Authors: ALI Yousaf , SABIR Muhammad
Published: July 2022

This study proposes the use of multi-criteria decision models (MCDM) for transportation mode-route choice decisions. This method is beneficial when trips' microdata are unavailable. Route-mode choice decisions were investigated for three public transportation modes (buses, railways, and airlines) in the post-China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) investment in Pakistan Railways (PR) for a link between Peshawar and Karachi. TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) was used for the mode choice decisions and a hybrid model of AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Approach) – TOPSIS was used for the route choice decision ML-1 link of PR. This study concludes that rails were the best mode of transportation in post-CPEC investment. Furthermore, route 3, linking Karachi to Peshawar via Lodhran, Multan, and Miniawali, is the best route connection among the four considered routes.

Authors: SZCZUCKA-LASOTA Bożena , WĘGRZYN Tomasz
Published: July 2022

Telecommunication, transport and civil engineering play an important role in new research areas. New antennas based on innovative materials are being developed. At the same time, the methods of antenna mounting with the use of high-strength materials to ensure high structural rigidity with the lowest possible weight are being planned. These materials include AHSS steels with ultimate tensile strength (UTS) up to 1700 MPa and elevated yield point (YS); however, welded joints made of these steels have much worse mechanical properties, compared to the native materials. In this paper, it was planned to test the MAG welding of DOCOL 1400M steel (AHSS group). Directly after welding, a micro-jet joint cooling was applied. It was determined to create thin-walled joints that could be used in the formation of antenna mounts.
GOOD PRACTICES IN THE CARGO PREPARATION PROCESS IN INTERMODAL TRANSPORT
Authors: WARCZEK Jan , WÓJAK Rafał
Published: July 2022

Increasing exports of goods between countries over long distances and increasing amounts of cargo generated by ports and transported on roads and railways require the organization of cargo transportation using several modes of transport, forcing the construction of places (container terminals) where it is possible to reload them to other means of transportation. An important aspect of cargo transportation by intermodal transport is its proper securing with the use of properly selected packaging and a loading unit. This article shows how to properly prepare cargo for transport. It also presents a diagram of the correct calculations of the permissible masses that may be in the container during transport to prevent overloading of the container and evenly distribute the load so that the reloading devices located in container terminals are not damaged during reloading to another mode of transport. Therefore, appropriate securing of the load against its displacement and damage was also selected.
AN AUTONOMOUS BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A 2017 YAMAHA GRIZZLY 700
Authors: WHEATLEY Greg , RUBEL Robiul Islam
Published: July 2022

Weed control is an important issue for environmental protection all around the world. Traditional hand weed control is laborious whereas chemical control is costly and a threat to the atmosphere. A chemical patch weed control system is an optimized system but lacks cheap technical equipment. This research outlines a design process and test of a braking system that can be applied during the designing of an autonomous braking system for a 2017 Yamaha Grizzly 700. The system is intended to be used as an autonomous weed chemical spraying. A bolt-on approach that did not require any manipulation of the stock, an internal braking system was followed to reduce the complexity and installation time of multiple systems. Three different types of autonomous braking system solutions were initially investigated, with the linear actuator solution being decided on through the assistance of a weighted decision matrix. The system was designed around a 30 kg hand force; however, a spare actuator of approximately 20 kg of force was repurposed and used instead. Finite element analysis concluded that all major components within the proposed system were suitable for a lifetime of at least 1,000,000 cycles with a mild steel yield stress failure criterion of 370 MPa. A stationary test for the system was conducted to determine the success of the system, which pushed the brake lever approximately 25% of its disengaged handlebar to lever length. The resulting system met the requirements of the expectation and could be used to apply the ATV’s brakes autonomously while retracting the gear interlocking mechanism enough to change gears.

Published: July 2022

This study presents a modified algorithm to determine the accuracy of GPS positioning in aerial navigation. To achieve this, a mixed model with measurement weights was used to determine the resultant value of accuracy of aerial vehicle positioning. The measurement weights were calculated as a function of the number of GPS tracking satellites. The calculations were performed on actual GPS measurement data recorded by two onboard GNSS receivers installed onboard a Cessna 172 aircraft. The flight test was conducted around the military airport in Dęblin. The conducted analyses demonstrated that the developed algorithm improved the accuracy of GPS positioning from 62 to 91% for horizontal coordinates and between 16-83% for the vertical component of the aerial vehicle position in the BLh ellipsoidal frame. The obtained test results show that the developed method improves the accuracy of aircraft position and could be applied in aerial navigation.

Authors: MANAFOV Elshan , ISGANDAROV Islam , HUSEYNOV Farid
Published: July 2022

This research was devoted to the creation of a protection system for electric motors used in industry and transport, based on modern and traditional sensors. In the course of operation, the malfunctions of electric motors have been investigated and it was found that the accident modes occur mainly due to exceeding the permissible values of the current, voltage and temperature parameters. Modern sensors of current, voltage, and temperature have been compared and the most effective ones were selected for use in electric motors. Based on reasoning from these sensors, a protection system for a low-power electric motor has been developed in the laboratory. In addition, in the Multisim application software package, a simulation of the operation of the protection system at different voltage and current values was performed, and a circuit of the sensor control unit and the power source for powering the protection system was constructed. It has been proposed to apply such a multi-parametric complex protection system for electric motors, especially in transport.

Authors: SBAIH Razan , IMAM Rana , ALHIARY Mohammad , AL-MISTAREHI Bara’
Published: July 2022

Road roughness is considered a primary indicator of pavement condition and serviceability, and the performance of paved roads is linked to road roughness. The focus of this study is to develop a relationship between two important roughness indicators, namely the international roughness index (IRI) and slope variance (SV), based on actual road roughness data to achieve a suitable correlation between these two indices using artificial neural networks (ANNa) and gene expression programming (GEP) techniques. Different study areas were selected to develop the prediction model. The first study area is the Desert Highway in Jordan, while the three remaining study areas are located in the US. A total of 533 data sets were used in this study to develop a model to predict the IRI from the SV. The GeneXproTools 5 software package was used to build the GEP model, while MATLAB 2019 was employed to develop the ANN model. The results showed that the GEP and ANN models outperformed all other previous models. The GEP-Based model showed a better performance and more precise results than the ANN model according to the coefficient of determination (R2).
EXAMINATION OF SELECTED GEOMETRICAL PARAMETERS OF WHEELSETS OF ELECTRIC MULTIPLE UNIT
Authors: GRZYWNA Maciej , SZKODA Maciej
Published: July 2022

The aim of the work is to investigate changes in the values of selected geometrical parameters of electric multiple unit (EMU) wheelsets as a function of mileage. Based on the conducted analysis of the literature, it was found that the problem of proper diagnostics and maintenance of wheelsets, as an element that directly affects the level of safety of railway vehicle traffic, is very up-to-date and justified. This work presents the characteristics of the geometrical parameters of the wheelset that were subjected to the tests. According to the terminology of EN 13715:2020-12, the geometrical parameters of the wheelset subjected to tests were characterized. As part of the research work, data from measurements of the values of the main geometrical parameters of the outer contour of the wheelsets were collected and systematized from 204 measurement sheets of vehicles. Data were collected from specially developed registers and databases. The research and analyses confirm the existence of a correlation between changes in the values of diagnostic characteristics of flange thickness and height and flange steepness as a function of kilometrage. The intensity of wheel rim wear changes depending on the conditions under which the vehicle is operated. The wheelsets’ diagnostic characteristics were not fully predictable, which makes it difficult to forecast their future values. Based on the obtained results, actions that increase the durability of the wheels were proposed. For example, it is reasonable to assign vehicles to different routes so that the wheel rims wear evenly, eliminating the need for the subsequent accumulation of repairs and wheelset replacements before repair at the P4 level. Moreover, it is advisable to undertake work on the change of identification of basic individual primary characteristics of the wheel’s external contour into primary characteristics of a collective nature. As a result of such action, it is possible to indicate the probability of occurrence of non-uniformity of values of diagnostic characteristics on the wheel circumference could be limited and the phenomenon of occurrence of measurement errors could be minimized.
HUḌŪRI (INNATE IDEA) SEBAGAI BASIS PENGETAHUAN
Authors: Annuri Qotrun Nada
Published: July 2022

Empiricism is a philosophical school that focuses knowledge only on the senses. One of the characters is John Locke. In Locke's view, he emphasized that knowledge comes from observations we make of our own surroundings with a tool called John Locke sensing, which he considers this as a white sheet of paper (tabularasa) and rejects innate ideas. Locke views reason as a passive shelter receiving the results of the senses. Locke considered what he called knowledge to be a composite of ideas derived from sensory experience. Locke generalizes to knowledge. The research aims to answer the problems that arise from Locke's view by criticizing the theory of tabularasa based on huduri science by using huduri according to Tabataba'i. as for this research using qualitative methods and literature. As for analyzing the data using a theory demonstration criticism approach. From the research that has been done by the author, it shows that huduri science is the capital for every knowledge, even for knowledge that is preceded by the senses. Because in essence knowledge is something immaterial, as for what enters the subject who knows is something immaterial too, even though the object is bound by matter. This is what is called the presence of something immaterial in the immaterial soul.

Thomas Kuhn dengan konsep revolusi ilmiahnya memiliki karakteristik pemikiran dan model ﬁlsafat baru dalam hal sejarah lahirnya ilmu pengetahuan dan ﬁlsafat sains serta peranan sejarah ilmu pengetahuan dalam mengkonstruksi ataupun merekonstruksi munculnya ilmu pengetahuan baru. Bagi Thomas Kuhn sejarah ilmu pengetahuan merupakan starting point dalam mengkaji permasalahan fundamental dalam epistemologi keilmuan karena sains pada dasarnya selalu ditandai dengan kuatnya paradigma serta revolusi ilmiah setelahnya. Fase inilah yang diistilahkan Thomas Kuhn sebagai fase sejarah lahirnya ilmu pengetahuan baru, dimulai dengan normal science, kemudian terjadi anomaly dan crisis, setelah itu barulah muncul revolusi ilmiah sebagai bentuk lahirnya ilmu pengetahuan baru. Pemikiran Thomas Kuhn tersebut dapat dikontekstualisasikan dengan pengembangan keilmuan Islam dengan tujuan membangun keterbukaan pemikiran keislaman terhadap anomali dan crisis serta munculnya revolusi dalam ilmu keislaman sehingga memotivasi munculnya paradigma baru di ranah keilmuan Islam. Berbagai pendekatan dalam studi Islam dapat digunakan seperti pendekatan normatif, historis, sosiologis, antropologis dan pendekatan lainnya dalam rangka membumikan Islam menjadi agama yang rahmatan lil alamin.

Published: July 2022

Depression continues to be a glaring global challenge. The most worrisome trend is eating up the youthful generation more than anyone could predict years back. As Addis & Martell (2004) note, these adolescents end up succumbing to conditions that can be traced wholly from depression. Behavioral activation can be a rewarding intervention that will go a long way in cutting down on these cases and ensure the youthful global population's lives are safeguarded if applied and monitored to ensure correct and collective implementation processes and systems. The insights and arguments presented in the research paper will focus on the utility of behavioral activation in reducing depression cases among adolescents.
Help Me, Symbionts, You’re My Only Hope: Approaches to Accelerate Our Understanding of Coral Holobiont Interactions
Authors: Bove Colleen , Valadez Ingersoll Maria , Davies Sarah
Published: July 2022

Tropical corals construct the three-dimensional framework for one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, providing habitat to a plethora of species across taxa. However, these ecosystem engineers are facing unprecedented challenges, such as increasing disease prevalence and marine heatwaves associated with anthropogenic global change. As a result, major declines in coral cover and health are being observed across the world's oceans, often due to the breakdown of coral-associated symbioses. Here, we review the interactions between the major symbiotic partners of the coral holobiont – the cnidarian host, algae in the Family Symbiodiniaceae, and the microbiome – that influence trait variation, including the molecular mechanisms underlie symbiosis and the resulting physiological benefits of different microbial partnerships. In doing so, we highlight the current framework for the formation and maintenance of cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, and the role that immunity pathways play in this relationship. We emphasize that understanding these complex interactions is challenging when you consider the vast genetic variation of the cnidarian host and algal symbiont, as well as their highly diverse microbiome, which is also an important player in coral holobiont health. Given the complex interactions between and among symbiotic partners, we propose several research directions and approaches focused on symbiosis model systems and emerging technologies that will broaden our understanding of how these partner interactions may facilitate the prediction of coral holobiont phenotype, especially under rapid environmental change.

Published: July 2022

Despite the increasing popularity of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based lipidomics, there is a lack of accepted and validated method for lipid extract quality and quantity assessment prior to LC-MS. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) has been reported for quantification of pure lipids, however, the sample complexity and purity complex lipid extract quantification in lipidomics experiments could be impact quantification accuracy. Here, we report comprehensive assessment of the sample matrix on the accuracy of lipid quantification using Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Pure lipids are characterized by CH-and C=O-stretching vibrations on FTIR, with quantitative range of 40–3000 ng and a limit of detection of 12 ng. Sample extraction method and local baseline subtraction during FTIR spectral processing significantly impact lipid quantification by CH-stretching. To facilitate sample quality screening, we developed the Lipid Quality (LiQ) score from a spectral library of common contaminants, using a ratio of peak heights between CH-stretching vibrations maxima and the collective vibrations from amide/amine, CH-stretching minima and sugar moieties. We evaluated LiQ score as a rapid sample quality control method by comparing to total LC-MS intensity of targeted lipidomics of 107 human plasma lipid extracts. Exclusion of poor-quality samples based on LiQ score improved the correlation between FTIR and LC-MS quantification. Finally, the uncertainty of absolute quantification by FTIR was estimated using a 795 ng SPLASH LipidoMix standard to be <10%. In summary, this study identified key parameters for accurate FTIR-based quantification of complex lipid mixture, and developed a rapid workflow requiring only 1 µL of MS-ready sample and < 5 minutes for routine lipidomics sample quality and quantity assessment.

Monkeypox is a rare disease which is rising nowadays in different countries since the first case in the UK was diagnosed on May 6, 2022, by the United Kingdom (UK) Health Security Agency. Then more than 12,500 cases were identified in over 68 countries up to July 18, 2022. In endemic areas, the monkeypox virus (MPXV) is commonly transmitted through zoonosis, while in non-endemic regions, it is spread through human-to-human transmission. Symptoms can include flu-like symptoms, rash, or sores in hands, feet, genitalia, or anus. In addition, people who did not take the smallpox vaccine were more liable to be affected than others. The exact pathogenesis and mechanisms are still unclear; however, most identified cases are reported in men who have sex with other men (MSM). According to the CDC, transmission can happen with any sexual or non-sexual contact with the infected person. However, a recent pooled meta-analysis reported that sexual contact is involved in more than 91% of the cases. Also, it is the first time that semen analysis for many patients has shown positive monkeypox virus DNA. Therefore, in this review, we will describe transmission methods for MPXV while focusing mainly on potential sexual transmission and associated sexually transmitted infections. We will also highlight the preventive measures that can limit the spread of the diseases in this regard.

Leveraging Body-Worn Camera Footage to Better Understand Opioid Overdoses and the Impact of Police-Administered Naloxone
Authors: White Michael D. , Watts Seth , Orosco Carlena , Perrone Dina , Malm Aili
Published: July 2022

Objectives. To investigate what transpires at opioid overdoses where police administer naloxone and to identify the frequency with which concerns about police-administered naloxone are observed.

Methods. We reviewed body-worn camera (BWC) footage of all incidents where a Tempe, Arizona police officer administered naloxone or was present when the Tempe Fire Medical Rescue (TFMR) administered it, from February 3, 2020 to May 7, 2021 (n = 168). We devised a detailed coding instrument and employed univariate and bivariate analysis to examine the frequency of concerns regarding police-administered naloxone.

Results. Police arrived on scene before the TFMR in 73.7% of cases. In 88.6% of calls the individual was unconscious when police arrived, but 94.6% survived the overdose. The primary concerns about police-administered naloxone were rarely observed. There were no cases of improper naloxone administration or accidental opioid exposure to an officer. Aggression toward police from an overdose survivor rarely occurred (3.6%), and arrests of survivors (3.6%) and others on scene (1.2%) were infrequent.

Conclusions. BWC footage provides a unique window into opioid overdoses. In Tempe, the concerns over police-administered naloxone are overstated. If results are similar elsewhere, those concerns are barriers that must be removed. (Am J Public Health. 2022;112(9):1326–1332. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306918 )

Parsonage-Turner Syndrome After COVID-19 Vaccination
Authors: Ghanta Ramesh B. , Karistinos Anastassios , Atassi Omar H.
Published: July 2022

Case:

One week after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in his left deltoid, a 34-year-old man developed severe right periscapular pain that lasted 2 weeks and was followed by profound right shoulder girdle atrophy and weakness. Both the pain and motor deficits resolved over the subsequent 4 months.

Conclusion:

Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is an idiopathic brachial plexopathy that can develop in the setting of recent vaccination and lead to significant shoulder pain and weakness. Given the worldwide increase in newly vaccinated patients, orthopaedic surgeons should take detailed histories to identify potential triggers (recent vaccination or illness) that point toward PTS rather than musculoskeletal pathology.

Authors: Grisdela Phillip T. , Crawford Alexander M , Evans David C , von Keudell Arvind G.
Published: July 2022

Case:

We present a 70-year-old woman with history of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with a right thigh hematoma after a corticosteroid hip injection. Aspiration of the hematoma was attempted, but she developed a significant transfusion requirement with paresthesias in a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve distribution, prompting transfer. Imaging demonstrated no active extravasation, and she was managed conservatively. At 8-month follow-up, she had a persistent consolidated hematoma on the right side, and she subsequently died of complications of her cancer.

Conclusion:

This case demonstrates an unusual complication from a common nonoperative modality, as well as important coagulopathies that must be considered in patients with leukemia.

Published: July 2022

» Pelvic sarcomas are a rare and diverse group of tumors in terms of size and histology.

» Pelvic sarcomas present a treatment challenge to the orthopaedic oncologist.

» The size and location of these tumors require a varied approach to resection and reconstruction, but the tumor’s proximity to other internal structures within the pelvis (e.g., the bladder, the iliac vessels, and the bowel) makes extrication demanding.

» The ideal treatment requires assembling a hemipelvectomy team that consists of an orthopaedic oncologist, a surgical oncologist, a urologist, a vascular surgeon, a gynecologic oncologist, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, a dedicated anesthesia team, and a dedicated rehabilitation physical therapy team. Each member can use his or her expertise to address the individual aspects of the pelvic resection and achieve the optimal oncologic and functional outcome.
Implementing Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 (a)(1) Conservation Planning During US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Coastal Engineering Projects

Published: July 2022

This technical note was developed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center–Environmental Laboratory (ERDC-EL) to provide guidance to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on implementing Endangered Species Act* (ESA) Section 7(a)(1) conservation planning, in coordination with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) during coastal engineering projects. USACE expends ~$200–$300 million each year on compliance, conservation, and other activities associated with the ESA (USACE 2022), and these expenditures often exceed those of other federal agencies (for example, US Bureau of Land Management) that have jurisdiction over far greater land holdings than USACE. To streamline the ESA compliance process, lower costs, and generate more positive outcomes for federally listed threatened and endangered species (TES), USACE was directed in June 2015 by the Deputy Commanding General (DCG) for Civil and Emergency Operations to proactively identify and incorporate conservation benefits into all projects when and where opportunities arise, under the authority of Section 7(a)(1) of the ESA (USACE 2015). The DCG identified Section 7(a)(1) conservation planning as a mechanism to efficiently achieve project purposes, create environmental value, and streamline the ESA Section 7(a)(2) consultation process.
Values-Based Physical Education and Teacher Education in South Africa
Authors: Jones Cherese Farrah , Rouw CJ
Published: July 2022

This qualitative research presents PE (Physical Education) teacher training workshops (TTW) which were developed and evaluated through the teachers’ feedback and reflections. Its goal was to create a PE programme enriched with the values of Olympism and Ubuntuism based on the idea that values-based education offers an investment in individual and societal improvement by implementing a values framework. Participatory action research was used to determine how data was collected, analysed, and presented on an ongoing, cyclical basis. The theoretical perspectives of the experiential learning theory and the cooperative learning theory were applied to teaching PE during the in-service physical education TTW. Ten PE teachers from five schools in the Tshwane District of South Africa participated as they best informed the research question and enhanced their understanding of the phenomenon under study.
The TTW assisted in building and supporting PE pedagogical knowledge as teachers critically reflected on the diversity and inclusivity of their PE class context. An examination of the wide variety of teaching strategies, specifically used during teachable moments, that were employed throughout this study could be linked to the clarification of the values of Olympism and Ubuntuism. This research developed material for PE, which underpins the set of values of Olympism and Ubuntuism as core values that were modeled by teachers and guided their work. The TTW in a values-based PE programme builds and supports the teachers’ pedagogical knowledge to plan, deliver and access quality PE. Participatory action research and its reflective practice positively influenced the teachers' PE practice as it assisted the researchers and the participating teachers in a collective, self-reflective, inquiry.
Interdecadal change in autumn rainfall over Southeast China and its association with tropical Pacific SST
Authors: Liu Kui , Chen Jilong , ZHOU Liantong , Wang Zhibiao , Liu Yong
Published: July 2022

In this paper, satellite datasets from the tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM), global precipitation climatology project (GPCP), and international satellite cloud climatology project (ISCCP) are used to reveal the interdecadal decrease in autumn rainfall in Southeast China (SEC) after 1990, along with Japan Meteorological Agency (JRA-55) reanalysis and observational rainfall datasets from the National Climate Center (NCC) of China, by means of the correlation coefficient and fast Fourier transformation (FFT) low-pass filter. The close and robust relationship between the interdecadal variation in autumn rainfall in SEC and sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific is investigated. The most significant and stable region of correlation is located in 10°S–10°N, 160°E–160°W, in which there also exists interdecadal warming after 1990. Furthermore, the interdecadal warming of SST can induce Gill responses of the atmosphere: an cyclone anomaly is produced on each side of the equator in the lower troposphere, with a westerly anomaly to the west of the dateline. However, an anticyclone anomaly is produced in the upper troposphere. In particular, the cyclone anomaly on the northern side of the equator is located in the Northwest Pacific (WNP), and its ambient northerly airflow weakens meridional water vapor transport, in favor of the interdecadal decrease in SEC rainfall after 1990, as well as the local descending motion and low-troposphere divergence. In addition, the experiments also confirm that the interdecadal warming in the region (10°S–10°N, 160°E–160°W) would motivate the atmospheric Gill response and thereby cause the sinking motion in SEC and support the interdecadal decrease in autumn rainfall in SEC.

The present study focuses on the assessment of urban heat island (UHI) and urban energy fluxes over Indianmetropolitan cities. For this purpose, a high resolution numerical Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) andacoupled single layer urban canopy model (WRF-UCM) has been implemented over Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad to evaluate the performance of these models in capturing the impact of urban areas in simulating the UHI over different land use land cover (LULC). The model initial conditions are obtained from NCEP-FNL reanalysis data. The model simulations reveal that the air temperature at 2 m height (T2) and UHIintensityareoverestimated by WRF whereas theWRF-UCM simulationsare matching well with ERA5-Land reanalysis data considered as observations. For the WRF-UCM simulation, thestatistical errorsin T2 and UHI intensity are within the desirable limits and the index of agreement (IoA) is more than 0.8 over the built-up areas (BA).By comparing with the satellite observations the relative surface UHI is noticed to better captured over the BA by WRF-UCM simulation. The sensible heat fluxsimulated by WRF is highly overestimated whereas WRF-UCM is in good agreementwith the satellite observation over the BA. Interestingly, the latent heat flux is reasonably well simulatedover all the LULC classes.The results derived from the present study have shown the performance of WRF-UCM in simulating the spatial variation of UHI and fluxes of sensible and latent heat related varied LULC classifications over metropolitan cities of India.

Our objective was to evaluate the effects of dose, start and application interval of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) on performance, health, and reproduction parameters of 180 crossbred Holstein x Gyr dairy cows (¾ and 7/8). The statistical design in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design included: application dose (250 or 500 mg) x starts of application (40 or 63 days in milk – DIM) x application interval (12 or 14 d). The treatments with 500 mg – rbST (rbST 500) resulted in increased milk production, 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM), and energy-corrected milk (ECM). In the factorial design analysis, an increase in the production of FCM, ECM, and milk solids production (kg/d) were observed when the rbST 500 started at 63 DIM, while for the animals that received 250 mg – rbST was observed increase in milk production (kg/d), FCM, ECM, and milk solids production (kg/d) when it was performed every 12 d. In rbST 500 there was an increase in the number of open days and number of services per pregnancy (P = 0.01). The Holstein-Gyr cows (¾ and 7/8) showed better response to rbST when treated with 500 mg, started at 63 DIM, and performed every 14 d.
Why Are Only Some Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Misclassified by the Social Communication Questionnaire? An Empirical Investigation of Individual Differences in Sensitivity and Specificity in a Clinic-Referred Sample

Published: July 2022

Background
The Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) is a screening checklist for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly used in research and clinical practice. While the original validation study suggested that the SCQ was an accurate ASD screener with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity, subsequent studies have yielded mixed results, with some revealing low sensitivity, low specificity, and low utility as a screening tool. However, it is unknown for whom the SCQ is effective versus ineffective as a screening tool.
Method
The present study examined the psychometric properties of the SCQ as well as the individual difference characteristics of 187 individuals with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who were misclassified or accurately classified by the SCQ in a clinical-referred sample.
Results
The SCQ showed suboptimal sensitivity and specificity, regardless of age and sex. Compared to true positives, individuals classified as false positives displayed greater externalizing and internalizing problems, whereas individuals classified as false negatives displayed better social communication and adaptive skills.
Conclusions
The findings suggest non-autistic developmental and behavioral individual difference characteristics may explain high rates of misclassification using the SCQ. The SCQ may be less useful as a screener for young children with internalizing and externalizing symptoms and other more complex clinical presentations.

Background: The relationship between the coexistence of depression and moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mortality is unclear and we aimed to investigate their relationship. Methods: We studied 24412 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2014 with mortality follow-up assessment in 2015. Four groups were created based on depression and CKD status: Group 1, no depression and no CKD; Group 2, depression present and no CKD; Group 3: no depression and CKD present; Group 4: depression present and CKD present. Moderate CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 15-59 mL/min/1.73 m2 (Stage 3-4) or one-time urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g. Depressoin was defined as the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire score of 10 or more. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate the multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of death for Group 4 with other groups. Results: Over a mean follow-up of 5.8 years, 1783 deaths were documented, including 338 deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The HR for all-cause mortality in Group 4 was 3.62 (95% CI: 2.69-4.87), 2.99 (1.92-4.66), and 1.75 (1.29-2.37) when compared with Group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The HR for CVD mortality in Group 4 was 3.89 (1.68-9.00), 1.90 (0.86-4.21), and 1.97 (1.17-3.32) when compared with Group 1, 2, and 3, respectively.Conclusions: The coexistence of depression and moderate CKD increased the risk of all-cause mortality, beyond that due to having either depression or CKD alone. Moreover, depression increases the risk of CVD mortality in individuals with moderate CKD.

Background: The social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age. Lack of SDOH training of dental providers on SDOH may result in suboptimal care provided to pediatric dental patients and their families. The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of SDOH screening and referral by pediatric dentistry residents and faculty in the dental clinics of Family Health Centers at NYU Langone (FHC), a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) network in Brooklyn, NY.Methods: Guided by the Implementation Outcomes Framework, 15 pediatric dentists and 40 pediatric dental patient–parent/guardian dyads who visited FHC in 2020-2021 for recall or treatment appointments participated in this study. The a priori feasibility and acceptability criteria for these outcomes were that after completing the Parent Adversity Scale (a validated SDOH screening tool), >80% of the participating parents/guardians would feel comfortable completing SDOH screening and referral at the dental clinic (acceptable) and >80% of the participating parents/guardians who endorsed SDOH needs would be successfully referred to an assigned counselor at the Family Support Center (feasible). The key covariate was age of the pediatric patient.Results: The mean age of the pediatric dental patients was 7.3 y (SD=3.0). Most of the participating parents/guardians were the mothers of the pediatric dental patients (87.5%) and self-reported as being Hispanic (65.0%). Post-intervention, 83.9% of the participating parents/guardians who expressed an SDOH need were successfully referred to an assigned counselor at the Family Support Center for follow-up and 95.0% of the participating parents/guardians felt comfortable completing the questionnaire at the dental clinic, surpassing the a priori feasibility and acceptability criteria, respectively. Further, while most (80.0%) of the participating dental providers reported being trained in SDOH, only one-third (33.3%) usually or always assess SDOH for their pediatric dental patients and most (53.8%) felt minimally comfortable discussing challenges faced by pediatric dental patient families and referring patients to resources in the community.Conclusions: This study provides novel evidence of the feasibility and acceptability of SDOH screening and referral by dentists in the pediatric dental clinics of an FQHC network.

Despite the diversity and functional importance of invertebrates, predicting their response to global warming remains challenging as it requires extensive measurements of physiological performance or rarely available high-resolution distribution data. Mechanistic models can help overcome these limitations by generalizing fundamental physiological processes. However, their predictions typically omit the effects of species interactions. Movement is a key process of species interactions underpinning animal performance in the real world. Here, we developed an empirically-grounded mechanistic model that incorporates allometric and thermodynamic constraints on movement and predator-prey interactions. We illustrate how it can be used to quantify the thermal performance of invertebrates under current and future climatic conditions. This trait-based approach (1) contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying thermal fitness, (2) allows generalized predictions of thermal performance across invertebrate species worldwide and (3) can be used to inform species distribution models and thereby help infer species range limits under climate change.
