Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
Microvascular blood flow is more directly relevant to the proliferation of microvascular networks resulting from breast oncogenesis, when compared with the oxy- and deoxy- hemoglobin concentrations in breast tissue. Diffuse correlation tomography (DCT) is an emerging technique for noninvasive measurement of microvascular blood flow, whereas its capability to categorize the benign and malignant breast lesions were not extensively validated thus far, due to the difficulties in instrumentation, image reconstruction algorithms, as well as the appropriate approaches for imaging analyses.
Methods
In this study, artificial intelligence (AI) assisted DCT instrumentation was constructed based on unique source-detector array and image reconstruction algorithm, with capability for accurately visualizing and diagnosing tumor-induced hemodynamic abnormalities in the microcirculatory network. The DCT blood flow images of human breast were obtained from a total of sixty-one female participants, and AI models were utilized to classify breast lesions. During this process, the DCT blood flow images were either extracted as feature parameters or as the global inputs to the AI models.
Results
As the validations of DCT instrumentation, the blood flow images obtained from longitudinal monitoring of healthy subject demonstrated stability of DCT measurements on women breasts, with stable bilateral BFI contrast (1.01 ~ 1.12). For the patients with breast diseases, the comprehensive analyses yield an optimal AI-assisted classification for distinguishing between benign and malignant breast lesions, at accuracy rate of 86.4% and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.89.
Conclusions
These outcomes demonstrated the capability of AI-assisted DCT for identifying breast cancer. In contrast to the conventional morphological imaging modalities, the emerging DCT reflects the functional abnormalities that are associated with the cancellous-induced high metabolic demands, thus demonstrating the great potential for early diagnosis and timely therapeutic assessment of breast cancer, e.g., prior to the tumor formation or proliferation of microvascular networks.

ABSTRACT
Accurate river discharge forecasts for short to intermediate time intervals are crucial for decision-making related to flood mitigation, the seamless operation of inland waterways management, and optimal dredging. River routing models that are physics based, such as RAPID (‘routing application for parallel computation of discharge’) or its variants, are used to forecast river discharge. These physics-based models make numerous assumptions, including linear process modeling, accounting for only adjacent river inflows, and requiring brute force calibration of hydrological input parameters. As a consequence of these assumptions and the missing information that describes the complex dynamics of rivers and their interaction with hydrology and topography, RAPID leads to noisy forecasts that may, at times, substantially deviate from the true gauged values. In this article, we propose hybrid river discharge forecast models that integrate physics-based RAPID simulation model with advanced data-driven machine learning (ML) models. They leverage runoff data of the watershed in the entire basin, consider the physics-based RAPID model, take into account the variability in predictions made by the physics-based model relative to the true gauged discharge values, and are built on state-of-the-art ML models with different complexities. We deploy two different algorithms to build these hybrid models, namely, delta learning and data augmentation. The results of a case study indicate that a hybrid model for discharge predictions outperforms RAPID in terms of overall performance. The prediction accuracy for various rivers in the case study can be improved by a factor of four to seven.
The Malleable Scarcity of Oral Contraceptive Pills
Authors: Brotherton Michelle 
Published: September 2024

Introduction
The lack of oral contraceptive pill scarcity is taken into consideration in this article manuscript. Some of the factors are analysed that influence this situation by taking a close look at both historical and contemporary examples of scarcities and shortages.

Methods
Investigations are conducted on whether oral contraceptive pills can even be scarce through an argument by analogy or if politics, legal precedents, societal views, and market politics determine scarcities and shortages.

Results
Given the human rights implications of reproductive health care services and the fundamental difference OCPs can make in the lives of millions of women, claims of shortages and scarcities need to be placed under scrutiny to avoid a violation of rights through unmet needs.

Conclusion
THE malleable scarcity of oral contraceptive pills:
“Throughout the history of medicine, thousands of drugs have been developed, but only one has been influential enough to earn the title of simply the pill.”
Survey of Citizens’ Preferences for Combined Contact Tracing App Features During a Pandemic: Conjoint Analysis
Authors: Bito Seiji , Hayashi Yachie , Fujita Takanori , Takahashi Ikuo , Arai Hiromi , Yonemura Shigeto 
Published: September 2024

Background
During the COVID-19 pandemic, an increased need for novel solutions such as digital contact tracing apps to mitigate virus spread became apparent. These apps have the potential to enhance public health initiatives through timely contact tracing and infection rate reduction. However, public and academic scrutiny has emerged around the adoption and use of these apps due to privacy concerns.

Objective
This study aims to investigate public attitudes and preferences for contact tracing apps, specifically in Japan, using conjoint analysis to examine what specifications the public values most in such apps. By offering a nuanced understanding of the values that citizens prioritize, this study can help balance public health benefits and data privacy standards when designing contact tracing apps and serve as reference data for discussions on legal development and social consensus formation in the future.

Methods
A cross-sectional, web-based questionnaire survey was conducted to determine how various factors related to the development and integration of infectious disease apps affect the public’s intention to use such apps. Individuals were recruited anonymously by a survey company. All respondents were asked to indicate their preferences for a combination of basic attributes and infectious disease app features for conjoint analysis. The respondents were randomly divided into 2 groups: one responded to a scenario where the government was assumed to be the entity dealing with infectious disease apps (ie, the government cluster), and the other responded to a scenario where a commercial company was assumed to be this entity (ie, the business cluster). Samples of 500 respondents from each randomly selected group were used as target data.

Results
For the government cluster, the most important attribute in scenario A was distributor rights (42.557), followed by public benefits (29.458), personal health benefits (22.725), and profit sharing (5.260). For the business cluster, the most important attribute was distributor rights (45.870), followed by public benefits (32.896), personal health benefits (13.994), and profit sharing (7.240). Hence, personal health benefits tend to be more important in encouraging active app use than personal financial benefits. However, the factor that increased motivation for app use the most was the public health benefits of cutting infections by half. Further, concern about the use of personal data collected by the app for any secondary purpose was a negative incentive, which was more significant toward app use compared to the other 3 factors.

Conclusions
The findings suggest that potential app users are positively motivated not only by personal health benefits but also by contributing to public health. Thus, a combined approach can be taken to increase app use.

Published: September 2024

Background
Sleep games are an emerging topic in the realm of serious health game research. However, designing features that are both enjoyable and effective at engaging users, particularly university students, to develop healthy sleep habits remains a challenge.

Objective
This study aims to investigate user preferences for 3 sleep game prototypes, that is, Hero’s Sleep Journey, Sleep Tamagotchi, and Sleepland, and to explore their popularity and perceived utility in promoting sleep health.

Methods
A mixed methods approach was used in this study. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through a co-design workshop involving 47 university students. Participants were presented with storyboard cards of game features and were asked to provide an overall rating on each game, as well as ratings for individual features. They were also encouraged to provide free-form comments on the features and suggest improvements. In addition, participants were asked to express their preferences among the 3 games regarding which game they would most like to play and which one they found most useful for promoting sleep health.

Results
Surprisingly, while Hero’s Sleep Journey was the most popular choice among participants, Sleep Tamagotchi was perceived as the most beneficial for improving sleep health. Relevance emerged as an overarching theme in the qualitative data analysis, with 3 interconnected dimensions: psychological relevance to users’ personal lives, logical relevance to sleep health, and situational relevance to users’ circumstantial context. We discussed how the 3 dimensions of relevance address the autonomy and relatedness constructs outlined in the self-determination theory and proposed 3 design recommendations.

Conclusions
Our serious sleep game prototypes demonstrated the potential to engage university students to develop healthy sleep hygiene. Future sleep game designs should aim to create a sense of relevance to users’ personal lives, sleep health goals, and situational contexts. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, it is essential to develop a wide range of game genres and features to cater to diverse users. Aligning game features with sleep health goals and educating users on the design rationale through sleep knowledge are also important aspects. Furthermore, allowing users to customize their game experience and manage technology boundaries is necessary to nurture a sense of control and autonomy in the process of forming good sleep hygiene.
The Impact of Using Doodling in The Educational Environment On the Degree of Learning of Educational Material

Published: September 2024

Introduction. This article is devoted to the study of doodling as a process of unconscious drawing by students during active thinking activity under experimental conditions. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the expressed public demand for the development and implementation of new methods and technologies in the modern educational process. The novelty of the study lies in the relatively low level of study of this phenomenon to date and the contradictory nature of the available practical data on its effectiveness. Thus, the presented work will help to supplement the still unstable scientific understanding of such a widespread phenomenon as “drawing on the margins”. Objective. To compare the degree of learning of educational material in students when using doodling and the classical method of memorization on the basis of historical text. Materials and Methods. Forty-eight psychology students at SFU, aged 17 to 22 years, 43 of them women and 5 men, were chosen as subjects. The subjects were divided into control and experimental groups, each of which was read a historical text. Then, 30‒40 minutes after the end of the experiment, each group completed the author’s questionnaire of 10 open-ended questions on the listened material. The results of each subject were evaluated by the degree of the completeness of answers and summarized for each group to then find the average value for each and compare. Results. The experimental group, which used doodling techniques, showed noticeably worse learning and reproduction results than the control group. Discussion. The results obtained are partially reflected in the work of other authors who were unable to reproduce the data, showing the advantages of doodling in memorizing information. It can be assumed that the results of the experiment were influenced by the relatively small size of the stimulus material and the morning time of the experiment: the subjects did not have time to tire, so they did not have a natural need for additional methods of attention retention. Perhaps, for this reason, a natural experiment could show better results on the use of doodling than a laboratory experiment. It is alsopossible that this method is only useful for people with certain characteristics. Further experimental studies with other conditions of doodling playback in different educational environments, subjects, and stimulus material are needed to clarify the phenomenon.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. The scientific relevance and social significance of the mental burnout are determined by the maladaptive nature of its manifestations, which have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the professional activity of specialists. At the same time in the scientific field there is a deficit of research revealing the mechanisms of influence of specific conditions of pedagogical activity realization on its efficiency and presenting the consequences of this influence. Objective. To study mental burnout in school teachers working in rural areas. Materials and Methods. The study participants were 184 teachers from schools in the districts of the city of Zabaikalski Krai and Chita. In the process of forming the sample, the questionnaire survey was used, based on the results of which two groups were formed: the first group included 56 teachers from rural schools, and the second group consisted of 58 teachers from city schools. At the stage of empirical research, we used the method of psychodiagnostic testing, which included the method of professional burnout by K. Maslach and S. Jackson in adaptation of N. E. Vodopyanova and V. V. Boyko’s method of diagnosing emotional burnout. The non-parametric criterion of reliability of differences U Mann-Whitney was used in processing the results of the study. Results. It was found that the frequency of occurrence and the degree of severity of mental burnout manifestations are lower in rural school teachers compared to urban school teachers. The dynamics of symptoms in this group is characterized by earlier stages of development and the emerging nature of symptoms, and there is a qualitative peculiarity of the general structure of mental burnout, manifested in the dominance of certain symptoms and the nature of their completeness. Discussion. The analysis of the empirical research results allows us to speak about the peculiarities of mental burnout concerning its frequency of occurrence, degree of expression, and qualitative uniqueness in rural and urban school teachers. The results of the study indicate higher adaptive capabilities of rural school teachers in relation to the development of mental burnout and allow us to outline an effective direction of appropriate preventive work.
