Abstract
Programmable metasurface has become a prominent tool in various areas including control, communication, computing, and so on, due to its unique capability in the electromagnetic (EM) manipulation. However, it is lack of the intelligence in the sense that it usually requires the manual intervention, and thus makes it hard to behavior as the human process. To endow the programmable metasurface with the intelligence, we here proposed the concept of the language-controllable programmable metasurface for autonomous EM manipulations by exploring the notable capability of large language models (LLMs) in attaining the human-like intelligence. We have established a proof-of-principle system of language-controllable programmable metasurface, where, for illustration, the programmable metasurface is designed to have 32 × 24 binary electronically controllable meta-atoms and work at around 5.5 GHz. In addition, we have constructed a visual-semantic map to facilitate the language-controllable EM manipulation in three-dimensional (3D) physical environments. We have experimentally demonstrated that our language-controllable programmable metasurface is capable of decomposing autonomously an ambiguous task of EM manipulation into a sequence of executable ones and implementing them individually in real-world indoor settings. We expect that the presented strategy could hold promising potential in pushing programmable metasurfaces towards human-level autonomous agents, which are capable of accomplishing the smart EM-involved multi-modality manipulations through self-directed planning and actions.

Abstract
The recent advances in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, including single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), has enabled the study of previously inaccessible details, such as the organization of proteins within cellular compartments and even nanostructures in nonbiological nanomaterials, such as the polymers and semiconductors. With such developments, the need for the development of various computational nanostructure analysis methods for SMLM images is also increasing; however, this has been limited to protein cluster analysis. In this study, we developed an edge structure analysis method for pointillistic SMLM images based on the line edge roughness and power spectral density analyses. By investigating the effect of point properties in SMLM images, such as the size, density, and localization precision on the roughness measurement, we successfully demonstrated this analysis method for experimental SMLM images of actual samples, including the semiconductor line patterns, cytoskeletal elements, and cell membranes. This systematic investigation of the effect of each localization rendering parameter on edge roughness measurement provides a range for the optimal rendering parameters that preserve the relevant nanoscale structure of interest. These new methods are expected to expand our understanding of the targets by providing valuable insights into edge nanoscale structures that have not been previously obtained quantitatively.

Prediction of the acoustic comfort of a dwelling based on automatic sound event detection
Authors: Bonet-Solà Daniel , Vidaña-Vila Ester , Alsina-Pagès Rosa Ma 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThere is an increasing concern about noise pollution around the world. As a first step to tackling the problem of deteriorated urban soundscapes, this article aims to develop a tool that automatically evaluates the soundscape quality of dwellings based on the acoustic events obtained from short videos recorded on-site. A sound event classifier based on a convolutional neural network has been used to detect the sounds present in those videos. Once the events are detected, our distinctive approach proceeds in two steps. First, the detected acoustic events are employed as inputs in a binary assessment system, utilizing logistic regression to predict whether the user’s perception of the soundscape (and, therefore, the soundscape quality estimator) is categorized as “comfortable” or “uncomfortable”. Additionally, an Acoustic Comfort Index (ACI) on a scale of 1–5 is estimated, facilitated by a linear regression model. The system achieves an accuracy value over 80% in predicting the subjective opinion of citizens based only on the automatic sound event detected on their balconies. The ultimate goal is to be able to predict an ACI on new locations using solely a 30-s video as an input. The potential of the tool might offer data-driven insights to map the annoyance or the pleasantness of the acoustic environment for people, and gives the possibility to support the administration to mitigate noise pollution and enhance urban living conditions, contributing to improved well-being and community engagement.

Abstract
Analysis of the context and response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown of five European Library and Information Science Departments: University of Barcelona (Spain), University of Hildesheim (Germany), University of Osijek, University of Zagreb (Croatia), and University of Library Studies and Information Technologies in Sofia (Bulgaria). Data about this situation in relation to higher education were collected 1 year after the lockdown when countries had returned to normality. The methodology consisted of holding focus groups with students and individual interviews with teachers. The data were analysed by unifying the information collected from each country into a centralized dataset and complemented with texts from the transcripts highlighted by each partner. The results indicate that each partner experienced a unique situation; as COVID-19 lockdowns were different in every European country, each university or even each teacher responded to the crisis differently. Nevertheless, there are points that are common to all five universities analysed in the study, such as work overload in students and teachers or the replication of face-to-face teaching models in a remote format. Moving in the future to online or hybrid learning activities will require training teachers in a more systematic way and the appropriate infrastructure.

Abstract
Direct ink writing provides a new method for ceramic material forming. The single-screw extruder is used here to extrude viscous SiC slurry. Because the flow mechanism of ceramic slurry in the slurry direct writing extrusion device is unclear, lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to analyze the flow process of ceramic slurry in the extrusion device. In this study, three different types of special-shaped, single-screw extruders (constant depth variable pitch screw, variable depth constant pitch screw, and variable depth variable pitch screw) are investigated to explore the effects of the shapes on the flow process. Compared with the traditional single-screw extruder, more attention should be paid to the difference in the flow channel. The non-Newtonian rheological model of SiC slurry is built, then the LBM for the non-Newtonian slurry is introduced and used to conduct the simulations based on the aforementioned three different cases. The results show that the effect of constant depth and variable pitch screw on the flow of ceramic slurry is the least and the flow of ceramic slurry in variable depth and variable pitch screw is the most complex.

Abstract
To prevent the weathering deterioration of stone building heritages in Putuo Zongcheng Temple, the fluorinated acrylate copolymer was prepared with methyl methacrylate, n-butyl acrylate, and 2,2,3,4,4,4-hexafluorobutyl methacrylate as monomers. The structure and surface morphology of the copolymer were described by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The antiaging of the copolymer was studied by the ultraviolet aging test; the contact angle and imbibition spontaneous tests were performed to estimate the wettability alteration of the copolymer emulsion. Results show that the fluorinated copolymer with 32.54 % HFMA content possesses optimal aging resistance and superb hydrophobicity. The contact angles of coated samples range from 96.90° to 125.80°. Considering the influence of water on rock weathering, the fluorinated copolymer coating is a potential method to avoid the degrading of stone heritages.

Authors: Surya Nagarajan L , Paul Sania , Perumalla Susmitha K , Gunasekaran Karthik , KPP Abhilash , JAJ Prakash 
Published: January 2024

Objective:
Scrub typhus (ST) is an acute febrile illness caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. Laboratory tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis when the characteristic eschar is absent. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of 47 kDa qPCR using clotted and EDTA-treated blood among patients with suspected ST

Methods:
Clotted blood samples from 284 inpatients (IPs) and EDTA-treated blood samples from 194 outpatients (OPs) with suspected scrub typhus were collected from patients who were blood culture- and malaria-negative. ST IgM ELISA and 47 kDa qPCR were performed for detection of ST infections.

Results:
Among the IPs (n=284) and OPs (n=194), 41% and 63% were confirmed to have ST based on the case definition, respectively; the mortality rate was 1%. The 47 kDa qPCR sensitivity of the buffy coat (65.6%) was greater compared to clotted blood (37.1%). PCR was more likely to be positive in the 1st week of the illness; IgM ELISA positivity increased after the 5th day of the illness.

Conclusion:
The type of sample and the time of sample collection have a role in the diagnosis of ST. These preliminary results need to be confirmed by prospective multicentric studies.
Banking Credit Risk and Efficiency: Some Countries in ASEAN
Authors: Ekananda Mahjus 
Published: January 2024

Banking efficiency is an important strategy to increase competitiveness. The ultimate goal of improving bank performance is the ability of business groups, banks, or countries to excel in competition. Banking can increase competitiveness in various ways, including increasing efficiency. This study presents an empirical analysis of the effect of credit risk on the value of banking cost efficiency in ASEAN. Cost efficiency is measured using panel data of banks in 10 ASEAN countries, employing stochastic frontier analysis and assuming a fixed effect. The efficiency is obtained using the Panel Stochastic Frontier Analysis method. The relationship between loan risk and efficiency is assessed using a linear regression model, specifically, Feasible Generalized Least Squares. In general, banking efficiency in ASEAN exceeds 80%. Another finding from this study is a negative relationship between credit risk and banking efficiency. In this case, the risk that most significantly reduces efficiency is the risk obtained from the loan-to-asset ratio indicator. The greater the risk the bank takes, the lower the cost-efficiency value of the bank. The implications of this research include that bank managers must reduce credit risk to increase the efficiency of bank operational costs.

Published: January 2024

Essential treatments for patients with end-stage renal disease include Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) consisting of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. In 2014, dialysis coverage in Indonesia was more than 1.5 trillion, making it the second highest expense in the National Health Insurance (BPJS) expenses. This study compared the cost-effectiveness between Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) and Hemodialysis (HD) in patients treated in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Data were collected from the Urology Department from 2014 to 2017. This was a retrospective observational study on 3 groups of patients: patients with effective CAPD each year as the first group; patients who had experienced repair of CAPD and continued to use it as the second group; and patients who discontinued CAPD due to complications and returned to hemodialysis as the third group. Each group expense was calculated with standard cost insurance for one year in the hospital. The expense was then be compared to the expense of hemodialysis for one year. A total of 89 patients in the CAPD program from 2014–2017 were treated at the department. When compared to HD, the first, second, and third group of CAPD patients experienced a cost reduction of IDR 23.227.857/person, IDR 18.127.857/person, and IDR 1.661.972.000, respectively. Total savings from the CAPD program in the hospital was IDR 1.661.972.000 from 2014. It is then concluded that CAPD could reduce the burden of government insurance in a cost-effective manner and is considered a treatment of choice in the National Health Insurance Era.

Published: January 2024

Determining a trauma scoring system appropriate for certain conditions will help in predicting mortality and morbidity, and can determine the need for treatment in patients. Kampala Trauma Score (KTS) is a trauma scoring system that uses a decent number of assessment variables and can be used in all general groups. This study was a retrospective prognostic test conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung, Indonesia, from December 2021 to July 2022. Data obtained was processed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS spreadsheets. The respondents were 66 people with multiple trauma. Results showed that this study was dominated by patients with blunt trauma (n=63, 95.45%). The mean KTS score in this study was 13.08±1.03. In 49 (74.24%) patients who survived, the mean KTS score was 13.41±0.89 and in 17 (25.76%) patients who died, the mean KTS score was 12.12±0.79. The greatest mortality accuracy was at the cutoff point of the KTS score >12 (81.82% accuracy; 70.59% sensitivity; 85.71% specificity). The accuracy value of the KTS score is in line with the ROC where the optimal KTS score is >12 (85.77%). In conclusion, the Kampala trauma score can be used as a predictor in assessing the prognostic value of multiple trauma patients with the obtained cut-point value as it has high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity values.

Published: January 2024

Early diagnosis of dysphagia and aspiration risk is very important in minimizing the risk of various medical consequences. This study aimed to establish a scientific database for future sEMG-based dysphagia screening investigations by examining the electrical activity of swallowing muscles in acute stroke cases. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on 61 stroke inpatients admitted to Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, from July to November 2019. The objective of this study was to quantify electrical activities of the suprahyoid (SH) and infrahyoid (IH) muscles during swallowing. Patients participated in both dry swallowing and a 3 mL water swallowing task, with the sEMG used to measure electrical activity parameters (duration, swallowing initiation, time-to-peak, and amplitude) on both paretic and normal sides. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the electrical activity parameters between the patients paretic and normal sides. Only amplitude showed a significant difference between the paretic and normal side (p=0.023) when performing the 3 mL water swallowing test. Other parameters did not exhibit significant differences in activity between muscle groups during both swallowing tests (p>0.05), although varying water volumes led to distinct activities in both muscles. Despite the absence of a clear pattern in SH and IH contractions during swallowing, the result showed that the sEMG quantification method might become a promising method for screening dysphagia, complementary to FEES and VFSS. The non-invasive and cost-effective sEMG method can serve as an early screening tool for dysphagia in stroke patients. This study underscores the importance of further investigation on sEMG use, incorporating a larger sample size and diverse cohort results with various swallowing exercises (varying in volume and viscosity) to validate the use of sEMG in dysphagia screening.

Published: January 2024

Otomycosis is a common fungal infection of the external auditory meatus frequently diagnosed in otolaryngology outpatient clinics. Resistance to antifungals is currently a significant concern, with intrinsic and acquired resistance increasing among isolates that cause fungal infections. The purpose of this research was to identify Candida species causing otomycosis and determine the pattern of antifungal susceptibility among these Candida species. A prospective study was conducted in the Margono Soekarjo General Hospital and Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Jenderal Soedirman Purwokerto, Indonesia, from April – September 2022. Forty-seven (47) clinical samples of otomycosis were collected from 41 patients and then isolated bedside on fungal culture media and was prepared on an object glass for direct microscopic examination of the specimens. Fungal identification was performed using 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) to observe fungal elements. Samples were cultured on Saboraud dextrose agar (SDA) media with chloramphenicol and Czapek dox agar. The Germ Tube Test was used to identify Candida while yeast-specific identification and antifungal susceptibility assay using a rapid commercial kit was applied for specific identification of the fungus. Antifungal susceptibility patterns were obtained using the Integral System Yeast Plus (ISYP) media pack. Candida parapsilosis was the most prevalent Candida species discovered in this study, accounting for approximately 41.66%, which was followed by Candida tropicalis (25%) and Candida krusei (12.5%), whereas Candida albicans only accounted for 4.1% of the specimens. All Candida species were sensitive to flucitosine and ketoconazole, whereas the voriconazole sensitivity rate reached 96%. This study concludes that Candida parapsilosis is the most prevalent species of Candida in otomycosis, and that all Candida species are sensitive to Flucitosine, ketoconazole, and voriconazole.
Arreglos multiescalares en la producción de la ciudad financiarizada. Estudio del megaproyecto Centralidad Sur del Valle de Aburrá
Authors: Vélez Villegas Santiago 
Published: January 2024

El artículo analiza el desarrollo del megaproyecto Centralidad Sur del Valle de Aburrá, en la región metropolitana de Medellín, Colombia, como una gran intervención en el marco de la financiarización de la producción urbana. Para ello, se tienen en cuenta tres aspectos: 1) los condicionantes históricos y normativos; 2) las estrategias espaciales de los agentes de la industria financiera-inmobiliaria; y 3) el esquema de gobernanza multiescalar. En ese sentido, se identifica una alta centralidad y capacidad de dirección de los agentes financieros en la industria inmobiliaria, y la formación de frentes localizados de inversión y valorización como estrategia de acumulación. La superposición de normas metropolitanas y municipales generan un esquema de gobernanza que fomenta los canales informales de negociación de estas estrategias con las administraciones locales y los propietarios del suelo. Esta dinámica explica la simultaneidad de cambios morfológicos contradictorios (dispersión y densificación) y los aparentes retrasos del megaproyecto.*

Published: January 2024

Háttér és célkitűzések: A tanulmányunkban közölt feltáró környezetpszichológiai esettanulmány egy nyugat-magyarországi nagyvállalat irodai munkavállalói körében készült terepvizsgálat része. A vállalat a klasszikus, nyitott terű, saját munkaállomásos irodai rendszerről részlegesen shared desk elrendezésre váltott. Feltételezésünk szerint (1) a térszervezés átalakulása kapcsán a korábbi rendszer alacsony hely-használó illeszkedései fellazulnak, és helyettük új, nagyobb mértékű illeszkedések alakulnak ki, illetve (2) a szervezeten belül a shared desk használatának elterjedésével a térhasználat is differenciálódik. Módszer: Fél éven át, longitudinális dizájnban vizsgáltuk az átállást online kérdőíves módszerrel: a résztvevőknek a munkavégzésükhöz kapcsolódó aktivitásokat, illetve érzelmi viszonyulásokat kellett párosítaniuk helyszínekhez. 3 mérési időpontban összesen 235 kérdőívet elemeztünk, a tevékenységek és érzelmi viszonyulások lokalizációjának időbeli változását kereszttábla-elemzéssel vizsgáltuk. Eredmények: A szervezeten belül a legjellemzőbb feladattípusnak számító egyedüli, koncentrált munkavégzés lokalizációjában kaptuk a legmarkánsabb változást, szignifikáns átrendeződést tapasztaltunk továbbá a fontos szakmai telefonhívás elintézése, valamint az egyedül inspirálódás tevékenységek lokalizációjában is. Az érzések tekintetében a biztonság és bizonytalanság lokalizációjában tapasztaltunk szignifikáns átrendeződést. Következtetések: Az eredmények mentén elmondható, hogy a legalacsonyabb illeszkedésű feladatok spontán relokalizálódtak a shared desk bevezetésével, és a térhasználat is differenciálódott. Ez a markáns változás kezdetben bizonytalanságot is generált, ami a 6 hónapos mérés idejére rendeződni tudott, a biztonságosnak tartott helyek sora azonban átrendeződött.
