Published: July 2024

This study investigates the motivation of polyglots to learn multiple languages, a topic not extensively studied in literature. It focuses on the role of motivation as a stimulus triggering consistent behavior in learning a foreign language, offering a unique perspective on this phenomenon. Purpose: The present study examines the diverse motivational backgrounds of polyglots and investigates the relationship between these motivations and the multilingual acquisition of foreign languages by polyglots. The study involved five informants who participated in semi-structured interviews, utilizing a descriptive case study approach for data collection. Results: The results demonstrated that the four main reasons why polyglots learned numerous foreign languages were: (a) enjoyment; (b) social interaction; (c) career advancement; and (d) intellectual pursuits. Prior studies have mostly shown that people who are studying foreign languages do so primarily for academic, professional, and social reasons. Apart from the three reasons, polyglots learned multiple languages for their own enjoyment. This is the main justification for their dedication to long-term multilingual education. Conclusion: The results of this study advance our knowledge of the motivations behind multilingual polyglots' acquisition of foreign languages. It is envisaged that language learners will successfully acquire numerous foreign languages by adopting or modifying the research participants' motives. To sustain kids' desire to learn foreign languages, educators, parents, and policymakers can think about, select, and construct engaging language activities as well as appropriate language teaching approaches.

Assessing the Feasibility of Using Parents’ Social Media Conversations to Inform Burn First Aid Interventions: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Bennett Verity , Spasić Irena , Filimonov Maxim , Muralidaran Vigneshwaran , Kemp Alison Mary , Allen Stuart , Watkins William John
Published: July 2024

Background

Burns are common childhood injuries, which can lead to serious physical and psychological outcomes. Appropriate first aid is essential in managing the pain and severity of these injuries; hence, parents who need timely access to such information often seek it from the web. In particular, social media allow them to reach other parents, hence these conversations may provide insight to aid the design and evaluation of burn first aid interventions for parents.

Objective

This study aims to determine the feasibility of finding, accessing, and analyzing parent burn first aid conversations on social media to inform intervention research.

Methods

The initial choice of the relevant social media was made based on the results of a parent focus group and survey. We considered Facebook (Meta Platforms, Inc), Mumsnet (Mumsnet Limited), Netmums (Aufeminin Group), Twitter (subsequently rebranded as “X”; X Corp), Reddit (Reddit, Inc), and YouTube (Google LLC). To locate the relevant data on these platforms, we collated a taxonomy of search terms and designed a search strategy. A combination of natural language processing and manual inspection was used to filter out irrelevant data. The remaining data were analyzed manually to determine the length of conversations, the number of participants, the purpose of the initial post (eg, asking for or offering advice), burn types, and distribution of relevant keywords.

Results

Facebook parenting groups were not accessed due to privacy, and public influencer pages yielded scant data. No relevant data were found on Reddit. Data were collected from Mumsnet, Netmums, YouTube, and Twitter. The amount of available data varied across these platforms and through time. Sunburn was identified as a topic across all 4 platforms. Conversations on the parenting forums Mumsnet and Netmums were started predominantly to seek advice (112/116, 96.6% and 25/25, 100%, respectively). Conversely, YouTube and Twitter were used mainly to provide advice (362/328, 94.8% and 126/197, 64%, respectively). Contact burns and sunburn were the most frequent burn types discussed on Mumsnet (30/94, 32% and 23/94, 25%, respectively) and Netmums (2/25, 8% and 14/26, 56%, respectively).

Conclusions

This study provides a suite of bespoke search strategies, tailored to a range of social media platforms, for the extraction and analysis of burn first aid conversation data. Our methodology provides a template for other topics not readily accessible via a specific search term or hashtag. YouTube and Twitter show potential utility in measuring advice offered before and after interventions and extending the reach of messaging. Mumsnet and Netmums present the best opportunity for informing burn first aid intervention design via an in-depth qualitative investigation into parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
Preoperative Anesthesia Virtual Video Consultations in a Preadmission Clinic: Quality Improvement Study
Authors: Subramani Yamini , Querney Jill , Singh Priyanka , Zhang Yifan , Fochesato Lee-Anne , Fatima Nida , Wood Natasha , Nagappa Mahesh
Published: July 2024

Background

The preadmission clinic (PAC) is crucial in perioperative care, offering evaluations, education, and patient optimization before surgical procedures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the PAC adapted by implementing telephone visits due to a lack of infrastructure for video consultations. While the pandemic significantly increased the use of virtual care, including video appointments as an alternative to in-person consultations, our PAC had not used video consultations for preoperative assessments.

Objective

This study aimed to develop, implement, and integrate preoperative video consultations into the PAC workflow.

Methods

A prospective quality improvement project was undertaken using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) methodology. The project focused on developing, implementing, and integrating virtual video consultations at London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph Health Care (London, Ontario, Canada) in the PAC. Data were systematically collected to monitor the number of patients undergoing video consultations, address patient flow concerns, and increase the percentage of video consultations. Communication between the PAC, surgeon offices, and patients was analyzed for continuous improvement. Technological challenges were addressed, and procedures were streamlined to facilitate video calls on appointment days.

Results

The PAC team, which includes professionals from medicine, anesthesia, nursing, pharmacy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy, offers preoperative evaluation and education to surgical patients, conducting approximately 8000 consultations annually across 3 hospital locations. Following the initial PDSA cycles, the interventions consistently improved the video consultation utilization rate to 17%, indicating positive progress. With the onset of PDSA cycle 3, there was a notable surge to a 29% utilization rate in the early phase. This upward trend continued, culminating in a 38% utilization rate of virtual video consultations in the later stages of the cycle. This heightened level was consistently maintained throughout 2023, highlighting the sustained success of our interventions.

Conclusions

The quality improvement process significantly enhanced the institution’s preoperative video consultation workflow. By understanding the complexities within the PAC, strategic interventions were made to integrate video consultations without compromising efficiency, morale, or safety. This project highlights the potential for transformative improvements in health care delivery through the thoughtful integration of virtual care technologies.

Published: July 2024

We appreciate Reierson’s thoughtful commentary on our 2019 paper, which described our experiences, ethical process, judgment calls, and lessons from a 2016-2017 data-sharing pilot between Crisis Text Line and academic researchers. The commentary raises important questions about the ethical conduct of health research in the digital age, particularly regarding informed consent, potential conflicts of interest, and the protection of vulnerable populations. Our article focused specifically on the noncommercial use of Crisis Text Line data for research purposes, so we restrict our reply to points relevant to such usage. While we acknowledge the limitations of Crisis Text Line’s Terms of Service as a means of informing users about data sharing for research, we maintain that our guidelines were ethically sound and aligned with well-established practices for institutional review board (IRB) review and researcher training. We emphasize the critical role of IRBs in ensuring that research involving vulnerable populations, including minors, is conducted ethically and with appropriate safeguards. Regarding potential conflicts of interest, we argue that unpaid, nonfiduciary advisory board service for a nonprofit organization does not constitute a conflict requiring disclosure. The transparent nature of our collaboration with Crisis Text Line, as evidenced by the authorship and acknowledgments in our paper, further underscores our commitment to ethical research practices. We recognize the complexity and evolving nature of the challenges surrounding data-sharing partnerships in digital health research. As the field progresses, we remain committed to ongoing, transparent engagement and to refining best practices in collaboration with colleagues, stakeholders, and the public. Our response aims to provide clarity and context for the concerns raised in the commentary while reaffirming the integrity and value of our original work. Ultimately, we maintain that our paper contributed meaningfully to the ongoing discourse on ethical data sharing and laid the groundwork for future improvements in this critical area of digital health research.

Weed Diversity and their Management in Major Rice-based Cropping Systems in India
Authors: Das Saptashree , Ray Manabendra , Saha Roy Aditi , Barat Subhajit
Published: July 2024

Weeds are unwanted and undesirable plants that interfere with cultivated crops for utilization of natural resources such as nutrients, water, and light, space, causing harbor of insect pests and disease adverse allelopathic effects and increasing cost of production indirectly, reducing crop yield. India is an agrarian country, where cropping systems form the backbone of Indian agriculture. Every cropping system has its associated weeds, and to manage these weeds requires a specific crop management approach. The main rice-based cropping systems in India, such as rice-wheat, rice-rice, rice-pulse, rice-maize, and rice-oilseed, have been pivotal in ensuring food security. However, these systems face significant challenges due to weed infestations, leading to yield losses ranging from 13% to 97%. Weeds like grass, sedge and broad-leaf weed varieties pose a substantial threat to these crops, particularly in direct-seeded conditions. To manage weeds effectively, various approaches are employed, including crop rotation, tillage, herbicide application, and intercropping. For instance, in rice-wheat systems, zero-tillage practices, crop residue mulch, and early sowing help to reduce weed emergence. In rice-pulse systems, pre-emergence herbicides, hand weeding, and intercropping prove effective. Maize-based systems benefit from tillage, mulching, and planting at closer spacing. Weed management is critical to sustaining rice-based cropping systems and ensuring food security in India. Tailored strategies that consider crop-specific challenges are essential to mitigate yield losses and maintain agricultural productivity.

Published: July 2024

The present experiment was conducted during March–May 2022 at ICAR–CIFE, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India to develop a unique fish feed from locally available vegetable, and fish processing waste. These two sources of the waste were used in composite bio-silage (CBS) production by combining fish (80%)–vegetable (20%) waste with probiotic proteolytic strain (E. faecalis+L. acidophilus) and jaggery (15% Jaggery) as a carbon source. The final CBS materials were used in experimental fish feed preparation by replacing fish meal (FM) protein. Changes in physicochemical, and microbiological quality characteristics of fish feed were measured every 15th day at room temperature (25–30°C). There was no change in color, the appearance of a moderately bad odour, a little bit of soft texture, and broken pellets were found in the later stages of the storage. Crude protein (38.50–36.10%) and fat (8.60–4.82%) content were decreased whereas, moisture content increased (9.15–11.10%) in all samples during the storage period. There were no notable changes in ash or crude fiber. Lipid oxidation product TBARs (8.0–13.205 MDA; nmol mg-1), Total Plate Count (2.75–6.70 log cfu g-1), and Fungal Count (1–2.50 log cfu g-1) were within acceptable range. The study’s findings indicated that composite bio-silage incorporated fish feed has a shelf life of up to 60th days and can be fed during this period. The study also suggested that manufactured fish feed should not be stored for more than two months, either in the place of production or at the farmer’s store.
Carbon Offsets and Shifting Harms
Authors: Elson Luke
Published: July 2024

Carbon offsets either remove greenhouse gases from the air or prevent emissions thereof. They face questions both economic (is ‘net zero’ really reached?) and moral. I defend the moral permissibility of off-sets. They likely shift climate harms around, but that need not be unjust—and in any case we cannot avoid doing that.
Gypsum and structure lime amendments in boreal agricultural clay soils: Do climate emissions compromise water quality benefits?
Authors: Ollikainen Markku , Lötjönen Sanna , Tikkanen Tommi , Ala-Harja Venla , Uusitalo Risto , Ekholm Petri
Published: July 2024

We examine cost-effectiveness and social net benefits of using soil amendments, gypsum and structure lime, in reducing phosphorus loading while accounting for the climate emissions from both amendments. Recent field experiments and large-scale pilots in Finland and Sweden suggest that both gypsum and structure lime improve soil structure and can reduce total P loading from clayey fields but differ as soil amendments. While gypsum does not change soil pH, structure lime helps to adjust it to a desired level. Drawing on literature, gypsum is postulated to reduce both dissolved (25%) and particulate losses (50%) of phosphorus, while structure lime is postulated to reduce only particulate phosphorus (40%). Life-cycle analysis is applied to determine greenhouse gas emissions from both soil amendments. We examine 5 and 10 years impacts on phosphorus loss by choosing doses and their timing accordingly. Both amendments provide the highest water quality benefits on erodible soils or soils with high soil phosphorus. Accounting for climate issues drastically changes the picture. Greenhouse gas emissions from gypsum production are 14.43 kgCO2e ha-1, and those from structure lime from pristine materials are 1837 kgCO2e ha-1. Cost-effectiveness of P load reduction including carbon price of GHG emissions is 59 € kg-1P for gypsum and 122 € kg-1P for structure lime. At the national level (application to 0.54 Mha), differences in greenhouse gas emissions without soil emissions are huge and in favour of gypsum (0.048 Mt and 1.04 Mt). Structure lime from recycled zero-emission materials performs well but its supply is very limited.

Authors: Risma Yolanda Mega , Utama Dana Marsetiya Utama , Amallynda Ikhlasul
Published: July 2024

The issue of energy consumption is currently a major concern globally, especially in the industrial sector, where most of the energy demand comes from the manufacturing sector. To reduce energy consumption, one of the proposed strategies is to reduce the idle time between jobs on machines during the production process, known as No-Idle Permutation Flowshop Scheduling (NIPFSP). This research proposes the application of the African Vultures Optimization Algorithm (AVOA) as a solution to the energy consumption challenge in the case of production scheduling. The algorithm is examined in detail through a series of trials to obtain the most efficient work order in the production schedule, subject to careful setting of iteration and population parameters. The result of implementing the AVOA algorithm is then compared with the method used by the company in a scheduling case. The research findings show that AVOA significantly outperforms the method commonly used by the company, confirming its performance advantage in optimizing energy consumption in the context of production scheduling.

Published: July 2024

In this study, the influence of climate change on land suitability for coffee cultivation in the Ecuadorian Amazon (EA) was investigated using five global circulation models (GCMs) in two different socioeconomic pathways (SSP126 and SSP585). Eleven physioedaphological factors were selected for the analysis and were combined with the most influential bioclimatic variables to model past, present and future suitable areas in five provinces of the EA. In assessing past suitability areas, key determinants varied based on land suitability levels. High suitability areas were primarily influenced by factors such as texture, organic matter content, soil fertility, soil depth, slope, and aspect, while pH, salinity, toxicity, drainage, and stoniness were more associated with moderate suitability areas. The present high suitability areas were influenced by texture, organic matter content, soil fertility, soil depth, and slope, whereas aspect, pH, salinity, toxicity, drainage, and stoniness were more prominent in modeling moderate areas. The ensemble estimation model projected distinct future scenarios for coffee cultivation; under the worst climate scenario (SSP585), Zamora Chinchipe and Morona Santiago, particularly in the east, face considerable unsuitability. Conversely, the more favorable scenario (SSP126) indicates high suitability across Pastaza, Orellana, and Sucumbios, with limited suitability in border areas adjacent to the Highland region. This study highlights the importance of implementing timely adaptation strategies to improve resilience to climate change impacts in the coffee sector.
Burned area detection using convolutional neural network based on spatial information of synthetic aperture radar data in Indonesia
Authors: Lestari Anugrah I. , Kushardono Dony , Bayanuddin Athar A.
Published: July 2024

Forest and land fires are disasters that often occur in Indonesia which affects neighbouring countries. The burned area can be observed using remote sensing. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor data is advantageous since it can penetrate clouds and smoke. However, image analysis of SAR data differs from optical data, which is based on properties such as intensity, texture, and polarimetric feature. This research aims to propose a method to detect burned areas from the extracted feature of Sentinel-1 data. The features were classified using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier. To find the best input features, several classification schemes were tested, including intensity and polarimetric features by applying the Boxcar speckle filter and the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) texture feature without using the Boxcar speckle filter. Additionally, this research investigates the significance of a window size parameter for each scheme. The results show the highest overall accuracy achieved 84% using CNN classification utilizing the GLCM texture features and without conducting the Boxcar speckle filter on the window size of 17×17 pixels when tested on the part region of Pulang Pisau Regency and Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan in 2019. The total burned area was 76,098.6 ha. The use of GLCM texture features without conducting the Boxcar speckle filter as input classification performs better than using intensity and polarimetric features that undergo the Boxcar speckle filter. Combining intensity and polarimetric features with performing the Boxcar speckle filter improves better classification performance over utilizing them separately. Furthermore, the selection of window size also contributes to improve the model performance.

This study focuses on Lahore, the secondlargest megacity of Pakistan, and evaluates land cover changes over the last three decades (1990-2020). It also analyzes the relationship between urban green landscapes and unregulated urban expansion. The study reveals significant changes in the ecology of Lahore’s urban landscape using Landsat imagery, including Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 8 OLI, and a 30m spatial resolution, along with population data from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. In particular, the study reveals a decline in urban green spaces and a significant expansion of urban built-up areas in Lahore. The annual urban area expansion rates were 24.2 km2 (1990- 2000), 12.1 km2 (2000-2010), and 26.4 km2 (2010-2020), while vegetation cover decreased 33.45 km2 (1990-2000), 20 km2 (2000-2010) in the first two decades but slightly increased from 2010 to 2020 at an annual rate of 14.17 km2. As a result, there is a serious concern about the rapid decline of green space in Lahore. It is recommended that the administrative authorities follow the World Health Organization’s guidelines regarding the need for green spaces. This study contributes to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 11th, indicator 11.3.1, and provides guidelines for conserving natural, social, and economic resources in the face of rapid urbanization.

This study evaluates the impact of using Stemming and Stop-words removal techniques on machine learning classifiers, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Logistic Regression (LR), in detecting sentiment from Libyan dialect poetry. The lack of Arabic Natural Language Process resources has made sentiment analysis for Arabic a challenging task compared to other languages. A secondary dataset was used and two experiments were conducted, with the first exploring the use of Stemming with Stop-words removal techniques and the second investigating the impact of using Stemming alone. Other preprocessing techniques were applied alongside TF-IDF with a combination of Unigrams and Trigrams during feature extraction. The results show that the Stop-words removal technique may have a negative impact on classifier performance. SVM outperformed LR in both experiments, achieving an accuracy of 71.63%, while LR achieved 70.92% in the second experiment. This study's accuracy outperformed previous research on the topic, achieving 71.63%, compared to 69% in earlier studies.
