Cefotaxime: A Reappraisal in Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
Authors: Jain Nikhilesh 
Published: January 2023

Lower respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) is one of the fourth most common cause of mortality across the globe, and constitutes to be a major portion in critically ill patients associated with prolonged hospitalisation. Apart from age factor, other risk factors which predispose to the LRTI include poor sanitization, severe malnutrition, and lack of breast feeding for infants, HIV infection, lack of immunization, chronic illness, family history of LRTI and exposure to tobacco smoke/air pollutants. The third generation cephalosporins are used in management and treatment of gram-negative and gram-positive organism. Common bacteria implicated in these infections include S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. Third generation cephalosporins also target respiratory ailments like acute bronchitis, pneumonia, acute exacerbation of chronic lung diseases (such as COPD or bronchiectasis). Cefotaxime and ceftriaxone have been widely recommended in guidelines to be used for many infections and diseases, but, some serious adverse effects have been seen in past few years with ceftriaxone like cholelithiasis, encephalopathy, memory impairment, tonic- clonic seizures, neurotoxicity and auto-immune haemolytic anaemia. This fact compels us to revisit the clinically safer and efficacious drug Cefotaxime which have been used since decades but have not developed any resistance till date. Cefotaxime has been found to be well tolerated and not associated with hypo-prothrombinemia/coagulopathies, disulfiram-like reactions, as with other cephalosporins. It can readily cross the blood-brain barrier when administered intravenously and may treat gram-negative infections resistant to previous generations of cephalosporins. Cefotaxime, demonstrates good efficacy and safety in the management of LRTIs including CAP, hospital acquired/nosocomial acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbation of pneumonia and acute bronchitis caused by both gram positive as well as gram negative bacteria.

Background: Because of COVID-19, the 2020 written medical examinations were replaced by mandatory formative online assessments. This study aimed to determine students’ performance, self-assessment of performance, and perception about the switch from a summative to a formative approach. Methods: Medical students from year 2 to 5 (n=648) were included. They could repeat each test once or twice. They rated their performance after each attempt and were then given their score. Detailed feedback was given at the end of the session. An online survey determined medical students’ perception about the reorganization of education. Two items concerned the switch from summative to formative assessments Results: Formative assessments involved 2385 examinees totaling 3197 attempts. Among examinees, 30.8% made at least 2 attempts. Scores increased significantly at the second attempt (median 9.4, IQR 10.8), and duration decreased (median -31.0, IQR 48.0). More than half of examinees (54.6%) underestimated their score, female students more often than male. Low performers overestimated, while high performers underestimated their scores. Students approved of the switch to formative assessments. Stress was lessened but motivation for learning decreased. Conclusions: Medical students’ better scores at a second attempt support a benefit of detailed feedback, learning time and re-test opportunity on performance. Decreased learning motivation and a minority of students repeating the formative assessments point to the positive influence of summative assessment on learning.
Brand Building to Deter Entry and Its Impact on Brand Value
Authors: Bar Ron N. , Haviv Avery 
Published: January 2023

Brand valuation methods traditionally focus on the value a brand generates via its ability to enhance demand and, accordingly, profitability. However, this paper explores how a brand can generate value for a firm through the ability to deter entry of new competitors. In this respect, we distinguish between a brand’s direct effect on demand and its strategic effect on the behavior of rival firms. We investigate this within the context of the U.S. stacked chips category using a dynamic model that endogenizes brand building and entry decisions. We find that up to 63% of a brand’s value can be derived from its ability to deter entry. Furthermore, we find that a brand is most valuable when the cost of entry that potential entrants face is moderate: neither too high nor too low.This paper was accepted by Matt Shum, marketing.Supplemental Material: The data files and online appendix are available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2022.4608 .

Curve-shaped ultrashort laser pulses with programmable spatiotemporal behavior
Authors: Franco Enar , Martínez-Matos Óscar , Rodrigo José A. 
Published: January 2023

Structured ultrashort laser pulses with controlled spatiotemporal properties are emerging as a key tool for the study and application of light–matter interactions in different fields such as microscopy, time-resolved imaging, laser micro-machining, particle acceleration, and attosecond science. In practice, a structured ultrashort pulse focused along a target trajectory with controlled pulse dynamics is required, e.g., to set the trajectory and velocity of the resulting intensity peak. Here, to address this challenging problem, we present a technique and experimental setup that allows straightforward engineering of structured ultrashort laser pulses with control of their spatiotemporal properties enabling tailored pulse propagation dynamics along the target trajectory. Our theoretical framework describes the design and control of this kind of curve-shaped laser pulse in terms of the curve geometry and phase prescribed along it. We have derived a closed-form expression that describes the interplay between the curve geometry and prescribed phase governing the pulse dynamics, including the temporal behavior of the pulse peak intensity while preserving the pulse duration. The theoretical results and the corresponding numerical simulations allow us to analyze the pulse dynamics on the example of femtosecond curve-shaped vortex pulses, including contour-shaped pulses created to follow the outline of objects at micrometer scale. The experimental results demonstrate the generation of these structured ultrashort pulses. These findings could pave the way for the next generation of ultrashort laser-based optical tools for the study and control of light–matter interactions.

Published: January 2023

Background
The elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) from Brazil by 2020 was not accomplished; however, this goal can be achieved in the upcoming years with the assistance of specific strategies. The surveillance of LF can be performed using molecular xenomonitoring (MX), a noninvasive method used to infer the presence of the parasite in the human population. Herein, São Luís (state of Maranhão) was the first city to be investigated to identify whether LF transmission in Brazil has been interrupted and if there were any new incursions.

Methodology/Principal findings
Mosquitoes were collected by aspiration at 901 points distributed among 11 neighborhoods in São Luís with records of patients with microfilaremia. Pools of engorged or gravid Culex quinquefasciatus females were evaluated by WbCx duplex PCR with endogenous control for mosquitoes and target for W. bancrofti for determining the vector infection rate. Among the 10,428 collected mosquitoes, the most abundant species were C. quinquefasciatus (85%) and Aedes aegypti (12%). Significantly larger numbers of mosquitoes were collected from the neighborhoods of Areinha and Coreia (p<0.05). MX performed using PCR validated 705 pools of engorged or gravid females, fifteen of which were positive for Wuchereria bancrofti in two neighborhoods.

Conclusions
The high density of engorged C. quinquefasciatus females per home, inadequate sanitation, and detection of W. bancrofti-infected mosquitoes in the city of São Luís represent a warning of the possible upsurge of LF, a disease that is still neglected; this underscores the need for the ostensive monitoring of LF in Brazil.
Discoverability and the Small Publisher: A Case Study from RTI Press
Authors: Gering Anne , Wetterberg Anna 
Published: January 2023

Digital publishing holds the promise of global dissemination of research findings. Small publishers, however, face numerous obstacles to making their publications discoverable: budget/personnel constraints, marketplace competition, a vast array of formats and types of metadata available, and so on. Where is a small publisher to start?
This poster summarizes RTI Press’s efforts to boost our discoverability. By looking at what worked and what didn’t work, we demonstrate how other small scholarly publishers can develop discoverability strategies and tactics that are cost-efficient, tailored to the appropriate audience, and effective. Since implementing these strategies, RTI Press had a 29% YOY increase in citations in fiscal year 2020 and a 32% increase in fiscal year 2021.
RTI Press is a global publisher of peer-reviewed, diamond open-access publications. We are also the small scholarly publishing arm of RTI International, our parent research institution. Because of our size, various institutional constraints, and the fact that we publish less traditional formats, we experience many of the obstacles small presses face in sharing their publications.
We used a twofold approach to investing in our discoverability. First, we made cultural investments: getting leadership buy-in, educating researchers, using researcher networks to promote publications, determining reader needs, and collaborating with our library services and corporate communications team. Second, we made technological investments by using analytics to determine our readers’ habits, improving our metadata, integrating additional metadata by using persistent identifiers and an institutional repository, indexing our publications where our readers can find them, and improving our website’s SEO.
Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Early Career Publishing Professionals: Perspectives from the Remote Workplace
Authors: Harwood Hannah , Jewett Kevin , Lavallee Kate 
Published: January 2023

Between the impacts of COVID-19 and the Great Resignation, many people are changing fields or finding new jobs, including those within the scholarly publishing community. Increased opportunities for remote work can provide expanded geographic flexibility, better work-life balance, and higher levels of productivity. However, the benefits of remote work may also come at a cost for those in the early stages of their career.
We collected perspectives from early career members of the scholarly publishing community who have moved to a remote or hybrid environment. We asked them to describe the perceived benefits and challenges faced by a transition to remote work and changes in their career. We also reached out to managers and mentors to ask their thoughts about bringing new employees up to speed and providing effective mentorship in a remote or hybrid environment.
We also asked both groups to provide recommendations to the other for how these challenges can be addressed and mitigated going forward. It is vital that both early-career members of the scholarly publishing community, and their managers and mentors, learn to adapt and thrive in a virtual setting as the reality of the remote workplace is here to stay.
Persona Profiles for CRediT roles
Authors: Hosseini Mohammad , Gonzales Sara , Carson Matthew , Holmes Kristi 
Published: January 2023

CRediT is the most frequently used contributor role data model, adopted extensively by key scholarly stakeholders including funders (e.g., Wellcome Trust), publishers (e.g., Elsevier, Sage, Springer), and repositories (e.g., Zenodo/InvenioRDM), and is expected to play an increasingly critical role in the context of data sharing and open science workflows. By providing a standard list of fourteen roles to specify individual contributions to scholarly publications, CRediT enhances transparency and consistency about reporting diverse contributions to scholarly works, thereby improving the attribution of credit and responsibilities. However, CRediT can be limited, as it oversimplifies complex research activities and overlooks the rich range of responsibilities and requirements in today’s interdisciplinary research. Likewise, ethical application of CRediT suffers from inconsistent and sometimes inaccurate understanding of roles, resulting in the misattribution of credit and responsibilities due to brief descriptive definitions of roles that are difficult to apply across disciplines. In response, we have developed a strategy to articulate CRediT roles with persona profiles to facilitate better communication of these roles and reduce the likelihood of misunderstanding.
This poster will present our rationale and activities to create persona profiles for CRediT roles, providing an opportunity to gather feedback on our understanding of these roles across various research domains to improve the quality of our persona profiles. This project is supported by a Mission Advancement Award from Northwestern University Department of Preventive Medicine and the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS, UL1TR001422).

Published: January 2023

Preschool is the term that allows the most positive and permanent contributions to movements skills to be realized. This term includes the development stages that may shape whole life. It is known that, apporpriate education programs in sensitive age terms accelerate development at children. Therefore, the effects of perceptual motor development programs on balance and qucikness will be examined in this study.Pre-test Post-test control group model is carried out in this study. 62 children, consisting of 30 for test group and 32 for control gorup and ages of which changing between 4 and 6 were participated in this study. Perceptual motor development activities were applied on test group for a period of 14 weeks and pre-test and post-test differences were analized by independent samples t test between the groups. Consequently; while significant differences (p<0.01) were seen at within-group measurements, there was no significant difference at between-group measurements (p>0.05) at the pre-test post test values of motor performance of test group and control gorup.
Legal and Institutional Impediments to Sharing Economy: Case of Uber’s Non-Uptake in Hong Kong
Authors: Iu Kwan-Yuen , Cheuk Paul W. H. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Technological innovations can significantly impact market structures and the behavior of actors, necessitating legal changes. However, in the face of technological changes brought by sharing economy, there is a differential in the responsiveness of rule-making institutions across different jurisdictions. This article analyses the rule-making institutions that allow for the regulatory changes procured by Uber and the institutional impediments that may restrict jurisdiction in accommodating this type of crowd-based technological disrupters. Uber’s non-adoption in Hong Kong is compared to its success in the United States to evaluate the limitations of rule-making institutions in responding to the legal change required by sharing economy companies. Changes in the rule-making institutions themselves may be needed to accelerate technological innovations and economic growth. This article suggests that there is a lack of institutional adaptability in Hong Kong, where the rule-making institutions are unable to facilitate potential regulatory reform. While the feasibility of changing a particular jurisdiction’s electoral system and political systems may be low, jurisdictions can improve the accountability of their executive regulators by modifying the incentive structure.
Plato’s Timaeus and the Limits of Natural Science
Authors: MacFarlane Ian 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The relationship between mind and necessity is one of the major points of difficulty for the interpretation of Plato’s Timaeus. At times Timaeus seems to say the demiurge is omnipotent in his creation, and at other times seems to say he is limited by pre-existing matter. Most interpretations take one of the two sides, but this paper proposes a novel approach to interpreting this issue which resolves the difficulty. This paper suggests that in his speech Timaeus presents two hypothetical models of creation, one with an omnipotent demiurge and one where he is limited by matter, so as to investigate their theoretical and empirical validity. Further, he shows that each model is ultimately an inadequate explanation of the first principles of the cosmos. Timaeus’ speech is therefore properly understood to be aporetic: it leaves its listeners aware of the difficulties inherent in the two models of creation, but without a more viable alternative.

In particular, we consider asymptotic behavior and continuity of resolvents with positive parameter in a complete geodesic space whose curvature is bounded above. Furthermore, we apply these results to resolvents of convex functions.
HWCD: A hybrid approach for image compression using wavelet, encryption using confusion, and decryption using diffusion scheme
Authors: Latha Heggere Rangaswamaiah , Ramaprasath Alagarswamy 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Image data play important role in various real-time online and offline applications. Biomedical field has adopted the imaging system to detect, diagnose, and prevent several types of diseases and abnormalities. The biomedical imaging data contain huge information which requires huge storage space. Moreover, currently telemedicine and IoT based remote health monitoring systems are widely developed where data is transmitted from one place to another. Transmission of this type of huge data consumes more bandwidth. Along with this, during this transmission, the attackers can attack the communication channel and obtain the important and secret information. Hence, biomedical image compression and encryption are considered the solution to deal with these issues. Several techniques have been presented but achieving desired performance for combined module is a challenging task. Hence, in this work, a novel combined approach for image compression and encryption is developed. First, image compression scheme using wavelet transform is presented and later a cryptography scheme is presented using confusion and diffusion schemes. The outcome of the proposed approach is compared with various existing techniques. The experimental analysis shows that the proposed approach achieves better performance in terms of autocorrelation, histogram, information entropy, PSNR, MSE, and SSIM.
