Regional Migration Governance: The Approach of the EU and ASEAN during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Le Duc Anh
Published: June 2023

Migration is a historical issue that exists along with the evolution of humanity. It becomes more pressing when society faces new challenges such as a pandemic. Unless governed by appropriate legislation, policy, and practice under the rule of law consistent with international norms, migration entails numerous social and economic problems including abuse and exploitation of migrants at work, denial of social protection, disruption of social cohesion, family disintegration, reduced productivity, and lost opportunities for development. Due to its urgency and comprehensiveness, impossibility of reducing only to the state level, the contemporary approach to the issue of migration should include policy analysis of the activities of international organizations. This paper theorizes the dynamics of regional migration governance as well as the interaction, the relationship between countries, and multilateral institutions within a region. The purpose of the research is to investigate the current role and practical course of activities of these two typical regional institutions (the EU and ASEAN) and examine whether and to what extent there was an approach to migration issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Slavophile Philosophy and the Subjective School in Sociology: An Experience of Comparative Analysis
Authors: Shmerlina Irina
Published: June 2023

This article problematizes the relationship between the sociological and philosophical traditions of Russian social thought based on the material of the subjective school and of Slavophilism. The absence of direct ideological and conceptual continuity between these avenues is shown, albeit they do share common mental and world-view prerequisites. Slavophilism and the subjective school are compared along three lines — epistemological, social, and historiosophical. The distinguishing features that reveal the correspondence between the aforementioned schools are as follows: the orientation towards a holistic view of reality, unifying life and cognition; the ethical dominant of epistemological views and the inclination towards a practical and transformative attitude towards reality; anthropocentrism and personalism; a romantically ecstatic formulation of the popular/commoner issue; missionary and messianic motives of historiosophical quests, and journalism as a genre of theoretical reflection. It is suggested that the cultural codes of the national social mentality are reflected in the outlined worldview complex.
Opérations forestières sur la Côte Pacifique (suite)

Les chemins de fer sont encore largement utilisés et présentent deux avantages : ils peuvent circuler par tous les temps et assurer un approvisionnement plus régulier des industries lourdes. Toutefois, les camions sont de plus en plus utilisés, à la fois parce qu'ils se prêtent plus facilement à des conditions de circulation différentes et parce que le coût d'établissement de la route est inférieur à celui du rail, sauf sur les longues distances, où le transport à vapeur reste plus avantageux. Le rendement des trains routiers et des camions est grandement amélioré par le pré-chargement. Les liaisons radio-téléphoniques permettent généralement d'accroître la productivité.

Authors: Fernandez Muerza Alex , Picó Garcés Maria Josep
Published: June 2023

Introducción: Los medios de comunicación han incrementado su interés por la crisis climática en los últimos años. Sin embargo, la COVID-19 lo trastocó todo. Objetivo: Analizar el efecto de la pandemia en la comunicación de la crisis climática en la radio televisión pública vasca (EITB) desde enero a julio de 2020. Metodología: A partir de las teorías de la agenda setting y el framing, se analizaron cualitativa y cuantitativamente los contenidos de información, educación (divulgación) y entretenimiento más representativos de sus canales radio, televisión y web. Resultados: Los contenidos de información y divulgación sobre cambio climático destacaron en enero y febrero, pero la pandemia provocó su desaparición. El programa de entretenimiento solo incluyó la crisis climática gracias a una iniciativa de cocreación. La radio fue el medio que más contenidos ofreció, y destacó el enfoque local y el científico, económico y de biodiversidad. Conclusiones: La crisis climática forma parte de la agenda temática de EITB, pero la COVID-19 monopolizó sus emisiones, y solo a partir de mayo reaparecieron, mostrando su relación con la pandemia. Asimismo, la cocreación es una buena iniciativa para introducir contenidos como la crisis climática en programas que llegan a públicos más amplios.

Silêncios e a ditadura militar no Brasil: sintomas na propaganda e na arte
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Goiás, Vilela Ana Lucia Oliveira
Published: June 2023

Duas das características fundamentais do trauma na perspectiva psicanalítica são a repetição e o silenciamento. O traumatizado é aquele que repete angustiadamente e de maneira inconsciente o sofrimento que o evento traumático lhe impôs. Sem conseguir dar forma simbólica, impedido de expressar sua angústia, não lhe resta nada a não ser repetir o evento, seja na forma do sonho, dos sintomas físicos e psíquicos, seja nas formas das práticas sociais. O trauma não é necessariamente individual, ele pode ser deixado, tal qual uma estranha herança, às gerações seguintes sob a forma de cultura.
Colonizada, mas não silenciada: a permanência da cultura asteca na configuração artística e arquitetônica do Zócalo, na Cidade do México
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Salvat Ana Paula dos Santos
Published: June 2023

El Zócalo é o nome pelo qual é popularmente conhecida a principal praça da Cidade do México, cuja denominação oficial, desde 1812, é Praça da Constituição, devido à proclamação da Constituição Política da Monarquia Espanhola ou Constituição de Cádiz, promulgada naquele ano. No Período Colonial, a praça teve outros nomes, tais como, Plaza de las Armas, Plaza Mayor, Plaza del Palacio. Ela começou a ser chamada de "Zócalo" em 1843, quando uma base (zócalo, em espanhol) foi construída no centro da praça para receber o monumento à Independência mexicana, o qual nunca foi instalado ali. Com uma área de aproximadamente 39.600 m2, o Zócalo está, atualmente, entre as quatro maiores praças do mundo, mas suas origens remontam ao período pré-hispânico.

A cidade é um texto, é composta por uma linguagem materializada que tem sua própria História, fornece seus próprios documentos de análise. A Igreja de nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos é simultaneamente o texto materializado, a memória e a identificação da população negra inserida no centro de São Paulo. Na fundação desse grande centro urbano, a população negra já lutava para que esse espaço também a representa se, no presente ela não é algo incrustado dentro de uma paisagem já natural, é fonte de identificação.

Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho investigou o treinamento em biofeedback para o controle da Ansiedade na Performance Musical (APM) pela ótica de um músico, com o objetivo de estudar processos de autorregulação fisiológica inerentes à atividade. A metodologia teve como ponto de partida o programa de treinamento em biofeedback estabelecido e testado por Chaló (2016) com estudantes universitários, adaptado para o âmbito da performance musical por Barros et al. (2019). Neste estudo, as oito sessões de treinamento planejadas foram divididas em duas fases com modalidades de simulação da performance distintas: mental e virtual. Após cada sessão foram anotadas reflexões acerca da experiência do participante. Ao término do programa de treinamento, os dados fisiológicos registrados pelo equipamento de biofeedback foram comparados com os relatos do diário reflexivo. A análise permitiu identificar atitudes e estratégias que viabilizam o foco e a concentração na atividade, mapear o processo de obtenção da autorregulação fisiológica e identificar pontos positivos e negativos do treinamento em biofeedback no contexto do controle da APM. Além disso, os resultados destacam aspectos subjetivos que podem afetar o comportamento de músicos em pesquisas que envolvam controle da ansiedade através de biofeedback.

Authors: Pankratova Nataliya , Musiienko Danylo
Published: June 2023

A study of the underground tunnel planning reliability for megacities is proposed based on the use of foresight and cognitive modeling methodologies. Using the foresight methodology allows, with the help of expert estimation procedures, to identify critical technologies and build alternatives of scenarios with quantitative characteristics. For the justified implementation of a particular scenario, cognitive modeling is used, which allows to build causal relationships based on knowledge and experience, understand and analyze the behavior of a complex system for a strategic perspective with a large number of interconnections and interdependencies. The suggested study allows the reliability planning of underground tunnels on the basis of reasonable scenarios selection and justification of their creation priority.
Generalization of the thermodynamic approach to multi-dimensional quasistatic processes
Authors: Kutsenko Alexander , Kovalenko Sergii , Kovalenko Svitlana
Published: June 2023

A method of mathematical modeling of multidimensional quasi-static processes, a generalization of quasi-static processes of equilibrium thermodynamics, is proposed and substantiated. The authors obtain a generalization of the first and the second law of thermodynamics in the form of Carathéodory to multidimensional quasi-static processes. The idea of generalization is to construct an orthogonal system of functionals similar to the work and heat functionals of classical thermodynamics along families of phase trajectories corresponding to different types of influences on a multidimensional quasi-static system. The representation of quasi-static processes by systems of ordinary differential equations containing control variables is substantiated. The obtained results make it possible to use a wide arsenal of methods of the theory of control of dynamical systems to solve problems of control of quasi-static processes.

Approach to positional logic algebra
Authors: Kovalov Mykola
Published: June 2023

The method of Boolean function representation in terms of positional logic algebra in compact operator form is offered. Compared with the known method, it uses position operators with a complexity of no more than two and only one type of equivalent transformations. The method is less labor intensive. It allows parallelizing logic calculations. The corresponding way of Boolean function implementation is developed. It competes with some known ways in terms of hardware complexity, resource intensity, and speed when implemented on an FPGA basis. Possibilities open up for creating effective automating means of representing Boolean functions from a large number of variables, synthesizing the corresponding LCs, and improving modern element bases.

Authors: Pillay Rajendran Perumal , Govender Indrani
Published: June 2023

The shift to online learning in universities prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic impacted field learning, an important component in nature conservation qualifications. Academics used video resources as an alternative approach to mitigate related challenges. This case study critically reflects on students’ experiences and views on the use of an internet video and WhatsApp text messaging to complete a groupwork task in a conservation module offered at a university in South Africa. The video content focused on threats to rare indigenous plant species in South Africa. Data were collected using an online electronic questionnaire (n=26) and through the analysis of five group-discussion text-messaging transcripts. Mixed-method analysis was used to analyse the data. Descriptive analysis was used to analyse the closed questions in the questionnaire, and qualitative analysis was used for the open questions and transcripts. Ethical protocols were followed, with anonymity and confidentiality maintained. The findings, amongst others, indicate that overall, students agreed that the video promoted their understanding of threats to rare indigenous plants (76.9%); most students watched the video more than three times (84.6%); students had a positive response to the use of text messaging for group discussions (91.6%); and evident in the transcripts was active group engagement. Overall, WhatsApp text messaging facilitated student discussions in the asynchronous group work video analysis task. This reinforces underlying social constructivist pedagogy, which facilitates the integration of course content with group interaction and promotes critical thinking and problem-solving in a post-COVID-19 society.

By shifting the focus from aggregate-level analysis to individual-level analysis, we believe that the DAD model can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of driving behavior. Combing DAD with a conflict identification (CIM) model can potentially enhance the effectiveness of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in terms of crash evasion capabilities. This paper is part of our research titled Automatic Safety Diagnosis in Connected Vehicle Environment, which received funding from the Southeastern Transportation Research, Innovation, Development, and Education Center.
Mapping of Soil Surface Moisture of Agrophytocenosis by Neu-Ral Network Based on Synchronized Radar and Multispectral Optoelectronic Data of SENTINEL-1,2
Authors: Zeyliger Anatoly , Muzalevskiy Konstantin , Ermolaeva Olga , Zinchenko Ekaterina
Published: June 2023

In this article, a method for the moisture mapping of the soil surface of agrophytocenosis was proposed using neural network based on synchronized radar and multispectral optoelectronic data of Sentinel-1,2. To verify the developed method, data from two experimental plots were used. These plots were located two on irrigated soybean crops. The first of them was located on the right bank (1st plot) and the second one on the left bank (2nd plot) of the down part of Volga River. Two experimental soil moisture geo-datasets were done by measurements and geo-referencing points using gravimetric method (1st plot) and with proximal sensing method (2nd plot) using Soil Moisture Sensor ML3-KIT (THETAKIT, Delta). The soil moisture retrieval algorithm was based on the use of a neural network to predict reflection coefficient of an electromagnetic wave from the soil surface, followed by inversion into soil moisture using a dielectric model that takes into account the soil texture. The input parameter of the neural network was the ratio of the microwave radar vegetation index (calculated on the basis of Sentinel-1 data) to the index (calculated on the basis of data of multispectral optoelectronic channels 8 and 11 of Sentinel-2). Such way calculated index reveals showed a significantly greater dependence on soil moisture than on vegetation height that was been used in previous studies. The retrieved values of soil moisture were compared with the soil moisture measured in-situ. The proposed method with a determination coefficient of 0.44-0.65 and a standard deviation of 2.4%-4.2% for the 1st plot as well as with and of the same metrics for the 2nd allows predicting the soil moisture of both a test plots covered by soybean plants, relative to soil moisture measured in-situ. The conducted research created the scientific basis for a new technology for remote sensing the moisture content of the soil surface of agrophytocenosis as an element of the precision farming system and agroecology.
A Retrospective Chart Review and Infant Feeding Survey in the Irish Phenylketonuria (PKU) Population (2016–2020)
Authors: Rice Jane , McNulty Jenny , O'Shea Meabh , Gudex Teresa , Knerr Ina
Published: June 2023

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited disorder of protein metabolism. It is generally treated using dietary management with limited intake of phenylalanine (Phe). Partial breastfeeding (BF) is encouraged among mothers of infants with PKU, together with a Phe-free mixture of synthetic amino acids. We aimed to describe our current BF rates and complementary feeding practices, as well as examining parental experiences of infant feeding. The aim was to better understand the challenges faced by families so improvements can be made to clinical care. A chart review was carried out on 39 PKU patients, examining the BF rate and duration, use of second stage synthetic protein (SP) and average complementary feeding age. A parental questionnaire on complementary feeding and BF experience was designed. 26% of babies were partially breastfed at three months. 70% of mums would like to have breastfed for longer and cited PKU as a reason for stop-ping. 52% parents reported challenges during the complementary feeding process including food refusal, protein calculation and anxiety around maintaining good Phe levels. Suggestions to improve BF continuation and duration include active promotion of the benefits and suitability, access to lactation consultant and peer support. The delay in introducing a second stage SP may contribute to long-term bottle use for SP. Improved patient education, written resources and sup-port is necessary to improve food choices and long term acceptance of SP.
Multiplicity Analysis of a Thermistor Problem
Authors: Krikkis Rizos N
Published: June 2023

In the present study a numerical bifurcation analysis of a thermistor problem is carried out, considering a realistic heat dissipation mechanism due to conduction, nonlinear temperature dependent natural convection and radiation. The electric conductivity is modeled as a strongly nonlinear and smooth function of the temperature between two limiting values, based on measurements. The problem formulated in this way admits multiple steady state solutions that do not depend on the external circuit. The analysis reveals that the conduction-convection parameter and the type of the boundary conditions have a profound effect on the solution structure and the temperature profiles. Depending on the boundary conditions the complex multiplicity pattern appears either as a series of nested cusp points or as enclosed branches emanating from pitchfork bifurcation points.

The cultivation of mixtures of legumes and cereals contributes to biodiversity and can provide good-quality roughage for direct feeding of livestock. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of the share of components in a mixture of pea and spring triticale and the timing of harvesting on the calcium and magnesium content of green mass. The field experiment was conducted in 2016–2018 and two factors were studied: I. The proportion of components in the mixture: field pea – 100%, spring triticale – 100%, field pea 75% + spring triticale 25%, field pea 50% + spring triticale 50%, field pea 25% + spring triticale 75%. II. Harvesting date: flowering stage of field pea, flat green pod stage of field pea. The highest content of calcium and magnesium was found in field pea, while among the mixtures, in the one with 75% of field pea and 25% of spring triticale. A higher content of the mineral elements in question was found in mixtures harvested at the field pea flowering stage compared with mixtures harvested at the stage of the flat green pod of field pea. Due to the mass relationship between macronutrients, the green mass of mixtures of pea and spring triticale should not be the only feed for livestock.
THE PROPOSAL FOR MONITORING OF XENOPUS TROPICALIS (GRAY, 1864) IN WEST AFRICA
Authors:   Faculty of Animal Breeding, Bioengineering and Conservation, Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Warszawa, Poland, STOJAK Julia
Published: June 2023

The main aim of the study was to present the suggested methods of monitoring Xenopus tropicalis, belonging to the subgenus Silurana of the Pipidae family. This species is a model animal, in laboratories it is kept in different conditions than the conditions of the natural environment, which proves its adaptation to a new habitat. In addition, an amphibian inhabiting West Africa has been found in the USA in the wild. This may indicate a potential threat as an invasive species. Active monitoring of this species can provide information about the spread and adaptation to new habitats. So far, no method for monitoring X. tropicalis has been proposed. The proposed method of assessing the condition of the species is based on field studies – the presence and abundance of individuals, while the assessment of the habitat includes many factors such as: the size and depth of the reservoir, its shading and overgrowth of the water surface, the presence of other animals (fish, other species of amphibians, reptiles) and nutritional base (presence of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates). The proposed monitoring methods can also be used for other species of the Pipidae family that lead a typically aquatic lifestyle.

Published: June 2023

This study aims to determine whether the PISA 2018 Mathematical Literacy test items show differential item functioning (DIF) according to gender and parental education level. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 521 students who participated in the practice in Turkey and answered the booklets numbered 1 and 7. The research was conducted on a total of 45 items in these booklets. In this study, the Mantel-Haenszel (MH), Logistic Regression (LR), and Rasch Tree (RT) methods were applied to determine the items showing DIF regarding the gender variable. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that two items in the 1st booklet showed DIF in favour of girls, and an item in the 7th booklet that was common with the 1st booklet showed DIF. This item showed DIF in common for all three methods according to the DIF analyses performed separately by the Mantel Haenszel, Logistic Regression, and Rasch Tree methods. As a result, an item showing DIF in favour of girls was determined with both the MH and LR methods in the 1st and 7th booklets. In addition, when the items in booklets 1 and 7 were examined to see whether they show DIF according to parental education level, it was concluded that an item in booklet 1 was easy for students whose mother's education level was high school, university, and above, but difficult for students whose mother's education level was high school or below.

Gelişen teknolojiyle birlikte insan hayatına giren sosyal medya uygulamaları yaygın kullanım alanı bulmuştur. İletişimi kolaylaştırması beklenen bu uygulamalar zamanla insanın özel hayatına ilişkin bilgilerin de paylaşıldığı bir ortam haline gelmiştir. Daha görünür olmak, beğeni ve takipçi sayısını artırmak gibi amaçlarla paylaşılan özel içeriklerin zamanla bireyin mahremiyetini ihlal edebileceği söylenebilir. Yaşanan bu olumsuz durum birçok insanı etkilediği gibi ilahiyat fakültesinde öğrenim gören öğrencileri de etkilemektedir. Araştırmada ilahiyat fakültesi öğrencilerinin sosyal medyadaki mahremiyet algıları incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla öğrencilerin kendi mahremiyetinin bilincinde olma düzeyleri, ifşa, gözetim farkındalığı ve mahremiyet ihlallerine yönelik tepkileri ele alınmıştır. Betimsel araştırma modelinin kullanıldığı çalışmada örneklem grubu Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin mahremiyet bilincinin ortalamanın üzerinde çıktığı araştırmada diğer boyutlar ise ortalama düzeyinde ya da daha alttadır. Öte yandan bağımsız örneklemlere ilişkin bulgulara göre; ifşa faktörü dışında gözetim, farkındalık, tepki, kendi ve başkaları bilinci faktörlerinde katılımcıların bağlantı türüne göre anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir.

Published: June 2023

Yas olgusu; felsefi, dini, mitolojik, sosyolojik ve psikolojik açılardan ele alınarak anlaşılabilecek oldukça geniş perspektife sahip bir konudur. Genellikle sevilen birisinin ölümü sonrası yaşanan duygu durumu olarak anlaşılsa da yasın kapsamı çok daha geniştir. Sahip olunan bir nesnenin kaybı için olabileceği gibi bir hayal veya idealin yitirilmesi sonrası da yaşanabilir. İnsan hayatının farklı dönemlerinde sürekli var olmasına rağmen çoğu durumda farkına bile varılmamaktadır. Yas kavramının, ortaya çıkışının ve arkasında yatan olguların bilinmesi bir farkındalık oluşturacağından etkili bir mücadele mekanizması oluşturulmasına da katkı sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada yas kavramı, neden oluştuğu, kayıpla ilişkisi ve insan hayatı üzerindeki etkilerinden bahsedilecektir.
fî Zılâli’l-Kur’ân ve et-Tefsîrü’l-Kâşif'te Ailede Kadın

Bu makalede yaşadıkları tarihler birbirlerine çok uzak olmayan Şi’î müfessir Cevad Muğniyye (ö. 1979) ve Mısırlı düşünür Seyyid Kutub’un (ö. 1966) Kur’ân-ı Kerim’de “ailede kadın” konusuna nasıl yaklaştıkları incelenmiştir. Yaşadıkları tarih ve coğrafya olarak birbirlerine yakın sayılsalar da mensup oldukları Şi’î-Sünnî mezhep bakış açılarının konuya yaklaşırken benzer ya da farklı düşünceleri olmasına etki edip etmedikleri tetkik edilmiştir. Günümüzde İslam’da kadın konusu oldukça tartışılan bir konu olarak gündemde olduğu için, çağdaş müfessirlerin aile bireyi olarak kadınlara nasıl yaklaştıklarını karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde ele almak önem arz etmektedir. Bu araştırmada ailede kadın konusu; kız çocuğu olarak kadın, eş olarak kadın ve anne olarak kadın olmak üzere üç ana başlığa ayrılmıştır. Her başlığın altında konuyla ilgili ayet incelenip müfessirlerin yalnızca tefsirlerindeki görüşlerine değinilmiştir. Muğniyye ve Seyyid Kutub’un farklı mezheplere mensup olmakla beraber İslam’da ailede kadınların konumlarıyla ilgili durumlarda -miras konusu dışında- birbirlerine yakın görüşte oldukları sonucuna varılmıştır.

This meta-analysis aims to determine the efficacy of EGCG in the treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) and summarize the mechanisms involved. Literature from six databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan-Fang database, and VIP database (VIP) were systematically searched. All the analysis were conducted by R. Twenty-five eligible studies involving 443 animals were included in this meta-analysis. The results indicated that compared to controls, EGCG exerts a cardioprotective effect by reducing myocardial infarct size (SMD = -4.06; 95% CI: -5.17, -2.94; P<0.01; I2=77%). The funnel plot revealed publication bias. Moreover, EGCG significantly improves cardiac function, serum myocardial injury enzyme, and oxidative stress level in MIRI animal models. This meta-analysis demonstrates that EGCG exhibits therapeutic promise in animal models of MIRI. However, further validation is still needed in large animal models and large clinical studies.
Barriers and Facilitators Influencing Midwives’ Implementation of South Africa’s Maternal Care Guidelines in Postnatal Health: A Scoping Review
Authors: Okeke Ngozichika Obiageli , Ngunyulu Roinnah
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The implementation of South Africa’s maternal care guidelines is still subpar, especially during the postnatal periods, despite midwives’ playing a key part in postnatal care for women and their newborns. This article aimed to pinpoint the obstacles to and enablers of midwives’ roles in putting South Africa’s maternal care recommendations for postnatal health into practice.Method The methodology for this review was a scoping review. A systematic search of literature from The University of Johannesburg database, Medline, PsycINFO, Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL plus), PubMed, EBSCOhost web, and Google Scholar on the roles of midwives in putting South Africa’s maternal care guidelines for postnatal health into practice was done. The databases produced 22 papers that met the requirements for inclusion.Results There is a gap between inadequate postnatal care services provision and suboptimal implementation of maternal recommendations. These results from a lack of basic knowledge about the guidelines, an absence of midwives in the maternity units, inadequate facilities and resources, a lack of drive and support, inadequate training of midwives in critical competencies, and poor information sharing and communication. Maintaining qualified midwives in the maternity units and providing them with training to increase their capacity, knowledge, and competencies on the guidelines’ critical information for managing postnatal complications and providing high-quality care to women and their babies are necessary to effectively implement the recommendations.Conclusion To increase patient access to good-quality care and enhance postnatal policy implementation, it is urgent to support research in the field of midwifery, particularly in the delivery of postnatal care using South Africa’s maternal care guidelines.

Published: June 2023

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia that requires anticoagulation therapy to prevent stroke. However, there is still a significant under-/over-treatment in stroke prevention for patients with AF. The adherence and the risk of bleeding associated with oral anticoagulation therapy (OACs) are a major concern. Shared decision-making (SDM) is an approach that involves patients and healthcare providers in making decisions about treatment options. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a novel SDM tool for anticoagulation management in AF.
Methods: The study will be a prospective, multicenter, cluster randomized controlled trial involving 440 patients with AF in 8 community health service centers (clusters) in Shanghai, China. The SDM group will receive anticoagulation management through the novel SDM tool, while the control group will receive standard care. The follow-up period will be at least 1 year. The primary outcome will be any bleeding event, while secondary outcomes include the accordance of stroke prophylaxis for AF according to current guidelines, time in therapeutic range (TTR), the occurrences of major bleeding and thrombosis events, and patient knowledge, adherence, and satisfaction.
Discussion: This study will provide evidence on the effectiveness of shared decision-making in improving the appropriateness of OAC use in Chinese AF patients. The findings may inform the development of guidelines and policies for the management of AF and anticoagulation therapy in China and other countries.

Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial of in-home decluttering augmentation of group cognitive-behavioral therapy for hoarding disorder: The Joining Forces Trial
Authors: Jägholm Sofia , Lindstedt Sara , Andersson Erik , Mataix-Cols David , Cruz Lorena Fernández de la , Rück Christian , Ivanov Volen Z
Published: June 2023

Background
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a moderately efficacious treatment for hoarding disorder (HD), with most individuals remaining symptomatic after treatment. The Joining Forces trial will evaluate whether 10 weeks of in-home decluttering can significantly augment the outcomes of group CBT.
Methods
A randomized controlled trial of in-home decluttering augmentation of group CBT for HD. Adult participants with HD (N = 90) will receive 12 weeks of protocol-based group CBT for HD. After group CBT, participants will be randomized to either 10 weeks of in-home decluttering led by a social services team or a waitlist. The primary endpoint is 10 weeks post-randomization. The primary outcome measures are the self-reported Saving Inventory-Revised and the blind assessor-rated Clutter Image Rating. Participants on the waitlist will cross-over to receive the in-home decluttering intervention after the primary endpoint. Data will be analyzed according to intention-to-treat principles. We will also evaluate the cost-effectiveness of this intervention from both healthcare and societal perspectives.
Discussion
HD is challenging to treat with conventional psychological treatments. We hypothesize that in-home decluttering sessions carried out by personnel in social services will be an efficacious and cost-effective augmentation strategy of group CBT for HD. Recruitment started in January 2021 and the final participant is expected to reach the primary endpoint in December 2024.
