Influence of an individual’s own gains and losses on the evaluation of friends’ gambling results: Evidence from ERPs

on the evaluation of friends’ gains and losses would differ under different modes of self-construction. The results indicated that in the interdependent self-construction initiation group, the electrophysiological response mode that results from watching friends’ gambling was consistent with the result obtained in Experiment 1. However, after initiation of the independent self-construction of the subjects, the evaluation mode of the gambling results of a friend differed from that of the interdependent self-construction initiation group. In terms of the FRN index, regardless of one’s own gains and losses, the differences in FRN for friends’ gains and losses were no longer significant. In terms of the P300 index, the P300 discrepancy resulting from watching the gains and losses of a friend after suffering own losses was not significant. However, after having gained benefits, a higher P300 amplitude was induced by watching friends losing money in gambling than when watching them gain money. In summary, this study shows that: (1) the evaluation model for one’s friends’ gains and losses differs depending on the own experienced gains and losses. Under favorable conditions, an individual is more inclined to show indifference to his friends’ gains and losses, which may be because the individual employs stronger egocentric tendency in such a case. (2) The independent self-construction initiation group shows more indifference and competition when observing the gains and losses of a friend than in case of the interdependent self-construction group.
Sequential Pneumonitis with Ground-glass Opacity during Durvalumab Therapy after Chemoradiation for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Background: To investigate the clinical characteristics, radiographic pattern, and clinical course of radiation pneumonitis and programmed death ligand 1 inhibitor-related pneumonitis in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 22 patients who received definitive CCRT and consolidative Durvalumab for NSCLC between February 2018 and December 2019 at our hospital. Chest computed tomography scans were reviewed to assess the incidence, timing, relation to the field of radiotherapy, and radiographic patterns of pneumonitis.Results: Among the 22 patients, six (27.3 %) developed grade 2 radiation pneumonitis. The median time from therapy initiation to pneumonitis was 1.5 months. Three patients had pneumonitis within the radiation treatment field, and the other three had pneumonitis spread outside the field. The radiographic pattern was organizing pneumonia with ground-grass opacity in five patients. All patients received corticosteroid therapy, and no patient experienced progression to grade 5 pneumonitis or recurrent pneumonitis after Durvalumab retreatment.Conclusion: It is essential to understand the mechanism and radiographic pattern of immunotherapy-related pneumonitis and radiation pneumonitis to manage this potentially severe adverse event promptly.
Dynamic patterns of daily lead-lag networks in stock markets

The lead-lag relationship between stocks is an interesting phenomenon, which has been empirically seen to widely exist in stock markets. This paper aims to discover the dynamic patterns of the daily lead-lag relationships between stock pairs, to detect the features of the discovered dynamic patterns, and to explore which factors significantly affect the emergence of the feature. To this end, a series of statistical analyses is conducted to find that the (longest) successive lead-lag days satisfy a power-law distribution in the two mainland stock markets in China, which answers the question regarding the dynamic pattern. Note that the heavy tail of the power-law distribution is the core of the discovered dynamic pattern. A formal and solid definition of the lead-lag effect is provided by statistical testing, and then the corresponding detection method is designed and applied to obtain the heavy tail. Finally, an empirical study of the detected stocks with lead-lag effect is further conducted via an exponential random graph model (ERGM). Our work adds new knowledge to the lead-lag phenomenon in the financial domain, provides a formal definition of the lead-lag effect and proposes a new detection method benefiting future studies on the lead-lag relationship in financial markets. It further contributes to the existing relevant literature by a deep understanding of which factors cause the emergence of the power-law distribution discovered.
The socio-economic impact of regional tourism: an occupation-based modelling perspective from Sweden

Abstract Traditional measurements of tourism’s economic impact refer to primary and secondary effects that are typically quantified through input–output (IO) methodology. From a sustainable regional development perspective, however, economic impact analyses are criticised for their one-dimensional analysis focussing mainly on growth-oriented effects represented by aggregates for output, employment, income or tax. Although existing literature comprises various extensions of IO models, the focus of these models is restricted to indicators at a high aggregate level. Thus, distributional or other socio-economically important aspects related to the tourism workforce are seldom discussed. In our approach to study tourism’s impacts over a nine-year period, we consider macro-and meso-level perspectives and disaggregate tourism’s impact on regional employment and income for particular occupational areas in the Swedish region of Jämtland. Results indicate weakening employment effects; relatively low but increasing income-inequalities; and increasing shares of elementary positions with precarious working conditions despite para-industrial initiatives from tourism institutions to develop the industry. By enhancing traditional tourism economic impact methodology, we hope that our approach is supportive in putting the tourism workforce at the heart of the regional development and tourism sustainability discourse.
Plasma Wind Tunnel Investigation of European Ablators in Air Using Emission Spectroscopy

Plasma wind tunnel tests using the European ablative materials AQ61 and MONA were conducted in a nitrogen/ oxygen atmosphere at three relevant heat fluxes. Results of the emission spectroscopic investigation of the plasma radiation are presented, for both the freestream (without probe body) and the boundary layer 5 mm in front of the test samples. Emission spectroscopy was conducted at several wavelength ranges (320 nm < λ < 580 nm) and spectral resolutions. Results are compared with respect to the temperatures of the most common plasma species. Here, comparisons are drawn between the plasma emission at the different heat flux regimes and the test specimen material.
The development of ePCK of newly hired in-field and out-of-field teachers during their first three years of teaching

ABSTRACT This study explored the potential impact of teaching outside of one’s field of expertise. This longitudinal cross-case study examined the development of enacted pedagogical content knowledge (ePCK) among a group of in-field and out-of-field (OOF) physical science teachers during their first 3 years of teaching. The components of ePCK investigated included the knowledge and skills related to conceptual teaching strategies and student understanding of science. Seventeen newly hired teachers teaching in and outside their field of expertise participated in the study. The data collected included semi-structured interviews and classroom observations of the teachers. The study’s findings showed that early career OOF physical science teachers exhibited less developed ePCK and showed more inconsistencies in their ePCK compared to their in-field counterparts. The findings also revealed that ePCK fluctuated for most teachers, representing the tentative nature of emerging ePCK. This study has implications for those who prepare and support newly hired teachers.
Seismic wavefield reconstruction using a pre-conditioned wavelet–curvelet compressive sensing approach

The proliferation of large seismic arrays have opened many new avenues of geophysical research; however, most techniques still fundamentally treat regional and global scale seismic networks as a collection of individual time-series rather than as a single unified data product. Wavefield reconstruction allows us to turn a collection of individual records into a single structured form that treats the seismic wavefield as a coherent 3-D or 4-D entity. We propose a split processing scheme based on a wavelet transform in time and pre-conditioned curvelet-based compressive sensing in space to create a sparse representation of the continuous seismic wavefield with smooth second-order derivatives. Using this representation, we illustrate several applications, including surface wave gradiometry, Helmholtz–Hodge decomposition of the wavefield into irrotational and solenoidal components, and compression and denoising of seismic records.
Pressure filtration of cellulose fibres

Nous avons etudie la rheologie compressionnelle de suspensions de fibres de cellulose a l'aide d'une technique de filtration sous pression. L'egouttage de ces systemes est decrit en terme de diverses proprietes cles de la suspension, y compris l'effort de deformation permanente, la permeabilite et la diffusivite des solides, ce qui permet de caracteriser quantitativement le processus de consolidation. Nous avons analyse en particulier l'effet de l'ajout d'un agent anti-adhesif commercial sur les proprietes de compression d'une suspension de fibres. Ces agents sont habituellement employes dans la production d'articles d'hygiene, auxquels ils sont ajoutes pour reduire l'adherence fibre-fibre. Nous avons ici analyse leur effet sur la reponse compressive des suspensions de fibres comme exemple de la facon dont des mesures de ce type peuvent etre utilisees pour caracteriser l'effet des additifs sur le bouffant des papiers. Les resultats indiquent que l'ajout d'un agent anti-adhesif reduit la tendance a l'egouttage d'une variete de teneurs en fibres et entraine la formation de canaux d'ecoulement dans la suspension de fibres comprimees.
Scenarios post foreclosure crisis in Catalonia: accumulation of housing by banks as the first step for the rise of large private landlords

The article analyses the uneven geography of foreclosed housing owned by large private landlords in Catalonia. A Negative Binomial Model is applied to identify the local determinants of the concentration patterns of 32,941 housing units in Catalan cities. Indicators of socioeconomic vulnerability, such as the percentage of foreign population or the percentage of unemployed residents, are identified as key explanatory factors of the regional geography of housing accumulated by banks which, in turn, correspond to areas in which global corporate landlords are focusing their business for profiteering from the rental market in the current expansionist phase of the housing cycle. Our findings demonstrate that the concentration of properties in the most vulnerable areas was fuelled by foreclosures responsibility of banks rescued with public funds. In tandem, we provide detailed information for the understanding of the new scenarios that have emerged during the post-crisis phase.
deaR-Shiny: An Interactive Web App for Data Envelopment Analysis

In this paper, we describe an interactive web application (deaR-shiny) to measure efficiency and productivity using data envelopment analysis (DEA). deaR-shiny aims to fill the gap that currently exists in the availability of online DEA software offering practitioners and researchers free access to a very wide variety of DEA models (both conventional and fuzzy models). We illustrate how to use the web app by replicating the main results obtained by Carlucci, Cirà and Coccorese in 2018, who investigate the efficiency and economic sustainability of Italian regional airport by using two conventional DEA models, and the results given by Kao and Liu in their papers published in 2000 and 2003, who calculate the efficiency scores of university libraries in Taiwan by using a fuzzy DEA model because they treat missing data as fuzzy numbers.
A new method for electromagnetic parameters measurement with air coaxial line in low frequency band

A new measurement method is proposed in this letter to improve the accuracy of electromagnetic parameters measurement with air coaxial line, especially in low frequency band. The new method measures reﬂection parameters of the air coaxial line with terminal short-circuited and open-circuited, then the impedances from the specimen section to terminal are calculated. Combined with the impedance equations established based on the transmission line theory, the complex permittivity and complex permeability of the specimen are derived. Compared with the classic Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method, the method proposed achieves better accuracy in low frequencies, which is proved in this letter through comparative measurements.
Geochemical constraints on the mobilization of Ni and critical metals in laterite deposits, Sulawesi, Indonesia: A mass‐balance approach

Indonesia is one of the largest Ni ore producers in the world and is also expected to be an important potential source of some critical metals (e.g., Co, Sc, rare‐earth elements, and platinum‐group elements). However, few studies have examined Ni laterite deposits in this country. In this study, we investigate Ni enrichment and the potential accumulation of critical metals in four laterite profiles with varying degrees of serpentinization and weathering intensity in the Soroako and Pomalaa mining areas of Sulawesi, Indonesia. We integrate geochemical evaluation with a mass‐balance approach and mineralogical analysis to better constrain the geochemical factors influencing the mobilization of Ni during lateritization. Nickel contents in the saprolite horizon of the profiles that are strongly weathered and developed over serpentinized peridotite are higher than those that are weakly weathered and developed over unserpentinized harzburgite. The bulk Ni contents of saprolite horizons are related to Ni contents of Ni‐bearing Mg‐phyllosilicates, which suggests that Ni remobilization is the main control on Ni enrichment in the profiles. Mass‐balance calculations reveal that the amounts of gained Fe and Ni in the profiles are positively correlated. This relationship indicates that the redistribution of Ni is likely controlled by the aging of Ni‐bearing goethite (dissolution/recrystallization) involving ligand‐promoted dissolution by organic matter and/or reductive dissolution by microbial activity near the surface. Critical metals show enrichment in specific horizons. Enrichments in Co and rare‐earth elements are strongly influenced by the formation of Mn‐oxyhydroxides in the oxide zone of the profiles. In contrast, Sc, Pt, and Pd show residual enrichment patterns, with grades influenced mainly by their initial contents in bedrock. The profiles show a positive correlation between Sc and Fe, as reported for other Ni laterite deposits. Among the critical metals, Sc, Pt, and Pd contents in the studied profiles are comparable with values reported from other Ni laterite deposits worldwide.
Mechanism of Meropenem Hydrolysis by New Delhi Metallo β-Lactamase

New Delhi metallo β-lactamase (NDM-1) is a recent addition to the metallo-β-lactamases family that is capable of hydrolyzing most of the available antibiotics, including the new generation carbapenems. Here, we report the mechanism of Meropenem hydrolysis catalyzed by NDM-1 based on hybrid quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical metadynamics simulations. Our work elicits the molecular details of the catalytic mechanism and free energy profiles along the reaction pathway. We identified the ring opening step involving the nucleophilic addition of the bridging hydroxyl group on the β-lactam ring of the drug as the rate-determining step. Subsequent protonation of β-lactam nitrogen occurs from a bulk water molecule that diffuses into the active site and is preferred over proton transfer from the bridging hydroxyl group or from the protonated Asp124. The roles of important active site residues of NDM-1 and change in the coordination environment of Zn ions during the hydrolysis are also scrutinized.
The consequences of
 short‐term
 institutional change in the rule of law for entrepreneurship

Research Summary: Past research views institutions as stable and slow to change and uses institutional differences to explain cross-national variation in entrepreneurship. This article introduces a new perspective to institutional theory, that of short-term institutional change. Integrating insights from cognitive science allows us to theorize not just about the significance of short-term institutional change but also about why and how deterioration versus improvements in institutions have distinct effects. We test how short-term institutional change impacts entrepreneurship in a cross-country multilevel study. We find that short-term change in the rule of law affects entrepreneurial entry and that institutional deterioration weighs heavier than institutional improvement. We argue and find that changes in the rule of law are more consequential for entrepreneurship compared to changes in business regulations. Managerial Summary: It is known that the quality of institutions affects individuals' decisions to pursue entrepreneurship. Yet, we newly investigate effects of year-to-year changes in national institutions. Not only changes in business regulations matter, but also changes in more fundamental institutional aspects, especially in the rule of law. We find that institutional change has an impact because, on its basis, potential

Photodesorption and Photostability of Acetone Ices: Relevance to Solid Phase Astrochemistry

Acetone, one of the most important molecules in organic chemistry, also a precursor of prebiotic species, was found in the interstellar medium associated with star-forming environments. The mechanisms proposed to explain the gas phase abundance of interstellar acetone are based on grain mantle chemistry. High energy photons coming from the stellar radiation field of the nearby stars interact with the ice mantles on dust grains leading to photoionization, photodissociation, and photodesorption processes. In this work we investigate the photodesorption and the photostability of pure acetone ices due to soft X-ray impact. Absolute desorption yields per photon impact for the main positive ionic fragments were determined at the O 1s resonance energy (531.4 eV). The photostability of acetone ice was studied by exposure to different irradiation doses with a white beam of synchrotron radiation. The degradation of the ice was monitored by NEXAFS around the O 1s threshold. From this study we determine the photodiss.
