Pain management programmes via video conferencing: a rapid review
Authors: Walumbe Jackie , Belton Joletta , Denneny Diarmuid
Published: October 2020

Objectives

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare has been transformed by the rapid switch from in person care to use of remote consulting, including video conferencing technology. Whilst much has been published on one-to-one video consultations, little literature exists on use of this technology to facilitate group interventions. Group pain management programmes are a core treatment provided by many pain services. This rapid review aimed to identify the extent of use of video conferencing technology for delivery of group pain management programmes and provide an overview of its use.

Methods

A rapid review of the literature published up to April 2020 (PubMed, PsycINFO and PEDro) was performed. The search string consisted of three domains: pain/CP (MeSH term) AND Peer group[MeSH] AND Videoconferencing[MeSH]/Telemedicine[MeSH]/Remote Consultation[MeSH]. The studies were of poor methodological quality and study design, and interventions and chronic pain conditions were varied.

Results

Literature searching yielded three eligible papers for this review. All studies had low methodological quality and risk of bias. Heterogeneity and variability in outcome reporting did not allow any pooling of data. The results demonstrated that videoconferencing for delivery of group programmes is possible, yet there is little extant literature on how to develop, deliver and measure outcomes of such programmes.

Conclusions

This review demonstrates that there is little evidence to support or guide the use of synchronous videoconferencing to deliver pain management programmes. We present issues to consider, informed by this review and our experience, when implementing video conferencing. Study quality of existing work is variable, and extensive future research is necessary.

Determination of 234U and 238U in seawater samples by alpha spectrometry after concentration of U(VI) onto hydrotalcite and co-precipitation with LaF3
Authors: Suc N. V. , Bich T. T.
Published: October 2020

This paper presents a simple and accurate method for determination of uranium isotopes (234U and 238U) in seawater samples using alpha spectrometry. Uranium is pre-concentrated from seawater samples via adsorption on hydrotalcite at pH 6.5. The absorbent is dissolved into 50 ml of 8M HNO3; then filtered through a Dowex-1 column. U(VI) in the elution solution is reduced to U(IV) using zinc metal in 4M solution of HCl and then co-precipitated with LaF3. The chemical separation efficiency is found to be 97.12±2.68%, eliminating the need of using 232U tracer in other published methods. This method is validated via comparison with results obtained using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and neutron activation analysis (NAA) for three seawater samples.

Authors: House Samantha A. , Shubkin Catherine D. , Lahey Tim , Brosco Jeffrey P. , Lantos John
Published: October 2020

The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has triggered an intense global research effort to inform the life-saving work of frontline clinicians who need reliable information as soon as possible. Yet research done in pressured circumstances can lead to ethical dilemmas, especially for vulnerable research subjects. We present the case of a child with neurocognitive impairment who is diagnosed with COVID-19 infection after presenting with fever and a seizure. The child lives in a group home and is in the custody of the state; her parents lost parental rights many years ago. Some members of the health care team want to enroll her in a randomized clinical trial evaluating an experimental treatment of COVID-19. For minor patients to enroll in this clinical trial, the institutional review board requires assent of patients and consent of guardians. An ethics consult is called to help identify relevant concerns in enrollment. In the accompanying case discussion, we address historical perspectives on research involving people with disabilities; proper management of research participation for people with disabilities including consent by proxy, therapeutic misconception, and other threats to the ethical validity of clinical trials; and the potentially conflicting obligations of researchers and clinicians.

The relationship between the skill-challenge balance, game expertise, flow and the urge to keep playing complex mobile games
Authors: Larche Chanel J. , Dixon Mike J.
Published: October 2020

Background and aims

Interest surrounding the relationship between flow and problematic gameplay has surged. An important antecedent of flow in the context of video-gaming is the skill-challenge balance, but researchers have only manipulated this balance by changing speed of play. The current research seeks to examine the skill-challenge balance and flow in a mobile game in which challenge is increased via the complexity of puzzles. We predicted games like Candy-Crush would more strongly support a model of flow in which the greatest flow would be experienced by more skilled players and that high flow games would induce the most urge to continue play.

Methods

We had 60 Candy-Crush players play games near their level standing (maximal skill-challenge balance), or games that were too easy or too hard. Perceived skill, challenge, flow, and urge to continue gameplay were measured after each game.

Results

Players felt the highest degree of skill-challenge balance when playing games around their level standing. Easy games produced the least flow, while both regular and hard games produced comparable flow despite hard games being far more challenging and frustrating. The findings support models of flow positing those with highest perceived skill will experience greater flow. Finally, flow and arousal combine to increase urge to keep playing.

Discussion and conclusions

Our findings suggest those with high perceived skill will experience deep, immersive flow which motivates players to keep playing.
A paracetamolterápia és az idült májbetegség tragikus következményei

Absztrakt:

Az őszi és téli meghűléses időszakban sokan vásárolnak különböző, vény nélkül
kapható, megfázás elleni készítményeket, ezen belül is nagy számban paracetamol-
(más néven acetaminofén-) tartalmú szereket. A paracetamol különböző típusú
fájdalmak (fejfájás, migrén, meghűlés-láz okozta fájdalom, fogfájás,
menstruációs fájdalom stb.) enyhítésére szolgáló, igen népszerű, a nemopioid
típusú analgetikumok közé sorolható hatóanyag, amely többek között tabletta, kúp
és oldat formájában is elérhető a gyógyszertárakban. Magyarországon 2020-ban 86,
törzskönyvezett paracetamoltartalmú készítmény van forgalomban. A paracetamol
alkalmazása biztonságos és hatékony, amennyiben az előírásnak megfelelően
használják. Közleményünkben három olyan esetet mutatunk be, amelyben a beteg
halála összefüggésbe hozható a paracetamol alkalmazásával. Mindhárom, krónikus
alkoholizmusban szenvedő beteg (34, 42 és 51 évesek) rövid idővel a kórházba
kerülés után elhunyt. Vizsgálataink során három betegből származó, összesen
kilenc szérumminta került feldolgozásra. A paracetamolnak és metabolitjainak
együttes meghatározása enzimatikus módszerrel (Roche assay) történt, míg a
paracetamol specifikus mérésére tandem-tömegspektrométerrel kapcsolt
szuperkritikus folyadékkromatográfot (SFC–MS/MS) alkalmaztunk. Enzimatikus
meghatározással mindegyik mintában terápiás koncentrációt mutattunk ki.
SFC–MS/MS módszerrel történt meghatározás esetén egy betegtől származó négy
mintában a terápiás tartománynál alacsonyabb paracetamolkoncentrációkat mértünk.
A paracetamolterápia alkalmazása krónikus alkoholizmusban szenvedő betegek
esetén fokozott kockázatot jelent. A klinikai toxikológiai gyakorlatban a
paracetamol meghatározására használt enzimatikus módszer eredményét a máj- és
vesefunkciós paraméterekkel együttesen szükséges értékelni, mert krónikus
alkoholizmusban szenvedő betegek esetén az enzimatikus módszerrel kapott
terápiás tartományba eső koncentráció nem zárja ki a paracetamoltoxicitást. Orv

Vertical Ridge Augmentation With a Honeycomb Structure Titanium Membrane: A Technical Note for a 3-Dimensional Curvature Bending Method
Authors: Ishikawa Tomohiro , Ueno Daisuke
Published: October 2020

Guided bone regeneration is the most commonly used technique for vertical ridge augmentation (VRA), and it is popular because it is less invasive and highly formative. Since the augmented site is exposed to external pressure, it is preferable to support the membrane using a framework to maintain the shape of the VRA. Recently, a titanium framework–reinforced ultrafine titanium membrane was developed by laser processing technology. The technique allows microperforations to be made (φ20 μm) into a titanium membrane, which is expected to prevent fibrous tissue ingrowth from outside the membrane. In addition, significant bone regeneration was confirmed on ridge defects in previous animal studies. However, the membrane tends to crumple during the bending process, because it is very thin (20 nμm); thus, the bending procedures are technically sensitive. Since this titanium honeycomb membrane was first approved for clinical use in Japan, no international clinical reports have been published. The purpose of this case report is to describe a technical note for a 3-dimensional curvature bending method in VRA using the newly developed honeycomb structure titanium membrane.

Authors: Islam A B M Shafiqul , Hasan Mehedi
Published: October 2020

Using mobile technology in English learning and teaching has been on the rise all over the world over the past few decades and hence, has received considerable attention and importance from academics in recent years. As a result, several experimental studies have been carried out about the use and effectiveness of mobile phones in the teaching/learning process. However, there have been only a few studies on mobile-assisted listening comprehension. This study aims to explore whether Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is effective in teaching/learning listening skills to the students of university-level English language programs and could better enhance students’ listening ability. It also endeavors to assess why some MALL strategies/techniques are more effective than others. This study uses a qualitative research method. It exclusively uses the relevant secondary materials available on the broader topic- the use and efficacy of mobile phones in teaching/learning listening skills. The results indicated that the MALL is meaningfully efficacious in teaching/learning ESL/EFL listening skills. Therefore, using appropriate strategies could positively contribute to bringing about better learning. Besides outlining a brief overview of MALL, the study also recommends some practical and useful stratagems that ESL/EFL educators can use while designing MALL listening tasks/activities.
Elite Military Belts of the 8th – 9th Centuries from the Stavropol State Museum Reserve Funds
Authors: Prokopenko Yury , Kravtsova Svetlana
Published: October 2020

Introduction. The article is devoted to the typological and chronological analysis of the details of three prestigious belt sets stored in the funds of the G.N. Prozritelev and G.K. Prave Stavropol State History, Culture and Natural Landscape Reserve Museum.

Methods and materials. The comparative typological method is used as a working one. It is based on the classification by material, processing method, shape, ornament, as well as on the selection and study of the types of buckles and waist plaques. The comparative analysis of the decor of belt parts from the Stavropol Museum and the like found in the Don region, Prikamye and on the territory of Hungary allows us to characterize the technology for producing a belt headset in the region in the 8th – 9th centuries.

Analysis. The composition of the belt headset of the first belt found in a rich burial in Sadovoye, Arzgirsky District, Stavropol Krai, includes an iron buckle with an oval-triangular frame and a rectangular shield with a zavovanny edge, a belt tip, a clip, and a buckle. Every item is inlaid with thin gold plates. On the flap buckle and clip they are laid out in the form of a spiral. On every detail of the girdle, the gold foil is decorated with floral ornaments: five-beam rosettes, heraldic lilies (they even adorn the buckle frame), shoots with buds and leaves. Belt no. 2 found in 1969 in the rich burial 2 of Eshkakon burial ground no. 3, most likely, consisted of a belt and harness belts. The girdle set includes 10 heart-shaped patches (plaques), 4 elongated pads with rectangular slots, 9 round-triangular plaques with suspended movable rings (three rings are missing) and an oval-triangular buckle (rectangular shield is lost). Every listed item is made of white metal (silver). A floral ornament consisting of shamrocks (lotuses) is applied on the front side of all the buckles. Belt no. 3, which is also found in one of the Eshkakon burial grounds, consists of a buckle with a triangular frame and a pentagonal shield and 10 plaques of rounded triangular shape with suspended movable rings. Every item is made of bronze.

Results. The rich funerary inventory of the burials in which the belts were found and their comparison with complexes that include a similar belt headset from other regions, indicate that all three belts from the Stavropol State Museum-Reserve are attributes of the military aristocracy of the second half of the 8th – 9th centuries. Chronologically, belt no. 1 is the earliest. Belt no. 2 should be considered close in time. The latest is belt no. 3.
Morphological Patterns of the Early Mediaeval Population of the Eastern Aral Region (Based on the Materials of Altyn-Asar Burial Sites)
Authors: Mednikova Maria , Tarasova Anna , Chechyotkina Olga
Published: October 2020

Introduction. Morphological studies of ancient peoples are associated with traditions of physical anthropology classifying data of similarity and differences of appearance of humans in the past. The use of standard measurement techniques contributed to the accumulation of a data array that allows drawing conclusions about the origin and environment of paleopopulations even with a small number and preservation of skeletal material. Archaeological sites of the Jetyasar culture were investigated in the 80s of the 21st century by the Khwarism Expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the low basin of the Syr Darya river. The culture originated as a result of contacts of oasis agriculturists and steppe cattle-breeders in the northern part of the Great Silk Road. The majority of material is associated with the period from the first centuries AD till the 8th century, when local population left places due to increased aridity. According to archaeological data, during the 4 th – 7th centuries part of the inhabitants of the region had migrant origin and/or participated in the Great Migration to the west. The goal of the study is to evaluate the morphological diversity of the Jetyasar people during the mediaeval time.

Methods and Materials. The skeletal series from Altyn-Asar 4a-t, Tompakasar, Kosasar burial sites totally represents remains of 600 individuals of different chronology. Comparative data from Southern Siberia, Middle Asia, North Caucasus and Central Europe helps to study the differentiation of the mediaeval population by basic parameters of the skeletal constitution reflected in the size and linear body proportions (method of canonic analysis).

Results and Conclusions. The paper reveals some trends which might indicate genetic relations of some Jetyasar groups and their possible participation in migrations. Morphological similarity of groups from Kosasar-2 and Altyn-Asar 4v burial sites with inhabitants of Mongolia and Tuva of the Hun-Sarmatian time has been detected. The patterns of physical development of people from Altyn-Asar 4m necropolis confirm the hypothesis of archaeologists about their migrant origin. However, the majority of other early and later groups have morphological analogies among the earlier or synchronous population of Middle Asia (Altyn-Asar 4b, l, d, r, g, Tompakasar). Part of the population demonstrates peculiar morphological similarity with the Avars of Central Europe (Altyn-Asar 4k, t, o).

Additionally, intra-and inter-rater reliability analysis was conducted using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman plot. Results were considered significant at p<0.05. Results: the HOME FAST-Brazil was applied to 53 older people with a mean age of 71(5) years; 79% (42) of whom were female and 21% (11) of whom were male. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process resulted in similar versions among translations. The correlation of the total score of HOME FAST-Brazil with the BBS was ρ=-0.241, p=0.041. The reliability rate was ICC=0.99 and 0.92 (intra-and inter-rater, respectively). Conclusion: The HOME FAST-Brazil, translated and cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese, was shown to have construct validity and excellent intra-and inter-rater reliability.
Examining the Role of Relative Age on Leadership Behaviours among Female Ice Hockey Players: An Exploratory Investigation
Authors: Chittle Laura , Horton Sean , Dixon Jess C.
Published: October 2020

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of relative age on self-reported leadership behaviors among competitive female ice hockey players. Secondary purposes included examining whether a relative age effect (RAE) was present within the sample and if leadership behaviors differed according to leader status (i.e., formal versus informal leaders). Canadian female ice hockey players (ages 15-18 years) completed an online survey that contained the Leadership Scale for Sport along with additional demographic questions. Players were segmented into birth quartiles based upon Hockey Canada’s selection date and classified by leadership status. The MANOVA suggested that the frequency of leadership behaviors displayed by these athletes did not differ across birth quartiles. Furthermore, although there was a RAE trend within this sample of competitive female ice hockey players, the differences relative to population distributions were not statistically significant. Finally, formal leaders (i.e., captains/alternate captains) reported higher levels of social support, positive feedback, democratic behavior, and training and instruction than informal leaders. It appears that relative age is not a discriminating factor with respect to leadership behaviors. Competitive female ice hockey may be an avenue for all players, regardless of their date of birth, to develop and demonstrate leadership.
Topónimos menores alusivos a la propiedad concejil en Gata
Authors: Gil Jacinto Francisco Javier
Published: October 2020

En este artículo se analiza un grupo de topónimos menores de Gata (Cáceres) que deben su origen al carácter concejil de los terrenos a los que nombraban en el momento de ser creados, principalmente, a lo largo de los siglos XV y XVI, que es cuando la villa empezó a cobrar cierta importancia con respecto a otras de la Orden Militar de Alcántara. A partir de su creación, el mantenimiento y la extinción de estos onomásticos de lugar han estado sujetos a condicionantes tanto de índole lingüística como de otro tipo.

Tradición jesuita en la Elucidata grammatica de Vargas
Authors: Harto Trujillo María Luisa
Published: October 2020

En 1711 Juan García de Vargas, prefecto y profesor de gramática y de retórica latinas en el Colegio Imperial de los jesuitas en Madrid, publica una gramática latina titulada Elucidata Grammatica Latina ad strictam Artem redacta. Con ella Vargas pretende completar y desarrollar las de los Padres Juan Luis de la Cerda y Álvarez y, sobre todo, mantener los métodos propios de esas gramáticas jesuitas, rechazando los nuevos aires racionales que dominaban ya la gramática en Europa tras el éxito allí de la Minerva sanctiana.

Una lectura histórica de «The Scarlet House» de Angela Carter
Authors: Álvarez Castaño Emilio José
Published: October 2020

La obra de Angela Carter ha sido estudiada habitualmente desde puntos de vista feministas y desde aspectos postmodernistas como la reescritura de cuentos de hadas. Sin negar este hecho, el presente artículo quiere destacar la importancia de la Historia en la obra de Carter centrándose en el análisis de su relato «The Scarlet House». Las ideas que tenía Carter sobre la Historia, enmarcadas muchas de ellas en la postmodernidad, pueden encontrar acomodo en diferentes teorías dentro de la filosofía de la Historia, lo que permitiría una interpretación en clave histórica de esta narración, un hecho que la propia Carter admite al aceptar la multiplicidad de lecturas en una obra literaria.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF RAIL FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION ALONG THE TRANSPORT CORRIDORS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Authors: Kuzmin P. S.
Published: October 2020

The greatest prospects associated with transnational rail freight are determined by the use of containers. In Russian publications, the development of containerized cargo transportation is mainly considered by analyzing the general laws of functioning of international transport corridors. At the same time, aspects affecting infrastructure diagnostics and analysis of the throughput capacity of sections of the railway network are not considered.

The purpose of the study was to identify the characteristics of freight flows in the direction of the EU—EAEU—PRC, to identify infrastructure barriers that slow down the acceleration and increase in the volume of container railway freight transportation, as well as to develop a set of measures aimed at improving the competitiveness of container railway freight transportation along the transport corridors of the Russian Federation.

In the course of the study, infrastructural diagnostics was carried out, which revealed a number of barriers that did not allow realizing the growth potential of transit container cargo transportation.

To remove infrastructure barriers, it is necessary to implement a number of measures, the key of which are measures to increase the capacity of infrastructure at border crossings, increase the speed of trains along the railway networks of JSCo RZD, develop terminal and logistics centers that provide a wide range of services for consignors and consignees.

The development of container rail freight is a strategically important area for the Russian Federation. The well-coordinated work of Russian Railways with private investors and the state in the framework of expanding and modernizing the terminal infrastructure, as well as increasing intermodal interactions, is able to overcome the existing infrastructure barriers and ensure the growth of container transit in the required volumes.
DEVELOPMENT OF FORMS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY
Authors: Kulyasova E. V. , Trifonov P. V.
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the construction of a model of interaction of economic entities using the method of project work of participants in the system “enterprise/employer-University – state” on the technological platform of the meta-University in the conditions of digitalization of the economy, which allows to increase the synergy effect of the interaction of the main institutional participants.

In the context of the impact of digitalization processes on the transformation of behavioral models within the existing economic relations in the VUCA world, new requirements and ways of interaction of subjects of the triple helix model are considered. The article analyzes the main existing and prospective forms of cooperation between universities and business structures. The detailed description of barriers and difficulties on the way of digitalization of enterprises and scientific organizations is given.

For employees of scientific and commercial enterprises in the conditions of digitalization and General increased uncertainty, recommendations are formulated for the choice of a behavior model that adapts their professional identity based on the principles of a proactive position and knowledge and skills at the intersection of different technological directions.

Under the conditions of variability and uncertainty of the environment, a scientific problem has been identified, there is a high interest in collaboration between universities and businesses, but there is no mechanism that allows this interaction to be carried out with a high degree of efficiency.

A set of mechanisms that help reduce the level of uncertainty is proposed, as well as a project method of interaction within the framework of the digital meta-University technology platform model is described.

The article provides recommendations for the full implementation of human capital in the new technological conditions of economic and social development, in the so-called VUCA-world, which is characterized by the lack of a developed digital infrastructure, as well as a high level of transaction costs.

A new approach is proposed, based on which participants will interact on the basis of shared access to information and digital resources and the ability to combine the development of innovative projects and training of personnel necessary to unite the University, enterprises and scientific organizations to reduce transaction, fixed and variable costs of participants in the process.
“We Are the Forgotten of the Forgottens”: The Effects of Charter School Reform on Public School Teachers
Authors: KITZMILLER ERIKA M.
Published: October 2020

In this article, Erika Kitzmiller analyzes the reactions of teachers to district officials’ decision to close their traditionally managed public school and reopen it as a privately managed charter school. While many scholars have examined the impact of this reform on communities, families, and youth, little attention has been paid to the effects of charter school reform on the public school teachers who worked in these schools. Here Kitzmiller considers one of the key but largely overlooked stakeholders in charter school reform: public school teachers.

Published: October 2020

Background: Some of the patients that undergo inguinal hernia repair develop testicular atrophy. Testicular atrophy development also brings about a lot of problems. In our study, we aimed to determine the rate of development of testicular atrophy and predicting factors in patients that undergo inguinal hernia repair in our hospital.Methods: Patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair in our centre from January 2017 to January 2020 were included in our study. Total number of patients was 158 divided into 2 groups i.e. group-1 (those who developed testicular atrophy after inguinal hernia repair) and group-2 (those who did not develop testicular atrophy after inguinal hernia repair). We investigated the relationship between the development of testicular atrophy and age, hernia type and localization, duration of surgery and anesthesia, perioperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and antispasmolytic use, diabetes mellitus and rheumatological disease and, perioperative fluid replacement.Results: Testicular atrophy developed in 6 of the patients (3.79%). We found that testicular atrophy was mostly secondary and mostly visible in cases underwent open repair (p=0.0001); and in which left and bilateral inguinal hernia repair was performed (p=0.014); and in cases with DM and rheumatological diseases (p=0.0001). We also found that the use of perioperative antispasmolytic and NSAID was lower in patients with testicular atrophy (p=0.0001).Conclusions: According to the results of our study, advanced age, secondary and open repair, diabetes mellitus, rheumatological disease history, not using antispasmolytic and NSAID increases the risk of testicular atrophy.
