User Engagement Metrics and Patterns in Phendo, an Endometriosis Research Mobile App
Authors: Elhadad Noemie , Urteaga Iñigo , Lipsky-Gorman Sharon , McKillop Mollie
Published: July 2022

We characterize short-term and long-term user engagement patterns in a self-tracking, mobile health app. We introduce and define engagement metrics to capture the quantity, duration, and density of participant engagement according to different domains of self-tracking. We focus our study on Phendo, a research app designed for participants to self-track their experiences of endometriosis ---a chronic disease in women of reproductive age.

Given a cohort of Phendo participants with at least one initial week of use, we analyze their engagement patterns based on amount and timing of daily app usage and stratify them according to their short-term engagement patterns, i.e., within their first 12 weeks of app-use. Given the overall cohort and its stratified short-term participant engagement groups, we then assess overall longitudinal engagement patterns with the app beyond the first 12 weeks, as well as with disease-specific self-tracking domain types.

We identify four groups of participants in the Phendo cohort (n=4,993) according to their short-term engagement: Regulars, Usuals, Occasionals, and Seldoms. Participants across the groups do not differ in disease status or demographics, except for age and education. We find that, while the stratification is based on a short-term period, the groups continue to exhibit distinct longitudinal engagement patterns in the long-term (up to 4 years). We also find that Regulars are more likely to engage with self-tracking related to disease self-management than the other groups.

These findings have implications for the design of research mobile apps, as certain functionalities like tracking of self-management, might yield longer and richer engagement with certain types of participants, even if self-management is not part of the original intent of the research app. More broadly, our proposed engagement metrics and analyses provide a roadmap for exploring participant engagement patterns in mobile research apps.

Published: July 2022

This paper presents a methodology to evaluate life safety risk of coastal communities vulnerable to seismic and tsunami hazards. The work explicitly incorporates two important aspects in tsunami evacuation modeling: (1) the effect of earthquake-induced damage to buildings on building egress time, (2) the effect of earthquake-induced debris on horizontal evacuation time. The city of Seaside, Oregon, is selected as a testbed community. The hazard is based on a megathrust earthquake and tsunami from the Cascadia Subduction Zone that was defined in a previous study. The built environment consists of buildings and the transportation network for the city. Fragility analysis is used to estimate the seismic damage to buildings and resulting debris that covers portions of the road network. The horizontal evacuation time is determined based on the shortest path to shelters, including the increased travel time due to the earthquake-generated debris. The effects of different mitigation strategies are quantified. Results indicate the fatality and life safety risk of a near-field tsunami increases by 4.2 to 8.3 times when the effects of building egress and earthquake-induced debris are considered. The choice of population layer affects the life safety risk and thus the maximum risk is obtained when daytime populations are considered. Use of mitigation strategies result in a significant decrease in the number of fatalities. For hazards with recurrence intervals larger than 500-years, the vertical evacuation is the most effective strategy in reducing fatalities and associated risks. Implementing all mitigation strategies reduces the life safety risk by 90%.

Published: July 2022

Background: The dysphagia-aspiration related structures (DARS) play an integral role in the normal swallowing mechanism. This study was done with the purpose of evaluating the feasibility of sparing DARS in various head and neck cancer sites treated with definitive DARS optimized intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and concurrent chemotherapy.Methods: Target volumes, organs at risk and in addition individual DARS were delineated including the superior, middle, and inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscles, supraglottic and glottic larynx, base of tongue, esophageal inlet muscles and cervical esophagus in 35 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Volume based dose constraints were applied to the DARS outside the planning target volume (PTV). IMRT plan was then generated to limit doses to DARS without compromising PTV dose coverage. Results: Twelve (34.3%) patients had an oropharyngeal primary (OPX),18 (51.4%) had a laryngeal and 5 (14.3%) patients had hypophyaryngeal primary. The mean dose to the DARS was 47.93Gy for the entire group while it was 54.6Gy in oropharyngeal primaries and 44.4Gy in laryngopharyngeal primaries. DARS mean dose of ≤45Gy could be achieved in a significantly lesser number of patients with oropharyngeal primaries (p<0.02). Similarly, DARS mean dose was 42.25Gy in patients with N0 disease, 49.6Gy with ipsilateral involved nodes, and 55Gy with bilateral disease. Sparing of DARS was feasible when the volume of PTV was ≤150cc (p<0.025).Conclusion: Sparing of DARS structures appears to be challenging in patients with oropharyngeal cancers without compromising the dose to the PTVs while it is feasible in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers. DARS sparing is feasible when the PTV volume is ≤150cc and in patients with negative or unilateral nodal disease.Trial Registration: This study was registered retrospectively with the Clinical Trials Registry of India on 9th November 2017. The registration number is CTRI/2017/11/010442.

Insufficient dietary folate intake, hereditary malabsorption, or defects in folate metabolism may lead to combined immunodeficiency (CID). Although loss of function mutations in the major intestinal folate transporter PCFT/SLC46A1 was shown to be associated with CID, the evidence for pathogenic variants of RFC/SLC19A1 resulting in immunodeficiency was lacking. In this study, we report two cousins carrying a homozygous pathogenic variant c.1042G>A, resulting in p.G348R substitution who showed clinical symptoms of immunodeficiency associated with defects of folate metabolism. The mutation was identified by whole-exome sequencing. SLC19A1 expression by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was quantified by real-time qPCR and immunostaining. T cell proliferation, methotrexate resistance, NK cell cytotoxicity, Treg cells and cytokine production by T cells were examined by flow cytometric assays. Both patients were treated with and clinically benefited from folinic acid (FA). Functional studies revealed normal NK cell cytotoxicity, Treg cell counts, and naive-memory T cell percentages. Although SLC19A1 mRNA and protein expression were unaltered, remarkably, mitogen induced-T cell proliferation was significantly reduced at sub- and supraoptimal folic acid concentrations. In addition, both patients’ PBMCs were resistant to methotrexate-induced apoptosis supporting a functionally defective SLC19A1 variant. This study, to our knowledge, presents the second pathogenic SLC19A1 variant in the literature, providing the first experimental evidence that loss of function mutations in SLC19A1 may present with symptoms of immunodeficiency, and that those defects could benefit from FA supplementation.

Lead (Pb) is a corrosion-resistant, heavy, non-ferrous metal with widespread environmental pollution. Several metal chelators have been used in the treatment of Pb poisoning. However, the effect of sodium para-aminosalicylic acid（PAS-Na）on Pb excretion has yet to be reported. To investigate the effects of PAS-Na on Pb excretion, a mouse model of acute lead exposure was established. Healthy mice (90) received abdominal injection (i.p.) of 120 mg/kg Pb acetate, and 4 h later 80, 160, 240 mg/kg PAS-Na, or 240 mg/kg edetate calcium disodium (CaNa2EDTA) were injected subcutaneously (s.c.) once per day for 6 days into the corresponding groups, respectively. The Control, Pb-exposed, PAS-Na and CaNa2EDTA groups were evaluated simultaneously. After collecting 24 h urine samples, the animals were sacrificed in batches on the 2nd, 4th, 6th day. Levels of Pb and other metal elements [including manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu)] in the urine, whole blood and brain tissues were analyzed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The results showed that lead exposure increased Pb levels in urine and blood of mice, and PAS-Na treatment afforded antagonistic effect against Pb-induced toxicity. While additional studies will be needed, these novel results establish PAS-Na as a potential efficacious treatment for mitigating Pb-induced toxicity.
Topography Optimization of Cylindrical Shells With Cutouts for Maximum Buckling Strength
Authors: Gokyer Yusuf , Sonmez Fazil O.
Published: July 2022

In the presence of cutouts, the buckling strength of shell structures under compression significantly decreases. In order to compensate this, these structures are reinforced with stiffeners. In this study, the objective is to optimize the stiffener geometry and pattern on a cylindrical shell with two square holes to maximize the buckling load capacity without increase in its weight. A finite element model is developed to evaluate the buckling load of the structure. A good correlation is observed between the nonlinear analysis results of the model and the numerical and experimental results reported in the literature. Optimization is achieved in two levels. In the first level, topography optimization is performed to obtain the optimal stiffener pattern over the shell surface based on linear eigenvalue buckling analysis. In the second level, the stiffener heights and the shell thickness are optimized using a local search algorithm, Nelder-Mead; the buckling load levels are obtained by carrying out nonlinear buckling analyses in ANSYS. A Python code is developed to implement the optimization method and conduct analyses in ANSYS. The results show that stiffeners need to be introduced around the cutouts and the regions near the top and bottom edges for maximum buckling load capacity. The results also reveal that stiffeners on the mid lateral surfaces of the cylinder do not make significant contribution to the buckling strength. The bucking load of the optimized stiffened geometry is 22% higher than that of the unreinforced geometry having the same weight.
Discovery of Two-Dimensional Binary Nanoparticle Superlattices Using Global Monte Carlo Optimization
Authors: Zhou Yilong , Arya Gaurav
Published: July 2022

Binary nanoparticle (NP) superlattices exhibit distinct collective plasmonic, magnetic, optical, and electronic properties. Here, we demonstrate how fluid-fluid interfaces could be used to self- assemble binary systems of NPs into 2D superlattices when the NP species exhibit different miscibility with the fluids forming the interface. We develop a basin-hopping Monte Carlo algorithm tailored for interface-trapped structures to rapidly determine the ground-state configuration of NPs, allowing us to explore the repertoire of binary NP architectures formed at the interface. By varying the NP size ratio, interparticle interaction strength, and difference in NP miscibility with the two fluids, we demonstrate the assembly of an array of exquisite 2D periodic architectures, including AB-, AB2-, and AB3-type monolayer superlattices as well as AB-, A3B5-, and A4B6-type bilayer superlattices. Our results suggest that the interfacial assembly approach could be a versatile platform for fabricating 2D colloidal superlattices with tunable structure and properties.
Scientific strategies associated with mitigating the challenges in predicting track and intensity of cyclones across the world basins
Authors: Singh Vivek
Published: July 2022

The present study analyses the scientific strategies associated with mitigating the challenges in predicting track and intensity of cyclones across the world basins. The relevant ‘51’ original publications on predicting track and intensity of cyclones across the world basins utilising numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, machine learning and satellite based approach were chosen using a focused orderly search and were used to develop the selection benchmarks for the systematic literature review. According to our review, out of selected ‘51’ studies, a total of ‘19’(37.25%) and ‘12’ (23.52%) and ‘9’ (17.64%) studies were focused on Pacific (including south China sea) Atlantic and North Indian Ocean (NIO) basins respectively. Three studies were conducted over both the Pacific and Atlantic Basins. However, the remaining ‘8’ studies were not over any specific basin. After 2015, the widespread use of machine based algorithm and analysis began, with a focus on the improvement in intensity prediction of TCs. Satellite based approach was employed in nearly all of the studies, and data assimilation techniques were in nascent stage during 2006-2013. To create detailed cyclone prediction track and intensity of cyclones across the world basins, a balance among data assimilation systems, modelling systems, and machine learning to uncover predictability drivers is necessary. Globally, predicting track and intensity of cyclones should take into account future climate change scenarios in the world basins. In order to gain improvement in this direction, further research is needed to fill in the knowledge gaps that have been identified.

Sayısal Yükseklik Modeli (SYM) verisi birçok mühendislik disiplini için arazi yükseklik bilgileri içermesinden dolayı oldukça önemlidir. Uzaktan algılamada mikrodalga görüntüler yardımı ile SYM üretiminde, stereoskopik ve interferometrik yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Mikrodalga görüntülerin bu alanda kullanılmasındaki en büyük etken ise gece-gündüz alım yapabilmeleri ve kar, yağmur gibi hava koşulundan etkilenmemeleridir. Mikrodalga algılayıcı sistemler, yörünge etrafında alçalan veya yükselen yönde hareket ederek algılama yaparlar. Bu çalışmada TerraSAR-X verileri ile Erciyes Dağı’nda seçilen bir pilot bölgede SYM üretimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Aynı zamanda SAR görüntülerinin uyumluluk verileri kullanılarak iki yörüngeye ait veriler füzyon edilmiştir. Alçalan, yükselen yörünge ve füzyon görüntüler için ayrı ayrı üretilen SYM’ler arazi ölçmelerinden elde edilen yükseklik bilgileri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Karşılaştırma işlemlerinde istatistiksel analizler uygulanmıştır. İstatistiksel analizler sonucunda sırasıyla yükselen yörünge, alçalan yörünge ve füzyon korelasyon katsayısı değerleri 0.892, 0.894 ve 0.934 bulunmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde, kullanılan füzyon yönteminin sonuçları pozitif yönde iyileştirdiği görülmüştür.

Molecular Detection of OXA-type Carbapenemases among Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from Burn Patients and Hospital Environments
Authors: Bakhshi Fatemeh , Firoozeh Farzaneh , Badmasti Farzad , Dadashi Masoud , Zibaei Mohammad , Khaledi Azad
Published: July 2022

Background:

Acinetobacter baumanniiis known as one of the major causes of nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care units and burn patients. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in burn wound bacterial pathogens is a severe health crisis. Detection of carbapenem resistance and genetic elements inA. baumanniiassociated with burn patients and hospital environments play a key role in the control and alerting in clinical settings.

Purpose:

In this study, the prevalence of OXA-type carbapenemases was investigated inA. baumanniistrains isolated from burn patients and from a hospital environment in Tehran, 2021.

Methods:

A total of 85 non-duplicateA. baumanniiisolates (53 from various surfaces of the hospital environment and 32 from burn patients) were recovered in the Burns Hospital in Tehran. TheA. baumanniiisolates were screened for antibiotic susceptibility and the presence of the most common OXA-type carbapenemase genes.

Results:

A. baumanniiwas isolated from 38.5% of hospital patient burn wounds and 22.1% of surfaces, including burn units (15.6%) and intensive care units (52.4%). Antibiotic susceptibility results showed that (100%) of burn patient isolates were resistant to imipenem, while (100%) of ICU isolates and (96.8%) of burn isolates were resistant to imipenem. All clinical isolates were identified as MDR and XDR, whereas all (100%) and 98.1% of environmental isolates were identified as MDR and XDR, respectively. All studiedA. baumanniiisolates carriedblaOXA-51-likegene. Moreover, 50 (94.3%) and 49 (92.5%) of environmental isolates, 32 (100%) and 30 (93.7%) of burn patient isolate harboredblaOXA-23-likeandblaOXA-24/40–likegenes, respectively. None of the isolates carried theblaOXA-58orblaOXA-143genes and all isolates had at least 2 OXA-type carbapenemase genes.

Conclusion:

Our results suggest that surfaces in the hospital environment, particularly in ICUs, are contaminated with MDR or XDRA. baumanniistrains. They may be considered a potential reservoir for the colonization of hospital patients. In addition, OXA-type carbapenemases, including OXA-23-like and OXA-24/40-like, appear to be one of the major mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in the clinical and environmentalA. baumanniistrains.

Published: July 2022

Nowadays, access to drinking water services in Indonesia still not on SDG's target where 100% of society should have access to clean water. Based on data from the ministry of public works and public housing (2015), there are only 59,7 percent of Indonesians receiving piped water access through the Indonesian regional water utility company (PDAM) and only 7,474 villages (from 72.944 villages) have been supported to establish community-based organizations (HIPPAM) to manage local water supply services. Sumberrejo village is one of the villages which can manage water by establishing HIPPAM. Therefore, it is necessary to know the social capital through the social structure of Sumberrejo society. The aim of this research is to trace the social capital in Sumberrejo village through the community participation so that HIPPAM Tirta Buana can be formed. This research use SNA (Social Network Analysis) as a method to know the social network of society which is measured by density, centrality and participation level. From the calculation of SNA can be seen that the value of density, centrality, and level of community participation in Sumberrejo village is good. The bonds formed from the HIPPAM community are strong. The result of this research can be concluded that the existing social capital is a bonding social capital which can be developed by utilizing actors with high centrality value in order to deliver information related to clean water.
Us læwe prins en harre. Ta de assosjatyf yn it Frysk
Authors: Hoekstra J.
Published: July 2022

This article discusses the development of the associative plurals X en har(re) (lit. ‘X and them’) and X en dy (lit. ‘X and those’) in Modern West Frisian, the latter of which gradually replaced the former in the 20eth century. For harre in the former construction two possible historical analyses can be taken into consideration: harre may have been either the object form of the 3rd person plural personal pronoun (‘them’) or the substantively used form of the 3rd person plural possessive pronoun (‘theirs’). In the latter case the plural possessive pronoun must have expressed family membership rather than plural possession. Whatever the right historical analysis may be, in the course of its development har(re) was effectively considered as the object form (‘them’). Since the associative plural X en har(re) then became to be regarded as somewhat inappropriate in subject position - as also witnessed by the discussion in the prescriptive grammars - it was ousted by the associative plural X en dy, perhaps initially originating from Town Frisian.

The Jangkah Nusantara Community is one of the manuscript-loving communities that has successfully launched a website with the address Jangkah.id. The site has several menus in the form of news, popular articles, information about scriptoriums, manuscript researchers, etc. This web is certainly useful, for the community itself and also for people in general, as a source of information that can distribute knowledge related to ancient manuscripts and their contents. However, since its launching, not many posts have been accessible in it. The approach to community stakeholder results in finding the problem that the members of the community still find it difficult to write popular article on the website. At the same time, they also have difficulties in reading Javanese sources. For these reasons, community service activities are conducted in two forms of training, namely: (1) Translation Class; and (2) Popular Writing Class, by inviting competent speakers/presenters. The objectives of these activities are (1) to develop the potential of the members of the Jangkah Nusantara Community as actors in the recontextualization of Javanese manuscript studies to wider community; and (2) to initiate internal community activities that aim at increasing the knowledge and capacity of its members.

Published: July 2022

Objective: In Indian scenario, there is a huge gap between the patient and health care workers leading to self-medication practices, antibiotic resistance, and adverse drug reactions. These emerging issues aggravate the need of providing a detailed package inserts (PI) in every drug formulations. Hence, this study was conducted with the objective to assess the completeness of a package insert and evaluate the content of information in PI among national and international pharmaceutical brands.
Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, and observational study was conducted over 50 PI belonging to different class of antibiotic eye drops and same antibiotic from different pharmaceutical companies. Medication belonged to both international and national pharmaceutical companies and they were evaluated according to standards laid down by Drugs and Cosmetic Act (1940) and Rules (1945) covered under the section 6.2 and 6.3.
Results: The content of information was haphazard in both national and international PI but international PI was more valuable. International PI had clear information regarding warning and precautions and adverse effects. List of excipients, shelf life, storage indication, and handling were very well demarcated in both the level of pharmaceuticals.
Conclusions: The study revealed major lacunae in the context of package insert with reference to prevailing guidelines. The most of the brands did not have PI and the quality of information in package insert of international brand was more superior to national brands.
