Wikipedia, friend or foe regarding information on diabetic retinopathy? A content analysis in the world’s leading 19 languages
Authors: Aguilar-Morales Kouatzin , Aguirre-Suarez Gustavo , Bowles Brigham , Lee Angel , Lansingh Van Charles 
Published: October 2021

Objective
To compare the completeness and quality of information about diabetic retinopathy on Wikipedia in the world’s leading spoken languages in 2020.

Design and methods
An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. The information on diabetic retinopathy obtained from the free encyclopedia Wikipedia® was assessed in languages with one hundred million or more total speakers. The term "diabetic retinopathy" was accessed in the corresponding Wikipedia entry in English, while the "more languages" function gives access to other languages. The information on the sites was collected by three ophthalmologist observers. A database was created with the most important subtopics for the education of patients with diabetic retinopathy in any of its classifications, based on a 25-question survey. The results were stratified on a scale from 0 to 4. A confirming correlation was found in the statistical analysis among the observers.

Results
No language achieved the label “excellent”; 2 languages were rated as “fair “; 4 languages qualified as “substandard”; and 7 languages were scored as “poor.” No information could be found in five languages.

Conclusions
As would be expected, the quality of content is variable across different languages. However, if anyone can edit Wikipedia, health professionals can do so as well to improve the quality and quantity of information for patients.
Estimate the burden of sexual dysfunction due to non-communicable diseases in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Abosetugn Akine Eshete , Yehualashet Sisay Shewasinad 
Published: October 2021

Background
Untreated sexual dysfunction is a serious sexual problem that adversely affects the quality of life. Body of evidence indicates non-communicable diseases are common comorbid conditions associated with sexual dysfunction. Therefore, this review was aimed to synthesize and estimate the burden of sexual dysfunction and its determinant factors among patients with non-communicable diseases in Ethiopia.

Methods
Cross-sectional studies were systematically searched using PubMed, Google Scholar, African Journals Online, Cochran Library, Scopus database, and gray literature. Data were extracted using a standardized Joanna Briggs Institute form. The I2 statistic was used to check heterogeneity across the included studies. A funnel plot and Egger’s regression test were used to check the presence of publication bias. Sensitivity analysis was deployed to check the effect of a single study on the overall estimation. All statistical analyses were done using STATA version 11.0 software.

Result
A total of six studies with 2,434 study participants was included. The estimated pooled sexual dysfunction was 68.04% (95% CI: 56.41–79.67). Based on the subgroup analysis, the highest prevalence of sexual dysfunction was reported among patients with mental related illness, 73.02% (95% CI: 54.00–92.03).

Conclusion
In this review, nearly seven out of ten patients with chronic illness have sexual dysfunction, which implies sexual dysfunction was highly prevalent among non-communicable patients. Therefore, health care providers should screen and manage sexual dysfunction during follow-up for improving patient quality of life and sexual reproductive health satisfaction.

Authors: Poudel Ak Narayan , Zhu Shihua , Cooper Nicola , Roderick Paul , Alwan Nisreen , Tarrant Carolyn , Ziauddeen Nida , Yao Guiqing Lily 
Published: October 2021

IntroductionCoronavirus disease (Covid-19) has led to a global pandemic since its emergence in December 2019. The majority of research into Covid-19 has focused on transmission, and mortality and morbidity associated with the virus. However, less attention has been given to its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with Covid-19.MethodsWe searched for original studies published between December 2019 and Jan 2021 in PubMed, Scopus and Medline databases using a specific search strategy. We also explored literature on websites of distinguished public health organisations and hand-searched reference lists of eligible studies. The studies were screened by two reviewers according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) flowchart using pre-determined eligibility criteria. Data were synthesised, analysed descriptively and reported in line with PRISMA guidelines.ResultsIn total, 1276 studies were identified through the search strategy. Of these, 77 studies were selected for full-text reading after screening the studies. After reading full-text, 12 eligible studies were included in this review. The majority of the studies used a generic HRQoL assessment tool; five studies used SF-36, five studies used EQ-5D-5L, and three used pulmonary disease-specific HRQoL tools (two studies used two tools each). The impact of Covid-19 on HRQoL was found to be considerable in both Acute Covid and Long Covid patients. Higher impact on HRQoL was reported in Acute Covid, females, older ages, patients with more severe disease and patients from low-income countries.ConclusionThe impact of Covid-19 on HRQoL of Acute and Long Covid patients is substantial. There was disproportional impact on patients by gender, age, severity of illness and study country. The long-term impact of Covid-19 is still in its initial stage. The findings of the review may be useful to researchers, policymakers, and clinicians caring for people following Covid-19 infection.

Published: October 2021

VISSIM is a Simulations model which means a city traffic simulation model. VISSIM is a simulation software used by professionals to create simulations from dynamic traffic scenarios before making real plans. This research was conducted to determine how traffic performance and traffic performance optimization at the junctions between the existing conditions and the Vissim program caused by congestion. An effective method for overcoming non-jammed junctions can be made using the VISSIM method. This study was conducted at THREE-WAY JUNCTION in Jl. Sukabangun 2 (South) - Jl. R.A Abusamah (West) - Jl. Sukabangun 2 (Utara) - Jl. BeringinSukabangun 2 (East). In this study, three variations were used, namely the traffic light method, the method of forbidden turning right, and the method of dividing the road and turning signs. The results of PTV Vissim simulation showed that the traffic light method has a quite high queue length, namely 79m compared to the existing condition of 63m, for the vehicle delay in this method is 98.954s. On the method of forbidden turning right from the direction of Jl. BeringinSukabangun 2 (East) has a low queue length of 0.287m compared to the existing condition of 63m. The vehicle delay in this method is 13.307s. The method of dividing the road and turning signs, the queue length is quite low at 1.147m compared to the existing condition of 63m. The vehicle delay in this method is 30,169s. The results of the simulation revealed that the most effective method at THREE-WAY JUNCTION in jalanSukabangun 2 is method of forbidden turning right, dividing the roads and turning signs.Â Â
tf.data

Training machine learning models requires feeding input data for models to ingest. Input pipelines for machine learning jobs are often challenging to implement efficiently as they require reading large volumes of data, applying complex transformations, and transferring data to hardware accelerators while overlapping computation and communication to achieve optimal performance. We present tf.data, a framework for building and executing efficient input pipelines for machine learning jobs. The tf.data API provides operators that can be parameterized with user-defined computation, composed, and reused across different machine learning domains. These abstractions enable users to focus on the application logic of data processing, while tf.data's runtime ensures that pipelines run efficiently.
We demonstrate that input pipeline performance is critical to the end-to-end training time of state-of-the-art machine learning models. tf.data delivers the high performance required, while avoiding the need for manual tuning of performance knobs. We show that tf.data features, such as parallelism, caching, static optimizations, and optional non-deterministic execution are essential for high performance. Finally, we characterize machine learning input pipelines for millions of jobs that ran in Google's datacenter fleet, showing that input data processing is highly diverse and consumes a significant fraction of job resources. Our analysis motivates future research directions, such as sharing computation across jobs and pushing data projection to the storage layer.
Towards instance-optimized data systems
Authors: Kraska Tim 
Published: October 2021

In recent years, we have seen increased interest in applying machine learning to system problems. For example, there has been work on applying machine learning to improve query optimization, indexing, storage layouts, scheduling, log-structured merge trees, sorting, compression, and sketches, among many other data management tasks. Arguably, the ideas behind these techniques are similar: machine learning is used to model the data and/or workload in order to derive a more efficient algorithm or data structure. Ultimately, these techniques will allow us to build "instance-optimized" systems: that is, systems that self-adjust to a given workload and data distribution to provide unprecedented performance without the need for tuning by an administrator. While many of these techniques promise orders-of-magnitude better performance in lab settings, there is still general skepticism about how practical the current techniques really are.
The following is intended as a progress report on ML for Systems and its readiness for real-world deployments, with a focus on our projects done as part of the Data Systems and AI Lab (DSAIL) at MIT By no means is it a comprehensive overview of all existing work, which has been steadily growing over the past several years not only in the database community but also in the systems, networking, theory, PL, and many other adjacent communities.

Abstract
Extreme weather events increasingly threaten the economic situation of households and enterprises around the world. Insurance against extreme weather events is among the climate change adaptation instruments that are currently discussed by the policy community. This overview paper provides a synopsis of the state of research on insurance against extreme weather events, outlining advantages and limitations inherent in three main types of insurance: indemnity-based insurance, index-based insurance, and insurance-linked securities. The paper discusses issues related to insurance uptake, distributional effects, misleading incentives and potentially negative side effects, as well as the role of the state.
Economía social y solidaria, trabajo y “don de sí mismo”
Authors: Rita Presta Susana 
Published: October 2021

Introducción: Desde los años noventa hasta el presente, las sucesivas crisis han propiciado la construcción de formas de organización socioeconómicas ancladas en la economía social y solidaria. No obstante, dichas prácticas de resistencia han sido colonizadas por distintos sectores en relación a la racionalidad de gobierno neoliberal.
Metodología: Nos centramos en nuestro trabajo de campo (2011-2016) realizado en dos cadenas de valor textil artesanal, ubicadas en Córdoba y Entre Ríos (Argentina). A partir de un enfoque relacional, analizamos múltiples dimensiones para comprender las formas de construcción de poder y sujetos.
Resultados: En el marco de la construcción del dispositivo de la economía social y solidaria, la colonización de los afectos y el gobierno de lo posible han sido dos tecnologías de gobierno de los sujetos articuladas con el fin de obturar o gestionar el conflicto social. Se produce una transferencia de los costos de reproducción de la fuerza de trabajo ya sean hacia cada unidad productiva o individuo. Esto se produce al prescindir de la forma-salario, al mismo tiempo que, los procesos de trabajo y las mercancías producidas se mantienen orientados al mercado.
Conclusiones: Es posible plantear formas “indirectas” de plusvalía, donde el “don de sí mismo” y el “tiempo de espera” constituyen una dimensión central en las formas de subordinación de los procesos de trabajo al mercado.

Published: October 2021

O objetivo do trabalho é analisar a influência da pandemia na mobilidade da cidade das pessoas entrevistadas e nos impactos referentes a sustentabilidade dessas cidades no período pandêmico. Ele foi desenvolvido com base em uma coleta de dados por entrevista a usuários dos sistemas de transportes de diferentes cidades do Brasil, a qual foi realizada de forma remota utilizando formulário aplicado pela plataforma Google Forms, sendo que, após a tabulação dos dados, foi analisada a quantidade de pessoas que utilizavam o transporte público e que passaram a utilizar outros modos de locomoção, além do tempo de viagem para cada passageiro; e com isso, foi feito o estudo do caso. Por meio dos resultados obtidos na pesquisa, encontrou-se que o uso do modo automóvel, a pé e motocicleta aumentaram, obtendo o valor a mais de 9%, 5% e 2%, respectivamente; porém o uso da bicicleta permaneceu sendo de 5% dentre as pessoas que responderam o formulário. Além disso, foi possível obter que 41% das pessoas que se transportavam por menos de 30 minutos de automóvel seriam possivelmente pessoas que poderiam aderir o uso da bicicleta, caso existissem incentivos governamentais, o que deixaria a cidade mais sustentável. Os resultados mostram que a convergência dos dados das diferentes cidades indica um consenso da população brasileira de que há a necessidade de se manter a segurança nos sistemas de mobilidade urbana, pois é um serviço básico necessário à toda a população.

Published: October 2021

Background: To study the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes in women with PCOS with normal women and to study the incidence of complications like menstrual irregularities, mode of conception, gestational diabetes mellitus, pre eclampsia, preterm labour and NICU admissions in women with PCOS.Methods: It was prospective comparatives study done in 100 women to compare outcome in pregnancy with PCOS and normal women. A detailed history, general and obstetric examination, antenatal investigations, routine dating scan, glucose challenge test at 24 to 28 weeks in study and control groups, blood pressure recording and urine for proteinuria after 20 weeks to evaluate preeclampsia. After delivery, birth weight and APGAR score at 1 and 5 minutes were recorded. Body mass index was calculated and pregnancy outcome studied and compared.Results: Out of 50 women with PCOS 13 developed GDM, 10 developed pre eclampsia, 6 had abortion, 4 went into preterm labour. 15 babies required NICU admission.Conclusions: Pregnancy complications like GDM, pre eclampsia, preterm labour, abortions and neonatal complications like NICU admissions are higher in women with PCOS when compared with normal women. Hence PCOS needs to be diagnosed early and treated accordingly to prevent pregnancy complications.
Prevalence of Dunning Kruger effect in first year medical students in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Deb Novonil , Roy Poulami 
Published: October 2021

Background: Dunning Kruger (DK) effect refers to overestimation of one’s ability which is attributed to their inadequacy of metacognitive skills i.e., the low-performing individuals are often nescient of their incompetence which leads them to reach fallacious conclusions and make regrettable choices. Objectives of the study were to assess the degree of DK effect among the first-year medical students and to compare the associated socio-economic variables.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the interested first-year medical students of North Bengal medical college and hospital from March 2021 to April 2021 using a questionnaire. Responses were recorded in Microsoft excel 2017, analysed, and presented in form of tables and charts following principles of descriptive statistics.Results: The overall prevalence of DK effect was found to be 78.38% among the first-year medical students. Higher prevalence was observed among females (80.28%) as compared to males (75%). Students having low study hours (79.13%), no academic achievements (77.5%), and greater hours of sleep (79.74%) manifested more predisposition to DK effect.Conclusions: In our research, we have noticed a higher DK effect among the first-year medical students, which might hamper the quality of treatment and patient care in the future. Proper orientation and counselling methods are required to overcome this phenomenon.

Authors: Masthi Ramesh , Hebbar Gowri 
Published: October 2021

Background: COVID-19 vaccinations were started in India among health care workers in January, 2021. These vaccinations provide protective immunity against the infection but may not completely exclude the possibility of contracting the infection. The objective was to assess the risk of contracting COVID-19 disease following vaccination; to describe the adherence to COVID appropriate behavior by vaccinated individuals.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire. The subjects selected were health care workers, medical students and other frontline workers. The sample size was 393. The risk of COVID-19 following vaccination was assessed against various factors like age, type of vaccination, status of vaccination, pre-existing comorbidities etc.Results: Out of the 393 vaccinated subjects, 57 (14.5%) acquired COVID-19 breakthrough infection. Majority of these individuals (75.4%) experienced mild symptoms. All vaccinated individuals were protected from severe COVID-19 disease. Most vaccinated individuals continued to strictly adhere to COVID appropriate behavior i.e., masks (97.0% and 98.0%), sanitized hands (93.0% and 98.0%) and maintain social distanced (91.6% and 86%) in both fully and partially vaccinated groups following vaccination.Conclusions: One tenth of the subjects were infected with COVID-19 following vaccination. Most experienced mild symptoms and risk of severe disease was significantly reduced. There was no significant association between the type of vaccine administered and risk of infection.

Authors: Bwalya Ireen C. , Lakhani Som , Aldridge Christian 
Published: October 2021

<p><strong>Background: </strong>To date, there has been no study conducted in Zambia to determine the prevalence of mucocutaneous conditions among HIV positive patients on antiretroviral therapy.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The aim of the study was to determine the differences in cutaneous manifestations of HIV between HIV positive adult patients on antiretroviral therapy and antiretroviral naïve patients.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 143 adult HIV/AIDS patients with dermatological manifestations, and fulfilling inclusion criteria, were included. Among the 58 patients on antiretroviral therapy, the most common dermatoses were hyper-pigmentation (18.97%), fungal dermatitis (17.24%) genital herpes (8.62%), papular pruritic eruption (8.62%), oral candidiasis (8.62%) and Kaposi’s sarcoma (6.9%). The most common dermatoses among the 85 antiretroviral naive patients were oral candidiasis (34.12%), herpes Zoster (17.65%), hyper pigmentation (8.24%), eosinophillic folliculitis (7.06%), abscesses (5.88%), herpes labialis (4.71%) and Kaposi's sarcoma (4.71%). Among patients in Stage III of HIV infection, the proportion of patients with infectious dermatoses was significantly greater than the proportion of patients with non-infectious dermatoses (47.5% versus 28.6%; p=0.036).The odds of having an infectious dermatosis were 28% lower for patients on antiretroviral therapy as compared to antiretroviral naive patients (p=0.001).<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>There is a changing profile of muco-cutaneous conditions in HIV infected patients. Infectious dermatoses such as oral candidiasis and Herpes Zoster infections occur more frequently in antiretroviral naïve patients, as compared to patients on ART. Prevention of infectious dermatological conditions occurs with the use of ART.<strong></strong></p>
