Abstract
Aims: Proneurotensin is a strong predictor of cardiometabolic disease, however, the effect of lifestyle change on proneurotensin has not been investigated. Middle Eastern (ME) immigrants represent the largest and fastest growing minority population in Europe and are a high-risk population for obesity and type 2 diabetes. In this randomised controlled lifestyle intervention (RCT) addressing ME immigrants to Sweden where weight-loss was previously studied as the main outcome, as a secondary analysis we aimed to study change in proneurotensin during follow-up and if baseline proneurotensin predicted weight loss. Methods: Immigrants from the Middle East at high risk for type 2 diabetes were invited to participate in this RCT adapted lifestyle intervention of four months’ duration. The intervention group (N=48) received a culturally adapted lifestyle intervention comprising seven group sessions and a cooking class addressing healthier diet and increased physical activity. The control group (N=44) received treatment as usual with information to improve lifestyle habits on their own. Data assessed using mixed effects regression.Outcomes: Primary outcome; change in proneurotensin. Secondary outcome; change in BMI in relation to baseline plasma concentration of proneurotensin. Results: During the four months follow up, weight was significantly reduced in the intervention (-2.5 kg) compared to the control group (0.8 kg) (β -0.12, 95% CI -0.24 to -0.01, P=0.028). Proneurotensin increased to a significantly greater extent in the intervention compared to the control group during follow up (28.2 vs 3.5 pmol/L) (β 11.4; 4.8 to 18.02, P<0.001). Change over time in BMI was associated with baseline proneurotensin (β 0.02; 0.01 to 0.04, P=0.041).Conclusion: In consistence with data from surgical weight loss, this RCT paradoxically shows increased levels of proneurotensin during a multifactorial lifestyle intervention resulting in weight loss. Long term studies of proneurotensin following weight loss are needed.

The aim: The Japanese word “ikigai” indicates “something to live for” and “having a purpose in life”. Ikigai or well-being, has been associated with many positive outcomes in the physical and mental health of elderly people. In this study, the relationship between ikigai and level of physical activity and polypharmacy was examined in a Turkish population.
Material and methods: Both telephonic interviews and face-to-face interviews were conducted with 307 participants (59.2 % women) who completed the Ikigai-9 Turkey Scale and provided demographic information.
Results: Correlations between groups (polypharmacy vs. non-polypharmacy) were analyzed with an independent t-test and analysis of variance. The means of the ikigai scores were statistically significant in the polypharmacy (24.04±8.72) and non-polypharmacy 32.64±7.53) groups (p<0.05). The number of drugs used was negatively correlated with duration of exercise per week (1.32±1.82, correlation coefficient = 0.538, p<0.05).
Conclusions: The level of ikigai was negatively correlated with polypharmacy and positively correlated with duration of physical activity. An individual’s ikigai should be assessed by healthcare providers to maximize positive outcomes later in life

A ordem verbo-sujeito: entre a competência comunicativa e gramatical
Authors: Ataíde Cleber 
Published: May 2022

Neste artigo, defendo a ideia de que o fenômeno da ordenação dos constituintes está a serviço da finalidade comunicativa de veicular informação. Baseado no princípio cognitivo-icônico proposto por Givón (1990), Croft (1990) e Delbecque (2006), mostro que ordenação verbo-sujeito e objeto-verbo-sujeito na oração está associada, além das suas propriedades sintático-semânticas, a duas funções na organização dos textos: a primeira está condicionada a participar de estratégias que instauram a centralidade de um determinado tema no texto e, portanto, asseguram continuidade textual. Já a segunda, tende a ser estratégia de descontinuidade para inserir outros tópicos temáticos nos textos ou marcar discursivamente outros fluxos de atenção da mensagem. Além disso, apresento sumariamente sugestões de exercícios que proporcionem uma abordagem da sintaxe do sujeito em sala de aula.
CMMS Database Migration in Clinical Engineering: Penn Medicine's Experience
Authors: Panichelli Richard 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Database migration involves the transferring of data from one system to another system and typically is associated with information systems, database administration, relational databases, analytics, and business intelligence. Database migration requires careful planning and poses many challenges related to data assessment and cleansing, migration, testing, and managing risks throughout the project. This article describes the database migration activities associated with Penn Medicine's initiative to insource the clinical engineering department at Princeton Health into the health system's corporate information services department. Achieving established milestones throughout the project was pivotal to its successful execution. Defining key goals and making business decisions that would positively affect and support the migration also was imperative. Moreover, the experience described here highlights multiple stages of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) database migration project, conveys the importance of building internal and external relationships, and addresses additional ways to improve on future migration projects.
Is Face-to-Face Learning Better than Online Learning? Teachers’ voice on the Use of Google Workspace
Authors: Nuraeni Nuraeni 
Published: May 2022

The study focused on teachers’ voices on the use of Google Workspace (G-Workspace) for education amidst the pandemic. The objects of the study were seven participants. All the participants were teachers at Universitas Muslim Maros. The data was collected using a structured interview. The collected data was analysed using Miles and Huberman’s analysis. The result showed that from the perspectives of teachers, G-Workspace had been used as a group of applications to portray the real offline classroom. The most used applications were G-classroom, G-Meet and G-Mail. Unfortunately, there were some unpopular applications such as G-Calendar and G-Jamborad. G-Workspace promotes integrated applications and collaborative learning. From the result, the integration of the applications gave advantages to the participants as they could open some applications through G-Classroom. Meanwhile, working collaboratively was not the best option as the result of the lack of knowledge on collaborative online learning as well as the incompatible device from students. Notwithstanding, G-Workspace had helped most participants to achieve their learning objectives and they referred to it as helpful applications for learning. However, some participants believed that even though G-Workspace had been a medium for distance learning, they were not able to ensure students’ understanding of the material. Therefore, they chose face-to-face learning as the best way to deliver the teaching material

Authors: Akshitha Elango , Girish Shavi R. , Shankar Shanmugam , Lalithambigai Gunasekaran , John Smith 
Published: May 2022

Objectives:
The aim of the study was to assess the parental perceptions of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) dentinal staining using a pre-tested questionnaire and SDF treatment photographs.

Materials and Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, 300 parents of pre-school children with previous dental cavity experience were randomly selected to obtain data. Univariate analysis of the association of variables and the acceptability of SDF based on the treatment was conducted using the Mann–Whitney U test, P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. SDF treated photographs of anterior and posterior teeth were displayed and their understanding of the ease of application and dentinal staining was obtained using a pretested, self-structured, and closed-ended questionnaire by face-to-face interview method.

Results:
After interviewing 163 mothers and 137 fathers, 62.4% of participants acknowledged SDF staining on the posterior teeth to be satisfactory, but only 28.7% of parents made this equivalent judgment about anterior teeth (P < 0.005). In the absence of their child having behavioral barriers to conventional restorations, 60.3% of parents reported that they were likely to settle on SDF to treat their child’s posterior teeth, but only 21% of participants were likely to settle on SDF to treat their child’s anterior teeth. The level of acknowledgment of the parents increased with the children’s behavioral barriers.

Conclusion:
Although staining on anterior teeth was undesirable, most parents opted for this cavity management over advanced behavioral techniques. Therefore, the proper understanding of parental perceptions is important while choosing SDF for treating dental caries.
