Authors: Sakakibara Koichi , Shigemi Daisuke , Toriumi Rena , Michihata Nobuaki , Yasunaga Hideo
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND

Many pregnant and lactating women are concerned about medication. Most women of reproductive age use medicines before, during, and after pregnancy, and they are aware that not all medicines are safe for them and their babies. While women face such concerns daily, they usually have few opportunities to communicate with healthcare professionals about safe medication use because of the limited availability of services and difficulty in making appointments.

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluated the user experience of a medical chatbot service that provides medicine use information to pregnant and lactating women by investigating users’ consultation categories, satisfaction levels, and post-use health problems.

METHODS

We collected the user data of a medical chatbot service providing medicine use information for pregnant and lactating women in Japan (Kusuribo) between December 13, 2021, and August 10, 2022. The satisfaction-related question was placed below the recommendation statements of the chatbot. An additional survey was distributed to collect post-health problem data from residents within one of the municipalities. The user status of this service (number of weeks of pregnancy, number of postpartum months, breastfeeding method, consultation categories, and preexisting conditions/complications) was presented, and the average level of satisfaction was calculated for all users and for each consultation category. The proportion of post-use problems was evaluated using the survey responses. χ2 and Fisher’s exact tests were conducted to assess the differences in user status and satisfaction levels.

RESULTS

The study included 1,000 records comprising 419 (41.9%) cases by pregnant women and 581 (58.1%) cases by lactating women. The response rate for the satisfaction question was 32.7%. The most frequently consulted categories in both groups were headache, cold symptoms, and hay fever symptoms. Of all users, 11.8% reported having preexisting medical or chronic complications, with bronchial asthma being the most prevalent (35.6%). The overall satisfaction rate was 93.9%, and the satisfaction levels of the two user groups showed no significant difference (P = .866). High satisfaction levels were observed across the consultation categories. An additional questionnaire was sent to 70 users, of whom 28 (40%) responded. None of the users indicated that they experienced health problems after using the service.

CONCLUSIONS

A medical chatbot service that provides medicine use information to women during pregnancy and lactation can achieve high satisfaction and safety.

Authors: Saad Hassan , M. Shammari Ahmed Z. , AlKareem Salah S. Abed
Published: June 2023

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a metal forming technology in which small incremental deformations determine the final shape. The sheet is deformed by a hemispherical tool that follows the required shape contour to deform the sheet into the desired geometry. In this study, single point incremental sheet forming (SPIF) has been implemented in dentistry to manufacture a denture plate using two types of stainless steel, 304 and 316L, with an initial thickness of 0.5mm and 0.8mm, respectively. Stainless steel was selected due to its biocompatibility and reasonable cost. A three-dimensional (3D) analysis procedure was conducted to evaluate the manufactured part's geometrical accuracy and thickness distribution. The obtained results confirm the capability of SPIF to produce thin-walled biomedical components with satisfactory dimensional accuracy, as geometrical deviations between the developed and the actual models are predominantly in the range of ±0.25mm.

Malang City Urban Community’s Perception towards Religion and Islamic Education
Authors: Kamaludin Mohammad
Published: June 2023

Malang is known as a city of education, industry, and tourism. With these three names and with the various problems that exist in it, Malang is certain to experience changes in its social relations quickly. Starting from the emergence of the assumption that there has been a change in urban society, especially the view of religion, this study focuses on two aspects, namely the perception of the people of Malang towards religion and how Islamic education affects their daily religious attitudes. The results of observations made by researchers show that the level of education of the urban community is very heterogeneous. However, they were at a fairly high level of ability. This is reflected in several answers to interviews asked by the researcher. None of them did not understand certain terms related to religious education and its elements, such as improving the quality of life, religious phenomena, and others. Therefore, this finding is very different from the previous assumption which states that Malang residents will leave their religion due to various external influences caused by the increasing arrival of urban communities, industry, and tourism.

Published: June 2023

Diseases or damage to the retina that cause adverse effects are one of the most common reasons people lose their sight at an early age. Today, machine learning techniques, which give high accuracy results in a short time, have been used for disease detection in the biomedical field. Optical coherence tomography, an advanced ophthalmic imaging technique to display the cross-section of retinal layers, is one of the important tools used for the determination, analysis and treatment design of retinal diseases. The aim of this study is to detect eight retinal diseases that can occur in the eye and cause permanent damage as a result, using machine learning from eye tomography images. For this purpose, hyperparameter settings were applied to six deep learning models, training was performed on the OCT-C8 dataset and performance analyzes were made. The performance of these hyperparameter-tuned models was also compared with previous eye disease detection studies in the literature, and it was seen that the classification success of the hyperparameter-tuned DenseNet121 model presented in this study was higher than the success of the other models discussed. The fine-tuned DenseNet121 classifier achieved 97.79% accuracy, 97.69% sensitivity, and 97.79% precision for the OCT-C8 dataset.

Published: June 2023

In this paper, based on the regulation characteristics of electronic
expansion valve, an experimental platform is built for studying a vehicle
heat pump system. Under an ultra-low temperature condition of -10?C, the
influence of the super-heat setting value of the electronic expansion valve
on the main heating performance parameters of the system is analyzed. The
results show that when the superheat setting value of the main valve
increases from 2 K to 8 K, the discharge temperature of the compressor
increases, the heating capacity of the system decreases by 12.6%, and the
compressor power decreases by 15.9%. When the superheat setting value of
make-up valve increases from 15 K to 30 K, the discharge temperature of the
compressor increases, the heating capacity of the system decreases by
17.7%, and the compressor power decreases by 22.0%.

Making the Case for Diversity: Exploring the Use of Case Studies for Underrepresented Minorities in the Accounting Curriculum
Authors: Pelzer Josette R. E. , Booker Danielle , Pencle Nadra , Brown Veena L.
Published: June 2023

This study explores the viability of case studies as a tool to help advance efforts toward decolonization of the accounting curriculum by incorporating the perspectives and experiences of underrepresented minorities (URMs). We evaluate the current level of representation in accounting case studies, and faculty willingness to use more representative case studies. We evaluate faculty responses using the Banks (2014) curriculum transformation framework. Hand-collected case study data for 2015–2021 reveal that only two of 351 case studies have URM representation. Survey responses indicate faculty are willing to make less disruptive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-related curricular changes, but also provide evidence of barriers to changes which would require significant content modifications. We offer recommendations to increase URM representation in case studies and overcome these barriers, advancing toward a curriculum that better reflects URMs’ views and prepares students to better interact and collaborate effectively within a diverse workforce.
Cybersecurity Breach at a Big 4 Accounting Firm: Effects on Auditor Reputation
Authors: Litt Barri , Tanyi Paul , Weidenmier Watson Marcia
Published: June 2023

Public company investors rely on the Big 4 audit firms to provide assurance over internal controls and financial reporting. What, then, would happen if one of these very assurance providers suffered its own cybersecurity breach? We examine such an event in the major data breach of Deloitte in 2017. Using U.S. data from 2014 to 2019, we find Deloitte suffered significant reputational damage postbreach. Specifically, audit clients and existing shareholders became less likely to approve of Deloitte as the company’s auditor. Deloitte also charged lower audit fees after the incident. Furthermore, Deloitte’s audit clients suffered significant negative market reactions postbreach. Our results suggest pervasive implications of cyberattacks on auditor reputation and support recent congressional efforts to expand regulation in this area.
Labor Market Institutions, Environmental Disclosure, and Environmental Impacts
Authors: Chu Hsuan-Lien , Liu Nai-Yng , Tsang Albert
Published: June 2023

We examine how country-level labor market characteristics affect corporate environmental disclosure practices and the environmental impacts of firms’ operations. Using a sample of firms from 36 countries over the 2005–2016 period, we show that firms domiciled in countries with more developed labor markets have higher levels of environmental disclosure and less damaging environmental impacts than firms in countries with less developed labor markets. In addition, we find that firms operating in countries with better-developed labor markets tend to reduce their environmental impacts through the purchase of goods and services rather than through substantive changes to their own operations. Taken together, the findings suggest that better-developed country-level labor market institutions play an important role in improving firms’ environmental disclosure and in reducing their environmental impacts.
Science at Stake – Russia and the Arctic Council
Authors: Andreeva Serafima
Published: June 2023

The discontinuation of cooperation with Russia in the Arctic Council in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine may severely impact Arctic climate science. Since its creation, the Arctic Council has been a symbol of diplomacy and values of scientific integrity. However, with all institutional research collaborations with Russia on hold and few windows open for researcher-to-researcher dialogue, the Arctic Council faces its most significant challenge to date. This article discusses possibilities for the maintenance and implementation of Arctic science with its Russian contributions and examines how conditions changed after February 24, 2022. The analysis is based on interviews with Russian researchers working on Arctic issues and participants in Arctic Council projects conducted after March 2022. The article maps out scientific practices in the Arctic Council and Russian Arctic science across three dimensions: knowledge translation, depoliticized scientific independence, and maintenance of researcher networks.
A New Approach for Enhancing Oil and Gas Recovery of the Hydrocarbon Fields with Low Permeability Reservoirs
Authors: SH AL-Obaidi
Published: June 2023

A universal and multifunctional method for developing problematic oil and gas fields with low-permeability reservoirs is presented in this paper. The method is based on maintaining reservoir pressure and identifying the hydrogen formation mechanism. According to the analysis of previous laboratory experiments, the article summarizes the results of a computer simulation of a method for developing oil and gas fields with low permeable reservoirs using the commercial software product tNavigator from Rock Flow Dynamics. The proposed method results in multiple times more oil production per each studied well than its production using the depletion mode. Using CO2 in this manner results in additional, useful utilization, and laboratory experiments have indicated that saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic hydrogen are produced as by-products of CO2 injection. Moreover, the proposed method offers similar technological and technical solutions as those that have long been used in the oil and gas industry

Implementation of the Projects of Permanent Structured Cooperation in the European Union Security and Defence: Problems and Challenges.
Authors: Dorosh Lesia
Published: June 2023

The article clarifies the key features of the implementation of projects within the framework of PESCO and their prospects, taking into account the coronavirus pandemic and the fact that the Russian-Ukrainian war since 2014 has gone beyond the regional framework and affected the foundations of international and European security. It also analyzes the PESCO Strategic Review 2020 and the guidelines for the PESCO next phase (2021–2025) in terms of overall purpose, key policy objectives, processes, and incentives to improve the implementation of more pressing commitments. The paper emphasizes that, according to the Strategic Review, 26 out of 46 projects will have been fully completed by 2025. These projects include a cyber academy and innovation centre, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear surveillance, crisis response operations, secure software-configured radio communications, medical command, military mobility, a network of logistics centres, and rapid response teams in cyberspace. The author has singled out the challenges on the way to the implementation of PESCO projects. It is about the disparity and inconsistency of such projects, the duration of their implementation and the need for coordination, financial challenges for the security and defence of the EU caused by both, the pandemic and the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. It is important that PESCO needs a clear transition to eliminate the shortcomings of strategic potential and openness for the full participation of non-EU members, including the UK. The establishment of PESCO is related to an ultimate need of a more effective defence of Europe, as well as significant results providing enhanced actions’ coordination and cooperation in the field of investment, capacity building and operational readiness. Expanded cooperation in these areas will allow reducing the number of different weapon systems in Europe and, as a result, will strengthen the operational interaction among the member states of the European Union. At the same time, these projects should be flexible and provide the opportunity for a growing number of states (mainly, associated ones or candidate countries including Ukraine) to fully participate.
Strengthening the Military Potential of the Bucharest Nine States in the Context of the russian-Ukrainian War.
Authors: Ivasechko Olha , Daniv Vira
Published: June 2023

The article focuses on strengthening the military potential of the Bucharest Nine (B9) states in the context of the russia's war in Ukraine. The authors clarify the reasons and goals of the consolidation of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe for cooperation within the framework of the Bucharest format. Prerequisites for changes in defense spending within NATO are described, namely, the russian-Ukrainian war. The reaction of the North Atlantic Alliance to Russia's armed attack on Ukraine is studied, in particular after the full-scale russian invasion. The main results of the NATO summit in Madrid, which took place in 2022, are considered, separately, the adoption of the new Strategic Concept of NATO. The features of the new security and defense model presented by J. Stoltenberg, which includes the protection of the Eastern flank of the Alliance and is based on three key pillars, are pointed, namely: 1) increased forward presence with more combat operations; 2) pre-deployment of military equipment to save time in conditions where mobilization of forces is required; 3) preliminary definition of units - these are forces that will undergo training in a certain territory, where they will have certain duties. The dynamics of defense expenditures of each of the participating countries of the Bucharest Nine format from the beginning of the russian-Ukrainian war in 2014 to the period after the open armed attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022 is presented. The information on the formation of the newest high-reaction combat groups of the North Atlantic Alliance and their location on the territory of the B9 member states to strengthen the military presence in countries that are at risk in the event of further escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war is covered. The data related to NATO military exercises within the framework of strengthening the eastern borders in connection with the intensification of the armed aggression of the russian federation are analyzed. As a result of the study, it is concluded that russian aggression against Ukraine is considered by the member states of the Alliance to be a colossal threat to the existence of peace and security in the Euro-Atlantic region. The authors predict a further increase in the military potential of the Bucharest Nine countries to maintain a stable security situation in the subregion.

Using the complex of general scientific, logical and empirical methods, the peculiarities and problems of holding elections to local self-government bodies of Ukraine in 2020, which took place in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been emphasized, that Ukrainian authorities didn’t follow the path of most foreign countries and decided not to postpone the date of local elections in 2020. Instead, the main accent was put on the use of special mechanisms of protection for Ukrainian citizens from the spread of coronavirus infection during the process of holding local elections. The authors prove, that the COVID-19 pandemic didn’t have a significant negative impact on 2020 local elections in Ukraine and didn’t cause major violations, which would question the legitimacy and democracy of election procedures. At the same time, the lowest voter turnout was mainly caused by the pandemic: almost a third of Ukrainian voters did not appear at the polling stations precisely for reasons related to the pandemic. It is also outlined, that during the 2020 local elections in Ukraine, a row of other negative factors of impact on electoral process and its quality (except of the factors directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic) appeared: in particular, the problems with financial provisions for introducing special measures for voting during the COVID-19 pandemic; changing election rules (adopting the Electoral Code) on the eve of local elections; insufficient state information policy regarding the clarification of the peculiarities of holding elections under the new electoral system in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shaping healthy lifestyle in high school seniors is one of the main challenges of society. The high school seniors' lifestyle is formed under the influence of their parents and teachers. The study was aimed to form a picture of the hygienic profile of high school seniors, their parents and teachers. An online questionnaire survey of 158 high school students aged 15–18, 113 parents, 202 teachers was carried out. It has been found that 88.6% of high school seniors spend much time on electronic gadgets, 37.2% spend more than three hours on homework, 39.9% sleep less than six hours per day, 35.3% drink alcohol, 12.7% have tried smoking, 4.0% smoke, 17.3% spend less than 60 min per day outdoors, 54.3% have insufficient physical activity, 25% do not follow principles of healthy eating, 25.1% eat cooked meals less than two times a day, 11.0% have a late supper. Among parents, spending much time on lectronic gadgets is reported in 30.1%, furthermore, 46.9% of them do nothing to improve their health, 55.7% sleep less than six hours per day, 25.6% drink alcohol, 11.5% smoke, 49.6% have insufficient physical activity, 20.4% do not follow principles of healthy eating, 15.0% have a late supper. As for teachers, spending much time on lectronic gadgets is reported in 37.8%, 41.7% of teachers do nothing to improve their health, 59.2% sleep less than six hours per day, 9.5% drink alcohol, 9.5% smoke, 42.8% have insufficient physical activity, 38.3% do not follow principles of healthy eating, 26.0% have a late supper. The hygienic profile of high school seniors, their parents and teachers demonstrates unhealthy lifestyle choices that pose a challenge for their lifestyle and health.

A new mite species, Gaeolaelaps leptaulax n. sp., collected on an endemic bess beetle, Leptaulax koreanus Nomura, Kon, Johki and Lee (Coleoptera: Passalidae), from Republic of Korea is described and illustrated based on morphological characters of female, male and protonymph specimens. In addition, an identification key to all known Korean species of the Gaeolaelaps is presented, and ambiguities on the identification of some previously recorded species of the genus are discussed.
Human-Engineered Self-Replicating Machines
Authors: Sewell Granville
Published: June 2023

How close are we really to a human-engineered self-replicating machine? A couple of thought experiments are proposed which help explain why such machines are still far beyond current human technology. And I conclude that we are unlikely to be successful in explaining how the self-replicating machines we see everywhere in the living world could have arisen through entirely natural causes, when we still do not know how such machines could be designed.
First Report of Direct Damage Caused by the Stubby-Root Nematode, Nanidorus minor, to Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa), in Florida

Published: June 2023

In 2019–2022, declining symptoms were observed in two commercial strawberry farms in Hillsborough County, Florida. The fields in the two farms consisted of raised beds covered by plastic mulch. Both were fumigated with a mixture of 1,3-dichloropropene (40%) + chloropicrin (60%) before planting. Samples collected from large patches with declining plants were infested with stubby-root nematodes. No sting and root-knot nematode species were detected. The results of morphological and molecular analyses indicated that the stubby-root nematode populations were representative of the species Nanidorus minor. The two cultivars ‘Florida Brilliance’ and ‘Florida Sensation’ in the two fields included plants with stubby root symptoms showing a reduction in the size of the root system and arrested growth and elongation of the feeder roots on the first strawberry crop. The nematode population densities in the two fields increased at the end of strawberry season and averaged 66 and 96 specimens in 200 cm3 soil. In one of the fields, a second strawberry crop was established as in the previous year using the same practices (fumigation and raised beds covered with plastic). However, in this field the population of N. minor declined and did not reach damaging levels at the end of the season on the second strawberry crop. The factors causing the decline of the nematode population were not elucidated. This is the first report of a direct damaging effect of N. minor to strawberry.

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) cause considerable economic losses to kiwifruit production annually. Screening of resistant cultivars has been one of the long-standing methods to manage root-knot nematodes. Here, the reaction of the four most common commercial cultivars of kiwifruit, namely, Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa cv. Hayward, A. chinensis var. deliciosa cv. Abbott, A. chinensis var. deliciosa cv. Bruno, and A. chinensis var. chinensis cv. Haegeum (commonly known as ‘Golden’ kiwifruit) to infection by the RKN, Meloidogyne incognita, was evaluated. Among examined cultivars ‘Golden’ was the most susceptible, having on average 52.8 galls, 56.1 egg masses per gram of root, and 642 J2 population per 200 gram of soil. ‘Bruno’ showed the highest resistance, with 3.3 galls, 4.1 egg masses per gram of root, and 79 J2 in 200 g of soil. Then, two potential biological control agents, namely Priestia megaterium 31.en and Agrobacterium tumefaciens 19.en were used on ‘Hayward’ seedlings against M. incognita and showed a significant reduction in the number of galls and egg masses on roots, juvenile population in the soil, and increased the growth parameters of the plants compared to non-treated seedlings. We demonstrated that integrated management using resistant cultivars and biological control can provide a safe and economic method to control RKN, and these resistant cultivars can be used in breeding programs.
Audience metrics as disruptive innovation: Analysing emotional work of Finnish journalism professionals
Authors: Ahva Laura , Ovaska Liisa
Published: June 2023

Audience metrics in journalism can be seen as a disruptive innovation: a technological invention that boosts journalism but at the same time disturbs it. The use of metrics has therefore drawn journalists into a sensitive sense-making process: They do emotional work to be able to manage the metrics-related requirements of their work. To further assess why metrics in Finland remains a sensitive issue, in this article we ask: 1) What is the Finnish news professionals’ emotional work about metrics directed at? 2) What is the relationship between this emotional work and the cycle of disruption and innovation? The empirical material consists of nine qualitative interviews with Finnish news managers and a set of open-ended survey responses from the editorial staff of the largest Finnish daily, Helsingin Sanomat. In addition, eight background interviews with third-party analytics providers were used as supportive material. We conclude that the emotional work is centred on relief, excitement, and stress, and it is directed at seeing the audience as an algorithmic conception, increasing the organisations’ capabilities through learning, and maintaining autonomy, respectively. Emotional work thus alleviates and stimulates, as well as balances journalism's relationship with the disruptive innovation of metrics.
