Published: September 2023

Uno de los impactos provocados por la pandemia Covid19 fue el cambio de la educación presencial a la educación online. Durante el tiempo que duró el estado de alarma, la comunidad autónoma de las Islas Canarias (España) puso en marcha una serie de acciones con la idea de mitigar las necesidades de recursos y habilidades tecnológicas del alumnado, del profesorado y de las familias. En este trabajo analizamos un cuestionario diseñado por un grupo de trabajo de la autoridad educativa autonómica y dirigido a 814 centros educativos públicos no universitarios, con la finalidad de identificar las necesidades tecnológicas para la educación online. Centrándonos en algunos indicadores relevantes encontramos evidencias de que la comunidad educativa canaria, dentro de las indudables dificultades que supuso la pandemia, mostró una alta resiliencia en esta migración de la educación presencial al entorno online; por otro lado, al revisar los indicadores utilizados en la literatura científica para definir la brecha digital y enfrentarlos a los datos analizados se revela la imprecisión del término “brecha digital”, proponiendo utilizar el de “desigualdad digital”.

Authors: Muhammad Mustapha , Tahir M.H. , Liu Lixia , Jamal Farrukh , Chesneau Christophe , Abba Badamasi
Published: September 2023

The half-logistic (HL) distribution is a widely considered statistical model for studying lifetime phenomena arising in science, engineering, finance, and biomedical sciences. One of its weaknesses is that it has a decreasing probability density function and an increasing hazard rate function only. Due to that, researchers have been modifying the HL distribution to have more functional ability. This article provides an extensive overview of the HL distribution and its generalization (or extensions). The recent advancements regarding the HL distribution have led to numerous results in modern theory and statistical computing techniques across science and engineering. This work extended the body of literature in a summarized way to clarify some of the states of knowledge, potentials, and important roles played by the HL distribution and related models in probability theory and statistical studies in various areas and applications. In particular, at least sixty-seven flexible extensions of the HL distribution have been proposed in the past few years. We give a brief introduction to these distributions, emphasizing model parameters, properties derived, and the estimation method. Conclusively, there is no doubt that this summary could create a consensus between various related results in both theory and applications of the HL-related models to develop an interest in future studies.
Alternative Confidence Interval for Variability Parameters in the Normal Distribution with Applications to Stock Exchange Index Data Set
Authors: Sangnawakij Patarawan , Wanwarat Anlamlert
Published: September 2023

This work focusses on estimation the standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) in the normal distribution. These two measures are useful in applications and widely used to report the spread or variability of continuous data. We develop the confidence intervals for these parameters using the two pivotal quantity methods with the unbiased estimator of SD. The first confidence interval uses the pivot function based on a chi-square distribution and the second one is based on a generalized pivotal quantity. The performance of our approaches is conducted via simulations. We show that the confidence intervals for SD and CV based on the new pivots have coverage probabilities greater than existing confidence intervals. Furthermore, they have acceptable short expected lengths. We also provide two real-data sets on the SET50 index of Thailand to demonstrate the proposed methods.

Objective: Cases who applied to the polyclinic, where we followed the patients under legally required health care clinic in the last year, were evaluated. It was aimed to compare the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who use and do not use substances.
Methods: The files of cases aged 14-18 years with health precautions were reviewed retrospectively. 
Results: Thirty four patients (21 girls, 13 boys) had substance use. The mean age was 15.9±1.2 years and the mean duration of education was 9.5±1.9 years. Legally required counseling was 72% (n=54), education was 29.3% (n=22), institutional care was 22.7% (n=17) Smoking and alcohol use (p=0.001) school absenteeism (p=0.002), criminal behaviour (p=0.012), number of negative life events (p=0.025), exposure to emotional abuse (p=0.025) and care measures (p=0.017) were found to be higher in patients with substance use. Academic achievement was lower in patients using substance (p=0.001). At least one psychiatric diagnosis (p=0.001), more than one psychiatric diagnosis (p=0.001) and conduct disorder (p=0.016) were detected more frequently in the substance abuser group. Cannabis was the most frequently used substance (79.4%) in the group using drugs.
Conclusion: Adolescents who are monitored with in the scope of under legally required health care and who use substances are different from the non-substance use group in terms of some socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. Knowing these features can contribute to the prevention and treatment studies of forensic medicine and child and adolescent mental health clinics working with patients who receive legally required treatment.
The “Real” Value of Failure in Entrepreneurship
Authors: Goñi Pacchioni Edwin A. , Gonzales Alessandra , Montenegro Guadalupe
Published: September 2023

Evidence about the effectiveness of entrepreneurship public programs in Latin America on beneficiary startups across the region has shown average positive impacts on survival rates, attraction of investments, sales, profits, hiring, wages paid, taxes paid, etc. Yet, for those beneficiaries whose startups fail to succeed under these metrics (either due to failure to launch or failure to survive and grow), there is a commonly accepted notion that such a failure brings in social value as the likelihood of founding future successful startups should increase after learning from failure. This paper empirically addresses this contention by exploiting two datasets of administrative records from Brazil: the registry of firms (Cadastro), which identifies founders of firms, and the payroll administrative records (RAIS), which provide longitudinal information on characteristics of employers and employees for all formal firms in the country. By tracing the founding history of serial founders and after controlling for several characteristics of the founders and their businesses, we find that serial founders whose previous startups reach the top quintiles of the productivity distribution (whether or not these previous startups exited the market) are more likely to establish successful startups in subsequent ventures. Conversely, founders whose previous startups belong to the lower quintiles of the productivity distribution (whether these previous startups exited the market or not) tend to continue founding unsuccessful startups. These findings validate the theory of learning after serial founding, but only in those cases where failure happens after previous ventures have reached an intermediate stage of productivity progress among top-tier startups. Failure is an absorbing state for founders who repeatedly found bottom-tier startups, and therefore, public funding should consider this aspect both in the selection of prospective beneficiaries and in the ex post social valuation of beneficiaries that fail to startup or grow.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometry makes it possible to study the formation of free radicals during the transfer of energy to the object. The decay kinetics of free radicals is an integral part of the study since this phenomenon directly interferes with the goals of accurate identification of the irradiation fact and dosimetry using EPR spectrometry. In this work, we have studied the time dependence of the intensity and characteristics of the EPR signal of analytical sucrose irradiated with gamma rays at doses from 0.3 to 9 kGy. It has been shown that irradiated sucrose gives a stable EPR peak after 60 days. A change in the spectral characteristics of the signal was recorded in the first 23 hours after irradiation. The signal intensity tends to increase in the first 72 hours after irradiation for a sample with an irradiation dose of 300 Gy and 48 hours for 1000 Gy. The dependence of the signal intensity on the absorbed dose is linear in the range of studied doses. The g-factor value at the intersection point of the derivative contour with the zero line is 2.013. Based on the data obtained, it can be assumed that sucrose (sugar) is one of the best candidates among solid radiation-sensitive materials for identifying the fact of irradiation using EPR spectrometry

One of the most common congenital metabolic disorders is familial hypercholesterolemia. Familial hyper-cholesterolemia is a condition caused by a type of genetic defect leading to a decreased rate of removal of low-density lipoproteins from the bloodstream and a pronounced increase in the blood level of total cholesterol. This disease leads to the early development of cardiovascular diseases of atherosclerotic etiology. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a monogenic disease that is predominantly autosomal dominant. Rare pathogenic variants in the LDLR gene are present in 75–85 % of cases with an identified molecular genetic cause of the disease, and variants in other genes (APOB, PCSK9, LDLRAP1, ABCG5, ABCG8, and others) occur at a frequency of < 5 % in this group of patients. A negative result of genetic screening for pathogenic variants in genes of the low-density lipoprotein receptor and its ligands does not rule out a diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia. In 20–40 % of cases, molecular genetic testing fails to detect changes in the above genes. The aim of this work was to search for new genes associated with the familial hypercholesterolemia phenotype by modern high-tech methods of sequencing and machine learning. On the basis of a group of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (enrolled according to the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network Criteria and including cases confirmed by molecular genetic analysis), decision trees were constructed, which made it possible to identify cases in the study population that require additional molecular genetic analysis. Five probands were identified as having the severest familial hypercholesterolemia without pathogenic variants in the studied genes and were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing on the HiSeq 1500 platform (Illumina). The whole-genome sequencing revealed rare variants in three out of five analyzed patients: a heterozygous variant (rs760657350) located in a splicing acceptor site in the PLD1 gene (c.2430-1G>A), a previously undescribed single-nucleotide deletion in the SIDT1 gene [c.2426del (p.Leu809CysfsTer2)], new missense variant c.10313C>G (p.Pro3438Arg) in the LRP1B gene, and single-nucleotide deletion variant rs753876598 [c.165del (p.Ser56AlafsTer11)] in the CETP gene. All these variants were found for the first time in patients with a clinical diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia. Variants were identified that may influence the formation of the familial hypercholesterolemia phenotype.

Authors: Quirós Badilla Diego Fernando , Villalobos Ramos Vanessa
Published: September 2023

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue realizar un análisis de los costos y efectos de la suplementación de Forraje Verde Hidropónico (FVH), con semilla de maíz (Zea mays), en una finca de ganado doble propósito ubicada en Upala, Costa Rica, con énfasis en el área de producción de leche. La información se recopiló durante dos periodos diciembre 2018 – mayo 2019 (sin FVH) y diciembre 2019 – mayo 2020 (con FVH) para su comparación, siendo en Costa Rica los meses de verano. Se construyó un módulo de producción de FVH con riego nebulizado automatizado. Se realizó un análisis bromatológico al forraje en el tiempo de cosecha. Se midieron las variables peso, altura y días para cosecha del FVH. Posteriormente se evaluó el efecto de la suplementación con FVH en la producción de leche, donde las pruebas estadísticas (Wilcoxon y ANCOVA) señalan que hubo un aumento en los meses diciembre 2019 – mayo 2020 cuando se incorporó el FVH a la dieta de las vacas. El mayor costo de producción de FVH lo representa la semilla (52.64%), siendo además el insumo más sensible en el ámbito de la productividad, el costo de producción de la leche disminuyó al incorporar el FVH en la dieta, principalmente por el aumento de la producción y la reducción de la ración de concentrado brindado a las vacas en producción. Se sugiere profundizar en estudios fisiológicos en las vacas, y calidad de la leche al incorporar FVH a la dieta, así como análisis más robustos en la rentabilidad de la inversión necesaria para implementar este sistema.
Diseño de un producto inteligente para disminuir la contaminación causada por desechos sólidos en las playas de Costa Rica
Authors: Meza-Blanco Aurora , Serrano-González Leslie
Published: September 2023

Costa Rica es un país que basa gran parte de su economía en el turismo nacional e internacional que llega a sus atracciones. La principal atracción son las playas de ambos litorales, Pacífico y Caribe. Sin embargo, el incremento de los desechos que llegan y se encuentran presentes en estas representa un peligro para los visitantes y el ecosistema. En el caso de los visitantes, puede ocasionar lesiones, afectación a la salud pública y una disminución del atractivo de los sitios turísticos. Por su parte, para el ecosistema, esta influye en su degradación, pesca fantasma y desnutrición de animales.

Debido a lo anterior, el proceso de diseño se trabajó mediante la metodología design thinking. Luego de abordar cada etapa de esta (investigación del problema, definición de la funcionalidad, ideación de soluciones y prototipado), nace Suia; un producto inteligente de uso público que representa una mejor opción para recolectar los desechos generados por los visitantes. Este busca suplir los actuales basureros de las playas públicas del país. Lo cual logra cumplir gracias a sus funciones inteligentes de movilización y sus funciones prácticas de almacenamiento, separación de desechos y resistencia a factores ambientales.

Con su implementación, se espera contribuir a la disminución de la entrada de nuevos desechos generados por los visitantes, para brindar una mejor experiencia y ayudar en la conservación del medioambiente.

Authors: Duarte-Madrigal José D. , Montero-Aragón Esteban J.
Published: September 2023

Olvidar es parte de la naturaleza humana, aunque, a veces, puede ser algo indeseable. Más allá de la inevitabilidad de olvidar, en Costa Rica existen factores que causan en las personas falta de atención a sus pertenencias mientras viajan, como lo son el aislamiento causado por la pandemia del COVID-19, el estrés por las responsabilidades diarias y los largos viajes que los estudiantes y trabajadores experimentan, agravados por la congestión vehicular.

Con la intención de que las personas no tengan que pasar por una situación incómoda en la que deban buscar cómo recuperar alguna pertenencia olvidada, comprar un reemplazo o simplemente aceptar su pérdida; se crea KipClose, un sistema de dispositivos que alerta de manera pronta e intuitiva cuando el usuario se está alejando de uno de sus objetos. De esta manera, se eliminaría el estrés que significa extraviar un artículo y se reduciría la inseguridad que pueda sentir el usuario mientras viaja, cubriéndolo de los descuidos y posibles hurtos.

Para abordar esta necesidad, se aplica la metodología de Design Thinking, la cual involucra diferentes etapas: empatizar, definir, idear y prototipar; las cuales serán desarrolladas en este escrito. Dentro de lo más importante, se define el usuario meta, se identifican y simulan las funciones necesarias del sistema y se desarrolla un lenguaje visual y morfológico de los dispositivos. Todo esto planteado con el objetivo de destacar entre los productos similares del mercado a través de valores agregados como lo son la inmediatez y la personalización.
Bacias hidrográficas em relevos escarpados: implicações para a análise da suscetibilidade a corridas de detritos
Authors: Sugiyama Marina Tamaki de Oliveira , Gomes Maria Carolina Villaça
Published: September 2023

Bacias hidrográficas em relevos escarpados são, de maneira geral, muito suscetíveis a processos hidrogeomorfológicos como as corridas de detritos. Além disso, em escarpamentos de margem passiva é comum a ocorrência de capturas fluviais no contato escarpa-planalto, promovendo mudanças hidrodinâmicas nos sistemas fluviais. Ao incorporar terrenos com características distintas, a morfometria da bacia, expressa a partir de um conjunto de parâmetros, poderá apresentar valores pouco representativos da dinâmica das bacias em relevos escarpados. O objetivo deste trabalho é comparar a suscetibilidade a corridas de detritos de bacias hidrográficas, analisadas com e sem a área de captura no planalto, através de um método semi-quantitativo baseado na utilização de parâmetros morfométricos. Foram delimitadas 59 bacias na escarpa da Serra Geral no Geoparque Caminhos dos Cânions do Sul. Houve diferenças expressivas nas classes de maior suscetibilidade: das bacias analisadas com a área de contribuição no planalto, 35% foram classificadas como de Alta suscetibilidade e 10,1% como Muito Alta, enquanto as bacias analisadas sem área de contribuição no planalto foram 22% Alta e 44,1% de Muito Alta. Considerando os registros de eventos recentes de corridas de detritos, os resultados parecem mais ajustados à realidade quando consideradas as bacias sem a área de drenagem no planalto.

Authors: Ranieri Leilanhe Almeida , Sousa Maria Bárbara Pereira de
Published: September 2023

A zona costeira é um dos espaços geográficos mais vulneráveis no planeta, especialmente diante das mudanças climáticas em curso. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar as alterações morfológicas sazonais em praias da zona costeira amazônica, localizadas na maior ilha fluviomarinha do planeta (Ilha de Marajó). A metodologia consistiu na coleta de dados topográficos em Barra Velha (município de Soure-PA) e Praia Grande (município de Salvaterra-PA), amostragem de sedimentos superficiais e a classificação de estágios morfodinâmicos de praia. Barra Velha foi classificada como praia dissipativa (β < 2), com areias finas (2 a 3 ɸ) e tendência erosiva da estação seca a chuvosa. O contrário foi obtido para Praia Grande, cujo estado morfodinâmico foi de praia intermediária a refletiva (β > 3), com areias médias (1 a 2 ɸ) predominantes. Nesta praia, a variação sedimentar sazonal foi de -48 a 77 m3/m, mostrando sedimentação alternada nas partes superior e inferior dela. Em Barra Velha, a sedimentação foi mais uniforme (-30 a 48 m3/m). Conclui-se que houve menor mobilidade na largura da Praia Grande (ΔYb: 18 m), em comparação com Barra Velha (ΔYb: 38 m). Acredita-se que os resultados desta pesquisa podem contribuir no entendimento de particularidades morfossedimentares em praias estuarinas equatoriais.

Article 20 of Law Number 2 of 2014 on Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2004 on the Notary Public states that a Notary can carry out their position in the form of a civil partnership while still paying attention to independence and impartiality in carrying out his position. The formulation of the problem formulated in this research is, first, what are the legal implications for notaries for married couples opening a joint office in the form of a civil partnership? and secondly, what form of independence and secrecy does a notary who is bound by marriage carry out in carrying out his position? The type of research used is juridical-normative research with a statutory approach. The results of this study indicate that the first is the separation of joint assets between husband and wife and the obligation to provide income in the joint office. The two forms of independence and secrecy carried out by a notary who is bound by marriage, that the notary acts in a trustful, honest, thorough, independent, impartial manner, safeguards the interests of the parties involved in legal actions and keeps everything confidential about the Deed he made and all information obtained for making The deed is in accordance with the oath of office, in order for the notaries who are members of the joint office carry out the position of a notary in the same way as the implementation of the position of a notary in general.
Peran Notaris Dalam Penyuluhan Hukum Mengenai Adanya Praktik Jual Beli Apartemen Melalui Metode Pre Project Selling
Authors: Nabila Ulfa
Published: September 2023

Today, there are many cases involving flat or apartment developers who neglect the legal certainty in the implementation of housing and residential areas as stipulated in Article 3 letter a of Law Number 1 of 2011 on Housing and Residential Areas. One form is sales with pre-project selling. This practice is permitted by law by requiring the existence of a Purchase Agreement (PPJB) drawn up by and before a Notary. This practice is closely related to the authority of a Notary to be able to conduct legal counseling in connection with making a deed as stipulated in Article 15 paragraph (2) letter e of Law Number 2 of 2014 on Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2004 on the Notary Public. Therefore, a formulation of the problem is drawn, what is the role of a notary in legal counseling regarding the practice of buying and selling apartments through the pre project selling method? The research method used is normative by studying literature and legislation. The results of this study conclude that the role of a Notary in legal counseling regarding the practice of buying and selling apartments on a Pre-Project Selling basis can be carried out by ensuring that the developer has complied with statutory provisions and providing an explanation to the buyer that the PPJB is only an introduction. The notary provides an explanation regarding the rights and obligations of each party that arises regarding the practice of Pre Project Selling in buying and selling apartments.

In the sharia contract deed, there is an inclusion of a verse from the Koran. Referring to Article 38 of Law No. 2 of 2014 on Amendments to the Notary Office Law, it can be seen that the inclusion of the sentence as mentioned above is not listed as required in Article 38 No. 2 of 2014 on Amendments to the Law on the Office of a Notary and resulting in a deed only having the power of proof as a deed under the hand. This research raises the following issues: first, how is the legitimacy of the inclusion of Al-Quran verses in sharia contracts according to the Law on Notary Offices? second, what is the appropriate solution for making a sharia contract? The research method used is normative research. This research was carried out with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. This study concludes that, first, in terms of making a sharia contract deed, the Notary must make it in accordance with the provisions of Article 38 of Law No. 2 of 2014 on Amendments to the Law Regarding the Office of a Notary. If it is not appropriate, then the inclusion of a quote from the Koran placed at the beginning of the deed and at the end of the deed, if it is carried out, the deed will be legally flawed in terms of its form and will result in the deed being degraded into private hands as stipulated in Article 1869 of the Civil Code. Second, the appropriate solution so that it is in accordance with the Law Regarding the Office of a Notary Public is to place it in the deed because the contents of the deed are statements of the parties that have been confirmed and constatitured by the Notary which is formulated into a deed, the next solution can also be in the form of revising the Law on Notary Office.

Published: September 2023

Objectives: During COVID-19, we studied the direct and indirect effects of household economic levels on health status through the mediation of changes in economic levels. Methods: In comparison between the changed and not changed group of health status, the continuous data compared with independent t-test and the categorical type tested chi-square test. Whether economic levels changed due to COVID-19 as an influencing factor of youth health Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to evaluate the direct effect of COVID-19 and the indirect effect through the downgrading of the economic level caused by COVID-19. Results: The direct effect of changes in household economic status due to COVID-19 on health status was β = -0.13, which had a significantly negative effect (p < 0.001), and the indirect effect through household economic status was also β = –0.05. There was a significant adverse effect (p < 0.001). Conclusions: It was found that when the economic condition worsens, it has an adverse effect on the economic levels of the family and the health status of the youth. In cases where economic conditions deteriorate due to crises such as pandemics, more attention should be paid to youth health promotion.

Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, 84 postoperative patients were admitted to a surgical intensive care unit for post anesthetic recovery care. Participants completed questionnaires on anxiety, pain, stress, and sleep disturbance on the preoperative day and on the morning of postoperative day 1. Data were analyzed with χ 2 -test, unpaired t-test, Pearson correlation analysis and logistic regression. Results: Forty patients (47.6%) had a high preoperative anxiety score of ≥ 18. Higher preoperative anxiety was associated with greater postoperative anxiety (r = 0.24, p = 0.026), higher postoperative stress (r = 0.24, p = 0.026), and poorer postoperative sleep (r = 0.39, p < 0.001). High preoperative anxiety was associated with postoperative physical restraint (B = 1.72, OR: 5.59, 95% CI: 1.19-21.32). High preoperative anxiety was associated with postoperative sleep disturbance (B = 0.29, OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.08-1.65). Conclusions: High preoperative anxiety is associated with poorer sleep during the first postoperative night among surgical intensive care unit patients.

This technical note is the fourth in a series about using native plant communities to achieve engineering and ecological purposes such as shoreline stabilization, structural enhancements, habitat creation, and ecosystem development. In this series, we demonstrate the utility of natural materials (specifically, native vegetation, oyster reefs, and coir logs) in living shoreline projects. Plant species and plant communities play critical roles in wave attenuation and sediment accretion in coastal areas. The application of vegetation in the coastal areas, especially on the East and Gulf Coasts, has focused heavily on the creation of living shorelines—serving both environmental and engineering purposes. This technical note documents the workshop conducted by the US Army Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) and hosted by the US Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Philadelphia District (NAP) and Center for the Inland Bays. The goals of this technical note are (1) to demonstrate the application of native plant communities, oyster shells, and coir (coconut) materials and their installation techniques along shorelines to the engineering community; (2) to demonstrate how targeted vegetation establishment can facilitate ecosystem development along shorelines to improve engineering and environmental outcomes; and (3) to provide native vegetation installation techniques for living shorelines projects’ purposes.
Incoherence: a measure of complexity which quantifies
ensemble divergence and aleatoric uncertainty
Authors: Davey Timothy
Published: September 2023

This paper proposes a new measure, named incoherence, which can identify many features of com-plex systems. It achieves this by quantifying the uncertainty arising from the lack of reproducibility (known as aleatoric) in many real-world systems. This is vital for policy and decision-making, as currently this type of uncertainty is often misinterpreted as a lack of data (known as epistemic) or worse, as lack of confidence in the science. Rather than being an inevitable and irreducible feature of the system at hand, as has been the case with the climate crisis. This ambiguity can be used as an excuse for inaction, where establishing a contingencies-based approach to the decisions would have been much more effective. Incoherence is designed to be both highly intuitive and interpretable so it can be used across disciplines and domains. It does this by using the entropy of a system as a baseline measure, so that it can offer consistency across nearly any structure, dimensionality or data type, be it continuous or discrete.

Published: September 2023

This work aims to develop a constantly updated flood hazard assessment tool that utilizes readily available datasets derived by remote sensing techniques. It is based on the recently released global land use/land cover (LULC) dataset Dynamic World, which is readily available as an open data source within Google Earth Engine platform. The tool is updated constantly following the release rate of Sentinel-2 images, i.e., every 2 to 5 days depending on the location and provides a near real time detection of flooded areas. Specifically, it identifies how many times each 10 m pixel is characterized as flooded for a selected time period. In order to investigate the fruitfulness of the proposed tool, we compared the outcome of the tool against the Regional Flood Hazard Maps developed in the frames of the EU Water Framework Directive, and we found several inconsistencies of the two approaches. Besides, a new metric is proposed, named Maximum Potential Economic Loss, in order to assess the socioeconomic implications of the flooding. The innovative character of the presented methodology consists of the use remotely sensed-based datasets, becoming available at increasing rates, for developing an operational instrument which defines and updates the flood hazard zones in real-time required.
Development of a bacterial cellulose-gelatin composite as a suitable scaffold for cardiac tissue engineering

Published: September 2023

Purpose
Cardiac tissue engineering is suggested as a promising approach to overcome problems associated with impaired myocardium. We introduced a novel scaffold which supports cardiomyocyte attachment and growth and might be a suitable candidate for cardiac tissue engineering.
Methods
Bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes were produced by Komagataeibacter xylinus and coated or mixed with gelatin to make gelatin-coated BC (BCG) or gelatin-mixed BC (mBCG) scaffolds, respectively. BC based-scaffolds were characterized via SEM, FTIR, XRD, and AFM. Neonatal rat-ventricular cardiomyocytes (nr-vCMCs) were cultured on the scaffolds to check the capability of the composites for cardiomyocyte attachment, growth and expansion.
Results
The average nanofibrils diameter in all scaffolds was suitable (~ 30–40 nm) for nr-vCMCs culture. Pore diameter, surface roughness, stiffness in mBCG were in accordance with cardiomyocytes requirements, so that mBCG could better support attachment, growth and expansion of nr-vCMCs.
Conclusion
According to our results, mBCG scaffold was the most suitable composite for cardiomyocyte culture, regarding its physicochemical and cell characteristics. It is suggested that improvement in mBCG stability and cell attachment features may provide a convenient scaffold for cardiac tissue engineering.
Developing low-cost house floors to control tungiasis in Kenya – a feasibility study
Authors: Elson Lynne , Nyawa Shadrack Mwadai , Matharu Abneel , Fillinger Ulrike
Published: September 2023

Context
: Tungiasis is a neglected tropical skin disease endemic in resource-poor communities. It is caused by the penetration of the female sand flea, Tunga penetrans, into the skin causing immense pain, itching, difficulty walking, sleeping and concentrating on school or work. Infection is associated with living in a house with unsealed earthen house floors.
Methods
This feasibility study used a community-based co-creation approach to develop and test simple, locally appropriate, and affordable flooring solutions to create a sealed, washable floor for the prevention of tungiasis. Locally used techniques were explored and compared in small slab trials. The best floor was pilot trialled in a few households with tungiasis cases to assess its durability and costs, feasibility of installation in existing local houses using local masons and explore community perceptions. Disease outcomes were measured to estimate potential impact.
Results
It was feasible to build the capacity of a community-based organization to conduct research, develop a low-cost floor and conduct a pilot trial. The optimal floor was stabilized local subsoil with cement at a 1:9 ratio, installed as a 5 cm depth slab. A sealed floor was associated with a lower mean infection intensity among infected children than in control households (aIRR 0.53, 95%CI 0.29–0.97) when adjusted for covariates. The cost of the new floor was US$3/m2 compared to $10 for a concrete floor. Beneficiaries reported the floor made their lives much easier, enabled them to keep clean and children to do their schoolwork and eat while sitting on the floor. Challenges encountered indicate future studies would need intensive mentoring of masons to ensure the floor is properly installed and households supervised to ensure the floor is properly cured.
Conclusion
This study provided promising evidence that retrofitting simple cement-stabilised soil floors with locally available materials is a feasible option for tungiasis control and can be implemented through training of community-based organisations. Disease outcome data is promising and suggests that a definitive trial is warranted. Data generated will inform the design of a fully powered randomized trial combined with behaviour change communications.

Anxiety and depression symptoms among older Chinese migrants during COVID-19: a network analysis
Authors: Zhao Yuefan , Tang Qian , Zhang Chi , Zhang Rongxiu , Yao Jun
Published: September 2023

Background: With the development of an aging society, the mental health of the elderly has become a subject of public health research. In China, many elderly people leave their hometowns due to family conditions, and there are few research topics on the mental health of these elderly people. Anxiety and depression are common psychological problems in elderly individuals. Therefore, in view of the mental health problems of older migrants, this study investigated the network structure of anxiety and depression symptoms in older migrants in our country and determined the central symptoms and bridge symptoms, which provide key symptoms to ensure the mental health of older migrants in our country and further prevent anxiety and depression problems in older migrants.
Methods: To understand the symptoms of depression and anxiety in older Chinese migrants, 469 older migrants were investigated. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and anxiety symptoms were measured using the Anxiety Scale in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Questionnaire (HADS-A). Build networks with network analysis. In network analysis, a Gaussian graph model is used to construct an undirected network with a partial correlation coefficient, in which the nodes connected by edges are connected. Nodes represent symptoms, the thickness of the edges connecting nodes represents tightness, and the closer the node is to the middle, the more critical the node is.
Results: The strongest inverse edge connections in the network were for "Relax" in anxiety and "Motor" in depression, and the strongest edges were concentrated in symptoms on the anxiety scale, including "Restless" and "Intense fear", "Tension" and "Fear," and "Butterflies in the stomach" and "restless." It was also revealed that the bridge symptoms in the network were "Relax" and "Restless" in anxiety and "Guilt" in depressive symptoms. Central symptoms in the network include "Restless", "Relax" and "Fear" in anxiety and "Guilt" in depression.
Conclusions:The anxiety symptoms of "restlessness" and "relax" have a great impact on the mental health network of migrant elders. Future intervention and prevention targets could focus on anxiety symptoms in older migrants.
