Published: February 2021

This paper highlights findings from the, ‘Advancing learning outcomes for transformational change (A LOT-Change), whose goal was to increase efforts towards securing the future of children living in urban informal settlements. The intervention was implemented in Korogocho and Site 2 respectively. This paper looks at the narratives from girls, boys and their parents and seeks to answer the question, “From the minds of adolescents: What has worked for them in an education intervention in the slums of Nairobi. Qualitative data comes from the qualitative component of the endline evaluation study that was collected in July and August 2018, by the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC). Findings from this study done by APHRC show that: scores in numeracy skills and literacy skills improved, improved self-confidence, which enabled girls to model the way in their schools and communities. Aspirations for school and higher education improved as girls and boys wanted to go beyond primary school. Communication improved across the board girls and boys, together with their parents. Girls and boys gained the confidence to speak up due to the knowledge gained out of the motivational talks within the leadership component. Overall, this paper reinforces the importance of young people having a voice to speak up on programs that affect their lives.

Published: February 2021

In Yogyakarta Special Region, the West Progo Dome comprises the Nanggulan Formation and Old-Andesite Formation as the oldest formations. The Nanggulan Formation is composed of sedimentary rock with a density of 2.5 g/cm3, while the Old-Andesite Formation is composed of volcanic rock with a density of 2.7 g/cm3. Dome morphology is formed by vertical endogenous energy that radiates SE-NW, NE-SW, and E-W. This study aims to describe the correlation between the hill lineaments and gravity anomaly lineaments in the Nanggulan Formation and Old-Andesian Formation. Identification of the hill lineament uses Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), while the gravity anomaly lineament uses gravity anomaly map. The standard used in the gravity survey concerning the American Society for Testing and Materials Standard (ASTM). The measurement system utilizes a looping distance of 200-350 meters. The lineaments of the hill and gravity anomaly show the same direction SE-NW. Both lineaments are calculated by fractal dimension (D) utilize the box-counting method. The result of overlaying the two lineaments' fractal dimension produces the same value and the different value. The same fractal dimension value (D=0.81-1.20) indicates whether the hill lineament and gravity anomaly lineament are correlated, while the different fractal dimension values indicate that the two lineaments are not correlated. The fractal dimension value is different due to small intrusions and faults.

Published: February 2021

Corn yoghurt is a new product that is being developed, so it needs to determine its shelf life based on its packaging. Packaging that can be used for yoghurt is a bottle of polyethene terephthalate. The purpose of this study was to identify the kinetics of quality decrease of corn yoghurt packed in polyethene terephthalate bottles and estimate its shelf-life. The stages of establishing shelf-life included determining the quality change rate during storage, selecting reaction order, calculating activation energy, determining critical points, and calculating shelf-life. Corn yoghurt was packed in a polyethene terephthalate bottle, then stored at 25°C, 30°C, and 35°C. The analysis was done every seven days, from day-0 to day-21. Parameters analyzed were lactic acid bacteria content, pH, total acid, total dissolved solids, protein, and viscosity. The results showed that corn yoghurt is still acceptable by more than 50% panelists in 21 days of storage at a temperature of 35°C. Lactic acid bacteria, total dissolved solids, and protein content decreased during storage, while the pH, total acid, and viscosity increased. Corn yoghurt packed in polyethene terephthalate and stored at 5oC, 10oC, 15oC, and 20oC have 41, 40, 39, and 38 days of shelf-life, respectively. The implication is that yoghurt-corn packed with polyethene terephthalate has a better shelf life than existing yoghurt to be applied further.

Authors: Mackey April , Petrucka Pammla 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Background: With women’s empowerment and information and communication technologies (ICTs) being the subject of global goals and discussions for many decades, there is a need for a clearer and deeper understanding about how the current gaps can be bridged. Despite ICTs having made communication and networking a possibility between and among people on a global scale, a digital divide has emerged. Research Question: To determine the global impact of information and communication technology on women’s empowerment. Methods: The authors report on a qualitative scoping review using the Arksey and O’Malley methodology. The search identified papers from ten databases, including Scopus, Embase, ABI Inform, Soc Index, Sociological Abstracts, Gender Studies, Springer Link, PsychInfo, Science Direct, and Academic Search Complete over the period of 2012-2018. Search criteria included articles that focused on women’s empowerment and utilized technologies as interventions. A total of 4481 articles were initially identified and a final total of 51 were charted and analyzed. Results: Technology played a variety of roles in supporting the development of women’s capacity and resources. Results demonstrated the use of ICT interventions in the following areas: outreach, education, lifestyle, prevention, health challenges, perceptions of barriers. However, despite this clear positive use of technology to support women in their daily lives, there was a lack of consensus regarding the definition and use of the term empowerment. The concept of empowerment was also inconsistently and poorly measured among individual studies which led to issues in measuring whether or not empowerment was achieved. Conclusions: This scoping review supports the use of current and emerging technologies to engage and empower women across a variety of contexts.
Knowledge, Attitudes and Ethical and Social Perspectives Towards Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) Among Jordanian Health Care Providers
Authors: Al-Bakri Amal G. , Akour Amal A. , Al-Delaimy Wael K. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Background: Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is a treatment modality that involves the introduction of stool from a healthy pre-screened donor into the gastrointestinal tract of a patient. It exerts its therapeutic effects by remodeling the gut microbiota and treating microbial dysbiosis-imbalance. FMT is not regulated in Jordan, and demarcating regulatory framework for FMT therapy in Jordan, an Islamic conservative country, might be faced with unique cultural, social, religious and ethical challenges. The aim is to assess knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of ethical and social issues of FMT among Jordanian healthcare professionals.Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study design was used to assess knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of ethical and social issues of FMT among 300 Jordanian healthcare professionals. Results: A large proportion (39%) thought that the safety and efficacy of this technique is limited and 29.3% thought there is no evidence to support its use. Among the choices to select to use FMT, almost all (95%) would only perform it in certain cases, if ethically justified, and 48.3% would use it due to treatment failure. And for reasons not to use it, 40% would not perform it due to concerns about medical litigation, followed by fear of infections (38 %), and lack knowledge of long safety and efficacy (31.3 %). Interestingly, all practitioners would perform this procedure through the lower gastrointestinal tract modality and the majority will protect patient’s confidentiality via double-blinding (43.3%). For a subset of participants (n=100), the cultural constrains that might affect the choice of performing FMT were to the donor's religion, and dietary intake and alcohol consumption.Conclusion: Our health care practitioners are reluctant to use the FMT modality due to religious and ethical reasons but would consider it if there was failure of other treatment and after taking into consideration many other social and ethical restrictions.
Diabetes Engagement and Activation Platform for Implementation and Effectiveness of Automated Virtual Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Education: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Sabo Roy , Robins Jo , Lutz Stacy , Kashiri Paulette , Day Teresa , Webel Benjamin , Krist Alex 
Published: February 2021

Background
Patients with type 2 diabetes require recommendations for self-management education and support.

Objective
In this study, we aim to design the Diabetes Engagement and Activation Platform (DEAP)—an automated patient education tool integrated into primary care workflow—and examine its implementation and effectiveness.

Methods
We invited patients aged 18-85 years with a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level ≥8 to participate in a randomized controlled trial comparing DEAP with usual care. DEAP modules addressing type 2 diabetes self-management education and support domains were programmed into patient portals, each with self-guided educational readings, videos, and questions. Care teams received patient summaries and were alerted to patients with low confidence or requesting additional help. HbA1c, BMI, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured.

Results
Out of the 680 patients invited to participate, 337 (49.5%) agreed and were randomized. All of the 189 intervention patients accessed the first module, and 140 patients (74.1%) accessed all 9 modules. Postmodule knowledge and confidence scores were high. Only 18 patients requested additional help from the care team. BMI was lower for intervention patients than controls at 3 months (31.7 kg/m2 vs 32.1 kg/m2; P=.04) and 6 months (32.5 kg/m2 vs 33.0 kg/m2; P=.003); improvements were even greater for intervention patients completing at least one module. There were no differences in 3- or 6-month HbA1c or blood pressure levels in the intent-to-treat analysis. However, intervention patients completing at least one module compared with controls had a better HbA1c level (7.6% vs 8.2%; P=.03) and DBP (72.3 mm Hg vs 75.9 mm Hg; P=.01) at 3 months.

Conclusions
The findings of this study concluded that a significant proportion of patients will participate in an automated virtual diabetes self-management program embedded into patient portals and health systems show promise in helping patients manage their diabetes, weight, and blood pressure.

Authors: Blease Charlotte , Torous John , Kharko Anna , DesRoches Catherine M , Harcourt Kendall , O'Neill Stephen , Salmi Liz , Wachenheim Deborah , Hägglund Maria 
Published: February 2021

Background
In a growing number of countries worldwide, clinicians are sharing mental health notes, including psychiatry and psychotherapy notes, with patients.

Objective
The aim of this study is to solicit the views of experts on provider policies and patient and clinician training or guidance in relation to open notes in mental health care.

Methods
In August 2020, we conducted a web-based survey of international experts on the practice of sharing mental health notes. Experts were identified as informaticians, clinicians, chief medical information officers, patients, and patient advocates who have extensive research knowledge about or experience of providing access to or having access to mental health notes. This study undertook a qualitative descriptive analysis of experts’ written responses and opinions (comments) to open-ended questions on training clinicians, patient guidance, and suggested policy regulations.

Results
A total of 70 of 92 (76%) experts from 6 countries responded. We identified four major themes related to opening mental health notes to patients: the need for clarity about provider policies on exemptions, providing patients with basic information about open notes, clinician training in writing mental health notes, and managing patient-clinician disagreement about mental health notes.

Conclusions
This study provides timely information on policy and training recommendations derived from a wide range of international experts on how to prepare clinicians and patients for open notes in mental health. The results of this study point to the need for further refinement of exemption policies in relation to sharing mental health notes, guidance for patients, and curricular changes for students and clinicians as well as improvements aimed at enhancing patient and clinician-friendly portal design.
Muutos psykiatristen avohoitokäyntien toteutuksessa ja johtajien kokemukset etäasiointia estävistä ja edistävistä tekijöistä COVID-19 aikakaudella

Psykiatrisia avohoidon palveluita on digitalisoitu aktiivisesti jo ennen koronavirusepidemiaa, mutta varsinkin epidemian käynnistymisen jälkeen etäasioinnin merkitys on kasvanut. Tämän poikkileikkaustutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, kuinka koronaepidemia on vaikuttanut psykiatristen avohoitokäyntien toteutusmuotoon ja kuvailla psykiatristen erikoissairaanhoidon palveluiden johtajien kokemuksia etäasioimisesta. Tutkimuksen tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää psykiatristen avohoitopalveluiden arvioinnissa sekä kehittämisessä sekä jatkotutkimuksessa.
Kyselyaineisto kerättiin osana COVID-19 tilannekuvaseurantaa sähköisellä kyselylomakkeella koronaepidemian käynnistymisen jälkeen toukokuussa 2020. Kyselyssä oli sekä strukturoituja että avoimia kysymyksiä. Kyselyyn vastasi 39 aikuispsykiatrian, nuorisopsykiatrian ja lasten psykiatrian toimialojen esimiestä ja johtajaa 19 eri sairaanhoitopiiristä. Kvantitatiiviset kysymykset avohoitokäyntien toteutusmuotojen määrästä raportoitiin prosenttiosuuksina ja avointen kysymysten vastaukset analysointiin induktiivisella sisällönanalyysillä.
Tulosten perusteella etäasioinnin suhteellinen osuus kaikista asiointitavoista kasvoi voimakkaasti koronaepidemian käynnistymisen jälkeen. Psykiatrisista avohoitokäynneistä toteutettiin puhelimitse tai etäyhteydellä tammikuussa 9% ja toukokuussa 48% (39 prosenttiyksikön kasvu). Etäasiointia haastoivat välineiden riittämättömyys ja toimimattomat ohjelmat, asiakkaiden puuttuvat laitteet, yhteydet ja tilat, etäasioinnin soveltumattomuus kaikkeen toimintaan, ammattihenkilöiden ja asiakkaiden negatiivinen asennoituminen, riittämätön osaaminen etäasioinnin käyttöön ja organisatoriset ongelmat. Etäasiointia edistivät asiakkaiden ja ammattihenkilöiden myönteinen asenne ja ilmapiiri, koronaepidemian aiheuttama tarve etäasioinnille, etäasioinnin soveltuvuus ja tuttuus psykiatrisissa avohoitopalveluissa, asiakkaiden aikaisempi tuntemus, pitkät välimatkat, toimivat etäverkostot ja ajansäästö, toimiva tekniikka, ohjelmistot ja välineet sekä riittävä tuki.
Etäasiointi on mahdollistanut epidemiatilanteessa psykiatristen avohoitopalveluiden tarjoamisen niille asiakkaille, joille etäasiointi soveltuu ja jotka kykenevät etäasiointiin. Etäasioinnin merkitys koronaepidemian aikana on ollut tärkeä, mutta etäasioinnin lisäksi on tärkeää innovoida ratkaisuja, kuinka psykiatrisia avohoitopalveluita voitaisiin toteuttaa niille asiakkaille, joille etäasiointi ei syystä tai toisesta sovellu.

A Composition and Abundance of Alien Fish Species in Inland Waters, Southern Iraq
Authors: Abdullah Abdul Hussein J. , Abdullah Sajad A. , Yaseen Ali T. 
Published: February 2021

Alien fish species have negative effects on the abundance, diversity and richness of native fish species in southern Iraq. The numbers of alien fish species are constantly increasing due to the entry of invasive species. This has resulted in shifts in the historical composition of fish community structure and scarcity of some native species which represent the keystone in the building of fish populations.
Fish samples were monthly collected from three sites in southern Iraq (Al-Chibyaish marsh, the lower parts of Euphrates River, and the northern part of Shatt Al-Arab River) from April 2017 to June 2018. A total of 14,853 individuals of fish were sampled, which represented 26 species, 24 genera and 13 families of bony fishes. Ten alien fish species were recorded, affiliated to nine genera and five families, namely Cichlidae, Cyprinidae, Heteropneustidae, Poeciliidae and Xenocyprididae. Three alien fish species dominated the abundance in the three sites; the Prussian carp Carassuis gibelio comprised 12.58%, 26.19%, and 13.84%, the Blue tilapia Oreochromis aureus formed 16.78%, 13.66%, and 18.79%, , and the Redbelly tilapia Coptodon zillii comprised 7.37%, 7.71%, and 14.66% of the total number of species in three study sites respectively. ( â€¦. )
These alien fish species created serious shifting in fish composition, diversity, richness, and abundance of native fish populations in comparison to the results of the historical survey in southern Iraq.

Authors: Białas Marcin , Maciejewski Jan , Kucharski Stanisław 
Published: February 2021

In present paper we show results of ball-on-disk wear experiment of MoS2 film deposited on Ti6Al4V substrate. The ball materials is aluminum oxide. The tests are performed for different surrounding temperature conditions: 20 oC, 200 oC and 350 oC. It is shown that depth of the wear groove increases with increasing surrounding temperature. A finite element modeling approach is next developed to mimic the experimental observations of ball-on-disk wear process. It is based on the assumption of steady state condition developed during short time scale at contact region. The steady state results can next be applied to long time scale in which wear process is numerically simulated. Model results are compared with experimentally obtained wear groove and show satisfactory agreement.
