Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a high degree of psychological distress among health care workers (HCWs). There is a need to characterize which HCWs are at an increased risk of developing psychological effects from the pandemic. Given the differences in the response of individuals to stress, an analysis of both the perceived and physiological consequences of stressors can provide a comprehensive evaluation of its impact.

Objective
This study aimed to determine characteristics associated with longitudinal perceived stress in HCWs and to assess whether changes in heart rate variability (HRV), a marker of autonomic nervous system function, are associated with features protective against longitudinal stress.

Methods
HCWs across 7 hospitals in New York City, NY, were prospectively followed in an ongoing observational digital study using the custom Warrior Watch Study app. Participants wore an Apple Watch for the duration of the study to measure HRV throughout the follow-up period. Surveys measuring perceived stress, resilience, emotional support, quality of life, and optimism were collected at baseline and longitudinally.

Results
A total of 361 participants (mean age 36.8, SD 10.1 years; female: n=246, 69.3%) were enrolled. Multivariate analysis found New York City’s COVID-19 case count to be associated with increased longitudinal stress (P=.008). Baseline emotional support, quality of life, and resilience were associated with decreased longitudinal stress (P<.001). A significant reduction in stress during the 4-week period after COVID-19 diagnosis was observed in the highest tertial of emotional support (P=.03) and resilience (P=.006). Participants in the highest tertial of baseline emotional support and resilience had a significantly different circadian pattern of longitudinally collected HRV compared to subjects in the low or medium tertial.

Conclusions
High resilience, emotional support, and quality of life place HCWs at reduced risk of longitudinal perceived stress and have a distinct physiological stress profile. Our findings support the use of these characteristics to identify HCWs at risk of the psychological and physiological stress effects of the pandemic.

EXPONENT -LAC IN GERMANIC ONOMASTICON

Анализ дитематических древнегерманских антропонимов позволяет считать элемент -lac регулярным компонентом ономасиологического процесса. Мы предполагаем, что в образовании германских мужских имен собственных с подобным экспонентом в качестве словообразовательных элементов принимали участие нарицательные слова, являющиеся рефлексами индоевропейского корня *loca- ‘люди, мир, человек' и, как следствие, когнатами рефлексов корня различных иранских языков, в том числе и осетинского lӕg / лӕг ‘мужчина, муж'. Данное явление может быть рассмотрено в терминах генетического родства языков. Однако появление данных имен может быть результатом контактов германоязычных и ираноязычных народов, проживавших на сопредельных территориях и связанных общностью исторических судеб в позднюю античность и раннее Средневековье. Пытаясь установить следы иранского влияния в рассматриваемом фрагменте германского ономастикона, мы рассматриваем это не только в терминах заимствования имен собственных. Речь может идти о проникновении нарицательных слов, которые со временем в системе языка-реципиента становились активными антропонимообразующими элементами наряду с автохтонными лексемами.
The analysis of Old Germanic compound anthroponyms allows regarding element -lac as a regular component of the onomasiological process. We presume that the Germanic masculine proper names with this or similar exponent were generated with the help of the words, which are reflexes of the Indo-European root *loca- meaning ‘people, world, man' and, consequently, these words are cognates of the reflexes of this very root in different Iranian languages, as well as of the Ossetic lӕg/лӕг - ‘man, husband'. This phenomenon can be interpreted in terms of genetic cognation of languages. However appearance of the Iranian roots can be accounted for by typological contacts of the peoples, who lived on contiguous territories and shared communal historical fates in the late antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Trying to set tracks of Iranian-Germanic interrelation in the investigated fragment of German onomastics, we attribute this not only to the borrowing of proper names. This could have been penetration of denominative words that in the course of time within the system of the recipient language became active elements alongside with indigenous lexemes.

Published: August 2021

En el mes de marzo de 2020, la situación de contingencia sanitaria, a nivel mundial y en México particularmente, exigió nuevas formas de articular los procesos de enseñanza – aprendizaje para evitar la cancelación del ciclo escolar; para el Instituto Politécnico Nacional supuso aprovechar al máximo las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. Para ello puso a la disposición de los docentes y alumnos recursos digitales didácticos, objetos de aprendizaje, cursos y tutoriales para el manejo de plataformas educativas como CLASSROOM, MOODLE, EDMODO, entre otras. Con lo que se pretendía que las clases presenciales fueran sustituidas por clases en línea.
Para conocer cuáles fueron las adaptaciones pedagógicas que realizaron los docentes para impartir sus cursos en línea y con la finalidad de analizar cuáles fueron los principales obstáculos que enfrentaron, y las formas de evaluación de los aprendizajes que implementaron, se diseñó esta investigación exploratoria – descriptiva que tuvo por objetivo explorar la percepción de 15 docentes relacionada con el diseño de sus clases en línea, durante marzo – julio del 2020. Los resultados muestran que el 13% considera que los alumnos en este esquema en línea están aprendiendo igual o más que en sus cursos presenciales y el 87% restante opina que los alumnos están aprendiendo menos porque no están acostumbrados a ser autodidáctas y tienen un aprendizaje conductivo dependiente del docente. Por otro lado, al preguntarles su percepción sobre qué les hizo falta durante este periodo de clases en línea, 47% consideró que desarrollar más materiales didácticos digitales e interactivos, 27% consideró que desarrollar una planeación didáctica más efectiva, al 13% les hizo falta infraestructura porque en las sesiones mediante la plataforma Zoom se les caía el Internet; y 13% enfatizó que les hizo falta más capacitación en herramientas de gestión de las TIC.
Se concluye que la evaluación del proceso de aprendizaje sigue siendo la mayor área de oportunidad para lograr elevar la calidad de la enseñanza – aprendizaje en línea. Asimismo, no existe prueba de que los docentes hicieran uso de la tecnología para diversificar sus prácticas evaluativas, al solamente trasladar lo que ya se tenía planeado en clases presenciales y montar los materiales y actividades en una plataforma educativa.
Problematika Transformasi Implementasi Otonomi Desa Baru Dalam Spirit Undang-Undang Desa (Studi Kasus Desa Rimbo Panjang Provinsi Riau)

Otonomi desa di Indonesia secara regulasi semakin disempurnakan oleh pemerintah pusat dengan istilah transformasi dari desa lama menjadi desa baru sesuai dengan spirit Undang-Undang Nomor 6 tahun 2014 tentang Desa. Namun pada realitasnya implementasi otonomi desa baru pada operasionalisasinya masih menghadapi berbagai masalah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui problematika transformasi implementasi otonomi desa di Desa Rimbo Panjang, Provinsi Riau. Penelitian menggunakan kaedah deskriptif kualitatif. Sumber data diperoleh melalui observasi dan wawancara mendalam (indepth interview) dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dan snowball sampling. Key informan penelitian ini ialah Kepala Desa, Perangkat Desa, BPD, LKMD, tokoh masyarakat dan perwakilan kelompok masyarakat Desa Rimbo Panjang. Sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari dokumen dan arsip desa yang ada di kantor Desa Rimbo Panjang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan desa di Desa Rimbo Panjang belum mengarah kepada spirit kemandirian, hal tersebut ditandai dari data sumber pendapatan APBDes hanya bersumber dari dana transfer, tidak ada dari kontribusi pendapatan asli desa (PADesa). Kepemimpinan desa sebagai baris terdepan, masih bekerja apa adanya (taken for granted), merealisasikan alokasi dana transfer (Dana Desa) yang berasal dari APBN dan (Alokasi Dana Desa) yang berasal dari APBD. Program pembangunan desa dilaksanakan sesuai dengan Rencana Kerja Pemerintah Desa (RKPDes) setiap tahunnya dengan target dana tersebut habis pada akhir tahun. Kemudian, membuat RKPDes tahun baru dan menunggu kembali alokasi dana transfer tanpa ada upaya melakukan inovasi (perubahan) mendasar yang mengarah kepada penciptaan pelayanan kebutuhan masyarakat setempat, dan membangun gerakan ekonomi desa sesuai potensi yang dimiliki. Minimnya ruang partisipasi masyarakat dalam perencanaan dan pelaksanaan pembangunan desa, rendahnya transparansi dan akuntabilitas dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan dan pembangunan desa. BUMDes yang terbentuk di Desa Rimbo Panjang tidak berfungsi sebagai pilar kelembagaan bisnis ekonomi desa yang mampu menawarkan barang dan jasa kepada masyarakat, dengan menggali potensi desa yang ada. Pemerintah Desa Rimbo panjang masih perlu bimbingan dan pengarahan dari pihak pemerintah daerah agar dana desa yang ada bisa mewujudkan desa mandiri dan mampu mengurangi ketergantungan dana dari pemerintah.
Machine Learning Techniques for Heart Failure Prediction
Authors: Mansur Huang Nur Shahellin , Ibrahim Zaidah , Mat Diah Norizan 
Published: August 2021

This paper discusses the performance of four popular machine learning techniques for predicting heart failure using a publicly available dataset from kaggle.com, which are Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB), and Logistic Regression (LR). They were selected due to their good performance in medical-related applications. Heart failure is a common public health problem, and there is a need to improve the management of heart failure cases to increase the survival rate. The vast amount of medical data related to heart failure and the availability of powerful computing devices allow researchers to conduct more experiments. The performance of the machine learning techniques was measured by accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, sensitivity, and specificity in predicting heart failure with 13 symptoms or features. Experimental analysis showed that RF produces the highest performance score, which is 0.88 compared to SVM, NB, and LR. Further experiments with RF were also conducted to determine the important features in predicting heart failure, and the results indicated that all 13 symptoms or features are important.

Abstract
Current therapies for Head and Neck cancer treatment are extremely advanced. Though, they cause oral complications which have deleterious effects on basic life functions, affect oral and overall health, may lead to significant morbidity and treatment discontinuation and have an impact on survivorship and quality of life. As new therapies are introduced, a new spectrum of oral complications is rising, compromising the mucosal integrity and the salivary function, that may not be recognized, reported and treated properly. Oral complications, often permanent and extremely painful, may include mucositis, xerostomia, dysgeusia, infections, trismus and fibrosis, risk of dental disease and necrosis of the jaw, neurosensory disorders and when targeted therapies and immunotherapy are involved, aphthoid and lichenoid lesions can also be reported. Increased awareness is required for the prevention and management of these complications, which can be best provided by a multidisciplinary team.
Effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium deficiencies on some morphological and physiological properties and nutrient uptake by two almond rootstocks

Published: August 2021

Abstract
A soilless culture and completely randomised two-factorial experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) deficiencies on macronutrient uptake and to determine some characteristics of Prunus dulcis L. (bitter almond: BA) and Prunus scoparia L. (Alook: AL) seedlings. Seedlings in pots containing perlite were irrigated with half-strength, N-, P- and K-free Hoagland solutions for 12 wk. Results showed that N deficiency decreased the N and Ca levels and increased the K concentration in the shoots of both rootstocks. Phosphorus deficiency decreased N and P concentrations of both seedlings, as well as the Ca and Mg concentrations of BA seedlings. Potassium deficiency decreased the K concentration of the BA seedlings and decreased N, K and Ca concentrations of the AL seedlings. In the BA seedlings, only the fresh weight of the shoot decreased under the P deficiency condition; the other morphological traits of shoots in this genotype and none of the traits in the AL seedlings were affected by P deficiency. Furthermore, both the rootstocks can maintain their optimal growth even at very low concentration of K; this shows that both rootstocks consume K in a luxurious way. Under nutrient-deficient conditions, the AL seedling has greater ability to maintain the N concentration or uptake it more than the BA seedling. The N P and K deficiency conditions disturbed the electron transfer cycle of photosystem II in the AL leaves and caused a response. Most root traits of the AL seedling were not changed under nutrient deficiency, and this indicates a high tolerance of the AL roots compared to the BA roots or lower demand in this genotype for these elements. The characteristics of P. scoparia seedlings were less affected by the deficiency of these three elements, and therefore, P. scoparia rootstock is preferred to BA for weak and non-fertile soils.
Comparison of the Evaluation of Performance Preconditions in Tennis with the Use of Equal and Expertly Judged Criteria Weights

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Tennis performance is influenced by various factors, among which physical performance factors play an important role. The aim of the study was an analysis of possibilities of the use of Saaty’s method for assessing the level of performance prerequisites and comparing the results obtained using equal weights and various weights. The research on Czech female players (U12; n = 211) was based on the results of the TENDIAG1 test battery (9 items) and the results were processed by FuzzME software and relevant statistical methods (correlation coefficient r, Student´s t-test, effect size index d). The results of Saaty’s method show that the most important athletic performance criteria for tennis coaches are the leg reaction time and the running speed, while the least important are endurance and strength. The evaluation using various criteria weights offers a finer scale for assessing athletes’ performance prerequisites despite the proven high degree of association between the results obtained with equal and various weights and the insignificant difference of mean values. The results have shown possibilities for the use of a fuzzy approach in sports practice and motivate further research towards broadening the structure or the number of evaluation criteria.

Abstract
This paper investigates the current legitimate digital music business trends and models created by the innovation of new digital technologies and examines their pertinence in the Nepalese music industry. Further, it scrutinises neighbouring music markets and juxtaposes the Nepalese music market against their current market trends. Based on eight in-depth semi-structured interviews with executives and stakeholders of different major, medium and independent Nepalese record labels, the paper examines two questions: what is preventing Nepalese recorded music from being found digitally and accessible legally; and what are the opportunities, gaps and requirements that confront the search for a commercially viable route for the optimal digital music business model to make Nepalese music digitally and legally accessible, both locally and globally?
How Has Covid-19 Affected Published Academic Research? A Content Analysis of Journal Articles Mentioning the Virus
Authors: Thelwall Mike , Thelwall Saheeda 
Published: August 2021

Abstract

Purpose
Methods to tackle Covid-19 have been developed by a wave of biomedical research but the pandemic has also influenced many aspects of society, generating a need for research into its consequences, and potentially changing the way existing topics are investigated. This article investigates the nature of this influence on the wider academic research mission.

Design/methodology/approach
This article reports an inductive content analysis of 500 randomly selected journal articles mentioning Covid-19, as recorded by the Dimensions scholarly database on 19 March 2021. Covid-19 mentions were coded for the influence of the disease on the research.

Findings
Whilst two thirds of these articles were about biomedicine (e.g. treatments, vaccines, virology), or health services in response to Covid-19, others covered the pandemic economy, society, safety, or education. In addition, some articles were not about the pandemic but stated that Covid-19 had increased or decreased the value of the reported research or changed the context in which it was conducted.

Research limitations
The findings relate only to Covid-19 influences declared in published journal articles.

Practical implications
Research managers and funders should consider whether their current procedures are effective in supporting researchers to address the evolving demands of pandemic societies, particularly in terms of timeliness.

Originality/value
The results show that although health research dominates the academic response to Covid-19, it is more widely disrupting academic research with new demands and challenges.
Efficiency of ventilated facades in terms of airflow in the air gap
Authors: Schabowicz Krzysztof , Zawiślak Łukasz , Staniów Paweł 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The gradual exploitation of the natural environment has forced most developed countries to promote ecological solutions and the development of sustainable construction. Ventilated facades perfectly match into this trend, and with their appropriate design, they bring real energy savings. This paper analyzes numerically the influence of the inflowing air, mimicking the wind, on the efficiency of heat removal from the ventilated space and heat transmission by thermal radiation and conduction through the consecutive layers of the external wall. For the purpose of comparison, two variants of ventilated facade were adopted: open and closed joints, at different wind speeds prevailing outside. The results obtained show that in windless weather, the ventilated facade with open joints shows higher heat removal efficiency and thus lower heat transmission to the building interior. At higher wind speeds of 5 m/s, the open-joint and closed-joint ventilated facades achieve similar heat transfer efficiency, and the prevailing temperature inside the building for the two technologies is almost identical. Subsequent increments of incoming wind on the building result in minimal differences in the heat transmission to the building interior, representing changes of about 0.1°C at increments of another 5 m/s of incoming wind. Conscious use of this facade technology, along with appropriate urban design of cities, can help reduce the energy needed to cool buildings during the summer period.
Private Car, Public Oversight: Municipal Regulation of Ride-hailing Platforms in Toronto and the Greater Golden Horseshoe
Authors: Woodside Jonathan , Moos Markus , Vinodrai Tara 
Published: August 2021

Municipalities in many regions of Canada have regulated vehicle-for-hire services. With the rise of ride-hailing platforms, such as Uber and Lyft, this responsibility to produce a reliable vehicle-for-hire service has largely been transferred to private platforms. Using a case study of the City of Toronto and surrounding Greater Golden Horseshoe, this article examines how local regulation of this critical urban mobility service has changed. Drawing upon an analysis of 27 interviews with municipal staff, councilors and industry experts, a review of written local media, and a review of government documents, the study finds that municipalities are withdrawing from direct control of the industry due to a lack of tools of oversight and a prioritization of private industry over public service. The study discusses ongoing challenges that may be addressed by greater oversight of the service. It concludes by highlighting examples of municipalities growing their capacity for oversight and provides recommendations for further growth.
