Published: January 2025

Patient loyalty has become a critical success factor for healthcare institutions in the evolving healthcare landscape. The hospital seeks to differentiate itself by emphasizing patient-centered care, robust CRM systems, and the value of co-creation. This research analyzed the mediation of value co-creation on patient participation and customer relationship management toward patients' loyalty at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Polyclinic of Islamic Hospital of Hj. Siti Muniroh Tasikmalaya. This quantitative methodology used a cross-sectional survey and primary data from the questionnaire. The sample size was 271 patients. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, a sampling technique with the criteria. The analysis technique was Partial Least Square (PLS). The result indicated that the patient’s participation and customer relationship management toward loyalty had a mediation effect from the value co-creation variable. Patient participation and CRM affect value co-creation in outpatients at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Polyclinic of the Islamic Hospital of Tasikmalaya, both partially and simultaneously. The hospital should actively engage patients in co-creating healthcare experiences by involving them in treatment decisions, personalized care plans, and feedback loops. Then, the implication of this research was to enhance value co-creation, which could increase patient satisfaction, leading to higher loyalty and more effective CRM efforts.

Guided Endodontics: Path to Precision
Authors: Yadav Dr. Monica , Jain Dr. Gaurav , Misra Dr. Pradyumna
Published: January 2025

Guided Endodontics is a revolutionary approach in endodontic treatment that combines advanced technologies to improve the accuracy and efficiency of different endodontic procedures including various periapical surgical procedures. Guided Endodontics is a minimally invasive approach that uses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/ CAM) technology to create a 3D model of the tooth and surrounding bone for more accurate placement of endodontic instruments, reducing the risk of complications. This approach enables clinicians to access the root canal system through a smaller access cavity, preserving more tooth structure and reducing the time required for the procedures. Guided Endodontics is particularly useful for teeth with complex root canal anatomy, such as curved or narrow canals. This approach can help clinicians to locate and access calcified canals, which can be challenging to detect using traditional methods. This technique can be beneficial for retreatment cases, where traditional methods may have failed to locate or access the root canal system. Guided endodontics has also revolutionized the field of periapical surgeries, offering a more precise and minimally invasive approach. This advanced technique requires specialized equipment and software and also requires training and experience to master the Guided Endodontics workflow. For the future developments: Ongoing research and development aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of Guided Endodontics, as well as expand its applications to other areas of dentistry.

This comprehensive literature is having insight to the currently evolving novel technique on “Guided Endodontics”, along with its types and their application in various treatment procedures in routine endodontic therapy and periapical surgeries. It also present a view about the present status and future directions of the technique.

Published: January 2025

La presente Nota Técnica planeta un enfoque para la construcción de un sistema de Bancos de Hábitat en Perú, en donde se propone fortalecer categorías territoriales estratégicas ya existentes. Por ello, dicho enfoque equilibra la necesidad ecológica de ayudar a cubrir brechas del Sistema Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas por el Estado (SINANPE) con la realidad de que hay distintas modalidades de conservación que ya vienen trabajando a nivel de campo. Generar Bancos de Hábitat sobre Otras Medidas Efectivas de Conservación Basadas en Áreas (OMEC) ubicadas en las ecorregiones subrepresentadas en el SINANPE o en zonas de amortiguamiento de áreas naturales protegidas (ANP) con alto grado de afectación puede ser atractivo además para fomentar la demanda voluntaria, ya que ofrece una opción para contribuir a un objetivo nacional y a evitar escenarios no deseados en paisajes clave. Por su parte, la presencia y ubicación de la demanda de cumplimiento también es considerada en la determinación de áreas potenciales, pues estas definen la necesidad de unidades de compensación procedente de un origen en particular (cuenca, ecorregiones) debido a mandatos de equivalencia ecológica. Debido a su diseño integral, el pilotaje del modelo de Banco de Hábitat propuesto beneficiaría también al mercado de unidades de biodiversidad, tanto al de cumplimiento como al voluntario.

Authors: Zen Adrian , Mirza Isroni Muhammad Miraj , Razak Mohamed , Soebandi Agit
Published: January 2025

In recent years, technological advancement has been rapid. Artificial intelligence refers to the availability of applications capable of completing tasks involving the imitation of human intellectual processes by computers, particularly computer systems. A major developing concern nowadays is who owns the copyright of images created by artificial intelligence, notably in the Creative Industry. It’s a tricky issue—professional artists are outraged, copyright officials are baffled, and attorneys are preparing to have a field day. The issue lies in the effectiveness regarding the protection of copyright on creative industry work, made by the Artificial Intelligence itself. Since it is a machine/computer system capable of possessing human intelligence in performing complex tasks such as creating creative industrial work, it creates difficulty in how far such protection can be provided for creative industrial work. Therefore, it is difficult to prove the legal aspect of an artwork made by a machine, not by humans.

Authors: Hong Kyung Chan , Ochirbud Munkhtuvshin , Lee Hosung , Choi Donguk
Published: January 2025

A new type of building sandwich panel was designed, fabricated, and tested. The sandwich panel used high strength concrete (HSC) for thin outer/inner sheets and foam concrete (FC) for the core insulation material, while both HSC sheets and the FC core were interconnected using alkali-resistant glass fabric (ARGF). The sandwich panel was designed using truss model. ARGF served two different purposes of (1) shear reinforcement and (2) flexural reinforcement. A total of seven sandwich panels were fabricated and tested under 3-point and 4-point flexural test. During the flexural test, the FC core first underwent gradual damage in the compression strut followed by development of multiple flexural cracks in the thin HSC sheet in or close to the constant moment zone under 4-point flexural test. As a result, the flexural test results of the sandwich panel showed pseudo-ductile behavior.

Authors: Shivute Fimanekeni Ndaitavela , Liu Xiang-Dong , Ghaleb Mohammed Abdullah Abdulraheem
Published: January 2025

Background: O. alta is an important wild rice harboring many elite genes. However, the wild rice belongs to the allotetraploid (CCDD) and has a complex genetic background. It is difficult to utilize its genetic resource in rice breeding. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically observe the segregation (population structure) of the offspring of its inbred population, to provide a better basis for further gene editing and selection. Methods: Total of 371 plants from self-bred offspring of O. alta which were planted in the experimental field of South China Agricultural University were employed in which the main agronomic traits, of O. alta were investigated. Population structure of self-crossed ten generations of O. alta was conducted by investigating about ten agronomic traits of this wild rice. Result: My investigation found significant differences in most of the main agronomic traits that include reduction in plant height, confirming the consistence of O. alta new line compared to the conventional breed. Furthermore, the experiment observed strong panicles, thicker and wider leaves in new lines as compared to typical wild and cultivated rice, approving that populating the structure of O. alta will surely allow the study of genomic DNA variations and pave way to DNA analysis of wild rice line using re-sequencing.

Authors: Supriya B. , Kumar A.V.N. Siva , Jamuna K.V. , Deepa P. , Ramayya P. Jagapthi
Published: January 2025

Background: The study aimed at quantifying the estradiol 17 β receptor gene in in vivo developed and cultured ovarian follicles of sheep in different culture media by RT-q PCR. Since, estradiol 17 β is a key steroid hormone for antrum formation, preovulatory follicle maturation, expression of genes involved in ovarian differentiation and follicular rupture during ovulation of mammals and the local action of any hormone on the target cell or tissue depends on the expression of its receptor. Methods: Estradiol 17β receptor mRNA expression in sheep oocytes and cumulus cells was studied using quantitative RT-PCR for: (i) In vivo grown preantral, early antral, antral, large antral follicles and cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) obtained from large antral follicles subjected to 24 h of in vitro maturation and (ii) Accordingly, the cumulus cells and oocytes were collected from different development stages of preantral follicles cultured in vitro in TCM199B (Group I), TCM199B +E2 (5 ng/mL) (Group II) and Standard medium + E2 (5 ng/mL) (Group III) for 3 min, two, four or six days and subsequently matured in vitro for 24 h. Result: Estradiol 17 β receptor was observed at all stages of ovarian follicles in both cumulus cells and oocytes. The upregulation of the ER β gene was noted as the follicle grew in both the media supplemented with estradiol 17 β. Irrespective of in vitro groups, cumulus cells from COCs of the large antral follicles matured in vitro for 24 h exhibited the highest gene expression of the estradiol 17 β receptor. Among the three groups under study, the follicular cells of PFs’ cultured in group III showed the highest expression of the ERβ gene at any point of their development. The supplementation of estradiol 17 β in low doses stimulated synergism with growth factors and hormones to express its receptors in cultured preantral follicles of sheep.

Ecological and physiological studies of photosynthesis and associated processes in lichens (review)
Authors: GOLOVKO T. , Shelyakin M.
Published: January 2025

Lichens are the oldest symbiotic organisms. Their thallus represents a structure created by a mycobiont for a population of photobiont cells, the presence of which transforms a fungal heterotrophic organism into an autotrophic association. The review article summarizes the results of ecological and physiological studies of lichens in the taiga zone on the European North-East of Russia. The data on the photosynthetic activity, the effects of environmental factors on the thallus photosynthesis, and the reactions aimed at fine-tuning the functional structure and metabolism of lichens to habitat conditions are presented and analyzed. The importance of the photobiont type for the functioning of the entire lichen association is demonstrated. Cyanobiont lichens were found to be characterized by a higher nitrogen content and intensive metabolism, compared with chlorobionts. In most of the studied lichen species, the content of chlorophyll a varied within 0.4-0.8 mg/g of the dry mass of thallus, and the concentration of carotenoids was by 2.5-3 times as less. The maximum net uptake of CO2 in lichens was observed at a temperature of 15-20 °C and a relative water content of about 60 %. The saturation of photosynthesis with light was noted at a photosynthetic photon flux density being by four-five times less than that of the total solar radiation. The effects of exposure of thalli to UV radiation and environmental pollution with bauxite dust have been revealed. Promising directions for further research are outlined.

Authors: Pystina T. , Semenova N. , Parinova T. , Leonova O.
Published: January 2025

The paper presents the first data on the diversity of lichens in the natural recreational complex “Pine Forest of the Yagry Island”. We have investigated pine and birch-pine forests growing on its territory and differing by the degree of anthropogenic load. The list includes 129 species and intraspecific taxa of lichens and taxonomically lichen-related fungi. Often-visited forest areas suffer from a significant anthropogenic pressure that has consequences as change in the species composition of lichens, various morphological damage to their thalli, and destruction of lichens by lichenophilic fungi. Sites situated far from the recreational facilities have been identified for the species normally found in old-growth poorly-disturbed forests. Samples of Naevia punctiformis and Scoliciosporum sarothamni are first listed for the Arkhangelsk Region. Bacidina assulata is listed for the second time for the Arkhangelsk Region.
Secondary forest stands on depleted peatlands in the European North-East of Russia
Authors: Ulanov N.
Published: January 2025

The lowland swamps of the Russian Federation are mainly located on lands of the State Forest Fund. After peat collection with rotary cultivator, it is quite logical to use these depleted areas to plant artificial coniferous forest stands on them, for example Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). The most favorable environment for this forest crop is low-deposit and well-drained areas with high-ash residual woody-grassy peats, underlain by light rocks. The stock of commercial wood in 40–50-year-old stands reaches 360–415 m3/ha. Areas with high peat reserves and low-ash grassy-moss species on residual peat have formed a sparse, stunted, extremely depressed forest stand in conditions of stagnant water regime. At the similar age, the timber stock does not exceed 0.1–0.2 m3/ha. All this situation must be taken into account when carrying out large-scale forest-planting operations on depleted peatlands.

Authors: Martynov V. , Schemelinina T. , Anchugova E.
Published: January 2025

Lignocellulosic waste represents the most abundant renewable raw material globally. The principles of a circular economy can be applied by optimizing the utilization of valuable properties from recycled materials. The objective of this study is to assess the potential of utilizing coffee silverskin, the sole by-product of coffee roasting, for submerged cultivation of xylotrophic basidiomycetes with subsequent enzyme production. The growth processes of Fomitopsis pinicola and Rhodofomes roseus became intensified along with the increased biosynthesis of enzymes in their mycelia in case of submerged cultivation on coffee silverskin, not during solid-phase cultivation. The Fomitopsis pinicola strain was observed to preferentially accumulate cellobiases (1800 units/g) and β-glucanases (1170 units/g), whereas the Rhodofomes roseus strain was found to accumulate xylanases (over 5000 units/g). Therefore, coffee silverskin can be recommended to be used as a promising substrate for the cultivation of xylotrophic basidiomycetes for the production of enzyme preparations.

Authors: Pawłowska Aneta , Wendorff Anna
Published: January 2025

Audio description (AD) is a verbal description of the visual content presented aurally to the blind and visually impaired persons. AD enables people with visual impairments to perceive visual art, such as paintings and sculptures or audiovisual art, such as installations, environment, performance, theatrical art, stage performance or small and big screen pictures. Audio description, as a technique employed to present visual art to visually impaired people, is an object of audiovisual translation research and it belongs to the inter-semiotic translation because it transforms a sign from one system of signs to a content developed with the use of a different system of signs. The paper focuses on the role of audio description in providing the blind and visually impaired people with access to museum collections. The core object of research included the audio descriptions developed in art history classes at the University of Lodz for the Museum of Art in Lodz.

Authors: Talwar Ankoor , Shen Chen , Shin Joseph H.
Published: January 2025

Natural language processing (NLP) is the study of systems that allow machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language. With the advent of large language models (LLMs), non-technical industries can also harness the power of NLP. This includes healthcare, specifically surgical care and plastic surgery. This manuscript is an introductory review for plastic surgeons to understand the current state and future potential of NLP in patient consultations. The integration of NLP into plastic surgery patient consultations can transform both documentation and communication. These applications include information extraction, patient chart summarization, ambient transcription, coding, enhancing patient understanding, translation, and a patient-facing chatbot. We discuss the current progress toward building these applications and highlight their challenges. NLP has the potential to personalize care, enhance patient satisfaction, and improve workflows for plastic surgeons. Altogether, NLP can radically transform our current model of consultation into one that is more patient-centered.

Published: January 2025

Improving the efficiency and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high-energy cathodes is crucial, yet challenging due to the limitations of commercial separators. Herein, we find that “giving” a portion of the Ni-rich LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) positive electrode to the Al2O3-coated polyethylene (PE) (PE/Al2O3) separator as an active and thick ceramic coating (> 10 µm) can more efficiently enhance the separator's wettability and thermal stability compared with the inert and thin (< 5 µm, typically 1~2 µm) Al2O3 coating. The NCM811 coating on the separator can take part in the electrochemical reaction and contribute capacity without increasing the cell dead weight. The NCM811-coated separator has a low thermal shrinkage of 0.8% at 160 °C and a high lithium-ion transfer number of 0.66. Notably, the NCM811-coated separator enhances electrochemical performance, delivering higher capacities compared to traditional PE and PE/Al2O3 separators. Furthermore, it effectively mitigates lithium dendrite formation, thereby bolstering LIB safety. Our findings demonstrate the potential of using active cathode materials as separator coatings to advance LIB technology with high-energy cathodes.

Authors: Wang Zuoxun , Guo Changkun , Sui Jinxue , Cui Chuanyu
Published: January 2025

The deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in extreme environments such as nuclear fusion devices and the aerospace industry is crucial for real-time monitoring of critical parameters. However, it faces many challenges. In this paper, we propose the desert golden mole optimization algorithm (DGMOA), a novel algorithm inspired by the survival strategy of the desert golden mole and combined with the Dingo optimization algorithm (DOA). DGMOA addresses these challenges through two core mechanisms: the sand swimming strategy enhances the global search capability, and the hiding strategy is used for fine-grained local optimization. Through simulation tests, DGMOA shows excellent performance. It can quickly explore a large range of solution space in the initial search phase and adjust the position of individuals to avoid local optimal traps, resulting in a more uniform sensor layout and higher coverage. In convergence speed, it outperforms existing algorithms with faster convergence. Regarding energy consumption, the reasonable node layout reduces unnecessary waste and prolongs the service life of the sensor network. The results show that DGMOA is a highly effective solution for sensor layout in complex and extreme environments, with significant improvements in performance and energy consumption over traditional methods.
An improved artificial potential field method for multi-AGV path planning in ports
Authors: Chen Xinqiang , Chen Chen , Wu Huafeng , Postolache Octavian , Wu Yuzheng
Published: January 2025

As global maritime transport rapidly advances, the demands for intelligent, safe, and efficient automated container ports have significantly increased. In this evolving landscape, multi-automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems have emerged as a critical element of port automation, playing an essential role. Within automated container terminals, quay cranes, AGVs, and yard cranes are the primary equipment for loading and unloading operations on ships. However, the complexity of simultaneously considering numerous practical factors and the intricate relationships among them has made optimization modeling in this area a challenging task. To tackle this challenge, we have developed a path optimization model for multi-AGV systems in port environments, based on an enhanced artificial potential field (APF) algorithm. This algorithm utilizes the initial states of AGVs, target locations, and obstacle information as inputs. It creates attractive forces near the target locations and repulsive forces around static obstacles. Moreover, a minimum safety distance between AGVs is established; when AGVs approach closer than this threshold, the algorithm introduces repulsive forces between them to prevent collisions. The algorithm dynamically recalculates the repulsive potential field in response to real-time feedback and changes in the environment, enabling continuous adjustment to the AGV paths and action plans. This iterative process continues until all AGVs reach their designated targets. The effectiveness of this algorithm has been validated through port environment simulations, demonstrating clear advantages in enhancing the safety and smoothness of multi-AGV path planning.

El avance de la transición demográfica conlleva cambios inmediatos que moldean el crecimiento de los hogares. Este artículo examina la evolución de este proceso en América Latina y sus implicaciones para la política de vivienda. Utilizando datos censales de diecisiete países de la región, así como de España y Portugal, este estudio emplea un método de descomposición para analizar los factores demográficos que influyen en el crecimiento reciente de los hogares. Los hallazgos resaltan el impacto cada vez menor del crecimiento poblacional en este proceso. Además, subrayan que la estructura de edad y los factores comportamentales de la formación de hogares aumentan su influencia. Dado que es menos predecible y que está estrechamente relacionado con coyunturas socioeconómicas, este último determinante introduce elementos de incertidumbre. Como resultado, se concluye que es esencial mejorar los métodos para incorporar estos componentes y sus trayectorias cíclicas e inciertas en la modelización del crecimiento de los hogares. También se enfatiza en la necesidad de adoptar estrategias de planificación de política residencial para el futuro postransicional, cuando predominarán las incertidumbres.

Authors: Gonçalves Anderson , Correia Alves Luciana
Published: January 2025

A discussão sobre a mensuração do envelhecimento é uma necessidade objetiva diante de um fenômeno cada vez mais presente na sociedade, sobretudo para a definição do público elegível a determinadas políticas públicas. Este artigo propõe uma revisão da análise sobre envelhecimento populacional no Brasil, partindo da abordagem que considera as novas formas de conceituar e mensurar o envelhecimento populacional e estabelecendo uma perspectiva subnacional que favoreça o estudo do processo de envelhecimento vigente no país. O objetivo é utilizar diferentes conceitos de idade para mensurar o envelhecimento populacional e evidenciar parte das desigualdades nesse processo. São utilizados dados do IBGE para o Brasil e suas cinco regiões, compreendendo o período entre 1980 e 2060. Os resultados indicam que o envelhecimento populacional é uma tendência para todas as regiões do Brasil, mas há diferenças importantes no estágio de envelhecimento de cada região, ou seja, existem regiões em estágio mais avançado no processo de envelhecimento populacional mensurado tanto com as medidas tradicionais como com as medidas prospectivas. Além disso, as medidas prospectivas apresentam um ritmo de envelhecimento mais lento quando comparadas com as medidas tradicionais.
The 3D Potential Flow Simulation of an Electric Commuter Train's Velocity and Pressure with LISA FEA V.8

Published: January 2025

The current research examines the aerodynamic behaviour of an electric commuter rail vehicle moving at 100 km/h by comparing the findings of 3D simulation with manual estimations of dynamic pressure and velocity. Compared to manual approaches, the simulation yielded more accurate insights using the potential flow theory-based LISA FEA V.8 program. There was a 5% discrepancy between the simulation's range of 0.546 kN/m² to 4.865 kN/m² and the manually determined dynamic pressure of 4.633.3 kN/m². The simulation demonstrated the impact of intricate aerodynamic interactions, which produced a velocity of 31.66 m/s, 14% greater than the manual calculation at the train's front of 27.78 m/s.Furthermore, the simulation revealed an uneven velocity distribution contributing to drag, with the highest speeds along the sides and a low-pressure wake at the back. These findings highlight the need for sophisticated simulations to improve train design, lower drag, increase energy efficiency, and improve passenger comfort. They also show the limitations of simplified computations

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh tingginya angka kecelakaan kerja di sektor konstruksi, khususnya insiden jatuh dari ketinggian yang sering terjadi akibat kurangnya kesadaran pekerja dalam penggunaan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD). Sektor konstruksi mencatat kontribusi signifikan terhadap kasus kecelakaan kerja di Indonesia, di mana pemahaman dan penerapan keselamatan kerja masih menjadi tantangan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi tingkat kesadaran pekerja dalam penggunaan APD saat bekerja di ketinggian pada proyek konstruksi. Studi ini menggunakan metode survei dan analisis dengan pendekatan kuantitatif, di mana data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner yang divalidasi oleh ahli di bidang K3. Sampel dalam penelitian ini melibatkan 90 pekerja konstruksi di wilayah Tangerang Selatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat lima variabel utama yang mempengaruhi kesadaran pekerja terhadap penggunaan APD, yaitu arahan dari staf HSE, pengetahuan tentang APD, pemahaman penggunaan body harness, pemeriksaan kondisi body harness, dan kualitas peralatan yang disediakan oleh perusahaan. Dari analisis Relative Importance Index (RII), diketahui bahwa faktor manusia, organisasi, dan peralatan menjadi faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi tingkat kesadaran pekerja. Penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi untuk meningkatkan peran organisasi dalam pelatihan dan sosialisasi terkait penggunaan APD guna mengurangi risiko kecelakaan di ketinggian.

This research aimed to investigate the characteristics of nanoencapsulated Citrus sinensis peel extract (NCSPE) applied in drinking water and its effect on broiler chickens' growth performance and jejunal histomorphology. The total of 192 Male Broiler chicken was distributed into six treatments with four replicates (Eight birds each replicate). The experimental  treatments were control diet and drinking water added with no treatment (T0; negative control), tetracycline 50 mg/l (T1; positive control), CSPE (Citrus sinensis peel extract) 1,5% (T2), CSPE 3% (T3), NCSPE 1,5% (T4), and NCSPE 3% (T5). The variables evaluated in this research were characteristics of NCSPE, growth performance. Data were analyzed using ANOVA in a completely randomized design. All data with a significant difference were then tested   again using the Duncan Test with a probability of less than 5%. Results showed  that the size of NEPM was 13,70 nm with a spherical shape and negative charges with zeta potentials of -13.37 mV.

The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of silo type for laboratory scale on chemical compositions, fermentation characteristics, and microbial counts of silage. Four typical silos use on a laboratory scale, consisting of transparent plastic bags (Silo A), black plastic bags (Silo B), transparent plastic bags covered with a bucket (Silo C), and transparent plastic bags covered with a sack (Silo D). All silo types were used to ensilage 5 kg Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) for 21 d. Each Silo was conducted in triplicate. After ensiling, Silo C had higher crude protein with lower ammonia compared to other Silos (p<0.05). In addition, the Silo C resulted in lower pH, butyrate, and yeast with higher lactate and lactic acid bacteria (p<0.05) compared to other Silos. Silo C had the lowest bulginess, which indicated the optimum ensiling process. The present study concluded that ensiling forage with Silo C is more suitable and recommended for laboratory scale, which can reduce the errors, especially in the nutrient loss, production of ammonia, lactate, and butyrate, and also the counts of microbes in the silage.
