Published: November 2021

AbstractIn this chapter, the authors analyze the artifacts in which students explore the idea of living together as a peaceful interaction between people and mutual enrichment of their difference based on basic rights and freedoms as well as mutual respect. In the CLLP, living together is approached as celebration of diversity intertwined with solidarity, equality, and human rights. The analysis reveals that students often approach living together from their own point of view, but are able to see others’ perspectives. The chapter discusses how learning about solidarity requires sensitivity for difference and thus lessons on the subject need to be planned carefully to ensure inclusive cultural practices and respect for diversity and difference.
Social Responsibility

Published: November 2021

AbstractIn this chapter, the authors analyze the artifacts in which students explore social responsibility. A broad understanding of social responsibility includes nonhumans and nature. In the chapter, the authors approach social responsibility through two subthemes: Social and civic competences and sustainable development. The analysis shows how students learned to address social responsibility to encounter the other and participate in the collaboration with other people. Many of them, however, took an anthropocentric view, centered on humans. The older students were able to extend the idea of social responsibility to the wellbeing of nonhumans, nature, sustainability, and the Earth.

Published: November 2021

AbstractAs implementation of the CLLP was challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, the DIALLS project included in the program an additional lesson in which children reflected on its impact on their social environment. In this chapter, the authors analyze how the children’s artifacts express their understanding of the COVID-19 situation, including themes such as care and protection. The chapter focuses on how the students address empathy, tolerance, and inclusiveness under pandemic conditions. It starts by contextualizing the artifacts with international COVID-19 imagery and nationally similar or differing COVID-19 circumstances. Then, it analyzes the artifacts and their textual narratives.
Functional Inequalities and Monotonicity Results for Modified Lommel Functions of the First Kind
Authors: Gaunt Robert E. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractWe establish some monotonicity results and functional inequalities for modified Lommel functions of the first kind. In particular, we obtain new Turán type inequalities and bounds for ratios of modified Lommel functions of the first kind, as well as the function itself. These results complement and in some cases improve on existing results, and also generalise a number of the results from the literature on monotonicity patterns and functional inequalities for the modified Struve function of the first kind.

Abstract
Purpose
After intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures using an infrapatellar/transtendinous approach, several patients suffer anterior knee pain. We suspect that the approach is associated with soft tissue scars and the development of a postoperative patella baja. The goal of the study is to investigate whether the development of patella baja is associated with worse subjective outcomes.

Methods
We retrospectively analyzed all patients in our orthopedic trauma department between 2011 and 2020 who underwent tibial fracture fixation via intramedullary nailing via an infrapatellar/transtendinous approach. Pre- and postoperative lateral knee x-rays were evaluated by measurement of the Insall-Salvati Index, and nail tip position. All patients were asked to answer the self-assessment Kujala questionnaire and Lysholm questionnaire.

Results
We included 78 patients (age: 44 ± 18 years) with a minimum follow-up of 12 months. Mean follow up was 59 ± 25 months. We included 50 male and 28 female patients. Patella baja detected by Insall-Salvati Index could be observed in 8 (10.3%) patients. Patients with patella baja showed significant worse function measured by the Kujala score 54 ± 18 vs. 80 ± 14 (p < 0.01). Likewise, Lysholm score did show significant differences between both groups (60 ± 24 vs. 86 ± 11; p < 0.01). Nail tip position was not associated with worse subjective function.

Conclusions
Patella baja in patients after tibial intramedullary nailing via an infrapatellar/transtendinous approach, is associated with worse subjective function and increased pain.

Abstract
Introduction
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is clinically indistinguishable from an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In the absence of valid markers for differential diagnosis, coronary angiography has been indispensable.

Methods
In our study, we evaluated the serum levels of sST-2, GDF-15, suPAR and H-FABP in 92 patients with the suspicion of TTS (51 TTS and 41 ACS patients) and 40 gender matched controls (no coronary artery disease or signs of heart failure) at baseline.

Results
H-FABP was significantly higher in ACS patients compared to TTS patients. Even in in propensity score matching for left ventricular ejection fraction, sex and cardiovascular risk factors, differences in the plasma levels of H-FABP in the matched cohort of TTS vs ACS remained statistically significant. Whereas, sST-2 was significantly elevated in TTS patients. H-FABP was superior for prediction of an ACS with even higher accuracy than hs troponin in differential diagnosis (AUC 0.797, p ≤ 0.0001); the optimal cut off for discrimination towards a TTS was calculated as 2.93 ng/ml (sensitivity 70.0%, specificity 82.4%, PPV 75.7%, NPV 77.4%). sST-2 seemed most appropriate for identification of a TTS (AUC 0.653, p = 0.012). The optimal cut off for differential diagnosis was 11018.06 pg/ml (sensitivity 82.0%, specificity 51.2%, PPV 69.4%, NPV 71.9 %).

Conclusion
H-FABP and sST-2 are the most promising markers with better accuracy than preexisting biomarkers in differential diagnosis in our study and therefore, could be crucial for the guidance of treatment in patients with high bleeding risk, advanced renal failure or multimorbidity.

Abstract
Main conclusion
Solanoeclepin A is a hatching stimulant for potato cyst nematode in very low (pM) concentrations. We report a highly sensitive method for the analysis of SolA in plant root exudates using UHPLC-MS/MS and show that there is considerable natural variation in SolA production in Solanum spp. corresponding with their hatching inducing activity.

Abstract
Potato cyst nematode (PCN) is a plant root sedentary endoparasite, specialized in the infection of solanaceous species such as potato (Solanum tuberosum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Earlier reports (Mulder et al. in Hatching agent for the potato cyst nematode, Patent application No. PCT/NL92/00126, 1996; Schenk et al. in Croat Chem Acta 72:593–606, 1999) showed that solanoeclepin A (SolA), a triterpenoid metabolite that was isolated from the root exudate of potato, induces the hatching of PCN. Its low concentration in potato root exudate has hindered progress in fully understanding its hatching inducing activity and exploitation in the control of PCN. To further investigate the role of SolA in hatching of PCN, the establishment of a highly sensitive analytical method is a prerequisite. Here we present the efficient single-step extraction and UHPLC-MS/MS based analysis for rapid determination of SolA in sub-nanomolar concentrations in tomato root exudate. This method was used to analyze SolA production in different tomato cultivars and related solanaceous species, including the trap crop Solanum sisymbriifolium. Hatching assays with PCN, Globodera pallida, with root exudates of tomato genotypes revealed a significant positive correlation between SolA concentration and hatching activity. Our results demonstrate that there is natural variation in SolA production within solanaceous species and that this has an effect on PCN hatching. The analytical method we have developed can potentially be used to support breeding for crop genotypes that induce less hatching and may therefore display reduced infection by PCN.
Stratigraphic reconstruction of the Víti breccia at Krafla volcano (Iceland): insights into pre-eruptive conditions priming explosive eruptions in geothermal areas

Published: November 2021

AbstractKrafla central volcano in Iceland has experienced numerous basaltic fissure eruptions through its history, the most recent examples being the Mývatn (1724‒1729) and Krafla Fires (1975–1984). The Mývatn Fires opened with a steam-driven eruption that produced the Víti crater. A magmatic intrusion has been inferred as the trigger perturbing the geothermal field hosting Víti, but the cause(s) of the explosive response remain uncertain. Here, we present a detailed stratigraphic reconstruction of the breccia erupted from Víti crater, characterize the lithologies involved in the explosions, reconstruct the pre-eruptive setting, fingerprint the eruption trigger and source depth, and reveal the eruption mechanisms. Our results suggest that the Víti eruption can be classified as a magmatic-hydrothermal type and that it was a complex event with three eruption phases. The injection of rhyolite below a pre-existing convecting hydrothermal system likely triggered the Víti eruption. Heating and pressurization of shallow geothermal fluid initiated disruption of a scoria cone “cap” via an initial series of small explosions involving a pre-existing altered weak zone, with ejection of fragments from at least 60-m depth. This event was superseded by larger, broader, and dominantly shallow explosions (~ 200 m depth) driven by decompression of hydrothermal fluids within highly porous, poorly compacted tuffaceous hyaloclastite. This second phase was triggered when pressurized fluids broke through the scoria cone complex “cap”. At the same time, deep-rooted explosions (~ 1-km depth) began to feed the eruption with large inputs of fragmented rhyolitic juvenile and host rock from a deeper zone. Shallow explosions enlarging the crater dominated the final phase. Our results indicate that at Krafla, as in similar geological contexts, shallow and thin hyaloclastite sequences hosting hot geothermal fluids and capped by low-permeability lithologies (e.g. altered scoria cone complex and/or massive, thick lava flow sequence) are susceptible to explosive failure in the case of shallow magmatic intrusion(s).
A comparison of different soft-computing techniques for the evaluation of handball goalkeepers
Authors: Angulo Eusebio , Romero Francisco P. , López-Gómez Julio A. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe efficiency of handball goalkeepers is a good predictor of team ranking in tournaments, but despite this, very few studies have been carried out into the performance characteristics of elite goalkeepers. This paper provides the criteria for evaluating a handball goalkeeper and applies a variety of soft-computing methodologies for estimating their weights. More specifically, a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method, a metaheuristic optimisation algorithm, and statistical and domain-knowledge-based methods were used to evaluate the actions of goalkeepers during the game. Computer experiments were performed for all the proposed methodologies, using data from the 2020 European Men’s Handball Championship, in order to estimate the weights of the indicators. Then, these weights were used to identify the best goalkeeper and identify and rank the top five goalkeepers as determined by the tournament organisers. The results obtained show that using the metaheuristic-based method is extremely helpful in quantifying the expert assessments, which are often challenging to express in a disaggregated form. The other two techniques offer a less optimal but more easily interpretable result for coaches and fans.
On the analysis of non-coding roles in open source development
Authors: Cánovas Izquierdo Javier Luis , Cabot Jordi 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe role of non-coding contributors in Open Source Software (OSS) is poorly understood. Most of current research around OSS development focuses on the coding aspects of the project (e.g., commits, pull requests or code reviews) while ignoring the potential of other types of contributions. Often, due to the assumption that these other contributions are not significant in number and that, in any case, they are handled by the same people that are also part of the “coding team”. This paper aims to investigate whether this is actually the case by analyzing the frequency and diversity of non-coding contributions in OSS development. As a sample of projects for our study we have taken the 100 most popular projects in the ecosystem of NPM, a package manager for JavaScript. Our results validate the importance of dedicated non-coding contributors in OSS and the diversity of OSS communities as, typically, a contributor specializes in a specific subset of roles. We foresee that projects adopting explicit policies to attract and onboard them could see a positive impact in their long-term sustainability providing they also put in place the right governance strategies to facilitate the migration and collaboration among the different roles. As part of this work, we also provide a replicability package to facilitate further quantitative role-based analysis by other researchers.
MiCADO-Edge: Towards an Application-level Orchestrator for the Cloud-to-Edge Computing Continuum

Published: November 2021

AbstractAutomated deployment and run-time management of microservices-based applications in cloud computing environments is relatively well studied with several mature solutions. However, managing such applications and tasks in the cloud-to-edge continuum is far from trivial, with no robust, production-level solutions currently available. This paper presents our first attempt to extend an application-level cloud orchestration framework called MiCADO to utilise edge and fog worker nodes. The paper illustrates how MiCADO-Edge can automatically deploy complex sets of interconnected microservices in such multi-layered cloud-to-edge environments. Additionally, it shows how monitoring information can be collected from such services and how complex, user- defined run-time management policies can be enforced on application components running at any layer of the architecture. The implemented solution is demonstrated and evaluated using two realistic case studies from the areas of video processing and secure healthcare data analysis.
Assessing Fidelity to and Satisfaction with the “Adolescent Coping with Depression Course” (ACDC) Intervention in a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Keles Serap , Bringedal Görel , Idsoe Thormod 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis paper aims at describing the process for assessing the intervention fidelity of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an “Adolescent Coping with Depression Course” (ACDC) and to assess the participants’ satisfaction with the intervention. We applied the comprehensive fidelity model developed by the National Institutes of Health’s Behavior Change Consortium to examine how our intervention met the fidelity requirements under five categories. Data came from a two-arm parallel cluster RCT. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses of the ACDC intervention using the comprehensive fidelity model indicated that the level of fidelity in this study did not reach 100%. However, it was approaching a high level of treatment fidelity. Participants also expressed high levels of satisfaction (M = 3.65, SD = .95). This analysis is important to show how appropriately the intervention was implemented, areas for improvement to increase its fidelity, and to ensure the internal and external validity of the findings.

Evolutionary Quasi-Variational-Hemivariational Inequalities I: Existence and Optimal Control
Authors: Zeng Shengda , Motreanu Dumitru , Khan Akhtar A. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractWe study a nonlinear evolutionary quasi–variational–hemivariational inequality (in short, (QVHVI)) involving a set-valued pseudo-monotone map. The central idea of our approach consists of introducing a parametric variational problem that defines a variational selection associated with (QVHVI). We prove the solvability of the parametric variational problem by employing a surjectivity theorem for the sum of operators, combined with Minty’s formulation and techniques from the nonsmooth analysis. Then, an existence theorem for (QVHVI) is established by using Kluge’s fixed point theorem for set-valued operators. As an application, an abstract optimal control problem for the (QVHVI) is investigated. We prove the existence of solutions for the optimal control problem and the weak sequential compactness of the solution set via the Weierstrass minimization theorem and the Kuratowski-type continuity properties.
A biomimetic sliding–stretching approach to seismic isolation
Authors: Fraternali Fernando , Singh Narinder , Amendola Ada , Benzoni Gianmario , Milton Graeme W. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThere is growing demand in industrialized and developing countries to provide people and structures with effective earthquake protection. Here, we employ architectured material concepts and a bio-inspired approach to trail-blaze a new path to seismic isolation. We develop a novel seismic isolator whose unit cell is formed by linkages that replicate the bones of human limbs. Deformable tendons connect the limb members to a central post carrying the vertical load, which can slide against the bottom plate of the system. While the displacement capacity of the device depends only on the geometry of the limbs, its vibration period is tuned by dynamically stretching the tendons in the nonlinear stress–strain regime, so as to avoid resonance with seismic excitations. This biomimetic, sliding–stretching isolator can be scaled to seismically protect infrastructure, buildings, artworks and equipment with customized properties and sustainable materials. It does not require heavy industry or expensive materials and is easily assembled from metallic parts and 3D-printed components.

The financialization of rented homes: continuity and change in housing financialization
Authors: Fuller Gregory W. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis paper has two purposes: the first is to offer an empirical account of how rented homes have become more entangled in financial markets over the past two decades, particularly through the advent of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and listed real estate operating companies (REOCs). The second is to assess whether conceptualizing this as a process of “rental housing financialization” — distinct from but connected to the broader concepts of “housing financialization” and “financialization” — offers value to the scholarly community.
