Authors: Suarni  , Sulistyaningrum Anna , Aqil Muh. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Sorghum is a potential food ingredient with adequate nutritional content like other cereals, and has added value with high mineral Fe content. However, sorghum has the disadvantage of high tannin content which is antinutrient and susceptible to warehouse pests. Storage of sorghum in panicle form by providing hot steam treatment will provide added value because it can extend shelf life. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of evaporation treatment on sorghum quality during storage. This study used a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The tried factors included sorghum (S) varieties, namely: Numbu (S1), Local (S1); evaporation time (T), i.e. 0 minutes / without evaporation (T0), 15 minutes (T1), 25 minutes (T2), 35 minutes (T3); and shelf life (L); 0 months (L0), 2 months (L1), 4 months (L2). The results showed that the evaporation treatment was effective in maintaining the nutritional content of sorghum both Local and Numbu varieties, reducing yield loss due to warehouse pest attacks and reducing its tannin content. Treatment of sorghum panicle evaporation for 15 minutes, both Local and Numbu varieties of sorghum can maintain nutritional content for up to 4 months with an average water content of 11.37%, ash content of 1.89%, fat content of 2.65%, protein content 8.92%, carbohydrate 75.15%, yield loss of 9.94%, and normal aroma. Sorghum storage technology with the evaporation method can reduce tannin components so that it is an added value because it is expected that sorghum flour ingredients contain very low tannin and its contribution for food diversification.

Abstract
A farmercorporation-based seed production system is needed to bring seeds closer to farmers. Its developmen requires support from several institutions related to the policy of providing seeds for farmers. This study aims to determine the role of the institution in the farmer-based hybrid maize production system. Five institutions evaluated for their role, namely Indonesian Cereals Research Institute (ICERI) as a source of seeds and technology, Assessment for Agricultural Technology (AIAT) as aassistence for application technology in the field, Agricultural Service Office as a policymaker in available seed for farmer, Seed Certification and Inspection Center (SSO) as the supervisor of seed quality, and the grower local as an absorber of the results by farmer groups. The role of the institution is observed through: socialization activity, field observations, and discussions. The results showed that all institutions have gave various supports. ICERI has provided seeds in a timelymanner, the right quality and the right quantity, and also conducts regular training and monitoring to provide instructions for implementing good technology application to farmers and by farmers it is considered very good. AIAT provides field assistance for the application of production technology, but the activities are considered by farmers to be inadequate, the staff of Agriculture Service continue to motivate farmers and farmers are deemed adequate. SCIC as a seed supervisor continues to assist farmers in the field, in addition to monitoring irregularities, it also continues to provide guidance to farmers in accordance withthe standar operational procedure of hybrid maize seeds and is considered very good by farmers. Then the seed producers who absorb the results of the farmers have carried out excellent guidance such as placing quality control personnel in the field to control implementation, absorbing farmers’ products at an agreed price, building a processing unit in the site area, and by the farmers it is considered very good. With adequate support from related institutions, farmers continue to be motivated to produce hybrid maize seeds, which were originally only 100 ha in Minahasa district, then expanded to surrounding districts, sothat the area production increase from 253,4 ha in 2019 to 480 ha in 2020.

Abstract
North Sulawesi is one of the areas with great potential in supporting the production and productivity of hybrid maize seeds. The land available for the cultivation of hybrid maize seeds is very wide, the requirements for agro-climatic are simple, the technology is readily available, so that the prospect of profits for the cultivator is quite large. Most of the maize farmers in North Sulawesi tend to use hybrid seeds. This is because the yield obtained is very high, however, the availability of hybrid seeds is very limited, even if available, the price is quite expensive. Farmers are currently still dependent on seed assistance from the Government. Production of seeds through breeder farmers as a solution in order to increase corn production. NASA 29 variety is a new superior variety derived from male parents G102612 and Mal 03 as female parents. The results of the interview showed that 86% of the 25 respondents of maize farmers gave an average rating score of 3.8. This shows that they really like the characteristics of the plant. The production data for NASA 29 seed candidates is 3.6 tons / ha. These results indicate that the prospect of hybrid maize seeding business is profitable for breeder farmers.
Slow axisymmetric rotation of a sphere in a circular tube with slip surfaces
Authors: Lee Ming C , Keh Huan J 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The steady rotation of a slip spherical particle about a diameter lying along the longitudinal axis of a slip circular tube filled with an incompressible Newtonian fluid at low Reynolds numbers is analyzed. To solve the Stokes equations for the fluid flow, the solution is constituted by the summation of general solutions in both cylindrical and spherical coordinates. The boundary conditions are implemented first along the tube wall via the Fourier cosine transform and then over the particle surface through a collocation method. Results of the resisting torque acting on the particle are obtained for various values of the relevant dimensionless parameters. The effect of the confining tube on the axisymmetric rotation of the particle with slip surfaces is interesting. The torque increases monotonically with an increase in the stickiness of the tube wall, keeping the other parameters unchanged. When the stickiness of the tube wall is greater than a critical value, the torque is greater than that on the particle in an unbounded identical fluid and increases with increases in the stickiness of the particle surface and particle-to-tube radius ratio. When the stickiness of the tube wall is less than the critical value, conversely, the torque is smaller than that on the unconfined particle and decreases with increases in the particle stickiness and radius ratio.
Comparison of GA, ACO algorithm, and PSO algorithm for path optimization on free-form surfaces using coordinate measuring machines
Authors: Chen Yueping , Shang Naiqi 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) play an important role in modern manufacturing and inspection technologies. However, the inspection process of a CMM is recognized as time-consuming work. The low efficiency of coordinate measuring machines has given rise to new inspection strategies and methods, including path optimization. This study describes the optimization of an inspection path on free-form surfaces using three different algorithms: an ant colony optimization algorithm, a genetic algorithm, and a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The optimized sequence of sampling points is obtained in MATLAB R2020b software and tested on a Leitz Reference HP Bridge Type Coordinate Measuring Machine produced by HEXAGON. This study compares the performance of the three algorithms in theoretical and practical conditions. The results demonstrate that the use of the three algorithms can result in a collision-free path being found automatically and reduce the inspection time. However, owing to the different optimization methodologies, the optimized processes and optimized times of the three algorithms, as well as the optimized paths, are different. The results indicate that the ant colony algorithm has better performance for the path optimization of free-form surfaces.
“The Only Industry That Can Make Us Hold Our Own”: Black Agrarianism in South Africa from a Transatlantic Perspective, ca. 1910–1930
Authors: Tischler Julia 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
By exploring agricultural education initiatives in South Africa in the period from the 1910s to the 1930s, this article seeks to expand the historiography of both Black internationalism and global progressivism to include Black agrarianism and questions of race from a transatlantic perspective. In their efforts to promote scientific farming, Black progressive farmers in the Eastern Cape reserves made strategic use of the famous educational philosophy of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama as an enabling discourse that allowed them to gain an audience for their specific, localized claims to economic and political participation in a segregationist country. While the existing historiography has discussed Tuskegee’s impact in Africa as an example of oppressive labor education, this article argues that Black agrarian progressivism should be taken seriously as a form of antiracism and Pan-Africanism, albeit one that was classist and patriarchal.

Abstract

Objective
This study aimed to generate updated normative data for commonly used tests in neuropsychological assessment applied to older monolingual Spanish-speaking adults: Verbal fluency tests, the Trail Making Test (TMT), and the Rey–Osterrieth complex figure test (ROCF).

Method
To obtain normative data, 382 cognitively healthy 60- to 90-year-old Spanish monolingual participants from the Autonomous Community of Madrid (Spain) with 0–22 years education were assessed using an overlapping interval strategy that involved cell and midpoint techniques, and that assessed the influence of age, education, and sex.

Results
Age and education were associated with the scores in the verbal fluency tests, TMT, and ROCF, whereas sex only significantly affected the TMT results. Age-adjusted scaled scores (SSA) based on percentile ranks were also converted into age–education scaled scores (SSAE) using a linear regression model. In addition, tables with the relevant adjustments for sex are provided for TMT-A and TMT-B.

Conclusions
Thus, this study provides updated, uniform normative data for widely used neuropsychological tests on older Spanish adults. The normative procedure followed helps to make consistent comparisons when using these neuropsychological tests, which will improve the interpretation of the data obtained when these tools are employed, reducing the risk of misdiagnosing cognitive impairment in older adults.

AbstractVeterinary diagnostic laboratories derive thousands of nucleotide sequences from clinical samples of swine pathogens such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), Senecavirus A and swine enteric coronaviruses. In addition, next generation sequencing has resulted in the rapid production of full-length genomes. Presently, sequence data are released to diagnostic clients but are not publicly available as data may be associated with sensitive information. However, these data can be used for field-relevant vaccines; determining where and when pathogens are spreading; have relevance to research in molecular and comparative virology; and are a component in pandemic preparedness efforts. We have developed a centralized sequence database that integrates private clinical data using PRRSV data as an exemplar, alongside publicly available genomic information. We implemented the Tripal toolkit, a collection of Drupal modules that are used to manage, visualize and disseminate biological data stored within the Chado database schema. New sequences sourced from diagnostic laboratories contain: genomic information; date of collection; collection location; and a unique identifier. Users can download annotated genomic sequences using a customized search interface that incorporates data mined from published literature; search for similar sequences using BLAST-based tools; and explore annotated reference genomes. Additionally, custom annotation pipelines have determined species, the location of open reading frames and nonstructural proteins and the occurrence of putative frame shifts. Eighteen swine pathogens have been curated. The database provides researchers access to sequences discovered by veterinary diagnosticians, allowing for epidemiological and comparative virology studies. The result will be a better understanding on the emergence of novel swine viruses and how these novel strains are disseminated in the USA and abroad.Database URLhttps://swinepathogendb.org
Exploring English as a ‘glocal language’ in online EMEMUS
Authors: Helm Francesca 
Published: November 2021

AbstractCOVID-19 led to a transition to ‘remote emergency teaching’ in higher-education contexts across the globe. The impact of this on English-medium education in multilingual university settings (EMEMUS) contexts is yet to be fully understood, but it is clear that it will be long lasting. This article outlines three online pedagogic activities that were adopted in an English-taught course that transitioned from the classroom to online. Based on a conceptualization of English as a ‘glocal language’ and motivated by an orientation towards a ‘pedagogy of care’, the activities were designed to draw on students’ rich linguistic repertoires and support community building. The first activity was a language portrait, the second entailed online and offline exploration of the linguistic landscape of the local contexts, and the third activity was the critical analysis, editing, translation, and/or adaptation of Wikipedia pages. All activities can be adapted for the ELT classroom.
‘I feel like a snake changing its skins’: a plurilingual project
Authors: Celaya M Luz , López-Flores Silvia 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In line with the directions of the Council of Europe on the teaching of foreign languages to young learners and in view of recent waves of immigration in Europe, special emphasis is nowadays being placed on plurilingual and pluricultural practices in the school system. This paper describes the change towards embracing plurilingualism in a primary school in Barcelona (Spain) to try to cater for the students’ home languages and for cultural diversity in the EFL classroom. Results show that both the cohesion between the school and the families, and respect for and understanding of diversity were favoured, and that the level of competence in English at the end of primary education in this school was higher than the average of schools in the same context.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Many researchers have pointed to coastal environments and their use for energy production, aquaculture, and conservation as key to solving profound challenges facing humanity. Navigating this transition in ocean space necessitates tools to quantify impacts on displaced marine users, including recreational fishers. In this study, we present a novel method combining spatial ecological models of recreational catch with fine-scale random utility models of site choice to predict the impacts of site closures on recreational fishing experiences (fisher welfare). We demonstrate our approach by modelling data from over 10 000 fishing trips to fine-scale sites across 1500 km of coastline in the south-west of Australia and simulating the effects of no-take marine reserves recently implemented in the Australian Marine Parks. The results show how the combination of random utility modelling with spatial ecological methods provides a powerful tool for investigating recreational fisheries as joint social-ecological systems and incorporating recreational fishing into marine spatial planning.
On the approximation of dispersive electromagnetic eigenvalue problems in two dimensions
Authors: Halla Martin 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
We consider time-harmonic electromagnetic wave equations in composites of a dispersive material surrounded by a classical material. In certain frequency ranges this leads to sign-changing permittivity and/or permeability. Previously meshing rules were reported, which guarantee the convergence of finite element approximations to the related scalar source problems. Here we generalize these results to the electromagnetic two-dimensional vectorial equations and the related holomorphic eigenvalue problems. Different than for the analysis on the continuous level, we require an assumption on both contrasts of the permittivity and the permeability similar to the three-dimensional case. We confirm our theoretical results with computational studies.
The Initial Boundary Value Problem in General Relativity: The Umbilic Case
Authors: Fournodavlos Grigorios , Smulevici Jacques 
Published: November 2021

AbstractWe give a short proof of local well-posedness for the initial boundary value problem in general relativity with sole boundary condition the requirement that the boundary is umbilic. This includes as a special case the totally geodesic boundary condition that we had previously addressed in [ 8]. The proof is based on wave coordinates and the key observation that the momentum constraint is always valid for umbilic boundaries. This allows for a greater freedom in the choice of boundary conditions, since imposing the umbilic condition also provides Neumann boundary conditions for three of the four wave coordinates conditions. Moreover, the umbilic condition, being geometric, implies that geometric uniqueness in the sense of Friedrich holds in this specific case.
Angioleiomyoma—rare soft tissue tumor of the foot and ankle, review of two patients and review of the literature
Authors: Bodapati Venkata Soumya , Sunderamoorthy Dakshinamurthy 
Published: November 2021

AbstractAngioleiomyomas are relatively rare benign soft tissue tumors which often occur in the extremities. The true etiology is largely unknown and is seldom associated with pain. They are rarely diagnosed preoperatively as the clinical and radiological examinations are often nonspecific and inconclusive. The patients may face a considerable delay before a specialist treatment is sought due to the varied presentation/missed diagnosis preoperatively. This delay highlights the need for better characterizing the diagnosis and treatment of angioleiomyomas in clinical setting to expand awareness of this pathology, the differential diagnosis of lower extremity soft tissue tumors and the need for ongoing publication of such case reports. We wish to present two patients who came in with foot and ankle swellings and heel pain. Post-excision, these swellings were histologically diagnosed as benign angioleiomyomas.
Incorporating Economic Conditions in Synthetic Microdata for Business Programs
Authors: Thompson Katherine , Kim Hang Joon 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Many agencies are currently investigating whether releasing synthetic microdata could be a viable dissemination strategy for highly sensitive data, such as business data, for which disclosure avoidance regulations would otherwise prohibit the release of public use microdata. The U.S. Census Bureau has identified the Economic Census as a candidate program and has been developing synthetic data generators. The synthetic data should account for skewed and irregular distributions, satisfy predetermined edit constraints, and preserve selected privacy features. Previous research on these generators was confined to businesses that were in operation for the full year, ignoring the special features of births and deaths in the models. These generators preserve multivariate relationships and yield marginal totals that closely correspond to the published official statistics. However, these synthetic data consequently do not reflect the state of economic expansion or contraction. This missing information is a severe deficiency for the targeted data users comprising economists, policymakers, and methodologists, especially since the global pandemic of 2020. This paper introduces an approach that addresses this deficiency, producing partially synthetic data with high utility and privacy protection. We provide preliminary results using selected industry data from the 2012 Economic Census.
Rhyme in classical Latin poetry: Stylistic or stochastic?
Authors: Nagy Ben 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This study offers the first broad quantitative analysis of the use of rhyme in classical Latin hexameter and elegiac verse. The data and tools developed for the analysis are released under a permissive open source license. These include software to create an accurate phonetic transcription of Latin verse from the Musisque Deoque corpus; a system for scoring rhyme via phonetic similarity; and a system for generating large amounts of metrically correct, stochastic Latin verse (useful for analysis baselines). Further to this, some initial analysis is performed: first via descriptive statistics and then with two unsupervised multivariate analyses using dimension reduction methods. The study examines nineteen works by twelve authors, comprising about 96,000 lines. First and foremost, the results suggest that rhyme was consciously used by classical authors, but to different extents and in different ways. There is a solid and detectable stylistic separation between the use of rhyme in elegy and epic, and possibly also between satire and the rest. Within genres, authors can be stylistically separated with a small set of features. On the negative side, it appears that the stylistic signal from rhyme is fairly faint, and so forensic analysis (e.g. for authorship attribution) is not presently recommended on texts that are shorter than several thousand lines.
Telehealth Adoption and Patient Engagement
Authors: Aalam Ahmad A. , Osman Kareem A. , Martin Aaron 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Successful implementation of telehealth services should incorporate adoption and engagement strategies for all key stakeholders, including clinicians, patients, and administration, to maximize utilization and benefit. These strategies should be included in an implementation plan developed by an invested leadership team. This team will build the infrastructure, bring resources, assess their institution and population needs, and review policies and regulations needed to execute their strategic plan. Successful telehealth programs live within a comprehensive digital engagement and population health strategy. In this chapter we examine multiple tools and concepts to drive adoption and engagement from each stakeholder’s perspective.
