Published: May 2021

Background: The current study sought to develop a valid, reliable and unobtrusive tablet computer-based observational measure to assess engagement of people with advanced dementia. The Video Analysis Scale of Engagement (VASE) was designed to enable the rating of moment-by-moment changes in engagement during an activity, which would be useful for both future research and current residential care.Methods: An initial version of the VASE was tested. Face validity and content validity were assessed to validate an operational definition of engagement and develop an acceptable protocol for the scale. Thirty-seven non-professional and professional volunteers were recruited to view and rate level of engagement in music activities using the VASE.Results: An inter-class coefficient (ICC) test gave a high level of rating agreement across professionals and non-professionals. However, the ICC results of within-professionals were mixed. Linear mixed modelling suggested that the types of interventions (active or passive music listening), the particular intervention session being rated, time period of video and the age of raters could affect the ratings.Conclusions: Results suggested that raters used the VASE in a dynamic fashion and that the measure was able to distinguish between interventions. Further investigation and adjustments are warranted for this to be considered a valid and reliable scale in the measurement of engagement of people with advanced dementia in a residential care setting.
Public trust and genomic medicine in Canada and the UK
Authors: Savić-Kallesøe Sarah , Middleton Anna , Milne Richard 
Published: May 2021

Background: Genomic medicine could improve precise risk stratification, early prevention, and personalised treatment across a broad spectrum of disease. As this reality approaches, questions on the importance of public trust arise. The success of genomic medicine initiatives is influenced by the public’s trust and willingness to engage. Specific social actors influential in the public's trust have been identified by the “Your DNA, Your Say” study, including doctors, researchers, and governments. This paper aims to identify and examine which specific social actors, if any, in Canada and the United Kingdom (UK) are the most trustworthy and influential to engage the public in genomic medicine. Methods: Using data from the ‘Your DNA, Your Say’ study, logistic regression models and Pearson’s chi-square tests were conducted to explore trust in social actors across Canada and the UK. Results: The results demonstrate Canada and the UK significantly differ in public trust and willingness to donate. Non-profit researchers, domestic doctors, and personal doctors were identified to be the most influential and trustworthy social actors in Canada and the UK. Conclusions: The comparative results indicate that both countries would benefit from engaging the public through doctors and non-profit researchers. The UK could additionally support public trust by engaging with the public through the National Health Service. However, the results suggest that whilst public trust is significant, it may be neither necessary nor sufficient in influencing willingness to donate. Future research could do well to investigate how the importance of public trust compares in countries with lower public trust.
Postpartum depression and anxiety among mothers of preterm neonates in western Kenya
Authors: Sakari Philip Simiyu , Mwanzia Lydia , Chesire Irene 
Published: May 2021

Background/Aims Taking care of a preterm neonate can be stressful for a mother, given the baby's illness and lower survival rate. As medical needs for the preterm neonate take centre stage in the newborn unit, the mother and her role can be overshadowed, resulting in neglect of her physical and emotional needs. This may lead to postpartum depression and anxiety; if undetected and untreated, this can result in maternal dysfunction, which can also adversely affect the neonate. However, few studies have been carried out on the effect of preterm neonates on mothers' psychological state in low-resource countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and sociodemographic characteristics associated with postpartum depression and anxiety in mothers of preterm neonates, and to determine mothers' perceptions towards nurses' support. Methods This was a hospital-based cross-sectional descriptive study involving 262 mothers with preterm neonates, who were selected using systematic random sampling. Data were collected using the self-reporting Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Beck's Anxiety Inventory and the Nurse Parent Support Tool. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 24.0. Descriptive statistics used included frequencies and percentages, while inferential statistics to determine associations between categorical variables involved the chi-square test. P≤0.05 was considered significant. Results The prevalence of postpartum depression and anxiety was 65.5% and 63.3% respectively. A significant association existed between depression and marital status (P=0.049) and also level of education (P=0.035). There was also a significant association between anxiety and age (P=0.049), education (P=0.009) and occupation (P=012). Almost a third (31.7%) of participants indicated that nurses were not helpful in allaying their worries and 28.2% reported that nurses were not concerned regarding their feeding and sleep. Conclusions The prevalence of postpartum depression and anxiety was higher among single, young or teenage mothers with a low level of education and low socioeconomic status. Unfortunately, it seemed that the mental wellbeing of mothers with preterm babies was not a priority for most nurses attending to their babies. The authors recommend that nurses' roles are expanded to include screening for postpartum depression and anxiety, and providing psychosocial support to mothers of preterm neonates who are hospitalised in the newborn unit.
The non-profit paradox after the 2008 financial crisis: How to survive within a changing scenario
Authors: Busso Sandro , Dagnes Joselle 
Published: May 2021

The chapter explores the Italian market for social welfare, focusing on the key features and main changes of the nonprofit sector within this field. The nonprofit sector has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in welfare systems over the last thirty years for economic and political factors, but its growth and marketization has provoked tension and threatened its potential in advancing citizenship. Tensions have been further exacerbated by the economic crisis: resource constraints and the growing uncertainties have indeed endangered citizens’ rights, triggering workers’ exploitation and value extraction. These effects are common across the market and the nonprofits are not immune. Specifically, the model of value extraction that has spread in this sector is based on low intensity mechanisms rather than on large scale “predatory” strategies, and on a prevalent redistribution, rather than appropriation, of the economic value. Despite its lower visibility, we show that such a model has profound implications for citizenship, affecting the quality of service offered and lowering labour standards and rights for workers.
The Spreading of the Corporate System and its Consequences
Authors: Robé Jean-Philippe 
Published: May 2021

Business corporations developed in the industrializing world in a legal environment which was initially hostile to them. Incorporation was transformed from a privilege into a right. The development of corporate law has led to the advent of Financial Capitalism, in which two forms of capital exist in connection with any given bundle of assets and contracts There is first the capital and contracts required by the productive activity; and there is then the financial capital represented by the financial instruments issued by the corporation. The Chapter provides an example of the evolving relation between firms and States in a globalized economy. The model of a firm adapting its corporate structure to the opportunities offered by the evolving legal rules in an international economy is used. It leads to a reassessment of the necessity to differentiate firms from corporations and to insist on the importance of the rules of corporate governance. The opportunities offered to multinational firms by the international economy combined with an improper mandate to maximize short-term shareholder value, and the biased accounting rules accompanying it, lead to the accounting acknowledgement of « shareholder value creation » even when no real « value » is being created.

Incidence and time trends of herpes zoster among patients with head and neck cancer who did and did not undergo radiotherapy: A population-based cohort study
Authors: Lee Peng-Yi , Lai Jung-Nien , Chiu Lu-Ting , Wei Yu-Ting 
Published: May 2021

Purpose
This study aimed to determine the risk and time trends of herpes zoster among patients with head and neck cancer, with or without radiotherapy.

Methods
A total of 2160 patients with head and neck cancer were enrolled. The radiotherapy and non- radiotherapy cohorts were frequency-matched at a 1:1 ratio according to sex, age, and index date. Moreover, 1080 matched non-cancer individuals were considered normal controls. Data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database and Cancer Registry. The primary end point was the incidence of herpes zoster, and the adjusted confounding factors were age, sex, comorbidities, oncological surgery, and chemotherapy.

Results
The incidence of herpes zoster was higher in cancer patients than in non-cancer individuals but did not significantly differ (13.67 vs. 8.06 per 1,000 person-years, p = 0.18). The risk of herpes zoster was significantly higher in the radiotherapy cohort than in the non-radiotherapy cohort (18.55 vs. 9.06 per 1,000 person-years, p = 0.03). The 5-year incidence rates in the radiotherapy and non-radiotherapy cohorts were 8.9% and 5%, respectively (p < 0.0001). Survival analysis indicated there was no immortal time bias. The time trends in the radiotherapy cohort persistently showed a high risk within the first 2 years, which decreased thereafter. Only patients with comorbid rheumatoid arthritis showed a significantly high risk of herpes zoster (p = 0.02). Oncological surgery and chemotherapy had no impact on the development of herpes zoster.

Conclusions
This nationwide population-based study showed that patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiotherapy are at an increased risk of herpes zoster. Health care professionals should pay more attention to this vulnerable group to improve their quality of life.
Long-time behavior of solutions for a system of N-coupled nonlinear dissipative half-wave equations
Authors: Alouini Brahim 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
In the current paper, we consider a system of N-coupled weakly
dissipative fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The
well-posedness of the initial value problem is established by a
refined analysis based on a limiting argument as well as the study
of the asymptotic dynamics of the solutions. This asymptotic
behavior is described by the existence of a compact global
attractor in the appropriate energy space.
Culpables impunes y narradores no fiables: tres cold cases en Cartucho, Crónica de una muerte anunciada y La virgen de los sicarios
Authors: Vanden Berghe Kristine 
Published: May 2021

Resumen
se pone a prueba en el ámbito hispanoamericano la idea de Marc Escola de que, en la literatura, andan impunes numerosos delincuentes. Basándonos en el esquema propuesto por Theresa Heyd sobre el narrador no fiable investigamos en torno a los crímenes relatados en Cartucho, Crónica de una muerte anunciada y La virgen de los sicarios. Estas pesquisas sugieren que los narradores – todos dobles de sus autores – tienen interés en dar una versión poco transparente de los hechos. En los tres textos, la coyuntura histórica contribuye a escamotear el carácter privado y pasional de los crímenes tras la fachada de una violencia sistémica y pública.
Cross-evaluation of social mining for classification of depressed online personas
Authors: Trifan Alina , Oliveira José Luis 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
With the continuous increase in the use of social networks, social mining is steadily becoming a powerful component of digital phenotyping. In this paper we explore social mining for the classification of self-diagnosed depressed users of Reddit as social network. We conduct a cross evaluation study based on two public datasets in order to understand the impact of transfer learning when the data source is virtually the same. We further complement these results with an experiment of transfer learning in post-partum depression classification, using a corpus we have collected for the matter. Our findings show that transfer learning in social mining might still be at an early stage in computational research and we thoroughly discuss its implications.
Progress toward blue-emitting (460–475 nm) nanomaterials in display applications
Authors: Prodanov Maksym F. , Vashchenko Valerii V. , Srivastava Abhishek K. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Recently, quantum dots (QD) and quantum rods (QRs) have become extremely popular in displays and lighting applications. Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) equipped with quantum dot enhancement films (QDEFs) offer extended color saturation, increasing said saturation from 60 to 70% to more than 100% of the NTSC color gamut. A plethora of research dealing with EL/PL properties and the device-based performance of these materials has been published. The tunable emission wavelength and the narrow emission bandwidth are the key features of quantum dots and perovskite nanoparticles that primarily depend on the nanoparticle size and material composition. QRs, in contrast, have a core–shell structure and emit polarized light that can roughly double the efficiency of modern displays. However, blue emission for QRs, because of the large bathochromic redshift during shell growth, is a serious problem. Besides photoluminescence, electroluminescence is also important for display applications. These QD-LEDs show a lower turn ON voltage in comparison to organic LEDs, which is very important for high-resolution displays. The solution-processed narrower emission QD-LEDs have already achieved efficiency and a brightness comparable to vacuum-deposited phosphorescent organic LEDs (OLEDs). However, the blue-emitting nanoparticles and their short operational lifetime are the key obstacles in the progression of these devices. Furthermore, recently the display and lighting industry are trying to reduce the short-wavelength emissions, particularly in the spectral region below 455 nm, which has a much greater impact on human ocular health and circadian rhythm. Thus, industries are aiming at blue light in the spectral range of 460–475 nm. This spectral range is very challenging for nanomaterials because of the limited choice of materials. In this review, we summarize the recent progress made in the blue-emitting nanomaterials with a different morphology and composition. This includes recent developments in low Cd materials. Both the PL and EL properties of these materials have been discussed depending on the NP’s shape and material composition. This review also aims to discuss the various device architectures employing blue-emitting NPs, any recent achievements and future challenges.

Criterion validity and discriminatory ability of the central sensitization inventory short form in individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases
Authors: Falling Carrie , Stebbings Simon , Baxter G. David , Gearry Richard B. , Mani Ramakrishnan 
Published: May 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Increased symptoms related to central sensitization have previously been reported in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, identified by the original central sensitization inventory (CSI-25). However, the recently developed CSI short form (CSI-9) may be more clinically useful. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of CSI-9 compared to the original CSI-25 in individuals with IBD. Study objectives were to investigate the criterion validity of the CSI-9 to the CSI-25, assess individual association of the CSI measures with clinical features of IBD and pain presentations, and to establish disease-specific CSI-9 and CSI-25 cut-off scores for discriminating the presence of self-reported pain in individuals with IBD.

Methods
Cross-sectional online survey was performed on adults with IBD exploring self-reported demographics, comorbidity, and clinical IBD and pain features. Criterion validity of the CSI-9 was investigated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)3,1. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) analysis was conducted to investigate the discriminative ability of both versions of CSI.

Results
Of the 320 participants, 260 reported the presence of abdominal and/or musculoskeletal pain. CSI-9 and CSI-25 demonstrated substantial agreement (ICC3,1=0.64, 95% CI [0.58, 0.69]). AUC (95% CI) indicated that CSI-9 (0.788 (0.725, 0.851), p<0.001) and CSI-25 (0.808 (0.750, 0.867), p<0.001) were able to adequately discriminate the presence of pain using cut-offs scores of ≥17 (CSI-9) and ≥40 (CSI-25). Abdominal pain severity was the only feature to differ in significant association to CSI-25 (p=0.002) compared to CSI-9 (p=0.236). All other features demonstrated significant associations to both CSI versions, except age (p=0.291 and 0.643) and IBD subtype (p=0.115 and 0.675).

Conclusions
This is the first study to explore and validate the use of CSI-9 in IBD patients. Results demonstrated concurrent validity of the CSI-9 to CSI-25, with similar significant association to multiple patient features, and a suggested cut-off value of 17 on CSI-9 to screen for individuals with pain experiences. Study findings suggest that CSI-9 is suitable to use as a brief tool in IBD patients.
Mathematical modelling of classical Graetz–Nusselt problem for axisymmetric tube and flat channel using the Carreau fluid model: a numerical benchmark study
Authors: Saeed Khan Muhammad Waris , Ali Nasir , Asghar Zeeshan 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The thermal entrance problem (also known as the classical Graetz problem) is studied for the complex rheological Carreau fluid model. The solution of two-dimensional energy equation in the form of an infinite series is obtained by employing the separation of variables method. The ensuing eigenvalue problem (S–L problem) is solved for eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions through MATLAB routine bvp5c. Numerical integration via Simpson’s rule is carried out to compute the coefficient of series solution. Current problem is also tackled by an alternative approach where numerical solution of eigenvalue problem is evaluated via the Runge–Kutta fourth order method. This problem is solved for both flat and circular confinements with two types of boundary conditions: (i) constant wall temperature and (ii) prescribed wall heat flux. The obtained results of both local and mean Nusselt numbers, fully developed temperature profile and average temperature are discussed for different values of Weissenberg number and power-law index through graphs and tables. This study is valid for typical range of Weissenberg number

Published: May 2021

Abstract
Asphalt mixtures contain several constituents, among which air void content has a significant effect on pavement performance. In this research, the impact of laboratory compaction air-void variations for asphalt mixtures was investigated on asphalt-mixture fracture energy and peak load, as two primary outcomes of the disk-shaped compact tension test. Two groups of asphalt mixtures with air void contents of 7 ± 1.0 % were selected, and comprehensive statistical analyses, such as Pearson’s correlation coefficient, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Welch’s test, and Tukey’s test, were conducted to explore any possible impacts of specimen-to-specimen air-void variation on fracture energy and peak load. Statistical analyses have been carried out on individual asphalt mixtures in groups and all asphalt mixtures together as a group, as well. Results showed that there is a weak-to-negligible relationship between air void, fracture energy, and peak load. In addition, results of the ANOVA at the significance level of 0.05 revealed that air void content does not have any significant effect on asphalt mixtures’ fracture energy and peak load, except for peak load data when all asphalt mixtures are grouped as single population. Finally, results of Tukey’s test demonstrated that in a range of 7 ± 1.0 %, air void does not have a significant effect on fracture energy at the significance level of 0.05. The findings of this study can help researchers and agencies extend the air-void variation tolerance to 1 % in asphalt mixtures with target of 7 % air void content to assess low temperature cracking resistance.
