Indicators for managing human centred manufacturing

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Establishing indicators for managing human factors (HF) aspects in the design of production systems remains a challenge. We address the problem in two dimensions – firstly, what aspects of HF are to be considered, and secondly, where in the development process HF is to be measured. In these dimensions a large number of HF metrics are possible in the perceptual, cognitive, physical and psychosocial domains of HF. The relevance of these measures to injury, productivity, quality and organizational strategy continue to be poorly understood. From this perspective we make propositions on the need for: 1) strategic HF metrics selection, 2) metrics application throughout the development process, 3) predictive ‘virtual’ HF metrics approaches, 4) metrics based design guidelines, 5) connecting metrics with design choices and strategies, 6) integrating HF metrics within existing approaches, 7) continuous improvement of the metrics system, and 8) the need to evaluate metrics system quality.

Ampicillin-Resistant Hemophilus influenzae From Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Since 1973, ampicillin-resistant isolates of nontypeable Hemophilus influenzae have increased in prevalence and clinical significance. Previous reports, however, have primarily been restricted to otitis media. 1,2 Hemophilus influenzae frequently colonizes the respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis and chronic bronchitis, and ampicillin-resistant strains of H influenzae have been isolated from patients with chronic bronchitis. 3,4 As bronchopulmonary infection is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis, 5 the occurrence of drug-resistant potential pathogens in this patient population is of importance. We retrospectively review the incidence of ampicillin-resistant strains of H influenzae and other Hemophilus species isolated from the sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Md, from January 1977 to June 1981. Methods and Materials .—All results were retrieved by computer, using the Clinical Information Utility System at the Clinical Center of the NIH. Sputum was
[A Case of Concurrent Cancer of the Esophagus and Stomach with Severe Sepsis following Chemotherapy].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 66-year-old man was diagnosed with synchronous early esophageal cancer and advanced gastric cancer. He received CDDP-based combination chemotherapy (docetaxcel, CDDP, and TS-1). During chemotherapy for gastric cancer, he suddenly developed septic shock, requiring intensive treatment with antibiotics, intravenous immunoglobulin, circulatory and respiratory care, and hemoperfusion with a polymyxin B column. He also had disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), complicated by sepsis. Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) was administered to treat DIC. The intensive treatments described above allowed the patient to recover from septic shock and DIC several days later. Early and adequate treatment could be used to rescue a compromised cancer-bearing patient from septic shock following chemotherapy.
Simulation study on speed control of permanent magnet direct-driven system for mining scraper conveyor

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A simulation method of speed control based on the load characteristic of the permanent magnet direct-driven system is presented for mining scraper conveyor. Firstly, the mathematical model of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is established based on the coordinate transformation theory. Subsequently, the closed loop speed controller of permanent magnet direct-driven systems is designed on the basis of sliding mode control theory and motor model. The chain characteristics of scraper conveyor are described by Kelvin-Vogit model, and the dynamic model of the overall scraper conveyor system is established with distinct element method. Then, according to the coupling relationship between the permanent magnet direct-driven system and the scraper conveyor, the simulation model of the scraper conveyor is established by using MATLAB/Simulink module. The simulation results demonstrate that the permanent magnet direct-driven system can realise smooth starting of the scraper conveyor, and the random load and polygonal sprocket wheel can influence the stability of speed control system.
Gun Control Policy Preference in Context: A Contextually Sensitive Model of Gun Control Policy Preferences

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Using data from the 2000 American National Election Study and the Uniform Crime Reports, this research studies the impact of core values and contextual effects on gun control policy preferences. The research seeks to produce a contextually sensitive model of gun control policy preferences that accounts for the nature of the elite message war regarding the issue of gun control and for both long and short-term contextual factors that might sway individual opinions at the point of stimulus (e.g., the survey question). While the analysis does find conditioning effects, the effects do not conform to the theoretical expectations, and they are generally weaker than expected. In contrast, the research demonstrates the strong connections that formed in the publicâ€™s mind between ideological, partisan and gender-based core values and gun control policy preferences. These results are consistent with research that found the effects of political messages often vary in counterintuitive ways due to variance in the strength of the message and political awareness (Zaller 1992). Replicating this research across various time periods permits the investigation of the decay rate of impacts on individual policy preferences created by substantial, one-time contextual effects. It may be that contextual effects have a substantial impact in the short-term, but these short-term impacts are mitigated over the longterm by continual reinforcement of the basic themes employed by elites in the message war surrounding the issue.

Mechanism-controlled thermomechanical treatment of high manganese steels

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Austenitic high manganese steels exhibit outstanding mechanical properties, such as high energy absorption, owing to various deformation-mechanisms such as dislocation slip, twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) and transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP). Here, we show a novel thermomechanical treatment to manufacture a high manganese steel Fe–18Mn-0.3C (wt.-%) with excellent mechanical performance by combining these three deformation-mechanisms. This process of mechanism-controlled rolling resulted in ultra-high tensile strength of the high manganese steel up to 1.6 GPa, simultaneously with uniform elongations up to 15%. A thermomechanical process was developed to establish this combination of properties. Warm rolling was conducted at 200 °C, to suppress TRIP and activate TWIP as deformation mechanism. Thus, a high density of deformation twins and dislocations was introduced to the microstructure, avoiding martensite formation. During a subsequent recovery annealing at 520 °C or 550 °C, the dislocation density was reduced, yet the high density of deformation twins was preserved. The combination of warm rolling and recovery annealing resulted in an ultrafine microstructure with a high density of twins and moderate density of dislocations. The TRIP effect is predominant during plastic deformation at ambient conditions in the highly twinned microstructure. The resulting steel exhibits an ultra-high yield strength and sufficient ductility, favorable properties for lightweight construction in automotive or aerospace industry.
Integrated Framework for Safety Management and Software-Assisted Safety Assessment in Fluid Production

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In the factory of the future, the concept of fluid production allows production processes to be adapted more frequently and efficiently to fulfill rapidly-changing product requirements and to prevail in an increasingly challenging market environment. Production resources, machinery and humans are integrated seamlessly to achieve common production goals. Rapid changes in system configurations are also enabled by highly modular, self-descriptive and reusable machinery modules called Mechatronic Objects. The high reconfigurability in fluid production poses new challenges for the safety management of future production systems. Every modification done to an existing system needs to be risk assessed and approved during the commissioning to allow its safety-compliant operation. As current industrial practices for risk assessment are still labor-intensive and time-consuming, new methods are needed to quickly integrate the aforementioned highly modular Mechatronic Objects into fluid production systems. In this paper, we propose a safety management and assessment framework to address the safety-related challenges for fluid production. This paper proposes a new modeling method to describe the different types of Mechatronic Objects and derives different stages for the assessment and approval of fluid production systems. This allows a more efficient and accelerated commissioning phase, a seamlessly integrated production and the reduction of manual efforts needed for the system commissioning. The proposed framework, the methods and the implemented software tools are validated using a case study for a highly reconfigurable assembly system at the research campus ARENA2036 at the University of Stuttgart.
Prognostic Implication of Admission HbA1c for All-cause Mortality in Ischemic Heart Failure Among a Chinese Population: A Prospective Cohort Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract

Background: The impact of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) on heart failure (HF) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) differs among studies, and IHD is a preponderant cause in HF. We investigated the link between admission HbA1c and all-cause mortality in a Chinese population with ischemic heart failure (IHF).Methods: Eligible patients with IHF at the Department of Cardiology, Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital from December 2015 to June 2019 were enrolled to investigate the association between admission HbA1c and all-cause mortality of IHF with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis.Results: Of 1413 participants, the median age was 63.2 ± 10.9 years, 85% were men and median admission HbA1c level was 6.82%. All-cause mortality was higher in HbA1c >7% group compared with HbA1c ≤7% group (hazard ratio (HR): 1.328, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.016-1.735, p =0.037), and sensitivity analysis appeared the consistent result. The association between HbA1c and all-cause mortality was also statistically significant in the male and younger cohorts.Conclusions: Elevated admission HbA1c level (>7%) is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality of IHF in the general population, and there is also a consistent trend among male and younger individuals. Further explorations are required to elucidate whether glycemic management plays a crucial role in the progression of IHF within female and elderly population.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

In search of the ancestors of Native American mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups, we analyzed the mtDNA of 531 individuals from nine indigenous populations in Siberia. All mtDNAs were subjected to high-resolution RFLP analysis, sequencing of the control-region hypervariable segment I (HVS-I), and surveyed for additional polymorphic markers in the coding region. Furthermore, the mtDNAs selected according to haplogroup/subhaplogroup status were completely sequenced. Phylogenetic analyses of the resulting data, combined with those from previously published Siberian arctic and sub-arctic populations, revealed that remnants of the ancient Siberian gene pool are still evident in Siberian populations, suggesting that the founding haplotypes of the Native American A-D branches originated in different parts of Siberia. Thus, lineage A complete sequences revealed in the Mansi of the Lower Ob and the Ket of the Lower Yenisei belong to A1, suggesting that A1 mtDNAs occasionally found in the remnants of hunting-gathering populations of northwestern and northern Siberia belonged to a common gene pool of the Siberian progenitors of Paleoindians. Moreover, lineage B1, which is the most closely related to the American B2, occurred in the Tubalar and Tuvan inhabiting the territory between the upper reaches of the Ob River in the west, to the Upper Yenisei region in the east. Finally, the sequence variants of haplogroups C and D, which are most similar to Native American C1 and D1, were detected in the Ulchi of the Lower Amur. Overall, our data suggest that the immediate ancestors of the Siberian/Beringian migrants who gave rise to ancient (pre-Clovis) Paleoindians

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Pot experiment was conduct to assess the growth and ion contents adjustment of Chaksu (Cassia absus L.) under NaCl levels as 0 (control), 8 dS/m and 10 dS/m. All growth attributes such as shoot and root length, shoot fresh and dry weights were decreased with increasing salinity levels. Na , Cl and K +- + concentrations were increased with increasing salinity, while Ca concentration was lower as salinity levels 2+ increased. Effect of NaCl was non significant on proline contents and total soluble carbohydrates increased sharply with increasing NaCl level. It was concluded that with increasing salinity levels there was a significant reduction in growth and biomass production in chaksu with varied accumulation patterns of ions.
AGRICULTURE IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 2018: SUMMARY AND PERSPECTIVE

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, the latest US farm bill, contains no major realignment of spending across its 12 titles. Nevertheless, potentially important programmatic changes are authorized. Payments by commodity assistance programs are more closely tied to current market conditions, including allowing farms to annually change commodity program starting with the 2021 crop. Commitment to using private-public partnerships to address farm environmental issues is increased. US land conservation programs appear to be evolving to a pyramid policy approach composed of (1) conservation farming practices for land cropped annually (2) short term contracts to revitalize soil health, (3) environmental fallow to remove land from production for longer periods, and (4) long term conservation easements. The Research and Extension title had the largest percent increase in mandatory funding. Mandatory funding for US agricultural export programs were increased by double digits. Issues with provisions in multiple titles include organic production, local foods, urban agriculture, food wastes, legalization of hemp production, and programs to assist young, beginning, veteran, and socially disadvantage farmers.
Examining the impact of fun in the workplace in hospitality internships

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose This study examines the importance of fun in the workplace within the context of hospitality internships. It aims to determine the impact of three dimensions of fun – fun activities, coworker socializing and manager support for fun – on the perceived value of internships and students' commitment to pursuing a career in the hospitality industry. Design/methodology/approach The study involved a sample of 253 hospitality management students in The Netherlands. Data were collected through an online survey and analyzed using multiple regression to assess the relationships between fun in the workplace, internship value and industry commitment. The study also considered the influence of job characteristics, social support and work-life conflict. Findings The results indicated that coworker socializing had a positive relationship with both internship value and industry commitment. Manager support for fun positively influenced internship value but had a negative relationship with industry commitment. Fun activities did not significantly impact either outcome. Additionally, skill variety was found to be crucial for internship value, particularly for operational interns. Practical implications The findings suggest that while fun in the workplace can enhance the internship experience, it should not overshadow other critical factors such as skill variety, supervisor support and the presence of role models. Internship programs should focus on providing diverse and challenging tasks to maximize perceived value and industry commitment among students. Originality/value This study extends the research on workplace fun by focusing on its role in the internship experience within the hospitality industry. It provides insights into how different dimensions of fun affect internship outcomes and highlights the importance of balancing fun with other essential aspects of the work environment to foster positive student experiences and career aspirations.
Epidemiological Analysis of Endemic Schistosomiasis Prevalence in China, 2004-2018

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Tick and tick-borne pathogens are among the major threats to animal health and production causing huge economic losses in the form of morbidity and mortality throughout the world.Due to the scarcity of epidemiological data and appropriate diagnostic methods, the study was carried out to detect Anaplasma marginale and Theileria annulata from buffaloes of Sheikhupura, Jhang, and Rawalpindi districts by using duplex PCR.A total of 1,152 blood samples of buffaloes were screened for epidemiological investigations.DNA extracted from blood samples was used for the amplification of the msp1β gene and cytochrome b gene by using single and duplex PCR.The prevalence of these pathogens and associated risk factors were observed through the multiple logistic regression method.The overall prevalence of a single infection of A. marginale was found to be 14.26% and for T. annulata it was 15.28%.The mixed infection, through duplex PCR in the buffalo population, was observed as 12.92%.Different associated risk factors were evaluated to assess their association with the prevalence of these pathogens.Generally, the prevalence was significantly higher in female buffaloes (P=0.0001)during summer season (P=0.0001).Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of A. marginale showed that Sequence Pak-4* was closely similar to sequences CP006847.1 and appeared in the same clade.Sequence Pak-4* was ascended to Pak-3* isolate and descendant to MK792344.1 Pakistani isolate.On the other hand, phylogenetic analysis of T. annulata showed that the Pak-2* sequence appeared to be descendants of Indian isolate MH78945.1.In the future, this study will be helpful for large-scale analysis of multiple species by using duplex and multiplex PCR and also for improving the control of associated tick-borne diseases in endemic regions through vaccine development.
Characterization of a dual plant protein kinase (FsPK1) up-regulated by abscisic acid and calcium and specifically expressed in dormant seeds ofFagus sylvaticaL.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

An abscisic acid (ABA)-induced cDNA fragment encoding a putative protein kinase (PK) was obtained by differential screening of a cDNA library from Fagus sylvatica seeds. The full-length clone, named FsPK1, was produced by 5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) extension. This clone contained the 11 catalytic domains present in all protein kinases, but displayed unusual characteristics found only in a few plant PKs. FsPK1 exhibits features of both serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinases within the catalytic domain, a putative nuclear localization signal within the regulatory domain and the consensus sequence involved in binding of 14-3-3 proteins. The catalytic domain, expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein, showed Ca 2+ -dependent in vitro kinase activity and dual serine/threonine and tyrosine specificity. Transcription of the FsPK1 gene was reduced by seed stratification at 4°C, and clearly increased when seeds were treated with 0.1 mM ABA, correlating with the inhibition of germination. Interestingly, FsPK1 transcripts were enhanced when ABA (0.1 mM) and calcium (1 mM) were added together, while the addition of EGTA (calcium chelator) and 3,4,5,-trimethoxibenzoic acid 8-(diethylamino) octyl ester (TMB-8, a calcium antagonist) decreased its expression. Furthermore, FsPK1 transcript expression was tissue specific and accumulated only in ABA-treated seeds, but not in any ABA-treated vegetative tissues examined. These results suggest that the expression of the corresponding protein could be related to the inhibition of germination mediated by ABA in a calcium-dependent pathway.
