The Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in the Practice of Advanced Analytics and Operations Research: Introduction to the 2023 Competition and Some History on the Prize’s 25th Anniversary
Authors: Cochran James J. , Browning William J. , Discenza Joseph H. , Greenland Arnie 
Published: October 2024

The judges for the 2023 competition selected the three finalist papers featured in this special issue of the INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics (IJAA). The prestigious Wagner Prize—awarded for achievement in implemented operations research, management science, and advanced analytics—emphasizes the quality and originality of mathematical models along with clarity of written and oral exposition. This year’s winning submission describes the design and deployment of an approach to accommodate the assembly of semiconductor products using multidie packages, a powerful and innovative approach to manufacturing a wide range of strategically designed semiconductors. The authors refer to the problem as the sort-assemble-blend routing problem (SABR-P), and their approach to solving the SABR-P is a combination of genetic algorithms, Monte Carlo simulations, linear programming, and machine learning. The remaining papers describe an integrated approach to system-wide deployment of nurses that facilitates the movement of nurses between hospitals, and a multiple-stage process that consolidates parcels ordered by the same consumer from one or more merchants during the fulfillment process. In addition, we provide some historical perspective on the Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in the Practice of Advanced Analytics and Operations Research. We show the titles, abstracts, and names and affiliations for its recipients for each year in which the prize has been awarded. Finally, we provide links to the winning papers, which have been published by INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics (formerly Interfaces).

Ownership as a Bundle of Rights: Antecedents of the Wedge Between Control and Cash-Flow Rights Within Firms
Authors: Obloj Tomasz , Sengul Metin 
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we examine the antecedents of ownership rights within multiunit firms, focusing on the wedge between the control rights and cash-flow rights that parent companies hold over their subsidiaries. We argue that a key antecedent of a parent’s ownership rights in a subsidiary is the extent of the subsidiary’s interdependencies with the firm. Exploring two such interdependencies, we hypothesize that (1) the wedge between parents’ control and cash-flow rights is smaller for subsidiaries that are more closely related to the firm and (2) there is a U-shaped relationship between the extent of a firm’s multimarket contact in an industry and the wedge between parents’ control rights and cash-flow rights for subsidiaries that operate in that industry. We tested our predictions and found evidence supporting the first hypothesis and mixed results for the second in a sample of subsidiaries newly added to French manufacturing firms through acquisitions or de novo creations. In supplementary analyses, we also found that a subsidiary’s interdependencies are also associated with its hierarchical position within the firm’s formal authority structure.

Dental Resorption. From Diagnosis to Management: An Update for the GDP
Authors: Walker Lucy , Pandya Jay-Krishan , Fletcher Steven 
Published: October 2024

Dental resorption is a physiological or pathological process that may be initiated and propagated by various mechanisms, including mechanical, surgical, thermal or chemical injury. It refers to non-bacterial destruction of dental tissue resulting from clastic cell activity. It is predominantly asymptomatic in the permanent dentition and may be misdiagnosed and/or poorly understood. This article describes the different types of dental resorption, the features of each and a guide on how to manage them. Some interesting cases are also highlighted. CPD/Clinical Relevance: It is important to understand, identify and diagnose different types of resorption.

Published: October 2024

AimsThis study aimed to demonstrate the promoting effect of elastic fixation on fracture, and further explore its mechanism at the gene and protein expression levels.MethodsA closed tibial fracture model was established using 12 male Japanese white rabbits, and divided into elastic and stiff fixation groups based on different fixation methods. Two weeks after the operation, a radiograph and pathological examination of callus tissue were used to evaluate fracture healing. Then, the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were examined in the callus using proteomics. Finally, in vitro cell experiments were conducted to investigate hub proteins involved in this process.ResultsMean callus volume was larger in the elastic fixation group (1,755 mm3 (standard error of the mean (SEM) 297)) than in the stiff fixation group (258 mm3 (SEM 65)). Pathological observation found that the expression levels of osterix (OSX), collagen, type I, alpha 1 (COL1α1), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the callus of the elastic fixation group were higher than those of the stiff fixation group. The protein sequence of the callus revealed 199 DEPs, 124 of which were highly expressed in the elastic fixation group. In the in vitro study, it was observed that a stress of 200 g led to upregulation of thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) and osteoglycin (OGN) expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Additionally, these genes were found to be upregulated during the osteogenic differentiation process of the BMSCs.ConclusionElastic fixation can promote fracture healing and osteoblast differentiation in callus, and the ability of elastic fixation to promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs may be achieved by upregulating genes such as THBS1 and OGN.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2024;13(10):559–572.
Analytical evaluation of eight qualitative FIT for haemoglobin products, for professional use in the UK
Authors: Piggott Carolyn , John Cerin , O’Driscoll Shane , Benton Sally C. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Qualitative faecal immunochemical tests for haemoglobin (FIT), for triaging for colorectal cancer investigations, are available for professional use. The aim was to evaluate these lateral flow tests. No previous analytical evaluations have been published.

Methods
Analytical sensitivity (AS) was assessed using samples spanning manufacturers’ quoted AS, concurrently with the quantitative OC-SENSOR PLEDIA, using Hb-spiked samples in manufacturers’ buffer (n≥5; ≤9–99 ng Hb/mL buffer), Hb-spiked feces (n=6; <2–34 µg Hb/g feces) and natural feces (n=17; <2–82 μg/g); concentrations for 50 %/100 % Hb-detected were compared with quoted AS. Compatibility with two external quality assessment schemes (EQAS) (n=9; 3–96 μg/g) and prozone compared with manufacturers limits (n=9; 2,500–10,000,000 ng/mL) were tested. Ease-of-use by five healthcare personnel was assessed.

Results
Seven products showed lower AS (ng/mL) than manufacturers quoted using Hb-spiked aqueous samples compared with OC-SENSOR, one was equivocal; six manufacturers quoted AS in µg/g, five showed lower AS using Hb-spiked feces. Results were similar but less consistent for natural feces. Result lines for low concentrations can be faint and open to interpretation. Results were consistent with manufacturers quoted prozone limits. Results were consistent for seven products for two EQAS. The ease-of-use was 68.5–85.6 %; products with lower scores could be improved with better instructions and sample bottles.

Conclusions
AS was lower for seven products (aqueous samples) and five products (aqueous/faecal samples) and prozone consistent with manufacturers expected concentrations, compared with OC-SENSOR. EQAS results were mostly consistent with expected results; products can be used by healthcare professionals, though some manufacturer improvements could be made.
How to close a telephone call in Chinese – A problem for foreigners
Authors: Shi Wenrui , Kádár Dániel Z. , House Juliane , Liu Fengguang 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn this study, we examine why closing a telephone call in Chinese can trigger intercultural irritations for foreigners. We investigate such irritations by comparing ways in which learners and native speakers of Chinese end phone calls. We follow a tripartite research design anchored in speech acts and interaction. First, we administered Discourse Completion Tests (DCTs) to a group of advanced European learners of Chinese and a group of native speakers of Chinese, investigating how members of these groups close telephone calls. Second, we studied two corpora of telephone closing conversations, including a Chinese and an English as lingua franca corpus. Third, we considered whether the pragmatic differences observed through our DCTs reflect broader Chinese and Western conventions of telephone closing observed through our interactional corpora, and whether the behaviour of foreign speakers of Chinese may have been influenced by pragmatic transfer. Through the research outcomes we interpret the above-mentioned intercultural irritations.
Algorithmic Identification of the Precursory Scale Increase Phenomenon in Earthquake Catalogs
Authors: Christophersen Annemarie , Rhoades David A. , Hainzl Sebastian 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The precursory scale increase (Ψ) phenomenon describes the sudden increase in rate and magnitude in a precursory area AP, at precursor time TP, and with precursor magnitude MP prior to the upcoming large earthquake with magnitude Mm. Scaling relations between the Ψ variables form the basis of the “Every Earthquake a Precursor According to Scale” (EEPAS) earthquake forecasting model. EEPAS is a well-established space–time point process model that forecasts large earthquakes in the medium term, that is, the coming months to decades, depending on Mm. In Aotearoa New Zealand, EEPAS contributes to hybrid models for public earthquake forecasting and to the source model of time-varying seismic hazard models, including the latest revision of the National Seismic Hazard Model. The Ψ phenomenon was recently shown not to be unique for a given earthquake, with smaller precursory areas AP associated with larger precursor times TP and vice versa. This trade-off between AP and TP has also been found for the spatial and temporal distributions of the EEPAS models. Detailed analysis of the Ψ phenomenon has so far been limited by the manual and labor-intensive procedure of identifying Ψ in earthquake catalogs. Here, we introduce two algorithms to automatically detect Ψ and apply them to real and simulated earthquake catalog data. By randomizing the catalog and removing aftershocks, we confirm that the Ψ phenomenon is a feature of space–time earthquake clustering prior to major earthquakes. Multiple Ψ identifications confirm the trade-off between AP and TP, and the scaling relations for both real and simulated catalogs are consistent with the original scaling relations on which EEPAS is based. We identify opportunities for future work to refine the algorithms and apply them to physics-based simulated catalogs to enhance the understanding of Ψ. A better understanding of Ψ has the potential to improve forecasting of large upcoming earthquakes.

A ATUALIDADE DA TEORIA CRÍTICA DA SOCIEDADE PARA PENSAR AS “BASES” DA FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE
Authors: Serra Passos Luciana , Ripa Roselaine 
Published: October 2024

Este artigo objetiva discutir a racionalidade que subjaz os interesses e as intencionalidades que orientam a concepção de educação, formação e tecnologia na sociedade compreendida como digitalmente administrada. Resulta de uma pesquisa bibliográfica que teve como aporte a Teoria Crítica da Sociedade em diálogo com autores contemporâneos. A indústria cultural, a semiformação e a tecnologia serão apresentadas enquanto mecanismos tecnicamente racionalizados, orientados pelos fundamentos do capital neoliberal. Depreende-se que as transformações tecnológicas na base de produção material, orientadas pela racionalidade instrumental, potencializam os efeitos da indústria cultural e impulsionam a permanência de processos semiformativos. Dentre as nefastas consequências, está o crescente alijamento de uma perspectiva formativa comprometida com a emancipação humana, em estreita ligação com processos formativos mercantilizados, atingindo também a formação docente.

Authors: Alfadlilah Muna 
Published: October 2024

Popular fiction is part of popular literature that is very like and read by the society. The desire of the public to consume literary works is very related to tastes and what is viral in society at that time. Every that moves the public in the consumption of society is certainly driven by a belief, one of which is the belief in the issues that exist in society. One of the issues that exist in society is racism. Strong racism arises because of differences according to ideology in the western view. This study examines the analysis of sustaining racism with a postmodern approach in the novel The Girl with Louding Voice by Abi Dare'. Explaining that women cannot live freely and are not given the opportunity to run and continue their education. This article used postmodern approach with seeing the phenomenon about society to literature. The result of this study is that society still has several points of view regarding racism so that many consume this literary work. Fiction that is still hotly discussed by the public about the lives of black people. Keywords: Rasicm, postmodern, popular literature.

Abstract

Deverra scoparia Coss. & Dur. (Apiaceae) from Algerian Sahara was dried by two methods, conventional (sun, open air) and microwave at different powers (264, 400, 800 W). The essential oils (EOs) were obtained from the different samples by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). 32 constituents were identified and the oils compositions were found to be dominated by Myristicin (43.44–69.73%), D-Limonene (6.61–12.57%), Dillapiole (0.74–10.87%), α-Phellandrene (0.47–8.16%) and α-Pinene (4.36–8.10%) as the main constituents. Then, the EOs were evaluated for their insecticide activity against the white cochineal of the date palm Parlatoria blanchardi Targ (Hemiptera- Diaspididae) by the spraying method, thus the inhibition activity of its acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The obtained results showed an important efficacy of the EOs against this insect with lethal doses (LD50) ranged from 2.32 to 6.12 µL/mL. Moreover, the study of the inhibition of AChE showed a strong inhibitory effect against this enzyme, with an EC50 value of 0.002 µL/mL. These results suggest that this plant might be efficient as potential alternative control agents for Parlatoria blanchardi Targ.
Plastic sex-trait modulation by differential gene expression according to social environment in male red deer

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Mate competition encourages individuals to modulate characters involved in mating success. Adult Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus) males show a dark ventral patch (DVP) that plays a central role in mating rivalry, whose size and chemical compounds varied according to the level of male-male competition within the population. In the pigmentation of the DVP appears, after urinary excretion, a molecule called DOPEG originating from the metabolism of norepinephrine, leading us to investigate whether differential expression mechanisms of key genes (DBH and TH) encoding enzymes catalyzing the process can be sensitive to different competitive population situations and responsible for the plastic development of the DVP in red deer. We found that social environment with higher intrasexual competition, where male invest more in sexual traits, was associated with increased levels of DBH and TH transcripts, while Dopamine showed reversed values. We found alternative splicing for the TH gene, although differences between social environments appeared just related to expression levels. Our results support the internal cause of trait modulation based on differential gene expression in relation to the conditions of intrasexual competition in social environment. We propose the quantification of DBH transcripts as a molecular biomarker of male red deer reproductive activity.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background
Low muscle mass, myosteatosis, and excess adiposity are associated with adverse outcomes after oesophagogastric (OG) cancer surgery. There is limited prospective data to evaluate body composition throughout treatment. We aimed to measure longitudinal changes in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue and describe variations according to baseline BMI.
Methods
This prospective longitudinal study included patients having OG cancer surgery at Alfred Health, Melbourne, Australia. CT images and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) were used to assess body composition at multiple time points up to 12 months postoperatively. Low skeletal muscle, myosteatosis and visceral obesity were defined using published thresholds. BMI groups were defined as ≥ 30kg/m2 (obese) and < 30kg/m2 (non-obese).
Results
There were 50 patients. During neoadjuvant treatment, CT-muscle declined (152.7 vs 142.4cm2, p<0.001) and adipose tissue was stable. Postoperatively, total adipose tissue reduced (357.7 vs 224.4cm2, p<0.001), but muscle did not (142.4 vs 133.6cm2, p=0.064). Low CT-muscle prevalence increased during neoadjuvant treatment (diagnosis 33%, restaging 49%, p=0.02) but not at 12 months (54%, p=0.21). Visceral obesity was common and stable between diagnosis and restaging (58% vs 54%, p=1.00) with a marked reduction at 12 months (19%, p<0.001). BIS-muscle declined rapidly early after surgery and did not recover. The proportion of muscle and adipose tissue loss between BMI groups was comparable.
Conclusion
Weight loss during OG cancer treatment is significant. Skeletal muscle loss occurs during neoadjuvant treatment, while adipose tissue loss is predominant postoperatively. Anticipated changes in body composition should be considered throughout treatment, focusing on early muscle loss.
Machine Learning Analysis of Ocular Blood Flow for Estimating Vascular Age

Published: October 2024

Abstract

The process of aging varies among individuals. Some age faster than their true age while others remain more youthful than their chronological age. In this study, we developed machine learning models to predict chronological age using time-series blood flow images of ocular vessels captured through laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG). The inclusion of features generated through automated feature engineering improved the model’s accuracy over predefined features. Elevated blood pressure and blood glucose levels were more prevalent in subjects whose model-predicted age was older than their true age, highlighting the importance of these factors in vascular aging. We further investigated features explaining the divergence between model-predicted and true ages and identified features that could be useful for detecting whose biological age exceeds their chronological age. These results demonstrate the potential of LSFG-based machine learning models to predict vascular aging and identify individuals with increased cardiovascular risk in apparently healthy populations.
