AbstractObjectivesDesirable nutrition and breakfast intake have a major contribution to nutritional needs of students. Empirical evidence has shown that breakfast removal has an unpleasant effect on cognitive and perceptual performance of individuals. The aim of this study was to determine the Iranian students’ attitudes about breakfast consumption and its related factors.MethodsIn this descriptive & analytical (cross sectional) study 320 female high school students of Ardal district in 2018 were enrolled in a multistage sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire consist of behavioral beliefs and evaluation of the outcome. Face validity test was carried out with the view of 15 adolescents and content validity with seven expert opinions. Internal consistency and test-retest method were used for instrument reliability. Independent–samplesT-Test, One–Way ANOVA andPost HocMultiple Comparisons were used for data analysis by SPSS ver.16.ResultsThere was a significant relationship between the attitude of adolescents and father’s education (P = 0.047), sleep time (P < 0.001) and who ate breakfast (P = 0.003). But there was a significant relationship between attitudes with other variables not observed (P > 0.05). There was a significant relationship between behavioral beliefs of students with family size variable (P = 0.003), sleep time (0.001), who ate breakfast (P < 0.001) and father’s education, evaluation of behavioral outcomes with sleep time variable (P = 0.01) There was a significant relationship. According to the classification, the attitudes of most students (%51/6) regarding breakfast consumption was good and most of them have acceptable beliefs on positive outcomes of breakfast consumption except (example; better learning lessons and having physical health) but in the outcome of more activity in school and energy and vitality, student had unacceptable beliefs.ConclusionIn designing interventions, we must work to maintain a positive attitudes toward breakfast consumption through promoting behavioral beliefs and evaluation of behavioral outcomes.

Abstract

Objectives
Body image is widely related to behavioral factors in adolescents and negative levels has been associated to poor physical and mental health. This study analyzed the association of physical activity and sedentary behavior with body dissatisfaction in adolescents.

Methods
Data from 15,632 adolescents between 11 and 17 years from the Brazilian National Scholar Health Survey – PeNSE 2015 were analyzed. Body dissatisfaction was self-reported. Sedentary behavior was assessed by hours in television (TV) viewing and in overall sitting behaviors. Physical activity was assessed by amount of time in domains of active commuting, physical education classes at school, and physical activities outside the school. Analyses were adjusted by age, ethnicity, body mass index, and scholarity of mother.

Results
Body dissatisfaction prevalence was 18.5%, being higher in girls than boys (24.2 vs. 12.7%, p < 0.001). Female gender (OR = 2.35), higher age-group (OR = 1.64), high scholarity of mother (OR = 1.43), and had overweight/obesity (OR = 2.38/4.81) were positively related to body dissatisfaction. Higher sedentary time was associated with body dissatisfaction in adolescents when compared to less than 2 h/day of sedentary time (OR varying from 1.45 to 2.14). Physical activity was negatively associated with adolescent body dissatisfaction in all assessed domains, with odds ratio varying from 0.66 to 0.89.

Conclusions
Body dissatisfaction showed an independent association of with total sedentary behavior (positively) and with different domains of physical activity (negatively) in a large scholar sample of Brazilian adolescents.

Abstract
Today, short- and long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridge infrastructures and their safe, reliable and cost-effective maintenance has received considerable attention. From a surveying or civil engineer’s point of view, vibration-based SHM can be conducted by inspecting the changes in the global dynamic behaviour of a structure, such as natural frequencies (i. e. eigenfrequencies), mode shapes (i. e. eigenforms) and modal damping, which are known as modal parameters. This research work aims to propose a robust and automatic vibration analysis procedure that is so-called robust time domain modal parameter identification (RT-MPI) technique. It is novel in the sense of automatic and reliable identification of initial eigenfrequencies even closely spaced ones as well as robustly and accurately estimating the modal parameters of a bridge structure using low numbers of cost-effective micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers. To estimate amplitude, frequency, phase shift and damping ratio coefficients, an observation model consisting of: (1) a damped harmonic oscillation model, (2) an autoregressive model of coloured measurement noise and (3) a stochastic model in the form of the heavy-tailed family of scaled t-distributions is employed and jointly adjusted by means of a generalised expectation maximisation algorithm. Multiple MEMS as part of a geo-sensor network were mounted at different positions of a bridge structure which is precalculated by means of a finite element model (FEM) analysis. At the end, the estimated eigenfrequencies and eigenforms are compared and validated by the estimated parameters obtained from acceleration measurements of high-end accelerometers of type PCB ICP quartz, velocity measurements from a geophone and the FEM analysis. Additionally, the estimated eigenfrequencies and modal damping are compared with a well-known covariance driven stochastic subspace identification approach, which reveals the superiority of our proposed approach. We performed an experiment in two case studies with simulated data and real applications of a footbridge structure and a synthetic bridge. The results show that MEMS accelerometers are suitable for detecting all occurring eigenfrequencies depending on a sampling frequency specified. Moreover, the vibration analysis procedure demonstrates that amplitudes can be estimated in submillimetre range accuracy, frequencies with an accuracy better than 0.1 Hz and damping ratio coefficients with an accuracy better than 0.1 and 0.2 % for modal and system damping, respectively.

AbstractIf the worries about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are not already enough, some pregnant women have been questioning whether the hospital is a safe or safe enough place to deliver their babies and therefore whether they should deliver out-of-hospital during the pandemic. In the United States, planned out-of-hospital births are associated with significantly increased risks of neonatal morbidity and death. In addition, there are obstetric emergencies during out-of-hospital births that can lead to adverse outcomes, partly because of the delay in transporting the woman to the hospital. In other countries with well-integrated obstetric services and well-trained midwives, the differences in outcomes of planned hospital birth and planned home birth are smaller. Women are empowered to make informed decisions when the obstetrician makes ethically justified recommendations, which is known as directive counseling. Recommendations are ethically justified when the outcomes of one form of management is clinically superior to another. The outcomes of morbidity and mortality and of infection control and prevention of planned hospital birth are clinically superior to those of out-of-hospital birth. The obstetrician therefore should recommend planned hospital birth and recommend against planned out-of-hospital birth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased stress levels for all patients and even more so for pregnant patients and their families. The response in this difficult time should be to mitigate this stress and empower women to make informed decisions by routinely providing counseling that is evidence-based and directive.

Abstract
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have enabled numerous high performance, energy efficient, and compact technologies for optical communications, sensing, and metrology. One of the biggest challenges in scaling PICs comes from the parasitic reflections that feed light back into the laser source. These reflections increase noise and may cause laser destabilization. To avoid parasitic reflections, expensive and bulky optical isolators have been placed between the laser and the rest of the PIC leading to large increases in device footprint for on-chip integration schemes and significant increases in packaging complexity and cost for lasers co-packaged with passive PICs. This review article reports new findings on epitaxial quantum dot lasers on silicon and studies both theoretically and experimentally the connection between the material properties and the ultra-low reflection sensitivity that is achieved. Our results show that such quantum dot lasers on silicon exhibit much lower linewidth enhancement factors than any quantum well lasers. Together with the large damping factor, we show that the quantum dot gain medium is fundamentally dependent on dot uniformity, but through careful optimization, even epitaxial lasers on silicon can operate without an optical isolator, which is of paramount importance for the future high-speed silicon photonic systems.
Gesundheitsförderndes Krankenhaus: Gesundheitsförderung für Alle?
Authors: Hollederer Alfons 
Published: June 2020

Zusammenfassung
Krankenhäuser stellen ein ursprünglich von der WHO initiiertes und unterstütztes Setting der Gesundheitsförderung dar. Gesundheitsfördernde Krankenhäuser versuchen aktiv, sich zu gesunden Organisationen zu entwickeln und zu vernetzen. In Deutschland ist die Beteiligung der Krankenhäuser sehr gering und die Maßnahmen sind stark verhaltensorientiert. Internationale Reviews eruierten die Implementierungsbedingungen in Krankenhäusern und die Hemmfaktoren. Zur Evidenzbasierung ist noch weitere Präventionsforschung nötig.

Published: June 2020

Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel entfaltet die Potenziale der Luhmannschen Verfahrenssoziologie für eine gesellschaftstheoretisch informierte Organisationsforschung. Er leistet damit zugleich einen Beitrag zur Erweiterung der Typen sozialer Systembildung. Meine Ausgangsbeobachtung ist, dass die Legitimation von Verfahrensentscheidungen eine Legitimation der übergreifenden Verfahrensstrukturen voraussetzt. Aufbauend auf dieser These wird gezeigt, dass es Organisationen sind, die nicht nur für gesellschaftliche Funktionskontexte, sondern auch für Verfahrenssysteme rechtlich abgesicherte Entscheidungsprämissen spezifizieren. Am Material einer historisch-soziologischen Fallstudie zur Organisationsgenese eines Höchstgerichts veranschauliche ich exemplarisch, wie Verfahren durch formale Organisation mitstrukturiert werden und welche informalen Folgeprobleme mit einer organisationalen Verschachtelung von Verfahren verbunden sind.
Foundations of Information Governance for Smart Manufacturing

Published: June 2020

Abstract
The manufacturing systems of the future will be even more dependent on data than they are today. More and more data and information are being collected and communicated throughout product development life cycles and across manufacturing value chains. To enable smarter manufacturing operations, new equipment often includes built-in data collection capabilities. Older equipment can be retrofitted inexpensively with sensors to collect a wide variety of data. Many manufacturers are in a quandary as to what to do with increasing quantities of data. Much hype currently surrounds the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to process large data sets, but manufacturers struggle to understand how AI can be applied to improve manufacturing system performance. The gap lies in the lack of good information governance practices for manufacturing. This paper defines information governance in the manufacturing context as the set of principles that allows for consistent, repeatable, and trustworthy processing and use of data. The paper identifies three foundations for good information governance that are needed in the manufacturing environment—data quality, semantic context, and system context—and reviews the surrounding and evolving body of work. The work includes a broad base of standard methods that combine to create reusable information from raw data formats. An example from an additive manufacturing case study is used to show how those detailed specifications create the governance needed to build trust in the systems.

Abstract
Cancer is a common cause of mortality in the world. For cancer treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, photothermal therapy and immunotherapy, the concentration of therapeutic agents in tumor tissue is the key factor which determines therapeutic efficiency. In view of this, developing targeted drug delivery systems are of great significance in selectively delivering drugs to tumor regions. Various types of nanomaterials have been widely used as drug carriers. However, the low tumor-targeting ability of nanomaterials limits their clinical application. It is difficult for nanomaterials to penetrate the tumor tissue through passive diffusion due to the elevated tumoral interstitial fluid pressure. As a biological carrier, bacteria can specifically colonize and proliferate inside tumors and inhibit tumor growth, making it an ideal candidate as delivery vehicles. In addition, synthetic biology techniques have been applied to enable bacteria to controllably express various functional proteins and achieve targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. Nanobiohybrids constructed by the combination of bacteria and nanomaterials have an abundance of advantages, including tumor targeting ability, genetic modifiability, programmed product synthesis, and multimodal therapy. Nowadays, many different types of bacteria-based nanobiohybrids have been used in multiple targeted tumor therapies. In this review, firstly we summarized the development of nanomaterial-mediated cancer therapy. The mechanism and advantages of the bacteria in tumor therapy are described. Especially, we will focus on introducing different therapeutic strategies of nanobiohybrid systems which combine bacteria with nanomaterials in cancer therapy. It is demonstrated that the bacteria-based nanobiohybrids have the potential to provide a targeted and effective approach for cancer treatment.

Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Hypertension is highly prevalent in pediatric kidney transplant recipients and contributes to cardiovascular death and graft loss. Improper blood pressure (BP) measurement limits the ability to control hypertension in this population. Here, we report multicenter efforts from the Improving Renal Outcomes Collaborative (IROC) to standardize and improve appropriate BP measurement in transplant patients.

METHODS:
Seventeen centers participated in structured quality improvement activities facilitated by IROC, including formal training in quality improvement methods. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of transplant clinic visits with appropriate BP measurement according to published guidelines. Prospective data were analyzed over a 12-week pre-intervention period and a 20-week active intervention period for each center and then aggregated as of the program-specific start date. We used control charts to quantify improvements across IROC centers. We applied thematic analysis to identify patterns and common themes of successful interventions.

RESULTS:
We analyzed data from 5392 clinic visits. At baseline, BP was measured and documented appropriately at 11% of visits. Center-specific interventions for improving BP measurement included educating clinic staff, assigning specific team member roles, and creating BP tracking tools and alerts. Appropriate BP measurement improved throughout the 20-week active intervention period to 78% of visits.

CONCLUSIONS:
We standardized appropriate BP measurement across 17 pediatric transplant centers using the infrastructure of the IROC learning health system and substantially improved the rate of appropriate measurement over 20 weeks. Accurate BP assessment will allow further interventions to reduce complications of hypertension in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.
Intellectual Network of Mandailing and Haramayn Muslim Scholars in the Mid-19th and Early 20th Century

Published: June 2020

This paper is an attempt to study the scholars’ network of Mandailing Ulama with those of Haramayn in the mid-19th and early 20th century. Employing the content analysis method the research finds that the Mandailing scholars had made an intellectual encounter with the scholars in Haramayn, even some of the established networks with Egyptian and Indian scholars. The Mandailing scholars connote those who ethnically originated from Mandailing clan and data reveals that Mandailing scholars come from the residencies of Tapanuli and East Sumatera, both of which are parts of the modern era North Sumatera province. This not to deny that some of the Mandailing scholars were also born in Makkah. From the aspect of the duration of the study, some scholars studied religion intensively and settled in Makkah, while others only learned the Islamic religion by meeting the scholars of Makkah only during the Hajj period. The last group of scholars only studied religion intensely in Nusantara, but while performing hajj they met the scholars and learned religion in very limited time. Mandailing scholars studied Islamic sciences, especially Quranic exegeses, hadīth, and Sufism to a number of such scholars from Arab and Nusantara as Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi, ‘Abd al-Qadir b. Shabir al-Mandili (Nasution) and Hasan Masysyath. Ideologically, they studied Islamic sciences in the context of the Sunnī school of thought, especially Ash‘arīyah and Shāfi‘īyah. This study then fills the gap of the study of other researchers about the Nusantara Ulama Network with Middle Eastern scholars.
