Published: April 2021

<p><em>Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the condition of metabolism affected by chronic hyperglycemia (the increase of glucose levels in the blood) caused by insulin secretion defect. One of the non-pharmacological therapies used to decrease the type 2 DM is cognitive behavioral therapy. The objective of the research was to identify the effect of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) on self management and self-care behaviors of type 2 DM patients. The research used a quasi-experimental method with a two</em><em>-</em><em>group pretest-posttest design. The samples were 70 respondents with 35 of them were in the intervention group and the other 35 were in the control group, taken by using a consecutive sampling technique. The data were gathered using the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaires (DSMQ) and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaires. The gathered data were analyzed by using paired t-test, and independent t-test. The results of the study showed that there were significantly differences of mean scores of self management and self care behaviors between intervention and control groups </em>(<em>t</em>=13.24; <em>p</em>=0.00) and<em>(t=14.63,</em><em></em><em>p=0.00), respectively. It is recommended that cognitive behavior therapy can be used as one of the non-pharmacological therapies</em><em></em><em>to change self-care behaviors in type 2 DM patients.</em></p>

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Concepts of the interaction between autogenic (e.g., flow process) and allogenic (e.g., tectonics) controls on sedimentation have advanced to a state that allows the controlling forces to be distinguished. Here we examine outcropping and subsurface Neogene deep-marine clastic systems that traversed the Hikurangi subduction margin via thrust-bounded trench-slope basins, providing an opportunity to examine the interplay of structural deformation and deep-marine sedimentation. Sedimentary logging and mapping of Miocene outcrops from the exhumed portion of the subduction wedge record heavily amalgamated, sand-rich lobe complexes, up to 200 m thick, which accumulated behind NE–SW-oriented growth structures. There was no significant deposition from low-density parts of the gravity flows in the basin center, although lateral fringes demonstrate fining and thinning indicative of deposits from low-density flows. Seismic data from the offshore portion of the margin show analogous lobate reflector geometries. These deposits accumulate into complexes up to 5 km wide, 8 km long, and 300 m thick, comparable in scale with the outcropping lobes on this margin. Mapping reveals lobe complexes that are vertically stacked behind thrusts. These results illustrate repeated trapping of the sandier parts of turbidity currents to form aggradational lobe complexes, with the finer-grained suspended load bypassing to areas downstream. However, the repeated development of lobes characterized by partial bypass implies that a feedback mechanism operates to perpetuate a partial confinement condition, via rejuvenation of accommodation. The mechanism proposed is a coupling of sediment loading and deformation rate, such that load-driven subsidence focuses stress on basin-bounding faults and perpetuates generation of accommodation in the basin, hence modulating tectonic forcing. Recognition of such a mechanism has implications for understanding the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of deep-marine fold and thrust belts and the distribution of resources within them.

Published: April 2021

Background: The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) in 2019 estimated that 450,000 to 50,000 people in Cameroon were living with HIV, yet only 79% knew their HIV status which is far from the 90% target for 2020. To address this situation, Cameroon adopted the “Opt-out” strategyof the World Health Organization (WHO) and use of trained non-medical cadre (psychosocial agents) to reach out to more people with HIV testing services (HTS). This describes the implementation and outcomes of this strategy by reviewing the activity of a typical day in the Yaoundé Central Hospital (YCH) in Cameroon.
Methods: HTS were offered to hospitalized and ambulatory patients (including their companions) in different departments of the YCH. Following screening for recent HIV testing, those with unknown HIV status that gave consent or did not explicitly refuse testing (as per the “Opt-out Strategy”), were counseled and tested for HIV. Testing followed the “National HIV Rapid Testing Algorithm” using rapid diagnostic test kits. Results were either positive, negative or indeterminate. Patients with positive HIV results were linked to the Care and Treatment Center for treatment initiation.
Results: Of the 350 patients screened and offered HTS using non-medical cadre (psychosocial agents), 193 (55.1%) were hospitalized and 157 (44.9%) came for outpatient visits. The age of participants ranged from 14 to 92 years and the yield of HIV testing in the sample population was 5.1% (6.2% for hospitalized patients and 3.8% for outpatient clinics). Statistics revealed that five HIV-positive patients had never been offered HTS before the study. The study revealed that HTS acceptance rate among hospitalized patients was 69.6% and that all new positive patients started antiretroviral treatment on the same day.
Conclusion and Global Health Implications: It is feasible to use trained non-medical staff for HIV testing services (HTS). Task-shifting by using trained psychosocial agents can help in case identification and linkage to HIV treatment services.

On Fulfillment of Energy Conservation Law in Theory of Elastic Waves V. V. Nevdakh1)
Authors: Nevdakh V. V. 
Published: April 2021

In accordance with the energy conservation law, the total energy of a closed physical system must remain constant at any moment of time. The energy of a traveling elastic wave consists of the kinetic energy in the oscillating particles of the medium and the potential energy of its elastic deformation. In the existing theory of elastic waves, it is believed that the kinetic and potential energy densities of a traveling wave without losses are the same at any moment of time and vary according to the same law. Accordingly, the total energy density of such wave is different at various moment of time, and only its time-averaged value remains constant. Thus, in the existing theory of elastic waves, the energy conservation law is not fulfilled. The purpose of this work is to give a physically correct description of these waves. A new description of a sound wave in an ideal gas has been proposed and it is based on the use of a wave equation system for perturbing the oscillation velocity of gas particles, which determines their kinetic energy, and for elastic deformation, which determines their potential energy. It has been shown that harmonic solutions describing the oscillations of the gas particles velocity perturbation and their elastic deformation, which are phase shifted by p/2, are considered as physically correct solutions of such equations system for a traveling sound wave. It has been found that the positions of the kinetic and potential energy maxima in the elastic wave, described by such solutions, alternate in space every quarter of the wavelength. It has been established that every quarter of a period in a wave without losses, the kinetic energy is completely converted to potential and vice versa, while at each spatial point of the wave its total energy density is the same at any time, which is consistent with the energy conservation law. The energy flux density of such traveling elastic wave is described by the expression for the Umov vector. It has been concluded that such traveling sound wave without losses in an ideal gas can be considered as a harmonic oscillator.
Coupling Peridynamics with the Classical Methods for Modeling Hydraulic Fracture Growth in Heterogeneous Reservoirs
Authors: Agrawal Shivam , York Jason , Foster John T. , Sharma Mukul M. 
Published: April 2021

Summary
Hydraulic fracture (HF) modeling is a multiscale and multiphysics problem. It should capture various effects, including those of in-situ stresses, poroelasticity, and reservoir heterogeneities at different length scales. A peridynamics (PD)-based hydraulic fracturing simulator has been demonstrated to reproduce this physics accurately. However, accounting for such details leads to a reduction in computational speed. In this paper, we present a novel coupling of the PD-based simulator with numerically efficient finite element methods (FEMs) and finite volume methods (FVMs) to achieve a significant improvement in computational performance.
Unlike classical methods, such as FEM and FVM that solve differential equations, PD uses an integral formulation to circumvent the undefined spatial derivatives at crack tips. We implemented four novel coupling schemes of our PD-based simulator with FEM and FVM: static PD region scheme, dynamic PD region scheme, adaptive mesh refinement scheme, and dynamic mesh coarsening scheme. PD equations are solved using a refined mesh close to the fracture, whereas FE/FV equations are solved using a progressively coarser mesh away from the fracture. As the fracture grows, a dynamic conversion of FE/FV cells to PD nodes and adaptive mesh refinement are incorporated. To improve the performance further, the dynamic mesh coarsening scheme additionally converts the fine PD nodes back to coarse FE/FV cells as the HF grows in length.
The coupling schemes are verified against the Kristianovich-Geertsma-de Klerk (KGD) fracture propagation problem. No spurious behavior is observed near the transition between PD and FE/FV regions. In the first three coupling schemes, the computational runtime for single fracture propagation is reduced by up to 10, 20, and 50 times, respectively, compared to a pure PD model.
Laboratory experiments on the interaction of an HF with a natural fracture (NF) are revisited. The model captures complex fracture behavior, such as turning in the case of low stress contrast and low angle of interaction, kinking for higher stress contrast or higher angle of interaction, and fracture crossing for near-orthogonal NFs. Moreover, several previously reported phenomena, including fracture propagation at an angle to the principal stress directions, competing fracture growth from multiple closely spaced clusters, and interaction with layers of varying mechanical properties are successfully modeled.
Thus, the coupling of PD with FEM and FVM offers an innovative and fundamentally comprehensive solution to alleviate the high computational costs typically associated with the pure PD-based hydraulic fracturing simulations. At the same time, these coupling schemes retain the versatility of the nonlocal PD formulation at modeling the evolution of arbitrary material damage, commonly observed during HF propagation in complex heterogeneous reservoirs.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The use of coordination complexes as building units within covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has significant potential to diversify the structures and properties of this class of materials. Here, we present a synergistic coordination and reticular chemistry approach to the design of a series of crystalline scandium–covalent organic frameworks (Sc–COFs), featuring tunable levels of metal incorporation. Removal of scandium from the material with the highest metal content results in a metal-imprinted COF (MICOF) that exhibits high affinity and capacity for Sc3+ ions in acidic environments and in the presence of competing metal ions. In particular, the selectivity of this MICOF for Sc3+ over common impurity ions such as La3+ and Fe3+ surpasses that of all reported scandium adsorbents. Importantly, analogous materials can be prepared starting from earth-abundant transition metals, highlighting the versatility of this approach for the development of tailor-made metal–COFs and MICOFs for applications involving selective metal ion capture.

Abstract
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) and spinal fracture are major complications in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who sustain spinal trauma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence, predictors, and sequelae of spinal trauma in patients with AS.Methods: This study evaluated our AS patients who had spinal traumas between January 1, 2006, and June 30, 2016 and a comparison of those patients with SCI alone, fracture alone and both SCI and spinal fracture.Results: 105 patients were enrolled. Of these patients, 89.5% had spinal fractures, and 57.1% had SCI. Among the patients with spinal fractures, 52.1% had SCI. The existence of bamboo spine was significantly more frequent in the fracture group (78.7% vs. 36.4%; P = 0.006) than in the non-fracture group. The SCI patients had more subluxation or dislocation (48.3% vs. 8.9%; P <0.001), and more cases of spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) (21.7% vs. 2.2%; P = 0.003) than the non-SCI patients. The rate of delayed diagnosis for spinal fracture was 31.4%, where 1/3 of these patients developed delayed SCI. Among the incomplete SCI patients, 58.3% had neurological improvement after treatment (P = 0.004). Conclusions: The patients with existing bamboo spine at X-ray had a higher spinal fracture rate. Spinal fractures involving the C3-C7 region, subluxation or dislocation, spinal fracture severity, and a SEH were found to be predictive of SCI. SCI in AS patients resulted in a high mortality and complication rates.

Authors: Cui Jianyuan , Ren Bin , Li Gang , Jia Zhi-Xin 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The fault diagnosis method (FDM) is widely used in machine operation and maintenance. However, the wrong decision made by the FDM might cause the machine unnecessarily to shut down. To reduce the number of false alarms, this paper proposes a fault re-decision method based on the key-delay technology. The original data from sensors are inputted into the inner fault diagnosis method (IFDM) and the proposed method only employs the results from the IFDM as the input. Then according to the improved key-delay technology and comprehensive consideration of current result and previous results, the re-decision is given. To illustrate the proposed method, a case study on gear is presented in this paper, which shows that the proposed method does decrease the false negative rate.

Abstract
Background: The extent to which Point-of-care of ultrasound (POCUS) is used in different European helicopter EMS (HEMS) is unknown. We aimed to study the availability, perception, and future aspects of POCUS in the European HEMS. Methods: A survey about the use of POCUS in HEMS was conducted by a multinational steering expert committee and was carried out from November 30, 2020 to December 30, 2020 via an online web portal. Invitations for participation were sent via email to the medical directors of the European HEMS organizations including two reminders. Results: During the study period, 69 participants from 25 countries and 41 different HEMS providers took part in the survey. 96% (n=66) completed the survey. POCUS was available in 75% of the responding HEMS organizations when needed (56% always, and 19% occasionally). 17% were planning to establish POCUS in the near future. Responders who provided POCUS used it in approximately 15% of the patients. Participants thought that POCUS is important in both trauma and non-trauma-patients (73%, n=46). The extended focused assessment sonography for trauma (eFAST) protocol (77%) was the most common used protocol. A POCUS credentialing process including documented examinations was requested in less than one third of the HEMS organizations.Conclusions: The majority of the HEMS organizations in Europe are able to provide different POCUS protocols in their services. The most used POCUS protocols were eFAST, FATE and RUSH. Despite the enthusiasm for POCUS, comprehensive training and clear credentialing processes are lacking in about two thirds of the European HEMS organizations.
Stable 3D seam tracking for thick plate GMAW manufacturing with T-joints using Kalman filter and machine learning
Authors: He Yinshui , Yu Zhuohua , Xiao Ziyi , Le Jian 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
In this paper, a robust stable three-dimensional (3D) seam tracking method is investigate based on the Kalman filter (KF) and machine learning during the multipass gas metal arc welding process with a T-joint of 60 mm thickness. The laser vision sensor is used to profile the weld seam, and with the reference image captured before arcing a scheme is proposed to extract the variable weld seam profiles (WSPs) using scale-invariant feature transform and the clustering algorithm. An effective slope mutation detection method is presented to identify the feature points of the extracted WSP, namely the candidate welding positions. In order to lower the impact of fake welding positions on seam tracking, a Bayesian Network model is first built to implement fault detection and diagnosis for the visual feature measurement process using the involved process parameters and the trigger rule. A KF, as an estimator, is then established to further stabilize the tracking process combing with a self determination algorithm of the measurement result. With the visual calibration technology, 3D seam tracking is realized. Seam tracking results show that the proposed method overcomes the tremor of the tracking position and multiple fake candidate welding positions on tracking accuracy, and the tracking accuracy is 0.6 mm. This method provides potential industrial application value for industrial manufacturing with large-scale components.
Highly anisotropic resonant dynamics in the aligned-aligned scattering of cold diatoms

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The dynamics of a resonant oriented scattering process dominated by a single partial wave provide the most sensitive probe of the long-range anisotropic forces important to chemical reactions. Here, we control the collision temperature and geometry to probe the dynamics of the cold (<2 K) rotationally inelastic scattering of a pair of optically state-prepared D2 molecules. The collision temperature is manipulated by combining the strobing action of laser state preparation and detection with the velocity dispersion of the molecular beam. When the bond axes are aligned parallel to the collision velocity, the scattering rate drops by nearly an order of magnitude when collision energies >1 K are removed, demonstrating a clear geometry-dependent resonance. Using partial wave analysis of the measured scattering angular distribution, we determine that an l = 2 shape resonance originates from the collisions between a pair of aligned D2 molecules. Our experiment illustrates the strong anisotropy of the long-range quadrupole-quadrupole interaction that controls the dynamic resonance for diatom-diatom collisions.
