University of Birmingham Facilitating Implementation of Research Evidence (FIRE)

Background: Health care practice needs to be underpinned by high quality research evidence, so that the best possible care can be delivered. However, evidence from research is not always utilised in practice. This study used the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS) framework as its theoretical underpinning to test whether two different approaches to facilitating implementation could affect the use of research evidence in practice. Methods: A pragmatic clustered randomised controlled trial with embedded process and economic evaluation was used. The study took place in four European countries across 24 long-term nursing care sites, for people aged 60 years or more with documented urinary incontinence. In each country, sites were randomly allocated to standard dissemination, or one of two different types of facilitation. The primary outcome was the documented percentage compliance with the continence recommendations, assessed at baseline, then at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after the intervention. Data were analysed using STATA15, multi-level mixed-effects linear regression models were fitted to scores for compliance with the continence recommendations, adjusting for clustering. Results: Quantitative data were obtained from reviews of 2313 records. There were no significant differences in the primary outcome (documented compliance with continence recommendations) between study arms and all study arms improved over time. Conclusions: This was the first cross European randomised controlled trial with embedded process evaluation that sought to test different methods of facilitation. There were no statistically significant differences in compliance with continence recommendations between the groups. It was not possible to identify whether different types and “ doses ” of facilitation were influential within very diverse contextual conditions. The process evaluation (Rycroft-Malone et al., Implementation Science. doi: 10.1186/s13012-018-0811-0) revealed the models of facilitation used were limited in their ability to overcome the influence of contextual factors. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union ’ s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007 – 2013) under grant agreement no. 223646. for the baseline measurements of the compliance scores were calculated through ANOVA with adjustment for clustering and unequal cluster size. Post-estimation ICCs are calculated after fitting the regression models. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA and chi-square tests were used, where appropriate, to examine differences between groups with regard to secondary outcomes. Data were examined by an independent data mon-itoring committee.
Error Analysis of ESL Learners: An Indian Perspective

The study examines the errors committed by second language learners in their writing. It also tracesthe effect of Error Analysis (EA) teaching techniques on ESL students’ writing skill. A total of 100 undergraduate students of the Bridge Course at Aligarh Muslim University were the subject of the study. Firstly, a pretest was conducted at the semester beginning where students were asked to write a composition. These write-ups were analyzed and results were saved. In the next stage, students were given multiple activities based on grammar and writing for around 3 months as a treatment. The main focus of the treatment was to look into the specific errors collected in the pretest. After completing the treatment, a posttest was performed to assess any change in type and frequency of errors. Errors of both tests categorized mainly into four types: omission, addition, misformation and misordering. These errors are further analyzed by adopting the notions of Coder’s Error Analysis and Surface Strategy Taxonomy as theoretical frameworks. Moreover, acomparison of pretest and posttest results shows significant reduction in the frequency of errors in posttest denoted that treatment had positive effects on the performance of students. Hence, it is expected that through this study, ESL teachers will be more familiar with the most common errors made by students. They will investigate the causes of errors and recommend appropriate solutions. This study will also assist teachers to make more objective decisions about adopting relevant content and teaching strategies to help ESL students learn better
Graph Neural Networks and Graph Kernels For Learning Heuristics: Is there a difference?

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been used in various works for learning heuristics to guide search for planning. However, they are hindered by their slow evaluation speed and their limited expressiveness. It is also a known fact that the expressiveness of common GNNs is bounded by the Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL) algorithm for testing graph isomorphism, and for generating features for graphs. Thus, one may ask how do GNNs compare against machine learning models operating on WL features of planning problems represented as graphs? Our experiments show that linear models with WL features outpeform GNN models for learning heuristics for planning in the learning track of the 2023 International Planning Competition (IPC). Most notably, our model WL-GOOSE is the first model in the learning for planning literature which can reliably learn heuristics from scratch that are competitive with h FF on problem sizes much larger than those seen in the training set.
: Characterization and Interrelationships of Theory of Mind, Socially Competitive Emotions and Affective Empathy in Bipolar Disorder

Evidence shows impaired Theory of Mind (ToM) in patients with bipolar disorder (BD), yet research examining its cognitive and affective components simultaneously is sparse. Moreover, recognition of socially competitive ‘fortune of others’ emotions (e.g. envy/gloat) may be related to ToM, but has not been assessed in BD. Finally, if and how ToM and ‘fortune of others’ emotions relate to affective empathy in BD is currently unclear. In this study, 64 BD patients and 34 healthy controls completed the Yoni task, a visual task assessing first-and second-order cognitive and affective ToM as well as ‘fortune of others’ emotions. The Toronto Empathy Questionnaire was used to assess self-reported affective empathy. Patients with BD showed no deficits in cognitive and affective ToM or recognition of ‘fortune of others’ emotions. The ability to infer ‘fortune of others’ emotions correlated with several ToM measures, indicating that these functions are part of the same system. Patients with BD reported similar levels of affective empathy to healthy controls, and this was not related to ToM or ‘fortune of others’ emotions, suggesting that affective empathy represents a separate social domain. These findings highlight areas of spared social functioning in BD, which may be utilized in therapeutic strategies.
Cost-Economic Evaluation of Robotic tiller-Planterversus Conventional Tillage and Planting: A Comparative Study

The labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming nature of manual tillage and planting in maize cultivation necessitates the integration of mechanized and robotic methods. This study focuses on the economic evaluation of a Robotic tiller-planter as a solution to address these challenges. Precise robotic tilling and planting methods aim to mitigate cultivation costs, reduce time requirements, and enhance worker comfort. Through a thorough assessment of ownership and operational expenses, farmers gain valuable insights to make informed decisions regarding the adoption of precise robotic machinery, optimization of existing equipment, or exploration of alternative methods for improved farm productivity and financial outcomes. The study compares the Robotic tiller-planter with conventional tillage and planting methods, revealing ownership and operating costs of 172.48 Rs/h and 126.44 Rs/h, respectively. The comparative analysis demonstrated a remarkable 61.58%time savings and a 54.72% reduction in costs during tilling and planting when utilizing the Robotic tiller-planter compared to conventional methods. The findings highlight the cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits associated with the robotic system. This research provides farmers with crucial insights, promoting the adoption of advanced agricultural technologies to optimize resource utilization, improve efficiency, and substitute sustainable farming practices.
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology

The internal-feeding insect, Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a ubiquitous and significant pest that burrows into grain that has been stored. The larvae of weevils feed mostly on the grain germ, eliminating a significant portion of the protein and vitamins, whereas adult weevils primarily feed on the endosperm, decreasing the amount of carbohydrates. In this study, S. oryzae infestation was monitored on five types of grains: rice, wheat, oat, maize, and barely. The grains were kept at 32 ± 2 °C, 65 ± 5% RH, and a 14:10 (L:D) h photoperiod. The results revealed that both wheat and maize were the most susceptible grains to the insect. Wheat grains were generally more preferred in both non-choice and free-choice tests, whereas oats were the least preferred in this respect. The different grains had a significant effect on adult emergence and weight loss by this insect. In non-choice test, the highest average number of the emerged adults of S. oryzae after 30 and 60 days was recorded on wheat grains (11.8±0.96 and 16.8±0.86 indiv.) followed by maize grains (8.8±1.15 and 15.2±1.56 indiv.), In free choice test, the highest average number of the emerged adults was recorded on wheat grains followed by maize grains and rice grains after 48 and 72 h from infestation.

Low-Cost, Wireless Bioelectric Signal Acquisition and Classiﬁcation Platform

Bioelectric signal classification is a flourishing area of biomedical research, however conducting this research in a clinical setting can be difficult to achieve. The lack of inexpensive acquisition hardware can limit researchers from collecting and working with real-time data. Furthermore, hardware requiring direct connection to a computer can impose restrictions on typically mobile clinical settings for data collection. Here, we present an open-source ADS1299-based bioelectric signal acquisition system with wireless capability suitable for mobile data collection in clinical settings. This system is based on the ADS_BP and BioPatRec, both open-source bioelectric signal acquisition hardware and MATLAB-based pattern recognition software, respectively. We provide 3D-printable housing enabling the hardware to be worn by users during experiments and demonstrate the suitability of this platform for real-time signal acquisition and classification. In conjunction, these developments provide a unified hardware-software platform for a cost of around $150 USD. This device can enable researchers and clinicians to record bioelectric signals from able-bodied or motor-impaired individuals in laboratory or clinical settings, and to perform offline or real-time intent classification for the control of robotic and virtual devices
Femoral Component External Rotation A ﬀ ects Knee Biomechanics: A Computational Model of Posterior-stabilized TKA

Background The correct amount of external rotation of the femoral component during TKA is controversial because the resulting changes in bio-mechanical knee function associated with varying degrees of femoral component rotation are not well understood. We addressed this question using a computational model, which allowed us to isolate the bio-mechanical impact of geometric factors including bony shapes, location of ligament insertions, and implant size across three different knees after posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA. Questions/purposes Usingacomputa-tional model of the tibiofemoral joint, we asked: (1) Does external rotation unload the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and what is the effect on lateral collateral ligament tension? (2) How does external rotation alter tibiofe-moral contact loads and kinematics? (3) Does 3° external rotation relative to the posterior condylar axis align the component to the surgical trans-epicondylar axis (sTEA) and what anatomic factors of the femoral condyle explain variations in maximum MCL tension among knees?
Sleep Health: Journal of the National Sleep Foundation

Objective: To explore whether there is a genetic causal relationship between sleep traits and the risk of autoimmune arthritis (AA). Methods: Univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization was employed using genome-wide association studies data to assess sleep traits’ associations with AAs, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis. The inverse-variance weighted method served as the primary analysis, supplemented by the CAUSE method to improve power and mitigate false positives. Mediation Mendelian randomization was used to quantify direct and indirect effects. Results: Significant associations were shown between insomnia symptoms and increased risk of overall RA (odds ratio = 2.75, 95% confidence interval 1.45-5.22) and seronegative RA (odds ratio = 6.95, 95% confidence interval 2.47-19.56). CAUSE results revealed an association of insomnia symptoms with overall RA and seronegative RA, as well as the sleep duration with overall RA. After the adjustment for body mass index, alcohol status, smoking status, and physical activity levels, multivariable analyses revealed that genetic predisposition to insomnia symptoms and prolonged sleep duration showed independent negative associations with the risk of overall RA and seropositive RA. In the reversed multivariable analyses, a borderline negative association was shown in the overall RA-sleep duration and a positive association of seropositive RA with the risk of insomnia symptoms. Conclusion: This study demonstrated a potential bidirectional causal relationship that genetic predisposition to insomnia symptoms and shorter sleep duration was associated with the risk of AA, especially RA. Genetic predisposition to RA was also associated with decreased sleep duration, as well as increased insomnia symptom risk.
KOREAN JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS

Grammatical complexity of written and spoken language of L2 leaners has been extensively studied, but casual conversation of L2 learners remains rarely explored although it is considered one of the most basic forms of speech. This study explores whether proficiency level modulates grammatical complexity in casual conversation. We examined the conversations performed by 51 Korean EFL learners of two proficiency levels (HIGH and LOW) and 21 native speakers of American English (NS). The syntactic complexity was measured for global scale complexity (e.g., production length, use of subordination) and clause complexity for fine-grained scale complexity (e.g., components within a clause). As a result, in the global scale, HIGH demonstrated complex structures more often than LOW in general, and similarly with or more often than NS. HIGH employed subordination as often as NS do, but demonstrated more complex structures for production length and complex nominals. NS used more coordination than the non-native speakers. In the fine-grained scale, HIGH produced more dependents in a clause than LOW in general. When compared with NS, HIGH employed more dependents and subordination conjunctions or similar number of clausal complements and prepositions. In short, HIGH used grammatical structures close to written compositions rather than natural conversation. The results suggest that proficient learners can readily use complex structures as often as NS do, but their conversation is not as natural as that of NS.

Soil Characterization, Classification and Land Suitability Evaluation for Cocoa Production in Ijaka-Isale, Yewa North, Ogun State, Nigeria

: Sustainable crop production necessitates that potential and the nutrients level of the soils to be used should be evaluated. 20 acres of land was evaluated for cocoa production in Yewa North local government, Ogun state and the soils were classified according to the criteria of USDA Soil Taxonomy system and correlated with FAO World Reference Base for Soil Resources. Four soil mapping unit identified were classified as Alfisols and correlate as Lixisols. The surface horizons were slightly acidic in reaction while the sub soils were strongly acidic. The soils are deficient in macro and micro elements, their values were below the critical level required for optimum cocoa production. Suitability evaluation of the soils was carried out using parametric approach and the result showed that presently, the soils of mapping units A, B and C are marginally suitable (S3) while mapping unit D is presently not suitable for cocoa production. With the appropriate fertility management, the soils would be classified as moderately suitable (S2) for cocoa production.

Surface water resources of South Africa

Water is arguably South Africa's most precious natural resource. Research and investigations have shown that groundwater resources in South Africa are relatively meagre. South Africa's major water supplies are and will probably always be derived mainly from surface resources. South Africa's climate is semi-arid with an average rainfall of 475 mm/a, compared with 735 mm for the USA and 860 mm for the world as a whole.1 In South Africa about nine per cent of the precipitation, ie 43 mm or about 52.109 m3/a, reaches the river systems as runoff. The economically exploitable proportion of this is estimated at 34.109 m3/a, ie 67 per cent of the total. It is predicted that all of this will be fully exploited by the year 2020.2
A clinico pathological study of solitary nodule of the thyroid with special reference to imprint cytology

Solitary thyroid nodule is defined as presence of a palpable nodule in otherwise normal thyroid gland. Imprint cytology is more valuable in differentiating benign and malignant follicular nodules than FNAC. So by doing imprint cytology following hemithyroidectomy definite peroperative diagnosis can be arrived at in most of the cases and appropriate surgical management can be done at the first instance. This study is mainly aimed to compare and correlate between FNAC, Imprint cytology and histopathological examination of solitary nodule thyroid. The present study is a prospective analysis of 50 cases of solitary nodule thyroid, among whom 48 were females and 2 were males. The sensitivity and specificity of FNAC and imprint cytology to diagnose each lesion were compared and from this study it can be inferred that imprint cytology is more sensitive and specific than FNAC to diagnose benign lesions of thyroid like follicular adenoma and colloid goitre. Both FNAC and imprint cytology are easy and cheap and sensitive and specific method to diagnose benign lesions of thyroid but imprint cytology was more sensitive and specific than FNAC to diagnose follicular neoplasms and colloid goitre. The sensitivity and specificity of FNAC and imprint cytology to diagnose malignant lesions has not been arrived at in this study as the number of malignant cases was less (2%) in the present study.
of MAFLD. Analysis of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome types and frequency changes of CD 8+ and CD 25+ T cells in metabolic-related fatty liver disease

This study aimed to observe and analyze the changes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types and CD 8+ and CD 25+ T cell frequencies of metabolic-related fatty liver disease. For this purpose, 100 patients with metabolic-related fatty liver disease and their TCM syndrome types who were screened for medical treatment were collected. Flow cytometry was used to detect the changes in the frequency of CD 8+ and CD 25+ T cells in the peripheral blood of patients, as well as liver function, fasting blood glucose, and lipid index. The frequency differences of CD 8+ and CD 25+ T cells in patients with different syndrome types were compa - red. To use partial correlation analysis to determine the correlation between CD 8+ , CD 25+ T cell frequencies and TCM syndrome types in patients. Results showed that a total of 30 cases of liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome, 25 cases of phlegm turbidity internal obstruction syndrome, 20 cases of dampness heat stasis syndrome, and 25 cases of phlegm stasis mutual accumulation syndrome were included in the 100 MAFLD patients. There was statistical significance (P<0.01) in the comparison of ALT, AST, GGT, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, FPG, HOMA-IR, CD 8+ CD 25+ , CD 8+ CD 25, CD 8-CD 25+ , and CD 8-CD 25-among patients with different TCM syndrome types. There is a positive correlation between TCM syndrome types and patients' CD 8+ CD 25+ , CD 8+ CD 25, and CD 8-CD 25+ , while there is a negative correlation between them (P<0.05). From the chord diagram, the relationship between CD 8+ CD 25+ and TCM syndrome types is the closest. The ROC curve was used to analyze and determine that the relevant standard for CD 8+ CD 25+ in liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome is <4.90%; The relevant standard for phlegm turbidity internal obstruction syndrome is 4.90%~7.88%; Damp heat stasis syndrome is 7.88%~8.20%; The syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis accu - mulation is more than 8.20%. The TCM syndrome types of metabolic-related fatty liver disease will vary with the frequency of CD 8+ and CD 25+ T cells. In conclusion, TCM syndrome types are closely related to the severity of the patient's condition and immune function, providing a new perspective and means for understanding the pathogenesis of metabolic-related fatty liver disease and evaluating the condition.
