Published: September 2021

Introduction:
Along with massive developments in various aspects of life, mental health is one of the issues that must be discussed to encourage optimal development of an individual. To achieve these goals, we need an instrument that can measure and determine the mental health needs of humans precisely.

Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted using a cross-sectional method with a quantitative research design. Participants in this study were adolescent students from Indonesia and Malaysia. The American Mental Health Screening Tool adapted to Indonesian and Malaysian conditions is used as an instrument to measure mental health. There were 359 people from Indonesia and 171 people from Malaysia participating in this study. This type of parameter needs to be identified by the category coefficient of the RASCH scoring function model for polycotomic responses.

Results and Discussion:
The results showed that the American Screening Tools Mental Health instrument had a unidimensionality value below 15%, which means that the variables on the instrument were able to describe mental health. A total of 4 items were invalid so only 59 items could be used to measure mental health. Cronbach alpha value, which is 0.71 indicates that the instrument has good reliability. The average ability of participants from Indonesia and Malaysia was in the moderate category, but 39 participants from Malaysia and 18 participants from Indonesia gave answers that did not match their ability

Conclusion:
The screening tool instrument is able to describe the variables about mental health. These instruments tend to only describe the mental health of participants who fall into the medium and high categories.

Published: September 2021

Background
eHealth and social media could be of particular benefit to adults with hearing impairment, but it is unknown whether their use of smart devices, apps, and social media is similar to that of the general population.

Objective
Our aim is to study whether adults with normal hearing and those with impaired hearing differ in their weekly use of smart devices, apps, and social media; reasons for using social media; and benefits from using social media.

Methods
We used data from a Dutch cohort, the National Longitudinal Study on Hearing. Data were collected from September 2016 to April 2020 using a web-based questionnaire and speech-in-noise test. The results from this test were used to categorize normal hearing and hearing impairment. Outcomes were compared using (multiple) logistic regression models.

Results
Adults with impaired hearing (n=384) did not differ from normal hearing adults (n=341) in their use of a smartphone or tablet. They were less likely to make use of social media apps on a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch (age-adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.67, 95% CI 0.48-0.92; P=.02). Use of social media on all devices and use of other apps did not differ. Adults with hearing impairment were more likely to agree with using social media to stay in touch with family members (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.16-2.07; P=.003) and friends (age-adjusted OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.01-1.81; P=.046). Furthermore, they were more likely to agree with using social media to perform their work (age-adjusted OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.04-2.18; P=.03). There were no differences in the experienced benefits from social media.

Conclusions
The potential for eHealth is confirmed because adults with hearing impairment are not less likely to use smart devices than their normal hearing peers. Adults with hearing impairment are less likely to use social media apps on a smart device but not less likely to use social media on all types of internet-connected devices. This warrants further research on the types of social media platforms that adults with hearing impairment use and on the type of device on which they prefer to use social media. Given that participants with hearing impairment are more likely than their normal hearing peers to use social media to perform their work, use of social media may be seen as an opportunity to enhance vocational rehabilitation services for persons with hearing impairment.

Published: September 2021

BackgroundMasked face is a characteristic clinical manifestation of Parkinson disease (PD), but subjective evaluations from different clinicians often show low consistency owing to a lack of accurate detection technology. Hence, it is of great significance to develop methods to make monitoring easier and more accessible.ObjectiveThe study aimed to develop a markerless 2D video, facial feature recognition–based, artificial intelligence (AI) model to assess facial features of PD patients and investigate how AI could help neurologists improve the performance of early PD diagnosis.MethodsWe collected 140 videos of facial expressions from 70 PD patients and 70 matched controls from 3 hospitals using a single 2D video camera. We developed and tested an AI model that performs masked face recognition of PD patients based on the acquisition and evaluation of facial features including geometric and texture features. Random forest, support vector machines, and k-nearest neighbor were used to train the model. The diagnostic performance of the AI model was compared with that of 5 neurologists.ResultsThe experimental results showed that our AI models can achieve feasible and effective facial feature recognition ability to assist with PD diagnosis. The accuracy of PD diagnosis can reach 83% using geometric features. And with the model trained by random forest, the accuracy of texture features is up to 86%. When these 2 features are combined, an F1 value of 88% can be reached, where the random forest algorithm is used. Further, the facial features of patients with PD were not associated with the motor and nonmotor symptoms of PD.ConclusionsPD patients commonly exhibit masked facial features. Videos of a facial feature recognition–based AI model can provide a valuable tool to assist with PD diagnosis and the potential of realizing remote monitoring of the patient’s condition, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Novel Risk and Crisis Communication Platform to Bridge the Gap Between Policy Makers and the Public in the Context of the COVID-19 Crisis (PubliCo): Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Spitale Giovanni , Merten Sonja , Jafflin Kristen , Schwind Bettina , Kaiser-Grolimund Andrea , Biller-Andorno Nikola 
Published: September 2021

Background
Since the end of 2019, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on people around the globe. As governments institute more restrictive measures, public adherence could decrease and discontent may grow. Providing high-quality information and countering fake news are important. However, we also need feedback loops so that government officials can refine preventive measures and communication strategies. Policy makers need information—preferably based on real-time data—on people’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions to public health messages and restrictive measures. PubliCo aims to foster effective and tailored risk and crisis communication as well as provide an assessment of the risks and benefits of prevention and control measures, since their effectiveness depends on public trust and cooperation.

Objective
Our project aims to develop a tool that helps tackle the COVID-19 infodemic, with a focus on enabling a nuanced and in-depth understanding of public perception. The project adopts a transdisciplinary multistakeholder approach, including participatory citizen science.

Methods
We aim to combine a literature and media review and analysis as well as empirical research using mixed methods, including an online survey and diary-based research, both of which are ongoing and continuously updated. Building on real-time data and continuous data collection, our research results will be highly adaptable to the evolving situation.

Results
As of September 2021, two-thirds of the proposed tool is operational. The current development cycles are focusing on analytics, user experience, and interface refinement. We have collected a total of 473 responses through PubliCo Survey and 22 diaries through PubliCo Diaries.

Conclusions
Pilot data show that PubliCo is a promising and efficient concept for bidirectional risk and crisis communication in the context of public health crises. Further data are needed to assess its function at a larger scale or in the context of an issue other than COVID-19.

A Web-Based Integrated Management Program for Improving Medication Adherence and Quality of Life, and Reducing Readmission in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Hsieh Hui-Ling , Kao Chi-Wen , Cheng Shu-Meng , Chang Yue-Cune 
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is related to a variety of chronic diseases and life-threatening complications. It is estimated that by 2050, there will be 72 million patients with AF in Asia, of which 2.9 million will have AF-associated stroke. AF has become a major issue for health care systems.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to evaluate the effects of a web-based integrated management program on improving coping strategies, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with AF, and to detect the effect on decreasing readmission events.

METHODS

The parallel-group, single-blind, prospective randomized controlled trial recruited patients with AF from a medical center in northern Taiwan and divided them randomly into intervention and control groups. Patients in the intervention group received the web-based integrated management program, whereas those in the control group received usual care. The measurement tools included the Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) scale, Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS), the three-level version of the EuroQoL five-dimension self-report questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L), and readmission events 2 years after initiating the intervention. Data were collected at 4 instances (baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after initiating the intervention), and analyzed with generalized estimating equations (GEEs).

RESULTS

A total of 231 patients were recruited and allocated into an intervention (n=115) or control (n=116) group. The mean age of participants was 73.08 (SD 11.71) years. Most participants were diagnosed with paroxysmal AF (171/231, 74%), and the most frequent comorbidity was hypertension (162/231, 70.1%). Compared with the control group, the intervention group showed significantly greater improvement in approach coping strategies, medication adherence, and HRQoL at 1, 3, and 6 months (all <i>P</i>&lt;.05). In addition, the intervention group showed significantly fewer readmission events within 2 years (OR 0.406, <i>P</i>=.03), compared with the control group.

CONCLUSIONS

The web-based integrated management program can significantly improve patients' coping strategy and medication adherence. Therefore, it can empower patients to maintain disease stability, which is a major factor in improving their HRQoL and reducing readmission events within 2 years.

Надежность оценочной системы как условие качественного управления обучением
Authors: Ефремова Надежда Ф. 
Published: September 2021

Во Введении раскрываются причины необходимости нового взгляда на оценку образовательных достижений обучающихся. В первую очередь это связано с процессами международной интеграции в сфере образования, компетентностным подходом к процессу и результатам обучения, расширением техник и технологий обучения. Поэтому задача повышения объективности оценки рассматривается как педагогический аспект, требующий исследований по совершенствованию оценочных процедур и инструментария. Однако в педагогической практике ключевым ценностям надежного оценивания пока уделяется недостаточно внимания и, особенно, при оценивании компетенций как результатов освоения образовательных программ. В своем большинстве преподаватели используют традиционные средства оценки, не позволяющие выявить и оценить глубоко латентные характеристики в форме компетенций, которые, по сути, и обеспечивают успешность личности в профессиональной деятельности. Вместе с тем основные принципы построения качественной оценки требуют все большего внимания в связи с цифровой трансформацией системы образования, расширением различных форм дистанционного обучения, большей самостоятельностью обучающихся при выборе образовательной траектории. В Теоретическом обосновании показаны основные направления научно обоснованного подхода к аргументированной доказательности оценки. Логика современного оценивания требует организации деятельности обучающихся при выполнении комплексных заданий. Проектирование такого оценочного инструментария требует соблюдения ряда правил, которые обеспечивают надежность результатов, а соответственно, помогают обоснованно управлять процессом обучения, оказывая помощь обучающимся на каждом значимом этапе освоения образовательной программы. В Обсуждении результатов показаны принципы создания инновационного инструментария для комплексного оценивания образовательных достижений в условиях организации планируемой деятельности обучающихся в ситуации оценки. В Заключении автором сделан акцент на трудностях создания комплексных оценочных средств и возможностях решения этой проблемы в системе вуза.

As romarias de Juazeiro
Authors: Azzi Riolando 
Published: September 2021

As romarias de Juazeiro representam, sob o ponto, de vista histórico, a resistência e a reação das camadas populares na defesa do seu tradicional catolicismo luso-brasileiro, diante do avanço do catolicismo romanizado na área rural.
Essa reação assume características muito típicas, pois consiste essencialmente na aceitação exterior das novas formas religiosas do catolicismo romanizado, e, simultaneamente, na sua apropriação e reinterpretação, a partir de uma cosmovisão popular.
Antes de analisar o caso específico de Juazeiro, é importante ter presentes alguns elementos do processo de romanização do catolicismo a partir de meados do século passado...
Risky sexual behavior and the HIV gender gap for younger adults in sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Daniels Elad , Gaumer Gary , Newaz Fairooz , Nandakumar Allyala K 
Published: September 2021

Background HIV/AIDS continues to persist as a major global public health issue in Africa. Within the younger adult population, adolescent girls and younger women aged 15 to 29 years have been identified as having a heightened risk of contracting HIV. Risky sexual behaviors are important drivers behind the HIV prevalence gender gap among younger adults in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods We used nationally representative survey data from three sub-Saharan African countries, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia, to explain the relationship between HIV prevalence and having an older partner and/or having multiple partners using a logit model. We then proceeded to conduct a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis to better understand the gap drivers. Results We found that while the gender gap is driven largely by women having higher levels of risk for sexual behaviors and other risk factors in two of the study countries, this was not found in the third. We also found that different sexual behaviors vary in their riskiness across countries. Having multiple partners and having an older partner carried a similar risk with regard to younger adults contracting HIV in Malawi; in Tanzania and Zambia the risk associated with having multiple partners was greater than the risk associated with having an older partner. In all three countries the risk of being a younger adult female was higher than men, other risk factors the same. Conclusions Risky sexual behavior contributed to increased prevalence of HIV in the study countries. Policies aiming to encourage younger women to form relationships with men among their cohort would be most impactful in Malawi, where currently many younger women have partners who are more than five years their senior compared to younger men. Other policies can attempt to reduce non-monogamous relationships among younger adults, wherein multiple partners are a key driver of the HIV gender gap.
Effect of the Spray Parameters on the Particle Behavior and the Coating Properties During ID Warm Spraying of Fine WC-12Co Powders (-10 + 2 μm)

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Internal diameter (ID) coating by means of thermal spraying for the wear and corrosion protection of components is currently experiencing growing interest in science and industry. While high-kinetic spray processes (such as HVOF, HVAF or warm spraying) in combination with cermet materials (e.g. WC-Co or Cr3C2-NiCr) are well established for this purpose in traditional coating of external OD (outer diameter) surfaces, they have hardly been used in the ID (internal diameter) area so far. Even though a few special ID spray guns with compact design and low combustion energy are by now available on the market, only little is known about the effects and interactions of the spray parameters on the particle behavior and the coating properties. Due to the mentioned gun specifications and the usually required short spray distances for ID coating, fine spray powders &lt; 15 μm must be used to ensure sufficient melting and acceleration of the particles. In this study warm spraying of fine WC-12Co powders (-10 + 2 μm) using a novel spray gun “ID RED” (Thermico, Germany) was investigated. Statistical design of experiments (DoE) was employed to analyze and to model the influence of varying spray parameter settings on the in-flight particle behavior and the corresponding coating properties.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Pulsed plasma transferred arc surfacing is presently used in many industrial applications to make protective layers against corrosion, temperature exposition, and excessive wear. Increasing wear resistance is especially important in areas of industry where titanium alloys are used, such as aviation and cosmonautics, because the wear resistance of titanium alloys is often weak. One way to increase the wear resistance is to deposit or form a cermet with a titanium matrix (TMC) on the surface of the part. The present study deals with the fabrication and characterization of TMC based on B4C. TMC with B4C was formed by cofeeding Ti6Al4V and B4C powder into a melting pool. It has been found that the deposited, relatively thick layers have homogeneously dispersed B4C grains in the matrix. The deposits are metallurgically connected to the substrate - Ti6Al4V. The TMCs were investigated in terms of microstructure and chemical composition. Wear resistance was determined using the linear pin test.
Aerosol Deposition of Ti3SiC2-MAX-Phase Coatings

Published: September 2021

Abstract
In general, similar MAX-Phase coatings are considered as oxidation protection layer for preventing disastrous reactions of the Zircaloy fuel rods during a cooling water failure in a nuclear power plant. For the present study on Aerosol Deposition, Ti3SiC2 was selected as MAX-phase model system due to the availability of property data and commercial powder. The as-received powder was milled to different nominal sizes. For revealing details on coating formation and possible bonding mechanisms, Aerosol Deposition experiments were performed for different particle size batches and process gas pressures. Microstructural analyses reveal that coating formation preferably occurs for particle sizes smaller than two microns. Using such small particle sizes, crack-free, dense layers can be obtained. The individual deposition efficiencies for the different particle sizes, particularly the critical size below which deposition gets prominent, vary with process gas flows and associated pressures. Detailed microstructural analyses of coatings by high resolution scanning electron microscopy reveal plastic deformation and fracture, both attributing to shape adaption to previous spray layers and probably bonding. In correlation to coating thickness or deposition efficiencies, respective results give indications for possible bonding mechanisms and a tentative window of Aerosol Deposition for Ti3SiC2 MAX-phases as spray material.
UV-Dual Curing Sealers for Short Cycling Times of Thermally Sprayed Parts
Authors: Elsner A.-L. , Kunde C. , Togrund W. , Bobzin K. , Wietheger W. , Burbaum E. 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The advantages of UV-curing polymers are well known and used in various coating and adhesive applications. Curing times of a few seconds and long application windows allowing an increased throughput in series production. The use of UV-curing polymers in sealers is beneficial, but so far insufficient due to only surface curing. With a newly developed dual-cure mechanism in sealers, it is now possible to combine deep penetration curing and surface curing. The hybrid sealers combine radical polymerization with subsequent polyaddition or polycondensation. The development of sealers for thermal sprayed (TS) coatings involves an extensive requirement profile. This includes properties such as corrosion protection, penetration depth and processing times. High penetration depths of the sealant into the coating system are important to ensure a protection over the full lifetime of the TS coatings. The depth of penetration of the developed sealers into various TS coatings was determined by measuring the gas permeability in a specially developed test procedure. The corrosion protection effect in combination with TS coatings was determined by measuring the cell voltage. In summary, two UV dual-cure sealers have been developed to seal TS coatings with deep penetration and corrosion protection.
