Efficiency Improvement of Solar Panels Through Parasitic Parameters Extraction and Maximum Power Improvement with Enhanced Slime Mold Optimization Under Partial Shading Conditions
Authors: venkateshwarlu S. , Rao J V G Rama , Saleem Shaik Abdul 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Solar energy offers several environmental, economic, and energy security advantages. Parasitic parameters and shading on solar panels can reduce efficiency. This paper presents a bio-inspired Enhanced Slime Mold (ESM) algorithm search strategy to find the optimal power point by simulating the behaviour of slime molds in a virtual environment. In a solar panel, proposed ESM provides not only for parameter extraction but also serves as Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) during Partial Shading Conditions (PSC). Proposed ESM dynamic behaviour is examined under solar irradiation and various temperature conditions. The effectiveness of proposed technique has been validated by extracting parameters from conventional polycrystalline and monocrystalline modules in the form of a 5S-5P arrangement. In the instance of MPPT operation, the proposed ESM algorithm is compared with Ant Bee Colony and Perturb& Observe (ABC-PO) to determine its efficacy. Moreover, during extraction of unknown parameters of solar cell ESM is compared with existing optimization algorithms such as Artificial Bee Swarm Optimization (ABC SO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Covariant Matrix (CM), Ant Bee Colony (ABC), and Advanced Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO). In this connection, proposed ESM algorithm is superior to above-mentioned algorithms due to high accuracy, a smaller number of computations, and minimum computational time.
Engineering Escherichia coli to assimilate β-alanine as a major carbon source

Abstract

The threat of global plastic waste accumulation has spurred the exploration of plastics derived from biological sources. A well-known example is polyester made of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO). However, there is no known pathway to assimilate 1,3-PDO into the central carbon metabolism, posing a potential challenge to upcycling such plastic wastes. Here, we proposed that the 1,3-PDO assimilation pathway could pass through malonate semialdehyde (MSA) as an intermediate. Since MSA is a toxic aldehyde, β-alanine was chosen as a surrogate substrate in this study to construct the lower part of the proposed pathway. To this end, we successfully engineered E. coli MG1655 to assimilate β-alanine as the major carbon source. β-alanine could be easily converted into MSA using a β-alanine/pyruvate transaminase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PaBapt). However, the subsequent step to generate acetyl-CoA from MSA was unknown. After a series of phenotype screenings, adaptive laboratory evolution and transcriptomic analysis, two CoA-acylating MSA dehydrogenases from Vibrio natriegens (VnMmsD) were found to be able to complete the metabolic pathway. Optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of the resulting strain E. coli BA02 could reach 4.5 after 96 hours. Two approaches were subsequently used to improve its performance. First, PaBapt and both VnMmsDs were expressed from a single plasmid to mitigate antibiotic stress. Second, a native 3-hydroxy acid dehydrogenase (EcYdfG) was disrupted to address the carbon loss to 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP) production from MSA. OD600 of the best performing strain E. coli BA07∆ could reach 6 within 24 hours using 5 g/L β-alanine. The construction of E. coli BA07∆ lays a solid foundation to establishing an 1,3-PDO assimilation pathway.

Published: April 2023

Abstract

Background Indonesia still has the highest maternal mortality rate (MMR) compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, most maternal deaths occur before, during, or after delivery. Therefore, Indonesia’s government has rolled out various health insurance schemes so they have access to maternal healthcare services. This review aims to evaluate the impact of health insurance on maternal health care in Indonesia.Methods All searches for relevant studies were performed in PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, and Garuda databases. This review focuses on RCT or observational study, and only articles written in English and Indonesian were retrieved. The main outcome was the utilization of maternal services and patient satisfaction.Results A total of 140,555 participants were enrolled with ten studies that met the inclusion criteria. Of these, seven studies reported on National Health Insurance (NHI) and the remaining reported on Local Health Insurance (LHI). Both NHI and LHI studies showed that insurance increases the use of maternal health care services significantly, including antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care services. Only two studies reported patient satisfaction. The LHI study showed that insurance increases the patient’s level of satisfaction significantly. On the other hand, the NHI study showed there is no difference between NHI and non-NHI patients’ levels of satisfaction. This was due to complicated procedures and long examination times for NHI users.Conclusion The implementation of health insurance appears to increase the utilization of maternal health care services, although the result on patients’ satisfaction is inconsistent between NHI and LHI studies.

Background
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by persistent and widespread musculoskeletal pain. Telerehabilitation is a promising treatment for patients with fibromyalgia through long-term monitoring, intervention, supervision, consultation, and education.

Objective
This study aimed to perform a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of telerehabilitation in patients with fibromyalgia.

Methods
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to fibromyalgia and telerehabilitation were systematically searched in the PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to November 13, 2022. Two independent researchers screened the literatures and evaluated the methodological quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. The outcome measures included the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire scale, pain intensity, depression, pain catastrophizing, quality of life (QoL), and adverse events. Pooled effect sizes were calculated by Stata SE 15.1; a fixed effects model was used when I2<50%, whereas a random effects model was used when I2≥50%.

Results
A total of 14 RCTs with 1242 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that the telerehabilitation improved the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire score (weighted mean difference –8.32, 95% CI –11.72 to –4.91; P<.001), pain intensity (standardized mean difference [SMD] –0.62, 95% CI –0.76 to –0.47; P<.001), depression levels (SMD –0.42, 95% CI –0.62 to –0.22; P<.001), pain catastrophizing (weighted mean difference –5.81, 95% CI –9.40 to –2.23; P=.001), and QoL (SMD 0.32, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.47; P<.001) in patients with fibromyalgia compared to control interventions. Only 1 RCT reported a mild adverse event of telerehabilitation; the other 13 RCTs did not mention this.

Conclusions
Telerehabilitation can improve the symptoms and QoL of fibromyalgia. However, the safety of telerehabilitation remains uncertain due to the lack of sufficient evidence for the management of fibromyalgia. More rigorously designed trials are needed in the future to verify the safety and efficacy of telerehabilitation in fibromyalgia.

Motivational Optimism and Short-Term Investment Efficiency
Authors: Li Meng , Markov Stanimir , Shu Susan 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
We explore whether managers’ strong desire for good performance distorts their expectations and, consequently, corporate investment efficiency. We find that managers overweight favorable information and underweight unfavorable information, resulting in optimistic earnings guidance. We construct an ex ante measure of optimism and show that greater optimism is associated with a lower inventory investment efficiency: Managers overinvest in inventory, resulting in lower inventory turnover and increased incidence and severity of inventory writedowns. We also find motivational optimism influences firms’ financial reporting and is associated with an increased incidence of financial misreporting. Our results are consistent with the psychology theory of motivated reasoning, which emphasizes the distortive effects of preferences on beliefs and judgments.

Voltaire lector de Castel de Saint‒Pierre
Authors: Ratto Adrián 
Published: April 2023

Es un lugar común considerar a Voltaire como un crítico de Castel de Saint‒Pierre y uno de los principales responsables de la recepción de su imagen como la de un promotor de ideas impracticables, en particular su proyecto de paz permanente entre las naciones. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar que, en cualquier caso, la interpretación que hace de los escritos del abate es menos simple de lo que se puede pensar en un primer momento. El trabajo busca poner de relieve los desplazamientos y torsiones que la figura de éste sufre en los escritos del filósofo francés, especialmente a partir de los años 50’, momento en el que revaloriza algunos aspectos de su obra. Por otra parte, el texto arroja algunas luces acerca de lo que podría considerarse el proyecto de paz del propio Voltaire.
Finite Length Triple Estimation Algorithm and its Application to Gyroscope MEMS Noise Identification
Authors: Macias Michal , Sierociuk Dominik 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The noises associated with MEMS measurements can significantly impact their accuracy. The noises characterised by random walk and bias instability errors strictly depend on temperature effects that are difficult to specify during direct measurements. Therefore, the paper aims to estimate the fractional noise dynamics of the stationary MEMS gyroscope based on finite length triple estimation algorithm (FLTEA). The paper deals with the state, order and parameter estimation of fractional order noises originating from the MEMS gyroscope, being part of the popular Inertial Measurement Unit denoted as SparkFun MPU9250. The noise measurements from x, y and z gyroscope axes are identified using a modified triple estimation algorithm (TEA) with finite approximation length. The TEA allows a simultaneous estimation of the state, order and parameter of fractional order systems. Moreover, as it is well-known that the number of samples in fractional difference approximations plays a key role, we try to show the influence of applying the TEA with various approximation length constraints on final estimation results. The validation of finite length TEA in the noise estimation process coming from MEMS gyroscope has been conducted for implementation length reduction achieving 50% of samples needed to estimate the noise with no implementation losses. Additionally, the capabilities of modified TEA in the analysis of fractional constant and variable order systems are confirmed in several numerical examples.
Optimisation of ultrasonic-assisted extraction and biological activity of total flavonoids from leaves of Murrayae exotica using response surface methodology
Authors: Wen Yao , Liu Manchun , Mai Xueying 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT

Murrayae exotica is a traditional Chinese medicine widely grown in southeast China. A Box–Behnken design of response surface methodology was employed to further optimise ultrasonic-assisted extraction conditions for M. exotica leaves total flavonoids (MELTF). The results showed that the optimised extraction conditions were an ultrasonic power of 240 W, an ultrasonic temperature of 60 °C, a solvent concentration of 76%, an ultrasonic time of 55 min and a liquid–solid ratio of 22 mL · g−1. Under these conditions, 8.59 ± 0.34 mg · g−1 was achieved as the mean experimental value of extraction yield, which amounts to 2.56 times that of ethanol leaching extraction. As compared to MELTF, MELTF after purification (MELPTF) had a higher purity of 9.96%, which was nearly nine times higher than that of MELTF (1.26%). As compared to MELTF, MELPTF had higher α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities as well as DPPH· and ABTS·+ scavenging activities with IC50 values of 0.021, 0.094, 0.245 and 0.113 mg · mL−1, which are 1.33, 2.12, 3.17 and 1.78 times higher than those of MELTF (0.028, 0.199, 0.777 and 0.201 mg · mL−1). The study thus demonstrates the eligibility of MELPTF to be considered as a multifunctional bioactive ingredient having potential applications in anti-hyperglycaemic pharmaceutical formulation and as an antioxidant in functional foods.
Functional and morphological maturation of the full-sized and mini-pig corpus luteum by programmed cell death mechanism
Authors: Lee Ji-Hye , Kim Sang-Hwan 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

Introduction
The formation and function of the corpus luteum (CL) increase the likelihood of pregnancy and efficiently manage implantation. Apoptosis must occur at an appropriate time in the formation of the CL. This also affects its function. However, it is still unclear if the type of apoptosis affects the function.

Material and Methods
We conducted morphological analysis of the CL collected on day 15 between the middle and late oestrous phases of Yorkshire pigs and mini-pigs, and measured the difference in hormone expression and apoptosis using an immunoassay method and messenger RNA level.

Results
The CL cells were more uniform in the Yorkshire pigs than in the mini-pigs, and the composition of the CL was also fuller. The expression of luteinising hormone was higher in the Yorkshire pigs. Apoptosis and the rate of action of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were different between the two pig types. Expression of MMPs was higher in the Yorkshire pigs than in the mini-pigs. However, the expression of caspase 3 and 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, a progesterone inhibitor, was potentiated in the mini-pigs.

Conclusion
Autophagy throughout the CL was more extensive in the Yorkshire pigs than in the mini-pigs, suggesting that autophagy and cell reorganisation by MMPs were highly correlated. The occurrence of autophagy in the formation and function of the CL may affect the action of hormones and expression of cell reconstitution factors.
