Authors: Siette Joyce , Dodds Laura , Surian Didi , Prgomet Mirela , Dunn Adam , Westbrook Johanna 
Published: August 2022

BackgroundThe relationship between social contact and quality of life is well-established within the general population. However, limited data exist about the extent of social interactions in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) providing long-term accommodation and care. We aimed to record the frequency and duration of interpersonal interactions among residents in RACFs and identify the association between residents’ interpersonal interactions and quality of life (QoL).Materials and methodsA multi-methods study, including time and motion observations and a QoL survey, was conducted between September 2019 to January 2020. Thirty-nine residents from six Australian RACFs were observed between 09:30–17:30 on weekdays. Observations included residents’ actions, location of the action, and who the resident was with during the action. At the end of the observation period, residents completed a QoL survey. The proportion of time residents spent on different actions, in which location, and with whom were calculated, and correlations between these factors and QoL were analysed.ResultsA total of 312 hours of observations were conducted. Residents spent the greatest proportion of time in their own room (45.2%, 95%CI 40.7–49.8), alone (47.9%, 95%CI 43.0–52.7) and being inactive (25.6%, 95%CI 22.5–28.7). Residents were also largely engaged in interpersonal communication (20.2%, 95%CI 17.9–22.5) and self-initiated or scheduled events (20.5%, 95%CI 18.0–23.0). Residents’ interpersonal communication was most likely to occur in the common area (29.3%, 95%CI 22.9–35.7), residents’ own room (26.7%, 95%CI 21.0–32.4) or the dining room (24.6%, 95%CI 18.9–30.2), and was most likely with another resident (54.8%, 95%CI 45.7–64.2). Quality of life scores were low (median = 0.68, IQR = 0.54–0.76). Amount of time spent with other residents was positively correlated with QoL (r = 0.39, p = 0.02), whilst amount of time spent with facility staff was negatively correlated with QoL (r = -0.45, p = 0.008).Discussion and conclusionsOur findings confirm an established association between social interactions and improved QoL. Opportunities and activities which encourage residents to engage throughout the day in common facility areas can support resident wellbeing.

Background
Due to the possibility of asymptomatic pneumonia in children with COVID-19 leading to overexposure to radiation and problems in limited-resource settings, we conducted a nationwide, multi-center study to determine the risk factors of pneumonia in children with COVID-19 in order to create a pediatric pneumonia predictive score, with score validation.

Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study done by chart review of all children aged 0–15 years admitted to 13 medical centers across Thailand during the study period. Univariate and multivariate analyses as well as backward and forward stepwise logistic regression were used to generate a final prediction model of the pneumonia score. Data during the pre-Delta era was used to create a prediction model whilst data from the Delta one was used as a validation cohort.

Results
The score development cohort consisted of 1,076 patients in the pre-Delta era, and the validation cohort included 2,856 patients in the Delta one. Four predictors remained after backward and forward stepwise logistic regression: age < 5 years, number of comorbidities, fever, and dyspnea symptoms. The predictive ability of the novel pneumonia score was acceptable with the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.677 and a well-calibrated goodness-of-fit test (p = 0.098). The positive likelihood ratio for pneumonia was 0.544 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.491–0.602) in the low-risk category, 1.563 (95% CI: 1.454–1.679) in the moderate, and 4.339 (95% CI: 2.527–7.449) in the high-risk.

Conclusion
This study created an acceptable clinical prediction model which can aid clinicians in performing an appropriate triage for children with COVID-19.

Influence of Style of Parenting and Socioeconomic Status on Noble Character/ Pengaruh Pola Asuh Orang Tua dan Status Sosial Ekonomi Terhadap Sikap Mulia
Authors: Muzakki M Saidul 
Published: August 2022

Establishing a noble character is one of the goals of Indonesia’s national education. The factors that shape a noble character become an important agenda of the study. This study, therefore, aims to determine the disparity of noble attitudes based on socioeconomic statuses and parenting patterns between girls of madrasah tsanawiyah in the Islamic boarding schools and those girls in the Islamic boarding school (pesantren). Data were collected from student questionnaires. This study uses the ex-post facto method with a 2x2 factorial design. The results of the study found that there are differences in noble characters based on the patterns of parenting. There are differences in noble characters based on the patterns of parenting between girl students who live in Islamic boarding schools and those who do not live in Islamic boarding schools. Also, there is no difference between students with low and high socioeconomic statuses. There is no interaction between the influence of parenting and socioeconomic status on noble characters.

Media’s Roles in Reporting Corruption in the Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC) Lands Restitution Process in Fako Division: 2014-2021
Authors: Matute Jonas Menyoli , Ngange Kingsley Lyonga , Moki Stephen Mokondo 
Published: August 2022

Media’s roles in exposing corruption is itemised in the CDC land restitution process in Fako Division of Cameroon, captioned as “The Land Grabbing Saga in Fako Division” by newspapers. Journalism in general and investigative reporting in particular, play a critical role in raising consciousness of and fighting against corruption. It is one of the most effective means of raising public consciousness about corruption. It is in this light that the researchers set out to investigate the actual role played by the media in reporting corruption in the CDC land restitution process. Two qualitative research methods were used to gather data. The first method, the qualitative content analysis, examined contents of four editions of CRTV Buea Press Club radio programme and also exploited contents of some newspapers and online media platforms on corruption in the CDC land restitution process. The second research method, in-depth interview, was used to gather data from some elites of Fako Division, members of the affected villages, journalists who reported on the corruption, some accused persons and CDC officials to ascertain media’s role in exposing corruption. The data reveal that the media played three roles in exposing corruption in the CDC land restitution process: giving information and creating awareness; public education; and prompting peers (other journalists) to also report on corruption. The elites and members of the affected communities attested that some of them were not aware of any corrupt practices until they heard about it on CRTV Buea Press Club and later followed it on newspapers and online media platforms. Findings also show that media investigative reports corroborated evidence to establish the occurrence of corruption in the restitution process. The media exposed this issue by naming and shaming those involved in the corruption (publishing their names and pictures). Amongst other things, this study recommends that the media should be considered as an important tool in the fight against corruption; those interested in exposing corruption in the media should be involved in investigative journalism that will enable them back their reports with documented evidence since corruption is a complex crime. Also, people in public offices should be compelled by law to make available information that is of public interest and good to journalists to enable them expose societal ills (like corruption), especially in public offices and spheres.
Turning a Blind Eye and Unformulated Knowledge in the Family
Authors: Keini Noga , Zerem-Ulman Vardit 
Published: August 2022

This article addresses the issue of blindness, or turning a blind eye, employing two alternative realms: Psychoanalysis, and System and Family Therapy. Reference is made to deliberately turning a blind eye to well-established facts as part of a mental mechanism in individuals for whom dealing with reality is unbearably difficult. A disregard for facts may be viewed as an instrument that eventually leads to a distortion of reality and to deficient, unconsolidated self-esteem, with shades at times of psychosis. The subject is approached from two opposing realms, to underscore the importance of psychoanalysis as well as that of system and family therapy in the present context [11]. Two clinical cases are illustrated.

Is Federalization a Corruption-Abatement Strategy in Developing Countries?
Authors: Fabella Raul , Daway-Ducanes Sarah Lynne , Jandoc Karl Robert , Arzadon Irene Jo 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Would a shift to a Federal system raise or lower corruption in low-income countries? Local ownership, which is a strong argument for control of corruption under a Federal system, may not always be effective in jurisdictions with weak institutions. Our theoretical model shows that the net effect of these conflicting pressures cannot be determined a priori. Thus, we test empirically whether de jure federalism and/or de facto federalism are each a good predictor of control of corruption. We find that in countries with sufficiently high quality of governance or levels of development, neither de jure federalism nor de facto federalism matters as much as other dimensions of governance. However, in countries with poor governance, de jure federalism may have an adverse effect on control of corruption. A developing economy, which ranks poorly in terms of governance, cannot expect a reduction in corruption to follow a shift to a Federal system.

Abstract

Objectives
The estimates of biological variation (BV) have traditionally been determined using direct methods, which present limitations. In response to this issue, two papers have been published addressing these limitations by employing indirect methods. Here, we present a new procedure, based on indirect methods that analyses data collected within a multicenter pilot study. Using this method, we obtain CVI estimates and calculate confidence intervals (CI), using the EFLM-BVD CVI estimates as gold standard for comparison.

Methods
Data were collected over a 18-month period for 7 measurands, from 3 Spanish hospitals; inclusion criteria: patients 18–75 years with more than two determinations. For each measurand, four different strategies were carried out based on the coefficient of variation ratio (rCoeV) and based on the use of the bootstrap method (OS1, RS2 and RS3). RS2 and RS3 use symmetry reference change value (RCV) to clean database.

Results
RS2 and RS3 had the best correlation for the CVI estimates with respect to EFLM-BVD. RS2 used the symmetric RCV value without eliminating outliers, while RS3 combined RCV and outliers. When using the rCoeV and OS1 strategies, an overestimation of the CVI value was obtained.

Conclusions
Our study presents a new strategy for obtaining robust CVI estimates using an indirect method together with the value of symmetric RCV to select the target population. The CVI estimates obtained show a good correlation with those published in the EFLM-BVD database. Furthermore, our strategy can resolve some of the limitations encountered when using direct methods such as calculating confidence intervals.
Total bilirubin assay differences may cause inconsistent treatment decisions in neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Objectives
To assess interlaboratory variability of total serum bilirubin (TSB) results in newborns. Initiated following a clinical incident in which a neonate was transferred to a tertiary hospital for treatment of severe hyperbilirubinemia but on arrival was reclassified into a lower risk category due to a 20% difference in TSB between laboratories.

Methods
Fresh residual plasma samples from hospital-born infants were pooled to obtain 11 samples across a range of total bilirubin concentrations. Aliquots were light-protected and measured on 7 commercial platforms at 4 accredited medical laboratories. Data from The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Programs’ (RCPAQAP) Neonatal Bilirubin program was analysed.

Results
Twenty-four to 30% difference in results for individual samples, largely due to calibration differences between assays. When interpreted according to guidelines, results from different platforms would have led to different clinical interventions in some cases. RCPAQAP results showed significant within-method bias but were not shown to be commutable with patient samples.

Conclusions
There are clinically significant method-dependent differences in TSB results from neonatal samples, consistent with our clinical incident. The differences are largely due to lack of standardisation of calibrator values. This has implications for healthcare resource use and possibly for the neurodevelopment of infants. Intervention is needed at a number of levels, including clinical reporting of incidents arising from discordant results, commitment by manufacturers to ensure metrological traceability of methods with sufficiently low uncertainty in the final measurements, and availability of commutable quality assurance material to monitor assay performance, especially at the clinical decision points for neonatal jaundice.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study duals and approximate duals of von Neumann–Schatten
p-frames. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a dual for a von Neumann–Schatten
p-frame. Also, von Neumann–Schatten q-Riesz bases are characterized and it is shown that they share many useful properties with their corresponding notions in Hilbert spaces. Especially, it is focused on the uniqueness of their duals, and some equivalent conditions under which a von Neumann–Schatten p-frame admits a unique dual are derived. Moreover, approximate duality for von Neumann–Schatten p-Bessel sequences is introduced and some of the important properties of approximate duals are obtained, mainly their stability under different kinds of perturbations is considered.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
In this study, the possibility of producing colored geopolymer concrete consisting of slag as a binder and studying the effect of pigment on some properties of geopolymer concrete is discussed. Here two types of pigments (chromium oxide “green” and iron oxide hydroxide “yellow”) were added to the geopolymer concrete and some tests such as slump values, compressive strength, flexural strength, and permeability test were conducted. The results showed that the best percentage of pigment addition was 1% of the weight of the slag, and with increasing addition, the mechanical properties began to deteriorate.
An Aristotelian Conception of Time(s)
Authors: Brook Angus 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIn recent publications, there has been something of an emerging debate about the relationship between powers ontology and current accounts of time. It seems that if powers ontology is to have bearing on contemporary metaphysical accounts of time, some work needs to be done to show how powers ontology might overcome the apparent contradictions that have arisen in this emerging debate. One avenue to pursue is to test out the possibility of wresting a powers temporal ontology out of a re-reading of Aristotle’s account of time with a specific focus on his account of motion and potency. This article will make an effort to make some headway here.
Prozessnahe indirekte Oberflächencharakterisierung von laserchemisch gefertigten Abtragskonturen
Authors: Mikulewitsch Merlin , Stöbener Dirk , Fischer Andreas 
Published: August 2022

Zusammenfassung
Die Fertigungsgeschwindigkeit der chemischen Laserbearbeitung (LCM) ist derzeit begrenzt, um störende Siedeblasen in der Prozessflüssigkeit zu vermeiden. Eine Erhöhung erfordert eine Anpassung des Laserstrahls oder der Lasereigenschaften. Das derzeitige Verständnis der Mechanismen des Oberflächenabtrags ist für eine gezielte Anpassung jedoch unzureichend. Für ein besseres Prozessverständnis bzw. eine präzise Prozessmodellierung sind prozessbegleitende Messungen der Oberflächengeometrie, der Oberflächentemperatur und der Siedeblasen erforderlich. Aufgrund der komplexen Prozessumgebung existiert jedoch keine geeignete In-Prozess-Messtechnik. Deshalb wird ein indirekter Ansatz zur Geometriemessung auf Basis der konfokalen Fluoreszenzmikroskopie untersucht, der das Potenzial für eine prozessnahe Anwendung im LCM-Prozess bietet. Im Ergebnis wird gezeigt, dass die Mikrogeometrie verschiedener Oberflächen unter LCM-äquivalenten Prozessbedingungen wie dicken Flüssigkeitsschichten und Gasblasen im Strahlengang indirekt messbar ist. Darüber hinausgehend ermöglicht der Messaufbau kombinierte fluoreszenzbasierte Messungen von Geometrie und Temperatur.

Über die Abgrenzung von Auflösungskonzepten in der industriellen Computertomografie
Authors: Binder Felix , Hausotte Tino 
Published: August 2022

Zusammenfassung
Unter dem Begriff der Auflösung wird für gewöhnlich das kleinste messbare Merkmal eines Messsystems verstanden. In der dimensionellen Computertomografie hingegen haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren mehrere Auflösungskonzepte etabliert, die aufgrund der fehlenden Normung zueinander im Kontrast stehen. In diesem Beitrag werden die drei häufigsten Konzepte, die Voxelgröße, die Ortsauflösung und die metrologische Strukturauflösung in Kürze vorgestellt. Anschließend wird eine Abgrenzung zwischen den Konzepten getroffen und ein Integration der bestehenden Konzepte in ein gemeinsames Amplituden-Wellenlängen Diagramm diskutiert.
