Does chronic ankle instability affect side-cutting in female soccer
players?
Authors: Takeuchi Shiki , Anan Masaya 
Published: November 2024

AbstractLateral ankle sprains have a high recurrence rate, often developing into chronic
ankle instability (CAI). CAI affects movement strategy during side-cutting
maneuvers, with inconsistent results in many studies. This study aimed to
clarify the characteristics of movement strategies during side-cutting maneuvers
in female soccer players with and without CAI. Thirteen female soccer players
with CAI and twelve healthy controls performed 10 successful trials of
side-cutting maneuvers in three directions (anterolateral, lateral, and
posterolateral) under unanticipated conditions. Compared to the control group,
the CAI group displayed an increased stance time in the lateral and
posterolateral side-cutting maneuvers (lateral: p=0.021, effect size=0.97,
posterolateral: p=0.014, effect size=1.00). In posterolateral side-cutting
maneuvers, the CAI group displayed a decreased posterior ground reaction force
at 19–30% and 42–54% of the entire stance phase compared with the control group
(p=0.001, effect size=1.30–1.42). Female soccer players with CAI may display
increased stance time to compensate for self-reported ankle instability and may
also exhibit decreased braking and propulsive force when side-cutting to sharper
angles. These observations suggest a hypothesis that could help in the
assessment of cutting maneuvers under unanticipated conditions after ankle
sprains.
Candidate withdrawal in the French 2024 national legislative elections
Authors: Mișcoiu Sergiu , Gherghina Sergiu 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn France’s 2024 legislative elections, two-thirds of the candidates who qualified for the runoff withdrew from the competition. The media argued that this was a deliberate strategy to reduce the radical right’s chances of winning an absolute majority of seats. This kind of strategic behavior is based on rationality and collective action that hardly covers the full range of possibilities. This article seeks to identify the reasons why candidates pulled out before the second round of the national legislative elections in France. Our analysis uses semi-structured interviews with candidates who withdrew and identifies several explanations for their decision: electoral tactics driven by coercion, the long-term prospects of profile-raising benefits, voter pressure, disaffection with the campaign content, and the personal examples of other candidates. These results indicate that the decision to leave the race involved rationality, responsiveness to public preferences, emotions, and a learning process.

Published: November 2024

This paper presents the damage characteristics of digital protective relays (DPR) in substations under high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) environments through radiated and conducted tests. Three representative substation circuits of DPR are selected, and the radiated and conducted experiments are performed. Through a comprehensive analysis of the radiated and conducted test results, the damage characteristics of DPRs under the HEMP environment are determined, including port coupling characteristics and vulnerability, respectively. The results can be summarized as follows: the current acquisition port and the power supply port demonstrate excellent surge protection capabilities, effectively suppressing both the peak and width of the surge voltage, which endure the maximum radiated field intensity level and injection voltage level without suffering damage. In contrast, the gas protection port of the gas protection circuit lacks the capability to suppress surge voltage peaks, resulting in a higher probability of port damage and experiencing unrecoverable damage at a radiated field intensity level of 50 kV/m and injection voltage levels of 20 and 30 kV. Overall, the results of radiated and conducted experiments provide references for DPR equipment protection and comprehensive substation protection.

Published: November 2024

Nano-positioning plays a very important role in applications such as scanning probe microscopy and optics. We report the development of a compact inertial nanopositioner along with fully computer interfaced electronics operating down to 2 K and its use in our fully automated needle-anvil type Point Contact Andreev Reflection (PCAR) apparatus. We also present the fully automated operational procedures using the LabVIEW interface with our home-built electronics. The point contact spectroscopy probe has been successfully used to perform PCAR measurements on elemental superconductors at low temperatures. The small footprint of our nanopositioner makes it ideally suited for incorporation in low temperature scanning probe microscopes and makes this design versatile for various research and industrial purposes.
Infrared Thermography: A Non-Invasive Way to Assess Animal Health and Productivity
Authors: Uddin Jashim 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Dairy cattle may experience stress and anxiety due to rough handling by humans, extreme weather conditions, change in feed, social grouping, transportation, and limited access to pasture. Stress is the body’s response to a threat, while anxiety is persistent stress that impacts physical and psychological health. Cows experiencing consistent stress or anxiety tend to eat less, produce less milk, have reproductive issues, change in milk composition, spend more time being vigilant and are more prone to illness and mortality. Infrared thermography (IRT) detects temperature changes in an animal’s body caused by stress or anxiety. It measures heat radiation emitted from the body’s surface using an infrared sensor from a distance. Studies have shown that IRT of the eyes has the potential to automate the assessment of cow health, monitor changes in milk composition, and differentiate between sick and healthy animals, unlike rectal temperature recording, behavioural assessment, and milk composition tests. IRT of the eyes was found to be repeatable and positively correlated with rectal temperature, unlike rectal temperature measurements, which were found to be non-reproducible. Further research and refinement of IRT of the eyes could improve automated cow health monitoring and management.

Is the private sector beginning to embrace the SDGs?
Authors: van der Waal Johannes W.H. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Businesses have increasingly engaged with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since their introduction in 2015. Now, halfway through the implementation period leading up to 2030, this article evaluates how and to what extent companies are engaging with the SDGs. It analyzes 348 scholarly articles indexed in the Scopus database that explicitly mention the SDGs along with business-related keywords in their titles. A concise bibliometric analysis highlights the most important articles in the field and traces its development over time. A keyword co-occurrence analysis reveals key research topics, including sustainability reporting (its determinants and nature), the design of multistakeholder partnerships, and corporate contributions through innovative business models, creativity, and technical innovation. SDG reporting is driven by concerns over legitimacy and stakeholder management, while institutional, cultural, and national factors also play a role. However, SDG reporting tends to be symbolic rather than substantive, with intentional efforts falling short of meaningful impact. The results of SDG partnerships are similarly unconvincing, and integrating development goals, human rights, and environmental standards has proven challenging. SDG-relevant innovation holds opportunities for business, such as in health and circular business models, but evidence of successful models remains scarce. It is essential for companies to move beyond communication and more strategically incorporate the SDGs into their core activities, while measuring the SDG-relevant impacts of such efforts. Only by doing so can SDGs be meaningfully integrated into core business practices and contribute to global sustainable development.
Association of Dietary Fats with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD): A Sustainable Decision
Authors: Alhouei Barbod , Ajami Marjan , Abdollahi Morteza , Doaei Saeid 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) account for almost 70% of deaths worldwide among non-communicable illnesses. The most common type of CVDs is ischemic heart disease (IHD). The Global Burden of Disease estimates that 126 million people are affected by IHD. This represents 1.72% of the world’s population. IHD may be avoided by practicing lifestyle management, including a balanced diet. One of the important components of a balanced diet is a precise fat choice. Based on our recent study, while other dietary fatty acids did not significantly increase the risk of IHD, it was discovered that healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may lower the risk of IHD. Increased DHA consumption in the diet may be suggested as a preventative measure against IHD episodes if the findings of this study are validated in further investigations. DHA is an integral part of the Mediterranean diet, primarily obtained through regular fish consumption, and contributes to the overall health benefits. The Mediterranean diet, a model of a sustainable diet by balancing factors and its holistic approach to sustainability, makes it a valuable pattern for promoting both human and planetary health.

Kerr geodesics in horizon-penetrating Kerr coordinates: description in terms of Weierstrass functions
Authors: Bakun Zuzanna , Łukanty Angelika , Untilova Anastasiia , Cieślik Adam , Mach Patryk 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We revisit the theory of timelike and null geodesics in the (extended) Kerr spacetime. This work is a sequel to a recent paper by Cieślik, Hackmann, and Mach, who applied the so-called Biermann–Weierstrass formula to integrate Kerr geodesic equations expressed in Boyer–Lindquist coordinates. We show that a formulation based on the Biermann–Weierstrass theorem can also be applied in horizon-penetrating Kerr coordinates, resulting in solutions that are smooth across Kerr horizons. Horizon-penetrating Kerr coordinates allow for an explicit continuation of timelike and null geodesics between appropriate regions of the maximal analytic extension of the Kerr spacetime. A part of this work is devoted to a graphic visualisation of such geodesics.
Displacement-controlled coining of large arrays of gold stud bumps
Authors: Ozturk Mehmet Halit , Yilmaz Mehmet 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
A novel, simple, and low-cost displacement-controlled coining (DCC) process is developed for the coining of gold stud bumps. A bottom mold made of aluminum, which contains an array of geometrically well-defined cavities (nests) with known and pre-defined depth values in each nest, is designed and manufactured to adjust areas of coined surfaces and heights of coined stud bumps during the sequential DCC processes. A double-side-polished and thick borosilicate glass substrate is used as a flat surface to be in direct contact with the tails of the stud bumps to be coined. Above the glass substrate, another thick and rigid mold is positioned to uniformly apply the displacement-controlled deformation force to the stud bumps via the polished surface of the glass substrate. With the proposed DCC process, the height and bonding surface area of the stud bumps can be tailored for flip-chip bonding (FCB) processes, especially when the maximum applicable force configuration of the FCB tool is limited (maximum of 20 N) during thermo-sonic flip-chip bonding (TSFCB) processing. The proposed technique can be used to simultaneously coin arrays of stud bumps with high precision, providing an alternative, cost-effective, precise, and time-efficient processing of stud bumps prior to TSFCB applications.
Twistocaloric effect versus elastocaloric effect in shape memory alloys for low-force mechanocaloric design

Abstract
The mechanocaloric effect refers to the reversible thermal effect under an external mechanical field and includes the elastocaloric effect (under the uniaxial stress field) and the twistocaloric effect (under the torsional stress field). In mechanocaloric designs, the elastocaloric effect has been the mainstream of the field with an emphasis on enhancing the performance of the elastocaloric materials and implementing them into elastocaloric systems. The twistocaloric effect has been recognized in materials implementation and exhibits the potential of miniaturized design. In this report, we compare the elastocaloric effect to the twistocaloric effect in the aspects of 1) superelastic behaviors including the critical transformation stress, transformation plateau, and transformation hysteresis, 2) reversible thermal behaviors, and 3) distribution of stress and temperature. We have provided the threshold of applied force for the twistocaloric effect under a combined set of strain and strain rates. Compared to the elastocaloric effect, the twistocaloric effect requires less force for the comparable temperature change and at a similar level of applied force generates a higher temperature change. To capture the distribution of the mechanical and thermal fields, we have conducted simulation and in-situ experiments to drive insights into the low-field activated transformation process in twistocaloric design compared to elastocaloric design. These results provide mechanical and thermal information on comparing the elastocaloric and twistocaloric effects and can facilitate the advanced mechanocaloric design for solid-state cooling technologies.
A UAV-based framework for quick recognition of pipeline defects
Authors: Ma Yinghan , Zhao Hong , Miao Xingyuan , Gao Boxuan , Song Fulin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based visual inspection is frequently employed for surface defect recognition. However, the recognition accuracy of UAVs is diminished by the presence of background interference and the small size of defects. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a novel framework that comprises an online image preprocessing module and the Pipe-MobileNet neural-network-based model. The preprocessing module aims to generate images without background interference, while the Pipe-MobileNet model incorporates a customized depthwise convolution operator that classifies convolution kernels, making it more efficient in defect classification. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a series of experiments was conducted on two realistic DN100 and DN200 pipelines. These results underscore the method’s marked improvements in recognition accuracy and computational efficiency.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Presented article is focused on the design of a suitable device for a simple demonstration of Lenz’s law of induction for theoretical and practical lessons in electromagnetism. Two simple experiments with the device are proposed as a way to demonstrate the basic principle. When designing the device and selecting the appropriate experiments, the emphasis is placed on simplicity and clarity. Another goal is to provide the device with suitable sensors and measuring system able to quickly obtain data from each ongoing experiment. Then the data should be easily uploaded and subsequently processed providing continuous information about the measured physical quantities. This requires a connection with a PC where the obtained data can be visualized in a graph for further ease of understanding.
Examination of factors affecting strain tolerance of multifilament MgB2 wires with Fe barrier

Published: November 2024

Abstract
There are two fabrication processes, the wind and react method and the react and wind method, that are used to manufacture magnesium diboride (MgB2) magnets. The react and wind method is more desirable to simplify the coil fabrication process, but the understanding of the strain tolerance of the sintered MgB2 wire is insufficient. Hence, this study focused on determining the main factors that contribute to the strain tolerance of the MgB2 wire with Fe barrier. It is generally thought that irreversible strain of sintered MgB2 wire is mainly determined from the residual strain of MgB2 filament, which is caused by the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion among MgB2 and metal sheaths. To estimate the residual strain of MgB2 wire, the effect of yielded material must be considered. We calculated the residual strain of each constituent material used in the ten filament MgB2 wire in which copper was yielded during the cooling process from sintering temperature to room temperature. The calculated residual strains of metal sheaths except copper were compared with yield strains, and whether they yield was confirmed. The estimated residual strain of the MgB2 filament was also compared with the experimentally obtained irreversible strain, and the difference in these strains suggests the strain tolerance of the MgB2 filament. By measuring the irreversible strains of the MgB2 with different sintering times but the same residual strain, it was confirmed that the effect of the mechanical strength of the MgB2 filament on the strain tolerance of the MgB2 wire is slight but certain.
Modified quantum regression theorem and consistency with Kubo-Martin-Schwinger condition
Authors: Khan Sakil , Agarwalla Bijay Kumar , Jain Sachin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We show that the long-time limit of the two-point correlation function obtained via the standard quantum regression theorem (QRT), a standard tool to compute correlation functions in open quantum systems, does not respect the Kubo–Martin–Schwinger equilibrium condition to the non-zero order of the system-bath coupling. We then follow the recently developed Heisenberg operator method for open quantum systems and by applying a ‘weak’ Markov approximation, derive a new modified version of the QRT that not only respects the KMS condition but further predicts exact answers for certain paradigmatic models in specific limits. We also show that in cases where the modified QRT does not match with exact answers, it always performs better than the standard QRT.
Spin relaxation in persistent spin textures
Authors: Dou Mingbo , Li Huinan , Tao L L 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Spin relaxation due to the combined diffuse scattering and spin–orbit coupling (SOC) plays a crucial role for the efficient spin transport, which is a prerequisite for spintronic devices. Here, we investigate the spin relaxation in two-dimensional systems with different types of SOC, with a particular focus on the SOC with persistent spin texture (PSO). Based on the Boltzmann transport theory, we calculate spin diffusion matrices within the framework of Dyakonov–Perel mechanism. In the uniform case, it is found that the in-plane and out-of-plane spin relaxations for all considered SOCs are independent. Interestingly, the in-plane spin relaxation for certain PSOs reveals significant anisotropy characterized by the infinite spin relaxation time for the spin oriented along the direction of spin–orbit field. In the non-uniform case, we show that there always exists the static solution for the PSO with SU(2) symmetry, which corresponds the persistent spin helix in real space. Our work is expected to enrich the fundamental understanding of spin relaxation mechanism and provide new guidelines to design spin–orbitronic devices.
Entropic partial orderings of quantum measurements
Authors: Teixidó-Bonfill Adam , Schindler Joseph , Šafránek Dominik 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We investigate four partial orderings on the space of quantum measurements (i.e. on POVMs or positive operator valued measures), describing four notions of coarse/fine-ness of measurement. These are the partial orderings induced by: (1) classical post-processing, (2) measured relative entropy, (3) observational entropy, and (4) linear relation of POVMs. The orderings form a hierarchy of implication, where e.g. post-processing relation implies all the others. We show that this hierarchy is strict for general POVMs, with examples showing that all four orderings are strictly inequivalent. Restricted to projective measurements, all are equivalent. Finally we show that observational entropy equality S

M
= S

N
(for all ρ) holds if and only if POVMs M ≡ N are post-processing equivalent, which shows that the first three orderings induce identical equivalence classes.
Interacting models of dark energy and dark matter in Einstein scalar Gauss Bonnet gravity

Abstract
We study the dynamics of the interacting models between the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) coupled scalar field and the dark matter fluid in a homogeneous and isotropic background. A key feature of GB coupling models is the varying speed of gravitational waves (GWs). We utilize recent constraints on the GW speed and conduct our analysis in two primary scenarios: model-dependent and model-independent. In the model-dependent scenario, where determining the GW speed requires a specific GB coupling functional form, we choose an exponential GB coupling. We adopt a dynamical system analysis to obtain the necessary constraints on the model parameters that describe different phases of the universe and produce a stable late-time accelerating solution following the GW constraint, and find that to satisfy all these constraints, fine-tuning of the free parameters involved in the models is often needed. In the model-independent scenario, the GW speed is fixed to one, and we construct the autonomous system to identify the late-time stable accelerating critical points. Furthermore, we adopt a Bayesian inference method using late-time observational data sets, including 31 data points from cosmic chronometer data (Hubble data) and 1701 data points from Pantheon+ and find that all the observational constraints can be satisfied without fine-tuning. In addition, we also utilize simulated binned Roman and LSST data to study the evolution of the universe in the model-independent scenario. We find that the model shows significant deviation at higher redshifts from ΛCDM and fits the current data much better than ΛCDM within the error bars.
