Authors: Muinga Naomi , Magare Steve , Monda Jonathan , English Mike , Fraser Hamish , Powell John , Paton Chris
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

As healthcare facilities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) such as Kenya adopt Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems to improve hospital administration and patient care, it is important to understand the adoption process, identify the key stakeholders, and assess the capabilities of the systems in use.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the level of adoption of Electronic Health Records systems in public hospitals and understand the process of adoption from Health Management Information System (HMIS) system vendors and system users.

METHODS

We conducted a survey of County Health Records Information Officers (CHRIOs) in Kenya to determine the level of adoption of Electronic Health Records systems in public hospitals. We conducted site visits to hospitals to view systems in use and to interview hospital administrators and end users. We also interviewed Health Management Information System (HMIS) system vendors to understand the adoption process from their perspective.

RESULTS

From the survey of CHRIOs, all facilities mentioned had adopted some form of EHR. Hospitals commonly purchased systems for patient administration and hospital billing functions. Radiology and laboratory management systems were commonly standalone systems. There were varying levels of interoperability within facilities that had more than one system in operation. We only saw one in-patient EHR system in use although many vendors and hospital administrators we interviewed were planning to adopt or support such systems. From the user perspective, issues such as system usability, adequate training, availability of adequate infrastructure and system support emerged. From the vendor perspective, a wide range of services was available to the hospital though constrained by funding and the need to computerise service areas that were deemed as priority. Additionally, vendors were unable to implement some data sharing modules linking to national HMIS due to lack of appropriate policies to facilitate this and users’ lack of confidence in new technologies such as cloud services.

CONCLUSIONS

EHR adoption in Kenya has been underway for some years, particularly in comprehensive care clinics, and hospitals are increasing purchasing systems to support administrative functions. Considerable support from government, donors and regional health informatics organisations will be required to enable hospitals to move to full EHR adoption for in-patient care.
A Virtual Agent to Support Individuals Living With Physical and Mental Comorbidities: Co-Design and Acceptability Testing (Preprint)

Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

Individuals living with long-term physical health conditions frequently experience co-occurring mental health problems. This comorbidity has a significant impact on an individual’s levels of emotional distress, health outcomes, and associated health care utilization. As health care services struggle to meet demand and care increasingly moves to the community, digital tools are being promoted to support patients to self-manage their health. One such technology is the autonomous virtual agent (chatbot, conversational agent), which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to process the user’s written or spoken natural language and then to select or construct the corresponding appropriate responses.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to co-design the content, functionality, and interface modalities of an autonomous virtual agent to support self-management for patients with an exemplar long-term condition (LTC; chronic pulmonary obstructive disease [COPD]) and then to assess the acceptability and system content.

METHODS

We conducted 2 co-design workshops and a proof-of-concept implementation of an autonomous virtual agent with natural language processing capabilities. This implementation formed the basis for video-based scenario testing of acceptability with adults with a diagnosis of COPD and health professionals involved in their care.

RESULTS

Adults (n=6) with a diagnosis of COPD and health professionals (n=5) specified 4 priority self-management scenarios for which they would like to receive support: at the time of diagnosis (information provision), during acute exacerbations (crisis support), during periods of low mood (emotional support), and for general self-management (motivation). From the scenario testing, 12 additional adults with COPD felt the system to be both acceptable and engaging, particularly with regard to internet-of-things capabilities. They felt the system would be particularly useful for individuals living alone.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients did not explicitly separate mental and physical health needs, although the content they developed for the virtual agent had a clear psychological approach. Supported self-management delivered via an autonomous virtual agent was acceptable to the participants. A co-design process has allowed the research team to identify key design principles, content, and functionality to underpin an autonomous agent for delivering self-management support to older adults living with COPD and potentially other LTCs.

Authors: Huang Zhilian , Semwal Monika , Lee Shuen Yee , Tee Mervin , Ong William , Tan Woan Shin , Bajpai Ram , Tudor Car Lorainne
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

There is a shortage of health care professionals competent in diabetes management worldwide. Digital education is increasingly used in educating health professionals on diabetes. Digital diabetes self-management education for patients has been shown to improve patients’ knowledge and outcomes. However, the effectiveness of digital education on diabetes management for health care professionals is still unknown.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness and economic impact of digital education in improving health care professionals’ knowledge, skills, attitudes, satisfaction, and competencies. We also assessed its impact on patient outcomes and health care professionals’ behavior.

METHODS

We included randomized controlled trials evaluating the impact of digitalized diabetes management education for health care professionals pre- and postregistration. Publications from 1990 to 2017 were searched in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC, and Web of Science. Screening, data extraction and risk of bias assessment were conducted independently by 2 authors.

RESULTS

A total of 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies were heterogeneous in terms of digital education modality, comparators, outcome measures, and intervention duration. Most studies comparing digital or blended education to traditional education reported significantly higher knowledge and skills scores in the intervention group. There was little or no between-group difference in patient outcomes or economic impact. Most studies were judged at a high or unclear risk of bias.

CONCLUSIONS

Digital education seems to be more effective than traditional education in improving diabetes management–related knowledge and skills. The paucity and low quality of the available evidence call for urgent and well-designed studies focusing on important outcomes such as health care professionals’ behavior, patient outcomes, and cost-effectiveness as well as its impact in diverse settings, including developing countries.
Process Evaluation of Nurse-Led Online Self-Management Support for Family Caregivers to Deal With Behavior Changes of a Relative With Dementia (Part 1): Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Huis in het Veld Judith G , van Asch Iris F M , Willemse Bernadette M , Verkade Paul-Jeroen , Pot Anne Margriet , Blom Marco M , Groot Zwaaftink Rob B M , Francke Anneke L
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

Coping with behavioral changes is a daily challenge for family caregivers in all phases of dementia, and assistance is needed for it. An online self-management support intervention was therefore developed and conducted involving the following elements: (1) email contact with a specialized dementia nurse, (2) online videos, and (3) e-bulletins containing information about behavior changes and how to manage them.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to understand (1) family caregivers’ actual use of various elements of the online self-management support, (2) family caregivers’ evaluation and satisfaction with the various elements, and (3) nurses’ usage and evaluations of the online support through the tailored email contacts.

METHODS

A mixed methods design was used in this process evaluation, combining quantitative and qualitative methods including analyses of dementia nurses’ registration forms, the number of clicks on online videos and e-bulletins, evaluation questions answered by family caregivers in a survey questionnaire, semistructured interviews with family caregivers and nurses, and analysis of the content of the email contacts.

RESULTS

The actual use of various elements of the online self-management support by family caregivers varied: 78% (21/27) of family caregivers had an email contact with the specialist nurse, 80% (43/54) of family caregivers clicked on an online video, and 37% (30/81) clicked on an e-bulletin. Family caregivers showed positive evaluations and satisfaction. The tailor-made approach in the personal email contacts in particular was valued by the family caregivers. Nurses’ evaluations about providing self-management support online were mixed as it was a relatively new task for them.

CONCLUSIONS

An important insight is that not all participants made optimum use of the various elements of the intervention. Nurses also said that the email contacts were more often used to express feelings about coping with behavioral changes. More research is needed to investigate the reasons why people accept, adopt, and adhere to online interventions to reduce cases where they are not used and to back them up appropriately with tailored (online) information and advice for their personal situations.

The Effect of Religion on the Political Identity of Kurdish Youth (with Focus on University Students)
Authors: Mofidi Sabah , Rahmani Somayeh
Published: December 2018

This article studies the relationship between religion and political identity in Eastern Kurdistan located in Iran. For this purpose, it reviews at first the theoretical debates on social and political identities, the bases of Kurdish individual’s political identity and the situation of religion in Kurdish society as one of them. Then, the quantitative and analytical methods are used to measure the effect of religion. The results show that religion and religious identity are still important determinants of political identity in Kurdistan that is affected by the situation of society. Because of both the influence of religion in this traditional society and the existence of a totalitarian religious government, the other social factors and identities cannot practically affect the political identity, though they are also important and powerful in the society, especially the Kurdish identity. Hence, the political identity of Kurdish youth is further affected by the government’s politics and policies that reinforce both Iranian and religious identities and prevent the manifestation of the other identities in political arena. 
Language Teachers Improving Their Practice and Generating Knowledge through Action Research
Authors: Peralta-Castro Fernando , J Mayoral-Valdivia Pedro
Published: December 2018

This study aims to investigate a group of language teachers who seek to improve their general English syllabus through action research. Action research offers practitioners possibilities to address syllabus issues through thoughtful inquiry. Because the study requires the researcher to comprehend the subject of study, research techniques allowing participants express their beliefs, and opinions about the syllabus are entirely appropriate. Thus, it is unlikely that other research methods allow action researchers understand the contextual reality as qualitative methods do. Interviews are conducted as they are widely used in action research studies and are suitable techniques to gain insights into the practitioners’ collective reflective enquiry. The study shows that action research is a valuable tool to improve a language syllabus, an additional element action research offers to the process of syllabus improvement is that teachers can take responsibility for themselves and their actions thus by improving the syllabus they follow, they are able to emancipate themselves from the controlled situation they can find themselves in.

En Mesoamérica transitaron y se asentaron en el pasado pueblos que desarrollaron grandes civilizaciones como la maya, zapoteca, teotihuacana, azteca, entre otras. Uno de estos pueblos mesoamericanos es el chiapaneca, perteneciente al extenso grupo otomangue, cuyos miembros habitaron y habitan desde el centro-norte de México, la Depresión central y costa de Chiapas, así como la costa del Pacífico de Nicaragua hasta la Península de Nicoya, en Costa Rica. Nos proponemos estudiar el adn mitocondrial de los pueblos otomangues y particularmente de uno de ellos, el chiapaneca.

El presente artículo es el resultado de una primera exploración del área comprendida entre el centro de México hasta el Río san Juan y la Península de Nicoya en Centroamérica. En él se exponen los resultados del análisis genético basado en el uso del ácido desoxirribonucleico mitocondrial (adnmt) de habitantes actuales de la ciudad de Chiapa de Corzo (10 personas, equivalentes a 20 % de la muestra), individuos originarios de Nicaragua (21 muestras, equivalentes a
 43 % del total), así como un conjunto de 18 muestras provenientes de personas de distinto origen, equivalentes a 37 % de la muestra, como grupo de control. De acuerdo con las distancias genéticas obtenidas entre grupos de individuos, se sugiere que existe una relación genética muy cercana entre los habitantes de Chiapa de Corzo y los masaya de Nicaragua.

 
Ascensão social e mobilidade espacial de sírios e libaneses em Porto Alegre (1890-1949)
Authors: Francisco Julio Bittencourt
Published: December 2018

O texto descreve as condições econômicas e sociais nas quais os imigrantes sírios e libaneses se integraram à vida cotidiana de Porto Alegre, desde o fim da última década do século XIX, até meados do século XX. A pesquisa descreve o início da saga desses imigrantes, cuja maioria era formada por mascates e pequenos comerciantes, quando ocuparam um pequeno trecho de rua no centro da capital até o seu deslocamento para diversos bairros da cidade. Esta trajetória é marcada, no início, por condições precárias de moradia, disputas dentro do grupo e violência, para um padrão de vida pontuada pela ascensão social e mobilidade espacial que também se reflete na matricula dos seus filhos em duas das melhores instituições de ensino da capital.

A randomized controlled trial of a power brush/irrigator/mouthrinse routine on plaque and gingivitis reduction in orthodontic patients
Authors: Erbe Christina , Klukowska Malgorzata , Timm Hans C , Barker Matthew L , van der Wielen Janneke , Wehrbein Heinrich
Published: December 2018

Objectives:

To assess plaque and gingivitis reduction in orthodontic patients after 4 weeks' use of an oscillating-rotating power brush, irrigator, and mouthrinse.

Materials and Methods:

This was a randomized, examiner-blind, clinical trial comparing plaque and gingivitis outcomes for an experimental power brush/irrigator/mouthrinse oral hygiene routine vs a dental prophylaxis followed by regular manual brushing (positive control). Fifty-one participants with fixed orthodontic appliances in the upper and lower jaw and a minimum of 15 gingival bleeding sites were randomly assigned to experimental or positive control treatment. Both groups were instructed to use their products at least twice daily. At baseline, week 1, and week 4, plaque was evaluated using digital plaque imaging analysis and a conventional subjective index. Gingival inflammation and bleeding were also measured. Analysis of covariance was used to compare groups.

Results:

Fifty-one participants (mean age = 13.9 years) were randomized; 50 (25 per group) completed the study. At baseline, group means were not statistically different (P > .1) for gingival inflammation or bleeding. At week 4, the experimental and control groups had a 10.0% to 32.7% and 5.9% to 6.7% reduction vs baseline, respectively, in plaque (across both methods); 12.6% and 8.3% reduction, respectively, in gingival inflammation; and 50.6% and 37.8% reduction, respectively, in bleeding. At week 4, group differences favoring the experimental group were statistically significant (P < .05) for gingival inflammation, gingival bleeding, and plaque (by conventional and digital imaging indexes).

Conclusions:

Use of a power brush/irrigator/mouthrinse resulted in statistically significantly greater plaque and gingivitis reductions than prophylaxis followed by manual brushing in patients with fixed appliances over 4 weeks.
A prospective, split-mouth, clinical study of orthodontic titanium miniscrews with machined and acid-etched surfaces
Authors: Park Hyo-Jin , Choi Sung-Hwan , Choi Yoon Jeong , Park Young-Bum , Kim Kwang-Mahn , Yu Hyung-Seog
Published: December 2018

Objectives:

To determine whether the success rate and primary stability of surface-treated miniscrews differ from those of nontreated miniscrews.

Materials and Methods:

Patients who required one or more miniscrews for the same reason in each quadrant were recruited into a single-blinded, split-mouth, randomized, controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Self-drilling miniscrews with two surface types were used: those with no surface treatment, and those with an acid-etched surface treatment. The cumulative success rate and primary stability of each type of miniscrew were examined, and factors potentially affecting the success and failure of miniscrews were investigated.

Results:

Forty patients were included in the study, with a total of 98 orthodontic miniscrews. The overall success rate was 88.8%, and the respective success rates for acid-etched and machined surface miniscrews were 91.8% and 85.7%. The respective mean insertion torques were 13.62 ± 5.95 N·cm and 13.38 ± 4 N·cm, and periotest values measured immediately after insertion were −0.50 ± 2.77 for acid-etched miniscrews and −0.28 ± 3.36 for machined surface miniscrews. There was no significant difference in the mean insertion torques and periotest values according to surface treatment and jaw.

Conclusions:

Neither the success rate nor the primary stability of acid-etched surface miniscrews and machined surface miniscrews differed significantly. There is a high possibility that miniscrews will fall out in patients who have an open bite or those who require total distalization.
Differences in heritability of craniofacial skeletal and dental characteristics between hypo- and hyper-divergent patterns using Falconer's method and principal component analysis
Authors: Kim Do-Keun , Sung Joohon , Song Yun-Mi , Kim Eung-Min , Kim Young Ho , Baek Seung-Hak
Published: December 2018

Objectives:

To investigate the difference in heritability of craniofacial skeletal and dental characteristics between hypodivergent and hyperdivergent patterns.

Materials and Methods:

53 Korean adult monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins and their siblings were divided into a hypodivergent group (Group 1, SN-MP < 35°, 17 MZ pairs; 11 DZ and sibling [DS] pairs of the same gender) and hyper-divergent group (Group 2, SN-MP > 35°, 16 MZ pairs; 9 DS pairs of the same gender). A total of 56 cephalometric variables were measured using lateral cephalographs. Craniofacial structures were divided into anteroposterior, vertical, dental, mandible, and cranial base characteristics. Falconer's method was used to calculate heritability (h2 > 0.8, high). After principal component analysis (PCA), the mean h2 value of each component was calculated.

Results:

Group 1 exhibited high heritability values in shape and position of the mandible, vertical angular/ratio variables, cranial base shape, and maxillary incisor inclination. Group 2 showed high heritability values in anteroposterior position of the maxilla, intermaxillary relationship, vertical angular variables, cranial base length, and mandibular incisor inclination. Occlusal plane inclination showed high heritability in both groups. Although vertical structure presented a high overall mean h2 value in Group 1, there were no structures that exhibited a high overall mean h2 value in Group 2. PCA derived 10 components with 91.2% and 92.7% of cumulative explanation in Groups 1 and 2, respectively.

Conclusions:

It is necessary to estimate or predict growth according to vertical pattern for providing differential diagnosis and orthodontic/orthopedic treatment planning.
A Randomized Double-blind Clinical Trial of Dentin Surface Treatments for Composite Restorations in Noncarious Cervical Lesions: A 36-month Evaluation
Authors: Rocha AC , Salas MM Suca , Masotti AS , da Rosa WLO , Zanchi CH , Lund RG
Published: December 2018

Objective:

This randomized, double-blind clinical trial aimed to evaluate the influence of different dentin surface treatments in noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs).

Methods and Materials:

Twenty-nine patients participated in this study. One hundred sixty-five NCCLs were selected and randomly assigned to three groups: G0 (control group) with phosphoric acid etching for 15 seconds; G1: phosphoric acid etching for 30 seconds; and G2: ultrasound probe applied for 30 seconds on the dentin surface. Class V composite resin restorations were performed (Z350, 3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA). The restorations were evaluated at baseline and at six, 12, 24, and 36 months according to the World Dental Federation criteria. Survival curves were obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. Comparisons between groups and times were performed using the McNemar and Chi-square tests (α=0.05).

Results:

The presence of failures due to retention was statistically different among the groups (p=0.012), and G0 and G2 showed better clinical performance than did G1. Sensitivity decreased over time in all groups. Marginal discoloration, postoperative sensitivity, and marginal adaptation were not different among the groups (p>0.05).

Conclusions:

The studied dentin surface treatments showed similar clinical performance to the conventional technique at 36 months in terms of marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, and postoperative sensitivity. In contrast, increased acid-etching time resulted in a higher risk of failure due to retention over time in composite Class V restorations.
Cartillas y ortografías ibéricas en el siglo XVI João de Barros y Juan de Robles
Authors:   Universidad de Sevilla, Gómez Camacho Alejandro
Published: December 2018

This study establishes a comparison between works by João de Barros and Juan de Robles, who both published Primers for Learning for Portuguese and Spanish in the mid-sixteenth century. Both authors posed different proposals for a reform of spelling. The arguments discussed also included educational considerations in favour of the phonetic spelling, which makes them an invaluable source in the history of education in Portugal and Spain. Barros and Robles began in the Iberian Peninsula the tradition of grammars, spellings and writing arts that also dealt with the teaching of reading and writing, that until now have not received enough attention.

This paper aims to present the Language Centre of the University of the Algarve (CL-UAlg) from its inception in 2000 to the present time. Through a brief description of its history and the presentation of figures related to students, courses and exams, we show how both the academic community and the local community consider learning foreign languages an important professional, academic and personal skill. We also describe the changes on the demand of foreign languages, and how the Centre monitors the quality of courses and students’ overall satisfaction. Finally, we describe the Centre’s partnerships which aim at providing official certification of foreign language skills for work, to pursue studies abroad and for acquiring citizenship.

Nous présentons ici une étude développée en utilisant la méthodologie eye tracking, intégrée dans un travail de recherche plus élargi, raison pour laquelle nous allons le contextualiser, pour justifier les conditions qui ont donné lieu à l'étude plus restreinte. Dans l'étude principale, nous avons cherché à identifier les marques d'apprentissage motivées par l'exposition des étudiants à des documents multimodaux, et par l'adoption d'un dispositif technologique qui nous a permis d'ouvrir notre salle de classe de français à d'autres espaces d'apprentissage créés par les technologies. Notre objectif était aussi d'identifier les marques d'apprentissage provoquées par le passage d'une approche sémasiologique à une approche onomasiologique dans l'enseignement des langues, suite à la technologie appliquée, conformément aux études menées par le Conseil de l'Europe. Renforçant le caractère ethno méthodologique de la recherche développée, et encadré dans le plan des prospectives méthodologiques, le processus a conduit à une étude exploratoire d’usabilité, présentée comme une proposition d'instrument d'analyse complémentaire, où nous avons cherché à caractériser les processus de lecture de documents multimodaux, à l’appui de la technologie eye tracking.

Kantelepelimannit Arvi, Aarne ja Alfred
Authors: Syrjälä Pauliina
Published: December 2018

Tämä artikkeli käsittelee suomalaisen kanteleperinteen yhtä lajia, tikkusoittoa. Aihetta on tähän saakka tutkittu vain vähän, vaikka arkistoaineiston perusteella perinteisten tikkusoittotyylien kirjo on ollut laaja. Näkökulmani tässä artikkelissa on musiikkianalyyttinen, mutta arkistoaineiston tutkiminen on tapahtunut ensisijaisesti soittamalla havainnoiden. 

Artikkelin kysymyksenasettelu kytkeytyy tikkusoiton perinnetyyleihin ja niiden tutkimiseen soittamalla. Tarkastelen kolmen tikkusoittoperinnettä edustavan pelimannin henkilökohtaista tyyliä. Millaisina nämä soittotyylit näyttäytyvät, kun niitä lähestyy kaikilta näiltä soittajilta tallennetun Hienohelma-kappaleen versioita vertaillen? Selvitän myös tyylintutkimuksen prosessia, kun muusikko tutkii perinnetyylejä soittonsa avulla arkistomateriaaliin perustuen. Millaisia haasteita hän tässä työssä kohtaa?

 Artikkelin taustatyössä olen tutkinut ja opiskellut perinnettä arkistotallenteilta soittaen sekä analysoiden, esittänyt perinnetyylejä konsertissa ja pohtinut syvällisesti suhdettani traditioon. Tärkein menetelmäni on ollut soittamalla havainnoiminen ja lähestymistapana musisoiva tutkija, tutkiva muusikko on tässä tutkimuksessa olennainen.

 Artikkelin tutkimusaineisto koostuu vuosina 1937–1983 kerätyistä tikkusoiton arkistotallenteista, jotka ovat peräisin neljästä eri arkistosta. Analyysiosuudessa keskityn vertailemaan ja erittelemään kolmen pelimannin, Arvi Pokelan, Aarne Moision ja Alfred Backmanin soittotyylien piirteitä. Keskinäisten eroavaisuuksiensa vuoksi nämä tyylit muodostavat kattavan otoksen tikkusoiton arkistomateriaalista.

 Kolmelta soittajalta tallennettujen Hienohelmojen myötä avautui mahdollisuus tarkastella, kuinka nämä pelimannit ovat toteuttaneet saman kappaleen kukin omalla henkilökohtaisella tyylillään. Soittotyylejä vertailtaessa huomio kiinnittyy ennen kaikkea niiden moninaisuuteen. Moision ja Pokelan tyylit asettuvat tämän vertailun ääripäihin Backmanin tyylin sijoittuessa näiden välimaastoon.

 Perinteisten soittotapojen opetteluun liittyy monenlaisia haasteita, kun se perustuu pelkästään arkistotallenteiden hyödyntämiseen, eikä pelimannin tyyliin ole mahdollista tutustua yhdessä hänen kanssaan musisoiden. Tällainen työskentely kuitenkin kannattaa, sillä sen avulla voi ymmärtää menneisyyttä ja mahdollistaa tradition jatkumista.
