Politische Urteilsbildung im Kontext einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung
Authors: Jansen Annegret 
Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungDie Fähigkeit zur politischen Urteilsbildung stellt das Fundament einer demokratischen Gesellschaft und eine zentrale Voraussetzung zur Bewältigung der Klimakrise dar. Die Schärfung eines entsprechenden Problembewusstseins sowie die Befähigung zur Beteiligung der Bürger*innen an einem umfassenden und konflikthaften gesamtgesellschaftlichen Transformationsprozess ist insofern essenziell, gar existenziell. Urteilen ist jedoch angesichts der Komplexität der nachhaltigkeitsbezogenen Problemstellungen ein notwendigerweise prekäres Unterfangen (siehe Abschn. 2.4), welches auch die politische Bildungspraxis in der Schule herausfordert. Dieses Kapitel zur politischen Urteilsbildung gibt einen Überblick über theoretische Grundlagen, fachdidaktische Überlegungen zu ihrer Förderung und empirische Befunde, die für den Kontext komplexer Problemstellungen einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung relevant sind.
Overcoming Iota: A Reflection on Old Providence and Santa Catalina Cultural Resilience In the Face of Disaster and Climate Change
Authors: Márquez-Pérez Ana Isabel 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn November 2020, category 4 Hurricane Iota devastated Old Providence and Santa Catalina (OPSC), small islands located in the Colombian Western Caribbean and home of the Raizal people, an African-descendent ethnic group bearing their own culture and language. Despite the chaotic governmental response, the local community has responded to the situation by adapting and reorganizing their ways of life. In this chapter, I present a reflection on how OPSC people have used culture in different ways to prepare, adapt, and resist during the disaster and post-disaster periods, in the context of increasing climate change, creating new ways to relate to their islands and community that play an important role in their future. To do this, I use some concepts drawn from cultural perspectives on disasters, climate change, and resilience. As I will try to show, the OPSC community has demonstrated a strong cultural resilience through its capacity to recover and its ability to learn from experience and adapt to new situations. This is not an easy process, as the current context exacerbates vulnerabilities. However, cultural resilience and community processes are a source of hope for islanders to continue to inhabit their land and seascapes with well-being and autonomy.
CP-odd effects at NLO in SMEFT WH and ZH production
Authors: Rossia Alejo N. , Vryonidou Eleni 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
CP-violation (CPV) is a rare phenomenon in the Standard Model whilst there is compelling indirect evidence for additional CPV sources in the Universe. The search for CPV effects at the LHC is thus one of the best-motivated precision tests of the Standard Model (SM) and an excellent probe of New Physics. NLO QCD corrections can affect the predictions for those measurements substantially. We study the impact of NLO QCD corrections in WH and ZH production in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory with bosonic CP-odd dimension-6 operators. We analyze the angular distributions at LO of those processes that can be used to probe CPV effects. We then show how NLO QCD effects modify those distributions. We encounter that the corrections have a clear angular dependence and differ between the SM, the dimension-6 squared and their interference, emphasising the need for an exact inclusion of NLO QCD in precision computations. We then perform a phenomenological analysis of WH production at the LHC to study the impact of NLO QCD effects on the projected bounds on the CP-odd Wilson Coefficient $$ {c}_{\varphi \overset{\sim }{W}} $$

Quantum phase transition of (1+1)-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model at finite density with tensor renormalization group
Authors: Luo Xiao , Kuramashi Yoshinobu 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We study the quantum phase transition of the (1+1)-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model at finite density using the tensor renormalization group method. This model suffers from the sign problem, which has prevented us from investigating the properties of the phase transition. We investigate the properties of the phase transition by changing the chemical potential μ at a fixed coupling of β. We determine the transition point μc and the critical exponent ν from the μ dependence of the number density in the thermodynamic limit. The dynamical critical exponent z is also extracted from the scaling behavior of the temporal correlation length as a function of μ.

AbstractAverage chemical composition data can be effectively exploited in provenance, i.e. raw material’s origin, research of archaeological polished stone artefacts where direct correlation with potential raw materials is possible. This study summarizes the success of Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) method on two different levels of chemical data interpretation for variable rock types found in Hungary, in the Carpathian Basin and their wider vicinity, i.e. material characterization and provenance identification level. Characterization of different lithologies is possible by variable combinations of some major element oxides (Si, Mg, Ca, Na, K, Al, Fe and Ti). Applying statistical methods, boxplots and Principal Component Analysis, we proved that serpentinites, nephrites and Mg-Si-rich subgroup of ‘white stones’ can be clearly distinguished, while the ‘green stone’ category cannot be further differentiated, partly overlaps with hornfels and significantly overlaps with other rock types (basalts, metadolerites-metagabbros, andesites and metavolcanites). The provenance identification is successful in the case of contact metabasites and HP metaophiolites, while less exact for nephrites, basalts and hornfels.The non-destructive PGAA proved to be very effective in the identification of certain lithologies, while for other polished stone tool raw materials it has medium certainty and requires complementing methods.

Abstract

Purpose
Overproduction of the intrinsic chromosomally-encoded AmpC β-lactamase is one of the main mechanisms responsible for broad-spectrum β-lactam resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Our study aimed to evaluate the in-vitro activity of anti-pseudomonal β-lactam molecules associated with the recently-developed and commercially-available β-lactamase inhibitors, namely avibactam, relebactam and vaborbactam, against P. aeruginosa isolates overproducing their AmpC.

Methods
MIC values of ceftazidime, cefepime, meropenem, imipenem and ceftolozane with or without β-lactam inhibitor were determined for 50 AmpC-overproducing P. aeruginosa clinical isolates. MIC breakpoints for resistance were retained at 8 mg/L for β-lactams and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations containing ceftazidime, cefepime and meropenem, while 4 mg/L was used for those containing imipenem and ceftolozane. The concentration of all β-lactamases inhibitors was fixed at 4 mg/L, except for vaborbactam (8 mg/L).

Results
The rates of isolates not being resistant to ceftazidime, cefepime, meropenem, imipenem and ceftolozane were found at 12%, 22%, 34%, 8% and 74%, respectively. When combined with avibactam, those rates increased to 60%, 62%, 60%, 46%, and 80%, respectively. The highest rates were found with relebactam-based combinations, being 76%, 64%, 66%, 76% and 84%, respectively. By contrast, associations with vaborbactam did not lead to significantly increased “non-resistance” rates.

Conclusion
Our results showed that all combinations including relebactam led to higher “non-resistance” rates against AmpC-overproducing P. aeruginosa clinical isolates. The best activity was achieved by combining ceftolozane and relebactam, that might therefore be considered as an excellent clinical alternative against AmpC overproducers.
Laser-assisted Icon and clinpro for restoring white spot lesions: an in vitro comparative study
Authors: Mohamed Yomna Said , Shamel Mohamed , Banna Sara El 
Published: November 2024

AbstractManaging white spot lesions (WSLs) remains a challenging issue that has yet to be fully resolved. WSLs are areas of demineralized enamel that most commonly occur following orthodontic treatments. They can potentially lead to enamel caries and are also esthetically undesirable. The current study investigated and analyzed the effects of Icon resin infiltration (Icon) and Clinpro XT varnish (Clinpro), both alone and in combination with a diode laser, on the restoration of WSLs. Color change, microhardness, and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the WSLs after the different treatment applications. Results showed that the combination of Icon and Clinpro, along with a diode laser, enhanced color stability and restoration of enamel hardness in white spot lesions. Utilizing a diode laser significantly improved the efficacy of both Icon and Clinpro therapies. SEM examination verified that laser-assisted treatments resulted in almost total blockage of enamel rods, indicating enhanced effectiveness. Conclusions: Integrating diode laser treatment with Icon and Clinpro XT Varnish has significantly improved the esthetic outcomes and mechanical properties of treated enamel.
The interpretation-use argument– the essential ingredient for high quality assessment design and validation
Authors: Raymond Jacqueline , Dai David Wei , McAllister Sue 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThere is increasing interest in health professions education (HPE) in applying argument-based validity approaches, such as Kane’s, to assessment design. The critical first step in employing Kane’s approach is to specify the interpretation-use argument (IUA). However, in the HPE literature, this step is often poorly articulated. This article provides guidance on developing the IUA using a worked example involving a workplace performance assessment tool. In developing the IUA, we have drawn inspiration from approaches used in the discipline of language assessment to situate the inferences, warrants and assumptions in the context of the assessment tool. The worked example makes use of Toulmin’s model of informal logic/argumentation as a framework to structure the IUA and presents Toulmin diagrams for each inference such that the reader can connect the argument chain together. We also present several lessons learned so the reader can understand the issues we grappled with in developing the IUA. A well laid out IUA allows the argument to be critiqued by others and provides a framework to guide collection of validity evidence, and therefore is an essential ingredient in the work of assessment design and validation.

AbstractOsteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor, primarily affecting children and young adults. For these young patients, the current treatment options for osteosarcoma impose considerable constraints on daily life with significant morbidity and a low survival rate. Despite ongoing research efforts, the 5-year survival rate of first-diagnosed patients without metastases has not changed in the past four decades. The demand for novel treatments is currently still unmet, in particular for effective second-line therapy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for advanced preclinical models and drug-testing platforms that take into account the complex disease characteristics, the high heterogeneity of the tumour and the interactions with the bone microenvironment. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview about state-of-the-art tissue-engineered and patient-specific models for osteosarcoma. These sophisticated platforms for advanced therapy trials aim to improve treatment outcomes for future patients by modelling the patient’s disease state in a more accurate and complex way, thus improving the quality of preclinical research studies.

Experience-guided, mixed-precision matrix multiplication with apache TVM for ARM processors
Authors: Castelló Adrián , Martínez Héctor , Catalán Sandra , Igual Francisco D. , Quintana-Ortí Enrique S. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractDeep learning (DL) generates new computational tasks that are different from those encountered in classical scientific applications. In particular, DL training and inference require general matrix multiplications (gemm) with matrix operands that are far from large and square as in other scientific fields. In addition, DL models gain arithmetic/storage complexity, and as a result, reduced precision via quantization is now mainstream for inferring DL models in edge devices. Automatic code generation addresses these new types of gemm by (1) improving portability between different hardware with only one base code; (2) supporting mixed and reduced precision; and (3) enabling auto-tuning methods that, given a base operation, perform a (costly) optimization search for the best schedule. In this paper, we rely on Apache TVM to generate an experience-guided gemm that provides performance competitive with the TVM auto-scheduler, while reducing tuning time by a factor of 48×.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe utilization of nutraceutical sources such as apple (Malus domestica Borkh) pomace powder (APP) could be a strategy to reduce the excessive disposal of this agro-waste in landfills and promote sustainable Jumbo quail (Coturnix sp.) production. However, the amount of the APP that can be included in Jumbo quail diets to achieve optimum production is unknown. This study evaluated the impact of including incremental levels of APP on performance metrics, haemato-biochemical parameters, and meat quality responses in Jumbo quail. A total of 350 Jumbo quail (7-day-old; 28.0 ± 0.817 g live weight) were weighed and randomly allotted to five dietary treatments, where each treatment had seven replicates with 10 birds each. The diets were formulated to contain 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 g/kg APP. Dietary APP induced negative quadratic effects (p < 0.05) on feed intake in weeks 2 and 3. Body weight gain and gain-to-feed ratio decreased linearly in weeks 2, 3, and 4, but quadratically responded to APP levels in week 5. Platelets, heterophils, lymphocytes, and serum phosphorus and calcium showed linear or quadratic responses (p < 0.05) as APP levels increased. Increasing levels of APP linearly (p < 0.05) reduced carcass performance and 24-hour breast meat redness and chroma values but increased 1-hour yellowness and 24-hour lightness. The inclusion of APP compromised growth and carcass performance in young growing Jumbo quail. However, feed efficiency and final body weight were maximized between 50 and 75 g APP levels/kg diet in five-week-old Jumbo quail without compromising blood and meat quality parameters.

Published: November 2024

AbstractWater splitting hinges crucially on the availability of electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction. The surface reconstruction has been widely observed in perovskite catalysts, and the reconstruction degree has been often correlated with the activity enhancement. Here, a systematic study on the roles of Fe substitution in activation of perovskite LaNiO3 is reported. The substituting Fe content influences both current change tendency and surface reconstruction degree. LaNi0.9Fe0.1O3 is found exhibiting a volcano-peak intrinsic activity in both pristine and reconstructed among all substituted perovskites in the LaNi1-xFexO3 (x = 0.00, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00) series. The reconstructed LaNi0.9Fe0.1O3 shows a higher intrinsic activity than most reported NiFe-based catalysts. Besides, density functional theory calculations reveal that Fe substitution can lower the O 2p level, which thus stabilize lattice oxygen in LaNi0.9Fe0.1O3 and ensure its long-term stability. Furthermore, it is vital interesting that activity of the reconstructed catalysts relied more on the surface chemistry rather than the reconstruction degree. The effect of Fe on the degree of surface reconstruction of the perovskite is decoupled from that on its activity enhancement after surface reconstruction. This finding showcases the importance to customize the surface chemistry of reconstructed catalysts for water oxidation.
Reflexion zur Gerechtigkeit bei Therapieentscheidungen

Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungDie beste medizinische Versorgung muss neben der Achtung des Rechts auf Autonomie, des Wohltuns-, und Nicht-Schadens-Prinzips auch dem Anspruch der Gerechtigkeit folgen. Ärztliche Entscheidungsfindung muss sich sowohl an der Verteilungsgerechtigkeit orientieren als auch am „ius suum“ der:des jeweiligen Patient:in, um eine Entscheidung im Sinne der „right care“ zu treffen. „Right care“ orientiert sich am größten Patient:innennutzen, der auf einem realistischen Therapieziel und einer daraus resultierenden individuellen Indikation basiert. Ärzt:innen entsprechen bei ihrer Entscheidungsfindung dem Prinzip der Gerechtigkeit, wenn sie Indikationen streng stellen, den individuellen Nutzen einer technisch möglichen Behandlung für die:den Patient:in bedenken und sich dabei an den Wünschen und Wertvorstellungen einer:eines Patient:in orientieren. Dadurch könnte ein großer Teil der heute stattfindenden Übertherapie und deren negative Folgen vermieden werden.
Five Year Review of All Examined Corneal Tissue in a Tertiary Eye Care Center: Demographics and Surgical Indications

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background
Corneal pathologies are among the most common reversible sight-threatening diseases globally. As such, corneal tissue transplantation (keratoplasty) techniques are evolving over time depending on the prevalence of different pathologies in each geographical area. We aim to provide a baseline information on the common keratoplasty procedures performed in our area in relation to prevalent corneal pathologies and to analyze common corneal surgical practice trends in our area. Other types of corneal tissue sampling (superficial keratectomy and corneal biopsy) indicated for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes are also included.

Methods
This is a retrospective cohort study. All corneal tissue specimens, including those harvested for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, received for histopathological examination at our center over a period of 5 years were collected along with the respective demographic data, clinical diagnoses, and surgical indications. Descriptive analysis was used to elucidate important conclusions, and comparative analysis was used to highlight differences between different types of keratoplasty specimens in relation to the surgical indications.

Results
A total of 347 patients’ corneal tissue specimens were included. Males accounted for 52.45%. Full-thickness corneal buttons were the most common (n = 172), followed by partial-thickness corneal specimens (n = 75), and Descemet’s membrane and endothelium samples (n = 63). Top surgical indications for keratoplasty were keratoconus (n = 149), followed by bullous keratopathy (n = 61), failed previous keratoplasty (n = 47), corneal ulceration (n = 33) and corneal dystrophies (n = 22). Patients undergoing penetrating or lamellar keratoplasty were significantly younger (p < 0.001). Superficial keratectomy and corneal biopsy for keratitis were significantly more common among male patients (p = 0.041), while failed endothelial keratoplasty was observed more among females (p = 0.026).

Conclusion
Our findings highlight the evolving landscape of corneal transplantation and the importance of tailoring surgical approaches to address the specific needs and risk profiles in different populations. Keratoconus is a leading cause for corneal grafting and seems to constitute a major treatable and visually disabling disease in Saudi Arabia, thus may require further screening and genetic studies with consideration for preventive measures.
Polynomial progressions in topological fields

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Let

$P_1, \ldots , P_m \in \mathbb {K}[\mathrm {y}]$

be polynomials with distinct degrees, no constant terms and coefficients in a general local field

$\mathbb {K}$

. We give a quantitative count of the number of polynomial progressions

$x, x+P_1(y), \ldots , x + P_m(y)$

lying in a set

$S\subseteq \mathbb {K}$

of positive density. The proof relies on a general

$L^{\infty }$

inverse theorem which is of independent interest. This inverse theorem implies a Sobolev improving estimate for multilinear polynomial averaging operators which in turn implies our quantitative estimate for polynomial progressions. This general Sobolev inequality has the potential to be applied in a number of problems in real, complex and p-adic analysis.
The Epistemic Fata Morgana: Appropriation in the Institutional Context
Authors: Kok Sara 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this article, I identify a conceptually distinct form of epistemic appropriation: the creation and proliferation of the epistemic fata morgana. An epistemic fata morgana is a hermeneutical resource that is hollowed out, stripped of its meaning and political power, and yet, posited as if it were still accessible. This resource is taken up by dominant knowers in a way that preserves only its perception, but not access to it. This process is illustrated by an examination of the resource “sexual harassment” within the university context. The epistemic fata morgana is an important addition to the field of epistemic injustice for it lends itself to highlighting the frustration that is felt by marginalized people, especially within institutional contexts.
