Potential Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Public Perception of Water Pipes on Reddit: Observational Study
Authors: Zheng Zihe , Xie Zidian , Goniewicz Maciej , Rahman Irfan , Li Dongmei 
Published: March 2023

Background
Socializing is one of the main motivations for water pipe smoking. Restrictions on social gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic might have influenced water pipe smokers’ behaviors. As one of the most popular social media platforms, Reddit has been used to study public opinions and user experiences.

Objective
In this study, we aimed to examine the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on public perception and discussion of water pipe tobacco smoking using Reddit data.

Methods
We collected Reddit posts between December 1, 2018, and June 30, 2021, from a Reddit archive (PushShift) using keywords such as “waterpipe,” “hookah,” and “shisha.” We examined the temporal trend in Reddit posts mentioning water pipes and different locations (such as homes and lounges or bars). The temporal trend was further tested using interrupted time series analysis. Sentiment analysis was performed to study the change in sentiment of water pipe–related posts before and during the pandemic. Topic modeling using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) was used to examine major topics discussed in water pipe–related posts before and during the pandemic.

Results
A total of 45,765 nonpromotion water pipe–related Reddit posts were collected and used for data analysis. We found that the weekly number of Reddit posts mentioning water pipes significantly increased at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (P<.001), and gradually decreased afterward (P<.001). In contrast, Reddit posts mentioning water pipes and lounges or bars showed an opposite trend. Compared to the period before the COVID-19 pandemic, the average number of Reddit posts mentioning lounges or bars was lower at the beginning of the pandemic but gradually increased afterward, while the average number of Reddit posts mentioning the word “home” remained similar during the COVID-19 pandemic (P=.29). While water pipe–related posts with a positive sentiment were dominant (12,526/21,182, 59.14% before the pandemic; 14,686/24,583, 59.74% after the pandemic), there was no change in the proportion of water pipe–related posts with different sentiments before and during the pandemic (P=.19, P=.26, and P=.65 for positive, negative, and neutral posts, respectively). Most topics related to water pipes on Reddit were similar before and during the pandemic. There were more discussions about the opening and closing of hookah lounges or bars during the pandemic.

Conclusions
This study provides a first evaluation of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public perceptions of and discussions about water pipes on Reddit.
Globalizing financial valuation: International property consultants in São Paulo
Authors: Shimbo Lucia , Sanfelici Daniel 
Published: March 2023

AbstractInternational property consultants (IPCs) have become key intermediaries in the globalization of property markets by providing a range of services that generate transparency and comparability in land and property-based investments. While their role in generating standardized information on local markets is well known, what is less is known is how IPCs help turn property into an income-yielding asset in less developed economies. This article investigates the contested diffusion of financialized valuation approaches in São Paulo's local property market. Through a qualitative inquiry into large IPCs and their main clients in the city, we show that IPCs have promoted valuation approaches that are tailored to the needs of financial market investors, thus affecting key investment decisions taken by diverse actors. Though these financialized techniques have at times clashed with more traditional views of property ownership prevalent in the country, we show that most often they co-exist with long-established valuation techniques that reflect the social and economic circumstances of Brazil's economy. The socially contingent nature of property valuation raises theoretical issues concerning the complexity of attributing value to fixed capital, as well as several policy issues.

<p> </p>
<h2>Objective</h2>
<p>To assess the real-world cardiovascular (CV) safety for SU, in comparison with dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) and thiazolidinediones (TZD) through development of robust methodology for causal inference in a whole nation study. </p>
<h2>Research Design and Methods</h2>
<p>A cohort study was performed including people with type 2 diabetes diagnosed in Scotland before 31 December 2017, who failed to reach HbA1c 48 mmol/mol despite metformin monotherapy and initiated second-line pharmacotherapy (SU/DPP4i/TZD) on or after 1 January 2010.</p>
<p>The primary outcome was the composite major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including hospitalization for myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, heart failure, and CV death. Secondary outcomes were each individual endpoint and all-cause death. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression and an instrumental variable (IV) approach were used to control confounding in a similar way to the randomization process in a randomized control trial. </p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Comparing SU to non-SU (DPP4i/TZD), the hazard ratio (HR) for MACE was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.91 to 1.09) from the multivariable Cox regression and 1.02 (0.91 - 1.13) and 1.03 (0.91- 1.16) using two different IVs. For all-cause death, the HR from Cox regression and the two IV analyses was 1.03 (0.94 - 1.13), 1.04 (0.93 - 1.17), and 1.03 (0.90 - 1.17). </p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Our findings contribute to the understanding that second-line SU for glucose lowering are unlikely to increase CV risk or all-cause mortality. Given their potent efficacy, microvascular benefits, cost effectiveness and widespread use, this study supports that SU should remain a part of the global diabetes treatment portfolio.Article </p>

Published: March 2023

<p> </p>
<p>Youth onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) is becoming increasingly prevalent especially among Latinos, and there is limited information on its pathophysiology and causative factors. Here we describe findings from a longitudinal cohort study in 262 Latino children with overweight/obesity at risk of developing T2D with annual measures of oral and intravenous glucose tolerance (IVGTT), body composition and fat distribution. Logistic binomial regression was used to identify significant predictors in those who developed T2D compared to matched controls, and mixed-effects growth models to compare rates of change in metabolic versus adiposity measures between groups. Overall conversion rate to T2D at year five was 2% (n=6). Rate of decline in disposition index (DI), measured with an IVGTT, over 5 years was 3X higher in cases (─341.7 units/year) compared to the extended cohort (‒106.7 units/year) and 20X higher compared to controls (‒15.2 units/year). Cases had a significantly higher annual increase in fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1c, waist circumference, and trunk fat and there was an inverse correlation between rate of decline in DI and rate of increase in adiposity measures. T2D development in at risk Latino youth is associated with a substantial and rapid decrease in DI that is directly correlated with increase in fasting glucose, HbA1c, and adiposity. </p>

Published: March 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat profil career anchor di tempat kerja, khususnya dalam organisasi birokrasi, serta implikasinya pada motivasi kerja aparatur sipil negara (ASN) yang bekerja di Direktorat Jenderal Otonomi Daerah Kementerian Dalam Negeri (Ditjen Otda Kemendagri). Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional untuk melihat pengaruh variabel x (career anchor) terhadap variabel y (motivasi kerja). Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan meliputi skala career anchor inventory (CAI) yang dikembangkan oleh Igbaria dan Baroudi (1993) dalam Meiliani & Budiarto (2008) dan skala The Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS) yang disusun oleh Gagné dkk. (2015). Jumlah partisipan dalam penelitian sebanyak 104 orang. Data yang diperoleh selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan teknik regresi sederhana menggunakan software SPSS. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa variabel career anchor berpengaruh terhadap variabel motivasi kerja sebesar b=.495 (Sig.=.000<.05, effect size 24.3%, = 0.243, Fhitung=32.662). Koefisien determinasi pengaruh career anchor terhadap motivasi kerja sebesar 0,243. Hal tersebut dapat diinterpretasikan bahwa variabel career anchor memiliki peran terhadap variabel work motivation sebesar 24,3%, sedangkan sisanya sebesar 75,7% dipengaruhi oleh faktor yang lain. Temuan lainnya menunjukkan bahwa profil career anchor yaitu pure challenge (thitung = 4.037) berpengaruh dominan terhadap motivasi kerja pegawai ASN di Ditjen Otda Kemendagri. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa motivasi kerja mayoritas pegawai dipengaruhi oleh tantangan untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan yang terjadi di lingkungan kerjanya dan didukung juga oleh adanya situasi kerja yang kompetitif.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Treatment of orofacial tumors in dogs is associated with high morbidity and reliable prognostic factors are lacking. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (DCECT) can be used to assess tumor perfusion. The objectives of this study were to describe the perfusion parameters of different types of orofacial tumors and to describe the changes in perfusion parameters during radiotherapy (RT) in a subset of them.

ANIMALS
11 dogs with orofacial tumors prospectively recruited.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND PROCEDURES
All dogs had baseline DCECT to assess blood volume (BV), blood flow (BF), and transit time (TT). Five dogs had repeat DCECT during megavoltage RT.

RESULTS
5 squamous cell carcinomas, 3 sarcomas, 1 melanoma, 1 histiocytic sarcoma, and 1 acanthomatous ameloblastoma were included. Blood volume and BF were higher in squamous cell carcinomas than in sarcomas, although no statistical analysis was performed. At repeat DCECT, 4 dogs showed a reduction in the size of their tumor during RT. Among these dogs, 3 showed an increase in BV and BF and 1 a decrease in these parameters between the baseline and the follow-up DCECT. The only dog whose tumor increased in size between the first and the second DCECT showed a decrease in BV and BF.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Perfusion parameters derived from DCECT were described in a series of dogs with various types of orofacial tumors. The results suggest that epithelial tumors could have higher BV and BF than mesenchymal tumors, although larger sample sizes are needed to support these preliminary findings.

Abstract
Breast carcinosarcoma is a rare malignancy accounting for approximately 0.08–0.2% of all breast tumours. It is a type of metaplastic mammary carcinoma displaying biphasic differentiation with epithelial and mesenchymal cellular characteristics with probable derivation from myoepithelial cells.
A 65-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a two-month history of a rapidly growing mass in her left breast. Neither her medical nor family history was positive for malignancies. Subsequently, she underwent a fine needle aspiration, which was positive for adenocarcinoma, followed by a lumpectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. The histology revealed an undifferentiated neoplasm and the immunohistochemical cell staining was positive for pan-cytokeratin, SMA, Vimentin, and S-100, suggesting the diagnosis of breast carcinosarcoma with a triple-negative immunophenotype. There was no evidence of metastasis except for a positive lymph node, indicating a stage IIIA disease. Thus, she received adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy. However, 16 months later, she presented with metastatic disease, and unfortunately, she died 4 months later due to a systemic infection.
Aggressive behavior, higher staging, chemoresistance, and higher proportion of triple negative breast cancer seem to be the main characteristics of breast carcinosarcoma, which is recognised as a separate entity from common invasive ductal carcinoma, with significantly worse clinical outcomes.
How (Un)Freedom is Being Developed: The Linguistic World of One Political Party in Slovakia Concerning Liberalism
Authors: Soóky Roman 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn the globalised world connected via communication technologies and social media, this paper endeavours to understand how politicians succeed in influencing peopleʼs linguistic worlds through their public communication. The patterns in politiciansʼ precise verbal usage convey intended connotations and redefine how people naturally experience the expressions concerning their conceptual knowledge associated with words. The paper thus suggests adjusting the schema of lexical meaning based on the biology of cognition, which acknowledges the uniqueness and diversity of how people understand received expressions and convey various contents in communication.

Abstract

Introduction

Blastocystis spp. is a common anaerobic intestinal parasite infecting humans and a diverse range of animals. The aim of the study was to compare different diagnostic methods for the detection of Blastocystis and survey the occurrence of its subtypes in farm animals, namely sheep, cows and camels, in Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates.

Material and Methods
Ninety-seven faecal samples comprised of 69 from sheep, 12 from cows and 16 from camels were submitted to DNA extraction, PCR and sequencing. Blastocystis was screened for microscopically in 65 samples using direct wet-mount, modified acid-fast staining, trichrome staining and in vitro culture techniques.

Results
Fifteen (15.5%) samples were positive by PCR, twelve of which were confirmed by sequencing. Using PCR as a comparison standard, the sensitivity and specificity of the direct wet-mount, modified acid-fast staining, trichrome staining and in vitro culture methods were 40.0% and 78.3%, 40.0% and 83.3%, 80.0% and 80.0%, and 80.0% and 76.7% respectively. Only culture and trichrome tests were significantly associated with PCR (odds ratio (OR) = 13.14; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.35–127.4; P = 0.007 and OR = 16; 95% CI: 1.63–156.5; P = 0.003, respectively) with trichrome detecting more positive cases than in vitro culture. The subtype (ST)10 was the only one found in all 12 sequenced sheep isolates.

Conclusion
The study corroborated previous data indicating that sheep are the natural hosts for ST10. No zoonotic subtypes nor mixed-subtype colonisation were found. The report also confirmed the superiority of trichrome staining in detecting Blastocystis spp.
