The impact of surgery on self-reported metamorphopsia and vision-related quality of life in patients with an idiopathic full-thickness macular hole
Authors: Bhatti Muhammad Tayyab , Sandinha Maria Teresa 
Published: December 2022

Background:Metamorphopsia (distorted vision) is among the most common symptoms reported by patients with idiopathic full thickness macular hole (iFTMH) and is related to significant deterioration in Vision-Related Quality-of-Life (VRQoL). Surgical closure with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is the chief determinant of visual acuity postoperatively, but the extent of visual improvement is variable. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of surgery on the self-reported prevalence and severity of metamorphopsia and the VRQoL in patients with an iFTMH. Methods: Prospective consecutive case series study. The Metamorphopsia Questionnaire (MeMoQ) and the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire - 39 (VFQ-39; assesses the VRQoL) were completed by patients before and three months post-PPV for iFTMH. The pre- and post-operative presence and severity of metamorphopsia was highlighted through a severity scale with a maximum of 9 points for the 9 questions in the MeMoQ. Responses for the VFQ-39 were categorised into subscales as per the VFQ-39 guidance. Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed for each subscale to identify subscales with a statistically significant improvement post-PPV. Results: 30 patients: 9 male, 21 female. Age range 47-82 y/o. Operated between August 2019 - December 2020 at St Paul’s Eye Unit, Liverpool. There was a statistically significant improvement of metamorphopsia (P<0.05) following surgery, with a mean reduction in severity of 2.18 points. In the VFQ-25, a statistically significant improvement (P<0.05) was seen in the following subscales; general vision, near activities, distance activities, social functioning, mental health, role difficulties, dependency, driving and peripheral vision. Discussion: This study highlights the significant improvement of metamorphopsia associated with an improvement in vision in patient who underwent vitrectomy for FTMH. The significant improvement in the mental health is particularly interesting in this COVID era where patients are susceptible to an increased risk of mental health deterioration.

Published: December 2022

Entre los factores bióticos con habilidad para degradar la madera se encuentran los hongos xilófagos. Estos organismos se clasifican según las preferencias de sustrato de crecimiento y sus patrones de descomposición de la madera; sobresaliendo aquellos causantes de las podredumbres blanca y parda o marrón. La principal diferencia entre ellos reside en su mecanismo de degradación, pues la podredumbre blanca se basa en la hidrólisis enzimática; mientras que la podredumbre marrón realiza una modificación de la lignina mediante la química de Fenton y especies reactivas de oxígeno, para llevar a cabo una posterior hidrólisis enzimática. Tanto la pudrición blanca como la parda poseen valiosas aplicaciones biotecnológicas en cuanto a biorremediación. Entre ellas sobresalen el manejo de desechos, degradación de químicos persistentes en el ambiente, remoción de metales tóxicos, entre otros.
Legal Protection for Unregistered Clothing Design on Marketplace: Comparison Between the Indonesian and the UK Law
Authors: Sari Nuzulia Kumala , Zulaika Emi , Devayanti Rania 
Published: December 2022

The industrial design protection system in Indonesia uses registration requirements, without registration, there is no protection. This is in contrast to the UK’s existing industrial design protection system, where the UK implements two protection systems, namely the registered design right or unregistered design right. This unregistered protection system is used in products that do not last long on the market such as fashion products and as an alternative for companies to test design prospects on the market. Unregistered protection systems are also used as design protection alternatives to prevent copying or plagiarizing of designs that do not yet have registration numbers. This article will discuss the following issues: 1) The legal protection of Korean pop idol clothing designs is reviewed based on Indonesian and English laws; and 2) The urgency of legal novelty in the industrial design law in Indonesia. In this study, the legal research method used is normative legal research with an approach through statutory regulations, a conceptual approach, and a comparative approach. The legal materials used are primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. The conclusion is that the industrial design protection system in Indonesia still has to go through the registration process, this is irrelevant to products or goods that cannot last long in the market because trends change easily. This is different from that in the UK where it implements an unregistered design right system where industrial design rights are obtained automatically.

Building Indigenous knowledge: Exploring the Pedagogy of Māori knowledge in the Digital Computing Information Technology Tertiary Sector of New Zealand
Authors: Te Momo Hamiora 
Published: December 2022

In 2021, Computing Information Technology Research and Education New Zealand (CITRENZ, 2021) held a conference for academics to explore information technology in a changing world. It provided a platform for those academics that teach in this industry a forum to discuss knowledge transfer and teaching practices. A workshop on “Mātauranga Māori in Information Technology,” which is a specialised type of expertise that continues to be in its infancy was presented. Mātauranga Māori in academia is a body of Indigenous Māori knowledge passed down from generation to generation, stretching back to te ao marama, the creation of the world (Sadler, 2007). Therefore, the depth of Mātauranga Māori is embedded in the earth and waters that cover the lands (Royal, 1998). Exploring ways to transfer this type of knowledge to a classroom or global online environment for Information Technology is a new type of pedagogy.
Building the academic capacity of people and academic programmes in Information Technology that supports Mātauranga Māori is pioneering for Indigenous academics. Navigating this pathway in the tertiary sector is delegated many times to the Indigenous academic to take leadership in this discipline. It also becomes a challenge for the Indigenous academic to retain leadership in these areas when these topics become globally attractive, like Cyber Security, where the representation of Indigenous experts are scarce in this industry and the outcome is that knowledge transfer tends to be the responsibility of the non-Indigenous academics to lead capacity building initiatives. This article discusses five key issues: 1) programmes in the Digital Computing Information Technology sector; 2) Mātauranga Māori in Information Technology; 3) the pedagogy of teaching and delivery; 4) Indigenous leadership in this sector; and 5) capacity building initiatives. It draws heavily from the literature and experience of those academics who work in the Institute of Technology and Polytechnics in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Modelos teóricos del disconfort y confort y el uso de técnicas para su valoración durante el uso de asientos en actividades sedentes estáticas: Una revisión de la literatura
Authors: Rodríguez Rojas Richard Raitt 
Published: December 2022

El Confort y Disconfort (en adelante Dis/Confort) es un aspecto del bienestar humano de interés para la ergonomía, dado que surge de la interacción del hombre con su entorno, y sirve de indicador para optimizar diseños cada vez más adecuados para el uso humano. Objetivo: El presente artículo tuvo por objetivo realizar una revisión bibliográfica del Dis/Confort durante la sedestación, describiendo los principales modelos teóricos elaborados y las técnicas más usadas para su valoración. Materiales y métodos: Para llevar a cabo la revisión, se utilizó la base de datos SCOPUS y Web Of Science ingresando en el motor de búsqueda diferentes combinaciones de las palabras “comfort”, “discomfort”, “musculoskeletal”, “seat”, “sitting”, “chair” y “ergonomics”. Resultados: Se identificaron modelos teóricos que intentan desarrollar el concepto de Dis/Confort y otros que proponen mecanismos explicativos del mismo; sin embargo, se observó consenso en que el Dis/Confort es un fenómeno subjetivo producto de la interacción hombre – entorno, y que la tendencia es desarrollar modelos cada vez más integrales que incluyan a la persona, al producto, las tareas, el ambiente y la organización. Las técnicas de valoración subjetiva incluyen cuestionarios y entrevistas, mientras que las objetivas incluyen la medición de la presión de interfaz, la postura, electromiografía de superficie, movimientos involuntarios, entre otros. Conclusiones: Se considera que los modelos pueden servir de base para investigaciones en otros contextos. Las técnicas de valoraciónes subjetivas y objetivas no deben ser autoexcluyentes, sino complementarias, en busca de una compresión integral bajo un enfoque de ergonomía participativa.

Published: December 2022

Aim:
Studies on cancer and work life have shown that an increasing number of cancer survivors were able to return to work after their treatment. Many factors associated with employment and impaired work ability were defined. Nevertheless, rare studies evaluated the job satisfaction of the employees. This pilot study aims to evaluate the job satisfaction levels and factors affecting
job satisfaction of cancer survivors.
Material and Method:
The study was designed as a cross-sectional survey in a university hospital. The short-form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) Turkish version was administered during face-to-face interviews to the cancer survivors in complete remission who had returned to work after their treatment. The SPSS 15 for Windows was used for the analyses.
Results:
Sixty patients were evaluated. The Median MSQ score of the study population was 74 (22-95). Low MSQ score in 1 (1.7%), intermediate MSQ scores in 30 (50%) and high MSQ scores in 29 (48.3%) patients were recorded. The analysis of factors associated with MSQ scores showed that high school/university education patients were less satisfied with their jobs. There was no statistically significant difference in the analysis of sex, marital status, residence, duration of disease, and treatment modalities. The analysis of patients' subjective satisfaction with jobs showed that 6 (10%) patients were not satisfied before the disease process, and 13 (21.7%) patients were not satisfied after returning to work. Patients who returned to the same workplace were more satisfied [75 (29-95) vs. 64 (22-78) vs., p=0.03] than those who changed workplaces. Patients who had subjectively better/similar working conditions after returning to work were more satisfied than those who had worse [75 (38-95) vs. 58 (22-83), p=0.03]. Multivariate analysis revealed that high school/university education [OR=0.115 (0.022-0.601), p= 0.010] was independently associated with worse job satisfaction.

Conclusion:
It was determined that the cancer survivors experienced moderate levels of job satisfaction. Cancer survivors with various types of cancer have different individual physical and emotional characteristics that influence their decision to return to work.

Objectives. To propose a novel Bayesian spatial–temporal approach to identify and quantify severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing disparities for small area estimation.Methods. In step 1, we used a Bayesian inseparable space–time model framework to estimate the testing positivity rate (TPR) at geographically granular areas of the census block groups (CBGs). In step 2, we adopted a rank-based approach to compare the estimated TPR and the testing rate to identify areas with testing deficiency and quantify the number of needed tests. We used weekly SARS-CoV-2 infection and testing surveillance data from Cameron County, Texas, between March 2020 and February 2022 to demonstrate the usefulness of our proposed approach.Results. We identified the CBGs that had experienced substantial testing deficiency, quantified the number of tests that should have been conducted in these areas, and evaluated the short- and long-term testing disparities.Conclusions. Our proposed analytical framework offers policymakers and public health practitioners a tool for understanding SARS-CoV-2 testing disparities in geographically small communities. It could also aid COVID-19 response planning and inform intervention programs to improve goal setting and strategy implementation in SARS-CoV-2 testing uptake.

Comprehensive Experimental Study on the Gas Breakthrough Pressure and Its Implication for the Reservoir Performance
Authors: Zhang Hengrong , Xiao Lizhi , Wang Min , Ge Xinmin , Hu Xiangyang , Tan Wei 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
It is challenging to interpret the gas breakthrough mechanisms, controlling factors, and its relationships with the reservoir parameters for unconventional reservoirs such as the gas shale, due to the accumulation characteristics of source-reservoir integration. Take the typical marine shale gas of the B field for example, we use the step-by-step (SBS) test to measure the gas breakthrough pressure of the water saturated shales, and investigate the influential factors such as the pore size distribution, mineral composition, and organic geochemical properties. Moreover, the implication of the gas breakthrough capability for the reservoir quality such as the porosity, permeability, the gas content, and the gas occurrence state are addressed. Based on our work, it is observed that the gas breakthrough capability in shale is influenced by many factors. Generally, the gas breakthrough pressure is positively with the amount of ductile minerals such as the clay and the plagioclase, but negatively with the amount of brittle minerals such as the quartz. In addition, the gas breakthrough pressure is decreased with the increase of the pore radius and the specific surface areas. What is more, the influences of geochemical properties on the gas breakthrough capability should not be neglected. Due to the development of organic pores in the kerogen, the gas breakthrough pressure is found to decrease with the increase of the total organic carbon content (TOC) and the residual carbon content (RC). The breakthrough pressure can be used as the significant parameter to indicate the reservoir quality of the shale gas. It is shown that the breakthrough pressure is inversely with the porosity, permeability, the total gas content, and the adsorbed gas content. It is practical and meaningful to measure and estimate the breakthrough pressure for the formation evaluation in shale gas reservoirs.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background: Prescribing medications without potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) is one of the components of the rational use of medications. However, taking combined medications has resulted in life-threatening pDDIs, which are causing severe clinical outcomes for patients. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of pDDIs and associated factors in admitted patients with psychiatric disorders.
Methods: An institution-based multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with psychiatric disorders admitted to a selected hospital in Northwest Ethiopia. Samples were approached through a systematic sampling method. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 was used to analyze the data. Logistic regression was applied to determine the association of variables with pDDIs. A p-value of < 0.05 was statistically significant.
Results: Out of 325 study participants, more than half (52.9%) were females, with a median age of 61 years. Overall, more than two-thirds (68.9%) were exposed to at least one clinically significant, either moderate or major level of pDDIs. Nearly one-fourth (23.2%) of participants had at least one major level of pDDIs. Older patients were found more likely to have pDDIs compared to younger patients (p = 0.043). Similarly, patients with a higher number of prescribed medications (p = 0.001) and patients with longer hospital admissions (p = 0.004) were found more likely to be exposed to pDDIs than their counterparts.
Conclusion: In this study, a significant number of admitted patients with psychiatric problems encountered clinically significant pDDIs. As a result, healthcare providers could assess and follow patients with a combination of medications that potentially have a drug-drug interaction outcome.
