Published: August 2022

BackgroundGlobally, adolescents are vulnerable to mental health problems, particularly those from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to impoverished living conditions and a higher prevalence of chronic conditions such as HIV/AIDS in the region. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated this risk. This calls for an urgent need for evidence-based adolescent mental health interventions to reduce the risk and burden of mental health problems in SSA. The review aims to identify and characterize existing adolescent mental health interventions in SSA, as well as to evaluate their implementation strategies and effectiveness.MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed, African Index Medicus, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases for relevant articles. Furthermore, we searched gray literature databases, including Think Tank search, open gray, NGO search engine, and IGO search engine for additional relevant articles. The scoping review was conducted to identify original research articles on mental health interventions among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa published from database inception to 31 December 2021. We carried out a narrative synthesis to report our findings.ResultsOur literature search generated 4,750 studies, of which 1,141 were duplicates, 3,545 were excluded after screening, and 64 articles met the inclusion criteria. The 64 studies describe a total of 57 unique mental health interventions comprising 40,072 adolescents. The nature of these interventions was diverse, encompassing various implementation strategies such as economic-based, family strengthening, psychoeducation, interpersonal psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and resilience training, among others. Most of the interventions were selective interventions that targeted adolescents at high risk of developing mental health problems including adolescents living with HIV, war-affected adolescents, orphans, adolescents from poorer backgrounds, and survivors of sexual violence. Half of the interventions were delivered by lay persons. Sixty-two of the eligible studies examined the effectiveness of the mental health interventions, of which 55 of them reported a positive significant impact on various mental health outcomes.ConclusionsThe review findings show that there exist several diverse interventions that promote mental health among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. These interventions can be implemented in diverse settings including schools, communities, health facilities, and camps, and can be delivered by lay persons.

BackgroundAs mHealth may contribute to suicide prevention, we developed emma, an application using Ecological Momentary Assessment and Intervention (EMA/EMI).ObjectiveThis study evaluated emma usage rate and acceptability during the first month and satisfaction after 1 and 6 months of use.MethodsNinety-nine patients at high risk of suicide used emma for 6 months. The acceptability and usage rate of the EMA and EMI modules were monitored during the first month. Satisfaction was assessed by questions in the monthly EMA (Likert scale from 0 to 10) and the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS; score: 0–5) completed at month 6. After inclusion, three follow-up visits (months 1, 3, and 6) took place.ResultsSeventy-five patients completed at least one of the proposed EMAs. Completion rates were lower for the daily than weekly EMAs (60 and 82%, respectively). The daily completion rates varied according to the question position in the questionnaire (lower for the last questions, LRT = 604.26, df = 1, p-value &lt; 0.0001). Completion rates for the daily EMA were higher in patients with suicidal ideation and/or depression than in those without. The most used EMI was the emergency call module (n = 12). Many users said that they would recommend this application (mean satisfaction score of 6.92 ± 2.78) and the MARS score at month 6 was relatively high (overall rating: 3.3 ± 0.87).ConclusionEmma can target and involve patients at high risk of suicide. Given the promising users’ satisfaction level, emma could rapidly evolve into a complementary tool for suicide prevention.

IntroductionGlutamatergic dysfunction is implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. It is unclear whether glutamatergic dysfunction predicts response to treatment or if antipsychotic treatment influences glutamate levels. We investigated the effect of antipsychotic treatment on glutamatergic levels in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and whether there is a relationship between baseline glutamatergic levels and clinical response after antipsychotic treatment in people with first episode psychosis (FEP).Materials and methodsThe sample comprised 25 FEP patients; 22 completed magnetic resonance spectroscopy scans at both timepoints. Symptoms were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).ResultsThere was no significant change in glutamate [baseline 13.23 ± 2.33; follow-up 13.89 ± 1.74; t(21) = −1.158, p = 0.260], or Glx levels [baseline 19.64 ± 3.26; follow-up 19.66 ± 2.65; t(21) = −0.034, p = 0.973]. There was no significant association between glutamate or Glx levels at baseline and the change in PANSS positive (Glu r = 0.061, p = 0.777, Glx r = −0.152, p = 0.477), negative (Glu r = 0.144, p = 0.502, Glx r = 0.052, p = 0.811), general (Glu r = 0.110, p = 0.607, Glx r = −0.212, p = 0.320), or total scores (Glu r = 0.078, p = 0.719 Glx r = −0.155, p = 0.470).ConclusionThese findings indicate that treatment response is unlikely to be associated with baseline glutamatergic metabolites prior to antipsychotic treatment, and there is no major effect of antipsychotic treatment on glutamatergic metabolites in the ACC.

Published: August 2022

ObjectiveGenome Wide Association study (GWAS) has revealed that the transmembrane protein 132D (TMEM132D) is a gene of sensitive for panic disorder (PD). As the main type of childhood trauma experience, childhood abuse has become a public health issue attracting much attention at home and abroad, and has been proved to be a risk factor for the onset of PD. However, how it affects the occurrence and development of panic disorder has not yet been revealed. We examined the relationship between TMEM132D methylation, childhood abuse and symptoms based on this finding.Materials and methodsThirty-two patients with PD and 22 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited after age, gender, and the education level were matched. The DNA methylation levels of CpG sites across the genome were examined with genomic DNA samples (PD, N = 32, controls, N = 22) extracted from subjects’ elbow venous blood. A mediation model was used to explore the relationship between the methylation degree of different CpG sites and childhood maltreatment and clinical symptoms.ResultsWe found that the PD group had significantly lower methylation at CpG1, CpG2, CpG3, CpG4, CpG5, CpG6, CpG7, CpG8, CpG11, CpG14, and CpG18 than did the HCs (p &lt; 0.05). The CpG2 (r = 0.5953, p = 0.0117) site in the priming region of TEME132D gene were positively associated with PDSS score. The CpG2 (r = 0.4889, p = 0.046) site in the priming region of TEME132D gene were positively associated with physical abuse. Furthermore, path analyses showed that the methylation of CpG2 of TMEM132D played a fully mediating role in the relationship between physical abuse and PD symptom severity (95ConclusionChildhood abuse experiences, especially physical abuse, are significantly related to PD. The methylation of CpG2 of TMEM132D was shown to have a fully mediating effect between panic disorder and physical abuse. The interaction between TMEM132D methylation and physical abuse can predict panic disorder.

Published: August 2022

IntroductionDigital eye strain, which is often ignored by the public, has emerged as a “Shadow Pandemic” in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.AimThe current paper is aimed at discussing the ill effect of digital screens on eyes in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodologyA literature search was done using “PubMed,” “Google scholar”, and “Scopus” using key terms like “Digital Eye Strain,” “Eyestrain,” or “Computer Vision Syndrome.” Relevant articles were identified and included to support the argument for this narrative review.ResultsStudies conducted in the UK reported that 68% of children extensively use computers, while 54% undertake online activities after the age of 3. Similar studies estimated 4 h and 45 min per day of screen exposure time among adults in the UK. Indian studies reveal that the prevalence of DES is 69% in adults and 50% in children respectively. Indian ophthalmologists found that computer-using and specialized ophthalmologists were more informed of symptoms and diagnostic signs but were misinformed about treatment modalities. The use of social media and multitasking is particularly prominent among younger adults, with 87% of individuals aged 20–29 years reporting the use of two or more digital devices simultaneously. It has been observed that the use of computer glasses corrects refractive errors and helps in the reduction of symptoms, while precision spectral filters help in reducing symptoms of micro-fluctuation of accommodation.ConclusionWe concluded that DES is emerging globally as a “Shadow Pandemic” and it is high time to respond. Community ophthalmologists, public health authorities, and educational sectors especially should be involved to prevent this.

Published: August 2022

Background and objectivesActive music-making in combination with physical exercise has evoked several positive effects in users of different age groups. These include enhanced mood, muscular effectivity, pain threshold, and decreased perceived exertion. The present study tested the applicability of this musical feedback system, called Jymmin®, in combination with strength-endurance exercises in a population of healthy older adults.Research design and methodsSixteen healthy, physically inactive older adults (5 males, 11 females) at the mean age of 70 years performed physical exercise in two conditions: A conventional work-out while listening passively music and a Jymmin® work-out, where musical sounds were created with one's work-out movements. According to the hypothesis that strength-endurance is increased during musical feedback exercise, parameters relating to strength-endurance were assessed, including exercise duration, number of repetitions, perceived exertion (RPE), and participants' mental state (Multidimensional Mood State Questionnaire; MDMQ).ResultsResults show that participants exercised significantly longer while doing Jymmin® (Mdn = 248.75 s) as compared to the conventional work-out (Mdn = 182.73 s), (Z = 3.408, p = 0.001). The RPE did not differ between conventional work-out and the Jymmin® condition, even though participants worked out significantly longer during the Jymmin® condition (Mdn = 14.50; Z = −0.905; p = 0.366). The results of the MDMQ showed no significant differences between both conditions (Z = −1.037; p = 0.300).Discussion and implicationsResults show that participants could work out longer while showing the same perceived exertion, relating to increased physical endurance. Music feedback work-out encouraged a greater degree of isometric contractions (muscle actively held at fixed length) and, therefore, less repetitions in this condition. In addition to the previously described effect on muscle effectivity, this non-stereotypic contraction pattern during music feedback training may have enhanced endurance in participants supporting them to better proportion energetic reserves during training (pacing).Clinical trial registrationIdentifier: DRKS00023645.

A pandemia COVID-19 forçou algumas mudanças como o teletrabalho e ensino remoto. O ensino remoto seja síncrono ou assíncrono assim como o teletrabalho se tornam cada vez mais presentes. Na academia as fábricas de software já existiam antes da pandemia como estratégia para a prática profissional dos alunos, mas a literatura carece de mais estratégias sobre formas de mensurar o aprendizado do aluno nesse tipo de prática profissional. Pensando nisso e analisando a experiência de outros colegas, criou-se uma proposta de modelo de gerenciamento de equipes de trabalho que desenvolvem softwares em instituições de ensino. O artigo teve como objetivo apresentar os principais requisitos para o protótipo, para tanto utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e análise qualitativa de outras experiências similares para construção do protótipo. Ainda sobre a perceptiva metodológica, trata-se de uma forma narrativa de relato de experiência. O presente relato descreve a experiência de construção do protótipo, cujos resultados e diagramas apontam para a efetividade. Infelizmente não houve tempo hábil para versões de teste em ambiente real, mas através desse trabalho foi possível criar as orientações e diagramas principais. Espera-se com o compartilhamento da experiência a troca de saberes e o avanço nesse segmento.

<p>This study proposes a prototypeAnd a possibility to converge both this quantum database and classical database. This study mostly identifies the gap between this classical database and quantum database and it proposes a hypothesis and prototype which can be implemented in future products. It is a way that can be used in future industrial product development on hybrid quantum computers. The existing concept used to consider oracle as a black box this study opens up the possibility for the quantum industry to develop the QASAM module so that we can develop a fully quantum database instead of using a classical database as BlackBox.As the Toffoli gate is basically an effective NAND gate it is possible to run any algorithm theoretically in quantum computers. So we will propose a logical design for memory management for the quantum database, security enhancement model, Quantum Recovery Manager & automatic storage management model and more for the quantum database which will ensure the quantum advantages.In this study, we will also explain the Quantum Vector Database as well as the possibility of improvement in duality quantum computing.It opens up a new scope, possibilities and research area in a new approach for quantum database and duality quantum computing </p>
RIS-Aided Mobile Localization Error Bounds Under Hardware Impairments

Published: August 2022

<p>Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are a recent yet revolutionary development in communications systems. Particularly applicable to millileter wave (mmWave) systems, these surfaces can increase localization performance and decrease vulnerability to environmental influences, all by adjusting the incoming signals' phase. At the same time, manufacturing ideal hardware to be deployed at the transceivers is not feasible nor practical. These non-linearities in hardware, collectively known hardware impairments (HWIs), cause signal degradation and adversely affect localization. In this paper, the effect of HWIs on RIS-aided localization is examined. Towards that, the mean squared error (MSE) of the user's position is found through a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and its functionality is verified by the position error bounds (PEB), derived from Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLB). Our numerical results show that active RISs mitigate the deteriorating effect of HWIs on the user's PEB. Based on our outcome, increasing the inter-RISs space generally creates more resolvable paths and leads to improved localization. </p>
Improving Radiation Pattern of Low profile Ultrawideband Omnidirectional Antennas
Authors: Li Guang 
Published: August 2022

<p>The pattern nulls of low profile ultrawideband (UWB) omnidirectional antennas in the main beam region cause the performance degradation of UWB wireless communication system in the null directions. In order to achieve ultrawide pattern bandwidth, a method to improve the radiation pattern of low profile UWB omnidirectional antennas is proposed in this letter. The mathematical operation of improving the radiation pattern is derived. A low profile UWB discone antenna is designed as a representative of the low profile UWB omnidirectional antennas, and the pattern characteristic is investigated. Then, the effects of the sleeves and modified cone on the antenna pattern and input impedance are analyzed using microwave simulation software. The results show that the pattern bandwidth is increased from 6.5:1 to 11.4:1. In the operating band, the pattern nulls along the entire phi plane are eliminated, and the minimum value of the pattern nulls is optimized from -35.0 to -12.4 dB. The corresponding gain exceeds 0.2 dBi in the main beam region of the theta direction 30° to 90°. The optimization is based on a constant volume of 0.774 <em>ka</em>. Finally, an antenna prototype is fabricated and the measurement results are consistent with the simulation results, verifying the validity of the method </p>
A compact frequency reconfigurable beam-switching antenna based on a single-layer FSS
Authors: Li Guang 
Published: August 2022

<p>In this letter, a compact frequency reconfigurable beam-switching antenna based on a single-layer frequency selective face (FSS) is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a dual-band omnidirectional antenna and a hexagonal single-layer FSS. The dual-band omnidirectional antenna is designed as a radiation source and surrounded by the FSS. Each FSS unit consists of two crossed patches and diodes. Frequency reconfigurable characteristics at 2.4 or 5 GHz are achieved by switching the states of the diodes on the single-layer FSS. With specific combinations of FSS units, the omnidirectional radiation patterns can be transformed into directional ones scanning along the entire azimuth plane. To validate the design, a prototype is fabricated and measured. The results show that the proposed single-layer FSS antenna can perform a 12-step scan along the azimuth plane at 2.4 and 5 GHz, respectively </p>
