Impacts of inclusion of folded geogrid on load-settlement behavior of a strip footing overlaid on fine sands
Authors: Ahmad Hussein 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This paper describes experimental studies on a strip footing overlaid an unreinforced, planar geogrid-reinforced, and folded geogrid layers of fine sand subjected to static loading. The footing settlement was determined for plate loading of over 25 kN. The variables are assessed in the testing program including the number of planar geogrid layers, the position of the folded geogrid within the soil, the thickness of the geogrid folded layer, wraparound lap and overlap lengths of a folded geogrid, the spacing within geogrid folded layers, and several geogrid layers. The results indicated the superiority of footing performance as a result of static loading for geogrid folded reinforced sand than for planar geogrid reinforced sand. Besides, a critical region was found at a certain depth under the footing, where a geogrid folded results in increased footing settlement. This critical area affects the behaviour of the sandy soils with low footing width. As a result of static loading, the soil compacts within depth, and sand particles penetrate between the geogrid apertures. Then they accumulate in a specific area inside the geogrid folded, therefore it causes small gaps that leads to the rotation of the strip footing in the soil at the foundation surface. In total, based on the results, the reinforced soil-footing systems with adequate folding geogrid layers behave much stiffer, thus, they can handle higher loads with the lower settlement than those in planar reinforced soil. Also, the results show that the values of embedment depth and thickness of geogrid folded are 0.41 and 0.2 of the footing width, respectively. Consequently, the settlement rate is significantly reduced by increasing the amount of folded geogrid layers. The findings revealed that the wraparound technique solution for reinforced cases considerably improves the bearing capacity, reduces settlement, and uses in tight bed spaces.

Abstract
Due to climatological changes, a study was conducted in the Gediz Basin, Turkey, where agricultural production holds an important place. In the study prepared, 12 general circulation models (GCMs) were utilized under representative concentration pathway (RCP)4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5 scenarios of the fifth assessment report (AR5) of IPCC for the period 2015–2050. The statistical downscaling methods were employed and the projections were derived right after applying the weighted-averaged ensemble mean by the Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) method and bias correction by equidistant quantile mapping (EDQM). The temperature-based potential evapotranspiration (PET) formulas were modified in accordance with the Penman–Monteith method and the aridity indexes were calculated by UNEP's formula. According to the projections, the mean annual temperature increases between 1.5 and 2.2 °C and the mean total annual PET increases between 5 and 8% are foreseen in the Gediz Basin for the near future. It is foreseen that a semi-arid climate regime may predominate over the region for all of the RCP scenarios under the increasing dryness in basin climate. In addition, it was obtained in the study that sub-humid climate state occurrence for all of the regions included by the basin may be unexpected in the future for the RCP8.5 scenario. The presence of semi-arid climate conditions may be more potent with the increasing trend of radiative forcing over time.

Authors: Kaewwimol Patcharaporn , Ruchiwit Manyat , Liaw Jen-Jiuan 
Published: July 2022

Background:After transition to home, most preterm infants exhibit higher readmission rates due to lack of readiness for hospital discharge and inadequate discharge preparation. Continuity of care during transitional care is an essential intervention for achieving parental readiness and performance in this group.Objective:The study aims to analyze the effects of continuity of care program for parents with preterm infants (CCPI) on parental performances, parental readiness, and service utilization rates post-discharge.Methods:A randomized controlled trial evaluated 92 dyads of preterm infants and parents. They were randomly assigned to two groups. The experimental group received the CCPI with routine nursing care, and the control group received only routine nursing care. The parental readiness and parental performance questionnaires were completed by the parents and analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The effectiveness of the CCPI in reducing the service utilization rates post-discharge was demonstrated using RM-ANOVA.Results:The parents’ performance who participated in the CCPI was significantly higher, as was their readiness for hospital discharge than the parents of the control group (p< 0.01). In addition, the service utilization rates for the samples significantly decreased (p< 0.01) at the fourth week after discharge. However, there was no significant difference between the first- and second-week post-discharge.Conclusion:The study findings may help policymakers deploy the CCPI for parents with preterm infants while suggesting that the CCPI should be used to promote growing preterm infants to reduce post-discharge service utilization rates significantly.
Willingness to Use Internet-Based Versus Bibliotherapy Interventions in a Representative US Sample: Cross-sectional Survey Study
Authors: De Jesús-Romero Robinson , Wasil Akash , Lorenzo-Luaces Lorenzo 
Published: July 2022

Background
Self-help interventions have the potential to increase access to evidence-based mental health care. Self-help can be delivered via different formats, including print media or digital mental health interventions (DMHIs). However, we do not know which delivery format is more likely to result in higher engagement.

Objective
The aims of this study were to identify if there is a preference for engaging in print media versus DMHIs and whether there are individual differences in relative preferences.

Methods
Participants were 423 adults between the ages of 18 and 82 years (201/423, 47.5% female) recruited on Prolific as a nationally representative sample of the US population, including non-Hispanic White (293/423, 69.2%), non-Hispanic Black (52/423, 12%), Asian (31/423, 7%), Hispanic (25/423, 6%), and other individuals (22/423, 5%). We provided individuals with psychoeducation in different self-help formats and measured their willingness to use print media versus DMHIs. We also assessed participants’ demographics, personality, and perception of each format’s availability and helpfulness and used these to predict individual differences in the relative preferences.

Results
Participants reported being more willing to engage with print media than with DMHIs (B=0.41, SE 0.08; t422=4.91; P<.001; d=0.24, 95% CI 0.05-0.43). This preference appeared to be influenced by education level (B=0.22, SE 0.09; t413=2.41; P=.02; d=0.13, 95% CI –0.06 to 0.32), perceived helpfulness (B=0.78, SE 0.06; t411=13.66; P<.001; d=0.46, 95% CI 0.27-0.66), and perceived availability (B=0.20, SE 0.58; t411=3.25; P=.001; d=0.12, 95% CI 0.07-0.30) of the self-help format.

Conclusions
This study suggests an overall preference for print media over DMHIs. Future work should investigate whether receiving mental health treatment via participants’ preferred delivery format can lead to higher engagement.

OBJECTIVE
To predict adverse kidney outcomes for use in optimizing medical management and clinical trial design.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
In this meta-analysis of individual participant data, 43 cohorts (N = 1,621,817) from research studies, electronic medical records, and clinical trials with global representation were separated into development and validation cohorts. Models were developed and validated within strata of diabetes mellitus (presence or absence) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; ≥60 or &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2) to predict a composite of ≥40% decline in eGFR or kidney failure (i.e., receipt of kidney replacement therapy) over 2–3 years.

RESULTS
There were 17,399 and 24,591 events in development and validation cohorts, respectively. Models predicting ≥40% eGFR decline or kidney failure incorporated age, sex, eGFR, albuminuria, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use, history of heart failure, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, smoking status, and BMI, and, in those with diabetes, hemoglobin A1c, insulin use, and oral diabetes medication use. The median C-statistic was 0.774 (interquartile range [IQR] = 0.753, 0.782) in the diabetes and higher-eGFR validation cohorts; 0.769 (IQR = 0.758, 0.808) in the diabetes and lower-eGFR validation cohorts; 0.740 (IQR = 0.717, 0.763) in the no diabetes and higher-eGFR validation cohorts; and 0.750 (IQR = 0.731, 0.785) in the no diabetes and lower-eGFR validation cohorts. Incorporating the previous 2-year eGFR slope minimally improved model performance, and then only in the higher-eGFR cohorts.

CONCLUSIONS
Novel prediction equations for a decline of ≥40% in eGFR can be applied successfully for use in the general population in persons with and without diabetes with higher or lower eGFR.

Abstract
The goals of this study are to discover the prepositions through which the verb transcends in the comprehensive reading book for class six, as well as the meanings of transitive verbs with prepositions in the comprehensive reading book for class six. To achieve the desired results, the researcher used the literature method, which entailed reading books about transitive verbs. The researcher adopted the descriptive-analytical approach and analyzed the content to obtain the documented results. As for the result of the research, it is that the prepositions that transcend the verb in the adequate reading book for the sixth grade are Harf ̔ala on in 28 sentences and Harf an in 12 sentences, and Harf min in one sentence, Harf il in 9 sentences, Harf fī in 7 sentences, Harf ba̕ in 25 sentences, and Harf lam in 10 sentences. These transitive verbs with a preposition are found in 92 sentences, in which 58 verbs are included. The meanings of the verbs have differed because of the different prepositions that transitive verbs have, so transitive verbs are called prepositions. The meanings of transitive verbs with a preposition have been established, and their meanings remain.
