Authors: Wang Xiaoqing , Zhang Xiaoying , Zhao Rui , Liu Yan , Wen Chaoyang , Zheng Haining
Published: January 2025

Objectives:

Retroperitoneal nerve sheath tumors are uncommon, representing a small fraction of all primary retroperitoneal neoplasms. Accurate differentiation
between benign and malignant forms is essential for optimal clinical management. This study assessed the clinical profiles and sonographic traits
of retroperitoneal nerve sheath tumors with the goal of enhancing diagnostic precision and developing therapeutic strategies.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with benign retroperitoneal nerve sheath tumors who completed surgical treatment and underwent
ultrasound imaging was carried out. Tumors were classified based on sonographic features and blood flow characteristics as per Adler's grading
system. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0. ROC curve analysis was carried out to determine the optimal diagnostic cutoff values.

Results:

A total of 49 patients were included in the study. There were no significant variances in age, gender, or tumor localization among the groups.
However, pronounced disparities were observed in tumor number, size, shape, definition of borders, internal echo pattern, structural composition,
presence of calcification, and blood flow signals between the classic and malignant groups. Notably, malignant tumors tended to manifest as larger
masses with indistinct margins and irregular shapes. The maximum tumor diameter emerged as a discriminating factor for malignancy, with a
diagnostic cutoff of 9.9 cm, yielding an AUC of 0.754 from the ROC curve analysis.

Conclusion:

This study outlines the distinctive clinical and sonographic features of retroperitoneal nerve sheath tumors, with a particular focus on malignant
subtypes. Ultrasonography emerges as a valuable diagnostic tool, contributing to the differentiation of tumor categories and potentially to the
development of targeted treatment strategies. The identification of specific sonographic markers may facilitate the early detection and detailed
characterization of these tumors, which could contribute to improved patient outcomes.
The years of mechanization (1940-1980): a history of Machine Translation
Authors: Batista Ronaldo de Oliveira , Debonis Luciana
Published: January 2025

We sketched the history of machine translation (MT) from the 1940s to the 1980s from a linguistic historiography perspective and the concept of research programs. For this purpose, two questions were established according to the selected historical period: (1) What are the characteristics and the use of technological tools? (2) What are the impacts such changes have on social contexts of use in relation to the performance of human translators? The methodological direction adopted to demonstrate the results in this article was established into three phases: 1st. heuristic phase: periodization definition; selection/treatment of corpus; 2nd. hermeneutic phase: guidelines establishment for the analysis; 3rd. expository phase: results presentation through a historiographical narrative. The analysis material was organized and hierarchized into two large sets: documents regarding functionalities and tools and documents in connection with the history of MT. This article argues that for about 40 years, the MT was characterized by initiatives and operations of a mechanization program that began to change the translator's profile and professional insertion.
Relaxing the confirmatory factor model in the Big Five: Exploratory, Bayesian, and machine learning approaches
Authors: Gray Jacob S.
Published: January 2025

Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is a critical component of a psychologist’s assessment toolbox. CFA posits that the covariance between a large number of items can be explained with a smaller number of latent variables. The downside of CFA is that it makes often overly restrictive demands of the data with no cross-loadings. Three methods have been devised to relax this assumption: Exploratory Structural Equation Model (SEM), Bayesian SEM, and Regularized SEM. Each of these allow for the existence of cross-loadings, but a direct comparison of these methods is missing from the literature. The present compares results of these three methods using a sample of over 300 adults who completed the Big Five Inventory. The models were compared with regards to model fit, factor loadings, and factor correlations. All three of these methods provided substantially better fit to the data than the CFA model did, while producing lower factor correlations. However, these methods did not always demonstrate agreement in which items cross-loaded on which factors. Implications for the use of these methods to relax the overly restrictive assumptions in CFA is discussed.
Unpacking Performance Factors of Innovation Systems and Studying Germany’s Attempt to Foster the Role of the Patient Through a Market Access Pathway for Digital Health Applications (DiGAs): Exploratory Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Gehder Sara , Goeldner Moritz
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Health care innovation faces significant challenges, including system inertia and diverse stakeholders, making regulated market access pathways essential for facilitating the adoption of new technologies. The German Digital Healthcare Act, introduced in 2019, offers a model by enabling digital health applications (DiGAs) to be reimbursed by statutory health insurance, improving market access and patient empowerment. However, the factors influencing the success of these pathways in driving innovation remain unclear.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to identify the key performance factors of the innovation system shaped by the patient-relevant structural and procedural improvement (pSVV) pathway within the DiGA model. By examining how this pathway supports the entry of innovative digital health technologies, we seek to uncover the systemic dynamics that influence its effectiveness in fostering patient-centered digital health solutions.

METHODS

This study, conducted from May 2023 to November 2024, used a mixed methods approach. A descriptive analysis assessed how DiGA manufacturers use positive health care effects, giving a market overview of the pSVV technology. A qualitative analysis using grounded theory and Gioia methodology provided insights into stakeholder perspectives, focusing on manufacturers and regulatory bodies. A functional-structural analysis examined how components of the innovation system, such as actors, institutions, interactions, and infrastructure, interact and impact the effectiveness of the pathway.

RESULTS

The descriptive analysis showed that only 11 (20%) of the 56 DiGAs available in Germany used the pSVV pathway, with only 1 (2%) provisionally listed DiGA using pSVV as a primary end point; 6 of 9 (67%) pSVV key areas were used. The qualitative analysis revealed that manufacturers prioritize demonstrating medical benefits over pSVV due to evidence requirements and uncertainties around pSVV acceptance. Operational barriers hindered the adoption of pSVV, despite a positive reception among stakeholders. The systemic analysis identified key issues, including a lack of entrepreneurial focus on pSVV, limited regulatory experience, inadequate measurement methods, and entrenched practices prioritizing medical benefits, that hinder market formation and legitimacy.

CONCLUSIONS

This study identifies key factors for effectively implementing innovation systems through regulated market access pathways, including content and format security, clearer framework specification, active innovation process management, and market formation stimulation. Addressing these factors can reduce uncertainties and promote wider adoption of digital health technologies. The findings highlight the need for future research on patient empowerment and the development of methodologies beyond traditional therapeutic outcomes.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Strengthening shared decision-making in mental healthcare may improve quality of services and treatment outcomes, but its implementation in services for severe mental disorders is currently lacking.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the mobile app iTandem as a digital tool promoting shared decision-making in treatment for psychotic disorders. In addition, the study aims to investigate mechanisms that enable the intended effect of the app. iTandem is a mobile app developed as a therapy supplement that facilitates patient involvement in decisions regarding treatment goals and focus areas. It is designed for personalized use and contains eight optional modules: sleep, medication, recovery, mood, psychosis, activity, substance use, and feedback concerning therapy.

METHODS

Patients undergoing assessment or treatment for psychotic disorders and their clinicians were recruited to the study. The patients and the clinicians jointly used iTandem as part of the standard treatment in a six week-trial. Using a mixed methods design, feasibility and acceptability measures were assessed with descriptive statistics based on app usage data and pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, in addition to a reflexive thematic analysis of post-intervention interviews.

RESULTS

Nine patients and eight clinicians completed the trial. The participants evaluated iTandem as a user-friendly and acceptable tool, but there were considerable variations in how the app was integrated in treatment and in perceptions of its clinical value. The thematic analysis suggests that iTandem promoted shared decision-making by supporting cognition and shifting the patient role. It also identified scaffolding structures, an analogy of personalised support, as a precondition for the overall feasibility and acceptability of the intervention.

CONCLUSIONS

iTandem generally functioned as a feasible and acceptable digital promoter of shared decision-making in treatment for patients with psychotic disorders. Our findings suggest that non-clinical aspects, such as support structures, digital habits and personal styles of relating to others are important in evaluations of patients’ aptness for digitalised treatment. Future research should explore these general parameters further, as opposed to grouping potential users based on diagnoses and symptom severity.
The Influence of Popular Media on Public Interest in Red Light Therapy and Implications for Evidence-Based Practice (Preprint)
Authors: Shen Catherine , Zhao Aaron T
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Social media platforms, particularly TikTok, have emerged as influential sources of medical information and treatment trends. In early 2024, red light therapy gained substantial attention on TikTok for skincare applications, despite limited scientific understanding of its long-term effects and safety profile with home use.

OBJECTIVE

To quantify the impact of TikTok exposure on public interest in red light therapy and compare interest trends with conventional skincare treatments.

METHODS

We analyzed Google Trends data from November 2019 to November 2024 for red light therapy-related terms and control terms. Statistical analyses included trend analysis and structural break detection.

RESULTS

Search interest for red light therapy terms showed significant increases post-February 2024 (p<0.001) compared to the previous year. Linear regression revealed significant positive trends for red light therapy terms while control terms showed either no significant trends or slight declines.

CONCLUSIONS

TikTok's influence significantly increased public interest in red light therapy, surpassing traditional skincare treatments. These findings highlight social media's role in shaping healthcare trends and underscore the need for healthcare providers to stay informed about viral treatments.
How labelling of commercial baby foods impacts parents’ beliefs about sugar content and related purchasing and feeding decisions: A scoping review protocol (Preprint)
Authors: Conway Rana , Denning Tiffany , Steptoe Andrew , Llewellyn Clare
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Infants and young children in the UK exceed guidelines for maximum sugar intake. Many parents choose commercial baby foods believing these to be a healthy option. However, surveys show many products contain high levels of added or free sugar, despite labelling suggesting they are ‘natural’ and ‘healthy’. Current labeling may mislead parents about products’ sugar content. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive understanding of the range of changes to commercial baby food labels that might best support parents to choose healthier foods for their children.

OBJECTIVE

This scoping review will assess the published and unpublished evidence base to understand what is known about how labelling of baby foods impacts parents’ beliefs about a product’s sugar content and related purchasing and feeding decisions.

METHODS

JBI guidelines for scoping review methodology will be followed and results will be reported using PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The Population, Concept and Context (PCC) framework will be used to determine eligibility criteria. An initial search of MEDLINE (Ovid) and Embase (Ovid) was conducted to develop a full search strategy for MEDLINE (Ovid), which is presented here. In addition to MEDLINE (Ovid) and Embase (Ovid), we will search PsycINFO (Ovid), CINAHL (Ebsco), Web of Science (Core Collection) and Cochrane Library. Unpublished reports will be identified using Google, Google Scholar, relevant websites, policy statements and government reports, and by contacting relevant government and third-sector organisations. In a two-stage process, two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts, and then full texts. Reference lists of included studies will also be searched. One reviewer will then extract data and a second will verify accuracy. Findings will be presented in tables and diagrams, accompanied by a narrative summary.

RESULTS

The search process produced 2071 records in May 2024. Following deduplication, 1123 results remained. The scoping review will draw together information about parents’ beliefs about sugar in infant food products and related purchasing decisions, including the role of marketing messages and sugar warning labels.

CONCLUSIONS

This scoping review will provide knowledge to inform the development of policies to support parents’ to make healthier food choices for their infants.
When should I rotate? Clerkship timing of students who successfully match in OBGYN (Preprint)
Authors: Dotters-Katz Sarah K. , Schroeder Brooke , Rusk Debra , Avery Lori , Sutton Jill M. , Hou Melody Y. , Shanks Anthony
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Medical students are routinely advised to rotate in their specialty of interest later in the year, likely to gain clinical experience, improve their clerkship performance, and therefore garner positive recommendations or performance reviews. However, there is little research to support this guidance.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to examine a large multi-institutional cohort of students who matched into OBGYN, to determine if there are any differences in match rates based on rotation timing.

METHODS

In this IRB-approved retrospective cohort study, we included 204 students who matched in OBGYN from five geographically diverse medical schools between 2019 and 2023. The academic year was divided into trimesters due to varied rotation lengths among schools. We utilized bivariate statistics and regression models, to examine the percentage of students matching in each trimester, as well as the percentage of students rotating during the first block of the academic year.

RESULTS

After controlling for race and gender identity, there was no significant difference in match rates for OBGYN between those who rotated early in the clerkship year and those who rotated later. Students from schools without choice in timing were more likely to rotate in the first trimester.

CONCLUSIONS

For this cohort, there is no difference in match rates into OBGYN based on the timing of their core rotation.

EL VALOR INTRÍNSECO COMO PREMISA EPISTÉMICA PARA ENTENDER LOS DERECHOS DE LA NATURALEZA
Authors: Barraza Guerrero Alan David
Published: January 2025

Este artículo expone una línea argumentativa tendiente a guiar el análisis y crítica sobre los derechos de la naturaleza en un contexto iusfilosófico, desde la premisa del valor intrínseco, recogido de proposiciones teoréticas que lo describen y explican. Ello, en virtud de la confusión conceptual que se suscita en los diversos debates intelectuales entre juristas y operadores jurídicos para identificar la naturaleza, alcance y clasificación de dichos derechos desde la propia dogmática jurídica y los estudios de derecho. Por lo cual, es ambiguo dicho proceso dialógico académico que impide su correcto abordaje y estudio.

Authors: Kotenko Mykola , Ruslan Karagioz , Sopilko Iryna , Andrusiv Valerii , Yermakova Hanna
Published: January 2025

The current paper intends to examine the issue of information protection, particularly personal data, based on positive international experience, aiming to revise and improve personal information protection provisions in Ukraine. Since conventional norms necessitate the use of the evolutionary interpretation approach in the context of the dynamic development of societal life, the study’s materials were international legal regulations and the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union case law. Thus, notable cases were examined in order to shed light on the developing comprehension of sensitive data and the need for enhanced security. The analysis of the court practises regarding personal data protection was conducted using a combination of general scientific and specific legal methods, namely dialectical, analytical, formal-dogmatic, comparative-legal, systemic and predictive methods. As a result of the research, key standards for personal data protection were identified, and recommendations for improving Ukrainian legislation, particularly in terms of clarity and certainty, were developed. Recognising potential implementation challenges, the article advocates for ongoing research in this field to refine and strengthen personal data protection mechanisms in Ukraine.

Web-based Environmental Reporting: Evidence from Listed Manufacturing Companies in Bangladesh
Authors: ISLAM MD. ZAHEDUL , DEY MOURI , JANNAT MD. ZAHIDUL ISLAM CHOWDHURY
Published: January 2025

Research aim: Businesses worldwide are attempting to exhibit accountability and efficacy
in addressing the threat of severe environmental imbalances. Understanding the underlying
issues responsible for environmental disclosures in digital media is essential to improve its
status. This research investigates the environmental performance of manufacturing firms
and evaluates the corporate governance factors that affect these disclosure practices.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: This research applies multinomial logistic regression to
deduce the nature of the connection between environmental disclosures made public on the
web on 71 disclosure aspects or issues and corporate governance by collecting information
from the websites of 193 listed manufacturing companies.
Research finding: The findings imply that board size, CEO duality, and foreign ownership
have a major impact on web-based environmental reporting.
Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study integrates legitimacy theory and agency
theory to understand the importance of efficient corporate governance in disclosing
environmental information, thereby mitigating information asymmetry and voluntarily
meeting stakeholder expectations.
Practitioner/Policy implication: Corporate governance may develop best practices to
guarantee that the online platform of voluntary environmental reporting creates a credible
environment for exposing information to end users, resulting in a more comprehensive
evaluation of company prospects.
Research limitation: This study focuses on specific corporate governance characteristics.
Other predictors can be considered to ensure better practices, such as the number of board
meetings, educational quality of board members, stakeholder activism, political intervention,
industry-specific environmental policy, etc. Moreover, longitudinal studies could offer
further insights into the relationship between governance and environmental reporting.

Published: January 2025

This study explores the multifaceted challenges faced by the Muslim communities in Hong Kong and Macau, two cities characterized by their unique colonial histories and contemporary socio-economic dynamics. Despite the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom, Muslims in these regions encounter significant barriers to integration, including social prejudices, economic hardships, and limited access to educational resources. The objective of this research is to analyse these challenges and their implications for the Muslim population, utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis. The findings reveal a persistent cycle of poverty exacerbated by misconceptions about Islam and cultural differences, highlighting the urgent need for targeted government interventions and community engagement strategies. This research underscores the importance of fostering ethnic harmony and enhancing the visibility of Muslim contributions to society, ultimately recommending a collaborative approach involving local authorities, community leaders, and educational institutions to promote inclusivity and understanding.
Traditional or advanced machine learning approaches: Which one is better for housing price prediction and uncertainty risk reduction?
Authors: Tran Long Phi , Le Hoang Duc , Phuong Ta Thu , Nguyen Dung Chi
Published: January 2025

Predicting housing prices is particularly of interest to many scholars and policymakers. However, housing prices are highly volatile and difficult to predict. This study used both traditional and advanced machine learning (ML) approaches to address the issue of housing price prediction. This study involves and compares the predictive power between advanced ML models, including random forest, gradient boosting, k-nearest neighbors (KNN), bagged classification and regression trees (CART), and traditional ML models based on linear regression and its modifications. Notably, in this study, we employed both performance metrics, including the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R2), and k-fold cross-validation (CV) procedure in order to investigate the predictive performance of each model. Empirically, based on a dataset comprising 78,704 real estate sales in Hanoi, Vietnam, we find that advanced ML approaches outperform traditional approaches. Specifically, advanced ML models enhance the accuracy of house price prediction and the decision-making process related to housing buying and selling activities. Our findings also reveal that among advanced ML algorithms, the random forest algorithm performs better than the other models in predicting housing prices.

Комментарий к стихотворению Пастернака «Последний день Помпеи» [Annotations to Boris Pasternak’s Poem “The Last Day of Pompeii”]
Authors: Dolinin Alexander
Published: January 2025

The article offers a close reading and contextual analysis of Boris Pasternak’s poem “The Last Day of Pompeii” (1915). Its title borrowed from Karl Briullov’s famous painting is misleading as it has nothing to do either with the Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius or with the painting but alludes to the defeats of Russian troops at the Western front and a political crisis in the country as clear signs of the imminent demise (“the last day”) of the Russian empire. Pasternak’s apocalyptic imagery parallels a prophesy in Mayakovsky’s contemporaneous A Cloud in Trousers (also 1915) where the poet predicted that 1916 would be the year of revolutions in Russia.

KEYWORDS: Lazar Fleishman at 80, 20th-Century Russian Literature, Boris Pasternak (1890—1960), Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893—1930), Pompeii, Apocalyptic Imagery, “Great Retreat” of 1915, Russian Revolution, Close Reading, History of Literature.
