Judo coaches are urged to develop specific competencies and skills for addressing the special needs of older practitioners. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the experts’ opinions on judo training in late adulthood to develop sound educational programs for coaches of older judo practitioners. Overall, eighty-eight experts from an international consortium of judo and educational partners participated in national focus groups. During the focus groups, experts discussed five themes and generated statements pertinent to educate coaches to support older judo practitioners (e.g., benefits; necessary knowledge; risks; training groups definition; tools; and tests for monitoring training plans). The initial list of 262 statements was synthesized, validated, analyzed, and organized into a final list of 55 statements and six macro-areas: aging process (n = 10); safety and first aid (n = 6); physiology and fitness (n = 12); psychology and mental health (n = 11); organization and environment (n = 5); adapted judo teaching and training (n = 11). The present international eminence-based study, harmonizing diverse intercultural perspectives, highlighted the specific needs of older judo practitioners. The results of this study will contribute to the structure of a sound educational program for coaches of older judo practitioners to enhance the quality of older adults’ sports experiences by linking safety, enjoyment, social interactions, and learning principles.

Published: July 2023

Surveys show that rivers worldwide transport an annual sediment load of 15 billion tons into the sea, with the Yellow River Basin alone contributing 1.6 billion tons of sand. Therefore, understanding the wind and sand dynamics in the Yellow River Basin is crucial to ensuring the safe development of similar basins across China and the world. This study investigated the midstream wind and sand area of the Xiliugou tributary, a part of the upper Yellow River. Sand transport flux at 0–50 cm height on various underlying surfaces of the basin was measured using a stepped sand collector combined with an anemometer. Then, the amounts of wind and sand entering the Yellow River were estimated using a function model based on the measured factors. The particle size composition of wind-eroded sand was further analyzed to better understand the principles of wind and sand erosion and accumulation in the basin. The results show that the sand transport flux per unit area varies significantly across different underlying surfaces. The vertical change in sand transport rate on the basin’s surface shows that the total sand transport rate is an exponential function of wind speed. Based on this relationship, the total annual average wind and sand entering the Yellow River basin via the Xiliugou tributary was estimated to be approximately 8.09 × 105 t. Controlled by the basin’s unique geography, sand source, and human activities, the particle size composition of wind-eroded sand distinctly differs between the east and west sides of the river channel, exhibiting a “wind-blown mud and water-washed sand” pattern. The Yellow River basin still faces significant ecological security hazards. Understanding the coupling relationship between desert-basin-sand and wind is the foundation for effectively controlling wind and sand flow into the Yellow River Basin.
Modeling and IAHA Solution for Task Scheduling Problem of Processing Crowdsourcing in the Context of Social Manufacturing
Authors: Zhu Gaohong , Liu Dianting
Published: July 2023

The paper addresses the discrete characteristics of the processing crowdsourcing task scheduling problem in the context of social manufacturing, divides it into two subproblems of social manufacturing unit selecting and subtask sorting, establishes its mixed-integer programming with the objective of minimizing the maximum completion time, and proposes an improved artificial hummingbird algorithm (IAHA) for solving it. The IAHA uses initialization rules of global selection, local selection, and random selection to improve the quality of the initial population, the Levy flight to improve guided foraging and territorial foraging, the simplex search strategy to improve migration foraging to enhance the merit-seeking ability, and the greedy decoding method to improve the quality of the solution and reduce solution time. For the IAHA, orthogonal tests are designed to obtain the optimal combination of parameters, and comparative tests are made with variants of the AHA and other algorithms on the benchmark case and a simulated crowdsourcing case. The experimental results show that the IAHA can obtain superior solutions in many cases with economy and effectiveness.

Authors: Eltawil Fatma A. , Atalla Michael , Boulos Emily , Amirabadi Afsaneh , Tyrrell Pascal N.
Published: July 2023

Objectives: This scoping review was conducted to determine the barriers and enablers associated with the acceptance of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)-enabled innovations into radiology practice from a physician’s perspective. Methods: A systematic search was performed using Ovid Medline and Embase. Keywords were used to generate refined queries with the inclusion of computer-aided diagnosis, artificial intelligence, and barriers and enablers. Three reviewers assessed the articles, with a fourth reviewer used for disagreements. The risk of bias was mitigated by including both quantitative and qualitative studies. Results: An electronic search from January 2000 to 2023 identified 513 studies. Twelve articles were found to fulfill the inclusion criteria: qualitative studies (n = 4), survey studies (n = 7), and randomized controlled trials (RCT) (n = 1). Among the most common barriers to AI implementation into radiology practice were radiologists’ lack of acceptance and trust in AI innovations; a lack of awareness, knowledge, and familiarity with the technology; and perceived threat to the professional autonomy of radiologists. The most important identified AI implementation enablers were high expectations of AI’s potential added value; the potential to decrease errors in diagnosis; the potential to increase efficiency when reaching a diagnosis; and the potential to improve the quality of patient care. Conclusions: This scoping review found that few studies have been designed specifically to identify barriers and enablers to the acceptance of AI in radiology practice. The majority of studies have assessed the perception of AI replacing radiologists, rather than other barriers or enablers in the adoption of AI. To comprehensively evaluate the potential advantages and disadvantages of integrating AI innovations into radiology practice, gathering more robust research evidence on stakeholder perspectives and attitudes is essential.

Published: July 2023

The Huangshui National Wetland Park (HNWP) is a unique national wetland park in a city on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, containing three zones: Haihu, Beichuan, and Ninghu. In this study, a total of 54 soil samples (18 sampling points with depths of 0–10 cm, 10–20 cm, and 20–30 cm) were collected in these three zones, and the contents of heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn, and As) of each sample were determined. The ecological risk of eight kinds of heavy metals was evaluated by using the geo–accumulation index (Igeo), and the ecological risk–controlling effect of the Xining urban wetlands on heavy metals was explored by comparative analysis, and the possible sources of heavy metals in the soil were analyzed via correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). The results revealed that the total heavy metal concentration order was Haihu > Beichuan > Ninghu zone. As and Cu presented vertical accumulation characteristics in the surface and lower horizon, respectively. Cr, Cd, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn accumulated downwards along the depth. On the spatial scale, the enrichments of Cd and Hg brought non-negligible ecological risks in plateau urban wetlands. The results of PCA indicated that soil heavy metals mainly came from compound sources of domestic and atmospheric influences, traffic pollution sources, and industrial pollution sources. The study has revealed that human activities have inevitable negative impacts on wetland ecosystems, while the HNWP provides a significant weakening effect on heavy metal pollution.

Authors: Abellán Gabriel , Rincón Ángel , Sanchez Eduard
Published: July 2023

In this work, we investigate astrophysical systems in a Newtonian regime using anisotropic matter. For this purpose, we considered that both radial and tangential pressures satisfy a generalized Chaplygin-type equation of state. Using this model, we found the Lane–Emden equation for this system and solved it numerically for several sets of parameters. Finally, we explored the mass supported by this physical system and compared it with the Chandrasekhar mass.
Synthesis of Elements in Compact Stars in Pycnonuclear Reactions with Carbon Isotopes: Quasibound States vs. States of Zero-Points Vibrations

Published: July 2023

(1) Purpose: Conditions of formation of compound nuclear systems needed for synthesis of heavy nuclei in pycnonuclear reactions in compact stars are studied on a quantum mechanical basis. (2) Methods: The method of multiple internal reflections is applied for pycnonuclear reactions in compact stars with new calculations of quasibound spectra and spectra of zero-point vibrations. (3) Results: Peculiarities of the method are analyzed for reaction with isotopes of Carbon. The developed method takes into account continuity and conservation of quantum flux (describing pycnonuclear reaction) inside the full spacial region of reaction, including the nuclear region. This gives the appearance of new states (called quasibound states) in which compound nuclear systems of Magnesium are formed with the largest probability. These states have not been studied yet in synthesis of elements in stars. Energy spectra of zero-point vibrations and spectra of quasibound states are estimated with high precision for reactions with isotopes of Carbon. For the first time, the influence of plasma screening on quasibound states and states of zero-point vibrations in pycnonuclear reactions has been studied. (4) Conclusions: The probability of formation of a compound nucleus in quasibound states in pycnonuclear reaction is essentially larger than the probability of formation of this system in states of zero-point vibrations studied by Zel’dovich and followers. Therefore, synthesis of Magnesium from isotopes of Carbon is more probable through the quasibound states than through the states of zero-point vibrations in compact stars. Energy spectra of zero-point vibrations are changed essentially after taking plasma screening into account. Analysis shows that from all studied isotopes of Magnesium, only 24Mg is stable after synthesis at an energy of relative motion of 4.881 MeV of the incident nuclei 12C.

Authors: Hasada Takumi , Homma Kensuke , Kirita Yuri
Published: July 2023

We aim to search for axion-like particles in the eV mass range using a variable-angle stimulated resonance photon collider (SRPC) with three intense laser beams. By changing angle of incidence of the three beams, the center-of-mass-system collision energy can be varied and the eV mass range can be continuously searched for. In this paper, we present the design and construction of such a variable-angle three-beam SRPC (tSRPC), the verification of the variable-angle mechanism using a calibration laser, and realistic sensitivity projections for searches in the near future.
Urban Planning of Coastal Adaptation under Sea-Level Rise: An Agent-Based Model in the VIABLE Framework
Authors: Sengupta Shubhankar , Kovalevsky Dmitry V. , Bouwer Laurens M. , Scheffran Jürgen
Published: July 2023

Coastal flood risk and sea-level rise require decisions on investment in coastal protection and, in some cases, the relocation of urban areas. Models that formalize the relations between flooding costs, protective investments, and relocation can improve the analysis of the processes and issues involved and help to support decision-making better. In this paper, an agent-based model of a coastal city is represented in NetLogo. This model is based on the VIABLE modeling framework and describes adaptive dynamic agent behavior in a changing system. The hypothetical city faces damage caused by gradually rising sea levels and subsequent extreme sea-level events. To mitigate these risks, an “urban planner” agent has two adaptation measures at their disposal: developing coastal defenses or, as a more extreme measure, relocating vulnerable areas inland. As the simulation progresses and the decisions change with rising sea levels, the agent alters investments in these two measures to increase its value function, resulting in dynamic reactive behavior. Additionally, gradual sea-level rise is implemented in various modes, along with extreme sea-level events that cause severe short-term damage. The results of simulations under these modes and with multiple scenarios of agent action are presented. On average, agent behavior is quite reactive under limited foresight. Individual simulations yield a ‘priming’ effect when comparing different timings of extreme sea-level events, wherein an earlier extreme event primes the agent to adapt and thus be better prepared for subsequent events. Agent success with adaptation is also found to be sensitive to the costs involved, and these varying degrees of adaptation success are quantified using three parameters of adaptation success.

In this study, we applied bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) technology with PRVΔTK/gE/gI as the base material to replace the first, central, and terminal segments of the US3 gene with codon-deoptimized fragments via two-step Red-mediated recombination in E. coli GS1783 cells. The three constructed BACs were co-transfected with gI and part of gE fragments carrying homologous sequences (gI+gE’), respectively, in swine testicular cells. These three recombinant viruses with US3 codon de-optimization ((PRVΔTK&gE-US3deop−1, PRVΔTK&gE-US3deop−2, and PRVΔTK&gE-US3deop−3) were obtained and purified. These three recombinant viruses exhibited similar growth kinetics to the parental AH02LA strain, stably retained the deletion of TK and gE gene fragments, and stably inherited the recoded US3. Mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with the three recombinant viruses or control virus PRVΔTK&gEAH02 at a 107.0 TCID50 dose. Mice immunized with PRVΔTK&gE-US3deop−1 did not develop clinical signs and had a decreased virus load and attenuated pathological changes in the lungs and brain compared to the control group. Moreover, immunized mice were challenged with 100 LD50 of the AH02LA strain, and PRVΔTK&gE-US3deop−1 provided similar protection to that of the control virus PRVΔTK&gEAH02. Finally, PRVΔTK&gE-US3deop−1 was injected intramuscularly into 1-day-old PRV-negative piglets at a dose of 106.0 TCID50. Immunized piglets showed only slight temperature reactions and mild clinical signs. However, high levels of seroneutralizing antibody were produced at 14 and 21 days post-immunization. In addition, the immunization of PRVΔTK&gE-US3deop−1 at a dose of 105.0 TCID50 provided complete clinical protection and prevented virus shedding in piglets challenged by 106.5 TCID50 of the PRV AH02LA variant at 1 week post immunization. Together, these findings suggest that PRVΔTK&gE-US3deop−1 displays great potential as a vaccine candidate.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on global health, necessitating urgent and effective strategies to mitigate its consequences. Vaccination programs have been implemented worldwide to combat virus transmission and reduce the disease burden. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination coverage and all-cause excess mortality in 178 nations during the first two years of the pandemic. Multiple regression analysis, after adjusting for life expectancy at birth, confirmed a significant association between higher vaccination coverage and lower all-cause mortality rates (β = −106.8, 95% CI −175.4 to −38.2, p = 0.002). These findings underscore the importance of vaccination campaigns in reducing overall mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence-based decision making and resource allocation can benefit from this information, facilitating the optimization of vaccination strategies for maximal impact on mortality reduction. Further research and continuous monitoring are crucial to understanding the long-term effects of vaccination coverage on population health in the ongoing pandemic.

Antimicrobials’ topical administration efficacy has not been assessed in dogs with upper respiratory tract disease. The aim was to compare the concentration of gentamicin in nasal lavage fluid (NALF) and in serum after three topical protocols. This was a prospective crossover study of ten healthy dogs. Gentamicin was nebulized for a duration of 1 week, twice a day, for 10 min in the first protocol (10-min protocol) and for 3 min in the second protocol (3-min protocol), while the third protocol consisted of the administration of 0.25 mL of gentamicin in each nostril (drop protocol). Median concentrations of gentamicin in NALF were 9.39 µg/mL (8.12–19.97 interquartile range), 4.96 µg/mL (4.60–6.43) and 137.00 µg/mL (110.5–162.00) in the 10-min protocol, 3-min protocol and drop protocol, respectively. The result for the drop protocol was significantly higher than those of both nebulization protocols in NALF (p = 0.039). In serum, the gentamicin concentration was 0.98 µg/mL (0.65–1.53) and 0.25 µg/mL (0.25–0.44) in the 10-min and 3-min protocols, respectively. Gentamicin was not detected in the serum of seven out of ten dogs in the drop protocol, and gentamicin was significantly higher in the 10-min protocol compared to the drop protocol (p = 0.001). This study found that the 10-min, 3-min and drop protocols achieved superior concentrations in NALF compared to the minimum inhibitory concentration for gentamicin-sensitive bacteria, while remaining below the toxic values in blood.

Published: July 2023

In order to improve the lateral stability and handling performance of in-wheel motor drive electric vehicles, a coordinated control method considering lateral stability and differential power-assisted steering performance is proposed. A vehicle dynamics model with two degrees of freedom is established, in which the influence of system disturbance is considered. At the same time, the effect of differential torque on vehicle power-assisted steering control was analyzed, and a differential power-assisted steering control method of vehicle was designed based on referenced steering wheel torque. In response to the coupling relationship and dynamic game problem between the lateral stability control system and the differential power-assisted steering control system, a coordinated control system with a vehicle lateral stability module and a differential power-assisted steering module was designed based on the Nash equilibrium game theory, achieving comprehensive optimization of multi-objective performance. Corresponding simulation tests were conducted in the co-simulation vehicle model, and the results show that the proposed coordinated control method can achieve the differential power-assisted steering control function of vehicle while ensuring lateral stability.

A comparative study of the effect of various preparations on the level of infection of Cyprinus carpio yearlings with dactylogyrus was carried out. The studies were carried out in spring under aquatic conditions. The fish were divided into 7 groups and fed 6 times a day. The control group was given pure food, and the experimental group was given the addition of various preparations. The study was carried out in 2 stages. At the first stage, the experimental fish were fed with Roncoleukin, a structural and functional analog of endogenous IL-2, and the enterosorbent agent, Polyfepam; Bacillus subtilis “SUB-PRO” and biologically active additive “Ecoflor”. The infestation of carps was assessed by the extensiveness of invasion and the index of abundance of parasites. The experiments performed showed differences in the level of infection depending on the drug used. According to the effect on the infection of juvenile carp with dactygyrus, the studied preparations can be conditionally divided into 2 groups: increasing and decreasing the intensity of invasion by the end of the 7th day of the experiment. The first group includes “Polyfepam” and “AQUATAN”, and the rest of the drugs to the second. On the 7th day of the experiment, the lowest infestation was recorded in the group of carp, which were added to the Antibak feed, and the highest — with the addition of AQUATAN. On day 14, in all experimental groups, the parasite abundance index exceeded the control values obtained before the start of the experiment. A significant increase in the intensity of invasion was noted in the experimental group, which received a drug based on ellagitannins with food. In other groups, this indicator increased slightly.
SENSORY METAPHOR IN ENGLISH SLANG PHYTONYMS

Published: July 2023

The present paper offers a cognitive perspective on sensory metaphor in English slang phytonyms, namely denominations of vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Resemblance-based metaphors relying on the mental imagery stemming from the five basic senses, namely vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell are found to abound in slang. The linguocognitive evidence collected allows for designing a typology of visual metaphors depending on the mathematical and physical properties of the referents as well as for concluding that English slang is a highly physicalist, anthropocentrist, and somatocentrist construct.

Introduction: Here, we assess the therapeutic effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) and curcumin (CUR)-loaded superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), alone or together, on the maturation step of a type 1 diabetes (DM1) rat wound model. Methods: Full-thickness wounds were inflicted in 36 rats with diabetes mellitus (DM) induced by the administration of streptozotocin (STZ). The rats were randomly allocated to four groups. Group one was untreated (control); group two received CUR; group 3 received PBM (890 nm, 80 Hz, 0.2 J/cm2 ); group 4 received a combination of PBM plus CUR. On days 0, 4, 7, and 15, we measured microbial flora, wound closure fraction, tensile strength, and stereological analysis. Results: All treatment groups showed a substantial escalation in the wound closure rate, a substantial reduction in the count of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a substantial improvement in wound strength, a substantially improvement in stereological parameters compared to the control group, however, the PBM+CUR group was superior to the other treatment groups (all, P≤0.05). Conclusion: All treatment groups showed significantly improved wound healing in the DM1 rat model. However, the PBM+CUR group was superior to the other treatment groups and the control group in terms of wound strength and stereological parameters.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune, inflammatory, non-scarring hair loss in which T-cells target hair follicles. Given that the available therapeutic options generally do not induce and sustain remission of AA effectively and many adverse effects may occur, monochromatic light sources have been recently gaining attention from clinicians. Therefore, the present paper aimed to report the first case in which photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) with a continuous wave red laser (660 nm) was used as monotherapy for AA. Case Presentation: An isolated round area of complete hair loss was subjected to daily PBMT sessions, resulting in significant regrowth (hair of normal coloration and thickness) within 7 days. On the 21st day, the patient’s aesthetic concern was completely resolved. Conclusion: PBMT with a continuous wave red laser seems to be a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of AA; however, additional studies are necessary to obtain more robust evidence.

Análisis comparado de la legislación que posibilita o no el voto de las personas privadas de libertad de dieciocho países de América Latina
Authors: María Fernanda Zumbado Barboza
Published: July 2023

La Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos en el numeral 23.2 señala una serie de supuestos taxativos, a partir de los cuales se les otorga a los Estados la facultad de reglamentar el ejercicio de los derechos políticos de sus ciudadanos. Dentro de las posibilidades se encuentra la limitación debido a una condena emitida por un juez competente en el marco de un proceso penal. A partir de esto, el estudio aborda, de forma comparada, la normativa de dieciocho países en América Latina para determinar la aplicación formal de limitaciones en el ejercicio del sufragio activo de las personas privadas de libertad, en virtud de una medida preventiva y una sentencia en firme en un proceso penal. A partir del análisis se logra la clasificación de los Estados, según el grado de restricciones aplicables, en tres categorías: 1) la normativa que posibilita el voto de las personas privadas de libertad sentenciadas y en prisión preventiva, salvo casos calificados; 2) la normativa que faculta el sufragio en privados de libertad no sentenciados y 3) la normativa que imposibilita en ambos casos la práctica del derecho político.

Este trabajo académico consiste en un aporte relacionado con la manera en la que, desde perspectivas procedimentales y sustantivas, se aborda el régimen disciplinario aplicable en materia jurídica a los cargos de elección popular en Costa Rica. Como punto de partida, se toma el hecho de que en este régimen jurídico del Estado existe una relación de empleo que no exime al ejercicio de la función pública respecto de todos los deberes y responsabilidades ordinarias de un marco disciplinario; sin embargo, al tratarse de cargos electos popularmente, tienen una función de ejercicio representativo en virtud de la dotación de legitimidad electoral que les ha sido otorgada. En tal sentido, el artículo brinda algunas perspectivas normativas acerca de la manera en la que el derecho del Estado atiende este tipo de circunstancias, así como las diferenciaciones y contrastaciones presentes debido al tipo de cargo de elección popular del que se trate en cada uno de los casos.

ABSTRAK

Label informasi nilai gizi adalah label kemasan yang memuat daftar kandungan gizi makanan dan komponen lainnya seperti takaran saji, jumlah takaran saji, dan persen angka kecukupan gizi. Data Badan Perlindungan Konsumen Nasional (BPKN) menunjukkan bahwa hanya 7,9% konsumen yang memperhatikan dan membaca label informasi nilai gizi. Kurangnya pengetahuan tentang label informasi nilai gizi dapat memengaruhi pola konsumsi, menyebabkan kegemukan, dan obesitas. Remaja tergolong salah satu konsumen yang paling aktif dalam mengonsumsi makanan kemasan. Salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan remaja tentang informasi nilai gizi adalah dengan memberikan edukasi. Selain bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan siswa, edukasi terkait label gizi juga bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan mengubah perilaku untuk mencapai kesehatan dan gizi yang optimal. Edukasi, pretest, dan posttest terkait informasi nilai gizi diberikan kepada 26 siswa SMAN 5 Mataram yang tergabung dalam kelompok UKS dan PMR. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan kemampuan membaca label informasi nilai gizi siswa meningkat setelah diberikan edukasi. Dengan demikian, pemberian edukasi ini memberikan hasil yang positif. Melalui kegiatan ini, kami berharap para siswa semakin sadar dan mampu memilih jajanan sehat untuk mencapai gizi yang optimal.

A stock split is one of the corporate actions that the company can take to reduce the nominal value of the share price. A stock split is done by increasing the number of outstanding shares to encourage more share trading. This study aims to test whether there is a significant change in the performance of stock returns before and after the stock split operation. This study will use a quantitative research methodology, and the sampling strategy will be purposive sampling. These two things will go hand in hand. The data type used is secondary data, which is the daily closing price of shares. These prices are then processed so that the stock returns can be calculated. The length of time for the study was 20 days, starting ten days before the stock split activity and ending ten days after the stock split activity. This is done according to the stock split date. Because the normality test results showed that the returns obtained before and after the stock split are not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon marked rating test applied in SPSS version 25 will be used to test the hypothesis regarding the distribution of returns before and after the stock split. Hypothesis testing resulted in the conclusion that there is a substantial difference between return and stock split. This conclusion was reached based on the test findings.
