Authors: Bennell Kim , Nelligan Rachel K , Schwartz Sarah , Kasza Jessica , Kimp Alexander , Crofts Samuel JC , Hinman Rana S
Published: August 2020

Background

Exercise is a core recommended treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), yet adherence declines, particularly following cessation of clinician supervision.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate whether a 24-week SMS intervention improves adherence to unsupervised home exercise in people with knee OA and obesity compared with no SMS.

Methods

A two-group superiority randomized controlled trial was performed in a community setting. Participants were people aged 50 years with knee OA and BMI ≥30 kg/m2 who had undertaken a 12-week physiotherapist-supervised exercise program as part of a preceding clinical trial. Both groups were asked to continue their home exercise program unsupervised three times per week for 24 weeks and were randomly allocated to a behavior change theory–informed, automated, semi-interactive SMS intervention addressing exercise barriers and facilitators or to control (no SMS). Primary outcomes were self-reported home exercise adherence at 24 weeks measured by the Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS) Section B (0-24, higher number indicating greater adherence) and the number of days exercised in the past week (0-3). Secondary outcomes included self-rated adherence (numeric rating scale), knee pain, physical function, quality of life, global change, physical activity, self-efficacy, pain catastrophizing, and kinesiophobia.

Results

A total of 110 participants (56 SMS group and 54 no SMS) were enrolled and 99 (90.0%) completed both primary outcomes (48/56, 86% SMS group and 51/54, 94% no SMS). At 24 weeks, the SMS group reported higher EARS scores (mean 16.5, SD 6.5 vs mean 13.3, SD 7.0; mean difference 3.1, 95% CI 0.8-5.5; P=.01) and more days exercised in the past week (mean 1.8, SD 1.2 vs mean 1.3, SD 1.2; mean difference 0.6, 95% CI 0.2-1.0; P=.01) than the control group. There was no evidence of between-group differences in secondary outcomes.

Conclusions

An SMS program increased self-reported adherence to unsupervised home exercise in people with knee OA and obesity, although this did not translate into improved clinical outcomes.

Authors: Krasuska Marta , Williams Robin , Sheikh Aziz , Franklin Bryony Dean , Heeney Catherine , Lane Wendy , Mozaffar Hajar , Mason Kathy , Eason Sally , Hinder Susan , Dunscombe Rachel , Potts Henry W W , Cresswell Kathrin
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

Hospitals worldwide are developing ambitious digital transformation programs as part of broader efforts to create digitally advanced health care systems. However, there is as yet no consensus on how best to characterize and assess digital excellence in hospitals.

OBJECTIVE

Our aim was to develop an international agreement on a defined set of technological capabilities to assess digital excellence in hospitals.

METHODS

We conducted a two-stage international modified electronic Delphi (eDelphi) consensus-building exercise, which included a qualitative analysis of free-text responses. In total, 31 international health informatics experts participated, representing clinical, academic, public, and vendor organizations.

RESULTS

We identified 35 technological capabilities that indicate digital excellence in hospitals. These are divided into two categories: (a) capabilities within a hospital (n=20) and (b) capabilities enabling communication with other parts of the health and social care system, and with patients and carers (n=15). The analysis of free-text responses pointed to the importance of nontechnological aspects of digitally enabled change, including social and organizational factors. Examples included an institutional culture characterized by a willingness to transform established ways of working and openness to risk-taking. The availability of a range of skills within digitization teams, including technological, project management and business expertise, and availability of resources to support hospital staff, were also highlighted.

CONCLUSIONS

We have identified a set of criteria for assessing digital excellence in hospitals. Our findings highlight the need to broaden the focus from technical functionalities to wider digital transformation capabilities.
Carotid Endarterectomy Versus Carotid Artery Stenting: Survey of the Quality, Readability, and Treatment Preference of Carotid Artery Disease Websites (Preprint)
Authors: Strauss Shira , Yacob Michael , Bhandari Apoorva , Jetty Prasad
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

The internet is becoming increasingly more important in the new era of patient self-education. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are recognized interventions to treat patients with carotid artery stenosis. Using the Google search platform, patients encounter many websites with conflicting information, which are sometimes difficult to understand. This lack of accessibility creates uncertainty or bias toward interventions for carotid artery disease. The quality, readability, and treatment preference of carotid artery disease (CAD) websites have not yet been evaluated.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore the quality, readability, and treatment preference of CAD websites.

METHODS

We searched Google Canada for 10 CAD-related keywords. Returned links were assessed for publication date, medical specialty and industry affiliation, presence of randomized controlled trial data, differentiation by symptomatic status, and favored treatment. Website quality and readability were rated by the DISCERN instrument and Gunning Fog Index.

RESULTS

We identified 54 unique sites: 18 (33.3%) by medical societies or individual physicians, 11 (20.4%) by government organizations, 9 (16.7%) by laypersons, and 1 (1.9%) that was industry-sponsored. Of these sites, 26 (48.1%) distinguished symptomatic from asymptomatic CAD. A majority of sites overall (57.4%) and vascular-affiliated (72.7%) favored CEA. In contrast, radiology- and cardiology-affiliated sites demonstrated the highest proportion of sites favoring CAS, though they were equally likely to favor CEA. A large proportion (21/54, 38.9%) of sites received poor quality ratings (total DISCERN score <48), and the majority (41/54, 75.9%) required a reading level greater than a high school senior.

CONCLUSIONS

CAD websites are often produced by government organizations, medical societies, or physicians, especially vascular surgeons. Sites ranged in quality, readability, and differentiation by symptomatic status. Google searches of CAD-related terms are more likely to yield sites favoring CEA. Future research should determine the extent of website influence on CAD patients’ treatment decisions.

Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

Telemedicine has been increasingly used in many health care fields, including home care, where patients receive medical care at home. Owing to the current COVID-19 crisis, the value of telemedicine via videoconferencing is more recognized, particularly in allowing immobile patients to continue receiving care. However, the efficacy of telemedicine in home care settings in Japan remains to be fully appraised.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to identify the use and impact of telemedicine in a singular home care delivery setting in Japan.

METHODS

A retrospective observational study was conducted using patient and other administrative records from a home care clinic. We considered patients who were involved in videoconferencing with home care physicians and telepresenters serving patients during 2018 and 2019. We extracted sociodemographic data of the patients and details of the videoconferencing and descriptively illustrated some specific cases.

RESULTS

In a home care clinic in Japan, videoconferencing was conducted in 17 cases (involving 14 patients) over a 2-year period. Of all the cases, 12% (2/17) required emergency transfers and were hospitalized. A total of 88% (15/17) of cases remained; 71% (12/17) of cases were found to need extra medication or to go to a medical facility for consultation, whereas 18% (3/17) of cases were found not to be in need of urgent attention and were asked to rest. Problematic symptoms subsequently improved in 82% (14/17) of cases, and only 6% (1/17) of cases were later hospitalized.

CONCLUSIONS

Telemedicine was deemed effective for assessing patients’ conditions in the home care setting in situations where home visits by a physician cannot be carried out. Our findings indicate that consultations via videoconferencing are safe and effective, suggesting more active use of videoconferencing in other clinical contexts.

Wearable Monitoring and Predicting System for Knee Joint Fatigue Based on Curvature and Pressure Sensing (Preprint)
Authors: Xin Jiawei , Chen Jialun , Huang Xuanyu , Pan Xiaodong , Zou Tengyue
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

Knee injury is always a trouble for people in daily life. It not only threatens the career of an athlete but also affects a normal engineer through morning running. The injury of the knee joint is found to be directly related to the fatigue caused by excessive exercise.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study was to explore the use of wearable embedded devices to monitor and predict the fatigue degree of the knee joint during exercise, so as to prevent the knee joint from being injured.

METHODS

An economical embedded system with a designed acceleration-weighted curve fitting method was developed to estimate and predict the knee fatigue state. Then the warning message and recommended lasting time were sent to users to avoid excessive exercise. 24 healthy volunteers were involved in the experiments to verify the effectiveness of the system compared to human perception.

RESULTS

Only using human perception to prevent knee joint fatigue had a risk of failure while the designed wearable system could protect knee successfully. It was also found that the knee of female was more likely to be injured than the one of male in intense exercises and a high BMI value could influence the risk of knee injuries during sports. However, a short break in sports could significantly extend the healthy time for knee.

CONCLUSIONS

Early warning from the specially designed embedded system can successfully help people avoid knee joint fatigue and injuries during exercises, such as running, badminton, table tennis and basketball.

Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

During the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous countries, including China and France, have implemented lockdown measures that have been effective in controlling the epidemic. However, little is known about the impact of these measures on the population as expressed on social media from different cultural contexts.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess and compare the evolution of the topics discussed on Chinese and French social media during the COVID-19 lockdown.

METHODS

We extracted posts containing COVID-19–related or lockdown-related keywords in the most commonly used microblogging social media platforms (ie, Weibo in China and Twitter in France) from 1 week before lockdown to the lifting of the lockdown. A topic model was applied independently for three periods (prelockdown, early lockdown, and mid to late lockdown) to assess the evolution of the topics discussed on Chinese and French social media.

RESULTS

A total of 6395; 23,422; and 141,643 Chinese Weibo messages, and 34,327; 119,919; and 282,965 French tweets were extracted in the prelockdown, early lockdown, and mid to late lockdown periods, respectively, in China and France. Four categories of topics were discussed in a continuously evolving way in all three periods: epidemic news and everyday life, scientific information, public measures, and solidarity and encouragement. The most represented category over all periods in both countries was epidemic news and everyday life. Scientific information was far more discussed on Weibo than in French tweets. Misinformation circulated through social media in both countries; however, it was more concerned with the virus and epidemic in China, whereas it was more concerned with the lockdown measures in France. Regarding public measures, more criticisms were identified in French tweets than on Weibo. Advantages and data privacy concerns regarding tracing apps were also addressed in French tweets. All these differences were explained by the different uses of social media, the different timelines of the epidemic, and the different cultural contexts in these two countries.

CONCLUSIONS

This study is the first to compare the social media content in eastern and western countries during the unprecedented COVID-19 lockdown. Using general COVID-19–related social media data, our results describe common and different public reactions, behaviors, and concerns in China and France, even covering the topics identified in prior studies focusing on specific interests. We believe our study can help characterize country-specific public needs and appropriately address them during an outbreak.

UNSTRUCTURED

Despite the increase in use and high expectations of digital health solutions, scientific evidence about the effectiveness of electronic health (eHealth) and other aspects such as usability and accuracy is lagging behind. eHealth solutions are complex interventions, which require a wide array of evaluation approaches that are capable of answering the many different questions that arise during the consecutive study phases of eHealth development and implementation. However, evaluators seem to struggle in choosing suitable evaluation approaches in relation to a specific study phase. The objective of this project was to provide a structured overview of the existing eHealth evaluation approaches, with the aim of assisting eHealth evaluators in selecting a suitable approach for evaluating their eHealth solution at a specific evaluation study phase. Three consecutive steps were followed. Step 1 was a systematic scoping review, summarizing existing eHealth evaluation approaches. Step 2 was a concept mapping study asking eHealth researchers about approaches for evaluating eHealth. In step 3, the results of step 1 and 2 were used to develop an “eHealth evaluation cycle” and subsequently compose the online “eHealth methodology guide.” The scoping review yielded 57 articles describing 50 unique evaluation approaches. The concept mapping study questioned 43 eHealth researchers, resulting in 48 unique approaches. After removing duplicates, 75 unique evaluation approaches remained. Thereafter, an “eHealth evaluation cycle” was developed, consisting of six evaluation study phases: conceptual and planning, design, development and usability, pilot (feasibility), effectiveness (impact), uptake (implementation), and all phases. Finally, the “eHealth methodology guide” was composed by assigning the 75 evaluation approaches to the specific study phases of the “eHealth evaluation cycle.” Seventy-five unique evaluation approaches were found in the literature and suggested by eHealth researchers, which served as content for the online “eHealth methodology guide.” By assisting evaluators in selecting a suitable evaluation approach in relation to a specific study phase of the “eHealth evaluation cycle,” the guide aims to enhance the quality, safety, and successful long-term implementation of novel eHealth solutions.
The Research Design and Methodological Framework into the Study of the Adoption of Decision Support Systems by Knowledge Workers and Lesson Learned
Authors: M. Ikart Emmanuel
Published: August 2020

The method in which Information System (IS) research is conducted maybe considered in respect of the research philosophy undertaken, the research methodology utilized, and the research instruments employed in search of the research objective for a solution of the research problem. Depending on the objectives, research problems and research areas, IS research design and methodology vary considerably, yet basic approach towards IS research remains the same. Whereas the research design defines the structure and strategy for the study plus the tactical plan by which the study will be executed so as to bring empirical evidence to bear on the research problem, the methodology defines the scientific way of studying how the research is done scientifically. This paper presents the research design and methodology into the study of the adoption of Decision Support Systems (DSS) by Knowledge Workers. The paper also centered its discussion on the procedures through which the questionnaire was pilot tested and administered into a satisfactory response rate. Two extreme philosophies namely; positivism and interpretivism were employed as rationale choices of epistemology. The lessons learnt were remarkable. The pilot study ensured that appropriate language was used for scale items and the questionnaire was meaningful and comprehensive. The study underscores key factors influencing the response rate to mail surveys namely; incentives, survey design quality, use of reliable and valid instruments, addressing issues of instrument rigor, timing and administration of survey. The paper makes useful contributions to social sciences research.

Tanggung Jawab Nafkah Suami Fakir Perspektif Mazhab Mālikī dan Relevansinya dengan Konteks Kekinian
Authors: Devy Soraya , Suheri Suheri
Published: August 2020

Ulama mazhab pada umumnya sepakat suami tidak dibebani kewajiban untuk memberi nafkah selama ia tidak mampu. Namun, berbeda apakah tanggung jawab nafkah tersebut tetap dibebankan kepada suami dalam bentuk utang ataupun tidak. Dalam masalah ini terdapat perselisihan di kalangan ulama. Penelitian ini diarahkan pada pemikiran mazhab Mālikī tentang tanggung jawab nafkah suami fakir. Berdasarkan masalah stersebut, maka rumusan adalah: Bagaimanakah dalil dan metode istinbāṭ yang digunakan mazhab Mālikī dalam menetapkan Tanggung Jawab Nafkah Suami Fakir?, dan Apa saja konsekuensi hukum suami tidak mampu membiayai isteri (fakir) menurut mazhab Mālikī?. Data-data yang dikumpulan dianalisis dengan cara deskriptif-analisis. Hasil analisa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Dalil yang digunakan mazhab Mālikī yaitu ketentuan QS. al-Ṭalāq ayat 7. Ayat ini digunakan sebagai dalil gugurnya nafkah suami yang sedang mengalami kesulitan harta atau fakir. Dalil lainnya mengacu pada ketentuan QS. al-Baqarah ayat 231, QS. al-Nisā’ ayat 19, QS. al-Ṭalāq ayat 6, dan hadis riwayat Imām Mālik dalam al-Muwaṭṭa’ dari Sa’īd bin Musayyab. Dalil ini digunakan sebagai dasar hukum bolehnya isteri memilih bercerai dengan suami fakir. Metode istinbāṭ yang digunakan mazhab Mālikī, yaitu metode bayanī dan istiṣlāhī. Metode bayanī digunakan dalam kaitan gugurnya nafkah suami fakir terhadap isterinya. Sementara metode istiṣlāhī digunakan dalam kaitan konsekuensi hukum isteri dibolehkan memilih bercerai dengan suami dengan timbangan kemaslahatannya. Konsekuensi hukum suami tidak mampu membiayai isteri (fakir) menurut mazhab Mālikī ada tiga. Pertama, nafkah yang tidak dipenuhi suami ketika fakir tidak menjadi utang saat ia telah mampu. Kedua, seorang hakim tidak dapat serta merta memutuskan pernikahan suami yang tidak mampu menunaikan nafkah sebab keadaan fakir. Ketiga, isteri diberi peluang untuk memilih bercerai dengan suaminya yang fakir.

Methodological approach to creating an urban lighting atmosphere with regard to human needs
Authors: Turekulova Alina , Kovatchev Atanas , Iskhojanova Galina
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this paper is to assess how lighting correlates with human
needs and emotions and to examine the implications for lighting design. The
complex variables of urban lighting include practical, social, cultural and
semantic elements of the urban environment. The research identified the most
promising opportunities for using lighting technologies responsive to the
basic levels of the human need for lighting. The dynamics of
?LIGHT-VIEWERATMOSPHERE? were applied in order to explore critical areas of
interdependence. To determine the most critical areas, the hierarchical
principles of A. H. Maslow?s pyramid of needs were adapted and applied to
the data. The authors studied the interaction between the viewer and light
technologies in order to determine the most likely enhancements to the
emotional impact of lighting. The ?Expanded hierarchy of needs with regard
to the presence of light? illustrates the issues considered here. The
classification of societal needs is based on an analysis of the emotional
impact of examples of lighting solutions in architectural environments
within a clear social context. A morphological analysis was carried out
using the cross-consistency assessment method (CCA). Criteria for evaluating
the effects of light were considered on 4 basic levels of needs following
Maslow?s pyramid configuration.

In this article we want to highlight some of the most important moments in
the work of Serbian philosopher Milan Brdar so far, as well as to highlight,
at least partially, of what is important for his biography of an
intellectual and publicly engaged person. In addition to dealing with
sociological topics, in many monographs, he faces a number of important
themes in the history of philosophy, so that his topic-related engagement
with the philosophical tradition, from a later perspective, can also be
viewed as an involuntary engagement with the history of philosophy. The
results of his theoretical encounters made peculiar and important place in
the Serbian philosophy of last decades.

Estimation of Leakage Mass Flow Rate through Labyrinth Seal Using CFD Techniques
Authors: Neeharika M , Kumar Hensh Prabhat
Published: August 2020

Seal design is an essential part for turbo machinery. Seal consisting of fins is placed in a gap between stationary and rotating component to minimize the leakage flow. Seal leakage flow has been considered as an inevitable loss factor that highly affects the efficiency of any machine. During operation of the equipment, thermal expansion/contraction of components take place, which causes variation of the gap between stationary and rotating component. Importance of the study is to understand the flow behavior due to variation of the gap. The variation of gap leads to change of radial clearance between fin to metal component and subsequent change of flow pattern.

The main focus of the paper is to estimate the leakage flow through a labyrinth seal placed between rotor and casing of a typical steam turbine. Numerical techniques using 3D CFD tool are used for this purpose. Three different seal configurations are proposed in the study. The variables of the three seal configurations are radial clearance, number of fins in the flow passage and pressure drop across the seal passages.

As an alternative methodology, an empirical correlation is formulated based on numerical simulation results for one set of radial clearance to estimate mass flow rate through the seal. In order to validate the formulated correlation, mass flow rate is determined for another set of radial clearance and compared with numerical simulation results. It is observed that flow rate estimated from 3D CFD study is around 20% lower compared to empirical correlation.

Published: August 2020

This study discusses one of the stages of the research in the development of the Power Electronics Training Kits in the learning process of the Power Electronics Practicum for Electrical Engineering students, namely the validity test analysis. The validity of the Power Electronics Training Kits is divided into three aspects, namely design, media/laboratory equipment, and materials aspects. Each of these aspects was validated each by two validators who had expertise in these aspects. The instrument used in testing this validity was a validated questionnaire that had gone through the previous instrument validation process. The analysis was carried out using Aikens V Analysis. Validity analysis results are interpreted with the product development validity interpretation table by Aiken's to obtain the validity category. The results showed the Training Kits is valid in all aspects both aspects of design, media/laboratory equipment, and materials. The design aspect gained a value of V = 0.89 with a valid category, the media/laboratory equipment aspect gained a value of V = 0.88 which means valid, and the material aspect gained a value of V = 0.94 with a valid category. Thus, it can be concluded that the Power Electronics Training Kits developed for the learning process of the Power Electronics Practicum for Electrical Engineering students is valid in the aspects of design, media/laboratory equipment, and materials.

La pandemia por el coronavirus impuso una situación sanitaria extraordinaria cuyas medidas de contención y prevención gubernamentales implicaron el aislamiento social y consecuentemente por disposición de la UNLP, la interrupción de clases presenciales a partir del 16 de marzo del 2020.

En función de las nuevas circunstancias, docentes y estudiantes atravesamos desafíos que exaltan el carácter complejo y dinámico de la trama educativa y que revelan de manera patente esa amalgama de lo académico, lo político, lo institucional, lo cultural y lo histórico como invita a pensar el eje temático elegido para este relato de experiencia pedagógica.

Contemplar el impacto del aislamiento social en las realidades de lxs estudiantes y docentes nos impulsó a repensar objetivos y horizontes. Y volver sobre nuestras prácticas nos llevó a proponer una reorganización curricular, rediseñar materiales didácticos (cuestionarios, videos de clases) y adaptar los dispositivos de evaluación.

Compartimos aquí los desafíos pedagógicos sobre los cuales reflexionamos, en tanto profesionales de la educación, y las experiencias de transformación que estamos desarrollando en la comisión para Farmacia, Licenciatura en Óptica Ocular y Optometría, Profesorado en Física, Profesorado en Química y Licenciatura en Biotecnología y Biología Molecular de la Cátedra de Anatomía e Histología (AeH com. FOBP) de la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, UNLP.

OBJECTIVE

To compare the cumulative incidences of malignancies and benign skin masses and the mean age at death or euthanasia in dogs with allergic dermatitis treated long-term with versus without oclacitinib.

ANIMALS

660 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

Medical records were searched to identify dogs with allergic dermatitis treated for ≥ 6 months with oclacitinib (exposed dogs; n = 339) versus other available treatments before the introduction of oclacitinib (nonexposed dogs; 321) and with ≥ 24 months of follow-up information available. Nonexposed dogs were age and breed matched with 321 of the exposed dogs; data for the remained 18 exposed dogs were included in statistical analyses. Results for cumulative incidences of malignancies and other variables were compared between groups, and the effect of daily maintenance dosage of oclacitinib on cumulative incidences of malignancies and other skin masses was evaluated within the exposed group.

RESULTS

No meaningful differences were detected in the cumulative incidences of malignancies and overall skin masses or the mean age at death or euthanasia for dogs in the exposed group (16.5% [56/339], 56.6% [192/339], and 11.2 years [n = 80], respectively) versus the nonexposed group (12.8% [41/321], 58.3% [187/321], and 11.8 years [71], respectively). There was no association identified between daily maintenance dosage of oclacitinib and odds of malignancy or benign skin masses for dogs in the exposed group.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated that long-term treatment with oclacitinib did not pose additional risk for malignancy in dogs; however, veterinarians should continue to observe FDA-approved label warning and precaution statements for oclacitinib and regularly screen for neoplasia in dogs with allergic skin disease treated with or without oclacitinib.

Published: August 2020

Gastric cancer (GC) is suitable for immunotherapy because 80% of it display microsatellite and chromosomal instability, some mutations and DNA hypermethylation. Therefore, GC is more immunogenic. The immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, adoptive cell therapy and checkpoint inhibition are discussed. The commonly used monoclonal antibodies are Trastuzumab targeting HER2 and Bevacizumab suppressing VEGF and tumor angiogenesis. Treatment with tumor-specific T cells is called adoptive cell therapy. There is experience with the application of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK). This review discusses the therapy with innate immune cells with anti-tumor activity such as dendritic cells and NK cells. The checkpoint inhibition was also reviewed. In conclusion, it could be stated that the immunotherapy of GC has the potential to provide a more favorable outcome to patients with GC, but it also have some limitations which need to be considered.
Nonlinear Relationship based on Range Quadratic Loss Function
Authors: Sun Zhangjie
Published: August 2020

This paper uses the interval quadratic preference loss function to establish the threshold model of exchange rate volatility by Taylor series expansion, and GMM method to study the intervention behavior of exchange rate. It found that the central bank has asymmetric intervention preference for exchange rate, discontinuous and nonlinear intervention for exchange rate, and there is an intervention threshold, and the central bank has a certain degree of “fear of appreciation” trend. To some extent, asymmetric interval intervention preference has resulted in the rapid growth of China's foreign exchange reserves.
