Background: Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a relatively rare type of ectopic pregnancy and has no standardized guidelines for management.Methods: This systematic review is based on the collection of case reports, published in PubMed/MEDLINE about the resolution of ectopic cervical pregnancies over the last decade and the presentation of a case managed in our healthcare unit. Studies involving cervical pregnancy in the first trimester with the presence of a viable embryo and β-hCG in the serum below 100.000 mIU/mL were included, while heterotopic pregnancies were excluded.Results: Nineteen articles reporting twenty-three case reports are demonstrated explicitly emphasizing on the management techniques. There is no established approach for the management of this type of ectopic pregnancy.Conclusion: It is important to consider the conservative approaches as first-line treatment in all cases of cervical pregnancy preserving fertility. Minimally invasive methods are also described and preferred as second-line treatment, as reported in our literature review.

Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE
To conduct an implementation evaluation of the virtual family-centered rounds (FCR) intervention by exploring the perceptions and experiences of parents and care team providers.

METHODS
We conducted a qualitative descriptive study using a thematic analysis of unobtrusive observations of rounding encounters and semi-structured interviews with the parents of discharged infants and members of the neonatal care team. Eligible participants had used virtual FCR at least once. Five research team members independently performed focused coding and memo writing of transcripts and observation fieldnotes. The team met weekly to compare and refine codes, update the interview guide, develop tentative categories, and discuss the theoretical direction.

RESULTS
We conducted 406 minutes of unobtrusive observations and 21 interviews with parents, physicians, neonatal nurse practitioners, bedside nurses, dieticians, and pharmacists. Three themes and 13 subthemes emerged from the analysis: (1) virtual FCR improved perceived care delivery and clinical outcomes through increased opportunities for parent engagement, (2) the acceptance of virtual FCR by providers grew over time despite the persistent presence of technical challenges, and (3) the implementation of virtual FCR should be standardized and delivered by the care team to enhance usability, effectiveness, and sustainability.

CONCLUSIONS
Virtual FCR is perceived by NICU parents and care team providers to be a valuable intervention that can enhance family centered care. The identified virtual FCR implementation strategies should be tested in further studies.

Published: May 2024

Justificativa e objetivo: A dor fantasma (DF) é uma complicação comum da amputação de extremidades, com prevalência entre 41% e 46% dos casos. Apesar de sua fisiopatologia incerta, evidências sugerem mecanismos multifatoriais para explicar o fenômeno doloroso, que afeta diretamente a qualidade de vida do indivíduo. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o efeito de um protocolo de telefisioterapia para DF na qualidade de vida, intensidade e percepção da dor de indivíduos amputados de extremidades. Método: Estudo quasi-experimental com abordagem quali-quantitativa, com amostra composta por nove indivíduos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Questionário de Dor de McGill, a Escala Verbal de Dor (EVD), o Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) e ficha de avaliação elaborada no formato de entrevista, todos aplicados antes e após o protocolo de tratamento. A intervenção constituiu de uma adaptação ao protocolo de Imagens Motoras Graduadas (IMG); realizado de forma on-line pela plataforma GoogleMeet. A análise quantitativa se deu através do teste de Wilcoxon pareado para variáveis não paramétricas e correlação de Pearson. A abordagem qualitativa foi analisada pelo método de análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Não houve diferença significativa nos parâmetros de qualidade de vida e intensidade da dor pré e pós tratamento, porém houve diminuição significativa da percepção de dor total e nos componentes emocionais, o que também foi evidenciado nos relatos qualitativos. Conclusão: O protocolo adaptado de IMG diminuiu significativamente a percepção de dor, especialmente no aspecto emocional, sem resultados significativos na intensidade da dor e qualidade de vida dos indivíduos.

Published: May 2024

The article examines the modern paradigm of education diplomacy through the elements of public diplomacy instead of classical understanding of diplomacy, namely, the formation of the image of an educational institution, interpersonal relations of participants in the educational process and the definition of new content in the global educational space. Besides, a discourse analysis is conducted, the main tasks of education diplomacy are formulated and defined. The methodological foundations of education diplomacy functioning are considered basing on generalizations of the experience and observations covering this issue, which indicate the multi-vector nature and relevance of the proposed research. Ukraine takes an important place in the development of global education diplomacy, due to positioning itself as a country of cultural and educational values on the international arena. The expert opinions of scientists studying the issue of education diplomacy from the point of view of current development, advantages and challenges are given in the article. An integral part of education is scientific diplomacy, which has been gaining special relevance, since the publication and content of educational and scientific literature determine not only education in general, but also the educational and informational context of the country, in particular. Emphasizing positive trends and achievements in the field of education diplomacy, the authors, on the other hand, listed some problems and challenges in Ukraine, proposed relevant conclusions regarding the in-depth study of the issue. The result of the research was the proposed cluster model of educational diplomacy.

Authors: Kaniņa Inguna 
Published: May 2024

Some of the main challenges in contemporary education systems are decrease of students learning motivation, students, who don’t engage in academic work and early school leaving. In Latvia the percentage of early school leavers still remains high. Main factors reported as the reason for early school leaving were not only risks related to students personality traits, family or social environment, but also risks related to school environment, diverging comprehension of the problems related to at-risk youth among teachers and school staff and different approaches within each school to prevent early school leaving. The method used in the research was questionnaires (with closed and open questions). 195 teachers from comprehensive schools (all districts) in Latvia were involved. The main goal of the research is to analyze teachers comprehension and assessment on early school leaving risks related to school environment and to analyze teachers views about possibilities to identify at-risk youth at an early stage. Another goal of the research is to create a sustainable action plan, to reduce early school leaving risks related to school environment

Authors: Das Sudipa , Singh D. K. 
Published: May 2024

The genus Calypogeia Raddi is represented in India by six species (Singh, 2001). All the six species are found in Eastern Himalaya with three species, C. aeruginosa Mitt., C. fissa (L.) Raddi and C. marginella Mitt., restricted to this region alone in Indian bryoflora. Of the remaining three, C. arguta Nees &Â Mont. is common to Eastern Himalaya, Central India, South India and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands; C. azurea Stotler & Crotz occurs in both Eastern and Western Himalaya and South India and C. lunata Mitt. is common to Eastern as well as Western Himalaya (Mitten, 1861; Chopra, 1943; Sharma & Srivastava, 1993; Singh & al., 2008). During the course of study on the liverworts and hornworts of Mehao Wildlife Sanctuary in Arunachal Pradesh, Eastern Himalaya, the authors came across an interesting species of the genus Calypogeia Raddi. Detailed morphotaxonomic study of the species and study of relevant literature (Bischler, 1962a, 1962b; Srivastava & Sharma, 1986; Sharma & Srivastava, 1993; Paton, 1999) revealed it to be a hitherto undescribed species of the genus. The same has been described and illustrated as C. udarii in the present communication.

Published: May 2024

Integer Linear Programming is a mathematical model that allows the results of solving cases in linear programming in the form of integers. Methods to solve Integer Programming problems include the Branch and Bound Method and the Gomory Cutting Plane Method. Both of these methods have certain rules for adding new constraint functions until an optimal solution to an integer is obtained. The purpose of this study is to optimize the profits of the production of UMKM Capal Classic Shoes Kab. Agam by using the Branch and Bound method and the Gomory Cutting Plane method and analyzing the comparison of optimal results resulting from the two methods. The data used in the study are data on raw materials for making classic sandals and profit data. The results obtained by these two methods produce the same maximum profit, namely RP. 664,000 with each producing 15 pairs of men's sandals and 13 pairs of women's sandals. But in its completion, the Branch and Bound method requires many iterations and a longer time compared to the Gumory Cutting plane method.

Authors: Panjaitan Widya , Cipta Hendra 
Published: May 2024

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease caused by increased levels of glucose or blood sugar. Diabetes Mellitus is divided into three different types: type I diabetes, type II diabetes, and gestational diabetes or diabetes during pregnancy. Type 2 diabetes mellitus affects 90–95% of diabetics. The aim of this research is to identify related factors that influence Type II Diabetes Mellitus by applying the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) Method. The model with the lowest Generalized Cross-Validation (GCV) score among the models constructed is considered the best model. The research findings show that BF=10, MI=3, and MO=0 are the optimal parameter combinations for the MARS model with a GCV value of 0,09582998 . According to research using MARS, the predictor variables with an 89.33% classification accuracy that affect the blood glucose levels of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients include Age (X1), Gender (X2), Blood Pressure (X3), and Comorbidities (X5).
Small Glove Size and Female Gender Are Associated with Greater Reported Difficulty Using Orthopaedic Instruments Among Residents
Authors: Lurie Benjamin , Albanese Jessica , Allenback Gayle , Elliott Iain , Nelson Karen 
Published: May 2024

Introduction:
Smaller hand size has been shown to affect ease of instrument use and surgeon injury rates in multiple surgical subspecialties. Women have a smaller average hand size and are more often affected by this issue than men. The goal of this resident survey was to investigate whether hand size and gender impact self-reported difficulty with instrument use among orthopaedic surgery residents.

Methods:
Residents were surveyed about how often they experience difficulty using common orthopaedic instruments. Self-reported difficulty using surgical instruments was compared between residents with small glove (SG, outer ≤7.0) vs. large glove (LG, ≥ 7.5) sizes and between male and female residents.

Results:
One hundred forty-five residents (118 males and 27 females) completed the survey for a response rate of 3.7%. The SG group contained 35 residents, with 26 females and 9 males. The LG group contained 110 residents, with 1 female and 109 males. The SG group reported more difficulty than the LG group when using 3/6 instruments: the wire-cutting pliers (71.4% vs. 25.5%), universal T-handle chuck (65.7% vs. 21.4%), and large wire driver (60.0% vs. 24.8%). Female residents reported more difficulty than males for 5/6 instruments. Within the SG group, however, there was no difference in self-reported difficulty between female SG and male SG residents for 4/6 instruments.

Conclusions:
The predominantly male LG group reported significantly less difficulty than the more gender mixed though still predominantly female SG group. A subanalysis comparing males and females within the SG group found that there was no difference between SG female and SG male residents for 4/6 of the instruments, suggesting that glove size might impact reported difficulty independently from gender. Although the effect of glove size vs. gender is difficult to differentiate in this study, the high rate of difficulty experienced by male and female residents in the SG group should be considered by residency programs, surgeon educators, and instrument manufacturers as the field of orthopaedic surgery continues to become more diverse.

Capacitive Sensing for Natural Environment Biomechanics Monitoring

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Inexpensive wearable sensors could transform how we monitor patient movement outside of the laboratory and help personalize the treatment of mobility impairments[1]. To meet these expectations, wearable sensors must be benchmarked against clinical standards, provide reliable data over extended periods of time, be robust to placement errors by non-experts, and offer tangible translational potential. Inertial sensing is one of the only wearable technologies that have been comprehensively characterized and benchmarked against gold-standard biomechanical measurements, but it remains sensitive to both drift and placement error[2–4] and does not capture muscle activity, which is relevant to both mobility impairments and the development of assistive wearables. Here we investigate capacitive sensing[5] as a muscle-activity monitoring technology, finding for the first time that it can accurately track changes in muscle bulging and fiber length with the fidelity of laboratory tools, in natural environments, over long durations, on multiple body parts, and across people of varying compositions. We also demonstrate translational potential in two clinical applications and show that capacitive sensing complements inertial sensing better than electromyography in multimodal wearable-sensing systems, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy for wearable motion tracking. Our results indicate that capacitive sensing wearables could be used synergistically with other emerging wearable technologies to provide real-time feedback and make rehabilitation monitoring outside of laboratory environments more feasible[6]. We expect this foundational study of capacitive sensing for natural environment biomechanics monitoring—combining wearable sensor design, human experiments, biomechanical modeling, multimodal data fusion, magnetic resonance imaging, and clinical research—to be applicable to a wide range of mobility-related pathologies and emerging human-in-the-loop assistive devices[7–9].
Touch-Driven Advantages in Reaction Time but not Performance in a Cross-Sensory Comparison of Reinforcement Learning

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Previous research has highlighted a notable confidence bias in the haptic sense, yet its impact on learning relative to other senses remains unexplored. This online study investigated learning behaviors across visual, auditory, and haptic modalities using a probabilistic selection task on computers and mobile devices, employing dynamic, ecologically valid stimuli to enhance generalizability. We analyzed reaction time as an indicator of confidence, alongside learning speed and task accuracy. Results revealed the fastest reaction times with haptic stimuli, suggesting heightened perceptual confidence, whereas visual stimuli were the slowest, and auditory stimuli were intermediate. Despite these differences, all modalities demonstrated consistent learning speeds and accuracies. These findings support the 'common currency' hypothesis of perceptual confidence, facilitating modality-independent meta-representations for efficient decision-making. Additionally, reaction times were significantly faster on touch-based mobile devices compared to computers, underscoring the metacognitive efficiency of haptic feedback in technology-enhanced environments. The combination of faster reaction time in the haptic modality without sacrificing accuracy and the enhanced efficiency of touch-based interfaces advocates for the integration of haptics in technological designs to boost efficiency while maintaining a high level of precision.

Abstract

Lenia, a cellular automata framework used in artificial life, provides a natural setting to implement mathematical models of cancer incorporating features such as morphogenesis, homeostasis, motility, reproduction, growth, stimuli response, evolvability, and adaptation. Historically, agent-based models of cancer progression have been constructed with rules that govern birth, death and migration, with attempts to map local rules to emergent global growth dynamics. In contrast, Lenia provides a flexible framework for considering a spectrum of local (cell-scale) to global (tumor-scale) dynamics by defining an interaction kernel governing density-dependent growth dynamics. Lenia can recapitulate a range of cancer model classifications including local or global, deterministic or stochastic, non-spatial or spatial, single or multi-population, and off or on-lattice. Lenia is subsequently used to develop data-informed models of 1) single-population growth dynamics, 2) multi-population cell-cell competition models, and 3) cell migration or chemotaxis. Mathematical modeling provides important mechanistic insights. First, short-range interaction kernels provide a mechanism for tumor cell survival under conditions with strong Allee effects. Next, we find that asymmetric interaction tumor-immune kernels lead to poor immune response. Finally, modeling recapitulates immune-ECM interactions where patterns of collagen formation provide immune protection, indicated by an emergent inverse relationship between disease stage and immune coverage.
