Background
Pain is an underappreciated symptom of atopic dermatitis that can affect the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of patients.

Objective
The aim of this study is to understand the effect of pain on patients with atopic dermatitis and their family members and to recognize how this symptom affects HRQL.

Methods
We conducted focus groups and interviews with patients with atopic dermatitis and their family members. Researchers independently coded the transcripts and reached a consensus on the major themes.

Results
A total of 33 adult participants, consisting of 21 patients with atopic dermatitis (median age 47 years, range 22-77) and 12 family members (median age 50, range 22-72), attended either focus groups (23/33, 70%) or
interviews (10/33, 30%), where we assessed their experiences of pain. Four themes emerged in our study. Itchiness and pain can be intertwined: pain was often caused by or otherwise associated with itchiness and could result from open sores and excoriated skin. Characteristics of pain: pain was most often described as burning. Other descriptors included mild, persistent discomfort; stinging; and stabbing. Effects of pain: pain negatively affected various aspects of daily life, including choice of clothing, sleep, social activities, and relationships. The location of painful areas could also limit physical activity, including sex. Pain management: pain from atopic dermatitis could be managed to varying degrees with different over-the-counter and prescription treatments. Systemic agents that cleared the skin also resolved the pain associated with atopic dermatitis.

Conclusions
Pain can be a significant factor in the HRQL of patients with atopic dermatitis and should be considered by clinicians when caring for patients with atopic dermatitis.

Several studies found that the probiotic bacterias such as Lactobacillus acidophilus La5 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 could prevent glycemia and control the blood lipid profiles. Currently, a probiotic product such as yogurt is not preferable by some consumers since the taste is sour. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop milkshakes supplemented by probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus La5 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 which are expected to be more acceptable and have a beneficial effect with the addition of prebiotics and soluble fiber glucomannan. This study aims to determine the effect of synbiotic shakes on fasting blood glucose levels and lipid profiles in hyperglycemia Wistar rat models. The study design was a pre-posttest controlled group with 48 male Wistar rats divided into 8 groups, namely the healthy control group (I); hyperglycemia control group (II); group III that received metformin; group IV that received synbiotic shake with La5 + FOS; group V that received synbiotic shake La5 + inulin; group VI that received synbiotic shake Bb12 + FOS; group VII that received synbiotic shake Bb12 + inulin; and group VIII that received synbiotic shake La5 + Bb12 + FOS. The dose of the intervention was 3.6 ml/day with an intervention duration of 28 days. The results showed that the differences in blood glucose levels were not significant (p> 0.05) except for groups IV and VI that experienced a significant increase (p <0.05). The differences in lipid profiles showed insignificant changes in LDL levels except in groups IV and V, a significant increase in HDL levels (p <0.05) in group V and VI, and insignificant change in triglycerides except in group VI. It can be concluded that the administration of synbiotic shakes with a variety of prebiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus La5 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 for 4 weeks were able to maintain fasting blood glucose levels and lipid profiles in hyperglycemic rats.
Wavelet-based Characterization of Seismicity and Geomagnetic Disturbances in the South Sandwich Microplate Area
Authors: Larocca Patricia , Arecco M.A. , Mora M. 
Published: October 2021

This paper analyzes geomagnetic disturbances associated with seismic events in the northern transcurrent margin of the South Sandwich microplate and South American plate, with their epicenter at distances within 350 km from King Edward Point geomagnetic observatory on the archipelago of the Georgias del Sur islands.
Geomagnetic field records measured over a one-year period in three observatories of the INTERMAGNET network near the area under study are examined. Anomalous variations in geomagnetic records can be detected within approximately 3 hours before the manifestation of seismic events with a magnitude above 4.4 Mw.
Based on the analysis of the differences in horizontal field components among the observatories and the frequency spectrum of the geomagnetic field observations using the wavelet method, oscillations of several nT can be observed before an event, in addition to magnetic peaks with variable amplitude and duration.
It is worth noting that, during the period of study, no severe ionospheric effects were recorded as this was a phase of low solar activity (solar cycle 24 minimum).
The observation of these potential magnetic precursors suggests that there is a critical preparatory period in a region with geological faults related to the stress generated in the rocks before the built-up energy is released in the hypocenter area, within the lithosphere, which may predict the mechanical motion based on anomalous geomagnetic records.
SFGAN: Unsupervised Generative Adversarial Learning of 3D Scene Flow from the 3D Scene Self
Authors: Wang Guangming , Jiang Chaokang , Shen Zehang , Miao Yanzi , Wang Hesheng 
Published: October 2021

3D scene flow presents the 3D motion of each point in the 3D space,
which forms the fundamental 3D motion perception for autonomous driving
and server robots. Although the RGBD camera or LiDAR capture discrete 3D
points in space, the objects and motions usually are continuous in the
macro world. That is, the objects keep themselves consistent as they
flow from the current frame to the next frame. Based on this insight,
the Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) is utilized to self-learn 3D
scene flow with no need for ground truth. The fake point cloud of the
second frame is synthesized from the predicted scene flow and the point
cloud of the first frame. The adversarial training of the generator and
discriminator is realized through synthesizing indistinguishable fake
point cloud and discriminating the real point cloud and the synthesized
fake point cloud. The experiments on KITTI scene flow dataset show that
our method realizes promising results without ground truth. Just like a
human observing a real-world scene, the proposed approach is capable of
determining the consistency of the scene at different moments in spite
of the exact flow value of each point is unknown in advance.

OBJECTIVEFood insecurity is associated with diabetes. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the largest U.S. government food assistance program. Whether such programs impact diabetes trends is unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between changes in state-level policies affecting SNAP participation and county-level diabetes prevalence.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSWe evaluated the association between change in county-level diabetes prevalence and changes in the U.S. Department of Agriculture SNAP policy index—a measure of adoption of state-level policies associated with increased SNAP participation (higher value indicating adoption of more policies associated with increased SNAP participation; range 1–10)—from 2004 to 2014 using g-computation, a robust causal inference methodology. The study included all U.S. counties with diabetes prevalence data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s U.S. Diabetes Surveillance System.RESULTSThe study included 3,135 of 3,143 U.S. counties. Mean diabetes prevalence increased from 7.3% (SD 1.3) in 2004 to 9.1% (SD 1.8) in 2014. The mean SNAP policy index increased from 6.4 (SD 0.9) to 8.2 (SD 0.6) in 2014. After accounting for changes in demographic-, economic-, and health care-related variables and the baseline SNAP policy index, a 1-point absolute increase in the SNAP policy index between 2004 and 2014 was associated with a 0.050 (95% CI 0.042–0.057) percentage point lower diabetes prevalence per year.CONCLUSIONSState policies aimed at increasing SNAP participation were independently associated with a lower rise in diabetes prevalence between 2004 and 2014.
Secular changes in human reproduction and assisted reproductive technologies
Authors: Saniotis Arthur , Henneberg Maciej 
Published: October 2021

Since the middle to late 20th century the majority of children born in the developing world have been likely to enter into post-reproductive age. Currently, child mortality is at its lowest level in human history. While more children are living to post reproductive age, approximately 15% of couples are experiencing infecundity. This is either a result of one or both members of the couple being infecund, or, despite both being fecund, the interaction between them prevents fertility for some reason. Assisted reproductive technologies have provided many infertile couples an opportunity to have children. Assisted reproductive technologies operate by intervening and manipulating gametic and intrauterine natural selection. This paper discusses the possible influence of assisted reproductive technologies on child development. This paper outlines some of the reported changes in children resulting from assisted reproductive technologies. Although, few people are either aware or care about possible long term consequences of relaxed natural selection contributed by medical intervention (i.e. assisted reproductive technologies) we have little understanding to what extent such medical interference may affect long term fitness in humans.
Knowledge Management in Botswana Sport: Current Status and Future Directions

Published: October 2021

Abstract
In Botswana, sport is positioned as a potential driver of economic and social development. In particular, there are numerous discussions about increasing the socio-economic impact of sport and the need to professionalise Botswana sport. Knowledge Management (KM) can play a critical role in achieving this greater professionalisation and impact. Despite this importance, there have only been a small number of studies on KM in sports, and none of this literature explores the topic in sub-Saharan Africa. Against this background, the goals of our paper are two-fold. Firstly, we wish to map out the current knowledge management landscape in the Botswana sport sector. Secondly, we aim to propose concrete, evidence-based avenues to improve KM within the sector. This paper relies on findings generated through semi-structured qualitative interviews with individuals connected to Botswana sport. To allow for triangulation, these interviews are further supported by other, previous qualitative research as well as relevant academic and policy literature. The Knowledge Management framework from Sunassee and Sewry (2002) is used to analyse and structure the results. Overall, we see that KM in Botswana sport is somewhat present at the individual, organisational level, but numerous obstacles and inefficiencies exist in creating and sharing knowledge at the sectoral level. To support the growth of KM in the sector, numerous concrete recommendations are presented. In particular, we highlight a need to communicate the value of KM better and obtain the necessary buy-in.

OC is a group chat feature that made for users to join and reliable with other users who had same interests with anonymously, and one of which is a fans club category. There’s a phenomenon this day that comes from this fan culture in OC, named “roleplay” (RP). RP is a role game in a social media using other’s people characters (usually using an idol’s character). The players usually adapt their activities and life from real life, but in the RP’s world, their entire activities is the life that humans imagine and create for themselves. This phenomenon will form into a virtual community or a network society in a cyberspace, then with times goes by time this phenomenon will referring to a concept of social simulation and create a formation of a new world. This research uses a qualitative case study method.Perkembangan jaman dari masa kemasa semakin meningkat pesat, seperti pada teknologi komunikasi. Perkembangan teknologi komunikasi ini tentunya beriringan dengan perkembangan kecerdasan manusia yang semakin kreatif dan inovatif memanfaatkan media dan teknologinya. Salah satu bentuk perkembangan media tersebut adalah media sosial, yang kini kita kenal dengan sebutan “new media”. Contohnya adalah sebuah fitur dalam aplikasi chating Line, yaitu Line Open Chat (OC). OC adalah salah satu fitur obrolan grup yang dibuat agar para pengguna dapat bergabung dan berinteraksi dengan pengguna lainnya yang memiliki ketertarikan yang sama secara anonim, salah satunya kategorinya adalah fans clubs. Terdapat sebuah fenomena baru yang datangnya dari budaya penggemar ini dalam OC, yaitu roleplay (RP). RP merupakan sebuah permainan peran di media sosial dengan menggunakan karakter orang lain yang biasanya adalah sosok yang diidolakan. Biasanya dalam RP para pemainnya akan mengadaptasi aktifitas dan kehidupannya dari dunia nyata, hanya saja kehidupan ini adalah kehidupan yang dikehendaki dan dibuat sendiri oleh manusia, khususnya dirinya sendiri sebagai pemainnya. Fenomena ini kemudian akan membentuk sebuah komunitas virtual atau network society dalam cyberspace yang lama kelamaan akan membuat sebuah simulasi sosial yang mengacu pada terbentuknya dunia baru.
