Authors: Karimi Dennis , Brorson Stig , Midtgaard Kaare S. , Fjalestad Tore , Paulsen Aksel , Olerud Per , Ekholm Carl , Wolf Olof , Viberg Bjarke
Published: December 2021

Background: The outcome of non-surgical treatment is generally good, but the treatment course can be long and painful with approximately a quarter of the patients acquiring a nonunion. Both surgical and non-surgical treatment can have disabling consequences such as nerve injury, infection and nonunion. The purpose of the study is to compare patient reported outcome after surgical and non-surgical treatment for humeral shaft fractures. Methods: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial is planned with two study groups (SHAFT-Y and SHAFT-E). A total of 287 eligible acute humeral shaft fractures are scheduled to be recruited and randomly allocated to surgical or non-surgical treatment with the option of early crossover due to delayed union. The surgical method within the allocation is decided by the surgeon. The primary outcome is the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score at 52 weeks, and is assessor blinded. The secondary outcomes are DASH score, EQ-5D-5L, pain assessed by visual analogue score, Constant-Murley score including elbow range of motion and anchor-questions collected at all timepoints throughout the trial. All complications will be reported including; infection, nerve or vascular injury, surgical revisions (implant malpositioning, hardware failure, aseptic loosening and peri-implant fracture), major adverse cardiovascular events, and mortality. Patients declining randomization will be asked to enroll into an observational cohort with same outcomes and post-treatment regimes. Discussion: SHAFT will provide information on the effectiveness of two standard treatments for humeral shaft fractures, while taking the dilemmas within the population into account. Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT04574336. Registered on 5 October 2020.

Published: December 2021

En momentos de crisis o amenaza la religión es uno de los principales recursos que utilizan las personas para ha- cer frente. El diagnóstico de cáncer y su tratamiento constituyen un evento especialmente demandante para cualquier persona. En concordancia con eso, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo verificar la relación entre afrontamiento religioso por medio de RCOPE y síntomas depresivos-ansiosos por medio del DASS-21, en pacientes oncológicos y grupo no oncológico. Este estudio de carácter cuantitativo, comparativo, correlacional y transversal se llevó a cabo en una muestra de 96 pacientes oncológicos del Hospital base Valdivia, Chile y grupo control de 102 sujetos. Los princi- pales resultados obtenidos comprueban el mayor uso del afrontamiento religioso por pacientes oncológicos en compa- ración a grupo control; la existencia de relación directamente proporcional entre afrontamiento religioso negativo y la presencia de síntomas depresivo-ansiosos; la ausencia de relación entre afrontamiento religioso positivo y la presencia de síntomas depresivo-ansiosos. Se concluye que la búsqueda de respaldo de medios religiosos resulta especialmente necesaria en periodos de crisis, como lo es el tratamiento de una enfermedad grave. Sin embargo, cuando hay una re- lación positiva con la deidad o lo religioso (afrontamiento positive), no necesariamente implicaría un efecto atenuante de síntomas ansiosos o depresivos, y más bien, el afrontamiento negativo, se puede esperar un aumento o disminución de este tipo de malestar. Por lo que resultaría conveniente en contexto de enfermedad grave enfocarse en disminuir la conflictividad religiosa como medio de atenuar síntomas depresivos y ansiosos.Palabras clave: religión, afrontamiento religioso, cáncer, depresión, ansiedad

Authors: De Macedo Fernando Cézar , Porto Leonardo Rodrigues
Published: December 2021

O presente texto apresenta uma discussão metodológica e uma breve análise regional dos dados de Produto Interno Bruto dos Municípios – ano de referência 2010, divulgados pelo IBGE, para o período de 2002 a 2015. O objetivo é contribuir para maior entendimento da dinâmica regional no país no período considerado. Dentre as conclusões destacam-se: a) a histórica e persistente concentração espacial da riqueza; b) a continuidade do processo de desindustrialização, com perdas de participação da indústria de transformação nos municípios brasileiros; c) a dependência que ampla maioria dos municípios tem dos gastos do setor público; d) um lento, mas contínuo, processo de desconcentração econômica; e) falta de correlação entre elevados PIBs per capita municipais e bem-estar-social.
PELA DESCOLONIZAÇÃO DO TEATRO-EDUCAÇÃO: APRENDER A APRENDER COM OS POVOS ORIGINÁRIOS DA AMÉRICA LATINA
Authors: Almeida Lígia Marina de
Published: December 2021

Este artigo busca compartilhar a pesquisa de doutorado que desenvolvo atualmente, que, enquanto conteúdo pretende continuar minha pesquisa, iniciada no mestrado (e muito antes dele) em relação a imagens da luta dos povos originários do Brasil, que envolvem algum tipo de representação, contra os processos colonizatórios, em curso há mais de 500 anos, que prevêm sua (nossa) total extinção. Para dar conta de tal conteúdo de pesquisa, é necessário uma certa revisão da forma de fazê-la. Se aprendemos com Hegel (via Peter Szondi) que forma nada mais é que um “conteúdo enformado” pesquisaremos também, então, uma forma de pesquisa e compartilhamento público da mesma que vá de contra a esses mesmos processos colonizadores. Assim, proponho outras formas de apresentação do material a ser pesquisado, uma espécie de “anti-tese” já que, em minha pesquisa de mestrado, notei que a forma “escrita acadêmica” está historicamente intimamente ligada com os violentos processos coloniais, a saber: um pequeno livro de imagens luta dos povos originários compreendida entre 2013-2018, inspirado no modelo de ação proposto por Bertolt Brecht em seu livro ABC da guerra; um documentário com o ponto-de-vista  sobre o corpo, o simbólico, a luta das lideranças dos povos originários do Brasil que aparecem nas imagens que coletei no mestrado e que formarão o ABC da luta dos povos originários; confecção e publicação de textos em periódicos na área das artes cênicas; perfo-palestras apresentadas por mim durante o processo e também um processo artístico-pedagógico baseado nesses materiais, em escolas estaduais indígenas aonde os riscos de aniquilamento desses povos originários são altos e também junto a não-indígenas, principalmente estudantes de cursos de Artes Cênicas no Brasil. Parte da “anti-tese” também se dá com a criação de estratégias de fortalecimento financeiro da luta dos povos originários com a utilização da arte para tal fim.

LA IDENTIDAD
Authors: Díaz Dalannais Javier
Published: December 2021

Através de uma revisão sobre diferentes aproximaçoes ao conceito de identidade, abrimos a possibilidade de perguntarnos sobre: quais seriam nossas vantagens e desvantagens em tê-la? E se entendemos o  conceito, identificação, como algo mais dinâmico, processual e transitório, talvez nos seria mais amável, inclusivo, menos doloroso e determinante para todos, o nosso próprio ser. No texto a seguir apresento a ideia sobre a caduquez e crise da identidade versus a dinâmica da identificação como processos do ser. Por um lado o estanco, rígido e quebradizo que é nos referenciarmos como alguém que É, e por outro lado, totalmente vertiginoso, incerto porém flexivel e flúido, com total possibilidade e potência de devir em outros e outros diversos SER. Ser um que é trânsito, que consegue dialogar através de linguagens que se constroem com o ser mesmo, e que não está prisioneiro nem é presa fácil para um sistema que precisa de estacas para fazer cercas ao mesmo homem.
A materialidade dos acampamentos escolares e a cultura popular na ‘Campanha de pé no chão também se aprende a ler’
Authors: Aquino Fernanda Mayara Sales , Pinheiro Rosa Aparecida
Published: December 2021

Ao refletirmos sobre a sobre a ‘Campanha de Pé no Chão Também se Aprende a Ler’, como marco das experiências de alfabetização e escolarização de crianças e adultos, identificamos a necessidade de entendermos a relação entre os acampamentos escolares e a cultura popular a partir da noção de cultura material escolar. As fontes utilizadas são o Relatório Cultura Popular e De pé no Chão (1963) e narrativas de professores que trabalharam na ‘Campanha de Pé no Chão Também se Aprende a Ler’. A estrutura dos acampamentos escolares, com galpão circular onde aconteciam as festas com apresentações de grupos da cultura local, revela a centralidade que foi dada à cultura popular nos acampamentos e o tipo de relação que se buscava estabelecer entre o acampamento e a comunidade, uma relação de integração entre ambos os espaços.

Published: December 2021

O presente trabalho resulta de reflexões acerca da História da Educação Profissional no Brasil, na segunda metade do século XX. Investigo os denominados Ginásios Orientados para o Trabalho, também conhecidos como Ginásios ou Escolas Polivalentes, planejados e implantados nas décadas de 1960 e 1970, portanto, no contexto da ditadura civil-militar brasileira e da Lei 5.692/1971. O projeto e execução dessas instituições contou com o financiamento dos Estados Unidos, mediante os acordos MEC-USAID. Neste artigo, realizamos a apresentação da obra “Subsídios para o Estudo do Ginásio Polivalente”, publicada em 1969, com a finalidade de subsidiar professores e técnicos brasileiros para o ensino nessas instituições, especialmente, para o despertar de aptidões em jovens que ingressariam no mercado de trabalho, com foco no contexto histórico em que foram criados esses Ginásios.

Dilemas da experiência liceal em Portugal (1950-1970)
Authors: Zica Matheus , Ferreira António Gomes
Published: December 2021

Pretende-se nesse artigo investigar o conteúdo da revista periódica portuguesa Labor fundada, dirigida e escrita por professores liceais entre 1926 e 1973. Nossas análises se concentram nos textos que tangenciaram e aprofundaram a relação entre psicanálise e educação entre os anos de 1950 e 1970. Foi possível perceber no conteúdo explorado que pelo menos dois procedimentos foram dominantes nessa aproximação entre as duas áreas do conhecimento: Primeiro no que chamamos de uma via mais pontual, num sentido de aplicação, de melhorar o aproveitamento escola; Em outra direção, situa-se uma apropriação em sentido mais abrangente, em direção a uma crítica da cultura e a uma teoria do sujeito, no ponto mesmo onde a psicanálise parece se entrelaçar com a filosofia.

:

The conventional anticancer chemotherapies not only cause serious toxic effects but also
produce resistance in tumor cells exposed to long-term therapy. Usually, the selective killing of metastasized
cancer cells requires long-term therapy with higher drug doses because the cancer cells develop
resistance due to the induction of poly-glycoproteins (P-gps) that act as a transmembrane efflux pump to
transport drugs out of the cells. During the last few decades, scientists have been exploring new anticancer
drug delivery systems such as microencapsulation, hydrogels, and nanotubes to improve bioavailability,
reduce drug-dose requirement, decrease multiple drug resistance, and save normal cells as
non-specific targets. Hopefully, the development of novel drug delivery vehicles (nanotubes, liposomes,
supramolecules, hydrogels, and micelles) will assist in delivering drug molecules at the specific target
site and reduce undesirable side effects of anticancer therapies in humans. Nanoparticles and lipid formulations
are also designed to deliver a small drug payload at the desired tumor cell sites for their anticancer
actions. This review will focus on the recent advances in drug delivery systems and their application
in treating different cancer types in humans.

Published: December 2021

Introduction:

Universal health coverage will be guaranteed to all individuals, safeguarding the rights of traditional communities, as in the quilombola population, respecting the dimensions of interculturality, gender and ethnicity.

Objective:

The aim of this study is to describe the conceptions of health and health care practices of Afro-Brazilian men from a quilombola community.

Methods:

This was a qualitative descriptive study conducted with Afro-Brazilian men from a quilombola community in Bahia, Brazil, where there is a significant concentration of black people and quilombola communities.

Results:

This group’s conceptions of health are based on the combination of the individual body with the body that is socially and culturally situated in the community. Health care practices are anchored in cultural knowledge and strengthened by the bonds with nature, friends and religious leaders.

Conclusion:

The black men from quilombola communities are in a state of vulnerability due to the lack of access to health services.

Published: December 2021

Objective:

The study aimed at analyzing the international scientific publications on coronavirus infection and patient safety in health care.

Methods:

This research is a bibliometric study carried out by searching published articles in theISIWebofKnowledge/WebofScience database and analyzing the results through bibliometric analysis software HistCite. The selected time frame was between 1970 and 2020, and we used the following descriptors: “coronavirus infection” OR “severe acute respiratory syndrome” OR “COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2”.

Results:

We found 5,434 publications in 1,491 different journals; they are written by 18,274 authors linked to 4,064 institutions, which are located in 104 countries. In the citations analysis, the h-index was 155, and the average of citations each article received was 30.79.

Conclusion:

During the studied period, the Web of Science database showed two peaks of publications on coronavirus infections.The first comprised 768 articles published between 2003 and 2004 when a new coronavirus caused an outbreak of severe acute respiratory failure. The second consisted of 576 articles published between 2019 and 2020, during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic COVID-19. The knowledge on coronavirus infection should be widely shared so that new studies can be designed and the world scientific community can contribute to improving patient safety in healthcare and preventing new pandemics of severe acute respiratory infection caused by coronaviruses.

Published: December 2021

Introduction:

Epidemiological, operational and socio-demographic data on leprosy, as well as its direct and indirect impact on the affected person, his/her family, and community, are included in the group of neglected diseases.

Objective:

To analyze the association between the occurrence of physical disabilities in leprosy cases and individual vulnerability in hyperendemic municipalities.

Methodology:

population-based cross-sectional study of leprosy cases reported from 2001 to 2014 in two municipalities of Piauí/Brazil. Interviews and descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to study eventual associations.

Results:

Of the 603 cases evaluated, the most frequent were female (52%), brown (46%), with low schooling, married/united (50%) and retired (28%). A significant proportion of cases was multibacillary (46%), Virchowian clinical form (14%), reactional episodes (20%), disability degree I or II (70%). The explanatory variables for the presence of some degree of physical disability were gender, age group, perceived health, operational classification, clinical form, and hypertension (p<0.05).

Conclusion:

The physical disabilities caused by leprosy involve, in addition to dermatoneurological damage, psychological damage resulting from the strong stigma they produce. This result reinforces the need for differentiated care and nursing in disability prevention, physical rehabilitation and psychological follow-up to ensure comprehensive care.

Authors: Anastasia C Onuorah , Blessing Alika , Oghenetega Okoh Ezekiel
Published: December 2021

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance and capital adequacy of Nigerian banks is explored in this article. The aim of the study was to see how the virus outbreak affects the performance and capital adequacy of Nigerian banks. For the purposes of this study, an actual post-research budget was used. The number of confirmed positive cases in Nigeria since 2020 is used as an indicator of the virus, with capital adequacy measured by capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and bank financial performance measured by the performance of assets (ROA). In one model, positive cases of the Covid virus were linked to the banks' CAR, while in the other, positive Covid cases were linked to the banks' ROA. Secondary statistics are included in CBN's annual report for the year ended 2020, to be released in 2021. Conventional least squares (OLS) regression estimates were used to analyze the data. . According to the results, the Covid pandemic has had a positive and significant effect on the capital adequacy of Nigerian banks. This can be seen in CBN’s announcement of a higher equity level for 2020 of 15.2%, up from 14.6% in 2019
O que tem de ser tem muita força... deôntica Contributos para a caracterização do verbo modal ter de
Authors: Costa José António
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we will aim at contributing to the linguistic characterization of the verb ter de/ter que [have to], pointing out some particularities that individualize it among the modal semi-auxiliaries of Portuguese. We will gather information from morphology, syntax, semantics and textual and discourse linguistics, also observed in examples collected from the CETEMPúblico corpus. The semi-auxiliary ter de, like dever [must], appears in the domain of necessity. Although the deontic reading prevails in several contexts, it is possible to find utterances of epistemic nature, external to the participant and even internal to the participant, following the typological classification proposed by van der Auwera and Plungian (1998). Its modal strength results from a maximum restriction of possible worlds (Kratzer 1981; 2012), being situated in the positive pole (certain/obligatory) of the modal verbs scale, which, in Portuguese, contemplates two other verbs, poder [can] and dever (Oliveira 1988). However, the prototypical strong obligation reading associated with ter de is only available in controllable by the subject situations and, even in these cases, the principle of politeness and the hedging effect can convert utterances with this semi-auxiliary into suggestions or recommendations, particularly in injunctive acts of a non-impositive nature and in certain expressive acts. From a syntactic point of view, and following a proposal outlined by Óscar Lopes (2005), we tried to evaluate the effects of the combination of ter de with different syntactic types of verbs, namely unaccusative verbs and unergative verbs. Besides the aspects mentioned above, it was necessary to consider criteria such as the aspectual class of the verb, the nature (impositional or not) of the discourse acts, and the intentionality and status of the interlocutors. As a rule, and taking into account the analysis of utterances from CETEMPúblico, unaccusative verbs combine with aspectual classes that predict an achievement and, in the face of the modal semiauxiliary ter de, they may activate readings that focus on needs determined by external or internal circumstances of the participant. Regarding unergative verbs, we see that the atelic verbs are present in predicates that configure processes and activate the reading of modality external to the participant, while the potentially telic verbs are articulated with accomplishments and may also assume a modal reading external to the participant. Careful observation of other examples may, however, open the way to new modal readings
Ensinar gramática Percursos que se criam, caminhos que se trilham

Published: December 2021

This article has as framework the inductive approach to grammar teaching, in which the students are expected to discover and to recognize grammar rules through data observation, detection of regularities and generalization. It is based on Ana Maria Brito’s works in which grammar learning is viewed as “discovery learning”. In the first part, the author’s body of work on this subject is revisited, in order to create an unified suggestion of grammar teaching. In a second part, a teaching sequence plan is presented: based on grammar teaching as reflective activity, it shows a consistent and articulated development of learner’s syntactic knowledge from early ages, namely from the 1st cycle of basic education
Os operadores discursivos ahora bien / ahora, (que) e as suas correspondências em traduções literárias para português

Published: December 2021

Following previous work by the authors (Ponce de León & Duarte 2013; Duarte & Ponce de León 2015; Duarte & Ponce de León 2017; Duarte & Ponce de León 2018; Ponce de León & Duarte 2020), the paper aims to analyse the discourse values of the Spanish forms ahora (que) / ahora bien - studied in detail by specialists (Martín Zorraquino & Portolés 1999; Santos Río 2003; Fuentes 2009; Loureda & Acín 2010) - and their correspondences with Portuguese discourse markers, by analysing Portuguese translations of Spanish literary texts. The paper is divided in three parts: a) In the first part, following our previous work (Ponce de León & Duarte 2020) and other studies - some of them cited above - that analyse discourse markers, the different discourse values assumed by these forms are briefly presented and analysed, from a synchronic and diachronic perspective, based on grammatical and lexicographical resources, as well as on Spanish corpora. b) In the second part, the correspondences of the analysed values of ahora (que) / ahorabien with Portuguese expressions, ora and agora are determined. Studies on these Portuguese markers (Duarte 1989; Gonçalves 2004; Marques & Rei 2020) are used to establish these correspondences. c) In the third part, the correspondences of ahora (que) / ahora bien in a corpus of translations into Portuguese of Spanish-language literary texts are studied, trying to clarify the acceptability of different translation solutions for each value of the forms ahora (que) / ahora bien.
Repetições da Violência na Arte de Vitória Cribb e Welket Bungué
Authors: Prado Cardoso Eduardo
Published: December 2021

O artigo descreve três obras artísticas audiovisuais (@ Ilusão, Bustagate e Eu Não Sou Pilatus, produzidas respectivamente pelos artistas Vitória Cribb e Welket Bungué, entre 2019 e 2020) para debater como elas tratam, cada uma à sua maneira, o tema da repetição da violência contra corpos negros no ambiente numérico das redes; invocando uma análise qualitativa e estética dos procedimentos empregados nos vídeos e também dos locais em que eles foram disponibilizados, explora-se a hipótese, seguindo Hui (2021), de que a arte joga luz sobre a irracionalidade do racismo viabilizado por algoritmos e assim pode constituir uma necessária aproximação ao sublime, ao não-racional. Ao exercitar tal movimento, os criadores propiciam mais que discussões de temática escapista da realidade, pois instauram perspectivas essencialmente antirracistas, ao denunciar a irracionalidade explícita da violência, como em Bungué, ou ao modelar a deformidade dos sistemas algorítmicos, como em Cribb. É na recursividade transformada em artefato que as possibilidades de interpretação de fenômenos como espancamentos e execuções bárbaras ganham complexidade: as repetições do social encontram materialidade no audiovisual, em novos discursos sobre o espalhamento digital. Além de se apontar para responsabilizações daqueles que permitem violências e replicam suas representações — dentro e fora das redes —, conclui-se que as implicações sociais derivadas do uso das redes, a perpetuar certas violências, são apropriadas pelos artistas em forma e conteúdo, e assim podem habitar espaços mais abertos à reflexão e ao diálogo.
Et Al.: New Voices in Arts Management
Authors: Shimshon-Santo Amy , Kaplan Genevieve
Published: December 2021

Et Al. imagines kaleidoscopic possibilities for the stewardship of culture and land as decolonizing practices. Culture and the arts can enhance society by strengthening our connections to each other and to the earth. This arts management book was born during a racial reckoning and accelerated by a global pandemic. What exactly is the business of no-business-as-usual? The ethical challenge for arts management is far more complex than asking how to get things done; we must also ask who gets to do things, where, and with what resources? Our task is to generate cultures that refuse to annihilate themselves or each other, much less the planet. Et Al. contributes to the conversation about arts and cultural management by providing rare, behind-the-scenes insights on justice-centered arts management praxis — ideas tied to action. The book makes space for people to publicly reflect, write, and share insights about their own ideas and ways of working. Its polyphonic voices speak to pragmatic strategies for arts management across cultures, genres, and spaces.

Heavy metal(loid)s are a group of elements present commonly in the environment, including Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb, and As elements, among others. While these elements could have their origins in natural sources, anthropogenic activities, such as mining, agriculture, industry, etc., are also responsible for enhancing the concentration of these elements in the ecosystems up to undesirable levels. A few of these metal(loid)s serve as necessary micronutrients for life, while the others are extremely harmful and might affect the entire trophic chain upon entering the natural ecosystems due to their mobility and toxicity characteristics. Most of these heavy metal(loid) pollutants are already recognized for their harmful effects; nevertheless, their environmental control encounters obstruction due to various factors. In this context, the present report details the key points regarding the anthropogenic sources of heavy metal(loid) pollution, which are increasing rapidly with time due to the emerging industry practices and processes, the elements causing this kind of pollution, and the physicochemical processes of these elements occurring in the environment–air interface, soil, and water-air interface. These elements exert a severe impact on the environment, which could be mitigated through the development and application of various remediation techniques. Therefore, the present report concludes with a final discussion on the various remediation treatments currently available for reducing the heavy metal(loid) contamination level in both water and soil.

Published: December 2021

The present study used a detailed qualitative longitudinal research approach to examine the trends of water consumption, wastewater volumes, and drainage water volumes in Oslo Airport Gardermoen, which is Norway’s major hub airport, between the years 2005 and 2020. An overall upward trend was observed in the water consumption at Oslo Airport Gardermoen, which was consistent with the growth in air traffic and aircraft movements during the study period. The annual water consumption per enplaned passenger was observed to fluctuate during the study period. While the lowest water consumption per passenger (8 liters per passenger) was recorded in 2008, the highest levels (14.6 liters per passenger) were recorded in 2020. The annual water consumption (cubic meter per aircraft movement) increased during the study period, which was consistent with the growth in aircraft movements and the use of larger aircraft. The annual wastewater volume generally increased during the study period, while the annual drainage water volume fluctuated remarkably during the study period, with the latter reflecting varying drainage patterns at the airport. Oslo Airport Gardermoen has implemented a range of sustainable water management practices to supplement its existing water management practices and policies.
Using Momentary Assessment and Machine Learning to Identify Barriers to Self-management in Type 1 Diabetes: Observational Study

Published: December 2021

Background

For adolescents living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), completion of multiple daily self-management tasks, such as monitoring blood glucose and administering insulin, can be challenging because of psychosocial and contextual barriers. These barriers are hard to assess accurately and specifically by using traditional retrospective recall. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) uses mobile technologies to assess the contexts, subjective experiences, and psychosocial processes that surround self-management decision-making in daily life. However, the rich data generated via EMA have not been frequently examined in T1D or integrated with machine learning analytic approaches.

Objective

The goal of this study is to develop a machine learning algorithm to predict the risk of missed self-management in young adults with T1D. To achieve this goal, we train and compare a number of machine learning models through a learned filtering architecture to explore the extent to which EMA data were associated with the completion of two self-management behaviors: mealtime self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and insulin administration.

Methods

We analyzed data from a randomized controlled pilot study using machine learning–based filtering architecture to investigate whether novel information related to contextual, psychosocial, and time-related factors (ie, time of day) relate to self-management. We combined EMA-collected contextual and insulin variables via the MyDay mobile app with Bluetooth blood glucose data to construct machine learning classifiers that predicted the 2 self-management behaviors of interest.

Results

With 1231 day-level SMBG frequency counts for 45 participants, demographic variables and time-related variables were able to predict whether daily SMBG was below the clinical threshold of 4 times a day. Using the 1869 data points derived from app-based EMA data of 31 participants, our learned filtering architecture method was able to infer nonadherence events with high accuracy and precision. Although the recall score is low, there is high confidence that the nonadherence events identified by the model are truly nonadherent.

Conclusions

Combining EMA data with machine learning methods showed promise in the relationship with risk for nonadherence. The next steps include collecting larger data sets that would more effectively power a classifier that can be deployed to infer individual behavior. Improvements in individual self-management insights, behavioral risk predictions, enhanced clinical decision-making, and just-in-time patient support in diabetes could result from this type of approach.

Published: December 2021

Background

Anxiety and depression are among the most commonly prevalent mental health disorders worldwide. Chatbot apps can play an important role in relieving anxiety and depression. Users’ reviews of chatbot apps are considered an important source of data for exploring users’ opinions and satisfaction.

Objective

This study aims to explore users’ opinions, satisfaction, and attitudes toward anxiety and depression chatbot apps by conducting a thematic analysis of users’ reviews of 11 anxiety and depression chatbot apps collected from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. In addition, we propose a workflow to provide a methodological approach for future analysis of app review comments.

Methods

We analyzed 205,581 user review comments from chatbots designed for users with anxiety and depression symptoms. Using scraper tools and Google Play Scraper and App Store Scraper Python libraries, we extracted the text and metadata. The reviews were divided into positive and negative meta-themes based on users’ rating per review. We analyzed the reviews using word frequencies of bigrams and words in pairs. A topic modeling technique, latent Dirichlet allocation, was applied to identify topics in the reviews and analyzed to detect themes and subthemes.

Results

Thematic analysis was conducted on 5 topics for each sentimental set. Reviews were categorized as positive or negative. For positive reviews, the main themes were confidence and affirmation building, adequate analysis, and consultation, caring as a friend, and ease of use. For negative reviews, the results revealed the following themes: usability issues, update issues, privacy, and noncreative conversations.

Conclusions

Using a machine learning approach, we were able to analyze ≥200,000 comments and categorize them into themes, allowing us to observe users’ expectations effectively despite some negative factors. A methodological workflow is provided for the future analysis of review comments.

BACKGROUND

In developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa, access to specialty services such as dermatology is limited. Teledermatology is an innovative solution to address this issue; however, many initiatives have been trialed without sustained success. Recently, WhatsApp has been used as a store-and-forward telemedicine communication platform for consultation and education in Botswana.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to describe the utilization of WhatsApp for teledermatology and satisfaction levels of participating providers.

METHODS

A retrospective review was performed of all WhatsApp communications received by dermatologists working in Botswana from January 2016 to December 2019. Sender information, format of communication/consultation, type of patient information provided, patient demographics, time to reply, diagnoses made, and outcome of consultations were collected. A cross-sectional survey was performed of healthcare providers who utilized WhatsApp during this period. Descriptive statistics were performed.

RESULTS

Over the study period, 811 communication threads occurred. The majority (62.0%) of communications were consultations from providers inquiring about a specific patient, followed by multidisciplinary care coordination communications (11.1%). Our in-depth analysis focused on the former. In 323 (64.2%) provider consultations, dermatologists responded within one hour. A diagnosis was made in 274 (54.5%) consultations. Dermatologists gave treatment recommendations remotely in 281 (55.9%) consultations and advised an in-person dermatology visit in 163 (32.4%). Of providers using WhatsApp for these services, 15.3% completed the survey. All respondents (100.0%) felt there was a need for teledermatology and improved teledermatology education in Botswana. Seventeen (73.9%) respondents strongly felt that the guidance received via WhatsApp was high quality and 22 (95.7%) respondents were satisfied with WhatsApp as a platform for teledermatology.

CONCLUSIONS

WhatsApp is a quick, effective, and well-received method of communication between dermatologists and providers across Botswana. The application may offer a solution to the difficulties providers face in accessing specialty referral systems, point-of-care information, and medical-decision-making support for complex dermatologic cases in Botswana.
The knowledge gained from this study can help increase the successful implementation of teledermatology in Botswana and inform the future growth of telemedicine platforms in other developing countries.
