Purpose – While localized small-series production is a significant opportunity, various tensions challenge implementation in high-cost contexts. This paper explores how managers view and respond to different tensions in small-series production implementation by adopting a paradox-based perspective. Design/methodology/approach –Thepaper presents amultiple case studyaddressing small-series production withinEU’s apparel industry, as key context to addressmanagerial awareness, and responses to tensions regarding location and supply network configuration decisions. Seven cases were selected for variation in customization and implementation (early/established), ownership, location and company size, to identity commonalities. Findings – The study highlights performing tensions related to sustainability, and risk, in addition to confirming traditional goal-related tensions predominantly impacting small volume production. With ondemand/custom production, tensions include costs in conflict with process scale, and several process-related tensions (flexibility, expansion/development, risk management). Identified multidimensional responses do not include location or structural decisions, instead focusing on synthesis, through product-operations efficiency, knowledge development and process innovation and supply chain collaboration. Temporal separation is found with customization, including reducing product/process complexity short-term with enhancing process development, which suggests latent learning tensions and limited awareness. Research limitations/implications – Future research should address the extent to which tensions can be resolved or remain paradoxical, as well as dynamic decision-making and latent tensions. Originality/value – The paper shows how paradox theory facilitates a deeper understanding of complex network configuration decisions, including reshoring/localization. The findings identify organizing tensions/ elements and elaborate upon performing/performing-organizing tensions suggested with small-series production, location decisions and supply chain management.
Query-Aware Sequential Recommendation

Sequential recommenders aim to capture users' dynamic interests from their historical action sequences, but remain challenging due to data sparsity issues, as well as the noisy and complex relationships among items in a sequence. Several approaches have sought to alleviate these issues using side-information, such as item content (e.g., images), action types (e.g., click, purchase). While useful, we argue one of the main contextual signals is largely ignored-namely users' queries. When users browse and consume products (e.g., music, movies), their sequential interactions are usually a combination of queries, clicks (etc.). Most interaction datasets discard queries, and corresponding methods simply model sequential behaviors over items and thus ignore this critical context of user interactions. In this work, we argue that user queries should be an important contextual cue for sequential recommendation. First, we propose a new query-aware sequential recommendation setting, i.e. incorpo- rating explicit user queries to model users' intent. Next, we propose a model, namely Query-SeqRec, to (1) incorporate query information into user behavior sequences; and (2) improve model generalization ability using query-item co-occurrence information. Last, we demonstrate the effectiveness of incorporating query features in sequential recommendation on three datasets.1
Association Between Serum Ferritin Concentration and Risk of Adverse Maternal and Fetal Pregnancy Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy

Objective: This study evaluated the associations of serum ferritin (SF) concentration during pregnancy with the risk of adverse maternal and fetal pregnancy outcomes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 2327 pregnant women from 2015 to 2020 in Guangdong, China. SF concentrations were measured at 16–18th and 28–32th week of gestation. Logistic regression models were applied to estimate the association between SF concentration and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results: After multivariable adjustment, the odds ratio (OR) of the highest quartile of SF concentration at 16–18th week of gestation was 1.43 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09, 1.89) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and 1.79 (95% CI: 1.15, 2.79) for small for gestational age (SGA) when compared with the lowest quartile. At 28–32th week of gestation compared with the lowest quartile, women with SF in the highest quartile had an increased risk of SGA (OR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.01, 2.62). Moreover, the lowest quartile of SF concentration decreased risk of SGA by 90% (95% CI: 0.01, 0.80) when compared with the highest quartile among pregnancy women with GDM. Conclusion: Elevated SF concentrations increased the risk of GDM and SGA during pregnancy. Maintaining an appropriately low level of maternal SF at 28–32th week of gestation in women with GDM could reduce the risk of SGA. education background, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, conception method, parity, abortion history, thalassemia history and hemoglobin.
Fast RSK Correspondence by Doubling Search

The Robinson–Schensted-Knuth (RSK) correspondence is a fundamental concept in combinatorics and representation theory. It is defined as a certain bijection between permutations and pairs of Young tableaux of a given order. We consider the RSK correspondence as an algorithmic problem, along with the closely related k -chain problem. We give a simple, direct description of the symmetric RSK algorithm, which is implied by the k -chain algorithms of Viennot and of Felsner and Wernisch. We also show how the doubling search of Bentley and Yao can be used as a subroutine by the symmetric RSK algorithm, replacing the default binary search. Surprisingly, such a straightforward replacement improves the asymptotic worst-case running time for the RSK correspondence that has been best known since 1998. A similar improvement also holds for the average running time of RSK on uniformly random permutations.
Metaphor annotation for German

The paper presents current work on a German corpus annotated for metaphor. Metaphors denote entities or situations that are in some sense similar to the literal referent, e.g., when “Handschrift” ‘signature’ is used in the sense of ‘distinguishing mark’ or the suppression of hopes is introduced by the verb “verschütten” ‘bury’. The corpus is part of a project on register, hence, includes material from different registers that represent register variation along a number of important dimensions, but we believe that it is of interest to research on metaphor in general. The corpus extends previous annotation initiatives in that it not only annotates the metaphoric expressions themselves but also their respective relevant contexts that trigger a metaphorical interpretation of the expressions. For the corpus, we developed extended annotation guidelines, which specifically focus not only on the identification of these metaphoric contexts but also analyse in detail specific linguistic challenges for metaphor annotation that emerge due to the grammar of German.
Algebraic cycles and values of L-functions.

Let X be a smooth projective algebraic variety of dimension d over a number field k, and let n ̂ 0 be an integer, /-adic cohomology in degree /i, H(X^, Ot), is a representation space for Gal (Jc/k) and gives rise to an L-function L(H, s) ([10], [16]). In recent years there has been considerable interest in the interplay between diophantine geometric properties of X and special values of L. When n = 2m is even, Täte [19] has suggested a relation between the order of pole of L at s = m + l and the rank of the group of algebraic cycles of codimension m defined over k in H(X^9 Oz). When n = l, Birch and SwinnertonDyer have conjectured that the order of vanishing of L at s = l equals the rank of the Mordell-Weil group inside Pic(X/k). For n = 2m — l odd one might formulate the following. Recurring Fantasy. Let CH(X} be the Chow group of codimension m cycles on X defined over k modulo rational equivalence, and let A(X) = Ker (CH(X) -> H(X^ Q,)) . Then rk A(X) = order of vanishing of L(H~\ s) at s = m.
Do Common Factors Really Explain the Cross-Section of Stock Returns?

The empirical ability of stock characteristics to predict excess returns challenges the notion of a trade-off between systematic risk and expected return. We measure individual stocks’ exposures to all common latent factors using a novel high-dimensional method. These latent factors appear to earn negligible risk premia despite explaining virtually all of the common time-series variation in stock returns. We use machine learning methods to construct outof-sample forecasts of stock returns based on a wide range of characteristics. A zero-cost beta-neutral portfolio that exploits this predictability but hedges all undiversifiable risk delivers a Sharpe ratio above one with no correlation with any systematic factor, thus rejecting the key prediction of the arbitrage pricing theory.
Cartan subalgebras of amalgamated free product II$_1$ factors

We study Cartan subalgebras in the context of amalgamated free product II$_1$ factors and obtain several uniqueness and non-existence results. We prove that if $\Gamma$ belongs to a large class of amalgamated free product groups (which contains the free product of any two infinite groups) then any II$_1$ factor $L^{\infty}(X)\rtimes\Gamma$ arising from a free ergodic probability measure preserving action of $\Gamma$ has a unique Cartan subalgebra, up to unitary conjugacy. We also prove that if $\mathcal R=\mathcal R_1*\mathcal R_2$ is the free product of any two non-hyperfinite countable ergodic probability measure preserving equivalence relations, then the II$_1$ factor $L(\mathcal R)$ has a unique Cartan subalgebra, up to unitary conjugacy. Finally, we show that the free product $M=M_1*M_2$ of any two II$_1$ factors does not have a Cartan subalgebra. More generally, we prove that if $A\subset M$ is a diffuse amenable von Neumann subalgebra and $P\subset M$ denotes the algebra generated by its normalizer, then either $P$ is amenable, or a corner of $P$ embeds into $M_1$ or $M_2$.
DiscoGeM: A Crowdsourced Corpus of Genre-Mixed Implicit Discourse Relations

We present DiscoGeM, a crowdsourced corpus of 6,505 implicit discourse relations from three genres: political speech, literature, and encyclopedic texts. Each instance was annotated by 10 crowd workers. Various label aggregation methods were explored to evaluate how to obtain a label that best captures the meaning inferred by the crowd annotators. The results show that a significant proportion of discourse relations in DiscoGeM are ambiguous and can express multiple relation senses. Probability distribution labels better capture these interpretations than single labels. Further, the results emphasize that text genre crucially affects the distribution of discourse relations, suggesting that genre should be included as a factor in automatic relation classification. We make available the newly created DiscoGeM corpus, as well as the dataset with all annotator-level labels. Both the corpus and the dataset can facilitate a multitude of applications and research purposes, for example to function as training data to improve the performance of automatic discourse relation parsers, as well as facilitate research into non-connective signals of discourse relations.

Currently, therapeutic methods for advanced and recurrent cervical cancer patients are limited and unsatisfactory. Immunotherapy is a promising approach for cancer treatment. However, its investigation and application in cervical cancer remain slow. Although pembrolizumab is a remarkable milestone as the first anti-PD-1 mAb approved by the FDA for treating cervical cancer, it shows relatively low response rate. It is noticed that multiple novel immune checkpoints have emerged in recent years, such as CTLA-4, TIGIT, LAG-3, TIM-3, and A2AR. Accumulated studies have suggested that strategies combining the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and different immunotherapies or biotherapies could enhance the antitumor efficacy in human cancers. In this review article, we provide an overview of anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based immunotherapy in cervical cancer treatment. We further summarize the developmental strategies of different immunotherapies or biotherapies combined with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade for treating cervical cancer. We also discuss how these new combined therapies increase the therapeutic benefit gained from experimental evidence in cervical cancer.
3 1 O ct 2 00 2 SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF DARBOUX TRANSFORMATIONS FOR THE FOCUSING NLS

We study Darboux-type transformations associated with the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS−) and their effect on spectral properties of the underlying Lax operator. The latter is a formally J -selfadjoint (but non-self-adjoint) Dirac-type differential expression of the form M(q) = i ( d dx −q −q − d dx ) , satisfying JM(q)J = M(q), where J is defined by J = ( 0 1 1 0 ) C, and C denotes the antilinear conjugation map in C2, C(a, b) = (a, b), a, b ∈ C. As one of our principal results we prove that under the most general hypothesis q ∈ Lloc(R) on q, the maximally defined operator D(q) generated by M(q) is actually J -self-adjoint in L2(R)2. Moreover, we establish the existence of Weyl–Titchmarsh-type solutions Ψ+(z, ·) ∈ L2([R,∞))2 and Ψ−(z, ·) ∈ L2((−∞, R]) for all R ∈ R of M(q)Ψ±(z) = zΨ±(z) for z in the resolvent set of D. The Darboux transformations considered in this paper are the analog of the double commutation procedure familiar in the KdV and Schrödinger operator contexts. As in the corresponding case of Schrödinger operators, the Darboux transformations in question guarantee that the resulting potentials q are locally nonsingular. Moreover, we prove that the construction of Nsoliton NLS− potentials q(N) with respect to a general NLS− background potential q ∈ Lloc(R), associated with the Dirac-type operators D ( q(N) ) and D(q), respectively, amounts to the insertion of N complex conjugate pairs of L2(R)2-eigenvalues {z1, z1, . , zN , zN} into the spectrum σ(D(q)) of D(q), leaving the rest of the spectrum (especially, the essential spectrum σe(D(q))) invariant, that is, σ ( D ( q )) = σ(D(q)) ∪ {z1, z1, . , zN , zN}, σe ( D ( q )) = σe(D(q)). These results are obtained by establishing the existence of bounded transformation operators which intertwine the background Dirac operator D(q) and the Dirac operator D ( q(N) ) obtained after N Darboux-type transformations.

Do Big 4 Auditors Provide Higher Audit Service Quality Than Second-Tier Auditors in Small and Mid-Sized Initial Public Offerings?

Big 4 auditors perform most audits of companies that issue initial public offerings (IPOs). Regulators have expressed interest in increasing IPO audit market competition and a growing body of evidence suggests that Second-Tier auditors could provide IPO audit service quality comparable to that of Big 4 auditors. However, there exists limited empirical evidence on whether IPO audit service quality varies with auditor type. I investigate whether IPO audit service quality differs between Big 4 and Second-Tier auditors for a sample of small and midsized IPOs from 2005 through 2019. I find that Big 4 clients are associated with lower pre-IPO discretionary accruals, suggesting that Big 4 auditors are better able to constrain the opportunistic financial reporting decisions of management. I also examine whether the extent of accounting comments in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) comment letters on the registration statement varies by auditor type. I find that Big 4 clients receive fewer initial accounting comments and that they more effectively address these comments, suggesting that Big 4 auditors are better able to advise clients on achieving compliance with SEC reporting standards. Collectively, my findings suggest that Big 4 auditors provide higher IPO audit service quality than Second-Tier auditors. However, I find that Big 4 clients are not less likely to be sued in IPO-related litigation and that they pay a considerable audit fee premium relative to SecondTier clients. These findings should be of interest to those who influence IPO auditor selection and must consider the viability of Second-Tier auditors as an alternative to the Big 4. In addition, my findings should be informative to regulators concerned that the lack of audit market competition may not provide sufficient incentives for Big 4 auditors to deliver high quality
The Impact of Eco-retrofitting on Coastal Resilience Enhancement – A Physical Modelling Study

Recent climate change studies highlight that the sea-level rise and increase in intensity and frequency of extreme climatic events and storm surges will result in catastrophic wave overtopping events from coastal defences. Retrofitting of the existing seawalls provides great potentials for enhancement of the climatic resilience in coastal region through overtopping attenuation. With increasing attention towards sustainable and low emission solutions for improving the resilience of critical infrastructures to natural hazards, providing coastal protection service is no longer the only concern of scientists, but the environmental impacts of such interventions also started to be considered. This paper presents a laboratory-scale investigation of ‘eco-retrofitting’ approaches including vertipools and reef breakwater for their impact on mitigating overtopping from seawall. The laboratory tests were conducted on a vertical seawall with 1(V):20(H) smooth foreshore. Each test was consisted of approximately 1000 pseudo-random waves based on JONSWAP spectrum. Both impulsive and non-impulsive wave conditions were tested. The plain vertical seawall was taken as the reference case, that exhibited an overall good agreement with empirical predictions, when compared to EurOtop. The analysis of data highlights the significance of the tested eco-interventions in mitigating wave overtopping volume, with approximately 70% reduction of mean the overtopping rate.
Climate Responsive Design Strategies for Contemporary Low-rise Residential Buildings in Tropical Environment of Enugu, Nigeria

The skyline of the developing world is decorated with medium and low rise structures and Nigeria is not an exception. Located in the tropics mainly characterized by an elevated air temperature and high relative humidity; obtaining the desired level of indoor thermal comfort without mechanical aid is a design challenge for most of her building structures in recent times. However, airflow inside a building depends not only on external wind velocity but also on a number of Architectural design features and principles. The study, aimed at identifying design element and strategies that modify the indoor comfort conditions as well as energy savings of tropical buildings. Through case study research approach and the review of existing literature, a comparison of the colonial and contemporary existing building designs were made in the study area based on seven architectural design features that can influence thermal comfort condition. The study found that contemporary building designs in the study area have in recent times departed from the traditional applications of passive design strategies used in colonial architecture and have taken a non-compactible design models for tropical climates like disappearance of eaves projections, shrinkage of balconies, reduced headroom heights and window sizes. Furthermore, the result highlights the need to evolve a climate responsive design as means of reducing heat stress in the contemporary Nigerian low-rise buildings. It concludes and recommends that architects and designers should review their design approaches in favour of functional building requirements for climate-responsive and energy efficient buildings, which will be less dependent on mechanical systems in order to achieve maximum thermal comfort levels in our buildings.
