In early 2020, Albany Georgia, located in a predominately rural part of Georgia, had the 4th highest per capita rate of COVID-19 infection in the United States. Many of these patients developed secondary infections or presented with concomitant infections, which were noted anecdotally to be associated with a worse outcome compared to those who did not develop secondary infections. We conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients admitted to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in the calendar year 2020. We were primarily interested in the effect of respiratory and bloodstream culture positivity on the outcome. We recorded data for other variables potentially contributing to a bad outcome, including Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), Body Mass Index (BMI), age, sex, and race. Variables initially identified as significantly associated with bad outcomes (defined as either need for mechanical ventilation or death) were then analyzed by multinomial regression. During a 10-month period (March to December), 1,431 patients were admitted. Of these, 155 (10.8%) had a positive blood culture and 142 (9.9%) had a positive respiratory culture at any time during admission. Odds ratios (OR) for death or mechanical ventilation without death were 43.0 and 86.1, respectively, for a positive respiratory culture and 4.5 and 3.3, respectively, for a positive blood culture. Age > 70 and CCI also were associated with an increased risk of death, with OR of 2.0 and 1.3, respectively. In conclusion, in our large, single-center study of patients admitted with COVID-19 in the calendar year 2020, positive respiratory culture or a positive blood culture had the highest OR associated with the bad outcome of all the variables considered.

A Longitudinal Observation of the Influence of Michigan Sports Concussion Law on Parents Knowledge and Perception of Sport-Related Concussion
Authors: LaBond Virginia
Published: July 2022

Introduction: In 2013, Michigan enacted legislation requiring parents and athletes to receive educational material on Sport-Related Concussion (SRC). The aim of this study was to follow trends in concussion knowledge of parents from one community following implementation of Michigan’s Sports Concussion Laws (MSCL). Methods: Parents of students from a suburban school district were surveyed via district email at 1 year and 5 years post-implementation of MSCL. Results were compared to a survey obtained prior to the law. Individual questions were compared between the three surveys by Chi-square analysis with significance at p<0.05. Results: A total of 381 responses were obtained in the 1-year post-MSCL (1yMSCL) and 178 in the 5 year post-MSCL (5yMSCL) survey. Awareness of district policy regarding concussion was much higher after implementation of the law (77% at 1yMSCL and 71% at 5yMSCL) compared to prior (18% pre-MSCL, p<0.0001). As the law matured, parental knowledge improved. Respondents to the 5yMSCL survey were more aware of medical guidelines surrounding “return to play” after SRC compared to 1yMSCL (84.8% v 78.7%, p=0.01). At 5yMSCL, more respondents agreed that head injury can cause more brain damage to children than adults (86.5% v 78.7% at 1yMSCL, p=0.03). Lastly, parents continued to rate the concussion educational material as the most helpful information source on SRC. Conclusion: Since implementation of MSCL, parental knowledge increased in awareness of medical guidelines for SRC and potential brain damage risks to children. This increase may be in part from maturation of policy changes from MSCL.
Experiences of place-bound sociality amidst the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative analysis of environment-related coping strategies
Authors: Stadlmeier Anna , Kremer Dominik , Walker Blake Byron
Published: July 2022

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, places of public encounter were effectively inhibited by lockdown regulations. In addition to several quantitative studies of the impact of the ongoing pandemic on society, little is known about the use of one’s spatial environment on individual coping strategies mitigating physical isolation. Through an explorative qualitative study we derived a typology of coping strategies that helped participants to balance responsible action and the urgent need for social contact.Our approach aligns with well-known theory in the field of place (Cresswell 2020) and place-bound sociality (cf. Schatzki 2002) in the context of phenomenology (Sloan & Bowe 2014, Rehorick 1991, Seamon 1979). Sixteen participants were selected reflecting diverse conceptualisation of community and representing socioeconomic and gender diversity in both urban and rural areas of the German state of Bavaria. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the beginning of the second wave of COVID-19 restrictions from the end of November 2020 to early December, to reflect expectations and early routines associated with the isolation. In addition to social and individual, a variety of environment-related coping strategies can be observed. We (1) interpret those coping strategies, (2) discuss the essential function of places for the coordination and negotiation of social activities, and (3) relate the importance of public spaces to weak social ties (Granovetter1973) emphasising their outstanding value for individual wellbeing.
The unavoidable contribution of Rafael Lorente de Nó to the birth of Cybernetics
Authors: Espinosa-Sanchez Juan Manuel , Gomez-Marin Alex , de Castro Fernando
Published: July 2022

The beginnings of Cybernetics were marked by the publication of two papers in 1943. In the first, Rosenblueth, Wiener, and Bigelow claimed that purposeful behavior is a circular process controlled by negative feed-back. On the other seminal paper McCulloch and Pitts proposed that neurons are interconnected working as logical operators. Both articles raised human-machine analogies and mathematically formulated cognitive mechanisms. These ideas aroused theinterest of von Neumann, that was developing the first stored-program computer. Thus, after a preliminary meeting in 1945, a series of meetings were held between 1946 and 1953. The role of the Spanish neurophysiologist Rafael Lorente de Nó in the beginnings of Cybernetics is not only attested by his participation in the core members of these Macy conferences, but above all for his previous description of reverberating circuits formed by closed chain of internuncial neurons. This was the first neurobiological demonstration of a feedback loop. Most researchersconsidered the central nervous system as a mere reflex-organ until then; nevertheless, he demonstrated a self-sustained central activity in the nervous system, supporting the idea of selfregulating mechanisms as a key concept not just in machines but also in the brain.

The relationship between income growth and inequality: Evidence from an Asian emerging economy
Authors: Le Thanh Tung
Published: July 2022

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between income growth and inequality in Vietnam. The study database was collected and calculated from 61 provinces in the period of 2006-2018. The economic equation is estimated with 3 types of data including the full sample, the North and the South regions, and six sub-economic regions. The empirical results present several important scientific contributions. First, the estimated results show the Kuznets curve hypothesis is confirmed in Vietnam when the relationship between income growth and inequality is presented by an inverted U-shaped curve. Second, the Kuznets curve does not occur in the provinces which have a high level of economic liberalization and a large private sector, as evidenced by the analysis of sub-samples. Economic integration is a progressive process provided foreign direct investment decreases inequality in most regions. Educational development helps to reduce inequality but this relationship is only found in the areas populated by ethnic minorities. The labour force has a positive and significant relationship to inequality, especially in regions with labour shortages, although this variable can even help reduce inequality in some sub-economic regions that have an abundance of labour. Tourism development and trade variables are considered to be the sources of inequality in lower development regions. The empirical results suggest that policymakers need to continuously reduce income inequality to support sustainable development in the future.

The workforce of the medical specialty of Rehabilitation Medicine (RM) in the UK is 10 times less than the European average for the specialty of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM). This can be explained partly by the difference in the scope of practice within the specialty between UK and other European countries. This opinion paper aims to compare the rehabilitation needs in chronic conditions and compare the scope of practice between countries within Europe and other regions of the world. The potential advantages of a broader remit specialty to improve rehabilitation care for patients across a wide range of conditions in explored. Recommendations have been put forward in the Rehabilitation Medicine Expansion Proposal (RMEP), which is likely to make the medical specialty more satisfying for the doctors working in the specialty and a more attractive career choice for those entering training in the medical specialty.
The need for public opinion and survey methodology research to embrace preregistration and replication
Authors: Lundmark Sebastian , Protzko John , Weissenbilder Marcus
Published: July 2022

Survey researchers take great care to measure respondents’ answers in an unbiased way; but, how successful are we as a field at remedying unintended and intended biases in our research? The validity of inferences drawn from studies has been found to be improved by the implementation of preregistration practices. Despite this, only 3 of the 83 published articles in POQ and IJPOR in 2020 feature explicitly stated preregistered hypotheses or analyses. This manuscript aims to show survey methodologists how preregistration and replication (where possible) are in service to the broader mission of survey methodology. To that end, we present a practical example of how unknown biases in analysis strategies without preregistration or replication inflate type I errors. In an initial data collection, our analysis showed that the visual layout of battery-type questions significantly decreased data quality. But after committing to replicating and preregistering the hypotheses and analysis plans, none of the results replicated successfully, despite keeping the procedure, sample provider, and analyses identical. This manuscript illustrates how preregistration and replication practices might, in the long term, likely help unburden the academic literature from follow-up publications relying on type I errors.
Distinguishing between musical excerpts learned by novices individually or in pairs
Authors: Schiavio Andrea , Popescu Tudor , Kempf Adrian , Timmers Renee
Published: July 2022

In a previous study, it was found that novice musicians learning to play short musical pieces in different modalities were equally accurate in both solo and duo settings. Intrigued by these findings, we conducted a new experiment to explore whether differences between solo and duo musical learning might be differentially appreciated from a perceiver’s standpoint. We therefore asked a cohort of expert musicians to listen to and evaluate all the melodies played by the learners of the previous study in light of five specific questions. We asked whether the melodies were learned alone or with a partner, how well these were learned, and how their expressiveness, articulation/phrasing, and coherence could be assessed. We found that our raters were generally sensitive to the learning condition (synchrony, turn-taking, and imitation) and pairing (solo and duo) in which the melodies were learned. However, this result was not salient enough to let us observe significant clusters of responses. Future work might approach this investigation by adopting a longitudinal design where differences between individual and group musical learning can be explored over time.
Qualitative motivation with sets and relations
Authors: Ünlü Ali
Published: July 2022

In self-determination theory, multiple conceptual regulations of motivation are posited. These forms of motivation are especially qualitatively viewed, and there are situations in which combinations of those regulations occur. This can be modeled versatilely by sets and relations. I discuss discrete models from the theory of knowledge spaces for the multidimensional combinatorial conceptualization of motivation. This approach allows to also define the equal or distinct gradations of any regulation type, which may or may not be cumulative, in the sense that they do or do not entail linear orders, respectively. How to obtain such structures in practice is demonstrated by relational data mining. The technique applied is inductive item tree analysis, an established method of Boolean analysis of questionnaires. This technique was originally developed for knowledge space theory and in this paper is applied to motivation. From the scores of a data set on learning motivation, the motivation spaces and co-occurrence relations for the gradations of the basic regulation types are extracted, thus enumerating their potential sub-forms. This could help to differentiate specific forms of motivation that may otherwise be laborious or problematic to measure. In that empirical application, the underlying motivation spaces and relations were computed within each of the intrinsic, identified, introjected, and external regulations, in autonomous and controlled motivations, and in the entire motivation domain. Based on combinatorial structures, this paper also contributes to the qualitative assessment of the dimensionality of motivation in self-determination theory.
Scanpath Regularity as an Index of Reading Comprehension
Authors: Mézière Diane Caroline , Yu Lili , McArthur Genevieve , Reichle Erik , von der Malsburg Titus
Published: July 2022

Purpose: Recent research on the potential of using eye-tracking to measure reading comprehension ability suggests that the relationship between standard eye-tracking measures and reading comprehension is influenced by differences in task demands between comprehension assessments. We compared standard eye-tracking measures and scanpath regularity as predictors of reading comprehension scores. Method: We used a dataset in which participants were administered three widely-used reading comprehension assessments with varying task demands while their eye movements were monitored: the York Assessment of Reading for Comprehension (YARC), the Gray Oral Reading Test (GORT-5), and the sentence comprehension subtest of the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT-4). Results: Results showed that scanpath regularity measures, similarly to standard eye-tracking measures, were influenced by differences in task demands between the three tests. Nevertheless, both types of eye-tracking measures made unique contributions as predictors of comprehension and the best set of predictors included both standard eye-tracking measures and at least one scanpath measure across tests. Conclusion: The results provide evidence that scanpaths capture differences in eye-movement patterns missed by standard eye-tracking measures. Overall, the results highlight the effect of task demands on eye-movement behavior and suggest that reading goals and task demands need to be considered when interpreting eye-tracking data.

Published: July 2022

Curriculum mapping provides a systematic approach for analyzing the conformity of an educational program with a given set of standards. The Chiang Mai University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine joined together in an educational twinning project to map their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine curricula against core competencies identified by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) as critically important for Day 1 veterinary graduates to meet the needs for global public good services. Details of curriculum coverage for each specific and advanced competency were collected through a review of syllabi and course descriptions, followed by in-depth interviews of key faculty members. The depth of coverage of each competency was estimated by the tabulating the number of hours assigned. The teaching methods and levels of learning were also captured. While the overall design of the curricula conformed to the OIE Guidelines for Veterinary Education Core Curricula, the mapping process identified variability in the depth and breadth of coverage on individual competencies. Coverage of the Day 1 Specific Competencies was greater early in the curricula. More gaps existed in terms of the Advanced Competencies than the specific core competencies. Discussion of the identified gaps with faculty members led to opportunities for strengthening the curricula by adjustments of individual courses throughout the curricula. Documentation of teaching methods also led to professional development of new pedagogical skills and redesign of the teaching methods for particular subjects.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of acetylation on the technological characteristics of Jacaranda copaia (Aubl.) D. Don. wood. Physical (apparent and basic densities, water absorption, and thickness swelling) and mechanical (Rockwell hardness) properties were evaluated. Wood acetylation was carried out by immersion of samples in acetic anhydride; five treatments were evaluated: control (no acetylation), acetylation for 2 hours, acetylation for 4 hours, acetylation for 6 hours, and acetylation for 8 hours. All reactions were carried out at a constant temperature of 90 °C. The results show that the 8-hour acetylation treatment presented the highest weight gain (21.62%). This treatment also presented the lowest water absorption (119.55%) and the highest Rockwell hardness (24.78 HRL). In general, the acetylation treatment resulted in interesting improvements in wood’s physical and mechanical properties.

Efeito da acetilação nas características tecnológicas da madeira de Jacaranda copaia: Parte 1 – propriedades físicas e mecânicas
 
RESUMO: O trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência da acetilação para madeira de Jacaranda copaia (Aubl.) D. Don. em suas características tecnológicas. Para isso, foram avaliadas propriedades físicas (densidade aparente e básica, absorção em água e inchamento em espessura) e a mecânica (dureza Rockwell). A acetilação da madeira foi realizada mediante imersão de amostras em anidrido acético, sendo avaliados cinco tratamentos: controle (não acetiladas), acetilação por 2 h, acetilação por 4 h, acetilação por 6 h e acetilação por 8 h. Todas as reações realizadas com a temperatura constante de 90 °C. Os resultados mostram que o maior ganho de massa foi apresentado pelo tratamento de acetilação durante 8 horas, como o valor de 21,62%. O tratamento também apresentou o menor valor de absorção de água, sendo 119,55%, e o maior valor para dureza Rockwell, sendo 24,78 HRL. De modo geral, o tratamento de acetilação promoveu melhorias interessantes nas propriedades físicas e mecânicas da madeira.

Modeling of variability of hydrological characteristics of the Tuzla group of lagoons under various variants of their water exchange with the sea

The article is devoted to solving the problem of stabilization of hydrological regime and hydro-ecological conditions of the Tuzla group of lagoons located in the central part of the Danube-Dniester interfluve by ensuring and regulating their water exchange with the open sea through artificially created channels in the barrier beach that separates the water body from the sea.

The research presents the results of adaptation of the well-known modern numerical hydrodynamic model Delft3D Flow Flexible Mesh to the conditions of the Tuzla group of lagoons, as well as the results of its application to determine the effectiveness of various variants for ensuring water exchange with the sea based on the outcomes of scenario mathematical modeling.

In particular, the following variants of channels functioning were studied: (1) a relatively narrow connecting channel at the 2nd km of the barrier beach (near the Burnas Lagoon) together with a wide and deep outlet that existed before 2015 at the 24th km of the barrier beach (near the Shagany Lagoon); (2) a wide controllable connecting channel in the Shagany Lagoon placed on the outlet, alongside with the above-mentioned channel in the Burnas Lagoon; (3) an additional (third) narrow channel at the strip of the barrier beach near the Alibey Lagoon.

The characteristics of the annual cycle of water salinity spatio-temporal variability were used as indicators of the effectiveness of management decisions for ensuring the stability of the lagoons' hydro-ecological conditions.

Based on the analysis of the scenario modeling results it was concluded that the optimum solution of the problem related to stabilizing the hydro-ecological regime of the water body consists in ensuring the constant multidirectional water exchange with the sea through two artificial connecting channels in the barrier beach (both with bottom marks of minus 1.0 m (Baltic Height System) and 60 m and 15 m wide for the Shagany Lagoon and the Burnas Lagoon respectively) throughout the year. This will deny any salinization of the water body over the long term.

For the specified variant the time of complete water renewal with sea water for the main lagoons of the Tuzla group would constitute 8 and 12 months for the Shagany Lagoon and the Alibey/Burnas Lagoons respectively.

Appendicular ureteroplasty is an extremely rare surgical intervention that is performed to restore the patency of the upper urinary tract. The purpose of the operation is to replace the narrowed part of the ureter, restore the passage of urine through the ureter, preserve and restore kidney function. In some cases, if plastic reconstructive surgery is not possible, nephrectomy is used. This clinical case is the first experience of performing ureteroplasty using the appendix in RZD-Medicine private clinical hospital, Novosibirsk. The operation was performed laparoscopically. Positive long-term results of the intervention showed its effectiveness.

A prospective observation of 524 pediatric patients with laboratory-verified coronavirus infection was carried out. The main epidemiological data were analyzed, including the age structure, as well as the features of the clinical course of the disease. Most often, the clinical picture was dominated by symptoms of ARVI: hyperemia of the fauces — in 501 patients (95.6% of cases), while fever — in 412 (78.6%), and cough — in 89 (16.9%). The involvement of the gastrointestinal tract was manifested mainly by the symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, and was observed in 37.6% of cases, specifically diarrhea — 21.2%, vomiting — 16.5%, abdominal pain syndrome — 9.2%. These manifestations were significantly more frequently recorded in patients under one year, as well as children of the first three years of life (p ≤ 0.05).
