Background
Perinatal mortality remains high globally and remains an important indicator of the quality of a health care system. To reduce this mortality, it is important to provide the recommended care during the perinatal period. We assessed the prevalence and factors associated with appropriate perinatal care (antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum) in Bunyoro region, Uganda. Results from this study provide valuable information on the perinatal care services and highlight areas of improvement for better perinatal outcomes.

Methods
A cross sectional survey was conducted among postpartum mothers attending care at three district hospitals in Bunyoro. Following consent, a questionnaire was administered to capture the participants’ demographics and data on care received was extracted from their antenatal, labour, delivery, and postpartum records using a pre-tested structured tool. The care received by women was assessed against the standard protocol established by World Health Organization (WHO). Poisson regression with robust standard errors was used to assess factors associated with appropriate postpartum care.

Results
A total of 872 mothers receiving care at the participating hospitals between March and June 2020 were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the mothers was 25 years (SD = 5.95). None of the mothers received appropriate antenatal or intrapartum care, and only 3.8% of the participants received appropriate postpartum care. Factors significantly associated with appropriate postpartum care included mothers being >35 years of age (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 11.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.8–51.4) and parity, with low parity (2–3) and multiparous (>3) mothers less likely to receive appropriate care than prime gravidas (aPR = 0.3, 95% CI 0.1–0.9 and aPR = 0.3, 95% CI 0.1–0.8 respectively).

Conclusions
Antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care received by mothers in this region remains below the standard recommended by WHO, and innovative strategies across the continuum of perinatal care need to be devised to prevent mortality among the mothers. The quality of care also needs to be balanced for all mothers irrespective of the age and parity.
Environmentally friendly, but behaviorally complex? A systematic review of e-scooter riders’ psychosocial risk features
Authors: Useche Sergio A. , Gonzalez-Marin Adela , Faus Mireia , Alonso Francisco 
Published: May 2022

Introduction
E-scooters have made a place for themselves on urban roads as an affordable, easy-to-use and environmentally friendly method of transportation. However, and partly because of their road behaviors and safety outcomes, e-scooter users have started to represent a focus of attention for transport planners and policymakers.

Aim
The present systematic review aims to target and analyze the existing studies investigating the psychosocial characteristics of e-scooter riders, focusing on their behavioral and risk-related features.

Methods
For this systematic review, the PRISMA methodology was used, which allows for the selection of suitable papers based on the study topic, in accordance with a set of pre-defined criteria and a search algorithm. A total of 417 indexed articles were filtered, resulting in only 32 eligible original articles directly addressing the issue. WOS, Scopus, NCBI, Google Scholar, and APA databases were used to create and test search techniques.

Results
At the literature level, most of the existing studies are distributed in a few regions of the globe. At the user’s level, results show how e-scooters are most commonly used by young, highly educated, urban-dwelling males, usually for short trips. In regard to road behavior, individuals with the lowest degrees of risk perception remain more prone to engaging in risky road behaviors likely to increase their crash involvement. This might be worsened by the lack of normative e-scooter regulations (and their enforcement) in many countries, plus the marked absence of road training processes. As common limitations, it can be mentioned that 87.5% of these studies used self-report methods, while 59.4% had local coverage.

Conclusions
The findings of this systematic review endorse the growing need to develop and enforce traffic laws and training processes for e-scooter users. In addition, road safety education and training programs are highlighted by existing studies as potentially pertinent alternatives to increase risk perception, and reduce risky behaviors, road conflicts and crash likelihood among e-scooter riders.

Published: May 2022

Background
Several studies have demonstrated that helminth infections provide a degree of protection against Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the relationship between Strongyloides stercoralis infection and T2DM has scarcely been investigated and the protective effect of infection against development of diabetic complications is unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between S. stercoralis infection and T2DM in a rural area of Khon Kaen Province, Thailand. The impact of S. stercoralis infection on diabetic complication-related kidney function biochemical parameters and body-mass index (BMI) was also assessed.

Methodology
Using a cross-sectional study design, S. stercoralis infection and T2DM assessments were conducted between October 2020 and May 2021. Associations between S. stercoralis infection, T2DM, and socioeconomic factors were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Diabetic complication-related biochemical parameters relating largely to kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), serum creatinine, uric acid, alanine transaminase (ALT), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)) and BMI of participants with and without T2DM were compared between groups with or without S. stercoralis infection.

Results
One hundred and seven out of 704 individuals (15.20%) were positive for S. stercoralis, and 283 people were diagnosed with T2DM. Of those with T2DM, 11.31% (32/283) were infected with S. stercoralis and of those without T2DM, 17.82% (75/421) were infected with S. stercoralis. Multivariate analysis revealed that T2DM was inversely correlated with S. stercoralis infection (Adjusted OR  =  0.49; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.78; p  = 0.003), while male, increasing age, lower education level, and alcohol intake were positively associated with infection. Those infected with S. stercoralis had lower eGFR levels and higher ALT and UACR levels than those in the uninfected group.

Conclusion
This finding indicates that S. stercoralis infection was inversely associated with T2DM in northeastern Thailand, but participants infected with S. stercoralis had lower eGFR levels and higher ALT and UACR levels. Infection with S. stercoralis might lead to worse complication-related renal biochemical parameters.

Published: May 2022

BackgroundThis cross-sectional study aims to investigate the association between subclinical atherosclerosis and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and a synergistic effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) and MAFLD on subclinical atherosclerosis.MethodsOf 977 subjects who underwent health checkups with coronary artery calcification (CAC), carotid intima-media thickness, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV), 890 were included in this study. They were classified as MAFLD, NAFLD, or Neither-FLD, and MAFLD was further categorized into three groups by three metabolic disorders (obesity, lean with metabolic dysregulation, DM), according to its new definition: Obesity-MAFLD, Lean-MAFLD and DM-MAFLD.ResultsIn a multivariable analysis, MAFLD and NAFLD were significantly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis, except for an association between ba-PWV and NAFLD. MAFLD had higher odds for CAC than NAFLD (for CAC score > 100, odds ratio (OR) = 2.599, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.625–4.157; OR = 1.795, 95%CI = 1.145–2.814, respectively). In a sub-analysis, DM-MAFLD had higher odds for CAC (for CAC score > 100, OR = 5.833, 95%CI = 3.047–11.164) than the other groups of MAFLD, when compared to Neither FLD as a reference. Moreover, DM-MAFLD had a higher level of homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and high sensitive C-reactive protein, compared to the other groups of MAFLD.ConclusionsMAFLD was significantly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in the general population. Additionally, DM-MAFLD could be a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease through insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation and requires careful follow-up or appropriate intervention.

Abstract

Objectives
Faecal immunochemical tests for haemoglobin (FIT) are used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programmes and to triage patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of CRC for further bowel investigations. There are a number of quantitative FIT analytical systems available. Currently, there is no harmonisation or standardisation of FIT methods. The aim of the study was to assess the comparability of numerical faecal haemoglobin concentrations (f-Hb) obtained with four quantitative FIT systems and the diagnostic accuracy at different f-Hb thresholds.

Methods
A subgroup of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) FIT study, a multicentre, prospective diagnostic accuracy study were sent four FIT specimen collection devices from four different FIT systems or two FIT devices for one FIT system. Faecal samples were examined and analysis of results carried out to assess difference between methods at thresholds of limit of detection (LoD), 10 µg haemoglobin/g faeces (µg/g) and 100 μg/g.

Results
233 patients returned specimen collection devices for examination on four different systems; 189 patients returned two FIT kits for one system. At a threshold of 100 μg/g the sensitivity is the same for all methods. At lower thresholds of LoD and 10 μg/g differences were observed between systems in terms of patients who would be referred and diagnostic accuracies.

Conclusions
The lack of standardisation or harmonisation of FIT means that differences are observed in f-Hb generated on different systems. Further work is required to understand the clinical impact of these differences and to minimise them.
„Auf dass wieder Ruhe und Ordnung herrscht“ Proklamationen im deutschen Feldzug gegen die OvaHerero (1904/05)
Authors: Häussler Matthias 
Published: May 2022

Zusammenfassung
Kommt die Rede auf Proklamationen in „Deutsch-Südwestafrika“, denkt man unweigerlich an den berüchtigten „Aufruf an das Volk der Herero“ des Generalleutnants Lothar von Trotha vom 3. Oktober 1904, der als zentrales Dokument des ersten Genozids des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt. Es fällt in der Tat schwer, sich der Suggestivkraft seiner martialischen wie menschenverachtenden Worte zu entziehen, und zwar umso mehr, wenn man auf die Folgen blickt, die sie über ihre Adressaten, die OvaHerero, bringen sollten. Doch so singulär dieses Dokument in dieser Perspektive auch erscheinen mag, handelte sich dabei um eine eingeschliffene Textform, zu der auch andere militärische wie zivile Spitzenfunktionäre in „Deutsch-Südwestafrika“ vor und nach Trotha griffen. Rückt man Trothas „Aufruf“ in diese Abfolge, kontextualisiert und analysiert ihn, wird deutlich, dass er ursprünglich etwas anderes als ein Dokument des Genozids war, nämlich eine Textform, die über „Deutsch-Südwestafrika“ hinaus für beginnende, despotische Herrschaft typisch ist.
Chilenische Reaktionen auf die Colonia Dignidad vor dem Militärputsch
Authors: Kandler Philipp , Rinke Stefan 
Published: May 2022

Zusammenfassung
Die Sektensiedlung „Colonia Dignidad“ beschäftigt die deutsche und chilenische Öffentlichkeit seit fast 60 Jahren. Eine wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit dem Thema steht allerdings noch am Anfang. Anhand unveröffentlichter Archivquellen analysiert dieser Artikel den ersten großen Skandal um die Sekte 1966–1968, in dem auch die Deutsche Botschaft in Santiago eine Rolle spielte. In Chile erregte dieser Skandal große öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit und führte zu staatlichen Untersuchungen. Zu einer Sanktionierung der Sekte kam es nicht. Eine Analyse der unterschiedlichen Untersuchungen, der Presseberichterstattung, der Gegenstrategien der Colonia Dignidad und des bisher wenig berücksichtigten politischen Kontexts in Chile ermöglicht es, verschiedene Faktoren zu identifizieren, die es dieser privaten Organisation ermöglichten, ein staatliches Durchgreifen abzuwehren.
Forecasting technical performance and cost estimation of designed rim wheels based on variations of geometrical parameters
Authors: Prabowo Aditya Rio , Sanjaya Yuwana , Imaduddin Fitrian 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Rim wheel testing through the SAE standard is necessary for driving safety. This study focused on rim wheel tests carried out using the dynamic radial fatigue test method, which has been included in the SAE standard using Fusion360 for the design and ANSYS for the simulation. With different parameters for the rim wheel type, only some parameters of the tested rim wheels were able to pass the standardization by SAE; 16 rim wheels passed the test, while the other 11 rim wheels did not pass. Simulation results suggested that variations in the thickness, geometry, and material affected the displacement of the safety factor, which was inversely proportional. In addition, the variation in the rim wheel produced a change in the safety factor due to changes in its mass and cost, which were directly proportional. The results of this study will aid in rim wheel design, not only in terms of achieving the best performance but also with regard to cost efficiency.
On FrenchEst-ce queYes/No Questions and Related Constructions
Authors: Pollock Jean-Yves 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn addition to the Qu-est-ce que questions in (1) which, as their translations indicate, are mono-clausal despite their bi-clausal form, French has yes/no questions such as (2) in which the est-ce que sequence shows up again.(1)a.Où est-ce qu’il est parti? ‘Where is ce that he is gone?’ = Where did he go?b.Qu’est-ce qu’il fait? ‘Que is ce that he does ?’ = What is he doing?(2)a.Est-ce qu’il est parti? ‘Is ce that he is gone?’ = Has he gone?b.Est-ce qu’il fait beau? ‘Is ce that it is nice?’ = Is the weather nice?(2) are also ‘ordinary’ polar questions. Since French seems to be unique in the Romance domain in accepting the Qu-questions in (1) and the polar questions in (2) it is tempting to suggest that a proper analysis of the former should also shed light on the latter. This article will verify whether thisa prioridesirable generalisation is valid. As a first step, it will look at the analysis of Est-ce que as an interrogative head ESK merged in the CP domain suggested by Cheng and Rooryck (2000.Licensing WH-in situ. Syntax 3.1. April 2000, 3–19.) which expresses it in its strongest possible form: Est-ce que yes/no questions like (2) would seem to only differ from their Qu-counterparts in missing the Qu-element. The article will show that their ESK proposal should be challenged empirically and theoretically in sections 2, 3 and 4. It will investigate Est-ce que polar questions and related constructions in detail in section 5 and will show in 6 that they do indeed share one crucial property with qu’est-ce que questions, although the generalisation it arrives at in section 7 substantially differs from Cheng & Rooryck’s proposal.
