Authors: Oh Seri , Jang Jong-Sik , Jeon A-Ra , Kim Geonwoo , Kwon Mihwa , Cho Bahoe , Lee Narae 
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND
Sensory integration intervention is highly related to the child's effective interaction with the environment and the child's development. Currently, various sensory integration interventions are being applied, but research methodological problems are arising due to unsystematic protocols. This study aims to present the optimal intervention protocol by presenting scientific standards for sensory integration intervention through meta-analysis.
AIM
To prove the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy, examine the latest trend of sensory integration studies in Korea, and provide clinical evidence for sensory integration therapies.
METHODS
The database of Korean search engines, including RISS, KISS, and DBpia, was used to search for related literature published from 2001 to October 2020. The keywords, “Children”, “Sensory integration”, “Integrated sensory”, “Sensory-motor”, and “Sensory stimulation” were used in this search. Then, a meta-analysis was conducted on 24 selected studiesRISS, KISS, and DBpia, was used to search for related literature published from 2001 to October 2020. The keywords, “Children”, “Sensory integration”, “Integrated sensory”, “Sensory-motor”, and “Sensory stimulation” were used in this search. Then, a meta-analysis was conducted on 24 selected studies.
RESULTS
Sensory integration intervention has been proven effective in children with cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, developmental disorder, and intellectual disability in relation to the diagnosis of children. Regarding sensory integration therapies, 1:1 individual treatment with a therapist or a therapy session lasting for 40 min was most effective. In terms of dependent variables, sensory integration therapy effectively promoted social skills, adaptive behavior, sensory processing, and gross motor and fine motor skills.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study may be used as therapeutic evidence for sensory integration intervention in the clinical field of occupational therapy for children, and can help to present standards for sensory integration intervention protocols.
Reversal of complete atrioventricular block in dialysis patients following parathyroidectomy: A case report
Authors: Xu Shan-Shan , Hao Li-Hai , Guan Yan-Meng 
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND
Refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication observed in patients with end-stage renal disease and can result in ectopic calcification. Metastatic calcification involving the heart valves and the conduction system can easily lead to arrhythmias, including atrioventricular block. This case report describes a maintenance hemodialysis patient with refractory SHPT resulting in a complete atrioventricular block (CAVB), which was eventually reversed to a first-degree atrioventricular block.
CASE SUMMARY
We present the case of a 31-year-old Asian female who was receiving maintenance hemodialysis because of lupus nephropathy. She developed SHPT, and an electrocardiogram revealed a first-degree atrioventricular block. Then, she underwent parathyroidectomy (PTX) with autotransplantation. Unfortunately, a few years later, she developed SHPT again, and an electrocardiogram revealed a CAVB. A few years after the second PTX surgery, the calcification of the left atrium and left ventricle improved, and her CAVB was reversed.
CONCLUSION
This case revealed that metastatic cardiac calcification can result in complete atrioventricular blockage. Following parathyroid surgery, calcification of the cardiac conduction system improved, leading to reversal of the atrioventricular block. It is important for dialysis patients to optimize intact parathyroid hormone therapy and pay attention to calcification metastasis.

Authors: Baguune Benjamin , Laryea Eunice Baiden , Frimpong Joseph Asamoah , Dapaa Samuel , Achempem Kwame Kodom , Kenu Ernest , Laryea Dennis Odai 
Published: February 2024

Background
Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) surveillance is the gold standard in the polio eradication initiative. The environmental component of polio surveillance can detect circulating Polioviruses from sewage without relying on clinical presentation. The effectiveness of the Environmental Surveillance (ES) is crucial to global polio eradication. We assessed the usefulness and attributes of the ES system in the Northern region and determined if the system is meeting its objectives.

Methods
We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional evaluation in the Northern region from 2019 to 2020 using the updated US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guideline. We interviewed stakeholders, reviewed records, and observed surveillance activities from 29th March to 7th May, 2021. Quantitative data were analyzed manually as frequencies and proportions whiles thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data.

Results
One of 48 (2.1%) samples collected tested positive for circulating vaccine-derived Poliovirus (cVDPV). The cVDPV detection triggered enhanced AFP surveillance that resulted in the identification of a case of AFP. Three rounds of polio vaccination campaigns were organized. All surveillance officers interviewed were willing to continue providing their services for the ES. Reporting form has few variables and is easy to complete. The completeness of forms was 97.9% (47/48). Samples collected were dispatched on the same day to the testing laboratory. The system’s data was managed manually.

Conclusion
The system was useful in detecting polio outbreaks. Data quality was good, the system was simple, flexible, acceptable, representative, and fairly stable. Sensitivity was high but predictive value positive was low. Timeliness in reporting was good but feedback from the national level could not be assessed. There is a need to improve on the feedback system and ensure that, the surveillance data is managed electronically.

Authors: Maassen Susanne , van Oostveen Catharina , Weggelaar Anne Marie , Rafferty Anne Marie , Zegers Marieke , Vermeulen Hester 
Published: February 2024

Objectives
A positive work environment (WE) is paramount for healthcare employees to provide good quality care. To stimulate a positive work environment, employees’ perceptions of the work environment need to be assessed. This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Dutch version of the Culture of Care Barometer (CoCB-NL) survey in hospitals.

Methods
This longitudinal validation study explored content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, hypothesis testing for construct validity, and responsiveness. The study was conducted at seven departments in two Dutch university hospitals. The departments were included based on their managers’ motivation to better understand their employees’ perception of their WE. All employees of participating departments were invited to complete the survey (n = 1,730).

Results
The response rate was 63.2%. The content of the CoCB-NL was considered relevant and accessible by the respondents. Two factor models were found. First, confirmative factor analysis of the original four-factor structure showed an acceptable fit (X2 2006.49; df 399; p = <0.001; comparative fit index [CFI] 0.82; Tucker-Lewis index [TLI] 0.80; root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] 0.09). Second, explanatory factor analysis revealed a five-factor model including ‘organizational support’, ‘leadership’, ‘collegiality and teamwork’, ‘relationship with manager’, and ‘employee influence and development’. This model was confirmed and showed a better fit (X2 1552.93; df 395; p = < 0.00; CFI 0.87; TLI 0.86; RMSEA 0.07). Twelve out of eighteen hypotheses were confirmed. Responsiveness was assumed between the measurements.

Conclusions
The CoCB-NL is a valid and reliable instrument for identifying areas needing improvement in the WE. Furthermore, the CoCB-NL appears to be responsive and therefore useful for longitudinal evaluations of healthcare employees’ work environments.

Authors: Liu Yang-Fan , Chen Te-Li , Tseng Ching-Hsueh , Wang Jen-Yu , Wang Wen-Ching 
Published: February 2024

Background
Obesity is a global health issue with increasing prevalence. Surgical procedures, such as surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF), may be affected by obesity-related complications. The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of obesity on SSRF outcomes in multiple rib fractures.

Methods
This retrospective study analyzed data from adults aged ≥ 20 years in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database diagnosed with multiple rib fractures who underwent SSRF between 2005 and 2018. It investigated the relationship between obesity and in-patient outcomes, such as discharge status, length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, hospital costs, and adverse events using logistic and linear regression analyses.

Results
Analysis of data from 1,754 patients (morbidly obese: 87; obese: 106; normal weight: 1,561) revealed that morbid obesity was associated with longer LOS (aBeta = 0.07, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.07), higher hospital costs (aBeta = 47.35, 95% CI: 38.55, 56.14), increased risks of adverse events (aOR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.61), hemorrhage/need for transfusion (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.12, 2.79) and mechanical ventilation ≥ 96 hours (aOR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.28, 3.58) compared to normal weight patients. Among patients with flail chest, morbid obesity was significantly associated with tracheostomy (aOR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.05, 4.32), ARDS/respiratory failure (aOR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.09, 3.70), and mechanical ventilation ≥ 96 hours (aOR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.47, 5.32). In contrast, morbid obesity had no significant associations with these adverse respiratory outcomes among patients without a flail chest (p > 0.05).

Conclusions
Morbid obesity is associated with adverse outcomes following SSRF for multiple rib fractures, especially for flail chest patients.
Sharp bounds on the survival function of exchangeable min-stable multivariate exponential sequences
Authors: Mai Jan-Frederik 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
We derive lower and upper bounds for the survival function of an exchangeable sequence of random variables, for which the scaled minimum of each finite subgroup has a univariate exponential distribution. These bounds are sharp in the sense that both bounds themselves are attained by exchangeable sequences of the same kind, for which the (non-scaled) minimum of each subgroup has the same univariate exponential distribution as the original sequence. This result is equivalent to inequalities between infinite-dimensional stable tail dependence functions, which leads to inequalities between multivariate extreme-value copulas. In addition, it is explained how an infinite-dimensional symmetric stable tail dependence function can be obtained from its upper bound by censoring certain distributional information. This technique is applied to derive new parametric families.
Synthesis of humic acid with the obtaining of potassium humate based on coal waste from the Lenger deposit, Kazakhstan

Published: February 2024

Abstract
This article a synthesis of humic acid with the obtaining of potassium humate based on coal waste from the Lenger deposit. Accumulated industrial waste heavily pollutes the environment and has a direct impact on all living things. The accumulation of waste in landfills increases the pollution level of the atmosphere, soil, groundwater, and surface water, destroys the functioning of ecosystems, and damages agriculture and construction. A sieve analysis was carried out to study the fine fractions of coal waste, and a scanning electron microscope analysis was performed to study the mineralogical, structural state and X-ray chemical phase composition. The chemical composition of coal waste was studied using differential thermal analysis during heat treatment. The optimal parameters of the process for obtaining humic acids are established, and the results of experimental work are presented. The results are confirmed by mathematical planning of the experiment using the method of orthogonal plan of the second order. The mathematical planning results were tested according to the Student and Fischer criteria. Based on the conducted studies, it was identified that the degree of extraction of humic acid reaches up to 95.90% in terms of the organic phase, and the concentration of humic acid is 49.13%. From the humic acids obtained using potassium hydroxide, potassium humate was synthesized. The potassium humate obtained in its composition has fertilizer properties. Therefore, the obtained potassium humate will be used for the production of humic fertilizers to improve soil fertility and crop yields. The synthesis of humic acids with the production of potassium humate is aimed at reducing the accumulated industrial waste, which in turn allows you to regulate and improve the ecological situation and green ecology in the region.
Automatic boomerang attacks search on Rijndael
Authors: Rouquette Loïc , Minier Marine , Solnon Christine 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Boomerang attacks were introduced in 1999 by Wagner (The boomerang attack. In: Knudsen LR, editor. FSE’99. vol. 1636 of LNCS. Heidelberg: Springer; 1999. p. 156–70) as a powerful tool in differential cryptanalysis of block ciphers, especially dedicated to ciphers with good short differentials. They have been generalized to the related-key case by Biham et al. (Related-key boomerang and rectangle attacks. In: Cramer R, editor. Advances in Cryptology - EUROCRYPT 2005, 24th Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques, Aarhus, Denmark, May 22–26, 2005, Proceedings. vol. 3494 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Springer; 2005. p. 507–25. doi: 10.1007/11426639_30). In this article, we show how to adapt the model proposed in 2020 by Delaune et al. (Catching the fastest boomerangs application to SKINNY. IACR Trans Symm Cryptol. 2020;2020(4):104–29) for related-key boomerang attacks on the block cipher SKINNY to the Rijndael case. Rijndael is composed of 25 instances that could be seen as generalizations of the Advanced Encryption Standard. We detail our models and present the results we obtain concerning related-key boomerang attacks on Rijndael. Notably, we present a nine-round attack against Rijndael-128-160, which has 11 rounds and beats all previous cryptanalytic results against Rijdael-128-160.

Use of Equalities and Inequalities System to demonstrate the Four Color Theorem
Authors: Jansen José Ulisses 
Published: February 2024

The Four-Color Theorem (T4C) originated from the attempt to resolve the challenge of coloring maps over a plane or spherical surface. Over a century and a half, this problem underwent various abstractions until finding resolution in 1976. The proposed solution, which is groundbreaking, computationally calculates the multitude of representations of flat maps. Despite its resolution, the absence of a formal proof for this problem using traditional mathematical tools induces some unease, and a readily comprehensible solution is desirable. Nowadays, numerous articles propose diverse solutions to this problem but none of which have garnered official recognition. Taking a distinctive approach, solutions grounded in function properties and infinitesimal discretization were presented by this author in 2021 and 2023.
This article introduces an infinite covering of a map by a set of parallel lines, effectively capturing the structure of the map. A series of segmented straight lines are generated, and it is demonstrated that they are paintable with Four Colors, implying that the corresponding maps are colorable by Four Colors as well.
