Authors: Akiyama Naomi , Akiyama Tomoya , Sato Hideaki , Shiroiwa Takeru , Kishi Mitsuo 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Patient safety is associated with patient outcomes. However, there is insufficient evidence of patient safety in the dental field. This study aimed to compare incidents reported by dentists and physicians, compare the type of errors made by them, and identify how dentists prevent dental errors.
Methods
A retrospective mixed-methods study was conducted using open data from the Japan Council for Quality Health Care database. A total of 6,071 incident reports submitted for the period 2016 to 2020 were analyzed; the number of dentists’ incident reports was 144, and the number of physicians’ incident reports was 5,927. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and content analysis.
Results
The highest percentage of dental incidents reported were treatment errors (n = 104, 72.2%), which was the same as for physicians (n = 3215, 54.2%). The percentage of dental intern reporters was higher than that of medical intern reporters (dentists: n = 12, 8.3%; physicians: n = 180, 3.0%; p = 0.002). The percentage of each type of prevention method utilized was as follows: software 27.8% (n = 292), hardware (e.g., developing a new system) 2.1% (n = 22), environment (e.g., coordinating the activities of staff) 4.2% (n = 44), liveware (e.g., reviewing procedure, double checking, evaluating judgement calls made) 51.6% (n = 542), and liveware-liveware (e.g., developing adequate treatment plans, conducting appropriate postoperative evaluations, selecting appropriate equipment and adequately trained medical staff) 14.3% (n = 150).
Conclusions
Establishing a comprehensive support system for dental interns is essential. In addition, it is necessary to develop and implement effective preventive methods and policies for patient safety, which not only rely on individual efforts but also engage the medical community as a whole.

Abstract
Background and aim
Severe air pollution in Ahvaz has increased the scientific community’s attention and policymakers. To understand the trends and characteristics of air pollution in Ahvaz, an analysis of air quality was carried out, and accordingly, we have forecasted 2021 and 2023.
Methods
Air quality data collected at Ahvaz Air Quality Monitoring Network from 2013- to April 2021, were analyzed. Autoregressive time series models were fitted to monthly data and forecasts were made for the next 24 months.
Result
Annual PM10 and PM2.5, concentrations were higher than WHO air quality guideline levels during the entire study period. Ahvaz experienced worse air quality in 2015. The highest average PM and gaseous pollution concentrations were found in traffic areas. The average annual change had decreasing trends for PM10 (-5.65 μg/m-3), PM2.5 (-4.06 μg/m-3, and SO2 (-2.06 ppb), while an increasing trend was found for NO2 (+21.79 ppb), O3 (+37.67 ppb) and CO (+21.04 ppm) during the study period. The forecast shows a negative trend in SO2, PM10, PM2.5, and CO but a rise in O3 and NO2.
Discussion and conclusion
Ahvaz is a center of heavy industry and is seriously polluted with PM, which was mainly from natural sources. However, there is no clear way of preventing events caused by natural sources affected by climate change, such as desert dust outbreaks. Targeted policies to reduce vehicle emissions and an intelligent expert system for emergency response during dust episodes recommended
An automatic red-female association tested by Stroop task
Authors: Chen Na , Nakamura Koyo , Watanabe Katsumi 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Previous studies showed stereotyped color-gender associations (e.g., red/pink is female, and blue/green is male). Here, we investigated the automaticity of color-gender associations using two Stroop-word categorization tasks. Ten Japanese gendered words were chosen as visual stimuli. In Experiment 1, participants were instructed to indicate whether a target word presented in either red, green, or gray font color, was a male or female concept. Results showed a congruent effect of red-female association that red font color facilitated feminine words categorization and inhibited masculine words categorization. Experiment 2 tested whether red-female association could affect perceptual font color categorization. Participants were asked to discriminate the font color that presented in different saturation levels of red or green while ignoring the word’s meaning. Results showed that participants responded faster and made fewer errors when categorizing red font color for feminine words than masculine words. Those results suggest an automatic activated red-female association in both conceptual gendered word categorization and perceptual font color discrimination.
Analyzing the spreading properties of vortex beam in turbulent biological tissues
Authors: Chib Salma , Belafhal Abdelmajid 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Presenting the intensity development of a circular Laguerre-cosh-Gaussian (CLChG) beam in turbulent mouse biological tissues is the major goal of the current work. Using the power spectrum refractive index from Schmitt's model and the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral, the propagation formula of the CLChG beam is produced. In order to determine the spreading properties of the studied beam, analytical expressions of the CLChG beam's effective beam size in turbulent mouse biological tissues are constructed. Some graphical representations have to be carried out in order to discover the impacts of beam and biological turbulence parameters on this sort of beam. The findings show that the transformation of the CLChG beam into a Gaussian-like beam in the far field occurs more quickly when the beam passes through the deep dermis of the mouse. The shape of the CLChG beam can also be changed by choosing a specific value for the parameter linked to the cosh-part. Because the effective beam spot radius along the x- and y-axis are equal, we also see that the beam spot in biological tissues takes on a circular shape.
Adaptive Beamformer in Hybrid Massive MIMO using Reconstructed Spatial Covariance Matrix

Published: September 2022

Abstract

In order to compensate for high path loss, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has been adopted in wireless communication systems operating at millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands. In particular, analog beamformer has been employed in hybrid massive MIMO systems to reduce the cost caused by radio frequency (RF) chains. However, due to hardware limitation, only conventional beamformer can be used at base station (BS) in existing hybrid massive MIMO systems, and as a consequence, inter-user-interference (IUI) cannot be removed completely in the presence of multiple users because of the sidelobe of conventional beamformer. In this letter, we will show that by utilizing the reconstructed spatial covariance matrix (SCM), adaptive beamformer can be also used at the BS in hybrid massive MIMO systems. Thanks to the reconstructed SCM, nulling directions of the adaptive beamformer can be adjusted adaptively to the directions of non-desired users, and therefore the residual IUI can be effectively removed. Simulation results show that the adaptive beamformer can outperform the conventional beamformer significantly in hybrid massive MIMO systems.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate 12-month surgical outcome of Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy in combination with cataract surgery in Latino patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT).
Methods: This retrospective study included 45 eyes of 40 patients who underwent KDB goniotomy combined with cataract extraction from January 2016 to September 2020 at two centers in South America. Primary outcome was surgical success was defined as ≥20% intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction or ≥1 medication reduction from preoperative without additional IOP-lowering procedures and an IOP ≥5 mmHg or ≤21 mmHg. Additionally, we used 2 cutoffs values for success of IOP ≤18 and ≤15 mmHg. Secondary outcomes included: IOP, medication use, best corrected visual acuity, complications and failure-associated factors.
Results: Success rates at 12 months with cutoff limits of 21, 18 and 15 mmHg were 84.3%, 75.6% and 58.7%, respectively. At 12 months, mean preoperative IOP significantly decreased from 19.23 ± 0.65 mmHg on 2.33 ± 1.04 medications to 14.33 ± 0.66 mmHg on 0.59 ± 0.94 medications, with 62% of eyes free of hypotensive medication. Eyes that developed postoperative IOP spikes had higher risk for failure using the cutoff limit of IOP ≤18 mmHg with a hazard ratio of 3.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.80-7.13; p<0.001). There were no serious ocular adverse events.
Conclusions: KDB combined with cataract extraction showed safety and efficacy for decreasing IOP and the number of hypotensive medications in Latino patients after one year follow-up. Intraocular pressure spikes were associated with a higher risk for failure.
Improved initial alignment algorithm of SINS on shaking base based on Kalman filter
Authors: Shi Ling-Feng , Hou Zhi-Yong , Lv Yun-Feng 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

In the initial alignment of shaking base, Kalman filter is easy to diverge, and the alignment result is poor. Many scholars introduce various nonlinear filtering methods to solve this problem, but these filtering methods not only have large amount of calculation, but also are low accuracy. Based on the problem, an improved adaptive Kalman filter (IAKF) algorithm is proposed to complete the initial alignment of the shaking base. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm has high anti-interference and anti-divergence ability. Under the simulation conditions, pitch, roll and heading errors can be stabilized at about 10 degrees. The real measurement with Redmi K30Pro mobile phone shows that the alignment result of the improved algorithm is consistent, and the difference of multiple alignment results is stable within 5 degrees, while the difference of traditional method is more than 20 degrees. It can be applied in smart phone navigation with the strapdown inertial navigation system.
Observations on Leaf Characteristics of Afghanistan Pine1
Authors: Bukovac Martin J. , Widmoyer Fred B. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Observations on leaf morphology and on the fine-structure and quantity of epicuticular wax of a newly introduced (Plant Introduction (PI) 303638) Afghanistan pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) indicated that needles were borne 2 or 3 per fascicle with 1.7- to 4-fold more 3- than 2-needled fascicles depending on the flush of growth. Needles were curved and twisted, margins serrulate, and apices acute. An amorphous epicuticular wax, about 180±48 μg cm−2, covered the needles. Crystalline platelet or fiber-like wax occurred in irregular patches, frequently around stomata. Stomata on both abaxial and adaxial surfaces were deeply depressed and in rows parallel to the long axis of the needle. In many stomata the antechamber was partially occluded with fiber-like wax. Thin-layer chromatograms indicated that the more polar constituents, namely fatty acids, sec-alcohols and esters were most prevalent, while only traces of alkanes, ketones and aldehydes were present.
Influence of Reflectant and Shade Material on Light Distribution in Mature ‘Delicious’ Apple Trees1
Authors: Doud Diane S. , Ferree David C. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Diffuse light within the tree canopy of mature red strain of ‘Delicious’ apple trees (Malus domestica (Borkh.)) was increased throughout the 1978 growing season with under-tree reflectors and decreased by overtree shade material. Three all season light integrating methods were well correlated (Yellow Springs total radiometer, Lambda quantum sensor, Cain integrator). The Lambda quantum sensor used at intervals showed daily quantity of light reflected was dependent on climatic conditions, time of day, and stage of tree development. Neither reflectors nor shade altered spectral quality. Leaf cross sections, as an indicator of light exposure, showed gross morphological differences between shaded and check leaves but not between reflector and check leaves.
The Effect of Two Mycorrhizal Fungi upon Growth and Nutrition of Avocado Seedlings Grown with Six Fertilizer Treatments1

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Seedlings of ‘Topa Topa’ avocado (Persea americana Mill.) were grown in steamed loamy sand soil with no fertilizer, complete fertilizer (N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Mo, B), −P, −Zn, −P and −Zn, and −Zn+10 × P(640 ppm P). Seedlings were inoculated separately with one of 2 isolates of Glomus fasciculatus (Thaxter) Gerd. & Trappe (GF) or were inoculated with a water filtrate of the mycorrhizal inoculum plus autoclaved mycorrhizal inoculum. Growth of mycorrhizal seedlings was 49-254% larger than nonmycorrhizal avocados except at the −Zn+10×P regime where mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal avocados were of similar size. Both mycorrhizal isolates increased absorption of N, P, and Cu at all fertilizer treatments and absorption of Zn was increased with all fertilizer treatments by one mycorrhizal isolate. Fertilization with P did not alter P concentrations in leaves of nonmycorrhizal plants but increased P concentrations in leaves of mycorrhizal seedlings. Fertilization with 10×P increased P concentrations in both mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal seedlings. One GF isolate appeared to be superior to the other based on mineral nutrition of the host avocados. Differences between the isolates apparently were related to their rate of growth or ability to infect. Poor growth of avocado seedlings in steamed or fumigated soil can be related to poor mineral nutrition due to the destruction of mycorrhizal fungi.
Effect of Harvest Date on Yield and Grade Distribution Relationships for Pickling Cucumbers Harvested Once-over1
Authors: O'Sullivan John , Colwell H. T. M. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Pickling cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) were harvested once-over at 24-hour intervals for periods of from 6-11 days over a 3-year period to study the effect of harvest date on yield, average crop value, and grade distributions, and to identify criteria that could be used to identify optimum harvest date in the field. The relationship between yield (MT/ha) and average crop value ($/MT) was linear (R2>.90) indicating that average crop value would be a satisfactory criterion to indicate optimum harvest date. The relationships between yield and grade 1 and grade 5 cucumbers (% by number and by weight) and grade 4 cucumbers (% by number) were also linear (R2>.68) indicating that these measures of grade distribution could also be used to indicate optimum harvest date. The relationship between yield and % by weight and by number of grade 2 and 3 cucumbers did not follow a consistent pattern and were not considered to be satisfactory indicators of optimum harvest date.
Effects of the Counseling Program on Strengthening Mental-Crisis Management to Strengthen Adolescent Life Crisis Awareness
Authors: Jirarode Angkana , Rungrojwatanasiri Pisit 
Published: September 2022

Background:
A mental crisis is a dangerous state with many subsequent harmful effects on the adolescent. It is a state in which the adolescent needs help and must get that help immediately. If they do not receive the assistance they require, they may end up isolating themselves from social interaction and become completely preoccupied with themselves. The counseling program is therefore being put into effect to strengthen the mental crisis management capacity of adolescents and to offer counseling and assistance to students who find themselves beset with a mental crisis so that they will be fully able to manage their mental crises, restore a sense of balance to their psyches, and carry on with their lives effectively.

Objective:
The aim of the study was to compare the life crisis awareness scores of adolescent students enrolled in a program of study at Thammasat University.

Methods:
This research was quasi-experimental and consisted of a two-group pretest-post test design. They were subdivided into two groups of 30 students each by simple random sampling, of which one group was the experimental group and the other was control group. The experimental group underwent a counseling program of bolstering mental crisis management capacity once a week for a period of six weeks. Results were assessed using a crisis awareness evaluation form. Results were assessed twice, before testing and after testing. The data were analyzed by the statistics of percentage, mean, dependent t-test, and independent t-test.

Results:
1. The average life crisis awareness scores of the adolescents in the experimental group following acceptance into the counseling program by fortifying their mental crisis management capacity (M=132.77, SD=11.03) were higher than they were prior to program entry (M=113.73, SD=14.40), with a statistical significance (t=6.81, p<0.001).
2. The average life crisis awareness scores of the experimental group that had been accepted into the above-mentioned counseling program were higher after undergoing testing (M=132.77, SD=11.03) than the scores for the control group (M=118.83, SD=10.73), with a statistical significance (t=4.95, p<0.001).

Conclusion:
This program thus helps the adolescent restore a sense of mental balance and live a normal happy life.
Silicon Reduces the Severity of Fusarium Infection on Young Wheat Parts In Vitro
Authors: Sakr Nachaat 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Although silicon (Si) has been referred as an essential element for controlling destructive diseases of wheat, available data are limited about enhancing adult wheat resistance against Fusarium causing head blight. Also, no reports seem to exist on the use of Si to reduce Fusarium seedling blight (FSB) on young wheat parts in vitro. Under in vitro conditions, Fusarium infection happened at the seedling stage cannot be called Fusarium head blight, because it is not a “head” disease, instead it could be called “FSB”.

Objective and Methods:
This research aimed to elucidate the bio-efficacy of soluble Si at 1.7 mM to increase wheat resistance to FSB measured by latent period (LP) of detached leaf inoculation, area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) of Petri-dish inoculation and coleoptile length reduction (CLR) of a coleoptile infection detected in vitro. Si treatments were applied to six bread and durum wheat cultivars of contrasting susceptibility to disease infected with four Fusarium species displaying a diverse pathogenicity.

Results:
Differences were observed on wheat detached leaves and seedlings in the resistance of Si-Fusarium-inoculated treatments relative to fungal-inoculated-controls, showing the beneficial role played by this element in decreasing head blight disease symptoms on young plant parts under in vitro conditions. In all wheat cultivars infected with different Fusarium species, the application of Si did increase host resistance measured in vitro; 1.7 mM Si resulted in significantly higher LP and lesser AUDPC and CLR compared with controls. More importantly, Si at 1.7 mM increased host resistance of susceptible to moderately susceptible cultivars measured by LP, AUDPC and CLR to the same level of resistance exhibited by a wheat cultivar high in quantitative resistance without Si.

Conclusion:
This is the first report presenting the utility of three distinct in vitro bio-assays to investigate the effect of Si in the wheat- FSB pathosystem. The application of silicon to complement host resistance to head blight appears to be an effective strategy for disease management in wheat.
Een raadselachtige Romeinse koepeloven uit Hengelo (Ov.)
Authors: Ufkes Adrie 
Published: September 2022

A mysterious Roman kiln from Hengelo (province of Overijssel). In Hengelo (province of Overijssel) a rural settlement was excavated by SOB Research, and the pottery was studied by the author. The pottery belongs in the Rhein-Weser-Germanische tradition and dates mainly from the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The fill of a well contained not only a huge number of potsherds and other archaeological material, but also fragments of a kiln. Considering the fabric of the clay, the absence of signs of a very high oven temperature, the absence of soot, the S-shaped profile of the dome and its relative height and narrowness, it is argued that the kiln was used for processing smoked or dried meat.
Een bronzen hielbijl uit Emmen

Published: September 2022

A Bronze Age palstave found at Emmen. In 2019, a Bronze Age palstave was found in a field west of Emmen by a father-and-son team of metal detectorists. In agreement with the landowner, the find was reported to PAN. During the process of conservation, the opportunity presented itself to study the alloy using pXRF analysis. This suggested that the copper ores used in the bronze alloy ultimately derived from Swiss or Slovakian mines, but that the metal was cast locally into a form well-known in the sandy regions of the Low Countries. A review of the find in its topographical and cultural context indicated that it – like various other items in the Bronze Age – had been deposited in (the margin of) wetland parts of the landscape, not far from a contemporaneous settlement.
Contaminatie in de Queen Anne? Een eerste aanzet tot het verklaren van de aanwezigheid van wilde plantenresten in scheepswrakken
Authors: Van Rijn Morvenna , Van Popta Yftinus 
Published: September 2022

A first step towards interpreting wild plant remains in Dutch shipwrecks. This paper focuses on the remains of wild plants that were found in shipwrecks from the former Zuiderzee inlet in the central Netherlands. So far, archaeobotanical research on these wreck sites has solely focused on economic plant remains, in order to answer questions on food consumption, organic cargoes and possible trade routes. For this purpose, soil samples were retrieved from these wrecks and analysed for their botanical contents. Soon it became clear that, besides the remains of economic plants, each wreck also contained thousands of wild plant remains. As these remains were often treated as a form of contamination, their potential for maritime archaeological studies has been largely neglected up to the present. Therefore the current study aims to explain how wild plant materials can become part of shipwreck contexts, and may help us to better understand the wrecks. For instance, by categorizing and interpreting the remains of wild plants that were found in the 18th-century shipwreck of the English freighter known as the Queen Anne.
