Published: November 2023

Objective: This article aims to investigate the various forms of community participation in supporting sustainable development programs in rural areas. It specifically examines the nature and extent of community involvement across different stages of program development, highlighting the key actors and categories of participation.

Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework for this research is grounded in the concept of community participation in development, which is a fundamental principle of sustainable development. The study draws on the works of scholars who have explored community engagement and its significance in achieving development goals, particularly in rural contexts. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a backdrop to assess the alignment of community participation with global development priorities.

Method: This research employs a qualitative approach to capture the nuances of community participation in sustainable development programs. Data is gathered through in-depth interviews with development participants and focus group discussions. The qualitative methodology allows for a deeper understanding of the forms, actors, and dynamics of community involvement.

Result and Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that community participation is integral to all stages of sustainable development program development: planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The research identifies two main channels through which community participation occurs: formal village institutional channels, including village community empowerment institutions and community representative bodies, and informal channels, which involve community leaders, religious figures, youth leaders, and professionals. Community participation takes three primary forms: contributions of ideas and thoughts, material contributions, and donations of energy.

Originality/value: This research contributes to the understanding of community participation in the context of sustainable development in rural areas. It highlights the diverse ways in which communities engage in development initiatives and emphasizes their essential role in achieving the SDGs. The study's value lies in its potential to inform policymakers, practitioners, and academics about the significance of community participation and its implications for the success of sustainable development programs.

COVID-19 a volby a referendum v České republice: zkušenosti, otevřené otázky a podněty de lege ferenda
Authors: Grinc Jan , Antoš Marek 
Published: November 2023

Článek se zabývá různými aspekty právní úpravy voleb a referenda v České republice v kontextu pandemie onemocnění COVID-19, ale potenciálně i jiných zdravotních hrozeb a mimořádných situací. Je rozdělen do dvou částí. V první části se článek zabývá výkladem ústavních podmínek pro odložení voleb, kriticky hodnotí případ odložení doplňovacích voleb do Senátu, upozorňuje na některé otevřené otázky ústavní úpravy a zaujímá k nim stanovisko. Ve druhé části článek hodnotí přijaté i nepřijaté změny volebních pravidel, které reagovaly na šíření onemocnění COVID-19. Pozornost je věnována především jednorázovým zákonům o zvláštních způsobech hlasování. V návaznosti na to se článek zamýšlí nad ústavností současné právní úpravy překážky výkonu volebního práva z důvodu ochrany veřejného zdraví a nad otázkou distančního hlasování jako prostředku pro zmírnění zdravotních rizik voleb. Článek dospívá k závěru, že Česká republika jako demokratický právní stát v obtížné situaci způsobené onemocněním COVID-19 v oblasti voleb celkově obstála. Bylo by ale vhodné zohlednit získané zkušenosti i odhalené nedostatky při revizi volebních předpisů, k čemuž zatím nedošlo.

Chlamydia antibody titre as a predictor of tubal factor infertility
Authors: Olokor OE  , Aziken ME  
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND: Genital Chlamydia trachomatis is major cause of tubal factor infertility. Assessment of tubal patency by hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy are invasive and expensive. In low resource setting, there may be a place for Chlamydia Antibody Titre (CAT) in infertility work up.Objective: To determine the predictive value of Chlamydia antibody titre in tubal factor infertility.Materials and Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of women presenting with infertility at the Human Reproduction Research Programme unit of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria. All the women had serum Chlamydia antibody titre and hysterosalpingography and where indicated, laparoscopy and dye test. The predictive value of Chlamydia Antibody was assessed using likelihood ratios.Results: The prevalence of Chlamydia antibody among women with infertility was 32.1%. This was significantly higher among women with HSG diagnosed tubal damage (72.1% vs 27.9%; P = 0.000). The sensitivity and specificity of Chlamydia Antibody were 84.6% and 66.7% respectively while the sensitivity and specificity of Hysterosalpingogram were 85.7% and 50% respectively. The positive likelihood ratio (LR+) and negative likelihood ratio (LR-) of CAT were 2.58 and 0.22 respectively while the LR+ and LR- of HSG were 1.72 and 0.28 respectively. Both tests showed comparable predictive value in screening for tubal damage.Conclusions: The predictive value of CAT was comparable to that of HSG. Chlamydia antibody titre determination is non-invasive and inexpensive and may be used in infertility screening to select patient for HSG and laparoscopy.

Objetivo: El hipotiroidismo congénito es una de las principales causas de retardo mental prevenibles, por esta razón su diagnóstico debe ser temprano y el tratamiento oportuno. El objetivo del presente trabajo es el de determinar la edad actual de diagnóstico del hipotiroideo congénito mediante criterios clínicos.
Materiales y Métodos: Se trata de un estudio de tipo descriptivo, longitudinal y retrospectivo. Se analizaron 247 historias clínicas, de las cuales sólo 37 reunieron los criterios de inclusión. Los datos fueron consignados en una ficha confeccionada para este propósito, siguiendo los criterios de diagnóstico clínico de Blanco López et al. , los datos de antropometría fueron analizados con el programa EPI-INFO 2002. El análisis de los datos recogidos fue realizado con el programa estadístico Statistical Package for the Social Science v15.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago III).
Resultados: Se halló una mayor incidencia en el sexo femenino (78%) que en el sexo masculino (22%), con una relación de 3. 62/1. La edad promedio al momento del diagnóstico fue de 5.93 ± 5.28 meses para el total de la muestra. Las características clínicas al momento del diagnóstico fueron: facies abotagada (73%), piel seca (70.3%), fontanelas amplias (70.3%), estreñimiento (64.9%), hipotonía (64.9%) e ictericia (64.9%). Así mismo, se evidenció un marcado retardo del crecimiento. Posterior al diagnóstico y con la administración de L-tiroxina, el patrón de crecimiento muestra encarrilamiento del crecimiento en lo que debería ser su patrón de crecimiento y mejora del peso.
Conclusiones: La edad promedio de diagnóstico del hipotiroideo congénito fue de 5.93 ± 5.28 meses, que contrasta notablemente con la edad de diagnóstico encontrada en el reporte anterior (1992) y fue más frecuente en el sexo femenino. El entrenamiento de los residentes de Pediatría en la detección clínica precoz de esta entidad ha permitido disminuir la edad de diagnóstico de esta entidad, no siendo aún óptima, por lo que debe ampliarse el Programa de Tamizaje de Hipotiroidismo Congénito a nivel nacional.

Published: November 2023

ImportanceFluoride varnish reduces children’s tooth decay, yet few clinicians provide it. Most state Medicaid programs have covered this service during medical visits for children aged 1 to 5 years, but private insurers began covering it only in 2015 due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandate that they cover a set of recommended preventive services without cost-sharing. Evidence on clinicians’ behavior change postmandate is limited.ObjectiveTo examine monthly changes in fluoride varnish applications among pediatric clinicians following the ACA mandate.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsUsing all-payer claims data from Massachusetts, this cohort study applied an interrupted time-series approach with linear regression models comparing changes in monthly clinician-level outcomes before and after the mandate. Participants included clinicians who billed at least 5 well-child visits for patients aged 1 to 5 years and were observed at least once premandate. Adjusted for clinician fixed effects, models were assessed overall and separately for clinicians categorized by their monthly share of well-child visits paid by private insurers before the mandate: mostly private (&amp;gt;66% of visits paid by private insurers), mostly public (&amp;lt;33% of visits paid by private insurers), or mixed (33%-66% of visits paid by private insurers) insurance types. Analysis was performed from June 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023.ExposurePreenactment and postenactment of the ACA mandate for private insurers to cover fluoride varnish applications without cost-sharing.Main Outcomes and MeasuresClinician-month measures of whether fluoride varnish was provided during at least 1 well-child visit and the share of such visits, analyzed separately for clinicians who did and did not apply fluoride varnish premandate.ResultsThe sample included 2405 clinicians, with 107 841 clinician-months. Premandate, 10.48% of the visits included fluoride varnish applications. Two years postmandate, the likelihood of ever applying fluoride varnish was 13.64 (95% CI, 10.97-16.32) percentage points higher. For clinicians providing fluoride varnish premandate, the share of visits with fluoride varnish increased by 9.22 (95% CI, 5.41-13.02) percentage points. This increase was observed in clinicians who treated children with insurance that was mostly mixed and mostly private; no substantial change was observed among those treating children with mostly public insurance.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study of pediatric primary care clinicians, an association between the ACA mandate and an increase in fluoride varnish application was observed, especially among clinicians primarily treating privately insured patients and those applying it premandate. However, application remains infrequent, suggesting persistent barriers.
Technical note: Commissioning of a low‐cost system for directly 3D printed flexible bolus

Published: November 2023

AbstractPurposeTo present the commissioning process of a low‐cost solution for directly 3D printed flexible patient specific bolus.MethodsThe 3D printing solution used in this study consisted of a resin stereolithography 3D printer and a flexible curing resin. To test the dimensional accuracy of the 3D printer, rectangular cuboids with varying dimensions were 3D printed and their measured dimensions were compared to the designed dimensions. Percent Depth Dose (PDD) profiles were measured by irradiating film embedded in a 3D printed phantom made of the flexible material. A CT of the phantom was acquired and used to replicate the irradiation setup in the treatment planning system. PDDs were calculated for both the native HU of the phantom, and with the phantom HU overridden to 300 HU to match its physical density. Dosimetric agreement was characterized by comparing calculated to measured depths of R90, R80, and R50. Upon completion of the commissioning process, a bolus was 3D printed for a clinical case study for treatment of the nose.ResultsDimensional accuracy of the printer and material combination was found to be good, with all measured dimensions of test cuboids within 0.5 mm of designed. PDD measurements demonstrated the best dosimetric agreement when the material was overridden to 300 HU, corresponding to the measured physical density of the material of 1.18 g/cc. Calculated and measured depths of R90, R80, and R50 all agreed within 1 mm. The bolus printed for the clinical case was free from defects, highly conformal, and led to a clinically acceptable plan.ConclusionThe results of the commissioning measurements performed indicate that the 3D printer and material solution are suitable for clinical use. The 3D printer and material combination can provide a low‐cost solution a clinic can implement in‐house to directly 3D print flexible bolus.

AbstractAccumulating evidence indicates that cellular premature senescence of the glomerulus, including endothelial cells, mesangial cells, and podocytes leads to diabetic nephropathy (DN), and DN is regarded as a clinical model of premature senescence. However, the role of cellular senescence‐associated genes in the glomerulus in DN progression remains unclear. Therefore, this work aims to identify and validate potential cellular aging‐related genes in the glomerulus in DN to provide novel clues for DN treatment based on anti‐aging. The microarray GSE96804 dataset, including 41 diabetic glomeruli and 20 control glomeruli, is retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and cellular senescence‐related genes (CSRGs) are obtained from the GeneCards database and literature reports. Subsequently, PPI, GO, and KEGG enrichment are analyzed by screening the intersection between differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and CSRGs. scRNA‐seq dataset GSE127235 is used to verify core genes expression in glomerulocytes of mice. Finally, db/db mice are utilized to validate the hub gene expression in the glomeruli, and high glucose‐induced mesangial cells are used to confirm key gene expression. This study reveals that FOS and ZFP36 may play an anti‐aging role in DN to ameliorate cell intracellular premature aging in mesangial cells of glomeruli.
Being fractal: Embodying antiracism values in course‐based participatory action research
Authors: Dancis Julia 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIn the winter and spring of 2021, I—a White, female, graduate student—taught a six‐month course surrounding the theme: Disrupting Systemic Racism at our University Through Action Research. I was challenged to lead a meaningful course in a two‐dimensional virtual space, amidst rising death tolls of the COVID‐19 pandemic and the rhythmic beat of calls for racial justice pulsing through our Zoom class periods. This experience opened my eyes as an educator, budding community psychologist, and an antiracist White accomplice. In this critical autoethnographic case study, I recount my experience adapting the community organizing principle of fractals into a pedagogical framework that guided my instructional practices in a community psychology course. In doing so, I echo the call for community psychologists to connect our work more tightly to Black, Indigenous, and people of Color social justice organizers and movements to fortify the field's relevance in the struggle for racial justice.

AbstractBiallelic SPINT2 pathogenic variants cause a syndromic form of congenital diarrhea and enteropathy (OMIM 270420). To date, 35 patients have been reported and all presented with additional extra‐intestinal features, apart from one case. We report on a 5‐year‐old girl who presented early in life with diarrhea and was found to have a novel homozygous variant in SPINT2. Pathological studies confirmed tufting enteropathy, and during her 5 years of life, she has not developed any extra‐intestinal features. Molecular analysis detected a homozygous variant (NM_021102.4: c.203A>G (p. [Tyr68Cys]) in SPINT2. This is the first missense variant reported in the first Kunitz domain (KD1) of SPINT2 in humans. In vitro functional studies of this variant confirmed the deleterious effect leading to the loss of inhibitory activity of the intestinal serine proteases. This is the first description of SPINT2‐related diarrhea in a patient who lived without long‐term total parenteral nutrition. This study expands the clinical and molecular characteristics of SPINT2‐related conditions.

AbstractExamples of realized scientific careers can provide ideas and inspiration for others aiming to pursue such careers. Here I recount in brief the story of my long career in primatology (1973 to the present), focusing on one enduring theme in my research: the nature and genesis of goal‐directed action (evident in movement). The story begins in graduate school, passes through developing my own laboratory, on to pursuing a spectrum of studies with mentees and collaborators, developing a theoretical explanatory framework for goal‐directed action that I think holds promise for the field as a whole, and ends with an exciting field project that seems a suitable finale to my career. I mention the value to me, the field, and society of participation in scientific societies, including the American Society of Primatologists, throughout my career.

AbstractSelective conversion of syngas to value‐added olefins has attracted considerable research interest. Regulating product distribution remains challenging, such as achieving higher olefin selectivity, propylene/ethylene (P/E) and olefin/paraffin (O/P) ratios. A new pentasil zeolite Al‐IDM‐1 with recently approved −ION structure, composed of 17‐membered‐ring (MR) extra‐large lobed pores and intersected 10‐MR medium pores, shows a C2–6= selectivity up to 85 % and a high O/P value of 14 in the conversion of syngas when being combined with ZnaAlbOx oxide. Moreover, for the high‐silica Al‐IDM‐1 with Si/Al ratio of 400, the selectivity of propylene and butene accounts for 88 % in C2–4=, resulting in high P/E (>4) and butene/ethylene (B/E >3) ratios. The high C3–4= selectivity is contributed by two main reasons, that is, the relatively weak acidity of Al‐IDM‐1 zeolite enhances the olefin‐based cycle revealed by the probe reactions of methanol‐to‐propylene (MTP) and 1‐hexene cracking, and the rich isolated internal SiOH groups in Al‐IDM‐1 promote the desorption of C3–4=, once they are formed inside zeolite pores.
