Published: May 2024

Background
The Pneumonia Score Index (PSI) was developed to estimate the risk of dying within 30 days of presentation for community-acquired pneumonia patients and is a strong predictor of 30-day mortality after COVID-19. However, three of its required 20 variables (skilled nursing home, altered mental status and pleural effusion) are not discreetly available in the electronic medical record (EMR), resulting in manual chart review for these 3 factors. The goal of this study is to compare a simplified 17-factor version (PSI-17) to the original (denoted PSI-20) in terms of prediction of 30-day mortality in COVID-19.

Methods
In this retrospective cohort study, the hospitalized patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between 2/28/20–5/28/20 were identified to compare the predictive performance between PSI-17 and PSI-20. Correlation was assessed between PSI-17 and PSI-20, and logistic regressions were performed for 30-day mortality. The predictive abilities were compared by discrimination, calibration, and overall performance.

Results
Based on 1,138 COVID-19 patients, the correlation between PSI-17 and PSI-20 was 0.95. Univariate logistic regression showed that PSI-17 had performance similar to PSI-20, based on AUC, ICI and Brier Score. After adjusting for confounding variables by multivariable logistic regression, PSI-17 and PSI-20 had AUCs (95% CI) of 0.85 (0.83–0.88) and 0.86 (0.84–0.89), respectively, indicating no significant difference in AUC at significance level of 0.05.

Conclusion
PSI-17 and PSI-20 are equally effective predictors of 30-day mortality in terms of several performance metrics. PSI-17 can be obtained without the manual chart review, which allows for automated risk calculations within an EMR. PSI-17 can be easily obtained and may be a comparable alternative to PSI-20.

El cáncer de cuello uterino es una de las principales causas de muerte en las mujeres. Se trata de una patología prevenible y curable gracias a su detección temprana a través de la prueba de VPH y la prueba de Papanicolaou. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar cuáles de aquellas mujeres que consultaron por diferentes motivos en dos de los centros de salud de la Ciudad de Santa Fe, tenían realizado un PAP en los últimos tres años. Adicionalmente, se compararon la distribución por edades de las mujeres tamizadas en estos dos centros de salud. Durante el año 2021 consultaron 1773 mujeres, el rango de edad fue de 25 a 65 años, con una edad media de 38 años en ambos casos (RIQ 17) para ambos centros de salud. Se observó una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (<0,001) entre las mujeres con PAP que asistieron al CAPS A (n= 521; 58%) y las del CAPS B (n= 408; 47%). La cobertura de tamizaje de forma oportunista resulta insuficiente en los centros de salud estudiados. El tamizaje podría resultar más efectivo si formara parte de la práctica de todos los servicios de atención primaria y no solo de los correspondientes a salud sexual y reproductiva, y si se buscara de manera activa a las mujeres con riesgo de padecer CCU, ya que en su mayoría estas quedan fuera de la consulta espontánea.

Published: May 2024

La diabetes gestacional (DG) es la alteración metabólica más frecuente asociada al embarazo y el hijo de madre diabética gestacional (HMDG) presenta mayor probabilidad de complicaciones neonatales. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es determinar la prevalencia de trastornos neonatales en HMDG. Realizamos este estudio de casos y controles en el Centro Perinatológico de Santa Fe, desde el 01/10/2017 hasta el 01/08/2018. Población conformada por 254 pacientes: 127 RN HMDG (casos) y 127 controles RN HMnD (hijos de madre no diabética). Todos los RN fueron examinados por neonatólogos y estudiados con Ecocardiografía Doppler color. Se midieron y compararon las complicaciones neonatales en ambos grupos. Observamos: 1) Morbilidad Metabólica en los RN expuestos: 25,9% vs 7,08%, OR: 4,6; IC95%: 2,09-10,09), p<0,001. 2) Morbilidad Respiratoria 18,1% vs 7,08% OR: 2,85; IC 95%: 1,26- 6,43) p<0,001. 3) Hospitalización Neonatal 26,6% vs 5,5% en el grupo control OR: 6, IC: 2,54-14,2, p= 0,0001. 4) Defectos Congénitos, incluidas cardiopatías congénitas, no se observaron diferencias de significación entre los grupos estudiados. El trastorno metabólico más frecuente fue hipoglucemia neonatal (11,8% vs 4,7%) OR: 2,7; IC: 1,01- 7.2 p= 0,04. síndrome de dificultad respiratoria transitoria (10,2 vs 3,1 %) OR: 3,5 IC: 1,11-11,06) p=0,01. En suma: los HMD presentaron mayor morbilidad metabólica, respiratoria y hospitalización neonatal. DG es una enfermedad prevalente, por lo que es necesario el abordaje integral de estas gestantes con los adecuados controles prenatales y la disposición del equipo de salud para la asistencia neonatal.

AbstractWe developed a test to evaluate badminton‐specific endurance. The study included 10 female badminton players. Five participants were ranked in Japan's top 100 national rankings (ranked), whereas the others were unranked (unranked). Participants reacted quickly with badminton‐specific steps from the base center to the four sensors at each corner of a singles badminton court. On each set, they reacted eight times to randomized instructions at stage‐specific intervals (1.2, 1.0, and 0.8 s for stages 1, 2, and 3, respectively), which were performed six times with a rest of 20 s in each stage (8 movements × 6 sets × 3 stages). On a different day, participants ran on a treadmill as a comparative test. Blood lactate concentration (BLa) was measured on each test. In the badminton‐specific test, ranked participants had lower BLa (4.2 ± 1.7 mM vs. 6.3 ± 3.1 mM), with medium or large effect sizes. The average reach time to sensors was shorter in ranked participants (1.56 ± 0.03 s vs. 1.62 ± 0.07 s), with medium or large effect sizes. BLa was similar between groups, with trivial or small effect sizes in the running test. These results suggest that the newly developed test can evaluate badminton‐specific endurance.
Maskilische Schriften der Graßischen Druckerei in Breslau
Authors: Hecht Louise 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The article focuses on the history of the Graß or Graß and Barth publishing house in Breslau from the eighteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century. In particular, it tackles the role of women in the management and the involvement of the printing house in the dissemination of Haskalah literature, two chapters that are usually underrepresented in book history. In addition, the commitment of a Christian printer to Hebrew printing and his involvement with the Jewish Enlightenment will be addressed. The hitherto under-researched history of the Graßische Druckerei in Breslau will thus be embedded in cultural-historical questions about booklore, the Central European Haskalah and Gender Studies. Additionally, the paper examines the transfer of knowledge between the majority and minority population.
Esther Gad und das gesellige Leben in Breslau um 1800
Authors: Gajdis Anna 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The article paints a vivid picture of late-eighteenth-century Breslau and places the Jewish writer Esther Gad, who was married to local tradesman Samuel Bernard in 1791, in the city’s sociable life. Mentioning Gad’s many contacts to writers and philosophers such as Christian Garve, Jean Paul, and Elisa von der Recke, the article singles out Esther Gad’s friendship with Rahel Levin Varnhagen, who visited Breslau in 1794 and described her impressions of the city in letters to her family. In 1798, Gad joined her friend in Berlin, seeking for opportunities in the Prussian capital she did not have in her Silesian hometown.
Die Anfänge der ›jüdischen Moderne‹ in der Aufklärungszeit. Zum Diskurs zwischen Moses Mendelssohn und Christian Wilhelm Dohm
Authors: Battenberg J. Friedrich 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This contribution locates the beginnings of emancipation of Central-European Jews with the development of social and cultural modernisation. In order to explain this, I will show facts and conditions of the discourse between on the one hand Christian Wilhelm Dohm, as an enlightened Prussian public official and on the other hand philosopher Moses Mendelsohn. I will place this discourse in the centre of my treatise and I will ask in how far it effected a breakthrough of modernisation. My subject will in particular be the coming into view and including of the public; and also, the cameralistic ideas of the benefit of marginalised parts of the population. In addition, the impetus for the debate deriving from conditions in Alsace. And finally, the question in what way the ideas of Dohm and Mendelsohn, although not identical, make a distinction from former ideas of Jewish equality. Even though complete legal emancipation of Jews was another century in coming this initial trigger resulted in decisive criteria and keywords for the oncoming debate.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
In Poland, the currently used lasts are based on data obtained in the 1970s. These data may be largely out of date, which is due to changes resulting from secular trends, migration changes, and, above all, the fact that there are now tools that enable measurements to be made with significantly higher precision. Such tools are 3D scanners. In this article, we present the results of children’s foot measurements taken using a 3D scanner. We collected data on the feet dimensions obtained with the 3D scanner for boys in the age range of 4–13. We have obtained data on dimensions, proportions, and the rate of changes in consecutive years. The obtained data confirmed the increase in dimensions of the children’s feet as well as changes in proportions. These data will be used for development of new standard for lasts. The aim of the study was to collect anthropometrical data on boys’ feet dimensions.
Keep me PoS-ted: experimenting with Part-of-Speech prediction on Old Babylonian letters
Authors: Ryberg Smidt Gustav , De Graef Katrien , Lefever Els 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Within this paper we will account for a cooperation between Ghent University based Assyriologists and computational linguists that has set up a pilot study to analyse the language used in Old Babylonian (OB) letters using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. OB letters make up an interesting dataset because (1) they form an invaluable source for everyday vernacular language, and (2) more than 5000 have been recovered, many of which are accessible in transliteration and translation through the series Altbabylonische Briefe and the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative. Based on a first batch of letters from OB Sippar, later extended by other Akkadian letters, we aim to develop machine learning approaches to perform semi-automatic text analysis and annotation of the letters. We will here present a Part-of-Speech (PoS) tag prediction model using machine learning. The input data is Akkadian in transliteration and the best performing model is a fine-tuned Multilingual BERT Transformer with Word embeddings (weighted avg F1: 90.19 %). When compared to the benchmark attempt of PoS tagging on a larger Akkadian corpus (97.67 %), it leaves room for improvement. However, analysing the results shows us that multilingual word embeddings improve the model performance and with an enlargement of the corpus targeting certain classes, we could considerably better the macro average F1 scores.
Conditional generative adversarial networks for individualized causal mediation analysis
Authors: Huan Cheng , Sun Rongqian , Song Xinyuan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Most classical methods popularly used in causal mediation analysis can only estimate the average causal effects and are difficult to apply to precision medicine. Although identifying heterogeneous causal effects has received some attention, the causal effects are explored using the assumptive parametric models with limited model flexibility and analytic power. Recently, machine learning is becoming a major tool for accurately estimating individualized causal effects, thanks to its flexibility in model forms and efficiency in capturing complex nonlinear relationships. In this article, we propose a novel method, conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN) for individualized causal mediation analysis (CGAN-ICMA), to infer individualized causal effects based on the CGAN framework. Simulation studies show that CGAN-ICMA outperforms five other state-of-the-art methods, including linear regression, k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine regression, decision tree, and random forest regression. The proposed model is then applied to a study on the Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging initiative dataset. The application further demonstrates the utility of the proposed method in estimating the individualized causal effects of the apolipoprotein E-ε4 allele on cognitive impairment directly or through mediators.

Improving Sexual History Documentation in Teenagers
Authors: Kaufman Anne , Rungvivatjarus Tiranun , Pierce Heather , Chong Amy , Kuelbs Cynthia L. 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Teen access to sexual health care is essential. The 21st Century Cures Act mandates that most electronic health information be shared with patients; no standard exists for how to meet this mandate for teens and their proxy caregivers. Our confidential shared teen sexual history (SexHx) section, which is not note-based, allows clinicians to easily find information, promotes clinical decision support, and protects privacy. Nevertheless, significant variability existed in SexHx section usage, SexHx documentation, and teen note-sharing practices. For teens (aged 12–17) admitted to the Pediatric Hospital Medicine service, we aim to increase the use of the SexHx section by 10% and increase History and Physical notes (H&Ps) shared with teens by 5% over 12 months.

METHODS
Quality improvement methodology and tools were used to conduct a barrier analysis and implement a series of interventions, which included education, training, and electronic health record clinical decision support. Statistical process control charts were used to examine the impact of the interventions.

RESULTS
At baseline, from April to July 2021, sexual activity was documented or reviewed in the SexHx section for 56% of teen patients. Over the intervention period, the center line shifted to 72%. At baseline, 76% of teen H&Ps were shared with patients. The percentage of H&Ps shared revealed a center-line shift to 81% throughout the intervention period.

CONCLUSIONS
The shared teen SexHx section is an innovative tool for capturing sensitive patient history discretely. We demonstrated increased and sustained SexHx section use and H&P note-sharing in this quality improvement initiative.

Published: May 2024

Growing watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and melon (Cucumis melo) is an important activity in the Brazilian Cerrado; however, many factors limit cultivation, including the difficulty of producing high-quality seedlings. In this study, the effect of humic substances (HS) on growth of ‘Crimson Sweet’ watermelon and ‘Yellow’ melon seedlings was evaluated. An experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with five HS treatments applied to the soil: 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, and 20 g L-1. The growth of watermelon and melon seedlings was influenced by the application of humic substances. Use of HS increased plant height, stem diameter, root length, root volume, shoot dry biomass, root dry biomass, and Dickson’s quality index. HS boost plant growth, whose improved root system may have provided greater absorption and accumulation of mineral nutrients. Based on the quality of the seedlings (Dickson index), the application of 14 g L-1 of HS is recommended for watermelon seedling production and 15 g L-1 of HS for melon seedling production.
Production of Mandarin and Fuzhou lexical tones in six- to seven-year-old Mandarin-Fuzhou bilingual children
Authors: You Shuxiang , Du Yanrong , Chen Qingyi 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis study investigated the production of Mandarin and Fuzhou lexical tones by Mandarin-Fuzhou bilingual children. Forty children aged 6;11 to 7;6 and two groups of adults (Mandarin speakers and Fuzhou speakers) were asked to produce pre-selected familiar monosyllabic words. Adult judges' perceptual judgments and acoustic analysis showed that: (1) overall, these children's production performance of Mandarin tones was similar to adults', with very high accuracy; (2) children did not reach adult-like production competence in Fuzhou tones by age 7;6; and (3) there was an imbalance in children's development of the seven lexical tones in Fuzhou. Children's late and unbalanced development of Fuzhou tones could be ascribed to their unbalanced Mandarin-Fuzhou exposure, and it is argued that children might transfer the characteristics of the Mandarin tonal system to their production of Fuzhou tones.

Published: May 2024

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar los efectos del entrenamiento de fuerza explosiva en futbolistas sub-14. La muestra estuvo formada por 12 niños de la categoría infantil (12-13 años), los cuales se sometieron a un programa de entrenamiento orientado a la fuerza explosiva de 7 sesiones (2/semana), Además, se realizaron los test de CMJ (Countermovement Jump) y 10x5m antes y después del programa con el fin de observar diferencias en los resultados. Las variables para analizar fueron la altura de salto en CMJ y el tiempo de ejecución del 10x5 m. Los resultados fueron positivos, pero no estadísticamente significativos, en el CMJ (p>0.005, p=0.414, d= 3.11 y 2.536). Los jugadores mejoraron la altura del salto en el post test (+0.4 cm) a nivel general. En RSA 10x5 m (p=0.063, d pretest=0.947, d post test= 0.958), los jugadores redujeron el tiempo de ejecución a nivel general a (-0.4 seg.). Un programa de entrenamiento de fuerza basado en la fuerza explosiva mejora levemente la altura de salto en CMJ y el tiempo de ejecución en RSA 10x5m.

Published: May 2024

Los objetivos de la investigación fueron (1) realizar un análisis descriptivo para comparar la altura de salto y la potencia del tren inferior entre jugadores de baloncesto y balonmano en función del género e (2) identificar la posición del jugador con mayor potencia intradeporte. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de la altura de salto y potencia del tren inferior, capacidad considerada determinante en los deportes de balonmano y baloncesto. Por medio de la herramienta OptoGait®, se valoró la altura de salto y la potencia del tren inferior mediante el test de salto con contramovimiento (CMJ), a un total de 49 sujetos distribuidos en 4 equipos, 2 de baloncesto uno masculino y otro femenino y 2 de balonmano de igual manera uno masculino y otro femenino. Los resultados evidencian que los hombres obtuvieron resultados más elevados de salto y potencia que las mujeres en ambos deportes, que los parámetros de altura de salto y potencia entre el baloncesto y en balonmano son similares pero cuanta mayor es la categoría mayores son los valores de salto y potencia. Para el género masculino la posición de balonmano con mayor altura de salto, es el extremo y para el baloncesto, son los aleros, en el género femenino, las extremos obtuvieron un los resultados más altos en balonmano al igual que las aleros en baloncesto. Sin embargo, se encontraron diferencias en la posición con mayor potencia entre géneros. La posición que obtuvo la mayor diferencia en la potencia, fueron las pivotes de balonmano y para baloncesto, las pívots. Se concluye que según el género no existe diferencia entre los deportes en deportistas de Cantabria. Los resultados no se ajustan a la realidad científica, esto puede ser debido a la diferencia de categoría existente entre los equipos de la muestra obtenida y al perfil antropométrico de los jugadores.
