Authors: Efthymiou Areti , Rovithis Michael , Kalaitzaki Argyroula 
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Older people are the basic users of health services. However, studies have shown that they have relatively low health literacy (HL) levels which results in many negative health outcomes. HL is a major challenge in public healthcare systems and an important determinant of optimised health outcomes and better quality of life for older people. On the other hand, professionals lack knowledge and skills to identify older people’s HL level and therefore, the delivery of care may be insufficient.
The study aimed to report the perspectives on the barriers and facilitators in communication during the medical encounter by both the healthcare professionals and older healthcare users.
Method: A qualitative study design was applied. One group with seven healthcare professionals and another one with five people over 60 years old discussed about HL knowledge and their experiences (attitudes and behaviors, barriers, and facilitators) of the healthcare professional -patient interaction. The focus groups took place virtually and were coordinated by the senior author. The discussions were analysed using the content analysis method.
Results: Communication facilitators during the healthcare professional-patient interaction as reported by the healthcare professionals included: the need to trust and collaborate with the older people, patients’ specific characteristics (high level of education, psychological resilience and good judgmental), carers’ participation, the use of clear language and a person-centred approach. Communication barriers were considered the older people’s rigid beliefs about their lifestyle, the age-related cognitive, psychological, and sensory deficits, the function, and the structure of the healthcare system (e.g., professionals’ excessive workload). On the other hand, older people mentioned the importance of being prepared to ask questions during the medical encounter, being respected and included in the decision-making process.
Conclusion: Easy-to-use Health Literacy training tools adapted to healthcare professionals’ everyday needs are considered necessary to improve the professionals-patients interaction, enhance their communication skills and promote the person-centred care within the framework of the Greek National Healthcare System. The integration of the tools as part of the training courses could prepare healthcare professionals with the enhanced the HL skills needed to improve the quality of care they provide and reduce the cost of care in general.

Published: November 2022

Background
High-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows the detection of macular pathology and involvement of the optic nerve in a wide spectrum of diseases. For the differentiation of diseased and healthy status, normal values of retinal layer segmentation are critical. Yet, normative values mostly cover adult populations with only sparse data for paediatric cohorts. We present data of retinal layer characteristics via OCT in a healthy paediatric cohort.

Methods
This prospective cross-sectional study screened 75 healthy children (male = 42, female = 33, range 4–17 years) without visual problems. OCT was performed with a peripapillary ring and macula scan protocol to determine paediatric normative values for routine parameters (peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (pRNFL), total macular volume (TMV), macular retinal thickness (RT)). The macula scan (6mm grid) was segmented using the device-inherent automated segmentation software (Heidelberg Eye Explorer) for retinal layers: RNFL, ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), inner nuclear layer (INL), outer plexiform layer (OPL), outer nuclear layer (ONL) in 9 segments each and mean of the 9 segments.

Results
We obtained OCT data of 72 children with mean age 12.49 years (standard deviation, SD, 2.18; minimum 3.93). Mean global pRNFL was 102.20 μm (SD 8.24), mean TMV 8.81 mm3 (0.30) and mean RT (all segments) 318.22 μm (10.19). Segmented macular retinal layer thicknesses (mean of all segments) were: RNFL 27.67 μm (2.14), GCL 41.94 μm (2.50), IPL 34.97 μm (2.10), INL 35.18 μm (2.15), OPL 29.06 μm (2.24), ONL 68.35 μm (6.20).

Conclusion
The OCT is a useful non-invasive imaging technique for the examination of the retina in children with short duration, high imaging resolution and no known adverse effects. Normative values may serve as a comparator for different neuropaediatric disorders and are first presented with this study using an up-to-date and standardized OCT imaging technique.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic was associated with far-reaching changes all over the world. Health care systems were and are also affected. Little is known about the impact of these changes and the duration of the pandemic on people with mental disorders. The aim of this longitudinal follow-up study was to investigate the mental health status, medical care provision, and attitudes towards the pandemic of these people at the end of the second pandemic lockdown in Germany in 2021, and to compare these findings with the results of 2020.MethodsPeople with mental disorders currently receiving treatment in the psychiatric outpatient department of the University Hospital Leipzig, Germany, were asked about depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), self-reported medical care provision, attitudes and social and emotional aspects of the pandemic (social support [ESSI], perceived stress [PSS-4], loneliness [UCLA-3-LS], and resilience [BRS]) using structured telephone interviews.ResultsIn total,N= 75 participants who had already participated in the first survey in 2020 took part in the follow-up telephone interviews. The most frequent clinician-rated diagnoses were attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (n= 21; 28.0%) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (n= 16; 21.3%). In comparison to 2020, a significantly higher proportion of participants reported no problems in receiving medical care provision. Compared to the previous year, the resilience of the participants had significantly decreased. Depressive symptoms, social support, perceived stress, and loneliness remained stable. Significantly more participants felt restricted by the pandemic-related government measures in 2021 than in 2020.ConclusionsThis study highlights the importance for continued efforts to maintain stable medical care provision for people with mental disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic, as except for a decrease in resilience, mental health status remained stable. Nonetheless there is still a need for continued treatment to stabilise and improve this status.

Published: November 2022

Background
Higher postoperative mortality has been observed among patients who received emergency colorectal surgery on the weekend compared to during the week. The aim of this study was to determine whether the weekday of emergency surgery affects the 30-day mortality and postoperative course in emergency colorectal surgery.

Methods
Prospectively acquired data from the 2010–2017 German StuDoQ|Colorectal surgery registries were analysed. Differences in 30-day mortality, transfer and length of stay (MTL30) (primary endpoints), postoperative complications, length of stay and pathological results of resected specimens (secondary endpoints) were assessed. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for postoperative outcome.

Results
In total, 1,174 patients were included in the analysis. Major postoperative complications and the need for reoperation were observed more frequently for emergency colorectal surgery performed during the week compared to the weekend (23.01 vs. 15.28%, p = 0.036 and 17.96% vs. 11.11%, p = 0.040, respectively). In contrast, patients who received emergency surgery on the weekend presented with significantly higher UICC tumour stages (UICC III 44.06 vs. 34.15%, p = 0.020) compared to patients with emergency colorectal surgery on a weekday. Emergency surgery performed during the week was an independent risk factor for the development of severe postoperative complications (OR 1.69 [1.04–2.74], p = 0.033) and need for reoperation (OR 1.79 [1.02–3.05], p = 0.041) in the multivariable analysis.

Conclusion
Emergency surgery for colorectal carcinoma in Germany is performed with equal postoperative MTL30 and mortality throughout the entire week. However, emergency surgery during the week seems to be associated with a higher rate of severe postoperative complications and reoperation.

Published: November 2022

Aims
Psychological First Aid is a brief intervention based on international guidance from the World Health Organisation. Free to access online training in the intervention was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic in UK. We aimed to determine the uptake of Psychological First Aid training among healthcare workers in care homes in the UK and to assess its effects on their wellbeing.

Design
This was a sequential mixed methods design.

Methods
Healthcare workers (nurses and carers) working in care homes in the UK were surveyed about their uptake of Psychological First Aid, their stress, coping efficacy and the key concepts of Psychological First Aid (safety, calmness, hopefulness, connectedness, and accomplishment). Those that completed the Psychological First Aid training were asked to share their experiences via qualitative survey. Data collection was conducted between June and October 2021. Analyses included descriptive statistics and regression analysis. A six step thematic analysis was used to interpret the qualitative data.

Results
388 participants responded to the survey. The uptake of Psychological First Aid training was 37 (9.5%). Psychological first aid was a significant predictor for coping efficacy (β = 17.54, p = .001). Participants with a physical or mental health condition experienced higher stress and lower coping regardless of PFA training. Four themes were identified from the qualitative analysis: self-awareness and growth, relationships with others, overcoming stress and accessibility.

Conclusion
While this study suggests some benefits to healthcare workers in care home settings undergoing PFA the poor uptake of the training warrants further investigation.

Impact
Care home staff need psychological support. This gap remains as few completed PFA training. This is the first study in UK and worldwide to look at the effects of psychological first aid on stress and coping in this population and it warrants further investigation.

Authors: Dyakova Nina Alekseyevna 
Published: November 2022

The roots of the dandelion drug (Taraxacum officinale F.H. Wigg) are rich in chemical composition and contain water-soluble polysaccharides based on inulin. The aim of the study is to select optimal parameters of ultrasonic extraction of water-soluble polysaccharides from dandelion roots based on regression analysis. For the experiment, raw materials purchased from one of the pharmacies in the city of Voronezh were used. A sample of raw materials (1.0 g) was placed in an ultrasonic bath "Grad 40-35," which allows maintaining the necessary temperature and frequency of ultrasound with a given duration of time. one-year old, as well as in industrial production of water-soluble polysaccharides from this kind of raw material. Then, 10 (15 or 20) ml of purified water purified from impurities at a temperature of 60 °C to 80 °C was measured with a measuring flask and extracted from 10 to 20 min with a multiplicity of 1 to 3, and after each of the multiple studies, the same raw material was further filtered with a new solvent. The initial conditions and the data obtained during the experiments made it possible to present the regression model in the form of a linear multiple regression equation, which can be used with sufficient accuracy in prediction and analysis. The adequacy of the model was confirmed by testing hypotheses against Pearson's x2 criterion. The correlation coefficient derived from the values of the regression coefficient and the mean square deviation was used in determining the tightness of the overall relationship between the source and the obtained data. In addition, a detailed study of a sample of those variables whose priority was not clearly expressed was carried out by processing when fixing their values. The most important conditions for extraction of dandelion roots for obtaining the most stable performance should be considered: extraction temperature – 80 °C; extraction multiplicity – 3, ultrasound frequency – 35 kHz, extraction time – 40 min, ratio of raw material and extractant – 1 g per 10 ml, at the same time, grinding of raw material can vary from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm.

The use of rice husk (the waste in the production of seeded rice (Oryza sativa) as a sorption material for the removal of pollutants of various classes – inorganic (Cr, Ni, Co, Pb, Hg, As, Cd, Cu, Zn) and organic substances (synthetic and natural dyes, phenols, antibiotics, polycyclic aromatic compounds, humic acids, pesticides, chitosan) from aqueous media is generalized. The literature data on the structure of seeded rice, the volume of its cultivation, the chemical composition, and some components of rice husk are given.
The methods of physical and chemical (the use of inorganic acids, salts, and alkalis) are described activation, as well as modification of rice husks using surfactants, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, functional agents, and monomers (polymerization reactions). Quantitative characteristics of the absorption of various pollutants (recoveries, equilibrium limit sorption) are given. The influence of pH, temperature, the concentration of pollutants, phase contact time, volume, and mass of rice husk on sorption and removal of pollutants from aqueous media is shown. Possible sorption mechanisms, kinetic and sorption models are described. It is revealed that the isotherms of the sorption of pollutants in most cases are most adequately described by Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the kinetics of the process is a pseudo-second-order model.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The phenomenon of urbanization has led to an increase in residential land and other economic activities that resulted in the conversion of undeveloped land into developed and settled lands. Thus, it has an impact on limited water absorption, and eventually, a flood occurs when extreme rainfall happens. The Kedurus watershed is a flood-prone area where floods consistently occur with a depth of up to 1 m. However, the Kedurus watershed is an area that has a vital function in the economic development of the city of Surabaya. From the previous research, three instruments were declared effective in reducing flooding. By using the positivistic approach, the purpose of this study is a spatial planning concept for flood reduction in the Kedurus River Basin. The results will be presented as spatial modeling of the flood with the existing conditions resulting in a flood inundation area of 228.88 ha. The stages of the formulation of the spatial planning concept for flood reduction resulted in several proposals, namely, the allocation of green open space for all the land assets of the Surabaya City government and the provision of a maximum requirement of 60% development for space allocation on existing nondeveloped land.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Representing the Earth’s physical features onto a flat surface is a critical and challenging issue for geodesists to build topographic mappings at field scale in various applications. Artificial satellite positioning data are currently defined on a global geocentric frame, while terrestrial geodetic networks are determined on a local ellipsoid. Hence, coordinate transformations in three-dimensional space are required for data fusion involving different coordinate systems utilizing common points in two sets of coordinates. On the other hand, small companies in many developing countries have some data conversion difficulties due to the need for high-cost software and qualified persons. A low-cost automated tool is helpful in achieving this task and ensuring quality and positional accuracy. In this investigation, the problem was undertaken by establishing a software tool in the Microsoft Visual Studio environment for map-matching with global coordinates based on similarity transformations and a conformal polynomial approach. The tool’s performance was evaluated through a numerical example to assign transformation parameters and derive coordinates of checkpoints from the prediction surface.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
High power applications at high speed create contact problems, increase heat sink values and transmission error (TE) during gear meshing. Hence, analyzing the gear mesh including helix angle effect, the optimization in terms of contact pressure and the transmission error reduction are all crucial for high-speed applications. In this study, meshing characteristics including helix angle based on different approaches, optimization of spur gears pairs in terms of the transmission error and contact stresses obtained from improved analytical method besides transmission design tools are all investigated for high-speed aerospace applications. Results reveal that significant transmission error reduction could be achieved by applying tip relief starting from the highest-point of single tooth contact for spur gears in aerospace applications. Hence, the need for higher contact ratio by helix angle inclusion for smoother transmission could be compensated by using tip-relief modified spur gears in gearbox since the heat sink values also need to be minimized by using relatively lower contact ratio. Results obtained from the improved analytical method by directly considering gear geometry including gear foundation effects based on direct deformation–summation approach are found in between AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) standard and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard results.
