Application of eHealth Tools in Anticoagulation Management After Cardiac Valve Replacement: Scoping Review Coupled With Bibliometric Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Wu Ying , Wang Xiaohui , Zhou Mengyao , Huang Zhuoer , Liu Lijuan , Cong Li
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Anticoagulation management can effectively prevent complications in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement (CVR). The emergence of eHealth tools provides new prospects for the management of long-term anticoagulants. However, there is no comprehensive summary of the application of eHealth tools in anticoagulation management after CVR.

OBJECTIVE

Our objective is to clarify the current state, trends, benefits, and challenges of using eHealth tools in the anticoagulation management of patients after CVR and provide future directions and recommendations for development in this field.

METHODS

This scoping review follows the 5-step framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley. We searched 5 databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Embase using keywords such as “eHealth,” “anticoagulation,” and “valve replacement.” We included papers on the practical application of eHealth tools and excluded papers describing the underlying mechanisms for developing eHealth tools. The search time ranged from the database inception to March 1, 2023. The study findings were reported according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews). Additionally, VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) was used to construct visualization maps of countries, institutions, authors, and keywords to investigate the internal relations of included literature and to explore research hotspots and frontiers.

RESULTS

This study included 25 studies that fulfilled the criteria. There were 27,050 participants in total, with the sample size of the included studies ranging from 49 to 13,219. The eHealth tools mainly include computer-based support systems, electronic health records, telemedicine platforms, and mobile apps. Compared to traditional anticoagulation management, eHealth tools can improve time in therapeutic range and life satisfaction. However, there is no significant impact observed in terms of economic benefits and anticoagulation-related complications. Bibliometric analysis suggests the potential for increased collaboration and opportunities among countries and academic institutions. Italy had the widest cooperative relationships. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are the popular research directions in anticoagulation management.

CONCLUSIONS

eHealth tools exhibit promise for clinical applications in anticoagulation management after CVR, with the potential to enhance postoperative rehabilitation. Further high-quality research is needed to explore the economic benefits of eHealth tools in long-term anticoagulant therapy and the potential to reduce the occurrence of adverse events.
Chinese Women’s Concept of Childbirth Based on the Social Media Topic “What Does Childbirth Mean to a Woman”: Content and Thematic Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Yang Ting , Wu Yihan , Han Nuo , Liu Tianli
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

In recent years, women’s fertility desire has attracted increasing attention in China.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to detect attitudes toward giving birth among young female users on Douban, a very popular Chinese social media platform.

METHODS

A total of 2634 valid posts from 2489 users discussing the topic “What does childbirth mean to a woman” on Douban were crawled and retained for analysis. We utilized content and thematic analysis methods to capture users’ concepts of childbirth.

RESULTS

The findings reveal that a significant majority of users conveyed generally neutral (1060/2634, 40.24%) or negative (1051/2634, 39.90%) attitudes toward childbirth, while only about one-fifth of users expressed positive (523/2634, 19.86%) sentiments. Notably, posts with negative attitudes garnered more replies and likes, and the proportion of posts expressing negativity exhibited fluctuations over time. Health risk (339/2634, 12.87%) emerged as the most frequently cited aspect of childbirth cost, with subjective happiness and the fulfillment of mental needs identified as primary benefits. Surprisingly, only a minimal number of posts (10/2634, 0.38%) touched upon the traditional objective benefits of raising children for old-age care. Thematic analysis results suggest that discussions about fertility on social media platforms might contribute to an exaggerated perception of health risks among women. Additionally, a lack of knowledge about childbirth was observed, partially attributable to longstanding neglect and avoidance of communication on these matters, likely influenced by traditional cultural biases. Moreover, there is a prevailing assumption that women should naturally sacrifice themselves for childbirth and childcare, influenced by the idealization of the female figure. Consequently, women may harbor hesitations about having a baby, fearing the potential loss of their own identity in the process.

CONCLUSIONS

The results indicate a shift in the perception of childbirth among modern Chinese women over time, influenced by their increasing social status and the pursuit of self-realization. Implementing strategies such as public education on the health risks associated with pregnancy and delivery, safeguarding women’s rights, and creating a supportive environment for mothers may enhance women’s willingness to undergo childbirth.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) has been critical in medical education since 1992, testing various aspects of a medical student’s knowledge and skills through different steps, based on their training level. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including chatbots like ChatGPT, are emerging technologies with potential applications in medicine. However, comprehensive studies analyzing ChatGPT’s performance on USMLE Step 3 in large-scale scenarios and comparing different versions of ChatGPT are limited.

OBJECTIVE

This paper aimed to analyze ChatGPT’s performance on USMLE Step 3 practice test questions to better elucidate the strengths and weaknesses of AI use in medical education and deduce evidence-based strategies to counteract AI cheating.

METHODS

A total of 2069 USMLE Step 3 practice questions were extracted from the AMBOSS study platform. After including 229 image-based questions, a total of 1840 text-based questions were further categorized and entered into ChatGPT 3.5, while a subset of 229 questions were entered into ChatGPT 4. Responses were recorded, and the accuracy of ChatGPT answers as well as its performance in different test question categories and for different difficulty levels were compared between both versions.

RESULTS

Overall, ChatGPT 4 demonstrated a statistically significant superior performance compared to ChatGPT 3.5, achieving an accuracy of 84.7% (194/229) and 56.9% (1047/1840), respectively. A noteworthy correlation was observed between the length of test questions and the performance of ChatGPT 3.5 (ρ=–0.069; P=.003), which was absent in ChatGPT 4 (P=.87). Additionally, the difficulty of test questions, as categorized by AMBOSS hammer ratings, showed a statistically significant correlation with performance for both ChatGPT versions, with ρ=–0.289 for ChatGPT 3.5 and ρ=–0.344 for ChatGPT 4. ChatGPT 4 surpassed ChatGPT 3.5 in all levels of test question difficulty, except for the 2 highest difficulty tiers (4 and 5 hammers), where statistical significance was not reached.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, ChatGPT 4 demonstrated remarkable proficiency in taking the USMLE Step 3, with an accuracy rate of 84.7% (194/229), outshining ChatGPT 3.5 with an accuracy rate of 56.9% (1047/1840). Although ChatGPT 4 performed exceptionally, it encountered difficulties in questions requiring the application of theoretical concepts, particularly in cardiology and neurology. These insights are pivotal for the development of examination strategies that are resilient to AI and underline the promising role of AI in the realm of medical education and diagnostics.

Authors: Bayu Muh. Kamim Anggalih
Published: January 2024

Kajian ini mendalami terkait upaya pelibatan institusi militer dalam mobilisasi petani untuk mencapai peningkatan produktivitas pangan melalui program Upsus Pajale. Program tersebut menjadi upaya dari Presiden Joko Widodo untuk melibatkan tentara, demi mencapai swasembada pangan pada tahun 2017. Studi ini adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan strategi studi kasus pada pelaksanaan program Upsus Pajale di Kabupaten Sleman pada tahun 2015–2017. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara mendalam, teknik dokumentasi, dan triangulasi. Berbeda dengan studi sebelumnya yang melihat bahwa peran militer dalam program pangan disebabkan oleh faktor doktrin dan kelembagaan militer, hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa peran otoritas politik dalam menerjemahkan kebijakan pangan sebagai bagian dari sektor pertahanan telah memberikan ruang bagi militer terlibat pada program pangan. Adanya Reformasi tahun 1998 yang mendorong penataan internal angkatan bersenjata tidak lantas menghilangkan peran militer dalam program pangan sebagai konsekuensi dari tafsiran otoritas politik mengenai ancaman internal pertahanan dan keamanan. Kehidupan petani kembali berada pada subordinasi militer yang menjadi alat penguasa untuk menyukseskan peningkatan produksi pertanian melalui program Upsus Pajale.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Cho Han-A , Lee Jung-Eun
Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to suggest directions for the future oral health promotion through oral health education. We analyze changes in social awareness of oral health education according to the period from the 1st to the 4th National Health Promotion Comprehensive Plan.
Methods The data for this study was collected through texts posted on Naver, Daum, Google, YouTube, and Twitter through a keyword search of ‘oral + education’. The period for collecting data was from January 1, 2002, when the 1st National Health Promotion Plan began, to December 31, 2020, when the 4th plan was completed. The frequencies of top 30 keywords were analyzed. In addition, the structural characteristics of the semantic network of keywords in each period were confirmed, and centrality analysis, QAP correlation analysis, and co-occurrence analysis were performed.
Results There were changes in the priorities of key keywords depending on the timing of the National Health Promotion Comprehensive Plan. After the third period, the frequency of ‘education’ and ‘health’ increased, and the frequency, centrality degree, and eigne-vector degree of ‘public health center’ increased compared to ‘elementary school.’ All correlation coefficients for each period were statistically significant. As a result of analysis of the frequency of co-occurrence, ‘health→education’ appeared highly in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd periods, while ‘education→implementation’ appeared highly in the 4th period.
Conclusions The impact of oral health policies was reflected in social awareness related to oral health education. However, as the correlation between each period was significant, there was no significant difference in the level of public awareness according to the period of the National Health Promotion Comprehensive Plan. The level of education implementation is low compared to the public's awareness of the need for oral health education, so efforts are needed to implement more universal oral health education in the future.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Chae Heeju , Shin Janghee , Lee Youngju
Published: January 2024

Objectives This study aims to identify changes in fashion marketing research and suggest a direction to move forward by analyzing the current status of fashion marketing research by academic journal overall.
Methods This study focuses on research related to fashion marketing among 6,452 papers published in a total of seven academic journals in the field of textiles and clothing from 2010 to 2022. The contents of study are analyzed based on the ratio published in related papers by textiles and clothing related academic journals, trends and ratios by academic journals according to research topics, comparison of research methodologies, and gender ratio of the study subjects.
Results The important points in this study are as follows. First, current fashion marketing related research is expanding its scope to various journals dealing with convergence studies as well as textile and clothing related journals. In addition, since various studies are being conducted in the category of fashion marketing, it seems necessary to consider to what extent fashion marketing should be categorized in terms of the perspective and area of research.
Conclusions This study analyzed the current status of fashion marketing research by academic journal, resulting in meaningful findings that suggest the direction not only of future research but also of the fashion industry. There is a limit to expanding and interpreting the research results of an integrated analysis of seven academic journals to the entire research of marketing studies. There have been no studies that have conducted an integrated analysis of a number of journals with regard to fashion marketing topics; in this respect, this study is very meaningful. Fashion marketing is a latecomer among textiles and clothing, and its history is shorter than other fields. However, as shown in this study, the pace of academic change is becoming more mature. Therefore, future oriented in-depth fashion marketing research focusing on the current fashion industry structure is continuously needed.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Suh MeeOck
Published: January 2024

Objectives This study examined to explore what kind of experiences and perceptions pre-service teachers had after applying problem based learning (PBL) to the teaching subjects. In addition, this study tried to verify what the pre-service teachers' specific problem solving skills were and how they evaluated the participation of themselves and their peers.
Methods In the study, 99 pre-service teachers participated, and they brainstormed on topics that could occur in the educational field in problem based learning (PBL), and created problem scenarios based on the contents derived from this. The pre-service teachers formed a group based on a topic of high interest among these scenarios and performed according to the stages of problem-oriented learning (PBL). In this process, reflection journals, self-evaluation, and peer evaluation data were collected for each scenario. Qualitative data was analyzed based on reflection diaries, and descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, and standard deviation based on self-assessment and peer evaluation were conducted.
Results The experiences and perceptions that pre-service teachers gained through problem-based learning (PBL) had both positive and negative aspects. Looking at the problem-solving methods derived from the scenarios by pre-service teachers, they did not yet have teaching experience, so they talked about ideas that were difficult to apply to the field, but realistic solutions were derived. Third, it was found that pre-service teachers rated peer evaluation higher than self-evaluation.
Conclusions By using problem based learning (PBL) in the teaching subjects, we were able to derive prospective teachers' sense of reality, and problem solving, at the same time, practice their role as techers while immersing themselves in problem scenarios, and encourage reflective reflection.

Mixotrophic and heterotrophic cultivation of different microalgae species on dairy by-products for further supplementation of poultry diet
Authors:   Laboratory of Industrial Microbiology and Food Biotechnology, Institute of Biology, University of Latvia, Kolesovs Sergejs , Semjonovs Pavels
Published: January 2024

Use of alternative cultivation substrates, for instance dairy industry by-products, can significantly reduce the production costs of microalgal biomass. However, dairy by-products are found to be problematic co-substrate for many microalgae, due to inability to hydrolyse lactose. The focus of this study was to assess the ability of microalgal strains to produce biomass in media supplemented with lactose, glucose and galactose. Among them only microalgae Chromochloris zofingiensis was capable to assimilate effectively all three sugars.
Fragile Responsibilization: Rights and Risks in the Bulgarian Response to Covid-19
Authors: Hristov Todor
Published: January 2024

This article discusses the Bulgarian response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Bulgarian case is characterized by an ineffective constitution of the individuals as subjects of responsibility for the health of the population, which resulted in a vaccine coverage considerably lower than the European average. The article argues that the fragile responsibilization is an effect of the response to the pandemic that, building on older post-socialist regulations of the access to healthcare, instead of restricting the circulation of bodies in general, tried to differentiate between economically productive and unproductive circulation and to limit only the latter by progressively increasing its differential costs (both in terms of time and efforts and in terms of risks). An analysis of the legal actions against quarantine violators, however, suggests that such a strategy stimulated the public to respond to the pandemic by calculating risks, and if the social actors nevertheless behaved irresponsibly, it was often because they took into account not only the risks posed by the virus but also smaller-scale risks affecting their social support networks. The authorities, however, tried to repair the unreliable responsibilization by articulating an ad hoc right to health defined at the level of the population. That biopolitical right to health was crucial to the implementation of certificate requirements. It was harmonized with individual rights by opening up fields of choice such as the choice between vaccination and daily testing. However, since the differential costs of the higher-risk options seemed irrational, the constellation of individual rights and right to health left a growing residue of irresponsible conducts justifying a further intensification of control.
Water Entrepreneurs, Infrastructural Citizenship, and State Power in Nigeria
Authors: Smith Daniel Jordan
Published: January 2024

In today’s world, entrepreneurialism is frequently promoted for its potential to address major global social problems. Entrepreneurs are often celebrated for their ability to achieve what governments and development programs commonly fail to do: deliver sustainable economic and social benefits to poor people in the Global South. Typically, entrepreneurship is seen as bypassing the state. This essay offers a different perspective, showing how, in Nigeria, entrepreneurial enterprises geared to provide access to potable water because the government fails to do so paradoxically serve the interests of those who control the state. Drawing on long-term ethnographic research in southeastern Nigeria, and using examples of private borehole vendors and “pure water” sachet manufacturers, I argue that ordinary people’s infrastructural entrepreneurialism not only requires regular engagement with government officials. It also contributes significantly to the experience of citizenship and the exercise and consolidation of state power.
Green Credit Policy and Corporate Green Innovation in China
Authors:   Asian Trade Association, d d
Published: January 2024

Purpose - The study aims to explore the impact of green-credit policies on the green innovation of Chinese enterprises and analyzes the moderating effects of green credit constraints on industry enterprises, as well as commercial credit and financing constraints.
Design/Methodology/Approach - In this paper, the theory of sustainable development, the Porter Hypothesis, and the theory of financing constraints are combined to analyze the impact of green credit policies on corporate green innovation using A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2021 as research samples. The Differences-in-Differences (DID) model is used. The DID model can eliminate the effects of time and individual fixed effects by comparing the differences between the treatment group and the control group, thereby providing a more accurate estimation of the policy’s impact.
Findings - The research results show that green credit policies have played an important role in promoting corporate green innovation. Enterprises actively engaged in green innovation have achieved good development after implementing green-credit policies through structural adjustments and improving market competitiveness.
Research Implications - The impact mechanism of green credit on the green innovation of industry enterprises can provide reference for the formulation and optimization of green financial policies, promote sustainable development of enterprises, realize the transformation and upgrading of the green economy, and have positive significance in promoting green governance and sustainable development.

O presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo estudar as cônicas sob o ponto de vista da “geometria exponencial". Esta geometria é construída no espaço vetorial dos pares ordenados de coordenadas positivas, ou seja, em R+ × R+. Para realizar este estudo definimos uma métrica adequada e observamos sua influência no aspecto geométrico das cônicas. Oestudo das cônicas utilizando métricas específicas tem obtido destaque recentemente, como é caso das cônicas na geometria do táxi e as cônicas no plano de Minkowski. O trabalho é complementado ao utilizarmos as operações de espaço vetorial para realizar um estudo sobre suas retas. Tais retas possuem, em geral, aspectos geométricos diferentes das retas do plano euclidiano, se assemelhando a essas somente em alguns casos particulares. De posse da métricaadotada também obtivemos uma fórmula para o cálculo da distância de um ponto a uma reta. A fórmula obtida tem certa semelhança com a fórmula da distância de ponto à reta na geometria euclidiana plana , mas envolve a utilização da função logarítmo. Por fim, a métrica é utilizada para a dedução da equação das cônicas. Com o auxílio do software de Geometria dinâmica Geogebra apresentamos visualizações geométricas das cônicas através de algumas situações particulares.

Considerando o cenário de produção de vídeos na Educação Matemática, a pesquisa relatada neste artigo propôs a análise do panorama das pesquisas que relacionavam uso ou produção de vídeos com representações matemáticas ou à multimodalidade para o ensino e aprendizagem matemática. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico com design qualitativo para o qual realizou-se uma revisão de literatura, considerando as pesquisas publicadas entre os anos de 2018 e 2022. Onze pesquisas foram selecionadas e as análises em profundidade levaram, a partir da codificação emergente, a três categorias referentes ao tipo de abordagem dada ao vídeo no que diz respeito ao seu papel no ensino e/ ou na aprendizagem matemática, a saber: Sala de aula – vídeos motivando alunos a aprender matemática; Representações e multimodalidade como potencialidade dos vídeos no discurso matemático; e Potencialidades dos vídeos no ensino de Matemática. Como resultado, concluiu-se que ainda há uma escassez de estudos que envolvem a temática de vídeos na Educação Matemática. No que se refere à produção de vídeos relatadas nas dissertações analisadas, foi notado que as discussões estão direcionadas à produção de conhecimento matemático a partir da contextualização, sem explorar as representações matemáticas como estratégia para a aprendizagem.

Financial technology (fintech) is a technological development in the financial sector since industrial revolution 4.0 begun. Fintech models is ranging from crowdfunding, peer to peer lending, investment management, payment, market aggregator. The paper argue that finctech is becoming daily lifestyle in urban area. The paper is tested acceptance of fintech as a payment method of 400 rural respondents Boyolali. By united theory of acceptance and use of technology, the study revealed that the variable values of performance expectations, social factors, facilitating conditions show an alpha value of less than 0.05 and the significance value indicates an adequate category, so the results show a relationship with user acceptance, while the effort expectation variable shows an alpha value of more than 0.05 and the significance value is included in the very weak category so that there is no effect on user acceptance. In the test results the moderating variable of experience can strengthen the relationship between social factor variables and conditions that facilitate user acceptance, but the moderating variable cannot strengthen the business expectation variable
