Authors: Arafat Prof. Khaled Hussein 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) are the most important crop in New Valley Governorate, Egypt, with approximately two million trees and 60,000 tons of fruit. Date palms in Egyptian conditions are infected with various diseases caused by many soilborne pathogenic fungi, resulting in significant root rot of offshoots and trees. The most virulent fungus recorded in Egypt was Fusarium oxysporum, which caused date palm root rot, followed by F. moniliforme, F. solani, Thielaviopsis paradoxa, Botryodiplodia theobromae and Rhizoctonia solani. The survey, samples collected, disease incidence and severity percent of date palm root rot diseases were conducted in five districts (Kharga, Baris, Balat, Dakhla and Farafra) each with five sites in New Valley Governorate. The highest DI and DS percentages were 42.67 and 14.27% in Dakhla District, while the latest DI and DS percentages were 19.37 and 6.62% in Farafra District. Molecular identification of sixteen pathogenic fungal isolates (including eight fungi first detected on date palms in Egypt) was performed using Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS). The highest pathogenic fungus was Fusarium oxysporum, the last was Marasmius palmivorus. CH-NP was most effective in vitro at 100 ppm, while SiO2 was least effective. The most effective nanoparticle treatment in the greenhouse was CH-NP, while the lowest treatment was ZnO before soil infestation. Although CH-NP was the most effective treatment after soil infestation, SiO2 was the least effective treatment. To our knowledge, this study is the first report of the association of eight new fungi with date palm root diseases in Egypt.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that can cause irreversible joint deformities and bone erosions. Criteria to diagnose RA includs many laboratory tests with variable sensitivity and specificity. Sclerostin, a Wnt inhibitor, could be associated with the reduced bone formation in RA. This study aims to measure sclerostin level and its association with RA and its activity.Materials and methods: This study contained fifty-eight RA cases and thirty controls who were age and sex matched. All laboratory tests were conducted on both groups, including sclerostin which was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The disease activity was assessed using disease activity scores (DAS28).Results: Our results showed that sclerostin levels were significantly higher in RA patients compared to control (p<0.001) but were significantly lower than RA patients with joint deformities (0.026). Sclerostin levels also correlated with CRP (r=0.328, p=0.012), Anti-CCP (r=0.418, p=0.001), tender joint count (r=0.293, p=0.025), and DAS28 (r=0.26, p=0.047). There was not a significant association with other variables such as ESR, and rheumatoid factor. By using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the best cut-off value of sclerostin was 249.69 pg/ml which showed (AUC 0.910, sensitivity 87.9%; specificity 93.3%) and [Odd Ratio (OR) Value & P-value: 102, P< 0.0001].Conclusion: Sclerostin can be used in addition to other parameters to diagnose RA as it was associated with RA with good sensitivity and specificity. It was also associated in early joint destruction and tenderness.

Published: August 2022

Background
Smartphone self-monitoring of mood, symptoms, and contextual factors through ecological momentary assessment (EMA) provides insights into the daily lives of people undergoing psychiatric treatment. Therefore, EMA has the potential to improve their care. To integrate EMA into treatment, a clinical tool that helps clients and clinicians create personalized EMA diaries and interpret the gathered data is needed.

Objective
This study aimed to develop a web-based application for personalized EMA in specialized psychiatric care in close collaboration with all stakeholders (ie, clients, clinicians, researchers, and software developers).

Methods
The participants were 52 clients with mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders and 45 clinicians (psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses). We engaged them in interviews, focus groups, and usability sessions to determine the requirements for an EMA web application and repeatedly obtained feedback on iteratively improved high-fidelity EMA web application prototypes. We used human-centered design principles to determine important requirements for the web application and designed high-fidelity prototypes that were continuously re-evaluated and adapted.

Results
The iterative development process resulted in Personalized Treatment by Real-time Assessment (PETRA), which is a scientifically grounded web application for the integration of personalized EMA in Dutch clinical care. PETRA includes a decision aid to support clients and clinicians with constructing personalized EMA diaries, an EMA diary item repository, an SMS text message–based diary delivery system, and a feedback module for visualizing the gathered EMA data. PETRA is integrated into electronic health record systems to ensure ease of use and sustainable integration in clinical care and adheres to privacy regulations.

Conclusions
PETRA was built to fulfill the needs of clients and clinicians for a user-friendly and personalized EMA tool embedded in routine psychiatric care. PETRA is unique in this codevelopment process, its extensive but user-friendly personalization options, its integration into electronic health record systems, its transdiagnostic focus, and its strong scientific foundation in the design of EMA diaries and feedback. The clinical effectiveness of integrating personalized diaries via PETRA into care requires further research. As such, PETRA paves the way for a systematic investigation of the utility of personalized EMA for routine mental health care.

Authors: Levy Natalie K , Park Agnes , Solis Daniela , Hu Lu , Langford Aisha T , Wang Binhuan , Rogers Erin S 
Published: August 2022

Background
Social determinants of health (SDOH) refer to the social, economic, and psychosocial conditions that influence health. Lower levels of SDOH factors including income, education, and employment are associated with a higher prevalence of diabetes, poorer glycemic control, and increased diabetes-related mortality. Few studies have conducted a comprehensive evaluation of multiple SDOH factors in a population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Objective
This study aimed to identify the range of SDOH challenges—including diabetes-related distress—that impact patients with insulin-dependent diabetes at an urban safety-net clinic using the 5-domain SDOH framework developed by the Healthy People 2020 initiative.

Methods
The pilot study used a cross-sectional, mixed methods approach. Participants were recruited from 3 programs within a general internal medicine clinic that provides ambulatory care for patients with uncontrolled T2DM. We administered an investigator-developed SDOH survey based on the Healthy People 2020 framework and the validated Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS), which assesses 4 domains of diabetes-related distress. One-on-one interviews were conducted to gain in-depth information about challenges.

Results
In total, 57 participants had an average hemoglobin A1c level of 11.0% (SD 2.6%). Overall, 92% (52/57) of participants had a barrier in at least one SDOH domain. SDOH challenges were most commonly reported in the domain of Health and Health Care (84%, 48/57), followed by Economic Stability (54%, n=31), Neighborhood and Built Environment (53%, n=30), Education and Health Literacy (47%, n=27), and Social and Community context (37%, n=21). The mean overall DDS score was 2.09 (SD 0.84), where scores of ≥2 indicate distress. Further, 79% (45/57) of participants had at least moderate diabetes-related distress in one of the 4 DDS domains. General themes that emerged from participant interviews included job interference with healthy behaviors, concerns about burdening others, challenges communicating with providers, and difficulty getting appointments in a timely manner.

Conclusions
We found high levels of SDOH barriers across all 5 domains of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Healthy People 2020 framework, including significant levels of diabetes-related distress. Future programs to address SDOH barriers in patients with uncontrolled insulin-dependent diabetes should consider screening for and focusing on a wide range of challenges.

Arranged Marriages among Young Educated Muslim Women in South Sulawesi Indonesia
Authors: Alfian Andi 
Published: August 2022

Previous studies claimed that arranged marriages occur in underdeveloped societies, among the uneducated and low social classes. However, in Indonesia, especially South Sulawesi, arranged marriages also occur among young educated Muslim women. This study aims to answer why young educated Muslim women accept arranged marriages by their parents or families instead of marrying their boyfriends. This study also elaborated further on the issue of their feelings and experiences, such as feelings after marriage, dating experiences, and the reasons their parents matched them. This study used a postcolonial approach to analyze why young educated Muslim women accept arranged marriages. By conducting in-depth interviews with five young educated Muslim women who have married through the arranged process, this study found several reasons why young educated Muslim women accept arranged marriages, including the family system, religious teachings, economic considerations, and personal reasons that they consciously choose
Repeated Interpretation: a Comparative study of Tafsir Al-Misbah and Kajian Tafsir Al-Misbah on Metro TV
Authors: MZ Ahmad Murtaza , Hidayat M. Riyan , Muhammad Alwi HS  , Idris Ahmad Rifai  
Published: August 2022

Throughout history, the activity of interpreting the Qur’an can be carried out either orally or through writing alone or alltogether, resulting a what so called a repeated interpretation. This article seeks to shed a light on the last mentioned type of commentary that belongs to M. Quraish Shihab, a leading mufassir whose Tafsir Al-Misbah was a reiterpreted on his oral interpretation in the program “Kajian Tafsir Al-Mishbah” on Metro TV. As samples, his commentary on QS. Al-Qalam: 1-7 is chosen. Using a critical content and comparative analysis, this study concluded that the transformation of Shihab’s commentary from written to oral form did happen through several innovations and adjustments, in terms of content and display. Thus, Shihab’s role as a skillfull preacher is still obvious in his writings although the addressed audience then becomes vague. Several factors determine the occurrence of innovation and adjustment of M. Quraish Shihab’s interpretation, namely the role of Quraish Shihab in his written interpretation as originally an exegete turned into a preacher in his oral interpretation. In addition, the context of Tafsir Al-Misbah which is intended for the wider community is different from his oral interpretation with thepresence of audiences in a more specific background.

The city of Blitar, also known as Patria City, was legally established on April 1stÂ , 1906. In its development, the momentum was then declared as Blitar City anniversary. In this city place lies Bung Karno, the Proclaimer, first President of Indonesia, the great ideologist and thinker of the world who is admired by boot Indonesian society and the world community. The city of Blitar is also one of the historic places for the Indonesian Nation, where prior to the proclamation of this place has been called for the independence of Indonesia followed by raising the red and white which then led to PETA rebellion by Sudanco Soeprijadi. Nevertheles, the number of juvenile delinquency jumped high in SMPN 5 Blitar ias a complex school adjacent to school SMPN 3, 5 and 6 often do deviant acts on a daily basis. The acts of deviation referred to here is an act that violates the rules or regulations in school such as smooking, ditching during class hours, and fighting on a daily basis. The method used in this research by using qualitative research approach. The results showed that Bandura, friends who stated that friend have a very big impact on oneâ€™s behaviour because one can learn everything comes from the observation of others (observational learning).
A magnetorheological elastomer based proportional valve for soft pneumatic actuators
Authors: Wang Sihan , He Liang , Albini Alessandro , Zhang Peizhi , Maiolino Perla 
Published: August 2022

The interest in soft pneumatic actuators has been growing rapidly in
robotics, owing to the contact adaptability with the material softness.
However, these actuators are mostly controlled by rigid electronic
pneumatic valves, which can hardly be integrated into the robot itself,
limiting its mobility and adaptability. Recent advances in soft or
electronics-free valve designs provide the potential to achieve an
integrated soft robotic system with reduced weight and rigidity.
Nevertheless, the challenge in valve response remains open. To enable
dynamic control of a soft pneumatic actuator, a fast-response
proportional valve is needed. In this paper, we explored the potential
of Ecoflex-based magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) membrane to create a
proportional valve that can be used in the control of a soft robot made
from the same silicone material. Experimental characterization shows
that the proposed MRE valve (30 mm × 30
mm × 15 mm, 30 grams) can hold pressure up to 41.3 kPa
and regulate the airflow in an analog manner. The valve is used to
perform closed-loop Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) control
with 50 Hz on a soft pneumatic actuator and is able to control the
pressure within the actuator chamber with a root-mean-square error of
0.05 kPa.

Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the concordance between the 2019 ESC Guidelines on diabetes, pre-diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases developed in collaboration with the EASD (ESC/EASD-2019) and the Steno T1 Risk Engine (Steno-Risk) cardiovascular risk scales for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) without cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to analyze the relationships of their use with identification of preclinical atherosclerosis.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We consecutively selected patients with T1D, without CVD, age ≥40 years, with nephropathy, and/or with ≥10 years of T1D evolution with another risk factor. The presence of plaque at different carotid segments was determined by ultrasonography. Cardiovascular risk was estimated in accord with ESC/EASD-2019 risk groups (moderate/high/very high) and the Steno-Risk (&lt;10%, low; 10–20%, moderate; ≥20%, high), as T1D-specific scores. In an exploratory analysis, we also evaluated the non-T1D-specific 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk (ACC/AHA-2013) pooled cohort equation for individuals between 40 and 79 years of age.

RESULTS
We included 501 patients (53% men, mean age 48.8 years, median T1D duration 26.5 years, 41.3% harboring plaques). Concordance between T1D-specific scales was poor (κ = 0.19). A stepped increase in the presence of plaques according to Steno-Risk category was seen (18.4%, 38.2%, and 64.1%, for low, moderate, and high risk, respectively; P for trend &lt;0.001), with no differences according to ESC/EASD-2019 (P = 0.130). Steno-Risk identified individuals with plaques, unlike ESC/EASD-2019 (area under the curve [AUC] 0.691, P &lt; 0.001, vs. AUC 0.538, P = 0.149). Finally, in polynomial regression models (with adjustment for lipid parameters and cardioprotective treatment), irrespective of the ESC/EASD-2019 category, high risk by Steno-Risk was directly associated with atherosclerosis (in moderate/high-risk by ESC/EASD-2019 odds ratio 2.91 [95% CI 1.27–6.72] and 4.94 [2.35–10.40] for the presence of plaque and two or more plaques). Similar results were obtained with discordant higher Steno-Risk versus ACC/AHA-2013 (P &lt; 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Among T1D patients undergoing primary prevention, use of Steno-Risk seems to result in better recognition of individuals with atherosclerosis in comparison with ESC/EASD-2019. Notwithstanding, carotid ultrasound could improve the categorization of cardiovascular risk.

Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVE
To examine the association between microvascular disease (MVD) and risk of heart failure (HF) among individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We included 1,713 and 28,624 participants with T1DM and T2DM, respectively, from the UK Biobank who were free of HF during enrollment. MVD burden reflected by the presence of retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) at baseline was prospectively evaluated for the association with incidence of HF. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of HF were estimated by Cox regression models adjusted for multiple traditional risk factors.

RESULTS
There were 145 and 2,515 incident cases of HF recorded among participants with T1DM and T2DM, respectively, during a median follow-up of 11.5 years. The association between the number of MVD and HF was stronger among participants with T1DM than among those with T2DM (P for interaction &lt;0.001). Compared with participants with no MVD, those with all three MVD had an adjusted HR (95% CI) of 11.37 (5.62, 22.99) in T1DM and 3.66 (2.74, 4.88) in T2DM. In T1DM, HRs (CIs) were 2.69 (1.75, 4.14) for retinopathy, 2.11 (1.38, 3.23) for peripheral neuropathy, and 2.21 (1.53, 3.18) for CKD. The corresponding estimates in T2DM were 1.24 (1.13, 1.36), 1.63 (1.36, 1.96), and 1.73 (1.59, 1.89), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
While a heavier burden of MVD was associated with excess risk of HF both in T1DM and T2DM, the association was evidently more pronounced in T1DM.
