Mental Wellbeing Among Workers Approaching Retirement: a Scoping Review

Increasing numbers of older workers have to postpone retirement to be eligible for pension income. Therefore, knowledge of how to ensure their mental wellbeing is becoming increasingly salient, especially in Nordic countries, where mental health problems are the most important reason for workers leaving the labor market prematurely. Yet, no systematic overview of what influences older workers’ mental wellbeing currently exists. This scoping review aims to build such knowledge and identify gaps in the literature. Employing a multi-faceted search strategy, we identified and reviewed 23 articles. The mental wellbeing of older workers is influenced by (a) working onditions, (b) workers’ socio-economic and psychological resources, and (c) uncertainties in the statutory framework. Research gaps include a lack of knowledge on (i) how the interaction between factors at the individual, workplace, and welfare state levels impacts older workers’ mental wellbeing, and (ii) the determinants of older workers’ mental wellbeing in Nordic countries.

Quantum collider probes of the fermionic Higgs portal

We explore the sensitivity of future hadron colliders to constrain the fermionic Higgs portal, with a focus on scenarios where the new fermions cannot be directly observed in exotic Higgs decays. This portal emerges in various models including twin-Higgs scenarios and dark matter models, posing significant challenges for collider tests. Working in an effective field theory (EFT), we determine the reach of the high-luminosity option of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), the high-energy upgrade of the LHC (HE-LHC) and a proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC) in probing the fermionic Higgs portal through off-shell and double-Higgs production. Notably, we find that quantum-enhanced indirect probes offer a better sensitivity than other direct Higgs measurements. We argue that this finding is valid in a wide class of ultraviolet realisations of the EFT. Our study presents a roadmap of a multifaceted search strategy for exploring the fermionic Higgs portal at forthcoming hadron machines.

Ethical considerations for artificial intelligence indermatology: a scoping review.

The field of dermatology is experiencing the rapid deployment of artificial intelligence (AI), from mobile applications (apps) for skin cancer detection to large language models like ChatGPT that can answer generalist or specialist questions about skin diagnoses. With these new applications, ethical concerns have emerged. In this scoping review, we aimed to identify the applications of AI to the field of dermatology and to understand their ethical implications. We used a multifaceted search approach, searching PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar for primary literature, following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guidance. Our advanced query included terms related to dermatology, AI and ethical considerations. Our search yielded 202 papers. After initial screening, 68 studies were included. Thirty-two were related to clinical image analysis and raised ethical concerns for misdiagnosis, data security, privacy violations and replacement of dermatologist jobs. Seventeen discussed limited skin of colour representation in datasets leading to potential misdiagnosis in the general population. Nine articles about teledermatology raised ethical concerns, including the exacerbation of health disparities, lack of standardized regulations, informed consent for AI use and privacy challenges. Seven addressed inaccuracies in the responses of large language models. Seven examined attitudes toward and trust in AI, with most patients requesting supplemental assessment by a physician to ensure reliability and accountability. Benefits of AI integration into clinical practice include increased patient access, improved clinical decision-making, efficiency and many others. However, safeguards must be put in place to ensure the ethical application of AI.

Communication strategies to support decision-making by persons with aphasia: A scoping review.

An individual's ability to make autonomous decisions is fundamental to self-determination. The presence of neurological pathology, for example, aphasia, and its associated difficulties with language and/or cognition, may affect an individual's capacity to make decisions, or their ability to reveal their capacity to make decisions. Decision-making by persons with aphasia (PWA) can be enhanced when communication partners are trained and if communication supports are provided, for example, supports that reduce the linguistic and cognitive demands of the task, and/or that facilitate expression. The main aim of this review is to identify the types of decisions for which persons with post-stroke aphasia receive support, the communication partners involved in supporting decision-making by PWA and the communication strategies implemented to support decision-making by PWA. A multifaceted search strategy was used. Specific keywords were used to search seven electronic databases. Hand-searches of two journals, as well as ancestral searches of the reference lists of selected articles was also performed. Through the application of predefined selection criteria, 16 journal articles, spanning from 1998 to 2021, were selected from the initial yield of 955 articles for inclusion in this review. Data pertaining to the aims of the study were extracted using a data-extraction form. This review shows that most of the research to date has focused on supporting persons with post-stroke aphasia in decisions pertaining to discharge planning or accommodation, and decisions pertaining to informed consent for participation in research. The communication partners cited most frequently as supporting decision-making by PWA are speech-language pathologists and family members. A range of communication strategies, most of which are components of Supported Conversation Techniques for Adults with Aphasia (SCA™), support decision-making by PWA. The most frequently listed strategies include augmenting information with different modalities, acknowledging the competence of the PWA, thereby inviting initiation and collaboration by the PWA, and the allocation of sufficient time for the decision-making process. This review presents research trends regarding the support of PWA in decision-making. Future research should focus on the effectiveness of the different strategies identified, and on the support of PWA in the making of a greater variety of complex decisions. What is already known on the subject PWA have the right to be given the opportunity to participate in personally relevant decision-making through all stages of life. Research has shown that decision-making can be enhanced with trained communication partners and if supports are provided that reduce the linguistic and cognitive demands of the task, and that support the expressive abilities of PWA. What this study adds to existing knowledge This scoping review is the first to synthesize the findings of research regarding the types of decisions for which persons with post-stroke aphasia receive support, the communication partners supporting PWA in making these decisions and the communication strategies implemented to support decision-making by PWA. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? Clinicians working with PWA may be sensitized to the role they can play in supporting decision-making by PWA, the current state of the literature regarding types of decisions that may need to be supported, communication partners who can provide such support and communication strategies that may be helpful in this regard.

Miniature Linguistic Systems for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Miniature linguistic systems (also known as matrix training) is a method of organizing learning targets to achieve generative learning or recombinative generalization. This systematic review is aimed at determining whether matrix training is effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in terms of improving recombinative generalization for instruction-following, expressive language, play skills, and literacy skills. A systematic review methodology was employed to limit bias in the various review stages. A multifaceted search was conducted. Potential primary studies were imported into Covidence, a systematic review software, and inclusion criteria were applied. Data were extracted regarding (a) participant characteristics, (b) matrix designs, (c) intervention methods, and (d) dependent variable. A quality appraisal using the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Single-Case Design Standards (Version 1.0, Pilot) was carried out. In addition to the visual analysis of the data, an effect size estimate, non-overlap of all pairs (NAP), was generated for each participant. Independent t tests and between-subjects analyses of variance were conducted to identify moderators of effectiveness. Twenty-six studies including 65 participants met criteria for inclusion. All included studies were single-case experimental designs. Eighteen studies received a rating of Meets Standards Without Reservations or Meets Standards With Reservations. The aggregated combined NAP scores for acquisition, recombinative generalization, and maintenance of a range of outcomes were in the high range. Findings suggested that matrix training is an effective teaching method for individuals with ASD for acquisition, recombinative generalization, and maintenance of a range of outcomes. Statistical analyses to identify moderators of effectiveness were insignificant. Based on the WWC Single-Case Design Standards matrix training meets criteria to be considered an evidence-based practice for individuals with ASD.

Effects of Interventions Involving Speech Output Technologies on Communication Outcomes for Individuals With Developmental Disabilities: A Scoping Review.

This scoping review aimed to map the literature on the effects of interventions involving speech output technologies on communication outcomes for individuals with developmental disabilities other than autism spectrum disorder. A scoping review methodology was used to limit bias in searching, selecting, coding, and synthesizing relevant intervention studies. This involved a multifaceted search for studies conducted between 1991 and March 2021 using various electronic databases, ancestry searches, and forward citation searches from selected articles. Studies had to meet stringent inclusion criteria. Each study was summarized in terms of authors, purpose, participants, design, speech output, outcomes, effectiveness, and quality appraisal. Twenty-five single-case experimental design studies (88 participants) and one group design studies (62 participants) qualified for inclusion. Most of the participants had multiple diagnoses followed by a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. Most studies focused on requesting behaviors and to a much lesser extent on syntactic structure and word identification. A dearth of high-quality studies was identified. Overall, there is a paucity of high-quality research investigating the effects of speech output technologies for children with developmental disabilities. Additionally, several directions for future research are posited. https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.20468928.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Childhood Apraxia of Speech Among Children With Autism: Narrative Review and Clinical Recommendations.

Treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and low verbal ability is a largely neglected area of study. Existing research focuses on language abilities; however, a subset of children with ASD also has speech sound disorders (SSDs). The purpose of this tutorial is to provide clinicians with evidence-based recommendations to guide speech assessment and treatment among children with ASD, low verbal ability, and suspected childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Multifaceted search procedures were used to identify studies that have assessed or treated speech sound production among children with ASD. A narrative review and synthesis of the literature is followed by practical clinical recommendations based on best available evidence. It is critically important to consider all possible hindrances to the development of functional communication ability for children with ASD. Speech sound production has been identified as a key predictor of expressive language outcomes, yet there are very few studies that address assessment and treatment of SSDs among children with ASD. Less is known about the presentation of CAS among children with ASD and low verbal ability. More research is needed to determine whether existing speech assessment and treatment methods are appropriate for children with ASD, if modifications are needed, or if new methods should be designed.

Intelligent assistive technology devices for persons with dementia: A scoping review

ABSTRACT Assistive technology (AT) with context-aware computing and artificial intelligence capabilities can be applied to address cognitive and communication impairments experienced by persons with dementia (PwD). This paper aims to provide an overview of current literature regarding some characteristics of intelligent assistive technology devices (IATDs) for cognitive and communicative impairments of PwD. It also aims to identify the areas of impairment addressed by these IATDs. A multi-faceted systematic search strategy yielded records. Predefined criteria were applied for inclusion and data extraction. Thereafter data was thematically analysed and synthesised. This review demonstrates that almost all of the research involving IATDs has focused on cognitive impairments of PwD and has not yet evolved past the conceptual or prototype stages of development. Summaries of commercially available IATDs for PwD and relevant prototypes are provided at the end of this review. This research concluded that IATDs for PwD targeting cognition and communication problems primarily focus on social robots, and that they address cognitive impairments of attention, affect, and social-pragmatic communicative impairments. Future research endeavours concerning AT for PwD should explore collaboration between computer engineering and health practitioners to address the identified gaps. This may contribute to the available information for evidence-based decision making for PwD.

Core Outcome Sets Relevant to Maternity Service Users: A Scoping Review.

Variation in outcomes reported in maternity-related clinical trials and practice stifles data synthesis and contributes to ineffective or harmful treatments and interventions. Variation can be addressed using core outcome sets (COSs), minimum agreed sets of outcomes that should be measured and reported in all clinical trials in a specific area of health or health care. This scoping review identified studies that developed maternity-related COSs; evaluated the extent, scope, quality, and consistency of outcomes across similar COSs; and identified current gaps in evidence. A multifaceted search of 2 COS registers (Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials, Core Outcomes in Women's and Newborn Health), the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement website, electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL), and hand search was conducted. Published, English-language studies describing maternal and neonatal COSs for any health condition and published from inception to January 2020 were included. COS development process was evaluated against recently published COS Standards for Development: scope, stakeholder involvement, and consensus process. Thirty-two articles relating to 26 COSs were included (maternal: 18 articles that addressed 17 COSs; neonatal: 14 articles that addressed 9 COSs) and covered a range of obstetric and neonatal conditions. COSs were published between 2006 and 2020, 58% since 2017. Maternal COSs included more outcomes (median, 17; range, 50) than neonatal COSs (median, 8; range, 20). Overlap in COSs was seen for maternity care and gestational diabetes. Overlap in outcomes was seen across similar COSs, which were mostly inconsistent or poorly defined. No included COS met all minimum standards for development. Two COSs extended recommendations for how and when to measure outcomes. Growth in COS development in the last 3 years signifies increasing commitment to address variation and improve data synthesis. Although the quality of the development process has improved in the last 3 years, there is a need for improvement. This article presents an urgent need to minimize overlap in outcomes and standardize outcome measurement, case definitions, and timing of measurement between COSs.

Scalable and Multifaceted Search and Its Application for Binary Malware Files

Malicious binary files are a serious threat to industrial information systems. Because of their large number, an automatic assistant tool becomes essential for analysis, and finding similar files would be a great help. In this paper, we present a fast, scalable, and multifaceted search scheme to find similar binary malware files. We use a content-defined chunking algorithm to convert a file into a feature set for the first time. The proposed scheme uses MinHash to reduce any feature set of any file to a fixed size, which significantly improves search accuracy, processing speed, and space utilization. We theoretically prove that the new scheme returns similar files in jaccard index order. Through implementation and experiments with 12 million malicious files, we confirm that the search speed is increased by 600%, space is reduced by 90%, and the accuracy is increased by 400% at least, compared with the state-of-the-art of Elasticsearch.

Phasertng: directed acyclic graphs for crystallographic phasing.

Crystallographic phasing strategies increasingly require the exploration and ranking of many hypotheses about the number, types and positions of atoms, molecules and/or molecular fragments in the unit cell, each with only a small chance of being correct. Accelerating this move has been improvements in phasing methods, which are now able to extract phase information from the placement of very small fragments of structure, from weak experimental phasing signal or from combinations of molecular replacement and experimental phasing information. Describing phasing in terms of a directed acyclic graph allows graph-management software to track and manage the path to structure solution. The crystallographic software supporting the graph data structure must be strictly modular so that nodes in the graph are efficiently generated by the encapsulated functionality. To this end, the development of new software, Phasertng, which uses directed acyclic graphs natively for input/output, has been initiated. In Phasertng, the codebase of Phaser has been rebuilt, with an emphasis on modularity, on scripting, on speed and on continuing algorithm development. As a first application of phasertng, its advantages are demonstrated in the context of phasertng.xtricorder, a tool to analyse and triage merged data in preparation for molecular replacement or experimental phasing. The description of the phasing strategy with directed acyclic graphs is a generalization that extends beyond the functionality of Phasertng, as it can incorporate results from bioinformatics and other crystallographic tools, and will facilitate multifaceted search strategies, dynamic ranking of alternative search pathways and the exploitation of machine learning to further improve phasing strategies.

HMPDACC: a Human Microbiome Project Multi-omic data resource.

The Human Microbiome Project (HMP) explored microbial communities of the human body in both healthy and disease states. Two phases of the HMP (HMP and iHMP) together generated >48TB of data (public and controlled access) from multiple, varied omics studies of both the microbiome and associated hosts. The Human Microbiome Project Data Coordination Center (HMPDACC) was established to provide a portal to access data and resources produced by the HMP. The HMPDACC provides a unified data repository, multi-faceted search functionality, analysis pipelines and standardized protocols to facilitate community use of HMP data. Recent efforts have been put toward making HMP data more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. HMPDACC resources are freely available at www.hmpdacc.org.

Exploring Unsupervised Query Paraphrasing to Identify Relevant Search Phrases for a Literature Review.

Literature databases have multifaceted search options, but emerging research areas do not have an established terminology and therefore it is difficult to find relevant literature when conducting a review. This study aimed to explore if an unsupervised paraphrasing approach is useful in identifying relevant search phrases for a literature review on an emerging research topic - situational leadership in critical care. Using an initial set of 12 search phrases, the system was used to propose additional phrases, which were manually classified and further used in an expanded PubMed database search. Finally, we assessed the papers found with the expanded search and compared this to the initial search results. As a result, the expanded search more than tripled the search results, from 182 to 673 papers. The expanded search also more than tripled the number of relevant papers, from 12 in the original search to 39 in the expanded search.

Conversational Interfaces for Health: Bibliometric Analysis of Grants, Publications, and Patents.

BackgroundConversational interfaces (CIs) in different modalities have been developed for health purposes, such as health behavioral intervention, patient self-management, and clinical decision support. Despite growing research evidence supporting CIs’ potential, CI-related research is still in its infancy. There is a lack of systematic investigation that goes beyond publication review and presents the state of the art from perspectives of funding agencies, academia, and industry by incorporating CI-related public funding and patent activities.ObjectiveThis study aimed to use data systematically extracted from multiple sources (ie, grant, publication, and patent databases) to investigate the development, research, and fund application of health-related CIs and associated stakeholders (ie, countries, organizations, and collaborators).MethodsA multifaceted search query was executed to retrieve records from 9 databases. Bibliometric analysis, social network analysis, and term co-occurrence analysis were conducted on the screened records.ResultsThis review included 42 funded projects, 428 research publications, and 162 patents. The total dollar amount of grants awarded was US $30,297,932, of which US $13,513,473 was awarded by US funding agencies and US $16,784,459 was funded by the Europe Commission. The top 3 funding agencies in the United States were the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Boston Medical Center was awarded the largest combined grant size (US $2,246,437) for 4 projects. The authors of the publications were from 58 countries and 566 organizations; the top 3 most productive organizations were Northeastern University (United States), Universiti Teknologi MARA (Malaysia), and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS; France). US researchers produced 114 publications. Although 82.0% (464/566) of the organizations engaged in interorganizational collaboration, 2 organizational research-collaboration clusters were observed with Northeastern University and CNRS as the central nodes. About 112 organizations from the United States and China filed 87.7% patents. IBM filed most patents (N=17). Only 5 patents were co-owned by different organizations, and there was no across-country collaboration on patenting activity. The terms patient, child, elderly, and robot were frequently discussed in the 3 record types. The terms related to mental and chronic issues were discussed mainly in grants and publications. The terms regarding multimodal interactions were widely mentioned as users’ communication modes with CIs in the identified records.ConclusionsOur findings provided an overview of the countries, organizations, and topic terms in funded projects, as well as the authorship, collaboration, content, and related information of research publications and patents. There is a lack of broad cross-sector partnerships among grant agencies, academia, and industry, particularly in the United States. Our results suggest a need to improve collaboration among public and private sectors and health care organizations in research and patent activities.

Review of AAC interventions in persons with dementia.

Communication is an important priority in dementia research. Communication strategies and scaffolds, specifically through augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), offer vital compensatory support for persons with dementia in an attempt to maintain the latter's quality of life and well-being through participation with others. To date, no research review has been published that synthesizes the current research of AAC in the field of dementia. To provide an overview of current AAC strategies and techniques used for supporting communication in dementia by surveying the literature base in a systematic manner, synthesizing the findings and highlighting trends and gaps. A multifaceted search strategy included nine electronic database searches, using specific keywords. Application of predefined selection criteria during screening procedures led to the inclusion of 39 studies. Data were extracted and studies synthesized according to communication partners; description of AAC strategies and techniques; outcome measures; and communication outcomes. This review shows that the majority of the research to date has focused on supporting the interactions of persons with dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT) using non-electronic memory and communication aids. Future research should focus on social participation and person-centred communication to optimize functional communication with AAC. Training programmes targeting dyadic interaction and supporting persons with dementia from diverse ethnic backgrounds are avenues for further research. Research trends and, more importantly, the gaps highlighted in this research review present speech-language therapists and researchers with a set of current priorities that are necessary for the advancement of the knowledge base.

Rapid Prompting Method and Autism Spectrum Disorder: Systematic Review Exposes Lack of Evidence

This systematic review is aimed at examining the effectiveness of the rapid prompting method (RPM) for enhancing motor, speech, language, and communication and for decreasing problem behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A multi-faceted search strategy was carried out. A range of participant and study variables and risk and bias indicators were identified for data extraction. RPM had to be evaluated as an intervention using a research design capable of empirical demonstration of RPM’s effects. No studies met the inclusion criteria, resulting in an empty review that documents a meaningful knowledge gap. Controlled trials of RPM are warranted. Given the striking similarities between RPM and Facilitated Communication, research that examines the authorship of RPM-produced messages needs to be conducted.

Filozoficzne i teologiczne podstawy atomistycznej koncepcji materii w ujęciu Henry’ego More’a

The natural philosophy of Henry More was an integral part of a wide-ranging venture, the aim of which was to defend and promote certain theological theses, and this context also influenced the process of shaping his views on the nature of matter. More adopts the atomistic position primarily because it corresponds to his views, on the one hand, on the nature of extension and the discernibility of matter and, on the other hand, on his concept of God's omnipotence. One should also not forget that the wider context of the whole discussion is the justification of the existence of spiritual substances, and for More, the concept of matter and its nature is only a convenient point of reference. This state of affairs does not obviously mean that the philosophical layer of his reflections on the nature of matter has no value in itself. They are part of a multifaceted search for arguments for atomism that lasted for many decades of the seventeenth century. In this context, reference was made to observations carried out with the use of the microscope, and to (al-)chemical experiments, and to considerations of a logical and theological nature. This last, religious context constituted a very important feature in the entire 17 th century era, but in More's views it manifests itself with particular strength.

Focused on Cognitive Tasks Interactive Search Interface

The components, structure and technologies of the interactive interface, focused on semantic search as a part of the cognitive process, are considered. The task of such interface is to form a trajectory for the new knowledge synthesis on a base of fragments (meanings) of found documents. Indexes, search mechanisms and results presentation forms are considered as operational components of the interface (entry points). The search trajectory is realized both by traditional retrieval mechanisms, and by moving between the associated visual elements within the search results. Contextual visual highlighting of terms within the displayed document is used as a means of organizing the process. The terms of the current query are highlighted, as well as the terms of related topics specified by profiled vocabulary. This increases the variety of entry points plus by improving the “visibility” of key aspects of the document, and makes it possible to realize a person’s multifaceted search within the framework of a monothematic request-response act.
