Authors: Siligardi Giuliano , Hussain Rohanah , Rovero Paolo , Galoppini Claudia
Published: November 2022

Pl 15 a peptide fragment of hGM-CSFR a-chain was observed to interact selectively to cytokine rhGM-CSF (Kd=35µM) and not to IL-3 in solution by non-immobilised ligand interaction assay (NILIA) by CD spectroscopy in the spectral region characteristic ofTrp aromatic side-chain and disulphide bond chromophores (290-330mn). The information provided by NILIA-CD identified two continuous peptide fragments of GM­ CSF that could be used as a good candidate to bind to GM-CSF receptor a-chain. We propose this approach of combining spectroscopic and crystallographic information to guide the search for receptor ligand.

Published: November 2022

Four new-type TNF mutants, which discriminated between its two receptors R55 and R75, were designed based on the structural model of TNF-receptor complexes. All mutants were purified for competitive binding assay with 1251 wild-type hTNF to the recombinant hTNF-R55 and hTNF-R75 receptors. Two of the four mutants were found to selectively retain most of their binding capacity to one of the receptors, but decreased affinity to other one, significantly as designed.
An Analysis of the Main Causes of Delays in the Completion of Road Construction Projects: A Case Study of Tanzania
Authors: Kullaya Donati Michael , Alemu Muluken Kassahun , Yeom Chun Ho
Published: November 2022

Introduction

Completing road construction projects in time is a challenge for developing countries, specifically for Tanzania, where great economic costs result from difficulties in identifying and reducing the factors that cause the delay.

Methods

This study addresses factors that cause the delay of a road construction project in Tanzania and proposes some methods that could potentially reduce this delay. A structured questionnaire was drawn up through an interactive online workshop with the help of experts and professionals from the road construction sector in Tanzania, and follow-up interviews were conducted.

Results and Discussion

In addition, the first results were analyzed, and the factors identified were combined into five important groups, namely, client-related, consultant-related, contractor-related, design-related, and external factors. These were the main contributing aspects to delays in road construction projects in Tanzania.

Conclusion

Furthermore, from across these groups, six significant causes of delays emerged, and these were inadequate access to finance and delayed payments for completed work, financial problems or difficulties, unwillingness or inability to sustain operations over long periods of non-payment, an unrealistic program of works (Works Schedule), inadequate site management, and political interference.
Remarks on the medical and social models of research in deafness and language development
Authors: Morgan Gary
Published: November 2022

Research on deaf children’s language development has a long and complex history. Work is motivated by seemingly incompatible models of what deafness means. On the one hand, the dominant medical model documents hearing loss and spoken language deficits. Research contributes to continuing improvements in spoken language outcomes following neo-natal screening and early cochlear implants. On the other hand, the smaller number of researchers looking at deafness and language development in the social model have championed the diversity of deaf children, their rights to learn signed languages and be educated in bilingual schools. This paper covers a selection of research studies on deafness and language development coming from both the medical and social models.The main objective of the paper is to offer some remarks concerning a set of standpoints taken by researchers which require more careful discussion in order to further thefield. It concludes with a suggestion for how the two diverging models could convergemore. The proposal is to focus attention on the factors which lead to high quality earlycommunicative interactions rather than access to words or signs.
Production of pronoun gender by children acquiring Russian as a minority language: comparison with the effects of developmental language disorder
Authors: Tribushinina Elena , Mak Pim
Published: November 2022

This paper studies the acquisition of Russian pronominal gender by Dutch-Russian simultaneous bilinguals (4;3-7;11) growing up in the Netherlands. The performance of the bilingual group is compared to that of age-matched monolinguals with and without developmental language disorder (DLD). We hypothesize that reduced exposure toRussian in the minority-language context may lead to delays in language development, comparable to problems attested in DLD (in this case due to reduced intake). The results of a narrative elicitation task demonstrate that both monolingual groups performed at ceiling from age 4 onwards. Monolingual children with DLD were as accurate at using pronominal gender as their unimpaired peers fromthe earliest ages studied, which supports the processing accounts of DLD taking morphological richness of the target language into account. In contrast, 4-year-old bilinguals performed around chance level. The performance of the bilingual group improved with age and reached the monolingual level only by age 7. The results suggest that reduced input has more impact on theacquisition of gender in a morphologically rich language, whereas the possible effects of DLD are no longer visible after age 3.
F0 dynamics associated with prominence realisation in children with hearing impairment
Authors: Genette Jérémy , Verhoeven Jo
Published: November 2022

Prominence in speech is typically realised by means of greater amplitude, duration and F0 of the vowel nucleus in the syllable that carries word/sentence stress. It is well-established that F0 is the more important physical dimension. The present study reports the analysis of F0 in word realisation of two groups of children differing in hearing status. One group consisted of children with hearing impairment, while the other group consisted of age-matched children with normal hearing. The hearing-impaired children had been fitted with either a cochlear implant or a conventional hearing aid. Children had participated in a (non-)word imitation task which consisted of the repetition of monosyllables containing one of the monophthongs of Belgian Standard Dutch. Measurement and analysis of F0 in the vowel nuclei revealed interesting differences between the groups. The children with hearing impairment had the highest overall F0. In terms of the dynamics of F0 associated with prominence, all children correctly realised an underlyingprominence-lending rise-fall pattern which at the phonetic level manifested itself as a falling pitch movement. In addition, the contour in children with a conventional hearing aid was steepest, while it was shallowest in children with a cochlear implant.The contour in children with normal hearing was situated between the two previous groups. The observed differences are attributed to differences in device use. Keywords: prominence, fundamental frequency, prosody, language acquisition, hearingimpairment.

Authors: Vasilevskaya T. M  , Sementsov D. I.  , Shutyi A. M.
Published: November 2022

An additional resonance peak near the effective anisotropy field HKN is identified on the basis of analysis of magnetization precession dynamics of single-domain uniaxial magnetic ellipsoid particle in the spectrum of ferromagnetic resonance, corresponding to bias along the "hard" axis, under longitudinal excitation by a weak high-frequency field. This peak is related to manifestation of the angular bistability arising due-to the presence of two symmetrical angular equilibrium positions of particle magnetization in a field that is weaker than the HKN field. Key words: ferromagnetic resonance, "hard" plane, longitudinal excitation, bistability, effective anisotropy, precession trajectory, high-frequency response.
Parental Factors Associated With Internet Gaming Disorder Among First-Year High School Students: Longitudinal Study
Authors: She Rui , Zhang Youmin , Yang Xue
Published: November 2022

Background

Parents play central roles in adolescents’ socialization, behavioral development, and health, including the development of internet gaming disorder (IGD). However, longitudinal research on the parental predictors of adolescent IGD is limited.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the reciprocal associations between various parental factors and adolescent IGD using 2-wave cross-lagged models.

Methods

A sample of 1200 year-one high school students in central China completed a baseline assessment in 2018 (mean age 15.6 years; 633/1200, 52.8% male) and a follow-up survey in 2019. IGD was measured using the 9-item DSM-5 IGD Symptoms checklist. Perceptions related to parental variables, including psychological control, parental abuse, parental support, and the parent-child relationship, were also collected from the adolescents.

Results

Of all the participants, 12.4% (148/1200) and 11.7% (140/1200) were classified as having IGD at baseline (T1) and follow-up (T2), respectively. All 4 cross-lagged models fit the data well (range for the comparative fit index .91-.95; range for the standardized root mean square residual .05-.06). Parental support (β=–.06, P=.02) and parental abuse (β=.08, P=.002) at T1 predicted IGD symptoms at T2, while parental psychological control (β=.03, P=.25) and a positive relationship with parents (β=–.05, P=.07) at T1 had nonsignificant effects on IGD symptoms at T2, when controlling for background variables. In addition, IGD symptoms at T1 did not predict parental factors at T2.

Conclusions

The findings suggest that parental factors may be significant predictors of adolescent IGD. Health interventions should consider involving parents to increase the effectiveness of treatment to prevent and reduce adolescent IGD.
Usability Evaluation of the Preoperative ISBAR (Identification, Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation) Desktop Virtual Reality Application: Qualitative Observational Study
Authors: Andreasen Eva Mari , Høigaard Rune , Berg Helen , Steinsbekk Aslak , Haraldstad Kristin
Published: November 2022

Background

Systematic communication, such as the ISBAR (identification, situation, background, assessment, recommendation) approach, comprises a generic, transferable nontechnical skill. It can be used during the handover of patients set to undergo surgery and can be practiced in various ways, including virtual reality (VR). VR increasingly has been implemented and valued in nursing education as a positive contribution to teach students about pre- and postoperative nursing. A new nonimmersive 3D learning activity called the Preoperative ISBAR Desktop VR Application has been developed for undergraduate nursing students to learn preoperative handover using the ISBAR approach. However, the usability of this learning activity has not been studied.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate how second-year undergraduate nursing students evaluated the usability of the Preoperative ISBAR Desktop VR Application.

Methods

This was a qualitative study with observation and interviews. The inclusion criteria were undergraduate second-year nursing students of varying ages, gender, and anticipated technological competence. The System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire was used to get a score on overall usability.

Results

A total of 9 second-year nursing students aged 22-29 years participated in the study. The average score on the SUS was 83 (range 0-100), which equals a “B” on the graded scale and is excellent for an adjective-grade rating. The students expressed increased motivation to learn while working in self-instructed desktop VR. Still, a few technical difficulties occurred, and some students reported that they experienced some problems comprehending the instructions provided in the application. Long written instructions and a lack of self-pacing built into the application were considered limitations.

Conclusions

The nursing students found the application to be usable overall, giving it an excellent usability score and noting that the application provided opportunities for active participation, which was motivational and facilitated their perceived learning outcomes. The next version of the application, to be used in a randomized controlled trial, will be upgraded to address technological and comprehension issues.

Authors: Xue Xiaoran , Pan Yuxin , Chen Mingcong , Cao Buzi , Zhao Mingyi , He Qingnan
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Health economics is a branch of economics that focuses on the health sector and related topics both theoretically and practically. Practical medical resources can be maximized through health economics. However, little research has been conducted for comprehensive assessments of publications on health economies.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of health economics in the last decade to quantify the status and trend and aims to guide researchers to potential future research points of value from a global perspective.

METHODS

4163 scientific publications were collected from the Web of Science core collection, including the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Five scientometric tools (Citespacev6.1.R2, VOSviewer, Scimago Graphica, bibliometrix R-package, and Microsoft Excel 2019) were used to perform bibliometric analysis in terms of annual publications, the collaboration of authors, co-citation of authors, source, co-citation of journals, co-citation of references, and co-occurrence of keywords.

RESULTS

From 2012 to 2022, 4163 publications in the field of health economies were published by 21,145 authors who come from 478 institutions in 136 countries/regions. The United States and the United Kingdom produced the most publications, of which the United States maintained the dominant position in health economies, and it is the best practitioner in terms of cooperation; meanwhile, Univ Oxford of Sciences is the most productive institution. Karolinska Inst and Kings Coll London had a high centrality. Schwendicke F published the most papers, while Petrou S, Drummond M, and Augustovski F had the most co-citations. BMJ Open was the top 1 co-cited journal. In the top 10 co-cited references, five co-citation references expand on cost-effectiveness analyses which can be seen as a hotspot. The top 20 keywords, including "care," "impact," and "health," combined with the keywords clustering approach, it is concluded that "quality of life," "impact," and "care" in the process of diseases as well as "public health economy and policy" are hot spots in the field of the health economy.

CONCLUSIONS

Health economics research has been growing steadily over the past decade, with 2018 being a pivotal year for acceleration. The research mainly focuses on the strategic research of policy-making and resource allocation in professional disciplines. Comprehensive methodological research publications are hugely influential and complement mathematics, statistics, and economics with each other. Cost-benefit analysis is an indispensable research tool. Health economics will be a productive and efficient subject in the future.

Published: November 2022

Between November 8 and 10, 2021, a national online conference, The Charter at Forty: From Isolation to Inclusion: Navigating the Post-COVID World, gathered an impressive array of scholars, human rights advocates, community leaders, artists, and policymakers to commemorate and critically assess the four decades since the important occasion of April 17, 1982, when Canada patriated its Constitution and elevated the country’s human rights agenda to constitutional status. With 40 years of hindsight, it is a truism that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has fundamentally changed the Canadian social, political, legal, and cultural landscape. Given the influence of the Charter, its 40th anniversary presents an opportunity to reflect on Canada as a settler colonial state with imperfect features of bilingualism and multiculturalism.

Published: November 2022

The biomedical model for chronic non-communicable dis eases considers that people with the disease must respond automatically to their medical prescription. However, this leads to a confrontation of sick people against their social group since an invisible and controlling force shapes and leads the patient into developing a disposition opposed to their required treatment plan, this element is better known as culture. The purpose of this study is to encourage reflection about the influence of culture in the lack of control regarding this type of diseases. It is proposed to differentiate between disease and illness, calling patient when treating the disease and sufferer when treating the illness. Hence, treating the suf ferer includes considering worries, fears, beliefs, expectations, emotions, and feelings, as well as repercussions of the disease on their life. To proof this statement, the concept of culture is described and conceptualized, as well as its function, and why it is of vital importance to intervene in the socio-cultural context of the sufferer. Keywords: Illness; chronic disease; sufferer; culture.

Published: November 2022

Objectives This study aims to investigate the design thinking research trends in Korea and suggest future research directions. To achieve this purpose, a total of 337 papers related to design thinking published since 2000 were collected. Methods Based on the collected research papers, research trends were examined by year and journal status and research methods, and networks between keyword-related words were analyzed through Big Data analysis program Textom and Ucinet6 NetDraw functions. visualized. In addition, CONCOR analysis was performed to derive similar clusters of derived words. Results The study results are summarized as follows. First, design thinking research began in earnest in mid-2010, and the number of related studies has increased rapidly since then. became Among the 337 studies, quantitative research was the most prominent with 80.7%, followed by theoretical research (11.8%), mixed research (3.85%), and qualitative research (2.67%). Second, through keyword network analysis, the most used Key words were ‘creativity’, ‘convergence’, ‘problem solving’, ‘process’, ‘education’, and ‘learning’. In the cluster through Ucinet6 NetDraw, the defining keyword that refers to design thinking was the main group, and the need for interdisciplinary convergence and justification areas were gathered into the surrounding group. Conclusions The implication of this is that, although related studies are published every year, most studies are still microscopic and one-off program types are the main focus, so from a long-term perspective, reorganization of the curriculum is inevitable, and methodological reliability is required. As can be seen from the textom analysis, design thinking is emphasized in terms of creativity, convergence, and problem solving, and although there is a definition of design thinking in a broad sense, it is standardized in that the implementation method is different depending on the researcher's point of view. Attempts and follow-up studies are needed.

Published: November 2022

Architectural design studios are the crux and core of architecture education. The closure of face-to-face Design studios due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the years 2020 and 2021 has indeed posed a set of challenges to architectural education. Through a rigorous set of research methods, the paper investigates the various possibilities and perspectives of making the challenges into opportunities to rethink, innovate and move on. The paper aims to develop a model for implementing studio-based learning innovative, appropriate, and conducive to covid and post-covid environments. The first objective dealt with in this paper is to find the consensus on the directives to solve and respond to the contemporary challenges of the pandemic for the SBL. The second is to arrive at a toolkit or a model that strategically summarizes the processes for the directives. The School of Architecture, Building, and Design from Taylor’s University Malaysia has been the case study of the investigation. The research methods involved conducting focus group meetings with various stakeholders, such as the Students, Tutors, Studio Coordinators, Program Directors, and the Head of the School. The findings firstly offered a set of shifts in paradigms of SBL and secondly, a toolkit that we named as Design Implementation Model (DIM) for a hybrid studio pedagogy that we envisage and envision to be the future of architectural education.

on natural populations remain poorly understood. We used whole-genome
resequencing data of 167 individuals of the Eurasian blackcap (Sylvia
atricapilla) to characterise the historical recombination landscape
variation at broad and fine scales among populations with distinct
migratory phenotypes. We additionally evaluated the interplay between
recombination rates with patterns of genetic diversity, population
divergence (based on Fst and dxy), and potential signs of selection. Our
comparative analyses revealed: i) Lower divergence of recombination maps
at the broad scale and higher variability at fine scales. Resident
island populations showed higher variability in recombination patterns
among them and with continental populations. Recombination rates were
more conserved in continental populations regardless of the migratory
phenotype. ii) The degree of divergence between recombination maps
correlated with population differentiation. It could also recapitulate
population-specific demographic history and genetic structure. iii)
Recombination rates correlated negatively with Fst and positively with
nucleotide diversity and dxy, suggesting that recombination may reduce
the effect of linked selection over the loss of neutral diversity. We
identified chromosomal regions with potential signs of linked selection.
This study evidences that recombination is a variable trait that shapes
the diversity and evolution of population differentiation in the
blackcap.
A Case of AVNRT Resistant to Ablation with Conventional Non-irrigated Catheter after Tricuspid Valve Replacement

Published: November 2022

Arrhythmia ablation in patients status post valve replacement is
difficult due to distorted anatomy caused by the underlying disease and
the prosthetic material overlying the arrhythmic substrate. Here we
report a case of AVNRT ablation resistant to ablation with a
conventional non-irrigated catheter after tricuspid valve replacement.

Authors: Yan Jianying , Liao Tingting , Xu Xia , Wu Junzi , Xie Yi
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of
pregnancy (HDP). DLX5 plays an important role in the migration and
differentiation of subglobus pallidus precursor cells. Material
and methods: We established a zebrafish line expressing high levels of
DLX5 and investigated changes in behavior and development of the nervous
system. Results: The ratios of brain volume area to whole body
area at 96 hpf zebrafish in the experimental group (gRNA+CasRx) were
significantly lower than the WT group and the negative control group
(casRx)(P<0.01). Behavioral trajectory distances and movement
speeds exhibited by the 6th day of development in zebrafish in the
experimental group (gRNA+CasRx) were significantly shorter
(P<0.01) and lower (P<0.05) than the negative
control group (gRNA+CasRx), respectively. Conclusions: Data
suggested that the increased expression levels of DLX5 can inhibit brain
volume development and behavioral activities in zebrafish. Maybe the
high expression levels of DLX5 in the pathological state of PE can
inhibit the development of the nervous system in offspring.
Molecular Determinants for the Layering and Coarsening of Biological Condensates
Authors: Latham Andrew , Zhang Bin
Published: November 2022

Many membraneless organelles, or biological condensates, that play key
roles in signal sensing and transcriptional regulation form through
phase separation. While the functional importance of these condensates
has inspired many studies to characterize their stability and spatial
organization, the underlying principles that dictate these emergent
properties are still being uncovered. In this review, we examine recent
work on biological condensates, especially multicomponent systems. We
focus on connecting molecular factors such as binding energy, valency,
and stoichiometry with the interfacial tension, explaining the
nontrivial interior organization in many condensates. We further discuss
mechanisms that arrest condensate coalescence by lowering the surface
tension or introducing kinetic barriers to stabilize the multidroplet
state.
A Transformer Based Network Using Micro-Doppler Features for Continuous Human Motion Recognition

Published: November 2022

Radar-based human motion recognition has received extensive attention in
recent years. Most current recognition methods generate a heat map of
features through simple signal processing and then feed into a
classification-based neural network for recognition. Such an approach
can only identify a single action. When a set of data contains
information about multiple movements it can also only be recognized as a
single movement. Therefore, in order to solve the problem that
continuous human motion cannot be recognized, we propose a continuous
action recognition method based on micro-Doppler features and
Transformer, which translates the micro-Doppler features of continuous
actions into machine translation tasks, and uses the idea of natural
language processing (NLP) to identify continuous action.
A Study on the Four Iron Principles for Realizing an Innovative Country Enhancing Entrepreneurship
Authors:   Academy of Entrepreneurship, Han Jungwh , Kim Younghwan , Lee Choonwoo
Published: November 2022

This paper defines the concept of an “innovative country enhancing entrepreneurship” and discusses what principles should be taken firmly to achieve it. Freedom, openness, fairness and co-prosperity are selected as “four iron principles” for realizing an innovative country enhancing entrepreneurship. This paper also presents evidence and reasoning why four iron principles are critical in realizing an “innovative country enhancing entrepreneurship.” Korea fell behind in the trend of the industrial revolution, which began in earnest around the 18th century, and suffered from colonialism and division from the mid-19th century to the first half of the 20th century, forcing it to remain a marginal country on the world stage. Korea has achieved economic growth and social development in the process of modernization that began in the late 20th century, and from 2020s, Korea has moved beyond its status as a developing country and has entered the position of 10 major economic powers and advanced countries. Nevertheless, Korea has been falling in the structure of political, economic, and cultural confusion and conflict due to ultra-fast compression growth. In order to enable Korea to develop into more advanced country that can become a model for the world, it has to advocate an “innovative country enhancing entrepreneurship” as the Korea's future vision. The “innovative country enhancing entrepreneurship” aims to be a country that realizes a virtuous cycle of economic growth and social development by solving social problems and conflicts creatively and innovatively. For this, the four core values of 'freedom', 'openness', 'fairness', and 'co-prosperity' should be the iron principles.
Nutrient and Sensory Evaluation of Cowpea -Acha Flour Blend in Pudding Production
Authors: J Eke-Ejiofor
Published: November 2022

Cowpea is an important food crop that is widely consumed as a protein and energy source despite its limitation and high cost when compared to other grains, with the use of acha gaining popularity. The present study was conducted to highlight the diverse potential and domestic applications of acha as well as its nutritional value. The nutritive properties of the cowpea-acha composite flour blends were investigated as well as the proximate and sensory properties of pudding (moin-moin) developed from the blends. Cowpea (100%) was used as the control and substituted with acha at different ratio from 10-50%. The flour blends were analyzed for, functional, chemical composition and pasting properties, while proximate composition and sensory evaluation was done on the products. The functional properties showed that bulk density, oil and water absorption, solubility and swelling power increased with substitution of acha and ranged from 0.74-0.80g/mL, 1.20-1.29%, 1.13-1.45%, 20.92-30.14% and 7.03-9.89% respectively, while dispersibility decreased from 76.00-74.50%. Chemical analysis of cowpea-acha composite flour blends showed that there were no significant (p˃0.05) differences in moisture, fat, fiber and carbohydrate contents, while ash, protein, starch, sugar, amylose and amylopectin showed significant (p˂0.05) difference. The pasting characteristics of cowpea-acha blends showed that peak and breakdown viscosities reduced as the level of acha substitution increased, while trough, final and setback viscosities increased with an increase in the level of acha substitution with all pasting parameters showing no significant (p˃0.05) difference. The sensory evaluation result indicated an organoleptically acceptable pudding from different blends of cowpea and acha with the 100% cowpea (control) as the most preferred.

Authors: AC Wada
Published: November 2022

A brown sugar process technology [BST] was developed using a simple batch system and a local clarifier at the National Cereals Research Institute [NCRI], Badeggi. The quality characteristics of the brown sugar produced from the technology were studied. Where necessary and feasible the brown sugar quality was compared to industrial brown sugars. The bulk density, solubility, particle size, brix percentage, pH, Pol%, soluble and insoluble fractions, water sorption properties, proximate composition, microbial load and organoleptic properties of the sugar were evaluated. The results showed that the brown sugar had 82.87% solubility as compared to 85.80 and 72.73% of industrial samples. The bulk density was 0.88g/cm3 as compared to 0.82 and 0.95g/cm3. The particle size ranged from 600µm-10mm with 53% passing through 600µm-1.18mm. The moisture sorption studies showed that the brown sugar exhibited a sigmoid shaped structure with monolayer moisture content of 0.63gH20 while the surface area was 0.0036x10M2 /g solid. There was no apparent presence of fibre but ash content was high [10.00%] while protein as expected was very low [0.26%]. The microbial load was low 20x103 cfu/g while feacal pollution was not observed. The NCRI brown sugar was preferred to the industrial samples and had an acceptability score of 4 in a 5-point-hedonic scale.
