Authors: Ali Iqbal M. , Indradewa Rhian
Published: November 2022

The development of communication technology is a cycle that continues to grow from time to time, the development of communication technology will inevitably bring changes in daily communication. PT XL Axiata Tbk became a private company that provides the first cellular telephone service in Indonesia. PT XL Axiata Tbk has played a role during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, PT. XL Axiata Tbk actively contributes to the improvement of Indonesia's conditions, some of which include Internet quota subsidies for students, the sispreneur incubation program to support women micro-enterprises during the pandemic and distribution of 100 million donations through the Indonesian Red Cross. PT. XL Axiata Tbk has the smallest percentage compared to other telecommunication service companies. This is because XL Axiata is still sharing 3G and 4G networks, so connection delays often occur. In connection with the above, the authors need to conduct a study on customer satisfaction with XL cellular users. This study aims to examine the phenomenon of customer satisfaction, in terms of service quality and customer value. The type of research used is a research with a conclusive design, which is a type of inference research that aims to test a certain hypothesis, either through in-depth research on a problem (descriptive) or looking for relationships between variables (correlative) between the independent variable and the dependent variable. The results showed that service quality had a positive and significant effect on customer value. Service quality had a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction and customer value had positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. The practical implication is that PT. XL Axiata Tbk must manage service quality as the most important factors affecting customer value and manage customer value as the most important factors affecting customer satisfaction.

The major goal of this review is to standardise the programming languages that are useful for controlling the behaviour of machines on computers. Syntax and semantic norms are defined in programming languages, just as they are in natural languages. Over a hundred thousand programming languages exist, with new ones appearing every year. Few languages ever gain widespread adoption, yet talented programmers may use dozens of languages over the course of their careers. The authors looked at the most prominent standized programming languages' runtime performance, memory utilisation, applications, and key pros and drawbacks in this review.
Inevitability of Budget Deficit in a Growing Economy
Authors: Tanaka Yasuhito
Published: November 2022

Using a simple macroeconomic model and a model with microeconomic foundations about behavior of consumers and firms, we examine the budget deficit in a growing economy, and will show mainly the following results. 1) If the initial savings is positive (or investment of private firms is not large), we need budget deficit including interest payments on government bonds to maintain full employment with or without inflation. 2) If the initial savings is negative (or investment of private firms is large), investment of private firms cannot be financed only by consumers’ investment, but also by the government. 3) If the interest rate on the government bonds is larger than the growth rate, the budget surplus excluding interest payments is necessary to maintain full employment under constant prices.

Published: November 2022

Despite the importance of modernizing Brazilian agriculture through capitalization, alongside agricultural public policies, at the regional level this process has taken place asymmetrically and continues as such to this day. Thus, this work aims to verify the characteristics of family farmers and their establishments in the different regions of Brazil, based on municipal data from the 2017 Agricultural Census, using the Logit Multinomial econometric model. The results suggest heterogeneity among the different regions of the country, which corroborates the process of asymmetric modernization of Brazilian agriculture, and, through the econometric estimation, based on variations in the characteristics observed, the South region of Brazil has, in general, more favorable characteristics when compared to the other regions.

Published: November 2022

Aiming at the problems of difficult charging, long waiting time and energy loss of IoEV (Internet of electric vehicles) during peak charging period, we design a V2V (vehicle to vehicle) energy trading model to simulate the energy trading process. Considering the problems of malicious node attacks and privacy protection, we combine the V2V energy transaction model with a federated chain and explore a distributed ledger to record the V2V energy transaction process. In addition, we design a credibility mechanism to initialize nodes according to their comprehensive strength and select master nodes based on their behavioral performance of participating in consensus, which ensures the reliability of the consensus. Based on this, we propose a more efficient and promising consensus algorithm SV-PBFT (shapley value-PBFT), which simplifies the consensus process, reduces the communication overhead, and improves the consensus efficiency. The SV-PBFT consensus algorithm is used to replace the traditional consensus algorithm in V2V energy trading. The proposed SV-PBFT algorithm is validated by extensive simulation experiments, and numerical results are provided to confirm the good performance of SV-PBFT in V2V energy trading models.

 
Against the act/omission distinction
Authors: Dsouza Mark
Published: November 2022

The act/omission distinction is widely thought of as being of foundational importance in the substantive criminal law of liberal states. While acts can be proper targets for criminal offences, it is thought that we should only exceptionally criminalise omissions. I argue against this piece of criminal law orthodoxy by showing that if we are careful to fairly compare acts and omissions qua targets for criminalisation, then none of the standard arguments in favour of the act/omission distinction convince. In fact, on close examination, there is little reason to think that an omission cannot perform the role played by the conduct element in the structure of a criminal offence, just as well as an act can.

Authors: Kemas Moh. Ade Isnaeni  , Achmad Fauzan Arrahman  , Isdaryanto Iskandar
Published: November 2022

One of the factors that can affect the level of production achievement is the availability factor of the mechanical unit used. Theoretically, if the level of availability of a mechanical unit is high, then of course the level of production achievement that can be produced will also be high. However, an statistical analysis was necessary to determine how far this availability factor is in influencing the existing production level. The values of mechanical and physical availability are the example of availability factors which is use generally to evaluate how good is a mechanical unit in conducting its production activities. In this research, the samples were 3 units of loader and 14 units of hauler with the 10 days of data collecting range. From the results of the research conducted, the values of mechanical and physical availability had a strong correlation rate on the production achievement rate of loader unit with the simultaneous influence percentage of 59.49%, but partially it was not significantly influential. The regression similarity of the mechanical and physical availability value influence on the production achievement rate of loader units was Y=-28,6707-1.247,8038 X₁+3.328,7897X₂. Then, for the analysis results of the mechanical and physical availability influential values on the production achievement rate of hauler units, it obtained that mechanical and physical availability had a strong correlation rate on the production achievement rate of hauler units with the simultaneous influence percentage of 85.54% and partially, the mechanical and physical availability values were significantly influential on the production achievement rate of hauler units. The regression similarity of the mechanical and physical availability value influence on the production achievement rate of hauler units was Y=113,8621+12.742,1041X₁-9.359,3209X₂.

The contract is the legislation of the contractors, is considered one of the most important legal bases, as it has become an established rule in many legal systems in different countries of the world, the contract for its two contractors is considered a system or is their system, although its origin is the agreement between them ، The meaning of the contract is that the obligation arising from the contract is equivalent in its force to the obligation arising from the system, and it is not permissible for an individual to waive both. This rule is based on philosophical, moral, economic, historical and civilizational foundations, it is based, firstly, on upholding the principle of the authority of the will, that is, the individual is obliged only by what he wants and if he wants to oblige, nothing prevents it, and secondly, it is based on respect for the contract, and it is also based on the Therefore, the contract had to have a binding force so that one of the contractors may not unilaterally revoke or amend it, and these are the foundations on which the rule of the contract is based on the sharia of contractors.
An Approach to Recognize Vehicles Context Flow for Smartphone-Based Outdoor Parking Using Supervised Machine Learning Classifiers
Authors: Hossen Md Ismail , Michael Goh  , Tee Connie  , Md. Nazmul Hossain
Published: November 2022

Abstract— Finding an available parking space in outdoor environments such as university campuses and roadsides need a good parking system. In a general parking system, detecting a vehicle entering leaving the parking premise is one of the major steps. Currently, there are parking systems that use cameras or external sensors to detect the leaving and entering of the automobiles. External sensors-based systems require a costly sensor installation at each parking slot while the camera-based systems require sophisticated camera setup. Both parking systems need very high cost of deployment and maintenance. Besides, the additional need for network setup and hardware capacity increases the complexity that makes the system difficult to be implemented in an outdoor environment that typically involve a bigger coverage area. To encounter the issues, paper presents a parking system for outdoor parking systems using only smartphone-oriented sensors. The proposed approach does not require additional sensors installation nor manpower support. The proposed system takes the inputs from smartphones to detect the driver’s context that is used to recognize the flow of the vehicle. Context flow recognition indicates whether a driver is parking or unparking his/her vehicle. Supervised classifiers like support vector machines (SMV) and decision trees (DT) are used to recognize the parking or unparking actions to enable vehicles tracking in the parking area. Outcome of the proposed approach is a significant contribution for outdoor parking system as it solely utilizes the sensors embedded in smartphones to detect parking behaviors.
BANGLA HANDWRITTEN NUMERAL RECOGNITION USING DEEP CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK
Authors: Bappy Md. Hadiuzzaman , Haq Md. Siamul , Talukder Kamrul Hasan
Published: November 2022

The recognition of Bangla handwritten numerals (BHNR) has recently emerged as a very interesting area for machine learning and pattern recognition research. Recently, the technology for character or object recognition has also advanced. Bangla handwritten number recognition can serve as a foundation for creating an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in the Bangla language. However, the lack of a sizable and accurate dataset makes Bangla's handwritten numeral recognition study insufficient in contrast to that of other well-known languages. Similar to MNIST for English digits, NumtaDB is by far the largest dataset collection for handwritten digits in the Bangla language. The most used datasets for the recognition of Bangla handwritten numerals in the past were NumtaDB, CMATERdb, and ISI. The majority of approaches now in use rely on feature extraction and a few outdated machine learning algorithms. Although some approaches operate quickly enough to meet practical demands, they are not always accurate. Even while certain techniques work quite well for languages other than Bangla, they still require improvement. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), in particular, are demonstrating excellent achievements in this discipline with higher accuracy. In this work, we’ve used custom CNN architectures to build our model to recognize digits using all the existing datasets with a high degree of accuracy. Our CNN model shows an average of 98% accuracy recognizing Bangla numeric in respect of above datasets. We have cross verified our model with mixed datasets and the result is also promising.

A Comparative Study of COVID-19 Metaphors in Chinese and Foreign Media Discourse
Authors: Fan Huiyue
Published: November 2022

Traditional metaphor studies only analyze metaphor as a common linguistic phenomenon, thinking that metaphor is only a rhetorical phenomenon that modifies discourse. In fact, as Lakoff said, metaphor is a universal phenomenon, it is everywhere, Metaphor is pervasive in everyday life, not just in language but in thought and action. Lakoff’s conceptual metaphor theory is a new breakthrough for the linguistics community. Metaphor has since got rid of the shackles of traditional rhetoric, and has officially embarked on the road of investigation and research in cognitive linguistics and cognitive science. Lakoff said, “The essence of metaphor is under-standing and experiencing one kind of thing in terms of another.” There are many things in our real life that need to be expressed urgently, but due to the limitations of our thinking, the narrowness of our understanding or the accomplishments, the lack of expression makes us have to use metaphors to understand one thing from another. In 2020, COVID-19 broke out globally, and the major media of China and Western housing rushed to report the outbreak of COVID-19. It is impacting on economic and cultural life from all-round levels. The article studies COVID-19 from the perspective of conceptual metaphors, and aims to explore the kinds of conceptual metaphors. This article selects the two books of China Economic Weekly and The Economist as the research objects with some reports on COVID-19 in 2020, explores the conceptual metaphors related to COVID-19. The study has the following three findings: 1. In China Economic Weekly’s report on COVID-19, conceptual metaphors contain war metaphors and human metaphor. 2. In The Economist’s report on COVID-19, the mainstream reports mainly coverage war metaphor. 3. Understanding the similarities and differences in Chinese and foreign media of the conceptual metaphors on COVID-19 in the discourse. The purpose of this research is to provide readers with better ideas for understanding discourse reports, and to understand ideological concepts from a deeper perspective.

The Rise of Populism and Implications on European Integration
Authors: Zhao Jianyang
Published: November 2022

Since 1990, populism has become increasingly important in European politics. It is often associated with Euroscepticism and exclusionism. The topic of this paper is the negative relationship between populism and European integration in Europe in recent years. This paper aims to explore what obstacles populism has caused to the process of European integration by observing the ideas and policies of populist politicians and political parties, combined with the past research of many scholars. After describing three aspects, this paper concludes that populism is hindering the progress of European integration by increasing public suspicion of regional cooperation organizations, encouraging exclusive socio-economic policies, and emphasizing national identity rather than European identity. This trend may also continue in the foreseeable future, giving consideration to the current European political and economic situation.

Authors: Cai Jialiang
Published: November 2022

After the World War II, Germany was divided into two parts, the East and the West carried out social economy and national construction for half a century under the guidance of planned economy and market economy separately. The longer the division of Germany, the greater the gap between east and west in terms of economic system, political culture and so on. Now, Germany has been unified for more than 30 years, and the economic integration between the East and the West has achieved remarkable results. However, in terms of identity, there are still barriers between east and west that hinder the construction of a common German identity. In order to figure out what factors hinder the German identity forming, through reviewing history of the process of German economic integration, unequal economic developing structure was found that it could be origin of the barriers.

Published: November 2022

The decision on the establishment of economic and Monetary Union will be regarded as a major event in the economic history of Europe. A stable European monetary structure will affect the future not only of the Member States of the Community, but also of the whole world. It is likely to serve as a guidepost for the economic policies of future members of the European Community, such as Austria, Sweden and Finland, as well as the emerging market economies of Central and Eastern Europe. These countries are looking forward to closer links with the European Community. Monetary union would also provide a currency for the European Community. The creation of economic and monetary union is a complex undertaking from both a technical and a political point of view. It requires a high degree of consistency between economic policy and performance. At the same time, it would greatly reduce the economic autonomy of participating countries. The traditional differences in the economic and monetary policies of the member states of the European Community also have different effects. Therefore, this paper mainly studies the influence of EMU on different EU countries by studying the EU's political ideology, historical and economic development, economic main body structure and cultures of different EU countries.

Authors: Chen Yiting
Published: November 2022

With the drastic rise of the e-commerce model and pervasive online shopping behavior in this decade, the logistics and insights behind many social media and e-commerce platforms attract more attention and discussion. In China, among varied options of social media application, Douyin is the most distictive social media application for e-business. Some researchers conducted studies about Douyin and recognized that impulse buying behavior is usually used to explain online purchases. And some researchers found that users’ different desires and social needs result in the popularity of live streaming channels. However, not many pieces of research have focused on how Douyin, as a live streaming channel and an e-commerce platform, serves the user’s purchase behavior differently. Therefore, this research analyzes these two significant features separately and explore the correlation between features and users’ buying decision. The research method includes collecting data through the platform’s official database and past journal articles. The study’s findings prove that for live streaming services, product individualization and platform loyalty directly lead to purchasing decisions; for the feature of short video clips, the recommendation algorithm, and personalized content directly related to the longer screen time for users to be on Douyin. The possible explanation is that the more addicted the users to be on Douyin, the greater possibility of the action of purchase. However, this assumption still needs further investigation and proof.

Published: November 2022

Solar photovoltaic, as a new type of energy, is a clean, efficient energy that China strongly encourages and supports to use. With the proposal of the “Carbon-neutral” and “Carbon-peak” strategic goals, China’s photovoltaic power generation industry has developed rapidly in recent years. In order to support the development of China's photovoltaic power generation industry, both central and regional governments issued policies and measures. However, there are also some problems such as incomplete policies, monopoly of upstream enterprises, the inability of mutual transmission among various places, photovoltaic cell consumables and recycling. In order to solve the above problems, this paper focuses on the development background and characteristics of the solar photovoltaic power generation industry, systematically expounds on the evolution process of China’s photovoltaic energy generation industry policies at the national and local levels, and finds that the characteristics of the policies issued in the photovoltaic field in China are that subsidy policies dominate, and there are many subsidy policies aimed at the mid-stream and down-stream of the industrial chain. Besides that, there are also few policies for photovoltaic transmission between different places; In terms of benefits, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China has gradually increased, and the environment in China has indeed improved, but the upstream of the industrial chain has obvious interest concentration and monopoly. Therefore, this paper puts forward several policy recommendations to accelerate the high-quality development of China’s photovoltaic industry.
Whether Infrastructure Investment Can Still Light the Way for China's Economic Carriage?
Authors: Cui Renyuan , Jiang Qinjue , Liu Jingyi
Published: November 2022

The treatment of economic crises is one of the key topics of research for economists today. China successfully solved this problem through infrastructure investment during the global recession in 2008. However, for the last few years, because of the enormous pandemic effects on the global economy, many economists remain doubtful about the usefulness of infrastructure investment. Therefore, this paper uses historical research and analysis of the current economic environment to find that China can make infrastructure investments applicable in the context of the epidemic through digital innovation, economic transformation, and productivity improvements. In addition, the 4 trillion-yuan investment can be still useful if combined with other policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative.

Authors: Wang Weijun
Published: November 2022

Amazon has become one of the most influential companies in the world mainly for its online shopping service; however, it is evident that Amazon is exploring other fields such as grocery business, streaming services, and vehicles. One of the significant methods that contributes to Amazon’s rapid growth is acquiring other companies. Each acquisition made by Amazon indicates its ambition to expand the market into a new area, which furtherly enriches its brand’s content. In addition, Amazon does not simply buy companies to compete with others, but it also incorporates its own advantages in e-commerce—a sophisticated platform with a large customer base. The acquisitions of Whole Foods and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer(MGM) are two epitomes that illustrate how Amazon combines its own technology with the content of the companies it acquired to compete with others. With Amazon’s powerful platform, it provides plenty of information to the customers and collects the data from them in turn, which can be applied to many areas Amazon has involved. Since people nowadays are using their devices more frequently, it increases the possibility of accessing more information, giving Amazon chances to infiltrate into their lives. As a result, the more areas Amazon reaches, the more profit it can make with its e-commerce.

Published: November 2022

In order to explore the side deformation of the retaining piles of the foundation pit under vertical load and the sensitivity analysis of influencing factors, based on the foundation pit of a subway station of Nanning Metro Line 5, firstly, the presence of vertical load is compared and analyzed through field monitoring data. Then use FLAC3D to establish a numerical model to verify the accuracy of the numerical model by comparing with the monitoring data, and then study the maximum displacement of each factor on the lateral pile based on the numerical model, and carry out sensitivity analysis of influencing factors through grey correlation method. The results show that: the pre-acting vertical load increases the maximum displacement of the lateral pile by 20.2%, and the position of the maximum displacement of the lateral pile is lowered by 3m, which weakens the horizontal bearing capacity of the retaining pile, but has little effect on the deformation of the lateral pile; the vertical load increases When it is 3 times larger, the maximum displacement of the lateral pile is close to the pre-warning value, and the adverse effects of the vertical load should be fully considered. The second steel support diameter can be adjusted first in the design optimization; the cohesive force and internal friction angle of the soil parameters affect the surrounding pile. The side deformation has a greater impact and should be carefully determined based on indoor tests and local engineering experience.

Kinase inhibitor therapies for Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL): SYK, BTK and PI3K inhibitors
Authors: Lin Yipeng
Published: November 2022

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a prevalent tumor disease in developed countries, and related therapies have been designed. However, CLL is still incurable. Chemoimmunotherapy is effective in inhibiting the proliferation of CLL cells, but nonspecific treatment can affect the growth of other immune cells. Kinase inhibitors are considered to be effective treatments for CLL as their anti-proliferation effects, and currently, popular kinase inhibitor therapies include SYK, BTK, and PI3K inhibitor therapy. PI3K is characterized by high efficiency and low side effects compared with the other two kinase inhibitor therapies, for instance, idelalisib and duvelisib. This review compares the advantages of each kinase inhibitor therapy through relevant studies and concludes that duvelisib has significant advantages and promising prospects compared to other CLL drugs. Further research may focus on exploring the mechanism of the role of kinase inhibitors in CLL as well as the clinical trials of kinase inhibitors in CLL patients.
The Effects of Dietary Fiber on Intestinal Flora
Authors: Wan Xinrui
Published: November 2022

Once, dietary fiber was considered as a "non-nutritive substance". It is a non-starch polysaccharide, which cannot be decomposed by enzymes in the digestive tract of the human body, so it cannot be absorbed by the human body. The intestinal flora is the normal microorganism in the human intestine. Several studies point to a vital role for gut microbiota (GM) in preventing disease and reducing inflammation in humans. Gut microbiota has an important relationship with the human brain-gut axis, and the biological metabolites they produce are closely linked to the function of nervous system. It has been found that dietary fiber has great influence on intestinal flora. Improper dietary fiber intake may even cause various diseases. Food contains a lot of dietary fiber, which can help us regulate the number of intestinal flora. Once, people got dietary fiber from medicine. Studies have shown that some fruits, vegetables and cereals also contain a large number of different types of fiber. People can adjust the proportion of bacteria in the body by changing their diet.
Nitrite Toxicity: Chemical Analysis, Metabolism, and Health Effects
Authors: Shi Jiayang
Published: November 2022

Nitrites can be formed from and away by the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway. The properties of nitrite oxidation and metHb formation are carefully studied in mechanism, forming either N-binding or O-binding structures. Apart from nitrate and nitric oxide, nitrites can also form carcinogenic nitrosamines in acidic environments. MetHb can cause hypoxia and vasodilation, while symptoms are revealed in different degrees under recalled or present hypoxic conditions. The study thoroughly studied nitrite’s metabolic properties, chemical pathways, and dosage effects on health. The cancer risks of consuming dietary nitrite need more statistical support, while its metabolite N-nitrosodimethylamine and NDMA concentration are well considered with increasing cancer risks. ED50 of human vasodilation is identified, and lethal doses on juvenile pike-perch can be further utilized to predict related doses for humans. More studies should be done to investigate relative nitrite doses to boost utilization and studies about this chemical.
The potential benefits of snake venom
Authors: Dai Jingfei
Published: November 2022

Snake venom is one of the most lethal saliva toxins in the world. It consists of more than 20 distinct compounds, mainly of which are proteins， peptides or polypeptides. Proteins are responsible for 90%-95% of snake venom’s dry weight and are capable of some biological uses. The venom facilitates digestion and immobilization of prey and can help the snake to resist threats as well. Snake bites can easily kill a human or any other animal species. There are multiple sorts of snake venom with different toxicity abilities, causing various physiological effects. While snake venom is considered as a highly risky toxin, it still can be used to benefit human beings. For example, in the biomedical area, specific snake venom can treat serval diseases and even has a cosmetic effect. This article will solve the question that how snake venom can be lethal and beneficial at the same time, and how it be used to contribute to biological resources.

Authors: Sangha K. , Makkar G.
Published: November 2022

Efficacy of Metasystox 25 EC, Rogor 30 EC and Monocil 36 SL at three different concentrations, i.e. 0.025, 0.05 and 0.075 per cent was tested against Kusala salicis. The concentration 0.075 per cent was observed to be most effective resulting in more than 70.0 per cent and 88.0 per cent control at 3 days after spray and 15 days after spray, respectively. However, 0.025 per cent concentration was ineffective in providing desirable control of pest population. All the respective concentrations of the three insecticides were statistically at par in controlling the pest population.

Background
All elements of everyday life have been seriously and significantly impacted by the global COVID-19 outbreak. Previous research has demonstrated a connection between infectious disease epidemics and sleep disturbances as well as psychological discomfort, such as traumatic stress, melancholy, and anxiety.
ObjectivesThe study aimed to summarize current evidences about sleep quality and sleep disorders for patients that had Covid-19 infection
MethodsFor article selection, the PubMed database and EBSCO Information Services were used. All articles relevant with our topic and other articles were used in our review. Other articles that were not related to this field were excluded. The data was extracted in a specific format that was reviewed by the group members.
Conclusion
Our study included 8 studies in total. Patients with recovered COVID-19 showed a statistically significant prevalence of insomnia than control groups. Patients must be advised to follow-up if they have trouble sleeping as a result. Early detection and treatment of people who are experiencing insomnia are crucial to prevent long-term harmful effects as increase in the intensity of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress that were shown to be substantially correlated with poor sleep quality.
An action research on the application of online teaching in “Infection Control in Nursing Practice” course
Authors: Chu-Ling Chang
Published: November 2022

This study adopts the action research method to understand the impact of online teaching on the learning outcomes of working nursing students using the “Infection Control in Nursing Practice” course as the research context. The research design focuses on the learning activity process of online teaching. The study subjects consisted of 55 working nursing students, aged 25-55 years old, all of whom were taking the online courses for the first time. The results of the study show that the semester grades of online teaching courses were better than those of physical courses and the length of important learning activities such as audio-visual materials (AVMs) would best be produced within 5-12 minutes, while the key points of each section would best be explained within 5 minutes of the beginning of the AVMs. Working students may miss out a variety of online learning activities, so a reminder mechanism should be planned to prevent students from missing out learning activities. The teachers are facilitators and advisors in online teaching, so they may plan time outside of learning activities, such as office hours, to provide a channel for student consultation. The results of this study can be used as a direction to improve the subsequent online teachings and provide a reference for other teachers to implement online teaching.
Superficial digital flexor tendon luxation in a golden retriever
Authors: Isaka Mitsuhhiro , Okayama Taichi , Yamaguchi Minori , Konno Wataru
Published: November 2022

Background: Luxation of the superficial digital flexor (SDF) tendon involves the dislocation of the tendon from the groove of the calcaneal tuberosity. Although it is common in Shetland sheepdogs and collies presenting with acute, severe, and non-weight-bearing lameness, it is a rare orthopedic disease in golden retrievers.
Case Description: A 13- month-old neutered male golden retriever (32.2 kg) with acute right hind lameness and pain, was diagnosed with SDF luxation based on physiological, radiographic, and ultrasound examinations. The surgical procedure used was capsulorrhaphy of the tarsal joint and fixation with Kirschner wire. Postoperatively, the tarsal joint was stretched and externally fixed to prevent tension. The patient showed good gait without pain after pin removal on postoperative day 88.
Conclusion: In clinical practice, the possibility of this condition should be considered in golden retrievers presenting with lameness.
