Architectural and artistic image of a historical and memorial complex in the Arkhangelsk Oblast
Authors: Shabiev S. G. , Tyurin M. Yu.
Published: July 2024

The study focuses on the problem of сreating a historical and memorial complex on the Mudyug Island in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. A new architectural and artistic image of the socio-cultural environment is created, which bears spirituality and perpetuates the memory of the last century’s tragic events. This is achieved by a wide toolkit of the architectural science, a review of literature sources review, and a theoretical generalization of the global experience. S.G. Shabiev conducted field surveys of memorial complexes not only in the Russian Federation, but also in Australia, Canada, China, and European countries. Moreover, an architectural and landscape analysis of the designed area was carried out, along with a study of potential tourist routes and connection to the continental part. The main elements of the site development were identified, with the center of the composition located in the Belaya Bashnya lighthouse area. As a result, the authors developed a conceptual design plan of the complex with an original master plan structure based on three lighthouse beams. These projected ground-level beams include standalone memorial facilities and culminate with the elements of a café, a viewing platform, and a pier on the Dvina Bay shore. All the beams also comprise well-maintained fields, small architectural forms, open-air exhibition spaces, and concert venues for literary events on the historical themes of the complex. Furthermore, the conceptual design plan provides for the construction of a 125-place hotel next to the lighthouse. The study demonstrates an unparalleled architectural and planning solution on the basis of innovative techniques using abstract spaces of the museum complex. These spaces represent sculptural forms, artistically reflecting historical events of the island.
Public policies on human rights to water in informal settlements: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Rodrigues Paulo Marco , Gonçalves Jorge , Marques Rui Cunha
Published: July 2024

Global attention and academic research have focused on the intersection of informal settlements, water rights, and public policy implementation. However, the overlap of these topics remains underexplored, and trends are largely unknown. This study aims to identify aspects related to public policies on human rights to water in informal urban settlements (IUS) and their association with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A bibliometric analysis of 1,702 publications from 1978 to June 2023 was conducted using R Studio and Biblioshiny. Descriptive analysis, clustering, and mapping were employed to identify key measures for effective public policies. These include infrastructure investment, fair water pricing regulation, and socioeconomic inclusion. Furthermore, it was found that public policies should be adaptive and inclusive, with a focus on gender-sensitive approaches to address unique challenges faced by women. It is recommended that these policies prioritize environmental sustainability and innovative technologies, to support the SDGs 6, 10, 11, and 13. This will enhance resilience and well-being in IUS communities.

Authors: Tomar Sachin Kumar , Deshpande Aditi , Dhiman Sourbh , Singh Ravi Karan , Balakrishnan Malini
Published: July 2024

This work evaluated an anaerobic sequencing batch membrane bioreactor (AnSBR-MBR) equipped with waste-based ceramic membranes for treating low-strength real drain wastewater. Two feeding regimes, viz. settled feed (Phase 1) and mixed feed (Phase 2) were compared. The biological performance (chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phosphate (PO43-) removal) and filtration performance (total suspended solids (TSS) removal and membrane fouling) were investigated. The reactor characteristics in terms of solids content, sludge settling behaviour, and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were also assessed. In Phase 1, the settled feed (with the absence of particulate organic matter) resulted in low volatile suspended solids (VSS; 0.23 ± 0.15 g/L), causing low COD removal (28.38 ± 8.14%). In the mixed feed regime in Phase 2, VSS increased (1.82 ± 0.60 g/L) due to the organic content in the particulate matter, which gave microorganisms additional food, resulting in increased COD removal (47.42 ± 2.81%); this phase was also characterised by lower membrane fouling because of the lower EPS content. Marginally higher TSS removal was obtained as well in Phase 2 (96.72 ± 3.26%) than in Phase 1 (90.48 ± 8.14%). This work demonstrates that AnSBR-MBR performance is superior with mixed drain wastewater containing suspended solids and thus pre-settling is not recommended.
Oportunidades perdidas para el uso social del conocimiento científico en la política agroalimentaria en la escala subnacional
Authors: Anzaldo Montoya Mónica
Published: July 2024

La naturaleza compleja de los problemas que el gobierno y la sociedad afrontan enfatiza la necesidad del asesoramiento científico. No obstante, el tránsito entre la producción de conocimiento y el aprovechamiento de éste por parte de los tomadores de decisión suele ser lento y lleno de dificultades de orden económico, político, técnico y epistemológico. Este artículo aborda la experiencia del Programa Regional Caprino de San Luis Potosí para examinar cuáles fueron las dimensiones sociales que obstaculizaron que la información científica fuera considerada como relevante para la toma de decisiones. El estudio muestra que en el Programa se perdieron oportunidades para el aprovechamiento social de la ciencia debido al desencuentro de perspectivas, valores, intereses y significados sobre esta actividad socioproductiva tan importante para la soberanía alimentaria. Se argumenta la importancia de instalar mecanismos de interfaz ciencia-política que permitan aprovechar las capacidades científicas locales y conlleven mejores políticas en beneficio de las familias productoras. La originalidad de este estudio radica en que se propone como herramienta analítica la matriz de oportunidades perdidas que proviene de los estudios sociales de la ciencia y tecnología y se muestra su operacionalización. Entre las limitaciones está que el estudio incluyó los testimonios de tomadores de decisiones e investigadores, por lo que otras investigaciones podrían ampliar los resultados expuestos en este trabajo entrevistando a los productores agropecuarios.
discurso oficial de la campechanidad como estrategia ideológica de cohesión social
Authors: Farfán Gómez Carlos Javier
Published: July 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar acerca del origen del discurso oficial de la campechanidad, diseñado e implementado en el estado mexicano de Campeche durante el sexenio del gobernador José Antonio González Curi (1997-2003). A través del análisis crítico del discurso de dos documentos de gobierno, se constata que la definición de “lo campechano” respondió a intereses particulares de la clase política. A pesar de que la motivación ideológica de la construcción identitaria de la campechanidad se explica a partir de un momento histórico en específico (un conflicto postelectoral), esta tradición continúa vigente en la actualidad y se ha arraigado en el imaginario colectivo de los campechanos. El valor de esta investigación radica en el hecho de que son escasos los estudios acerca de la identidad local en Campeche. Se concluye que, ante un escenario de conflicto postelectoral, el gobierno optó por echar a andar una estrategia ideológica identitaria que permearía tanto en la esfera sociocultural como en la educativa.

Authors: Utami Sri Lestari , Simamora Dorta , Idawati Ira , Widjaja Jimmy Hadi
Published: July 2024

Background: Genetics was one of the risk factors for essential hypertension (EH). Research on ACE I/D and A2350G polymorphisms associated with risk factors for hypertension in Indonesia has never been done. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the relationship between the genotype and alleles of this gene with EH, body weight, and body mass index (BMI) in Javanese postmenopausal women.Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study involved 69 postmenopausal Javanese women according to several criteria related with hypertension risk factors. The data were obtained from the measurement and questionnaire results, along with Towards Health Card Records. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping method used was the restriction fragment length polymorphism and allele-specific.Results: The prevalence of hypertension, prehypertension, and normotension in Javanese postmenopausal women were 0.246, 0.13, and 0.623, respectively. The frequency of BMI classification as underweight, normal, overweight, or obese were 0.029, 0.42, 0.261, and 0.29, respectively. The ACE I/D and A2350G polymorphism variant genotypes and frequencies found were II (0.464), ID (0.522), DD (0.014), and AA (1). Meanwhile, the alleles and their frequencies at ACE I/D gene polymorphism were I (0.725) and D (0.275). The II and ID genotype was mostly found in normotension subjects. The DD genotype was only available in hypertension subjects. There was no association between genotypes and alleles of ACE I/D, hypertension, body weight, and BMI classification (p>0.05). There was an association between these genotypes, alleles, and BMI (p<0.05).Conclusion: ACE I/D polymorphism is susceptible for BMI in Javanese postmenopausal women.Keywords: Javanese postmenopausal, essential hypertension, ACE I/D, ACE A2350G

Binary regression model with misclassification and Berkson-type measurement error with student-t distribution
Authors: Alves Pereira Marcos Antonio , Blas Achic Betsabé Grimalda
Published: July 2024

In this article, we introduce a regression model tailored for fitting binary data affected by misclassification in the response variable and Berkson-type measurement error in the covariate. The conventional assumption of a normal distribution for measurement error may inadequately represent atypical observations present in the dataset. To address this limitation, our model incorporates misclassification in the response variable and Berksontype measurement error, employing the Student-t distribution for more robust modeling of these atypical observations. We utilize the cumulative distribution function from the Student-t distribution as the link function, enhancing our ability to capture the dataset’s unique characteristics. Model parameters are estimated via the maximum likelihood method. We conduct a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation study to thoroughly assess the impact of measurement errors and misclassification. Additionally, we apply the proposed model to a real-world dataset of survivors from the atomic bombing in Japan, showcasing its adaptability and suitability in practical scenarios. Our findings highlight the robustness and flexibility of this model in effectively handling complex binary regression scenarios involving measurement errors and misclassification.
Mothers Experiencing Legal and Financial Precarity Post-Migration: Solidarity Practices, Everyday Resistance and the Role of Social Infrastructure
Authors: Benchekroun Rachel
Published: July 2024

Restrictive immigration policies across Europe intersect with socio-economic structures, increasing the risks of precarity, exploitation and abuse faced by many women and mothers. This can be understood as ‘structural’ or ‘slow’ violence, and in the UK particularly affects racially minoritised mothers with insecure immigration statuses experiencing financial hardship. Drawing on my ethnographic research in London, UK, this article explores how precariously positioned mothers engage in solidarity practices which are infused with everyday resistance, and how social infrastructure shapes these practices. I identify six solidarity practices: reaching out and providing recognition; sharing material and financial resources; sharing information and practical help; informal hosting; providing advice and advocacy; and sharing emotional support. The article shows how solidarity practices are entwined with everyday resistance, and highlights how social infrastructure can facilitate mobilisation of intersecting identities, supporting such solidarity practices. It also calls attention to the tensions that can emerge within everyday solidarity practices.
Two management cases of intrauterine device translocation to the bladder
Authors: Nechiporenko A. N.
Published: July 2024

Introduction Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are widely used worldwide. One of the rare but serious complications is uterine perforation and the penetration of an IUD through the uterine wall into the bladder. In this report, we present two cases of IUD removal from the bladder wall.

Clinical case. Two patients were referred for recurrent episodes of dysuria. Medical imaging and cystoscopy revealed a foreign body in the bladder wall, which was confirmed to be an IUD that had been inserted into the uterine cavity several years prior and partially migrated into the bladder lumen. Both patients underwent successful transurethral surgery, with complete removal of the IUD without fragmentation.

Discussion. The removal of the IUD through the bladder did not cause any complications, and the patients were discharged from the hospital after five days. The translation of the IUD is possible if there is partial or complete damage to the wall of the cervix, isthmus or uteral body during the installation of the device.

Conclusion. Patients with an IUD in place and frequent episodes of acute cystitis should have a cystoscopy to rule out bladder perforation caused by the IUD. The removal of the IUD through the urethra using an cystoscope and forceps is a relatively simple procedure that does not usually cause any intraoperative, immediate or delayed postoperative complications.
Patient and Provider Satisfaction With a Geomapping Tool for Finding Community Family Physicians in Ontario, Canada: Cross-Sectional Online Survey Study
Authors: Belanger Christopher , Peixoto Cayden , Francoeur Sara , Bjerre Lise M
Published: July 2024

Background

Language-concordant health care, or health care in a patient’s language of choice, is an important element of health accessibility that improves patient safety and comfort and facilitates an increased quality of care. However, prior research has found that linguistic minorities often face higher travel burdens to access language-concordant care compared to the general population.

Objective

This study intended to assess patient experiences and satisfaction with an online interactive physician map that allows patients to find family physicians who speak their preferred language in and around Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, as a means of identifying areas of improvement.

Methods

This study used an online survey with questions related to user satisfaction. Responses to Likert-scale questions were compiled as summary statistics and short-answer responses underwent thematic analysis. The study setting was Ottawa and Renfrew County, Ontario, and the surrounding region, including the province of Quebec.

Results

A total of 93 respondents completed the survey and self-identified as living in Ontario or Quebec. Overall, 57 (61%) respondents were “very satisfied” or “somewhat satisfied” with the map, 16 (17%) were “neither satisfied nor dissatisfied,” and 20 (22%) were “very dissatisfied” or “somewhat dissatisfied.” We found no significant differences in satisfaction by preferred language, age group, physician attachment, or intended beneficiary. A total of 56 respondents provided short-answer responses to an open-ended question about map improvements. The most common specific suggestion was to show which physicians are accepting new patients (n=20). Other suggestions included data refreshes (n=6), user interface adjustments (n=23), and additional languages (n=2). Some participants also provided positive feedback (n=5) or expressed concern with their inability to find a family physician (n=5). Several comments included multiple suggestions.

Conclusions

While most patients were satisfied with the online map, a significant minority expressed dissatisfaction that the map did not show which family physicians were accepting new patients. This suggests that there may be public interest in an accessible database of which family physicians in Ontario are currently accepting new patients.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Emerging evidence suggests that positive impacts can be generated when digital health interventions are designed to be responsive to the cultural and socioeconomic context of their intended audiences.

OBJECTIVE

This narrative review aims to synthesize the literature about the cultural adaptation of digital health interventions. It examines how concepts of culture and context feature in design and development processes, including the methods, models, and content of these interventions, with the aim of helping researchers to make informed decisions about how to approach cultural adaptation in digital health.

METHODS

Literature searches for this narrative review were conducted across 4 databases. Following full-text article screening by 2 authors, 16 studies of interventions predominantly focused on the self-management of health were selected based on their detailed focus on the process of cultural adaptation. Key considerations for cultural adaptation were identified and synthesized through a qualitative narrative approach, enabling an integrative and in-depth understanding of cultural adaptation.

RESULTS

The literature demonstrates varying approaches and levels of cultural adaptation across stages of intervention development, involving considerations such as the research ethos orienting researchers, the methodologies and models used, and the resultant content adaptations. In relation to the latter, culturally appropriate and accessible user interface design and translation can be seen as particularly important in shaping the level of adaptation.

CONCLUSIONS

Optimizing cultural adaptation involves linking culture with other contextual factors such as economic conditions and social systems to ensure accessibility and the sustained use of digital health interventions. Culturally humble approaches that use the involvement of a broad range of participants, experts, and other stakeholders are demonstrated to spark vital insights for content development, implementation, and evaluation.
Essential Coaching for Every Mother Tanzania (ECEM-TZ): Protocol for a Type 1 Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Dol Justine , Mselle Lilian Teddy , Campbell-Yeo Marsha , Mbekenga Columba , Kohi Thecla , McMillan Douglas , Dennis Cindy-Lee , Tomblin Murphy Gail , Aston Megan
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Despite global goals to improve maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes, mortality and morbidity continue to be a concern, particularly during the postnatal period in low- and middle-income countries. While mothers have the responsibility of providing ongoing care for newborns at home, they often receive insufficient newborn care education in Tanzania. Mobile health via text messaging is an ever-growing approach that may address this gap and provide timely education.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to evaluate a text message intervention called Essential Coaching for Every Mother Tanzania (ECEM-TZ) to improve maternal access to essential newborn care education during the immediate 6-week postnatal period.

METHODS

ECEM-TZ consists of standardized text messages from birth to 6 weeks post partum that provide evidence-based information on caring for their newborn and recognizing danger signs. Messages were developed and then reviewed by Tanzanian mothers and nurse midwives before implementation. A hybrid type 1 randomized controlled trial will compare ECEM-TZ to standard care among mothers (n=124) recruited from 2 hospitals in Dar es Salaam. The effectiveness outcomes include newborn care knowledge, maternal self-efficacy, breastfeeding self-efficacy, maternal mental health, attendance at the 6-week postnatal checkup, and newborn morbidity and mortality. The implementation outcomes include the reach and quality of implementation of the ECEM-TZ intervention.

RESULTS

Recruitment for this study occurred between June 13, 2024, and July 22, 2024. A total of 143 participants were recruited, 71 in the control and 72 in the intervention. The 6-week follow-up data collection began on July 30, 2024, and was completed on September 21, 2024.

CONCLUSIONS

This study will generate evidence about the effectiveness of implementing text messaging during the early postnatal period and the feasibility of doing so in 2 hospitals in Dar es Salaam. The intervention has been designed in collaboration with mothers and nurse midwives in Tanzania.

Enhancing Enrollment and Adherence in Long-term Wearables Dementia Research: A Qualitative Synthesis from a Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Peterson Colleen , St. Louis Renée M. , Flannagan Carol A.
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

With the rapid expansion of wearable technologies, there is increased interest in their utility for passive data collection applications in aging research. Wearables can be specifically beneficial to research featuring people with dementia and their families who have burdens that can make both study participation and reliable data collection more difficult, especially as dementia progresses. However, population-specific issues affecting the success of wearables for data collection can include remembering to wear a device, fluctuating acceptance of the device or study participation, and reliance on strained caregivers. Better understanding of how research with wearables can address these and other issues is necessary to enhance participant buy-in and sustained wearing for better quality dementia research.

OBJECTIVE

We undertook a systematic evaluation of contemporary wearables research to describe this population's wearables experiences, desired qualities, and protocol needs.

METHODS

We used the PRISMA 2020 guide to systematic reviews and searched three scholarly databases using medical subject heading (MeSH) terms for papers published since 2018 featuring the use or discussion of wearable devices for persons with dementia. We screened 1757 abstracts and retained 58 for full-text review.

RESULTS

We present synthesized preferences, barriers, and facilitators to wearables buy-in and adherence in dementia research. A total of 29 factors were categorized into four overarching categories aligned with study development: device selection, protocol considerations, enhancing recruitment, and promoting adherence.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings inform researcher guidelines for wearable device selection and protocol design to enhance the utility of wearables in future longitudinal research featuring persons with dementia and their caregivers.
Association between gait monitoring using wearable sensors and sarcopenia assessing muscle mass, strength, and physical performance in older people: a cross-sectional study (Preprint)
Authors: Shin Jinyoung , Kweon Hyuk Jung , Choi Jaekyung
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Gait parameters are indicators that correlate with the onset of sarcopenia and decline in physical performance. However, studies exploring the correlation between real-time gait monitoring using wearable sensors and sarcopenia are limited.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the association between gait parameters measured using wearable sensors and sarcopenia based on measurements of muscle mass, strength, and physical performance in community-dwelling older adults.

METHODS

In a cross-sectional study of 91 participants aged ≥ 65 years, gait parameters including step count, step length, cadence, single and double support times, vertical oscillation, and instantaneous vertical loading rate (IVLR) were analyzed in relation to sarcopenia. This study was performed at an outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Seoul, Korea, between July 10, 2023, and November 1, 2023. Sarcopenia was defined by various measurements: calf circumference, SARC-F questionnaire responses, handgrip strength, appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) using bioelectrical impedance analysis, 5-time chair stand test, and short physical performance battery (SPPB).

RESULTS

Among the 91 participants (45 men and 46 women; mean age: 74.1 for men and 73.6 for women), gait speed, vertical oscillation, and IVLR were negatively associated with the 5-time chair stand test and SARC-F, and positively associated with SPPB. Vertical oscillations are also associated with grip strength. Gait speed and single support time were associated with SMI. However, the statistical significance of the association disappeared after adjusting for age, sex, waist circumference, body mass index, and comorbidities. The relationship between these gait parameters and sarcopenia, especially muscle strength and physical performance, was independently consistent (Bonferroni correction, p < 0.05) in the multiple regression analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

Gait monitoring with wearable sensors correlated with sarcopenia in older adults, confirming its utility in assessing muscle mass, strength, and physical performance.

Published: July 2024

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by the presence of multiple cysts on the ovaries, menstrual irregularities, and hormonal imbalances. PCOS is a complex condition with a wide range of symptoms and varying degrees of severity. PCOS not only affects women of childbearing age but also adolescent girls and post- menopausal women. Most of the women affected by PCOS belong to the age group of 18-44 year. This condition affects about 5-10 percent of women of reproductive age and it is the most common endocrine disorder in women. Some of the most common symptoms include irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, and weight gain. PCOS is also associated with an increased risk of infertility, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The exact cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors. Treatment for PCOS is focused on managing symptoms and reducing the risk of complications. Lifestyle changes, such as exercise and a healthy diet, are often recommended as the first line of treatment. Medications may also be prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve insulin sensitivity. PCOS can be a challenging condition to manage, but with proper diagnosis and treatment, most women with PCOS can lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Regular medical check-ups, healthy lifestyle choices, and ongoing support from healthcare providers can help women with PCOS to manage their symptoms and reduce their risk of complications.

Semakin berkembangnya jaringan internet dapat mempermudah proses pertukaran informasi. Ketika suatu informasi bersifat rahasia ditransmisikan lewat jaringan komputer/internet, maka diperlukan jaminan bahwa informasi tersebut hanya dapat diakses oleh pihak yang berkepentingan. Pernaslahan tersebut dapat di selesaikan dengan salah satu cara  yaitu penyembunyian pesan dalam pengiriman adalah merubah data menjadi yang tidak dimengerti dengan cara di sisipkan ke dalam pixel yang dinamakan teknik steganografi. Pada Teknik steganografi ini salah satu metode yang dapat di gunakan adalah metode Modified Least Significant Bit (MLSB). MLSB merupakan pengembangan dari metode LSB yaitu dengan memodifikasi data dengan cara merubah dari 8 bit menjadi 5 bit. Selain metode MLSB tersebut kita juga dapat menggunakan fungsi hash MD5 sebagai tambahan pengamanan.  Dengan menggunakan fungsi hash MD5 serta dengan menggunakan metode MLSB (modified least significat bit) ini kualitas dari file citra yang di hasilkan menunjukkan nilai baik karena dari rata - rata nilai dari gambar sampel dengan nilai MSE 0.0037 serta PSNR di atas 60db.

Pengembangan sistem Lective selalu diupayakan untuk memajukan segala aspek dalam sistem pendidikan guna memudahkan proses belajar mengajar dan memberikan pelayanan. Salah satunya laporan hasil perumusan kurikulum untuk memudahkan proses identifikasi dan pengendalian oleh program studi. Laporan progres penyusunan RPS dan notifikasi dapat bermanfaat sebagai pemantauan dan mengevaluasi perkembangan atau progres penyusunan kurikulum yang dilakukan oleh masing-masing dosen pengampu mata kuliah, sehingga kinerja dosen maupun program studi lebih terkontrol. Pengembangan dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisa kualitatif dan mencari pengujian solusi menggunakan proses BPI (Business Process Improvement). Pengujian dilakukan menggunakan Black Box Testing dengan menyusun skenario uji serta menerapkan pengujian fungsionalitas setelah pengembangan sistem. Hasil yang didapatkan yaitu notifikasi pada dashboard dosen berupa tanggat tenggat waktu dan nilai persentase progress kumulatif penyusunan RPS, halaman progress persentase penyusunan masing-masing dosen pengampu,  dan progress RPS seluruh dosen. Dari pengujian yang dilakukan, pengembangan sistem dikatakan tidak menggangu fungsionalitas sistem sebelumnya, namun dalam pencocokan nilai persentasi yang didapat sistem membutuhkan penggalian lebih dalam untuk sesuai dengan penilaian pakar.
