Published: August 2024

Background
While different proposals exist for a guideline on reporting Delphi studies, none of them has yet established itself in the health and social sciences and across the range of Delphi variants. This seems critical because empirical studies demonstrate a diversity of modifications in the conduction of Delphi studies and sometimes even errors in the reporting. The aim of the present study is to close this gap and formulate a general reporting guideline.

Method
In an international Delphi procedure, Delphi experts were surveyed online in three rounds to find consensus on a reporting guideline for Delphi studies in the health and social sciences. The respondents were selected via publications of Delphi studies. The preliminary reporting guideline, containing 65 items on five topics and presented for evaluation, had been developed based on a systematic review of the practice of Delphi studies and a systematic review of existing reporting guidelines for Delphi studies. Starting in the second Delphi round, the experts received feedback in the form of mean values, measures of dispersion, a summary of the open-ended responses and their own response in the previous round. The final draft of the reporting guideline contains the items on which at least 75% of the respondents agreed by assigning scale points 6 and 7 on a 7-point Likert scale.

Results
1,072 experts were invited to participate. A total of 91 experts completed the first Delphi round, 69 experts the second round, and 56 experts the third round. Of the 65 items in the first draft of the reporting guideline, consensus was ultimately reached for 38 items addressing the five topics: Title and Abstract (n = 3), Context (n = 7), Method (n = 20), Results (n = 4) and Discussion (n = 4). Items focusing on theoretical research and on dissemination were either rejected or remained subjects of dissent.

Discussion
We assume a high level of acceptance and interdisciplinary suitability regarding the reporting guideline presented here and referred to as the "Delphi studies in social and health sciences–recommendations for an interdisciplinary standardized reporting" (DELPHISTAR). Use of this reporting guideline can substantially improve the ability to compare and evaluate Delphi studies.

Background
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease with worldwide representation that impacts every domain of a patient´s life, extending to sexual and reproductive domains. The study characterized sexual health (SH) and reproductive health (RH) in Mexican RA outpatients and identified factors associated with impaired sexual function (ISF).

Methods
From September 1, 2020—January 31, 2022, consecutive RA participants had semi-structured interviews focusing on their SH and RH biographies, and self-administered questionnaires were applied to assess patient-reported outcomes, including fatigue with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue scale (FACIT-F). ISF was defined based on published cut-offs of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) in males and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in females (≥1 sexual intercourse in the last four weeks was required for index scoring). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with ISF.

Results
There were 268 participants, and 246 (91.8%) were females. Participants had 13 years of disease duration. Among females, 151 (61.4%) had FSFI applied, and the satisfaction domain was impaired in 111 (73.5%). Among males (N = 22), 17 (77.3%) had IIEF applied, and erectile dysfunction was present in 5 (29.4%). Almost half of the participants denied using a family planning method, were in their 50s, and receiving teratogenic drugs; 89.7% of the participants had children.
ISF was detected in 94 (62.3%) females and 3 (17.6%) males. Male sex (aOR: 0.07, 95%CI: 0.01–0.36, p = 0.001), FACIT-F score (aOR: 0.96, 95%CI: 0.92–1.00, p = 0.03), and cohabitation with the couple (aOR: 0.32, 95%CI: 0.11–0.96, p = 0.04) were associated with ISF.

Conclusions
We observed a disproportionate burden of ISF among women with RA compared to male participants. Male sex, lesser fatigue, and cohabitation with the couple were protective against ISF. Regardless of the prevalent use of teratogenic medications, contraceptive use was suboptimal among the participants.
Machine learning assessment of vildagliptin and linagliptin effectiveness in type 2 diabetes: Predictors of glycemic control
Authors: Esaifan Hanin A. , Saadah Loai M. , Abu Hammour Khawla , Abu Farha Rana K. 
Published: August 2024

Objective
Differential effects of linagliptin and vildagliptin may help us personalize treatment for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The current study compares the effect of these drugs on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in an artificial neural network (ANN) model.

Methods
Patients with T2DM who received either vildagliptin or linagliptin, with predefined exclusion criteria, qualified for the study. Two input variable datasets were constructed: with or without imputation for missing values. The primary outcome was HbA1c readings between 3 to 12 months or the reduction in HbA1c levels.

Results
The cohort comprised 191 individuals (92 vildagliptin and 99 linagliptin). Linagliptin group had significantly higher disease burden. For imputed dataset, HbA1c was lower with linagliptin at 3 to 12 months (7.442 ± 0.408 vs. 7.626 ± 0.408, P < 0.001). However, there was a small yet significant difference in HbA1c reduction favoring vildagliptin over linagliptin (-1.123 ± 0.033 vs. -1.111 ± 0.043, P < 0.001). LDL level, uric acid, and the drug group were identified as predictors for HbA1c levels. In the non-imputed dataset HbA1c at 3 to 12 months was lower with linagliptin (median ± IQR: 7.489 ± 0.467 vs. 7.634 ± 0.467, P-value < 0.001). However, both linagliptin and vildagliptin exhibited similar reductions in HbA1c levels (both median ± IQR of -1.07 ± 0.02). Predictors for HbA1c levels included eGFR level and the drug group.

Conclusion
Linagliptin effectively lowers HbA1c levels more than vildagliptin including in patients with comorbidities. DPP4-I choice is a constant predictor of HbA1c in all models.
Whom to (dis)benefit: the principle for determining what/how to say in social interaction
Authors: Yang Bingjun 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Choices of what/how to say in social interaction are inherently intentional because interlocutors may not mean what they say, and they may pretend to give priority to others’ benefits or simply claim or deny in order to (dis)benefit certain participants. Thus, a significant question is on what basis humans choose what to say in order to power and/or (dis)agree or to be (un)cooperative, (im)polite and/or (ir)relevant. Since no intention is benefit-free, it can be assumed that benefit (physical, metaphysical or combinational) weighing on whom to (dis)benefit determines what to say. This principle is the pivot to the reconstruction of connections of intention expression and interpretation in language interaction. Nine basic categories of benefit weighing can be approached for the meaning of specific language choices. Presidential debates and saint dialogues which are salient and family talk which is subtle in benefit weighing are good examples to illustrate this principle. The best result of communication may be achieved when interlocutors disregard their own benefits and speak for the group, the community, or human beings in general. Overall, benefit weighing may serve as the anchor for tackling topics and themes in pragmatics.

Abstract
Sensing technology is gaining attention and continuously advancing, making it a recommended element of individualized healthcare management. This is due to the powers exhibited by organometallic compounds, which are further enhanced by the field of bioengineering. Organometallic compounds have a wide range of biological activity and find uses in industrial and material science fields. Their unique ability to specifically target and overcome constraints faced by traditional counterparts makes them potential contenders for sensor technology. These compounds are highly sensitive to changes in their environment, allowing them to be utilized as sensors for detecting various chemicals or conditions. Additionally, the versatility of organometallic compounds enables their integration into different sensor platforms, making them suitable for environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, and industrial quality control. This article provides a comprehensive summary of recent advancements in the design and synthesis of organometallic compounds, with a specific emphasis on their potential use as sensors. It also discusses the changes made to the structure, the processes used for functionalization, the incorporation of microfluidics, and the resulting impact on the materials’ sensing capabilities. These biologically derived methods align with sustainability goals and enhance the affordability, applicability, and effectiveness of sensing.
Rhapsody in the Blue: Another Greek Loanword in Biblical Hebrew
Authors: Eichler Raanan 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
There is currently no satisfactory etymology for the hapax legomenon רַפְסֹדוֹת
rapsōdôt in 2Chr 2:15 (Eng. 16), although its meaning is agreed to be »rafts, floats«. It is proposed here that the word comes from the phonetically identical Greek word ῥαψῳδία (the ancestor of English rhapsody), which literally means »linked song«. Logs linked together into rafts recalled verses linked together into songs.
Los "antiguos peruanos" de la antropología americana: la arqueología de los Andes del siglo XIX como nexo de investigación global
Authors: Heaney Christopher 
Published: August 2024

Between 1820 and 1920, American anthropologists acquired more human remains of Andean origin than those of any other individual population worldwide. This article explains why in 1965 in the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, anthropologists represented the growth of all humanity using 160 Andean skulls. Using archival sources, it argues that the excavation and interpretation of Andean ancestors in Peru prior to 1900 was foundational to the development of Americanist anthropology as a whole, and should be understood as the necessary preface to the more famous development of archaeology in Peru under Uhle and Tello. Exploration of this history is necessary in light of recent efforts in the United States to return or repatriate ancestral remains to source communities.
Estudio de los procesos de la emancipación peruana en las aulas escolares bajo el contexto de la emergencia sanitaria 2020-2021
Authors: Castro Olivas Jorge Luis 
Published: August 2024

Based on a reflection on the reduced place of national history in the official educational proposal, the contents that appear in school textbooks on the processes that led to the Peruvian emancipation are analyzed, as well as the difficulties related to the development of virtual classes as a consequence of the health emergency. The centralism of the official educational proposal, despite some efforts to influence regional processes, is also mentioned. A brief account of what has already been said on the subject is presented, reflecting on the concrete problems of teachers, such as the difficulty to access, renew or improve their classroom materials, and also commenting on the problems of students in the classroom and outside it, such as poor connectivity, emotional problems at family and individual level and the eventual school dropout, situations that were aggravated by the usual disdain of the State.

The Implications of Crowdfunding on News Production and Distribution Practices in Indonesia's Online Media
Authors: Humeira Bintan , Aji Rizka Sasongko 
Published: August 2024

This article investigates the crowdfunding journalism model and its implications for the news production and distribution of Project Multatuli (PM), the first crowdfunding media in Indonesia. Therefore, this research utilizes a crowdfunding journalism perspective, a qualitative approach study, and triangulation methods for data collection (in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation). The results showed the following findings: First, PM uses a combination funding model of crowdfunding and donor agencies, rather than hybrid funding based on a traditional business model that relies on media owners and advertising. This combination funding model aims to be free from pressure from media owners as investors and profit orientation from advertising revenue. Second, PM creates a transparent, participatory and collaborative co-creation process with its members in content production. Third, PM 'resists' the logic of algorithms through clickbait to increase digital traffic which has implications for the speed and superficiality of coverage. It is a form of PM's dedication to investigative journalism that is committed to in-depth coverage in order to maintain the credibility of the content. Lastly, PM distributes content through national, local and international media networks under creative license. Thus, the distribution strategy is more aimed at expanding the reach of literacy to the general public, rather than just increasing readership.

Whey proteins (WPs) are the most widely used protein supplements worldwide. This study investigates the impact of incorporating trehalose into WPs at different ratios ranging from 1% to 5% (w/v) on the structural characteristics, surface properties, and functionality of trehalose (T) conjugated to WPs (T-WP). The T-WP conjugate was produced using the pH-shifting technique. Our findings demonstrated that conjugating trehalose into WPs significantly altered the Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum, tertiary structure, and protein conformation. The surface charge and hydrophobicity of T-WPs were changed significantly (p < 0.05). Structural modifications had a notable effect on the solubility and digestibility of T-WPs. The water solubility of T-WPs increased from 88.12% to 95.53% when conjugated with 5% (w/v) trehalose. Furthermore, the impact of the development of T-WPs on FTIR spectrum was investigated. The β-sheet, random coil, α-helix, and β-turn were changed significantly from 36.17% to 45.21%, 12.38% to 16.39%, 10.69% to 13.44%, and 40.76% to 24.94%, respectively. The results presented in this study offer structural information to enhance the creation of WP products with improved functional properties.
