Network Effectiveness and Managerial Activity: Understanding how Network Managers Respond to Changes in Structural and Contextual Factors
Authors: Bashir Mohsin , Ashfaq Marium , Khalid Zahra Ahmad
Published: September 2022

In recent decades, organizational networks have become increasingly common in public policy implementation. This paper carries out an in-depth analysis of how the behavior of organizational managers in public sector networks varies systematically with structural and contextual characteristics of the environment. To carry out our analysis, we conduct semi -structured interviews with managers in PVTC, a large government vocational training network in a developing country, Pakistan. We conclude that managers in networks operate in a complex system of vertical and horizontal hierarchies. Their efforts expended towards traditional managerial duties and networking vary with the amount of support available in the environment, accessibility to resources, age and size of their organizations. Our study contributes to the theoretical understanding of managerial behavior and is of practical use to policymakers in public organizational networks, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Even in a Pandemic, Partisanship and Capacity Matter: The Effects of Partisanship and Grant Experience in the CARES Act
Authors: Terman Jessica N.
Published: September 2022

The last two decades have seen significant growth in the use of stimulus granting (Cogan and Taylor, 2011; citation omitted). A key motivator is to combat economic decline and distress. But, more recently, these efforts have been to both mitigate economic downturn in addition to curtailing the more significant issue of COVID-19 sickness and death. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) passed truly out of an emergency in terms of both human and economic life. The question becomes whether current research on stimulus-oriented granting holds or does prompt grant spending amid the COVID-19 crisis play by different rules? Does partisan congruence between a state governor and president matter? Does having experience with intergovernmental grants and other measures of capacity make a difference? This study tests the factors that influence stimulus-oriented granting, what I also refer to as prompt spending, in the context of the CARES Act.

Authors:   Nikonov All-­Russian Institute of Agrarian Problems and Informatics, PETRIKOV A.V.
Published: September 2022

The new geopolitical conditions of Russia’s development have actualized the issues of ensuring the country’s food security, the solution of which largely depends on the sustainable development of agriculture. The Government has taken a number of measures to stabilize the situation in the agri-food sector in the short term. However, a number of medium- and long-term problems still need to be solved. The article gives a generalized description of the current model of agricultural development in Russia, its pros and cons. Strategic directions for improving agricultural policy are substantiated, including the development of the first and third spheres of the agro-industrial complex, the stimulation of small and medium-sized businesses, the adjustment of scientific, technological and innovation policies, and the diversification of the rural economy.

Despite the aggravation of the external economic situation, the preservation of the previous directions of external supplies of agricultural products, the main trends in the development of exports in the first months of this year, together with the results of the analysis of the partial equilibrium model, showed the presence of the necessary conditions, at least, to stabilize exports of agricultural products at the level of the previous year, 2021.
FORMATION OF INVESTMENT CAPITAL IN THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX OF RUSSIA IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL CHALLENGES AND THREATS
Authors:   Federal Research Center of Agrarian Economy and Social Development of Rural Areas — All-­Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Economics, MASLOVA V.V.
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the problems of investment capital formation in the agroindustrial complex of Russia in the context of global challenges and threats. The analysis of the processes of formation and use of investment capital in the agrifood sector is carried out. It is revealed that in Russia, despite the designated goals and objectives, strategic directions for the use of investment capital are significantly underfunded, which is a significant brake on improving competitiveness and economic growth. It is emphasized that in order to overcome the prevailing negative trends, it is necessary to restructure the structure of investment capital — an annual 15-20% increase in investments in innovation and technological development and in human capital. State support should be concentrated on these areas.

Published: September 2022

Retail banking has long been facing inevitable competition with digital companies: internet allows wider access to offers, smartphones are becoming unprecedented financial instrument, the banks seem to be unable to keep up with diversity of needs in sharing economy where margins are defragmented and risks mutate. The hypothesis of our research is that P2P lending in smart communities will not be limited by an alternative financing role, but signifies creation of new layer of finance industry by absorbing certain classic banking activities and unchaining value creation of financial institutions.

Authors:   Free Economic Society of Russia, BODRUNOV S.D. ­
Published: September 2022

Analyzing long-term trends and global transformations of technological and economic development, the author concludes that a significant renewal of economic relations and institutions is necessary, and proposes a strategy for moving towards a new state of society. Among the tasks associated with advancing to a new stage of Russia’s economic development are the formation of knowledge-­intensive production, the transformation of property relations, the solidarity of social strata. Among the means for solving these problems, the author highlights strategic planning and active industrial policy, the transformation of property relations aimed at the formation of new institutions of appropriation, disposal and use, the development of public health, education, culture, the formation of a system of relations that reduce inequality in access to development resources.
HUMAN CAPITAL AS A DRIVER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE AREAS
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, AUZAN A.A.
Published: September 2022

The author is convinced that it is possible to make a technological breakthrough, relying not so much on monetary, but rather on human capital — the main strategic resource of intercivilizational competition. Russia ranks first in the world in terms of the quality of human capital and far from the first in terms of GDP per capita. We must try to ensure that these scissors will not form through the expiration of human capital, which in the context of adaptation will be forced to contract.

HD-TESS: An Asteroseismic Catalog of Bright Red Giants within TESS Continuous Viewing Zones
Authors: Hon Marc , Kuszlewicz James S. , Huber Daniel , Stello Dennis , Reyes Claudia
Published: September 2022

We present HD-TESS, a catalog of 1709 bright (V ∼ 3–10) red giants from the Henry Draper (HD) Catalog with asteroseismic measurements based on photometry from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Using light curves spanning at least 6 months across a single TESS observing cycle, we provide measurements of global asteroseismic parameters (

ν

max

and Δν) and the evolutionary state for each star in the catalog. We adopt literature values of atmospheric stellar parameters to estimate the masses and radii of the giants in our catalog using asteroseismic scaling relations, and observe that HD-TESS giants on average have larger masses compared to Kepler red giants. Additionally, we present the discovery of oscillations in 99 red giants in astrometric binary systems, including those with subdwarf or white dwarf companions. Finally, we benchmark radii from asteroseismic scaling relations against those measured using long-baseline interferometry for 18 red giants and find that correction factors to the scaling relations improve the agreement between asteroseismic and interferometric radii to approximately 3%.
DRAFT: A Method for Wave Analyses in Space Plasmas

Published: September 2022

In this study, we apply a method for wave analyses in space plasmas, to better understand the nature of plasma waves and turbulence. Such a method is based on four-spacecraft measurements of magnetic fields or electric fields; it calculates the phase velocity of each single-frequency wave by using the timing analysis, then divides the wave frequency by the phase velocity to obtain the wavevector, and finally solves the dispersion relation (ω–k relation) by considering all frequency channels, and thus is termed Dispersion RelAtion From Timing (DRAFT). Quantitatively, we define three parameters, match of amplitude (MOA), ratio of half-wavelength to spacecraft separation (λ/2R
sc), and correlation coefficient (CC), to judge the reliability of this method. We illustrate the usage of this method and validate the efficiency of the three parameters by analyzing the Magnetospheric Multiscale data. We find that the DRAFT results are generally accurate under conditions MOA > 0.5, λ/2R
sc > 1, CC > 0.8. As a support, we compare our method with the previous methods such as Means and singular value decomposition (SVD). We find that if the three criteria (MOA, λ/2R
sc, CC) are satisfied, the DRAFT, Means, and SVD are consistent in resolving the wave normal angle. Such a comparison robustly validates the reliability and rationality of the DRAFT method. Using DRAFT, we successfully solve the dispersion relation of an Alfvén wave in Earth’s magnetosheath and obtain its three-dimensional
K
-spectrum. Our method should be useful to study the low-frequency waves and weak turbulence in space plasmas.
Variability Signatures of a Burst Process in Flaring Gamma-Ray Blazars
Authors: Brill A.
Published: September 2022

Blazars exhibit stochastic flux variability across the electromagnetic spectrum, often exhibiting heavy-tailed flux distributions, commonly modeled as lognormal. However, Tavecchio et al. and Adams et al. found that the high-energy gamma-ray flux distributions of several of the brightest flaring Fermi-LAT flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) are well modeled by an even heavier-tailed distribution, which we show is the inverse gamma distribution. We propose an autoregressive inverse gamma variability model in which an inverse gamma flux distribution arises as a consequence of a shot-noise process. In this model, discrete bursts are individually unresolved and averaged over within time bins, as in the analysis of Fermi-LAT data. Stochastic variability on timescales longer than the time-bin duration is modeled using first-order autoregressive structure. The flux distribution becomes approximately lognormal in the limiting case of many weak bursts. The fractional variability is predicted to decrease as the time-bin duration increases. Using simulated light curves, we show that the proposed model is consistent with the typical gamma-ray variability properties of FSRQs and BL Lac objects. The model parameters can be physically interpreted as the average burst rate, the burst fluence, and the timescale of long-term stochastic fluctuations.
A Rosetta Stone for Eccentric Gravitational Waveform Models
Authors: Knee Alan M. , Romero-Shaw Isobel M. , Lasky Paul D. , McIver Jess , Thrane Eric
Published: September 2022

Orbital eccentricity is a key signature of dynamical binary black hole formation. The gravitational waves from a coalescing binary contain information about its orbital eccentricity, which may be measured if the binary retains sufficient eccentricity near merger. Dedicated waveforms are required to measure eccentricity. Several models have been put forward, and show good agreement with numerical relativity at the level of a few percent or better. However, there are multiple ways to define eccentricity for inspiralling systems, and different models internally use different definitions of eccentricity, making it difficult to compare eccentricity measurements directly. In this work, we systematically compare two eccentric waveform models, SEOBNRE and TEOBResumS, by developing a framework to translate between different definitions of eccentricity. This mapping is constructed by minimizing the relative mismatch between the two models over eccentricity and reference frequency, before evolving the eccentricity of one model to the same reference frequency as the other model. We show that for a given value of eccentricity passed to SEOBNRE, one must input a 20%–50% smaller value of eccentricity to TEOBResumS in order to obtain a waveform with the same empirical eccentricity. We verify this mapping by repeating our analysis for eccentric numerical relativity simulations, demonstrating that TEOBResumS reports a correspondingly smaller value of eccentricity than SEOBNRE.
Searching for the Transit Signal of the Exoplanet Gl 514 b in the TESS Photometry
Authors: Damasso Mario , Nardiello Domenico
Published: September 2022

We report an analysis of the TESS light curve of the nearby M dwarf Gl 514 that was observed during Sector 50. We search for a transit of the likely super-Earth Gl 514 b that was detected in 2022 in radial velocity data. The planet moves on an eccentric orbit that partly resides within the habitable zone of its host. According to the predictions, a transit may occur with high probability within the observing window covered by Sector 50, and being easily detected, therefore offering a great opportunity for an independent confirmation of the existence of Gl 514 b, and for a better characterization of the planet.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: stunting is still a severe problem in today's youth. One of the causes of stunting nutrition problems is the ignorance of adolescents about adolescent nutrition and nutritional problems that occur. Knowledge of adolescent nutrition about health and nutritional problems, especially stunting, is needed to break the intergenerational chain of stunting in the future. One of the efforts to deal with stunting in adolescents is counseling using media.   
 
AIM: Knowing the Use of Media in Stunting Counseling for Teenagers at Langsa High School       
 
METHODS: This type of research is a quasi-experiment with a two-group pre-test and post-test design. The test used was the Pairet Sample t-test and Independent t-test with a significance level (α) of 0.05 (95%).
 
RESULTS: The results showed a difference in the knowledge of the students of Senior High School 1 Langsa after the Leaflet and tik to intervention with the mean value after the leaflet intervention 18.63 and the mean difference being 1.188. The mean value after the tick-tock intervention is 17.44, and the mean difference is 1.188 with a p-value of 0.005. This value implies differences in the knowledge of Senior High School  1 Langsa students after the intervention using leaflets and tik tok. In the attitude aspect, there are differences in the students' attitudes of Senior High School  2 Langsa after the Leaflet and Tik-Tok intervention, with the mean value after the leaflet intervention 40.13 and the mean difference being 3,958. The mean value after the Tik-Tok intervention is 36.17, the mean difference is 3.958, and the p-value is 0.011. This value means that there are differences in the attitudes of students at Senior High School  2 Langsa after the Leaflet and Tik-Tok intervention was carried out  
 
CONCLUSION: The use of TikTok and Leaflet media has proven effective in stunting counseling for adolescents in high school in Kota Langsa. This is evidenced by the statistical results that show differences in knowledge and attitudes of Senior High School  1 and Senior High School 2 students after the intervention using leaflets and Tik-Tok (p-value 0.005).

Published: September 2022

The impact of a family death, especially on children, causes demographic changes, one of which is the mother's desire to have children. This research problem is how to model with a logistic regression approach and spatial modeling with overlay technique on the desire to have children. The purpose of this study is to model desire to have children with a logistic regression and overlay modeling approach. This research was conducted in Palu City. Participants in this study amounted to 382 mothers with proportional stratified random sampling method as the sampling technique, the data were analyzed using logistic regression modeling and spatial modeling with overlay techniques. In general, the results of logistic regression modeling show a significant effect between the type of disaster and geographical location on the desire to have children after the disaster in Palu City. Mothers who experience disasters (earthquake, tsunami, liquefaction) and live in disaster-prone zones have the opportunity to have children. The results of spatial modeling using the overlay technique show that the parameters of the disaster-affected area have a high priority, indicating that the zone/area of these parameters tends to have children.

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: Nutritional problem is still a significant public health issue worldwide, and Indonesia is not exempted. Stunting is the failure of a child to grow to the proper height of their age due to unbalance nutritional intake (more calories and less protein) when they are still in the womb, baby, and toddlers. The mother’s lack of awareness about the susceptibility and severity of the stunting is the contributing factor. AIM: Purpose of this study is to investigate mothers’ perceived susceptibility and severity toward stunting and their association with mothers’ behavior to prevent stunting. METHODS: It is a quantitative study using an analytical observation design with a cross-sectional approach. This population is 120 mothers with under 5 years of children in East Surabaya Health Center, Indonesia. They were all taken as research samples. The independent variables are perceived susceptibility and severity of stunting, whereas stunting prevention is the dependent variable. The Likert scale is used to develop a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The logistic regression test was carried out to identify mothers’ perceived susceptibility and severity level to protect their children from stunting. RESULTS: The study found that mothers generally have a good perception of the susceptibility and severity of stunting. The logistic regression test shows that the value of significant = 0.000 for the susceptible variable and significant = 0.003 for the severity factor. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that the strong association between mothers’ perception of susceptibility and severity of stunting affects their stunting prevention behavior. SUGGESTION: The study advises mothers to improve their awareness of the danger of stunting and take necessary action to prevent it. Health promotion efforts should focus on empowering and enhancing the participation of mothers to take pre-emptive steps to prevent stunting.

Published: September 2022

Six species of Sticta are described as new to science on the basis of material from Bolivia and supported by phylogenetic analysis of the fungal ITS barcoding marker. The species were resolved in all three of the clades (I, II, III) widespread and common in the Neotropics, as defined in an earlier study on the genus. Comparison with material from neighbouring countries (i.e. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) suggests that these new species may be potentially endemic to the Bolivian Yungas ecoregion. For each species, a detailed morphological and anatomical description is given. Sticta amboroensis Ossowska, Kukwa, B. Moncada & Lücking is a medium-sized green-algal species with laminal to submarginal apothecia with hirsute margins and with light to dark brown lower tomentum. Sticta aymara Ossowska, Kukwa, B. Moncada, Flakus, Rodriguez-Flakus & Lücking is a comparatively small cyanobacterial taxon with Nostoc as photobiont, laminal, richly branched, aggregate isidia and a golden to chocolate-brown lower tomentum. The medium-sized, cyanobacterial S. bicellulata Ossowska, Kukwa, B. Moncada & Lücking has cyanobacterial photobiont, bicellular ascospores, apothecia with white to golden-brown hairs on the margins, K+ violet apothecial margin (ring around disc) and epihymenium and a white to dark brown lower tomentum. In contrast, the green-algal species, S. carrascoensis Ossowska, Kukwa, B. Moncada & Lücking is characterised by its large size, apothecia with dark brown hairs on the margins and a yellow medulla. The cyanobacterial S. catharinae Ossowska, B. Moncada, Kukwa, Flakus, Rodriguez-Flakus & Lücking forms stipitate thalli with Nostoc as photobiont, abundant, laminal to submarginal apothecia and a golden-brown lower tomentum. Finally, the cyanobacterial S. pseudoimpressula Ossowska, Kukwa, B. Moncada & Lücking produces laminal apothecia with an orange-yellow line of pruina along the margins which reacts K+ carmine-red. In addition to the six new Bolivian taxa, the cyanobacterial S. narinioana B. Moncada, Ossowska & Lücking is described as new from Colombia and it represents the closely-related sister species of the Bolivian S. aymara; it differs from the latter largely in the marginal instead of laminal isidia.

Published: September 2022

Surgery for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) can often lead to significant blood loss, necessitating allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). The use of ABT is associated with higher rates of morbidity and death in revision total joint arthroplasty, particularly in the treatment of PJI. We compared ABT rates by procedure type among patients treated for PJI. We retrospectively reviewed 143 operative cases of hip and knee PJI performed at our institution between 2016 and 2018. Procedures were categorized as irrigation and debridement (I&D) with modular component exchange (modular component exchange), explantation with I&D and placement of an antibiotic spacer (explantation), I&D with antibiotic spacer exchange (spacer exchange), or antibiotic spacer removal and prosthetic reimplantation (reimplantation). Rates of ABT and the number of units transfused were assessed. Factors associated with ABT were assessed with a multilevel mixed-effects regression model. Of the cases, 77 (54%) required ABT. The highest rates of ABT occurred during explantation (74%) and spacer exchange (72%), followed by reimplantation (36%) and modular component exchange (33%). A lower preoperative hemoglobin level was associated with higher odds of ABT. Explantation, reimplantation, and spacer exchange were associated with greater odds of ABT. Antibiotic spacer exchange and explantation were associated with greater odds of multiple-unit transfusion. Rates of ABT remain high in the surgical treatment of PJI. Antibiotic spacer exchange and explantation procedures had high rates of multiple-unit transfusions, and additional units of blood should be made available. Preoperative anemia should be treated when possible, and further refinement of blood management protocols for prosthetic joint infection is necessary. [

Surgical Efficacy and Prognostic Factors for Acute Traumatic Central Cord Syndrome Without Fracture and Dislocation
Authors: Liu Guozhen , Liu Lei , Wang Yuntao
Published: September 2022

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment of acute traumatic central cord syndrome (ATCCS) without fracture and dislocation and explore surgical timing and factors influencing postoperative recovery of spinal cord function. We retrospectively collected the general and clinical data of 112 patients with ATCCS (American Spinal Injury Association impairment scale grade C or D) without fracture and dislocation who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2013 to August 2019. We used statistical methods to evaluate the safety of the operation and explore the timing of surgery and the factors influencing postoperative recovery of spinal cord function. The mean age of the 112 patients was 60.64±12.91 years. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and the American Spinal Injury Association motor score (AMS) of the 112 patients were significantly higher at final follow-up than at admission. No significant difference in recovery of spinal cord function was seen between the early operation group (≤4 days) and the late operation group (>4 days). Comparison of patients with a good prognosis vs a poor prognosis showed that age, intrahand muscle strength at admission, maximum spinal cord compression, maximum canal compromise, length of high-intensity signal in the spinal cord on sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, AMS, and American Spinal Injury Association injury grade D/C at admission had a significant effect on recovery of spinal cord function. Surgical treatment of ATCCS without fracture and dislocation is safe and effective. Age, admission AMS and American Spinal Injury Association impairment scale score, intrinsic hand muscle strength, maximum canal compromise, maximum spinal cord compression, and length of high-intensity signal in the spinal cord can be used to predict postoperative recovery of spinal cord function.

Nursing Education and Social Determinants of Health: A Content Analysis
Authors: Colburn Deirdre Ann
Published: September 2022

Background:

By integrating a social determinants of health (SDOH) perspective into nursing programs, there is potential to reduce health disparities shaped by these forces. However, little is known about the extent to which nursing program curricula include SDOH education.

Method:

This study used course descriptions from 32 nursing programs in the United States to perform a frequency and content analysis on required course offerings. Healthy People 2020 was referenced to determine coding categories.

Results:

Although 18.5% of courses implicitly referenced SDOH, only 1% made explicit references to SDOH. Implicit references were likely to include themes such as cultural sensitivity and diversity, or social, cultural, economic, and political factors influencing health.

Conclusion:

Although several required nursing course descriptions made implicit references to SDOH, explicit use of the term SDOH is still limited. Faculty, administrators, and program accrediting bodies must push to incorporate SDOH more thoroughly into nursing education.

A comparative study for fractional simulations of Casson nanofluid flow with sinusoidal and slipping boundary conditions via a fractional approach
Authors: Raza Ali , Khan Umair , Zaib Aurang , Weera Wajaree , Galal Ahmed M.
Published: September 2022

This paper addresses a mixed and free convective Casson nanofluid flowing on an oscillating inclined poured plate with sinusoidal heat transfers and slip boundaries. As base fluid water is supposed and the suspension of nanofluid is formulated with the combination of individual copper $ \left(Cu\right) $, titanium dioxide $ \left(Ti{O}_{2}\right) $ and aluminum oxide $ \left(A{l}_{2}{O}_{3}\right) $ as nanoparticles, the dimensionless governing equations are generalized based on Atangana-Baleanu (AB) and Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) fractional operators for developing a fractional form. Then, for the semi-analytical solution of the momentum and thermal profiles, the Laplace transformation is utilized. To discuss the influences of various pertinent parameters on governing equations, graphical tablecomparison of the Nusselt number and skin friction is also inspected at different times and numerical schemes. As a result, it has been concluded that both the momentum and energy profiles represent the more significant results for the AB-fractional model as related to the CF-fractional model solution. Furthermore, water-based titanium dioxide $ \left(Ti{O}_{2}\right) $ has a more progressive impact on the momentum as well as the thermal fields as compared to copper $ \left(Cu\right) $ and aluminum oxide $ \left(A{l}_{2}{O}_{3}\right) $ nanoparticles. The Casson fluid parameter represents the dual behavior for the momentum profile, initially momentum field decreases due to the Casson parameter but it then reverses its impact and the fluid flow moves more progressively.

Entrepreneurship research is paying increasing attention to big data. However, there is only a fragmented understanding on how big data influences entrepreneurial activities. To review previous research systematically and quantitatively, the authors use bibliometrics method to analyze 164 research articles on big data in entrepreneurship. They visualize the landscape of these studies, such as publication year, country, and research area. They then use VOSviewer to conduct theme clustering analysis, finding four themes, namely the COVID-19 pandemic and small medium enterprise (SME) digitization, application of big data analytics to decision making, application of big data in platform, and the effects of big data on enterprises. In addition, they construct an integrated framework that integrates the antecedents of big data adoption and influence mechanism of big data on entrepreneurial activities.

Twin-row ridge cultivation is widely used in soybean planting in northern China. In order to find the optimal parameters of soybean agronomy, the twin-row planter with subsoiling was designed. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of plant arrangements and cluster densities on soybean growth and grain yield under different tillage treatments. The experiment used a randomised complete block design consisting of 20 treatments in a 2×2×5 factorial arrangement. Two tillage treatments were inter-row subsoiling and no subsoiling. Each tillage treatment included the combination of plant arrangements (side-by-side arrangement and triangular arrangement) and cluster densities (one, two, three, four, and five plants). The variables measured included soil moisture content, seedling emergence, biomass accumulation and allocation, and grain yield. We have concluded that the performance of inter-row subsoiling treatment was much better than that of no subsoiling treatment. Meanwhile, the triangular arrangement and two plants per cluster were the best choices for soybean biomass accumulation and grain yield in northern China. This study provided a reference for the innovative design of the twin-row planter with subsoiling and the optimisation of soybean agronomy.
Monitoring mini-tomatoes growth: A non-destructive machine vision-based alternative
Authors: Ferreira Abreu Fernando , Antunes Rodrigues Luiz Henrique
Published: September 2022

Yield is the most often used metric of crop performance, and it can be defined as the ratio between production, expressed as a function of mass or volume, and the cultivated area. Estimating fruit’s volume often relies on manual measurements, and the procedure precision can change from one person to another. Measuring fruits’ mass will also destroy the samples; consequently, the variation will be measured with different samples. Monitoring fruit’s growth is either based on destructive tests, limited by human labour, or too expensive to be scaled. In this work, we showed that the cluster visible area could be used to describe the growth of mini tomatoes in a greenhouse using image processing in a natural environment with a complex background. The proposed method is based on deep learning algorithms and allows continuous monitoring with no contact with the cluster. The images are collected and delivered from the greenhouse using low-cost equipment with minimal parameterisation. Our results demonstrate that the cluster visible area accumulation is highly correlated (R²=0.97) with growth described by a parameterised Gompertz curve, which is a well-known growth function. This work may also be a starting point for alternative growth monitoring methods based on image segmentation. The proposed U-Net architecture, the discussion about its architecture, and the challenges of the natural environment may be used for other tasks in the agricultural context.

Introduction

The correlation between cervical alignment and clinical outcome of total disc replacement (TDR) surgery is arguable. We believe that this conflict exists because the parameters that influence the biomechanics of the cervical spine are not well understood, specifically the effect of TDR on different cervical alignments.

Methods:

A validated osseo-ligamentous model from C2-C7 was used in this study. The C2-C7 Cobb angle of the base model was modified to represent: lordotic (−10°), straight (0°), and kyphotic (+10°) cervical alignment. The TDR surgery was simulated at the C5-C6 segment. The range of motion (ROM), intradiscal pressure, annular stresses, and facet loads were computed for all the models.

Results:

The ROM results demonstrated kyphotic alignment after TDR surgery to be the most mobile when compared to intact base model (41% higher in flexion–extension, 51% higher in lateral bending, and 27% higher in axial rotation) followed by straight and lordotic alignment, respectively. The annular stresses for the kyphotic alignment when compared to intact base model were higher at the index level (33% higher in flexion–extension and 48% higher in lateral bending) compared to other alignments. The lordotic model demonstrated higher facet contact forces at the index level (75% higher in extension than kyphotic alignment, 51% higher in lateral bending than kyphotic alignment, and 78% higher in axial rotation than kyphotic alignment) when compared among the three alignment models.

Conclusion:

Preoperative cervical alignment should be an integral part of surgical planning for TDR surgery as different cervical alignments may significantly alter the postsurgical outcomes.

Objective

The global shift of trends to minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases has become prominent in India for few decades. We aimed to assess the current status of MIS techniques for lumbar interbody fusion and their surgical outcomes in the Indian population.

Materials and Methods:

A systematic review (following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines) was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar till November 2020. The primary (visual analog scale [VAS] and oswestry disability index [ODI] scores; intraoperative blood loss; duration of surgery; duration of hospital stay, and fusion rate) and secondary (wound-associated complications and dural tear/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak) outcomes were analyzed using Review Manager 5.4 software.

Results:

A total of 15 studies comprising a total of 1318 patients were included for analysis. The pooled mean of follow-up duration was 26.64 ± 8.43 months (range 5.7–36.5 months). Degenerative spondylolisthesis of Myerding grade I/II was the most common indication, followed by lytic listhesis, herniated prolapsed disc, and lumbar canal stenosis. The calculated pooled standard mean difference (SMD) suggested a significant decrease in postoperative ODI scores (SMD = 5.53, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.77–7.29; P < 0.01) and VAS scores (SMD = 6.50, 95% CI = 4.6–8.4; P < 0.01). The pooled mean blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay, duration of surgery, and fusion rate were 127.75 ± 52.79 mL, 4.78 ± 3.88 days, 178.59 ± 38.69 min, and 97.53% ± 2.69%, respectively. A total of 334 adverse events were recorded in 1318 patients, giving a complication rate of 25.34%.

Conclusions:

Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is the most common minimally invasive technique employed for lumbar interbody fusion in India, while oblique lumbar interbody fusion is in the initial stages. The surgical and outcome-related factors improved significantly after MIS LIF in the Indian population.
