Published: August 2023

ObjectivesJeju Gotjawal Provincial Park provides visitors with opportunities for outdoor recreation and informs visitors of the environmental significance of the park’s ecosystem. This study attempted to examine how the perceived restorativeness of park visitors influenced their place attachment. In addition, the moderating effect of environmental sensitivity on the hypothesized relationship was explored.MethodsUsing the purposive sampling method, 408 surveys were collected at Jeju Gotjawal Provincial Park. The hypotheses were tested by confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, and invariance tests using Lisrel 8.70.ResultsThe results indicated that perceived restorativeness had a positive influence on place attachment (place identity and place dependence). Further, the hypothesized relationship was stronger for the visitors with higher environmental sensitivity, compared to those with weaker environmental sensitivity.ConclusionPark managers should consider ways to increase the perceived restorativeness of visitors as they experience the natural environment at the park. Also, since environmental sensitivity played an important role in shaping the perceived restorativeness–place attachment relationship, there is a need for educational programs that can inform visitors of the significance of the natural environment to increase their affection for nature.

Published: August 2023

BackgroundPharmacogenetic analyses can predict interpersonal differences in response to psychopharmacotherapy, which greatly facilitates the selection of the most effective medication at optimal doses. By personalizing therapy in this way, we can minimize adverse drug reactions (ADR) and prevent polypharmacy. Most psychotropic medications are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYPA3A4, which influence drug metabolism and concentration, affecting both efficacy and the occurrence of ADR. The relationships between genetic variations and enzymatic activity allow pharmacogenetic analysis to provide important data for optimal drug selection. The following case report illustrates the impact of pharmacogenetic analysis on the course of pharmacologic treatment in an elderly patient with a major depressive episode.MethodsWe present a case of a 79-year-old patient treated for severe depression with psychotic symptoms. We collected data on treatment selection and response to treatment before and after pharmacogenetic analysis. For pharmacogenetic analysis, common functional variants in CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 were genotyped, and corresponding evidence-based treatment recommendations were prepared.ResultsThe patient suffered from lack of efficacy and serious ADR of several medications, resulting in worsening depression and treatment resistance over the course of several months of treatment. Pharmacogenetic analysis provided important insights into the patient’s pharmacokinetic phenotype and allowed us to personalize treatment and achieve remission of the depressive episode.ConclusionIn the case presented, we have shown how consideration of pharmacogenetic characteristics in an individual patient can improve treatment outcome and patient well-being. Knowledge of the patient’s pharmacogenetic characteristics helped us to personalize treatment, resulting in complete remission of psychopathology. Due to the complexity of psychiatric disorders, the efficacy of combinations of different medications, which are often required in individual patients, cannot be clearly explained. Therefore, it is of great importance to conduct further pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic studies to better assess gene-drug interactions in psychopharmacotherapy.
Ultrasonographic appearance of supraspinatus and biceps tendinopathy improves in dogs treated with low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy: a retrospective study
Authors: Kern Tari , Manfredi Jane , Tomlinson Julia 
Published: August 2023

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine whether dogs with shoulder tendinopathy diagnosed via musculoskeletal ultrasound would show improvement in imaging after treatment using piezoelectric shockwave therapy and rest.MethodsMedical records were reviewed for dogs diagnosed with biceps and/or supraspinatus tendinopathyviamusculoskeletal ultrasound, treated using piezowave shockwave, and re-imaged post-treatment. Data collected included patient signalment, duration and grade of lameness, prior rest, piezowave dose, and patient outcome, including a return to sport where applicable. Images were scored using an adapted ultrasound grading scale, in addition to obtaining cross-sectional area measurements. Statistics included Shapiro–Wilk tests (normality), Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank tests (pre- vs. post-treatment comparisons), and Spearman's correlation coefficients (lameness grade vs. ultrasound score) (significant atP&lt; 0.05).ResultsIn total, 26 of 30 dogs had pathology involving both the biceps and supraspinatus tendons in one limb, with 27 of 30 having tendon/s affected bilaterally. For both tendons, post-treatment cross-sectional area and ultrasound score were significantly lower than pre-treatment (P&lt; 0.001). Lameness decreased clinically (P&lt; 0.0001) following piezowave shockwave treatment regardless of the tendons involved, but the lameness score did not correlate with the ultrasound score for either tendon.ConclusionDogs with tendinopathy of the biceps brachii and supraspinatus showed significant improvement on follow-up musculoskeletal ultrasound and lameness evaluation after the treatment of their tendons using piezoelectric shockwave therapy with rest.Clinical significanceCanine biceps brachii and supraspinatus tendinopathy can cause variable lameness and ultrasonographic appearance, which improves after shockwave therapy and rest. The ultrasound scoring system and cross-sectional area assessment provide useful outcome measures for clinical cases.

Objectives: Access to vaccination for newly arrived migrants (NAMs) is a relevant concern that requires urgent attention in EU/EEA countries. This study aimed to develop a General Conceptual Framework (GCF) for understanding how to improve vaccination coverage for NAMs, by characterizing and critically analyzing system barriers and possible strategies to increase vaccination.Methods: A theoretical conceptualization of the GCF was hypothesized based on conceptual hubs in the immunization process. Barriers and solutions were identified through a non-systematic desktop literature review and qualitative research. The GCF guided the activities and facilitated the integration of results, thereby enriching the GCF with content.Results: The study explores the vaccination of NAMs and proposes strategies to overcome barriers in their vaccination process. It introduces a framework called GCF, which consists of five interconnected steps: entitlement, reachability, adherence, achievement, and evaluation of vaccination. The study also presents barriers and solutions identified through literature review and qualitative research, along with strategies to enhance professionals’ knowledge, improve reachability, promote adherence, achieve vaccination coverage, and evaluate interventions. The study concludes by recommending strategies such as proximity, provider training, a migrant-sensitive approach, and data collection to improve vaccination outcomes for NAMs.Conclusion: Ensuring equitable access to healthcare services, including vaccination, is crucial not only from a humanitarian perspective but also for the overall public health of these countries.

Published: August 2023

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals has the potential to provide significant benefits for the construction of future particle accelerators. The combination of low cost manufacturing of complex geometries in combination with efficiency gains from improved linac design enabled by AM may be one way towards future cost-effective green accelerator facilities. As a proof of concept, we present a high-efficiency Zeff=280 MΩ/m, 433.632 MHz IH-DTL cavity based on an AM design. In this case, the complex internal drift tube structures with internal cooling channels have been produced from 1.4404 stainless steel and from pure copper using AM. The prototype cavity, as well as stainless steel AM parts have been electroplated with copper. We present results from successful vacuum tests, low level RF measurements of the cavity, as well as the status of preparations for high-power RF tests with a 30 kW pulsed power amplifier.
Simulation of Lead-Free Heterojunction CsGeI2Br/CsGeI3-Based Perovskite Solar Cell Using SCAPS-1D

Published: August 2023

This paper presents the simulation of the novel prototype of a heterojunction perovskite solar cell (PSC) based on CSGeI2Br/CSGeI3. The device consists of two absorber layers (CSGeI2Br, CSGeI3), an electron transport layer (ETL) chosen as TiO2 and a hole transport layer (HTL) given as poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Within the simulation, the effects of thickness, doping and defect density in each absorber layer and different back contact metal electrodes on electrical parameters (efficiency, short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and fill factor) are evaluated. In addition, the contribution of the HTL (doping density and thickness), temperature, shunt and series resistance were also checked on the same electrical parameters. The simulations are conducted in standard test conditions with the irradiation normalized as 0.1 W/cm2 using the SCAPS-1D platform. The maximum efficiency obtained within the simulation of this device was about 31.86%. For this device, the thickness of the CSGeI3 layer should be around 900 nm, while that of the CsGeI2Br should be around 100 nm to facilitate optimal absorption of the incident photons. The doping density in the absorber layer is such that in CsGeI3 should be around 1018 cm−3 and around 1016 cm−3 in the CsGeI2Brlayer. The defects densities in both layers of the perovskite materials should be around 1014 cm−3. Concerning the HTL, the thickness and the doping density of the P3HT should be around 50 nm and 1018 cm−3, respectively. In terms of the back contact electrode, the work function of the metal should be at least equal to 5 eV, corresponding to gold (Au) metal. The series resistance due to the connection of the cell to the external load should be very small, while the shunt resistance due to the leakage current in the solar cell should be high. Furthermore, the operating temperature of the new PSC should be maintained at an ambient level of around 25 °C in order to deliver high efficiency.
Effects of Coupling Constants on Chaos of Charged Particles in the Einstein–Æther Theory
Authors: Liu Caiyu , Wu Xin 
Published: August 2023

There are two free coupling parameters c13 and c14 in the Einstein–Æther metric describing a non-rotating black hole. This metric is the Reissner–Nordström black hole solution when 0≤2c13<c14<2, but it is not for 0≤c14<2c13<2. When the black hole is immersed in an external asymptotically uniform magnetic field, the Hamiltonian system describing the motion of charged particles around the black hole is not integrable; however, the Hamiltonian allows for the construction of explicit symplectic integrators. The proposed fourth-order explicit symplectic scheme is used to investigate the dynamics of charged particles because it exhibits excellent long-term performance in conserving the Hamiltonian. No universal rule can be given to the dependence of regular and chaotic dynamics on varying one or two parameters c13 and c14 in the two cases of 0≤2c13<c14<2 and 0≤c14<2c13<2. The distributions of order and chaos in the binary parameter space (c13,c14) rely on different combinations of the other parameters and the initial conditions.
THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF NATIVE CHICKEN FARMING (NON-BREED) ON FAMILY INCOME (Study in Sojomerto Village, Reban District, Batang Regency)
Authors: Prabowo Rokh Eddy , Sutejo Bambang , Murdiyanto Agus 
Published: August 2023

In rural areas, there are fewer and fewer native chicken (non-breed or free-range) businesses run by household units. In other words, even though other households no longer raise free-range chickens, there are still households that do. When they have free-range chickens, they have the potential to earn more money than many other households. Furthermore, according to febroni (kompas.com), the native chicken livestock business has become one of the most promising in recent years. Year after year, the demand for chicken meat grows because there are more and more restaurants and street stalls selling native chicken menus. This statement is backed up by https://bukukas.co.id, which claims that "native chickens have their own market segment that is growing.". This phenomenon is worth researching in order to gain scientific knowledge about various aspects, especially the economic aspects of their income and social analysis in social life.
According to the findings of this study, internal strategic factors affecting the livestock business of native chickens (non-breed) include population, health, feed availability, and capital. Furthermore, it has a positive impact on family income that the business of raising native (non-breed) chickens has, namely as a source of income for the surrounding population and as a producer of animal protein for the community, as well as additional income for the family
Recombinant Factor VIIa for The Management of Uncontrollable Bleeding Following The Repair of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection
Authors: Elnaggar Ahmed , Khallaf Ahmed , Adas Ahmed 
Published: August 2023

Background: Bleeding is a serious complication after surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection. Recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) could be used for the management of severe bleeding; however, it could lead to thromboembolic events. We aimed to report our experience in using rFVIIa in the management of severe bleeding following the surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study, including patients who had surgery for acute aortic dissection type A and received rFVIIa, in the period between January 2012 and January 2019. We reported the amount of bleeding 4 hours before and after the administration of rFVIIa, the number of blood products transfused before and after the use of rFVIIa, thrombosis of the central venous line, as well as the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Results: There were ten patients (2 females and 8 males) out of 120 patients with acute type A aortic dissection, who required the use of rFVIIa for severe postoperative bleeding. The mean age was 67.7±10.5 years. The amount of drainage decreased from 889±585.6 ml during the 4 hours prior to the infusion, to 165±73.5 ml during the following 4 hours (p<0.001). The patients received 2752±1362.9 ml, and 618±483.3 ml packed RBCs before and after rFVIIa administration, respectively (p< 0.001). The patients received 1601±693.4 and 246±419.6 ml of fresh frozen plasma before and after the use of rFVIIa, respectively (p< 0.001). The prothrombin time decreased after the infusion of rFVIIa (42.7±32 and 17.1±8 seconds, p= 0.001). There were no clinical signs of thromboembolism after its use. Mortality occurred in five patients (50%).
Conclusion: In the life-threatening situation of uncontrollable bleeding following surgical repair of type A acute aortic dissection, rFVIIa may have benefits to control bleeding. Furthers studies are recommended.
Inference engine driven by situation-based correlation
Authors: Bedare Ishita 
Published: August 2023

<p>Drawing an intelligible inference is a challenging aspect of correlation studies in data mining. Regression analysis and inferences drawn based on correlation of system state play important role in decision making. However, traditional regression algorithms operate on data in an opaque manner thereby shielding end user from knowing the reasoning behind the inference drawn. Such techniques also fail to learn from repetitive historical conditions occurring in the system over a longer time-span. In this paper, we propose a situation-based correlation technique which can be used to not only predict system behavior but also to convey reasoning behind the prediction. “Situation” can be defined as a more inclusive version of the system state, which encompasses variables, parameters, rules, and relationships that describe the behavior of the system over the span of finite time interval. The proposed algorithm identifies similar situations in high dimensional time-series records and produces interpretable digital record of matching situations. We then deploy the proposed situation-based correlation algorithm as core of inference engine to successfully demonstrate fully functional expert system. </p>

This study investigates Iraqi EFL university learners’ use of the speech act of agreement at the pragmatic level. Additionally, the present study analyzes the productive level of the learners’ use of agreement.The study basically aims at analysing the speech act of agreement at the pragmatic level. It also aims at investigating the most common strategies used by Iraqi EFL learners to issue communicative acts of agreement at the productive level.The study hypothesizes that (1) the students’ performance of the direct strategies for showing agreement is better than the indirect onesat the productive level, and (2) the students’ performance of the explicit performative strategies for showing agreement is better than the implicit ones. To achieve the aims of the study and verify or refute its hypotheses, a sample of twenty Iraqi EFL learners from fourth year-stage in the Department of English Language, College of Education, University of Al-Qadisiya during the academic year (2014-2015) is randomly chosen to answer a questionnaire which consists of twenty different interactional situations requiring from the subjects to respond with agreement.
The study verifies the hypotheses and yields that (1) a percentage of (92%) goes to the direct strategies for showing agreement ,whereas (8%) goes to the indirect ones, (2) a percentage of (67%) goes to the learners’ use of explicit performatives for showing agreement ,whereas only (33%) goes to the learners’ use of the implicit ones. So, the study concludes the poor use of indirect strategies and implicit performativesfor showing agreement compared to the direct strategies and the explicit performatives by the Iraqi EFL learners.

This study aims to analyze the effect of exports and imports before and after the COVID-19 Pandemic. The decline in export-import activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic has hurt Indonesia, where exports in 2020 compared to 2019 have decreased by 2.68 percent. In addition there are war between Rusia and Ukraine which gives effect to our Intrenational trade. This research was conducted using a quantitative method with export, import and economic growth variables in Indonesia from 2018 to 2020 by using data panel regression methods. Data was obtained from various sources in the form of journals and books along with publication data from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. The results of the study show economic growth affected by exports and import by 76.25%. Exports have a negative and significant effect on economic growth. Meanwhile, imports have a positive and significant effect on economic growth. Exports and imports of goods and services during the pandemic era had a major impact on the Indonesia economy, proven by the 2.07% decline in gross domestic product in 2020. War Russia and Ukraine did not have a big impact because it benefited Indonesia in terms of oil exports to international markets, but the quality of goods and services needed to be improved in order to compete in international markets. And imports need to be controlled so that the balance of trade is not disrupted and the production of goods and services in Indonesia is still fulfilled.
