Published: September 2019

Background : Previously,we showed that serum malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly higher in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) than in those without AMD. The Diacron reactive oxygen metabolites(d-ROMs) andbiologicalantioxidant potential (BAP) tests are known markers ofoxidative stress. The aim of this study was to use d-ROMs and BAP tests to evaluate changes in systemic oxidative stressin patients with nAMD.
Methods : Blood serum samples were collected from 34 patients with nAMD (mean age: 76.5 ± 7.7 years; 22 men) and 20 control subjects (mean age: 62.9± 14.0 years; 10 men), and d-ROMs and BAP tests were examined.
Results : In men, the mean level of d-ROMs for the nAMD patients was significantly higher than that for the controls (312.0 ± 52.4 vs. 275.1 ± 45.5 U.CARR, respectively; P < .05). There was a significant correlation between d-ROM level and CNV lesion area in the male nAMD group (r =.42, P = .05). There were no significant differences in mean BAP test results between the nAMD patients and controls for either sex (men: 2241 ± 549 vs. 2136 ± 246 μmol/L; women: 2263 ± 292 vs. 2335 ± 161 μmol/L).
Conclusion : The d-ROMs test may provide a useful indicator of nAMD in men but not in women.
Analysis of Solar PV Energy Systems for Rural Villages of Nekemte Area, Oromiya Region, Ethiopia
Authors: Woldegiyorgis Tegenu Argaw
Published: September 2019

Currently, the main energy source used in rural areas of Ethiopia for cooking and heating is unprocessed biomass and fossil fuel such as kerosene, paraffin and petrol/diesel. These energy sources generate large volume of indoor air pollution that increases the risk of chronic diseases.  Solar energy is the most practical and economical way of bringing power to poor and remote communities in the long-term and Ethiopia is strategically located in a maximum sun shines hours zone. This study assessed the potential of a solar PV power system to provide the required electricity for a rural community near Nekemte city in Oromiya regions of Ethiopia. The sunshine hour’s data was obtained from the National Meteorological Service Agency (NMA). Results showed an abundant (average) solar energy potential of 5.52 KWh/m2/day. Electric load for a single household, school and clinic was estimated at 313, 2064 and 2040 Wh/day respectively. The cost of energy from solar PV system was estimated at about $1.2/kWh, $0.92/kWh and $0.87/KWh for household, school and clinic respectively. The findings encourage the use of the PV systems to electrify the remote sites of Ethiopia considering it long-term benefits and less cost of installation compared to national grid extension to the remote sites.
Overview of surface water hazards in China coalmines
Authors: Gui Herong , Hu Rongjie , Zhao Honghai , Li Jun , Song Xiaomei , Wang Meichen , Yu Hao , Fang Hongxia
Published: September 2019

Among all recorded water disasters in China coalmines, 10% can be attributed to surface water, making it one of the top water hazards. Based on the analysis of cases of surface water hazards in China coalmines, this article determined surface water sources and inrush conduits as the major factors that have caused water inrush disasters in mines, and classified surface water hazards in China coalmines into 15 types according to those major factors and gave definitions of each type of surface water hazard. Then, it is proposed that there are different types of surface water hazards in different coal-bearing regions by analyzing the relationship to terrain features, climatic impact and mining conditions. Finally, we discuss how typical water sources and inrush conduits work together in hazard formation, in addition to the characteristics and corresponding preventative technologies. The propositions can be of reference for exchanges with other mining countries and regions on surface water hazard treatment.
Estimating the impact of inhibitory substances on activated sludge denitrification process
Authors: Klein Kati , Tenno Taavo
Published: September 2019

Industrial wastewater frequently contains substances which inhibit activated sludge treatment processes. Inhibitory characteristics of different substances are usually evaluated based on testing the impact of respective substance on activated sludge nitrification or oxygen uptake rates. However, denitrification is always before aerobic processes in conventional activated sludge treatment plants and thereby more exposed to inhibitory compounds. There is no easily applicable and validated method available for determination of denitrification process efficiency and inhibition. In this study, a method for evaluation of inhibition on the activated sludge denitrification process was developed and validated using 3,5-dichlorophenol (3,5-DCP) as a model inhibitory compound and additionally controlled with real wastewater produced in the shale oil industry. Average IC50 value (5.5 ± 2.2 mg L−1) for 3,5-DCP showed that denitrifiers were less sensitive than nitrifiers (IC50 = 2.9 ± 0.7 mg L−1) and more sensitive than aerobic heterotrophs (IC50 = 7.2 ± 2.4 mg L−1). Methodological aspects like accumulation of nitrite nitrogen, acclimatization of biomass and technical issues were discussed. Achieved validation characteristics were similar with ISO Standards estimating activated sludge nitrification and oxygen uptake rates, which proves the reliability of the method: standard deviation, 95.4% confidence level, relative standard deviation were calculated to be 2.2 mg L−1, 1.2 … 9.8 mg L−1 and 39.2%, respectively.
Defining Symptom Concepts in Chronic Subjective Tinnitus: Web-Based Discussion Forum Study
Authors: Hibbert Alice , Vesala Markku , Kerr Micky , Fackrell Kathryn , Harrison Stephen , Smith Harriet , Hall Deborah Ann
Published: September 2019

Background

A minimum standard based upon consensus decision making recommends a core set of tinnitus-specific health complaints (outcome domains) that should be assessed and reported in all clinical trials as this enables comparisons to be made across studies as well as data pooling for meta-analysis.

Objective

This study aimed to further clarify how the outcome domain concepts should be defined for 5 of the core set: tinnitus intrusiveness, sense of control, acceptance of tinnitus, concentration, and ability to ignore. This step requires a clear and fully elaborated definition for each outcome domain, moving from an abstract or a vague concept to an operationalized and measurable health-related construct, so that a suitable measurement instrument can then be identified.

Methods

A series of 5 focus group–style semistructured discussions were conducted via a Web-based discussion forum, each open for 2 weeks and ending with a vote. The participants included 148 tinnitus experts who completed a preceding e-Delphi survey that had generated the original set of minimum standards. The participants were health care users living with tinnitus, health care professionals, clinical researchers, commercial representatives, and funders.

Results

The Web discussions led to a revision of all 5 original plain language definitions that had been used in the preceding e-Delphi survey. Each revised definition was voted by 8 to 53 participants and reached the prespecified threshold of 70% consensus for all except tinnitus intrusiveness. Although a single definition was not agreed upon for tinnitus intrusiveness, the majority of participants shared the view that the concept should be sufficiently broad to encapsulate a range of subdomains. The examples included tinnitus awareness, unpleasantness, and impact on different aspects of everyday life. Thematic analysis of the 5 Web-based discussion threads gave important insights into expert interpretations of each core outcome domain, generating an operationalized and measurable health construct in each case.

Conclusions

The qualitative data gathered during the Web-based discussion forum provided an important in-depth understanding of the health concepts that had raised a debate during earlier face-to-face meetings. The descriptive summaries and definitions provide sufficient operationalization of those concepts to proceed to the second stage of core outcome set development that is to identify and evaluate suitable measurement instruments. This study supports the use of Web-based peer discussion forums in defining health concepts.
The Florida Mobile Health Adherence Project for People Living With HIV (FL-mAPP): Longitudinal Assessment of Feasibility, Acceptability, and Clinical Outcomes
Authors: Escobar-Viera César , Zhou Zhi , Morano Jamie P , Lucero Robert , Lieb Spencer , McIntosh Sean , Clauson Kevin A , Cook Robert L
Published: September 2019

Background

For people living with HIV (PLWH), antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is crucial to attain better health outcomes. Although research has leveraged consumer health information technologies to enhance ART adherence, no study has evaluated feasibility and clinical outcomes associated with the usage of a commercially available, regularly updated mobile health (mHealth) app for improving ART adherence among PLWH.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and clinical outcomes of Care4Today, an existing, free, biprogrammatic mHealth app for improving ART adherence among PLWH.

Methods

The Florida mHealth Application Adherence Project (FL-mAPP) was a 90-day longitudinal pilot study conducted in 3 public HIV clinics in Florida, United States. After obtaining informed consent, 132 participants completed a survey and then were given the option to try an existing mHealth app to help with ART adherence. Of these, 33.3% (44/132) declined, 31.1% (41/132) agreed but never used the app, and 35.6% (47/132) used the app. All were asked to complete follow-up surveys at 30 days and 90 days after enrollment. Usage data were used to assess feasibility. Clinical outcomes of self-reported ART adherence and chart-obtained HIV viral load and CD4+ T-cell counts were compared among those who used the platform (users) versus those who did not (nonusers). Participants and HIV care providers also provided responses to open-ended questions about what they liked and did not like about the app; comments were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results

Of 132 participants, 47 (35.6%) and 85 (64.4%) were categorized as users and nonusers, respectively. Among users, a Kaplan-Meier plot showed that 25 persons (53%) continued using the app after the 90-day follow-up. At 30-day follow-up, 13 (81.3%) of those who used the mHealth app reported ≥95% ART adherence, compared with 17 (58.6%) nonusers (P=.12). Overall, 39 (82%) users liked or somewhat liked using the platform. Participants’ favorite features were medication reminders, ability to create custom reminders, and adherence reports.

Conclusions

This longitudinal study found that a commercially available medication adherence mHealth app was a feasible and acceptable intervention to improve ART adherence among PLWH and engaged in clinical care across 3 public HIV clinics in the state of Florida. Overall, participants liked the Care4Today app and thought the medication reminders were their favorite feature. Generally, self-reports of ART adherence were better among users than nonusers, both at 30- and 90-day follow-ups. Further clinical research needs to address user fatigue for improving app usage.
A Tablet App Supporting Self-Management for People With Dementia: Explorative Study of Adoption and Use Patterns
Authors: Øksnebjerg Laila , Woods Bob , Ruth Kathrine , Lauridsen Annette , Kristiansen Susanne , Holst Helle Dalsgaard , Waldemar Gunhild
Published: September 2019

Background

Assistive technology (AT) is rapidly emerging within dementia care and support. One area of AT application is support of people with dementia in compensating for cognitive symptoms and thereby promoting their self-management. There is, however, little evidence for the applicability, usability, and effectiveness of AT for people with dementia, and there is a need to identify factors that can promote adoption.

Objective

This study aimed to (1) evaluate the applicability and usability of an app, tailor-made for people with dementia; (2) explore factors affecting adoption; (3) explore the possible influence of caregiver involvement; and (4) contribute to process evaluation of the intervention.

Methods

The ReACT (Rehabilitation in Alzheimer's disease using Cognitive support Technology) app was designed as a holistic solution to support memory and structure in daily living. Persons with dementia had access to a personal user account, and family caregivers were given a parallel login. Written and Web-based materials were provided to support self-applied implementation. A mixed methods design was applied to explore adoption and use patterns, including background and disease-related data, qualitative data from a survey, and log data. Adoption was defined as the use of the app over a period of ≥90 days.

Results

Data from 112 participants and 98 caregivers were included. Shorter time from diagnosis (U=595; P=.046; r=0.19) and caregiver activating the app (P=.02) had a significant impact on the participant adoption status. Logistic regression analysis showed that if caregivers had activated the app, the participant was five times more likely to become an adopter (odds ratio 5.1, 95% CI 1.29-19.99; P=.02). However, the overall predictive power was low, and there was a wide variation in background and disease-related characteristics among adopters. The level of experience and skills in tablet use were not significantly different between adopters and nonadopters. Adopters generally rated the app high on usefulness, satisfaction, and ease of use (rated on the USEdem questionnaire). Their scores were significantly higher compared with nonadopters (U=5.5; P=.02; r=0.64). Analysis of use patterns showed that all functionalities of the app were used among adopters.

Conclusions

For participants who became adopters, the ReACT app and the methods for self-applied implementation were applicable. However, the results were also in accordance with the well-known challenges of nonadoption and nonadherence to digital health interventions. The study provided insight into the importance of timely introduction and caregiver support for adoption of AT among people with dementia. It also underlined the high complexity of personal and contextual factors that influence adoption. These complex factors need to be considered when designing and implementing AT for people with dementia.
A Parenting Behavior Intervention (the Strengthening Families Program) for Families: Noninferiority Trial of Different Program Delivery Methods
Authors: Kumpfer Karol Linda , Brown Jaynie Litster
Published: September 2019

Background

The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is an evidence-based parent training and youth life skills and drug prevention program traditionally delivered in group settings. Families attend parent and youth classes conducted by trained facilitators. Recently, a 2-disk home-use DVD series was created with the same SFP skills as the group classes for parents and the youth to watch together at home. Additional lesson material was added that included healthy brain development, school success, anger management, dangers of alcohol and drugs, and mindfulness. The SFP DVD reduces SFP delivery costs for agencies and logistic burdens to families. Creative applications of the DVD include holding SFP DVD family discussion groups of multiple families and using SFP DVD video clips as part of a shorter 10-week group class version for parents and the youth.

Objective

This study aimed to examine three different DVD implementation scenarios using a noninferiority trial, contrasting target outcomes with an age-matched sample culled from a national norm database of families who completed a standard SFP 14-week class.

Methods

The partial eta-square was used to compare effect sizes between the different delivery modalities for relevant programmatic outcomes. We adjusted the effect sizes by demographic measures to determine whether there were site-specific features influencing program outcomes.

Results

For the unadjusted effect size comparisons, 13 of the 15 indicated that the home-use DVD outperformed group norms with an average 0.13 effect size estimate difference across the comparisons (28% improvement in the effect size for DVD condition). Comparisons of the home-use DVD condition with the mixed DVD use conditions showed no discernable pattern where one condition consistently outperformed another. Adjusted effect sizes still reinforced the superiority of the DVD conditions; however, there was some shrinkage in the effect sizes as expected with the inclusion of relevant covariates.

Conclusions

The home-use DVD shows that it is possible to effectively deliver an affordable family-based intervention using alternative technology outside of the traditional group-based class format. In almost all of the comparisons, the DVD conditions outperformed the group norms, underscoring that low-cost DVDs or viewing the videos on the Web may provide a useful surrogate for costly group-based formats. Future studies may want to improve on the quasi-experimental design by examining programmatic differences based on delivery format using a randomized controlled trial, thus strengthening the causal framework regarding program effects. In addition, the assessment protocol relied on retrospective reporting, which, although this can limit response shift bias, does not separate data collection in time as with a true pre- and posttest design.

ENTRE A BALBÚRDIA E A BARBÁRIE DO SISTEMA CAPITAL: VAMOS À LUTA!
Authors: Rodrigues Maria Cristina Paulo , Tiriba Lia , Antunes José Luiz Cordeiro
Published: September 2019

Entre a última publicação da Revista Trabalho Necessário, em julho/2019 e a atual, também sobre Trabalho, movimentos sociais e educação, a conjuntura se complexificou no Brasil e no mundo. Fica claro a existência de dois grandes projetos societários: um projeto de acordo com os ditames do capital globalizado, do Deus Mercado, da competição e do individualismo, representado pela burguesia supranacional, tecido em um longo período histórico, que volta e meia, encontra-se em crise, pelas contradições por ele próprio gerado. Um sistema perverso e desumano, em que todos são tidos como mercadoria para alimentar a produção de bens materiais e imateriais, o consumo exacerbado e o lucro descomunal.

Citizen Health Science
Authors: Walls Theodore Adrien , Forkus Shannon , Coria Abbigayle
Published: September 2019

Psychology has a long tradition of interest and experience in single subject studies, providing a forerunner scientific platform for person-level trends as they contribute to population data science. Building on this long-standing tradition, population health scientists are increasingly concerned with opportunities to draw inferences about the single case, or studies utilizing an ‘N-of-1’. At the same time, citizen scientists with health interests have become more equipped to conduct their own types of N-of-1 studies given new tools such as smart phone tracking and many other mobile health or “mHealth” devices. These advances in the single case or N-of-1 tradition sometimes involve self-tracking of health data and/or self-experimentation with one’s own health. As networks (increasingly, virtual ones) of people work to maintain or improve their health, a new platform for scientific inquiry has emerged. This paper considers how the confluence of the single case tradition and self-experimentation are key ingredients in a new data science-rich platform, that of citizen health science.

Keywords: Citizen health science, single-case designs, single-subject studies, idiographic research, self-experimentation.
Friedreich ataxia: FXN gene expression and its relationship with DNA methylation pattern
Authors: Fedotova E.Yu. , Abramycheva N.Yu. , Nuzhny E.P. , Ershova M.V. , Klyushnikov S.A. , Illarioshkin S.N.
Published: September 2019

Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is the most common autosomal recessive ataxia associated with the non-coding GAA tandem repeats expansion in the FXN gene. Transcription impairment and frataxin protein deficiency are the key features of the disease pathogenesis. Our research was aimed to study the FXN gene mRNA expression as well as to carry out the clinical, genetic and epigenetic correlation analysis in a group of patients with homozygous expansion, in a group of their relatives with heterozygous expansion and in a control group. The FXN mRNA level was determined using the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Methylation pattern of CpG sites was evaluated by direct bisulfite sequencing. As a result of the study, the threshold values were obtained between the FRDA patients group, the group of heterozygous carriers and the control group (15 and 79%, respectively). The clinical and genetic features comparison with the FXN expression level revealed no significant correlation. When comparing gene expression with an epigenetic profile, it was found that hypermethylation of a number of CpG sites upstream of the trinucleotide repeats and some non-CpG sites downstream of the region of repeats inhibited expression. Thus, the identified methylated sites may be considered as a target for epigenome editing to increase the FXN transcription and, consequently, for target therapy of the disease.

Interseção cultura-educação: necessidade pedagógica
Authors: Alves Maria
Published: September 2019

Apresenta uma abordagem da interseção cultura-educação como parte de uma política pública que objetive o ensino produtivo e agradável, através de projetos levados a efeito no Rio de Janeiro, destacando-se a importância de se aliar a teoria à prática. Fala-se, em primeiro lugar, do projeto "Animação Cultural", realizada pela equipe do Prof. Darcy Ribeiro em dois momentos, ou seja, no início dos anos 80 e 90, atualmente "esquecido". Em seguida, analisa-se o projeto "CIEP da mangueira" – em processo de crescimento contínuo – , mediante depoimento extraído da palestra da diretoria do CIEP, Terezinha Labruna, gravada durante o XXXIII Fórum da Undime-RJ. Ambos os projetos exemplificam a importância da união da educação com a cultura – cultura aqui considerada em múltiplas visões. os outros dois projetos analisados, embora louváveis, têm características diferentes, pois o tipo de cultura por eles desenvolvida tende mais para o conceito tradicional de cultura erudita.

Uma análise comparativa da escrita de histórias pelos alunos de escolas públicas e particulares
Authors: Silva Maria , Spinillo Alina
Published: September 2019

A habilidade para escrever histórias foi comparada em crianças de baixa renda e de classe média alta, alunos de escolas pública e particular, respectivamente. As produções escritas foram classificadas em categorias baseadas na Gramática de História. Observou-se uma progressão na habilidade narrativa das crianças após a alfabetização, e que os anos escolares freqüentados após a alfabetização contribuem para este desenvolvimento. Entretanto, os ganhos observados entre as crianças de classe média-alta foram mais expressivos do que entre as de baixa renda. Tal diferença foi interpretada em função de fatores sociolingüísticos quanto ao contato e interação que crianças de classes sociais distintas têm com a linguagem dos textos no ambiente familiar.

Palavras-Chave: escrita de histórias; crianças; escola pública; escola particular.

Abstract

The ability to write stories was compared in two different groups of children with different social backgrounds. All the children were literate, and in each group they varied according to the years of schooling they had attended. The written productions were analysed according to the domain of story scheme, based on Story Grammars. It was found that the ability to write stories develops even after the acquisition of written skills and that the years of schooling is an important factor in this progression. Differences were observed between the two groups: middle class children benefited more from the years of schooling than low class children whose written productions showed a low level of narrative structure. This difference was interpreted in terms of different social experiences with texts at home.
