Authors:   Monash University, Perdana Arif , Lee Hwee-Hoon ,   Singapore Institute of Technology, Jutasompakorn Pearpilai ,   Singapore Institute of Technology
Published: September 2023

Abstract Background: Crowdlending is increasingly popular among investors as a means of alternative investment or for raising capital. This platform emerged in Asia in 2009, with China being one of the earliest countries to introduce crowdlending. Since its inception over a decade ago, the industry has grown significantly; yet multiple unresolved issues remain. Method: Using computer-assisted textual analysis and content analysis, our study examined articles from representative online newspapers in Asian countries to understand crowdlending diffusion in Asia, both within China and outside China. Results: Using the issue-attention cycle and the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory, our analysis of news excerpts relating to crowdlending over a ten-year period (2009-2019) showed that crowdlending diffusion took two different paths. In China, it started with the practical use of crowdlending, with government regulations introduced after numerous problems emerged. In contrast, outside China, the rules were enacted simultaneously with IT artifact and practice. Furthermore, in connecting the DOI theory with an IT-based regulatory system, we demonstrated the usefulness this approach in explaining how DOI can inform IT sensemaking and rulemaking, which can help crowdlending practitioners remove potential impediments from crowdlending practices. Lastly, media coverage on crowdlending practices was found to have offered multiple perspectives, which could have had an impact on public opinion and attitude towards the new technology. Conclusion: Our study’s chief contribution lies in showing how media facilitates crowdlending diffusion. In painting a broad picture of crowdlending in Asia, we show that media can help the public, practitioners, and governments to be aware of the crowdlending platform’s potential risks and to find ways to mitigate them. Knowing about crowdlending diffusion can help authorities in Asian countries consider more effective ways of regulating the industry. Hence, media as a contextual factor could be considered in other innovation research and IT-based regulation frameworks.

Published: September 2023

Background. The choice of the method and options for surgical treatment of degenerative pathology of the lumbar spine is difficult due to the lack of clear clinical and radiological criteria for diagnosis and a direct correlation between the severity of the radiological manifestations of the disease and clinical symptoms.
The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and neurological characteristics of elderly patients with degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine and to identify the dominant clinical and radiologic syndromes.
Methods. Сohort of 1013 patients were operated using MIS technologies (decompression alone, TLIF, LLIF, ALIF) in the period 2013–2017 (367 male/646 female). The age range is 60-89 years (mean 66 years). The criteria for identifying the leading syndromes: leg pain/back pain with a threshold value of 5 points according to VAS, X-ray criteria for clinical instability by A.A. White and M.M. Panjabi (value 5 points), Cobb angle 10°, markers of sagittal imbalance: Index Barrey (II and III), PT increase above target values, L4-S1 and LL deficiency.
Results. Symptoms of compression were identified in 97% of patients. Radiculopathy syndrome was detected in 665 (66%) patients with mean leg pain 7 points, neurogenic intermittent claudication — in 319 (31%) patients. Degenerative spondylolisthesis according to radiological criteria was detected in 428 (42%) patients. Degenerative scoliotic deformity had 91 (9%) patients. In accordance with the proposed criteria, the dominant compression syndrome was determined in 624 patients (62%), clinical instability syndrome — in 338 (33%), deformity syndrome with sagittal imbalance — in 51 (5%).
Conclusion. Syndromic assessment of clinical, neurological and radiological manifestations of degenerative disorders provides the possibility of identifying the dominant syndrome requiring operative surgical treatment and a differentiated approach to choosing the optimal surgical option.
Atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic kidney disease: features of pathogenesis and treatment
Authors: Bakulina Natalia V. , Scherbakov Michail R. , Anikonova Lyudmila I.
Published: September 2023

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia in adults, the frequency of which increases in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The substrate for the development of AF is atrial cardiomyopathy, which includes structural, electrophysiological and molecular remodeling of the atria. AF, in turn, can initiate and accelerate the progression of CKD. Such a bidirectional relationship causes a frequent combination of these two conditions, leading to both a prothrombotic state and an increased risk of bleeding. In patients with CKD, the pharmacokinetics of drugs used in AF are changing, what limits their use in CKD S4/S5. If previously patients with CKD S4-5 were excluded from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on treatment strategies for AF, a number of such studies on their management have been published to date. The purpose of the article is to review existing ideas about the features of the pathogenesis of AF in CKD and strategies of recent years for the treatment of AF with advanced stages of CKD.

Authors:   The Korean Logistics Research Association, Sung Ki-Deok
Published: September 2023

This research paper presents an exploratory study on the cargo information network, with the objective of proposing a competitive plan for a smart platform and evaluating the status of the related industry. Traditionally, the cargo information network has primarily focused on the transportation sector within the traditional freight market. However, in order to facilitate the expansion of the smart platform, it is crucial to prioritize public interest and establish stable partnerships with relevant industries, while considering the scalability of new businesses and the values and roles of each industry. This approach promotes a well-rounded and balanced development. In this study, the structure of the smart cargo information network platform business was reviewed to ensure its scalability. Surveys were conducted on current domestic and international cargo information networks. Additionally, through comprehensive interviews and data collection from related sectors, three primary factors and nine secondary factors were analyzed. From this analysis, competitive factors were identified. To enhance the competitiveness of the cargo information network in the development of a smart platform, priority elements were determined using the Fuzzy-AHP methodology. These elements encompassed transportation support services, financial support services, and computer support services. Auto insurance product support, vehicle consumables, and light maintenance support were subsequently ranked in order of importance. This research offers significant insights by proposing a growth strategy for the cargo information network, which enhances the competitiveness of the intelligent platform. It is anticipated that in the future, digital technology will serve as an integrated approach to developing the cargo information network.

Published: September 2023

This study analyzed the economic impact of the logistics industry in Shandong Province by utilizing the 2007, 2012, and 2017 industry linkage tables published by the Shandong Provincial Bureau of Statistics, which aimed to understand the economic impact and to serve as a policy reference for the future development of the logistics industry in Shandong Province. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the column sum of the output induced coefficient of the logistics industry in Shandong Province of China, that is 1.407 in 2007, 3.658 in 2012, and 5.050 in 2017. Meanwhile, the row sum is 2.142 in 2007, 2.910 in 2012, and 3.291 in 2017. Except for manufacturing, the logistics industry in Shandong Province is generally considered to be an immature industry with low output induced effect, which means that the logistics industry in Shandong Province has a greater impact than other industries. Second, the sensitivity coefficient of Shandong’s logistics industry was 0.495 in 2007, 1.097 in 2012, and 1.423 in 2017, and the influence coefficient was 0.721 in 2007, 0.873 in 2012, and 0.928 in 2017. This indicates that the logistics industry in Shandong is sensitive to changes in the final demand of other industries and has a strong influence on others Third, the income induced coefficient of the logistics industry in Shandong is lower than that of other industries, which means that the opportunities for the entire logistics industry to create added value are mostly domestic. Fourth, the income induced by the final demand of the logistics industry in Shandong Province was 437.5 billion RMB in 2007, 230.19 billion RMB in 2012, and 207.08 billion RMB in 2017, indicating that the income induced by the final demand of the logistics industry is constantly increasing as the output scale of the logistics industry in Shandong Province continues to grow. Fifth, in 2007, 2012 and 2017, the total labor induced effects of the logistics industry in Shandong Province were 13,057.5, 793,569.9 and 479,856.5 respectively, of which the logistics industry accounted for 987.6, 21,308.5 and 15,687.3 respectively. As a result, it can be seen that with the continuous increase in the output scale of the logistics industry in Shandong Province, the income generating effect logistics industry’s final demand is growing. As a national strategic industry, it can lead other industries in China and be great potential to be listed. The logistics industry in Shandong Province needs government policy support and the development of a new “informationized logistics model”

Authors:   The Korean Logistics Research Association, Kim Joonhyeong Joseph
Published: September 2023

A purpose of this study is to present research trends on tourism supply chain by analyzing keyword frequencies, TF-IDF, co-occurring keywords, and keyword network(degree, betweenness, closeness, and eigenvector centrality) for two periods of time between 1999 and 2016, and 2017 and 2023 in consideration of the fact that research on tourism supply chain has relatively not received much attention compared to the research on supply chain management in general. The main points of findings regarding the chosen analyses are as follows. First, according to the TF-IDF analyses, numerous studies including a keyword of hotel were conducted between 1999 and 2016, whereas more attention has been paid into cruise, food, service, technology, etc. Second, as a result of co-occurrence keyword analyses, destination-specific environment and use of resources in the tourism supply chains were found to be noticeable in the period of 1999 and 2016, the frequently appearing research theme has been related to food-tourist, supply-chain, and sustainable-tourism since 2017. Third, various keyword network analyses show that keywords such as management and destination, positioned in the center of the keyword network, have activley mediated the terms in the period of time between 1999 and 2015, while service-related issues in tourism supply chains have proliferated since 2017. It is suggested that the current study has provided a basis for understanding a shift in the research trends on the chosen research topic by analyzing tourism supply chain research articles for two sub-periods (1999∼2016; 2017∼2023).
A Study on the Factors Influencing the Logistics Demand of Yangtze River Inland Ports
Authors:   The Korean Logistics Research Association, Wu Zhen , Kim Hyun-Chung
Published: September 2023

This study examines the level of logistics demand for 22 inland ports along the Yangtze River in China and analyzes the factors determining this demand. To achieve this, a fixed effects model was used to explore the relationships between each port’s logistics demand and various variables, including economic factors, infrastructure factors, and national policies. The analysis reveals that the highest logistics demand appears in the lower Yangtze region, particularly in the eastern coastal areas where the economy and port infrastructure are well developed. Additionally, China’s Belt and Road strategy was found to significantly influence the logistics demand of inland ports. This research can provide insights into the pattern of logistics demand for China’s inland ports, assisting in the formulation of effective port and logistics infrastructure strategies. While the Korean government and industrial stakeholders are focusing on China’s coastal areas, China’s inland areas are rapidly growing, and this growth is likely to be amplified through the Yangtze River’s inland ports. The findings of this study suggest a strategic imperative for South Korea and China to prioritize the establishment of maritime and logistics infrastructure in areas of heightened economic activity, a move projected to catalyze the creation of novel business opportunities. Furthermore, it can provide essential guidelines for the efficient design and operation of logistics networks and the establishment of sustainable logistics systems.
A digital radiography study of the detectability of simulated cracks in 301 stainless steel
Authors: Adams P M , Kenderian S , Gregorian A
Published: September 2023

A series of simulated cracks in 301 stainless steel (SS), consisting of slits with depths from 12.8% to 40% of the plate thickness, is fabricated in this study. The examination includes a microfocus X-ray tube and a digital detector array (DDA) with 0.075 mm pixels at three angles of
incidence (0°, 5° and 10°). The basis of the methodology for the minimum detectable slit width stems from the noise statistics in the images and a minimum detectable contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of 3. These minimum detectable widths range from 0.019 mm to 0.003 mm for 12.8%-deep
and 40.0%-deep slits, respectively, for the 0° incidence condition. As the incident angle increases to 10°, the size of the minimum detectable slit width also increases, up to a factor of two for the shallower slits. It is noted that these simulated cracks, which have straight
parallel sides and flat bottoms, do not accurately represent natural cracks that have irregular paths and taper at depth. Therefore, the results in this study represent the best scenario for detection, establishing some bounds of crack width detectability.

Published: September 2023

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been reported to have inhibitory activity against foodborne causative bacteria, some of which are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). The aim of this study was to isolate halotolerant lactic acid bacteria (HLAB) from fermented fish products, namely pakasam and wadi, and to determine their potential to inhibit the growth of contaminant bacteria and biogenic amine-producing bacteria. Isolation of HLAB was performed using De Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe agar (MRSA) supplemented with 1% CaCO3 and 7% NaCl. Colonies that grew and showed clear zones continued to undergo halotolerant growth tests in MRS broth with several NaCl concentrations. Two selected isolates were identified as lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus sp. GMP1 and Weisella sp. GMP12. The isolation of antibacterial compounds targeting bacteriocin was carried out by fermentation in MRSB media at 37°C for 24 h, followed by separation of the supernatant and isolation of the antibacterial compounds by precipitation with ammonium sulfate and dialysis. Antibacterial activity tests showed that bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus sp. GMP1 and Weisella sp. GMP12 is able to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6,538 with bacteriocin activity of 5,868.19 AU and 3,693.60 AU, respectively. Bacteriocins can also inhibit Salmonella spp.. 230C with bacteriocin activity respectively is 1,696.39 AU and 2,254.17 AU, respectively, whereas only Weisella sp. GMP12 inhibits Klebsiella sp. CK2 with bacteriocin activity is 3,165.51 AU. These results indicate that Lactobacillus sp. GMP1 and Weisella sp. GMP12 has the potential to be used as a starter culture in fermented products.

AbstractThe Apgar score is applied immediately after birth to clinically evaluate the newborn, at the first and fifth minutes of life. The Apgar score can help diagnose scenarios of neonatal anoxia or hypoxia. This is a retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study that used secondary data from DATASUS (Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System), from 1994 to 2018. The studied population includes all live births in Brazil during this period. The inclusion criteria were pregnant women over 15 years old, and the exclusion criteria were multiple pregnancies, pregnancies lasting less than 37 weeks, and newborns with congenital anomalies. These criteria were established to reduce potential confounding factors in the analysis that could lead to errors in interpretation of the results. The variables studied were place of delivery, type of delivery, and number of prenatal consultations. As results, having 7 or more prenatal consultations is a protective factor for alterations in the Apgar score, as well as cesarean delivery and hospital delivery. It was observed that pregnancy care, regarding the studied variables, influences the Apgar score. However, future studies in different populations are necessary to confirm these results.

ResumoO índice de Apgar é aplicado imediatamente após o nascimento, para avaliação clínica do recém-nascido, no primeiro e quinto minutos de vida. O índice de apgar é capaz de ajuda a diagnosticar cenários de anóxia ou hipóxia neonatal. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, descritivo e analítico, que utilizou dados secundários do DATASUS (Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde), de 1994 a 2018. A população estudada compreende todos os nascidos vivos no Brasil nesse período. Cujo critérios de inclusão foram: gestantes maiores de 15 anos e os critérios para a excluídas das gestantes, foram: gestações duplas, triplas e mais, gestações com menos de 37 semanas e recém-nascidos com anomalias congênitas, taís critérios foram estabelcidos afim de diminuir potenciais fatores de confusão a análise, que possam direcionar a discussão dos resultados ao erro de interpretação. As variáveis estudadas foram: local de parto, tipo de parto e número de consultas de pré-natal. Como resultados, possuir 7 ou mais consultas pré-natais, é um fator protetor para alterações no índice de Apgar, assim como parto cesáreo e parto hospitalar. Observou-se que os cuidados com a gravidez, no que diz respeito às variáveis estudadas, têm influência no escore de Apgar, entretanto futuros estudos em diferentes populações se torna necessário para confirmação desse resultado.

Síndrome de Burnout en el personal de salud en un servicio de referencia de enfermedades respiratorias. Itapúa-2020
Authors: Bogado Fatima , Acosta Marta , Taline-Pires Andressa
Published: September 2023

Se define el Síndrome de burnout como una respuesta al estrés prolongado en el trabajo, un síndrome psicológico que nace de la tensión crónica. En Paraguay se confirmó la primera infección por COVID-19 el 7 de marzo de 2020, estableciéndose medidas de aislamiento y distanciamiento social preventivas por parte del Ministerio de Salud Pública. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estimar la prevalencia del síndrome de burnout en profesionales de un hospital de referencia, en una zona fronteriza de Paraguay durante abril 2020. Para cuantificar el grado de burnout del personal se utilizó el cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) en español, que explora las tres dimensiones del síndrome. Se define como síndrome de burnout el hecho de presentar una gran fatiga emocional, una alta despersonalización y una baja realización personal. En este estudio se encontró una prevalencia de 4,6% del síndrome de burnout, de los cuales 80% eran del género femenino y tenían edades mayores o iguales a 44 años. El valor hallado en este estudio es bajo, pero es importante destacar que la investigación se realizó a inicios de la pandemia, cuando en la ciudad aún no se contaban con casos activos. En cuanto a los indicios de burnout, el 64,8% reportó niveles de factores asociados a padecer el síndrome. A pesar de ser un estudio realizado en meses previos a la aparición de casos, más de la mitad de los encuestados ya presentaban niveles altos en al menos uno de los indicios asociados al síndrome de burnout.
Evaluating the Accuracy of scite, a Smart Citation Index
Authors: Bakker Caitlin , Theis-Mahon Nicole , Brown Sarah Jane
Published: September 2023

Objectives: Citations do not always equate endorsement, therefore it is important to understand the context of a citation. Researchers may heavily rely on a paper they cite, they may refute it entirely, or they may mention it only in passing, so an accurate classification of a citation is valuable for researchers and users. While AI solutions have emerged to provide a more nuanced meaning, the accuracy of these tools has yet to be determined. This project seeks to assess the accuracy of scite in assessing the meaning of citations in a sample of publications.
Methods: Using a previously established sample of systematic reviews that cited retracted publications, we conducted known item searching in scite, a tool that uses machine learning to categorize the meaning of citations. scite's interpretation of the citation's meaning was recorded,  as was our assessment of the citation’s meaning. Citations were classified as mentioning, supporting or contrasting. Recall, precision, and f-measure were calculated to describe the accuracy of scite's assessment in comparison to human assessment.
Results: From the original sample of 324 citations, 98 citations were classified in scite. Of these, scite found that 2 were supporting and 96 were mentioning, while we determined that 42 were supporting, 39 were mentioning, and 17 were contrasting. Supporting citations had high precision and low recall, while mentioning citations had high recall and low precision. F-measures ranged between 0.0 and 0.58, representing low classification accuracy.
Conclusions: In our sample, the overall accuracy of scite's assessments was low. scite was less able to classify supporting and contrasting citations, and instead labeled them as mentioning. Although there is potential and enthusiasm for AI to make engagement with literature easier and more immediate, the results generated from AI differed significantly from the human interpretation.
Book Club Kit Program: An Evaluation
Authors: Weig-Pickering Amy , Eldredge Jonathan
Published: September 2023

Background: Book clubs consist of groups of people reading and discussing the same books. Some book clubs are organized by public librarians. A far smaller number of health sciences librarians are involved with coordinating book clubs.
Objectives: This case report employed a survey and phone interviews to determine why a book club kits program organized by health sciences librarians did not generate more enthusiasm.
Lessons Learned: The investigators found that direct phone interviews rather than a survey elicited the needed information. Many public libraries, particularly those in rural areas, are directed by people not even possessing a Master’s degree in library or information science. Strategies for promoting use of the book club kits to these public librarians required different approaches.
Conclusions: Through a deeper understanding of rural public librarians' circumstances and needs, the investigators gained new insights on how health sciences librarians might possibly reach public librarians more effectively.

Authors: Samuel Sara
Published: September 2023

The Taubman Health Sciences Library (THSL) at the University of Michigan established the Research Data Core Team (Data Team) to raise awareness and educate people about the new Data Management & Sharing Policy released by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This was accomplished with an initial outreach phase, followed by an engagement phase.Outreach was launched by updating a LibGuide with information about the new policy, creating a slide for digital screens, and producing a short video. For the engagement phase, a presentation was created to review the policy’s main points, emphasizing that a Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plan needed to be included in grant applications.Throughout the Fall 2022 and Winter 2023 semesters, the Data Team facilitated eight presentations, two workshops, and two office hours. Increased LibGuide views peaked at 1,873 in January. The Data Team anticipates continuing outreach and engagement after seeing how the NIH responds to the first DMS Plans.

Модели в биологии: тренажер – пыльцевой анализ
Authors: Цаценко Л.В , Ахромеева Н.А , Иванов В.Н
Published: September 2023

В работе рассматривается модель, выполненная из пластиковой бутыли, имитирующей пыльник с пыльцой. Пыльцевой тренажер состоит из двух емкостей, которые установлены одна в другую так, что между верхней и нижней емкостями образуется свободная полость. Отличительная особенность в том, что каждая емкость выполнена из светопрозрачной бесцветной пластиковой бутыли. В полости находятся пластиковые фигуры различной формы и окраски. Бордового цвета – имитация фертильных пыльцевых зерен, белого – стерильных. Наглядность и простота модели позволяют осуществлять отработку навыков анализа пыльцевых зерен как подготовительный этап при микроскопическом анализе репродуктивной системы растений.
The applications of posturography in selected neurological disorders
Authors: Oczadło Anna , Kowacka Urszula , Lewicka Barbara , Matusik Edyta
Published: September 2023

Posturografia jest jedną z obiektywnych metod służących do oceny układu równowagi człowieka. Równowaga człowieka to zdolność do utrzymywania pionowego rzutu środka masy ciała (center of mass – COM) w polu powierzchni podparcia (base of support – BOS). COM w jednorodnym polu grawitacyjnym pokrywa się z rzutem środka ciężkości ciała (center of gravity – COG). System kontroli postawy (postural control system – PCS) utrzymuje rzut COG w BOS oraz przeciwdziała siłom zewnętrznym (sile grawitacji i bezwładności), które wpływają destabilizująco na postawę ciała człowieka. Minimalizowanie wychwiań kontrolowane jest przez ośrodkowy układ nerwowy (central nervous system – CNS). Poprzez narządy przedsionkowy i wzroku oraz eksteroreceptory i proprioreceptory odbierane są bodźce zewnętrzne. Informacje o nich przekazywane są do CNS, który poprzez reakcje zwrotne steruje układem ruchu tak, by minimalizować ryzyko upadków. Celem pracy jest zaprezentowanie trzech typów badań posturograficznych: statycznego, dynamicznego i nadążnego, a także przedstawienie zastosowań posturografii do obiektywnej diagnostyki zaburzeń równowagi oraz jako metody służącej do rehabilitacji i monitorowania postępów terapii w chorobie Parkinsona oraz u osób po udarze mózgu.
No mundo das palavras de Françoise Choay
Authors: Pontual Virginia , Da Rocha Pereira Júlia
Published: September 2023

A filósofa francesa Françoise Choay tem sido referência para estudos do campo do urbanismo e do patrimônio cultural. Com o intuito de aprofundar a interpretação das palavras apropriadas por Choay e seus diferentes sentidos atribuídos, foram analisadas as obras L’Urbanisme (1965) e A regra e o modelo (1980). O fio condutor da análise crítica das duas obras foi a palavra modelo e as questões postas considerando as duas obras. A partir dessa perspectiva foi perseguido o tensionamento entre compreensão e interpretação em Françoise Choay, novos enquadramentos de sua obra, desvelando seus enunciados e os signos trabalhados.
