Published: July 2022

ObjectivesIncreases in obesity and cardiovascular diseases contribute to rapidly growing healthcare expenditures in many countries. However, little is known about whether the population-level health guidance intervention for obesity and cardiovascular risk factors is associated with reduced healthcare utilisation and spending. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of population-level health guidance intervention introduced nationally in Japan on healthcare utilisation and spending.DesignRetrospective cohort study, using a quasiexperimental regression discontinuity design.SettingJapan’s nationwide employment-based health insurers.ParticipantsParticipants in the national health screening programme (from January 2014 to December 2014) aged 40–74 years.PredictorsAssignment to health guidance intervention (counselling on healthy lifestyles, and referral to physicians as needed) determined primarily on whether the individual’s waist circumference was above or below the cut-off value in addition to having at least one cardiovascular risk factor.Primary and secondary outcome measuresHealthcare utilisation (the number of outpatient visits days, any medication use and any hospitalisation use) and spending (total medical expenditure, outpatient medical expenditure and inpatient medical expenditure) within 3 years of the intervention.ResultsA total of 51 213 individuals within the bandwidth (±6 cm of waist circumference from the cut-off) out of 113 302 screening participants (median age 50.0 years, 11.9% woman) were analysed. We found that the assignment to the national health guidance intervention was associated with fewer outpatient visit days (−1.3 days; 95% CI, −11.4 to −0.5 days; p=0.03). We found no evidence that the assignment to the health guidance intervention was associated with changes in medication or hospitalisation use, or healthcare spending.ConclusionAmong working-age, male-focused Japanese from a health insurer of companies of civil engineering and construction, the national health guidance intervention might be associated with a decline in outpatient visits, with no change in medication/hospitalisation use or healthcare spending.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to retrospectively analyse the influence of epidural labour analgesia (ELA) on delivery and maternal and neonatal outcomes in nulliparous women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using propensity score-matched analysis.DesignRetrospective cohort analysis.SettingPrimary care practices in a teaching hospital from March 2018 to October 2021.ParticipantsA total of 816 delivery records of nulliparous women with GDM were collected and retrospectively analysed.InterventionsELA and non-ELA (NELA) cohorts were assessed.Main outcome measureThe primary outcome assessed was delivery type (spontaneous, assisted vaginal or caesarean). The secondary outcomes assessed included labour duration and maternal and neonatal outcomes.ResultsA total of 137 propensity score-matched pairs of ELA and NELA patients were analysed. ELA was associated with a decreased rate of caesarean section (18.3% vs 46.0% in the ELA vs NELA cohort, respectively; p<0.05) and an increased occurrence of assisted vaginal delivery (35.8% vs 12.4% in the ELA vs NELA cohort, respectively; p<0.05). The duration of the first and total stages of labour was prolonged, the occurrence of postpartum fever increased, and the duration of hospital stay was shortened in those receiving ELA (all p<0.05). Additionally, neonatal birth weight, plasma glucose levels and neonatal macrosomia occurrence increased, while neonatal intensive care unit admissions and neonatal hypoglycaemia decreased in the ELA versus the NELA group (all p<0.05). With respect to other maternal and neonatal outcomes, both cohorts were similar.ConclusionsThe use of ELA decreases the rate of caesarean section and improves maternal and neonatal outcomes in nulliparous women with GDM.Trial registration numberChiCTR-2000033091.

Published: July 2022

IntroductionThe novel SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has provided a set of unique challenges for paediatric patients requiring emergency care across the globe. Reduction in paediatric emergency department (ED) usage during the COVID-19 pandemic has been widely reported, but no studies to date have consolidated and described what ramifications these reductions may have on neonatal and infant health. This scoping review aims to characterise the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on infant ED visits and neonatal and infant health.Methods and analysisA comprehensive literature search will be conducted from March 2020 to July 2022 using the following databases: Embase (Ovid), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), Medline (Ovid) and CINAHL (EBSCOhost). This scoping review will use a five-step framework to guide the selection, extraction and analysis of data from eligible studies, with an additional sixth step for clinical consultation. Studies in English reporting the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on infant ED visits, as well as neonatal and infant health, will be included for screening. Key findings will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews.Ethics and disseminationResearch ethics board approval will not be required due to the nature of the study design. The results of this scoping review will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presentation at academic conferences.

IntroductionCultural humility is becoming increasingly important in healthcare delivery. Recognition of power imbalances between clients and healthcare providers is critical to enhancing cross-cultural interactions in healthcare delivery. While cultural humility has been broadly examined in healthcare, knowledge gaps exist regarding its application in occupational therapy (OT) practice. This scoping review protocol aims to: (1) describe the extent and nature of the published health literature on cultural humility, including concepts, descriptions and definitions and practice recommendations, (2) map the findings from objective one to OT practice using the Canadian Practice Process Framework (CPPF), and (3) conduct a consultation exercise to confirm the CPPF mapping and generate recommendations for the practice of cultural humility in OT.Methods and analysisWe will search Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Ovid PsycINFO, Ebsco CINAHL Plus, ProQuest ASSIA, ProQuest Sociological Abstracts, ProQuest ERIC, WHO Global Index Medicus, and Web of Science databases. Published health-related literature on cultural humility will be included. There will be no restrictions on population or article type. Following deduplication on Endnote, the search results will undergo title, abstract, and full-text review by two reviewers working independently on Covidence. Extracted data will include descriptors of the article, context, population, and cultural humility. After descriptive extraction, data describing cultural humility-related content will be descriptively and interpretively analysed using an inductive thematic synthesis approach. The data will also be mapped to OT practice through deductive coding using the CPPF. Occupational therapists and clients will be consulted to further critique, interpret and validate the mapping and generate practice recommendations.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was not required for this scoping review protocol. We will disseminate the findings, which can enhance understanding of cultural humility in OT, facilitate cross-cultural encounters between occupational therapists and clients and improve care outcomes through publications and presentations.

Two homologous branched dodecaynes 1,3,5-{(4- tBu)[2,3-(RC≡C)2]Ph(C≡C–C≡C)}3Ph (2a, R = H; 2b, R = Ph) were synthesized and characterized in this work. According to steady-state spectroscopy, their electronic absorption and luminescent behaviors were investigated and compared. Simultaneously, as a typical structure of this class of dodecaynes, the molecular configuration of dodecayne 2a was depicted by density functional theory (DFT) simulation and the maximal absorption were supported by the subsequent TD-DFT calculations. In addition, the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission was also investigated. The experiment results showed that π-extended dodecayne 2b with more distorted trigonal–planar possessed strong and stable ECL emission, indicating that it has potential application in ECL and luminescence fields.
Stability analysis and optimization problem fractional of a predator–prey system with Holling II functional response
Authors: Bourega Abdeldjabar 
Published: August 2022

The Kolmogorov model has been applied to numerous organic and natural issues. We are especially inspired by one of its variations, that is, a Gauss-type hunter prey model that incorporates the allee impact and Holling type-II utilitarian reaction. Rather than utilizing exemplary first request differential conditions to figure the model, fragmentary request differential conditions are used. The presence and uniqueness of a nonnegative arrangement just as the conditions for the presence of balance focuses are given. We then, at that point, examine the neighborhood strength of the three sorts of harmony focuses by utilizing the linearization strategy. This paper manages an ideal control issue of a hunter prey framework with a Holling II useful reaction. The model viable joins an asylum ensuring [Formula: see text] of the prey and leaves ux of the prey accessible to the hunter, where [Formula: see text]. By using Pontryagin’s Most extreme Standard for partial, we concentrate on the ideal control issue viewing u as a control work.
A new interpretation for the Pliensbachian Cook Formation (northern North Sea) as north–south-prograding tidal deltas and shelf ridges in the Early Jurassic Seaway: new model of linkage to the Norwegian Sea
Authors: Folkestad Atle , Steel Ronald J. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The Lower Jurassic Cook Formation reservoir is a hydrocarbon-prolific unit that produces from several fields in the northern North Sea. For 40 years this formation has been interpreted as a westward-prograding deltaic unit sourced from Norway. Despite numerous discoveries, exploration targeting this unit has been hampered by well failures with lack of reservoir sand, discouraging companies from further exploration of this play.
During a current re-evaluation of the process sedimentology of the Norwegian offshore basins, the Cook Formation is now interpreted as the middle to distal reaches of a very large, north-to-south-oriented delta system, variably confined within the Early Jurassic Seaway running from the Norwegian Sea into the northern North Sea. The Cook Formation is a subaqueous delta built southward during regression, whereas several internal transgressive phases produced sands that were reworked as north–south-oriented, shelf tidal ridges. The tidal ridges of the Cook Formation constitute some of the best reservoirs and are elongated with stacked, well-sorted, cross-bedded sandstone sets with mudstone drapes. Both the elongate tidal sand-ridges and intervening mudstone-rich, inter-ridge zones are proven by numerous well observations and illustrated by seismic amplitudes. In contrast to earlier eastern derivation models, these new results for the depositional system of the Cook Formation better explain the Cook well successes and failures in the northern North Sea.
This work also strongly suggests that the tide-dominated subaqueous delta to transgressive-ridge system of the Cook Formation is spatially linked with the time-equivalent shorelines, subaerial tidal deltas and estuaries of the Tilje Formation in the Haltenbanken region to the north. The Tilje Formation deltas built into the Early Jurassic Seaway due to rift-initiation and rift-shoulder uplift, drained southwards and spilled eventually into the northern North Sea, becoming the entirely subaqueous Cook Formation. The relatively narrow seaway enhanced the tidal currents and suppressed wave activity, resulting in Cook subaqueous delta lobes and ridges without any delta-top facies. Overall, this elongate and extensive, Pliensbachian deltaic to estuarine system of the Early Jurassic Seaway off Norway competes in scale with some of Earth's largest present-day deltas.
Implementing Ability-Based Design: A Systematic Approach to Conceptual User Modeling

The notion of
Ability-Based Design
, put forth by Wobbrock et al. [

,
82
] as a solution to the challenge of creating accessible technology, has been discussed in human-computer interaction research now for over a decade. However, despite being cited as influential on various projects, the concept still lacks a general characterization of
how
to implement its required focus on abilities. In particular, it lacks a formulation of how to perceive and model users within an articulated design process. To address this shortcoming, we rely on conceptual user modeling to examine Ability-Based Design and propose a characterization of it that is not dependent upon a specific project or research effort but that enables the ability-based design of new technologies in a systematic manner. Our findings show that Ability-Based Design’s focus on abilities requires important changes in typical user modeling approaches that cannot be met with current techniques. Based on the challenges identified through our analysis, we propose a first modification not only of current user modeling but also of current requirements analysis approaches to address abilities and their intertwined dependencies with tasks and contexts as core elements of conceptual models in Ability-Based Design. We thereby demonstrate not only the complexity of modeling users’ abilities, but also draw out promising ideas and perspectives for future research, emphasizing the need for future evaluative work on our approach.
Reminiscences on Influential Papers

Published: July 2022

This column was established by Richard Snodgrass in 1998 and was continued by Ken Ross from 1999 to 2005. It celebrated one of the key aspects that makes us grow as a research community: the papers that influence us. At each issue, different members of the data management community wrote anecdotes about a paper that had a unique impact in their career. The anecdotes highlighted that impact can come in many forms. A paper's value is not only in its citation count, but also in the way it influences individuals who in turn influence other individuals that make up our community. Such impact is not countable.
When the SIGMOD Record's editor-in-chief Rada Chirkova approached me to revive this column last year, I was immediately excited. I would like to thank Rada Chirkova, Richard Snodgrass, and Ken Ross for this opportunity. I am delighted to present the three invited contributions for this issue. Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.
While I will keep inviting members of the data management community, and neighboring communities, to contribute to this column, I also welcome unsolicited contributions. Please contact me if you are interested.
Efficacy Analysis of Team-Based Nursing Compliance in Young and Middle-Aged Diabetes Mellitus Patients Based on Random Forest Algorithm and Logistic Regression
Authors: Qian Dongni , Gao Hong 
Published: July 2022

Objective. Long-term hyperglycemia in young and middle-aged diabetic patients can be complicated with diabetic ketoacidosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, infection, and other complications. The objective was to explore the application value of machine learning in predicting the recurrence risk of young and middle-aged diabetes patients with team-based nursing intervention. Methods. Clinical data of 80 patients with diabetes treated in the Department of Endocrinology from 2019 to 2020 were retrospectively collected. The data set was divided into 70% training set (

n

=56) and 30% test set (

n

=24). All the selected research cases were intervened by the team-based management mode involving family and clinical doctors and nurses. The degree of diabetes knowledge learning, the level of blood glucose changes, and the psychological state of the patients were evaluated. The random forest (RF) algorithm and logistic regression prediction model were constructed to predict the risk factors of diabetes recurrence. Results. There was no significant difference in the degree of diabetes knowledge learning, the level of blood glucose changes, and the psychological state between the training set and the test set (

P
>
0.05

). The FPG, HbA1c, and 2hPG of recurrence group patients were significantly higher than those of nonrecurrence group patients, and the difference was statistically significant (

P
<
0.05

). In descending order of importance based on the RF algorithm prediction model were glucose, BMI, age, insulin, pedigree function, skin thickness, and blood diastolic pressure. The accuracy of RF and logistic regression prediction models is 81.46% and 80.21%, respectively. Conclusion. The team-based nursing model has a good effect on the blood glucose control level of middle-aged and young diabetic patients. Age, BMI, and glucose values are risk factors for diabetes. The SF algorithm has a good effect on predicting the risk of diabetes, which is worthy of further clinical application.

Abstract

Purpose:
The incidence of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is higher among Black or African American (AA) women, yet they are underrepresented in clinical trials. To evaluate safety and efficacy of durvalumab concurrent with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for stage I–III TNBC by race, we enrolled additional AA patients to a Phase I/II clinical trial.

Patients and Methods:
Our study population included 67 patients. The primary efficacy endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR; ypT0/is, N0) rate. χ2 tests were used to evaluate associations between race and baseline characteristics. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess association between race and overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate associations between race and pCR, immune-related adverse events (irAE) and recurrence.

Results:
Twenty-one patients (31%) self-identified as AA. No significant associations between race and baseline tumor stage (P = 0.40), PD-L1 status (0.92), and stromal tumor–infiltrating lymphocyte (sTIL) count (P = 0.57) were observed. pCR rates were similar between AA (43%) and non-AA patients (48%; P = 0.71). Three-year EFS rates were 78.3% and 71.4% in non-AA and AA patients, respectively [HR, 1.451; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.524–4.017; P = 0.474]; 3-year OS was 87% and 81%, respectively (HR, 1.72; 95% CI, 0.481–6.136; P = 0.405). The incidence of irAEs was similar between AA and non-AA patients and no significant associations were found between irAEs and pathologic response.

Conclusions:
pCR rates, 3-year OS and EFS after neoadjuvant immunotherapy and chemotherapy were similar in AA and non-AA patients. Toxicities, including the frequency of irAEs, were also similar.

Published: August 2022

<span>Due to the rapid growth of urban vehicles, traffic congestion has become more serious. The signalized intersections are used all over the world and still established in the new construction. This paper proposes a self-adapted approach, called evolutionary reinforcement learning multi-agents system (ERL-MA), which combines computational intelligence and machine learning. The concept of this work is to build an intelligent agent capable of developing senior skills to manage the traffic light control system at any type of junction, using two powerful tools: learning from the confronted experience and the assumption using the randomization concept. The ERL-MA is an independent multi-agents system composed of two layers: the modeling and the decision layers. The modeling layer uses the intersection modeling using generalized fuzzy graph technique. The decision layer uses two methods: the novel greedy genetic algorithm (NGGA), and the Q-learning. In the Q-learning method, a multi Q-tables strategy and a new reward formula are proposed. The experiments used in this work relied on a real case of study with a simulation of one-hour scenario at Pasubio area in Italy. The obtained results show that the ERL-MA system succeeds to achieve competitive results comparing to urban traffic optimization by integrated automation (UTOPIA) system using different metrics.</span>
