Adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder often face interpersonal and learning challenges that are poorly understood by the public. Understanding how these individuals lose control to the point of engaging in violence and crafting effective interventions require further exploration of the medical and criminal justice systems. Investigating several challenging cases, we illustrate commonalities among the young offenders, including comorbidities, addictive behaviors, family histories, and adverse childhood experiences. All these reviewed cases have undergone medical assessment, with some incarcerated and others remaining free.
Injustice in the Shadows: Exploring the Impacts of Corruption on Marginalised Communities in Uche Nnyagu's At the Centre of No Man's Land
Authors: A. O. Ihueze, , I. D. Obi,
Published: August 2024

This article employs Marxist and Precolonial theory to analyse the themes of corruption and injustice in Uche Nnyagu’s novel, At the Centre of No-Man's-Land. The novel is set in a postcolonial context. This study investigates the economic base and superstructure dynamics and focuses on class struggles, the exploitation of labour, and the commodification of social relations within the narrative. Nnyagu's narrative captures an evaluation of capitalist exploitation and class oppression and also illustrates how wealth concentration and economic power disparities foster a cycle of corruption benefiting the ruling elite at the expense of the masses. The novel not only critiques the lingering effects of colonial exploitation but also challenges the inherent injustices of both past and present socio-economic structures, and offers a perspective on the perpetuation of corruption and the struggle for justice in the society.

Published: August 2024

Cement has been a staple in the construction industry for decades, performing admirably when properly mixed. However, cement production is accompanied with a lot of CO2 emissions, contributing to environmental pollution and ozone layer depletion. To mitigate these effects and reduce reliance on conventional concrete materials, exploration of alternative materials is essential. Researchers have investigated industrial and agricultural waste as potential cement supplements, but many of these waste products pose disposal and health challenges. Instead of discarding these materials, their proper utilization can yield positive environmental benefits. This review focuses on the feasibility of incorporating rice husk ash (RHA) and marble waste (MW) into concrete production. It examines the environmental, and economic advantages of using RHA and MW, as well as their impact on mechanical and durability properties of concrete like the compressive strength, durability, splitting tensile strength, permeability, water-cement ratio, workability and thermal properties. Additionally, the review explores various approaches and methodologies for integrating these materials into concrete mixes. Numerous research studies have evaluated the effectiveness of utilizing MDP and RHA in manufacturing concrete. Key findings indicate that the maximum benefit of replacing cement with RHA occurs at a 15% substitution level. Furthermore, marble waste, owing to its high calcium oxide (CaO) content, can also serve as a cement supplement. Marble powder, with its fine particle size, can replace fine aggregates in concrete, enhancing filler effects and reducing porosity, resulting in denser and more durable concrete. Additionally, marble waste can potentially substitute for coarse aggregates in concrete production.

Design and Implementation of Collaborative Energy Efficient IoT-based LoRa WAN
Authors: Ravi Kumar M G
Published: August 2024

Wireless sensor network (WSN) architectures involve multiple sensor nodes that cover large areas. It is difficult to deploy such nodes efficiently. However, based on clustering and collaboration, WSNs can organize efficiently and prolong system lifetime. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of a collaborative LoRa WAN using ultra-low-energy hardware and smart utilization of battery power. We have chosen the robust LoRa modulation technique and clustering method to design the end nodes. The sensor data from each of the end nodes are transmitted using low-power, long distance, and noise-resilient LoRa radio channels to their corresponding Cluster Heads (CHs), where it is first stored and then processed before transmitting further to the Gateways. The storing and then transmitting technique reduces the bandwidth requirement significantly. Also, the stored sensor data can be analyzed for system optimization. Immediately after transmission, the microcontroller goes to hibernation mode, whereas, the sensor system and the LoRa module are powered off until the next cycle. In this way, the power consumption by the end node is kept at its minimum and the battery life is extended to 35 years. Several challenges related to hardware design and network parameters optimization to achieve energy-efficient IoT-based LoRa WAN are presented and discussed.

Published: August 2024

Background

Healthcare institutions around the world have been going through extensive reorganisation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Being on the front line of the COVID-19 battle, doctors worldwide had to adapt to these changing workplace dynamics and expectations of the patients. Accordingly, the aim of this qualitative study was to explore the experience of the Bangladeshi physicians on these sudden changes in their workplaces and identify the core workplace needs of the Bangladeshi front-line doctors using the ABC (autonomy, belonging and competence) model of the doctors’ workplace needs framework designed by the General Medical Council, UK.

Methods

Front-line physicians from Bangladesh who were working during the COVID-19 pandemic were recruited through convenience sampling for this qualitative study. In total, 29 in-depth telephone interviews were conducted with the participant doctors and transcribed interviews were analysed using template analysis.

Results

Most participants reported a lack of preparedness, safety measures, basic amenities, and essential hospital equipment at their workplaces. The increased workload, altered work schedule, and redistribution of team members were pointed out as crucial workplace challenges, along with the lack of professional recognition and reward mechanisms for their services during the pandemic. The majority of participants also reported leadership and managerial weaknesses. Furthermore, their usual learning and training process was hampered following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusions

This study has revealed how the front-line physicians perceived the drastic changes resulting from the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the key challenges they experienced at the workplace. These findings signify the ardent need for the government and policymakers in the health sector of Bangladesh to undertake a holistic approach toward ensuring a workplace capable of providing adequate support and protection to their doctors, particularly during a catastrophic event like this pandemic in the future.
Deep dynamic co-clustering of count data streams: application to pharmacovigilance
Authors: Marchello Giulia , Destere Alexandre , Corneli Marco , Bouveyron Charles
Published: August 2024

Co-clustering is a widely used technique that allows the analysis of complex
and high-dimensional data in various domains. However, existing models
mostly concentrate on continuous and dense data in fixed time situations, where
cluster assignments remain unchanged over time. For example, in the field of
pharmacovigilance, it is crucial to cluster in real time drugs and adverse effects
simultaneously, facilitating the automation of safety signal detection processes.
However, traditional co-clustering methods require all the data to be loaded into
memory, which can be a challenge for large datasets or even impossible in certain
scenarios. The proposed online co-clustering model is designed to overcome this
challenge by processing the data incrementally, one step at a time. This work
introduces a novel inference process for the latent block model that addresses the
challenge of online co-clustering of sparse data matrices. To properly model this
type of data, we assume that the observations follow a time and block dependent
mixture of zero-inflated distributions, thus combining stochastic processes with
the time-varying sparsity modeling. To detect abrupt changes in the dynamics
we make use of a Bayesian online change point detection method on both
cluster memberships and data sparsity estimations. The inference relies on an
original variational procedure whose maximization step trains a LSTM neural
network in order to solve the dynamical systems. Numerical experiments on simulated
datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in the
context of count data streams. Then, we fit the model to a large-scale dataset
supplied by the Regional Center of Pharmacovigilance of Nice (France), providing
meaningful online segmentation of drugs and adverse drug reactions.

Authors: Jethi Tushar , Jain Deepak , Garg Rajnish , Selhi Harpal Singh
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can improve pain, quality of life, and functional outcomes. Although uncommon, postoperative complications are extremely consequential and thus must be carefully tracked and communicated to patients to assist their decision-making before surgery. Identification of the risk factors for complications and readmissions after TKA, taking into account common causes, temporal trends, and risk variables that can be changed or left unmodified, will benefit this process.

AIM

To assess readmission rates, early complications and their causes after TKA at 30 days and 90 days post-surgery.

METHODS

This was a prospective and retrospective study of 633 patients who underwent TKA at our hospital between January 1, 2017, and February 28, 2022. Of the 633 patients, 28 were not contactable, leaving 609 who met the inclusion criteria. Both inpatient and outpatient hospital records were retrieved, and observations were noted in the data collection forms.

RESULTS

Following TKA, the 30-day and 90-day readmission rates were determined to be 1.1% (n = 7) and 1.8% (n = 11), respectively. The unplanned visit rate at 30 days following TKA was 2.6% (n = 16) and at 90 days was 4.6% (n = 28). At 90 days, the unplanned readmission rate was 1.4% (n = 9). Reasons for readmissions included medical (27.2%, n = 3) and surgical (72.7%, n = 8). Unplanned readmissions and visits within 90 days of follow-up did not substantially differ by age group (P = 0.922), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.633), unilateral vs bilateral TKA (P = 0.696), or patient comorbidity status (30-day P = 0.171 and 90-day P = 0.813). Reoperation rates after TKA were 0.66% (n = 4) at 30 days and 1.15% (n = 8) at 90 days. The average length of stay was 6.53 days.

CONCLUSION

In this study, there was a low readmission rate following TKA. There was no significant correlation between readmission rate and patient factors such as age, BMI, and co-morbidity status.

Authors: Chaiyakit Pruk , Wattanapreechanon Pichayut
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using implants with a high level of constraint has generally been recommended for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) who have valgus alignment. However, studies have reported favorable outcomes even with cruciate-retaining (CR) implants.

AIM

To evaluate the coronal plane stability of CR-TKA in patients with valgus OA at the mid-term follow-up.

METHODS

Patients with primary valgus OA of the knee who underwent TKA from January 2014 to January 2021 were evaluated through stress radiography using a digital stress device with 100 N of force on both the medial and lateral side. Gap openings and degrees of angulation change were determined. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed for both continuous and categorical variables. Inter-rater reliability of the radiographic measurements was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha.

RESULTS

This study included 25 patients (28 knees) with a mean preoperative mechanical valgus axis of 11.3 (3.6-27.3) degrees. The mean follow-up duration was 3.4 (1.04-7.4) years. Stress radiographs showed a median varus and valgus gap opening of 1.6 (IQR 0.6-3.0) mm and 1.7 (IQR 1.3-2.3) mm and varus and valgus angulation changes of 2.5 (IQR 1.3-4.8) degrees and 2.3 (IQR 2.0-3.6) degrees, respectively. No clinical signs of instability, implant loosening, or revision due to instability were observed throughout this case series.

CONCLUSION

The present study demonstrated that using CR-TKA for patients with valgus OA of the knee promoted excellent coronal plane stability.

Yield Decline and Resistance Development in Sucking Pests of Cotton in the Context of Unwise Spraying Techniques
Authors: Saleem Ashraf  , Khalid Mahmood Ch.  , Ijaz Ashraf
Published: August 2024

Over 100 countries are producing cotton, which provides raw materials to the industry and employment opportunities for the people. Limiting the cost of production, conserving the ecosystem, and improving the cotton yield are key ingredients of sustainable cotton production. The inception of transgenic cotton (Bt varieties) improved yields, curtailed pesticide uses and promoted environmental safety. Over the years, Bt varieties of cotton have lost resistance against bollworms, and yield is declining. Unwise application of pesticides is associated with the development of resistance to sucking pests of cotton. The present review was conducted to undertake (i) the background of cotton production in the world, (ii) varietal development in cotton, (iii) problems (increasing susceptibility) in Bt varieties (iv) reliance on pesticides, and (v) myths of pesticides applications followed by pesticides knowledge among farmers. The cotton varieties which are resistant against sucking pests should be introduced. In addition, the promotion of biopesticides and fostering the adoption of Integrated Pest Management Approaches could be effective for the management of sucking pests. Farmers must be trained in site-specific and accurate spraying techniques by agricultural extension and plant protection departments. Accurate spraying techniques will not only improve pest control but also help in curtailing the environmental pollution being caused by the excessive use of pesticides in cotton.

Tracing the Origin of Metal Ions in Mississippi Valley-Type Ore Deposits: Constraints from Lead Isotope Studies of Black Shales from the Midcontinent United States
Authors: Morris Noah , Potra Adriana , Samuelsen John R.
Published: August 2024

Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) lead-zinc ore deposits found in the midcontinent United States have isotopic signatures that indicate the potential involvement of a single highly radiogenic source mobilized by hydrothermal fluids or the mixing of two sources of Pb with differing radiogenic signatures. A genetic link between black shales and major MVT ores has been thought to exist because of (1) the presence of mature hydrocarbon and brine fluid inclusions within many MVT ores, (2) the association of the hydrothermal fluids that are linked to MVT ore formation with organic compounds and oil-like droplets, and (3) the highly radiogenic nature of the ores. The analysis of 69 shale samples from 21 stratigraphic units from across the midcontinent United States revealed variations in Pb concentrations and isotopic compositions across different Cambrian- to Pennsylvanian-age shales. Shales with high organic carbon content, particularly those of Pennsylvanian age, displayed elevated Pb abundances, suggesting their formation under anoxic conditions was conducive to the preservation of organic carbon binding with Pb ions. However, the Pb isotope signatures of most black shales are generally less radiogenic than the ores, suggesting that they were not a source of radiogenic Pb. Several samples of the Devonian-Mississippian Chattanooga Shale and the Ordovician Polk Creek Shale have significant quantities of radiogenic Pb that more closely resemble those of the MVT ores. This suggests that certain shales may have directly interacted with the hydrothermal fluids that precipitated the MVT ores. Some shales may have acted as an aquitard as the hydrothermal fluids were migrating through the subsurface, causing some shales to become more enriched in radiogenic Pb than others.

Authors: Hidayah Nur Putri , Komariah Komariah , Prakasa Satria Unggul Wicaksana , Zulhuda Sonny
Published: August 2024

Many facts of disputes between creditors and debtors regarding the excesses of fiduciary guarantees and the existence of a decision of the Constitutional Court, which changed the legal provisions regarding the execution of fiduciary securities. This research aims to determine how clauses concerning an agreement over a breach of contract are outlined in a fiduciary agreement and what hinders the execution of fiduciary security. With normative and empirical methods, this research indicates that the clause regarding a breach of contract is outlined in a fiduciary deed by the creditor and debtor concerned. Some hindrances, however, interrupt the execution of the fiduciary security; the client denies any breach of contract, believing that this negligence represents force majeure; and the client refuses to voluntarily hand in the fiduciary object or even attempts to embezzle the fiduciary thing. Following these two hindrances, the creditor offers a persuasive negotiation to encourage the client to admit the breach of contract committed and to release the fiduciary object willingly.

Authors: Adeyi Abiola John
Published: August 2024

The adsorption characteristics of Nauclea latifolia medicinal leaves were examined across selected temperatures (30–50°C) and water activity levels (0.044–0.900) to assess its storage stability. Both univariate semi-empirical and multivariate statistical models were comparatively employed to represent and predict the observed adsorption characteristics. Additionally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the dependence of the adsorption characteristics (that is, equilibrium moisture content (EMC (g/g d.b.)) on temperature and water activity storage factors. The net isosteric heat and entropy of adsorption were also determined alongside compensation theory values. The results indicated that EMC decreased with increasing temperature and increased with rising water activity. The minimum and maximum EMC values of 0.015 and 0.221 g/g d.b. were observed at 50°C. The safe moisture content for storing dried Nauclea latifolia medicinal leaves was 12.6 (g/g d.b.) at 30 to 40 °C and 9 (g/g d.b.) at 50°C. Amongst the models tested, the Peleg model demonstrated best performance, with its R² values ranging from 0.9897 to 0.994 and RMSE values between 0.0039 and 0.0129. Sensitivity analysis revealed that EMC is more sensitive to water activity than to temperature. The net isosteric heat and entropy of adsorption decreased with increasing EMC, indicating that the process was enthalpy-driven. In conclusion, the findings underscore the importance of environmental management in maintaining the storage properties of Nauclea latifolia medicinal leaves. The results of the models are useful in guiding the optimal storage conditions and the design of tailored storage facilities for Nauclea latifolia medicinal leaves.

Authors: Wang Weiwei , Zhang Linglin , Chen Yiyang , Chen Yushun
Published: August 2024

Mental health is fundamental to an individual's general well-being and ability to work effectively. A trial carried out on college/university students in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province showed that the mental health of college students could be improved by art healing. The changes in the scores of SCL-90 before and after the trial can be seen that the experimental group had a significant improvement in total score from pre-intervention to post-intervention. For the specific factor items, the anxiety, hostility and additional items were more significant improvements, however, phobia anxiety, paranoid ideation and psychoticism did not show significant differences between pre-intervention and post-intervention. Overall, close to half of the students showed a significant difference in their mental health compared to the pre-trial, and this treatment effect was more pronounced for students with mental health issues. Female students, on the other hand, demonstrated a more positive healing effect than male students. The students in the experimental group showed a reduction in positive psychological symptoms after the art therapy intervention, but did not yet show “effective” results in terms of grade reduction rates. Therefore, a long-term, larger-scale, and more comprehensively designed follow-up trial is necessary to improve the mental health of college students.

To address the issue of inaccurate precision due to the randomness and instability of photovoltaic power generation, this paper proposes a short-term photovoltaic power prediction model based on an Improved Subtraction Average Based Optimizer (ISABO) and Deep Extreme Learning Machine (DELM). First, the k-means algorithm is used to classify weather types, and then Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) is employed to decompose the original signal, fully extracting input factor information from the dataset to improve data quality. Next, an improved ISABO algorithm is proposed to optimize the parameters of the input layer and thresholds of the DELM model. Tent chaotic reverse learning is utilized to initialize the SABO population, enhancing population quality. The ISABO algorithm incorporates a Lévy flight mutation strategy to avoid local optima. Finally, the predicted values of different sequences are superimposed to obtain the final prediction result. Simulation results indicate that the proposed ISABO-DELM model has a smaller prediction error.

State-of-charge (SOC) estimation and state-of-health (SOH) prediction of lithium-sulfur batteries is an extremely important technology for battery management systems (BMS), which is affected by factors such as internal chemical reactions and external temperature changes of lithium-sulfur batteries, which makes it difficult to predict the state of charge and state of health of lithium-sulfur batteries. Firstly, the retrieval status of battery SOC estimation and SOH prediction is introduced, then the main methods and advantages and disadvantages of various methods are introduced, and finally the challenges of battery SOC estimation and SOH prediction are summarized, and the development direction and innovative ideas are proposed. The results show that state-of-charge estimation and health prediction techniques are of great significance for improving the safety, reliability and lifetime of lithium-sulfur batteries.

Published: August 2024

A rare Indo-pacific snake-eel genus, Yirrkala, of tribe Sphagebranchini, subfamily Ophichthinae, family Ophichthidae, has 16 former species and 1 new species described in this article. Albeit it has such a great number of species, it is still known as “lack-description genus”, given that many species provisionally belong to this genus is still remain in opaque in status, whether belongingness or validity. The new species is under this genus according to its absent pectoral fins and dorsal fin, very elongated body, fragile dorsal fin and anal fin, dorsal fin origin posterior to rictus, posterior nares within mouth, short tubular anterior nares, and two preopercular pores, intermaxillary teeth present out of restriction of mandible. And it is unique in dorsal-fin length greater than half of maximum body height, dorsal-fin origin anterior to gill opening, body not patterned, median groove exceeding anterior-naris base. The difference between Yirrkala misolensis and Yirrkala maculata is reviewed. An overview of this genus is provided, and a key for distinguishing the species in this genus is also given.

With the growing national economy, the living standards and conditions are constantly improving, and everyone's requirements for dress are also constantly improving. For some ordinary people who are usually busy with work or study, it is troublesome to choose and match clothes with fashion sense and conform to the current weather in a short time Aiming at how users can arrange their clothes when going out more reasonably according to the weather conditions and individualized clothes, we have developed this weather-based clothing recommendation matching system In this paper, a coordinated filtering algorithm is proposed for clothing matching recommendation. Firstly, the similarity of two clothing combinations is calculated, then the user's interest in candidate clothing combinations is estimated, and finally the user's interest in candidate clothing combinations is estimated to give suggestions so as to achieve the purpose of recommendation

Authors: Chen Sihan
Published: August 2024

The year 2023 is known as the year of AIGC, and the emergence of CHATGPT has brought about the adjustment of the direction of many industries. In this storm of technology based on artificial intelligence, the design industry should also follow the trend, think and make choices. With the continuous development of AI technology, its high efficiency and low cost make it a powerful tool for designers to improve efficiency in the design field. How generative artificial intelligence system (AIGC) can promote the optimization and intelligent transformation of user experience design is discussed. By analyzing in detail, the application of AIGC in the design process, the author gradually delves into how to use AIGC tools more rationally to improve the efficiency and quality of designers in completing the UX design process. The aim is to provide designers with new ideas in practice to cope with increasingly complex design tasks and user needs, and to provide reference for research and practice in related fields.

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes after tendon transfers in the setting of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA).

Methods:

PubMed and Embase were searched according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to find primary clinical studies of any type of tendon transfer in the setting of RTSA.

Results:

Overall, 17 studies (level of evidence [LOE] I: 1, LOE II: 0, LOE III: 3, LOE IV: 13) met inclusion criteria, with 300 shoulders. Most patients were female (56.7%), with an average age of 68.7 years (range 19 to 89) and a mean follow-up of 46.2 months (range 6 to 174). 11 studies reported outcomes after combined latissimus dorsi and teres major transfer (LDTM) while eight studies reported on latissimus dorsi transfer only (LD). Improvements in commonly reported subjective and functional outcome measures were as follows: external rotation +32° (LDTM) and +30° (LD), flexion +65° (LDTM) and +59° (LD), Visual Analog Score −5.4 (LDTM) and −4.5 (LD), subjective shoulder value +43.8% (LDTM) and +46.3% (LD), and overall Constant score +33.8 (LDTM) and +38.7 (LD). The overall complication rate was 11.3%, including tendon transfer ruptures (0.7%), instability (3.0%), infection (2.0%), and nerve injury (0.3%). The all-cause repeat operation rate was 7.3%, most commonly for arthroplasty revision (5.3%). Subgroup analysis revealed that lateralized implants with tendon transfer resulted in markedly greater improvements in Constant score, flexion, ER1, and ER2 while medialized implants with tendon transfer had markedly greater improvements in Visual Analog Score, subjective shoulder value, and abduction.

Conclusion:

Patients undergoing tendon transfer of either combined LDTM or latissimus dorsi alone in the setting of RTSA have markedly improved subjective and functional outcomes. A moderate incidence of complications (11.3%) was noted in this patient population.
