Methods and Evaluation Criteria for Apps and Digital Interventions for Diabetes Self-Management: Systematic Review
Authors: Larbi Dillys , Randine Pietro , Årsand Eirik , Antypas Konstantinos , Bradway Meghan , Gabarron Elia 
Published: July 2020

Background
There is growing evidence that apps and digital interventions have a positive impact on diabetes self-management. Standard self-management for patients with diabetes could therefore be supplemented by apps and digital interventions to increase patients’ skills. Several initiatives, models, and frameworks suggest how health apps and digital interventions could be evaluated, but there are few standards for this. And although there are many methods for evaluating apps and digital interventions, a more specific approach might be needed for assessing digital diabetes self-management interventions.

Objective
This review aims to identify which methods and criteria are used to evaluate apps and digital interventions for diabetes self-management, and to describe how patients were involved in these evaluations.

Methods
We searched CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Web of Science for articles published from 2015 that referred to the evaluation of apps and digital interventions for diabetes self-management and involved patients in the evaluation. We then conducted a narrative qualitative synthesis of the findings, structured around the included studies’ quality, methods of evaluation, and evaluation criteria.

Results
Of 1681 articles identified, 31 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A total of 7 articles were considered of high confidence in the evidence. Apps were the most commonly used platform for diabetes self-management (18/31, 58%), and type 2 diabetes (T2D) was the targeted health condition most studies focused on (12/31, 38%). Questionnaires, interviews, and user-group meetings were the most common methods of evaluation. Furthermore, the most evaluated criteria for apps and digital diabetes self-management interventions were cognitive impact, clinical impact, and usability. Feasibility and security and privacy were not evaluated by studies considered of high confidence in the evidence.

Conclusions
There were few studies with high confidence in the evidence that involved patients in the evaluation of apps and digital interventions for diabetes self-management. Additional evaluation criteria, such as sustainability and interoperability, should be focused on more in future studies to provide a better understanding of the effects and potential of apps and digital interventions for diabetes self-management.
Utilization Barriers and Medical Outcomes Commensurate With the Use of Telehealth Among Older Adults: Systematic Review
Authors: Kruse Clemens , Fohn Joanna , Wilson Nakia , Nunez Patlan Evangelina , Zipp Stephanie , Mileski Michael 
Published: July 2020

Background
Rising telehealth capabilities and improving access to older adults can aid in improving health outcomes and quality of life indicators. Telehealth is not being used ubiquitously at present.

Objective
This review aimed to identify the barriers that prevent ubiquitous use of telehealth and the ways in which telehealth improves health outcomes and quality of life indicators for older adults.

Methods
This systematic review was conducted and reported in accordance with the Kruse protocol and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Reviewers queried the following four research databases: Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, and Embase (Science Direct). Reviewers analyzed 57 articles, performed a narrative analysis to identify themes, and identified barriers and reports of health outcomes and quality of life indicators found in the literature.

Results
Reviewers analyzed 57 studies across the following five interventions of telehealth: eHealth, mobile health (mHealth), telemonitoring, telecare (phone), and telehealth video calls, with a Cohen κ of 0.75. Reviewers identified 14 themes for barriers. The most common of which were technical literacy (25/144 occurrences, 17%), lack of desire (19/144 occurrences, 13%), and cost (11/144 occurrences, 8%). Reviewers identified 13 medical outcomes associated with telehealth interventions. The most common of which were decrease in psychological stress (21/118 occurrences, 18%), increase in autonomy (18/118 occurrences, 15%), and increase in cognitive ability (11/118 occurrences, 9%). Some articles did not report medical outcomes (18/57, 32%) and some did not report barriers (19/57, 33%).

Conclusions
The literature suggests that the elimination of barriers could increase the prevalence of telehealth use by older adults. By increasing use of telehealth, proximity to care is no longer an issue for access, and thereby care can reach populations with chronic conditions and mobility restrictions. Future research should be conducted on methods for personalizing telehealth in older adults before implementation.

A Second Way to Read McLuhan’s Footnotes to Innis
Authors: Brian Chrystall Andrew 
Published: July 2020

Background Marshall McLuhan claimed his work was a footnote to Harold A. Innis. His claims have been used to argue that McLuhan and Innis offer a coherent system of thought, with a systematic methodology and common set of basic assumptions and presuppositions. This article questions that species of argument and looks to deepen our understanding of the McLuhan-Innis relationship.Analysis McLuhan is read as an analogist, and his footnotes (plural) are interpreted as deliberate violations of normative patterns of academic use in the satiric tradition of Thomas Nashe and the Scriblerus Club.Conclusion and implications McLuhan is repositioned apropos of Innis, figures conventionally associated with the Toronto School of Communication Theory and historians who address themselves to the theme of orality and literacy. This article also invites a reconsideration of McLuhan in relation to the digital era, his contributions to epistemology and understanding media.
Examining How Newcomer Women to Canada Use Social Media for Social Support
Authors: Zaher Zulfia 
Published: July 2020

Background This study utilized an exploratory sequential mixed-method research design to examine how newcomer women in Canada use social media for support to enhance their mental well-being. Analysis The qualitative findings revealed that social media helped these newcomer women both before and after their arrival in Canada. The quantitative results showed that newcomer women mostly use social media for receiving information, followed by esteem support, networking, and emotional support. Conclusion and implications The effectiveness of social media was dependent on the participants’ socioeconomic and migration status. Social media were evidently useful for resisting and coping with stress and contributed to online community connectedness. However, using social media was a source of concern for refugee women due to personal safety, immigration proceedings, and customs.
On Large-Time Behavior of Solutions of Parabolic Equations
Authors: Denisov Vasiliy N. 
Published: July 2020

We study the stabilization of solutions of the Cauchy problem for second-order parabolic equations depending on the behavior of the lower-order coefficients of equations at the infinity and on the growth rate of initial functions. We also consider the stabilization of solution of the first boundary-value problem for a parabolic equation without lower-order coefficients depending on the domain Q where the initial function is defined for t =0.
In the first chapter, we study sufficient conditions for uniform in x on a compact K RN stabilization to zero of the solution of the Cauchy problem with divergent elliptic operator and coefficients independent of t and depending only on x. We consider classes of initial functions:

bounded in RN,
with power growth rate at the infinity in RN,
with exponential order at the infinity.

Using examples, we show that sufficient conditions are sharp and, moreover, do not allow the uniform in RN stabilization to zero of the solution of the Cauchy problem.
In the second chapter, we study the Cauchy problem with elliptic nondivergent operator and coefficients depending on x and t. In different classes of growing initial functions we obtain exact sufficient conditions for stabilization of solutions of the corresponding Cauchy problem uniformly in x on any compact K in RN. We consider examples proving the sharpness of these conditions.
In the third chapter, for the solution of the first boundary-value problem without lower-order terms, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of uniform in x on any compact in Q stabilization to zero in terms of the domain RN \ Q where Q is the definitional domain of the initial function for t =0. We establish the power estimate for the rate of stabilization of the solution of the boundary-value problem with bounded initial function in the case where RN \ Q is a cone for t =0.

In the study, as a result of molecular and classical tests, Phytophthora capsici Leon. is determined to be resistant to pepper lines in the hybridization programs to obtain new varieties and will be used as a parent or father will contribute to improvement studies.
The impact of globalisation on regional identity: the example of Silesian identity
Authors: Sagan Radosław , Sitek Sławomir , Szajnowska-Wysocka Alicja 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Regional identity is a significant element of contemporary scientific discourse. It is justified in the era of progressing globalisation, which, by unifying traditional cultural patterns, forces regional communities to redefine their traditional values. Today, the Silesian identity is subject to such transformations. The distinctiveness thereof was shaped by many political, social and economic factors. Contemporarily, globalisation is a factor in socio-cultural transformations. The essence of the study of Silesian identity in the face of globalisation is to indicate the most important changes thereof reflected in the perception of the inhabitants of Katowice. The research goal is to analyse changes in the perception of globalisation and modern attitudes towards Silesian values (work and family).

Published: July 2020

Abstract
District heating (DH) has been highlighted as an important part in future carbon neutral energy supply. However, the performance of different DH systems varies a lot and the existing regulations do not always motivate DH companies to move toward more sustainable heat production. Therefore, this article presents novel methodology for Climate index determination which can be further used for the comparison of DH systems. The Climate index includes seven different indicators which show DH system performance according to energy efficiency, sustainability and environmental impact dimensions. The methodology is applied for 20 different DH systems operating in Latvia. The results show that the performance of 5 natural gas-based DH systems is below the determined climate benchmark.

Authors: Takizawa Kenji , Bazilevs Yuri , Tezduyar Tayfun E. , Korobenko Artem 
Published: July 2020

With the recent advances in the variational multiscale (VMS) methods, computational ow analysis in aerospace, energy, and transportation technologies has reached a high level of sophistication. It is bringing solutions in challenging problems such as the aerodynamics of parachutes, thermo-fluid analysis of ground vehicles and tires, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis of wind turbines. The computational challenges include complex geometries, moving boundaries and interfaces, FSI, turbulent flows, rotational flows, and large problem sizes. The Residual-Based VMS (RBVMS), Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian VMS (ALE-VMS) and Space-Time VMS (ST-VMS) methods have been successfully serving as core methods in addressing the computational challenges. The core methods are supplemented with special methods targeting specific classes of problems, such as the Slip Interface (SI) method, MultiDomain Method, and the ST-C data compression method. We provide and overview of the core and special methods. We present, as examples of challenging computations performed with these methods, aerodynamic analysis of a ramair parachute, thermo-fluid analysis of a freight truck and its rear set of tires, and aerodynamic and FSI analysis of two back-to-back wind turbines in atmospheric boundary layer flow.

Solution of the problem of the theoretical profile of non-dimensional speed on the thickness of the boundary layer at the turbulent flow in the boundary layer based on the solution of the differential equation of Abel of the second generation with the application of the Lambert function
Authors: ЛОБАНОВ И.Е. 
Published: July 2020

В статье было найдено точное аналитическое решение дифференциального уравнения для касательных напряжений в турбулентном пограничном слое, являющихся частным случаем т.н. дифференциального уравнения Абеля второго рода, полученное с помощью специальной функции Ламберта, в то время как ранее считалось, что оно не разрешимо в квадратурах. Кроме этого, были получены ещё несколько важных решённых частных случаев этого уравнения. Полученные в статье аналитические решения преимущественно отличаются от имеющихся ранее либо численных, либо приближённых решений задачи. Полученное решение в безразмерном виде представляет собой теоретический профиль безразмерной скорости по толщине пограничного слоя при турбулентном течении в пограничном слое.An exact analytical solution of the differential equation for tangential stresses in a turbulent boundary layer, which is a special case of the so-called " of the Abel differential equation of the second kind, obtained with the help of the special Lambert function, whereas previously it was assumed that it is not solvable in quadratures. In addition, several more important solved special cases of this equation were obtained. The analytic solutions obtained in the paper are predominantly different from the previously available either numerical or approximate solutions of the problem. The solution obtained in dimensionless form is the theoretical profile of the dimensionless velocity along the thickness of the boundary layer for turbulent flow in the boundary layer.
