Abstract Dryland areas of North Lombok can be grown with a variety of crops and provide alternatives for farmers. This paper aims to: (1) identify farmer selection of crops in dryland areas of North Lombok Regency, Indonesia; (2) analyze farmer decisions in selecting the crops in the area. Results of this study can become the basis for developing agriculture in the area or other areas of similar conditions. Data were collected through surveys to sampled farmers in the dryland areas of North Lombok, with the focus of questions on farmer reasoning following their crop selection. Such an approach is guided by qualitative research principles, highlighting the importance of understanding and meaning of topics investigated. The surveys revealed that in dryland areas of North Lombok grew corn, rice (of dryland type), peanuts, long beans, chili, tomatoes, and cassava. Corn is a dominant crop among farmer choices. In their farming activities, farmers did not select soybean, one of the targeted crops. Farmer reasons behind crop selection directed to the conclusion that farmers in dryland areas of North Lombok are rational, in which they aim to generate high income from their activities and at the same time attempt to reduce risks associated with the chosen crops. This study results imply the importance of understanding the motivations of growers as the primary stakeholder in implementing farming.

There is a general consensus that substantial heterogeneity underlies the neurobiology in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As such, it has become increasingly clear that a dissection of variation at the molecular-, cellular-, and system-level domains is a prerequisite for identifying biomarkers and developing more targeted therapeutic strategies in ASD. Advances in neuroimaging approaches to characterizing atypical brain patterns have recently motivated their application as viable tools to delineate more homogenous ASD subgroups at the level of brain structure and function - i.e., neurosubtyping. This review assesses and critically discusses the current data-driven neurosubtyping in ASD. It breaks this pursuit into key methodological steps: the selection of diagnostic samples, neuroimaging features, algorithm and validation approaches. For each step, we appraise the current literature in terms of progress, as well as remaining challenges and potential solutions. Convergence across findings is discussed and biological implications are highlighted. Although preliminary and with limited methodological overlap, results from this literature illustrate the feasibility of neurosubtyping. Across studies, there is general agreement that distinct neurosubtypes exist, but the exact number and their definitions vary depending on the specific features and approach utilized in a given study. Results also suggest the utility of subtypes in predicting symptom severity and diagnostic labels above and beyond group-average comparison designs. This review concludes with a discussion of future avenues towards a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying ASD heterogeneity.

Based on the decision-theoretical conditions underlying the selection of events for news coverage in science journalism, this article uses a novel input-output analysis to investigate which of the more than eight million scientific study results published between August 2014 and July 2018 have been selected by global journalism to a relevant degree. We are interested in two different structures in the media coverage of scientific results. Firstly, the structure of sources that journalists use, i.e. scientific journals, and secondly, the congruence of the journalistic selection of single results. Previous research suggests that the selection of sources and results follows a certain heavy-tailed distribution, a power law. Mathematically, this distribution can be described with a function of the form C*x-α. We argue that the exponent of such power law distributions can potentially be an indicator to describe selectivity in journalism on a high aggregation level. In our input-output analysis, we look for such patterns in the coverage of all scientific results published in the database Scopus over four years. To get an estimate of the coverage of these results, we use data from the altmetrics provider Altmetric, more precisely their Mainstream-Media-Score (MSM-Score). Based on exploratory analyses, we define papers with a score of 50 or above as Social Impact Papers (SIPs). Over our study period, we identified 5,833 SIPs published in 1,236 journals. We consider a power law fit with an exponent of about -2 to be plausible for the distribution of the source selection but cannot confirm the power law hypothesis for the distribution of the selection of single results. In this case, an exponentially truncated power law seems to be the better fit.

Objective.The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) should target patient-relevant outcomes, making patient perspective on remission essential. In 2010, patients, physicians, health professionals, and researchers at the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) conference developed an ambitious research agenda to study the concept of remission. Qualitative research has since helped us understand the concept of remission from the patient perspective.Methods.During OMERACT 12, the OMERACT working group on patient perspective on remission in RA elaborated on data generated to date and discussed the methodological challenges ahead. Challenges included (1) selection of domains, (2) choice of a patient remission definition or a single domain to add to the current remission definition, and (3) the importance of pain in defining remission from a patient perspective.Results.Focus in the coming years will be on increasing our understanding by identifying the most important domains from the patient perspective regarding remission and investigating how these domains can be measured. Investigation into the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease questionnaire, disease flare, as well as the concordance of domains from our ongoing remission survey is appropriate. More data and further discussions are needed to decide on the next steps.Conclusion.Progress summarized over 4 years highlights the main methodological challenges discussed within the working group on patient perspective on remission in RA during OMERACT 12.
