A Comparative Analysis of High-Speed Rail Station Development into Destination and Multi-Use Facilities: The Case of San Jose Diridon

As the scholarly literature and the experience on the ground indicate, good station-area planning is an important prerequisite for the successful operation of a high-speed rail (HSR) station; it can also trigger opportunities for economic development in the station area and station-city. What is less clear, however, is what constitutes good station-area planning. This study details the elements of good station-area planning for HSR stations, the challenges and opportunities for good station-area planning around the San Jose Diridon station, and the lessons learned from five case studies of successful European HSR stations.
Upper Extremity Kinematics and Electromyographic Activity in Uninjured Tennis Players

There has been an increase in ulnar-sided wrist pain among tennis players. The purpose of this study was to establish a normative dataset of kinematic and electromyography (EMG) data during the forehand and two-handed backhand groundstrokes. In total, 20 adolescent United States Tennis Association (USTA) ranked tennis players (11/20 Male, Age = 15.0 ± 1.8 years, Height = 1.7 ± 1.1 m, BMI = 21.3 ± 3.4 kg/m2, 18/20 right-arm dominant) participated in this study. Kinematics (range of motion and angular velocity) and EMG data were simultaneously acquired during the forehand and two-handed backhand groundstrokes. Minimal differences were found between groupings of age, sex, and USTA ranking. The two-handed backhand groundstroke is characterized by bilaterally flexed elbows and ulnarly deviated wrists, with a flexed wrist and pronated forearm on the non-dominant side and an extended wrist and supinated forearm on the dominant side. EMG activation occurs bilaterally by peak backswing. The forehand groundstroke is characterized by a flexed elbow, pronated forearm, and ulnarly deviated and extended wrist. The wrist is at maximum ulnar deviation at ball impact. This study established an initial foundation for normative data for the forehand and two-handed backhand groundstrokes, which can be used for injury detection, rehabilitation, prevention, and ultimately performance improvement of tennis athletes.
The Cardiovascular-Mortality-Based Estimate for Normal Range of the Ankle–Brachial Index (ABI)

Background: The ankle–brachial index (ABI) is a first-line examination in cardiovascular risk evaluation. Since cut-off values for normal ABI vary, the aim of the present study was to identify the cardiovascular-mortality-based estimate for the normal range of the ABI. After determining the reference range for the ABI, the corresponding toe–brachial index (TBI) and toe pressure for normal ABI were analyzed. Methods: All consecutive non-invasive pressure measurements in the vascular laboratory of a large university hospital 2011–2013 inclusive were collected and combined with patient characteristics and official dates and causes of death. Patients with an ABI range of 0.8–1.4 on both lower limbs were included in this study. Results: From 2751 patients, 868 had bilateral ABI values within the inclusion. Both ABI category ranges 0.80–0.89 and 0.90–0.99 had poorer survival compared to ABI categories 1.00–1.29 (p < 0.05). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year cardiovascular-death-free survival for respective ABI categories 0.80–0.99 vs. 1.00–1.29 were 90% vs. 96%, 84% vs. 92%, and 60% vs. 87%. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival for ABI categories 0.80–0.99 vs. 1.00–1.29 were 85% vs. 92%, 75% vs. 83%, and 42% vs. 74%. Conclusions: Borderline ABI (0.90–0.99) associates with higher overall and cardiovascular mortality compared to ABI values 1.00–1.29.
Bias Adjustment of Four Satellite-Based Rainfall Products Using Ground-Based Measurements over Sudan

Satellite-based rainfall estimates (SREs) represent a promising alternative dataset for climate and hydrological studies, where gauge observations are insufficient. However, these datasets are accompanied by significant uncertainties. Therefore, this study aims to minimize the systematic bias of Artificial Neural Networks–Cloud Classification System (PERSIANN-CCS), Artificial Neural Networks-Climate Data Record (PERSIANN-CDR), Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS), and Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) rainfall estimates using a quantile mapping (QM) method with climatic zones (CZs). The adjusted rainfall estimates were evaluated for the period from 2003–2017; data from 2003 to 2016 were used for calibration, and data from 2017 were used for validation. The results revealed significant improvements for the adjusted PERSIANN-CCS, PERSIANN-CDR, CHIRPS, and GPCP monthly time series in terms of all statistical measures and evaluation of overall CZs. In terms of Root Mean Square Errors (RMSEs), the adjusted CHIRPS did not show an improvement. This method successfully removed the mean bias of the daily time series for all SREs. The findings suggest that this method can be applied to correct the systematic bias of all SREs in the monthly time series in the future without the need for further gauge measurements over Sudan.
Finite-Time Analysis of Markov Gradient Descent

Motivated by its broad applications in system identifications, stochastic control, and machine learning, we study the popular stochastic gradient descent (SGD) when the gradient samples of the underlying objective function are generated from Markov processes. This Markov sampling leads to the gradient samples being biased and not independent. The existing results for the convergence of SGD under Markov settings are often established under the assumption on the boundedness of either the iterates or the gradient samples. This assumption can be guaranteed through an impractical projection step to a compact set often defined over the unknown optimal solution of the underlying problem. In this article, we show that this projection step is unnecessary in many settings. In particular, we study the convergence of SGD under Markov samples without requiring any projection step for different objective functions, ranging from strongly convex to nonconvex objectives satisfying Polyak–Łojasiewicz conditions. We show that SGD converges nearly at the same rate with Markovian gradient samples as with independent gradient samples. The only difference is a logarithmic factor that accounts for the mixing time of the Markov process. Finally, we provide numerical experiments in robust identification problems to illustrate our theoretical results, where we consider SGD with samples generated by a Markov process.
HTKG: Deep Keyphrase Generation with Neural Hierarchical Topic Guidance

Keyphrases can concisely describe the high-level topics discussed in a document that usually possesses hierarchical topic structures. Thus, it is crucial to understand the hierarchical topic structures and employ it to guide the keyphrase identification. However, integrating the hierarchical topic information into a deep keyphrase generation model is unexplored. In this paper, we focus on how to effectively exploit the hierarchical topic to improve the keyphrase generation performance (HTKG). Specifically, we propose a novel hierarchical topic-guided variational neural sequence generation method for keyphrase generation, which consists of two major modules: a neural hierarchical topic model that learns the latent topic tree across the whole corpus of documents, and a variational neural keyphrase generation model to generate keyphrases under hierarchical topic guidance. Finally, these two modules are jointly trained to help them learn complementary information from each other. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to leverage the neural hierarchical topic to guide keyphrase generation. The experimental results demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods across five benchmark datasets.
Heterosis and inbreeding depression in okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)

Three generations i.e. Parents, F 1 , and F 2 , of twenty one crosses (Progeny) were used to estimate heterosis and inbreeding depression for growth, yield and yield contributing traits in okra. In general, twenty one crosses showed a wide range of heterotic effects for yield and yields related characters showing the importance of both additive and non-additive genes. VRO-6 × Pusa Sawni showed significant heterobeltiosis for almost all the no of fruit yield / Plant and its contributing traits particularly, VRO-3 x Arka Anamika for seed yield / plant (g) and no of seed / fruit. High heterotic cross combinations for different characters showed high inbreeding depression in the F 2 generation ranged from 50% flowering (- 9.72) to no of fruit / plant (-12.03) in cross VRO-3 x Arka Anamika, This may be due to most part of heterobeltiosis accounted for dominance and dominance × dominance type of epistatic interactions and less for additive × dominance type of gene effect. These findings useful for the improvement of no of fruit / plant and its seed yield / plant while handling the segregating generation for the development of improved varieties in
Intercultural Sensitivity and Job Satisfaction of Nurses and Midwives

Background: There are various reasons, for example, migration, that lead different cultures to live together and interact with each other. Revealing the relationship between and the factors affecting intercultural sensitivity and job satisfaction is thus a requirement for improving the quality of care. Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting and the relationship between intercultural sensitivity and job satisfaction of nurses and midwives. Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study was conducted between January 2019-May 2019 on 247 nurses and midwives working at a state hospital in Turkey for at least one year. Results: It was found in the study that the total intercultural sensitivity score of nurses and midwives is 81.40±10.96 and their general satisfaction score is mean 3.27 ( SD 0.69) and it’s medium-level. A positive significant relationship was identified between nurses' and midwives' intercultural sensitivity and job satisfaction. It was identified that women, and midwives and nurses over 51 years old have a higher cultural sensitivity, and midwives and nurses over 51 years old and those working in the general surgery service have higher level of job satisfaction. Conclusion: Examination of the relationship between nurses' and midwives intercultural sensitivity and job satisfaction revealed that their job satisfaction improved as their intercultural sensitivity increased. Language problems the nurses and midwives had with patients adversely affected their intercultural sensitivity, and, therefore, their job satisfaction. Identification of the factors affecting their intercultural sensitivity and job satisfaction will guide the adjustments required in the fields of education and practice.
Pre-Pregnancy Fear of Childbirth in Turkish Nursing Students: How Does the Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing Lesson Affect this Fear?

Background : Fear of childbirth is associated with many negative consequences during delivery and the postpartum period, especially regarding maternal and infant health. It is important to identify the fear of childbirth in nursing students before they become health professionals. Aim : This study aimed to examine the effect of an obstetrics and gynecology nursing lesson on the pre-pregnancy fear of childbirth (FOC) in nursing students. Methodology : This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with 332 undergraduate nursing students. The study data was collected using, a ''Student Information Form'', and the the Turkish version of the Childbirth Fear - Prior to Pregnancy Scale (WCF-PPS/MCF-PPS). Results : The mean total WCF-PPS score of the female students included in the study was 41.63±9.49 and the mean total MCF-PPS total score of the male students was 37.17±8.99. There was no significant difference between the total WCF-PPS and MCF-PPS scores of students who took or did not take obstetrics and gynecology nursing lesson (p=0.696; p=0.133, respectively). However, the total WCF -PPS score was significantly higher (44.59±8.47) in female students who had difficulty during the clinical practice phase of obstetrics and gynecology nursing lesson (p=0.016). Conclusions : Turkish nursing students had an above-average fear of childbirth. Negative experiences during the clinical practice could be triggered the fear of childbirthConsidering these results, interventions that provide emotional support and promote collaborative clinical practices should be planned and students should be supported in the clinical environment.
Review on RS Technologies for Seagrass Mapping in Tropical Region

Seagrass ecosystems can be mapped using RS because this technique is versatile and accurate. The availability of seagrass information is very important for the sustainable management of seagrass ecosystems. The use of RS technology to map seagrass has become the focus of many researches worldwide by using various types of platforms, sensors and various algorithms for satellite imagery processing. In literature, there have been many review papers related to seagrass, however, a comprehensive review on various aspects of seagrass is limited. The objective of this review paper was to fill the gap by highlighting the existing RS technology, seagrass biophysical property and image processing analysis. Review results indicated that RS technology is a powerful tool for accelerating seagrass mapping and for monitoring the condition of seagrass ecosystems at regional scale due to the availability of long-archived RS data and their free-access. In literature, the empirical approaches still dominated seagrass mapping methodology compared to the semi-analytic and analytic approaches. A clear conclusion from this review is that the development in sensor technology and data processing algorithm is still ongoing and has driven RS capabilities to map seagrass more rapidly, accurately and less expensive. Future research on seagrass mapping could be focused on a more automated classification by applying machine-learning to handle a large amount of data to improve accuracy and to discover robust methods for image pre-processing that is suitable for tropical shallow waters such as those in Indonesia.

Comparison of Pressure and Volume-Controlled Mechanical Ventilation in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: A Randomized Crossover Trial

Background The number of patients with obesity undergoing various surgeries is increasing annually, and ventilation problems are highly prevalent in these patients. Objectives We aimed to evaluate ventilation effectiveness with pressure-controlled (PC) and volume-controlled (VC) ventilation modes during laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Methods In this open-label randomized crossover clinical trial, 40 adult patients with morbid obesity candidates for laparoscopic bariatric surgery were assigned to VC-PC or PC-VC groups. Each patient received both ventilation modes sequentially for 15 min during laparoscopic surgery in a random sequence. Every 5 min, exhaled tidal volume, peak and mean airway pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and end-tidal CO2 were recorded. Blood gas analysis was done at the end of 15 min. Dynamic compliance, PaO2/FiO2 ratio, P (A-a) O2 gradient, respiratory dead space, and PaCO2-ETCO2 gradient were calculated according to the obtained results. Results The study included 40 patients with a mean age of 35.13 ± 9.06 years. There were no significant differences in peak and mean airway pressure, dynamic compliance, and hemodynamic parameters (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two ventilation modes in pH, PaCO2, PaO2, PaO2/FIO2, dead space volume, and D (A-a) O2 at different time intervals (P > 0.05). Conclusions If low tidal volumes are used during adult laparoscopic bariatric surgery, mechanical ventilation with PC mode is not superior to VC mode.
Resilience, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Attitudes toward Menopause among Middle-Aged Women

– This study explored the resilience, healthrelated quality of life, and attitudes toward menopause of middle-aged adults; compared the resilience, healthrelated quality of life, and attitudes toward menopause of these adults when grouped according to stage of menopause, civil status, educational attainment, and employment status; found if there is a significant relationship between the resilience, health-related quality of life, and attitudes of the respondents, and proposed a psychological intervention based on the results of the study. Mixed method of research was employed with sequential explanatory design as model using standardized tests and interview guide as main tools in gathering the quantitative and qualitative data involving 300 middle-aged menopausal women. Results have shown that the respondents have low level of resilience, high in their level of energy/fatigue and low in the physical functioning and role limitations due to emotional problems. Their attitude towards menopause was found to be average and resilience did not have any significant relationship to all the profile variables. However, there were a number of health-related quality of life form scales that were linked to the profile variables. Attitudes toward menopause of the respondents were found to be significant to civil status. The authors recommended that the proposed intervention program be evaluated by guidance counselors and psychologists before its implementation.
896 Causes and effects of road traffic accidents in Poland

Background Every year, several thousand people are killed on Polish roads and tens of thousands get injured. In Poland, road accidents are the first cause of death in case of men up to 44 years of age. The most common, permanently occurring causes of road accidents include failure to comply with the rules of the road traffic, low driving skills combined with a poor assessment of the situation on the road, lack of adequate road infrastructure as well as poor technical conditions of vehicles. The article presents the epidemiology of road accidents in Poland in the years 2004–2014 focusing on the main problems of road safety. Methods The analysis was based on the reports of Prevention and Analysis Office of Road Traffic Headquarters of Police from the years 2004 to 2014 as well as the information included in National Road Safety Programme– GAMBIT 2005, National Road Safety Programme 2013 to 2020 and Strategy for Efficient State in 2020. Results The analysis enumerates as the main cause for the higher rate of severe accidents in Poland: inappropriately adjusted speed by a driver to traffic conditions, careless pedestrian entrance on the road in front of a moving vehicle, the state of intoxication in case of both drivers and pedestrians, poor technical state of vehicles prevailing on Polish roads, bad roads and the lack of modern infrastructure relevant to the current consumer needs, large collisions in traffic resulting from the improper design of roads, often careless organisation, and the lack of traffic segregation, lack of the knowledge of first aid among road users, ineffective emergency rescue systems on roads. Conclusions Despite various measures that are being taken to improve safety on Polish roads, the number of the dead and wounded as a result of road accidents is still very high and the losses incurred by the society are high as well. It is necessary to continue multidirectional actions to improve safety on the roads in Poland, resulting in a systematic increase in the level of road traffic security.
