BackgroundThe increased burden of diabetes affects the quality of life, including psychosocial problems. The study aims to compare the psychological well-being of individuals who are prediabetic, diabetic, or non-diabetic.MethodsA cross-sectional exploratory study was conducted from January to June 2016 (n = 1,019) in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. After consent and questionnaires were filled out, trained staff took blood samples followed by anthropometry. Chi-squared tests, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between diabetes classes defined by HbA1c cut-off levels set by the American Diabetes Association (three categories), individual items, and total score in general health questionnaire (GHQ). An ROC curve was plotted for the total GHQ-12 score against HbA1c.FindingsThe mean GHQ score for psychological distress was significantly higher (F = 6.569, P = 0.038) in the diabetics (mean = 14.7) and the prediabetics (12.4) than in the non-diabetics (10.71). Four out of six positive GHQ items and three out of six negative GHQ items significantly differed among the three classes of diabetes. The adjusted multivariate analysis revealed that people with diabetes were most likely to report psychological distress compared to non-diabetics (unstandardized beta = 2.414; P = 0.037). The AUC examining the relationship between HBA1c and GHQ scores showed a moderate but statistically insignificant sensitivity/specificity of 0.643 (P = 0.23).ConclusionThis study demonstrates that psychological wellbeing is substantially poorer among diabetic or prediabetic individuals than non-diabetic individuals. Future longitudinal studies are required to examine a plausible causal relationship between diabetes/prediabetes and psychological distress.

Published: June 2022

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has created one of the greatest challenges to humankind, developing long-lasting socio-economic impacts on our health and wellbeing, employment, and global economy. Citizen engagement with government social media accounts has proven crucial for the effective communication and management of public health crisis. Although much research has explored the societal impact of the pandemic, extant literature has failed to create a systematic and dynamic model that examines the formation mechanism of citizen engagement with government social media accounts at the different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study fills this gap by employing the Heuristic-Systematic Model and investigating the effects of the heuristic clues including social media capital, information richness, language features, dialogic loop, and the systematic clue including content types, on citizen engagement with government social media across three different stages of the pandemic, employing the moderating role of emotional valence.MethodsThe proposed model is validated by scraping 16,710 posts from 22 provincial and municipal government micro-blog accounts in the Hubei province, China.ResultsResults show that the positive effects of social media capital on citizen engagement were observed at all stages. However, the effects of information richness, language features, dialogic loop, and content types, and the moderating effect of emotional valence, varied across the different pandemic development stages.ConclusionsThe findings provide suggestions for the further effective use of government social media, and better cope with crises. Government agencies should pay attention to the content and form of information shared, using technical means to analyze the information needs of citizens at different stages of public health emergencies, understanding the content most concerned by citizens, and formulating the content type of posts.

IntroductionUnderstanding community women's relational and financial empowerment in social entrepreneurship could be the key to scaling up community-based human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling programs in low- and middle-income countries. The Hope Project, social entrepreneurship in Peru, trains women (Hope Ladies) to promote HPV self-sampling among other women in their communities. This study aims to evaluate the Hope Ladies' relational and financial empowerment after participating in the program.Materials and MethodsWe evaluated the Hope Ladies' experiences of empowerment in social entrepreneurship using a parallel convergent mixed methods design. The Hope Ladies participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews (n = 20) and an eight-questions five-point Likert scale survey that evaluated their relational (n = 19)/financial (n = 17) empowerment. The interview and the survey questions were developed using three empowerment frameworks: Kabeer's conceptual framework, International Center for Research on Women's economic empowerment indicators, and the Relational Leadership Theory. Deductive content analysis was used to evaluate the interviews with pre-determined codes and categories of empowerment. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the survey results. Qualitative and quantitative data were integrated through a cross-case comparison of emergent themes and corresponding survey responses during the results interpretation.ResultsAll Hope Ladies reported experiencing increased empowerment in social entrepreneurship. Interviews: The women reported challenges and improvement in three categories of empowerment: (1) resources (balancing between household and Hope Lady roles, recognition from the community as a resource, camaraderie with other Hope Ladies); (2) agency (increased knowledge about reproductive health, improved confidence to express themselves, and ability to speak out against male-dominant culture); and (3) achievement (increased economic assets, improved ability to make financial decisions, and widened social network and capital, and technology skills development). Survey: All (100%) agreed/totally agreed an increase in social contacts, increased unaccompanied visits to a healthcare provider (86%), improved confidence in discussing reproductive topics (100%), improved ability to make household decisions about money (57% pre-intervention vs. 92% post-intervention).ConclusionsThe Hope Ladies reported improved relational and financial empowerment through participating in community-based social entrepreneurship. Future studies are needed to elucidate the relationship between empowerment and worker retention/performance to inform the scale-up of HPV self-sampling social entrepreneurship programs.

Published: June 2022

BackgroundAt the College of Medicine and Medical Sciences (CMMS), Arabian Gulf University (AGU), Bahrain, the Public Health Program comprises two core components, namely, lectures and field visits (consumer products safety, communicable diseases control, and food safety). Digital transformation has innovated the medical educational activities during the COVID-19 pandemic where the real public health field visits were transformed into a virtual format. This study is aimed to examine the potential effect of converting the real public health field visit programs into a virtual format during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsAll medical students who have submitted online feedback evaluation forms upon completing the Public Health Program in the academic years 2019–2020 (180 students; before the COVID-19 pandemic) and 2020–2021 (167 students; during the COVID-19 pandemic) were included in the study, a total sample size of 347 responses. Independent samples t-test was employed to compare students' feedback on Public Health Program before and during the COVID-19 pandemic while the Pearson chi-square test was used for categorical data. A p-value of &lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsThe mean score of students' satisfaction from the virtual program during the COVID-19 pandemic toward the consumer products safety and food safety field visits was significantly higher than that for students before the COVID-19 pandemic (the real field visits). However, there was no observed statistically significant difference for the Communicable Diseases Control visit. In addition, no significant differences were detected between the mean responses of male and female students toward all field visits, whether the feedback was provided before or during the COVID-19 pandemic.ConclusionTransformation of real public health field visits into virtual format is acceptable and applicable during the COVID-19 era and maybe beyond.
A Slippery Slope When Using an Evidence-Based Intervention Out of Context. How Professionals Perceive and Navigate the Fidelity-Adaptation Dilemma—A Qualitative Study
Authors: Zetterlund Johanna , von Thiele Schwarz Ulrica , Hasson Henna , Neher Margit 
Published: June 2022

IntroductionAdaptations are often necessary to effectively translate evidence-based interventions (EBI) between contexts, but compliance with the EBIs' core components is still important, which is referred to as the fidelity–adaptation dilemma. In the sustainment phase of implementation, it is the professionals delivering the EBIs who are tasked with the decision-making regarding adaptations, but the currently used models and frameworks mostly focus on the initial phases of implementation. To better understand and guide professionals in using EBIs, there is a need to explore professionals' perceptions of the fidelity–adaptation dilemma. The aim of this study is consequently to explore how professionals perceive and navigate the fidelity–adaptation dilemma when using an EBI out of context.Materials and MethodsSemi-structured interviews were held with 19 psychologists working in primary care. The interviews concerned EBIs in general and Cool Kids, an evidence-based parenting education program designed for children with anxiety that is now used for children with lower levels of anxiety in another setting. The data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis method.ResultsThe analysis resulted in two themes: My standpoint regarding fidelity and adaptation is clear and Managing fidelity and adaptations is complicated. The first theme summarizes the professionals' perceptions of confidence for either favoring fidelity or adaptations, as well as reasons for why they made adaptations. For the second theme, the professionals expressed concern about sometimes meeting difficulties with the dilemma when following their original inclination and having second thoughts about the impact the adaptations have in practice.ConclusionThe professionals generally had strong preferences regarding fidelity and adaptations, but neither preference prevented them from facing difficulties with the dilemma. The results point to a need for better information about possible adaptations from developers but also better support and guidance for professionals when implementing EBIs to ensure quality implementation and facilitate implementation. The results of this study can inform the design of support for professionals in managing the dilemma.
Accuracy of UAV Photogrammetry in Glacial and Periglacial Alpine Terrain: A Comparison With Airborne and Terrestrial Datasets

Published: June 2022

Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with optical instruments are increasingly deployed in high mountain environments to investigate and monitor glacial and periglacial processes. The comparison and fusion of UAV data with airborne and terrestrial data offers the opportunity to analyse spatio-temporal changes in the mountains and to upscale findings from local UAV surveys to larger areas. However, due to the lack of gridded high-resolution data in alpine terrain, the specific challenges and uncertainties associated with the comparison and fusion of multi-temporal data from different platforms in this environment are not well known. Here we make use of UAV, airborne, and terrestrial data from four (peri)glacial alpine study sites with different topographic settings. The aim is to assess the accuracy of UAV photogrammetric products in complex terrain, to point out differences to other products, and to discuss best practices regarding the fusion of multi-temporal data. The surface geometry and characteristic geomorphological features of the four alpine sites are well captured by the UAV data, but the positional accuracies vary greatly. They range from 15 cm (root-mean-square error) for the smallest survey area (0.2 km2) with a high ground control point (GCP) density (40 GCPs km−2) to 135 cm for the largest survey area (>2.5 km2) with a lower GCP density (<10 GCPs km−2). Besides a small number and uneven distribution of GCPs, a low contrast, and insufficient lateral image overlap (<50–70%) seem to be the main causes for the distortions and artefacts found in the UAV data. Deficiencies both in the UAV and airborne data are the reason for horizontal deviations observed between the datasets. In steep terrain, horizontal deviations of a few decimetres may result in surface elevation change errors of several metres. An accurate co-registration and evaluation of multi-temporal UAV, airborne, and terrestrial data using tie points in stable terrain is therefore of utmost importance when it comes to the investigation of surface displacements and elevation changes in the mountains. To enhance the accuracy and quality of UAV photogrammetry, the use of UAVs equipped with multi-spectral cameras and high-precision positioning systems is recommended, especially in rugged terrain and snow-covered areas.

Published: June 2022

Infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) pose a major clinical threat worldwide especially to immunocompromised patients. As a novel vaccine network for many kinds of bacteria, bacterial ghosts (BGs) have recently been introduced. In the present research, using Sponge-Like Reduced Protocol, P. aeruginosa ghosts (PAGs) were prepared to maintain surface antigens and immunogenicity. This is the first study, to our knowledge, on the production of chemically induced well-structured bacterial ghosts for PA using concentrations of different chemicals. The research was carried out using diabetic rats who were orally immunized at two-week intervals with three doses of PAGs. Rats were subsequently challenged either by the oral route or by the model of ulcer infection with PA. In challenged rats, in addition to other immunological parameters, organ bioburden and wound healing were determined, respectively. Examination of the scanning and transmission electron microscope (EM) proved that PAGs with a proper three-dimensional structure were obtained. In contrast to control groups, oral PAGs promoted the generation of agglutinating antibodies, the development of IFN-γ, and the increase in phagocytic activity in vaccinated groups. Antibodies of the elicited PAGs were reactive to PA proteins and lipopolysaccharides. The defense against the PA challenge was observed in PAGs-immunized diabetic rats. The resulting PAGs in orally vaccinated diabetic rats were able to evoke unique humoral and cell-mediated immune responses and to defend them from the threat of skin wound infection. These results have positive implications for future studies on the PA vaccine.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
We investigated the effect of stoichiometry on the spin Hall angle of the half-Heusler alloy topological semimetal YPtBi by changing the composition ratio r of Y/Pt from 0.5 to 1.9. We confirmed that YPtBi with high C1 ordering can be deposited by co-sputtering at r = 0.5–1.5, and a large effective spin Hall angle

Dieser Aufsatz behandelt mögliche Tragfähigkeitsnachweise nach prEN 1993–1–1:2020 von mit Normalkraft und Biegemomenten beanspruchten Trägern mit einfachsymmetrischen I-Querschnitten. Das Stabilitätsverhalten bei einfachsymmetrischen I-Profilen unterscheidet sich zu symmetrischen Querschnitten, weil der Abstand zwischen Schubmittel- und Schwerpunkt zusätzliche Biegemomente und Bimomente nach Theorie 2. Ordnung verursacht.

Es wird ein Vergleich der Interaktionsmethode (auch als Nachweis mit Abminderungsfaktoren bezeichnet), der Allgemeinen Methode und der Globalen Imperfektionsmethode sowie deren Nachweisresultate gezeigt. Zum Nachweis der Genauigkeit wurden eigene geometrisch und materiell nicht-lineare Berechnungen unter Ansatz von individuell kalibrierten Imperfektionen (auch mit GMNIA bezeichnet) durchgeführt. Die parametrischen Studien ergaben für die drei Methoden vergleichbare Sicherheitsniveaus.
