Published: April 2021

AbstractLongitudinal studies into the relationship between affect (positive or negative feelings) towards one’s own ethnic group and wellbeing are rare, particularly for Indigenous peoples. In this paper, we test the longitudinal effects of in-group warmth (a measure of ethnic identity affect) and ethnic identity centrality on three wellbeing measures for New Zealand Māori: life satisfaction (LS), self-esteem (SE), and personal wellbeing (PW). Longitudinal panel data collected from Māori (N = 3803) aged 18 or over throughout seven annual assessments (2009–2015) in the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study were analyzed using latent trajectory models with structured residuals to examine cross-lagged within-person effects. Higher in-group warmth towards Māori predicted increases in all three wellbeing measures, even more strongly than ethnic identity centrality. Bi-directionally, PW and SE predicted increased in-group warmth, and SE predicted ethnic identification. Further, in sample-level (between-person) trends, LS and PW rose, but ethnic identity centrality interestingly declined over time. This is the first large-scale longitudinal study showing a strong relationship between positive affect towards one’s Indigenous ethnic group and wellbeing. Efforts at cultural recovery and restoration have been a deliberate protective response to colonization, but among Māori, enculturation and access to traditional cultural knowledge varies widely. The data reported here underline the role of ethnic identity affect as an important dimension of wellbeing and call for continued research into the role of this dimension of ethnic identity for Indigenous peoples.
Embodiment, Movement and Agency in Neuroethics
Authors: Kellmeyer Philipp , Müller Oliver , Voigt Julia 
Published: April 2021

AbstractEmerging neurotechnologies, such as brain-computer interfaces, interact closely with a user’s body by enabling actions controlled with brain activity. This can have a profound impact on the user’s experience of movement, the sense of agency and other body-and action-related aspects. In this introduction to the special issue “Mechanized Brains, Embodied Technologies”, we reflect on the relationships between embodiment, movement and agency that are addressed in the collected papers.
The Differential Influence of Learner Factors and Learning Context on Different Professional Learning Activities
Authors: Hilkenmeier Frederic , Goller Michael , Schaper Niclas 
Published: April 2021

AbstractParticipation in designated learning opportunities and engagement in workplace learning are very different kinds of professional learning activities: Whereas the former takes place in organised, predefined settings with intended learning objectives, the latter mostly arises as a by-product through everyday experiences at work. Yet, empirical and theoretical models often do not sufficiently differentiate between these two kinds of learning activities. The main goal in the present study is to test whether the two discrete learning activities are indeed facilitated in different ways and by different antecedents. The results of a multi-wave diary study with a sample of 229 German employees show that engagement in workplace learning is not influenced by conscious beliefs connected to learning, which play a central role in most theoretical models explaining participation in designated learning opportunities, underlining the need for an autonomous theory of workplace learning. Furthermore, the current study shows the strong direct, indirect, and moderating influence of organisational learning culture on both kinds of professional learning activities. Possible implications for practitioners to put greater emphasis on organisational factors when designing learning opportunities are discussed.

Authors: Hacker Valentin , Radakovic Sonja 
Published: April 2021

ZusammenfassungDie Urticaria solaris ist eine seltene, IgE-mediierte Photodermatose. Wenngleich die Erkrankung oft nur saisonal auftritt, geht sie mit einem erheblichen Einfluss auf die Lebensqualität der Betroffenen einher. Die Therapie der Wahl sind H1-Antihistaminika und Photohardening, bei mangelndem Ansprechen sollte eine Therapie mit Omalizumab in Erwägung gezogen werden. In diesem Beitrag wird der Fall eines 22 Jahre alten Patienten beschrieben, bei dem nach mehreren frustranen Therapieversuchen durch eine Behandlung mit Omalizumab eine ausgeprägte Besserung seiner Beschwerden erzielt werden konnte.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Introduction
In the Netherlands, the total number of yearly measured lipid profiles exceeds 500,000. While lipid values are strongly affected by age and sex, until recently, no up-to-date age- and sex-specific lipid reference values were available. We describe the translation of big-cohort lipid data into accessible reference values, which can be easily incorporated in daily clinical practice.

Methods
Lipid values (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides) from all healthy adults and children in the LifeLines cohort were used to generate age- and sex-specific percentiles. A combination of RStudio, Cascading Style Sheets and HyperText Markup Language was used to interactively display the percentiles in a responsive web layout.

Results
After exclusion of subjects reporting cardiovascular disease or lipid-lowering therapy at baseline, 141,611 subjects were included. On the website, input fields were created for age, sex and all main plasma lipids. Upon input of these values, corresponding percentiles are calculated, and output is displayed in a table and an interactive graph for each lipid. The website has been made available in both Dutch and English and can be accessed at www.lipidtools.com.

Conclusion
We constructed the first searchable, national lipid reference value tool with graphical display in the Netherlands to use in screening for dyslipidaemias and to reduce the underuse of lipid-lowering therapy in Dutch primary prevention. This study illustrates that data collected in big-cohort studies can be made easily accessible with modern digital techniques and preludes the digital health revolution yet to come.

Abstract
A ground-based and heliborne survey was conducted immediately after the disaster that took place on 7th February, 2021 in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Based on these observations and freely available Google Earth imagery, we have arrived at plausible causes of this catastrophe as detachment of a sizeable rock mass and overlying hanging glacier in the Raunthi catchment that dammed the Rishiganga River and led to the devastation of roads, bridges and hydropower projects in downstream.
The Neogene Siwalik Succession of the Arunachal Himalaya: A Revised Lithostratigrphic Classification and its Implications for the Regional Paleogeography

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Marine deposits in the Neogene Siwalik succession have been documented from the Tista valley, Bhutan and Kameng river sections of the Eastern Himalaya. This study was designed to investigate possible marine influence further east. During this investigation, it was revealed that the current classification and description of the stratigraphic units were inadequate to describe the variations present in this succession fully. In place of the existing three-fold classification, a four-fold lithostratigraphic classification of the Siwalik Group in the Arunachal Himalaya has been proposed by adding a new Siji Formation. This newly proposed formation is completely different from the underlying sand-dominated Subansiri or overlying conglomerate-dominated Kimin formations. Nearly 1000 m thick succession of the Siji Formation is characterised by of alternating tabular sheet like beds of grey mudstone, siltstone and sandstone with uncommon thin conglomerate beds. On the basis of the four-fold classification, the Siwalik rocks of the Arunachal Himalaya have been mapped over a strike length of ~230 km, demonstrating the lateral continuity of the individual formations and the large-scale deformational features affecting the rocks. Three lithologs prepared show the distinctive lithological characters and overall paleocurrent pattern of these formations. The lithological, sedimentological and ichnological features of the Dafla and Siji formations provide evidence for marine influence in the study area. The proposed new lithostratigraphic subdivisions are expected to facilitate regional correlation and evidence of marine sedimentation which will throw new light on the basin analysis of the Siwalik Group in the Eastern Himalayan.
Assessment of Groundwater Quality for Drinking and Irrigation Purpose using Geospatial and Statistical techniques in a Semi-arid Region of Rajasthan, India
Authors: Kumar Jai , Biswas Brototi , Verghese Susan 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The role of groundwater in irrigation and drinking purposes and sustaining growth in economy is well-known. Groundwater is generally less susceptible to contamination and pollution when compared to surface water bodies. This paper is based on extensive investigations on the spatial and seasonal representative measurement of chemical parameters from 80 dug wells of Churu and adjoining Bikaner districts of Rajasthan, India. The region has dearth of water resources – both surface and sub-surface, with the main source of water being the dug wells. The application of hydro-statistical techniques and tools like Pearson’s correlation coefficient, relative activity of sodium ion (SAR), Wilcox diagram, Piper diagram and magnesium hazard indicate that the chemical parameters of the water of the study region is of very poor quality and not suitable for drinking and irrigation purposes. Wilcox diagram shows high sodium content, can destroy the soil structure rendering the soil and water unsuitable.

Abstract
This study provides a description and statistical analysis of fold-related fractures in the Khur fold, northeast of Kopet Dagh fold-and-thrust belt, Iran. Kopet Dagh fold-and-thrust belt, as a part of Alpine-Himalaya orogeny belt in west Asia, forms the northeastern boundary of Iran plateau. In this study, the remote sensing technique was utilized to map and statistically analyze the lineaments on the satellite images. Extraction of fractures is based on the processing of satellite images and completed by field observations. Based on their directions, fractures can be categorized into four sets including an axial and a cross-axial set that trend parallel and perpendicular to the fold axial trace, respectively, and two oblique sets that trend at moderate angles to the axial trace. The mean trends of the principal compressional stress, independently calculated for the fold-related fractures systems, are close to N41° ± 5°E and are perpendicular to the general NW-SE trend of the Kopet Dagh fold-and-thrust belt. The cross-axial set is interpreted as the oldest set. The major orientation of lineaments is NE-SW. Also, the length distribution of fractures shows a right-skewed distribution. To extract the underlying scaling parameters, the dataset was analyzed using Maximum Likelihood Estimators (MLEs). It was found that a lognormal distribution is the best representative statistic for fracture lengths in the study area. The combination of information from the prepared fracture map, the analysis and measurement of the fractal dimension, and calculations of variables such as density and intensity revealed that the high probability of permeability along with fractures with an NW-SE trend.

AbstractLake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake and the largest tropical lake in the world. The transboundary lake has the fastest growing population in its catchment, which can impact the water and sediment quality. To determine the extent of anthropogenic effects on sediment quality in the Ugandan part of Lake Victoria, the contents and binding behaviour of trace elements were analysed, as well as organic matter and phosphorus in different sediment layers of both deep and coastal sediments near the coastal cities of Entebbe, Kampala and Jinja. The data were assessed using the German LAWA criteria for trace-element pollution, the Geo-Index, Cluster- and Factor analyses. Mostly, no critical trace-element contamination in the sediments of the investigated area was observed. However, changes in element distributions caused by anthropogenic influences from around the lake were detected, like higher contents of Cu, Ti and V in near shore sediments with urban surrounding. Near Jinja, industrial wastewaters caused particularly elevated contents of Cu in the sediments (70–121 mg/kg, 3.5–6 times the geogenic background), exceeding the LAWA criteria and potentially harming the aquatic habitat. In addition, temporally growing organic matter contents in the lake sediments near the estuary of River Nzoia (from 4.2 to 17.6% in around 60 years) due to increased soil erosion in the river’s catchment area and blooms of the water hyacinth became visible. This study demonstrates that the whole catchment area is responsible to ensure a healthy aquatic ecosystem in Lake Victoria.
Autonomous Driving Ethics: from Trolley Problem to Ethics of Risk

Published: April 2021

AbstractIn 2017, the German ethics commission for automated and connected driving released 20 ethical guidelines for autonomous vehicles. It is now up to the research and industrial sectors to enhance the development of autonomous vehicles based on such guidelines. In the current state of the art, we find studies on how ethical theories can be integrated. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no framework for motion planning has yet been published which allows for the true implementation of any practical ethical policies. This paper makes four contributions: Firstly, we briefly present the state of the art based on recent works concerning unavoidable accidents of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and identify further need for research. While most of the research focuses on decision strategies in moral dilemmas or crash optimization, we aim to develop an ethical trajectory planning for all situations on public roads. Secondly, we discuss several ethical theories and argue for the adoption of the theory “ethics of risk.” Thirdly, we propose a new framework for trajectory planning, with uncertainties and an assessment of risks. In this framework, we transform ethical specifications into mathematical equations and thus create the basis for the programming of an ethical trajectory. We present a risk cost function for trajectory planning that considers minimization of the overall risk, priority for the worst-off and equal treatment of people. Finally, we build a connection between the widely discussed trolley problem and our proposed framework.
Perinatal hypoxia and the risk of severe Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH): a retrospective analysis of the pH value of umbilical arterial blood after birth

Published: April 2021

AbstractPurposeMolar-Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) remains a widespread developmental disorder of the teeth with a still largely unknown etiology. Perinatal events were blamed in previous studies for the development of MIH.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of perinatal hypoxia—determined by the pH value of the umbilical cord blood—and to investigate its correlation with severe MIH retrospectively. In addition, cesarean section was recorded as differentiation variable.MethodsA total number of 138 children (mean age 8.0 years ± 1.7), who were treated for severe MIH in a dental office in Berlin between the years 2008 and 2019, were included in the study. The control group was comprised of patients with the same date of birth (44 children, mean age 7.7 years ± 1.7). Information on the pH value of the arterial blood from the umbilical cord taken immediately after birth, whose recording is mandatory in Germany, was received from the parents by letter survey requesting the entries from the German Child Health Booklet.ResultsIn the group of the male children born without cesarean section, the pH value of the control group was significantly lower (7.19 ± 0.09) than the pH value of the MIH group (7.27 ± 0.07,p = 0.0008). In female children born with or without cesarean section as well as in male children born by cesarean section there were no significant differences between the MIH and control group.ConclusionsNo significant association between MIH and the pH value of the umbilical cord blood or birth by cesarean section could be found in the examined patient population.
Medina Gounass: Constructing Extra-National Space in a West African Borderland
Authors: Glovsky David Newman 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThe historical autonomy of the religious community of Medina Gounass in Senegal represents an alternative geographic territory to that of colonial and postcolonial states. The borderland location of Medina Gounass allowed the town to detach itself from colonial and independent Senegal, creating parallel governmental structures and imposing a particular interpretation of Islamic law. While in certain facets this autonomy was limited, the community was able to distance itself through immigration, cross-border religious ties, and smuggling. Glovsky’s analysis of the history of Medina Gounass offers a case study for the multiplicity of geographical and territorial entities in colonial and postcolonial Africa.

Quasimaps and stable pairs
Authors: Liu Henry 
Published: April 2021

AbstractWe prove an equivalence between the Bryan-Steinberg theory of$\pi $-stable pairs on$Y = \mathcal {A}_{m-1} \times \mathbb {C}$and the theory of quasimaps to$X = \text{Hilb}(\mathcal {A}_{m-1})$, in the form of an equality of K-theoretic equivariant vertices. In particular, the combinatorics of both vertices are described explicitly via box counting. Then we apply the equivalence to study the implications for sheaf-counting theories onYarising from 3D mirror symmetry for quasimaps toX, including the Donaldson-Thomas crepant resolution conjecture.
Consumer Stigma and the Reputation Trap Hypothesis: An In-Store Experiment with Colorado Wines
Authors: Costanigro Marco , Jablonski Becca B.R. 
Published: April 2021

AbstractWe conducted an in-store experiment to test the hypothesis that Colorado wines may suffer from reputational stigma. The context relates to marketing challenges faced by novel wine regions entering the competitive retail environment, even in a local context, and the possibility of being stuck in a “bad reputation trap.” Adopting a 2×2 design where we varied region of production (Colorado vs. California) and grape variety (familiar vs. unfamiliar), we administered a between-subject information treatment that revealed the origin of production to only half of the participants. We measured taste perceptions using Likert scales, and we elicited valuation via a multiple price listing. Our results are consistent with the presence of stigma against wines produced in Colorado. In the discussion, we draw from the literature on stigmatized markets to suggest plausible strategies to remove or avoid stigma. (JEL Classifications: L1, L15, Q1, Q13)
From “notable Syrians” to “ordinary Anatolians”: the politics of “normalization” and the experience of exile during World War I
Authors: Çiçek M. Talha 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThis article examines an important attempt at the political engineering undertaken in Syria during the Great War. It focuses on the experience of the Arabs exiled to Anatolia by Cemal Pasha to redesign Syrian society in line with the Committee of Union and Progress’ idea of empire, which imagined an authoritarian regime. The members of the Arabist parties were removed from Syria to eliminate their contemporaneous and future resistance to the emerging despotic regime. The article sets out to analyze what the exiles experienced in Anatolia using their memoirs in Arabic and the Ottoman documents describing their conditions in Anatolia, and to what extent the aims could be realized. It argues that the purpose was to put a politics of “normalization” into practice by depoliticizing the Arab notable families through “relocation” to Anatolia, although the resistance of the exiles and varying attitudes in Ottoman bureaucracy significantly differentiated outcomes. It also uncovers many untold stories with regard to the daily life of the exiles and adds much to our knowledge on the experience of Arab exiles in Anatolia. It is the first serious examination of the experiences of the Arab exiles using their own texts and narrative.

Published: April 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the effects of nasal irrigation with sodium hyaluronate and surfactant solutions on mucociliary clearance time in patients with mild persistent allergic rhinitis.MethodsA total of 120 patients diagnosed with mild persistent allergic rhinitis were enrolled in this prospective study. The patients were allocated randomly to the surfactant, sodium hyaluronate or isotonic saline (as a control) nasal irrigation group. The mucociliary clearance times and improvements in mucociliary clearance times were compared.ResultsImprovements in mean mucociliary clearance time were significantly greater in the surfactant and sodium hyaluronate groups than in the control group (p < 0.01). The mean post-treatment mucociliary clearance time of the surfactant group was significantly lower than that of the control (p < 0.001) and sodium hyaluronate groups (p = 0.03).ConclusionSurfactant and sodium hyaluronate nasal irrigation solutions may both be used as adjunctive treatments for allergic rhinitis. Surfactant nasal irrigation resulted in better mucociliary clearance times.
