Published: June 2024

Posyandu plays a central role in organizing primary healthcare services in Indonesia. Posyandu cadres, as the primary agents providing education to mothers, aim to create healthy and happy families. Family happiness is not only related to physical health but also involves psychological and social dimensions. This research was conducted to enhance the capacity and understanding of the concept of "happy mother" in the context of a happy family among 49 Posyandu cadres in Malang City. The training approach adopted includes lectures, group discussions, and assessments to measure changes in the understanding of Posyandu cadres. The results of pre and post-tests indicate a significant improvement in the understanding of Posyandu cadres regarding the concepts of a happy mother and a happy family, increasing from a score of 54.5 to 79. With a deeper understanding, Posyandu cadres are expected to provide more comprehensive support. The increased capacity of Posyandu cadres also provides opportunities for them to design and implement more effective educational programs on the concepts of a happy mother and a happy family. Therefore, it is anticipated that these efforts will bring about a significantly positive impact on the overall well-being of families and the community.

Trust but Verify: Lessons Learned for the Application of AI to Case-Based Clinical Decision-Making From Postmarketing Drug Safety Assessment at the US Food and Drug Administration
Authors: Ball Robert , Talal Andrew H , Dang Oanh , Muñoz Monica , Markatou Marianthi
Published: June 2024

Adverse drug reactions are a common cause of morbidity in health care. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluates individual case safety reports of adverse events (AEs) after submission to the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System as part of its surveillance activities. Over the past decade, the FDA has explored the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to evaluate these reports to improve the efficiency and scientific rigor of the process. However, a gap remains between AI algorithm development and deployment. This viewpoint aims to describe the lessons learned from our experience and research needed to address both general issues in case-based reasoning using AI and specific needs for individual case safety report assessment. Beginning with the recognition that the trustworthiness of the AI algorithm is the main determinant of its acceptance by human experts, we apply the Diffusion of Innovations theory to help explain why certain algorithms for evaluating AEs at the FDA were accepted by safety reviewers and others were not. This analysis reveals that the process by which clinicians decide from case reports whether a drug is likely to cause an AE is not well defined beyond general principles. This makes the development of high performing, transparent, and explainable AI algorithms challenging, leading to a lack of trust by the safety reviewers. Even accounting for the introduction of large language models, the pharmacovigilance community needs an improved understanding of causal inference and of the cognitive framework for determining the causal relationship between a drug and an AE. We describe specific future research directions that underpin facilitating implementation and trust in AI for drug safety applications, including improved methods for measuring and controlling of algorithmic uncertainty, computational reproducibility, and clear articulation of a cognitive framework for causal inference in case-based reasoning.
Web-Based Intervention (SunnysideFlex) to Promote Resilience to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms During Pregnancy: Development and Pilot Study
Authors: Paltell Katherine C , Duffecy Jennifer , Maki Pauline M , Edalatian Zakeri Shiva , Vujanovic Anka A , Berenz Erin C
Published: June 2024

Background

Approximately 4% to 8% of pregnant individuals meet the criteria for current posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a known risk factor for a multitude of adverse maternal and child health outcomes. However, PTSD is rarely detected or treated in obstetric settings. Moreover, available prenatal PTSD treatments require in-person services that are often inaccessible due to barriers to care. Thus, web-based interventions offer great potential in extending PTSD treatment to high-risk pregnant individuals by providing affordable, accessible care. However, there are currently no web-based interventions designed specifically for the treatment of PTSD symptoms during pregnancy.

Objective

This study aims to develop and pilot a 6-week, web-based, cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for PTSD, SunnysideFlex, in a sample of 10 pregnant women with current probable PTSD. Consistent with established guidelines for developing and testing novel interventions, the focus of this pilot study was to evaluate the initial feasibility and acceptability of the SunnysideFlex intervention and preintervention to postintervention changes in PTSD and depression symptoms. This approach will allow for early refinement and optimization of the SunnysideFlex intervention to increase the odds of success in a larger-scale clinical trial.

Methods

The SunnysideFlex intervention adapted an existing web-based platform for postpartum depression, Sunnyside for Moms, to include revised, trauma-focused content. A total of 10 pregnant women in weeks 16 to 28 of their pregnancy who reported lifetime interpersonal trauma exposure (ie, sexual or physical assault) and with current probable PTSD (scores ≥33 per the PTSD checklist for DSM-5) were enrolled in the SunnysideFlex intervention. Assessments took place at baseline and 6 weeks (postintervention).

Results

All participants were retained through the postintervention assessment period. Engagement was high; participants on average accessed 90% of their lessons, logged on to the platform at least weekly, and reported a generally positive user experience. Moreover, 80% (8/10) of participants demonstrated clinically meaningful reductions in PTSD symptoms from baseline to postintervention, and 50% (5/10) of participants no longer screened positive for probable PTSD at postintervention. Most (6/10, 60%) of the participants maintained subclinical depression symptoms from baseline to postintervention.

Conclusions

Findings from this small pilot study indicate that SunnysideFlex may be a feasible and acceptable mechanism for delivering PTSD intervention to high-risk, trauma-exposed pregnant women who might otherwise not have opportunities for services. Larger-scale trials of the intervention are necessary to better understand the impact of SunnysideFlex on PTSD symptoms during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Event Analysis for Automated Estimation of Absent and Persistent Medication Alerts: Novel Methodology
Authors: Bittmann Janina A , Scherkl Camilo , Meid Andreas D , Haefeli Walter E , Seidling Hanna M
Published: June 2024

Background

Event analysis is a promising approach to estimate the acceptance of medication alerts issued by computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems with an integrated clinical decision support system (CDSS), particularly when alerts cannot be interactively confirmed in the CPOE-CDSS due to its system architecture. Medication documentation is then reviewed for documented evidence of alert acceptance, which can be a time-consuming process, especially when performed manually.

Objective

We present a new automated event analysis approach, which was applied to a large data set generated in a CPOE-CDSS with passive, noninterruptive alerts.

Methods

Medication and alert data generated over 3.5 months within the CPOE-CDSS at Heidelberg University Hospital were divided into 24-hour time intervals in which the alert display was correlated with associated prescription changes. Alerts were considered “persistent” if they were displayed in every consecutive 24-hour time interval due to a respective active prescription until patient discharge and were considered “absent” if they were no longer displayed during continuous prescriptions in the subsequent interval.

Results

Overall, 1670 patient cases with 11,428 alerts were analyzed. Alerts were displayed for a median of 3 (IQR 1-7) consecutive 24-hour time intervals, with the shortest alerts displayed for drug-allergy interactions and the longest alerts displayed for potentially inappropriate medication for the elderly (PIM). Among the total 11,428 alerts, 56.1% (n=6413) became absent, most commonly among alerts for drug-drug interactions (1915/2366, 80.9%) and least commonly among PIM alerts (199/499, 39.9%).

Conclusions

This new approach to estimate alert acceptance based on event analysis can be flexibly adapted to the automated evaluation of passive, noninterruptive alerts. This enables large data sets of longitudinal patient cases to be processed, allows for the derivation of the ratios of persistent and absent alerts, and facilitates the comparison and prospective monitoring of these alerts.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

More than half (55%) of Latina women do not meet aerobic physical activity (PA) guidelines, and frequently cite time, childcare, and transportation as barriers to PA. In addition to linguistic adaptations for this population, successful PA interventions for Latina women addressed these barriers through remote intervention delivery approaches (eg, mail, phone, or web delivery).

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to evaluate 6-month outcomes of a randomized trial comparing a Spanish-language, individually tailored, web-delivered PA intervention (original) to an enhanced version with text messages and additional features (enhanced). Further, we evaluated if increases in PA at 6 months were moderated by baseline activity status.

METHODS

In total, 195 Latina women aged 18-65 years participated in a trial comparing the efficacy of the enhanced versus original interventions at initiating PA behavior change. We examined minutes per week of accelerometer-measured PA in the enhanced versus original arms, and the proportion of each arm meeting aerobic PA guidelines (150 min/wk at 6 mo). For moderator analyses, participants were classified as inactive (0 min/wk) or low active (1-90 min/wk) at baseline, measured via the 7 Day Physical Activity Recall interview.

RESULTS

PA increased from 19.7 (SD 47.9) minutes per week at baseline to 46.9 (SD 66.2) minutes per week at 6 months in the enhanced arm versus 20.6 (SD 42.7) minutes per week to 42.9 (SD 78.2) minutes per week in the original arm (P=.78). Overall, 30% (31/103) of the enhanced group met aerobic PA guidelines at 6 months, compared to 21% (19/92) of the original group (odds ratio [OR] 1.75, 95% CI 0.87-3.55). Baseline PA (inactive vs low active) moderated treatment effects on PA. For inactive participants, there were no group differences at 6 months (b=7.1; SE 22.8; P=.75), while low-active participants increased more in enhanced than original (b=72.5; SE 27.9; P=.01). For low-active participants, 45% (46/103) of the enhanced group met PA guidelines at 6 months, versus 20% (18/92) of the original arm (OR 3.29, 95% CI 1.05-11.31). For inactive participants, there were no group differences (25/103, 24% vs n=19/92, 21% for enhanced vs original, respectively; OR 1.28, 95% CI 0.54-3.06).

CONCLUSIONS

Intervention effects were conditional on baseline PA. For low-active Latina women, the enhanced intervention was more effective at increasing PA. Additional tailored intervention enhancements may be necessary to increase PA for inactive Latina women.

Detecting non-human authorship in medical student papers:
Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Doru Berin , Maier Christoph , Busse Johanna Sophie , Lücke Thomas , Schönhoff Judith , Enax Krumova Elena , Berger Maria , Tokic Marianne
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Large Language Models (LLMs), exemplified by ChatGPT, have reached a level of sophistication where distinguishing between human and AI-generated texts is challenging.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the implications for medical texts, the aim of this experimental study was to investigate the ability of two blinded expert groups, one medical and one humanistic, to differentiate between texts written by medical students and those generated by ChatGPT.

METHODS

The medical experts (n=22) were characterised by content familiarity and the humanities experts (n=13) by linguistic and formal textual analysis expertise. All experts were presented with two pairs of texts on two dif-ferent topics, each pair similar in content and structure - one text written by a medical student and the other generated by ChatGPT. They were requested to identify the texts as human-generated or AI-generated and to reason their decision. They were also requested to rate some characteristics of a text: linguistic quality, style, logical coherence, scientific quality, recognition of knowledge limitations, formulation of future research questions, and spelling and grammatical errors.

RESULTS

About 70% of all participants correctly identified the text written by ChatGPT. No significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of correct identification. Only 14% of participants misidentified the author in both text pairs. Familiarity with the content did not play a major role, but certain features of the writ-ing style were more important in the decision-making process. In particular, characteristics in the linguistic categories of redundancy, repetition, and thread/coherence proved to be decisive for the acceptance of a ChatGPT text.

CONCLUSIONS

Authoring style and personal writing features should further be investigated, especially in view of the major change in academic writing emerging by the presence of LLMs.

CLINICALTRIAL

The project was submitted to the ethics committee of the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, in April 2023. As this is not a clinical trial on human subjects, no study or trial registration was required.

Pose, mercado y resistencia. El vogue como escenario identitario
Authors: Guerrero Mc Manus Siobhan Fenella
Published: June 2024

El presente trabajo utiliza una estrategia autoetnográfica y situada para realizar un análisis en torno a la subcultura del vogue/ballroom. El vogue es una danza urbana practicada por una subcultura de alcance global; se lleva a cabo en balls o competencias de baile en donde participan identidades que desafían las normas cis-heterosexistas. Estos encuentros han alcanzado gran visibilidad, tanto a través de producciones como Pose o Paris is Burning, como en ensayos académicos notables como el influyente “Gender is Burning” de Judith Butler. En este ensayo se analiza la manera en que esta danza actúa como escenario para la construcción de identidades. A lo largo de tres momentos analíticos/biográficos, se desarrolla un enfoque que, por un lado, cuestiona la romantización de esta escena y, por otro, critica análisis a menudo simplistas que suelen realizarse sobre la misma.
Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of AISI 4330 Steel under Martempering Heat Treatment
Authors: Panchal Hemant
Published: June 2024

Abstract: This paper delves into the evaluation of mechanical properties specifically hardness and tensile strength of AISI 4330 steel following martempering processes. The primary objective is to scrutinize the impact of tempering on these properties, providing valuable insights into the material's structural behaviour. The experimental protocol began with the austenitisation of samples at temperatures exceeding 700°C, followed by four distinct martempering treatments. The anticipated outcome was a reduction in both hardness and tensile strength post-tempering, reflecting the expected influence of thermal treatment on the steel's mechanical robustness. Microstructural analysis was crucial in elucidating the phase transformations occurring throughout the process. Post-quenching, the envisioned microstructure comprised martensite and retained austenite in a delicate equilibrium. Upon tempering, a shift towards retained austenite and tempered martensite was anticipated, indicative of the steel's adaptive response to thermal modulation. This research enhances our understanding of AISI 4330 steel's mechanical behaviour under martempering conditions, offering valuable insights for engineering applications. By unraveling the intricate relationship between thermal treatment and mechanical properties, this study contributes to optimizing steel alloys. It fosters advancements in material science and engineering, enabling the development of steels with tailored properties for specific applications.
Ergonomics Intervention at Conservation Tourism Trekking Activities to Decrease Tourists\' Risk of Fatigue and Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)
Authors: Suarbawa I Ketut Gde Juli
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Tourists aim to derive satisfaction and comfort when traveling, although they may experience fatigue. Satisfaction and fatigue are not always correlated, as individuals may feel tired but satisfied and comfortable on a trip. Therefore, the quality of tourism can be improved through the application of ergonomics to reduce fatigue and risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The first phase of this research was conducted on 100 participants who met the inclusion criteria and expressed willingness to serve as the control group. Trekking activities during phase one were carried out according to established procedures without any ergonomics intervention. The second phase was conducted on 100 participants who met the inclusion criteria and showed willingness to be part of the treatment group. The results showed ergonomics intervention in the form of implementing a short break of 3 minutes every 1 hour, providing information in the form of occupational health and safety (OHS) signs relating to danger warnings, evacuation routes, warnings, and prohibitions along trekking route, had an effect on reducing workload during trekking activities. This intervention also significantly reduced fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders.

FOTOGRAFİK ŞİDDET İMGELERİNİN İNSAN-OLMAYAN FAİLLERE AÇILMASI: GÖRME REJİMLERİ VE TÜRCÜLÜĞÜN FOTOĞRAF ÜZERİNDEN TARTIŞILMASI
Authors: Korkmaz Erhan
Published: June 2024

Çalışma, fotoğrafın temsil tartışmalarına yeni bir bakış açısı getirme çabasıyla insan-olmayan hayvanların fotoğrafik bir imge olarak kullanılmalarını, fotoğrafçı, fotoğrafı çekilen ve seyirci üçlüsü üzerinden temsil meselesini tartışmaktadır. Fotoğraf tartışmalarında görüleceği üzere, Platon’dan Susan Sontag’a kadar birçok düşünürde görme biçimlerimiz insanı merkeze alan bir biçimde formüle edilerek söylemleştirilmiştir. Özellikle şiddeti fotoğraflayan fotoğrafçılar üzerinden yürütülen “gerçekliği temsil etme” meselesinde insanın duygu durumlarının esas alındığını ve gerçeklikle kurulan bağın bu biçimde inşa edildiğini görürüz. Ölümle girişilen amansız mücadelede yaşama arzusunun objektife yansımaları, iyilik-kötülük probleminin sosyo-kültürel yapıya göre değişkenlik göstermesi, fotoğraf seyircisinin fotoğrafik imgeyi ahlaki normlarına göre alımlaması ve daha birçok mesele insanmerkezci bir taraftan tartışılagelmiştir. Çalışma, bu insanmerkezci anlayışı aşmaya çalışarak, gerçekliğe en yakın imgeler ürettiği söylenen fotoğrafçıların insan-olmayan faillerin şiddetle kurdukları ilişkileri ortaya serdiğini ve daha önemlisi fotoğraf anındaki bu faillerin acılarının insanmerkezci anlayışla silikleştirilmemesi gerektiğini iddia eder. İnsanın yapıp-ettikleri, içerisinde bulunduğu sosyo-kültürel yapıya dair güçlü göstergeler taşırken, insan-olmayan faillerin yapıp-ettiklerinin bu denli göz ardı edilmesi ve kültürden ayrıksı biçimde ele alınması, gerçeklikle kurulan ilişkide bir çeşit “hakikat bekçisi” olan fotoğrafçıların gerçekliği yansıtırken ne denli tarafsız oldukları konusunda şüphe uyandırıyor. Bu çalışma, hem fotoğrafı çekilen insan-olmayan aktörlerin failliklerinin gösterilmesi, hem de fotoğrafı çeken fotoğrafçıların ve seyircilerin türcülük bağlamında konumlarını tartışılması açısından önemlidir.

Authors: Yusri Alfis , Yahya Husnawati
Published: June 2024

Palm oil processing resulting empty fruit bunch waste that has a high organic content. Empty fruit bunches produce up to 6 million tons of waste per year and this waste has not been widely utilized so that can become an environmental problem such as pollution in the future. Alternative way to utilize the wastes is by converting them into organic fertilizer or compost. Therefore, this study aims to analyse and compare the results of EM4 activator composting by using leachate activators, the effect of composting time for each activator and the quality of compost referring to SNI 19-7030-2004. In this study, the composting process was carried out for 21 days with three experiments that include without treatment, by adding 1 litre of EM4 activator and by adding of 1 litre leachate water. The parameters measured were physical, temperature, humidity, pH, C, N, P, K and C/N-ratio. The results of this study indicate that composting with EM4 activator resulting composting pH level of 4.4 - 6.2, humidity of 1.5 - 70%, temperature of 29-38 °C, brownish black in colour, rough and hard in textures and soil-like (earthy) smell while composting using leachate water has a pH of 4.6 - 6.5, humidity of 3.9 - 80%, temperature of 29-38 °C and brownish black in colour, rough texture and slightly stink. Compost with EM4 activator was showing a faster composting time than using leachate. In term of quality, the composting by using EM4 activator produced higher quality compost compared to leachate activator composting with compost quality close to SNI 19-730-2004 requirement.

Authors: Alif Furqan  , Diki Miswar  , Abd. Mujahid Hamdan
Published: June 2024

Fungal infections are known to be a common global health problem, especially as resistance to conventional antifungal drugs increases. Innovative solutions are needed to overcome this problem. This review aims to explore the potential application of nanotechnology to nickel oxide materials in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic fungi, as well as investigating the ability of nanosized nickel oxide as an innovative option in overcoming antifungal problems. The use of nickel oxide nanomaterial as an antifungal agent can produce efficient healing in treating fungal infections which are currently difficult to treat. Information explaining the potential side effects or long-term effects of this method is essential to ensure that the use of this agent does not harm the patient's health. Nano-sized nickel oxide has the ability to interact with other living things in an ecosystem. Therefore, to understand possible environmental risks, research is needed on the concept of ecological impacts on these materials. To increase awareness of the potential use of nano nickel oxide in the treatment of fungal infections, it is important to make this nickel oxide material available to the general public. Global consistency of patient treatment can be ensured through the establishment of well-defined and standardized protocols for the application of nickel oxide nanoparticles in the treatment of fungal infections.

Through a basic qualitative research design, the study explored the power of mentoring in developing the next generation of leaders in U.S. institutions of higher education (HEDs). For this purpose, the individual opinions of 18 directors of leadership were solicited to explore the role of mentoring as instrumental in cultivating future leaders in HEDs, where academic excellence and innovation flourish. The findings suggested that developing the next generation of leaders is a strategic imperative and cannot be overstated, in the context of HEDs, where exemplary, ethical, adaptable, and visionary leaders are born. HEDs can play a major role in upskilling and cultivating them through mentoring from fostering a sense of community, to modeling behavior, and embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Effective mentorship is of paramount importance in guiding and professionally developing future leaders to steer the complexities and the dynamic realm of U.S. HEDs. This study can help U.S. universities understand the power of mentoring in developing the next generation of leaders. An improved understanding of this power will help American colleges and universities, academic leaders, board members, faculty, and policymakers, to better allocate their human, financial, and physical resources in order to meet the needs of the next generation of leaders and to develop them. This research paper is one of the first research studies to explore the power of mentoring in developing the next generation of leaders, from the experiences and perspectives of directors of leadership in U.S. HEDs. Therefore, 18 directors of leadership from various HEDs were identified and interviewed about their perspectives and experiences pertaining to the role of mentoring in developing the next generation of leaders. Data collected from directors provide narratives that expand the body of literature.

Understanding and predicting population responses to climate change is a
crucial challenge. A key component of population responses to climate
change are cases in which focal biological rates (e.g. population growth
rates) change in response to climate change due to non-compensatory
effects of changes in the underlying components (e.g. birth and death
rates) determining the focal rates. We refer to these responses as
non-compensatory climate change effects. As differential responses of
biological rates to climate change have been documented in a variety of
systems and arise at multiple levels of organization within and across
species, non-compensatory effects may be nearly ubiquitous. Yet, how
non-compensatory climate change responses combine and scale to influence
the demographics of populations is often unclear and requires mapping
them to the birth and death rates underlying population change. We
provide a flexible framework for incorporating non-compensatory changes
in upstream rates within and among species and mapping their
consequences for additional downstream rates across scales to their
eventual effects on population growth rates. Throughout we provide
specific examples and potential applications of the framework. We hope
this framework helps to enhance our understanding of and unify research
on population responses to climate change.

Authors: Jiang Maoyu , Huang Wenlong , Jiang Tao , Liu Yehai
Published: June 2024

shorten abstract. Objective: Evaluate clinical significance of 25(OH)D,
IL-10, and Treg cells in peripheral blood of thyroid nodule patients.
Methods: Studied 78 new thyroid nodule cases and 46 healthy individuals.
Analyzed blood samples for 25(OH)D, calcium, IL-2, TNF, IFN-γ, IL-4,
IL-5, IL-10, and Treg cells. Results: Thyroid nodule group had lower
mean 25(OH)D levels than controls (P <0.05). Thyroid cancer
had lower IL-5 than nodular goiter (P <0.05) and thyroid
adenoma (P <0.05). Nodular goiter had higher IFN-γ than
thyroid adenoma (P = 0.061) and thyroid cancer (P = 0.099). Treg cell
levels differed significantly between nodular goiter/thyroid cancer and
thyroid adenoma (P <0.05). In thyroid cancer subgroup,
negative correlation observed between IL-10 and 25(OH)D (r = -0.45,
P<0.05); tendency for negative correlation between Treg cells
and 25(OH)D (r = -0.32, P>0.05). Conclusion: Peripheral
blood 25(OH)D may relate to thyroid nodule incidence. Vitamin D may
influence tumor immune regulation. Decreased 25(OH)D levels observed in
nodular goiter and thyroid cancer vs. normal control. Increased Treg
cells observed in nodular goiter and thyroid cancer vs. thyroid adenoma.
Lower IL-5 found in thyroid cancer. Negative correlation noted between
IL-10 and 25(OH)D in thyroid cancer.
Oleanolic acid ameliorates collagen induced arthritis in rats through the gut microbiota
Authors: Jia Yugai , Su xiaoran , Sun yajie , li zhenbin
Published: June 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized
by synovitis, synovium hyperplasia and destruction of cartilage and
bone. Oleanolic acid (OA), one of the pentacyclic triterpenoids widely
found in crude drugs, fruits and vegetable, shows an excellent
anti-inflammatory ability. However, its effect on RA and the underlying
mechanisms is still unclear. In this study, the effect of OA on the
collagen – induced arthritis (CIA) in rats were investigated. Oral
administration of OA (100 mg/kg) reduced the clinical signs and joint
destruction of CIA rats, as well as marked down regulated the frequency
of Th17 cell and up regulated the frequency of Treg cell in mesentery.
In contrast, an intravenous injection of OA failed to affect the
arthritis in rats, implying that its anti-arthritic effect was
gastrointestinal tract-dependent. Further studies revealed that oral OA
alleviated CIA in a gut microbiota-dependent manner. OA had no effect on
the diversity and richness of the gut bacteria, but reduced the
abundance of Prevotella in CIA rats as determined by the 16S rRNA gene
sequence. While the co-administration of broad-spectrum antimicrobials
largely diminished the antiarthritic effect of OA. In conclusion, the
research suggested that OA, which regulated the intestinal
micro-environment, could be used as a potential component to treat RA.

Authors: ALTAY Sevgi , YONT Gülendam HAKVERDIOGLU , Mete Nihal
Published: June 2024

Background: Patients with Hereditary Angioedema encounter
problems in managing their treatment regimen because they do not have
sufficient information about the disease, and the drugs used are not
common. Objective: This research aimed to elucidate the effect
of our mobile application, “Hereditary Angioedema Attack
Diary,” on patients’ quality of life and treatment compliance.
Methods: A mobile diary was generated in which patients,
physicians, and nurses communicate with each other and share attack
information instantly. Between July 2022 and May 2023, total of 76 HAE
patients, 38 in the mobile application group and 38 as controls, were
enrolled in this research. The Hereditary Angioedema Attack Diary was
evaluated via the SF–36 Quality of Life Scale, Mobile Learning
Readiness Scale, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, and Medication
Compliance Reporting Scale mean score—additionally, the application
consolidated data on sociodemographic characteristics of patients and
disease. Results: The patients evaluated the ease of use of the
Hereditary Angioedema Attack Diary mobile application, and 26.3% rated
it as very good and 42.1% as good. The sub-dimensions of SF–36 quality
of life scale denoted a statistically significant difference in general
health perception score (t =-2.306, p = 0.027), social
functionality mean post-test score (t =-2.099, p = 0.039),
physical function, physical role difficulty, emotional role difficulty,
energy/vitality, social functionality, self-efficacy and optimism, pain,
gender and general health perception (p <0.05).Conclusion: It has been determined that the use of the attack
diary mobile application has a supporting effect on patients’ symptom
management, quality of life, and compliance with treatment.

Today’s electricity systems need to be more resilient, not only in the
face of ever-increasing loads, but also with the accelerating
penetration of renewable energy. However, due to environmental
constraints and ever-increasing loads, these systems are often operated
beyond their thermal capacity. When operating at the limit of their
capacity, electrical systems can be affected by voltage and line
instabilities. Various stability indices have been proposed in the
literature for monitoring and predicting network stability, but their
effectiveness is not always satisfactory. The present work has been
devoted to the development of a relevant and effective analytical tool
for the prediction of network collapse. The effectiveness and
applicability of this tool were validated using standard IEEE 14 and 30
bus systems. In fact, this tool, known as the Complex Stability Index
for Transmission Line (CSITL), performs better than traditional line
voltage stability indices. At base load, line 1-5 of the IEEE 14 bus
system is the most critical, carrying an apparent power of 78 MVA, i.e.
78% of the limit. For this line, the CSITL, NCPI and FVSI indices are
0.9963, 0.1826 and 0.0629 respectively. For the most critical line of
the IEEE 30 bus system at base load, these indices are 0.7229, 0.0849
and 0.0419 respectively. The application of CSITL to the 14-bus and
30-bus test networks shows that it remains a powerful and excellent tool
for effective and efficient management of transport networks, even in a
disrupted context.
Probabilistic Optimal Power Flow Computation for Power Grid Including Correlated Wind Sources
Authors: Xiao Qing , Tan Zhuangxi , Du Min
Published: June 2024

This paper sets out to develop an efficient probabilistic optimal power
flow (POPF) algorithm to assess the influence of wind power on power
grid. Given a set of wind data at multiple sites, the marginal
distribution is fitted by a newly developed generalized Johnson system,
the dependence structure of wind speeds is matched by the flexible
Liouville copula. In order to lower the computational burden for solving
POPF model, a Lattice sampling technique is developed to generate wind
samples at multiple sites, and a Logistic mixture model is proposed to
fit distributions of POPF outputs, which can quantify the effect of wind
speed uncertainty on power grid. Finally, the proposed methods are
illustrated by case studies on the IEEE 118-bus system.
Analysis of Fault Recovery Process in Distribution Networks with the Integration of Soft Open Point
Authors: ruijin Zhu
Published: June 2024

After a fault occurs in the distribution network, the real-time balance
between power supply and load demand must be met. Load can be restored
through upper sources and the nearby power supply of distributed
generators. Therefore, it is necessary to construct the power
transmission path between each node, namely transmission matrix.
Furthermore, the access of new controllable devices such as soft open
point (SOP) makes it possible for power supply quickly by providing a
path for power loss loads. In this paper, a fault recovery model of
distribution network considering SOP is established. The dynamic balance
of node power is firstly considered, then the the impact mechanism of
SOP on fault recovery is elaborated. The cone relaxation process and the
objective function of fault recovery is further introduced. Through the
simulation analysis of the modified IEEE 33-node test system, scenarios
of single fault and multi-point fault are built. The effectiveness of
the proposed method and the improvement of load recovery after fault by
SOP are verified.
