Design, simulation, and experiment for the end effector of a spherical fruit picking robot
Authors: Li Ziyue , Yuan Xianju , Yang Zhanpeng
Published: November 2023

The end effector characterizing a flipping–cutting way is designed firstly for picking spherical fruits with a good universality, which is mainly composed of three parts such as a clamping mechanism, a flipping mechanism, and a cutting mechanism. Subsequently, the kinematics simulation for the clamping mechanism, flipping mechanism, and cutting mechanism will be implemented by mathematical models and the ADAMS software, and results reflected through them are consistent with each other, thus presenting the feasibility of the structural scheme and two models. On the basis of scheme and results of models, the sample of the end effector is manufactured. Finally, picking experiments in a lab will be also conducted in view of diverse indexes, such as the successful grabbing action, flipping–cutting action, flipping–breaking action, average fruit picking time, success rate, and damage rate. It is drawn from experimental results that the success rate of grabbing is 100%, and a success rate for picking is over 80%. An average picking time is about 9.6s, and very few fruits are damaged. Therefore, such a scheme is feasible, further presenting a good reference for designing the entire robot in a field of picking diverse spherical fruits.
An Auditory Sonic Sleep Treatment for Individuals Living With Dementia in a Memory Care Setting: A Quality Improvement Program Evaluation
Authors: Abushousheh Addie , Taylor Ellen , Brondino Michael J.
Published: November 2023

Background:

The absence of a cure for dementia, combined with the increased longevity of the baby boom generation, is resulting in a dramatic increase in the number of people living with dementia. Aging-related changes coupled with dementia-related behavioral symptoms pose unique challenges for those living with dementia as well as those who provide care. There is evidence that improved sleep can improve health and well-being. Research also supports using auditory interventions as a form of nonpharmacological therapy.

Objective:

This study evaluated the effects of a customized auditory (sonic) treatment during sleep on the mood, behavior, quality of life, functional ability, and health condition of individuals living with the symptoms of dementia. Workforce outcomes were evaluated as a secondary outcome.

Methods:

A controlled before–after design with a mixed-method approach was used to evaluate the impact of the sonic sleep treatment during baseline, intervention, and discontinuation time frames.

Results:

Statistically significant improvements were observed in participants’ cooperation with care ( p = .0249) and daytime drowsiness ( p = .0104). Other nonstatistically significant improvements included bed mobility, appetite, bathing self-performance, toilet use, incidence of falls, following requests and instructions, and nighttime insomnia. While workforce outcomes remained unchanged, staff were supportive of resuming the sonic sleep treatment after the discontinuation time frame.

Conclusions:

The sonic sleep treatment demonstrated improved outcomes for individuals living with dementia. This supports using an appropriate auditory stimulus as a fundamental component of care for individuals living in memory care settings.
Reimagining America’s Rural Health: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Pati Debajyoti , Sheykhmaleki Pariya , Chilaka Daphne A. U.
Published: November 2023

Objectives:

The objective of this inquiry was to identify (a) rural health challenges in the United States, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and (b) to identify opportunities within the disruptions caused by the pandemic.

Background:

Rural healthcare challenges in the United States are not the same as those faced in urban and suburban communities. Nor are rural hospitals a miniature version of larger urban hospitals. Urban healthcare and hospital-centric policies and solutions, hence, do not help address or optimize the unique health challenges of rural communities. Furthermore, the challenges previously faced by rural hospitals were further exacerbated by COVID-19.

Methods:

Key points from public deliberations among experts in a 1-day symposium on rural health, attended by 65 professionals representing 18 west Texas institutions, were captured by the authors. The data were subsequently analyzed to identify common areas of information.

Findings:

Four clusters of challenges and opportunities were identified: healthcare delivery, healthcare infrastructure/building, community health, and public administration.

Conclusions:

Symposium data suggest that rural health faced numerous unique challenges, which were further compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the pandemic also helped discover the resiliency of clinicians working in rural areas. For rural health optimization, rural health buildings also need to be flexible. While funds are not easily available, some innovative community collaborations with healthcare institutions may generate novel solutions. In the meantime, telemedicine promises a radical change in rural community health services in the future.

Authors: Pourianzhad Farhad , Sattarnejad Saeid , Parvin Samad
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this article is to investigate the role of the Mongol Il-khanate in the spread of Buddhism in Iran. The centre of this government was located in the north-western region of Iran, and traces of the Mongol Il-khanate have remained in this region. The article traces Buddhist cave temples in the north-western region of Iran, viz., Maragheh and Zanjan. It offers reports on the sites of Imamzadeh Ma‘sum, Pirhashem, Kohul Machid and Qirkh Kohul in Maragheh and Dashkasan Temple in Zanjan. Then, references to Buddhism in the historical sources of the Il-khanate period, have been traced. Buddhist cave-cut structures were abandoned or altered for other use, after the acceptance of Islam by the Il-khanate rulers, beginning with Ghazan Khan.

Published: November 2023

Background

The EVITE Immunity study investigated the effects of shielding Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV) people during the COVID-19 pandemic on health outcomes and healthcare costs in Wales, United Kingdom, to help prepare for future pandemics. Shielding was intended to protect those at highest risk of serious harm from COVID-19. We report the cost of implementing shielding in Wales.

Methods

The number of people shielding was extracted from the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage Databank. Resources supporting shielding between March and June 2020 were mapped using published reports, web pages, freedom of information requests to Welsh Government and personal communications (e.g. with the office of the Chief Medical Officer for Wales).

Results

At the beginning of shielding, 117,415 people were on the shielding list. The total additional cost to support those advised to stay home during the initial 14 weeks of the pandemic was £13,307,654 (£113 per person shielded). This included the new resources required to compile the shielding list, inform CEV people of the shielding intervention and provide medicine and food deliveries. The list was adjusted weekly over the 3-month period (130,000 people identified by June 2020). Therefore the cost per person shielded lies between £102 and £113 per person.

Conclusion

This is the first evaluation of the cost of the measures put in place to support those identified to shield in Wales. However, no data on opportunity cost was available. The true costs of shielding including its budget impact and opportunity costs need to be investigated to decide whether shielding is a worthwhile policy for future health emergencies.

Published: November 2023

Background

Reducing the costs of biorefinery processes is a crucial step in replacing petrochemical products by sustainable, biotechnological alternatives. Substrate costs and downstream processing present large potential for improvement of cost efficiency. The implementation of in situ adsorption as an energy-efficient product recovery method can reduce costs in both areas. While selective product separation is possible at ambient conditions, yield-limiting effects, as for example product inhibition, can be reduced in an integrated process.

Results

An in situ adsorption process was integrated into the production of itaconic acid with Ustilago cynodontis IAmax, as an example of a promising biorefinery process. A suitable feed strategy was developed to enable efficient production and selective recovery of itaconic acid by maintaining optimal glucose concentrations. Online monitoring via Raman spectroscopy was implemented to enable a first process control and understand the interactions of metabolites with the adsorbent. In the final, integrated bioprocess, yield, titre, and space–time yield of the fermentation process were increased to values of 0.41 gIA/gGlucose, 126.5 gIA/L and 0.52 gIA/L/h. This corresponds to an increase of up to 30% in comparison to the first extended batch experiment without in situ product removal. Itaconic acid was recovered with a purity of at least 95% and high concentrations above 300 g/L in the eluate.

Conclusion

Integration of product separation via adsorption into the bioprocess was successfully conducted and improved the efficiency of itaconic acid production. Raman spectroscopy was proven to be a reliable tool for online monitoring of various metabolites and facilitated design and validation of the complex separation and feed process. The general process concept can be transferred to the production of various similar bioproducts, expanding the tool kit for design of innovative biorefinery processes.

Published: November 2023

Background

Mpox, previously known as monkeypox, -is an orthopoxvirus infection of the skin and previously a public health emergency of international concern. It reemerged in Nigeria over 5 years ago and has since spread to other parts of the world. This is a case report of a confirmed patient who was managed at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua, Edo State, Nigeria before the global surge. This report shows peculiar differences from previous patients managed at the same center in terms of the relatively prolonged eruptive phase, possible seasonal occurrence of mpox in the community, and some traditional care for mpox and skin rashes. It also corroborates previous reports of possible sexual transmission of mpox in Nigeria before the report from the global outbreak.

Case presentation

The patient is a 30-year-old Nigerian male artisan with a 2-month history of raised rashes on the body that started on the genitals then involved other parts of the body. There was history of sore throat and unprotected sex with a female partner with similar rash whose other sexual history could not be ascertained. There was also history of “seasonal” rash in his village for about 7 years prior to his symptoms. Examination showed multiple vesicles and some nodules (ulcerating, healing, and healed) on the face, trunk, limbs, gluteal region, scrotum, palms, and sole, an almost circumferential penile ulcer, and lymphadenopathy. Polymerase chain reaction skin samples sent for mpox returned positive, while retroviral and coronavirus disease 2019 screenings were negative. He was managed in isolation while contact tracing in the affected community was initiated.

Conclusion

Atypical presentations of mpox, as managed in Irrua before the global surge, emphasize the varied spectrum of presentations (typical and atypical) in Nigeria. Therefore, there is a need for a higher index of suspicion for the uncommon presentations which will strengthen case recognition, case management, and community-based interventions as well as surveillance in the prevention and control of mpox in Irrua, its environs, Nigeria, and the world.

Data security is highly vital and crucial for every organization, regardless of size of organization—whether it it is a small scale organization, medium scale organization, or large scale organization. This applies to the both inside and outside the organization. The essential prerequisite for anyone's confidence and trust in any organization is data security. In day to day life human generates various data in different formats like text data, graphical data, voice data, video data etc. using various medium like youtube, twitter, facebook, instragram, emails etc. These data may be a structural data, may be a semi structural data or may be an unstructured data. In today’s life all the data which are generated is generally huge in size which we termed as big data. To handle this big data is very difficult task. Cloud computing is one of the technique which can handle this very well. But the main fact is that there are various challenges to both of these technologies. One of the biggest challenges is to provide security to this kind of data. There are various research has been done and still going on to address this issue effectively. In this paper we have also tried to address this issue after doing exhaustive literature work then we provide our own AVJ security algorithm which can provide security to text data.

Hot-Melt Extrusion (HME) Is Advanced Approach for Development of Solid Self Emulsifying Drug Delivery System
Authors: Jamil Shahid , Sadeq Tariq Waece , Samad Abdul
Published: November 2023

The pharmaceutical industry is paying more and more attention to hot-melt extrusion (HME), but this technology's promise for creating solid self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SMEDDS) has not yet been fully realized. The numerous published publications over the past five years show that hot melt extrusion (HME) technology is increasingly being used for novel applications. Because it has low-cost scale-up capabilities and process automation, which reduce labour costs and capital expenditure. HME has become a crucial technique for pharmaceutical manufacturing and research applications involving drug delivery. In the development of new drug delivery systems, the novel use of the HME method offers a promising alternate strategy. Through a discussion of pertinent case studies, the current review examines the value of HME in the creation of innovative drug delivery systems.

Published: November 2023

The other comprehensive income as an equity component is a fundamental part of the financial information with the application of international accounting standards. The main objective of this article was to analyse the financial effects of other comprehensive income in SMEs in Medellín - Colombia. To meet this objective, a methodology was used that included the selection of a representative sample of 137 companies classified as SMEs from a total population of 16,553 business registers. In addition, an instrument designed to analyse the financial effects of other comprehensive income in this type of company was applied.The results of the study indicate that one of the effects of ORI on the financial statements is the conception of realised and unrealised income and expenses and their immediate and future effect on the financial life of the company, thus, ORI items represent movement in equity that do not derive from transactions with partners or shareholders; they affect the statements of changes in equity and comprehensive income. Likewise, ORI impacts financial indicators related to solvency, profitability, indebtedness as indebtedness over total assets, debt concentration, leverage indebtedness. The analysis of the results allows us to conclude that the implementation of the ORI in SMEs in Medellín brings key benefits. Among these, the improvement in transparency stands out, as it provides detailed information on items that were not traditionally included in the income statement. This increased transparency is of great importance, as it contributes significantly to building confidence among investors and stakeholders, strengthening the perception of SMEs' financial operations. The inclusion of ORI in financial reporting has a positive impact on informed decision-making by SMEs in Medellín. This is because it allows SMEs to provide investors and managers with a more complete and accurate view of their financial performance. This improved information becomes a strategy that empowers SMEs to adjust their operations as needed, thus ensuring their long-term sustainability.

Reconstruction-based stacked sparse auto-encoder for nonlinear industrial process fault diagnosis
Authors: Weng Qihang , Ren Shaojun , Zhu Baoyu , Jin Yinfeng , Si Fengqi
Published: November 2023

The reconstruction-based (RB) approach can effectively suppress the misdiagnosis problem due to the smearing effect in fault isolation. However, the current exploration of the RB approach for large-scale nonlinear systems is still limited. Therefore, this paper proposes a reliable and effective fault diagnosis method based on a reconstruction-based stacked sparse autoencoder (RBSSAE) for high-dimensional industrial systems. In RBSSAE, a reconstruction-based index achieved by the Steffensen iterative method is developed to check whether the given variable(s) are responsible for the faults efficiently. However, the number of possible faulty variable combinations grows exponentially with the system dimension or actual abnormal variables, causing an unbearable computational burden. Hence, the proposed RBSSAE utilizes a sequential floating forward selection approach to rapidly isolate the most decisive variable combination, meeting a requirement of online fault diagnosis. Finally, the effectiveness of the RBSSAE is verified on a numerical example and a real industrial case.

Published: November 2023

This research aims to analyze the relationship between cross-organizational support and the effectiveness of empowerment programs in the Bulukumba, Bone, and Makassar regions. Using a qualitative method, the research was conducted from August to December 2022, with a focus on three pilot villages in South Sulawesi. With 15 key informants selected through purposive sampling, data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations. Data analysis involved stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification.The results of this research reveal the importance of integrating physical, human, and social capital in community empowerment. It was found that the implementation of the program faced challenges in integrating these three capitals, often due to limitations in human resources and coordination among institutions. The Indonesia Juara program, which aims to develop an integrated empowerment model, encountered difficulties in applying these principles in the field. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance of the Pentahelix concept, which involves government, academia, business, communities, and media, in community empowerment. However, it was found that Pentahelix collaboration is still not optimal in practice, especially in the context of the Indonesia Juara program. Collaborative leadership is needed to enhance the effectiveness of this program by effectively integrating various stakeholders in empowerment efforts. It is recommended to promote stronger cooperation between Ministries/Institutions and Regional Device Organizations (OPD) to ensure program effectiveness and efficiency. Collaborative leadership is required to effectively integrate various stakeholders.

This research aims to analyze the factors that influence the demand and supply of chicken eggs in South Sulawesi. The research method used was a literature study with data sourced from Central Statistics Agency data and other sources in the form of scientific journals, scientific articles, and other valid information from print and digital media. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis techniques. Based on the data obtained, it is known that the development of the purebred chicken population and demand for chicken eggs in South Sulawesi from 2018-2022 fluctuates and tends to increase. along with population growth in South Sulawesi. The production of purebred chicken eggs in South Sulawesi over the last 5 years has fluctuated. The number of egg production increased significantly by 38% from 2018 to 2019 and decreased in 2020 and 2021. Then the number of egg production increased again by 6.49% from 2021 to 2022. This happened because consumer demand for purebred chicken eggs increased. Thus, it can be said that people need purebred chicken eggs to meet their needs for animal protein sources. Factors that influence the demand and supply of broiler eggs in South Sulawesi are fluctuating egg prices, producer profits, raw materials (feed and seeds), demand, and disease outbreaks.

Neurological diseases are disorders of the nervous system that gradually destroy the structure and function of the central or peripheral nervous system, affecting various parts of the brain. It affects a great number of individuals globally and is one of the main causes of death. Many disorders, particularly neurological diseases that have resisted conventional medical treatment have been treated with plant-based medications. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are two of the most common neurological disorders (NDDs) and have a significant socioeconomic impact. Over many ages, people have looked to natural herbal remedies for a solution for non-divertic disorders. Numerous therapeutic plants and their secondary metabolites have been shown to be able to reduce the symptoms of NDDs. The main mechanisms that have been found to underpin phytochemicals' neuroprotective effects and potential to maintain neurological health as we age include inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antiapoptotic properties, as well as neurotrophic activities. This article examines the molecular targets of some of the main herbal products that have the potential to cure non-communicable diseases (NDDs). Numerous investigations proved that plant extracts or their bioactive components were effective against non-disease-causing bacteria. Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from age-related NDDs, and herbal products may provide new avenues for therapy.

Published: November 2023

Secondary traumatic stress is an important issue that indirectly affects the mental health professionals. This research was conducted to examine the relationship between secondary traumatization, occupational burnout, and compassion fatigue among mental health workers. In line with this aim, a study was carried out using a relational screening method, employing a Semi-Structured Interview Form, Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Compassion Fatigue Scale. The study involved a total of 400 mental health professionals, comprising 298 females (74.5%) and 102 males (25.5%) aged between 24 and 65 years. The findings revealed that the avoidance, arousal, and emotional violation sub-dimensions of secondary traumatic stress significantly predicted occupational burnout, explaining 37% of the variance in the outcome variable. It was observed that the arousal and emotional violation sub-dimensions of secondary traumatic stress were not significant predictors for compassion fatigue. However, the avoidance sub-dimension significantly predicted compassion fatigue, explaining 12% of the variance in the outcome variable. The study highlighted that engaging with traumatized individuals indirectly posed a risk for professions providing mental health services due to the impact on their well-being.

Mancozeb, a di-thiocarbamate fungicide, is widely used in agricultural practices for the control of parasitic fungi and their spores. The present study investigates the blood antioxidant profile of rats following subacute oral mancozeb exposure and the ameliorative effect of aqueous and methanolic extracts of Tridax procumbens on mancozeb induced toxicity in rats. 36 wistar rats were divided into 6 groups of 6 animals, each (Control, Mancozeb (@500mg/kg) treatment group, Tridax aqueous extract (@300mg/kg) group, Tridax methanol extract (@300mg/kg) group, Tridax aq extract + Mancozeb group and Tridax met extract + mancozeb group. The rats received the fungicide and the different extracts of the plant orally for 28 consecutive days, except the control group. Subacute mancozeb exposure significantly elevated the oxidative stress marker LPO. The altered antioxidant status was evident from the depleting blood glutathione levels, significant elevation in enzymic antioxidant parameters (Catalase, GST, G6PD) and simultaneous decrease in enzymes like SOD, GPxand GR. Supplementation of Tridax aq. extract and Tridax met. extract @ 300 mg/kg per day for 28 days in mancozeb intoxicated rats had a beneficial effect on the overall antioxidant profile of the animals as witnessed by no significant alteration in LPO, blood glutathione levels and activities of various antioxidant enzymes viz. GST, GR, SOD, CAT and G6PD. Therefore, the results of the present study suggest that mancozeb administration induces pronounced oxidative stress in the rats and aqueous and methanolic extract of Tridax procumbens have mild to moderate ameliorative effect in the treated rats.
