An exploration of trends and future directions in sustainability performance: A bibliometric analysis of Scopus database
Authors: Yang Kai Han , Thoo Ai Chin 
Published: July 2022

Background: Current global economic activities are increasingly being perceived as unsustainable. With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) statement in 2015, sustainability performance has received significant attention. Thus, it is necessary to better understand the topics of interest and expand cooperation networks to advance studies in integrated efforts. The present bibliometric research intends to assess worldwide research tendency in sustainability performance. Methods: We conducted an extensive bibliometric analysis of published academic articles on sustainability performance (SP) from 1997 to 2021. We reviewed, retrieved, and analysed 3680 papers published in Scopus. Specifically, VOSviewer software was used to conduct document co-authorship and co-occurrence analyses and burst detection analyses. Results: The outcomes reveal that since 1997, the sum of publications has been on the rise steadily. About a third of all global papers on sustainability performance were produced by researchers from the United States and Australia, outnumbering the remaining 138 countries/territories. Furthermore, the ten most prolific authors of sustainability performance are all from universities. Haapala, Karl R. and Murat Kucukvar were the most influential authors found, based on the total publication number of sustainability performance. Conclusions: The bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify the trends in the area of sustainability performance. Therefore, this study identified a significant research gap for future study of practitioners and researchers. The social sustainability and the relationship between the material flow analysis and sustainability performance should be noted. In addition, only the Scopus database has been considered due to its academic prestige. The database includes a large number of articles on sustainability performance. Therefore, the analysis was limited to the Scopus database only. However, other databases, such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, and MedLine, can be used for future research. These can also be used in combination.

Published: July 2022

Background: Data pertaining to risk factors of nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) among rural Bangladeshi is scarce. This study explored the risk factors associated with NSLBP among rural Bangladeshi adults. Methods: A community-based study was done in Sonargaon Upazila of Narayanganj district of Bangladesh. A total of 343 NSLBP patients were recruited as cases, based on the Bangla version of Community oriented program for control of rheumatic diseases (COPCORD) questionnaire. An equal number of age and sex matched subjects without any rheumatic disease were recruited from the same community. A total of 15 probable factors were analyzed. Age-sex adjusted univariate and age-sex with 13 risk factors adjusted multivariate conditional logistic regression analyses were done. Results: The mean age of the participants was 33.1 years old (standard deviation: 9.5). Out of 13 risk factors, history of chronic disease (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2 – 3.4), prolonged sitting (OR 4.6, 95% CI 2.0 – 11.0), squatting (OR 7.2, 95% CI 3.2 – 16.0), bending of the waist (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.8 – 7.6), regular lifting or carrying a heavy load (OR 9.2, 95% CI 2.2 – 39.7), prolonged standing (OR 5.8, 95% CI 1.9 – 17.7), occupation related to strenuous physical activity (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.1 – 0.8), overweight (body mass index >=25 kg/m2) (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.8 – 5.2) and depression (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.4 – 3.6) were found to be significantly associated with NSLBP. Conclusions: The study generated knowledge on associated risk factors for NSLBP in rural people of Bangladesh that may facilitate an evidence-based intervention for the target group.
The Effects of Health Information Exchange Access on Healthcare Quality and Efficiency: An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Janakiraman Ramkumar , Park Eunho , M. Demirezen Emre , Kumar Subodha 
Published: July 2022

Health information exchanges (HIEs) are designed to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare by facilitating improved information sharing between health entities. This study systematically examines the impact of HIE use in emergency departments (EDs) on the quality and efficiency of medical care. We focus on the length of stay (LOS) and the 30-day readmission rate to capture healthcare efficiency and quality, respectively. We also examine whether the breadth of patient health information and physicians’ experience with the HIE moderates these effects. We leverage a unique panel data that tracks actual HIE access by physicians who practice in a set of hospitals that participate in the focal HIE. The patient-level encounter data set—which involves more than 80,000 ED encounters attended by more than 300 physicians over a 19-month period—comprises detailed medical provider information, patient-level medical information, and various other information related to procedures that were performed. After controlling for a battery of patient-specific, physician-specific, disease-specific, and ED visit-specific variables, our results show that HIE access in information-intensive environments (such as EDs) reduces LOS and 30-day readmission rate. We find that breadth of patient health information and physicians’ HIE experience amplify these benefits. We account for endogeneity issues and perform additional falsification tests and robustness checks. We document that benefits of HIE access are amplified for noninjury, chronic condition, and uncommon diagnoses related patient visits. Based on our results, we offer insights to practitioners and academicians alike on how HIEs can yield better patient-level and provider-level outcomes.This paper was accepted by Anandhi Bharadwaj, information systems.Supplemental Material: The web appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2022.4378 .

Published: August 2022

Background
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) affects four million people worldwide annually and has an estimated lifetime prevalence of 5−10% in the general population. Worldwide, there are significant heterogeneities in coping approaches of healthcare systems with PUD in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Quantifying and benchmarking health systems’ performance is crucial yet challenging to provide a clearer picture of the potential global inequities in the quality of care.

Objective
The objective of this study was to compare the health-system quality-of-care and inequities for PUD among age groups and sexes worldwide.

Methods
Data were derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990–2019. Principal-Component-Analysis was used to combine age-standardized mortality-to-incidence-ratio, disability-adjusted-life-years-to-prevalence-ratio, prevalence-to-incidence-ratio, and years-of-life-lost-to-years-lived-with-disability-into a single proxy named Quality-of-Care-Index (QCI). QCI was used to compare the quality of care among countries. QCI’s validity was investigated via correlation with the cause-specific Healthcare-Access-and-Quality-index, which was acceptable. Inequities were presented among age groups and sexes. Gender Disparity Ratio was obtained by dividing the score of women by that of men.

Results
Global QCI was 72.6 in 1990, which increased by 14.6% to 83.2 in 2019. High-income-Asia-pacific had the highest QCI, while Central Latin America had the lowest. QCI of high-SDI countries was 82.9 in 1990, which increased to 92.9 in 2019. The QCI of low-SDI countries was 65.0 in 1990, which increased to 76.9 in 2019. There was heterogeneity among the QCI-level of countries with the same SDI level. QCI typically decreased as people aged; however, this gap was more significant among low-SDI countries. The global Gender Disparity Ratio was close to one and ranged from 0.97 to 1.03 in 100 of 204 countries.

Conclusion
QCI of PUD improved dramatically during 1990–2019 worldwide. There are still significant heterogeneities among countries on different and similar SDI levels.

Published: August 2022

Background
Centrifugal-flow pumps are novel treatment options for patients with advanced heart failure (HF). This study estimated the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of centrifugal-flow pumps for patients with advanced HF in Argentina.

Methods
Two Markov models were developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of a centrifugal-flow pump as destination therapy (DT) in patients with contraindication for heart transplantation, and as bridge-to-transplant (BTT), with a lifetime horizon using the third-party payer Social Security (SS) and Private Sector (PS) perspectives. Clinical, epidemiological, and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) parameters were retrieved from the literature. Direct medical costs were estimated through a micro-costing approach (exchange rate USD 1 = ARS 59.95).

Results
The centrifugal-flow pump as a DT increased the per patient QALYs by 3.5 and costs by ARS 8.1 million in both the SS and PS, with an ICER of ARS 2.3 million per QALY. Corresponding values for a centrifugal-flow pump as BTT were 0.74 QALYs and more than ARS 8 million, yielding ICERs of ARS 11 million per QALY (highly dependent on waiting times). For the 1, 3, and 5 GDP per QALY thresholds, the probability of a centrifugal-flow pump to be cost-effective for DT/BTT was around 2%/0%, 40%/0%, and 80%/1%, respectively.

Conclusion
The centrifugal-flow pump prolongs life and improves the quality of life at significantly higher costs. As in Argentina there is no current explicit cost-effectiveness threshold, the final decision on reimbursement will depend on the willingness to pay in each subsector. Nevertheless, the centrifugal-flow pump as a DT was more cost-effective than as a BTT.
Evaluation of a supported education and employment program for adolescents and young adults with mental health problems: A study protocol of the StAB project
Authors: Schniedermann Ina , Dehn Lorenz B. , Micheel Sabrina , Beblo Thomas , Driessen Martin ,   for the StAB project group
Published: July 2022

The majority of mental illnesses begins in childhood, adolescence and young adulthood before the age of 25. The transition from adolescence to adulthood is a particularly vulnerable time for adolescents with mental illness, affecting psychosocial functioning and participation in work life. Therefore, they need—in contrast to classic standard vocational interventions—a long-term, holistic and individually oriented vocational rehabilitation program. With the innovative model project "Start in education and employment (StAB)”, adolescents and young adults with mental illnesses are to be supported with regard to their vocational perspectives and participation by a new type of individualized, holistic, long-term job coaching. It follows the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) concept, as a manualized form of the Supported Employment Approach and is based on the "first place–then train" principle. In order to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the StAB program, a double-centre prospective single arm evaluation study in a mixed-methods design will be conducted. The focus is on quantitative research analysing pre-post-effects of the StAB intervention in a two-year observational study. Young people between 15 and 25 years with a psychiatric diagnosis who are currently in receipt of means-tested benefits or are entitled to them will be recruited. The study will take place in two major cities in the north-western part of Germany, Bielefeld and Dortmund. We expect to contribute to gain more empirical data about the implementation of Supported Employment and Education to severely mentally ill adolescents and young adults in German settings. Moreover, these results may also provide the scientific foundation for future measures focusing the improvement of vocational rehabilitation for young people with mental illness.
The study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00027576) on March 10, 2022.
“Do we even have a voice?” Health providers’ perspective on the patient accommodation strategies in Bangladesh
Authors: Kabir Md. Ruhul , Chan Kara 
Published: August 2022

Objective
In a resource-constrained setting like Bangladesh, effective patient-provider communication is critical to the delivery of maternal healthcare services. Using communication accommodation theory, this study tried to understand how providers perceive, engage, and accommodate patients’ needs in maternity wards.

Methods
This qualitative exploratory study used a semi-structured interview guide to conduct in-depth face-to-face interviews of ten healthcare providers in two government-funded public health facilities in Bangladesh. The interview data were analyzed using MAXQDA 2020 software.

Results
The thematic analyses revealed that nurses and midwives faced conceivable neglect from patients and their attendees due to possible service and facility constraints, indicating their low status and control within the service operation. Despite efforts to address patients’ emotional and psychological concerns, providers appear to avoid (divergence strategy) confronting patients and their irate visitors. Unimodal convergence emerged when providers accepted patients’ arguments about the systematic inadequacy of service facilities. Providers have employed interpretability tactics to communicate medical opinions and applied nonverbal cues where necessary.

Conclusion
A lack of open communication between healthcare providers and patients necessitated various forms of accommodation. Integrated strategies addressing service restrictions and initiatives fostering patient understanding and cooperation may improve patient-provider communication.

Teatro y sororidad: Maria Angélica Ribeiro en el campo cultural brasileño de mediados del siglo XIX
Authors: Aguilar Dornelles María Alejandra 
Published: July 2022

Resumen
Este ensayo analiza “Cancros Sociais” y “Um dia na opulencia” de la dramaturga brasileña Maria Angélica Ribeiro enfatizando la construcción de personajes femeninos que no temen enunciar sus anhelos y movilizar su propia agenda creando lazos de sororidad. El análisis se organiza a través de tres aspectos: la construcción de “escenas de conversación,” el desarrollo de acciones tendientes a escenificar agencia femenina y la gestualidad de los personajes para expresar con sus cuerpos una unión fraterna. Solidarias e implicadas en los debates de su tiempo, las mujeres creadas por Ribeiro ponen en acción nuevas formas de cuestionar las jerarquías sociales.

Published: July 2022

The presence of women in the educational sphere and in the labor market, in addition to being a struggle with historical roots, has contemporary characteristics rooted in society, requiring knowledge and diagnosis of the most diverse forms of female performance, here dealing with the public environment. Therefore, the objective of this article was to carry out a temporal survey on the representation of women in the teaching position within the coordination of extension activities in a public university, with study object being the Viçosa Federal University, Rio Paranaíba Campus, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collection was carried out on websites that provide reports on servers and on the institution's internal system for recording outreach activities. Among the surveys with greater evidence and theoretical proof, it could be diagnosed that women, although they do not represent the majority of university professors, are predominantly more present in the coordination of different types of extension activities (programs, projects, courses and events) than men, with emphasis on actions related to the Institute of Biological and Health Sciences, which have greater representation.

Published: July 2022

Timed array technology is rapidly evolving in multiple areas such as high resolution imaging radar, automotive, medical, high data rate communication applications etc. Timed arrays by utilising True Time Delay (TTD) lines in place of phase shifters mitigate beam squint and pulse dispersion issues associated with wide instantaneous bandwidth arrays. This paper presents on review of evolutionary trends in TTD line architectures starting from coaxial cable to photonic integrated circuit. The paper also reports on critical parameters of TTD lines, their importance and implication in design of typical X-band imaging radar. Comparison of different TTD line architectures in terms of configuration, implementation, merits and demerits are discussed in detail for wideband array application. The paper also brings out the integration aspects of TTD lines as part of T/R modules and proposes suitable design schemes towards performance optimization and realisation of timed arrays.

Published: July 2022

Background: Epilepsy is a brain disease characterized by repeated unprovoked seizures at least two times with an interval of more than 24 hours between the first seizure and subsequent seizures. Valproic acid is an anti-seizure drug. Long-term use of valproic acid may be associated with metabolic disorders such as weight gain, and lipid profile changes, including vitamin D levels. Objectives: To determine the association of type of antiepileptic drugs and serum vitamin D levels among people with epilepsy.Methods: A cross-sectional study among 24 people with epilepsy was obtained from the outpatient clinic Diponegoro National Hospital Semarang. The subjects were then classified based on the type of antiepileptic drugs into two groups. The first group was subjects who used valproic acid (n=15) and the second group was subjects who used phenytoin (n=9). The demographic and clinical data were collected, then the measurement of vitamin D levels was performed using ELISA. The two independent samples T-test were performed to determine the differences of serum vitamin D levels among people with epilepsy.Results: The mean of serum vitamin D levels among 24 subjects were 17,32 + 6,37 ng/mL, and the mean of serum vitamin D levels based on the type of antiepileptic drugs were 16,92 + 4.27 ng/mL for the first group and 18 + 9.16 ng/mL for the second group. Furthermore that there was no significant difference in the serum vitamin D levels in both groups (p=0,697).Conclusion: There is no different effect of valproic acid and phenytoin on the serum vitamin D levels among people with epilepsy.
Wound Healing Response to Full-Thickness Skin Defect Sprague Dawley Rats Given Ozonated Black Cumin Oil Viewing from The Profile of Neutrophil and Macrophage Count
Authors: Syahputra Igor Rizkia 
Published: July 2022

The incidence of wounds keeps increasing and inadequate treatment can cause the wound to become infected. Ozone has antibacterial properties and can help activate pro-inflammatory agents in the wound healing process; one of the methods is oil ozonation, for example with black cumin oil. Topical administration of black cumin plays a role in wound healing because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, and plays a role in increasing the epitalization process. To determine the effectiveness of applying ozonated black cumin oil (Nigella sativa) on the healing process of full-thickness skin defects in Sprague Dawley rats, in terms of the number of macrophage and neutrophil cells. This research was an experimental study with a post-test only control group design method. Total sample of 48 Sprague Dawley rats was divided into 6 groups. The first group was given gentamicin ointment, the second group was given 0.9% normal saline, the third to the fifth group was given ozone black with doses of ozone respectively, namely 1400 mg/ml, 1800 mg/ml and 2200 mg/ml. Incision for taking the tissue samples was held on the 3rd and 7th day according to the treatment group. The tissue samples were subjected to histopathological examination with HE staining. A significant decrease in neutrophil levels occurred at the dose of 1,400mg/ml ozonated black cumin oil on day 7 (p=<0.001), dose of 1,800 mg/ml on day 3 (p=0.021) and day 7 (p=<0.001), doses of 2,200mg/ml at day 3 (p=0.020) and day 7 (p=<0.001) compared with a positive control group (given gentamicin). A significant decrease in macrophage levels occurred at a dose of 1,400mg/ml on day 3 (p=0.037) and 7 (p=0.019), a dose of 1,800 mg/ml on day 3 (p <0.001) and 7 (p=0.020), dose 2,200mg/ml on day 3 (p=<0.001) and day 7 (p=0.020).
