiobiyah governorate Fig.1, which was exposed to DW and TW at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 months, Two remolded soil samples are generated for this investigation and combined with different types of industrial wastewater of constant moisture content (70%). The Atterberg limits, plasticity index, specific gravity, free swelling, optimal moisture content (OMC), and maximum dry density (γdmax) of each mixture were calculated after 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 months of mixing soil with industrial waste water, the results revealed that as soil matures, the optimum moisture content (O.M.C) and free swelling values of the soil containing DW, TW rise after the addition of pollutants, whereas the maximum dry density, specific gravity (GS), and cohesiveness decrease.

Valor: se pone el énfasis en que la desigualdad en la dotación de áreas verdes es un asunto de injusticia ambiental. Limitaciones: en el estudio no se consideró la proximidad de las áreas verdes a las viviendas. Conclusión: la disparidad en la proporción del área verde acentúa la inequidad en la disposición y acceso al equipamiento público en la ciudad.
El firmamento y los hombres: arte rupestre en Momax
Authors: Hers Marie-Areti , Flores Gutiérrez Daniel
Published: October 2023

El Cerro de los Teocalli de Momax se caracteriza por una excepcional conjunción de elementos: un marcador astronómico y un amplio piso rocoso cubierto de grabados, insertos ambos en un sitio con arquitectura ceremonial. El primero, como instrumento de observación del firmamento, y el segundo, como cosmograma, se complementan entre sí y nos llevan a aproximarnos al estudio de este lugar desde nuestras respectivas experiencias en el septentrión mesoamericano: la arqueoastronomía y el estudio del arte rupestre de la cultura Chalchihuites. Examinamos, de esa manera, la herencia teotihuacana hacia el año 600 d.C. en el marco de la llamada ruta de los marcadores, la cosmovisión chalchihuiteña en la época de la mayor expansión de esa cultura (de 600 a 900 d.C.) y la herencia que dejó entre la población actual wixárika de la Sierra Madre Occidental. El análisis de los grabados rupestres evidencia, también, una época de violencia vandálica que puede relacionarse con la historia accidentada de la cultura chalchihuiteña, en particular, el abandono de gran parte de su territorio hacia finales del siglo noveno.

Pintar pintura. Pintura pura, modernidad y desidealización en el arte de Édouard Manet
Authors: Gutiérrez-Jordano Carmen
Published: October 2023

En este artículo pretendo mostrar que la pintura de Manet combina las características de pintura pura, moderna y desidealizada. La pintura pura significa que Manet intentó eliminar de la pintura rasgos que no eran propiamente pictóricos. Con ello pretendía pintar pintura. Por tanto, era una pintura autorreflexiva, formalista, bidimensional, con luz real y que conciliaba el tema y la forma. Además, es moderna porque procuró ser una pintura de su tiempo. Pintaba lo que veía, su circunstancia temporal. También adoptó una actitud desidealizadora de la pintura y del arte, en general. En este trabajo mostramos que todas estas notas, que pueden pensarse como contradictorias, no sólo son perfectamente compatibles, sino consecuencias unas de otras.

Combined RF-Based Drone Detection and Classification
Authors: Rakesh Meeryalkar , Reddy Dr. G. Venkata Rami
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Despite various positive uses, drones are also utilised for illegal purposes like as drug trafficking, weapon smuggling, and posing dangers to security-sensitive locations such as airports and nuclear power plants. Existing drone localisation and neutralisation solutions are predicated on the drone having previously been discovered and categorised. Despite significant progress in the sensor sector over the last decade, no viable drone detection and classification approach has been suggested in the literature. The frequency signature of the sent signal is used in this research to identify and classify drones using radio frequency (RF). Using commercial drones, we built an unique drone RF dataset and provided a comprehensive comparison of a two-stage and integrated detection and classification framework. Both frameworks' detection and classification results are demonstrated for a single-signal and simultaneous multi-signal situation. We demonstrate that the You Only Look Once (YOLO) framework outperforms the Goodness-of-Fit (GoF) spectrum sensing framework in a simultaneous multi-signal situation, and that it outperforms the Deep Residual Neural Network (DRNN) framework in classification

Published: October 2023

Abstract: Crashworthiness parameters like internal energy absorption and crush force efficiency are the key constants in evaluating the component crashworthiness and its safety in the design of automotive structures for crashworthiness, there is an immense requirement for null strain sub modules that provide a rigid room of survival area for the occupants and deformable sub modules. Which can dematerialize the kinetic energy effectively? The front crash box of an automotive car is one of the most important deformable components which dissipate kinetic energy while frontal crash, which is the most persistent crash situation, affects the entire automotive structural behavior. In this research, quasi-static axial loading response and crashworthiness characteristics of empty hollow tube have been investigated through experimental and numerical simulations. The axial quasi-static loading was executed at a feed rate to evaluate the crashworthiness constants of each sample against quasi-static loading. The supremacy of feed rate empty hallow structures were pursued. The numerical simulation of quasi-static test was performed in accordance with explicit finite element algorithm of LS-DYNA in order to investigate and justify the crashworthiness of each variety of specimens with experimental results.

Authors: Jana Aryyama Kumar , Saha Srija
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Keeping user data secure is very important in the modern era, as there are growing concerns on data privacy across the world. With very strict laws in place such as General data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in California, it has become a necessity for businesses and government agencies across the world to secure data in use, irrespective of whether it is at rest or in transit. Also, secure data transfer is a mandatory requirement for organizations which handle confidential data. Data privacy breach and data leak can impact the organizational value and reduce customer loyalty. In this paper, various methods of securing data transfer using a combination of Cryptography and advanced Machine Learning techniques have been discussed. The high-level idea is that ML should complement the existing cryptography methods used in practice, to build a robust and impeccable secure platform making it almost impossible for intruders to get into the system.

Published: October 2023

Objetivo: Relacionar los patrones de apego materno y paterno del adulto, con los factores protectores y de riesgo psicosociales, presentes en embarazadas de tres centros de atención primaria de una provincia del sur de Chile, durante el año 2020.Metodología: Estudio de corte transversal, correlacional. Con una muestra de 106 gestantes controladas, entre los meses de abril a octubre del año 2020. Las variables en estudio fueron: antecedentes bio-sociodemográficos, obstétricos, funcionamiento familiar, consumo de sustancias, violencia o abuso y riesgo de depresión, junto al patrón de apego parental materno y paterno. Se aplicó análisis uni y bivariado, considerando una relación significativa un p valor < de 0,05, Test exacto de Fisher. La investigación fue aprobada por los comités de éticas de las instituciones involucradas.
Resultados: El vínculo óptimo fue un 0,9 % para apego materno y 6,6 % para apego paterno. Predomina el patrón control sin afecto en el apego materno y paterno, existiendo coincidencia entre ambos padres, mientras que el vínculo óptimo en el apego paterno está relacionado con la presencia de vínculo débil en el apego materno. Ambos resultados fueron estadísticamente significativos. No se observó relación entre los patrones de apego y factores protectores o de riesgo psicosocial.
Conclusiones: Los patrones de apego en el adulto son independientes de los factores protectores y de riesgo. El tipo de patrón predominante es control sin afecto. Se sugiere ampliar las investigaciones en el futuro, especialmente en el vínculo paterno ya que es escasa la información disponible.

Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the legal regulation of relations connected with the protection of personal data in Russia. With the help of general scientifi c approaches — systemic, genetic; methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as private-scientifi c one — formal-legal method, the study focuses on the technical and legal tools that are used for normative fi xation of the defi nition of personal data and the requirements imposed on the operator of personal data. Attention is drawn to the correlation between the uncertainty of legislative norms and their specifi cation in local legal acts, as well as the inconsistency of law enforcement practice. Regulatory requirements are outlined, awaiting elaboration and interpretation. They are related to the unifi cation of quantitative characteristics of local acts regulating the personal data processing; systematization of approaches to the interpretation of the personal data as a concept; as well as the interpretation of the characteristics of the personal data subject consent to their processing supplemented by the latest legislative innovations, etc. The conclusion is made about the permanent process of specifying the norms of legislation on the protection of personal data in departmental acts and local rulemaking of non-governmental organizations.

DINÂMICA DO CRÉDITO E ESTRATÉGIAS BANCÁRIAS EM UBERLÂNDIA-MG NO PERÍODO 2002-2019
Authors: Da Costa Val Munhoz Vanessa , Oliveira de Paula Eduardo
Published: October 2023

Ao tempo em que é amplo o reconhecimento de que o dinamismo do crédito é fundamental para o desenvolvimento regional, ainda há muito espaço para trabalhos que considerem variáveis financeiras essenciais neste processo. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a dinâmica da oferta de crédito e das estratégias bancárias em Uberlândia-MG entre 2002 e 2019. A base teórica fundamenta-se na teoria Pós- Keynesiana, segundo a qual em regiões centrais a preferência pela liquidez é menor em virtude da maior confiança dos agentes, estimulando os bancos a ofertarem maior volume de crédito. Para análise são aplicados cinco indicadores para Uberlândia e para Minas Gerais: i) Preferência pela Liquidez Bancária; ii) Indicador Regional de Crédito; iii) Acesso Bancário; iv) Concentração de Crédito por Agência Bancária; e v) Títulos e Valores Mobiliários /Ativo Total dos Bancos. Os resultados apontam que o comportamento da oferta de crédito de Uberlândia é superior ao da média do estado e do restante do Brasil, uma vez que, além de manter os canais de crédito abertos durante o período de crise, o volume de recursos creditícios ofertados na cidade é superior ao volume do PIB gerado no estado pelo índice desigual do crédito. Assim, sugere-se um forte dinamismo econômico e creditício em Uberlândia.

O escopo dessa investigação consistiu em propor sugestões que possam ampliar o potencial da Auditoria do Sistema Único de Saúde, componente do Estado da Bahia, para o favorecimento da dimensão enforcement da accountability. Para tanto, fez-se uso de pesquisa descritiva, de campo e documental, utilizando-se da abordagem qualitativa, com fundamento no indicador sanção/punição. Os dados apontam a existência de aspectos potencializadores, como autonomia do auditor na elaboração dos relatórios, parcerias com outros órgãos de controle, em especial o Ministério Público, e capacitações para qualificação dos relatórios. Também foram identificados aspectos limitadores, como morosidade nos processos administrativos da auditoria, solicitações em excesso de pareceres a Procuradoria Geral do Estado, ausência do monitoramento dos prazos recursais, não implementação da Matriz de Responsabilizaçãoe não recomendação das sanções administrativas. Apresenta-se um leque de ações que poderão ser adotadas pela Secretaria de Saúde do Estado da Bahia a fim de corrigir os aspectos limitadores do Componente de Auditoria para a enforcement demonstrados nesse estudo.

Authors: Alves Douglas Perotoni , Almeida Helberte João França , Feltrin Rafael Jasper
Published: October 2023

O presente estudo busca avaliar, através do risco e retorno, o desempenho das ações nos segmentos Novo Mercado, Nível 1 e Nível 2. Precisamente, o objetivo do estudo é mensurar se o nível de governança corporativa impacta no desempenho das ações. Para tanto, foram extraídas as cotações mensais de 145 empresas, além das cotações do índice Bovespa e da taxa Selic acumulada no período analisado. De posse dos dados, foi aplicado o modelo CAPM e os índices de Sharpe e Treynor em cada uma das carteiras teóricas. Através da análise pelo índice de Sharpe, verifica-se que a carteira ótima foi à composta por ativos listados no segmento Nível 1, o que pode ser explicado por um maior desvio padrão no segmento Novo Mercado. Ademais, a análise por Sharpe indica um melhor desempenho das carteiras que adotam práticas de governança corporativa em relação às carteiras de mercado.
Genealogies of Nothing: Enforced Disappearances, Fable Lives, and Archives in Erasure
Authors: Islekel Ege Selin
Published: October 2023

This article investigates the political impact of collective story-telling practices in the enforced disappearances from a Foucauldian perspective. I utilize two main theoretical frameworks: on the one hand, that of necropolitics, a kind of power that works on the management of death. On the other hand, that of genealogy as a type of history that mobilizes subjugated knowledges. The first part situates these stories within the framework of genealogy: subjugated knowledges that are buried and disqualified as a part of the work of necropolitics. The second part argues that a Foucauldian genealogical approach to these stories is insufficient: necropolitical archives, when they testify to the work of power, remain incomplete at best and actively erase more often. The third part analyzes these stories as examples of critical fabulation. What is at stake in the insistence of the people searchers to tell their stories, I argue, is the collective emergence of another kind of fable – an act of fabulation in line with what Saidiya Hartman calls “critical fabulation,” which multiplies the possibilities of the present and the past by precisely telling stories of ‘nothing.’
Inhuman Hermeneutics of the Self: Biopolitics in the Age of Big Data
Authors: Gamez Patrick
Published: October 2023

In this paper, I present a Foucauldian reflection on our datafied present. Following others, I characterize this present as a condition of “digital capitalism” and proceed to explore whether and how digital conditions present an important change of episteme and, accordingly, an importantly different mode of subjectivity. I answer both of these concerns affirmatively. In the process, I engage with Colin Koopman’s recent work on infopower and argue that, despite changes in episteme and modes of subjectivity, the digital capitalist present is continuous with biopolitics as Foucault understood it, though it does raise serious worries about the possibility of transgressive resistance.
