COLLECTIVE ACTION PERFORMED BY WEBBING BAMBOO CRAFTWOMEN AT KAYUBIHI VILLAGE, BALI, INDONESIA

This study aims to determine the system of managing shared resources, production activities, profit sharing agreements, behavior control systems, and social changes performed by webbing bamboo craftswomen at Kayubihi Village of Bangli regency, Bali Province. This research is qualitative research employing grounded research approach by applying gradual analysis using systematic approach from Strauss and Corbin. The research subjects were webbing bamboo craftswomen. The data collection procedures were done through observation and interview. Based on the data analysis, it was revealed that the system of managing shared resources is based on some considerations on the availability of raw materials, the relationship between the coordinator with the webbing bamboo craftswomen as well as trust and solidarity. Next, the production activities of making webbing bamboo are based on the considerations of cutting bamboo and making various webbing motifs. Third, the profit sharing agreement is based on the number of webbing that can be done by crafters as well as the the number of various types of webbing that are handed over to the crafter’s coordinator. Fourth, the behavioral control systems are based on unwritten rules, which are still obeyed by all crafters that are a norm that provides guidelines in the artisan’s life in the form of custom made by crafters in making webbing. The craftwomen have social changes experience when they do their profession, as webbing bamboo crafters is the importance of skills transfer, the existence of advocates of social life especially economic education in managing family finances and the crafter’s hope that the resulting products remain in demand by consumer for the purpose of business sustainability in the future.

Dynamic change of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in hospitalized children in a general hospital: a 3-year retrospective analysis

Background The epidemiology and economic burden of hospitalized community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) children due to MP is still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic changes of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children in a general hospital. Methods A total of 2011 CAP children aged 1–16 years hospitalized at Peking University Third Hospital from 2017 to 2019 were enrolled by cross-sectional study for the retrospective analysis of the clinical data mainly including seasonal distribution of MPP, hospital stay, severity, complications, use of flexible bronchoscopy, and hospitalization costs. The dynamic changes of CAP and MPP children within 3 consecutive years and the differences between the MPP group and non-MPP groups were compared. Results The proportion of CAP children among hospitalized children was 32.4%, 38.5%, and 39.5% in 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively, showing an upward trend (P<0.05). The prevalence rate of MPP was highest in the third quarter (30.2%) and the fourth quarter (39.2%) and lowest in the second quarter (13.2%) (χ2=51.8, P<0.05). Compared with the non-MPP group, the MPP group had significantly higher incidence of severe pneumonia (19.4% vs. 12.0%, χ2=20.99), incidence of complications (16.1% vs. 6.5%, χ2=48.24), proportion of patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy (38.4% vs. 9.0%, χ2=252.79), and hospitalization costs (all P<0.05), along with significantly longer hospital stay (6 vs. 4 days, z=−11.131). A dynamic comparison of the clinical characteristics of MPP in 3 years showed that the number of children with MPP increased significantly in preschoolers in 2018 (37.3%) and in school-aged or older children in 2019 (53%) (P<0.05). MPP peaks occurred in August 2018 and November 2019. The total hospitalization costs, examination fees, and non-medication treatment costs increased significantly (the z values were 35.24, 46.79, and 9.64, respectively; P<0.05) year by year among MPP children; there was no significant difference in the medication cost over these 3 years (z=4.81, P>0.05). Conclusions The proportions of severe pneumonia, complications, and use of flexible bronchoscopy as well as the hospitalization days and costs are higher in MPP children. General hospitals should develop integrated clinical quality control programs for MPP children, so as to optimize the allocation of medical resources.
Corporate reputation through strategic communication of corporate social responsibility

The purpose of this paper is to explore how the communication of corporate social responsibility (CSR) contributes towards a favourable corporate reputation. It explores the communication strategies and channels organisations deemed reputable by stakeholders use to achieve an effective CSR communication. ,To achieve this, a qualitative content analysis using the directed approach was conducted on the textual CSR communication materials of ten reputable organisations in South Africa based on the 2018 South Africa Reptrak survey. ,Result showed that seven out of ten organisations use both self-serving and society-serving motive in their CSR communication, while the other 3 use only the society serving motive. The informing strategy was also more evident in the CSR communication materials than the interactive strategy. In terms of the communication channels, the study found that organisations mainly utilise controlled channels for CSR communication. ,The literature reviewed and the findings of this study reveal a gap between the theory and practice of CSR communication. This drives the need for organisations to research and tailor CSR communication based on stakeholders' unique characteristics and preferences. The paper also contributes to improving the knowledge on the role different CSR communication strategies and channels play in CSR communication.
OPTIMIZATION AND MODELING IN LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION FORECASTING FUTURE TRENDS IN FREIGHT TRANSPORT IN SLOVENIA UNTIL THE YEAR 2030

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that climate change is a major ongoing process requiring strict restrictive actions on a global level. Also, other environmental challenges like “plasticification” of the world sea water is a huge and global thread, which should be mitigated. In every fields of human activities actions like recycling, zero CO2 production and responsible operations are expected. However, systems and functions in industries and public sectors have become extremely complicated, which are difficult to make emissions free. Also there are huge differences between countries how responsible production should be understood and organized. Logistics, transportation and supply chain processes in many industries are producing large amounts of emissions. Even if maritime logistics respond only fraction of total global CO2 emissions (round 2,6 %), locally, like in port areas, ships are producing heavily various polluting substances. In large process industries there are plenty of different activities, long and complicated supply chains, large volumes of chemical usage and some of them are not really environmentally friendly. To make this kind of manufacturing sectors and logistics chains responsible need a plenty of time series data (big data) for deeper analysis before making right correcting decisions from sustainable view. When making sustainable environmental investments these should be, when it is possible, scalable-type of solutions, which means that environmental improvements (output) grow much faster than the investment figures (input) grow. Also, when making for example maritime vessels environmentally good, there are plenty of usable options in different operational areas in ships. Together these solutions could make maritime sector to become even totally green and zeroemission. Without valid and reliable continuously collected data and internationally binding legislation responsible and zero-emission society is really difficult to achieve.
Past and Future Impacts of Climate Change on Wine Quality

Climate change has the potential to greatly impact nearly every form of agriculture. History has shown that the narrow climatic zones fo r gr wing grapes for high quality wines are especially prone to variations in climate and longterm climate change. This analysis has detailed climate changes from 1950 to 1999 for argu bly the world’s highest quality wineproducing regions showing that the majority of the regions experienced warming trends during their respective growing seasons at the same time t hat vintage ratings increased significantly while year-to-year variation declined. The results find that climate is a more important factor in vintage ratings in Europe, while many New World reg ions have seen significant advances in production technology or recognition in their vinta ge ratings that mask climatic variations. For some regions, an optimum temperature-vintage rating was modeled indicating that many regions are at or near their ideal climate. While the obser ved warming of the last fifty years appears to have mostly benefited the quality of wine grown wor ldwide, the average predicted regional warming of 2°C in the next 50 years (2000-2049) has numerous potential impacts including – changes in grapevine phenological timing, disruptio n of balanced composition in grapes and wine, alterations in varieties grown, alterations i regional wine styles, and spatial changes in viable grape growing regions.
Analysis of the HA Gene of the Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus in Taiwan and Epidemic Strains in Other Countries

The first outbreak of novel H1N1 influenza virus appeared in North America in April 2009. Until July 1, a total of 77, 201 cases have been reported in 103 countries in the world with mortality rate of 0.43%. Through the genetic sequence analysis of influenza A (H1N1) virus, it was a double reassortants with European swine flu virus and North American swine flu virus, so it was called swine flu initially. Later it was renamed as novel influenza A (H1N1). Until July 1, there have been 70 confirmed cases in Taiwan, with 4.3% positive rate. We selected 6 positive specimens for cell culture and compared the HA gene from virus isolates, the result revealed 99% similarity, which was similar to the published results in the world currently. Through phylogenetic analysis, the gene sequence of influenza A (H1N1) virus isolates in Taiwan could be categorized as the same group with the virus in New York, USA and Mainland China, but different from other strains in the world. Since the clinical symptoms of novel influenza A (H1N1) were quite similar to classical seasonal flu, only laboratory tests could distinguish the difference. Thus, for a suspected case, one can rely on effective and accurate identification of the case to achieve the goal of rapid prevention. In order to ascertain whether or not the virus isolated in Taiwan has mutated or changed antigenicity, and whether or not that may affect pathogenicity and transmissibility, further analyses with control antigens and antiserum are needed.
A PARTIAL FUNCTIONAL RESTORATION AFTER HALLUX VALGUS CORRECT SURGERY - A CONTROLLED PRELIMINARY STUDY

Introduction: Hallux valgus is the most common condition found in the foot, caused by a progressive failure of the first ray stabilization means. The hallux is deviated into valgus, the first metatarsal into varus, and their association leads to a subluxation of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the first ray. Surgery is a treatment frequently used to correct this condition. So, is the static postural balance altered after corrective surgery? Materials and Method: 23 subjects participated in the study, all women, divided into two groups: control and hallux valgus. The hallux valgus group was evaluated three months post-operatively. Bipodal tests were carried out on a stabilometry platform, one with eyes open and one with eyes closed. The pressure center parameters were recorded and analyzed, such as the length or the area of the pressure center. Results: The results obtained showed significant differences between the two groups and were statistically significant, with a p-value of 0,05. The pressure center values are higher in the hallux valgus group. Conclusion: Some results found in the literature agree with the results of the present study. There are significant deficits in the static postural balance three months after corrective surgery. Other studies with a larger sample may be performed to confirm or not the results of this study.
CREATING VIRTUAL FORCE PLATFORMS FOR CUTTING MANEUVERS FROM KINEMATIC DATA BASED ON LSTM NEURAL NETWORKS

The precise measurement of ground reaction forces and moments (GRF/M) usually requires stationary equipment and is, therefore, only partly feasible for field measurements. In this work we propose a method to derive GRF/M time series from motion capture marker trajectories for cutting maneuvers (CM) using a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. We used a dataset containing 637 CM motion files from 70 participants and trained two-layer LSTM neural networks to predict the GRF/M signals of two force platforms. A five-fold cross-validation resulted in correlation coefficients ranging from 0.870 to 0.977 and normalized root mean square errors from 3.51 to 9.99% between predicted and measured GRF/M. In future, this method can be used not only to simplify lab measurements but also to allow for determining biomechanical parameters during real-world situations.
WIT: Women in Topology

Women in Topology (Banff 2013) was the first workshop organized by our newly founded network WITHT (Women in Topology Homotopy Theory) as an effort to increase the number and visibility of active female researchers in homotopy theory, as well as the participation by women in research activities in the field. The main feature of the meeting was engagement in collaborative group projects for teams of 5-7 participants, each including senior and junior researchers, as well as students. In addition to the generous support of the Banff International Research Station, we would also like to thank the Clay Mathematics Institute’s Enhancement and Partnership program, which funded travel for our participants, and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Laussane for additional support.
Survival of microbial life under shock compression: implications for Panspermia

An analysis is carried out of the survival fraction of micro-organisms exposed to extreme shock pressures. A variety of data sources are used in this analysis. The key findings are that survival depends on the behaviour of the cell wall. Below a critical shock pressure there is a relatively slow fall in survival fraction as shock pressures increase. Above the critical threshold survival starts to fall rapidly as shock pressure increases further. The critical shock pressures found here are in the range 2.4 to 20 GPa, and vary not only from organism to organism, but also depend on the growth stage of given organisms, with starved (i.e., no growth) states favoured for survival. At the shock pressures typical of those involved in interplanetary transfer of rocky materials, the survival fractions are found to be small but finite. This lends credence to the idea of Panspermia, i.e. life may naturally migrate through space. Thus for example, Martian meteorites should not a prior be considered as sterile due to the shock processes they have undergone, but their lack of viable micro-organisms either reflects no such life being present at the source at the time of departure or the influence of other hazardous processes such as radiation in space or heating of surfaces during entry into a planetary atmosphere.
Seed arrival and persistence at the tidal mudflat: identifying key processes for pioneer seedling establishment in salt marshes

Salt marshes are highly valuable ecosystems that provide numerous important ecosystem services. Given the global marsh decline, there is a pressing need to understand the natural bottlenecks and thresholds to their establishment and long-term ecological maintenance. Seed presence in the right place and time is a prerequisite for pioneer establishment. We performed field surveys and manipulative seed-bank experiments on 2 mudflats with different levels of exposure in the Westerschelde, The Netherlands, to identify patterns of seed arrival and persistence and their role in determining seed bank abundance. Seed arrival decreased with distance from the seed-source area, i.e. the salt marsh, resulting in seeds being deposited on the mudflat close to the marsh edge. Once arrived, most of the surface seeds were washed away during subsequent tides, with retention of <20%. However, seed burial enhanced seed retention nonlinearly with increasing burial depth. Predation was not a major cause of seed loss. These results point to the importance of hydro dynamic and morphodynamic processes to both lateral seed dispersal and vertical seed burial on tidal flats and, therefore, suggest that saltmarsh establishment and expansion are closely linked to the physical dynamics of the entire estuarine system.
Efficiency of Kaolin and Activated Charcoal to Reduce the Toxicity of Low Level of Aflatoxin in Broilers

Kaolin and activated charcoal were incorporated at 0.5% in diet to evaluate their ability to reduce the deleterious effects of 30 ppb total aflatoxin (AF) in broiler chicken. A total of 320 one-day old broiler chicks were divided into 4 equal treatment groups (control, AF contaminated, AF plus kaolin and AF plus activated charcoal). Chicken fed on diet containing 30 ppb AF for 45 days showed a significant decrease in live body weight and body weight gain with 20% mortality rate. Adition of kaolin and activated charcoal to the AF contaminated diet at 0.5% level reduced the mortality rate and improved body weight gain and efficiency of feed utilization. Histopathologicaly, the livers of birds of all groups except the control one showed focal hepatic necrosis, biliary epithelial hyperplasia, and granulomas. Pathological changes were highest among AF treated group. No AF residue could be detected in liver, breast, thigh and heart muscles in all birds.
Effects of Shade on the Growth and Cropping of Apple Trees. III. Effects on Fruit Growth, Chemical Composition and Quality at Harvest and After Storage

SummaryCox’s Orange Pippin apple trees on M.26 rootstock were shaded so as to receive 37, 25 or 11% of full daylight during the post-blossom growing season in either or both of 1970 and 1971, and the growth, composition and quality of their fruits at harvest and after storage compared with those from control trees. In 1972 a separate experiment using Cox on M.9 involved shading to 34 or 13% of full daylight. Shading reduced fruit size, through reductions of cell size and the number of cells per fruit, fruit colour and the degree of skin cracking and russeting. Fruits grown under shade had less dry matter and starch per unit fresh weight and lower rates of ethylene and CO2 production per unit weight at harvest, but samples harvested at different dates showed no evidence of any marked shift in the onset of the respiration climacteric. The incidence of core flush and shrivelling in storage was increased by shading during the growing season. There was no evidence that the concentrations of N, P, K, Ca or Mg d.
A Multi-agent approach for $\textit{in silico}$ simulations of micro-biological systems

Using a Multi-agent systems paradigm, the present project develops, validates and exploits a computational $\textit{testbed}$ that simulates micro-biological complex systems, namely the aggregation patterns of the social amoeba $\textit{Dyctiostelium discoideum}$. We propose a new design and implementation for managing discrete simulations with autonomous agents on a microscopic scale, thus focusing on their social behavior and mutual interactions. Then, the dependence on the main physical variables is tested, namely density and number of amoebas; in addition, we analyze the robustness of the dynamics against various noise sources. Along with these results, we suggest a methodology for further studies that make use of our validated model.
Magnetic Nanoparticles for Biomedical Purposes: Modern Trends and Prospects

The presented paper is a review article discussing existing synthesis methods and different applications of nanosized magnetic nanoparticles. It was shown that, in addition to the spectrum of properties typical for nanomaterials (primarily a large specific surface area and a high fraction of surface atoms), magnetic nanoparticles also possess superparamagnetic properties that contribute to their formation of an important class of biomedical functional nanomaterials. This primarily concerns iron oxides magnetite and maghemite, for which in vitro and in vivo studies have shown low toxicity and high biocompatibility in comparison with other magnetic nanomaterials. Due to their exceptional chemical, biological, and physical properties, they are widely used in various areas, such as magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, magnetic separation of biological objects (cells, bacteria, viruses, DNA, and proteins), and magnetic diagnostics (they are used as agents for MRS and immunoassay). In addition to discussing the main problems and prospects of using nanoparticles of magnetic iron oxides for advanced biomedical applications, information is also reflected on their structure, production methods, and properties.
Analysis of divergence in some cold-tolerant rices

Genetic divergence of ninety-four rice genotypes, comprising 74 F1s and 20 parents, grown over three cold stress environments, was assessed based on five reproductive stage cold tolerance and adaptability related characters. Using D2 statistic and canonical analyses, the genotypes were grouped into 18 clusters. The clustering pattern suggested that genetic and geographic diversity were not necessarily related. Plant height, days to flowering, fertile spikelets/panicle and percent fertility were indicated as important contributors to genetic divergence in cold tolerant rices. Traditional japonica varieties and their japonica x indica hybrids were distinctly apart from the indica varieties and indica X indica hybrids in the analyses. The divergence of japonica cultivars K332 and Sarkat, and the indica X indica hybrids of Silewah was substantial from both the indica and japonica stocks, suggesting their use in breeding.
