Authors: Kolak Mia , Agardh Anette , Rubertsson Christine , Hansson Stefan R. , Ekstrand Ragnar Maria 
Published: January 2024

Background
Male involvement in maternal health care has proven to be beneficial for improving maternal and child health and is often crucial in areas of family planning and contraceptive use. However, compared to male involvement in maternal health care, male involvement in contraceptive counselling is complex and controversial and thus faces certain challenges. Immigrant men in Sweden are often accompanying their partner for contraceptive counselling. Little is known about their presence and role.

Aim
To explore how immigrant men from the Middle East and Afghanistan perceive and experience accompanying their partner for contraceptive counselling provided by midwives in Sweden.

Methods
Inductive qualitative content analysis guided the interpretation of data based on 21 individual in-depth interviews.

Findings
Balancing conflicting values and norms about sexual and reproductive health and rights including family planning was challenging and confusing when living in Sweden. Contraceptive counselling was perceived as a joint visit, and men were often acting as decision makers. The midwife’s role as a contraceptive counsellor was perceived as trusted, but knowledge was lacking about the Swedish midwifery model and the Swedish healthcare system. Providers’ ways of communicating sensitive information were crucial. Without marriage contraceptive counselling was unthinkable.

Conclusion
Highlighting male engagement and including men’s sexual and reproductive health at policy levels are necessary for improving women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights. Additional and new ways of contraceptive counselling and midwifery services, such as outreach work and joint visits, are needed in order to reach both men and women.

Objective
Cystoid macular edema (CME) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an important complication causing visual dysfunction. We investigated the effect of CME on photoreceptors in RP patients with previous or current CME, using an adaptive optics (AO) fundus camera.

Methods
We retrospectively observed the CME and ellipsoid zone (EZ) length (average of horizontal and vertical sections) by optical coherence tomography. The density and regularity of the arrangement of photoreceptor cells (Voronoi analysis) were examined at four points around 1.5° from superior to inferior and temporal to nasal. We also performed a multivariate analysis using CME duration, central macular thickness and transversal length of CME.

Results
We evaluated 18 patients with previous or current CME (18 eyes; age, 48.7 ± 15.6 years) and 24 patients without previous or current CME (24 eyes; age, 46.0 ± 14.5 years). There were no significant differences in age, logMAR visual acuity, or EZ length. In groups with and without CME, cell density was 11967 ± 3148 and 16239 ± 2935 cells/mm2, and sequence regularity was 85.5 ± 3.4% and 88.5 ± 2.8%, respectively; both parameters were significantly different. The correlation between photoreceptor density and age was more negative in group with CME. The CME group tended toward greater reductions in duration of CME.

Conclusion
Complications of CME in RP patients may lead to a decrease in photoreceptor density and regularity. Additionally, a longer duration of CME may result in a greater reduction in photoreceptor density.

Published: January 2024

Microplastics are recognized as common contaminants of coral ecosystem in Tidung Island, affecting both sediment and sea urchins residing in this environment. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the characteristics of microplastics found in sediment, the mouth, and the digestive system of sea urchins (Diadema sp.), assessing the relationship between coral cover percentage and microplastic type and size, and the transfer of microplastics from sediment to sea urchins. Sampling was conducted twice, namely in October 2021 and October 2022. Microplastics in sediments were extracted using ZnCl2. The destruction process of sea urchins used 30% H2O2 and FeSO4.7H2O, while the microplastics were identified with Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The results showed that the microplastics found in the sediments and sea urchins were similar in terms of shape, color, size, and plastic polymers. The forms of microplastics found in this study were fibre, fragment, and foam with fibre predominance, based on the results obtained. The size of microplastics found in sediments and sea urchins was dominated by sizes >1000 µm. Fibres were found in hard coral (HC) and dead coral (DC) conditions while fragments and foams were present in turf algae (TA), sponge (SP), and soft coral (SC) conditions. The microplastics found in sea urchins originate in part from sediments because they have similar characteristics. Sea urchins ingested microplastics from sediment, particularly those grown by algae as a food source. The increase in the number of microplastics found in sediment could potentially result in higher abundance in the biota.

Published: January 2024

AbstractCardiovascular rhythms representing functional states of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are insufficiently reflected by the current physiological model based on low and high frequency bands (LF, HF, resp.). An intermediate (IM) frequency band generated by a brainstem pacemaker was included in systemic physiological ANS analyses of forehead skin perfusion (SP), ECG, and respiration. Data of 38 healthy participants at T0 and T1 (+1 week) before, during, and following osteopathic cranial vault hold (CVH) stimulation were analyzed including momentary frequencies of highest amplitude, amplitudes in low (0.05–0.12 Hz), IM (0.12–0.18 Hz), and high (0.18–0.4 Hz) frequency bands, and established heart rate variability (HRV) metrics. During CVH, LF interval durations increased, whereas IM/HF band durations decreased significantly. Amplitudes increased significantly in all frequency bands. A cluster analysis found one response pattern dominated by IM activity (47% of participants) with highly stable 0.08 Hz oscillation to CVH, and one dominated by LF activity (0.10 Hz) at T0, increasing to IM activity at T1. Showing frequency ratios at ≈3:1, respiration was not responsible for oscillations in PPG during CVH. HRV revealed no significant responses. Rhythmic patterns in SP and respiration matched previous findings on a reticular “0.15 Hz rhythm”. Involvement of baroreflex pathways is discussed as alternative explanation.

AbstractAlthough zinc deficiency (secondary to malnutrition) has long been considered an important contributor to morbidity and mortality of infectious disease (e.g. diarrhea disorders), epidemiologic data (including randomized controlled trials with supplemental zinc) for such a role in lower respiratory tract infection are somewhat ambiguous. In the current study, we provide the first preclinical evidence demonstrating that although diet‐induced acute zinc deficiency (Zn‐D: ~50% decrease) did not worsen infection induced by either influenza A (H1N1) or methicillin‐resistant staph aureus (MRSA), Zn‐D mice were sensitive to the injurious effects of superinfection of H1N1 with MRSA. Although the mechanism underlying the sensitivity of ZnD mice to combined H1N1/MRSA infection is unclear, it was noteworthy that this combination exacerbated lung injury as shown by lung epithelial injury markers (increased BAL protein) and decreased genes related to epithelial integrity in Zn‐D mice (surfactant protein C and secretoglobins family 1A member 1). As bacterial pneumonia accounts for 25%–50% of morbidity and mortality from influenza A infection, zinc deficiency may be an important pathology component of respiratory tract infections.

Published: January 2024

AbstractThis pilot study aimed to evaluate if peak VO2 and ventilatory efficiency in combination would improve preoperative risk stratification beyond only relying on peak VO2. This was a single‐center retrospective cohort study including all patients who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) as part of preoperative risk evaluation before major upper abdominal surgery during years 2008–2021. The primary outcome was any major cardiopulmonary complication during hospitalization. Forty‐nine patients had a preoperative CPET before decision to pursue to surgery (cancer in esophagus [n = 18], stomach [6], pancreas [16], or liver [9]). Twenty‐five were selected for operation. Patients who suffered any major cardiopulmonary complication had lower ventilatory efficiency (i.e., higher VE/VCO2 slope, 37.3 vs. 29.7, p = 0.031) compared to those without complications. In patients with a low aerobic capacity (i.e., peak VO2 < 20 mL/kg/min) and a VE/VCO2 slope ≥ 39, 80% developed a major cardiopulmonary complication. In this pilot study of patients with preoperative CPET before major upper abdominal surgery, patients who experienced a major cardiopulmonary complication had significantly lower ventilatory efficiency compared to those who did not. A low aerobic capacity in combination with low ventilatory efficiency was associated with a very high risk (80%) of having a major cardiopulmonary complication.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The aim of this work was to assess the physical properties of Langmuir monolayers of three new oil blends “RBWg” (obtained by mixing rapeseed oil, black cumin oil, and wheat germ oil), “REp” (rapeseed oil and evening primrose oil), and “CRb” (camelina oil and rice bran oil), as well as to characterize the molecular dynamics of their protons using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF NMR) method. The studied blends are rich in oleic acid (C18:1), linolenic acid (C18:2), and α-linolenic acid (18:3). The chromatographically determined ratio of n6 to n3 fatty acids was found to be in the range of 5.18–5.27. The appropriate n6/n3 fatty acid ratio was also confirmed by FT-IR analysis. The spin–lattice relaxation rate (R
1) and spin–spin relaxation time (R
2) measured by LF NMR method were similar for the RBWg and REp blends but different from the third oil blend (CRb), which indicates lower proton mobility in CRb. The observed changes in the properties of monolayers of oil blends suggest that the refined rice bran oil in the CRb blend also significantly changes the viscoelastic properties of this blend. The results obtained in this study provide a theoretical basis for the development of a well-balanced approach to using oils in food production technology.
Preparing multi-layered visualisations of Old Babylonian cuneiform tablets for a machine learning OCR training model towards automated sign recognition

Published: January 2024

Abstract
In the framework of the CUNE-IIIF-ORM project the aim is to train an Artificial Intelligence Optical Character Recognition (AI-OCR) model that can automatically locate and identify cuneiform signs on photorealistic representations of Old Babylonian texts (c. 2000–1600 B.C.E.). In order to train the model, c. 200 documentary clay tablets have been selected. They are manually annotated by specialist cuneiformists on a set of 12 still raster images generated from interactive Multi-Light Reflectance images. This image set includes visualisations with varying light angles and simplifications based on the dept information on the impressed signs in the surface. In the Cuneur Cuneiform Annotator, a Gitlab-based web application, the identified cuneiform signs are annotated with polygons and enriched with metadata. This methodology builds a qualitative annotated training corpus of approximately 20,000 cropped signs (i.e. 240,000 visualizations), all with their unicode codepoint and conventional sign name. It will act as a multi-layerd core dataset for the further development and fine-tuning of a machine learning OCR training model for the Old Babylonian cuneiform script. This paper discusses how the physical nature of handwritten inscribed Old Babylonian documentary clay tablets challenges the annotation and metadating task, and how these have been addressed within the CUNE-IIIF-ORM project to achieve an effective training corpus to support the training of a machine learning OCR model.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Extended energy levels and transition data for the Yb LVII are calculated with the GRASP2018 package, which is based on the multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration methods. Complete and consistent data sets of energy levels, transition rates and lifetimes for electric-dipole (E1), electric-quadrupole (E2), magnetic-dipole (M1), and magnetic-quadrupole (M2) transitions among all these levels are given in this calculation. Three methods of uncertainty estimators are used to evaluate the accuracy of transition data. The computed results are also compared with other theoretical computations. The present results are reported as benchmarks for future calculations and measurements.

Authors: Yuan Chenyuan , Feng Guoying , Chen Qiangshen 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Na5Y(WO4)4: 6 % Eu3+, 6 % R+ (R = Li, Na, K) phosphors were synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state reaction method. Through a series of characterization methods, the crystal structure, morphology, composition, and luminescence properties of the sample are obtained. At the same time, the properties of Na5Y(WO4)4: Eu3+ phosphor added with alkali metal ions such as Li+, Na+, K+ were also studied. The experiment showed the red light emission and fluorescence lifetime of Na5Y(WO4)4: 6 % Eu3+ are improved through the doping of low concentration alkali metal agents, and Na5Y(WO4)4: 6 % Eu3+, 6 % Li+ obtained the strongest red light emission intensity. The results indicate that the red emissions intensity of Na5Y(WO4)4: Eu3+ can be enhanced through the Li+ alkali metal agents, which may lead to less use of Y3+ and hence lower cost.

The Covid-19 pandemic was caused by the SARS CoV-2 virus which resulted in changes in almost all aspects of people's lives in the world. One of them occurred in the field of education. In the education sector, the learning process takes place online and requires a variety of additional technologies to support the learning process. During the online learning process, teaching materials are also needed that are appropriate to the conditions that occur. The purpose of this research was to develop appropriate teaching materials for use during the Covid-19 pandemic. The type of research used is research development or Research and Development (R&D).
The validation test results carried out by media experts were 94.53% and the material expert validation results were 90.43%. In small-scale product trials, the final test results showed that only 13.9% of students did not pass. In the practicality questionnaire responses, students showed that 19% of students considered this teaching material practical and 81% considered this teaching material very practical. Whereas in the large-scale trial conducted in 3 classes with a total of 108 students, the final test results showed that only 7.4% of students did not pass. In the response questionnaire given to the teacher, the percentage results were 96.35% which was included in the very valid category. In the student response questionnaire, 11% of students considered this teaching material practical and the remaining 89% of students considered this teaching material very practical.
Based on the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that e-leaflet teaching materials using qr-codes on human excretory system material are feasible and practical to use in the online learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESPatient and Family Centered I-PASS (PFC I-PASS) emphasizes family and nurse engagement, health literacy, and structured communication on family-centered rounds organized around the I-PASS framework (Illness severity-Patient summary-Action items-Situational awareness-Synthesis by receiver). We assessed adherence, safety, and experience after implementing PFC I-PASS using a novel “Mentor-Trio” implementation approach with multidisciplinary parent-nurse-physician teams coaching sites.METHODSHybrid Type II effectiveness-implementation study from 2/29/19-3/13/22 with ≥3 months of baseline and 12 months of postimplementation data collection/site across 21 US community and tertiary pediatric teaching hospitals. We conducted rounds observations and surveyed nurses, physicians, and Arabic/Chinese/English/Spanish-speaking patients/parents.RESULTSWe conducted 4557 rounds observations and received 2285 patient/family, 1240 resident, 819 nurse, and 378 attending surveys. Adherence to all I-PASS components, bedside rounding, written rounds summaries, family and nurse engagement, and plain language improved post-implementation (13.0%–60.8% absolute increase by item), all P &lt; .05. Except for written summary, improvements sustained 12 months post-implementation. Resident-reported harms/1000-resident-days were unchanged overall but decreased in larger hospitals (116.9 to 86.3 to 72.3 pre versus early- versus late-implementation, P = .006), hospitals with greater nurse engagement on rounds (110.6 to 73.3 to 65.3, P &lt; .001), and greater adherence to I-PASS structure (95.3 to 73.6 to 72.3, P &lt; .05). Twelve of 12 measures of staff safety climate improved (eg, “excellent”/“very good” safety grade improved from 80.4% to 86.3% to 88.0%), all P &lt; .05. Patient/family experience and teaching were unchanged.CONCLUSIONSHospitals successfully used Mentor-Trios to implement PFC I-PASS. Family/nurse engagement, safety climate, and harms improved in larger hospitals and hospitals with better nurse engagement and intervention adherence. Patient/family experience and teaching were not affected.
Sociologia da Infância
Authors: Leite Ivonaldo 
Published: January 2024

Nos últimos tempos, a reflexão sociológica sobre as crianças tem vivido um considerável desenvolvimento, dando origem a uma nova área de especialização: a Sociologia da Infância. Tendo isso em atenção, determinadas abordagens têm se apressado em afirmar que essa incipiente área já atingiu a maturação requerida para o seu completo estabelecimento intelectual, estando consolidada como campo científico. O presente trabalho refuta essa tese, considerando, por exemplo, os aportes de Pierre Bourdieu a respeito do modus operandi do campo científico. Assim, é apresentada uma dupla hipótese a respeito dos estudos contemporâneos sobre a infância, isto é: 1) há uma dificuldade de a Sociologia da Infância se consolidar como campo científico; 2) essa dificuldade decorre, em parte, das particularidades internas desse incipiente campo, a exemplo dos percalços da sua estruturação e das perspectivas de abordagem concorrentes em seu interior. Busca-se averiguar essa hipótese realizando-se uma revisão da literatura sociológica sobre a infância produzida em língua portuguesa, inglesa, francesa e espanhola. Como resultado, infere-se a comprovação da hipótese e, entre as considerações conclusivas, é afirmado que, só a partir de uma sociologia reflexiva, se pode procurar fazer com que o sociólogo da infância evite os erros que debilitam o campo científico que ele pretende construir.
