Authors: Wang Ying , Wang Zhuohao , Jiang Jie , Guo Tong , Chen Shimin , Li Zhiqiang , Yuan Zhupei , Lin Qiaoxuan , Du Zhicheng , Wei Jing , Hao Yuantao , Zhang Wangjian
Published: September 2024

Background

Particulate matter (PM), which affects respiratory health, has been well documented; however, substantial evidence from large cohorts is still limited, particularly in highly polluted countries and for PM1.

Objective

Our objective was to examine the potential causal links between long-term exposure to PMs (PM2.5, PM10, and more importantly, PM1) and respiratory mortality.

Methods

A total of 580,757 participants from the Guangzhou area, China, were recruited from 2009 to 2015 and followed up through 2020. The annual average concentrations of PMs at a 1-km spatial resolution around the residential addresses were estimated using validated spatiotemporal models. The marginal structural Cox model was used to estimate the associations of PM exposure with respiratory mortality, accounting for time-varying PM exposure. Results were stratified by demographics and lifestyle behaviors factors.

Results

Among the participants, the mean age was 48.33 (SD 17.55) years, and 275,676 (47.47%) of them were men. During the follow-up period, 7260 deaths occurred due to respiratory diseases. The annual average concentrations of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 showed a declining trend during the follow-up period. After adjusting for confounders, a 6.6% (95% CI 5.6%‐7.6%), 4.2% (95% CI 3.6%‐4.7%), and 4.0% (95% CI 3.6%‐4.5%) increase in the risk of respiratory mortality was observed following each 1-μg/m3 increase in concentrations of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10, respectively. In addition, older participants, nonsmokers, participants with higher exercise frequency, and those exposed to a lower normalized difference vegetation index tended to be more susceptible to the effects of PMs. Furthermore, participants in the low-exposure group tended to be at a 7.6% and 2.7% greater risk of respiratory mortality following PM1 and PM10 exposure, respectively, compared to the entire cohort.

Conclusions

This cohort study provides causal clues of the respiratory impact of long-term ambient PM exposure, indicating that PM reduction efforts may continuously benefit the population’s respiratory health.

Authors: Mørk Gry , Bonsaksen Tore , Larsen Ole Sønnik , Kunnikoff Hans Martin , Lie Silje Stangeland
Published: September 2024

Background

Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly being used in higher education for clinical skills training and role-playing among health care students. Using 360° videos in VR headsets, followed by peer debrief and group discussions, may strengthen students’ social and emotional learning.

Objective

This study aimed to explore student-perceived usability of VR simulation in three health care education programs in Norway.

Methods

Students from one university participated in a VR simulation program. Of these, students in social education (n=74), nursing (n=45), and occupational therapy (n=27) completed a questionnaire asking about their perceptions of the usability of the VR simulation and the related learning activities. Differences between groups of students were examined with Pearson chi-square tests and with 1-way ANOVA. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze data from open-ended questions.

Results

The nursing students were most satisfied with the usability of the VR simulation, while the occupational therapy students were least satisfied. The nursing students had more often prior experience from using VR technology (60%), while occupational therapy students less often had prior experience (37%). Nevertheless, high mean scores indicated that the students experienced the VR simulation and the related learning activities as very useful. The results also showed that by using realistic scenarios in VR simulation, health care students can be prepared for complex clinical situations in a safe environment. Also, group debriefing sessions are a vital part of the learning process that enhance active involvement with peers.

Conclusions

VR simulation has promise and potential as a pedagogical tool in health care education, especially for training soft skills relevant for clinical practice, such as communication, decision-making, time management, and critical thinking.

Authors: Seo Junhyuk , Choi Dasol , Kim Taerim , Cha Won Chul , Kim Minha , Yoo Haanju , Oh Namkee , Yi YongJin , Lee Kye Hwa , Choi Edward
Published: September 2024

Background

The advancement of large language models (LLMs) offers significant opportunities for health care, particularly in the generation of medical documentation. However, challenges related to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of LLM outputs, coupled with the absence of established quality standards, have raised concerns about their clinical application.

Objective

This study aimed to develop and validate an evaluation framework for assessing the accuracy and clinical applicability of LLM-generated emergency department (ED) records, aiming to enhance artificial intelligence integration in health care documentation.

Methods

We organized the Healthcare Prompt-a-thon, a competitive event designed to explore the capabilities of LLMs in generating accurate medical records. The event involved 52 participants who generated 33 initial ED records using HyperCLOVA X, a Korean-specialized LLM. We applied a dual evaluation approach. First, clinical evaluation: 4 medical professionals evaluated the records using a 5-point Likert scale across 5 criteria—appropriateness, accuracy, structure/format, conciseness, and clinical validity. Second, quantitative evaluation: We developed a framework to categorize and count errors in the LLM outputs, identifying 7 key error types. Statistical methods, including Pearson correlation and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), were used to assess consistency and agreement among evaluators.

Results

The clinical evaluation demonstrated strong interrater reliability, with ICC values ranging from 0.653 to 0.887 (P<.001), and a test-retest reliability Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.776 (P<.001). Quantitative analysis revealed that invalid generation errors were the most common, constituting 35.38% of total errors, while structural malformation errors had the most significant negative impact on the clinical evaluation score (Pearson r=–0.654; P<.001). A strong negative correlation was found between the number of quantitative errors and clinical evaluation scores (Pearson r=–0.633; P<.001), indicating that higher error rates corresponded to lower clinical acceptability.

Conclusions

Our research provides robust support for the reliability and clinical acceptability of the proposed evaluation framework. It underscores the framework’s potential to mitigate clinical burdens and foster the responsible integration of artificial intelligence technologies in health care, suggesting a promising direction for future research and practical applications in the field.
Integrating Real-Time Air Quality Monitoring, Ecological Momentary Assessment, and Spirometry to Evaluate Asthma Symptoms: Usability Study
Authors: Polivka Barbara , Krueger Kathryn , Bimbi Olivia , Huntington-Moskos Luz , Nyenhuis Sharmilee , Cramer Emily , Eldeirawi Kamal
Published: September 2024

Background

Individuals are exposed to a variety of indoor residential toxins including volatile organic compounds and particulates. In adults with asthma, such exposures are associated with asthma symptoms, asthma exacerbations, and decreased lung function. However, data on these exposures and asthma-related outcomes are generally collected at different times and not in real time. The integration of multiple platforms to collect real-time data on environmental exposure, asthma symptoms, and lung function has rarely been explored.

Objective

This paper describes how adults with asthma perceive the acceptability and usability of three integrated devices: (1) residential indoor air quality monitor, (2) ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys delivered via a smartphone app, and (3) home spirometry, over 14 days.

Methods

Participants (N=40) with uncontrolled asthma were mailed the Awair Omni indoor air quality monitor, ZEPHYRx home spirometer, and detailed instructions required for the in-home monitoring. The air quality monitor, spirometer, and EMA app were set up and tested during a videoconference or phone orientation with a research team member. Midway through the 14-day data collection period, participants completed an interview about the acceptability of the study devices or apps, instructional materials provided, and the setup process. At the end of the 14-day data collection period, participants completed a modified System Usability Scale. A random sample of 20 participants also completed a phone interview regarding the acceptability of the study and the impact of the study on their asthma.

Results

Participants ranged in age from 26 to 77 (mean 45, SD 13.5) years and were primarily female (n=36, 90%), White (n=26, 67%), college graduates (n=25, 66%), and residing in a single-family home (n=30, 75%). Most indicated that the air quality monitor (n=23, 58%), the EMA (n=20, 50%), and the spirometer (n=17, 43%) were easy to set up and use. Challenges with the EMA included repetitive surveys, surveys arriving during the night, and technical issues. While the home spirometer was identified as a plausible means to evaluate lung function in real time, the interpretation of the readings was unclear, and several participants reported side effects from home spirometer use. Overall, the acceptability of the study and the System Usability Scale scores were high.

Conclusions

The study devices were highly acceptable and usable. Participant feedback was instrumental in identifying technical challenges that should be addressed in future studies.

Authors: Algethami Hanin , Alkhrisi Munirah , Alanazi Sara , Abdelmoaty. Ruba
Published: September 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

Background:
The Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a promising treatment modality for pediatric age group especially for movement disorders such as dystonia. Inadequate exposure or education of trainee physicians to advanced treatment modalities may adversely affect timely and appropriate referrals and the ultimate delivery of treatment to the patients.
Aim:
To investigate the knowledge and the awareness of Paediatric Neurology Residents toward DBS as a therapeutic modality for adults and pediatric neurology patients
Methods:
This descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted on pediatric neurology resident trainees of Saudi Arabia from March to June 2024. The study used a structured, closed-ended questionnaire that was distributed online platforms to obtain the responses of the participants.
Results:
A total of 40 residents enrolled in this study; about 65% knew that DBS is approved for treatment among adults while 50% knew it to be approved among pediatric age group. Also, 45% reported to know that DBS has side effects. The largest majority didn't attend discussions about DBS (95%) between family and healthcare providers, operation (100%), DBS programming (87.5%), or DBS lecture (80%). Based on their knowledge the major indication for DBS among pediatrics was dystonia (60%). The mean score of knowledge was significantly associated with advanced academic years (P=0.001) and referring patients to DBS surgery (P=0.02).
Conclusion:
There was inadequate knowledge, awareness, and exposure of Saudi pediatric neurologic residents regarding DBS surgery. Higher knowledge was associated with higher residency levels and higher exposure. Indeed, having good awareness is encouraging as it positively influences the timing of interventions and their subsequent outcomes.

Authors: Werts-Pelter Samantha J. , Chen Zhao , Bea Jennifer W. , Sokan Amanda E. , Thomson Cynthia A.
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Though telehealth has been a promising avenue for engaging cancer survivors with health care and lifestyle programming, older and rural-dwelling cancer survivors may have additional challenges to accessing digital devices and tools that have not yet been described. This study aims to utilize a robust, nationally representative sample collected in 2022 to provide an updated view of digital technology use and use of technology for health in this population.

OBJECTIVE

To examine the prevalence of digital technology use for health-related activities among older cancer survivors in both rural and urban settings. The primary outcomes of interest included: (1) internet access and use for health-related activities, (2) digital device ownership and utilization as a tool for health behaviors, (3) use of social media for health, and (4) use of telehealth.

METHODS

A cross-sectional analysis of the National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey Cycle 6 (HINTS 6) was completed to examine the prevalence of digital technology use among older cancer survivors. For analysis, the sample was restricted to cancer survivors over the age of 60 years (n=710). Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were used to test the association between rurality and digital health tool use.

RESULTS

Overall, 17% (n=125/710) of the sample lived in a rural area of the United States and the mean sample age was 73.0 (± 8.2) years. Older cancer survivors, regardless of rural-urban status, reported high prevalence of internet usage (79.9%), digital device ownership (94.9%), and social media use (66.6%). In unadjusted models, rural survivors were less likely than urban survivors to report that they had used a health or wellness application in the previous year (odds ratio [OR]: 0.56; p=0.04). In adjusted models, rural survivors were more likely to report that they had shared personal health information on social media (OR: 2.64; p=0.03). There were no differences in the proportion of rural and urban respondents who reported receiving health services via telehealth in the previous year.

CONCLUSIONS

Regardless of residential status, older cancer survivors report high internet and technology utilization for health-related activities. These results show promise for the feasibility of using digital technologies to implement supportive care and wellness programming with older cancer survivors.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

In the United States, the landscape of unpaid care delivery is both challenging and complex, and millions of individuals undertaking the vital role of helping family (broadly defined) manage their health care and well-being. These family care partners provide critical and often daily support for tasks such as dressing and bathing, as well as managing medications, medical equipment, appointments, and follow up care plans.

OBJECTIVE

To develop and implement a patient portal-based intervention designed to identify, engage, and support care partners in clinical settings.

METHODS

The project team collaborated with 3 health care organizations (6 primary care practices in total) to design and implement a patient portal-based intervention. Three days in advance of a visit, patients were invited to log on to their patient portal account and answer a brief questionnaire as part of the routine electronic check-in process asking them to: 1) identify themselves as the patient or someone answering for the patient, 2) report major life changes, 3) set the agenda for the upcoming visit, and 4) report on care partner responsibilities. Respondents’ answers to this brief questionnaire were available to providers ahead of the visit. Patients with care partner responsibilities were provided a link to the ARCHANGELS Caregiver Intensity Index to measure the intensity of their caregiving role and motivate care partners to connect with suggested state and local resources.

RESULTS

The intervention was launched in September 2022 at Organization A. Organization B launched in May 2023 in one clinic and June 2023 in the other. In focus groups, staff and clinicians reported that the intervention was easy to implement and did not cause workflow disruption. At 6 months post implementation, across both organizations, a total of 22,152patients had received and 13,825 had submitted completed questionnaires (62.4%). Full data will be reported at the completion of the intervention period.

CONCLUSIONS

Early results suggest that the intervention could be an easily scalable and adaptable method of identifying and supporting care partners in clinical settings.

Published: September 2024

Runoff coefficient plays a crucial role in estimating the peak discharge of a river basin. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate runoff coefficient in the Air Bengkulu watershed based on temporal land cover data and evaluate the existing spatial planning. Land cover data from 1998, 2002, 2016, and 2023, with spatial patterns derived from current regional planning were used. The temporal and spatial pattern-based runoff coefficients were determined using land cover data and spatial pattern function, respectively. Meanwhile, descriptive and comparative methods were adopted based on time. The calculated runoff coefficient was 0.073, 0.093, 0.276, and 0.273 for 1998, 2002, 2016, and 2023, while the value obtained based on spatial patterns was 0.306. Additionally, a general trend of increasing the values over time was observed. Land cover change, particularly the decline of forest areas and the expansion of settlement and plantation, contributed to the rising runoff coefficient. The results showed that runoff coefficient (0.306) exceeded the current land cover, similar to other analyses with higher runoff in the predicted scenario. This research suggested a need for a more detailed classification system and scale to accommodate land cover types with relatively low runoff coefficient. In risk assessment, land cover-like spatial patterns with low runoff coefficient should be placed as capacity other than vulnerability components.

Published: September 2024

With the increasing power density of electronic equipment, heat dissipation technology has become the key to ensure the stable operation of equipment. Because of its unique structural design, the Tesla valve heat sink shows great potential in the heat dissipation of high-power electronic devices. However, the traditional heat transfer model prediction method has the problems of complex calculation and low efficiency. The purpose of this study is to explore a method of heat transfer model prediction based on training neural network to improve the accuracy and efficiency of heat transfer efficiency prediction of Tesla valve heat sink. The heat transfer data of Tesla valve heat sink under different structures were collected by numerical simulation. The data were then used to train a feed forward neural network. Through a lot of training and verification, the neural network model shows good generalization ability and can accurately predict the heat transfer efficiency under unknown conditions. In this study, the effects of network structure, training algorithm and optimization strategy on model performance are discussed, and an improved network architecture is proposed to improve the accuracy of prediction. Finally, the advantages of the proposed method in computational efficiency and prediction accuracy are verified by comparison with traditional methods.
Lecture halls or flipped classrooms: Which best fits today’s digital students?
Authors: Kemma Bouchra EL
Published: September 2024

In traditional academic settings, professors have historically relied on delivering lectures during class time, while students take notes. In recent years, the flipped classroom has gained prominence as a modern pedagogical approach that presents an alternative to traditional classrooms. However, despite its potential benefits, this approach also comes with its own set of drawbacks. In today's digital age, where students are deeply engrossed in their mobile phones and computers, the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model is called into question. This paper aims to delve into a comparative bivariate analysis of two teaching methods: the flipped classroom and the traditional classroom, with a specific focus on exploring their potential emotional impact on students within the classroom setting. Results indicate that students exhibit reluctance to take responsibility for their learning, leading them to favour the traditional educational system over flipped classrooms. Today's students encounter various challenges, including excessive use of the internet and mobile devices, which can result in diminished preparedness for class. The successful implementation of the flipped classroom model relies on students taking part in activities like independently reviewing pre-class learning materials and actively participating in classroom discussions.
A Critical Evaluation of Existential Dilemmas in Frost’s "The Road Not Taken"
Authors: Sheikh Imran Ahmad , Khushi Khushi
Published: September 2024

Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" is a multifaceted poem that explores the complexities of choice and the human tendency to assign meaning to decisions in hindsight. Often misinterpreted as a celebration of individualism, the poem is laden with irony and ambiguity, reflecting Frost's playful critique of his friend Edward Thomas' indecisiveness. The poem’s structure, with its regular rhyme scheme and conversational tone, belies its deeper exploration of regret, the arbitrariness of life's decisions, and the way we construct narratives around choices. Frost’s portrayal of two seemingly divergent paths, which are later revealed to be nearly identical, underscores the futility of trying to find meaning in every decision. The poem invites readers to consider the retrospective significance we give to life's choices, particularly in light of irreversible consequences, as seen in Thomas' tragic enlistment in World War I. This tension between choice, consequence, and meaning ensures the poem’s enduring relevance and complexity.

Authors: Selfi Selfi , Golar Golar , Muis Hasriani
Published: September 2024

This research aims to describe and analyze the profile, level of motivation, job satisfaction and performance of forestry instructors at the Lore Lindu National Park Office (LLNPO). The research results show that the profile of forestry instructors is "young" (under 30 years), and has relatively recent work experience. Currently, their work experience is generally less than 10 years. However, formally the level of education is "high" (bachelor's degree). Motivation and level of job satisfaction of forestry instructors are classified as "good". This means that forestry instructors are satisfied with their work and performance as forestry instructors. The results of the analysis also show that the performance level of forestry instructors is in the "medium" category. However, forestry instructors do not fully understand the planned activities so they cannot be implemented optimally. This can affect the fulfillment of the credit score that will be submitted as a condition for promotion. Based on the results of the correlation analysis, it shows that there is no significant relationship between the profile and job satisfaction of forestry instructors and their performance, but there is a real relationship between the work motivation of forestry instructors and their performance.

Phytobiotics are derivated from the plants which contains active compounds. They produce antibacterial and antioxidants activity and can improve the condition of the digestive tract. Papaya leaf extracts and mint leaf extracts have the potential as natural phytobiotics because they have antibacterial, antioxidant properties, can improve alimentary tract conditions and increase the absorption of nutrients in the feed. The aim of this study was to compare the utilization of papaya leaf extract (EDP) and mint leaf extract (EDM) in feed on the production and quality of quail egg. A hundried and fourty quails of 42 days age were arranged in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replicates (7 quails per replicate). The treatment diets consisted of P0 = Basal diet only (Control), P1 = Basal diet + 100 ppm EDP, P2 = Basal diet + 200 ppm EDP, P3 = Basal diet + 100 ppm EDM and P4 = Basal diet + 200 ppm EDM. The results approved that mint leaf extract reduces in feed consumption, increase egg production and mass and reduce feed conversion values, in contrast the papaya leaf extract ​​produce non-significant on those variables. However, papaya leaf extract was able to increase more white index values and haugh unit ​​of quail egg, while mint leaf extract increased more yolk index values. The addition of 100 ppm mint leaf extract resulted in the highest value of egg production and egg mass. Therefore, the perfomance and quality of eggs in mint leaf group were better than  papaya leaf group.

This research aims to empower and identify internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external (opportunities and threats) factors influencing the empowerment of Forest Farmer Groups (FFGs) in honeybee cultivation within the Dolago Tanggung Forest Management Unit, Central Sulawesi. The study was conducted from March to May 2023, involving 45 respondents from 3 FFGs, each comprising 15 members. Qualitative descriptive analysis and SWOT analysis with IFAS and EFAS matrices were employed. The results of the internal and external factor analyses revealed strengths such as training for FFG members and financial assistance, weaknesses including limited FFG members participating in training and difficulties in securing additional funds for maintenance costs. Opportunities encompassed government support and consumer trust in products, while threats comprised weather changes and underutilization of technology for information acquisition. The SWOT analysis placed the study in Quadrant 1, indicating support for an aggressive strategy leveraging strengths to seize opportunities. Strategies suggested involve enhancing relationships among government, FFGs, and partners, boosting honey production and quality, providing regular honeybee cultivation training, utilizing agricultural and information technologies for product marketing, and employing attractive packaging to enhance consumer appeal.

In Indonesia, commercial management of community forests began several hundred years ago. This research aims to measure the level of social capital in community forest management, and analyze its influence on community forest performance. The research was carried out using a survey method. Two villages in one district were chosen purposively. Respondents were 60 people that randomly selected from each village. The results of the research reveal that the level of social capital of the two communities in community forest management is classified as different. High social capital has facilitated the revival of good community forest performance, which is characterized by high levels of community forest productivity, as well as continuing sustainable management of community forests, the benefits of regulations. fair management and cost efficiency of community forest management. Strong social capital drives better performance. This research concludes that community social capital in managing community forests in Toini Village is relatively high, while in Betania Village it is low. Considering the differences in social capital that exist in society, the author suggests the need to increase parties, especially the government, to support forest management through increasing roles, facilitating the expansion of social networks, and strengthening the implementation of rules to the community.

Coded Perception: 'Out of the Corner of One's Eye'
Authors: Mike Croft
Published: September 2024

The exposition concerns how aspects of perception, mainly visual but not excluding other senses, are encoded within the artist’s drawing-based practice. Such coding is increased due to the artist's use of speech and its recording to eventually produce textual transcripts, and video evidence of the process of drawing while drawing. More inclusively stated, the artist’s practice oscillates between visual and linguistic means, and analogue and digital methods. As research, the exposition questions where and how coding is implicit in the artist’s perception during his approach to his work. Such questioning is enabled by a split between the artist in his reflexive involvement presented as speech transcripts and supporting screenshots from the video recording, and his reflective observation on the content of the transcript as if made by another-person interlocutor. The exposition is presented as a textual introduction and conclusion, between which is access to the full audio-visual recording of the drawing process and a flip-book presentation of the transcript and interlocutor interventions. The exposition's main image is the artist's finished drawing.
Fast- and Stop- frame, and Real- time: video's comment on matters of observation of perception considered through drawing
Authors: Mike Croft  , Safa Tharib
Published: September 2024

The exposition is a presentation of work in progress, also involving reflective commentary, by two collaborators in a research project titled 'The Observation of Perception: considered through drawing', hosted by i2ADS Research Unit of the Fine Art Faculty of Porto University. The collaborators, a digital visual artist and an analogue-focused fine artist, are respectively involved in the research through visual story-telling and video, and drawing and its audio-visual recording. In the present circumstances, each of the works is considered through its video element specifically in relation to several manifestations of time. In the digital visual artist's case, time is formatted through and as fast-frame and stop-frame, and in the fine artist's case, real-time and a psychoanalytical inflection on real, often appearing in the literature capitalised as Real. The first author, who provides the written reflection, is the fine artist, while substantial visual work, a published paper, and some critical intervention is provided by the digital visual artist as a second author. The first author takes as a directive, aspects of the second author's paper, and reflectively critiques both his and his research collaborator's time-based work in their video manifestations. Theoretical references are to the digital visual artist collaborator Safa Tharib, the philosopher Henri Bergson and the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. The exposition ends with a question that emerges from the commentary, as to the applicability of the indexical signifier to consideration of digital as well as analogue practice.
Ancestry – before DNA test – considered through drawing
Authors: Mike Croft
Published: September 2024

The exposition is deliberately incomplete not only because, arguably, this is the nature of research, but due to the author's working with a sense of in-the-meantime, while waiting for the results of a DNA Ancestry test. The research is therefore a preemptive response to a genetics and identity project to be explored through drawing, hosted by i3S, Institute of Investigation and Innovation in Health, University of Porto, Portugal. The exposition presents a degree of drift from a starting-point of family photos processed through drawing by a fictional artist, to a more conceptual idea of microbiological cells of which their content is increasingly fragmented text. As the drawing process develops, the use of coffee-staining is a key medium, its geographical origin conferring roughly with that of the human species. Such drift of content between creative writing, visualisation, and academic writing, is possible on the basis that the author does not as yet have a clear idea of what the DNA Ancestry findings will disclose or how they will look. An after-the-test exposition will follow the present exposition – which is interesting in terms of how such future knowledge will be in the wake of, and responsive to, a stage of indetermination.
