A Survey on the Evidence-Based Practice of Optometrists in Malaysia
Authors: Zainodin Elly Liyana , Jantan Nur Dzakirah 
Published: December 2020

Evidence-based practice is useful to help healthcare practitioners, including optometrists, to give the best level of patient care. To date, little is known about the form of evidence used by optometrists in Malaysia in their clinical decision-making. A cross-sectional survey that explores the implementation of evidence-based practice was completed online by 137 registered optometrists. Overall, findings indicate that the respondents did not sufficiently apply evidence-based practice in clinical. Time constraints and restriction in access hinder the respondents from reading journals regularly. The evidence-based practice needs to be formally nurtured in optometry education to bridge the gap between research and clinical.

Associations Among Internet Addiction, Genetic Polymorphisms, Family Functioning, and Psychopathological Risk: Cross-Sectional Exploratory Study
Authors: Cerniglia Luca , Cimino Silvia , Marzilli Eleonora , Pascale Esterina , Tambelli Renata 
Published: December 2020

Background
International research has emphasized that youths are at higher risk for the onset of internet addiction (IA), but studies investigating biological, psychological, and social factors associated with this condition are limited.

Objective
This study aims to investigate the possible association between IA and genetic polymorphisms in monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), serotonin-transporter (5-HTTPR), dopamine receptor (DRD4), and dopamine transporter (DAT1) genes by considering the role played by the perception of young adults in their family functioning and their depression, anxiety, and avoidant personality problems.

Methods
In a sample of 104 male and female young adults aged between 19 and 23 years (mean age 21.87, SD 2.29 years) recruited from universities in the central southern part of Italy, we addressed the presence of IA using the Young criteria of the IA test. Moreover, the perception of young adults of their family functioning and their psychopathological symptoms were assessed through the Family Assessment Device (FAD) and the Adult Self-Report, respectively.

Results
We found no significant association between IA and any genetic polymorphisms, neither among males or females. Young adults with IA reported significantly higher scores in the subscale of FAD affective responsiveness (AR; P=.01) and in depressive problems (P=.02), anxiety problems (P=.009), and avoidant personality problems (P=.003) than those in the control group. Results of mediation analyses showed a mediation role played by depressive symptoms (B=0.99; 95% CI 0.22 to 1.97) and avoidant personality problems (B=1.09; 95% CI 0.32 to 2.05) of young adults on the relationship between the FAD, AR, and IA. Finally, this relationship was moderated by the genotype of the 5-HTTLPR (P<.001), DAT1 (P<.001), and MAO-A (P<.001) genes in young adults.

Conclusions
This exploratory study supports the recent evidence on the mutual relationship among biological, individual, and social risk factors associated with IA in young adulthood. Our findings may have important clinical implications for the development of prevention and treatment programs.

Background
The COVID-19 outbreak has increased challenges associated with health management, especially cancer management. In an effort to provide continuous pharmaceutical care to cancer patients, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) implemented a remote pharmacy service platform based on its already existing web-based hospital app known as Cloud SYSUCC.

Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics, acceptance, and initial impact of the Cloud SYSUCC app during a COVID-19 outbreak in a tertiary cancer hospital in China.

Methods
The total number of online prescriptions and detailed information on the service were obtained during the first 6 months after the remote service platform was successfully set up. The patients’ gender, age, residence, primary diagnosis, drug classification, weekly number of prescriptions, and prescribed drugs were analyzed. In addition, a follow-up telephonic survey was conducted to evaluate patients’ satisfaction in using the remote prescription service.

Results
A total of 1718 prescriptions, including 2022 drugs for 1212 patients, were delivered to 24 provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government of China between February 12, 2020, and August 11, 2020. The majority of patients were female (841/1212, 69.39%), and 90.18% (1093/1212) of them were aged 31-70 years old. The top 3 primary diagnoses for which remote medical prescriptions were made included breast cancer (599/1212, 49.42%), liver cancer (249/1212, 20.54%), and thyroid cancer (125/1212, 10.31%). Of the 1718 prescriptions delivered, 1435 (83.5%) were sent to Guangdong Province and 283 (16.5%) were sent to other provinces in China. Of the 2022 drugs delivered, 1012 (50.05%) were hormonal drugs. The general trend in the use of the remote prescription service declined since the 10th week. A follow-up telephonic survey found that 88% (88/100) of the patients were very satisfied, and 12% (12/100) of the patients were somewhat satisfied with the remote pharmacy service platform.

Conclusions
The remote pharmacy platform Cloud SYSUCC is efficient and convenient for providing continuous pharmaceutical care to patients with cancer during the COVID-19 crisis. The widespread use of this platform can help to reduce person-to-person transmission as well as infection risk for these patients. Further efforts are needed to improve the quality and acceptance of the Cloud SYSUCC platform, as well as to regulate and standardize the management of this novel service.

Information ergonomics in eHealth
Authors: Okkonen Jussi 
Published: December 2020

Maintaining performance in digital ubiquitous work environment is increasingly dependent on the quality of physical, cognitive and organizational ergonomics of work. Since digital work environment is the reign of most knowledge workers, there is a need to elaborate the study of work ergonomics by devoting attention to the issue of information ergonomics. In health care digitalisation has affected operation model thoroughly. It has affected how information is recorded, managed and distributed. Novel service models powered by digital channels offer now ways to practice professions as well as there are several outcomes regarding the whole service area. This paper is a summary of four research projects on how digitalisation affects knowledge work and how working is (re)shaped by sociotechnical work environments with reflection to eHealth. The conclusion in the paper underlines the digital transformation shaping the lives of knowledge workers. Discussion on how sociotechnical reshapes both individual and organisations, not to mention extended organisations. As the working practices as well as conventions and norms dictate the daily flow people have developed digital coping strategies. Paper also discusses the future of information ergonomics research in health care as way to find normative result for enhancing work in sociotechnical environment.

Can we preserve physically meaningful “macro” analyticity without requiring physically meaningless “micro” analyticity?
Authors: Kosheleva Olga , Kreinovich Vladik 
Published: December 2020

Physicists working on quantum field theory actively used “macro”
analyticity — e.g., that an integral of an analytical function over a large closed loop is 0 — but they agree that “micro” analyticity — the possibility to expand into Taylor series — is not physically meaningful on the micro level. Many physicists prefer physical theories with physically meaningful mathematical foundations. So, a natural question is: can we preserve physically meaningful “macro” analyticity without requiring physically meaningless “micro” analyticity? In the 1970s, an attempt to do it was made by using constructive mathematics, in which only objects generated by algorithms are allowed. This did not work out, but, as we show in this paper, the desired separation between “macro” and “micro” analyticity can be achieved if we limit ourselves to feasible algorithms.

Integrated pest management of fall armyworm infestations in maize fields in Nepal: A review
Authors: Khatri Sushil , Pakuwal Prakash , Khanal Saugat 
Published: December 2020

Spodoptera frugiperda, commonly known as Fall Armyworm (FAW), is amongst the most terrifying pests of maize in Latin America, which unexpectedly appeared in Nepal in 2019 and spread expeditiously. Estimates of maize crop losses due to this pest are vital in order to compare the effect of these losses with the convenient of controlling FAW and suggest pertinent controlling technology and methods. Nepal is predominantly an agrarian nation thus, maize is grown substantially. However, climatic conditions of Nepal favor the outbreaks of pests such as FAW in many maize grown areas. On the grounds that most of the people of hill and mountainous regions depend on maize for their staple food, pests have appeared to be a great threat to cereal production. It causes considerable injuries to maize by feeding on leaf whorls, ears and tassel which often leads to total yield loss. Yet, agriculture is an economic activity, even among subsistence farmers in Nepal. Seeing high potential losses caused by FAW, different control methods have been proposed. This pest demands meticulous and stepwise plan for its management. This review emphasized on adoption of IPM methods of pests’ control, which is the integration of biological, cultural, physical, chemical, and technological approaches. Meanwhile, early warning systems, though poorly developed in Nepal, can be highlighted for further studies and for further research work.
Protocols for 3D-printing pieces by fused deposition modeling for research purposes: from modeling to post-printing treatment
Authors: Guima Katia-Emiko , Fialho Felipe L. B. , Martins Cauê Alves 
Published: December 2020

Additive manufacturing or 3D-printing is a revolutionary technique for prototyping and building objects for final use. Since the first registers at ~1890 the improved technology has boosted the applications of such technique, decreasing its market price. The most affordable 3D-print technique is Fuse Deposition Modeling (FDM), which is based on a layer-by-layer deposition of a fused polymer on a cooled table. Although FDM has been used by industrials, students and researchers, there are few published protocols dealing with small challenges and daily problems. Here we use a basic object to detail pre- and post-printing steps. This technical note offers the reader tools to model, print and treat the 3D-object. We point out basic challenges, such as positioning the objects on the virtual table of the slicing software, that may lead towards undesirable printed pieces. The protocols described here do not cover the uncountable possibilities of 3D-printing by FDM, but surely help researchers and industrials to start working with it.

ABSTRACTPopulation and economic growth in Central Java Province continues to increase. One of the segments from the highway of Semarang-Solo is Banyudono-Kartosuro, this segment is one of the main segments that links Semarang and Solo, so stacking of vehicle volume in this region often happens. With this background, this study is entitled Feasibility Study of Traffic and Economy in Banyudono-Kartasura Highway.Analyzing the traffic aspect requires several parameters by estimating the volume of the vehicle or weather forecast, the degree of saturation and also the trip assignment value. In addition, for the economic aspects in terms of road users by calculating the value of Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Based on the forecast results obtained an outcome that in the year of 2027 for Boyolali-Kartosuro segment will experience congestion and after the built of highway, congestion will decrease in 2038, for Salatiga-Boyolali segment congestion will occurred in 2029 and after the built of highway congestion occurred in 2040. For the calculation of feasibility of economic analysis value obtained BCR = 4.3> 1, NPV = Rp 3,409,646,232,099> 0, and IRR = 12.26> 4.48%.

Authors: Prikhodko K. S. , Mitrakova N. N. , Rozhentsov A. A. , Mitrakov A. A. 
Published: December 2020

The purpose of the study: The main purpose of the study is creation of a system for digital processing of endoscopic images in white light and narrow band imaging for the early diagnosis of early forms of stomach cancer.Materials and methods: The object of the study is endoscopic images (6320 cases) with PENTAX EG-2790K and OLYMPUS H180 devices. The subjects of the research are mathematical models of gastric epithelial neoplasias, classifi cation of these tissues, methods of digital image processing and contour analysis, methods of mathematical modeling.Results: The work is divided into two stages to obtain quantitative estimates of the studied characteristics: 1. To make a diagnostic map — the image is segmented, then the boundaries between the pathologically altered tissues and the normal mucous membrane are drawn. 2. The calculation of the characteristics of the contour associated with diagnostic signs is made. As a measure of the symmetry of the figure, the symmetry coefficient k was used, defined as the ratio of the number of samples of the normalized autocorrelation function that exceeded the specified threshold in level to the total number of samples. The study revealed that the contours of malignant neoplasms have a symmetry coefficient k < 0,05, and the contours of benign neoplasms k > 0,2. This suggests the possibility of automated differentiation of neoplasms based on the analysis of their shape.The conclusion: An objective assessment of endoscopic signs of early gastric cancer is necessary to standardize and systematize the diagnostic approach. The unified digital processing of endoscopic images will allow the endoscopist to increase the frequency of detecting early forms of gastric cancer, which will affect to reduce mortality.
IN EXTREMIS:Communal Expressions of Serious Impoverishment in the Dominions of the Kings of England, 1250–1450
Authors: Bothwell James 
Published: December 2020

This article focuses on how communities in later medieval England claiming serious impoverishment articulated their plight to those they thought might be able to help through petitions to the king’s government. Using the 454 petitions, mainly in French, submitted to the king’s government between 1250 and 1450 citing substantial communal impoverishment, three main groups of petitioners are examined: secular communities, religious houses, and wider groupings of the population. While these petitions make up only a fraction of all surviving petitions from the later Middle Ages (2.59% of the 17,514 Special Collections 8 Ancient Petitions), they not only embody the most important communal requests for serious need to the king’s government from all such petitions but also represent a significant proportion of the populace as a whole and account for many of the most important communities under the English king’s control. Indeed by focusing on communities rather than individuals, a clearer sense should emerge of how medieval people understood, if not usually articulated, key aspects of their own common good in extremis — rather than how those with power defined it for them. Also by looking beyond England to those lands under the English monarch’s control from Ireland to southern France, we can see how communities on the very fringes of royal power viewed the English government’s role toward them. Overall this article illuminates how medieval communities claiming to be in or moving toward extreme need saw themselves and/or wanted others to see them, the reality of the situation where known, what petitioners thought was the best way forward, and the royal government’s reaction to such requests.
ПОСТРОЕНИЕ ПРОТОТИПА АВТОМАТИЗИРОВАННОЙ БЕСПРОВОДНОЙ СИСТЕМЫ МОНИТОРИНГА ЗАПЫЛЕННОСТИ ВОЗДУХА НА ПРОИЗВОДСТВЕННЫХ ПЛОЩАДКАХ

Разнообразные исследования последних десятилетий показали, что мелкие пылевые частицы могут представлять серьезную опасностью для здоровья, способствуя развитию респираторных и сердечно-cосудистых заболеваний. Выявлены потенциальные связи между вероятностью возникновения таких заболеваний, как хроническая обструктивная болезнь легких (ХОБЛ), астма, рак легких, с концентрацией пыли в воздухе. Есть корреляционные данные, свидетельствующие о том, что при увеличении ПДК пыли в воздухе всего лишь на 50 мкг / м3, приводит к увеличению смертности на 1-8 %. Твердые пылевые частицы оказывают существенное влияние на жизнь растений и животных. Многие промышленные, экспериментальные и медицинские процессы могут быть безопасно осуществлены только при определённых значениях концентрации пылевых частиц в воздухе: например, пыль, состоящая из твердых частиц размером менее 850 мкм, находящихся во взвешенном или осевшем состоянии в газовой среде, способна к самостоятельному горению и взрыву в воздухе. Такая пыль классифицируется как горючая пыль и, при определенных концентрациях, может стать причиной несчастных случаев на производствах, связанных со взрывами пылевоздушных смесей. Создание автоматизированной системы, способной контролировать запылённость воздуха в различных производственных помещениях является актуальной задачей. Данная работа посвящена созданию подобной системы, объединяющей в себя необходимое количество датчиков пыли, связанных между собой в беспроводную сеть, позволяющую управлять процессом измерения и фиксированием результатов измерения каждого конкретного датчика.
