Flexible working for all? How collective constructions by Austrian employers and employees perpetuate gendered inequalities
Authors: Schmidt Eva-Maria 
Published: November 2021

Objective: This paper pursues the question as to how extended flexible working possibilities in the labor market are legitimized among employers and employees and whether they have potential to mitigate inequalities.
Background: Persistent and increasing gendered inequalities in Austria are reflected in the unequal division of unpaid family work in parental couples and in men’s stable full-time employment while women increasingly work part-time. In recent years, employers have expanded flexible working possibilities for all employees, regardless of their gender, also in leading positions and especially for those with family responsibilities.
Method: We conducted six focus groups and 16 semi-structured interviews with employers (n=30) and employees (n=25) from 29 contrasting companies across Austria. An in-depth reconstructive analysis facilitated our exploration of collective notions and concepts associated with flexible work and career opportunities.
Results: The respondents constructed part-time and flexible work as a new norm strongly connected to women with (potential) children. At the same time, employers and employees legitimized that these women must be protected from penalties resulting from the ideal worker norm still in force and must be variously supported by employers. However, men – the partners of women they could support by making use of these options and taking over childcare – are not constructed as a target group.
Conclusion: In a cultural context such as Austria, family-friendly flexible working opportunities perpetuate rather than level gendered inequalities, as men’s need for those opportunities do not emerge in the constructions. The lack thereof is neither explicitly addressed nor challenged.

Critical music has the ability to describe the socio-political reality that occur in the country. Musicians describe their concerns and ideas through lyrics found in critical music. So, musicians take advantage of the function of music as mass communication. Through critical music, the delivery of socio-political phenomena can be intertwined in a more informal and relaxed manner. Especially for the younger generation who are very close to the development of music, where Indonesia is in a demographic bonus phase. In this study, researcher attempted to explain the dynamics of critical music in Indonesia's political ecosystem and how it affects the critical awareness of the younger generation. Jason Ranti describes his anxiety through the lyrics that are eccentric but rich in meaning, relaxed but not purposeless, and critical without being patronizing. Jason Ranti's critical music can build the interest of the younger generation to be more critical of the ongoing socio-political phenomena. This study uses documentation as the main data which is supported by interviews. The result of this research is that Jason Ranti has contributed in spreading critical insights to the younger generation. By understanding the meaning of eccentric musicalization through critical hermeneutic theory, Jason Ranti describes the current social phenomenon and tries to provide alternative responses for his listeners. The younger generation becomes more caring, empathetic and interested about the socio-political phenomena that are happening. Through Jason Ranti's critical music, the younger generation can take responsive actions in responding to the socio-political phenomena that are currently happening.

Published: November 2021

The artisanal fishing is an important activity in Billings Reservoir (São Paulo, Brazil) and there is a paucity of biometric data about the fish in this region. Thereby, it is important to provide data about ichthyofauna that can be used for future management actions. The aim of this study was to present some data about the water quality and biometric data on fish species collected at the Bororé site (Billings Reservoir). In general, the obtained hydrochemical data raised a concern about the water quality because some parameters were above the established limit for body water class 2. A total of 170 fish were captured, corresponding to seven species and one genus. Geophagus brasiliensis was the most representative species (36%), followed by Astyanax bimaculatus (25%) and A. eigenmanniorum (20%). The hepatosomatic index (HSI) data showed differences in energy displacement between the species; the highest HSI values were observed in Hoplias malabaricus (HSImale = 1.33 Â± 0.20; HSIfemale = 1.17 Â± 0.82) while the smallest HSI was observed in A. fasciatus (HSImale = 0.47 Â± 0.14; HSIfemale = 0.68 Â± 0.35).

This study evaluated the protein requirement of Litopenaeus vannamei post-larvae during the initial rearing phase in a biofloc system. Five different diets were evaluated with increasing concentrations of crude protein: 31.28, 36.29, 41.57, 46.34, and 51.74 g 100 g-1 CP. Post-larvae (0.16 Â± 0.01 g) were stocked at a density of 450 PL m-3 in 400 L tanks. Water quality parameters were maintained within the limits recommended for shrimp farming. After 38 days, a regression analysis revealed that levels of CP content (65.29 í 72.83%), EE (10.45 í 11.65%) and body N (10.45 í 11.64%) increased with increasing protein levels in the diet. A similar trend was observed in the biofloc sludge with respect to CP and N. Survival exceeded 80%, and the shrimp with diets containing 31.28 to 46.34g 100 g-1 CP presented an increase in final weight (1.52 í 2.61 g), productivity (0.69 í 1.10 Kg m-3), weight gain (1.38 í 2.44 g), and feeding efficiency (77.28 í 101.68%), whereas these indices decreased to51.74 g 100 g-1 CP. Crude protein content from 44.26 to 47.12 g 100 g-1 provided the best growth performance during the initial rearing phase of Pacific white shrimp in a biofloc system.

Published: November 2021

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the impact of financial derivatives use on bank risk. For this purpose, the banks operating in D-8 countries, are investigated.
Design/Methodology: While the relationship between the bank risk and derivative utilize is examined, some of the bank-specific control variables are added to the model. Due to the sample structure and endogeneity problem in the study, hypotheses were tested again by using Generalized Moments Method.
Findings: The analysis results showed a statistically significant and negative relationship between financial derivative use and bank risk and using financial derivatives is reduced the bank's risk.
Limitations: From D-8 countries, Iran and Bangladesh were excluded from the study because of the inaccessibility of the data related to the financial derivatives.
Originality/Value: While the relationship between "Banking Risk and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments" in the literature is mainly tested in developed countries, there is a gap in the literature on how this relationship is in developing countries. This study aims to contribute to the literature by revealing the relationship between the use of financial derivatives and bank risk in D-8 countries, which are classified as developing countries.
Research on Structural Evolution and Microseismic Response Characteristics of Overlying Strata during Repeated Mining of Steeply Inclined and Extra Thick Coal Seams

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Repeated mining is the main factor that leads to development, propagation, and eventual deformation of the overlying strata fissures in the steeply inclined and extra thick coal seams (SIETCS). The evolution of the overlying strata structure is closely related to microseismic events in a mine. As the mining depth increases, the evolution rules of the overlying strata structure become more complicated and can easily induce dynamic disaster accidents. To solve these problems, this paper established a physical similarity simulation model. Microseismic monitoring equipment was used to study the relationship between the evolution of the overlying strata structure and the energy-frequency of microseismic events. On the basis of the principle of quantitative seismology, the response relationship between the overlying strata structure and the microseisms at different mining stages was compared and analyzed from a quantitative perspective. The characteristics of cumulative apparent volume, energy index, and microseismic b value were used to reveal the precursor characteristics of overburden instability and failure. The results showed that due to the occurrence characteristics of coal seam, the distribution characteristics of rock stratum stress, and the effects of mining disturbances, the energy accumulation-release period after instability failure of the overlying strata induced by shallow mining was longer than the energy accumulation-release period induced by deep mining. And the deep coal and rock mass had a periodic “balance-instability-rebalance-instability again” dynamic evolution process under the disturbance of repeated mining. In the working face mining, the slope of the accumulative apparent volume ΣVA curve suddenly increased, and the energy index EI gradually decreased at the late peak period, which indicated the deformation and failure of overburden. However, the b value of the microseismic event presented the precursory characteristics of rock stratum fracture that gradually increased and then changed drastically.

Summary
Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is a form of drilling that allows greater and more precise wellbore pressure control than conventional drilling. In addition, the mud weight used will be lower than for the conventional mud weight, and a secondary choke or frictional pressure will be applied on the surface to create a combined annular pressure profile within the well. For this paper, we investigated the effect of high power fiber laser heat tension on the carbonate rock body of the Kangan Formation during the irradiation process with accurate simulation work and by comparing the model with experimental results. First, the enforced stress by heat from the laser source was analyzed, and then the fracture propagation pattern in the rock body throughout the entire irradiation process was obtained. This research presented the weakening and fracturing mechanism that was generated from heat exposure during laser irradiation and determined numerical results for fracture pressure before and after laser irradiation. Also, MPD as an effective technology to control this induced anomaly was proposed during the laser-assisted drilling (LAD) operation to prevent any loss, gain, hole instability, or other drilling problem related to this fracturing and weakening.
Experimental Study of Transport Behavior of Swellable Microgel Particles in Superpermeable Channels for Conformance Control
Authors: Zhao Yang , Bai Baojun 
Published: November 2021

SummaryGel treatment is an effective way to attack excessive water production during oil development. The transport behavior of gel materials in reservoirs is of crucial importance to the effectiveness of gel treatments. The aim of this paper is investigating the transport behavior of swellable micrometer-sized preformed particle gels (PPGs, or microgels) through superpermeable (super-K) channels. Sandpacks with permeabilities ranging from 27 to 221 darcies were used to mimic the super-K channels. Multiple pressure sensors were applied along the sandpack models to monitor the propagation behavior of the microgels. The tested microgel particles could transport through the super-K channels, and a higher driving pressure gradient was required when the particle/pore size ratio was larger. The pressure gradient distribution along the super-K channels was relatively uniform when the particle/pore ratio was low (less than 1.3). However, the inlet section would show increasingly higher pressure gradients as the particle/pore ratio was increased, indicating increased difficulty in propagation. The propagation of the gel particles was significantly slower compared with the carrying fluid. The delayed propagation behavior was more pronounced when the particle/pore ratio was higher. The injection pressure was much less sensitive to the injection flow rate compared with a Newtonian fluid. The gel dispersion exhibited an apparent shear thinning (pseudoplastic) behavior when transporting through the porous channels. Breakage of the gel particles was observed especially at high superficial velocities. The particle breakage was partially responsible for the apparent shear thinning behavior. The breakage phenomenon was in favor of deep placement of the gel particles. The channel permeabilities were significantly reduced by the microgels, bringing sufficient resistance to subsequent waterflooding (more than 99.5%). At given matching size conditions, softer gels were more likely to establish in-depth placement and uniform water blocking capacity in the channels. The microgel particles exhibited salinity-responsive behavior to the post-brine flush. The gel particles could shrink and reswell according to the salinity of the injected water. Possibilities were discussed to use this salinity-responsive behavior. Also, the microgels exhibited a particular disproportionate permeability reduction (DPR) effect. After gel injection, the channel permeability to water flow was reduced by more than 20 to 92 times of the permeability to oil flow. This work provides important support to understand the transport behavior of gel particles in super-K channels. The achievements are helpful for gel product selection and gel treatment design.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most widely used techniques to measure human brain activity. EEG recordings provide a direct, high temporal resolution measure of cortical activity from noninvasive scalp electrodes. However, the signals are small relative to the noise, and optimizing the quality of the recorded EEG data can significantly improve the ability to identify signatures of brain processing. This protocol provides a step-by-step guide to recording the EEG from human research participants using strategies optimized for producing the best quality EEG.
Antibody-guided Chromatin Tagmentation for Two or More Factors (ACT2-seq)
Authors: Carter Benjamin , Ku Wai Lim , Zhao Keji 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This protocol details the reagents and steps required to perform antibody-guided chromatin tagmentation for two or more factors (ACT2-seq, ACT2). Like its predecessor ACT-seq, ACT2 uses a fusion of protein A and Tn5 transposase to bind and profile epigenetic marks across the genome. ACT2 builds on the capabilities of ACT-seq by directly and concurrently profiling co-occupancy of epigenetic marks, which previously required laborious, expensive, and technically challenging approaches involving fluorescence, magnetic beads, or single-cell methods. ACT2 requires only standard pipetting and centrifugation techniques and can be completed in less than a single day of bench work.

Abstract
BackgroundCOVID-19 mortality risk stratification tools could improve care, inform accurate and rapid triage decisions, and guide family discussions regarding goals of care. A minority of COVID-19 prognostic tools have been tested in external cohorts. Our objective was to compare machine learning algorithms and develop a tool for predicting subsequent clinical outcomes in COVID-19. MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study that included hospitalized patients with COVID-19 from March 2020 to March 2021. 712 consecutive patients from University of Washington (UW) and 345 patients from Tongji Hospital in China were included. We applied three different machine learning algorithms to clinical and laboratory data collected within the initial 24 hours of hospital admission to determine the risk of in-hospital mortality, transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU), shock requiring vasopressors, and receipt of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Mortality risk models were derived, internally validated in UW and externally validated in Tongji Hospital. The risk models for ICU transfer, shock and RRT were derived and internally validated in the UW dataset. ResultsAmong the UW dataset, 122 patients died (17%) during hospitalization and the mean days to hospital mortality was 15.7 +/- 21.5 (mean +/- SD). Elastic net logistic regression resulted in a C-statistic for in-hospital mortality of 0.72 (95% CI, 0.64 to 0.81) in the internal validation and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.81 to 0.89) in the external validation set. Age, platelet count, and white blood cell count were the most important predictors of mortality. In the sub-group of patients > 50 years of age, the mortality prediction model continued to perform with a C-statistic of 0.82 (95% CI:0.76,0.87). Mortality prediction models also performed well for shock and RRT in the UW dataset but functioned with lower accuracy for ICU transfer. ConclusionsWe trained, internally and externally validated a prediction model using data collected within 24 hours of hospital admission to predict in-hospital mortality on average two weeks prior to death. We also developed models to predict RRT and shock with high accuracy. These models could be used to improve triage decisions, resource allocation, and support clinical trial enrichment.

Abstract
ObjectivesTo investigate the roles of cardiometabolic factors (including blood pressure, blood lipids, thyroid function, body mass, and insulin sensitivity) in mediating the causal effect of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. DesignTwo-step, two-sample multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) study.SettingInternational genome-wide association study (GWAS) consortia data.ExposureT2DM, blood pressure: systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP); blood lipids: low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG); thyroid function: hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism; body mass index (BMI), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), and insulin sensitivity. Main outcomesCVD including coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.MethodsSummary-level data for exposures and main outcomes were extracted from GWAS consortia. We used two-sample MR to illustrate the causal effect of T2DM on CVD subtypes and regression-based MVMR to quantify the possible mediation effects of cardiometabolic factors on CVD.ResultsEach additional unit of log odds of T2DM increased 16% risk of CHD [OR: 1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12-1.21], 15% risk of MI (OR: 1.15, 95%CI: 1.10-1.20), and 10% risk of stroke (OR: 1.10, 95%CI: 1.06-1.13). In mediation analysis, SBP, DBP and TG were found as main mediators, while the mediation effects of other cardiometabolic factors were not significant. The proportion of total effect of T2DM on CHD mediated by SBP, DBP and TG was 16% (95%CI: 8%-24%), 7% (95%CI: 1%-13%) and 10% (95%CI: 2%-18%), respectively. Mediation effect of SBP and DBP on MI and stroke, TG on MI was also prominent, while mediation effect of TG on stroke was not significant. Combined mediation effect of all three mediators accounted for 29%, 26% and 13% of total effect of T2DM on CHD, MI and stroke, respectively.ConclusionSBP, DBP and TG mediate a substantial proportion of the causal effect of T2DM on CVD and thus interventions on these factors might reduce considerable excess risk of CVD among T2DM patients.
