Experiences of endometriosis‐associated infertility among women and their partners: A qualitative systematic review
Authors: Heng Fiona Wenyan , Shorey Shefaly 
Published: November 2021

AbstractAims and ObjectivesTo consolidate and synthesise the current available literature regarding the experiences of endometriosis‐associated infertility among women and their partners.BackgroundEndometriosis is highly associated with infertility which in turn affects many women and their partners in their prime reproductive age.DesignA qualitative systematic review and meta‐synthesis was conducted using the PRISMA checklist.MethodsSeven electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses) were searched until October 2020. Qualitative studies exploring the experiences of women and/or their partners aged 18 years and above with endometriosis‐associated infertility regardless of marital or co‐inhabitation status and sexual orientation were included. Studies examining women and/or partners without clinical diagnosis of endometriosis and studies which only focused on the psychosocial experiences of endometriosis were excluded. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program checklist was used to conduct quality appraisal while the Sandelowski and Barroso's two‐step approach was used to meta‐summarise and meta‐synthesise the data from the included studies.ResultsThirteen studies were included. Five themes (1) Emotional response to the diagnosis, (2) Influence on family planning, (3) Desperation to gradual acceptance, (4) Revision of expected life trajectories and (5) Altered dynamics within the couple unit were derived.ConclusionEndometriosis causes great psychological distress among women and their partners. Family planning decisions were especially challenging to make for the couples. Unsuccessful attempts at conceiving were extremely distressing but some couples eventually accepted their situation, with some opting for hysterectomy for health reasons.Relevance to clinical practiceCurrent findings highlight the need for psychosocial support, in‐depth fertility counselling and couple‐based therapies to support the women with endometriosis and their partners.

AbstractIn China, the prevalence of undernutrition among children under 5 years of age has declined significantly during recent decades. However, noticeable gaps exist between rural and urban areas. Since 2012, a government‐funded nutrition programme, Ying Yang Bao (YYB; soybean powder‐based iron‐rich supplement) programme, has been implemented in poor rural areas to decrease the risk of developing anaemia among children aged 6–23 months, but there are still inadequate health care awareness, feeding knowledge and skills among caregivers. From June 2018 to December 2020, a child health counselling intervention was delivered through a home visit based on the YYB programme in Liangshan. Child health messages were given by trained village child health assistants while distributing YYB. Surveys were conducted before and after the intervention to analyse changes in child health check‐up frequency, complementary feeding practice and prevalence of undernutrition. After the intervention, the proportion of children who had regular health check‐ups, who were vaccinated and who met the minimum YYB consumption significantly increased from 26.0%, 81.6%, and 67.8% to 59.7%, 95.0%, and 79.2%. Increased rates of IYCF indicators (introduction of solid, semisolid, or soft foods, minimum dietary diversity and consumption of iron‐rich or iron‐fortified foods) were observed after the intervention. The prevalence of stunting, underweight, wasting, and anaemia significantly decreased from 26.3% to 10.8%, 13.4% to 8.7%, 14.0% to 10.5%, and 52.1% to 43.9%. This intervention can be well integrated into the YYB programme with less additional resources. Children in resource‐limited areas will benefit more from a comprehensive nutritional package, including food supplements and child health education.

Published: November 2021

AbstractWe used a data set with n = 1,603 learners of foreign languages (FL) to develop and validate the short form of the Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale (S‐FLES). The data was split into 2 groups, and we used the first sample to develop the short‐form measure. A 3‐factor hierarchical model of foreign language enjoyment (FLE) was uncovered, with FLE as a higher‐order factor and with teacher appreciation, personal enjoyment, and social enjoyment as 3 lower‐order factors. We selected 3 items for each of the 3 lower‐order factors of the S‐FLES. The proposed 9‐item S‐FLES was validated in the second sample, and the fit statistics for the factor structure indicated close fit. Further evidence was found to support the internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the S‐FLES. The S‐FLES provides a valid and reliable short‐form measure of FLE, which can easily be included in any battery of assessments examining individual differences in FL learning.

ObjectiveTo describe spinal osteotomy in lateral position, which might be a new strategy for correcting thoracolumbar kyphotic deformity combined with severe hip flexion contracture, and to present two cases in which this method was successfully performed.MethodsSpinal osteotomies in lateral position were performed in two patients with severe thoracolumbar kyphosis combined with hip flexion contracture, which was not suitable for operation in the prone position. Case 1: a 33‐year‐old female AS patient still had severe hip flexion contracture due to poor rehabilitation after total hip replacement (THR). The range of movement of the hip was only about 15° in right and 10° in left. Pre‐operativethoracic kyphosis (TK), thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), lumbar lordosis (LL), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were 52.4°, 49.1°, 42.7°, and 315 mm, respectively. Pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) at L3 was performed in the lateral position. The eggshell procedure was used during osteotomy. Case 2: a 45‐year‐old male AS patient presented coexisting rigid thoracolumbar kyphosis and hip flexion contracture. The range of movement of the hip was only about 20° in right and 25° in left. Pre‐operativeTK, TLK, LL and SVA were 34.9°, 66.8°, 58.8° and 290.8 mm, respectively. PSO at L2 was performed in lateral position. The eggshell procedure was also used.ResultsSagittal malalignments of both patients were greatly improved. For case 1, the total operation time was 5.5 h. The blood loss was 1500 mL and the amount of allogeneic blood transfusion was 1580 mL during the operation. SVA was reduced to 127 mm and LL decreased from preoperative 42.7° to −28.4°. The correction angle through L3 was 34.7° and the correction angle through the osteotomy segment was 62.9°. For case 2, the duration of surgery was 6.5 h. The operative blood loss was 2000 mL and the total amount of blood transfusion was 2020 mL. SVA was reduced to 209.8 mm and LL decreased from preoperative 58.8° to 9.2°.The correction angle through L2 was 37.1° and the correction angle through the osteotomy segment was 55°. No intra‐operative or post‐operative complications were observed. Six months after PSO, case 1 had good posture for standing and sitting. The case 2 underwent bilateral THRs nine months after PSO.ConclusionPSO could be performed in the lateral position successfully. For AS patients who cannot be placed in the prone position due to coexisting severe thoracolumbar kyphosis and hip flexion contracture, performing spinal osteotomy in the lateral position as the first step is an alternative.
Making Populations for Deportation: Bureaucratic Knowledge Practices Inside a European Deportation Unit
Authors: Wissink Lieke M. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis article explores how people are made deportable through bureaucratic practices within European migration infrastructures. Drawing on months of ethnographic fieldwork in a deportation unit, the article focuses on the daily work of file practices. Bridging scholarship on street‐level bureaucrats and the materiality of paperwork, it traces how deportation files move along procedural trajectories, among case workers, databases, police, whiteboards, quota, subunits, embassies, and airlines. This shows how the relations gathered in file practices mobilize categories of populations, for example racialized or gendered. The research elaborates that the deportable subject is formed in a constellation of various populations, paradoxically given the legal call to individualize all deportees. Moreover, the populations themselves need to be made in file practices, too, unfolding a dual bureaucratic knowledge practice that shows the populations that are demarcated by state deportations to be intrinsically situated.

Published: November 2021

AbstractThe transition to Agriculture 4.0 creates new responsibilities for farm advisors and initiates changes to the professional trajectories. In this work, following a mixed research design, we examine how Greek advisors experience the transition to and anticipate the future of Agriculture 4.0. We also aim at identifying what elements they are changing in their professional identities to respond to the challenges associated with Agriculture 4.0, which are the new responsibility‐related competency needs that this transition generates, and how conceptions of the future of farming impact upon these needs. Our findings suggest that the transition to Agriculture 4.0 urges the emergence of a new culture, in which data and technology are considered more reliable than human advice, and creates new responsibility gaps. To cope with these changes, advisors add new roles in their professional identities, emphasising the principle of beneficence and paying limited attention to the societal externalities of transition. Advisors view Agriculture 4.0 as a threat or disruption more than as evolution or promise. In parallel, they prioritise different sets of competencies needed to responsibly facilitate agricultural digitalisation, depending on how they grasp the future of Agriculture 4.0.

AbstractSpatial modeling of migration and the identification of the effective parameters are imperative for planning and managing demographic, economic, social, and environmental changes on various geographical scales. The recent climate change stressors as well as inequality in terms of education and life quality have triggered internal mass migrations in Iran, causing pressure on housing, the job market, and potential slums around large cities. This study proposes a new approach to modeling migration patterns in Iran based on multi‐criteria decision analysis. For this purpose, a total of 23 individual criteria embedded within four criteria groups (economic, socio‐cultural, welfare, and environmental) affecting national migration were used. The analytic hierarchy process was employed to determine weights for the input factors and the weighted linear combination (WLC) model was used for the integration of criteria, based on which maps of migration potential were produced. The model applied was evaluated based on the correlation coefficient between migration potential values obtained from the WLC model and the actual net migration rate. Among the input individual criteria, unemployment, higher education centers, number of physicians, and dust storms were found to influence national migration. Furthermore, our findings reveal that the potential for migration across Iranian provinces is heterogeneous, with the spatial potential for emigration being the highest and lowest in the border and central provinces, respectively. The correlation coefficient calculated between outputs from the WLC model and the net migration rate from 2011 to 2016, was .81, indicating the relatively high performance of the proposed model in producing a migration spatial potential map. Our proposed approach, along with the results achieved, can be useful to decision‐makers and planners in designing data‐driven policies against inequality‐ and climate‐induced stressors.

Published: November 2021

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesTransfusion is one of the most performed medical procedures. Wrong indications are common and are probably related to the scarcity of transfusion teaching during medical education. The development of a new way to improve transfusion education is paramount. Social media has the potential to reach larger audiences for rapid communication of medical content. The use of social media for transfusion education in Brazil has not been published. The aim of this article is to describe a new tool to improve transfusion learning.Materials and MethodsEvidence‐based cards were created. Initially, these cards were sent by WhatsApp. Later, Instagram and Facebook pages were created. EducaSangue, as this e‐learning project was called, is a tool for the spreading of transfusion knowledge that permits the exchange of experiences.ResultsBy April 2021, Facebook and Instagram pages had 8300 and 5100 followers, respectively. Cards about single red blood cell (RBC) unit, alternatives to transfusion, transfusion reactions and pre‐transfusion tests were published. Doctors and other health professionals follow EducaSangue. RBC transfusions reduced in Ceara and single‐unit RBC increased by 28%, although not statistically significant. In Brazil, the minority of medical schools have transfusion as a discipline. The scarcity of transfusion education is related to the poorer care of the patient. Technological innovation has been used for educational changes and is an alternative to formal education.ConclusionSocial media is an interesting tool to provide quality to medical services, since they can reach a broader public, especially where personal contact is difficult.
A New Method for Estimating Bubble Diameter at Different Gravity Levels for Nucleate Pool Boiling

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Nucleate boiling has significant applications in earth gravity (in industrial cooling applications) and microgravity conditions (in space exploration, specifically in making space applications more compact). However, the effect of gravity on the growth rate and bubble size is not yet well understood. We perform numerical simulations of nucleate boiling using an adaptive moment-of-fluid (MoF) method for a single vapor bubble (water or Perfluoro-n-hexane) in saturated liquid for different gravity levels. Results concerning the growth rate of the bubble, specifically the departure diameter and departure time, have been provided. The MoF method has been first validated by comparing results with a theoretical solution of vapor bubble growth in superheated liquid without any heat-transfer from the wall. Next, bubble growth rate, bubble shape, and heat transfer results under earth gravity, reduced gravity, and microgravity conditions are reported, and they are in good agreement with experiments. Finally, a new method is proposed for estimating the bubble diameter at different gravity levels. This method is based on an analysis of empirical data at different gravity values and using power-series curve fitting to obtain a generalized bubble growth curve irrespective of the gravity value. This method is shown to provide a good estimate of the bubble diameter for a specific gravity value and time.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Friction dampers are one of the most common secondary structures utilized to alleviate excessive vibration amplitudes in turbomachinery applications. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of the turbine bladed disks coupled with one of the special damper designs, the so-called Midspan Dampers (MSDs) that is commonly used in steam turbines of Baker Hughes Company, is thoroughly studied. Friction between the blade and the damper is modeled through a large number of contact nodes by using two-dimensional contact elements with a variable normal load. In the solution procedure, the coupled static/dynamic Harmonic Balance approach is utilized for the first time in the assessment of the dissipation capability of MSDs, computationally shown by predicting the forced response levels of the system at different resonances. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the nonlinear dynamic response is non-unique and it may vary considerably even if all the user-controlled inputs are kept identical. This phenomenon is a novel observation for MSDs, and it is explained by an uncertainty present in the contact forces. Contact conditions corresponding to multiple responses are also investigated to unveil the different kinematics of the damper under the same nominal conditions.
Tuning of Friction Oscillation Amplitude in Halloysite, Montmorillonite, and Wollastonite Filled Friction Composites: Load, Speed, and Temperature Sensitivity
Authors: Saha Debarghya , Satapathy Bhabani K. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The influence of clay mineral silicate types, such as halloysite, montmorillonite, and wollastonite with tubular, plate like, and acicular morphologies respectively, on frictional oscillation of composite materials has been evaluated on chase-type dynamometer and optimized following the combination of Taguchi’s L9 design of experiment and regression analysis approaches. The coefficient of friction of ∼0.35–0.45 and cumulative wear at &lt;10% remained well within the acceptable range. The optimal tuning of friction oscillation to reduce braking-induced noise and vibration propensity has been achieved by montmorillonite clay with platelet-type morphology or by combination of MgO and wollastonite clay with acicular morphology. The extent of Fe- content in wear debris close to ∼80% on the composite surface led to an optimal level of friction oscillation amplitude (Aamp). The hierarchical ranking of the clay-based composites by technique for an order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS)-based operation research approach leads to the understanding of design ideology optimization for composites to ensure minimal friction oscillations.

Published: November 2021

ObjectiveAutomatic control (SPOC) of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), based on continuous analysis of pulse oximeter saturation (SpO2), improves the proportion of time preterm infants spend within a specified SpO2-target range (Target%). We evaluated if a revised SPOC algorithm (SPOCnew, including an upper limit for FiO2) compared to both routine manual control (RMC) and the previously tested algorithm (SPOCold, unrestricted maximum FiO2) increases Target%, and evaluated the effect of the pulse oximeter’s averaging time on controlling the SpO2 signal during SPOC periods.DesignUnblinded, randomised controlled crossover study comparing 2 SPOC algorithms and 2 SpO2 averaging times in random order: 12 hours SPOCnew and 12 hours SPOCold (averaging time 2 s or 8 s for 6 hours each) were compared with 6-hour RMC. A generated list of random numbers was used for allocation sequence.SettingUniversity-affiliated tertiary neonatal intensive care unit, GermanyPatientsTwenty-four infants on non-invasive respiratory support with FiO2 >0.21 were analysed (median gestational age at birth, birth weight and age at randomisation were 25.3 weeks, 585 g and 30 days).Main outcome measureTarget%.ResultsMean (SD) [95% CI] Target% was 56% (9) [52, 59] for RMC versus 69% (9) [65, 72] for SPOCold_2s, 70% (7) [67, 73] for SPOCnew_2s, 71% (8) [68, 74] for SPOCold_8s and 72% (8) [69, 75] for SPOCnew_8s.ConclusionsIrrespective of SpO2-averaging time, Target% was higher with both SPOC algorithms compared to RMC. Despite limiting the maximum FiO2, SPOCnew remained significantly better at maintaining SpO2 within target range compared to RMC.Trial registrationNCT03785899

Published: November 2021

IntroductionHemoglobin glycation index (HGI) is the difference between observed and predicted glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), derived from mean or fasting plasma glucose (FPG). In this secondary, exploratory analysis of data from DEVOTE, we examined: whether insulin initiation/titration affected the HGI; the relationship between baseline HGI tertile and cardiovascular and hypoglycemia risk; and the relative strengths of HGI and HbA1cin predicting these risks.Research design and methodsIn DEVOTE, a randomized, double-blind, cardiovascular outcomes trial, people with type 2 diabetes received once per day insulin degludec or insulin glargine 100 units/mL. The primary outcome was time to first occurrence of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), comprising cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or stroke; severe hypoglycemia was a secondary outcome. In these analyses, predicted HbA1cwas calculated using a linear regression equation based on DEVOTE data (HbA1c=0.01313 FPG (mg/dL) (single value)+6.17514), and the population data were grouped into HGI tertiles based on the calculated HGI values. The distributions of time to first event were compared using Kaplan–Meier curves; HRs and 95% CIs were determined by Cox regression models comparing risk of MACE and severe hypoglycemia between tertiles.ResultsChanges in HGI were observed at 12 months after insulin initiation and stabilized by 24 months for the whole cohort and insulin-naive patients. There were significant differences in MACE risk between baseline HGI tertiles; participants with high HGI were at highest risk (low vs high, HR: 0.73 (0.61 to 0.87)95% CI; moderate vs high, HR: 0.67 (0.56 to 0.81)95% CI; p<0.0001). No significant differences between HGI tertiles were observed in the risk of severe hypoglycemia (p=0.0911). With HbA1cincluded within the model, HGI no longer significantly predicted MACE.ConclusionsHigh HGI was associated with a higher risk of MACE; this finding is of uncertain significance given the association of HGI with insulin initiation and HbA1c.Trial registration numberNCT01959529.
