A secure cross‐organizational container deployment approach to enable ad hoc collaborations
Authors: Van Hoye Laurens , Wauters Tim , De Turck Filip , Volckaert Bruno 
Published: December 2021

SummaryWhen organizations need to collaborate urgently, for example, in the case of an emergency situation, it is needed to deploy software components into the different domains in order to allow crucial data to be exchanged. The ad hoc aspect is important as it does not allow the participating organizations to negotiate entire workflows and/or contracts upfront. To enable these ad hoc cross‐organizational collaborations, a container orchestration platform, like Kubernetes, can be used to quickly deploy pods of containers in a cross‐organizational overlay network, even fully automated. Although this is technically feasible, there may be a trust issue from the perspective of a participating organization when an external organization is capable of deploying any software inside its network domain. This concern is examined and resolved in this article, by proposing an extension to the existing deployment scheme used in vanilla Kubernetes. It allows the participating organizations to assess whether a suggested deployment conforms to the goal of the project and to maintain an overview of all activities related to a single collaboration. This intermediate step prevents an honest organization against potentially malicious behaviour of external entities, either the orchestrator and/or the other organizations, solving the aforementioned trust issue. Evaluation of the implemented prototype shows that a secure collaboration, which requires at most tens of containers, can be attained with sub‐second deployment overheads per container, apart from the required manual interventions for trust management purposes.

Published: December 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the actions taken by recipients of mail‐out faecal occult blood test (FOBT) kits and to identify the points at which progress towards kit completion typically stops. Differences according to gender, age, and screening intention were also examined.Methods1599 people completed an online survey identifying the actions they took upon receiving an FOBT kit. Latent class analysis was conducted to identify latent subgroups of participants that reported similar actions. Differences between gender, age, and intention status were assessed using non‐invariance testing.ResultsFour latent subgroups of FOBT invitees were identified: those who complete and return their FOBT kit (‘completers’); those who bring the kit into their house but go no further (‘ignorers’); those who open the package and read the bowel cancer information materials but go no further (‘readers’); and those who read the instructions but do not place the kit near the toilet and do not complete their FOBT kit (‘leavers’). Non‐completers who intended to use the kit were most likely to be in the ‘leavers’ class, while those who had no intention were most likely to be in the ‘readers’ class.ConclusionsDistinct subgroups of non‐responders exist among bowel cancer screening invitees, suggesting different behaviour change interventions are needed to facilitate participation. Some invitees, especially those with high participatory intention, are likely to benefit from prompts to take the kit into the toilet, while others, with little participatory intention, often read the invitation materials presenting an opportunity to intervene with health messages.

AbstractThe post 3 kidney transplant course of pretransplant echocardiographically‐defined pulmonary hypertension (PH) was reviewed in 115 patients. Of these 61 patients (the largest cohort reported to date), underwent 160 “for indication” echocardiograms posttransplant (mean echocardiograms per patient: 2.6 ± 2.3). Patients undergoing posttransplant echocardiograms demonstrated greater risks for worse outcomes than those without posttransplant echocardiograms; however, there was no difference in mortality, death‐censored graft failure or the composite of death or graft failure between these two groups. Of patients tested, 36 (59%) showed resolution of PH at a median of 37.5 months. Six patients (16.7%) in whom PH resolved (at a median of 29 months), experienced recurrence of PH after an interval of 48 months. No pretransplant demographic or echocardiographic characteristics distinguished those in whom PH persisted versus resolved. Though there was no difference in the risk for mortality or death‐censored graft loss between the two groups at 3 and 5 years, there was a higher risk for the composite of mortality or graft loss at three but not at five years in the group with persistent PH. In conclusion, echocardiographically defined PH resolved in 59% of patients following kidney transplantation; but irrespective of resolution there was no clear association with worse outcome.
Macroinvertebrate and diatom community responses to thermal alterations below water supply reservoirs
Authors: Krajenbrink Hendrik J. , White James C. , Dunbar Michael J. , Wood Paul J. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractRiver impoundments have transformed river ecosystems globally due to the modification of various abiotic and biotic factors. This study provides rare evidence quantifying how water supply reservoirs alter water temperature regimes and its effects on macroinvertebrate and diatom communities over a 4‐year period. We obtained near‐continuous water temperature measurements upstream and downstream of three reservoirs and analysed thermal variables in association with macroinvertebrate and diatom community indices (including taxonomic richness, proportion of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera taxa [%EPT] and diatom ecological guilds). Reservoirs typically decreased downstream thermal variability, with reduced summer temperatures and increased winter temperatures, and a delayed timing of annual temperature extremes. Marked differences in thermal regime modifications between reservoirs were observed, including evidence of inter‐annual variation associated with inter‐basin water transfers downstream of one reservoir. Biomonitoring indices showed associations with thermal indices that differed between site types (regulated versus non‐regulated) and seasons (spring vs. autumn). Various macroinvertebrate and diatom indices capturing community diversity elements and sensitivities to different environmental pressures were associated with higher maximum summer temperatures and lower minimum winter temperatures, suggesting ecological effects of reduced thermal variation downstream of reservoirs. Different ecological responses to thermal indices were observed between seasons, likely due to organism life‐cycle effects and intra‐annual thermal variations. Contrasting macroinvertebrate and diatom communities were observed between regulated and non‐regulated sites, which may be driven by differences in the thermal regime and other abiotic factors at regulated sites, including nutrient, sediment and flow regimes. Long‐term continuous water temperature monitoring of both multiple regulated and non‐regulated river systems is necessary to better understand the environmental and ecological effects of river impoundments. Given the extent to which river impoundment has modified stream temperatures globally, the inclusion of thermal regime data in environmental flow studies alongside hydrological information may guide the implementation of mitigation measures on impounded waterbodies.
Resistant Starch in Wheat‐, Barley‐, Rye‐, and Oat‐Based Foods: A Review
Authors: Nguyen Si Nhat , Drawbridge Pamela , Beta Trust 
Published: December 2021

AbstractResistant starch (RS) has received a lot of attention from plant, food, and clinical scientists because of its demonstrated health benefits. In this review, the presence and formation of RS from grain to food is investigated with a focus on wheat‐, barley‐, rye‐, and oat‐based foods. The impact of ingredients (lipids and proteins) and food processing on the formation of RS in grain‐based food is examined. RS has been found to develop in various processes during food manufacturing (baking, extrusion, fermentation, and mashing) and its content could be affected by changing the operating parameters. In addition, the formation of RS during the preservation of starchy foods as well as the techniques to mitigate this phenomenon is discussed. The introduction of RS into cereal‐based foods (bread, cookie, biscuit, and pasta) enhances the product fiber content and induces some changes in the technological parameters, texture, color, and sensory properties of final products. Overall, the acceptability of RS‐incorporated foods is well liked and has the potential to elicit positive effects on gut health and postprandial glycemia.
Free energy landscape and kinetics of phase transition in two coupled SYK models and the corresponding wormhole-two black hole switching
Authors: Li Ran , Wang Jin 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
We propose that the thermodynamics and the kinetics of the phase transition between wormhole and two black hole described by the two coupled SYK model can be investigated in terms of the stochastic dynamics on the underlying free energy landscape. We assume that the phase transition is a stochastic process under the thermal fluctuations. By quantifying the underlying free energy landscape, we study the phase diagram, the kinetic time and its fluctuations in details, which reveal the underlying thermodynamics and kinetics. It is shown that the first order phase transition between wormhole and two black hole described by two coupled SYK model is analogous to the Van der Waals phase transition. Therefore, the emergence of wormhole and two black hole phases, the phase transition and associated kinetics can be quantitatively addressed in our free energy landscape and kinetic framework through the dependence on the barrier height and the temperature.
The spectrum of marginally-deformed $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 CFTs with AdS4 S-fold duals of type IIB
Authors: Cesàro Mattia , Larios Gabriel , Varela Oscar 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
A holographic duality was recently established between an $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 4 non-geometric AdS4 solution of type IIB supergravity in the so-called S-fold class, and a three- dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) defined as a limit of $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 4 super-Yang-Mills at an interface. Using gauged supergravity, the $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 conformal manifold (CM) of this CFT has been assessed to be two-dimensional. Here, we holographically characterise the large-N operator spectrum of the marginally-deformed CFT. We do this by, firstly, providing the algebraic structure of the complete Kaluza-Klein (KK) spectrum on the associated two-parameter family of AdS4 solutions. And, secondly, by computing the $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 super-multiplet dimensions at the first few KK levels on a lattice in the CM, using new exceptional field theory techniques. Our KK analysis also allows us to establish that, at least at large N, this $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 CM is topologically a non-compact cylindrical Riemann surface bounded on only one side.
From Kajihara’s transformation formula to deformed Macdonald–Ruijsenaars and Noumi–Sano operators
Authors: Hallnäs Martin , Langmann Edwin , Noumi Masatoshi , Rosengren Hjalmar 
Published: December 2021

AbstractKajihara obtained in 2004 a remarkable transformation formula connecting multiple basic hypergeometric series associated withA-type root systems of different ranks. By specialisations of his formula, we deduce kernel identities for deformed Macdonald–Ruijsenaars (MR) and Noumi–Sano (NS) operators. The deformed MR operators were introduced by Sergeev and Veselov in the first order case and by Feigin and Silantyev in the higher order cases. As applications of our kernel identities, we prove that all of these operators pairwise commute and are simultaneously diagonalised by the super-Macdonald polynomials. We also provide an explicit description of the algebra generated by the deformed MR and/or NS operators by a Harish-Chandra type isomorphism and show that the deformed MR (NS) operators can be viewed as restrictions of inverse limits of ordinary MR (NS) operators.
Warum brauchen wir Leitlinien für Suizidprävention?
Authors: Schneider Barbara , Reif Andreas , Wagner Birgit , Wolfersdorf Manfred 
Published: December 2021

ZusammenfassungTrotz der Relevanz des Themas Suizidalität und gut bekannter Risikofaktoren gibt es bisher keine deutsche Leitlinie zur Suizidalität im Erwachsenenalter. In diesem Beitrag werden zunächst die Geschichte und die Hintergründe der Arbeit mit Leitlinien beschrieben. Der aktuelle Stand der Leitlinien für psychische Erkrankungen in Deutschland wird dargestellt und auf suizidpräventive Inhalte hin untersucht. Die Notwendigkeit evidenzbasierter Suizidprävention und einer spezifischen Leitlinie zur Suizidprävention bei Erwachsenen wird diskutiert.Nur durch gezielte Suizidpräventionsstrategien und Interventionen für die jeweiligen Risikogruppen und unter Beachtung von Alters- und Geschlechtsspezifität kann für alle Betroffenen eine flächendeckende, gut erreichbare, bedarfs- und versorgungsgerechte, finanzierbare sowie nachhaltige medizinische Versorgung auf einem hohen Niveau sichergestellt werden. Dies gilt für den ambulanten und den stationären Bereich sowie für deren Schnittstellen. Bei Suizidalität handelt es sich um ein diagnoseübergreifendes, in unterschiedlichen Versorgungskontexten auftretendes Syndrom mit komplexem Behandlungsbedarf, weshalb intersektorale und multiprofessionelle Aspekte in einer entsprechenden Leitlinie besonders zu adressieren sind. Wissenschaftliche Evidenz und interdisziplinärer Konsens unter Expertinnen und Experten zum Umgang mit suizidalem Verhalten in der medizinischen Versorgung können dazu beitragen, Morbidität und Mortalität im Zusammenhang mit Suizidalität zu reduzieren. Im August 2021 wurde die Finanzierung einer S3-Leitlinie „Umgang mit Suizidalität“ vom Innovationsfonds des Gemeinsamen Bundesausschusses bewilligt.
Density of type-dependent sets in Krull monoids with analytic structure
Authors: Radziejewski Maciej 
Published: December 2021

AbstractWe describe structural and quantitative properties of type-dependent sets in monoids with suitable analytic structure, including simple analytic monoids, introduced by Kaczorowski (Semigroup Forum 94:532–555, 2017. 10.1007/s00233-016-9778-9), and formations, as defined by Geroldinger and Halter-Koch (Non-unique factorizations, Chapman and Hall, Boca Raton, 2006. 10.1201/9781420003208). We propose the notions of rank and degree to measure the size of a type-dependent set in structural terms. We also consider various notions of regularity of type-dependent sets, related to the analytic properties of their zeta functions, and obtain results on the counting functions of these sets.
Forecasting carbon futures price: a hybrid method incorporating fuzzy entropy and extreme learning machine
Authors: Chen Peng , Vivian Andrew , Ye Cheng 
Published: December 2021

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a novel hybrid model that extends prior work involving ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) by using fuzzy entropy and extreme learning machine (ELM) methods. We demonstrate this 3-stage model by applying it to forecast carbon futures prices which are characterized by chaos and complexity. First, we employ the EEMD method to decompose carbon futures prices into a couple of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and one residue. Second, the fuzzy entropy and K-means clustering methods are used to reconstruct the IMFs and the residue to obtain three reconstructed components, specifically a high frequency series, a low frequency series, and a trend series. Third, the ARMA model is implemented for the stationary high and low frequency series, while the extreme learning machine (ELM) model is utilized for the non-stationary trend series. Finally, all the component forecasts are aggregated to form final forecasts of the carbon price for each model. The empirical results show that the proposed reconstruction algorithm can bring more than 40% improvement in prediction accuracy compared to the traditional fine-to-coarse reconstruction algorithm under the same forecasting framework. The hybrid forecasting model proposed in this paper also well captures the direction of the price changes, with strong and robust forecasting ability, which is significantly better than the single forecasting models and the other hybrid forecasting models.
New insights into the relationship between seismic intensity measures and nonlinear structural response
Authors: Vargas-Alzate Yeudy F. , Hurtado Jorge E. , Pujades Luis G. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThis paper focuses on the probabilistic analysis of Intensity Measures (IMs) and Engineering Demand Parameters (EDPs) in the context of earthquake-induced ground motions. Several statistical properties, which are desirable inIMs when they are used to predictEDPs, have been analysed. Specifically, efficiency, sufficiency andsteadfastnesshave been quantified for a set ofIMs with respect to twoEDPs: the maximum inter-storey drift ratio,MIDR, and the maximum floor acceleration,MFA. Steadfastness is a new statistical property proposed in this article, which is related to the ability ofIMs to forecastEDPs for large building suites. In other words, this means that efficiency does not significantly vary when different types of buildings are simultanously considered in the statistical analyses. This property allows reducing the number of calculations when performing seismic risk estimations at urban level since, for instance, a large variety of fragility curves, representing specific building typologies, can be grouped together within a more generic one. The main sources of uncertainty involved in the calculation of the seismic risk have been considered in the analysis. To do so, the nonlinear dynamic responses of probabilistic multi-degree-of-freedom building models, subjected to a large data set of ground motion records, have been calculated. These models have been generated to simulate the dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete buildings whose number of stories vary from 3 to 13. 18 spectrum-, energy- and direct-accelerogram-basedIMs have been considered herein. Then, from clouds ofIM-EDPpoints, efficiency, sufficiency and steadfastness have been quantified. ForMIDR, results show thatIMs based on spectral velocity are more efficient and steadfast than the ones based on spectral acceleration; spectral velocity averaged in a range of periods,AvSv, has shown to be the most efficientIMwith an adequate level of steadfastness. ForMFA, spectral acceleration-based-IMs are more efficient than velocity-based ones. A comparison is also presented on the use of linear vs quadratic regression models, and their implications on the derivation of fragility functions. Concerning sufficiency, most of the 18IMs analysed do not have this property. Nonetheless, multi-regression models have been employed to address this lack of sufficiency allowing to obtain a so-called ‘ideal’IM.
Functions of digital learning within the international mobility programme – perspectives of university students and staff from Europe
Authors: Leek Joanna , Rojek Marcin 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThis paper is based on research studies conducted in the academic community of students and staff members (teachers, researchers and administrative staff) from 16 European universities that focus on digital learning in international mobility. The context of our qualitative study is digital learning during an international mobility scheme when university staff and students do not go abroad for their mobility programme but take courses offered by a partner university from home. By taking the perspectives of both of these academic groups, we aimed to arrive at a clearer understanding of how the digital environment supports digital learning within mobility, ascertain the functions of digital learning and describe the opportunities and challenges that are presented to students engaged in international mobility. Empirical data was gathered using questionnaires and focus group interviews. This study puts forward the assertion that distinctive features of learning in a digital environment within international mobility are systems thinking, self-directed learning and focus on course content. Digital learning environments support motivation to learn, and independence in gaining knowledge. In international digital learning, the online courses of which are characterized by their innovative pedagogical and assessment practices, students and staff become more autonomous in their learning, and more willing to open up to meeting the challenges encountered in various educational settings. Digital learning in the context of mobility means giving meaning to one’s own activity in a digital environment and extension of the course content, meaning oral expression such as discussing and interacting with teachers and peers.
Future Contingency and Classical Indeterminism
Authors: Gaskin Richard 
Published: December 2021

AbstractA position that has been called ‘classical indeterminism’ has recently been developed in order to model vagueness: this approach appeals to an object-language ‘determinately’ operator, the semantics of which are defined in such a way as to preserve the principle of bivalence. I suggest that a prominent argument against this strategy, which I call the Field–Williamson argument, fails. The classical indeterminist position in its general form was anticipated by the Aristotelian commentators in their discussions of Aristotle’s famous ‘sea battle’ passage concerning future contingency. But I maintain that, ironically enough, the strategy is less happily applied in this case, where a version of the Field–Williamson argument succeeds.
