Regret, Self-regulatory Abilities, and Well-Being: Their Intricate Relationships
Authors: Sijtsema Jelle J. , Zeelenberg Marcel , Lindenberg Siegwart M. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractEmotions, like regret, have been heralded as instruments of self-regulation, by instigating reflection, learning and feedback for betterment and thus increasing well-being. Yet, this view neglects taking the frequency of regret into consideration. Frequently experiencing regret may instead be a sign of repeatedly failing to achieve betterment. Previous work has shown that people who experience regret often have lower life satisfaction. We suggest that, by itself, the reflective function of regret is not enough to lead to betterment. Rather, in addition to regret, self-regulatory abilities are needed. In the absence of these abilities, the reflective function of regret does not turn off but is likely to lead to frequent episodes of regret and turn into counter-productive rumination, reducing rather than increasing well-being. We tested these possibilities in two studies. In Study 1, reports were administered about regret frequency, self-regulatory abilities, and life satisfaction in 388 US adults (54.6% males;Mage = 35,SD = 10). In the preregistered Study 2, the same instruments were administered in a replication sample of 470 British adults (22.1% males;Mage = 36,SD = 12). In both studies, low self-regulatory abilities were associated with higher regret frequency, which in turn, was associated with poorer life satisfaction. Moreover, in both studies, the negative association between regret frequency and life satisfaction was explained by ruminative brooding styles. In sum, the positive reflective function of regret for well-being cannot stand alone, but needs self-regulatory abilities. Without these abilities, regret experience is frequent and its reflective function turns into brooding rumination that negatively affects well-being.

Abstract
Purpose
Traditional undergraduate radiographer training mixes academic lectures and clinical practice. Our goal is to bridge the current disconnection between theory and practice in a safe environment, avoiding the risk of radiation for both practitioners and patients. To this end, this research proposes a new software to teach diagnostic radiography using real-time interactive X-ray simulation and patient positioning.

Methods
The proposed medical simulator is composed of three main modules. A fast and accurate character animation technique is in charge of simulating the patient positioning phase and adapts their internal anatomy accordingly. gVirtualXRay is an open-source X-ray simulation library and generates the corresponding radiographs in real time. Finally, the courseware allows going through all the diagnostic radiology steps from the patient positioning and the machine configuration to the final image enhancing.

Results
A face and content validation study has been conducted; 18 radiology professionals were recruited to evaluate our software using a questionnaire. The results show that our tool is realistic in many ways (72% of the participants agreed that the simulations are visually realistic), useful (67%) and suitable (78%) for teaching X-ray radiography.

Conclusions
The proposed tool allows simulating the most relevant steps of the projectional radiography procedure. The virtual patient posing system and X-ray simulation module execute at interactive rates. These features enable the lectures to show their students the results of good and bad practices in a classroom environment, avoiding radiation risk.
Vibrational Microfeeding of Polymer and Metal Powders for Locally Graded Properties in Powder-Based Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Rothfelder R. , Lanzl L. , Selzam J. , Drummer D. , Schmidt M. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractSubject of this work is the contact mechanical properties and flowability of polymer and metal powders when they are dispensed on the surface of a powder bed for use in laser-based powder bed fusion in additive manufacturing. Generating local part properties in metal as well as polymer-based powder bed fusion processes is of high interest, so an approach is made to locally add additives by a vibrational microfeeding system for metal and polymer powders. To realize a controlled powder discharge, the behavior of additives, which are dropped on a surface and on a powder bed is analyzed. Influencing factors for mass flow of the powders will be excitation frequency, excitation amplitude and capillary diameter on the side of experimental setup as well as particle size distribution and physical properties on the material side.

AbstractCarney complex is a rare syndrome caused by a genetic mutation leading to multiple endocrine abnormalities and a variety of tumors. Here, we report a case of Carney complex diagnosed due to recurrent multiple myxomas in the right atrium of a patient 16 years after the resection of the primary left atrial myxoma. Surgical excision was performed for the multiple recurrent right atrial tumors under cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient remained complication-free after surgery and was discharged on the 14th day. He was scheduled to continue echocardiographic follow-up and periodic systemic review by an endocrinologist. This case emphasizes the fact that if cardiac myxomas tend to be multiple and recurrent at a relatively young age, the possibility of Carney complex should be considered, even in the absence of any other related feature other than cardiac tumors.

Published: October 2021

AbstractWhole genome duplications (WGDs) lead to polyploid specimens and are regarded as major drivers for speciation and diversification in plants. One prevalent problem when studying WGDs is that effects of polyploidization in ancient polyploids cannot be disentangled from the consequences of selective evolutionary forces. Cytotypic differences in distribution, phenotypic appearance and in response to surface elevation (determined by HOF-modeling) were identified in a relatively young taxa-group of a hexaploid F1-hybrid (Spartina× townsendii H. Groves & J. Groves, Poaceae) and its dodecaploid descendent (Spartina anglica C.E. Hubbard, Poaceae) using vegetation assessments (1029 plots; 1 × 1 m2) from the European Wadden Sea mainland salt marshes, including elevational and mean high tidal (MHT) data. While the F1-hybrid was mainly present in the eastern part of the Wadden Sea, its dodecaploid descendent occurred in the entire Wadden Sea area. The Spartina cytotypes differed in phenotypes (median of Spartina cover: hexaploid = 25% vs. dodecaploid = 12%) and in elevational niche-optimum (hexaploid = − 49.5 cm MHT vs. dodecaploid = 8.0 cm MHT). High ploidy levels correlated with establishment success in Spartina along geographic gradients but did not seem to increase the capacity to cope with abiotic severity downwards the elevational gradient in salt marshes.
Sensitivity of Estuaries to Compound Flooding
Authors: Harrison Lisa M. , Coulthard Tom J. , Robins Peter E. , Lewis Matthew J. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractFluvial and surge-tide extremes can occur synchronously resulting in compound flooding in estuaries, greatly intensifying the hazard. This flood risk has the potential to increase in the future as the frequency, phasing and/or intensity of these drivers change. Improved understanding of how extreme fluvial discharge and surge-tides interact will help inform future flood mitigation methodology. In this paper, therefore, we resolve for the first time intra-estuary sensitivities to fluvial and surge-tide extremes, for two contrasting UK estuaries (Humber and Dyfi). Model simulations at hyper-spatial resolution (< 50 m) using a 2D hydrodynamic model predicted compound flooding hazards based on: (1) present-day extreme events (worst on record); (2) present-day extreme events with shifted timings of the drivers to maximise flooding; and (3) modified drivers representing projected climate change. We found that in a small estuary with short-duration, high-intensity fluvial inputs (Dyfi), flood extent is sensitive to the relative timing of the fluvial and surge-tide drivers. In contrast, the relative timing of these drivers did not affect flooding in a larger estuary with a slower fluvial response to rainfall (Humber). In the Humber, extreme fluvial inputs during a compound hazard actually reduced maximum water depths in the outer estuary, compared with a surge-tide-only event. Projected future changes in these drivers by 2100 will increase compound flooding hazards: simulated sea-level rise scenarios predicted substantial and widespread flooding in both estuaries. However, projected increases in surge-tide behaved differently to sea-level rise of the same magnitude, resulting in a greater seawater influx and more flooding. Increased fluvial volumes were the weakest driver of estuarine flooding. In this paper we show how these interactions are complex and how the hydrodynamics vary considerably between different estuaries and sites within estuaries, making it difficult to generalise, use probabilistic or use 1D approaches for assessing compound flooding hazards. Hence, we contribute new knowledge and methods for catchment-to-coast impact modelling used for flood mitigation strategies.

AbstractWe aimed to evaluate the efficacy (short-term changes in surrogates of decongestion) and safety following the ambulatory administration of subcutaneous furosemide (SCF) in patients with WHF. Fifty-five ambulatory patients were treated with SCF administered by an elastomeric pump for at least 72 h. Surrogates of congestion were assessed at baseline, 72 h, and 30 days. Spot urinary sodium (uNa+) was assessed at baseline, 24-48-72 h, and 30 days. The median (IQI) of NT-proBNP and uNa+ at baseline was 5218 pg/mL (2856-10878) and 68±3 mmol/L, respectively. Following administration of SCF (median dose of 100 mg/daily), we found a sustained increase in uNa+ during the first 72 h of treatment compared to baseline, paralleled with evidence of decongestion at 72 h, and 30 days. No significant safety concerns were observed. SCF was an effective and safe diuretic strategy for outpatient congestion management.

ZusammenfassungIm Gesamtkontext der Haut als größtes Organ des Menschen mag das Nagelorgan unscheinbar erscheinen, dennoch hat es nicht nur eine herausragende Stellung als Indikator für Systemerkrankungen, sondern wird im Allgemeinen als ästhetisch überaus bedeutend wahrgenommen. Chirurgische Interventionen erfordern neben einer genauen Kenntnis der Anatomie und Physiologie Fingerspitzengefühl und Erfahrung, um das chirurgische Trauma so minimal wie möglich zu halten und irreversible Dystrophien zu vermeiden. Neben grundsätzlichen Maßnahmen rund um chirurgische Interventionen am Nagelorgan wird auf operative Eingriffe an der Nagelplatte, dem Nagelbett sowie der Nagelmatrix gesondert eingegangen.
Mortars and plasters—how to manage mortars and plasters conservation
Authors: Caroselli Marta , Ruffolo Silvestro A. , Piqué Francesca 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThe use of mortars and plasters has been widespread in many cultures for thousands of years and these materials are found in the vast majority of built cultural heritage. They play a crucial role in the preservation of immovable heritage and must be taken into great consideration when conserving historical buildings. Plasters and mortars have been extensively studied from a chemical and mineralogical point of view. The main causes and mechanisms of damage and deterioration are understood and various methods and materials have been developed for their preservation. Treatment development, testing and evaluation in the laboratory, under controlled conditions, has produced a high level of knowledge. However, there is a divergence between the results of academic-scientific studies and practice in the field. Laboratory studies typically tackle only a few variables at the time and the results cannot always be directly applied to address the complex problems that restorers face in their daily work practice. In addition, in situ conservation-restoration is extremely challenging because many of large number of variables involved cannot be controlled or modified. Following a description of the ideal “value-based” conservation process, this compilation work discusses aspects related to understanding deterioration mechanisms and planning of preventive and remedial interventions in a way that may be useful to update conservators-restorers on the status of scientific research in this field, and to guide conservation-scientists to identify unresolved issues, which require future research efforts.
Wall paintings through the ages: the roman period—Republic and early Empire
Authors: Salvadori Monica , Sbrolli Clelia 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis paper aims at presenting an overview of Roman wall painting production between late Republic and the early Empire. It will focus on the technique and style of in situ wall paintings from the Vesuvian area (Italy). Frescoes are indeed an integral part of architecture and reflect the patrons’ ambitions and social level as well as the craftsmen’s technical know-how. Since this is a handicraft product, the quality of materials, the craftsmen’s skills and the technique are fundamental to understand the fresco’s value and the message that the patron wished to communicate through the use of elaborate schemes, expensive colours or certain mythological themes.
A computerized facial approximation method for archaic humans based on dense facial soft tissue thickness depths

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Facial approximation (FA) is a common tool used to recreate the possible facial appearance of a deceased person based on the relationship between soft tissue and the skull. Although this technique has been primarily applied to modern humans in the realm of forensic science and archaeology, only a few studies have attempted to produce FAs for archaic humans. This study presented a computerized FA approach for archaic humans based on the assumption that the facial soft tissue thickness depths (FSTDs) of modern living humans are similar to those of archaic humans. Additionally, we employed geometric morphometrics (GM) to examine the geometric morphological variations between the approximated faces and modern human faces. Our method has been applied to the Jinniushan (JNS) 1 archaic human, which is one of the most important fossils of the Middle Pleistocene, dating back to approximately 260,000 BP. The overall shape of the approximated face has a relatively lower forehead and robust eyebrows; a protruding, wider, and elongated middle and upper face; and a broad and short nose. Results also indicate skull morphology and the distribution of FSTDs influence the approximated face. These experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can approximate a plausible and reproducible face of an archaic human.
Building heterogeneous ensembles by pooling homogeneous ensembles
Authors: Sabzevari Maryam , Martínez-Muñoz Gonzalo , Suárez Alberto 
Published: October 2021

AbstractHeterogeneous ensembles consist of predictors of different types, which are likely to have different biases. If these biases are complementary, the combination of their decisions is beneficial and could be superior to homogeneous ensembles. In this paper, a family of heterogeneous ensembles is built by pooling classifiers from M homogeneous ensembles of different types of size T. Depending on the fraction of base classifiers of each type, a particular heterogeneous combination in this family is represented by a point in a regular simplex in M dimensions. The M vertices of this simplex represent the different homogeneous ensembles. A displacement away from one of these vertices effects a smooth transformation of the corresponding homogeneous ensemble into a heterogeneous one. The optimal composition of such heterogeneous ensemble can be determined using cross-validation or, if bootstrap samples are used to build the individual classifiers, out-of-bag data. The proposed heterogeneous ensemble building strategy, composed of neural networks, SVMs, and random trees (i.e. from a standard random forest), is analyzed in a comprehensive empirical analysis and compared to a benchmark of other heterogeneous and homogeneous ensembles. The achieved results illustrate the gains that can be achieved by the proposed ensemble creation method with respect to both homogeneous ensembles and to the tested heterogeneous building strategy at a fraction of the training cost.

Abstract3D printing has provided a new prospective in the manufacturing of personalized medical implants, including fistulas for haemodialysis (HD). In the current study, an optimized fused modelling deposition (FDM) 3D printing method has been validated, for the first time, to obtain cylindrical shaped fistulas. Printing parameters were evaluated for the manufacturing of fistulas using blank and 0.25% curcumin-loaded filaments that were produced by hot melt extrusion (HME). Four different fistula types have been designed and characterized using a variety of physicochemical characterization methods. Each design was printed three times to demonstrate printing process accuracy considering outer and inner diameter, wall thickness, width, and length. A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) biocompatible elastomer was chosen, showing good mechanical properties with a high elastic modulus and maximum elongation, as well as stability at high temperatures with less than 0.8% of degradation at the range between 25 and 250 °C. Curcumin release profile has been evaluated in a saline buffer, obtaining a low release (12%) and demonstrating drug could continue release for a longer period, and for as long as grafts should remain in patient body. Possibility to produce drug-loaded grafts using one-step method as well as 3D printing process and TPU filaments containing curcumin printability has been demonstrated.

Emotional AI, Ethics, and Japanese Spice: Contributing Community, Wholeness, Sincerity, and Heart
Authors: McStay Andrew 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis paper assesses leading Japanese philosophical thought since the onset of Japan’s modernity: namely, from the Meiji Restoration (1868) onwards. It argues that there are lessons of global value for AI ethics to be found from examining leading Japanese philosophers of modernity and ethics (Yukichi Fukuzawa, Nishida Kitaro, Nishi Amane, and Watsuji Tetsurō), each of whom engaged closely with Western philosophical traditions. Turning to these philosophers allows us to advance from what are broadly individualistically and Western-oriented ethical debates regarding emergent technologies that function in relation to AI, by introducing notions of community, wholeness, sincerity, and heart. With reference to AI that pertains to profile, judge, learn, and interact with human emotion (emotional AI), this paper contends that (a) Japan itself may internally make better use of historic indigenous ethical thought, especially as it applies to question of data and relationships with technology; but also (b) that externally Western and global ethical discussion regarding emerging technologies will find valuable insights from Japan. The paper concludes by distilling from Japanese philosophers of modernity four ethical suggestions, or spices, in relation to emerging technological contexts for Japan’s national AI policies and international fora, such as standards development and global AI ethics policymaking.
Towards a high robust neural network via feature matching

Published: October 2021

AbstractImage classification systems have been found vulnerable to adversarial attack, which is imperceptible to human but can easily fool deep neural networks. Recent researches indicate that regularizing the network by introducing randomness could greatly improve the model’s robustness against adversarial attack, but the randomness module would normally involve complex calculations and numerous additional parameters and seriously affect the model performance on clean data. In this paper, we propose a feature matching module to regularize the network. Specifically, our model learns a feature vector for each category and imposes additional restrictions on image features. Then, the similarity between image features and category features is used as the basis for classification. Our method does not introduce any additional network parameters than undefended model and can be easily integrated into any neural network. Experiments on the CIFAR10 and SVHN datasets highlight that our proposed module can effectively improve both clean data and perturbed data accuracy in comparison with the state-of-the-art defense methods and outperform the L2P method by 6.3$$\%$$%, 24$$\%$$%on clean and perturbed data, respectively, using ResNet-V2(18) architecture.

Authors: Killus Dagmar , Gerick Julia 
Published: October 2021

ZusammenfassungSchulentwicklung kann als bewusste und systematische Gestaltung und Verbesserung schulischer Qualität an der Einzelschule aufgefasst werden. Angesichts dieser (Ideal-)Vorstellung richtet der Beitrag den Blick auf Ungewissheitsmomente in solchen Schulentwicklungsprozessen, die sich auf das Lernen mit digitalen Medien beziehen. Datenbasis bilden 20 Interviews mit Projektkoordinator/innen an Schulen unterschiedlicher Schulformen in Schleswig-Holstein. Mit Hilfe einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Bereiche von Schule eine Relevanz für Ungewissheit haben und wie sich diese Ungewissheit näher beschreiben lässt. Damit verbindet der Beitrag die beiden – bislang weitestgehend unabhängig voneinander verlaufenden – Diskurse zur Schulentwicklung und zur Ungewissheit und leistet einen empirisch fundierten Beitrag zur Spezifik von Ungewissheit in Schulentwicklungsprozessen. Schlussfolgerungen für die Schulentwicklungsforschung und die Gestaltung von Schulentwicklungsprozessen im Bereich des Lernens mit digitalen Medien (aber auch darüber hinaus) werden abschließend diskutiert.
