Piloting an Innovative Concept of e–Mental Health and mHealth Workshops With Medical Students Using a Participatory Co-design Approach and App Prototyping: Case Study (Preprint)
Authors: Dederichs Melina , Nitsch Felix Jan , Apolinário-Hagen Jennifer
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Medical students show low levels of e–mental health literacy. Moreover, there is a high prevalence of common mental illnesses among medical students. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can be used to maintain and promote medical students’ well-being. To date, the potential of mHealth apps for promoting mental health among medical students is largely untapped because they seem to lack familiarity with mHealth. In addition, little is known about medical students’ preferences regarding mHealth apps for mental health promotion. There is a need for guidance on how to promote competence-based learning on mHealth apps in medical education.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this case study is to pilot an innovative concept for an educative workshop following a participatory co-design approach and to explore medical students’ preferences and ideas for mHealth apps through the design of a hypothetical prototype.

METHODS

We conducted a face-to-face co-design workshop within an elective subject with 26 participants enrolled at a medical school in Germany on 5 consecutive days in early March 2020. The aim of the workshop was to apply the knowledge acquired from the lessons on e–mental health and mHealth app development. Activities during the workshop included group work, plenary discussions, storyboarding, developing personas (prototypical users), and designing prototypes of mHealth apps. The workshop was documented in written and digitalized form with the students’ permission.

RESULTS

The participants’ feedback suggests that the co-design workshop was well-received. The medical students presented a variety of ideas for the design of mHealth apps. Among the common themes that all groups highlighted in their prototypes were personalization, data security, and the importance of scientific evaluation.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, this case study indicates the feasibility and acceptance of a participatory design workshop for medical students. The students made suggestions for improvements at future workshops (eg, use of free prototype software, shift to e-learning, and more time for group work). Our results can be (and have already been) used as a starting point for future co-design workshops to promote competence-based collaborative learning on digital health topics in medical education.
The Effectiveness of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension
(DASH) Mobile Applications in Supporting a Healthy Diet and
Controlling Hypertension in Adults: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Alnooh Ghadah , Alessa Tourkiah , Hawley Mark , de Witte Luc
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Uncontrolled hypertension is a public health issue, with increasing prevalence worldwide.
The Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is one of the most effective
dietary approaches for lowering blood pressure (BP). Dietary mobile applications (apps)
have gained popularity and are being used to support DASH diet self-management, aiming
to improve DASH diet adherence and thus lower BP

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of smartphone apps that support
self-management to improve DASH diet adherence and, consequently, reduce BP. A
secondary aim was to assess user engagement, satisfaction and acceptance, and usability
related to DASH mobile app use.

METHODS

EMBASE (OVID), Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google
Scholar electronic databases were used to conduct systematic searches for studies
conducted between 2008 and 2021 that used DASH smartphone apps to support self-management. The included articles’ reference lists were also checked.

RESULTS

Five studies (three RCTs and two pre-post studies) including 334 participants altogether
examined DASH mobile apps. All studies found a positive trend related to the use of DASH
smartphone apps, but the three RCTs had a high risk of bias. One pre-post study had a high
risk of bias, the other had a low risk. As a consequence, no firm conclusions can be drawn
regarding DASH smartphone apps’ effectiveness in increasing DASH diet adherence and
lowering blood pressure. All the apps appeared to be accepted and easy to use.

CONCLUSIONS

There is weak emerging evidence of a positive effect of using DASH smartphone apps
supporting self-management to improve DASH diet adherence and, consequently, lower
BP. Further research is needed to provide high-quality evidence that can determine the
effectiveness of DASH smartphone apps.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

The emergence of digital technologies over the past decade has presented a novel opportunity to address healthcare challenges associated with COVID-19 and accelerate progress towards achieving the health-related goals under the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have played a vital role in scaling up digital health solutions and disseminating curated scientific information in the face of the infodemic. However, several challenges remain around the effectiveness of PPP-related digital solutions and antagonistic viewpoints of engaging the private sector. We sought to evaluate the role of public-private partnerships in the digital public health space during COVID-19 and identify key lessons learned and challenges in the uptake of digital health solutions globally.

OBJECTIVE

Electronic and grey literature search results from PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar were screened by one reviewer through a two-stage process. We included all relevant systematic reviews, interventional, observational, and descriptive studies published in English published from January 2020 to June 2021. Two case study analyses on digital health chatbots, informed by expert opinion, were also performed to assess for the role of public-private partnerships in advancing digital public health solutions.

METHODS

Electronic and grey literature search results from PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar were screened by one reviewer through a two-stage process. We included all relevant systematic reviews, interventional, observational, and descriptive studies published in English published from January 2020 to June 2021. Two case study analyses on digital health chatbots, informed by expert opinion, were also performed to assess for the role of public-private partnerships in advancing digital public health solutions.

RESULTS

Forty-five articles met the inclusion criteria for qualitative analysis, the majority of which were secondary research. Results of the publications can be broadly categorized into three groups: (1) models and definitions of public-private partnerships used in the healthcare space; (2) purposes of and motivations of public-private partnerships in global public health; and (3) and facilitators, barriers, and challenges to date.

CONCLUSIONS

The literature review as well as the case studies analysis reveal that PPPs can represent a valid option for tackling global healthcare issues with a digital health approach. Further research is needed to complement the initial findings of the present paper, as well as to assess a wider pool of case studies and the different features that they might present.

Published: January 2022

Objectives: The fastidious development of the COVID-19 vaccine is a vital achievement for the country and early data suggest that it is both safe and efficacious, however, the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine is still a major concern as it depends on the individual decision and sociodemographic characteristics. The main objective of our study is to assess the vaccine acceptance among Indians and study about post-vaccination symptoms to identify potential concerns to be addressed to ensure vaccine safety.
Methods: An online cross-sectional study was conducted using Google Forms over a period of 1 week on the general population. Data were collected which included the questions regarding participant demographics, vaccination details, and their health status. Microsoft Excel was used for recording and analyzing the collected data.
Results: Out of 1016 respondents, 52% were male and 47.6% were female. Most of the respondents perfectly accept the vaccine, 35.5% are neutral and 5.9% are unacceptable toward vaccination. Post the vaccination of both doses, the occurrence of fever and chills is more common in the case of the first dose, whereas rashes are more common in the second dose, muscle pain and joint pain are common in both doses.
Conclusion: This community-based project on acceptance and post-vaccination symptoms of vaccination among Indians reveals that the majority of participants showed a positive acceptance rate toward the vaccination but most of them are worried about the risk of side effects. In regard to post-vaccination symptoms, mild fever and chills are the most common side effect in the case of the first dose of vaccination, whereas muscle/joint pain was seen commonly in both the first and second doses of vaccination.

Authors: SY NARSIMHULU , S HARI KUMAR
Published: January 2022

Objectives: The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of retrograde intramedullary interlocking supracondylar nailing and distal femoral locking compression plate in the management of distal femur fractures.
Methods: The present prospective study consists of a total of 36 cases with extra-articular supracondylar fractures of the femur between the age group of 21–70 years. Participants were randomly allocated to group 1 treated with distal femoral locking compression plate fixation and group 2 treated with retrograde intramedullary interlocking supracondylar nailing technique. Post-operatively, all the cases were followed up in regular intervals to assess the functional outcome using the American Knee Society score.
Results: Road traffic accidents (80.56%) were the most common cause of injury. The average surgical duration (108 min and 90.14 min), duration of fracture union (12.48 weeks and 11.08 weeks), and blood loss (339.8 ml and 236.6 ml) was better in the nailing group than the plating group, respectively. The overall outcome was comparable between the two study groups.
Conclusion: The supracondylar nailing technique has better functional outcomes in terms of less fracture union time, less operative duration, and minimal operative blood loss. Supracondylar nailing technique was effective and better in soft tissue damage control.

Published: January 2022

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to study the effect of Morus alba leaves extract (MAE) on sleep by phenobarbitone-induced sleeping time and the antianxiety effect by elevated plus maze apparatus model in rats.
Methods: In this study, the effect of MAE on sleep was evaluated by the phenobarbitone-induced sleeping time of rats. The onset and the duration of sleep were recorded in minutes. The antianxiety effect was evaluated by the elevated plus maze apparatus model in rats. During 5 min test period, the number of entries into the open arm and closed arm and time spent in the open arm and closed arm were recorded in seconds.
Results: MAE at the dose 200 and 400 mg/kg, highly significantly (p<0.001) decreased the onset of phenobarbitone-induced sleeping time. The duration of sleeping time was increased significantly (p<0.01) for 200 mg/kg and highly significantly (p<0.001) for 400 mg/kg as compared to the control group. M. alba has significant antianxiety activity in comparison with control in a dose-dependent manner. M. alba in a dose of 200 mg showed significant (p<0.01) and 400 mg/kg treated groups showed highly significant (p<0.001) anxiolytic activity by increasing the mean time spent in open arms as compared to control but less significant with standard (diazepam).
Conclusion: Results indicate that the MAE has a significant dose-dependent effect on phenobarbitone- induced sleeping time and antianxiety effect in the elevated plus maze test.
RHETORICAL ANALYSIS AT THE SERVICE OF BUSINESS COMMUNICATION: GENDER-BASED DIFFERENCES IN STUDENTS' PERCEPTION OF THE SPEAKER
Authors: Biočina Zdravka , Rajh Ivanka
Published: January 2022

The paper points out the benefits of rhetorical analysis and rhetorical criticism in developing business communication skills. At Zagreb School of Economics and Management, both the American and the European approach to business communication have been combined, with LSP courses taught in the first year and business communication and rhetoric courses taught in the second year. An experiment was conducted on a sample of 99 students, including 57 female and 42 male participants, who were asked to assess the teenage activist Greta Thunberg and her speech at the UN Climate Action Summit in 2019. The research focused on the role of the gender in perception of quality, attractiveness of the speech, the use of ethos, pathos and logos, persuasiveness and the influence potential. The results showed that male students gave lower grades to Greta and her speech, unlike the female students, who would also be more willing to change their behavior as the result of listening to Greta’s speech. Nevertheless, these differences were statistically significant only for a limited number of questions. The potential gender bias to speakers should be addressed in the rhetoric and business communication course design. Exposing students to a diverse set of speakers increases their critical thinking skills, ensuring higher objectivity and bias-free assessment of speakers including their peers.

Published: January 2022

Pandemic was a serious test for higher education institutions, as key institutions of higher education, that showed the extent to which professors and students have adopted and used all the advantages of new technology in teaching. This is exactly what this research aims for; assessment and comparison of the performance of students who attended traditional classes before the pandemic, and online and combined during the pandemic. In addition to success, this research will show whether the way of teaching affects the presence and activity of students. Data were collected from traditional classes (March - July 2019), online classes (March - July 2020) and combined classes (March - July 2021). The main research question in this study is whether there was a difference in the success of students who attended classes in the traditional way, online or by combining these two models. To obtain the results, a t-test of independent samples was performed with the calculation of the mean and standard deviation. This relevant research shows which approaches and methods of teaching English for students gives the best results, given the specifics of its implementation and the need for interactivity during teaching.
ENGLISH FOR OTHER LANGUAGES: A NEEDS ANALYSIS OF FUTURE POLYGLOTS AT A FRENCH UNIVERSITY
Authors: Schug Daniel
Published: January 2022

This paper presents the results of a needs analysis of second year undergraduates, majoring in various foreign languages (except for English) at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales in Paris, France.  As part of their studies, students can take one semester of English during their second or third year.  While needs analyses are an integral part of ESP research, the needs of students in certain disciplines, particularly the Liberal Arts, are not often referenced.  Using questionnaires and interviews with current students, past students, and discipline instructors, this study attempts to partially fill that gap.  Results show that while current students mostly use oral and written comprehension skills presently, they feel expression skills will become important in the future.  Responses from former students and discipline instructors seem to support these results, with some key distinctions.  Implications for teaching and future research are discussed.
CITATION PRACTICES IN RESEARCH ARTICLES IN INDONESIA-BASED JOURNALS AND INTERNATIONAL JOURNALS Udi Samanhudi, Aisling O’Boyle
Authors: Samanhudi Udi , O'Boyle Aisling
Published: January 2022

This paper examines the similarities and differences in the use of rhetorical citations in research articles in two journal publication contexts in the field of Applied Linguistics, namely Indonesian Journals aimed at a local audience, and International Journals aimed at a global audience. Fifty Discussion Sections from published research articles were taken from the two publication contexts.  Results of the analysis indicate a dominant use of integral citations especially verb-controlling type in the Indonesian local corpus. It is suggested that this citation type requires less demand on synthesising various sources cited while Discussion Sections in the International corpus make greater use of non-integral citations which indicates a succinct synthesis of various sources. In terms of function, referring to literature is the most salient function in Indonesian local corpus while attribution is the most dominant function found in the International corpus. Accompanying the textual analysis of citation practices in these journals, Indonesian academics as part of the community of the discipline were interviewed. Their perspectives indicate urgency for results of genre analysis studies to be transformed into teaching materials to assist especially novice writers in the field of Applied Linguistics in understanding English research article writing conventions better.
A Survey on Malware detection using ML
Authors: Ahire Prof. Pritam
Published: January 2022

Abstract: This Malware detection is a field of computer security that deals with the study and prevention of malicious software. It is not the only way to defend a company against a cyber- attack. In order to be effective, companies should analyse their risk and identify the vulnerabilities. In this paper, we will examine different techniques used to detect computer malware and malicious websites as well as future directives in this area of study and also, we will discuss the growth in computer malware and how traditional methods of detection are being replaced by innovative techniques like behavioural-based model and Signature-based model. Future directives involve developing better security products in order to fight against cyber fraud which is on a rise in recent years especially in Asia Pacific region. With this increase in cyber frauds and other malicious activities, traditional methods are not enough to block computers from it as this method has many drawbacks. In order to tackle these issues, researchers have been developing new techniques such as heuristic analysis, static & dynamic analysis which can detect more than 90% of malware samples without any false positives or negatives. Keywords: Behaviour-based approach, Dynamic analysis, Heuristic, Malware, Ransomware, Signature-based model, Static analysis, Vulnerability.
Saint Nicholas Church in the pomor settlement of Maloshuyka — the oldest tent roof temple of the octagon-on-quadrangle type. History and architecture
Authors: Bode Andrey B. , Zhigaltsova Tatiana V.
Published: January 2022

Introduction. The Saint Nicholas Church in Maloshuyka, dated 1638, is notable for being one of the earliest known examples of a widely spread type of wooden temple. Despite its historical and cultural significance, this object remains largely unstudied. To better understand the development of Russian wooden church construction and set up a typology, it is necessary to consider the Saint Nicholas Church in the context of all-Russian church building traditions of the 17th century. A monument of such significance needs to have its own place in the history of Russian wooden architecture.

Materials and methods. The study was based on historical archival documents and on-site survey results. We considered the monument together with the history of the settlement and the entire region. A joint historical and architectural approach was used to study the object. The object was compared with its equivalents via comparative typological analysis. In order to identify individual and typical features in the Saint Nicholas Church architecture, typologically similar objects were reviewed chronologically and geographically.

Results. New historical sources were introduced into the scientific discourse. Construction history and periodization of the Saint Nicholas Church were identified. We determined changes in appearance at each construction stages, and described architectural, artistic and stylistic descriptions of the object at each construction stage. The object was compared with similar objects, and characteristic features of this type of church at the early stages of its evolution were identified. They were expressed in general dimensions, proportions, and decorative finish. Regional typical features and all-Russian features were singled out. The place of the object in the Russian history of wooden architecture was defined.

Conclusions. The Saint Nicholas Church is a unique monument of Russian wooden architecture. Being the oldest tent roof wooden temple of octagon-on-quadrangle type, this object reflects the earliest development stages of this architectural type. The Saint Nicholas Church has certain local architectural features, but it generally conforms to the all-Russian architectural traditions of the 17h century.
Using the criterion of resistibility to assess of a structural limit state
Authors: Perelmuter Anatoly V.
Published: January 2022

Introduction. Subject of research: behaviour characteristics of an arbitrary structure under the loads that approach the limit load value. Goals: development of an objective and sufficiently universal methodology for the identification of the bearing capacity of a structure, which could allow to stop using any subjective assessments of their limit bearing capacity.

Materials and methods. Behaviour characteristics are assessed by analyzing a curve of equilibrium states. The curve is constructed using the characteristic displacement, understood as the generalized displacement q, which energetically matches applied generalized force λ in the sense that the product of λdq is the growth of work performed by generalized force λ in respect of the growth of displacement dq.

Results. The article shows that the system’s response, no matter what fixed conditions it is in, is not always sufficient for the assessment of the reliability of the system in case of the variable interaction with the environment. The co-authors use the V.V. Katyushin concept about supplementing the notion of the limit state with the characteristics of the system’s beha­viour determined by the velocity of a change in the system’s response caused by the change in the external action. According to the co-authors’ suggestion, the meter should represent the reduction in the slope of the curve of equilibrium states, which characterizes the loss of resistibility and, consequently, it can be used to assess the closeness of the structure to the state of failure, which arises if the resistibility of the system is equal to zero. The suggestion is to use the value of the slope of the curve of equilibrium states as the limit state, when the resistibility has reduced, and the velocity of deformation intensification has gone up 100 times if compared with the behaviour of an unloaded system. This suggestion is illustrated by the case of the analysis of a reinforced concrete diaphragm of a building.

Conclusions. The proposed calculation methodology can be applied in the design of loadbearing structural elements, whose finite-element computational model has components that are different from the rod ones.

The article describes a new association of meso-xerophylous forests in the South of the European part of Russia Poo nemoralis–Quercetum roboris ass. nov. hoc loco, its differentiation from analogous syntaxa is discussed, and new data on the distribution of communities of the alliance Scutellario altissimae–Quercion roboris Goncharenko et al. 2020 on the Russian Plain are done. Vegetation classification was carried out by J. Braun-Blanquet approach based on 470 relevés of forest vegetation, collected by the author in 2007–2021 in the northern and central parts of Rostov, Voronezh and Volgograd Regions. In addition, the analysis included 777 relevés from the phytocenary made by G. M. Zozulin in the same regions in 1960–1980s. Based on the studies carried out, the current area of the alliance can be expanded to the lower reaches of the Don River. For a more adequate reflection of the floristic, ecological and geographical features of its communities, it was proposed to change the composition of the diagnostic species of the alliance and it was recommended to amend the current definition of the order Quercetalia pubescenti-petraeae, expanding its area to Eastern Europe.

Authors: Tsvetkov V. A. , Krutikov E. S. , Chistyakova S. I.
Published: January 2022

Aim of the study: to develop personalized approaches to combined antihypertensive therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension, depending on the parameters of the daily blood pressure profile and heart rate variability.

Material and methods. We examined 322 patients with type 2 diabetes and arterial hypertension who had not previously received antihypertensive drugs on a regular basis. At the first stage, patients were prescribed Perindopril 10 mg per day and Indapamide retard 1,5 mg per day. In the absence of reaching target blood pressure (BP) levels after 28 days, a third antihypertensive drug was added — Amlodipine 5 mg per day, followed by titration to 10 mg 1 r per day (group I) or a b-blocker — Carvedilol at a dose of 12,5 mg 2 r per day, also followed by titration up to 25 mg 2 r per day (group II). Daily monitoring of BP and ECG was carried out, the average daily heart rate (HR), circadian index (CI), as well as heart rate variability were determined.

Results and its discussion. Patients with type 2 diabetes have a high variability of blood pressure throughout the day, high pulse blood pressure, as well as a rigid circadian profile of heart rate. The appointment of a standard two-component antihypertensive therapy, including Perindopril 10 mg and Indapamide retard 1,5 mg per day, allows reaching the target blood pressure only in 46% of patients. The addition of amlodipine or carvedilol significantly increases the effectiveness of therapy, allowing more than 80% of patients to achieve the target blood pressure. At the same time, the use of amlodipine leads to a greater extent to a decrease in pulse pressure, and the inclusion of carvedilol improves the circadian profile of blood pressure and heart rate, and has a positive effect on heart rate variability.

Justification of the development and application of express assessment programs for road bridges when heavy vehicles pass through them
Authors: Lugovtsev Evgeny A.
Published: January 2022

The theoretical prerequisites for justifying the development of two rapid assessment programs for road bridges to quickly determine the possibility of passing heavy vehicles on road bridge structures of a split and non-split system, made of wood, metal, steel-reinforced concrete, reinforced concrete with stressed and non-stressed reinforcement, according to the measured angle of rotation of their support sections, taking into account their actual operational condition, are presented. The programs implemented an experimental and analytical method for assessing the technical condition of road bridges for reliability. The features, conditions of application, positive and negative aspects of each version of the program are revealed. The creation of two variants of programs is due to, on the one hand, the need to ensure the safety of the driver of the vehicle and the bridge structure, and on the other hand, the need to guarantee the possibility of safe passage of heavy vehicles, both under the conditions of the load-bearing capacity of superstructures and the load-bearing capacity of road bridge supports, taking into account their actual operational condition. Both developed calculation programs were implemented by using a personal computer and certificates of state registration of computer programs were obtained. The developed programs will be used as part of the modernized IR-AM measuring complex.
