Effectiveness of Delivering Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Techniques by Email in Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder: Nonrandomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Alavi Nazanin , Stephenson Callum , Rivera Margo
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Borderline personality disorder is a debilitating and prevalent mental health disorder, with often inaccessible treatment options. Electronically delivered dialectical behavioral therapy could be an efficacious and more accessible intervention.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of electronic delivery of dialectical behavioral therapy in the treatment of individuals with symptoms of borderline personality disorder.

METHODS

Study participants diagnosed with borderline personality disorder were offered either an email-based or in-person group format dialectical behavioral therapy skill-building program. During each session, participants were provided with both the material and feedback regarding their previous week’s homework. Electronically delivered dialectical behavioral therapy protocol and content were designed to mirror in-person content. Participants were assessed using the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS).

RESULTS

There were significant increases in SAQ scores from pre- to posttreatment in the electronic delivery group (F1,92=69.32, P<.001) and in-person group (F1,92=60.97, P<.001). There were no significant differences observed between the groups at pre- and posttreatment for SAQ scores (F1,92=.05, P=.83). There were significant decreases in DERS scores observed between pre- and posttreatment in the electronic delivery group (F1,91=30.15, P<.001) and the in-person group (F1,91=58.18, P<.001). There were no significant differences observed between the groups for DERS scores pre- and posttreatment (F1,91=.24, P=.63). There was no significant difference in treatment efficacy observed between the 2 treatment arms (P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Despite the proven efficacy of in-person dialectical behavioral therapy in the treatment of borderline personality disorder, there are barriers to receiving this treatment. With the prevalence of internet access continuing to rise globally, delivering dialectical behavioral therapy with email may provide a more accessible alternative to treatment for individuals with borderline personality disorder without sacrificing the quality of care.

Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Prediction of mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is key to improving the clinical outcomes, considering that the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the collapse of healthcare systems in many regions worldwide.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to identify the factors associated with COVID-19 mortality and to develop a nomogram for predicting mortality using clinical parameters and underlying diseases.

METHODS

This study was performed in 5,626 patients with confirmed COVID-19 between February 1 and April 30, 2020 in South Korea. A Cox proportional hazards model and logistic regression model were used to construct a nomogram for predicting 30-day and 60-day survival probabilities and overall mortality, respectively in the train set. Calibration and discrimination were performed to validate the nomograms in the test set.

RESULTS

Age ≥70 years; male; presence of fever and dyspnea at the time of COVID-19 diagnosis; and diabetes mellitus, cancer, or dementia as underling diseases were significantly related to 30-day and 60-day survival and mortality in COVID-19 patients. The areas under the curve (AUCs) for 30-day and 60-day survival was 0.914 and 0.954, respectively (C-index, 0.906; 95% CI, 0.883-0.929); the AUC for mortality of 0.926. The nomogram showed good calibration for survival probabilities and mortality. The online calculators can be found at https://koreastat.shinyapps.io/RiskofCOVID19/.

CONCLUSIONS

The prediction model could accurately predict COVID-19-related mortality; thus, it would be helpful for identifying the risk of mortality and establishing medical policies during the pandemic to improve the clinical outcomes.

Lithic resources as a proxy for the social use of territory among hunter-gatherers of Central Chile
Authors: Cornejo Bustamante Luis Eduardo , Cornejos Patricio Galarce , Villanueva Miguel Saavedra , Riquelme Lorena Sanhueza
Published: January 2021

This paper presents the results of a study of the composition of lithic raw materials from the contexts of archaeological sites of hunter-gatherers of Central Chile (latitudes 33° to 34.5° S) between 5000 to 1000 years BP. This territory is characterized by a wide distribution of certain coarse and medium-grained lithic raw materials (andesite, basalt and granite), preferably used in low formatted tools, and the specific location of those of fine grain (obsidian and siliceous rocks), suitable for bifacial reduction, only in some localities. In this analysis, 22 sites have been included, each of which presents different proportions of these raw materials in their context, a set that, when analysed in terms of the diversity of each case, generated clear spatial groupings which were ratified by means of a principle component analysis. These groupings of sites are located in direct association with the lithic landscape of different localities within the region, although we propose that the simple cost-benefit explanation would not account for their formation. According to the authors, these groups would be marked by behaviours that can only result from social restrictions on access to certain sources of these raw materials, especially considering that the distances between their location and the position of the different sources in several cases is not too large to be considered a factor in itself. These restrictions could be interpreted as the existence of socially different groups within the study area, a question that is compared with ethnographic data currently available on the size of the territories of different groups of hunter-gatherers and their annual mobility ranges.

Las condiciones metafísicas, gnoseológicas y materiales del ego Cartesiano
Authors: Vargas C Ronulfo
Published: January 2021

Se presenta una serie de consideraciones acerca de las fuentes de la filosofía cartesiana del sujeto, que para el filósofo es una res cogitans pura, es decir, pensamiento sin materialidad ni condiciones empíricas determinantes de su entidad. Esta es la concepción que se critica. Se intenta llamar la atención sobre los factores sociohistóricos que llevan a Descartes a la elaboración de una gnoseología metafísica en la que desaparece el individuo concreto y su historia; bajo estas condiciones, la determinación conceptual de los objetos no puede conllevar la certeza, claridad y distinción que el autor francés postula, salvo si su doctrina responde a requerimientos que exceden la especulación filosófica.

Authors: K Rajalakshmi , Dorairajan Gowri , Kumar Swetha , Chinnakali Palnivel
Published: January 2021

Objective: to compare the vaginal birth rate in women with previous one
lower segment caesarean section when induced at 40 weeks compared to
expectant management till 41 weeks. Design: A randomized controlled
trial Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, JIPMER, a
tertiary care teaching institution in the south of India. Population or
Sample: Low-risk women with previous one single lower segment caesarean
section with a singleton foetus in vertex presentation and eligible for
a trial of labour (TOLAC) at 40 weeks gestation. Methods: Block
randomization to two groups of thirty each. The induction group was
induced at 40 weeks with low dose oxytocin infusion or ripening with a
single application of a single balloon Foley catheter followed by
oxytocin infusion 24 hours later. The expectant group was managed in the
hospital with maternal and foetal surveillance and induced at 41 weeks
if they had not delivered by then. Main Outcome Measures: Vaginal birth
after caesarean section (VBAC). Results: The demography and pregnancy
variables were comparable in the two groups. Twenty out of thirty women
(66.67%) had a successful vaginal birth after caesarean section in the
induction group compared to ten out of 30 (33.33%) in the expectant
group. This difference was significant (RR 2.0, 95% CI: 1.13-3.52;
P=0.016) Conclusions: Among low-risk women with previous one lower
segment caesarean section willing and eligible for TOLAC, the successful
VBAC rate is significantly higher among those induced at 40 weeks
compared to those managed expectantly till 41 weeks.
Exercise-induced Dyspnea

Published: January 2021

The evaluation of exercise-induced dyspnea (EID) in otherwise healthy
children and adolescents is often limited to a specific cause such as
exercise-induced asthma or vocal cord dysfunction. However, modest
degrees of bronchospasm or vocal cord dysfunction may occur in the
absence of dyspnea. Testing that does not include concurrence of dyspnea
with an abnormality may provide misleading information to the detriment
of the patient. This commentary describes the limitations of two recent
publications in Pediatric Pulmonology. Reproducing the patient’s dyspnea
during cardiopulmonary monitoring provides the etiology of at least 7
causes of EID.

Authors: Gao G.-F. , Zhou X.-L. , Shi Z. , Liu L.-P.
Published: January 2021

The gas-solid-based synergistic reduction of pellets is an innovative and effective method for iron ore smelting. With the development and utilization of iron resources, ore reserves have been greatly depleted; therefore, as a scarce mineral resource, the comprehensive utilization of limonite has become increasingly important. To study the reduction kinetics of pellets in depth, this study used coke and reducing gases (CO and H2) to study the reduction characteristics and changes occurring in carbon-containing limonite pellets. The results showed that the total weight loss percentage of pellets gradually increased with the temperature. The C/O molar ratio had a greater effect on the total weight loss percentage of pellets in a N2 atmosphere, but it had no significant effect in CO or H2 atmospheres. The maximum reaction rate increased with increasing temperature. The reduction reaction was the most difficult to proceed in the N2 atmosphere, and the reaction was most likely to occur in the CO atmosphere. The analysis of pellets by EPMA and XRD found that the pellets reduced in the N2 atmosphere had the lowest porosity, and the pellets reduced in the H2 atmosphere had the highest porosity, which was more conducive to gas diffusion. Some of the unreduced Si, Al, Mn, Ca, and Fe in the pellets reduced in the N2 atmosphere precipitated in the form of oxides, but when a reducing gas (CO, H2) was introduced, precipitation did not occur.

Şırnak ve çevresinde önemli miktarlarda bulunan asfaltitlerin, fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleri kömüre yakındır. Fakat oluşum kaynakları ve kimyasal süreçler nedeniyle kömürden farklıdır. Asfaltitler, tektonizmayla sıvı haldeki petrolün kendi konumundan ayrılarak başka konumlara yerleşip, jeolojik süreçler boyunca kimyasal reaksiyonlarla sertleşip, katı faza dönüşmüştür. Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde ısınma ihtiyacının çoğu asfaltitlerden karşılanmaktadır. Ancak, düşük ısıl değeri, yüksek oranlarda kül, kükürt ve nem içeriği sahip olmalarıyla kalorisi düşük ve hava kirliliğine olumsuz etki etme potansiyeli yüksek hammaddedir. Yapısında azot ve sulu ortamda yavaş çözünen hümik asit bulunmakta ve toprak güçlendirici olarak kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmada, Uludere ilçesinde bulunan maden rezervinden alınan asfaltit numunelerinin içeriğinden doğal hümik asitin elde edilmesine yönelik araştırmalar yapılmıştır. Numuneler ile yapılan deneylerde optimal humik asit kazanma verimine yönelik, pH değişimleri sıcaklık değişimleri, karıştırma sürelerinin değişimleri, KOH ve HCI çözeltisindeki çöktürmenin etkileri incelenmştir. Buna göre Uludere bölgesi numunesinden sıcaklık deneyleri ile yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda en yüksek % 33,95 verimle doğal hümik asit elde edilmiştir.

Cancer of the breast is one of the world's most prevalent causes of death for women. Early and efficient identification is important for can care choices and reducing mortality. Mammography is the most effective early breast cancer detection process. Radiologists cannot however make a detailed and reliable assessment of mammograms due to fatigue or poor image quality. The main aim of this work is to establish a new approach to help radiologists identify anomalies and improve diagnostic precision. The proposed method has been applied through the implementation of preprocessing then segmentation of the images to get the region of interest that was used to find a texture features that were calculated based on first Order (statistical features), Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), and Local Binary Patterns LBP (LBP). In the features selection phase mutual information (MI) algorithm is applied to choose from the extracted features collection suitable features. Finally, Multilayer Perceptron has been applied in two stages to classify the mammography images first to normal or abnormal, and secondly, classification of abnormal images into benign or malignant images. This method was implemented and gave an accuracy of 92.91 % for the first level and 93.15% for the second level classification.

Public Relations is the company's functional organ in building an image aimed at gaining public trust as a potential market. Through this trust the value of a company has increased, both in aspects of customer loyalty and corporate profits. The ability to increase the value of the company will be the strength to win the competition, so the company is able to maintain sustainability and experience growth. Based on that, a strategy to build and maintain an image is needed. So it is very interesting to examine how the strategy of building a corporate image in the situation of intense business competition and dynamic social change. Therefore, the author tries to conduct studies and research in the field of spiritual public relations. This research was conducted at the Cahaya Berlian Pamekasan Hotel in East Java, with a focus on how the implementation of the public relations strategy at the sharia hotel and what was done by the management in building and maintaining the company's image. The uniqueness as the only sharia hotel at Pamekasan requires management to display spiritual differentiation, this is where the points to be obtained by researchers. Besides other facts, the company's ability to survive in a pandemic condition is an interesting plus point to be investigated. To get comprehensive information, researchers interviewed informants directly from the owner, manager, employees, customers, and the community around the hotel. The results showed that the application of the public relations strategy was done through a human relations approach, and the media relations strategy was implemented according to their respective goals. Human relations approach, aimed at maintaining internal and external relations of the company environment. So that good relations between fellow employees, stake holders, customers, the community and regulators are harmoniously established. As for media relations, it is intended to build and maintain a general corporate image through social media and direct communications. In another aspect, this study also found the importance of the owner's spiritual character. This spiritual character has created public sympathy that is relevant to the general purpose of the company. The above proves that there are three things that must be considered in building the company's image through the spiritual strategy of public relations, namely the value of public relations itself, human relations and media relations, and the third is the personal character of the owner. So that the target of public relations activities to be effective for improving the company's image
AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS: USING MULTIPLE MODES OF FOOD CROPS DATA COLLECTION IN INDONESIA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Amalia Ratna Rizki
Published: January 2021

Government policy to limit the spread of COVID-19, such as lockdowns and social distancing, poses critical challenges to food crops data collection. The spread of COVID-19 has led to new challenges in collecting food crops data, which were previously collected using a conventional method, namely through measurements and direct interviews with respondents. To address this challenge, BPS-Statistics Indonesia finds alternatives to surveying by implemented multiple data collection modes, namely direct observation and measurement, physically distanced face-to-face interviews, and phone interviews. One of the most challenging aspects of implementing this combined method is the implementation of field activities. This issue arises due to an insufficient database of agricultural households' phone numbers and a questionnaire format that is complex enough to be used in this new method. This paper provides a comprehensive look at the technicalities that are implemented regarding this breakthrough. This paper's discussion focuses on the business process of data collection and strategic ways to overcome the challenges faced in implementing the method.

The subject of the research is the lining of mine shafts and surrounding rock mass. The subject matter is the features of the stress-strain behavior of lining and adjacent rock mass in shafts and near-shaft underground openings in the Tenth Anniversary of Independence of Kazakhstan mine located in the tectonically high-stress and low-strength rock mass. The loading of the lining in the shafts and near-shaft openings in the Tenth Anniversary of Independence of Kazakhstan mine during construction is investigated, and the damages of the lining in the course of drivage in the nonuniform stress field are analyzed. The long-term periodic in-situ instrumental monitoring of stress variation in the lining of the mine shafts and near-shaft openings revealed the main influences on the process of load formation on the lining in the conditions of post-limiting deformation of surrounding rock mass. It is validated that the surrounding rock mass of the mine has a complex hierarchical block structure and is subjected to modern geodynamic movements. As the depth of mining is increased, surrounding rock mass of the mine shafts transfers to the condition of postlimiting stresses and strains. As a consequence, the lining of the shafts and near-shaft openings at different stages of construction experiences nonuniform concentrated loads, which violates integrity of the lining.

Within the new methodological approach, a scientific and technical substantiation of the optimal underground geotechnology with the combined development of ore deposits based on the characteristics of transients was completed. Based on the analysis of experience of the combined development of ore deposits, the transition process features were revealed: a sharp decrease in the production capacity of the enterprise and an increase in capital investments, and its main goal was determined - to create the most favorable conditions for the transformation of the mining enterprise from one stable state to another. The types of transition areas are systematized depending on the scheme of conducting open and underground mining during the transition period. Four rational options for underground geotechnology that take into account specific factors and conditions formed during open mining, providing optimal parameters for the development of underground mining at a new stable stage, are developed. The method of economic and mathematical modeling for the conditions of the of the Safyanovsky copper deposits investigated the influence of specific factors on the gross profit - the depth of the open pit, which varies in the range from 140 to 380 m, and the depth of the reserves under open pit, which varies in the range from 80 to 320 m. The best option for underground geotechnology, which provides for the phased opening of underquarry reserves by a autoincline from the open pit and an runaway from the surface, mining the transition zone by level-chamber system with filling under ore insulating pillar formed within the transition zone, and the further development of the main reserves by level-chamber system with filling under filling mass, is established by the criterion of net present value.

Published: January 2021

Zoning of undermined urban territories since the beginning of observations over disruption of undermined ground surface in the form of subsidence or sinking, in the worst case, yet remains critical for the population clusters nearby or within mineral mining areas. The problem is of the special concern for industrial towns in the Ural where historically manufacturing communities developed alongside with mining and metallurgical industries, and in the same territory. After decades and sometimes ages have passed, safe and efficient use of these areas remains problematic in view of the disembodied or missing information about their condition. One of such residential areas is the town of Berezovsky with the major portion of its territory being undermined. Closure and subsequent flooding of a once-urban gold mine necessitated the territorial research. During the research using the geotechnical, geodetic and other type information provided by the mine engineering service, the zoning procedure was developed and implemented in the geoinformation environment, and the consequences of the flooding were defined. The research results are unique in view of the singularity and diversity of characteristics of underground excavations and induced ground surface sinks clustered inside the study territory.

The list of restrictions, including spatial, temporal, geological, economic, regulatory, etc., within which the mining enterprise operates as a natural-technical system is given. The general scheme of a natural-industrial system and the restrictions which determine the conditions for its functioning is given. It is stated that any natural-industrial system being a sophisticated complex dynamical system is at the same time an inertial system which quality is important for its operation and management decisions. A scheme of functioning of a naturalindustrial system in time has been presented. The process of its functioning is described. With regards to complexity of environmental issues and environmental legal regulations in mining, a risk assessment approach is proposed which is based on taking into account the external limitations and impacts of different origin, related to environmental safety restrictions. Based on the conclusions of different authors the need to consider a mining enterprise as a dynamic “natural - industrial” system which is permanently under impact of changing external factors is demonstrated. An example of changes of environmental legal regulations as one of the external impacts is given.An example of changes in one of the external limitations that determine the risks of environmental management decisions is given. An analysis of changes in the legal requirements for hazardous wastes management over the past 20 years (from 2000 to 2019) is presented. The possible consequences of these changes for mining enterprises are described.. In addition, the risks that arise for mining enterprises in the event of failure to comply with these environmental requirements are described as well. Conclusions are drawn about the possible areas of application of the approach given in the article.
Analisys of mud inrush water sources into underground working of the Sokolovskoe ore deposit
Authors: Efremov E. Yu.
Published: January 2021

There is a serious threat of groundwater inrush from overlying sedimentary layers for underground mining. When ore is extracted using block caving method, the area of overburden collapse over ore zone disrupts the natural structure of high hydraulic-conductivity and low hydraulic-conductivity layers. This process creates conditions for the accumulation and transfer of groundwater to mine workings, which lead to accidents, up to disastrous proportions. The research aim is to determine the spatio-temporal distribution of mud inrushes, and to identify groundwater supply sources of inrushes to reduce the geotechnical risks of underground mining in Sokolovskaya mine. Research methods include localization, classification, and analysis of monitoring data, comparison of mud inrushes distribution with geostatistical parameters of the main aquifers.The majority of large-scale accidents caused by mud inrushes are confined to the central and northern area of caved rock zone. The most risky stage of the ore body extraction is the initial block at the lower extraction level. The sources of water supply for the majority of the mud inrushes are high water level areas of the Cretaceous aquifer to the north and west of the mine. Rational targeted drainage aimed at draining the identified areas of the aquifer is the best way to reduce the risk of accidents.
