Published: October 2023

Controlling vessel motion using hydrofoils to ensure smoother journeys is a widely adopted practice. Incat Tasmania has implemented the Ride-Control System (RCS) on their Wave-Piercing Catamaran (WPC) fleets, consisting of a T-foil and two stern tabs. To efficiently evaluate the effectiveness of different RCS geometries, a novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach, the Forcing Function Method (FFM) was developed and validated. The present paper encompasses two main components: a standalone T-foil analysis and an assessment of the influence of various RCS geometries on a WPC by FFM. In the standalone T-foil study, the lift and drag forces were investigated with respect to the angle of attack and immersed depth. The results indicated that the T-foil lift coefficient diminished logarithmically by decreasing the immersed depth smaller than 1 chord length. The present paper utilises the FFM to examine different RCS geometries on a 2.5 m WPC operating at a speed of 2.89 m/s (Fr∼0.6). The effectiveness of motion control is evaluated by measuring the changes in sinkage and trim over time after deflecting the FFM T-foil by ±15° in calm water. Through these CFD simulations, the impact of total planform area, number of T-foils, and longitudinal location of the T-foil were analysed. It was found that controllability of motion was a function of total planform area, regardless of the number of foils, and although moving the T-foil away from the bow reduces motion control in trim, it does not affect sinkage significantly. The study also highlights the efficiency and accuracy of the FFM method for integrating hydrofoils into marine vehicle simulations. These insights contribute to the advancement of RCS development and offer valuable guidance for future research and design of hydrofoil systems. The proposed FFM approach has the potential to expedite the development process and enhance the performance of hydrofoil-equipped vessels in diverse operating conditions.

Pembangunan desa merupakan salah satu program prioritas Presiden Ir. Joko Widodo. Hal ini tertuang dalam Nawa Cita ketiga, yaitu membangun Indonesia dari pinggiran dengan memperkuat daerah dan desa dalam kerangka negara kesatuan. Pada tahun 2021, pemerintah mengalokasikan dana sebesar 72 triliun untuk 71.074 desa yang tersebar di 34 provinsi dalam bentuk dana desa. Setiap desa mendapat anggaran desa sekitar 1 miliar hingga 2 miliar per tahun. Selain dana desa, desa juga mendapat anggaran dana desa yang bersumber dari APBD kabupaten. Dengan besarnya anggaran tersebut, diharapkan peran Badan Permusyawaratan Desa dalam pengawasan pengelolaan keuangan desa dapat efektif.
Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan yaitu Desa Bangkelekila di Kecamatan Bangkelekila, Kabupaten Toraja Utara, Desa Latimojong, Kecamatan Buntubatu, Kabupaten Enrekang dan Desa Mallari, Kecamatan Awangpone, Kabupaten Bone dengan menentukan key informan di setiap desa dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. . Teknik analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis data Miles dan Huberman melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan.

Predicting the effects of spatiotemporal modifications of muscle activation on the tentacle extension in squid
Authors: van Leeuwen Johan L. , Kier William M. 
Published: October 2023

Squid use eight arms and two slender tentacles to capture prey. The muscular stalks of the tentacles are elongated approximately 80% in 20–40 ms towards the prey, which is adhered to the terminal clubs by arrays of suckers. Using a previously developed forward dynamics model of the extension of the tentacles of the squid Doryteuthis pealeii (formerly Loligo pealeii), we predict how spatial muscle-activation patterns result in a distribution of muscular power, muscle work, and kinetic and elastic energy along the tentacle. The simulated peak extension speed of the tentacles is remarkably insensitive to delays of activation along the stalk, as well as to random variations in the activation onset. A delay along the tentacle of 50% of the extension time has only a small effect on the peak extension velocity of the tentacle compared with a zero-delay pattern. A slight delay of the distal portion relative to the proximal has a small positive effect on peak extension velocity, whereas negative delays (delay reversed along stalk) always reduce extension performance. In addition, tentacular extension is relatively insensitive to superimposed random variations in the prescribed delays along the stalk. This holds in particular for small positive delays that are similar to delays predicted from measured axonal diameters of motor neurons. This robustness against variation in the activation distribution reduces the accuracy requirements of the neuronal control and is likely due to the non-linear mechanical properties of the muscular tissue in the tentacle.

Published: October 2023

IntroductionDiagnostics is an essential part of teachers’ profession. We investigated judgment accuracy and cognitive processes underlying judgment formation in physical education teachers who observed tasks in gymnastics, and compared teachers with gymnastics trainers as a reference group.MethodsTeachers and trainers judged performance of prepuberal students in gymnastics, namely students exercising squat vault, underswing, and handstand. To investigate cognitive processes of judgment formation, participants were asked to structure the movements via event segmentation as well as to explain their judgments. All teachers and trainers had experience in working with prepuberal children similar to those they observed in this experiment, and the teachers completed a gymnastics class during their studies.ResultsJudgment accuracy (with reference to judgments made by expert trainers) was found to be significantly lower in teachers compared to trainers (p &lt; 0.001). Moreover, agreement on the ratings among teachers was lower than among trainers. Agreement about the temporal structuring of the tasks from event segmentation was lower among teachers than among trainers (p &lt; 0.05). When explaining their ratings, trainers referred more often than teachers to kinematic features of the task that were relevant to the judgments.DiscussionWe discuss these findings in context of the teachers’ task to perform accurate judgments. For suggestions on teacher training, we particularly emphasize the relevance of implementing knowledge about kinematic features of the tasks and student errors into real-life scenarios resembling the complex skill of making accurate judgments in the physical education classroom.

ObjectivesThe aim of our study was to investigate the impact of long-term exposure to heavy metals on the microbiome of the buccal mucosa, to unveil the link between environmental contamination and the oral microbial ecosystem, and to comprehend its potential health implications.MethodsSubjects were divided into two groups: the exposure group and the control group. We collected samples of buccal mucosa, soil, and blood, and conducted microbial diversity analysis on both groups of oral samples using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The concentrations of heavy metals in blood and soil samples were also determined. Additionally, microbial networks were constructed for the purpose of topological analysis.ResultsDue to long-term exposure to heavy metals, the relative abundance of Rhodococcus, Delftia, Fusobacterium, and Peptostreptococcus increased, while the abundance of Streptococcus, Gemella, Prevotella, Granulicatella, and Porphyromonas decreased. The concentrations of heavy metals in the blood (Pb, Cd, Hg, and Mo) were associated with the growth of Rhodococcus, Delftia, Porphyromonas, and Gemella. In addition, the relative abundances of some pathogenic bacteria, such as Streptococcus anginosus, S. gordonii, and S. mutans, were found to be enriched in the exposure group. Compared to the exposure group network, the control group network had a greater number of nodes, modules, interactive species, and keystone taxa. Module hubs and connectors in the control group converted into peripherals in the exposure group, indicating that keystone taxa changed. Metals in the blood (Pb, Cd, Hg, and Mo) were drivers of the microbial network of the buccal mucosa, which can have adverse effects on the network, thus providing conditions for the occurrence of certain diseases.ConclusionLong-term exposure to multiple metals perturbs normal bacterial communities in the buccal mucosa of residents in contaminated areas. This exposure reduces the complexity and stability of the microbial network and increases the risk of developing various diseases.

IntroductionClinical practice guidelines (CPGs) contain recommendations for specific clinical circumstances, including maternal malnutrition. This study aimed to identify the CPGs that provide recommendations for preventing, diagnosing, and treating women’s malnutrition. Additionally, we sought to assess the methodological quality using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument.MethodsAn online search for CPGs was performed, looking for those that contained lifestyle and nutritional recommendations to prevent, diagnose and treat malnutrition in women during the preconception period using PubMed and different websites. The reviewers utilized the AGREE II instrument to appraise the quality of the CPGs. We defined high-quality guidelines with a final score of &gt; 70%.ResultsThe titles and abstracts from 30 guidelines were screened for inclusion, of which 20 guidelines were fully reviewed for quality assessment. The overall quality assessment of CPGs was 73%, and only 55% reached a high-quality classification. The domains in the guidelines classified as high-quality had the highest scores in “Scope and Purpose” and “Clarity of Presentation” with a median of 98.5 and 93%, respectively.DiscussionFurther assessment is needed to improve the quality of the guidelines, which is an opportunity to strengthen them, especially in the domains with the lowest scores.

The field of pharmacogenetics (PGx) holds great promise in advancing personalized medicine by adapting treatments based on individual genetic profiles. Despite its benefits, there are still economic, ethical and institutional barriers that hinder its implementation in our healthcare environment. A retrospective analysis approach of anonymized data sourced from electronic health records was performed, encompassing a diverse patient population and evaluating key parameters such as prescribing patterns and test results, to assess the impact of pharmacogenetic testing. A head-to-head comparison with previously published activity results within the same pharmacogenetic laboratory was also conducted to contrast the progress made after 10 years. The analysis revealed significant utilization of pharmacogenetic testing in daily clinical practice, with 1,145 pharmacogenetic tests performed over a 1-year period and showing a 35% growth rate increase over time. Of the 17 different medical departments that sought PGx tests, the Oncology department accounted for the highest number, representing 58.47% of all genotyped patients. A total of 1,000 PGx tests were requested for individuals susceptible to receive a dose modification based on genotype, and 76 individuals received a genotype-guided dose adjustment. This study presents a comprehensive descriptive analysis of real-world data obtained from a public tertiary hospital laboratory specialized in pharmacogenetic testing, and presents data that strongly endorse the integration of pharmacogenetic testing into everyday clinical practice.

Published: October 2023

IntroductionInformation on the relationship between soil quality and forage yield of legume-grass mixtures in different ecological regions can guide decision-making to achieve eco-friendly and sustainable pasture production. This study’s objective was to assess the effects of different cropping systems on soil physical properties, nitrogen fractions, enzyme activities, and forage yield and determine suitable legume-grass mixtures for different ecoregions.MethodsOats (Avena sativa L.), forage peas (Pisum sativum L.), common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), and fava beans (Vicia faba L.) were grown in monocultures and mixtures (YS: oats and forage peas; YJ: oats and common vetch; YC: oats and fava beans) in three ecological regions (HZ: Huangshui Valley; GN: Sanjiangyuan District; MY: Qilian Mountains Basin) in a split-plot design.ResultsThe results showed that the forage yield decreased with increasing altitude, with an order of GN (3203 m a.s.l.; YH 8.89 t·ha-1) &lt; HZ (2661 m; YH 9.38 t·ha-1) &lt; MY (2513m; YH 9.78 t·ha-1). Meanwhile, the forage yield was higher for mixed crops than for single crops in all ecological regions. In the 0-10 cm soil layer, the contents of total nitrogen (TN), microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN), soil organic matter (SOM), soluble organic nitrogen (SON), urease (UE), nitrate reductase (NR), sucrase (SC), and bacterial community alpha diversity, as well as relative abundance of dominant bacteria, were higher for mixed crops than for oats unicast. In addition, soil physical properties, nitrogen fractions, and enzyme activities varied in a wider range in the 0-10 cm soil layer than in the 10-20 cm layer, with larger values in the surface layer than in the subsurface layer. MBN, SON, UE, SC and catalase (CAT) were significantly and positively correlated with forage yield (P &lt; 0.05). Ammonium nitrogen (ANN), nitrate nitrogen (NN), SOM and cropping systems (R) were significantly and positively correlated with Shannon and bacterial community (P &lt; 0.05). The highest yields in the three ecological regions were 13.00 t·ha-1 for YS in MY, 10.59 t·ha-1 for YC in GN, and 10.63 t·ha-1 for YS in HZ.DiscussionWe recommend planting oats and forage peas in the Qilian Mountains Basin, oats and fava beans in the Sanjiangyuan District, and oats and forage peas in Huangshui valley. Our results provide new insights into eco-friendly, sustainable, and cost-effective forage production in the Qinghai Alpine Region in China.
