OrangeMusic: An orange computing‐inspired recommender framework in internet of music things
Authors: Roy Samarjit , Mukherjee Anwesha , De Debashis 
Published: October 2021

AbstractRecent computational analytics in the domain of the Internet of Things provides crowd‐sourced reviews for decision assistance for innumerable aspects of our living standards and socio‐entertainments. However, one of the most significant tasks for obtainable online music libraries and websites is the demand for personalized and professionalized courses of action for music listeners and composers to elect suitable musical performances. In this paper, we illustrate a hybrid matrix factorization‐based content‐sensitive music recommender schema on the Internet of Music Things. Emerging orange computing technology offers a harmonic fusion framework for psychological care and happiness‐concerned computing. We elucidate the projected music recommender paradigm in the domain of Internet of Music Things, titled as OrangeMusic. The OrangeMusic schema differs from the earlier contributions in the following aspects: (a) Orange computing‐based information fusion framework is applied on the Internet of Music Things; (b) Provided musical content revisions can be exposed by listeners' rating metrics and be exploited to amend original listener‐provided ratings; (c) Music listeners' preferences and musical items are incorporated into the standard matrix factorization mechanism. The performance metrics flourish that our proposed OrangeMusic presents a proficient rating prediction and intensifies the accuracy of content‐sensitive music recommendation expressively.

AbstractAimTo investigate the therapeutic effect of lenvatinib (LEN) in liver disease etiology, especially nonviral hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods and ResultsSixty‐seven patients with unresectable advanced HCC (u‐HCC) treated with LEN and consisting of 26 hepatitis C virus (HCV), 19 hepatitis B virus (HBV), 11 alcohol, and 11 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cases were retrospectively recruited. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine predictive factors for survival. The objective response rate in the nonviral (alcohol and NASH) group was higher than that in the viral group (59.1% [13/22] vs. 46.7% [21/45]). Progression‐free survival was significantly longer in the nonviral group than in the viral group (13.7 vs. 6.6 months; hazard ratio [HR] 0.324; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.174–0.602; P < 0.01). Similarly, median overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in the nonviral group than in the viral group (not evaluable vs. 15.9 months; HR = 0.277; 95% CI = 0.116–0.662; P < 0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed that portal vein invasion (HR = 5.327, P = 0.0025), treatment line (HR = 0.455, P = 0.023), and etiology (HR = 0.180, P = 0.00055) were significant independent factors associated with OS in u‐HCC patients treated with LEN.ConclusionOur results suggest that LEN is more effective against nonviral u‐HCC than against viral u‐HCC.
The giant component after percolation of product graphs
Authors: Lichev Lyuben 
Published: October 2021

AbstractIn this paper we show the existence of a sharp threshold for the appearance of a giant component after percolation of Cartesian products of graphs under assumptions on their maximum degrees and their isoperimetric constants. In particular, this generalises a work of Ajtai, Komlós and Szemerédi from 1982 concerning percolation of the hypercube in high dimension.
The density of microfinance institutions and multiple borrowing in Ghana: Are rural borrowers vulnerable?
Authors: Ewusie Ewura‐Adwoa , Annim Samuel Kobina , Brafu‐Insaidoo William 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis primal study investigates the extent of multiple borrowing in Ghana and explores the relationship between the density of microfinance institutions (MFIs) and multiple borrowing. Further analyses examine the susceptibility of rural borrowers, and the influence of individual MFI categories. The incidence of multiple borrowing in Ghana is 35%. Although an increase in MFI density is less likely to engender multiple borrowing, rural clients have a propensity to overlap and are also sensitive to different institutional features. The study contributes vital empirical evidence of MFI expansion on multiple borrowing and has wider implications for institutional sustainability and clients' economic livelihoods.

Published: October 2021

AbstractIndustrial pollutants are one of the many contributing factors towards deterioration of nature, urging the scientific community around the globe to look for ways in which they can be eliminated. In this regard, we have developed and optimized an efficient photocatalytic system comprising of liquid exfoliated graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and TiO2, by carrying out a thorough study with different morphologies of TiO2; namely, nanotubes, nanorods and nanoparticles. The nanocomposites were duly characterized using various techniques such as FT‐IR, TGA, FESEM, UV‐vis spectroscopy etc. Among the as‐prepared range of nanocomposites, the photocatalyst containing 2 wt% of GQDs and TiO2 nanotubes was found to exhibit a higher degradation efficiency of 96.7 % towards methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation of 120 min. Further, we have also repeated the photocatalytic study of this nanocomposite up to four cycles to understand the reusability of the photocatalyst. Band gap of GQDs, pristine TiO2 and the nanocomposite determined from Tauc plot was found to be 2.26, 2.92 and 2.86 eV respectively. We also underline that the “metal‐free” GQDs, synthesized via our approach, play the role of a photosensitizer by providing an edge of extending the visible light absorption in the case of nanocomposites via enhanced electron‐hole (e–h) separation and lowering of band gap.
Molecular Dynamics and Energy Transfer in Pure Aniline and Rh101+/Aniline Mixed Solution Measured by Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Published: October 2021

AbstractEnergy transfer is an important phenomenon of physicochemical systems vibrationally coupled to an environmental bath. For a condensed system, energy exchange from one mode to another is the first step of chemical reactions. In this work, we use femtosecond time‐ and frequency‐resolved coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy technique to track molecular dynamics and energy transfer in pure aniline and its mixed solutions. In pure aniline, oscillatory structures in time‐ and frequency‐resolved CARS spectra indicate that vibrational modes participate in the vibrational coupling, and the vibrational coupling process is necessary for energy transfer. In the Rh101+/aniline mixed solution, vibrational dynamics and energy transfer processes are not detected due to strong hydrogen interactions. By comparing the experimental results for the pure aniline and the Rh101+/anilinemixed solution, we find that energy transfer in the pure aniline depends mainly on the vibrational coupling; in the Rh101+/aniline mixed solution, hydrogen bonds act as the molecular damper, which leads to a faster decay in the vibrational dynamics.
Blending agile methodologies to support automotive SPICE compliance

Published: October 2021

AbstractCurrently, agile methodologies are widely used as a light‐weight development process model based on short development cycles, which can satisfy frequent change requests from customers and stakeholders, and reach an efficient product delivery. On the other hand, most suppliers in the automotive industry are currently facing a challenge to comply to automotive SPICE (ASPICE) standard, which is a domain‐specific model of ISO/IEC 15504. Moreover, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have increasingly requested ASPICE compliance from their suppliers to accurately assess their process quality capability. This paper analyzes to what extent the ASPICE process areas were covered by agile and aims to propose a model based on integrating agile methodologies, as well as customize some agile practices so that it can fit in the Automotive SPICE process model and support automotive suppliers to achieve the required ASPICE rating. MAN.03, which is the process area for project management, was selected from the process reference model (PRM). Then, each base practice (BP) was mapped to the suitable agile methodology. Moreover, MAN.03 consists of 10 BPs, and each BP rating was measured to be N, P, L, or F. For Level 1, we applied Kanban on BP.4 and Scrum on the remaining BPs. For Level 2, we applied Scrum on all generic practices. We presented our results after deploying Kanban, and a restructured version of Scrum, which makes it in compliance with the automotive industry. The approach taken in this study could be applied in other process areas in the PRM afterwards.
The importance of relationality: A note on co‐determinism, multispecies relationships and implications for COVID‐19
Authors: McIntyre‐Mills Janet Judy 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThe paper aims to highlight the importance of subjective, objective and intersubjective domains when engaging in public education and research on wicked problems such as violence, poverty, climate change, loss of habitat and pandemics. The case is made that critical systemic thinking and practice—underpinned by a meta Design of Inquiring Systems—could help to foster a more relational response to the convergent social, economic and environmental policy challenges that pose ‘existential risks’. This paper explores the implications of ‘mismeasuring our lives’ by not understanding relationality. It reflects on the factors that are linked with the ‘unravelling’ of well‐being, in order to prevent and restore the multispecies relationships that have been forgotten. This requires a bio‐political approach to reframing not only economics but our relationships with one another and with nature. ‘Power and knowledge are linked’ and nowhere is Foucault's linkage more marked than in the biopolitical determination of what species are valued and why. Taxonomies are constructs based on values that need to be carefully considered in terms of the consequences of policy decisions.

Authors: Cajic Samanta , Hennig René , Burock Robert , Rapp Erdmann 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThe in-depth characterization of protein glycosylation has become indispensable in many research fields and in the biopharmaceutical industry. Especially knowledge about modulations in immunoglobulin G (IgG) N-glycosylation and their effect on immunity enabled a better understanding of human diseases and the development of new, more effective drugs for their treatment. This chapter provides a deeper insight into capillary (gel) electrophoresis-based (C(G)E) glycan analysis, addressing its impressive performance and possibilities, its great potential regarding real high-throughput for large cohort studies, as well as its challenges and limitations. We focus on the latest developments with respect to miniaturization and mass spectrometry coupling, as well as data analysis and interpretation. The use of exoglycosidase sequencing in combination with current C(G)E technology is discussed, highlighting possible difficulties and pitfalls. The application section describes the detailed characterization of N-glycosylation, utilizing multiplexed CGE with laser-induced fluorescence detection (xCGE-LIF). Besides a comprehensive overview on antibody glycosylation by comparing species-specific IgGs and human immunoglobulins A, D, E, G, and M, the chapter comprises a comparison of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies from different production cell lines, as well as a detailed characterization of Fab and Fc glycosylation. These examples illustrate the full potential of C(G)E, resolving the smallest differences in sugar composition and structure.
Introduction—Exploring Urban ‘Southernness’: Praxes and Theory(s)
Authors: Mohan Anjali Karol 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis volume stems from the call for a Southern urban theory, one that foregrounds both the specificity and generalizability of the Southern city. Reflecting this standpoint, this chapter validates the volume’s conceptualization of the Global South as a simultaneously homogeneous and heterogeneous geography. The homogeneous South refers to a relational geography of shared colonial histories and postcolonial development narratives, marked by formal institutional practices that seek to control, codify and categorize through a process of drawing boundaries onto empirical space. The heterogeneous South is the empirical space of urban realities that adopt, adapt, reject and transform boundaries ‘drawn onto’ into boundaries ‘drawn by’ and are marked by their temporal, incremental and flexible dynamics. Framing the Southern city as a result of the interaction between the two states—homogeneous and heterogeneous, the chapter discusses the interlinkages within and between the two along dimensions of power, intention and modality. In doing so, it highlights the potential for mutual learning as a conduit to developing a praxis-oriented theory that is capable of simultaneously constructing and deconstructing questions of the Global South.
Structural Means for Fire-Safe Wooden Façade Design
Authors: Engel Thomas , Werther Norman 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis study investigates five fire stop variants used to limit the spread of fire on wooden façades. For this purpose, five fire tests using various types of wooden façade claddings and different fire stops were conducted as full-scale tests and compared to the existing findings. The influences and interactions between the material qualities of the external wall behind the façade cladding, the construction type of the wooden façade cladding, the design of the substructure, the depth of the ventilation gap, and the design of the fire stops were investigated. In evaluating the fire stops, the design of the interior corners, the joint design, and the influence of thermal expansion were examined. Finally, design proposals for the design of fire stops at wooden façades in order to limit the spread of fire were derived based on this evaluation. The outlook presents further needs that need to be investigated in the future in order to clarify undiscussed aspects or points that were ultimately not evaluated within the scope of this study.

On the Correlation of Critical Points and Angular Trispectrum for Random Spherical Harmonics
Authors: Cammarota Valentina , Marinucci Domenico 
Published: October 2021

AbstractWe prove a Central Limit Theorem for the critical points of random spherical harmonics, in the high-energy limit. The result is a consequence of a deeper characterization of the total number of critical points, which are shown to be asymptotically fully correlated with the sample trispectrum, i.e. the integral of the fourth Hermite polynomial evaluated on the eigenfunctions themselves. As a consequence, the total number of critical points and the nodal length are fully correlated for random spherical harmonics, in the high-energy limit.
Exploring connections between teacher interpersonal behaviour, student motivation and competency level in competence-based learning environments
Authors: Misbah Zainun , Gulikers Judith , Widhiarso Wahyu , Mulder Martin 
Published: October 2021

AbstractStudies of connections between teacher behaviour and student outcomes are numerous, but those specifically addressing such connections in a competence-based vocational education setting are limited. For a sample of Indonesian students, this study examined the connection between two dimensions of teacher interpersonal behaviour (proximity and influence) and student competency levels, as well as whether or not these relations are mediated by students’ intrinsic motivation. Additionally, it examined if these relations differed in learning environments with high versus low characteristics of competence-based education (HCBE vs. LCBE). Three questionnaires responded to by 506 first-year students were analysed using multigroups structural equation modelling. Teacher cooperative behaviour affected student motivation positively, and the influence was stronger in LCBE learning environments. Teacher controlling behaviour reduced student-perceived competency levels, with the reduction stronger in HCBE learning environments. Implications of the findings for teaching and learning in vocational education are discussed.
The Codon Usage in the Minimal Natural Cell
Authors: Pawłowski Piotr H. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractA statistical analysis of the variation in contents with the size of the current known smallest genomes, N. deltocephalinicola, C. ruddii, N. equitans, and M. genitalium, enabled the indication of a minimal set of codons capable of naturally building a modern-type free-living unicellular organism in an early stage of evolution. Using a linear regression model, the potential codon distribution in the minimal natural cell was predicted and compared to the composition of the smallest synthetic, JCVI-Syn3.0. The distribution of the molecular weight of potentially coded amino acids was also calculated. The main differences in the features of the minimal natural cell and H. Sapiens genome were analyzed. In this regard, the content percentage of respective amino acids and their polarization charge properties were reported and compared. The fractions of occurring nucleotides were calculated, too. Then, the estimated numbers of codons in a minimal natural cell were related to the expected numbers for random distribution. Shown increase, or decrease in the contents, relative to the calculated random filling was related to the evolutionary preferences, varying with the subsequent eras of the evolution of genetic code.

Authors: Lebin Jacob A. , Mudan Anita , Murphy Charles E. , Wang Ralph C. , Smollin Craig G. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Introduction
Phenobarbital has been successfully used in the emergency department (ED) to manage symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, but few studies have reported outcomes for ED patients who receive phenobarbital and are discharged. We compared return encounter rates in discharged ED patients with alcohol withdrawal who were treated with benzodiazepines and phenobarbital.

Methods
This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single academic medical center utilizing chart review of discharged ED patients with alcohol withdrawal from July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2019. Patients were stratified according to ED management with benzodiazepines, phenobarbital, or a combination of both agents. The primary outcome was return ED encounter within three days of the index ED encounter. Multivariate logistic regression identified significant covariates of an ED return encounter.

Results
Of 470 patients who were discharged with the diagnosis of alcohol withdrawal, 235 were treated with benzodiazepines, 133 with phenobarbital, and 102 with a combination of both. Baseline characteristics were similar among the groups. However, patients who received phenobarbital were provided significantly more lorazepam equivalents compared to patients who received benzodiazepines alone. Treatment with phenobarbital, alone or in combination with benzodiazepines, was associated with significantly lower odds of a return ED visit within three days compared with benzodiazepines alone [AOR 0.45 (95% CI 0.23, 0.88) p = 0.02 and AOR 0.33 (95% CI 0.15, 0.74) p = 0.007].

Conclusions
Patients who received phenobarbital for alcohol withdrawal were less likely to return to the ED within three days of the index encounter. Despite similar baseline characteristics, patients who received phenobarbital, with or without benzodiazepines, were provided greater lorazepam equivalents the ED.
Ultra-portable, smartphone-based spectrometer for heavy metal concentration measurement in drinking water samples
Authors: Srivastava Satyam , Sharma Vinay 
Published: October 2021

AbstractHeavy metals are very toxic and hazardous for human health. Onsite screening of heavy metal contaminated samples along with location-based automation data collection is a tedious job. Traditionally high-end equipment’s such as gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GC–MS) and atomic absorption spectrometers have been used to measure the concentration of different heavy metals in water samples but most of them are costly, bulky, and time consuming, and requires expert human intervention. This manuscript reports an ultra-portable, rapid, cost-effective, and easy-to-use solution for onsite heavy metal concentration measurement in drinking water samples. Presented solution combines off-the-shelf available chemical kits for heavy metal detection and developed spectrometer-based readout for concentration prediction, quality judgment, and automatic data collection. Two chemical kits for copper and iron detection have been imported form Merck and have been used for overall training and testing. The developed spectrometer has capability to work with smartphone-based android app and also can work in standalone mode. The developed spectrometer uses white light-emitting diode as a source and commercially imported spectral sensor (AS7262) for visible radiation reception. A low-power sub-GHZ-based wireless embedded platform has been developed and interfaced with source and detector. A power management module also has been designed to monitor the battery status and also to generate low battery indication. Overall modules has been packaged in custom designed enclosure to avoid external light interference. The developed system has been trained using standard buffer samples with known heavy metal concentrations and further tested for water samples collected from institute colony and nearby villages. The obtained results have been validated with commercially imported system from HANNA instruments, and it has been observed that developed system has shown excellent accuracy to predict heavy metal concentration (tested for Fe and Cu) in water samples.
