Authors: Versteegden Dirk , van Himbeeck Magaly , Burghoorn Anne W , Lovei Peter , Deckers Eva , Jansen Jos-Marien , Nienhuijs Simon
Published: March 2022

Background

To maintain the benefits of a bariatric procedure, patients have to change their lifestyle permanently. This happens within a context of coresponsibilities of health care professionals and their social support system. However, most interventions are focused on the patient as an individual. In this explorative pilot study, behavioral, contextual, and experiential data were gathered to obtain insight on coresponsibility.

Objective

The aim of this study is to explore the use of trackers by patients who have undergone bariatric surgery in a data-enabled design approach.

Methods

Behavioral and contextual data on the households of patients who have undergone bariatric surgery were explored using a smartphone with an interactive user interface (UI), weight scale, activity bracelet, smart socket, accelerometer motion sensor, and event button to find examples of opportunities for future interventions.

Results

A total of 6 households were monitored. Approximately 483,000 data points were collected, and the participants engaged in 1483 conversations with the system. Examples were found using different combinations of data types, which provided the obesity team a better understanding of patient behaviors and their support system, such as a referral to a family coach instead of a dietician. Another finding regarding the partners was, for example, that the conversational UI system facilitated discussion about the support structure by asking for awareness.

Conclusions

An intelligent system using a combination of quantitative data gathered by data tracking products in the home environment and qualitative data gathered by app-enhanced short conversations, as well as face-to-face interviews, is useful for an improved understanding of coresponsibilities in the households of patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. The examples found in this explorative study so far encourage research in this field.

Authors: Nørlev Jannie , Derosche Christina , Sondrup Katrine , Hejlesen Ole , Hangaard Stine
Published: March 2022

Background

The complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D) can be delayed or prevented in children with T1D who receive proper self-management education. Smartphone-based serious games are increasingly being used as an effective tool for teaching self-management. When developing a serious game, it is important that the development process be user-centered. Traditionally, different face-to-face methods have been used when children participate in the development process. However, face-to-face data collection is not always feasible. In such situations, distance communication can be used when developing a serious game.

Objective

The objective of this study is to develop a user-centered smartphone-based serious game that teaches self-management focused on carbohydrate intake in children aged 8-14 years with T1D using distance communication in both the development and evaluation of the game.

Methods

The development and evaluation of a smartphone-based serious game prototype was inspired by the Lean principles, and a user-centered approach was applied. The development process included 1 expert interview and design workshops with children with T1D. On the basis of the interview and design workshop results, a serious game prototype was developed using Microsoft PowerPoint. The evaluation of the serious game prototype included an interview with a dietitian and a playtest with children with T1D. All data were collected using distance communication.

Results

A user-centered smartphone-based serious game prototype was developed and evaluated. The expert interview with the dietitian formed the basis for the learning outcomes in the game. Four children and their parents contributed to the preferences, needs, requirements, and ideas for selected parts of the game design. The dietitian evaluated the prototype positively and validated its content and accuracy. The serious game prototype was well-received by the children and their parents during the playtest. The serious game prototype was perceived as a useful and engaging way to learn. However, the difficulty level was not appropriate, and the information was too basic for participants who had been diagnosed over a year ago. The use of digital communication platforms did not cause any problems.

Conclusions

The smartphone-based serious game prototype has the potential to be a useful and attractive tool for teaching disease self-management. The use of distance communication proved to be a useful approach in the development of a serious game.

ATTEMPTED PREDATION OF Physalaemus erikae (ANURA, LEPTODACTYLIDAE) BY Xenopholis scalaris (WUCHERER, 1861; COLUMBRIDAE) IN THE SOUTHERN BAHIA, BRAZIL.
Authors: De Abreu Leonardo Marques , De Matos Santos João Emanoel , Dos Santos Marcos Vieira , Ribeiro Maurivan Vaz
Published: March 2022

Interactions between predator and prey are important components for the structuring of terrestrial communities. Anurans are considered the main food item for snakes. Xenopholis scalaris has a wide geographic distribution, occupying the Amazon Forest and Atlantic Forest, inhabiting primary and secondary forests in humid environments. Anurans are one of the main food items that make up its diet. Other studies have reported unsuccessful predation attempts of this species on frogs of the family Leptodactylidae. The frog Physalaemus erikae is an endemic species from the southern region of Bahia state, eastern Brazil, occupying habitats on the edge of the Atlantic Forest, clearings, and cocoa plantations (Cabrucas). The case of the unsuccessful attempt at predation on the species involved in the event described here may be due to the size of the prey and the prey's ability to strongly resist the predator's capture.

Authors: Anisah Tiara Nur , Miswanto Miswanto
Published: March 2022

The study investigates the moderating effect of celebrity preference and hedonism personality on the relationship between perceived intrusiveness, consumer attention, and intention to purchase internet users by applying SOR Theory as a foundation. This study focuses on K-Popers among teenagers. A total of 400 samples were used in this study. The sample is split into two groups, with 200 samples including advertisements that fit the respondents' preferences and have a high hedonism personality and 200 samples containing advertisements that didn’t fit the respondents' preferences and have a low hedonism personality. Multi-group moderation was performed using AMOS ver.22 with the stats tools package software, and data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 16. As expected, the higher the level of distraction perceived by the user, the lower consumer attention to the advertisement. In contrast, the less distracted individuals are, the more attention they pay to commercials. Then, the more individuals pay attention to the ads, the more likely they are to make a purchase. According to additional research, celebrity preference and hedonism personality are proven to be moderate.

Published: March 2022

Face recognition is one of the most approachable and accessible authentication methods. It is also accepted by users, as it is non-invasive. However, aging results in changes in the texture and shape of a face. Hence, age is one of the factors that decreases the accuracy of face recognition. Face aging, or age progression, is thus a significant challenge in face recognition methods. This paper presents the use of artificial neural network with model-agnostic meta-learning (ANN-MAML) for face-aging recognition. Model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) is a meta-learning method used to train a model using parameters obtained from identical tasks with certain updates. This study aims to design and model a framework to recognize face aging based on artificial neural network. In addition, the face-aging recognition framework is evaluated against previous frameworks. Furthermore, the performance and the accuracy of ANN-MAML was evaluated using the CALFW (Cross-Age LFW) dataset. A comparison with other methods showed superior performance by ANN-MAML.

Introduction. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis and pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis are the most common pulmonary cystic diseases. Although they differ in pathogenesis, they share several features. The aim of this paper is to present the similarities and differences between these diseases, as well as to describe two cases from our practice. Outlines of cases. The patient with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (43 years old) had pulmonary changes detected during a regular examination within the underlying disease ? tuberous sclerosis. Four years after starting therapy with everolimus, she was still respiratory asymptomatic, a slight radiological deterioration of cystic changes was registered, the diffusion capacity was declining (by 12%). The second patient (23 years old) was admitted due to bilateral radiological lung changes and symptoms in the form of dry cough, quick fatigue, and chest pain. Pathohistological examination of the transbronchial biopsy showed numerous large-core histiocytes, immunohistochemically positive for CD1a and S100, so it was concluded that it was Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Cessation of smoking was advised. The follow-up examinations showed withdrawal of symptoms and an orderly finding of lung function, chest high-resolution computed tomography indicated slight regression of changes. In the meantime, the patient gave birth to a healthy child, the pregnancy and prenatal period were uneventful. Conclusion. These diseases are extremely rare and in cooperation with other specialties should be distinguished from diseases that mimic lung cysts.

Jelly candy is a confectionery product that can be processed into various variations, both in colors, raw materials and flavors. The addition of food ingredients can be used to increase the nutrients in food products, like jelly candy. The purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is one of the types of tubers that are commonly found in Indonesia. The use of purple sweet potatoes in Indonesia is still every low. The purple sweet potato also has a fairly high fiber content, which is equal to 4,59%. Apart from fiber, purple sweet potato extract also has antioxidant activity. Raw purple sweet potato extract had an IC50 value of 5,00 ppm, steamed purple sweet potato extract had an IC50 value of 47,82 ppm, and boiled purple sweet potato extract had an IC50 value of 86,22 ppm. In addition to purple sweet potatoes, a plant that has good antioxidant activity is blue pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.), with and IC50 value of 41,36 ppm. The Blue pea flower gets its blue color from the anthocyanin. The blue color of this flower can be used as a natural food coloring, which is much safer than use the synthetic one. Thus, these two ingredients that are high in antioxidants can be used as additional ingredients in the formulation of jelly candy as an addition to nutritional value and natural food coloring.

Authors: Cajetan Ifeanyi Casmir Ifeanyichukwu , Aribike Janet , Ikeneche Nkiruka Florence , Ukwueze Lovina Nkechi , Iroegbu Gladys Adaku
Published: March 2022

Background: Empirically, exclusive breastfeeding has proved invaluable in the reduction of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and infant mortality particularly of children under-five years. Regrettably, breastfeeding practice is not widespread in most resource-poor sub-Saharan countries in Africa including Nigeria.

Objective: This study assessed the practice of exclusive breastfeeding of infants for the first-six months of life by HIV-positive mothers after receiving care for prevention of mother-to-child transmission.

Methods: Between February 2019 and September 2021, a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 388 HIV-positive mothers receiving care for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV at the Gwarinpa General Hospital in Abuja Municipal Area Council. HIV-positive mothers were enrolled and assessed for their practice of exclusive breastfeeding for the first-six months of the infant life. Structured questionnaires were used to survey for their socio-demographics, reproductive history, HIV and exclusive breastfeeding characteristics. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science version SPSS 24.

Results: Overall, 68% of the HIV-positive mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. Majority, 83% of the HIV-positive mothers had knowledge of the nutritional benefits of breast milk in the first-six months of infant’s life. In addition, 75% of them are aware that babies exclusively breastfed are healthier than those not so breastfed. Religious beliefs and education status positively influenced exclusive breastfeeding in 82% and 55% of the mothers respectively. However, 69% of HIV-positive mothers attest they had no communal norms and taboos against exclusive breastfeeding. In contrast, mothers’ occupation negatively influenced exclusive breastfeeding in 36% of the studied subjects.

Conclusion: This study found a significant increase in the rate of exclusive breastfeeding by HIV-positive mothers. It is evident that the practice of exclusive breastfeeding by HIV-positive mothers is dependent on their level of knowledge and awareness of its benefits in the first-six months of infant’s life.
Environmental Consequences Of the Capital Relocation In the Republic Of Kazakhstan
Authors: Koldobskaya Natalia A.
Published: March 2022

The large-scale socio-economic and political changes that have taken place in the post-Soviet space since the early 1990s have led to cardinal transformations of the economy and settlement in the former Soviet republics. The purpose of the study is to identify patterns and main features of the transformation of the environmental situation in the old and new capitals of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The subject of this article is the ecological transformation in former and modern capitals of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which was affected not only by post-Soviet changes but also by the transfer of capital functions from Almaty to Nur-Sultan. For a comprehensive analysis of the situation, the state of atmospheric air, water, soil and green spaces were considered. Quantitative calculations and qualitative assessment of the ecological situation showed that the environmental situation of both cities in 2020 was very similar, but the environmental state transformation index does not reach the level of Almaty due to the higher self-cleaning potential of the city and a newer and, accordingly, more environmentally friendly traffic flow. In two cities over the past 20 years, we registered a negative trend in impact level on water sources: a decrease in water consumption in Almaty by 45%, in Nur-Sultan by 27% since 2000. Modernization of plumbing and sewerage systems can reduce water leaks and improve wastewater transport to wastewater treatment plants. In 1998–2020, the environmental situation in Nur-Sultan changed much faster than in Almaty due to the low base effect and the transfer of capital functions because of the emissions from motor transport. However, for Almaty and Nur-Sultan, it can be concluded that the environmental situation by 2020 had been deteriorating much faster than it improved after the collapse of the USSR.
An Analysis of Retelling FolkloresThrough the Contemporary Interpretations in Modern Fictions
Authors: Bavchandbhai Patel Gaurang
Published: March 2022

The proposed article will look at a few texts by contemporary famous fiction writers. The study looks at how these writings show a range of different perspectives toward the performers and occurrences in ancient folklore. One can see the interpretations of ancient folklore through legendary stories, and writers use ancient folklore in a modern way.

We are excited to know our traditions and culture through reading and writing about them. Modern authors have retold ancient Indian culture with contemporary situations by attributing scientific explanations to traditional cultural ethics.

The paper focuses on modern writers who have written in contrast with our own ancient Indian mythical tales with new modern imagination, modern problems, and solutions.
From vulnerable to resilient: ‘Fixing’ mechanisms and ‘unfixing’ practices in Onehunga, Auckland
Authors: Sybil Bloomfield , Yue Yu
Published: March 2022

This paper explores “fixing” mechanisms initiated by “unfixing” practices: de-paving, stepping back from the shoreline, decommissioning, repurposing industrial facilities, blurring property lines, and eliminating maladaptations. Through a speculative masterplan for the Auckland suburb of Onehunga, the paper proposes a shift in community investment to prioritise ecological and social infrastructure that responds to climate change and population growth pressures. In particular, it explores the spatial possibilities provided by nomadic and (un)fixed inhabitation models. Acknowledging the property-rights paradigm of modernity, it speculates on a different land-use strategy that shifts away from the anthropocentric lifestyle underpinned by our capitalist economy and society. Instead of storing property value, the paper aims to cache resources, skills, and experiences in the landscape, ultimately building adaptability across various scales.
Drawing the unfixed
Authors: Simon Twose , Jules Moloney , Anastasia Globa , Lawrence Harvey
Published: March 2022

This article reflects on creative practice employing multi-modal architectural drawing to sketch natural phenomena: expanded drawing. The work explores unfixed, intangible conditions within phenomena, conditions at the cusp of awareness, spatially felt as much as known by other means. Through multi-sensory drawing installations, phenomena such as oceanic immensity, seismic latency, and shapeshifting bushfires are sketched. The installations immerse participants within virtual, sculptural, and sonic sketches, intensifying phenomena’s abstract presence in a sympoiēsis of human and more-than-human dynamics. Three projects in the series are reflected upon as to their strategies for capturing unfixed conditions in expanded, hybrid sketches. Architectural drawing’s traditional openness, material dynamics, and capacity for imaginative projection, are shown to be intensified, through physical and digital sketch media, crossing unfixed drawing with unfixed phenomena.

Cauza justificativă a consimţământului exprimat de persoane juridice
Authors: Herinean Dorel
Published: March 2022

Premisa articolului este consimțământul exprimat de o persoană juridică privit din perspectiva cauzei justificative, care ridică numeroase probleme spinoase, dată fiind multitudinea de forme de organizare a persoanelor juridice şi specificul fiecăreia dintre acestea. Cauza justificativă a consimţământului este o instituţie mai rar analizată şi aprofundată în legătură cu o gamă largă de infracţiuni, fiind, cu precădere, discutată în legătură cu infracţiunile „de şcoală”, cum ar fi cele contra persoanei sau contra patrimoniului.

Întrucât în practica judiciară se invocă deseori această cauză justificativă în cazul unor fapte prevăzute de legea penală comise împotriva unor persoane juridice, am considerat importantă şi relevantă analiza exprimării voinţei persoanei juridice şi din poziţia de subiect pasiv al unei infracţiuni, considerând că analiza conduitei persoanelor juridice atunci când sunt periclitate valorile sociale ale căror titular sunt acestea completează şi susţine tabloul răspunderii penale a persoanei juridice.

Dincolo de condiţiile privind valabilitatea, actualitatea şi caracterul determinat al consimţământului, care ridică o serie de probleme specifice în cazul persoanelor juridice, sfera valorilor sociale disponibile unei persoane juridice este destul de restrânsă şi se întrepătrunde de multe ori cu alte valori sociale al căror titular este statul, astfel încât disponibilitatea acestora este o problemă extrem de delicată, care este aptă să genereze discuţii. Astfel, prezentul articol şi-a propus, prin analiza punctuală a majorităţii infracţiunilor din Codul penal şi din legi speciale considerate relevante, să studieze disponibilitatea valorilor sociale ocrotite şi să invite la conturarea unor linii directoare pentru practica judiciară.

De asemenea, după cum se arată în cuprinsul articolului, un consimţământ exprimat de o persoană juridică în privinţa comiterii unei fapte prevăzute de legea penală împotriva sa transcende uneori sfera cauzelor justificative şi poate avea efecte în privinţa atragerii răspunderii penale a persoanei juridice respective, chiar dacă o astfel de concluzie pare, la prima vedere, contraintuitivă.
Mandat european de arestare. Motivul opţional de refuz vizând săvârşirea infracţiunii pe teritoriul României. Criterii şi repere în funcţie de care instanţa se pronunţă asupra executării
Authors: Ștefan Cristian Valentin
Published: March 2022

Autoritatea judiciară competentă din România poate refuza executarea mandatului european de arestare, dacă acesta a fost emis (în cursul urmăririi) pentru infracţiuni care, potrivit legii penale române, sunt săvârşite pe teritoriul României. Totuşi, incidenţa unui motiv opţional de refuz nu împiedică prin ea însăşi executarea. Trebuie să se examineze toate împrejurările cauzei.

Sintagmei „împrejurări ale cauzei” i se circumscriu diverse criterii în funcţie de care instanţa se pronunţă asupra executării mandatului european de arestare. Un astfel de criteriu este locul unde urmărirea are un mai bun aport la soluţionarea raportului juridic penal de conflict în integralitatea lui şi unde principiul aflării adevărului este mai bine respectat. Acest loc se poate situa în statul solicitant, când se dispune executarea, sau în statul solicitat, când se refuză executarea.

Dacă urmărirea se efectuează în ambele state, alegerea trebuie să se facă în funcţie de repere precum: sta tul în care există o mai mare siguranţă că întreaga activitate infracţională va fi cercetată; statul în care urmărirea este într-un stadiu mai avansat; statul în care probele se administrează mai uşor.
Exigenţe de ordin probator pentru stabilirea alcoolemiei în cazul infracţiunii de conducere a unui vehicul sub influenţa alcoolului sau a altor substanţe
Authors: Nestor Raul Alexandru
Published: March 2022

Deşi legiuitorul a încercat să simplifice sistemul de probă în materia infracţiunii de conducere a unui vehicul pe drumurile publice cu depăşirea limitei legale a îmbibaţiei alcoolice, reglementarea acestui sistem a fost considerată neconstituţională. Curtea Constituţională a României a considerat că nivelul alcoolemiei de la momentul conducerii vehiculului, şi nu nivelul din momentul prelevării de probe, este relevant pentru existenţa condiţiilor de tipicitate ale infracţiunii. În absenţa unei modificări legislative a condiţiilor de incriminare, în practica instanţelor de judecată s-a revenit la posibilitatea pronunţării condamnării numai dacă au fost prelevate două probe de sânge, fiind obligatorie stabilirea nivelului de alcool din sânge la momentul conducerii pe drumurile publice a vehiculului, deci la un moment dat înainte de depistarea şi oprirea în trafic a conducătorului auto.
