Abstract
Multienvironment trials (METs) are widely used to assess the performance of promising crop germplasm. Though seldom designed to elucidate genetic mechanisms, MET data sets are often much larger than could be duplicated for genetic research and, given proper interpretation, may offer valuable insights into the genetics of adaptation across time and space. The Cooperative Dry Bean Nursery (CDBN) is a MET for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) grown for &gt; 70 years in the United States and Canada, consisting of 20–50 entries each year at 10–20 locations. The CDBN provides a rich source of phenotypic data across entries, years, and locations that is amenable to genetic analysis. To study stable genetic effects segregating in this MET, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using best linear unbiased predictions derived across years and locations for 21 CDBN phenotypes and genotypic data (1.2 million SNPs) for 327 CDBN genotypes. The value of this approach was confirmed by the discovery of three candidate genes and genomic regions previously identified in balanced GWAS. Multivariate adaptive shrinkage (mash) analysis, which increased our power to detect significant correlated effects, found significant effects for all phenotypes. Mash found two large genomic regions with effects on multiple phenotypes, supporting a hypothesis of pleiotropic or linked effects that were likely selected on in pursuit of a crop ideotype. Overall, our results demonstrate that statistical genomics approaches can be used on MET phenotypic data to discover significant genetic effects and to define genomic regions associated with crop improvement.
High-Pressure Phases in the Dhofar 922 L6 Chondrite: Crystallization of Olivine–Ringwoodite Aggregates and Jadeite from Melt

Published: March 2020

Abstract
—High-pressure phases (ringwoodite, maskelynite, and jadeite) present as coarse-grained fragments in the shock-melt vein of the Dhofar 922 L6 chondrite were studied by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Ringwoodite and jadeite crystallized from melted plagioclase and olivine fragments, respectively, at the cooling–decompression stage. We assume that the high contents of Fe and Mg in maskelynite–jadeite aggregates are due to a miscibility gap in the hedenbergite–jadeite and diopside–jadeite joins at ~600 and ~700 ºC, respectively. The P–T conditions of the formation of shock-melt veins are estimated at &gt;19 GPa and &gt;2150–2300 ºC.

Published: March 2020

The quality of machine translation has increased remarkably over the past years, to the degree that it was found to be indistinguishable from professional human translation in a number of empirical investigations. We reassess Hassan et al.'s 2018 investigation into Chinese to English news translation, showing that the finding of human–machine parity was owed to weaknesses in the evaluation design—which is currently considered best practice in the field. We show that the professional human translations contained significantly fewer errors, and that perceived quality in human evaluation depends on the choice of raters, the availability of linguistic context, and the creation of reference translations. Our results call for revisiting current best practices to assess strong machine translation systems in general and human–machine parity in particular, for which we offer a set of recommendations based on our empirical findings.

Published: March 2020

Against a background of substantial growth in publication output in health sciences at the University of Cape Town (UCT) over the past two decades, we examined the relationship between collaboration with domestic and foreign institutions and resulting citations of co-published work. We report on trends in authorship and citation impact for health sciences research at UCT across three 3-year periods: 1999–2001, 2006–2008 and 2013–2015. We examined numbers of collaborative publications with domestic and foreign co-authors; the status of collaboration with other African countries; the location of the ‘drivers’ of the research (with ‘drivers’ indicated by first or last authorship); and expected and observed citation counts – used as an indicator of impact – over time. We found that the relative citation rate of the set of UCT health sciences publications has increased; the set of 1999–2001 publications was less frequently cited than expected for the journals in which the publications appear, while the 2006–2008 and 2013–2015 sets were cited more frequently than expected. Relative citation rates were greater for papers for which UCT shared international co-authorship than for papers with UCT-only or domestic co-authorship. Our findings confirm reports in the literature of higher citation of internationally co-authored publications. We additionally found that the publications with the highest relative citation rates were driven by authors from foreign institutions.
Significance:

Methods are presented for extracting, measuring, analysing and representing the citation impact of collaborative research.
The relative citation rate of health sciences publications produced by UCT has increased and copublication with international authors has increased.
The findings confirm reports in the literature of higher citation of publications co-authored with international collaborators.
An apparent influence of foreign drivers on citation impact, holds risk for South African science.

Published: March 2020

In this study the labor productivity (LP) and the effects of main factors on LP in building projects in Sulaimani City practically on field sites were investigated for gypsum plastering (GP) works. Accordingly, the most important effective factors on LP were, height(h), number of skilled laborers (SkL) and Crew size (Cz). 30 practical data on field sites were practically observed.
The results showed that the minimum and maximum LP were between 10.53 and 23.73 m2/hr. The average LP was 15.2 m2/hr., while h=0-3 m, SkL=1-2 laborers and Cz=2-4 laborers. The study investigated that the h, SkL and Cz had a direct effect on LP, while it is found that the age and experience of laborers had a slight effect on LP. A model with a significant relation R 2 97.5% with the factors was found to predict the LP for gypsum plastering.

Published: March 2020

Background: Managers can avoid waste in resources and provide valuable insight by studying the variables associated with the costs in the intensive care units (ICU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the variable costs of ICUs and factors that contribute to cost structure in Iran.
Methods: A retrospective micro-costing method was performed on 468 admissions with a length of stay ≥ 24 hours in ICUs in a university hospital in 2017. The variable costs were consumables, laboratory tests, and medicines. The IBM SPSS24software was used to analyze the data.
Results: The variable costs per ICU day and patient were $94.14 and $1,309, respectively, and the total variable cost was $612,641. The costs for consumables, laboratory tests, and medicine were responsible for 19 %, 27 %, and 54 % of the variable costs, respectively. The average variable costs for non-survivors were 2.5 times higher than the other variables. Medicine was the key driver of costs in all ICUs. Overall, antibiotics, blood derivatives, blood biochemistry, blood group & Rh, cutter, and tracheal intubation had the highest costs.
Conclusion: To reduce the costs, national standard treatment guidelines and essential medicine lists based on treatments of the choice should be revised. Patients who are in the final stages of a terminal illness can continue their treatment at home-based care or alternative cares such as palliative to reduce the hospital costs.

Authors: Fitriaini Raisa 
Published: March 2020

Fiscal policy is a policy imposed by the government to influence economic activity in the real sector through expenditure and revenue. Fiscal policy help in smoothing business cycle fluctuations (boom or recession) makes it a potential tool for economic stabilization. Referring to the theory, fiscal policy should have a countercyclical behaviour. Vice versa, many evidence shows if the behaviour of fiscal policy diverse among countries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find the fiscal policy behaviour in ASEAN (2001-2018) using the Panel Least Square analysis tool. The estimation results show that the behaviour of fiscal policy in ASEAN are countercyclical for government revenue approach and fiscal balance approach, whereas government expenditure approach is procyclical.

Published: March 2020

This study aims to describe the concept of value chains as the basis for strategic management accounting design in three private universities in Kupang (East Nusa Tenggara). A qualitative approach with multiple case study methods is used in this study by focusing on the problems that arise as a result of the enactment of Law No. 12 of 2012 concerning PTN-BH concerns autonomy and decentralization. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at three leaders of private universities, they were chosen because they were considered to have the greatest role in improving the quality of the institutions they lead. This research offers a contribution in identifying competitive advantages in an effort to improve the quality of private universities. In addition, contributions in designing strategic management accounting are also carried out in order to assess their relative position against competitors. This study found ten main themes, namely the number of new students, the ratio of lecturers to students; recruitment of new lecturers; use of technology; national and international publications; public services; quality of lectures; quality of graduates and waiting period; infrastructure development and promotion. Value chain analysis is proven to be able to breaking down the university to determine relevant strategies in order to improve sustainable quality. This research also shows that the case study method can be a powerful tool in analyzing the value chain concept.

The Influence of Risk Attitude towards the Entrepreneurial Intention
Authors: Filmina Azzahra , Mayangsari Lidia 
Published: March 2020

Currently, Indonesia has a goal to increase the number of entrepreneurs for about 20,000 new enterprises in 2019. This number is increasing every year, which indicate the urgency of the government to emerge entrepreneurs within the society (Kompas, 2018). Many factors can form an entrepreneur. They can be encouraged from family background, hobbies, needs, and also through an educational system. A different method of teaching and treatment will drive different entrepreneurial results. Several studies show that entrepreneurs behave differently. Entrepreneurs create and manage their business to achieve their business goals. It makes the entrepreneur is having the willingness to give resource on it, such as pays the material used in the business, rent a place, and higher employee. It also makes them have more willingness to take the risk along the entrepreneurial activity (Paun, 2013). Therefore, the researcher wants to discover the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and risk attitude. This research uses a quantitative approach in order to explore the study and use a questionnaire as the tools. The result was analyzed using the single linear regression method with SPSS software. Single linear regression is a statistical method used to explain the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The independent variables in this research would be Risk Attitude, and the independent variable would be Entrepreneurial Intention. From that, the research hypotheses would be entrepreneurs risk attitude significantly affected entrepreneurial intention; the higher risk attitude of a person will increase their entrepreneurial intention.

Comparison of Effects of Different Social Media Contents on Awareness
Authors: Kanya Majesta Emmanuela , . Daniel T. H. Aruan 
Published: March 2020

Businesses in today’s world are starting to use social media to convey marketing messages. There is an ongoing trend among businesses to use casual language and post light, humorous content in social media, in order to reach and connect with their consumers better. This research would examine the influence of different types of a brand’s social media content towards awareness. The objects of this research are social media profiles of two different brands. A total of 420 respondents are split into two equal groups. The first group is given a profile that applies a more informal content and the second group is given a more formal content. Data is processed using Structural Equation Modeling method. Results show that there is an important variable that precedes awareness, which is brand credibility. Besides, a significant effect towards awareness is shown in the group that receives formal social media content, but less on the group with informal content. The results of this study shows that shaping brand awareness through social media should be done through shaping the consumers’ perception that the brand is credible and trustworthy.

Biomechanical Comparison of Different Fixation Techniques for Typical Acetabular Fractures in the Elderly
Authors: Chen Kaifang , Yang Fan , Yao Sheng , Xiong Zekang , Sun Tingfang , Guo Xiaodong 
Published: March 2020

Background:
Anterior column-posterior hemitransverse fractures are prevalent in the elderly and are often associated with quadrilateral surface (QLS) comminution. Several special QLS buttress plates have been introduced, but evidence of their comparability with traditional fixation devices is lacking. This biomechanical study aimed to compare special QLS buttress plates with traditional fixation devices.

Methods:
Anterior column-posterior hemitransverse fractures with an isolated QLS fragment were created on 24 composite hemipelves and were allocated to 4 fixation groups: (1) infrapectineal QLS buttress plate, (2) suprapectineal QLS buttress plate, (3) suprapectineal reconstruction plate with 3 periarticular long screws, and (4) infrapectineal reconstruction plate with 3 periarticular long screws. Specimens were loaded to simulate partial weight-bearing (35 to 350 N) or full weight-bearing (75 to 750 N). A testing machine was synchronized with a 3-dimensional video tracking system to optically track displacement at the points of interest and to calculate construct stiffness. The fixation systems were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests.

Results:
The experimental results of the partial and full weight-bearing simulations were surprisingly similar. During 40 loading cycles, the maximum displacement on the 6 predetermined points did not exceed 1.1 mm. Multiple-group comparisons of relative displacements of each predetermined measurement point did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). The suprapectineal reconstruction plate with 3 periarticular long screws demonstrated the greatest construct stiffness and significantly greater stiffness than the infrapectineal plate with long screws (p < 0.017). However, no significant difference (p > 0.017) in stiffness was identified between the infrapectineal QLS buttress plate and the suprapectineal reconstruction plate with long screws.

Conclusions:
The suprapectineal pelvic brim plate with 3 periarticular long screws remains the gold standard to treat anterior column-posterior hemitransverse fractures. The special infrapectineal QLS buttress plate provides stiffness and stability comparable with those of standard fixation. However, moving the pelvic brim plate from the suprapectineal border to the infrapectineal border is not recommended for anterior column-posterior hemitransverse fractures because it significantly decreases fixation stiffness.

Clinical Relevance:
Special QLS buttress plates may be an alternative fixation method for anterior column-posterior hemitransverse acetabular fractures in the elderly, especially when a less invasive anterior intrapelvic approach is selected.

Abstract
Background: Vibrio vulnificus hemolysin (VVH) is a pore-forming toxin secreted by Vibrio vulnificus . Cellular cholesterol was believed to be the receptor for VVH, because cholesterol could bind to VVH and preincubation with cholesterol inhibited cytotoxicity. It has been reported that specific glycans such as N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and N-acetyl-D-lactosamine bind to VVH, however, it has not been known whether these glycans could inhibit the cytotoxicity of VVH without oligomer formation. Thus, to date, binding mechanisms of VVH to cellular membrane, including specific receptors have not been elucidated. Results: We show here that VVH associates with ganglioside GM1a, Fucosyl-GM1, GD1a, GT1c, and GD1b by glycan array. Among them, GM1a could pulldown VVH. Moreover, the GD1a inhibited the cytotoxicity of VVH without the formation of oligomers. Conclusion: This is the first report of a molecule able to inhibit the binding of VVH to target cells without oligomerization of VVH.
Day centres for older people: attender characteristics, access routes and outcomes of regular attendance. Finding of exploratory mixed methods case study research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Social prescribing is encouraged to promote well-being, reduce isolation and loneliness. Traditional, generalist day centres for older people could be suggested by social prescribing, but little is known about their clientele or their outcomes. As part of a larger study of the role, outcomes and commissioning of generalist English day centres for older people, the characteristics of attenders at four day centres, their reasons for attendance and outcomes were explored. METHODS This mixed-methods study used qualitative interviews and standardised tools within an embedded multiple-case study design. Semi-structured interviews with older day centre attenders (n=23, 62% of eligible attenders) of four day centres in south-east England, recruited purposively to reflect organisational differences, were analysed. RESULTS Participants reported non-elective withdrawal from socialisation following health or mobility decline, or losses. Apart from living arrangements and marital status, attenders’ profiles differed between centres. Access had been mostly facilitated by others. Day centre attendance enhanced quality of life for this group of socially isolated people with mobility restrictions and at risk of declining independence and wellbeing. The positive impact on attenders' social participation and involvement and on meaningful occupation was significant (p-value <0.001, 99% CI), with an average ASCOT gain score of 0.18. Ten outcome themes were identified. CONCLUSION Outcomes of day centre attendance are those targeted by social care and health policy. Centres were communities that ‘enabled’ and offset loss or isolation, thus supporting ageing in place through wellbeing and contributed something unique to their attenders’ lives. By monitoring attenders’ health and wellbeing and providing practical support, information and facilitating access to other services, centres offered added value. Attendance needs to be set in the context of other social engagement and care provision which may not overlap or duplicate centre support. Professionals may wish to explore the benefits of social prescriptions to day centres but should map local centres’ provision, engage with their organisers, and seek information on attenders, who may differ from those in this study.
