Published: October 2020

BackgroundMore than 90% of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers could be prevented by widespread uptake of the HPV vaccine, yet vaccine use in the United States falls short of public health goals.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to describe the development, acceptability, and intention to use the mobile app Vaccipack, which was designed to promote uptake and completion of the adolescent HPV vaccine series.MethodsDevelopment of the mobile health (mHealth) content was based on the integrated behavioral model (IBM). The technology acceptance model (TAM) was used to guide the app usability evaluation. App design utilized an iterative process involving providers and potential users who were parents and adolescents. App features include a vaccine-tracking function, a discussion forum, and stories with embedded messages to promote intention to vaccinate. Parents and adolescents completed surveys before and after introducing the app in a pediatric primary care setting with low HPV vaccination rates.ResultsSurveys were completed by 54 participants (20 adolescents aged 11 to 14 years and 34 parents). Notably, 75% (15/20) of adolescents and 88% (30/34) of parents intended to use the app in the next 2 weeks. Acceptability of the app was high among both groups: 88% (30/34) of parents and 75% (15/20) of adolescents indicated that Vaccipack was easy to use, and 82% (28/34) of parents and 85% (17/20) of adolescents perceived the app to be beneficial. Higher levels of app acceptability were found among parents with strong intentions to use the app (P=.09; 95% CI –2.15 to 0.15).ConclusionsmHealth technology, such as Vaccipack, may be an acceptable and nimble platform for providing information to parents and adolescents and advancing the uptake of important vaccines.

Background
Hospital stays after major surgery are shorter than ever before. Although enhanced recovery and early discharge have many benefits, some complications will now first manifest themselves in home settings. Remote patient monitoring with wearable sensors in the first days after hospital discharge may capture clinical deterioration earlier but is largely uncharted territory.

Objective
This study aimed to assess the technical feasibility of patients, discharged after esophagectomy, being remotely monitored at home with a wireless patch sensor and the experiences of these patients. In addition, we determined whether observing vital signs with a wireless patch sensor influences clinical decision making.

Methods
In an observational feasibility study, vital signs of patients were monitored with a wearable patch sensor (VitalPatch, VitalConnect Inc) during the first 7 days at home after esophagectomy and discharge from hospital. Vital signs trends were shared with the surgical team once a day, and they were asked to check the patient’s condition by phone each morning. Patient experiences were evaluated with a questionnaire, and technical feasibility was analyzed on a daily basis as the percentage of data loss and gap durations. In addition, the number of patients for whom a change in clinical decision was made based on the results of remote vital signs monitoring at home was assessed.

Results
Patients (N=20) completed 7 days each of home monitoring with the wearable patch sensor. Each of the patients had good recovery at home, and remotely observed vital signs trends did not alter clinical decision making. Patients appreciated that surgeons checked their vital signs daily (mean 4.4/5) and were happy to be called by the surgical team each day (mean 4.5/5). Wearability of the patch was high (mean 4.4/5), and no reports of skin irritation were mentioned. Overall data loss of vital signs measurements at home was 25%; both data loss and gap duration varied considerably among patients.

Conclusions
Remote monitoring of vital signs combined with telephone support from the surgical team was feasible and well perceived by all patients. Future studies need to evaluate the impact of home monitoring on patient outcome as well as the cost-effectiveness of this new approach.
An experimental study on variability of deformation characteristics of concrete in compression
Authors: Plyusnin Mixail G. , Tsybakin Sergey V. 
Published: October 2020

Introduction. An experimental study on variability of deformation characteristics of concrete and an assessment of its influence on the bearing capacity of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete elements were performed. In pursuance of effective regulatory documents, a non-linear deformation model was applied to perform the strength analysis of standard cross sections of reinforced concrete structures. The application of this method in probabilistic design is also of interest. Analytical functions approximating the true σ–ε diagram, made for concrete, use strength and deformation characteristics of concrete as parameters. However, variability of deformation characteristics of concrete has not been sufficiently studied, although it may have significant influence on results of analyses.
Materials and methods. Complete σ–ε diagrams were made for uniaxially compressed concrete to solve this problem. These diagrams were applied to numerically assess the influence of variability of deformation characteristics of concrete on the bearing capacity of an eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete element in terms of its standard cross section. A non-linear deformation model was used to identify the bearing capacity.
Results. The experiment has proven substantial variation of diagram shapes within the same strength class. The influence of the εb0 value of ultimate deformations of concrete on the bearing capacity is demonstrated for a standard cross section as a result of the strength analysis of an eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete element. The strength analysis was performed by applying experimental σ–ε diagrams made for uniaxially compressed concrete.
Conclusions. The analysis of the findings has shown that the value of ultimate deformations of concrete exposed to uniaxial compression affects the bearing capacity of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete elements. The degree of influence depends on concrete strength, reinforcement percentage and the eccentricity of a longitudinal force.

Published: October 2020

Las relaciones existentes entre la sociedad y los ecosistemas naturales son complejas y es necesario entenderlas para emprender acciones que contribuyan a un manejo sustentable. Con el objetivo de evaluar la influencia de algunas actividades antropogénicas sobre los ecosistemas que integran el Ãrea Natural Protegida Sierra Fría se condujeron 20 entrevistas, 10 de ellas dirigidas a propietarios y 10 a los manejadores de los predios. El formato de entrevista incluyó los tiempos: pasado, presente y futuro, para analizar las actividades y fenómenos causantes de las alteraciones en el paisaje. Se realizaron análisis radiales para observar las principales amenazas y detectar los recursos bióticos más usados. Los resultados muestran que los disturbios más fuertes disminuyeron en las décadas de los 70 y 90 del siglo XX. Actualmente, la extracción de leña muerta, cacería cinegética y los saneamientos forestales, son las actividades de manejo más importantes, mientras que las principales amenazas son la fragmentación del hábitat y la extinción de fauna silvestre. Los recursos bióticos más usados son la fauna silvestre y los encinos (Quercus spp.), madroños (Arbutus spp.) y táscates (Juniperus spp.), como recursos maderables. Los resultados obtenidos servirán para diseñar estrategias de manejo con una visión socio-ecosistémica en la Sierra Fría, Aguascalientes.

Authors: Akour Mutasem M. , Hammad Bashar K. 
Published: October 2020

Student evaluation of teaching is a global predominant practice in higher education institutions. Therefore, a major university in Jordan developed a questionnaire for students’ use in evaluating their instructors’ teaching effectiveness. Since student evaluation of teaching is an important process, the present study tried to examine the psychometric properties of the instrument. Item-total correlations showed acceptable internal consistency. In addition, a two-factor structure of the scale (teaching effectiveness and course attributes) was supported by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis from two independent samples. Convergent validity was supported by a moderate correlation coefficient between course averages of students’ ratings on the first factor and course averages of students’ final grades in each course. Finally, students’ responses on the factor that captures teaching effectiveness were found to have very high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.96). However, this instrument lacks evidences of content validity and convergent validity. Therefore, it is important to be cautious in evaluating faculty members and making promotion decisions that is based solely on the scores obtained using this instrument.

Published: October 2020

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), zinc oxide (ZnO), cadmium oxide (CdO) and tin (Sn) were synthesized by laser ablation of a solid target in de-ionized water (DI). X-ray diffraction patterns showed the formation of AgO, Ag, Cu, ZnO, CdO, and Sn NPs. Absorbance spectrum of the produced nanoparticles was measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer which showed that Ag and CdO NPs shifted to the short wavelength (blue shift), indicating the formation of NPs with smaller sizes, whereas CuO showed the formation two peaks. ZnO and Sn NPs shifted to the long wavelength (red shift) which indicates the formation NPs with larger size. Zeta potential results proved that ZnO nanoparticles were more stable (-26.53mV) than the other metal nanoparticles, while CdO nanoparticles had more aggregation (-16.65mV).

Published: October 2020

Aluminum doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (AZO) with different doping concentrations were prepared by Nd-YAG laser ablation of target in deionized water. The characterization of these nanoparticles was performed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminance spectroscopy (PL). FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of vibrational bonds for ZnO NPs and AZO NPs. SEM images illustrated that the size and shape of the NPs changed with changing the number of laser pulses. Photoluminescence peaks exhibited two emission peaks, one at the UV region and the second in the visible region, which were modified as the number of laser pulses and doping concentration were changed.

Published: October 2020

Objective To investigate the relationship between repeated clinical measures and the progression of rehabilitation of male athletes with acute adductor injuries. Design Prospective observational cohort study. Methods Male athletes with acute adductor injuries received a standardized criteria-based rehabilitation program with 4 repeated clinical measures during rehabilitation: the extent of palpation pain (length and width in centimeters), the bent-knee fall-out test (BKFO; in centimeters), hip abduction range of motion (in degrees), and eccentric hip adduction strength (in Newton meters per kilogram). We analyzed the association between each clinical measure and the percent progression of rehabilitation until return to sport (RTS), divided into 2 RTS milestones: (1) clinically pain free, and (2) completion of controlled sports training. Results The analyses included 61 male athletes for RTS milestone 1 and 50 athletes for RTS milestone 2, and 381 to 675 tests were performed for each clinical measure. The median time to RTS milestones 1 and 2 was 15 days (interquartile range, 12–29 days) and 24 days (interquartile range, 16–34 days), respectively. Each repeated clinical measure individually explained 13% to 36% of the variance in rehabilitation progression to the RTS milestones. The extent of palpation pain explained the highest variance of the progression of rehabilitation (R2 = 0.26–0.27 for length and R2 = 0.36 for width, P<.001). Eccentric adduction strength (R2 = 0.19–0.27, P<.001) improved throughout rehabilitation, whereas the flexibility tests (BKFO, R2 = 0.13–0.15; P<.001 and hip abduction range of motion, R2 = 0.19–0.21; P<.001) returned to normal values early in rehabilitation. Conclusion Repeated measures of adductor strength, flexibility, and palpation pain provided only a rough impression of rehabilitation progress following acute adductor injuries in male athletes. These clinical measures cannot define a precise recovery point during rehabilitation. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2021;51(3):126–134. Epub 28 Oct 2020. doi:10.2519/jospt.2021.9951
