Multi-agent Coordination with Deferred Asynchronous Messaging in a Distributed Coordination Space
Authors:   Lviv Politechnic University, Botchkaryov Alexey
Published: January 2023

A method of multi-agent coordination with deferred asynchronous messaging in a distributed coordination space has been proposed. The method has been based on the concept of multi-agent conditional interaction. The method has used 1) a distributed coordination space in which agents move, 2) the rules of state transitions for the coordination space nodes depending on the movements of agents, 3) the rules of agents move and state transitions depending on the states of the coordination space nodes, 4) a multi-agent coordination game based on the coordination space and the rules. The coordination space has been implemented based on the distributed shared memory of agents. The rules have been applied by exchanging deferred asynchronous messages between agents through the distributed shared memory. The agent's decisions about movement in the coordination space and their consequences are interpreted according to the rules in asynchronous messages. Delivery of messages to other agents has been deferred until these agents visit the corresponding nodes of the coordination space. This has ensured 1) mutual exclusion when agents choose conflicting actions, and 2) resilience of multi-agent coordination to agent failures and loss of coordinating messages. Four multi-agent coordination games have been considered as examples. The issue of fault tolerance of the proposed coordination method has been considered. The simulation results show that the use of the method ensures the resilience of multi-agent coordination to agent failures in the considered coordination games.

Among the main requirements of modern surveillance systems are stability in the face of negative influences and intellectualization. The purpose of intellectualization is that the surveillance system should perform not only the main functions such as monitoring and stream recording but also have to provide effective stream processing. The requirement for this processing is that the system operation has to be automated, and the operator's influence should be minimal. Modern intelligent surveillance systems require the development of grouping methods. The context of the grouping method here is associated with a decomposition of the target problem. Depending on the purpose of the system, the target problem can represent several subproblems, each of which usually accomplishes by artificial intelligence or data mining methods.

Authors: Romrome Abel Yohanis , Mbato Concilianus Laos
Published: January 2023

Although writing motivation has been widely investigated, limited research has focused on the three elements of internal motivation: writing beliefs, self-efficacy, and attitudes, let alone in the Papuan context. This study explored 32 Papuan EFL undergraduate students' internal motivation in essay writing through a purposive sampling technique. This research adopted a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative data. In collecting the quantitative data, a questionnaire was distributed through the Google Forms platform and analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Meanwhile, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain qualitative data and analyzed by reading the data transcription and listening to the data recording three times to gain more valid information about the students' internal motivation in writing. The findings revealed that most EFL students had realized the importance of writing (WB1; M=3.63). Some students also demonstrated self-efficacy as writers (SE1; M=3.67), while others still felt anxious during writing (SE4; 3.60). Furthermore, some participants had created a positive attitude toward writing, whereas others did not. This research offers pedagogical implications for the lecturers and educators to promote the importance of writing to their students, encourage them to increase their self-efficacy as writers, and create positive attitudes toward writing.

Published: January 2023

The increasing spread of the COVID-19 encouraged learning systems to switch from traditional to online learning. It has brought significant problems and difficulties for students. The swift shift to fully online learning demands some adaptation. Students must learn to adapt their abilities because of the increasing use of technology in education. This study explored students' attitudes towards online learning and the reasons for their attitudes. A survey of 191 students from four State Islamic universities in Aceh was conducted online. A descriptive research framework was chosen, and a survey approach was used to collect data to gain knowledge of the situation and answer research questions. Students showed a positive attitude and satisfaction toward online learning during Covid-19. Even they realized how to handle technological tools applied during teaching and learning. Integrating technology into education does not challenge students as technical support and facilitates education to be easier. Keeping up with technology and infrastructural upgrades is vital to support online learning. The recent study has certain limitations. The small number of participants leads to incomplete data. Therefore, it is necessary to include more people to examine education in general.

Published: January 2023

The increase accessibility of online resources in day-to-day communication in the digital era offers ample opportunities for informal language learning to enhance learners’ communicative competence. Addressing the issue, this sequential explanatory study sheds some light on the empirical relationship between informal digital learning of English (IDLE) activities and the development of learners’ communicative competence. Moreover, the types of IDLE activities are further depicted. A web-based survey and semi-structured interviews were employed to elicit the required data from 279 Indonesian undergraduate learners majoring in English education and linguistic studies. Drawing on a multiple linear regression analysis, the results depicted that both receptive IDLE activity (e.g. listening to English music online) and productive IDLE activity (e.g. chatting in English with others) contributed to the enhancement of the learners’ communicative competence. The semi-structured interviews further portrayed several types of IDLE activities which have fruitful insights for the learners’ communicative development. This study concerns on the current phenomenon of how language learners are exposed to the present-day technological advancement in a range of informal learning environments, along with some didactic implications for English language teaching.

KEMURNIAN HAKIM ADHOK PADA SISTEM PERADILAN HUBUNGAN INDUSTRIAL DI INDONESIA
Authors: Daryono
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the purity of ad-hoc judges in the Industrial Relations Justice system in Indonesia. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statute and comparative approach. The results of the study show that the position of ad hoc judges as executor of judicial power, who should be free to enforce law and justice, is different from that of ad hoc judges at the Industrial Relations Court whose position is regulated in Law No. 2 of 2004 concerning Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement (UU-PPHI).  The position of ad hoc judges at the Industrial Relations Court is tied to each of the proposing organizations, either Workers/Labourers' organizations or  employers' organization, which causes the position of an ad hoc Judges, in the industrial relations judicial system to be less independent, due to the requirements of the interests of each proposing organization. In fact, the existence of ad-hoc judges in the judicial system is expected to be able to create a sense of community justice.

Abstrak

Tujuan studi ini untuk mengkaji Kemurnian Hakim Ad-hoc pada sistem Peradilan Hubungan Industrial di Indonesia. Studi ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan komparatif. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa Kedudukan hakim Ad-hoc sebagai pelaksana Kekuasaan Kehakiman, yang seharusnya bebas merdeka dalam menegakan hukum dan keadilan, namun berbeda halnya dengan Hakim Ad hoc pada Pengadilan Hubungan Industrial yang kedudukannya diatur dalam Undang-Undang No. 2 Tahun 2004 tentang Penyelesaian Perselisihan Hubungan Industrial (UU-PPHI), Kedudukan Hakim Ad hoc pada Pengadilan Hubungan Industrial ternyata terikat dengan masing-masing organisasi pengusul, baik organisasi Pekerja/Buruh atau organisasi pengusaha, yang menyebabkan kedudukan Hakim Ad hoc dalam sistem peradilan hubungan industrial  menjadi tidak independen, karena syarat kepentingan dari masing-masing organisasi pengusul. Padahal keberadaan hakim ad-hoc pada sistem Peradilan diharapkan mampu menciptakan rasa keadilan masyarakat.

Authors: Marquis Charlotte R. , Gull Tamara , Dodam John , Thombs Lori , Bukoski Alex
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

To compare the efficacy of 4 cleaning protocols applied to endotracheal tubes (ETTs) collected from anesthetized dogs.

SAMPLE

100 ETTs (25 per protocol).

PROCEDURES

A 10-question survey designed to determine ETT reuse and cleaning practices was distributed via email to a sample of veterinary anesthesiologists. Informed by survey results, 4 ETT cleaning protocols were selected for use in a prospective clinical study. Dogs were intubated with sterile polyvinyl chloride ETTs. At extubation, each ETT was cultured for bacterial growth, randomly assigned to 1 of 4 protocols [water scrub (P1), detergent scrub (P2), detergent scrub and chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) soak (P3), or detergent scrub and bleach soak (P4)], and cultured again after drying. Bacterial genera were identified using mass spectrometry and 16s rRNA sequencing. Proportions of ETTs exhibiting no post-cleaning growth were compared between protocols using the Fisher exact test with Bonferroni correction.

RESULTS

Half of survey respondents that reused ETTs did not sterilize them before reuse, cleaning methods varied widely, and no reported methods were evidence-based. After use, the number of ETTs exhibiting no post-cleaning bacterial growth were 15/25 (60%), 14/25 (56%), 20/25 (80%), and 17/25 (68%) for protocols P1, P2, P3, and P4, respectively. Pairwise comparisons did not reveal any statistically significant differences between protocols.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

In small animal patients, some veterinary anesthesiologists reuse ETTs without sterilization and cleaning protocols vary widely. No differences between the studied protocols were identified. Further research is necessary to identify a safe, efficacious ETT cleaning protocol for use in small animal practice.

Authors: Elane George L. , Portela Diego A. , Hobbs Kallie J. , Bauck Anje G. , Biedrzycki Adam H.
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether anesthesia type (sedation or general anesthesia) affects kid survival to discharge in caprine cesarean sections (C-sections).

ANIMALS

Retrospective cohort of 99 caprine C-sections (2011–2021).

PROCEDURES

All surgeries were performed via left flank laparotomy in right lateral recumbency. The number of kids alive at presentation, surgery, and discharge was recorded. Kids that were dead on presentation or euthanized intraoperatively were excluded. Goats were classified as “healthy” (American Society of Anesthesiologists status ≤ 2) or “sick” (≥ 3).

RESULTS

Kid survival was significantly higher for C-sections performed under sedation (47/52 [90%]) than for C-sections performed under general anesthesia (16/24 [66%]; P = .004). Relative risk was 1.4 and odds ratio was 4.7.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Performing C-sections in sedated goats may improve kid survival rates over those under general anesthesia.
Retrospective analysis describes safety of therapeutic joint injections in dogs
Authors: Miller Allison V. , Carney Patrick C. , Markmann Alexandra , Frye Christopher W.
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

To retrospectively investigate the safety of canine therapeutic IA injections, describing and correlating adverse events with the number of injections per visit, joint injected, signalment, body condition score, type, and volume of injectate.

SAMPLE

There were 505 joint injections across 283 visits for 178 client-owned dogs, including the shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle, tarsus, and metacarpophalangeal.

PROCEDURES

A search was performed of the Cornell University Hospital for Animals medical records for relevant data, identifying dogs treated with therapeutic joint injections and rechecked between 2010 and 2022.

RESULTS

Minor complications were noted in 70 of 283 visits and included transient soreness (18.4%, lasting a median of 2 days; range, 1 to 20 days) and gastroenteritis (6.8%). One case of septic arthritis (1/505 joints), which possessed risks of a hematogenous source, was the only potential major complication. Soreness was not correlated with the number of joints injected per visit. Larger volumes of injectate normalized to body size were more likely to be associated with transient soreness in the stifle and tarsus. Across injectates, only stem cells had significantly increased odds of soreness. Gastroenteritis was not associated with the type of injectate.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Therapeutic joint injections in dogs are safe, with an extremely low risk of major adverse effects. Transient soreness is a commonly expected minor adverse event. The use of stem cells or larger injectate volumes (confined to the stifle and smaller distal joints) may be more likely to invoke discomfort.

Authors: Manfredi Jane M. , Jacob Sarah , Norton Elaine
Published: January 2023

Endocrine disorders are associated with joint pain and tendon injury in humans, but the effects in the horse are only starting to be understood. Similar patterns of clinical signs and injury appear to affect horses and humans for both orthopedic and endocrine disorders, supporting the use of a one-health approach to tackle these issues. In this Currents in One Health, we will discuss common equine endocrinopathies, current testing recommendations, dietary management, genetic predispositions, and endocrine disorders’ effects on performance. Our aim is to use a one-health lens to describe current comparative research so that veterinarians can employ cutting-edge preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic recommendations. Identified key gaps in knowledge include whether equine metabolic osteoarthritis exists, if steroid joint injections are safe in horses with endocrine disorders, and if the return to performance percentage improves with concurrent treatment of endocrine and musculoskeletal disorders. Key takeaways include that the relationship between endocrine disorders and musculoskeletal disease in the horse goes beyond laminitis to include lameness, muscle atrophy, suspensory ligament degeneration, osteochondritis dissecans, and potentially metabolic osteoarthritis. Approaches learned from human and equine comparative studies can offer insight into injury recognition and management, thus mitigating the impact of endocrine disorders on performance in both species. Readers interested in an in-depth description of current and future research involving pathophysiology, novel interventions, and multiomic approaches to identify individuals with athletic limitations induced by endocrine disorders are invited to read the companion Currents in One Health by Manfredi et al, AJVR, February 2023.
The Complexities of the Field in a Linguistic Ethnographic Research
Authors: Barabás Blanka
Published: January 2023

In critical sociolinguistics, language is viewed as a fundamentally social phenomenon that is defined discursively, rather than in terms of individual beliefs and attitudes, and because linguistic practices are themselves intersubjective. Moreover, the broader cultural, historical, and political aspects have also become relevant in the study of language, requiring new ways of addressing sociolinguistic issues. Linguistic ethnography may be a central tool in this inquiry, as it looks at everyday practices in order to understand wider social structures. In this paper, I argue that a festival as a place of encounters provides an adequate context for such research. After discussing the different concepts of the field in doing ethnographic work, I examine the online presence of the festival in question. Tusványos is an event organized in Transylvania every year, with the intention of bringing together Hungarian participants from Hungary and Romania, as well as Romanians.

Feedback is an important element of learning, and peer feedback is now being increasingly used by more educators. Researchers acknowledge that students’ ability to read, interpret and use feedback can be developed, and more research is needed on how to achieve it. This study attempted to find out whether peer feedback helps foster student feedback literacy in an online learning environment. In this article, we attempt to showcase how students’ feedback literacy changed at the end of a 14-week process involving predominantly asynchronous peer interactions. This work was carried out as a mixed method study in a group of second-year undergraduate students from a state university. Study data were collected using two different questionnaires and one assessment rubric. The results showed that in an online learning environment, peer feedback can be a way to support the improvement of student feedback literacy.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) sprouts are a common vegetable with rich nutrients, such as protein, vitamin C and isoflavones. Soybean is also capable of accumulating selenium (Se). To study the effects of Se biofortification on the nutrient of this crop, soybean sprouts were treated with different concentrations of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) or selenite (i.e., 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM, 80 μM and 100 μM) in a hydroponic experiment. Results showed that SeNPs and selenite remarkably increased the total Se concentration in soybean sprouts. Five Se speciations, namely, selenocystine, selenomethionine, methyl selenocysteine, selenite and selenate were detected in soybean sprouts, but selenomethionine was found to be the dominant Se speciation. SeNPs and selenite increased the contents of chlorophyll, carotenoid, soluble sugar, soluble protein, vitamin C and isoflavones in soybean sprouts. SeNPs treatments led to less malondialdehyde content compared with selenite. SeNPs and selenite both enhanced the glutathione content. The modest dosage of exogenous Se stimulated the catalase activity, whereas the large amount reduced it. The peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase activities were stimulated by SeNPs and selenite. SeNPs posed no significant influence on the superoxide dismutase activity. This study suggests that SeNPs are a good exogenous Se source for the production of Se-rich soybean sprouts.

The ability for quick multidirectional accelerations is crucial for athletic performance in team and racquet sports. So far, there has been little research dedicated to different initial step patterns usually applied by players. Therefore, the present study investigated the kinematic characteristics and effectiveness of the following step patterns: Jab Step (JS), Pivot Step (PS), Gravity Step (GS) and Counter Step (CS). Twenty-two male competitive team and racquet sport athletes completed maximum lateral accelerations utilizing the step patterns. Following familiarization with each step pattern, three 5 m sprints (5 m STs) into both directions (left & right) were completed. Sprint times, the translation of the center of mass (CoM) and joint angles were obtained using three-dimensional motion analysis. 5 m STs of the CS were faster compared to the GS and PS for both directions. A detailed distance-time analysis revealed that for shorter distances only the JS was faster than the GS. Regarding the sequence in which the maximum angular velocities (max.

) in the hip, the knee, and the ankle were reached during the push off, there was a proximal-to-distal sequence for the JS and the CS, but a distal-to proximal sequence for the GS and the PS. The results reveal that the JS and the CS are superior for accelerations towards the lateral direction. Specifically, they indicate that the JS is more suitable for covering very short distances and the CS is superior for covering further distances. In addition, the distal-to-proximal sequence of max.

Published: January 2023

Limited evidence is available providing specific details about the perceptual-cognitive and motor factors that contribute to reactive agility (RA) and variations between genders in young athletes. The aim of the study was to investigate perceptual-cognitive and motor determinants of RA in competitive youth volleyball players. A total of 135 volleyball players (61 males, 74 females) aged 16–18 years were included in this study. The independent variables were as follows: explosive strength, maximal frequency of movements, simple and complex reaction time, selective attention, sensory sensitivity, and saccadic dynamics. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that explosive strength (ß = - 0.494; p < 0.001) and complex reaction time (ß = 0.225; p = 0.054) accounted for 23% of the variance in RA performance in male players. The best exploratory model for RA contributed 34.5% of the variance in RA for female players with significant determinants of explosive strength (ß = -0.387; p < 0.001), sensory sensitivity (ß = -0.326; p = 0.001) and selective attention (ß = 0.229; p = 0.020). Male athletes obtained better results in RA, in all motor tests (effect size of 0.88 to 2.58) and in five variables of perceptual-cognitive skills (effect size of 0.35 to 0.98). Motor and perceptual-cognitive components significantly contributed to performance in RA in competitive youth volleyball players. Gender differentiates between players’ RA performance, motor properties and saccadic dynamics to a large extent, while the remaining analyzed perceptual-cognitive components vary between female and male players to a small and moderate extent.
