Development and assessment of a methodology for abstraction of topology optimization results to enable the substitution of optimized beams
Authors: Röver Tim , Bader Maximilian , Asami Karim , Emmelmann Claus , Kelbassa Ingomar
Published: November 2023

Improving mechanical topology optimization (TO) results by substituting biomimetic beams is one possibility to achieve designs of mechanical components that are highly sustainable and show good mechanical performance. Because of their geometric complexity, such designs were found to be well-suited for production by laser additive manufacturing. One obstacle of incorporating biomimetics beams in TO designs is the lack of detailed design methodologies. Röver et al. [“Methodology for integrating biomimetic beams in abstracted topology optimization results,” in Proceedings of the ASME 2022 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. Volume 4: Biomedical and Biotechnology; Design, Systems, and Complexity Columbus, OH, 30 October–3 November (ASME, New York, 2022)] proposed a corresponding design concept. Building on their concept, we present in this work a detailed methodology for abstraction of TO results to a design consisting of ball nodes and cylindrical beams. Using such an auxiliary design, the internal forces and moments of the beams can be evaluated to allow for the substitution of suitable biomimetic beams to generate biomimetic component designs in a next step. We present a skeletonization algorithm based on the potential field approach. Using the skeletonization and an additional analysis of the dimensions of the beams in the TO result, the algorithm develops an auxiliary design of the original TO result. The final algorithm was applied to three common TO results to obtain one auxiliary component design each. The developed algorithm was found to generate abstractions that were well-suited for use in the methodology proposed in Röver et al. [“Methodology for integrating biomimetic beams in abstracted topology optimization results,” in Proceedings of the ASME 2022 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. Volume 4: Biomedical and Biotechnology; Design, Systems, and Complexity Columbus, OH, 30 October–3 November (ASME, New York, 2022)], because internal forces and moments in the abstracted beams could be evaluated with less effort. Therefore, our work contributes to a detailed design methodology for biomimetic mechanical components in the field of design for additive manufacturing.
A Review on the Biological Control of Common Ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia (Asteraceae)
Authors: Zhong-Shi ZHOU
Published: November 2023

Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is an annual in the Asteraceae that is broadly distributed in most temperate regions of the world. Since it is both extremely competitive and has allergenic pollens, common ragweed presents problems to agricultural production and public health. Currently, over 450 species of natural enemies of ragweed have been discovered, among which the leaf beetle Zygogramma suturalis (Chrysomelidae) and the moth Epiblema strenuana (Tortricidae)have been the two most effective species for ragweed suppression. In addition, in China outstanding control has been provided by the leaf beetle Ophraella communa. The complementary use of O. communa and E. strenuana has also been tested in southern China to good effect on A. artemisiifolia. In addition, several pathogens have been considered as potential biological control agents of common ragweed. This paper mainly introduces common ragweed, considers its negative effects, and reviews the history and current achievements of common ragweed biological control.
Bee Diversity in an Peri-Urban Patch of “Restinga”
Authors: Araújo Vinícius Albano
Published: November 2023

Bees gather food resources from angiosperm flowers, promoting pollination, cross-breeding, and increasing the genetic variability of many plant species. However, all over the world there has been a great decline in bee populations, with the most accepted hypotheses being the loss of habitat caused by urbanization, fungal contamination and pesticide residues. The collapse of bee colonies can unbalance ecosystems causing a reduction in plant abundance and directly impacting the agricultural economy. Peri-urban paths are considered refuges capable of sheltering part of the biodiversity, including communities of pollinators such as bees. On the Brazilian Atlantic coast, restinga ecosystems are fragmented and their remnants are threatened by anthropic actions and real estate speculation. In this work, the bee fauna was inventoried in a peri-urban patch of “restinga” in the Municipal Natural Park of Barreto’s Restinga in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the objective of understanding the structure of the bee community and its relationship with the availability of floral resources and seasonality. Collections were carried out monthly between February 2019 and February 2020. The methods included active collections with entomological nets between 08:00 and 17:00 hours. 363 individuals belonging to 31 bee species were sampled. The most abundant genera were Xylocopa, Eulaema and Eufriesia, with the highest richness and abundance during the summer. There was a significant relationship between the availability of floral resources and the richness and abundance of bees. There was also a positive relationship between bee richness and rainfall. The data generated may contribute to support public policies that ensure the maintenance and expansion of “restinga” areas in urban environments, contributing to the conservation of bee species in the Atlantic Forest.

Electric fences are great alternatives in the management of cattle pasture; however, they require extra attention when cherishing for the animals’ safety. Electric shocks caused by an artificial source are known as eletroplession or electrocution. Cases associated with electric fences often occur due to incorrect handling or even herd dispersion during panic. This study aims to report the epidemiological, clinical, and pathological features of prolonged electric shock in a bovine from Santa Catarina state, Brazil. The animal was found with its pelvic members stuck in the low-voltage electric fence. Twenty-four hours after the incident, the bovine showed clinical signs of apathy, depression, anorexia, and reluctance to move. In 96 hours, it was found in a lateral decubitus, with pedaling movements and nystagmus. After another 48 hours, there was no clinical improvement, and the animal was euthanized due to the unfavorable prognosis. Necropsy was performed, and fragments of all organs were collected for histopathological analysis. Gross and microscopic lesions associated with clinical signs demonstrated acute rhabdomyolysis due to electric shock, which resulted in the animal's recumbency. Histopathological analysis also revealed neurological damage due to the electric shock. Prolonged and low-voltage electrical discharges can cause acute rhabdomyolysis in bovines. This condition should be considered with a reserved to unfavorable prognosis due to the neurological disorders and possible kidney damage.
Suspected primary bone marrow T-cell lymphoid neoplasia causing paraneoplastic hypercalcemia in 11 dogs (2014–2021)
Authors: Portanova Alex , Rout Emily D. , Avery Anne C. , Viall Austin K.
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE

To describe the clinical findings and outcome in hypercalcemic dogs that were diagnosed with T-cell lymphoid neoplasia by bone marrow evaluation.

ANIMALS

11 client-owned dogs, identified retrospectively through 2 diagnostic laboratories between 2014 and 2021.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

Cases presented with hypercalcemia and lacked overt evidence of lymphoid neoplasia in the blood or nonmedullary tissues. T-cell lymphoid neoplasia was diagnosed once the bone marrow was investigated, using a variable combination of cytology, histology, and flow cytometry.

RESULTS

The median age at presentation was 5.7 years (range, 4.0 to 8.6 years). All cases were large-breed dogs, and 4 of 11 cases were Golden Retrievers. Dogs presented most commonly for polyuria and polydipsia (72%). Eight cases had neutropenia, and 10 of 11 dogs had reported thrombocytopenia. In all cases, flow cytometry identified an expansion of neoplastic small- to intermediate-sized T cells in the bone marrow that expressed low-class-II major histocompatibility complex. Neoplastic T cells in 10 of 11 cases expressed CD4. Treatments ranged from prednisone alone to multiagent chemotherapy. The median overall survival time was 260 days (range, 25 to 792 days).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

T-cell lymphoid neoplasia diagnosed via bone marrow evaluation that may represent a unique bone marrow T-cell neoplastic entity should be considered in hypercalcemic dogs with isolated cytopenias that lack peripheral lymphocytosis, lymphadenopathy, and organomegaly. Clinical outcome in these cases was variable, which may be related to nonstandardized treatments, but a subset of patients had prolonged survival.

Authors: Wyatt Sophia , Singer Lisa , King Joshua
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE

To summarize findings from a case of adrenocortical hemorrhage following tetracosactide injection during ACTH stimulation testing for monitoring of trilostane therapy in a dog.

ANIMAL

A 12-year old neutered male dog with adrenal-dependent hypercortisolism.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION, PROGRESSION, AND PROCEDURES

4 hours after ACTH stimulation testing, the patient developed vomiting, lethargy, and abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound was performed before and after an ACTH stimulation test. Following ACTH stimulation testing, there was progressive bilateral adrenal enlargement and free abdominal fluid had developed. This was considered to be caused by adrenocortical inflammation and hemorrhage secondary to the synthetic ACTH analog, tetracosactide, used during stimulation testing. A resting cortisol performed 5 hours after tetracosactide injection was not consistent with iatrogenic hypoadrenocorticism.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

The patient was managed with analgesia, IV fluids, and corticosteroids and made a full recovery.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

To the authors’ knowledge, this was the first reported case of adrenocortical hemorrhage following administration of a synthetic ACTH analog in a dog. This should be considered as a rare potential complication of ACTH stimulation testing.
What are the risks of clinic-backed payment plans?
Authors: Neill Clinton L. , Roberts Jayden , Colon Jorge , Zhang Peilu
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this viewpoint is to discuss the risks associated with offering clinic-backed payment plans, with a particular focus on financial risks. We provide a financial calculator tool that clinics can use with their financial information to make more informed decisions about whether implementing clinic-backed payment plans are viable for them. Realistic but hypothetical financial information for a clinic is used to simulate financial evaluations, including cash flow budget analysis, multivariate sensitivity analysis, and risk assessment to help clinics better understand these evaluations. Our simulations show that even under high default rates, the revenue benefits outweigh the labor costs and could bring higher profitability to clinics while increasing access to care for clients and patients.

Published: November 2023

Traffic accidents are still significant contributors to a fairly high death. Denpasar’s resort police record every traffic accident in the form of a daily report. The stored data can generate valuable information to improve policies and propagate better traffic practices. This research utilizes the classification technique with the XGBoost, random forest algorithm, and SMOTE method. The study shows that the SMOTE technique can increase the model's accuracy. Using the classification method with the two algorithms produces factors that affect the severity of traffic accident victims with feature importance. The feature importance obtained using the XGBoost model by counting the weight value for testing using the original dataset, the dataset for the type of two-wheeled vehicle, and the dataset of the kind of vehicle other than two-wheeled indicate that the variables influencing the severity of victims in road accidents are the time of accident between 00.00-06.00, the type of vehicle motorcycle, the type of opponent vehicle truck and pickup car, the age of the driver between 16-25, sub-district road status and front – side type of accident.

The Free Energy Density of a Fluid and its Role in Solvation and Binding
Authors: Gilson Michael K. , Kurtzman Tom
Published: November 2023

The concept that a fluid has a position-dependent free energy density appears in the literature but has not been fully developed or accepted. We set this concept on an unambiguous theoretical footing via the following strategy. First, we set forth four desiderata that should be satisfied by any definition of the position-dependent free energy density, f(R), in a system comprising only a fluid and a rigid solute: its volume integral, plus the fixed internal energy of the solute, should be the system free energy; it deviates from its bulk value, f_bulk, near a solute but should asymptotically approach f_bulk with increasing distance from the solute; it should go to zero where the solvent density goes to zero; and it should be well-defined in the most general case of a fluid made up of flexible molecules with an arbitrary interaction potential. Second, we use statistical thermodynamics to formulate a definition of the free energy density that satisfies these desiderata. Third, we show how any free energy density satisfying the desiderata may be used to analyze molecular processes in solution. In particular, because the spatial integral of f(R) equals the free energy of the system, it can be used to compute free energy changes that result from the rearrangement of solutes, as well as the forces exerted on the solutes by the solvent. In particular, we discuss the thermodynamic analysis of water in protein binding sites to inform ligand design. Finally, we discuss related literature and address published concerns regarding the thermodynamic plausibility of a position-dependent free energy density. The theory presented here has applications in theoretical and computational chemistry and may be further generalizable beyond fluids, such as to solids and macromolecules.

Nonideal Justice, Fairness, and Affirmative Action
Authors: Adams Matthew
Published: November 2023

I defend affirmative action on the ground that it increases certain people’s ability to exercise their basic liberties, rather than because it rectifies injustice in the narrow context of educational admission procedures. I present this justification using a Rawlsian contractualist framework to forge a “nonideal principle of justice.” Drawing on social science, I argue that this principle supports affirmative-action policies like those in the contemporary U.S., and blocks the objection that such policies are unfair. In closing, I show how my account can be used to refine some features of contemporary affirmative-action policies, and I reflect more generally on the value of nonideal principles of justice for tackling exigent topics.
Hygienic assessment of dangerous chlorites in drinking water treated with chlorine dioxide and the risk of its consumption to the health of the population

Published: November 2023

Today, chlorine dioxide has begun to be more widely implemented in water treatment technologies on river running water systems of Ukraine. Chlorine dioxide is used in traditional water treatment technology for both primary and secondary water treatment on the Dnipro running water system in Kyiv. Objective – to analyze the results of the content of dangerous chlorites in tap drinking water of certain districts of the city of Kyiv, and calculate and assess non-carcinogenic risk of this drinking water for human health. It was shown that in the drinking water from the running water networks of Svyatoshynskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, Obolonskyi and Podilskyi districts of the city, into which it enters after treatment with chlorine dioxide from the Dnipro running water system, the levels of chlorites were the lowest in winter and spring. In summer, the concentrations of chlorites in the water from the studied networks were the highest and averaged from 0.32 to 0.45 mg/dm3. In autumn, chlorites in the water from these systems were at the level of 0.22-0.28 mg/dm3. In spring (May) and especially in summer, the levels of chlorites in drinking water, according to average data, exceeded the national hygienic standard (0.2 mg/dm3) by 1.5-2 times, but they were never higher than the chlorite standard (0.7 mg/dm3) recommended by WHO. Our analysis of sanitary-chemical and microbiological indicators in drinking water showed that the water is characterized by high quality and safety during the entire period of observation. The risk assessment of the development of non-carcinogenic effects for the oral route of intake of chlorites with drinking water from the specified water networks based on average annual data showed the value of the danger coefficient (HQ) at the level of 0.24-0.38, that is, it was lower than 1.0. The danger coefficient for chlorite content in drinking water was also determined at the level of 0.2 mg/dm3 and 0.7 mg/dm3. According to this indicator, the lifetime use of drinking water with a chlorite content of 0.2 mg/dm3 and even 0.7 mg/dm3 does not pose a threat to human health, since the danger coefficient is within 1.0, which is a permissible (acceptable) risk by degree of danger. Thus, the use of chlorine dioxide in traditional water treatment technology ensures high quality and safety of drinking water in terms of microbiological and sanitary-chemical indicators. There is a periodic (mainly in summer) excess of chlorite content in drinking water in relation to the national standard (0.2 mg/dm3), but its level was never higher than the standard recommended by WHO (0.7 mg/dm3). It has been shown that the existing levels of chlorites in drinking water and its use with such a toxic load do not pose a threat to human health.

Authors: Culebro-Martínez Román
Published: November 2023

La investigación reciente sobre alfabetización financiera señala que puede entenderse como una combinación de conocimiento, comportamiento y actitudes financieras. Este trabajo examina de manera exploratoria el nivel de comportamiento, conocimiento y actitudes financieras en la micro, pequeña y mediana empresa (MIPYME) y su correlación con el desempeño en el estado de Veracruz, México. Para ello se aplicaron encuestas a una muestra de 206 MIPYMES en los municipios de Veracruz y Coatzacoalcos. Tomando como referencia la metodología sugerida por la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos, se construyeron índices de conocimiento financiero, comportamiento financiero, actitudes financieras y desempeño de las empresas. Los resultados mostraron que el nivel de conocimiento obtuvo el valor más bajo para las MIPYMES encuestadas, mientras que el nivel de actitudes obtuvo el valor más alto. La relación entre las variables se constató con el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson y se encontró asociación positiva entre los tres componentes de la alfabetización financiera, sin embargo, solamente la correlación entre comportamiento y conocimiento resultó significativa. De igual forma, se encontró correlación positiva y significativa entre el nivel de comportamiento financiero y el desempeño de las MIPYMES encuestadas. Los hallazgos sugieren que el comportamiento financiero es el componente más importante para el desempeño de la micro, pequeña y mediana empresa.

Published: November 2023

The literature supports the notation that corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a vital role in engaging consumers and establishing strong relationships with the organizations. However, CSR needs to be comprehensively studied as internal marketing to motivate employees to improve customer services by fulfilling their needs. Accordingly, the current study determines the impact of CSR congruence and efficacy on employee-customer identification, psychological benefit, and customer orientation in the hospitality industry of Pakistan. The data from 276 frontline employees were collected using a purposive sampling technique through self-administered questionnaires and structural equation modeling was used to test the research hypotheses. The results found that perceived CSR congruence has a stronger impact on employee-customer identification, while CSR efficacy has a relatively stronger relationship with psychological job benefits and customer orientation. This study provides a significant contribution to the extant literature on using CSR as an internal marketing strategy to improve the frontline employees’ ability to satisfy external stakeholders, i.e., customers.

Indigenous peoples who have lived in the Maluku Islands since their ancestors have applied various forms of local wisdom to the conservation of natural resources and the environment around them. As coastal communities who live on small islands separated by the sea, there are various limitations, especially communication and transportation which are determined by the season. The community seeks to know the dynamics of natural changes through various life experiences known as NANAKU. The layout of the island greatly determines the application of a local wisdom, so that what is done by the people in the Southeast Maluku Regency is different from on the islands of Seram or Buru Island. The wildlife on Seram Island and Buru Island are different from the endemic wildlife on the Aru Islands. The problems faced by small island communities are transportation, communication of science and technology. Wildlife as God's creation must be guarded and protected from extinction because it has important benefits for our lives. Wildlife can be used as an indicator (Nanaku) to find out natural phenomena around us. The role of foresters and ecotourists in motivating rural communities is needed so that environmental components, especially wildlife, can be put to good use.

Indonesia is a country that is very vulnerable to earthquakes, one of which is in Bengkulu Province, especially Kepahiang Regency. To deal with risks or losses caused by earthquakes, insurance can be purchased. Therefore, in this study, earthquake insurance premiums will be determined by taking into account the probability of an earthquake occurring and the ratio of damage to buildings in Kepahiang Regency. The PSHA (Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis) method is used to determine the probability of an earthquake occurring. In the PSHA process, earthquake data will be collected and analyzed to identify earthquake sources, characterize earthquake sources, and calculate earthquake hazard (the probability of an earthquake). Damage data on buildings will be processed to obtain a ratio of building damage. After that, a pure premium will be obtained, by multiplying the EADR (Expected Annual Damage Ratio) value with the sum insured of the building, where EADR is the estimated level of annual damage due to earthquakes in an area

Published: November 2023

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of employing artificial neural networks in conjunction with a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) ensemble for forecasting electrical load. The SARIMA ensemble comprises members generated by varying autoregressive orders or moving averages. Subsequently, these SARIMA ensemble members are integrated using artificial neural networks. The datasets encompass monthly electrical load data pertaining to households, businesses, industries, and the public, spanning from January 2016 to December 2020. The findings demonstrate that across various categories, SARIMA ensemble-based artificial neural networks demonstrated superior predictive performance compared to alternative models. Future research endeavors should focus on exploring diverse methodologies for both creating and amalgamating ensemble members.

Persisting Barriers to the Adoption of Telemedicine in Latin America After the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Chueke, B.Soc.Sci Daniela
Published: November 2023

The pandemic spurred a rapid uptake of telemedicine by sidelining or overcoming the various challenges of implementing remote patient-care solutions, identified in numerous studies. Although the pandemic was the major factor driving adoption of telemedicine and telehealth, there are still several barriers that health systems need to address. However, health care administrators can rely on this modality of care as evidence largely shows that it is safe, effective, and widely accepted. This technical report gives a broad-strokes update on the development of telemedicine after the COVID pandemic in Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia—the four countries that made the greatest strides in the field of telemedicine and telehealth in Latin America, identifying which barriers still persist to its full integration into the health system.

La pandemia alentó la rápida adopción de la telemedicina dejando de lado o superando varios de los desafíos que implica la implementación de las soluciones de atención remota de pacientes, identificados en numerosas investigaciones. Si la pandemia fue el gran impulsor para la adopción de la telemedicina y la telesalud, todavía quedan varias barreras que los sistemas de salud deben abordar; sin embargo, los administradores de atención médica pueden confiar en la modalidad, ya que la evidencia muestra en gran medida que es segura, eficaz y ampliamente aceptada. El presente reporte técnico ofrece un panorama general del desarrollo de la telemedicina con posterioridad a la pandemia de COVID-19 en Chile, Brasil, Colombia y Argentina, cuatro de los países que más avances hicieron en el campo de la telemedicina y la telesalud en América Latina, identificando cuáles fueron las barreras que todavía persisten para su integración completa al sistema de salud.
El contador-partidor dativo en el derecho civil de Cataluña
Authors: Vaquer Aloy Antoni
Published: November 2023

El artículo sistematiza la figura del contador-partidor dativo en el derecho civil catalán. Se trata de un cargo de nombramiento judicial cuya misión específica consiste en partir la herencia. La característica del derecho civil catalán es que esta figura no se regula directamente, sino por vía de la remisión que el art. 464-7.2 CCCat efectúa a la partición judicial. Sin embargo, en la medida en que el art. 786.1 LEC remite para las operaciones divisorias a la ley aplicable a la sucesión del causante, cuando esta se rija por derecho catalán deben tenerse en cuenta sus normas sucesorias sustantivas, en particular las previstas para el albacea contador-partidor que admitan la aplicación analógica. Se delinean las funciones del contador-partidor y se formula una propuesta final de lege ferenda.
