What competence do software companies want from university graduates?
Authors: Stålhane Tor , Deraas Bendik , Sindre Guttorm 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
An important concern for study program design is the employability of candidates. This paper seeks to establish what competence is sought by employers of IT candidates, based on interviews with representatives from 120 Norwegian companies working with IT. The results have been analysed to identify what the IT industry expect from university candidates. For the whole sample, the most frequently mentioned characteristics were programming knowledge, adaptability, the willingness to learn new things and problem-solving skills. If we only consider the companies that develop software, the most frequently mentioned characteristics were programming knowledge, the willingness to learn new things and communication skills. The interviewees were also asked which characteristics that they were missing from university candidates. The most mentioned shortcomings were practical experience with coding and maintenance, adaptability and communication skills when relating to clients. Towards the end of the article, it is discussed how the university can improve in these respects.
The industry’s focus on adaptability and the willingness to learn new things indicates that the time when it was considered important that graduates knew how to use specific tools is over. The IT-industry has come to realize that they cannot escape a future of frequent changes to tools and methods.
Una classificazione dei segnali discorsivi in italiano
Authors: Khachaturyan Elizaveta 
Published: September 2020

This paper presents an approach to the description of discourse markers (DMs) which is based on the studies (from semantic and syntactic perspectives) on the material of different languages. A classification of DMs elaborated during this work based on semantic and syntactic criteria is presented and illustrated, in the article, by Italian examples. The following DMs are described : davvero, veramente, dico ; diciamo (It.) - disons (Fr.) ; tu vois (Fr.).
Each subclass (independently of the individual semantics of the word) accomplishes a particular task in the discourse and is characterised by general semantic and syntactic features. Moreover, the form of the DM can often indicate to which subclass it belongs. This kind of classification can give necessary cues for contrastive analysis, it can explain as well how to distinguish DMs of the same function and help in the acquisition of DMs (L2) and in translation. The advantages of a similar approach are illustrated by several examples from Italian and French.
The role of verb semantics in genitive alternations: genitive of negation and genitive of intensionality
Authors: Partee Barbara H , Borschev Vladimir , Paducheva Elena , Testelets Yakov , Yanovich Igor 
Published: September 2020

Our goal is to capture what the different instances of Gen/Nom and Gen/Acc have in common semantically while still respecting the multiplicity of factors involved and not predicting more uniformity than is actually found. Our main idea
is to treat Gen Neg and Gen Int as a “diathesis shift”, a “demotion” into a noncanonical subject or object position, semantically of type (e,t), thereby accounting for “decreased individuation/ referentiality”.
Cross-Linguistic Evidence and the Licensing of Implicit Arguments
Authors: Pethő Gergely , Kardos Eva 
Published: September 2020

This paper discusses the occurrence and the licensing of implicit object
arguments, also referred to in the literature as null complements or
understood arguments. Functionalist accounts (such as those by
Groefsema and Németh T. which are couched in a relevance-theoretic
framework) have repeatedly claimed that this phenomenon is
fundamentally dependent on dis\-course-interpretational factors. In
particular, it has been stated that implicit arguments can be used in
Hungarian in a rather unrestricted way, and their occurrence is only
limited by considerations of interpretability. We argue against both of
these positions and try to show that cross-linguistic data can assist
in revealing the circular nature and ultimate inadequacy of existing
functional accounts of implicit argument licensing.

Authors: Are Stephen Olusegun , Ekum Matthew Iwada 
Published: September 2020

Aims: To visualize COVID-19 data using Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to tell the COVID-19 story expository.
Study Design: The study uses EDA approach to visualize the COVID-19 data. The study uses secondary data collected from World Health Organization (WHO) in a panel form and partition the world using WHO regions. Moment about a midpoint and EDA are jointly used to analyze the data.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Statistical Laboratory, Lagos State Polytechnic and Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro. The data used covered all regions of the world from January 2020 to July 2020.
Methodology: We included 198 countries (cross-sections) partitioned into 7 WHO regions over 7 months (190 days) time period, spanning 3000 datasets. The EDA and moment about a midpoint is used for the analysis. This is a purely descriptive and expository analysis to tell the story of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Results: The total sample points used for this analysis are 30,010, which can be taken as a big data and it is large enough to assume the central limit theorem. The results of the analysis showed that cumulative cases and deaths are increasing but at a slower rate. Some WHO region curves are already flattening.
Conclusion: The study concluded that average number of new cases and new deaths will decrease in coming months but there will be increase in the cumulative cases and deaths but at a slower rate.

Published: September 2020

Bilateral olecranon fractures are a rare occurrence. Direct trauma usually results in comminuted fractures and indirect trauma in transverse fractures. We describe a case of bilateral olecranon fracture with a radial head comminuted fracture with coronoid fracture without the involvement of collaterals. Olecranon fractures are usually a result of direct trauma (fall from height/motor vehicle accidents) or indirect trauma. A 22year old male patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of pain and swelling around both elbows following a motor vehicle accident. The patient also sustained trauma to the head and had a history of transient loss of consciousness. CT brain at the time of presentation was normal and the patient was conscious. The Olecranon Fracture was fixed with a pre-contoured olecranon locking compression plate (Synthes, USA). In our case, the collaterals were intact and as the radial head was comminuted, we excised the radial head. The radial head being secondary stabilizer of the elbow in injuries to the medial collateral ligament complex. The excision of the radial head would not cause any instability. Bilateral olecranon fractures need to be fixed anatomically, the comminuted radial head was excised and the anterior capsule was repaired.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background and Purpose
To determine reasons for failed recanalization in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) of the posterior circulation.

Methods
Retrospective single center analysis of reasons for MT failure in the posterior circulation. Failed MTs were categorized according to the reason for procedure failure in failed vascular access, failed passage of the target vessel occlusion and MT failure after passing the occluded target vessel. Patient characteristics were compared between failed and successful MT.

Results
Patients with failed MT (30/218 patients, 13.8%) were categorized into futile vascular access (13/30, 43.3%), abortive passage of the target vessel occlusion (6/30, 20.0%) and MT failure after passing the vessel occlusion (11/30, 36.7%). In 188/218 (86.2%) successful MTs alternative vascular access, local intra-arterial (i.a.) thrombolysis and emergency stent-assisted PTA prevented 65 MT failures. Patients with failed MT showed a higher NIHSS at discharge, a higher pc-ASPECTS in follow-up imaging, a higher mRS 90 days after stroke onset and a high mortality rate of 77.0% (mRS at 90 days, median (IQR): 6 (6–6) vs. 4 (2–6) for successful MT, p-value < 0.001). Co-morbidities and stroke etiology were not different compared to sufficient recanalization with atherosclerotic disease as the leading stroke etiology in both groups.

Conclusion
Failure of MT in posterior circulation ischemic stroke patients is associated with a high mortality rate. Reasons for MT failure are diverse with futile vascular access and MT failure after passing the vessel occlusion as the leading causes. Alternative vascular access, local i.a. thrombolysis and stent-assisted PTA can prevent MT failure.
Unraveling the effects of environmental drivers and spatial structure on benthic species distribution patterns in Eurasian-Arctic seas (Barents, Kara and Laptev Seas)

Published: September 2020

AbstractIn times of accelerating climate change, species are challenged to respond to rapidly shifting environmental settings. Yet, faunal distribution and composition are still scarcely known for remote and little explored seas, where observations are limited in number and mostly refer to local scales. Here, we present the first comprehensive study on Eurasian-Arctic macrobenthos that aims to unravel the relative influence of distinct spatial scales and environmental factors in determining their large-scale distribution and composition patterns. To consider the spatial structure of benthic distribution patterns in response to environmental forcing, we applied Moran’s eigenvector mapping (MEM) on a large dataset of 341 samples from the Barents, Kara and Laptev Seas taken between 1991 and 2014, with a total of 403 macrobenthic taxa (species or genera) that were present in ≥ 10 samples. MEM analysis revealed three spatial scales describing patterns within or beyond single seas (broad: ≥ 400 km, meso: 100–400 km, and small: ≤ 100 km). Each scale is associated with a characteristic benthic fauna and environmental drivers (broad: apparent oxygen utilization and phosphate, meso: distance-to-shoreline and temperature, small: organic carbon flux and distance-to-shoreline). Our results suggest that different environmental factors determine the variation of Eurasian-Arctic benthic community composition within the spatial scales considered and highlight the importance of considering the diverse spatial structure of species communities in marine ecosystems. This multiple-scale approach facilitates an enhanced understanding of the impact of climate-driven environmental changes that is necessary for developing appropriate management strategies for the conservation and sustainable utilization of Arctic marine systems.
Spondylodiscitis due to transmitted mycotic aortic aneurysm or infected grafts after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR): A retrospective single-centre experience with short-term outcomes
Authors: von der Höh Nicolas Heinz , Pieroh Philipp , Henkelmann Jeanette , Branzan Daniela , Völker Anna , Wiersbicki Dina , Heyde Christoph-Eckhard 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Purpose
To report the challenging therapeutic approach and the clinical outcome of patients with pyogenic spondylodiscitis transmitted due to infected retroperitoneal regions of primary infected mycotic aortic aneurysms (MAAs) or secondary infected aortic stent grafts after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Methods
Between 2012 and 2019, all patients suffering from spondylodiscitis based on a transmitted infection after the EVAR procedure were retrospectively identified. Patient data were analysed regarding the time between primary and secondary EVAR infection and spondylodiscitis detection, potential source of infection, pathogens, antibiotic treatment, complications, recovery from infection, mortality, numeric rating scale (NRS), COBB angle and cage subsidence.

Results
Fifteen patients with spondylodiscitis transmitted from primary or secondary infected aortic aneurysms after EVAR were included. The median follow-up time was 8 months (range 1–47). Surgery for spondylodiscitis was performed in 12 patients. In 9 patients, the infected graft was treated conservatively. MAAs were treated in 4 patients first with percutaneous aortic stent graft implantation followed by posterior surgery of the infected spinal region in a two-step procedure. Infection recovery was recorded in 11 patients during follow-up. The overall mortality rate was 27% (n = 4). The mean pain intensity improved from an NRS score of 8.4 (3.2–8.3) to 3.1 (1.3–6.7) at the last follow-up.

Conclusion
EVAR was used predominantly to treat primary infected MAAs. Secondary infected grafts were treated conservatively. Independent of vascular therapy, surgery of the spine led to recovery in most cases. Thus, surgery should be considered for the treatment of EVAR- and MAA-related spondylodiscitis.

Published: September 2020

AbstractThe global emphasis on stakeholder engagement in protected area management has increased over the last three decades. Here we present key values of statutory and non-statutory stakeholder groups as they relate to their relationship with the former Te Urewera National Park (NP), New Zealand, which is now recognised as “a legal entity” with “all the rights,powers, duties, and liabilities of a legal person.” Non-statutory stakeholders conveyed a close, personal connection to Te Urewera NP in terms of heritage and legacy, which include both consumptive (e.g., hunting; fishing) and non-consumptive use (e.g., sight-seeing, hiking, boating). In contrast, statutory stakeholders expressed a more distant and procedural relationship with the park. Both stakeholder groups perceived the possible transfer of ownership or governance of Te Urewera NP to Tūhoe (the Indigenous Māori peoples of the Te Urewera region) favourably and expressed a desire to be engaged in the future stewardship of the NP. Stakeholders considered the fostering of relations with Tūhoe and other stakeholder groups as important to nurturing and maintaining their links with the area in future. Importantly, common interests that emerge from these relationships can increase mutual understanding between cultures and willingness to collaborate. Moreover, we posit that the legal personhood status for protected areas will be a powerful tool for reconciling pluralistic values and enable deliberative processes and flexible modes of collaboration between Indigenous peoples and non-indigenous stakeholders.
Linearized Krylov subspace Bregman iteration with nonnegativity constraint
Authors: Buccini Alessandro , Pasha Mirjeta , Reichel Lothar 
Published: September 2020

AbstractBregman-type iterative methods have received considerable attention in recent years due to their ease of implementation and the high quality of the computed solutions they deliver. However, these iterative methods may require a large number of iterations and this reduces their usefulness. This paper develops a computationally attractive linearized Bregman algorithm by projecting the problem to be solved into an appropriately chosen low-dimensional Krylov subspace. The projection reduces the computational effort required for each iteration. A variant of this solution method, in which nonnegativity of each computed iterate is imposed, also is described. Extensive numerical examples illustrate the performance of the proposed methods.
Building ‘implicit partnerships’? Financial long-term care entitlements in Europe
Authors: Costa-Font Joan , Zigante Valentina 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThe design of public subsidies for long-term care (LTC) programmes to support frail, elderly individuals in Europe is subject to both tight budget constraints and increasing demand preassures for care. However, what helps overcoming the constraints that modify LTC entitlements? We provide a unifying explanation of the conditions that facilitate the modification of public financial entitlements to LTC. We build on the concept of ‘implicit partnerships’, an implicit (or ‘silent’) agreement, encompassing the financial co-participation of both public funders, and families either by both allocating time and/or financial resources to caregiving. Next, we provide suggestive evidence of policy reforms modifying public entitlements in seven European countries which can be classified as either ‘implicit user partnerships’ or ‘implicit caregiver partnerships’. Finally, we show that taxpayers attitudes mirror the specific type of implicit partnership each country has adopted. Hence, we conclude that the modification of long-term care entitlements require the formation of some type of ‘implicit partnership'.
Evaluation of patients’ knowledge about oral anticoagulant medicines and use of alert cards by community pharmacists

Published: September 2020

AbstractBackground Anticoagulants continue to pose high risk of harm to patients despite the discovery of novel direct-acting oral anticoagulant agents that require less monitoring than warfarin. Objective To evaluate patients’ knowledge about their oral anticoagulants and the potential role for community pharmacists in optimising safety. Setting Community pharmacies in England. Methods An online survey-based evaluation conducted over a 5-month period to ascertain patients’ knowledge, use of anticoagulant alert cards, compliance with national monitoring requirements for warfarin, and frequency and nature of community pharmacist involvement in optimisation. Differences between patients on direct-acting oral anticoagulant agents and warfarin were assessed using Chi squared tests. Main outcome measure Patients’ knowledge and use of anticoagulant alert cards. Results A total of 1515 pharmacies participated. Of 22,624 patients, 97% knew that they were taking anticoagulants; 20% had alert cards with them at time of dispensing; 17% had no card and 10% refuted their usefulness. Patients on warfarin were more aware of interactions with over-the-counter or herbal medicines than those on direct-acting oral anticoagulant agents. Of the patients on warfarin, 82% confirmed monitoring in the previous 12 weeks in accordance with national standards, with the international normalised ratio value known for 76%. Pharmacists intervened in a fifth of the patients to issue an alert card, contact the general practitioner for a change in the prescription or due to interacting medicines. Conclusion Patients had reasonable knowledge of their anticoagulation therapy, but areas for improvement were identified. Community pharmacists are well placed to optimise the safe use of anticoagulants.

Published: September 2020

AbstractFe@SiO2 core–shell model catalysts were investigated for the conversion of CO2 and H2 into CH4, CO and H2O. For evaluation of the effect of core size on the catalytic activity, samples with Fe particle sizes of 4, 6 and 8 nm were prepared. Fresh and spent catalysts were thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, temperature programmed hydrogenation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As a result, the yield of the major product CO as well as CH4 was increased with Fe core size. Additionally, growing Fe cores led to stronger carburization and higher amount of reactive carbide entities, which drive the CH4 formation. Finally, formation of inactive bulk carbon deposition is strongly suppressed for the core–shell catalysts in comparison to bulk iron oxide catalysts used for CO2 hydrogenation.
The impact of artificial intelligence on event experiences: a scenario technique approach
Authors: Neuhofer Barbara , Magnus Bianca , Celuch Krzysztof 
Published: September 2020

AbstractDigital technologies are transforming human relations, interactions and experiences in the business landscape. Whilst a great potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the service industries is predicted, the concrete influence of AI on customer experiences remains little understood. Drawing upon the service-dominant (SD) logic as a theoretical lens and a scenario technique approach, this study explores the impact of artificial intelligence as an operant resource on event experiences. The findings offer a conceptualisation of three distinct future scenarios for the year 2026 that map out a spectrum of experiences from value co-creation to value co-destruction of events. The paper makes a theoretical contribution in that it bridges marketing, technology and experience literature, and zooms in on AI as a non-human actor of future experience life ecosystems. A practical guideline for event planners is offered on how to implement AI across each touch point of the events ecosystem.
Adsorption of Cr(VI) ions onto goethite, activated carbon and their composite: kinetic and thermodynamic studies

Published: September 2020

AbstractHexavalent chromium was adsorbed from aqueous solution with three prepared and characterized adsorbents, namely goethite (G), activated carbon (AC) and their composite (GAC). The goethite particle was synthesized using the precipitation methods, and activated carbon was prepared from the stem bark of Daniellia oliveri tree and composite in a ratio of 1:5 goethite–activated carbon. The adsorption capacities of G, AC and GAC for Cr(VI) are 6.627, 5.455 and 6.354 mg/g with 0.02 g adsorbent within contact time of 60, 180 and 30 min for G, AC and GAC, respectively, for Cr(VI) adsorption at optimum pH of 3. The isotherm studied was best explained by Langmuir adsorption isotherm and fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Desorption studies showed that 1.0 M HNO3 was a better desorbing agent than 0.1 M HNO3, 0.1 M HCl and 1.0 M HCl. Chromium was most desorbed (94.60% in Cr//G using 1 M HNO3). The result obtained revealed that goethite and activated carbon produced are favourable adsorbents and the composite of the two adsorbents gives a more favourable, economical and affordable adsorbent for the clean-up of heavy metal contamination.
