Stable finiteness of twisted group rings and noisy linear cellular automata
Authors: Phung Xuan Kien 
Published: May 2023

AbstractFor linear nonuniform cellular automata (NUCA) which are local perturbations of linear CA over a group universe G and a finite-dimensional vector space alphabet V over an arbitrary field k, we investigate their Dedekind finiteness property, also known as the direct finiteness property, i.e., left or right invertibility implies invertibility. We say that the group G is
$L^1$
-surjunctive, resp. finitely
$L^1$
-surjunctive, if all such linear NUCA are automatically surjective whenever they are stably injective, resp. when in addition k is finite. In parallel, we introduce the ring
$D^1(k[G])$
which is the Cartesian product
$k[G] \times (k[G])[G]$
as an additive group but the multiplication is twisted in the second component. The ring
$D^1(k[G])$
contains naturally the group ring
$k[G]$
and we obtain a dynamical characterization of its stable finiteness for every field k in terms of the finite
$L^1$
-surjunctivity of the group G, which holds, for example, when G is residually finite or initially subamenable. Our results extend known results in the case of CA.

ABSTRACT.
Detection of worm antigen in urine is a sensitive diagnostic method for opisthorchiasis, particularly for light-intensity infections; however, the presence of eggs in feces is essential for validating results from the antigen assay. To address the issue of low sensitivity of fecal examination, we modified the protocol for the formalin-ethyl acetate concentration technique (FECT) and compared it against urine antigen measurements for detection of the parasite Opisthorchis viverrini. First, we optimized the FECT protocol by increasing the number of drops for examinations from the standard two drops to a maximum of eight. We were able to detect additional cases after examination of ≥ 3 drops, and the prevalence of O. viverrini saturated after examination of ≥ 5 drops. We then compared the optimized FECT protocol (examining five drops of suspension) against urine antigen detection for the diagnosis of opisthorchiasis in field-collected samples. The optimized FECT protocol detected O. viverrini eggs in 25 of 82 individuals (30.5%) who had positive urine antigen tests but were fecal egg negative by the standard FECT protocol. The optimized protocol also retrieved O. viverrini eggs in 2 of 80 antigen-negative cases (2.5%). In comparison with the composite reference standard (combined FECT and urine antigen detection), the diagnostic sensitivity of examining two and five drops of FECT and the urine assay was 58.2, 67, and 98.8%, respectively. Our results show that multiple examinations of fecal sediment increase the diagnostic sensitivity of FECT and thus provide further support for the reliability and utility of the antigen assay for diagnosis and screening of opisthorchiasis.
Ben Ammi Ben Israel

This text introduces Ben Ammi, the leader and theologian of the African Hebrew Israelite community, as a systematic thinker and theologian. It examines his many books and speeches in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to his thought in the context of both African American and Jewish contemporaries and precursors.
Divided into three thematic sections, History, Law, and Language, the text introduces Ben Ammi’s understanding of the nature of God, the responsibilities of the human, and the narrative of history. Ben Ammi was a deeply spiritual but also remarkably modern thinker who blended scientific thought into his evolving socio-theology, while seeking to remove religion from the realm of mythology. The book evaluates how Ben Ammi’s theology is one bound to concepts of humility and learning how to go with the grain of the natural world in order to find humanity’s true center as a part of nature.

Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND Postpartum hemorrhage is a very important cause of maternal mortality worldwide. According to WHO, 20 million of morbidities and 33 % of maternal mortality can be attributed to PPH worldwide. WHO states that misoprostol can also be used to prevent PPH, due to its beneficial effects in low income settings.
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of sublingual misoprostol in reducing blood loss with that of methyl ergotamine in first two hours after delivery.
METHODOLOGY It was a randomized controlled, single center, double blind trial of sublingual misoprostol versus intravenous methyl ergotamine for control of blood loss in 82 women with singleton pregnancies at term who underwent delivery at Sir Ganga Ram hospital. Participants were divided randomly into two groups (A and B). Randomization was done by Microsoft Excel 5.0 random number generator. The participants were given either misoprostol 600 micrograms sublingually immediately or injection methyl ergotamine 0.2 mg at time of delivery of anterior shoulder of baby. The outcome measures studied were blood loss, blood transfusions, drop in hemoglobin and side effects of both drugs.
RESULTS Mean age of women in Misoprostol group was 25.76±3.48years. Mean age of methyl ergotamine was 26.0 3.67 years Mean gestational age of women in Misoprostol group was 39.73±1.32 and mean gestational age of women in methyl ergotamine group was 40.09±1.22 weeks. Before delivery mean Hb level was statistically same in both group but post-delivery mean Hb level was significantly dropped in other group. I.e. p-value=0.000165.In Misoprostol group none had blood transfusion while in methyl ergotamine group 4(9.76%) women had blood transfusion but this difference was not statistically significant. Nausea, vomiting and hypertension were significantly higher in methyl ergotamine group. However for pyrexia and shivering an opposite trend was seen for Misoprostol when compared with methyl ergotamine.
CONCLUSION Results of this trial showed that sublingual misoprostol is more effective as compared to intravenous methyl ergotamine. It has many advantages including easy transport, storage and oral route which make it a good uterotonic agent in low-resource areas. It was also associated with lesser side effects

Abstract. The high concentration of fine particles and gaseous pollutants makes polluted areas, such as the urban setting of North China Plain (NCP) of China, a different environment for new particle formation (NPF) compared to many clean regions. Such conditions also hold for other polluted environments in this region (for instance, the rural area of NCP), yet the underlying mechanisms for NPF remain less understood, owing to the limited observations of particles in the sub−3 nm range. Comprehensive measurements, particularly covering the particle number size distribution down to 1.3 nm, were conducted at a rural background site of Gucheng (GC) in the North China Plain (NCP) from 12 November to 24 December 2018. In total, five NPF events during the 39 effective days of measurements for the campaign were identified, with the mean particle nucleation rate (J1.3) and growth rate (GR1.3–2.4) being 22.0 cm−3 s−1 and 3.9 nm h−1, respectively. During these 5 d, NPF concurrently occurred at an urban site in Beijing. Sharing similar sources and transport paths of air masses arriving at our site to that of urban Beijing, we hypothesize that NPF events during these days in this region might be a regional phenomenon. The simultaneous occurrence of NPF in both places implies that H2SO4-amine nucleation, concluded for urban Beijing there, could probably be the dominating mechanism for NPF at our rural site. The higher concentration of sulfuric acid during many non-event days compared to that of event days indicates that the content of sulfuric acid may not necessarily lead to NPF events under current atmosphere. Only when the condensation sink or coagulation sink was significantly lowered, atmospheric NPF occurred, implying that condensation sinks (CSs) and coagulation sinks (CoagSs) are the dominating factors controlling the occurrence of NPF for the present rural environment of the NCP, which is quite similar to the feature seen in urban Beijing.
The teleconnection of extreme El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events to the tropical North Atlantic in coupled climate models

Abstract. El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major source for teleconnections, including towards the tropical North Atlantic (TNA) region, whereby TNA sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are positively correlated with ENSO in boreal spring following an ENSO event. However, the Pacific–Atlantic connection can be impacted by different ENSO characteristics, such as the amplitude, location, and timing of Pacific SST anomalies (SSTAs). Indeed, the TNA SSTAs may respond nonlinearly to strong and extreme El Niño events. However, observational data for the number of extreme ENSO events remain limited, restricting our ability to investigate the influence of observed extreme ENSO events. To overcome this issue and to further evaluate the nonlinearity of the TNA SSTA response, two coupled climate models are used, namely the Community Earth System Model version 1 – Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (CESM-WACCM) and the Flexible Ocean and Climate Infrastructure version 1 (FOCI). In both models the TNA SSTAs respond linearly to ENSO during extreme El Niño events but nonlinearly to extreme La Niña events for CESM-WACCM. We investigate differences by using indices for all major mechanisms that connect ENSO to the TNA and compare them with reanalysis. CESM-WACCM and FOCI overall represent the teleconnection well, including that the tropical and extratropical pathways are similar to observations. Our results also show that a large portion of the nonlinearity during La Niña is explained by the interaction between Pacific SSTAs and the overlying upper-level divergence.
Investigating energy production and wake losses of multi-gigawatt offshore wind farms with atmospheric large-eddy simulation
Authors: Baas Peter , Verzijlbergh Remco , van Dorp Pim , Jonker Harm 
Published: May 2023

Abstract. As a consequence of the rapid growth of the globally installed offshore wind energy capacity, the size of individual wind farms is increasing. This poses a challenge to models that predict energy production. For instance, the current generation of wake models has mostly been calibrated on existing wind farms of much smaller size. This work analyzes annual energy production and wake losses for future, multi-gigawatt wind farms with atmospheric large-eddy simulation. To that end, 1 year of actual weather has been simulated for a suite of hypothetical 4 GW offshore wind farm scenarios. The scenarios differ in terms of applied turbine type, installed capacity density, and layout. The results suggest that production numbers increase significantly when the rated power of the individual turbines is larger while keeping the total installed capacity the same. Even for turbine types with similar rated power but slightly different power curves, significant differences in production were found. Although wind speed was identified as the most dominant factor determining the aerodynamic losses, a clear impact of atmospheric stability and boundary layer height has been identified. By analyzing losses of the first-row turbines, the yearly average global-blockage effect is estimated to between 2 and 3 %, but it can reach levels over 10 % for stably stratified conditions and wind speeds around 8 m s−1. Using a high-fidelity modeling technique, the present work provides insights into the performance of future, multi-gigawatt wind farms for a full year of realistic weather conditions.

Published: May 2023

Background:
Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) may be misdiagnosed as osteoarthritis (OA), or the chronic course of TGCT may lead to development of secondary OA. However, little is known about the effect of comorbid OA on long-term surgical patterns and costs among TGCT patients.

Methods:
This cohort study used claims data from the Merative MarketScan Research Databases. The study included adults diagnosed with TGCT from January 1, 2014, to June 30, 2019, who have at least 3 years of continuous enrollment before and after the first TGCT diagnosis (date of the first TGCT diagnosis = index date) and no other cancer diagnosis during the study period. Patients were stratified by the presence of an OA diagnosis relative to the index date. Outcomes included surgical procedure patterns, healthcare resource utilization, and costs in the 3-year pre- and postindex periods. Multivariable models were used to assess the effect of OA on the study outcomes, controlling for baseline characteristics.

Results:
The study included 2856 TGCT patients: 1153 (40%) had no OA before or after index (OA[−/−]), 207 (7%) had OA before index but not after (OA[+/−]), 644 (23%) had OA after index but not before (OA[−/+]), and 852 (30%) had OA before and after index (OA[+/+]). The mean age was 51.6 years, and 61.7% were female. During the postperiod, joint surgery was more common among OA(−/+) and OA(+/+) patients compared with OA(−/−) and OA(+/−) patients (55.7% vs 33.2%). The mean all-cause total costs in the 3-year postperiod were $19,476 per patient per year. Compared with OA(−/−) patients, OA(−/+) and OA(+/+) patients had a higher risk of undergoing recurrent surgery and higher total healthcare costs postindex.

Discussion:
Higher rates of surgery and increased healthcare cost observed in TGCT patients with postindex OA underscore the need for effective treatment options to reduce joint damage, especially among patients with comorbid OA.

Active observers can benefit vicariously from the experience of hands-on learners in simulation. Kolb’s experiential learning cycle and vicarious learning theory form the theoretical basis for directed observation during simulation teaching, although little is known about the impact of different simulation technologies on the observer experience.This mixed-methods crossover study compared student experiences as observers using a high-fidelity manikin and immersive virtual reality (VR) software. Forty-nine final-year medical students were divided into two groups, undertaking and observing scenarios using either the manikin or VR before switching to the other form of simulation.Forty-eight questionnaires comprising Likert items were completed and analysed, with 11 students participating in focus groups. As observers, the students reported similar experiences with regards to engagement and reflection, with no statistically significant difference between the two technologies. However, the manikin scored higher in domains such as realism, enjoyment, clinical reasoning, usefulness and improved confidence. Students found that ‘participating’ is a more useful experience than ‘observing’ in both technologies. Thematic analysis revealed themes such as skills development, learning experience and technology.Students valued observing their colleagues completing scenarios within both technologies, highlighting the benefits of observation in focus groups. The high-fidelity manikin scored higher for several domains; however, there was no difference between VR and high-fidelity simulation on perceived observation experience regarding engagement and self-reflection. This suggests VR may have a useful role in observational learning, without the need for a simulation suite.

Normative considerations in public administration research about networks: The added value of knowledge about structures and practices
Current public administration research on networks in healthcare focuses on technical-rational aspects to find the ‘right’ constellation of structures and processes to perform optimally. Increasingly, this approach is criticized due to a lack of attention to versatile factors related to social and institutional practices inherent to collaboration. As a result, taking a normative stance towards healthcare networks is difficult. We argue that a social practice approach provides additional value about the interplay of these factors when assessing healthcare networks. Next to structuration of collaboration, we also need knowledge and insights about social and institutional practices to develop a better understanding about why collaboration is often problematic, and how this affects practice and policy. We illustrate the added value of this approach with the example of integrated birth care in the Netherlands.
Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Organizational Performance: A Literature Review
Authors: Arquimino Ramos  , Lena Ellitan  
Published: May 2023

This paper is to explore the relationship between Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and organizational performance in both private and public organization. OCB has significant impact on organization performance as its shows in several researches and literature review by schoolar. Research in the field of business and management confirms that employees are activators of organizational resources and, therefore, are considered an important asset of the organization. Other available literature confirms the assumption that high employee citizenship behavior is the most influential factor and contributes a lot to the success of company performance. The contribution of fundamentally effective leadership to employee commitment and citizenship cannot be ignored.
