PURPOSE

Although the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Data Commons (INRGdc) has enabled seminal large cohort studies, the research is limited by the lack of real-world, electronic health record (EHR) treatment data. To address this limitation, we evaluated the feasibility of extracting treatment data directly from EHRs using the REDCap Clinical Data Interoperability Services (CDIS) module for future submission to the INRGdc.

METHODS

Patients enrolled on the Children's Oncology Group neuroblastoma biology study ANBL00B1 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00904241 ) who received care at the University of Chicago (UChicago) or the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) after the go-live dates for the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)–compliant EHRs were identified. Antineoplastic drug orders were extracted using the CDIS module. To validate the CDIS output, antineoplastic agents extracted through FHIR were compared with those queried through EHR relational databases (UChicago's Clinical Research Data Warehouse and VUMC's Epic Clarity database) and manual chart review.

RESULTS

The analytic cohort consisted of 41 patients at UChicago and 32 VUMC patients. Antineoplastic drug orders were identified in the extracted EHR records of 39 (95.1%) UChicago patients and 26 (81.3%) VUMC patients. Manual chart review confirmed that patients with missing (n = 8) or discontinued (n = 1) orders in the CDIS output did not receive antineoplastic agents during the timeframe of the study. More than 99% of the antineoplastic drug orders in the EHR relational databases were identified in the corresponding CDIS output.

CONCLUSION

Our results demonstrate the feasibility of extracting EHR treatment data with high fidelity using HL7-FHIR via REDCap CDIS for future submission to the INRGdc.
Three Historicist Comments
Authors: Monot Pierre-Héli
Published: May 2024

This article discusses the politics of time in the culture wars of the 1980s by way of three comments on the discursive and political uses of the conceptual pairs historicism/otium, reform/revolution, and emergency/patience. This article argues that (1) the culture wars articulated a politically valuable dialectic of critique and the objects of critique, 2) historians tend to foreshorten their account of the culture wars and make light of their nonreformist origins, and (3) a reappraisal of the culture wars would provide precious signposts for strategic approaches to current political threats.
The Euphoria of Theory
Authors: Jones-Katz Gregory
Published: May 2024

In the last three decades of the twentieth century, theory became a “cognitive good” throughout the American academic humanities. The rise and uses of this new high-tech good fit the “new spirit of capitalism,” to quote Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello's 2018 book by the same name, a post-1960s “ideology that justifies engagement in capitalism.” A neoliberal ethos and disposition animated theory and possessed theorists, as well as spaces that circulated theory, such as the University of Minnesota's Theory and History of Literature book series, theory journals, and the University of California, Irvine's School of Criticism and Theory. Meanwhile, capitalism incorporated the nature, scope, and social effectiveness of critique by way of theory in American higher education; theorists worked in a university where neoliberal forces saturated and directed professional and intellectual protocols. The academic humanist Left's promotion of theory, for instance, facilitated the formation of the “university” as a theater for culture war conflicts, shifting attention inside and outside the academy away from underlying changes in capitalism.
Institutional Autonomy and Anticipatory Obedience
Authors: Hegeman Susan
Published: May 2024

This article compares episodes in two historical moments in the United States, the 1960s and the present, to interrogate how public universities have responded to culture war issues and pressure from powerful political actors. It recounts how in Florida the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated a culture war over education and speech related to race and how the University of Florida capitulated to an ambitious governor ultimately bent on synchronizing Florida's university system to his political goals. To highlight the singularity of this episode, the article compares these events with another instance when a governor pressured university leadership over a culture war issue, during the heated era of 1960s protests over racism and imperialism. In 1969 Charles E. Young, chancellor of UCLA, publicly opposed the California regents and Governor Ronald Reagan when they sought to fire a young philosophy professor, Angela Y. Davis, over her communist party membership. Both recent events in Florida and the campaign to dismiss Davis turned on questions of academic freedom. This article explores the conditions that allowed Young to more successfully defend his university's autonomy and concludes that the privatized conception of the neoliberal university's social value makes contemporary universities particularly susceptible to political interference and antidemocratic co-optation.
Archipelagic Stories, Anguilliform Resistances
Authors: Obeegadoo Nikhita
Published: May 2024

This article addresses the persistent anthropocentric bias of archipelagic studies. It asks: What would it mean to invite more-than-human and transspecies perspectives into our theorizations of archipelagoes? This interrogation is addressed by following the meanderings of the eel—famously recognized as “the most mysterious creature in the natural world”—through two Francophone texts arising from the Indian Ocean: the first is Mauritian author Ananda Devi's novella La vie de Joséphin le fou (2003), and the second is Comoran author Ali Zamir's novel Anguille sous roche (2016). Through detailed literary analysis, this article demonstrates that in both prose narratives, the perspectives of marine creatures are crucial to the complete telling of intergenerational violence: in particular, the seemingly “infinite” memory and determination of eels becomes an antidote to the fragmentation caused by human trauma. Additionally, this article argues that in both texts, the anguilliform is not simply a theme but also a method, which allows for novel archipelagic forms of storytelling and memory that are as slippery and sinuous as the animals who inspire it. The eel's anguilliform movement thus becomes a source of stylistic and narrative renewal, which allows both texts to embody commentary on the ethical slipperiness of their narratives, as well as on readers’ positionality and complicity.
Welfare Comparisons for Biased Learning
Authors: Frick Mira , Iijima Ryota , Ishii Yuhta
Published: May 2024

We study robust welfare comparisons of learning biases (misspecified Bayesian and some forms of non-Bayesian updating). Given a true signal distribution, we deem one bias more harmful than another if it yields lower objective expected payoffs in all decision problems. We characterize this ranking in static and dynamic settings. While the static characterization compares posteriors signal by signal, the dynamic characterization employs an “efficiency index” measuring how fast beliefs converge. We quantify and compare the severity of several well-documented biases. We also highlight disagreements between the static and dynamic rankings, and that some “large” biases dynamically outperform other “vanishingly small” biases. (JEL D60, D82, D83, D91)

Σε αυτή τη διατριβή, μελετάται το πρόβλημα του μετασχηματισμού ερωτημάτων για συζευκτικά ερωτήματα με άρνηση σε σχέση με διαζευκτικούς υπαρξιακούς κανόνες. Ο μετασχηματισμός ερωτημάτων είναι μια γνωστή προσέγγιση για την απάντηση ερωτημάτων σε βάσεις γνώσεων με ελλιπή δεδομένα. Προτείνονται τρεις τεχνικές μετασχηματισμού που βρίσκουν μετασχηματισμούς UCQ για ερωτήματα με άρνηση στο πλαίσιο των (διαζευκτικών) υπαρξιακών κανόνων.Η πρώτη τεχνική χρησιμοποιεί ανάλυση σε σχέση με τους περιορισμούς για την εξάλειψη των αρνημένων ατομικών τύπων από το εισαγόμενο ερώτημα. Παράγεται ένα σύνολο συζευκτικών ερωτημάτων το οποίο μπορεί να μετασχηματιστεί με τους υπαρξιακούς κανόνες στη βάση γνώσεων, παράγοντας περισσότερους μετασχηματισμούς UCQ.Η δεύτερη τεχνική εστιάζει στην εύρεση ενός μετασχηματισμού UCQ για ερωτήματα με όχι περισσότερους από έναν αρνημένο ατομικό τύπο. Τέτοια ερωτήματα μετασχηματίζονται σε υπαρξιακούς κανόνες και οι περιορισμοί ή η βάση γνώσεων μετασχηματίζονται. Η μέθοδος παρακολουθεί τους μετασχηματισμούς που παράγονται από τον κανόνα που αντιστοιχεί στο μετασχηματισμένο ερώτημα και αποδίδει έναν πλήρη μετασχηματισμό UCQ. Η τρίτη τεχνική μετασχηματισμού χρησιμοποιεί περιορισμούς και συζευκτικά ερωτήματα για να αφαιρέσει τα διαζευκτικά συστατικά των διαζευκτικών υπαρξιακών κανόνων. Αυτή η διαδικασία τελικά παράγει νέους μη διαζευκτικούς κανόνες, δηλαδή υπαρξιακούς κανόνες. Οι παραγόμενοι κανόνες μπορούν στη συνέχεια να χρησιμοποιηθούν για την παραγωγή νέων μετασχηματισμών χρησιμοποιώντας υπάρχουσες προσεγγίσεις μετασχηματισμού για υπαρξιακούς κανόνες. Με την προτεινόμενη τεχνική είμαστε σε θέση να παρέχουμε πλήρεις μετασχηματισμούς UCQ για ένωση συζευκτικών ερωτημάτων με καθολικά ποσοτικοποιημένη άρνηση.Οι προτεινόμενες τεχνικές υλοποιούνται στο σύστημα COMPLETO (v1, v2 και v3 αντίστοιχα) και διεξήχθησαν μερικά πειράματα για την αξιολόγηση της βιωσιμότητας των προτεινόμενων λύσεων. Αντιμετωπίζουμε επίσης την αναποφασιστικότητα της ύπαρξης ενός πεπερασμένου και πλήρους μετασχηματισμού UCQ και την ταυτοποίηση πεπερασμένων συνόλων ενοποίησης (fus) κανόνων. Εισάγουμε νέες κατηγορίες κανόνων, συνδεδεμένους γραμμικούς κανόνες και συνδεδεμένους περιορισμένους κανόνες πεδίου, που επιδεικνύουν την ιδιότητα fus για υπαρξιακούς κανόνες. Επιπλέον, προτείνουμε αποσυνδεδεμένη διαζευκτικότητα για διαζευκτικούς υπαρξιακούς κανόνες ώστε να επιτευχθεί η ιδιότητα fus όταν επεκτείνουμε τα εισαχθέντα θραύσματα κανόνων σε διαζευκτικούς υπαρξιακούς κανόνες. Τέλος, παρουσιάζουμε το ECOMPLETO, μια έκδοση του συστήματός μας υλοποιημένη στη γλώσσα προγραμματισμού Elixir, ικανή να χειριστεί UCQ¬ με καθολικά ποσοτικοποιημένη άρνηση και διαζευκτικούς υπαρξιακούς κανόνες.

Prevalence of self-reported lower limb overuse problems in highly trained track and field athletes during 12 weeks of pre-season training
Authors: Arend Mati , Kalev Maarja , Jürgenson Janno
Published: May 2024

The aim of the study was to record the extent of lower limb overuse problems in highly trained track and field athletes during the 12 weeks of their preparation for national and international athletics championships. 21 highly trained track and field athletes (10 males: height 188.4 ± 6.8 cm; weight 79.9 ± 5.4 kg; BMI 22.5 ± 0.9; training hours per week 7.78 ± 2.37; 11 females: height 174.1 ± 7.9 cm; weight 61.7 ± 5.8 kg; BMI 20.4 ± 1.4; training hours per week 6.28 ± 2.76) from the national team volunteered to participate. The study was a prospective cohort study during which the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire was distributed weekly to all athletes for 12 weeks from May 2015 to August 2015. The two most prevalent overuse problems reported in our study group were hamstring and lower back area problems. On average, 64% of athletes in the present study group suffered from an overuse problem to ankle, hamstring, groin, knee or low back at any given time. The results of the study show that lower limb overuse injuries are too frequent in track and field athletes, and many athletes still train and compete through these injuries. Therefore, it is very important for athletes’ long-term health to regularly monitor their health problems in order to start preventing them.

Authors: Deryugina Anna V. , Ivashchenko Marina N. , Metelin Vladislav B. , Kovylin Roman S. , Ignatiev Pavel S.
Published: May 2024

Background.  Intensive milk production technology creates a number of factors that can put an animal into a state of technological stress. The effect of stress is reflected in nonspecific resistance, which represents the body's ability to resist the effects of adverse factors by maintaining protective forces at the proper level. Neutrophils are one of the first protective cellular barriers that are rapidly mobilized when exposed to stress factors. To decipher the changes taking place in response to the action of stressors, the involvement of various evaluation tools is required. One of the possible methodological approaches is the use of various visualization methods that provide access to spatio-temporal information at the level of individual organelles and
Purpose. The study of the morpho-functional state of neutrophils under technological stress in cattle by laser interference and electron scanning microscopy.
Materials and methods. The work was carried out on 30 clinically healthy highly productive black-and-white cows. A combination of impacts was considered as technological stress: the rearrangement of animals and the change of service personnel. Neutrophils were analyzed by laser interference and electron scanning microscopy.
Results. A change in the morphological structure and functional activity of neutrophils after the action of technological stress is shown. The analysis of interferograms revealed an increase in the heterogeneity of neutrophils due to the appearance of degeneratively altered cell forms with an increase in the number of functionally active neutrophils. Electron scanning microscopy revealed the appearance of NEToses and neutrophils with emptied granules and vacuolization of the cytoplasm after technological stress.
Conclusion.  The revealed morphofunctional changes in neutrophils prove the strain of adaptation mechanisms under technological stress. This circumstance must be taken into account in order to prevent disruption of the adaptive capabilities of the organism of highly productive animals.
ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF PAIN IN THE TREATMENT OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS BY EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE THERAPY
Authors: Huseynova Ulkar Aslan , Kozlov Vasily V.
Published: May 2024

Background.  Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a clinical condition characterized by retropatellar and/or peripatellar pain associated with activities associated with stress on the lower extremities (for example, walking, running, jumping, climbing stairs, prolonged sitting and mobility, walking on stairs , squats on squats). Both active and sedentary people of any age. People with obesity and people who spend most of their time on their feet are more prone to this disease.
Purpose: comparison of serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in patients diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome with healthy individuals who sought screening prior to initiation of sports.
Methods. Patients were examined retrospectively. The study involved 20 patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome and 40 healthy individuals who applied for examination before playing sports. Statistical analysis was used to evaluate the differences.
Results. The patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome had subnormal levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, averaging 18,5±7,1 ng/mL. The average level of vitamin D in healthy people was 28,9±10,6 ng/ml. The level of vitamin D in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome was statistically significantly lower than in the healthy group (p<0,001).
Conclusion. Decreased serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in patients contribute to the pathophysiology of patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Published: May 2024

Background. An important issue in the evaluation of nanoparticles is the manifestation of test objects that allow the evaluation of damaging effects in vitro.
Purpose. Evaluate red blood cells as an in vitro model system as the original "cellular dosimeter" of the effects of nanoparticles and the unique model of the hemocompatibility of nanostructures.
Materials and methods. In this work colloidal solutions of nanoparticles of the “Taunit”, “Taunit-M”, “Taunit-MD” series were used. The main task determined by the authors is to study the influence of the ζ-potential of nanoparticles on aggregation by analyzing the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The Westergren method was used for the evaluation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Results. The relationship between the aggregation of erythrocytes and the values of the ζ-potential of the nanoparticles was established according to the data of the test of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It was shown that the nanoparticles of the “Taunit-MD” series possessing the greatest ζ potential, prevented the aggregation of erythrocytes without changing the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which proves their hemocompatibility. Nanoparticles of "Taunit", "Taunit-M" series possessing low ζ-potential, caused instability of the colloidal system of blood and caused the tendency of erythrocytes to form aggregations which was revealed by a considerable increase in the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation. The ROC test showed the sensitivity of the “Erythrocyte sedimentation rate” test at 92.5%, and its specificity at 100.0%.
Conclusion. The value of the ζ-potential of the nanoparticles is related to the aggregation of the erythrocytes, which is revealed by the test of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. This research proves that human red blood cells are the unique biological dosimeters that are sensitive to the action of nanoparticles and that their use as test objects allows to examine the hemocompatibility of nanostructures on in vitro model systems.

Authors: Maroeto Maroeto , Priyadarshini Rossyda , Santoso Wahyu
Published: May 2024

Land use that disregards the potential of the land, like is the case in watershed areas, not only increases the danger of disaster, but it can also lead to environmental damage. This study intends to assess the land capacity and soil fertility in the Lesti Sub-watershed in Malang Regency, East Java Province. GIS analysis, descriptive analysis, and laboratory tests were the data analytic techniques employed in this study. Four different land use types Moor, Coffee Plantation, Snakefruit Plantation, and Shrubs can be found in the area surrounding the watershed, according to field observations. The research findings imply that sloping and hilly plains have limiting factors for variable land capacities and limiting factors such as land slope and permeability. The study also provides an overview, namely that overall soil fertility is low and in all land use units, including the limiting factors on base saturation, C-organic, phosphate, and potassium. Overall, the research gives information or instructions for accurately analyzing land resources to measure agricultural commodity output based on the physiography of watershed areas experiencing land degradation.

Published: May 2024

Background. In the structure of oncological diseases, lung cancer is one of the most common pathologies characterized by high mortality. The probability of five-year survival is higher for patients receiving treatment in the early stages of cancer.
Purpose. The study is devoted to the study of the relationship between the psychological characteristics of cancer patients with early diagnosis of the disease and the subsequent course of the disease.
Materials and methods. The study involved 72 patients with diagnosed lung cancer aged 39 to 80 years. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the respondents were grouped into two groups depending on the stage of the disease (early and late treatment) and depending on the course of the disease (favorable and unfavorable). The study was conducted using a complex of psychodiagnostic techniques, methods of mathematical statistics were methods of descriptive statistics, discriminant analysis.
Results. Early detection of lung cancer is associated with such features as a pessimistic attributive style, emotional stability, an internal locus of control in the field of interpersonal relations, a rare use of the Escape-avoidance coping strategy. The favorable course of the disease is facilitated by the rare use of the coping strategy "Escape-avoidance", the severity of the indicator of resilience "Control".
Conclusion. Thus, the obtained data open up new possibilities in a personalized approach to cancer treatment and can be used in psychosocial and psychotherapeutic practice for patients with lung cancer.

Authors: Kuznetsova Victoria E. , Matveeva Elena A. , Belovezhets Lyudmila A.
Published: May 2024

Background. Throughout the world, the losses of agricultural products are associated with plant diseases, most often caused by microscopic fungi. Among the most effective methods to control these fungi is the use of various chemicals fungicides. However, the overutilization of such fungicides can induce negative implications. To address this challenge, alternatives methods of control using antagonist microbes are being developed. Of particular interest are fungi of the Trichoderma genus, which can be employed as biopreparations to protect crops against a number of diseases.
Purpose. The study of the antagonistic interactions of two micromycetes of the Trichoderma genus, isolated from wood cuts in Eastern Siberia, with phytopathogenic fungi.
Materials and methods.
The taxonomic affiliation of the isolated fungi was determined by macro- and micromorphological features, using a Primo Star light microscope (Zeiss, Germany). Molecular genetic analysis was carried out on the basis of the All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms (Moscow) using the sequence of ribosomal genes (26-sRNA). The antagonistic activity of Trichoderma against phytopathogens was tested in vitro by the method of counter cultures in 5 replicates.
Results. According to morphological and molecular genetic characteristics, the isolated strains were identified to the species Trichoderma atroviride and Trichoderma harzianum. It was shown that the isolated Trichoderma strains efficiently inhibit the development of the pathogenic fungi under study (by 50-80%).
Conclusion. The results obtained suggest that Trichoderma atroviride and Trichoderma harzianum can be further employed in the biocontrol of plant diseases.

Authors: Seminchenko Elena V.
Published: May 2024

Background. For the first time in the abiotic conditions of the Lower Volga region on light chestnut soils, new methods of biologization of soil fertility preservation and specialized field crop rotations based on the replacement of pure steam with sideral steam with poorly studied crops for green fertilizer – biennial yellow clover, oats and phacelia were developed and studied; cultures of various biological groups are included in the structure of sown areas, including cereals, legumes, oilseeds, tilled and perennial legumes; in addition to siderates, organic fertilizers are used in the form of straw and crop – root residues of cultivated crops.
Purpose of the work is to study the balance of the main nutrition elements of grain crops (winter wheat, chickpeas, spring barley) in field crop rotations.
Materials and methods. Grain crops (winter wheat, chickpeas, spring barley) were studied in crop rotations on Bogar. Statistical processing of research results in Excel and Statistica software packages was used for research. Based on empirical data on height, biomass, assimilating surface, to identify patterns of changes in the dynamics of grain crops during the growing season.
Results. Over a three-year period, the dynamics of the receipt of crop-root residues for the content of nutrition elements in grain crops was analyzed. The paper presents the nitrogen content in winter wheat, net and spring barley, but studies were conducted on all elements of nutrition.
Conclusion. Thus, the analysis of data for a 3-year period of grain crops processed using the Excel program and the Statistica program showed that, regardless of crop rotation, a high content of nutrients is characteristic for the period of germination, then gradually decreases due to their consumption by plants. With the help of programs, you can calculate the required amount of fertilizers for a given crop.

La debilidad del Sistema Nacional Ambiental bajo la mirada de la Resolución 0631 de 2015
Authors: Henao Mera Álvaro José , Gómez-Rey Andrés
Published: May 2024

En el marco del presente escrito y teniendo como base la existencia de diversas interpretaciones de entidades que conforman el SINA frente al régimen jurídico de los vertimientos en Colombia5, se realizará una valoración jurídica de interpretación normativa en relación con la Resolución 0631 de 2015, haciendo un análisis de las diversas posturas jurídicas asumidas por diferentes autoridades ambientales frente a un mismo articulado y una misma problemática ambiental. Esta situación, que se trae a modo de ejemplo para demostrar el fraccionamiento del funcionamiento del SINA a nivel institucional, permite evidenciar que es necesario un fortalecimiento que garantice y provea una verdadera institucionalidad unificada para la administración y el manejo de nuestros recursos naturales. Claro está que no se plantea una revisión amplia desde las reglas, sino por el contrario mostrar desde estas que la organización coherente, jerárquica y abstracta del SINA y su lenguaje, es una pretensión inalcanzable o al menos idealista.

An Intelligent End-to-End Neural Architecture Search Framework for Electricity Forecasting Model Development
Authors: Yang Jin , Jiang Guangxin , Wang Yinan , Chen Ying
Published: May 2024

Recent years have witnessed exponential growth in developing deep learning models for time series electricity forecasting in power systems. However, most of the proposed models are designed based on the designers’ inherent knowledge and experience without elaborating on the suitability of the proposed neural architectures. Moreover, these models cannot be self-adjusted to dynamically changed data patterns due to the inflexible design of their structures. Although several recent studies have considered the application of the neural architecture search (NAS) technique for obtaining a network with an optimized structure in the electricity forecasting sector, their training process is computationally expensive and their search strategies are not flexible, indicating that the NAS application in this area is still at an infancy stage. In this study, we propose an intelligent automated architecture search (IAAS) framework for the development of time series electricity forecasting models. The proposed framework contains three primary components, that is, network function–preserving transformation operation, reinforcement learning–based network transformation control, and heuristic network screening, which aim to improve the search quality of a network structure. After conducting comprehensive experiments on two publicly available electricity load data sets and two wind power data sets, we demonstrate that the proposed IAAS framework significantly outperforms the 10 existing models or methods in terms of forecasting accuracy and stability. Finally, we perform an ablation experiment to showcase the importance of critical components in the proposed IAAS framework in improving forecasting accuracy.

Fast Forecasting of Unstable Data Streams for On-Demand Service Platforms
Authors: Hu Yu Jeffrey , Rombouts Jeroen , Wilms Ines
Published: May 2024

Practice- and policy-oriented abstract:

The success of on-demand service platforms crucially hinges upon their ability to make fast and accurate demand forecasts so that its workers are always at the right time and location to serve customers promptly. Yet demand forecasting is challenging for several reasons. First, demand data are typically released as high-frequency streaming time series, which requires an algorithm that has a fast processing time. Second, a digital platform often operates in many different geographic regions, thereby giving rise to a large heterogeneous geographical collection of high-frequency demand streams that need to be forecast and requiring a scalable algorithm. Third, a platform business usually operates in an unstable, rapidly changing environment and faces irregular growth patterns, which requires agility when forecasting demand because slow reactions to such instabilities causes forecast performance to break down. We offer a novel forecast framework called fast forecasting of unstable data streams that is fast and scalable and automatically assesses changing environments without human intervention. We test our framework on a unique data set from a leading European on-demand delivery platform and a U.S. bicycle sharing system and find strong (i) forecast performance gains, (ii) financial gains, and (ii) computing time reduction from using our framework against several industry benchmarks.

Published: May 2024

Problem definition: How should retailers leverage aggregate (category) sales information for individual product demand prediction? Motivated by inventory risk pooling, we develop a new prediction framework that integrates category-product sales information to exploit the benefit of pooling. Methodology/results: We propose to combine data from different aggregation levels in a transfer learning framework. Our approach treats the top-level sales information as a regularization for fitting the bottom-level prediction model. We characterize the error performance of our model in linear cases and demonstrate the benefit of pooling. Moreover, our approach exploits a natural connection to regularized gradient boosting trees that enable a scalable implementation for large-scale applications. Based on an internal study with JD.com on more than 6,000 weekly observations between 2020 and 2021, we evaluate the out-of-sample forecasting performance of our approach against state-of-the-art benchmarks. The result shows that our approach delivers superior forecasting performance consistently with more than 9% improvement over the benchmark method of JD.com . We further validate its generalizability on a Walmart retail data set and through alternative pooling and prediction methods. Managerial implications: Using aggregate sales information directly may not help with product demand prediction. Our result highlights the value of transfer learning to demand prediction in retail with both theoretical and empirical support. Based on a conservative estimate of JD.com , the improved forecasts can reduce the operating cost by 0.01–0.29 renminbi (RMB) per sold unit on the retail platform, which implies significant cost savings for the low-margin e-retail business.

Risk and dementia
Authors: Pepper Amy
Published: May 2024

People with dementia and their family carers may be subject to a number of different risks; these risks may overlap with, and impact on one another. Due to changes in capacity that come with dementia, people with the diagnosis may be overly cautious about decisions made relating to risk made on their behalf, and this may have a negative impact on their wellbeing and quality of life. This article aims to educate community nurses on the risks they need to be aware of when working with families affected by dementia, and presents a risk enablement framework as a way of assessing and managing risk in a person-centred way.
‘No health without mental health’: where are we now?
Authors: Clark Louise L , Zagni Maria , While Alison E
Published: May 2024

Mental health services are under unprecedented pressure with overwhelming referrals and a current waiting list of 1.2 million people of all ages. The cross-government White Paper ‘No health without mental health’ was launched 12 years ago detailing the importance of wellbeing services in the creation of mentally healthy communities through health promotion and illness prevention. While primary care, community services and psychiatry are pivotal in the treatment of mental Illness/disorder, mental health care per se is on a continuum, and a great deal of work can be undertaken in communities by wellbeing services to prevent avoidable referrals. This paper proposes a broad framework of education and training for wellbeing/positive mental health services, primary and community care, and nurses working in Community Mental Health Treatment Teams and Home Treatment Teams to ensure all those working with potentially vulnerable adults and children are regulated and meet national standards for mandatory mental health education and training.
An overview of diabetes-related foot ulcers
Authors: Gohil Krishna
Published: May 2024

The escalating prevalence of diabetes mellitus presents concern due to its widespread organ damage, including the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves, leading to severe complications such as heart attacks, strokes, blindness, and diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs). Management in the community setting should be focused on prevention, assessment and patient-centred care. By understanding the complex aetiology, risk factors, and classification of DFUs, along with utilising evidence-based interventions like the Wound, Infection and Ischemia (WIfI) system, we can streamline care. Neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease and infection are major contributors to DFU development, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention. Comprehensive care addressing vascular health, infection control, pressure offloading, wound management, metabolic control, and patient education is essential for successful DFU management. Ultimately, proactive prevention strategies and interdisciplinary collaboration are necessary in the management of DFUs and improving patient outcomes.
Consistency of wound care in Leg Clubs
Authors: Hampton Sylvie
Published: May 2024

Mr B had lost his wife of 65 years and was distraught, but he tried to move on with life. However, while playing football he injured his leg, which then developed into a venous ulcer that was to last for many years. Unfortunately, his care was inconsistent, and the wound was not progressing.

He found the local Leg Club and decided to self-refer. He not only went on to achieve wound closure rapidly, but he found a social atmosphere in the club, made friends and learned how to prevent the wound from recurring. He felt that consistency of care was the reason for the rapid progress.

Exploring Current Technologies, Applications, and Challenges in the Metaverse: A Comprehensive Survey
Authors: Malik Sushma , Rana Anamika
Published: May 2024

A brand-new class of Internet applications and social media platforms called Metaverse integrates many cutting-edge technology. The word “metaverse,” which was originally coined almost 20 years ago to represent a speculative virtual environment, describes a world in which users of augmented reality technology only experience psychological effects. Virtual world-based computer games were the first use of the Metaverse. Businesses that offered gaming services were vying with one another to give customers more unique experiences. The Metaverse, a concept popularized by science fiction, is rapidly becoming a tangible reality with the advancement of virtual and augmented reality technologies. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the current state of the Metaverse, focusing on the technologies driving its development, diverse applications across industries, and the challenges hindering its widespread adoption. Through an in-depth examination of existing literature, industry reports, and technological advancements, this survey provides insights into the evolving landscape of the Metaverse and offers perspectives on its potential impact on society, economy, and human interaction.
Silent power, audible impunity
Authors: Dales Hollie
Published: May 2024

“Silent power, audible impunity” examines conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) against male detainees, in Abu Ghraib and in Camp Breadbasket, following the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the US–UK coalition. The article explores three contributing factors to the abuse: the impunity of the Western perpetrators, the justification of the abuse through “War on Terror” narratives, and the gender norms within the military. It argues that it is imperative to ensure accountability for crimes against humanity, to cultivate a minimally harmful political discourse, and to address the impact of gendered discussions surrounding CRSV.
War and displacement

In this personal memoir of the impact of war and displacement, I tell the story of my father, a Polish-Jewish student from Lwow, then in Poland, who became a refugee after the German invasion of Soviet occupied Poland in 1941. It is the story of loss, survival and reinvention of nationality and family. It is a story familiar to those many refugees through the ages who coped with displacement and loss and made a new and successful life in a foreign country.
COVID-19, global public health justice, and the culture of organized irresponsibility
Authors: Catello Roberto
Published: May 2024

This article deploys the language of risk to offer a sociological perspective on the discourse of responsibility in the context of the governance and mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. While current debates about global public health justice often tend to overemphasize the role of legal action as a key measure in today’s global public health justice initiatives, the article argues that lack of adequate legal mechanisms – such as a global statute on public health crimes – constitutes only one barrier to the attainment of global public health justice. By and large, the failed administration of public health during global pandemics will not induce criminal prosecution on a worldwide scale and this is not because of lack of adequate legal channels but mostly because of the way in which world risk society reshapes the meaning of responsibility. The article argues that the COVID-19 pandemic is a manufactured risk that is being dealt with within a culture of organized irresponsibility that obfuscates accountability and liability for risk-creation and risk-management and transforms culpability for such risk-creation and risk-management into acquittal. Effective approaches to global public health justice, then, cannot be limited to the introduction of international legal safeguards but need to include a project for the social redistribution of bads and reallocation of global responsibility for risk-creation and risk-management.
Chinese Investment in the European Agricultural Infrastructure
Authors: Duggan Niall , Hooijmaaijers Bas , Santiago Anabela
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Europe's food sector infrastructure—which includes agricultural land, food production, processing companies, food safety, agri-transport, logistics, and agri-research and development—has become interconnected since the development of the single market. As a result, food production in Europe has now developed into a transcontinental system. Under a wider policy of Chinese outward FDI by means of the Go Global policy, Chinese companies are increasing their investments in the foreign agri-food sector. Chinese firms are increasingly acquiring agri-food companies in Europe. This is part of a broader state policy to increase Chinese food security. These concepts are analyzed using a governance approach. China is not a unitary actor investing in Europe's food sector infrastructure. Rather, the investment pattern differs between Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and private companies. The aim of this article is to understand why China continues to invest in European agricultural infrastructure despite growing tensions. The article argues that knowledge transfer from the EU agri-food sector allows China to meet its national objective of upgrading the Chinese food system.
The Great Connection – The Budapest-Belgrade Railway Project and Its Significance for Hungary's Foreign Policy Identity
Authors: Peragovics Tamás , Szunomár Ágnes
Published: May 2024

Abstract: This article investigates the significance of the Budapest-Belgrade railway project in the context of Hungary's foreign policy identity under the Orbán regime. It claims that existing explanations have so far failed to appreciate the project's symbolic importance for enacting and reproducing the Orbán government's self-conception in foreign affairs. This self-conception is notable for locating Hungary at the crossroads, geographically as well as normatively, between East and West and for appraising the country as a great conduit between and across these spaces. By viewing the railway upgrade as an element of identity politics, the article moves beyond the literature's crude notion that this is a political project simply because it seems not to make sense economically. We conduct a discourse analysis to trace the meaning of the project in a set of chosen texts from key actors in Hungarian politics. Besides appreciating the infrastructure project as a marker of identity, the article also shows that the Orbán government's emphasis on connecting distant worlds reveals a normatively Chinese approach to international politics in Central and Eastern Europe.
