description: Compliance of fruits and vegetables with retail specifications, primarily in terms of aesthetic appeal in accordance with consumer standards, becomes one of the most pressing drivers of Food Loss and Waste, FLW. Almost a third of all fruit and vegetables produced in Europe are discarded each year due to their appearance. It is estimated that 51 million tonnes of ugly fruits and vegetables are wasted each year in Europe, mainly due to an overemphasis on aesthetic appearance as the primary quality standard for consumers.In Spain, some companies are emerging with a business model based on taking advantage of production losses (surpluses that cannot be sold in the usual channels and imperfect products discarded by distribution).

description: Background: The cost of interferon-free combination therapies remains high to provide widespread access to treatment, regardless of fibrosis stage. Aim: To estimate the cost–effectiveness of simeprevir/daclatasvir (SMV/DCV) therapy in treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C genotype-1b patients with moderate fibrosis. Methods: A Markov model was developed to simulate the natural history of chronic hepatitis C progression. The model estimated lifetime healthcare costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALY) for a cohort of patients from the Spanish National Healthcare System perspective. The cost–effectiveness threshold considered was €40,000/QALY. The treatment strategies analyzed were SMV/DCV, peginterferon/ribavirin/telaprevir, and peginterferon/ribavirin/boceprevir. A sensitivity analysis was carried out. Results: The incremental cost–effectiveness ratios of the SMV/DCV strategy were €23,774/QALY and €28,524/QALY compared with that of telaprevir or boceprevir triple therapy, respectively, for genotype-1b patients with moderate fibrosis. Conclusions: SMV/DCV combination compared with the standard of care previous to the arrival of second-generation direct-acting antivirals fell below generally accepted willingness-to-pay threshold. Results obtained should be supported by ongoing clinical trials.

description: Children born extremely preterm (EP) are at increased risk of neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and behavioural morbidity. Survival for EP babies has improved over the past three decades; however, it is not known whether neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and behavioural outcomes for EP children have changed over this time. This thesis addresses this by comparing the prevalence of attention, emotional, social, and behavioural problems and neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and behavioural disorders in two prospective national cohorts of children aged 11 years born EP in 1995 (EPICure) and 2006 (EPICure2), alongside contemporaneous term-born children.Behavioural problems were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), DuPaul Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ADHD RS) and Social Communication Questionnaire. In both cohorts, EP children had higher mean scores and more clinically significant difficulties than term-born children on almost all measures. There were no significant differences between EP children in the two cohorts in mean scores or the proportion of children with clinically significant difficulties after adjustment for confounders. Using contemporaneous term-born children as reference, EP children in EPICure2 had significantly higher SDQ total difficulties and ADHD RS hyperactivity-impulsivity z-scores than EP children in EPICure.The Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) was used to assign research diagnoses of neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and behavioural disorders. EP children in both cohorts were significantly more likely than term-born children to be assigned a diagnosis of any disorder, emotional disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. EP children in EPICure2 were also more likely to have conduct disorder than term-born children. There were no significant differences in the rates of any disorder between EP children in the two cohorts.Increased survival has not translated into improved neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and behavioural outcomes. Healthcare professionals and educators need to be aware of this ongoing risk and children born EP need long-term neurodevelopmental and psychological follow-up and support.

description: Viola cazorlensis is a South Iberian endemic (Spain), which is protected at European level, nationally as well as regionally, and considered vulnerable (VU) in accordance with IUCN criteria. This study has researched the genetic variability of seven representatives of V. cazorlensis populations, both inter- and intra-populationally, through the use of ISSR molecular markers and the sequencing of plastidial intergenic spacers. Results obtained from the ISSR markers indicate that these V. cazorlensis populations are not genetically impoverished, and that no clear genetic structure pattern exists. From the sequencing of plastidial intergenic spacers, the presence of different haplotypes has been observed, which becomes more evident as geographic distance among populations increases. Furthermore, there is a certain gene flow among them, more effective at a nuclear level, which could be mediated by Macroglossum stellatarum pollinator. The results obtained lead to the discussion of a series of conservation measures.

description: Computer games are fun, exciting and motivational when used as leisure pursuits. But do they have similar attributes when utilized for educational purposes? This article investigates whether learning by computer game can improve student experiences compared with a more formal lecture approach and whether computer games have potential for improving performance. Instruction was split between lectures and computer games, and student experiences were recorded using an Experience Sampling Method to capture real-time experience and feelings of flow. Results indicated that student experiences in the game mode showed increased alertness, increased feelings of being active, increased feelings of involvement and an increased perception of challenge. Flow characteristics revealed boredom during standard lectures but anxiety and flow during game modes. Finally, some evidence of improved attainment was evident. By using contemporary interactive approaches such as computer games, student learning experiences and attainment may be improved. Some practical issues of implementing games are also discussed.

description: Objectives: A scoping review focused on background sounds and adult hearing-aid users, including aspects of aversiveness and interference. The aim was to establish the current body of knowledge, identify knowledge gaps, and to suggest possible future directions for research. Design: Data were gathered using a systematic search strategy, consistent with scoping review methodology. Study sample: Searches of public databases between 1988 and 2014 returned 1182 published records. After exclusions for duplicates and out-of- scope works, 75 records remained for further analysis. Content analysis was used to group the records into five separate themes. Results: Content analysis indicated numerous themes relating to background sounds. Five broad emergent themes addressed the development and validation of outcome instruments, satisfaction surveys, assessments of hearing-aid technology and signal processing, acclimatization to the device post-fitting, and non-auditory influences on benefit and satisfaction. Conclusions: A large proportion of hearing-aid users still find particular hearing-aid features and attributes dissatisfying when listening in background sounds. Many conclusions are limited by methodological drawbacks in study design and too many different outcome instruments. Future research needs to address these issues, while controlling for hearing-aid fitting.

description: Objective. The present, preliminary study was designed to investigate whether the results of the use of a detailed assessment protocol ad modum the Mayo Clinic rating of dysarthria and that of a more general assessment protocol, corresponding to ratings of deviances of the different speech production processes, differed primarily in terms of reliability. Patients and methods. Recordings of text readings of 20 patients with various degrees and types of dysarthria were assessed using both protocols by five clinicians with extensive experience in assessment of neurogenic communication disorders, and results from both assessments were compared. Results. The general assessment protocol was carried out with higher intra- and inter-rater reliability compared with the detailed assessment protocol. Perceptual deviations were identified in the same domains using both protocols, although only the more detailed protocol could be used to specify particular audible symptoms. Monotony, imprecise consonants, and harsh voice were the most prominent deviations identified with the detailed protocol. Conclusion. It is concluded that a general assessment protocol is sufficient to identify problem areas reliably and indicate severity of dysarthria but needs to be complemented with a short description of the most prominent audible symptoms and an assessment of intelligibility.

description: In complex, high consequence environments such as aviation, the capacity to acquire, integrate, and respond to task-related cues is critical for accurate situation assessment and to avoid plan-continuation errors. The aim of the present study was to establish whether differences in performance on a series of aviation-related, cue-based tasks corresponded to differences in decision selection during simulated pre-flight and in-flight weather-related decision-making. In Phase 1 (pre-flight decisions), 57 participants were categorised into one of two typologies based on their performance on the cue-based tasks. These typologies reflected behaviour that was consistent with relatively greater or lesser levels of cue utilisation, and corresponded to whether the pilots elected to make an immediate decision or wait for additional information during a simulated pre-flight decision task. In Phase 2, a cohort of 20 pilots was selected on the basis that they represented one of the two cue-based typologies established in Phase 1. They undertook a simulated flight during which the weather conditions deteriorated progressively en-route. Those pilots who demonstrated a relatively greater level of cue utilisation were more likely to continue the flight as planned, while those pilots who demonstrated a relatively lesser level of cue utilisation were more likely to descend or divert from the planned track. The implications are discussed in terms of targeted training and explanations of plan-continuation errors in the context of weather-related decision-making.

description: In this paper, we present a social context as a service (SCaaS) platform for managing adaptations in collaborative pervasive applications that support interactions among a dynamic group of actors such as users, stakeholders, infrastructure services, businesses and so on. Such interactions are based on predefined agreements and constraints that characterize the relationships between the actors and are modeled with the notion of social context. In complex and changing environments, such interaction relationships, and thus social contexts, are also subject to change. In existing approaches, the relationships among actors are not modeled explicitly, and instead are often hard-coded into the application. Furthermore, these approaches do not provide adequate adaptation support for such relationships as the changes occur in user requirements and environments. In our approach, inter-actor relationships in an application are modeled explicitly using social contexts, and their execution environment is generated and adaptations are managed by the SCaaS platform. The key features of our approach include externalization of the interaction relationships from the applications, representation and modeling of such relationships from a domain and actor perspectives, their implementation using a service oriented paradigm, and support for their runtime adaptation. We quantify the platform's adaptation overhead and demonstrate its feasibility and applicability by developing a telematics application that supports cooperative convoy.
Triggering Rogue Waves in Opposing Currents

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We show that rogue waves can be triggered naturally when a stable wave train enters a region of an opposing current flow. We demonstrate that the maximum amplitude of the rogue wave depends on the ratio between the current velocity, Uo, and the wave group velocity, Cg. We also reveal that an opposing current can force the development of rogue waves in random wave fields, resulting in a substantial change of the statistical properties of the surface elevation. The present results can be directly adopted in any field of physics in which the focusing Nonlinear Schrodinger equation with non constant coefficient is applicable. In particular, nonlinear optics laboratory experiments are natural candidates for verifying experimentally our results.

description: Down-looking laser altimeters are commonly used to measure the sea surface elevation. However, because the laser radiation is attenuated by spray droplets suspended along the transmission path, it is presumed that altimeters may also provide an indirect measure of the sea spray volume. Here we discuss this conjecture by means of laboratory experiments, which have been conducted in a wind-wave flume. A large number of wind conditions were considered between equivalent 10-metre wind speeds of 20 and 60 m/s in order to generate different spray volumes above the water surface. The facility was equipped with a laser and side-looking camera system to estimate the spray volume as well as a nearby down-looking laser altimeter. Results confirm that there is a robust degradation of the laser intensity for increasing wind speed and hence amount of spray droplets above the water surface. A simple regression model to extract spray volume from the average intensity of the laser radiation is presented, demonstrating the promise of laser altimeters for making in-situ spray observations. Additional observations will be required to calibrate the altimeters for applications in the open ocean marine environment.

description: The effectiveness of testing is a major determinant of software quality. It is believed that individual testers vary in their effectiveness, but so far the factors contributing to this variation have not been well studied. In this study, we examined whether personality traits, as described by the five-factor model, affect performance on a software testing task. ICT students were given a small software testing task at which their effectiveness was assessed using several different criteria, including bug location rate, weighted fault density, and bug report quality. Their personality was assessed using the NEO PI-3 personality questionnaire. We then compared testing performance according to individual and aggregate measures against different five-factor personality traits. Several weak correlations between two of these personality traits, extraversion and conscientiousness, and testing effectiveness were found.

description: Traceability benchmarks are essential for the evaluation of traceability recovery techniques. This includes the validation of an individual traceability technique itself and the objective comparison of the technique with other traceability techniques. However, it is generally acknowledged that it is a real challenge for researchers to obtain or build meaningful and robust benchmarks. This is because of the difficulty of obtaining or creating suitable benchmarks. In this paper, we describe an approach to enable researchers to establish affordable and robust benchmarks. We have designed rigorous manual identification and verification strategies to determine whether or not a link is correct. We have developed a formula to calculate the probability of errors in benchmarks. Analysis of error probability results shows that our approach can produce high quality benchmarks, and our strategies significantly reduce error probability in them.

description: Abstract

This research aims to describe the form and meaning of nicknames among the people of Anduring Village, West Sumatra. To discuss this study, semantic theory is used to elaborate what kind of meaning reflected from the nicknames as the data sources. This study uses a qualitative method. Data was collected by using interviews with informants or language consultants in the loci. The results of the data analysis show that the nicknames of people in Anduring Village are very diverse which consist of one, two, and three words. Most of which are nouns and adjectives. From this study, it was found that nicknames are influenced by some factors or features, namely: a person's unique characteristics, for example, Buduik, Pik Lepak, and Uwis BG; certain events or occurrences, for example, Ujang Baygon and Siso Labi; birth and place of residence, for example, Uwar Pagai and Aceh; body condition or speech organs, for example, Pak Apuk, Anjang, Andah, and Pik Beloh; parents' names, for example, Pik Saga and Pik Unguh; shortening or abbreviation, for example, Uwis BG and Kd (Kudau); and imitation of sounds, for example, Pak Epap, Si Ir Lulul, and Pami Redo.
Cosmography of the minimally extended Varying Speed of Light Model

description: Cosmography, as an integral branch of cosmology, strives to characterize the Universe without relying on pre-determined cosmological models. This model-independent approach utilizes Taylor series expansions around the current epoch, providing a direct correlation with cosmological observations and the potential to constrain theoretical models. Cosmologists can describe many measurable aspects of cosmology by using various combinations of cosmographic parameters. The varying speed of light model can be naturally implemented, provided that we do not make any further assumptions from the Robertson-Walker metric for cosmological time dilation. Therefore, we apply cosmography to the so-called minimally extended varying speed of light model. In this case, other cosmographic parameters can be used to construct the Hubble parameter for both the standard model and the varying speed-of-light model. On the other hand, distinct combinations of cosmographic values for the luminosity distance indicate the two models. Hence, luminosity distance might provide a method to constrain the parameters in varying speed-of-light models.

description: ABSTRACTOver the last 25 years the Italian national geological mapping program of the Italian Geological Survey (CARG Project, italian: Progetto Carta Geologica) at 1:50,000 scale has led to significant improvements in the geological knowledge for the Island of Sardinia (Italy). As a result, about one half of the island now is covered by new geological maps with 1:10,000–1:25,000 accuracy and geological maps at the 1:50,000 scale whose explanatory notes are available electronically. At the beginning of the CARG Project a geological map for Sardinia Island at 1:200,000 scale was published [Carmignani, L. (1996). Carta Geologica della Sardegna (1:200.000). Servizio Geologico Nazionale, Regione Autonoma della Sardegna], summarizing all the geological information available at that time, and a book with explanatory notes for the map was later published [Carmignani, L., Oggiano, G., Barca, S., Conti, P., Salvadori, I., Eltrudis, … Pasci, S. (2001). Geologia della Sardegna: Note Illustrative della Carta Geologica della Sardegna in scala 1:200.000, Memorie Descrittive della Carta Geologica d'Italia (Vol. 60). Roma: Servizio Geologico d'Italia, 283 pp]. The enclosed Geological map of Sardinia at 1:250,000 scale incorporates all maps of the CARG Project, unpublished author studies and recently published maps and represents the most updated synthesis of an area characterised by a complex geological evolution that, with few exceptions, can be considered continuous during the last 540 Ma. The main events that influenced the geology of the island are the Variscan orogen that deeply involved the passive margin of North Gondwana and then the complex episodes that occurred in the present-day Mediterranean area after the accretion of Pangea up to the opening of the Tyrrhenian basin.

description: As dynamic kernel runtime objects are a significant source of security and reliability problems in Operating Systems (OSes), having a complete and accurate understanding of kernel dynamic data layout in memory becomes crucial. In this paper, we address the problem of systemically uncovering all OS dynamic kernel runtime objects, without any prior knowledge of the OS kernel data layout in memory. We present a new hybrid approach to uncover kernel runtime objects with nearly complete coverage, high accuracy and robust results against generic pointer exploits. We have implemented a prototype of our approach and conducted an evaluation of its efficiency and effectiveness. To demonstrate our approach's potential, we have also developed three different proof-of-concept OS security tools using it.

description: Requirements are typically modelled in natural language, leading to inconsistencies, incompleteness and incorrectness due to inherent natural language ambiguities and lack of precise modelling rules. In previous work, we developed a technique and toolset to support extraction of requirements from English text and supporting semi-formal modelling and roundtrip refinement using Essential use cases, helping to mitigate some of these problems. In this paper we describe new work applying this human-centric approach to requirements engineering to the Malay language. We describe an extension of our original Essential Use Cases toolset to support requirements modelling in the Malay language essential interaction modelling, and results of a preliminary experiment to gauge our tool's effectiveness in supporting Malay natural language extraction and round-trip requirements refinement.

description: Objective:To evaluate changes in glycemic control following the initial canagliflozin pharmacy claim in a real-world population.Research design and methods:A retrospective cohort analysis of adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was conducted using 2013 medical, pharmacy and laboratory claims from the Inovalon MORE2 Registry. Patients with T2DM aged ≥18 years with ≥60 days of canagliflozin supply and HbA1c test results within 120 days before and ≥60 days after initial canagliflozin claim (defined as index date) were included. The differences between HbA1c levels pre- and post-index were assessed. Changes pre- and post-index in Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) glycemic control criteria of HbA1c <7% and <8% and poor control of HbA1c >9% were evaluated. Subgroup analyses of patients with HbA1c >7% at baseline and patients aged ≥65 were also conducted.Results:Among the 268 patients meeting the study criteria, mean HbA1c pre-index was 8.3% and post-index was 7.6%; the mean reduction in HbA1c pre–post index was 0.7% (95% CI: 0.6%, 0.9%). The proportions of patients meeting the HEDIS glycemic control measures (HbA1c <7%, <8% and poor control of >9%) improved and was significantly different pre- and post-index (all p 7% prior to index (81% of the cohort; mean pre-index HbA1c = 8.8%), HbA1c was reduced by 0.9% (95% CI: 0.8%, 1.1%). The aged ≥65 subgroup consisted of 15% of the cohort, with a pre-index HbA1c of 8.3%. The mean reduction in HbA1c test results pre- and post-canagliflozin index was 0.6% (95% CI: 0.4%, 0.9%). This analysis did not adjust for changes in antihyperglycemic agents during the study period.Conclusion:Patients with T2DM were observed to have improved glycemic control following initial canagliflozin pharmacy claim as measured by HbA1c change and attainment of specific glycemic control criteria.
Influence of α‐Precipitate Orientation and Distribution on the Deformation Behavior of the Additively Manufactured Metastable β‐Titanium Alloy Ti‐5553 Assessed by Cyclic Nanoindentation

description: The metastable β-titanium alloy Ti–5Al–5V–5Mo–3Cr (Ti-5553) has recently found growing interest as medical implant material due to its advantageous mechanical properties when compared to the up-to-date standard alloys. Besides biocompatibility, implant materials need to exhibit sufficient fatigue resistance. Herein, cyclic nanoindentation is applied up to a maximum cycle number of 105 to elucidate the influence of the local phase distribution on the cyclic deformation behavior of Ti-5553, made by laser powder bed fusion of metals (LPBF-M), in the (α + β)-solution annealed state. By combining the localized cyclic mechanical loading and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, the influence of the presence and orientation of αp-precipitates within the β-grains on the cyclic deformation behavior and mechanisms is unraveled. αp-phase orientation and distribution significantly contribute to the effectiveness of the precipitates as barriers to dislocation motion. A high density and trapping of dislocations are observed at α/β interfaces. The occurrence and size of the pile-up surrounding the indents are correlated with the cyclic deformation behavior, and, thus, with the presence of αp-precipitates. The gained improved knowledge of the phase-dependent deformation behavior helps to better understand the fatigue performance of this alloy also on the macroscale.
