Mapping Individual Differences on the Internet: Case Study of the Type 1 Diabetes Community
Authors: Bedford-Petersen Cianna , Weston Sara J 
Published: August 2021

Background
Social media platforms, such as Twitter, are increasingly popular among communities of people with chronic conditions, including those with type 1 diabetes (T1D). There is some evidence that social media confers emotional and health-related benefits to people with T1D, including emotional support and practical information regarding health maintenance. Research on social media has primarily relied on self-reports of web-based behavior and qualitative assessment of web-based content, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Meanwhile, recent advances in natural language processing have allowed for large-scale assessment of social media behavior.

Objective
This study attempts to document the major themes of Twitter posts using a natural language processing method to identify topics of interest in the T1D web-based community. We also seek to map social relations on Twitter as they relate to these topics of interest, to determine whether Twitter users in the T1D community post in “echo chambers,” which reflect their own topics back to them, or whether users typically see a mix of topics on the internet.

Methods
Through Twitter scraping, we gathered a data set of 691,691 tweets from 8557 accounts, spanning a date range from 2008 to 2020, which includes people with T1D, their caregivers, health practitioners, and advocates. Tweet content was analyzed for sentiment and topic, using Latent Dirichlet Allocation. We used social network analysis to examine the degree to which identified topics are siloed within specific groups or disseminated through the broader T1D web-based community.

Results
Tweets were, on average, positive in sentiment. Through topic modeling, we identified 6 broad-bandwidth topics, ranging from clinical to advocacy to daily management to emotional health, which can inform researchers and practitioners interested in the needs of people with T1D. These analyses also replicate prior work using machine learning methods to map social behavior on the internet. We extend these results through social network analysis, indicating that users are likely to see a mix of these topics discussed by the accounts they follow.

Conclusions
Twitter communities are sources of information for people with T1D and members related to that community. Topics identified reveal key concerns of the T1D community and may be useful to practitioners and researchers alike. The methods used are efficient (low cost) while providing researchers with enormous amounts of data. We provide code to facilitate the use of these methods with other populations.

This is a multi-center retrospective study of patients underwent low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Ileostomy had been done to protect low lying Colo-rectal anastomosis, closure of ileostomy had been delayed in some patients due to patient own will, surgical complications (anastomotic leak) or coarse of chemotherapy. This study aimed to find the effect of temporary ileostomy on post-operative bowel defunction which is called Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), and include; urgency, difficulty in emptying of bowel, and incontinence for feces and flatus. A total of 50 patients included in this study, the age ranges from the 19 to 80 years old with a mean age of 51.96 years. The total number of males was (33, %66). Majority of patients were overweight (21, 42%). The distance of tumors from the anal verge were less than 10 cm in (31,62%). The mean duration of fecal diversion was 7.17 months. Loop ileostomy were closed before six months in (27,54%). The mean duration of diversion of patients developed no LARS was 6.87 months which is shorter than those of developed LARS (7.31). Lower BMI patients are more prone to develop LARS, while Obese patients are more susceptible to develop major LARS. Nineteen cases developed LARS among those patient’s ileostomy closed before six months, and 15 cases developed LARS in those ileostomies closed after six months.

Published: August 2021

Fresh engine oils or engine lubricants lose some of their properties during service, engine lubricant deterioration leads to change in oil properties, which ultimately have effect on engine overall performance. Therefore, it is very important to characterize used engine lubricants at different using conditions to check the performance and ability of existing oils, which in turn protects engine parts and also designs new formulations to produce better type of engine oil or improve the existing oil. Therefore, optimizing engine oil lubricant changing time is very important for reducing environmental impact but renewing engine lubricant before it is due rises a customer’s cost. In this study, the most significant parameters such as kinematic viscosity, flash point and fire point were chosen to determine the changes and deterioration in engine oil properties. The oil samples were multigrade fully synthetic with SAE gradation 10W-30 grand ecodrive is used in 5 different passenger cars. Having information about these properties are crucial chemical and physical behaviours of engine oils and for keeping engine’s lifecycle. The test results of this work show that after 10,000 km, 10W-30 Delta NL motor oil brand (special synthetic with API SL) oil properties such as kinematic viscosity at cold start, 40 °C and 100 °C decreased 22.92%, 23.61% and 22.92% respectively. In addition, both flash point and fire point decreased 15.6% and 14.22% consecutively for the base properties, and according to the test results this type of engine oil is suitable to use for 10,000 km.

Exploring Factors Influencing Open Innovation Adoption in SMEs: The Evidence from Emerging Markets
Authors: Puriwat Wilert , Tripopsakul Suchart 
Published: August 2021

Open Innovation (OI) is among the vital innovation paradigms for assisting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to effectively implement innovation initiatives. Drawing on the concepts of organisational agility and absorptive capacity with transaction cost theory, this study’s goal is to investigate factors affecting the adoption of an Open Innovation (OI) orientation in Thai SMEs. Using data from 214 SMEs in Thailand, structural equation modelling validated the model and analysed the proposed hypotheses. The results show that organisational agility, economic and financial readiness and absorptive capacity relate positively to OI adoption and innovation performance. Organisational agility (b = 0.553) had the greatest influence on OI adoption, then economic and financial readiness (b = 0.405) and absorptive capacity (b = 0.387) followed. The results of mediation analysis also reveal that OI adoption partially mediates the effects of organisational agility and absorptive capacity on innovation performance. Our study provides a trailblazing empirical analysis of the major factors influencing SMEs’ OI adoption and performance, extending knowledge of OI adoption by SMEs in emerging economies. The paper proposes a holistic framework for examining SMEs’ OI adoption and performance, through the integration of organisational agility, absorptive capacity and transaction-cost concepts.

The impact of COVID-19 response measures on the quality of life for children in the Eastern Mediterranean region using an exposome approach: a narrative review
Authors: Haddad Nadine , Abou Naja Hala , Makris Konstantinos C. 
Published: August 2021

Background There is a consensus that children’s needs have not been sufficiently prioritized during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their right to a safe and healthy childhood has been compromised to an extent, worldwide. A comprehensive assessment of population- and individual-level changes associated with COVID-19 and its pandemic response measures could be undertaken using the human exposome concept. The exposome is defined as the totality of environmental exposures from conception onwards, including the endogenous response. The objective of this study was to conduct a narrative review using an exposome approach exploring short-term changes in the children’s exposome profile (<18 years old) associated with the COVID-19 measures implemented in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR). Methods Google Scholar, PubMed and Reliefweb databases were searched for original studies and situation reports published in English between January 1, 2020 and January 31, 2021, pertinent to the EMR countries. Publications describing a quantitative or qualitative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic measures on children were summarized using the three exposome domains: general external (policies and programs), specific external (lifestyle and environmental contaminants) and internal (intrinsic properties, metabolism, etc.). Results Out of 405 results generated from PubMed and Google Scholar and 687 reports identified from Reliefweb, a total of 16 original research articles and 36 situation reports were retained, involving 14 out of 22 EMR countries. Most publications documented the impact of COVID-19 pandemic measures on children’s general and specific external exposome domains, while few studies dealt with the internal domain (risk of stunting, malnutrition). In effect, chronic efforts by national and international programs to tackle historical EMR challenges of child protection from labor, displacement, trauma and violence, promotion of education, and eradication of pediatric malnutrition and infectious diseases seem to be at risk during the COVID-19 crisis, either due to inaction or suspension of children’s services and programs. Conclusions Regional authorities and governmental bodies are pledged to assess the impact of the wider array of COVID-19 response measures on children’s exposome profile. A prompt deployment of multi-sectoral COVID-19 recovery plans is warranted for the benefit of the children in the EMR region.

Background Accurate assignment of the gestational age of newborns is important for the identification of prematurity. The Dubowitz assessment is the gold standard among postnatal examinations used to assign gestational age, but implementation has been limited because of examination complexity and training requirements. The objective of this study was to explore factors related to teaching and implementing the Dubowitz examination that may influence its uptake in India and Malawi. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in India and Malawi during the preparation for a low-birthweight infant feeding exploratory study. Twenty trainees participated in a Dubowitz examination training workshop that occurred over two half-day sessions. Trainees completed pretraining and posttraining surveys related to their perceptions of the Dubowitz training, the examination, and factors affecting the administration of the examination in their setting. Results All survey respondents expressed confidence in their ability to perform the Dubowitz examination after the training. Less than a third expressed concerns about the time required to learn (30%) or perform the examination (25%). Eighty-five percent of trainees identified concerns related to parental perception of the examination that may inhibit implementation. Trainees averaged 14 minutes (standard deviation: 4.5 minutes) to complete the examination. More than 80% of trainee answers were within one point of the trainer for 16 of the 22 Dubowitz signs. Trainee composite scores were within ±3 weeks of the trainer for 95% of assessments based on Bland-Altman analysis. Conclusions The Dubowitz examination at birth is a method to improve identification of premature infants in the absence of prenatal dating. We found widespread acceptance for the Dubowitz assessment among participants in training workshops in India and Malawi, despite the complexity and length of the examination. The high level of trainee-trainer concordance on individual examination signs suggests that an acceptable level of competence is feasible after a short, concentrated workshop. Further investigation into barriers that hinder implementation such as negative parental perceptions is warranted.

Published: August 2021

Background Until recently, Pakistan had achieved significant milestones in polio eradication, and was close to becoming polio-free. The country has an Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) since 1978 and a Polio Eradication Initiative (PEI) since 1994. PEI and EPI need to carry out synergized activities during the last leg of polio eradication; EPI taking over the responsibility for a polio-free Pakistan. Knowing the understanding and implementation of the synergy between the two programs is important at this critical juncture. Methods We carried out a national-level exploration, comprised of 30 individual interviews and eight focus groups. The objectives were: (i) to explore the current understanding of the PEI-EPI synergy and its operationalization, especially for the zero-dose children at various levels, and (ii) to explore the context of the two programs, the synergy-related enablers and barriers, and suggestions to enhance synergy in the future. The participants included officials from various tiers along with health workers and vaccinators. Results Four themes emerged. First, “synergy” has different meanings for different stakeholders; hence variable implementation models. Second, some synergies (e.g., sharing of surveillance data by PEI) are in place while additional (e.g., transferring human resources and enhancing community engagement) can be created. Third, the EPI and the PEI have become two unequal programs because of political factors, visibility, and funding. Fourth, the situation can be helped through clear policy and operational guidelines including roles and responsibilities. Conclusions All stakeholders understand the importance of synergy. The willingness for the adoption of the interventions instituted by the PEI exists on both sides. The EPI, however, needs to enhance its capacity to absorb these interventions and improve service delivery. Given the context in which one partner has gained more political ownership, funding, and visibility than the other, the realization of the international donors, and the guidance from the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations, and Coordination are essential for ensuring the polio legacy and achieving and maintaining the status of a polio-free Pakistan.
