Authors: Morales Zamorano Luis Alberto , Thomé Ortiz Humberto
Published: December 2024

Las oportunidades de negocio en turismo rural y agroturismo son cada vez más abundantes y prometedoras. Se inicia definiendo los conceptos de turismo rural y agroturismo y la multifuncionalidad de los sistemas agropecuarios rurales, entre otros. Se describen diferentes formas potenciales de turismo rural como el artesanal, alimentario, geológico, deportivo, cultural, etc., y se resalta la importancia de contar con buena infraestructura, como vías de acceso, estacionamientos, áreas verdes, agua potable, sanitarios, señalética, seguridad e iluminación, entre otros. También la diversión, recreación (vivir experiencias) y el entretenimiento deben formar parte de todo atractivo turístico. Se describen varias estrategias de hospedaje en el medio rural y se desarrolla un análisis del turismo agroalimentario rural. Se señalan oportunidades de involucrar al turista en procesos de producción agrícola y actividades pecuarias en granjas (agroturismo) y se describen otros tipos de turismo en zonas rurales como el de salud, resaltando la oportunidad de diseñar rutas o circuitos (recorridos) entre granjas, así como eventos de turismo rural. Aprovechar oportunidades de negocio con el uso del internet de las cosas y realizar más investigación en este campo también es considerado. Sin embargo, para lograr la sostenibilidad, nunca se deben perder de vista las amenazas que involucran su implementación en zonas rurales, debido a que sus patrimonios culturales y ecológicos son muy sensibles y podrían perjudicar su identidad y funcionalidad. El proceso de integración del turismo dentro de una estrategia integral de desarrollo rural debe ser un proceso coordinado por todos los actores de una comunidad.

Effect of Cation Exchange on the Kinetics of Thermal Amorphization of Zeolite X
Authors: Azar Ayda , Wondraczek Lothar
Published: December 2024

Thermal collapse of crystalline zeolites offers a way to obtain glasses in chemical regimes that are inaccessible by classical melt quenching. Thereby, the charge-balancing cations located within the zeolitic framework play an important role in determining structural stability and the dynamics of collapse. Here, we use ion exchange in aqueous solution to create a consistent variety of alkali, alkaline earth and transition-metal containing derivatives of the faujasitic Zeolite X. We subsequently explore the effect of cation species on the thermal stability and the collapse dynamics, revealing a systematic decrease of zeolite stability with increasing cation electronegativity, but a more complex correlation for the apparent activation energy of the collapse reaction.
Multi-Modal Traffic Simulation Calibration and Integration with Real-Time Hardware in Loop Simulator

Published: December 2024

The ongoing research in intelligent transport systems and connected and automated vehicles, enabled by advancements in artificial intelligence, integrating traffic simulations has become an essential part of product/software development for the automotive industry. Nowadays, traffic simulations are used to mimic real-world environment scenarios for virtual testing of advanced transportation technologies. With the increase in data collection methods for traffic flow, the calibration of the microscopic traffic simulations has emerged as an important research area. The underlying question in traffic modeling is how accurately simulations can mimic the real environment traffic flow conditions? This paper attempts to create a framework for microscopic traffic simulation calibration procedure which can be scaled for large networks. This paper makes the following major contributions. First, a calibration framework is proposed which harnesses the existing data set collected from The Ohio State University (OSU) campus bus service (CABS) busses using Global Positioning System (GPS) sensors to determine the traffic state in the real environment and create a microscopic traffic simulation. The traffic simulation is implemented for a section of the OSU campus (“Woody Hayes Drive") in an open-source traffic simulator – Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO). The traffic flow generation is probabilistic to introduce variability between scenarios. The second contribution is the development of a communication interface between real-time dSpace ASM Hardware in Loop setup with SUMO to create a complete real-time simulation of urban environments for advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) virtual testing. Ademonstration scenario is the Ohio State University campus network with traffic demand generated using the calibrated model from the first part of the work.
Participatory Development Communication Strategy of an Urban Farming Program in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Prastyanti Shinta , Wulandari Retno , Iman Sulaiman Adhi
Published: December 2024

Participatory development communication strategies to enhance local food security in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, have made substantial progress through urban farming initiatives. This study examines how these strategies contribute to improving local food security by analyzing urban farming programs initiated by the city government. Urban farming, as a key innovation, has become increasingly important due to diminishing arable land and the need for sufficient nutritional intake in both quantity and quality, necessitating active community involvement. The research employs observations and in-depth interviews with leaders and members of farmers’ groups, agricultural extensions, and the local Department of Agriculture and Food staff, reinforced by focus group discussions. Findings indicate that the communication strategy, rooted in a bottom-up participatory development communication approach from planning through evaluation, embodies community empowerment, making the success and sustainability of the program a shared responsibility. Despite some accomplishments, the initiative has not yet been adopted by all community members. The harvest is also limited to daily needs and has not greatly improved group members’ income. The key to participatory development communication in the urban farming program is regularly scheduled meetings held by farmer groups as a participatory medium to manage activities.

organic inquiry into the psycho-spiritual dynamics of pro-ecological behaviour
Authors: Prendeville Stacy
Published: December 2024

The unfolding ecological crisis, driven by human actions and unsustainable consumerism, reflects a disconnection from our ecological interdependence. This research adopted a transpersonal ecopsychological perspective to investigate the psychological, emotional, and spiritual factors underlying pro-ecological behaviour. Employing the qualitative and transpersonal approach of Organic Inquiry, it explored the experiences of six individuals who are actively engaged in pro-ecological work and relates the ecological crisis facing the planet to a crisis within the human psyche. Findings centred around the use of storytelling, combining a creative synthesis of the interviews within an imaginal story alongside the analysis of the interviews. The emerging themes reflect a complex interplay of factors in pro-ecological behaviour, catalysed by critical thinking through an ecological lens. Grief and suffering were revealed as significant factors, but above all, the findings underscore an experiential hope embedded in the role of stewardship, suggesting that pro-ecological efforts can yield a profound sense of interconnectedness with the universe. Findings suggest that by applying this perspective through an ecological lens, we can better understand and promote a sense of qualitative abundance, fostering a more harmonious and meaningful relationship with the Earth.

Authors: 張芳全 張芳全
Published: December 2024

本研究探討學生家庭經濟社會文化地位(ESCS)與數學素養關聯的效果量，以及國民所得對於學生的家庭 ESCS 與數學素養關聯的效果量影響。從 2022 年國際學生能力評量計劃蒐集 78 個國家(包括臺灣)的 557,754 名樣本。後設分析顯示:78國家的家庭 ESCS 與數學素養關聯之平均效果量為 0.38，屬低度效果，其中 3 個國家的家庭 ESCS 與數學素養關聯效果量高於 0.50，最高的國家為斯洛乏克；64 個國家的效果量在 0.31 至 0.49，11 個國家低於 0.30。臺灣的效果量為 0.41，解釋變異量在 16.56%。效果量最低的是柬埔寨與烏茲別克各為 0.09 及 0.14。歐洲、美洲、亞洲、大洋洲國家具有明顯效果量。歐洲、美洲及大洋洲都高於亞洲國家，亞洲國家的效果量最低。各國國民所得愈高，家庭 ESCS 與數學素養關聯的效果量愈大。這說明了提升國民所得會讓家庭 ESCS 與數學素養關聯效果量提高。學校要提升學生數學素養應注意學生家庭學習資源，而政府應從提升國民所得來因應。

 

This study explores the effect size of the association between students’ economic, social and cultural status (ESCS) and mathematics literacy, and the effect size of national income on the association between students’ ESCS and mathematics literacy. 557,754 samples from 78 countries (including Taiwan) were collected from the Program for International Student Assessment (2022). The meta-analysis showed that the average effect size of the association between ESCS and mathematics literacy in 78 countries was 0.38, which was a low effect size. Among them, the effect size of the association between ESCS and mathematics literacy in 3 countries was higher than 0.50. The highest country is Slovak; 64 countries had effect sizes between 0.31 and 0.49, and 11 countries had effect sizes below 0.30. The effect size of Taiwan was 0.41, and the explained variation is 16.56%. The lowest effect sizes were found in Cambodia and Uzbekistan, which were 0.09 and 0.14 respectively. The effect sizes for countries in Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania had significant effects. The Europe, America and Oceania were higher than those in Asian countries, with Asian countries having the lowest effect sizes. The higher the national income of country, the larger the effect size associated with ESCS and mathematics literacy. Representing national income will increase the effect size of the correlation between students’ ESCS and mathematics literacy. If schools want to improve students’ mathematics literacy, they should pay attention to students’ home learning resources, and the government should improve national income.

This study investigates how literary works are selected and compiled by editors, who are also called "professionals" by Lefevere, to represent a writer’s translated monograph or various writers’ collocations as well as anthologies and what translation strategies are applied or employed to edit and render an English anthology of Taiwan literature. Therefore, developed on Even-Zohar’s translation poetics in/from Polysystem, this study is established on the framework of Lefevere’s theoretical concept of "translation as rewriting", to explore what translation poetics are introduced by and constructed with selected literary translations by editors, to build up the image of Taiwan (literature) for the target readers and to advocate the re-construed poetics in the target literary system. Moreover, the difference and the influence of the poetics developed in the original literary system are discussed with those built up by the translations of anthologies of Taiwanese literature in the target literary system.

Tainan Nanshan Cemetery has a history of nearly 400 years and is the oldest cemetery in Taiwan. With an area of nearly 100 hectares, it is the largest cemetery in Taiwan. There are currently four ancient tombs from the Ming and Qing dynasties, which are designated as municipal historic sites. Nanshan Cemetery, also known as Nanshan, is located on the southwest edge of the Tainan Plateau. Bamboo Creek winds through it, which has eroded many "Feng Shui treasures" featuring rugged terrain surrounded by mountains and rivers. With good Feng Shui, many families in Tainan, including famous ones, bury their ancestors in Nanshan. Since each tomb tells the history of Tainan, Nanshan is not only an actual tomb museum and a cultural treasure of the city, but also an indispensable page in Tainan studies. Nanshan has many dimensions that can be discussed in depth, but due to space limitations, this paper will only analyze the humanities aspect of it. Furthermore, Nanshan, where the ancestors rest, and Fucheng City, where the living lives, have resided adjacent to each other in peace and harmony for four hundred years, but in recent years, the Tainan Municipal Government has been eager to develop it. The issue of Nanshan development, at a time when the 2024 "Tainan 400" celebrations are being held is even more worthy of exploration, so this work analyzes the humanistic connotations of Nanshan based on local chronicles and recent works on Nanshan. Because of the rich data collected from previous generations, this article can highlight the humanistic characteristics of Nanshan Cemetery.

 
Total hip arthroplasty preoperative planning for childhood hip disorders’ sequelae: Focus on developmental dysplasia of the hip
Authors: Gill Saran S , Pace Valerio
Published: December 2024

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) poses significant challenges in both childhood and adulthood, affecting up to 10 per 1000 live births in the United Kingdom and United States. While newborn screening aims to detect DDH early, missed diagnoses can lead to severe complications such as hip dysplasia and early onset osteoarthritis in adults. Treatment options range from less invasive procedures like hip-preserving surgery to more extensive interventions such as total hip arthroplasty (THA), depending on the severity of the condition. Preoperative planning plays a critical role in optimizing surgical outcomes for DDH patients undergoing THA. This includes accurate imaging modalities, precise measurement of acetabular bone stock, assessment of femoral head subluxation, and predicting prosthesis size and leg length discrepancy. Recent advancements artificial intelligence and machine learning offer promising tools to enhance preoperative planning accuracy. However, challenges remain in validating these technologies and integrating them into clinical practice. This editorial highlights the importance of ongoing research to refine preoperative strategies and improve outcomes in DDH management through evidence-based approaches and technological innovations.
Regulatory gaps in India’s medical device framework: The case of Johnson and Johnson’s faulty hip implants
Authors: Menon Vidya
Published: December 2024

The Johnson and Johnson faulty hip implant case represents one of the most significant crises in medical device history, impacting nearly 93000 patients worldwide. In response to alarming failure rates and a global recall in August 2010, countries such as Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom quickly implemented revision surgeries and reimbursement programs to protect patient safety. In stark contrast, India's response was alarmingly delayed; defective implants continued to be sold even after the global recall. By the time the import license was revoked, and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization issued a recall notice, these implants had already been involved in 4700 surgeries across India. This paper explores the systemic weaknesses in India’s medical device regulatory framework that contributed to this delayed action, resulting in many patients suffering from serious health complications. It highlights deficiencies in monitoring and reporting mechanisms, inadequate regulatory oversight, and insufficient approval processes. Furthermore, the inability to trace affected patients and provide necessary compensation underscores significant gaps in regulation. Although subsequent legislative reforms were introduced, this paper argues that substantial loopholes remain, posing risks for future incidents. Thus, urgent, comprehensive, and enforceable regulatory measures are needed to increase patient safety.

Authors: Ishibashi Yuki , Kobayashi Hiroshi , Ando Toshihiko , Okajima Kouichi , Oki Takahiro , Tsuda Yusuke , Shinoda Yusuke , Sawada Ryoko , Tanaka Sakae
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Accurate data on the prognosis of bone metastases are necessary for appropriate treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are widely used in the treatment of gene mutation-negative non-small cell lung cancer (GMN-NSCLC).

AIM

To investigate the prognostic factors in patients with bone metastases from GMN-NSCLC following ICI use.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study included 45 patients with GMN-NSCLC who were treated for bone metastases from 2017 to 2022 and received chemotherapy after diagnosis. Using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models, we evaluated the association between overall survival (OS) and clinical parameters, including serum biochemical concentrations and blood cell count.

RESULTS

Univariate analysis showed that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 1 and the use of ICIs and bone-modifying agents after bone metastasis diagnosis were significantly associated with a favorable OS. Multivariate analysis revealed that ICI use after bone metastasis diagnosis was signiﬁcantly associated with a favorable OS.

CONCLUSION

ICI use after bone metastasis diagnosis may be a favorable prognostic factor in patients with bone metastases of GMN-NSCLC. Consideration of ICI treatment for bone metastasis and GMN-NSCLC is warranted to establish a more accurate predictive nomogram for patients with bone metastasis.
Ipsilateral Rockwood type V acromioclavicular joint dislocation and midshaft clavicle fracture: A case report
Authors: Korkoman Abdulrahman Jalwi , Alhamodi Abdullah , Alrusayni Saleh , Almalki Mohammed Musaed
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Clavicle fractures are among the most common fractures seen in the emergency department. While acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are much less common. However, ipsilateral combinations of these injuries are quite rare with only a few cases reported in the literature.

CASE SUMMARY

A 29-year-old man who sustained a combination of ipsilateral AC joint dislocation and midshaft clavicle fracture. He underwent open reduction and plate fixation of the clavicle fracture, as well as semi-rigid surgical implants used to restore both the AC ligaments and the coracoclavicular joint. one year follow-up revealed that the patient had a complete range of motion and excellent shoulder scores. This case presents a rare presentation of such combination of injuries, contributing valuable insights to the literature on such rare injuries.

CONCLUSION

Combined midshaft clavicle fractures and AC joint dislocations are considered quite rare. Timely diagnosis of such injuries leads to great functional outcomes. AC joint dislocation should be suspected with midshaft clavicle fractures and should be investigated radiologically and clinically in an appropriate manner. Still, there is no consensus on the optimal management of such injuries.

Authors: Zhang Dan , Gan Li-Ying , Zhang Wen-Jie , Shi Ming , Zhang Liang , Zhang Yong , Liu Ming-Wei
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Cervical spine pyogenic infection (CSPI) is a rare and challenging form of spinal infection that is typically caused by pyogenic bacteria and primarily affects the cervical vertebral bodies and surrounding tissues. Given its nonspecific symptoms, such as fever and neck pain, early diagnosis is crucial to prevent severe complications, including spinal cord injury. We report a previously unreported case of acute CSPI arising from chronic paronychia, exploring its diagnostic and therapeutic challenges through a review of the current literature.

CASE SUMMARY

The presented case involved a 15-year-old man with CSPI caused by Staphylococcus aureus , which led to complications including bacteremia and a paronychia-associated abscess. Acute pyogenic infection was initially diagnosed by typical symptoms and blood culture. Fever improved after antibiotic treatment while developing progressive limbs dysfunction. Six days after admission, the patient underwent anterior cervical debridement + autogenous iliac bone graft fusion + plate internal fixation and received 12 weeks of antibiotic treatment after the operation. Re-examination 3 years postoperatively showed that the patient had stable cervical fixation, no significant neck pain or upper limb abnormalities, and normal urinary function.

CONCLUSION

Early imaging findings, laboratory markers, and timely antibiotic treatment are crucial for CSPI management, preventing complications and facilitating recovery.

Published: December 2024

Histoplasma capsulatum, the causative agent of histoplasmosis, is an uncommon systemic fungal illness that represents significant health risks to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHV), especially those who are residents in endemic regions like Brazil. While oral histoplasmosis is rare, this observation can serve as a significant indicator of compromised immunological state, particularly in those with low numbers of TCD4+ cells. This study intends to examine recent literature on oral histoplasmosis and to provide a case of oral manifestations as the first indication of disseminated histoplasmosis in a young woman recently diagnosed with HIV.

A rare disease affects up to 65 people per 100,000 or 1.3 per 2,000 individuals. These diseases present a variety of signs and symptoms that can vary between individuals and often resemble more common conditions, complicating early diagnosis. Rare diseases are typically chronic, progressive, and fatal, severely impacting the quality of life. They may lead to the loss of autonomy in basic functions such as walking, eating, or breathing, resulting in clinical and psychosocial suffering for both patients and their families. Most rare diseases are incurable, with treatment focused on managing symptoms, preventing progression, and reducing complications. Treatment is often handled by multidisciplinary teams. Oral care depends on the patient's overall condition and should follow standardized protocols where available, tailored to the patient's specific needs. Genetic alterations are the cause of most rare diseases, with 75% diagnosed in childhood. Many of these diseases present oral manifestations, making it crucial for pediatric dentists to recognize their significance for early diagnosis, patient referral, and treatment. Given the prevalence of rare diseases and their oral implications, it is essential for healthcare professionals to be knowledgeable about their management and appropriate clinical approaches. This paper aims to review basic concepts about rare diseases and their oral manifestations.

The paper presents and analysis of the composition and key biological features of the synanthropic mammal fauna of parks and urban areas of the city of Luhansk, Ukraine, with a focus on central city districts, as well as suburban areas. The urban mammal fauna of Luhansk is characterised by a high proportion of wild species, which is facilitated by the significant dismemberment of the city by a ravine system and the river valley, as well as the presence of large little-transformed areas that was formed due to the development of the city using a modular system (residential quarters) and large areas of private estate-type housing, as well as a number of summer cottages and recreational areas that are part of the city. It is characterised by the dominance of typical synanthropes, including mouse-like rodents, sedentary bats and feral carnivorans, and the regular presence of a number of ‘shadow’ groups in the communities—hedgehogs, dormice, vesper bats, martens, etc.—for which the city provides convenient shelters, but without population growth. A total of 46 mammal species have been recorded, of which the stable core (including stray carnivorans) consists of 15 species, including 6 species in the central areas. In terms of the range of species of this group and their abundance, the fauna of Luhansk does not fundamentally differ from the synanthropic fauna of other Ukrainian cities, including the Kyiv megapolis. The synanthropic complex is characterised by a relatively small proportion of hedgehogs (Erinaceus roumanicus), a clear dominance of two alien bat species (Eptesicus lobatus, Pipistrellus lepidus), regular presence of synanthropic rodents (primarily Mus musculus) and rodents prone to synanthropy (Dryomys nitedula), shrews (Crocidura suaveolens) and carnivorans (Martes foina), the presence of introduced species (Ondatra zibethicus), and the existence of a number of species ‘trapped’ by the city, non-synanthropic species, including rodents (Spalax microphthalmus, Microtus levis, and Mus spicilegus), carnivorans (Vulpes vulpes, Vormela peregusna), and bats (Plecotus auritus, Myotis aurascens). The share of non-native species in the core group is 100% (6 species in total), and 67% in the ‘associated fauna’ group (15 species in total).
