How to strengthen the RTW process and collaboration between patients with chronic pain and their employers in interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs? Patients’ experiences of the Demand and Ability Protocol

Purpose To explore how patients who participate in an interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program (IPRP) experience a three-party meeting based on the Demand and Ability Protocol (DAP) to assist in return to work (RTW). The DAP is a employee and his/her immediate manager under the guidance of medical staff with knowledge of the patient’s work requirements and his/her current functional ability. Materials and methods Data included 18 semi structured individual interviews with persons having chronic pain, who participated in a DAP-dialogue during their IPRP. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results Four themes were identified: A structured dialogue facilitated new insights; the dialogue enabled employer participation; the facilitator enabled experiences of feeling safe during the dialogue; and the dialogue created a link between rehabilitation and work. Conclusions The DAP dialogue was experienced as a supportive measure for RTW where the employer naturally participated in IPRP. The structure of the dialogue supported concrete planning for workplace adaptations. Furthermore, the dialogue enabled a connection between rehabilitation and the activity of work in everyday life. The results reinforce the importance of including efforts close to the workplace in IPRP in order to facilitate rehabilitation outcomes related to RTW. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION A structured collaboration and dialogue between the employee, employer, and rehabilitation supports the RTW process. Collaboration between stakeholders is important and should be intertwined in IPRP to jointly facilitate the employee’s RTW. Clarifying the work demands provides motivation for the RTW process. Healthcare professionals should collaborate with the workplace to promote employer participation.

Efforts Towards Creating a National Brand in Kosovo (2008-2021)

Abstract States in the context of foreign policy apply specific strategies that relate with strengthening their international position, especially in relation to the promotion of attributes and values that make changing the perceptions of citizens of other states, and consequently of decision makers. Small states find it difficult to impose on the large international system knowing that their power and potential is little measurable. Kosovo since its proclamation as a state, is facing this dilemma, as crises, political instability and the inability to conclude the problem of recognition have cost it in external perception as a country with unsolvable political problems, while from within as the place where opportunities for work and well-being are seen as difficult to achieve, while interethnic cooperation remains dependent on the fate of the Brussels Talks or reconciliation and forgiveness, which are also linked to political talks. The need to affirm the truth of Kosovo, found it without concrete strategies, while the application of some marketing on foreign television, was not followed by any concrete plan. Kosovo had launched a campaign entitled “Young Europeans”, while only a few years later, 200,000 young people left the country, producing paradigmatic upheavals, in “young European immigrants”. Applying a series of methods, such as content analysis, statistics and interviews, the paper concludes that Kosovo has not had a national strategy for creating a national brand, while there are some sporadic efforts, which are not accompanied by concrete strategies, while political instability did not allow the functioning of foreign policy and consequently increased impatience of the citizens towards the institutions which was reflected in the efforts for their mass departure from the country.

Clinical difficulties in the treatment of restless legs syndrome: it is the dose that makes poison

IntroductionPolyfarmacy and unjustified use of high dosages of medicaments represent an unmet need in modern psychiatry. Therefore, tidal medication review of hospitalized geriatric patients is an essential step of the disease management as it can be often of vital importance and, as illustrated by current case, can exhibit a tremendeus impact on their quality of life.ObjectivesA case rapport on geriatric patient with iatrogenic damage due to ultra high dosage of ropinirole as a treatment for restless legs syndromeMethodsAuthors of current paper address pharmacodynamic particularities of psychopharmaca and their reasonable choice in context to RLSResultsA clinical case of a 72 y.o. patient, known with chronic minor depressive symptomes over the past decades. Since few years he did not take any medicaion, except ropinirol for RLS. Because of the worsening of RLS symptomes, he decided on his own to increase the dose of ropinirol up to 12 mg/day. Two moths later he has been admitted to the psychiatric ward with major depression symptomes, suicidal plans, insomnia and profound edema of his both lower legs.ConclusionsCurrent case demonstrates that high dose of ropinirole led to tremendous decrease of quality of life of the patient, and pushed him towards concrete suicidal plans. We advocate for careful assessing of the dose of every drug used; avoiding of polypharmacy by any means and for keeping in consideration that the majority of psychopharmaca leads to deterioration of RLS symptoms through modulation of dopamine pathways.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Analysis of Factors That Influence Consumers’ Acceptance Of Local Rice In South East Nigeria

This study examines the variables that influence consumers’ acceptance of local rice in South East Nigeria from the perspectives of trust in technology processing and marketing factors. The research will cross sectional survey and correlational evidence from household consumers of rice where data required for the study were generated with the instrument of questionnaire. A sample of 400 respondents was elicited from a finite population of household rice consumers’ resident in the five (5) South East Nigeria using a stratified random sampling and purposive non probability sampling techniques. Of this number, 366 copies were usable. The data were cross tabulated and analysed with descriptive statistics and the hypotheses were tested with Pearson product moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple Regression. Findings indicate that trust in technology of processing and marketing factors influence consumers’ acceptance of local rice. However, marketing factors have more influence than trust in technology of processes. The study therefore recommends that given the increasing importance of technology, it would be interesting that a modern and automated milling sector be developed alongside the small, private milling sector. This will be able to carter for the production needs for increased quality rice production of which consumers are interested in. In addition, government should lay a concrete plan for local rice production and marketing, involving private sector investment in efficient rice processing using mini rice meals with built in capacity for the stoning, polishing and sorting homogenous high quality rice.

기후 위기의 대응방안으로써 원자력 발전(發電)

Concerns about global climate change such as ‘global warming’ and ‘greenhouse effects’ have evolved into a desperate expression “climate crisis” in today. Accordingly, the UN adopted the ‘Paris Agreement’ in 2015, and calling for all countries to implement concrete action plans and practices to realize the goal of the ‘Net Zero’(Carbon Neutral 2050). This is the reason why the voices claiming the usefulness of nuclear power generation or the inevitability of nuclear power generation are increasing at home and abroad in recent years. The European Union classified nuclear power plants as a green taxonomy, and the United States is reconsidering its interest in nuclear power plants. Korea has been pursuing a policy to phase out nuclear power for the past five years, but the new government is foreshadowing a policy shift to actively utilize nuclear power. This study examines the nuclear industry, which is attracting attention again as a way to cope with the climate crisis and meet realistic energy demand, through the cases of Russia and France. As of 2022, Russia is evaluated as a country with the world's best capabilities and competitiveness in the nuclear sector. The EU's nuclear powerhouse France has developed a nuclear industry as a driving force for its energy security and economic development. Furthermore, the two countries are highly trusted and boast the highest competitiveness as suppliers of nuclear power plants to emerging countries seeking to introduce nuclear power plants. Korea also has experience in exporting nuclear power plants to the UAE and is seeking to export more nuclear power plants at the national level. This is why this study examines the nuclear power plant industry and competitiveness of Russia and France. This study analyzes both instrumental nuclear power plants as a countermeasure against the climate crisis and nuclear power plants as the basis for national economic development.

Stacking state-of-the-art ensemble for flash-flood potential assessment

It is clear that flash flood events are on the rise, and the detection of flash flood-prone areas has now become a top priority for governments throughout the world. Flash-flood potential mapping can provide very useful information that can be used in order to adopt the most appropriate measures to reduce the risk of these phenomena. A precise model is needed in order to predict flash flood potential, which can help to improve flood management strategies, as it can be used to develop more effective flood management methods. In this present research, Index of Entropy (IOE), Logistic Regression (LR), four machine learning models (, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Classification and Regression Tree (CART), Naive Bayes (NB), k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN)) and their 5 stacking ensembles were used to construct a new GIS-based framework for flash flood-potential mapping in the Suha River Basin, Romania. For the purposes of running the models, 8 topographical and environmental factors (slope, land use, plan curvature, profile curvature, convergence index, aspect, hydrological soil groups and tpi), along with 111 torrential locations were used to run the five applied models. In order to facilitate training and validation purposes, the entire dataset was divided into 70:30 parts. ROC Curve and statistical measures were employed in order to verify the model reliability and also validate the results. It is noteworthy here that in the training procedure, the stacking ensemble constructed through the combination of all machine learning and statistical learning models (LCkNS) was better than all the other models with a maximum accuracy of 0.972. The models used, revealed that between 10% and 22% of Suha river basin is occupied by high and very high flash-flood potential. As a result, the data generated by this research provides reliable results that can assist policymakers at the local and national levels in developing a concrete strategic plan to reduce flood frequency in their area by utilizing a flood warning system.

Patient perspectives of pandemic-related disruptions in gastrointestinal care: developing communication strategies.

ObjectiveNormal elective outpatient care has been impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to limitations imposed by healthcare systems. Clear communication is necessary to address patient concerns as resumption of elective care gains pace.MethodsThirty patients who had diagnostic gastrointestinal (GI) testing within our motility lab during the initial viral surge in our state spring 2020 underwent semi-structured interviews. Codes were derived from transcripts using the constant comparative method.ResultsFramework analysis revealed several patient themes, including (1) patient specific factors such as age and comorbidity; (2) pandemic-related evolution including case surges; and (3) healthcare related function – or dysfunction – that directly influenced patient perceptions of disrupted gastrointestinal care. These themes provide areas in which to focus communication using the shared decision making model to achieve resumption of delayed care.ConclusionsWhen communicating with patients, it is difficult to predict patient preferences and as much flexibility as possible should be offered. Concrete steps of (1) identification of patient barriers; (2) intervening upon then, and (3) having concrete plans to influence care will need to guide such communication.InnovationOur patients' perspectives during the first viral surge can guide new communication strategies should healthcare delivery be compromised in the future.

The CRISPR in the Classroom Network: A Support System for Instructors to Bring Gene Editing Technology to the Undergraduate Classroom

CRISPR‐Cas9 based gene manipulation technology represents a once‐in‐a‐generation advance in molecular biology that has become a mainstream technique in research. However, as is often the case with a new technology, most undergraduate instructors do not have the training or support to bring CRISPR‐Cas9 technology into their curricula. To remedy this, we have established a “CRISPR in the Classroom” network of undergraduate instructors prepared to disseminate CRISPR‐Cas9 curricular and laboratory modules to undergraduates (NSF RCN‐UBE #2120417). The main objective of this network is to facilitate a series of workshops and mentoring activities designed to provide instructors, postdocs, and graduate students the skills, support, and confidence needed to introduce and implement CRISPR‐Cas9‐based modules in undergraduate classrooms. These workshops a provide flexible, easily adapted curriculum and mentoring to instructors as well as start‐up kits to overcome the hurdles associated with learning and testing new curriculum in class. By doing this, we hope to develop both a national support system for biology educators of two‐year and four‐year undergraduate degree granting institutions dedicated to spreading effective curricular modules for the classroom and laboratory activities centered on experiential‐based work with CRISPR‐Cas9 as well as an online repository of proven CRISPR‐Cas9‐based modules across a variety of model systems for instructors with “ready‐to‐use” curricular elements to adapt for their own specific pedagogical needs using the NSF‐supported QUBES platform. Assessment data from a previous online workshop as well as two NSF‐sponsored previous in‐person workshops (Awards #1823595 and 1916486) taken several weeks after their completion suggest that the majority of workshop participants develop the skills and confidence necessary to make concrete plans to implement CRISPR‐Cas9 modules into their classes within one year of the workshop. The CRISPR in the Classroom Network represents a dynamic community of practice dedicated to providing undergraduate life science instructors with the tools and support needed to introduce this technology into their curricula.

Public perceptions of using forests to fuel the European bioeconomy: Findings from eight university cities

The political project on bioeconomy strives to address multiple societal aspirations, namely combine economic growth with environmental sustainability in some socially acceptable manner. The contradictions between the goals and the concrete plans to increase production, processing, and consumption of forest biomass in Europe have however raised sustainability concerns within and beyond its borders. While political actors articulate such contradictions differently and compete for traction for their viewpoints in the public discourse, little is known about how citizens of urban areas perceive this discourse. Conceptualising perception as a multidimensional construct, data from eight European university cities (Bordeaux, Bratislava, Freiburg, Helsinki, Padua, St. Petersburg, Uppsala, Vienna) are statistically analysed to explore its dimensions, the communities of like-minded citizens forming across those dimensions, and the traits associating with membership in each such community. Five communities across six dimensions from biocentrism through distributional aspects to adherence to political goals are identified: adherent-environmentalist, adherent-governmentalist, critical-reformist, critical-agriculturalist, and indifferent. City of residence and perceived familiarity with bioeconomy clearly interact with perception. There is however considerable variation in communities within and across the eight cities, suggesting deeper social tension beyond the public discourse. Much of the within-community variation remains unexplained, though, calling for more work locally. Implications for forest policy are derived.

Built Environment and Crime in a South Korea Context

The primary purpose of this paper is to test the applicability of environmental criminology in the case of South Korea. Also, it explores more effective strategies from a spatial planning perspective by taking control of diverse spatial planning factors. The study area is South Korea, and the base year was 2016. The relationship between the built environment and three crimes (theft, violence, sexual assault) was analyzed using the spatial econometric model. As a result, the best spatial regression models for violent crime rate and sexual assault rate are SEM and SAC, respectively. The most prominent finding is that the regression results in the three crimes are slightly different. The broken windows effect was negligible for significant crimes in South Korea. The influence of regional disorders on the incidence of crimes was marginal. In the three crime types, mixed land use affected raising crime rates, which is a line with some previous studies that mixed land use increases the likelihood of crime incidences. Unlike a series of relevant works, brighter nighttime light has not effectively decreased crimes in South Korea. In South Korea, CCTV did not play a role in deterring crimes. Lastly, socio-economic characteristics were closely connected with crime rates in South Korea. Findings of theft rate, violent crime rate, and sexual assault rate confirm the reliability of environmental criminology. Although this study has examined the likelihood of applying environmental criminology, further researches and discussions are followed for concrete plans.

Supporting Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment Skills: A Case Study of Five Companies.

Financial burden due to poor occupational safety practices remains high although occupational health and safety (OHS) have improved in recent years. Conducting risk assessment is one way to improve OHS. Workplaces may not have sufficient expertise in risk assessment. The aim of this study was to identify the needed OHS risk assessment skills, current support in the workplaces and the ways to improve risk assessment skills. This study was conducted with the Delphi survey for OHS experts (n = 13) and with interviews (n = 41) in the case companies. OHS experts agreed that the most significant skills were for employees to identify hazards and minimize risks in one’s work; for supervisors to influence others with a good example; and for OHS experts to understand and manage the wholeness of safety practices and understand and manage the meaning, concepts, and criteria of risk assessment. The current main support methods were learning at work, training and written instructions. However, many of the interviewees felt that they had not received risk assessment training and that the support depended on their activity. Finally, the OHS experts determined that the most feasible ways to improve risk assessment skills were training, coaching and giving clear instructions. Likewise, the interviewees suggested various training methods. Based on these results, concrete development plans to improve risk assessment skills can be made.

Linking MSPA and Circuit Theory to Identify the Spatial Range of Ecological Networks and Its Priority Areas for Conservation and Restoration in Urban Agglomeration

Rapid urbanization has led to the continuous degradation of natural ecological space within large urban agglomerations, triggering landscape fragmentation and habitat loss, which poses a great threat to regional ecological sustainability. Ecological networks (ENs) are a comprehensive control scheme to protect regional ecological sustainability. However, in the current research about ENs, most studies can only determine the orientation of ecological corridors but not their specific spatial range. This leads to the fact that ENs can only be abstract concepts composed of points and lines, and cannot be implemented into concrete spatial planning. In this study, taking the Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration as an example, ecological sources were identified by morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) and habitat quality assessment, ecological resistance surfaces were constructed based on habitat risk assessment (HRA). And circuit theory was used to simulate the ecosystem processes in heterogeneous landscapes via by calculating the cumulative current value and cumulative current recovery value, to identify the spatial range and key areas of ecological corridors. The results showed that the ENs includes 6,263.73 km2 of ecological sources, 12,136.61 km2 of ecological corridors, 283.61 km2 of pinch points and 347.51 km2 of barriers. Specifically, ecological sources were distributed in a spatial pattern of five groups, and ecological corridors were short and dense within groups, long in distance and narrow in width between groups. The pinch points and barriers mainly exist in the ecological corridors connecting the inner and outer parts of the central city and in the inter-group corridors. In order to ensure the connectivity and effectiveness of ENs, it is necessary to focus on the pinch points and barriers and include them in the priority areas for protection and restoration. Based on MSPA and circuit theory, this study provides a new method for determining the spatial range of ENs and the specific locations of priority areas, and provides a feasible solution for the concrete implementation of ENs to achieve effective ecological protection and restoration.

So that the compressive strength of concrete that occurs decreases from normal concrete without the addition of fibers.

A Novel MCDA-Based Methodology Dealing with Dynamics and Ambiguities Resulting from Citizen Participation in the Context of the Energy Transition

In the context of the energy transition, sound decision making regarding the development of renewable energy systems faces various technical and societal challenges. In addition to climate-related uncertainties affecting technical issues of reliable grid planning, there are also subtle aspects and uncertainties related to the integration of energy technologies into built environments. Citizens’ opinions on grid development may be ambiguous or divergent in terms of broad acceptance of the energy transition in general, and they may have negative attitudes towards concrete planning in their local environment. First, this article identifies the issue of discrepancies between preferences of a fixed stakeholder group with respect to the question of the integration of renewable energy technology, posed from different perspectives and at different points in time, and considers it as a fundamental problem in the context of robust decision making in sustainable energy system planning. Second, for dealing with that issue, a novel dynamic decision support methodology is presented that includes multiple surveys, statistical analysis of the discrepancies that may arise, and multicriteria decision analysis that specifically incorporates the opinions of citizens. Citizens are considered as stakeholders and participants in smart decision-making processes. A case study applying agent-based simulations underlines the relevance of the methodology proposed for decision making in the context of renewable energies.

An integrated simulation-optimization modelling approach for sustainability assessment of electricity generation system

Devising a concrete plan for power supply should conduct the best technology-capacity-time strategy while satisfying fuel, infrastructure, and trading constraints. Addressing sustainability concerning stakeholders' opinions aligned with upstream policies escalates the problem, demanding new reliable frameworks. This paper aims to develop an integrated simulation–optimization decision support system for electricity generation planning. A differential evolution algorithm simulates the future power supply configurations. A linear programming model characterizes the optimal pathways towards those futures. Multi-criteria decision-making methods are also included for determining the preference weights of sustainability indicators and ranking the scenarios. The proposed framework offers a sustainable plan for Iran by 2050. The sustainability criteria are tracked and compared with a business as usual (BAU) scheme. The results show that the broader deployment of wind turbine primarily, solar thermal subsequently, is the major source of difference in the sustainable expansion compared to BAU. Those technologies along with photovoltaics, contribute to 48% of the generation at the end of the planning horizon. However, the findings indicate that even the extensive utilization of renewable energy sources cannot guarantee sustainability improvement all through the planning period. Thus, supply-side plans should be appropriately supported by demand-side strategies.

Designing Effective eHealth Interventions for Underserved Groups: Five Lessons From a Decade of eHealth Intervention Design and Deployment.

Despite the proliferation of eHealth interventions, such as web portals, for health information dissemination or the use of mobile apps and wearables for health monitoring, research has shown that underserved groups do not benefit proportionately from these eHealth interventions. This is largely because of usability issues and the lack of attention to the broader structural, physical, and psychosocial barriers to technology adoption and use. The objective of this paper is to draw lessons from a decade of experience in designing different user-centered eHealth interventions (eg, web portals and health apps) to inform future work in leveraging technology to address health disparities. We draw these lessons from a series of interventions from the work we have done over 15 years in the Viswanath laboratory at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, focusing on three projects that used web portals and health apps targeted toward underserved groups. The projects were the following: Click to Connect, which was a community-based eHealth intervention that aimed to improve internet skills and health literacy among underserved groups by providing home access to high-speed internet, computer, and internet training classes, as well as a dedicated health web portal with ongoing technical support; PLANET MassCONECT, which was a knowledge translation project that built capacity among community-based organizations in Boston, Lawrence, and Worcester in Massachusetts to adopt evidence-based health promotion programs; and Smartphone App for Public Health, which was a mobile health research that facilitated both participatory (eg, surveys) and passive data (eg, geolocations and web-browsing behaviors) collection for the purpose of understanding tobacco message exposure in individuals’ built environment. Through our work, we distilled five key principles for researchers aiming to design eHealth interventions for underserved groups. They are as follows: develop a strategic road map to address communication inequalities (ie, a concrete action plan to identify the barriers faced by underserved groups and customize specific solutions to each of them), engage multiple stakeholders from the beginning for the long haul, design with usability—readability and navigability—in mind, build privacy safeguards into eHealth interventions and communicate privacy–utility tradeoffs in simplicity, and strive for an optimal balance between open science aspirations and protection of underserved groups.

O DUQUE DE CAXIAS NA GUERRA DO PARAGUAI: UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE A APLICABILIDADE DA TEORIA DO GRANDE HOMEM PARA A COMPREENSÃO HISTÓRICA

The current work has the purpose of analyzing the applicability of the Great Man Theory to comprehend history. This paper will show how it could the human path starting from the actions of the great people over it, exposing how their personalities, by their own scale, can change the course of the events. For this, it will be presented the trajectory of the Brazilian military man Luis Alves de Lima e Silva, the Duke of Caxias (1803-1880) in the Paraguayan War (1864-1870), showing how he was determinant to the progress of the conflict, finalizing with a favorable outcome for the Triple Alliance which opposed itself to Paraguay. To make this thesis, this work will also bring the biography’s importance as a factor of the historiographical study, without neglecting the weaknesses of this approach. Starting from that, it will be displayed the Great Man Theory as conceived by Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), explaining this thought with its fundamentals, critics and defenses. So on, it will be made a synthesis about the Paraguayan War, showing its main characteristics, and situating the Duke of Caxias and his role in the course of the conflict. For this research, the method utilized will be the deductive, which will start from the abstract ideas about the importance of the biography in the study of history and the Great Man Theory, until its demonstration in the concrete plan, versing about the Caxias qualification as a character from this category by his action in the Paraguayan War, and the proceeding adopted will be the historical, with researches in diverse and specialized sources about the proposed thematic. The final result presented is that the Great Man Theory is a completely valid idea for the explanation of history, and the presentation of the Caxias role at Paraguay is a good demonstration of it.

A Multispecies Design Approach in the Eure valley. Three Lessons from a Design Studio in Landscape Architecture

The current state of our planet gives rise to a range of new perspectives in the environmental humanities that take “multispecies” viewpoints into account. These voices are often framed as “more-than-human” research, as they criticize the deeply anthropocentric worldviews that fuel environmental degradation and acknowledge the imbricated nature of humans and nonhumans. This article reflects on a design studio as an attempt to translate often complex and abstract conversations in more-than-human literature into concrete methods, plans and approaches for landscape architecture. The design studio at the École nationale supérieure de Paysage in Versailles (ENSP Versailles) exploring the Eure valley can be understood as a case study within a larger research interest area, as it tries to understand the role of landscape design in (re)shaping human-nature relations and to connect landscape architecture practices to ongoing conversations in more-than-human literature. In this paper, we describe three different lessons drawn from the student design studio as possible directions for multispecies approaches in landscape architecture.
