In Thailand, the leading retailers are using distribution center to improve their supply chain performance. One department store is used to be a case study company for this research. The current issue is the limited space and unskilled labors working in distribution center. To support the business growth, the case study company is looking for the improvement of physical flow and information flow. This research aims to identify wastes in retail supply chain using IDEF (Integration Definition Function Modeling). Once wastes are identified, they will be reduced through ECRS principles including Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange and Simplify. The result is used as an input to develop ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice) to improve the information flow from upstream of retail supply chain.
On relative pure cyclic fields with power integral bases

Let L = K ( α ) be an extension of a number ﬁeld K , where α satisﬁes the monic irreducible polynomial P ( X ) = X p − β of prime degree belonging to o K [ X ] ( o K is the ring of integers of K ). The purpose of this paper is to study the monogenity of L over K by a simple and practical version of Dedekind’s criterion characterizing the existence of power integral bases over an arbitrary Dedekind ring by using the Gauss valuation and the index ideal. As an illustration, we determine an integral basis of a pure nonic ﬁeld L with a pure cubic subﬁeld, which is not necessarily a composite extension of two cubic subﬁelds. We obtain a slightly simpler computation of the discriminant d L/ Q .
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine: A Brief Review of the Hands-On Treatment Approaches and Their Therapeutic Uses

Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is an emerging practice in the healthcare field with increasing popularity and evidence-based therapy. Osteopathic manipulative treatments (OMT) include hands-on manipulations of different body structures to increase systemic homeostasis and total patient well-being. Indeed, this new realm of the whole patient-based approach is being taught in osteopathic schools around the country, and the osteopathic principles of a mind-body-spirit-based treatment are being instilled in many new Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) students. However, despite their proven therapeutic value, there are still many individuals, both in and outside the medical profession, who are unaware (or misinformed) of the therapeutic uses and potential benefits of OMT. Here, we provide a brief introduction to this osteopathic therapeutic approach, focusing on the hands-on techniques that are regularly implemented in the clinical setting. It is becoming increasingly evident that different OMTs can be implemented to enhance patient recovery, both alone and in conjunction with the targeted therapies used in allopathic regimens. Therefore, it may be beneficial to inform the general medical community and educate the public and those associated with the healthcare field about the benefits of using OMT as a treatment modality. OMT is lower-cost, noninvasive, and highly effective in promoting full-body healing by targeting the nervous, lymphatic, immune, and vascular systems. There is a growing body of literature related to osteopathic research and the possible molecular pathways involved in the healing process, and this burgeoning field of medicine is expected to increase in value in the healthcare field. This brief review article explains the frequently utilized OMT modalities and their recognized therapeutic benefits, which underscore the need to understand the possible molecular mechanisms and circulating biomarkers linked to the systemic benefits of osteopathic medicine.
Measurements and simulations of microtubule growth imply strong longitudinal 3 interactions and reveal a role for GDP on the elongating end 4

: 19 20 Microtubule polymerization dynamics result from the biochemical interactions of αβ-tubulin 21 with the polymer end, but a quantitative understanding has been challenging to establish. We 22 used interference reflection microscopy to make improved measurements of microtubule growth 23 rates and growth fluctuations in the presence and absence of GTP hydrolysis. In the absence of 24 GTP hydrolysis, microtubules grew steadily with very low fluctuations. These data were best 25 described by a computational model implementing slow assembly kinetics, such that the rate of 26 microtubule elongation is primarily limited by the rate of αβ-tubulin associations. With GTPase 27 present, microtubules displayed substantially larger growth fluctuations than expected based on 28 the no GTPase measurements. Our modeling showed that these larger fluctuations occurred 29 because exposure of GDP-tubulin on the microtubule end transiently ‘poisoned’ growth, yielding 30 a wider range of growth rates compared to GTP only conditions. Our experiments and modeling 31 point to slow association kinetics (strong longitudinal interactions), such that drugs and 32 regulatory proteins that alter microtubule dynamics could do so by modulating either the 33 association or dissociation rate of tubulin from the microtubule tip. By causing slower growth, 34 exposure of GDP tubulin at the growing microtubule end may be an important early event determining catastrophe.
A Case Report of Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant with Exudative Retinal Detachment for Ocular Toxocariasis Treatment

Toxocariasis is one of the most common geohelminth infections in several parts of the world. We describe a rare case of ocular toxocariasis with secondary exudative retinal detachment treated with albendazole and an intravitreal dexamethasone implant. A 13-year-old boy with counting finger vision was diagnosed with retinal vasculitis and exudative retinal detachment in his right eye. Fundoscopic examination revealed retinal hemorrhage, retinal vasculitis, and exudative retinal detachment. Serological test using serum and intraocular aqueous humor were positive for anti-Toxocara specific IgG antibodies. He received repeated doses of intravitreal dexamethasone implants combined with oral albendazole. A sequential follow-up optical coherence tomography revealed that the retina was successfully reattached. His visual acuity subsequently improved to 20/400.
Participation in sociolinguistic research

Involving speakers in research on their linguistic practices has been at the core of sociolinguistics since the incep-tion of the field. In contrast to social sciences, however, sociolinguists have rarely addressed the issues surround-ing the participation of those involved and engaged in the research process. This paper aims at reviewing the state of the art and outlining critical dimensions and aspects with relation to participation. We explore previous studies and study designs with the help of the following questions: Who has been involved? How and with what impact have stakeholders participated in different strands of sociolinguistic research? Current developments are presented and reviewed with particular reference to language expertise of those outside academia, as manifested in everyday talk about language, and the link between the production of this knowledge and social inequalities. We point out that the interconnectedness of everyday language expertise
Severe Anemia and Six-Month All-Cause Mortality in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Anemia is often found in patients with Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD). Anemia can affect poor outcomes in hemodialysis patients. However, no publications examined the role of severe anemia as a predictor factor in six-month all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, further study was needed to answer these questions. This study aimed to determine the role of severe anemia and six-month all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients. The cohort design study was carried out from October 2019 to March 2020 at the Hemodialysis Unit of Roemani Muhammadiyah Hospital Semarang. The dependent variable was severe anemia, defined as hemoglobin levels <8.0 g/dL. The mortality rate was investigated over six months after the baseline measurements. Among 85 respondents, 35 (41.2%) respondents were categorized into severe anemia, and 50 (58.8%) respondents were categorized into non-severe anemia groups. The respondents consisted of 54 (63.5%) males and 31 (36.5%) females. The hemoglobin level in the severe and non-severe anemia groups was 7.2 ± 0.6 and 9.5 ± 1.2 (mean ± standard deviation). The Kaplan Meier survival curve showed that the non-severe anemia group had a higher survival rate than the severe anemia group (98.0% vs. 82.9%, p = 0.011). The Cox regression analysis found a significant relationship between anemia severity and 6-month all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients (p = 0.027; Hazard ratio: 9.3). Severe anemia plays a role as a predictor factor in six-month all-cause mortality among hemodialysis patients.
Point prevalence of non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers in Australian surfers and swimmers in Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales

Background Surfing and swimming are two popular outdoor aquatic activities in Australia with an estimated 2.7 million surfers and three million swimmers; however, these activities are associated with intermittent exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Our aim was to determine the point prevalence of pre-skin cancer (actinic keratosis (PSC)), non-melanoma (NMSC) and melanoma skin cancers (MSC) in Australian surfers and swimmers. Methods This cross-sectional study involved Australian surfers who completed a survey that included physiological demographics, aquatic activity-specific demographics, history of skin cancer followed by screening. Results A total of 171 surfers (n = 116) and swimmers (n = 55) participated in the study. Both groups were identified as having a history of skin cancer (surfers 41.4%, swimmers 36.4%) and a family history of skin cancer (surfers 52.6%, swimmers 43.6%). The majority of both groups reported using a high percentage of a chemical or physical skin cancer prevention strategy (surfers 100%, Swimmers 92.7%, P = 0.003). Significantly more surfers were identified with a skin cancer of any type vs. swimmers (50% vs. 27.3%; OR 2.67; P = 0.005) with most the common skin cancer being PSC (44.7% vs. 11.3%, P = 0.076) followed by basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (24.2% vs. 7.6%, P = 0.068). There was a total of seven MSC identified in surfers and swimmers (4.6% vs. 0.8%, respectively, P = 0.137). Most skin cancers in surfers were located on the face (28.0%) followed by the arm and back (12.1% each), whereas in swimmers, the majority of skin cancers were identified on the face (17.3%), followed by the arm and lower leg (15.4% each). The highest number of melanomas were identified in surfers (n = 6) and mainly located on the face (n = 2) and back (n = 2). There was a single melanoma identified on the back in a swimmer. With the groups combined, the majority (42.9%) of melanomas were identified on the back in participants, followed by the face (28.6%). Rates per 100,000 of NMSC and MSC in surfers and swimmers (respectively) were BCC (11,206 vs. 14,545), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ (13,793 vs. 12,727), SCC (1,724 vs. 3,636) and MSC (5,172 vs. 1,818). When compared to the general Australian population, surfers and swimmers had higher odds ratios (OR), which included BCCs (OR 7.3 and 9.4, respectively), SCCs (OR 1.7 and 3.5, respectively) and MSC (OR 96.7 and 18.8, respectively). Conclusion Surfers and swimmers had consistently higher rates of PSC, NMSC and MSC than the general Australian population. Point prevalence of MSC (groups combined) was 76-fold higher than the general Australian population. These findings highlight the clinical importance of regular skin cancer screenings in individuals who surf or swim for early detection and treatment of skin cancer. Additionally, these aquatic enthusiasts should be advised of the benefits of sun protection strategies such as chemical and physical barriers to reduce the likelihood of developing skin cancer.
Perception and Prevention Practices Relating to Covid 19 Infection Among Elderly in Ogun State, Nigeria

The risk of contracting COVID-19 and becoming seriously ill increases with age. This study assessed perception and prevention practices relating to COVID 19 infection among the elderly in Ogun State. This study adopted a survey design. One hundred and seventy-five participants were selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The majority 142(81.9%) of the participants perceived themselves to be susceptible to COVID-19 infection, with 25(14.3%) perceiving it to be a serious disease. Less than a quarter 40(22.9) of the participants perceived COVID 19 prevention to be highly beneficial while most 115(65.7%) of the participants reported that their levels of barriers to prevention of COVID-19 were high. More than half of 95(54.3%) of the participants had low preventive practices for COVID-19. Participants’ perceived susceptibility to COVID 19 was negatively correlated with their prevention practices (r = -0.15; p = 0.04). In conclusion, the participants had a poor perception of COVID 19 infection and low prevention practices. It is recommended that COVID-19 awareness campaigns should focus on raising more awareness of the risks associated with the COVID 19 infection to make the elderly engage more in preventive behaviours.
Theoretical Models and Preliminary Results for Contact Tracing and Isolation

Efficient contact tracing and isolation is an effective strategy to control epidemics, as seen in the Ebola epidemic and COVID-19 pandemic. An important consideration in contact tracing is the budget on the number of individuals asked to quarantine-the budget is limited for socioeconomic reasons (e.g., having a limited number of contact tracers). Here, we present a Markov Decision Process (MDP) framework to formulate the problem of using contact tracing to reduce the size of an outbreak while limiting the number of people quarantined. We formulate each step of the MDP as a combinatorial problem, MinExposed, which we demonstrate is NP-Hard. Next, we develop two approximation algorithms, one based on rounding the solutions of a linear program and another (greedy algorithm) based on choosing nodes with a high (weighted) degree. A key feature of the greedy algorithm is that it does not need complete information of the underlying social contact network, making it implementable in practice. Using simulations over realistic networks, we show how the algorithms can help in bending the epidemic curve with a limited number of isolated individuals. © 2022 International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (www.ifaamas.org).

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY Twin-Row Production of Cotton Genotypes Varying in Leaf Shape

Twin-row planting for soybean and maize has proliferated in Mid-South production systems during the past decade. Knowledge of cotton production with twin-row planting is limited. The objective of this research was to determine how cotton leaf-type isolines (varying in size and the degree of lobing) performed in both twin-row and single-row planting patterns. Field studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012. Four genotypes (MD 65-11 normal, MD 6511 okra, MD 65-11 super okra, and ST 4554B2RF) were grown in both twin-row and single-row planting patterns. Dry matter partitioning, leaf area index, light interception, nodes above white bloom, lint yield, and fiber quality data were collected. The response to twin-row planting when compared to single-row planting was consistent across all the cotton genotypes evaluated in this study. Twinrow canopies produced a greater early season leaf area index that intercepted more sunlight than the single-row pattern, but these differences diminished as the season progressed. Twin-row plots reached cutout approximately two days earlier than the single-row plots. Despite increased early season leaf area production and sunlight interception, no differences between planting patterns were detected for lint yield, the yield components, or fiber quality traits. Convenience of using a standard planting configuration across multiple crops may be the only justification for twin-row planting in cotton because neither lint yield nor fiber quality were impacted.
Association between Dysphagia and Frailty in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background: Increasing bodies of epidemiological evidence indicate potential associations between dysphagia and the risk of frailty in older adults. We hypothesized that older adults with symptoms of dysphagia might have a higher prevalence of frailty or prefrailty than those without dysphagia. Methods: We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant studies published through 20 April 2022. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies that examined the associations between dysphagia and the existence of frailty or prefrailty in community-dwelling, facility-dwelling, or hospitalized adults aged 50 years or older were synthesized. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate study quality. Results: The meta-analysis comprised 12 cohorts, including 5,503,543 non-frailty participants and 735,303 cases of frailty or prefrailty. Random-effect meta-analysis demonstrated a significant association between dysphagia and the risk of frailty and prefrailty (OR, 3.24; 95% CI, 2.51–4.20). In addition, we observed consistent results across the subgroups and heterogeneity assessments. Conclusions: We propose including dysphagia assessment as a critical factor in the cumulative deficit model for identifying frailty in older adults. Understanding dysphagia and the potential role of nutritional supplements in older adults may lead to improved strategies for preventing, delaying, or mitigating frailty.
Towards a Core Set of Landscape Metrics of Urban Land Use in Wuhan, China

In this study, we investigate the urban landscape patterns in Wuhan, China based on the land use data in the vector format. Using the approach of landscape metric analysis, we calculate forty-four vector-based landscape metrics and then reduce redundant ones through a combination of Spearman correlation analysis and factor analysis, in order to extract a core set of characterizing landscape metrics. We find that the urban landscape can be depicted by six factors including the overall shape and diversity, mean proximity, overall area variation, fragmentation variation, elongation variation, and mean shape complexity. After analyzing typical patterns indicated by the core metrics and the spatial distribution of land use patterns, we compare our findings with other studies and discuss how the core metrics coincide and differ.
Numerical and Experimental Studies of Mechanical Performance and Structural Enhancement of Industrial Building SSMRs

In response to the increasing demands of high-technology industrial buildings, renovated standing seam metal roofs (SSMRs) are widely used in the construction of such buildings due to their superior performance regarding heat insulation and waterproofing. However, studies to identify realistic mechanical performance and structural defects in newly applied SSMRs are still limited due to their recent development. In our previous full-scale experiment, the ultimate failure of the roof under wind pressure corresponded to mid-clip failure rather than end clip failure and seam separation; therefore, in this study, the lab-scale experimental programs mainly focused on the mid-clip and the metal roof sheet. Here, the plastic saddle type of the SSMR was chosen as the lab-scale experiment specimen under various loading speeds and angled plastic saddle conditions. The JC material properties were calibrated against experimental results and simulated to predict the dynamic failure response of SSMRs. An additional experimental study was conducted to identify the effect of strengthening SSMRs with wind clips, which showed that 20.77% of the peak load was enhanced after reinforcing the SSMR with wind clips. On the basis of this result, the failure wind speed was computed according to ASCE 7–10 standards with the assumption of a wind clip installed on the corner and edge of the roof panel, indicating that the failure wind speed increased with the wind clip by about 6 to 7 m/s. The current research results suggest a methodology for enhancing the structural performance of renovated industrial building SSMRs.
Crystallographic dependence of the spin Hall angle in epitaxial Pt films: Comparison of optical and electrical detection of spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance techniques

The spin Hall effect appears in nature in two forms. Its intrinsic form is highly dependent on the crystal symmetry while its extrinsic form stems from impurity scattering. Its efficiency is defined by the spin Hall angle, [Formula: see text], and has profound impact on spintronic technologies. However, an accurate measurement of [Formula: see text] is not straightforward nor the identification of its origin. In this work, we apply a spin-torque driven ferromagnetic resonance method that is probed in two different ways, optically and electrically, to study the dependence of [Formula: see text] in the crystallographic direction in epitaxial Al2O3/Pt (111), MgO(110)/Pt (110), and MgO(001)/Pt (001) films. We show that the electrical technique is limited in its ability to accurately quantify [Formula: see text] at high current densities, and in some cases, it may even result in erroneous [Formula: see text] values. Such cases include films that exhibit a large inhomogeneous broadening. We find that [Formula: see text] is strongly affected by the crystallographic direction. Our study extends the understanding of one of the most commonly used methods for the exploration of the spin Hall effect.
