Published: February 2025

Background
Agricultural SMEs face distinct challenges due to factors such as weather, climate change, and commodity price changes. Technology has become essential in helping SMEs overcome these challenges and grow their businesses. The relationship between technology and SMEs in the agriculture sector covers various aspects, such as using hardware and software, digital applications, sensors, and e-commerce strategies to be examined in further depth through literature study.

Problem statement
The implementation of the TOE (technology, organization, and environment) framework in smart agriculture faces several challenges. To overcome these challenges, an integrated approach is needed that involves technological capacity building, organizational management changes, and adequate policy and infrastructure support to help SMEs in the agricultural sector develop their businesses.

Objectives
This research aims to demonstrate and identify how TOE plays an important role in the performance of SMEs, particularly with regard to agriculture in order to improve agricultural productivity, efficiency, and sustainability while enabling access to broader markets in several countries. This study employs a meta-analysis method using a quantitative approach taken by each publication, which typically used SEM.

Methods
PRISMA technique was used to examine evidence from clinical trials, and clinical significance was determined using the GRADE approach. Statistical analysis was performed using the Fisher test to combine the results of several studies and Cohen’s approach to interpreting effect sizes.

Findings
The results of this study are in line with the findings of 27 previous studies which showed a direct positive relationship between TOE construction and the performance of agricultural SMEs, with variables including technological factors, organizational factors, environmental factors, and SME performance. The synergy between technology adoption by agricultural SMEs and Industry 4.0 can increase connectivity and automation in the agricultural sector. However, it is important to remember that adopting TOE to realize the smart agriculture concept has its own challenges and risks, such as resource management (technology), good organizational management (organization), and internal and external organizational environments (environments), including intense competition

Research implication
TOE adoption improves access to information about competitors and customers, providing practitioners and decision-makers with a clearer understanding. It enables focus on factors with a significant impact on TOE adoption, so that they are more independent in developing effective business concepts that are adaptive to the era of agricultural technology 4.0.

Introduction
Medical screening is a major driver of overdiagnosis, which should be considered when making an informed screening decision. Health professionals (HPs) often initiate screening and are therefore responsible for informing eligible screening participants about the benefits and harms of screening. However, little is known about HPs’ knowledge of overdiagnosis and whether they are prepared to inform screening candidates about this risk and enable people to make an informed screening decision.

Methods
This is a systematic review of studies examining HPs’ knowledge and perception of overdiagnosis, whether it affects their position on offering screening, and their willingness to inform screening candidates about overdiagnosis. We conducted systematic searches in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycArticles without language restrictions. Two authors analysed the qualitative and quantitative data separately. Confidence in the findings of the qualitative data was assessed using the GRADE-CERQual approach.

Results
We included 23 publications after screening 9786 records. No studies directly examined HPs’ knowledge of overdiagnosis. HPs’ perceptions of overdiagnosis varied widely, from considering it a significant harm to seeing it as negligible. This seems linked to their overall beliefs about the benefits and harms of screening and to their position on offering screening, which varies from discouraging to actively promoting it. HPs also hold diverging approaches to informing screening candidates about overdiagnosis, from providing detailed explanations to limited or no information.

Conclusion
There is a lack of research on HPs’ knowledge of overdiagnosis, however, HPs who do know about overdiagnosis attribute substantially different levels of harm to it. This seems intertwined with their overall beliefs about the benefits of screening, their position towards offering screening, and their willingness to inform screening candidates about overdiagnosis. This has important implications for the public’s right to evidence-based information and compromises an individual’s right to make an informed screening decision.

Published: February 2025

Background
Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) are among the most common complications of patients today. As the prevalence of ischemic CVAs rises, detecting related risk factors is crucial. Metal concentration has previously been considered a major risk factor in several neural complications, and in this study, we will investigate this.

Methods
In this case-control study, 70 CVA (clinically approved ischemic stroke cases by imaging and NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS)) and 70 individuals with no history of CVA controls were enrolled as the control group. The serum level of several metals, including Fe (Iron), Co (Cobalt), Ni (Nickel), Cu (copper), Zn (Zinc), Mn (Manganese), Pb (lead), Hg (Mercury), has been assessed using Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method. Logistic regression (LR) has also been used to determine the association between metals’ levels and CVA occurrence.

Results
As the mean age of the CVA group was 48.68  ±  15.25 years and for the non-CVA group was 47.89 ± 9.65 years, the result indicated that the serum level of Cu and Pb has been statically higher in the CVA group (respectively; P  <  0.001 and P  =  0.002) and Ni level was significantly lower (P  =  0.003). Other measured metals’ levels (Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, Hg) were not significantly different between CVA and non-CVA groups. In the LR model, all Cu, Pb, and Zn metals had a P value of 0.03 and an odd ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) of 1.34 (1.02–1.75), 1.19 (1.01–1.39) and 1.01 (1.001–1.02) respectively.

Conclusion
Given that some metals are associated with a higher risk of CVA, researchers and physicians must better understand the risk factors and causes of the burden of CVA. However, further studies with a larger population and investigation of the exact pathogenesis of these metals are needed.

Published: February 2025

New land use for settlement and transport exceeds the federal government’s “below 30 ha/day” target. Varial federal states have incorporated this target into their own state targets. However, there has not been any operationalization in the form of binding targets at state, regional or municipal level to date. Operationalizing a binding quota system could involve trading land certificates (using an environmental economic approach) and spatial planning (using a regulatory approach). The analysis of land certificates trading was conducted through the “land trading simulation game” pilot project. However, there is no implementation or organizational model for operationalization using a spatial planning approach. To fill this gap, this paper presents a concept for implementing binding land-saving targets within the framework of spatial planning. It contains statements on the determination of a binding total volume of land quotas, the distribution between the federal and state governments, the distribution at state level to municipalities, the application of the quotas in planning procedures, the administration by “quota authorities” and the necessary accompanying measures.

AbstractIschemia‐reperfusion (IR) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), and pigs are commonly used in preclinical AKI models. However, existing models often vary in the methods used to induce ischemia, and the resulting AKI tends to be mild‐to‐moderate. Moreover, follow‐up is often performed under volatile anesthesia, which, in contrast to total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), can induce malignant hyperthermia and cause hemodynamic instability. Here we present a novel surgical model of IR‐induced AKI using bilateral renal artery clamping under TIVA. Anesthesia was induced via TIVA with diazepam, ketamine, and morphine. After retroperitoneal exposure, the renal arteries were isolated and clamped with a plastic tube for 90 min, followed by 8 h of reperfusion. The IR group (n = 6) was compared with a Sham group (n = 5) that underwent the same procedure without IR. The IR group developed moderate‐to‐severe AKI as evidenced by reduced glomerular filtration, a 158% increase in plasma creatinine versus 21% in the Sham group, and elevated neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin levels (+280% in IR vs. 0% in Sham), indicating tubular injury. Histopathology confirmed these findings. Thus, this preclinical model successfully induced moderate‐to‐severe AKI in pigs. The TIVA anesthetic protocol offered several advantages compared to halogenated gas anesthesia.

AbstractExercise‐induced muscle damage (EIMD) is characterized by a severe and prolonged decline in force‐generating capacity. However, the precise cellular mechanisms underlying the observed long‐lasting decline in force‐generating capacity associated with EIMD are still unclear. We investigated in vivo force generation and ex vivo Ca2+‐activated force generation, Ca2+ sensitivity, and myofiber Ca2+ handling systems (SR and t‐tubules) in human biceps brachii before and 2, 48, and 96 h after eccentrically muscle‐damaging contractions and in non‐exercised control arm. The force‐generating capacity declined by 50 ± 13% 3 h after exercise and was still not recovered after 96 h. The force‐Ca relationship of skinned myofibers revealed an impaired maximal Ca2+‐activated force in MHC I‐fibers, but not MHC II‐fibers 48 h after exercise. Further, Ca2+ sensitivity was increased in MHC II‐fibers, which was reversed after incubation with a strong reductant. There was a biphasic increase in SERCA sulfonylation, and a parallel reduction in the SR Ca2+ uptake rate, with no effects on SR vesicle leak or SR vesicle Ca2+ release rate. T‐tubules showed a progressive increase in the density of longitudinal tubules by 96 h after exercise. In conclusion, MHC II‐fiber Ca2+ sensitivity was increased 48 h after exercise, attributed to changes in the REDOX status. 96 h after exercise SR vesicle Ca2+ uptake was impaired, and an increased number of longitudinal tubules were observed. These alterations may contribute to the impaired force generation evident at the late stage of recovery.

Abstract

Objectives
This study utilized large-scale health examination data to explore gender– and age–specific reference intervals (RIs) for serum uric acid (UA) using indirect methods and assessed the consistency of different approaches.

Methods
UA data were collected from a hospital in Zhejiang Province, China. The test set covered January 2019 to December 2023, with a validation set from January to June 2024. Various methods – EP28 nonparametric (EP28-NP), parametric (EP28-P), TMC, refineR, and Kosmic – were used to establish gender– and age–specific RIs. Continuous age-based RIs were derived using the Generalized Additive Model for Location Scale and Shape (GAMLSS). Validation rates were calculated for each method using the validation set.

Results
Using EP28-NP as the benchmark, other methods showed similar UA RIs (bias ratios ≤0.375, except for one group), with Kosmic, refineR, and TMC yielding slightly higher values than EP28-NP and EP28-P. For males, UA RIs varied by age: 19–42 years (256–537 μmol/L), 43–66 years (235–513 μmol/L) and ≥67 years (214–515 μmol/L), with validation rates ranging from 94.05 to 96.50 %. Male continuous RIs declined from ages 20–79 and then gradually increased after age 80. For females, UA RIs were age-dependent: 19–48 years (169–374 μmol/L), 49–74 years (178–405 μmol/L), and ≥75 years (186–470 μmol/L), with validation rates ranging from 92.70 to 96.80 %. Female continuous RIs decreased from ages 20–48, then increased significantly from age 49 onward.

Conclusions
Three indirect methods and two EP28 methods demonstrated good consistency in establishing UA RIs. Males had higher RIs than females, and RIs showed a non-linear correlation with age.
Language ideology as fake news
Authors: Ajšić Adnan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Fake news has a long history despite coming to the fore of academic debates only recently. The current fake news epidemic is related to the rise in right-wing populism globally, while social media has been central to the rapid spread of misinformation and the corrosive influence of right-wing populist discourses thriving on online conspiracy theories and disinformation campaigns. But does this trend have identifiable historical antecedents? I argue that 1980s and 1990s Serbian nationalist propaganda, especially its deployment of pseudoscientific discourses on language with their underlying language ideologies, may be a direct antecedent and an instructive case study for our understanding of the current wave. The discussion is based upon a corpus of Serbian news published between 2003 and 2008, and the application of advanced methods such as exploratory factor analysis and topic modeling. The findings show that the Central South Slavic language conflict has been characterized by pseudoscientific argumentation deployed as (fake) news. I suggest that there is a link between Central South Slavic ethnolinguistic contestation and contemporary Western far right discourses, contending that pseudoscientific argumentation is a major type of fake news in the service of illiberal causes and should be a central element in analyses of the phenomenon.

In the context of electrochemical supercapacitors, this work provides a comprehensive review of the production and electrochemical performance of binary transition metal oxide (TMO) and rGO composite materials. Composite materials with enhanced electrochemical characteristics that are appropriate for supercapacitor applications are the primary novelty, which is the synergistic combination of rGO with a variety of TMOs. Compared to individual TMOs or other carbonaceous materials, these composites demonstrate enhanced specific capacitance, energy density, power density, cyclic stability, and rate capability. The synthesis processes and synergistic benefits of BMO–rGO composites are discussed, with an emphasis on their superior performance in specific capacitance and cycle stability compared to individual components. This research highlights the potential of BMO–rGO composites as high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors, showcasing their enhanced specific capacitance, improved charge storage capacity, increased power density, excellent cycling stability, and overall durability even after numerous charge–discharge cycles.
Polycarbinol-siloxane surfactants: synthesis, characterization, fire suppression evaluation and foaming-defoaming properties
Authors: Snow Arthur W. , Ananth Ramagopal 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
A series of polycarbinol-siloxane surfactants with variations of two to six hydroxyl groups in the head structure and tri- and tetrasiloxane tail structures is synthesized, characterized and tested for foaming ability and fire suppression. The synthesis is practical, involving two steps, and produces products in high yield with good purity. The trisiloxane surfactants with 5 or 6 hydroxyl groups have sufficient water solubility, critical micelle concentrations, and display foaming ability levels to be effective in fire suppression testing. The tetrasiloxane surfactant with six hydroxyl groups was less soluble by a factor of 10 and did not exhibit sufficient foaming for effective fire suppression.

The article describes part of the collection of plots “Continuous absorption of a carbon dioxide molecule” of the GrafOnto information system (IS) extracted from publications of 1991-2000. The thermodynamic conditions under which measurements and calculations were carried out are given, physical quantities and their dimensions are indicated, as well as the spectral and temperature intervals under study. The progress in solving continuum absorption problems in the specified period of time is briefly described. The expansion of the functionality of the GrafOnto IS is described. The extension addressed the problem of plots in a collection, which can be separated into families of similar plots contained in clusters of plots formed in transparency windows. The selection of families allows you to use not only individual plots in the analysis, but also their sets, the composition of which is determined by spectral or temperature quantities. A family of similar plots has been added to the properties (metadata) of primitive plots. The quantitative assessment of the proximity of plots has been introduced.
ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНАЯ ПРОВЕРКА МОДЕЛЬНОЙ ЗАВИСИМОСТИ ТУРБУЛЕНТНОГО ЧИСЛА ПРАНДТЛЯ ОТ ГРАДИЕНТНОГО ЧИСЛА РИЧАРДСОНА

Получена формула, связывающая структурную характеристику флуктуаций температуры со скоростью диссипации кинетической энергии турбулентности не через коэффициент турбулентной температуропроводности, а через вертикальные градиенты средней скорости ветра и температуры и турбулентное число Прандтля. Для оценки структурной характеристики температуры по этой формуле предложена модель, основанная на обобщении известных данных о турбулентном числе Прандтля как функции градиентного числа Ричардсона. Экспериментально показано, что временные ходы структурной характеристики температуры, рассчитанной по предложенной формуле и независимо найденной из спектров флуктуаций температуры по данным измерений скорости ветра и температуры акустическими анемометрами на двух высотных уровнях, согласуются между собой. Это подтверждает правильность теоретических построений, на обобщении результатов которых основана используемая в работе модель зависимости турбулентного числа Прандтля от градиентного числа Ричардсона, и открывает возможность дистанционного определения структурной характеристики температуры из измерений скорости ветра и температуры.
A formula has been derived which connects the structural constant of temperature fluctuations with the dissipation rate of the kinetic energy of turbulence not through the turbulent thermal diffusivity, but through the vertical gradients of average wind speed and air temperature and the turbulent Prandtl number. To estimate the structural characteristics of temperature using this formula, we suggest a model based on the generalization of known data on the turbulent Prandtl number as a function of the gradient Richardson number. It has been experimentally shown that the time series of the structural constant of temperature, which is calculated using the proposed formula and independently found from the spectra of temperature fluctuations based on measurements of wind speed and air temperature with sonic anemometers at two altitudes, are consistent with each other. This confirms the correctness of the theoretical constructions, which serve the basic for the model dependence of the turbulent Prandtl number on the gradient Richardson number.
