Background
Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood neutrophil myeloperoxidase expression is accurate in ruling out myelodyplastic syndromes (MDS) but might not be suitable for implementation in busy clinical laboratories. We aimed to simplify the original gating strategy and examine its accuracy.

Methods
Using the individual data from 62 consecutive participants enrolled in a prospective validation study, we assessed the agreement in intra-individual robust coefficient of variation (RCV) of peripheral blood neutrophil myeloperoxidase expression and compared diagnostic accuracy between the simplified and original gating strategies.

Results
Cytomorphological evaluation of bone marrow aspirate confirmed MDS in 23 patients (prevalence, 37%), unconfirmed MDS in 32 patients (52%), and was uninterpretable in 7 patients (11%). Median intra-individual RCV for simplified and original gating strategies were 30.7% (range, 24.7–54.4) and 30.6% (range, 24.7–54.1), with intra-class correlation coefficient quantifying absolute agreement equal to 1.00 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99 to 1.00). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were 0.93 (95% CI, 0.82–0.98) and 0.92 (95% CI, 0.82–0.98), respectively (P = .32). Using simplified or original gating strategy, intra-individual RCV values lower than a pre-specified threshold of 30.0% ruled out MDS for 35% (19 of 55) patients, with both sensitivity and negative predictive value estimates of 100%.

Conclusions
The simplified gating strategy performs as well as the original one for ruling out MDS and has the potential to save time and reduce resource utilization. Yet, prospective validation of the simplified gating strategy is warranted before its adoption in routine.

A deep learning generative model approach for image synthesis of plant leaves
Authors: Benfenati Alessandro , Bolzi Davide , Causin Paola , Oberti Roberto 
Published: November 2022

Objectives
A well-known drawback to the implementation of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image-recognition is the intensive annotation effort for large enough training dataset, that can become prohibitive in several applications. In this study we focus on applications in the agricultural domain and we implement Deep Learning (DL) techniques for the automatic generation of meaningful synthetic images of plant leaves, which can be used as a virtually unlimited dataset to train or validate specialized CNN models or other image-recognition algorithms.

Methods
Following an approach based on DL generative models, we introduce a Leaf-to-Leaf Translation (L2L) algorithm, able to produce collections of novel synthetic images in two steps: first, a residual variational autoencoder architecture is used to generate novel synthetic leaf skeletons geometry, starting from binarized skeletons obtained from real leaf images. Second, a translation via Pix2pix framework based on conditional generator adversarial networks (cGANs) reproduces the color distribution of the leaf surface, by preserving the underneath venation pattern and leaf shape.

Results
The L2L algorithm generates synthetic images of leaves with meaningful and realistic appearance, indicating that it can significantly contribute to expand a small dataset of real images. The performance was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively, by employing a DL anomaly detection strategy which quantifies the anomaly degree of synthetic leaves with respect to real samples. Finally, as an illustrative example, the proposed L2L algorithm was used for generating a set of synthetic images of healthy end diseased cucumber leaves aimed at training a CNN model for automatic detection of disease symptoms.

Conclusions
Generative DL approaches have the potential to be a new paradigm to provide low-cost meaningful synthetic samples. Our focus was to dispose of synthetic leaves images for smart agriculture applications but, more in general, they can serve for all computer-aided applications which require the representation of vegetation. The present L2L approach represents a step towards this goal, being able to generate synthetic samples with a relevant qualitative and quantitative resemblance to real leaves.
Moving online: Experiences and potential benefits of digital dance for older adults and people with Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Bek Judith , Leventhal David , Groves Michelle , Growcott Charlotte , Poliakoff Ellen 
Published: November 2022

Background
Dance provides a range of beneficial effects for older adults including individuals with age-related neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development of at-home dance programs delivered digitally through live and pre-recorded media, but little is known about how participants may engage with and benefit from these resources.

Objective
This study explored experiences and potential benefits of digital dance participation among healthy older adults and people with PD.

Methods
An online survey consisting of fixed-choice and open questions was designed in collaboration with dance program providers and distributed between June and November 2020.

Results
Healthy older adults (N = 149) and people with PD (N = 178) participating in at-home dance programs reported frequent engagement and a range of benefits. People with PD reported greater levels of motor (e.g., ease of movement, balance) than non-motor (e.g., energy, confidence) outcomes, while healthy older adults reported similar numbers of motor and non-motor outcomes. Positive outcomes were associated with the use of movement imagery during dance in both groups, while singing was associated with benefits in people with PD and vocalising was associated with benefits in older adults. At-home dance resources were found to offer convenience and flexibility, but participants missed the interaction, support, and routine provided by in-person classes. The majority expressed a preference to continue with both digital and in-person participation in the future. Qualitative analysis of participants’ comments further revealed that digital participation could help to maintain connection and well-being, as well as identifying further considerations for improving accessibility and facilitating digital engagement.

Conclusions
At-home dance appears to be accessible, engaging, and potentially beneficial for older adults and people with PD, although barriers to participation should be addressed. Digital resources will be increasingly important to enable cost-effective, large-scale provision of home-based therapeutic activities.
Current knowledge of physicians’ dual practice in Iran: A scoping review and defining the research agenda for achieving universal health coverage
Authors: Moghri Javad , Arabloo Jalal , Rahatlou Mohammad Barzegar , Saadati Maryam , Yousefzadeh Negar 
Published: November 2022

Background
Physicians’ dual practice (simultaneous practice in both public and private sectors) may be challenging for achieving universal health coverage. The purpose of this review is to identify the types of available evidence in physicians’ dual practice in Iran and define the research agenda for achieving universal health coverage (UHC).

Methods
We conducted a scoping review of the literature using Arksey and O’Malley’s approach. We searched Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science core collection, as well as internal databases including the National Magazine Database (Magiran) and the Scientific Information Database (SID) until August 3, 2020. Studies published in Persian or English and investigating physicians’ dual practice in the health system of Iran were included. Each step of the study was performed by two of the present researchers. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) recommendations were used to conduct this study and report the findings.

Results
Fourteen studies were included in the current review. The findings were categorized and synthesized into five themes including the forms of dual practice, the extent of dual practice, the motivators and factors affecting dual practice, the policy options, and the consequences of dual practice. There were limited evidence on the nature, types, and prevalence of this phenomenon for different provinces and medical specialties and on health policy options in Iran. There seems to be a methodological gap (a gap in the type of study and its method) in the subject area. Most studies have only used quantitative or qualitative study methods and based on the self-report of research samples in most of the included studies.

Conclusions
More research is required at national level on the nature, types, and prevalence of this phenomenon, focusing on clarifying the root causes of this phenomenon and on the effects of dual practice on the indicators of accessibility to health services, especially for vulnerable populations, the quality of care provided, and equity, and on complex policy research on health policy options in Iran. The research questions proposed in the present study can help to bridge the knowledge gap in this area. Additional studies should address issues related to the quality of data collection in physicians’ dual practice.
Equivalencias e interferencias en la traducción vitivinícola francés/español
Authors: Martínez Lanzán Gloria 
Published: November 2022

España y Francia son países con una amplia tradición vitivinícola y el volumen de ventas es muy similar. Sin embargo, por lo que respecta a la lengua del vino, la balanza se inclina hacia el lado francés que se considera la lingua franca del vino. De manera que son frecuentes los extranjerismos en este ámbito de especialidad tanto en el español del vino como en las traducciones al español. Pensamos que la traducción debe ser natural, ajustada y, en la medida de lo posible, equivalente. Además, el traductor debe mostrar un amplio conocimiento tanto la lengua meta como de la lengua original así como del ámbito de especialidad, pero no es menos cierto que cada vez son más las voces que apuestan por la atención a los aspectos culturales así como a diversos tipos de equivalencias e interferencias ?léxicas, fraseológicas, sintácticas, etc? a las que el traductor deberá dar respuesta para facilitar la tarea del lector meta. Para constatar las diferencias y semejanzas entre ambas lenguas romances nos serviremos del Dictionnaire amoureux du Vin y su traducción al español y trataremos de dar respuesta a algunas cuestiones sobre la traducción especializada, la preferencia por los extranjerismos o la necesidad de los mismos, las diferencias culturales, las inexactitudes conceptuales, la fraseología o la intraductibilidad de algunos términos dentro de la traducción vitivinícola.
Biological features of flowering of the genetic collection of plants of the family Onagraceae Juss. in the forest-steppe conditions of Western Siberia
Authors: Koroleva E. V. 
Published: November 2022

Data on the timing of the onset of phenological phases and the duration of the flowering period of the genetic collection of annual flowering plants from three sections of the family Onagraceae Juss. are presented: Rhodanthos, Godetia and Phaeostoma of the Clarkia Pursh. generic complex, outside their natural habitats (ex situ), on the collection site of the Novosibirsk State Agrarian University. As a result of the evaluation of the flowering phenomena of Clarkia sections, two flowering periods were identified. The species were distributed into summer-flowering plants C. purpurea from the Godetia section - with a vegetation duration of 102 ± 2 days and summer-autumn C. amoena and C. amoena subsp. Lindleyi from the Rhodanthos section with a vegetation duration of 123 ± 2 days and a species of C. unguiculata blooming throughout the period from the Phaeostoma section with a vegetation duration of 126 ± 2 days. Correlation analysis showed a high dependence of the growth and development periods of Clarkia species on the sum of biologically active temperatures > 10 °C (0.77 - 0.99). Cpurpurea from the Godetia section has the greatest adaptive potential to local climatic conditions, it requires the least amount of biologically active temperatures of the growing season (1903 °C) for growth and development than two other sections: Phaeostoma (2090 °C), Rhodanthos (2188 °C). Thus, all three sections of the Clarkia family Onagraceae Juss. they are characterized by prolonged flowering in the conditions of the forest-steppe of Western Siberia, are promising for urban gardening, differ in the possibility of sowing seeds in the open ground and are suitable for flower beds of continuous flowering.

Fundamentado a partir de conceitos correlativos, se quer dilatar o diálogo da Geografia com os fenômenos religiosos vivenciados íntima e socialmente em praticamente todos os povos. Não se trata de um relato histórico de todas essas mudanças, mas uma análise e comparação das práticas seculares com as estratégias de ação e as novas territorialidades.
O ESTUDO DAS UNIDADES DE RELEVO EM REGIÕES LITORÂNEAS: O EXEMPLO DO LITORAL SUL DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO
Authors: Dias Renê Lepiani , De Oliveira Regina Célia 
Published: November 2022

As regiões litorâneas no território brasileiro caracterizam-se pela dinâmica dos processos naturais associados à conformação do relevo que podem vir a representar zonas de risco Ã ocorrência de eventos tais como movimento gravitacional ou enchentes. O intenso processo de ocupação humana ao longo do tempo assistida nessas áreas vem fragilizar em muito a organização de todo o sistema natural que rege esses espaços resultando em quadros catastróficos. Em virtude da fragilidade ambiental e a pressão de uso das terras observado na região do Litoral Sul do Estado de São Paulo este trabalho teve com proposta apresentar uma discussão sobre as unidades de relevo, através da compartimentação geomorfológica dos municípios localizados na zona de influência costeira, como os municípios de Iguape, Ilha Comprida e Cananéia. Considera-se que os resultados deste trabalho possam auxiliar na discussão de planejamento territorial de uso da terra, buscando assim um maior entendimento da dinâmica dos agentes físicos da área de estudo.
DESENVOLVIMENTO LOCAL NO ARRANJO PRODUTIVO LOCAL DE MALHAS DE TRICOT DE IMBITUVA-PR
Authors: Bobato Zaqueu Luiz , Da Silva Junior Roberto França 
Published: November 2022

O atual período histórico, que optamos chamar de globalização, constantemente tem gerado novas formas de organização, reconfigurando a ordem espacial de atividades econômicas no espaço geográfico. Os territórios procuram se firmar em uma "lógica" competitiva. Portanto, as transformações em curso, impulsionaram modelos que passam a ser adotados pelos lugares como solução. Historicamente Imbituva tem apresentado uma peculiar atividade econômica, que tem sido importante para certo desenvolvimento local, na sustentabilidade de renda de muitas famílias. Essa atividade é baseada na fabricação de peças de vestuário baseadas em malhas de tricot. O número expressivo de malharias permite uma análise geográfica da concentração de meios e fatores de produção, híbrido de técnicas e normas, sob uma perspectiva da proximidade. Institucionalmente essa concentração foi considerada pelo Instituto Paranaense de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (Ipardes) como sendo um Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL). No entanto, os diversos problemas na condução de políticas públicas no âmbito da concentração de Imbituva, dificulta compreendermos apenas como um APL, mas como uma economia de proximidade. Este artigo objetiva demonstrar as dificuldades ocorridas na constituição dessa formação, avaliando a experiência imbituvense, identificando processos competitivos (fomento e "dinamismo") e as relações de cooperação no ramo das malhas em tricot. Ressaltamos que não se trata de um estudo de administração institucional de empresas, mas de uma análise geoeconômica do funcionamento do arranjo, que em 2009 era composto por 38 malharias associadas junto Ã Imbitumalhas.

Published: November 2022

O estudo da fisiografia de bacias hidrográficas rurais deve fornecer subsídios para o manejo eficiente dos recursos naturais, visando proteger o meio ambiente e o produtor. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa dedicada à caracterização fisiográfica da sub-bacia do rio das Pedras, nos municípios de Uberlândia e Tupaciguara/MG. Utilizando-se de cartas topográficas da Diretoria de Serviço Geográfico (DSG) do Exército na escala de 1:25.000, pôde-se obter uma série de dados morfométricos e informações temáticas através da vetorização manual, principalmente no Spring 5.1 e ArcGIS 9.2 . A sub-bacia hidrográfica do rio das Pedras possui uma área de 422.02 km². Sua hierarquia fluvial máxima é de 5ª ordem de magnitude, apresentando uma drenagem predominantemente dendrítica, porém com alguns segmentos retangulares. Em sua área há predominância de relevo suavemente ondulado e ondulado, com declividade média de 9,3%. A bacia hidrográfica possui 50,9% de sua área na classe de altitude entre 800 e 850 metros. Seu formato é alongado, como comprova o fator de forma de 0,17, seu coeficiente de compacidade de 1,53 e índice de circularidade de 0,41. O valor da densidade de drenagem é de 0,99 km/ km² e a freqÃ¼ência de rios é de 0,52 segmentos/ km². Estes e outros aspectos relacionados à dinâmica geoambiental da sub-bacia foram destacados, proporcionando subsídios para futuras iniciativas de manejo sustentável dos recursos naturais disponíveis.

On a strongly damped semilinear wave equation with time-varying source and singular dissipation
Authors: Yang Yi , Fang Zhong Bo 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper deals with the global well-posedness and blow-up phenomena for a strongly damped semilinear wave equation with time-varying source and singular dissipative terms under the null Dirichlet boundary condition. On the basis of cut-off technique, multiplier method, contraction mapping principle, and the modified potential well method, we establish the local well-posedness and obtain the threshold between the existence and nonexistence of the global solution (including the critical case). Meanwhile, with the aid of modified differential inequality technique, the blow-up result of the solutions with arbitrarily positive initial energy and the lifespan of the blow-up solutions are derived.
