In critically ill patients, endotracheal intubation (ETI) is lifesaving but carries a high risk of adverse events, notably hypoxemia. Preoxygenation is performed before introducing the tube to increase the safe apnea time. Oxygenation is monitored by pulse oximeter measurement of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2). However, SpO2 is unreliable at the high oxygenation levels produced by preoxygenation and, in the event of desaturation, may not decrease sufficiently early to allow preventive measures. The oxygen reserve index (ORI) is a dimensionless parameter that can also be measured continuously by a fingertip monitor and reflects oxygenation in the moderate hyperoxia range. The ORI ranges from 0 to 1 when arterial oxygen saturation (PaO2) varies between 100 to 200 mmHg, as occurs during preoxygenation. No trial has assessed the potential effects of ORI monitoring to guide preoxygenation for ETI in unstable patients. We designed a multicenter, two-arm, parallel-group, randomized, superiority, open trial in 950 critically ill adults requiring ETI. The intervention consists in monitoring ORI values and using an ORI target for preoxygenation of at least 0.6 for at least 1 minute. In the control group, preoxygenation is guided by SpO2 values recorded by a standard pulse oximeter, according to the standard of care, the goal being to obtain 100% SpO2 during preoxygenation, which lasts at least 3 minutes. The standard-of-care ETI technique is used in both arms. Baseline parameters, rapid-sequence induction medications, ETI devices, and physiological data are recorded. The primary outcome is the lowest SpO2 value from laryngoscopy to 2 minutes after successful ETI. Secondary outcomes include cognitive function on day 28. Assuming a 10% standard deviation for the lowest SpO2 value in the control group, no missing data, and crossover of 5% of patients, with the bilateral alpha risk set at 0.05, including 950 patients will provide 85% power for detecting a 2% between-group absolute difference in the lowest SpO2 value. Should ORI monitoring with a target of ≥0.6 be found to increase the lowest SpO2 value during ETI, then this trial may change current practice regarding preoxygenation for ETI.

Current influenza vaccine strategies have yet to overcome significant obstacles, including rapid antigenic drift of seasonal influenza viruses, in generating efficacious long-term humoral immunity. Due to the necessity of germinal center formation in generating long-lived high affinity antibodies, the germinal center has increasingly become a target for the development of novel or improvement of less-efficacious vaccines. However, there remains a major gap in current influenza research to effectively target T follicular helper cells during vaccination to alter the germinal center reaction. In this study, we used a heterologous infection or immunization priming strategy to seed an antigen-specific memory CD4+ T cell pool prior to influenza infection in mice to evaluate the effect of recalled memory T follicular helper cells in increased help to influenza-specific primary B cells and enhanced generation of neutralizing antibodies. We found that heterologous priming with intranasal infection with acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) or intramuscular immunization with adjuvanted recombinant LCMV glycoprotein induced increased antigen-specific effector CD4+ T and B cellular responses following infection with a recombinant influenza strain that expresses LCMV glycoprotein. Heterologously primed mice had increased expansion of secondary Th1 and Tfh cell subsets, including increased CD4+ TRM cells in the lung. However, the early enhancement of the germinal center cellular response following influenza infection did not impact influenza-specific antibody generation or B cell repertoires compared to primary influenza infection. Overall, our study suggests that while heterologous infection or immunization priming of CD4+ T cells is able to enhance the early germinal center reaction, further studies to understand how to target the germinal center and CD4+ T cells specifically to increase long-lived antiviral humoral immunity are needed.
ENTOMOPHAGY AS A POTENTIAL TOURISM PRODUCT: THE CASE OF THE MOPANI DISTRICT, LIMPOPO PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Van der Merwe Peet , Mkhize-Simelane Bianca , De Sousa Luiza
Published: September 2024

Entomophagy and entomophagy tourism have been gaining traction as a growing trend in various parts of the world. Although the concept may be relatively new in some regions, entomophagy has existed for many years and offers various benefits for farmers, local communities, and tourists alike. Entomophagy tourism involves a tourist visiting an area to learn about and experience insect-based foods in various forms such as tasting dishes or participating in insect harvesting and preparation. When implemented sustainably, entomophagy tourism can generate additional farmer income, create job opportunities, utilise more farm resources, and preserve natural and cultural heritage.
This study aimed to explore and assess the potential of entomophagy tourism in the Mopani District, Limpopo Province, South Africa. This involved investigating the cultural, ecological, and economic dimensions of insect consumption in the region, specifically focusing on how entomophagy can be leveraged to promote tourism. Ultimately, the goal was to provide insights and recommendations that can contribute to the sustainable development of entomophagy tourism in the Mopani District, fostering cultural preservation and economic growth in the region.

A fenntarthatóság koncepciója energetikai szemléletben – Fókuszban az energiatrilemma és -átmenet, valamint a kapcsolódó innovációs potenciál
Authors: Herczeg Balázs , Pintér Éva
Published: September 2024

A fenntartható energiagazdálkodás egyik legnagyobb kihívása, hogy kielégítse a növekvő energiakeresletet, miközben minimalizálja a környezeti hatásokat és elősegíti a gazdasági és társadalmi fejlődést. Ennek a folyamatnak a központi eleme az energiatrilemma – az energia biztonságának, egyenlőségének és környezeti fenntarthatóságának – egyensúlyozása, valamint korunk energiaátmenetének támogatása. Mindezek megvalósítása azonban számos kihívást állít a társadalmak és politikai döntéshozók elé, melyek leküzdésében a fenntartható innováció kulcsfontosságú szereplővé válik. Ez a tanulmány a fenntartható energiagazdálkodás összetett dinamikáját hivatott megvizsgálni. A kutatás során a szerzők feltárták az energiatrilemma és az energiaátmenet közötti összefüggéseket, az előrehaladás mérőszámait, valamint az innovációk szerepét a fenntartható energiagazdálkodásban. A feltérképezett kapcsolati rendszerek és dimenziók új kontextusba helyezik a témakört, alátámasztva annak fontosságát a jövőnkre nézve.
Az exportaktivitás és a családi jelleg hatása a KKV-k innovativitására
Authors: Szennay Áron , Csákné Filep Judit
Published: September 2024

A családi vállalkozások az üzleti vállalkozások egyik legrégebbi, mindmáig domináns szervezeti formái, innovációs tevékenységük kutatása mégis csupán egy felfutóban levő terület, különösen a kelet-közép-európai régióban. A szerzők munkájuk során a magyarországi kis- és középvállalkozások 2017-es (n=382), 2020-as (n=501), illetve 2022-es (n=506) reprezentatív mintáján statisztikai eszközökkel vizsgálják a vállalkozások családi jellege, innovációs tevékenysége, valamint export aktivitása közötti kapcsolatot. Eredményeik alapján az exportáló magyarországi kis- és közepes vállalkozások (KKV-k) innovációs aktivitása jelentősebb, mint a nem exportálóké. A családi jelleg és az innovációs tevékenység ugyanakkor egymástól függetlennek tekinthető, míg a családi jelleg és az exporttevékenység közötti kapcsolat a három vizsgált évben nem egyöntetű. A kutatás egyik legfőbb korlátjaként emelhető ki, hogy a 2020-as lekérdezés a vonatkozó év májusának második felében, a COVID-19 pandémia első hulláma alatt, a 2022-es pedig az orosz-ukrán háború jelentette sokkhatást követően valósult meg, így a válaszadókat befolyásolhatta a külső környezet kiszámíthatatlansága.
A felhő alapú technológia diffúziójának modellezése a hazai KKV-szektorban
Authors: Nagy-Borsy Viktor
Published: September 2024

A felhő alapú technológia a 2010-es években jelent meg a hazai vállalatok használatában, azóta a gyakorlati alkalmazását tekintve ismert, jelentős technológiának számít. A kutatás célja, hogy feltérképezze a technológia alkalmazásával járó specialitásokat és előnyöket (kifejezetten a KKV-szektor fókuszában), továbbá empirikusan jellemezze a technológia jelenlegi használatának mértékét és jövőbeli elterjedésének (diffúziójának) várható ütemét és nagyságát. A kutatás elméleti hátterét a felhő alapú technológia bemutatása, valamint a diffúzió elméletének és fontosabb modelljeinek ismertetése adja. Az empirikus elemzés a KSH felhő alapú technológiák használatát érintő reprezentatív adataira épül, a technológia diffúziójának előrejelzése a Bass-modell alkalmazásával történt. Az eredmények tükrében megállapítható, hogy a felhő alapú technológia megjelenése óta eltelt mintegy 15 évben a technológia használata nőtt a vállalkozások körében, azonban jelentősen elmarad a nagyvállalatok adataitól, annak ellenére, hogy a technológia alkalmazása különösen jól illeszkedik a KKV-szektor specialitásaihoz. Az előrejelzések szerint a KKV-k körében a technológia diffúziójának mértéke jelentősen elmarad a nagyvállalatok esetén becsült terjedéstől.
Non-homogeneity effect on the vibration of the rectangular visco-elastic plate subjected to the linear temperature effect with quadratic thickness variation in both directions
Authors: Aggarwal Sudhanshu
Published: September 2024

The present work investigates the effect of non-homogeneity on the vibration of a rectangular visco-elastic plate. The plate is subjected to linear temperature variation in the x-direction with quadratic thickness variation in both directions. The quadratic variation has been considered in the material density of the plate only along the x-axis, and it is assumed that non-homogeneity transpires because of this variation. The governing differential equation is solved using the Rayleigh-Ritz technique. All four edges of the plate should be clamped to drive the frequency equation. Deflection and time period have been evaluated for several combinations of values of the thermal constant, constant of nonhomogeneity, taper constants, and length-to-width ratio (aspect ratio) for the first two vibrationmodes of the clamped plate. The results presented are compared with those found in the literature.
Larval Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) zooplankton consumption remains constant despite variation in prey densities in western Lake Erie
Authors: Amidon Zachary J. , DeBruyne Robin L. , Roseman Edward. F. , Mayer Christine M. , Sakas Alexis
Published: September 2024

Larval fish growth and survival could be limited or reduced due to patchiness of zooplankton densities, even in productive aquatic systems. Recent declines in Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) populations prompted research to identify underlying mechanisms controlling survival at early life stages. In Lake Erie, the bottleneck window controlling year-class strength of Lake Whitefish likely occurs during the first growing season, suggesting that availability of important prey could influence year-class strength. Therefore, spatial and temporal larval Lake Whitefish distribution, diet, and prey utilization were evaluated in western Lake Erie. The pelagic Lake Whitefish larval period in the western basin extends from April 1 to May 15 with most larvae concentrated nearshore at the surface both day and night. Cyclopoid copepods were the most important prey item; however, calanoid copepods and Cladocera were consistently consumed, indicating that copepods and Cladocera were important larval Lake Whitefish prey items. Copepod and Cladocera biomass were the highest nearshore, overlapping with the highest larval Lake Whitefish densities. However, the amount of food consumed by larvae was consistent in all areas, suggesting that offshore areas in western Lake Erie with relatively low zooplankton biomass harbor enough food to satiate larval Lake Whitefish. Therefore, it is unlikely that prey availability limits survival through means of starvation during the larval phase.
Ottoman dīvān literature in the Turkish literary-historical canon
Authors: Akyol Ercan
Published: September 2024

This articlerevolves around themodern historiography of Ottoman literature produced between the 14th and 19th centuries. Manuscripts constitute the primary material for Ottoman literary historiography. 186,444 manuscripts are registered in Turkey alone, and these manuscripts were nationalized by the Republic of Turkey through the liquidation of vakf library collections. This vast manuscript heritage was used to construct a national identity, especially in the early years of the republic. The aim and scope of this study is to discuss the historiographical problems that emerged during this process of nation-building. They continue to have an impact today through the influential opinions of the field's founding figures.

Afropäische Ästhetiken
Authors: Oholi Jeannette
Published: September 2024

Schwarze Menschen, ihre Geschichten, Erfahrungen und Künste sind seit Jahrzehnten, wenn nicht gar Jahrhunderten, Teil Europas. Doch warum bekommen Schwarze Autor*innen in den Literaturwissenschaften immer noch nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit? Jeannette Oholi rückt in ihrem Buch erstmalig Schwarze europäische Literatur des 21. Jahrhunderts in den Fokus. Sie argumentiert gattungsübergreifend, dass in literarischen Texten aus Deutschland, Frankreich und England das dominante Narrativ eines weißen ›Europäischseins‹ durch plurale Schwarze Identitätsentwürfe unterwandert wird. Dabei wird deutlich: Die pluralen afropäischen Ästhetiken, die in den literarischen Texten produziert werden, zeichnen sich durch Bewegungen, Verbindungen und Uneindeutigkeiten aus und entziehen sich somit einer verengten Lesart.

Published: September 2024

Was verbinden Menschen eigentlich - jenseits populistischer Nationenbeschwörungen - mit Deutschland? Astrid Utler befragt dazu Menschen mit und ohne Fluchterfahrung, die mithilfe einer Kamera ihre Perspektiven bildlich festgehalten haben. In den aufgekommenen Themen Fürsorge, Freiheit, Diversität und Integration werden vielfältige Differenzlinien sichtbar. Unter theoretischer Weiterentwicklung des Stereotypen- und Bildbegriffs zeigt sich: Die Deutschlandbilder sind weitaus differenzierter, veränderbarer und positiver, als Populist*innen gemeinhin glauben machen wollen.

Qual 25 de Abril, qual Portugal, 50 anos depois? Questões de colonialidade na literatura portuguesa após 1974
Authors: Guimarães Franco Roberta
Published: September 2024

Ao longo dos cinquenta anos que nos separam da Revolução dos Cravos, o constructo "Pós-25 de abril" foi amplamente aceito, transformando a Revolução e, consequentemente, o fim do Estado Novo, em um marco incontornável na história portuguesa contemporânea. As mudanças políticas ficaram imediatamente evidentes depois de 1974 - redemocratização após 48 anos de um regime totalitário, descolonização dos territórios africanos, nova constituição -, mas a noção de que a vida portuguesa foi profundamente alterada tornou-se de tal forma um lugar comum que fórmulas como o "Pós-25 de Abril" chegam a substituir noções como "contemporâneo", "recente", "fim do século XX". No entanto, é possível afirmar que a Revolução não só mudou o regime político, mas também transformou efetivamente a sociedade portuguesa? Este texto, parte das reflexões realizadas no âmbito do projeto "A longa duração do pós-25 de abril: testemunho, pós-memória e pós-migração na narrativa portuguesa contemporânea", financiado pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), toma a literatura portuguesa contemporânea após a Revolução como ponto de partida para refletir sobre a manutenção de uma mentalidade colonialista.
"A guerra no bolso": Das portugiesische Theater als Gedächtnis-Bühne
Authors: Sartingen Kathrin
Published: September 2024

Kathrin Sartingen beschäftigt sich mit der Frage der Neuverhandlung von portugiesischer Zeitgeschichte in Literatur und Theater. Der 25. April 1974 brachte Freiheit für alle, Unabhängigkeit für viele, und Verachtung für einen Großteil der Beteiligten: Den retornados und retornadas (die weibliche Form war nicht angedacht.) schlug im Zuge des rasanten Dekolonisierungsprozesses in Portugal Hass und Diskriminierung entgegen. Deren fiktionale Inszenierung im zeitgenössischen portugiesischen Theater ebenso wie in (semi-)fiktionalen Autobiographien steht im Zentrum des Beitrags. Diese Erinnerungsnarrationen lassen neue Lesarten erkennen, die die kolonialgeschichtlichen Beziehungen und ihre komplexen Auswirkungen vielschichtig aufarbeiten und zu einer Neudeutung der Nelkenrevolution beitragen. Am Beispiel der autofiktionalen Texte von Dulce Maria Cardoso (O Retorno, 2011 und Autobiografia não autorizada 2, 2023 ) und Isabela Figueiredo (Caderno de Memórias coloniais, 2009) sowie des Theaterstücks Um gajo nunca mais é a mesma coisa (2021) von Rodrigo Francisco soll den Dekolonisierungsprozessen aus Sicht der retornados und retornadas nachgegangen werden, sowohl in Hinblick auf deren Rolle (Täter oder vielmehr Opfer?) im Unabhängigkeitsprozess als auch bezüglich der inszenierten Neuverhandlung von Erinnerungen. Letztlich geht es um eine Revision der portugiesischen Geschichtsschreibung aus dekolonialer Perspektive in der Literatur und auf der Bühne, um zu sehen, ob beim Fallen des Vorhangs die Nelken noch verdient sind.
As políticas educacionais voltadas ao ensino de Filosofia no Novo Ensino Médio: um estudo a partir da rede de ensino do estado de Alagoas
Authors: Silva Roberto Ribeiro da , Botler Alice Miriam Happ
Published: September 2024

Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar as políticas educacionais voltadas ao ensino da Filosofia. A partir de um estudo de caso na Rede Estadual de Ensino no Estado de Alagoas, em que foi selecionada uma Gerência Regional, coletaram-se dados com professores de Filosofia a respeito de suas inquietações no cotidiano das escolas de Tempo Integral. Partiu-se da suposição de que a Filosofia, reconhecida como uma disciplina responsável pela formação cidadã dos jovens escolarizados, poderia representar um auxílio ao diálogo entre os saberes comunitários no entorno da escola. No entanto, os dados analisados mostram que o lugar da Filosofia no processo de implantação do denominado “Novo Ensino Médio” não tem tido espaço para esse fim, sendo, portanto, considerada ineficaz.

Published: September 2024

No contexto de disputa entre atores defensores da educação superior como direito, de um lado, e como mercadoria, de outro, o presente artigo trata da mudança do SINAES, em 2017. A análise apoiou-se no referencial do Pentágono das Políticas Públicas (PPP) e do Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) e se utilizou da coleta de um farto rastro documental que consigna amplamente as discussões que conduziram até a mudança. Restou evidenciado que a mudança decorrente da ação pública da coalizão privatista utilizou o seu conhecimento técnico nas suas interações no subsistema da referida política pública para promover uma mudança institucional que resultou na acomodação de parte importante dos seus interesses, dificultando a efetivação da educação superior como um direito.
O discurso de “gestão de resultados” na 1ª gestão do Partido Novo (2019-2022): “nova” retórica conservadora e o fortalecimento do SIMAVE
Authors: Vidigal Jaqueline Barros , Pereira Maria Simone Ferraz
Published: September 2024

O presente trabalho explora como o programa de Gestão Integrada da Escola (GIDE) e o Sistema Mineiro de Avaliação e Equidade da Educação Pública (SIMAVE) evidenciam mecanismos da reforma empresarial da educação, tais quais a padronização, a ênfase nos resultados por meio da avaliação e do gerencialismo na educação pública mineira, especialmente na 1ª gestão (2019-2022) do Partido Novo. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, de cunho bibliográfico e documental. As principais fontes bibliográficas utilizadas incluem aporte teórico de Freitas (2018), Ball (2005), Laval (2004) e Gentili (1998). Foram analisados documentos oficiais divulgados pelo governo acerca do SIMAVE e da GIDE. Nos limites do trabalho, é possível identificar que o governo, sob o discurso de gestão de resultados, tem concretizado políticas educacionais baseadas na parceria pública privada, na lógica gerencialista e fortalecido o SIMAVE para atender às demandas políticas e econômicas da qualidade educacional.

Published: September 2024

Temos como pressuposto que o processo de Avaliação Institucional Participativa (AIP) se constitui como uma instância estratégica para viabilizar a qualidade social das escolas públicas.  O objetivo da pesquisa é identificar a linha do tempo do processo de implementação da AIP das escolas públicas da região noroeste do município de Campinas e verificar as condições objetivas de funcionamento. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados foram a pesquisa bibliográfica e a pesquisa documental. Identificamos que a trajetória da AIP aponta obstáculos, mas também potencialidades de vivências democráticas pelos atores envolvidos. A política de AIP, ao longo dos sucessivos governos, passou a sofrer resistência à aceleração, mas vem sendo mantida e foi ampliada para a Educação Infantil também. As condições objetivas das escolas apontam a necessidade de reformas e melhorias de infraestrutura e contratação de profissionais da educação para atender as demandas da comunidade escolar e avançar na  qualidade social ofertada para os estudantes.

Published: September 2024

Studies on energy exchange in ecosystems are critical for understanding carbon flows amid different vegetation patterns. In semi-arid areas, comprehending the variability in carbon absorption is essential for quantifying and anticipating the impacts of changes in the caatinga ecosystem. This study aims to calibrate and evaluate models for Gross Primary Production (GPP), Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), and Ecosystem Respiration (Reco) in the caatinga biome. NEE measurements were obtained and calculated at 30-minute intervals using EddyPro 3.6 software, from raw data measured at 10 Hz. GPP was estimated by partitioning NEE and Reco, all measured in micromoles of CO2 per square meter per second (μmol CO2m⁻²s⁻¹) using the eddy covariance (EC) tower, installed in a legal reserve at Embrapa Semiárido, in Petrolina, Pernambuco, within a section of the caatinga canopy. Following the measurement of carbon fluxes and ecosystem respiration, field measurements were conducted using a portableFieldSpec HandHeld spectroradiometer to obtain the reflectance of the canopy around the turbulent eddy covariance tower. These measurements were carried out in 2015 in a preserved caatinga area. Multiple linear regression models weredeveloped to estimate carbon fluxes from orbital images, enabling accurate estimation of GPP, NEE, and Reco, using the MODIS/Terra Daily Surface Reflectance product (MOD09GA). The primary results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed models, particularly the GPP model, which exhibited the best statistical indices (R = 0.97; R² = 0.95; Root Mean Square Error = 0.20). Observations from the EC tower indicated that the models developed to estimate NEE, GPP, and Reco, using visible and near-infrared reflectance data, accurately represented the dry period and effectively captured the phenological aspects of the caatinga ecosystem.
What do we know about biocrust lichens in Argentina? A comprehensive review and new records
Authors: Filippini Edith R. , Díaz Dominguez Raúl E. , García Renato A. , Gallinger Micaela , Mlewski E. Cecilia
Published: September 2024

Lichens are among the most distinctive and colorful organisms found in biological soil crusts (biocrusts). Along with cyanobacteria, green algae, and bryophytes, they inhabit the top few millimeters of the soil surface, forming the living skin of the soil. They cover large areas of the planet's arid and semiarid regions, as well as degraded terrestrial ecosystems in other regions. Although global studies of biocrusts have tripled in the last two decades, South America remains one of the least studied continents. In Argentina, ecological studies of biocrusts are increasing, but knowledge of the taxonomic diversity of the lichens that comprise them remains limited. Therefore, it is crucial to increase studies on terrestrial lichens, which, although often inconspicuous, may be more abundant than previously thought. To contribute to the knowledge of biocrust lichens taxonomy in Argentina, we proposed to 1) perform a bibliographic review of the works that reported species lists to confirm and update the taxonomic nomenclature and distribution, and 2) expand knowledge in less studied regions through the study of specimens from central Argentina. The results reveal that between 2002 and 2022, 78 crust-forming lichen species were recorded in Argentina. The richest family was Verrucariaceae, along with Collemataceae, Peltulaceae, and Lichinaceae distributed in the northern, western, and central-southern regions of the country, mainly in the arid and semiarid areas of Mendoza, San Juan, Neuquén, and San Luis. The most common lichen species found in the crusts were Placidium squamulosum, Endocarpon pusillum, Enchylium tenax, Peltula obscurans, and Psora decipiens, in descending order. We have expanded this lichen diversity with three new species records for Argentina: Gloeoheppia erosa, Heppia adglutinata, and Heteroplacidium divisum, as well as the distribution of Enchylium coccophorum, Peltula obscurans, Placidium squamulosum, and Psora icterica in the central region of the country. In this way, we hope that this study can serve as a starting point for future research on lichen composition in soil crusts.
Increasing customer equity through customer relationships on social media
Authors: Febrian Angga , Roslina R , Wibasuri Anggalia , Yopita Y
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to propose and test a model of the influence of customer relationships on increasing customer equity, which has implications for consumer purchase intentions of retail products influenced by social media. We sent an online questionnaire to 476 respondents. Data analysis used the AMOS 24 structural equation modeling approach with the stages of measurement models and structural models of hypothesis testing. The study's results explain that the three factors forming a customer relationship can affect an increase in customer equity. Of the three dimensions, only brand equity can increase consumer purchase intentions. Meanwhile, value equity and relationship equity have negative results on purchase intention. Online sales through social media not only focus on the products offered but also require building brand equity, which determines consumer purchase intentions.
The effect of internal control, integrated report and external assurance on SOE’s market value: the moderating role of board representation

Published: September 2024

This research was motivated by the expansion of businesses and enthusiasm of market participants regarding the fluctuating value of the market itself. The goal of this study is to test, analyze, and find empirical evidence of the impact of internal control, integrated report, and external assurance on market value, with board representation serving as a moderator. The sample of this study were collected using purposive sampling method from Indonesia state owned enterprises (SOEs) from 2017 to 2021 which listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Analysis using multiple linear regression analysis finds that internal control has a negative effect and external assurance has a positive effect that significant on market value, while the integrated report has no effect on market value. Board representation as a moderation variable weakens the negative relationship between internal control and market value, but it cannot strengthen the positive relationship between external assurance and market value, and it has no effect on the relationship between integrated report and market value.

Rhizoctonia blight disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani in groundnut crop is one of the most devastating diseases occurring worldwide. The disease affects the morphological and physiological parameters of the crop leading to reduction in pod yield as well as oil yield. The pathogen was isolated locally and identified as Rhizoctonia solani based on molecular characterization. The efficacy of different bioagents in reducing the radial growth of pathogen was tested in vitro and highest mycelia growth inhibition was recorded by Trichoderma asperellum (89.07 %). Among the fungicides tested, 100 % mycelial growth inhibition was observed by use of Carbendazim 50 WP, Tebuconazole 25.9 % EC, Hexaconazole 5 % suspension concentrate (SC) and Tebuconazole 50 % + Trifloxystrobin 25 % water-dispersible granule (WG). Among different organic substances tested in vitro, neem seed cake achieved maximum mycelial growth inhibition of 50.74 % and 54.08 % at 10 % and 20 % concentrations respectively. In the field experiment, treatment with application of neem seed cake to the soil at 500 kg/ha + application of mustard seed cake to the soil at 500 kg/ha + treatment of seeds with Tebuconazole at 1.5 g/kg of seed + treatment of seeds with T. asperellum at 10 g/kg of seed was found to be the best in enhancing plant health, growth promotion and oil yield. The combined treatment of bioagent, fungicide and organic amendment recorded maximum number of branches (14.00), number of leaves (668.33), plant dry weight (64.17 g), 100 pod weight (65.00 g) and oil yield (47.33 %) compared to the control and other treatments along with reduction of the disease (59.61 %). In the physiological parameters study, the same treatment also recorded maximum pigment contents viz. Chlorophyll a (1.843 mg/g), Chlorophyll b (0.555 mg/g), total chlorophyll (2.397 mg/g) and carotenoid content (0.084 mg/g) but with minimum phenol content (1.693 mg/g). Thus, it can be concluded that integration of selective inputs in the combined treatment of Neem seed cake, Mustard seed cake, Tebuconazole and T. asperellum could enhance the plant health, morphological growth and physiological parameters and increased the oil yield in groundnut along with reduction of the disease.
#フィリピンママあるある (#firipinmamaaruaru): (Re)presentations of Motherhood in Japanese-Filipino Children’s TikTok Videos
Authors: Tan Joy Ann Faith F.
Published: September 2024

Digital media sites, such as TikTok, are promising spaces that have recently been explored as timely and accessible spaces for analyzing gender, agency, and the wider representation of mixed roots families in Japan. With Japan and the Philippines’ differences in gendered norms, there is an incongruity between the real-life experiences of Japanese Filipino children (henceforth written as JFC) vis-à-vis the gendered expectations and views on motherhood in Japan. This gap is explored through a sample of ten comedic TikTok videos where young JFC users (re)present their Filipino mothers’ identities via the hashtag #firipinmamaaruaru. Using a digital content analysis of their videos, this paper examines JFC’s experiences and perceptions of their Filipino mothers. The analysis shows how Filipino mothers are (re)presented in their children’s videos as bound by the gendered norms of motherhood in Japan. The humor in JFC’s posts points out the reality that their representations of their mothers are not the standard desirable qualities of motherhood as expected in Japan.
Morphological discrimination of fouling Ulva and Blidingia species on Pyropia rafts in Rudong, China: an in-field protocol for early monitoring of algae forming the Yellow Sea green tide

Fouling seaweeds on nori cultivation rafts in Subei radial sand ridges (Jiangsu, China) are believed to be the source of the Yellow Sea green tide (YSGT). Although major species are consistent across years, their biomass and proportions undergo significant annual changes, which was speculated to be related to the size of YSGT. Therefore, early detection and biomass assessment of the bloom-forming algae are crucial, increasing the need to develop a morphological identification method suitable for large sample sizes in the field. In this study, fouling seaweeds were collected from this area in spring 2017. Five major species, Ulva aragoënsis, Ulva compressa, Ulva linza, Ulva prolifera, and Blidingia sp. were molecularly identified, and confirmed as the predominant fouling seaweeds on nori rafts over the past decade. In this unique ecological niche, the morphological features of species changed significantly yet stably. Based on morphological observations, an identification key for these five species was established. Furthermore, a simplified version containing only two indices was developed for practical field use, with an average accuracy of 81 % (δ
2 = 0.003) in empirical accuracy assessments. This method can be used to monitor the community structure and succession of fouling seaweeds at the geographical source of YSGT.

Force feedback is currently missing in most surgical robot systems, even though it would be essential for many surgical tasks, such as palpating tissue. In this study, we used a previously developed robotic endoscope based on series elastic actuation and tested the feasibility of using it for force feedback with a pilot study. The participants had a lower test time (−27%) and lower applied forces (−23%) with force feedback enabled. While further studies are needed for validation in realistic surgical scenarios, these results suggest improved safety and efficiency in telemanipulated surgeries.

Knowledge of contact forces between instruments and blood vessels during endovascular interventions like thrombectomies can help make these interventions safer and faster. We show that it is generally feasible to derive the contact forces directly from the intraoperative fluoroscopy imaging system which can make the costly integration of additional sensors into catheters and guidewires dispensable. Our study is limited to stationary normal loading and planar deflections. In our loading scenario of crossing the carotid siphon with a guidewire, the magnitude of contact forces can be detected up to an average deviation of 4.5 % for an imagebased pose measurement accuracy of the guidewire of 1 mm.

Published: September 2024

This work presents a novel approach for detecting underlying pulsatile structures with laparoscopic tools by using proximal vibroacoustic sensing. This new method could detect pulsations at a depth of up to 1.5 cm. The outcome of this work indicates the potential of identifying deep-seated pulsatile structures during robot-assisted laparoscopy, where haptic feedback is highly limited, to help surgeons prevent vascular damage that may lead to injuries.

Published: September 2024

Robotic assistance systems are being used more and more frequently in the operating room, with the goal to support surgeons and to automate parts of a procedure. The laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures in Germany.We aim to automate the assistant grasp task in this procedure. To achieve this goal, first the grasp points on the gallbladder need to be determined. In this work, we therefore present a statistical shape model fitting to the gallbladder for grasp point determination. Gallbladder and liver point clouds are utilized as inputs. A registration algorithm is used to fit the shape model to the gallbladder mesh. The process is evaluated on three different datasets achieving a successful grasping point identification of 90% for artificially created gallbladders, 100% for our silicon phantom model, and 90% for ex-vivo organs.

Automatic speech recognition (ASR), powered by deep learning techniques, is crucial for enhancing humancomputer interaction. However, its full potential remains unrealized in diverse real-world environments, with challenges such as dialects, accents, and domain-specific jargon, particularly in fields like surgery, persisting. Here, we investigate the potential of large language models (LLMs) as error correction modules for ASR.We leverage Whisper-medium or ASRLibriSpeech for speech recognition, and GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 for error correction.We employ various prompting methods, from zero-shot to few-shot with leading questions and sample medical terms to correct wrong transcriptions. Results, measured by word error rate (WER), reveal Whisper’s superior transcription accuracy over ASR-LibriSpeech, with a WER of 11.93% compared to 32.09%. GPT-3.5, with the few-shot with medical terms prompting method, further enhances performance, achieving a 64.29% and 37.83% WER-reduction for Whisper and ASR-LibriSpeech, respectively. Additionally, Whisper exhibits faster execution speed. Substituting GPT-3.5 with GPT- 4 further enhances transcription accuracy. Despite some few challenges, our approach demonstrates the potential of leveraging domain-specific knowledge through LLM prompting for accurate transcription, particularly in sophisticated domains like surgery.

Published: September 2024

This study developed and evaluated a prototype for augmented reality (AR) interaction among multiple users sharing a three-dimensional hologram within a shared physical space. A systems requirements analysis was conducted to determine necessary interactions, followed by an iterative implementation plan with testing at each step. The application for the HoloLens 2 (HL2) headset was developed using Unity for 3D design, C# for programming, and Photon for multiplayer capabilities. The prototype was evaluated in a user study utilizing custom and NASA TLX questionnaires, comparing participants' self-reported task success with recorded data to assess the accuracy of selfassessments. The prototype effectively facilitated multi-user interactions within a shared environment, achieving acceptable synchronization for two users. Most participants successfully completed tasks, with TLX scores indicating low cognitive and mechanical load during AR task execution. This study demonstrates AR's viability for displaying and manipulating complex three-dimensional structures within a collaborative medical context among multiple individuals in the same physical space.
