Impact and cost-effectiveness of Neotree, a digital data capture and decision support tool designed to improve neonatal survival in Zimbabwe
INTRODUCTION: Many neonatal deaths are avoidable using existing low-cost evidence-based interventions. This study evaluated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Neotree, a digital quality improvement tool combining data capture with education and clinical decision support, implemented in a Zimbabwean hospital. METHODS: Neotree was implemented in Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital (CPH) in December 2020. Using data collected for all neonates admi…
Mask Use by 2020 U.S. Presidential Candidates
Drawing from framing theory and the health belief model, we investigated the influence of images and comments accompanying COVID-19-related social media news posts on COVID-19-related attitudes and mask use. Using a mixed factorial design, we examined the visual cue mask use frame and the textual cue comment valence (between-subjects), and the U.S. presidential candidate (Republican v. Democrat) portraying mask-wearing behavior (within-subjects) …
Adapting a digital quality improvement system (Neotree) for newborn care in primary health centres and community hospitals
BACKGROUND: Digital innovations incorporating clinical digital support can improve the delivery of perinatal and postnatal care, yet few interventions exist in primary care settings. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to adapt a digital quality improvement system (Neotree) from tertiary facilities to lower-level facilities providing Level 1 newborn care. METHODS: We conducted a mixed method stepwise study using the ADAPT framework. We conducted a needs and tec…
A unified acoustic-to-speech-to-language embedding space captures the neural basis of natural language processing in everyday conversations
This study introduces a unified computational framework connecting acoustic, speech and word-level linguistic structures to study the neural basis of everyday conversations in the human brain. We used electrocorticography to record neural signals across 100 h of speech production and comprehension as participants engaged in open-ended real-life conversations. We extracted low-level acoustic, mid-level speech and contextual word embeddings from a …
Determinants of factors affecting readiness of academic institutions to conduct knowledge translation in low- and middle-income countries
Introduction Capacity building strategies have been used to improve uptake of knowledge translation (KT) activities among academic institutions, but little is known about their effectiveness, contextual responsiveness, and adaptability. Many of these strategies target individuals while few address institutional gaps. This research describes the determinants for conducting KT (or readiness to conduct such activities) at the institutional level acr…
The impact of HIV knowledge and attitudes on HIV testing acceptance among patients in an emergency department in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
Interventions focused on improving patient perceptions around testing confidentiality will likely have the greatest impact on testing acceptance in the emergency department
A multi-pronged scoping review approach to understanding the evolving implementation of the Smallpox and Polio eradication programs
Linear learning did not always occur between SEP and GPEI; several lessons were lost and had to be re-learned. Implementation and adaptation of strategies in global health programs should be well codified, including information on the contextual, time and stakeholders' issues that elicit adaptations. Such description can improve the systematic translation of knowledge, and gains in efficiency and effectiveness of future global health programs
Evaluating the process of partnership and research in global health
Successful management of multi-country, multicentered implementation research requires comprehensive communication tools (which to our knowledge do not exist yet or are not readily available), expectation setting, and institutional support. Capacity building activities that address human resource needs for both individuals and their institutions should be incorporated into early project planning
Ascetics, kings, and the ‘triumphs’ of Vaiṣṇavism in Mughal India
This paper interrogates popular narratives regarding the spread of Vaiṣṇavism in early modern North India through an examination of the memory of the Rāmānandī ascetic and bhakti saint Krishnadās Payahārī. Payahārī is remembered as a pious, Nāth Yogi-defeating wonder worker as well as a powerful figure in the political sphere, directly responsible for the conversion of kings from Śaiva-Śākta tantric religion to Vaiṣṇava devotion. Examining oral t…
