Abstract
Introduction
Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) have been introduced with the stated objective of assessing the clinical skills acquired by students during internships. Our objective was to assess whether the scores obtained during the summative OSCEs of medical students are associated with having completed an internship in the corresponding disciplines.
Methods
Cross-sectional study assessing the results of the summative OSCEs during the 2021–2022 academic year in Poitiers university (France). Ten stations (5 for each student) were performed. A survey was carried out at the end of the OSCEs and collected: internships carried out, stress level, difficulty level experienced at each station, previous participation to formative and summative OSCEs, supervised clinical examinations during internships and participation in consultations.
Results
Out of the 220 students participating to the summative OSCEs, 182 (83%) answered the survey. The scores obtained in interrogation, communication, therapeutic education and procedure stations were higher when the student had completed an internship in the corresponding disciplines than if he had not (p < 0.01 for each). Eighty-seven (47.8%) had participated before to at least one formative OSCE and 145 (79.7%) to at least one summative OSCE. There was no significant difference in the overall OSCE score according to earlier participation to formative OSCEs (11.1 ± 1.9 vs. 11.5 ± 2.1, p = 0.16) or summative OSCEs (11.4 ± 2.1 vs. 11.1 ± 1.67, p = 0.47).
Conclusion
Success in OSCEs was associated with previous internships in the corresponding disciplines, suggesting the ability of OSCEs to assess the student’s clinical skills acquired during internships.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The utilization of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has significantly enhanced the speed and efficiency of machine learning and deep learning applications. Docker containers, developed in a programming language called Go, are becoming more and more favored for guaranteeing the reproducibility and scalability of these applications. Nevertheless, Docker's built-in GPU compatibility is restricted to Nvidia GPUs, creating an obstacle to leveraging AMD and Intel GPUs. In this document, we introduce an innovative method, employing Go, to expand Docker's GPU compatibility to include AMD and Intel GPUs. This approach offers a vendor-neutral solution at the development level.
Trade Openness and Structural Change Dynamics in West African Countries
Authors: Chabi Patrick , Saygılı Refik Fatih 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the contribution of trade openness to the structural change process in ECOWAS countries. Our findings suggest that the production structural change process is significantly and positively affected by the extent of trade openness. Higher openness levels are associated with more production reshuffling between sectors. However, this impact is found to be nonlinear. After a threshold of 147.64% of trade openness, the effect reverses. Considering the labor structural change, results suggest that more openness tends to trigger the reshuffle of labor toward less productive sectors. This effect reverses after the openness reached a level of 152.42%. Moreover, exports contract whereas imports trigger the reshuffling of domestic production factors. So, focusing on industrial-friendly import policies should be a priority for ECOWAS Countries. For labor, exports as well as imports trigger the reshuffling of labor towards less productive sectors. These findings emphasize the importance of external effects in the structural change process in ECOWAS countries. Our analysis suggests that given the basic structure of export products, as long as their increases would fail to develop manufacturing sectors, their ability to shift labor towards more productive sectors would be limited. Also, as imports promote the retail sector, which is less productive, this limits their effect to trigger a desirable labor structural change.
Suç Cetvelleri Verilerine Göre Osmanlı Devleti’nde Suç ve Suçlular: Sivas Vilayeti Örneği (R.1329 / M. 1913-1914)
Authors: YANCI Ülkü 
Published: July 2023

Osmanlı Devleti’nin son dönemlerinde suç ve suçluların tespiti ve takibi hususunda düzenli bilgi alabilmek için vilayetlerden her ay rapor istenmiştir. Her ay kazalardan sancak merkezine giden raporlar buradan Dâhiliye Nezareti’ne gönderilmiştir. Bunun için bir şablon oluşturulmuş ve her kaza merkezinden bu şablona uygun şekilde bilgiler istenmiştir. Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşiv vesikaları arasında suç ve suçluları gösteren iki tür cetvel bulunmaktadır. Bu cetveller “vukuât-ı cinaiyye” ve “ceraim-i umumiyye” cetvelleridir. Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi’nde bulunan ilk vukuât-ı cinaiyye cetveli, 1878 yılında tutulmuştur. Ancak Osmanlı Devleti’nin son derece zor yıllar yaşadığı bu dönemde istatistik cetvelleri muntazaman tutulamamış, bazı aylar eksik kalmıştır. Vukuat-ı cinaiyye defterlerinde suçun işlendiği yer, faillerin isimleri, yakalanıp yakalanmadıkları, yakalanmadı ise ne sebeple yakalanmadığı ve suçun nasıl işlendiğine dair bilgiler vardır. Ceraim-i umumiyye defterlerinde ise bölgede gerçekleşen suçlar toplu halde rakamsal olarak verilmiştir. İki cetvel türünden vukuât-ı cinaiyye cetvellerinde yalnızca cinayet vakaları ele alınmışken ceraim-i umumiye cetvellerinde tüm suçlar belirtilmiştir. Fakat vukuât-ı cinaiyye defterlerine nadir de olsa diğer suçların işlendiği de anlaşılmaktadır
Bu çalışmada Sivas Vilayeti’nde R. 1329/M. 1913-1914 yıllarına ait vukuat-ı cinaiyye defterlerinin tümü incelenmiş, aynı dönemde Sivas Vilayeti’ne ait ceraim-i cinaiyye defterleri ile de bilgiler karşılaştırılmıştır. Sivas Vilayetine ait suç cetvellerinden Rumi 1 Mart 1329- 28 Şubat 1329/ Miladi 14 Mart 1913- 13 Mart 1914 tarihine ait 12 aylık cetvel incelenmiştir. Sivas Vilayeti bu dönemde, Sivas, Tokat, Amasya ve Karahisar-ı Şarkî olmak üzere dört sancaktan oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın hacminin büyük olması nedeniyle kazalara ait cetveller sancaklar çerçevesinde birleştirilerek aktarılmıştır. Çalışmada Sivas Vilayeti’nde bu dönemde işlenen suçlara dair bilgiler tablolaştırılarak bilginin daha erişilebilir olması sağlanmış; istatistiksel veriler aktarılmıştır. Bu istatistik sonuçları ile Sivas özelinde ve Osmanlı genelinde toplumun yapısı ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Defterlerde yer alan kayıtlara göre Sivas Vilayet genelinde R. 1329/M. 1913-1914 yılında genelinde 551 suç işlenmiştir. Bu suçlar 15 farklı kategoriye ayrılmaktadır. Bu suçların 240’ı yani % 43’ü Sivas Sancağı’nda, 148’i yani %27’si Tokat Sancağı’nda; 84’ü yani %15’i Amasya Sancağı’nda ve 82’si yani %15’i de Karahisar-ı Şarkî Sancağı’nda işlenmiştir

Abstract

This study investigates the future changes in precipitation extreme indices in the Lake Urmia Basin during the period 2021–2100 compared to the base period (1987–2016), using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 models. Trend analysis was performed using Mann–Kendall test and Sen's estimator. The output of these models was downscaled by the Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator method for the representative concentration pathway (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5. A model averaging technique was employed to create an ensemble model. The results showed that the average precipitation of the basin will decrease by the end of the 21st century. The projection also showed that the consecutive dry day's index increases based on both scenarios. However, other indices (maximum 1-day precipitation, maximum 5-day precipitation, very wet days, consecutive wet days, simple daily intensity index, and wet-day precipitation) are reduced compared to the base period. Moreover, the slope of significant trends in the RCP8.5 is greater and more severe than that in RCP4.5.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Urban floods have been highly prominent natural disasters occurring in catchments across the globe, causing financial loss and damage to buildings. This necessitates effective and sustainable mitigation mechanisms. In this context, flood-susceptibility-based building risk (FSBR), a combined index for evaluating flood susceptibility and building risk simultaneously to understand the impact of the flood, is proposed by fusing XGBoost (facilitates flood susceptibility) and Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System 2D (enables building risk) in climate change situations. The methodology is applied to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, India. Six combinations of FSBR, namely, high building risk and high flood susceptibility (HH), high and medium (HM), medium and medium (MM), medium and high (MH), low and medium (LM), and low and high (LH) are employed to study the urban floods. The total affected areas for HH, HM, MH, MM, LH, and LM are 63.40 km2 (52.627%), 28.92 km2 (24%), 9.52 km2 (7.9%), 4.81 km2 (3.99%), 9.26 km2 (7.686%), and 4.56 km2 (3.79%) (totalling 120.47 km2). The number of corresponding buildings is 182,178, 84,136, 46,238, 22,691, 48,092, and 23,781. Waterproofing as a mitigation measure is considered. The total cost of waterproofing is Rs 4,964.60 cr.

Abstract

This study reviews the concept, classifications, and techniques involved in the synthesis of nanocomposites. The environmental and health implications of nanoparticles and composite materials were detailed, as well as the applications of nanocomposites in water remediation, antibacterial application, and printed circuit boards. The study gave insights into the challenges of water pollution treatment and provided a broad list of nanocomposites that have been explored for water remediation. Moreover, the emergence of multi-drug resistance to many antibiotics has made current antibiotics inadequate in the treatment of disease. This has engineered the development of alternative strategies in the drug industries for the production of effective therapeutic agents, comprising nanocomposites with antibacterial agents. The new therapeutic agents known as nanoantibiotics are more efficient and have paved the way to handle the challenges of antibiotic resistance. In printed circuit boards, nanocomposites have shown promising applications because of their distinct mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics. The uniqueness of the write-up is that it provides a broad explanation of the concept, synthesis, application, toxicity, and harmful effects of nanocomposites. Thus, it will provide all-inclusive awareness to readers to identify research gaps and motivate researchers to synthesize novel nanocomposites for use in various fields.
Scouring around different shapes of bridge pier
Authors: Huda Mir Bintul , Lone Mohd Akbar , Rather Nasir Ahmad , Chadee Aaron Anil 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Scouring is a complex process dependent on several factors, and local scour is more complex than general scour. This study was an attempt to predict local scour round bridge piers based on general scour in the water stream. Three obstacle shapes were used – circular, round-nosed, and elliptical – as they are predominant in hydraulic structures like bridge piers. For each obstacle shape, scour depth was measured around the periphery for five gradually increasing discharges and in two types of bed material. The local scour results were analyzed to relate them to general scour. Lacey's equation was used to estimate general scour. Models were developed for the three common shapes, by which local scour for any particular shape can be predicted based on general scour in the stream.
Using a Geosocial Networking App to Investigate New HIV Infections and Related Risk Factors Among Student and Nonstudent Men Who Have Sex With Men in Chengdu, China: Open Cohort Study
Authors: Dai Zhen , Mi Guodong , Yu Fei , Chen Guodong , Wang Xiaodong , He Qinying 
Published: July 2023

Background
In China, condomless sex among men who have sex with men (MSM) is the primary route of HIV infection in young people. Chengdu is a hotspot for reported HIV cases among young people nationwide. Extensive use of geosocial networking (GSN) smartphone apps has dramatically changed the pattern of sexual behavior among young MSM (YMSM). However, data on HIV incidence and the risk behavior of YMSM using the GSN app are still obscure.

Objective
This study aims to analyze and understand the HIV incidence and its risk factors among YMSM using GSN apps in Chengdu, China.

Methods
An open cohort study was conducted among YMSM aged 18-24 years through a gay GSN smartphone app in Chengdu, China, from July 2018 to December 2020. Every participant completed a web-based questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics, sexual behaviors, and other related statuses; made a reservation for a web-based HIV testing; and then voluntarily got tested at the designated testing site. At least one additional HIV test was taken via the app during the study period, and participants were evaluated at the end of the study or at the time of HIV seroconversion. By dividing the sum of the observed HIV seroconversions by the observed person-years, HIV incidence was calculated and compared between the student and nonstudent MSM. Univariate and multivariate (Cox proportional hazards regression) analyses were used to discuss the risk factors for new HIV infections.

Results
In the study cohort, 24 seroconversions occurred among 625 YMSM who took at least two HIV tests through the app during the study period, contributing to 505 observed person-years. The HIV incidence rate per 100 person-years was 4.75 (95% CI 2.89-6.61) among all MSM, 3.60 (95% CI 1.27-5.93) among student MSM, and 5.88 (95% CI 2.97-8.79) among nonstudent MSM. In addition, the HIV incidence per 100 person-years was 11.11 (95% CI 4.49-17.73) among those who had resided in the area for 6 months or less and 7.14 (95% CI 1.52-12.77) among those with senior high school or less education. Two or more sexual partners (adjusted hazards ratio [HR] 3.63, 95% CI 1.08-12.23) in the preceding 6 months was a risk factor for new HIV infections. Consistent condom use for anal sex (adjusted HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.16-0.88) and insertive anal sex only (adjusted HR 0.10, 95% CI 0.01-0.75) in the preceding 6 months were protective factors for new HIV infections.

Conclusions
The rate of new HIV infections among YMSM who actively used GSN smartphone apps was high, especially among migrant nonstudent MSM. Targeted interventions on GSN smartphone apps should be implemented to provide demand-adapted prevention and services to reduce the threat of HIV.

Published: July 2023

Background
Depression and anxiety are common and debilitating mental disorders with severe negative repercussions at both individual and societal levels. Although virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a safe and effective tool for the treatment of anxiety disorders, studies of the therapeutic application of VR to treat depression are more limited.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to test whether a novel type of individualized VR (iVR) can be used to improve self-compassion and decrease depressive symptoms and to evaluate the usability and acceptability of this approach, as rated by participants. The iVR system was designed and developed based on the feedback obtained from a previous study, with improved appearance and feel of the avatar and enhanced graphical quality.

Methods
A total of 36 young adult participants were recruited from a university community social media site. Participants were aware that the study was investigating a treatment for depression but were not recruited based on depression diagnosis. Participants were asked to complete 2 iVR sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart. At baseline and upon completion of each iVR session, participants were asked to complete validated measures of self-compassion and depression. Upon completion of both iVR sessions, additional measures were administered to assess participants’ perceptions about the perceived usability and system acceptability of the iVR approach.

Results
Self-compassion was assessed at the beginning of session 1 (preintervention baseline) and at the end of session 1 (postintervention assessment). Owing to COVID-19 constraints, 36% (13/36) of the participants were unable to complete the follow-up iVR session. Self-compassion was assessed again for the remaining 64% (23/36) of the participants at the end of session 2 (postintervention assessment). Within-group analyses revealed that self-compassion was significantly increased at the end of both session 1 (P=.01) and session 2 (P=.03) relative to baseline. There was also a nonsignificant trend for depressive symptoms to be low at the end of session 2 relative to baseline. Both quantitative and qualitative participant data supported the iVR approach as being acceptable and usable.

Conclusions
Although these data must be treated as preliminary owing to the small sample size and potential selection bias, the data provide encouraging initial evidence that iVR might be a useful tool to enhance self-compassion and reduce depressive symptoms, highlighting the need for randomized controlled trials in the future.

Authors: Herusiswoyo Moh Arief , Ma'ruf Bilal 
Published: July 2023

Uji beban jembatan dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui jembatan berfungsi dengan baik dalam menahan beban baik beba di atas jembatan maupun beban jembatan itu sendiri. Uji beban dapat memberikan informasi mengenai respon jembatan terhadap beban yang diberikan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mendapatkan besar, arah, dan pola lendutan akibat uji beban jembatan. Besar, arah, dan pola lendutan diamati menggunakan total station Sokkia series iM-50. Lendutan diamati pada tiga kombinasi pembebanan, yaitu kondisi sebelum terbebani, saat terbebani, dan setelah terbebani. Truk bermuatan 11 ton dijadikan sebagai beban pada uji beban tersebut. Studi kasus penelitian ini dilakukan pada jembatan tipe pelengkung baja jembatan Situ Gintung yang terletak di Kabupaten Purbalingga, Jawa Tengah. Tahapan penelitian dimulai dari perencanaan dan pengukuran titik kontrol, perencanaan dan pemasangan titik-titik objek pengamatan pada jembatan, pembebanan jembatan dan pengukuran, serta perhitungan dan analisis lendutan. Terdapat empat titik kontrol yang dipasang, satu titik di sisi utara jembatan, satu titik di sisi selatan jembatan, dan dua titik masing-masing dipasang di timur dan barat bawah jembatan. Sebanyak 32 titik pengamatan dipasang di jembatan yang terbagi menjadi tiga bagian pada sisi barat dan timur yaitu, lima titik di bagian hanger, tujuh titik di bagian slab lantai dan empat titik di pilar jembatan. Perhitungan lendutan dihitung dari permukaan awal ke posisi setelah terjadinya lendutan. Pengamatan lendutan menggunakan total station mampu mendeteksi lendutan jembatan. Namun besarnya lendutan yang terjadi masih memenuhi batas ijin lendutan yang ditetapkan oleh yang RSNI T-03-2005 tentang Perencanaan Struktur Baja untuk Jembatan. Dengan kata lain, jembatan ini sudah lolos uji beban.

Subordinación de la mujer en los libros educativos de Cartagena
Authors: Álvarez Merlano Nicolás , Vázquez Miraz Pedro 
Published: July 2023

Introducción. El sexismo es un patrón cognitivo y comportamental en el cual la figura masculina atribuye a la femenina caracteres que reflejan vulnerabilidad e indefensión alrededor de todas las dimensiones del desarrollo. Si bien este es un tema de las agendas internacionales, pocos son los estudios académicos destinados a indagar su presencia en el material pedagógico escolar. Objetivo. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los libros académicos de lenguaje y ciencias sociales vinculados a la propuesta académica que ofertan una muestra de instituciones educativas de carácter público y privado pertenecientes al sector Caribe colombiano (Cartagena de Indias) bajo el propósito de identificar posibles elementos sexistas, por ejemplo, la predominancia de los roles masculinos sobre los femeninos. Materialesy método. Se seleccionaron ocho libros de texto escolares de básica primaria y secundaria elemental del período 2020-2021, provenientes de instituciones educativas oficiales y privadas. Se realizó un análisis de ilustraciones mediante una matriz de recepción de imágenes y un análisis cuantitativo mediante indicadores de género. Resultados. Los resultados indican una pervivencia de los estándares sexistas en siete de los ocho libros analizados, destacando el desbalance en el número de ilustraciones femeninas, e indicadores de presencia y relevancia con relación al género masculino. Conclusiones. Los hallazgos obtenidos invitan a la comunidad educativa a revisar con mayor detenimiento las ilustraciones que anexan en el contenido curricular ofertado en sus libros escolares, dado que la desproporción observada promueve el imaginario sexistay la noción de desamparo en la comunidad estudiantil femenina.
