Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
New interventions based on motor learning principles and neural plasticity have been tested among patients with ataxia and hemiparesis. Therapies of pedaling exercises have also shown their potential to induce improvements in muscle activity, strength, and balance. Virtual reality (VR) has been demonstrated as an effective tool for improving the adherence to physical therapy, but it is still undetermined if it promotes greater improvements than conventional therapy.

Objective
Our objective was to compare the effect on lower limb range of motion (ROM) when using VR technology for cycling exercise versus not using VR technology.

Methods
A randomized controlled trial with 20 patients with ataxia and hemiparesis was carried out. The participants were divided into 2 groups: the experimental group (n=10, 50%) performed pedaling exercises using the VR system and the control group (n=10, 50%) performed pedaling exercises without using VR. Measurements of the active and passive ROM of the hip and knee joint were taken before and after a cycling intervention, which consisted of 3 sessions of the same duration but with progressively increasing speeds (4, 5, and 6 km/h). Repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted to compare the preintervention (Ti) and postintervention (Te) assessments within each group. Additionally, the improvement effect of using the VR system was analyzed by comparing the variation coefficient (Δ = 1 – [Te / Ti]) between the preintervention and postintervention assessments for each group. Group comparisons were made using independent 1-tailed t tests.

Results
Significant improvements were shown in active left hip flexion (P=.03) over time, but there was no group-time interaction effect (P=.67). Passive left hip flexion (P=.93) did not show significant improvements, and similar results were observed for active and passive right hip flexion (P=.39 and P=.83, respectively). Neither assessments of knee flexion (active left: P=.06; passive left: P=.76; active right: P=.34; passive right: P=.06) nor knee extension showed significant changes (active left: P=.66; passive left: P=.92; active right: P=.12; passive right: P=.38). However, passive right knee extension (P=.04) showed a significant improvement over time. Overall, although active and passive ROM of the knee and hip joints showed a general improvement, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups.

Conclusions
In this study, participants who underwent the cycling intervention using the VR system showed similar improvement in lower limb ROM to the participants who underwent conventional training. Ultimately, the VR system can be used to engage participants in physical activity.
Usability of an App for Medical History Taking in General Practice From the Patients’ Perspective: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Albrink Klara , Schröder Dominik , Joos Carla , Müller Frank , Noack Eva Maria 
Published: January 2024

Background
A future shortage of physicians, especially in general practice, will result in an increasing workload for health care providers as a whole. Therefore, it is important to optimize patient-encounter processes to increase time efficiency related to visits. Utilizing digital tools to record patients’ medical histories prior to a consultation offers great potential to achieve this goal. The collected information can be stored into the practice’s electronic medical record, allowing for the general practitioner to review structured information of the patients’ complaints and related medical history beforehand, thereby saving time during the encounter. However, the low usability of new digital developments in this setting often hinders implementation.

Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usability of an app designed for medical history taking in general practice to capture the patients’ perspective.

Methods
Between November 2021 and January 2022, we recruited 406 patients with acute complaints in one out-of-hour urgent care and seven general practice clinics. These study participants used the app during their waiting time and subsequently assessed its usability by completing the System Usability Scale (SUS), a robust and well-established 10-question survey measuring the perceived usability of products and technologies. Additionally, we collected general participant information, including age, sex, media usage, health literacy, and native language. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to identify patient characteristics associated with low or high SUS scores.

Results
We analyzed data from 397 patients (56.7% female, 43.3% male). The mean total SUS score was 77.8 points; 54.4% (216/397) of participants had SUS scores of 80 points or higher, indicating high usability of the app. In a multiple linear regression predicting SUS score, male sex and higher age (65 years or older) were significantly negatively associated with the SUS score. Conversely, a higher health literacy score and German as the native language were significantly positively associated with the SUS score.

Conclusions
Usability testing based on the SUS anticipates successful implementation of the app. However, not all patients will easily adapt to utilizing the app, as exemplified by the participants of older age in this study who reported lower perceived usability. Further research should examine these groups of people, identify the exact problems in operating such an app, and provide targeted solutions.

Authors:   University of Latvia, Institute of Biology, Ozolins Davis , Grinberga Laura , Skuja Agnija , Kokorite Ilga 
Published: January 2024

Macroinvertebrates and macrophytes were used as indicators to assess the ecological quality of five Latvian-Lithuanian transboundary lakes. The aim of the study is to ensure joint quality assessment of trans-boundary lake water bodies, because studied lakes pose a risk for not meeting good status according to the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. The fieldwork was performed in May and October 2021. Macroinvertebrates demonstarted good ecological quality at all studied lakes using both Latvian and Lithuanian multimetric macroinvertebrate indices. The non-biting midges Chironomidae, as well as the mayfly species Caenis horaria and Cloeon dipterum, were dominant in macroinvertebrate communities of the studied lakes. The invasive species zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha was present in four lakes while the spiny-cheek crayfish Orconectes limosus was observed in two out of five lakes. In addition, the medical leech Hirudo medicinalis was found in Lake Lielais Kumpinišķu; it is a species protected under the Habitats directive (Annex V) and under the Latvian Regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers No 396.

This article aims to describe the meanings, motivations, and discrimination related to the use of veils among students at UIN Ar-Raniry. This research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach, and data were obtained from various sources, including field observations, direct interviews with informants, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings of this study indicate that female students interpret the use of veils in various ways, such as self-defense, an expression of obedience to God, and an understanding of Islamic law. They also view the veil as a means to protect themselves from unwanted attention, as part of their journey of religious conversion, and as a way to maintain modesty and behavior in accordance with Islamic teachings. Motivations behind the use of veils by female students include a desire to draw closer to Islamic teachings, self-protection, and social influence. This reflects a combination of psychological, social, and spiritual factors in their decision to wear the veil. This study also reveals that some female students experience discrimination and negative stereotypes as a result of wearing veils, including being perceived as extremists or terrorists. These experiences indicate that the use of veils in an academic environment can also trigger prejudice and negative social reactions.

Virus as a figure of geontopower or how to practice Foucault now?
Authors: Jardim Fabiana , Skoglund Annika , Purakayastha Anindya Sekhar , Armstrong David 
Published: January 2024

Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Franz Boas Professor at Columbia University, is a philosopher and anthropologist who has critically engaged with Michel Foucault’s ideas as well as scholarship inspired by his works. Povinelli has been dedicated to research on colonialism within liberalism and is also a filmmaker and founding member of The Karrabing Film Collective. The film collective is part of a larger organization of Aboriginal peoples and artists living in the Australian Northern Territory that refuses ‘fantasies of sovereignty and property’.[1]
As Povinelli shares with us during the interview, her trajectory was constituted in the middle of the 1980s following her life-changing encounter with the elders in Belyuen in the Australian Northern Territory. In the wake of that encounter, and with urgent issues raised about indigeneity due to changes in Australian law, Povinelli has been working even closer with her Karrabing family. The changes in law both acknowledged Aboriginal peoples' rights to their territory and imposed certain ideas of identity, family and culture, producing an entanglement between rights and government. These efforts to manage differences – cultural, race, gender – are problematized and deciphered in Povinelli’s ethnographic work with a focus on how late settler liberalism has been reconfigured with novel expressions of colonialism and imperialism.

El efecto del entrenamiento propioceptivo en la recuperación funcional en artrosis de la base del pulgar. A propósito de un caso
Authors: A Tuljak , R C Téllez 
Published: January 2024

El complejo ligamentario dorsal del pulgar es la estructura con mayor concentración de mecanorreceptores, especialmente corpúsculos de Ruffini. Todas las aferencias que se originan en los mecanorreceptores del pulgar constituyen su propiocepción, que es esencial para un control sensoriomotor bien adaptado (Suetterlin y Sayer,2014). Las enfermedades que tienen implicancia sobre el pulgar, como la osteoartritis (OA) carpo-metacarpiana (CMC), impactan en su función, y consecuentemente en el desempeño ocupacional de las personas.
Una mujer de 50 años con OA CMC fue derivada para tratamiento conservador de Terapia Ocupacional (T.O), diagnosticada cuatro meses antes, el diagnóstico médico explicitaba estadio II de Eaton et al. en mano derecha, dominante. Trabajó 28 años como empleada administrativa y actualmente es ama de casa. En la evaluación inicial refirió preocupación y frustración al realizar sus actividades diarias, acusó dolor y presentó deterioro en la función manual.
Se aplicó un tratamiento conservador tradicional combinado con ejercicios propioceptivos durante 3 meses. Las medidas de resultado indicaron una mejora en la propiocepción del pulgar y una mejora significativa en el desempeño ocupacional y el dolor. Se incluyeron el Joint Position Sense Test, la Medida Canadiense de Rendimiento Ocupacional, la sub Escala Funcional del Australian Canadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index y la Escala Visual Analógica. Seguimientos: 1 mes y 3 meses.
El tratamiento mejoró significativamente el desempeño ocupacional y sensibilidad propioceptiva de un paciente con deterioro funcional relacionado con OA CMC en su mano dominante.

Published: January 2024

Estudio exploratorio-descriptivo sobre un grupo de profesionales costarricenses en psicología acerca de sus actitudes hacia la aplicación de los principios psicológicos en la práctica odontológica. La muestra fue de 377 psicólogos (activos en el Colegio de Profesionales en Psicología de Costa Rica). A partir del cuestionario original diseñado por Gómez y Gómez (2007), el cual fue construido para estimar la necesidad de conformar programas universitarios que integren la psicología y la odontología, se aplicó una adaptación consistente en una encuesta de 10 preguntas autoadministradas de selección simple, la cual se efectuó en línea a través del sistema QuestionPro®. Se pudo evidenciar que existe una actitud positiva ante el enfoque interdisciplinario entre la Odontología y la Psicología; se demostró que un 74% de la muestra sostiene que los aspectos psicosociales son “Bastante importantes” en el marco de la atención odontológica. A pesar de ello, la mayoría (57%) de las personas consultadas indicó que no ha tenido ocasión de aplicar sus conocimientos y experiencia en psicología al contexto odontológico. Asimismo, un 72% de los participantes considera “Bastante importante” que los profesionales en Odontología reciban capacitación básica en el área psicológica para la prevención o contención de ciertos síntomas que puedan incidir en la salud mental. Por otra parte, el 80% de quienes respondieron la encuesta indicaron que las iniciativas interdisciplinarias de colaboración científica (investigación) y aplicada (ejercicio profesional) son “Bastante importantes” para producir beneficios tangibles en la prestación de servicios integrales a los pacientes y el bienestar del personal sanitario.
Cybersecurity Risk and Audit Pricing—A Machine Learning-Based Analysis
Authors: Jiang Wanying 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Cybersecurity risk represents a growing business threat. However, little attention has been paid to its assessment. This study proposes a machine learning algorithm that considers firm cybersecurity risk disclosure, information technology governance, external monitoring by financial analysts and auditors, and general firm characteristics to estimate cybersecurity risk (i.e., the likelihood of a firm experiencing data breaches during a year). This measure outperforms the measure produced by logistic regression models, is higher in industries more prone to cyberattacks, and effectively predicts future data breaches and firm use of cybersecurity insurance policies. I also examine whether auditors consider firm cybersecurity risk in the engagement planning process, finding that, on average, a one-percentage-point increase in cybersecurity risk is associated with a 1.15 percent increase in audit fees. In addition, auditors charge a fee premium after a data breach only if the client has heightened cybersecurity risk.

Estado de direito para quem?
Authors: Silva Luciano Braz 
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo pretendendo fazer uma releitura dos pressupostos de validade do direito toma como campo de pesquisa o mundo da vida interpretado como esfera dos discursos, dos diálogos interpelativos, e do próprio exercício democrático. Dado às realidades dispares situadas no mundo da vida, questiona-se a própria validade do direito quando temas ligados aos direitos fundamentais do homem, sua dignidade e reconhecimento e, a compreensão do Estado Democrático de Direito se contradizem ante realidades que ainda apontam pessoas, grupos, e etnias esquecidas à margem da sociedade. A insuficiência em termos de abastecimento soma-se à insuficiência em termos de segurança e a uma profusão de riscos ainda presentes na sociedade. Nesse ínterim, surgem custos sociais que parecem exigir demais da capacidade de integração de uma sociedade liberal. São indubitáveis indicadores que mensuram o grau de pobreza que se alastra nos países subdesenvolvidos, bem como em alguns países da Europa, o grau de insegurança social que se instala entre as classes sociais, refletem o crescimento de disparidades salariais que evidenciam o colapso da desintegração social instaurada nos países latinos.
