Published: August 2021

Introducción. Existe poca evidencia que sustente la utilidad del uso de aplicaciones móviles en la atención del adulto mayor. GeriatriApp es una aplicación creada para dispositivos Android que busca facilitar al profesional de salud la realización de la valoración geriátrica integral (VGI) e integra la evaluación funcional, nutricional, cognitivo, emocional, farmacológico, fragilidad y sarcopenia. El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar la utilidad percibida entre los usuarios de la App al momento de realizar la VGI, así como el efecto en la toma de decisiones y evaluar posibles diferencias entre el personal de salud. Metodología. Estudio descriptivo de corte trasversal, tipo encuesta entre usuarios de GeriatriApp, se indaga por aspectos demográficos, educativos y de percepción de utilidad de la App. Resultados. Se analizaron 228 encuestas. El 29% fueron médicos especialistas, 18% médicos generales, 17% estudiantes de medicina y 12% médicos residentes. El grupo de edad con mayor frecuencia de uso de la App se encuentra entre 20 y 30 años (39%). El principal escenario de práctica profesional fue el hospitalario (40.1%), seguido de atención primaria (31.6%). El 63% utilizó la App entre 1 y 5 veces por semana. Durante el análisis estadístico no se encontró diferencia significativa en la frecuencia de uso según la edad (p = 0.631), ni el nivel de formación (p = 0.749). Para el 98% de los encuestados la App facilitó la práctica clínica profesional y la toma de decisiones, y en el 99% permitió identificar problemas en el adulto mayor en menor tiempo. Discusión. La aplicación estudiada tuvo un alcance internacional, lo que demuestra el potencial de este tipo de tecnologías. La mayor cantidad de usuarios fueron menores de 30 años, posiblemente explicado por su mayor contacto y experiencia con la tecnología móvil. No se encontraron diferencias en la frecuencia de uso según la edad, un hallazgo inesperado respecto a otros estudios. La percepción favorable de la aplicación parece estar secundada por su gratuidad, la utilidad de sus herramientas y una interfaz de uso sencilla. Conclusiones. GeriatriApp tiene una percepción favorable de utilidad entre el personal de la salud, permite realizar una valoración geriátrica en corto periodo de tiempo, facilita atención y toma de decisiones en el adulto mayor. Los resultados sugieren su utilidad en escenarios hospitalarios, atención primaria, centros de rehabilitación y hogares geriátricos.

Authors: Oliveira Fatine Conceição , Mantovani Camila Maciel Campolina Alves
Published: August 2021

Em 2020, o mundo teve como principal desafio adaptar-se diante de uma mudança estrutural nas relações cotidianas, incluindo novos hábitos com o uso de máscaras, protocolos de segurança sanitária e o isolamento social como medidas de enfrentamento à pandemia da Covid-19. Partindo do entendimento de que situações de crise, em escala global, podem influir no agravamento de desigualdades sociais, políticas e econômicas dos sujeitos, vemos que, no Brasil, a falta de informações confiáveis sobre o coronavírus e a ausência de políticas públicas que visem garantir o acesso da população à saúde contribuem fortemente para aumentar o risco de contaminação e, consequentemente, o número de mortes pela Covid-19. Diante desse contexto, nós nos propusemos a acompanhar a participação do Coletivo Feminista Helen Keller na campanha #CompartilheInformação #CompartilheSaúde realizada no Instagram pela ONG Artigo 19, no intuito observar suas redes de apoio e diálogos realizados em encontros virtuais por meio de lives, webinários com temas relacionados a saúde, autocuidado e violência contra as mulheres com deficiência. Nesse exercício, foi possível perceber como as dinâmicas de mobilidade e imobilidade, que se alternam em ambientes reais e digitais, conformaram-se para criar novos espaços de diálogos e interações nesses contextos.

The co-movement of Bitcoin and some African currencies – A wavelet analysis
Authors: Okonkwo Chidi U. , Osu Bright O. , Chighoub Farid , Oruh Ben I.
Published: August 2021

This paper investigated the co-movement between the bitcoin (BTC) and the exchange rates of some African currencies to the USD (United States Dollars) using the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and wavelet coherence (WTC). This was done for the noisy as well as the denoised series. The CWT for the noisy series suggests high volatility for those who hold the currencies for the short term and low volatility for those who hold the currencies for a long-term period. The CWT of the denoised series suggests that volatility at low frequency is driven by noise, while volatility at a higher frequency is driven by market forces. The wavelet coherence suggests that in the presence of noise, bitcoin will be a hedge for the currencies. However, in the absence of noise, bitcoin is a haven for the Egyptian EGP, followed by the Algerian DZD, then the Nigerian NGN, and may not be a haven for the South African ZAR.

Published: August 2021

Kisar sweet orange is an endemic fruit and primary commodity from Kisar Island, Southwest Maluku Regency - Maluku Province. Currently, Kisar sweet orangeswere only consumed as fresh fruit during this time, partially processed into juice and the peels were discarded as wastes. Kisar sweet orange peels can be processed into essential oil to increase their economic value. The essential oil made from orange peels is highly preferable, especially for the middle to upper-class consumers, for health and air-freshening purposes.  This essential oil has a higher selling value. This research aims at isolating and identifying the chemical components and quality of essential oil made from Kisar sweet orange peels. This essential oil was isolated using a steam distillation method, and its chemical components were identified using GC-MS instruments.. The research results showed that the essential oil made from Kisar sweet orange peels dried with a cabinet dryer for two days utilizing the steam distillation method provides a yield of 0.53%, with its properties of specific gravity of 0.8457, refractive index of 1.4651 (20°C), acid number of 1.92, ester number of 8.05, and solubility in alcohol of 1:9. The main chemical component of the essential oil made from Kisar sweet orange peels detected by GC-MS is limonene (70.80%).

Purpose

Several studies suggest that the relation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). EBV and HL associations are reported at rates ranging from 20% to 100% that varies nationally and regionally. In this study; in the case of Hodgkin's lymphoma, the presence of EBV encoded RNA (EBER) by in situ hybridization method and it’s distribution according to histopathological subtypes were investigated.

Methods

We investigated the presence of EBV in Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosed 107 adult cases between 2013 and 2017, which chromogenic in situ hybridization with EBV RNA probe has been in routine use were evaluated retrospectively with pathology reports.

Results

There were 69 males and 38. Nodular Sclerosis Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (NSCHL) was the most common (63 cases, 58,9%) followed by Mixed Cellularity Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (MCCHL) (23 cases,21,5%). EBV was expressed in 40 cases (45,4%). High EBV association was found with NSCHL (50%) and MCCHL (48%). None of NLPHL was positive with EBER.

Conclusion

In our series NSCHL is the most common histologic subtype and has higher percentages of EBV positivity as reported in developed countries. Our study has the largest series of patients investigating the relationship between HL and EBER in our country. For further comments more studies, particularly from Turkey, are needed to determine the actual epidemiological pattern of HL in the region and to define the role of EBV in HL.
Situation on the Global Coal Market during the Recovery of the World Economy after the COVID-19 Crisis
Authors: Kondratiev V.B.
Published: August 2021

The global economic recovery in 2021 will lead to a recovery in coal demand after a significant drop in 2020 caused by the Covid-19 crisis. There is no indication that the global coal consumption will decline significantly in the coming years, as increased demand in some Asian countries will offset declines in others. Based on the assumption of a global economic recovery, experts forecast a 2.6% growth in the global coal demand in 2021, driven by an increased demand for electricity and industrial production. The economies of China, India and Southeast Asia account for most of the growth. The future of coal will largely be decided in Asia. Today, China and India account for 65% of the world's coal demand. Taking into account Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, this share rises to 75%. China will be particularly influential, as it currently accounts for half of the world's coal consumption. By 2025, the European Union and the United States will account for less than 10% of global coal demand, down from 37% in 2000.

Published: August 2021

Objective: To assess postoperative clinical functional outcomes, based on the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, of tendoscopies performed in the treatment of foot and ankle pathologies. Methods: Our comparative assessment used AOFAS scores obtained preoperatively and at early and late postoperative stages - 1 month and 6 to 12 months after surgery - of 14 patients with foot and ankle tendinopathies. These included peroneal tendon dislocation, peroneal tendonitis, and tearing of the peroneus longus or brevis, all treated with tendoscopy for peroneal reconstruction and tenorrhaphy. The AOFAS score was obtained by functional assessment during outpatient physical examination. We presented a descriptive analysis of cases, comparing scores over time through the Friedman test followed by Dunn’s test. The relationship between score variations and sex was assessed using the Mann-Whitney test; their comparison with age used Spearman’s linear correlation coefficient. Significance levels were 5%.Results: The AOFAS score showed important improvements such as preoperative scores of 56 and 67 followed by postoperative scores of 100 both in the early and late stages, supporting the efficacy and persistence of this treatment strategy. The p-value obtained after statistical analysis was <0.0001. Conclusion: We concluded that the treatment of foot and ankle comorbidities with tendoscopy, in addition to being less invasive, shows consistency and efficacy as demonstrated by the AOFAS score and functional assessment via postoperative physical examinations. AOFAS scores were increased and maintained at high levels in the postoperative period, demonstrating the efficacy of this procedure and the duration of treatment results.

Industrial production of graphene by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) requires more than the ability to synthesize large domain, high quality graphene in a lab reactor. The integration of graphene in the fabrication process of electronic devices requires the cost-effective and environmentally-friendly production of graphene on dielectric substrates, but current approaches can only produce graphene on metal catalysts. Sustainable manufacturing of graphene should also conserve the catalyst and reaction gases, but today the metal catalysts are typically dissolved after synthesis. Progress toward these objectives is hindered by the hundreds of coupled synthesis parameters that can strongly affect CVD of low-dimensional materials, and poor communication in the published literature of the rich experimental data that exists in individual laboratories. We report here on a platform, “Graphene – Recipes for synthesis of high quality material” (Gr-ResQ: pronounced graphene rescue), that includes powerful new tools for data-driven graphene synthesis. At the core of Gr-ResQ is a crowd-sourced database of CVD synthesis recipes and associated experimental results. The database captures ∼300 parameters ranging from synthesis conditions like catalyst material and preparation steps, to ambient lab temperature and reactor details, as well as resulting Raman spectra and microscopy images. These parameters are carefully selected to unlock the potential of machine-learning models to advance synthesis. A suite of associated tools enable fast, automated and standardized processing of Raman spectra and scanning electron microscopy images. To facilitate community-based efforts, Gr-ResQ provides tools for cyber-physical collaborations among research groups, allowing experiments to be designed, executed, and analyzed by different teams. Gr-ResQ also allows publication and discovery of recipes via the Materials Data Facility (MDF), which assigns each recipe a unique identifier when published and collects parameters in a search index. We envision that this holistic approach to data-driven synthesis can accelerate CVD recipe discovery and production control, and open opportunities for advancing not only graphene, but also many other 1D and 2D materials.
Heterogeneity in temporal dynamics of pain and affect among individuals with chronic back pain and associations with risk for future opioid-related problems
Authors: Frumkin Madelyn , Carpenter Ryan William , Rodebaugh Thomas
Published: August 2021

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a biopsychosocial phenomenon involving complex relationships between pain and psychosocial factors. In preregistered analyses, we examined dynamic relationships between pain and negative affect among individuals with CLBP (N = 87). We found that increased negative affect was concurrently and prospectively associated with increased pain for individuals on average. However, there was significant and meaningful between-person variability in these effects, such that risk for future opioid-related problems was positively associated with the within-persons correlation between pain and negative affect (β = 0.290, 95% credible interval [CI] = [0.071, 0.485]), the degree to which pain predicted increased negative affect (β = 0.439, 95% CI = [0.044, 0.717]), and the autoregressive effect of negative affect over 4-hr lags (β = 0.255, 95% CI = [0.007, 0.478]). These results suggest that variability in within-person symptom dynamics may help identify chronic pain patients who are at greater risk of opioid-related problems.

Published: August 2021

Background: There exists substantial heterogeneity in the developmental trajectories of ADHD symptoms, with distinctions often made between persistent versus remittent, and early- versus late-onset. However, how these trajectories relate to late adolescent functioning and whether, in particular, later onset trajectories mark a milder subtype remains unclear. Methods: We applied latent class growth analysis to data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study (N = 16,703) to evaluate whether developmental trajectories of ADHD symptoms (ages 3-17) were associated with differing levels of impairment in peer problems, mental health, substance use, and delinquency at age 17. Results: Our optimal model included five trajectory groups, labelled unaffected (37.6%), mildly affected (34.8%), subclinical remitting (14.4%), adolescent onset (7.6%), and stable high (5.6%). Adolescent onset and stable high trajectories were similarly impaired across all outcomes, other than substance use. Subclinical remitting individuals were impaired on self-esteem and well-being compared to unaffected individuals. Conclusions: By adolescence, those with a later onset have similar impairments to those following an early onset/persistent trajectory. Residual impairment remains for those on a remitting trajectory.
Collecting, Modeling, and Visualizing Network Data from Educators: A Tutorial
Authors: Neal Jennifer Watling , Neal Zachary P.
Published: August 2021

Understanding educators’ networks can inform the field of school psychology by offering insight into how the structure of social relationships supports the implementation of school-based programs. However, the difficulties of collecting and modeling network data remain barriers to using network methods in school psychology. To overcome these barriers, we provide a step-by-step tutorial for collecting, modeling, and visualizing network data from educators. We draw on an example from a study designed to understand advice networks among middle and high school educators involved in implementing a system-level intervention to prevent school dropout.
An Examination of the Motivations to Maintain, Approach, and Avoid by Proximity to the Ideal State
Authors: Ecker Yael , Imhoff Roland
Published: August 2021

The current research examined the motivations to maintain, approach, and avoid at different distances from one’s ideal state. Although keeping things as they are (maintenance) is often equated with avoiding changes, we predicted pronounced differences between these goals’ motivation gradients. We reasoned that maintenance goals are energized by positive current states, leading motivation to increase with proximity to the ideal. Avoidance, in contrast, is energized by threat, and therefore decreases with proximity to the ideal, which implicates reduced threat. Three studies (N = 599) found a robust pattern wherein the motivation gradient of maintenance is distinct from both approach and avoidance. Participants reported motivation in hypothetical scenarios in the domains of financial gain and weight loss. The motivation to maintain increased with proximity to the ideal state, while both motivations to approach and avoid decreased. Our results support a ternary goal distinction and may inspire future research in that direction.
Suicidality and Mood: The Impact of Trends, Seasons, Day of the Week, and Time of Day on Implicit and Explicit Cognitions
Authors: Freichel René , O'Shea Brian
Published: August 2021

Decades of research have established seasonality effects on completed and attempted suicides, with rates increasing in spring. Little advancements have been made to explain this phenomenon, with most studies focusing almost exclusively on the number of suicide attempts and deaths. Using more than six years of data collected among a US, UK, and Canadian online community sample (N > 10,000), we used newly developed Prophet forecasting and autoregressive-integrated moving average time-series models to examine the temporal dynamics of explicit and implicit self-harm cognitions. We created three groups (past suicide attempters; suicide ideation and/or non-suicidal self-injury; no previous self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or behaviors). We found a general increase of negative self-harm cognitions across the six years and seasonality effects for mood and desire to die, particularly among those who previously made a suicide attempt. Negative explicit self-harm cognitions peaked in winter (December), with implicit self-harm showing a lagged peak of two months (February). Moreover, daily negative self-harm cognitions consistently peaked around 4-5 am, with implicit cognitions again showing a lagged effect (1-hour). Limitations include the volunteer sample not being representative and the cross-sectional nature of the data being unable to separate between-subject and within-subject structural trends in the time series. Our findings show that negative explicit and implicit cognitions precede the rise in suicidal behaviors in spring. We proposed a conceptual model of seasonal suicide risk that may offer fertile ground for theoretical advancements, including having implications for clinical risk assessment and public policies regarding the availability of health services.

There is growing consensus among the scientific community members about the urgency of debating ways to promote Open Science (OS). However, the notion of OS itself has been highly controversial, encompassing different meanings and values. Two distinct conceptions have emerged: the first highlights principles such as acceleration, efficiency, and reproducibility; the second perspective is grounded in participation, social justice, and democratization of knowledge. Both models accomplish distinct goals while facing specific limits and challenges to improve scientific production. Even though the first conception has become more celebrated among some top-ranked journals, we question approaches that standardize scientific practices, neglect global diversity, and undermine the importance of local contexts. By discussing the pioneering role that researchers and journals in Latin America have played toward a pluralistic interpretation of OS, this article contributes to a more nuanced understanding of scientific production in the Global South.

Use of Geo-Informatics in Flood Hazard Mapping: A Case of Balkhu River
Authors: Dangol Susheel
Published: August 2021

Flood is one of the striking water induced disaster that hits most of the part of the world. In Nepal also it is one of the serious disasters which affect the study describes the technical approach of probable flood hazard analysis. Segment of Balkhu River within the Balkhu catchment of area 44.37 km2 from Kirtipur gorge to Bagmati confluence was taken as area of study. The total length of the study segment was 5485.89 m. One dimension HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System) model was used for the analysis. The study shows that higher flood depth increases and low flood depth decreases with increase in intensity of flood. Also, huge area of barren land area is affected by flood and few percentage of settlement area is affected by flood indicating the damages to the human lives. Huge area of barren land indicates that in future human lives are more prone to disasters as those lands have gone through planning for future settlement.Nepalese Journal on Geoinformatics -13, 2014, Page: 52-57
