Ethogram and classification of the mating and egg-laying behaviour of the Southeast Asian apple snail Pila virescens (Deshayes, 1824) (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Caenogastropoda, Ampullariidae)
Authors: Annate Supunya , Ng Ting Hui , Sutcharit Chirasak , Panha Somsak
Published: September 2023

The status of the indigenous Southeast Asian apple snails belonging to the genus Pila is of concern due to their fast rate of population decline, possibly as a result of multiple factors including habitat loss or disturbance and the introduction of globally-invasive apple snails, Pomacea spp. Conservation actions, including captive breeding of the native Pila species, have been suggested as urgent remedial practices, but the lack of knowledge regarding the fundamental reproductive biology of indigenous Pila spp. makes such practices difficult. In the present study, observations on the mating and egg-laying behaviour of an economic valuable apple snail native to Southeast Asia, P. virescens, were conducted using video recording to examine and describe their reproductive behaviour under a laboratory condition. A total of 15 types of mating and seven egg-laying behaviour were recorded. The mating sequence which subsequently resulted in egg laying was comprised of seven types of major sequential behaviour: mate probing, mounting, shell circling, positioning, insemination posture, sheath withdrawal and dismounting. Rejection of mating attempts by the female was frequently observed. Egg laying occurred during either day or night. A sequence of seven distinct types of behaviour were performed during oviposition: climbing, positioning, forming a temporary tube, mucous secreting, egg depositing, leaving and resting. Overall, these results provide an understanding of the egg-laying behavioural process and highlight its complexity in P. virescens. In addition, detailed ethograms of mating and egg-laying behaviour were derived. These will promote further systematic comparative studies of the reproductive behaviour of apple snails.

Authors: Hou Yun-Feng , Wei Jiu-Feng , Zhao Tian-You , Li Cai-Feng , Wang Fang
Published: September 2023

Soft scale insects (Hemiptera, Coccidae) are important pests of various agricultural and horticultural crops and ornamental plants. They have negative impacts on agriculture and forestry. The tribe Coccini represents one of the most ancient evolutionary lineages of soft scale insects. However, no complete Coccini mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is available in public databases. Here, we described the complete mitogenome of Coccus hesperidum L., 1758. The 15,566 bp mitogenome of C. hesperidum had a high A+T content (83.4%) and contained a typical set of 37 genes, with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). Only seven tRNAs had the typical clover-leaf secondary structure and the remaining tRNAs lacked the DHU arm, TψC arm or both. Moreover, a comparative analysis of all reported scale insect mitogenomes from GenBank database was performed. The mitogenomes of scale insects showed high similarities in base composition and A+T content. Additionally, our phylogenetic analysis confirmed the monophyly of Coccomorpha and revealed that the archaeococcoids were the most basal lineage within Coccomorpha, while Ericerus pela and Didesmococcus koreanus, belonging to Coccidae, were often mixed with Aclerdidae, making Coccidae a paraphyletic group. These findings expand the mitogenome database of scale insects and provide new insights on mitogenome evolution for future studies across different insect groups.

The impact of active learning on entrepreneurial capacity
Authors: Rincón Virginia , Zorrilla Pilar , Marin-Garcia Juan Antonio
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This paper intends to shed light on the teaching-leaning methodologies that best contribute to developing entrepreneurial competences.Design/methodology/approach: We pose an active learning model that integrates the content of three subjects from the field of marketing in a single business project. We also measure the impact of this model on entrepreneurial competences through a validated questionnaire. The measurement instrument includes the short FINCODA questionnaire version to assess innovative behaviour and creativity, and indicators from the GEM survey on entrepreneurial perceptions for assessment of entrepreneurial spirit.Findings: The results show a slightly positive effect on creativity and innovation capacity but that some active models may not be sufficient to develop skills linked to starting up projects or risk-taking.Originality/value: It seems reasonable to consider rethinking the teaching-learning model used with marketing students in order to boost greater development of their entrepreneurial capacity. Setting up systems that promote greater engagement between universities and social, cultural or business agents in their area could foster entrepreneurial competences. This paper contribute to the debate on education policies that drive entrepreneurship and the possibility of designing new education models.
A multi-objective optimization model for green demand responsive airport shuttle scheduling with a stop location problem
Authors: Wei Ming , Yang Congxin , Sun Bo , Jing Binbin
Published: September 2023

We proposed a multi-objective optimization framework for green demand responsive airport shuttle scheduling, which simultaneously aims at assigning demand points to selected stops and routing airport shuttles to visit these stops in their overlapping time windows to transport all passengers from their homes or workplaces to the airport. Our objectives were to minimize total travel time for passengers, the punishment expense of violating the time-window as well as carbon emissions for all shuttles. Since such issues belongs to the NP-problem, a two-stage Multi-objective ant lion optimizer (MOALO)-based algorithm incorporating dynamic programming search method was developed to acquire the optimal scheduling schemes. Finally, a case study of airport shuttle service in Tianjin Airport, China, was used to demonstrate the validity of the model and algorithm.

Published: September 2023

Background. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune liver disease. As an infrequent disease, a Facebook group was created for patients to share experiences and problems. In fact, during the COVID-19 pandemic, patient analysis could only be done through remote connection systems. Therefore, to analyze patients' quality of life (QoL), we exploited social networks and online data collection platforms. Objectives. A survey was carried out to evaluate the QoL of patients with PBC during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods. A Facebook group was used for patient enrolment. Age, sex, diagnosis, years since diagnosis, associated diseases, histological stage of the disease, value of elastography, and current therapy were collected. PBC 40 online questionnaire was submitted to patients to assess their QoL. Results. 78 patients participated in the study: 75 females, and 3 males, the mean (±SD) age was 46.4±11.5. The main diagnoses were PBC in 66 patients and overlapping syndrome PBC + autoimmune hepatitis in 10. Histology was available in 45 patients, of whom 34 were stages 1-2 and 11 stages 3-4. The main therapy was ursodeoxycholic acid in 56 pts. The questionnaire is divided into 6 domains, covering fatigue, emotional, social, and cognitive functions, general symptoms, and itching. The mean and standard deviation of the scores were computed. Interpretation of the results obtained by applying a quantitative scale showed no impairment for social, mild impairment for general symptoms, itching, cognitive and emotional function, and moderate impairment for fatigue. No correlation was found between scores and disease duration. Conclusions. This study demonstrates that online questionnaires are a viable substitute for paper questionnaires and that data collected from online surveys on Facebook can have scientific relevance; PBC had the greatest impact on QoL on fatigue and the least on social aspects.

A study on Visual Patterns using the Characteristics of Prime Numbers
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Oh Hyouk Keun
Published: September 2023

Just as the exact value of the golden ratio is calculated by the quadratic formula, the fields of aesthetics and mathematics have existed in association with each other since ancient times. Most of the concepts of numbers are quantitative, but there are also many unpredictable sequences such as π, e, and prime numbers. Since the work of visualizing such an irregular sequence also includes unpredictable expectations, a completely new pattern form can be experienced through the visualization of irregular data. This study presented a prime pattern that visually expresses the progress of a prime number by minimizing unnecessary data in expressing a prime sequence. The prime pattern has the advantage of intuitively knowing the characteristics of prime numbers that do not have more than two consecutive prime numbers ending in the same number. And it provides patterns that can be applied to various design fields through overlapping or transformation.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Li Xiang Hui , Kim Myeong Sam
Published: September 2023

In this study, the possibility of an animation story education method using AI was identified. First, as a theoretical background, we identified Keller's ARCS theory, animation story creation and education methods, self-directed learning, and generative AI as a learning motivation design model. Additionally, a new method of creating animation stories using generative AI was proposed. In the experiment, 40 subjects were divided into 20 groups of two each, and one person was randomly selected and divided into a control group and an experimental group to conduct a comparative experiment. And the results were verified with t-test. Based on Keller's ARCS theory, a learning motivation theory, through the concepts of attention and relevance, the number of instructors' instruction was used as the main parameter. The experimental results extracted valid results using AI for 12 groups and invalid results for 8 groups. The results of the study showed that the number of teachers' guidance in the traditional method, which was the comparison group, was high, and in the experimental group using AI, it was relatively low. Therefore, we proposed a new creation method that reduces teacher intervention by integrating animation story, teaching method, and AI use in the animation story creation education method, and secured its possibility.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Na Kyung Hoon
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify the perceived value of head-up display (HUD) design, a technology applied to automobiles, to reveal the influence relationship with brand attachment, and to verify the moderating effect according to the intensity of involvement between the two variables. Through prior study and theoretical review, the perceived value of design was divided into external value and intrinsic value, and the external value for case study was organized into color, layout, logo type, graphic, and icon, and the intrinsic value for empirical study was divided into economic value, functional value, emotional value, and social value. A case analysis was conducted on HUD of domestic automobile brands Hyundai Motors, Kia Motors, and Genesis, and overall, all brands' HUD designs focused on visible information delivery by adopting simple designs rather than colorful and detailed expressions. In the empirical study, path analysis was conducted through a structural equation model, and the moderating effect according to the degree of involvement was analyzed by conducting a χ2 test. The test results of the hypothesis are as follows. First, it was confirmed that the perceived value of HUD design had a positive effect on brand attachment. Second, it was found that the effect of the perceived value of HUD design on brand attachment varies depending on the level of involvement. Third, it was verified that the effect of the perceived value of HUD design on brand attachment was more positive in high-involvement situations. It is expected that this study will serve as the foundation for subsequent studies related to HUD design.

The brand awareness of Chinese watercolor pigments is not as good as the overseas brands, and they have less experience in shaping brand images. There is less research on watercolor paint packaging design in China. Packaging design is the most direct way to communicate with consumers. Therefore, this study investigated the current status of color use in packaging design for watercolor paint brands sold in China to supplement research data. According to the survey in Chinese brand watercolor paint packaging designs, high brightness and medium brightness colors are more frequently used and highly saturated yellow and low saturated green are more commonly used Low-saturated blue is used more frequently in the design of imported watercolor paints from overseas. Study's purpose is to determine the color usage in watercolor paints packaging design with the highest sales, and assist watercolor paint brands in providing important color data references in packaging design and marketing strategies.

Published: September 2023

The increasing societal issue of dementia, resulting from rapid aging, has emphasized the significance of proactive intervention in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), which is a pre-dementia stage. This study examined six cognitive functions of individuals with MCI, including memory, language ability, attention, visual-spatial skills, executive function, and orientation, based on prior research. A case analysis was conducted on three types of VR content: gamified, interactive virtual reality, and social VR. The study identified effective VR content design elements for cognitive improvement. It proposed design directions that focused on storytelling related to everyday life, user-friendly interactive designs for easy communication, a rich communicative environment with virtual avatars, and prioritizing user convenience and accessibility. These directions are expected to contribute to enhancing cognitive functions and preventing dementia.

Published: September 2023

Asian radiology Education Program was created by a group of radiologists from Asia (Bhutan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, nepal, Myanmar, Mongolia, Thailand and Vietnam) and USA to share experiences, expertise and knowledge from the West to radiology colleagues in Asia, to collaborate radiology education, research projects and exchange visitor programs in the near future. Our altimate goal is to enhance radiology care and access across the globe.  Our program is a non-profit program and therefore there is no cost to join.

We broadcast live radiology education webinars three weekends each month with multiple subspeciality lecture series: Cardiothoracic Imaging, Body Imaging, Neuroradiology, MSK Radiology and Hot and cutting-edge topics in Radiology.  This year’s program runs from January to October 2022. Our moderators are academic radiologists from member countries and our guest speakers are from leading academic institutes in the US from coast to coast. 

Thank you for the opportunity to share a few thoughts about our program.

ABSTRACT
Background: Pain is the most common side effect of hysterosalpingography (HSG) and partly arises from vulsellum placement on the cervix and cervical traction.
Objective: To study the effect of conducting HSG without grasping the cervix with vulsellum forceps on the time taken to complete the procedure, pain experienced by the participants and diagnostic quality of HSG images produced.Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial of 64 consenting adult women referred to the Radiodiagnostic department for HSG from July to December 2020 was carried out. The women were consecutively selected and randomly distributed into two groups: Group 1 - no cervical grasp and Group 2 – with cervical grasp with vulsellum forceps. HSG was done using a fluoroscopy machine, following the standard hospital protocol with speculum, Leech Wilkinson cannula and Urografin 76%. Procedure time, procedure pain using the visual analog scale and diagnostic quality of images were assessed. Data analysis was done using Microsoft Excel and SPSS software version 22.Results: The overall mean duration of the procedure was 12.59 minutes. There was no significant difference in the procedure duration between both groups.  The overall mean pain scores immediately and 15 minutes after the procedure were 4.83 and 2.23 respectively. Significant differences in pain scores were seen in the immediate post procedure 3.94 (group 1) versus 5.72 (group 2) and 15 minutes post procedure 1.75 (group 1) versus 2.72 (group 2). After adjusting for confounders, the pain score was noted to be significantly related to the HSG technique with vulsellum use associated with the higher immediate post HSG pain score. No significant difference was seen in the diagnostic image quality between group I and IIConclusion: The elimination of vulsellum forceps during hysterosalpingography was associated with reduced pain in the immediate and 15 minutes after the procedure, without significantly increasing the procedure duration. It had no deleterious effect on the image quality.

After 3 years of absence due to COVID-19 pandemic, the first group of Chinese tourists from Xiamen arrived Bangkok, Thailand, on Monday 9th January 2023 just a day after China abandoned zero-COVID policies and reopened its border on Sunday 8th January. During 9th-12th February, the Royal College of Radiologists of Thailand (RCRT) and the Radiological Society of Thailand (RST) hosted the 21th Asian Oceanian Congress of Radiology (AOCR), 40 years after they last hosted the 4th AOCR in 1983. Leaders in Radiology from Asian Oceanian countries met and shared their experiences and opinions on various topics. This issue takes core messages from Asian Symposia in AOCR on tuberculosis and post COVID lung disease.  In March, the missing caesium-137 in Thailand generated lots of fear and anxiety, fuelled by social media and inadequate statements from the authorities. The need of effective risk communication was discussed in this issue. Songkran, the water splashing festival which is Thailand’s traditional new year during 13th-15th April, marked the end of wearing masks and social distancing due to the pandemic as both local and visitors from around the world, as many as more than 100, 000, gathered in many famous parts of Thailand.
