The Efficacy and Therapeutic Alliance of Augmented Reality Exposure Therapy in Treating Adults With Phobic Disorders: Systematic Review
Authors: Hasan Safa , Alhaj Hamid , Hassoulas Athanasios 
Published: November 2023

Background
Phobic disorders are characterized by excessive fear of a stimulus that can affect the quality of a patient’s life. The lifetime prevalence in adults is 7.7% to 12.5%. The current literature provides evidence-based inferences about the effectiveness of in-vivo exposure therapy (IVET) in treating phobia. However, this method can put the therapist and the client in danger, with high drop out and refusal rates. A newer approach for exposure therapy using augmented reality technology is under assessment.

Objective
This systematic review investigated the novel technology’s efficacy, cost-efficacy, and therapeutic alliance in treating adults with phobia.

Methods
An extensive search was conducted using 4 major databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, and Scopus) using a comprehensive list of synonyms for augmented reality exposure therapy (ARET) and phobic disorders. The search targeted any randomized control trial testing ARET in adults with phobic disorders up to August 8, 2022.

Results
A total of 6 studies were included, with 208 participants providing results. Studies investigating the efficacy of ARET compared to no intervention showed significant results (P<.05) in the ARET group improvement. Head-to-head comparative studies comparing ARET to IVET showed no significant difference (P>.05) in the effectiveness and therapeutic alliance between both therapies. Further, the results demonstrated that the ARET group had a better long-term effect than IVET, with the ability to put the patients in more situations to face the feared object.

Conclusions
The current data suggest clinically significant efficacy and a promising therapeutic alliance of ARET. However, no data are available investigating the cost-effectiveness of ARET. Further research is warranted to ascertain ARET’s cost-effectiveness and examine its efficacy in other populations and anxiety conditions.

High school is an important period for the development of one's personality. Positive or negative influences can easily be absorbed by teenagers at that age. This is considered a good opportunity for the PkM team of the English Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada to share knowledge with the students of SMA Muhammadiyah Bumiayu. With a mentoring approach (online & offline), the team invited the high school students to learn to write descriptive feature stories centered on the topic of tourist attractions around the Bumiayu District and the traditional culinary specialties of the area. The writings produced by the assisted students show good success from the mentoring system applied, but there are still some linguistic and organizational problems that need to be improved.

Background
Little is known about the time-varying determinants of kidney graft failure in children.

Methods
We performed a retrospective study of primary pediatric kidney transplant recipients (younger than 18 years) from the Eurotransplant registry (1990–2020). Piece-wise exponential additive mixed models were applied to analyze time-varying recipient, donor, and transplant risk factors. Primary outcome was death-censored graft failure.

Results
We report on 4528 kidney transplantations, of which 68% with deceased and 32% with living donor. One thousand six hundred and thirty-eight recipients experienced graft failure, and 168 died with a functioning graft. Between 2011 and 2020, the 5-year graft failure risk was 10% for deceased donor and 4% for living donor kidney transplant recipients. Risk of graft failure decreased five-fold from 1990 to 2020. The association between living donor transplantation and the lower risk of graft failure was strongest in the first month post-transplant (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.58; 95% confidence interval, 0.46 to 0.73) and remained statistically significant until 12 years post-transplant. Risk factors for graft failure in the first 2 years were deceased donor younger than 12 years or older than 46 years, potentially recurrent kidney disease, and panel-reactive antibody >0%. Other determinants of graft failure included dialysis before transplantation (until 5 years post-transplant), human leukocyte antigen mismatch 2–4 (0–15 years post-transplant), human leukocyte antigen mismatch 5–6 (2–12 years post-transplant), and hemodialysis (8–14 years post-transplant). Recipients older than 11 years at transplantation had a higher risk of graft failure 1–8 years post-transplant compared with other age groups, whereas young recipients had a lower risk throughout follow-up. Analysis of the combined effect of post-transplant time and recipient age showed a higher rate of graft failure during the first 5 years post-transplant in adolescents compared with young transplant recipients. In contrast to deceased donor younger than 12 years, deceased donor older than 46 years was consistently associated with a higher graft failure risk.

Conclusions
We report a long-term inverse association between living donor kidney transplantation and the risk of graft failure. The determinants of graft failure varied with time. There was a significant cumulative effect of adolescence and time post-transplant. The ideal donor age window was dependent on time post-transplant.

Charcot Foot Offloading in Stage 0 Is Associated With Shorter Total Contact Cast Treatment and Lower Risk of Recurrence and Reconstructive Surgery: A Pilot Study
Authors: Schoug Johan , Katzman Per , Fagher Katarina , Löndahl Magnus 
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE
Charcot foot (CF) requires prolonged offloading of the affected foot to decrease the risk of deformity. The earliest phase in active CF (stage 0) is characterized by inflammatory signs without established fractures or skeletal deformity. We investigated whether offloading in stage 0 influences duration of total contact casting (TCC), risk of recurrence, and future need for surgery.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
All patients treated for active CF at Skåne University Hospital (Lund, Sweden) between 2006 and 2019 were screened for participation in a retrospective cohort study. CF events of included patients were classified as stage 0 or 1 according to X-ray and MRI reports.

RESULTS
A total of 183 individuals (median age 61 [interquartile range (IQR) 52–68] years, 37% type 1 diabetes, 62% men) were followed for a median of 7.0 (IQR 3.9–11) years. In 198 analyzed CF events, 74 were treated with offloading in stage 0 and 124 in stage 1. Individuals offloading in stage 0 had significantly shorter TCC duration (median 75 [IQR 51–136] vs. 111.5 [72–158] days; P = 0.001). The difference was sustained when including only MRI-confirmed CF. The risk of developing new ipsilateral CF events &gt;1 year after introduced definitive footwear was lower in those treated with offloading in stage 0 (2.7% vs. 9.7%; P &lt; 0.05). No individual treated with offloading in stage 0 underwent reconstructive surgery, compared with 11 (8.9%) treated with offloading in stage 1 (P &lt; 0.01). Amputation rates were similar.

CONCLUSIONS
Offloading in stage 0 CF was associated with shorter TCC treatment, lower risk of a new CF event, and diminished need for reconstructive surgery. Future amputation risk was not affected.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. The three-layer structure, having a low weight, has sufficient rigidity and strength to absorb various force and physical impacts of both static and dynamic nature. By combining materials and thicknesses of bearing layers and filler, it is possible to achieve the desired physical and mechanical properties of the three-layer structure.In this regard, this paper considers the stress-strain state of a three-layer beam with different thicknesses of bearing layers and filler height.Materials and Methods. The calculation of a three-layer beam according to the known theory of calculation is presented. As an example, a three-layer beam with a length of 70 cm was considered, its width varied depending on the size of the hexagonal cell face of the filler. The thickness of the bearing layers was varied from 1 to 1.5 mm and the thickness of the filler from 0.12 to 0.30 mm. The bearing layers were made of aluminum AMG2-H, and the hexagonal honeycomb filler was made of aluminum alloy D16-AT.Results. Based on the obtained data, graphs of stresses and strains (deflections) variation with the distributed load were plotted for each tested specimen. The graphical dependences are given for symmetrical and asymmetrical three-layer beams.Discussion and Conclusion. The obtained theoretical data on deformations (deflections) and stresses made it possible to determine the effective combination of bearing layers, at which the three-layer beam becomes effective. On the basis of the analysis of these data, conclusions characterizing the efficiency improvement of the three-layer beam were made.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Delivering a construction project successfully is associated with the procurement system used. In other words, the selection of the appropriate system can guarantee the success of the construction project. Therefore, this paper evaluated and compared the effects of the most-utilised project procurement systems on the key performance criteria in the Rwandan building construction projects such as time, cost, quality and scope. A questionnaire survey was conducted among contractors, consultants and clients, and a total of 73 questionnaires were used for the analysis. The survey results, analysed by using statistic method, discovered that the traditional procurement system of design-bid-build (DBB) is the most-employed system in Rwanda. Also, it was revealed that in the Rwandan building construction industry, the construction management (CM) system was identified as a system that performs better for more objectives than others. Specifically, the results showed that owner direct force (ODF) is suitable for cost effectiveness, design and build (DB) system is better for time performance, and CM performs better for both scope and quality achievement. This study will facilitate Rwandan construction practitioners to be able to choose the appropriate option that suits the main objectives of their projects in order to reduce risks resulting from the use of unrelated procurement systems.

Published: November 2023

Analysis of image content is important in the classification of images, identification, retrieval, and recognition processes. The medical image datasets for content-based medical image retrieval ( are large datasets that are limited by high computational costs and poor performance. The aim of the proposed method is to enhance this image retrieval and classification by using a genetic algorithm (GA) to choose the reduced features and dimensionality. This process was created in three stages. In the first stage, two algorithms are applied to extract the important features; the first algorithm is the Contrast Enhancement method and the second is a Discrete Cosine Transform algorithm. In the next stage, we used datasets of the medical images using GA-based feature selection to find feature vectors. Images from the datasets and images from the query are recognized using a correlation coefficient. The third stage of the proposed method used a diverse density algorithm feedback technique to enhance the performance of the . Images of breast cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, etc., may be retrieved using the suggested procedure. By using a feature selection algorithm based on GA to determine the best subset of features, the challenge of system dimensionality is reduced. The suggested method has greater accuracy in precision, recall, and F-score than the other techniques.

Motivating Tacit Knowledge Sharing: The Role of Perceived Value of Knowledge and Organizational Citizenship Behavior
Authors: Mahmood Ayyaz , R Tasmin , Saeed Bilal , Nguyen Mai , Hafeez Aamer 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: This study investigates the challenge of retaining and sharing tacit knowledge during employee transitions in organizations, with a specific focus on software developers' motivations. We examine two key motivational beliefs: the perceived value of knowledge and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and their influence on sharing intentions. Additionally, we explore how these beliefs shape attitudes, subsequently affecting intentions regarding tacit knowledge sharing.

Theoretical Framework: Grounded in the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), our research underscores the pivotal role of beliefs in shaping attitudes and intentions related to tacit knowledge sharing. Beliefs, encompassing the Perceived Value of Knowledge and OCB, play a significant role in molding attitudes. Using structural equation modeling, we analyze data collected from 197 software developers, employing confirmatory factor analysis to validate our measurement model and structural model analysis to explore relationships.

Findings: Our findings indicate that software developers are indeed willing to share their tacit knowledge, with their willingness positively influenced by the perceived value of tacit knowledge and engagement in OCB. Attitudes towards sharing tacit knowledge act as mediators in the relationship between these beliefs and sharing intentions.

Implications: In practical terms, organizations can foster tacit knowledge sharing by promoting positive attitudes, recognizing knowledge's perceived value, and cultivating a culture that encourages OCB. This facilitates a conducive environment for sharing, further enhanced by acknowledging and rewarding employees who exhibit OCB. Theoretical implications align with the Theory of Reasoned Action, emphasizing the role of attitude in shaping intentions. Our research contributes uniquely by exploring the underrepresented relationship between perceived knowledge value and tacit knowledge sharing, introducing a novel approach by examining the combined impact of OCB and perceived value. These insights are valuable for organizations looking to cultivate a culture of tacit knowledge sharing, driving innovation and enhancing performance.
