Authors: Young Heather M , Bell Janice F , Tonkikh Orly , Kilaberia Tina R , Whitney Robin L , Mongoven Jennifer M , Link Benjamin M , Kelly Kathleen
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

With the aging population, family caregivers provide increasingly complex and intense care for older adults and persons with disabilities. There is growing interest in developing community-based services to support family caregivers. Caregiving occurs around the clock, and caregivers face challenges in accessing community-based services at convenient times owing to the demands of care. Web-based resources hold promise for accessible real-time support. CareNav (TM), a caregiver resource information system, is a web-based platform designed to support real-time universal caregiver assessment, a record of client encounters, development of a care plan, tailored information and resource content, access to web-based caregiver resources, the capacity to track service authorization and contracts, and secure communications. The assessment includes needs and health conditions of both the care recipient and caregiver; current resources; and priorities for support, information, and referral. In 2019, the California Department of Health Care Services funded the 11 nonprofit California Caregiver Resource Centers (CRCs) to expand and improve family caregiver services and enhance CRC information technology services. Deployment of a statewide information system offered a unique opportunity to examine structures and processes facilitating implementation, providing feedback to the sites as well as lessons learned for similar projects in the future.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this paper was to describe the statewide implementation of the comprehensive CareNav system using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research as an organizing structure for synthesizing the evaluation.

METHODS

This mixed methods study used two major approaches to evaluate the implementation process: a survey of all staff who completed training (n=82) and in-depth qualitative interviews with 11 CRC teams and 3 key informants (n=35). We initially analyzed interview transcripts using qualitative descriptive methods and then identified subthemes and relationships among ideas, mapping the findings to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

RESULTS

We present findings on the outer setting, inner setting, characteristics of the intervention, characteristics of the staff, and the implementation process. The critical elements for success were leadership, communication, harmonization of processes across sites, and motivation to serve clients in more accessible and convenient ways.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings have implications for technology deployment in diverse community-based agencies that aspire to enhance web-based services.
The Development of a No-code App Design Platform for Mobile Health Research (Preprint)
Authors: Liu Sam , La Henry , Willms Amanda , Rhodes Ryan E.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

A challenge facing researchers when conducting mobile health (mHealth) research is the resources required to develop mobile apps. This can be a barrier to generating relevant knowledge in a timely manner. The recent rise of “no-code” software development platforms may overcome this challenge and enable researchers to decrease the cost and time required to develop mHealth research apps.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the development process and the lessons learned to build the no-code mHealth app design platform (Pathverse).

METHODS

The study took place between November 2019 to December 2021. In phase 1, we used a participatory research frame to gather key platform feature requirements. In phase 2, we used an agile software framework to develop the platform. In phase 3, we gathered user feedback through usability and acceptability testing. In phase 4, we further developed the platforms based on user feedback.

RESULTS

Our team consulted end-users (i.e. researchers) and utilized behaviour change technique (BCT) taxonomy and behaviour change models (i.e. multi-process action control framework) to guide the features developed. The first version of the Pathverse platform included features that allowed researchers to 1) design customized multimedia app content (e.g., interactive lessons), 2) set content delivery logic (e.g. only show new lessons when completing the previous lesson), 3) implement customized participant surveys, 4) provide self-monitoring tools 5) set personalized goals 6) customize app notification. Usability and acceptability testing revealed that researchers found the platform easy to navigate, and the features were initiative to use. Potential improvements included the ability to deliver adaptive interventions and add features such as community group chat.

CONCLUSIONS

To our knowledge, Pathverse is the first no-code mHealth app design platform for developing behaviour mHealth interventions. We successfully used behaviour change models and the BCT taxonomy to inform the feature requirements of Pathverse. Overall, the use of a participatory framework, combined with the agile and hybrid-agile software development process, enabled our team to successfully develop the Pathverse platform.
The Application of Lexical Approach in Teaching College English: An Empirical Study
Authors: Yuxuan Diao
Published: April 2022

In China, College English is a required basic course for undergraduate students, and the objective of College English teaching is to improve students’ ability to use English in an all-round way. The author maintains that in order for students to exchange information effectively, they must be first of all equipped with the right tools for communication—vocabulary. The author observes that vocabulary is the biggest obstacle for most college students, who have learned the basic patterns and structures of English in their middle school, but their vocabulary size is very limited. It follows that greater importance should be attached to vocabulary in College English teaching.The author believes that, in the current Chinese EFL teaching context, adopting the Lexical Approach to College English teaching is a practicable and effective way to improve students’ ability in using English. In order to verify this idea, the author conducted an empirical study, which lasted 16 weeks. The findings support the author’s hypotheses that college students do need explicit and systematic instructions on vocabulary learning, and that adopting the Lexical Approach to College English teaching is effective in enhancing students’ lexical knowledge and improving their ability in using English. It is hoped that the study will shed some light on the question of how to teach College English effectively to meet the previously mentioned objective.
Management of tea (Camellia sinensis) diseases with application of microbes: A Review
Authors: Kishor Chand Kumhar
Published: April 2022

Tea (Camellia sp) is one of the most economically important plantation crops and the second-largest non-alcoholic beverage in the world next to water being consumed by people in different forms. It is cultivated mainly in Assam, West Bengal covering the regions such as Darjeeling, Dooars, Terai, and Southern India in about 6.36 lakh hectares with a production of about 1338 million Kg made teas. Darjeeling tea is world-famous for its specific aroma and flavor whereas Assam is known for premier CTC teas. Among various challenges encounter on its bountiful production and desired quality, the occurrence of numerous diseases is one of the major factors. Different fungal and one algal genus are considered as the major phytopathogens to cause leaf, stem, and root diseases. Blight (blister, grey and brown), dieback, charcoal stem rot, root rot (brown, violet) and black rot are the major threat to tea sustainability. These diseases can be managed through the timely adoption of good agricultural practices (GAP). For the past couple of decades, owing to the increased awareness about the adverse effects of synthetic fungicides usage, people have been looking for ideal alternative strategies to take care of tea diseases in India under the organic production system. Microbes such as genus Trichoderma, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Actinomycetes etc. are capable of providing a protective umbrella to this crop against different diseases. This review article highlights the possible uses of different microorganisms in managing the diseases and it covers almost till date development in this field.

Abstract: In present work linear dynamic analysis of high-rise building is done and of base isolation is analyzed with lateral force resisting elements like shear wall and bracing, effect of all these structural components is calculated and analyzed on structure having 30,35 &40 Stories. Structure is Located in Earthquake Zone IV. Analysis is done with the help of ETABS 19 software. In base isolation we bifurcate the structure from foundation so the structure remains unharmed from shocks and motion at the time of seismic action. Base isolation is awidely used lateral load resisting system provided to strengthen such buildings but literature survey of Base isolation reveals that Lear Rubber Base isolation is proved tobe determinantal. With the increase in urbanisation use of multi stories building is now in trending because of its high utility in commercial as well as residential. In northern part of India, maximum places are susceptible to earthquake so the basics requirement is to build the safe structure so that no damage to the life takes places. One among various methods of earthquake resistant design is Base Isolation. Various studies were carried out to check the behaviour of different parameters like time period, drift, storey displacement and overturning moment etc. with various types of base isolation. Use of LRB isolation system for high rise buildings was suggested. In thepresent study lead rubber bearing is used for base isolation with structure having shear wall and bracings. G+30, G+35 and G+40 storey structure are analysed. Static, linear dynamic (response spectrum) is performed to study the behaviour of building with lead rubber base isolation system. ETABSv2019 is used to perform the analysis and design. Comparison of fixed base building with LRB is shown and suitability concern is provided. It was observed from the study that Lead Rubber base isolation is more effective for earthquake prone zones.

Authors: Vjotosh A. N. , Alexeeva O. S. , Istomin A. I.
Published: April 2022

The aim of the scientific work was to study the multidirectional effect of hypoxic sessions presented to pregnant rats at different periods of gestation on the manifestation of the ventilatory reaction of their offspring with dosed hypoxic hypoxia.Materials and methods: a plethysmograph were used to record respiratory volume, respiratory rate and calculate the minute volume of respiration of intact rats (n=77) of the Wistar breed.Results and discussion: presentation of a hypoxic stimulus to pregnant rats on certain days of gestation did not affect the gestation period, body weight and number of offspring, but changed the ventilatory response to hypoxia in males born and reached three months of age. Prenatal hypoxia, presented in the middle of pregnancy, led to a decrease in the ventilatory response to lack of oxygen in the offspring, and exposure of pregnant rats in hypoxic conditions at the end of the second trimester increased the ventilatory response to hypoxia.

Extraction of autonomous quantum coherences
Authors: Slobodeniuk Artur , Novotný Tomáš , Filip Radim
Published: April 2022

Quantum coherence is an essential resource to gain advantage over classical physics and technology. Recently, it has been proposed that a low-temperature environment can induce quantum coherence of a spin without an external coherent pump. We address a critical question if such coherence is extractable by a weak coupling to an output system dynamically affecting back the spin-environment coupling. Describing the entire mechanism, we prove that such extraction is generically possible for output spins (also oscillators or fields) and, as well, in a fermionic analogue of such a process. We compare the internal spin coherence and output coherence over temperature and characteristic frequencies. The proposed optimal coherence extraction opens paths for the upcoming experimental tests with atomic and solid-state systems.
Time-dependent Hamiltonian Simulation of Highly Oscillatory Dynamics and Superconvergence for Schrödinger Equation
Authors: An Dong , Fang Di , Lin Lin
Published: April 2022

We propose a simple quantum algorithm for simulating highly oscillatory quantum dynamics, which does not require complicated quantum control logic for handling time-ordering operators. To our knowledge, this is the first quantum algorithm that is both insensitive to the rapid changes of the time-dependent Hamiltonian and exhibits commutator scaling. Our method can be used for efficient Hamiltonian simulation in the interaction picture. In particular, we demonstrate that for the simulation of the Schrödinger equation, our method exhibits superconvergence and achieves a surprising second order convergence rate, of which the proof rests on a careful application of pseudo-differential calculus. Numerical results verify the effectiveness and the superconvergence property of our method.

Authors: Trivedi Rahul , Fischer Kevin , Fan Shanhui , Vuckovic Jelena
Published: April 2022

Understanding dynamics of localized quantum systems embedded in engineered bosonic environments is a central problem in quantum optics and open quantum system theory. We present a formalism for studying few-particle scattering from a localized quantum system interacting with an bosonic bath described by an inhomogeneous wave-equation. In particular, we provide exact relationships between the quantum scattering matrix of this interacting system and frequency domain solutions of the inhomogeneous wave-equation thus providing access to the spatial distribution of the scattered few-particle wave-packet. The formalism developed in this paper paves the way to computationally understanding the impact of structured media on the scattering properties of localized quantum systems embedded in them without simplifying assumptions on the physics of the structured media.

Published: April 2022

The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is one of the global invasive
species and has caused huge damage to aquaculture, biodiversity and
ecology in the world. Antennal-expressed receptors are important for P.
clarkii to detect olfactory cues for mate attraction, et al.. However,
few olfactory and chemosensory-related genes were reported in P. clarkii
until now. In the present study, we used RNA sequencing to investigate
the olfactory and chemosensory-related genes of the antenna of P.
clarkii during the non-mating and mating period. A total of 59218
unigenes with an average length of 1056.41 bp, and 4889 differentially
expressed unigenes (DEGs) with 2128 up-regulated and 2761 down-regulated
unigenes were obtained. Of which, 13 up-regulated and 9 down-regulated
DEGs were identified to associated with olfaction and chemical
reception, including 4 IRs or iGluRs, 8 G-protein coupled receptor, 5
transient receptor potential channels (TRP channels), 1 sodium-calcium
exchanger, 1 olfactory receptor, 1 isomerase and 2 chemosensory proteins
(CSPs). CSPs were preliminarily classified into pheromone receptors in
male red swamp crayfish. The results of quantitative real-time reverse
transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) showed that the expression trends of 8
selected unigenes were consistent, and this result also validated the
RNA-Seq data. Our results provide more comprehensive data of olfactory
and chemical communication mechanism after crayfish entering the mating
period.
Zero-inflated count distributions for capture-mark-reencounter data
Authors: Riecke Thomas , Gibson Daniel , Sedinger James , Schaub Michael
Published: April 2022

The estimation of demographic parameters is a key component of
evolutionary demography and conservation biology. Capture-mark-recapture
methods have served as a fundamental tool for estimating demographic
parameters. The accurate estimation of demographic parameters in
capture-mark-recapture studies depends on accurate modeling of the
observation process. Classic capture-mark-recapture models typically
model the observation process as a Bernoulli or categorical trial with
some detection probability conditional on a marked individual’s
availability for detection (e.g., alive, or alive and present in a study
area). Alternatives to this approach are underused, but may have great
utility in capture-recapture studies. In this paper we explore a simple
concept: in the same way that counts contain more information about
abundance than simple detection/non-detection data, the number of
encounters of individuals during observation occasions contain more
information about the observation process than detection/non-detection
data for individuals during the same occasion. Rather than using
Bernoulli or categorical distributions to estimate detection
probability, we demonstrate the application of zero-inflated Poisson and
gamma-Poisson distributions. This allows for inference on availability
for encounter (i.e., temporary emigration), as well as a wide variety of
parameterizations for heterogeneity in the observation process. We
demonstrate that this approach can accurately recover demographic and
observation parameters in the presence of individual heterogeneity in
detection probability, and discuss some potential future extensions of
this method.

We consider the topological structure of the sublinear quasi-metrics in
locally convex cones and define the notion of a locally convex quasi-metric
cone. The presence of upper bounded neighborhoods, gives necessary and
sufficient conditions for the quasi-metrizability of locally convex cones. In
particular, we investigate the boundedness and separatedness of locally
convex quasi-metric cones and characterize the metrizability of locally
convex cones.

Published: April 2022

In this study, we construct the difference sequence spaces lp (P?2q) = (lp)P?2q, 1 ? p ? ?, where P = (?rs) is an infinite matrix of Padovan numbers %s defined by ?rs = {?s/?r+5-2 0 ? s ? r, 0 s > r. and ?2q is a q-difference operator of second order. We obtain some inclusion relations, topological properties, Schauder basis and ?-, ?- and ?-duals of the newly defined space. We characterize certain matrix classes from the space lp (P?2q) to any one of the space l1, c0, c or l?. We examine some geometric properties and give certain estimation for von-Neumann Jordan constant and James constant of the space lp(P). Finally, we estimate upper bound for Hausdorff matrix as a mapping from lp to lp(P).

The error estimates of Kronrod extension for Gauss-Radau and Gauss-Lobatto quadrature with the four Chebyshev weights
Authors: Jandrlic Davorka , Pejcev Aleksandar , Spalevic Miodrag
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we consider the Kronrod extension for the Gauss-Radau and
Gauss-Lobatto quadrature consisting of any one of the four Chebyshev
weights. The main purpose is to effectively estimate the error of these
quadrature formulas. This estimate needs a calculation of the maximum of the
modulus of the kernel. We compute explicitly the kernel function and
determine the locations on the ellipses where a maximum modulus of the
kernel is attained. Based on this, we derive effective error bounds of the
Kronrod extensions if the integrand is an analytic function inside of a
region bounded by a confocal ellipse that contains the interval of
integration.
Equivalence among L-closure (interior) operators, L-closure (interior) systems and L-enclosed (internal) relations
Authors: Zhao Fangfang , Pang Bin
Published: April 2022

Closure (interior) operators and closure (interior) systems are important
tools in many mathematical environments. Considering the logical sense of a
complete residuated lattice L, this paper aims to present the concepts of
L-closure (L-interior) operators and L-closure (L-interior) systems by means
of infimums (supremums) of L-families of L-subsets and show their
equivalence in a categorical sense. Also, two types of fuzzy relations
between L-subsets corresponding to L-closure operators and L-interior
operators are proposed, which are called L-enclosed relations and L-internal
relations. It is shown that the resulting categories are isomorphic to that
of L-closure spaces and L-interior spaces, respectively.

A Feasibility Study of Natural Attenuation as a Viable Cleanup Method for Heavy Oil Spills
Authors: JG Speight
Published: April 2022

The constant focus of the public and media on oil spill pollution in the environment has led to a forced improvement in its clean-up process. But these methods are not as effective and efficient as society and the environment requires them to be. One of the major reasons for this is that an oil spill does not contain uniform distribution of the oil over an area, neither are the microorganisms present evenly distributed in the environment. However, when it is not possible for fiscal and any technical reasons to bring about ecosystem restoration, the obvious strategy is to prevent the discharge of pollutants. When this is not possible and crude oil (or heavy oil) has already been introduced to the environment, there is the potential for the Earth to heal itself and introduce balance over time. What is necessary as a society is to harness these natural methods and ensure that oil spills are contained in the shortest time possible.

Authors: M Halafawi
Published: April 2022

To drill new HPHT development wells safely, an exact estimate of their stability is essential. Analyzing previously drilled offset wells can assist in this determination, eliminating any stratigraphic column issues and saving nonproductive time. The challenges found with offset wellbores, their consequences on well design, possible remedies, and preventative measures are discussed in this paper. It examines drilling data from offset wells in order to discover, diagnose, and treat serious issues. Furthermore, thermal simulation was done in order to study the temperature distribution of the wellbore, annuli and fluids during drilling, tripping, circulation, logging, casing and cementing in HPHT zone.
Maturity Exam: Germanic Regional Studies in Modern Russia
Authors: Belinsky A. V.
Published: April 2022

The article covers the development of German area studies in modern Russia. The authors note that over the past three decades the discipline has passed a rather difficult and winding path that has yet to be comprehended. After the Soviet Union collapsed, science funding was reduced drastically, which in turn led to the "washout" of an entire generation of researchers. The methodological crisis of Russian science, which had to look for new ways of development in an era of changes, became painful as well. In the mid-2000s, the position of German area studies in Russia improved a bit both due to the expansion of cooperation with German scientific foundations and institutes and to the appearance of young researchers in science. By this time, the main directions of research of scientists and graduate students were outlined. In the field of historical science, the main emphasis was on the study of the 1930-1940s, Russian-German relations, etc. Political scientists and international affairs specialists focused on the transformation of Germany's foreign policy, transatlantic relations, and elections. The main research topics for geographers and economists were the entry of Germany into the global economy, Russian-German cooperation in the energy sector, geography of industry, etc. At the same time, by the mid-2010s, a number of problems emerged that needed to be solved. The most important of them are the lack of a middle generation of researchers, insufficient funding, focus on narrow topics, lack of basic research, etc.
Modeling of the energy-loss piezoceramic resonators by electric equivalent networks with passive elements

This paper is devoted to analysis of the modern achievements in energy loss problem for piezoceramic resonators. New experimental technique together with computing permits us to plot many resonators' parameters: admittance, impedance, phase angles, and power components etc. The author's opinion why mechanical quality under resonance is different from that under anti-resonance is given. The reason lies in clamped capacity and electromechanical coupling factor's value. The better electromechanical coupling, the stronger capacity clamping, and the higher its influence on anti-resonant frequency and quality. It is also established that considerable nonlinearity of admittance in constant voltage regime is caused by instantaneous power level.
On three facts of reticences in the classical mathematical modeling of elastic materials
Authors:   S. P. Timoshenko Institute of Mechanics, Rushchitsky J.
Published: April 2022

Three facts of reticences (passing over in silence, an absence of comments) in the procedures of mathematical modeling of elastic materials are described and commented. The first fact consists in a reticence of one of the first steps in the mentioned above procedure – an assumption that the kinematics of deformation is described by the linear approximation of motion of material continuum, namely by gradients of deformation. In the paper, a novel nonlinear approach to this procedure is offered. The second and third facts are associated with constitutive relations. The second fact consists in the absence of necessary comments relative to determination of smallness of strains and gradients of displacements (absence of comments relative to a criterion of applicability of the linear model) because the criterion $ |u_{i,k}|\ll 1$ is sufficiently abstract. It is shown that there exists a based on the nonlinear Cauchy relations approximate procedure of determination of threshold values of strains and gradients of deformations starting with which a nonlinearity of process appears. The third fact consists in the absence of comments relative to essential differences between the nonlinear constitutive equations, which are written for the ordered pairs "Lagrange stress tensor – Cauchy-Green strain tensor" and "Kirchhoff stress tensor – gradients of displacements". It is shown on an example of the shear stress and the Murnaghan model of nonlinear elastic deformation that deviation from the corresponding straight lines of linear deformation for different pairs differs in many times in the range of small strains and small gradients of displacements. The general estimate of facts of reticences looks positive, because for one part of scientists-mechanicians the reticences form the comfort feeling of monolithic character of the classical theory of elasticity, whereas for another part the reticences form a space for development of the theory of elasticity.

Современная ситуация характеризуется изменениями в различных сферах жизни человека, приводит к существенной перестройке его активности, деятельности, состояния. В условиях транзитивности, растущей неопределенности становится актуальным определение психологических ресурсов личностной готовности к деятельности молодежи. В исследовании приняли участие студенты университетов г. Томска (N = 263). В нем был использован регрессионный и кластерный анализ. Результаты исследования показали, что в качестве психологических ресурсов личностной готовности к деятельности обучающихся следует рассматривать эмоциональный интеллект, мотивацию, ценности сохранения и открытости, целеполагание и рефлексию. Результаты анализа имеют теоретическую и практическую значимость. Они актуализируют вопрос рассмотрения компетенций будущих специалистов, которым предстоит работать в новых условиях, обращают внимание на то, что образовательный процесс должен быть ориентирован не только на приобретение фундаментальных знаний и профессиональных умений студентами, но и на развитие их личности.

The current situation is characterized by changes in various spheres of human life, leading to a significant restructuring of his activities, condition. People react differently to changes. They plunge some into a state of stress, confusion about the future, while others are mobilized, put in front of the need for change. The different position and behavior of a person in a situation of change are largely determined by the resources that a person possesses. In this situation, the problem of studying the self-regulation of the individual, his active life position in the changing conditions of study, work and everyday life becomes relevant. The subject of discussion is increasingly the question of what can serve as psychological resources for a person in a situation of transitivity. This question is especially relevant in relation to students, their personal readiness for activity. Students of Tomsk universities took part in the presented study (N=263). It used regression and cluster analysis. The results of the study showed that emotional intelligence, motivation, values of preservation, values of openness, goal-setting and reflection should be considered as psychological resources of personal readiness for students’ activities. The results of the study have theoretical and practical significance. They actualize the issue of taking into account the competencies of future specialists who will have to work in new conditions. The results of the study indicate that the professional training of specialists should include not only the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and professional skills, but also the development of personality in the educational process.
