Published: December 2024

Background
Telemedicine is increasingly used within healthcare worldwide. More is known about its efficacy in treating different conditions and its application to different contexts than about service-users’ and practitioners’ experiences or how best to support implementation.

Aims
To review adult service-users’ experiences of synchronous video consultations with nurses, allied health professionals and psychological therapists, find out how consultations impact different groups of service-users and identify requirements for their conduct at individual, organisational, regional, and national levels.

Method
CINAHL, Embase, Medline, PsycINFO Scopus were searched for papers published between 01/01/2018 and 19/03/2021. One reviewer independently reviewed citations and a second reviewed those excluded by the first, in a liberal accelerated approach. Quality assessment was undertaken using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and data were synthesised narratively.

Results
65 papers were included. Service-users’ experiences of video consultations ranged from feelings of connection to disconnection and ease of access to challenges to access. Many were excluded from video consultation services or research, for example because of lack of access to technology. Individual service-users required clear orientation and ongoing technical support, whereas staff needed support to develop technical and online-relational skills. At organisational levels, technology needed to be made available to users through equipment loan or service models such as hub-and-spoke; services required careful planning and integration within organisational systems; and security needed to be assured. Regional and national requirements related to interorganisational cooperation and developing functionality.

Conclusion
To support safe and equitable video consultation provision, we recommend: (1) providers and researchers consider how to maximise participation, for example through inclusive consent processes and eligibility criteria; (2) sharing video consultation user guides and technical support documentation; and (3) continuing professional development for practitioners, focusing on the technical and relational skills that service-users value, such as the ability to convey empathy online.
Living restricted lives ‐ Understanding the impact of isolation, social distancing and other restriction measures on older care home residents and their relatives in England during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study
Authors: Sims Sarah , Desai Amit , Harris Ruth , Rafferty Anne Marie , Hussein Shereen , Adams Richard , Rees Lindsay , Brearley Sally , Fitzpatrick Joanne M. 
Published: December 2024

Background
During the COVID-19 pandemic, care homes for older adults in England implemented isolation, social distancing and other restriction measures to help protect residents from contracting the virus. Little was known about the physical and psychological impacts that these measures would have upon residents and their relatives.

Aim
To explore the experiences of residents and their relatives of living restricted lives during the pandemic.

Methods
This qualitative study was conducted as part of a 12-month, mixed-methods, phased design. From six purposively sampled care homes in England, 17 purposively sampled residents (all older adults) and 17 purposively sampled relatives participated in an individual, on-line interview, where they discussed their experiences of the restrictive measures implemented within their care home. Interviews were audio- and video-recorded with participants’ permission and analysed using an inductive orientation to thematic analysis, with coding and theme development driven by the data content.

Results
Participants’ experiences of care home restrictions varied; their impact was influenced by the existing pattern of relationships that residents and their relatives maintained within and beyond the care home. It was further influenced by the fact that many residents and relatives were still learning how to manage their relationships in the new context of living in a care home. Social distancing measures made care homes feel less homely and denied residents, staff and relatives physical touch and other forms of non-verbal communication. Many residents expressed a broad sense of gratitude that was associated with safety and well-being beyond the pandemic. As older adults, they put the pandemic, and its associated restrictions, within the larger context of their lives.

Conclusions
Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic is paramount for governments, societies, policy makers, care home providers, care homes and their staff, residents and their families and friends, and researchers. Our study makes an important contribution as one of the first to study the impact of implementing isolation, social distancing and other restrictive measures for care home residents and their relatives in England.

Authors: Tilahun Mikias Mered , Sema Faisel Dula , Mengistie Berihun Aging , Abdulkadir Nardos Hussen , Jara Abdisa Gemedi 
Published: December 2024

Background
Color vision deficiency (CVD) cause is the difficulty distinguishing colors, which can present vocational and avocational challenges. There is a lack of data on its overall prevalence of CVD. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine the prevalence of CVD in Africa.

Methods
The protocol was registered with the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (protocol registration number: CRD42024510403). A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted via PubMed/MEDLINE/EMBASE, Google, and Google Scholar from February 2024 to May 28, 2024. The Johanna Bridges Institute quality appraisal tool was used to assess the quality of eligible articles. The pooled prevalence of CVD among Africans was estimated using a random effect model and expressed as prevalence and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals using Der Simonian-Laird weight. The I2 statistic test was used to measure heterogeneity, and subgroup analysis was performed based on country, source of population, and gender.

Result
A total of 502 initial studies were identified, and sixteen cross-sectional studies were included. The overall pooled prevalence of CVD in Africa was 2.71% (95% CI: 2.28,3.14, I2 = 72.6%, P<0.001). The prevalence among African males and females was 2.13% and 0.34%, respectively. The highest pooled prevalence was recorded in Ethiopia at 3.63% and the prevalence among primary and secondary school students was 2.96%. A funnel plot showed that all of the studies were symmetric, and the Egger test showed no publication bias.

Conclusion
The pooled prevalence of color vision deficiency in Africa was found to be 2.71%. The highest prevalence was reported in studies conducted among school-age children in Ethiopia. Establishing effective screening programs and raising public awareness are recommended as future steps.

Introduction
Physical exercise non-adherence is one of the leading risk behavioral factors for type two diabetic patients and one of the leading causes of mortality of patients worldwide. Therefore, the current study was conducted to determine the pooled prevalence and its determinants of non-adherence to physical exercise among type two diabetes adult patients in Ethiopia.

Methods
Studies were searched systematically using International databases from PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Embase, and CINAHL. The quality of articles that were searched was assessed using the New Castle Ottawa scale for a cross-sectional study design. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA version 14 and a meta-analysis was carried out using a random effect model method. Assessment of the certainty evidence’s was done by applying the GRADE method. The Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guideline was followed for reporting results. The title and the protocol of this meta-analysis were registered at the online database PROSPERO registration number CRD42023430579.

Result
From the total 1711 records screened, 7 studies with 3437 participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in this systematic review. The estimated pooled prevalence of exercise non-adherence in Ethiopia was 50.59%. Being female (OR = 1.27, 95% CI (1.82, 1.97)), primary level education (OR = 1.19, 95% CI (1.01, 1.39)) and rural residency (OR = 4.87, 95% CI (2.80, 8.48)) were significantly associated with exercise non-adherence.

Conclusion
According to papers evaluated by the GRADE assessment the certainty of evidence’s was poor. More than half of the diabetes patients had physical exercise non-adherence. Strategies such as emotional support, health education, and emphasis on rural diabetic patients can improve the problem of non-adherence.

Prediction of short- and long-term atmospheric corrosion in the changing low pollution climate for inland and coastal areas
Authors: Cai Yikun , Zhao Yu , Chen Qian , Ma Xiaobing , Hao Songhua , Zhou Kun 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper studies the impact of the changing climate on atmospheric corrosion loss in the future low pollution environment. Two climate change scenarios (SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5) are studied and they reveal a warmer environment with decreasing sulphur dioxide contamination and slightly changed relative humidity and precipitation from 2010 to 2100. As a consequence, environment corrosivity is both enhanced by increased time-of-wetness and weakened by decreased sulphur dioxide deposition rate. To consider the low pollution environment in the future changing climate, a relative error minimized short-term corrosion model and a re-scaled power-linear long-term corrosion model are proposed. Corrosion loss evaluation results show that, on the overall scale which is mainly representative of remote rural areas, first-year corrosion loss C of different metals under the two SSPs has different trends. On the regional scale of urban and marine areas with high SO2 or Cl− levels, C will decrease continuously under both SSPs for all three metals. The long-term corrosion loss will also decrease as the environment continues to be less and less corrosive.

Authors: Francis Oluwadayo Asokogene , Zaini Muhammad Abbas Ahmad 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The kinetics and thermodynamics of methylene blue adsorption from aqueous solution was studied using low-cost biomass graphite (CVDM) and graphene oxide (SGO) derived from black plum seed. The effects of pH in the range of 2.2–12.5, adsorbent dosage in the range of 25–100 mg and solution temperature in the range of 28.7–90 °C were studied. The optimum conditions were recorded at pH 4.8, dosage of 25 mg and solution temperature of 70 °C. The pseudo-second-order model demonstrated the best fit to experimental data (R
2 → 1 and SSE = 3.69), rapid rate constant (K
s = 0.0868 g/mg.min) and empirical adsorption capacity of 4.12 mg/g. The adsorption of methylene blue onto SGO increased with solution temperature to 70 °C before it decreased, suggesting a weakening of the attractive adsorbent-adsorbate forces due to collisions among methylene blue molecules.
Time-frequency and power-law noise analyzes of three GBAS solutions of a single GNSS station
Authors: Siejka Zbigniew , Kosek Wiesław 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper employs time-frequency analysis on time series with a sampling interval of 10 s of the E, N, H components of a single permanent GNSS station in Krakow which uses three different Ground-Based Augmentation Systems (GBAS). Time-frequency analysis was conducted using the Fourier transform band-pass filter, which segments the time series into frequency components. Through the examination of these coordinates and their discrepancies, it was observed that the correlation between results from different GBAS solutions is negligible. Additionally, the analysis of power-law noise in the E, N and H components reveals that the spectrum index of these time series, computed through robust estimation and a linear regression model, ranges from α = 0.90 to 1.22. This suggests their resemblance to pink noise or flicker noise.
Monitoring of networked RTK reference stations for coordinate reference system realization and maintenance – case study of the Czech Republic
Authors: Filler Vratislav , Kostelecky Jakub 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Networked Real-Time Kinematic (NRTK) is the most widely used GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) positioning technique in surveying practice due to its speed, operability and sufficient accuracy. Positioning using NRTK methods in the European Terrestrial Reference System ETRS89 obligatory coordinate system is tied to the positioning of reference stations of the RTK network. Monitoring of GNSS reference stations provides both the determination of the position of individual stations in the obligatory coordinate system and the monitoring of daily position deviations of individual stations. The application to four networks of GNSS reference stations in the Czech Republic has demonstrated the accuracy of the positioning of stations from the daily solution at the level of 1.2 mm in the horizontal components and 3.8 mm in the vertical component. This accuracy is quite suitable for NRTK methods that determine position with centimetre accuracy. At the same time, it allows to detect the behaviour of time series of coordinates of individual stations – sudden jumps, linear and periodic trends. The accuracy achieved also allows tracking geokinematic movements.
Evaluation of relative drought tolerance of grapevines by leaf fluorescence parameters

Published: December 2024

Abstract
In this article, the relationship between the fluorescence characteristics of the leaves of different grape varieties (electron transport intensity between photosystems – ETR – and variable fluorescence – Fv) and the relative water content (RWC) in the leaves was studied. It was found that the more drought-resistant the grape variety is, the slower the decrease of ETR value with RWC reduction. According to the value of Fv, we can estimate the degree of damage to the photosynthetic apparatus as a result of water deficiency, i.e., how irreversible is the damage caused by drought? According to the obtained results, when the RWC in the leaves decreases from 65% to 50–53%, the value of Fv practically does not change and ranges from 0.7 to 0.8, which indicates a stable reaction center of PS2 on work. But with a further reduction of the water content, damage to the reaction center PS2 is observed, which is indicated by the decrease of the Fv to 0.5–0.6. The value of Fv is especially reduced under red light (FVʹ). If the water stress is not removed in time, the reaction center PS2 will be irreversibly damaged. In relation to the reduction of RWC in vine leaves, the dynamics of ETR was studied. It was found that when the water content reduced by 15–20%, in drought-resistant grape varieties the ETR value decreased by 6–12%, while in less drought-resistant varieties it decreased by 30–50%. The obtained results can be used to determine the relative drought resistance of different grape varieties.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Active CaCO3(AC) was prepared via a carbonization‒wet modification process, and a PBAT/PPCU/active CaCO3 composite films (FAC) was obtained via the blown film method using AC and polybutylene adipate‒terephthalate (PBAT)/polymethyl ethylene carbonate-thermoplastic polyurethane rubber (PPCU). The influence of AC on the performance of the FAC was investigated via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetry (TG), rheological behavior, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission rate of water vapor, and tensile properties. The addition of AC significantly improved the thermostability and crystallization ability of the composite film system. With increasing addition of AC, the tensile strength and breaking elongation of the FACs both tended to increase but then decreased. Compared with F-0, FAC-20 presented the most remarkable tensile performance, with tensile strength and breaking elongation increasing by 21.83 % and 18.56 %, respectively. Furthermore, the transmission rate and permeability of water vapor of FAC-20 were reduced by 21.45 % and 38.78 %, respectively. The addition of AC improved the interfacial compatibility of the PBAT phase and the PPCU phase, which improved the complex viscosity, loss modulus, and storage modulus of the FACs.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Considering the temperature sensitivity and two-phase incompatibility of the fiber matrix interface, carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites suffer from weak interfacial bonding strength. To investigate the delamination damage and shear failure mechanism of T700/PEEK composites at varying temperatures, interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) were performed by employing micro debonding experiments and three-point bending. The results indicated that at temperatures below the glass transition, the IFSS of T700/PEEK composites was positively correlated with temperature, and the average strength recorded was 52 ± 6 MPa. When the glass transition temperature was exceeded, the bonding state between polyether ether ketone material and fiber surface became tighter, resulting in a slight increase in IFSS, reaching 60 ± 4 MPa. Further, the ILSS of T700/PEEK composites was tested, and the results indicated a negative correlation between ILSS and temperature, with a maximum ILSS of 40 ± 2 MPa observed at 23°C, and a minimum of 11 ± 1 MPa recorded at 230°C. The decline in bending strength observed with increasing temperature was attributed to the separation of the fiber and matrix interface at high temperatures, which reduced the mechanical properties of T700/PEEK composites. By conducting temperature related mechanical performance tests on T700/PEEK composite materials, the obtained test results will help researchers expand the application scenarios of this material, deepen the relationship between the temperature and its performance, and thus more quickly explore the mechanism of temperature action.
The Hard Pursuit of Optimal Vaccination Compliance in Heterogeneous Populations
Authors: Rampa Giorgio , Saraceno Margherita 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The present model focuses on how people decide to get vaccinated, based on their beliefs and costs and on the public information concerning the disease severity, that in turn depends on the vaccination coverage. This interplay between beliefs and outcomes gives rise to a dynamical learning process, whose steady state is a self-fulfilling equilibrium. Although equilibrium levels of immunization and disease severity do not depend on beliefs, even in equilibrium heterogeneous people interpret the severity/coverage relation in different ways. These differences, together with the structural parameters of the model, have important implications for the stability of the equilibrium, finally impinging on the efficacy of policies aimed at correcting the existing state. In fact, we find that when the equilibrium disease severity is too high and immunization is suboptimal, mandatory vaccination and nudging can be valid options for fighting vaccination hesitancy (while moral suasion looks less effective); in addition, some policy mixes turn out to be very effective. However, given the interaction between beliefs, learning, and policies, the wished policy goal cannot be achieved immediately with precision, due to possible instability of equilibria. This supports the idea that immunization must be encouraged by using mixes of persistent policies.
