Authors: Jiali Jiang , Yuanyuan Lin , Zhenyang Zhang , Jun Wang
Published: April 2021

With the reduction of government subsidies for new energy vehicle, it has become an important decision problem for traditional vehicle enterprises with new energy vehicle production qualification to decide how much proportion of new energy vehicles should be produced. By maximizing the utility of the vehicle enterprise, this study analyses the influence of enterprise’s production decision and consumer’s preference payment premium for the performance of new energy vehicle on optimal mixed production and pricing decision after the subsidies withdraw from the new energy vehicle market. The Results show that: (1) consumer’s payment premium increases the proportion of new energy vehicles produced by automobile enterprise. The enterprise only produces traditional fuel vehicles instead of new energy vehicles, when the premium is less than a certain level; and when the payment premium is higher than a certain threshold, the enterprise merely produces new energy vehicles instead of traditional ones. (2) As the rise of consumer’s payment premium, the amount of people who consume vehicles show a downward trend, and finally only 1/2 of consumers will remain to purchase automobiles. (3) There shows a U-shaped relationship between the optimal profit of vehicle enterprise and consumer payment premium that the profit of vehicle enterprise will decline first and then rise with the increase of consumer payment premium.

The arity of convex spaces
Authors: Yao Wei , Chen Ye
Published: April 2021

The arity of convex spaces is a numerical feature which shows the ability of finite subsets spanning to the whole space via the hull operators. This paper gives it a formal and strict definition by introducing the truncation of convex spaces. The relations that between the arity of quotient spaces and the original spaces, that between the arity of subspaces and superspaces, that between the arity of product spaces and factors spaces, and that between the arity of disjoint sums and term spaces, are systematically studied. A mistake of a formula in [M. Van De Vel, Theory of Convex Structures, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1993] is corrected. It is shown that a convex space is Alexandrov iff its arity is 1. The convex structures with arity ≤n are equivalent to structured sets with n-restricted hull operators.

Published: April 2021

Background: Although pathological studies usually indicate pure dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in patients with parkin (PRKN) mutations, there is no evidence to date regarding white matter (WM) pathology. A previous diffusion MRI study has revealed WM microstructural alterations caused by systemic oxidative stress in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD), and we found that PRKN patients have systemic oxidative stress in serum biomarker studies. Thus, we hypothesized that PRKN mutations might lead to WM abnormalities. Objective: To investigate whether there are WM microstructural abnormalities in early-onset PD patients with PRKN mutations using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods: Nine PRKN patients and 15 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited. DTI measures were acquired on a 3T MR scanner using a b value of 1,000 s/mm2 along 32 isotropic diffusion gradients. The DTI measures were compared between groups using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) analysis. Correlation analysis was also performed between the DTI parameters and several serum oxidative stress markers obtained in a previously conducted metabolomic analysis. Results: Although the WM volumes were not significantly different, the TBSS analysis revealed a corresponding decrease in fractional anisotropy and an increase in mean diffusivity and radial diffusivity in WM areas, such as the anterior and superior corona radiata and uncinate fasciculus, in PRKN patients compared with controls. Furthermore, 9-hydroxystearate, an oxidative stress marker, and disease duration were positively correlated with several parameters in PRKN patients. Conclusion: This pilot study suggests that WM microstructural impairments occur in PRKN patients and are associated with disease duration and oxidative stress.
Bring-Your-Own-Device Usage Trends in Australian Hospitals – A National Survey
Authors: Wani Tafheem Ahmad , Mendoza Antonette , Gray Kathleen
Published: April 2021

Background: Healthcare is among the leading industries which drives the use of personal devices for work purposes (BYOD). However, allowing BYOD for healthcare workers comes at a cost, as it puts sensitive information assets such as patient data residing on personal devices at risk of potential data breaches. Objective: Previous review of the literature has highlighted the dearth of empirical studies in hospital settings regarding BYOD usage. As such, this paper aims to report BYOD usage trends in Australian hospitals through a national survey, first of its kind in Australia. Methods: An anonymous survey was conducted online among health IT personnel, asking them about their experiences about BYOD usage in their hospitals. 28 responses were collected based on public Australian hospitals, which included 21 hospital groups and 7 standalone hospitals, likely to represent more than 100 hospitals in total. Survey responses were quantitatively analysed through descriptive statistical analysis and cross tabulation. Results: BYOD is allowed in majority of the hospitals, and among all major staff groups, with doctors being the leading group. Participants ranked reasons for allowing BYOD, and most of them were related to improvement in clinical productivity, efficiency and mobility for clinical staff. Challenges were generally related to data security such as patient data breaches and compliance with data security laws, according to them. More than two thirds of hospitals had a cybersecurity officer employed, and CIOs were the most dominant group who held responsibility for managing BYOD within the hospital. Conclusion: This paper provides a starting point for better understanding of BYOD usage in a complex healthcare environment based on empirical evidence, one which highlights the security-usability conundrum, confirming previous literature themes.
Getting to the Right Patient at the Right Time: An Interoperable Mobile App to Track the ED Journey in Hospital
Authors: Wang Audrey P. , Pryce David , Gough Phillip
Published: April 2021

The current legacy ICT framework structures in healthcare are often siloed and do not allow information to flow easily between business analytics and clinical systems, affecting critical decision making.Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD) has numerous electronic database systems for business analytics including tracking individual patients waiting for treatment in the emergency department (ED). Administrators of hospital business data report ED performance measures in a weekly static feedback report to clinical and executive staff due to current legacy systems and manual resource allocation processes. The remit of the project was to prototype a system that could integrate data sources from the current QlikSense Dashboard into an interoperable mobile app with the future intention of direct impact on clinical care decision making for the emergency department. A series of meetings between business analytics unit and clinical staff were used to inform a set of requirements for information workflow systems integration to be used on the project. Stimulated patient data that matched typical data feeds from the system was used to develop a prototype interoperable HL7 messaging mobile app that would report waiting patients in their triage categories in near real time. This working protype with synthetic scenarios and data will inform a future deployable production system with information for the patient journey from the ED waiting room into available hospital beds. As most applications are either designed for business analytics or clinical workflows, integrating information data sources into one mobile application that could meet the needs of both clinical and business performance was novel and integral. This proof of concept project successfully integrated the information systems necessary for both purposes and informs future requirements for an interoperable and deployable cross-platform mobile app.

The COVID-19 pandemic has quickly and radically transformed health systems worldwide. The challenges are imposed by the need for social distance, remote management of less severe cases, and the constant need for updating health care professionals and the population with reliable information. We aim to describe the experiences and developments of a Brazilian telehealth public service during the pandemic. Numerous tools have been developed and made available, to be used in an integrated manner, by both health professionals and the general public. Those included a chatbot for guidance, a teleconsultation platform combined with a telemonitoring system, a teleconsulting service, and a tele-education program. The TNMG services appear to be efficient and robust during the health crisis of COVID-19, through different tools and methodologies focused on both professionals and users of the health systems.

Published: April 2021

Background: Only 20–40% of candidates actually attend cardiac rehabilitation programs in Australia, with attendance numbers remaining unchanged in the last 20 years. Common barriers to cardiac rehabilitation are geographical isolation, work responsibilities and transportation. Web-based cardiac rehabilitation can provide an alternative, patient centred, flexible delivery option. Objective: The objective of this study was to describe how patient-generated input, through a workshop on desired content and features, informs technology and implementation specifications for the patient portal of a cardiac rehabilitation website. Methods: UX Design theoretical framework, using a co-design workshop, with thematic analysis and a survey. Results: We recruited 7 participants and 1 cardiac rehabilitation coordinator. The median age of participants was 75.0 (IQR 74.0–78.0), 4 (57.1%) were male and all had completed a cardiac rehabilitation program. Most used a smart phone (5, 71.4%) and Facebook (6, 85.7%). Four themes were identified: input information, format of information, usability and support of health behavior change, informing the next iteration of the workshops and contribute to the cardiac rehabilitation patient website development.

Warm Climate Production Guidelines for Angelonia
Authors: Schoellhorn Richard , Alvarez Erin
Published: April 2021

Angelonia is a popular warm-season annual that has a renewed interest for growers and consumers due to the development of several new cultivars. It is excellent for use in the landscape and in large containers, and is becoming more popular for cut flower use. Known as the summer snapdragon, this plant does best in warm climates, is drought tolerant, and really shines when snapdragons and other spring annuals begin to wither. Older varieties vary in performance. Most are treated as annuals, but in all Florida zones they can be perennial if the winter is mild. This document is ENH 877, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The History of Offshore Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Tiu Laura , Camp Edward
Published: April 2021

Aquaculture is a growing industry in Florida, and there is particular interest in offshore marine aquaculture. While inland and coastal aquaculture (like for shellfish or ornamental fish) is managed by the Florida state agency Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), offshore aquaculture also involves federal management agencies. However, there has been some confusion and disagreement about which federal agencies will manage and make decisions about offshore aquaculture in the United States. This document describes a recent history and current state of that discussion. This information is important for potential aquaculturists and other stakeholders to understand, and should also provide guidance to management and outreach agencies seeking to inform stakeholders about offshore aquaculture.

A survey was sent to Florida fresh citrus packers to collect data on the average “packing charges” for the 2003 season. A total of nine packinghouses from both the Indian River and Interior production regions provided data for the survey. This is not a statistically chosen sample; therefore, the costs may not be representative of Florida's total citrus packinghouse industry. The participants were chosen because of their willingness to participate in the survey. The information reported were “packing charges,” not actual packing costs. This is EDIS document FE431, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Change has kept the Florida citrus industry competitive during the last century. The Florida citrus industry is now facing one of its greatest challenges -- the change to mechanical harvesting or lose competitiveness in the global juice market. It is a general consensus among industry leaders that efficiencies in harvesting offer the greatest potential to reduce costs and keep our juice industry economically viable. Other tree crops (tart and sweet cherry, pistachios, prunes, olives) that would have been lost, have moved to mechanical harvesting to survive, but a generation of change was required and thinking had to be adjusted in lines with a commodity. This document is HS974, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Termites of the genus Cryptotermes were sometimes called powderpost termites because of the telltale heaps of fecal pellets (frass) that accumulate beneath infested wood. Fecal pellets of Cryptotermes, however, are similar in size and shape to other comparably sized species of Kalotermitidae. All are now collectively known as drywood termites. The most economically significant termite in this genus, Cryptotermes brevis (Walker), commonly infests structures and was at one time known as the “furniture termite,” thanks to the frequency with which colonies were found in pieces of furniture. A member of the same genus that might be mistaken for C. brevis upon a first, cursory examination is C. cavifrons, a species endemic to Florida. This document is EENY-279, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Historically, efforts to reform Family Law in parts of the Islamic world began to be realized in the late 19th century AD. The reality of Islamic legal reforms carried out in Islamic countries in North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia gave rise to unprecedented changes in the last century. These changes occur both in the justice system and in the system applied. Changes to family law were first carried out by Turkey, then followed by Lebanon in 1919, Jordan in 1951, and Syria in 1953. Muslim countries in the world, in their context with the renewal of family law, are divided into three categories. First, an Islamic state that does not carry out any renewal and still enforces family law as stipulated in the books of fiqh. Secondly, an Islamic state that has completely abandoned Islamic family law and adopted European civil law. Third, countries that are trying to enforce Islamic family law but after making reforms here and there. This paper tries to discuss one of the reforms carried out by one Muslim country, namely Turkey, which is related to the reformation (reform) of family law that starts from the history of reform, legislation, renewal, and legal material. The author chose Turkey because it is the first Muslim country to make changes to family law.

Capital structure is one of the topics in which business managers as well as academics are always interested, because it has many important implications. This problem in developing countries is even more relevant due to the low level of financial development in these countries, leading to uncertain access to external capital by firms. This paper focuses on the impact of stock market development on capital structure in five developing countries in ASEAN, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, for the period 2010 - 2018. Stock market development is measured in four different ways: Stock market capitalization to GDP (MACAP), total value of shares traded to GDP (LIQ1), total value of shares traded to stock market capitalization (LIQ2) and average of the three indexes (STOCK). The results show that development of stock market has different impacts on capital structure, depending on the measures used to reflect the stock market development. Specifically, MACAP, LIQ2 and STOCK do not reach statistical significance, while LIQ1 has a negative effect. In addition, firm size (SIZE), tangible assets (TANG), growth opportunities (TOBINQ), inflation (INF) and GDP growth (GDPGR) positively affect capital structure; while firms' profit (ROA) has negative effect. Based on the research findings, the research offers several implications for relevant stakeholders.

This paper investigates the factors influencing capital structure of the companies listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) during 2011-2018. Factors tested included non-debt tax shield, firm size, tangible fixed assets structure, and profitability based on previous studies and the two prominent capital structure theories namely the trade-off theory and the pecking-order theory. We used the variable financial leverage (LEV) to measure capital structure. The analysis employs multiple linear panel regression models in examining factors influencing capital structure, the random effect model (REM) obtained by table data processing was found to be consistent with the study data. Our results revealed that profitability and non-debt tax shield had a negative impact on capital structure. On the other hand, firm size exhibited a positive impact whilst the effect of tangible fixed assets was statistically insignificant. Amongst all tested factors, non-debt tax shield was shown to exert the greatest influence on capital structure of companies. We conclude that the factors influencing capital structure of the companies listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange are mostly consistent with the hypothesis of trade-off theory rather than pecking-order theory. Our results support the trade-off theory because large firms are more likely to borrow to greater benefits from the tax shield. The study greatly contributes towards the enrichment of empirical evidence on the factors influencing capital structure and helps the management with planning, making properly informed decisions to improve the firm performance.

Published: April 2021

The vehicle planar single track dynamic model with two input steering angle parameters is derived by using Lagrange's method with the basis of equations for calculating the tire's force components. Dynamic analysis of a heavy articulated vehicle in case of turing is carried out by the vehicle planar dynamic model, in which two input steering angles are taken into account. Simulation with the selected velocity value to make sure that the stability according to the friction conditions at all axles of the vehicle is satisfied. Turning spacing, lateral forces at each axle of the vehicle are determined and analyzed for all three different cases of steering angles, respectively with steering angle of the semi-trailer is in the same direction, in the opposite direction and is locked or not steered in comparision with the steering angle of the tractor. The obtained results show that the derived model could employ to determine the planar kinematic and dynamic parameters, and analyze the dynamic safety features of an articulated vehicle, too. In addition, the derived mathematical model could also employ to develop a computational model that controls the planar articulated vehicle dynamics.

Parmenides on the True and Right Names of Being
Authors: Younesie Mostafa
Published: April 2021

Parmenides as a knowing mortal (F I. 3) writes a philosophical-poetic account of a travelogue in which distinctive voices (F. 2) that are a mixture of myth and logos come out of an unnamed goddess (F I. 23) who didactically speaks with an unnamed young man as her direct listener and addressee (F II. 1) in order to reveal for him different spheres and routes (F II. 2) of inquiry about a specific referent. In the hybrid and tailored account of the immortal about a specific subject-matter, such as being, we can read different approaches of the thoughtful mortals through the narration of the goddess, and the idea of the immortal herself. And exactly when thoughtful mortals want to introduce their thinking and understanding of the “referent” in human lingual terms they appeal to the act of naming and making names, though there is no explicit account by the immortal about her approach for lingual expressing of the referent. Such an account gives us some useful and distinctive hints about Parmenides’ conception as a mortal about naming/names which makes his conception in a specific position in regard to the other pertinent and close words, such as ἔπος/ἔπεα, ῥῆμα, ἔργον, καλεῖν, λόγος and Presocratic thinkers like Heraclitus, Democritus, and Empedocles. According to the immortal’s account, in relation to naming and names thoughtful mortals can be classified mainly into two groups: (1) Those who are in Aletheia are informed of the distinctive features of the referent that is a “totality” and should be able to make “true” names for it but fail (F8. 38-39). If they succeeded, then their naming and names are true/ ἀληθῆ; and (2) those who are in Doxa think to know the features of the referent that is a “dual” and accordingly thoughtful mortals make names. Though all of names that are made are not unacceptable, one set is acceptable/χρεών (F 8. 54). As a result, we can infer that if Parmenides as a thoughtful mortal wants to express his thought about eon in lingual terms, he should appeal to naming and making names for they have specific dynamis (F IX. 2—a term that appears in Plato’s Cratylus 394b) in communicating the nature of any specific referent. The first best situation or Aletheia is where on the basis of his “knowledge”, he can communicate the distinctive features of eon in names and thereby make “true” names. Besides, there is the second best or Doxa, where he can communicate his “beliefs” about the essence and essential features of eon in names and make “acceptable” names.
