Male and Female Tortricid Moth Response to Non-Pheromonal Semiochemicals

Simple Summary In eastern North America, apple production faces threats from various moth species, particularly the codling moth (CM), Oriental fruit moth (OFM), redbanded leafroller (RBLR), obliquebanded leafroller (OBLR), and three-lined leafroller (TLLR) in the Tortricidae family. A study in Massachusetts orchards over two years examined the response of these moths to different lures, including commercial ones like Megalure. The results revealed Megalure’s attractiveness to both sexes of the OFM and CM. The addition of benzaldehyde enhanced the capture of male OFMs, suggesting its potential to improve commercial lures with aromatic compounds. Abstract In eastern North America, apple orchards are often attacked by several species of tortricid moths (Lepidoptera), including Cydia pomonella, Grapholita molesta, Argyrotaenia velutinana, and Pandemis limitata. Sex pheromones are routinely used to monitor male moth populations. Adding plant volatiles to monitoring traps could increase the capture of moths of both sexes and improve the effectiveness of mating disruption systems. This study sought to quantify the attraction of adults of four tortricid moth species to five olfactory treatments, namely (1) Pherocon® CM L2-P, (2) Pherocon Megalure CM 4K Dual® (=Megalure), (3) Megalure + benzaldehyde, (4) TRE 2266 (linalool oxide + (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene (DMNT)), and (5) TRE 2267 (linalool oxide + DMNT + benzaldehyde), in non-mating disrupted commercial apple orchards in Massachusetts. The commercial lure Megalure was attractive to both sexes of G. molesta and C. pomonella. The addition of benzaldehyde to TRE 2266 or to Megalure significantly increased the capture of male G. molesta during the mid and late season of 2021. Only when benzaldehyde was added to TRE 2266 did the latter lure attract P. limitata in 2020 and 2021. The greatest number of tortricid moths (all four species combined) was captured by TRE 2267. This finding highlights the opportunity to enhance the attractiveness of a commercial lure through the addition of benzaldehyde, an aromatic compound, to Megalure. The potential of these additional volatiles to detect moths in a mating-disrupted orchard and/or remove female moths as a component of a management system is discussed.
Patients’ tendency to recommend plastic surgery clinic shaped by appearance consciousness

Background Plastic surgery services need adjustment from a patient experience perspective. However, its association with outcome quality was rarely studied. Postoperative appearance can play the role in predicting the clinic recommendations likelihood. Aim This study is aimed to analyse recommendation likelihood (LRC) to the clinic, incorporating postoperative patient consciousness of appearance (PCA) as a mediator. Setting Postoperative patient from two plastic surgery clinics in Jakarta, the Capital of Indonesia. Methods Quantitative study with postoperative patient self-reported survey and cross-sectional data from 97 respondents were taken purposively. Respondent data were analysed through partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Results Five elements of patient experience had positive association with LRC (p < 0.05) mediated by PCA, while PCA demonstrated a large effect on LRC (β: 0.403; p = 0.004; confidence interval [CI] = 0.173–0.671). Thus, PCA can mediate the relationship of patient experience to encourage clinic recommendations. Furthermore, healthcare by plastic surgeons showed predominant relationships followed by staff service and accessibility, suggesting those should be of utmost concern to plastic surgery patients. Conclusion Patient experience elements have positive association with LRC mediated by PCA. Therefore, the importance of PCA as a quality outcome must be considered in quality care delivery at plastic surgery clinics. Clinic management should prioritise optimising factors contributing to PCA. Contribution This study showed evidence that postoperative consciousness of appearance as outcome quality occurred as a mediator in patient experience relationship towards behavioural intention.
Nursing Sensitive Outcomes evaluation in the Emergency Department: An Umbrella Review

Objective. The aim of this review was to identify reported nursing-sensitive outcomes in the Emergency Department to date. Methods. An Umbrella review was conducted. Four databases, CINAHL, Pubmed, Web of Science and Scopus, were searched from inception until October 2022. MeSH terms were: "nursing", "sensitivity and specificity", "emergency service, hospital", "nursing care". Two reviewers independently screened studies against the inclusion criteria for eligibility, extracted data and assessed study quality with the SIGN tool. Results of the included studies were summarized and described in themes for narrative analysis. The study was enrolled in the PROSPERO registry (CRD42022376941) and PRISMA guidelines were followed. Results. The search strategy yielded 2289 records. After duplicate removal, title, abstract and full-text eligibility screening, nine systematic reviews were included in the review. A total of 35 nursing-sensitive outcomes were reported. The most described outcomes were waiting times, patient satisfaction and time to treatment. The less measured were mortality, left without being seen and physical function. Synthesizing nursing-sensitive outcomes in themes for reporting, the most measured outcomes were within the safety domain (n=20), followed by the clinical (n=9), perceptual (n=5) and the least explored functional domain (n=1). Conclusion. Nursing sensitive outcomes research in emergency nursing practice is a conceptual challenge still in its early stage. Several nursing-sensitive outcomes were identified in this review that can evaluate the contribution of emergency department nursing care to patient outcomes. Further research is required to explore patient outcomes sensitive to emergency nursing care.
Case Management “Within the Walls”: A Glimpse Into the Future

Case management integrates patient and provider satisfaction, takes into consideration cost factors, and provides a means of managing the individual's health concerns. It offers nurses an opportunity to demonstrate their roles in multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Using the case management approach, nurse case managers can optimize client self-care, decrease fragmentation of care, provide quality care across a continuum, enhance patients' quality of life, decrease length of hospitalization, increase patient and staff satisfaction, and promote the cost-effective use of scarce resources. This article will review case management, acute care case management, the essential characteristics and job responsibilities of the nurse case manager, and the stages of nursing case management. This article presents the nurse case manager's involvement with a patient in the critical care unit who sustained an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. A glimpse into the future will be viewed.
A domesticated photoautotrophic microbial community as a biofilm model system for analyzing the influence of plastic surfaces on invertebrate grazers in limnic environments

The environmental fate of plastic particles in water bodies is influenced by microbial biofilm formation. Invertebrate grazers may be affected when foraging biofilms on plastics compared to biofilms on natural substrata but the mechanistic basis for these effects is unknown. For analyzing these effects in ecotoxicological assays stable and reproducible biofilm communities are required that are related to the environmental site of interest. Here, a defined biofilm community was established and used to perform grazing experiments with a freshwater snail. For this, snippets of different plastic materials were incubated in the photic zone of three different freshwater sites. Amplicon sequencing of biofilms formed on these snippets showed that the site of incubation and not the plastic material dominated the microbial community composition. From these biofilms, individual microbial strains as well as photoautotrophic consortia were isolated; these consortia consisted of heterotrophic bacteria that were apparently nourished by microalga. While biofilms formed by defined dual cultures of a microalga and an Alphaproteobacterium were not accepted by the snail P. fontinalis, a photoautotrophic consortium (Co_3) sustained growth and metabolism of this grazer. Amplicon sequencing revealed that consortium Co_3, which could be stably maintained on solid medium under photoautotrophic conditions, reproducibly formed biofilms of a defined composition on three different plastic materials and on glass surfaces. In conclusion, our study shows that the generation of domesticated photoautotrophic microbial communities is a valid novel approach for establishing laboratory ecotoxicological assays with higher environmental relevance than those based on defined microbiota.
A Compact Stacked Multisector Near-Isotropic Coverage Rectenna Array System for IoT Applications

A low-profile, fully integrated, eight-sector rectenna array is proposed to achieve near-isotropic coverage for an angular misalignment-tolerant wireless power transfer (WPT) system. The proposed design incorporates a new Schottky diode connection strategy to simplify the integration of the rectenna elements (ReEs). The system utilizes a hybrid combining topology and conjugate impedance matching of ReEs with Schottky diode impedance. This reduces circuit losses and enhances system power conversion efficiency (PCE). Additionally, the hybrid combining scheme improves the output dc voltage and the optimal load. Moreover, the sustainable battery-less operation of a wireless sensor node is realized by employing a power management unit (PMU) with the proposed system.
Satisﬁability and Model Counting in Open Universes

SAT and #SAT are at the heart of many important problem formulations in AI, the most prominent being reasoning and learning in ﬁrst-order and probabilistic knowledge bases. In practice, all contemporary systems resort to domain closure: objects in the universe are all and only the ones mentioned in the knowledge base. This is in stark contrast to the natu-ral ability of human beings to infer things about sensory inputs and unforeseen data: they infer the existence of objects from their observations; no predeﬁned list of objects is given or known in advance. In this paper, we introduce the formal foundations for reasoning in open universes in a general way, purely based on SAT and #SAT technology.
Assurances et gestion des risques Insurance and Risk Management Market Growth and Barriers to Entry: Evidence from the Title Insurance Industry

The purpose of this paper is to examine barriers to entry in an insurance market wherein banks are an integral part of the distribution system: Title insurance. Given that the title insurance industry is characterized by two major entry barriers, controlled business arrangements and title plants, we test different industrial organization growth models with barriers to entry to determine which model best describes the title insurance industry. The empirical analysis we present suggests that the theoretical model that explains more accurately the current title insurance industry structure is the Salop circular-city model.
The Effect of Pathogen-Speciﬁc Clinical Mastitis on the Lactation Curve for Somatic Cell Count

Data from 274 Dutch herds recording clinical mastitis (CM) over an 18-mo period were used to investigate the effect of pathogen-speciﬁc CM on the lactation curve for somatic cell count (SCC). Analyzed pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus , coagulase-negative staphylococci, Escherichia coli , Streptococcus dysgalactiae , Streptococcus uberis , other streptococci, and the culture-negative samples. The dataset contained 178,754 test-day records on SCC, recorded in 26,411 lactations of 21,525 cows of different parities. In lactations without both clinical and subclinical mastitis, SCC was high shortly after parturition, decreased to a minimum at 50 days in milk (DIM), and increased slowly toward the end of the lactation. Effects of CM on lactation curves for SCC differed among the pathogens isolated. Before a case of clinical E. coli mastitis occurred, SCC was close to the SCC of lactations without both clinical and subclinical mastitis, and after the case of CM had oc-curred, SCC returned rather quickly to a low level again. Similar curves were found for lactations with cases of CM associated with culture-negative samples. Before a case of clinical Staph. aureus mastitis oc-curred, average SCC was already high, and it remained high after the occurrence. Effects of CM associated with Strep. dysgalactiae , Strep. uberis , and other streptococci on the lactation curve for SCC were comparable. They showed a continuous increase in SCC until the case of pathogen-speciﬁc CM occurred, and afterwards SCC stayed at a higher level. Using SCC test-day records, these typical characteristics of each pathogen may be used to ﬁnd more effective indicators of CM.
Exercise intervention for patients with chronic low back pain: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Purpose Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is an aging and public health issue that is a leading cause of disability worldwide and has a significant economic impact on a global scale. Treatments for CLBP are varied, and there is currently no study with high-quality evidence to show which treatment works best. Exercise therapy has the characteristics of minor harm, low cost, and convenient implementation. It has become a mainstream treatment method in clinics for chronic low back pain. However, there is insufficient evidence on which specific exercise regimen is more effective for chronic non-specific low back pain. This network meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of different exercise therapies on chronic low back pain and provide a reference for exercise regimens in CLBP patients. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from inception to 10 May 2022. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used for selection. We collected information from studies to compare the effects of 20 exercise interventions on patients with chronic low back pain. Results This study included 75 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 5,254 participants. Network meta-analysis results showed that tai chi [standardized mean difference (SMD), −2.11; 95% CI, −3.62 to −0.61], yoga (SMD, −1.76; 95% CI −2.72 to −0.81), Pilates exercise (SMD, −1.52; 95% CI, −2.68, to −0.36), and sling exercise (SMD, −1.19; 95% CI, −2.07 to −0.30) showed a better pain improvement than conventional rehabilitation. Tai chi (SMD, −2.42; 95% CI, −3.81 to −1.03) and yoga (SMD, −2.07; 95% CI, −2.80 to −1.34) showed a better pain improvement than no intervention provided. Yoga (SMD, −1.72; 95% CI, −2.91 to −0.53) and core or stabilization exercises (SMD, −1.04; 95% CI, −1.80 to −0.28) showed a better physical function improvement than conventional rehabilitation. Yoga (SMD, −1.81; 95% CI, −2.78 to −0.83) and core or stabilization exercises (SMD, −1.13; 95% CI, −1.66 to −0.59) showed a better physical function improvement than no intervention provided. Conclusion Compared with conventional rehabilitation and no intervention provided, tai chi, toga, Pilates exercise, sling exercise, motor control exercise, and core or stabilization exercises significantly improved CLBP in patients. Compared with conventional rehabilitation and no intervention provided, yoga and core or stabilization exercises were statistically significant in improving physical function in patients with CLBP. Due to the limitations of the quality and quantity of the included studies, it is difficult to make a definitive recommendation before more large-scale and high-quality RCTs are conducted.
Ten-years malaria trend analysis in Mangili Public Health Centre, East Sumba District of East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia: a retrospective study

BACKGROUND: Malaria still remains a major public health problem globally including in Indonesia. Currently, most of malaria cases are in the eastern part of the country. However, there is no information yet regarding the trends of malaria prevalence at rural health institution particularly at Mangili Public Health Centre. AIM: This study aims to explore the trend of malaria prevalence over a ten-year period. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out in the Centre. The laboratory record books from January 2013 to December 2022 were carefully reviewed to identify malaria cases based on the sex, age, type of plasmodium, year and month when the patients diagnosed malaria microscopically. The trend analysis was applied to identify the trend of malaria over the period under review. RESULTS: Over the last ten years, 19,938 blood films were requested for malaria diagnosis at the health centre. From this number, 3.679 (18.5%, with 95% confidence interval (CI): 17.2 - 19.7) were microscopically confirmed malaria cases. From the total cases, prevalence of plasmodium falciparum, vivax and mix infection was 85.5% with 95% CI: 84.3 - 86.8; 6.39% with 95% CI: 3.26 - 9.51; and 7.58% with 95% CI: 4.48 - 10.7 respectively. The number of malaria cases reached a peak in January, whilst it was the lowest in October. Overall trend on the prevalence of malaria decreased significantly, however the prevalence of plasmodium falciparum increased considerably during COVI-19 pandemic. The prevalence of plasmodium falciparum, vivax and mixed infection was higher in male, age group [≥] 15, and student than their counterpart. CONCLUSION: Malaria remains high in this area with plasmodium falciparum is the dominant species followed by mixed infection. Scaling up malaria control and prevention activities are very crucial to significantly reduce the burden of malaria and to boost malaria elimination in this region.
CLIMATOLOGY OF STATEWIDE EXTREME TEMPERATURES DURING WINTER MONTHS IN THE COTERMINOUS UNITED STATES

A 20-year (1961-1980) record of statewide extreme maximum and minimum temperatures for the winter season is examined for the coterminous United States. Extreme maxima exhibit a zonal pattern, modified somewhat by terrain features in the west. Extreme minima are more dramatically skewed from a zonal orientation, because of the effects of elevation and proximity to oceans. Interannual variability in the record of extreme temperatures appears to be dictated by proximity to air-mass source regions (e.g., low variability of minima in the Upper Midwest, low variability of maxima in the Deep South) and sensitivity to the position and amplitude of mid-tropospheric circulation and snowpack dynamics (e.g., high variability of minima in the Ohio Valley). Strong, spatially coherent patterns of correlation between statewide extremes and amplitude of midtropospheric flow are evident (negative correlation with enhanced troughing in the east; positive correlation with enhanced ridging in the west). Lag correlations with .
Safety evaluation of the food enzyme bacillolysin from the non‐genetically modified Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain HPN 131

Abstract The food enzyme bacillolysin (EC 3.4.24.28) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain HPN 131 by ENMEX SA de CV. The production strain qualifies for the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach to safety assessment. The food enzyme under assessment is intended to be used in seven food manufacturing processes: processing of cereals and other grains for the production of baked products, brewed products and distilled alcohol; processing of dairy products for the production of modified milk proteins; processing of meat and fish products for the production of protein hydrolysates; processing of plant‐ and fungal‐derived products for the production of protein hydrolysates; processing of yeasts and yeast products. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are not carried over to distilled alcohol, a dietary exposure was estimated only for the remaining six food manufacturing processes. Exposure was estimated to be up to 8.302 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. As the production strain qualifies for the QPS status and no issue of concern arose from the production process of the food enzyme, the Panel considered that no toxicological studies other than the assessment of allergenicity were necessary. A search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no matches were found. The Panel considered that the risk of allergic reactions by dietary exposure cannot be excluded (except for distilled alcohol production), but the likelihood is low. Based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
The association between MMP−13 rs478927 gene polymorphism and dental caries susceptibility in children with mixed dentition from Birjand, Iran: A case‐control study

Gene polymorphisms are responsible for at least part of the variation in caries susceptibility despite similar environmental factors. Genes involved in enamel formation like matrix metalloproteinase‐13 (MMP‐13) may participate in caries process. The aim was to investigate the association between MMP‐13 rs478927 polymorphism and caries susceptibility in 6‐years‐old children from Birjand, Iran.
Improving the acceptability of social robots: Make them look different from humans

The social robots market will grow considerably in the coming years. What the arrival of these new kind of social agents means for society, however, is largely unknown. Existing cases of robot abuse point to risks of introducing such artificial social agents (ASAs) without considerations about consequences (risks for the robots and the human witnesses to the abuse). We believe that humans react aggressively towards ASAs when they are enticed into establishing dominance hierarchies. This happens when there is a basis for skill comparison. We therefore presented pairs of robots on which we varied similarity and the degree of stimulatability of their mechanisms/functions with the human body (walking, jumping = simulatable; rolling, floating = non-simulatable). We asked which robot (i) resembled more a human, (ii) possessed more “essentialized human qualities” (e.g. creativity). To estimate social acceptability, participants had also (iii) to predict the outcome of a situation where a robot approached a group of humans. For robots with simulatable functions, rating of essentialized human qualities decreased as human resemblance decreased (jumper < walker). For robots with non-simulable functions, the reversed relation was seen: robots that least resembled humans (floater) scored highest in qualities. Critically, robot’s acceptability followed ratings of essentialized human qualities. Humans respond socially to certain morphological (physical aspects) and behavioral cues. Therefore, unless ASAs perfectly mimic humans, it is safer to provide them with mechanisms/functions that cannot be simulated with the human body.
