Published: September 2023

Purpose:
Stuttering is a fluency disorder that mostly begins in childhood and affects many people in our societies. No standardized screening tools are available to check for stuttering in the Indian school-going population. Thus, the study aimed at developing a screening tool to identify children who stutter among the school-going population using a Delphi-based approach.

Methods:
This study was carried out in four phases. During the first phase, five Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) were asked about the need for screening and the nature & attributes of a stuttering screening test for school-going children. The second phase involved constructing appropriate stimuli for the screening tool based on expert opinion, relevant literature and students’ academic textbooks. The third phase involved content validation of the speech elicitation stimuli by four teachers, five SLPs and an English Lecturer teaching in a university. The fourth phase encompassed the development of differential diagnosis criteria for stuttering identification in children using a rank analysis of the expert opinions.

Results:
A stuttering screening stimuli comprising age, language and culture-specific reading, picture description and narration tasks for 1st to 10th-standard students was developed. The contents of the tool obtained satisfactory consensus of agreement among the panel of experts. Further, the tool outlined five critical diagnostic criteria which could differentially diagnose school-going children with stuttering from typically speaking counterparts using the developed material.

Conclusion:
The developed screening tool could help practicing clinicians quickly identify stuttering in school-going populations. This would enable early identification and build up the statistical data to estimate the prevalence of stuttering among the school-going population. Further studies examining the psychometric properties of the developed test are in progress.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a Patient with Liver Cirrhosis: Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Hu Yangyang , Hu Shaoxian 
Published: September 2023

Background:There are no treatment guidelines for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for the patients with decompensated cirrhosis, especially for those who have a history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, gastrointestinal bleeding and gastric fundus ulceration.Case Presentation:A 50-year-old woman who had a six-year history of lupus was admitted to our hospital. One month prior, at the Department of Gastroenterology, she was diagnosed with decompensated liver cirrhosis with gastric fundal varicose bleeding, and HBV-related infection. During her visit to the hospital, gastroscopy showed esophageal varices and a large gastric fundus ulcer. Laboratory data indicated the rapid decrease of red blood cells, granulocytes and platelets and the persistent increase of serum globulin levels. According to the patient's medical history and existing laboratory examination, the patient experienced an exacerbation of SLE, which could be life-threatening.-While it remained uncertain whether the liver cirrhosis was caused by SLE or the HBV infection, immediate treatment was necessary. Consequently, she was treated with a low dose of methylprednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). The treatment resulted in significant clinical improvement. Moreover, there was no indication of HBV reactivation, gastrointestinal bleeding, liver dysfunction or other drug-induced side effects.Conclusion:This case indicated that irrespective of the underlying causes of liver cirrhosis, the combination of a low dose of methylprednisolone and MMF is an effective treatment method to inhibit the disease process for patients with SLE and decompensated liver cirrhosis, a large gastric fundus ulcer and HBV infection.

Transmission on the vehicle is very important component to ensure maximum power transfer from the engine to the wheels. The speed of four-wheeled vehicles is influenced by the transmission system used. Pulley is the component of continuous variable transmission (CVT) which is currently widely used in the automotive industry. The CVT transmission is type of automatic transmission with gearshift process that does not use gears, but uses pulley. The pulley is made of stainless steel. For CVT transmission there are two pulleys, both of which are called driven pulleys. The CVT transmission shift operation is controlled electronically from the computer to drive the two pulleys. These two pulleys can move to the right or to the left, respectively, so that the width of the two pulleys can change to narrow or widen. The drive pulley moves away so the belt will move inward and the same time the driven pulley will narrow so the belt will move further out. The pulley diameter becomes the gear ratio in a CVT transmission. In the CVT transmission process there will be friction between the two surfaces of the pulley and the belt, therefore it is necessary to measure the hardness of the material from the pulley to ensure the vehicle's transmission capability. In this study, the hardness of the pulley material was measured using a Vickers machine according to the ASTM 6507 standard with a given load of 0.3 kg. The measurement results obtained an average value of hardness Vickers (HV) for the pulley material of 473.

One of the renewable energy sources that can be used to generate electricity is wind energy. This research aims to numerically study the Savonius Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) type to obtain the mechanical torque, load torque, shaft diameter, and the empirical equation showing the relationship between the mechanical torque and power generated. The numerical study employs MATLAB R2018a software with the parameters mechanical torque, load torque, and power. The obtained mechanical torque is also used to determine the design of the shaft diameter based on its maximum mechanical torque. From this numerical study, the value of mechanical torque is greater than the mechanical load, and it also obtains the empirical equation of the relationship between mechanical torque and power. Validation is carried out on the empirical equation with valid results as it has the ± 10% tolerance. Furthermore, it is obtained that the design of the minimum shaft diameter of the wind turbine with PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament material is 2 mm. This Savonius turbine design can be used for placement on vehicles and in areas in Indonesia with low to high wind speeds with variations between 1 m/s – 17 m/s.

Taal, macht en identiteitspolitiek: een kritische blik op Gijs van Oenen's 'Culturele veldslagen'
Authors: Vintges Karen 
Published: September 2023

Emancipatie is goed, identiteitspolitiek is fout, zo luidt de strekking van het recente boek van politiek filosoof Gijs van Oenen, getiteld Culturele veldslagen: Filosofie van de culture wars. Kritiek op identiteitspolitiek - vooral die in de woke vorm – is vandaag de dag niks bijzonders. Ook de analyse van Van Oenen dat er net zo goed een identiteitspolitiek van rechts als van links bestaat is niet nieuw, evenmin als zijn ‘oplossing’ namelijk liberalisme en de rechtsstaat – beide treffen we bijvoorbeeld aan bij Anthony Appiah’s The Lies That Bind: Rethinking Identity (2019). Nieuw is wel dat Van Oenen - die zich als links intellectueel afficheert – hierbij etiketten gebruikt die momenteel gangbaar zijn in de hoek van alt right. De termen ‘cultuurmarxisme’ en ‘culture wars’ - zie de titel van zijn boek - worden door hem als neutraal gepresenteerd, maar het is de vraag wat hij daarmee binnen haalt.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Wearable digital health technologies (DHTs) have become increasingly popular in recent years, enabling more capabilities to assess behaviors and physiology in free-living conditions. The All of Us Research Program (AoURP), a National Institutes of Health initiative that collects health-related information from participants in the United States, has expanded its data collection to include DHT data from Fitbit devices. This offers researchers an unprecedented opportunity to examine a large cohort of DHT data alongside biospecimens and electronic health records. However, there are existing challenges and sources of error that need to be considered before using Fitbit device data from the AoURP. In this viewpoint, we examine the reliability of and potential error sources associated with the Fitbit device data available through the AoURP Researcher Workbench and outline actionable strategies to mitigate data missingness and noise. We begin by discussing sources of noise, including (1) inherent measurement inaccuracies, (2) skin tone–related challenges, and (3) movement and motion artifacts, and proceed to discuss potential sources of data missingness in Fitbit device data. We then outline methods to mitigate such missingness and noise in the data. We end by considering how future enhancements to the AoURP’s Fitbit device data collection methods and the inclusion of new Fitbit data types would impact the usability of the data. Although the reliability considerations and suggested literature are tailored toward Fitbit device data in the AoURP, the considerations and recommendations are broadly applicable to data from wearable DHTs in free-living conditions.

Authors: Vaezipour Atiyeh , Aldridge Danielle , Koenig Sebastian , Burns Clare , Baghaei Nilufar , Theodoros Deborah , Russell Trevor 
Published: September 2023

Background
Individuals who have acquired communication disorders often struggle to transfer the skills they learn during therapy sessions to real-life situations. Immersive virtual reality (VR) technology has the potential to create realistic communication environments that can be used both in clinical settings and for practice at home by individuals with communication disorders.

Objective
This research aims to enhance our understanding of the acceptance, usefulness, and usability of a VR application (SIM:Kitchen), designed for communication rehabilitation. Additionally, this research aims to identify the perceived barriers and benefits of using VR technology from the perspective of individuals with acquired communication disorders.

Methods
Semistructured interviews and usability surveys were conducted with 10 individuals with acquired neurogenic communication disorders aged 46-81 (mean 58, SD 9.57) years after trialing an immersive VR application. The audio-recorded interviews were transcribed and analyzed to identify themes.

Results
The quantitative data regarding the usability of the system associated with participants’ immersion experience in the VR application were promising. Findings from semistructured interviews are discussed across five key thematic areas including (1) participant’s attitude toward VR, (2) perceived usefulness of the VR system, (3) perceived ease of use of the VR system, (4) their willingness to continue using VR, and (5) the factors they perceived as challenges or facilitators to adopting this VR technology.

Conclusions
Overall, participants in this study found the VR experience to be enjoyable and were impressed by the realism of the VR application designed for communication rehabilitation. This study highlighted personally relevant, immersive VR interventions with different levels of task difficulty that could enhance technology uptake in the context of communication rehabilitation. However, it is essential that VR hand controller technology is refined to be more naturalistic in movement and able to accommodate user capabilities.
The Effects of a Parent-Focused Social Media Intervention on Child Sun Safety: Pilot and Feasibility Study
Authors: Manne Sharon , Wu Yelena , Buller David , Heckman Carolyn , Devine Katie , Frederick Sara , Solleder Justin , Schaefer Alexis , Lu Shou-En 
Published: September 2023

Background
Middle childhood (ages 8-12 years) is a critical period for forming behavioral habits and reducing the risk for the development of skin cancer later in life. During this time, children develop more autonomy and spend more unsupervised time away from their parents. Professional agencies recommend that all children engage in regular sun protection behaviors and avoid the sun during peak daytime hours. Unfortunately, in middle childhood, child sun protection often declines and UV radiation exposure increases. Effective parenting involves balancing ways to encourage the child’s increasing independence while providing practical assistance to ensure sun protection is implemented.

Objective
The goal was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of Sun Safe Families, a Facebook group intervention for parents of children between 8 and 12 years of age.

Methods
The team developed Facebook messages targeting parent knowledge, normative influences, sun safety barriers, planning and goal setting, confidence in implementing sun safety, communication, forming habits, and managing sun safety in risky situations. A total of 92 parents were enrolled, and the groups ran for 6 weeks. Feasibility was measured by enrollment and retention rates. Acceptability was measured by engagement in the Facebook groups. Satisfaction was assessed by a treatment evaluation. At pre- and post-intervention, parents completed measures of child sun protection, UV radiation exposure, sunburn, sun safety knowledge, child risk, barriers, sun protection self-efficacy, planning, sun safe habits, norms for child sun safety, and communication about sun safety.

Results
Enrollment (64.3%, 92/143) and retention (94.6%, 87/92) were good. On average, participants viewed 67.6% (56.8/84) of posts, “liked” 16.4% (13.77/84) of posts, commented on 14.8% (12.43/84) of posts, and voted on 46% (6.4/14) of polls. Satisfaction was excellent. From pre- to post-intervention, there were significant increases in child sun protection, sun exposure, and sunburn (P<.01; moderate effect sizes), as well as statistically significant increases in planning and self-efficacy (P<.05) and family norms and parent communication (P<.01).

Conclusions
This study demonstrated high survey retention, acceptability, and satisfaction with the intervention. There were promising preliminary effects on child sun protection behaviors and parent sun protection attitudes and communication with their child. Replication with a larger sample size and a comparison condition is warranted.
Material Agency of Crystals in New Spirituality
Authors: Teidearu Tenno 
Published: September 2023

This paper studies crystals in New Spirituality in Estonia not only as things, or objects, used in certain practices, but also as agentive materials. My research participants, who wear crystals, take their material properties seriously, finding the properties to have supportive qualities, according to esoteric interpretation. Nevertheless, things and materials, objects and minerals, are never permanent; they have material lives of their own. Sometimes minerals lose their gloss, crack, break or just become lost. Physical decay and displacement, which are the focus of this paper, have meaning-making potential, which my interlocutors interpret within the framework of the esoteric. Their perception of these minerals can be understood in posthumanist and new materialist terms. The paper uses the concept of material agency to demonstrate how natural processes of decay acquire cultural meaning by connecting material properties and human interpretation.

Published: September 2023

High voltages of alternative current (AC) are important because they are needed for numerous applications in physics and engineering. High AC voltages are also used to test insulating materials for their dielectric properties. Calibrations of instruments for high-voltage measurements should provide metrological traceability to national standards. This applies to the requirements for both voltage measuring instruments and current measuring instruments. The transformer for high-voltage measurements is used to reduce the values of currents and voltages during measurements in high-voltage electrical networks.
Voltage transformers (VTs) are used to accurately measure high AC voltages. Current transformers (CTs) are used to convert line currents in power systems to levels that are acceptable for other measuring instruments, which are necessary to trip protective devices. There are measuring installations that are well known for accurate measurements of the CT coefficient for large primary currents, and systems for determining the behaviour of the industrial current and VT under distorted waveforms, etc. The calibration of a high voltage measuring system must be traceable to national or international measurement standards. Mutual comparisons of calibration results of CT and VT standards are carried out with the participation of several national laboratories.
The results of high voltage transformer measuring systems (GULFMET.EM-S6) and high current transformer measuring systems (GULFMET.EM-S7) supplementary comparisons are described. The comparisons were carried out between national laboratories from three Regional Metrology Organizations. In general, the participants of both comparisons have demonstrated a good agreement of the results in the ratio error and phase displacement for high voltage and current. The comparison results may be used to improve the participants’ existing calibration and measurement capabilities entries in the Key Comparison Database (KCDB) of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM).

La producción agrícola es sensible a los factores climáticos y el estudio de sus relaciones es fundamental para comprender su comportamiento a futuro; por ello, el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el efecto de los factores climáticos determinantes en la producción de Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) McVaugh, en Ucayali – Perú, 2009-2019; para ello, mediante la función de producción se cuantificó el efecto de los factores climáticos (temperatura y precipitación pluvial) determinantes sobre la producción del camu-camu en Ucayali; considerando para ello, como dimensiones de la producción: rendimiento por hectárea (t.ha-1), superficie cosechada (ha) y el valor bruto de la producción (soles) del periodo 2009 – 2019 y su proyección hasta el 2029, utilizando el método de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios (MCO). Se pudo determinar que la precipitación pluvial es el factor climático con mayor importancia sobre el rendimiento con un 48,79%; y que, al 2029 la tendencia de su rendimiento es negativo, con una reducción de 1,12 t.ha-1. Por otro lado, la temperatura máxima es el factor climático determinante sobre la superficie cosechada del camu-camu en 68,82%; al 2029 su proyección es positiva con un incremento de 835,50 ha. Así también, la temperatura máxima es el factor climático determinante sobre el valor bruto de la producción de camu-camu a un 82,62% y al 2029, su proyección será positiva con un incremento de 3 546 843,95 soles.
