Disorders due to addictive behaviors: Further issues, debates, and controversies •
Authors: Griffiths Mark D. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Two recent papers in the Journal of Behavioral Addictions by Brand et al. (2022), and Sassover and Weinstein (2022) both make interesting additions to the place of behavioral addictions in the more general addictive behaviors field. This commentary discusses some of the further nuances in the debates surrounding whether problematic engagement in social networking, pornography, and buying/shopping should be considered as possible ‘disorders due to addictive behaviors’ in the ICD-11. Particular emphasis in this commentary is placed on social network use disorder and its delineation. While there is growing evidence that addictions to sex, pornography, social network sites, exercise, work, and buying/shopping may be genuine disorders among a minority of individuals, none of these behaviors is likely to be included in formal psychiatric manuals in the near future until there is more high-quality data on all research fronts (e.g., epidemiological, neurobiological, psychological, and clinical).
Assessment of compulsive sexual behavior disorder among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer clients •
Authors: Jennings Todd L. , Gleason Neil , Kraus Shane W. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Numerous debates surround the recent inclusion of compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) in the International Classification of Diseases (11th ed.), such as the appropriate classification of this construct and what symptom criteria best capture this syndrome. Although controversy surrounding CSBD abounds, there is general agreement that researchers should examine this syndrome in diverse groups, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations. However, there have been few investigations into how diverse sociocultural contexts may influence the assessment and treatment of CSBD. Therefore, we propose several differential diagnosis considerations when working with sexual and gender diverse clients to avoid CSBD misdiagnosis.

Ghana as a developing country needs to educate its citizens especially the girl-child for her to become an important personality in the society in which she lives. In view of that, the government since 1992 introduced the FCUBE (Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education) in the country. This policy is to enable every child of school going age to get access to education. In spite of the provision made for the children in the country, only few girls at Trabuom in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana attend school. Those who attend school do not complete the Junior High School. Although, the District Directorate of Education know the low enrollment level of girls at the Trabuom Roman Catholic School, very little has been researched into. The study sought to introduce some fabric construction techniques such as macramé and crocheting as interventions to reduce girls truancy in school. The qualitative research design was adopted and participatory action research method was employed. In all 45 students between the ages of 12 to 16 years were sampled for the study using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Primary data was collected using interviews, observations and focus group discussions. The data were analyzed and discussed accordingly. The findings indicate some of the girls do not attend school due to poverty, teenage pregnancy, negative parental attitude towards girl’s education and sexual harassment by some male teachers. The use of some fabric construction techniques such as macramé and crocheting could significantly help increase the enrollment of girls in school.

This study examined the situational motivation of Iranian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners amid the COVID-19 pandemic through a descriptive and correlational design. To this end, the 16-item version of the Situational Motivation Scale constructed was employed. The participants were 65 university students who had taken a general English course. The data were fed into SPSS. The findings indicated that intrinsic motivation and amotivation were the lowest and highest categories of the scale. That is, the course had no inherent pleasure for the participants and they experienced feelings of ineffectiveness and beliefs of uncontrollability. Also, it was found that there was a significant, moderate and negative relationship between Intrinsic motivation and external regulation and motivation. Also, the relationship between amotivation and external regulation was significant, strong and positive.

Published: July 2022

Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang episteme-episteme yang muncul dari siswa, orang tua dan guru terhadap Pertemuan Tatap Muka (PTM) yang mulai dilaksanakan kembali setelah dua tahun masa Covid-19 di SMA Kristen. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan pemetaan episteme tentang PTM yang ada di lingkungan SMA Kristen. Foucault menjabarkan episteme sebagai bentuk pengetahuan yang otoritatif atau pengetahuan yang telah dimantapkan sebagai pemaknaan terhadap situasi tertentu pada suatu zaman. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan dianalisis melalui teori kekuasaan Foucault terkait dengan pengetahuan dan kekuasaan. Data diambil dengan melakukan indepth interview kepada tiga guru, dua siswa kelas 11, dua siswa kelas 10 dan empat siswa kelas 12 sebagai angkatan siswa yang menjalankan masa pembelajaran onsite sebelum pandemi dan masa online ketika pandemi berlangsung hingga saat ini kembali pada pembelajaran onsite. Dua pertimbangan mengenai pelaksanaan PTM yaitu pertimbangan wilayah aman dan wilayah tidak aman serta batasan waktu menjadi acuan dalam menentukan keputusan kapan waktu PTM dapat dilaksanakan dengan baik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa…

Learning About Real Experiences From Real Users: A Blueprint for Participatory Accessibility Testing
Authors: Marcaccio Alexandra , Clarke Sara , Wetheral Alison 
Published: July 2022

Although it is crucial for libraries to meet required online accessibility standards (e.g., Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0), compliance with these technical standards does not guarantee optimal or equitable experiences for all library users who interact with online spaces or materials. Recent literature on accessibility testing has acknowledged the value of including people with disabilities in testing and designing digital objects and spaces. This thinking aligns with the library-based user experience (UX) principle that talking directly to users about their experiences using library services and resources is the most effective way to understand and thereby improve the overall library experience. In 2020, the UX Group at Western Libraries undertook a pilot accessibility testing initiative to plan, design, and deliver participatory accessibility testing with campus community members who had self-identified as living with a range of disabilities. Three accessibility tests were designed to assess five distinct digital objects, and 14 testing sessions were completed with eight participants. A semi-structured and participatory testing method allowed participants to freely interact with the testing objects, provide detailed feedback regarding their experiences using the objects, and recommend improvements to elements they found less accessible. This article includes an overview of considerations and challenges of the initiative as well as lessons learned in the process of securing funding, recruiting participants, designing the tests, and conducting testing. We reflect on the value of participatory accessibility testing and make recommendations for conducting similar projects at other libraries.

Authors: Delhom Peris Iraida , Donio-Bellegardeb Mônica , Mateu-Mollá Joaquín , Lacomba-Trejo Laura 
Published: July 2022

Marco teórico: La Inteligencia Emocional (IE), las estrategias de afrontamiento y la edad parecen jugar un papel importante en la aparición de sintomatología ansiosa, depresiva y de estrés, siendo todos ellos síntomas con una gran prevalencia y repercusión en España. Es por ello que estas variables se convierten en aspectos clave a considerar en relación a la salud mental. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo pretende comprobar si las habilidades de IE, el afrontamiento y la edad resultan predictores significativos de la psicopatología.
Método: Participaron 256 españoles, evaluados en sintomatología ansiosa, depresiva y estrés (DASS-21), IE (TMMS-24) y afrontamiento (CAE). Se llevaron a cabo correlaciones de Pearson y modelos de regresiones jerárquicas (MRJ).
Resultados: Los MRJ evidenciaron que una menor edad, menos claridad y altos niveles en atención, expresión emocional y autofocalización negativa predicen la ansiedad y el estrés, mientras que la depresión estuvo predicha por una alta atención y autofocalización y una baja claridad.
Conclusiones: Señalamos la relevancia de la IE y el afrontamiento orientado a las emociones en la predicción de la psicopatología.

Abstract

5G stands for 5 th generation network. It allows to connect people, machines, objects, etc. this paper will be talking about the design of a simple rectangular microstrip patch antenna for Ka bands and mmW applications at 35 GHz as operating frequency with dimensions 4.4 x 3.05 mm2 and we got after simulation some parameters such as bandwidth equals to 4 GHz, 5.3 dB as Gain, 6.5 dB as Directivity, 1.9 as VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio). Then, we have tried to improve those parameters by doing another design known as U slot antenna and we have achieved, bandwidth equals to 3 GHz, 6.08 dB as Gain, 7.16 dB as Directivity, 1.3 as VSWR. The proposed antenna has been made using FR4 material for substrate and has successfully improved the values of parameters because efficiency is 85% and is suitable for 5G applications.

Abstract

In this paper, firstly, we introduce the notion of a bipolar fuzzy soft filter ( BFS -filter) by using bipolar fuzzy soft sets. Also, we define the concept of an ultra BFS -filter and investigate some of its properties. Next, we give convergence of BFS -filters in a bipolar fuzzy soft topological space with useful results. Moreover, we develop a multi-criteria group decision-making method based on BFS -filter to deal with uncertainties in our daily life. Finally, we present a numerical example to make a decision for selection of best alternative.2010 AMS Classification: 54A20, 54A40, 06D72.

Abstract
Background
Coagulation disorders are frequently encountered among coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]-infected patients, especially among those with more severe symptoms. This study aims to determine the incidence and risk factors of venous thromboembolism [VTE] in COVID-19 patients.
Methods
The retrospective observational Cohort study was conducted from March to July 2020. All adult patients [> 18 years old] with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were included. Laboratory data and real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [rRT-PCR] for SARS-CoV-2 were obtained from medical records and correlated with those who developed VTE.
Results
In this study, 1024 patients were identified with confirmed COVID-19, of which 58 patients [5.7%] had VTE. In the bivariate analysis, VTE was associated with chronic kidney disease, hematological disorder, cancer, and high D-dimer > 0.50 mg/l. The analysis of the data showed that the number of patients diagnosed with cancer was significantly higher in the VTE group [8 patients, 13.8%] than the non-VTE group [47 patients, 4.9%; p = 0.003]. Patients with cancer were 2 times more likely to have VTE [adjusted odds ratio [1] = 2.614; 95% CI=[1.048–6.519]; p = 0.039]. The sensitivity analyses showed that individuals with high D-dimer > 0.50 mg/l were more likely to have VTE.
Conclusion
VTE is more prevalent among individuals with chronic conditions, including cancer. Healthcare professionals should closely monitor individuals with high risk of developing VTE, including those with COVID-19 and chronic conditions, to prevent unwanted complications.

Abstract
Background: Bloodstream infections of central venous catheters （CVC） are often caused by the migration of organisms from the insertion site or under the dressing. According to the evidence summary, it is recommended to change the dressing 24hrs after insertion, which would cause central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) and medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) in the previous audits we had implemented. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hypothesis that not changing the dressing after 24hrs of CVC insertion is not inferior to changing after 24 hrs in terms of the occurrence of bacterial colonization on the seventh or eighth day after the insertion.Method: A multicenter prospective randomized controlled non-inferiority trial of pediatric patients with CVC whether the dressing is changed 24hs after CVC insertion. A total of 280 children will be enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The main outcome will be the occurrence of bacterial colonization under dressings. The secondary outcomes will be the incidence of CLABSI and MARSI. Discussion: This study investigates the safety and feasibility of not changing the dressing after 24hs of CVC. The result may update the evidence of CVC maintenance and form a new policy and process of CVC maintenance.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04806776. Initially registered on 17th March 2021,the recruitment will be completed on June 1st ,2022.

Abstract
RNA editing has been described to promote heterogeneity leading to the development of multiple disorders including cancer. The cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B is known to fuel tumor evolution through DNA mutagenesis, but whether it may also function as an RNA editing enzyme has not been studied. Here, we engineered a novel doxycycline-inducible mouse model of human APOBEC3B-overexpression to understand the impact of this enzyme in tissue homeostasis and address a potential role in C-to-U RNA editing. Elevated and sustained levels of APOBEC3B led to rapid alteration of cellular fitness, major organ dysfunction, and ultimately lethality in mice. Importantly, extensive analyses of RNA-sequencing and WES from mouse tissues expressing high APOBEC3B levels reveal frequent UCC-to-UUC RNA editing events mainly localized in a specific hotspot. This work identifies, for the first time, a new function for APOBEC3B in RNA editing and presents a valuable preclinical tool to understand the emerging role of APOBEC3B as a potent driver of cancer and other diseases.
The m6A demethylase FTO promotes esophageal cancer progression via the YTHDF1/AKT3 signaling network
Authors: Zang Chunbao , Wei Ran , Zhao Fangfang , Li Zhenyu , Kong Lingsuo , Li Yuanhai 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
As the most abundant modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs), the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays vital roles in many biological processes. Here we applied the methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) and transcriptomic RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to screen the m6A targets in esophageal cancer patients. We found that the m6A demethylase FTO was significantly up regulated in esophageal cancer cell lines and patient tissues. In vivo and in vitro assays demonstrated that FTO was involved in the proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells. Moreover, we found that the m6A methyltransferase METTL14 negatively regulates FTO function on esophageal cancer progression. By using transcriptome-wide m6A-seq and RNA-seq assays, we identified that AKT3 is a downstream target of FTO, which acts in concert to regulate the tumorigenesis and metastasis of esophageal cancer. All these findings revealed insights into the m6A-regulated tumorigenesis in esophageal cancer, which is applicable for designing new therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Objective:This study aims to investigate the perinatal outcomes in COVID-19 pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and elevated liver enzymes.Methods: Present study was carried on pregnant women with COVID-19 between March 11, 2020 and August 11, 2021. Patients with liver enzyme levels higher than twice the upper limit of the reference range for Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and/or Alanine Transferase (ALT) were included. Cases with elevated Fasting Biliary Acid (FBA) levels were regarded as ICP. Remaining cases were used as the control group. A receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of ALT and AST for ICP.Results: There were a total of 1751 patients in the study period. Among them 126 had elevated liver enzymes. Nineteen of these cases had also ICP. AST and ALT values were statistically higher in the ICP group. Demographic features, clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes were similar between the groups. The rate of ICP in pregnant women with COVID-19 was similar to the literature in this study. Although the rates of preterm delivery were higher than the current literature for both groups, study and control groups were comparable in terms of preterm delivery. The optimal cut-off values were 109.5 IU/L (specificity: 59.2%, sensitivity: 63.3%) and 89.5 IU/L (specificity: 68.4%, sensitivity: 67.3%) for ALT and AST ,respectively according to the results of the ROC analysis.Conclusion: Similar perinatal outcomes were observed between the ICP and control groups. However, relatively higher rates of maternal mortality, intensive care unit admission, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and preterm birth were observed for COVID-19 pregnant women with elevated liver enzymes compared to the previous literature. Thus, physicians dealing with pregnant women with COVID-19 should be cautious about the management of cases with elevated liver enzymes.
Infectious clone development of a recombinant strain of cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus from Brazil by Gibson Assembly

Published: July 2022

Abstract
In Brazil, the main viral disease of the melon crop is severe yellowing disease called “Amarelão do Meloeiro”, and a polerovirus, cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV) is considered one of its etiological agents. This virus is a recombinant strain originated from CABYV and unknown polerovirus. Due to unsuccessful mechanical inoculations of CABYV to host plants, the study of its biological characterization is hampered. Therefore, an infectious clone of the recombinant strain of CABYV was constructed using the Gibson Assembly technology in this study. The full-length genomic cDNA clone produced here was shown to be infectious in cucurbit species such as melon, squash and West Indian gherkin plants, but not for watermelon, cucumber and zucchini plants. This insusceptibility of watermelon plants to the infectious clone corroborates the absence of this virus occurrence in watermelon fields often located near by the melon plantations. This infectious clone provides the important tool for future study in developing resistant melon variety to CABYV infection.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Background: Several investigators have reported that sarcopenia is common in patients with cirrhosis. However, few studies have discussed the association between sarcopenia and liver cirrhosis complicated with esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding (LC-EGVB). We aimed to investigate the impact of sarcopenia on rebleeding after endoscopic therapy in patients with LC-EGVB. Method: CT images from the 3 rd lumbar vertebrae were selected to analyze body composition, including SMT VAT and SAT, by SliceOmatic software. Sarcopenia was defined according to validated cutoff values for patients with cirrhosis: 44.77 cm 2 /m 2 for males and 32.50 cm 2 /m 2 for females. Results: A total of 187 LC-EGVB patients and 309 donors were included. The rate of sarcopenia in donors (17.4%) was significantly lower than that in LC-EGVB patients (41.2%). LC-EGVB patients with sarcopenia have a high prevalence of portal vein thrombosis and rebleeding rate at 1 year. The rate of sarcopenia in the rebleeding group was significantly higher than that in the non-rebleeding group. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for rebleeding within 1 year in LC-EGVB patients. Conclusion: LC-EGVB patients have a high prevalence of sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for rebleeding within 1 year.
