ABSTRACTAlthough Brachiaria spp. grasses are important components of sustainable forage–livestock systems in the Amazon biome, cultivar diversification is needed to reduce risk from pests and diseases. Brachiaria hybrid ‘BRS RB331 Ipyporã’ [B. ruziziensis Germ. & Evrard × B. brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) Stapf] was released in 2017 as an alternative for intensively managed forage–livestock systems. Our objective was to compare herbage accumulation (HA), nutritive value, and organic reserves of Ipyporã and standard hybrid ‘Mulato II’ (B. ruziziensis × B. brizantha × B. decumbens Stapf) under continuous stocking during 2 yr in the Amazon biome. Treatments were the two cultivars replicated four times in a randomized complete block design, and each experimental unit was 1.5 ha. Pastures of Mulato II presented ∼15% greater HA than Ipyporã (17,360 vs. 14,930 kg dry matter ha−1 yr−1) across the 2 yr, and Mulato II leaf mass was greater than Ipyporã (1440 vs. 1900 kg dry matter ha−1) in the dry season. Both cultivars had greater herbage mass, HA, and herbage bulk density during the rainy season of 2016–2017 compared with 2017–2018 due to a shorter period of water deficit (30 d) and greater rainfall (2147 vs. 1762 mm) in the first than second year. Mulato II herbage crude protein was 10 g kg−1 greater than Ipyporã. In this severe risk region for spittlebug, Mulato II required spittlebug monitoring and control due to occurrence of foliar damage. Although Ipyporã had lesser HA, no spittlebug damage was evident. Thus, Ipyporã is an attractive alternative for diversification of forage‐based livestock systems in the Amazon biome.
A New Index for Remote Sensing of Soil Organic Carbon Based Solely on Visible Wavelengths

Published: October 2019

Core Ideas
A soil carbon remote sensing index was developed using visible wavelengths.
The new index performs as well as or better than existing indices.
The new index can be applied to any true color image to map soil organic carbon.
Remote sensing is a powerful method for mapping soil properties, such as soil organic carbon (SOC), a key property of soil quality. Spectral remote sensing indices that rely on shortwave‐infrared (SWIR) or near‐infrared (NIR) wavelengths have been developed to quantify spatial patterns in SOC. However, the application of SWIR‐ and NIR‐based indices for quantifying fine‐scale patterns of SOC is limited due to the requirement of high‐resolution multispectral or hyperspectral imagery. Visible wavelengths are measured by virtually all sensors, often at high resolution; hence, development of a visible wavelength–based index can greatly increase the ability to remotely estimate SOC. Here we develop such an index by assessing the relationship between laboratory‐measured SOC and spectral reflectance using 7916 SOC and hyperspectral measurements from the nationwide USDA Rapid Carbon Assessment. Our new SOC index (SOCI) predicts SOC concentrations for the 7916 samples with a RMSE of 1.5%, which is comparable to predictions from the SWIR/NIR ratio (RMSE = 1.3%) and outperforms the predictions of an index based on NIR and red wavelengths (RMSE = 2.8%). We applied the index to a high‐resolution satellite image and tested the ability of the image‐based SOCI to predict measured SOC concentrations for a plowed field in Iowa. Regression models with and without local calibration data accurately predict measured SOC, with RMSE values of ∼0.5%. Given the widespread availability of imagery with spectral data in the visible wavelengths, there is potential to use the SOCI to address a range of soil‐agronomic problems.

Introduction and goal: Anxiety is the most common psychological reaction of pregnant women near childbirth and is a high prevalence in Iranian women. Nearly 50% of pregnant women report high levels of anxiety. The use of pharmaceutical methods to solve this problem has always led to problems and complications for patients. One of the non-pharmacological methods of music therapy. Therefore, the present study was conducted to compare the effects of the Voice of the Holy Qur'an and Arendeshine music on the anxiety of nulliparous women of normal delivery.
Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of all pregnant women referred to the maternity hospital of Amiralmounin Hospital in Zabol city. The sample consisted of 54 female candidates of normal delivery, selected by convenience sampling and randomly divided into two groups. The data collection instrument was Spielberger's Standard Anxiety Inventory. At first, the questionnaire was completed by patients. Then, in the first intervention group Arend Stein, and in the second intervention group, the voice of the Quran was broadcast for 45 minutes and immediately after that the questionnaire was completed again. SPSS software version 22 was used to analyze the data.
Findings: Findings showed that there was no significant difference between the mean of anxiety scores in the music group and the Qur'an before the intervention (p = 0.11). But after the intervention, this difference was significant (p = 0.02). Also, there was no significant difference between the mean scores of hidden anxiety in the two groups before the intervention (p = 0.21). But after the intervention, this difference was significant (p = 0.04).
Discussion and conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that the Qur'anic verse can be used as a non-pharmacological method in the treatment of anxiety in women who are candidates for delivery. Hence, employees are advised to use this method in conjunction with routine care.

OBJECTIVE
Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are associated with structural brain abnormalities, often observed in cognitive disorders. Besides visible lesions, (pre)diabetes might also be associated with alterations of the intrinsic organization of the white matter. In this population-based cohort study, the association of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes with white matter network organization was assessed.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
In the Maastricht Study, a type 2 diabetes–enriched population-based cohort study (1,361 subjects with normal glucose metabolism, 348 with prediabetes, and 510 with type 2 diabetes assessed by oral glucose tolerance test; 52% men; aged 59 ± 8 years), 3 Tesla structural and diffusion MRI was performed. Whole-brain white matter tractography was used to assess the number of connections (node degree) between 94 brain regions and the topology (graph measures). Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to investigate the associations of glucose metabolism status with network measures. Associations were adjusted for age, sex, education, and cardiovascular risk factors.

RESULTS
Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes were associated with lower node degree after full adjustment (standardized [st]βPrediabetes = −0.055 [95% CI −0.172, 0.062], stβType2diabetes = −0.256 [−0.379, −0.133], Ptrend &lt; 0.001). Prediabetes was associated with lower local efficiency (stβ = −0.084 [95% CI −0.159, −0.008], P = 0.033) and lower clustering coefficient (stβ = −0.097 [95% CI −0.189, −0.005], P = 0.049), whereas type 2 diabetes was not. Type 2 diabetes was associated with higher communicability (stβ = 0.148 [95% CI 0.042, 0.253], P = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONS
These findings indicate that prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are associated with fewer white matter connections and weaker organization of white matter networks. Type 2 diabetes was associated with higher communicability, which was not yet observed in prediabetes and may reflect the use of alternative white matter connections.

OBJECTIVE
To estimate real-world off-label use of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 1 diabetes, estimate rates of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and compare them with DKA rates observed in sotagliflozin clinical trials.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We identified initiators of SGLT2 inhibitors in the Sentinel System from March 2013 to June 2018, determined the prevalence of type 1 diabetes using a narrow and a broad definition, and measured rates of DKA using administrative claims data. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated using age- and sex-specific follow-up time in Sentinel and age- and sex-specific DKA rates from sotagliflozin trials 309, 310, and 312.

RESULTS
Among 475,527 initiators of SGLT2 inhibitors, 0.50% and 0.92% met narrow and broad criteria for type 1 diabetes, respectively. Rates of DKA in the narrow and broad groups were 7.1/100 person-years and 4.3/100 person-years, respectively. Among patients who met narrow criteria for type 1 diabetes, rates of DKA were highest for patients aged 25–44 years, especially females aged 25–44 years (19.7/100 person-years). More DKA events were observed during off-label use of SGLT2 inhibitors in Sentinel than would be expected based on sotagliflozin clinical trials (SIR = 1.83; 95% CI 1.45–2.28).

CONCLUSIONS
Real-world off-label use of SGLT2 inhibitors among patients with type 1 diabetes accounted for a small proportion of overall SGLT2 inhibitor use. However, the risk for DKA during off-label use was notable, especially among young, female patients. Although real-word rates of DKA exceeded the expectation based on clinical trials, results should be interpreted with caution due to differences in study methods, patient samples, and study drugs.

In this paper, we employ the extended tanh function method to nd the exact traveling wave solutions involving parameters of the symmetric regularized long- wave equation. When these parameters are taken to be special values, the solitary wave solutions are derived from the exact traveling wave solutions. These studies reveal that the symmetric regularized long-wave equation has a rich varietyof solutions.
Revitalizing urban revitalization in Poland: Towards a new agenda for research and practice
Authors: Kusiak Joanna 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
As a starting point, this paper recognizes the key role of the notion of ‘revitalization’ in the development of the multi-sectoral approach to urban renewal in Poland over the last 15 years. Thus, while acknowledging the important limitations of revitalization programs to date, it aims not so much to reject or criticize the current model revitalization, but rather to ‘revitalize’ the notion of revitalization itself. Based both on interviews with engaged practitioners of revitalization in Poland and on a review of practices existing elsewhere, this paper seeks to infuse the Polish imaginary of revitalization with transformative policy agendas.

On SOMA Parallelization with Android Devices
Authors: Bukáček Michal 
Published: October 2019

Today's world is full of new, small, personal handhelds. They are called smartphones or tablets. The machines themselves always have less power than desktop computers or even mainframes which were left behind. Their computational power can be increased when they are joined together in a group and are addressing one common task. To check and demonstrate the possibility of the use of mobile devices being joined to a group, the SOMA algorithm was chosen. The well as known functions, for example; De Jong, Rosenbrock, Rastrigin or Schwefel will be used and their extremes (minimums) will be realized. The goal is to test the speed of these mobile devices to realize the extremes of more dimensional functions. The advantages and disadvantages of this swarm linking will be shown.

Modal Kinetic Energy Change Ratio-based Damage Assessment of Laminated Composite Beams using Noisy and Incomplete Measurements
Authors: Dinh-Cong Du , Vo-Van Linh , Nguyen-Quoc Dung , Nguyen-Thoi Trung 
Published: October 2019

Modal kinetic energy (MKE) feature has been mostly employed for optimal sensor layout strategies; nevertheless, little attention is paid to use the feature to the field of structural damage detection. The article presents the extensive applicability of MKE change ratio (MKECR), a good damage sensitive parameter, to damage localization and quantification of laminated composite beams. The formulation of the parameter is based on the closed-form of element MKE sensitivity. The performance of the offered damage detection method is numerically verified by a clamped-clamped composite beam and a two-span continuous composite beam with different hypothetical damage scenarios. The influence of incomplete mode shapes, various noise levels as well as damage magnitudes on damage prediction results are also investigated. The obtained results from these numerical examples indicate that the offered method reliably localize the actually damaged elements and approximately estimate their severities, even under incomplete measurements at a high noise level.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.

Determining Outcome in Children and Adolescents After Concussion: Viewing Things More Holistically
Authors: Gagnon Isabelle 
Published: October 2019

Synopsis Pediatric and adolescent concussion is an increasingly high-profile public health issue, but it is also a highly heterogeneous phenomenon. Many factors interact dynamically to influence the recovery trajectory of adolescents and children. Diagnostic assessment must include domains other than self-reported symptoms, yet many prognostic models of outcome focus solely on the presence or absence of postconcussion symptoms to determine recovery. Function after concussion (recovery or persistence of problems) is the result of an interaction between biological, psychological, and social factors. Despite biopsychosocial models of assessment being advocated in rehabilitation for the last 20 years, they are still not routinely implemented in the evaluation of concussions, along the recovery trajectory, in children and adolescents. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health is a framework anchored in a biopsychosocial perspective that can guide clinicians and researchers to include multiple perspectives in their assessments or research designs. By focusing on the patient as a person, researchers and clinicians can provide a more holistic approach that has the potential to contribute to a more successful and sustainable pediatric and adolescent concussion care model.
