Success factors affecting digital literacy training initiatives led by local community organizations
Authors: Detlor Brian , Julien Heidi
Published: October 2020

This paper describes an in‐progress research study investigating the factors affecting the success of digital literacy training initiatives led by local community organizations, including public libraries. Data were collected from two public libraries and five community organizations in two cities in Canada. Data collection comprised interviews with 14 administrators, six training instructors, 20 clients of training programs, the analysis of training documents, observations of six training sessions, and a survey administered to 20 clients. The study involved two rounds of data analysis. The first round is complete. The second round is currently underway and its results, in addition to those from the first round, will be disseminated at the ASIS&T Annual Meeting. Goals of the study are to identify factors affecting the success of digital literacy training opportunities led by local community organizations, and to elicit recommendations for practice for local community organizations to follow.
Technology footprints in scientific discovery: Citation contexts of paper‐to‐patent citations
Authors: Hsiao Tzu‐Kun , Torvik Vetle I.
Published: October 2020

Citations between papers and patents indicate knowledge transfer between science and technology. This study discusses the function of paper‐to‐patent citations through citation contexts. 7,223 articles having at least one paper‐to‐patent citation are identified from a collection of 2.4 million PubMed Central open access articles. Within 429,698 references cited by the 7,223 articles, 11,165 (2.6%) are paper‐to‐patent citations, while 418,533 (97.4%) are paper‐to‐paper citations. In comparison to paper‐to‐paper citations, paper‐to‐patent citations were more concentrated at the beginning of articles. Higher proportions of patents are cited in the introduction and methods sections and are only cited once. The results indicate that patents are likely to be cited for providing background knowledge. The appearance of paper‐to‐patent citations in the method sections implies that patents might also contribute to the development of research methods.

Integrating the notions of public service and intrinsic motivations with usability factors, this study examined the motivational and usability factors influencing intention to help via a community crowdsourcing app. Hierarchical linear regression analysis indicated that creating an engaging and useful app that appeals to needs for commitment, and intrinsic needs to participate in valuable acts motivated users to use the community crowdsourcing app to help others.
A preliminary investigation of COVID‐19 transmission in the United States by incorporating social media sentiments
Authors: Tan Tianyi , Huang Teng , Wang Xi , Zuo Zhiya
Published: October 2020

COVID‐19 has now become a global pandemic. During the widespread of COVID‐19, Twitter, as an online social media platform, has been a preferred channel for interaction and communication. As a result, it provides huge amount of information from which latent signals such as sentiments can be mined for a better understanding of COVID‐19 transmission patterns. As a preliminary attempt, we reveal a strongly positive zero‐order correlation between sentiments of tweets and COVID‐19 confirmed cases in U.S. Considering the unique hierarchical structure of the U.S. government, state governments exert their own power to issue public health policies. Indeed, there are different patterns of correlations between sentiments and COVID‐19 confirmed cases, affirming that country‐level characteristics suppress that of state‐level. Diving deeper into the textual content of COVID‐19 related tweets, there manifests a diverse set of topics which in turn lead to dispersed sentiments. Our preliminary investigation paves the way for a finer‐grained analysis of the COVID‐19 transmission and social media activities by considering varying situations across states and topics.
An exploratory study using mindfulness meditation apps to buffer workplace technostress and information overload
Authors: Houli Daniel , Radford Marie
Published: October 2020

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have revolutionized the effectiveness and productivity of business and employees. However, ICTs engender stress, including Technostress and Information Overload (IO), which has negative effects on employees' mental and physical well‐being. Companies increasingly are moving toward further integration of ICTs, expedited greatly by the global effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic. To buffer the effects of workplace stress, the authors propose to investigate how app‐based Mindfulness Meditation (MM) can effectively assist individuals dealing with ICTs' negative effects. A preliminary study, involving one IT employee and the popular app “Calm” was conducted to determine the design of a larger, more robust study.
LGBTQ+ individuals seeking information and support from online communities to navigate unpleasant emotions
Authors: Jia Romy Menghao , Du Jia Tina , Zhao Yuxiang (Chris) , Velasquez Diane
Published: October 2020

As part of an ongoing project, this paper investigates the LGBTQ+ individual's emotions they expressed when seeking information and support in online communities by analyzing online user generated posts in LGBT Chats & Forums. Sixty‐one posts that contained emotional texts were coded using content analysis. Seven categories of emotions emerged from the analysis: fear, uncertainty, sadness, anger, shame, joy and others. The results show that emotions LGBTQ+ individuals expressed in their online requests are often unpleasant and evoked their needs of informational and emotional supports. The findings contribute to the existing knowledge of how LGBTQ+ individuals cope with unpleasant emotions and how online communities can better support sexual and gender minority people.
Analysis of topics in storytime books based on text mining: Preliminary findings
Authors: Joo Soohyung , Cahill Maria , Ingram Erin
Published: October 2020

This poster presents some preliminary findings from an on‐going study that explores the content of storytime books using text mining procedures. We analyzed 429 books recommended for public library storytime programs. For each, we collected two sources of text from the WorldCat database: abstracts and subject terms. Multiple textual analysis methods were employed, including term frequency, bi‐grams, term co‐occurrences, LDA topic modeling, and sentiment analysis. The preliminary findings identified different topics and genres covered in storytime books. The study found educational elements in storytime books, such as alphabet, numbers, and colors. In addition, books in storytimes involve various aspects of sentiment.
Implementing standardized rights statements in a digitized community archive
Authors: Matusiak Krystyna K. , Werling Sarah
Published: October 2020

Digitization offers an opportunity to expand access to unique historical materials in community archives but requires determining the copyright of items shared in digital collections. The copyright status of cultural heritage materials in community archives is difficult to evaluate because of limited documentation on authorship and creation date. This poster presents the findings from the study that analyzed the distribution of standardized rights statements assigned to the digitized objects in the Park County Local History Digital Archive. The process involved evaluating copyright status of published and unpublished materials and assigning standardized rights statements from RightsStatements.org. The types of applied rights statements and their frequency were analyzed using a Python script. The findings indicate the implementation of six different standardized rights statements and frequent use of the statements “Copyright not evaluated,” “Copyright undetermined,” and “In copyright—rights‐holder(s) unlocatable or unidentifiable.” Relatively few items were identified as being in public domain.
Online information grounds by urban newcomers in China

Published: October 2020

Nowadays, many Chinese cities have experienced “population inversion,” migrants have become the majority population of some Chinese cities. To gain insights into the urban newcomers' online information ground (OIG) in China, we interviewed 10 urban newcomers in China though Wechat (an instant messaging service) and employed content analysis to analyze what are the characteristics of Chinese urban newcomers' OIG. The preliminary findings show that the online task‐forced group is an extension of information ground; OIG becomes the main information resource for urban newcomers and helps them settle down quickly; OIG is relatively temporary.
Grounding practice in theory: Exploring the education angle
Authors: VanScoy Amy , Julien Heidi , Harding Alison
Published: October 2020

Preparing future information professionals includes educating them about relevant theories and models. This study explores the extent to which education for information services draws on information behavior theories, models, and concepts, particularly how instructors' choices influence the integration of information behavior into their basic reference course. Building on previous research that analyzed the syllabi and readings for basic reference courses, this study used semi‐structured interviews to explore how information behavior may be integrated into courses in ways that are not visible in the syllabus and why certain theories were more likely to be presented in the course. The 17 instructors interviewed included tenure‐track faculty, lecturers, and adjuncts who integrated information behavior theories, models, and concepts to varying degrees in their courses. By showing how choices are made to integrate theories, models, and concepts in LIS courses, the study results may inform both researchers and instructors who week to bridge the theory/practice gap.
Examining social media communication about childhood vaccination: An analysis using question‐answer data from Quora
Authors: Lee Kijung
Published: October 2020

In this project, we conducted a quasi‐experimental study to demonstrate the effects of “answerer's profession (IV1)” and “factual arguments in the answer (IV2) on the “user's promotion for healthcare answers (DV)”. The data was collected from Quora based on a question about childhood vaccination. Findings suggest that the number of upvotes given to answers by healthcare professional versus those provided by lay users depends upon whether their answers contain factual arguments or not, F(1, 96) = 5.229, p < .05. Generally, answers provided by healthcare professionals received higher upvotes than those provided by answerers who are not healthcare professionals. Also, when there were factual arguments in the answers, they received more upvotes than answers without them.
Protecting participant privacy while maintaining content and context: Challenges in qualitative data De‐identification and sharing
Authors: Myers Claire A. , Long Shelby E. , Polasek Faye O.
Published: October 2020

The Library Assessment for Research and Scholarship Lab investigates qualitative research support across disciplines. In 2018–2019, the lab conducted 29 interviews with faculty, librarians, and doctoral students who engaged in qualitative research to understand their needs during the research lifecycle. At the conclusion of this project, the qualitative data will be deposited in a repository where it can be made available for future secondary use. The deposited data will include de‐identified versions of the complete interview transcripts. This poster supplements existing de‐identification standards, details drafting and revising protocol for de‐identification of our data, and discusses the de‐identification process we used for the qualitative data. Existing de‐identification literature and standards are limited and not widely uniform in qualitative research. In developing de‐identification protocol, our lab recognized several potential challenges in the process and created procedures to ensure future data usability. There is inherent tension between keeping privacy intact and sharing undistorted qualitative data. We aim to address some of the hazards with de‐identification best practices, demonstrating methodology for producing high quality de‐identified qualitative data. In offering up a test case with suggested methods to better protect participants' identities, this work will lend itself to sustainable qualitative data sharing and reuse.
Right this way: Exploring the use of mobile maps in Street‐Level wayfinding
Authors: Noone Rebecca
Published: October 2020

The poster explores practices of street‐level wayfinding mediated through the mobile digital map. To study everyday wayfinding, I approached people in the streets of Toronto, New York, Amsterdam and London, and asked for directions, requesting they draw their instructions. In total, I collected 220 drawings and corresponding observational fieldnotes, along with 20 supplemental interviews. Following collection, I used visual grounded theory (Konecki, Revija Za Socilologiju, 2011, 41, 131–160) and situational analysis (Clarke, Situational analysis: Grounded theory after the postmodern turn, 2005) to analyze the data, concentrating on encounters in which informants used a mobile mapping platform. The poster showcases a selection of the visual dataset and presents a theoretical framework for assessing the everyday applications of mobile mapping platforms such as Google Maps in relation to presumptions of reliability, seamlessness, and claims to space.
Librarians' attitude toward providing environmental literacy services in the states of California, Florida, and Georgia
Authors: Ren Xiaoai
Published: October 2020

In 2018, American Library Association identified sustainability as a major national trend and sustainability was added into the list of the core values of librarianship. The core values are the foundations of modern librarianship. Based on this value, libraries play an important and unique role in promoting community awareness about resilience, climate change and a sustainable future. They are also leading by example by taking steps to reduce their environmental footprint. The goal of this study is to understand librarians' perceptions of their roles and responsibilities in providing environmental literacy services in their communities, and to identify their current practices in providing educational literacy services, and the perceived challenges in doing so in the states of California, Florida, and Georgia. The findings will uncover the current environmental literacy services in libraries, librarian's perceptions of libraries' roles and responsibility for building sustainable and resilient communities in terms of climate change. It will also contribute to the discussions on grassroots community‐based activities on social changes amid the discussion of climate change.

Introduction or Objective

Men with favorable‐risk prostate cancer (PCa) on active surveillance may benefit from intervention strategies to slow or prevent disease progression and the need for definitive treatment. Pomegranate and its extracts have shown antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects in cell lines and animal models, but its effect on human prostate cancer as a target tissue remain unclear. Objectives of this trial include pomegranate's ability to alter serum and prostate tissue biomarkers and the ability of an active surveillance cohort to adhere to a chemoprevention trial for 1 year.

Methods

Men with organ‐confined, favorable‐risk PCa on AS were randomly assigned to receive pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) 1000 mg (n = 15) or placebo (n = 15) once daily for twelve months. Prostate biopsies were performed at study entry and upon completion of the 1‐year intervention. Plasma and urinary biomarkers were analyzed utilizing immunoassays and HPLC. Tissue proteins were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and measured by automated quantitation.

Results

PFE was well‐tolerated with no significant toxicities. One patient withdrew before study initiation and 29 completed the 1‐year intervention. No differences in plasma insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) levels, prostate‐specific antigen doubling time, or biopsy kinetics were observed. Metabolites including urolithin A and urolithin A‐gluc were detected more frequently in the PFE arm in both urine and plasma (p < .001 and p = .006, respectively). IHC analyses revealed reductions from baseline in 8‐OHdG (a DNA damage marker) (p = .01) and androgen receptor expression (p = .04) in prostate tumor associated with PFE treatment.

Conclusion

PFE administration for 12‐month was well‐tolerated and the protocol followed in an active surveillance population. Analyses suggest that PFE contains bioactive compounds capable of altering biomarkers involving oxidative stress and androgen signaling in prostate tumor and normal‐appearing adjacent tissue. No alterations in the IGF axis were noted. This finding of study adherence and target activity provides a rationale for the further investigation of PFE in the active surveillance population.
Higher moments matter! Cross‐sectional (higher) moments and the predictability of stock returns
Authors: Stöckl Sebastian , Kaiser Lars
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we investigate the predictive power of signals imputed from the cross‐section of stock returns—namely cross‐sectional volatility, skewness, and kurtosis—to forecast the time series. Adding to the existing literature, which documents cross‐sectional volatility to forecast a decline in the equity premium with high in‐ and out‐of‐sample predictive power, we highlight the additional role of cross‐sectional skewness and cross‐sectional kurtosis. Applying a principal component approach, we show that cross‐sectional higher moments add statistically and economically significant to the predictive quality of cross‐sectional volatility by stabilizing its predictive performance and yielding a positive trend in in‐sample and out‐of‐sample predictive quality for the equity premium. Additionally, we show that cross‐sectional skewness and cross‐sectional kurtosis span the predictive power of cross‐sectional volatility for disaggregated returns with respect to size and value.
Traffic noise exposure, cognitive decline, and amyloid‐beta pathology in an AD mouse model
Authors: Karem Hadil , Mehla Jogender , Kolb Bryan E. , Mohajerani Majid H.
Published: October 2020

Concerns are growing that exposure to environmental pollutants, such as traffic noise, might cause cognitive impairments and predispose individuals toward the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. In this study in a knock‐in mouse model of AD, we investigated how chronic traffic noise exposure (CTNE) impacts cognitive performance and amyloid‐beta (Aβ) pathology. A group of APPNL‐G‐F/NL‐G‐F mice was exposed to CTNE (70 dBA, 8 hr/day for 1 month) and compared with nonexposed counterparts. Following CTNE, an increase in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis responsivity was observed by corticosterone assay of the blood. One month after CTNE, the CTNE group demonstrated impairments in cognitive and motor functions, and indications of anxiety‐like behavior, relative to the control animals. The noise‐exposed group also showed elevated Aβ aggregation, as inferred by a greater number of plaques and larger average plaque size in various regions of the brain, including regions involved in stress regulation. The results support that noise‐associated dysregulation of the neuroendocrine system as a potential risk factor for developing cognitive impairment and Aβ pathology, which should be further investigated in human studies.

Published: October 2020

Objective

Transperineal ultrasound is a simple and highly repeatable method that has been used increasingly in the quantification of pelvic organ prolapse, but abnormal uterine descent on ultrasound in Chinese women is still poorly defined. We aimed to determine the optimal cut‐off to define abnormal uterine descent on transperineal ultrasound in Chinese women.

Methods

This prospective multicenter study recruited women who were examined in tertiary‐level gynecological centers, due to symptoms of lower urinary tract and/or pelvic floor dysfunction, between February 2017 and September 2018. All recruited women underwent a standardized interview, pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP‐Q) examination, and four‐dimensional transperineal ultrasound examination. On ultrasound, uterine descent was measured relative to the posteroinferior margin of the symphysis pubis during maximum Valsalva maneuver. The optimal cut‐off value for definition of abnormal uterine descent was selected as the value with the highest Youden index and the diagnostic performance of this cut‐off for the prediction of prolapse symptoms and POP‐Q stage was assessed and compared by means of the area under the receiver‐operating‐characteristics curve (AUC).

Results

In total, 538 Chinese women, with a mean age of 39.4 (range, 18–81) years, were enrolled into the study. Both uterine descent on transperineal ultrasound (P < 0.001) and POP‐Q stage (P < 0.001) were associated strongly with presence of prolapse symptoms. Uterine descent on ultrasound was associated significantly with POP‐Q stage for apical compartment prolapse (P < 0.001). The optimal cut‐off value for the definition of abnormal uterine descent on transperineal ultrasound during maximum Valsalva maneuver in the prediction of prolapse symptoms was 4.79 mm above the symphysis pubis (AUC, 0.75 (95% CI, 0.71–0.78)), while the optimal cut‐off values in the prediction of prolapse of POP‐Q Stage ≥ 1 and POP‐Q Stage ≥ 2 were 6.63 mm above the symphysis pubis (AUC, 0.83 (95% CI, 0.80–0.86)) and 8.42 mm below the symphysis pubis (AUC, 0.85 (95% CI, 0.82–0.88)), respectively.

Conclusions

The optimal cut‐off value to define abnormal uterine descent on transperineal ultrasound during maximum Valsalva maneuver for the prediction of prolapse symptoms in this population of Chinese women was 4.79 mm above the symphysis pubis, close to that for predicting apical compartment prolapse of POP‐Q Stage ≥ 1 (6.63 mm above the symphysis pubis). These are somewhat different from values described previously in mainly Caucasian populations. Ethnic differences should be taken into account in the evaluation of pelvic organ prolapse using transperineal ultrasound. © 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology
BTZ one-loop determinants via the Selberg zeta function for general spin
Authors: Keeler Cynthia , Martin Victoria L. , Svesko Andrew
Published: October 2020

Abstract

We relate the heat kernel and quasinormal mode methods of computing the 1-loop partition function of arbitrary spin fields on a rotating (Euclidean) BTZ background using the Selberg zeta function associated with ℍ3/ℤ, extending (arXiv:1811.08433) [1]. Previously, Perry and Williams [2] showed for a scalar field that the zeros of the Selberg zeta function coincide with the poles of the associated scattering operator upon a relabeling of integers. We extend the integer relabeling to the case of general spin, and discuss its relationship to the removal of non-square-integrable Euclidean zero modes.
Switching from a traditional undergraduate programme in (clinical) pharmacology and therapeutics to a problem-based learning programme
Authors: Brinkman David J. , Monteiro Teresa , Monteiro Emilia C. , Richir Milan C. , van Agtmael Michiel A. , Tichelaar Jelle
Published: October 2020

Purpose

The pharmacology and clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT) education during the undergraduate medical curriculum of NOVA Medical School, Lisbon, Portugal, was changed from a traditional programme (i.e. discipline-based, lectures) to a problem-based learning (PBL) programme (i.e. integrated, case-based discussions) without an increase in teaching hours. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this change improved the prescribing competencies of final-year medical students.

Methods

Final-year students from both programmes (2015 and 2019) were invited to complete a validated prescribing assessment and questionnaire. The assessment comprised 24 multiple-choice questions in three subdomains (working mechanism, side-effects and interactions/contraindications), and five clinical case scenarios of common diseases. The questionnaire focused on self-reported prescribing confidence, preparedness for future prescribing task and education received.

Results

In total, 36 (22%) final-year medical students from the traditional programme and 54 (23%) from the PBL programme participated. Overall, students in the PBL programme had significantly higher knowledge scores than students in the traditional programme (76% (SD 9) vs 67% (SD 15); p = 0.002). Additionally, students in the PBL programme made significantly fewer inappropriate therapy choices (p = 0.023) and fewer erroneous prescriptions than did students in the traditional programme (p = 0.27). Students in the PBL programme felt more confident in prescribing, felt better prepared for prescribing as junior doctor and completed more drug prescriptions during their medical training.

Conclusion

Changing from a traditional programme to an integrated PBL programme in pharmacology and CPT during the undergraduate medical curriculum may improve the prescribing competencies of final-year students.
Low energy availability: history, definition and evidence of its endocrine, metabolic and physiological effects in prospective studies in females and males
Authors: Areta José L. , Taylor Harry L. , Koehler Karsten
Published: October 2020

Energy availability (EA) is defined as the amount of dietary energy available to sustain physiological function after subtracting the energetic cost of exercise. Insufficient EA due to increased exercise, reduced energy intake, or a combination of both, is a potent disruptor of the endocrine milieu. As such, EA is conceived as a key etiological factor underlying a plethora of physiological dysregulations described in the female athlete triad, its male counterpart and the Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport models. Originally developed upon female-specific physiological responses, this concept has recently been extended to males, where experimental evidence is limited. The majority of data for all these models are from cross-sectional or observational studies where hypothesized chronic low energy availability (LEA) is linked to physiological maladaptation. However, the body of evidence determining causal effects of LEA on endocrine, and physiological function through prospective studies manipulating EA is comparatively small, with interventions typically lasting ≤ 5 days. Extending laboratory-based findings to the field requires recognition of the strengths and limitations of current knowledge. To aid this, this review will: (1) provide a brief historical overview of the origin of the concept in mammalian ecology through its evolution of algebraic calculations used in humans today, (2) Outline key differences from the ‘energy balance’ concept, (3) summarise and critically evaluate the effects of LEA on tissues/systems for which we now have evidence, namely: hormonal milieu, reproductive system endocrinology, bone metabolism and skeletal muscle; and finally (4) provide perspectives and suggestions for research upon identified knowledge gaps.
Integrierte Versorgung für Borderline-Patient*innen
Authors: Schindler Andreas , Neshatrooh Pujan , Krog Katharina
Published: October 2020

Zur Behandlung der Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung (BPS) liegen mehrere evidenzbasierte Behandlungsmodelle vor. Die derzeitigen Versorgungsstrukturen werden dieser Patient*innengruppe aber so wenig gerecht, dass immer noch der größte Teil der in Deutschland für die BPS aufgewendeten Mittel in stationäre Kriseninterventionen fließt. Diese bleiben ebenso wie geplante stationäre Behandlungen oft Stückwerk, weil keine ambulante Anschlussbehandlung zustande kommt. Viele, gerade schwer kranke Patient*innen finden gar keine ambulante Behandlung. Sofern ambulante Psychotherapien zu Stande kommen, scheitern diese oft in Krisensituationen. Die in den Behandlungsleitlinien explizit empfohlenen integrierten und vernetzten Strukturen einer Komplexbehandlung fehlen bislang weitgehend. Eine Möglichkeit zur Verbesserung dieser Situation kann der Rückgriff auf Strukturen der Integrierten Versorgung (IV) sein, die konzeptuell störungsspezifisch ausgestaltet werden müssen.

Mit dem Hamburger Modell der Integrierten Versorgung – Borderline wurde ein DBT-basiertes, multimodales, langfristig angelegtes, krisenfestes Behandlungskonzept für die Behandlung von Patient*innen mit schwerer BPS entwickelt. Vordringliche Ziele sind die Förderung der funktionalen Selbstregulation, vor allem im Bereich der Emotionen, die Verbesserung der Lebensqualität, der Abbau selbstschädigenden Verhaltens und die Reduktion stationärer Kriseninterventionen. Zentrales Element dieses Konzeptes ist ein ambulantes, interdisziplinäres Team, das zugleich IV-Team und DBT-Team ist. Dieses arbeitet in einem psychiatrischen Krankenhaus mit regionalem Versorgungsauftrag und nutzt dessen Strukturen.

Erste Evaluationsdaten weisen auf eine Verbesserung des Funktionsniveaus und eine deutliche Reduktion der BPS-Symptomatik hin. Außerdem verringerte sich die Zahl der stationären Krankenhaustage erheblich. Das Modell scheint in der Lage zu sein, schwer kranke Borderline-Patient*innen weitestgehend ambulant erfolgreich zu behandeln. Es könnte also dazu beitragen, die Fragmentierung der Behandlungsangebote für Borderline-Betroffene zu überwinden.
Do wild tamarins reconcile? Two case reports from moustached tamarins
Authors: Heymann Eckhard W.
Published: October 2020

Mechanisms of conflict resolution, e.g. reconciliation, have been reported from a number of group-living animals, particularly primates. However, whether or not conflict resolution occurs in the cooperatively breeding callitrichids (marmosets and tamarins) remains a matter of debate. Captive studies provide contrasting evidence for the occurrence of reconciliation, and no evidence has been previously available for wild groups. Here, I present data on post-conflict behaviour in wild moustached tamarins,Saguinus mystax, which suggest that reconciliation occurs among wild callitrichids, too. However, reconciliation seems to occur very rarely among these primates, probably due to the generally peaceful nature of their social relations.

Agility in humanitarian supply chain: an organizational information processing perspective and relational view
Authors: Dubey Rameshwar , Bryde David J. , Foropon Cyril , Graham Gary , Giannakis Mihalis , Mishra Deepa Bhatt
Published: October 2020

Humanitarian organizations are increasingly facing challenges in terms of improving the efficiency and the effectiveness of their disaster relief efforts. These challenges often arise due to a lack of trust, poor collaboration and an inability to respond to disaster affected areas in a timely manner. Our study attempts to understand how these challenges are overcome by seeking answers to questions related to the topics of swift-trust, collaboration and agility in humanitarian supply chains. For instance, in our study we have attempted to examine how information sharing and supply chain visibility in humanitarian supply chains improve the swift-trust among the humanitarian actors engaged in disaster relief operations. Further, we attempt to understand how-swift trust, commitment and collaboration among the humanitarian actors improve the agility in humanitarian supply chains. In our study we provide both theoretical and data-driven answers to our stated research gaps. Our theoretical model is firmly grounded in organizational information process theory and relational view. We tested our research hypotheses using variance based structural equation modelling with survey data collected using a web based pre-tested instrument from 147 NGOs respondents drawn from the National Disaster Management Authority database. Our results help to advance the theoretical debates surrounding “swift-trust”, “collaboration” and “agility” in humanitarian settings. We further provide direction to managers engaged in disaster relief operations. The humanitarian actors engaged in disaster relief often fail to understand how to build swift-trust. Moreover, how swift-trust further affects commitment and collaboration which in turn further affect agility in humanitarian supply chains. Thus humanitarian organizations must understand how information sharing and supply chain visibility is key to swift-trust among humanitarian actors and agility in humanitarian supply chains. Finally, we outline the limitations of our study and offer some future research directions for investigation.
Metacognitive illusion or self-regulated learning? Assessing engineering students’ learning strategies against the backdrop of recent advances in cognitive science
Authors: Cervin-Ellqvist Maria , Larsson Daniel , Adawi Tom , Stöhr Christian , Negretti Raffaella
Published: October 2020

Knowing how students approach learning in higher education contexts is key to promote learning strategies that are effective in the long run. Previous research has concluded that students often use ineffective learning strategies but believe them to be effective—a phenomenon known as metacognitive illusion. In a bid to broaden the perspective on students’ use of learning strategies, this study draws on the notion of self-regulated learning as a theoretical lens. A questionnaire, comprising both open-ended and closed-ended questions, was developed to gather data from 416 engineering students. The questionnaire was geared towards (1) mapping what learning strategies students use in a real-world setting, in real courses, (2) probing their metacognitive awareness of the effectiveness of various learning strategies and (3) investigating why students choose certain learning strategies. We also compared which learning strategies the engineering students chose across programs and types of courses. The findings reveal a complex picture of why students sometimes use seemingly ineffective learning strategies, and we conclude that this is not always due to metacognitive illusion. It is instead often linked to attempts to regulate behaviour, motivation and/or learning context, sometimes in response to the context. This study adds to the current HE research investigating students’ abilities to reflect on, assess and take control of their learning in an effective way, confirming that students need explicit guidance.
Is it expensive to be poor? Public transport in Sweden
Authors: Bondemark Anders , Andersson Henrik , Wretstrand Anders , Brundell-Freij Karin
Published: October 2020

One of the reasons to subsidise public transport is to improve the mobility of low-income groups by providing affordable public transport; however, the literature describes a situation whereby those with a low income are unable to afford the cheapest tickets per trip, i.e. travelcards, as they usually require a considerable up-front cost. In this study, we use a large dataset from the Swedish National Travel Survey to investigate whether, and if so how, income explains monthly travelcard possession among individuals for whom this would have been the least expensive option. We find a robust positive relationship between income and travelcard possession among low-income earners, indicating that those with a low income pay more to use public transport than more affluent individuals. As the accessibility of low-income groups is an important motivation for public transport subsidies, the findings from this study have important policy implications.

Published: October 2020

Persons with their eye closed and without any means of communication is said to be in a completely locked-in state (CLIS) while when they could still open their eyes actively or passively and have some means of communication are said to be in locked-in state (LIS). Two patients in CLIS without any means of communication, and one patient in the transition from LIS to CLIS with means of communication, who have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis were followed at a regular interval for more than 1 year. During each visit, resting-state EEG was recorded before the brain–computer interface (BCI) based communication sessions. The resting-state EEG of the patients was analyzed to elucidate the evolution of their EEG spectrum over time with the disease’s progression to provide future BCI-research with the relevant information to classify changes in EEG evolution. Comparison of power spectral density (PSD) of these patients revealed a significant difference in the PSD’s of patients in CLIS without any means of communication and the patient in the transition from LIS to CLIS with means of communication. The EEG of patients without any means of communication is devoid of alpha, beta, and higher frequencies than the patient in transition who still had means of communication. The results show that the change in the EEG frequency spectrum may serve as an indicator of the communication ability of such patients.
Anisotropic double-phase problems with indefinite potential: multiplicity of solutions
Authors: Papageorgiou Nikolaos S. , Qin Dongdong , Rădulescu Vicenţiu D.
Published: October 2020

We consider an anisotropic double-phase problem plus an indefinite potential. The reaction is superlinear. Using variational tools together with truncation, perturbation and comparison techniques and critical groups, we prove a multiplicity theorem producing five nontrivial smooth solutions, all with sign information and ordered. In this process we also prove two results of independent interest, namely a maximum principle for anisotropic double-phase problems and a strong comparison principle for such solutions.
Potential Theory and Geometry on Lie Groups
Authors: Varopoulos N. Th.
Published: October 2020

This book provides a complete and reasonably self-contained account of a new classification of connected Lie groups into two classes. The first part describes the use of tools from potential theory to establish the classification and to show that the analytic and algebraic approaches to the classification are equivalent. Part II covers geometric theory of the same classification and a proof that it is equivalent to the algebraic approach. Part III is a new approach to the geometric classification that requires more advanced geometric technology, namely homotopy, homology and the theory of currents. Using these methods, a more direct, but also more sophisticated, approach to the equivalence of the geometric and algebraic classification is made. Background material is introduced gradually to familiarise readers with ideas from areas such as Lie groups, differential topology and probability, in particular, random walks on groups. Numerous open problems inspire students to explore further.

Response Prediction and Dynamic Substructuring for Coupled Structures in the Frequency Domain
Authors: Liao X. H. , Wu W. F. , Meng H. D. , Zhao J. B.
Published: October 2020

To evaluate the dynamic properties of a coupled structure based on the dynamic properties of its substructures, this paper investigates the dynamic substructuring issue from the perspective of response prediction. The main idea is that the connecting forces at the interface of substructures can be expressed by the unknown coupled structural responses, and the responses can be solved rather easily. Not only rigidly coupled structures but also resiliently coupled structures are investigated. In order to further comprehend and visualize the nature of coupling problems, the Neumann series expansion for a matrix describing the relation between the coupled and uncoupled substructures is also introduced in this paper. Compared with existing response prediction methods, the proposed method does not have to measure any forces, which makes it easier to apply than the others. Clearly, the frequency response function matrix of coupled structures can be derived directly based on the response prediction method. Compared with existing frequency response function synthesis methods, it is more straightforward and comprehensible. Through demonstration of two examples, it is concluded that the proposed method can deal with structural coupling problems very well.
ON A GENERALIZED FRAÏSSÉ LIMIT CONSTRUCTION AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE JIANG–SU ALGEBRA
Authors: MASUMOTO SHUHEI
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we present a version of Fraïssé theory for categories of metric structures. Using this version, we show that every UHF algebra can be recognized as a Fraïssé limit of a class of C*-algebras of matrix-valued continuous functions on cubes with distinguished traces. We also give an alternative proof of the fact that the Jiang–Su algebra is the unique simple monotracial C*-algebra among all the inductive limits of prime dimension drop algebras.
ELEMENTARY EQUIVALENCE THEOREM FOR PAC STRUCTURES
Authors: DOBROWOLSKI JAN , HOFFMANN DANIEL MAX , LEE JUNGUK
Published: October 2020

We generalize a well-known theorem binding the elementary equivalence relation on the level of PAC fields and the isomorphism type of their absolute Galois groups. Our results concern two cases: saturated PAC structures and nonsaturated PAC structures.
The Same Only Different: Reflections on Robert Kagan’s Adversarial Legalism
Authors: Friedman Lawrence M.
Published: October 2020

Robert A. Kagan’s influential book, first published at the beginning of the twenty-first century, is now brought up to date with a second edition. “Adversarial legalism,” in Kagan’s view, distinguishes law in the United States from the law of other developed countries in many ways, for example, heavy use of policymaking through litigation and punitive regulation, as opposed to bureaucratic and conciliatory techniques. He suggests that this situation is likely to continue. This essay, however, looks at the same phenomena from the standpoint of similarities rather than differences. It suggests that powerful economic and cultural forces, common to the modern world of developed countries, tend to push the legal systems of these countries in parallel directions. Convergence, rather than divergence, is therefore the trend in the legal systems of the Western world; and this trend is likely to continue in the future.
Sedimentology and palaeontology of the Upper Karoo Group in the Mid-Zambezi Basin, Zimbabwe: new localities and their implications for interbasinal correlation

The Triassic–Jurassic Upper Karoo Group of the Mid-Zambezi Basin (MZB; Zimbabwe) includes a thick succession of terrestrial sediments with high palaeontological potential that has been neglected since the 1970s. Here, we review the Upper Karoo Group stratigraphy, present detailed sedimentological work and identify new vertebrate-bearing sites at several measured sections along the southern shore of Lake Kariba. These fossil-bearing sites fall within the Pebbly Arkose and Forest Sandstone formations, and are the first to be recorded from the region since the discovery ofVulcanodon karibaensisnearly 50 years ago. The unique and diverse assemblage of aquatic and terrestrial fauna reported includes phytosaurs, metoposaurid amphibians, lungfish, non-dinosaurian archosauromorphs and non-sauropod sauropodomorph dinosaurs. This improvement of Upper Karoo Group biostratigraphy is important in refining its temporal resolution, and impacts both regional and global studies. Finally, the new fossil sites demonstrate the palaeontological importance of the MZB and its role in providing a holistic understanding of early Mesozoic ecosystems in southern Gondwana.
The Church of England Advisory Council of Empire Settlement and Post-War Child Migration to Australia
Authors: LYNCH GORDON
Published: October 2020

Between 1947 and 1965, 408 British children were sent to Australia under the auspices of the Church of England Advisory Council of Empire Settlement and its successor bodies. Situating this work in wider policy contexts, this article examines how the council involved itself in this work with support from some senior clergy and laity despite being poorly resourced to do so. Noting the council's failure to maintain standards expected of this work by the Home Office and child-care professionals, the article considers factors underlying this which both reflected wider tensions over child migration in the post-war period as well as those specific to the council.
Evaluating the utility of pre-operative airway assessment for intubation management in difficult airway patients
Authors: Narula S , Mann D S , Sadana N , Vasan N R
Published: October 2020

Objective

To assess intubation management in difficult airway patients by performing a multidisciplinary pre-operative examination of the airway using a flexible fibre-optic laryngoscope.

Methods

Patients with a known but stable difficult airway were evaluated prior to surgery in the pre-operative holding suite by both an ENT surgeon and an anaesthesiologist via a fibre-optic laryngeal examination.

Results

Performing a pre-operative fibre-optic examination of the difficult airway led to a change in intubation strategy in 6 out of 12 cases. Intubation ‘first-pass’ success occurred in 9 out of 12 (75 per cent) of our patients.

Conclusion

By performing a multidisciplinary airway examination immediately prior to surgery, a safe plan to intubate on the initial attempt was developed. This resulted in improved first-pass success at intubation compared to historical data.
