Published: February 2025

Background
Older persons comprise most traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related hospitalizations and deaths and are particularly susceptible to fall-induced TBIs. The combination of increased frailty and susceptibility to clinical decline creates a significant ongoing challenge in the management of geriatric TBI. As the population ages and co-existing medical conditions complexify, so does the need to improve the quality of care for this population. Utilizing early hospital admission variables, this study will create and validate a multinomial decision tree that predicts the discharge disposition of older patients with fall-related TBI.

Methods
From the National Trauma Data Bank, we retrospectively analyzed 11,977 older patients with a fall-related TBI (2017–2021). Clinical variables included Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, intracranial pressure monitor use, venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis, and initial vital signs. Outcomes included hospital discharge disposition re-categorized into home, care facility, or deceased. Data were split into two sets, where 80% developed a decision tree, and 20% tested predictive performance. We employed a conditional inference tree algorithm with bootstrap (B = 100) and grid search options to grow the decision tree and measure discrimination ability using the area under the curve (AUC) and calibration plots.

Results
Our decision tree used seven admission variables to predict the discharge disposition of older TBI patients. Significant non-modifiable variables included total GCS and injury severity scores, while VTE prophylaxis type was the most important interventional variable. Patients who did not receive VTE prophylaxis treatment had a higher probability of death. The predictive performance of the tree in terms of AUC value (95% confidence intervals) in the training cohort for death, care, and home were 0.66 (0.65–0.67), 0.75 (0.73–0.76), and 0.77 (0.76–0.79), respectively. In the test cohort, the values were 0.64 (0.62–0.67), 0.75 (0.72–0.77), and 0.77 (0.73–0.79).

Conclusions
We have developed and internally validated a multinomial decision tree to predict the discharge destination of older patients with TBI. This tree could serve as a decision support tool for caregivers to manage older patients better and inform decision-making. However, the tree must be externally validated using prospective data to ascertain its predictive and clinical importance.
Temporal associations between microclimate, adult Aedes mosquito indices, and dengue cases at the residence level in Malaysia: Implications for targeted interventions

Published: February 2025

Introduction
Dengue continues to be a major public health concern in Malaysia, as evidenced by the significant surge in cumulative dengue case numbers and deaths in 2023 compared to the previous year. While previous studies have explored the interplay of abiotic and biotic factors of mosquito density and dengue cases on a local scale in Malaysia, there is a notable gap in the research focusing on adult Aedes mosquito populations.

Aims
This study aims to contribute to the existing knowledge by investigating the association and time lags (TLs) between daily microclimate (DM), mosquito indices (MIs), and dengue cases at the residence level.

Methods
In this longitudinal study, field data were collected over 26 weeks using data loggers, gravid oviposit sticky (GOS) traps, and non-structural 1 (NS1) test kits in both non-dengue hotspot (NDH) and dengue hotspots (DH). The collected data encompassed DM variables, vegetation cover (VC), MIs, and number of dengue cases. An autocorrelation analysis was conducted to determine the TLs between MIs and their preceding values, while a cross-correlation analysis revealed the TLs between MIs and DM variables.

Results
The study indicated there are positive correlations between the adult index (AI) of Ae. albopictus, their preceding values and rainfall at an NDH. Conversely, the AIs of total Aedes at the DH exhibited positive correlations with their preceding values, temperature, rainfall, and maximum relative humidity (RH), but negative correlations with the mean and maximum RH. The dengue-positive trap index (DPTI) of total Aedes at DHs demonstrated positive associations with their preceding values, mean temperature, minimum temperature, maximum RH, and rainfall, with negative correlations observed for the maximum temperature, mean RH, and minimum RH. Similar trends were identified for the Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus at DHs. The association between dengue cases, DM, and MIs was inconclusive due to underreported cases.

Conclusions
This study highlighted the DM and TLs of dengue virus-infected and non-infected adult female Aedes mosquitoes using onsite data collection. Furthermore, this study presents a replicable methodology that can be adopted by researchers worldwide for investigating the dynamics of dengue transmission in similar settings. The findings offer valuable insights for decision-makers, providing them with evidence-based information to implement targeted interventions and strategies aimed at controlling Aedes mosquito populations and mitigating the spread of dengue virus infections.
Development of an expectation management intervention for patients with Long COVID: A focus group study with affected patients
Authors: Funk Manuel , Reinke Max , Löwe Bernd , Engelmann Petra 
Published: February 2025

Background
A significant number of individuals who have contracted SARS-CoV-2 report persistent somatic symptoms after the infection has resolved. Evidence-based treatment options for Long COVID are lacking to date. To ensure that an expectation management intervention, designed for the research project SOMA.COV, addresses relevant patient needs as well as to promote treatment acceptance and adherence, a participatory approach was chosen.

Objective
The aim of the present study was to explore needs and wishes of patients with Long COVID regarding the preliminary version of an expectation management intervention and to thereby inform the further development of the treatment manual.

Methods
Twenty-two patients affected by Long COVID participated in one of four focus groups in June and July 2023. Participants were presented with the draft content of a four-session expectation management intervention. Feedback was audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results
Thirteen themes relating to the main components of the intervention manual were developed. Large parts of the manual received overall positive feedback, including psychoeducation on the biopsychosocial etiology of the condition, elements of cognitive restructuring, and an imagination exercise. Patients’ response to the presented vicious circle of fear and a behavior change exercise was mixed. Modifications to the manual were made in response to patients’ feedback.

Conclusion
Patients with Long COVID provided positive feedback on an expectation management intervention while also highlighting important adaptations necessary for this patient group. The study results informed the finalization of the treatment manual within the SOMA.COV project, which investigates the effectiveness of this intervention for patients with Long COVID in a three-armed randomized controlled trial.
Prevalence and factors associated with alcohol use disorders among people living with HIV attending care and treatment centers at Kilimanjaro, Tanzania: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Ghaimo Florian Emanuel , Mzilangwe Ester Steven , Chacha Samuel , Kuganda Saidi Bakari 
Published: February 2025

Background
Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are prevalent among people living with HIV (PLHIV), with 2–6 times higher than in the general population. These conditions are linked to increased morbidity and mortality among PLHIV and amplify sexual risk behaviors, thus exacerbating the transmission of HIV. Despite these negative consequences, a paucity of studies have explored this issue in Tanzania. This study aimed to determine AUD’s prevalence and associated factors among PLHIV attending Care and Treatment Centers (CTCs).

Methods
A multifacility-based cross-sectional study was carried out among 532 PLHIV attending four CTC centers in Moshi Municipal, Kilimanjaro. A multistage cluster systematic sampling method was utilized to choose CTCs and participants. Data were collected using standardized tools through interviewer administration. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA (version 16). Binary logistic regression model was used to examine the associations between AUD and the independent variables, with odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals calculated to quantify the strength of these associations.

Results
The mean age of participants was 46.6 years (SD±13.3). The weighted prevalence of alcohol use disorders (AUDIT ≥ 8) within the past 12 months was 28.2%. Factors significantly associated with AUD in the final model included male sex (AOR = 4.18, P <0.001), healthcare level (reference: tertiary health facility; secondary health facility AOR = 1.80, P<0.001, primary health facility AOR = 9.65, P<0.001), being divorced or widowed (AOR = 2.82, P<0.001), secondary education (AOR = 1.35, P = 0.005), and probable depression (AOR = 2.48, P <0.001).

Conclusion
The findings revealed a high prevalence of AUD among PLHIV, highlighting the need for policy refinement aimed at enhancing the integration of psychosocial services at CTCs.

Participaram da pesquisa pais e/ou responsáveis que forneceram informações de 13 crianças, com idade entre seis e 11 anos (M= 7,86). Os resultados permitiram identificar fatores de risco que podem estar associados à prática da violência sexual, como: reduzida escolaridade dos pais, relações familiares abusivas e perfil das vítimas associadas às questões de gênero.
Cine y salud mental
Authors: Cabrera Sofia , Gorga Evelyn , Guerra Franco 
Published: February 2025

Este artículo abordará un análisis sociosemiótico (Verón, 1993) de tres cortometrajes: “Las paredes son nuestras”, “Regatos salvajes” y “Un lunes de miércoles”; realizados en el marco de un dispositivo artístico-terapéutico denominado “AtraBesados”. Dicho dispositivo se configura como un espacio de formación y exploración audiovisual, en el Hospital Neuropsiquiátrico Provincial de Córdoba. Las personas que conforman el dispositivo en formato taller, han transitado un proceso de psiquiatrización en el nosocomio y al momento de la producción se encontraban o bien en un periodo de internación o de tratamiento ambulatorio.
Nos centraremos, por un lado, en el análisis del nivel representacional, entendiendo, junto con Sorlin (1985), que lo que registra la cámara son “cosas reales” pero en tanto que percibidas, reconstituidas o imaginadas por el conjunto del equipo realizador, no pueden ser consideradas más que como “representaciones”. Nuestro análisis parte de cómo las personas se muestran, cómo representan sus realidades, sus identidades, sus territorios, a través del dispositivo audiovisual. Nos preguntamos entonces: ¿Qué recursos audiovisuales aparecen, y cómo se utilizan en los cortos? ¿Qué voces figuran en estos discursos producidos en contextos institucionales de salud mental? ¿Qué representaciones en relación a la salud mental y a la locura aparecen allí?
Por otro lado, procuraremos aproximarnos a la figura del enunciador a través del análisis del dispositivo de enunciación (Verón, 1993) que funciona en cada cortometraje.
El objetivo entonces, es desentramar el dispositivo audiovisual para vislumbrar si es que se materializa como una discursividad que habilita la expresión y da cuenta de una subjetividad, o no.
Bombartivismo, transgrediendo la heteronormatividad
Authors: Rivera Vázquez Pedro J. 
Published: February 2025

Este artículo presenta diversos procesos y manifestaciones subversivas al sistema binarista sexo género que se producen desde la década de 1990 en la bomba puertorriqueña (género musical afropuertorriqueño más longevo) con el objetivo de crear y fomentar espacios y conductas inclusivos que respeten la diversidad humana. Mediante la transgresión de numerosos elementos heteronormativos, patriarcales y machistas que definieron la práctica de la bomba antes de 1990, surgen nuevas posibilidades de participación y expresión que estaban restrictas, por la designación de roles, a determinadas identidades de género. La bomba puertorriqueña contemporánea funge como herramienta en pro de la educación, inclusión y respeto a la diversidad; pero, sobre todo, como elemento liberador y de cimarronaje contra la opresión generada por el patriarcado, el machismo y el sistema sexo-género heteronormativo.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Scaling Up Effective Peer Feedback in a Large-enrollment Project-based Course
Authors: Paul Logan , Peirce Caudell Alexis 
Published: February 2025

Employers want graduates who excel in communication, collaboration, and teamwork (Dewar, 2023). But, implementing activities and assessments to support this skill development can be challenging in large-enrollment classes where the balance between the extra work it creates for faculty, and perceived value for students, must be carefully considered. This quick hit details a system, soon to be Canvas tool, for peer feedback in a large-enrollment, team-based project course. The system manages the intake and aggregation of data, and visualizes data trends across the lifecycle of the year long course. This provides the students feedback that they need to understand how their peers perceive their collaborative skills, and enables faculty to have easy access to data when having critical conversations with students based on feedback trends. In Fall 2022, 80% of students reported taking action based on peer feedback, rising to 93% in Fall 2023. This suggests that this system can positively impact student learning and behavior when used within a comprehensive course feedback ecosystem.
Effect of Q angle on some performance parameters in adolescent female football players
Authors: Şarvan Cengiz Şebnem , Karesi Hüseyin , Er Batuhan 
Published: February 2025

QA (Q angle) is the line between the combined traction of the quadriceps and the patellar tendon and is associated with the biomechanical function of the lower extremity. The reason we're focusing on the Q angle in women in particular is that we think that in studies women show a higher average QA than men and can give a lot of ideas as a simple precursor parameter. This study aimed to study the effect of the Q angle in Adolescent Women's Footballers on lower extremity vertical jumping performance and the excentric power of the hamstring.
Method: A digital manual goniometer was used to measure the QA of individuals, and hamstring eccentric muscle strength NORDBORD device was used for measuring vertical jumping strength with a SmartSpeed Contact Mat half-squat vertical jump test (VJ TEST) The resulting data was normally distributed, and a Pearson correlation test and simple regression tests were applied to the analysis.
Results: When the results of simple linear regression analysis of Vertical Jump Performance according to the prediction of the Left Q angle variable were examined, it was seen that the Left Q angle was a significant predictor of the athlete's Vertical Jump performance. In addition, it is seen that there is a moderate positive relationship between Vertical Jump and Asymmetry.
Discussions: Football is a competitive game with different dynamics (sprint, change of direction, jumping, collision) and has a higher risk of disability than other sports.

Grouping villages in Bekasi Regency is necessary as a planning and evaluation material for government program targets, especially in digital transformation efforts. The goal is to find out which villages are prioritized based on the characteristics of digital infrastructure. Thus, grouping villages in Bekasi Regency based on digital infrastructure needs to be done to support the success of digital transformation efforts. The analysis that can be used to group a village is cluster analysis. The clustering method used in this research is the k-Prototype algorithm using the value of = 1, 2, 3, ..., and 10. The k-Prototype algorithm is a clustering method that can handle mixed type data, namely numeric and categorical types and large data. The k-Prototype algorithm has the advantage that the algorithm is less complex and better than hierarchy-based algorithms. Based on the results of analysis, the optimal number of groups formed was four groups with an Average Silhouette Width value of 0,505. Group 3, which consists of 9 villages, is the best group based on digital infrastructure characteristics, while group 1, which consists of 41 villages, has the lowest average cellular phone communication service operator and is dominated by villages that do not have internet access and internet facilities at the village office. In addition, group 1 has the most villages with weak cellular phone signals compared to the other groups.
Evaluating the therapeutic potential of 4-hydroxyflavanes diastereomers derivatives against (MetAP2) for anti-cancer therapy: a molecular docking study
Authors: Hamache Thinhinane , Belboukhari Nasser , Sekkoum Khaled , Zaid Mohammed El Amin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The 4-hydroxyflavanes are derived from flavanones through a condensation reaction with a primary amine; therefore, the 4-hydroxyflavanes derivatives have been shown to have key biological actions such as aldose reductase inhibition, cancer chemoprevention, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we investigated the molecular docking interactions between 2-phenyl-4 (phenylamino)chroman-4-ol, 4-((3-chlorophenyl) amino)-2-phenylchroman-4-ol and 4-((3-methoxyphenyl) amino)-2-phenylchroman-4-ol diastereomers with methionine aminopeptidase II (MetAP2) which is an enzyme that is essential for tissue healing and cancer progression in humans, in order to find novel antiangiogenic agents. The molecular docking program used in this work was Moe software. The binding affinity composed of (MetAP2) with 4-((3-methoxyphenyl) amino)-2-phenylchroman-4-ol diastereomers derivatives (RR, RS, SR, SS) were found to be the most stable, with the free energy of −7.06, −7.85, −7.44, and −7.82 kcal/mol docking score and the RMSD 1.77, 1.24, 1.93 and 1.41 respectively; specifically, the RS configuration. The findings provide insights into the potential efficacy of 4-hydroxyflavanes derivatives as a (MetAP2) inhibitor, which could have implications for the development of novel cancer therapeutics.
Development of softwood kraft lignin-based conductive carbon for sustainable supercapacitor
Authors: Pakkang Nutthira , Hori Masanori , Suzuki Shiori , Uraki Yasumitsu 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) are promising devices for sustainable energy storage. However, EDLC components, such as separators and electrodes composed of activated carbon and conductive additives, are derived from fossil resources. To reduce this dependency, an EDLC was assembled using a separator and electrodes derived from hardwood kraft lignin, while still relying on fossil-based carbon black (CB) as the conductive additive. To achieve more sustainable EDLCs, this study developed all the conductive carbon, separator, and electrodes from softwood kraft lignin (SKL). When SKL was carbonized at 900 °C, it showed poor electrical conductivity and was unsuitable as a conductive additive. The carbon structures became more ordered with higher temperatures, and SKL-carbons prepared at 1,300–2,000 °C showed comparable conductivity to CB. The EDLCs with 1 wt % of these SKL-carbons exhibited higher capacitance and energy density than reference EDLCs with 1 and 5 wt % CB. Furthermore, a turbostratic (T) structure formed at 2,500 °C, enhancing conductivity and EDLC performance. SKL-carbon prepared at 2,800 °C exhibited a graphite structure in addition to the T structure, achieving the highest conductivity (0.54 S cm⁻1), but the resulting EDLC showed low power density. Thus, SKL-carbon prepared at 2,500 °C was the best conductive additive for EDLCs.
The Transcendent and Causal Dimensions of Aquinas’s Action Theory: Insights from Metaphysics
Authors: Gui Lingchang 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Aquinas’s analyses of the action process can be traced to a twofold structure: an end as a final cause determines a human action, while the action derives causally from the rational will. By comparing the transcendent relationship between God and His creatures with the special causal and noncausal relationships between human beings and his actions, this paper aims to provide a new perspective for understanding this structure. According to Aquinas, God is the ultimate end and the first agent for all creatures in a state of absolute transcendence. In contrast, human action partially participates in the divine mode of action so that a universal good as an end of action is still transcendentally related to individual actions while the rational will, as a second agent, causally and nontranscendentally contributes to the execution of action. Thus, Aquinas’s action theory is both explanatory and causal.
