The Contribution of Traditional Agroforestry Systems and Challenges of Adoption by Smallholder Farmers in Ethiopia. A review
Authors: Wondimenh Sewale
Published: January 2023

Agroforestry is a system of land use that incorporates the use of trees with either crops, livestock, or both. In Ethiopia, traditional agroforestry systems such as home gardens, parkland, border planting, woodlots, coffee-based, enset-based, and fruit-based systems have been used. Therefore, the goal of this review study was to gather, arrange, and analyse traditional agroforestry systems’ social, economic, and environmental contributions as well as the factors influencing their uptake. In Ethiopia, traditional agroforestry systems enhanced biodiversity and improved the livelihood of the society by providing cash income, fuelwood, pole, timber, fencing, indigenous medicines and food. Additionally, they increase soil fertility and restore biomass carbon in the range of 12 to 228 Mg ha⁻1. Despite their importance, a variety of factors have prevented farmers from implementing these agroforestry techniques. They include the uncertainty of tenure, the availability of land, the age of the family’s leader, labour, gender, degree of education, access to training, and the availability of water. Therefore, it is important to encourage agroforestry practices in order to increase production, raise soil carbon stocks, and conserve biodiversity. This can be done through offering training, equitable land sharing, and institutional stability

Authors: Páez Moreno Ángel Emiro , Sepúlveda Zamora Luis Antonio , Romero Garzón Ethna Yanira
Published: January 2023

Within the framework of the research project "Information coverage of the Coronavirus in the Colombian digital press", this work was developed to know the state of the art on health emergencies, such as COVID-19, in the context of the media (traditional and digital). This work was developed to know state of the art on health emergencies, such as COVID-19, in the context of the media (both traditional and digital). The search for information was carried out in the Scopus database, using a search strategy through the title or title/abstract. Keywords were obtained from the literature already published on "Health emergencies in media context", using search strings with Boolean AND/OR operators (health AND emergencies AND media). Information retrieval was performed on August 22, 2022. A total of 5,967 studies met the referral criteria for "Healt emergencies in media context". Data were also exported in RIS format for analysis in VOSviewer 1.6.8 software. Although media coverage of health emergencies has been taken as a starting point, this research has gone further, not only because relationships have been found between health emergencies and other platforms, such as social networks, but also because scientific evidence has been detected on the potential that the media can have to curb and even prevent diseases. It was found that scientific production on health emergencies in the context of the media has evolved in the last ten years (2002-2022), with a peak in 2020. It is concluded that the scientific approach to health emergencies in the context of the media demands multidisciplinary work. When the authors' keyword co-occurrence analysis was carried out, four clusters were identified in which the term "human" stood out with close relationships with the words "emergency room", "masculine", "feminine", "elderly", cohort analysis, and hospitalization.

Published: January 2023

Physical inactivity in adolescents can increase the risk of obesity which has the potential of negative impacts onthe physical and psychological health of adolescents. It can also increase the incidence of non-communicablediseases in adulthood. This study aimed to identify the relationship between social determinants and physicalactivity among adolescents with the risk of obesity in rural Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conductedat two senior high schools in rural areas of Indonesia on 134 respondents that were selected by using a simplerandom sampling technique. Data were collected using a demographic data questionnaire and Physical ActivityQuestionnaire-Adolescents (PAQ-A). The results of analysis by using the Chi-square test showed a significantrelationship between parental education and physical activity among adolescents with the risk of obesity (P =0.002). Meanwhile, gender (P = 1.000), parental occupation (P = 0.474), and parental income (P = 0.317) showedthat there was no significant relationship with physical activity among adolescents with the risk of obesity,respectively. It is suggested that the relevant senior high schools collaborate with public health centers to providehealth education for parents of adolescents, especially those with low formal education, about the importance ofphysical activity for adolescents’ health.
Colistin plus meropenem versus colistin alone for invasive infections caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: a rapid systematic review of randomized controlled trials using Bayesian meta-analysis
Authors:   First Division of Infectious Diseases, Cotugno Hospital, AORN dei Colli, Naples, Italy, Maraolo Alberto Enrico , Ong David SY
Published: January 2023

Review question / Objective: What is the benefit stemming from meropenem add-on treatment to colistin against Carbapenem-Resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii? Condition being studied: Invasive infections caused by extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii, specifically carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), are associated with high mortality above 50%, especially in critically ill patients. Often colistin is the only active agent in vitro and, although its safety issues, remains the cornerstone of therapy. Nevertheless, considering the relevant mortality rate when resorting to colistin alone, an intriguing idea is to exploit the potent in vitro synergy of colistin when combined with carbapenems.

Review question / Objective: Which radiological factors associated with incomplete cytoreduction (gross residual disease) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for advanced ovarian cancer? Condition being studied: Findings of CT scan and discussion in the multidisciplinary tumor board meeting (MDO) are crucial to determine the therapeutic strategy for individual ovarian cancer patients. Preferably, patients undergo primary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. However, when complete cytoreduction is not considered feasible, neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy is indicated. In patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), maximal cytoreduction to no gross residual tumor (complete cytoreduction) is known to associated with the best overall survival.

Published: January 2023

A literatura acadêmica brasileira segue a tendência da literatura internacional, a qual tem demonstrado crescente interesse sobre as transformações no sistema capitalista causadas pelas novas tecnologias digitais, sobretudo as plataformas digitais e as tecnologias a elas associadas. Este texto para discussão tem como objetivo sistematizar e analisar o conhecimento sobre plataformas digitais produzido nas universidades brasileiras. Por se tratar de uma área de investigação científica emergente, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado são objetos adequados para captar a efervescência da produção de conhecimento sobre o tema. O mapeamento da produção intelectual foi feito a partir da busca semissistemática de dissertações e teses nos acervos do Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT) e da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes). Identificaram-se, no período 2000-2021, 397 manuscritos. Uma clusterização baseada no método de classificação hierárquica descendente (CHD), utilizando o software IRaMuTeQ a partir dos resumos dos manuscritos, permitiu agrupar o corpus em quatro categorias: i) modelos de negócios; ii) mudanças na comunicação e mídia; iii) transformação das práticas e valores sociais; e iv) convenção das normas e regulações. Observa-se um crescimento da produção científica nacional em todos os clusters, embora com ritmos e fases distintas. O surgimento de novos clusters nos últimos anos pode indicar o espraiamento do sistema de tecnologias digitais para novos âmbitos e um possível amadurecimento do paradigma tecnoeconômico digital. Este levantamento identificou lacunas epistêmicas sobre o tema e pode orientar linhas de investigação promissoras, inclusive para a formulação de políticas públicas sobre o tema.
REAR-END COLLISION ESCAPE ALGORITHM FOR INTELLIGENT VEHICLES SUPPORTED BY VEHICULAR COMMUNICATION
Authors: Bian Chentong , Yin Guodong , Xu Liwei , Zhang Ning
Published: January 2023

To reduce rear-end collision risks and improve traffic safety, a novel rear-end collision escape algorithm is proposed for intelligent vehicles supported by vehicular communication. Numerous research has been carried out on rear-end collision avoidance. Most of these studies focused on maintaining a safe front clearance of a vehicle while only few considered the vehicle’s rear clearance. However, an intelligent vehicle may be collided by a following vehicle due to wrong manoeuvres of an unskilled driver of the following vehicle. Hence, it is essential for an intelligent vehicle to maintain a safe rear clearance when there is potential for a rear-end collision caused by a following vehicle. In this study, a rear-end collision escape algorithm is proposed to prevent rear-end collisions by a following vehicle considering both straight and curved roads. A trajectory planning method is designed according to the motions of the considered intelligent vehicle and the corresponding adjacent vehicles. The successive linearization and the Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms are used to design a motion controller in the proposed algorithm. Simulations were performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm is effective in preventing rear-end collisions caused by a following vehicle.

Nursing Student Errors and Near Misses: Three Years of Data
Authors: Silvestre Josephine Hernandez , Spector Nancy
Published: January 2023

Background:

Understanding the magnitude of errors and near misses in all health care situations is crucial to preventing them from occurring in the future. However, little research is available on the type or extent of nursing student errors in the United States.

Method:

Nursing student error and near miss data were submitted by more than 200 participating prelicensure nursing programs via a secured online repository.

Results:

Medication errors represented more than half (58.8%,
n
= 613) of the total error and near-miss data (
n
= 1,042) submitted. Errors and near misses were attributed to students not adhering to three major patient safety procedures: checking the patient's identification, checking the patient's allergy status, and following the rights of medication administration.

Conclusion:

Results indicate collecting data on nursing students' errors and near misses can help nursing programs identify system issues, promote transparency, and make quality improvements.

Comprehensive operating efficiency measurement of 28 Chinese airports using a two-stage DEA-Tobit method
Authors: Wei Ming , Zhang Shaopeng , Sun Bo
Published: January 2023

This paper presents a two-stage method combining data envelopment analysis (DEA) and a Tobit model to analyze the comprehensive operating efficiency of 28 airports in China in 2016. At the first stage, the DEA-BCC (Banker-Charnes-Cooper) model was employed to obtain the comprehensive operating efficiency of the combination of flight departure punctuality, non-cancellations, landing bridge rates from the perspective of airport infrastructure, surrounding airspace, route layouts, flight volume and weather. At the second stage, a Tobit model was used to analyze the influence of nine input variables from four aspects on obtained comprehensive operating efficiency, ultimately providing a clear and straightforward basis for formulating and testing policies. The comprehensive operating efficiency with this combination was further compared with each of the three efficiencies respectively. The important findings included the following: (1) The comprehensive operation efficiencies of most airports were greater than the individual efficiency; (2) These four types of operation efficiencies for most airports did not achieved DEA validity (100% efficiency), except for six airports (i.e., Haikou, Dalian, Jinan, Fuzhou, Nanning and Lanzhou); (3) These factors affecting each of the four types of operation efficiencies were different in that the number of terminals, duration of impact and average daily inbound and outbound flights had a negative impact on airport operational efficiency, while the average number of overnight aircraft per day and peak hour sorties had positive effects.
Multi-objective optimization model for uncertain crop production under neutrosophic fuzzy environment: A case study
Authors: Kousar Sajida , Sangi Maryam Nazir , Kausar Nasreen , Pamucar Dragan , Ozbilge Ebru , Cagin Tonguc
Published: January 2023

In real world uncertainty exist in almost every problem. Decision-makers are often unable to describe the situation accurately or predict the outcome of potential solutions due to uncertainty. To resolve these complicated situations, which include uncertainty, we use expert descriptive knowledge which can be expressed as fuzzy data. Pakistan, a country with a key geographic and strategic position in South Asia, relies heavily on irrigation for its economy, which involves careful consideration of the limits. A variety of factors can affect yield, including the weather and water availability. Crop productivity from reservoirs and other sources is affected by climate change. The project aims to optimize Kharif and Rabbi crop output in canal-irrigated areas. The optimization model is designed to maximize net profit and crop output during cropping seasons. Canal-connected farmed areas are variables in the crop planning model. Seasonal crop area, crop cultivated area, crop water requirement, canal capacity, reservoir evaporation, minimum and maximum storage, and overflow limits affect the two goals. The uncertainties associated with the entire production planning are incorporated by considering suitable membership functions and solved using the Multi-Objective Neutrosophic Fuzzy Linear Programming Model (MONFLP). For the validity and effectiveness of the technique, the model is tested for the wheat and rice production in Pakistan. The study puts forth the advantages of neutrosophic fuzzy algorithm which has been proposed, and the analyses derived can be stated to deal with yield uncertainty in the neutrosophic environments more effectively by considering the parameters which are prone to abrupt changes characterized by unpredictability.

It is valuable to measure the epidemiological significance of malaria, since there has been a growing interest in reducing malaria through improved local and national health care systems. We formulate the dynamics of malaria infection via a fractional framework to understand the intricate transmission route of malaria and to identify the role of memory for the control of malaria. The model is investigated for basic results, moreover, the basic reproduction number is determined symbolized by $ \mathcal{R}_0 $. We have shown the local stability of the disease-free steady-state of the system for for $ \mathcal{R}_0 < 1 $. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the system are examined. The Adams Bashforth approach in fractional form is applied to analyse the numerical outcomes of the mathematical model. Furthermore, in order to realise more efficiently, the Atangana-Baleanu (ABC) fractional nonlocal operator, which was just invented, is used. The stability of the system is investigated through the fixed-point theorems of Krasnoselskii and Banach. The behaviour of the approximation solution is illustrated in terms of graphs across various fractional values and other factors of the systems. After all, a brief analysis of the simulation's findings is provided to explain how infection transmission dynamics occur in society.
Clones of inductive superpositions of terms

A superposition is an operation of terms by which we substitute each variable within a term with other forms of terms. With more options of terms to be replaced, an inductive superposition is apparently more general than the superposition. This comes with a downside that it does not satisfy the superassociative property on the set of all terms of a given type while the superposition does. A derived base set of terms on which the inductive superposition is superassociative is given in this paper. A clone-like algebraic structure involving such base set and superposition is the main topic of this paper. Generating systems of the clone-like algebra are characterized and it turns out that the algebra is only free with respect to itself under the certain selections of fixed terms concerning its inductive superposition or the specific type of its base set.
Optimal information structures in bilateral trade
Authors: Schottmüller Christoph
Published: January 2023

With the goal of maximizing expected gains from trade, this paper analyzes the jointly optimal information structure and mechanism in a bilateral trade setting. The difference in gains from trade between the optimal information structure and first best constitutes the minimal loss due to asymmetric information. With binary underlying types it is shown that more than 95% of first best can be achieved while the optimal mechanism without information design may achieve less than 90% of first best. For more general type distributions, the optimal information structure is a monotone partition of the type space and the optimal mechanism is deterministic. Necessary conditions for the optimal information structure are derived and a closed form solution is given for the binary type case.
Pervasive signaling

How does the increasing publicness of decisions (due, e.g., to social media) affect the total costs of social signaling distortions? While pervasive signaling may induce pervasive distortions, it may also permit people to signal while distorting each choice to a smaller degree. Ironically, for a broad class of environments, a sufficient increase in the number of signaling opportunities allows senders to “live authentically,” that is, to signal their types at arbitrarily low overall cost. This result survives when social networking technologies expand signaling opportunities and audience size in tandem, provided the returns to the latter are not too great.
On guarantees, vetoes, and random dictators

A mechanism guarantees a certain welfare level to its agents, if each of them can secure that level against unanimously adversarial others. How high can such a guarantee be, and what type of mechanism achieves it?

In the
n‐person probabilistic voting/bargaining model with
p deterministic outcomes a guarantee takes the form of a probability distribution over the ranks from 1 to
p. If
n ≥ 
p, the
uniform lottery is shown to be the only maximal (unimprovable) guarantee. If
n < 
p, combining (variants of) the familiar
random dictator and
voting by veto mechanisms yields a large family of maximal guarantees: it is exhaustive if
n = 2 and almost so if
p ≤ 2
n.

Voting rules à la Condorcet or Borda, even in probabilistic form, are ruled out by our worst case viewpoint.
Developing Diverse Inclusive Classrooms and Educational Environments in Higher Education Graduate Programs
Authors: Zelenka Valerie
Published: January 2023

This chapter focuses on challenges in higher education, including faculty leadership's role in elevating intentional practice in graduate programs, concentrating on developing inclusive higher education educational environments. It offers various perspectives on the changes in United States demographics and examines dialogue as a sustained opportunity for diverse groups of students to learn together. Although this chapter is dedicated to looking at the specifics of graduate programs, the discussions and recommendations are relevant to graduate and undergraduate students and programs. This chapter also looks at institutional change efforts from the level of the individual faculty member, the department or college, to university-wide leadership to ensure diversity in graduate programs in higher education. Lastly, this chapter offers instructive guidance to create campus climates that welcome all students and suggests a path forward for faculty development that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion of underrepresented ethnic minority students.
Action-Based Research

Published: January 2023

Action-based research is an approach used to design studies that seek to both inform and influence practice. The goal of this type of research in the academic arena centers on guiding school improvement to take informed actions. This chapter specifically focuses on action-based research, the process, and the effects the approach has in both P-12 and higher education through the use of two case studies. These case studies show that action-based research can be applied to various settings and age ranges. Theoretical frameworks are provided to endorse ways in which action-based research is an effective hands-on approach aimed towards getting results to improve practices.
Evaluating Intentional Education Practice in Graduate Programs
Authors: El-Amin Abeni
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this chapter was to examine whether the six variables of graduate educational quality predict intentional education practice (IEP) (teaching style) in United States graduate university programs. The issue is that graduate student engagement, student satisfaction, and matriculation diminish without IEP. Consequently, current performance measures of graduate higher educational programs illuminate issues in processes within instruction, quantity of trained instructor mentors, professional support networks, and existing programming, which may need improvement. Indeed, past researchers have noted limitations in higher educational and graduate school environments. Performance measurement variables impact long-term institutional effectiveness and remain largely unknown within educational institutions. However, some studies have noted IEP may be used as a variable to impact teaching effectiveness.
Enhancing Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cell Function and Expansion with Human Selective Serum

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are promising innate-like lymphocytes with potential for use in anti-tumor immunotherapy. Existing MAIT cell expansion protocols are associated with potentially decremental phenotypic changes, including increased frequency of CD4+ MAIT cells and higher inhibitory receptor expression. In this study, we compared the effect on expansion of human MAIT cells of a serum replacement, Physiologix XF SR (Phx), with traditional serum FBS for supplementing RPMI 1640 media. Using flow cytometry, we found that Phx supported a significantly higher proliferative capacity for MAIT cells and resulted in a lower frequency of CD4+ MAIT cells, which have been associated with reduced Th1 effector and cytolytic functions. We saw that culturing MAIT cells in Phx led to better survival of MAIT cells and lower frequency of PD-1+ MAIT cells than FBS-supplemented media. Functionally, we saw that Phx supplementation was associated with a higher frequency of IFN-γ+ MAIT cells after stimulation with Escherichia coli than FBS-supplemented RPMI. In conclusion, we show that MAIT cells cultured in Phx have higher proliferative capacity, lower expression of inhibitory receptors, and higher capacity to produce IFN-γ after E. coli stimulation than FBS-supplemented RPMI. This work shows that expanding MAIT cells with Phx compared with FBS-supplemented RPMI results in a more functionally desirable MAIT cell for future anti-tumor immunotherapy.
