Distribuição estacional e espacial de uma taxocenose de anuros (Amphibia) em uma área antropizada em Rio Acima - MG
Authors: Grandinetti Lucas , Jacobi Claudia M.
Published: December 2022

Habitat modification has been pointed as one of the main causes of population decline and extinction of several species. Studies on communities in disturbed areas are very important for they provide data about the new organization of assemblages, imposed by the intense modification of habitats. An amphibian assemblage (Anura) was studied in an urban area under strong human pressure, 35 km southeast of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais state). Data collection was performed between March/2002 and March/2003, totaling 22 nights of observations. Fourteen species from three families were detected: Bufonidae (1), Leptodactylidae (5) and Hylidae (8). Most species, as well as the largest number of individuals, were recorded during the warm wet months of the year. Habitat use was quite restricted among species, unlike use of substrates. High substrate overlap was observed among hylids, which, besides sharing many types of substrate, occupied the same heights of the vegetation. The largest number of species was recorded on the vegetation at the margins of ponds, considered as the most important substrate for local anurans. Reproductive evidence was recorded for four species. The beginning of the reproductive period of Physalaemus cuvieri and Hyla faber was associated with the beginning of the rainy season, while Bufo crucifer and Scinax longilineus reproduced mostly during the dry months. The variety of habitats occupied and the local species richness, compared to other studies in the region, suggest that the study area, although greatly modified, may be of importance as an ecological corridor.

Published: December 2022

Objective: To compare the effects of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program with and without telecoaching on health-related outcomes in COVID-19 survivors. Methods: A total of 42 COVID-19 patients who completed medical treatment were randomly divided into two groups: the study (telecoaching) group (n = 21) and the control (no telecoaching) group (n = 21). Both groups participated in an 8-week home-based PR program including education, breathing exercises, strength training, and regular walking. The study group received phone calls from a physiotherapist once a week. Both groups of patients were assessed before and after the program by means of the following: pulmonary function tests; the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale; the six-minute walk test; extremity muscle strength measurement; the Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (to assess disease-related quality of life); the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36, to assess overall quality of life); and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results: In both groups, there were significant improvements in the following: FVC; the six-minute walk distance; right and left deltoid muscle strength; Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire activity domain, impact domain, and total scores; and SF-36 social functioning, role-physical, role-emotional, and bodily pain domain scores (p < 0.05). Decreases in daily-life dyspnea, exertional dyspnea, and exertional fatigue were significant in the study group (p < 0.05), and the improvement in SF-36 social functioning domain scores was greater in the study group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: A home-based PR program with telecoaching increases social functioning and decreases daily-life dyspnea, exertional dyspnea, and exertional fatigue in COVID-19 survivors in comparison with a home-based PR program without telecoaching.

Currently, herbs recognition system has become a promising method to identify herbs species. Misuse of herbal medicine can cause serious health problems due to toxicological effects of phytochemical. As a result, a system that able to distinguish the types of herbs is needed. Most herbs recognition systems available in the market are dependent on experts. In this research, the concern is to identify the herbs compounds within the same group species where the physical appearance and aroma are similar. The work mainly focuses on herbs recognition system that intended for researchers and medical practitioners use without the need for experts. Electronic Nose (E-Nose) devices have been used extensively to differentiate and characterize the herb species based on their unique odour. Electrical signal generated from the gas sensor array is one of the physical properties studied. The robustness test of the proposed herbs recognition systems is performed via four classification models based on machine learning algorithm: Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR), and Gaussian Radial Basis Function (RBF) Kernel. The performance of the classification accuracy using KNN shows a better result within the family group from 92.15% to 100% compared to the others method.
Disease Prediction using Deep Learning Algorithms in Healthcare Sector
Authors: Chhillar Rajender Singh
Published: December 2022

Deep Learning (DL) is a major focus of discussion in the healthcare sector. The healthcare sector in the United States generates around one trillion Gigabytes of clinical data annually. With limited resources, manually analyzing these massive amounts of data is a tremendously time-consuming. Finding useful patterns and acquiring knowledge from high-dimensional, poorly annotated, heterogeneous and complex clinical data continues to be a significant challenge in the health care sector. Latest advancements in DL have been shown as an efficacious approach to building end-to-end learning models for disease prognosis and diagnosis. In the past, discovering information from data has been accomplished through the use of conventional Machine Learning (ML) techniques. These techniques first require optimal features to be extracted from clinical data before building a disease predictive model on top of them. Problems with these techniques are that they do not scale properly with the increase in data due to a lack of domain knowledge. Firstly, this chapter explores popular DL algorithms for various types of clinical data. These algorithms can potentially prevent infectious disease, reducing operating costs, and efforts. Finally, the challenges while designing and implementing a holistic DL model have been discussed for disease prediction.

When patients exhibit symptoms clearly indicating abnormalities, healthcare systems can treat them. Diagnoses of intense diseases during the early stages allow patients to be treated, thus reducing their risk. In the absence of treatment, chronic conditions develop, sometimes resulting in death. Diagnosis of intensive diseases causes 59 percent of deaths annually. Medical services is a complex structure, containing a wide range of areas that are challenging to manage with excellent accuracy, while at the same time patients demand reasonable prices. In the medical services industry, fresh innovations are being incorporated. Predictive analytics and data science are changing industries because they can predict.

Innovative Leadership-a Missing Puzzle in the Economic Administration of the Judiciary in the Czech Republic
Authors: Viktora Martin
Published: December 2022

This article dissertation aims to define the role of innovative leadership in the context of other leadership roles in the court’s administration of the Czech Republic and to define its influence on the perception and attitudes of followers. Specifically, these are the roles of accountability, compliance with rules and regulations, political loyalty and network governance. The attitudes of followers are represented by the dimensions of perceived leadership effectiveness, organizational commitment and work engagement. The theoretical model is created verified in the practical part on this basis. Hypotheses are tested using structural modelling. Factor analysis evaluates the data sample; the results are further specified using contextual interviews. The results of data analysis have not supported the hypothesis of a strong influence of the role of accountability on the attitudes of followers in the judicial administration. Unlike other examined leadership roles, the results of data analysis indicate a significant influence of the innovative leadership role on followers’ attitudes and define its function as an essential driver of procedural and organizational changes in the economic section of the Czech courts.
Moving Averages that Preserve the Monotonicity of Quotients
Authors: Estrada Ricardo
Published: December 2022

There are operators that have the property that when applied to both the numerator and the denominator of a monotonic quotient of functions or sequences produce another monotonic quotient. Such operations have been very useful to study several problems, including various types of inequalities. Here we study when moving averages preserve the monotonicity of quotients of sequences and quotients of functions. We give results on the averages that guarantee the preservation of monotonicity and examples where monotonicity is not preserved.

Authors: Trotsyuk D. V. , Zaripova Z. A. , Medvedev D. S. , Volkov A. O.
Published: December 2022

Age-associated processes combined with comorbidity affect the physiological reserves of patients of older age groups, having a negative impact on the surgery and the postoperative period. One of the most important geriatric syndromes, closely related to the treatment outcome in patients over 60, is frailty. The prevalence of frailty increases with age, and that is associated with a worsening of the perioperative prognosis, prolonged hospitalization, and an increase in mortality. The methods widely used for perioperative risk stratification do not take into account the presence and severity of frailty, changes in the functional state and reserve capabilities of the body, which reduces their sensitivity for patients of older age groups. The article considers the generally accepted approaches to risk stratification and identifies further development prospects in this area.

Carbon-based porous materials are widely used as adsorbents due to their high adsorption capacity and unique properties such as large pore size, sizeable area-to-volume ratio, high thermal & electrical conductivity etc., to remove pollutant from water and thus helps in water remediation. Water contamination poses severe impacts on humans as well as on marine life. In this review, we studied porous carbon materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes and activated carbon, including their synthesis, properties and wide applications in water remediation. Absorbent materials at different scales for these applications are auspicious for environmental remediation. This review also provides future endeavors of carbon porous materials towards sustainable techniques for an eco-friendly environment.
A Temperature Trend for Clouds and Hazes in Exoplanet Atmospheres
Authors: Estrela Raissa , Swain Mark R. , Roudier Gael M.
Published: December 2022

The transmission spectra of exoplanet atmospheres observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the near-infrared range (1.1–1.65 μm) frequently show evidence for some combination of clouds and hazes. Identification of systematic trends in exoplanet clouds and hazes is potentially important for understanding atmospheric composition and temperature structure. Here we report on the analysis of spectral modulation using a large, uniformly processed sample of HST/WFC3 transit spectra from 62 exoplanets. The spectral retrieval includes the capability to detect and represent atmospheres in which the composition departs from thermochemical equilibrium. By using this unique catalog and measuring the dampening of spectral modulations compared to strictly clear atmospheres, we identify two populations. One is completely cloud/haze free spanning a wide temperature range, while the other population, identified as “partial cloud/hazes,” follows a trend from mostly cloudy/hazy around 500 K to mostly clear at ∼1500 K. We also find that a partially transparent aerosol component is frequently present and that it is typically vertically distributed throughout the atmospheric column. Our findings also suggest that while clouds and hazes are common in exoplanet atmospheres, the majority of planets have some level of detectable spectral modulation. Additionally, the empirical trend that clouds and hazes are minimized at 1460.86 K

revealed in our catalog has predictive utility for modeling the performance of large-scale transiting exoplanets survey, such as planned with the Ariel mission. This trend can also be used for making a probability-based forecast of spectral modulation for a given source in the context of future JWST observations. Future observations including the optical and/or a broader spectral coverage may be useful to further quantify the trend reported here.
A Potential New Mechanism for the Butterfly Diagram of the Solar Cycle: Latitude-dependent Radial Flux Transport
Authors: Zhang Zebin , Jiang Jie , Zhang Haowei
Published: December 2022

The butterfly diagram of the solar cycle is the equatorward migration of the emergence latitudes of sunspots as the solar cycle evolves. Revealing the mechanism for the butterfly diagram is essential for understanding the solar and stellar dynamo. The equatorward meridional flow at the base of the convection zone (CZ) was believed to be responsible for the butterfly diagram. However, helioseismological studies indicate controversial forms of the flow, and even present poleward flow at the base of the CZ, which poses a big challenge to the widely accepted mechanism. This motivates us to propose a new mechanism in this study. Using a data-driven Babcock–Leighton–type dynamo model, we carry out numerical simulations to explore how the latitude-dependent radial flux transport affects the latitudinal migration of the toroidal field, under different meridional flow profiles. The results indicate that when the radial transport of the poloidal field at higher latitudes is sufficiently faster, the toroidal fields of a new cycle at higher latitudes are generated earlier than that at lower latitudes, and vice versa. Thus, the butterfly diagram is suggested to correspond to the time- and latitude-dependent regeneration of the toroidal field due to the latitude-dependent radial transport of the poloidal flux.
Risk Factors and the Assessment Tools for Subjective Memory Complaints in Asia
Authors: Bashir Izzati Mohd , Subramaniam Ponnusamy , Zaini Shabira ‘Inani Md. , Sharma Shobha
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: As the aged population is growing worldwide, the topic of subjective memory complaints (SMCs) has become a major interest in the current research on cognitive aging and dementia in Asia. SMC’s relation to dementia is of critical relevance as SMCs were suggested as the first subtle indication of cognitive deterioration before the appearance of preclinical dementia and before actual objective cognitive impairment.

AIM: The main questions of this review were to first identify the common risk factors of SMCs in Asia. Second, the assessment tools commonly used in Asia to screen SMCs.

METHODS: This systematic review used four databases; Medline, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science. The literature searches were conducted from 2010 to 2021. The search terms strategy for all databases was “SMCs” AND “mild cognitive impairment (MCI)” OR “cognitive impairment” OR “MCI.” A total of 861 papers were found and extracted using preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses guidelines. After screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 studies were identified for the purpose of the current review.

RESULTS: Of the 15 studies, 14 were cross-sectional and one was longitudinal. The main risk factors of SMCs in Asia were depression and objective cognitive performance. Other risk factors were problems with adaptive daily functioning, self-rated health and pain, sleep, material hardship, childhood socioeconomic status, social and leisure activities, and gender. The majority of tools used to screen SMCs included a close-ended method with questionnaires in their respective country’s first language. To date, there are no SMCs tools that analyze the cultural impact on the SMCs manifestation in Asia.

CONCLUSION: SMCs may be linked to changes in mood and cognition performance. Future studies may consider adopting a longitudinal design and explore quantitative studies as they might also help understand how individuals from various backgrounds manifest their memory difficulties. Besides, further research may consider using both open-ended questions and validated questionnaires to measure SMCs.

Published: December 2022

Neural signatures of working memory have been frequently identified in the spiking activity of different brain areas. However, some studies reported no memory-related change in the spiking activity of the middle temporal (MT) area in the visual cortex. However, recently it was shown that the content of working memory is reflected as an increase in the dimensionality of the average spiking activity of the MT neurons. This study aimed to find the features that can reveal memory-related changes with the help of machine-learning algorithms. In this regard, different linear and nonlinear features were obtained from the neuronal spiking activity during the presence and absence of working memory. To select the optimum features, the Genetic algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Ant Colony Optimization methods were employed. The classification was performed using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifiers. Our results suggest that the deployment of spatial working memory can be perfectly detected from spiking patterns of MT neurons with an accuracy of 99.65±0.12 using the KNN and 99.50±0.26 using the SVM classifiers.

Migrants, parasites et exploitation minière
Authors: Kreimer Pablo , Ferpozzi Hugo , Layna Juan , Medina Leandro Rodríguez
Published: December 2022

Les régions périphériques de la science, telles que les pays d'Amérique latine, ont souvent entretenu des relations complexes avec les centres d'expertise scientifique et technique. Dans ces régions, on espère que les connaissances scientifiques contribuent à la résolution de problèmes publics, alors que, dans le même temps, elles doivent satisfaire aux exigences des domaines et institutions de recherche dominants situés dans les centres hégémoniques. Cet article explore la dynamique par laquelle les acteurs locaux développent des stratégies (telles que l'établissement de liens avec des centres d'expertise technique et scientifique) pour légitimer leur position sur le plan local et devenir les porte-parole des questions publiques locales en jeu. Dans le but de comprendre le rôle de ces acteurs locaux dans la mise en place des questions publiques, nous analysons trois études de cas qui incluent les controverses récentes dans les études sur les migrations, la recherche sur les maladies tropicales et les enquêtes sur la pollution minière dans les pays d'Amérique latine. Cette analyse révèle que les questions publiques locales - ainsi que la gamme d'interventions conçues pour y répondre - sont définies par quelques acteurs qui agissent comme médiateurs entre les agents locaux et leurs partenaires internationaux. Grâce à leurs liens avec les centres mondiaux d'expertise scientifique et technique, ces « drivers » - généralement, mais pas exclusivement, des scientifiques d'élite ayant des liens internationaux - parviennent à mobiliser les connaissances et les ressources nécessaires pour coproduire les schémas cognitifs et politiques des questions en jeu. Toutefois, la dépendance des drivers à l'égard des centres mondiaux en termes de ressources matérielles et de légitimation, ainsi que l'absence de participation publique généralisée dans les régions périphériques, fait que les questions publiques locales sont abordées de manière discursive, plutôt qu'efficace, aussi bien par la science que par la politique.
Ecologías y promesas del giro microbiano

Este número de la Revue d’Anthropologie des Connaissances cuestiona y pone en perspectiva la noción de «giro microbiano», surgida recientemente en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales de los microbios y, a nivel más amplio, en los estudios multiespecíficos. Tras recordar su definición y las nociones asociadas, esta introducción las aborda en el contexto de tradiciones olvidadas en las ciencias naturales y de una literatura más amplia de las ciencias sociales. Esto permite, por un lado, movilizar de nuevo una variedad de narrativas y enfoques de las relaciones entre los seres humanos y los microbios que preceden a este llamado «giro» y, por otro lado, subrayar puntos de vigilancia respecto a las promesas que lo acompañan. Relativizar la novedad y las promesas de este «giro» no pretende descalificar este concepto, sino resituarlo dentro de infraestructuras más amplias de prácticas y conocimientos, para proponer una continuación atenta a las condiciones y consecuencias políticas de este giro.
Régimes de sélection microbienne
Authors: Tancoigne Élise
Published: December 2022

Les récits portant sur la construction de la perte de biodiversité comme un problème public ont jusqu’à présent porté sur la biodiversité animale ou végétale, laissant dans l’ombre celle des microorganismes. Dans cet article, je propose de rendre compte de la façon dont une perte de biodiversité microbienne a émergé au milieu des années 1970 comme problème professionnel dans le milieu laitier. Je m’appuierai pour cela sur la notion de régime de sélection, qui permet d’analyser l’évolution des modes d’accès et de gestion de la diversité des ressources agricoles. Une analyse de la littérature me permettra tout d’abord de distinguer deux régimes de sélection, que je nommerai environnemental et moderniste. Je montrerai ensuite comment la perte de biodiversité microbienne qui a émergé au milieu des années 1970 dans le milieu laitier a contribué à faire apparaître un nouveau régime de sélection, que je nommerai territorial. Je montrerai enfin que ces différents régimes coexistent aujourd’hui de manière très asymétrique.01 septembre 2021
« Se protéger ou périr »
Authors: Bronnikova Olga , Zaytseva Anna
Published: December 2022

Cet article propose une analyse de la résistance et de l’adaptation des militants des ONG de défense des droits humains et des journalistes indépendants à la progressive souverainisation de l’Internet en Russie. Nous cherchons à comprendre comment évoluent les représentations et les pratiques de sécurité numérique de ces acteurs, ainsi que le rôle joué dans ces redéfinitions par les experts en sécurité numérique. Nous montrerons comment et en quoi l’écosystème des formations en sécurité numérique tel qu’il s’est formé depuis les années 2010 se trouve perturbé sous l’effet dissociatif des mesures stigmatisantes et répressives des autorités russes. Dépassant leur attitude ordinaire vis-à-vis de la sécurité (dont l’extrême se résume par un « je n’ai rien à cacher ») ces militants, aidés par leurs formateurs, sont amenés à une prise de conscience, moyennant une série d’incidents parfois traumatisants, d’un danger plus réel que jamais émanant des autorités russes. Face à de nouveaux défis, notamment liés aux classements stigmatisants en tant qu’ « agent de l’étranger » ou « organisation indésirable », ainsi qu’à l’exil massif, les pratiques de sécurité se réorganisent, des outils autrefois considérés comme fiables sont mis en doute. Des débats, quant à l’anonymat et au recueil de données, animent des communautés en voie de reconstitution.
Relationship Between Government Funding Supports and Innovation Performance of Latecomer Firms
Authors: Wang Haoyu
Published: December 2022

As an important component of enterprise external environment, government funding supports play a significant role in the innovation of latecomer firms. Therefore, the support methods adopted by the government during the innovation and catching-up of latecomer firms should be extracted in this chapter to clarify the internal relationship between the intermediate mechanism and innovation performance affecting the performance of latecomer firms. It is useful for activating the new energy and motivation of latecomer firms, and it could be a scientific decision-making reference for the government to formulate relevant public policies.
An Assessment of Diversity From Senior Healthcare Executives
Authors: Howard Diane M. , Enard Kimberly
Published: December 2022

The National Association of Health Services Executives and Deloitte Consulting administered a survey to assess the status of diversity, equity, and inclusion in March 2021 following social unrest in the United States. One-hundred and five NAHSE members responded to the topics on personal experience working in healthcare, organizational priorities and strategies in DEI, and opportunities in career advancement. A follow-up webinar in February 2022 with 211 participants explored compliance, accountability, and sustainability of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Sixty-seven percent stated there was no measurement in determining achievement of DEI goals. One-third of respondents stated there was no accountability if DEI goals were not achieved. The good news was that 53% of respondents thought the DEI initiatives developed at their organization would be sustained.

The diversity and inclusion initiatives at a Chicago academic medical center are reviewed in the context of its activities over 15 years. The team of leaders discuss how the diversity initiatives were introduced and the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of pursuing diversity, equity, and inclusion, as staff move in and out of the organization. Five employee resource groups and initiatives that serve as the backbone of the DEI initiatives are discussed including Rush community service initiatives program, Americans with Disabilities, business diversity, Women's Leadership, and LGBTQ programming.
Analysis of Metaverse Technology
Authors: Caglar Ersin
Published: December 2022

Humanity has entered a new digitalization formation with the invention of the computer. The formation of digitalization has passed through many phases, but even today it shows its effect to a great extent. The establishment of network connections and provision of the internet for the use of humanity, wireless network connections, cloud computing, and cryptocurrencies comes at the very beginning of these phases. Today, the formation of digitalization has taken on a completely different concept from the metaverse and has taken the whole world under its influence. This chapter would provide detailed information about the metaverse universe with an overview on its advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, the possibility of taking the role of the real world will be evaluated by comparing the metaverse universe with the real world.
Adoption of Metaverse in South East Asia
Authors: Julian Hock Leong Chan , Chung Tinfah , Wang Yuyang
Published: December 2022

Despite massive support for blockchain startups, countries in Southeast Asia have yet to fully launch themselves into metaverse. The appeal of playing lucrative crypto games such as Axie Infinity, where active players can earn up to US$15 per day, may provide these countries the incentive to kickstart many of the business opportunities in metaverse gaming. Metaverse is a potential hype. The international audience has started riding on the back of metaverse's success. Countries in Southeast Asia (SEA) are at with their respective development within the metaverse space. It is important to recognise the level of development of metaverse in these countries. Among those who felt negative about the Metaverse, the most common reason was their concerns about data security and privacy. This research intends to understand the development of metaverse in countries in SEA – Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia. Through understanding the development of metaverse in these countries, these countries can properly position themselves to reap the most benefit out of this hype.
Smart City and Digital Twins
Authors: Giaveno Sara
Published: December 2022

The chapter proposed aims at facing the various implications underlying the smart city concept based on digital twins. The structure of the text is articulated in three main themes: the use of the term “smart city” and the role that technologies had in its definition; the “3D city model” meaning and the integration procedures between BIM (building information modeling) and GIS (geographic information system); the classification of 3D city models by use cases. The chapter can provide researchers with a detailed dissertation aimed at clarifying both the theoretical and technical features belonging to smart city and its related innovative technologies.
Unified Modeling for Emulating Electric Energy Systems
Authors: Ilic Marija , Jaddivada Rupamathi , Gebremedhin Assefaw
Published: December 2022

Large-scale computing, including machine learning (MI) and AI, offer a great promise in enabling sustainability and resiliency of electric energy systems. At present, however, there is no standardized framework for systematic modeling and simulation of system response over time to different continuous- and discrete-time events and/or changes in equipment status. As a result, there is generally a poor understanding of the effects of candidate technologies on the quality and cost of electric energy services. In this chapter, the authors discuss a unified, physically intuitive multi-layered modeling of system components and their mutual dynamic interactions. The fundamental concept underlying this modeling is the notion of interaction variables whose definition directly lends itself to capturing modular structure needed to manage complexity. As a direct result, the same modeling approach defines an information exchange structure between different system layers, and hence can be used to establish structure for the design of a dedicated computational architecture, including AI methods.
The Integration of 3D Survey Technologies for an Accurate Reality-Based Representation
Authors: Bolognesi Cecilia Maria , Fiorillo Fausta
Published: December 2022

The integration of close-range photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanner enables reality-based modeling procedures that can help BIM modeling for existing buildings. The restitution of virtual models from high-resolution surveys is a complex process that requires much expertise. It incorporates concepts of resolution, accuracy, and precision in the acquisition phase; filtering, registration, and decimation for point cloud elaboration; and meshing, texturing, simplification, segmentation, and feature extraction in the final modeling stage. The previous steps are the same whether the ultimate goal is a classic 2D representation or a 3D one. For BIM modeling, the job becomes challenging because the necessary simplification of the model cannot be automatized and apparently collides with the high resolution and fidelity of original surveyed data. This chapter presents the process of surveying and 3D modeling of the Ghesc village, following the whole path from data acquisition to BIM modeling, discussing strengths and weakness, issues, and recent solutions for restoration interventions.
