Access to care through telehealth among U.S. Medicare beneficiaries in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Lu Min , Liao Xinyi 
Published: September 2022

BackgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency has amplified the potential value of deploying telehealth solutions. Less is known about how trends in access to care through telehealth changed over time.ObjectivesTo investigate trends in forgone care and telehealth coverage among Medicare beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA cross-sectional study design was used to analyze the outcomes of 31,907 Medicare beneficiaries using data from three waves of survey data from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey COVID-19 Supplement (Summer 2020, Fall 2020, and Winter 2021). We identified informative variables through a multivariate classification analysis utilizing Random Forest machine learning techniques.FindingsThe rate of reported forgone medical care because of COVID-19 decreased largely (22.89–3.31%) with a small increase in telehealth coverage (56.24–61.84%) from the week of June 7, 2020, to the week of April 4 to 25, 2021. Overall, there were 21.97% of respondents did not know whether their primary care providers offered telehealth services; the rates of forgone care and telehealth coverage were 11.68 and 59.52% (11.73 and 81.18% from yes and no responses). Our machine learning model predicted the outcomes accurately utilizing 43 variables. Informative factors included Medicare beneficiaries' age, Medicare-Medicaid dual eligibility, ability to access basic needs, certain mental and physical health conditions, and interview date.ConclusionsThis cross-sectional survey study found proliferation and utilization of telehealth services in certain subgroups during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing important access to care. There is a need to confront traditional barriers to the proliferation of telehealth. Policymakers must continue to identify effective means of maintaining continuity of care and growth of telehealth services.

BackgroundDisordered eating behaviors (DEBs) are complex health issues that may lead to negative physical and mental health outcomes among college students. More studies should be directed toward the screening of DEBs. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of DEBs among Saudi female university students and their association with social networking site (SNSs) usage and composite lifestyle behaviors during the unprecedented period of COVID-19.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 445 females recruited using stratified random sampling. The participants self-reported demographic, social, medical, and lifestyle data and completed the validated Arabic version of the Eating Attitudes Test-26, Social Networking Sites (SNSs) Usage Questionnaire, Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, and Body Shape Questionnaire.ResultsThe prevalence of DEBs was 27.2% among the female students at Taif University. From the pre-pandemic period until the current time, the DEBs-risk group had a significantly higher SNS navigation rate (36.4%) than the normal group (20.4%) (X2 = 30.015, p = 0.001). The regression analysis revealed that females with a significant body image concern, higher number of SNSs friends, and frequent visits to SNSs, and those seeking social-dependent information in relation to weight loss/dieting were more likely to develop DEBs (Overall Model: Chi-Square X2 = 158.071, p &lt; 0.000**).ConclusionsSNSs usage and DEBs were associated during the COVID-pandemic. However, the composite lifestyle score did not demonstrate a significant association with DEBs among the female students at Taif University. Investigating the magnitude of DEBs and understanding the role of SNS are essential for preventing disordered eating among young females.

Published: September 2022

BackgroundFew studies have reported the association of early life exposure to famine with the risk of heart failure. The current study aimed to investigate whether exposure to famine in early life is associated with a higher risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adulthood.MethodsWe used data from participants included in the sub-cohort of the China Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project in Guangdong Province. Specific years of birth were used to define the famine-exposed group (born during the famine of 1959–1962), the pre-famine group (born before the famine [1954–1957], and the post-famine group (born after the famine [1964–1967]). Multivariable-adjusted generalized linear models were used to examine the associations of early life famine exposure with the risk of hospitalization for heart failure.ResultsA total of 36,212 participants were enrolled in this analysis with a median age of 57.4 years and 37.5% of them were men. Compared with the post-famine group, famine births and pre-famine births were associated with increased risk of heart failure (OR: 1.96 [1.56–2.48] and OR: 1.62 [1.07–2.47], respectively). When compared with the age-balanced non-exposed group, the famine-exposed group was also significantly associated with increased risk of heart failure (OR: 1.32 [1.11–1.57]). The associations were stronger in participants with better economic status and in participants with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia (P for interaction &lt; 0.05).ConclusionEarly life exposure to the Chinese famine is associated with an elevated risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adulthood.

PurposeThis study aims to identify the pre- and postoperative changes in the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and its correlations to clinical characteristics in obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).MethodRetrospectively, we included patients who has undergone LSG in our institution between January 2019 and April 2021. A total of 100 patients whose body mass index over 32.5 and received primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy without infectious condition were included.ResultsThere was a significant decline in NLR (T0 vs. POM3 2.21 vs. 1.78, p = 0.005), neutrophil (T0 vs. POM3 5369 vs. 4050, p &lt; 0.001) and lymphocyte count (T0 vs. POM3 2440: 2100, p &lt; 0.001, respectively) at postoperative 3 months (POM3) compared to preoperative (T0) levels, but similar between POM3 and POM6. The declined counts (Neutrophile vs. Lymphocyte 1445.5/µl vs. 323.5/µl, p &lt; 0.001) and percentage (Neutrophile vs. Lymphocyte 25.11% vs. 13.07%, p &lt; 0.001) of neutrophile are higher than lymphocyte from T0 to POM3, but similar in POM3 and POM6. Preoperative NLR has a significant correlation with the preoperative body weight, preoperative insulin level, and excessive body weight loss (EBWL) at POM3. Preoperative NLR &lt;2.36 had a sensitivity of 67.6% and a specificity of 62.5% in predicting successful weight loss (EBWL &gt; 37.7%) at POM3 (AUC = 0.635, p = 0.032).ConclusionThere was a significant decline in NLR, neutrophil, and lymphocyte count from T0 to POM3, but similar between POM3 and POM6. The declined counts and percentage of neutrophile are higher than lymphocyte. Preoperative NLR shows the potential to be used as a prognostic biomarker for predicting successful weight loss at POM3 after LSG. Further studies could be designed to evaluate the value of prediction in successful outcome after LSG and figure out the relationship between the changes of neutrophil function and oncogenesis.

Introdução Muitos pacientes precisam ser transferidos para a realização de procedimentos, ou por necessitarem de cuidados de maior complexidade. Entretanto, a transferência pode cursar com piores desfechos. Objetivo: comparar o estado nutricional e a mortalidade de pacientes idosos transferidos para a UTI com os admitidos na UTI proveniente da sua residencia. Método: Coorte retrospectiva realizada em um hospital privado na cidade de Cuiabá-MT. Estudo realizado com pacientes idosos, admitidos em duas UTIs. Foi determinado a frequencia de pacientes transferidos para a UTI e em seguida, comparado o estado nutricional e a mortalidade entre os pacientes transferidos versus os admitidos diretamente na UTI. Foi considerado transferência hospitalar o paciente encaminhado de qualquer unidade do próprio hospital (intra-hospitalar) ou quando encaminhado da enfermaria de outro hospital (inter-hospitalar) para a UTI. Resultados: Entre 2190 pacientes internados, 60,0% (n=1315) eram idosos que participaram do estudo (media=73 anos, 53,1% feminino). A taxa de transferência correspondeu a 26,8% dos casos. Os idosos transferidos mostraram 2,5 vezes mais chance de óbito que os admitidos diretamente na UTI (OR=2,55 IC95%1,91-3,39, p<0,001) e apresentaram maior chance de estarem gravemente desnutridos que os provenientes de casa (OR=2,5 IC95% 1,82-3,4), p<0,001). A chance de óbito aumentou apenas entre os idosos transferidos que já estavam desnutridos (OR= 2,9; p<0,001) ou desnutridos graves (OR= 3,2; p<0,001) no momento da admissão na UTI. O mesmo não ocorreu para os admitidos diretamente (p>0,05). Conclusão: Cerca de 30% dos pacientes admitidos na UTI são provenientes de transferência hospitalar. Os idosos transferidos são mais desnutridos que os admitidos diretamente na UTI. Idosos transferidos e os transferidos com desnutrição, apresentam mais de 2,5 vezes chance de óbito que os admitidos diretamente com ou sem desnutrição.

Abstract
Hexagonal rare-earth manganese oxide YMnO3 thin films were prepared on yttria-stabilized zirconia (111) substrates by metal organic decomposition method. The crystallinity and morphology of YMnO3 thin films crystallized at various temperatures were examined by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy measurements, respectively. Single phase YMnO3 was obtained for the sample prepared by annealing temperatures of 950 °C. AFM analysis revealed that a smooth surface with a roughness of 0.15 nm was achieved for YMnO3 thin film annealed at 950 °C and 1000 °C, while three-dimensional growth for other samples prepared at 750–900 °C, 1050 °C, and 1100 °C. A narrow band at 1.6 eV and a broad band at 5 eV due to electronic transitions in the manganese and oxygen bands were observed in an absorption spectrum.

Стаття відкриває серію колективних праць, скерованих на наближення перемоги українців та їх прихильників над організованою сусідньою «раковою пухлиною» підлою агресією. У центрі нашої уваги перебуває початок історико-археологічної ноореволюції ХХІ століття. Так ми пропонуємо назвати відмову від старих міфологізованих уявлень про минуле і побудову нового опису подій соціальної еволюції людства на основі точних ізотопних датувань, генетичного секвенування й усіх нооісторичних досягнень останніх років. Девід Райх та інші наукові лідери світу вказують на потребу створення правдивої картини еволюції Хомо. Стаття скерована на аналіз причин появи на Заході у 2017-2020 роках потоку антиукраїнських статей про так
званий “ямний геноцид”. У цих статтях висвітлювалося хибне твердження про знищення нашими пращурами у V-III тисячоліттях тому майже усіх європейських чоловіків-землеробів . Ми наводимо докази того, що перехід від канібалізму до гуманізму в інтервалі 15-10 тис. років тому здійснили пращури українців і європейців-землеробів. Вони поширили рільництво по всій Європі разом з гуманістичними цінностями, що заперечували геноцид та убивства. Відкрите Д. Райхом та іншими науковцями зникнення генів землеробів спричинене діями пращурів сучасних західноєвропейців, які спиралися на агресивний архетип. Сьогодні він відомий як «атлантична цивілізація». Її світоглядні недоліки помітні в діях керівників держав ЄС і в поведінці значної частини європейців. Ми пропонуємо поширювати факти про давні події, які знищать російську та іншу брехню про минуле і прискорять повну перемогу України та її союзників у війні Росії проти України.
Convolutional neural network regression for low-cost microalgal density estimation
Authors: Nguyen Linh , Nguyen Dung K. , Nghiem Truong X. , Nguyen Thang 
Published: September 2022

<p>Density of <u>microalgae</u> is critical information for production of algae in a closed cultivation system since it can be used to optimally control their growth rate, biomass concentration and quality of the products. Given advancement in image processing techniques and thanks to low-cost camera sensors, image based methods are increasingly widely utilized to indirectly estimate the density. Advantages of the image based techniques include being less invasive and more <u>nondestructive</u> and <u>biosecured</u>. However, most of the existing techniques rely on averaging all pixels of a <u>microalgae</u> image, which may eliminate crucial information of their spatial correlation. Therefore, in this work we propose to exploit a <u>convolutional</u> neural network (CNN) to efficiently extract information from the <u>microalgae</u> images, which are then employed to regress the density. Interestingly, the proposed deep CNN regression model accepts the whole color image as its input while the density is calculated in the output. The proposed CNN regression architecture was validated in real-world experiments where the <u>microalgal</u> strain <u>Chlorella</u> <u>vulgaris</u> was cultured and their images were captured by our low-cost camera sensor system. The obtained results demonstrate that the averaged estimation accuracy of the proposed model is 0.55\% (+/- 0.68\%) while the R<sup>2</sup> value between the density predictions and the ground truths is 0.9997, which is highly accurate and practical.</p>
ماهية الوثيقة عند المدرستين التاريخيتين الوضعانية والحوليات الفرنسية وأثرها في كتاباتهما التاريخية مع دراسة مقارنة بين فرناند بروديل وسلطان القاسمي
Authors: حياز خولة , شترة خير الدين 
Published: September 2022

اتفقت المدراس التاريخية على أهمية الوثيقة ودورها المحوري في حفظ التراث التاريخي، إلا أنها اختلفت في ماهية الوثيقة المعتمدة، ففي الوقت الذي اقتصرت فيه المدرسة الوضعانية على استخدام الوثيقة المكتوبة، نجد أن مدرسة أخرى كمدرسة الحوليات وسعت مفهوم الوثيقة واعتبرت أن كل أثر مكتوب أو مرسوم أو منقوش وثيقة. تبع هذا اختلافا في الموضوعات المنتخبة للكتابة عندهما، إذ فضلت المدرسة الوضعانية التاريخ السياسي والعسكري، بينما ركزت مدرسة الحوليات على التاريخ الاقتصادي والاجتماعي. وبرز من بين مؤرخي مدرسة الحوليات فرناند بروديل أحد أهم مؤسسي منهجها والمدافعين عن رؤيتها للوثيقة التوسعية. بينما ظهر سلطان القاسمي كأحد المؤرخين الملتزمين باستخدام الوثيقة المكتوبة في كل كتاباته التاريخية. فما الذي غيَّر موقف بروديل اتجاه الوثيقة؟ وكيف انعكس ذلك على كتاباته؟ ولماذا اتجه سلطان القاسمي إلى اعتماد الوثيقة المكتوبة؟ وهل يمكن اعتباره مؤرخا وضعانيا لمجرد وضوح سمات الكتابة المنهجية الوضعانية في كتاباته؟ وللإجابة على هذه الإشكاليات تم الاستعانة بالمنهج الاستقرائي والتحليلي الوصفي.

Authors: AlMheiri Asma , Zaid Bouziane 
Published: September 2022

Given the impact of Covid-19 pandemic that has affected the world, the relevance of e-services has never been as high. The UAE government has for many years been engaged to rapidly adopting smart government services within the state sector with the aim of increasing the quality of electronic-based services. The UAE government has developed Vision 2021, which is a strategic plan for the future of the country. Accordingly, the authorities in the Emirate of Sharjah established the Supreme Committee for Digital Transformation. The purpose of this paper is to explore the preparedness of public employees in Sharjah and the extent to which they are ready for the shift to digital services. It provides an evaluation of the preparedness of employees based on an examination of their perceptions of e-government and their level of readiness to engage the digital transformation. The paper uses Everett Rogers’ diffusion theory (1962) as the basis for its theoretical framework. Diffusion theory refers to the process whereby novel technologies, products or concepts are diffused and adopted within a social system. A survey was administered to 102 public workers that comprised both quantitative and open-ended qualitative questions.
Social Media and Privacy in the UAE: A Survey Research
Authors: Azzi Abderrahmane , Dakhane Samiya 
Published: September 2022

Social media is one of the most important agents of social transformation in modern times. They play a critical role for millions of people. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, are used for socializing, posting updates, communicating with friends and family members, as well as sharing photos. The platforms assist individuals in connecting with thousands of people and hence have the potential of influencing people's lives including the potential negative impact of misuse such as re-sharing someone’s data without their consent. Social media users are expected to use the social media platforms responsibly as privacy is essential in avoiding harm, distortion, public disclosure, and abuses.

The study investigates privacy in social media from a legal and ethical perspective in the UAE. It addresses the concern of the users who might be oblivious of privacy, data protection guidelines and the gap in research on privacy in social media. The theoretical background is grounded in social utilitarian ethical theory as an ethical framework. The legal theory applies as it defines and sets boundaries for privacy and its different manifestations in social media.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh Produk Domestik Regional Bruto dan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia Terhadap Tingkat Kemiskinan di Kabupaten Serang Banten Periode 2016-2020. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif. Penelitian ini tidak menguji signifikansi untuk generalisasi karena penelitian empirik di Kabupaten Serang sehingga tidak menggunakan populasi dan sample. Hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan regresi berganda diperoleh bahwa jika PDRB naik satu satuan maka Tingkat Kemiskinan akan meningkat sebesar 1,042 poin, hal ini disebabkan PDRB baru terkonsentrasi dibidang Industri dan belum menyeluruh pada bidang pertanian dan perikanan yang mendominasi wilayah Kabupaten Serang. Sedangkan jika IPM menigkat satu satuan maka Tingkat Kemiskinan akan meningkat sebesar 0,015 Poin. Meningkatnya IPM belum merata pada seluruh indikator pembentuk IPM, seperti halnya indikator kamampuan daya beli masyarakat yang belum mencapai titik kenaikan ideal sehingga belum mampu menurunkan tingkat kemiskinan. Sedangkan kontribusi pengaruh PDRB dan IPM terhadap Tingkat Kemiskinan sebesar 99.2% sisanya sebesar 0.80% dipengaruhi variable lain diluar model penelitian.
