Authors: Isangula Kahabi , Edwards Grace , Mwansisya Tumbwene , Mbekenga Columba , Pallangyo Eunice , Sarki Ahmed , Ndirangu-Mugo Eunice
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND

In the face of growing modernity and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, open and distance learning (ODL) is considered to play an important role in increasing access to education worldwide. There is a robust evidence base demonstrating its cost effectiveness in comparison with conventional class-based teaching; however, the transition to this new paradigm of learning for nursing and midwifery courses has been difficult in low-income countries. While there are notable efforts to increase internet and education access to health care professionals, not much is known about ODL for nurses and midwives in East African countries.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this scoping review is to understand whether ODL programs for nursing and midwifery education exist, the drivers of their adoption, their implementation, the topics/courses covered, their acceptability, and their impacts in East African countries.

METHODS

The scoping review methodology employs the framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley. Using an exploratory approach, a two-stage screening process consisting of a title and abstract scan and a full-text review will be used to determine the eligibility of articles. To be included, articles must report on an existing ODL initiative for nurses and midwives in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. All articles will be independently assessed for eligibility by pairs of reviewers, and all eligible articles will be abstracted and charted in duplicate using a standardized form.

RESULTS

Details of ODL for nursing and midwifery education initiatives and study outcomes will be summarized in a table. The extracted data will undergo exploratory descriptive analysis, and the results will be classified into learner and clinical outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

Evidence on ODL for nursing and midwifery education will inform the ongoing development and restructuring of health care professional education in East Africa amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Kunstler Breanne E , Furler John , Holmes-Truscott Elizabeth , McLachlan Hamish , Boyle Douglas , Lo Sean , Speight Jane , O'Neal David , Audehm Ralph , Kilov Gary , Manski-Nankervis Jo-Anne
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND

Managing type 2 diabetes (T2D) requires progressive lifestyle changes and, sometimes, pharmacological treatment intensification. General practitioners (GPs) are integral to this process but can find pharmacological treatment intensification challenging because of the complexity of continually emerging treatment options.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to use a co-design method to develop and pretest a clinical decision support (CDS) tool prototype (GlycASSIST) embedded within an electronic medical record, which uses evidence-based guidelines to provide GPs and people with T2D with recommendations for setting glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) targets and intensifying treatment together in real time in consultations.

METHODS

The literature on T2D-related CDS tools informed the initial GlycASSIST design. A two-part co-design method was then used. Initial feedback was sought via interviews and focus groups with clinicians (4 GPs, 5 endocrinologists, and 3 diabetes educators) and 6 people with T2D. Following refinements, 8 GPs participated in mock consultations in which they had access to GlycASSIST. Six people with T2D viewed a similar mock consultation. Participants provided feedback on the functionality of GlycASSIST and its role in supporting shared decision making (SDM) and treatment intensification.

RESULTS

Clinicians and people with T2D believed that GlycASSIST could support SDM (although this was not always observed in the mock consultations) and individualized treatment intensification. They recommended that GlycASSIST includes less information while maintaining relevance and credibility and using graphs and colors to enhance visual appeal. Maintaining clinical autonomy was important to GPs, as they wanted the capacity to override GlycASSIST’s recommendations when appropriate. Clinicians requested easier screen navigation and greater prescribing guidance and capabilities.

CONCLUSIONS

GlycASSIST was perceived to achieve its purpose of facilitating treatment intensification and was acceptable to people with T2D and GPs. The GlycASSIST prototype is being refined based on these findings to prepare for quantitative evaluation.
Development, Implementation, and Effectiveness of a Self-sustaining, Web-Based LGBTQ+ National Platform: A Framework for Centralizing Local Health Care Resources and Culturally Competent Providers (Preprint)
Authors: Nowaskie Dustin Z
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND

The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) population has long faced substantial marginalization, discrimination, and health care disparities compared to the cisgender, heterosexual population. As the etiology of such disparities is multifaceted, finding concrete solutions for LGBTQ+ health care equity is challenging. However, the internet may offer the space to initiate an effective model.

OBJECTIVE

In an effort to make LGBTQ+ public resources and culturally competent providers transparent, modernize medical education, and promote cultural competency, OutCare Health—a nonprofit 501(c)(3) multidisciplinary, multicenter web-based platform—was created.

METHODS

The organization employs a cyclic, multidimensional framework to conduct needs assessments, identify resources and providers, promote these efforts on the website, and educate the next generation of providers. LGBTQ+ public health services are identified via the internet, email, and word of mouth and added to the Public Resource Database; culturally competent providers are recruited to the OutList directory via listservs, medical institutions, local organizations, and word of mouth; and mentors are invited to the Mentorship Program by emailing OutList providers. These efforts are replicated across nearly 30 states in the United States.

RESULTS

The organization has identified over 500 public health organizations across all states, recognized more than 2000 OutList providers across all states and 50 specialties, distributed hundreds of thousands of educational materials, received over 10,000 monthly website visits (with 83% unique viewership), and formed nearly 30 state-specific teams. The total number of OutList providers and monthly website views has doubled every 12-18 months. The majority of OutList providers are trained in primary, first point-of-care specialties such as family medicine, infectious disease, internal medicine, mental health, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics.

CONCLUSIONS

A web-based LGBTQ+ platform is a feasible, effective model to identify public health resources, culturally competent providers, and mentors as well as provide cultural competency educational materials and education across the country. Such a platform also has the opportunity to reach self-perpetuating sustainability. The cyclic, multidisciplinary, multidimensional, multicenter framework presented here appears to be pivotal in achieving such growth and stability. Other organizations and medical institutions should heavily consider using this framework to reach their own communities with high-quality, culturally competent care for the LGBTQ+ population.
Hybrid Deep Learning for Medication-Related Information Extraction From Clinical Texts in French: MedExt Algorithm Development Study (Preprint)
Authors: Jouffroy Jordan , Feldman Sarah F , Lerner Ivan , Rance Bastien , Burgun Anita , Neuraz Antoine
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND

Information related to patient medication is crucial for health care; however, up to 80% of the information resides solely in unstructured text. Manual extraction is difficult and time-consuming, and there is not a lot of research on natural language processing extracting medical information from unstructured text from French corpora.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to develop a system to extract medication-related information from clinical text written in French.

METHODS

We developed a hybrid system combining an expert rule–based system, contextual word embedding (embedding for language model) trained on clinical notes, and a deep recurrent neural network (bidirectional long short term memory–conditional random field). The task consisted of extracting drug mentions and their related information (eg, dosage, frequency, duration, route, condition). We manually annotated 320 clinical notes from a French clinical data warehouse to train and evaluate the model. We compared the performance of our approach to those of standard approaches: rule-based or machine learning only and classic word embeddings. We evaluated the models using token-level recall, precision, and F-measure.

RESULTS

The overall F-measure was 89.9% (precision 90.8; recall: 89.2) when combining expert rules and contextualized embeddings, compared to 88.1% (precision 89.5; recall 87.2) without expert rules or contextualized embeddings. The F-measures for each category were 95.3% for medication name, 64.4% for drug class mentions, 95.3% for dosage, 92.2% for frequency, 78.8% for duration, and 62.2% for condition of the intake.

CONCLUSIONS

Associating expert rules, deep contextualized embedding, and deep neural networks improved medication information extraction. Our results revealed a synergy when associating expert knowledge and latent knowledge.
Sun Safe Partners Online: Pilot Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Manne Sharon , Buller David , Devine Katie , Heckman Carolyn , Pagoto Sherry , Frederick Sara , Mitarotondo Anna
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND

Harnessing supportive influences in close relationships is an innovative and potentially effective strategy to improve sun protection behaviors.

OBJECTIVE

This pilot randomized controlled clinical trial evaluates the feasibility and impact of Sun Safe Partners Online, a web-based, couples-focused intervention to improve sun protection behavior.

METHODS

A total of 75 couples reporting suboptimal levels of sun protection recruited from Facebook advertisements were randomized to receive a web-based intervention called Sun Safe Partners Online or a Generic Online Sun Safety Information intervention. Sun Safe Partners Online had 4 individual-focused modules and 4 couples-focused modules. Feasibility was assessed by study enrollment, engagement, follow-up survey completion, and intervention evaluation. Participants completed baseline and a 1-month postintervention survey assessing sun protection and exposure, along with individual and relationship attitudes about the importance of sun protection.

RESULTS

Using Facebook as a recruitment strategy resulted in rapid enrollment and higher acceptance than for the prior telephone and print trial. The follow-up survey completion was higher in the Generic Online condition (100%) than in the Sun Safe Partners Online condition (87.2%). Engagement in Sun Safe Partners Online was high, with more than two-thirds of participants completing all modules. Evaluations of Sun Safe Partners Online content and features as well as ease of navigation were excellent. Sun Safe Partners Online showed small effects on sun protection behaviors and sun exposure on weekends compared with the Generic Online intervention and moderate effect size increases in the Sun Safe Partners Online condition.

CONCLUSIONS

This study uses a novel approach to facilitate engagement in sun protection by harnessing the influence of relationships among spouses and cohabiting partners. A couples-focused intervention may hold promise as a means to improve sun protection behaviors beyond interventions focused solely on individuals by leveraging the concern, collaboration, and support among intimate partners and addressing relationship-based barriers to sun protection.

Published: February 2020

One of the functions of the primary care/family physician in case management is as a care coordinator/coordinator of the patient’s management1. McDonald defines a care coordinator as a patient’s management activity in healthcare that involves two or more participants (including patients) to improve the quality of health services. The definition emphasizes the need for collaboration between doctors and various parties including patients, families, and other health workers in managing health problems2. This paper emphasizes coordination and collaboration between health workers and families, which aims to increase knowledge and perceptions of families and communities to prevent malnutrition events such as failure to thrive, or obesity in children in the management of the first 1000 days of life.Management of the first 1000 days of life and growth and development monitoring needs doctors who motivate as well as parenting guidance to be able for caring and feeding the baby, as well as directly monitor the growth and development of their children. Many perceptions and stigmas develop in community can affect parenting parents towards their children. Accordingly, the function of the family physician is expected to have the ability as a care coordinator to support the successful management of the first 1000 days of life. This service requires collaboration between doctors and other healthcare professionals. This is in line with a spirit of partnership and cross-sector cooperation3. Primary care/family physician responsible for providing health services sustainably and comprehensively to individuals, families, and the community, in collaboration with other health workers. Primary care/family physicians manage various resources for the benefit of patients and families. Health services in primary care services provide primary to tertiary prevention services4, which doctors cannot do alone. Primary care/family physician is not only responsible for primary prevention and screening, however, must also be prepared to manage health problems in the first 1000 days of life, growth, and development, including facilitating referral and reconciliation. This responsibility proves the importance of collaboration practice in primary care services.

The concept of mind-mindedness: The main principles and perspectives
Authors: Kantar Dejan , Petrovic Jelica
Published: February 2020

The concept of mind-mindedness is an important contribution to understanding
mother-child interactions in the light of attachment. It is created to
explain the influence of sensitive parenting on the formation of a secure
attachment. Although research on this concept has been carried out over the
past twenty years, in our psychological literature dedicated to the
social-emotional development, it is only mentioned by reference, as one of
the factors that influence the development of secure attachment, or as a
mechanism by which transgenerational transmission of attachment patterns can
be explained. Therefore, because of its significance and actuality, in this
paper the concept of mind-mindedness will be presented in more detail. First
of all, attention will be paid to the origin and development of the idea
itself, then the methods of assessment will be described, and then the
results of the research important for shedding light on the theoretical
background of this phenomenon will be presented. In addition, we will
describe the correlation of mind-mindedness and the other concepts created
in an attempt to understand how parents experience their own child.

Venous Stasis Leg Ulcers: A Review
Authors: Gaus David
Published: February 2020

Chronic venous stasis ulcers (CVSU) of the lower extremity affect up to 5% of the population over 65 years and 1.5% of the general population. CVSU is caused by chronic venous disease produced by venous hypertension. Venous hypertension results from valvular incompetence within the deep venous system, or by the obstruction of venous outflow. Both of these mechanisms produce poor venous return. Additionally, poor mobility and decreased calf muscle pump function are thought to be contributing factors. Life-long use of compressive therapy is indicated in patients with chronic venous disease in lower extremities. It reduces ambulatory venous pressure. These include bandaging systems, garments (stockings), or devices.

In essence, culture has values that are capable of being inherited and carried out along with the development of society. In carrying out our daily lives we cannot be separated from cultural elements, every thing we do and we do in life is greatly influenced by local culture. Culture is also used as a guide for making decisions in the fields of social, legal, economic and inherited through communication from one generation to the next, so that generations inherited have the toughness in living their lives. As stated by Geertz in (Rusdi Yunus, 2014: 1) that culture is a pattern of meaning manifested in symbols and passed down from generation to generation. In other words, culture is the work of humans who are able to produce and develop human knowledge and attitudes towards life that are inherited through communication and learning.
Umbrales de precipitación basados en intensidad para crecidas torrenciales en la quebrada Manizales, Colombia.
Authors: Castillo Ruales Antonio
Published: February 2020

Los umbrales de precipitación tradicionales, basados en curvas de magnitud-duración, no permiten establecer un tiempo de antelación (TA) adecuado para Sistemas de Alerta Temprana (SAT) sobre cuencas sin información de radar meteorológico y con tiempos de concentración cortos. Este trabajo propone la determinación de umbrales de precipitación independientes de la duración del evento, a partir de la correlación de la precipitación, medida en tiempo real en la parte alta de la cuenca, con los niveles resultantes aguas abajo. El estudio se realizó sobre la quebrada Manizales, Caldas (Colombia), la cual ha presentado eventos de crecidas torrenciales que se han agravado por los procesos y efectos de la urbanización. La modelación hidrológica distribuida en TETIS incluyó patrones locales de distribución de precipitación, y los parámetros hidráulicos del flujo fueron evaluados con el modelo bidimensional IBER, a partir de tres estados de riesgo. Los resultados sugieren que la cuenca es altamente sensible a los cambios de intensidad y no tanto para la magnitud de la lluvia, por lo tanto, se propone una metodología para umbrales en base a la lluvia acumulada móvil de 10 minutos a partir del inicio del evento para ser implementado en SAT de la ciudad de Manizales.
Features of the district bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Siberia in the 19th century
Authors: Konovalov Igor A.
Published: February 2020

The subject. The reorganization of the district police in Siberia in the second half of the XIX century is comprehensively examined in the article on the basis of pre-revolutionary legislation. Special attention is paid to the organizational and legal issues of the activities and structure of the district police.

The purpose of the paper is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that the practice of implementing legislative innovations on the status of internal affairs bodies in Siberia in the 19th century was characterized by systematic seizures and violations.

The theoretical and methodological basis of the study includes the principles of historical knowledge – objectivity, historicism, alternative and social approach. These principles let use an unbiased approach to the analysis of the studied problems, as well as a critical attitude to the sources.

The main results and scope of their application. The author concludes that the powers of the police bodies in the region had their own specifics and were much broader than in the central provinces of the Russian Empire. Reorganization of the general police in Siberia in the second half of the XIX century changed the structure and method of staffing the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was not principled, but rather external. Returning to the forgotten traditions of the organization and activities of the police, it is important to take full account of the historical experience that has been accumulated over the centuries. It is also necessary, taking into account modern realities, to take a fresh look at the already known facts and events in order to overcome old myths and misconceptions and prevent the birth of new ones.

Conclusions. The police reform of 1867 in Siberia left almost unchanged the limits of power, the distribution of duties, procedures, responsibility and accountability of the general police. A large range of prerogatives remained for the police. In addition, many police officers continued to work the old-fashioned way, trying to ignore changes in the current legislation. The legislator failed to put the Siberian internal Affairs bodies in the strict framework of the law, it was recognized by local leaders and visiting auditors.
Online voting as an element of cybersecurity of megacities
Authors: Ivanova Xenia A.
Published: February 2020

The subject. The author explores the possibility of online voting during the elections from the perspective of urban security.

The purpose of the paper is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that introduction of online voting in the elections in large cities contributes to the growth of the electorate’s confidence and reduction of absenteeism, but only if cybersecurity of metropolises is ensured.

The methodology of the study includes general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, description) and the method of comparative law.

The main results and scope of their application. The very essence of online voting involves the use of a dedicated Internet platform and digital devices. This method has many advantages, including the ability to attract many people, the convenience and reliability of the whole process, as well as the automatic calculation of results. However, the issue of online voting in large cities directly affects the problem of ensuring their cybersecurity. Electronic voting can be subject to certain risks like any Internet procedure. Some of them have their own offline counterparts, such as the sale of votes. Others are unique to the digital environment, such as cyber violations and DDoS-attacks.

Conclusions. Electronic voting helps to solve the problem of low voters’ turnout, unites communities, universities, companies and people. This new process must be protected from any potential threats to security.

An inefficient voter authentication procedure can adversely affect the reliability of the entire online voting system. Hacking the authentication system can lead to fraud and theft of data and votes. The blockchain system provides effective protection against such hacks and cyberattacks. It would be effective if it was possible to download a special anti-virus program from the election commission website to clean the user's computer from malicious content or at least check the presence of viral content. The license key of such a program may be valid only for the period of the elections. The decision against forcing an electronic vote for a particular candidate can be made by an online voting system that allows you to change your choice several times.  We need well-thought-out training and advanced training programmes for state and municipal employees, including programmes for initial technical training, to reduce security risks. It is necessary to train possible users of the online voting system, since the security of a computer or smartphone, the absence of virus programs, as well as the timeliness of voting are in the area of responsibility of online voters. Online voting may not be the only way a voter can express his or her will. It is always necessary to keep the possibility of classical voting by paper ballots.

Pasca berakhirnya perang dingin, fokus negara-negara di dunia ini tidak lagi terhadap peningkatan kekuatan militer untuk menghadapi ancaman dari negara lain melainkan lebih kepada peningkatan perekonomian negara dimana persaingan dunia mulai beralih dari militer ke ekonomi. Dalam rangka melindungi dan mempertahankan salah satu sektor ekonomi strategis nya, Indonesia dan Malaysia yang semula berkompetisi dalam pasar CPO Internasional justru membuat kerjasama dengan membentuk Dewan Sawit atau CPOPC (Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries). Dewan tersebut dibuat untuk mempromosikan serta meningkatkan daya saing minyak kelapa sawit yang kerap kali mendapat sorotan negatif dari negara lain, terutama dari negara-negara Eropa. Sebagai dua negara produsen terbesar sawit dunia, Indonesia dan Malaysia cenderung pasif dalam menentukan harga, dan standar sawit mereka sendiri dan kerap mendapat kecaman terhadap industri sawitnya yang dinilai tidak ramah lingkungan. Kata kunci: Keamanan Ekonomi, Kerjasama, CPO, CPOPC

Abstract: This study assesses the feasibility of co-management arrangements in managing scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus) fishery in the Sultanate of Oman. The appraisal is conducted using various indicators involving pre-implementation phase and institutional characteristics and substantiated by findings of the review of relevant local and global literature and the results of a structured questionnaire survey conducted during 9-28 June, 2013 with 536 randomly selected fishers from three Governorates namely Sharqiyah, Al-Wusta, and Dhofar. The former method helps identifying suitable assessment criteria and provides indication of readiness while the later method helps determining primary stakeholders’ perceived views on various aspects of regulatory measures and co-management arrangements. While findings related to fishers’ commitments, willingness to support government decisions, willingness to participate in co-operative research, and preference for co-operative decision-making are promising, institutional weaknesses identified under the category of ‘interactive organization’, ‘resource ownership and control’, ‘existence of planned process’, and ‘diversity’ should be of major concerns for policy-makers in moving towards co-management arrangements. Based on the findings some policy implications are also discussed.

Skin lesions were reported in a group of quarantined Omani native cattle for exportation purpose during January 2018. The skin lesions were reported in 17 animals out of 140 and were scattered over the head, neck, back and perineal region of the animals. Lesions varied from paint-brush matted hairs to wart-like lesions that are up to 2 cm in diameter. Skin scraping samples were obtained from the living animals and were directly stained with gram stain. Histologically, there was severe multifocal exudative dermatitis with hyperkeratosis. Dermis was infiltrated with neutrophils, mononuclear cells, and numerous branching filaments coccoid bodies. Bacterial culture on sheep blood agar revealed gray to white, beta hemolytic, raised and irregularly shaped colonies. Gram staining showed gram positive branching filaments with both transverse and longitudinal fragments formed from packs of coccoid cells confined with Dermatophilus congolensis. Animals were treated successfully with 3 doses of intra muscular injection of long-acting oxytetracycline with topical application of antibiotic spray. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of dermatophilosis in Omani cattle.

Budaya patriarki menjadi akar dari tejadinya opresi terhadap perempuan dan alam. Budaya patriarki memiliki andil besar dalam pembentukan perilaku perempuan dalam pengelolaan lingkungan hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan presisi analisis tentang bagaimana konstruksi sosial budaya terhadap perilaku perempuan dalam pengelolaan lingkungan hidup. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku perempuan dalam pengelolaan lingkungan hidup di pulau Bontosua merupakan hasil dari konstruksi sosial yang melalui tiga dimensi yaitu eksternalisasi merupakan aktivitas yang dilakukan perempuan dalam pengelolaan alam seperti membuang sampah di laut, membakar sampah plastik, menggunakan ulang botol plastik bekas, menanam pohon, mengurangi penggunanaan produk tidak ramah lingkungan. Obyektivasi merupakan proses perempuan mulai memperhatikan feedback dari aktivitas eksternalnya misalnya membuang sampah ke laut bukanlah sesuatu yang salah karena mereka tidak mendapatkan dampak langsung dari aktivitasnya tersebut. Internalisasi yaitu perempuan mulai menerima, mengendapkan serta mengulang-ulang perilakunya dalam pengelolaan lingkungan hidup. Dari analisis sosiologis tersebut, terlihat bahwa perilaku perempuan dalam pengelolaan lingkungan di pulau Bontosua cenderung tidak proaktif dikarenakan proses konstruksi sosialnya yang memang kurang memperhatikan isu lingkungan.
