Published: December 2021

In connection with a research programme concerning the role of the Normans in the formation of the cultural face of medieval Europe, the Research Centre for Late Antique and Early Medieval Studies of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław began excavations in Scicli based on a scientific cooperation agreement with Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali ed Ambientali di Ragusa with the support of local volunteers. The project concerned the castle, known as Castello dei Tre Cantoni (also Castelluccio), occupying the top of the hill of S. Matteo above the town of Scicli (Fig. 1). The time of construction of both castles and their functioning period remains a subject of inquiry for archaeologists, historians, and architectural historians. The research carried out in 2018 produced the first information, documented by systematic excavations, on the chronology of the fortification on the hill of San Matteo. Thanks to them, it was possible to discover a building workshop dating from the second half of the 14th to the first half of the 15th century and confirm the castle wall’s construction (reconstruction?) at the same time. Both the stratigraphy and the 14C dates were obtained to confirm the castle’s functioning from the 2nd half of the 14th century.
Hic liber in archivio conventus asservandus czyli o archiwum klasztoru św. Marcina karmelitanek bosych w Krakowie (1612-1655)
Authors: Dudała Halina Joanna 
Published: December 2021

Nowożytne archiwa polskich klasztorów żeńskich nie stały się dotychczas przedmiotem pogłębionych studiów, choć dziejom samych wspólnot zakonnych poświęcono już wiele publikacji. Uwagę badaczy przykuwała jednak przede wszystkim historia zakonów i zgromadzeń zakonnych żeńskich, twórczość literacka zakonnic, ich epistolografia, funkcjonowanie książki w środowisku monastycznym czy teatr zakonny. Archiwum pojawiało się we wszystkich tych pracach wyłącznie jako repozytorium dokumentów historycznych, stanowiących źródłową bazę dla podjętych badań, nigdy natomiast jako wyodrębniony obszar działalności nowożytnych żeńskich klasztorów. Artykuł omawia funkcjonowanie w latach 1612–1655 archiwum najstarszego w Polsce klasztoru karmelitanek bosych w Krakowie, założonego przez mniszki przybyłe z Louvain, Mons i Antwerpii. Za pomocą analizy zachowanych archiwaliów wykazano, iż badane archiwum stanowiło obszar twórczej aktywności karmelitańskich mniszek, wyrażającej się m.in. w podejmowaniu decyzji o zachowaniu wybranych materiałów archiwalnych dla kolejnych generacji. Niderlandzkie fundatorki, przenosząc na grunt polski znaną im z autopsji praktykę tworzenia i przechowywania klasztornej dokumentacji, kładły zarazem fundament pod rozwój rodzimej kultury dokumentu, a zarazem też kultury pamięci.
Extrapolating Long-Maturity Bond Yields for Financial Risk Measurement
Authors: Christensen Jens H. E. , Lopez Jose A. , Mussche Paul L. 
Published: December 2021

Insurance companies and pension funds have liabilities far into the future and typically well beyond the longest maturity bonds trading in fixed-income markets. Such long-lived liabilities still need to be discounted, and yield curve extrapolations based on the information in observed yields can be used. We use dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) yield curve models to extrapolate risk-free yield curves for Switzerland and several countries. We find slight biases in extrapolated long bond yields of just a few basis points. In addition, the DNS model allows the generation of useful financial risk metrics, such as ranges of possible yield outcomes over projection horizons commonly used for stress-testing purposes. Therefore, we recommend using DNS models as a simple tool for generating extrapolated yields for long-term interest rate risk management. This paper was accepted by Kay Giesecke, finance.

Published: December 2021

Background
Loss to follow-up (LTFU) among pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients is a significant challenge for TB control. However, there is a dearth of information about the factors leading to LTFU among marginalized communities. This study highlights the factors associated with LTFU in Saharia, a tribe of Madhya Pradesh having high tuberculosis (TB) prevalence.

Methods
A qualitative study was carried out during January-April 2020 among twenty-two pulmonary TB patients, recorded as LTFU in NIKSHAY, with ten treatment supporters and ten patient’s family members. Semi-structured personal interview tools were used to collect the information on the history of anti-tuberculosis treatment, adverse drug events (ADE), social cognitive, behaviors, myths, and misbeliefs. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed to examine underlying themes.

Results
The study explored various social, behavioral factors leading to loss to follow-up among PTB patients. Drug side effects, alcoholism, social stigma, lack of awareness of the seriousness of the diseases and poor counseling are the main barriers to treatment adherence in this community.

Conclusions
The study highlights the need to address the issues related to LTFU during TB treatment. The enhanced efforts of treatment supporters, health staff, and family & community persons must motivate and support the patients.
Alone but not lonely: The relationship between COVID-19 social factors, loneliness, depression, and suicidal ideation
Authors: Rabasco Ana , Corcoran Vincent , Andover Margaret 
Published: December 2021

Objective
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been concerns that social distancing may negatively impact mental health, particularly with regards to loneliness, depressive symptoms, and suicidality. The current study explored how aspects of social distancing, communication, and online support from October 2020 to December 2020 related to loneliness, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation.

Method
Participants (n = 216) who self-identified as having mental health diagnoses were recruited and completed questionnaires online.

Results
Findings showed that COVID-19 related social contact, particularly electronic social contact, is associated with decreased loneliness, suicidal ideation, and depression. Online emotional support was significantly associated with decreased loneliness and depressive symptoms. Social distancing practices were not associated with increased loneliness, suicidal ideation, and depression.

Conclusions
Our findings underscore the importance of leveraging electronic methods of social connection, especially among individuals who are at risk for suicide or depression.
Caribou and reindeer migrations in the changing Arctic

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Caribou and reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, are the most numerous and socio-ecologically important terrestrial species in the Arctic. Their migrations are directly and indirectly affected by the seasonal nature of the northernmost regions, human development and population size; all of which are impacted by climate change. We review the most critical drivers of Rangifer migration and how a rapidly changing Arctic may affect them. In order to conserve large Rangifer populations, they must be allowed free passage along their migratory routes to reach seasonal ranges. We also provide some pragmatic ideas to help conserve Rangifer migrations into the future.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
GNSS signals have been a practical time transfer tool to realise a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and set civilian clocks around the world with respect to this atomic time standard. UTC time scale is maintained by the International Bureau of Weights and Measurements (BIPM) adjusted to be close to a time scale based on the Earth’s rotation. In Thailand, the official atomic time clocks are maintained by the National Institute of Metrology Thailand (NIMT) to produce UTC(NIMT) and Thailand standard time which is always 7 hours ahead of UTC(NIMT) because of the time zone differences between Greenwich and Bangkok. National Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) infrastructure comprises of GNSS geodetic receivers uniformly distributed to continually observe GNSS signals, mainly for geodetic survey applications both real-time and post-processing services. NIMT is involved in order to provide time link to UTC and to determine the characteristics of GNSS receiver internal clocks; namely, fractional frequency offset and frequency stabilities by applying the GNSS time transfer techniques of common-view algorithms. Monitored time differences with respect to UTC(NIMT) are achieved from selected 4 ground stations in different parts of the country with observations of 21 days in order to determine the frequency stability at 1-day and 7-day modes. GNSS standard log files; in RINEX format, at these receivers are transformed into a time transfer standard format; CGGTTS, used to compute the time differences between two stations, the fractional frequency offset and the frequency stability. Averaged fractional frequency offsets are

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Public debates and current research on “digitalization” suggest that digital technologies could profoundly transform the world of work. While broad claims are common in these debates, empirical evidence remains scarce. This calls for reliable data for empirical research and evidence-based policymaking. We implemented a data module in the Socio-Economic Panel to gather information on digitalization in three domains: artificial intelligence (AI), platform work, and digitalized workplace. This paper describes the existing approaches to measure technological exposure, the challenges in operationalization of digital transformation in a household survey, the implemented questionnaire items, and the research potential of this new data.
International Academy of Perinatal Medicine (IAPM) guidelines for screening, prediction, prevention and management of pre-eclampsia to reduce maternal mortality in developing countries
Authors: Stefanovic Vedran 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Approximately 800 women die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications around the world every day, 99% of which occur in developing countries. In majority of cases deaths are related to pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. The purpose of new adjusted and simplified IAPM guidelines is specifically lowering maternal mortality by decreasing preventable deaths in developing countries (particularly in remote rural areas) by using rather cheap medicines used to control chronic and gestational hypertension, prevent pre-eclampsia in high-risk pregnancies and treat severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. IAPM guidelines should be implemented and evaluated in each developing country respecting specific problems, needs and resources. It is of essential importance to: 1. Identify specific high-risk pregnancies, 2. Commence timely appropriate ASA and calcium supplementation, 3. Organize basic antenatal care and adequate referral of pregnancies with early onset of pre-eclampsia to the appropriate institutions and ensure induction of labour in well-equipped delivery facility for women with near-term and term pre-eclampsia 4. Ensure magnesium sulphate availability to prevent severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia-related maternal deaths, and 5. Identify specific barriers for implementation of these guidelines and correct them accordingly. Only by systematic implementations of these guidelines, we may have a chance to decrease the mortality of pre-eclampsia an its complications as a killer number one of mothers in developing countries.

AbstractDurch den zunehmenden Ausbau der regenerativen Energieerzeugung entstehen immer häufiger Netzengpässe, es steht also mehr Strom zur Verfügung als das Netz transportieren kann. Über das sogenannte Einspeisemanagement, werden die Anlagen dann häufig abgeschaltet. Um die Energiewende ökologisch und ökonomisch zu gestalten, ist es jedoch erforderlich, alternative Lösungen zu finden und zu etablieren. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird beschrieben, welche Potenziale sich durch das Aufschmelzen von Aluminium direkt am Windrad, mit anschließendem Flüssigmetalltransport zu Gießereien ergeben können. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Ansatz zur Direktnutzung von Windstrom sowohl eine attraktive Möglichkeit zur Dekarbonisierung der energieintensiven Gießereibranche bietet als auch Kostenvorteile für die Gießereien und dezentralen Schmelzdienstleister erwirken kann.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Die Digitalisierung führt zu vielfältigen Veränderungen in der Logistik. Immer mehr Daten stehen zur Verfügung, die detaillierte Prognosen über Maschinen oder Bedarfe ermöglichen. Mitarbeiterdaten erlauben es Unternehmen, prozessuralen Mehrwert durch die Bewegungs- oder Leistungsanalyse des Arbeitstages zu erreichen. Dies kann aber für die Mitarbeiter nachteilige Konsequenzen haben. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Ansatz vorgestellt, der dem entgegenwirkt, indem die Mitarbeiterpräferenzen in die Personaleinsatzplanung einbezogen werden. In der menschzentrierten, d. h. am Wohlbefinden der Mitarbeiter ausgerichteten, Entwicklung des Systems werden insbesondere ethische Bedenken frühzeitig aufgenommen und berücksichtigt. Fairness, Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit, Autonomie und der Schutz der Privatsphäre der Mitarbeiter sind Leitsätze, die die Gestaltung des Systems bestimmen.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Industrie 4.0 gilt als einer der Trends des letzten Jahrzehnts, stellt bisher jedoch im Wesentlichen eine digitale Innovation dar. Für eine volle Ausschöpfung des Potenzials müssen auch hardwareseitig die Produktionsmaschinen und -systeme der Zukunft grundlegend neu gedacht werden. Das Forschungsvorhaben Wertstromkinematik (kurz: WSK) setzt an dieser Stelle an. Dieses neuartige Produktionskonzept sieht die Gestaltung ganzer Produktionen anhand der Verkettung mehrerer Maschinen einer baugleichen, roboterähnlichen Kinematik vor. Die daraus resultierende Wandlungsfähigkeit ermöglicht eine volle Ausschöpfung des Potenzials von Industrie 4.0. Nachdem im ersten Teil dieses Beitrags der Schwerpunkt auf der Planung und Steuerung der roboterähnlichen Kinematiken lag, steht in dem hier vorliegenden zweiten Teil die Planung ganzer Produktionsanlagen im Fokus.

Authors: Jäkel Frank-Walter , Gering Patrick , Knothe Thomas 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Das Hyperconnected Ecosystems für industrielle Netzwerke wird definiert als die Vernetzung aller relevanten Informationen und deren Erreichbarkeit jederzeit und von überall (hyperconnected). Barrieren zwischen Netzwerkpartnern bzgl. Datenbereitstellung und Zugriff werden reduziert und an aktuelle Anforderungen ausgerichtet. Die Evolution des Netzwerkes wird durch dessen dynamische Anpassbarkeit und flexible Einbindung von Diensten ermöglicht. Schlussendlich soll jede erforderliche Information an jedem Ort sofort in einer bearbeitbaren Form und möglichst ohne Aufwand verfügbar sein. Die Metapher des sozialen Netzwerks, in denen sich Partner finden und nach Bedarf Daten und Leistungen austauschen, dient als Basis für die Strukturen im Netzwerk. Dabei müssen industrielle Anforderungen nach Sicherheit, Souveränität und Transparenz integriert werden. Der Beitrag beschreibt die Vision eines Hyperconnected Ecosystem für industrielle Netzwerke und erste Ansätze zu dessen Umsetzung.

Published: December 2021

Objective
Screening studies have established genetic risk profiles for diseases such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and pheochromocytoma–paraganglioma (PPGL). Founder effects play an important role in the regional/national epidemiology of endocrine cancers, particularly PPGL. Founder effects in the Netherlands have been described for various diseases, some of which established themselves in South Africa due to Dutch emigration. The role of Dutch founder effects in South Africa has not been explored in PPGL.

Design
We performed a single-center study in South Africa of the germline genetic causes of isolated/syndromic neuroendocrine tumors.

Methods
Next-generation panel, Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligand-dependent probe amplification for endocrine neoplasia risk genes.

Results
From a group of 13 patients, we identified 6 with PPGL, 4 with sporadic or familial isolated pituitary adenomas, and 3 with clinical MEN1; genetic variants were identified in 9/13 cases. We identified the Dutch founder exon 3 deletion in SDHB in two apparently unrelated individuals with distinct ethnic backgrounds that had metastatic PPGL. Asymptomatic carriers with this Dutch founder SDHBexon 3 deletion were also identified. Other PPGL patients had variants in SDHB, and SDHD and three MEN1variants were identified among MEN1 and young-onset pituitary adenoma patients.

Conclusions
This is the first identification of a Dutch founder effect for PPGL in South Africa. Awareness of the presence of this exon 3 SDHB deletion could promote targeted screening at a local level. Insights into PPGL genetics in South Africa could be achieved by studying existing patient databases for Dutch founder mutations in SDHx genes.
Adult learning facilitators' professional identity: An exploratory review based on a selection of empirical studies
Authors: Zagir Togtokhmaa , Dorner Helga 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This paper is an exploratory review of selected literature that focused on adult learning facilitators' professional identity. We employed the snow-ball technique for selection and followed the review protocol by Beijaard, Meijer, and Verloop (2004) to explore empirical studies that discussed how professional identity is defined, what constructs encompass professional identity, which methodologies are relevant when studying professional identity and what are adult learning facilitators' common characteristics as professionals. Our review shows that the studies included have a common understanding of professional identity: it is conceived of as a dynamic construct which encompasses job motivation and future vision as well. Narrative interview with biographical perspectives was used as the main research method in all the reviewed studies. This exploratory review offers a set of perspectives which could be considered as entry points into an in-depth (empirical) study of adult learning facilitators' identity formation in various regional and national contexts.

Published: December 2021

This study aims to investigate the mechanical properties of bamboo apus (gigantochloa apus) as a natural reinforced composite material. Bamboo’s laminates of gigantochloa apus were used as reinforcement on the epoxy resin matrix. The parameters examined in this study are the configuration of lamina and compaction pressure. Laminate configuration varies in the number, thickness and direction of the lamina. Compaction pressures of 1.5 MPa, 2 MPa, and 2.5 MPa were used to fabricate the Laminated Bamboo Composites (LBCs). The stem of bamboo with a length of 400 mm was split to obtain bamboo lamina with a size of 400×20 mm. The thickness of bamboo lamina is varied between 1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm. The bamboo lamina is then preserved by watering it with a preservative solution in the form of 2.5 % sodium tetraborate solution and dried in an oven until the water content reaches 10 %. LBCs were made with a hand lay-up method. After the LBCs were molded, they were pressed with 3 variations of dies compaction 1.5 MPa, 2 MPa and 2.5 MPa. The tensile and bending tests were carried out on the LBCs. Tensile testing is performed in accordance with ASTM standard D3039 and the bending tests were conducted based on ASTM standard D7264. The results show that at each compaction pressure, the highest tensile and bending strength was achieved by LBCs with a thickness of 1 mm of bamboo lamina and 7 layers of bamboo laminates. The LBC with thinner bamboo lamina reinforcement and more layers has the highest tensile strength and bending strength, even it has a lower mass fraction. The LBCs with laminates oriented 0° exhibited greater tensile and bending strengths than the LBCs with laminates structured –45°/+45° and 0°/90°. The LBCs with the 0° laminates direction is matrix fracture followed by lamina fracture. In the 0°/90° direction, matrix fracture is followed by delamination in the 90° and 0° laminates direction. Delamination and lamina clefting were observed in LBCs with laminates oriented +45°/–45°.
