Production scheduling of prefabricated components considering delivery methods
Authors: Wang Shuqiang , Zhang Xi 
Published: September 2023

AbstractTo address the processing scheduling problem involving multiple molds, components, and floors, we propose the Genetic Grey Wolf Optimizer (GGA) as a means to optimize the production scheduling of components in a production line. This approach combines the Grey Wolf algorithm with the genetic algorithm. Previous methods have overlooked the storage requirements arising from the delivery characteristics of prefabricated components, often resulting in unnecessary storage costs. Intelligent algorithms have been demonstrated to be effective in production scheduling, and thus, to enhance the efficiency of prefabricated component production scheduling, our study presents a model incorporating a production objective function. This model takes into account production resources and delivery characteristics constraints. Subsequently, we develop a hybrid algorithm, combining the grey wolf algorithm with the genetic algorithm, to search for the optimal solution with a minimal storage cost. We validate the model using a case study, and the experimental results demonstrate that GAGWO successfully identifies the best precast production schedule. Furthermore, the precast production plan, considering the delivery method, is found to be reasonable.

AbstractHealth equity is a primary goal of healthcare stakeholders: patients and their advocacy groups, clinicians, other providers and their professional societies, bioethicists, payors and value based care organizations, regulatory agencies, legislators, and creators of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)-enabled medical devices. Lack of equitable access to diagnosis and treatment may be improved through new digital health technologies, especially AI/ML, but these may also exacerbate disparities, depending on how bias is addressed. We propose an expanded Total Product Lifecycle (TPLC) framework for healthcare AI/ML, describing the sources and impacts of undesirable bias in AI/ML systems in each phase, how these can be analyzed using appropriate metrics, and how they can be potentially mitigated. The goal of these “Considerations” is to educate stakeholders on how potential AI/ML bias may impact healthcare outcomes and how to identify and mitigate inequities; to initiate a discussion between stakeholders on these issues, in order to ensure health equity along the expanded AI/ML TPLC framework, and ultimately, better health outcomes for all.
Spinal cord injury dysregulates fibro-adipogenic progenitors miRNAs signaling to promote neurogenic heterotopic ossifications

Published: September 2023

AbstractNeurogenic heterotopic ossifications are intramuscular bone formations developing following central nervous system injury. The pathophysiology is poorly understood and current treatments for this debilitating condition remain unsatisfying. Here we explored the role of miRNAs in a clinically relevant mouse model that combines muscle and spinal cord injury, and in patients’ cells. We found an osteo-suppressive miRNAs response in injured muscle that was hindered when the spinal cord injury was associated. In isolated fibro-adipogenic progenitors from damaged muscle (cells at the origin of ossification), spinal cord injury induced a downregulation of osteo-suppressive miRNAs while osteogenic markers were overexpressed. The overexpression of selected miRNAs in patient’s fibro-adipogenic progenitors inhibited mineralization and osteo-chondrogenic markers in vitro. Altogether, we highlighted an osteo-suppressive mechanism involving multiple miRNAs in response to muscle injury that prevents osteogenic commitment which is ablated by the neurologic lesion in heterotopic ossification pathogenesis. This provides new research hypotheses for preventive treatments.

Word Repetition Paired With Startling Stimuli Decreases Aphasia and Apraxia Severity in Severe-to-Moderate Stroke: A Stratified, Single-Blind, Randomized, Phase 1 Clinical Trial
Authors: Swann Zoe , Tesman Nathan , Rogalsky Corianne , Honeycutt Claire F. 
Published: September 2023

Purpose:This prospective, single-blinded, parallel, stratified, randomized clinical trial via telehealth aimed to investigate the impact of Startle Adjuvant Rehabilitation Therapy (START) on aphasia, apraxia of speech (AOS), and quality of life in individuals with chronic stroke. The study hypothesized that START would have a greater effect on AOS-related measures and more severe individuals.Method:Forty-two participants with poststroke aphasia, AOS, or both were randomly assigned to the START or control group. Both groups received 77-dB GET READY and GO cues during a word repetition task for three 1-hr sessions on consecutive days. The START group additionally received 105-dB white noise GO cues during one third of trials. The Western Aphasia Battery–Revised, Apraxia Battery for Adults, Stroke Impact Scale, and Communication Outcomes After Stroke scale were administered at Day 1, Day 5, and 1-month follow-up.Results:START improved performance on some subtests of the Western Aphasia Battery (Comprehension, Repetition, Reading) and measures of AOS (Diadochokinetic Rate, Increasing Word Length) in individuals with moderate/severe aphasia, whereas moderate/severe controls saw no changes. Individuals with mild aphasia receiving START had improved Reading, whereas mild controls saw improved Comprehension. The START group had increased mood and perceived communication recovery by Day 5, whereas controls saw no changes in quality of life.Conclusions:This study is the first to evaluate the impact of training with startling acoustic stimuli on clinical measures of aphasia and AOS. Our findings suggest START can enhance both nontrained speech production and receptive speech tasks in moderate/severe aphasia, possibly by reducing poststroke cortical inhibition. Our findings should be considered carefully, as our limitations include small effect sizes, within-group variability, and low completion rates for quality-of-life assessments and follow-up visits. Future studies should explore a mechanism of action, conduct larger and longer Phase 2 clinical trials, and evaluate long-term retention.Supplemental Material:https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24093519
Three dimensional cooperative guidance for intercepting a manoeuvering target
Authors: Yu Chang , Zhu Bing , Zheng Jianying , Wang Wei 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this paper, an optimal distributed guidance law is proposed for cooperatively intercepting a manoeuvering target in three dimensional (3D) framework. Based on the 3D kinematic model of interceptors and the target, the kinematic engagement equations in line‐of‐sight (LOS) coordinate can be obtained. Along the LOS direction, a finite‐time consensus based on directed communication topology is applied to guarantee arrival‐time coordination of multiple interceptors, and sliding mode control is adopted to compensate target manoeuver. In the plane perpendicular to LOS, optimal control is used to design guidance law such that closed‐loop LOS angular rates converge to a tunable small neighbourhood of zero. The proposed cooperative guidance law is proved in theory, and its effectiveness is verified by simulations.
A novel superimposed voltage energy‐based approach for single phase to ground fault detection and location in distribution networks

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe structure complexity and the extended geographical area are among the factors that create challenges in accurate fault location and detection in distribution networks. The single‐phase to ground (SPG) faults are considered as most frequent reasons for distribution network interruption, which can threaten the network's reliability. Signal processing methods are usually used as common approaches to distinguish and locate faults in distribution networks. This paper proposes a novel scenario to select optimal wavelet packet transform (WPT) coefficients for SPG fault location and a method based on superimposed voltage energy to distinguish the faulty phase according to these coefficients. Furthermore, employing the energies of the superimposed voltages helps to minimize the effects of high resistance faults (HRFs) and load encroachment on the efficiency of the faulty phase detection part. Comparing the obtained results with other scenarios demonstrates the considerable efficiency of the proposed scenario. Finally, with the help of general regression neural networks (GRNN) as machine‐learning tools, a new algorithm is derived for detecting and locating the SPG fault and capacitor bank switching overvoltage (COV). Simulation results are implemented on the IEEE 34‐bus standard distribution network, demonstrating the efficiency and superiority of the suggested method.

Published: September 2023

AbstractA kind of all‐dielectric circularly polarised (CP) loop antenna made of high‐permittivity material is proposed. The leaky‐wave radiation from a high‐permittivity dielectric waveguide is utilised here to support the operation of the proposed antenna. A non‐closed dielectric loop covering a three‐quarter circle is adopted to generate CP radiation and it is connected with the dielectric ground via one of bending ends to form an all‐in‐one structure of the antenna. The other end is also bent and vertical to the ground, but hanging in the air for probe feed. As two kinds of typical high‐permittivity dielectric materials, zirconia ceramic and pure water are used to implement the proposed design respectively. On one hand, an all‐ceramic CP loop antenna made of zirconia is proposed. And benefiting from the low loss and high melting point of zirconia, the proposed ceramic antenna has superiority in radiation efficiency and could adapt to a harsh environment. On the other hand, by using pure water and transparent container, a fully‐transparent CP water loop antenna can be obtained. Finally, a 3‐D printing technology is adopted in the manufacturing of ceramic structure and resin container. Measured results of both antennas demonstrate the validity of the proposed design.
4D radar simulator for human activity recognition
Authors: Zhou Junyu , Le Kernec Julien 
Published: September 2023

AbstractMillimetre‐wave radar has been widely used in health monitoring and human activity recognition owing to its improved range resolution and operation in a variety of environmental conditions. With the MIMO antenna array, 4D radar is increasingly employed in autonomous driving, while its application in assisted living is recent and therefore the value added compared to the increase in signal processing and hardware requirements is still an open question. A model for 4D Time‐division multiplexing (TDM) multiple‐input‐multiple‐output (MIMO) frequency‐modulated Continuous wave radar is established using the human activities from the HDM05 motion capture dataset. The simulator produces an end‐to‐end simulation, including four human motions (jumping Jack, kick, punch, and walk), signal time of flight, noise, MIMO signal processing, and classification. Different pre‐processing and point cloud‐based methods are compared to obtain an average classification accuracy of 90% with PointNet. This study simulates a specific 4D TDM MIMO radar configuration to benchmark signal pre‐processing algorithms, which can also assist other researchers to generate range‐Doppler‐time (range‐Doppler time) point cloud data sets for human activities testing different radar configurations, array configurations, and activities saving valuable time in human resources and hardware development before prototyping to assess expected performances.
Sexualerziehung in der stationären Erziehungshilfe – ist die Kritik der letzten 15 Jahre gerechtfertigt?
Authors: Mantey Dominik , Bövers Steffi 
Published: September 2023

ZusammenfassungLangjährig wurde die Sexualerziehung in der stationären Erziehungshilfe als passiv und „nicht vorhanden“ problematisiert. Ausgangspunkt dieser Kritik waren einerseits eine Pilotstudie von Reinhard Winter und andererseits ein Verständnis von (guter) Sexualerziehung als aktive Angebotsstruktur auf der Basis von ablesbaren Konzepten. Der vorliegende Beitrag nimmt beide Aspekte kritisch in den Blick. Die Aussagekraft der Pilotstudie wird analysiert und auf Basis des Erziehungsverständnisses von Michael Winkler ein alternatives Verständnis von Sexualerziehung skizziert, das auch eine scheinbar passive Sexualerziehung als qualifiziert gelten lässt, bei der die Erziehenden die Aneignungsprozesse der Kinder und Jugendlichen beachten. Ergänzend werden Daten einer empirischen Masterarbeit herangezogen, die darauf hindeuten, dass Erziehende in der stationären Erziehungshilfe die sexualitätsbezogenen Aneignungsprozesse der Kinder und Jugendlichen im Blick haben. Auf dieser Basis kommt der Beitrag zu dem Schluss, dass die langjährige Kritik möglicherweise nicht gerechtfertigt ist und weitere empirische Daten notwendig sind.
Atherektomie mit einem neuen System, das noch mehr kann

Published: September 2023

ZusammenfassungDie kathetergestützte Atherektomie wird hinsichtlich ihrer Indikation seit Jahren kontrovers diskutiert. Neuere Studiendaten zeigen, dass multifunktionelle Atherektomiesysteme mit
geringem Materialaufwand auch für komplexe Läsionen eine Alternative zum Bypass darstellen können, obwohl der direkte Vergleich noch fehlt.Die Ergebnisse der ByCross-Zulassungsstudie wurden mit den technischen und klinischen Daten anderer Atherektomiesysteme in Bezug auf die Indikationsbreite, die herstellerseitigen
Limitierungen, die technische Erfolgs- und Komplikationsrate und die jeweiligen Instruktionen für den Einsatz verglichen. Dabei war in allen rezenten Studien eine Residualstenose von ≤ 50%
nach Atherektomie und ≤ 30% in der abschließenden Gefäßdarstellung als ein primärer Endpunkt und als Beweis des technischen Erfolges angegeben.Für die ByCross-Studie wurden deutlich komplexere, langstreckig schwer verkalkte Gefäßläsionen eingeschlossen als für andere Zulassungsstudien. Dies betrifft nicht nur die Läsionslänge
(124,7 mm vs. 34 mm in der EASE-Studie oder 67,2 mm in der VISION-Studie) und den Stenosegrad (99,4% vs. 88,5% in der EASE- und 78,7% in der VISION-Studie). Auch der Kalzifizierungsgrad,
der anhand des Peripheral Artery Calcification Severity Score (PACSS) definiert wurde, war höher als in anderen Studien. Dennoch lag die technische Erfolgsrate, wie vorgegeben, über 95%.
Während das ByCross ohne vorherige Drahtpassage als Crossingsystem eingesetzt werden kann (26,82% der Fälle), ist die primäre intraluminale Passage des Drahtes für alle weiteren Systeme
vorgeschrieben. Das ByCross hat einen größenvariablen Kopf, der einen Lumengewinn von 4,7 mm erlaubt, ohne dass Systeme ausgetauscht werden oder aufgrund von Laufzeitlimitierungen
pausieren müssen. Das ByCross war das einzige System im Vergleich mit 0% Embolierate, was auf das Wirkprinzip und die hohe Aspirationskraft des Systems zurückführbar ist. Gefäßverletzungen
traten ebenso nicht auf. Die 6-Monats-Ergebnisse zeigen den Langzeiterfolg des Verfahrens mit 0% Revaskularisationsrate.Atherektomiesysteme der neuesten Generation stellen eine sichere und effektive Erweiterung des endovaskulären Portfolios dar. Das ByCross-System hebt sich durch die breitere Zulassung und
die Multifunktionalität als investmentfreie Atherektomie-, Thrombektomie- und Crossingdevice für iliakale wie femorodistale Gefäßläsionen deutlich von den anderen Systemen ab und kann in
komplexen Verschlussmorphologien als Alternative zum Bypass gesehen werden.
Serendipitous Synthesis of 5-Hydroxyuridine from 2′,3′-O-Isopropylidene N4-Acetylcytidine by Hypervalent Iodine(III)-Mediated Reaction

Published: September 2023

AbstractWhereas BAIB-TEMPO oxidation of 2′,3′-O-TBDMS-N4-acetylcytidine results in the expected 5′-carboxylic acid nucleoside, its 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene analogue reacts in a radically different way. We have demonstrated here that hypervalent iodine(III) in water triggers an unprecedented oxidative cyclization leading to a mixture of C5-substituted O6,5′-cyclo-5,6-dihydrouridines. This mixture of cyclouridines can be opened under basic conditions and, after deprotection, yields 5-hydroxyuridine, an important post-transcriptional modification of uridine at the wobble position (U34) of bacterial tRNA. NMR experimental values and calculations were performed to provide further insight on the specific reactivity of 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene N4-acetylcytidine.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis after 2 Months from Starting Growth Hormone Therapy
Authors: Abdullah Wasnaa Hadi , Alsaffar Hussain 
Published: September 2023

AbstractRecombinant growth hormone (GH) is a widely used hormonal therapy for children and adolescents with GH deficiency or short stature related to certain conditions. Generally, GH therapy has a good safety profile; however, it could have rare but significant orthopaedic complications including slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Pediatric endocrinologists are aware of these possible complications, and they are responsible for appropriately counseling their patients before commencing this hormone. However, the pediatric endocrinologist may not be the first clinician who encounters the orthopaedic complications of GH, as the patient may seek an emergency medical opinion from people from other specialties. Here, we report the case of a 13-year-old Iraqi adolescent boy who presented with limping that appeared only 2 months after receiving GH (0.035 mg/kg/d). He was diagnosed with SCFE in a relatively very short time after commencement of the treatment. Despite this, the patient was not considered to be at high risk of SCFE. A careful evaluation of SCFE in patients complaining of a limp or hip and knee pain during GH therapy is highly recommended.

Abstract
Aim: Burnout and stress-related health disorders are on the rise among physicians. The aim of this study is to report the results of a survey on factors affecting the work–life balance of interventional radiologists (IR).
Material: The survey consisted of 30 questions focusing on work, family, and personal health. The questionnaire addressed knowledge, attitude, and practice. This online survey was sent to IRs across the globe and the responses were analyzed by three IRs (SH, SNK, SK).
Results: On univariate analysis, the major risk factors for burnout were presence of weekend duties (n = 91, 98.9%, p = 0.02), absence of support group at workplace (n = 36, 39.1%, p = 0.005), having tough time with administration (n = 61, 66.3%, p = 0.001), not able to spend quality time on family (n = 30, 32.6%, p = 0.035), and inability to find time to do things that one enjoys (n = 53, 57.6%, p = 0.0002). However, multivariate analysis revealed that those having tough time with administration (odds ratio = 2.77 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12–6.48], p = 0.02) and those who could not find time to do things one enjoys (odds ratio = 4.79 [95% CI: 1.42–16.1], p = 0.01) were only statistically significant.
Conclusion: Burnout is common among IRs and is considered a significant issue that needs to be addressed. Teamwork, a support structure for major events, healthy lifestyle, and dedicated time for family may combat the burnout.

Published: September 2023

AbstractTechnology has helped consumers embrace new ways of shopping. This article aims to explore how retailers capitalise on technology to create a differentiated customer experience (CX). The study provides a list of 15 shopper-facing technologies that retailers assess when aiming to improve CX and develops a framework to classify them. To do so, an exploratory study is conducted based on a qualitative enquiry and a survey of 201 retail experts. Data are analysed using content, descriptive, and correspondence analyses. The results spell out three groups of technological solutions that retailers should consider when aiming to create an enhanced CX: (1) technologies that contribute to improving experiential aspects of the shopping experience, (2) technologies that reduce friction throughout the customer journey and (2) technologies that enhance transparency and brand trust. The findings of this study offer key insights to retail companies who face the challenge of investing in technological advancements that deliver superior value to customers while supporting their firm’s long-term economic goals.
