Authors: Cinalioglu Karin , Elbaz Sasha , Sekhon Kerman , Su Chien-Lin , Rej Soham , Sekhon Harmehr 
Published: April 2023

Background
The changing landscape of health care has led to the incorporation of powerful new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with various services across a hospital. However, despite the potential outcomes that this tool may provide, little work has examined public opinion regarding their use.

Objective
In this study, we aim to explore differences between younger versus older Canadians with regard to the level of comfort and perceptions around the adoption and use of AI in health care settings.

Methods
Using data from the 2021 Canadian Digital Health Survey (n=12,052), items related to perceptions about the use of AI as well as previous experience and satisfaction with health care were identified. We conducted Mann-Whitney U tests to compare the level of comfort of younger versus older Canadians regarding the use of AI in health care for a variety of purposes. Multinomial logistic regression was used to predict the comfort ratings based on categorical indicators.

Results
Younger Canadians had greater knowledge of AI, but older Canadians were more comfortable with AI applied to monitoring and predicting health conditions, decision support, diagnostic imaging, precision medicine, drug and vaccine development, disease monitoring at home, tracking epidemics, and optimizing workflow to save time. Additionally, for older respondents, higher satisfaction led to higher comfort ratings. Only 1 interaction effect was identified between previous experience, satisfaction, and comfort with AI for drug and vaccine development.

Conclusions
Older Canadians may be more open to various applications of AI within health care than younger Canadians. High satisfaction may be a critical criterion for comfort with AI, especially for older Canadians. Additionally, in the case of drug and vaccine development, previous experience may be an important moderating factor. We conclude that gaining a greater understanding of the perceptions of all health care users is integral to the implementation and sustainability of new and cutting-edge technologies in health care settings.
Functional Health Literacy Among Chinese Populations and Associated Factors: Latent Class Analysis
Authors: Dong Zhaogang , Ji Meng , Shan Yi , Xu Xiaofei , Xing Zhaoquan 
Published: April 2023

Background
Poor functional health literacy has been found to be independently associated with poor self-assessed health, poor understanding of one’s health condition and its management, and higher use of health services. Given the importance of functional health literacy, it is necessary to assess the overall status of functional health literacy in the general public. However, the literature review shows that no studies of functional health literacy have been conducted among the Chinese population in China.

Objective
This study aimed to classify Chinese populations into different functional health literacy clusters and ascertain significant factors closely associated with low functional health literacy to provide some implications for health education, medical research, and public health policy making.

Methods
We hypothesized that the participants’ functional health literacy levels were associated with various demographic characteristics. Therefore, we designed a four-section questionnaire including the following information: (1) age, gender, and education; (2) self-assessed disease knowledge; (3) 3 validated health literacy assessment tools (ie, the All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale, the eHealth Literacy Scale, and the 6-item General Health Numeracy Test); and (4) health beliefs and self-confidence measured by the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scales Form B. Using randomized sampling, we recruited survey participants from Qilu Hospital affiliated to Shandong University, China. The questionnaire was administered via wenjuanxing. A returned questionnaire was valid only when all question items included were answered, according to our predefined validation criterion. All valid data were coded according to the predefined coding schemes of Likert scales with different point (score) ranges. Finally, we used latent class analysis to classify Chinese populations into clusters of different functional health literacy and identify significant factors closely associated with low functional health literacy.

Results
All data in the 800 returned questionnaires proved valid according to the predefined validation criterion. Applying latent class analysis, we classified Chinese populations into low (n=292, 36.5%), moderate-to-adequate (n=286, 35.7%), and low-to-moderate (n=222, 27.8%) functional health literacy groups and identified five factors associated with low communicative health literacy: (1) male gender (aged 40-49 years), (2) lower educational attainment (below diploma), (3) age between 38 and 68 years, (4) lower self-efficacy, and (5) belief that staying healthy was a matter of luck.

Conclusions
We classified Chinese populations into 3 functional health literacy groups and identified 5 factors associated with low functional health literacy. These associated factors can provide some implications for health education, medical research, and health policy making.
Decision of the Optimal Rank of a Nonnegative Matrix Factorization Model for Gene Expression Data Sets Utilizing the Unit Invariant Knee Method: Development and Evaluation of the Elbow Method for Rank Selection
Authors: Guven Emine 
Published: April 2023

Background
There is a great need to develop a computational approach to analyze and exploit the information contained in gene expression data. The recent utilization of nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) in computational biology has demonstrated the capability to derive essential details from a high amount of data in particular gene expression microarrays. A common problem in NMF is finding the proper number rank (r) of factors of the degraded demonstration, but no agreement exists on which technique is most appropriate to utilize for this purpose. Thus, various techniques have been suggested to select the optimal value of rank factorization (r).

Objective
In this work, a new metric for rank selection is proposed based on the elbow method, which was methodically compared against the cophenetic metric.

Methods
To decide the optimum number rank (r), this study focused on the unit invariant knee (UIK) method of the NMF on gene expression data sets. Since the UIK method requires an extremum distance estimator that is eventually employed for inflection and identification of a knee point, the proposed method finds the first inflection point of the curvature of the residual sum of squares of the proposed algorithms using the UIK method on gene expression data sets as a target matrix.

Results
Computation was conducted for the UIK task using gene expression data of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia samples. Consequently, the distinct results of NMF were subjected to comparison on different algorithms. The proposed UIK method is easy to perform, fast, free of a priori rank value input, and does not require initial parameters that significantly influence the model’s functionality.

Conclusions
This study demonstrates that the elbow method provides a credible prediction for both gene expression data and for precisely estimating simulated mutational processes data with known dimensions. The proposed UIK method is faster than conventional methods, including metrics utilizing the consensus matrix as a criterion for rank selection, while achieving significantly better computational efficiency without visual inspection on the curvatives. Finally, the suggested rank tuning method based on the elbow method for gene expression data is arguably theoretically superior to the cophenetic measure.

Published: April 2023

Background
Achieving the target for eliminating tuberculosis (TB) in India by 2025, 5 years ahead of the global target, critically depends on strengthening the capacity of human resources as one of the key components of the health system. Due to the rapid updates of standards and protocols, the human resources for TB health care suffer from a lack of understanding of recent updates and acquiring necessary knowledge.

Objective
Despite an increasing focus on the digital revolution in health care, there is no such platform available to deliver the key updates in national TB control programs with easy access. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the development and evolution of a mobile health tool for capacity building of the Indian health system’s workforce to better manage patients with TB.

Methods
This study involved two phases. The first phase was based on a qualitative investigation, including personal interviews to understand the basic requirements of staff working in the management of patients with TB, followed by participatory consultative meetings with stakeholders to validate and develop the content for the mobile health app. Qualitative information was collected from the Purbi Singhbhum and Ranchi districts of Jharkhand and Gandhinagar, and from the Surat districts of Gujarat State. In the second phase, a participatory design process was undertaken as part of the content creation and validation exercises.

Results
The first phase collected information from 126 health care staff, with a mean age of 38.4 (SD 8.9) years and average work experience of 8.9 years. The assessment revealed that more than two-thirds of participants needed further training and lacked knowledge of the most current updates to TB program guidelines. The consultative process determined the need for a digital solution in easily accessible formats and ready reckoner content to deliver practical solutions to address operational issues for implementation of the program. Ultimately, the digital platform named Ni-kshay SETU (Support to End Tuberculosis) was developed to support the knowledge enhancement of health care workers.

Conclusions
The development of staff capacity is vital to the success or failure of any program or intervention. Having up-to-date information provides confidence to health care staff when interacting with patients in the community and aids in making quick judgments when handling case scenarios. Ni-kshay SETU represents a novel digital capacity-building platform for enhancing human resource skills in achieving the goal of TB elimination.
Situating Meditation Apps Within the Ecosystem of Meditation Practice: Population-Based Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Lam Sin U , Xie Qiang , Goldberg Simon B 
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Meditation apps have the potential to increase access to evidence-based strategies to promote mental health. However, it is currently unclear how meditation apps are situated within the broader landscape of meditation practice and what factors may influence engagement with them.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to clarify the prevalence and correlates of meditation app use in a population-based sample of individuals with lifetime exposure to meditation in the United States. In addition, we sought to identify the concerns and desired features of meditation apps among those with lifetime exposure to meditation.

METHODS

A total of 953 participants completed an initial screening survey. Of these 953 participants, 434 (45.5%) reported lifetime exposure to meditation and completed a follow-up survey (434/470, 92.3% response rate) assessing their meditation app use, anxiety, depression, loneliness, initial motivation for meditation, and concerns about and desired features of meditation apps.

RESULTS

Almost half (434/953, 45.5%) of the participants who completed the screening survey reported lifetime exposure to meditation. Among those with lifetime exposure to meditation (ie, meditators), more than half (255/434, 58.8%) had used meditation apps at least once in their lives, and 21.7% (94/434) used meditation apps weekly or daily (ie, active users). Younger age, higher anxiety, and a mental health motivation for practicing meditation were associated with lifetime exposure to meditation apps. Among meditators, those with lifetime exposure to meditation apps were more likely to report concerns about apps, including concerns regarding the cost and effectiveness of apps, time required for use, technical issues with apps, and app user-friendliness. Meditators who used meditation apps weekly or daily (ie, active users) were younger, less likely to be men and non-Latinx White individuals and have lower income, and more likely to have an initial spiritual motivation for meditation. Active users reported more concerns regarding usability and technical problems and were less likely to report disinterest in apps. Headspace and Calm were the most frequently used apps. Tips and reminders for practice, encouragement of “mini” practices, and mental health content were the most desired features. Participants were less interested in social features (eg, the ability to communicate with other users or teachers).

CONCLUSIONS

Meditation apps are commonly used by meditators in the United States, with a higher use among certain demographic groups. Future studies may increase user engagement in meditation apps by addressing concerns (eg, cost and effectiveness) and incorporating desired features (eg, tips and reminders for practice).
Behavior study of the steel plate girder with a cellular honeycomb web
Authors: AMMASH Haider K. , SHAFFAF Noora N. 
Published: April 2023

Based on the experimental test results of the authors, this investigation is concerned with the finite element analysis to examine and compare the load values and failure modes of the authors’ results. This research was conducted using the Abaqus software. The experimental work included the fabrication of twelve plate girders with honeycomb and flat web plate corrugation patterns, which were then tested under a single concentrated load at the midspan. According to the corrugation dimension or outer honeycomb web thickness, the honeycomb steel plate web girder is divided into three groups (60 mm, 80 mm and 100 mm). The specimens also involved plate girders with a flat web. The specimens were created with three lengths (600 mm, 1,200 mm and 1,800 mm). The Abaqus software was used in finite element models to simulate the concentrated load. The numerical results demonstrated that the 60 mm thick honeycomb web provides a greater load-bearing capacity and shear strength than other girders. The 20 mm honeycomb corrugation on the steel plate girder indicates the increased and improved shear resistance. The conclusion was that as the width of the corrugation increased, so did the steel web’s ultimate load and shear strength, resulting in a positive relationship between the critical shear buckling load of the web and the moment of inertia at the strong axis. When the dimension of the corrugation increases, the moment of inertia of the Y axis (Iy) decreases; thus, the plate girder will fail with a less critical buckling load (Pcr). Also, it can be concluded that as the steel plate thickness of the honeycomb web increases, the shear resistance increases as well. However, the spacing between the intermediate stiffener or the horizontal spacing of the web panel can enhance the shear resistance of honeycomb web girder if it was decreased due to increasing the action of tension field force that resists the diagonal tension developed at the web panel by the applied midspan concentrated force.
Method of information reduction with maintaining measurement accuracy in field-level networks of data collection systems for technological parameters in metallurgical industry3F
Authors: Budkov Sergey 
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to develop a new method of information reduction in data collection systems
of technological parameters implemented on the basis of field-level networks based on the ANSI/TIA/EIA-485 standard to reduce the amount of redundant information generated by secondary converters of measuring instruments based on the readings of primary converters transported in data transmission networks and stored in devices storage. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use a new method of processing initial data at the sampling stage using modified firmware of the built-in microcomputer of the secondary converter of the measuring device. The proposed method is based on selecting such a number of discrete values (reference points) from a set of initial discrete quantities, relative to which it is possible to describe the remaining values in some mathematical way with control of the accuracy of restoring values by calculation at each step, followed by discarding the elements of the series that are not reference points (reduction). In order to verify the described method, there has been developed a way to reduce the redundancy information in field-level networks with maintaining the required measurement accuracy based on linear approximation. The software implementation of the developed way has shown its applicability for data reduction in real-time systems in the stream of conversion of discrete quantities of the original signal. The developed way based on the proposed method provides a significant reduction in the amount of redundant information, the greater the more uniform the changes in the values of the original series. This makes it possible to reduce the number of stored discrete values, reduce the load on network communications of real-time systems, and provide the ability to poll more devices connected to the bus topology field-level network without changing the data exchange rate.
ПЕРЕКЛАДИ ПЕТРА СКУНЦЯ З УГОРСЬКОЇ МОВИ (на матеріалі перекладів поезії Вілмоша Ковача)
Authors: Талабірчук Оксана 
Published: April 2023

Петро Миколайович Скунць належить до когорти тих поетів, творчий талант яких реалізувався і в сфері художнього перекладу. Перекладацькою діяльністю почав займатися з початку 60-х рр. ХХ ст. З-під його пера зʼявилися переклади з 15 різних мов, серед яких чільне місце займають і переклади з угорської мови (В. Ковач, Б. Салаї, З. Дьорке, А. Фодор, Й. Сервац, З. Зелк). Перекладацька спадщина митця перебуває в полі зору літературознавців О. Ігнатович та П. Іванишина, однак детального аналізу перекладів саме з угорської мови здійснено ще не було.
Мета статті полягає в аналізі перекладів поезій закарпатського угорськомовного поета В. Ковача. У розвідці охарактеризовано основні риси творчої діяльності та постаті В. Ковача в контексті літературного процесу Закарпаття 60-70-х рр. ХХ ст.; простежено особливості та труднощі перекладу угорських поезій українською; проаналізовано перекладацькі трансформації, які застосував П. Скунць як перекладач. Обʼєктом дослідження стали вірші «Тиша», «Я собі її хочу, Землю», «Де ти, Єво?» в оригіналі та перекладі. Актуальність статті пояснюється відсутністю комплексно- го дослідження зазначених перекладів, що забезпечує і новизну перекладознавчого аналізу, здійсненого в цій праці.
П. Скунць зумів ввійти у «поетичний світ» автора оригіналу, відчути його інтенції, та практично став ним, при- йнявши його манеру і мову. У перекладі поезії «Тиша» за допомогою різних перекладацьких трансформацій (декомп- ресії, компресії) П. Скунцю вдалося перекласти т. зв. «живі», сповнені емоцій метафори природньо, не втрачаючи їх- ньої образності. У перекладі поезії філософського спрямування «Я собі її хочу, Землю» П. Скунць зберігає всі особли- вості поезії-оригіналу та підбирає влучні еквіваленти. Перекладач вдається до упущень, заміни та перестановок, однак такі дії є вмотивованими, бо змістовий та формальний складник поезії суголосний з оригіналом. Частими є і прийоми тотожного перекладу. У перекладі поезії «Де ти, Єво?» П. Скунць зберігає парне римування та навіть наближається до відтворення особливостей угорської системи віршування. Перекладач настільки тонко відчуває тексти угорськомовних поезій, що йому вдається у перекладах викликати в читача той самий естетичний вплив, який викликають й оригінали.
