Authors: Adhikari Jagan Nath , Bhattarai Bishnu Prasad , Rokaya Maan Bahadur , Thapa Tej Bahadur 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Invasive and alien plant species (IAPS) are considered as major threats to native biodiversity because IAPS alter ecosystem structure and their functions. We assessed the association of four major IAPS (Mikania micrantha, Chromolaena odorata, Lantana camara, and Parthenium hysterophorus) and the abundance of wild ungulates in Barandabhar Corridor Forest (BCF), Chitwan, Nepal. We collected data on the presence of wild ungulates in IAPS invaded habitats through direct observation and sign surveys. Our study showed that the cover of M. micrantha was significantly high in Sal forest (Prominence value PV = 73.23) followed by riverine forest (PV = 40.5) and grassland (PV = 37.7) whereas P. hysterophorus was high in grasslands (PV = 22.9). Similarly, C. odorata was significantly high in Sal forest (PV =141.6%), and L. camara was high in mixed forest (PV = 22.6). It was found that there was a significant negative association of IAPS (p = 0.002) with wild ungulates. The abundances of deer and wild pigs were more in the buffer zone than in the non-buffer zone. The abundance of deer decreased with increasing cover of C. odorata, M. micrantha, and P. hysterophorus (p = 0.002). Similarly, the abundance of wild pigs decreased with increasing cover of M. micrantha and L. camara. IAPS were not uniformly distributed in different habitats and abundances of wild ungulates were less in IAPS invaded habitats. Hence, it is important to initiate management plans to control IAPS spread to avoid their negative impacts on wild ungulate population such as deer and wild pigs.
Importance Analysis of System Related Fault Based on Improved Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory
Authors: Xu Yandong , Shen Guixiang 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The existence of related faults between components brings great difficulties to the analysis of the importance of system components. How to quantify the influence of related faults and evaluate the importance of components is one of the hot issues in current research. In this paper, under the assumption that the fault propagation obeys the Markov process, the PageRank algorithm is integrated into the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). On the basis, the calculation of influencing degree and influenced degree between components is studied to quantify the influence of related faults, and the problem of subjective evaluation of weight coefficient in traditional DEMATEL is solved. The rationality is verified through the method of combining the Interpretative Structural Modeling Method (ISM) and direct relation matrix. The importance of system related faults is identified accurately based on the calculation of center degree and cause degree, and the central-related faults of CNC machine tools are analyzed as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The maximum electromagnetic field formed in the electrically large enclosures for a given input power has always been the focus of electromagnetic compatibility issues such as radiation sensitivity and shielding effectiveness. To model the maximums in a simple manner, the electrically large enclosure can be regarded as a reverberation chamber (RC), thus the generalized extreme value (GEV) theory based framework is used for both undermoded and overmoded frequencies. Since the mechanical stirrer is not easy to be installed like that for RC, frequency stirring and mechanical stirring related configurations are discussed, and the corresponding results have confirmed the validity of frequency stirring with the estimate of the parameters in GEV distribution. As for the maximum field, a comparison has been made between GEV distribution and IEC 61000-4-21, and the corresponding results have also highlighted that the maximum field can be assessed by frequency stirring configuration, and by GEV distribution with a desired confidence.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The development of modern lithium batteries and propulsion systems now allows the use of complex propulsion systems for vessels of various sizes. As part of the research and implementation project, a parallel hybrid drive system was designed, built and then tested in the laboratory. The experimental studies conducted allowed for the measurements of power, fuel consumption and electric power distribution in various operating modes of the propulsion system. The research proves that in the analysed case, the hybrid parallel system meets the demand for electric energy during a typical cruise scenario, and thus there is no need to install a power generator on the yacht.
Analysis of the Hydrodynamic Properties of the 3-Column Spar Platform for Offshore Wind Turbines
Authors: Ciba Ewelina , Dymarski Paweł , Grygorowicz Mirosław 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The article presents a design of a floating platform for offshore wind turbines. The concept is a modification of the Spar design and consists of three variable section columns connected to each other by a ballast tank in the lower part of the platform. This solution makes it possible to influence the position of the centre of buoyancy and the centre of mass of the structure. Compared to the classic Spar platform structure, the centre of buoyancy can be higher than mid-draft, which will provide the platform with greater stability. At the same time, this concept is better, in terms of technology, because of its modular structure and smaller bending radii.On the basis of the model testing performed, the hydrodynamic coefficients of the designed platform and its response to a given regular wave were determined (the transfer functions for heave and pitch motion were determined). Then, based on the damping coefficients, the platform was modelled in the ANSYS AQWA program and the results were very similar.
A Novel Fault Diagnosis Method for Marine Blower with Vibration Signals
Authors: Yan Guohua , Hu Yihuai , Jiang Jiawei 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The vibration signals on marine blowers are non-linear and non-stationary. In addition, the equipment in marine engine room is numerous and affects each other, which makes it difficult to extract fault features of vibration signals in the time domain. This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on the combination of Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD), an Autoregressive model (AR model) and the correlation coefficient method. Firstly, a series of Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) components were obtained after the vibration signal was decomposed by EEMD. Secondly, effective IMF components were selected by the correlation coefficient method. AR models were established and the power spectrum was analysed. It was verified that blower failure can be accurately diagnosed. In addition, an intelligent diagnosis method was proposed based on the combination of EEMD energy and a Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), with a correlation coefficient method to get effective IMF components, and the energy components were calculated, normalised as a feature vector. Finally, the feature vector was sent to the BPNN for training and state recognition. The results indicated that the EEMD-BPNN intelligent fault diagnosis method is suitable for higly accurate fault diagnosis of marine blowers.
Some People are Different from You: A Case Study of a Cultural and Ethical Problem in Global Health
Authors: Rovers John , Ulrich Erin 
Published: August 2022

Pharmacists, student pharmacists, and other healthcare providers are frequent participants on short-term medical service trips (MSTs) to medically underserved areas. Many such MSTs take place in areas like sub-Saharan Africa where cultural beliefs about healthcare and society may be very different from what volunteers from the Global North believe. These cultural divergences may then give rise to ethical problems MST volunteers need to navigate. This case study provides an example of such an ethical problem developing from a difference in cultures – the case of female genital cutting. Often, the ethical training that most MST volunteers receive during their clinical education is inadequate to help them address these kinds of cultural differences and the problems that result. A six-step process to provide MST volunteers with the tools to address such cultural-ethical problems is included.
Quantitative classification of invasive and noninvasive breast cancer using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging of the mammary gland
Authors: Miyazaki Yoshiaki , Shimizu Juichiro , Kubo Yuichiro , Tabata Nobuyuki , Aso Tomohiko 
Published: August 2022

Objectives
Breast cancers are classified as invasive or noninvasive based on histopathological findings. Although time-intensity curve (TIC) analysis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can differentiate benign from malignant disease, its diagnostic ability to quantitatively distinguish between invasive and noninvasive breast cancers has not been determined. In this study, we evaluated the ability of TIC analysis of dynamic MRI data (MRI-TIC) to distinguish between invasive and noninvasive breast cancers.

Material and Methods
We collected and analyzed data for 429 cases of epithelial invasive and noninvasive breast carcinomas. TIC features were extracted in washout areas suggestive of malignancy.

Results
The graph determining the positive diagnosis rate for invasive and noninvasive cases revealed that the cut-off θi/ni value was 21.6° (invasive: θw > 21.6°, noninvasive: θw ≤ 21.6°). Tissues were classified as invasive or noninvasive using this cut-off value, and each result was compared with the histopathological diagnosis. Using this method, the accuracy of tissue classification by MRI-TIC was 88.6% (380/429), which was higher than that using ultrasound (73.4%, 315/429).

Conclusion
MRI-TIC is effective for the classification of invasive vs. noninvasive breast cancer.

Published: August 2022

Background:
With the evolution of the endovascular devices, the management of endovascular interventions has become the current standard therapy for traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (TCCF). However, only endovascular treatment may not be feasible in some patients with atypical TCCF.

Case Description:
We described three complex TCCFs that could not be managed by conventional endovascular methods. The first patient had recurrent TCCF previously treated by muscle embolization and ligation of affected carotid arteries 23 years ago. Another two patients had TCCFs association with large pseudoaneurysm within the sphenoid sinus. In each patient, the fistula was successfully closed by trapping procedure using a combination of endovascular and surgical treatment.

Conclusion:
To reduce costs of treatment, trapping operation by combining surgical and endovascular treatment may be considered as an alternative option for complex TCCF which has some features including chronic stage, preexisting carotid artery ligation, or association with large venous pouch of the cavernous sinus or sphenoid sinus pseudoaneurysm.
Calvarial Langerhans cell histiocytosis in an adult presenting rapid growth
Authors: Sugiyama Hiroki , Tsutsumi Satoshi , Hashizume Akane , Kuroda Kiyotaka , Sugiyama Natsuki , Ueno Hideaki , Ishii Hisato 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) arising in the skull is rare in adulthood.

Case Description:
A 58-year-old woman experienced a durable headache. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at presentation showed no abnormalities; however, MRI and computed tomography (CT) performed 6 weeks later revealed the emergence of a well-demarcated, heterogeneously enhancing calvarial tumor accompanied by irregular-shaped bone erosion. On MRI, the temporalis muscle and subcutaneous tissue adjacent to the tumor were extensively swollen and enhanced. The patient underwent en bloc resection. The microscopic appearance of the tumor was consistent with that of LCH. Postoperative systemic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT did not detect any abnormal accumulation.

Conclusion:
LCH may develop within a short period. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis when a rapidly growing calvarial tumor is encountered, even when the patient is an adult. Prompt histological verification is recommended in such cases.

Authors: Takeuchi Shu , Hanakita Junya , Takahashi Toshiyuki , Minami Manabu , Kanematsu Ryo , Suda Izumi , Nakamura Sho 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare sterile inflammatory disease characterized by cutaneous and osteoarticular lesions. Associated spinal lesions chronically manifest slight or no neurological symptoms. Only rarely does destructive spondylodiscitis occur.

Case Description:
A 62-year-old female with palmoplantar pustulosis presented with a rapidly progressive quadriparesis. When the cervical MR showed destructive spondylodiscitis at the C5–C7 level, the patient underwent anterior debridement followed by posterior reconstruction/fixation. The histopathology showed a nonspecific inflammatory process with vertebral sclerosis consistent with the diagnosis of SAPHO; cultures were negative. Postoperatively, the patient’s symptoms improved and SAPHO did not recur.

Conclusion:
Destructive spondylodiscitis associated with SAPHO syndrome is uncommon. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment result in the best outcomes.

Measuring commute patterns over time: Using administrative data to identify where employees live and work

We	use	administrative and	survey data	in	the	Integrated	Data	Infrastructure	(IDI)	to allocate workers to	job	locations	(plants),	which	enables the	production	of	over	a	decade	of commute	distance	population	statistics for	New	Zealand	employees.

Abstract
Society, companies and institutions are involved in a digital transformation that can be pervaded in various industries or sectors, and this also applies to communication, sales and distribution channels. The possibilities of e-commerce have also increased and world trade has been further developed. In 2020, more than two billion people bought goods or services over the Internet. Customer satisfaction depends on the solution of the last mile process, the method of picking up shipments as well as the time and place of picking up the shipment. The most common forms of off-premises delivery are automated parcel locker or machine (APM) and pick-up and drop-off delivery (PUDO). The aim of the paper is to analyse the level of the PUDO and APM network in European countries and in the V4 countries with regard to the size of the country and the population. For this purpose, it was necessary to focus on determining the population per 1 PUDO and the number of inhabitants per 1 APM in individual European countries and subsequently in the V4 countries. The obtained data were processed and recalculated in Excel. The results showed that within European countries the best values were achieved by Finland with 526 inhabitants per 1 PUDO and Spain with 188 inhabitants per 1 APM. Regarding the V4 countries, the Czech Republic achieved the best value in the case of inhabitants on PUDO with 729 inhabitants per 1 PUDO and in the case of APM Poland with 3,184 inhabitants per 1 APM.

Abstract
Sustainable supplier development helps to improve mutually the supplier’s as well as the buying company sustainability performance. The producer could choose guidance, compliance or capacity building activities to develop its supplier or implement them all. This paper aims to present how the car producers practice sustainable supplier development taking into account different types of approaches and implementation tools. The authors applied content analysis to investigate approaches of six car producers from EU member states. The data was collected from the sustainability reports and complemented with the available information of the supplier sustainability requirements and the code of conduct of each car producer. The findings revealed that analysed car producers use similar approaches to develop their suppliers in the context of sustainability. All of them use mix of activities from all identified categories and collaborate within industry initiatives devoted to spread sustainability in supply chain.
