Systematic Review of Fitbit Charge 2 Validation Studies for Exercise Tracking
Authors: Irwin Crista , Gary Rebecca 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT

Context
There are research-grade devices that have been validated to measure either heart rate (HR) by electrocardiography with a Polar chest strap or step count with ActiGraph accelerometer. However, wearable activity trackers that measure HR and steps concurrently have been tested against research-grade accelerometers and HR monitors with conflicting results. This review examines validation studies of the Fitbit Charge 2 (FBC2) for accuracy in measuring HR and step count and evaluates the device’s reliability for use by researchers and clinicians.

Design
This registered review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The risk-of-bias visualization (robvis) tool was used to assess the strength of each considered article.

Eligibility Criteria
Eligible articles published between 2018 and 2019 were identified using PubMed, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, Cochran, and World of Science databases and hand searches. All articles were HR and/or step count validation studies for the FBC2 in adult ambulatory populations.

Study Selection
Eight articles were examined in accordance with the eligibility criteria alignment and agreement among the authors and research librarian.

Main Outcome Measures
Concordance correlation coefficients (CCC) were used to measure agreement between the tracker and criterion devices. Mean absolute percent error (MAPE) was used to average the individual absolute percent errors.

Results
Studies that measured CCC found that agreement between the FBC2 and criterion devices ranged between 26% and 92% for HR monitoring, decreasing in accuracy as exercise intensity increased. Inversely, CCC increased from 38% to 99% for step count when exercise intensity increased. HR error between MAPE was 9.21% to 68% and showed more error as exercise intensity increased. Step measurement error MAPE was 12% for healthy persons aged 24–72 yr but was reported at 46% in an older population with heart failure.

Conclusions
Relative agreement with criterion and low-to-moderate MAPE were consistent in most studies reviewed and support validation of the FBC2 to accurately measure HR at low or moderate exercise intensities. However, more investigation controlling testing and measurement congruency is needed to validate step capabilities. The literature supports the validity of the FBC2 to accurately monitor HR, but for step count, it is inconclusive, so the device may not be suitable for recommended use in all populations.

Published: October 2022

Background: Research on the core features of emerging adulthood has disproportionately focused on students from four-year universities. Methods: Using data from the EAMMi2 project (Grahe et al., 2018), we assess whether the core features of emerging adulthood (as the age of possibilities, instability, identity explorations, and feeling in-between) vary between four-year university and community college students. We also explore how emerging adults compare on the need to belong and subjective well-being. Results: Four-year university students (N = 1,221) identified more strongly with the negativity/instability and feeling in-between dimensions of emerging adulthood than community college students (N = 300). Community college students, however, were higher on identity exploration, with no differences between the groups in identification with the experimentation/possibilities feature of emerging adulthood. Four-year students reported higher well-being and higher belonging needs compared to their counterparts at community colleges. Regardless of school type, experimentation/possibilities and feeling in-between predicted higher well-being whereas negativity/instability predicted lower well-being and higher belonging needs. Conclusion: These findings highlight nuance in the experiences of emerging adulthood, as evidenced by both some shared experiences and group-level differences.

HighlightsThe influencing factors of the fertilizer dropping time are determined by simulation.The relationship between the influencing factors and the fertilizer dropping time is explored on the VRF applicator.A new method is established to calculate the fertilizer dropping time.Abstract. Lag time is one of the main factors that affect the accuracy of the variable rate fertilizer (VRF) applicator. The key to correcting the impact of the lag time is to determine its influencing factors. This article focuses on the fertilizer dropping time, which is a part of the lag time, and hypothesizes that the rotational speed of the fluted roller, working length of the fluted roller, number of fertilizer particles, and the length of the fertilizer tube may affect the fertilizer dropping time. First, taking advantage of the simple and convenient setting of the working parameters and conditions of the simulation software, different working parameters were set by the EDEM software for simulation, and the simulation results were analyzed to determine that the rotational speed of the fluted roller and the length of the fertilizer tube are the main influencing factors of the fertilizer dropping time. Second, to explore the relationship between the two factors and the fertilizer dropping time in the actual work, experiments were performed on the VRF applicator. The experimental results are analyzed by ANOVA, and the analysis results show that: the correlation coefficient R2 between the rotational speed of the fluted roller and fertilizer dropping time is greater than 0.95, and there is a linear relationship between the factor and fertilizer dropping time; the fertilizer dropping time increases with increasing the length of the fertilizer tube. Finally, the rotation speed-the length of the fertilizer tube-fertilizer dropping time model was established through the multiple regression analysis. With the model, the fertilizer dropping time was accurately calculated according to the rotational speed of the fluted roller and the length of the fertilizer tube. The accuracy of the model is greater than 85%, which helps to calculate the fertilizer dropping time. This study helps to correct the lag distance by sending instructions in advance and improving the accuracy of the VRF applicator. Keywords: Fertilizer dropping time, Fertilizer tube, Rotation speed, VRF.
Potential of Dimensional Measurements of Individual Pellets for Evaluating Feed Pellet Quality

Published: October 2022

HighlightsPellet length but not width increased significantly with increasing inclusion of a pellet binder in a pelleted feedMachine vision capably and rapidly measures pellet lengthThe narrow range in pellet length measurements prevents its use as an effective discriminator of pellet qualityPellet durability index from aggressive pellet durability testing is the better discriminator of feed pellet qualityAbstract. Pellet durability index (PDI) detailed in ASAE Standard S269.4 (ASAE Standards, 2007) has been the widely accepted measure for pellet quality in the U.S. and, by extension, the measure for evaluating the effect of ingredients and pelleting process variables on the quality of pelleted feed products. The PDI is calculated as the mass percentage of intact pellets remaining after tumbling a 500 g sample in a tumbling can durability tester for 10 min. In the case where pellet quality is good, oftentimes the resulting PDI for different experimental treatments are very close in magnitude. In these situations, it is desirable to have another measurement that would allow for finer discrimination among treatments. It was hypothesized that the average linear dimensions of animal feed pellets in a unit mass sample would vary as a function of formulation and pelleting process variables for a consistent knife setting in the pellet mill. This hypothesis was tested in a study involving effectiveness testing of varying inclusion levels of a potential pellet binder in a typical corn-soy swine diet pelleted by both conventional and cold pelleting processes. Pellet lengths and diameters measured by a machine vision implemented in ImageJ matched to measurements taken manually and varied with treatments. Pellet length varied with treatments but could not be a good discriminator of pellet durability between pelleted products because of the narrow range in measurement numbers (8.53 to 11.15 mm by machine vision). With the wider range in numerical values of the PDIs obtained through aggressive durability testing (23.0% to 81.0% in a tumble can with steel hexagonal screw nuts versus 91.0% to 97.5% in a tumble can without hexagonal nuts), PDI from aggressive testing is the better discriminator of quality among pelleted products because of its greater resolution.

Published: October 2022

The wide span and high density of lines in its rovibrational spectrum render hydrogen cyanide a useful spectroscopic media for referencing absolute frequencies of lasers in optical communication and dimensional metrology. We determined, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, the molecular transitions’ center frequencies of the H13C14N isotope in the range from 1526 nm to 1566 nm with 1.3 × 10−10 fractional uncertainty. We investigated the molecular transitions with a highly coherent and widely tunable scanning laser that was precisely referenced to a hydrogen maser through an optical frequency comb. We demonstrated an approach to stabilize the operational conditions needed to maintain the constantly low pressure of the hydrogen cyanide to carry out the saturated spectroscopy with the third-harmonic synchronous demodulation. We demonstrated approximately a forty-fold improvement in the line centers’ resolution compared to the previous result.

Published: October 2022

Introduction
Health-promoting interventions at workplaces can be effective in modifying lifestyle-related behavioral risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, the interventions are not always successful in the real-world setting, and the evidence for effective strategies to implement the interventions has been limited. We propose a scoping review to identify the topics in need of study and areas for future research on barriers to and facilitators of the implementation of workplace health-promoting interventions.

Materials and methods
This scoping review will explore these issues from the perspective of supply-side stakeholders, who have a direct role in the implementation of these interventions. An electronic systematic search of MEDLINE (using PubMed), Web of Science, and Scopus databases from 1986 to 2022, in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, will be performed. Supplementary hand searching will be undertaken with reference lists from included articles and consulting with relevant stakeholders. Two authors will be responsible for individually screening the corresponding articles by first reading the titles and abstracts and then the full texts to assess whether they meet the inclusion criteria. Data extraction will be conducted using standardized data collection forms, and data analysis will be aligned to the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR), a determinant framework of factors affecting implementation, using a directed content analysis approach.

Discussion
We will present the findings from this review at national and international conferences and submit them to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Future workplace interventions will significantly benefit from this comprehensive scoping review to identify factors that enable improvement of the implementation, and the barriers to improvement, of evidence-based health-promoting interventions at workplaces.

Resumen

Objetivos
Cuantificar el impacto de la pandemia en la actividad asistencial de los laboratorios clínicos españoles.

Métodos
Estudio descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo y multicéntrico.

Resultados
De marzo a diciembre de 2020 hubo un descenso estadísticamente significativo en el número de solicitudes (−17.7%, p=<0,001) y análisis totales (−18,3%, p<0,001) respecto al mismo periodo de 2019. Se redujo el número de solicitudes de Atención Primaria en un 37,4% (p<0,001) y el número de mediciones de sangre oculta en heces (−45,8%), análisis cualitativo de orina (−30,1%), antígeno prostático específico (PSA) (−28,5%), tirotropina (TSH) (−27,8%), colesterol total (−27,2%) y hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c) (−24,7%), p<0,001. Se observó un aumento significativo del número de solicitudes de UCI (76,6%, p<0,001) y del número de mediciones de IL-6 (+22,350,9), dímero-D (+617,2%), troponina (+46,8%) y gasometría arterial (+35,9%), p<0,001. Durante los seis primeros meses de 2021, existieron diferencias significativas para análisis cualitativo de orina (−8,7%, p<0,001), PSA (−6,3%, p=0,009), IL-6 (+66.269,2, p<0,001), dímero-D (+603,6%, p<0,001), troponina (+28,7%, p<0,001), gasometría arterial (+26,2%, p=0,014) y ferritina (+16,0%, p=0,002).

Conclusiones
Los laboratorios clínicos españoles han sufrido un cambio en el origen de sus solicitudes y en la demanda de pruebas. Se han incrementado aquellas utilizadas en la evaluación y seguimiento de los pacientes COVID-19, y han disminuido las dirigidas al control de los pacientes no-COVID y a cribados poblacionales. El análisis a más largo plazo refleja una recuperación en las pruebas dirigidas al control de las enfermedades crónicas y se mantiene el aumento del número de mediciones de los biomarcadores utilizados en el manejo de los pacientes COVID-19.

Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Some hematological parameters were reported as markers to assess severity of COVID-19 patients. Comorbidities were risk factors for severe COVID-19. Differences in hematology profile based on severity and comorbidity, and correlation between hematology profile and Ct value were never studied at Makassar, Indonesia. The aim of this study were to know the differences of hematology profile based on severity and comorbidity, and the correlation between hematology profile and Ct value in COVID-19 patients.

Methods
This study was retrospective, cross-sectional of confirmed COVID-19 patients who had been hospitalized at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital, Makassar, since June to August 2020. Hematology profile, Ct value, comorbidity, and severity of COVID-19 patients were obtained from Hospital Information System Data.

Results
From 217 patients, subjects were 102 (47%) male dan 115 (53%) female, 127 mild-moderate patients (58.5%) and 90 severe patients (41.5%), 143 patients (65%) without comorbidity, 74 patients (35%) with comorbidity. White blood cells (WBC), red cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil and monocyte count, and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly higher in severe patients than mild-moderate patients (p<0.05), besides RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, lymphocyte and thrombocyte count were significantly lower in severe patients than mild-moderate patients (p<0.05). Hematology profile was not different significantly based on comorbidity and was not correlated significantly with Ct value, except eosinophil count (r=0.161; p=0.018).

Conclusions
We suggest that hematology profile could predict the severity of COVID-19 patients. Moreover, eosinophil count could be considered to predict the infectivity of patient with COVID-19.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this work, we proposed a simple SEIHR compartmental model to study and analyse the third wave of COVID-19 in India. In addition to the other features of the disease, we also consider the reinfection of recovered individuals in the model. For the purpose of parameter estimation we separate the infective and deaths classes and plot them against the cumulative counts of infective and deaths from data, respectively. The estimated parameters from these two are used for prediction and further numerical simulations.We note that the infective will keep on growing and only slow down after around three months. We have studied impact of various parameters on our model and observe that the parameters associated with mask usage, screening and the care giving toCOVID-19 patients have significant impact on the prevalence and time taken to slow down the infection.We conclude that better use of mask, effective screening and timely care to infective will reduce infective and can help in disease control. Our numerical simulations can explicitly provide a short term prediction for such time line. Also we note that providing better care facilities will help reducing peak as well as the disease burden of predicted infected cases.
Extended logistic map for encryption of digital images
Authors: Stanley Hanis , Ramachandran Amutha 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A novel extended logistic map has been proposed and tested mathematically for security-based applications. Because the designed extended logistic map behaves chaotically across a wide range of logistic control parameters, it is extremely difficult to predict using even the most exhaustive search methods. The map overcomes a significant drawback of simple logistic mapping, which is commonly used in encryption algorithms. The chaotic map designed was also used as a key to shuffle the pixel position of the image for the image shuffling algorithm developed. The algorithm developed produced excellent results and is adequate for providing an encrypted image in resource-constrained systems. Performance results show that this map is highly chaotic and provides high security when applied in image encryption systems.

Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objectives
We aimed to identify the origin of atypical diabetes in a family with four generations of diabetes from South Asia. The family members showed different clinical phenotypes. Members of generation one to three were presumed to have type 2 diabetes and generation four to have type 1 diabetes.

Case presentation
We performed a genetic analysis of the family using targeted high throughput sequencing.

Conclusions
We identified a novel nonsense variant in the neurogenic differentiation 1 (NEUROD1) gene, co-segregating with diabetes. The variant was located in the DNA-binding domain, altering a protein residue that was very well conserved among different species.
Migration und Diaspora in der Orthodoxie
Authors: Burlăcioiu Ciprian 
Published: October 2022

Zusammenfassung
Die Orthodoxie in Deutschland kann im engsten Sinne des Wortes als eine Migrationskirche betrachtet werden. Die religiöse Identität ihrer Mitglieder und die institutionelle Identität der einzelnen orthodoxen Diözesen baut sich im Raum zwischen der hiesigen Gesellschaft und der alten „Heimat“ im Sinne einer „Diaspora“ auf. Dabei sind verschiedene Prozesse am Werk, die diese Identität verändern können, ohne dass sie dadurch in die Heterodoxie abdriftet. Der Beitrag reflektiert über einige Umstände, die dazu führen und versucht, diese Veränderungen mit dem Begriff der „Hybridität“ zu erklären.
Migration aus interkultureller Sicht
Authors: Fischer Moritz 
Published: October 2022

Zusammenfassung
Migration impliziert stets interkulturelle Erfahrungen: auf der Seite der Migrierenden und auf der Seite der Residenzgesellschaft. Auch die christliche Religion entstand aufgrund wechselseitiger migrantischer Erfahrungen. Hier wird in drei Schritten untersucht, was das für das zeitgenössische, von interkulturellen Dynamiken herausgeforderte Christentum in Deutschland bedeutet: 1. Migration ist, interkulturell-theologisch gesehen, der Normalfall – längerfristige Residenz eher die Ausnahme. 2. Vom Skandal der sich robust innerkulturell einigelnden Volkskirchen. 3. Ende des klassischen Christentums in Deutschland – oder interkultureller Aufbruch durch konfessionelle Grenzöffnungen?
Migration aus religionssoziologischer Sicht im Spiegel interreligiöser Gemeindeforschung
Authors: Körs Anna 
Published: October 2022

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag begründet eine empirische interreligiöse Gemeindeforschung als ein wichtiges Desiderat religionssoziologischer Forschung. Dazu wird gezeigt, dass interreligiöse Kontakte ein relevantes Phänomen in einer zunehmend migrationsgeprägten, religiös pluralen Gemeindelandschaft sind. Diese ergeben sich jedoch nicht automatisch, sondern werden von der Position im religiösen Feld sowie der Integration der Gemeinde in die Gesellschaft beeinflusst und sind zu entwickeln und zu gestalten, wozu es weiterer Kenntnisse bedarf.
Migration – Konfessionelle und interkulturelle Dynamiken
Authors: Pickel Gert 
Published: October 2022

Zusammenfassung
Migration beschäftigt Religionen schon länger. Bereits früh dienten religiöse Konflikte als Push-Faktoren oder religiöse Gemeinschaften als Pull-Faktoren für Migrationsbewegungen. Heute bringen Migrationsprozesse religiöse Pluralisierung nach Europa. Diese ist eine interreligiöse und interkulturelle Herausforderung für die Konfessionskunde und erfordert eine Erweiterung bisheriger interkonfessioneller und ökumenischer Perspektiven.
Is It Right to Fight? Evidence from Russia and Ukraine
Authors: Farzanegan Mohammad Reza , Fischer Sven 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
We study the acceptability of war under certain conditions across individuals from Russia and Ukraine on the basis of World Values Survey in 2011. The period of analysis is before the beginning of military confrontations between the two countries (which started with the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014). We discuss which socio-economic, political and individual characteristics shape the justification of war under certain conditions. Overall, the acceptance of war is relatively low in both countries. Using logistic regressions, we found that there are characteristics that significantly reduce the justification of war in both countries, such as gender and level of happiness. Support in both countries is also significantly larger among respondents who are interested in politics and are married. Additionally, there are conditions which produce different results between the countries, such as religiosity, country aims, employment, confidence in the government, concern over possible war and political orientation.
