Published: September 2021

Background
Peer narratives engage listeners through personally relevant content and have been shown to promote lifestyle change and effective self-management among patients with hypertension. Incorporating key quotations from these stories into follow-up text messages is a novel way to continue the conversation, providing reinforcement of health behaviors in the patients’ daily lives.

Objective
In our previous work, we developed and tested videos in which African American Veterans shared stories of challenges and success strategies related to hypertension self-management. This study aims to describe our process for developing a text-messaging protocol intended for use after viewing videos that incorporate the voices of these Veterans.

Methods
We used a multistep process, transforming video-recorded story excerpts from 5 Veterans into 160-character texts. We then integrated these into comprehensive 6-month texting protocols. We began with an iterative review of story transcripts to identify vernacular features and key self-management concepts emphasized by each storyteller. We worked with 2 Veteran consultants who guided our narrative text message development in substantive ways, as we sought to craft culturally sensitive content for texts. Informed by Veteran input on timing and integration, supplementary educational and 2-way interactive assessment text messages were also developed.

Results
Within the Veterans Affairs texting system Annie, we programmed five 6-month text-messaging protocols that included cycles of 3 text message types: narrative messages, nonnarrative educational messages, and 2-way interactive messages assessing self-efficacy and behavior related to hypertension self-management. Each protocol corresponds to a single Veteran storyteller, allowing Veterans to choose the story that most resonates with their own life experiences.

Conclusions
We crafted a culturally sensitive text-messaging protocol using narrative content referenced in Veteran stories to support effective hypertension self-management. Integrating narrative content into a mobile health texting intervention provides a low-cost way to support longitudinal behavior change. A randomized trial is underway to test its impact on the lifestyle changes and blood pressure of African American Veterans.

Emotional Tone, Analytical Thinking, and Somatosensory Processes of a Sample of Italian Tweets During the First Phases of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Observational Study
Authors: Monzani Dario , Vergani Laura , Pizzoli Silvia Francesca Maria , Marton Giulia , Pravettoni Gabriella 
Published: September 2021

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic is a traumatic individual and collective chronic experience, with tremendous consequences on mental and psychological health that can also be reflected in people’s use of words. Psycholinguistic analysis of tweets from Twitter allows obtaining information about people’s emotional expression, analytical thinking, and somatosensory processes, which are particularly important in traumatic events contexts.

Objective
We aimed to analyze the influence of official Italian COVID-19 daily data (new cases, deaths, and hospital discharges) and the phase of managing the pandemic on how people expressed emotions and their analytical thinking and somatosensory processes in Italian tweets written during the first phases of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.

Methods
We retrieved 1,697,490 Italian COVID-19–related tweets written from February 24, 2020 to June 14, 2020 and analyzed them using LIWC2015 to calculate 3 summary psycholinguistic variables: emotional tone, analytical thinking, and somatosensory processes. Official daily data about new COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospital discharges were retrieved from the Italian Prime Minister's Office and Civil Protection Department GitHub page. We considered 3 phases of managing the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. We performed 3 general models, 1 for each summary variable as the dependent variable and with daily data and phase of managing the pandemic as independent variables.

Results
General linear models to assess differences in daily scores of emotional tone, analytical thinking, and somatosensory processes were significant (F6,104=21.53, P<.001, R2= .55; F5,105=9.20, P<.001, R2= .30; F6,104=6.15, P<.001, R2=.26, respectively).

Conclusions
The COVID-19 pandemic affects how people express emotions, analytical thinking, and somatosensory processes in tweets. Our study contributes to the investigation of pandemic psychological consequences through psycholinguistic analysis of social media textual data.

Authors: Davies Sian M , Jardine Jenni , Gutridge Kerry , Bernard Zara , Park Stephen , Dawson Tom , Abel Kathryn M , Whelan Pauline 
Published: September 2021

Background
The incidence of mental health problems in children and adolescents in the United Kingdom has significantly increased in recent years, and more people are in contact with mental health services in Greater Manchester than in other parts of the country. Children and young people spend most of their time at school and with teachers. Therefore, schools and other educational settings may be ideal environments in which to identify those experiencing or those at the risk of developing psychological symptoms and provide timely support for children most at risk of mental health or related problems.

Objective
This study aims to test the feasibility of embedding a low-cost, scalable, and innovative digital mental health intervention in schools in the Greater Manchester area.

Methods
Two components of a 6-week digital intervention were implemented in a primary school in Greater Manchester: Lexplore, a reading assessment using eye-tracking technology to assess reading ability and detect early atypicality, and Lincus, a digital support and well-being monitoring platform.

Results
Of the 115 children approached, 34 (29.6%) consented and took part; of these 34 children, all 34 (100%) completed the baseline Lexplore assessment, and 30 (88%) completed the follow-up. In addition, most children were classified by Lincus as regular (≥1 per week) survey users. Overall, the teaching staff and children found both components of the digital intervention engaging, usable, feasible, and acceptable. Despite the widespread enthusiasm and recognition of the potential added value from staff, we met significant implementation barriers.

Conclusions
This study explored the acceptability and feasibility of a digital mental health intervention for schoolchildren. Further work is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital intervention and to understand whether the assessment of reading atypicality using Lexplore can identify those who require additional help and whether they can also be supported by Lincus. This study provides high-quality pilot data and highlights the potential benefits of implementing digital assessment and mental health support tools in a primary school setting.

Published: September 2021

El propósito fundamental de la investigación fue estructurar un modelo para incorporar las TIC en las MIPYMES del sector hotelero de la ciudad de Montería, la investigación se desarrolló con un enfoque mixto y un alcance exploratorio. La validación del modelo en tres organizaciones del sector hotelero con uso básico, intermedio y avanzado de las TIC permitió cotejar que los beneficios competitivos resultantes de la TIC implementadas en dichos hoteles, equivalen o se corresponden con los beneficios competitivos identificados en la caracterización de estas. Aunque el modelo para incorporar las TIC fue concebido para ser implementado en las organizaciones del sector hotelero de la ciudad de Montería, este puede ser igualmente implementado por cualquier hotel sin importar su tamaño y su ubicación geográfica, dado a que en su estructuración se tuvieron en cuenta los procesos que se desarrollan en este tipo de organizaciones a nivel local, regional, nacional e internacional y las aplicaciones tecnológicas (TIC) propuestas abarcan todos estos procesos. El modelo puede ser adaptado a cualquier otro sector económico, para ello se deben identificar las TIC que conformarían el nivel 2 control de los procesos operacionales y sus beneficios, dado a que son distintas para cada sector. El modelo se alinea con las políticas del Ministerio de las TIC – MinTIC en el sentido que buscan que los empresarios del sector hotelero se apropien del uso de las tecnologías para que sean más competitivos.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To determine an optimal time interval between amputation and initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy (TIamp-chemo) in dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma without distant metastases and whether TIamp-chemo was associated with outcome.

ANIMALS
168 client-owned dogs treated at 9 veterinary oncology centers.

PROCEDURES
Data were collected from the dogs’ medical records concerning potential prognostic variables and outcomes. Dogs were grouped as to whether they received chemotherapy within 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, or > 30 days after amputation of the affected limb. Analyses were performed to identify variables associated with time to tumor progression and survival time after limb amputation and to determine an optimal TIamp-chemo.

RESULTS
Median TIamp-chemo was 14 days (range, 1 to 210 days). Median time to tumor progression for dogs with a TIamp-chemo ≤ 5 days (375 days; 95% CI, 162 to 588 days) was significantly longer than that for dogs with a TIamp-chemo > 5 days (202 days; 95% CI, 146 to 257 days). Median overall survival time for dogs with a TIamp-chemo ≤ 5 days (445 days; 95% CI, 345 to 545 days) was significantly longer than that for dogs with a TIamp-chemo > 5 days (239 days; 95% CI, 186 to 291 days).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Findings indicated that early (within 5 days) initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy after limb amputation was associated with a significant and clinically relevant survival benefit for dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma without distant metastases. These results suggested that the timing of chemotherapy may be an important prognostic variable.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To determine epidemiological features of cardiovascular disease in rabbits examined at a veterinary teaching hospital and characterize clinical and pathological findings.

ANIMALS
59 rabbits.

PROCEDURES
Medical records from 2001 to 2018 were reviewed, and data were collected. Echocardiographic images and histologic diagnoses were reviewed.

RESULTS
The prevalence of cardiovascular disease was 2.6% (59/2,249). Clinical signs related to cardiac disease included heart murmur (n = 25 rabbits), arrhythmia (22), tachypnea or dyspnea (13), hyporexia or anorexia (13), and muscle wasting (9). Radiographic (n = 39) abnormalities included cardiomegaly (19) and peritoneal (12) and pleural (11) effusion. Common echocardiographic (n = 37) diagnoses included degenerative valve disease (15), dilated cardiomyopathy (7), unclassified cardiomyopathy (4), restrictive cardiomyopathy (3), and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (2). On ECG (n = 19), supraventricular arrhythmias (16) were more common than ventricular arrhythmias (12). Thirty-five necropsy reports were available, and diagnoses included cardiomyopathy (n = 14), myocarditis (10), and arteriosclerosis (9). Medical management (n = 20) included a wide range of drugs and dosages with few adverse effects. Survival times (n = 36 rabbits) ranged from 1 to 2,353 days with a median cardiac disease–specific survival time of 306 days.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The findings provided information on the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in rabbits and survival times for affected rabbits. Right-sided, left-sided, and biventricular congestive heart failure occurred equally. Median survival time was lower than that reported for other species. Further research on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease in rabbits is needed.
Panels made from recycled tire-application of linear model to test the tensile force
Authors: Crnoja Andjelko 
Published: September 2021

Abstract

Background: Number of used tires is increasing every day and the accumulation of such waste is a serious problem in terms of environmental protection and in terms of delay and deposition (End-of-LifeTires, 2019). Over the last twenty years the study of new ways to use products from recycled tires has been intensified. When developing new products, it is important to investigate how certain properties of the materials used change. According to the available literature, different variants of material composition and processing approaches have been investigated (Kowalska, Chmielewski, Guleira & Dutta, 2017; Zaoiai, Makani, Tafraoui & Benmerioul, 2015).

Objectives: The aim of this work, based on the evaluation of an experiment using a mathematical model, is to determine the required structure of the material. The possibility and correctness of using the linear model was determined.

Methods/Approach: The experiment was conducted to check the magnitude of the deformation depending on the stress.

Results: Based on the obtained results, the accuracy of the applied linear model and the influence of individual factors on the results of the experiment were evaluated.

Conclusions: Mathematical linear model estimation refers to the determination of quantitative parameters in the structure of a material. If the required deformation is defined or acceptable, other material parameters can be determined with some accuracy.
From a policy bank to a crowding-in bank: The development of the European Investment Bank in the last ten years, as seen through its business model
Authors: Kavvadia Helen 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The European Investment Bank (EIB), the primary financial arm of the European Union (EU) has become of central interest in the last ten years. The EIB has been increasingly solicited by the EU to bolster the European economy during the global crisis and support its recovery thereafter. Calls have recently been voiced for the EIB to contribute to the European Green Deal and the post-pandemic economic stimulus. This paper studies the EIB’s role in the European economy through its business model in the period from 2009–2019. The paper’s prime objective is to investigate what enabled the EIB to act in a countercyclical mode and how the EIB met the new economy needs in this turbulent environment.

Authors: Pivar Jasmina 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The cities of the European Union are adopting big data technologies in their development towards a smart city. Given that big data technologies are complex and disruptive technologies, it is necessary to determine the importance of factors and their aspects for the adoption of big data technologies in cities. The aim of this paper is to identify the most important aspects of technological factors in the adoption of big data technologies in the cities of the European Union. In order to achieve the goal of the paper a survey was conducted on a sample of European Union cities, and on the collected data, an analysis of the map of importance and performance of factors for the adoption of big data technologies was conducted. The results of the research show that the aspects of absorption capacity and technological readiness of EU cities are of relatively high importance, but with low levels of performance in relation to organizational and environmental factors. The contribution of the paper consists of general guidelines for increasing the level of technological readiness and absorption capacity of cities in order to increase the success of the adoption of big data technologies in the cities of the European Union.

Influence of Different Irrigation Strategies on Yield and Water Use of Dry Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Semi-Arid Zone
Authors: YAVUZ NURCAN 
Published: September 2021

Increasing population and challenges among the sectors due to the climate change and incorrect water policy has increased the pressure on water resources. This situation being as a global crisis particularly in respect to the food security has accelerated productive utilization of water supplies. The aim of the current study with 2-year experiments was to identify the effect of different irrigation interval and irrigation regimes on the yield and yield components of dry bean having greater than 50% of total world legumes production. In that experiment, two different irrigation interval, 7 and 14-day, and three different irrigation levels, (I100, I75 and I50, were studied.
In results, the maximum yield was obtained from 7-day irrigation interval, and 28% yield reduction was detected at 14-day irrigation interval. In examine the irrigation levels, the highest yield was found at full irrigation (I100), and increasing water stress caused significant yield reductions e.g. 21% and 49% for I75 and I50, respectively. The evapotranspiration and total applied water as an average of 2013-2014 were calculated as 533 mm, and 450 mm, respectively. In assessment of the both the combine year results, the ky value was determined as 1.59, and this finding shows that dry bean crop is sensitive to the water stress condition.

Adult Brachial Plexus Injuries. Part 1: Anatomy, Exam and Evaluation
Authors: Rodríguez Ricardo María Cristina , García González Luis Alejandro , Shin Alexander Y. 
Published: September 2021

Introducción. El plexo braquial es una red intrincada de nervios que proveen la inervación sensitiva y motora de la cintura escapular y la extremidad superior. Diferentes mecanismos pueden lesionar estos nervios en diferentes grados y localizaciones, y en los casos más severos las raíces se avulsionan de la médula espinal resultando en una pérdida global de la función y la sensibilidad de la extremidad superior.
Objetivos. Revisar la anatomía del plexo braquial y los mecanismos y patrones de lesión; proveer guías para una evaluación estructurada, y revisar el rol de los estudios diagnósticos.
Resultados. El conocimiento sobre la anatomía del plexo braquial es útil para identificar el sitio de la lesión y elegir el tratamiento más adecuado. La tracción cerrada es el mecanismo más común de lesión en esta red de nervios y la mayoría de lesiones son completas en el momento de la presentación. El examen físico es fundamental para descartar situaciones que ponen en riesgo la vida, interpretar los estudios diagnósticos y tomar decisiones durante el tratamiento. El mielotac es el estándar de oro de las imágenes diagnósticas y el electrodiagnóstico es la manera más confiable de identificar la lesión nerviosa y documentar los signos más tempranos de reinervación. Aunque existe una gran variedad de opciones para restaurar la función, la elección depende de los nervios lesionados y de los hallazgos al examen físico.
Conclusión. El pronóstico de las lesiones del plexo braquial depende de un diagnóstico correcto y oportuno. Los procesos diagnósticos multifactoriales buscan delimitar las opciones para ayudar al cirujano a decidir el mejor curso de tratamiento y evitar pérdidas de tiempo.
