Published: February 2023

IntroductionCurrent aerial plant protection with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) usually applies full coverage route planning, which is challenging for plant protection operations in the orchards in South China. Because the fruit planting has the characteristics of dispersal and irregularity, full-coverage route spraying causes re-application as well as missed application, resulting in environmental pollution. Therefore, it is of great significance to plan an efficient, low-consumption and accurate plant protection route considering the flight characteristics of UAVs and orchard planting characteristics.MethodsThis study proposes a plant protection route planning algorithm to solve the waypoint planning problem of UAV multi-objective tasks in orchard scenes. By improving the heuristic function in Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), the algorithm combines corner cost and distance cost for multi-objective node optimization. At the same time, a sorting optimization mechanism was introduced to speed up the iteration speed of the algorithm and avoid the influence of inferior paths on the optimal results. Finally, Multi-source Ant Colony Optimization (MS-ACO) was proposed after cleaning the nodes of the solution path.ResultsThe simulation results of the three test fields show that compared with ACO, the path length optimization rate of MS-ACO are 3.89%, 4.6% and 2.86%, respectively, the optimization rate of total path angles are 21.94%, 45.06% and 55.94%, respectively, and the optimization rate of node numbers are 61.05%, 74.84% and 75.47%, respectively. MS-ACO can effectively reduce the corner cost and the number of nodes. The results of field experiments show that for each test field, MS-ACO has a significant optimization effect compared with ACO, with an optimization rate of energy consumption per meter of more than 30%, the optimization rate of flight time are 46.67%, 56% and 59.01%, respectively, and the optimization rate of corner angle are 50.76%, 61.78% and 71.1%, respectively.DiscussionThe feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm were further verified. The algorithm proposed in this study can optimize the spraying path according to the position of each fruit tree and the flight characteristics of UAV, effectively reduce the energy consumption of UAV flight, improve the operating efficiency, and provide technical reference for the waypoint planning of plant protection UAV in the orchard scene.

IntroductionDrought is the largest abiotic factor impacting agriculture. Plants are challenged by both natural and artificial stressors because they are immobile. To produce drought-resistant plants, we need to know how plants react to drought. A largescale proteome study of leaf and root tissue found drought-responsive proteins. Tomato as a vegetable is grown worldwide. Agricultural biotechnology focuses on creating drought-resistant cultivars. This is important because tomato drought is so widespread. Breeders have worked to improve tomato quality, production, and stress resistance. Conventional breeding approaches have only increased drought tolerance because of drought’s complexity. Many studies have examined how tomatoes handle drought. With genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and modern sequencing technologies, it’s easier to find drought-responsive genes.MethodBiotechnology and in silico studies has helped demonstrate the function of drought-sensitive genes and generate drought-resistant plant types. The latest tomato genome editing technology is another. WRKY genes are plant transcription factors. They help plants grow and respond to both natural and artificial stimuli. To make plants that can handle stress, we need to know how WRKY-proteins, which are transcription factors, work with other proteins and ligands in plant cells by molecular docking and modeling study.ResultAbscisic acid, a plant hormone generated in stressed roots, was used here to make plants drought-resistant. Abscisic acid binds WRKY with binding affinity -7.4kcal/mol and inhibitory concentration (Ki) 0.12 microM.DiscussionThis study aims to modulate the transcription factor so plants can handle drought and stress better. Therefore, polyphenols found to make Solanum lycopersicum more drought-tolerant.

Published: February 2023

IntroductionFear of clowns or coulrophobia is a little understood phenomenon despite studies indicating that it has a high prevalence in the general population. There have been no previous investigations into the aetiology of this fear, although several plausible hypotheses from the wider literature can be generated; the fear stems from media portrayals of scary clowns, from the unusual physical appearance or the unpredictable behaviour displayed, or it derives from an unpleasant personal experience.MethodsThe current study reviews the literature in this area and also pilots a new questionnaire (Origin of Fear of Clowns Questionnaire; OFCQ) to explore the causes of the fear of clowns in a sample of 528 participants who reported such a fear.ResultsOur findings suggest that uncertainty of harmful intent, media influences and unpredictability of behaviour play an important role in the origins of coulrophobia. There are also multiple features of clown appearance which produce a negative experiential state and a sense of a direct threat.DiscussionWe conclude that the origins of clown fear are multi-factorial and primarily relate to aspects of their facial appearance, their behaviour, and how they have been portrayed in the media. Surprisingly, fear derived from personal experience was not one of our main findings. Further research is focused on looking at associations between the level of fear and each aetiological category.

ObjectiveTo understand the relationship between deliberate rumination and post-traumatic growth and the mechanisms affecting this relationship, we constructed an adjustment model to test the impact of deliberate rumination on the post-traumatic growth of college students and the moderating role of self-efficacy during the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic.Study design and settingA total of 881 college students from a university of science and technology in Guangdong Province, China, completed a questionnaire that measured deliberate rumination, post-traumatic growth, and self-efficacy. SPSS (version 26) and the PROCESS plug-in (version 4.0) were used for correlation and moderation analyses.ResultsThe correlation analysis showed that deliberate rumination was positively correlated with post-traumatic growth (r = 0.353, P &lt; 0.01) and self-efficacy (r = 0.261, P &lt; 0.01). Self-efficacy was also positively correlated with post-traumatic growth (r = 0.466, P &lt; 0.01). In addition, we found that self-efficacy had a regulatory effect on the relationship between deliberate rumination and post-traumatic growth (R2 = 0.287, P &lt; 0.001) and that this effect was significant.ConclusionThe results show that deliberate rumination can be a positive predictor of post-traumatic growth and can play a certain role in fostering such growth. In addition, self-efficacy is a moderator that plays a buffer role between deliberate rumination and post-traumatic growth. These results contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that affect post-traumatic growth.

Published: February 2023

IntroductionAs a form of platform economy, telemedicine is not growing as fast as other digital platforms. The existing literature seldom pays attention to how licensing policy affects the development of telemedicine platform models.MethodsThis paper uses the method of multi-case study and the theory of policy implementation as mutual adaptation to research the influence mechanism of telemedicine platform licensing policy on the platform model in China.ResultsThe findings of the current study are as follows: (1) three models can be classified in accordance with different platform providers in China: medical institution platform, Internet company platform and local government platform; (2) bargaining power, reputation mechanism and resource specificity are important dimensions in the analysis of platform models; (3) as an implementer in the process of licensing policy, the platform provider can not only directly determine the establishment and formation of platform model but also indirectly affect the sustainable development of platform model by affecting the supplier and the demander of platform; and (4) The impact between licensing policy and platform model is dynamic and bidirectional, mainly exerted via administrative orders, market-oriented mechanism and medical insurance.ConclusionsThe research enlightens practical exploration in telemedicine and enriches the theoretical innovation in platform.

IntroductionTo comprehend soil P transformation and crop P uptake, it is necessary to understand how the long-term substitution of mineral fertilizers with stover or biochar affects soil properties and P forms. However, the effects of large-scale continuous stover or biochar application on soil P forms and fractions and the response of P uptake by corn are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of stover and its biochar in the variation of P forms and Hedley-P fractions. MethodsA five-year field experiment in brown soil was carried out using the following treatments: non-fertilizer (CK), chemical fertilizer (NPK), chemical fertilizer + corn stover (SNPK), and chemical fertilizer + biochar (CNPK). Hedley fractionation and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to determine P compounds. Results and discussionThe greatest increases in P uptake occurred during the CNPK treatment, specifically orthophosphate and Resin-P, and coincided with increases in total inorganic P and Hedley-P fractions. On the other hand, total organic P accumulation was found to be highest in the SNPK treatment, as was total inositol hexakisphosphate and orthophosphate diester accumulation. Treatments with SNPK and CNPK significantly increased adenosine monophosphate and DNA. However, no difference was found between NaHCO3-Pi and NaOH-Pi of the NPK, SNPK, and CNPK treatments. Decreasing chemical fertilizer and partially replacing it with biochar in brown soil may increase crop P uptake by degrading applied organic P forms and multiplying inorganic P forms.

PurposeThis study aimed to compare the surgical efficacy of enlarged laminectomy with lateral mass screw fixation (EL-LMSF) and anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) for multilevel cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy (CMR) related to kyphosis.Methods75 patients were retrospectively reviewed and divided into ACDF and EL-LMSF group. Clinical results including operative time, blood loss, and postoperative complications were compared. The JOA scoring system was used to evaluate spinal cord function and the VAS score evaluate nerve root pain severity. Cervical alignment a C2–C7 was measured with Cobb method and compared to confirm the reconstruction effect.ResultsData on 75 patients (M/F: 41:34; EL-LMSF/ACDF:42/33) with the mean age of 57.5 years (range 43–72 year old) were reviewed retrospectively. Discectomy and/or sub-toal corpectomy in ACDF group was performed with a mean of 3.24 levels (range, 3–4). Enlarged laminectomy in EL-LMSF group was performed with a mean of 3.89 enlarged levels (range, 3–5). The procedure of ACDF group showed a shorter operation time (103 ± 22 min vs. 125 ± 37 min, P = 0.000) and less blood loss (78 ± 15 ml vs. 226 ± 31 ml, P = 0.000) compared than that of the EL-LMSF group. Patients treated with EL-LMSF indicated lower VAS for upper extremity (1.3 ± 1.7 vs. 3.3 ± 1.3, P = 0.003) and better curvature corrected (10.7 ± 4.2° vs. 8.5 ± 3.5°, P = 0.013). The difference were of statistical significance. No statistical difference was found after surgery in the JOA score (14.1 ± 1.7 vs. 13.5 ± 2.1, P = 0.222). During the follow-up period, 15.2% of patients in the ACDF group had complications including 2 cases with transient dysphagia, 1 case with C5 palsy, 1 case with axial pain, and 1 case with screw pullout 3 month after surgery. However, only 9.5% of cases in the EL-LMSF group experienced complications, including 3 cases of axial pain and 1 case of epidural hematoma.ConclusionThe EL-LMSF procedure requires a longer operation time and more blood loss because of the incision of the stenosed foramen. However, the procedure has obvious advantages in relieving nerve root symptoms and correcting cervical curvature with fewer postoperative complications.

Published: February 2023

Background: Diastasis recti (DR) is characterized by separation of both rectus muscles and protrusion of the median bulging, but besides median bulging DR can also entail global abdominal bulging. On other note, DR classification is based on the width of divarication, but measurement values are different at rest and at effort due to muscle contraction. Aim of the study is to provide additional features concerning the type of bulging and the width of divarication.Methods: Findings were retrospectively drawn from the data prospectively collected in the records of a continuous cohort of 105 patients (89 females, 16 males) referred for diastasis and concomitant ventral hernia repair.Results: There was a median bulging alone in 45 (42.9%) cases, a global bulging alone in 18 (17.1%) cases, both types combined in 37 (35.2%) cases and no bulging in 5 (4.8%). On 55 patients with a global bulging, 51 were females. Tape measurements values of DR width were closer to the values measured on the CT scan at leg raise than at rest. The differences were significant at rest as well as at leg raise. Though the difference at rest was highly significant (p = 0.000), the difference at effort was not far from being not significant (p = 0.049).Conclusion: Besides median bulging, presence or absence of the global bulging should be included in DR assessment. The difference between width of divarication at rest and on exertion raises the question of which value should be used for DR classification. The question is worth being debated.

Published: February 2023

Background: Gastric adenosquamous carcinoma with EBV-positive component of squamous cell carcinoma mixed with gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma are extremely unusual variants of gastric carcinoma. We herein reported such a case and summarized five related cases that have been reported previously.Case presentation: A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with upper abdominal discomfort and acid reflux. Gastric endoscopic examination revealed an irregular ulcer in the gastric angle. Biopsy of the lesion revealed adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection subsequently. Histologically, the tumor showed coexistence of GASC and GCLS. SCC and GCLS were positive for EBER in situ hybridization, while adenocarcinoma component was negative. Accordingly, the present case was diagnosed as GASC with EBV-positive component of SCC mixed with GCLS.Conclusion: GASC with EBV-positive component of SCC mixed with GCLS is extremely rare. Although the pathogenesis of GASC and the role of EBV in the development of an ASC component have not been fully elucidated, this case will help clinicians and pathologists better understand this special subtype of gastric tumor.

The aims of this research are (1) To identify rest verbs in English and Buginese based on Dixon's classification of sleep subtypes. (2) To examine the distinctions and equivalences between the English and Buginese Sit subtypes of Rest verbs in terms of semantics and grammatical structure. While the data for Buginese were gained from field research through the process of observation and in-depth interview, the data for English were taken from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). Both sets of data were evaluated using qualitative and descriptive methods. This study's findings demonstrate that (1) there are six rest verbs of Sleep subtype in English, they are sleep, nap, doze, siesta, drowse, catnap, and beauty sleep. While in Buginese, there are many verbs that refers to rest verb, they are Tinro’, lewu’, makkapeddeng’,cakkaruddu’, mappalempu’, moppang’, lengeng’, nDitti’, manippi’, mappasau’ tengngeng’, maggalelu’ mangkangulu’, makkadukku’, maggalengkeng’, mappalangka’, mabboco’, ma’ranjang, maggalampang’, rebba’-rebba’, lesso’, mammauneng’, mangoro’and mabbenni’. (2) Clause structure and stance of resting are two areas where the main distinctions between rest verbs in English and Buginese based on the Sleep subtype may be recognized. According to clause structure, an NP in English is followed by a VP, however in Buginese it is acceptable for a VP to be followed by an NP that is denoted by the prefix Ma'- in VP. From the perspective of the resting aspect, cultural background has a significant impact on the different rest verb forms. Keywords: Preposition, locus, culture, rest verbs, semantic verb kinds.
