Published: December 2021

AbstractA series of fluorinated waterborne polyurethane (FWPU) with different fluorine contents were synthesized via a self‐emulsifying method from 100% renewably sourced poly(trimethylene ether) glycol and perfluoropolyether (PFPE). All the FWPU dispersions exhibited good storage stability with average particle size ranging from 65 to 85 nm. Compared with the neat WPU, the water contact angle of FWPU‐15 film was significantly increased to 100° when the PFPE content was 15 wt%, and the surface tension was reduced to 19.9 mN/m. The hydrophobicity of the FWPU films was further enhanced after being annealed at 140°C for 3 h due to the migration of fluorine‐containing segments to the surface as revealed by x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy analysis. With the introduction of PFPE in FWPU, the micro‐phase separation between hard and soft segments was increased. Meanwhile, the tensile strength, hardness, and modulus of the films were significantly enhanced. The FWPU films exhibited excellent water resistance (water absorption down to 4.8%) and coating properties. Overall, this work provides a new kind of bio‐based waterborne polyurethane materials with superior hydrophobic properties, which have potential applications in coating fields.

Published: December 2021

AbstractAimMutation occurs in the prostate cell genes, leading to abnormal prostate proliferation and ultimately cancer. Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common cancers amongst men, and its prevalence worldwide increases relative to men's age. About 16% of the world's cancers are the result of microbes in the human body. Impaired population balance of symbiosis microbes in the human reproductive system is linked to PC development.DiscussionWith the advent of metagenomics science, the genome sequence of the microbiota of the human body has been unveiled. Therefore, it is now possible to identify a higher range of microbiome changes in PC tissue via the Next Generation Technique, which will have positive consequences in personalized medicine. In this review, we intend to question the role of metagenomics studies in the diagnosis and treatment of PC.ConclusionThe microbial imbalance in the men's genital tract might have an effect on prostate health. Based on next‐generation sequencing‐generated data, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteriodetes are the nine frequent phyla detected in a PC sample, which might be involved in inducing mutation in the prostate cells that cause cancer.
When School Comes to Community: Considering the Socioethnic Environment in Educational Reform for Gypsy Populations in a French City
Authors: Giband David 
Published: December 2021

AbstractIn this paper, I explore the dynamics of an educational reform aimed at transforming individual and collective attitudes towards school among Gypsy/Roma families living in urban spaces of advanced social marginality. In Perpignan, Gypsy/Roma people are highly marginalized, living in a deprived urban environment (violence, unemployment, poor housing conditions, female-headed households, problematic night life) and following their cultural and customary rules and values. These play a crucial role in weak school performance. In 2005, city riots pushed municipal, community, and educational stakeholders to act. Policymakers implemented an experimental national policy in Perpignan from 2007 to 2015, in which they treated education as the cornerstone of necessary change. This public policy opened schools to their social and ethnic environment, as socioenvironmental settings were utilized as a performative tool for school achievement and success.
The Rise of Ultra Large Container Vessels: Implications for Seaport Systems and Environmental Considerations
Authors: Jungen Hendrik , Specht Patrick , Ovens Jakob , Lemper Burkhard 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe development of the global container fleet has followed a clear trend towards ever larger ships over the last 25 years. Particularly striking in this regard is the rise of the dimensionally largest ships, the so-called Ultra Large Container Vessels or ULCVs that can no longer pass through the new locks of the Panama Canal. While recent events such as the six-day blockade of the Suez Canal by the Ever Given have revealed environmental and safety risks of deploying these vessels, even the scheduled and smooth operation generates a whole range of challenges, impacts and costs that come at the expense of external stakeholders. The article aims at identifying these external effects as related to seaport systems as well as environmental considerations by consolidating insights from the scientific and professional discourse.
Modeling Individualized Sustainable Last Mile Logistics

Published: December 2021

AbstractThe online grocery trade has received an additional boost from the Covid pandemic. The delivery of such purchases places particular demands on last mile logistics since consumers demand more and more individualized delivery options, e.g., regarding the delivery arrival or the type of transport. At the same time, many consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, so there is a need to examine further how this particular consumer behavior affects the sustainability of deliveries. This paper develops and presents a simulation model, which considers grocery delivery under different framework conditions. The examined scenarios show that a change in consumer behavior directly impacts last mile logistics systems, mainly by increasing the total number of orders and a slight reduction in emissions through improved vehicle utilization. Nevertheless, the results show that without sufficiently high utilization of delivery vehicles, shopping trips by private car may cause fewer emissions.
Semantic Digital Twins for Retail Logistics
Authors: Kümpel Michaela , Mueller Christian A. , Beetz Michael 
Published: December 2021

AbstractAs digitization advances, stationary retail is increasingly enabled to develop novel retail services aiming at enhancing efficiency of business processes ranging from in-store logistics to customer shopping experiences. In contrast to online stores, stationary retail digitization demands for an integration of various data like location information, product information, or semantic information in order to offer services such as customer shopping assistance, product placement recommendations, or robotic store assistance.We introduce the semantic Digital Twin (semDT) as a semantically enhanced virtual representation of a retail store environment, connecting a symbolic knowledge base with a scene graph. The ontology-based symbolic knowledge base incorporates various interchangeable knowledge sources, allowing for complex reasoning tasks that enhance daily processes in retail business. The scene graph provides a realistic 3D model of the store, which is enhanced with semantic information about the store, its shelf layout, and contained products. Thereby, the semDT knowledge base can be reasoned about and visualized and simulated in applications from web to robot systems. The semDT is demonstrated in three use cases showcasing disparate platforms interacting with the semDT: Optimization of product replenishment; customer support using AR applications; retail store visualization, and simulation in a virtual environment.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Objectives
Previous literature showed that the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is not equally comparable with that of the rarely used golden standard of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for detecting blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI) in trauma patients. However, advances in CTA technology may prove CTA to become equally accurate. This study investigated the diagnostic accuracy of CTA in detecting BCVI in comparison with DSA in trauma patients.

Methods
An electronic database search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. Summary estimates of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood, diagnostic odds ratio, and 95% confidence intervals were determined using a bivariate random-effects model.

Results
Of the 3293 studies identified, 9 met the inclusion criteria. Pooled sensitivity was 64% (95% CI, 53–74%) and specificity 95% (95% CI, 87–99%) The estimated positive likelihood ratio was 11.8 (95%, 5.6–24.9), with a negative likelihood ratio of 0.38 (95%, 0.30–0.49) and a diagnostic odds ratio of 31 (95%, 17–56).

Conclusion
CTA has reasonable specificity but low sensitivity when compared to DSA in diagnosing any BCVI. An increase in channels to 64 slices did not yield better sensitivity. There is a risk for underdiagnosis of BCVI when only using DSA to confirm CTA-positive cases, especially in those patients with low-grade injuries.

Key Points
• Low sensitivity and high specificity were seen in identifying BCVI with CTA as compared to DSA.
• Increased CTA detector channels (≤ 64) did not lead to higher sensitivity when detecting BCVI.
• The use of CTA instead of DSA may lead to underdiagnosis and, consequently, undertreatment of BCVI.

Published: December 2021

AbstractThe ability to infer intentions from observed behavior and predict actions based on this inference, known as intention attribution (IA), has been hypothesized to be impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The underlying neural processes, however, have not been conclusively determined. The aim of this study was to examine the neural signature of IA in children and adolescents with ASD, and to elucidate potential links to contextual updating processes using electroencephalography. Results did not indicate that IA or early contextual updating was impaired in ASD. However, there was evidence of aberrant processing of expectation violations in ASD, particularly if the expectation was based on IA. Results are discussed within the context of impaired predictive coding in ASD.
Should Criminal Law Mirror Moral Blameworthiness or Criminal Culpability? A Reply to Husak
Authors: Sarch Alexander 
Published: December 2021

AbstractIn Ignorance of Law, Doug Husak defends a version of legal moralism on which ‘we should recognize a presumption that the criminal law should…be based, on conform to, or mirror critical morality’. Here I explore whether substantive criminal law rules should directly mirror not moral blameworthiness, but a distinct legal notion of criminal culpability – akin to moral blameworthiness but refined for deployment in legal systems. Contra Husak, I argue that the criminal law departing from the moral ideal embodied in the standard of moral blameworthiness is not always to be regretted. After showing how criminal culpability might come apart from moral blameworthiness, I argue that my alternative to Husak’s view has practically interesting upshots. In particular, it allows us to resist Husak’s central conclusions about the exculpatory force of normative ignorance. There are good reasons for the criminal law to make certain charitable presumptions about citizens as competent agents, which the standard of moral blameworthiness needn’t similarly embody, and this calls into question Husak’s argument for the claim that normative ignorance exculpates.
Water and soil contaminated by arsenic: the use of microorganisms and plants in bioremediation

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Owing to their roles in the arsenic (As) biogeochemical cycle, microorganisms and plants offer significant potential for developing innovative biotechnological applications able to remediate As pollutions. This possible use in bioremediation processes and phytomanagement is based on their ability to catalyse various biotransformation reactions leading to, e.g. the precipitation, dissolution, and sequestration of As, stabilisation in the root zone and shoot As removal. On the one hand, genomic studies of microorganisms and their communities are useful in understanding their metabolic activities and their interaction with As. On the other hand, our knowledge of molecular mechanisms and fate of As in plants has been improved by laboratory and field experiments. Such studies pave new avenues for developing environmentally friendly bioprocessing options targeting As, which worldwide represents a major risk to many ecosystems and human health.
Optimal Plot Dimensions for Performance Testing of Hybrid Potato in the Field

Published: December 2021

AbstractField trials to evaluate the performance of new varieties are an essential component of potato breeding. Besides the genetic differences, environmental factors can lead to variation in a trial. In variety trials, the observed differences amongst varieties should reflect genetic differences, without a large impact of the random or systematic variation in the field. One way to reduce within-field variation is to adjust the plot size and its shape in a trial. Two years of field trials in which individual plants in 90-plant plots of both diploid hybrid and tetraploid varieties were measured provided data to derive relationships between LSD% and plot size and shape. We provide a method to estimate the equations to calculate the expected variation when using different plot dimensions in a relatively homogeneous trial field for tuber yield, tuber volume, tuber count, tuber shape and the standard deviations of tuber volume and shape. Compared with the yield traits, the variation for tuber shape was relatively small. The effect of plot shape was minor. With these equations, breeders can determine what plot dimensions are needed to reach the desired precision for each trait.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Duplex stainless steels are a group of widely used stainless steels, because of their attractive combination of strength and corrosion resistance. However, these steels embrittle because of a phase separation phenomenon in the ferrite phase when exposed to temperatures within the miscibility gap. This manuscript investigates the phase separation in two commercial stainless steels, the duplex stainless steel (DSS) 22Cr-5Ni (2205 or UNS S32205), and the super-duplex stainless steel (SDSS) 25Cr-7Ni (2507 or UNS S32750), and its subsequent effect on mechanical property evolution. Long-term isothermal aging heat treatments were carried out at industrially relevant temperatures between 250 °C and 350 °C for up to 48,000 hours, and quantitative measurements of the amplitude and wavelength of the phase separated nanostructure were obtained using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). These quantifications were used as input parameters in hardness models to predict the hardness evolution. It is concluded that the quantitative information from SANS combined with these hardness models enables the prediction of hardness evolution in DSS at low temperatures, which in turn correlates with the embrittlement of the DSS.
18S and ITS2 rDNA sequence-structure phylogeny of Prototheca (Chlorophyta, Trebouxiophyceae)
Authors: Plieger Tanja , Wolf Matthias 
Published: December 2021

AbstractProtothecosis is an infectious disease caused by organisms currently classified within the green algal genus Prototheca. The disease can manifest as cutaneous lesions, olecranon bursitis or disseminated or systemic infections in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients. Concerning diagnostics, taxonomic validity is important. Prototheca, closely related to the Chlorella species complex, is known to be polyphyletic, branching with Auxenochlorella and Helicosporidium. The phylogeny of Prototheca was discussed and revisited several times in the last decade; new species have been described. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and partial mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) sequence data. In this work we use Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) as well as 18S rDNA data. However, for the first time, we reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of Prototheca using primary sequence and RNA secondary structure information simultaneously, a concept shown to increase robustness and accuracy of phylogenetic tree estimation. Using encoded sequence-structure data, Neighbor-Joining, Maximum-Parsimony and Maximum-Likelihood methods yielded well-supported trees in agreement with other trees calculated on rDNA; but differ in several aspects from trees using cytb as a phylogenetic marker. ITS2 secondary structures of Prototheca sequences are in agreement with the well-known common core structure of eukaryotes but show unusual differences in their helix lengths. An elongation of the fourth helix of some species seems to have occurred independently in the course of evolution.
A Study Space Analysis of Interpretation Service Needs and Optimisation
Authors: Amurun Oghene-Ovoh Tyson 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe paper reports a study space analysis (SSA) of 117 published investigations of the need for interpretation services and approaches to their optimisation. The study explores literature on the adequacy and ecological validity of interpretation service and interpretation optimisation. Research on rapport building appears to be the most investigated issue. Studies on interpretation services need and planning are infrequently researched, and there exist little or no study investigating police diversity effects on interpretation service needs and the planning effects. Studies investigating cognitive load, language, and gender effects on interpreting accuracy are sparse, with most research effort concentrated in conference interpreting settings.
In vitro assessment of histamine and lactate production by a multi-strain synbiotic
Authors: Stuivenberg Gerrit , Daisley Brendan , Akouris Polycronis , Reid Gregor 
Published: December 2021

AbstractRecent studies suggest histamine and d-lactate may negatively impact host health. As excess histamine is deleterious to the host, the identification of bacterial producers has contributed to concerns over the consumption of probiotics or live microorganisms in fermented food items. Some probiotic products have been suspected of inducing d-lactic-acidosis; an illness associated with neurocognitive symptoms such as ataxia. The goals of the present study were to test the in vitro production of histamine and d-lactate by a 24-strain daily synbiotic and to outline methods that others can use to test for their production. Using enzymatic based assays, no significant production of histamine was observed compared to controls (P > 0.05), while d-lactate production was comparable to a commercially available probiotic with no associated health risk. These assays provide a means to add to the safety profile of synbiotic and probiotic products.
Challenges in Using Recommended Quality of Life Measures to Assess Fluctuating Health: A Think-Aloud Study to Understand How Recall and Timing of Assessment Influence Patient Responses
Authors: Sanghera Sabina , Walther Axel , Peters Tim J. , Coast Joanna 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Background
It can be challenging to measure quality of life to calculate quality-adjusted life-years in recurrent fluctuating health states, as quality of life can constantly change. It is not clear how patients who experience fluctuations complete measures and how assessment timing and recall influence responses.

Objective
We aimed to understand how patients with fluctuating health complete widely recommended and commonly used measures (EQ-5D-5L, EORTC QLQ-C30 and SF-12) and the extent to which the recall period (‘health today’, ‘past week’ and ‘past 4 weeks’) and timing of assessment influence the way that patients complete these questionnaires.

Methods
Twenty-four adult patients undergoing chemotherapy for urological, gynaecological or bowel cancers in the UK participated in think-aloud interviews, while completing the measures, completed a pictorial task illustrating how quality of life changed during the chemotherapy cycle and took part in semi-structured interviews. Transcripts were analysed using constant comparison.

Results
Patients were consistent in describing their quality of life as changing considerably throughout a chemotherapy cycle. The shorter recall period of ‘health today’ does not adequately represent patients’ quality of life because of fluctuations, patients remarked they could give a different answer depending on the timing of assessment, and many struggled to combine the “ups and downs” to answer measures with longer recall (‘past week’ and ‘past 4 weeks’). Across all measures, patients attempted to provide averages, adopt the peak-end rule or focus on the best part of their experience. Patients commonly used more than one approach when completing a given questionnaire as well as across questionnaires.

Conclusions
Patients who experience recurrent fluctuations in health are unable to provide meaningful responses about their quality of life when completing quality-of-life measures due to the recall period and timing of assessment. The use of such responses to calculate health state values in economic evaluations to inform resource allocation decisions in fluctuating conditions must be questioned.
The Future on Love and Business Organizing. An Agenda for Growth and Affirmation of People and the Environment (AGAPE)
Authors: Hummels Harry , Lee Matthew T. , Nullens Patrick , Ruffini Renato , Hancock Jennifer 
Published: December 2021

AbstractBusiness and love appear to have little to do with each other. We hold the opposite to be true if the concept of love in business draws from two corresponding grammars. This paper contributes to the ‘agenda for growth and affirmation of people and the environment’ (agape) in business. By focusing on the grammars of love and business we operationalize the concept of love in ways that business executives, managers and employees can understand, adopt, and implement. With references to the theory and practice of management and organizations, we aim to contribute to expanding the theory and practice of responsible organizations and their leaders caring for others.
