Introduction
The ActiGraph (AG) accelerometer is widely used to assess physical activity (PA) in heart failure (HF) patients. However, the validity of the AG in this population remains unexplored.

Objective
Therefore, this study examined the criterion validity of the AG-GT9X for measuring step counts (SC) and energy expenditure (EE) among HF patients.

Methods
16 patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (mean age = 60.3±12.1yrs) completed a total of 41 symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise tests on a treadmill across multiple time points (median (IQR) = 2.5 (1.5–3.5)). All participants wore the AG (model: GT9X) on both the right ankle and waist locations during the test. Manually counted steps and indirect calorimetry-derived EE served as criterion measures. AG-derived EE was estimated using six different prediction equations previously developed for waist-worn AG. AG-derived measurements were compared with criterion measurements by calculating correlation coefficients, equivalence tests with two one-sided tests, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), percentage bias, and Bland-Altman plots using mixed models to account for the nested nature of repeated measures within subjects.

Results
Ankle-worn AG-SC was significantly equivalent to the criterion (p < .05) and had lower MAPE (<10%) compared to the waist location, regardless of PA intensity level. Sasaki-EE was significantly equivalent to the criterion (p < .05), with the lowest percentage bias overall (0.7%).

Conclusions
The ankle-worn AG-SC and Sasaki-EE showed better accuracy among HF patients in laboratory settings. Further research is warranted to cross-validate the results in different settings.

Purpose
To reveal problems of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosing gastric-type mucin-positive (GMPLs) and gastric-type mucin-negative (GMNLs) cervical lesions.

Methods
We selected 172 patients suspected to have lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia; their pelvic MR images were categorised into the training (n = 132) and validation (n = 40) groups. The images of the validation group were read twice by three pairs of six readers to reveal the accuracy, area under the curve (AUC), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The readers evaluated three images (sagittal T2-weighted image [T2WI], axial T2WI, and axial T1-weighted image [T1WI]) in every patient. The pre-trained convolutional neural network (pCNN) was used to differentiate between GMPLs and GMNLs and perform four-fold cross-validation using cases in the training group. The accuracy and AUC were obtained using the MR images in the validation group. For each case, three images (sagittal T2WI and axial T2WI/T1WI) were entered into the CNN. Calculations were performed twice independently. ICC (2,1) between first- and second-time CNN was evaluated, and these results were compared with those of readers.

Results
The highest accuracy of readers was 77.50%. The highest ICC (1,1) between a pair of readers was 0.750. All ICC (2,1) values were <0.7, indicating poor agreement; the highest accuracy of CNN was 82.50%. The AUC did not differ significantly between the CNN and readers. The ICC (2,1) of CNN was 0.965.

Conclusions
Variation in the inter-reader or intra-reader accuracy in MRI diagnosis limits differentiation between GMPL and GMNL. CNN is nearly as accurate as readers but improves the reproducibility of diagnosis.

Published: December 2024

O artigo traz uma reflexão sobre a participação das mulheres na cobertura jornalística da Copas do Mundo Feminina no programa Esporte Espetacular (EE), nos anos de 2019 e 2023. A pesquisa leva em consideração o espaço ocupado pelas mulheres ao longo da história na editoria de Jornalismo Esportivo, tomando como base áreas como narração, comentários e análises técnicas, espaços que são considerados masculinos dentro das dinâmicas da cobertura esportiva, sobretudo de futebol. O artigo foi ancorado pela metodologia de Análise de Conteúdo (AC), utilizando também o método comparativo para verificar as diferenças entre os dois períodos. A análise evidenciou mudanças na quantidade de mulheres envolvidas na cobertura e indicou que as jornalistas tiveram mais tempo para discutir suas representações dentro e fora dos campos, no entanto, a visão masculina ainda pauta a atuação das mulheres nesse espaço.

Published: December 2024

A evolução tecnológica mundial, apesar de ser essencial que os pesquisadores e, mais especificamente os profissionais estejam na vanguarda das discussões, a chegada da Inteligência Artificial (IA) tem acarretado grande desafio social. Nas questões relacionadas a saúde, a IA parece ter potencial de revolucionar a maneira como entendemos e abordamos uma série de questões psicológicas e de saúde, desde a assistência à saúde mental até a compreensão das complexidades da cognição e outros assuntos correlatos. Algoritmos de aprendizado de máquina, podem analisar grandes conjuntos de informações, de forma a tornar possível identificar padrões e prever tendências, em uma ampla gama de condições psicológicas e de saúde. Essa capacidade de análise automatizada, não apenas agiliza o processo diagnóstico, mas também pode fornecer insights valiosíssimos sobre os mecanismos subjacentes aos mais diferentes transtornos e diagnósticos de saúde. É fundamental uma maior discussão sobre a implementação da IA em relação aos fatores éticos envolvidos, já que os seus altos custos poderão impactar a saúde dos usuários, o que tende a aumentar a desigualdade no acesso aos serviços de saúde de qualidade, a parcela mais pobre da população.
Rome IV Functional Defecation Disorder: Time for a Change in Symptom Criteria for Improved Clinical Relevance?
Authors: Park Calvin Joomann , Jones Michael P. , Prott Gillian , Sequeira Carol , Malcolm Allison 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION:
Defecatory disorders are common affecting up to 8% of the population. Rome IV diagnostic criteria are used to define this condition and, therefore, select patients for the gold standard therapy, anorectal biofeedback. The aim of this study was to test the current Rome IV Functional Defecation Disorder (FDD) criteria in a real-world population by using the response to biofeedback as a validation tool.

METHODS:
A total of 485 patients (female 437, mean age 50 ± 17.6 years) with defecatory symptoms presenting to a neurogastroenterology clinic underwent anorectal biofeedback therapy regardless of whether they met formal Rome IV FDD criteria or not. Patients were assessed extensively with the Rome questionnaire, constipation questionnaire, and visual analog scales for satisfaction, control, quality of life, and anorectal manometry.

RESULTS:
Rome IV FDD was no better at predicting response to biofeedback compared with non-Rome IV FDD (P = NS). Digitation (P = 0.043) and increasing cumulative number of defecatory symptoms (P = 0.038) were correlated with improvement in biofeedback (≥2-point increase in bowel satisfaction). Those with abnormal physiology only responded well to biofeedback (83% response rate), but this was not statistically different from no Rome IV physiology patients (73%). There was a trend for increasing cumulative number of abnormal physiology factors to correlate with biofeedback (P = 0.086).

DISCUSSION:
Rome IV symptom criteria need revision to include more defecatory symptoms, include all subtypes of irritable bowel syndrome, and be inclusive of those with either loose stools or more frequent stools such as those previously labeled with “pseudodiarrhea” or “hyperdefecation.” Continuing to include physiology criteria in the Rome diagnosis of FDD seems valid.

Background: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a collection of symptoms that are usually experienced by female adolescent before the start of each menstrual cycle which can impact their social activities and concentration on studies. There are several factors that can influence the occurrence of PMS, such as nutritional status, body composition, and physical level. Objectives: To explore the incidence of PMS among female adolescents and its correlation with anthropometric indices and physical activity in Malang City, IndonesiaMaterials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in August to November 2023. A total of 143 female second year students from three public high schools in Malang City was participated in this study. Weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, and body fat percentage (BF%) were measured. Anthropometric indices including body mass index-for-age (BMI-for-age), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. PMS was measured using 10-item shortened Premenstrual Assessment Form(sPAF) and physical activity using Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescent (PAQ-A). Spearman test was used to evaluate the correlation between variables.Results: There were significant positive correlations among anthropometric indices. There was a positive correlation between PMS with BF%, WHR, and WHtR, however no correlation was found with BMI-for-age. PMS was inversely correlated with physical activity level.Conclusion: Anthropometric indices as predictor of obesity such as BF%, WHR, and WHtR was positively correlated with PMS while physical activity was negatively correlated with PMS. These findings suggest that changes toward healthy lifestyle, such as having regular physical activity and maintain a normal range of body composition and nutritional status are important to alleviate PMS symptoms in female adolescents.Keywords: Adolescent; anthropometric indices; body fat; physical activity; premenstrual syndrome

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objectives
The actions and decisions of pilots are directly related to aviation safety. Therefore, understanding the neurological and cognitive processes of pilots during flight is essential. This study aims to investigate the EEG signals of pilots to understand the characteristic changes during the climb and descent stages of flight.

Methods
By performing wavelet packet decomposition on the EEG signals, we examined EEG maps during these critical phases and analyzed changes in signal intensity. To delve deeper, we calculated the log-transformed power of electroencephalograms to investigate the EEG responses under different flight conditions. Additionally, we conducted EEG spectral coherence analysis to evaluate the degree of synchronization between different electrodes during climb and descent.

Results
This analysis helps us understand the functional connectivity changes in various brain regions during these phases. Understanding these complex interactions is crucial, as it provides insights into the cognitive processes of pilots during the critical climb and descent stages of flight, contributing to enhanced aviation safety.

Conclusions
By identifying how brain activity fluctuates during these phases, we can better comprehend pilots’ decision-making processes, ultimately leading to the development of more effective training programs and safety protocols. This research underscores the importance of neurological studies in safety.
Applying multiple processes nonequilibrium model to investigate cesium transport in crushed granite

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Understanding the movement of radionuclides (RN) in the subsurface environment is of paramount importance, particularly when it comes to the planning and assessment of facilities devoted to the disposal of radioactive waste. Comprehensive mathematical models serve as indispensable tools in this regard, demanding a profound and thorough understanding of the intricate mechanisms underlying radionuclide transport. The effective application of these models is contingent upon accurately determining the required input parameters. This is a critical aspect to consider given the inherent physical and chemical variations exhibited by the subsurface environment. These variations can induce significant effects on the movement of RNs below ground, potentially altering the predicted outcomes of radionuclide transport. This paper presents the findings of a comprehensive investigation that was conducted utilizing both advective-dispersive experiments (ADE) and multiple processes nonequilibrium (MPNE) inversion. These methodologies were employed using the advanced HYDRUS code, which is highly regarded in the field. The research specifically focuses on the transportation mechanisms of Cesium (Cs), a common radionuclide, in a medium of crushed granite. The study considers varying conditions, including different flow rates and column lengths, to provide a broad understanding of the behavior of Cs. The findings reveal that the transport behavior of Cs is not only influenced by the different flow rates and column lengths but is also significantly affected by the diffusive mass transfer and nonequilibrium sorption. These factors collectively contribute to our understanding of the complex processes involved in radionuclide transport.
The resource-making state: liquefied natural gas production networks and state strategies for domestic market development in Indonesia
Authors: Dodge Alexander Steven , Rye Ståle A. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we suggest that Global Production Network (GPN) scholars have yet to deal more substantively with how nation-states, often in alliance with firm actors, actively work to create markets for resources in global production networks. We argue in this paper that GPN scholars should be better attuned to both resource-making interventions and the governance of market development. Resource-making highlights the heterogeneity of the biophysical characteristics of physical entities which entails that certain natures are not readily made available as commodities in markets, but require specific infrastructures, technology, and organizational structures for commercialization. When private capital fails to create markets for resources on its own initiative, states may intervene by facilitating resource-making and governing market development through configurations of ownership, commodification, and risk allocation. In this paper, we explore how the relationship between resource-making and market governance shapes the possibilities and limitations for state strategies in global production networks. Our discussion in the paper is informed by an empirical case study of failed plans by the Indonesian government from 2016 to 2019 to draw upon public-private partnerships to create markets for LNG in the peripheral regions of the country. Despite Indonesia’s status as a globally significant LNG exporter, we find that the interorganizational structures and infrastructure needed to deliver natural gas to markets in peripheral regions contradict with the configurations of ownership, commodification, and risk allocation through which the Indonesian government has sought to realize state strategies, thus resulting in the underdevelopment of liquefied natural gas markets in Indonesia.

Published: December 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia with continuum of disease progression of increasing severity from subjective cognitive decline (SCD) to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and lastly to AD. The transition from MCI to AD has been linked to brain hypersynchronization, but the underlying mechanisms leading to this are unknown. Here, we hypothesized that excessive excitation in AD disease progression would shift brain dynamics toward supercriticality across an extended regime of critical-like dynamics. In this framework, healthy brain activity during aging preserves operation at near the critical phase transition at balanced excitation–inhibition (E/I). To test this hypothesis, we used source-reconstructed resting-state MEG data from a cross-sectional cohort (
N
= 343) of individuals with SCD, MCI, and healthy controls (HC) as well as from a longitudinal cohort (
N
= 45) of MCI patients. We then assessed brain criticality by quantifying long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) and functional EI (fE/I) of neuronal oscillations. LRTCs were attenuated in SCD in spectrally and anatomically constrained regions while this breakdown was progressively more widespread in MC. In parallel, fE/I was increased in the MCI but not in the SC cohort. Both observations also predicted the disease progression in the longitudinal cohort. Finally, using machine learning trained on functional (LRTCs, fE/I) and structural (MTL volumes) features, we show that LRTCs and f/EI are the most informative features for accurate classification of individuals with SCD while structural changes accurate classify the individuals with MCI. These findings establish that a shift toward supercritical brain dynamics reflects early AD disease progression.

Authors: Pranaitytė Irma 
Published: December 2024

The paper explores the attitudes towards volunteering and the change of attitudes towards volunteering in a Post-Soviet country after the collapse of the Soviet regime. The aim of the paper is to reveal what are the factors which keep individuals away from joining voluntary organizations, how the attitude towards volunteering has been changing over 30 years and what motivates individuals to get involved in voluntary organizations. A qualitative research method has been chosen – 60 interviews with individuals who have been born in 1945–1965 and have been living under the Soviet regime. The results reveal the change of attitudes towards volunteering in five periods and how the understanding about volunteering has been changing. Voluntary organizations can use the results of the research for the attraction of potential volunteers to volunteering.
