Published: May 2024

Background
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people are at higher risk of mental health problems due to widespread hetero- and cisnormativity, including negative public attitudes toward the LGBTQ+ community. In addition to combating social exclusion at the societal level, strengthening the coping abilities of young LGBTQ+ people is an important goal.

Objective
In this transdiagnostic feasibility study, we tested a 6-week internet intervention program designed to increase the ability of nonclinical LGBTQ+ participants to cope with adverse events in their daily lives. The program was based on acceptance and commitment therapy principles.

Methods
The program consists of 6 web-based modules and low-intensity assistance for homework provided by a single care provider asynchronously. The design was a single-group assignment of 15 self-identified LGB community members who agreed to participate in an open trial with a single group (pre- and postintervention design).

Results
Before starting the program, participants found the intervention credible and expressed high satisfaction at the end of the intervention. Treatment adherence, operationalized by the percentage of completed homework assignments (32/36, 88%) was also high. When we compared participants’ pre- and postintervention scores, we found a significant decrease in clinical symptoms of depression (Cohen d=0.44, 90% CI 0.09-0.80), social phobia (d=0.39, 90% CI 0.07-0.72), and posttraumatic stress disorder (d=0.30, 90% CI 0.04-0.55). There was also a significant improvement in the level of self-acceptance and behavioral effectiveness (d=0.64, 90% CI 0.28-0.99) and a significant decrease in the tendency to avoid negative internal experiences (d=0.38, 90% CI 0.09-0.66). The level of general anxiety disorder (P=.11; d=0.29, 90% CI –0.10 to 0.68) and alcohol consumption (P=.35; d=–0.06, 90% CI –0.31 to 0.19) were the only 2 outcomes for which the results were not statistically significant.

Conclusions
The proposed web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program, designed to help LGBTQ+ participants better manage emotional difficulties and become more resilient, represents a promising therapeutic tool. The program could be further tested with more participants to ensure its efficacy and effectiveness.

Digital Maturity as a Predictor of Quality and Safety Outcomes in US Hospitals: Cross-Sectional Observational Study
Authors: Snowdon Anne , Hussein Abdulkadir , Danforth Melissa , Wright Alexandra , Oakes Reid 
Published: May 2024

Background
This study demonstrates that digital maturity contributes to strengthened quality and safety performance outcomes in US hospitals. Advanced digital maturity is associated with more digitally enabled work environments with automated flow of data across information systems to enable clinicians and leaders to track quality and safety outcomes. This research illustrates that an advanced digitally enabled workforce is associated with strong safety leadership and culture and better patient health and safety outcomes.

Objective
This study aimed to examine the relationship between digital maturity and quality and safety outcomes in US hospitals.

Methods
The data sources were hospital safety letter grades as well as quality and safety scores on a continuous scale published by The Leapfrog Group. We used the digital maturity level (measured using the Electronic Medical Record Assessment Model [EMRAM]) of 1026 US hospitals. This was a cross-sectional, observational study. Logistic, linear, and Tweedie regression analyses were used to explore the relationships among The Leapfrog Group's Hospital Safety Grades, individual Leapfrog safety scores, and digital maturity levels classified as advanced or fully developed digital maturity (EMRAM levels 6 and 7) or underdeveloped maturity (EMRAM level 0). Digital maturity was a predictor while controlling for hospital characteristics including teaching status, urban or rural location, hospital size measured by number of beds, whether the hospital was a referral center, and type of hospital ownership as confounding variables. Hospitals were divided into the following 2 groups to compare safety and quality outcomes: hospitals that were digitally advanced and hospitals with underdeveloped digital maturity. Data from The Leapfrog Group's Hospital Safety Grades report published in spring 2019 were matched to the hospitals with completed EMRAM assessments in 2019. Hospital characteristics such as number of hospital beds were obtained from the CMS database.

Results
The results revealed that the odds of achieving a higher Leapfrog Group Hospital Safety Grade was statistically significantly higher, by 3.25 times, for hospitals with advanced digital maturity (EMRAM maturity of 6 or 7; odds ratio 3.25, 95% CI 2.33-4.55).

Conclusions
Hospitals with advanced digital maturity had statistically significantly reduced infection rates, reduced adverse events, and improved surgical safety outcomes. The study findings suggest a significant difference in quality and safety outcomes among hospitals with advanced digital maturity compared with hospitals with underdeveloped digital maturity.
Enabling People With Intellectual and Sensory Disabilities to Trigger a Tablet’s Delivery of Task Instructions by Walking to the Tablet: Proof-of-Concept Study
Authors: Lancioni Giulio E , Singh Nirbhay N , O’Reilly Mark F , Sigafoos Jeff , Alberti Gloria , Orlando Isabella , Chiariello Valeria , Desideri Lorenzo 
Published: May 2024

Background
People with intellectual and sensory or sensory-motor disabilities tend to have problems performing multistep tasks. To alleviate their problems, technological solutions have been developed that provide task-step instructions. Instructions are generally delivered at people’s request (eg, as they touch an area of a computer or tablet screen) or automatically, at preset intervals.

Objective
This study carried out a preliminary assessment of a new tablet-based technology system that presented task-step instructions when participants with intellectual and sensory disabilities walked close to the tablet (ie, did not require participants to perform fine motor responses on the tablet screen).

Methods
The system entailed a tablet and a wireless camera and was programmed to present instructions when participants approached the tablet, that is, when the camera positioned in front of the tablet detected them. Two instructions were available for each task step. One instruction concerned the object(s) that the participants were to collect, and the other instruction concerned the “where” and “how” the object(s) collected would need to be used. For 3 of the six participants, the two instructions were presented in succession, with the second instruction presented once the required object(s) had been collected. For the other 3 participants, the two instructions were presented simultaneously. Instructions consisted of pictorial representations combined with brief verbal phrases. The impact of the system was assessed for each of the 2 groups of participants using a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across individuals.

Results
All participants were successful in using the system. Their mean frequency of correct task steps was close to or above 11.5 for tasks including 12 steps. Their level of correct performance tended to be much lower during the baseline phase when they were to receive the task-step instructions from a regular tablet through scrolling responses.

Conclusions
The findings, which need to be interpreted with caution given the preliminary nature of the study, suggest that the new tablet-based technology system might be useful for helping people with intellectual and sensory disabilities perform multistep tasks.
Концепт «степь» в романе-хронике А. М. Амур-Санана «Мудрешкин сын»
Authors:   B. B. Gorodovikov Kalmyk State University (11, A. S. Pushkin St., 358000 Elista, Russian Federation), Esenova Galina B. 
Published: May 2024

Introduction. The article is devoted to the concept of “steppe”, which is important for the Kalmyks' worldview. The purpose of the article is to study the implementation of the concept of “steppe” in a literary text. Tasks: a) identification and comparison of the meanings of the verbalizers of the concept “steppe” in the Russian and Kalmyk languages; b) analysis of the representation of the concept «steppe» in the text of the novel-chronicle by A. M. Amur-Sanan “Mudreshka’s Son”. Material: the text of the novel-chronicle by A. M. Amur-Sanan “Mudreshka’s Son”, written in Russian in 1925. Research methods: lexical and semantic analysis of linguistic units, comparative analysis of the linguistic data obtained. Results. The verbalizers of the concept of “steppe” in Russian are the lexemes “steppe” and “field”, in Kalmyk — teg, köödä, keer. Common semes of the concept actualizers in the Russian and Kalmyk languages are ‘vastness’ and ‘desolation’. Conclusions. The text of the chronicle novel uses a variety of visual and expressive means of the Russian language, revealing the characteristic features of the concept “steppe”. “Steppe” is described as a type of terrain characterized by vastness, desolation and monotony. Such a deserted, boundless, uninhabited space contributes to the formation of a feeling of loneliness, uselessness, abandonment in the hero's mind, affects his psychological state. This gives reason to believe that in the chronicle novel by A. M. Amur-Sanan “Mudreshka’s Son”, “steppe”, artistically meaningful, becomes a topos that affects the psychological state of the hero.

Published: May 2024

Reliable forecasting models are necessary to mitigate the risks posed by
solar flares to human technology. This study introduces a novel deep
learning forecasting approach while emphasizing the need for performance
evaluation methods tailored to better highlight current models’
limitations. In particular, we show that models reaching
state-of-the-art performances with traditional metrics have similar
explanatory power to no-skill persistence models and notably struggle to
forecast change in activity significantly better than random guesses. We
also discuss other shortcomings in traditional evaluation metric like
the True Skill Statistic (TSS) that we prove for the first time to be
mathematically dependent to the class balance. We introduce
Patch-Distributed-CNNs (P-CNN), which allow to perform full-disk
forecasts while providing event probabilities in solar sub-regions and
position predictions. This new framework offers similar information to
Active-Region-based forecasting models while bypassing the problem of
unrecorded and misattributed flares that are detrimental to machine
learning training. As a result, the model also operates independently of
prior feature extraction and AR detection, thus offering promising
operational utility with minimal external dependencies. Finally, a
method is proposed for constructing balanced and independent
Cross-Validation folds for full-disk models. Models combining SDO/AIA
EUV images as inputs show improved performances compared to employing
SDO/HMI photospheric magnetograms, with a TSS of 0.74 for the C+ model
and 0.62 for the M+ model.

Authors: Rivera Arteaga Eduardo 
Published: May 2024

Con el propósito de fomentar la creatividad entre los docentes del programa de la Maestría en Tecnología Informática Educativa (MTIE) de la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas (UAZ), y así contribuir a la mejora de sus programas académicos, se diseñó y aplicó un curso tipo taller centrado en el desarrollo de la creatividad. Para ello, se emplearon pretests y postests basados en el test de creatividad de Torrance. El curso se implementó en modalidad en línea, dirigido a los docentes de la MTIE, a través de la plataforma Moodle de la referida universidad. Los datos recabados fueron procesados utilizando el software SPSS, versión 25, y se aplicó la prueba estadística de Wilcoxon para dos muestras relacionadas, considerando un nivel de significancia inferior a 0.05. Sin embargo, los resultados revelaron niveles de significancia superiores a 0.05, lo que conduce a la conclusión de que no se observó un incremento significativo en la creatividad de los docentes de la MTIE. Por ende, se discuten posibles razones por las cuales no se alcanzó el objetivo propuesto, y se plantean correcciones y ajustes para obtener resultados significativos en futuras aplicaciones del curso en modalidad en línea.
Abdominocentesis and intra-abdominal pressure measurement in small animals
Authors: Munguia George G. , Thomovsky Elizabeth 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To provide a video tutorial detailing how to perform “blind” and ultrasound-guided abdominocentesis for diagnostic and therapeutic guidance, and to provide a brief demonstration of intra-abdominal pressure measurement (IAP).

ANIMALS
Any cat or dog with suspicion of free abdominal effusion or patients requiring measurement of IAP.

METHODS
Abdominocentesis should be performed when there is high suspicion for peritoneal effusion based on physical exam and/or diagnostic imaging. The 4-quadrant tap uses 20-gauge or larger needles placed blindly in ≥ 1 of the 4 quadrants of the abdomen to collect abdominal fluid. In contrast, ultrasound allows visualization of fluid in the abdomen prior to percutaneous insertion of a needle and syringe to collect fluid. Regardless of collection technique, fluid should have immediate cytologic analysis and later can be submitted for biochemical parameters, additional cellular analysis by a pathologist, and culture and sensitivity (in rare cases if indicated). Intravesicular bladder pressure measurement using a manometer–urinary catheter system approximates the IAP when there is concern for organ hypoperfusion and compartment syndrome.

RESULTS
Abdominocentesis can be performed with and without the use of ultrasound guidance. Intravesicular bladder pressure measurement is used to diagnose and trend IAP values before and after treatments are performed.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Abdominocentesis is a simple and safe technique that all small animal clinicians should be comfortable performing. Effusion sampling can guide further diagnostics and treatments. Measurement of IAP is simple and requires no specialized equipment.

Authors: Alkhazraji Ibrahim Abdulla Mohammad Aldallal , Yahya Mohd Yamani bin 
Published: May 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of big data analytics (BDA) on predictive policing, particularly examining the mediating role of crisis management in this relationship.

Theoretical Framework: The research is anchored in the domain of big data analytics, focusing on its application within law enforcement for enhancing predictive policing capabilities. The study explores how crisis management serves as a linkage between data analytics and predictive policing practices.

Method: The study gathered data from 450 individuals working across various police departments in Dubai, utilizing a questionnaire to collect responses. The analytical approach was based on Structural Equation Modeling, conducted using AMOS software.

Results and Discussion: Findings from the research indicate that big data analytics significantly boosts predictive policing and crisis management. Importantly, crisis management was identified as a mediating factor between big data analytics and its efficacy in predictive policing. These results suggest that big data analytics not only directly enhances predictive policing but also improves it indirectly through effective crisis management.

Research Implications: This study underscores the importance of integrating big data analytics into police operations to advance predictive policing capabilities. It highlights the dual benefits of big data analytics in both direct application and enhancement through crisis management processes.

Originality/Value: This research contributes to the limited but growing body of literature on the application of big data analytics in predictive policing. It offers practical guidelines for police forces, especially within the UAE, to better harness big data for improving their operational effectiveness and crisis management strategies. The study also discusses broader implications for both practice and ongoing research in this evolving field.
Flax lines of hybrid origin homozygous for genes of chlorophyll coloration and other morphological traits in the VIR flax genetic collection
Authors: Porokhovinova E. A. , Dubovskaya A. G. 
Published: May 2024

Due to climate change and the industrialization of agriculture, the role of genetic collections is increasing. The paper characterizes 41 flax lines with mutations regarding chlorophyll coloration from the VIR genetic collection: 5 parental lines created on the basis of the VIR global flax collection, and 36 recombinant ones.Among the 36 created recombinant lines, homozygous for two or more genes of morphological traits, there are those with chlorophyll deficiency and differences in anthocyanin color, stem shape and ciliation of the septa of the boll. Anthocyanin coloration and other morphological features were controlled by one or two of the 22 genes identified by us. Four of the recombinant lines were also homozygous for two or three independent chlorophyll coloration genes.It was established that the genes of chlorophyll coloration and 22 genes controlling other morphological features act independently.The ygp1 and ygp2 genes do not have a significant effect on most economically valuable traits, except for early flowering, and can be used for labeling varieties.The genes s1, YSED1, ysed2 and rs1, which determine the yellow seed color, are necessary for the creation of flax varieties for food purposes, which makes the 11 lines based on these genes in demand for breeding purposes.In flax, the molecular genetic function of none of the chlorophyll coloration genes is known, so the created genetic collection will be in demand to solve this problem.
Studies of the molecular mechanisms of grape (<i>Vitis vinifera</i> L.) resistance to low-temperature stress
Authors: Erastenkova M. V. , Tikhonova N. G. , Ukhatova Yu V. 
Published: May 2024

Abiotic stressors are the main factors limiting the expansion of territories occupied by grape plantations. Industrial viticulture is concentrated in the south of Russia and is limited by climatic factors that do not allow large-scale production in other regions of the country.The present review considers the molecular mechanisms of resistance to low-temperature stress and discusses the role of the main genes determining the ability of plants to survive and acclimatize during a critical temperature drop.One of the most studied ways of responding to cold stress is the interaction of genes in the ICE-CBF-COR cascade, however, a more accurate understanding of the genes responsible for resistance to abiotic environments specifically in grapes requires additional studies. A series of studies of functions of transcription factors and related genes of response to low-temperature stress in various species (Arabidopsis, tea, orange, blueberry, and grape) have identified four main regulons: 1) CBF/DREB, 2) NAC/ZF-HD, 3) AREB/ABF, and 4) MYC/MYB. Studies have demonstrated the function of the HOS1 gene, which negatively regulates the work of ICE1 (a key resistance factor). The review considers candidate genes in various species of annual plants: ICE1, HOS1, SIZ1, MPK3, MPK6, in families of genes: CBF, COR, RD 29A, LTI78, ERD, LEA; DREB1, ADREB1B; WRKY10, and in perennial crops: ICE1, CBF1, HSP70, SUS1, GST, DHN1, BMY5, BHLH102, GR-RBP3, ICE1, GOLS1, GOLS3; CBF; COR27, RD29B, NCED1, ERF105, ZAT10, SAP15, WRKY3, and LEA.Until recently, interspecific hybridization was the leading method for obtaining cold-resistant grape varieties. The main donor of resistance is V. аmurensis Rupr. Recently, the research focused on the genetic basis of grape resistance to low temperatures is actively developing. For instance, a comparative analysis of the transcriptomes of two species contrasting in this trait, i.e. V. amurensis, resistant to low temperatures, and V. vinifera L. with low cold resistance, made it possible to identify three additional candidate genes with an increased expression in response to exposure to low temperatures, namely CBF3, ERF105 and ZAT10. At the same time, the practical application of modern accelerated breeding methods requires the identification of all additional key genes responsible for resistance to low-temperature stress. The components from the cascade of sequentially expressing ICE–CBF–COR genes (ICE1, ICE2, CBF1, CBF2, CBF3, and HOS1) have been selected as candidate genes.
