Published: December 2020

Abstract. Deep (>1 km depth) scientific boreholes are unique assets
that can be used to address a variety of microbiological, hydrologic, and
biogeochemical hypotheses. Few of these deep boreholes exist in oceanic
crust. One of them, Deep Sea Drilling Project Hole 504B, reaches
∼190 ∘C at its base. We designed, fabricated, and
laboratory-tested the Multi-Temperature Fluid Sampler (MTFS), a non-gas-tight, titanium syringe-style fluid sampler for borehole applications
that is tolerant of such high temperatures. Each of the 12 MTFS units
collects a single 1 L sample at a predetermined temperature, which is
defined by the trigger design and a shape memory alloy (SMA). SMAs have the
innate ability to be deformed and only return to their initial shapes when
their activation temperatures are reached, thereby triggering a sampler at a
predetermined temperature. Three SMA-based trigger mechanisms, which do not
rely on electronics, were tested. Triggers were released at temperatures
spanning from 80 to 181 ∘C. The MTFS was set for
deployment on International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 385T, but
hole conditions precluded its use. The sampler is ready for use in deep
oceanic or continental scientific boreholes with minimal training for
operational success.
Samotherium Major, 1888 (Giraffidae) skullsfrom the late Miocene Maragheh fauna (Iran)and the validity of Alcicephalus Rodler & Weithofer, 1890

Published: December 2020

Samotherium Major, 1888 (Giraffidae) is recorded from several late Miocene localities, primarily in the Balkans, the northern Black Sea region, Anatolia, central Asia and China. The first complete cranial material, with several mandibular rami, and postcranials of Samotherium are described here from the Middle Maragheh sequence in northwest Iran. The Maragheh taxon appears metrically and morphologically similar to the smaller Samotherium taxon from the Samos Island (Greece) referred to as S. boissieri Major, 1888, type species of the genus. These new data trigger further discussion about the Iranian Samotherium record, including Alcicephalus Rodler & Weithofer, 1890, which was recently resurrected as a valid genus in the Maragheh fauna. Our analysis of the material referred to this genus indicates that Samotherium is the most likely attribution for the Maragheh A. neumayri Rodler & Weithofer, 1890. Differences between S. boissieri and S. neumayri are more pronounced in postcranial elements than in cranial and dental ones and need further investigation.
A Philosophy of Madness
Authors: Kusters Wouter 
Published: December 2020

The philosophy of psychosis and the psychosis of philosophy: a philosopher draws on his experience of madness.
In this book, philosopher and linguist Wouter Kusters examines the philosophy of psychosis—and the psychosis of philosophy. By analyzing the experience of psychosis in philosophical terms, Kusters not only emancipates the experience of the psychotic from medical classification, he also emancipates the philosopher from the narrowness of textbooks and academia, allowing philosophers to engage in real-life praxis, philosophy in vivo. Philosophy and madness—Kusters's preferred, non-medicalized term—coexist, one mirroring the other.
Kusters draws on his own experience of madness—two episodes of psychosis, twenty years apart—as well as other first-person narratives of psychosis. Speculating about the maddening effect of certain words and thought, he argues, and demonstrates, that the steady flow of philosophical deliberation may sweep one into a full-blown acute psychotic episode. Indeed, a certain kind of philosophizing may result in confusion, paradoxes, unworldly insights, and circular frozenness reminiscent of madness. Psychosis presents itself to the psychotic as an inescapable truth and reality.
Kusters evokes the mad person's philosophical or existential amazement at reality, thinking, time, and space, drawing on classic autobiographical accounts of psychoses by Antonin Artaud, Daniel Schreber, and others, as well as the work of phenomenological psychiatrists and psychologists and such phenomenologists as Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. He considers the philosophical mystic and the mystical philosopher, tracing the mad undercurrent in the Husserlian philosophy of time; visits the cloud castles of mystical madness, encountering LSD devotees, philosophers, theologians, and nihilists; and, falling to earth, finds anxiety, emptiness, delusions, and hallucinations. Madness and philosophy proceed and converge toward a single vanishing point.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Nigerian Educational System: Strengths and Challenges of Online/Virtual Education
Authors: Agbele Alaba Tolulope , Oyelade Emmanuel Akinbami 
Published: December 2020

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, was declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) on 11th of March, 2020 after it has spread to many countries of the world. It has also caused more than 171 countries of the world to close their educational institutions for several months in the year 2020. The impact of COVID-19 on education is bizarre and unprecedented in history because more than 1.5 billion students from across the globe have been affected by school closure. Most Nigerian students and other African or underdeveloped countries were more disadvantaged because most educational institutions in Nigeria still follow the traditional set-up of face-to-face lectures in the normal classroom settings. This opinion article highlights the importance of online education in a time of global pandemic and natural disaster. It also examines the strengths and challenges of online education.
An efficient, high‐throughput method for the simultaneous exposure of drought stress and bacterial infection in plants
Authors: Choudhary Aanchal , Senthil‐Kumar Muthappa 
Published: December 2020

PremiseWe developed a systematic protocol for the easy, high‐throughput, qualitative, and quantitative assessment of the patho‐morphological, physiological, and molecular responses of Arabidopsis thaliana plants simultaneously subjected to drought and bacterial infection. This approach will assist studies elucidating plant adaptation strategies to combat combined stresses.Methods and ResultsPlants were grown in small screw‐capped containers, individual pots, or pot strips. Watering was withheld from 30‐day‐old plants, which were subsequently infected with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 using a dip inoculation. The natural development of both drought and bacterial infection was successfully and rapidly replicated in large numbers of plants, which is difficult to achieve with existing protocols.ConclusionsOur protocol offers a simple, low‐cost, high‐throughput strategy for the rapid and easy bacterial infection of large numbers of plants. It can be used in large‐scale mutant and ecotype screenings under combined stresses and for other foliar pathogens in different plant species.

BackgroundMany young women with newly diagnosed breast cancer are interested in future pregnancies. Prospective data regarding fertility interest and reproductive patterns after diagnosis are needed to counsel patients.MethodsThe Young Women's Breast Cancer Study is a multicenter, prospective cohort of women who were diagnosed with breast cancer at age ≤40 years between 2006 and 2016. Women complete surveys at baseline, every 6 months for 3 years, then annually. Here, the authors describe fertility interest and pregnancies within 5 years of diagnosis for women with stage 0 through III breast cancer.ResultsOf 1026 eligible participants, 368 (36%) reported interest in future biologic children at least once within 5 years after diagnosis, including 16% at 5 years after diagnosis. Among 130 women who attempted to become pregnant, 90 (69.2%) conceived; and, among 896 women who did not attempt to conceive, 18 (2.0%) became pregnant, with a total of 152 pregnancies resulting in 91 live births. Factors associated with pregnancy included younger versus older age at diagnosis (aged ≤30 vs 36‐40 years: odds ratio [OR], 6.63; 95% CI, 3.18‐13.83; P < .0001; aged 31‐35 vs 36‐40 years: OR, 5.86; 95% CI, 3.37‐10.17; P < .0001) and being nulliparous versus parous (OR, 2.66; 95% CI, 1.56‐4.53; P = .001). The receipt of endocrine therapy versus no endocrine therapy (OR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.20‐0.59; P = .001) was inversely associated with pregnancy.ConclusionsMany women remain interested in future fertility in the 4 years after a breast cancer diagnosis, indicating that longitudinal fertility discussions are needed. Although a minority of those interested in having children attempted to become pregnant in the first 5 years, most who attempted to conceive did so and had live births.
K‐ear: Extracting data access periodic characteristics for energy‐aware data clustering and storing in cloud storage systems

Published: December 2020

AbstractRapid increase in energy consumption is a serious problem in cloud storage systems. Data accessed in large‐scale storage systems usually exhibit temporal and spatial characteristics, which make it possible to reduce energy consumption by clustering data with similar access characteristics for storage in the same zone of cloud storage systems. Existing works usually only focus on the frequency of data access. However, widely existing phenomena show data access with seasonal and tidal characteristics in cloud storage systems. The seasonal and tidal characteristics of data access are extracted thoroughly in this paper. According to the extracted data access characteristics, energy‐aware data clustering through a machine learning algorithm (K‐ear) is proposed. K‐ear classifies data into five seasonal categories according to their seasonal access characteristics and then classifies every seasonal category into three tidal categories according to its tidal access characteristics. The 15 classified categories are stored in different storage zones with different energy and performance modes. Simulation experiments using CloudSimDisk with the constructed mathematic models demonstrate that the proposed K‐ear algorithm is more energy‐efficient than the default data clustering algorithms in Hadoop and the classical data clustering storage strategy according to the data access frequency (Striping‐Based Energy‐Aware Strategy).

Published: December 2020

AbstractThere is growing scientific debate on the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Corporate Hypocrisy (CH) on Corporate Reputation (CR). The aim of the study is to analyse the influence of CSR on CR based on literature review and results of conducted empirical studies and to test this relationship in growing budget airlines sector. Environmental responsibility of airlines was highlighted in this study. The empirical study conducted in Lithuania employed quantitative survey. And 400 adults were surveyed. The results indicated that CSR and CR in the budget airline sector are important for the Lithuanian customers. However, the study did not find the link between agreeing to pay a higher price for flight operated by socially responsible companies and the importance of airlines' CR in making a purchase decision. There was also no link found between the more frequent choice of flights operated by airlines conducting CSR activities and the importance of the airlines' CR in the purchasing decision. The relationship between airlines ‘past actions that determine their CR and the predictability of airlines' future actions were also found to be weak.
Woodsmith project – Construction of a 37 km long mineral transport system for the world's largest Polyhalite resource
Authors: Gschnitzer Ernst , Wenger Julian , Raine Andy 
Published: December 2020

AbstractRapidly increasing and urbanized world populations require the use of fertiliser for more efficient food production. Polyhalite provides this by sustainable and low carbon means. The world's largest known high‐grade Polyhalite deposit is located under the North York Moors National Park in the north‐east of England at a depth of about 1,550 m. In order to protect the national park, the mineral is processed outside the park on the coast near Wilton, Teesside. The mineral is transported there on a conveyor belt running in a 37 km long tunnel between the Woodsmith mine and the portal in Wilton. Strabag was awarded with the design and construction of the 37 km long tunnel, including the mineral transport system. The total contract value amounts to several hundred million Euros with a 100 % share for Strabag. The biggest challenges for this very long tunnel drive are especially the logistics. High safety standards and a tight time schedule, funding issues and contractual changes have resulted in additional challenges. Close cooperation with the Client's team on site has been key for achieving best results for the project.
Design of a NATM crossover at Mumbai metro line 3

Published: December 2020

AbstractThe construction of underground structures in metro rail projects is always challenging as the project works normally affect a large number of adjacent surface structures with stringent settlement criteria and protection requirements. Project implementation becomes even more complex when the overburden is shallow and the area of the cross‐section is comparatively large. In the case of design and build metro rail projects, the Client provides a tender stage design to the Contractor's designer; this initial design is often based on limited data and does not consider the construction phase in detail. This is a significant challenge for the Contractor's designer as the new design has to consider all relevant parties and boundary conditions with respect to the compatibility of other parts of the project. This paper describes such a challenge at Mumbai metro line 3, where a crossover structure had to be implemented during the detailed design as a change of scope. The initially proposed crossover cavern was re‐arranged during the detailed design. The main emphasis of this paper is to explain the revised crossover arrangement, for optimized construction feasibility, construction staging and geotechnical stability of the excavation. After the options presented by the Contractor's designer met the original objectives, the detailed design of the primary support and modified construction sequence was carried out in accordance with the principles of NATM design.
The Shazar caverns – Design challenges and construction experience
Authors: Schürch Roberto , Perazzelli Paolo , Moranda Giuseppe , Spivak Eldad 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe Shazar caverns (width 19 m, height of 29 m, length 270 m) are part of the first phase of a larger project called the “Jerusalem Gateway”. They will accommodate a road in the upper level and five parking floors in the lower levels. The geology in the project area is characterized by dolomite and dolomitic limestone, overtopped by decayed rock including significant clay masses and artificial filling. Overall, the rock mass is weathered due to strong karst activity. The peculiarities of the project are the small overburden (7 to 10 m) under poor ground conditions, the close vicinity between the caverns and existing/future buildings (2 to 5 m), the vicinity between the two caverns (3 to 5 m), the intense earthquake activity in the area and the presence of large karstic cavities. The resulting challenges require unique engineering solutions. This paper gives an overview on the project, it presents the adopted design approach and the elaborated design solutions and, finally, it shows the construction experience.
A mental health course for developmental allied healthcare professionals: An exploration of potential effectiveness
Authors: Zohar Orna , Sher‐Censor Efrat , Elata Judith 
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACTWe examined the effectiveness of a mental health course for developmental allied healthcare professionals (DAHPs) that focused on emotional and relational processes inherent to treatment. We hypothesized that (a) following the course, DAHPs would report increased awareness and sense of competence in dealing with these processes; (b) an increased sense of competence would be associated with decreased burnout; (c) following the course, DAHPs would increase their reading and participation in seminars about emotional processes in therapy; and (d) DAHPs would report the course had positive effects on their work and that they use a more relationship‐based treatment approach. Participants were 153 Israeli DAHPs. They reported their attitudes and sense of competence in coping with emotional and relational processes in treatment in three time points: before, upon completion, and at follow‐up. At follow‐up, participants also reported level of burnout and the extent they made changes in their work. They provided examples of these changes, which were qualitatively analyzed. Study hypotheses were supported. Results suggest participating in a relatively brief mental health course is associated with positive changes in DAHPs’ attitudes, sense of competence, and professional approach toward a relationship‐based treatment.

AbstractBackground/PurposeWe investigated the incidence, risk factors, clinical characteristics and outcomes of acute pancreatitis (AP) in patients with COVID‐19 attending the emergency department (ED), before hospitalization.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed all COVID patients diagnosed with AP in 62 Spanish EDs (20% of Spanish EDs, COVID‐AP) during the COVID outbreak. We formed two control groups: COVID patients without AP (COVID‐non‐AP) and non‐COVID patients with AP (non‐COVID‐AP). Unadjusted comparisons between cases and controls were performed regarding 59 baseline and clinical characteristics and four outcomes.ResultsWe identified 54 AP in 74 814 patients with COVID‐19 attending the ED (frequency = 0.72‰, 95% CI = 0.54‐0.94‰). This frequency was lower than in non‐COVID patients (2231/1 388 879, 1.61‰, 95% CI = 1.54‐1.67; OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.34‐0.58). Etiology of AP was similar in both groups, being biliary origin in about 50%. Twenty‐six clinical characteristics of COVID patients were associated with a higher risk of developing AP: abdominal pain (OR = 59.4, 95% CI = 23.7‐149), raised blood amylase (OR = 31.8; 95% CI = 1.60‐632) and vomiting (OR = 15.8, 95% CI = 6.69‐37.2) being the strongest, and some inflammatory markers (C‐reactive protein, procalcitonin, platelets, D‐dimer) were more increased. Compared to non‐COVID‐AP, COVID‐AP patients differed in 23 variables; the strongest ones related to COVID symptoms, but less abdominal pain was reported, pancreatic enzymes raise was lower, and severity (estimated by BISAP and SOFA score at ED arrival) was higher. The in‐hospital mortality (adjusted for age and sex) of COVID‐AP did not differ from COVID‐non‐AP (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.45‐245) but was higher than non‐COVID‐AP (OR = 2.46, 95% CI = 1.35‐4.48).ConclusionsAcute pancreatitis as presenting form of COVID‐19 in the ED is unusual (<1‰ cases). Some clinically distinctive characteristics are present compared to the remaining COVID patients and can help to identify this unusual manifestation. In‐hospital mortality of COVID‐AP does not differ from COVID‐non‐AP but is higher than non‐COVID‐AP, and the higher severity of AP in COVID patients could partially contribute to this increment.
Feller semigroups and degenerate elliptic operators III
Authors: Taira Kazuaki 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis paper is devoted to the functional analytic approach to the problem of construction of Feller semigroups in the characteristic case via the Fichera function. Probabilistically, our result may be stated as follows: We construct a Feller semigroup corresponding to such a diffusion phenomenon that a Markovian particle moves continuously in the interior of the state space, without reaching the boundary. We make use of the Hille–Yosida–Ray theorem that is a Feller semigroup version of the classical Hille–Yosida theorem in terms of the positive maximum principle. Our proof is based on a method of elliptic regularizations essentially due to Oleĭnik and Radkevič. The weak convergence of approximate solutions follows from the local sequential weak compactness of Hilbert spaces and Mazur's theorem in normed linear spaces.
