Authors: Wang Youfa , Min Jungwon , Khuri Jacob , Xue Hong , Xie Bo , A Kaminsky Leonard , J Cheskin Lawrence 
Published: January 2020

Background
Diabetes and obesity have become epidemics and costly chronic diseases. The impact of mobile health (mHealth) interventions on diabetes and obesity management is promising; however, studies showed varied results in the efficacy of mHealth interventions.

Objective
This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth interventions for diabetes and obesity treatment and management on the basis of evidence reported in reviews and meta-analyses and to provide recommendations for future interventions and research.

Methods
We systematically searched the PubMed, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and Cochrane databases for systematic reviews published between January 1, 2005, and October 1, 2019. We analyzed 17 reviews, which assessed 55,604 original intervention studies, that met the inclusion criteria. Of those, 6 reviews were included in our meta-analysis.

Results
The reviews primarily focused on the use of mobile apps and text messaging and the self-monitoring and management function of mHealth programs in patients with diabetes and obesity. All reviews examined changes in biomarkers, and some reviews assessed treatment adherence (n=7) and health behaviors (n=9). Although the effectiveness of mHealth interventions varied widely by study, all reviews concluded that mHealth was a feasible option and had the potential for improving patient health when compared with standard care, especially for glycemic control (−0.3% to −0.5% greater reduction in hemoglobin A1c) and weight reduction (−1.0 kg to −2.4 kg body weight). Overall, the existing 6 meta-analysis studies showed pooled favorable effects of these mHealth interventions (−0.79, 95% CI −1.17 to −0.42; I2=90.5).

Conclusions
mHealth interventions are promising, but there is limited evidence about their effectiveness in glycemic control and weight reduction. Future research to develop evidence-based mHealth strategies should use valid measures and rigorous study designs. To enhance the effectiveness of mHealth interventions, future studies are warranted for the optimal formats and the frequency of contacting patients, better tailoring of messages, and enhancing usability, which places a greater emphasis on maintaining effectiveness over time.
Experiences of Internet-Based Stepped Care in Individuals With Cancer and Concurrent Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression: Qualitative Exploration Conducted Alongside the U-CARE AdultCan Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Hauffman Anna , Alfonsson Sven , Igelström Helena , Johansson Birgitta 
Published: January 2020

Background
Individuals with newly diagnosed cancer may experience impaired health in several aspects and often have a large need for information and support. About 30% will experience symptoms of anxiety and depression, with varying needs of knowledge and support. Despite this, many of these patients lack appropriate support. Internet-based support programs may offer a supplement to standard care services, but must be carefully explored from a user perspective.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to explore the participants’ perceptions of the relevance and benefits of an internet-based stepped care program (iCAN-DO) targeting individuals with cancer and concurrent symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Methods
We performed a qualitative study with an inductive approach, in which we used semistructured questions to interview 15 individuals using iCAN-DO. We analyzed the interviews using content analysis.

Results
The analysis found 17 subcategories regarding the stepped care intervention, resulting in 4 categories. Participants described the need for information as large and looked upon finding information almost as a survival strategy when receiving the cancer diagnosis. iCAN-DO was seen as a useful, reliable source of information and support. It was used as a complement to standard care and as a means to inform next of kin. Increased knowledge was a foundation for continued processing of participants’ own feelings. The optimal time to gain access to iCAN-DO would have been when being informed of the diagnosis. The most common denominator was feeling acknowledged and supported, but with a desire for further adaptation of the system to each individual’s own situation and needs.

Conclusions
Users saw the internet-based stepped care program as safe and reliable and used it as a complement to standard care. Similar interventions may gain from more personalized contents, being integrated into standard care, or using symptom tracking to adjust the contents. Offering this type of program close to diagnosis may provide benefits to users.

Influencing Pain Inferences Using Random Numerical Anchoring: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Lewinson Rebecca Elizabeth , Katz Joel D 
Published: January 2020

BackgroundNumerical anchoring occurs when exposure to a numeric quantity influences a person’s subsequent judgment involving other quantities. This could be applicable to the evaluation of pain, where exposure to an unrelated number before the evaluation of pain could influence pain ratings.ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine whether exposure to a random numeric anchor influences subsequent pain intensity ratings of a hypothetical patient.MethodsIn this study, 385 participants read a vignette describing a patient with chronic pain before being randomly assigned to one of four groups. Groups 1 and 2 spun an 11-wedge number wheel (0-10), which was, unbeknown to the participants, programmed to stop on a high number (8) or a low number (2), respectively. Group 3 spun a similar letter wheel (A-K), which was programmed to stop on either the letter C or I (control 1). Group 4 did not spin a wheel (control 2). Participants were then asked to rate the patient’s pain intensity using a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale.ResultsThe high-number group rated the patient’s pain (median 8, IQR 2) significantly higher than the letter wheel control (median 7, IQR 2; P=.02) and the low-number group (median 6, IQR 2; P<.001). The low-number group rated the pain significantly lower than controls 1 and 2 (median 7, IQR 2; both P=.045).ConclusionsPain ratings were influenced by prior exposure to a random number with no relevant information about the patient’s pain, indicating anchoring had occurred. However, contrary to the traditional definition of anchoring where anchoring occurs even when participants are unaware of the anchor’s influence, in this study, the anchoring effect was seen only in participants who believed that the anchor had influenced them. This suggests that anchoring effects could potentially occur among health care providers tasked with evaluating a patient’s pain and should be evaluated further.

Published: January 2020

In recent years, Indonesia needs import million tons of salt to satisfy domestic industries demand. The production of salt in Indonesia is highly dependent on the weather. Therefore, this article aims to develop a prediction model by examining rainfall, humidity and wind speed data to estimate salt production. In this research, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method is used to develop a model based on data collected from Kaliumenet Sumenep Madura. The model analysis uses the full experimental factorial design to determine the effect of the ANN parameter differences. Then, the selected model performance compared with the estimate predictor of Holt-Winters. The results present that ANN-based models are more accurate and efficient for predicting salt field productivity.
As relações retóricas de hiperligações de notícias de divulgação científica digitais e a encenação midiática
Authors: Giering Maria Eduarda 
Published: January 2020

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa quantitativa que examinou notícias de divulgação científica hipertextuais publicadas na imprensa brasileira. Partimos do link (ou da hiperligação) e investigamos a relação retórica que se estabelece entre o texto de origem e o texto de destino (verbal ou não verbal) a que o produtor remete o leitor, direcionando-o para um possível percurso de leitura. Assumimos a hipótese de que o gênero discursivo exerce papel regulador das relações retóricas que emergem de hiperligações assim como a encenação midiática da divulgação da ciência protagonizada pelas revistas. O corpus de estudo foram 150 notícias de divulgação da ciência, 50 exemplares de cada uma das revistas: Superinteressante, Galileu e Ciência Hoje. Para a investigação, convocaram-se a Teoria Semiolinguística do Discurso e a Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). A primeira forneceu-nos as bases para pensarmos as restrições discursivas da midiatização da ciência; a segunda, os fundamentos para identificarmos a relação retórica que emerge da estrutura da hiperligação. Os resultados mostram recorrência de um número limitado de relações retóricas e, entre as revistas, variações percentuais de ocorrência de relações, apontando para a influência do gênero discursivo e da encenação midiática que cada publicação propõe.

Published: January 2020

El concreto u hormigón es uno de los materiales más versátiles usados en la construcción. En la actualidad, se usa extensivamente en la industria, ya que puede ser moldeado de formas casi arbitrarias a través de moldes rígidos denominados encofrados. La manera en que se disponen los distintos elementos para formar el encofrado y las restricciones asociadas, genera retos computacionales interesantes que impactan directamente la industria de la construcción. En este artículo se propone la implementación de un modelo de restricciones que genera encofrados para muros rectilíneos usando formaletas modulares. Este enfoque se basa en la descomposición de muros y su representación en instancias del problema de cambio de monedas. Para este propósito, se utiliza el concepto de descomposición rectangular orientada para simplificar la entrada del problema y abordar la solución como un problema de optimización por restricciones (COP). Los experimentos con entradas de prueba ofrecen soluciones en tiempos inferiores a 200 segundos, cuyo resultado es un enfoque práctico y eficiente para la compleja tarea del diseño de encofrados.

Published: January 2020

Women trafficking and human rights violations relate to the arena of continuous research that has created concerns for the issues incidental to the said problem. One among the said incidental issues that attracts the significant fraction of concern recount as the problem of child trafficking over which a brief overlook will be drawn by the present paper. Domestic and international laws are acting to protect the human rights violation through route of child trafficking for various purposes. Current paper will emphasize over the child trafficking leading to sexual abuse of children.
One the paper clears the legal protection being delegates by the home machinery for prevention of child abuse and trafficking, the next step will be to focus upon those societal scenarios that lead to this menace of trafficking. Formerly going in realm of sociological study and solution of child trafficking, a shift will be stressed upon the legal requisite that is needed in the system to filter the cause and operation of child trafficking network in India. Child trafficking is segregated in an assortment of types depending upon their territorial operation hence generates a transnational apprehension to tackle the issue. International law and its implementation are two major areas that need to be revisited wherein the paper concludes that even in the presence of sufficient laws with few awaited, the quandary of its implementation makes these laws lunatic of which the ultimate sufferers are the children.
Behavioural Practices and Procurement Performance in Uganda
Authors: Kutosi Ayub Masaba , Moses Muhwezi , Eya Sarah 
Published: January 2020

Despite the above reforms in procurement processes in Ugandaâ€™s State owned Enterprises, public procurement performance has not improved. This has consequently led to poor performance of State owned Enterprises. There have been allegations of a presence of opportunistic behaviour of procurement officers, absence of trust and mal practices like corruption and bribery by the contracting parties in the State owned Enterprises. This paper presents a study on the relationship between Behavioural practices and Procurement Performance in Ugandaâ€™s State owned Enterprises.
This was a quantitative study confined to the area of behavioural practices and procurement performance of 20 State Owned Enterprises where each contributed 8 respondents making a total of 160. Data were collected, analyzed and presented using quantitative techniques.
Correlation results show that there is a significant positive relationship between behavioural practices and procurement performance (r =.533**, p<.01). These results further highlight the fact that if elements of behavioural practices especially if Trust is well addressed, the institutions will realize an improvement in the procurement performance. This is because trust was found to be a very strong factor in determining behavioural practices.
Further the regression model shows that Behavioural practices can significantly predict procurement performance in SOEs (Beta= .399, Sig. =.000).
We recommend that, the behaviour of those involved in the contracting process must be checked. This can be through reference checks and selecting people with a proven record of integrity. Trust should be emphasized by both the State owned Enterprises and their respective providers in order to build a positive long-term relationship. Acts like deceit, cynicism and flattery must also be avoided at all costs.

Published: January 2020

The study sought to investigate the relationship social networking construct and firm performance. A quantitative research design was employed, whereby data were collected, analyzed and presented using quantitative techniques. Primary data was collected directly from the respondents who are intrapreneurs employed in small and medium bakery and beverage manufacturing firms in Kampala Uganda.
The results show a significant and positive relationship between social networks and firm performance (r=.521**, p<.01). This implies that, adhering to and implementing the advice and other information from the professionals, experienced business associates and colleagues will enhance the level of performance of the small scale manufacturing businesses.
Further, regression results show that social networks predicted firm performance (Beta = .445, Sig=000).
This study posits that social networks can be a cost-effective way of improving small firmsâ€™ performance, particularly manufacturing firms. It can therefore be recommended that, small firms support information exchange and resource sharing within and without the business through building blocks that enhance trust amongst its employees. This can be inexpensive method of finding out more efficient ways of operating thus improved firm performance.
