Abdominal tuberculosis misdiagnosed as acute surgical abdomen and carcinomatosis
Authors: Meregildo-Rodriguez Edinson Dante , Tafur-Ramirez Rosita Claudia , Espino-Saavedra Walter Giovanny , Angulo-Prentice Sonia Fiorella 
Published: May 2021

Tuberculosis is a major public health problem worldwide. Tuberculosis can be confused with other diseases and its diagnosis is frequently delayed, especially in areas of low prevalence. We report two cases of young patients who presented preoperatively as acute abdomen due to acute appendicitis. During the intra-operatory these cases were misdiagnosed as “carcinomatosis”, and in the postoperative period these cases were complicated with septic shock. In both cases, histopathology showed caseating granulomas which suggested tuberculous peritonitis and enteritis. Subsequently, RT-PCR in peritoneal fluid confirmed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In one case the clinical response to treatment was excellent, and the other case was fatal. The aim of this report is to bring attention to the spectrum of tuberculosis, and to serve as a reminder of tuberculosis as the great imitator that can masquerade as cancer. Most tuberculous patients erroneously diagnosed as cancer have extensive “neoplastic” lesions that would suggest an advanced-stage malignancy. Assuming a case as an advanced cancer would reduce the chance of performing more exhaustive studies to get a definitive diagnosis and clinicians would be tempted to offer only palliative treatments.

Published: May 2021

High resolution luminosity product measurements of neutral beam emission in magnetized plasmas are severely limited by the artificial Doppler broadening inherent to the use of large diameter collection optics. In this paper, a broadening compensation method is developed for the spatial heterodyne spectroscopy interferometric technique. The compensation technique greatly reduces the artificial broadening, thereby enabling high resolution measurements at a significantly higher photon flux than previously available. Compensated and uncompensated measurements of emission generated by impact excitation of 61 keV deuterium neutrals in a tokamak plasma at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility are presented. The spectral width of the compensated measurement is

Published: May 2021

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of network protocols for control and management of optical networks and optical network equipment as seen in current trends. This paper presents the YANG data modeling language and its associated RESTCONF/NETCONF protocols. Later, it details multiple data models used in optical networks, such as IETF TEAS, ONF Transport API, OpenROADM, and OpenConfig. It also presents multiple protocols for telemetry (i.e., YANG PUSH, gRPC, and gNMI). Later, a zero-touch SDN controller architecture for multiple standard-defining organizations (SDOs) is presented, to support the usage of multiple protocols in a zero-touch optical network. Finally, the presented protocol implementations are experimentally evaluated and compared in terms of latency and overhead. The paper explores the use of these protocols (e.g., in research, demonstrations, and open-source optical networking projects) and provides results and recommendations for their integration in equipment and networks.
Abuse of older adults before moving to old age homes in Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolitan City, Nepal: A cross-sectional study

Published: May 2021

IntroductionThe number of older individuals relocating from their homes to old age homes is increasing in Nepal. This study was conducted to assess the reasons why older people chose to move to old age homes, the status and forms of abuse they experienced, and the risk factors associated with their abuse before moving to old age homes.Materials and methodsThis study was a cross sectional study conducted among older adults currently residing in all the old age homes of Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolitan City. Complete enumeration of the respondents was done and data was collected consecutively, using a semi-structured interview schedule, from all older adults aged 60 years and above who had been living in the homes for at least a month. The total sample size was 109. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression was used as an inferential statistics to determine the predictors of abuse.ResultsA majority of the respondents (56.0%) came to old age homes on their own volition, 24.7% reported that they came to the homes because they were physically weak and they had no one to care for them at their residence, while 11% reported that they were forcefully sent by their caregivers. Out of total respondents, 60.6% reported that they experienced some form of abuse before they came to the old age home: most frequent was caregiver neglect (34.9%) and verbal abuse (34.9%), while few experienced financial abuse (2.8%). Women were at a higher risk of abuse than men (p<0.05, OR = 4.430, CI = 1.695–11.577) prior to their transfer to old age homes.ConclusionsA majority of the older adults who transferred to old age homes in Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolitan city had been earlier abused by their caregivers, mainly through neglect and verbal abuse, and women were at a higher risk for abuse than men.

Introduction
E-cigarette advertising has been shown to increase e-cigarette awareness and use. Although e-cigarette marketing in the early 2010s has been well-documented, little is known about how it has changed in recent years in response to the regulatory scrutiny from the FDA and the Congress to combat youth vaping epidemic. This study aims to examine the exposure to e-cigarette TV advertising among youth and adults in the U.S. from 2013 to 2019, overall and by media market and brand.

Methods
Quarterly data on e-cigarette TV advertising exposure, measured by target rating points (TRPs), and expenditures from 2013 to 2019 were compiled from the StradegyTM of Kantar Media. Trends of quarterly e-cigarette advertising TRPs were reported by age group, market, and brand.

Results
Over the study period, overall exposure to e-cigarette TV advertising was higher among adults than among youth. E-cigarette advertising TRPs and expenditures were relatively stable, despite intermittent fluctuations, between 2013 Q1 and 2017 Q1 except for a one-time dip in 2015 Q3, followed by a sharp decline in 2017 Q2 and stayed low till the end of 2018. A resurgence of e-cigarette advertising TRPs occurred in 2019 Q1, led by the advertising from JUUL, Blu, and Vuse, which peaked in the third quarter of 2019, with quarterly TRPs reaching 316.8 for youth and 1,701.9 for adults, and quarterly advertising expenditure totaling $31 million.

Conclusions
Significant variations, both over time and across media markets and brands, were observed for e-cigarette televised advertising between 2013 and 2019. Following a lull in TV advertising in 2017/18, major e-cigarette companies have substantially increased advertising of their products on American television since early 2019, resulting in a surge in exposure to e-cigarette advertising among both youth and adults. Our findings highlighted the importance of continued monitoring of e-cigarette advertising in the U.S.

IntroductionWork-life conflicts (WLC) may impact health, but few studies prospectively consider the impact of WLC on objective outcomes such as cardiovascular disease. Using data from the Gutenberg Health Study (GHS), we examined if WLC at baseline was associated with an increased five-year incidence of cardiovascular events (myocardial infarct, stroke, atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery disease, coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, sudden cardiac death). We also considered if WLC was associated with incident hypertension and arterial stiffness and if the effects of WLC on cardiovascular health differ for men and women.MethodsA working subsample of the 15,010 GHS cohort participants completed the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, which included five "work-privacy conflict" questions at baseline and at the five-year follow-up. Relative risks for incident hypertension due to increased WLC at baseline (WLC scores exceeding 60 out of 100) were estimated with Poisson regression in the subgroup of participants without hypertension at baseline (n = 2426). Categories of WLC at baseline and follow-up were also used to examine the risk of hypertension due to chronic/recurrent WLC. In this subgroup, we also examined the association between WLC as a continuous score ranging from 0 to 100 with change to arterial stiffness after five years using linear regression. Hazard ratios were estimated for incident cardiovascular events in a larger subsample of participants without prevalent cardiovascular disease at baseline (n = 3698) using Cox regression. We used various multivariable regression models to adjust for sex, age, socioeconomic status, occupational, household, and cardiovascular risk factors.ResultsWe found no association between WLC and incident hypertension or increased arterial stiffness. The fully-adjusted relative risk for WLC >60 at baseline and hypertension was 0.93 (95% 0.74–1.17). The risk of hypertension due to chronic/recurrent WLC >60 was increased but not statistically significant (RR = 1.13, 95% CI 0.83–1.54). Overall, hazard ratios for incident cardiovascular events were also not increased. However, stratifying the results by sex resulted in a hazard ratio of 1.47 (95% CI 0.54–3.98) for incident cardiovascular disease among women in the fully adjusted model.ConclusionsAlthough our results were not statistically significant, they indicate that WLC is negatively impacting the cardiovascular health of women. While these results need to be confirmed with additional research and a longer follow-up, interventions to prevent WLC will promote health and could be especially beneficial for women.

Published: May 2021

IntroductionAfter the acute treatment phase, breast cancer patients often experience low quality of life and impaired mental health, which could potentially be improved by offering cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and addressing exercise and dietary habits. However, CBT and other behavioural interventions are rarely available beyond the acute treatment phase. Internet-based interventions could bridge such treatment gaps, given their flexibility and scalability. In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), we investigated the effects of such an intervention (“Optimune”) over three months.MethodsThis RCT included 363 female breast cancer survivors (age range = 30–70), recruited from the community, who had completed the active treatment phase. Inclusion criteria were: breast cancer diagnosis less than 5 years ago and acute treatment completion at least 1 month ago. Participants were randomly assigned to (1) an intervention group (n= 181), in which they received care as usual (CAU) plus 12-month access toOptimuneimmediately after randomization, or (2) a control group (n= 182), in which they received CAU andOptimuneafter a delay of 3 months. Primary endpoints were quality of life (QoL), physical activity, and dietary habits at three months. We hypothesized that intervention group participants would report better QoL, more physical activity, and improved dietary habits after 3 months.ResultsIntention-to-treat (ITT) analyses revealed significant effects on QoL (d= 0.27, 95% CI: 0.07–0.48) and dietary habits (d= 0.36, 95% CI: 0.15–0.56), but the effect on physical exercise was not significant (d= 0.30; 95% CI: 0.10–0.51).DiscussionThese findings suggest the effectiveness ofOptimune, a new CBT-based Internet intervention for breast cancer survivors, in facilitating improvements in quality of life and dietary habits. Efforts to disseminate this intervention more broadly may be warranted.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov,NCT03643640. Registered August 23rd 2018,https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03643640.
caractéristiques des métiers de la communication d’entreprise au Togo
Authors: YAO – BAGLO Namoin 
Published: May 2021

Les métiers de la communication d’entreprise bien qu’ayant fait leur apparition dans les années 90 au Togo restent encore méconnus dans leur complexité et richesse. Les hommes et les femmes en charge de la communication dans bon nombre d’organisations bien qu’ayant un profil atypique et des parcours professionnels hybrides proviennent majoritairement du journalisme. L’ancienne fonction « attaché de presse » devenue en 2007 « conseiller en communication » au sein des institutions de la république mérite une clarification pour éviter le flou qui l’entoure actuellement. Cet article basé sur une étude longitudinale débutée depuis 2013, en mobilisant quatre terrains, s’intéresse à ces professionnels et à leurs métiers en montrant leur particularité dans un pays comme le Togo.
Cuisine (scientifique) et dépendance (entrepreneuriale). Enrôlement du chercheur dans l’activité entrepreneuriale et enrôlement de l’entrepreneur dans la recherche académique
Authors: Sevin Élodie , Heller Thomas 
Published: May 2021

Nous revenons sur une recherche ethnographique au côté de deux prestataires de services alimentaires aux entreprises dans les Hauts-de-France. Un retour réflexif sur la genèse de ce travail nous permet de rendre compte de ce que les professionnels « font à la recherche » dans le contexte de transformations multiples du côté de la production de la recherche publique académique et du côté des entreprises. La réflexion proposée permet de pointer le risque d’instrumentalisation d'une recherche par des professionnels dont le rôle glisse de « commanditaires » à coproducteurs à des fins économiques, le risque de dépendance de chercheurs vis-à-vis de professionnels enquêtés, mais aussi les possibilités de trouver un espace différent qui s’écarte de la recherche évaluative.
Chercheurs et communicateurs en communication publique : positionnements dissemblables pour une construction de légitimité disciplinaire en partage ?
Authors: Bessières Dominique 
Published: May 2021

Cet article propose une réflexion sur les conditions de rapprochements possibles entre chercheurs et communicateurs. Ces acteurs n’obéissent pas aux mêmes attentes, toutefois des « ponts » peuvent être érigés, théoriques et pratiques, entre eux. C’est ce que nous voulons étudier au travers de la communication publique et plus particulièrement de l’association professionnelle du même nom. Avec l’investissement d’un chercheur dans cette association, l’enjeu est de déterminer en quoi la communication publique peut représenter un espace de légitimation en partage pour ces acteurs dissemblables.
« C’est tellement plus facile d’obtenir des confidences sur un oreiller » : le mythe de la salope chez les journalistes sportives québécoises
Authors: St-Pierre Marilou 
Published: May 2021

Les journalistes sportives évoluent dans un milieu hétérocentré où les relations qu’elles entretiennent avec les athlètes sont scrutées à la loupe. Dans cet article, nous verrons qu’entre 1970 et 2015, le mythe de la « salope », soit l’idée répandue selon laquelle les journalistes sportives choisiraient ce métier dans le but d’entretenir des relations intimes et sexuelles avec les sportifs, s’est peu à peu implanté au Québec. Ce mythe crée un double standard entre ce qui est perçu comme une pratique légitime pour les hommes et ce qui est acceptable pour les femmes, en plus de faire des journalistes sportives les gardiennes de la moralité dans un environnement où les demandes à leur égard sont contradictoires.

Cet article analyse les usages que les gestionnaires de communautés en ligne (community managers) font des différentes formes de quantifications de leurs activités, et de celles de leurs publics, proposées par les plateformes numériques. Cette analyse des « métriques numériques » se base sur une enquête par questionnaire (n=545) et une série de 22 entretiens avec des praticiens du community management. Elle met en exergue le rôle d’interface de ces professionnels de la communication entre les plateformes et leurs organisations, l’importance de ces mesures pour diriger leurs actions autant que leurs aspects performatifs.
A review of Turkey’s high-speed rail experience

Published: May 2021

The multidimensional characteristics of the HSR networks make debated the benefits of them. In this context, the aim of this study is to review of Turkey’s HSR systems from spatial equity perspective within the framework of recent research and developments. The latest secondary data from the official statistics of the Ministries of Development; Environment and Urbanization; Industry and Technology of Turkey has been used for the purpose of the analysis. The research methods included: critical analysis of the source literature, analysis of secondary data (desk-research) and graphic methods (tables and maps), by means of which the results of the study have been presented. The main argument of study is that considering the current geographical location of the HSR network of the country, it creates challenges in terms of spatial equity and deepens the regional polarization. The existing HSR network has facilitated mobility, especially in terms of domestic tourism. However, the usage of the HSR by a limited part of population and restrictions applied due to the COVID-19 pandemic question the amount of returns of the HSR’s costs, which are enough expensive investments in Turkey. On the other hand, increasing inequalities arising from the HSR infrastructures shaped on the basis of factors such as the geographical features of the country, general development level, population and demand density, are tried to be minimized by roadway and airway alternatives.
Basic Digital Image Color Analysis for Nondestructive Testing of Setting and Curing Process of Building Products: Application to Thin Render Layers Sprayed at Building Site
Authors: Agena Kanashiro Felipe Arturo , Zamora Mestre Joan Lluís 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Many building products are put in place in liquid or plastic state. During the first hours and days, the products set and dry, changing their mechanical properties, and their visual aspect also changes in parallel because of the hardening process. In the case of sprayed products, the technical supervisor must know at any time the quality of every sprayed layer and finally determine when it has reached its point of maturity that allows considering it as ready or suitable to receive the next layer. Experimented professionals often use personal visual ability to recognize the evolution of visual colors and surface textures of thin render layers applied on site as capacity to determine this right moment, especially in the case of dry mix sprayed products that harden progressively during curing process. However, these visual assessments are not considered decisive as a technical procedure to assess the evolution of the sprayed product properties. As they are thin layers, it can be considered that the information acquired from their surface is sufficiently representative of their interior qualities. The aim of this study is to correlate information obtained in successive local measurements of humidity and penetration resistance taken on the early surface of a dry mix product just sprayed (portland cement mortar and gypsum plaster) during its setting phase and to compare it with its surface digital color evolution during this process. The goal was to explore whether it is possible to establish a relationship between evolution of resistance penetration and evolution of some digital image basic parameters during the setting and drying period. If this relationship were sufficient, conventional point-to-point contact tests (destructive tests) could be replaced in the future by nondestructive surface visual tests. This is very useful at the building site where there are big surfaces to assess and only a short time to make the right decisions.

The Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS) is an organization whose mission focuses on bringing together scholars who want to improve methods and practices in psychological science. The organization reaffirmed in June 2020 that “[we] cannot do good science without diverse voices,” and acknowledged that “right now the demographics of SIPS are unrepresentative of the field of psychology, which is in turn unrepresentative of the global population. We have work to do when it comes to better supporting Black scholars and other underrepresented minorities.”
The purpose of the Global Engagement Task Force, started in January 2020, was to explore suggestions made after the 2019 Annual Conference, held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, around inclusion and access for scholars from regions outside of the United States, Canada, and Western Europe (described in the report as “geographically diverse” regions), a task complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and civil unrest in several task force members’ countries of residence. This report outlines several suggestions, specifically around building partnerships with geographically diverse open science organizations; increasing SIPS presence at other, more local events; diversifying remote events; considering geographically diverse annual conference locations; improving membership and financial resources; and surveying open science practitioners from geographically diverse regions.
