Published: August 2024

Integration of cyber-physical surveillance systems (CPSS) into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) paradigm represents a transformative approach to enhancing transportation safety and efficiency. This article discusses the design, implementation, and application of CPSS as part of IoV ecosystems. Leveraging advancements in sensor technologies, communication protocols, and data analytics, CPSS within IoV enables real-time monitoring, analysis, and response to road conditions, incidents, and emergencies. Our research explores the architecture and functional capabilities of CPSS, including sensor deployment, data fusion, anomaly detection, and decision support mechanisms. We investigate the synergistic interaction between CPSS and IoV platforms, facilitating seamless data exchange, collaboration, and compatibility between automotive and infrastructural domains. Additionally, we discuss potential applications of CPSS in traffic management, law enforcement, emergency response, and urban planning, emphasizing its role in enhancing transportation safety, optimizing resource allocation, and preventing congestion and accidents. Through empirical evaluations and thematic studies, we demonstrate the effectiveness, scalability, and societal impact of integrating CPSS into IoV ecosystems. This research contributes to the development of intelligent transportation systems and underscores the transformative potential of CPSS within the IoV context.

Türkiye-Japonya ilişkileri: yüz yıllık bir değerlendirme
Authors: Tepealtı Fahrettin
Published: August 2024

Türkiye ile Japonya, aralarındaki kültürel farklar ve coğrafi uzaklığa rağmen daima iyi ilişkiler içinde olmuştur. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu zamanında 1871 yılında başlayan iki ülke arasındaki diplomatik ilişkiler, Japonya’nın 6 Ağustos 1924 tarihinde Lozan Antlaşması’nı onaylamasıyla birlikte Cumhuriyet döneminde de devam etmiştir. Ertuğrul Fırkateyni kazası ile askeri temelli başlayan iki ülke arasındaki ilişkiler ilerleyen dönemlerde daha çok ekonomik bir boyut kazanmıştır. İçinde bulunduğumuz yıl itibarıyla 100. yılına ulaşan Türk-Japon ilişkilerinin önceki dönemlerde olduğu gibi günümüzde de olumlu seyrini koruduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada bir asırlık Türkiye-Japonya ilişkilerinin tarihsel, ekonomik, politik ve sosyokültürel açıdan değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. İki ülke arasındaki ilişkilerin geçmişten günümüze gelişimi, durum analizi yöntemi ile ele alınmış ve Japonya’nın farklı şehirlerindeki gözlem ve incelemeler sonucu edinilen bilgilerin de katkısıyla taraflar arasındaki mevcut ve potansiyel iş birliği alanları vurgulanmıştır.

Published: August 2024

Background:

Clinical trial findings on cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are inconclusive, offering limited support for their MCI treatment. Given that nearly half of amnestic MCI cases lack cerebral amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease; this Aβ heterogeneity may explain inconsistent results.

Objective:

This study aimed to assess whether Aβ deposition moderates ChEI effects on amnestic MCI cognition.

Methods:

We examined 118 individuals with amnestic MCI (ages 55–90) in a longitudinal cohort study. Baseline and 2-year follow-up assessments included clinical evaluations, neuropsychological testing, and multimodal neuroimaging. Generalized linear models were primarily analyzed to test amyloid positivity’s moderation of ChEI effects on cognitive change over 2 years. Cognitive outcomes included Mini-Mental Status Examination score, the total score of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease neuropsychological battery, and Clinical Dementia Rating-sum of boxes.

Results:

The analysis found no significant ChEI use x amyloid positivity interaction for all cognitive outcomes. ChEI use, irrespective of Aβ status, was associated with more cognitive decline over the 2-year period.

Conclusions:

Aβ pathology does not appear to moderate ChEI effects on cognitive decline in MCI.
A Brief History of the Progress in Our Understanding of Genetics and Lifestyle, Especially Diet, in the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Grant William B.
Published: August 2024

The two major determining factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are genetics and lifestyle. Alleles of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene play important roles in the development of late-onset AD, with APOE ɛ4 increasing risk, APOE ɛ3 being neutral, and APOE ɛ2 reducing risk. Several modifiable lifestyle factors have been studied in terms of how they can modify the risk of AD. Among these factors are dietary pattern, nutritional supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins, physical exercise, and obesity, and vitamin D. The Western diet increases risk of AD, while dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean and vegetarian/vegan diets reduce risk. Foods associated with reduced risk include coffee, fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, and fish, while meat and ultraprocessed foods are associated with increased risk, especially when they lead to obesity. In multi-country ecological studies, the amount of meat in the national diet has the highest correlation with risk of AD. The history of research regarding dietary patterns on risk of AD is emphasized in this review. The risk of AD can be modified starting at least by mid-life. People with greater genetic risk for AD would benefit more by choosing lifestyle factors to reduce and/or delay incidence of AD.

Published: August 2024

Background:

Measurement of freezing of gait (FOG) relies on the sensitivity and reliability of tasks to provoke FOG. It is currently unclear which tasks provide the best outcomes and how medication state plays into this.

Objective:

To establish the sensitivity and test-retest reliability of various FOG-provoking tasks for presence and severity of FOG, with (ON) and without (OFF) dopaminergic medication.

Methods:

FOG-presence and percentage time frozen (% TF) were derived from video annotations of a home-based FOG-provoking protocol performed in OFF and ON. This included: the four meter walk (4MW), Timed Up and Go (TUG) single (ST) and dual task (DT), 360° turns in ST and DT, a doorway condition, and a personalized condition. Sensitivity was tested at baseline in 63 definite freezers. Test-retest reliability was evaluated over 5 weeks in 26 freezers.

Results:

Sensitivity and test-retest reliability were highest for 360° turns and higher in OFF than ON. Test-retest intra-class correlation coefficients of % TF varied between 0.63–0.90 in OFF and 0.18–0.87 in ON, and minimal detectable changes (MDCs) were high. The optimal protocol included TUG ST, 360° turns ST, 360° turns DT and a doorway condition, provoking FOG in all freezers in OFF and 91.9% in ON and this could be done reliably in 95.8% (OFF) and 84.0% (ON) of the sample. Combining OFF and ON further improved outcomes.

Conclusions:

The highest sensitivity and reliability was achieved with a multi-trigger protocol performed in OFF + ON. However, the high MDCs for % TF underscore the need for further optimization of FOG measurement.
Prediction of fracture behavior during the small punch test for aluminum alloy 6061
Authors: Pham Hang Thi
Published: August 2024

The aim of this work is to investigate fracture mechanical characteristic of aluminum alloy 6061 by the small punch test in low range of deformation rate. The results of the force-displacement of the puncher curve and scanning electron microscope observation of fracture surface of deformed specimen are used to discuss fracture toughness of the material. The obtained results show that the influence of the displacement rate on the force - displacement of the puncher cannot be clearly seen. The mechanism of fracture properties of aluminum alloy 6061 is quite complicated and there is a large difference between the fracture surface of the top side which contacts with the punch head and the fracture surface of the bottom side. The bottom side shows not only crack in the direction perpendicular to the applied external force but also crack along the direction of the crack ring. The local ductile fracture might dominate to induce the initial crack due to shear stress. Then, the crack spreads via the direction perpendicular to the applied external force as well as along the direction of the crack ring without any dimples. Meanwhile, tensile stress plays an important role in breaking the specimen in half.

BACKGROUND: The global implementation of full-time telework became widespread during the new normal conditions following the pandemic, resulting in reduced physical activity (PA) among teleworkers and young adults. It is vital to comprehend how telehealth interventions favorably impact PA levels and overall well-being of young adults who face increasingly blurred boundaries between work and home life. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of telerehabilitation (TR) on PA levels and quality of life (QoL) in young adult teleworkers. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 82 teleworkers (54 females and 28 males). Levels of PA and QoL were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL-14) questionnaire. TR was provided to all participants for four weeks, three times a week, for 40 minutes per session. Levels of PA and QoL were evaluated at baseline and after four weeks of the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: After four weeks of TR, there has been a significant improvement in the scores of IPAQ and HRQOL-14 (p < 0.05). In regards to IPAQ-SF results, TR had a significant effect on the sitting or sedentary behavior of the teleworkers. CONCLUSION: The results showed that a short-term TR intervention improved both the level of PA and QoL in young adult teleworkers. Therefore, TR may be an effective treatment approach to improve PA and QoL and promote a healthy lifestyle in teleworkers.

Published: August 2024

Background: Cyanide is a very toxic chemical that reacts with the ferric cytochrome oxidase in the mitochondrial system to form a stable complex. This complex inhibits the process of oxidative phosphorylation, thereby interrupting aerobic respiration in the organism. It is postulated that activated charcoal (AC) intercepts the ingested cyanide in the gastrointestinal tract before it is absorbed into the system. Methods: A single dose of 3 mg/kg body weight of potassium cyanide (KCN) was orally administered to the rats in each of the five groups, each consisting of 6 rats. After 15 minutes, all rats in each group were given AC from different agro-based materials. The control group (group 1) received standard commercial AC orally at 1 g/kg. group 2 received AC from plantain peels, group 3 received AC from castor oil seed shell, group 4 received AC from coconut shell and group 5 received a combination of AC from plantain peels, castor oil seed shell, and coconut shell. Blood samples were collected sequentially from rats in each group for biochemical assays using standard procedures. Results: The control group, which received KCN and standard commercial AC, exhibited the highest alanine transaminase (ALT) value (60.09±0.10 U/L) on day seven. Similarly, the highest aspartate transaminase (AST) value (196.28±0.72 U/L) was observed in the control group. Alkaline phosphate (ALP) levels followed a similar pattern. On day seven, the serum creatinine levels were 3.81±0.11 mg/dL for group 1 and 3.45±0.05 mg/dL for group 5. Subsequently, all biochemical parameters decreased after day 7, with the lowest levels recorded in rats that received AC derived from coconut shells. Conclusion: The administration of locally prepared agro-based adsorbents to Wistar rats after exposure to sublethal doses of cyanide significantly mitigated the effects of the cyanide on the liver, kidneys, and heart, as indicated by the biochemical parameters of the albino Wistar rats in the study.

Treatment Strategies for Unknown Anatomic Pathology Ventriculus Terminalis Case Series: Single Center Experience
Authors: Özmarasalı Ali İmran , Yagubov Fakhraddin , Eser Ocak Pınar , Doğan Şeref
Published: August 2024

The ventriculus terminalis is a cavity in the conus medullaris, bounded by ependymal cells, associated with the central canal. It is an anatomical structure that is very rare in adults, with a limited number of surgical cases that have been reported in the literature. In children, it is regarded as a normal congenital variation, known to regress before five years of age, and very few symptomatic cases have been reported in both pediatric and adult populations. It is often asymptomatic in adults and is detected incidentally. Although potentially nonsignificant individually, symptoms can range from nonspecific low back pain to sphincter dysfunction and focal neurologic deficits. Our purpose is to discuss our management strategy in comparison to the existing literature. A retrospective review was conducted of all adult patients (aged 17 years and older) diagnosed with ventriculus terminalis who were referred to the hospital between 2010 and 2020. Clinical classification was made according to the classification defined by Batista. In addition, Ganau's classification was also used. Five patients were included in the study. The majority of these patients (n=4, 80%) were symptomatic at the time of diagnosis, with nonspecific back pain being the most common symptom (n=3, (60%). None of the patients required neurosurgical intervention during the follow-up period of 21.6±8.9 months, as there was no clinical deterioration observed. Ventriculus terminalis is a rare pathology that may develop de novo in adults, often remaining undiagnosed until the cyst enlarges, and can manifest with a wide spectrum of symptoms. When identified, it requires careful management, involving surgery when necessary and a conservative approach when appropriate.

Earthworms from various land uses in the Kottayam district of Kerala, part of the Western Ghats hotspot in India, were studied using an integrative approach that involved morphoanatomical methods and cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) barcoding techniques for the first time here. The study unveiled the presence of nine earthworm species: Drawida ghatensis Michaelsen, 1910; Moniligaster julkai Narayanan and Paliwal, 2022; Glyphidrilus annandalei Michaelsen, 1910; Pontoscolex corethrurus (Müller, 1857); Eukerria kuekenthali (Michaelsen, 1908); Dichogaster bolaui (Michaelsen, 1891); Megascolex cochinensis Stephenson, 1915; M. konkanensis Fedarb, 1898; and Lampito mauritii Kinberg, 1867, belonging to eight genera. The COI sequences of all nine species were deposited in GenBank. Notably, M. julkai and E. kuekenthali are novel additions to the GenBank barcode database. The Bayesian phylogram and maximum-likelihood indicated that the species M. julkai in this study exhibited a closer relationship to D. ghatensis than to other Moniligaster species. This study provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of all nine species, supplemented by their DNA barcodes, to facilitate future species identification.

Published: August 2024

Objective: to characterize honey bee (Apis mellifera) production systems in the municipality of Hopelchén, Campeche, Mexico.
Design/methodology/approach: the sample was made up by 10% of the beekeepers in Holpechén, identified through the snowball method. A semi-structured questionnaire was designed with 94 questions grouped into five sections (general information, structure of the systems, product trade, technologies used, and decision making). The questionnaire was applied through the technique of interviewing those responsible for the 118 beekeeping production systems. The information obtained with the questionnaires was analyzed with descriptive statistics.
Results: beekeeping is an important productive activity in the region of Los Chenes and La Montaña in Hopelchén, which are undergoing the process of generational replacement and are currently maintained by young adult producers who are younger than 45 years old. They own 55 hives on average per producer, which are located at a distance of 7.7 km from their households. The main technology is the use of sugar for feed, by 50% of producers, followed by the diagnosis of Varroa infestation and determination of moisture with 35 and 21.5% of beekeepers.
Limitations on study/implications: the limited access to regions with beekeeping potential, as well as the lack of monitoring by outside staff, does not ease open-mindedness of beekeepers toward researchers.
Findings/conclusions: the characterization of beekeeping production systems with high potential allows proposing improvement strategies to promote the development of small-scale producers.

Published: August 2024

Objective: To describe the cultivation systems of C. elegans through the analysis of production and commercialization in three municipalities in the high mountain region of Veracruz, Mexico.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was conducted in Tepatlaxco, Zongolica, and Omealca, Veracruz, Mexico. From January to July 2022, a survey was administered to 84 producers of Camedor palm using convenience sampling. In addition, interviews with key informants and participant observation were conducted.
Results: Camedor palm production occurs in small production units ranging from 1 ± 0.05 to 7.0 hectares, primarily managed by male producers (93%) with an average age of 48 years and 6 years of schooling. Planting densities range from 35,000 to 100,000 plants per hectare, and leaf cutting is conducted on a quarterly basis, yielding between 1000 to 3700 rolls per hectare at an average price of $14.00 Mexican pesos per roll paid to the producer. Prior to cultivating Camedor palm, 56% of producers were growing coffee. The main driving factor for cultivation is the steady generation of income.
Limitations/Implications: This is a specific case study; therefore, the results are limited to descriptive statements about the study area.  
Findings/Conclusions: Producers utilize non-timber forest products as alternatives to crises in other crops and investment constraints within production units. The production of C. elegans is accessible, requires low investment, and is compatible with family farming. However, yields in some cases are low, and the marketing network shows high intermediation.

Objective: To obtain a machine learning (ML) model to predict the milk yield adjusted to 305 d (MY305) from the same lactation period.
Design/methodology/approach: A database of test days (TD) was used, made up by 11,892 records of daily milk production from cows with more than 150 days in milk (DIM), from 19 barns in Querétaro, Mexico. The milk production was standardized to specific DIMs (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40) and estimations of MY305 were obtained with these, using ML models. The following were incorporated as explicative variables of the herd: month of birth of the cow, month of start of lactation, number of lactation, number of days for three daily milking events, and the two first linear scores of somatic cells.
Results: The best goodness of fit was achieved with ensemble models, obtaining a deviance of 1503584 in the training with 80% of data chosen randomly, while with 20% of the data reserved to evaluate the deviance model it was 1576776. The rate between data observed and predictions of MY305 of the ensemble models had a coefficient of determination of r2 = 0.79 and RMSE of 1256. In the best individual model (deviance of 2281420) of ‘deep learning’ type, the most important variables were daily milk production of 30, 10, 5 and 20 DIM (19.9, 16.6, 16.2 and 12.8%, respectively).
Limitations on study/implications: The value of RMSE is high, although the TD databases are generated systematically and usually there are not many barns represented.
Findings/conclusions: For the database examined, milk production in the early phase of lactation together with a set of automatic learning models resulted in an adequate prediction of MY305.

Objetivo: El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar las características de embutidos tipo Frankfurt formulados con oleogel de soja y canola estructurados con cera de candelilla (CW).
Diseño/metodología/aproximación: Se evaluaron las propiedades fisicoquímicas y atributos texturales a través del tiempo de almacenamiento (1 y 21 días) después de una sustitución parcial o total de la fase grasa en la emulsión cárnica (50% y 100%) en dos aceites comestibles comerciales [aceite de soja (SO) y canola. aceite (CO)]
Resultados: La caracterización fisicoquímica mostró que retuvieron mayor humedad a medida que la grasa animal era desplazada en la formulación, siendo 100% SO y 100% CO (43,46% y 40,64% respectivamente) los que conservaron mayor humedad, así como valores de grasa y proteína. Además, las muestras respondieron incrementalmente en 50%SO y 100%SO que en CO, después del almacenamiento esto en perfiles de dureza, elasticidad, cohesividad, pegajosidad y masticabilidad. Además el 100%SO y el 100%CO fueron los que desarrollaron mayor dureza con el tiempo.
Limitaciones del estudio/implicaciones: Limitaciones en la manufactura de salchichas, lo que implicó mayor tiempo de maduración de la matriz cárnica a fin de obtener una emulsión estable.
Hallazgos/conclusiones: Podemos concluir que la sustitución con una matriz de oleogel y cera vegetal nos permite establecer parámetros de procesamiento obteniendo un sustituto bajo en grasas saturadas y grasas trans de salchicha tipo Frankfurt.

Published: August 2024

The analytical approach proposed in this article comes from the area of regional econ-omy. The main aim of this paper is to detail the business structure of Mexico in terms of employment in the manufacturing subsectors and at the regional level in the period 1988-2018. The traditional shift-share methodology is used to describe performance by type of company across the large division of manufacturing industry activity, in order to establish the most dynamic subsectors. Additionally, expanded shift-share is incorporated as a methodological proposal to weight the level of contribution of the business structure. The results establish that in msmes the food industry registers the best performance, while for large companies the metal products industry does best. It is corroborated that msmes specialize in traditional activities with a greater presence in the Central, Pacific and Southern regions. Meanwhile, large companies concentrate on modern and highly technical activities with greater growth in the Northern Border and North-Central regions. This makes it necessary to develop sectoral policies to im-prove the performance of each manufacturing division.

Agri-food trade has evolved from the local to the international level, and this requires companies in the sector to constantly update their skills so they can join global value chains. The purpose of this study is to present the factors that have influenced the in-ternationalization of horticultural smes in these chains. A qualitative approach was used, through structured interviews, by means of a case study. The factors found in-cluded the standards of quality that companies must be able to meet to international-ize, upgrades made to add value to their products, satisfying government and foreign buyers’ requirements, and governance, which varies according to the size of the com-pany. It is concluded that investment in machinery, technology, training, and product diversification has positively boosted the companies’ internationalization and upward mobility.

A database of foraging guilds of seabirds
Authors: Arroyo Jose , Hernandez Juan
Published: August 2024

The foraging guilds of terrestrial birds have been a focus of past studies, however little is known about the guilds in seabirds, except for certain species and localities. To overcome this gap, here we developed the Foraging Guilds of Seabirds database (FGSdb) by compiling a global database of 311 seabird species (from a total of 346 known, representing 90% of all seabird species) and assigning to each of them their diet types and foraging strategy. Diets included categories such as mollusks and fish and strategies included categories such as diving or aerial capture. In turn, both diets and strategies were classified into subcategories, such as herbivores and surface foragers, respectively. Across all seabirds, there were 22 types of diets and 30 types of strategies to capture prey. The number of diet categories for a species varied between 1 and 11, and the number of strategies varied from 1 to 9. We provide R code to exemplify how to use the database to, for example, get the number of species that belong to a certain category. Our database provides a useful resource database for future studies in evolutionary ecology. For instance, could reveal different statistical patterns and be integrated with other types of data, e.g. body size, to analyze the evolutionary constraints associated with the inter-specific variation in these foraging traits. Future extensions of this work include extending this database to other birds or animal groups and developing a GUI to explore the data.

Writing based on the Bible: Rereading García Márquez's Eréndira
Authors: Zhou Xuan
Published: August 2024

La increíble y triste historia de la Cándida Eréndira y de su abuela desalmada (1972) is an important middle grade novel by Marquez, and the biblical metaphors contained in the text have been neglected by critics. By employing Frye’s biblical archetypal criticism, a comparative analysis of the novel and the Bible reveals that Márquez’s text is imbued with central imagery from the metaphorical paradise of the Garden of Eden and the demonic imagery of Sodom and Gomorrah that adheres to the biblical framework of sin-punishment-redemption, which is fundamental to its structure. From the perspectives of imagery, characterization, narrative structure, and theme, the Bible emerges as the primary symbolic source and foundation of the text. Thus, Eréndira can be viewed as an allegory that employs the Bible as a metaphorical model. This analysis reveals the deeper thematic concerns and narrative artistry in Márquez’s work, highlighting the complex interplay between sin and redemption.
Fundamentality of Indonesia’s Economy Development: Emphasizing Responsibilities on Genetically Modified Products Consumption

Published: August 2024

Genetically modified food's potential risks to human health create legal discussions on the producer’s responsibility. In the context of Indonesia's economic development, emphasizing the producer’s responsibility is vital in providing legal protection for genetically modified food products’ consumers. Hence, this research aims to identify the producers’ responsibility for genetically modified food products in Indonesia in relation to the development of the national economy. According to the result, the responsibility of genetically modified products food producers toward consumers’ losses has yet to fulfill the principle of justice. The main reason is the distinct economic position, where producers have broader power than consumers. Thus, the strict liability principle’s implementation will protect the position of genetically modified food product consumers to serve justice. Applying the strict liability principle to producers’ responsibility will foster a prudent attitude toward genetically modified food production. Moreover, this principle will maintain the quality of the products and contribute to Indonesia's economic development. This research uses normative and empirical juridical approaches.
