Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Repeated applications of short-term dietary assessment instruments are recommended for estimating usual dietary intake. For this purpose, NutriDiary, a smartphone app for collecting weighed dietary records (WDRs) in the German population, was developed.

Objective
We aim to describe NutriDiary and evaluate its usability and acceptability.

Methods
NutriDiary was developed as a WDR, allowing users to enter food items via text search, barcode scanning, or free text entry. The sample for the evaluation study included 74 participants (n=51, 69% female, aged 18‐64 years), including 27 (37.5%) experts and 47 (63.5%) laypersons (including n=22, 30%, nutrition students). Participants completed a 1-day WDR and entered a predefined sample meal (n=17 foods) the following day by using NutriDiary. An evaluation questionnaire was answered from which the system usability scale (SUS) score (0‐100) was calculated. A backward selection procedure (PROC REG in SAS; SAS Institute) was used to identify potential predictors for the SUS score (age, sex, status [expert or laypersons], and operating system [iOS or Android]).

Results
The median SUS score of 75 (IQR 63‐88) indicated good usability. Age was the only characteristic identified as a potential predictor for a lower SUS score (P<.001). The median completion time for an individual WDR was 35 (IQR 19‐52) minutes. Older participants took longer to enter the data than younger ones (18‐30 y: median 1.5, IQR 1.1‐2.0 min/item vs 45‐64 y: median 1.8, IQR 1.3‐2.3 min/item). Most participants expressed a preference for NutriDiary over the traditional paper-based method.

Conclusions
Good usability and acceptability make NutriDiary promising for use in epidemiological studies.

Published: February 2025

Choosing a Qur’anic method of learning is very important for the younger generation who are trying to be able to read the Holy Book correctly. Researchers in this case are interested in studying alternative religious education, namely Inter-Maghrib-Isha Al-Quran Learning as an effort to eradicate Koran illiteracy for children and teenagers. The research aim is to: (1) Describe the typology of Al-Quran learning methods used in recitation between Maghrib-Isha at TPQ Al-Ittihad and TPQ As-Sa'adah Muara Tebo, (2) describe the impact of using the method on students' success in each TPQ. To achieve the above objectives, descriptive qualitative research approach is used. Data collection methods through observation, interviews and documentation. And checking the data validity is by using triangulation. The results of the research are: (1) Al-Quran learning at TPQ Al-Ittihad uses the Iqro' method, one of the well-known methods used in various recitations between Maghrib and Isha throughout the country. Meanwhile, TPQ As-Sa'adah prefers to use the Tilawati method which is no less famous in Indonesia. (2) The two methods used in the two TPQs have so far had a positive impact, marked by the students' ability to recognize Al-Qur'an letters, students’ confident, and teachers’guidelines in learning quality improvment.

Keywords: typology; method; inter Maghrib-Isha Qur’anic learning
Lung Function Impairment and Risks of Incident Cardiovascular Diseases and Mortality Among People With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Chen Chaolei , Huang Zehan , Liu Lin , Su Bingbing , Feng Yingqing , Huang Yuqing 
Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVE
Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) frequently exhibit impaired lung function, potentially accelerating the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD), although prospective studies remain limited. We aimed to explore the relationship between lung function impairment and risk of CVD and mortality within this high-risk population.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This prospective study included 16,242 participants with T2D and free of CVD from the UK Biobank. Obstructive physiology (OP), restrictive physiology (RP), and preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) were defined using spirometry, including forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC). Fine-Gray subdistribution hazards models and Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate risks of CVD and all-cause mortality, respectively.

RESULTS
During a median follow-up of 13.9 years, 2,825 incident cases of CVD and 2,811 deaths were documented. Lower FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio, FEV1 percent predicted, and FVC percent predicted were related to higher risks of CVD and all-cause mortality. Compared with preserved lung function, the adjusted subdistribution hazard ratios (HRs) for CVD were 1.19 (95% CI 1.05–1.35) for OP and 1.47 (95% CI 1.33–1.65) for RP. Compared with the control group, the subdistribution HRs for CVD were 1.20 (95% CI 1.06–1.36) for OP and 1.43 (95% CI 1.29–1.59) for PRISm. These associations were consistent across subgroups and sensitivity analyses. Adding lung function measurements significantly enhanced the performance of CVD prediction beyond the SCORE2-Diabetes model.

CONCLUSIONS
Lung function impairment was associated with increased risks of CVD and all-cause mortality among individuals with T2D.
Short Term Outcome and Associated factor Among Stroke Patien Given Trombolysis
Authors: Bentrez Florilyn Joyce C 
Published: February 2025

The study aimed to investigate the short-term outcome and associated factors among acute ischemic stroke patients given rTPA (Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator). This is a hospital-based cross-sectional retrospective study among 107 acute stroke patients given rTPA for a span of 3 years. A favorable outcome is defined as the modified Rankin Scale (MRS) 0 to 2, while a score > 2 is defined as a poor outcome. Mortality and adverse events were also documented. The majority (57%) had favorable outcomes on discharge. Initial stroke severity, stroke etiology, and presence of symptomatic Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) were significant factors for discharge outcome. There was no significance as to age group and as to needle time of 0-3 hours versus 3-4.5 hours. The symptomatic ICH rate is 5.6%. The overall mortality rate is 15.88% (47% due to malignant infarction, 17.6% due to symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), 23.52% due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO), and 11.7% due to medical causes). With a dose of 0.6mg/kg, our data indicate favorable discharge outcomes of thrombolysis. A high baseline NIHSS, cardioembolic stroke etiology, and the presence of sICH are seen in patients with poor outcomes. The rate of sICH is consistent with other literature, however with high mortality (100%). Overall mortality is high primarily due to malignant infarct. Institutions must be capacitated to address outcomes and complications of thrombolysis.

In the current media convergence era, businesses must be agile to remain in their industries and compete with competitors. One of the most promising strategies is brand community, which helps strengthen connection with customers. One of the businesses that has managed to keep up a brand community since 2017 is Bank CIMB Niaga. The focus of this research is to explore how Bank CIMB Niaga's brand community has grown also how the differences in communication messages through community activities and the official account @kejarmimpi.id on Instagram. To ascertain the variations in message depending on the central route and peripheral route, this study applies the Elaboration Likelihood Model theory. The method used is quantitative with a case study approach with data collection techniques through observation and documentation. The results of the study show that brand community packages messages with an emphasis on the central route on community activities that pay attention to the quality of the message and its relevance to the audience. On the other hand, brand community packages messages with an emphasis on the peripheral route on content shared on Instagram social media where it pays more attention to the attractiveness of content writing and the attractiveness of a Key Opinion Leaders (KOL). Overall, this study shows that CIMB Niaga's brand community can still exist because it has succeeded in packaging messages effectively by considering the audience's elaboration rutes.

Authors: Santaella Maria E , Nichols Cynthia D , Witkop Michelle 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction
Web-based registries are essential tools for gathering patient-reported information for research purposes. The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation recognised and responded to the imperative to actively include persons with inheritable bleeding disorders and their immediate family members, as Lived Experience Experts (LEEs), in all aspects of the research process. Consequently, Community Voices in Research (CVR) was developed and launched with the aims of creating a LEE-centred approach to complement existing research efforts, highlighting mechanisms to actively incorporate them, and using the data collected to identify relevant gaps in knowledge.

Methods
The evolution of CVR reflects active LEE involvement in its development. CVR, a community-powered registry, collects information through electronic surveys to understand the unique LEE experience and incorporate it into research. Information collected includes demographics, social determinants of health, access to care, diagnosis, symptoms, pain, and mental health. A Personalised Dashboard engages LEEs by providing data collected and linking them to educational resources and other research opportunities.

Results

CVR provides several mechanisms that allow LEEs to actively engage in different facets of the research process. LEEs share their experiences through timely surveys, and access publications using CVR data, opportunities to participate in other projects, and advisory boards.

Conclusions

CVR is a vehicle to collect both historical and contemporary data directly from LEEs to address research gaps. CVR provides researchers with a better understanding of the needs of LEEs and incorporates their unique and important perspectives in research, education, and advocacy.

Published: February 2025

Background
Overweight/obesity is an important risk factor for liver disease, affecting changes in liver function-related parameters. The fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene has been reported to have a link between overweight/obesity and liver fat metabolism. We studied the association of FTO rs9939609 variants with liver function-related parameters and overweight/obesity in Chinese adolescents aged 16 to 26 as freshmen.

Methods
We examined rs9939609 polymorphisms in 198 control and 173 overweight/obese people, and the genotypes of the samples were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. We investigated the effects of FTO gene polymorphism on overweight/obesity and liver function-related parameters.

Results
The values of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in overweight/obesity group were significantly higher than those in control group. The rs9939609 AA genotype increased the risk of overweight/obesity by 3.45 times independent of body mass index (BMI) compared with TT genotype, the rs9939609 (AA) genotype was significantly associated with AST and ALT.

Conclusion
FTO rs9939609 variants were associated with overweight/obesity and overweight/obesity has a significant influence on the increased liver function-related parameters. The rs9939609 (AA) positively correlated with AST and ALT levels. Overweight/obese patients should pay more attention to liver function-related parameters.

Published: February 2025

В статье рассматривается возможность обеспечения технологической безопасности страны как одного из основных видов экономической безопасности в рамках необходимости перехода к шестому технологическому укладу посредством создания и функционирования экосистем. Описана эволюция понятия «экосистема» в исследованиях зарубежных и отечественных авторов, современные подходы к пониманию организации бизнеса в рамках экосистем и выделены её основные элементы.
Introduction. The new technological mode, transition to the digital world, geopolitical instability and development of information and communication technologies – all this proves that the previous forms of organizing the socio-economic activity are no longer sufficient for achieving sustainable development of a country. Ensuring national economic security is the minimum condition necessary for the existence of any country. Safeguarding the country's technological security as one of the economic security components is becoming a priority in the current realities. The purpose of the study is to review theoretical approaches to defining the concept of ecosystem, as well as substantiate the impact of the ecosystem on the economic security of the country. The methodology of the study was based on the analysis of foreign and domestic scientific literature on the formation and functioning of ecosystems. Results. The emergence of ecosystems is a logical, natural stage in economic development. Ensuring the nation’s technological development, an ecosystem has a positive impact on the socio-economic activities of both an individual region and the country as a whole. The review of international and domestic research literature has shown that there is no single, generally accepted definition of the ecosystemconcept. We find the definition proposed by G. B. Kleiner to be the most capacious one: the author defines the boundaries of the ecosystem, specifies its elements, and describes the mechanisms of interaction between the elements within it. Conclusion. A technological development ecosystem as a set of elements (finance, policy, culture, human capital, support system and markets) and their interactions with each other contributes to its self-development and self-regulation, and will also allow for a chain of societal changes (technological – economic – social – political) for the sake of sustainable development of the country.

Introduction. Amidst rapid and continuous change, management requires managers to be flexible, capable of quick decision-making and adaptable to new situations. It is essential not only to have a clear strategy and goals, but also to be prepared at all times to adjust them in response to the changing environment. The purpose of the work is to develop a methodological approach to transformation in companies on the basis of an integrated system of process-based management, internal control and risk management. Methods. The theoretical basis of the study includes various theories and concepts that help to explain how changes occur and how they can be managed: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, Lev Vygotsky's theory of change, Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann's theory of social constructivism, Donella Meadows' theory of system change, René Thom's theory of catastrophic changes. Results. A target vision of a trading company's unified business architecture model was presented using the example of logistics processes. In order to demonstrate the effect of the target unified business architecture of a trading company, the authors considered a process robotization program aimed at the automation of routine and repetitive manual processes using the RPA (Robotic Process Automation) technology. To assess the effectiveness of the process robotization program, indicators were calculated. Operational cost savings due to a decreased number of staff needed were estimated at 14-18 million roubles in year. The net present value (NPV) of the robotization program over five years amounted to 10,416 thousand rubles, the payback period was 1 year 7 months. Conclusion. The implementation of process automation projects as part of digital transformation programs assists companies in becoming more efficient, innovative and competitive in today’s digital economy.

Time-Varying Connectedness Between Global Uncertainties and Economic Activity in a Developing Economy Using a Dynamic Conditional Correlation — GARCH Model
Authors: Abdulai M. G. , Salakpi A. , Mahama I. 
Published: February 2025

As economies become increasingly interconnected, individual economies are at risk of shocks from external uncertainties ranging from fluctuations in climate regulations to geopolitical conflicts and international economic policies.The purpose of the study is to investigate the time-varying correlation between global uncertainties (e. g., global economic policy uncertainty, climate policy uncertainty and geopolitical risk) and economic activity in a developing economy using a dynamic conditional correlation generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model.The relevance of the research lies in the increasing interconnectedness of global economies and the subsequent exposure of individual economies to external shocks.The scientific novelty is hinged on the study being among the first to study the relationship in Ghana. Using monthly data for the 2002–2022 period for Ghana, we estimate a multivariate GARCH model.The results of the study indicate that climate policy uncertainty and global economic policy uncertainty are mean reverting, implying that the volatility of the variables decay slowly and persists for a longer time such that the conditional variance will eventually return to its long-term average level after being disturbed by shocks. Global uncertainties over time are strongly negatively correlated with economic activity and produce significant spikes, especially during periods of major world events.The study recommends that policymakers need to consider the prolonged impact of global uncertainties on economic performance when designing economic policies and interventions. The significant spikes during major global events highlight the importance of crisis management and preparedness in maintaining economic stability during periods of heightened uncertainty.
