Background: The current study explores the genetic underpinnings of cardiac arrhythmia phenotypes within Middle Eastern populations, which are under-represented in genomic medicine research. Methods: Whole-genome sequencing data from 14,259 individuals from the Qatar Biobank were used and contained 47.8% of Arab ancestry, 18.4% of South Asian ancestry, and 4.6% of African ancestry. The frequency of rare functional variants within a set of 410 candidate genes for cardiac arrhythmias was assessed. Polygenic risk score (PRS) performance for atrial fibrillation (AF) prediction was evaluated. Results: This study identified 1196 rare functional variants, including 162 previously linked to arrhythmia phenotypes, with varying frequencies across Arab, South Asian, and African ancestries. Of these, 137 variants met the pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) criteria according to ACMG guidelines. Of these, 91 were in ACMG actionable genes and were present in 1030 individuals (~7%). Ten P/LP variants showed significant associations with atrial fibrillation p < 2.4 × 10−10. Five out of ten existing PRSs were significantly associated with AF (e.g., PGS000727, p = 0.03, OR = 1.43 [1.03, 1.97]). Conclusions: Our study is the largest to study the genetic predisposition to arrhythmia phenotypes in the Middle East using whole-genome sequence data. It underscores the importance of including diverse populations in genomic investigations to elucidate the genetic landscape of cardiac arrhythmias and mitigate health disparities in genomic medicine.

Published: February 2024

BackgroundObstetric anal sphincter injury is the most common cause of anal incontinence for women, which often has profound impacts on women’s lives. GPs offer a first line of contact for many women, but we know that very few women experiencing anal incontinence postnatally report discussing it with their GPs.AimTo identify key ways in which GPs can support women with anal incontinence caused by childbirth injuries.Design and settingA qualitative study investigating women’s experiences with their GP, and GPs’ perspectives about providing such care.MethodThis qualitative study combined two phases: first, a series of in-depth semi-structured interviews with women experiencing anal incontinence caused by childbirth injuries (n= 41); and second, focus groups with GPs (n= 13) stratified by experience. Thematic analysis was conducted and relevant themes from across the two datasets were examined.ResultsMediating factors in GP care for women with anal incontinence caused by childbirth injuries centred around three key themes: the role of the GP, access and pathways, and communication.ConclusionThe findings demonstrate multifactorial challenges in identifying the problem and supporting women experiencing anal incontinence after childbirth injury in primary care settings. Many GPs lacked confidence in their role in supporting women, and women were often reluctant to seek help. Those women who did seek help often experienced frustrations consulting with their GPs. In a context where women are often reluctant to ask for help, their concerns are not always taken seriously, and where GPs do not routinely ask about anal incontinence, potential anal incontinence after childbirth injury appears to be often missed in a primary care setting.

Association between English Proficiency and Kidney Disease Knowledge and Communication Quality among Patients with ESKD
Authors: Martinez Ashley , Warner Austin , Powe Neil R. , Fernandez Alicia , Tuot Delphine S. 
Published: February 2024

Key Points

In one hospital-based safety-net dialysis unit, only one half of patients with ESKD knew their cause of kidney failure, which did not differ by English proficiency status.Patients with limited English proficiency (versus English-proficient patients) reported poorer communication with the dialysis care team (less listening, fewer clear explanations, less time spent).We highlight the need for tailored, patient-centered communication between limited English-proficient patients and dialysis care team members.

Background
ESKD is a chronic health condition for which communication between health care teams and patients is important to guide patient self-management activities. Yet, little is known about the quality of communication among patients with ESKD and their care team members. We examined the influence of patient's limited English proficiency (LEP) status on communication experiences at one dialysis center.

Methods
A survey was administered to adults receiving ESKD care at a dialysis unit within a public health care delivery system between July 2022 and February 2023, to ascertain kidney disease knowledge and perceptions of communication quality with the dialysis care team. Multivariable logistic and ordinal logistic regression models adjusted for age and sex were used to determine associations between LEP status and CKD knowledge.

Results
Among 93 eligible patients, 88.2% (n=82) completed the survey. Approximately 37.8% (n=31) had LEP, mean age was 58.8 years, 68.3% were men, mean dialysis vintage was 3.9 years, and 25% had a positive depression screen (LEP 30%; English-proficient 22%). A higher proportion of English-proficient patients screened positive for limited health literacy compared to those with LEP (74.5% versus 38.7%, P = 0.002). Overall, knowledge of assigned cause of ESKD (53.4%) and CKD/transplant knowledge (57.3%) was suboptimal. After adjustment, LEP status was not significantly associated with knowing the correct cause of kidney failure (odds ratio, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.19 to 1.27) but was significantly associated with having a higher score on a CKD/transplant knowledge scale (odds ratio, 3.99; 95% confidence interval, 1.66 to 9.58). Patients with LEP reported poorer communication quality with dialysis providers and staff (less listening, fewer clear explanations, less time spent with patients) compared with English-proficient patients, although differences were not statistically significant.

Conclusions
Overall communication between patients with ESKD and members of the dialysis care team was suboptimal, regardless of English proficiency. Interventions to enhance communication for ESKD patients are needed.
Simplified correlation-domain LiDAR without long delay fiber
Authors: Kiyozumi Takaki , Yoshida Soshi , Noda Kohei , Mizuno Yosuke 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) measures distance by emitting light onto targets and analyzing reflections. In addition to conventional LiDAR systems based on time-of-flight and frequency-modulated continuous-wave methods, correlation-domain LiDAR has been developed but with some challenges in miniaturization due to the use of a long delay fiber. This study addresses this issue by specifying modulation conditions and removing the delay fiber. We then demonstrate the distance measurement by this simplified correlation-domain LiDAR. This result enhances the potential of integrating correlation-domain LiDAR into various applications.
The concentration estimation for ensemble of NV– color centers with spin coherent manipulation

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The concentration and distribution of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy color centers (NV−) directly affect the sensitivity and resolution of quantum sensing. In this paper, a simple method is proposed to estimate the concentration of the ensemble of NV− centers with spin coherent manipulation. The stray fluorescence is eliminated by separating the fluorescence near the NV− zero-phonon line. By introducing a single NV− fluorescence quantitative model, the number of NV− centers in the diamond under test can be obtained. The average concentration of the ensemble of NV− centers in the sample can be obtained by combining the detection volume. Compared with the results measured by electron spin resonance, the concentration of NV− centers measured by our method can be verified, and the maximum error between the two methods is less than 4.3%. The results show that the method provides an effective reference for accurately characterizing the concentration distribution characteristics of the NV− ensemble.
Numerical investigation of cross-talk in chalcogenide triangular lattice fibers with three sublattices for mid-infrared image transport
Authors: Nakatani Asuka , de Clermont-Gallerande Jonathan , Suzuki Takenobu , Ohishi Yasutake 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
We have numerically analyzed the cross-talk in triangular lattice fibers (TLFs) with three sublattices made of chalcogenide glasses for high-resolution mid-IR image transport. The TLFs are composed of cores with three different diameters arranged on triangular sublattices. We determined the core diameters and the core spacing to minimize the cross-talk and to densely align the cores. In addition, we demonstrated that the core density in TLFs with three sublattices is 2.3 times higher than without sublattices.
Sub-50 mV power supply, recursive stacking body bias NAND gate for extremely low-voltage CMOS LSIs
Authors: Sumi Shintaro , Sebe Hikaru , Kanemoto Daisuke , Hirose Tetsuya 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a recursive stacking body-bias NAND for extremely low voltage application. Our proposed NAND utilizes recursive-stacking and body-bias techniques to achieve extremely low-voltage operation. The former suppresses off-leakage current of MOSFETs and enhances the voltage gain of the NAND gate. The latter achieves on-current enhancement and the voltage gain improvement of the NAND gate. Performance improvements of our proposed NAND gate are theoretically analyzed and discussed. Simulation of our proposed NAND gates showed that voltage transfer curves, voltage gains, and voltage swings were improved significantly. A prototype chip was fabricated in a 180 nm CMOS process and demonstrated that the voltage swing of the proposed NAND was 44.1 mV at 50 mV power supply, which was 16.4 mV improvement compared to that of the standard NAND gate, at the cost of area, power, and delay time.

The urgency of digital literacy in social media to prevent fraud in Islamic banking
Authors: Apriya Susi , Akbar Wahyu , Jaki Akhmad 
Published: February 2024

This study explores the use of social media to promote digital literacy and prevent Islamic banking fraud. The article argues that social media is a crucial space for people to access information and has an important role in disseminating information widely. These have not succeeded despite efforts to prevent Islamic banking fraud on social media. Reports from We Are Social, and the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) indicate that the percentage of social media usage in Indonesia is high, and the number of fraud cases has also increased. To address this issue, social media can provide education and information on fraud prevention through various means, such as fraud material, forms or ways of fraud, and tips on avoiding fraud.
Public interest statement
Digital literacy has always been a significant problem. It has a significant role in overcoming problems in the era of Revolution 4.0. Meanwhile, social media has become the closest space for people to carry out their activities, including obtaining information. Therefore, digital literacy can be optimized on social media platforms to prevent current fraud, namely fraud with the type of social engineering in Islamic banking.

Determinant of Muslim women to visit "viral" places: Understanding the influence of social media, distance, and Fear of Missing Out (FoMo)
Authors: Sakti Indra 
Published: February 2024

The study explores the relationships between social media intensity, FoMO, visit intention, and potential mediation and moderation effects of perceived distance. 186 Muslim women were involved in the study, and the data were analyzed using moderation-mediation procedures. The results reveal a substantial positive correlation between the intensity of social media use and FoMO, indicating that an increased investment of time in social media corresponds to increased FoMO levels among respondents. Moreover, a robust positive correlation was identified between the intensity of social media use and respondents' intention to visit a place and FoMO's intention to visit. The results of this research study also reveal the mediating role of FoMO and moderating perceived distance on the relationship between social media intensity and visit intention.
Public interest statement
The study uncovers that FoMO significantly motivates the intention to visit the place. Further scrutiny indicates that social media intensity indirectly influences the intention to visit through FoMO, revealing mediation effects. The research sets the stage for subsequent investigations aimed at a deeper understanding of the roles played by social media and FoMO in shaping tourism intentions
Relationship Between SpO2/FiO2 Ratio to Community Acquired Pneumonia Patient Outcomes at Kolonel Abunjani Bangko General Hospital
Authors: Lindra Derallah A , Sari Oktriga A. 
Published: February 2024

Background: Acute lower respiratory tract infection causes high morbidity and mortality, which can be found in the form of pneumonia. Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) severe pneumonia can lead to acute respiratory distress. To diagnose acute respiratory disorders, namely Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Stress Syndrome (ARDS), the ratio PaO2/FiO2 is used. This requires invasive action by taking an arterial blood sample, which is expensive and not available in all health facilities. An alternative is pulse oximetry, which measures the SpO2/FiO2 ratio and is available in health facilities. It is inexpensive and non-invasive. This study aims to determine the relationship between SpO2 and FiO2 with the outcome of community pneumonia patients at Kolonel Abunjani Bangko Hospital.
Method: The study design was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional design. The research subjects were a total sampling of medical record data from inpatients with community acquired pneumonia for the period January-December 2022. The study variables included gender, age, SpO2/FiO2 ratio, and outcomes of pneumonia patients. Univariate and bivariate statistical tests were used to analyze the data.
Results: In this study, there were 43 subjects who met the inclusion criteria. The distribution of inpatient community acquired pneumonia patients, especially in the gender was mostly male (67.4%), the highest age was 56–65 years and >65 years (both 37.2%), the median SpO2 was 94% (36-99%), the median SpO2/FiO2 ratio was 447 (171-471%), the highest outcomes were alive patients (36 patients). The ratio of SpO2/FiO2 >316 was the majority (33 patients). Based on the relationship between the SpO2/FiO2 ratio and the outcome of CAP with alive outcome was a SpO2/FiO2 ratio >236 was more numerous than SpO2/FiO2 ratio <236 with value of P=0.0005.
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the SpO2/FiO2 ratio and the outcome of community acquired pneumonia patients at Kolonel Abundjani Hospital Bangko.

Authors: Wahyuni Titis Dewi , Alatas Mohammad Fahmi , Widyasanto Allen , Siahaan Sylvia Sagita , Muljadi Rusli , Carolline Chaifung 
Published: February 2024

Background: Bronchial stenosis is known as a complication of endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB). The incidence of stenosis affects quality of life. A minimally invasive therapeutic strategy, bronchoscopic balloon dilatation (BBD), can be chosen to manage the disease.
Case: A 29-year-old woman suffered from bronchial stenosis, which appeared after completing treatment for tuberculosis (TB). She was diagnosed with TB around the middle of her pregnancy. She received anti-tuberculosis treatment for six months. Two years later, she complained of a persistent cough for two weeks prior to hospitalization. A complete stenosis of the left main bronchus with atelectatic on the left lung was seen on a chest CT scan. The result was confirmed with a bronchoscopy procedure. There were no mycobacteria or other suspicious organisms found in bronchial washings. Bronchoscopic balloon dilatation action was successful.
Discussion: Endobronchial tuberculosis is a tuberculous infection that affects the tracheobronchial tree. It can be treated with minimally invasive procedures like bronchoscopy or surgical interventions. If the stenosis is mild or moderate, several procedures such as balloon dilatation, stents, laser photoresection, argon plasma coagulation, and cryotherapy are often performed. Bronchoscopy balloon dilatation nowadays has become a more preferred treatment option for tracheal and bronchial stenosis because it may be areliable and effective method.
Conclusion: The BDD procedure in this patient showed good results. This procedure is fast, easy, safe, minimally invasive, and the symptoms resolve quickly. It can be concluded that BBD is a safe and effective therapy for TB-related bronchial stenosis, but the long-term effects of the procedure remain to be monitored.

Published: February 2024

Suatu buku dapat dikatakan sebagai buku sastra anak bila memenuhi aspek-aspek tertentu. Menurut pandangan Saxby, aspek tersebut terletak pada kemampuan citraan dan metafora kehidupan yang dapat dipahami oleh anak serta melibatkan berbagai aspek di dalam diri mereka. Beberapa aspek dari diri anak yang terlibat dalam proses ini mencakup emosi, perasaan, pikiran, saraf sensori, dan pengalaman moral. Suatu cerita anak akan tersampaikan dengan lebih efektif bila dihadirkan bersama dengan ilustrasi. Studi kasus yang diambil pada penelitian ini adalah buku cerita Lost and Found karya Oliver Jeffers. Analisis narasi dilakukan dengan mempertimbangkan kesesuaian genre dan subgenre juga tingkatan makna denotasi dan konotasinya. Sementara ilustrasinya dianalisis dari sudut pandang teori bahasa rupa (RWD & NPM) serta bentuk pencitraan visual. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang didukung dengan berbagai sumber data. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa buku cerita tersebut dapat dikategorikan sebagai buku sastra bacaan anak yang dalam tahapan prakarsa versus kesalahan (usia 3-6 tahun), menggunakan kombinasi bahasa rupa RWD dan NPM dengan bergaya visual literal dan bergaya narasi metafora.
