Published: May 2021

Abstract
Objective
To examine the effect of work-related stress and road noise exposure on self-rated sleep and potential additive interaction effects.

Methods
Sleep and predictor variables were surveyed within two subsamples with 2191 and 1764 working women in a cross-sectional study. Sleep was assessed using a single question on general sleep quality and four questions on specific sleep problems and subsequently dichotomized (poor sleep vs. no poor sleep). Work-related stress was operationalized by job strain and effort-reward imbalance. Nocturnal exposure to road traffic noise was assessed as (a) the orientation of the bedroom window to a quiet façade vs. a low-, medium- or high-trafficked street and (b) energy-equivalent sound pressure levels for night-time modelled at the most exposed façade (Lnight). We distinguished between low (< 45 dB(A)), medium (45–50 dB(A)) and high exposure (> 50 dB(A)).

Results
Poor sleep was associated with job strain and effort-reward imbalance. The prevalence of poor sleep did not increase with increasing Lnight, but bedroom window orientation showed a non-significant trend. A quiet façade had a protective effect on sleep in each Lnight category. We found a non-significant trend for an additive interaction between bedroom window orientation and job strain.

Conclusion
Noise levels modelled for the most exposed façade likely overestimate the actual exposure and thus may not be a precise predictor of poor sleep. Bedroom window orientation seems more relevant. Potential additive interaction effects between bedroom window orientation and job strain should be considered when interpreting epidemiological study results on noise-induced sleep disturbances.

AbstractIntraoperative neurophysiological monitoring of transcranial motor-evoked potentials (tcMEPs) may fail to produce a serviceable signal due to displacements by mass lesions. We hypothesize that navigated placement of stimulation electrodes yields superior potential quality for tcMEPs compared to the conventional 10–20 placement. We prospectively included patients undergoing elective cranial surgery with intraoperative monitoring of tcMEPs. In addition to electrode placement as per the 10–20 system, an electrode pair was placed at a location corresponding to the hand knob area of the primary motor cortex (M1) for every patient, localized by a navigation system during surgical setup. Twenty-five patients undergoing elective navigated surgery for intracranial tumors (n = 23; 92%) or vascular lesions (n = 2; 8%) under intraoperative monitoring of tcMEPs were included between June and August 2019 at our department. Stimulation and recording of tcMEPs was successful in every case for the navigated electrode pair, while stimulation by 10–20 electrodes did not yield baseline tcMEPs in two cases (8%) with anatomical displacement of the M1. While there was no significant difference between baseline amplitudes, mean potential quality decreased significantly by 88.3 µV (− 13.5%) for the 10–20 electrodes (p = 0.004) after durotomy, unlike for the navigated electrodes (− 28.6 µV [− 3.1%]; p = 0.055). For patients with an anatomically displaced M1, the navigated tcMEPs declined significantly less after durotomy (− 3.6% vs. 10–20: − 23.3%; p = 0.038). Navigated placement of tcMEP electrodes accounts for interindividual anatomical variance and pathological dislocation of the M1, yielding more consistent potentials and reliable potential quality.

Authors: Jia Cuiyu , Liu Guangxue , Wang Xinxin , Zhao Dawei , Li Ruili , Li Hongjun 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Purpose
To investigate and compare the CT and MRI features of hepatic sclerosed hemangioma (HSH) and sclerosing cavernous hemangioma (SCH).

Materials and methods
Twelve HSH cases and 36 SCH cases were included, the imaging findings on CT (9 HSH and 34 SCH) and MRI (8 HSH and 10 SCH) were analyzed. Qualitative image analysis included the location, size, shape, capsular retraction, density, calcification, signal intensity on T1-weighted image (T1WI) and T2-weighted image (T2WI), presence of diffusion restriction, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map, transient hepatic attenuation difference around the lesion, and the dynamic enhancement patterns.

Results
The presence of liver cirrhosis in patients with HSH (3/12) was higher than SCH (1/36) (P = 0.043). The morphology appearance before enhancement showed no significant difference between HSH and SCH. Moreover, SCH had a stronger trend of centripetal enhancement patterns of cavernous hemangiomas (83.3%) compared to HSH (25%) (P < 0.001). Due to more frequent atypical enhancement features, containing rim-like enhancement, no enhancement, and peripheral heterogeneous enhancement, the misdiagnosis rate of HSH (75%) was significantly higher than that of SCH (16.7%) (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the ADC values of HSH and SCH were both higher than that of the surrounding liver parenchyma (P = 0.009, P = 0.002); however, there was no significant difference in ADC values between themselves (P = 0.613).

Conclusion
SCH showed the same trend of centripetal enhancement characteristics as typical hemangioma, while HSH exhibited atypical enhancement features due to complete sclerosis. Higher ADC values might contribute to the identification of atypical HSH and SCH from malignancies.

ZusammenfassungIn diesem Beitrag in der Zeitschrift Gruppe. Interaktion. Organisation (GIO) werden die Entwicklung eines Modells interdisziplinärer Kompetenzen und zwei darauf aufbauende Messverfahren vorgestellt, nämlich ein Fragebogeninstrument für das Selbstkonzept interdisziplinärer Kompetenzen sowie ein simulationsorientierter Zugang. Interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit gilt als zukunftsweisend, um Innovationen an den Schnittstellen zwischen etablierten Disziplinen und Fachbereichen zu erzielen. Zugleich wird sie jedoch von den Beteiligten häufig als belastend empfunden. An dieser Stelle tragen interdisziplinäre Kompetenzen als individuelle Fähigkeiten und instrumentelle Verhaltensweisen zu erfolgreicher interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit bei. Das hier vorgestellte Modell interdisziplinärer Kompetenzen umfasst die Kompetenzdimensionen Initiative zum Austausch, Zielgruppenspezifische Kommunikation, Wissensintegration und Reflexion der eigenen Fachdisziplin. Die von uns konzipierte Skala zur Erfassung des Selbstkonzepts interdisziplinärer Kompetenzen kann unabhängig vom fachlichen Hintergrund der Stichprobe eingesetzt werden. Zur Reflexion des eigenen Verhaltens und als Ausgangspunkt für Entwicklungsmaßnahmen wird weiterhin ein Verhaltenssimulationsansatz vorgeschlagen, der im Vergleich jedoch einen deutlich höheren Personaleinsatz erfordert. Modell und diagnostische Zugänge ermöglichen es, im Zuge von Personalauswahl, -entwicklung und zur Evaluation der Zusammenarbeit in interdisziplinären Teams interdisziplinäre Kompetenzen von Individuen zu messen.
A Multiscale-Based Approach to Understand Dendrite Deflection in Continuously Cast Steel Slab Samples
Authors: SenGupta Arunava , Santillana Begoña , Sridhar Seetharaman , Auinger Michael 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Dendrite bending angle measurements were conducted along two different directions on four steel slab samples collected from a conventional caster. The primary dendrites growing at the slab surface showed a transition in their growth direction as the distance from the surface increased. Numerical fluid flow simulation showed changes in the flow directions that might have caused the change in the growth direction. The bending angle measurements were also correlated with the casting process parameters. Thereafter, a multiscale approach was adopted to predict the dendrite deflection angles by correlating the macro-scale flow profile with the micro-scale bending angle formulation and subsequently corroborated with the industrial scale measurements.

AbstractSeveral research and innovation initiatives have been pursued worldwide for the development of autonomous and unmanned ships. However, these ships’ wider adoption is limited by the existing regulatory framework, which presently does not provide clear guidelines and requirements for the design and operation of autonomous ships. The aim of this study is to comprehensively analyse the existing maritime safety and security regulatory framework including the national and international regulations for designing, building, testing and operating the unmanned next-generation inland waterways (IWW) vessel considered in the AUTOSHIP project operating in the Flemish inland waters. This study initiates with the identification of the regulatory bodies controlling the operation and testing of the investigated vessel and then identifies barriers in regulations where amendments or new developments are required. Subsequently, a strategy for overcoming these barriers is proposed. The main regulatory gaps that are identified include the requirements for navigation, emergency and environment protection functions, where new definitions are required for unmanned ship operations (e.g. master, crew, remote control centre). Moreover, some of the regulations explicitly specify the existence of crew on the ships for navigation, emergency and environment protection functions. A three-phase strategy is proposed to overcome the current regulatory barriers.
Multi-Dimensional Event Data in Graph Databases
Authors: Esser Stefan , Fahland Dirk 
Published: May 2021

AbstractProcess event data is usually stored either in a sequential process event log or in a relational database. While the sequential, single-dimensional nature of event logs aids querying for (sub)sequences of events based on temporal relations such as “directly/eventually-follows,” it does not support querying multi-dimensional event data of multiple related entities. Relational databases allow storing multi-dimensional event data, but existing query languages do not support querying for sequences or paths of events in terms of temporal relations. In this paper, we propose a general data model for multi-dimensional event data based on labeled property graphs that allows storing structural and temporal relations in a single, integrated graph-based data structure in a systematic way. We provide semantics for all concepts of our data model, and generic queries for modeling event data over multiple entities that interact synchronously and asynchronously. The queries allow for efficiently converting large real-life event data sets into our data model, and we provide 5 converted data sets for further research. We show that typical and advanced queries for retrieving and aggregating such multi-dimensional event data can be formulated and executed efficiently in the existing query language Cypher, giving rise to several new research questions. Specifically, aggregation queries on our data model enable process mining over multiple inter-related entities using off-the-shelf technology.
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Pregnancy and Prenatal Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Commonly Used in Personal Care Products

Published: May 2021

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) exposure during pregnancy is linked to adverse maternal and child health outcomes that are racially/ethnically disparate. Personal care products (PCP) are one source of EDCs where differences in racial/ethnic patterns of use exist. We assessed the literature for racial/ethnic disparities in pregnancy and prenatal PCP chemical exposures.

Recent Findings
Only 3 studies explicitly examined racial/ethnic disparities in pregnancy and prenatal exposure to PCP-associated EDCs. Fifty-three articles from 12 cohorts presented EDC concentrations stratified by race/ethnicity or among homogenous US minority populations. Studies reported on phthalates and phenols. Higher phthalate metabolites and paraben concentrations were observed for pregnant non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic women. Higher concentrations of benzophenone-3 were observed in non-Hispanic White women; results were inconsistent for triclosan.

Summary
This review highlights need for future research examining pregnancy and prenatal PCP-associated EDCs disparities to understand and reduce racial/ethnic disparities in maternal and child health.

Abstract
Purpose
To investigate the association between urinary complement proteins and renal outcome in biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy (DN).

Methods
Untargeted proteomic and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional analyses and targeted proteomic analysis using parallel reaction-monitoring (PRM)-mass spectrometry was performed to determine the abundance of urinary complement proteins in healthy controls, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, and patients with T2DM and biopsy-proven DN. The abundance of each urinary complement protein was individually included in Cox proportional hazards models for predicting progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Results
Untargeted proteomic and functional analysis using the KEGG showed that differentially expressed urinary proteins were primarily associated with the complement and coagulation cascades. Subsequent urinary complement proteins quantification using PRM showed that urinary abundances of C3, C9, and complement factor H (CFAH) correlated negatively with annual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline, while urinary abundances of C5, decay-accelerating factor (DAF), and CD59 correlated positively with annual rate of eGFR decline. Furthermore, higher urinary abundance of CFAH and lower urinary abundance of DAF were independently associated with greater risk of progression to ESRD. Urinary abundance of CFAH and DAF had a larger area under the curve (AUC) than that of eGFR, proteinuria, or any pathological parameter. Moreover, the model that included CFAH or DAF had a larger AUC than that with only clinical or pathological parameters.

Conclusion
Urinary abundance of complement proteins was significantly associated with ESRD in patients with T2DM and biopsy-proven DN, indicating that therapeutically targeting the complement pathway may alleviate progression of DN.
Decision support model with Pythagorean fuzzy preference relations and its application in financial early warnings
Authors: Wu Wenying , Ni Zhiwei , Jin Feifei , Li Ying , Song Juan 
Published: May 2021

AbstractPythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) retain the advantages of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), while PFSs portray 1.57 times more information than IFSs. In addition, Pythagorean fuzzy preference relations (PFPRs), as a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations (IFPRs), are more flexible and applicable. The objective of this paper is to propose a novel decision support model for solving group decision-making problems in a Pythagorean fuzzy environment. First, we define the concepts of ordered consistency and multiplicative consistency for PFPRs. Then, aiming at the group decision-making problem of multiple PFPRs, a consistency improving model is constructed to improve the consistency of group preference relations. Later, a consensus reaching model is developed to reach the degree of group consensus. Furthermore, a decision support model with PFPRs is established to derive the normalized weights and output the final result. Holding these features, this paper builds a decision support model with PFPRs based on multiplicative consistency and consensus. Finally, the described method is validated by an example of financial risk management, and it is concluded that the solvency of a company is an important indicator that affects the financial early warning system.
Extreme Demand Avoidance in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Refinement of a Caregiver-Report Measure
Authors: O’Nions Elizabeth , Happé Francesca , Viding Essi , Noens Ilse 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Objectives
Extreme/“pathological” demand avoidance (PDA) describes a presentation found in some children on the autism spectrum, characterized by obsessive resistance to everyday demands and requests. Demands often trigger avoidance behavior (e.g., distraction, excuses, withdrawal into role play). Pressure to comply can lead to escalation in emotional reactivity and behavior that challenges.

Methods
Previously, the Extreme Demand Avoidance Questionnaire (EDA-Q) was developed to quantify resemblance to clinical accounts of PDA from caregiver reports. The aim of this study was to refine the EDA-Q using principal components analysis (PCA) and item response theory (IRT) analysis on parent/caregiver-report data from 334 children with ASD aged 5–17 years.

Results
PCA and IRT analyses identified eight items that are discriminating indices of EDA traits, and behave similarly with respect to quantifying EDA irrespective of child age, gender, reported academic level, or reported independence in daily living activities. The “EDA-8” showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = .90) and convergent and divergent validity with other measures (some of which were only available for a subsample of 233 respondents). EDA-8 scores were not related to parental reports of ASD severity.

Conclusions
Inspection of the test information function suggests that the EDA-8 may be a useful tool to identify children on the autism spectrum who show an extreme response to demands, as a starting point for more in-depth assessment.
Identifying potential novel resistance to the foliar disease ‘Scald’ (Rhynchosporium commune) in a population of Scottish Bere barley landrace (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Published: May 2021

AbstractBarley ‘Scald’ is an economically damaging fungal disease that is a global problem, causing significant yield and economical losses in the UK barley feed and malting industries. Presently, a limited number of Rhynchosporium resistance genes exist, but selective pressures on the fungi cause the demand for new sources of resistance. Landraces, such as the Scottish Bere barley, hold potential sources of resistance that can be utilised, with farmers providing anecdotal evidence of resistance in field populations of Bere. This study analysed 131 heritage cultivars and landrace lines, including 37 Bere lines, to screen for resistance using both detached leaf assays (DLAs) and field experiments. Results showed that Bere lines produced smaller, but more necrotic, lesions for the majority of isolates in the DLAs, as well as smaller scores when visually assessed in field conditions. Whilst the infection patterns of the lines differed between isolates and experimental conditions, three Bere lines were identified as consistently showing reduced levels of infection (45 A 23, 58 A 36 Eday, and 8-125). Using genome-wide association analysis, we were able to identify a number of genomic regions associated with reduced infection symptoms, four in regions associated with known resistance genes, but another four associated with new regions that contain promising candidate genes. Further analysis of these new regions and candidate genes should be undertaken to identify targets for future disease-resistance breeding.

Published: May 2021

AbstractThis review discusses the dynamic mechanisms of misinformation creation and spreading used in social networks. It includes: (1) a conceptualization of misinformation and related terms, such as rumors and disinformation; (2) an analysis of the cognitive vulnerabilities that hinder the correction of the effects of an inaccurate narrative already assimilated; and (3) an interdisciplinary discussion on different strategies for coping with misinformation. The discussion encompasses journalistic, educational, governmental and computational viewpoints on the topic. The review also surveys how digital platforms handle misinformation and gives an outlook on opportunities to address it in light of the presented viewpoints.
Hybrid approaches coupling sol–gel and plasma for the deposition of oxide-based nanocomposite thin films: a review

Published: May 2021

AbstractIn view of developing new materials with enhanced properties, such as nanocomposite (NC) thin films, special interest has been given in optimizing the deposition processes themselves. The latter, if well selected, could give the freedom to control the NCs synthesis and final properties. Attempting to overcome severe challenges observed when creating NC or oxide-based NC film, hybrid approaches combining injection of colloidal solutions and plasma processes have been proposed. This review focuses on oxide-based NCs, using as an example the TiO2 NPs and SiO2 matrix as NCs, while investigating their optical and dielectric properties. Additionally, this review presents the state-of-the-art in processes for the preparation of the NCs. The major categories of hybrid approaches coupling sol–gel and plasma processes are given. Finally, a comparative study among the published works is provided, aiming in highlighting the impact that each approach has on the physical and chemical characteristics of the produced NCs.
