Published: October 2023

 Accurate assessment of pleural line is crucial for the application of lung ultrasound (LUS) in monitoring lung diseases, thereby aim of this study is to develop a quantitative analysis method of pleural line. At first, the novel cascaded deep learning model based on convolution and multilayer perceptron was proposed to locate and segment the pleural line in LUS images, whose results were applied for quantitative analysis of textural and morphological features, respectively. By using gray-level co-occurrence matrix and self-designed statistical methods, eight textural and three morphological features were generated to characterize the pleural lines. Furthermore, the machine learning-based classifiers were employed to evaluate the lesion degree of pleural line in LUS images. We prospectively evaluated 5390 LUS images acquired from 31 pneumonia patients. Experimental results demonstrated that the extraction and assessment effect has reached 0.87 (i.e., Dice) and 94.47% (i.e., Accuracy), respectively, and the comparison with previous methods found statistical significance (P<0.001 for all). Thus, the proposed method has great application potential for assessment of pleural line on LUS images and aid lung disease diagnosis and treatment.

Foucault, o quinto limiar
Authors: Borges de Souza Richer Fernando
Published: October 2023

O artigo apresenta uma leitura crítica acerca do livro Foucault, o quinto limiar: estruturalismo e ontologia Queer, de Norman Madarasz. Inicialmente, o autor defende que o método estrutural jamais fora abandonado ao longo dos momentos arqueológicos e genealógicos foucaultianos. Em seguida, argumenta em favor da existência de um projeto inacabado ao longo da trajetória intelectual do filósofo que não é outro senão o da elaboração de uma nova teoria do sujeito pós-humanista. Com isso, a partir da recepção dos trabalhos mais recentes no âmbito da neuropsicologia, da biolinguística estrutural, da antropologia estrutural, da filosofia de Alain Badiou e da literatura contemporânea, o autor oferece aos leitores uma nova teoria gerativa do sujeito variacional e relacional que poderia ser vista como a complementação atual do projeto teórico foucaultiano.

2022 socioeconomic research of Natchez Trace Parkway: Report on 2022 data collection
Authors:   Otak, Inc.,   RRC Associates,   University of Montana
Published: October 2023

A strong mandate and need for socioeconomic monitoring are expressed in the NPS strategic goals for science, in statements by the NPS leadership, and the report of the Second Century Commission. This mandate resulted in a pilot socioeconomic monitoring study in 2015/2016 at a sample of park units across the U.S; the current study uses outcomes from the first stage of the pilot program and progresses into a second stage of the pilot process at 24 NPS units across the United States. Natchez Trace Parkway was selected as one of these units. This report informs core issues of visitor use management and develops a deeper, contemporary understanding of who visits Natchez Trace Parkway and what they do during their visit. It uses a two-phased survey methodology to capture a representative sample of visitor information, characteristics, and behavior: (1) an on-site intercept survey conducted via tablet, and (2) a follow up (mail-back and/or online survey) for full trip details. The results are organized by these two phases and are aimed to assist park managers in understanding current utilization and perception of park resources, operations and potential issues, as well as facilitating communication and decision-making processes within the park and between the park and its local partners and stakeholders.
Contributions of flexor hallucis longus and brevis muscles to isometric toe flexor force production
Authors: Rowley K. Michael , Kurihara Toshiyuki , Ortiz-Weissberg David , Kulig Kornelia
Published: October 2023

Purpose

Morphological differences between the two primary great toe flexors – flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and flexor hallucis brevis (FHB) – likely drive differences in how these muscles contribute to functional toe flexion torque production. The aim of the study was to investigate FHL and FHB activation in two isometric toe flexion tasks – one called a “toe-pushing” task with the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints extended and the interphalangeal (IP) joints in neutral and another called a “toe-gripping” task with the MTP joints in neutral and flexed IP joints.

Methods

Twenty participants’ FHL and FHB muscles were instrumented with intramuscular electromyography electrodes. Muscle activation was normalized to a maximum voluntary contraction and compared between the two isometric toe flexor force production tasks.

Results

Overall, participants utilized these two toe flexors completely differently in the two tasks. In the toe-gripping task, the FHL was activated to a much greater extent than the FHB. In fact, 18 our of 20 participants activated FHL at more than seventy percent maximum voluntary contraction and half of participants activated FHB at less than ten percent. In contrast, muscle activation during the toe-pushing task appeared more reliant on the FHB for most participants.

Conclusions

Different contributions from the FHL and FHB to toe flexor force production in these two tasks are potentially driven by differences in muscle functional length among other factors. These findings help to inform the selection of rehabilitation and training exercises meant to preferentially target intrinsic or extrinsic foot musculature.
Experimental study of the influence of using polyurethane cushion to reduce vibration received by a wheelchair user
Authors: Chwalik-Pilszyk Gabriela , Dziechciowski Zygmunt , Kromka-Szydek Magdalena , Kozień Marek
Published: October 2023

Purpose

Experimental studies on comparing the ability of polyurethane cushions of three arbitrary selected thicknesses to minimize vibrations transmitted from the wheelchair to its user.

Methods

Measurements were made during passive motion on five different surfaces often found in public spaces. Two tests were carried out during the measurements. In the first test, the sensor was located directly on the surface of the wheelchair seat. In the second test, a polyurethane cushion was placed on the seat, on which the measuring sensor was then placed.

Results

The study showed that regardless of the surface on which the wheelchair user moves, the threshold defined in the ISO standard for frequencies in the range from 4 to 40 Hz is exceeded. However, thanks to the use of polyurethane cushions, vibration damping is visible for frequencies ranging from 10 to 40 Hz. The impact of the user’s weight on the magnitude of the perceived vibrations was also observed.

Conclusions

Studies show that wheelchair users are exposed to whole body vibration that can negatively affect their health. Cushions made of polyurethane seems to be a promising solution to reduce whole body vibration in the frequency range that is burdensome and harmful to human health.
Age-related differences in vertical jump height and handgrip strength measurements
Authors: Sisneros Kayla P. , Maurya Pratibha S. , Johnson Evan B. , Ford Benton R. , Palmer Ty B.
Published: October 2023

Purpose

This study aimed to examine the effects of age on vertical jump height and handgrip strength measurements in women. A secondary aim was to investigate the correlations between vertical jump height and handgrip strength.

Methods

Twenty young (21.5 ± 2.8 years) and twenty older (67.0 ± 5.5 years) healthy women participated in this study. Handgrip contractions were used to assess strength measurements of peak force and rate of force development at different time intervals. Vertical jumps were performed on a jump mat. The jump mat measured vertical jump height based on flight time.

Results

The older women had lower vertical jump height (P < 0.001) and handgrip peak force (P = 0.028) and rate of force development values (P = 0.003-0.016) than the younger women. A larger difference was observed between the groups for vertical jump height (41%) than handgrip peak force and rate of force development (12-17%). Of all the strength measurements, handgrip rate of force development at 200 ms in the young (r = 0.502, P = 0.024) and older (r = 0.446, P = 0.049) women exhibited the strongest correlation with vertical jump height.

Conclusions

This investigation showed significantly lower vertical jump height and handgrip peak force and rate of force development values in older compared to younger women. Interestingly, the difference between age groups was larger for jump height than handgrip peak force and rate of force development. This suggests that vertical jump performance may be more severely affected by age than handgrip strength characteristics.

Authors: Fergus Howard A.
Published: October 2023

This book examines the social and economic forces that have shaped and constrained the development of education in the British Leeward Islands following emancipation. It critiques British colonial education and highlights several noteworthy achievements despite financial and ideological problems. The dialectical nature of education in helping to shape as well be shaped by the culture becomes evident. Dealing with four islands or island-group - Antigua-Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands, Montserrat, and St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla - this work offers insights into regional cooperation in education. In addition to the primary and secondary levels of education, Fergus considers teaching training, technical-vocational and adult education, thereby broadening the interest and appeal of his work.

Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide where the process of metastasis is a major contributor to the mortality associated with this disease. Metastasis suppressor genes are a group of genes that play a crucial role in preventing or inhibiting the spread of cancer cells. They suppress the metastasis process by inhibiting colonization and by inducing dormancy. These genes function by regulating various cellular processes in the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as cell adhesion, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis. Dysregulation of metastasis suppressor genes can lead to the acquisition of an invasive and metastatic phenotype and lead to poor prognostic outcomes. The components of the TME generally play a necessary in the metastasis progression of tumor cells. This review has identified and elaborated on the role of a few metastatic suppressors associated with the TME that have been shown to inhibit metastasis in BC by different mechanisms, such as blocking certain cell signaling molecules involved in cancer cell migration, invasion, enhancing immune surveillance of cancer cells, and promoting the formation of a protective extracellular matrix (ECM). Understanding the interaction of metastatic suppressor genes and the components of TME has important implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to target the metastatic cascade. Targeting these genes or their downstream signaling pathways offers a promising approach to inhibiting the spread of cancer cells and improves patient outcomes.

This study aims to identify the impact of increasing urbanization in the Bucharest metropolitan area in Romania on the regional climate by analyzing spatiotemporal changes in MODIS Terra/Aqua geospatial and in-situ time series of land surface albedo and climate parameters during the 2002- 2022 period. Additionally, this paper quantifies the eﬀect of urban spatiotemporal land surface albedo changes in urban thermal environment. Our analysis combined multiple long-term satellite products (e.g., land surface temperature-LST, normalized vegetation index/Enhanced Vegetation Index –NDVI/EVI, land surface albedo -LSA, leaf area index-LAI, evapotranspiration-ET) with high-resolution land cover datasets in a complex statistical and spatial regression analysis. During summer hot periods, the findings of this study reveal a strong inverse correlation between LSA and LST (r= -0.80; p<0.01) in all city sectors associated with a high negative impact on the urban thermal environment. As a measure of urban surface thermal properties, broadband albedo depends also on the atmospheric conditions. As a key parameter in urban climate research, LST interannual variations in relationship with air temperature –AT is very important in urban climate studies. The rank correlation analyses revealed that, at the pixel-scale, during the summer season (June-August) air temperature at 2m height AT and LST presents a strong positive correlation (r= 0.87%, p<0.01). During summer periods (June – August), LST-NDVI shows an inverse correlation (for central city areal r= -0.24, p< 0.05; and for metropolis areal r= -0.69, p<0.01). However, urban/periurban vegetation land covers may have major feedback to the anticipated urban climate change modeling scenarios through albedo changes due to the fact that the urban physical climate system is extremely sensitive to land surface albedo.
Employment-at-Will: Too Simple for a Complex World
Authors: Estlund Cynthia
Published: October 2023

For Professor Epstein, the distinctively American rule of employment-at-will (“EAW”) in its original, harsh form—which allowed either party to terminate employment at any time for good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all—is an exemplar of “simple rules for a complex world.” This Essay will reflect on a few ways in which EAW, plain and simple, is too simple for our complex world—too simple in light of the complexities of labor markets and of human and organizational behavior, and too simple in light of evolving societal conceptions of justice. As things now stand, given the legal complexity that has been layered atop the EAW rule in this complex world, the “just cause” rival of EAW would bring greater simplicity along with its primary virtues of fairness, economic security, and dignity for workers.

The purpose contained in this study is to understand the effect of public ownership, audit committee ownership, auditor reputation, leverage and organizational size on risk management disclosure with case studies on companies in the 2019-2021 period listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in Manufacturing in the Consumer Goods Industry. The Indonesian Stock Exchange will be the object of this research. During June 2022-April 2023 this research will take place. This approach applies a quantitative approach, a quantitative approach is a positivism-based system that is used to study certain populations and samples. The population used is companies in the 2019-2021 period which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in Manufacturing in the Consumer Goods Industry as many as 44 companies. There were 27 companies obtained in 3 years of observation from the results of selecting the sample criteria so that a sample of 81 research samples was obtained. The results of this study prove that simultaneously Public Ownership, Audit Committee Ownership, Auditor Reputation, Leverage and Company Size have a significant effect on Risk Management Disclosure. Partially, public ownership, audit committee ownership, and company size have a significant effect, but auditor reputation and leverage have no effect.

Published: October 2023

This study describes a Program to Strengthen Cognitive and Socio-Emotional Skills (PCSES) applied by teachers to their initial-level students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This work has two objectives. The first is to explore the grade of acceptance of teachers regarding the training process on cognitive and socio-emotional skills carried out by our team during the COVID-19 pandemic period, according to the school context, urban vs. urban-marginal. The second is to analyse whether teachers perceived improvements in the cognitive and socio-emotional performance of their students after the implementation of the PCSE, according to the school context. The sample consists of 36 initial-level teachers, in charge of classrooms of 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds. During the pandemic, 2020-2021, 36 teachers responded to the survey: 20 teachers from urban schools, and 16 teachers from urban-marginalized schools located in socially-vulnerable sectors. Despite the difficulties experienced during the pandemic, 94.45% of the teachers indicated that they were satisfied with the training process received. In addition, teachers from both school contexts perceived improvements in the cognitive and socio-emotional performance of their students after the implementation of the PCSES. These results suggest that the training of initial education teachers made it possible to implement a stimulation program during the pandemic period that aimed to favor cognitive, emotional, and social functions in students. The main contribution of this work was to increase the evidence of the importance of teacher training and knowledge for the development of strategies that can be used to scaffold socio-cognitive and emotional processes in the context of teaching-learning.
