Training system for converting current visual information to bird’s-eye view
Authors: Sumi Kaoru , Okuyama Ryo 
Published: December 2024

IntroductionEffective decision-making in ball games requires the ability to convert positional information from a first-person perspective into a bird’s-eye view. To address this need, we developed a virtual reality (VR)-based training system designed to enhance spatial cognition.MethodsUsing a head-mounted virtual reality display, participants engaged in tasks where they tracked multiple moving objects in a virtual space and reproduced their positions from a bird’s-eye perspective. The system simulated game-like scenarios to systematically train this cognitive skill. Participants’ performance was assessed before and after the training.ResultsThe experimental results revealed significant improvements in spatial accuracy and cognitive ability among participants after using the system. These enhancements were measured by their ability to accurately convert first-person positional data into a bird’s-eye perspective.DiscussionThe findings suggest that the VR-based system effectively enhances perceptual-cognitive skills critical for team sports and other tasks requiring advanced spatial awareness. This training method holds potential for broader applications in spatially demanding activities.

Authors: Xu Changdan , Zhang Hong , Yin Shiquan 
Published: December 2024

BackgroundThe KAP survey evaluates health-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices through a structured questionnaire. By collecting qualitative and quantitative data, it measures the current situation, tests hypotheses, and provides insights for enhancing health behaviors and education. In 2019, the National Health Security Administration (NHSA) initiated DRG payment reforms. This study aims to improve the quality of health insurance and policy implementation by assessing physicians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the DRG system.MethodThis study was a cross-sectional study designed with a questionnaire through simple random sampling method, and respondents were the doctors in the clinical departments of the sampled hospitals. The questionnaire included basic information, knowledge about DRGs, attitude toward DRGs and practice of implementation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis, correlation, path analysis and generalized linear model.ResultA total of 210 questionnaires were included. The majority of respondents aware that their healthcare organizations had already begun to implement the policy. With a mean score of 7.67 for knowledge, respondents basically had a good level of knowledge of DRGs. The mean attitude score of the respondents was 30.20, which was lower than the “positive attitude” criterion, and their main concerns were about matters other than treatment. Knowledge scores were significantly correlated with attitude scores (P &lt; 0.001), whereas attitude scores were not associated with practice scores. Path analysis and generalized linear modeling indicate that knowledge effectively influences attitudes, whereas attitudes do not have an apparent impact on practice.ConclusionOncologists' understanding of DRGs needs to be improved, and their knowledge and attitudes have not yet translated into demonstrable positive practice behaviors. This gap underscores the need for knowledge training and effective incentives.

Published: December 2024

BackgroundThe teams' collective playing strategy rather than the individual player attitudes could explain event outcome and risk of injuries.ObjectiveThe study aimed to examine the playing style of European teams and compare it to the USA.Method12 matches from the U19 European championship of American Football were analysed. We characterized each team by their running-passing activities ratio during the offensive phase: running (RUN), passing (PASS), or balanced (BAL).ResultsThe BAL style of play accurately described 75% of European teams (n = 6). The remaining two national teams adopted either the RUN or PASS style of play. This finding is similar to what was observed in NCAA Division IA. All RUN style teams had a higher percentage of rushing plays (80.7% ± 9.7%) compared to PASS (33.0% ± 14.7%) and BAL teams (46.0 ± 0.8%) (p &lt; 0.05). The mean playing time for RUN and PASS teams was longer than the average duration of plays for BAL teams (p &lt; 0.05). The mean duration of plays ranged from 5.3 ± 1.9 to 5.7 ± 2.1 s, with a significant style of play effect (p &lt; 0.05). Rest duration for BAL teams (46.7 ± 44.1 s) was shorter than that of RUN (55.9 ± 34.7 s) and PASS (54.5 ± 32.9 s) teams (p &lt; 0.05). Finally, the European top final team was the team that was able to shift their game style during the tournament and presented a low coefficient of variation in offensive plays per drive.ConclusionBased on the running-passing activities ratio, the video match analysis can provide a foundation for the strength and conditioning program for long-term athlete development and injury prevention.
A cross-sectional survey of farmer reported prevalence and farm management practices associated with neonatal infectious arthritis (“joint ill”) in lambs, on UK sheep farms
Authors: Jackson L. P. , Higgins H. M. , Duncan J. S. 
Published: December 2024

IntroductionNeonatal infectious arthritis (NIA) is a bacterial disease of lambs in the first month of life. NIA is associated with poor animal welfare, economic losses, and prophylactic antibiotic use. Farmers report problems with NIA despite following current guidance on prevention. The aim of this study was to estimate NIA UK incidence, describe current management practices for NIA control, and farm management risk factors associated with NIA.MethodsA cross-sectional, online questionnaire of UK sheep farmers was carried out between June and October 2020. Descriptive statistics, and univariable and multivariable risk factor analysis was undertaken.ResultsOf the 322 respondents, 64% reported joint ill cases in the 2020 lambing period. The median within flock incidence was 1.4% (IQR 0.8–2.6%; 95% CI, 1.2–1.6). Seventeen percent of farmers estimated their current treatment efficacy for NIA was less than 50%. Eleven percent of farmers used prophylactic or metaphylactic antibiotics in all lambs to prevent NIA occurrence. Across all flocks, risk factor associated with NIA occurrence was the number of ewes lambed (301–600; OR, 3.9; 95% CI 1.9–8.0. &gt;600; OR, 13.7; 95% CI, 5.4–34.4). In outdoor lambing flocks, increased risk of joint ill was associated with the number of ewes lambed (&gt;600 ewes; OR, 34.7; 95% CI, 6.6–182.7), not providing outdoor shelter to lambing ewes (OR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.2–7.8), and not cleaning ear tags (OR, 5.7; 95% CI, 1.5–21.4). Using antibiotics as a preventative measure was associated with a reduced risk of joint ill (OR, 0.1; 95% CI, 0.01–0.4). In indoor lambing flocks, increased risk of joint ill was associated with upland flocks (OR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.3–6.8), number of lambs born alive (501–1,000; OR, 4.1; 95% CI, 1.6–10.7. &gt;1,000; OR, 14.0; 95% CI, 4.0–48.9), and not washing hands (OR, 3.6; 95% CI, 1.2–10.6).ConclusionNIA was reported in indoor and outdoor lambing flocks. A pattern of risk factors associated with increasing intensity of lambing was observed. Prophylactic antibiotic use was associated with a reduced risk of NIA in outdoor flocks, however, NIA still occurred in flocks where this was practiced. More veterinary involvement is advised in the diagnosis, treatment protocols, and prevention of NIA.

Published: December 2024

In this paper, we introduce the workflow for converting qubit circuits represented by Open Quantum Assembly format (OpenQASM, also known as QASM) into the qudit form for execution on qudit hardware and provide a method for translating qudit experiment results back into qubit results. We present the comparison of several qudit transpilation regimes, which differ in decomposition of multicontrolled gates: qubit as ordinary qubit transpilation and execution, qutrit with d=3 levels and single qubit in qudit, and ququart with d=4 levels and 2 qubits per ququart. We provide several examples of transpiling circuits for trapped ion qudit processors, which demonstrate potential advantages of qudits.

Published: December 2024

Background: Irinotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor used for the treatment of various cancers, such as gastrointestinal, pancreatic, pulmonary, ovarian, and cervical cancers. Among chemotherapy agents, it represents a rare trigger of drug hypersensitivity reactions, with few cases being reported until today. Methods: We present the case of a patient with metastatic esophageal cancer and a history of irinotecan-induced grade IV (WAO classification) anaphylaxis. An IgE-mediated reaction was confirmed in our case, as evidenced by a positive intradermal skin test result, and we carried out a successful desensitization protocol, given irinotecan’s indispensability in the treatment regimen. Our case underscores the fact that in such situations where the culprit drug is also the only therapeutic option available for such a patient, implementing a desensitization protocol may represent the only viable approach to ensure safe and successful dosing. Results: A comprehensive review of the literature was also conducted to assess previously reported irinotecan-induced hypersensitivity reactions, the utility of skin tests in identifying sensitisation to irinotecan, and the existing desensitization protocols. We found a total of seventeen cases of hypersensitivity reactions to irinotecan in the literature, out of which four provided the skin test results obtained and six performed desensitization protocols for irinotecan. Conclusions: Our literature review highlights that skin testing and desensitization protocols can provide suitable solutions for managing hypersensitivity reactions to irinotecan.

Published: December 2024

В статье исследуются пространственные, сезонные и многолетние закономерности динамики выгоревших площадей в пойме Нижнего Дона. Эта территория имеет огромное прирородоохранное и хозяйственное значение. После постройки Цимлянского гидроузла именно здесь сосредоточены нерестилища полупроходных и проходных рыб бассейна Азовского моря. Авторы используют многолетний архив данных по материалам автоматизированной идентификации выгоревших площадей на основе спектрорадиометра MODIS (спутники Terraи Aqua) за 2001-2019 гг., а также методы геоинформационной обработки. На основе пространственного анализа и оверлейных операций определены величины выгоревших площадей на двенадцати основных займищах поймы в нижнем течении Дона. Показано, что общая выго- ревшая площадь за период исследований превыси- ла 150 тыс. га, что составляет примерно полови- ну всех пойменных земель Нижнего Дона. Авторы установили, что большая часть выгоревших пло- щадей приходится на август и сентябрь, также значительные площади в дельте бывают пройде- ны огнем в марте и апреле. Констатируется, что наибольшая повторяемость пожаров за период исследований составила 10 сезонов, причем более четверти всей территории была пройдена огнем два и более раза. Разработанные электронные карты могут быть использованы для оптимиза- ции мероприятий противопожарной профилак- тики в исследуемом регионе.
The article researches the spatial, seasonal and long-term patterns of the burnt-out areas dynamics in the Lower Don floodplain. This area is of great nature conser-vation and economic importance. After the construction of the Tsimlyansk hydroelec-tric complex, the spawning grounds of semi-anadromous and anadromous fish of the Azov Sea basin are concentrated here. The authors use a long-term data archive on the materials of burned-out areas automated identification based on the MODIS spectroradiometer (Terra and Aqua satellites) for 2001-2019, as well as methods of geoinformation processing. On the basis of spatial analysis and overlay operations, the val-ues of the burned-out areas were determined in twelve major floodplain areas in the lower reaches of the Don. It was shown that the total area burned out during the research period exceeded 150 thousand hectares, which is about half of all the flood-plain lands of the Lower Don. The authors found that most of the burned-out areas fall on August and September, and significant areas in the delta are burned in March and April. It is stated that the highest frequency of fires during the research period was 10 seasons, and more than a quarter of the entire territory was covered by fire two or more times. The developed electronic maps can be used to optimize fire prevention measures in the region under study.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of human resource management (HRM) intensity on employee innovation behavior in technology companies located in the western and southwestern regions of China. The research specifically examines how psychological safety and psychological capital mediate the relationship between HRM practices and innovation behavior, drawing on the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory and the Innovative Path Model. We employed a quantitative research methodology, administering structured surveys to employees in selected technology firms to collect data. The study focuses on HRM as the independent variable, with psychological safety and psychological capital serving as mediators, and employee innovation behavior as the dependent variable. The findings suggest that robust HRM practices contribute to creating a supportive environment that fosters psychological resources, which in turn enhances innovation behavior among employees. This study highlights the critical role of HRM in promoting innovation within technology firms in China's western and southwestern regions. By prioritizing HRM strategies that enhance psychological safety and capital, companies can effectively stimulate innovative behaviors, thereby gaining a competitive edge in the industry.

Authors: Li Jiaqi 
Published: December 2024

With the continuous growth of new energy vehicle sales, consumer demand has gradually changed, and traditional marketing strategies have been unable to adapt to the complexity of the future market environment. Therefore, corporate management needs to make timely adjustments to product positioning based on the actual market situation and changes in consumer demand. This study takes Company A, a representative company in the new energy vehicle industry, as an example to explore the antecedent factors that affect consumer purchasing behavior and analyze how Company A can optimize its marketing strategy to adapt to market changes. We explored the factors influencing new energy vehicle purchasing behavior through a questionnaire survey of consumers. The study found that product factors have the most significant impact on consumers, followed by policy factors, publicity factors, consumer concepts, supporting facilities, and price factors. We propose suggestions for improving Company A's marketing strategy based on the SWOT analysis, with a focus on optimizing five aspects: product strategy, promotion strategy, price strategy, channel strategy, and supporting facility construction, to enhance Company A's market competitiveness and meet the diverse needs of consumers.

Authors: Nakib Arman Mohammad 
Published: December 2024

Access to fresh water has become a headache for many nations around the world today due to water scarcity. Since this aspect is increasing, this paper introduces a system to estimate the households’ water needs in a day taking into consideration, the size of the family, zone, temperature, season, working status, location, and religion. By applying machine learning, the system determines the balance of water distribution between the families by these parameters. The predicted values determine the water requirements for each household hence the distribution of water in the households on a particular day. This includes the use of an Arduino microcontroller, water flow meter, and solenoid valves that make the water supply system to be an automatic system. As a result of this, the system helps to control the wastage of water and also ensures that the amount of water required in each home is assessed accurately.
DSTATCOM-BASED 15 LEVEL ASYMMETRICAL MULTILEVEL INVERTER FOR IMPROVING POWER QUALITY
Authors: Sundaramoorthi Panneerselvam , Venkatesh Govindasamy Saravana 
Published: December 2024

This study suggests an asymmetric multilevel inverter based on DSTATCOM that employs SVPWM techniques to produce higher output levels. There are two steps in the suggested inverter. One full bridge and two half bridges make up the inverter's main stage. A full bridge converter had four switches and a single DC source, while half bridges have separate DC sources with a voltage ratio of 1:3:3. Every cell has a fixed neutral point and is connected in a cascaded fashion. The inverter's performance is not improved by setting the DC source values equally. A folded cascaded H-bridge circuit running at a line frequency makes up the second circuit. Control plan PWM's space vector modulation was used to verify the suggested topology. Each control scheme's specific methodology as well as switching pulses are covered in great detail. In MATLAB/Simulink, the suggested system has been simulated with an output voltage of 350 V and an output current of roughly 3.5 A.
