Published: June 2020

:
Neurological diseases expose individuals to a higher risk of suicidal ideation and suicidal
behavior, including completed suicides and suicide attempts. They also represent a paradigmatic arena
to study the etiopathogenic mechanisms underlying suicidality because they are emblematic of the heterogeneity
and complexity of mutual interrelationships characterizing this issue. On the one hand, neurological
diseases imply strictly biological impairments that are postulated to be the basis of vulnerability
to suicide or result in the need for treatments for which a suicidal risk has been hypothesized. On
the other hand, they question some subjective experiences of neurological patients, up to near existential
positions. Often, in fact, they are accompanied by severe hopelessness. The latter may originate in,
particularly for the most severe neurological diseases, the absence of curative treatments, unpredictable
disease progression that leads to acute relapses or chronicity, a decrease in autonomy or selfidentity,
progressive social isolation, a sense of becoming useless, and perception of feeling stigmatized.
This may ultimately cause a slip into experiencing an absurd condition. At the confluence of
neurobiology and hopelessness, frequent psychiatric comorbidities may play a primary role. To conclude,
neurological patients require special attention from clinicians in form of openly verbalizing and
exploring the suicidal thematic, inquiring about protective and risk factors, and promptly initiating
both a psychopharmacological treatment and, where possible, psychological support.

Authors: Tian Wenchao , Cheng Chunmin , Wang Chuqiao , Li Wenhua 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Graphdiyne has a unique pi-conjugated structure, perfect pore distribution and
adjustable electronic properties of sp2, sp hybrid planar framework. Due to the presence of acetylenic
bonds, it has more excellent properties compared to grapheme, such as a unique structure-dependent
Dirac cone, abundant carbon bonds and a large bandgap. As one of the important raw materials for
nanodevices, it is extremely important to study the thermal properties of graphdiyne nanoribbon.

Objective:
This paper mainly introduces and discusses recent academic research and patents on the
preparation methods and thermal conductivity of graphdiyne nanoribbons. Besides, the applications in
engineering and vacancy defects in the preparation process of graphdiyne are described.

Methods:
Firstly, taking thermal conductivity as an index, the thermal conductivity of graphdiyne with
various vacancy defects is discussed from the aspects of length, defect location and defect type. In addition,
the graphdiyne nanoribbons were laterally compared with the thermal conductivity of the graphene
nanoribbons.

Results:
The thermal conductivity of graphdiyne with defects increases with the length and width,
which is lower than the intrinsic graphdiyne. The thermal conductivity of the acetylene chain lacking
one carbon atom is higher than the one lacking the benzene ring. Typically, the thermal conductivity is
larger in armchair than that of zigzag in the same size. Moreover

Conclusion:
Due to the unique structure and electronic characteristics, graphdiyne has provoked an extensive
research interest in the field of nanoscience. Graphdiyne is considered as one of the most promising
materials of next-generation electronic devices.
Pain Perception and Management: Where do We Stand?
Authors: Afridi Bilal , Khan Haroon , Akkol Esra K. , Aschner Michael 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Pain is often flammable, sharp and sometimes described as an electrical
shock. It can be categorized in three different ways as nociceptive, neuropathic and inflammatory.
Nociceptive pain always originates in specific situations such as in trauma. Neuropathic pain results
in nerve damage. In inflammatory pain, inflammatory mediators are involved in the sensitization
of nociceptors. It is important to control the pain as it affects the individual physically, mentally,
and socially.

Objective:
Recognizing pain physiopathology and pain pathways, defining the relationship between
receptor and transmitter is critical in developing new treatment strategies. In this review, current
information on the definitions, classifications, and physiological and chemical mechanisms involved
in pain are reviewed.

Methods:
Various search engines were used to gather related articles/information. Only peer-reviewed
journals were considered. Additional, books/chapters of standard publishers were also included
in the article.

Results:
With a better understanding of the physiological and chemical mechanisms that play a
role in pain, significant improvements have been made in pain treatment. Various oral or intravenous
drugs, local injection treatments, physical and occupational therapy, electrical stimulation, alternative
medicine applications, psychological support, and surgical applications are routinely performed
in the treatment, dependent upon the type, severity and cause of the pain.

Conclusions:
Improved understanding of pain physiopathology will serve as the basis for future improvements
in the delivery of efficacious and reliable treatments, and is likely to rely on novel technological
innovations.

Authors: Chakraborty Anwita , Shah Shrey Chirag , Kumar Yelithoti Sravana , Samant Tapaswini , Swayamsiddha Swati 
Published: June 2020

Background:
The prime challenge in Parking Systems is to administer the parking during peak hours or peak
seasons. Besides being time consuming, it is laborious. Amalgamation of various infrastructure of hardware and software
is prodigious and thus adding to its conventional hardware, making the investment in Smart Parking solution highly
hazardous and splintered. Electronic payment vendors causes another crucial drawback.

Objective:
With the evolution of technology, we have proposed the plan to diminish human endeavors to such a degree,
that a limit of one individual will be required to deal with the total colossal parking spot and a most extreme of one or two
volunteers if there should arise an occurrence of any technical issues with minimal cost of operation.

Methods:
In our proposed work we have used Infrared Sensors at each parking slot and also used a Node Micro Controller
Unit, a Wi-Fi microchip for connectivity. The Internet of Things platform used over here is Blynk.

Results:
The proposed technique performs better compared to existing state-of-art methodologies as it is cost-effective
and easy to implement. Also, this can maintain the total vehicle count of a particular day which can be used for further
traffic analysis.

Conclusion:
This paper presents the prototype of a Smart Parking System based on the IR sensor and Node MCU which
is connected to the Blynk app that monitors the whole parking lot. It provides an optimized parking solution for various
places available with parking facilities throughout the city. The proposed Smart parking system enables the guard incharge to obtain necessary information on the availability of parking space and keep a track of the effective number of
vehicles that have entered the arena via a suitable app.

Authors: Motesharezadeh Babak , Ghorbani Samira , Alikhani Hossein Ali , Fatemi Reza , Ma Qifu 
Published: June 2020

Background:Selenium (Se) is a crucial component of selenoaminoacids and selenoproteins. Therefore, Se-enriched agricultural products can reduce health complications induced by Se deficiency.Objective:This research was carried out to investigate the effects of Se bio-enrichment on Basil grown in calcareous and non-calcareous soil systems and also to evaluate the changes in Se concentration in the soil after harvesting.Methods:The experiment executed in two calcareous and one non-calcareous soil systems, and different Se application methods (control, soil application, seed inoculation, foliar application, and soil + foliar application) were administered. Selenobacteria, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), derived from the soil was used as a biofertilizer, compared to the other Se sources.Results:The results showed that both soil types and the methods of Se application had significant effects (P ˂ 0.01) on root and shoot dry weights and concentrations of P, K, Zn, Fe, and Se in both of the root and shoot. Shoot dry weight of plants treated with foliar Se was maximum in the calcareous soil. Compared to the control treatment, foliar application of Se increased shoot Se content in both calcareous and non-calcareous soils by 242% and 204%, respectively. Furthermore, the increase in shoot Se concentration in calcareous soil induced by Se application increased the concentration of other nutrients in the shoot and root. Plant growth parameters and concentrations of nutrients were significantly increased by using selenobacter inoculum.Conclusion:The application of Se-containing compounds can improve vegetable quality. Considering the daily requirement of the human body for minerals and nutrients, enriching basil with Se can play an important role in community health. Moreover, some patents have reported the effectiveness of endophyte bacteria.

Authors: Contreras Gloria María , Benítez Olga María , Amaya De Armas Tulio 
Published: June 2020

En este trabajo se evaluó la incidencia de las habilidades sociales: empatía, asertividad, trabajo en equipo y autoestima en el desempeño académico de estudiantes de sexto grado. La investigación se enmarca en un enfoque mixto (Creswell, 2009) puesto que en ella se combinan técnicas y métodos de investigación cuantitativos y cualitativos. La muestra la conformaron 155 estudiantes de sexto grado de dos instituciones del municipio de Sincelejo. Los resultados evidencian que el nivel de desarrollo de las habilidades sociales trabajo en equipo y asertividad son bastante heterogéneas tanto intra como inter grupos, es decir, su nivel de desarrollo no guarda una tendencia clara en ninguno de los dos grupos, mientras que autoestima y empatía tienen una tendencia entre en desarrollo a bien desarrolladas. Se encontró asociación estadísticamente significativa entre los desempeños logrados por los estudiantes en las áreas de matemáticas y de Ciencias Naturales, con la institución de donde provenían, lo que quiere decir que las calificaciones de los estudiantes de cada institución tendieron a agruparse alrededor de los mismos niveles de desempeño, pero diferenciables entre los grupo, ligeramente mejores para los de la institución privada. Además, el desempeño académico de los estudiantes en las áreas de Matemáticas y Ciencias Naturales, guarda cierta relación con el estado de desarrollo de las habilidades Autoestima y Empatía.

Authors: Ortega Álvarez Sandra , Carrascal Torres Nohemy 
Published: June 2020

Este artículo se deriva de un estudio desarrollado con la finalidad de evaluar la efectividad relativa del aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP), comparado con el método tradicional, para el desarrollo de la competencia económica y financiera (CEF) desde la enseñanza del álgebra, en la Institución Educativa San José de Carrizal del municipio de san Carlos Córdoba - Colombia. Se establece la estrategia de implementación de dos unidades didácticas de trabajo, fundamentadas en el enfoque ABP y organizadas alrededor de tres dominios: los contenidos (económicos y financieros), las competencias (planeación y administración), y los contextos (hogar, empresa y estado). El estudio es de tipo cuasi experimental con dos grupos: experimental y control. A estos grupos se les aplicó un pre-test, y posterior a la intervención, se les aplicó un post-test de control de equivalencia entre ellos. En el análisis de resultados se utilizaron las pruebas no paramétricas de Wilcoxon, y de Mann-Whitney. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron establecer que, en general, las competencias económicas y financieras mejoraron tanto en el grupo experimental como en el grupo control; los estudiantes del grupo control respondieron de manera más acertada en la prueba Post-test, que en la prueba Pre-test, evidenciándose que la aplicación de la metodología tradicional surte efecto, aunque la diferencia es más fuerte cuando se aplica la metodología ABP.

Authors: Peñata Doria Leidis Sofía , Carrascal Torres Nohemy 
Published: June 2020

Comprender la educación inclusiva, entendiéndola como un proceso transversal e interdisciplinario que convoca a diferentes actores de las comunidades educativas, es uno de los grandes retos en la implementación y empoderamiento de las políticas educativas y en la transformación de prácticas. El presente proyecto investigativo, se propuso Caracterizar las representaciones sociales (RS) de los estudiantes con discapacidad (EcD) y de los docentes de la Institución Educativa Leticia en sus prácticas pedagógicas, para que se contribuya a la comprensión frente al reconocimiento y acogida de la discapacidad, en atención las políticas actuales de educación inclusiva. Orientado desde la metodología cualitativa con corte fenomenológico y desde la teoría de las representaciones sociales, utilizando como estrategia el análisis de contenido, a partir de tres categorías: Representaciones sociales de la discapacidad, Educación inclusiva y Prácticas pedagógicas. Utilizando técnicas como la entrevista y la observación, el diario de campo, teniendo como centro de análisis la voz de los sujetos participantes. Se logra concluir que las RS permiten develar, que se evidencia una dicotomía entre discapacidad como limitación y discapacidad como reto. La limitación desde creencias y prejuicios sustentados en parte en diagnósticos médicos ceñidos a la deficiencia y como reto, para los EcD, porque reconocen que se enfrentan a diversas situaciones en distintos ámbitos personales y sociales, de los cuales aprenden. Por parte de algunos docentes, el reto es asumido desde su práctica como la necesidad de poner en escena sus saberes y experiencias para abordar situaciones en el aula para las cuales no se sienten preparados, sin embargo, adelantan esfuerzos para mejorar su práctica. Destacándose la urgencia de formar a todos los actores de la comunidad educativa para favorecer ambientes de acogida y reconocimiento de la diversidad.
Development and Usability Evaluation of a Facebook-Based Intervention Program for Childhood Cancer Patients: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Park Bu Kyung , Kim Ji Yoon , Rogers Valerie E 
Published: June 2020

Background
Childhood cancers previously considered to be incurable now have 5-year survival rates up to 84%. Nevertheless, these patients remain at risk of morbidity and mortality from therapy-related complications. Thus, patient education and self-management strategies for promoting a healthy lifestyle are of tantamount importance for improving short- and long-term health outcomes. A Facebook-based “Healthy Teens for Soaam” (a Korean term for childhood cancers) program was developed to help improve knowledge and self-management practices of teens with cancer related to their disease and treatment.

Objective
The two-fold purpose of this usability study was (1) to describe the process of developing an 8-week Facebook-based intervention program for teens with cancer, and (2) to evaluate its usability to refine the program.

Methods
Multiple phases and methods were employed to develop and evaluate the usability of the program. Study phases included: (1) needs assessment through focus group interviews and qualitative content analysis, (2) development of module content, (3) expert review and feedback on module content, (4) Facebook-based program development, (5) usability evaluation by heuristic evaluation, (6) usability evaluation by targeted end-user testing, and (7) modification and final version of the program. Usability of the final version was confirmed through feedback loops of these phases.

Results
Based on 6 focus group discussion sessions, it was determined that teens with cancer were interested in seeing stories of successful childhood cancer cases and self-management after discharge, and preferred multimedia content over text. Therefore, each Facebook module was redesigned to include multimedia materials such as relevant video clips tailored for teens. Usability assessed by heuristic evaluation and user testing revealed several critical usability issues, which were then revised. Potential end users tested the final program and perceived it to be usable and useful for teens with cancer.

Conclusions
To our knowledge, “Healthy Teens for Soaam” is the first Facebook-based intervention program for teens with cancer. We actively worked with current childhood cancer patients and survivors to develop and improve this program, achieved good usability, and met the expressed needs and preferences of target end users. This 8-week Facebook-based educational program for teens with cancer, developed as the first step of an upcoming intervention study, will be useful for improving knowledge and self-management strategies of teens.
Information Overload in Emergency Medicine Physicians: A Multisite Case Study Exploring the Causes, Impact, and Solutions in Four North England National Health Service Trusts
Authors: Sbaffi Laura , Walton James , Blenkinsopp John , Walton Graham 
Published: June 2020

Background
Information overload is affecting modern society now more than ever because of the wide and increasing distribution of digital technologies. Social media, emails, and online communications among others infuse a sense of urgency as information must be read, produced, and exchanged almost instantaneously. Emergency medicine is a medical specialty that is particularly affected by information overload with consequences on patient care that are difficult to quantify and address. Understanding the current causes of medical information overload, their impact on patient care, and strategies to handle the inflow of constant information is crucial to alleviating stress and anxiety that is already crippling the profession.

Objective
This study aims to identify and evaluate the main causes and sources of medical information overload, as experienced by emergency medicine physicians in selected National Health Service (NHS) trusts in the United Kingdom.

Methods
This study used a quantitative, survey-based data collection approach including close- and open-ended questions. A web-based survey was distributed to emergency physicians to assess the impact of medical information overload on their jobs. In total, 101 valid responses were collected from 4 NHS trusts in north England. Descriptive statistics, principal component analysis, independent sample two-tailed t tests, and one-way between-group analysis of variance with post hoc tests were performed on the data. Open-ended questions were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key topics.

Results
The vast majority of respondents agreed that information overload is a serious issue in emergency medicine, and it increases with time. The always available culture (mean 5.40, SD 1.56), email handling (mean 4.86, SD 1.80), and multidisciplinary communications (mean 4.51, SD 1.61) are the 3 main reasons leading to information overload. Due to this, emergency physicians experience guideline fatigue, stress and tension, longer working hours, and impaired decision making, among other issues. Aspects of information overload are also reported to have different impacts on physicians depending on demographic factors such as age, years spent in emergency medicine, and level of employment.

Conclusions
There is a serious concern regarding information overload in emergency medicine. Participants identified a considerable number of daily causes affecting their job, particularly the traditional culture of emergency departments being always available on the ward, exacerbated by email and other forms of communication necessary to maintain optimal, evidence-based practice standards. However, not all information is unwelcome, as physicians also need to stay updated with the latest guidelines on conditions and treatment, and communicate with larger medical teams to provide quality care.

Published: June 2020

Background
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is a global public health concern affecting over 5 million people and posing a great burden on health care systems worldwide.

Objective
The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices of medical students in Uganda on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
We conducted an online, descriptive cross-sectional study in mid-April 2020, using WhatsApp Messenger. Medical students in 9 of the 10 medical schools in Uganda were approached through convenience sampling. Bloom’s cut-off of 80% was used to determine good knowledge (≥12 out of 15), positive attitude (≥20 out of 25), and good practice (≥12 out of 15).

Results
The data of 741 first- to fifth-year medical students, consisting of 468 (63%) males with a mean age of 24 (SD 4) years, were analyzed. The majority (n=626, 84%) were pursuing Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees. Overall, 671 (91%) had good knowledge, 550 (74%) had a positive attitude, and 426 (57%) had good practices. Knowledge was associated with the 4th year of study (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.1, 95% CI 1.6-10.3; P<.001). Attitude was associated with the female sex (aOR 0.7, 95% CI 0.5-1; P=.04) and TV or radio shows (aOR 1.1, 95% CI 0.6-2.1; P=.01). Practices were associated with the ≥24 years age category (aOR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1-2.1; P=.02) and online courses (aOR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1-3.2; P=.03). In total, 592 (80%) medical students were willing to participate in frontline care if called upon.

Conclusions
Medical students in Uganda have sufficient knowledge of COVID-19 and will be a large reservoir for health care response when the need arises.
