Heuristic assumptions
Authors: Fischhoff Baruch 
Published: October 2024

AbstractInterpreting any decision requires making auxiliary assumptions regarding how the decision makers viewed their options and related them to their lives. Theories constrain those assumptions. The more general the theory, the fewer constraints it imposes and the more assumptions must be made in any application. Like the rational actor models that they challenged, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky’s heuristics-and-biases and prospect theory research programs were general theories, with broad application. One of the many marvels of their landmark studies is that they rarely test their auxiliary assumptions. Rather, readers were trusted to agree about how people interpret the tasks (e.g., select anchors in studies of that heuristic). Subsequent studies have often accepted those interpretations in order to examine boundary conditions (e.g., extreme anchors). Applying the theories to naturally occurring tasks requires making additional auxiliary assumptions. This article illustrates three ways to evaluate those assumptions: direct assessment, systematic manipulation, and archival analysis. It concludes with proposals for loosely coordinated evaluation of shared and contested assumptions.
Electrochemical, surface, and theoretical investigations of palm kernel shell extract as an effective inhibitor for carbon-steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution
Authors: Sanni Omotayo , Ren Jianwei , Jen Tien-Chien 
Published: October 2024

AbstractHerein, we employed palm kernel shell extract (PKSE) as an eco-friendly inhibitor for carbon steel in acidic-induced corrosion. The corrosion inhibition of PKSE on carbon steel in 1 M HCI solution was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, weight loss, and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Moreover, the elastic modulus and hardness tests were conducted. Weight loss measurements revealed that the optimum concentration of inhibitors is 500 ppm with 95.3% inhibition efficiency in 1 M HCl solution. Electrochemical results showed that the inhibitor could exhibit excellent corrosion inhibition performance and displayed mixed-type inhibition. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis shows that the inhibition performance increases by increasing the concentration of PKSE. The surface studies ensure the PKSE effectiveness in carbon steel surface damage reduction. Also, the adsorption of PKSE molecules on the carbon steel surface occurs according to the Langmuir isotherm model. The primary goal of this investigation was the utilization of palm kernel shell extract as corrosion inhibitor for 1018 low carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution, which highlights its novelty. The present results will be helpful to uncover the versatile importance of palm kernel shell compounds in the corrosion inhibition process.

Abstract
Purpose
Dysphagia is the inability or difficulty to swallow normally. Standard procedures for diagnosing the exact disease are, among others, X-ray videofluoroscopy, manometry and impedance examinations, usually performed consecutively. In order to gain more insights, ongoing research is aiming to collect these different modalities at the same time, with the goal to present them in a joint visualization. One idea to create a combined view is the projection of the manometry and impedance values onto the right location in the X-ray images. This requires to identify the exact sensor locations in the images.

Methods
This work gives an overview of the challenges associated with the sensor detection task and proposes a robust approach to detect the sensors in X-ray image sequences, ultimately allowing to project the manometry and impedance values onto the right location in the images.

Results
The developed sensor detection approach is evaluated on a total of 14 sequences from different patients, achieving a F1-score of 86.36%. To demonstrate the robustness of the approach, another study is performed by adding different levels of noise to the images, with the performance of our sensor detection method only slightly decreasing in these scenarios. This robust sensor detection provides the basis to accurately project manometry and impedance values onto the images, allowing to create a multimodal visualization of the swallow process. The resulting visualizations are evaluated qualitatively by domain experts, indicating a great benefit of this proposed fused visualization approach.

Conclusion
Using our preprocessing and sensor detection method, we show that the sensor detection task can be successfully approached with high accuracy. This allows to create a novel, multimodal visualization of esophageal motility, helping to provide more insights into swallow disorders of patients.

Published: October 2024

AbstractLattice structures have great potential for several application fields ranging from medical and tissue engineering to aeronautical one. Their development is further speeded up by the continuing advances in additive manufacturing technologies that allow to overcome issues typical of standard processes and to propose tailored designs. However, the design of lattice structures is still challenging since their properties are considerably affected by numerous factors. The present paper aims to propose, discuss, and compare various modeling approaches to describe, understand, and predict the correlations between the mechanical properties and the void volume fraction of different types of lattice structures fabricated by fused deposition modeling 3D printing. Particularly, four approaches are proposed: (i) a simplified analytical model; (ii) a semi-empirical model combining analytical equations with experimental correction factors; (iii) an artificial neural network trained on experimental data; (iv) numerical simulations by finite element analyses. The comparison among the various approaches, and with experimental data, allows to identify the performances, advantages, and disadvantages of each approach, thus giving important guidelines for choosing the right design methodology based on the needs and available data.
Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to a case of pregnancy complicated by bilateral adrenocortical adenomas with primary aldosteronism and Cushing’s syndrome

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Aldosterone/cortisol co-secreting adenomas (A/CPA) are a rare type of primary aldosteronism(PA), and cases of aldosterone/cortisol co-secreting adenomas during pregnancy are extremely rare, with no reported cases to date. The unique physiological state of pregnancy increases cortisol secretion through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and leads to elevated levels of all components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This can cause overlapping symptoms with abnormal cortisol and aldosterone secretion, making diagnosis very challenging. This case involves a 29-year-old woman who developed hypercortisolism at 33 weeks of pregnancy. Despite receiving treatment for her symptoms and having a successful delivery, she continued to experience hypertension and hypokalaemia after giving birth. Eventually, she was diagnosed with ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome and primary aldosteronism due to independent cortisol and aldosterone secretion from bilateral adrenal adenomas. Following a thorough diagnosis, classification, treatment, and follow-up, the patient achieved a clinical cure while preserving normal adrenal function. Further investigation revealed that both diseases were caused by KCNJ5 and PRKACA mutations found in the bilateral adrenal adenomas.
The relationships between discrimination and academic help-seeking: the indirect effects of the impostor phenomenon among undergraduates students
Authors: Osborn Preston R. , Lopez Rachel , Stone-Sabali Steven 
Published: October 2024

AbstractAcademic help-seeking behaviors, such as asking peers or instructors to clarify academic topics, are important behaviors contributing to the academic success of college students. However, environmental factors such as experiences of discrimination (e.g., exclusion, being subjected to negative stereotypes) and individual psychological factors, such as the impostor phenomenon or feelings of intellectual incompetence, may dissuade students from seeking academic help. The current study utilized social cognitive theory as a guide to investigate the relationship between perceived discrimination and academic help-seeking attitudes, as well as the indirect role of the impostor phenomenon. Survey responses from 460 racially diverse undergraduates were analyzed using confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modeling. Results indicated that perceptions of discrimination directly and indirectly – via the impostor phenomenon – influenced academic help-seeking. Specifically, greater experiences of discrimination contributed to higher levels of the impostor phenomenon, which predicted more positive attitudes toward academic help-seeking. These findings demonstrate the influence of discrimination on academic help-seeking among a diverse sample of learners. Particularly, increased academic help-seeking may serve as a compensatory reaction to experiencing discrimination in an educational context. Implications for how institutions can better promote more equitable learning environments and theory-based interpretations of findings are discussed.
Think Big(ger)! Warum feministische Außenpolitik ein radikales Umdenken erfordert
Authors: Stengel Frank A. , Wibben Annick T. R. 
Published: October 2024

ZusammenfassungNach der Veröffentlichung der Leitlinien des Auswärtigen Amts 2023 ist die Debatte über feministische Außenpolitik schnell wieder ins Stocken geraten. Ein Grund dafür ist fortbestehende Unklarheit über die Kernelemente feministischer Politik. Dieser Beitrag ergänzt die in der Debatte vorherrschende liberale Perspektive durch eine poststrukturalistische. Dabei zeigt sich, dass eine konsequente feministische Außenpolitik ein deutlich radikaleres Umdenken erfordert als bisweilen angenommen.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Introduction
Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) receiving liver transplantation (LT) due to primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) have higher risk of developing colorectal cancers (CRC). Aim of this systematic review was to define the patients’ features, immunosuppressive management, and oncological outcomes of LT recipients with UC-PSC developing CRC.

Methods
Searches were conducted in PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane Library, Web of Science for all English articles published until September 2023. Inclusion criteria were original articles including patients specifying outcomes of interest. Primary endpoints comprised incidence of CRC, disease free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and cancer recurrence. Secondary endpoints were patient’s and tumor characteristics, graft function, immunosuppressive management and PSC recurrence. PROSPERO CRD42022369190.

Results
Fifteen studies included, 88 patients were identified. Patients (mean age: 50 years) had a long history of UC (20 years), mainly with active colitis (79%), and developed tumor within the first 3 years from LT, while receiving a double or triple immunosuppressive therapy. Cumulative incidence of tumor was 5.5%. At one, two and three years, DFS was 92%, 82% and 75%, while OS was 87%, 81% and 79% respectively. Disease progression rate was 15%. After CRC surgery, 94% of patients maintained a good graft functionality, with no reported cases of PSC recurrence.

Conclusions
After LT, patients with PSC and UC have an increased risk of CRC, especially in presence of long history of UC and active colitis. Surgical resection guarantees satisfactory mid-term oncological outcomes, but samples are limited, and long-term data are lacking. National and international registry are auspicial to evaluate long-term oncological outcomes and to optimize clinical management.

AbstractTo conserve or restore juvenile fish habitat, resource managers, restoration practitioners, and engineers need fine-scale information to understand what conditions they need to preserve or what specifications are needed to create new habitat. The objective of this study was to develop statistical models using a dataset of 18 coastal ponds in Southwest Florida, USA, to predict the abundance of juvenile common snook Centropomus undecimalis (hereafter snook) and presence of juvenile tarpon Megalops atlanticus, both of which are flagship species used for conservation and restoration of subtropical and tropical wetlands. Model predictors included water conditions and characteristics of vegetation, sediment, and geographic position. Modeling results indicated that juvenile snook used coastal ponds that were directly connected to tidal creeks. In contrast, juvenile tarpon were more likely to be present in coastal ponds that were separated from tidal creeks by dense mangrove forest (e.g., elevation > 0.48 m above Mean Low Water) characterized by highly organic sediment and low dissolved oxygen, to which tarpon are well adapted. Overlap between snook abundance and tarpon presence was greatest where connections between ponds and the nearest tidal creek were at a relatively low elevation (e.g., -0.12 m relative to Mean Low Water). Although these findings are most applicable to management and conservation of populations in areas along the Gulf coast of Florida (i.e., in areas of similar tidal range and coastal geomorphology), incorporating more detailed habitat surveys to better capture landscape context, geomorphology, and connectivity into fish sampling designs should be broadly applicable to estuarine fish ecology.
The Unproductive “Overconstitutionalization” of EU Copyright and Trademark Law – Fundamental Rights Rhetoric and Reality in CJEU Jurisprudence
Authors: Senftleben Martin 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn EU copyright and trademark law, the protection of the right to intellectual property is the rule, and breathing space for competing fundamental rights, such as freedom of expression and the right to a healthy environment, is the exception. While formally recognizing the need to balance protection interests against other fundamental rights and values, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) fails to use competing fundamental rights productively. Instead, the Court has developed a meaningless fundamental rights rhetoric that produces the false impression that there is sufficient room for all competing rights and interests within the existing copyright and trademark systems. However, the current configuration of EU copyright and trademark law fails to offer users the chance of meeting right holders as equals, even if their fundamental rights are of equal ranking in the Charter. By adding fundamental rights cosmetics to imbalanced protection systems, the CJEU only cements and further stabilizes the existing rule/exception edifice that is strongly in favour of right holders. Introducing the mantra of internal balancing – requiring the reconciliation of competing rights and interests within the confines of secondary copyright and trademark legislation – the Court has even created a considerable risk of sacrificing competing fundamental rights on the altar of the EU harmonization agenda. By letting the harmonization objective reign supreme, the CJEU has also given the three-step test in copyright law and the honest practices proviso in trademark law a quasi-constitutional status. As a result, these open-ended provisions undermine limitations of exclusive rights that could support competing fundamental rights. To remove the imbalances in current EU copyright and trademark law, it would be necessary to introduce upfront gatekeeper requirements that prevent illegitimate infringement claims from the outset when competing fundamental rights are at stake.

AbstractPreterm birth rates among Black individuals continue to be inequitably high in the USA. Black immigrants appear to have a preterm birth advantage over US-born counterparts. This national cross-sectional study of singleton non-Hispanic Black individuals in the USA from 2011 to 2018 aimed to investigate if the Black immigrant preterm birth advantage varied geographically and how this advantage associated with county-level social drivers of health. Generalized linear mixed models explored the odds of preterm birth (< 37 weeks) by birthing person’s nativity, defined as US- versus foreign-born. In county-level analyses, five measures were explored as possible sources of structural risk for or resilience against preterm birth: percent of residents in poverty, percent uninsured, percent with more than a high school education, percent foreign-born, and racial polarization. County-level immigrant advantage among foreign-born compared to US-born Black individuals was defined by a disparity rate ratio (RR); RR < 1 indicated a county-level immigrant preterm birth advantage. Linear regression models at the level of counties quantified associations between county-level factors and disparity RRs. Among 4,072,326 non-Hispanic Black birthing individuals, immigrants had 24% lower adjusted odds of preterm birth compared to US-born Black individuals (aOR 0.77, 95% CI 0.76–0.78). In county-level analyses, the immigrant advantage varied across counties; disparity RRs ranged from 0.13 to 2.82. County-level lack of health insurance and education greater than high school were both associated with immigrant preterm birth advantage. Future research should explore policies within counties that impact risk of preterm birth for both US-born and immigrant Black individuals.

Abstract

Purpose
The study aimed to present the results of a Delphi consensus involving Italian experts focusing on the management of hypophosphatemia in adults.

Methods
A multidisciplinary advisory board of nine physicians, experts in hypophosphatemia management, was established. Next, a literature search was performed to identify international guidelines, consensus, and clinical pathways, which were later presented to the advisory board. Collaboratively, the advisory board and authoring team selected key statements for the consensus process and focused on areas of uncertainty related to the management of hypophosphatemia. The advisory board also indicated the experts to be invited to participate in the consensus process. The Delphi method was employed to reach a consensus.

Results
The literature search yielded one guideline, five consensus documents, and one clinical pathway. While our search strategy aimed to identify documents on the management of all types of hypophosphatemia, most of the guidelines and consensus documents retrieved focused on X-linked hypophosphatemia. The consensus process focused on 11 key issues, achieving strong convergence (over 70% consensus) in the first Delphi round for 8 out of the 11 statements. Three statements proceeded to the second round, with strong agreement reached for two. Notably, consensus was not reached for the statement concerning the measurement of fibroblast growth factor 23 for diagnostic purposes.

Conclusion
The study revealed that the community of clinical experts is well-informed and in agreement regarding hypophosphatemia management. It emphasized the importance of developing clear national guidance documents to support clinicians and multidisciplinary teams in patient management. These documents are crucial not only for healthcare professionals but also for those responsible for defining pathways and services, facilitating a more accurate management of hypophosphatemic patients.

AbstractHalide perovskites have emerged as promising materials in high-performance optoelectronics due to their exceptional optoelectrical properties, such as long carrier lifetime and tunable bandgap. Despite the promising capabilities of three-dimensional (3D) halide perovskites in applications like solar cells and light-emitting diodes, their operational stability remains a critical challenge. This review focuses on quasi-two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites, which offer enhanced stability through their reduced dimensionality. We discuss the unique properties of these materials, including the ability to modify optical and electronic characteristics by altering the organic cations and the layer number in the perovskite structure. Additionally, we review various fabrication techniques, highlighting the shift from traditional low-temperature solution processes to more advanced solid, liquid, and vapor-phase methods, which address the limitations of conventional fabrication and enhance material quality. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the development of stable and efficient 2D halide perovskite-based optoelectronic devices, paving the way for their integration into next-generation optoelectronic applications.
