Analysis of Pedestrian Performance by Integrating both Quantitative and Qualitative Factors
Authors: Meneses Neil Andrew I. , Buluran Jocelyn S. 
Published: July 2022

The importance of non-motorized movements, explicitly walking, and its corresponding impact on social, economic, and environmental aspects has always been overlooked due to the convenience brought by motorized vehicles. An automobile-dependent society mirrors the rise and worsening of several transportation problems, such as road-wide traffic congestion, massive fuel consumption, and excessive CO2emissions. In response to these aggravating situations and in support of various national and international calls, the main objective of this study was to extract the significant factors influencing the pedestrian level of service and walkability and to subsequently develop a predictive mathematical model for evaluating pedestrian conditions. Factors influencing the pedestrian level of service and walkability were initially identified through an extensive review and evaluation of existing studies, literature, and other relevant resources. A cause-and-effect analysis was used to develop an Ishikawa Diagram tackling pedestrian performance. The finalized factors were incorporated into the development of the Pedestrian Performance Assessment Questionnaire (PPAQ), which was utilized for data acquisition. Survey responses were then subjected to factor analysis after satisfying several tests for assumptions and suitability to extract the root causes influencing pedestrian performance. The validated root causes were then integrated to form the Pedestrian Performance Audit Tool (PPAT), a tool used in evaluating pedestrian areas in Tarlac City, Philippines. Data was analyzed through ordinal regression analysis to develop the multi-objective pedestrian performance prediction model. Results showed that there are six critical predictors of pedestrian performance unified in the final mathematical model: Pedestrian Space (PS), Official’s Intervention (OI), Ambiance (A), Vibrance (V), Street Vendors (SV), and Trash Bins (TB), and is the most significant contribution of the study. The model's validity was ascertained through a confusion matrix, which resulted in an acceptable rating. The comparison between calculated and perceived values together with the use of odds ratios served as the basis for the interpretation of some of the key results and findings. Finally, recommendations were also presented which can be a basis for the development of sustainable programs and interventions for the improvement of the pedestrian system.

Published: July 2022

Peat soil incorporated materials from fragmented organic constituents that originated in submerged wetlands. Peat soil has a particular index property that accounts for more than 75% of its organic content. Due to its low shear strength, high moisture content, high compressibility, low specific gravity, restricted bearing capacity, irregular shrinkage, and instability, peat soil is interpreted as a challenging soil for the building industry. The purpose of this study is to look at the index properties of Klias, Beaufort peat soil, and eco processed pozzolan (EPP), as well as to investigate the strengthening and stiffening effects of EPP stabilization treatment on peat soil and the association between EPP and linear shrinkage effects of peat. The linear shrinkage used to measure the shrinkage behaviour of peat soil consists of untreated samples, namely peat soil, and treated samples, which are peat soil in addition to EPP with a concentration of 20% and 30%, respectively. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is employed to produce images of a sample by scanning the surface of an untreated peat sample and treated peat samples with EPP. High moisture content with an average of 580% was reported for the KBpt area. EPP can potentially help to reduce the shrinkage by almost 66.66%. Additionally, the results showed that by adding EPP as filler material to the peat soil, shrinkage behaviour decreases significantly for untreated peat soil and treated peat soil with EPP, with 4.29% reduced to 1.43% significantly. Correspondingly, the crystallization process occurred between peat soil and EPP, which contributed to the reduction of shrinkage and tension crack in peat soil and produced Muscovite, which is appeared and identified as mineral that important in rock-forming mineral.

Clustering in data mining is a way of organizing a set of objects in such a way that the objects in same bunch are more comparable and relevant to each other than to those objects in other bunches.
In the modern information retrieval system, clustering algorithms are better if they result high quality clusters in efficient time. This study includes analysis of clustering algorithms k-means and enhanced k-means algorithm over the wholesale customers and wine data sets respectively. In this research, the enhanced k-means algorithm is found to be 5% faster for wholesale customers dataset for 4 clusters and 49%, 38% faster when the clusters size is increased to 8 and 13 respectively. The wholesale customers dataset when classified with 18 clusters the speedup was seen to be 29%. Similarly, in the case of wine dataset, the speed up is seen to be 10%, 30%, 49%, and 41% for 3, 8, 13 and 18 clusters respectively. Both of the algorithms are found very similar in terms of the clustering accuracy.

Background: STN-DBS is a cornerstone in the treatment of advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD). The traditional approach is to use an awake operative technique with microelectrode recording (MER). However, more centers start using an asleep MRI-guided technique without MER. Objective: We systematically reviewed the literature to compare STN-DBS surgery with and without MER for differences in clinical outcome. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases for randomized clinical trials and consecutive cohort studies published between 01-01-2000 and 26-08-2021, that included at least 10 PD patients who had received bilateral STN-DBS. Results: 2,129 articles were identified. After abstract screening and full-text review, 26 studies were included in the final analysis, comprising a total of 34 study groups (29 MER and 5 non-MER). The standardized mean difference (SMD) in change in motor symptoms between baseline (OFF medication) and 6–24 months follow-up (OFF medication and ON stimulation) was 1.64 for the MER group and 1.87 for non-MER group ( p = 0.59). SMD in change in levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) was 1.14 for the MER group and 0.65 for non-MER group ( p < 0.01). Insufficient data were available for comparative analysis of PDQ-39 and complications. Conclusion: The change in motor symptoms from baseline to follow-up did not differ between studies that used MER and those that did not. The postoperative reduction in LEDD from baseline to follow-up was greater in the MER-group. In the absence of high-quality studies comparing both methods, there is a clear need for a well-designed comparative trial.

BACKGROUND: Since the outbreak of the coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2), wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) has become necessary. Patients’ ability to recognize staff is disrupted impacting on the relationship between healthcare worker and patient. OBJECTIVE: Assess the patients’ perspective of healthcare workers wearing PPE and its effect on communication. METHODS: Admitted Orthopaedic patients during the first wave of SARS-Cov-2 were surveyed about the experience with staff wearing PPE. In response to feedback, individual badges with large pictures and names were introduced to wear over PPE. Patient views and response to the badges was collected from surveying admitted patients. RESULTS: Patients encountered staff wearing face masks and felt this was appropriate in the context of the pandemic. 44% responded that they would prefer staff wearing badges with names, roles and pictures more visible. Following the introduction of badges, patients were better able to recognize staff roles and remember names. Hospital staff felt this was a positive change to help improve rapport while wearing PPE. CONCLUSION: Wearing PPE affects patients’ ability to recognize individuals in a fast-paced environment such as an acute hospital. Introducing badges was an intervention based on patient feedback and an important adaptation to sustained PPE use to improve the patient’s experience.
The symptomatic expression of infection with the Omicron variant in Chinese patients; findings from the Clificol COVID-19 clinical case registry
Authors: Tournier Alexander , Fok Yvonne , van Haselen Robbert , To Aaron 
Published: July 2022

_Background_

Little systematic research has been conducted into the symptomatic expression of COVID-19 infections in patients. It is known that symptomatic expression varies between patients, but the nature and extent of this variability is poorly understood. This paper elaborates on the symptoms reported by Chinese patients infected with the Omicron variant, and compares this with available data from other countries.

_Methods_

Observational clinical case registry study of Chinese patients with confirmed Omicron variant COVID-19 infection. Symptoms were prospectively collected via a 171-item questionnaire and entered into the Clificol COVID-19 Clinical Case Registry. Two types of symptoms were distinguished: A) common clinical symptoms as identified by a search of available/published data, and B) homeopathic symptoms, used for the selection of the most suitable homeopathic medicine. Data were mainly analysed descriptively. Additionally, we compared the prevalence of the reported symptoms with available symptom data from the UK and France.

_Results_

Twenty one Chinese practitioners collected questionnaires on 388 cases that received a first homeopathic prescription between 5 December 2021 and 8 April 2022. With respect to A), the most frequently reported clinical symptoms were respectively cough (71%), fever (65%), extreme tiredness (58%), headache (51%), sore throat (46%), runny nose (34%), unusual muscle pains (31%), hoarseness (21%), eye soreness (8%) and brain fog (6%). With respect to B), homeopathic symptoms related to cough and fever were particularly prevalent.

_Conclusions_

This is the first study which systematically investigated the reported symptoms of Chinese COVID-19 patients infected with the Omicron variant. Whilst the overall clinical symptom expression was similar to those reported for other countries, cough and fever related symptoms appeared to be particularly prevalent.
