Human–robot shared control for humanoid manipulator trajectory planning
Authors: Zhu Yuanchao , Yang Canjun , Wei Qianxiao , Wu Xin , Yang Wei 
Published: February 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to propose an intuitive shared control strategy to control a humanoid manipulator that can fully combine the advantages of humans and machines to produce a stronger intelligent form.

Design/methodology/approach
The working space of an operator’s arm and that of a manipulator are matched, and a genetic algorithm that limits the position of the manipulator’s elbow joint is used to find the optimal solution. Then, the mapping of the operator’s action to that of manipulators is realized. The controls of the human and robot are integrated. First, the current action of the operator is input. Second, the target object is predicted according to the maximum entropy hypothesis. Third, the joint angle of the manipulator is interpolated based on time. Finally, the confidence and weight of the current moment are calculated.

Findings
The modified weight adjustment method is the optimal way to adjust the weight during the task. In terms of time and accuracy, the experimental results of single target obstacle avoidance grabbing and multi-target predictive grabbing show that the shared control mode can provide full play to the advantages of humans and robots to accomplish the target task faster and more accurately than the control merely by a human or robot on its own.

Originality/value
A flexible and highly anthropomorphic human–robot action mapping method is proposed, which provides operator decisions in the shared control process. The shared control between human and the robot is realized, and it enhances the rapidity and intelligence, paving a new way for a novel human–robot collaboration.
Perceived service quality in Indonesian Islamic higher education context
Authors: Asnawi Nur , Setyaningsih Nina Dwi 
Published: February 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to identify the dimensions of service quality in the context of Islamic higher education (IHE); explain the determinant dimensions of overall perceived service quality (PSQ) according to students; and explains the difference in the level of quality felt by students in each dimension based on gender, year of study and level of education of students in Indonesia.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey method from 384 questionnaires collected from students in four major cities in Indonesia; 378 questionnaires were declared valid for explanatory analysis using SEM-PLS and t-test.

Findings
The new model called Islamic Higher Education Service Quality (i-HESQUAL) with seven dimensions of quality that are considered important by students i.e. teaching capability and competence of academic staff (TCC), reliability of service (ROS), reputation of university (REP), responsiveness of employees (RES), empathy of employees (EMP), internalization of Islamic values (IIV) and library service support (LSS). The dimensions that influence the overall PSQ are the IIV and LSS. In addition, students based on the year of study have differences in assessing the dimensions of quality, namely the dimensions of TCC, ROS, IIV, LSS, while the level of education also has differences, especially on the dimensions of ROS, REP and LSS.

Research limitations/implications
This research was only carried out at four public Islamic universities, for that there is a need for further research in the form of longitudinal studies with different geographical samples e.g. in the perspective of private universities to generalize research results.

Practical implications
The i-HESQUAL dimensions can be used by IHE managers to measure their performance according to students' perspectives. The two dimensions that determine the overall PSQ should be IHE's strategic advantages and the dimensions that do not affect the overall PSQ are feedback to identify weaknesses.

Originality/value
These findings contribute to PSQ research in the context of IHE, which operates on the values and culture that surrounds it (Islamic culture), while most of the previous research was conducted in the context of developed countries with a secular education system.
A comparison between farmed oysters using floating cages and oysters grown on‐bottom reveals more potentially human pathogenic Vibrio in the on‐bottom oysters
Authors: Canty Rachel , Blackwood Denene , Noble Rachel , Froelich Brett 
Published: February 2020

SummaryEating raw oysters can come with serious health risks, as oysters can potentially contain bacteria of the Vibrio genus that cause food‐borne infections. Vibrio bacteria are concentrated by oysters and, when consumed, infections can result with severe symptoms such as diarrhoea, lesions on the extremities, or even death. Vibrio spp. concentrations are strongly affected by season, location, and other factors such as temperature and salinity. Previous research in North Carolina oysters has been conducted on wild and farmed oysters but not at the same time. Farmed, or aquaculture raised, oysters are considerably different from wild oysters and could possibly pose different health risks. Farmed oysters are handled, raised from seed, and often grown using suspended grow‐out systems called ‘floating cages’. Therefore, farmed oysters can be grown at the surface of the estuary, while wild oysters typically grow at the bottom of the water column. This project compared the concentrations of Vibrio spp. in suspended, farm‐grown oysters and wild oysters at three sites, using a paired approach with farmed and wild oysters sampled in proximity. An important part of this comparison was identifying pathogenicity of the bacteria isolated from the samples. Distinction was made between off‐ and on‐bottom farming. Interestingly, on‐bottom oysters had more pathogenic V. vulnificus than off‐bottom oysters.
Unusual deprivation of compatible solutes in Acinetobacter baumannii
Authors: Zeidler Sabine , Müller Volker 
Published: February 2020

SummaryThe opportunistic human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections. The high prevalence of multidrug‐resistant strains, a high adaptability to changing environments and an overall pronounced stress resistance contribute to persistence and spread of the bacteria in hospitals and thereby promote repeated outbreaks. Altogether, the success of A. baumannii is mainly built on adaptation and stress resistance mechanisms, rather than relying on ‘true’ virulence factors. One of the stress factors that pathogens must cope with is osmolarity, which can differ between the external environment and different body parts of the human host. A. baumannii ATCC 19606T accumulates the compatible solutes glutamate, mannitol and trehalose in response to high salinities. In this work, it was found that most of the solutes vanish immediately after reaching stationary phase, a very unusual phenomenon. While glutamate can be metabolized, mannitol produced by MtlD is excreted to the medium in high amounts. First results indicate that A. baumannii ATCC 19606T undergoes a rapid switch to a dormant state (viable but non‐culturable) after disappearance of the compatible solutes. Resuscitation from this state could easily be achieved in PBS or fresh medium.
Immunoreactivity of cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte antigen 2 alpha in mouse pancreatic islet cells
Authors: Luziga Claudius 
Published: February 2020

AbstractCells of the pancreatic islets produce several molecules including insulin (beta cells), glucagon (alpha cells), somatostatin (delta cells), pancreatic polypeptide (PP cells), ghrelin (epsilon cells), serotonin (enterochromaffin cells), gastrin (G cells) and small granules of unknown content secreted by the P/D1 cells. Secretion mechanism of some of these molecules is still poorly understood. However, Cathepsin L is shown to regulate insulin exocytosis in beta cells and activate the trypsinogen produced by the pancreatic serous acini cells into trypsin. The structure of the propeptide region of Cathepsin L is homologous to Cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte antigen‐2 alpha (CTLA‐2 alpha) which is also shown to exhibit selective inhibitory activities against Cathepsin L. It was thought that if CTLA‐2 alpha was expressed in the pancreas; then, it would be an important regulator of protease activation and insulin secretion. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to examine by immunohistochemistry the cellular localization and distribution pattern of CTLA‐2 alpha in the pancreas. Results showed that strong immunoreactivity was specifically detected in the pancreatic islets (endocrine pancreas) but not in the exocrine pancreas and pancreatic stroma. Immunostaining was further performed to investigate more on localization of Cathepsin L in the pancreas. Strong immunoreactivity for Cathepsin L was detected in the pancreatic islets, serous cells and the pancreas duct system. These findings suggest that CTLA‐2 alpha may be involved in the proteolytic processing and secretion of insulin through regulation of Cathepsin L and that the regulated inhibition of Cathepsin L may have therapeutic potential for type 1 diabetes.

BackgroundCervical screening programs have had an important effect on the reduction of cervical cancer rates. Comprehensive programs require access to pathological review to improve the sensitivity of screening cytology and the specificity of diagnostic histology.AimsTo determine the number of cases where cervical cytology or histology was amended at cytopathological review; whether amendments were ‘upgrades’ or ‘downgrades’, and how amendments aligned with follow‐up results for these patients.Materials and MethodsA retrospective cohort study was performed of all patients reviewed from January 2016 to December 2017 (n = 287 cases, from 254 patients) at colposcopy multidisciplinary meetings at Wellington Hospital, a tertiary referral hospital. Where amendments to cytology or histology were made, follow‐up results were retrieved where available (85.7% and 84.2% respectively).ResultsCytology or histology was amended in 24.7% of cases. Smear cytology was amended in 16.7%. Where cytology was upgraded (n = 9), 44% had subsequent results of equal or higher grade including one case of adenocarcinoma. Where cytology was downgraded (n = 19), 93.8% (81.9–100%) had follow‐up studies showing equal or lower results. Cervical biopsy histology was amended in 12.2% of cases (upgraded n = 19, downgraded n = 6). Large loop excision of the transformation zone or cone biopsy histology was amended in three cases (7.9%).ConclusionsCytopathological review appears to improve the specificity of the comprehensive cervical screening program, leading to a reduction in unnecessary treatment. Additionally, a small number of cases of malignant or premalignant disease were detected.
Stated preferences over job characteristics: A panel study
Authors: Doiron Denise , Yoo Hong Il 
Published: February 2020

AbstractWhen making choices over jobs with different characteristics, what trade‐offs are decision‐makers willing to make? Such a question is difficult to address using typical household surveys that provide a limited amount of information on the attributes of the jobs. To address this question, a small but growing number of studies have turned to the use of stated preference experiments; but the extent to which stated choices by respondents reflect systematic trade‐offs across job characteristics remains an open question. We use two popular types of experiments (profile case best–worst scaling and multi‐profile case best–worst scaling) to elicit job preferences of nursing students and junior nurses in Australia. Each person participated in both types of experiments twice, within a span of about 15 months. Using a novel joint likelihood approach that links a decision‐maker's preferences across the two types of experiments and over time, we find that the decision‐makers make similar trade‐offs across job characteristics in both types of experiments and in both time periods, except for the trade‐off between salary and other attributes. The valuation of salary falls significantly over time relative to other job attributes for both types of experiments. Also, within each period, salary is less valued in the profile case compared to the more traditional multi‐profile case.

AbstractAimPulmonary artery diastolic pressure (PADP) correlates closely with pulmonary wedge pressure (PAWP); therefore, we sought to evaluate whether an algorithm based on PADP assessment by the Doppler pulmonary regurgitation (PR) end‐diastolic gradient (PRG) may aid in estimating increased PAWP in cardiac patients with reduced or preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF).Methods and ResultsRight heart catheterization, with estimation of PAWP, right atrial pressure (RAP), PADP, and Doppler echocardiography, was carried out in 183 patients with coronary artery disease (n = 63), dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 52), or aortic stenosis (n = 68). One‐hundred and seventeen patients had LV EF <50%. We measured the pressure gradients across the tricuspid and pulmonary valves from tricuspid regurgitation (TRV) and PR velocities. Doppler‐estimated PADP (e‐PADP) was obtained by adding the estimated RAP to PRG. An algorithm based on e‐PADP to predict PAWP, that included TRV, left atrial volume index, and mitral E/A, was developed and validated in derivation (n = 90) and validation (n = 93) subgroups. Both invasive PADP (r = .92, P < .001) and e‐PADP (r = .72, P < .001) correlated closely with PAWP, and e‐PADP predicted PAWP (AUC: 0.85, CI: 0.79‐0.91) with a 94% positive predictive value (PPV) and a 55% negative predictive value (NPV), after exclusion of five patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension. The e‐PADP‐based algorithm predicted PAWP with higher accuracy (PPV = 94%; NPV = 67%; accuracy = 85%; kappa: 0.65, P < .001) than the ASE‐EACVI 2016 recommendations (PPV = 97%; NPV = 47%; accuracy = 68% undetermined = 18.9%; kappa: 0.15, P < .001).ConclusionsAn algorithm based on noninvasively e‐PADP can accurately predict increased PAWP in patients with cardiac disease and reduced or preserved LV EF.
Correction of hyponatremia by infusing D5W (5% dextrose in water solution) prefilter in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy: A case series
Authors: Lippold Cassiopia , Patel Ami 
Published: February 2020

AbstractPatients with severe hyponatremia and renal failure who require continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are at risk for overcorrection of their sodium level due to preformulated isotonic replacement or dialysate fluids. Rapid correction of hyponatremia can lead to serious neurologic complications including osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). There is limited data available in preventing overcorrection of severe hyponatremia with CRRT. It has been proposed to use reduced effluent volume to avoid overcorrection. However, there are instances where the CRRT prescription cannot be reduced due to other metabolic derangements. Herein, we present four cases using a calculated amount of dextrose 5% solution (D5W) prefilter as preblood pump to prevent overcorrection of hyponatremia while delivering recommended effluent volume of at least 20–25 mL/kg/hr in majority of cases. In each case, the rate of sodium correction did not exceed 8 mEq/day using D5W prefilter. Even in patients whose hyponatremia was initially overcorrected, adding calculated amount of amounts of D5W prefilter decreased the sodium level back down to prevent the risk of ODS. We also review a simplified equation to determine the D5W rate depending on the prescribed effluent volume.
Building a national case in interwar Egypt: Raya and Sakina's crimes through the pages of al‐Ahrām (Fall 1920)
Authors: Chiti Elena 
Published: February 2020

AbstractIn November 1920, the Alexandria police arrested two sisters, Raya and Sakina, along with their husbands and others, and charged them with the murder of seventeen women. At the end of a trial held in May 1921, the judges sentenced to death six members of the gang, yet it was Raya and Sakina who monopolized public attention as the first women sentenced to death in the Egyptian secular justice system. A century later, they are still alive in the Egyptian collective memory, which has turned them into a long‐lasting criminal myth and remembers them as former prostitutes, madams, and female murderers. Previous studies seem to see the myth as resulting from the supposedly exceptional character of the case. This paper is a first step toward exploring how this exceptionality was constructed and how it took on a national dimension after the announcement of Raya and Sakina's arrest. The focus is on al‐Ahrām, the main national daily newspaper at the time, which covered the issue systematically, providing information on the investigation while building the case in national terms. A micro‐historic approach to al‐Ahrām will enable a deconstruction of exceptionality through comparison with a precedent. An analysis incorporating both the precedent and Raya and Sakina's case will lead to a first hypothesis about the longevity of Raya and Sakina's case and the disappearance of the precedent from the Egyptian collective memory. This perspective offers insight into the connection between the press, public morality, and nation‐building in interwar Egypt, linking textual and extra‐textual realities and shedding light on the local aspects that make the nation. Indeed, the organization of al‐Ahrām in the provinces may be seen as a key factor in revealing what attracts national attention and what remains confined to a local dimension.
Global challenges in health and health care for nurses and midwives everywhere
Authors: Catton H 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe next decade is likely to produce any number of global challenges that will affect health and health care, including pan‐national infections such as the new coronavirus COVID‐19 and others that will be related to global warming. Nurses will be required to react to these events, even though they will also be affected as ordinary citizens. The future resilience of healthcare services will depend on having sufficient numbers of nurses who are adequately resourced to face the coming challenges.
QTL pyramiding for producing nutritious and safe rice grains
Authors: Huang Xin‐Yuan , Zhao Fang‐Jie 
Published: February 2020

AbstractBreeding of rice varieties that are enriched with essential micronutrients and simultaneously have reduced levels of toxic elements in grains is largely unexplored in rice breeding practice. In this issue of JIPB, Liu et al. (2020) developed two rice lines with a low level of cadmium and simultaneously high levels of zinc or selenium accumulation in the grains, thus providing elite genetic materials for breeding rice varieties that are important for addressing mineral malnutrition and ensuring food safety.
Dead or Alive: Racial Finance and the Corpse‐Value of the African American Slave Body
Authors: Bride Amy 
Published: February 2020

AbstractBased on the work completed during a research placement at the Library of Congress studying manuscripts held within the Black History Collection, the paper explores how studying the financial mechanics of the slave trade – from insurance to speculation, asset stripping to securities – reveal a horrific turning point in the history of slavery in which the black body became more valuable dead than alive. Not only did this turning point work to ‘legitimize’ the murder of African Americans, it also demonstrates how both physical and financial racial violence during the domestic slave trade has a direct relationship to the deregulation of the slave market and the subsequent corpse‐valuation of the slave body.

Published: February 2020

AbstractObjectiveThis study tested a transactional model of associations between couple relationship intimacy and one's own and one's partner's depressive symptoms across 10 years.BackgroundDepressive symptoms and couple relationship intimacy are important aspects of individual functioning and family well‐being. Partners' mental health and experiences in couple relationships may be interdependent.MethodSix waves of data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development were used. At each wave, 654 couples (654 men and 654 women all married and/or living together) reported their relationship intimacy and depressive symptoms. An actor–partner interdependence random intercept cross‐lagged panel model was estimated to examine reciprocal relations between men's and women's depressive symptoms and couple relationship intimacy.ResultsThe cross‐lagged paths showed that higher than personal average couple relationship intimacy perceived by men and women predicted intraindividual increases in their partner's perceptions of couple relationship intimacy at the next time point. Moreover, for women, higher than personal average relationship intimacy predicted subsequent intraindividual decreases in their depressive symptoms (while the reverse was not true), whereas for men, lower than average depressive symptoms predicted intraindividual increases in self‐perceived relationship intimacy (while the reverse was not significant).ConclusionWe found reverse temporal precedence of depressive symptoms and couple relationship intimacy for men and women. Partners' relationship intimacy was interdependent.
