Published: October 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To explore pet owners’ use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) during virtual veterinarian-client-patient consultations and to examine pet owners’ attitudes toward virtual consultations.

SAMPLE
714 pet owners.

METHODS
In an anonymous online survey distributed using snowball sampling, all participants were asked about utilization of ICTs, preferred method of interaction (face-to-face and 5 ICTs), opinion on virtual communication, and demographics. Sentiment toward virtual veterinarian consultations was measured for participants who had experienced a “virtual only” or “combination virtual and face-to-face” consultation in the previous 6 months using the Net Promoter Score. For these participants, multivariable logistic regression was used to explore factors associated with recommending virtual consultations.

RESULTS
92% (583/632) of participants resided in Ontario, Canada. Most (85.6% [611/714]) participants had experience using the telephone for veterinary care, while only 5.2% (37/714) had used live videoconferencing. Participants ranked face-to-face interactions as most preferred (P < .001), followed by telephone and then live videoconferencing. Participants were significantly (P < .001) less confident communicating during virtual consultations, particularly for building rapport. For participants experiencing a virtual consultation in the previous 6 months (n = 348), the overall Net Promoter Score was neutral at –1.43. Participants were divided about recommending virtual consultations, with 33.3% (116/348) being promoters and 34.8% (121/348) being detractors. Age of participant and comfort using videoconferencing were positively associated (P < .05) with recommending virtual consultations.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Although participating pet owners significantly preferred face-to-face consultations with veterinarians, many appear willing to consider virtual consultations. Further exploration of pet owners’ preferences and concerns around virtual care, including communication, is needed.

Authors: Kozłowski Marcin , Wasik Dominik 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article presents the issue of the in-plane post-breakage capacity of laminated glass elements. It presents the results of an ongoing research project that aims to develop novel reinforced, laminated glass elements with embedded steel woven mesh and increased post-breakage capacity. The research was focused on tensile strength tests in a custom-made experimental set-up. The tests were carried out on laminated glass samples consisting of two glass panes with 8, 10 and 12 mm thicknesses, bonded with an EVA Clear interlayer (3.04 mm thick). A total of 36 reference and reinforced samples were tested (6 series of 6 samples each). During the tests, an increase in load after glass breakage was observed for all samples, however, the samples reinforced with steel mesh showed much better strength in the post-breakage phase. It was found that the steel woven mesh embedded in laminated glass increases the post-breakage capacity by approximately 300% compared to the reference samples.
Optimisation of Weak Soil Stabilisation with a Hydraulic Binder for Road Construction Subgrade
Authors: Sorociak Wojciech , Dobrzyński Marcin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
One of the methods of strengthening the subgrade under the road pavement construction is its stabilization with a hydraulic binder. The technology of stabilization with binders is well known in the road engineering, however, it is still beneficial in terms of economical and organisational aspects while considering methods for improvement of the load-bearing capacity of the subsoil. The advantages of this technology are, among others, the possibility of using materials both from recycling and local materials, resulting in the possibility of waste production limitation by the use of weak material (soil) in place. The article presents a case study and the results of research obtained during the process of optimizing the thickness stabilized with a hydraulic binder. Comparative tests were carried out to reveal that non-chemical soil enhancement with the use of aggregate is as important as chemical one with the binder in terms of the quality of the final subgrade for road construction. The results were afterwards confirmed in field with use of heavy machines and full-scale soil stabilisation, leading to economic and environmental benefits.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The results of electrochemical processing of spent acidic, neutral, and alkaline sulfate-chloride-containing regenerative solutions in two- and three-chamber electrolyzers are presented. It has been determined that the highest current efficiency for the products of electrodialysis can be achieved in the presence of hardness ions when processing acidic sulfate-containing solutions using three-chamber electrolyzers. It has been established that during electrodialysis of alkaline solutions after regeneration of anionites containing chloride ions, accumulation of alkali occurs in the cathodic region, and in the anodic region, chloride ions accumulate due to diffusion through the anion exchange membrane during the first stage, followed by preferential oxidation of chloride ions with liberation of free chlorine during the second stage. It has been shown that electrodialysis can effectively solve the problem of comprehensive processing of neutral, alkaline, and acidic regenerative sulfate-chloride-containing solutions, with the production of alkali and acid at concentrations suitable for reuse in regeneration processes.
Preseason Vertical Center of Mass Displacement During Running and Bone Mineral Density Z-Score Are Risk Factors for Bone Stress Injury Risk in Collegiate Cross-country Runners
Authors: Joachim Mikel R. , Kliethermes Stephanie A. , Heiderscheit Bryan C. 
Published: October 2023

OBJECTIVES: To (1) assess relationships between running biomechanics, bone health, and bone stress injuries (BSIs), and (2) determine which variables constitute the most parsimonious BSI risk model among collegiate cross-country runners. DESIGN: Prospective, observational cohort study. METHODS: Running gait and bone mineral density (BMD) data from healthy collegiate cross-country runners were collected at preseason over 6 seasons. A generalized estimating equation model with backward selection was used to develop the most parsimonious model for estimating BSI risk, controlling for sex, running speed, and prior BSI. The variables assessed were spatiotemporal, ground reaction force, and joint kinematics, based on previous literature. Quasi-likelihood under the independence model criterion values and R2 values were used to select the best-fitting model. RESULTS: Data from 103 runners were included in the analysis. The best-fitting model included vertical center of mass (COM) displacement and BMD z-score. Injury risk increased with greater vertical COM displacement (unit = 0.5 cm; relative risk [RR] = 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01, 1.29; P = .04) and decreased with greater BMD z-score (unit = 0.5; RR = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.95; P = .007). The model performed similarly when step rate was included instead of vertical COM displacement. CONCLUSION: Vertical COM displacement and BMD z-score contributed to the best model for estimating risk the risk of bone stress injury in cross-country runners. Step rate was also an important variable for assessing injury risk. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(12):761-768. Epub 20 October 2023. doi:10.2519/jospt.2023.11860

Published: October 2023

Background
European-specific policies for tuberculosis (TB) elimination require identification of key populations that benefit from TB screening.

Aim
We aimed to identify groups of foreign-born individuals residing in European countries that benefit most from targeted TB prevention screening.

Methods
The Tuberculosis Network European Trials group collected, by cross-sectional survey, numbers of foreign-born TB patients residing in European Union (EU) countries, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (UK) in 2020 from the 10 highest ranked countries of origin in terms of TB cases in each country of residence. Tuberculosis incidence rates (IRs) in countries of residence were compared with countries of origin.

Results
Data on 9,116 foreign-born TB patients in 30 countries of residence were collected. Main countries of origin were Eritrea, India, Pakistan, Morocco, Romania and Somalia. Tuberculosis IRs were highest in patients of Eritrean and Somali origin in Greece and Malta (both > 1,000/100,000) and lowest among Ukrainian patients in Poland (3.6/100,000). They were mainly lower in countries of residence than countries of origin. However, IRs among Eritreans and Somalis in Greece and Malta were five times higher than in Eritrea and Somalia. Similarly, IRs among Eritreans in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK were four times higher than in Eritrea.

Conclusions
Country of origin TB IR is an insufficient indicator when targeting foreign-born populations for active case finding or TB prevention policies in the countries covered here. Elimination strategies should be informed by regularly collected country-specific data to address rapidly changing epidemiology and associated risks.

Published: October 2023

Background
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a disease which can lead to severe neurological symptoms, caused by the TBE virus (TBEV). The natural transmission cycle occurs in foci and involves ticks as vectors and several key hosts that act as reservoirs and amplifiers of the infection spread. Recently, the incidence of TBE in Europe has been rising in both endemic and new regions.

Aim
In this study we want to provide comprehensive understanding of the main ecological and environmental factors that affect TBE spread across Europe.

Methods
We searched available literature on covariates linked with the circulation of TBEV in Europe. We then assessed the best predictors for TBE incidence in 11 European countries by means of statistical regression, using data on human infections provided by the European Surveillance System (TESSy), averaged between 2017 and 2021.

Results
We retrieved data from 62 full-text articles and identified 31 different covariates associated with TBE occurrence. Finally, we selected eight variables from the best model, including factors linked to vegetation cover, climate, and the presence of tick hosts.

Discussion
The existing literature is heterogeneous, both in study design and covariate types. Here, we summarised and statistically validated the covariates affecting the variability of TBEV across Europe. The analysis of the factors enhancing disease emergence is a fundamental step towards the identification of potential hotspots of viral circulation. Hence, our results can support modelling efforts to estimate the risk of TBEV infections and help decision-makers implement surveillance and prevention campaigns.
Action leadership

Published: October 2023

Abstract: Given the economic and social reality that MSMEs are experiencing in the post-pandemic world, it is necessary to have a new style of leaders who can solve new organizational problems, for which a new leadership model was generated that integrates previous theories. Three independent leadership theories were mixed to develop a multidimensional model that could facilitate a better leadership assessment aiming to analyze the most important characteristics that employees seek in a leader. Data from 384 MSMEs employees was collected to analyze 31 combined items from three instruments to assess transformational, authentic, and learning leadership. This data was analyzed for validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes, resulting in a new model that could help researchers to collect reliable data that could be analyzed using the lens of this new model that receives the name of "action leadership". This new multidimensional model will facilitate the development of better working environments in MSMEs, guiding the efforts of their leaders to be able to fulfil the needs of their employees and their expectations about how their leaders solve the challenges.

Published: October 2023

Wewengkon Adat Kasepuhan Citorek is a traditional rural area which is one of the priorities for tourism development in Lebak Regency. As a traditional village that has unique cultural potential, this area also has a variety of natural potential because of its position as an enclave area of the Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS), so it is not surprising that this area is directed to be developed as a tourist village thanks to the potential it has. This research aims to identify and analyze tourist village management based on tourist village components in Wewengkon Adat Kasepuhan Citorek. The research method used is a descriptive analysis method by comparing conditions in the field with the theory of tourist village components. The results of this research are that the management of tourist villages in Wewengkon Adat Kasepuhan Citorek is still natural and there is no special tourism village management so that each village runs independently. Therefore, it is necessary to have a tourist village management institution with a cluster model so that each village complements and integrates each ODTW as a form of shared enthusiasm in managing tourist villages in Wewengkon Adat Kasepuhan Citorek.

The Weimar/Russia Comparison Revisited
Authors: Hanson Stephen E. , Kopstein Jeffrey S 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Just over a quarter-century ago, the authors published a widely read essay comparing Weimar Germany and Post-Soviet Russia in historical perspective. After Russia’s unprovoked assault on Ukraine, comparisons of Vladimir Putin’s regime with Nazi Germany are once again tragically relevant. Reexamining our arguments from 1997 shows the continuing relevance of the variables we emphasized in that essay: the burdensome legacies of the past imperial regime, intense international pressure to marketize post-Soviet Russia’s statist economy, and Russia’s weak party system. Three main issues in our earlier article, in retrospect, required greater development: pinpointing the time span needed to assess regime change, distinguishing mobilizational and patrimonial forms of ‘anti-liberal statism,’ and exploring more fully the foreign policy options for would-be defenders of the liberal global order facing powerful revanchist challenges. We conclude that this sort of ‘replication’ of earlier research should be encouraged more often among political scientists adopting the comparative-historical approach.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of using cariprazine for the treatment of productive and negative symptoms in schizophrenic spectrum disorders in a hospital setting.Materials and methods: A group of 35 patients with leading productive and negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders treated in a psychiatric hospital constituted the material of the study. The condition of patients was objectified according to the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI-S and CGI-I) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) — at the beginning of the study and in dynamics on the 30th and 60th day of treatment. The mean PANSS score at the beginning of the study was 94.45±14.49 points. After the drug administration, the patients were followed up for up to 60 days.Results: Cariprazine was administered both as first-line treatment and after prior therapy. The dose range was from 1.5 mg to 6 mg daily. In 3 patients (8.57%), cariprazine therapy was discontinued due to the development of adverse events or worsening of the condition. The remaining 32 patients (91.43%) showed positive dynamics.Conclusions: The study showed high efficacy of cariprazine when administered for the treatment of productive and negative symptoms in schizophrenic spectrum disorders in a hospital setting. The drug was well tolerated in the majority of patients.
