    Abstract The paper reviews studies of rural transformation in three dimensions - definition, measurement, and indicators - and summarises the findings of rural transformation research. The scope of rural transformation includes four elements - productivity, rurality, inclusiveness, and sustainability. Current concepts of the dimensions of rural transformation and their associated indicators are insufficient for policy decision-making, as they lack objectivity, feasibility, accountability, comprehensiveness, and comparability. Future research to develop new measures to assess rural transformation in developing countries is valuable. Furthermore, there is potential to explore the topic in some directions: urbanisation strategy, public intervention (i.e., institution, policy, and investment), gender inclusiveness, market creation, and international trade.

    Abstract Strain solitons are quasi-dislocations that form in van der Waals materials to relieve the energy associated with lattice or rotational mismatch. Novel electronic properties of strain solitons were predicted and observed. To date, strain solitons have been observed only in exfoliated crystals or mechanically strained crystals. The lack of a scalable approach toward the generation of strain solitons poses a significant challenge in the study of and use of their properties. Here, we report the formation of strain solitons with epitaxial growth of bismuth on InSb(111)B by molecular beam epitaxy. The morphology of the strain solitons for films of varying thickness is characterized with scanning tunneling microscopy, and the local strain state is determined from atomic resolution images. Bending in the solitons is attributed to interactions with the interface, and large angle bending is associated with edge dislocations. Our results enable the scalable generation of strain solitons.

    Aim: To document our clinical and radiographical outcomes using magnesium implants in treating peri-articular elbow fractures.
    Methods: Our paper was based on a retrospective case series design. Intra-operatively, a standardized surgical technique was utilized for insertion of the magnesium implants. Post - operatively, clinic visits were standardized and physical exam findings, functional scores, and radiographs were obtained at each visit. All complications were recorded.
    Results: Five patients with 6 fractures were recruited (2 coronoid, 3 radial head and 1 capitellum). The mean patient age and length of follow up was 54.6 years and 11 months respectively. All fractures healed, and none exhibited loss of reduction or complications requiring revision surgery. No patient developed synovitis of the elbow joint or suffered electrolytic reactions when titanium implants were used concurrently.
    Conclusion: Although there is still a paucity of literature available on the subject and further studies are required, magnesium implants appear to be a feasible tool for fixation of peri-articular elbow fractures with promising results in our series.

    Abstract Introduction: Open carpal tunnel release (O-CTR) is associated with high patient satisfaction and low complication rates. Risk factors for complications are well-established. Recent studies have found that patient-reported allergies (PRAs) and psychiatric comorbidities may be associated with increased complication rates. The impact of these factors after elective hand surgery has not been evaluated. This study sought to identify whether PRAs and psychiatric comorbidities are associated with complications after O-CTR and to evaluate their association with prolonged follow-up and the need for post-operative occupational therapy (OT).
    Methods: Patient demographics, PRAs, Patient Health Questionnaire-2 score, Charlson Comorbidity Index, Carpal Tunnel Symptoms-6 score, postoperative complications, OT utilization, and time to final follow-up were recorded for patients who underwent elective O-CTR between 2014 and 2022. Multivariable binomial logistic regression analysis was used to determine pre-operative variables associated with increased risk for complication.
    Results: About 250 patients met the inclusion criteria. Fifty-one (20.4%) patients developed minor complications, including scar tenderness (N=34, 13.6%), superficial wound dehiscence (N=9, 3.6%), and superficial infection (N=8, 3.2%). There were no major complications. Independent risk factors for complications included PRAs (OR 1.80, p<0.01) and PHQ-2 score (OR 1.39, p=0.04). Five or more PRAs and PHQ-2 score ≥3 are significant independent risk factors for increased post-operative complications. Increased PRAs and PHQ-2 scores were associated with longer follow-up (p=0.01 and p<0.01, respectively) but not increased OT utilization.
    Conclusion: An increased number of PRAs and higher PHQ-2 scores are significant, independent risk factors for minor complications following O-CTR. Risk adjustment and peri-operative counseling should incorporate and account for these variables.

    Abstract Federated learning (FL) is a promising approach for solving multilingual tasks, potentially enabling clients with their own language-specific data to collaboratively construct a high-quality neural machine translation (NMT) model. However, communication constraints in practical network systems present challenges for exchanging large-scale NMT engines between FL parties. In this paper, we propose a meta-learning-based adaptive parameter selection methodology, MetaSend, that improves the communication efficiency of model transmissions from clients during FL-based multilingual NMT training. Our approach learns a dynamic threshold for filtering parameters prior to transmission without compromising the NMT model quality, based on the tensor deviations of clients between different FL rounds. Through experiments on two NMT datasets with different language distributions, we demonstrate that MetaSend obtains substantial improvements over baselines in translation quality in the presence of a limited communication budget.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is growing in popularity and is increasingly done on an ambulatory basis. This review examines recent developments in anesthesia and analgesia for ambulatory shoulder surgery. Pathway components are discussed and a sample pathway is described.
    Recent findings: Adoption of pathways for shoulder surgery improves patient experience by reducing pain, opioid use, and side effects while improving patient satisfaction. Long-acting nerve blockade using adjuvants like dexamethasone provide long-lasting analgesia without rebound pain. Peripheral nerve blockade provides better analgesia than peri-articular injection of local anesthetic. There are multiple approaches to nerve blockade for shoulder surgery to consider, including interscalene, superior trunk, supraclavicular, and anterior suprascapular nerve blocks. Multimodal analgesia should include acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but routine gabapentinoids should not be used.
    Summary: Anesthesiologists should lead the way to create and implement pathways for ambulatory total shoulder arthroplasty, incorporating appropriate patient selection, patient education, long-lasting nerve blockade, and multimodal analgesia.
