Published: July 2022

Hard water contains high mineral content, especially calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). Hard water can cause health problems and damage to household appliances within a certain period of time. In this study, zeolite-based materials have been synthesized as adsorbent materials to reduce the concentration of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the hard water obtained from Brondong district of Lamongan, East Java. Zeolite based material was synthesized with aluminum sources derived from beverage cans and silica from silica gel. In this study, zeolite was prepared by microwave (ZM) and without the microwave method (ZNM). The amount of ZM was 10.8121 grams, or 99.1% of the yield, and ZNM was 10.5387 grams or 99.15% of the yield. The FTIR results indicate some characteristic peaks of T-O and T-O-T bonds (T = Si/Al) at 460, 670, 726, and 980–1100 cm1. The diffractogram show that ZNM is still dominated by silica-based materials, while ZM although it still shows dominant amorphous silica peaks, some characteristic zeolite peaks also appear. The SEM results show the shapes of agglomerated tiny particles for both materials. In this study, the synthesized zeolite can reduce the concentration of Ca2+ ions by 84–97% and Mg2+ ions by 23-51%. The optimal time obtained in this study was 30 minutes, while the optimal mass obtained was 0.5 grams for all materials.
Artificial aquifer recharge: systematic mapping study
Authors: Ousrhire Aicha , Ghafiri Abdessamad 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Groundwater is one of the most important natural resources on the planet Earth. Nevertheless, many aquifers are overexploited especially in arid and semi-arid regions where groundwater is the only source of water supply as surface water resources are limited and insufficient to meet all water needs. The preservation of this resource is paramount to ensure its sustainability, hence the invention of the practice of artificial aquifer recharge (AAR), also known as managed aquifer recharge. It is a practice invented to supplement the replenishment of the aquifer with human-controlled methods to prevent groundwater levels from becoming too low due to over-abstraction. The objective of this paper is to structure the existing AAR literature, highlight the most recent stage and aspects that have been covered, and identify the open issues, knowledge gaps, aspects that require improvement, and the research trends in that field. To this end, a systematic mapping study has been conducted on the literature published about AAR from 2013 until 2015 to categorize and summarize the existing publications concerning the research in that field. Application of the systematic mapping study method resulted in 204 publications which are the relevant papers synthesized following exclusion and inclusion criteria and served to answer 7 research questions defined at the beginning of the study. The obtained results will serve as a basis for future research and will allow the development of a better understanding and a broad overview of this field to direct and guide future AAR projects.
Research on eco-environmental flow based on the improved holistic method and its application in Wei River Basin
Authors: Wei Na , Lu Kunming , Xie Jiancang , Yang Feng 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Water use of the ecosystem in the Wei River has been greatly reduced because of fierce competition between social–economic and eco-environmental water use, which leads to serious eco-environmental issues. Stakeholder theory was applied to the water resources utilization, and an improved holistic method for determining the eco-environmental flow was proposed. Considering the principles of inflow of tributaries, water intake from key sections, water balance and eco-environmental function regionalization, the new method integrated several methods to determine the water demand for the sub-items of eco-environmental flow. The three-level management targets of eco-environmental flow were proposed based on the opinions of stakeholders. Taking Shaanxi Section of the Wei River as an example, the eco-environmental flow at different levels was given for five key sections. The results show that: (1) the improved holistic method integrates multiple methods and models, making the calculation results of eco-environmental flow more scientific and reasonable; (2) the three-level management targets of eco-environmental flow can adapt to development and change in practical applications, and are operable and dynamic; (3) as a representative of the public benefits of ecosystems, government participates in the discussion of stakeholders and better coordinates competition among stakeholders. The improved method provides a new idea and reference for comprehensively and scientifically promoting reservoir ecological regulation.
An enhanced method for the removal of methyl violet dye using magnetite nanoparticles as an adsorbent: Isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic study
Authors: Tiwari Aditya Narayan , Tapadia Kavita , Thakur Chandrakant 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
A green method has been developed using Gilloy (Tinospora Cordifolia) shoot extract to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). A further modification of MNPs was performed using anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), to remove cationic dye methyl violet (MV) efficiently from the solution. As an adsorbent, SDS modified MNPs (SDS-MNPs) were tested for their ability to remove MV dye. Synthesized MNPs were characterized by ultra violet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In batch adsorption experiments, the effect of adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, time, and pH was evaluated. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for MV dye was found to be 174.2 mg g−1. The adsorption of dye onto the adsorbent followed Langmuir's isotherm. It was shown that the adsorption kinetics of dyes obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Using thermodynamic parameters, spontaneous and exothermic adsorption was determined. As synthesized nanoparticles are magnetic in nature, regeneration and reusability of MNPs were investigated.
Usability and Acceptability of a Palliative Care Mobile Intervention for Older Adults With Heart Failure and Caregivers: Observational Study
Authors: Villalobos Jennifer Paola , Bull Sheana Salyers , Portz Jennifer Dickman 
Published: July 2022

Background
Heart failure is a leading cause of death among older adults. Digital health can increase access to and awareness of palliative care for patients with advanced heart failure and their caregivers. However, few palliative care digital interventions target heart failure or patients’ caregivers, family, and friends, termed here as the social convoy. To address this need, the Social Convoy Palliative Care (Convoy-Pal) mobile intervention was developed to deliver self-management tools and palliative care resources to older adults with advanced heart failure and their social convoys.

Objective
The goal of the research was to test the acceptability and usability of Convoy-Pal among older adults with advanced heart failure and their social convoys.

Methods
Convoy-Pal includes tablet-based and smartwatch tools facilitating self-management and access to palliative care resources. Older adults and social convoy caregivers completed an acceptability and usability interview via Zoom, including open-ended questions and the Mobile Application Rating Scale: User Version (uMARS). Descriptive analysis was conducted to summarize the results of open-ended feedback and self-reported acceptability and usability.

Results
A total of 26 participants (16 older adults and 10 social convoy caregivers) participated in the interview. Overall, the feedback from users was good (uMARS mean 3.96/5 [SD 0.81]). Both older adults and social convoy caregivers scored information provided by Convoy-Pal the highest (mean 4.22 [SD 0.75] and mean 4.21 [SD 0.64], respectively). Aesthetics, functionality, and engagement were also perceived as acceptable (mean >3.5). Open-ended feedback resulted in 5 themes including improvements to goal setting, monitoring tools, daily check-in call feature, portal and mobile app, and convoy assessment.

Conclusions
Convoy-Pal was perceived as acceptable with good usability among older adults with heart failure and their social convoy caregivers. With good acceptability, Convoy-Pal may ultimately lead to increased access to palliative care resources and facilitate self-management among older adults with heart failure and their social convoy caregivers.

Published: July 2022

Background
Although climate change is one of the biggest global health threats, individual-level and short-term data on direct exposure and health impacts are still scarce. Wearable electronic devices (wearables) present a potential solution to this research gap. Wearables have become widely accepted in various areas of health research for ecological momentary assessment, and some studies have used wearables in the field of climate change and health. However, these studies vary in study design, demographics, and outcome variables, and existing research has not been mapped.

Objective
In this review, we aimed to map existing research on wearables used to detect direct health impacts and individual exposure during climate change–induced weather extremes, such as heat waves or wildfires.

Methods
We conducted a scoping review according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) framework and systematically searched 6 databases (PubMed [MEDLINE], IEEE Xplore, CINAHL [EBSCOhost], WoS, Scopus, Ovid [MEDLINE], and Google Scholar). The search yielded 1871 results. Abstracts and full texts were screened by 2 reviewers (MK and IM) independently using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria comprised studies published since 2010 that used off-the-shelf wearables that were neither invasive nor obtrusive to the user in the setting of climate change–related weather extremes. Data were charted using a structured form, and the study outcomes were narratively synthesized.

Results
The review included 55,284 study participants using wearables in 53 studies. Most studies were conducted in upper–middle-income and high-income countries (50/53, 94%) in urban environments (25/53, 47%) or in a climatic chamber (19/53, 36%) and assessed the health effects of heat exposure (52/53, 98%). The majority reported adverse health effects of heat exposure on sleep, physical activity, and heart rate. The remaining studies assessed occupational heat stress or compared individual- and area-level heat exposure. In total, 26% (14/53) of studies determined that all examined wearables were valid and reliable for measuring health parameters during heat exposure when compared with standard methods.

Conclusions
Wearables have been used successfully in large-scale research to measure the health implications of climate change–related weather extremes. More research is needed in low-income countries and vulnerable populations with pre-existing conditions. In addition, further research could focus on the health impacts of other climate change–related conditions and the effectiveness of adaptation measures at the individual level to such weather extremes.
Nurses’ Experiences After Implementation of an Organization-Wide Electronic Medical Record: Qualitative Descriptive Study
Authors: Jedwab Rebecca M , Manias Elizabeth , Hutchinson Alison M , Dobroff Naomi , Redley Bernice 
Published: July 2022

Background
Reports on the impact of electronic medical record (EMR) systems on clinicians are mixed. Currently, nurses’ experiences of adopting a large-scale, multisite EMR system have not been investigated. Nurses are the largest health care workforce; therefore, the impact of EMR implementation must be investigated and understood to ensure that patient care quality, changes to nurses’ work, and nurses themselves are not negatively impacted.

Objective
This study aims to explore Australian nurses’ postimplementation experiences of an organization-wide EMR system.

Methods
This qualitative descriptive study used focus group and individual interviews and an open-ended survey question to collect data between 12 and 18 months after the implementation of an EMR across 6 hospital sites of a large health care organization in Victoria, Australia. Data were collected between November 2020 and June 2021, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysis comprised complementary inductive and deductive approaches. Specifically, reflexive thematic analysis was followed by framework analysis by the coding of data as barriers or facilitators to nurses’ use of the EMR using the Theoretical Domains Framework.

Results
A total of 158 nurses participated in this study. The EMR implementation dramatically changed nurses’ work and how they viewed their profession, and nurses were still adapting to the EMR implementation 18 months after implementation. Reflexive thematic analysis led to the development of 2 themes: An unintentional divide captured nurses’ feelings of division related to how using the EMR affected nurses, patient care, and the broader nursing profession. This time, it’s personal detailed nurses’ beliefs about the EMR implementation leading to bigger changes to nurses as individuals and nursing as a profession than other changes that nurses have experienced within the health care organization. The most frequent barriers to EMR use by nurses were related to the Theoretical Domains Framework domain of environmental context and resources. Facilitators of EMR use were most often related to memory, attention, and decision processes. Most barriers and facilitators were related to motivation.

Conclusions
Nurses perceived EMR implementation to have a mixed impact on the provision of quality patient care and on their colleagues. Implementing technology in a health care setting was perceived as a complex endeavor that impacted nurses’ perceptions of their autonomy, ways of working, and professional roles. Potential negative consequences were related to nursing workforce retention and patient care delivery. Motivation was the main behavioral driver for nurses’ adoption of EMR systems and hence a key consideration for implementing interventions or organizational changes directed at nurses.

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Objective </strong>– Studies using claims databases reported that SARS-CoV-2 infection >30 days earlier increased the incidence of type 1 diabetes. Using exact dates of diabetes diagnosis from the national register in Scotland linked to virology laboratory data we sought to replicate this finding. </p>
<p><strong>Research Design and Methods </strong>– A cohort of 1,849,411 individuals aged <35 years without diabetes, including all those in Scotland who subsequently tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, was followed from 1 March 2020 to 22 November 2021. Incident type 1 diabetes was ascertained from the national registry. Using Cox regression we tested the association of time-updated infection with incident diabetes. Trends in incidence of type 1 diabetes in the population from 2015-2021 were also estimated in a generalised additive model. </p>
<p><strong>Results </strong>– There were 365,080 individuals who had at least one detected SARS-CoV-2 infection during follow-up and 1074 who developed type 1 diabetes. The rate ratio for incident type 1 diabetes associated with first positive test for SARS-CoV-2 (reference category: no previous infection) was 0.86 (95% CI 0.62 to 1.21) for infection > 30 days earlier and 2.62 (95% CI 1.81 to 3.78) for infection in the previous 30 days. However negative and positive SARS-CoV-2 tests were more frequent in the days surrounding diabetes presentation. In those aged 0-14 years incidence of type 1 diabetes during 2020-2021 was 20% higher than the 7-year average. </p>
<p><strong>Conclusions </strong>– Type 1 diabetes incidence in children increased during the pandemic. However the cohort analysis suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection itself was not the cause of this increase. </p>

The study was conducted in Alappuzha, Thrissur, Palakkad and Idukki districts of Kerala, India during 2020–2021 to analyse the risk attitude of vegetable farmers. The study examined the personal and social characteristics of respondents and the association of these characteristics with risk attitude. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 270 vegetable farmers from 6 panchayats representing the Special Agricultural Zones for vegetables in Kerala. Collected data were analyzed using statistical methods like mean, Kruskal-Wallis test, correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. The study revealed that majority (74.07%) of the farmers belonged to a medium category of risk attitude. Majority (55.18%) of the farmers were in the age group of 35−55 years, 46.29% had gone up to middle school, 72.59% of the farmers had an area below 2.31 acres and 67.4% respondents were engaged in vegetable farming and allied works and 54.07% had economic water scarcity. It was noticed that majority of the respondents were in the low category in the case of vegetable farming experience (61.48%), annual income (55.56%), innovative proneness (56.67%), economic motivation (56.3%), extension participation (70%), social participation (94.44%) and high category with regard to credit orientation (53.7%). Correlation analysis revealed that variables area under vegetable cultivation, education, annual income, irrigation potential, extension participation, innovative proneness, economic motivation and social participation were positively and significantly corelated with risk attitude of respondents at 1% level and at 5% level. Regression analysis revealed that 60% of the variation in farmer risk attitude was explained by the independent variables.

The Propensity to Risky Behaviour and Subjective Risk Assessment Among Selected Groups of Divers
Authors: Wiesner Wojciech , Siermontowski Piotr , Pawelec Iwona 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In this study, it was assumed that the propensity to risk behavior is a relatively persistent feature of an individual’s behavior. A person prone to risk, having the choice of taking a risky or cautious behavior, usually chooses to choose a risky behavior. The level of propensity to risk is related to the perception of the size of the threat and the motivational tendency to risk behavior. Risk management, and therefore managing your own safety, is a skill that is particularly important among people who undertake activities with a high level of risk. These include all underwater activities. The aim of the research was to find an answer to the question of whether there is a relationship between the level of risk behavior and the subjectively assessed risk in diving? Also, are there differences between different groups of divers in terms of risk behavior?
112 divers from public services (military formations, police, PSP) participated in the study, of which the results of 67 people were finally analyzed. The Ryszard Student’s Risk Behavior Test, the Makarowski Risk Acceptance Scale and the proprietary subjective risk assessment questionnaire were used. It has been shown that among all professional groups of divers, the group of policemen is more prone to risky behaviors than the other groups. No other dependencies have been confirmed.
The Effect of Subacute Poisoning with Deltamethrin on the Levels of Interleukin 1ß and Tumour Necrosis Factor Α in the Livers and Kidneys of Mice
Authors: Nieradko-Iwanicka Barbara , Borzęcki Grzegorz , Orłowski Marcin 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Deltamethrin is a type II pyrethroid. Deltamethrin’s action is characterised by nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and immunotoxicity.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of poisoning with deltamethrin on the levels of interleukin1ß and TNFα in the livers and kidneys of mice.
A total of 24 female mice were divided into 3 groups of 8:
- controls,
- receiving deltamethrin i.p. at the dose of 41.5 mg/kg for 28 days
- receiving deltamethrin i.p. at the dose of 8.3 mg/kg for 28 days.
On day 29 the animals were euthanised, livers and kidneys were obtained, homogenised and centrifuged. The supernatant was used for measuring IL-1ß and TNFα concentration with ELISA tests. The results were analysed with Statsoft Statistica.
The interleukin 1ß concentrations were significantly higher in the kidneys (18.30±16.85) of mice exposed to the higher dose of deltamethrin than in the controls (8.15±4.66) (p<0.05). In the livers of mice receiving 41.5mg/kg deltamethrin it was 203±71.63 vs 46.77±34.79 (p<0.05). In the livers of animals receiving the lower dose it was higher than in the control group (96.51±24.73) (p<0.05). The TNF α was elevated in the kidneys of mice exposed to the higher dose of deltamethrin (6.56±3.26 vs 2.89±1.57)(p<0.05).
Conclusion: Deltamethrin produces a significant increase of interleukin 1ß in the livers and kidneys of mice and so the cytokine seems to be a good marker of hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in the course of subacute poisoning.
