Laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy for the treatment of bile duct injuries in difficult scenarios (with video)
Authors: Pinsak Agustin , Gielis Manuel , Viscido Germán , Doniquian Alejandro M. , Alvarez Fernando A.
Published: August 2022

Open Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (RYHJ) is the treatment of choice for bile duct injuries (BDI) sustained during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Although in recent years the mini-invasive approach has been explored at expert centers, laparoscopic RYHJ for challenging surgical scenarios has rarely been attempted. We herein report two cases of RYHJ for BDI in highly complex surgical scenarios, such as right posterior BDI or failure of previous repairs, with special emphasis on the technical aspects through the embedded videos. The first was an intraoperative repair in a 55-year-old female who suffered a Strasberg type C (transection of the aberrant right hepatic duct) thermal lesion. The second was an iterative repair in a 54-year-old female with a history of a Strasberg type E1 lesion (injury of the main hepatic duct more than 2 cm from the confluence) that had been repaired intraoperatively with an end-to-end anastomosis over a T-tube nine months before referral. Both patients had an uneventful recovery and were discharged four and five days after surgery. After 2.5 and 4 years of follow-up, both patients are asymptomatic and have normal imaging and laboratory tests. To our knowledge, there is no other report in the literature regarding intraoperative laparoscopic right posterior RYHJ for BDI. Laparoscopic RYHJ for BDI repair in the hands of expert laparoscopic biliary surgeons is feasible and safe, even in very challenging surgical scenarios, as herein reported, offering the benefits of mini-invasive surgery. Future high-quality and long-term comparative studies are necessary to elucidate its potential superiority against the standard open approach.
Financial literacy in South African healthcare professionals: An unmet need in health professions education
Authors: A. Millen , A. Stacey
Published: August 2022

The holistic training of healthcare professionals as a strategy to build the healthcare system has received considerable attention. As part of training a holistic workforce, it is expected the healthcare professionals be component in management and governance. Financial literacy is low globally and impacts financial decision-making and business management. Despite high levels of education, medical professionals elsewhere in the world have low financial literacy. Financial literacy levels in South African healthcare professionals are unknown. This study investigated the degree of and contributors to financial literacy in South African healthcare professionals. A validated financial literacy questionnaire was completed by 473 healthcare professionals, of whom 130 owned private practices. Financial literacy scores were determined as a composite score based on financial knowledge, financial behaviour and financial attitudes. The independent contribution of demographic factors to financial literacy were determined in multivariate linear regression analysis. Financial literacy in healthcare professionals was relatively high (73%). Of the total cohort 24%, 27% and 63% did not reach acceptable scores for financial knowledge, behaviour, and attitudes, respectively. Sex, medical specialty and being in private healthcare predicted financial knowledge scores. Higher income and self-rated financial knowledge were associated with financial literacy. In business owners, business-specific financial literacy was low (51%), and not associated with general financial literacy (r=-0.11, p=0.40). Education in economics and finance predicted business-related financial literacy scores (p=0.02). Financial attitudes that favour the short term may impact financial decision-making in healthcare professionals in managing small businesses and state healthcare facilities. Current approaches in health professions education may impact the success of the healthcare system in South Africa.

Work-Integrated Learning for lecturers at a TVET college in the Western Cape
Authors: L. J. Oosthuizen , J. Spencer , A. Chigano
Published: August 2022

TVET colleges in South Africa are primarily tasked with preparing students for the workplace. However, employers noted dissatisfaction in the skills and abilities of students entering the workplace. A possible reason for the poor preparation of students may have been found in past research. The curriculum at TVET colleges, as elsewhere in higher education, is very Eurocentric and theoretical in nature. The need for decolonisation of the curriculum thus arises. A decolonized curriculum prepares students to work in a variety of social contexts and considers issues like poverty, inequality and unemployment. A decolonized curriculum needs to include content and context derived from local sources, and need to connect theory with practice. It is thus expected of TVET lecturers to interpret and link theoretical content from the curriculum to the needs of local sources, workplaces and industry. TVET lecturers thus need to have knowledge and experiences from a variety of backgrounds. Past research indicated certain lecturers lack workplace experience and qualifications. It was found that intermediate and FET (grade 10‒11) qualified teachers and graduates from universities who lack workplace experience are employed at TVET colleges. Lecturers who lack workplace experience may find it difficult to link content with the needs of the industry for which they have to prepare their students and may not know how to link theory with practice during lessons. Teaching and learning at TVET colleges require concrete experiences and deliberate encounters. Actual, concrete experiences change the perspectives of students and lecturers and affects them profoundly, which can be seen as a pedagogic piligrimage (Davids and Waghid 2019, 7). To address the latter, SSACI, a Swiss-South African initiative launched a work-integrated learning (WIL) project to identify lecturers that are only equipped with a teaching qualification and lack workplace experience. The work-integrated learning program flared up lecturer’s experience of work-integrated learning and increased motivation and enthusiasm, as they were able to integrate the examples learned from the workplace, to make lessons and lesson preparation more interesting. In addition, lecturers were able to tell students what to expect after graduation when they enter the workplace. A factor that negatively influences the effectiveness of work-integrated learning is the lack of policy supporting the program.
STREET FOOD TOUR EXPERIENCE, SATISFACTION AND BEHAVIOURAL INTENTION: EXAMINING EXPERIENCE ECONOMY MODEL
Authors: Rewtrakunphaiboon Walaiporn , Sawangdee Yothin
Published: August 2022

Purpose – This study examines whether and how the experience economy model can explain street food tour experiences and the role of street food tour experiences on satisfaction and behavioural intention. Design/Methodology – Data were collected from online reviews to gain insight into actual street food tour experiences. Quantitative content analysis was used to analyze textual data. Findings – Results indicated that the four realms of experience economy model could be used to explain street food tour experiences. In addition, the fifth realm, exploration, emerged in street food tour experiences. Positive street food tour experiences led to satisfaction, intention to re-visit, and willingness to recommend. Originality of the research – Interest in street food tours has increased, but there is still limited understanding of their activities and tourists’ actual experiences. This study explored an application of the four realms of the experience economy model in the context of street food tours and an existing argument about the fifth realm beyond the model. These issues remain the research gaps in food tourism research. The study provides insight into the role of street food tours in tourism experiences, satisfaction, and behavioural intention.

Development of Acacia hybrid is important to be done due to their superiority such as high productivity, good wood quality, more tolerance to pest/disease and adaptive to marginal sites, although its wood durability to wood-destroyer organism attacks is still unknown yet. This study aimed to observe the wood natural durability of Acacia hybrid to drywood termites (Cryptotermes cynocephalus Light.) attack. The wood samples used were taken from 6 years old trees of Acacia hybrid in Wonogiri, Central Java. The experimental design used is completely randomized design using two factors, axial and radial of wood section with the number of trees as replication.Parameters measured were extractive content, termite mortality and wood mass loss.The results showed that the axial section of wood significantly affected the wood extractive content at the level of 0.01, while termite mortality and the mass loss of wood were not significantly affected by the wood section. The largest average percentages of termite mortality and mass loss of wood found on the middle of wood section (96.67%) and near the bark (1.14%) respectively. Based on this result, the Acacia hybrid wood is categorized as very durable wood and potential to be developed as raw material for solid wood-based industries
Nowcasting Severity of Thunderstorm Associated with Strong Wind Flow Over Indian
Subcontinent: Resource Lightning Surges
Authors: Pandit Shreya , Mishra Savitesh , Mittal Ashish , Devrani Anil Kumar
Published: August 2022

Lightning Detection Systems (LDS) have a vital role in the real-time
identification of the location of lightning strikes for the purpose of weather
forecasting and issuing warning with sufficient lead time for safe operations. The
spatial and temporal distribution of lightning, formulated using LDS observations, can
be an objective input to infer and refine the climatology of Thunderstorm (TS) over a
region. This study uses the data of Indian Air Force (IAF) LDS network to prepare
climatological plots of lightning over India and to formulate location-specific TS
guidance for a total of 12 Indian airports. The analysis of climatological plots reveals
that there is a distinct warm-season preponderance of lightning strikes over Indian
subcontinent, with pre-monsoon months receiving the maximum lightning. The most probable
time of occurrence being 1200-1400 UTC during all the seasons across the country.
Location-specific TS guidance not only signifies the most probable direction of
occurrence of TS with respect to the airport, but also clearly brings out the favourable
direction of movement. Hence, the same can be judiciously used as nowcasting aid coupled
with actual LDS and Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) observations. Further, the
characteristics features of lightning, like surges in flash rate, can be objectively
used to define a predictor for nowcasting severe weather associated with a TS cloud. The
study of these surges in lightning flash rate visa vis occurrence of Strong Surface
Winds (SSW) > 60 kmph over Delhi National Capital Region(NCR), indicated that there
is an increase in the number of lightning flashes prior to the occurrence of SSW. 77.5 %
occurrences are preceded by surges in flash rate within 45 minutes of the occurrence of
SSW, however, the probability of detection of the event with a lead time of 15 to 45
minutes is around 71%.

Climatological data with unreliable or missing values is an important area of
research, and multiple methods are available to fill in missing data and evaluate data
quality. Our study aims to compare the performance of different methods for estimating
missing values that are explicitly designed for precipitation and multipurpose
hydrological data. The climate variable used for the analysis was daily precipitation.
We considered two different climate and orographic regions to evaluate the effects of
altitude, precipitation regime and percentage of missing data on the Mean Absolute Error
of imputed values and using a homogeneity evaluation of meteorological stations. We
excluded from the analysis meteorological stations with more than 25% missing data. In
the semi-arid region, ReddPrec (optimal for 9 stations), and GCIDW (optimal for 8) were
the best performing methods for the 23 stations, with average MAE values of 1.63 mm/day
and 1.46 mm/day, respectively. In the humid region, GCIDW was optimal in ~59% of
stations, EM in ~24%, and ReddPrec in ~17%, with average MAE values of ~6.0 mm/day, 6.5
mm/day and ~9.8 mm/day, respectively. This research makes an important contribution to
identifying the most appropriate methods to impute daily precipitation in different
climatic regions of Mexico based on efficiency indicators and homogeneity

An annual mean temperature map was calculated using the Kriging interpolation method for the north-central zone of Mexico to obtain the current aridity, as well as possible scenarios for the near and distant future. The altitudinal gradient was estimated by linear regression, and it was used to estimate the mean temperature. Climate Influence Areas (CIA) were obtained by superimposing the official precipitation layer and the annual mean temperature layer using Geographic Information Systems tools. Monthly databases of climatic variables were generated for each CIA and potential evapotranspiration was estimated using the Thorthwaite methodology. The Aridity Index (AI) was calculated and mapped for a base scenario (1970-2000). Subsequently, the aridity behavior of some scenarios was projected and mapped using the global climate models HADGEM 2.0, GFDLCM 3.0, MIP_ESM, and CRNMCM5. Under the best scenario projected, aridity will weaken the humid ecosystems and in the worst scenario, hyper-arid climates will appear in the study region.
Atomic Structure and Binding of Carbon Atoms
Authors: Ali Mubarak
Published: August 2022

Many studies discuss carbon-based materials because of the versatility of carbon elements. Depending on the processing conditions of a carbon precursor, carbon changes the state behavior. The electron transfer mechanism occurred to convert carbon from one state to another. In conversion, the dash-shaped energy bits involved transferring electrons to nearby unfilled states. The involved dash-shaped energy has partially conserved behavior. A transferring electron is also under the partially conserved forces. Carbon atoms partially evolve partially develop structures of one dimension, two dimensions, and four dimensions, respectively, when in the graphite, nanotube, and fullerene states. These carbon state atoms are bound from the earlier involved dash-shaped energy bits. A graphite structure under the attained dynamics of atoms only is also formed but in two dimensions or amorphous carbon. Here, force energy, the chemical in nature, together contribute. The structural formations in diamond, lonsdaleite, and graphene state atoms involve different shaped bits of energy. The bit of energy has a shape like a golf stick. By involving four bits of golf-stick-shaped energy, all four electrons of the outer ring of the depositing diamond state atom undertake an additional clamp of all four energy knots of the outer ring of the deposited diamond state atom. A depositing diamond state atom binds to the deposited diamond state atom from the east-west surface to the south. Growth is from the south to the east-west surface, so the structure of diamond is a tetra-electron topological structure. The lonsdaleite state atoms bind from the surface east-west to a bit south. However, in glassy carbon, the layers of gaseous, graphite, and lonsdaleite state atoms bind simultaneously. The order of these layers repeats in the growth process of glassy carbon. The carbon-based materials also study Mohs hardness.
Collective and Universal Consciousness: Is Individuality an Evolutionary Accident?
Authors: De Angelis Alessandro
Published: August 2022

We propose a novel interpretation of consciousness and an enlarged definition of locality, which provide a solution to the problem of the consistency of measurements in quantum mechanics: consciousness is a characteristics of the Universe as a whole. Besides its physical conse- quences, this interpretation has also moral implications: individuality comes out naturally to be just an accident functional to evolution which shaped past and present history through competition, and re- alizing this fact should enforce cooperation.

Corporate identity has played a vital role in the Halal industry to create a strong foundation for its reputation in the long run. This paper used two modeling analyses for two different data. The first analysis aims to predict the relationship between Corporate Identity Management between Internal Brand and Employee Brand Support (consequence) mediated by CIM using partial-least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). A total of 206 employees from Malaysia’s Halal food SMEs took part in the survey. The second analysis to identify topic proportions patterns using the topic modeling approach on Halal brand identity Machine learning approach of knowledge mining was applied for this analysis. Metadata of 1,091 articles were mined from the Scopus database on Halal studies across all social sciences fields. The result revealed that there was a partial relationship between Internal Brand (antecedent) and Employee Brand Support (consequence) mediated by CIM. This finding was supported by the identified topic proportions patterns from the topic modeling approach that pointed out a weak topic proportion on the Halal brand identity discussion globally, interestingly the result also found that the Halal brand identity discussion involving the Halal food industry is almost non-existed in Malaysia’s Halal food SMEs. The contributions of this paper were apparent in three major areas which are methodology, theoretical and future suggestions. The utilization of two different model analyses was able to confirm the consistency of the major findings with the literature review which opens up more possibilities for future researchers.
How Do We Connect Brain Areas with Cognitive Functions? The Past, Present and the Future
Authors: Verma Khushboo , Kumar Satwant
Published: August 2022

It is one of the central goals of cognitive neuroscience to understand how structure and function relate in the brain. We review how cognitive function characterization has been approached in the past. In addition, we examine the ongoing efforts, as well as the implications for the future. Clinical studies on patients with lesions have provided key insights into the relationship between brain areas and behavior over the past century. We describe cognitive function according to localization considering these early efforts for characterization. We chose a perceptual-cognitive function, namely body perception, to describe our current efforts. Using body perception as an example, we summarize contemporary techniques. Finally, we outline the trajectory of current progress into the future and discuss the implications for clinical and basic neuroscience.

Published: August 2022

The objective of this research is to establish a better understanding of the current landscape of digital learning research and sustainable development by using CiteSpace. First, we retrieved published publications from the Web of Science (2004–2022). Following that, we examined the primary research strengths and important subjects of digital learning from two perspectives: collaboration networks (including collaborative networks across countries, institutions, and authors) and co-citation networks. We examined the co-citation network from three perspectives: cluster analysis, the most active citers, top references. Furthermore, referenced journals, popular themes, and rising trends were examined. These findings indicate the primary study subjects in the field of digital learning, the most intriguing research literature, and each period's emerging research hotspots. Finally, we proposed further study ideas for future paths.
SynthWakeSAR: A Synthetic SAR Dataset for Deep Learning Classification of Ships at Sea
Authors: Rizaev Igor G. , Achim Alin
Published: August 2022

The classification of vessel types in SAR imagery is of crucial importance for maritime applications. However, the ability to use real SAR imagery for deep learning classification is limited, due to the general lack of such data and/or the labor-intensive nature of labeling them. Simulating SAR images can overcome these limitations, allowing the generation of an infinite number of datasets. In this contribution, we present a synthetic SAR imagery dataset with ship wakes, which comprises 46080 images for ten different real vessel models. The variety of simulation parameters includes 16 ship heading directions, 6 ship velocities, 8 wind directions, 2 wind velocities, and 3 incidence angles. In addition, we extensively investigate classification performance for noise-free, noisy, and denoised ship wake scenes. We utilize the standard AlexNet architecture and employ training from scratch. To achieve the best classification performance, we conduct Bayesian optimization to determine hyperparameters. Results demonstrate that the classification of vessel types based on their SAR signatures is highly efficient, with maximum accuracies of 96.16%, 92.7%, and 93.59%, when training using noise-free, noisy, and denoised datasets respectively. Thus, we conclude that the best strategy in practical applications should be to train convolutional neural networks on denoised SAR datasets. The results show that the versatility of the SAR simulator can open up new horizons in the application of machine learning to a variety of SAR platforms.
