Published: August 2024

The study aims to perform a comprehensive assessment of emergency fire risks when drilling oil and gas wells for open flowing of the well with gas flare combustion and the combustion caused by diesel fuel spills. The object is a well site of the oil and gas condensate field in the Irkutsk region. A retrospective analysis of emergency situations during oil and gas well drilling identified the most frequent types of accident - fires at oil and gas production facilities, open fountains and emissions from wells. Scenarios for these accidents were developed and event trees were built. Using them, options with the greatest possible damage caused by a fire were identified. The intensity of thermal radiation was estimated at various distances from the center of the flare with open flowing of the well with the gas flare combustion. The intensity of thermal radiation during a fire caused by diesel fuel spills was calculated for the destruction of three RVS-50 tanks. Safe distances from the accident site and possible fatal injuries to the personnel were identified.

Authors: Li Ran , Li Hang , Lv Mou , Wang Cong , Cheng Yaoyao
Published: August 2024

Aiming at the problem that cascade pressurized pump stations in mountainous areas are more prone to pump shutdown accidents compared to single-stage pressurized pump stations. Various pump shutdown accidents that may occur in the pressurized water supply system of the cascade pumping station were analyzed in a targeted manner. Additionally, it was also explored that in addition to water hammer protection measures, remote-control measures for water pumps based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) may be used to reduce the severity of accidents. A single-factor experimental method was used to numerically analyze various accident conditions of a simplified model of a three-stage series pressurized water delivery system consisting of a water intake pump station, a midway pump station, and a final-stage pump station, without water hammer protection devices. The impact of different control variables on the transient hydraulic calculations of pumping stations at all levels was evaluated. The results showed that optimizing the precedence of shutdowns, and the sequential shutdown times of each stage pump station could be assisted to some extent in water hammer protection by the PLC. This provides technical support and detailed optimization for the scientific control of cascade booster pumping stations in mountainous areas.

Published: August 2024

Background

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease that was first identified in mainland China in 2009 and has been reported in Zhejiang Province, China, since 2011. However, few studies have focused on the association between ticks, host animals, and SFTS.

Objective

In this study, we analyzed the influence of meteorological and environmental factors as well as the influence of ticks and host animals on SFTS. This can serve as a foundational basis for the development of strategic policies aimed at the prevention and control of SFTS.

Methods

Data on SFTS incidence, tick density, cattle density, and meteorological and environmental factors were collected and analyzed using a maximum entropy–based model.

Results

As of December 2019, 463 laboratory-confirmed SFTS cases were reported in Zhejiang Province. We found that the density of ticks, precipitation in the wettest month, average temperature, elevation, and the normalized difference vegetation index were significantly associated with SFTS spatial distribution. The niche model fitted accurately with good performance in predicting the potential risk areas of SFTS (the average test area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the replicate runs was 0.803 and the SD was 0.013). The risk of SFTS occurrence increased with an increase in tick density, and the response curve indicated that the risk was greater than 0.5 when tick density exceeded 1.4. The risk of SFTS occurrence decreased with increased precipitation in the wettest month, and the risk was less than 0.5 when precipitation exceeded 224.4 mm. The relationship between elevation and SFTS occurrence showed a reverse V shape, and the risk peaked at approximately 400 m.

Conclusions

Tick density, precipitation, and elevation were dominant influencing factors for SFTS, and comprehensive intervention measures should be adjusted according to these factors to reduce SFTS incidence in Zhejiang Province.

Authors: Lally Phillippa , May Christine N , Mitchell E Siobhan , McCallum Meaghan , Michaelides Andreas , Fisher Abigail
Published: August 2024

Background

Accessible self-management interventions are required to support people living with breast cancer.

Objective

This was an industry-academic partnership study that aimed to collect qualitative user experience data of a prototype app with built-in peer and coach support designed to support the management of health behaviors and weight in women living with breast cancer.

Methods

Participants were aged ≥18 years, were diagnosed with breast cancer of any stage within the last 5 years, had completed active treatment, and were prescribed oral hormone therapy. Participants completed demographic surveys and were asked to use the app for 4 weeks. Following this, they took part in in-depth qualitative interviews about their experiences. These were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results

Eight participants (mean age, 45 years; mean time since diagnosis, 32 months) were included. Of the 8 participants, 7 (88%) were white, 6 (75%) had a graduate degree or above, and 6 (75%) had stage I-III breast cancer. Four overarching themes were identified: (1) Support for providing an app earlier in the care pathway; (2) Desire for more weight-focused content tailored to the breast cancer experience; (3) Tracking of health behaviors that are generally popular; and (4) High value of in-app social support.

Conclusions

This early user experience work showed that women with breast cancer found an app with integrated social and psychological support appealing to receive support for behavior change and weight management or self-management. However, many features were recommended for further development. This work is the first step in an academic-industry collaboration that would ultimately aim to develop and empirically test a supportive app that could be integrated into the cancer care pathway.
The Opportunities and Risks of Large Language Models in Mental Health
Authors: Lawrence Hannah R , Schneider Renee A , Rubin Susan B , Matarić Maja J , McDuff Daniel J , Jones Bell Megan
Published: August 2024

Global rates of mental health concerns are rising, and there is increasing realization that existing models of mental health care will not adequately expand to meet the demand. With the emergence of large language models (LLMs) has come great optimism regarding their promise to create novel, large-scale solutions to support mental health. Despite their nascence, LLMs have already been applied to mental health–related tasks. In this paper, we summarize the extant literature on efforts to use LLMs to provide mental health education, assessment, and intervention and highlight key opportunities for positive impact in each area. We then highlight risks associated with LLMs’ application to mental health and encourage the adoption of strategies to mitigate these risks. The urgent need for mental health support must be balanced with responsible development, testing, and deployment of mental health LLMs. It is especially critical to ensure that mental health LLMs are fine-tuned for mental health, enhance mental health equity, and adhere to ethical standards and that people, including those with lived experience with mental health concerns, are involved in all stages from development through deployment. Prioritizing these efforts will minimize potential harms to mental health and maximize the likelihood that LLMs will positively impact mental health globally.

Authors: Stephan Daniel , Bertsch Annika , Burwinkel Matthias , Vinayahalingam Shankeeth , Al-Nawas Bilal , Kämmerer Peer W , Thiem Daniel GE
Published: August 2024

Background

Structured and standardized documentation is critical for accurately recording diagnostic findings, treatment plans, and patient progress in health care. Manual documentation can be labor-intensive and error-prone, especially under time constraints, prompting interest in the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to automate and optimize these processes, particularly in medical documentation.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT (OpenAI) in generating radiology reports from dental panoramic radiographs, comparing the performance of AI-generated reports with those manually created by dental students.

Methods

A total of 100 dental students were tasked with analyzing panoramic radiographs and generating radiology reports manually or assisted by ChatGPT using a standardized prompt derived from a diagnostic checklist.

Results

Reports generated by ChatGPT showed a high degree of textual similarity to reference reports; however, they often lacked critical diagnostic information typically included in reports authored by students. Despite this, the AI-generated reports were consistent in being error-free and matched the readability of student-generated reports.

Conclusions

The findings from this study suggest that ChatGPT has considerable potential for generating radiology reports, although it currently faces challenges in accuracy and reliability. This underscores the need for further refinement in the AI’s prompt design and the development of robust validation mechanisms to enhance its use in clinical settings.
Effectiveness and User Experience of a Smoking Cessation Chatbot: Mixed Methods Study Comparing Motivational Interviewing and Confrontational Counseling (Preprint)
Authors: He Linwei , Basar Erkan , Krahmer Emiel , Wiers Reinout , Antheunis Marjolijn
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Cigarette smoking poses a major public health risk. Chatbots may serve as an accessible and useful tool to promote cessation due to their high accessibility and potential in facilitating long-term personalized interactions. To increase effectiveness and acceptability, there remains a need to identify and evaluate counseling strategies for these chatbots, an aspect that has not been comprehensively addressed in previous research.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to identify effective counseling strategies for such chatbots to support smoking cessation. In addition, we sought to gain insights into smokers’ expectations of and experiences with the chatbot.

METHODS

This mixed methods study incorporated a web-based experiment and semistructured interviews. Smokers (N=229) interacted with either a motivational interviewing (MI)–style (n=112, 48.9%) or a confrontational counseling–style (n=117, 51.1%) chatbot. Both cessation-related (ie, intention to quit and self-efficacy) and user experience–related outcomes (ie, engagement, therapeutic alliance, perceived empathy, and interaction satisfaction) were assessed. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 16 participants, 8 (50%) from each condition, and data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

RESULTS

Results from a multivariate ANOVA showed that participants had a significantly higher overall rating for the MI (vs confrontational counseling) chatbot. Follow-up discriminant analysis revealed that the better perception of the MI chatbot was mostly explained by the user experience–related outcomes, with cessation-related outcomes playing a lesser role. Exploratory analyses indicated that smokers in both conditions reported increased intention to quit and self-efficacy after the chatbot interaction. Interview findings illustrated several constructs (eg, affective attitude and engagement) explaining people’s previous expectations and timely and retrospective experience with the chatbot.

CONCLUSIONS

The results confirmed that chatbots are a promising tool in motivating smoking cessation and the use of MI can improve user experience. We did not find extra support for MI to motivate cessation and have discussed possible reasons. Smokers expressed both relational and instrumental needs in the quitting process. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Authors: Bhundoo Adelle Kemlall , Pillay Julian David , Wilke Jan
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Regular engagement in exercise is associated with a multitude of physical and mental health benefits. In view of the technical progress, the ageing society and the recent public life restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the delivery of interventions using digital devices has become highly popular. This systematic review with meta-analysis examined the effects of online exercise programs on physical activity (PA), motor performance, and mental health.

OBJECTIVE

To examine the effects of online exercise programs on physical activity (PA), motor performance, and mental health.

METHODS

A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Cochrane and Google Scholar. Randomized, controlled trials assessing the effects of online exercise (OE) vs. no exercise (NEX) or face-to-face exercise (FFE) in healthy adults were included. Effect sizes (standardized mean difference/SMD) were pooled using robust variance estimation and the certainty about the evidence was rated by means of the GRADE criteria.

RESULTS

A total of 18 articles with moderate to high methodological quality (8/11 points on the PEDro scale) were identified. OE was superior to NEX regarding strength (SMD=0.61), balance (SMD=0.52), endurance (SMD=0.85), PA (SMD=0.46), depression (SMD=1.08), mood/emotion (SMD=0.47), mental wellbeing (SMD=0.79), and self-efficacy (SMD=1.1). Compared to FFE, OE was non-inferior for all tested outcomes. The certainty about the evidence was low to moderate.

CONCLUSIONS

OE represents an effective strategy to improve PA, physical function and mental health in healthy adults. However, in view of the partly limited certainty about the evidence, additional well-designed studies are warranted to further delineate the value of OE.

Authors: Kusuma Devi
Published: August 2024

Transmission of HIV infection from pregnant women to babies can be prevented with the Prevention of HIV Transmission from Mother to Child (PPIA) Program. However, in its implementation, four Community Health Centers in Gresik Regency have not met HIV testing requirements. Therefore, to achieve these standards, a study of the factors that influence the performance of the PPIA workforce is required. This research aims to identify factors that influence the performance of PPIA workers. Data were collected using a total sampling technique using a questionnaire on a sample of 45. Next, hypothesis testing was carried out. The research results show that most PPIA workers at the Gresik Regency Health Center perform poorly, while their knowledge tends to be low. There is no significant relationship between length of service, motivation, or leadership and the performance of the PPIA workforce. This indicates problems in understanding, motivation, and leadership in the work environment. Improvement efforts, such as designing human resource management (HR) strategies and developing the health workers' competencies, are needed. The results of this research can be used to design strategies to increase human resources to increase HIV testing outcomes for pregnant women and reduce HIV transmission from pregnant women to babies.

CONSTRUIR UMA PEDAGOGIA PARA A ECONOMIA SOLIDÁRIA: POR UMA NOVA GRAMÁTICA DE ITINERÁRIO FORMATIVO
Authors: Nogueira Sandra Vidal , Bolter Serli Genz
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo revisita o pensamento de Moacir Gadotti (2009), ao argumentar sobre a necessidade de se vislumbrar a Economia Solidária como ato pedagógico. Desde, então, há consenso de que os sentidos atribuídos para a Economia Solidária são de oportunizar a consolidação de novas territorialidades, a partir de uma “visão geopolítica ampliada da vida”. Entende-se, com isto, que a defesa pela Economia Solidária vai muito além da possibilidade de geração de renda, porque alcança, também, os itinerários formativos sobre as variadas formas de produzir, buscando alternativas organizacionais ao desemprego crescente dentro dos quadros do trabalho formal, a partir da reestruturação produtiva brasileira de 1970-1980. Coloca-se, portanto, em oposição à ideia de produzir somente para acumular e de acumular para fins de angariar poder e dominação. Traduzem, assim, a vontade legitimada pela conquista de novos direitos e sua institucionalização, sendo uma importante força motriz para os movimentos sociais contemporâneos, com desdobramentos teóricos, sociais, econômicos e políticos igualmente concretos.
Salmonellae in the air environment: A review
Authors: Awad Abdel Hameed A.
Published: August 2024

Salmonella bacteria, a zoonotic pathogen, are frequently transmitted through food and water, causing foodborne outbreaks and illnesses. Bioaerosols are a growing concern as pathogenic microorganisms could be transmitted to the indoor and ambient air environments. The airborne transmission of pathogenic microorganisms is considered a risk of contamination or a route of infection. Salmonella have been found in rare numbers in the air, but their detection indicate their ability to survive in the air environment. Physical, biological and environmental stressors affect the survival of airborne microorganisms. The infectivity of airborne Salmonella is determined by its pathogenicity, infective dose and individual health conditions. The accurate assessment of Salmonella in aerosols is a problem due to the synergistic influence of many uncontrollable environmental conditions and a lack of standardized analysis and sampling protocols. Knowledge of the airborne transmission of Salmonella and factors influencing their viability is critical to understanding their potential health risk and the related control measures. This review provides evidence for the transmission of Salmonella in different air environments, focusing on the presence of Salmonella in the air as a risk of biocontamination. The sampling, detection and enumeration methodologies of Salmonella in the air are discussed with recommended mitigation and control strategies.

Published: August 2024

As a specific breastfeeding practice, the proportion of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia remains below the intended indicator. Education about breastfeeding techniques aims to increase success in providing exclusive breastfeeding by increasing mothers' knowledge and skills in breastfeeding their babies. The goal of this study is to find out how the Jambi City Health Center's breastfeeding education program affects moms' confidence and nursing behavior. Mothers who had just given birth or were nursing their babies participated in this study. Using a control group and a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test measures, the study used a quantitative methodology. Using accidental sampling, 25 respondents from the treatment and control groups made up the sample. The variables measured are maternal behavior and self-efficacy. The measuring instruments used were the breastfeeding action instrument and the BSES-FS. The treatment group's behavioral results produced a p-value of 0.001 (<0.05) according to statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test, while the control group's p-value was 0.629 (>0.05). In a similar vein, the treatment group's p-value for self-efficacy outcomes was 0.001 (<0.05), but the control group's was 0.122 (>0.05). These findings imply that nursing moms' behavior and self-efficacy are significantly impacted by teaching packages on breastfeeding procedures delivered by video and booklet medium. In particular, compared to the control group that did not get the intervention, the treatment group, who did receive the intervention, exhibited improved behavior and greater levels of self-efficacy.

Presensi adalah kegiatan pengumpulan data untuk mencatat jumlah kehadiran mahasiswa di kampus. Setiap aktivitas yang berkaitan dengan informasi tentang jumlah peserta pasti akan melibatkan presensi. Merancang prototipe sistem presensi mahasiswa menggunakan sensor Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) berbasis Arduino Uno. Sistem RFID ini mencakup elemen tag dan pembaca. Tag digunakan sebagai alternatif kartu ID, sementara pembaca berfungsi untuk mengambil informasi tentang kehadiran mahasiswa. Alat yang dikembangkan terhubung dengan basis data kehadiran mahasiswa dan bertindak sebagai pengganti sistem absensi manual. Basis data kehadiran diintegrasikan dengan perangkat lunak PLX-DAQ. Integrasi dengan basis data memungkinkan penyimpanan data secara otomatis, memudahkan administrasi dalam merekam kehadiran mahasiswa. Alat dapat memberikan informasi kehadiran berdasarkan data masuk dan pulang mahasiswa. Penggunaan Real Time Clock DS3231 memastikan akurasi penghitungan waktu dari detik hingga tahun, dengan kemampuan penyimpanan data secara real-time.
