Abstract. Because of the growing popularity of online classes, flexible scheduling solutions that accommodate a wide range of user schedules and preferences are required. When schedule flexibility is one reason a person chooses online classes, it becomes clear that good scheduling algorithms are a basic requirement so that users get the flexibility they seek. The goal of this research is to create and develop a scheduling algorithm based on a multi-agent temporal network to solve the scheduling restrictions of teachers and students in both classroom and distant situations. This study uses a multi-agent temporal network method to create algorithms that offer independent scheduling solutions for teachers and students. These algorithms consider a variety of restrictions, providing successful scheduling within and outside of typical classroom situations. The idea that was put forward demonstrates effective scheduling outcomes, allowing students as well as teachers freedom. The multi-agent strategy effectively controls numerous restrictions, providing customizable scheduling solutions for a wide range of user requirements. Teachers and students can independently form scheduling solutions with algorithms that will solve all internal and external constraints of teachers and students.
Impact of Oversizing on Stent Frame Fatigue Strains in Self-Expanding Aortic Valve Replacement
Authors: Kandula Rajesh 
Published: December 2023

This paper delves into the impact of oversizing on fatigue strains in nitinol stent frames used in aortic heart valve replacements. While oversizing, the practice of using a prosthetic valve larger in diameter than the native aortic annulus, offers benefits like reduced valve migration risk and increased effective orifice area (EOA), it also poses challenges. Oversizing can lead to annular rupture and conductive abnormalities, potentially inducing mechanical fatigue. As nitinol stents become more prevalent in medical applications, comprehending their mechanical responses under real-life loading conditions becomes essential. This understanding is pivotal for ensuring the long-term reliability of these devices and safeguarding patient health. In this paper, Finite Element Analysis has been used to study the impact of oversizing the heart valve on anatomic geometry.
Cómo (re)hacer héroes con palabras. El piadoso Aquiles y la preciosa muerte de Héctor
Authors: Marrón Gabriela Andrea 
Published: December 2023

En el Romuleon IX, se le asigna a Aquiles tanto el adjetivo opuesto a uno que recibe dos veces en la Eneida (immitis), como el epíteto más característico de Eneas en el poema virgiliano (pius); a su vez, se lo vincula a Héctor con una expresión que reconfigura el clásico tópico de su muerte heroica en términos bíblicos (mors pretiosa). A partir del análisis desarrollado en este trabajo, intentaremos demostrar que, para construir sus propias versiones de los personajes homéricos, Draconcio recurre a distintos términos y sintagmas de la épica clásica, previamente insertos y resignificados en las obras de otros autores cristianos. Dicha estrategia le permite volver a presentar las situaciones narrativas del mito a través de un lenguaje que en términos formales se confunde con el de la literatura romana del período clásico, pero a la vez conlleva el sustrato ideológico del cristianismo.
A behavior screening questionnaire improves problem identification in veterinary primary care with implications for patient health
Authors: Duxbury Margaret M. , Sobczynski Helen , Flynn Kristi , Rendahl Aaron 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To compare how often owners identified concerns about their pets’ behavior during routine examinations in 2 test conditions (voluntarily or when completing a questionnaire), and to test the efficacy of a simple behavior screening questionnaire to be used by practicing veterinarians.

ANIMALS
Privately owned dogs and cats presenting for routine examinations to 1 of 2 primary care clinics.

METHODS
The study was conducted in 2 sequential phases. In Phase 1, veterinary staff recorded whether pet owners or veterinarians inquired about behavior during routine examinations. In Phase 2, a different set of pet owners completed a short behavioral screening questionnaire as they waited for the veterinarian. We compared the 2 phases for how often behavior concerns were identified, the types of concerns, the pets’ ages, and the owners’ levels of satisfaction and desire for help.

RESULTS
Dog and cat owners were more likely to identify behavior concerns when prompted than they were to volunteer this information, especially for older patients in which behavior changes may be the first sign of disease. Most owners were satisfied with their pets’ behavior, though owners were more likely to be unsatisfied with certain identified concerns. Owners who were dissatisfied were much more likely to want help.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
A behavior screening questionnaire enhances detection of behavior problems that may have medical implications and impact the security of the pet in its home. A behavior screening questionnaire can elevate standard of care by enabling veterinarians to quickly assess behavior during every examination.

Authors: Pennington Catrina , Bristow Poppy , Navarro-Cubas Xavier , Kurosawa Tsumugi Anne 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To determine quality-of-life changes in owners of dogs undergoing mitral valve repair for myxomatous mitral valve disease, up to 12 months postoperatively.

SAMPLE
Owners of 26 dogs undergoing mitral valve repair at a single UK veterinary referral hospital.

METHODS
Dogs underwent mitral valve repair under cardiopulmonary bypass as previously described. Owner quality of life was assessed by self-completion of a previously validated questionnaire preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.

RESULTS
There was a statistically significant improvement in quality-of-life scores from preoperatively up to 3 months postoperatively and a statistically significant improvement in individual question scores up to 6 months postoperatively.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results suggested that owner quality of life is significantly improved following surgical repair of their pet’s myxomatous mitral valve disease, and this improvement continues beyond the immediate postoperative period. These results may be useful when counseling owners of surgical candidates and is another useful outcome measure.
The prognosis for return to athletic function for Thoroughbred racehorses in Hong Kong with injuries to the palmaroproximal aspect of the metacarpus diagnosed using low-field magnetic resonance imaging
Authors: Ratcliffe Thomas O. C. , Robinson Paul , Rosanowski Sarah M. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate and compare the prognosis for Thoroughbred racehorses to return to galloping and racing with injuries to the palmaroproximal metacarpus diagnosed with MRI.

ANIMALS
29 flat racing Thoroughbreds at the Hong Kong Jockey Club that underwent MRI between 2014 and 2022.

METHODS
Clinical, radiographic, ultrasonographic, and MRI reports were collected from veterinary clinical records, and these were combined with training and racing data. Horses were categorized on the basis of MRI diagnosis: (1) proximal suspensory ligament (PSL) involvement only, (2) PSL and concurrent proximal third metacarpal (MC3) bone involvement, and (3) proximal MC3 bone involvement only. The following were compared for prognosis for return to athletic function: return to galloping or racing, and reinjury.

RESULTS
Overall, the prognosis for return to athletic function was fair, with 92% (22/24; P = .53) and 67% (16/24; P = .73) of horses returning to galloping and racing, respectively. There was a relatively low reinjury rate, with 18% (4/22) of horses reinjuring. Horses with concurrent injury to both the PSL and proximal MC3 bone (Category 2) took longer to return to gallop (median, 116; IQR, 100.5 to 160), when compared with horses having only PSL injury (median, 69; IQR, 43 to 80; P = .04). Of the 4 horses that reinjured, 3 (75%) were horses in Category 2.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The findings from this study suggest that injuries involving both PSL and proximal MC3 bone concurrently require a longer rehabilitation period than those with PSL involvement alone.
Analysis of Diversity and Composition of Apis Cerana Gut Microbiome in Overwintering Period

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Cold temperatures limit the survival and reproduction of honeybees. Therefore, successful overwintering is crucial for the survival of honeybee colonies and the pollination of flowering plants in the following spring. This study analyzed the gut microbiota of Apis cerana from Changbai Mountain during the overwintering period through 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing. The analysis of microbial community composition showed that Gilliamella, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Snodgrassella were the core genera in the honeybee gut during the overwintering period. Moreover, alpha diversity analysis showed that the community diversity of the gut microbiota peaked in December. Beta diversity and LEfSe analysis showed that community composition was similar in December, January and February and that such beneficial bacteria as Snodgrassella, Acetobacteraceae, and Rhizobiales were differentially abundant during this period. The results of functional prediction analysis indicate that amino acid transport and metabolism, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, and the TCA cycle play an important role in overwintering. These results suggest that the dynamic changes in the gut microbiota of A. cerana during winter and mechanisms tolerate cold stress.
O- and H-isotope record of Cape Town rainfall from 1996 to 2022: the effect of increasing temperature, and the ‘water crisis’ of 2015 to 2018
Authors: Harris C. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The O- and H-isotope composition of rainfall collected monthly at the University of Cape Town (UCT) between 2009 and 2022 has been added to a previously published data set from 1996 to 2008 to make a continuous 27 year record. Monthly rainfall over the 27 year period has a range in δD and δ18O values from -57 to +21‰ and -8.1 to +3.5‰, respectively, and shows limited but discernible temperature and amount effects. The 27 year rainfall record defines a Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) whose equation is δD = 5.96*δ18O + 7.00 (r = 0.88), a slight change from the LMWL of 1996 to 2009 (6.41*δ18O + 8.89). Annual rainfall at UCT has varied from ~992 mm (2017) to 1996 mm (2013), with no systematic change in annual rainfall amount (r = −0.16). However, from 2015 to 2022, the average annual rainfall of 1 145 mm has been below the 27 year average of 1 313 mm. Mean monthly temperature has increased from 1996 to 2022 (r = 0.53), and the weighted mean annual δD and δ18O values have increased by ~4‰ (r = 0.53) and ~0.5‰ (r = 0.64), respectively, over the 27 years. The UCT data and the data for 1961 to 1974 from Cape Town International Airport plot around the same LMWL, with an average deuterium excess (d-excess) of 13.78 and 12.95, respectively. Natural springs in the area plot close to the LMWL with an average d-excess of 14.15, whereas local well-point and borehole water samples generally plot below the LMWL with an average d-excess of 10.65. These differences can be explained by relatively rapid recharge of springs and slower recharge of groundwater, with the latter containing an additional component, that could either be rainwater that fell during a period of hotter drier climate or, more probably, municipal mains water. Long-term monitoring of groundwater and spring water as well as rainwater would be of great help in assessing the sustainability of groundwater use, among other important questions.

Published: December 2023

Background:Deep brain electromodulation (DBEM), also known as deep brain stimulation in different intracerebral targets, is the most widely used surgical treatment due to its effects in reducing motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The intracerebral microelectrode recording has been considered for decades as a necessary tool for the success of Parkinson’s surgery. However, some publications give more importance to intracerebral stimulation as a better predictive test. Since 2002, we initiated a technique of brain implant of electrodes without micro recording and based solely on image-guided stereotaxis followed by intraoperative macrostimulation. In this work, we analyze our long-term results, taking into account motor skills and quality of life (QL) before and after surgery, and we also establish the patient’s time of clinical improvement.Methods:This is a descriptive clinical study in which the motor state of the patients was evaluated with the unified Parkinson’s disease scale (UPDRS) and the QL using the Parkinson’s disease QL questionnaire 39 questionnaires before surgery, in the “on” state of the medication; and after surgery, under active stimulation and in the “on” state.Results:Twenty-four patients with ages ranging from 37 to 78 years undergoing surgery DBEM on the subthalamic nucleus were studied. An improvement of 41.4% in motor skills and 41.7% in QL was obtained.Conclusion:When microrecording is not available, the results that can be obtained, based on preoperative imaging and clinical intraoperative findings, are optimal and beneficial for patients.
The interplay between identity and emotion of young LOTE (languages other than English) teachers in their early careers: A sociocultural theory perspective
Authors: HE YANHUA , QIN LILI , CHEN HAORAN 
Published: December 2023

There is conflicting evidence regarding the relationship between teachers’ identities and emotions. The inconsistency may be explained by a one-way causal relationship or two-way support. However, from a sociocultural perspective, the two might dialectically influence each other. Furthermore, most studies on teacher identities have focused solely on teaching and research identities without considering their social service roles as well. Further, little is known about LOTE (Languages Other than English) teachers in higher education, and even less is known about younger novice teachers. To fill these gaps, this study included a survey of 843 young LOTE teachers and in-depth interviews with three respondents at universities to gain a deeper understanding of their identities and emotions. As a result, the interaction between the two variables in the teaching dimension was observed to have a more robust relationship. Teachers’ identities and emotions were inextricably linked in either a positive or negative manner. Specifically, a higher sense of identity and positive emotion correlated closely, whereas a lower sense of identity and negative emotion walked together. As a result of the weak sense of research identity, this relationship was evident in teaching and social service, de-emphasizing research. The present study provides additional evidence with respect to the dialectical relationship between teacher identity and teacher emotion.
