Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions for Behavior Change in Physiological Health Outcomes and the Use Case for Knee Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review
Authors: Fiedler Janis , Bergmann Matteo Reiner , Sell Stefan , Woll Alexander , Stetter Bernd J 
Published: July 2024

Background
The prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in the adult population is high and patients profit from individualized therapy approaches. Just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) are upcoming digital interventions for behavior change.

Objective
This systematic review summarizes the features and effectiveness of existing JITAIs regarding important physiological health outcomes and derives the most promising features for the use case of KOA.

Methods
The electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO were searched using keywords related to JITAIs, physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), physical function, quality of life, pain, and stiffness. JITAIs for adults that focused on the effectiveness of at least 1 of the selected outcomes were included and synthesized qualitatively. Study quality was assessed with the Quality Assessment Tool Effective Public Health Practice Project.

Results
A total of 45 studies with mainly weak overall quality were included in this review. The studies were mostly focused on PA and SB and no study examined stiffness. The design of JITAIs varied, with a frequency of decision points from a minute to a day, device-based measured and self-reported tailoring variables, intervention options including audible or vibration prompts and tailored feedback, and decision rules from simple if-then conditions based on 1 variable to more complex algorithms including contextual variables.

Conclusions
The use of frequent decision points, device-based measured tailoring variables accompanied by user input, intervention options tailored to user preferences, and simple decision rules showed the most promising results in previous studies. This can be transferred to a JITAI for the use case of KOA by using target variables that include breaks in SB and an optimum of PA considering individual knee load for the health benefits of patients.
Effect of Elastic Resistance on Exercise Intensity and User Satisfaction While Playing the Active Video Game BoxVR in Immersive Virtual Reality: Empirical Study
Authors: Polechoński Jacek , Przepiórzyński Alan , Polechoński Piotr , Tomik Rajmund

Abstract

Background
One of the main contemporary forms of physical activity (PA) involves exercises and games in an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment, which allows the user to practice various forms of PA in a small space. Unfortunately, most of the currently available VR games and workout applications are mostly based on upper body movements, especially the arms, which do not guarantee sufficiently high exercise intensity and health benefits. Therefore, it is worth seeking solutions to help increase the exercise load during PA in VR.

Objective
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of elastic arm resistance in the form of latex resistance bands of different elasticity levels on the intensity of students’ PA while playing the BoxVR game. We further assessed the satisfaction of this form of exercise and its associations with PA intensity.

Methods
A total of 21 healthy and physically fit men (mean age 22.5, SD 2.0 years) were included in the study. The tests consisted of 3 10-minute games. One game was run with no load and the other two were run with 1.5-meter latex resistance bands (low and high resistance). The order of the tests was randomized and the participants rested for 20 minutes after each exercise. Exercise intensity was estimated using objective (heart rate monitoring) and subjective (Borg scale) methods. The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale was used to assess satisfaction with the PA. The effect of elastic resistance on exercise intensity and user enjoyment was estimated using ANOVA for repeated measures.

Results
The ANOVA results indicated that incorporation of elastic resistance caused a significant change (F2,40=20.235, P<.001; η²p=0.503) in the intensity of PA in VR, which was low while playing without resistance and then increased to a moderate level with additional resistance. The use of elastic bands also changed participants’ perceptions of the enjoyment of exercise in VR (F2,40=9.259, P<.001; η²p=0.316). The students rated their satisfaction with PA in VR on a 7-point scale highly and similarly when exercising without an upper limb load (mean 6.19, SD 0.61) and with slight elastic resistance (mean 6.17, SD 0.66), whereas their satisfaction declined significantly (mean 5.66, SD 0.94) when incorporating a higher load.

Conclusions
The intensity of PA among students playing the BoxVR game is at a relatively low level. With the added resistance of elastic bands attached to the upper limbs, the intensity of the exercise increased to a moderate level, as recommended for obtaining health benefits. Participants rated the enjoyment of PA in VR highly. The use of slight elastic resistance did not negatively affect satisfaction with the BoxVR game, although user satisfaction declined with a higher load. Further research should be undertaken to increase the effectiveness of exercise in VR so that regular users can enjoy the health benefits.
Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm Modification Based on Distance Measurement for River Water Quality

Published: July 2024

River water quality could be determined by understanding the capacity of pollutants in a water body. Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) is one of the fuzzy clustering methods for determining river water quality by measuring water quality parameters, that is, dissolved oxygen (DO) and total dissolved solids (TDS). The FCM algorithm is an effective fuzzy clustering algorithm for grouping data but often produces local and inconsistent optimal solutions due to the partition matrix's random initialisation process. Therefore, this study proposes to modify the FCM algorithm to be precise in the partition matrix initialisation process using several distance concepts. The purpose of the proposed algorithm modification is to get more consistent FCM clustering results and minimise stop iterations. The validation process for the clustering results uses the FCM algorithm, and the FCM modification algorithm uses three parameters, namely the Partition Coefficient Index (PCI), Partition Entropy Index (PEI) and Silhouette Score (SS). The experiments were conducted with three replications and using various distance concepts. The results showed that the number of iterations stopped in the FCM algorithm has different values for PCI, PEI, SS, and stop iterations and objective functions in each trial. On the contrary, the FCM modification algorithm has consistent PCI, PEI, and SS values, and the number of iterations stops with fewer iterations. Therefore, the modified algorithm for initialising the partition matrix can be used in the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm.

Published: July 2024

Novice voters are susceptible to political misinformation, which can influence democratic decision-making. Thus, reducing the negative impact of political misinformation is essential to support more democratic elections. Utilizing the Stimulus-Organism-Response theoretical framework, this research examines four hypotheses concerning the correlation of media literacy and information literacy on the capability of novice voters to recognize misinformation about politics and their intention to disseminate it on social networks. A quantitative research approach employing cross-sectional surveys was utilized. The sample consisted of 380 novice voters comprising high school students in Cianjur Regency, selected through a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected through online surveys using Google Forms and tested using the application of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. According to the findings, media literacy and information literacy simultaneously significantly impact novice voters' competence to recognize political misinformation on social network sites, and higher media and information literacy scales correlate with lower intentions to disseminate political misinformation on social platforms. The findings conclude that media literacy and information literacy perform a crucial function in determining the behavior of beginner voters regarding political misinformation on social media. These findings also support policymakers, media organizations, and educational institutions in designing more effective literacy programs.

Pengaruh Ikhtilaf Ulama Dalam Perkembangan Fikih
Authors: Amiruddin Aminullah  , Muhammad Iqbal  
Published: July 2024

Dalam lapangan fikih, perbedaan faham dan cara pandang, adalah sesuatu yang alamiah, ilmiah dan tidak mungkin dihindari. Alamiah karena secara fitri, cara pandang manusia itu tidak selalu sama. Ilmiah, karena teks-teks syari’ah (al-Quran dan al-sunnah) memberikan ruang-gerak bagi kemungkinan untuk berbeda pemahaman. Dalam perkembagan berikutnya, perbedaan pendapat inilah yang kemudian melahirkan madzhab-madzhab Islam yang masih menjadi pegangan masyarakat Islam sampai sekarang. Pangkal perbedaan ulama adalah tingkat berbeda antara pemahaman manusia dalam menangkap pesan dan makna, mengambil kesimpulan hukum, menangkap rahasia syariat dan memahami ‘illat hukum. Semua ini tidak bertentangan dengan kesatuan sumber syariat. Karena syariat Islam tidak saling bertentangan satu sama lainnya. Dari berbagai keterangan dan sejarah perkembangan hukum Islam menunjukkan bahwa, perbedaan pendapat semenjak masa Nabi Muhamamad, masa sahabat, tabi’in sampai ke masa Imam mazhab terus berlangsung, namun tetap dalam suasana yang harmonis, saling menghargai, dan penuh toleransi.

Published: July 2024

Introduction:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) exhibits a high prevalence, particularly among individuals possessing established risk factors and concurrent medical conditions. This study aims to elucidate the link between sleep apnea and coronary artery disease (CAD).

Objectives:
The objectives of this study were as follows: To assess the effect of OSA in women with CAD and also to have a comparison with that of men with CAD.

Materials and methods:
It is a case–control study done in 122 patients with OSA. Factors such as age, body mass index, physical activity, frequent junk food intake, and presence of diabetes were assessed.

Results:
Sixty-one cases having CAD and 61 controls not having CAD were taken. With 95% confidence interval (with an upper level of 6.906 and lower level of 1.550), the odds ratio obtained is 3.272. Hence, there is a statistically significant association between OSA and CAD. At the same time, the study proves that the coexistence of OSA with CAD exacerbates CAD. The study also shows that women with OSA are having increased risk of CAD compared to that of men.

Conclusion:
There is statistical association between OSA and CADs where OSA has a significant effect on the severity of CAD and vice versa. Women having OSA are at a higher risk of developing CAD than that of men.

Careful landfill selection with minimal environmental impact is vital for urban planners. This study aims to identify suitable sites for controlled landfills using Fuzzy-AHP integrated with Remote Sensing and GIS, considering a 20-year projection of population and solid waste generation. Initially, twelve sub-criteria were identified, grouped into environmental, socio-economic, and physical categories, and then weighted using paired comparison matrices involving nine experts. The sub-criteria were rasterized and classified into four suitability levels. The weighted overlay of sub-criteria maps generated a territorial suitability model. Within the Alto Utcubamba Commonwealth (Amazonas, Peru), 0.069%, 41.70%, 66.934%, 0.20%, and 12.4% of the territory are suitable, moderately suitable, less suitable, unsuitable, and restricted, respectively, for landfill establishment. Subsequently, 16 highly suitable sites were selected based on the required area (S4 polygons ≥ 0.505 ha) in line with the projected solid waste generation over 20 years. Of the 16 selected areas, only 15 met the shape index. The model showed high accuracy (AUC = 0.784) during validation. Furthermore, this study provides a comprehensive framework for making decisions about waste management in developing countries, enhancing understanding of key factors in selecting landfill sites. It also offers a deeper insight into global and local factors that determine the suitability of landfill sites. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-06-01 Full Text: PDF

Published: July 2024

Stress concentration factors are important to determine fatigue life based on the S-N curve methodology, where the lower the stress concentration factor, the higher the fatigue life. In this work, we developed internal ring-reinforced KT-joints, one of the most commonly used joints in the offshore industry, for the most practical ranges with the least stress concentration factors, followed by the formulation of a novel set of parametric equations for determining the stress concentration factors of internal ring-reinforced KT-joints. Using numerical investigation based on a finite element model and a response surface approach with 8 parameters (λ, δ, ψ, ζ, θ, τ, γ, and β) as input and eleven outputs (SCF 0° to SCF 90° and peak SCF), the stress at ten locations around the brace was evaluated, since efficient response surface methodology has been proven to give comprehensive and accurate predictions. The KT-joint with the following parameters: λ=0.951515, δ=0.2, ψ=0.8, ζ=0.31, θ=45.15°, τ=0.60, γ=16.25, and β=0.40 had the least stress concentration factor. The KT-joint with the optimized parameters was validated through finite element analysis. The resulting percentage difference was less than 6%, indicating the applicability of the response surface methodology with high accuracy. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-06-03 Full Text: PDF
Constitutive Relations for Modelling Macro Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Published: July 2024

The increasing utilization of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) within the construction industry signifies a pivotal shift towards enhancing structural integrity and durability. Despite the predominant use of steel fibers, exploring macro synthetic fibers has gained momentum due to their potential to address critical challenges, such as workability reduction and corrosion resistance in FRC, without markedly affecting its structural performance. Among the forefronts of FRC research is developing an accurate constitutive model encompassing the diverse behavior of fibers, particularly synthetic ones. This discrepancy necessitates a distinct constitutive model for synthetic fibers to precisely characterize their tensile post-cracking behavior and regulate their design specifications. In this research, a preliminary constitutive model is derived through an inverse analysis procedure employing a Generalized Reduced Gradient (GRG) optimization method to the load-displacement results of the experimental testing of twenty ASTM C1609 beam samples. The results of the inverse analysis are used to correlate the ASTM C1609 residual flexural tensile strength parameters, fL/600 and fL/150to the stress-strain points defining the uniaxial tensile curve of macro-synthetic fibers, achieving coefficients of determination exceeding 98.5%. The model is statistically confirmed to be a valid constitutive relation for macro-synthetic fibers via successfully representing the post-cracking load-deflection behavior of standardized concrete beams, thereby outperforming traditional constitutive models in simulating the post-cracking behavior of FRC. Moreover, the model demonstrates robust predictive capabilities for the load-deflection curve of externally standardized samples, showcasing its potential for broader application in FRC design and analysis.
