Authors: Mark Erica , Sridharan Mira , Florenzo Brian , Schenck Olivia L , Noland Mary-Margaret B , Barbieri John S , Lipoff Jules B 
Published: April 2022

Background
Crowdfunding for medical costs is becoming increasingly popular. Few previous studies have described the fundraising characteristics and qualities associated with success.

Objective
This study aimed to characterize and investigate the qualities associated with successful dermatological fundraisers.

Methods
This cross-sectional study of dermatological GoFundMe campaigns collected data, including demographic variables, thematic variables using an inductive qualitative method, and quantitative information. Linear regression examined the qualities associated with success, which are defined based on funds raised when controlling for campaign goals. Logistic regression was used to examine qualities associated with extremely successful campaigns, defined as those raising >1.5 times the IQR. Statistical significance was set at P<.05.

Results
A total of 2008 publicly available campaigns at the time of data collection were evaluated. Nonmodifiable factors associated with greater success included male gender, age 20-40 years, and White race. Modifiable factors associated with success included more updates posted to the campaign page, non–self-identity of the campaign creator, mention of a chronic condition, and smiling in campaign profile photographs.

Conclusions
Understanding the modifiable factors of medical crowdfunding may inform future campaigns, and nonmodifiable factors may have policy implications for improving health care equity and financing. Crowdfunding for medical disease treatment may have potential implications for medical privacy and exacerbation of existing health care disparities. This study was limited to publicly available GoFundMe campaigns. Potential limitations for this study include intercoder variability, misclassification bias because of the data abstraction process, and prioritization of campaigns based on the proprietary GoFundMe algorithm.
Natural Language Processing Methods and Bipolar Disorder: Scoping Review
Authors: Harvey Daisy , Lobban Fiona , Rayson Paul , Warner Aaron , Jones Steven 
Published: April 2022

Background
Health researchers are increasingly using natural language processing (NLP) to study various mental health conditions using both social media and electronic health records (EHRs). There is currently no published synthesis that relates specifically to the use of NLP methods for bipolar disorder, and this scoping review was conducted to synthesize valuable insights that have been presented in the literature.

Objective
This scoping review explored how NLP methods have been used in research to better understand bipolar disorder and identify opportunities for further use of these methods.

Methods
A systematic, computerized search of index and free-text terms related to bipolar disorder and NLP was conducted using 5 databases and 1 anthology: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Academic Search Ultimate, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and the ACL Anthology.

Results
Of 507 identified studies, a total of 35 (6.9%) studies met the inclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis was used to describe the data, and the studies were grouped into four objectives: prediction and classification (n=25), characterization of the language of bipolar disorder (n=13), use of EHRs to measure health outcomes (n=3), and use of EHRs for phenotyping (n=2). Ethical considerations were reported in 60% (21/35) of the studies.

Conclusions
The current literature demonstrates how language analysis can be used to assist in and improve the provision of care for people living with bipolar disorder. Individuals with bipolar disorder and the medical community could benefit from research that uses NLP to investigate risk-taking, web-based services, social and occupational functioning, and the representation of gender in bipolar disorder populations on the web. Future research that implements NLP methods to study bipolar disorder should be governed by ethical principles, and any decisions regarding the collection and sharing of data sets should ultimately be made on a case-by-case basis, considering the risk to the data participants and whether their privacy can be ensured.

A Gestalt Approach to the Treatment of Gambling
Authors: SHUB NORMAN F. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Gambling is a serious and growing problem. Standard treatment programs commonly address symptoms, but their recidivism rate is nearly 80 percent. My colleagues and I believe that compulsive or addictive gambling is a manifestation of a character disorder marked by the gambler's failure to get physical and emotional needs met and by a lack of behavioral options. We believe that Gestalt therapy in a familial setting can successfully treat gamblers. Gestalt therapy forces gamblers to see their character picture and their behavior's effect on others and to develop more options for operating in the world.
Corporate Transparency and Externally Financed Firm Growth
Authors: Huang Shawn X. , Pereira Raynolde , Wang Changjiang 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT
Employing a comprehensive measure of country-level corporate transparency, we document a positive relation between corporate transparency and externally financed firm growth. This relation is robust to controlling for variables related to the quality of a country's legal institutions and the overall level of financial development. We also show that the level of external financing in the form of long-term debt is higher among firms in countries with greater corporate transparency. Further cross-sectional tests reveal that the role of corporate transparency in firm growth and external financing is less pronounced among bank-oriented countries as compared to market-oriented countries. In sum, our evidence highlights the positive impact of corporate transparency on economic growth through its impact on firm access to low-cost external financing.

El objetivo del trabajo realizado fue validar la oferta tecnológica reciente sobre la producción acuícola usando piscinas circulares construidas en materiales sintéticos derivados del petróleo altamente impermeable denominadas geomembranas, en los cuales hipotéticamente se pueden intensificar el cultivo de mojarra. Se establecieron 3 estanques circulares de geomembranas con 7 metros de diámetro y 1,2 m de altura, a los cuales se les dotó de diferentes grados de tecnología ofertada en el mercado así: Estanque 1: con sistema de recirculación de agua a través de un cono sedimentador, filtro de arena, luz ultravioleta, sedimentación, biofiltros, aireación por caída a tanques auxiliares y aplicación de oxígeno producido por una planta generadora de O2, mezclado en un difusor. Estanque 2: con aireación mediante la utilización de un blower de 1 Hp, inyectado con una manguera difusora porosa + recambio de agua del fondo del estanque. Estanque 3: aireación con un venturi artesanal y recambio de agua del fondo del estanque. Se establecieron 50 peces iniciales por m3 en cada uno de los estanques y se evaluaron sus rendimientos en cada fase. Las variables respuesta de cada uno de los sistemas fueron: peso de la biomasa, consumo de alimento, conversión alimenticia y porcentaje de supervivencia. Los resultados mostraron que en los 3 sistemas la producción es viable técnica y económicamente cultivar la tilapia hasta los 235 gramos, esto debido al incremento de las dificultades técnicas para el manejo de las características fisicoquímicas del agua por la mayor demanda de oxígeno que a su vez se empeora con la elevación de amonio NH3 y ácido carbónico H2CO3, proveniente del metabolismo de la misma biomasa

Authors: Ula Erfa Navadiatul , Umamah Atik 
Published: April 2022

This qualitative research was conducted to investigate the use of online peer review as a strategy to improve writing skills in the revision process. Two English students of a private university in Malang were recruited based on two criteria: 1) they have passed an academic writing course with an excellent score, and 2) they use online media to conduct peer reviews. Using a semi-structured interview, the students were asked what types of online resources they use to perform online peer review, and how they do peer review online. The interview data were analyzed using content analysis. To triangulate the data, investigator triangulation was performed by involving two data analysts. The results of the study were that students mostly used WhatsApp and Zoom media to conduct online peer reviews. In addition, they used several platforms such as grammar checkers, online dictionaries to assist the revision process. The students shared their writing product in the form of a file to their peers via WhatsApp and improve the results of the feedback by utilizing online sources or obtaining reviews related to grammar, writing effectiveness, and diction errors.
THE USE OF E-RESOURCES FOR YOUNG LEARNERS ENGLISH TEACHING MATERIALS
Authors: Meisani Diah Royani 
Published: April 2022

As internet technology has become more influential and cultured, online or e-resources are nowadays present as alternatives for teaching materials. The resources themselves play an important role in lesson planning, instruction delivery, and take a part in determining the learning achievement. This study was conducted to investigate the forces that drive elementary school English teachers (N = 178) in utilizing online teaching materials together with the benefits and challenges they faced in using them. From the questionnaire, it was revealed that almost all respondents used and benefited from online resources taken from Google, YouTube, and other search engines. Further investigation through interviews revealed prevalent responses on e-learning materials utilization that are categorized as follows: accessibility, practicality, authenticity, and variety. Other benefits, such as the features of online resources that positively attract young learners in foreign language learning are meaningfully advantageous as they improve students’ learning engagement (SLE). These findings support evidence for e-learning resources as teaching materials for overcoming the shortage of teaching guidelines and materials in English for Young Learners (EYL) classes. Teachers’ responses towards the challenges in using this type of material lead to the implication that schools and other related stakeholders should take serious concerns to equip EYL teachers with professional development or in-service training, particularly in teaching material development and online resources integration.

Published: April 2022

Solving research problems within the framework of creating a single digital circuit in healthcare requires
a research conducted on the basis of depersonalized medical data stored in the information systems of medical institutions. There are described the methods of mathematical statistics aimed at comparing the average values of two types of samples: quantitative and binary in order to determine the relationship between blood test indicators and working conditions. Comparison of methods and results of comparison of quantitative and binary samples is made. The expediency of processing small structured samples taken out from the medical information system is substantiated. The study was conducted by using medical data stored in a transactional medical information system. During the preparation process, the data were depersonalized, cleaned from the inevitable noise and defects. Binarization of the values
of the indicators was performed by comparing them with the known boundaries of the interval of the medical norm.
A method was developed to bring the samples to uniformity simultaneously on the gender and age signs of the patients. There have been revealed the parameters of laboratory tests, which have a statistically significant relationship with working conditions identified for 4 groups under study. These groups were corresponding to the following work conditions complexes: influence of electromagnetic emanation, noise and vibrations, working conditions in regional office services. The proposed methods and received results will increase the accuracy of the performed risk assessments of occupational morbidity and become the base for studying the mechanism of the work conditions influencing the health. They will contribute to improvement of the analysis of the data collected in the medical information systems and management decision-making in healthcare.

Authors: Yankova I. , Shinkov A. , Kovatcheva R. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Percutaneous ethanol ablation (PEA) is an alternative non-surgical method for the treatment of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), suitable in cases with comorbidities and high surgical risk.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of PEA in patients with PHPT at the early stages of follow-up.

Materials and methods: The study included 35 patients (30 women and 5 men, mean age 59.7 ± 12.4 years) with biochemical and hormonal data of PHPT and localized parathyroid adenoma (PTA) by ultrasound, nuclear scan, FNB with cytology and evaluation of PTH in the needle washout. All patients were at high surgical risk or refused surgical treatment. PEA was applied and changes in the PTA volume and calcium-phosphate metabolism were monitored at the third (M3) and sixth (M6) months after the procedure.

Results: Normocalcaemia was achieved in 26 patients (74.3%) at M3 and persisted at M6 in 22 of them. A second course of PEA was administered in 11 patients with persistent hypercalcaemia at M3 and M6, respectively. Compared to the baseline, the mean PTA volume decreased significantly by 53% at M3 and 67% at M6 (p < 0.001). Side effects including local pain, edema and dysphonia were observed in 5 patients (14.3%).

Conclusion: PEA is an efficient and safe treatment modality for the management of PHPT. A significant reduction in PTA volume and a normalization of serum calcium and PTH levels were observed at the early stages of follow-up.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
This paper analyses and discusses the monthly and annual changes of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations from main sewage discharge ports in Xiangshan Bay. Using monitoring data obtained from 2010 to 2019, it systematically examines the monthly variation characteristics of the sewage discharge ports and the interannual changes in the fluxes of major pollutants into the sea. The concentrations of COD, TN, and TP, which were relatively high in November and January-March, generally declined. The annual and monthly changes fluctuated, but the flux into the sea generally decreased. The ecological environment of the nearby sea area is adversely affected, chiefly by land-based pollutants. During the five-year period, COD mainly came from soil erosion and domestic pollution, while TN and TP mainly came from agricultural activities and soil erosion. Hence, it is both necessary and urgent to improve the management of the sewage outfalls from land sources into the sea.

Abstract
Phytosanitary treatments with pesticides are widely used to control pests and diseases in vineyards. An important part of the dispersed pesticide reaches the soil, affecting the fauna, producing quantitative and qualitative changes in the edaphic population’s structure and physiological activities. This study aims to evaluate the temporal dynamics of the soil macro and mesofauna through different pesticide treatment periods, where fungicides are the dominant pest control agent. A field experiment was carried out in Boumerdes, a specific viticultural region in Algeria. Soil samples were taken during three periods, before, during, and after treatment with pesticides, using the quadrat method at three soil depths. During these three periods, the soil macro and mesofauna were observed and compared. The results showed significant differences in the composition of invertebrate communities that tended to disappear during pesticide application. The structure and diversity of 11 invertebrate classes, including Collembola, changed along the treatment gradient. The effects of sampling periods on occurrence, abundance, and taxon richness were consistently negative. These indices were significantly lower after pesticide application. Therefore, we can suppose that climatic factors and pesticide treatements are the main factors affecting the activity and density of all classes of invertebrates, but these effects vary between the functional groups of soil biota.
