Product Ranking in the Presence of Social Learning
Authors: Maglaras Costis , Scarsini Marco , Shin Dongwook , Vaccari Stefano 
Published: September 2022

Optimal Policies for Online Platforms When Social Learning Occurs Before buying products online, consumers read the reviews written by the previous customers. If they buy the product, they write a review themselves. When the product is of unknown quality, consumers learn it over time; that is, social learning occurs. If consumers have various purchase options of similar products of different brands, the platform that they use may affect this social learning by choosing the order in which the products appear on its website. In “Product Ranking in the Presence of Social Learning,” Maglaras, Scarsini, Shin, and Vaccari compare various policies that the platform may adopt, with the goal of maximizing its revenue collected from commission fees for sold items. The criterion to compare the policies is the worst-case regret with respect to a fully informed platform benchmark.

Published: September 2022

Background/AimsCoronary artery bypass graft surgery requires specialised long-term follow up, and non-adherence to a care plan may lead to complications. This study aimed to assess the effects of SMS reminders on adherence to medication and care plans among patients who had been discharged from hospital after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.MethodsA randomised controlled trial was performed in Iran, with eligible patients divided into an intervention (n=40) and a control (n=40) group. All participants completed a questionnaire measuring their adherence to their medication and care plan 1 day before discharge from the hospital. The intervention group received SMS reminders about their treatment plan plus routine care, while the control group received routine care only. The study lasted for 6 weeks. One week after the completion of the intervention period, both groups filled in the questionnaire again and the results were compared. Independent and paired t-tests were used to assess the significance of results.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups before the intervention. Compared to baseline, the intervention group had significantly improved adherence to their medication and care plans (P<0.001) after the intervention. These improvements were significantly greater than those seen in the control group (P<0.001).ConclusionsAn SMS reminder is a useful and cost-effective way to improve adherence to medication and care plans among patients discharged from hospital after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, as part of follow-up care.

Abstract
Research related to the developmental disability (DD) community should include collaboration with individuals with DD. Unfortunately, people with DD are infrequently involved in research projects in meaningful ways, and there is little guidance about how to collaborate equitably with researchers with DD. The purpose of this article is to share lessons learned from a collaborative research study among researchers with and without DD using both qualitative and quantitative methods to develop and examine the effectiveness of a civic engagement intervention for transition-aged youth with disabilities. It includes how our research team compensated researchers with DD, clarified team member roles, leveraged the expertise of researchers with DD in using both qualitative and quantitative methods, and integrated technology throughout the research process.

Published: September 2022

Background
Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires lifelong medical treatment and lifestyle modifications. Even though patients often neglect their own needs, self-care is an important factor in preventing and delaying complications related to diabetes. There are limited studies about self-care practice, and most of the studies conducted in Ethiopia focused on some parts of the recommended self-care practice. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the self-care practice and associated factors among diabetic patients in Gurage zone, south Ethiopia.

Methods
An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February 6 to March 29, 2021. A systematic sampling method was employed to select 420 study participants. The data were collected using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire. All variables with P < 0.25 in the bi-variable logistic regression analysis were entered into multivariable logistic regression analysis. The statistical significance was declared at a p-value < 0.05.

Results
A total of 384 diabetes patients participated with a response rate of 91.4%. This study showed that more than half (60.4%) of the study participants had poor self-care practices. Being female (AOR: 2.40; 95% CI:1.31–4.40), rural residence (AOR:7.16;95% CI: 3.31–15.46), duration of diabetes treatment 5–10 years (AOR: 0.03; 95% CI: 0.1–0.11), duration of diabetes treatment ≥ 10 years (AOR:0.8; 95% CI: 0.03–0.21), haven’t social support (AOR: 0.10; 95% CI: 0.05–0.23), haven’t got health education (AOR: 0.17,95%CI 0.09–0.32) were factors significantly associated with self-care practice.

Conclusions
Despite, the importance of diabetes self-care practice for the management of diabetes and preventing its complications, a high number of diabetes patients had poor self-care practices. Female, rural residence, duration of diabetes mellitus, lack of social support, and not get of health education were significantly associated with poor self-care practice. Therefore, health care providers should give attention to diabetic patients with the aforementioned factors that affect diabetic patients’ self-care practices.

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted healthcare delivery and patient outcomes globally.

Aims
We aimed to evaluate the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the temporal trends and outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Michigan.

Methods
We compared all patients undergoing PCI in the BMC2 Registry between March and December 2020 (“pandemic cohort”) with those undergoing PCI between March and December 2019 (“pre-pandemic cohort”). A risk-adjusted analysis of in-hospital outcomes was performed between the pre-pandemic and pandemic cohort. A subgroup analysis was performed comparing COVID-19 positive vs. negative patients during the pandemic.

Results
There was a 15.2% reduction in overall PCI volume from the pre-pandemic (n = 25,737) to the pandemic cohort (n = 21,822), which was more pronounced for stable angina and non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS) presentations, and between February and May 2020. Patients in the two cohorts had similar clinical and procedural characteristics. Monthly mortality rates for primary PCI were generally higher in the pandemic period. There were no significant system delays in care between the cohorts. Risk-adjusted mortality was higher in the pandemic cohort (aOR 1.26, 95% CI 1.07–1.47, p = 0.005), a finding that was only partially explained by worse outcomes in COVID-19 patients and was more pronounced in subjects with ACS. During the pandemic, COVID-19 positive patients suffered higher risk-adjusted mortality (aOR 5.69, 95% CI 2.54–12.74, p<0.001) compared with COVID negative patients.

Conclusions
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we observed a reduction in PCI volumes and higher risk-adjusted mortality. COVID-19 positive patients experienced significantly worse outcomes.

Published: September 2022

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus is a growing worldwide health challenge especially in sub-Saharan Africa. While the use and effectiveness of diabetes self-management interventions is well documented in high-income countries, little information exists in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this study attempted to synthesize information in the literature on the use and efficacy of peer support and social networking in diabetes self-management in Kenya and Uganda.ObjectiveThe purpose of this scoping review is to summarize research on the extent of use and efficacy of peer support and social networking interventions in diabetes self-management in Kenya and Uganda.DesignWe searched PubMed, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library databases for articles reporting peer support and social networking interventions in Kenya and Uganda published in English between 2000 and September 2021. Key words encapsulated three major themes: peer support, social networking and self-management. Hand searches were also conducted to select eligible papers. Data was extracted using a form prepared and piloted in line with PRISMA-ScR guidelines.ResultsThirteen peer reviewed articles were selected for analysis. Eleven studies reported peer support interventions while two focused on social networks in diabetes self-management. Peer support and social networking interventions incorporated microfinance and group medical visits, diabetes self-management education, telephone support and Medication Adherence Clubs. Most interventions were delivered by multidisciplinary teams comprising nurses and other professionals, peer educators, peer leaders and community health workers. Most interventions were effective and led to improvements in HbA1c and blood pressure, eating behaviors and physical activity and social support.ConclusionsThe limited studies available show that peer support and social networking interventions have mixed results on health and other outcomes. Importantly, most studies reported significant improvements in clinical outcomes. Further research is needed on the nature and mechanisms through which peer support and social network characteristics affect health outcomes.

Purpose
To evaluate the prognostic value of pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT after consolidation therapy of 131I-rituximab in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who had acquired complete remission after receiving chemotherapy.

Methods
Patients who were diagnosed with DLBCL via histologic confirmation were retrospectively reviewed. All patients had achieved complete remission after 6 to 8 cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisolone) chemotherapy after which they underwent consolidation treatment with 131I-rituximab. 18F-FDG PET/CT scans were performed before R-CHOP for initial staging. The largest diameter of tumor, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were obtained from pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT scans. Receiver-operating characteristic curves analysis was introduced for assessing the optimal criteria. Kaplan-Meier curve survival analysis was performed to evaluate both relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).

Results
A total of 15 patients (12 males and 3 females) with a mean age of 56 (range, 30–73) years were enrolled. The median follow-up period of these patients was 73 months (range, 11–108 months). Four (27%) patients relapsed. Of them, three died during follow-up. Median values of the largest tumor size, highest SUVmax, MTV, and TLG were 5.3 cm (range, 2.0–16.4 cm), 20.2 (range, 11.1–67.4), 231.51 (range, 15–38.34), and 1277.95 (range, 238.37–10341.04), respectively. Patients with SUVmax less than or equal to 16.9 showed significantly worse RFS than patients with SUVmax greater than 16.9 (5-year RFS rate: 60% vs. 100%, p = 0.008). Patients with SUVmax less than or equal to 16.9 showed significantly worse OS than patients with SUVmax greater than 16.9 (5-year OS rate: 80% vs. 100% p = 0.042).

Conclusion
Higher SUVmax at pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT was associated with better relapse free survival and overall survival in DLBCL patients after consolidation therapy with 131I-rituximab. However, because this study has a small number of patients, a phase 3 study with a larger number of patients is needed for clinical application in the future.

BackgroundPassive immunotherapy has been evaluated as a therapeutic alternative for patients with COVID-19 disease. Equine polyclonal immunotherapy for COVID-19 (EPIC) showed adequate safety and potential efficacy in a clinical trial setting and obtained emergency use authorization in Argentina. We studied its utility in a real world setting with a larger population.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study at “Hospital de Campaña Escuela-Hogar" (HCEH) in Corrientes, Argentina, to assess safety and effectiveness of EPIC in hospitalized adults with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Primary endpoints were 28-days all-cause mortality and safety. Mortality and improvement in modified WHO clinical scale at 14 and 21 days were secondary endpoints. Potential confounder adjustment was made by logistic regression weighted by the inverse of the probability of receiving the treatment (IPTW) and doubly robust approach.FindingsSubsequent clinical records of 446 non-exposed (Controls) and 395 exposed (EPIC) patients admitted between November 2020 and April 2021 were analyzed. Median age was 58 years and 56.8% were males. Mortality at 28 days was 15.7% (EPIC) vs. 21.5% (Control). After IPTW adjustment the OR was 0.66 (95% CI: 0.46–0.96) P = 0.03. The effect was more evident in the subgroup who received two EPIC doses (complete treatment, n = 379), OR 0.58 (95% CI 0.39 to 0.85) P = 0.005. Overall and serious adverse events were not significantly different between groups.ConclusionsIn this retrospective cohort study, EPIC showed adequate safety and effectiveness in the treatment of hospitalized patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 disease.
Hypoglycemic events and glycemic control effects between NPH and premixed insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A real-world experience at a comprehensive specialized hospital in Ethiopia
Authors: Sendekie Ashenafi Kibret , Netere Adeladlew Kassie , Belachew Eyayaw Ashete 
Published: September 2022

Background
Though initiation of insulin results in a significant change in glycemic levels, treating patients without significant hypoglycemic events remains difficult in diabetes patients initiated with different insulin-based regimens. This study assessed the association of hypoglycemic incidence and glycemic control between NPH and premixed insulin regimens in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods
This was a retrospective observational study in patients with T2DM who were treated with insulin-based therapy from 2015 to 2020 at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized hospital. Average fasting blood glucose (FBG) between NPH and premixed insulin regimens was compared using an independent t-test. The Association of NPH and premixed insulin regimens with hypoglycemic incidences and glycemic control was examined by a logistic regression model. P < 0.05 was statistically significant.

Results
From 405 participants, more than half (55.3%) were males with a mean age of 59.2(±9.1) years. Baseline mean HbA1C and FBG levels were 12.73(±1.1) % and 347.7(±48.5) mg/dl, respectively. Within a one-year follow-up period of insulin initiation, the rate of hypoglycemia was 13.1%. The incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly higher in patients initiated with premixed insulin compared with NPH insulin regimens (P < 0.001). After one year of insulin initiation, HbA1C decreased from 12.7 to 7.6 and from 12.8 to 7.3% and FBG levels decreased from 347.5 to 160.7 and from 348.2 to 147.3 mg/dl following initiation of NPH and premixed insulin, respectively. Patients treated with premixed-based insulin were found more likely to achieve target FBG compared with patients treated with NPH insulin regimens after one year of initiation (P = 0.02).

Conclusion
Premixed insulin-based regimen has found to have a higher hypoglycemic incidence, but a better level of glycemic control compared to NPH insulin-based therapy. Therefore, patients initiated with premixed insulin need to be highly vigilant and motivated to recognize the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Fred Rogers and Environmental Wisdom
Authors: Lindey Sara , King Jason 
Published: September 2022

The conclusion looks to children’s environmental wisdom, combining his ecological imagination with practical application. Rogers presents a world where children learn why and how to care for creation and so have the foundation to become adults who act for the good of the environment. Yet, Rogers insists on protecting children while preparing them. Thus, in greater measure, Rogers’ program attends to the caretakers watching and learning alongside the children. Rogers reminds parents of their capabilities and responsibilities, assuring us all that we, too, are lovable and capable of loving, and all but demanding that we get busy on the work we have to do.
A “Nouvelle Métaphysique Thomiste” or Simply Neo-Cayetanism?
Authors: Serra Pérez Manuel Alejandro 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
For one of the current scholars of Thomism, Serge T. Bonino, research on Thomas Aquinas’ philosophy of being has polarized into two tendencies, the axis of which is the Dominican Thomistic school. One of them is represented by the harsh criticisms that the French medievalist Étienne Gilson made of the positions of this school. The second, on the other hand, is characterized by a staunch defense of the theses of the main commentators of this school. During the 20th century, one of Gilson’s students, the Canadian Lawrence Dewan, openly opposed Gilsonian Thomism on the basis of the traditional interpretation. Today, some of his students consider this Dewanian proposal as a “nouvelle métaphysique thomiste,” assuming that it is a movement that brings a genuine renewal. In this article we will show that this movement, although it claims to be a novelty, is nothing more than the revitalization of the formalist theses of the Dominican school, and therefore cannot be considered a valid interpretation of Thomas Aquinas.
Kihívások a hazai KKV szektor döntéshozatalában – fókuszban az online kommunikációs megjelenés
Authors: Totth Gedeon , Brávácz Ibolya , Harsányi Dávid , Pacsi Diána , Szabó Zoltán 
Published: September 2022

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA
A KKV szektor online megjelenése és ezzel kapcsolatos döntéshozatali rendszerének vizsgálata több szempontból is indokolt. Az online jelenlét napjainkban evidenciának tekinthető, a vállalat méretétől függetlenül, másrészről az internet megjelenése a marketingben és különösképpen a marketingkommunikációban paradigmaváltást eredményezett. Az online megjelenés kulcsfontosságú elem a vállalati marketing stratégiában, mely lehetővé teszi, hogy a vállalkozás egyre korszerűbb és hatékonyabb marketingeszközökkel és megoldásokkal érje el fogyasztóit, üzleti partnereit. Ugyanakkor a KKV-k marketingtevékenysége, beleértve az online aktivitásokat gyakran elmarad a kívánatostól.
Kutatásunkban arra vállalkoztunk, hogy feltárjuk azokat a kis- és középvállalkozói attitűdöket és gyakorlatot, melyek a KKV-k online aktivitását napjainkban jellemzik, és releváns információkhoz jussunk az online aktivitással kapcsolatos döntési mechanizmusról, beleértve az online marketingaktivitásokat a Covid időszak előtt és 2022-ben.
ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN
Kutatásunkhoz a félig strukturált interjú formáját választottuk, melynek során összesen 25 interjúra került sor, ebből 12-t a 2019 január-március időszakban, 13-t 2022. februárjában bonyolítottunk le. A kutatásban résztvevő cégek a hazai KKV szektorból kerültek kiválasztásra.
LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK
Kutatásunk eredményei rámutatnak, hogy a vizsgált cégek online tevékenységén kevéssé érződik a tudatosság, a szakirodalomban megfogalmazott és a gyakorlatban tapasztalható, a KKV-khez kapcsolódó, jellemzőikből fakadó erősségeiket az online tevékenységük során kevéssé kamatoztatják. A KKV-k szemléletmódjában azonban egy határozott pozitív változás figyelhető meg, amit a Covid-19 részben felgyorsított, részben felerősített. A 2022-es felmérésünk szinte valamennyi szereplője további online fejlesztéseket tervez az elkövetkezendő időben.
GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK
Az eredményes online jelenlét feltétele a vállalkozáson belül fellelhető tudás és tapasztalat kihasználása a csoportos döntéshozatalon keresztül, szemben a tipikus KKV tulajdonosi, egyszemélyes döntéssel. A SEO és az SMM jelentőségének felismerése alapvető létszükséglet a vállalati sikerhez és ennek kiegyensúlyozása is szükséges a jellemzően SMM tevékenységek mellett. Az online tevékenységek egyre magasabb arányú kiszervezése elősegíti a vállalati tudástőke emelését és a hatékonyabb online kommunikációs jelenlétet. Az alapvető szemléletváltás egyik fontos eleme lehet a külső kommunikáció mellette a belső online kommunikáció fejlesztése.
Köszönetnyilvánítás: A kutatási projektet az Innovációs és Technológiai Minisztérium Felsőoktatási Intézményi Kiválósági Programja és a Budapesti Gazdasági Egyetem között létrejött együttműködési megállapodás (NKFIH-1259-8/2019) támogatja.
