Komunikasi Pembangunan sebagai Model Pemberdayaan di Taman Wisata Bur Telege Aceh Tengah
Authors: Sa'adah Nur , Bungsu Agung Pangeran
Published: September 2024

Participatory development communication is a communication model that is adaptive to various social conditions of the community. One of them is the Bur Telege tourist park located in Hakim Bale Bujang village, Takengon city, Central Aceh. Bur Telege was established due to the local community's concerns about the high level of violations of Islamic law that occurred, the second reason being the difficulty of finding employment at this time. An interesting thing to study is of course because the Bur Telege tourist park is managed directly by the Village-Owned Enterprise BUMD which works together to find the best solution to the problems faced. This study will try to review how development communication is used to empower the local community. Four pillars were found until finally the empowerment model used can be stimulated. Starting from the preparation of the vision and mission of the Bur Telege tourist park, then continued with a common perception, promotion, education and motivation, then continued with the institutionalization stage, then entered the support mobilization stage and finally the action stage.

Authors: Arief S. Arman
Published: September 2024

Albert Camus (1913-1960) was an Algerian-French thinker who is heralded for his extensive work on the human experience of 'the now'. The question of existence, of whether there is meaning to life or otherwise is explained with great enthusiasm in his works, The Plague, The Stranger, The Myth of Sisyphu', and Letters to a German Friend, among others. This essay seeks to reconcile the incessant search for meaning in human beings with the motivations of martyrs who carry out suicide attacks across the globe, thus arguably justified in their actions. By means of this text, it is with sincere hope that the lessons extracted from Camus’ work be used to facilitate act of kindness between people near and far.

Financial Development and Poverty in Selected West African Countries: A Mediating Role of Institutional Quality
Authors: Akintunde T.S.
Published: September 2024

This study examines the dynamic relationship between financial development (FD),
institutional quality (INS), and poverty (POV) to determine whether financial
development can either reduce or exacerbate poverty while including the mediating
role of institutional quality in selected West African countries from 1986–2021.
However, the study used the cross-sectional augmented-autoregressive distributed
lags (CS-ARDL) technique and the second-generation unit root (CADF and CIPS)
test for stationarity due to the cross-sectional dependence in the series. The results
showed that FD has a positive (non-significant) impact on POV in the short run and
a negative (statistically non-significant) in the long term. In contrast, INQ and POV
have a negative (statistically non-significant) and inverse relationship. FD*INS has a
negative coefficient in the short run and a positive in the long term; this implies that
FD and INQ complement and substitute each other in the short and long term,
respectively. The study shows that GDP per capita and government expenditure
positively impact poverty in the short run, indicating the effectiveness of expansionary
policy in reducing poverty. The study suggests improving governance and regulatory
institutions to boost financial sector growth and enhance welfare for low-income
people by providing easy access to finance.

Fine frequency structure of interstellar scintillation pattern in radio emission of the PSR B1133+16 at 111 MHz
Authors: Popov M. V. , Smirnova T. V.
Published: September 2024

The B1133+16 pulsar was observed at a frequency of 111 MHz with the LPA PRAO radio telescope from October 2022 to March 2023. Observations were made twice a week for two days in a row. In total 38 measurements of the scattering parameters were carried out with a high frequency resolution (up to 65 Hz). We used continuous recording of voltage in the frequency band 2.5 MHz with 8-bit digitization. The signal was reconstructed using the coherent dedispersion method. Dynamic spectra (DSP) were constructed for each observing session. Then, for each DSP, we calculated a two-dimensional autocorrelation function (2DACF) and analyzed its frequency and time sections. We have studied the fine frequency structure of pulsar scintillations by analyzing both the dynamic spectra, and the spectra of individual pulses. It has been found that the intrinsic shape of diffraction distortion on average can be represented by a sharp two-sided function with a characteristic frequency width of 1–2 kHz. The long-term variability of the following parameters has been carefully studied: characteristic scales in frequency and time (fdifandtdif), and rotation measureRM. Based on the analysis of long-term variations, it is suggested that the true frequency form of scintillations may be distorted by ionospheric effects. We also compared the scintillation parameters separately for the two mean profile components, and no differences between the parameters were found.
Adiabatic spectrum of radio emission of plasma clouds, emitted by the Sun during solar flares, and inhomogeneities of the spectrum of radio emission of clouds
Authors: Dravskikh А. F. , Dravskikh Yu. A.
Published: September 2024

It is known that so-called solar flares systematically occur in the area of sunspots. They are accompanied by radiation in almost all frequency ranges and sometimes by the emission of hot plasma. Observations on the RATAN-600 radio telescope have shown that the radio emission spectrum of plasma clouds heated to values of the order of 106K erupted from the solar flare region turned out to be adiabatic. The high correlation of the inhomogeneities of the radio emission spectra of active formation over a group of sunspots indicates the stable presence of recombination radio lines in the radiation of active formation. However, the radio emission spectra of hot plasma clouds ejected from the region of solar flares occurring in this group of spots do not show any correlation.

Published: September 2024

UBVR polarimetric observations of 12 main-belt mostly primitive asteroids located near perihelion heliocentric distances were carried out from December 2022 to April 2023 with Zeiss-2000 telescope at the Terskol Peak observatory. The purpose of the monitoring program wasto search for changes in the polarimetric parameters of the asteroids caused by possible sublimation-dust activity, as a result of which the formation of rarefied dust exospheres of asteroids is possible. The objects of the program were asteroids: (1) Ceres, (53) Kalypso, (117) Lomia, (164) Eva, (214) Ashera, (324) Bamberga, (419) Aurelia, (505) Cava, (554) Peraga, (654) Zelinda, (704) Interamnia, (1021) Flammario. Polarimetric observations of asteroids (117) Lomia, (164) Eva and (505) Kava were made for the first time, the remaining asteroids were observed earlier. Only for two asteroids (1) Ceres and (704) Interamnia, according to spectrophotometric observations, temporal spectrophotometric variability was noted earlier. Analysis of temporal changes in the degree of polarization of asteroids and comparison of the results of observations with the data available in the literature showed that the stability of the observed degree of polarization is comparable with measurement errors of ~(0.02–0.1)% for asteroids of different brightness. Thus, during the observation period, no noticeable polarization signs of temporary sublimation-dust activity of the observed asteroids were detected. Additionally, it is shown that the currently existing variants of the spectral taxonomy of asteroids, based on spectrophotometric data and albedo, demonstrate a significant scattering of the selected classes when compared with their polarimetric phase dependencies.The asteroid (554) Peraga has been confirmed to have a negative degree of polarization at angles less than the inversion angle. Measurements of the polarization of the asteroid (1) Ceres in a wide range of wavelengths did not confirm the previously suspected change in the angle of the polarization plane with the wavelength.

Geochemical Features of Organo-Accumulative Soils of Subtaiga and Subtaiga-Forest-Steppe Light Coniferous Forests of Northern Mongolia
Authors: Krasnoshchekov Yu. N.
Published: September 2024

Geochemical features of organo-accumulative (Eutric Regosols (Laomic, Ochric), Cambic Someric Phaeozems (Loamic)) soils widely distributed in the soil cover of the subtaiga and subtaiga-forest-steppe light coniferous forests forming the lower boundary of the forest belt in the mountain structures of Northern Mongolia are considered. Data on the microelement composition of soil-forming rocks are given. It was found that the paragenetic association of trace elements in them is represented by Pb, Cu, Zn, Co, V, Cr, Ni, Mn, Mo, Ba, Sr, Zr and B. It was found that, compared with the average content in the lithosphere within the subtaiga and subtaiga-forest-steppe forest-growing belt, the residual and re-deposited weathering crusts of igneous rocks are enriched with Zn, Cr, Mo, B, at the same time they contain less Pb, Co, Mn, Ba, Sr, Zr. The residual and re-deposited weathering crusts of carbonate rocks are enriched with Pb, Cu, Zn, V, Cr, Sr, B, they contain little Co, Ni, Mn, Mo, Ba, Zr. Data on the morphological structure of soils, their physico-chemical and chemical properties, as well as on the content of trace elements and their radial distribution in the soils under consideration are discussed. The data obtained indicate the accumulation of most trace elements in the surface organogenic and humus-accumulative horizons of soils, which is associated with both the heterogeneity of soil-forming rocks and the influence of soil processes that cause the accumulative redistribution of elements and their deposition on organo-sorption and carbonate geochemical barriers. It is shown that the studied soils differ not only in the absolute values of trace elements involved in the biological cycle, but also in the intensity of their involvement in biogenic migration.

METADISCOURSE MARKERS IN INTRODUCTION SECTION OF MASTER THESES IN ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY OF BENGKULU
Authors: Ledy Neris Mayang , Syafryadin Syafryadin , Sujarwati Iis
Published: September 2024

Metadiscourse refers to the language elements that writers or speakers use to organize, guide, and comment on their text, helping readers understand the structure and connect ideas. This study investigates the critical role of metadiscourse markers in the introduction sections of master's theses, focusing on how these markers enhance clarity and organization, making the text more accessible and engaging. The research aimed to analyze the types and frequencies of both interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers in the introductions of theses by students in the English Education Study Program at Bengkulu University. A mixed-methods approach was employed to analyze 30 introduction sections. The findings show that writers predominantly use interactive markers, especially transitions (70.7%), evidentials (11.7%), and frame markers (8.3%), more than interactional markers like hedges (52.2%) and engagement markers (24.8%). The frequent use of transition markers suggests a focus on guiding readers through the text rather than direct engagement. These results underscore the importance of metadiscourse markers in creating a well-structured and persuasive introduction. Mastering these markers can significantly enhance the quality of academic writing. Future research could extend this analysis to other thesis sections or different academic contexts.

The influence of planting density on the oil and fatty acids content of soybean in hydroponic and soil conditions of the Ararat Valley
Authors: Mairapetya Stepan , Tadevosyan Anna , Tovmasyan Anahit , Asatryan Armenuhi , Efimenko Sergey , Efimenko Svetlana , Matevosyan Artur
Published: September 2024

Background: Plant seed oils are major renewable resources from nature that can be used in multiple applications. Oils and fats are a vital component of human diets. About 1/3 of the daily energy requirements of a healthy diet come from fats. Each branch of the food industry has its own demands for the fatty acid composition of seed oils. High amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids are a requirement of healthy diets. However, food manufacturers need highly saturated fatty acids because they need oil that is resistant to high temperatures and oxidation. Soybean oil is second only behind palm oil as the most commercially abundant plant oil globally. Soybean has been recognized for its agricultural importance and their various positive effects on human health. 
Objective: to identify the quantitative changes of soybean fatty acids depending on the planting density and growing conditions in the Ararat Valley of Armenia.
Methods: Soybean was grown in hydroponic and soil conditions of the Ararat Valley. The seeds were sown in the middle of April. Experiments were carried out in hydroponic equipment and soil with different planting densities (30, 50, 70 and 90 plants/m2). The oil content was measured by using the pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance method. The composition of fatty acids in seed oil was analyzed by chromatographic method on "Chromatec Crystal 5000" GC. 
Results: Oil content ranged from 19.6% to 24.4% in all variants. The maximum content was registered in soil with 30 plant/m2 planting density. Linoleic acid content ranged from 46.35 to 51.28% of the total fatty acid content, regardless of planting density and growing media. The content of linolenic acid ranged from 4.13 to 5.11% in all variants. The maximum content of ω-3 and the minimal content of ω-9 was recorded in hydroponics at 30 plants/m2 planting density. The highest percentage of stearic acid was observed in the soil variant with a planting density of 30 plants/m2. Interestingly, the variants did not differ in the total content of the 5 main fatty acids (98.84-98.95%). Growing medium had no significant effect on the total saturated fatty acids content; in all variants it ranged from 14.29% to 14.83%. Total unsaturated fatty acids content ranged from 85.2% to 85.7%. The hydroponic variant with a planting density of 30 plants/m2 had the lowest ratio of ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids (10:1). 
Conclusion: Planting density and growing media had a significant influence on the content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.  Under hydroponic conditions the lowest content of monounsaturated and the highest content of polyunsaturated fatty acids were observed at the lowest planting density (30 plants/m2), which can be used as a functional food for daily consumption.
Keywords: Glycine max (L.) Merr., soilless culture, ω-3, ω-6, ω-9, saturated acids.
Word Stress in Santri Utterance: A Comparative Analysis of Acoustic Phonetics
Authors: Salji  , Al Farisi  , Saleh
Published: September 2024

Although word stress in Arabic is not phonemic, proper use can minimize communication ambiguity. This study aims to analyze the production of word stress by students of Arabic as a second language (L2) and compare it with native speakers. This comparative study, involved six second-year students of Madrasah Aliyah as research samples. The research data were collected using listening, recording, and note-taking techniques. Then the research data were analyzed using Praat version 6.4.01 to find the stress accurately based on fundamental frequency, duration, and intensity level. The results showed that most L2 learners produced stress correctly on words with light syllables, but incorrectly on heavy and super heavy syllables. On the other hand, the form of word pronunciation also affects stress errors. Words characterized by super heavy syllables and a pause form are typically pronounced with weak stress. In addition, stress errors occur in syllables with double consonants where L2 learners do not apply good enough stress so that they sound like single consonants. These errors occur due to their mother tongue's different word stress systems. The findings are expected to positively impact L2 learners and teachers, by highlighting pronunciation issues, particularly concerning word stress.
A Quantitative Text Analysis of China’s Central and Local Governments’ Construction Waste Management Policies : Focusing on the Case of Hefei City, China
Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Zhen Dongdong , Sim Moon-bo
Published: September 2024

This paper uses NVivo 12 Plus software to conduct a quantitative analysis of policy tools, policy objectives, and policy implementation steps from 1996 to 2024, focusing on 33 policy documents related to construction waste at the Chinese central government level. The analysis found that there was (1) an unbalanced allocation of policy objectives, (2) an irrational mix of policy tools, (3) a lack of market participation, and (4) a lack of public engagement and awareness of environmental issues. To improve this, it was suggested that policies should (1) optimize policy objectives, reduce resources, and improve indicators for resource recycling and harmless treatment, (2) promote a circular economy, and (2) optimize policy tools and strengthen market and public participation. In addition, from 2009 to 2023, 17 policy documents related to construction waste issued by Hefei City, a local government in China, were analyzed, and specific challenges and differences faced by local governments in the process of implementing central government policies were analyzed, and improvement plans were suggested. As a result of the analysis, it is suggested that it is necessary to provide new perspectives and innovative approaches to policy formulation and implementation so that sustainable construction waste management policies based on the circular economy can be promoted.
Temporary VAT exemption in Colombia: How did household consumption respond?
Authors: Arango Luis E. , Flórez Luz A. , Marín N. Johana , Posada Carlos E.
Published: September 2024

This paper analyzes whether the policy of VAT exemption days, implemented in Colombia between 2020 and 2022 for some products and merchandise lines, had a positive effect on the consumption of such exempted goods. The evidence shows an intertemporal substitution in consumption of the items that benefited from the VAT exemption policy around the months when the policy came into effect; that is, purchases of these goods decreased in the months before and after the month of the VAT-free day, on which purchases increased. Moreover, we find that the VAT exemption days have a transitory positive effect on the items covered by the policy compared with those not covered. In terms of prices, we also find evidence of a transitory reduction in prices.
Soluble carbohydrates in soybean - discovery of novel genetic resources and evaluation of known mutations
Authors:   , Lee Dongho
Published: September 2024

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is the leading protein meal source, primarily used to feed non-ruminant animals, such as poultry and swine. Additionally, soy products have garnered huge popularity as a high-quality plant-based protein source in vegetarian diets worldwide. Among soluble carbohydrates, sucrose positively impacts feed efficiency and the natural sweetness of soy products. In contrast, raffinose and stachyose (RFOs) create unpleasant intestinal conditions and reduce feed efficiency in non-ruminant animals. Therefore, this research focused on three main topics, including i) the identification of novel genetic resources for high sucrose and low stachyose content via genome-wide association study (GWAS), ii) the discovery of novel quantitative trait loci (QTL) and variants for high sucrose content via QTL mapping, and iii) the evaluation of environmental stability and genetic effect of soybean lines differing in allele combinations between raffinose synthase (RS) and D-myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase 1 (MIPS1) mutations for soluble carbohydrates. Through GWAS, seven significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for sucrose content were identified across chromosomes (Chrs.) 2, 8, 12, 17, and 20, whereas 13 significant SNPs for stachyose content were identified across Chrs. 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15. Among the candidate genes, Glyma.08g361200 and Glyma.17g258100 for sucrose content and Glyma.05g025300 and Glyma.13g077900 for stachyose content were highlighted based on functional annotations, protein-protein interactions, and RNA-seq Atlas database. For QTL mapping, a high sucrose germplasm, PI 506593, was selected from the previous GWAS analysis and used as a donor parent in two bi-parental mapping populations. The QTL mapping pinpointed a major QTL region on Chr. 8 at the physical interval of 40,597,410 -- 42,861,364 bp. The whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis using parental lines identified unique variants in 31 candidate genes within the major QTL region based on Wm82.a2.v1 and Wm82.a5.v1 reference genomes. Among those candidate genes, Glyma.08g294300, Glyma.08g297000, and Glyma.08g300400 were closely associated with sucrose metabolism. Lastly, the environmental stability test and overall genetic effects of known mutant lines for high sucrose and low RFOs demonstrated that the mips1 mutant lines had significantly higher sucrose and lower RFOs content than other lines with rs2 and rs3 mutations across the environments. The three different germination tests showed that the germination rates of mutant lines with rs2W331- and mips1 mutations were either statistically similar or significantly greater than the check. Given the limited genetic resources and functional germplasms for desirable soluble carbohydrate profiles, this research provided valuable genetic information to maximize animal feed efficiency and market preference for soy products.

There is a lack of information regarding strategic planning within athletic departments at the NCAA Division II level. A survey of all 306 NCAA Division II directors of athletics was implemented to provide up-to-date data. The investigation focused on the prevalence of strategic plans within athletic departments at the NCAA Division II level and a polling of NCAA Division II directors of athletics regarding the perceived impact that strategic planning has had or would have on their departments. Results showed that 57 percent of NCAA Division II athletic departments have developed a formal strategic plan. Typical components of these plans include written objectives and goals, mission statements, written values, and vision statements. Survey results show that directors of athletics who have strategic plans believe the impact strategic planning had on their departments is stronger than the impact perceived to occur by directors of athletics without strategic plans. A statistical analysis did not show any significant impact that strategic planning has on points earned by NCAA Division II athletic departments in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Director's Cup. The results of this study will add to the literature around athletic departments of traditionally smaller institutions as well as the strategic planning processes of athletic departments to aid directors of athletics and other administrators to impact their organizations through strategic planning.
Factors that influence BSN student nurse performance in the medication-administration process
Authors:   , Stosberg Tobey Jean
Published: September 2024

Background: Errors in the medication-administration process by nurses are common and can result in serious adverse health outcomes for hospitalized patients. Challenges with competency in this process begin in the student nurse role. Method: This qualitative, descriptive study sought to identify facilitators of success for nursing students in the medication-administration process. Individual interviews were conducted with 14 Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students at two Midwestern universities. Results: Following data analysis, three major themes emerged: (1) student dissatisfaction, (2) student satisfaction, and (3) strategies for success. The three subthemes were (1) a desire for hands-on learning, (2) external strategies for success, and (3) internal strategies for success. Participants perceived that their university nursing curriculum does not necessarily mirror or prepare them for medication administration in the clinical practice setting. Conclusion: Nurse educators should consider incorporating more hands-on learning into BSN curricula so that students can use their medication-administration knowledge in clinical environments. Students want to be held accountable by nurses, professors, and instructors for the knowledge and skills required to succeed in the medication-administration process. Academic institutions and healthcare organizations should work together to formulate strategies to better align BSN medication-administration education with "real-world" clinical practice.
La demystification des pretentions humanistes du colonialisme dans une vie de boy et le vieux negre et la medaille de ferdinand oyono

Since late 15th century, Europeans have conquered the world based on evangelization and civilization. According to their ideology, Africans, Caribbeans and other indigenous people were savages in need of Christianization and civilization. Soon their mission became the full-scale exploitation of this population. The treatment they inflicted on them was inhumane, and many people criticized and rejected colonialism through various means, including the tip of the pen. Oyono wrote two novels in the same year. He paints a dark picture of colonialism and its impact on the characters. These are always represented in terms of characteristics, attributes, or characteristics of an animal or thing. This brings us to the jungle where human values disappear. In other words, colonialism dehumanized people.
Using the elaboration likelihood model to predict the effects of interactive data visualizations about STI testing
Authors:   , Freijat Julie Christine
Published: September 2024

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections spread by sexual contact. Young adults aged 18 to 24 have a heightened risk of contracting and spreading STIs. Despite higher risk, testing rates among young adults remain low. Thus, STIs are an acute risk for young adult populations. Accordingly, it is vital to strategically communicate the risks of adverse health effects of STIs to young adults and steps to protect against those risks. An innovative way to communicate health information is through data visualizations, which can be made interactive so that users can manipulate the content by clicking, dragging, sliding, or similar functions. Using interactive data visualizations is a novel method to communicate information about healthrelated issues. However, there is not research that investigates how interactive data visualizations influence how young adults process and respond to messages about STI testing (i.e., STI information messages henceforth). This thesis reports results from an experiment that varied the effects of interactivity in STI information messages. Specifically, a sample of young adult participants (N=206) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: control, static, or interactive. Primary outcomes were elaboration, attention, attitudes toward STI testing, and behavioral intentions to get tested for STIs. Together, there were three main findings. First, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that elaboration and attention were each significantly higher in the static and interactive conditions than in the control condition. Second, hierarchical linear regression (HLR) models found that higher levels of attention were associated with higher attitudes toward STI testing. Third, the two-way interaction between condition x elaboration was a predictor for two variables. Specifically, condition x elaboration predicted attitudes toward STI testing, such that as elaboration increased, attitudes toward STI testing increased for participants in the interactive graphic condition. Additionally, condition x elaboration predicted behavioral intentions to get tested for STIs, such that as elaboration increased, behavioral intentions to get tested for STIs increased for participants in the interactive condition. In contrast, as elaboration increased, these variables decreased for participants exposed to static graphics. Implications for future research in this area are discussed.
Development and validation of animal models for fracture-related infection

Published: September 2024

Fracture-related infections (FRIs) are a challenging complication in orthopaedics for all people and systems involved. The incidence of these infections is considerably high, particularly in open fractures. FRI management typically involves prolonged antibiotics therapies, irrigation and debridement of the fracture site, and/or implant exchange. Unfortunately, this regimen is often ineffective at infection eradication resulting in poor patient outcomes and inefficient use of healthcare resources such that improved preventative and therapeutic interventions are needed. To effectively address these gaps, valid preclinical animal models for FRIs are needed; the purpose of this thesis was to review, develop, and validate animal models for this condition. First, we systematically reviewed the literature to analyze the translational rigor of the previously utilized preclinical FRI animal models. A variety of methods were utilized to establish an FRI among the 77 articles reviewed. Ultimately, few models incorporated clinically relevant interventions at clinically relevant time points while also validating key components of FRI pathogenesis such as bacterial biofilm on fracture implants. Considering this, we developed and validated preclinical canine models for early-onset FRI of the fibula bone and delayed-onset FRI of the ulna bone. In these models, a proximal fibular or distal ulnar 1 cm ostectomy was established, then internally fixated with plates and screws that were pre-incubated in a 1x105 MRSA suspension. After a period of infection development for 7 days in the early-onset fibular FRI model and 3 weeks in the delayed-onset ulnar FRI model, all animals underwent irrigation and debridement of the fracture site. Validating these models, clinical, bacteriologic, radiographic, and histologic outcomes were assessed. Clinically, all fracture sites displayed consistent evidence of local infection while the animals presented with minimal evidence of systemic infection. Quantitative microbial cultures of fracture-site bone and soft tissue indicated a clinically realistic positive culture rate for MRSA given the respective time points. Implant-associated osteolysis, implant loosening, and delayed union were observed radiographically. Lastly, bacterial biofilms were detected on all animals' fracture implants histologically. Comparatively, the early-onset fibular FRI model involves a bone with a greater soft tissue coverage, whereas the delayed-onset ulnar FRI model involves a bone with greater biomechanical load. Additionally, the early-onset model results a lesser degree of bone healing and osteomyelitis compared to the delayed-onset model. All considered, these animal models provide a translationally accurate approach to test and develop novel, onset-specific strategies aimed at improving outcomes for patients with FRIs.
