Authors: Padiyar Raghavendra D. 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to understand the citizen perception of quality of service with respect to the Government’s citizen service delivery system of Karnataka and conduct an investigation to determine the major factors which affect the quality of Government service delivery system in the state of Karnataka in India.

Design/methodology/approach
Primary data related to variables affecting citizen service satisfaction are collected using a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was designed based on literature review and consulting officers associated with public service delivery system in the state of Karnataka.

Findings
The study found that the five factors “Responsiveness,” “Tangibility,” “Predictability,” “Reliability” and “Perceptiveness” are primary determinants of the quality of citizen/government services.

Research limitations/implications
Right to Service Act has been adapted by 24 states and 5 union territories in India. It is highly impossible to study the progress of Right to Service Act in each and every state of India. In this paper, the author has made a detailed study of state of Karnataka, which has the highest in-time service disposition rate −95.06%, highest number of institutions −99 and highest number of services −1,115 services under Right to Service Act in India and generalized the results for other states.

Practical implications
This research enables government institutions/organizations to enhance their understanding of citizen service quality and perception of government services. The citizen satisfaction gauging parameters can provide useful direction to the design, implementation and management of government services.

Social implications
Government/citizen services include services provided by each and every department of the government. The services covered here begin from birth of individual as birth certificate service till the death of individual which includes death certificate, and in between this life cycle of an individual, important events such as service related to caste certificate, marriage certificate, service verification for job, property or Khatha certificate are included under government services, covering services related to all the major events of one’s life. The improved level of service quality can enhance service satisfaction among citizens resulting in good governance.

Originality/value
The paper addresses quality of Government services for the first time in the state of Karnataka, India using a carefully designed research study. This paper is of value to research scholars in the area of government service quality in India and other countries where government services are delivered either under Right to Services Act, in stipulated time frame or through citizen charters.
Safety‐net hospital performance under Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement
Authors: Carey Kathleen , Lin Meng‐Yun 
Published: July 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the relative progress of safety‐net hospitals (SNHs) under Medicare's Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) mandatory bundled payment model over 2016–2020 and to identify the contributors to SNHs’ realization of success under the program.Data Sources/Study SettingSecondary data on all CJR hospitals were collected from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) public use files and from the American Hospital Association.Study DesignWe addressed whether SNHs can achieve progress in financial performance under CJR by focusing on the relative change in reconciliation payments or the difference between episode spending and target prices. We applied the method of dominance analysis to ordinary least squares regression to determine the relative importance of predictors of change in reconciliation payments over time.Principal FindingsCompared to CJR hospitals overall, SNHs were less successful in meeting episode spending targets. Hospital factors dominated socioeconomic factors in explaining progress among SNHs, but not among non‐SNHs. The contribution of nurse staffing was negligible across all CJR hospitals.ConclusionsThe formula used by CMS to determine spending targets may not be sufficient to address disparities in SNH financial performance under mandatory bundled payment.

AbstractIn order to establish a strategy for controlling pests living in trees and causing damage, injected entomopathogenic fungal conidia suspension of Beauveria bassiana into a four‐year‐old Canary Island date palm, Phoenix canariensis. As a result, B. bassiana Bb‐egfp#3 expressing green fluorescent protein was dispersed from the injection site to the top and bottom of the tree. To evaluate the insecticidal activity of the Bb‐egfp#3 injected into the tree, we released mealworm larvae (Tenebrio molitor) on the ground palm tree sample that was injected with the conidia suspension. As a result, mycosis caused by the injected Bb‐egfp#3 in the trees was generated in all cadavers. This study suggests the possibility of establishing a new control strategy against tree pests by injecting an entomopathogenic fungal conidia suspension into trees.
Optimization technology and kinetic studies of Acer truncatum seed oil saponification and crystallization separation of nervonic acid
Authors: Li Yang , Kong Fan , Zan Mingyang , Peng Liping , Wang Zhanzhong , Shu Qingyan 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAcer truncatum seed oil (ATSO) contains abundant unsaturated fatty acids, with significant quantities of nervonic acid (NA, > 5%), which was authenticated as a new food resource in China. For the sake of minimizing animal consumption and the importance of NA for human health, extraction of NA from plants has become a research hotspot. In the present study, three extraction factors were determined to significantly influence the saponification reaction based on single‐factor experiments: NaOH dosage, reaction time, and reaction temperature. These three factors were used to further optimize the saponification process through the response surface methodology, and the highest yield of mixed fatty acids was 83.12%. Moreover, the activation energy (40.8228 kJ/mol), the pre‐exponential factor [2.568 × 106 m3/(kmol·min)], and the kinetic equation [rA = kcAcB = 2.568 × 106·exp(–cAcB] of the ATSO saponification reaction were determined by combining the chemical reaction rate equation of the elementary reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and the NaOH concentration in the substrate. Finally, the mixed fatty acids of ATSO were crystallized by triple‐stage low‐temperature crystallization, and we achieved 25.05% purity for NA. This study provides a technological basis and strategy for specific fatty acid production from ASTO, as well as other vegetable oils important in the field of food and health supplement products.Practical ApplicationNervonic acid (NA) is an essential component of neural cells and neural tissue, and it is vital for maintaining the normal work of nerve tissues in organisms and promotes neurodevelopment. NA has traditionally been mainly obtained from shark hunting, which is now restricted due to an international ban on shark fishing. The alternative way to produce NA cheaply and in large quantities is from plant sources. The techniques utilized in this study provide an effective method of NA separation from Acer truncatum seed oil for industrial production.

Published: July 2022

AbstractObjectiveDeaf and hard‐of‐hearing (DHH) patients are understudied in emergency medicine health services research. Theory and limited evidence suggest that DHH patients are at higher risk of emergency department (ED) utilization and poorer quality of care. This study assessed ED condition acuity, length of stay (LOS), and acute ED revisits among DHH patients. We hypothesized that DHH patients would experience poorer ED care outcomes.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review of a single health care system using data from a large academic medical center in the southeast United States. Data were received from the medical center's data office, and we sampled patients and encounters from between June 2011 and April 2020. We compared DHH American Sign Language (ASL) users (n = 108), DHH English speakers (n = 358), and non‐DHH English speakers (n = 302). We used multilevel modeling to assess the differences among patient segments in outcomes related to ED use and care.ResultsAs hypothesized, DHH ASL users had longer ED LOS than non‐DHH English speakers, on average 30 min longer. Differences in ED condition acuity, measured through Emergency Severity Index and triage pain scale, were not statistically significant. DHH English speakers represented a majority (61%) of acute ED revisit encounters.ConclusionsOur study identified that DHH ASL users have longer ED LOS than non‐DHH English speakers. Additional research is needed to further explain the association between DHH status and ED care outcomes (including ED LOS and acute revisit), which may be used to identify intervention targets to improve health equity.

Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundIndividual variation in the physiological response to alcohol is predictive of an individual's likelihood to develop alcohol use disorder (AUD). Evidence from diverse model organisms indicates that the levels of long‐chain polyunsaturated omega‐3 fatty acids (ω‐3 LC‐PUFAs) can modulate the behavioral response to ethanol and therefore may impact the propensity to develop AUD. While most ω‐3 LC‐PUFAs come from diet, humans can produce these fatty acids from shorter chain precursors through a series of enzymatic steps. Natural variation in the genes encoding these enzymes has been shown to affect ω‐3 LC‐PUFA levels. We hypothesized that variation in these genes could contribute to the susceptibility to develop AUD.MethodsWe identified nine genes (FADS1, FADS2, FADS3, ELOVL2, GCKR, ELOVL1, ACOX1, APOE, and PPARA) that are required to generate ω‐3 LC‐PUFAs and/or have been shown or predicted to affect ω‐3 LC‐PUFA levels. Using both set‐based and gene‐based analyses we examined their association with AUD and two AUD‐related phenotypes, alcohol consumption, and an externalizing phenotype.ResultsWe found that the set of nine genes is associated with all three phenotypes. When examined individually, GCKR, FADS2, and ACOX1 showed significant association signals with alcohol consumption. GCKR was significantly associated with AUD. ELOVL1 and APOE were associated with externalizing.ConclusionsTaken together with observations that dietary ω‐3 LC‐PUFAs can affect ethanol‐related phenotypes, this work suggests that these fatty acids provide a link between the environmental and genetic influences on the risk of developing AUD.
Right subclavian vein approach for selective left bundle branch pacing: A case report

Published: July 2022

AbstractWe reported a 65‐year‐old man with symptomatic bradycardia caused by chronic atrial fibrillation who underwent pacemaker implantation by left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) via right subclavian vein (RSV) approach. A tricuspid valve annulus (TVA) angiography was performed, and a different connecting cable that can monitor electrocardiograms (ECG) and intracardiac electrograms (EGM) in real time was used during the process. By TVA angiography, we could easily find the ideal location of LBBP; a new connecting cable helped us avoid perforation and guide effective endpoint without the need to stop pacing. The case showed that it was feasible and safe to use the new method for LBBP through RSV route.
Direct evidence of the use of beehive products in pre‐Roman Sardinia

Published: July 2022

AbstractWritten sources and iconographic evidence suggest that honey and beehive products, used in culinary, medicinal, and technological functions since pre‐Neolithic times, were likely known and used in Phoenician and Punic Sardinia. The role of these resources is nonetheless poorly understood because no direct evidence survives on a macroscopic level. Significant advances in the knowledge about beeswax and beehive products processing in the past have been offered in recent decades by organic residue analyses (ORA), an approach that enables the characterisation of surviving chemical compounds or suites of compounds that provide information relating to human activity in the past. The relatively recalcitrant nature of lipid compounds comprising beeswax means that this commodity is among the products that can be unambiguously identified through ORA. Here we present and discuss the results of analyses undertaken on 368 pottery sherds from Phoenician and Punic Sardinia (eighth to third century BCE). These analyses offer direct evidence for the presence of beehive products on the island, suggesting the use of honey for culinary purposes in pots, and possibly connecting one specific vessel category with beeswax decanting during beekeeping and honey production processes. Our results also now clearly illustrate the widespread use of beehive products in pre‐Roman Sardinia.
Effects of land use and climate change on functional and phylogenetic diversity of terrestrial vertebrates in a Himalayan biodiversity hotspot

Published: July 2022

AbstractAimThe synergy between human land use and climate change is accelerating the global decline of biodiversity. In the fragile Himalayas, this trend has a strong ecological impact on wildlife communities, and a better understanding is needed to discern changes in the mechanisms. This study aims to understand the effects of land use and climate change on the functional (FD) and phylogenetic diversity (PD) of mammal and bird communities across the land use gradient.LocationEastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, Bhutan.MethodsMammal data were gathered from a camera trap survey and bird data from point counts. We used morphological and ecological traits of 45 mammal species and 336 bird species to construct functional trait space. We quantified FD and PD using standardized effect size of functional richness, functional dispersion, mean pairwise distance and mean nearest taxon distance. We used linear regression to evaluate the relationship between FD and PD and land use/climate variables.ResultsThe functional space of mammals was structured by body mass (small–large) and diet (herbivore–carnivore) as one major axis, and habitat breadth (generalist‐specialist) as the other, whereas bird functional space was structured by beak shape and size (large and long–small and short), body mass (small–large), foraging strata (canopy–ground) and diet (ectotherm–scavenge) along four axes. Land use (agriculture and road) negatively affected mammal FD, whereas both land use (tree cover and built‐up area) and climate (temperature and precipitation) affected PD, although the effects were highly variable. Climate (temperature) had a pronounced negative effect on bird FD while land use (agriculture, built‐up area and settlement) on PD.Main conclusionsThe realized functional space of the vertebrate groups can be represented by different planes on which species are clumped around a small number of functional strategies. The loss of species at the edge of functional space is non‐random and could result in the loss of irreplaceable traits impacting long‐term ecological and evolutionary processes. Our study demonstrates the filtering effect of anthropogenic pressure and climate change on vertebrate FD and PD. However, the association with land use suggests the potential for ecosystem services (particularly by birds). Our findings reveal nuances of dimensions of biodiversity and provide novel insights into the structure and drivers of vertebrate assemblages in the eastern Himalayas.

AbstractObjetivoExaminar a relação entre o uso da mão de assistência em atividades bimanuais e o desempenho de crianças nas atividades e tarefas de autocuidado.MétodoAnalisamos retrospectivamente dados da funcionalidade diária (Inventário de Avaliação Pediátrica de Incapacidade [PEDI]) e do desempenho bimanual (Avaliação da Mão de Assistência [AHA]) de 112 crianças (idade média: 8 anos 10 meses [DP 2 anos 1 mês], amplitude 3 anos 7 meses–17 anos 4 meses; 66 meninos, 46 meninas) com paralisia cerebral (PC) unilateral espástica. Nós usamos análise Rasch para examinar a relação entre os escores individuais nos itens do AHA e nos itens de autocuidado (habilidades funcionais e assistência do cuidador) do PEDI.ResultadosA maioria das habilidades funcionais e das tarefas de assistência do cuidador de autocuidado ficaram localizadas no meio do contínuo unidimensional. Estes itens apresentaram níveis de dificuldade semelhantes aos itens do AHA relacionados à coordenação efetiva das duas mãos, cadência, e uso da mão de assistência para estabilizar e soltar objetos, bem como variações nos movimentos dos braços.InterpretaçãoA distribuição dos itens de autocuidado do PEDI e itens do AHA ao longo do contínuo unidimensional ilustra a relação entre o uso da mão de assistência e o desempenho bimanual em autocuidado. Interpretação sobre a localização dos itens na hierarquia do contínuo unidimensional pode ajudar no raciocínio clínico dos terapeutas e na sugestão de objetivos de intervenção para melhorar a função manual e a funcionalidade diária de crianças com PC unilateral espástica. Tais aplicações necessitam de investigação futura.

AbstractMethodological aspects and effects of different imaging parameters on DTI (diffusion tensor imaging) results and their reproducibility have been recently studied comprehensively in adult populations. Although MR imaging of children's brains has become common, less interest has been focussed on researching whether adult‐based optimised parameters and pre‐processing protocols can be reliably applied to paediatric populations. Furthermore, DTI scalar values of preschool aged children are rarely reported. We gathered a DTI dataset from 5‐year‐old children (N = 49) to study the effect of the number of diffusion‐encoding directions on the reliability of resultant scalar values with TBSS (tract‐based spatial statistics) method. Additionally, the potential effect of within‐scan head motion on DTI scalars was evaluated. Reducing the number of diffusion‐encoding directions deteriorated both the accuracy and the precision of all DTI scalar values. To obtain reliable scalar values, a minimum of 18 directions for TBSS was required. For TBSS fractional anisotropy values, the intraclass correlation coefficient with two‐way random‐effects model (ICC[2,1]) for the subsets of 6 to 66 directions ranged between 0.136 [95%CI 0.0767;0.227] and 0.639 [0.542;0.740], whereas the corresponding values for subsets of 18 to 66 directions were 0.868 [0.815;0.913] and 0.995 [0.993;0.997]. Following the exclusion of motion‐corrupted volumes, minor residual motion did not associate with the scalar values. A minimum of 18 diffusion directions is recommended to result in reliable DTI scalar results with TBSS. We suggest gathering extra directions in paediatric DTI to enable exclusion of volumes with motion artefacts and simultaneously preserve the overall data quality.
Tracking lexical access and code switching in multilingual participants with different degrees of simultaneous interpretation expertise

Published: July 2022

AbstractWith the worldwide increase in people speaking more than one language, a better understanding of the behavioural and neural mechanisms governing lexical selection, lexical access in multiple languages and code switching has attracted widespread interest from several disciplines. Previous studies documented higher costs when processing a non‐native (L2) than a native (L1) language or when switching from L2 to L1. However, studies on auditory language reception are still scarce and did not take into account the degree of switching experience. Accordingly, in the present study, we combined behavioural and electrophysiological measurements to assess lexical access in L1 and L2 as well as code switching in professional simultaneous interpreters, trainee interpreters, foreign language teachers and Anglistics students, while the participants performed a bilingual auditory lexical decision task. The purpose of this study was to expand the knowledge on code switching in auditory language processing and examine whether the degree of simultaneous interpretation experience might reduce switching costs. As a main result, we revealed that L2 compared to L1 trials, as well as switch compared to non‐switch trials, generally resulted in lower accuracies, longer reaction times and increased N400 amplitudes in all groups of participants. Otherwise, we did not reveal any influence of switching direction and interpretation expertise on N400 parameters. Taken together, these results suggest that a late age of L2 acquisition leads to switching costs, irrespective of proficiency level. Furthermore, we provided first evidence that simultaneous interpretation training does not diminish switching costs, at least when focusing on lexical access.
