Treating intimate partner violence with metacognitive interpersonal therapy: The case of Aaron
Authors: Misso Dave , Velotti Patrizia , Pasetto Andrea , Dimaggio Giancarlo 
Published: December 2021

AbstractIntimate partner violence (IPV) is responsible for loss of lives and significant psychological, financial, and social costs. Research into therapeutic effectiveness show inconsistent results irrespective of therapeutic orientation. The capacity to understand one's own mental states as subjective and distinct from others is an important factor in the regulation of mental states and physiological arousal associated with the perpetration of IPV. Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT) offers an innovative approach in working with male perpetrators of IPV. The current paper outlines 14 sessions of MIT with a 45‐year‐old male perpetrator. A core aspect was helping the client resolve how his view of self and others were subjective experiences that were distinct from relational objectivity. The emergence of healthy self‐narratives was fostered through experiential processes, involving guided imagery, rescripting and body focused interventions. Qualitative outcomes are summarized and implications for the use of MIT in treatment of perpetrators of IPV is discussed.
Prostaglandin signaling in ciliogenesis and development
Authors: Jin Daqing , Zhong Tao P. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractProstaglandin (PG) signaling regulates a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes, including body temperature, cardiovascular homeostasis, reproduction, and inflammation. Recent studies have revealed that PGs play pivotal roles in embryo development, ciliogenesis, and organ formation. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and its receptor EP4 modulate ciliogenesis by increasing the anterograde intraflagellar transport. Many G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) including EP4 are localized in cilia for modulating cAMP signaling under various conditions. During development, PGE2 signaling regulates embryogenesis, hepatocyte differentiation, hematopoiesis, and kidney formation. Prostaglandins are also essential for skeletal muscle repair. This review outlines recent advances in understanding the functions and mechanisms of prostaglandin signaling in ciliogenesis, embryo development, and organ formation.
A new methodology for the statistical descriptions of Particle‐by‐Particle measurements of liquid droplets in cumulus clouds
Authors: Bera Sudarsan , Chowdhuri Subharthi , Prabha Thara V. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractStatistical and microphysical properties of liquid cloud droplets (with diameter 2–50 μm) in the growing stage of cumulus clouds are illustrated by in situ Particle‐by‐Particle (PbP) measurements. A contrasting statistical behaviour for the cloud core, following Poisson statistics with an indication of random spatial distribution, and the cloud edge which unveils non‐Poisson statistics, tells of a heterogeneous spatial distribution. A new metric from the joint probability distribution function of droplet inter‐arrival distance and droplet size is proposed for quantifying the dynamics–microphysics interaction in cumulus clouds. We found that the interaction is stronger for the cloud edge compared to the undiluted core region. The scale dependency of mixing is studied using PbP data, and reveals a sharp change at length‐scales below a critical value of around 40–60 cm, above which microphysical change of mixing is almost constant. This critical length‐scale separates the mixing regimes between the homogeneous and inhomogeneous processes. Observation of such a critical length‐scale of mixing from in situ measurements (at sub‐metre scale) is the key finding of this study.

Published: December 2021

AbstractMost of the current non‐pharmacological treatment strategies for atherosclerosis (AS) suffer from poor penetration into the plaque and only aim at a certain factor in its formation process, resulting in limited therapeutic effect. Herein, a kind of nanomotor with dual‐mode propulsion is constructed, which is sensitive to higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the AS site and near‐infrared (NIR) laser by the covalent binding and self‐assembly of β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) and L‐arginine (LA) with immobilization of Au nanoparticles. NIR laser irradiation can be used as a driving force and to ablate inflammatory macrophages through the photothermal effect. The nitric oxide (NO) released by the nanomotors can be used as another driving force and a therapeutic agent to promote endothelial repair in the plaque site. LA can eliminate ROS in the inflammatory site, and β‐CD can promote the removal of cholesterol from foam cells. In particular, the two driving modes of nanomotors synergistically promote their aggregation and penetration in the plaque. This kind of nanomotor can regulate the microenvironment of AS in multiple ways, including combination therapy for endothelial repair, lipid clearance, and reducing ROS, which is expected to become a potential non‐pharmacological strategy in the treatment of AS.
Efficiency of prestressed concrete joist reinforced by CFRP: Experimentation and analytical verification
Authors: Michel Laurent , Ferrier Emmanuel 
Published: December 2021

AbstractIn this paper, the bending behavior of prestressed concrete joists strengthened by fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates is described. An experimental investigation on 18 large‐scale beams is conducted, allowing determination of the strengthening influence of FRP in the general behavior of prestressed joists. The mechanical parameters considered in the study are the ultimate and elastics loads and the deflection or initial stiffness of joists. The analytical verification is done to calculate the design load values of the floor system. The results indicate that the application of FRP laminates significantly increases the response of prestressed concrete joists.
Testing Accuracy and Agreement among Multiple Versions of Automated Bat Call Classification Software
Authors: Goodwin Katy R. , Gillam Erin H. 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACTPassive acoustic monitoring is a common method of studying bats that involves recording echolocation calls of bats in their natural environment. Call sequences are then identified to species using automated acoustic analysis software. One limitation of acoustic software programs, particularly for long‐term monitoring efforts, is that newer versions may provide results that are not directly comparable with older versions. However, there is little available information regarding how much or in what ways the versions differ, or which versions are most accurate. We evaluated 2 software programs used for automated bat call identification by testing a common set of echolocation call files across multiple versions of each program. We quantified the level of agreement on identification results and compared accuracy rates among the versions of each program. Level of agreement varied by species, recording location, and the software versions being compared. Overall percent agreement ranged from 28–82%. Newer versions were more conservative, in that they assigned fewer species‐level identifications. However, newer versions were not substantially more accurate than older versions. Our conclusions suggest that bat researchers should be attentive to what software versions and settings are used as they plan and perform data analyses. Software developers could assist software users by providing more detailed information about their testing procedures and results, and what changes are associated with new versions. © 2021 The Wildlife Society.

Published: December 2021

AbstractRhodolith distribution, morphology, and cryptofauna have been minimally studied on fringing reefs. We present the first study to examine both rhodolith distribution and associated cryptofauna in a tropical fringing reef, located along the microtidal, wave-dominated north shore of Moorea, French Polynesia. We find higher abundances of larger, rounder, and more branching rhodoliths in locations where longer waves impact the fringing reef. Among 1879 animals extracted and identified from 145 rhodoliths, ophiuroids, polychaetes, decapod crustaceans, and gastropods are most abundant, with a wide range of additional taxa contributing to diversity. Large and branching rhodoliths contain the greatest number and diversity of cryptofaunal organisms and are the preferred habitat of rigid-bodied, non-burrowing forms. Overall, exposure to waves entering the lagoon through passes appears to be a critical determinant of rhodolith abundance, morphotype, and in turn cryptofaunal composition in fringing reef habitats.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Introduction
Previous research has found a negative effect of dementia on the health-related quality of life (HrQoL) of persons with dementia (PWD) and their primary informal caregivers. However, the impact of dementia on HrQoL of other individuals sharing a household with PWD has not been investigated to date. The current study therefore aimed to determine differences in the HrQoL between those sharing a household with PWD and those not living with PWD. In addition, factors related to the HrQoL of those sharing a household with PWD were evaluated.

Methods
The analyses were based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, using the SF-12 to measure HrQoL. Mixed-effects models were calculated to compare the HrQoL of those sharing a household with PWD and persons not living with PWD, as well as to determine factors related to the HrQoL of those sharing a household with PWD. Bootstrapping was used where residuals were not normally distributed.

Results
Mixed-effect models showed a significantly lower HrQoL among those sharing a household with PWD, compared to those not living with PWD. Number of diseases, number of persons in the household, marital status and educational level were significantly related to HrQoL among those sharing a household with PWD.

Discussion
The HrQoL of those sharing a household with PWD was reduced compared to persons not living with PWD. Further, those living with PWD in small households, or those with multi-morbidities had a lower HrQoL. Further research focusing on HrQoL in the social environment of PWD is needed.

Published: December 2021

AbstractWax deposition in production pipelines and transportation tubing from offshore to onshore is critical in the petroleum industry due to low-temperature conditions. The most significant popular approach to solve this issue is by inserting a wax inhibitor into the channel. This research aims to reduce the amount of wax formation of Malaysian crude oil by estimating the effective parameters using Design-Expert by full factorial design (FFD) method. Five parameters have been investigated, which are rotation speed (A), cold finger temperature (B), duration of experimental (C), the concentration of poly (stearyl acrylate-co-behenyl acrylate) (SABA) (D), and concentration of nano-silica SiO2 (E). The optimum conditions for reducing the amount of wax deposit have been identified using FFD at 300 rpm, 10 ℃, 1 h, 1200 ppm and 400 ppm, respectively. The amount of wax deposit estimated is 0.12 g. The regression model’s variance results revealed that the R2 value of 0.9876, showing 98.76% of the data variation, can be described by the model. The lack of fit is not important in comparison to the pure error, which is good. The lack of fit F value of 12.85 means that there is only a 7.41% probability that this huge can occur because of noise. The influence of cold finger temperature was reported as the main contributing factor in the formation of wax deposits compared to other factors. In addition, the interaction between factor B and factor C revealed the highest interaction effect on the wax deposition. In conclusion, the best interaction variables for wax inhibition can be determined using FFD. It is a valued tool to measure and detect the unique relations of two or more variables. As a result, the findings of this study can be used to develop a reliable model for predicting optimum conditions for reducing wax deposits and the associated costs and processing time.
Shimura subvarieties in the Prym locus of ramified Galois coverings
Authors: Grosselli Gian Paolo , Mohajer Abolfazl 
Published: December 2021

AbstractWe study Shimura (special) subvarieties in the moduli space$$A_{p,D}$$Ap,Dof complex abelian varieties of dimensionpand polarization typeD. These subvarieties arise from families of covers compatible with a fixed group action on the base curve such that the quotient of the base curve by the group is isomorphic to$${{\mathbb {P}}}^1$$P1. We give a criterion for the image of these families under the Prym map to be a special subvariety and, using computer algebra, obtain 210 Shimura subvarieties contained in the Prym locus.
A metaheuristic-based framework for index tracking with practical constraints
Authors: Yuen Man-Chung , Ng Sin-Chun , Leung Man-Fai , Che Hangjun 
Published: December 2021

AbstractRecently, numerous investors have shifted from active strategies to passive strategies because the passive strategy approach affords stable returns over the long term. Index tracking is a popular passive strategy. Over the preceding year, most researchers handled this problem via a two-step procedure. However, such a method is a suboptimal global-local optimization technique that frequently results in uncertainty and poor performance. This paper introduces a framework to address the comprehensive index tracking problem (IPT) with a joint approach based on metaheuristics. The purpose of this approach is to globally optimize this problem, where optimization is measured by the tracking error and excess return. Sparsity, weights, assets under management, transaction fees, the full share restriction, and investment risk diversification are considered in this problem. However, these restrictions increase the complexity of the problem and make it a nondeterministic polynomial-time-hard problem. Metaheuristics compose the principal process of the proposed framework, as they balance a desirable tradeoff between the computational resource utilization and the quality of the obtained solution. This framework enables the constructed model to fit future data and facilitates the application of various metaheuristics. Competitive results are achieved by the proposed metaheuristic-based framework in the presented simulation.
Integrity triad as doubled edged sword for head-teachers’ integrity: a case from Nepal
Authors: Khadka Bhanu Bhakta , Bhattarai Prakash C 
Published: December 2021

AbstractHeadteachers in the community schools are responsible for academic and administrative activities. They are considered role models for integrity practices. However, the situation is different on some occasions. For instance, political interest plays more important roles than qualifications, training, work experience, etc., in school affairs. In this context, a qualitative study was carried out in the purposefully selected two schools – an urban and a rural – to explore the elements that influence school integrity practices. Data collected from the schools were analyzed and interpreted. The findings show that nepotism, unhealthy party politics, and impunity (integrity triad) influence the school integrity practices in Nepal.

Published: December 2021

AbstractTwitter data exhibits several dimensions worth exploring: a network dimension in the form of links between the users, textual content of the tweets posted, and a temporal dimension as the time-stamped sequence of tweets and their retweets. In the paper, we combine analyses along all three dimensions: temporal evolution of retweet networks and communities, contents in terms of hate speech, and discussion topics. We apply the methods to a comprehensive set of all Slovenian tweets collected in the years 2018–2020. We find that politics and ideology are the prevailing topics despite the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. These two topics also attract the highest proportion of unacceptable tweets. Through time, the membership of retweet communities changes, but their topic distribution remains remarkably stable. Some retweet communities are strongly linked by external retweet influence and form super-communities. The super-community membership closely corresponds to the topic distribution: communities from the same super-community are very similar by the topic distribution, and communities from different super-communities are quite different in terms of discussion topics. However, we also find that even communities from the same super-community differ considerably in the proportion of unacceptable tweets they post.

AbstractMapping and quantifying the status of Land use/Land cover (LULC) changes and drivers of change are important for identifying vulnerable areas for change and designing sustainable ecosystem services. This study analyzed the status of LULC changes and key drivers of change for the last 30 years through a combination of remote sensing and GIS with the surveying of the local community understanding of LULC patterns and drivers in the Gubalafto district, Northeastern Ethiopia. Five major LULC types (cultivated and settlement, forest cover, grazing land, bush land and bare land) from Landsat images of 1986, 2000, and 2016 were mapped. The results demonstrated that cultivated and settlement constituted the most extensive type of LULC in the study area and increased by 9% extent. It also revealed that a substantial expansion of bush land and bare land areas during the past 30 years. On the other hand, LULC classes that has high environmental importance such as grazing land and forest cover have reduced drastically through time with expanding cultivated and settlement during the same period. The grazing land in 1986 was about 11.1% of the total study area, and it had decreased to 5.7% in 2016. In contrast, cultivated and settlement increased from 45.6% in 1986 to 49.5% in 2016. Bush land increased from 14.8 to 21% in the same period, while forest cover declined from 8.9 to 2% in the same period. The root causes for LULC changes in this particular area include population growth, land tenure insecurity, and common property rights, persistent poverty, climate change, and lack of public awareness. Therefore, the causes for LULC changes have to be controlled, and sustainable resources use is essential; else, these scarce natural resource bases will soon be lost and will no longer be able to play their contribution in sustainable ecosystem services.Article HighlightsForest cover and grazing lands declined rapidly.Fluctuating trends in cultivated and settlement, bush land and bare land.Population pressure and associated demand are the main causes behind LULC changes in the study area.
