Assessment of Digital Technology Adoption and Access Barriers Among Agricultural Service Providers and Agricultural Extension Professionals
Authors: Drewry Jessica L. , Shutske John M. , Trechter David , Luck Brian D. 
Published: September 2022

HighlightsAgricultural service providers and Extension professionals were surveyed on technology use and barriers.Data privacy and security and hiring qualified IT staff are barriers in the industry.Surveys point to major opportunities for digital agriculture professional development and education. Abstract. As agriculture becomes an increasingly data-driven sector, it is important to understand the technology use and barriers by the service providers who work closely with producers. This is especially important as these individuals can serve as drivers for technology adoption by farmers and ranchers. Although many surveys have looked at technology adoption by producers, little data on agricultural industry service providers exists. Surveys of Extension Professionals (EP) in Iowa, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin, and several categories of Agricultural Service Providers (ASP) in Wisconsin were administered in 2018 to determine satisfaction with internet service and to learn more about information and technology usage and potential barriers to its adoption within the industry. In addition, follow-up informational telephone interviews were conducted with 13 Wisconsin EP. A paper survey was administered to ASP, which had a response rate of 35% (N=462). A similar online survey was administered to EP having an estimated 23% response rate (N=223). The frequency of transmission of data, information, and recommendations was high but specialized for both groups with more frequent use in crop production versus livestock (including dairy). The most commonly-cited barriers associated with the adoption of digital technologies by ASP were related to attracting and hiring well-qualified IT employees, training for both employees and clients, and data security. While data security was a commonly cited barrier, 16% of ASP worked for companies that did not have written policies on data privacy. ASP and EP consider their clients to be adept at using text messages, images, maps, and smartphones. They do not consider their clients to be skilled in their use of digitally accessed and used financial statements, spreadsheets, or laboratory analysis reports. Additional training should be better focused on these areas for ASP and EP which would allow them to be more effective in educating producers and to better realize the value associated with more thoughtful and widespread digital technology adoption. Keywords: Agricultural data, Agricultural service provider, Extension professional, Internet access, Technology adoption, Technology barriers.

Fast and hydrosensitive switching of plasmonic nanocavities via photothermal effect
Authors: Chen Fangqi , Liu Yong , Ding Tao 
Published: September 2022

Metallic nanoplasmonics, due to its extremely small size and ultrafast speed, has been one of the key components for next-generation information technology. It is vital that the highly tunable nanoplasmonic system in the solid state can be achieved for optoelectronic devices, which, still remains elusive for the visible region. Here we sandwich vanadyl oxalate (

composite films remains almost unchanged within the temperature cycles between 15°C and 80°C, while the refractive index of the films decreases with the increase of temperature due to the dehydration, which results in blueshift of the plasmon peak up to 60 nm. The plasmon resonances can be fully recovered when the temperature cools down again. This process is reversible within the temperature range of 15°C–80°C, which can be optically modulated with photothermal effect. Such thermo-responsive plasmonic nanoantenna works in the solid state with hundreds of kilohertz switching speed, which is highly compatible with traditional optoelectronic devices. It can be envisioned that this thermo-responsive optical thin film can be a promising candidate for integrated nanoplasmonic and optoelectronic devices.
Determinants of age at first sex inequality between women and men youth in Uganda: A decomposition analysis
Authors: Luwedde Mary , Sserwanja Quraish , Katantazi Nehemiah 
Published: September 2022

Introduction
Teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases are major public health problems in Uganda. Early sexual debut is one of the main routes of these public health problems. This study aimed to identify factors that explain age at first sex inequality between men and women Ugandan youth.

Methods
This study used secondary data from a cross-sectional Uganda demographic health survey (2016). Participants were 10 189 sexually experienced youth. Using Stata 14, intermediary analysis was done to assess the statistical association between explanatory variables and age at first sex in a multiple logistic regression analysis. Oaxaca decomposition was used to decompose factors that explain inequalities in age at first sex between men and women youth.

Results
Intermediary results showed Islam, many household members, residing in the eastern region, and being divorced/widowed were predictors of early age at first sex. While secondary education, higher education, blue-collar jobs, and being 20 to 30 years old were protective factors against early age at first sex. Material, behavior/cultural, psychosocial, and demographic explanatory factors jointly explained a statistically significant portion of the observed gap in early age at first sex between women and men youth. More women were at a disadvantage at an early age at first sex compared to men youth. About 96.37% of this gap was explained by unequal distribution of material, behavior/cultural, psychosocial, and demographic factors between men and women youth. Relationship to household head (49%), education (16.87%), occupation (8,94%), number of household members (8.57%), using the internet (7.99%), and reading newspapers or magazines (4.39%) made a significant contribution to the explanation of early age at first sex inequality between men and women youth.

Conclusions
Results showed early age at first sex inequality between women and men youth that favored men. Programs designed to address early age at first sex and related health outcomes must combat inequities in education, employment opportunities, access to sexual reproductive information through internet, and newspapers or magazines between men and women youth. They should also foster household relationships and monitor girls.
The role of voltage-gated sodium channel genotypes in pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti in Taiwan
Authors: Chung Han-Hsuan , Tsai Cheng-Hui , Teng Hwa-Jen , Tsai Kun-Hsien 
Published: September 2022

Background
Aedes aegypti is the major vector of dengue that threatens public health in tropical and subtropical regions. Pyrethroid-based control strategies effectively control this vector, but the repeated usage of the same insecticides leads to resistance and hampers control efforts. Therefore, efficient and prompt monitoring of insecticide resistance in local mosquito populations is critical for dengue control.

Methodology/Principal finding
We collected Ae. aegypti in southern Taiwan in March and October 2016. We analyzed the voltage-gated sodium channel (vgsc) genotypes of parentals (G0) and G1 adults after cypermethrin insecticide bioassay. Our results showed that four VGSC mutations (S989P, V1016G, F1534C, and D1763Y) associated with resistance were commonly detected in field-collected Ae. aegypti. The frequencies of these four mutations in the local mosquito population were significantly higher in October (0.29, 0.4, 0.27 and 0.11) than in March (0.09, 0.16, 0.18 and 0.03). Specific vgsc combined genotypes composed of the one to four such mutations (SGFY/SGFY, SVCD/SVCD, SGFY/PGFD, SVCD/SGFY, PGFD/PGFD, and SVCD/PGFD) shifted towards higher frequencies in October, implying their resistance role. In addition, the cypermethrin exposure bioassay data supported the field observations. Moreover, our study observed an association between the resistance level and the proportion of resistance genotypes in the population.

Conclusions/Significance
This is the first study to demonstrate the role of four-locus vgsc genotypes in resistance evaluation in a local Ae. aegypti population in Taiwan. This alternative method using resistance-associated genotypes as an indicator of practically insecticide resistance monitoring is a useful tool for providing precise and real-time information for decision makers.
Bibliometric analysis of hotspots and frontiers in cancer-related fatigue among ovarian cancer survivors
Authors: Liu Yuanxia , Liu Qianxia , Jiang Xiaolian 
Published: September 2022

Objectives
To explore and analyze research hotspots and frontiers in CRF in ovarian cancer patients to provide an evidence-based basis for scholars and policymakers.

Background
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common and lethal gynecological malignancies. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is an annoying and pervasive side-effect that seriously affects the activities of daily living and decreases the quality of life (QoL) of cancer survivors.

Methods
The literature was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from inception to 2021-12-31. CiteSpace was used to discuss research countries, institutions, authors, and keywords.

Results
This study ultimately included 755 valid publications, and the number of publications showed a gradual upward trend. The countries, institutions, authors, and journals that have published the most articles and cited the most frequently were the United States, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Michael Friedlander and Amit M Oza, Gynecologic Oncology, and Journal of Clinical Oncology. The top three high-frequency keywords were Ovarian cancer, chemotherapy, and clinical trial. The top three keywords with the strongest citation bursts were cyclophosphamide, double-blind, and open-label.

Conclusions
Conducting multi-center, large-sample, randomized controlled clinical trials to determine whether chemotherapeutic agents have severe adverse effects and to discuss the relationship between CRF and QoL and overall survival in cancer survivors are hotspots in this field. The new trends may be applying double-blind, randomized controlled trials to clarify the causes of CRF and open-label, randomized trials to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of chemotherapeutic agents.
Decolonising Museum Practice in a Postcolonial Nation: Museum’s Visual Order as the Work of Representation in Constructing Colonial Memory
Authors: Prianti Desi Dwi , Suyadnya I Wayan 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe study of colonialism and its legacies have mostly left the category of memory studies. However, for the colonised subject, what they experienced in the past inevitably forms their present and future discourse. This study focuses on how the museum’s visual order articulates colonial memory. By looking at the work of representation, in this context museum’s visual order, this study investigates how memory lives on through the circulation of colonial memory that the museum simulates. Museum’s visual order translates how colonial memory should be remembered and celebrated as public knowledge. Although research on how museums affect society knowledge have been part of both memory and museum studies, those two studies barely touch upon museums’ role in translating colonial memory in the postcolonial nation. Memory lives on through its circulation in media forms. However, premeditation and mediation are made possible through articulating social and cultural sites, in this case, museums practice. In order to achieve its purposes, this research investigates public museums in different parts of Java, Indonesia which have colonial memory objects. The combination of field observation, document review, and visual method followed by focus group discussion between stakeholders and researchers are conducted to propose the research conclusion. This research argues that the museum’s visual order translates interrelated colonial memories to be accepted as a part of the history that forms the “existence” of the nation and to be appreciated as public knowledge that is shared and forms the national identity. In doing so, museum practice roams into the area of political visibility which decides the legibility of the narrative related to colonial memory. In addition, as museum practice is basically a colonial legacy, this research concludes that it is essential to deconstruct the practice from the perspective of the colonised.
An accurate and efficient local one-dimensional method for the 3D acoustic wave equation
Authors: Wu Mengling , Jiang Yunzhi , Ge Yongbin 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
We establish an accurate and efficient scheme with four-order accuracy for solving three-dimensional (3D) acoustic wave equation. First, the local one-dimensional method is used to transfer the 3D wave equation into three one-dimensional wave equations. Then, a new scheme is obtained by the Padé formulas for computation of spatial second derivatives and the correction of the truncation error remainder for discretization of temporal second derivative. It is compact and can be solved directly by the Thomas algorithm. Subsequently, the Fourier analysis method and the Lax equivalence theorem are employed to prove the stability and convergence of the present scheme, which shows that it is conditionally stable and convergent, and the stability condition is superior to that of most existing numerical methods of equivalent order of accuracy in the literature. It allows us to reduce computational cost with relatively large time step lengths. Finally, numerical examples have demonstrated high accuracy, stability, and efficiency of our method.

What do complexity measures measure? Correlating and validating corpus-based measures of morphological complexity
Authors: Çöltekin Çağrı , Rama Taraka 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe present an analysis of eight measures used for quantifying morphological complexity of natural languages. The measures we study are corpus-based measures of morphological complexity with varying requirements for corpus annotation. We present similarities and differences between these measures visually and through correlation analyses, as well as their relation to the relevant typological variables. Our analysis focuses on whether these ‘measures’ are measures of the same underlying variable, or whether they measure more than one dimension of morphological complexity. Principal component analysis indicates that the first principal component explains 92.62 percent of the variation in eight measures, indicating a strong linear dependence between the complexity measures studied.
Towards a Unity of Theoretical and Practical Reason: On the Constitutive Significance of the Transcendental Dialectic
Authors: König Robert 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe article focuses on re-evaluating Kant’s Transcendental Dialectic by initially highlighting its seemingly negative function within theCritique of Pure Reasonas a mere regulative form for cognition and experience. The Dialectic, however, does not only have such a negative-regulative function but also its very own positive and founding character for cognition that even is present in the supposedly most immediate forms of intuition. In exploring this positive side of the Transcendental Dialectic it becomes clear that it manifests itself as a bridge between the so-called theoretical and practical reason inasmuch as it fills in their gap within Kant’s philosophy. From the practical side, the Dialectic is manifest as an action full of purposiveness, maxims, and imperatives within cognition, from a theoretical side it assumes the form of syllogistic inference, which is the adequate and acting theoretical form of practical reason. Therefore, the unity of reason is shown in presenting its inner gap as a dialectical misunderstanding that Kant not only highlights in the Transcendental Dialectic but also tends to leave unsolved mostly. Nevertheless, the Dialectic can be shown as thea priorisynthetic act of unifying reason, if investigated in the context of Kant’s complete critical endeavour.
An overview about the approaches used in the production of alpha-ketoglutaric acid with their applications
Authors: Chopra Monika , Kumar Vikas , Singh Manoj , Aggarwal Neeraj K. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Alpha ketoglutaric acid is a biological compound found naturally in the human body. It plays an important role in the cell metabolism and has a role in various metabolic pathways including Kreb’s cycle, protein metabolism and so on. Keto glutaric acid is chemically prepared from succinic acid and oxalic acid. It is a direct precursor of glutamic acid and triazines. It can be produced by oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate by isocitrate dehydrogenase. The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is used as a prospective producer of alpha ketoglutaric acid from ethanol. The capability to synthesize Keto glutaric acid has so far been investigated for many microorganisms such as Pseudomonas fluoroscens
, Bacillus subtilis
etc. P. fluoroscens have the ability to synthesize a huge amount of alpha ketoglutaric acid in a glycerol medium supplemented with manganese (Mn). The Mangnese has a significant impact on glycerol metabolism resulting in the buildup of alpha ketoglutaric acid. The metabolism of succinate may result in the production of alpha ketoglutarate. Despite its importance in TCA cycle, alpha ketoglutaric acid buildup as an intermediate product of bacterial glucose oxidation. Along with chemical synthesis and microbial fermentation, enzymatic transformation can also be used to produce alpha ketoglutaric acid. Biodiesel waste is considered as cheap and renewable carbon source for the development of alpha ketoglutaric acid. Alpha ketoglutarate is used for kidney disease, intestinal and stomach disorders and many other conditions. It also plays an important role in the food industry as food and nutrient enhancers. The review is covering all the aspects related with the Alpha ketoglutaric acid production, utilization and product recovery.
Embedded-complement and discontinuous pseudogapping in Hybrid Type-Logical Grammar: a rejoinder to Kim and Runner (2022)
Authors: Kubota Yusuke , Levine Robert 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn their recent paper on pseudogapping in Construction Grammar/HPSG, Kim and Runner (Kim, Jong-Bok & Jeffrey T. Runner. 2022. Pseudogapping in English: A direct interpretation approach.The Linguistic Review.https://doi.org/10.1515/tlr-2022-2094) suggest that the analysis of pseudogapping in Hybrid Type-Logical Grammar (Hybrid TLG) presented in Kubota and Levine (Kubota, Yusuke & Robert Levine. 2017. Pseudogapping as pseudo-VP ellipsis.Linguistic Inquiry48(2). 213–257) does not explain certain complex patterns of pseudogapping for which their own proposal does offer an account. Though Kim and Runner’s (2022) remarks on Kubota and Levine (Kubota, Yusuke & Robert Levine. 2017. Pseudogapping as pseudo-VP ellipsis.Linguistic Inquiry48(2). 213–257) leave room for interpretation, we take it to be reasonably clear that they simply mean that it is difficult to see how such data could be formally accounted for in Kubota and Levine’s proposal. The primary goal of our response is to refute Kim and Runner’s claim on this interpretation. After refuting their claim on this interpretation, we consider a different interpretation of their remarks, one which merely questions the conceptual plausibility of Kubota and Levine’s (2017) broader theoretical architecture. This latter discussion leads to some interesting and important cross-theoretical comparison of different approaches to ellipsis.
Insecticidal activities of the essential oil of Rhynchanthus beesianus rhizomes and its constituents against two species of grain storage insects
Authors: Pan Xiujuan , Xiao He , Hu Xinping , Liu Zhi Long 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The aim of this research was to evaluate insecticidal activities of the essential oil of Rhynchanthus beesianus rhizomes against adults of Liposcelis entomophila and Tribolium castaneum. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses revealed the presence of 44 compounds with β-eudesmol (19.1%), elemol (8.1%), α-terpineol (8.0%), methyl eugenol (6.5%), and caryophyllene (4.8%) being the major constituents. Bioactivity-directed chromatographic separation of the oil led to the isolation of four constituents, elemol, β-eudesmol, methyl eugenol, and α-terpineol. The essential oil exhibited fumigant toxicity against the adults of L. entomophila and T. castaneum with LC50 values of 0.57 and 4.96 mg/L air while the two isolates, methyl eugenol and α-terpineol possessed fumigant toxicity against the booklice (LC50 = 0.15 and 0.48 mg/L air, respectively) and the beetles (LC50 = 1.81 and 4.96 mg/L air, respectively). The oil also possessed contact toxicity against the booklice and the beetles with LD50 values of 121.56 μg/cm2 and 54.93 μg/adult, respectively, while the two isolates β-eudesmol and elemol showed contact toxicity against L. entomophila (LD50 = 99.21 and 35.19 μg/cm2, respectively) and T. castaneum (LD50 = 35.26 and 8.89 μg/adult, respectively). The results indicate that the oil of R. beesianus rhizomes and its isolates have potential as a source for natural insecticides.
