Published: January 2024

Rice is an important food commodity to meet the high demand for food, especially in Asia. Most of the central producing countries of this commodity are located in Asia, and they play a significant role in supporting the availability of food for the people amidst the significant risks and uncertainties in carrying out rice farming, including the consequences of climate change and pests and diseases. This study aims to (1) find out the trend of rice production and production risks in the central producing countries over 61 years and (2) find out the risks of rice production in each of the central producing countries. This research was conducted using descriptive analysis using secondary data from 1961-2021, which was processed into tables and graphs. Meanwhile, the calculation of production risk is carried out using the coefficient of variation method. The results show that rice production in the central producing countries has a positive trend, where production increases from year to year. This is followed by a decrease in the risk of rice production every year. Vietnam is a country with the most significant rice production risk, while Cina and Brazil are countries with the lowest production risk. The application of programs proclaimed by the government, which are also adapted to the characteristics of farmers and actual conditions in the field, is expectee to minimize production risks so that optimal production can be achieved.

Authors: Ibnu Muhammad
Published: January 2024

Indonesia is one of the largest cassava importers among the ten cassava-producing countries. While there is a production surplus, Indonesia's cassava imports tend to increase yearly to meet industrial needs. This research has four objectives. First, to analyze (change) the production and trade of the world's largest cassava-producing countries in the future and the implications for Indonesia. Second, to evaluate the enabling environment for cassava production and marketing. Third, to identify the comparative advantages of Indonesia's cassava trade compared to other producing countries. Fourth, evaluate the potential for partnerships to increase Indonesian cassava production and marketing sustainability. This study used FAOSTAT data (1961-2020) projected to 15 years (2021-2035) with a double exponential smoothing method. Comparative advantages are evaluated with the Relative Export Advantage, Relative Import Advantage, Relative Trade Advantage, Net Export, and Grubel-Lloyd indexes. This study found that Indonesia's cassava harvested area will likely decrease while cassava imports will likely increase. Indonesia has a comparative advantage in exporting cassava. However, it is under-optimized due to inefficient cassava trades at the regional level and less successful cassava partnerships (between farmers and industry). This study recommends improving cassava production and trade conditions through improving enabling environments and collaborations between actors in the cassava chain.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology requires innovation to introduce superior features compared to existing technologies, including in the field of healthcare, such as infant incubators. Currently, there is no infant incubator that incorporates an automatic tilt stabilizer, even though the inclination values have been specified and established by the Indonesian National Standard with a recommended 5° inclination during regular usage and a 10° inclination during baby transfers Therefore, The Design and Development of an Infant Incubator with a Tilt Stabilizer for Reducing Tilting During Baby Transfers Using Raspberry Pi-based IoT was undertaken.

This research uses an experimental method to achieve the desired performance, following these steps: collecting data and information, controller determination, hardware design, circuit schematics, software design, and user interface website design. Raspberry Pi was chosen as the controller due to its sufficient input and output (GPIO) pins to read sensors and operate actuators. The tilt stabilizer was created usings NEMA17 stepper motor and self-designed flexible screw nut to ensure precise tilt adjustment. During testing, the system demonstrated reliable performance. This was verified by analyzing the test data and sensor readings displayed on the HDMI-connected screen, concurrently with the data presentation on the website. The temperature graph inside the incubator consistently maintained a value of 37°C with a deviation of 2°C using the PID control methode. The incubator's tilt, when transferred to an inclined surface of 20°, remained stable at 10° when the tilt stabilizer was activated.

Effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis for acute esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with band ligation: A large observational study
Authors: Ichita Chikamasa , Shimizu Sayuri , Goto Tadahiro , Haruki Uojima , Itoh Naoya , Iwagami Masao , Sasaki Akiko
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Esophageal variceal bleeding is a severe complication associated with liver cirrhosis and typically necessitates endoscopic hemostasis. The current standard treatment is endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL), and Western guidelines recommend antibiotic prophylaxis following hemostasis. However, given the improvements in prognosis for variceal bleeding due to advancements in the management of bleeding and treatments of liver cirrhosis and the global concerns regarding the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, there is a need to reassess the use of routine antibiotic prophylaxis after hemostasis.

AIM

To evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients treated for EVL.

METHODS

We conducted a 13-year observational study using the Tokushukai medical database across 46 hospitals. Patients were divided into the prophylaxis group (received antibiotics on admission or the next day) and the non-prophylaxis group (did not receive antibiotics within one day of admission). The primary outcome was composed of 6-wk mortality, 4-wk rebleeding, and 4-wk spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). The secondary outcomes were each individual result and in-hospital mortality. A logistic regression with inverse probability of treatment weighting was used. A subgroup analysis was conducted based on the Child-Pugh classification to determine its influence on the primary outcome measures, while sensitivity analyses for antibiotic type and duration were also performed.

RESULTS

Among 980 patients, 790 were included (prophylaxis: 232, non-prophylaxis: 558). Most patients were males under the age of 65 years with a median Child-Pugh score of 8. The composite primary outcomes occurred in 11.2% of patients in the prophylaxis group and 9.5% in the non-prophylaxis group. No significant differences in outcomes were observed between the groups (adjusted odds ratio, 1.11; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-1.99; P = 0.74). Individual outcomes such as 6-wk mortality, 4-wk rebleeding, 4-wk onset of SBP, and in-hospital mortality were not significantly different between the groups. The primary outcome did not differ between the Child-Pugh subgroups. Similar results were observed in the sensitivity analyses.

CONCLUSION

No significant benefit to antibiotic prophylaxis for esophageal variceal bleeding treated with EVL was detected in this study. Global reassessment of routine antibiotic prophylaxis is imperative.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of an Alternate Diatom Extraction Procedure in Diatomological Study
Authors: Surangama Chakraborty
Published: January 2024

Background: The “Diatom Test” is based on the recovery of diatoms in high concentration in the organs of drowned persons because diatoms pass through the alveoli into the great circulation. Acid digested extracts of various internal organs and water collected from waterbodies demonstrate the presence of diatoms. If quantitatively and qualitatively these diatoms match to each other, that is the confirmatory diagnosis of death due to drowning in that drowning medium. This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of alternate method of diatom extraction using diluted Sulphuric acid solution and to compare its effectiveness with the traditional method of extraction of diatoms using concentrated nitric acid.Methods: It was a prospective study. Samples were collected from ten different water bodies which included lakes,rivers, canals and reservoirs, for a period of one year in all the seasons. The pH and temperature of water were recorded during sampling. From each of water samples, diatoms were extracted using both classical and alternate method. And then compared by observing the diatoms at 100X magnification under compound microscope. Total 22 genera of diatoms were identified. Most of them were pennales and few were centrales. The time demanded for complete digestion of samples with strong acids like concentrated nitric acid was much lesser time than with diluted acids as it hasstronger digestive capability in comparison to diluted sulphuric acid. The structures of different diatoms specifically Cyclotella, Cybella, Navicula were better found in almost intact state with clear background after digestion by diluted sulphuric acid.Conclusion: Depending on different criterion, digestion by diluted sulphuric acid has procured better result than concentrated nitric acid digestion method. Therefore, for qualitative and quantitative diatom analysis alternate diatom extraction method is a better choice than traditional method.

Authors: Migašová Jana
Published: January 2024

The subject of the paper is the changing visual language of the illustrations in Čenkovej deti [Čenková’s Children] by Fraňo Kráľ (1932). After 1948, the book was transformed into a paradigmatic story reflecting social injustice and became compulsory reading for primary-school children. This necessitated a number of artistic solutions in the form of illustration sets interpreting and canonising the narrative. By means of a comparison of Josef Rybák’s and Štefan Cpin’s illustrative approaches, the study reveals the essential difference in their conveyance of content in two different historical situations.

Dynamics of one-dimensional maps and Gurtin–Maccamy's population model. Part I. Asymptotically constant solutions
Authors: Herrera Franco , Trofimchuk Sergei
Published: January 2024

UDC 517.9
Motivated by the recent work by  Ma and Magal [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. (2021); https://doi.org/10.1090/proc/15629] on  the global stability property of  the Gurtin–MacCamy's population model, we consider a family of scalar nonlinear convolution equations with unimodal nonlinearities.  In particular, we  relate the Ivanov and Sharkovsky analysis  of singularly perturbed delay differential equations in [https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-61243-5_5] with the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the  Gurtin–MacCamy's system. According the classification proposed in  [https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-61243-5_5], we can distinguish three fundamental  kinds of continuous solutions of our equations, namely, solutions of the asymptotically constant type, relaxation type  and turbulent type. We present various conditions assuring that all solutions belong to the first of these three classes. In the setting of unimodal convolution  equations, these conditions suggest a generalized version of the famous Wright's conjecture.

FAMILY BUSINESS INNOVATIVENESS: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND COMBINED EFFECT OF SIZE, AGE/GENERATION AND FAMILY OWNERSHIP
Authors: Skrbková Denisa , Rydvalová Petra
Published: January 2024

No large-scale quantitative studies exist on how the complex characteristics of the firm affect the innovativeness of family businesses. Our study is the first to quantitatively examine how size, age/generation and family ownership individually and in combination affect the innovativeness of family businesses, using data from 56 countries. Firstly, we found that medium and large family businesses are perceived by potential successors as more innovative than small businesses; secondly, that the trend of family business innovativeness changes over time and generations according to the U-shape line; and thirdly, that the most effective family ownership in terms of innovativeness seems to be that with exactly 50%. These results were subsequently confirmed by testing the combined effect of the above mentioned three characteristics. In contrast, small family businesses in which the second or any subsequent generation is involved and which are minority or majority family-owned are perceived as the least innovative family businesses. Our findings can help public authorities in deciding how to allocate public funds, investors in deciding how to co-finance projects, and family businesses in defining development and innovation strategies for their growth.
The Global Asteroseismology Project Proof of Concept: Asteroseismology of Massive Stars with Continuous Ground-based Observations
Authors: Shitrit Noi , Arcavi Iair
Published: January 2024

Massive (≳8M
⊙) stars are the progenitors of many astrophysical systems, yet key aspects of their structure and evolution are poorly understood. Asteroseismology has the potential to solve these open puzzles; however, sampling both the short period pulsations and long period beat patterns of massive stars poses many observational challenges. Ground-based single-site observations require years or decades to discern the main oscillation modes. Multisite campaigns were able to shorten this time span, but have not been able to scale up to population studies on sample of objects. Space-based observations can achieve both continuous sampling and observe large numbers of objects; however, most lack the multiband data that is often necessary for mode identification and removing model degeneracies. Here, we develop and test a new ground-based observational strategy for discerning and identifying the main oscillation modes of a massive star in a few months, in a way that can be scaled to large samples. We do so using the Las Cumbres Observatory—a unique facility consisting of robotic, homogeneous telescopes operating as a global network, overcoming most of the challenges of previous multisite efforts, but presenting new challenges which we tailor our strategy to address. This work serves as the proof of concept for the Global Asteroseismology Project, which aims to move massive star asteroseismology from single-objects to bulk studies, unleashing its full potential in constraining stellar structure and evolution models. This work also demonstrates the ability of the Las Cumbres Observatory to perform multisite continuous observations for various science goals.
Dynamical Stellar Mass-to-light Ratio Gradients: Evidence for Very Centrally Concentrated IMF Variations in ETGs?

Published: January 2024

Evidence from different probes of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) has repeatedly converged on IMFs more bottom heavy than in the Milky Way (MW). This consensus has come under scrutiny due to often contradictory results from different methods on the level of individual galaxies. In particular, a number of strong lensing probes are ostensibly incompatible with a non-MW IMF. Radial gradients of the IMF—related to gradients of the stellar mass-to-light ratio ϒ—can potentially resolve this issue. We construct Schwarzschild models allowing for ϒ-gradients in seven massive ETGs with MUSE and SINFONI observations. We find dynamical evidence that ϒ increases toward the center for all ETGs. The gradients are confined to subkiloparsec scales. Our results suggest that constant-ϒ models may overestimate the stellar mass of galaxies by up to a factor of 1.5. For all except one galaxy, we find a radius where the total dynamical mass has a minimum. This minimum places the strongest constraints on the IMF outside the center and appears at roughly 1 kpc. We consider the IMF at this radius characteristic for the main body of each ETG. In terms of the IMF mass-normalization α relative to a Kroupa IMF, we find on average an MW-like IMF 〈α
main〉 = 1.03 ± 0.19. In the centers, we find concentrated regions with increased mass normalizations that are less extreme than previous studies suggested, but still point to a Salpeter-like IMF, 〈α
cen〉 = 1.54 ± 0.15.
