Use of the patientMpower App With Home-Based Spirometry to Monitor the Symptoms and Impact of Fibrotic Lung Conditions: Longitudinal Observational Study
Authors: Edwards Colin , Costello Eamonn , Cassidy Nicola , Vick Bill , Russell Anne-Marie 
Published: October 2020

Background
Daily home-based spirometry in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been shown to be feasible and clinically informative. The patientMpower app facilitates home-based spirometry along with home-based monitoring of IPF-related symptoms. The patientMpower app can be downloaded to the user’s mobile phone or tablet device, enabling the recording of objective and subjective data.

Objective
The aim of this paper is to report on the 1-year experience of using patientMpower with home-based spirometry by 36 participants with self-reported pulmonary fibrosis (PF) treated with usual care.

Methods
Self-selecting participants enrolled in this community-based participatory research program through a patient advocacy group in their country: Irish Lung Fibrosis Association in Ireland and PF Warriors in the United States. Disease severity was comparable with a baseline mean predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) of 64% and 62% in the Irish and US participants, respectively. Both groups of participants were allocated to identical, in-country, open-label, single-group observational studies and were provided with a Bluetooth-active Spirobank Smart spirometer integrated directly with patientMpower. Data collected via patientMpower included seated FVC (daily), breathlessness grade (modified Medical Research Council scale score), step count, medication adherence, and symptoms and impact of IPF on daily life, which were measured by a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scale that was specifically developed for IPF. Longitudinal patient-reported data on oximetry and oxygen consumption were also collected.

Results
A large majority of the 36 participants reported that their experience using patientMpower was positive, and they wanted to continue its use after the initial 6-week observation. Out of 36 participants, 21 (58%) recorded home-based spirometry without prompting for ≥180 days, and 9 (25%) participants continued with recording home-based spirometry for ≥360 days.

Conclusions
The patientMpower app with associated Bluetooth-connected devices (eg, spirometer and pulse oximeter) offers an acceptable and accessible approach to collecting patient-reported objective and subjective data in fibrotic lung conditions.
Twitter Discussions and Emotions About the COVID-19 Pandemic: Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Xue Jia , Chen Junxiang , Hu Ran , Chen Chen , Zheng Chengda , Su Yue , Zhu Tingshao 
Published: October 2020

Background
It is important to measure the public response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Twitter is an important data source for infodemiology studies involving public response monitoring.

Objective
The objective of this study is to examine COVID-19–related discussions, concerns, and sentiments using tweets posted by Twitter users.

Methods
We analyzed 4 million Twitter messages related to the COVID-19 pandemic using a list of 20 hashtags (eg, “coronavirus,” “COVID-19,” “quarantine”) from March 7 to April 21, 2020. We used a machine learning approach, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), to identify popular unigrams and bigrams, salient topics and themes, and sentiments in the collected tweets.

Results
Popular unigrams included “virus,” “lockdown,” and “quarantine.” Popular bigrams included “COVID-19,” “stay home,” “corona virus,” “social distancing,” and “new cases.” We identified 13 discussion topics and categorized them into 5 different themes: (1) public health measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, (2) social stigma associated with COVID-19, (3) COVID-19 news, cases, and deaths, (4) COVID-19 in the United States, and (5) COVID-19 in the rest of the world. Across all identified topics, the dominant sentiments for the spread of COVID-19 were anticipation that measures can be taken, followed by mixed feelings of trust, anger, and fear related to different topics. The public tweets revealed a significant feeling of fear when people discussed new COVID-19 cases and deaths compared to other topics.

Conclusions
This study showed that Twitter data and machine learning approaches can be leveraged for an infodemiology study, enabling research into evolving public discussions and sentiments during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the situation rapidly evolves, several topics are consistently dominant on Twitter, such as confirmed cases and death rates, preventive measures, health authorities and government policies, COVID-19 stigma, and negative psychological reactions (eg, fear). Real-time monitoring and assessment of Twitter discussions and concerns could provide useful data for public health emergency responses and planning. Pandemic-related fear, stigma, and mental health concerns are already evident and may continue to influence public trust when a second wave of COVID-19 occurs or there is a new surge of the current pandemic.
Acceptance of a Virtual Reality Headset Designed for Fall Prevention in Older Adults: Questionnaire Study
Authors: Mascret Nicolas , Delbes Lisa , Voron Amélie , Temprado Jean-Jacques , Montagne Gilles 
Published: October 2020

Background
Falls are a common phenomenon among people aged 65 and older and affect older adults’ health, quality of life, and autonomy. Technology-based intervention programs are designed to prevent the occurrence of falls and their effectiveness often surpasses that of more conventional programs. However, to be effective, these programs must first be accepted by seniors.

Objective
Based on the technology acceptance model, this study aimed to examine the acceptance among older adults before a first use of a virtual reality headset (VRH) used in an intervention program designed to prevent falls.

Methods
A sample of 271 French older adults (mean age 73.69 years, SD 6.37 years) voluntarily and anonymously filled out a questionnaire containing the focal constructs (perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, perceived ease of use, intention to use, fall-related self-efficacy, and self-avoidance goals) adapted to the VRH, which was designed to prevent falls.

Results
The results of the structural equation modeling analysis showed that intention to use the VRH was positively predicted by perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and perceived ease of use. Perceived usefulness of the VRH was also negatively predicted by fall-related self-efficacy (ie, the perceived level of confidence of an individual when performing daily activities without falling) and positively predicted by self-avoidance goals (ie, participating in a physical activity to avoid physical regression).

Conclusions
A better understanding of the initial acceptance among older adults of this VRH is the first step to involving older adults in intervention programs designed to prevent falls using this kind of device.
Capturing the Impact of Patient Portals Based on the Quadruple Aim and Benefits Evaluation Frameworks: Scoping Review
Authors: Avdagovska Melita , Menon Devidas , Stafinski Tania 
Published: October 2020

Background
Despite extensive and continuing research in the area of patient portals, measuring the impact of patient portals remains a convoluted process.

Objective
This study aims to explore what is known about patient portal evaluations and to provide recommendations for future endeavors. The focus is on mapping the measures used to assess the impact of patient portals on the dimensions of the Quadruple Aim (QA) framework and the Canada Health Infoway’s Benefits Evaluation (BE) framework.

Methods
A scoping review was conducted using the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley. Reporting was guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) extension for scoping reviews. A systematic and comprehensive search was conducted using the Ovid platform, and the following databases were searched: Ovid MEDLINE (R) ALL (including epub ahead of print, in-process, and other nonindexed citations), EMBASE, and PsycINFO. CINAHL on the EBSCO platform and Web of Science were searched for studies published between March 2015 and June 2020. A systematic gray literature search was conducted using the Google search engine. Extracted data were tabulated based on a coding template developed to categorize the literature into themes and areas of interest.

Results
A total of 96 studies were included for data extraction. The studies were categorized based on the QA dimensions, with strict adherence to the definitions for each dimension. From the patients’ perspective, it was determined that most evaluations focused on benefits and barriers to access, access to test results, medication adherence, condition management, medical notes, and secure messaging. From the population perspective, the evaluations focused on the increase in population outreach, decrease in disparities related to access to care services, and improvement in quality of care. From the health care workforce perspective, the evaluations focused on the impact of patients accessing medical records, impact on workflow, impact of bidirectional secure messaging, and virtual care. From the health system perspective, the evaluations focused on decreases in no-show appointments, impact on office visits and telephone calls, impact on admission and readmission rates and emergency department visits, and impact on health care use. Overall, 77 peer-reviewed studies were mapped on the expanded version of the BE framework. The mapping was performed using subdimensions to create a more precise representation of the areas that are currently explored when studying patient portals. Most of the studies evaluated more than one subdimension.

Conclusions
The QA and BE frameworks provide guidance in identifying gaps in the current literature by providing a way to show how an impact was assessed. This study highlights the need to appropriately plan how the impact will be assessed and how the findings will be translated into effective adaptations.

Evaluation of two portable pupillometers to assess clinical utility
Authors: McKay Rachel Eshima , Kohn Michael A , Schwartz Elliot S , Larson Merlin D 
Published: October 2020

Background: Pupillometers have been proposed as clinical assessment tools. We compared two pupillometers to assess measurement agreement. Materials & methods: We enrolled 30 subjects and simultaneously measured the pupil diameter and light reflex amplitude with an iPhone pupillometer and a portable infrared pupillometer. We then enrolled 40 additional subjects and made serial measurements with each device. Results: Failure occurred in 30% of attempts made with the iPhone pupillometer compared with 4% of attempts made with the infrared pupillometer (Fisher’s exact p = 0.0001). Method comparison of the two devices used simultaneously showed significant disagreement in dynamic measurements. Conclusion: The iPhone pupillometer had poor repeatability and suggests that it is not a practical tool to support clinical decisions.

Sentidos de contrassexualidade e tecnologias corporais nos diálogos de 'Bombadeira' e 'Protagonismo Trans'
Authors: Monica Eder Fernandes 
Published: October 2020

Discutem-se os possíveis sentidos de contrassexualidade e os usos de tecnologias corporais com base em discursos das personagens transexuais dos documentários Bombadeira (2007) e Protagonismo Trans (2015). Partindo de uma condução analítica pós-feminista que se vale de Rubin, Butler, Haraway e Preciado, tenta-se identificar sentidos discursivos de contrassexualidade nas falas das personagens. A metodologia baseou-se em análise fílmica, discursiva e bibliográfica. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2018n47a1147
Fronteiras móveis na definição do corpo
Authors: Discini Norma 
Published: October 2020

Trataremos do sujeito discursivo, enunciador pressuposto aos enunciados por ele construídos, na medida em que esse sujeito, como estilo, é concebido a partir de um corpo, uma voz, um tom de voz e um caráter. Tal corpo será pensado especialmente como percepção, e esta, vista como semiose, será considerada emergente da relação expressão/conteúdo dos textos. Então dos textos despontará o sujeito que sente o mundo como impacto e emoção. Para isso, após uma reflexão a ser feita no âmbito da sintaxe discursiva, em que firmaremos pressupostos teóricos sobre a enunciação e o ato de fazer-ser o sentido, examinaremos as fronteiras na constituição do corpo do ator: o sujeito enunciador firmado no papel de produtor de seus textos. Tais fronteiras serão contempladas na sua mobilidade, enquanto serão trazidos à luz mecanismos que promovem o esboroamento da ilusão referencial, principalmente no que diz respeito à fusão de temporalidades do enunciado e da enunciação na constituição da categoria de pessoa. Essa mobilidade também será contemplada conforme um tempo-espaço da percepção, para o que serão examinados movimentos de abertura do espaço, de repouso do tempo e de distensão do corpo, o que se vincula à dinâmica estabelecida entre as tensões do que é contínuo e do que é descontínuo na percepção.
NOS “LIMITES” DE FERDINAND DE SAUSSURE: COSERIU, WEINREICH, LABOV E HERZOG
Authors: Lima Maria Hozanete Alves de , Melo Felipe Morais de 
Published: October 2020

Quando se pensa em Ferdinand de Saussure, ao lado da conhecida antonomásia do tipo “Pai da Linguística Moderna”, logo vem à mente as “dicotomias saussureanas”: sincronia-diacronia, língua-fala e sintagma-paradigma. É possível que essa lembrança se estenda àqueles que jamais leram o Curso de Linguística Geral (CLG). Este trabalho investiga a compreensão de leitores de Saussure sobre ideias pontuais – interligadas às famosas dicotomias –, quais sejam, “mudança”, “sistema” e “homogeneidade”; são leitores especiais, Coseriu (1979) e Weinreich, Labov e Herzog [WLH] (2006). Refletimos sobre ideias desenvolvidas em duas de suas obras: uma relação mais integrativa entre sincronia e diacronia proposta por Coseriu (1979); a integração entre sistema e heterogeneidade pensada por WLH (2006). Procuramos mostrar, contudo, que no próprio CLG (SAUSSURE, 1995) essa relação integrativa já estava posta, malgrado a própria noção de dicotomia e os recortes metodológicos impostos por Saussure para se estudar a língua e colocar a Linguística no seio das ciências tenham favorecido um olhar de não integração entre a noção de “sistema” e “homogeneidade”, por exemplo. Consideremos, para seguirmos as balizas tradicionais da Historiografia Linguística, apenas o Curso de Linguística Geral – como produto de um Saussure canônico, difundido e ortônimo, por menos ortônimo que, a rigor, possa ser considerado o autor de uma obra que encerrou, em seu fazimento, o potencial da apocrifia – deixando, por enquanto, em “silêncio” os manuscritos saussureanos, recentemente vindos a público.
<i>“E tu, que achas tu de tudo isto?”</i>: Colonial Women, Memory and Post-Independence in João Paulo Borges Coelho’s <i>Rainhas da Noite</i>
Authors: Sousa Sandra 
Published: October 2020

This essay analyzes João Paulo Borges Coelho’s latest novel, Rainhas da Noite (2013), from the perspective of its portrayal of colonial women. My argument begins by recalling Laura Calvacante Padilha’s inspired insights into the representation of voices from pre-colonial traditions in modern African fiction. I then develop and extend Padilha’s work by including voices from the historically more recent colonial past within the fictional repertory of recovered voices. Borges Coelho’s writings indeed allude to spaces and “voices” of African tradition, as Padilha argues. I suggest, however, that it is the memory of the past of Mozambican colonial time, as well as the relation between that past and a present defined by post-independence, that constitutes the axis of aesthetic and social meaning in Rainhas da Noite. The recent past of Portuguese colonial domination permeates Borges Coelho’s novels. ---Original in English.
Situação minoritária, população minorizada, língua menor: uma reflexão sobre a valoração do estatuto das línguas na situação de contato linguístico
Authors: Ponso Letícia Cao 
Published: October 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre a centralidade da ideia de dominação e de poder nos estudos de contato linguístico acerca do estatuto das línguas. Partindo do exemplo do multilinguismo em dois países africanos na pós-colonialidade, o objetivo é questionar a visão etnocêntrica da supremacia de algumas línguas sobre outras, a qual condiciona certa verticalidade no olhar do linguista ao avaliar a valoração das línguas em contato. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n42a913
Roland Barthes e a muralha chinesa
Authors: Brandini Laura 
Published: October 2020

Em 1974, Roland Barthes e uma comitiva de intelectuais ligados à revista francesa Tel Quel visitam a China de Mao Tsé-Tung. Durante as três semanas que passa no país, Barthes anota tudo o que vê e escuta, bem como o que pensa e sente. Essas notas vêm a público em 2009, com a publicação francesa dos Cadernos da viagem à China, e mostram um escritor entediado, aprisionado pelo discurso político que esteriliza a escrita literária. Ao contrário de seus companheiros de viagem, que se posicionam a favor ou contra o regime maoísta em livros e artigos publicados quando do retorno à França, Barthes escreve um texto curto e absolutamente neutro: “E então, a China?”, uma reflexão sobre as cores pálidas que viu e o chá fraco que experimentou, desvencilhando-se do que para ele era a verdadeira armadilha, a polaridade que fixa em uma posição cristalizada a favor ou contra, forçando um engajamento político em nome de uma doxa. O presente artigo contará a história dessa viagem e analisará os textos barthesianos que dela se originaram, interrogando-se sobre a relação entre Barthes e o estrangeiro. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a745.
The denouement with a marriage in <i>Novelas</i> by Miguel de Cervantes: The example of <i>La Gitanilla</i> for a happy marriage in <i>Novelas</i> by María de Zayas
Authors: Schardong Rosangela 
Published: October 2020

In seven out of the twelve Novelas ejemplares [Exemplary Novels] (1613) by Miguel de Cervantes, a marriage celebration represents the happy ending. After overcoming different jobs and strife, characters end up by getting married in one or more cases. Although in each involvement, marriage has its particular meaning, it always ensures that the plot is exemplary. It also needs to be emphasized that marriage, as a sign of happy denouement, has other shades in Novelas amorosas y ejemplares [Enchantements of Love] (1637) by María de Zayas. The article aims to analyze and compare the elements that make marriage exemplary in the works by both story tellers. The analysis shows how María de Zayas rejects some practices found in Cervantes’s tales that structure the happy ending in marriage to provide greater autonomy to spouses and to reduce parental authority. The comparative study concludes that Zayas, possibly inspired by Gitanilla’s claims in her Novelas, significantly changes the usual formulas of plot outcome with a wedding to propose a set of prenuptial criteria that lead their exemplary female protagonists to a happy marriage.---Original in Spanish. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a781.
On Whales and Giants: Images of Leviathan in <i>New Model Army</i> and <i>The Unwritten</i>
Authors: Cardoso André Cabral de Almeida 
Published: October 2020

Fantastic and science-fictional narratives employ specific modes of representation. In both genres, figurative language can be used in a literal sense, so that symbols acquire a concrete representation in the text. The aim of this article is to examine how a specific image, the giant Leviathan as a metaphor for the aggregation of individuals in order to form the social body, is explored in two genre narratives. In the science fiction novel New Model Army, by Adam Roberts, the image of Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan is used to suggest the notion of a radical democracy in which all members of the community have an organic participation in the social body. In the graphic narrative The Unwritten, by Mike Carey, Peter Gross and Vince Locke, Hobbes’ Leviathan is explored in conjunction with Melville’s Moby-Dick in order to investigate the nature of symbolic representation and the relation between culture and objective reality. The appropriation of the metaphor of the Leviathan as a concrete symbol determines the way the two narratives develop their main themes and articulate their meanings. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a943.
