Published: February 2024

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between postprandial C-peptide-to-glucose ratio (PCGR), β-cell function and successful glycemic glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and determine the efficacy and feasibility of the PCGR index in the individualization of diabetes treatment.
Materials and methods: This prospective study included a total of 49 patients (17 males, 32 females; mean age: 56±10 years; range, 32 to 75 years) under follow-up in Istanbul Medeniyet University Göztepe Training and Research Hospital Department of Internal Medicine with the diagnosis of type 2 DM between June and December 2016. Patients receiving insulin or insulin secretagogues were excluded. Data including age, sex, weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, date of DM diagnosis, serum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and creatinine levels were recorded. All patients underwent a mixed meal test and their fasting blood glucose, C-peptide, postprandial glucose, and C-peptide levels were measured and recorded. Patients with a serum HbA1c level of 7% or lower were considered to have good glycemic control while patients with a serum HbA1c level of higher than 7% were considered to have uncontrolled diabetes. The relationship between C-peptide index (CPI), PCGR index, and parameters related to glycemia and β cell function was investigated.
Results: Mean diabetes duration was 6.6±6 years and mean serum HbA1c level was 7.9±1.8%. There was a weak correlation between CPI and Homeostasis Model Assessment-β (HOMA-β), a moderate correlation between fasting C-peptide, delta C-peptide, and HOMA-β, and a strong correlation between fasting C-peptide, postprandial C-peptide, PCGR, and HOMA-β (p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.001, respectively). There was a moderate negative correlation between postprandial C-peptide, delta C-peptide, fasting C-peptide-to-glucose ratio (FCGR), and serum HbA1c level (p<0.05). There was no correlation between fasting C-peptide and serum HbA1c level while there was a strong negative correlation between PCGR and serum HbA1c level (p<0.001). Comparison of the patient groups with and without glycemic control revealed that mean PCGR was significantly higher in the former group than the latter (p<0.001).
Conclusion: We conclude that PCGR is significantly associated with glycemic control and variability. Our data suggest that PCGR is a useful index indicating β-cell function, and it can be used in the individualization of DM treatment.

Objectives: This study aimed to measure with shear wave elastography (SWE) the stiffness degree, which is a phenotypic reflection of the tumor in patients with breast cancer, and to manifest how the measured value relates to prognostic factors and molecular subtypes.
Materials and methods: This study included 99 female patients (mean age 48 years; range 29 to 78 years) diagnosed with breast cancer, underwent SWE, and received treatment at the Breast Health Center of Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital between January 2014 and March 2016. Those excluded were the patients who previously had an operation on the same breast or axillary fossa, who had noninvasive breast cancer, and who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Results: A positively significant correlation was determined between the tumor diameter and the elastography value (p=0.001, r=0.32). There was no significant difference between elastography values of the tumors and histological type, intraductal component presence, histological grade, lymphovascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, Ki67 value, hormone receptor status, and molecular subtype.
Conclusion: In our study, it was shown that there was a positive correlation between elastography values and tumor size. No significant relationship was found between elastography values and other parameters. However, further studies with larger series may provide additional significant links.

The Pathway Towards Intergroup Forgiveness
Authors: Rungduin Darwin C. , Rungduin Teresita T. 
Published: February 2024

Intergroup transgression is a form of relationship that highlights differences among groups. One aspect of this is emphasizing further discrepancies between behaviors of members of the ingroup and outgroup, which may develop antagonistic behaviors against one another. When intergroup characteristics become more salient, ingroup similarities become more evident as well (Turner, 2012) which will consequently inflate the chance of advancing the intergroup conflict. The common ingroup identity theory (Dovidio, 2012) proposes that re-categorization can be an approach by which this conflict can be resolved. This re-categorization rests on the assumption that if a superordinate identity will be identified, the ingroup and outgroup members will behave positively towards one another. This study made use of a 2 x 2 between sample design with the first factor consisting of priming and with the second factor as socio-historical experience. Sixty-nine (69) respondents participated in the experiment who were divided into two groups: those who experienced martial law (cohort group) and those who did not (non-cohort group). ANOVA results indicated that neither priming nor socio-historical group did not differ with one another and therefore did not affect the perceived intergroup transgression and intergroup forgiveness. The findings validated, however, the theoretical assumption that intergroup forgiveness can be facilitated by one's subscription to an overarching identity.
Dicamba-Based Herbicide Programs, Cropping Sequences, Tillage Types in Cotton – Profitability and Risk Efficiency Analysis
Authors: Vulchi Rohith , Zapata Samuel , Nolte Scott , Robinson John , McGinty Joshua 
Published: February 2024

Herbicide-resistant weeds threaten cotton production, and herbicides alone are not a sustainable remedy. Field trials at two locations, College Station and Thrall, Texas (2019-21), assessed dicamba-based herbicide programs in various crop sequences and tillage systems to identify sustainable weed management recommendations based on weed control and partial net returns. The study showed no-till cover cropping and conventional tillage had the highest aggregate partial net returns at College Station and Thrall, respectively. A cotton:sorghum:cotton rotation provided significantly higher partial net returns (>$450 ha-1) compared to continuous cotton only at Thrall. Partial net returns were significantly higher in a low input herbicide program (LI) compared to a high input herbicide program (HI) from 2019-21 only at Thrall. Herbicide programs showed a high degree of overlap and were indistinct in all tillage types at College Station based on CDFs graphs. Low input under cotton:sorghum:cotton rotation showed 100% probability of higher partial net returns compared to continuous cotton in all tillage types at Thrall. Stoplight charts showed LI provided greater than 50% probability of partial net returns greater than $1,066 ha-1 across tillage types at College Station. In Thrall, LI under cotton:sorghum:cotton rotation offered 88% and 26% probability of partial net returns above $1,066 ha-1 in conventional and strip tillage, respectively. Higher partial net returns for LI were mostly attributed to cost savings from using inexpensive herbicides rather than higher yields. Therefore, using less expensive herbicide programs and crop rotation appeared to be the most risk efficient strategy for managing weeds in irrigated and dryland cotton production.
Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) Control in Dicamba-Tolerant Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) when Applied with Various Dicamba + Insecticide Tank-Mixtures

Published: February 2024

Postemergence herbicide application timings for Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) often coincide with foliar insecticide applications in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Combining multiple pesticides into a single application increases efficiency while reducing overall application cost. Multiple foliar insecticides are now labeled for dicamba tank-mixes. However, there is limited literature with respect to efficacy of dicamba on Palmer amaranth control when applied with insecticides. Field experiments were conducted from 2018 to 2020 to evaluate the effect of carrier volume and insecticide on the efficacy of dicamba (XtendiMaxTM with VaporGripTM) to control Palmer amaranth in XtendFlex™ cotton production systems. Dicamba was tank-mixed with acephate and dimethoate to four-leaf cotton and with thiamethoxam and sulfoxaflor just prior to bloom. Applications were made at carrier volumes of 140 and 280 L ha-1 and with a single spray droplet size of 800 µm. Palmer amaranth control 7 d after treatment was negatively impacted when applications included dimethoate; however, no corresponding response in seedcotton yield was observed relative to dicamba applied alone. However, when pooled over carrier volume, applications containing dicamba + acephate resulted in higher seedcotton yield than applications of dicamba + dimethoate. Additionally, pre-bloom applications of dicamba + thiamethoxam or sulfoxaflor increased Palmer amaranth efficacy relative to dicamba applied alone. Although certain insecticides are known to increase herbicidal crop response, the impact of insecticides on herbicide efficacy to control specific weed species is largely unknown. Therefore, we conclude that multiple dicamba + acephate, thiamethoxam, or sulfoxaflor tank-mixtures provide similar control of Palmer amaranth compared to dicamba alone.

Just to declare various conflicts of interest: I regard Gregg Gordon, CEO of SSRN as a friend and have always been impressed at what he has achieved at SSRN. From the perspective of what is best for the services SSRN can offer to researchers, selling to Elsevier was a smart opportunity and probably the best of the options available given the need for investment. My concerns areÂ at the ecosystem level.

_
Traditional accuracy check methods for cargo hold in container ships rely solely on manual and visual operations, which are time-consuming and resource-intensive. Addressing the challenge of extracting and analyzing key data, such as cell guides and container pedestals, from large-scale point clouds obtained through three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning in container ship trial runs, this paper proposes an algorithmic framework based on 3D laser scanning. Building upon this framework, an improved coordinate-axis filtering RANSAC algorithm is employed to optimize the extraction of cell guide planes. Additionally, an algorithmic process based on Bhattacharyya distance is utilized to automatically extract container pedestal point clouds. Furthermore, a combination of the genetic algorithm and the ICP algorithm is proposed to achieve the fitting of the container pedestal edge contour through point cloud registration. Experimental results demonstrate the consistency between the extracted cell guide and container pedestal data and the actual results, indicating the high practical value of the proposed methodology.

Optimizing Sales Funnel Efficiency: Deep Learning Techniques for Lead Scoring
Authors: Sharma Kapil Kumar , Tomar Manish , Tadimarri Anish 
Published: February 2024

Segmenting new commercial leads is a critical endeavor for contemporary businesses operating in highly competitive markets, aiming to unearth lucrative opportunities and bolster their Return On Investment (ROI). Business lead scoring entails attributing a score, representing the likelihood of a lead to make a purchase, to each potential lead generated for the business. These leads' interactions across various marketing channels on the internet yield valuable attributes, including pertinent information such as contact details, lead source, and channel, alongside behavioral cues like response speed and movement tracking. This process aids in evaluating the quality of opportunities and their stage in the purchasing journey. Moreover, an accurate lead scoring mechanism empowers marketing and sales teams to prioritize leads effectively and respond promptly, thereby enhancing the likelihood of conversion. Leveraging machine learning algorithms can streamline this process.
In this study, the authors conducted a comparative analysis of the performance of various machine learning (ML) algorithms in predicting lead scores. The Random Forest and Decision Tree models emerged with the highest accuracy scores, reaching 93.02% and 91.47%, respectively. Notably, the Decision Tree and Logistic Regression models exhibited shorter training times, which can prove pivotal when handling extensive datasets.

Published: February 2024

Fermentation yeast was newly isolated from a traditional Vietnamese microbial starter for brewing alcoholic beverages, called men. The isolated yeast was identified as a strain of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae and designated as S. cerevisiae Y3. The alcoholic beverage made with 3 yeast strains, Y3, NP01, and K7 from uncooked and cooked nonglutinous rice grains had an ethanol concentration of approximately 11.6 to 14.5% (v/v). Resulting alcoholic beverages made with Y3, NP01, and K7 yeasts had antioxidative activity. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the alcoholic beverages made with 3 yeast strains is equivalent to approximately 500 to 600 μM Trolox. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the alcoholic beverage made with Y3 yeast was higher than that of the alcoholic beverage made with NP01 and K7 yeasts. The inhibitory activity of lipid peroxidation of the alcoholic beverages made with Y3 and NP01 yeasts was higher than that of the alcoholic beverages made with K7 yeast.

Utilization of Crude Rubber Seed Oil (CRSO) for the Production of Biogasoline: Physicochemical Studies
Authors: Ahmad Shuhaili Ahmad Fadzil , Yusup Suzana , Osman N.B 
Published: February 2024

The main objective of this paper is to investigate crude rubber seed oil (CRSO), a non-edible type of vegetable oil, hence that can be considered as a potential alternative fuel in Malaysia. The rubber seed production in Malaysia is about 150-200 kg/ha per annum. The estimated availability of rubber seed is about 30,000 MT/year. At present, rubber seed oil has not been found to be utilized in any major application. The challenge of the present study is to analyze the suitability and feasibility of rubber seed oil applied as biofuel, specifically in biogasoline range. Standard procedures of American Oil Chemists Society and ASTM Standard were used to determine the physicochemical properties of crude rubber seed oil (CRSO). Using standard techniques the specific properties data were obtained for this bio-oil namely for the following parameters: pH, specific gravity, refractive index, water content, peroxide value, acid value, kinematic viscosity, calorific value, density, molecular weight, flash point, cloud point, pour point, CHNS contents, saponification value, iodine value, and oxidative stability. Properties of rubber seed oil in comparison with standard biodiesel and other source of oils were also given. The observed values of this study were in agreement with the CRSO values of previous literature. The characteristic features of CRSO from this study show that CRSO can be exploited as an environmentally friendly alternative biofuel.
