Abstract
Disparities in access to water, sanitation, and hygiene within high-income countries are common and often occur across racial/ethnic lines. The Arab-Bedouins in Israel, a formerly nomadic ethno-national minority, have experienced displacement, forced sedentarization, and poverty since Israel was founded. Land disputes with the government have led to precarious living arrangements, including unrecognized villages that the government considers illegal. We administered a structured questionnaire in one government-planned, two legally recognized, and two unrecognized Bedouin communities in the Negev (190 households). Only 44% (95% CI 37%, 51%) of households had access to both safely managed drinking water and sanitation; nationally Israel reports over 99% coverage for each. In one unrecognized village, only 15% of households had access to safely managed water and sanitation, comparable to low-income countries. The overall 1-week prevalence of diarrhea in children under 5 years of age was 22% (95% CI 17%, 27%), with substantial variation between communities. These results highlight that universal access to safely managed drinking water and sanitation remains a relevant goal, not only for low- and middle-income countries but for high-income countries. Bedouin communities in the Negev are a prime example, emphasizing that historic gains in global development have not uniformly reached marginalized groups within high-income countries.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
This research examines the performance of two commercially available point-of-use (POU) microfiltration membrane filters (MF) under hydrated (wet) versus a multi-day dry period (dehydrated). Filter performance is monitored in terms of water quality and flowrate, as well as flowrate recovery following different cleaning regimes. The cleaning methods tested were backwashing with filtrate at room temperature, filtrate heated to 45 °C, filtrate at 45 °C with gentle shaking, and a vinegar solution (5% acetic acid). The selected cleaning methods reflect easily accessible cleaning methods with a goal to assess their impacts on flowrate recovery under both wet and dry conditions. After initial testing, hydrated MF flowrate varied between 197 ± 22 mL/min and backwashing with filtrate at room temperature was sufficient to maintain the membrane flowrate, while any of the other methods initially improved the system flowrate. In experiments where the filters were subject to a 5-day dry condition MF flowrates dropped to 65 ± 35 mL/min and filtrate at room temperature did not recover the flowrate sufficiently, however heated filtrate (45 °C) with/without gentle shaking was effective at recovering the MF for use. Water quality remained similar throughout the study, and 0 CFU/mL of E. coli were found in filtrate samples.

Authors: Hong Chengang , Wang Liping 
Published: August 2023

Background
Nursing professional skills training has undergone significant transformation due to the exponential growth of computer and medical technology. The innovative use of virtual reality (VR) in nursing education has emerged as a cutting-edge technical support technique that has gained attention as a highly effective method for improving nurse training quality.

Objective
This study aims to review the current status of VR technology in nursing professional skills training, research hotspots, and emerging trends in the last 15 years.

Methods
The Web of Science Core Collection database was used to search for literature on VR technology in nursing professional skills training covering the period from 2006 to 2022. Biblioshiny (K-Synth Srl) was used to import and convert the records to Bibliometrix (K-Synth Srl) for analysis, and R (R Core Team) was used for descriptive bibliometric analysis. VOSviewer (Leiden University) was used to cluster co-occurring keywords, and Scimago Graphica (version 1.0.16; Scimago Lab) was used to generate a geographical visualization of published countries and regions.

Results
A total of 1073 papers were analyzed, indicating a surge in research on the application of VR in nursing professional skills training in recent years, as evidenced by a positive trend in annual publication of relevant literature. The majority of studies were from the United States (n=340) and Canada (n=107), and Margaret Verkuyl was the most prolific author, leading the way with 9 publications. Furthermore, “Computerized Virtual Patients in Health Professions Education: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” was the most frequently cited reference. Keywords such as education, simulation, skills, students, and care were most commonly used by researchers.

Conclusions
The bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the use of VR in nursing professional skills training, indicating that VR-based training is an effective means of improving the skills and competencies of nursing students and professionals alike. The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of developing VR-based distance education, despite challenges such as integrating virtual and real-world training and mitigating safety risks.

Published: August 2023

Background
Digital health care apps have been widely used for managing chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension, providing promising prospects for enhanced health care delivery, increased patient engagement, and improved self-management. However, the impact of integrating these apps within hospital systems for managing such conditions still lacks conclusive evidence.

Objective
We aimed to investigate the real-world effectiveness of using hospital-linked digital health care apps in lowering blood pressure (BP) and blood glucose levels in patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Methods
Nationwide multicenter data on demographic characteristics and the use of a digital health care app from 233 hospitals were collected for participants aged 20 to 80 years in South Korea between August 2021 and June 2022. We divided the participants into 2 groups: 1 group consisted of individuals who exclusively used the digital health app (control) and the other group used the hospital-linked digital health app. All the patients participated in a 12-week digital health care intervention. We conducted a comparative analysis to assess the real-world effectiveness of the hospital-linked digital health app. The primary outcome was the differences in the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG) level, and postprandial glucose (PPG) level between baseline and 12 weeks.

Results
A total of 1029 participants were analyzed for the FBG level, 527 participants were analyzed for the PPG level, and 2029 participants for the SBP and DBP were enrolled. After 12 weeks, a hospital-linked digital health app was found to reduce SBP (−5.4 mm Hg, 95% CI −7.0 to −3.9) and DBP (−2.4 mm Hg, 95% CI −3.4 to −1.4) in participants without hypertension and FBG level in all participants (those without diabetes, −4.4 mg/dL, 95% CI −7.9 to −1.0 and those with diabetes, −3.2 mg/dL, 95% CI −5.4 to −1.0); however, there was no statistically significant difference compared to the control group (using only digital health app). Specifically, participants with diabetes using a hospital-linked digital health app demonstrated a significant decrease in PPG after 12 weeks (−10.9 mg/dL, 95% CI −31.1 to −5.3) compared to those using only a digital health app (P=.006).

Conclusions
Hospital-linked digital interventions have greatly improved glucose control for diabetes compared with using digital health technology only. These hospital-linked digital health apps have the potential to offer consumers and health care professionals cost-effective support in decreasing glucose levels when used in conjunction with self-monitoring.

Effect of Variation yeast addition and Duration of Fermentation on the Amount of Ethanol Produced from Sawdust of Ulin Wood (Eusideroxylon zwageri T et B)The research was aimed to assess the influence of different levels of yeast addition and duration of fermentation on the amount and percentage of ethanol produced from sawdust of ulin wood as raw material.Method used in this experiment was chemical hydrolysis of cellulose by using nitric acid (HNO3) as chemical agent. This substrate was inoculated into yeast cell (khamir) to convert glucose into ethanol. The amount of ethanol (ml) was obtained from distilled water (ml) multiplied by the azeotropic value of ethanol (95,5%), while the value ethanol (%) obtained was from the amount of ethanol (ml) divided by the amount of distilled water (ml) multiplied by 100 percent.The study used a factorial design of 3 x 3 with 3 replications and the parameters used were A factor (amount of yeast) consisting of 5, 10, and 15 grams, respectively, and B factor (duration of fermentation) consisting of 1, 3, and 5 days, respectively. Significant differences of ANOVA at test levels of 5% and 1% will be continued by interaction test between the two factors to assess the influence of each factor on the amount and percentage of ethanol.Results indicated that the amount of yeast applied, duration of fermentation and interaction between the two gave very significant effects on the amount of ethanol (ml) and its percentage (%). Following the treatment on ulin wood sawdust, the lowest yield of ethanol was found at A1B1 treatment (5 g, 1 day) with. 1.69 ml, while the highest at A3B3 treatment (15 g, 5 day) with 5.19 ml. In terms of ethanol percentage, the lowest was found at A1B1 treatment with 9.4% and the highest at A3B2 treatment with 29.9%.

Reportaje fotográfico. La cerámica es el arte que utiliza uno de los elementos primordiales de la vida de los seres humanos: la tierra. Tocarla cuando está seca, amasarla cuando está húmeda, acariciarla, sentir cómo inunda las manos y, al mismo tiempo, se resbala por entre los dedos es una experiencia que nos acerca a la creación. No en vano las dos tradiciones de las que venimos nos hablan de seres que fueron creados a partir de la arcilla o de la masa de maíz.
