Authors: Bodor Zs. , Benedek Cs. , Kaszab T. , Zaukuu J.-L. Zinia , Kertész I. , Kovacs Z. 
Published: November 2019

Honey is produced by honeybees from nectar, sap of plant parts, or the juicy material secreted by sucking insects living on trees. It is rich in nutritionally useful components, the occurrence of which highly depends on the botanical and geographical origin of honey. Our goal is to develop a new, rapid, and accurate combination of analytical methods for identification of botanical and geographical origin.
Physicochemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, moisture, and ash content), colour (L*a*b*), and antioxidant properties were determined in addition to correlative techniques, such as electronic tongue and near infrared spectroscopy. For the statistical evaluation ANOVA, principal component analysis, and linear discriminant analysis were applied.
Results showed significant differences (P<0.05) in physicochemical properties, colour, and antioxidant capacity according to the botanical origin of honeys. Electronic tongue (ET) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) techniques were useful in the identification of the botanical and geographical origin, showing generally good accuracy.
The physicochemical parameters are important and can serve as reference methods, completing NIR and ET as target techniques, which are promising, but need further improvement for the determination of honey origin.
Sexually transmitted infections in soldiers – a cross-sectional assessment in German paratroopers and navy soldiers and a literature review
Authors: Gottwald Carina , Schwarz Norbert Georg , Frickmann Hagen 
Published: November 2019

Introduction: The study was performed to estimate the prevalence and determinants of occurrence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in paratroopers and navy soldiers by anonymously analyzing medical records from the medical departments of two large German barracks in order to assess the need for medical STI prevention.
Methods: Medical records from 80 paratroopers and 80 navy soldiers were screened for records of STI. Results were anonymously collected next to information on risk factors, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic management, and comparatively assessed.
Results: Proportions of suspected STIs were 17.5% and 20%, and proportions of diagnosed STIs were 13.9% and 11.3% for paratroopers and navy soldiers, respectively. Chlamydia trachomatis, human papillomavirus, and genital scabies were observed in paratroopers and navy soldiers, while Gardnerella vaginalis, herpes simplex virus, Molluscum contagiosum virus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis were additionally identified in navy soldiers.
Conclusions: Although clinical hints for STIs were frequently observed, clinical management was usually restricted to syndrome-based antibiotic treatment without detailed diagnostic workup, leaving room for procedural improvement. Ongoing need for medical STI prevention in the military could be confirmed.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis struktur, perilaku, dan kinerja pemasaran udang di Indonesia. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang diperoleh dari Badan Karantina Ikan Pengendalian Mutu dan Keamanan Hasil Perikanan Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan dan BPS. Pendekatan struktur pasar menggunakan analisis CR4 (Concentration Ratio for Biggest Four) dan analisis IHH (Indeks Hirschman Herfindahl). Pendekatan perilaku pasar menggunakan analisis deskriptif kualitatif berkenaan dengan pasar yang menjadi obyek penelitian. Analisis kinerja pasar udang menggunakan pendekatan Price Cost Margin dan Market Efficiency Indeks (MEI). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekspor udang masih didominasi oleh udang beku (58,78%) ke Amerika Serikat dan Jepang. Selanjutnya, hasil ini mengindikasikan bahwa udang olahan memiliki struktur pasar yang lebih bersaing dibandingkan udang beku karena jumlah perusahaan lebih banyak dengan hambatan masuk pasar yang lebih mudah. Sifat oligopoli pada industri udang menyebabkan sulitnya memperoleh informasi untuk memasuki pasar udang ini karena adanya tekanan yang kuat dari masing-masing industri. Perilaku pasar udang yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan adalah melalui strategi harga, diversifikasi produk dan promosi. Hal ini berimplikasi pada potensi pengembangan industri udang beku karena jumlah perusahaan masih sedikit dan harga lebih tinggi dibandingkan harga udang olahan. Title: Analysis of Structure, Behavior and Performance of Indonesian Shrimp MarketsThe aims of this study are to analyze structure, behavior and performance of Indonesian shrimp market. Data used are secondary data obtained from the Agency of Fish Quarantine and Quality Fishery Product, Ministry of Marine and Fisheries and Statistic Central Bureau (BPS). Structural analysis using Concentration Ratio for Biggest Four (CR4) and Hirschman Herfindahl Index analysis (IHH). Market behavior approach using qualitative descriptive analysis related to markets as research object. Market performance analysis using Market Efficiency Index analysis (MEI). The results showed that shrimp exports were still dominated by frozen shrimp (58.78%) to the United State and Japan. Furthermore, the result indicated that shrimp processed have a more competitive market structure than frozen shrimp due to the greater number of companies with easier barriers to market entry. The nature of oligopoly in this industry makes it difficult to obtain information to move the shrimp market because it produces strong pressure from each industry. Shrimp market behavior carried out by the company is through pricing, product diversification and promotion strategies. This has implications for the potential development of the frozen shrimp industry because the number of companies is still small and the price is higher than the price of processed shrimp.

Abstract

Background
Palliative systematic treatment offers uncertain and often limited benefits, and the burden can be high. Hence, treatment decisions require shared decision making (SDM). This trial examined the independent and combined effect of an oncologist training and a patient communication aid on SDM.

Methods
In this multicenter randomized controlled trial with four parallel arms (2016–2018), oncologists (n = 31) were randomized to receive SDM communication skills training or not. The training consisted of a reader, two group sessions, a booster session, and a consultation room tool (10 hours). Patients (n = 194) with advanced cancer were randomized to receive a patient communication aid or not. The aid consisted of education on SDM, a question prompt list, and a value clarification exercise. The primary outcome was observed SDM as rated by blinded observers from audio-recorded consultations. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported SDM, patient and oncologist satisfaction, patients’ decisional conflict, patient quality of life 3 months after consultation, consultation duration, and the decision made.

Results
The oncologist training had a large positive effect on observed SDM (Cohen's d = 1.12) and on patient-reported SDM (d = 0.73). The patient communication aid did not improve SDM. The combination of interventions did not add to the effect of training oncologists only. The interventions affected neither patient nor oncologist satisfaction with the consultation nor patients’ decisional conflict, quality of life, consultation duration, or the decision made.

Conclusion
Training medical oncologists in SDM about palliative systemic treatment improves both observed and patient-reported SDM. A patient communication aid does not. The incorporation of skills training in (continuing) educational programs for medical oncologists is likely to stimulate the widely advocated uptake of shared decision making in clinical practice.

Abstract

Background
Owing to the rarity of this tumor, there is limited information about second-line chemotherapy for patients with previously treated advanced thymic carcinoma.

Material and Methods
We performed a multi-institutional, retrospective study named NEJ023 for patients with advanced thymic carcinoma. Patients without indications for curative treatment were treated with chemotherapy from 1995 to 2014 at 40 institutions in the North East Japan Study Group. Demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics, data on treatment methods, and outcomes of second-line chemotherapy were obtained from medical records.

Results
In total, 191 patients were enrolled in this study. Second-line chemotherapy included platinum-based doublets in 57.6% of patients, other multidrug chemotherapy (e.g., cisplatin, doxorubicin, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide) in 13.6%, and monotherapy in 28.8%. The median follow-up time was 50.5 months, and the median overall survival (OS) from the start of second-line chemotherapy was 22.4 (95% confidence interval, 17.5-26.7) months. The average response rate (RR) was 20.0% overall; it was 21.6% for patients treated with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, 13.6% for those treated with other multidrug chemotherapy, and 19.6% for those treated with single agent chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in OS between platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, other multidrug chemotherapy, and monotherapy (the median OS was 22.4, 25.7, and 21.4 months, respectively).

Conclusion
The median OS was 22.4 months in patients with advanced thymic carcinoma treated with second-line chemotherapy. There were no significant differences in RR and OS between monotherapy and multidrug chemotherapy in this study.
First report of the isolation of entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema australe (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) from South Africa
Authors: Lephoto Tiisetso E. , Gray Vincent M. 
Published: November 2019

A survey was conducted in Walkerville, south of Johannesburg (Gauteng, South Africa) between 2012 and 2016 to ascertain the diversity of entomopathogenic nematodes in the area. Entomopathogenic nematodes are soil-dwelling microscopic worms with the ability to infect and kill insects, and thus serve as eco-friendly control agents for problem insects in agriculture. Steinernematids were recovered in 1 out of 80 soil samples from uncultivated grassland; soil was characterised as loamy. The entomopathogenic nematodes were identified using molecular and morphological techniques. The isolate was identified as Steinernema australe. This report is the first of Steinernema australe in South Africa. S. australe was first isolated worldwide from a soil sample obtained from the beach on Isla Magdalena – an island in the Pacific Ocean, 2 km from mainland Chile.
Significance:

Entomopathogenic nematodes are only parasitic to insects and are therefore important in agriculture as they can serve as eco-friendly biopesticides to control problem insects without effects on the environment, humans and other animals, unlike chemical pesticides.

Exploring the prevalence of the sexually transmitted marks phenomenon in higher education institutions
Authors: Ncube Mthuthukisi 
Published: November 2019

Countries steadfastly pursue academia as a necessary step towards socio-economic development, which places a mandate on institutions of higher learning to stir host-country economies through university deliverables. In Zimbabwe, this entails the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development’s ‘doctrine’ spelling out the philosophy of ‘Education 5.0’ which emphasises teaching/learning, research, community engagement, innovation, and commercialisation of goods and services. However, academic dishonesty, such as that through ‘sexually transmitted marks’ (STM), threatens the realisation of such mandates. Although the norm is that such sexual transactions are initiated by academics, evidence shows students also initiate such relationships. Consequently, efforts to eliminate this threat to academic integrity should not only focus on lecturers, but also be extended to students. This paper contributes towards unmasking experiences of STM between male lecturers and female students, female lecturers and male students, and female students and male students, as determined from former university students and university alumni in Bulawayo. Exposing these practices allows for open consultation and adoption of good practices from similar institutions worldwide.
Significance:

The majority of respondents all attested to having experienced STM directly or indirectly during their years of study.
An explicit STM regulation policy targeting all actors across universities is needed.

Exploring Multiple Disciplines in Building Design Practice
Authors: Awomolo Olaitan 
Published: November 2019

While there are numerous benefits to working in teams comprising multiple disciplines, we do not have sufficient documented information on the functioning of multi-disciplinary teams in the building design context. As functioning impacts project outcomes, an understanding of the operation of building design teams comprising multiple disciplines is important.
To contribute to the body of knowledge that addresses this gap, this paper examines literature on disciplinary types and team performance. Using an analytic framework identified in literature, this paper studies the organizational and social aspects of building design practice in order to shed light on the ways in which the multiple disciplines involved building design work together. Findings presented in this paper suggest that building design teams combine and integrate knowledge, skills and capabilities in a multidisciplinary manner. In addition, this paper discusses four social and organizational characteristics of multidisciplinary building design teams – the project delivery approach, disciplinary roles, preexisting social and professional relationships, and location and geographic proximity – and documents their impacts on team functioning.

Face Image Set Recognition Based On Improved HOG-NMF and Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Hao Lixiu , Yu Weiwei 
Published: November 2019

Objective Face recognition can be affected by unfavorable factors such as illumination, posture and expression, but the face image set is a collection of people’s various angles, different illuminations and even different expressions, which can effectively reduce these adverse effects and get higher face recognition rate. In order to make the face image set have higher recognition rate, a new method of combining face image set recognition is proposed, which combines an improved Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) feature and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Method The method firstly segments the face images to be identified and performs HOG to extract features of the segmented images. Secondly, calculate the information entropy contained in each block as a weight coefficient of each block to form a new HOG features, and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is applied to reduce HOG features. Then the reduced-dimensional HOG features are modeled as image sets which keep your face details as much as possible. Finally, the modeled image sets are classified by using a convolutional neural network. Result The experimental results show that compared with the simple CNN method and the HOG-CNN method, the recognition rate of the method on the CMU PIE face set is increased by about 4%~10%. Conclusion The method proposed in this paper has more details of the face, overcomes the adverse effects, and improves the accuracy.
