Authors: Ruiz Sienna , Okere Uzoma Charles , Eggers Michelle , O'Leary Catina , Politi Mary , Wan Fei , Housten Ashley J
Published: February 2023

Background

Effective public health messaging has been necessary throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, but stakeholders have struggled to communicate critical information to the public, especially in different types of locations such as urban and rural areas.

Objective

This study aimed to identify opportunities to improve COVID-19 messages for community distribution in rural and urban settings and to summarize the findings to inform future messaging.

Methods

We purposively sampled by region (urban or rural) and participant type (general public or health care professional) to survey participants about their opinions on 4 COVID-19 health messages. We designed open-ended survey questions and analyzed the data using pragmatic health equity implementation science approaches. Following the qualitative analysis of the survey responses, we designed refined COVID-19 messages incorporating participant feedback and redistributed them via a short survey.

Results

In total, 67 participants consented and enrolled: 31 (46%) community participants from the rural Southeast Missouri Bootheel, 27 (40%) community participants from urban St Louis, and 9 (13%) health care professionals from St Louis. Overall, we found no qualitative differences between the responses of our urban and rural samples to the open-ended questions. Participants across groups wanted familiar COVID-19 protocols, personal choice in COVID-19 preventive behaviors, and clear source information. Health care professionals contextualized their suggestions within the specific needs of their patients. All groups suggested practices consistent with health-literate communications. We reached 83% (54/65) of the participants for message redistribution, and most had overwhelmingly positive responses to the refined messages.

Conclusions

We suggest convenient methods for community involvement in the creation of health messages by using a brief web-based survey. We identified areas of improvement for future health messaging, such as reaffirming the preventive practices advertised early in a crisis, framing messages such that they allow for personal choice of preventive behavior, highlighting well-known source information, using plain language, and crafting messages that are applicable to the readers’ circumstances.
The Use of Social Media for Dissemination of Research Evidence to Health and Social Care Practitioners: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Roberts-Lewis Sarah F , Baxter Helen A , Mein Gill , Quirke-McFarlane Sophia , Leggat Fiona J , Garner Hannah M , Powell Martha , White Sarah , Bearne Lindsay
Published: February 2023

Background

Effective dissemination of research to health and social care practitioners enhances clinical practice and evidence-based care. Social media use has potential to facilitate dissemination to busy practitioners.

Objective

This is a protocol for a systematic review that will quantitatively synthesize evidence of the effectiveness of social media, compared with no social media, for dissemination of research evidence to health and social care practitioners. Social media platforms, formats, and sharing mechanisms used for effective dissemination of research evidence will also be identified and compared.

Methods

Electronic database searches (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC, LISTA, and OpenGrey) will be conducted from January 1, 2010, to January 10, 2023, for studies published in English. Randomized, nonrandomized, pre-post study designs or case studies evaluating the effect of social media on dissemination of research evidence to postregistration health and social care practitioners will be included. Studies that do not involve social media or dissemination or those that evaluate dissemination of nonresearch information (eg, multisource educational materials) to students or members of the public only, or without quantitative data on outcomes of interest, will be excluded. Screening will be carried out by 2 independent reviewers. Data extraction and quality assessment, using either the Cochrane tool for assessing risk of bias or the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, will be completed by 2 independent reviewers. Outcomes of interest will be reported in 4 domains (reach, engagement, dissemination, and impact). Data synthesis will include quantitative comparisons using narrative text, tables, and figures. A meta-analysis of standardized pooled effects will be undertaken, and subgroup analyses will be applied, if appropriate.

Results

Searches and screening will be completed by the end of May 2023. Data extraction and analyses will be completed by the end of July 2023, after which findings will be synthesized and reported by the end of October 2023.

Conclusions

This systematic review will summarize the evidence for the effectiveness of social media for the dissemination of research evidence to health and social care practitioners. The limitations of the evidence may include multiple outcomes or methodological heterogeneity that limit meta-analyses, potential risk of bias in included studies, and potential publication bias. The limitations of the study design may include potential insensitivity of the electronic database search strategy. The findings from this review will inform the dissemination practice of health and care research.

Postmarketing Follow-Up of a Digital Home Exercise Program for Back, Hip, and Knee Pain: Retrospective Observational Study With a Time-Series and Matched-Pair Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Teepe Gisbert Wilhelm , Kowatsch Tobias , Hans Felix Patricius , Benning Leo
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

Musculoskeletal conditions are the main drivers of global disease burden and cause significant direct and indirect health care costs. Digital health applications improve the availability of and access to adequate care. The German health care system established a pathway for the approval of “Digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen” (DiGAs; Digital Health Applications) as collectively funded medical services through the “Digitale-Versorgung-Gesetz” (Digital Health Care Act) in 2019.

OBJECTIVE

This article presents real-world prescription data collected through the smartphone-based home exercise program “Vivira,” a fully approved DiGA, regarding its effect on self-reported pain intensity and physical inability in patients with unspecific and degenerative pain in the back, hip, and knee.

METHODS

This study included 3629 patients (71.8% [2607/3629] female; mean age 47 years, SD 14.2 years). The primary outcome was the self-reported pain score, which was assessed with a verbal numerical rating scale. The secondary outcomes were self-reported function scores. To analyze the primary outcome, we used a 2-sided Skillings-Mack test. For function scores, a time analysis was not feasible; therefore, we calculated matched pairs using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

RESULTS

Our results showed significant reductions in self-reported pain intensity after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks in the Skillings-Mack test (T3628=5308; P<.001). The changes were within the range of a clinically relevant improvement. Function scores showed a generally positive yet more variable response across the pain areas (back, hip, and knee).

CONCLUSIONS

This study presents postmarketing observational data from one of the first DiGAs for unspecific and degenerative musculoskeletal pain. We noted significant improvements in self-reported pain intensity throughout the observation period of 12 weeks, which reached clinical relevance. Additionally, we identified a complex response pattern of the function scores assessed. Lastly, we highlighted the challenges of relevant attrition at follow-up and the potential opportunities for evaluating digital health applications. Although our findings do not have confirmatory power, they illustrate the potential benefits of digital health applications to improve the availability of and access to medical care.

Exploring Patient Journey Mapping and the Learning Health System: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Joseph Amanda L , Monkman Helen , Kushniruk Andre , Quintana Yuri
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

Journey maps are visualization tools that can facilitate the diagrammatical representation of stakeholder groups by interest or function for comparative visual analysis. Therefore, journey maps can illustrate intersections and relationships between organizations and consumers using products or services. We propose that some synergies may exist between journey maps and the concept of a learning health system (LHS). The overarching goal of an LHS is to use health care data to inform clinical practice and improve service delivery processes and patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this review was to assess the literature and establish a relationship between journey mapping techniques and LHSs. Specifically, in this study, we explored the current state of the literature to answer the following research questions: (1) Is there a relationship between journey mapping techniques and an LHS in the literature? (2) Is there a way to integrate the data from journey mapping activities into an LHS? (3) How can the data gleaned from journey map activities be used to inform an LHS?

METHODS

A scoping review was conducted by querying the following electronic databases: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Ovid), IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete (EBSCOhost), APA PsycInfo (EBSCOhost), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and MEDLINE (EBSCOhost). Two researchers applied the inclusion criteria and assessed all articles by title and abstract in the first screen, using Covidence. Following this, a full-text review of included articles was done, with relevant data extracted, tabulated, and assessed thematically.

RESULTS

The initial search yielded 694 studies. Of those, 179 duplicates were removed. Following this, 515 articles were assessed during the first screening phase, and 412 were excluded, as they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Next, 103 articles were read in full, and 95 were excluded, resulting in a final sample of 8 articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria. The article sample can be subsumed into 2 overarching themes: (1) the need to evolve service delivery models in health care, and (2) the potential value of using patient journey data in an LHS.

CONCLUSIONS

This scoping review demonstrated the gap in knowledge regarding integrating the data from journey mapping activities into an LHS. Our findings highlighted the importance of using the data from patient experiences to enrich an LHS and provide holistic care. To satisfy this gap, the authors intend to continue this investigation to establish the relationship between journey mapping and the concept of LHSs. This scoping review will serve as phase 1 of an investigative series. Phase 2 will entail the creation of a holistic framework to guide and streamline data integration from journey mapping activities into an LHS. Lastly, phase 3 will provide a proof of concept to demonstrate how patient journey mapping activities could be integrated into an LHS.
Creatively Adapting Touch-Based Practices to the Web Format During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Gauhe Greta , Cisneros Rosemary E Kostic , Ward Jade , Hohenschurz-Schmidt David J
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic forced numerous touch-based fields, including manual therapy, body psychotherapy, arts therapy, creative arts practices, and the fitness industry, to swiftly transition to web-based service delivery. These disciplines faced substantial challenges in adapting their traditionally in-person practices, which rely heavily on physical touch and close proximity, to a web format.

OBJECTIVE

This review intends to provide a systematically sourced overview of the literature concerning innovative approaches for adapting touch-based practices to the web format in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS

A systematic search across 7 databases and gray literature sources identified studies presenting innovative web delivery methods, particularly those addressing the challenges arising from the absence of physical proximity and touch. The inclusion criteria were designed to encompass studies exploring the creative adaptation of touch-based practices to web formats in response to the COVID-19 pandemic irrespective of study methodology. The exclusion criteria applied to studies focusing solely on technical aspects of web delivery or nontouch or noninteractive practices. There were no geographical restrictions, but the selection was limited to publications from 2020 onward. As only qualitative studies were found, data synthesis was conducted thematically.

RESULTS

The review encompassed 17 studies revealing that touch-based fields successfully devised innovative and creative methods for web service delivery. These methods were categorized into five main themes: (1) adapted working methods (cross-field methods), (2) adapted working methods for sensorial experiences and nonphysical connections, (3) creative methods using materials or additional tools, (4) creative use of web-based platform tools or additional technologies, and (5) creative methods requiring previous preparation of practitioners or participants. These creative approaches allowed practitioners to address the challenges of web touch-based practices, fostering connections and offering unique sensory experiences, albeit with some concerns related to technology and preparation.

CONCLUSIONS

These innovative methods demonstrate promise in circumventing the limitations imposed by the lack of physical touch and proximity in web settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, these insights hold potential for application in other fields in the future. This systematic search and thematic synthesis provide valuable guidance for practitioners and educators seeking to navigate the evolving landscape of web service delivery in touch-based disciplines, ensuring continuity of care even in challenging circumstances.

Impact of Social Media Usage on Users’ COVID-19 Protective Behavior: Survey Study in Indonesia (Preprint)
Authors: Handayani Putu Wuri , Zagatti Guilherme Augusto , Kefi Hajer , Bressan Stéphane
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

Social media have become the source of choice for many users to search for health information on COVID-19 despite possible detrimental consequences. Several studies have analyzed the association between health information–searching behavior and mental health. Some of these studies examined users’ intentions in searching health information on social media and the impact of social media use on mental health in Indonesia.

OBJECTIVE

This study investigates both active and passive participation in social media, shedding light on cofounding effects from these different forms of engagement. In addition, this study analyses the role of trust in social media platforms and its effect on public health outcomes. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of social media usage on COVID-19 protective behavior in Indonesia. The most commonly used social media platforms are Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter.

METHODS

We used primary data from an online survey. We processed 414 answers to a structured questionnaire to evaluate the relationship between these users’ active and passive participation in social media, trust in social media, anxiety, self-efficacy, and protective behavior to COVID-19. We modeled the data using partial least square structural equation modeling.

RESULTS

This study reveals that social media trust is a crucial antecedent, where trust in social media is positively associated with active contribution and passive consumption of COVID-19 content in social media, users’ anxiety, self-efficacy, and protective behavior. This study found that active contribution of content related to COVID-19 on social media is positively correlated with anxiety, while passive participation increases self-efficacy and, in turn, protective behavior. This study also found that active participation is associated with negative health outcomes, while passive participation has the opposite effects. The results of this study can potentially be used for other infectious diseases, for example, dengue fever and diseases that can be transmitted through the air and have handling protocols similar to that of COVID-19.

CONCLUSIONS

Public health campaigns can use social media for health promotion. Public health campaigns should post positive messages and distil the received information parsimoniously to avoid unnecessary and possibly counterproductive increased anxiety of the users.
The Possibility of Interreligious Dialogue: A Philosophical Foundation
Authors: Hukmi Risalatul
Published: February 2023

The possibility of interreligious dialogue depends, at least, on the justification for the existence of religion itself. Thus, the constructionist theory of religion becomes a fundamental problem in constructing a framework of interreligious dialogue theory because religion is expressed as an imaginary existence, in the sense that it is only the construction of scholars and academics. If the existence of religion itself cannot be justified ontologically, it means that interreligious dialogue is impossible. Hence, to answer that problem, we inevitably have to prove ontologically the existence of religion without having to reject the constructionist theory. In this paper, I use the social ontology analysis proposed by John Searle and the historical ontology theory proposed by Ian Hacking to prove that religion as a constructed social reality exists objectively. Thus, interreligious dialogue is possible within a framework of existential hermeneutics that presupposes a process of understanding that changes continuously in accordance with historical ontology as its foundation.
Iqbal Humanism and Human Rights
Authors: Lidinillah Mustofa Anshori , Syamsuddin Mukhtasar , Kuswanjono Arqom
Published: February 2023

Contrasting religion with human rights is a critical response that is unproductive because basically the relationship between religion and human rights is ambivalent. Meanwhile, freedom of religion is understood as part of human rights, but in reality, religious practices emerge which result in violations of human rights. This research wants to answer the question of how to bridge the relationship between religion and human rights by taking the case of Iqbal's concept of humanism, "How does Iqbal's humanism reconcile religion and human rights?" This study uses the hermeneutic-philosophical method by applying the following methodical steps: interpretation, analysis-synthesis, internal coherence, description, and heuristics. The results of the research show that Iqbal's humanism as a framing that reconciles religion and human rights based on a reciprocal relationship between religion and humanity. Tauhid as a working idea and the main spiritual basis for building a civilization with a human perspective contains values that are in accordance with the principles of human rights. The development of a new civilization with human insight must be pursued intellectually and vitally. Religion is a mode of human development as long as it is not accepted dogmatically. Therefore, Iqbal's humanism has a very strong relevance in efforts to uphold the principles of human rights in people's lives.

Proposal for Analysis of Geoenvironmental Sustainability Indicators for the Municipality of Barcarena in the State of Pará
Authors: Nilander Rosivan Alves , Targa Marcelo dos Santos , Catelani Celso de Souza , Balduino Angelo Ricardo
Published: February 2023

This research proposes an analysis of the municipality of Barcarena, in the State of Pará, from the use of geoenvironmental and sustainability indicators, with the intention of verifying possible changes in the local landscape due to plant extractivism in the past and current mineral extraction. Specifically, it is intended to understand how geoenvironmental and social sustainability indicators can be used to monitor local changes; evaluate the quality of life in the municipality of the Barcarena, from the use of physical and socio-environmental indicators; propose a system of indicators capable of gathering physical and socio-environmental indicators of sustainability from the discussion on the quality of urban and environmental life observed in the research. For this, research was carried out that presents a qualitative and quantitative character and can be identified as a study that involves a mixed method because it used diversified techniques in an attempt to achieve its objectives, including bibliographic, documentary survey, as well as field research. The results obtained prove that the geoenvironmental indices of the Municipality of Barcarena place it in an intermediate position, a fact that can be proven through the Sustainability Barometer published by the Amazon Foundation for Research in Pará – FAPESPA. This occurrence is because the interests of large mining companies predominate in the region to the detriment of the costs and expenses that could incur initiatives aimed at maintaining and preserving the environment, as well as the absence of effective public policies that ensure the maintenance of socio-environmental well-being in the region.
Evaluation of Aesthetic Perceptions of Public Buildings’ Façades by Design Professionals
Authors: Omale Reuben Peters
Published: February 2023

Visual assessments are very relevant in the study of architecture since this is a profession that relies immensely on the visual sense of humans. This study contributes to the understanding of visual perceptions, as well as to the wider field of environment and behaviour studies. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the aesthetic perceptions of public buildings among design professionals with a view towards understanding the mindsets of different design professions towards façade designs. The study considered three types of design professionals: architects, engineers and industrial designers/artists. Two hundred questionnaires were analysed using a mixed methods approach. The variables used in analysing the façades of public buildings were roof design, façade colour, entrance design, fenestration arrangements and innovation in building form. Twelve images of public office buildings in Alagbaka in Akure, Nigeria, were selected for study using random selection and cluster classification methods. A photo-interviewing analysis method was adopted for analysing visual images of the buildings: first-hand visual data were obtained from the study site using digital photographs of each building, and questionnaires were then administered to respondents regarding the images. Data were measured using five-point semantic differential scales, and relevant information obtained through this method was analysed using descriptive statistics, such as frequencies and percentages. Also, inferential statistics using the Kruskal Wallis test was used to determine whether there existed significant differences within the groups of design professionals. Findings from the quantitative analysis showed that there were no significant differences among the groups, although qualitative interview sessions did reveal that while architects and industrial designers/artists exhibit similarities in aesthetic perceptions of public buildings’ façade designs, the perceptions of engineers differ slightly. While these results need to be treated, interpreted and considered with care, design professionals can learn from these subtle differences in the results. The views of each design profession are important during a design process as the final outcome of the design is greatly dependent on the collective contributions of individual professions due to their peculiarity.
Schumann, Holmes & Smyth
Authors: Smith Sarah Elizabeth
Published: February 2023

This article looks at the relationship between Clara Schumann, Augusta Holmès, and Dame Ethel Smyth and how their knowledge of one another’s place in history informs our understanding of their compositional output. The canonic significance attributed to Clara Schumann and the idea of “the first woman to compose large symphonic works” will be discussed in relation to modern writings on female canons in creative writing. In addition, this essay will present an analysis of the feminist and political implications of Augusta Holmès’s opera La Montagne Noire and Dame Ethel Smyth’s The Wreckers. How Smyth and Holmès chose to depict the women in these operas will be examined against feminist musicological criticism of the genre and the composers’ own politics.

Aprobación presidencial y preocupación por la COVID-19 en México
Authors: Amador Leal González Belinda
Published: February 2023

Diversos estudios han encontrado que la simpatía con el gobierno en turno afecta las percepciones sobre la pandemia. En países con presidentes que minimizaron la gravedad del coronavirus, se ha encontrado que los simpatizantes del gobierno tienen menor preocupación por la enfermedad. Entonces, se esperaría observar que solo en estos países haya una relación negativa entre simpatía por el presidente y preocupación por el covid. En este texto, analizo el efecto de la aprobación presidencial, como evaluación específica, sobre la percepción de gravedad de la enfermedad por coronavirus en México, en contraste con América Latina. Utilizando encuestas del Barómetro de las Américas presento tres resultados relevantes. 1. Encuentro que quienes mejor evalúan el trabajo de López Obrador reportan menor preocupación por el coronavirus que quienes peor lo evalúan. 2. Para el latinoamericano promedio, una evaluación positiva del presidente está asociado con mayor preocupación por covid, pero sucede el efecto contrario en México y Brasil. Tercero, en México las mediciones de evaluación difusa no tienen efecto sobre la percepción de gravedad del COVID-19, mientras que en América Latina están asociadas con mayor preocupación.

“We Should Learn to Live, Learning is Power”: Pyŏllara, Night Schools and the Dilemma of Workers’ Education in Colonial Korea
Authors: Lee Yoonmi
Published: February 2023

This study examines the pedagogical roles of the print media movement for youth associated with night schools in colonial Korea, focusing on the socialist magazine Pyŏllara (1926–1935). The movement deserves attention because of its educational function, in which activists endeavored to empower young workers. Since formal schooling was limited under colonial conditions, the night schools often complemented the role of public schools, providing opportunities for school-aged children. However, even in schools supported by socialist groups, the educational content and curriculum often remained rudimentary despite their ultimate pursuit of political education. This gap often situated workers’ education in a dilemma between basic literacy and raising political awareness. Despite this dilemma, the magazine and night schools nonetheless provided young workers with exceptional opportunities to empower themselves, which could hardly be done in public schools at the time.
Expected Sacrifices and Inescapable Oppressions: A Durkheimian Lens in Analyzing Historical Cases of Suicide in Korea
Authors: Anderson Bryce
Published: February 2023

Suicide in Korea has a long history dating back to Japanese occupied Chosŏn/Korea (1910-1945) and beyond. Émile Durkheim’s influential social study of suicide has provided utility in classifying suicides across various contexts, and I contend here that his suicide typology can be used to understand suicides during this time period in Korea. Through analyzing secondary sources, this historical analysis will provide a basic foundation of how suicide has been understood and practiced during this selected time period in Korean history, with specific focus on how the uprooting of traditional society and culture under colonialism has shown a multiplicity of Durkheim’s suicide types. For this very reason, this paper further discusses the theoretical implications in arguing the fluidity of Durkheim’s suicide types.
Who get paid higher? A study on wages decomposition between manufacturing and non-manufacturing workers in Indonesia
Authors: Ibrahim Arief , Bachtiar Nasri , Primayesa Elvina
Published: February 2023

In 2008, Indonesia became a member of the G20, and it is estimated that in 2030 it will be in the top seventh economic countries if it can keep growing. Nevertheless, high economic growth was followed by an inequality problem. This study will analyze the wage gap between manufacturing and non-manufacturing workers. Using Sakernas 2020 and the Mincer wage model regression, the result showed that all independent variables: age, level of education, gender, region of residence, marital status, toddler, disability status, and certificate training influence wages for both manufacturing and non-manufacturing workers. Next, the Blinder-Oaxaca method decomposes the wage gap between both groups. It is shown that manufacturing workers get higher wages than non-manufacturing workers because of differences in the characteristic of workers and also industry attributes which, in this case, capital intensity.
Sedimentos Relíquias, Palimpsestos e as alusões Paleoambientais e Eustáticas
Authors: Lima Filho Mauro de Castro , Quaresma Valéria da Silva , Bastos Alex Cardoso , Duarte Romero Meyrelles
Published: February 2023

A costa brasileira é caracterizada por ampla diversidade geológica e geomorfológica, contando com diversos sistemas deltaicos e estuarinos. Nesse contexto, em termos de suprimento e dinâmica sedimentar, destaca-se o delta do rio Doce, situado na região norte do estado do Espírito Santo, onde está localizada a área de estudo. Ligados a essa diversidade sedimentológica e às variações eustáticas ocorridas nos últimos milhares de anos, alguns depósitos apresentam registros que destoam do que se deveria obter a partir do atual regime hidrodinâmico, apresentando granulometrias e texturas diferenciadas, sendo classificados em alguns trabalhos como sedimentos relíquias. Assim, visando identificar esses sedimentos reliquiares, o presente trabalho avaliou as principais características morfológicas e texturais dos sedimentos da área, utilizando técnicas e critérios aplicados com a lupa binocular e microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV). A partir das análises, sobretudo do grau de arredondamento e feições texturais, foi possível identificar os sedimentos relíquias e verificar a localização geográfica destes depósitos, interpretando se tratar de um paleossistema fluvial do Doce, com características altamente energéticas à época e suas implicações sobretudo eustáticas para a região norte do estado.

NORMS AND NEW MEDIA AS NEW PILLARS OF NEW NETWORK TERRORISM
Authors: Saifuddin Ahmad
Published: February 2023

Terrorism is a constant phenomenon. However, the pattern and style of terrorism have changed considerably since 2010. This paper uses a case-study approach to explore the factors that lead individuals to join terrorist groups today. Analysts have long focused on three factors that drove individuals to join terrorist groups: "needs, narratives, and networks," commonly referred to as the 3N. This paper identifies two more: norms and new media (2N). Now recruitment often occurs through social media. Besides that, this study found that people who adhere to good norms are vulnerable to being affected by terrorism. The results of this study indicate that not all terrorists have bad personalities.The results of this study inform the community that the internalization of values is accomplished not only by teaching goodness but also by directing goodness. In addition, this research has implications for enhancing the digital literacy abilities of the community.

RATIONALE Obtaining nitrous oxide isotopocule measurements with isotope
ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) involves analyzing the ion current ratios
of the nitrous oxide parent ion (NO)
as well as those of the NO fragment ion. The data
analysis requires correcting for “scrambling” in the ion source,
whereby the NO fragment ion obtains the outer N atom
from the NO molecule. While
descriptions exist for this correction, and interlaboratory
intercalibration efforts have been made, there has yet to be published a
package of code for implementing isotopomer calibrations. METHODS We
developed a user-friendly Python package (pyisotopomer) to determine two
coefficients (γ and κ) that describe scrambling in the
IRMS ion source, and then to use this calibration to obtain
intramolecular isotope deltas in NO samples. RESULTS We
show that, with two reference materials distinct enough in their site
preference, γ and κ can be determined robustly and
accurately for a given IRMS. An additional third reference material is
needed to define the zero-point of the delta scale. We show that the
scrambling behavior of an IRMS can vary with time, necessitating regular
calibrations. Finally, we present an intercalibration between two IRMS
laboratories, using pyisotopomer to calculate γ and κ and
to obtain intramolecular NO isotope deltas in lake
water unknowns. CONCLUSIONS Given these considerations, we discuss how
to use pyisotopomer to obtain high-quality NO
isotopocule data from IRMS systems, including the use of appropriate
reference materials and frequency of calibration.

Purpose To describe utilization patterns, characteristics of
users and prescriber responsibility of the new oral antiviral
medication, molnupiravir, indicated for mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
Methods Using nationwide registries, we identified all Danish
adults who filled a prescription for molnupiravir from December 16
, 2021, to August 31 , 2022. We
described weekly incidence rates and patient characteristics over time,
prescriber responsibility as well as time between molnupiravir
initiation and a positive SARs-CoV-2 test. Patient characteristics were
compared to an untreated SARS-CoV-2 positive cohort. Results By
August 31 , 2022, 5,847 individuals had filled a
prescription for molnupiravir. The incidence rate gradually increased to
2,000 weekly prescriptions per 100,000 RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 positives.
Users of molnupiravir were most often men (55% vs. 45% women). The
majority (81%) had a positive RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 test and few (2.9%)
redeemed molnupiravir outside the recommended window of 5 days from the
positive test result. Compared to an untreated SARS-CoV-2 positive
cohort, users of molnupiravir had a median age of 74 years vs. 44 years,
a higher proportion resided in a nursing home (12% vs. 1.1%) and had a
higher number of comorbidities (median of 3 vs. 0); most commonly
hypertension (38%), chronic lung disease (35%), diabetes (20%) and
mood disorders (20%). General practitioners were the primary
prescribers of molnupiravir (91%). Conclusions Molnupiravir
was mainly prescribed by general practitioners to RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2
positive individuals who had a potentially increased risk of severe
COVID-19. Though some off-label prescribing occurred, our study
indicates a high level of adherence to contemporary guidelines.

The leading cause of cerebrovascular disease, cerebral apoplexy, is by
far one of the three conditions that pose the greatest risk to human
health. With the trend toward an elderly society, cerebral apoplexy
research has advanced incredibly quickly in recent years. Bibliometric
analysis is used in the current investigation to assess trends in this
sector. Articles were searched for in the Web of Science (subsequently
referred to as WOS) database up until January 20, 2023. Bibliographic
details, including country, institution, journal, author, citation, and
keywords, of the chosen publications were automatically converted and
analyzed using the Bibliometric software program. For this analysis, 3
617 articles were chosen from 1971 to 2023 in total. Thirteen articles
received more than 100 citations overall, according to the citation
analysis. Based on a Bibliometric examination of the literature used in
this study, it could be seen that China (256 articles), Japan (366
articles), and the United States (1127 articles) provided the most
publications. The most publications came from Northern University (164
records, 4.53% of articles). Levin, MF was the most productive author,
with 40 papers (1.11% of the articles). These articles were published
in 667 journals, most of which (145, or 4.01% of the articles) were
published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The
curve is particularly prominent for the keywords “hemiparesis,”
“rehabilitation,” and “stroke.” The effects of cerebral
apoplexy-causing hemiparesis and the efficiency of interventions,
particularly restorative therapies, are anticipated to be the main
topics of future research.
Comparison of schizophrenia and methamphetamine-induced psychosis: a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and cytokine study.
Authors: Burger Antoinette , Lindner Michael , Robertson Frances , Blake Lauren , Williams Kimberley , Naude Petrus , Temmingh Henk , stein dan
Published: February 2023

Background: There is similarity in schizophrenia and
methamphetamine-induced psychosis neurobiology. Few studies have
directly compared neurometabolites in thalamo-cortical circuitry across
these disorders or assessed the relationship with peripheral cytokines.
This study compared neurometabolites and neuronal integrity in
thalamo-cortical circuitry, and investigated associations with
peripheral cytokine levels in both disorders. Methods: Ninety-five
participants were recruited – 36 with schizophrenia, 27 with
methamphetamine-induced psychosis, and 32 healthy controls. All
participants underwent a magnetic resonance imaging scan, which included
magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Glutamatergic and neuroinflammatory
neurometabolites were examined. Serum cytokine concentrations included
Interleukin 1-beta, Interleukin-8, Interleukin-10, Tumor Necrosis Factor
alpha and Interferon gamma. Parametric data were analyzed with one-way
analysis of variance and non-parametric data were analyzed with Kruskal
Wallis tests. Associations were determined using Spearman’s rank-order
coefficient. Results: The methamphetamine-induced psychosis group had
lower n-acetyl aspartate with n-acetyl-aspartyl glutamate in left
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and left frontal white matter, compared
to controls. In schizophrenia, positive associations were found between
glutamate and n-acetyl aspartate and n-acetyl aspartate with
n-acetyl-aspartyl glutamate in the anterior cingulate cortex. In the
methamphetamine-induced psychosis group, positive relationships were
found between myo-inositol in the left thalamus and bilateral anterior
cingulate cortex. Conclusion: In schizophrenia, there is suggestion of
dysfunction in neuronal tissues in the glutamate-glutamine cycle within
the thalamo-cortical circuit. In methamphetamine-induced psychosis,
there is evidence of compromised neuronal integrity associated with
chronic disease progression, and suggestion of aberrant
neuroinflammatory regulation in the thalamus-ACC circuit. This study
highlights similarities and differences in the psychobiology of the two
disorders
On Code Reuse from StackOverflow: An Exploratory Study on Jupyter Notebook
Authors: Tang Yutian , Yang Mingke , Zhou Yuming , Li Bixin
Published: February 2023

Jupyter Notebook is a popular tool among data analysts and scientists
for working with data. It provides a way to combine code, documentation,
and visualizations in a single, interactive environment, facilitating
code reuse. While code reuse can improve programming efficiency, it can
also decrease readability, security, and overall performance. We conduct
a large-scale exploratory study of code reuse practices in the Jupyter
Notebook development community on the Stack Overflow platform to
understand the potential negative impacts of code reuse. Our findings
identified 1,097,470 Jupyter Notebook clone pairs that reuse Stack
Overflow code snippets, and the average code snippet has 7.91 code
quality violations. Through our research, we gain insight into the
reasons behind Jupyter Notebook developers’ decision to reuse code and
the potential drawbacks of this practice.
