Authors: Cole Judith , Hughes Carmel , Cadogan Cathal , Vellinga Akke , Molloy Gerard , Fahey Tom , Sheaf Greg , Maher Anthony , Ryan Cristin 
Published: September 2023

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AmR) is widely considered a global health threat and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and costs. Inappropriate antimicrobial use is the most important modifiable risk factor for AmR. Most human antimicrobial medicines use occurs in primary care [prescribed by general practitioners (GPs), dispensed by community pharmacists (CPs)]. However, up to 50% of use is deemed inappropriate. Point-of-care diagnostic tests are used as a basis for antimicrobial stewardship interventions to improve the diagnostic certainty of respiratory tract infections (RTIs), and therefore ensure prudent antimicrobial use. However, there is a lack of guidance on their use, and they are therefore not routinely used in clinical practice. Objective: A scoping review will be conducted to synthesise the available evidence to inform the development of best practice guidance for using point-of-care diagnostics in the management of RTIs in primary care. Methods: A scoping review will be conducted following guidance from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and reported using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Databases including Web of Science, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, the International HTA database and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, as well as grey literature, will be searched. Screening will be undertaken independently by two reviewers to identify studies and literature reporting the use of point-of-care diagnostics in the management of RTIs in primary care by GPs and/ or CPs. Findings will be described using narrative synthesis. Conclusion: The findings of this scoping review will be used to produce draft guidance on the use of point-of-care diagnostic tests in primary care, which will undergo further development using a Delphi consensus methodology involving experts in the field of RTIs, antimicrobial stewardship, point-of-care diagnostics and primary care.
The Driver-Aide Problem: Coordinated Logistics for Last-Mile Delivery
Authors: Raghavan S. , Zhang Rui 
Published: September 2023

Problem definition: Last-mile delivery is a critical component of logistics networks, accounting for approximately 30%–35% of costs. As delivery volumes have increased, truck route times have become unsustainably long. To address this issue, many logistics companies, including FedEx and UPS, have resorted to using a “driver aide” to assist with deliveries. The aide can assist the driver in two ways. As a “jumper,” the aide works with the driver in preparing and delivering packages, thus reducing the service time at a given stop. As a “helper,” the aide can independently work at a location delivering packages, and the driver can leave to deliver packages at other locations and then return. Given a set of delivery locations, travel times, service times, jumper’s savings, and helper’s service times, the goal is to determine both the delivery route and the most effective way to use the aide (e.g., sometimes as a jumper and sometimes as a helper) to minimize the total routing time. Methodology/results: We model this problem as an integer program with an exponential number of variables and an exponential number of constraints and propose a branch-cut-and-price approach for solving it. Our computational experiments are based on simulated instances built on real-world data provided by an industrial partner and a data set released by Amazon. The instances based on the Amazon data set show that this novel operation can lead to, on average, a 35.8% reduction in routing time and 22.0% in cost savings. More importantly, our results characterize the conditions under which this novel operation mode can lead to significant savings in terms of both the routing time and cost. Managerial implications: Our computational results show that the driver aide with both jumper and helper modes is most effective when there are denser service regions and when the truck’s speed is higher (≥10 miles per hour). Coupled with an economic analysis, we come up with rules of thumb (that have close to 100% accuracy) to predict whether to use the aide and in which mode. Empirically, we find that the service delivery routes with greater than 50% of the time devoted to delivery (as opposed to driving) are the ones that provide the greatest benefit. These routes are characterized by a high density of delivery locations. Supplemental Material: The e-companion is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/msom.2022.0211 .
On the Interplay of Production Flexibility, Capital Structure, and Investment Timing
Authors: Lai Guoming , Ritchken Peter , Wu Qi 
Published: September 2023

Problem definition: Modern technologies have made it viable for firms to lower the costs of switching on and off production in response to market changes. In this paper, we explore how production start–stop flexibility impacts joint operating policies, financing, and investment timing decisions. Methodology/results: We develop a continuous-time, optimal stopping model in which equity holders of the firm make operational decisions regarding pausing and restarting production as well as when to default. The degree of production flexibility is measured by switching costs. On the one hand, production flexibility influences the trade-off between tax shields and default costs for the capital structure decision; on the other hand, debt levels impact the equity holders’ incentive to use flexibility by pausing and restarting operations. We find that optimal debt usage is not monotone in production flexibility. Specifically, when switching costs are in a low region, the optimal debt level decreases slowly as switching costs increase. As switching costs increase into an intermediate region, the optimal debt level decreases sharply because the firm needs to reduce its debt to ensure the equity holders maintain flexible operating policies. However, when switching costs exceed a threshold, the cost of compromising the use of debt becomes excessive, and the firm substantially increases its debt to gain the full benefit of the tax shield; in so doing, the equity holders forgo flexibility and maintain production continuously until default. This financing strategy affects the firm’s investment timing decision, which also exhibits a nonmonotone pattern. Managerial implications: When a firm optimizes the debt usage and investment timing, the incentive of utilizing flexibility embedded in the production technology by the equity holders needs to be taken into account. Our findings also reveal new benefits and guidance for the potential design of incentive contracts to mitigate agency costs. Funding: Q. Wu was supported by Weatherhead School of Management Intramural Grant [Grant IG121420-05-QXW132] for this research.

Published: September 2023

Background
Reports of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) rarely include descriptions of the right ventricle (RV). This study aimed to describe the characteristics of the RV in LVNC patients with reduced LV function (LVNC-R) compared with patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and subjects with LVNC with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF) (LVNC-N).

Methods
Forty-four LVNC-R patients, 44 LVNC-N participants, and 31 DCM patients were included in this retrospective study (LV-EF: LVNC-R: 33.4±10.2%; LVNC-N: 65.0±5.9%; DCM: 34.6±7.9%). Each group was divided into two subgroups by the amount of RV trabeculation.

Results
There was no difference in the RV-EF between the groups, and the RV trabecular mass correlated positively with the RV volume and negatively with the RV-EF in all the groups. All the measured parameters were comparable between the groups with decreased LV function. The hypertrabeculated RV subgroups showed significantly higher RV volumes and lower RV-EF only in the decreased-LV-function groups. The correlation of LV and RV trabeculation was observed only in the LVNC-N group, while LV trabeculation correlated with RV volumes in both noncompacted groups. Both decreased-LV-function groups had worse RV strain values than the LVNC-N group; however, RV strain values correlated with RV trabeculation predominantly in the LVNC-R group.

Conclusions
The presence and characteristics of RV hypertrabeculation and the correlations between LV trabeculation and RV parameters raise the possibility of RV involvement in noncompaction; moreover, RV strain values might be helpful in the early detection of RV function deterioration.

Authors: Leung Ryan , Lo Wai-Kit , Sharma Nirmal S. , Goldberg Hilary J. , Chan Walter W. 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease has been associated with worse lung transplant outcomes. We aimed to assess local practices for esophageal function testing (EFT) across transplant centers.

Methods:
Survey study of all UNOS-accredited adult lung transplant centers regarding local EFT practice.

Results:
Among 39/63 (60%) responded centers, 38.5% required any EFT (35.9% esophageal manometry, 15.4% pH-monitoring, and 28.2% pH-impedance), while another 28.2% may consider EFT based on symptoms. Five-year transplant volume was higher among centers requiring EFT (253 vs 159, p=0.04).

Conclusion:
Only a minority of lung transplant centers routinely obtained EFT, supporting the need for guidelines for standardized reflux/esophageal assessment.
Ensino de Língua Portuguesa baseado em Competências versus a Formação Social do Indivíduo
Authors: Bedran Patrícia Fabiana 
Published: September 2023

Tendo por base o referencial teórico da perspectiva sociocultural (VYGOTSKY, 1999, 2010, 2011) e do modelo ideológico de letramento (STREET, 1995; 2006), este artigo objetiva criar inteligibilidades sobre a proposta de aprendizagens essenciais de Língua Portuguesa da BNCC. De forma mais específica, almeja-se investigar como se constitui a proposta de formação do aluno, tendo em vista conceitos e pressupostos teóricos usados para fundamentar, organizar e sistematizar a apresentação do conteúdo curricular. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, de base qualitativa (CAULLEY, 1983), que tem o compromisso com a descrição e interpretação dos fatos (ANDRÉ, 2000). Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que o documento parece contemplar uma proposta de formação do aluno mais situada e contextualizada, de imersão em práticas sociais de uso de gêneros textuais, com base em uma concepção de língua de base enunciativo-discursiva, associada à construção de sua identidade, e na observância de fatores emocionais, que são contemplados e abarcados pelo modelo de Ensino baseado em Competências. A grande questão é que se trata de uma forma simplória e menos obstrutiva de incorporar questões tão caras para uma formação contemporânea, que deveria estar voltada para a superação de desigualdades sociais e econômicas, e que, intencionalmente, em atendimento às exigências neoliberais, além de não reequilibrar os elementos centrais do currículo, com vistas à manutenção das ideologias vigentes que constituem o processo educacional e o social, justifica as contradições que podem ser observadas ao longo do documento e exigem uma postura muito mais questionadora e reflexiva do educador-leitor.

Tocar el piano es la mayor pasión de Mathieu Malinski, un joven talentoso de los suburbios parisinos al que su vecino, el Sr. Jaques, enseñó a tocar cuando era niño. Fallecido este, la música se terminó para Mathieu, convirtiéndose en su mayor frustración y también en su gran secreto: las clases eran un lujo que su madre no podía costear y una actividad cuestionada y ridiculizada por las malas compañías de las que se rodeaba.
Aficionado a tocar el piano de la estación de tren, Mathieu fue escuchado por Pierre Geithner, director del Departamento de Música del Conservatorio Nacional Superior de Música de París, quien se convertiría en su mayor protector. Tras cometer un hurto y ser apresado por la policía, Pierre mediará para conmutar la pena de Mathieu a cambio de servicios sociales en el conservatorio. Este hecho se convertiría en la puerta de acceso a un mundo completamente desconocido y lleno de oportunidades para Mathieu, pero solo si está dispuesto a aceptarse, adaptarse, comprometerse y esforzarse.
Spatial objects classification using machine learning and spatial walk algorithm
Authors: Kaczmarek Iwona 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis article presents a novel method for classifying spatial objects by learning node representations via a spatial walk algorithm. The findings show that considering both the attributes of objects and their topological relationships enables more efficient and precise spatial objects’ classification than methods that only consider the objects’ characteristics. The method emphasizes the importance of spatial dependencies in learning representations for spatial data. A distinctive feature of the method is its focus on local analysis of the neighborhood structure of the node under investigation. The spatial walk algorithm offers a defined path generation scheme, facilitating a deeper understanding of local spatial dependencies between objects. This approach provides a more accurate representation of the essential relationships between spatial objects than random path generation and enhances the classification results, as demonstrated in three different classification scenarios. The method proves particularly effective in the context of spatial objects, where proximity and a limited number of neighbors play a significant role. This is exemplified in the classification of planning areas in spatial development plans.
Design and analysis of an optical planar waveguide using Invar as core and silicon nitride as cladding layer to control birefringence
Authors: Goyal Priyanka 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The main problem with optical planar waveguide is thermal stress which arises when layers inside the planar waveguide get fused together with different coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and due to variation in thermal properties, the problem of thermally induced strain and birefringence occurs inside the waveguide glass layer. In proposed work, the mathematical analysis of thermal induced stress and the thermal strain in waveguide glass layer is calculated. ‘C’ software is used for analysis of an optical planar waveguide to calculate the thermal stress. By using material properties of Invar (64 % iron-36 % nickel alloy) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) an optical planar waveguide is designed. Here when silicon nitride (Si3N4) is used as a cladding layer and Invar (64 % iron-36 % nickel alloy) as a core layer in an optical planar waveguide, the problem of birefringence get eradicated as zero thermal stress was achieved.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Citric acid is the most important organic acid produced in tonnage and is used extensively in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries due to its low cost and high efficiency compared to other acidulates. Citric acid is produced by fungi, bacteria and yeasts under solid-state and submerged state fermentations. Aspergillus niger
is one of the most dominant producer of citric acid. Different fruit wastes and agricultural residues are employed as surplus resources for microbial production of citric acid. In this review, the microbial sources and different organic wastes involved in citric acid production have been discussed. Furthermore, the recovery, purification and application of citric acid in different human utilities have also been reviewed.
Aerothermal effects of squealer openings on a cavity tip in a turbine cascade
Authors: Liu Zuhao , Cao Yi , Zhou Chao , Cao Zhiyuan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Both the aerodynamic and thermal performance are important for a high-pressure turbine design. This paper investigates aerothermal effects of opening on the suction side squealer of a cavity tip in a turbine cascade. There are four cases investigated, ‘Cavity’, ‘Opening 1’, ‘Opening 2’ and ‘Opening 3’. For Opening 1 with an opening area at 15 % axial chord, the opening outflow affects the near-tip flow mainly by interacting with the passage vortex, and the near tip loss increases by less than 3 %. For Opening 2 with an opening area at 12 % axial chord, the near tip loss is lower than Opening 1. By further rounding the edge of the opening area, the loss of the tip with opening is less than 1 % higher than the cavity tip. Nevertheless, the opening tip can achieve a reduction of the thermal load of the suction side squealer inner wall by up to 19 %.
Bringing Mongolia’s socio-economic environment to German museum visitors: Challenges of the planned Mongolian-German exposition „Steppenwächter” (Guards of the steppe, Dresden 2026) from a museum learning perspective
Authors: Vogt Matthias Theodor 
Published: September 2023

This text is not an ex-post-analysis, but rather an ex-ante-introduction into some challenges of a planned exposition on the “Mongol Uls” (State of Mongolia) from a museum learning perspective.
The Mongolian-German exposition “Dschingis Khan” on the 800th anniversary of the largest empire in the world’s history was a great success with visitors. Therefore, the Mongolian Foreign Minister asked the German Ambassador for a new topic to repeat this success. The Senckenberg Museum Görlitz and the Saxonian Institute of Cultural Infrastructures proposed to thematise the socio-economic environmental challenges of the Mongolian steppe from two perspectives: a natural sciences’ one, and a cultural sciences’ one. The working title is „Steppenwächter––Guards of the Steppe “.
Funds provided, we plan to open the exposition September 2026 through January 2027 at Dresden Japanisches Palais; the exposition may then go on tour (including may be Budapest) and finish at Seoul, for to stay at Ulaanbaatar around 2031. Confirmed collaboration will be with Senckenberg Natural History Collections Dresden (SNSD), National Museum of Natural History Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Cluster of the University of Vienna, and other partners.
Mongolian politics and Mongolian (male) society stick extremely to Dshingisism as national ideology. But is this a solution for nowadays immense Mongolian structural problems? Target point of the exposition is the following question: What will the audience do after leaving the exposition? Ideally, her or his task will be to shape the future of the steppe in Mongolia. “Become a steppe guardian! Your ideas might eventually enter into the exposition internet site, to be discussed by a Mongolian-German Youth parliament.”
Múzeumi tanulás a rezilienciáért – Múzeumi reziliencia a közösségekért
Authors: Koltai Zsuzsa 
Published: September 2023

Tanulási és közösségi programjai és szolgáltatásai, valamint a világ és jelenségeinek értelmezését elősegítő kiállítások szervezése révén, továbbá a múltra és a jelenkorra reflektáló párbeszéd színtereként a múzeum a társadalmat számos területen támogató intézménnyé vált napjainkra. A pandémia, illetve a világunkat érintő számos krízis ráirányította a figyelmet a múzeumok társadalmi reziliencia erősítésében betöltött szerepére, valamint a múzeumok saját rezilienciájának fontosságára.
A tanulmány a múzeumi rezilienciával, valamint a múzeumok reziliencia erősítésében betöltött szerepével kapcsolatos nemzetközi szakmai törekvések és az utóbbi időben megjelent szakirodalmak következtetéseinek áttekintése mellett a Szász Tudományos, Kulturális és Turisztikai Minisztérium „Szász Vendégprofesszor” programja keretében a szerző által lebonyolított „A múzeumi tanulás szerepe a periférikus régiók rezilienciájának erősítésében – Komparatív kutatás Görlitz kerületben és Baranya megyében” című átfogó vizsgálat Baranya vármegyére vonatkozó egyes eredményeit ismerteti.
A rétegzett mintavételi eljárásra épített kutatásra a Baranya vármegyei muzeális intézményekben és örökségi helyszíneken dolgozó múzeumpedagógusok, múzeumigazgatók, szakemberek bevonásával 2022 októbere és decembere között lebonyolított strukturált interjúk keretében került sor. Az írás azokat a reziliencia erősítése szempontjából releváns múzeumi/örökségi tudásközvetítési gyakorlatokat ismerteti, amiket empirikus kutatása keretében a szerző Baranya vármegyében tárt fel.
