Published: February 2021

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the characteristics of different designs of systematic reviews (SRs) registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) about COVID‐19.MethodsThe search was performed in the PROSPERO database using the strategy proposed by the database and considered only human studies. The last date of the search was April 27, 2020. Full text of all records was accessed, and data were extracted by a single researcher, which was further double‐checked by another researcher. A descriptive analysis was performed considering record characteristics using tables.ResultsWe included 564 records from which the vast majority were registered as SRs (n = 513, 91%). In general, we found poor reporting and missing or confusing information, since 84% of the records (n = 474) did not report the full search that would be adopted, 16% (n = 90) did not report clearly the databases that would be used, and 49.1% (n = 277) did not report the number of primary outcomes. The main focus of most of the records involved clinical, epidemiological, complication, and laboratory characteristics (n = 173, 30.7%) or the treatment of COVID‐19 (n = 138, 24.5%).ConclusionA large number of SRs about COVID‐19 have been conducted, and many of the assessed records were poorly reported and would be difficult to replicate. Besides, collected data points to an epidemic of redundant reviews on COVID‐19.

AbstractHigh‐P (HP) mineral parageneses are usually poorly developed within metagranitoids, as these rocks are commonly affected by fluid‐deficient conditions when experiencing a metamorphic cycle. However, since ductile shear zones can act as preferential pathways for fluids in the Earth's crust, if metagranitoids are involved in ductile shear under HP conditions, the presence of fluids during deformation can induce recrystallization and equilibration in these rocks. With this in mind, we investigate the formation and evolution of mineral assemblages in the orthogneisses of the Castagna Unit from the northern Serre Massif (Calabria, southern Italy). During Alpine tectonics, the thrusting along the Curinga–Girifalco Line juxtaposed these rocks, representative of the Hercynian intermediate crust, below the lithologies of the Hercynian lower crust. A detailed microstructural study of the orthogneisses, sampled along a progressively increasing ductile deformation gradient, revealed a variation in the mineral assemblage between the weakly deformed orthogneisses and those in the shear zone. Phase diagram calculations in the MnNCKFMASHTO system indicate that the progressive replacement of relict minerals by new, Alpine minerals in the shear zone, was related to the presence of fluids during deformation. This allowed equilibration of the sheared orthogneisses up to metamorphic peak conditions of ~0.9–1.0 GPa and ~560–590°C. Our integrated study highlights that both weakly deformed and mylonitic orthogneiss share the same peak metamorphic conditions, and that the new equilibrium mineral assemblage was stabilized in the mylonitic orthogneisses along a fluid‐conservative prograde path, where no fluid was added or lost. After metamorphic peak, the fluid was channelled towards the inner part of the shear zone, with fluid‐present conditions that were restricted to the mylonitic orthogneisses close to the tectonic contact. These mylonitic orthogneisses record cooling and exhumation to 0.6–0.7 GPa and 360–400°C, showing an overall anticlockwise P–T path. By comparing our findings with existing structural studies, we highlight that the Castagna Unit was under‐thrusted to lower‐crustal depths during the Alpine orogeny, before the re‐activation of the Curinga–Girifalco Line during the Oligocene to Miocene extensional tectonic phase, that enabled the exhumation of this unit.
User perceptions of mobile digital apps for mental health: Acceptability and usability ‐ An integrative review
Authors: Chan Amy Hai Yan , Honey Michelle L. L. 
Published: February 2021

Accessible summaryWhat is known on the subject?

Mobile mental health apps are increasingly being used by both mental health nurses to promote individual self‐managemental of mental health conditions and by consumers.

Perceptions about specific apps are known, but the overarching acceptability and usability of mental health apps in general less understood.

What the paper adds to existing knowledge?

This paper identified consumer perceptions of mobile mental health apps.

Six key areas were identified that future mobile app developers should consider to maximize consumer engagement with mental health apps.

Consumers also highlighted that apps do not replace traditional mental health nursing—rather these supplement existing care.

What are the implications for practice?

This review found that mental health apps are generally viewed positively by consumers; however, factors such as ease of use, usefulness of content and privacy need to be considered to maximise and sustain app engagement.

AbstractIntroductionThere is increasing interest in the use of mobile mental health applications (apps) to manage mental health conditions. Understanding user perceptions is key to maximise app engagement and inform how apps can be used to support mental health nursing care.AimThis integrative review explores consumers’ perceptions of mobile mental health apps to gain insight into user preferences and acceptability.MethodsThis integrative review was based on searching four databases: CINAHL, EMBASE, Medline, PsycInfo. Inclusion criteria were: (i) articles published after 2000; (ii) focused on apps for mental health disorders; (iii) explored consumers’ perception of using a mental health app. Abstracts were screened and eligible papers reviewed. Data on user perceptions were extracted and analysed thematically.ResultsSeventeen articles were identified. Overall, consumers did not feel that app use replaced traditional health care. Six themes were identified: “Helpfulness,” “Improvements/enhancements,” “Technical issues,” “Easy to use,” “Satisfaction with the app” and “Perceived issues.” Consumers indicated a preference for personalization for the app to meet individual needs.Discussion and Implications for PracticeMental health apps are generally viewed positively by consumers; however, factors such as ease of use, usefulness of content and privacy need to be considered to maximise and sustain app engagement.

Published: February 2021

AbstractThe Strait of Sicily (SoS) is a key area in the Central Mediterranean Sea characterized by high biodiversity and demersal fisheries productivity. Further, it is traditionally considered the main biogeographic boundary between the Western and Eastern basins of the Mediterranean. Due to the poor knowledge on the benthos composition and distribution in this area, we created the first inventory of megazoobenthos recorded on the trawlable soft bottoms of the North‐Western SoS. Samples were collected by bottom trawl surveys between 2003 and 2013 within a depth range of 10–800 m. Overall, 374 taxa with 358 species, belonging to Porifera, Cnidaria, Nemertea, Rotifera, Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, Sipuncula, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata and Chordata phyla, were found. In addition, the biogeographic affinity of megazoobenthos collected in the SoS to species vulnerable to trawl survey found in other zones of the Central Mediterranean was investigated. Excluding the North Adriatic and the Strait of Messina, moderate affinity values have been recorded within all the biogeographic zones. The benthos species of the North‐Western SoS presented the highest affinity with those of the North Tyrrhenian and Ligurian Sea (about 90% of species in common). However, our results show high similarity with species composition of the South‐Eastern SoS/South Ionian, North Ionian and Central Adriatic (about 80% of species in common). Our study confirms the role as biogeographic transition zone of the SoS for the Mediterranean biota. Furthermore, the lower affinity with native species of the South‐Eastern SoS and the absence of Lessepsian species suggest that the cold waters (due to the permanent up‐welling) off the southern coasts of Sicily may act as thermal barrier for regulating species exchange between the Eastern and Western basins. Some concerns about this role of the northern sector of the SoS were discussed in the light of current climate change.

Summary

Circadian clock rhythms are shown to be intertwined with crop adaptation. To realize the adaptive value of changes in these rhythms under crop domestication and improvement, there is a need to compare the genetics of clock and yield traits.

We compared circadian clock rhythmicity based on Chl leaf fluorescence and transcriptomics among wild ancestors, landraces, and breeding lines of barley under optimal and high temperatures. We conducted a genome scan to identify pleiotropic loci regulating the clock and field phenotypes. We also compared the allelic diversity in wild and cultivated barley to test for selective sweeps.

We found significant loss of thermal plasticity in circadian rhythms under domestication. However, transcriptome analysis indicated that this loss was only for output genes and that temperature compensation in the core clock machinery was maintained. Drivers of the circadian clock (DOC) loci were identified via genome‐wide association study. Notably, these loci also modified growth and reproductive outputs in the field. Diversity analysis indicated selective sweep in these pleiotropic DOC loci.

These results indicate a selection against thermal clock plasticity under barley domestication and improvement and highlight the importance of identifying genes underlying for understanding the biochemical basis of crop adaptation to changing environments.

AbstractBackgroundLockdown was imposed for children for 75 days in Turkey to limit the spread of COVID‐19. During this period, children have to stay indoors, which might probably increase their exposures to indoor allergens and pollutants. Besides, reduced exposures to respiratory tract infections and outdoor pollutants might be favorable outcomes of this lockdown period. We evaluated the effects of the lockdown on house dust mite (HDM)–sensitized children with respiratory allergies.MethodsThree‐month clinical and medication data of 165 mild‐moderate asthmatic children with or without allergic rhinitis (AR), who were grouped according to their HDM sensitization status, were retrieved from patient records. Demographics, asthma control tests, nasal visual analog scores, and outdoor air quality monitoring data were used for assessments in comparisons with the same period in the previous year.ResultsEighty‐four patients had asthma, and 81 patients had asthma with AR. Sensitization to HDM was present in 61.8% of the children. Patients experienced reduced numbers of upper respiratory tract infections (P = .008) and reduced asthma exacerbations (P < .001) compared with the same period in the previous year. Asthma control tests were significantly improved (P < .001), and cumulative inhaled corticosteroid usages were significantly reduced (P < .001). Noteworthily, nasal symptoms were significantly worsened in HDM‐sensitized asthmatics with AR (P < .001).ConclusionsThis study highlighted that reduction in respiratory tract infections and outdoor pollution may play roles in asthma control and prevent exacerbations despite continuous indoor allergen exposure. Besides, worsening of nasal symptoms in HDM‐sensitized asthmatics with AR implies the importance of indoor avoidance measures for AR control.

AbstractBackgroundIn parallel with the increase in the number of children with life‐limiting or life‐threatening diseases, the need for and right to pediatric palliative care is also increasing. This study aimed to examine the metabolic diseases, evaluate the symptoms, and review the needs of children who were admitted to the pediatric palliative care service.MethodsFollowing the approval of the local ethics committee (18/7/2019‐107), the computer records of patients hospitalized in the pediatric palliative care service between December 1, 2018 and January 6, 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Dr Behçet Uz Children's Hospital, Pediatric Palliative Care Center is third center in Turkey. Our pediatric palliative care center has one year of experience.ResultsIn the study period, there were 101 patients who were hospitalized in the pediatric palliative care service. Eighteen patients (19.7%) diagnosed with inborn errors of metabolism were included in the study. The mean age was 3.2 ± 2.1 (0–8) years. Although it could not be shown statistically, the duration of hospitalization of patients with congenital malformation was long.ConclusionPediatric palliative care provides the best care with the control of various symptoms in neurodegenerative congenital metabolic diseases that do not have treatment or treatment, but progressive symptoms cannot be prevented.

Published: February 2021

There is an increasing need to establish populations of threatened plants in threat‐free habitat to prevent species extinction. The amount of genetic diversity in founding plants will influence whether the new population has the capacity to persist and evolve over time, and factors that influence the maintenance of genetic diversity, such as the mating systems, will also play a role in population persistence. We developed 13 nuclear microsatellite markers and used these to evaluate genetic diversity and mating system parameters of three translocated populations of two subspecies of Lambertia orbifolia, and compared these parameters to seven wild populations. Genetic diversity was maintained in the translocated population of L. orbifolia subsp. Scott River Plains, established using a single source population (Nar = 3.270 and He = 0.478 in translocated population; Nar = 3.280 and He = 0.534 in wild populations), and maintained or increased in the two admixed translocated populations of L. orbifolia subsp. orbifolia (Nar = 3.115, 3.830 and He = 0.511, 0.635 in translocated populations; Nar = 2.708 and He = 0.438 in wild populations) compared to wild populations of each subspecies. Mating system parameters were comparable between translocated and wild populations of L. orbifolia subsp. Scott River Plains indicating the likelihood of genetic diversity being maintained in future generations. However, there was increased selfing in translocated populations of L. orbifolia subsp. orbifolia, suggesting suboptimal pollination and high values for the inbreeding coefficient in these admixed populations (Fis = 0.474, 0.275), which may be an artifact of the Wahlund effect or from less fit (inbred) seedlings surviving ex situ propagation and translocation.

AbstractAimsThe purpose of this study was to determine if the number of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) trained with the Mouth Care Matters (MCM) oral health educational program had an impact on nursing facility (NF) resident oral health.Materials and methodsThree NFs participated in a cluster randomized control trial. In NF‐A: all CNAs were offered the MCM program, NF‐B: 3 CNAs were offered the MCM program, and NF‐C: Control (no CNAs were offered the MCM program). Demographic information, systemic health data, and oral health data at baseline, 3‐month, and 6‐month intervals were collected and analyzed using Kruskal‐Wallis, Wilcoxon signed‐rank and Wilcoxon rank‐sum tests. A total of 24 dentate residents participated in this study. Plaque control record scores for NF‐A were significantly reduced compared to NF‐B and NF‐C (P < .001 and P = .002 respectively) and gingival bleeding index for NF‐A were significantly reduced compared to NF‐B and NF‐C (P = .002 and P < .001 respectively).ConclusionIncreasing the number of CNA's trained in the Mouth Care Matters educational program positively impacted NF residents’ oral hygiene.

Published: February 2021

This study analyzed the associations between the 24‐hour movement behaviors composition and fitness in preschoolers and investigated predicted changes in fitness when time in active behaviors is reallocated. This cross‐sectional study was carried out with 270 preschoolers (132 boys; 3.97 ± 0.80 years‐old). Light and moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (LPA and MVPA), and sedentary behavior (SB) were verified using an accelerometer. Sleep time was obtained through interviews with parents. Components of physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness—CRF, speed‐agility, and lower‐body muscular strength) were assessed using the PREFIT Battery. To verify the association between 24‐hour movement behaviors and physical fitness, the compositional analysis was used, and for the time reallocation, the compositional isotemporal substitution analysis was used for active behaviors (LPA and MVPA). The daily composition, adjusted for body mass index, sex, and age, was significantly associated with CRF (P = .007;r2 = 0.29), speed‐agility (P < .001;r2 = 0.14), and lower‐body muscular strength (P = .01;r2 = 0.07). For CRF, the addition of MVPA, at the expense of any other behavior, was associated with significant improvements. For speed‐agility and lower‐body muscular strength, only reallocations between sleep and LPA yielded significant associations. The variation in CRF, speed‐agility, and lower‐body muscular strength was associated with the 24 hours movement composition, and reallocating 5, 10 or 15 minutes of SB or sleep for MVPA was significantly positive for CRF (P < .05). The present findings highlight the relevance of decreasing SB and increasing physical activity practice, particularly at high intensities, to promote a better CRF profile for preschoolers.
Parsing Pegasus: An Infrastructural Approach to the Relationship between Technology and Swiss Security Politics
Authors: Leander Anna 
Published: February 2021

AbstractHow do technologies matter for security politics? This article introduces the kind of arguments aninfrastructural approachwould focus its answer on. It illustrates how the approach would work by focussing on how the spyware Pegasus developed by the Israeli company NSO matters for Swiss security politics. It follows the infrastructural approach showing how and why it would tend to three things primarily: the politics of theinfrastructuresPegasus is inscribed in, the politics of the processes ofinfrastructuringthe software generates and theinfrapoliticsthat sustain and transform these processes and infrastructures. The article also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of infrastructural approaches, underlining that since they are relational, processual and radically open epistemologically and ontologically, infrastructural approaches are suitable for opening new agendas, re‐problematising and re‐imagining the politics of security technologies. They are less suited for studies premised on a fixed understanding of the politics of security technology.
Multimedia and Virtual Reality for the Control of a Multiple Wheeled Mobile Robot System
Authors: Feng Xin , Velinsky Steven A. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This paper describes the application of multimedia and virtual reality technology to a multiple wheeled mobile robot system. The system is designed for teleoperation of a variety of highway maintenance and construction tasks, such as automated highway pavement crack sealing. Each robot is tethered to a support truck through linkages, and has its own embedded controller for motion control and posture sensing. A host computer is dedicated to communicate with the robots and to provide a multimedia interface to the operator. A video camera is mounted above the robots’ workspace and live video is taken to the host computer’s video capture card which supports video overlay. The live video of the robot workspace is then overlaid on the robots’ control window and provides an augmented reality for crack detection, path planning, and robot monitoring. By mapping live video on the computer generated interactive robot animation, the operator can simply control any robot through finger motion on a touch screen. The host computer can also provide a virtual environment providing the operator with a sense that he is sitting on the robot, allowing the robot to be easily controlled with a joystick. This paper shows the manner in which fast growing and inexpensive multimedia PC technology, virtual reality concepts, and the newest programming tools like Visual C++ 4.0 and OpenGL 1.1 for Windows 95/NT can be used to build an integrated interactive monitoring and control interface allowing ease in teleoperation of a multiple robot system thus significantly improving operational performance.
1997 Status of the Form Feature Recognition Method Using Convex Decomposition
Authors: Wang Eric , Kim Yong Se 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
This paper describes the current status of our feature recognition method using a convex decomposition method called Alternating Sum of Volumes with Partitioning (ASVP). Volumetric form features are recognized from a part’s boundary representation by applying combination operations to the ASVP decomposition of the part to obtain a Form Feature Decomposition (FFD). The FFD can be post-processed to obtain application-specific feature representations; in particular, the conversion to the Negative Feature Decomposition (NFD), a machining feature representation, is described. Our domain of recognizable parts includes those having planar and cylindrical surfaces such that all cylindrical surfaces are bounded by straight edges and circular arcs, or are blending surfaces resulting from applying constant-radius blending to the part. We report the results of applying our method to the test parts for the 1997 Computers in Engineering Feature Panel Session.
