Web-based alcohol use and cannabis use screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment: college students’ experience and perceived norms

Objectives The objectives were to examine students’ experience, perceived student norms, and perceived campus norms regarding web-based SBIRT based on substance use risk level. Participants One hundred forty-three students completed an alcohol SBIRT program and survey, and 80 students completed a cannabis SBIRT program and survey. Methods Undergraduates were recruited through campus-wide emails and a research management system. Results The majority of students found the SBIRT programs to be understandable, comfortable, and useful. Students reporting moderate/high-risk alcohol use were less likely to believe the information in the SBIRT program (X 2 (1, N = 143) = 16.334, p < .001). Students with moderate/high-risk cannabis use were less likely to indicate that students on campus would be open to taking the web-based SBIRT (X 2 (1, N = 80) = 7.680, p = .006). Conclusions Understanding students’ experience and perceived norms regarding web-based SBIRT can inform efforts to utilize this approach as part of campus prevention efforts.

Extended TODIM method based on VIKOR for quality evaluation of higher education scientific research management under interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy sets

Scientific research management is an important component of university management and an important guarantee for the sustainable operation of universities. A mature scientific research management system is a sharp tool to promote the discipline construction and comprehensive strength improvement of universities. Therefore, colleges and universities should actively explore new concepts, models, and mechanisms for scientific research management while continuously improving their own educational quality. Based on the analysis of the current situation of university scientific research management in China, it is of great significance to explore effective ways to improve the quality of university scientific research management in the new era. The quality evaluation of higher education scientific research management in entrepreneurship undergraduate colleges is a classical MAGDM problems. Recently, the TODIM and VIKOR method has been used to cope with MAGDM issues. The interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy sets (IVPFSs) are used as a tool for characterizing uncertain information during the quality evaluation of higher education scientific research management in entrepreneurship undergraduate colleges. In this manuscript, the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy TODIM-VIKOR (IVPF-TODIM-VIKOR) method is built to solve the MAGDM under IVPFSs. In the end, a numerical case study for quality evaluation of higher education scientific research management in entrepreneurship undergraduate colleges is given to validate the proposed method.

The Korean hip fracture registry study

BackgroundThe purpose of the Korean Hip Fracture Registry (KHFR) Study is to establish a nationwide, hospital-based prospective cohort study of adults with hip fracture to explore the incidence and risk factors of second osteoporotic fractures for a Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) model.MethodsThe KHFR, a prospective multicenter longitudinal study, was launched in 2014. Sixteen centers recruited participants who were treated for hip fracture. The inclusion criteria were patients, who were treated for proximal femur fracture due to low-energy trauma and aged 50 or more at the time of injury. Until 2018, 5,841 patients were enrolled in this study. Follow-up surveys were conducted annually to determine occurrence of second osteoporotic fracture, and 4,803 participants completed at least one follow-up survey.DiscussionKHFR is a unique resource of individual level on osteoporotic hip fracture with radiological, medical, and laboratory information including DXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry), bone turnover marker, body composition, and hand grip strength for future analyses for FLS model. Modifiable factors for mortality after hip surgery is planned to be identified with nutritional assessment and multi-disciplinary interventions from hospitalization to follow-ups. The proportions of femoral neck, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures were 517 (42.0%), 730 (53.6%), and 60 (4.4%), respectively, from 2014 to 2016, which was similar in other studies. Radiologic definition of atypical subtrochanteric fracture was adopted and 17 (1.2%) fractures among 1,361 proximal femoral fractures were identified. Internal fixation showed higher reoperation rate compared to arthroplasty in unstable intertrochanteric fractures (6.1% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.046) with no significant difference in mortality. The KHFR plans to identify outcomes and risk factors associated with second fracture by conducting a 10-year cohort study, with a follow-up every year, using 5,841 baseline participants.Trial registrationPresent study was registered on Internet-based Clinical Research and Trial management system (iCReaT) as multicenter prospective observational cohort study (Project number: C160022, Date of registration: 22th, Apr, 2016).

ISO 9001:2015 standard implementation in clinical trial centers: An exploratory analysis of benefits and barriers in Italy

BackgroundIn the last decade many clinical research centers in Italy have increasingly implemented and improved their quality standards and effectiveness of processes through the adoption of a quality management system also according to the certification ISO 9001:2015. ObjectiveThe aim of this project is to evaluate expected benefits and barriers of ISO 9001 certification for a Clinical Trial Center. Material and methodsOn April 2021, the Italian Group of Data Manager and Clinical Research Coordinator spread an anonymous online survey to healthcare professionals operating in clinical research and quality management systems at research sites. ResultsReported benefits of ISO oriented Quality Management System adoption include continual improvement and better-quality processes (73.3%), assuring corrective actions (63.6%), planning internal audits (60.2%) and risk management approach (60.7%). The most important barriers to QMS implementation are increased logistical and/or organizational activities (40.9%) and insufficient training on quality programs (29.5%). ConclusionsImplementing a quality management system represents a challenge for the Clinical Trial Center and helps to improve quality standards and risk management approach. The use of electronic tools is poor and could be increased in the future. Lastly, improvement of continuous QMS trainings should be necessary for updating professionals and optimizing activities within the Clinical Trial Center.

Perceiving Conflict of Interest Experts Recommendation System Based on a Machine Learning Approach

Academic societies and funding bodies that conduct peer reviews need to select the best reviewers in each field to ensure publication quality. Conventional approaches for reviewer selection focus on evaluating expertise based on research relevance by subject or discipline. An improved perceiving conflict of interest (CoI) reviewer recommendation process that combines the five expertise indices and graph analysis techniques is proposed in this paper. This approach collects metadata from the academic database and extracts candidates based on research field similarities utilizing text mining; then, the candidate scores are calculated and ranked through a professionalism index-based analysis. The highly connected subgraphs (HCS) algorithm is used to cluster similar researchers based on their association or intimacy in the researcher network. The proposed method is evaluated using root mean square error (RMSE) indicators for matching the field of publication and research fields of the recommended experts using keywords of papers published in Korean journals over the past five years. The results show that the system configures a group of Top-K reviewers with an RMSE 0.76. The proposed method can be applied to the academic society and national research management system to realize fair and efficient screening and management.

Technology Adoption Model-Based Comparison of Clinical Trial Software

Clinical research management systems are mainly used by both pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies to manage the clinical trial process from start to finish. Due to the very nature and complexity of the clinical research process, having a system that is easy to use and understand as well as navigate will ensure that the whole process is streamlined, with very few bottlenecks and limitations. In this work, the authors examined the use of two different clinical research systems, JEEVA and REDCAP, with the aim of understanding users' intentions and behavior towards the use of both systems. The authors used the original technology adoption model (TAM) on the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, usage behavior (attitude towards using), intention to use, to determine the extent of the user's acceptance of the JEEVA and REDCAP technology tools. The authors' current data analysis of the survey was collected, and findings show that JEEVA fares well compared to REDCAP. The authors also share feedback from users on their perception of the usefulness of both systems and improvement areas.

Integrated Evacuation and Rescue Management System in Response to Fire Incidents

Indoor evacuation and rescue systems are necessary for responding to unexpected events. In the event of fire incidents, finding a proper evacuation route planning for impacted people as an immediate response and a real-time rescue planning for the trapped people is challenging. Several approaches are developed to provide an evacuation or rescue system by integrating building data and BIM models. However, none of them took the issues of both evacuation and rescue into account, and the provided solutions are not properly aware of dynamic environmental change variables derived from remotely sensed data. In this research, an evacuation and rescue management system is designed based on the integration of dynamic data of fire progress, people status, and routing data. This system consists of two stages: dynamic evacuation and dynamic rescue with priority assessment. First, the environmental data is gathered and integrated with the static building data. Then, leveraging a risk assessment method, the level of rout safety is evaluated and a dynamic risk-aware rout planning is generated for each person to evacuate safely and fast. Finally, in the rescue stage, rescuers are assigned to the trapped people using a priority assessment method so that the success rate of rescue operation increases. The same rout risk assessment is used to develop route planning for rescue team to ensure their safety. A system framework and architecture is proposed as a reference for emergency response systems and the system is evaluated over two state of art baselines under several scenarios in AnyLogic. The results demonstrates that dynamic evacuation and rescue with priority assessment approach helps to save more people, reduce total time, lower the risk of human injury and efficiently assigns relief resources to the trapped users.

Leveraging retooled clinical research infrastructure for Clinical Research Management System implementation at a large Academic Medical Center.

Quality clinical research is essential for health care progress and is the mission of academic health centers. Yet ensuring quality depends on an institution's ability to measure, control, and respond to metrics of trial performance. Uninformed clinical research provides little benefit to health care, drains institutional resources, and may waste participants' time and commitment. Opportunities for ensuring high-quality research are multifactorial, including training, evaluation, and retention of research workforces; operational efficiencies; and standardizing policies and procedures. Duke University School of Medicine has committed to improving the quality and informativeness of our clinical research enterprise through investments in infrastructure with significant focus on optimizing research management system integration as a foundational element for quality management. To address prior technology limitations, Duke has optimized Advarra's OnCore for this purpose by seamlessly integrating with the IRB system, electronic health record, and general ledger. Our goal was to create a standardized clinical research experience to manage research from inception to closeout. Key drivers of implementation include transparency of research process data and generating metrics aligned with institutional goals. Since implementation, Duke has leveraged OnCore data to measure, track, and report metrics resulting in improvements in clinical research conduct and quality.

Research Management and Research Productivity among Lecturers at Kyambogo University, Uganda

Management is a critical factor for the performance of every organisation. Research management has thus become highly professionalised, with universities instituting systems, practices and structures to manage their research function. Universities also appoint high-level academic and administrative staff to coordinate, oversee and promote research activities to meet their research objectives. However, most universities in Uganda, Kyambogo, inclusive have not instituted functional research management. They still lack well-managed formal research teams, collaborations and partnerships, besides effective research training programmes, research monitoring, research ethical committees, journals and university press. This mixed-method study was, therefore, intended to investigate the effect of research management on research productivity at Kyambogo University. The study used self-administered questionnaires to collect quantitative data from 127 PhD-holding lecturers and interviews with seven key informers. The study applied structural equation modelling to analyse quantitative data and content thematic analysis for qualitative data. The results revealed weak research management in the university, and a positive and significant effect of research management on research productivity, with a Beta value of .402 and a P value of .000. The results imply that the near-absence of research management systems, practices and structures prevents lecturers from conducting research. The study thus recommended the institution of supportive research management systems, practices and structures in the university for increased research output among their academic staff.

Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Hemophilia in Korea - Report of the Korean Bleeding Disorder Registry (KBDR)

Background: Hemophilia is the rare bleeding disorders. To investigate the epidemiology, natural history and medical environment of hemophilia, the patient registry is the pivotal research design. Many developed countries have their own registry data and published valuable clinical data on the bleeding disorders. For now, there was no nationwide bleeding disorder registry except for the data from the registration program of Korea Hemophilia Foundation (KHF). We developed the first registry for the bleeding disorders in Korea with the funding from the Korean Society of Pediatric Hemato-Oncology (KSPHO) and KHF. We reported the initial interim results on the registry at International Conference of Korean Society of Hematology (ICKSH) in Apr 2022. Here we report the follow-up results on the hemophilia from the registry Method: We developed the registry platform using iCReaT(Internet based Clinical Research and Trial management system) operated by National Institute of Health in Korea. The registry was designed as the combined retrospective and prospective study for bleeding disorders. At the first stage we first collected data in retrospective fashion to overview the clinical status and epidemiology of bleedingdisorders in Korea. The data was collected under the approval of Institutional Review Board at each participating institution. Results: As of July 2022, total 625 patients were registered and this is about 1 of thirds of the population of hemophilia in Korea. The current age of this cohort was mean 29.7 ± 19.9, median 26.5 [IQR, 12.7;44.1] years old. Geographic distribution was Seoul (142, 22.7%), Gyunggi (133, 21.3%), Gwangju (101, 16.1%), Chonnam (96, 15.4%), Inchon 53 (8.4%), Ulsan 18 (2.9%) and others. The types of hemophilia were hemophilia A (409, 65.4%), hemophilia B (164, 26.4%), factor 7 deficiency 17 (2.7%), hemophilia C (15, 2.4%), and others. For the severity of hemophilia, 56.7% and 47.0% of hemophilia A and B were severe hemophilia, respectively. In 431 patients, only 50 patients (8%) had genetic variant information. For proportion of prophylaxis, 68.7% of hemophilia A and 51.8% of hemophilia B received prophylaxis. Total 109 patients underwent joint operation for arthropathy. For viral infection, the patients had hepatitis C in 127, hepatitis B in 59 patients and HIV in 4 patients. Conclusion: In this interim analysis of registry, 625 patients were registered. We described the baseline characteristics of hemophilia registry. This registry data will contribute the better understating on the detailed features of hemophilia in Korea and be cornerstone for further clinical studies to improve survival and quality of life of hemophilia.
