Le sciage des bois tropicaux dans le Sud Viet-Nam
Authors: Chardin A.
Published: June 2023

L'ancien directeur d'une scierie mécanique en Indochine résume une enquête sur le sciage du bois dans la région de Saigon-Cholon : 30 % du bois est scié à la main ; les scieries mécaniques ne sont pas toutes adaptées aux conditions locales. La scie alternative horizontale n'est pas productive, la scie circulaire gaspille trop de bois ; la scie circulaire verticale et la scie à ruban donnent de meilleurs résultats, mais le sciage à ruban est souvent impraticable en raison du manque de personnel qualifié pour l'entretien des lames.
Les bois actuellement utilisés se raréfient et il faudra bientôt recourir à des variétés plus petites et plus dures. - La question qui se pose est de savoir s'il est souhaitable de convertir les scieries existantes à cette fin. De même, il serait avantageux de les transférer dans la forêt dense. Avant d'aborder ce problème de manière significative, il est nécessaire d'obtenir des informations appropriées sur la nature des peuplements et d'insister sur la nécessité de disposer de données très précises ; en outre, l'enseignement des techniques de sciage devrait être largement diffusé et toutes les personnes concernées par le sciage devraient être en mesure d'obtenir des informations complètes sur les machines fabriquées dans le monde entier.
Les résultats obtenus seront suivis avec intérêt par toutes les nations de l'Asie du Sud-Est.

Published: June 2023

The aims of community service activities is to increase public awareness in monitoring the development of children's growth and development since they are still in the womb through screening methods using diagnostic imaging. This program of proposed community service activities is based on an analysis of the needs of partners and considers the capabilities of the implementing team. The solution that will be provided in this community service activity is by providing training to village health workers (village midwives) on screening methods for early detection of stunting in pregnant women. Routine examinations in pregnant women can help find out whether the growth of the fetus is appropriate for age. In order to avoid stunted fetal growth, pregnant women must not be in a state of malnutrition and must avoid infection during pregnancy so that premature birth does not occur. One of the accurate tests to monitor fetal development is to use ultrasound diagnostic imaging. This community service activity was carried out on September 17 2022 at the Bremi Eco Park, Krucil District, Probolinggo Regency. The form of activity that will be carried out is in the form of counseling related to screening methods using diagnostic imaging modalities to the Bremi village community, especially health cadres as well as stunting screening examinations for pregnant women using Ultrasonography (USG).

Kecamatan Kalisat, Kabupaten Jember merupakan salah satu wilayah yang sudah berkembang sejak masa kolonial. Kebutuhan pemerintah kolonial akan  Pengabdian ini dilaksanakan di Desa Kalisat, Kecamatan Kalisat, Kabupaten Jember. Pengabdian ini dilaksanakan dengan berkolaborasi bersama komunitas Sudut Kalisat. Komunitas Sudut Kalisat merupakan salah satu komunitas swadaya dan nirlaba yang dibentuk oleh para pemuda di Kecamatan Kalisat. Komunitas ini memiliki perhatian yang cukup besar terhadap penelusuruan sumber-sumber sejarah, perawatan arsip-arsip bersejarah, pendokumentasian, dan publikasi, serta pelaksanaan berbagai macam kegiatan seni, budaya, dan sosial lainnya. Komunitas Sudut Kalisat Sudah pernah melakukan pameran arsip dan dokumentasi dan memublikasikan katalog pameran, namun mereka memiliki kekurangan dalam memanfaatkan sumber-sumber sejarah untuk membuat tulisan sejarah yang baik dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara metodologis. Kelompok Riset Sejarah Lokal Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Jember melakukan pengabdian dengan melakukan pendampingan terhadap komunitas Sudut Kalisat untuk menuliskan sejarah dari perspektif warga lokal. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian ini observasi lapangan, fokus grup diskusi, penggunaan Pustaka berupa arsip serta dokumen, dan pendampingan. Hasil temuan dari pengabdian ini menunjukkan bahwa anggota Komunitas Sudut Kalisat memiliki perhatian dan animo yang tinggi dalam bidang kesejarahan, namun mereka tidak memiliki keterampilan penggunaan metode sejarah yang memadai untuk menuliskan sejarah lokal mereka sendiri. Gagasan kegiatan penulisan sejarah lokal dalam batasan spasial lokalitas desa atau kecamatan harus disebarluaskan di Kabupaten Jember Jawa Timur. Karena banyak desa atau wilayah di kabupaten Jember yang tidak memiliki sejarah lokal mereka sendiri, selain itu, narasi sejarah lokal yang dihasilkan dapat digunakan untuk melengkapi bahan ajar bagi siswa sekolah.

Published: June 2023

In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted significant attention due to their distinctive properties, including exceptional mechanical flexibility and tunable electronic properties. Via the first-principles calculation, we investigate the effect of strain on the electronic properties of monolayer SnP2S6 and GeP2S6. We find that monolayer SnP2S6 is an indirect band gap semiconductor, while monolayer GeP2S6 is a direct band gap semiconductor. Notably, under uniform biaxial strains, SnP2S6 undergoes an indirect-to-direct band gap transition at 4.0% biaxial compressive strains, while GeP2S6 exhibits a direct-to-indirect transition at 2.0% biaxial tensile strain. The changes of the conduction band edge can be attributed to the high-symmetry point Γ being more sensitive to strain than K. Thus, the relocation of the conduction-band and valence-band edges in monolayer SnP2S6 and GeP2S6 induces a direct-to-indirect and indirect-to-direct band-gap transition respectively. Consequently, the strain is an effective band engineering scheme which is crucial for the design and development of next-generation nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices.
Ocean Wave Energy Converter (WEC) with IoT Applications
Authors: Amin Md Shohel
Published: June 2023

Ocean wave energy is a significantly well-liked renewable energy source. The Internet of Things (IoT) offers a great opportunity for development of the ocean wave energy research. The IoT technology significantly enhanced the performance of the ocean wave energy converter (WEC). The data obtained from IoT devices reduce the risk of using WEC. However, Integrating IoT devices with the WEC is a daunting task because controlling the WEC needs real-time data. This paper investigated the performance of WEC and estimate the lifetime of the modules. IoT devices integrated with various sensors determine different parameters and conditions of the ocean. The IoT platform is used for wireless voltmeters, wireless AC current meters, wireless voltage detection, wireless resistance sensors, wireless temperature sensor, wireless accelerometer, wireless pressure meters, and wireless water level sensors to determine the real-time condition of the ocean wave. These devices are also proven to be reliable and accurate.

Published: June 2023

Natural image matting is an essential technique for image processing that enables various applications, such as image synthesis, video editing, and target tracking. However, the existing image matting methods may fail to produce satisfactory results when computing resources are limited. Sampling-based methods can reduce the dimensionality of the decision space and therefore reduce computational resources by employing different sampling strategies. While these approaches reduce computational consumption, they may miss an optimal pixel pair when the number of available high-quality pixel pairs is limited. To address this shortcoming, we propose a novel multi-criterion sampling strategy that avoids missing high-quality pixel pairs by incorporating multi-range pixel pair sampling and high-quality samples selection method. This strategy is employed to develop a multi-criterion matting algorithm via Gaussian process, which searches for the optimal pixel pair by using the Gaussian process fitting model instead of solving the original pixel pair objective function. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperforms other methods even with 1% computing resources, and achieves alpha matte results comparable to those yielded by the state-of-the-art optimization algorithms.
Epidermal growth factor receptor T790M Mutation Testing in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: An International Collaborative Study to Assess Molecular EGFR T790M Testing in Liquid Biopsy
Authors: Filipits Martin , Kainz Verena , Sebek Viktor , Zach Herwig
Published: June 2023

Background: The detection of the EGFR T790M (T790M) mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who progressed under treatment with first- or second-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is important to offer a subsequent therapy with a third-generation EGFR-TKI. Liquid biopsy is a powerful tool to determine the T790M mutation status. Several liquid biopsy platforms with varying degrees of accuracy are available to test for T790M mutations and sensitivities may differ among these methods. Methods: As no standard exists for the testing of T790M mutation in liquid biopsy, we performed a collaborative study to describe and compare the sensitivity of different in-house liquid biopsy platforms for the detection of the T790M mutation, EGFR exon 19 deletion (del19) and EGFR L858R mutation (L858R) across multiple participating laboratories in seven Central and Eastern European countries. Results: Of the 25 invited laboratories across Central and Eastern Europe, 21 centers participated and received 10 plasma samples spiked with cell-line DNA containing the T790M, del19, or L858R mutation in different concentrations. In-house PCR-based and NGS-based methods were used accordingly, and results reported as in routine clinical practice. Two laboratories, which used the AmoyDx® EGFR 29 Mutations Detection Kit (AmoyDx) with Cobas® cfDNA Sample Preparation Kit and QX200 Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) with the QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit identified all ten samples correctly. Cobas® EGFR Mutation Test v2 (Cobas), the NGS methods, and the IdyllaTM detection method used in this study performed within the known sensitivity range of each detection method. Conclusions: If a negative result was obtained from methods with lower sensitivity (e.g. Cobas), repeated liquid biopsy testing and/or tissue biopsy analysis should be performed whenever possible, with the aim of identifying T790M-positive patients to allow them to receive the optimal second-line treatment with a third-generation EGFR TKI.
Parental Burnout in the Context of Special Needs, Adoption, and Single Parenthood
Authors: Roskam Isabelle , Mikolajczak Moïra
Published: June 2023

Although early work on parental burnout in the 1980s did not link parental burnout to specific parenting situations, the idea that parents affected by specific vulnerability factors were particularly at risk of burnout quickly emerged. Based on the etiological model of parental burnout (i.e., the balance between risks and resources), the objective of this study was to determine if there were specific vulnerability factors that significantly increase the risk of parental burnout. 2,563 parents participated in the study. We compared parents with a child with special needs (n = 25), parents who had adopted a child (n = 130), and single parents (n = 109), to strictly matched control groups of parents. Parents with a child with special needs displayed higher burnout and lower balance between risk and resources than the control group; parents with an adopted child had similar levels of both parental burnout and balance; and single parents had higher parental burnout but similar balance. Parents who combined specific several vulnerability factors were at greater risk of burnout. Single parenthood and adoption do not in themselves trigger a process leading de facto to other risk factors, but having a child with special needs does.
Diel Rhythm of Feeding and Mating Behaviors of the Western Flower Thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis
Authors: Kim Chulyoung , Akter Shamima , Kim Yonggyun
Published: June 2023

The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, is invasive and polyphagous. Its visual signal plays a crucial role in host location, suggesting that thrips has diurnal behavior. However, any diel rhythmicity of the thrips behavior is not yet well understood. This study analyzed the diurnal rhythmicity of the feeding and mating behaviors of thrips, and the patterns were explained in terms of diel rhythmicity by assessing the expression of genes associated with the circadian clock. Most feeding behaviors were observed during photophase in both larvae and adults. In mating behavior, which is mainly exhibited in 2~3 days-old young adults after emergence, most adults copulated at photophase. This diurnal pattern of the mating behavior was further supported by the analysis of a temporal calling behavior for mating, which was biased toward photophase. Four genes associated with the circadian clock were predicted in the F. occidentalis genome: period (PER), Timeless (TIM), Doubletime (DBT), and clock (CLK). All these genes exhibited a characteristic diel pattern in their gene expressions in a 24 h-period. The high expression peaks of these genes except for DBT were observed at photophase. To confirm the functional association of these genes with the feeding and mating behaviors, individual RNA interference specific to each gene was executed by feeding the gene-specific double-stranded RNA. Aside from DBT, suppression of these gene expressions resulted in significant deviations of the diel rhythms of the behaviors. These results suggest that the genetic components of the diel rhythmicity mediate the diurnal feeding and mating behaviors of F. occidentalis.
State-Owned Equity Participation and Corporations’ ESG Performance in China: The Mediating Role of Top Management Incentives
Authors: Yang Caoyuan , Qian Ting
Published: June 2023

This study examines the unique circumstances surrounding state-owned equity participation in non-state-controlled enterprises in China. Specifically, this study examines the impact of state-owned equity participation on the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of non-state-controlled enterprises. Focusing on A-share listed firms on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges and using data from 2013 to 2021, empirical testing shows that state-owned equity participation can significantly improve the ESG performance of non-state-controlled enterprises, with this conclusion remaining reliable after a series of robustness tests. Top management incentives is a mediating mechanism for state-owned equity participation in enhancing ESG performance. This study also finds that when state-owned equity participates in large enterprises or companies with a high degree of digital transformation, the effect on ESG performance is greater than that of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or enterprises with a low level of digital transformation. The findings of this study add to the current body of the existing field of research on the factors influencing corporate ESG performance and the impact of state-owned equity on corporate non-financial performance.
Did Cognitive–Attentional Syndrome Symptoms Predict Stress and Trauma-Related Symptoms in the Initial Phase of COVID-19 Pandemic? Results from a Two-Wave Study on a Sample of Polish Internet Users
Authors: Dragan Małgorzata , Grajewski Piotr
Published: June 2023

Background: According to metacognitive theory, Cognitive–Attentional Syndrome (CAS) is a transdiagnostic factor and main mechanism of psychopathology maintenance. The main goal of this study was to examine whether CAS predicted symptoms of stress and trauma-related symptomatology in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic and three months later. Methods: Initially 1,792 participants were recruited online via social media; data was collected at two time points. Measures included the Cognitive–Attentional Syndrome Questionnaire, Adjustment Disorder – New Module 20, the International Trauma Questionnaire, and additional measures. Results: Structural equation modeling was conducted in order to determine relations between reported stressors, CAS, and symptomatology. At both time points, CAS was a significant mediator between stressors and symptoms of adjustment disorder. Despite the decrease in the intensity of adjustment disorder symptoms between waves, it was a significant predictor of other psychopathology at both time points, except for traumatic stress. Conclusions: The findings confirm the assumption that CAS is a transdiagnostic factor of psychopathology, and has a mediating role in the relationship between stressors and adjustment disorder and co-occurring symptomatology. The effect was particularly significant in the initial phase of the pandemic, which was highly stressful for many people.

Published: June 2023

Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders (HCTDs) characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. Among the different types, the hypermobile EDS (hEDS) is the most frequent, and includes generalized joint hypermobility as the major diagnostic criterion. Joint hypermobility in hEDS is often associated with pain that not always allow the use of effective pain-reducing treatments. Patients with hEDS always talk about pain using a lot of descriptions.
Eighty-nine patients with diagnosis of hEDS were recruited and evaluated. They were asked to write down what grief was to them. The texts were analyzed through LIWC. Correlational analyses were conducted between pain perception and language. A comparison of high/low pain perception and quality of metaphors was carried out.
The results showed, depending on the level of pain perception, different language quality is evidenced. The greater the pain the lesser the positive effects and the greater the negative effects and dehumanizing metaphors. Moreover, greater pain seems to be related to a verbal experience of greater isolation and less self-care.
In conclusion, the use of metaphors is a useful tool for exploring illness experience and may help clinicians in the rehabilitation program.

Revascularization of the myocardium under conditions of extracorporeal circulation cause clinical problems related to the effects of the intervention itself on the immune system and inflammatory response, especially systemic inflammatory response (Engl. Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, SIRS).

This prospective study included 100 patients who underwent single, double and triple surgical revascularization of the myocardium, at the Clinic for Cardiac Surgery of CC Niš, in the period from January 15., 2020. until January 15., 2021. 22 female persons - 22.0% and 78 male persons - 78.0%) were included. Preoperatively, as well as 8 hours after the surgical intervention, the following parameters were determined for the subjects: blood count (erythrocyte count - Rbc, hemoglobin - Hgb, hematocrit - Hct, leukocyte count - Wbc, platelet count - Plt) and CRP, soluble CD14 molecule (sCD 14) - presepsin, levels of the following cytokines: TNFα, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 p70 and IFN γ.

Patients in whom the extracorporeal circulation method was applied had, postoperatively, a higher concentration of CRP (p<0.001), as well as a concentration of presepsin (p<0.05) - a greater number of patients had a concentration of presepsin above the limit of 600 pg/ mL (p<0.01). Four patients out of 51 (7.84%) in the ECB group had elevated presepsin values over 1000 pg/ml and high risk according to clinical criteria for the development of systemic bacterial infection and sepsis. No such patients were recorded in the off pump group. Also, in the group where the extracorporeal blood flow system was applied, 17.64% of patients (9/51) met the clinical criteria for SIRS with elevated presepsin values over 600 pg/mL, while in the other group of patients, 2 out of 49 (4.08%) met the clinical criteria and laboratory criteria for SIRS. Except for TNFa, the levels of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-10 showed an increase after the intervention in all groups compared to the preoperative period (p<0.01).

However, comparing the degree of cytokine increase in the postoperative period between the control (off pump) and the extracorporeal blood flow group did not show a statistical difference (IL-2; p=0.881, IL-1; p=0.709, IL-6; p=0.911, IL- 10, p=0.179).

In the postoperative period, a higher incidence rate of SIRS was noted in patients in whom the ECB system was used, which also indicates its importance in the development of systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation.
