Prescribing Syringes to People Who Inject Drugs: Advancing Harm Reduction in Primary Care
Authors: Chatterjee Avik , Bannister Maxwell , Hill Lucas G. , Davis Corey S. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAccess to new syringes can reduce the risk of HIV and hepatitis C transmission, skin and soft tissue infections, and infectious endocarditis for people who inject drugs (PWID). Syringe service programs (SSPs) and other harm reduction programs are a good source of syringes. However, they are sometimes not accessible due to limited hours, geographic barriers, and other factors. In this perspective, we argue that when PWID faces barriers to syringes physicians and other providers should prescribe, and pharmacists should dispense, syringes to decrease health risks associated with syringe re-use. This strategy is endorsed by professional organizations and is legally permissible in most states. Such prescribing has numerous benefits, including insurance coverage of the cost of syringes and the sense of legitimacy conveyed by a prescription. We discuss these benefits as well as the legality of prescribing and dispensing syringes and address practical considerations such as type of syringe, quantity, and relevant diagnostic codes, if required. In the face of an unprecedented overdose crisis with many associated health harms, we also make the case for advocacy to change state and federal laws to make access to prescribed syringes uniform, smooth, and universal as part of a suite of harm reduction efforts.
A General Integrative Neurocognitive Modeling Framework to Jointly Describe EEG and Decision-making on Single Trials
Authors: Ghaderi-Kangavari Amin , Rad Jamal Amani , Nunez Michael D. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractDespite advances in techniques for exploring reciprocity in brain-behavior relations, few studies focus on building neurocognitive models that describe both human EEG and behavioral modalities at the single-trial level. Here, we introduce a new integrative joint modeling framework for the simultaneous description of single-trial EEG measures and cognitive modeling parameters of decision-making. As specific examples, we formalized how single-trial N200 latencies and centro-parietal positivities (CPPs) are predicted by changing single-trial parameters of various drift-diffusion models (DDMs). We trained deep neural networks to learn Bayesian posterior distributions of unobserved neurocognitive parameters based on model simulations. These models do not have closed-form likelihoods and are not easy to fit using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods because nuisance parameters on single trials are shared in both behavior and neural activity. We then used parameter recovery assessment and model misspecification to ascertain how robustly the models’ parameters can be estimated. Moreover, we fit the models to three different real datasets to test their applicability. Finally, we provide some evidence that single-trial integrative joint models are superior to traditional integrative models. The current single-trial paradigm and the simulation-based (likelihood-free) approach for parameter recovery can inspire scientists and modelers to conveniently develop new neurocognitive models for other neural measures and to evaluate them appropriately.

Abstract

Objective:
In a large-scale disaster, medical professionals need to access medication records and provide medicines to people who cannot return home to take their daily medicines. We investigated the proportion of carrying the paper notebook or availability of the smartphone application of the medication record among people who are assumed to have difficulty in taking their medicines during large-scale disasters.

Methods:
In Japan, a web-based survey was conducted in 2018 by randomly selecting adults ≥ 20 years of age.

Results:
There were 2286 medication record owners in 3082 participants. Of the medication record owners, 784 (34.3%) took medicines that could not be missed for even a day. Among them, 724 used paper notebooks alone, 26 used smartphone applications alone, and 34 used both. Among the 724, 208 (28.8%) always carried a paper notebook. Among the 26, 16 (61.5%) could use their applications anytime. Therefore, among the 784, at least 560 (71.4%) could not always access their medication information.

Conclusions:
An awareness campaign to carry paper notebooks and install applications for medication records should be held, since only a limited number of people carry their medication records and always have access to their medication information.
“Who's there?”: Depicting identity in interaction

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Social robots have limited social competences. This leads us to view them as depictions of social agents rather than actual social agents. However, people also have limited social competences. We argue that all social interaction involves the depiction of social roles and that they originate in, and are defined by, their function in accounting for failures of social competence.
Trait attribution explains human–robot interactions
Authors: Bigman Yochanan E. , Surdel Nicholas , Ferguson Melissa J. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Clark and Fischer (C&F) claim that trait attribution has major limitations in explaining human–robot interactions. We argue that the trait attribution approach can explain the three issues posited by C&F. We also argue that the trait attribution approach is parsimonious, as it assumes that the same mechanisms of social cognition apply to human–robot interaction.
The now and future of social robots as depictions
Authors: Malle Bertram F. , Zhao Xuan 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The authors at times propose that robots are mere depictions of social agents (a philosophical claim) and at other times that people conceive of social robots as depictions (an empirical psychological claim). We evaluate each claim's accuracy both now and in the future and, in doing so, we introduce two dangerous misperceptions people have, or will have, about social robots.
Dancing robots: Social interactions are performed, not depicted
Authors: Orgs Guido , Cross Emily S. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Clark and Fischer's depiction hypothesis is based on examples of western mimetic art. Yet social robots do not depict social interactions, but instead perform them. Similarly, dance and performance art do not rely on depiction. Kinematics and expressivity are better predictors of dance aesthetics and of effective social interactions. In this way, social robots are more like dancers than actors.
Ionospheric correction of S-band tracking radar data using NavIC S-band signals in missile test range applications

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn missile test ranges, complex missions demand precise trajectory generated by radar. Both the radar and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are affected by atmospheric effects, degrading their accuracy and performance. The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System/Navigation with Indian Constellation (IRNSS/NavIC) transmits signals in the S-band together with the L-band. This paper presents a novel experimental technique to improve the tracking accuracy of S-band radars using the concurrent NavIC S-band signal. The ionospheric delay using the NavIC S-band signal is calculated first, and the results are used to improve the trajectory data of simultaneously operating S-band radars. This is a unique application of the NavIC S-band signals apart from its conventional usage. During a launch mission, for low elevation angles, the ionospheric error is found to be ~130 m while at higher elevation angles the error values are found to be ~1–3 m. The concept is validated using data from a missile test mission. This report on the use of S-band GNSS signals for the correction of S-band radar range data offers a clear advantage of simplicity and accuracy.
The Picture Theory of Disability
Authors: Firth Steven J. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe leading models of disability struggle to fully encompass all aspects of “disability.” This difficulty arises, the author argues, because the models fundamentally misunderstand the nature of disability. Current theoretical approaches to disability can be understood as “nounal,” in that they understand disability as a thing that is caused or embodied. In contrast, this paper presents an adverbial perspective on disability, which shows that disability is experienced as a personally irremediable impediment to daily-living tasks or goals-like-ours. The picture theory of disability technically constitutes a species of relational approach because its analysis references the interplay between an individual and their environment; it differs from other relational accounts, however, by interpreting disability as a certain kind of negative experience—rather than a function of that relationship. This purely descriptive theory makes no normative claims about disability and operates as both a mechanism for the evaluation of the experience of disability and a heuristic device for the proper interpretation of disability. When disability is reframed in this way, the theory offers a particularist perspective which shows if, when, where, and how disability is experienced.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe development of glufosinate-resistant soybean cultivars has created opportunities for use of glufosinate applied postemergence for weed control. Four field experiments were conducted in 2021 and 2022 to ascertain the effect of glufosinate rate and the addition of ammonium sulfate on annual weed control in glyphosate/glufosinate/2,4-D–resistant soybean. An increased glufosinate rate of 500 from 300 g ai ha−1 improved control of common ragweed, common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, and foxtail species and resulted in decreased density and dry biomass of common lambsquarters and foxtail species. The addition of ammonium sulfate to glufosinate increased control of common lambsquarters, 2 and 8 wk after application (WAA), and of foxtail species, 2, 4, and 8 WAA, but did not improve control of common ragweed and redroot pigweed. Increasing the dose of glufosinate from 300 to 500 g ai ha−1 improves control of common ragweed, redroot pigweed, common lambsquarters, and foxtail species; however, the benefit of the addition of ammonium sulfate to glufosinate is weed species-specific.
Sensitivity Analysis of Assimilating Doppler Radar Radial Winds Within the Inner‐ and Outer‐Core Regions of Tropical Cyclones
Authors: Feng Jianing , Duan Yihong , Sun Wei , Zhou Yike 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe assimilation of Doppler radar radial wind observations is important for improving tropical cyclone (TC) prediction. However, the specific impacts and contributions of these observations over different areas are still unclear. In this study, the impact of assimilating radar radial winds within the inner‐ and outer‐cores of TCs is evaluated. For TC Mujigae (2015), analyses suggest that although the outer‐core observations better improve the upper‐level outflow of the TC, the inner‐core observations contribute more to enhancing tangential wind and updraft near the eyewall as well as correcting the TC size, warm core structure, and asymmetrical eyewall convection. The improvements conferred by the assimilating the total observations in the analysis and forecasting of TC tracks and intensities are mainly contributed by the inner‐core observations. This is probably because: (a) the model has a higher deficiency in simulating the TC inner‐core structure, which leads to a larger background deviation relative to the observations and the assimilation increment contributed by the inner‐core observations; (b) as determined by the stronger nonlinearity of the physical processes, the ensemble spread (i.e., model uncertainty) around the inner core is larger, resulting in a more distinct impact of data assimilation. The significant improvements in the inner‐core observations are further consolidated by analyses of two other TCs of different sizes and intensities, in which the number of inner‐core observations accounts for only 1/3 of the total on average. The TC inner‐core area should be a major consideration of future TC observation projects.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe detection of pulmonary nodules has a low accuracy due to the various shapes and sizes of pulmonary nodules. In this paper, a multi-scale detection network for pulmonary nodules based on the attention mechanism is proposed to accurately predict pulmonary nodules. During data processing, the pseudo-color processing strategy is designed to enhance the gray image and introduce more contextual semantic information. In the feature extraction network section, this paper designs a basic module of ResSCBlock integrating attention mechanism for feature extraction. At the same time, the feature pyramid structure is used for feature fusion in the network, and the problem of the detection of small-size nodules which are easily lost is solved by multi-scale prediction method. The proposed method is tested on the LUNA16 data set, with an 83% mAP value. Compared with other detection networks, the proposed method achieves an improvement in detecting pulmonary nodules.
Dynamical system of a time-delayed of rigid rocking rod: analytical approximate solution
Authors: Moatimid Galal M. , Amer T. S. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe stability analysis of a rocking rigid rod is investigated in this paper using a time-delayed square position and velocity. The time delay is an additional safety against the nonlinearly vibrating system under consideration. Because time-delayed technologies have lately been the core of several investigations, the subject of this inquiry is extremely relevant. The Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is modified to produce a more precise approximate outcome. Therefore, the novelty of the exciting paper arises from the coupling of the time delay and its correlation with the modified HPM. A comparison with the fourth-order Runge–Kutta (RK4) technique is employed to evaluate the precision between the analytical as well as the numerical solutions. The study allows for a comprehensive examination of the recognition of the outcome of the realistic approximation analytical methodology. For different amounts of the physical frequency and time delay factors, the time histories of the found solutions are depicted in various plots. These graphs are discussed in the context of the shown curves according to the relevant parameter values. The organized nonlinear prototype approach is examined by the multiple-time scale method up to the first approximation. The obtained results have periodic behavior and a stable manner. The current study makes it possible to carefully examine the findings arrived at by employing the analytical technique of practicable estimation. Additionally, the time delay performs as extra protection as opposed to the system potential for nonlinear oscillation.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThis study aimed to compare the effects of 8 weeks 11 + warm-up injury prevention program on kinematics and proprioception in adolescent male and female soccer players. Forty adolescent soccer players (20 males, 20 females) aged between 14–16 years old were randomly assigned into four groups. The experimental group performed the 11 + program for 8 weeks and the control group did their warm-up program. The kinematic variable in a cutting maneuver was measured using VICON motion analysis and ankle and knees’ proprioception by joint position sense (JPS) was measured using a digital inclinometer. For kinematic variables only significant differences in knee valgus among females 11 + compared with female and male control groups were found (P < 0.05). Moreover, there were significant improvements in joint position sense variables in 11 + groups compared to control groups (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the 11 + program was proven to be a useful warm-up protocol in improving knee valgus and JPS among female and male adolescent soccer players. We suggest adding more training elements to the 11 + program that aimed to enhance the proper alignment of lower extremities which may consequently improve joint kinematics.
Orbital angular momentum detection device for vortex microwave photons

Published: April 2023

AbstractOrbital angular momentum (OAM), which was first discovered in the optical field, represents a new dimension of electromagnetic waves. However, the detection of OAM microwave photons, i.e., vortex microwave photons, at room temperature is difficult due to their low energy. Here we report a prototype of a vortex microwave photon detection device based on vortex electrons. Our OAM detection device efficiently distinguishes the intrinsic OAM in the microwave band, which is helpful for exploring new physical dimensions. In addition, the detection device can be enhanced with a vortex electron sorting device designed with electron holograms so that OAM microwave photon demultiplexing can be achieved. Finally, the OAM detection device has high practicability; i.e., not only it can be used at room temperature, but also it is much smaller than a particle accelerator system. To illustrate the significance of this method, we demonstrate an on-off keying transmission system based on our OAM detection device.

Published: April 2023

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Nosokomiale Infektionen und postoperative Wundinfektionen sind in Deutschland eine für das Gesundheitssystem und die betroffenen Patientinnen und Patienten erhebliche
Belastung. Eine postoperative Wundinfektion geht oft mit einer massiven Verschlechterung der Qualität des Behandlungserfolges chirurgischer Maßnahmen bez. der Patientenbelastung, der
funktionellen Ergebnisse und der Wirtschaftlichkeit einer Behandlung für den Leistungserbringer einher. Ziel dieses Beitrages ist es, die aktuellen Hygienevorgaben für das perioperative
Setting verständlich darzustellen und für alle am Operationsablauf Beteiligten zu erläutern.
Methode Erläutert wird zunächst die Bedeutung hygienischer Maßnahmen sowie in einer kurzen Übersicht die Entwicklung bis hin zu modernen Hygienekonzepten der heutigen Zeit.
Anschließend werden die aktuellen Empfehlungen der KRINKO (Kommission für Krankenhaushygiene und Infektionsprävention beim Robert Koch-Institut): „Prävention postoperativer Wundinfektionen,
Empfehlung der Kommission für Krankenhaushygiene und Infektionsprävention (KRINKO) beim Robert Koch-Institut“ dargestellt.
Schlussfolgerung Hygienisches Arbeiten ist eine Grundvoraussetzung der Arbeit im operativen Bereich, denn überzeugende Behandlungsergebnisse mit guten funktionellen Ergebnissen
können in vielen Bereichen (z. B. moderne Endoprothetik) ohne eine suffiziente Hygiene überhaupt nicht erzielt werden. Die modernen Vorgaben zum hygienischen Arbeiten sind komplex und
betreffen alle Bereiche des Krankenhauses. Nur unter Beachtung aller Säulen der modernen Hygienekonzepte kann das bestmögliche Maß an Prozessqualität gewährleistet werden.

Published: April 2023

Purpose Structured reporting (SR) is increasingly used. So far, there is minimal experience with SR in whole-body computed tomography (WBCT). The aim of this study was to investigate the value of routine use of SR in WBCT in trauma with a focus on reporting time, reporting errors, and referrer satisfaction.
Materials and Methods Reporting time and reporting errors of CT reports were prospectively quantified for residents and board-certified radiologists 3 months before and for 6 months after implementation of a structured report in the clinical routine. Referrer satisfaction was prospectively quantified by means of a survey before and after the implementation period of SR using a 5-point Likert scale. Before and after results were compared to determine the effect of structured reporting on WBCT in trauma at our institution.
Results The mean reporting time was lower when using SR (65 ± 52 min. vs. 87 ± 124 min., p = .25). After 4 months, the median reporting time was significantly lower with SR (p = .02). Consequently, the rate of reports that were finished within one hour rose from 55.1 % to 68.3 %. Likewise, reporting errors decreased (12.6 % vs. 8.4 %, p = .48). Residents and board-certified radiologists reported fewer errors when using SR with 16.4 % vs. 12.6 % and 8.8 % vs. 2.7 %, respectively. General referrer satisfaction improved (1.7 ± 0.8 vs. 1.5 ± 1.1, p = .58). Referrers graded improvements for standardization of reports (2.2 ± 1.1 vs. 1.3 ± 1.1, p = .03), consistency of report structure (2.1 ± 1.1 vs. 1.4 ± 1.1, p = .09), and retrievability of relevant pathologies (2.1 ± 1.2 vs. 1.6 ± 1.1, p = .32).
Conclusion SR has the potential to facilitate process improvement for WBCT in trauma in the daily routine with a reduction of reporting time and reporting mistakes while increasing referrer satisfaction.
