Facebook Support Groups for Pediatric Rare Diseases: Cross-Sectional Study to Investigate Opportunities, Limitations, and Privacy Concerns (Preprint)
Authors: Titgemeyer Sarah Catrin , Schaaf Christian P
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND

Because of the nature of rare diseases with affected individuals being widely geographically dispersed, finding an in-person/offline support group itself can be a challenge. Affected individuals therefore turn to social networking platforms such as Facebook for online support groups.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to put into perspective the opportunities Facebook offers as a tool for pediatric rare disease support groups by investigating its use, advantages, and limitations including privacy concerns. We analyze group accessibility and usage, advantages specific to rare diseases, perceived privacy, and views on using Facebook for communication between health professionals and parents, pharmaceutical companies, and study recruitment.

METHODS

We contacted 12 Facebook support groups for 12 respective rare diseases with pediatric onset and invited group members to participate in a cross-sectional online survey.

RESULTS

Of 231 respondents, 87.0% (n=201) of respondents were female, 12.6% (n=29) were male, and 0.4% reported another sex (n=1). Respondents’ mean age was 41.56 years (SD 9.375); 91.3% (n=211) of respondents were parents (183 mothers, 27 fathers, 1 other sex); 59.7% (n=138) reported a self-initiated search for the Facebook group, 24.2% (n=56) received recommendations from their health professionals, and 12.6% (n=29) recommendations from someone else affected by the disease. On average, support group members visited Facebook at least once a day, visited and passively participated (read/liked posts) several times a week, and participated actively (commented/posted) once a month. As much as 79.2% (183/231) agreed that they would like to have health professionals as members of the respective Facebook group. Group members expressed more concern about privacy issues on Facebook in general than in their respective Facebook support groups, with concerns mostly related to Facebook itself and nongroup members.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study confirmed that Facebook enhances support group accessibility for parents of children with rare diseases. Group participants perceive a reduction and elimination of distance, a common challenge in rare disease, and Facebook support groups create an environment of perceived privacy. The group’s privacy setting can be a critical factor for active support group participation. Sharing personal information and pictures on Facebook is very common among group participants, which shows the importance of discussing and protecting children’s privacy rights in this context.

Features of cytokine balance with the progression of structural changes in the gastric mucosa in patients with atrophic gastritis
Authors: Mosyichuk L.M. , Tatarchuk O.M. , Simonova O.V. , Petishko O.P.
Published: June 2021

Background. Until now, the issue of the correlation between the cytokine balance and the progression of structural changes in the gastric mucosa remain completely uncertain. At the same time, the determination of the role of cytokine balance as a component of gastric carcinogenesis will make it possible to substantiate new approaches to managing patients with atrophic gastritis. The purpose was to assess the level of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at the stages of progression of structural changes in the gastric mucosa of patients with atrophic gastritis. Materials and methods. The study included 79 individuals with atrophic gastritis who underwent narrow band imaging endoscopic examination. The patients were divided into groups taking into account the revealed structural changes in the gastric mucosa: group I— 7 people with gastric mucosal atrophy without intestinal metaplasia (IM); group II— 16 individuals with gastric mucosal atrophy with IM limited by the antrum; group III— 45 people with diffuse IM against the background of gastric mucosal atrophy; group IV— 10 individuals with gastric mucosal dysplasia. In all patients, we assessed the level of interleukins (IL-8, IL-10, IL-18), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), VEGF. Results. In patients of group IV, the concentration of IL-8 in the blood serum was 18.6 (11.3; 23.9) pg/ml that was significantly higher than in group I (by 5.0 times, p<0.05), group II (by 3.6 times, p<0.05) and group III (by 3.4 times, p<0.05). According to the results of the Kruskal-Wallis test, the probability of a difference in the IL-8 level between the groups was 0.0260. The level of VEGF in the blood serum of patients with gastric mucosal dysplasia was significantly increased compared to that in people with gastric mucosal atrophy without IM (by 1.8 times, p<0.05) and those with gastric mucosal atrophy with IM (by 1.7times, p<0.05). Changes in the cytokine balance towards proinflammatory cytokines were most pronounced in patients of groups III and IV; according to the results of the Kruskal-Wallis test, the probability of a difference in the IL-8/IL-10 ratio between the groups was 0.0207. Conclusions. With the progression of structural changes in the gastric mucosa of patients with atrophic gastritis, an increase in the level of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-8, IL-18 and TNF-α) in the blood serum does not induce the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10). According to the results of the ROC analysis, the diagnostic criteria for the formation of the risk group for detecting dysplastic changes in the gastric mucosa are VEGF level of more than 341.4 mU/ml (sensitivity— 90.0%, specificity— 77.2%) and the level of IL-8 above 14.4 pg/ml (sensitivity— 80.0%, specificity— 78.3%).
Prevalence, clinical course and treatment of chronic gastritis at the present stage
Authors: Osyodlo G.V. , Kotyk Y.Y. , Kalashnikov M.A. , Osyodlo V.V.
Published: June 2021

Background. The importance of the problem of chronic gastritis (CG) is determined by its high proportion in the structure of gastrointestinal pathology, reduced quality of life of patients, and possible complications. The study aimed at the investigation of the incidence and features of the clinical course of CG in servicemen at the present stage and pharmacoeconomic efficacy of bismuth and triple anti-helicobacter therapy (AHBT) in H. pylori (HP)— associated erosive gastritis with the use of domestic drugs. Materials and methods. At the first stage, the indicators of the admission rate of servicemen with CG and the peculiarities of the endoscopic picture of the gastric mucosa were analyzed. At the second stage, the features of the clinical course were studied and a pharmacoeconomic analysis of treatment regimens in servicemen with HP-associated erosive gastritis with proton pump inhibitors of different generations and domestic bismuth subcitrate, used in triple and bismuth-containing regimens, was performed. Results. An epidemiological, clinical, and pharmacoeconomic analysis of HP-associated CG in servicemen at the present stage has been conducted. It is reasonable to treat servicemen with HP-associated erosive gastritis with domestic drugs using bismuth-containing anti-helicobacter therapy, which will improve the efficiency and quality of treatment and avoid unjustified budget costs. Conclusions. Among the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, starting from 2013, there is a tendency to increase the number of erosive gastroduodenal lesions with a predominant lesion of the antrum of the stomach. Pharmacoeconomic analysis of the treatment of HP-associated erosive gastritis showed the feasibility of switching to bismuth-containing AHBT with the use of domestic rabeprazole and bismuth subcitrate. This is justified by a higher anti-Helicobacter activity by 1.2 times (20%), 1.6 times better (60%) cost-effectiveness, and 1.4times higher (40%) cost-utility.

Más allá de la crueldad. La explotación sexual como forma extrema de violencia de género
Authors: Torres-Falcón Marta W.
Published: June 2021

This article analyzes the trafficking of women for sexual exploitation as a gender-based violence extreme form. The review of some legal instruments on the subject and of the modus operandi of human trafficking, based on numerous testimonies, allows us to verify the flagrant transgression of the victims’ human rights, in a criminal sequence that exceeds the limits of cruelty. As a starting point, a definition of gender-based violence is provided, which serves as a premise to understand the course of human trafficking for sexual exploitation. The laws and public policies, which only focus on organized crime, must broaden their vision in order to incorporate gender-based violence and, thus, provide a better attention to victims.
Usos semánticos de la categoría πρᾶξις (prâxis) en tres manuscritos aristotélicos
Authors: Yáñez-Félix Ricardo Antonio
Published: June 2021

On the basis of a study about the semantic uses of the category πράξις (Praxis), which predominates in Greek and in the Spanish translations within three manuscripts of Greek philosopher Aristotle, we could shed light on a problematic aspect of interpretation. This problem occurs when the context of significance of Praxis is modified or changed while passing from the original Hellenic into Spanish.
Therefore, this article draws the attention to the resignificance process by which the referred term used by Aristotle goes through when translated into Spanish, due to concepts that have a Latin context of significance different from Greek. It also draws attention to some of the consequences derived from that phenomenon, for instance, when the key concept is integrated into the poiesis field. The approach consists of locating the word Praxis in one of the theories that gave rise to that word in the Western tradition (referring in this case to the Aristotelian thought) and then showing how its contents are modified in various translations into Spanish.
México: Ciudad Futura (1998)
Authors: Kalach Alberto
Published: June 2021

Rivers and lakes once cemented year after year call out as the most hardened of the activists: the memory of water, whose voice was tried to be silenced by men, is shaped into the floods that take place during the wet season in Mexico City. Yet, despite all those overflowing and mixed-into-the-drainage cubic meters, in the time of dry season the biggest city in the world sees water tank trucks going around the streets due to water scarcity.
With only 10 years to stop the climate change catastrophe, imitating nature is no longer enough. Today, betting on regeneration is urgent. México: Ciudad Futura (1998), by Alberto Kalach, is perhaps the most ambitious project that Regenerative Architecture has given to our country. A sample of how our city would look like, if its nature (of being lacustrine) and all the biodiversity it deserves were recovered, is presented below.

Política económica para el crecimiento económico en América Latina en debate
Authors: Aroche-Reyes Xochitlalli
Published: June 2021

The economic indicators and the financial crisis of 2008 have motivated an academic debate that gains importance in the light of the recent protests between liberal orthodoxy, oriented towards controlling inflation, and the theoretical heterodoxy, which defends economic growth. On the basis of this second approach, a group of researchers of UNAM have demonstrated the negative influence of the internal liberal economic policies, as well as of the international processes, resulting from commercial and financial deregulation regarding Latin America's economic growth, because they reinforce restrictions around financial resources generation for productive investment, necessary not only to grow but also to overcome technological backwardness, slow growth and inequality.

Published: June 2021

Bellow, a critical review of the PAPIME PE 3047171 project is presented, carried out from 2017 to 2019 by a group of teachers and students from UNAM, the Fidel Velázquez Technological University and the University of Oviedo, Spain. The project’s topic is the intellectual independence of the university community, as a strategic factor of the 21st century. Intellectual independence refers to people who possesses the attitudes, aptitudes and context conditions to develop critical thinking and build knowledge. This attribute has allowed humanity to move towards the generation of valid knowledge. Intellectual independence permits people to become agents of their own personal, cultural and socio-economic transformation, through detecting, posing and solving problems. Nowadays, that humanity is experiencing unprecedented health and economical crisis, intellectual independence is what will shore it up, making the value of its development more evident in people. For this reason, this project sought to make an inventory of the attributes of intellectual independence and diagnose the extent to which teachers and students count on it, and on this basis, propose digital teaching materials that promote their development. Thus, the project and its main products are described, as well as its impact at the academic level.

Published: June 2021

Even though law is a masculinized discipline, at present day, it can be said that no profession within the legal field belongs exclusively to men. However, when analyzing various cultural phenomena from a diachronic perspective, it is possible to notice that women, irremediably, are not only poorly represented in those positions in which a higher level of responsibility and decision-making are required, but also It is possible to discover law itself as a phenomenon that is responsible for excluding the female perspective from its different manifestations.
Environmental justice a way forward the deconstruction of property rights
Authors: Segoviano-Basurto Alma Rocío
Published: June 2021

Conflicts over natural resources are already among the greatest challenges of the century. The incremental increase of natural disasters due to environmental injustice is intensifying the uncertainty of life. Currently, more people are being forced to leave their homes as a form of adaptation and survival because of climate change. The global extraction of resources, generally located in territories of indigenous and impoverished populations, provokes their eviction and exacerbates marginalization. A person who owns land and resources may find reasonable to defend the current institution of property right as it is. However, the current system of property rights promotes competition and exclusion for the access to natural resources. This essay is a reflection on why Environmental Justice’s call against racism, is also a call to reconsider the current patterns of consumption, the perception of property rights, and progress. Sustainable Development cannot be achieved if is meant to be only for some.
La intensidad vital del último estridentista
Authors: Téllez Daniel
Published: June 2021

Stridentism is the Avant-Garde movement that compiles the longing for social vindication of the post-revolutionary Mexico. Germán List Arzubide (protagonist of Stridentist group) describes the dynamic and ephemeral Mexican Avant-garde movement –due its short life span– through the memorable and enjoyable pages of the book: El movimiento estridentista. He is also the visionary editor of the group, with the establishment and management of the magazines Ser, in Puebla, and Horizonte, in Xalapa, which is the Stridentopolis envisioned by the Stridentists. Throughout his life, List Arzubide took ownership and promoted the transformative tendencies of the moment that placed the group in its social, ethical and communion concerns with the impatience derived from the Revolution. This text recounts List Arzubide's socio-pedagogical work through social theater and puppetry; his bold artistic contributions; his didactic, political and creative vocations. A vital expense of rebellion, as it was always defined, List Arzubide is an example of the integral revolutionist, of the form and the poetic thing, packed between the social battle and the new aesthetics that the 20th century enacted.

Published: June 2021

El fruto de yaca es afectado por diversos patógenos en la etapa de postcosecha entre los que se encuentra el hongo Rhizopus stolonifer agente causal de la pudrición blanda. Para el control de este patógeno se utilizan fungicidas que dañan el medio ambiente y afectan la salud humana. Esta situación llevaa buscar alternativas seguras entre las que se encuentra el quitosano, con características fungicidas y control dela maduración en diversos frutos. Asimismo, el sorbato de potasio es un compuesto que se ha utilizado tradicionalmente para conservar alimentos. En este estudio se aplicó quitosano (Chi, por sus siglas en inglés) y sorbato de potasio (PS, por sus siglas en inglés) para inhibir el desarrollo de R. stolonifer. Se determinó el crecimiento micelial, germinación de esporas, esporulación, severidad de la enfermedad, así como la actividad de las enzimas involucradas en la defensa del fruto como la peroxidasa (POD) y la polifenoloxidasa (PPO). El resultado es una reducción al 100% del crecimiento micelial y la germinación de esporas con la combinación 1% Chi-1.0%PS, tampoco se manifestó unapudrición blanda cuando se aplicó el mismo tratamiento en la yaca, con la inducción en la actividad de POD y PPO. La aplicación de quitosano combinado con sorbato de potasio puede ser una alternativa prometedora contra la pudrición blanda en frutos de yaca.
A recepção de textos críveis e falsos sobre saúde, a (des)importância da fonte de informação e motivações para o compartilhamento
Authors: Amorim Luís , Massarani Luisa , Baccino Thierry
Published: June 2021

A democratização e o fácil acesso a informação trazem um desafio: o aumento do número e da velocidade da circulação de notícias falsas. Neste artigo, estudamos a recepção de notícias de saúde e a importância dada ao nome do veículo de publicação pelos leitores, bem como motivações para o compartilhamento de tais notícias. Realizamos um estudo exploratório utilizando uma metodologia mista, com um rastreador ocular e um questionário, com 23 participantes. Eles leram quatro textos diferentes, dois críveis e dois com características de notícias falsas. A análise de 24.098 fixações oculares e as respostas aos questionários mostram a pouca importância dada ao nome do veículo e, também, a pouca influência desta informação na decisão de compartilhar os textos. Nossos dados indicam que notícias falsas são compartilhadas por questões subjetivas ligadas sobretudo ao tema do texto, sem preocupação com sua credibilidade.

Schoolchildren about STEM professions: General and gender-specific representations
Authors: Kolesnikova E. M. , Kudenko I. A.
Published: June 2021

The persistent gender imbalance in the labor market - both in Russia and globally - is largely formed during the school years as the period of the development of professional preferences and human capital. The article presents the views of schoolchildren on various aspects of the STEM school subjects, including their common interests, attitudes to the STEM teaching, their role in choosing a career related to STEM, and the ideas of schoolchildren about jobs related to STEM. The authors refer to the Soviet experience of overcoming gender inequality in the labor market, in particular, by helping women to get the industrial and specialized technical education. The results of the search study show that for the majority of girls, especially those not engaged in special education projects focused on STEM, school profile lessons do not contribute to changing gender representations of professions. The authors argue that to change these gender representations we need classes focused not on the academic achievements but on the practical features of professions that are in demand in the labor market. Such an experience is necessary for it is impossible to choose the most promising career if you do not know about it or if you are convinced that you would not cope with a particular job. At the same time, the schoolchildren should understand that some of todays professions have very short future, for instance, due to the inevitable consequences of automation. The schoolchildrens positioning of all professions as gender-neutral can be used for a positive study of career-related challenges and for designing career-guidance activities as taking into account those aspects that are essential for girls and boys, even if at the moment they are perceived negatively.

A jornada da decisão do consumo de música na era digital por parte do consumidor jovem
Authors: Mattoso Cecilia , Genes Felipe
Published: June 2021

Este artigo buscou analisar como se dá a jornada de decisão dos jovens cariocas com alto capital cultural, no que tange ao consumo de música popular. Mais especificamente, buscou-se identificar as etapas e influências que ocorrem na jornada de decisão de jovens com alto capital cultural, residentes do município do Rio de Janeiro, sobre o consumo de música popular.  Para tanto foi utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa com a realização entrevistas em profundidade. Estes jovens cariocas decidem a música popular que vão consumir e em qual plataforma vão consumi-la com base em sugestões de amigos, dos formadores de opinião da internet e na disponibilidade e facilidade das plataformas digitais.  Os critérios de escolha são bastante variados, mas emergiu um critério de segmentação bastante interessante para o mercado, os aficionados e os não exigentes. As plataformas de streaming vão se ver obrigadas a agregar funcionalidades de outros serviços, fora da indústria da música. Os jovens entrevistados consideram suas experiências em outros serviços e plataformas ao avaliar os serviços de streaming. Com relação a estudos de consumo, vislumbra-se um modelo de processo decisório que não é linear, mas sim uma jornada de idas e vindas, com a avaliação e comparação dos serviços de forma mais ampla, incluindo outros setores, com diversas influências e em constante mutação, indicando a necessidade de ter-se mais foco, não somente no entendimento do comportamento do consumidor, mas também nas dinâmicas de mercado.
O Consumo de fraldas descartáveis infantis – os impactos socioambientais oriundos das práticas de mercado sob a perspectiva do Macromarketing.
Authors: Do Nascimento Katia Cardoso , Barros Denise Franca
Published: June 2021

O uso de fraldas descartáveis infantis tornou-se indispensável na rotina das famílias contemporâneas devido, principalmente, as suas características de praticidade de troca e de descarte e as questões relacionadas a saúde e higiene infantil. Este ensaio teórico tem como objetivo discutir os impactos ambientais oriundos do consumo das fraldas descartáveis infantis sob a perspectiva do Macromarketing. Através do levantamento histórico sobre a evolução do produto, buscou-se compreender os aspectos sociais que colaboraram para o desenvolvimento e o crescimento exponencial desse mercado. A partir do modelo teórico de Nason (1989), analisa-se as etapas de produção, consumo e descarte e as consequências sociais oriundas das transações de mercado sobre as diferentes partes. Considerando essa perspectiva, foi possível identificar a gravidade dos impactos socioambientais relacionados principalmente ao descarte, o papel central que os mercados exercem para a abordagem de políticas ambientais relacionadas as práticas de marketing, assim como novas configurações emergentes do mercado, derivadas de grupos da sociedade conscientes de sua condição de agentes principais  no processo de  interação com o meio ambiente e alinhados a práticas de consumo mais sustentáveis.Palavras Chave: fraldas descartáveis; consumo; impactos ambientais; Macromarketing
Rio Anime Clube: a festa dos fãs
Authors: Da Silva Leonardo Soares , Travancas Isabel
Published: June 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar um evento da Indústria Cultural onde a cultura pop é celebrada: o Rio Anime Club. Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de “inspiração etnográfica” no Rio Anime Club realizado em maio de 2019, no clube Hebraica, no Rio de Janeiro. Ela incluiu observação participante e realização de entrevistas. Trata-se de uma festa organizada por fãs e para fãs e suas marcas principais são a coesão social entre os participantes e as “efervescências coletivas” vividas por eles no evento. Este trabalho foi construído sobre uma base teórica que inclui as obras dos autores: Adorno e Horkheimer (1993) para pensar a  indústria cultural, Durkheim (1978) a festa,  Fiske (1992) e Hills (2002) o fandom,  Baym (2007) e Coelho (1999) os fãs (2015) e Nunes (2015) o cosplay. Durante a pesquisa de campo observou-se que as interações entre os participantes, assim como as suas práticas - o cosplay é uma delas -, são expressão do vínculo dos indivíduos com a cultura pop. E ainda que essa cultura seja responsável pelas emoções que provoca estas só ocorrem porque os participantes deixam-se afetar por suas narrativas. Podemos concluir que a cultura pop, responsável pelas experiências vivenciadas no Rio Anime Club, tem um papel importante na vida de seus fãs.

Published: June 2021

O mercado global de bens criativos mais do que dobrou de tamanho de 2002 a 2015 (UNCTAD, 2018), sinalizando o potencial de crescimento deste setor, bem como a premência de qualificação dos trabalhadores criativos. A despeito de algumas características do mercado de trabalho criativo: poucas exigências de acreditação profissional por parte das indústrias criativas e atribuição da capacitação dos trabalhadores ao autoaprendizado/talento/vocação, a literatura tem mostrado que a educação superior tem um importante papel no desempenho da economia criativa. Neste cenário, o presente artigo visa a retratar e a caracterizar, por meio de levantamento bilbiométrico e sociométrico, as publicações sobre educação superior e profissionalização de trabalhadores criativos, no período de 2008 a 2019. Resultados mostram que metade dos estudos encontrados foi realizada no Reino Unido e na Austrália, países pioneiros nos investimentos em Economia Criativa. A densidade média da rede de colaboração de pesquisadores é de apenas 1,3%, o que evidencia o seu grau de dispersão. A base Taylor & Francis Online comporta 70,82% dos artigos encontrados, seguida da Sage, com 19,44%; as duas bases brasileiras (Spell e Scielo) somadas não alcançam 9% dos achados, o que revela a incipiência destes estudos no país.

Critérios de valoração de pinturas: capital estético e valor justo
Authors: Negruni Mauro Souza , Ashton Mary Sandra Guerra
Published: June 2021

Este estudo abordou os critérios de valoração das pinturas, consideradas obras de arte, pelo aspecto contábil, suas normas de comparabilidade em princípios definidos a partir da adoção do IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) e os critérios aplicados por artistas pintores e gestores de galerias. Especificamente, se pretendeu validar a aderência dos padrões contábeis internacionais aos critérios de valoração de pinturas aplicados por operadores do mercado local do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Por se tratar de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória mesmo com amostra reduzida, os achados permitiram trazer à tona a discussão sobre a distinção de critérios e gerou contribuição ao tema da valoração econômica da arte, em confronto com a ciência da valoração dos patrimônios.Na análise emergiram relações que permitiram identificar uma lacuna entre os critérios e a proposição de uma nova categoria: o capital estético.

Cross country evaluation of equity return concept: An empirical study about the relationship between actual and expected returns
Authors: Oswal Sunny , Goel Kushagra
Published: June 2021

This paper studies the concept of equity returns and sees whether there is a significant difference between the expected return which is calculated through the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and the actual return given by the stock. For this study, 10 stocks with maximum market capitalization are taken focusing on 12 countries for our research subdivided into developed and developing countries. The period of study is 10 calendar years from 2010 to 2019. The hypothesis being whether the actual stock returns are significantly different from the expected stock return, for the same paired t-test has been deployed on 120 stocks to check the significance. Further evaluation has been done to check whether the expected return is undervalued or overvalued in reference to the actual return. To check whether there is a significant difference between the actual and expected return across the companies, panel regression was used, and then the same was done to check whether there is a significant difference between countries and also whether there is a significant difference on the basis whether the countries are developed or developing. The authors have existing research confined to particular geographies that discuss VAR models

Objectives: Serum lactate dehydrogenase has been extensively studied in
hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. However, to date, its clinical
usefulness in the field remains unknown. The present meta-analysis has
been designed to evaluate differences in serum LDH values among patients
with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and to help determine its
diagnostic accuracy as well its predictive accuracy in determining
adverse pregnancy outcomes. Methods: We searched Medline, Scopus,
Clinicaltrials.gov, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled
Trials CENTRAL and Google Scholar databases from their inception till
March 18, 2021. Meta-analysis was performed using the meta and metafor
functions in Rstudio. Pooled mean differences (MD) were calculated with
the Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman. Meta-regression analyses, publication
bias assessment and Trim and Fill function were also performed. The
adequacy of the sample size was evaluated with Trial Sequential
Analysis. Results: Fifty-two articles were included that comprised 5,340
women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and 2,890 healthy
controls. The meta-analysis revealed significant differences among
patients with preeclampsia (either mild or severe) compared to controls,
as well as among patients with mild and severe preeclampsia. Significant
asymmetry was noted after examining funnel plots, however, and the trim
and fill analysis revealed that differences were significant only among
cases with severe preeclampsia and healthy controls. Morbidity outcomes
increased with LDH levels > 600 IU/L and particularly when
these exceeded 800 IU/L. However, confidence and prediction intervals
indicated an underpowered sample size for the accurate determination of
the odds of developing maternal morbidity. Conclusions: Despite the
extensive research in the field of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy,
there is still lack of evidence concerning the diagnostic performance of
serum LDH in clinical practice; hence, research should expand in this
direction to evaluate its clinical utility.
User-Guided Global Explanations for Deep Image Recognition: A User Study
Authors: Hamidi-Haines Mandana , Qi Zhongang , Fern Alan Paul , Fuxin Li , Tadepalli Prasad
Published: June 2021

We study a user-guided approach for producing global explanations of
deep networks for image recognition. The global explanations are
produced with respect to a test data set and give the overall frequency
of different “recognition reasons” across the data. Each reason
corresponds to a small number of the most significant human-recognizable
visual concepts used by the network. The key challenge is that the
visual concepts cannot be predetermined and those concepts will often
not correspond to existing vocabulary or have labelled data sets. We
address this issue via an interactive-naming interface, which allows
users to freely cluster significant image regions in the data into
visually similar concepts. Our main contribution is a user study on two
visual recognition tasks. The results show that the participants were
able to produce a small number of visual concepts sufficient for
explanation and that there was significant agreement among the concepts,
and hence global explanations, produced by different participants.
Remembering for the Right Reasons: Explanations Reduce Catastrophic Forgetting

Published: June 2021

The goal of continual learning (CL) is to learn a sequence of tasks
without suffering from the phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting.
Previous work has shown that leveraging memory in the form of a replay
buffer can reduce performance degradation on prior tasks. We hypothesize
that forgetting can be further reduced when the model is encouraged to
remember the evidence for previously made decisions. As a first
step towards exploring this hypothesis, we propose a simple novel
training paradigm, called Remembering for the Right Reasons (RRR), that
additionally stores visual model explanations for each example in the
buffer and ensures the model has “the right reasons” for its
predictions by encouraging its explanations to remain consistent with
those used to make decisions at training time. Without this constraint,
there is a drift in explanations and increase in forgetting as
conventional continual learning algorithms learn new tasks. We
demonstrate how RRR can be easily added to any memory or
regularization-based approach and results in reduced forgetting, and
more importantly, improved model explanations. We have evaluated our
approach in the standard and few-shot settings and observed a consistent
improvement across various CL approaches using different architectures
and techniques to generate model explanations and demonstrated our
approach showing a promising connection between explainability and
continual learning. Our code is available at

Generating and Evaluating Explanations of Attended and Error-Inducing Input Regions for VQA Models

Published: June 2021

Attention maps, a popular heatmap-based explanation method for Visual
Question Answering (VQA), are supposed to help users understand the
model by highlighting portions of the image/question used by the model
to infer answers. However, we see that users are often misled by current
attention map visualizations that point to relevant regions despite the
model producing an incorrect answer. Hence, we propose Error Maps that
clarify the error by highlighting image regions where the model is prone
to err. Error maps can indicate when a correctly attended region may be
processed incorrectly leading to an incorrect answer, and hence, improve
users’ understanding of those cases. To evaluate our new explanations,
we further introduce a metric that simulates users’ interpretation of
explanations to evaluate their potential helpfulness to understand model
correctness. We finally conduct user studies to see that our new
explanations help users understand model correctness better than
baselines by an expected 30% and that our proxy helpfulness metrics
correlate strongly (rho>0.97) with how well users can
predict model correctness.
Ani-GIFs: A Benchmark Dataset for Domain Generalization of Action Recognition from GIFs

Published: June 2021

Deep learning models perform remarkably well for the same task under the
assumption that data is always coming from the same distribution.
However, this is generally violated in practice, mainly due to the
differences in the data acquisition techniques and the lack of
information about the underlying source of new data. Domain
Generalization targets the ability to generalize to test data of an
unseen domain; while this problem is well-studied for images, such
studies are significantly lacking in spatiotemporal visual content –
videos and GIFs. This is due to (1) the challenging nature of
misalignment of temporal features and the varying appearance/motion of
actors and actions in different domains, and (2) spatiotemporal datasets
being laborious to collect and annotate for multiple domains. We collect
and present the first synthetic video dataset of Animated GIFs for
domain generalization, Ani-GIFs, that is used to study domain gap
of videos vs. GIFs, and animated vs. real GIFs, for the
task of action recognition. We provide a training and testing setting
for Ani-GIFs, and extend two domain generalization baseline
approaches, based on data augmentation and explainability, to the
spatiotemporal domain to catalyze research in this direction.
