Robustness of optic-fiber-based weak-value amplification against amplitude-type noise
Authors: Wang Han , Huang Jingzheng , Huang Chaozheng , Li Hongjing , Zeng Guihua 
Published: July 2022

Experiments based on a free-space platform have demonstrated that the weak-value amplification (WVA) technique can provide high sensitivity and precision for optical sensing and metrology. To promote this technique for real-world applications, it is more suitable to implement WVA based on an optical-fiber platform due to the lower cost, smaller scale, and higher stability. In contrast to the free-space platform, the birefringence in optical fiber is strong enough to cause polarization cross talk, and the amplitude-type noise must be taken into account. By theoretical analysis and experimental demonstration, we show that the optic-fiber-based WVA is robust in the presence of amplitude-type noise. In our experiment, even the angular misalignment on optical axes at the interface reaches 0.08 rad, and the sensitivity loss can be maintained at less than 3 dB. Moreover, the main results are valid to a simplified detection scheme that was recently proposed that is more compatible with the future design of optical-fiber-based WVA. Our results indicate the feasibility of implementing WVA based on optical fiber, which provides a possible way for designing optical sensors with higher sensitivity and stability in the future.

Published: July 2022

Background
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and the incidence of surgery-related acute kidney injury (AKI) in non-cardiac surgery patients under general anaesthesia.

Methods
In this retrospective study, 5057 patients from Third Xiangya hospital from January 2012 to December 2016 and 1686 patients from Second Xiangya hospital from January 2016 to December 2016 for non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia were included. According to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve constructed by NLR for postoperative AKI, the cut-off point was obtained as the basis for grouping low or high NLR. The baseline characteristics of two sets were compared with each other. A multi-factor model was constructed by Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method with the training set, and verified by outside validation set.

Results
243 patients (3.604%) developed postoperative AKI. The ROC curve showed that the AUC of the NLR for predicting postoperative AKI in non-cardiac surgery was 0.743 (95% CI, 0.717–0.769), and the cut-off value was 3.555 (sensitivity, 86.4%; specificity 51.9%). There was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics of training set and validation set. The AUC in the training set was 0.817 (95% CI, 0.784–0.850), and the AUC in the validation set was 0.804 (95% CI, 0.749–0.858), the AUC deviation was 0.012 (P > 0.05) from validation set, and the likelihood ratio test showed P < 0.05.

Conclusion
This study showed that preoperative high NLR (NLR≥3.555) was an independent risk factor associated with postoperative AKI (OR, 2.410; 95% CI, 1.371–4.335) in patients for non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia.

Authors: Lee Hsuan-Wei , Leng Cheng-Han , Chan Ta-Chien 
Published: July 2022

Background
Using a 10 week nationwide online survey performed during a time period containing the time ahead, the start, and the peak of a COVID-19 outbreak in Taiwan, we investigated aspects that could affect participants’ vaccination intentions.

Methods
From March to May 2021, we surveyed 1,773 people in Taiwan, aged from 20 to 75 years, to determine potential acceptance rates and factors influencing the acceptance of a COVID-19 vaccine. We used an ordinal logistic regression with a backward selection method to identify factors that affected vaccination intention.

Results
Several factors could increase individuals’ vaccination intentions including: being male, older, with an openness personality, having a better quality of life in the physical health domain, having better knowledge and personal health behavior, having more trust in the government, and being worried about misinformation. Perceived risks played a crucial role in the vaccine decision-making process. When the pandemic intensified, people’s vaccination intentions increased significantly.

Conclusion
The findings of the present study could highlight individuals’ vaccination attitudes and provide governments with an empirical and dynamic base to design tailored strategies to increase vaccination rates.

Published: July 2022

BackgroundDaily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use is highly effective against HIV infection. However, the uptake of PrEP among individuals at high-risk of HIV acquisition in sub-Saharan Africa varies because of availability and acceptability. We assessed the acceptability of PrEP among participants in a prospective HIV vaccine preparedness study in Masaka, southwestern Uganda.MethodsFrom November 2018 to August 2019, 20 participants (10 female) were purposively selected for in-depth interviews (IDIs) at 3 and 9 months’ post-enrolment in the vaccine preparedness study. Four focus group discussions (FGD) (two among men) were conducted with 29 individuals categorized as: younger (18–24 years) men, younger (18–24 years) women, older (≥30 years) men, and older (≥30 years) women. Apart from IDI specific questions on recent life history including work experience, relationship history and places lived, topics for IDIs and FGDs included knowledge of HIV, perceptions of HIV risk (including own risk), knowledge of and use of PrEP. The Theoretical Framework of Acceptability was used to structure a thematic framework approach for data analysis.ResultsParticipants understood that PrEP was an oral pill taken daily by HIV negative individuals to prevent acquisition of HIV. Overall, interest in and acceptability of PrEP was high, more than half expressed positivity towards PrEP but were not ready to initiate taking it citing the burden of daily oral pill taking, related side effects, stigma and distrust of PrEP. Fourteen participants (from IDI and FGD) initiated PrEP, although some (one FGD and two IDI participants) stopped taking it due to side effects or perceived reduced risk.ConclusionWe observed a keen interest in PrEP initiation among our study participants. However, a limited understanding of PrEP and associated concerns impeded uptake and sustained use. Hence, interventions are needed to address end-user challenges to increase uptake and support adherence.
Academic training of authors publishing in high-impact epidemiology and clinical journals
Authors: Sullivan Amanda , Murray Eleanor J. , Corlin Laura 
Published: July 2022

Background
To inform training program development and curricular initiatives, quantitative descriptions of the disciplinary training of research teams publishing in top-tier clinical and epidemiological journals are needed. Our objective was to assess whether interdisciplinary academic training and teamwork of authors publishing original research in 15 top-tier journals varied by year of publication (2000/2010/2020), type of journal (epidemiological/general clinical/specialty clinical), corresponding author gender, and time since the corresponding author completed formal training relative to the article publication date (<5/≥5 years).

Methods and findings
We invited corresponding authors of original research articles to participate in an online survey (n = 103; response rate = 8.3% of 1240 invited authors). In bivariate analyses, year of publication, type of journal, gender, and recency of training were not significantly associated with interdisciplinary team composition, whether a co-author with epidemiological or biostatistical training was involved in any research stage (design/analysis/interpretation/reporting), or with participants’ confidence in their own or their co-authors epidemiological or biostatistical expertise (p > 0.05 for each comparison). Exceptions were participants with more recent epidemiological training all had co-author(s) with epidemiological training contribute to study design and interpretation, and participants who published in 2020 were more likely to report being extremely confident in their epidemiological abilities.

Conclusions
This study was the first to quantify interdisciplinary training among research teams publishing in epidemiological and clinical journals. Our quantitative results show research published in top-tier journals generally represents interdisciplinary teamwork and that interdisciplinary training may provide publication type options. Our qualitative results show researchers view interdisciplinary training favorably.

Published: July 2022

Objective
The aim of this study was to identify a set of competencies of health personnel for the practice of health literacy in Brazil.

Methods
Scoping review and online interviews with healthcare practitioners, followed by three rounds of the modified e-Delphi method with health literacy specialists from November/2020 to March/2021. During the rounds, the items were revised, new items added for review, and their importance was rated on a five-point Likert scale in an online form. Those items that achieved a mean Likert rating of 4+ (rated important to very important) and ≥ 90.0% agreement among the experts were maintained in each round.

Results
The initial competencies list contained 30 items from the literature scoping review and online interview with 46 Brazilian healthcare practitioners. 25 experts (health personnel with publications on health literacy) were invited to participate in the e-Delphi rounds. Of the total of 56 items evaluated, 28 reached consensus among the experts. The Brazilian competencies list differed from other consensuses by the emphasis on professional commitment to the literacy in health, autonomy and social context of the patient.

Conclusion
For the Brazilian context, 28 competencies are relevant to the practice of health literacy in health care. This study is an initial step to develop the HL competences of Brazilian health professionals and an update of the skills evidenced in previous international studies.
Causes, characteristics, and patterns of prolonged unplanned school closures prior to the COVID-19 pandemic—United States, 2011–2019
Authors: Jahan Ferdous A. , Zviedrite Nicole , Gao Hongjiang , Ahmed Faruque , Uzicanin Amra 
Published: July 2022

Introduction
Outside of pandemics, there is little information about occurrence of prolonged unplanned K-12 school closures (PUSC). We describe here the reasons, characteristics, and patterns of PUSC in the United States during 8 consecutive inter-pandemic academic years, 2011–2019.

Methods
From August 1, 2011 through June 30, 2019, daily systematic online searches were conducted to collect data on publicly announced unplanned school closures lasting ≥1 school days in the United States. Closures were categorized as prolonged when schools were closed for ≥5 unplanned days (approximating one full workweek), excluding weekends and scheduled days off per school calendars.

Results
During the eight academic years, a total of 22,112 PUSCs were identified, affecting over 800,000 teachers and 13 million students that resulted in 91.5 million student-days lost. A median of 62.9% of students in PUSC-affected schools were eligible for subsidized school meals. Most affected schools were in cities (35%) and suburban areas (33%). Natural disasters (47%), adverse weather conditions (35%), and budget/teacher strikes (15%) were the most frequently cited reasons for PUSC; illness accounted for 1%, and building/facility issues, environmental issues and violence together accounted for the remaining 2%. The highest number of PUSCs occurred in Health and Human Services Regions 2, 3, 4, and 6 encompassing areas that are frequently in the path of hurricanes and tropical storms. The majority of PUSCs in these regions were attributed to a handful of hurricanes during the fall season, including hurricanes Sandy, Irma, Harvey, Florence, and Matthew.

Conclusions
PUSCs occur annually in the United States due to a variety of causes and are associated with a substantive loss of student-days for in-school learning. Both these prior experiences with PUSCs and those during the current COVID-19 pandemic illustrate a need for creating sustainable solutions for high-quality distance learning and innovative supplemental feeding programs nationwide, especially in disaster-prone areas.

Authors: Milanez Aline Andrea Zamboni , Alencar André Luiz Siqueira 
Published: July 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é a análise da variação das dimensões de relatos de Experiências de Quase Morte (EQM). Nas últimas décadas, diversas áreas do conhecimento têm investigado o fenômeno, desde o lançamento do livro de Moody (1975), dentre as quais a linguística. Nenhum estudo, até o presente momento, investigou sua variação de dimensões na língua inglesa, por meio da Linguística de Corpus (LC) (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004) e da Análise Multidimensional (AMD) (BIBER, 1988). Como método principal do estudo, usou-se a AMD aditiva (BIBER; CONRAD, 2001) e AMD completa (BIBER, 1988), a fim de mapear 1223 relatos nas dimensões de variação do inglês e desvendar suas dimensões próprias. Em relação à AMD aditiva, o corpus de estudo apresentou escore positivo nas dimensões um, dois e cinco e escore negativo nas dimensões três e quatro. Quanto à AMD completa, três dimensões funcionais foram identificadas e interpretadas como (1) Discurso relatado vs. Descrição elaborada, (2) Discurso Deôntico e (3) Discurso com enfoque no posicionamento.

Indicador para medir la migración de valor en pymes argentinas
Authors: Casella Volosin Guido , Martínez Mansilla Jerónimo , Rivera Motrich Santiago 
Published: July 2022

Esta investigación buscó construir un indicador que mida la migración de valor y que pueda aplicarse a las PyMEs que no cuentan con información de la capitalización bursátil. Para ello, se elaboró un cuestionario que indaga sobre los factores impulsores de migración de valor agrupados en dimensiones, a ser administrado a los gerentes de PyMEs de una muestra no probabilística. El indicador de migración de valor se obtuvo por adición de las puntuaciones de las variables ordinales relevadas y se determinaron, también, contribuciones por dimensión. Aplicando la prueba no paramétrica de Mann–Whitney se identificaron las variables más significativas en la medición de la migración de valor. Los hallazgos indican que los avances tecnológicos y la vinculación de las empresas con su entorno resultan elementos fundamentales para captar valor y deben considerarse al diseñar un modelo de negocio.El índice propuesto permite salvar la limitación del indicador de Slywotzky, único indicador análogo prexistente, que solo puede ser aplicado a empresas con capitalización bursátil. Este constituye una valiosa herramienta para que las empresas midan si están perdiendo, reteniendo o ganando valor y permite obtener información para mejorar el proceso de toma de decisiones y la planificación estratégica. Además, posibilita el análisis del modelo de negocio y su ajuste en relación a las prioridades cambiantes de los clientes.
El efecto del regreso a clases presenciales durante la Pandemia del Covid–19 en los casos confirmados en Argentina
Authors: Boquete Seidán , Gomez Alonso Benjamín 
Published: July 2022

En esta investigación se analiza el efecto del retorno a clases presenciales entre febrero y marzo de 2021 en Argentina en los niveles inicial, primario y secundario sobre el nivel de contagios por Covid–19 en 57 departamentos del país. La hipótesis es que las clases presenciales producen un incremento de los casos confirmados por Covid–19 desde dos frentes: por un lado, directamente dentro de las instituciones educativas. Por otro, a través del aumento en la movilidad que el traslado de los estudiantes hacia y desde las instituciones educativas produce. Para evidenciarlo, se utiliza aquí un modelo econométrico deDiferencias en Diferencias. A la vista de los resultados, no se encuentra evidencia estadísticamente significativa de que el regreso a clases presenciales haya afectado, ya sea de forma positiva o negativa, a la cantidad de casos confirmados por Covid–19 en el total de la población ni en los grupos etarios de 18 a 34 años, 35 a 59 años y 60 años en adelante entre el 2 de febrero de 2021 y el 18 de abril de 2021 en los departamentosestudiados. Por otro lado, las estimaciones del modelo indican que el regreso a clases presenciales en los niveles inicial, primario y secundario han tenido un efecto positivo y significativo de 0,58 casos en la media móvil semanal de casos confirmados por fecha de inicio de síntomas cada 100 000 habitantes de ese grupo etario luego de 30 días de haber retomado la educación presencial.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery is the standard for many abdominal interventions, with an increasing use of telemanipulated robots. As collaborative robots enter the field of medical interventions, their intuitive control needs to be addressed. Augmented reality can thereby support a surgeon by representing the surgical scene in a natural way. In this work, an augmented reality based robot control for laparoscopic cholecystectomy is presented. A user can interact with the virtual scene to clip the cystic duct and artery as well as to manipulate the deformable gallbladder. An evaluation was performed based on the SurgTLX and system usability scale.
