Authors: Ho Hanley J , Zhang Zoe Xiaozhu , Huang Zhilian , Aung Aung Hein , Lim Wei-Yen , Chow Angela 
Published: May 2020

Background
In early 2020, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged and spread by community and nosocomial transmission. Effective contact tracing of potentially exposed health care workers is crucial for the prevention and control of infectious disease outbreaks in the health care setting.

Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of contact tracing during the COVID-19 pandemic through the real-time locating system (RTLS) and review of the electronic medical record (EMR) at the designated hospital for COVID-19 response in Singapore.

Methods
Over a 2-day study period, all admitted patients with COVID-19, their ward locations, and the health care workers rostered to each ward were identified to determine the total number of potential contacts between patients with COVID-19 and health care workers. The numbers of staff-patient contacts determined by EMR reviews, RTLS-based contact tracing, and a combination of both methods were evaluated. The use of EMR-based and RTLS-based contact tracing methods was further validated by comparing their sensitivity and specificity against self-reported staff-patient contacts by health care workers.

Results
Of 796 potential staff-patient contacts (between 17 patients and 162 staff members), 104 (13.1%) were identified by both the RTLS and EMR, 54 (6.8%) by the RTLS alone, and 99 (12.4%) by the EMR alone; 539 (67.7%) were not identified through either method. Compared to self-reported contacts, EMR reviews had a sensitivity of 47.2% and a specificity of 77.9%, while the RTLS had a sensitivity of 72.2% and a specificity of 87.7%. The highest sensitivity was obtained by including all contacts identified by either the RTLS or the EMR (sensitivity 77.8%, specificity 73.4%).

Conclusions
RTLS-based contact tracing showed higher sensitivity and specificity than EMR review. Integration of both methods provided the best performance for rapid contact tracing, although technical adjustments to the RTLS and increasing user compliance with wearing of RTLS tags remain necessary.

Authors: Moran Ryan N , Murray Nicholas G , Esco Michael R , Dobbs Ward , McAllister-Deitrick Jamie 
Published: May 2020

Aim: To examine the effects of maximal exercise on symptoms, vestibular/ocular motor screening (VOMS) and postural stability. Methodology: A total of 17 college-aged individuals completed a symptom scale, VOMS and the modified Clinical Test for Sensory Interaction and Balance (m-CTSIB), followed by a graded maximal exercise treadmill test. Assessments were repeated post exercise, 20 and 40 min post-exercise. Results: Significant increases in total symptoms, symptom severity scores and m-CTSIB scores from baseline to immediate post exercise were reported. Following 20-min recovery, improvements were noted on symptoms, visual motion sensitivity on VOMS and m-CTSIB. Conclusion: Symptoms and postural stability are influenced by exercise and following 20 min of rest, returned to baseline, indicating that a period of 20 min following a suspected concussion may be needed to negate exercise effects.

Something Phish-y is Going On Here: A Teaching Case on Business Email Compromise
Authors: Bakarich Kathleen M. , Baranek Devon 
Published: May 2020

SUMMARY
This case utilizes a real-world example of a U.S. public company that fell victim to a Business Email Compromise (BEC) scheme in which an employee inadvertently wired millions of dollars to fraudulent accounts based upon email instructions purportedly sent by a company executive and external legal counsel. This is a timely issue to examine given its rising prevalence and magnitude in the corporate world. The case allows students to examine a topic (phishing techniques and email scams) that they are likely to be familiar with on a conceptual level, through the lens of internal controls and external auditing. Examining the case information, SEC filings, and auditing guidance, students will gain an understanding of internal control issues related to BEC and critically think of ways to remediate or implement controls to reduce cybersecurity risk, as well as consider the external auditor's growing responsibilities related to technology and its associated risks.

Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE
Patients with obesity are at increased risk of exacerbations from viral respiratory infections. However, the association of obesity with the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is unclear. We examined this association using data from the only referral hospital in Shenzhen, China.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
A total of 383 consecutively hospitalized patients with COVID-19 admitted from 11 January 2020 to 16 February 2020 and followed until 26 March 2020 at the Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen were included. Underweight was defined as a BMI &lt;18.5 kg/m2, normal weight as 18.5–23.9 kg/m2, overweight as 24.0–27.9 kg/m2, and obesity as ≥28 kg/m2.

RESULTS
Of the 383 patients, 53.1% were normal weight, 4.2% were underweight, 32.0% were overweight, and 10.7% were obese at admission. Obese patients tended to have symptoms of cough (P = 0.03) and fever (P = 0.06) compared with patients who were not obese. Compared with normal weight patients, those who were overweight had 1.84-fold odds of developing severe COVID-19 (odds ratio [OR] 1.84, 95% CI 0.99–3.43, P = 0.05), while those who were obese were at 3.40-fold odds of developing severe disease (OR 3.40, 95% CI 1.40–2.86, P = 0.007), after adjusting for age, sex, epidemiological characteristics, days from disease onset to hospitalization, presence of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, liver disease, and cancer, and drug used for treatment. Additionally, after similar adjustment, men who were obese versus those who were normal weight were at increased odds of developing severe COVID-19 (OR 5.66, 95% CI 1.80–17.75, P = 0.003).

CONCLUSIONS
In this study, obese patients had increased odds of progressing to severe COVID-19. As the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 may continue to spread worldwide, clinicians should pay close attention to obese patients, who should be carefully managed with prompt and aggressive treatment.

OBJECTIVE
Diabetes is common in COVID-19 patients and associated with unfavorable outcomes. We aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes and to analyze the risk factors for in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients with diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This two-center retrospective study was performed at two tertiary hospitals in Wuhan, China. Confirmed COVID-19 patients with diabetes (N = 153) who were discharged or died from 1 January 2020 to 8 March 2020 were identified. One sex- and age-matched COVID-19 patient without diabetes was randomly selected for each patient with diabetes. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were abstracted. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors associated with the mortality in these patients.

RESULTS
Of 1,561 COVID-19 patients, 153 (9.8%) had diabetes, with a median age of 64.0 (interquartile range 56.0–72.0) years. A higher proportion of intensive care unit admission (17.6% vs. 7.8%, P = 0.01) and more fatal cases (20.3% vs. 10.5%, P = 0.017) were identified in COVID-19 patients with diabetes than in the matched patients. Multivariable Cox regression analyses of these 306 patients showed that hypertension (hazard ratio [HR] 2.50, 95% CI 1.30–4.78), cardiovascular disease (HR 2.24, 95% CI 1.19–4.23), and chronic pulmonary disease (HR 2.51, 95% CI 1.07–5.90) were independently associated with in-hospital death. Diabetes (HR 1.58, 95% CI 0.84–2.99) was not statistically significantly associated with in-hospital death after adjustment. Among patients with diabetes, nonsurvivors were older (76.0 vs. 63.0 years), most were male (71.0% vs. 29.0%), and they were more likely to have underlying hypertension (83.9% vs. 50.0%) and cardiovascular disease (45.2% vs. 14.8%) (all P values &lt;0.05). Age ≥70 years (HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.03–5.56) and hypertension (HR 3.10, 95% CI 1.14–8.44) were independent risk factors for in-hospital death of patients with diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS
COVID-19 patients with diabetes had worse outcomes compared with the sex- and age-matched patients without diabetes. Older age and comorbid hypertension independently contributed to in-hospital death of patients with diabetes.
Deus como "luz" no Cristianismo e no Islã: literatura comparada e teologia da Revelação
Authors: Maçaneiro Marcial 
Published: May 2020

Resumo: Este artigo examina os textos sacros em que Deus é nomeado Luz, no Cristianismo (Bíblia) e no Islã (Alcorão), como expressão literário-teológica do monoteísmo abraâmico. Do ponto de vista literário, parte-se do contexto de solarização das divindades médio-orientais e egípcias, com seus registros, para se abordar as páginas bíblicas e corânicas em que Deus recebe atributos de luminosidade, brilho e esplendor, como Luz. Essa literatura é analisada a partir do uso análogo ou metafórico da luz como qualidade divina, mediante abordagem comparada de textos bíblicos e corânicos. Dentre dezenas de citações, destacam-se textos sapienciais, proféticos, joaninos e paulinos, da Bíblia; bem como as Suras que se referem à luminosidade solar e divina, especialmente o Verso da Luz (Sura 24,35) – que é um poema. Do ponto de vista teológico, explicitam-se as questões hermenêuticas dos referidos textos para a teologia da Revelação no Cristianismo e no Islã, indo-se da linguagem (o falar de Deus) à ontologia (o ser de Deus). Tal exame busca subsídio em comentadores dos textos sacros, especialmente aqueles que tratam do Nome divino da Luz, como o Pseudo-Dionísio e Schökel, Al-Gazali e Al-Razi, entre outros. À conclusão, nota-se a argumentação pendular entre afirmação e negação de Deus como luz nos dois Credos, por via mística (a Luz como acesso ao Deus abscôndito) ou por via dialética (a Luz como metáfora do Deus relevado).Palavras-chave: Nomes de Deus. Luz. Revelação. Cristianismo. Islã.

Published: May 2020

Based on two-dimensional (2D) bit-embedding/-extraction approach, we propose a simple data hiding for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The patientâ€™s sensitive (diagnostic) data can be efficiently hidden into 2D ECG host via the proposed decision rules. The performance of the proposed method using various sizes of the host bundles was demonstrated. Simulations have confirmed that the average SNR of the proposed method with a host bundle of size 3 Â´ 3 is superior to that of existing techniques, while our payload is competitive to theirs. In addition, our method with a host bundle of size 2 Â´ Â 2 generated the best SNR values, while that with a host bundle of size 4 Â´ Â 4 provided the largest payload among the compared methods. Moreover, the proposed method provides robustness performance better than existing ECG steganography. Namely, our method provides high hiding capacity and robust against the attacks such as cropping, inversion, scaling, translation, truncation, and Gaussian noise-addition attacks. Since the proposed method is simple, it can be employed in real-time applications such as portable biometric devices.

Published: May 2020

The need for multiple transducer positions, especially from right parasternal windows, is consistently mentioned in the recommendations for the accurate measurement of peak velocities across a stenotic aortic valve, but yet poorly adopted.
We performed a subanalysis of the largest prospective series on the right parasternal acoustic windows in patients with aortic stenosis (330 consecutive) to calculate the degree of misalignment and estimate the potential outcome implication of this often-forgotten approach.
The right parasternal view was highly feasible with an average estimated misalignment from the apical view of 14 ± 16 degree; in 10 cases, an estimated misalignment >40 degree. Right parasternal assessment (vs. apical alone) provided a significant reclassification from moderate to severe or even very-severe aortic valve stenosis. Considering a wellestablished survival benefit provided by either percutaneous or surgical valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis the reclassification would result in approximately 1 life-year saved for every 30–35 patients in whom parasternal view were effectively utilized.

Authors: Hosain Md Sajjad , Liu Ping 
Published: May 2020

AbstractObjective: The main objective of this paper is to explore/investigate the role of social media in searching and acquiring the talented employees and the appropriate rationales behind and ways of using the social media for such purposes with due advantages and risks involved.Methodology: This paper uses the literatures published from 2010 to 2019 to highlight the research on social media influence on searching talent for organizations. For due purpose, Scopus and ResearchGate databases have been utilized to search the papers using the keywords such as social media, social networking sites, online recruitment & selection, candidate screening, hiring, human resources management and talent search.Findings: Although social media is getting popular among employers, they are not utilizing this platform as the main rather as secondary sources. LinkedIn is the most preferred source among the employers for searching and acquiring talents.Value Added: The paper is expected to contribute to the existing literature through an in-depth literature survey as well provide some proper guidelines for the HR professionals to conduct efficient search and recruitment.Recommendations: The authors have provided some action recommendations based on the literature survey such as (a) the recruiters should make proper reliability and validity tests of the information collected through social media, (b) organizations that intends to use social media information need to develop a proper and transparent social media policy and user codes of conduct, (c) the codes of conducts should be linked to the training manual of the HR professionals who involve in talent search and acquisition, (d) organizations should use social media for searching talents more than screening/selecting, (e) social media should be used as a secondary instrument rather than the sole one; and (f) organizations/hiring professionals should focus only on job related information and professional social media (such as LinkedIn).
