Contrasting results of multiple species delimitation approaches cause uncertainty in synecological studies
Authors: Ahrens Dirk , Eberle Jonas , Ranasinghe Sasanka , Benjamin Suresh , Bezdek Ales , Thormann Jana
Published: August 2022

Biodiversity patterns are the sum of multiple overlapping species
distributions. Their analysis therefore requires proper species
inference. DNA-based species delimitation has become increasingly
popular for such assessments and their robustness is often measured by
congruence of multiple delimitation approaches. We explore how
contrasting results of different species delimitations translate into
conclusions of synecological studies, exemplified by assemblages of
phytophagous scarab beetles in Sri Lanka from different elevations and
forest types. Particularly, we compared estimates based on complete
assemblages and on cumulated species inventories inferred from
individually analysed subclades. These patterns of assemblage similarity
were analysed across different spatial scales with reference to
morphospecies and haplotypes. Method-related ambiguity of species
estimates, which also included subclade inferences, affected severely
the certainty of apparent biodiversity patterns at most spatial scales.
In this case study of tropical beetle, haplotypes only provided very
little explanatory information, since genetically highly diverse
populations widely lacked shared haplotypes.
A large memory window and low power consumption self-rectifying memristor for electronic synapse
Authors: Li Qingjiang , Yu Shihao , Yang Peng , Wang Qin , Liu Sen
Published: August 2022

Self-rectifying memristor has no need for selector devices, but possess
the one-way transmission behavior and multi-level non-volatile memory
characteristics, which makes it promising candidate for electronic
synapse. In this letter, we propose a novel self-rectifying memristor
based on Pt/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/TiN structure. The devices show large memory
window (104) and high rectifying ratio (104), which can block the sneak
current in passive crossbar array without any additional hardware
overhead. Moreover, the devices demonstrate excellent multi-level states
modulation capability, low power consumption, high endurance and long
retention. The final benchmark demonstrates that the proposed
Pt/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/TiN self-rectifying memristor is a promising candidate
for electronic synapse application.

Published: August 2022

In this work, a dynamic S-box is designed based on the chaotic neural
network using the memristor model of LiNbO3 (LNO) single crystalline
thin film. The LNO memristor, which shows good repeatability and the
characteristic of gradual resistance change, is used as the
self-feedback weight in the Transient Chaotic Neural Network (TCNN)
model to form a chaotic neural network. Double pseudo-random digits are
generated for dynamically adjusting the S-box elements according to the
weight function. The experimental results show that the proposed design
can achieve physical unclonability and has better nonlinearity and
differential uniformity.

Impaired glucagon-mediated suppression of VLDL-triglyceride secretion in individuals with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD)
Authors: Heebøll Sara , Risikesan Jeyanthini , Ringgaard Steffen , Kumarathas Indumathi , Sandahl Thomas D. , Grønbæk Henning , Søndergaard Esben , Nielsen Søren
Published: August 2022

Individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) have elevated plasma lipids as well as glucagon, although glucagon suppresses hepatic very low-density lipoprotein-triglyceride (VLDL-TG) secretion. We hypothesize that the sensitivity to glucagon in the hepatic lipid metabolism is impaired in MAFLD.

We recruited 11 subjects with severe MAFLD (MAFLD+), 10 with mild MAFLD (MAFLD-), and seven overweight control subjects (CON). We performed a pancreatic clamp with a somatostatin analogue (Octreotide®) to suppress endogenous hormone production, combined with infusion of low-dose glucagon (0.65 ng/kg/min, t=0─270 min, LowGlucagon) followed by high-dose glucagon (1.5 ng/kg/min, t=270─450, HighGlucagon). VLDL-TG and glucose tracers were used to evaluate VLDL-TG-kinetics and endogenous glucose production (EGP).

HighGlucagon suppressed VLDL-TG secretion compared to LowGlucagon. This suppression was markedly attenuated in MAFLD compared to CON (MAFLD+: 13% (SEM ±5%); MAFLD-: 10% (±3%); CON: 36% (±7%), P < 0.01), with no difference between MAFLD groups. VLDL-TG concentration and VLDL-TG oxidation rate increased between LowGlucagon and HighGlucagon in MAFLD+ compared to CON. EGP transiently increased during HighGlucagon without any difference between the three groups.

Individuals with MAFLD have a reduced sensitivity to glucagon in the hepatic triglyceride metabolism, which could contribute to the dyslipidemia seen in MAFLD patients. 

  
Identification of Characteristic Tire Parameters for the Virtual Steering System Design
Authors: Neumann Dominic , Ahmadi Mustaba , Weinberger Mario , Schramm Dieter
Published: August 2022

The virtual design of steering systems requires suitable premises for predicting realistic steering rack forces. This includes the proper tire used for the parking maneuver. It is important to select the tire from a portfolio that generates the highest rack forces at the vehicle, so that the electro-mechanical dimensioning of the steering system can be safeguarded for all tires of a vehicle. To avoid time-consuming and expensive full vehicle measurements, drilling torques of tires are measured on a Flat-Trac to determine the so-called worst-case tire. However, the determined drilling torques do not correlate with the measured rack forces.

This work therefore investigates the suitability of a Kinematics & Compliance test rig converted to a tire test rig. First, it is investigated whether the wheel movements from the parking maneuver can be decomposed into their individual elements on the test bench. In addition, reproducibility studies are carried out and three different methods for determining the aligning torque under camber are presented. Furthermore, measurements for static and dynamic friction values, as well as stiffnesses and the contact patch, are integrated into the new measurement procedure. It becomes apparent that temperature and wear level of the tire play a major role in the reproducibility of the measurements. If the measurement procedure described in this paper is followed exactly, the scatter of the drilling torque can be reduced by up to 24% compared to the old procedure. For the dynamic and the static friction values, the scatter is reduced by about 17% and 22%, respectively. Stiffness scatter can be reduced by up to 16%.

With the new measurement procedure, the worst-case tire can be reliably determined. The drilling torques correlate with the rack forces and the additional tire characteristics permit finer resolution. After evaluation and interpretation, recommendations for future developments are discussed.

Food production currently in Mexico is insufficient to feed the growing population, being dependent on the importation of food so there is food insecurity, which leads to the exploration of all kinds of modern techniques to increase productivity of agriculture and livestock in the country how the application of automation and mechatronics, and other modern technologies such as neural networks, Artificial vision , and internet of things , being so data mining can also help increase the productivity of food production. At present, the pressure in food production is increasing in the world due to the constant increase of the population, this is no stranger to our country, so any technology that helps the above must be considered, the use of some authors in this regard and it becomes clear that in Mexico the application of innovative technologies does not find an echo as in the rest of the world, which must end and the opposite must be done.
Effects of High Temperature on the Physiological and Antioxidation Abilities of Cucumber Seedlings
Authors: Yang Chao Yun
Published: August 2022

When cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.) are subjected to high-temperature environments (>35°C), their physiological structures are disrupted, affecting male–female flower inflorescence and fruit shapes, which are critical to cucumber quality. Accordingly, selecting heat-resistant cultivars is imperative in cucumber cultivation. This study tested three cucumber cultivars with varying resistance levels to high temperature: Wen nong 210, CU-127, and Ks No. 3. When the seedlings of these cultivars grew their primary leaves, leaf discs were collected and treated at varying temperatures; subsequently, relative injury (RI) was calculated to determine the cultivars’ cell membrane stability at high temperatures. The results revealed that Wen nong 210 sustained 50% RI at 54.1°C, exhibiting the greatest cell membrane stability, followed by CU-127, which sustained 50% RI at 53.9°C, and then Ks No. 3, which sustained 50% RI at 52.8°C. Analyzing the cultivars’ physiological indices indicated that, at 45°C, Ks No. 3 had the highest malondialdehyde (MDA) content but the lowest chlorophyll content, whereas Wen nong 210 had low MDA content but high chlorophyll content. Antioxidation analysis showed that at 45°C, Ks No. 3 and Wen nong 210 exhibited the lowest and highest ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity, respectively. Furthermore, at 35°C, Ks No. 3 exhibited high proline content. In summary, physiological indices (H2O2, MDA, and chlorophyll content), proline content, and APX activity can constitute the basis of heat resistance screening standards for cucumber plants grown under high-temperature conditions.

Effect of Potassium Fertilizer Rate on Growth, Yield and Yield Related Parameters of ‘Irish Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) at Bale Highlands
Authors: Gutema Chala
Published: August 2022

Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) is one of the most important food security and cash crops in Ethiopia. However, its productivity is generally low. The low yields of the crop could be attributed to a number of factors among which low soil fertility is an important constraint and there is little information on the type and rates of fertilizers to be applied for optimum production of the crop under different agro-ecological conditions of the country. Therefore, an on-farm experiment was conducted at Dinsho and Sinja, south-eastern Ethiopia, to assess the effect of potassium fertilizer rate on yield and yield related parameters of ‘Irish potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) at Bale Highlands. Factorial combinations of two potato varieties (Ararsa and Moti) and five rates of potassium fertilizer (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg K ha-1) were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Analysis of variance showed that the main effects of potassium fertilizer significantly influenced (days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of tuber per plant, number of marketable tuber per plot, marketable tuber yield and total tuber yield) had highly significant (P < 0.01) while non-significant for days to 90% maturity, number of unmarketable tuber per plant and unmarketable tuber yield. An improved varieties Ararsa and Moti were produce the highest marketable tuber yields of 21.23 t ha-1 and 19.50 t ha-1 respectively, with application of 100 kg KCl ha-1 and with the application of recommended rate of NP fertilizer while the lowest marketable yields of 15.01 t ha-1 and 14.96 t ha-1 from Ararsa and Moti Varieties, respectively, were obtained from unfertilized KCl fertilizers treatment, respectively. The economic analysis revealed that the highest net return of (187170 and 169620 ETB ha-1) with marginal rate of return (4764.29 and 1185.71%) were recorded for varieties of Ararsa and Moti respectively, at 100 kg KCl ha-1. Therefore, it can tentatively be concluded that application of 100kg KCl ha-1 and recommended rate of NP fertilizer best to optimum tuber production and economic returns for potato at Bale Highlands.

Development of an Autonomous Multifunctional Fruits Harvester
Authors: H Uguru
Published: August 2022

There is global shortage of food production due to inadequate workforce, to carry out crop production. This study strived to develop an autonomous system, which can harvest more than one type of crop with high accuracy to improve effectiveness, and minimized production and operational costs. To minimize the mechanical damage done to the fruits during the harvesting and handling operations, the system combined the mechanical properties and optical properties of the fruits during operation. Sensor was attached to the fruits collection container system to prevent overloading of the container, hence protecting the fruits from mechanical stresses. Results obtained for the laboratory trial revealed that the prototype robotic system had a higher performance (about 90%) when tested with pepper fruits, when compared with the performance rating (about 85%) recorded with eggplant fruits. It was also observed from the laboratory trials that the robotic system aborted the harvesting operation, whenever the weight of the fruits collection container exceeded the preset maximum permissible weight. The relatively high success rates recorded from the prototype results signified significant improvement in the development of autonomous multipurpose harvesters, using advanced technologies and robust data to produce a commercially viable automated fruits harvester.

Hence, this study aims to identify the factors affecting members’ marketing decisions through their multipurpose primary cooperatives in Hababo Guduru woreda, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data were used for this study. A two stage random sampling procedure was adopted to select four multipurpose cooperatives and a total of 193 sample respondents from the Woreda. Primary data pertaining to the years2017/18 and 2018/2019 was collected from the sampled respondents through semi structured questionnaire. The survey data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and double-hurdle model. About 52.3% and 47.7% of sample cooperative members were users and non-users of cooperatives as marketing agent. Results of the model analysis showed that in the first hurdle, educational status, access to credit, patronage refund, cooperatives price and position in cooperative management committees are played positive and significant role in members’ decision to participate in output marketing through cooperative. In the second hurdle; educational status, farm land size, yield obtained, patronage refund, and farming experience have positive and significant role in the volume of farm product sold through cooperative; while family size, and distance of cooperative from cooperative members residences were found to have negative and significant role. Educational status and patronage refund were found to affect both ‘decisions to participate and intensity of participation in farm product marketing through their primary multipurpose cooperative.
Stability in Advanced Gezira Population of Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench) at Drought Porne Environments in Sudan
Authors: Mohamed Hanan Abdel Tawab Sulman
Published: August 2022

In Sudan, grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), is the most important cereal crop, in terms of total acreage, production and consumption. One hundred and twenty S1 families were taken at random from an advanced random mating Gezira sorghum population (G S P-1) developed and improved for six cycles using S1 family selection, at Rain-fed Crop Research Centre for Arid and Semi-Arid areas (RCRCASA) in the University of Gezira, Wad Medani Sudan. The study was conducted during two seasons (2004-2005) to study genetic variability in the population (GSP-1) at four rain-fed areas in Sudan namely; Gedarif University farm at northern Gedarif environment (2004), Gedarif Research Station at northern Gedarif environment (2005), Rahad Scheme rain-fed at marginal Gedarif environment (2004) and Kasamoor North east Gedarif (2005). The design used was a modified Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two replications nested within six blocks. Stability was estimated for the 120 families yield (Kgh-1). The combined analysis over environments revealed significant differences between environments, which indicated that four environments are contrasting for evaluating the genotypes. In average over environments the genotypes have shown G×E interaction was not significant for yield, indicating relative ranking of the genotypes remained constant and yield was stable over all environments. The mean was1448Kgh-1. The Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) stability analysis with the first principal components (PCA1) axes for grain yield identified stable families as the families with a lower absolute PCA1 score which were 101, 95, 93, 96, 94, 103, 97, 102, 99, 100, 104, 98 respectively, would produce a lower absolute GE interaction effect and would have a less variable yield across the four Gedarf studied environments. These could provide a good source for sorghum improvement in Gedarif rain-fed area

Published: August 2022

The aim of the paper is to present challenges and general trends of agricultural development, as well as new concepts and forms of sustainable development linked with agriculture. As part of the concept of sustainable development, which has been widely recognized as a development paradigm, in recent years we have seen the emergence of more than a dozen new proposals which modify or complement mainstream of sustainable development. These concepts also apply to agriculture and rural areas. Based on an analysis of the literature, this paper presents selected concepts: the green economy, smart specializations, smart villages, the circular economy, responsible consumption and production, and the participatory economy. The role of international integration and EU authorities in disseminating these concepts as forms of innovation in the economic systems of the Member States of the European Union has been identified. The discussion is done from the point of agricultural development in Poland.

Published: August 2022

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common mucosal disease characterized by multiple recurrent, small, round, or oval ulcers with circumscribed margins, erythematous haloes, and yellow grey base. Although the exact etiology is unknown, various factors can trigger RAS development. Objectives: This study aims to determine the prevalence of self-reported RAS and to evaluate the associated risk factors of RAS among dental students. Material and methods: A set of validated questionnaires was distributed among the dental students in the Faculty of Dentistry, UiTM. The questionnaire comprises socio-demographic characteristics, nature of ulcers, risk factors, and treatment modalities. Data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed using Chi-square statistical test SPSS version 27. Results: A total of 299 dental students participated in the questionnaire survey. The prevalence of RAS among dental students was 90.3 %. There was no significant relationship between the socio-demographic background of participants with self-reported RAS. The most common site affected was the buccal mucosa 64.1%, followed by the lips 55.2%. Risk factors frequently associated with RAS are injury (trauma) and stress 47.8% and 28.1%, respectively. Most dental students (69.3%) do not get any treatment to treat their ulcers, and only 1.5% seek treatment from the dentist. Conclusions: This study highlights the high prevalence of self-reported RAS among dental students and common risk factors reported associated with the occurrence of RAS. Therefore, this data assists the clinician in identifying common associated risk factors of RAS and subsequently improve management and efficient therapeutics.

apoyo mutuo: un factor en la evolución de Piotr Kropotkin
Authors: Colodrón Valbuena Javier
Published: August 2022

Piotr Kropotkin está considerado uno de los principales autores clásicos del anarquismo, así como el padre de la corriente anarcocomunista. Una de sus mayores preocupaciones, plasmada en buena parte de su extensa producción, fue la búsqueda de una “explicación natural”, en términos relativamente darwinistas, de lo antinatural que resultaba para el ser humano el comportamiento social individualista e insolidario que, en cierta medida, derivaba del capitalismo salvaje y desenfrenado que dominó el mundo a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Esta es, precisamente, la temática sobre la que se desarrolla El apoyo mutuo: un factor en la evolución. El presente trabajo, elaborado a partir de la tercera edición en castellano de Nossa y Jara Ediciones, analiza, desde la óptica novedosa que nos ofrecen las Humanidades Digitales, la línea discursiva seguida por Kropotkin en esta obra. A través de la herramienta Voyants Tools, compuesta de varios paneles para la lectura académica y la interpretación de textos, hemos podido comprobar en qué términos se construyó la respuesta del pensador ruso a aquellos darwinistas sociales defensores de que aspectos como la explotación, las desigualdades o el individualismo capitalistas representaban un elemento más de la adaptación humana al medio natural.

PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR CORRECTING CHILDREN’S FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS DURING GLOBAL PANDEMIC
Authors: VLASOVA GALINA , TURCHIN ANATOLY , KARAPETYAN VLADIMIR
Published: August 2022

The article presents the content, forms and methods of professional development of teachers, psychologists and parents in the field of mental health of preschool children. It has been proven that more factors influence on children’s upbringing and development than congenital one. The study of the main determining role in the mental development of the child is presented in the form of objects and sign system. Harmonious development of children largely depends on their psychic health, so the issue of psychic health formation is still relevant.

Focusing on global mitigation measures and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapidly changing situation, the entire conversation in the media and in society is focused only on the occurrence of the disease, while a large amount of information falls on children. It has been found that the "transmission" of stress and anxiety by adults in everyday life and social environment to children, with all its changes, can help to cope with difficult situations if parents avoid difficult conversations about feelings and events, expressing concerns.
THE IMAGE OF ONE CHARACTER IN GURGEN KHANJYAN՛S "KILL THE SAVIOR" NOVEL
Authors: MANUCHARYAN KAREN
Published: August 2022

The article discusses the narrative style of "Kill the Savior" by Gurgen Khanjyan's. With structural method, we presented technical features of one character's perspective. The mode of the story is conditional omniscience of the author limited to the point of view of one character.

The main conflict of the novel is between pagan and Christian worldviews which has been shown for many times in Armenian and world literature. According to Khanjyan, that clash has been modernized to a certain extent and was conducted due to the socio-political transition of independent Armenia. The novel "Kill the Savior" presents the main character Chunak's chain of actions in search of the Savior. Having received an order to kill the savior, Chunak meets various people who, for the most part, convey information about Jesus in a mocking tone. Throughout the action, the Savior never appears in the reader's view. He completely fits into the convention of the missing character. The fact that the Savior is always hidden also contributes to the mystery of his character. In order to present all this more artistically and convincingly G. Khanjyan chose the perspective of one character. The features of that method are consistently preserved throughout the novel.

Published: August 2022

Scientific, technological, economic, political, cultural and other spheres’ dramatic improvements make us develop and enrich a person’s lexicon with new words and terms. Teaching of terms provides the study of different scientific categories, contributes outlook, enriches lexicon and develops thinking. From this, each disciplinary textbook is a huge source to expand students’ lexicon with new words and terms. While teaching different discipline, giving explanation on the semantic and characteristic features of the terms, commenting on them, we provide an opportunity for students to recognize the world, phenomena which forms their outlook. The course of the native language of the middle classes, has a practical nature giving teachers of the Armenian language and literature opportunities for setting tasks in the field of teaching lexicology, observation and analysis original materials, and partly serves to teach word combinations by highlighting intra-subject, inter-subject and extra-subject connections with the goal of professional orientation of the student. Due to teaching terms in different scientific spheres, it becomes possible to form such a terminological system within students which is more than sufficient to consider the students’ lexicon to be rich and varied. For that aim analysis, suggested recommendations and approaches determine the novelty of the article.

Published: August 2022

The article discusses the issue of organization of education in higher educational institutions, particularly in the field of dentistry, and its peculiarities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The analyzes and studies made for this purpose determine the novelty of the article.

COVID-19 was a global significant challenge for healthcare professionals, educational institutions, instructors and students. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused trouble in the field of dentistry, both in clinical practice and in education. However, technological capabilities currently allow upgrading teaching methods through the introduction of digital concepts and making distance learning, or online education possible. The COVID-19 crisis also showed that universities appeared not to be ready for a drastic change in teaching methods. Moreover, education around the world used to underestimate the innovative technologies and potential of the Internet in education. The pandemic forced us to reevaluate the methodology of organizing education and apply new tools in this field. In addition, proper application of the methods helps overcome the stress caused by COVID-19. Although remote education is incomplete, it is still foremost solution to provide education in the current situation. The difficulties, arose in clinical practice, were later overcome by introducing online and offline hybrid teaching mode.
Perceıved Learnıng Dıffıcultıes of Students in Flexıble Learnıng in a Phılıppıne State College

Published: August 2022

The sudden shift from traditional classes to flexible learning due to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to numerous challenges. This descriptive research study was conducted at Iloilo State College of Fisheries to determine the perceived learning difficulties of the Second-Year College of Education students for the year 2021-2022. Data were obtained using a 20-item online survey questionnaire from 86 purposively selected respondents and subjected to certain computerized statistical tools for the analysis. The data revealed that students struggled mainly because of a lack of internet connection at home, long exposure to their gadgets, and balancing household chores and online activities. Thus, the slow internet connection may be improved, online classes may be limited only to one hour, and teachers may become more compassionate and understanding to students and attend various seminars to create an effective learning environment, improve teaching-learning situations using modern instructional devices and inspire them to become better teachers in the modern world. Infrastructure and mechanisms may also be established to reduce the interruption of learning and provide quality materials for education.

Changes in the international wine trade and policies for the promotion of moldovan wines
Authors: Johnbull Ugbo
Published: August 2022

From an economic perspective, the COVID-19 crisis has been an exogenous shock to most local and international markets. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, physical separation (or social distancing) to prevent the spread of the virus has led to feelings of isolation and loneliness, increasing the prevalence of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders, and insomnia in the population. However, during the lockdown, technological devices have provided a way for people to maintain social connections with friends, family, their social networks, and/or the wider community. This article analyzes the changes on the international wine market and estimates the exports of Moldovan wine, especially in the neighboring region, which includes Romania, Ukraine and Bulgaria to Nigeria, considered a new market and characterized by the lack of traditions in wine consumption.

The decline in groundwater levels is a cause of concern in many regions of the world, including the Sand Ridge of Hungary. The causes of the regional depletion range from rising air temperatures, changes in precipitation, domestic and agricultural groundwater use and past amelioration and recent afforestation, including the effects of drilling for crude oil exploration. The relations between the decline, the soil water regime and groundwater recharge under existing aged forests remained unclear thus far. Based on our monitoring of groundwater and soil moisture we aim to clarify this interplay in a new experimental site on the hilltop of the Sand Ridge. We compared three land-uses: a 41-year-old black locust (Robinia Pseudoacacia) offshoot forest, an 83-year-old first generation black pine (Pinus nigra) forest, and a grassland control site. The observed differences in the soil moisture profiles and dynamics were connected to the use of water by the given type of vegetation. We indicated a connection between the disruption of the groundwater recharge and the loss of contact of the rooting system of the forests with the deepening of the unconfined aquifer. Even if the aged forests could locally contribute to the decline, we conclude that the decline at the hilltop site that may be more strongly driven by other regional factors.
The Nexus between Uncertainty Avoidance Culture and Risk-taking Behaviour in Entrepreneurial Firms’ Decision Making
Authors: Bate Adisu Fanta
Published: August 2022

Purpose: The concerted effect of national culture and risk-taking behaviour of individuals on decision-making has not been given much attention in the literature. This paper, thus, attempts to investigate how the two variables, separately and jointly, affect the decision-making of firms.

Methodology: The review pursues systematic literature review methodology. The keywords constituted in a series of search queries include risk-taking, or risk-taking behaviour, risk taking propensity, risk aversion, uncertainty avoidance, uncertainty avoidance national culture, fear of unknown or future, and uncertainty avoidance culture and risk-taking. The review of the studies addresses more than thirty-five countries over the years 1975–2021.

Findings: The review result re-boosts the existing negative relationship between a high uncertainty avoidance culture and risk-taking behaviour. When the level of risk-taking is increased, the effect of uncertainty avoidance culture gets decreased, which thereof helps to reduce resistance to change in firms. The latter institutes a greater fear of failure, lower level of ambition, and less tolerance for ambiguity that result in low risk-taking appetite. Their concurrent effect is realized in various decision-making contexts including firms’ entry and investment decisions, customer buying decisions, self – versus group decisions, and policy decisions.

Value Added: As a result, firms may need to consider the risk-taking behaviour and uncertainty avoidance culture of employees for certain jobs, consumers for marketing, managers for an international assignment in risky positions, and of individual countries for business expansion. The study claims to have added significant value to the practical and theoretical discourse of uncertainty avoidance national culture and risk-taking behaviour in business decision-making scenarios.
The Role of a Behavioural Model for the Virtual Commissioning of Robotic Manufacturing Systems
Authors: Skýpala Richard , Ružarovský Roman
Published: August 2022

This paper focuses on virtual commissioning of a robotic manufacturing system, its theoretical background, and an analysis of its importance in the design of automated and robotic systems. Virtual commissioning allows the PLC control program to be tested and debugged on a created digital model of the machine, called a digital twin of the machine. Just this solution can simulate and optimize the automated system design itself without the need to have real hardware (PLC, automation elements, or the whole machine/equipment). Virtual commissioning offers an effective alternative to reduce the risks and effort of real commissioning of the machine. This makes it possible to reduce the time to market and increase flexibility, efficiency, and quality. Virtual commissioning in a single-control system is a simple solution; we can either use the Software-in-the-Loop method with emulated PLC control, simulated behavioural model, and co-simulation model or Hardware-in-the-Loop method with real controller. The problem appears when we have various types of controller, including an industrial robot controller. The paper deals with the theoretical background and partial outlines of solutions in the use of different types of the control system, if interconnections or emulators for different control systems are available. The recommended solution is to use a separate solution for the 3D simulation of the robotic system and an independent solution for the behavioural model, which will be tested in the future.

Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan terapi oksigen hiperbarik (TOHB) dan interleukin (IL) -6 terhadap  penyembuhan luka setelah dilakukan operasi pada fraktur  tibia. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan randomized controlled trial yang membandingkan pasien dengan TOHB dan kontrol (tanpa TOHB). Semua pasien menjalani operasi reduksi terbuka dan fiksasi internal. Pasien dengan TOHB akan mendapatkan terapi oksigen hiperbarik. Luka operasi dan kadar IL-6 dievaluasi dua minggu pasca operasi untuk melihat ada tidaknya dehisensi. Hasil: Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa kadar faktor inflamasi jauh lebih rendah pada kelompok TOHB dibanding kontrol (31,1 vs 38,4 pg/mL; p = 0,003). Kadar IL-6 secara keseluruhan turun menjadi 20 pg/mL setelah terapi, dimana kelompok TOHB memiliki kadar IL-6 yang jauh lebih rendah dibandingkan kontrol (median 16,4 vs 35,4 pg/mL; p < 0,001). Pemberian oksigen hiperbarik berperan terhadap rerata penurunan IL-6 sebesar 11,07 pg/mL (IK 95% 7,80- 14,34 pg/mL; p <0,001) lebih tinggi pada mereka yang menerima terapi tersebut dibandingkan kontrol. Simpulan: TOHB dapat mencegah terjadinya dehisensi luka dengan mengurangi edema yang ditandai dengan penurunan kadar IL-6.

Published: August 2022

Background: Long-gap Esophageal Atresia (LGEA) remains one of the most challenging congenital conditions. When primary anastomoses attempts had failed, esophageal replacement (ER) is indicated in these patients. Some infants with LGEA are born with other congenital anomalies, such as rectourethral fistula. In this study, we reported our experience in managing newborn with LGEA and rectourethral fistula. Case: A 1-day-old male neonate complained of unable to swallow any breast milk and presence of feces-like discharge from external urethral orifice within 24 hours after birth. Oral gastric tube was unable to pass into the stomach and x-ray examination revealed curled gastric tube in esophagus, and there wasn’t any bubble seen from patient’s stomach. Patient then was diagnosed with long gap esophageal atresia without fistula. Esophageal replacements using left colon interposition technique was performed as closing and final procedure.  Gastrostomy tube insertion, sigmoid colostomy, and cervical esophagostomy were immediately performed. Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) for patient’s recto-urethral fistula were performed six months after sigmoid colostomy. Patient was hospitalized with total of 32 days and gastric feeding tube can be removed three months after surgery. Conclusion: colon interposition can be safely used in long gap esophageal atreasia although patient had undergone previous colostomy repair. Long-term follow up will be needed. Further large-scale studies regarding this matter are necessary and hopefully comprehensive treatment can be established in the future.
