Published: October 2024

Статья представляет аналитический обзор по теме городского здоровья на основе анализа научной литературы. Интерес к полю начался около 50 лет назад и устойчиво растет. В последние десятилетия в литературе активно обсуждаются вопросы эмпирического изучения факторов, влияющих на здоровье, городского здравоохранения, социальной справедливости и доступности медицинской помощи в городских сообществах, включая здоровье бывших заключенных и его влияние на общественное здоровье. Тематика изучения городского здоровья достаточно подвижна и всегда фокусирует свое внимание на актуальных социальных проблемах — опасных заболеваниях, доступности медицины и маргинализированных группах, занимающих особое положение в городской среде.

Published: October 2024

AbstractEpidemiological studies have established a link between air pollution and an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aims to measure the impact of T2DM related to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution by examining death rates and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2019 in the United States of America. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, we examined death and DALY rates per 100,000 populations in T2DM patients, specifically focusing on ambient particulate matter pollution (APMP) and household air pollution (HAP). We assessed average annual percentage change (AAPC) across various age and gender groups, states, and socio‐demographic index (SDI) categories. Our findings reveal a significant decline in death rates and DALYs in the United States of America over the last 30 years, with more pronounced decreases among females and older adults. Despite national progress, state‐level variations indicate complex interactions between environmental regulations, healthcare access, and socio‐economic factors. Some states, such as Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska, exhibited increased AAPC. Our study emphasizes the need for targeted policies and interventions to reduce PM2.5 exposure and further address regional disparities, ensuring continued improvement in public health outcomes.

Stadtbibliothek Magdeburg im Umbruch
Authors: Petsch Peter 
Published: October 2024

Zusammenfassung
Für die Stadtbibliothek Magdeburg waren die Zeiten nach der Wende turbulent. Einerseits musste man aufgrund der maroden Bibliotheksinfrastruktur die Chancen (z. B. Fördermittel) für die Kultur schnell nutzen, andererseits aber immer auch die Mitarbeiterschaft bei allen Neuerungen „mitnehmen“. Der eigentliche Umbruch war die Errichtung der neuen Zentralbibliothek, die allerdings mit der radikalen Verkleinerung des zu DDR-Zeiten ausgedehnten Zweigstellennetzes einherging.

Authors: Hata Toshiyuki , Koyanagi Aya , Takayoshi Riko , Miyagi Yasunari , Miyake Takahito 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objectives
To detect fetal hyaloid artery (FHA) blood flow using SlowflowHD in the first trimester.

Methods
During the 8-month period from February to September 2023, one-hundred and eighty-three trans-abdominal scans were performed for first-trimester screening in singleton pregnancies at 11–13 + 6 weeks of gestation. One-hundred and fifty-two cases were excluded from the study due to inappropriate fetal positions, excessive fetal movements, and excessive distances between the fetus and probe; thus, thirty-one fetuses (20.4 %) were examined, comprising 19 uni- and 12 bilateral orbits. One fetus with trisomy 21 was also evaluated at 12 weeks and 1 day. FHA was classified into two types based on the starting point angle (Straight, straightly diverged from ophthalmic artery; and Curved, crookedly diverged from ophthalmic artery) using SlowflowHD.

Results
In 19 uni- and 12 bilateral orbits in 31 fetuses, FHA could be identified in all orbits. In one orbit at 13 weeks and 5 days, blood flow on the string FHA could be detected. The vasa hyaloidea propria was noted in 3 orbits, and the posterior vascular capsule was depicted in 7 orbits. The incidence of Straight-type FHA increased with advancing gestation (p<0.0001). In a fetus with Trisomy 21, Straight-type FHA was noted in the left orbit, whereas FHA could not be identified in the right orbit.

Conclusions
This is the first report on the detection of FHA in the first trimester of pregnancy. SlowflowHD may be a useful diagnostic modality to evaluate human vascular development, such as FHA in utero.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
As soon as a new technology emerges, the education community explores its affordances and the possibilities to apply it in education. In this article, we analyze sessions with ChatGPT around topics in basic linear algebra. We reflect on the affordances and changes between two versions of ChatGPT since its worldwide publication in our area of interest, namely, linear algebra. In particular, the question of whether this software can be a teaching assistant or even somehow replace the human teacher is addressed. As of the time this article is written, the answer is generally negative. For the small part where the answer can be positive, some reflections about an original instrumental genesis are given.
Simultaneous effects of temperature and backbone length on static and dynamic properties of high-density polyethylene-1-butene copolymer melt: Equilibrium molecular dynamics approach
Authors: Yazdanbakhsh Amirhosein , Motlagh Ghodratollah Hashemi 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Temperature and chain length play significant roles in determining the physical properties of polymer melts. In the current computational research, a molecular dynamics (MD) approach was implemented to describe the static and dynamic properties of (1) high-density polyethylene-1-butene with 120 beads in backbone (PE120) and (2) entangled high-density polyethylene-1-butene with 600 beads in the backbone (PE600). The transferable potentials for phase equilibria force fields were used for CH2 beads in a defined initial condition. First, the equilibrium phase of the designed systems was reported with total energy and density convergency at various initial temperatures (T
0 = 450, 470, and 490 K). Also, gyration radius (R
g) and end-to-end distance (R) were calculated for the static behavior description of the two PEs. Zero-shear viscosity (η
0), mean square displacement, and diffusion coefficient (D) were estimated to define the dynamic behavior of PE120 and PE600 systems. MD outputs predicted that 10 ns is sufficient for equilibrium phase detection inside polymeric samples. After equilibrium phase detection, R
g converged to 14.97 and 17.35 Å in PE120 and PE600, respectively (T
0 = 450 K). Furthermore, MD outputs show that temperature variation can considerably affect the time evolution of the system. Numerically, the η
0 of PE120 and PE600 converged to 49 and 168 cp at 450 K. These results of η
0 parameter as a function of temperature are an important output of MD simulations. The results predicted that η
0 decreases to 24 and 44 cp for PE120 and PE600 samples with an increase in temperature from 450 to 490 K. With the creation of the entanglements network, D reached the highest value of 2 × 10−9 m2·s−1 among the designed polymeric systems. The results are in good consistency with experimental reports. It is expected that the result of this study can be used in designing improved polymeric systems for real applications.
Reduction in deep organ-space infection in gynecologic oncology surgery with use of oral antibiotic bowel preparation: a retrospective cohort analysis
Authors: Kennedy Kathryn , Gaertner-Otto Jennifer , Lim Eav 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Context
Deep organ-space infection (OSI) following gynecologic surgery is a source of patient morbidity and mortality. There is currently conflicting evidence regarding the use of bowel preparation prior to gynecologic surgery to reduce the rates of infection. For the additional purpose of improving patient recovery at our own institution, a retrospective cohort study compared the rate of deep OSI in patients who received oral antibiotic bowel preparation per Nichols–Condon bowel preparation with metronidazole and neomycin.

Objectives
The primary aim of this study was to compare the rate of deep organ-space surgical site infection in gynecologic surgery before and after institution of an oral antibiotic bowel preparation, thus assessing whether the preparation is associated with decreased infection rate. The secondary objective was to identify other factors associated with deep organ-space site infection.

Methods
A retrospective cohort study was performed. Demographic and surgical data were collected via chart review of 1,017 intra-abdominal surgeries performed by gynecologic oncologists at a single institution from April 1, 2019 to December 1, 2021. Of these, 778 met the inclusion criteria; 444 did not receive preoperative oral antibiotic bowel preparation, and 334 did receive preoperative bowel preparation. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated, and a logistic regression model was utilized for categorical variables. Multivariable regression analysis was performed.

Results
A total of 778 patients were included. Deep OSI rate in patients who did not receive oral antibiotic bowel preparation was 2.3 % compared to 0.3 % (OR 0.13, confidence interval [CI] 0.06–1.03, p=0.02) in patients who did. Receiving oral antibiotic bowel preparation predicted absence of deep OSI (OR 0.04, CI 0.00–0.87, p=0.04). Laparotomy (OR 20.1, CI 1.6–250.2, p=0.02) and Asian race (OR 60.8, CI 2.6–1,380.5, p=0.01) were related to increased rates of deep OSI.

Conclusions
Oral antibiotic bowel preparation predicts a reduced risk of deep OSI. This preparation is inexpensive and low-risk, and thus these clinically significant results support a promising regimen to improve surgical outcomes, and provide guidance for prospective larger studies.
Assessment of the validity and reliability of edinburgh postpartum depression scale in Turkish men
Authors: Alkan Çiğdem , Didikoğlu Altuğ , Çöme Oğulcan , Yılmaz Betül , Mevsim Vildan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Perinatal depression (PD) affects individuals during pregnancy and early parenthood, resembling major depression. Recent research highlights paternal perinatal depression (PPD) in fathers. PPD has adverse effects on fathers and their children. This study assesses the Turkish version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) for Turkish fathers, aiming to provide a tool for PPD identification.

Methods
This methodological study validates the EPDS for Turkish fathers and explores associations with demographic and psychosocial factors. The study involved 295 fathers with infants aged 2 weeks to 12 months. The EPDS, originally designed for perinatal depression and validated in Turkish women, was used. Fathers completed a participant information questionnaire, the EPDS, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) during clinic visits. Data on sociodemographic factors, paternal roles, and pregnancy and postpartum support were collected. Mothers also completed the EPDS. Descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation tests were used.

Results
The study included fathers with an average age of 30.5 years, mostly with a high school education or higher. The EPDS had a mean total score of 3.1. Factor analysis suggested a three-factor structure for the EPDS in Turkish fathers, including anhedonia, anxiety, and depression. Confirmatory factor analysis validated the three-factor structure, with acceptable model fit indices. Positive correlations were found between fathers’ EPDS scores, maternal EPDS scores, and paternal BDI scores. The EPDS effectively discriminated between different levels of depression severity. Various factors, such as education level and lack of support during pregnancy and after childbirth, were associated with higher EPDS scores.

Conclusions
These findings emphasize the significance of assessing and addressing PPD in fathers, supporting the use of the EPDS as a valid tool in the Turkish context. The three-factor structure aligns with international research, highlighting the importance of a multi-dimensional approach to PPD assessment. Early intervention can mitigate PPD’s impact on fathers, mothers, and children, benefiting mental health and well-being.

Abstract
Our study focuses on plant diversity in the Allal El Fassi dam, a semi-arid continental bioclimate, to understand human-impacted aquatic ecosystems. We analyzed plant, soil, and water samples from 40 stations using various indices. We identified 55 plant species across 35 families, with Poaceae, Asteraceae, Asparagaceae, and Rosaceae being dominant. The transition zone (formerly Zone 2) is characterized by dense vegetation of hydrophytes, hemicryptophytes, and therophytes. The transformed (formerly Zone 1) and terrestrial zones (formerly Zone 3) have less diverse vegetation, dominated by phanerophytes, geophytes, and chamerophites. Phanerophytes, due to their developed root systems, are suited to dam soil types. Predominant species like Tamarix gallica L., Nerium oleander L., Juncus acutus L., and Arundo donax L. indicate the dam’s ecological transformation into a terrestrial ecosystem isolated from the river by sedimentary deposits following floods. These species are opportunistic, and adapted to water level variations.

Published: October 2024

The success of an entity needs knowledge, skills, and experiences in business. For instance, knowledge on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), skills, and experiences in business is a vital component in poverty reduction. The purpose of this study therefore was to determine the role knowledge of SMEs, skills and experiences in business activities in poverty reduction. The respondents were 370 business people from 37 counties and cities in East Java. Their selection was based on cluster purposive sampling technique, and Structural Equation Modelling and regression two-stage were used for data analysis. The study established that knowledge has a significant influence impact on business but does not on influence poverty reduction. Also, skills in SMEs have a significant impact in poverty reduction. The experiences in business have are influence and significant impact at profitabilities and poverty reduction. Generally, knowledge, skill, and experiences on SMEs have a significant impact on reducing poverty.

Authors: Negro DanaRose , Yazdani Mishaal , Benitez Lindsay , Kenyon Chén C. , Fiks Alexander G. , Vasan Aditi 
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVES
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provide essential nutrition support for low-income families. However, many eligible families do not receive or fully redeem these benefits. We aimed to understand current and former WIC and SNAP beneficiaries’ perceptions of and suggestions for improving both programs.

METHODS
We conducted semistructured phone interviews with caregivers of pediatric patients who were current or former WIC and SNAP beneficiaries at 2 academic pediatric primary care clinics. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded by 2 independent coders using thematic analysis, resolving discrepancies by consensus. Interviews continued until data saturation was reached.

RESULTS
We interviewed 40 caregivers who were predominantly Black (88%) mothers (90%), with 53% and 83% currently using WIC and SNAP, respectively. We identified 4 themes related to participation barriers: (1) limited product variety available through WIC, (2) inconvenience and stigma associated with purchasing WIC products, (3) SNAP income-based eligibility criteria, and (4) burdensome SNAP enrollment and recertification processes. We identified 3 themes related to suggestions for improvement: (a) decreasing stigma associated with participation, (b) allowing online or phone-based enrollment, and (c) improving coordination with health care systems.

CONCLUSIONS
WIC and SNAP beneficiaries identified several modifiable barriers to enrollment and benefits redemption. Pediatric providers should advocate for programmatic improvements that make it easier for families to access and redeem benefits and should consider implementing innovative cross-sector interventions like medical–financial partnerships, direct WIC and SNAP referrals, and data sharing with government assistance offices.
Estimating Real Seismicity Rates from Nonhomogeneously Recorded Earthquake Catalogs
Authors: Ogata Yosihiko 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Accurate estimation of seismic activity using epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) models for small earthquakes is complicated by the incompleteness of the aftershock catalog immediately following frequent large earthquakes. For example, in conventional aftershock analysis using the ETAS model, the earthquakes immediately following the mainshock, including the mainshock, are used only as a history, and the estimate is based on data for subsequent segments above the lower magnitude limit where detection completeness can be guaranteed. However, the high activity in the missing interval itself contains important clues to the physical structure associated with the immediate aftershocks. In this article, I consider all detected seismic data, even if incomplete. I try to estimate the detection probability of each earthquake in the catalog and show how to estimate the real underlying activity of the ETAS and nonstationary ETAS models.
Rotaphone-D, A New Model of Six-Degree-of-Freedom Seismic Sensor: Description and Performance
Authors: Brokešová Johana , Málek Jiří 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
A new model of the Rotaphone-D short-period seismic sensor with six degrees of freedom is introduced. The basis of the instrument is horizontal and vertical geophones in a special paired arrangement. The instrument is designed for simultaneous and collocated measurements of rotational and translational components of ground motion. The basic principle of measurement is briefly described. Careful calibration is necessary for this type of measurement, which has two parts: a preliminary calibration based on laboratory measurements of the characteristics of the individual geophones, and a subsequent in situ calibration, which takes into account the actual physical conditions during field measurements and is performed during the processing of the measured data. The effect of the calibration is demonstrated by specific laboratory tests. The laboratory tests have confirmed the correct functioning of the instrument. The frequency range of Rotaphone-D is from 2 to 80 Hz and is therefore optimal for monitoring local seismicity. The instrument was subsequently used in field measurements during two several-month measurement campaigns in California, United States. Examples of six-component records from two sites—The Geysers and Long Valley Caldera—are presented and briefly interpreted from a seismological perspective. Basic instrument parameters are given. The instrument is lightweight, portable, easy to install, and offers several interesting applications, which are briefly discussed. Six-component measurements (translational and rotational) have become a powerful tool, especially in volcanic seismology and in monitoring induced seismicity.
Application of tests for contagion in point processes to measles, Chlamydia, Lyme disease, and suicide
Authors: Schoenberg Frederic 
Published: October 2024

A recently proposed likelihood-ratio test for identifying causal triggering in point process data is applied to a variety of case counts of diseases of varying infectiousness. The test, suggested by McGovern et al. (2023), involves comparing the likelihood of a fitted Hawkes model to that of a fitted Poisson cluster model, and was shown using simulations to be powerful at discriminating between a process with causal triggering and a process where the clustering is merely due to spatial-temporal inhomogeneity. Here, the test is applied to data on measles, Chlamydia, and Lyme disease in the United States, to see if the test can discern between diseases that are highly contagious, moderately contagious, and not directly contagious from human to human. Measles is a highly contagious disease that spreads rapidly through populations, so it can potentially be modeled accurately using a Hawkes model. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that is not as highly contagious as measles since the level of contact needed for exposure is much higher than for measles. Lyme disease is non-contagious from human to human but cases tend to be highly clustered, as the disease is primarily spread through ticks, and this exposure is much more likely to happen during warmer weather. Further, the test is applied to data on adolescent suicides in the United States, in order to investigate the hypothesis that such suicides are an epidemic spread by social contagion. The results show that the test is able to measure the degree of contagion of a disease, and the results suggest that there is indeed a small but statistically significant element of contagion to youth suicides.
