Published: August 2021

Aim: Promoting walking activity is an effective way to improve the health of older adults. Walking frequency is a critical component of walking behavior and an essential determinant of daily walking levels. To decipher the association between the built environment and walking frequency among older adults, this study's aims are as follows: (1) to empirically test whether non-linear relationships between the two exist, and (2) to identify the thresholds of the built environment characteristics that promote walking.Methods: The walking frequency of old adults was derived from the Zhongshan Household Travel Survey (ZHTS) in 2012. The sample size of old adults aged 60 or over was 4784 from 274 urban and rural neighborhoods. A semi-parametric generalized additive model (GAMM) is used to analyze the non-linear or non-monotonic relationships between the built environment and the walking frequency among older adults.Results: We found that non-linear relationships exist among five out of the six built environment characteristics. Within certain thresholds, the population density, sidewalk density, bus stop density, land use mixture, and the percentage of green space are positively related to older adults' walking trips. Furthermore, the land use mixture and the percentage of green space show an inverse “V”-shaped relationship.Conclusions: Built environment features can either support or hinder the walking frequency among older adults. The findings in the current study contribute to effective land use and transport policies for promoting active travel among older adults.

Published: August 2021

Well-curated datasets are essential to evidence based decision making and to the integration of artificial intelligence with human reasoning across disciplines. However, many sources of data remain siloed, unstructured, and/or unavailable for complementary and secondary research. Sysrev was developed to address these issues. First, Sysrev was built to aid in systematic evidence reviews (SER), where digital documents are evaluated according to a well defined process, and where Sysrev provides an easy to access, publicly available and free platform for collaborating in SER projects. Secondly, Sysrev addresses the issue of unstructured, siloed, and inaccessible data in the context of generalized data extraction, where human and machine learning algorithms are combined to extract insights and evidence for better decision making across disciplines. Sysrev uses FAIR - Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets - as primary principles in design. Sysrev was developed primarily because of an observed need to reduce redundancy, reduce inefficient use of human time and increase the impact of evidence based decision making. This publication is an introduction to Sysrev as a novel technology, with an overview of the features, motivations and use cases of the tool.Methods: Sysrev. com is a FAIR motivated web platform for data curation and SER. Sysrev allows users to create data curation projects called “sysrevs” wherein users upload documents, define review tasks, recruit reviewers, perform review tasks, and automate review tasks.Conclusion: Sysrev is a web application designed to facilitate data curation and SERs. Thousands of publicly accessible Sysrev projects have been created, accommodating research in a wide variety of disciplines. Described use cases include data curation, managed reviews, and SERs.

Published: August 2021

The aim of the present study was to assess the transcriptomic response of L. monocytogenes during co-culture with three S. cerevisiae strains. For this purpose, BHI broth was inoculated with 7 log CFU·mL−1 L. monocytogenes serotype 4b strain LQC 15257, isolated from a strawberry sample and 4 log CFU·mL−1 S. cerevisiae strains Y32, Y34 and Y37, isolated from spontaneous olive fermentation. Sampling took place after 24 and 48 h incubation at 5 and 20 °C. RNA was extracted, stabilized and the transcription of virulence associated genes prfA, sigB, hly, plcA, plcB, inlA, inlB, inlC and inlJ, was assessed by RT-qPCR. Co-culture with the yeast strains mostly affected the transcription of sigB and inlJ, the upregulation of which during growth at 5 °C for 24 h, reached 10.13 and 9.76 log2(fold change), respectively. Similarly, the effect that incubation time had on the relative transcription of the genes under study was dependent on the co-cultivating yeast strain. On the other hand, the effect of the yeast strain was less pronounced when the relative transcription of the genes under study was assessed between 20 °C and 5 °C. In that case, incubation temperature seemed to have an important effect since, in the 79.2% of the samples analyzed, upregulation was evident, irrespective of yeast strain presence. These results highlight the complex trophic relationships that take place during co-existence between L. monocytogenes and S. cerevisiae.
The Determinants of Telehealth Provision: Empirical Evidence from OECD Countries
Authors: Wang Fuhmei , Wang Jung-Der 
Published: August 2021

Health services provided through the telecommunications system aim to improve the population’s health and well-being. This research aims to explore what digital, economic, and health factors are associated with the provision of telehealth services, especially in ageing communities. Applying Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries’ experiences, this research tries to construct a logistic regression model between adopting a telehealth system or not, a binary outcome variable, and a group of potentially explanatory variables. Estimation results showed that there were thresholds for telehealth provision: The demand for telehealth service usually began when the provision of telecommunication accessibility reached 50%, the proportion of elders exceeded 10%, or the proportion of health spending occupied more than 3–5% of the gross domestic product (GDP); the slope of each variable seemed to correspond with an increase in demand for such a provision. A growing number of individuals in OECD countries are now readily served by telehealth systems under the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings could be regarded as a model for other countries for implementing the necessary infrastructure early on when any of these parameters reaches its threshold. Moreover, telehealth applied in developing countries could be elevated for wider populations to access basic health services and for the remote delivery of health care. A rational decision could be made to appropriately use additional resources in telehealth provision. With accessible e-health services, the population’s health could be improved, which in turn would possibly increase productivity and social welfare.

Authors: Kumar Anil , Taggarsi Meghana , Subhash R C 
Published: August 2021

Background
Ventral hernia repair is one of the common general surgical procedures. A novel eTEP technique has been developed where in a mesh is placed in retro muscular plane through minimally invasive approach. There is scarcity of data on its effectiveness as compared to conventional Laparoscopic IPOM hernioplasty.
Aims and Objectives
We aim to introduce our innovative Kumar-Subhash’s modified 3 port eTEP technique for ventral hernia repair and compare its clinical effectiveness with conventional IPOM repair.
Methods
A prospective comparative study was undertaken at Devagiri Hospital, Bangalore, India from January 2017 to December 2019. 30 patients were included in the study (12 in eTEP group and 18 in IPOM group) based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were followed up to 30 days post-operatively. The outcomes were compared with respect to postoperative pain, length of hospital stay and early postoperative complications.
Results
Baseline characteristics and presenting complaints were comparable for both the groups. The mean pain score on POD 1 in eTEP group was 3, and 1 on POD 7 as compared to 7 and 3 in IPOM group on POD1 and 7 respectively, which was statistically significant. Patients in eTEP group had a shorter length of hospital stay (LOS). None of the patients had any complications related to the novel technique.
Conclusions
Kumar-Subhash’s modified 3 port eTEP technique is a novel and easy approach for laparoscopic repair of ventral hernia with significantly less post-operative pain and LOS with an additional cosmetic advantage for patients.
The Surface of (16) Psyche from Thermal Emission and Polarization Mapping
Authors: de Kleer Katherine , Cambioni Saverio , Shepard Michael 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest of the M-type asteroids, which have been hypothesized to be the cores of disrupted planetesimals and the parent bodies of the iron meteorites. While recent evidence has collected against a pure metal composition for Psyche, its spectrum and radar properties remain anomalous. We observed (16) Psyche in thermal emission with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at a resolution of 30 km over two-thirds of its rotation. The diurnal temperature variations are at the ∼10 K level over most of the surface and are best fit by a smooth surface with a thermal inertia of 280 ± 100 J m−2 K−1 s−1/2. We measure a millimeter emissivity of 0.61 ± 0.02, which we interpret via a model that treats the surface as a porous mixture of silicates and metals, where the latter may take the form of iron sulfides/oxides or, alternatively, conducting metallic inclusions. The emissivity indicates a metal content of no less than 20% and potentially much higher, but the polarized emission that should be present for a surface with ≥20% metal content is almost completely absent. This requires a highly scattering surface, which may be due to the presence of reflective metallic inclusions. If such is the case, a consequence is that metal-rich asteroids may produce less polarized emission than metal-poor asteroids, exactly the opposite prediction from standard theory, arising from the dominance of scattering over the bulk material properties.
Ergothérapie et enfance sévèrement handicapée, je me souviens…

Published: August 2021

L’ergothérapie peut être le métier passionnant de toute une vie, au-delà même du temps professionnel. L’auteure revient sur sa mobilisation principale auprès d’enfants puis de personnes en situation de handicap et de dépendance sévères, voire extrêmes. Rompant, il y a vingt ans, avec les établissements médico-sociaux pour exercer en cicat (centre d’information et de conseil sur les aides techniques), son objectif est resté le même : la qualité de vie au présent, en répondant en priorité aux besoins fondamentaux de sécurité, de communication, et au développement de toute autonomie possible. Cela suppose une forte motivation à se former, en multipliant les points de vue, et à collaborer à une compétence collective incluant les parents. Dans tout acte de soin ou de thérapie, elle invite à questionner les méthodes, leurs impacts positifs et négatifs, leur sens pour l’enfant, et à refuser l’inacceptable : la douleur, la maltraitance. Notre nature humaine fait de chacun, figure d’autorité ou soumis, un maltraitant en puissance. Elle porte aussi des voies d’évitement, en particulier la réflexion éthique et l’empathie.

Background Indoor air pollution has globally known as the risk factor of acute respiratory infection in young children. The exposure to indoor particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at house or school can be a potential risk to children's health. This study aimed to examine the association between indoor PM2.5 and NO2 with oxidative stress markers in junior high school students. Design and methods This study was conducted using a cross sectional study with 75 students collected randomly from four junior high schools in Jakarta. PM2.5 and NO2 were measured in classrooms and school yards. The schools were categorized based on the exposure level of PM2.5 and NO2 in classrooms. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) were examined from the blood sample. All students were interviewed with questionnaires to determine upper respiratory tract infection, smoking family members, mosquito repellent usage, and dietary supplement consumption. Results Mean concentration of indoor PM2.5 and NO2 were 0.125±0.036 mg m−3 and 36.37±22.33 μg m−3, respectively. The schools which located near to highway showed lower PM2.5 and higher NO2 level indicated the emission of traffic activity. Mean activity of SOD was 96.36±50.94 U mL−1 and mean concentration of GSH was of 0.62±0.09 μg mL−1. Most of the students reported upper respiratory tract infection history, smoking family member, use mosquito repellent at home, and do not consume dietary supplement. Conclusions The level of oxidative stress markers and the exposure categories of classroom PM2.5 and NO2 was not significantly different, however there were significant correlation with cigarette smoke and mosquito repellent at home. Nevertheless, the exposure of indoor PM2.5 and NO2 increased the risk of the exposure to cigarette smoke and mosquito repellent at home. Further study on the air pollution at school and home is needed to affirm association towards student's health and to design strategic control efforts.

Published: August 2021

Purpose: A comprehensive monitoring and evaluation study was conducted on wells, water table and drainage water for water quality index. The study aimed to achieve a sustainable integrated management for water and soil at the study area.
Methodology: Assessment and evaluation of water samples were: Evaluate the physic- chemical properties; Discuss the Hydro chemical coefficient; Assessment of the appropriate use of water quality such as permeability index (PI) and Kelly's indicator (KI); Water quality identification and assessment through calculate of WQI; It was conducted various assessments of the elements within the water, such as the contamination factor (CFi); geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and the potential ecological risk index (RI).
Findings: The results shown that the dominance of Na+ cation and Cl- anions due to the influence of marine sediments on water elements which resulted in increased the mention ions in drainage water> water table> wells. TDS values of wells, water tables and drainage water were no detected, 2374 to 9088 and 3641.6 to 13952mg L-1, respectively and RSC values of water samples were not significant. KI indicated that the well water is safe for drinking and the water table and drainage water are not acceptable for drinking. PI indicated that the suitability of water to be used in agriculture. WQI confirmed that the water is highly appropriated for Olive's tree and Palms cultivation. CFi indicated that the wells gave low to moderate contamination of Mn, Cu and B while, the Fe, Zn and Si concentrations were low. A very high degree of contamination by Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and B were observed in water tables; however Si concentration was low to considerable degree. Generally, drainage water gave a very high degree of contamination with Mn, Cu, and B, whereas the concentration of Fe, Zn and Si were low, moderate and considerable degree. Analytical modeling proved that the Igeo values for Mn, Zn, Cu and Si were assigned to Class 0 for water sources at study area. RI indicated the wells and water table samples (exception of Cu was moderate to high) were slightly risk as well as the RI of drainage water samples was low risk.
Contribution to theory, practice and policy: The results provided the relationships between the water resources assessment and water quality management, and to ensure their environmental reflections such as (contamination factor (CFi); geo-accumulation index (Igeo); the potential ecological risk (RI)), with the safe use of water based on its properties.
