Authors: Soares Rute Falcão , Freire Marco Aurelio M 
Published: June 2023

Objective: To characterize social communication in children up to 12 years old diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) treated at the Child Psychosocial Care Center (CAPSi) in Mossoró/RN. Methods: Exploratory, descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study conducted at CAPSi in Mossoró/RN. The data collection was based on the application of questionnaires to parents/guardians to characterize their socioeconomic conditions and their perception of their children. The Language Development Assessment (LDA) instrument for children was used, developed to assess the acquisition and development of language content (semantics) and structure (morphology and syntax). The questionnaires were coded, and the data were tabulated for further statistical analysis. Results: 33 children and 73 parents/guardians were studied. Most parents/guardians were female (95.9%), aged 30-39 years (mean age 37.6 years predominantly), with a partner (60%), with high school education (45%), and monthly income around one minimum wage (76.7%), having positive attitudes toward their children and noticing difficulties in their communication. In applying the questionnaire to the children, 63.7% presented results within the normal range, while 3% presented mild and 33.3% severe language alterations. Conclusion: Children with ASD attending CAPSi have language disorders in the pragmatic sublevel, and more than half of the participants did not have morphosyntactic and semantic changes.

Published: June 2023

Background
Social robots, as a form of digital health technologies, are used to support emotional, cognitive, and physical care and have shown promising outcomes in enhancing social well-being in people with dementia (PwD) by boosting emotions, social interactions, and activity participation.

Objective
The goal is to investigate the attitude of stakeholders and potential facilitators and the barriers to implementing the social robot MINI in community-based meeting centers (MCs) for PwD and carers in the Netherlands and Spain.

Methods
Based on the British Medical Research Council guidance for process evaluation of the implementation of complex interventions and the model for tracing the facilitators of and barriers to the adaptive implementation of innovations in dementia care, an explorative qualitative study was conducted. Following the introduction of the MINI robot, 11 stakeholders were interviewed in 3 MCs in the Netherlands and 1 in Spain, as well as stakeholders in health and welfare organizations in both countries. In addition, 12 adults with dementia participated in focus groups. The data were thematically analyzed and narratively described.

Results
Overall, the stakeholder opinion and interest in the MINI robot were positive. The most important (expected) facilitating factors mentioned by stakeholders appeared to be human resources, funding, the impact of the MINI robot on the users and programs of the MCs, characteristics of the innovation, and collaboration with other care and welfare organizations. However, the (expected) barriers mentioned concerned the physical context and functionalities of the MINI robot, the user context, and MC activity policies.

Conclusions
The findings will inform professional stakeholders, such as MC directors and managers, as well as care and welfare organizations, on the practicality of using the MINI robot in MCs. Furthermore, our research will aid MINI robot developers in tailoring its features to PwD’s preferences and demands and MC policies, which will contribute to the MINI robot’s effective adoption and deployment.

Published: June 2023

Background
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is proven to prevent HIV infection. However, PrEP uptake to date has been limited and inequitable. Analyzing the readability of existing PrEP-related information is important to understand the potential impact of available PrEP information on PrEP uptake and identify opportunities to improve PrEP-related education and communication.

Objective
We examined the readability of web-based PrEP information identified using search engines and on Twitter. We investigated the readability of web-based PrEP documents, stratified by how the PrEP document was obtained on the web, information source, document format and communication method, PrEP modality, and intended audience.

Methods
Web-based PrEP information in English was systematically identified using search engines and the Twitter API. We manually verified and categorized results and described the method used to obtain information, information source, document format and communication method, PrEP modality, and intended audience. Documents were converted to plain text for the analysis and readability of the collected documents was assessed using 4 readability indices. We conducted pairwise comparisons of readability based on how the PrEP document was obtained on the web, information source, document format, communication method, PrEP modality, and intended audience, then adjusted for multiple comparisons.

Results
A total of 463 documents were identified. Overall, the readability of web-based PrEP information was at a higher level (10.2-grade reading level) than what is recommended for health information provided to the general public (ninth-grade reading level, as suggested by the Department of Health and Human Services). Brochures (n=33, 7% of all identified resources) were the only type of PrEP materials that achieved the target of ninth-grade reading level.

Conclusions
Web-based PrEP information is often written at a complex level for potential and current PrEP users to understand. This may hinder PrEP uptake for some people who would benefit from it. The readability of PrEP-related information found on the web should be improved to align more closely with health communication guidelines for reading level to improve access to this important health information, facilitate informed decisions by those with a need for PrEP, and realize national prevention goals for PrEP uptake and reducing new HIV infections in the United States.

Background: In acute COVID-19, plasma D-Dimer is a useful biomarker and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common. However, it is less clear whether this is the case during long-term recovery.
Objectives: To report D-Dimer values and incidence of new VTE ≥90 days following COVID-19.
Methods: In British Columbia (BC), patients supported at the Post-COVID-19 Recovery Clinics underwent routine investigations including D-Dimer as part of a learning health system. Among patients with a positive D-Dimer (≥500ng/mL) test 90–180 days following COVID-19 symptom onset, we performed a retrospective chart review to determine whether imaging for VTE was done.
Results: There were 806 patients reviewed. Of these, 252 (30.3%) had a positive D-Dimer. Imaging was pursued in 56 (6.9%) and 9 (1.1%) were diagnosed with new VTE.Interpretation: At ≥90 days post COVID-19, D-Dimer is often positive, but it is relatively rare to diagnose new VTE.
RésuméContexte: Dans les cas de COVID-19 aiguë, le D-dimère est un biomarqueur plasmatique utile et la thromboem-bolie veineuse (TEV) est fréquente. Toutefois, on ignore si c’est le cas au cours du rétablissement à long terme.
Objectifs: Connaître les taux plasmatiques de D-dimères et la fréquence d’une nouvelle TEV à 90 jours ou plus après avoir contracté la COVID-19.
Méthodologie: En Colombie-Britannique, les patients suivis par les cliniques de rétablissement de la COVID-19 ont subi des examens systématiques, dont le dosage des D-dimères, dans le cadre d’un système de santé apprenant. Chez les patients ayant obtenu un résultat positif au dosage des D-dimères (≥ 500 ng/mL) de 90 à 180 jours après l’apparition des symptômes de la COVID19, nous avons effectué un examen rétrospectif de leur dossier pour savoir si un examen d’imagerie pour la détection d’une TEV a été réalisé.
Résultats: Nous avons évalué 806 patients. De ce nombre, 252 (30,3 %) ont obtenu un résultat positif au dos-age des D-dimères. Un examen d’imagerie a été réalisé chez 56 patients (6,9 %) et un diagnostic de nouvelle TEV a été posé chez 9 d’entre eux (1,1 %).
Interprétation: Quatre-vingt-dix jours ou plus après avoir contracté la COVID-19, le dosage des D-dimères est souvent positif, mais le diagnostic d’une nouvelle TEV est relativement rare.

Published: June 2023

In recent years, as microelectronics technology advances, the number of miniature devices has increased as well as the demand for power supply. Polymer-based electrospun nanofiber membranes have been used as lithium-ion (LI) battery separators and filtration medium. This study investigates the mechanical properties of orientated polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mats prepared by electrospinning a solution containing PAN and PA6, separately. The PA6 granules and the PAN powder were dissolved in formic acid solvent and N, N-dimethylformamide solvent, respectively. To generate the composite mat, the PA6 nanofiber mat was first electrospun, followed by the PAN nanofiber mat directly electrospun on the PA6 nanofiber mat. In our experiment, we employed the following electrospinning parameters: a voltage of 25 kV, a flow rate of 0.65 ml/h, 25 cm between the tip of the syringe and the drum collector centre, and a constant rotating speed of 1800 rpm. The mechanical properties of nanofiber composite mats, such as the tensile strength and Young’s modulus, were examined. The results demonstrate a reduction in the tensile strength and an increase in the elastic modulus of the composite nanofiber mats by 12% and 126% compared to PA6 nanofiber mats, respectively. The structure of spun nanofibers enables their use as separators for lithium-ion batteries and as a filtering medium. This article suggests the improved mechanical characteristics of nanofiber membranes for use as a barrier in lithium-ion batteries and for filtration.

Published: June 2023

Currently, the educational system of Ukraine is experiencing hard times due to full-scale war. A literature review revealed that military actions harm the mental health of civilians and cause fear, stress, loneliness and burnout. Therefore, learning strategies in wartime should contain effective and psychologically comfortable assimilation of new knowledge. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of mindset activities in boosting the psychological well-being of engineering students and improving their EFL grammar and vocabulary skills. A two-group pre and post-test design was used. First-year engineering students were included in the study. PHQ-9 depression questionnaire was used to measure the rate of depression before and after treatment. The questionnaire responses in the experimental group before and after treatment showed that the number of students with moderate depression decreased to 15% after treatment and the percentage of students with minimal depression increased by 20%. The changes in mild depression were minor (5%). By contrast, the respondents’ answers to the pre-and post-treatment questionnaire in the control sample did not show significant shifts from severe to minimal rates of depression. To compare students’ scores in EFL pre- and post-grammar and vocabulary tests after applying mindset activities the Fisher’s Exact Test was used. Twenty-five students of the experimental group (83.3%) passed the test (n1 = 30) and twenty students (57.1%) succeeded in passing the test in the control sample (n2 = 35). The application of the test showed that the obtained empirical value φ (2.359) is higher than the critical value φ (1.64) at P < 0.05. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that employing mindset activities in EFL classes during wartime can help reduce the rate of depression among engineering students and improve EFL grammar and vocabulary skills.

Published: June 2023

The article analyzes the statistics of rubber-cord coupling failures during 2015 till 2022. The analysis of failures shows that prevailing cases are rupture of the rubber-cord coupling side surface. It should be noted that the cost of eliminating the consequences of a rubber-cord coupling rupture is on average 575.21 EUR for one unscheduled repair. To study the possible reasons of the rubber-cord coupling rupture, the couplings removed from the motor cars after unscheduled repairs were taken. In the process of research, the warming temperature of the rubber-cord coupling, hardness at various temperatures and forces acting on the rubber-cord coupling during operation, i.e. the operational conditions of the rubber-cord coupling were determined. The purpose of these studies is to determine the possible causes of the rubber-cord coupling side surface. The research process of rubber-cord couplings consisted of four stages. 1. Determination of the geometric dimensions of the coupling and comparison of the obtained data with the data of ISO 14691:2008. 2. Theoretical determination (calculations) of: torque, centrifugal force, shear stress and radial load acting on the coupling. 3. Determination of hardness on the Shore A scale depending on the temperature of the rubber-cord coupling in three temperature ranges t = -20 °C; 0 °C; + 22 °C; + 60 °C in the RTU laboratory. Comparison of the obtained data with the data of ISO 14691:2008. 4. Drawing the main conclusions about the possible causes of rupture of the rubber-cord coupling. The purpose of these studies is to determine the possible causes of the rubber-cord coupling side surface. The forces and stresses acting in the zones of damage to rubber-cord couplings are determined. According to the results of calculations, the values of the forces Рс; Рс1 and stresses τk caused by the torque Ma acting on the rubber-cord coupling in the destruction zones and the values of forces and stresses capable of causing the destruction of rubber-cord couplings are determined. In the article hardness of the rubber-cord coupling was also studied at various temperature conditions.

In the field of protective smart clothing, such topics as monitoring of wearer’s vital signs and spatial position are thoroughly studied in the literature. On the other hand, solutions for monitoring of hazardous events, such as high-energy impacts with foreign objects are studied to less extent. Such protective clothing is intended both for operators, working in environments with a risk of injury due to impact with moving parts or falling objects, e.g. operators of heavy agricultural machinery, first responders etc. Such a sensor would enable to detect the location of the impact, its force and would allow to develop a system that sends appropriate emergency signals. The proposed paper focuses on the development of such a sensor, giving a special attention to its structure and usable materials. The proposed matrix array sensor consists of three layers: upper and lower layers with electrically conductive traces and the intermediate piezoresistive layer. Due to the intended application, a textile piezoresistive layer is chosen and after studying the commercially available materials, EeonTex LTT-SLPA 60 kOhm conductive polymer-coated knitted fabric and Sefar Carbotex 03-120CF, 03-160CF and 03-205CF carbon/polyester woven fabrics were selected as the most suitable candidates for further testing. The testing was accomplished using Zwick/Roell Z2.5 compression/strain testing column and Agilent A34970A ohmmeter. The testing focused on changes in fabrics’ conductivity under cyclic stress, sensitivity, measurement hysteresis and repeatability. Different technologies for connecting the piezoresistive and the outside layers were tested as well: direct connection and connection using conductive adhesive textile tapes. Based on the results obtained during testing, recommendations are given for the usage of the studied materials, based on their performance under various levels of stress. During the experiments the best metrological results were demonstrated by piezoresistive fabrics with conductive polymer coating. Besides that, it was concluded that while hot-melt adhesive conductive tapes substantially degrade the sensors’ properties, the use of self-adhesive conductive tapes ensure constant and stable contact between the sandwich layers and thus improve the measuring stability.
Accounting or Finance? The Role of Differential Career Beliefs on Undergraduate Students’ Choices of Major
Authors: Jordan Erin E. , Kaplan Steven E. , Samuels Janet A. 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
This study examines the role of four differential career beliefs on students’ decisions to major in accounting or finance. Differential career beliefs were calculated as the belief about an accounting versus a finance career for the following four career beliefs: interesting work, job security, job variety, and high earnings potential. Students’ background characteristics (such as age, gender, etc.) were included as control variables. A survey was administered to 271 accounting and finance majors enrolled in the first intermediate accounting course. Results indicate that the differential career belief about interesting work had the greatest impact on choices of major and that differential career beliefs about job security and high earnings potential were also significant. Our findings suggest that finance students would be more likely to choose accounting as a major if their beliefs about accounting involving interesting work could be increased.
