Published: June 2023

Abstract
North Sulawesi Province, part of Wallace Bioregion, has a complex ecosystem. Advanced urban development brings various impacts, such as environmental change. Birds’ existence around human provides some advantages, such as assisting the process of plant pollination, controlling insect populations, and indicators of environmental quality. This study aimed to determine the bird species composition in four locations and the environmental quality was analysed using the Bird Community Index (BCI). This study gathered data on bird species in Manado Bay, Gunung Tumpa, Kawanua Arboretum, and the Kaki Dian areas. We conducted field observation through point count method as primary data and the secondary data were obtained from previous publications. Data were analyzed using Bird Community and Sorenson indexes. This study revealed that the birds’ quantities and composition moderately varied in four locations. This study found 37 bird species in Manado Bay, 33 in Tumpa Mountain, 36 in Kawanua Arboretum, and 49 in the Klabat mountain areas. The Bird Community Index (BCI) accumulation ranged from 56.0 – 68.4 and it was categorized as medium environmental quality. Sorensen’s community similarity index displayed a value of 30.3-51.0% which classified as low to medium community similarity.

Abstract

Senna alata (L.) Roxb., locally known as “Ketepeng China” from the family of Fabaceae, is a shrub or small tree that is used as an ornamental flowering shrub and for medicinal purposes in tropical and subtropical countries. Various parts of S. alata plant (leaves, flowers, roots, or stem) are used in traditional medicines to treat typhoid, diabetes, malaria, asthma, ringworms, scabies, and eczema. The present study was designed to investigate plant conservation by establishing an efficient seed germination method. The seeds of S. alata responded differently in growth to each location and medium. The best result-produced seedlings are grown in pots filled with sand, both at Bogor and Cibodas. The percentage of seed germination on sand was higher (around 96.7%) than on husk media (about 10%) for 10 planting days.
Effect of several reduced-risk insecticides on the population of Bemisia tabaci Genn. and incidence of pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCIV) on chili plants
Authors: Amaliah I K , Daud I D , Nasruddin A 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn. can directly, and indirectly damage chili plants by sucking the plant sap and transmitting Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCIV), respectively. Farmers control PepYLCIV by using synthetic insecticides with 2-3 applications a week to suppress the vector population. The intensive use of insecticide raises concern about potential detrimental effects on the environment and non-target organisms. An alternative control measure for B. tabaci is the use of reduced-risk insecticides that are effective but safer. Thus, the study aimed to determine the effectiveness of various reduced-risk insecticides in reducing the whitefly population and PepYLCIV incidence. This experiment consisted of 12 treatments using insecticides of abamectin, azadiractin, imidacloprid, deltamethrin, spinosad, and water (control), applied once and twice a week. The results showed that the low-risk insecticides had no significant effect on the numbers of adults and nymphs of B. tabaci and the PepYLCIV incidence. Imidacloprid had significantly lower egg number and PepYLCIV incidence than the control and the other insecticide treatments. Our results also showed that B. tabaci populations were low throughout the season but the incidences of PepYLCIV were relatively high. This indicated a possibility that PepYLCIV is seed-borne.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
CVPD disease (Huanglongbing) is the most severe citrus disease caused by the bacterium Cand. Liberibacter asiaticus. This pathogen lives in the phloem tissue of citrus plants and is transmitted through the vector Diaphorina citri and by grafting. The study aimed to know the presence of CVPD disease in Orange cv Selayar nurseries and mother tree gardens in the Selayar Islands Regency. The PCR test was carried out in the research using the Laboratory of Agricultural Biotechnology, Hasanuddin University. The DNA of the citrus leaves was extracted using the Genomic DNA Kit method and the DNA CLas was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the primer pairs OI1-O12c. The results showed that the percentage of mother plants of orange cv. Selayar infected with CVPD-like symptoms were 10-21 %. The percentage of citrus seedlings with CVPD-like symptoms in 2 nurseries were 0.27% and 0.09%. The symptoms of CVPD disease have been confirmed using a PCR technique, which was successful in amplifying the DNA fragment of CLa measuring 1160 bp, although not all symptoms suspected of CVPD are confirmed positive.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Background
COVID-19 brought additional challenges to Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) decision-making, which was already a contentious issue. In the UK, reports of poor DNACPR decision-making and communication emerged in 2020, including from the regulator, the Care Quality Commission. This paper explores the experiences of people who discussed DNACPR with a healthcare professional on behalf of a relative during the coronavirus pandemic, with the aim of identifying areas of good practice and what needs to be improved.

Methods
a total of 39 people participated in semi-structured interviews via video conferencing software or telephone. Data were evaluated using Framework Analysis.

Findings
results are presented around three main themes: understanding, communication and impact. Participants’ understanding about DNACPR was important, as those with better understanding tended to reflect more positively on their discussions with clinicians. The role of relatives in the decision-making process was a frequent source of misunderstanding. Healthcare professionals’ communication skills were important. Where discussions went well, relatives were given clear explanations and the opportunity to ask questions. However many relatives felt that conversations were rushed. DNACPR discussions can have a lasting impact—relatives reported them to be significant moments in care journeys. Many relatives perceived that they were asked to decide whether their relative should receive CPR and described enduring emotional consequences, including guilt.

Conclusion
the pandemic has illuminated deficiencies in current practice around DNACPR discussion, which can have difficult to anticipate and lasting negative consequences for relatives. This research raises questions about the current approach to DNACPR decision-making.
Towards Accurate Smartphone Localization Using CSI Measurements
Authors: Yang Runze , Huang Baoqi , Xu Zhendong , Jia Bing , Xu Gang 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In comparison with capturing channel state information (CSI) measurements via a laptop or desktop, using a smartphone to collect CSI measurements incurs the restriction of working with a single access point and significant signal distortions, resulting in limited information for smartphone localization. Therefore, this paper intends to leverage as much available localization information as possible by ($1$) shifting the WiFi frequency from $2.4$ to $5$GHz; ($2$) calibrating the noisy CSI measurements and ($3$) fusing both amplitudes and phases of the CSI measurements, so as to enhance localization accuracy. Specifically, we first filter out distorted CSI measurements based on their distribution characteristics, then apply the advanced uniform manifold approximation and projection method to refine the mapping relations from a high-dimensional fingerprint space to a low-dimensional location space, and design a location fusion algorithm based on the continuous feature scaling model, which is able to distinguish two locations with similar fingerprints. Extensive experimental results show that the localization accuracy of the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art counterparts by at least $15.5$ and $18.7\%$ using two off-the-shelf smartphones.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Background and Aims
Crohn’s disease [CD] and intestinal tuberculosis [ITB] are often difficult to differentiate. Mesenteric fat hypertrophy is a feature of CD. We evaluated the utility of fat indices (visceral fat [VF] and subcutaneous fat [SF]) in differentiating CD and ITB in children.

Methods
Symptomatic children diagnosed to have CD or ITB based on recommended criteria were enrolled. Clinical, anthropometric, and laboratory details were noted. Abdominal fat was measured on computed tomography in supine position at the level of L4 vertebrae. VF and SF area was measured separately by a radiologist, blinded to the diagnosis. The sum of VF and SF was taken as total fat [TF]. VF/SF and VF/TF ratios were calculated.

Results
Thirty-four (age 14 years [10.8–17.0], 14 boys) children were recruited: 12 had CD [seven boys, age 13.0 years] and 22 had ITB [seven boys, age 14.5 years]. VF area was higher in CD compared to ITB (18.34 cm2 [15.62–40.01] vs 6.48 cm2 [2.65–21.96]; p = 0.012). The SF and TF area was similar in ITB and CD. The ratios of VF/SF (0.82 [0.57–1.5] vs 0.33 [0.16–0.48]; p = 0.004) and VF/TF (0.45 [0.36–0.60] vs 0.25 [0.13–0.32]; p = 0.004) were significantly higher in CD. On comparing CD and ITB in boys and girls separately, the difference was significant for boys but not for girls. A VF/SF ratio of 0.609 predicted CD with a good sensitivity [75%] and specificity [86.4%] [area under the curve 0.795, 95% confidence interval 0.636–0.955; p = 0.005].

Conclusion
The VF/SF ratio is a simple, non-invasive, objective parameter to differentiate CD and ITB in children, particularly boys. Larger studies are needed to validate this in girls.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Background
Varicella causes a major health burden in many low- to middle-income countries located in tropical regions. Because of the lack of surveillance data, however, the epidemiology of varicella in these regions remains uncharacterized. In this study, based on an extensive dataset of weekly varicella incidence in children ≤10 during 2011–2014 in 25 municipalities, we aimed to delineate the seasonality of varicella across the diverse tropical climates of Colombia.

Methods
We used generalized additive models to estimate varicella seasonality, and we used clustering and matrix correlation methods to assess its correlation with climate. Furthermore, we developed a mathematical model to examine whether including the effect of climate on varicella transmission could reproduce the observed spatiotemporal patterns.

Results
Varicella seasonality was markedly bimodal, with latitudinal changes in the peaks' timing and amplitude. This spatial gradient strongly correlated with specific humidity (Mantel statistic = 0.412, P = .001) but not temperature (Mantel statistic = 0.077, P = .225). The mathematical model reproduced the observed patterns not only in Colombia but also México, and it predicted a latitudinal gradient in Central America.

Conclusions
These results demonstrate large variability in varicella seasonality across Colombia and suggest that spatiotemporal humidity fluctuations can explain the calendar of varicella epidemics in Colombia, México, and potentially in Central America.
Characterizing subgroup performance of probabilistic phenotype algorithms within older adults: a case study for dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases

Published: June 2023

AbstractObjectiveBiases within probabilistic electronic phenotyping algorithms are largely unexplored. In this work, we characterize differences in subgroup performance of phenotyping algorithms for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) in older adults.Materials and methodsWe created an experimental framework to characterize the performance of probabilistic phenotyping algorithms under different racial distributions allowing us to identify which algorithms may have differential performance, by how much, and under what conditions. We relied on rule-based phenotype definitions as reference to evaluate probabilistic phenotype algorithms created using the Automated PHenotype Routine for Observational Definition, Identification, Training and Evaluation framework.ResultsWe demonstrate that some algorithms have performance variations anywhere from 3% to 30% for different populations, even when not using race as an input variable. We show that while performance differences in subgroups are not present for all phenotypes, they do affect some phenotypes and groups more disproportionately than others.DiscussionOur analysis establishes the need for a robust evaluation framework for subgroup differences. The underlying patient populations for the algorithms showing subgroup performance differences have great variance between model features when compared with the phenotypes with little to no differences.ConclusionWe have created a framework to identify systematic differences in the performance of probabilistic phenotyping algorithms specifically in the context of ADRD as a use case. Differences in subgroup performance of probabilistic phenotyping algorithms are not widespread nor do they occur consistently. This highlights the great need for careful ongoing monitoring to evaluate, measure, and try to mitigate such differences.
Navigating the empty shell: the role of articulation work in platform structures
Authors: Huber Linda , Pierce Casey 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article explores platform workers’ strategies for producing sustainable, quality services within platform structures that simultaneously over- and under-determine their work. We present findings from interviews with U.S.-based mental health professionals (n = 48) working on teletherapy platforms. These therapists describe navigating both the presence of platformic controls and the absence of features supporting professional best practices and regulatory requirements. We describe this absence as the “empty shell” characteristic of platforms and argue that it is a central technique through which platforms create scale. Our findings detail the communicative strategies therapists employ to navigate the empty shell and provide quality care to their clients. These strategies can be seen as a form of “articulation work,” a concept drawn from the sociology of work. Attending to articulation work in an emerging platform labor context, such as teletherapy, contributes to our understanding of the politics of platforms.
Surveillance and the future of work: exploring employees’ attitudes toward monitoring in a post-COVID workplace
Authors: Vitak Jessica , Zimmer Michael 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The future of work increasingly focuses on the collection and analysis of worker data to monitor communication, ensure productivity, reduce security threats, and assist in decision-making. The COVID-19 pandemic increased employer reliance on these technologies; however, the blurring of home and work boundaries meant these monitoring tools might also surveil private spaces. To explore workers’ attitudes toward increased monitoring practices, we present findings from a factorial vignette survey of 645 U.S. adults who worked from home during the early months of the pandemic. Using the theory of privacy as contextual integrity to guide the survey design and analysis, we unpack the types of workplace surveillance practices that violate privacy norms and consider attitudinal differences between male and female workers. Our findings highlight that the acceptability of workplace surveillance practices is highly contextual, and that reductions in privacy and autonomy at work may further exacerbate power imbalances, especially for vulnerable employees.
Information sharing in a hybrid workplace: understanding the role of ease-of-use perceptions of communication technologies in advice-seeking relationship maintenance
Authors: Wu Y Jasmine , Antone Brennan , DeChurch Leslie , Contractor Noshir 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Shifts to hybrid work prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic have the potential to substantially impact social relationships at work. Hybrid employees rely heavily on digital collaboration technologies to communicate and share information. Therefore, employees’ perceptions of the technologies are critical in shaping organizational networks. However, the dyadic-level misalignment in these perceptions may lead to relationship dissolution. To explore the social network consequences of hybrid work, we conducted a two-wave survey in a department of an industrial manufacturing firm (N = 169). Our results show that advice seekers were less likely to maintain their advice-seeking ties when they had a mismatch in ease-of-use perceptions of technology with their advisors. The effect was more substantial when advice seekers spent more time working remotely. The study provides empirical insights into how congruence in employees’ perceptions of organizational communication technologies affects how they maintain advice networks during hybrid work.
Speech production under uncertainty: how do job applicants experience and communicate with an AI interviewer?
Authors: Liu Bingjie , Wei Lewen , Wu Mu , Luo Tianyi 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Theories and research in human–machine communication (HMC) suggest that machines, when replacing humans as communication partners, change the processes and outcomes of communication. With artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly used to interview and evaluate job applicants, employers should consider the effects of AI on applicants’ psychology and performance during AI-based interviews. This study examined job applicants’ experience and speech fluency when evaluated by AI. In a three-condition between-subjects experiment (N = 134), college students had an online mock job interview under the impression that their performance would be evaluated by a human recruiter, an AI system, or an AI system with a humanlike interface. Participants reported higher uncertainty and lower social presence and had a higher articulation rate in the AI-evaluation condition than in the human-evaluation condition. Through lowering social presence, AI evaluation increased speech rate and reduced silent pauses. Findings inform theories of HMC and practices of automated recruitment and professional training.
