Published: April 2022

BackgroundSocial isolation has been recommended for reducing older adults' mortality and severe cases of COVID illness. That has resulted in unavoidable consequences of mental ill‐health. This study aimed to examine the impact of the COVID‐19 lockdown on the development of loneliness and depression and to analyse the factors associated with these conditions among community‐dwelling older adults in Jordan.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey was conducted with a random sample of 456 community older adults contacted by telephone three weeks after the first pandemic lockdown in April 2020. The study instrument included the screening three‐item UCLA Loneliness Scale, the Geriatric Depression Scale, and relevant medical and functional history.ResultsThe mean age was 72.48 ± 6.84 years, and 50.2% were women. 41.4% were lonely, and of those 62% had a positive screen for depression. The mean UCLA score was significantly higher during the lockdown than before. Loneliness was significantly associated with being unmarried, having never worked previously, and being functionally dependent. Lonely participants were 1.65 times more likely to have depression. Likewise, a previous history of depression and cognitive impairment, multimorbidity, poor self‐perceived health, and concern about contracting COVID infection were significant predictors of depression.ConclusionThe COVID‐19 pandemic has had a heavy toll on older adults' mental health, particularly those with multimorbidity, baseline functional dependence, and those with a previous history of depression and cognitive impairment. Targeting these high‐risk groups is important in order to minimize loneliness, depression, and subsequent increased morbidity. Using all‐inclusive language might minimize ageism and the fear of catching an infection.

AbstractTheological education—and society more broadly—stands critically ‘between the times’. Contemporary theological education exists between traditional modes of formation implicitly shaped by western colonialism and an uncertain future occasioned by seismic shifts around funding, admissions, ecologies of formation, and globalization. This ‘between the times’ moment both threatens the survival of theological education institutes and also unveils the historic and ongoing complicity of theological education in the wider racist colonial legacies of white privilege and hegemony. The same ‘in between’ moment also proffers to theological education the possibility to embrace diverse voices and transformative pedagogies within theological education as part of decolonization and decolonizing the curriculum. Embracing decolonizing theology will both save the soul of theological education and may help it survive through embracing collaborative, creative, and intersectional models of education that meet pragmatic needs as well as moral imperatives. This article explores three publications by Elizabeth Conde‐Frazier, Keri Day, and Chloe Sun that offer Latinx, womanist, and Asian theological perspectives on decolonizing theology in this ‘between the times’ moment of theological education. Setting out first the ecclesial and then the wider political contexts of these three works, the article examines how they imagine new decolonized possibilities for theological education. Following Graham Ward, the article develops how all three authors in their own ways argue that decolonizing theology and theological education entails ‘provincializing’ the (white) western context as normative, ‘translating’ or ‘transplanting’ theology back into culturally authentic discourses that contend meaning and deconstruct white power, and positively ‘affirming’ the varied cultural identities in which theological meaning is located.

AbstractUnderstanding the shopping motivations behind market baskets has significant commercial value for the grocery retail industry. The analysis of shopping transactions demands techniques that can cope with the volume and dimensionality of grocery transactional data while delivering interpretable outcomes. Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) allows processing grocery transactions and the discovering of customer behaviours. Interpretations of topic models typically exploit individual samples overlooking the uncertainty of single topics. Moreover, training LDA multiple times show topics with large uncertainty, that is, topics (dis)appear in some but not all posterior samples, concurring with various authors in the field. In response, we introduce a clustering methodology that post-processes posterior LDA draws to summarise topic distributions represented as recurrent topics. Our approach identifies clusters of topics that belong to different samples and provides associated measures of uncertainty for each group. Our proposed methodology allows the identification of an unconstrained number of customer behaviours presented as recurrent topics. We also establish a more holistic framework for model evaluation, which assesses topic models based not only on their predictive likelihood but also on quality aspects such as coherence and distinctiveness of single topics and credibility of a set of topics. Using the outcomes of a tailored survey, we set thresholds that aid in interpreting quality aspects in grocery retail data. We demonstrate that selecting recurrent topics not only improves predictive likelihood but also outperforms interpretability and credibility. We illustrate our methods with an example from a large British supermarket chain.

AbstractAimTo assess the influence of virtual reality (VR) in parent acceptance of the pre‐surgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) as a pre surgical care to the cleft lip and palate affected infants.Material and MethodsDescriptive Cross sectional pilot study design was planned to assess the pre surgical management of the cleft lip and palate. Twenty parents/caregivers of the infants were randomly divided into two groups. Twelve participants received education through conventional education module (Group I) using verbal explanation supported by the photographs. Another 12 participants received education through customized VR based educational video (Group II). After the education, the parents were provided with questionnaire to assess the acceptance of the treatment procedure. The survey response rate was represented in percentage.ResultsThe results of the study indicated that most of the parents were aware of the feeding plate or obturators as an aid in assisting feeding practices among cleft lip and palate affected infants. However, only 33% of participants in Group I were able to understand the doctor's explanation regarding the PNAM whereas 100% of participants in Group II were able to visualize the benefits of PNAM. These participants were willingly accepting PNAM as essential pre‐surgical care.ConclusionInnovative approaches are essential in patient education modalities as the success of any treatment outcome largely depends on the patient acceptance. Within the limits of this study, VR has been successful in the educating the parents and caregivers regarding the acceptance of PNAM therapy in cleft affected infants.

Published: April 2022

AbstractAimsPoor oral health is a risk factor for aspiration pneumonia (AP), especially in elderly patients at risk of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). In Portugal, available tools to screen oral problems in nursing homes are scarce. The oral health assessment tool (OHAT) is a screening tool that assesses elderly residents’ oral health. This study aims to translate and validate the tool for the European Portuguese (EP) context.MethodsThe original version was translated into EP throughout a forward‐backward translation process. An instruction manual was created. Content of both documents were assessed by a panel of eight experts. The content validity Index was calculated. A reliability study was conducted in three nursing homes by two speech and language therapists in two different moments, separated by 48 h.ResultsA sample of 30 institutionalized elderly with a mean age of 77 years was analyzed. The EP version and its instruction manual presented a content validity Index greater than 0.88 in all its items. Total scores showed excellent inter‐rater and good intra‐rater results.ConclusionThe EP version showed to be a reliable and valid tool for the screening of oral health conditions of institutionalized older adults at risk of OD.
Can end‐user feedback inform ‘Responsibilisation’ of India's policy landscape for agri‐digital transition?*
Authors: Kumar Anupam , Basu Soutrik 
Published: April 2022

AbstractAgrarian transformations are imagined globally through digital agriculture. Most ambitious agrarian plans in India also identify the application of digital technologies to drive the next agro‐food revolution. However, the concerns around the ‘soft impacts’ of the agri‐digital transition, including socioethical concerns and farmers’ perceptions, have received relatively little attention among innovators and policymakers. Thus, through a combination of qualitative content analysis and topic modelling, this article studies end‐user feedback on smart farming apps in India. Emerging themes from the feedback analysis inform an understanding of the attributes of responsibilisation in policies through which agri‐digitalisation is being planned and introduced. The main findings indicate that agri‐digital innovations need to be inclusive of nonhegemonic vernaculars, responsive to farmers’ data privacy and ownership considerations and focus on producing simple, actionable insights for farmers instead of bombarding them with conflicting ideas. At the policy level, this article argues that the Indian policy landscape needs to be reformed substantially. This further suggests that India may need a new institutional architecture to manage the digital transition in agriculture.
Clinical Teaching Fellows, the new norm?—Experiences of fellows and education faculty
Authors: Couchman Dan , Donnachie Douglas , Tarr Jo , Bull Stephanie 
Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundIn the United Kingdom, there is an increasing tendency for doctors in the first 2 years after graduation, to step off the training pathway and take up Clinical Teaching Fellow (CTF) positions. We aimed to explore stakeholder experiences of CTF positions to inform future planning and support.MethodsIndividual semi‐structured interviews with 10 stakeholders (five CTFs and five education faculty members) from one institution in England were conducted. Interviews explored the participants' views of the CTF position, its benefits and challenges. Inductive thematic analysis was performed.ResultsCTFs and education faculty views strongly aligned and three themes were identified. These were (1) developing a career, (2) developing confidence and competence as a clinical teacher and (3) developing a position that works for all. Participants reported that the CTF position allowed time for specialty decision making and curriculum‐vitae strengthening and provide CTFs with the opportunity to work autonomously and to establish a better work–life balance by stepping away from training pressures and focusing on other aspects of life. There were differing thoughts on how the position should be structured, although retaining a clinical role with boundaries to constrain competing responsibilities was important.ConclusionA brief hiatus in clinical training, where individuals feel supported to progress personally and professionally and to renew their energy for the next steps of clinical training, seems important. The ideologies of providing the CTFs with autonomy, time to explore options, recharge and form connections with colleagues should be considered when structuring the posts.
Feasibility study of student telehealth interviews
Authors: Zaccariah Zara R. , Irvine Alison W. , Lefroy Janet E. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe COVID‐19 pandemic has led to medical students being taught remote clinical communication modalities (telephone and video). Junior students have not generally been included in this and have had less patient contact than previously. This study aimed to examine the feasibility from the junior student viewpoint of conducting both modalities of patient telehealth interviews.MethodsAn electronic questionnaire was used to discover Year 1 student reasons for their preferred modality after they had conducted one telephone and one video interview in pairs with a patient volunteer. Student views on the challenge and benefits of each were also sought.FindingsA total of 55 (32.7% of the cohort) responded, of whom 82% preferred video consultation, 75.6% of those stating being able to see their patient/partner was a key factor. About 5% preferred telephone interview, and 13% had no preference. Telephone interviews were perceived as the more challenging (40% versus 12.7%); however, challenge did not directly link with lack of comfort. There were some technical/connectivity issues with both modalities, and the telephone call system was more complex to set up. Turn‐taking was more difficult by telephone without visual cues.DiscussionThis is the first direct comparison study in junior medical students of real patient interviews by video or telephone. Students embraced the challenge and, although preferring video and finding telephone more challenging, valued each as an educational experience.ConclusionsTelehealth interviews with patients for junior students are feasible, give needed patient exposure, practical insights into remote modalities and consolidate communication skills learnt in the classroom.
Cities in Castells' Theorising of Social Space
Authors: Taylor Peter J. , Derudder Ben 
Published: April 2022

AbstractManuel Castells has been a leading figure in urban studies since the 1970s and is widely acclaimed for combining Marxist theoretical thinking with practical policy proposals. As a social theorist, his particular focus on the spatiality of cities has led to him becoming very influential in urban geography as specifically evidenced by his two invited papers in TESG in 1993 and 2002. In this paper, we develop an ontological critique of Castells' employing the mainstream position that cities reflect the nature of the societies that encompasses them, whereas we consider cities as the makers of their encompassing society. The TESG papers are broadly reviewed by contrasting their governance/policy approach with Jane Jacobs' economics/development approach. This critique does not diminish our appreciation for Castells' contribution to urban studies, rather the ontological critique is used as a tool for providing clarity of scholarship, not another episode of academic squabbling in urban studies.
A framework for social media information flow analytics in cyberspace and physical space
Authors: Li Manqi , He Xiaoyu , Sun Zhuo , Wen Yongning 
Published: April 2022

AbstractCommunication in online social media naturally forms information flow from senders to receivers. With the proliferation of location‐aware social media services such as Twitter, information flow shaped on these platforms is becoming more deeply and extensively embedded in the physical world. Therefore, growing interest has been raised in discovering the spatiotemporal patterns of information flow in location‐aware social media, aiming for a holistic understanding of the social dynamics in the nested cyber and physical world. This article addresses this interest by proposing a framework for information flow analytics based on a spatiotemporal clustering method designed for large data streams with location information. The framework was implemented as an open‐source tool, and its performance was examined by two case studies using Twitter data streams. It is suggested that this framework has well addressed the new requirements and challenges arising from social media data streams, effectively visualized information flow on maps, and demonstrated its feasibility of supporting downstream spatiotemporal analysis and applications.

AbstractBackgroundThe standard cryoprotectant for human cellular products is dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which is associated with hematopoietic cell infusion‐related adverse events (HCI‐AEs) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation including peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation (PBSCT). DMSO is often used with hydroxyethyl starch (HES), which reduces DMSO concentration while maintaining the postthaw cell recovery. The cryoprotectant medium CP‐1 (Kyokuto Pharmaceutical Industrial) is widely used in Japan. After mixture of a product with CP‐1, DMSO and HES concentrations are 5% and 6%, respectively. However, the safety profile of CP‐1 in association with HCI‐AEs has not been investigated.Study Design and MethodsTo compare CP‐1 with other cryoprotectants, we conducted a subgroup analysis of PBSCT recipients in a prospective surveillance study for HCI‐AEs. Moreover, we validated the toxicity of CP‐1 in 90 rats following various dose administration.ResultsThe PBSC products cryopreserved with CP‐1 (CP‐1 group) and those with other cryoprotectants, mainly 10% DMSO (non‐CP‐1 group), were infused into 418 and 58 recipients, respectively. The rate of ≥grade 2 HCI‐AEs was higher in the CP‐1 group, but that of overall or ≥grade 3 HCI‐AEs was not significantly different, compared to the non‐CP‐1 group. Similarly, after propensity score matching, ≥grade 2 HCI‐AEs were more frequent in the CP‐1 group, but the ≥grade 3 HCI‐AE rate did not differ significantly between the groups. No significant toxicity was detected regardless of the CP‐1 dose in the 90 rats.ConclusionsInfusion of a CP‐1‐containing PBSC product is feasible with the respect of HCI‐AEs.
Optimized Phonon Band Discretization Scheme for Efficiently Solving the Nongray Boltzmann Transport Equation
Authors: Hu Yue , Shen Yongxing , Bao Hua 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is an important tool for studying the nanoscale thermal transport. Because phonons have a large spread in their properties, the nongray (i.e., considering different phonon bands) phonon BTE is needed to accurately capture the nanoscale transport phenomena. However, BTE solvers generally require large computational cost. Nongray modeling imposes significant additional complexity on the numerical simulations, which hinders the large-scale modeling of real nanoscale systems. In this work, we address this issue by a systematic investigation on the phonon band discretization scheme using real material properties of four representative materials, including silicon, gallium arsenide, diamond, and lead telluride. We find that the schemes used in previous studies require at least a few tens of bands to ensure the accuracy, which requires large computational costs. We then propose an improved band discretization scheme, in which we divide the mean free path domain into two subdomains, one on either side of the inflection point of the mean free path accumulated thermal conductivity, and adopt the Gauss–Legendre quadrature for each subdomain. With this scheme, the solution of the phonon BTE converges (error &lt; 1%) with less than ten phonon bands for all these materials. The proposed scheme allows significantly reducing the time and memory consumption of the numerical BTE solver, which is an important step toward large-scale phonon BTE simulations for real materials.
Reducing Full-Field Residual Stress of Girth Weld With Thick Wall by Combining Local PWHT and Water Jet Peening
Authors: Luo Yun , Zhang Qian , Zheng Hong-Xiang , Jiang Wenchun 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
In this paper, a new controlling method combined local postweld heat treatment (PWHT) and water jet peening (WJP) was proposed to reduce full-field residual stress of girth weld with thick wall. The finite element analysis with sequential coupling method and experiment measurement were performed to study the residual stresses distribution before and after the new controlling method. The results show that the hoop and axial stresses through the thickness are all decreased greatly by using the new controlling method. As long as the new controlling method is used with appropriate parameters, the residual stresses on inner surface can be reduced from tensile stresses to compressive stresses, which greatly improve the resistance ability to stress corrosion of inner surface.
