Infrared Thermography of Teat in French Dairy Alpine Goats: A Promising Tool to Study Animal-Machine Interaction during Milking but Not to Detect Mastitis
Authors: Marnet Pierre-Guy , Velasquez Alejandro B. , Dzidic Alen
Published: February 2024

There is a need to develop tools for mastitis management in goats and to measure the effects of milking machines on teats. Infrared thermography (IRT), as shown in cows, was a good candidate for early detection of mastitis and focusing on milking equipment and settings implicated in potential problems. The aim of this study was to test IRT to detect udder inflammation and the effects of mechanical milking on teats in relation to inflammation status, udder balance and teat shape in Alpine goats. IRT spectra were compared before and after milking in 551 goats from three commercial herds compared to their individual SCC (somatic cell count). We found no regression or trend between logSCC and IRT measurement or response to milking, even in highly inflamed goat udders. The effect of milking was significant (P
Study on the Projection of Potential Evapotranspiration Trend in Yangtze River Delta and the Uncertainty
Authors: Ding Lu , Yu Yi , Zhang Shaobo
Published: February 2024

Global warming may increase the potential evapotranspiration (Etp), thereby affecting the amount of clean water resources available in a region. In this study, the systematic biases in temperature outputs of 24 global climate models (GCMs) under 3 emission scenarios are corrected by using 8 bias correction methods. The trend of Etp in Yangzi River Delta in the 21st century is projected by using 4 Etp calculation formulas. The uncertainty of the projections is estimated and decomposed by using multi-way analysis of variance. The influence of uncertainty on the projected change signal is quantified by using the signal-to-noise ratio. The results show that, relative to the reference period (1971~2000), the annual mean daily Etp in Yangzi River Delta will increase by 0.14~0.17mm/d during the period 2021~2050 and by 0.21~0.41mm/d during the period 2061~2090, respectively. During 2021~2050, the uncertainty of Etp increase projections is dominantly contributed by the main effects of GCM (63%) and Etp calculation formula (24%). During 2061~2090, it is mainly contributed by the main effect of GCM (36%), followed by the main effects of emission scenario (34%) and Etp calculation formula (18%). The increase projections of Etp are generally reliable and robust during the two projection periods.

Background and Objectives: The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationships between several clinical and biological factors, but also the tumor topography and surgical strategies used in patients with colorectal cancer. Materials and Methods: We designed an analytical, observational, retrospective study that included patients admitted to our emergency surgical department and diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The study group inclusion criteria were: patients admitted during 2020-2022; patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (including the ileocecal valve); patients who benefited from a surgical procedure, either in emergency or elective. Results: In our study group, consisting of 153 patients, we accounted for 56.9% male patients and 43.1% female patients. The most common clinical manifestations were pain (73.2% of the study group), followed by abdominal distension (69.3% of the study group) and absence of intestinal transit (38.6% of the study group). A number of 69 patients were operated in emergency (45.1%), while 84 patients (54.9%) benefited from elective surgery. The most frequent topography of the tumor was the sigmoid colon, with 19.60% of the patients, followed by the colorectal junction, with 15.68% of the patients and superior rectum and inferior rectum, with 11.11% of the patients in each subcategory. The most frequent type of procedure was right hemicolectomy (21.6% of the study group), followed by rectosigmoid resection (20.9% of the study group). The surgical procedure was finished by performing an anastomosis in 49% of the patients, an ostomy in 43.1% of the patients, while for 7.8% of the patients, a tumoral biopsy was performed. Conclusions: Colorectal cancer remains one of the most frequent cancers in the world, with a heavy burden that involves high mortality, alterations in the quality of life of the patients and their families, and also the financial costs of the medical systems.
The Evolutionary Mapping of Intrinsic Disorder and Evolved Protein Multi-functionality (Commentary)
Authors: Aftab Asifa , Basu Anirneya , Nath Seema , Basu Sankar
Published: February 2024

The evolution of human society over the course of decades and centuries has led to an ever-increasingly complex modern life, one of the hallmark of which is the need for multi-tasking, both individually and collectively. Does this macroscopic evolution of the human societal dynamics have an empirical mapping to the microscopic evolution of the functional molecular units within cells and their manifold cross-talks? The relatively new wealth of knowledge coming from recent research on protein intrinsic disorder, fold-switching, domain shuffling, gene duplication, and other aspects has given us new insights into the relationship between protein structure and function. This has led to a paradigm shift in protein science, clearly diverging from the traditional idea of 'one sequence – one structure – one function' to a more complex understanding of protein functionality. This paradigm shift has caused scientists to delve deeper into the subject, exploring the philosophical as well as the scientific basis of evolved protein multi-functionality, expressed by various evolutionary toys and tools to fit the cumulative multi-functional requirements within proteins. This commentary covers the different evolutionary arsenals to achieve the growing multi-functionality and attempts to connect intrinsic disorder in proteins as probably the sharpest weapon of all.
Pollutants in Breastmilk, the Latest Data in 2024
Authors: Serreau Raphaël , Terbeche Yasmine , Rigourd Virginie
Published: February 2024

Background: Perinatal exposure to pollutants could lead to side-effects in mothers and children, since this is a period of high vulnerability. Sparse and contradictory data are available on the impact of pollutants on breast milk. Objective: The present study consists of a scoping to review the recent research on the persistent presence of organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals in breast milk. Design: We performed a scoping review using two online databases to identify articles published from 1995 to 2023 on pollutants in breast milk, using the PRISMA Checklist. Results: A total of 54 articles were found relevant. POPs were present in breast milk in higher concentrations the longer the lactation period. In 3-year-old children, the presence of POPs correlated with the duration of breastfeeding. Estimated dietary exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) during pregnancy was positively associated with plasma concentrations in 3-year-old children, but not in pregnant women, suggesting transplacental transfer of these substances. Indeed, plasma concentrations were approximately 40% higher in children compared to pregnant women. In China, a clinical study assessed the risks of POPs in breastfed infants under 6 months of age. POPs decreased over time. Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane (DDT) was present in infants living in coastal areas. Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) was the pollutant of greatest concern. Parity is a major determinant of POP levels in breast milk, as are heavy metals. Carcinogenic PAHs were found to a greater extent in obese mothers than in mothers with a normal body mass index. Discussion: POPs and heavy metals could be found in infant formula as well as maternal milk. furthers studies are needed to compare the concentrations between the two milks. Conclusions: Breastfeeding is the only food recommended by the WHO for optimal infant growth. It would seem advisable to pursue risk reduction policies to protect mothers and infants from contaminants in breast milk.

This research aims to carry out an in-depth analysis regarding risks and work safety control efforts at the SMKS Pancasila Surakarta Machining Workshop, by applying the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method. In the direct observation process, a number of potential risks have been identified, including aspects of lighting that are less than optimal, equipment storage management that is not yet fully efficient, conditions of supporting facilities that need to be improved, and a lack of awareness regarding Occupational Safety and Health (K3). This risk analysis then paves the way for the development of control measures that focus on improving lighting, better equipment storage arrangements, strategic placement of supporting facilities, installation of stabilizers on machines, and expanding K3 awareness through industrial work culture. It is hoped that these recommendations can make a significant contribution in creating a learning environment that is not only safe and comfortable, but also more productive for students and teaching staff in vocational school machining workshops. Thus, this research not only illustrates an in-depth understanding of risks in SMK machining workshops, but also offers concrete solutions to improve overall work safety conditions.

Published: February 2024

During the decommissioning activities, a movie was shot inside the reactor building during the investigation of the primary containment vessel by applying photogrammetry, which is one of the methods for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from images, to the images from this movie, it is feasible to perform 3D reconstruction of the environment around the primary containment vessel. However, the images from this movie may not be suitable for 3D reconstruction because they were shot remotely by robots owing to limited illumination, high-dose environments, etc. Moreover, photogrammetry has the disadvantage of easily changing 3D reconstruction results by simply changing the shooting conditions. Therefore, this study investigated the accuracy of the 3D reconstruction results obtained by photogrammetry with changes in the camera angle of view under shooting conditions. In particular, we adopted 3D computer graphics software to simulate shooting target objects for 3D reconstruction in a dark environment while illuminating them with light for application in decommissioning activities. The experimental results obtained by applying artificial images generated by simulation to the photogrammetry method showed that more accurate 3D reconstruction results can be obtained when the camera angle of view is neither too wide nor too narrow when the target objects are shot and surrounded. However, the results showed that the accuracy of the obtained results is low during linear trajectory shooting when the camera angle of view is wide.

Authors: Suzuki Satoru ,   Editorial Office, Imaoka Noriaki , Ando Takeshi
Published: February 2024

There is a need to create a well-being oriented society to improve people’s lives by enhancing their mental satisfaction. In this study, we examined the changes in human emotions based on human–robot interaction by using a communication robot called babypapa. We defined KANSEI as the sensitivity of emotional change to the robot’s behavior and established a KANSEI model. Specifically, to clarify the behavior that the robot should exhibit to make children feel close to it, we conducted play experiments between the robot and 3–4 year-old children to investigate the relationship between the robot’s behavior and the feeling of closeness. The results of the experiment showed that contact and noncontact behaviors of the robot contributed to the feeling of closeness. We demonstrated a certain tendency of closeness and robot behavior.
One-Way-Signal-Based Localization Method of Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles for Distributed Ocean Surveys
Authors: Matsuda Takumi ,   Editorial Office, Weng Yang , Sekimori Yuki , Sakamaki Takashi , Maki Toshihiro
Published: February 2024

This study proposes a simultaneous localization method of a group of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) based on one-way signals to realize distributed oceanographic surveys. Each AUV group consists of a single high-performance AUV (parent AUV) and the other AUVs (child AUVs). The child AUVs estimate their states (position and heading) based on the parent AUV as a positioning reference. By assuming a situation in which many AUV groups are deployed, the child AUVs can receive positioning signals from multiple parent AUVs. Although only the direction information of the parent AUV can be obtained from a signal from one parent AUV, the child AUVs can estimate their states by receiving signals from different parent AUVs. Sea experiments were conducted using an autonomous buoy and an AUV. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated through a navigation simulation based on the sensor data obtained from the experiments.
A Method of Detection and Identification for Axillary Buds
Authors: Kawaguchi Manabu ,   Editorial Office, Takesue Naoyuki
Published: February 2024

During the period from sowing and planting to harvesting, outdoor crops are directly affected by the natural environment, including wind, rain, frost, and sunlight. Under such circumstances, vegetables change their growth conditions, shape, and flexibility daily. We aimed to develop an agricultural work-support robot that automates monitoring, cultivation, disease detection, and treatment. In recent years, many researchers and venture companies have developed agricultural harvesting robots. In this study, instead of focusing on intensive harvesting operations, we focused on daily farm operations from the beginning of cultivation to immediately before harvest. Therefore, gripping and cutting are considered basic functions that are common to several routine agricultural tasks. To find the assumed objects from a camera image with a low computational load, this study focuses on branch points to detect and identify even if the stems, lateral branches, and axillary buds are swaying in the wind. A branch point is a characteristic part close to the working position, even when the wind blows. Therefore, we propose a method to detect the assumed branch points simultaneously and divide each branch point into the main stem, lateral branch, and axillary bud. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated through experimental evaluations using three types of vegetables, regardless of whether their stems are swaying.

Authors: Azizah Yunita Dwi Nur , Widodo Wimbuh Tri
Published: February 2024

Bacterial contamination can come from the environment as a result of food production processes in the form of biological, chemical and foreign matter contaminants that can interfere with, harm and endanger human health. One of the problems in the processed food sector is the high level of bacterial contamination in the food served on the market. The condition of open food is also the main factor causing food to be contaminated with bacteria. The Total Plate Count (ALT) or total plate count (TPC) is an examination used to determine the number of microorganisms both bacteria and fungi using solid media with the final result being colonies. The aim of the study was to determine bacterial contamination and to determine the total plate number (ALT) of bacterial colonies in smoked fish sold at Ngemplak Market, Tulungagung. This research used a Simple Random Design (RAS) method with four treatments and 3 repetitions. The results showed that for menot fish it was 16.2 x 105 cfu/g, for tuna it was 10.5 x 105 cfu/g, for tuna it was 9.4 x 105 cfu/g, for bader fish it was 16.4 x 105 cfu/g. g, and in whitefish 20.5 x 105 cfu/g. The conclusion is that the bacterial contamination of smoked fish sold at the Ngemplak Market using the ALT method exceeds the normal limit value set by SNI 2725:2013.

В статье рассматривается феномен благодарного ученичества в контексте биографии, а также рецепции личности и идей М.М. Бахтина. В последние десятилетия с именем и идеями мыслителя связывают происходящий в отечественной и зарубежной педагогической теории «диалогический поворот». Диалогизм Бахтина становится методологической основой для так называемой диалогической педагогики, успешно развивающейся как на Западе, так и в России. На основе архивных материалов, анализа соответствующих разделов «Проблем поэтики Достоевского», поздних текстов Бахтина, а также обнаруженных в архиве ученого документов авторы выдвигают предположение о том, что сформировавшаяся в ранних трудах мыслителя идея ответственности к концу 1950-х – в 1960-е гг. становится принципом его педагогической деятельности и подспудно заложенной в ней «педагогики ответственности». Феномен благодарного ученичества рождается в диалоге Бахтина со своими наставниками и учениками, что позволяет по-новому взглянуть на процесс рецепции личности и идей ученого в конце 1950-х – начале 1970-х гг., оценить педагогический потенциал его концепции диалога. Впервые в научный оборот вводится ряд документов из личного архива Бахтина, в частности набросок выступления перед выпускниками историко-филологического факультета Мордовского университета, черновики автобиографии 1946 г., ответа на первое письмо В.В. Кожинова и др.
The position of a person in visual chaos
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Savchuk V. V.
Published: February 2024

В статье анализируется переход человека из мира вещей и персональных отношений в мир визуальных образов и цифровой коммуникации. Визуальная среда вбирает и концентрированно возвращает нам и идеологию, и политику, и экономическое положение, и нравственное состояние общества, и оптимизм в достижении общих целей. Она точный портрет состояния общества. Для создания экологически здоровой визуальной среды внутреннее пространство жилища размыкается, а внешнее, уличное, сопротивляясь геометрической принудительности, ограничивается и замыкается. Автором конституируется дисциплина, изучающая визуальную среду обитания, – визуальная экология – и определяется специфика ее предмета. Указывается ее связь с экологией как таковой, с одной стороны, и с визуальной урбанистикой – с другой. Логика исследования визуальной среды требует переноса исследовательского интереса от абстрактного знака к символу, от прямолинейности магистралей к естественной линии природных локаций, от стерильной регулярности к естественной линии ландшафта. В деле визуально-экологической экспертизы важна мера визуальной информации, с позиций которой число окружающих человека образов оказывается избыточным, а их размеры, интенсивность воздействия и навязчивая стратегия привлечения внимания – чрезмерны. В статье тематизируется способность воображения воплощать, опредмечивать, оформлять. Воображение трактуется как процесс превращения образа в реальность, в предметный мир, в волевой импульс, в стратегию поведения и принятия решений.
The Meaning of life and national philosophy: towards the publication of selected philosophical works by A.L. Nikiforov
Authors:   Georg August University of Göttingen, Kusliy P.S.
Published: February 2024

Статья представляет собой размышление над «Избранными философскими сочинениями» в двух томах [Никифоров 2023а; Никифоров 2023б] А.Л. Никифорова, известного отечественного логика, философа и методолога науки, вышедшими в 2023 г. незадолго до смерти автора. В сборник вошли работы, опубликованные в виде книг и научных монографий в разные годы (1983–2021). Это книги разной направленности: от специальных исследований в области философии естествознания и философии истории до популярного введения в логику, теорию аргументации и философию. Особое внимание в этом размышлении уделяется концепции смысла индивидуальной жизни человека, представленной А.Л. Никифоровым в одноименной книге (М., 2012). Автор статьи указывает, что эта концепция Никифорова наименее известна широкой общественности, и, излагая ее основные пункты, он стремится привлечь к ней большее внимание. В рамках предложенного рассуждения с опорой на цитаты из оригинальной работы Никифорова автор стремится показать, как именно Никифорову как философу удается представить смысл индивидуальной жизни человека способом, строго обоснованным с философской точки зрения, но одновременно и обращенным к любому человеку, даже не имеющему специальной подготовки в области философии, независимо от его занятий и жизненных обстоятельств. В заключении обсуждается вклад Никифорова в проект национальной философии, который тот считал одним из главных аспектов своей философской программы. В поздних работах А.Л. Никифорова философия, ее цели и задачи обсуждаются исключительно в терминах национального интеллектуального проекта. С этой общей установкой, практически всегда реализовывавшейся в том значительном внимании, которое Никифоров уделял обсуждению концепций именно отечественных философов, удивительным образом соединялся также и его уникальный литературный стиль, сочетавший юмор, иронию, простоту с глубиной и высочайшим уровнем профессионализма.
Technems: their power and importance in digital interaction
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Ocheretyaniy K.A.
Published: February 2024

В статье по аналогии с минимальными смыслоразличительными единицами «фонемами», «морфемами», «мифемами» и т.д. вводится концепт «технема». Фонема акцентирует звучание, морфема – значение, мифема – образ, технема – интеракцию. Согласно эволюционным, эпистемологическим и когнитивным исследованиям метафора ближе к «телесному уму», чем к чистому разуму (абстрактному и операциональному). Согласно же антропологическим, мифопоэтическим и медиафилософским исследованиям первые формы медиации рождаются из воздействия стихий на тело. В рамках рассмотрения триады «тело – стихия – метафора» показывается, что «технема» – нечто среднее между метафорой и стихией – то, что, с одной стороны, метафоризирует воздействие на тело, а с другой стороны – воплощает метафору. Исходя из гипотезы о том, что технемы обуславливают телесное обживание стихий и метафор, выделяются три технемы – лес, ткань, зеркало, связанные с обживанием среды, тела, лица. Графический пользовательский интерфейс рассматривается не как способ абстрактно-операционального взаимодействия, а как способ обжить стихию цифры, которая одновременно являет среду, обуславливает техники тела, режимы репрезентации и идентификации. Соответственно для понимания существования в цифре, стихийные проявления цифровой реальности, необходимо учитывать технемы, их силу и значение.

Статья представляет собой историографический и теоретический обзор взглядов русских мыслителей XIX – начала XX вв. на вопрос о славянской и, шире, индоевропейской прародине, которые анализируются в широком историческом контексте с акцентом на культурный и идеологический аспекты данной проблематики. В статье впервые прослеживается ряд этапов и направлений в развитии представлений о прародине в русской мысли самого широкого спектра – от академической истории до поэзии и эзотерики. Рассматриваются основные гипотезы исторической прародины: дунайская, доминировавшая в русской исторической мысли в XII–XIX вв., центральноазиатская, «скифская», европейская, балтийская, арктическая; анализируется разница между подходами, устанавливаются причины изменения господствующих тенденций. Также рассматривается репрезентация вопроса об исторической прародине в публичном дискурсе, исследуется его роль в конструировании национальной идеологии. Выявляются особенности влияния на него культурно-социальной среды.

One of the most critical bottlenecks toward all-solid-state batteries lies in how the solid(electrode)-solid(electrolyte) interface can be seamlessly fabricated and maintained over repeated electrochemical cycles. Conventional composite cathodes, with their randomly distributed cathode and electrolyte particles, present a range of crystallographically distinct electrode/electrolyte interfaces, each with varying chemical and electrochemical compatibilities, thereby adding more considerable complexities. Herein, as a first step to unravel the complexity of the interface, we employ an epitaxial model system in which the crystal orientations of cathode (e.g., Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2, NCM) and solid electrolyte (e.g., Li3xLa(2/3)−x⎕(1/3)−2xTiO3, LLTO) are precisely controlled, and probe the corresponding interfaces in real-time during co-sintering process by in situ heating transmission electron microscopy. The in situ observation reveals that the interfacial reaction mechanism and kinetics are highly dependent on the crystal orientation/alignment of cathode and electrolyte particles especially contingent on the availability of open ion channels at the interface. It is shown that the interfaces bearing the open ion paths of NCM such as (104) plane are more susceptible to the interdiffusion even at low temperature, however the early formation of stable passivation layer effectively suppresses the increase in the overall interfacial resistance. On the other hand, the interfaces with the closed ion pathway of NCM such as (003) plane exhibit a relatively high stability up to intermediate temperatures of co-sintering, but deteriorate more rapidly at high temperature as a result of oxygen evolution and decomposition, thereby displaying a higher interfacial resistance. The elucidation of these distinct behaviors of representative interfaces not only deepens our understanding of composite cathodes but also emphasizes the need for decoupling collective interfacial properties to enable rational interfacial design in solid-state batteries.

Objective
This study aims to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness of the interposition and transposition methods in treating hemifacial spasm (HFS) caused by prolonged dilatation of the vertebrobasilar artery (VBD).
Methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis on 102 patients hospitalized between January 2017 and March 2020, diagnosed with VBD-associated HFS. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the surgical method applied: the interposition group (N = 63) and the transposition group (N = 39). Parameters such as general clinical data, intraoperative findings, immediate and long-term postoperative outcomes, as well as complications, were compared between the two groups.
Results
The interposition group showed an immediate postoperative curative ratio of 87.3%, efficacy of 96.8%, and a long-term curative ratio of 98.4%. Conversely, the transposition group exhibited an immediate postoperative curative ratio of 89.7%, efficacy of 97.4%, and a long-term curative ratio of 97.4%. After a three-year follow-up conducted either in outpatient settings or via telephone, the recurrence rates for the interposition and transposition groups were 6.3% and 7.7% respectively. No significant statistical difference was noted between the two groups in terms of immediate curative ratios, efficacy, long-term curative ratios, recurrence ratios, and complications (P > 0.05).
Conclusion
The transposition method emerges as a reliable alternative when the interposition method does not yield satisfactory results in treating HFS caused by VBD, ensuring secure and effective surgical decompression for treating HFS.
Multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma with adenoid cystic features: reporting a rare case.
Authors: Zou xi
Published: February 2024

Multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma with adenoid cystic features (MSCAC) is an uncommon and aggressive malignancy that primarily affects the sinonasal tract. It is characterized by a varied histological appearance, exhibiting similarities to both adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and other sinonasal malignancies. MSCAC presents a diagnostic challenge due to its histological features that overlap with other tumors, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis for appropriate management and prognosis. Here, we present the case of a 49-year-old male with no notable medical history, who presented to the Emergency department with nasal bleeding. A biopsy revealed a tumor displaying a prominent basaloid component, accompanied by high mitotic activity and necrosis, an adenoid cystic-like component, and a non-keratinizing squamous cell component. Immunohistochemistry was performed and supported the diagnosis of multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma with adenoid cystic features. In conclusion, MSCAC is a rare and aggressive malignancy of the sinonasal tract. Its diverse histological appearance and overlapping features with other tumors present diagnostic challenges. This abstract provides an overview of MSCAC, highlighting its clinical presentation, histopathological characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and treatment options. Further research and collaboration among experts are necessary to enhance our understanding of this uncommon malignancy and develop standardized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

With referring to the problem of ears lost during mechanized harvesting in Southwest China, high-speed camera technology was deployed to investigate the rationales underlying the ears flying out of the corn header. It was discovered to be mostly related to the structure of the thrust plate, especially its length and the differential angle when the ears were separated from the thrust plate. The force analysis of the ears which were suspended at the end of the thrust plate at the initial stage of plucking was done based on theoretical analysis, and the length ranges of the thrust plate were ascertained. Depending on an analysis of the kinematics and dynamics of the ears amid plucking, a mathematical model of the variation of the width of the thrust plate concerning the differential angle was established, and 80 mm of the thrust plate width was judged to be ideal. A curved thrust plate that could curtail ears bouncing during the pivoting process was designed to further reduce the thrown-out rate, and the critical structural parameters were scoped out. The effects of the length, the projected length, and the curvature radius of the curved thrust plate on the ear-plucking performance were assessed using a three-factor and five-level orthogonal test in conjunction with DEM simulations, considering the thrown-out rate of ears and the differential angle as the evaluation indexes. Making use of the Central Composite Design, the proper arrangement for the curved thrust plate was ultimately identified to have a curvature radius of 121.9 mm, a projected length of 76.02 mm, and a length of 304.79 mm. The field verification test was initiated confirming an adequate framework of the curved thrust plate. The results revealed that the ears in the pivoting area could be orderly and smoothly plucked into the elevator when the harvester was in operation, and the thrown-out rate was about 1.3%, with a simulation test error of less than 2.5%. It was effectively demonstrated that the optimized curved thrust plate could reduce the rate of ear loss, thus enhancing the operational quality of mechanized corn harvesting.

Published: February 2024

Purpose
Labour is shorter in multiparous women. However, there is no individualized data on differences in duration of labour for consecutive deliveries in the same parturient.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective data analysis from 2004–2021 at the University Hospital of Zurich and included all women with 2 or more vaginal deliveries of a singleton child in cephalic position, between 22 and 42 weeks of gestation. Descriptive statistics were performed with SPSS version 25.0 (IBM, SPSS Inc., USA). The primary endpoint was the ratio between duration of labour stages in consecutive deliveries of the same parturient.
Results
A total of 3344 women with 7242 births (2601 first [P0], 2987 second [P1] and 1176 third [P2]) were included. The active first stage of labour was 51% shorter (95% CI 0.47–0.51, p < 0.001) and the second stage of labour was 74% shorter (95% CI 0.24–0.27, p < 0.001) in P1 compared to P0. Higher birthweight of the first child led to an even greater decrease in duration of the second stage of labour in P1 compared to P0 (p = 0.003). Neuraxial anaesthesia was an independent risk factor for a longer duration of labour, irrespective of parity (p < 0.001). Birthweight and HC of the neonates did not significantly differ between the children born by the same women. However, higher birthweight in of the first child significantly augmented the rate of second stage of labour between P0 and P1 (p = 0.003).
Discussion
Up to the third delivery, duration of labour decreased with each consecutive delivery of the same parturient. An individualized assessment of the expected duration of labour in multiparous women should be encouraged.
