AbstractThe aim of this study was to compare the availability and use of digital mental health (DMH) across all World Psychiatric Association (WPA) regions (WR) and to guide future regional-tailored initiatives to upscale DMH contingent on introducing international policies, regulations, guidelines, education, and training, the WPA Working Group on Digital Psychiatry developed and disseminated a web-based survey among all 145 WPA National Psychiatric Association (NPA) members, according to official WR including (1) The Americas (WR1), (2) Europe (WR2), (3) Africa, Middle East, Central/Western Asia (WR3), and (4) Asia/Australasia (WR4). Collected data were analyzed using the Qualtrics analytic dashboard. The availability of digital tools/programs in DMH largely varies among WPA regions. In Europe and Asia/Australasia, mobile apps were the most available digital tools (respectively, 76.9% and 90.9%), followed by telemental health (respectively, 65.4% and 81.8%). Wearables, serious games, virtual/augmented reality, and chatbots represented the least commonly used tools/programs across all WR. National policies were mainly reported by Asia/Australasia (81.8%), followed by Europe (38.5%) and the Americas (27.3%). In all WR, less than 40% of NPAs reported the provision of education and training in the use of digital tools and programs in their countries. WPA regional analysis of digital needs promotes designing a roadmap to develop targeted actions to implement DMH and guide global digital upscaling of psychiatric services. Improving digital literacy and digital capacity building of the psychiatric workforce are key priorities for future digital initiatives led by the WPA across all WR.

AbstractMetal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a versatile class of porous materials with tremendous potential for various applications, including energy storage devices. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements and applications of MOFs in the field of energy storage including a brief overview of the fundamental aspects of MOFs, including their synthesis, structural diversity, and tuneable properties. MOFs have been extensively investigated for applications in advanced energy storage systems including supercapacitors. MOFs can be employed as electrode materials, separators, and catalysts, offering enhanced electrochemical performance, improved charge/discharge rates, and prolonged cycling stability. The unique tunability of MOFs allows for the rational design of tailored materials with desired properties, such as high specific capacity, excellent conductivity, and superior cycling stability. The recent developments in MOF-based electrochemical capacitors, particularly the significant progress reported in achieving high energy and power densities, are noteworthy. The exceptional charge storage capacity of MOFs, combined with their facile synthesis and scalability, makes them promising candidates for next-generation energy storage technologies. This review sheds light on the challenges and opportunities in the practical implementation of MOFs in energy storage devices and discusses strategies for enhancing the stability of MOFs in different environments, improving their electrical conductivity, and developing scalable synthesis methods. We briefly discuss perspectives and future directions, with particular focus on their research and development in the use of MOFs for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Asymmetric drought propagation and depletion of soil nutrients threaten cereal crop productivity worldwide, calling for the application of validated agronomic practices to curtail their effect on crop production. This study evaluated the effect of precision drip irrigation, biostimulant, and micronutrients application on photochemical efficiency and yield of maize.An experiment laid in a randomized complete block design with irrigation and water stress was established in 2022 and 2023 growing seasons at the experimental area of the University of Debrecen. Other treatments included T1 (non-microbial biostimulant from plant origin), T2 (zinc based chemical fertilizer), T3 (boron and molybdenum based chemical fertilizer), and T4 (control). Data was collected on steady-state fluorescence (F’), maximal fluorescence (Fm’), quantum photosynthetic yield or efficiency of photosystem II (ΦPSII or Y(II)), electron transport rate (ETR), and grain yield and yield components. Precision drip irrigation significantly optimized ΦPSII, ETR, cob weight, number of seeds per cob, weight of 1000 seeds and grain yield. The biostimulant and micronutrients optimized Fm’, ΦPSII, and ETR at VT and R2 growth stages. Regardless of the water management regime, T1, T2 and T3 seasonally optimized grain yield. Between water management regimes, biostimulant had the highest yield optimization effect under precision drip irrigation in the season with elevated water stress.Optimum photochemical efficiency and grain yield is achievable through precision drip irrigation, biostimulant, and micronutrient application. However, further research involving 2–3 application times at critical stages of maize under precision drip irrigation and/or combined application of these treatments at season specific precision drip irrigation is required.
Empowering health: exploring the vital role of facilitator organisations in supporting chronic disease patients in Assam, India
Authors: Bhuyan Hiranmoyee , Singha Seema S. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Background
The research centers on an underrated type of mediator organization namely facilitator organizations (FO) that work in the health care setting. These organizations are mediators that bridge the gap between patients (healthcare customers) and medical services. The facilitator organizations considered for the study are non-governmental organizations situated in Assam that works in align to chronic diseases, particularly cancer.

Methods
The data collection was done through organizational referrals for the study making it a snowball sampling, progressively incorporating additional contemporary entities. The study's respondents were facilitator organizations (i.e.Non-Government Organizations) actively involved in addressing chronic disease. Data were gathered from these facilitator organizations situated in Assam, India, supporting healthcare customers specifically those with cancer. Key informant interviews and semi-structured questionnaires were used for data collection, the responses were documented using a field diary and the Lovelock service model was used as a reference for the construction of the questionnaire and developing the research framework.

Results
The analysis of data shows that facilitator organisations maintain continuity in relationships, which enhances health management and outcomes for customers. The shift in cancer care towards a patient-centred approach and the crucial role of FOs in providing comprehensive and individualized care, addressing diverse patient needs thereby addressing the holistic development of the health care customer is vital. In addition, effective patient-centred communication, incorporating trust, compassion, respect and comprehensive support including mental health therapy, occupational therapy, and rehabilitation plays a crucial role in leading a normal life. `

Conclusion
The facilitator organizations dealing with Cancer have to meet a broad range of services outside the core medical service providers for their healthcare customers. These efforts contribute to the overall recovery of both the healthcare customer with cancer and their family.
Optimizing cervical cancer classification using transfer learning with deep gaussian processes and support vector machines
Authors: Ahishakiye Emmanuel , Kanobe Fredrick 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Background
Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women worldwide. Even though cervical cancer deaths have decreased significantly in Western countries, low and middle-income countries account for nearly 90% of cervical cancer deaths. While Western countries are leveraging the powers of artificial intelligence (AI) in the health sector, most countries in sub-Saharan Africa are still lagging. In Uganda, cytologists manually analyze Pap smear images for the detection of cervical cancer, a process that is highly subjective, slow, and tedious. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been used in the automated classification of cervical cancer. However, most of the MLs have overfitting limitations which limits their deployment, especially in the health sector where accurate predictions are needed.

Methods
In this study, we propose two kernel-based algorithms for automated detection of cervical cancer. These algorithms are (1) an optimized support vector machine (SVM), and (2) a deep Gaussian Process (DGP) model. The SVM model proposed uses an optimized radial basis kernel while the DGP model uses a hybrid kernel of periodic and local periodic kernel.

Results
Experimental results revealed accuracy of 100% and 99.48% for an optimized SVM model and DGP model respectively. Results on precision, recall, and F1 score were also reported.

Conclusions
The proposed models performed well on cervical cancer detection and classification, and therefore suitable for deployment. We plan to deploy our proposed models in a mobile application-based tool. The limitation of the study was the lack of access to high-performance computational resources.
Perspective: Floquet engineering topological states from effective models towards realistic materials

Published: October 2024

AbstractWith significant advances in classifying and cataloguing topological matter, the focus of topological physics has shifted towards quantum control, particularly the creation and manipulation of topological phases of matter. Floquet engineering, the concept of tailoring a system by periodic fields, offers a powerful tool to manipulate electronic properties of condensed systems, and even to create exotic non-equilibrium topological states that are impossibly present in equilibrium scenarios. In this perspective, we give a brief review of recent progress in theoretical investigations of Floquet engineering topological states from effective models towards realistic materials. We show that light irradiation can realize various desired topological states through the introduction of symmetry breaking, such as first- and higher-order Weyl fermions, quadrupole topological insulator with periodic driving and disorder, quantum anomalous Hall effects with a tunable Chern number, as well as beyond. Moreover, based on first-principles calculations and Floquet theorem, we show several realistic material candidates proposed as potential hosts for promising Floquet topological states, facilitating their verification in experiments. We believe that our perspective on Floquet engineering of topological states will advance further studies of rich exotic light-induced phenomena in condensed matter physics.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe Bay of Bengal has been at the heart of human civilisation and trade for many centuries. Accordingly, this oceanic space has seen influx of people from around the world including European traders who plundered natural wealth of this region for many years. Unabated exploitation of natural resources has been the primary reason for deterioration of environment of this part of the world. To add to this, supporting a growing population through unsustainable anthropogenic activities for decades is considered a primary cause for deterioration of marine life, habitats, coastal and marine ecosystems and numerous ocean ecosystem services of this oceanic space. Since the health of the oceanic space is critical for survival of life of Earth, a detailed study of the impacts of a growing population on the coastal environment of the Bay is considered important. Unfortunately, since the anthropogenic activities causing this deterioration are numerous, they cannot be covered in one paper. Hence, only a select few critical anthropogenic activities causing coastal erosion, resource degradation, and marine pollution are being analysed here. The study shows that as a result of increasing population, terrestrial activities such as increasing built up area, industries, land use activities, fisheries and aquaculture, and construction of shore protection structures have resulted in reduced coastal vegetation and increased pollution of the ocean. As a result the coastal landscape is witnessing increased coastal erosion, coastal flooding and inundation, loss of vegetation and faunal communities especially fishes. While local initiatives and projects reflect a positive commitment to address resource degradation and to create resilient coastal ecosystems, these efforts need to be transformed into achievements by dedicated and nuanced involvement of all stakeholders, especially the public, for the desired results.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Background
Immunochemotherapy has demonstrated a promising efficacy for a variety of B-cell lymphoma but has limited efficacy for Epstein–Barr virus-positive (EBV +) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is refractory or relapsed to conventional chemotherapy regimens. Considering higher programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in the subset of patients with DLBCL with positive EBV, we speculated that PD-1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy may be an alternative regimen in patients with refractory/relapsed EBV + DLBCL.

Methods
This retrospective study included six adult patients diagnosed with refractory EBV + DLBCL resistant to first-line immunochemotherapy regimens (R-CHOP). These patients received PD-1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy as second-line treatment.

Results
The final analysis included six patients (four men and two women (median age, 50 years; range, 39–83 years)). Four patients were diagnosed with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) + DLBCL, and two had DLBCL associated with chronic inflammation. Over a median follow-up of 20 months (range, 2–31 months), the objective response rate was 83% (5/6) and the complete remission rate was 67% (4/6). No severe immune-related adverse reactions occurred, and only a mild rash was reported, which did not necessitate the discontinuation of therapy.

Conclusion
The combination of PD-1 inhibitors and chemotherapy offers promising results as a second-line treatment for patients with refractory EBV + DLBCL that is resistant to first-line immunochemotherapy regimens. These preliminary findings warrant further investigation in larger clinical trials to validate the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic approach.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT:

Background:
Self-guided Internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) for migraine interventions could improve access to care, but there is poor evidence of their efficacy.

Methods:
A three-arm randomized controlled trial compared: iCBT focused on psychoeducation, self-monitoring and skills training (SPHERE), iCBT focused on identifying and managing personal headache triggers (PRISM) and a waitlist control. The primary treatment outcome was a ≥ 50% reduction in monthly headache days at 4 months post-randomization.

Results:
428 participants were randomized (mean age = 30.1). 240 participants (56.2%) provided outcome data at 4 months. Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis with missing data imputed demonstrated that the proportion of responders with a ≥ 50% reduction was similar between combined iCBTs and waitlist (48.5/285, 17% vs. 16.6/143, 11.6%, p = 0.20), but analysis of completers showed both iCBT programs to be superior to the waitlist (24/108, 22.2% vs. 13/113, 11.5%, p = 0.047). ITT analysis with missing data imputed showed no difference between the two iCBTs (SPHERE: 24.8/143, 17.3% vs. PRISM: 23.7/142, 16.7%, p = 0.99). Uptake rates of the iCBTs were high (76.9% and 81.69% logged in at least once into SPHERE and PRISM, respectively), but adherence was low (out of those who logged in at least once, 19.01% [21/110] completed at least 50% modules in SPHERE and 7.76% [9/116] set a goal for trying out a given trigger-specific recommendation in PRISM). Acceptability ratings were intermediate.

Conclusions:
Self-guided iCBTs were not found to be superior in our primary ITT analysis. Low adherence could explain the lack of effects as completer analysis showed effects for both interventions. Enhancement of adherence should be a focus of future research.

Emergency Nurses Knowledge, Attitude and Practices Regarding Disaster Preparedness and Management in Emergency Departments in the Northern Division, The Republic of Fiji
Authors: Prasad Ajnesh Avinit , Brown Diane , Singh Keshni 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Since the adoption of the Hyogo Framework, much work has been done to mitigate the effects of disasters as adequate preparation will enable Registered emergency nurses (ENs) to mitigate the negative consequences of disasters.

Objective
To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of ENs in the northern division of Fiji (ND) toward disaster preparedness and management.

Method
A quantitative, cross-sectional study design using a self-administered questionnaire queried 61 ENs working in Emergency Departments (ED) in divisional, sub-divisional hospitals and health centers in the ND.

Results
A low proportion (23%) of these ENs have attended disaster preparedness training from the time they started working with the employer demonstrating they are not prepared to mitigate the effects of disaster on the affected population in the ND. Though they have adequate knowledge and a positive attitude in engaging themselves towards disaster management, only 43% of these ENs were knowledgeable about appropriate policies and procedures. This study found that 72.1% have never read or seen their health disaster management policy.

Conclusion
Given the number of disasters experienced in Fiji every year, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive disaster management policy and training for ENs across the ND.
