Published: October 2023

Abstract
The offshore oil and gas industry requires pipelines to transport hydrocarbons from wells to processing facilities. Application of Mechanical Interference Fit Connection (MIFC) has been considered one of the optimization solutions in jointing of line pipes for pipeline installation, especially for offshore application. This method allows faster or less duration in pipe joining, which subsequently contributed to significant cost reduction in offshore pipeline installation. These pipelines are often subjected to harsh environmental conditions, including strong currents, waves, and seabed scouring. To ensure stability of pipeline on seabed, normally concrete coating is applied to provide sufficient weight for the pipeline. However, with concrete coated pipe, the faster joining rate by MIFC may be offset by longer duration to perform field joint coating due to longer field joint length required for MIFC to cater for clamping equipment to joint both-end of the pipes. This paper presents a case study of the dynamic on-bottom stability analysis of an offshore MIFC pipeline. The pipeline is a 12-inch diameter pipeline with a total length of 60 km. The pipeline is located in an offshore field with a water depth of ninety meters and 150 km away from shore. The dynamic on-bottom stability analysis is carried out to investigate the pipeline's response to environmental loads, including waves and currents. The dynamic on-bottom stability analysis is performed using a finite element analysis software package. The analysis considers the pipeline's structural behavior, seabed soil properties, and environmental loads. The results show that the MIFC joined pipeline is stable on seabed within the design envelope of the environmental loads without requirement of concrete weight coating. The maximum displacement and stress in the pipeline are well within the allowable limits, indicating that the pipeline's integrity is maintained. In addition, the study evaluates the effects of different parameters, such as seabed soil properties, current velocities, and wave heights, on the pipeline's dynamic response. In conclusion, this case study demonstrates that MIFC supported by dynamic on bottom stability analysis can be an effective solution for offshore pipeline jointing, providing stability and integrity on the seabed under the environmental design limit. The dynamic on-bottom stability analysis is an essential tool to investigate the pipeline's response to environmental loads and optimize the design and operation. Based on the findings of this study, we recommend that offshore pipeline engineers and designers may consider MIFC as a viable option for pipeline jointing. In overall, this case study contributes to the industry's knowledge and understanding of MIFC jointing for offshore pipelines, improving safety and efficiency in the offshore oil and gas industry.

Abstract

In an evolving world, effectively managing human-natural systems under uncertainty becomes paramount, particularly when targeting the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The complexity in multi-actor decision-making and multi-sectoral settings, coupled with intricate relationships and potential conflicting management approaches, makes understanding the local implications of progressing towards the global SDGs challenging. We used a transdisciplinary approach for knowledge co-production with local stakeholders to assess the impact of local action to boost sustainability in the Goulburn-Murray region, Victoria, Australia, and its alignment with global action towards the SDGs. Together, we co-developed 11 local actions geared towards achieving four locally-important environmental and socioeconomic SDGs, with a particular emphasis on addressing potential 'spillovers'—unintended effects that influence SDGs across scales. Through system dynamics modelling, we evaluated the interplay between these local actions and global scenarios, emphasising their synergies, trade-offs, and the resulting impact on SDG indicators. Key findings indicate a predominant synergy between global and local actions across most SDG indicators. However, certain areas like dairy production, riverine algal blooms, and agricultural profit displayed trade-offs. Local actions significantly impacted indicators such as crop production, dairy output, agricultural land use, and agricultural profitability. Findings highlighted the need for complementary actions in areas such as water availability management, skilled workforce, salinity control, and algal bloom mitigation. This study underscored the importance of harmonising local initiatives with global sustainability objectives and can inspire local governance to champion resilience policies that harmoniously integrate local actions with global sustainability goals, adapting to evolving uncertainty scenarios.

Abstract
Non-coding variants increase risk of neuropsychiatric disease. However, our understanding of the cell-type specific role of the non-coding genome in disease is incomplete. We performed population scale (N=1,393) chromatin accessibility profiling of neurons and non-neurons from two neocortical brain regions: the anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Across both regions, we observed notable differences in neuronal chromatin accessibility between schizophrenia cases and controls. A per-sample disease pseudotime was positively associated with genetic liability for schizophrenia. Organizing chromatin into cis- and trans-regulatory domains, identified a prominent neuronal trans-regulatory domain (TRD1) active in immature glutamatergic neurons during fetal development. Polygenic risk score analysis using genetic variants within chromatin accessibility of TRD1 successfully predicted susceptibility to schizophrenia in the Million Veteran Program cohort. Overall, we present the most extensive resource to date of chromatin accessibility in the human cortex, yielding insights into the cell-type specific etiology of schizophrenia.
Two-Part Modelling of Consumer Preferences for Native Chicken Meat: Sustainability Implications for Semi-Intensive and Intensive Production Systems
Authors: KATHIRAVAN G. , CHITRAMBIGAI K. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Indigenous and native chickens play a pivotal role in rural economies, providing both a source of supplementary income and a means of nutritional security through egg and meat production. Native chicken farming practices often involve backyard and free-range systems with minimal input. India is one of the world's top producers of poultry, with a total chicken population of 851.8 million in 2019 and 37.2% representing native or indigenous breeds. Traditionally, backyards were used to raise native chickens, but semi-intensive and intensive farms have gained popularity in recent years because of the increasing demand for native chicken meat and related price increases. Government-backed projects in India also support raising native chickens to empower women and other marginalised communities. In this context, a structured online survey was conducted from April to May 2023 to study consumer preferences for native chicken meat in India and its impact on the sustainability of developing intensive production systems. The survey collected responses from 503 individuals who had confirmed their consumption of chicken meat. A two-part model, incorporating a logit regression for binary preference and an ordinary least square (log-normal OLS) regression for quantity purchased, was used to analyse the data. In addition, a factor analysis was conducted to identify the key components that shaped consumer attitudes, yielding nine unique rotated components. Gender, age, income, education, marital status, cohabitation, household size, presence of senior citizens or children within households, and consumption frequency were found to have significantly influenced consumer preferences for native chicken meat. Factors such as psychological well-being, affordability, knowledge, nutrition, food quality, fitness, purity (natural), and sustainability consistently exerted a negative influence on both the preference and quantity of native chicken meat purchased. Despite a significant preference for local chicken owing to its perceived sustainability, concerns regarding sustainability arose from pricing and accessibility for specific quantities. Addressing pricing inequalities and increasing availability in the required quantity are essential for improving sustainability in semi-intensive and intensive native chicken production. The key to maintaining the long-term sustainability of native chicken farming is to match consumer demands with ethically and environmentally responsible production methods.

Abstract

Realistic digital representations of 3D objects and environments are now achievable because to recent developments in computer graphics, enabling real-time user interactions. Creating effective compression techniques and technologies that may take into account varied application limits has become a crucial problem due to the rising need for various point clouds. Future wireless networks are expected to undergo a paradigm change as a result of the 3GPP's 5G Advanced development. In this paper, we propose a complete system for streaming 3D high density point cloud data using a web-based streaming server with HTTP/2 protocol enabled, and compare results in two scenarios over WIFI and over 5G standalone network. Results have shown great outperformance over conventional work by decreasing inter-frame latency for large point cloud streaming by 16.8% for the case of 4 million points using http/2 over wifi, and by 71.51% over emulated 5G network. Streamed packets were also captured showing an increased frame rate of the same sample by 20.7% and 353% for the cases of wifi and 5G networks, respectively.

The object of this research is the process of choice the strategy for the development of the Ukrainian segment of suborbital launch vehicles (SOLVs). Problems arising in this process are analyzed and a search of ways of overcoming them was carried out. The strategy of development of a family of SOLVs is based on the previous experience of developing SOLVs in other countries. A family of SOLVs is proposed which includes five rockets with the apogee from 2 to 150 kilometers. The problem of the exclusion zones which can be reserved for falling of discarded parts of vehicles during the launch was considered. Experience of other countries in overcoming this problem was analyzed. It was decided to begin the process of formulation of a concept of a simplified SOLVs control system that would ensure keeping the rocket over the area of the launch. Within this task, a choice of components of the onboard electronic equipment (OBEE) was made. For testing the OBEE in the conditions of a real flight, a K80 Meteo 7000 rocket, a member of the proposed SOLV family, was chosen. In flight tests, most of the chosen OBEE components confirmed their operability, though some showed shortcomings in their operation. Main flight parameters of the K80 Meteo 7000 rocket were demonstrated. The reach of the apogee of 6,375 m and the velocity of Mach 1.733 was confirmed.
This research sets preconditions for practical implementation of launches of SOLVs with substantial altitudes of the apogee, while limiting the areas reserved for falling parts of the rockets. Availability of such SOLVs will enable solution of a wide range of problems in many fields of scientific research and the use of SOLVs as platforms for working out new technical solutions for other branches of rocketry

We demonstrate the use of a ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate as a rotation sensor by measuring the interference between two counter-propagating phonon modes imprinted azimuthally around the ring. We observe rapid decay of the excitations, quantified by quality factors of at most Q ≈ 27. We numerically model our experiment using the c-field methodology, allowing us to estimate the parameters that maximise the performance of our sensor. We explore the damping mechanisms underlying the observed phonon decay, and identify two distinct Landau scattering processes that each dominate at different driving amplitudes and temperatures. Our simulations reveal that Q is limited by strong damping of phonons even in the zero temperature limit. We perform an experimental proof-of-principle rotation measurement using persistent currents imprinted around the ring. We demonstrate a rotation sensitivity of up to \Delta \Omega ≈ 0.3 rad s^{-1}ΔΩ≈0.3rads−1 from a single image, with a theoretically achievable value of \Delta \Omega ≈ 0.04 rad s^{-1}ΔΩ≈0.04rads−1 in the atomic shot-noise limit. This is a significant improvement over the shot-noise-limited \Delta \Omega ≈ 1 rad s^{-1}ΔΩ≈1rads−1 sensitivity obtained by Marti et al. [Phys. Rev. A 91, 013602 (2015)] for a similar setup.

Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent endocrine disorder in women of
reproductive age. It presents with gynaecologic, metabolic, and psychologic manifestations. The
dominant drivers of pathophysiology are hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Both conditions
are related to cardiometabolic risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, hyperglycaemia,
type 2 and gestational diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and obstructive sleep apnoea.
Women with PCOS of reproductive age consistently demonstrated an elevated risk of subclinical
atherosclerosis, as indicated by different measurement methods, while findings for menopausal age
groups exhibited mixed results. Translation of subclinical atherosclerosis into the increased incidence
of peripheral arterial disease and major cardiovascular (CV) events is less clear. Although several
expert groups have advised screening, the CV risk assessment and prevention of CV events are frequently
underdiagnosed and overlooked aspects of the management of PCOS. A combination of lifestyle
management and pharmacotherapy, including the promising new era of anti-obesity medicine,
can lead to improvements in cardiometabolic health.

Published: October 2023

Background:
Hairy cell leukemia commonly presents with pancytopenia, indolent
course, and predisposition as infectious complications. Current first-line therapeutic options are
purine analogues, particularly cladribine, with a high percentage of complete responses and
durable remissions. However, their use is poorly investigated in patients affected by severe
chronic renal insufficiency.

Case Presentation:
Here, we describe a case of HCL in a 68-year-old man affected by multiple
comorbidities, including severe chronic renal failure. After a course of interferon-α, the patient
received therapy with Cladribine every other week, obtaining a complete hematological
remission and improvement of renal function.

Discussion:
With a different soft schedule of cladribine, the patient was treated adequately,
obtaining a complete remission

Conclusion:
Cladribine can be administered with caution, even in patients with renal failure,
with good results.
What is the mood?
Authors: Lee Wan-Chen , Cho Hyerim 
Published: October 2023

Fiction is a popular resource type for pleasure reading. Many readers pursue escapist moments and emotional experiences through reading fiction. While mood is a critical factor in fiction reading, most information systems fail to support mood description and mood-based retrieval of fiction. To address this gap, previous study[1] collected mood terms from fiction readers, and identified 30 mood categories (e.g., happy, nostalgic) and 3 overlapping families of mood in fiction: atmosphere/setting, emotion, and tone/narrative. The findings were based on English data.
Expanding on the previous study, this study explores cross-language mood description for fiction. Through an open-ended online survey, we collected reader-assigned mood terms in Chinese and Korean. With a small sample size (16 Chinese and 13 Korean responses), the purpose is to observe unique or challenging cases rooted in language differences.
One type of challenging cases is metaphorical mood terms. These terms describe mood with metaphors and require interpretation. For instance, one reader uses eclosion in Chinese to describe the complex feeling of relief, empowerment, and gaining freedom after transformation. Other challenges, such as the lack of satisfactory match in English, were observed as well.
Identifying translation challenges and unique mood terms could set directions for further research, and ultimately improve cross-language mood description and retrieval for fiction.

Changing Incrementally the Academic Publishing Ecosystem
Authors: Razakamaharavo Velomahanina Tahinjanahary 
Published: October 2023

The global academic publishing industry, with its entrenched colonial practices, perpetuates inequality between the Global South and North. In this context, young Malagasy scholars face numerous challenges, including limited academic writing skills and a lack of awareness about international publishing opportunities. Moreover, asymmetric power dynamics, imposed by senior scholars, hinder their ability to publish and promote their work online while language barriers confine them to French-speaking journals, limiting global exposure and collaboration. To address these issues, the Economic Social Research Council-funded project Hybricon organized a publishing workshop during the conference called "Hybriconference" in Madagascar, fostering a unique south-north dialogue. The event brought together global south and north scholars and editors, facilitating collaboration and knowledge exchange. It served as a model for mutually beneficial partnerships, showcasing the importance of inclusive publication practices. The initiative aims to decolonize the publishing ecosystem, emphasizing equity, diversity, inclusivity, intersectionality, and ethical responsibility.

Published: October 2023

La diarrea está asociada con bacterias infecciosas que ocasionan mortalidad en terneros como Escherichia coli, representando un problema para los productores de leche y carne a nivel global, provocando grandes pérdidas económicas. En este estudio se evaluó la resistencia a cepas de E. coli aisladas de heces diarreicas de terneros recién nacidos de la región Cajamarca. Se recolectaron 52 muestras de heces de terneros de cinco provincias de la región Cajamarca para el aislamiento de E. coli en agar MacConkey con sorbitol. La identificación molecular de E. coli se realizó mediante la amplificación del gen uidA por PCR convencional y luego se evaluó la susceptibilidad/resistencia a antibióticos utilizando la metodología de Kirby-Bauer y el uso de discos de antibiótico con neomicina, tetraciclina, sulfametoxazol-trimetroprim y enrofloxacina. Los resultados fueron que el 96.15 % de cepas de E. coli fueron resistentes a tetraciclina, el 51.92 % a sulfametropim, el 26.92 % a neomicina y el 9.61 % a enrofloxacina. También se demostró que el 30.76 % presentaban resistencia a dos fármacos, el 19.23 % a tres fármacos y el 5.76 % a cuatro fármacos; se encontró diferencia significativa de resistencia a tetraciclina (P<0.0001). Se concluye que los terneros neonatos de la región Cajamarca que presentaban diarrea son portadores de E. coli resistentes a antibióticos, representando un problema para los criadores de ganado vacuno, ya que estas cepas pueden causar la muerte de los animales y contribuyen a la diseminación de la resistencia de antibióticos.

Published: October 2023

Especially in the domains of business and management, it is vital that Intelligence as well as AI are to be taken good care of , directed and controlled by Wisdom inclusive by Artificial Wisdom :AW. This requires that Wisdom and Artificial Wisdom are made operational. In the past Wisdom received a lot of attention. The last decennia enormous efforts and investments was made on intelligence and AI. Scientific research and attention on wisdom was minimal. A lot of components of wisdom were elaborated in the Sumerian Mesopotamian cultures , in the Indian , Chinese Persian, Grec, Roman, Islamic cultures… These components of wisdom have still a lot of relevance. Only they have to be made operational in view of todays challenges, needs, requirements …. From the large set of historical wisdom approaches ( possible targets of other attempts for making them more operational), we overview, the Sumerian conflict resolution, the Illeism wisdom approach and the innovation approach within the Wisdom fractal frame (WFF) in view of elaborating an operational wisdom and artificial wisdom (AW).
