Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in a total upending of our daily lives. While anxiety and depression were frequently reported among the general population, the pandemic’s impact on patients with mental health problems remains unknown. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey involving 1,166 patients was conducted at one psychiatric hospital and one mental health clinic. Results: Symptom deterioration was reported in 23% to 34% of the patients and 9% to 20% reported increase in drug dosage. No significant differences were reported in these items among diagnostic categories. Patients with F3 (mood disorders) reported more psychological stress during the pandemic’s beginning and during the emergency. Patients with F2 (schizophrenia, schizotypal, and delusional disorders) did online shopping and meetings less frequently, and reported poorer adherence of 3C’s, while mask management was stricter in patients with F4 (neurotic, stress-related, and somatoform disorders). Symptom deterioration was significantly associated with increase in drug dosage, new physical symptoms, anxiety unrelated to COVID-19, stress at the beginning of pandemic, stress during the ‘state of emergency’, poor adaptability to environmental change, daily life changes, decrease in sleeping time, and decrease in time spent outside. Conclusion: One third of patients reported symptom deterioration during the pandemic, which was associated with stress and daily life changes. Patients with good adaptability to environmental changes might resilient against symptom deterioration. Providing continuous support to help patients manage their daily life in this COVID-19 era may minimize the risk of symptom deterioration.
Rethinking the Role of Religion in Orlando Fals Borda’s Ideas of Social Change, 1948–1970
Authors: Díaz-Arévalo Juan Mario 
Published: June 2022

Scholars of the renowned Colombian sociologist and cofounder of participatory action research Orlando Fals Borda (1925–2008) have generally acknowledged that both his Presbyterian upbringing and his friendship with the Catholic priest Camilo Torres strongly influenced his thinking and writing. An examination of the way this religious background appears in his early academic writing both extends and refines this more conventional view by considering how his involvement in religious matters influenced his understanding of what social change was and hence of his role as a sociologist committed to it. Analysis of the complex network of knowledges and relations articulated with regard to Fals Borda’s involvement with religious matters during a crucial stage of his intellectual history sheds light on the close relation between ethics, social research, and politics at the basis of participatory action research. Estudiosos del reconocido sociólogo colombiano y co-fundador de la investigación acción participativa Orlando Fals Borda (1925–2008) suelen reconocer que tanto su educación presbiteriana como su amistad con el sacerdote católico Camilo Torres influyeron fuertemente en su pensamiento y escritura. Una investigación de la forma en que este trasfondo religioso aparece en su escritura académica temprana extiende y refina esta percepción un tanto convencional al considerar cómo su participación en asuntos religiosos influyó en su comprensión de lo que implicaba el cambio social y, por lo tanto, de su papel como sociólogo comprometido. El análisis de la compleja red de conocimientos y relaciones articuladas en torno a la participación de Fals Borda en asuntos religiosos durante un período crucial de su historia intelectual arroja lluz sobre la estrecha relación entre la ética, la investigación y la política que forma la base de la investigación acción participativa.

Radiative cooling has been demonstrated as an effective way to reduce building energy consumption especially for the recently developed diurnal radiative cooling materials. The most convenient application of radiative cooling materials is configured as the cool roofs. However, cool roofs will produce cooling energy throughout the year which will lead to the increase of heating penalty in the heating season. This phenomenon will offset part of the cooling benefit from radiative cooling. The ventilated roofs are also commonly employed in buildings for achieving energy-saving by reducing the heat gain from the roof to the building. To reduce the influence of radiative cooling in the heating season, a radiative cooling-based ventilated roof (RCVR) is proposed in this study by integrating the ventilated roof with the radiative cooling-based cool roof. The process of the heat transfer through RCVR is analyzed, and the simplified heat transfer model is developed. And then the effect of RCVR configuration on the room temperature is discussed in detail through CFD simulation. Finally, the annual electricity consumption of the building with RCVR is derived using EnergyPlus. The results show that the annual comprehensive performance of RCVR is superior to the cool roof and original roof since the total annual electricity consumption of the building with RCVR can be decreased by 21.8% and 16.9% compared with that of cool roof and original roof. Practical application: A radiative cooling-based ventilated roof (RCVR) is proposed by integrating the ventilated roof with the radiative cooling-based cool roof. The results show that the annual comprehensive performance of RCVR is superior to the cool roof and original roof. This study can provide the guiding significance for the application of RCVR, in which the building energy consumption can be further decreased for the application of radiative cooling in buildings.
Mothers and Children Doing Mathematics Together: Implications for Teacher Learning
Authors: Civil Marta , Quintos Beatriz 
Published: June 2022

Background/Context: There is much to understand about how parents and children interact around mathematics, particularly with families whose home language is different from the children’s main language of schooling. Families of immigrant origin are likely to bring experiences and knowledge that may be different from what their children’s schools expect or value. Educators can benefit greatly from a better understanding of these experiences and the nature of the parent–child mathematical interactions. Purpose/Focus of Study: Learning about and from the nature of parent–child mathematical interactions can support the in-school learning of mathematics of bilingual children. We use positioning theory to explore the question, “What are the positions in parent–child interactions during mathematics tasks?” Setting: The context for our study is workshops designed to engage families in explorations of mathematical tasks from the school curriculum, with a focus on conceptual understanding and problem-solving. The workshops were bilingual; most parents were of Mexican origin and had Spanish as their primary language, while their children were being taught in English at school. The workshops built on two related theoretical concepts: funds of knowledge and parents as intellectual resources. Research Design: This study focuses on interactions between parents and children around mathematics. We did a purposeful selection of video clips from the workshop recordings. In this article, we focus on two cases that present two different contexts, a game situation and a more school-like mathematics activity. We used positioning theory to interpret how the mothers and children related with each other and therefore interactively positioned themselves and each other. Findings: In both cases, mothers and daughters held the position of knowledge holders, and their positions changed in moment-to-moment interactions. Also, while at times, the mothers exerted a position of authority as mothers, they did not use this position to impose their views; rather, they engaged with their daughters in the learning process. The mothers and their daughters drew on their everyday ways of being (e.g., playfulness, translanguaging) in their mathematical interactions. The interactions showed instances of co-learning, that is, adapting and learning from each other. Conclusions/Recommendations: The mothers and daughters in this study drew on their everyday ways of being, including their cultural and linguistic funds of knowledge, during the mathematical interactions. Teachers can improve their practice by learning about these interactions. It is important to explore how educators can develop co-learning environments in the classroom that support collaborative sense-making.
COVID-19 distress and interdependence of daily emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, and loneliness in cohabiting couples

Published: June 2022

Introduction: COVID-19 has had a profound impact on relationship functioning, though effects have been heterogeneous. Reasons for divergent effects on relationship functioning remain unclear. Theoretical models suggest that it is not just stress exposure that leads to adverse relationships outcomes, but also subjective response to these stressors. Using data from a 14-day intensive longitudinal study of romantic dyads, we hypothesized that COVID-19-related distress would adversely impact one’s own and one’s partner’s report of relationship functioning, on average. Interdependence at the trait level (random effects between couples) and day level (residuals within couples) was also examined. Methods: Participants were 104 female-male romantic couples cohabiting the New York metropolitan area ( M age = 28.86, SD age = 7.69) between August 2020 – April 2021. Couples reported COVID-19 distress during a baseline interview and daily relationship functioning for 14 days. Multilevel models were specified for six outcomes simultaneously: female and male partner daily physical intimacy, emotional intimacy, and loneliness. Interrelationships of the intercepts of the six outcomes were specified, reflecting trait-level associations of each partner’s stable outcome tendencies. Interrelationships of the daily residuals of the six outcomes were also specified, reflecting within-couple associations at the daily level. Results: Female partner COVID-19 distress was inversely associated with her own emotional and physical intimacy and positively associated with her own and her partner’s loneliness. Male COVID-19 distress was associated with his own loneliness only. There was significant interdependence at both levels, such that greater loneliness in either partner was associated with less intimacy in each member of the couple. Discussion: Only one partner effect for COVID-19 distress emerged, such that female partner distress was associated with male partner loneliness; however, trait- and day-level interdependence suggested that distress may adversely impact relational well-being over time. Future studies should examine reciprocal relationships between COVID-19-related distress and relationship functioning.

Introduction Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has become a support modality for patients with acute respiratory failure refractory to standard therapies. VV ECMO has been increasingly used during the current COVID-19 pandemic for patients with refractory respiratory failure. The object of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of VV ECMO in patients with COVID-19 compared to patients with non-COVID-19 viral infections. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all patients supported with VV ECMO between 8/2014 and 8/2020 whose etiology of illness was a viral pulmonary infection. The primary outcome of this study was to evaluate in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes included length of ECMO course, ventilator duration, hospital length of stay, incidence of adverse events through ECMO course. Results Eighty-nine patients were included (35 COVID-19 vs 54 non-COVID-19). Forty (74%) of the non-COVID-19 patients had influenza virus. Prior to cannulation, COVID-19 patients had longer ventilator duration (3 vs 1 day, p = .003), higher PaCO2 (64 vs 53 mmHg, p = .012), and white blood cell count (14 vs 9 ×103/μL, p = .004). Overall in-hospital mortality was 33.7% ( n = 30). COVID-19 patients had a higher mortality (49% vs. 24%, p = .017) when compared to non-COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 survivors had longer median time on ECMO than non-COVID-19 survivors (24.4 vs 16.5 days p = .03) but had a similar hospital length of stay (HLOS) (41 vs 48 Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenationdays p = .33). Conclusion COVID-19 patients supported with VV ECMO have a higher mortality than non-COVID-19 patients. While COVID-19 survivors had significantly longer VV ECMO runs than non-COVID-19 survivors, HLOS was similar. This data add to a growing body of literature supporting the use of ECMO for potentially reversible causes of respiratory failure.

Introduction The aim of this study is to propose a typology of recidivism risk profiles based on the criminogenic needs of a population of men sentenced for sexual violence. Their socio-demographic, criminological, psychological, and psychiatric factors and vulnerabilities are compared. This classification will respond to the need for a better identification of the factors involved in the risk of recidivism of men sentenced for sexual violence, in order to develop more effective management. Method Several psychological and psychiatric scales (personality traits, impulsivity, cognitive distortions, empathy, and psychiatric disorders) were completed by 86 men incarcerated for sexual violence. Their socio-demographic and criminological characteristics were also recorded, and the investigator rated three recidivism scales for all participants. Results: Cluster analysis led to identification of two significantly different needs groups. In contrast to the “Lower needs” profile ( n = 54, 64%), the men with a “Higher needs” profile ( n = 32, 36%) were significantly younger and less educated had more adult and extra-familial victims, scored higher on Neuroticism and lower on Conscientiousness and Empathy, and presented with more past and current psychiatric disorders. Discussion The overall findings of this study are consistent with the literature on the characteristics of men sentenced for sexual violence with high needs. The assessment and management of men who have committed sexual violence must consider: criminogenic factors, which should be prioritized; past or present psychiatric disorders, which may act as acute risk factors; and non-criminogenic needs, which should not be prioritized, but which may (when linked to criminogenic needs) impact the effectiveness of management.

Objective Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects older individuals and can cause sexual dysfunction (SD). SD is a determinant of general well-being; but is infrequently assessed in professionally. The Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) measures SD; unlike other scales, it is minimally invasive and requires little time to complete. This review aimed to assess the prevalence of SD in patients with PD using ASEX. Methods Were searched the keywords, "sexual dysfunction,” "Parkinson’s disease" and "ASEX" in 9 databases. Results The prevalence of SD ranged from 65%–90%. SD was associated with older age at disease onset, higher Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale scores, age and depression ( p ranged from .001 to <.05). The most observed SD was erectile dysfunction in men. Conclusion SD is common among patients with PD. ASEX, although not specific to PD, is an easy and quickly applied tool that can help evaluate SD and guide treatments in PD.

Background: Daily pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) regimen of tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) tablet is the standard of care for HIV prevention in Thailand. Event-driven PrEP (ED-PrEP), taking two loading pills 2–24 h prior to sex and two doses afterward, is considered an alternative regimen. This pilot study aimed to describe accuracy of and retention in ED-PrEP use among Thai young men who have sex with men (YMSM). Methods: A cohort of YMSM aged 15–19 years at risk of HIV infection, defined as reporting irregular condom use or having an HIV-positive sexual partner, was enrolled. All participants were provided oral TDF/FTC, condoms, and the “Raincoat” mobile application, which reminds users when to administer ED-PrEP. Participants attended clinic visits at Months 1, 3, and 6 and followed up by phone at Months 2, 4, and 5. Proper use of ED-PrEP was reported in person-months. Results: From August 2020 to July 2021, 36 YMSM with a median age of 18.7 (IQR, 17.5–19.4) years were enrolled. Thirty-two participants (88.9%, 95% CI: 73.9–96.9%) were retained at 6 months. No HIV incidence occurred during this study period. Of 197 person-months of follow-up, 69 (35%) involved sexual activity. In this group, 61% used ED-PrEP correctly. “Unplanned sexual activity” was the most commonly cited reason for incorrect use. Conclusions: YMSM who have infrequent sex had very high retention in ED-PrEP. However, about one-third of the sexually active period, ED-PrEP was not used correctly due to not taking the loading dose, suggesting that this regimen may not be suitable for unanticipated sexual activity.

Published: June 2022

Objectives We conducted a systematic review with metanalysis to investigate the utility of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) in diagnosing infections in hospitalized patients with SLE. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov , and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) with a search strategy developed by a medical librarian. We included retrospective, cross-sectional, case-control, and prospective studies in our analysis. We used the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Studies (QUADAS-2) to assess for bias and applicability. We obtained mean differences, sensitivities, and specificities in our analysis. Results We included 26 studies in our analysis. Most studies had an unclear or high risk of bias and our results were widely heterogenous. For the diagnosis of infections, the CRP had a pooled sensitivity of 0.75 (95%CI 0.57-0.94) and specificity of 0.72 (0.59-0.85), PCT had a pooled sensitivity of 0.68 (95% CI 0.0.59–0.77) and specificity of 0.75 (0.59–0.90), and for ESR pooled estimates were not calculated but sensitivity ranged from 50 to 69.8 and specificity from 38.5 to 55.6. Modifying cut-offs improved sensitivities and specificities. The ESR, CRP, and PCT mean differences were all greater in infection groups versus non-infection (10.1, 95% CI 3.2–17.0; 46.8, 95% CI 36.5–57.0; 0.53, 95% CI 0.26–0.80; respectively). Discussion Poor sensitivities and specificities were observed for the evaluated biomarkers with substantial heterogeneity in the cut-offs used to determine infection. Although mean biomarker values were increased in the infection group compared with the non-infection, our findings do not support the widespread use of ESR, CRP, or PCT in diagnosing infection in hospitalized patients with SLE due to increased heterogeneity and risk of bias. Further investigation is needed.
