    Abstract Background: It is a unique challenge to provide radiation oncology care to cancer patients at the time of the COVID-19 outbreak without increasing the risk of staff and patients’ infection. In this paper, the impact of the remote access implementation strategy on the number of patients admitted for treatment and the physical presence time of the physicists in the department of medical physics of a radiotherapy center at the time of COVID-19 outbreak were evaluated. Method: Remote PCTm software has been applied for physicists and oncologists to have access from their homes or offices to computer and medical systems of the center, such as a treatment planning system (TPS) and Record and Verify (R&V) system. Most of the tasks in the medical physics department, such as image registration, contouring, plan optimization, plan evaluation, and plan verification were performed via remote access. Results: One-month studies after the implementation of this strategy showed that there was no notable change in the number of patients treated per month (less than 4% decrease compared to the average number of patients treated per month in the last year). The strategy significantly reduced the time required for the physical presence of medical physicists in the department (75%). Conclusions: The use of teleworking can reduce the physical presence and unnecessary involvement in the radiotherapy department. This may ultimately decrease the risk of contamination of staff and indirectly the risk of contamination of patients.

    Abstract Research on Multi-rotor Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) has experienced remarkable advancements over the past two decades, propelling the field forward at an accelerated pace. Through the implementation of motion control and the integration of specialized mechanisms, researchers have unlocked the potential of MAVs to perform a wide range of tasks in diverse scenarios. Notably, the literature has highlighted the distinctive attributes of MAVs that endow them with a competitive edge in physical interaction when compared to other robotic systems. In this survey, we present a categorization of the various types of physical interactions in which MAVs are involved, supported by comprehensive case studies. We examine the approaches employed by researchers to address different challenges using MAVs and their applications, including the development of different types of controllers to handle uncertainties inherent in these interactions. By conducting a thorough analysis of the strengths and limitations associated with different methodologies, as well as engaging in discussions about potential enhancements, this survey aims to illuminate the path for future research focusing on MAVs with high actuation capabilities.

    Abstract Mental health is strongly affected by physical (PA) and sedentary (SA) activity. In the current study, the relationships of PA and sedentary activity (SA) with mental status amid confinement caused by COVID-19 were examined. The study is self-reporting, survey-based, and cross-sectional in design. The study was conducted in Jordan and included 1744 participants (≥18 years old). The participants' mental status was obtained using the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS). The results showed involvement in both PA and SA during COVID-19-induced confinement. The involvement includes walking (77.2%), running (70.3%), cycling (84.9%), swimming (83.1%), sports (82.9%), weightlifting (86.4%), watching TV (79.4%), using electronics (86.3%), and logging to social media (85.1%). Lower DASS scores were associated (

    Abstract Aim: The aim of the study was to assess attitudes and practices of registered nurses toward physical examination in a clinical setting in Jordan and to determine the predictors of attitude and practice toward physical examination. Method: A cross sectional descriptive design was used. A sample of 277 registered nurses [RN] were recruited from various hospital units where they answered a 55 item Likert type scale. Results: Our study found that the main predictor of attitudes and practices of registered nurses toward physical examination was patients ‘stress when being examined by someone of the opposite gender. The multiple regression showed there are many factors that €œ za impact attitude and practice of performing physical examination in a clinical setting. These were the gender of the nurse who performed the physical and level of education [p < .01]. Conclusion: Our study found that the main predictor of attitudes and practices of registered nurses toward physical examination was patients ‘stress when being examined by someone of the opposite gender. There must be an explicit adoption of physical examination policy in clinical institutions such as hospitals and general health clinics.

    Abstract The notion of Cyber-Physical-Social System (CPSS) is an emerging concept developed as a result of the need to understand the impact of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) on humans and vice versa. This paradigm shift from CPS to CPSS was mainly attributed to the increasing use of sensor-enabled smart devices and the tight link with the users. The concept of CPSS has been around for over a decade and it has gained increasing attention over the past few years. The evolution to incorporate human aspects in the CPS research has unlocked a number of research challenges. Particularly human dynamics brings additional complexity that is yet to be explored. The exploration to conceptualise the notion of CPSS has been partially addressed in few scientific literatures. Although its conceptualisation has always been use-case dependent. Thus, there is a lack of generic view as most works focus on specific domains. Furthermore, the systemic core and design principles linking it with the theory of systems are loose. This work aims at addressing these issues by first exploring and analysing scientific literature to understand the complete spectrum of CPSS through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Thereby identifying the state-of-the-art perspectives on CPSS regarding definitions, underlining principles and application areas. Subsequently, based on the findings of the SLR, we propose a domain-independent definition and a meta-model for CPSS, grounded in the Theory of Systems. Finally, a discussion on feasible future research directions is presented based on the systemic notion and the proposed meta-models.

    Abstract Physical activity (PA) is a health-protective factor with multiple benefits for school-age children, yet only 22% of children and adolescents living in the United States (United States) accrue the recommended amount of moderate to vigorous PA. Given the prevalence of insufficient PA among children, promoting and providing PA opportunities during the school day, especially when integrated into the curriculum and linked to the learning standards, is essential for children. The purpose of this paper is to describe the procedure for the development of a school-based PA program using an integrated approach through the modified intervention mapping protocol (IMP). A total of 22 physical education teachers and 167 children from five different elementary schools were involved in the process. The procedure includes the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) that provides a theoretical framework that plays a vital role in motivating students to have a physically active lifestyle. This study applied SDT and IMP to develop and pilot a PA intervention called Project SMART using an integrative community participatory approach. As a pilot PA intervention, Project SMART is an online educational game where the students navigate a virtual journey across the United States A class's aggregate PA propels the students on their journey, where standards-based modules are unlocked to achieve STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and social-emotional learning outcomes while gaining an understanding of the importance of health behaviors and opportunities to habitually engage in healthy decision-making with the support of their peers. Although initially labor intensive for the researchers, the process of tailoring the intervention to the children's contextual and cultural needs has implications for all theoretically grounded and evidence-based PA interventions.
