Inverse analysis of soil hydraulic parameters of layered soil profiles using physics‐informed neural networks with unsaturated water flow models
Authors: Oikawa Koki , Saito Hirotaka 
Published: August 2024

AbstractInformation about the spatial distribution of soil hydraulic parameters is necessary for the accurate prediction of soil water flow and the coupled movement of chemicals and heat at the field scale using a process‐based model. Physics‐informed neural networks (PINNs), which can provide physical constraints in deep learning to obtain a mesh‐free solution, can be used to inversely estimate soil hydraulic parameters from less and noisy training data. Previous studies using PINNs have successfully estimated soil hydraulic parameters for homogeneous soil but estimating such parameters of layered soil profiles where the interface depth and the parameters are unknown still has some difficulties. The objective of this study was to develop PINNs to inversely estimate the distribution of soil hydraulic parameters, such as saturated hydraulic conductivity and α and n of the Mualem–van Genuchten model directly within layered soil profiles by predicting changes in the pressure head from training data based on simulation results at given depths during infiltration. The impact of factors affecting PINNs performance, such as the weights assigned to each component of the loss function, time range used in error computations, and number of samples used to assess the physical constraint, was investigated. By assigning a larger weight to the physical constraint and excluding the earlier stage of infiltration in the loss function, the changes in the pressure head and the three soil hydraulic parameter distributions within the layered soil were successfully estimated. The developed PINNs can be further applied to more complex soils and can be improved.

AbstractThis study investigates the electrically conducting Maxwell fluid flow over a stretching sheet with the effects of homogeneous‐heterogeneous chemical reactions, thermal radiation, and melting heat. The nanomaterial characteristics are analyzed considering Brownian motion and thermophoresis (Buongiorno's model). Irreversibility analysis is conducted to assess entropy generation. The governing equations of the problem are transformed into dimensionless equations through appropriate similarity transformations. The graphical and tabular numerical solutions are attained through NDSolve via Mathematica. The study examines how various parameters affect the velocity, concentration, temperature, and entropy generation within the flow. This study provides insights into isothermal chemical processes which contribute to the optimization of industrial and engineering applications. It is seen that heterogeneous diffusion parameter increases molecular disorder and rate of irreversible processes, whereas homogeneous diffusion parameter shows opposite trend.
Consumers and Consumption
Authors: Hansen Henning Otte 
Published: August 2024

AbstractConsumers and consumption are different when it comes to food compared with many other products. Some very specific conditions apply to food consumers and food consumption. The role of income is relatively clear: The consumption of animal-based foods—of which meat accounts for a significant share—increases in line with economic income, while the consumption of vegetable products is almost constant. The share of vegetable-based food will decline in line with increasing income. However, vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians belong to a small but rapidly growing population group in major parts of the world. Convenience, including takeaway food, eating out and catering, is becoming increasingly important with regards to food demand. Market shares for discount stores are also increasing in many countries. The prevalence of the political consumer is increasing, also driven by increasing income.
Enhancement of ceramic tool behaviour with textured grooves during machining of Inconel® 718
Authors: Fernández-Lucio P. , Urbikain G. , Plaza S. , Ukar E. , Pereira O. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractInconel® 718, known for its excellent mechanical properties in extreme conditions, presents machining challenges due to its low machinability. The chip formation process, influenced by its high ductility and low thermal conductivity, leads to material adhesion and high cutting forces. Ceramic tools have been proposed to mitigate these inconveniences. Textured cutting tools have emerged as a promising solution, aiming to optimise tool-chip contact and, with it, the tribological conditions and the cutting forces. This study investigates the influence of textured grooves on ceramic tools when turning Inconel® 718. Two groove inclinations, 0° and − 25° relative to the cutting edge, were tested. Texturing was performed using a laser station. Experimental results showed improved tool wear characteristics with textured tools, indicating favourable chip extraction and reduced material adhesion. Cutting forces were notably lower with textured tools compared to the reference tool, attributed to reduced notch wear and altered chip flow. Chip morphology analysis revealed differences in chip shape and thermal stability between the reference and textured tools. In conclusion, textured tools, particularly those with − 25° inclined grooves, demonstrated enhanced performance in machining Inconel® 718.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Introduction
Hoffa’s fat pad is considered a source of anterior knee pain and may limit prosthetic knee function. Resection of Hoffa’s fat pad in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), however, is controversial, and little is known about the functional outcomes including gait quality. This double-blind randomized controlled trial (i) compared functional recovery between TKAs where Hoffa was resected or preserved, and (ii) compared recovery of self-reported function with objective (gait-related) outcomes.

Materials and methods
Eighty-five patients (age 66.4 ± 8.0 years, 47% women) scheduled to undergo TKA for primary osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to either fat pad resection or preservation. Subjective measures of functioning were assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 12 months postoperatively and included the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Kujala, and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Objective measures of functioning were assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 12 months postoperatively and included instrumented range-of-motion and gait analysis. Longitudinal analyses (generalized estimating equations) were used to compare recovery between groups, and chi-square tests compared attainment of minimal clinical important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS). Finally, correlation analyses explored associations between subjective and objective recovery in function.

Results
Resection patients showed poorer improvement in KOOS quality of life in the first 6 weeks (B=–10.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) [-18.91, -1.12], p = .027), but stronger improvement in knee extension after 3 months (B = 3.02, 95%CI [0.45, 5.60], p = .021) compared to preservation patients. Regarding MCID or PASS, no differences were noted between groups at 3 and 12 months (all p > .05). Subjective function substantially improved in the first 3 months, while objective outcomes improved only between 3 and 12 months. Moderate to strong correlations were identified between changes in knee flexion and gait with Kujala and KOOS in the resection but not in the preservation group.

Conclusions
Similar functional outcomes were achieved after TKA with or without resection of Hoffa’s fat pad. Hence, removing the fat pad to promote surgical exposure will not affect functional outcomes including gait quality. Functional recovery of objective outcomes was not always consistent with subjective recovery, suggesting that both self-reported as well as objective, gait-related outcomes may provide meaningful information on functional recovery following TKA.

Gefahren für die Autonomie durch gesundheitsbezogenes Self-Tracking
Authors: Hiekel Susanne 
Published: August 2024

Zusammenfassung
Das Self-Tracking – und natürlich auch das gesundheitsbezogene Self-Tracking – übt einen Einfluss auf diejenigen aus, die es betreiben. Dieser Einfluss kann (muss aber nicht notwendigerweise) eine Gefahr für die Autonomie der sich selbst trackenden Personen darstellen.
Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist nicht gering, dass das Self-Tracking mit einer der drei Bedingungen in Konflikt gerät, die nach Beauchamp, Faden und Childress für Autonomie anzusetzen ist: mit der Freiwilligkeitsbedingung. Auf der Grundlage einer Unterscheidung zwischen verschiedenen Formen von manipulierenden Einflüssen – leicht kontrollierenden und substanziell kontrollierenden – argumentiere ich dafür, dass das gesundheitsbezogene Self-Tracking häufig einen leicht kontrollierend manipulativen Einfluss hat, dass dieser aber auch das Ausmaß eines substanziell kontrollierend manipulativen Einflusses und sogar Formen des Zwangs annehmen kann.
Substantiell manipulierendes sowie Self-Tracking, das mit Zwang verbunden ist, stellt eine Verletzung der Freiwilligkeitsbedingung von Autonomie dar. Diese Gefahr einer Autonomieverletzung gilt es bei der Beurteilung von gesundheitsbezogenem Self-Tracking zu berücksichtigen.
Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie für Frauen mit Insomnie in den Wechseljahren
Authors: Ott Simona 
Published: August 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Insomnie ist eines der häufigsten Symptome bei Frauen während der Wechseljahre und beeinträchtigt Betroffene sehr.

Ziel der Arbeit
Ziel der Arbeit ist es, den Effekt kognitiver Verhaltenstherapie bei Insomnie (KVT-I) bei Frauen in der Peri- und Postmenopause zu untersuchen.

Material und Methoden
Es werden Studien berücksichtigt, die auf Ovid Medline und Google Scholar publiziert wurden und die Wirkung der KVT‑I bei Frauen in den Wechseljahren untersucht haben. Für Behandlungsoptionen werden die S3-Leitlinien für Insomnie herangezogen.

Ergebnisse
Die KVT‑I ist eine sehr wirkungsvolle Therapie bei Frauen mit Insomnie während der Wechseljahre. In allen untersuchten Studien war sie die Therapie mit den erfolgreichsten Ergebnissen, egal ob die Therapie persönlich oder telefonisch durchgeführt wurde. Die Schlafrestriktionstherapie (SRT) konnte ähnlich überzeugende Ergebnisse liefern. Vor allem in Bezug auf depressive Symptome, maladaptives Denken und die Übererregung sind für die SRT ähnlich gute Wirkungen belegt wie für die KVT‑I. Nicht eindeutige Ergebnisse liegen für den Effekt auf die Funktionsfähigkeit am Tag, die Arbeitsleistung sowie die allgemeine Lebensqualität vor, jedoch waren die Ergebnisse der KVT‑I und SRT diesbezüglich ebenfalls vergleichbar. Die Schlafhygieneaufklärung (SHA) zeigte in allen Studien einen geringen bis keinen Effekt. Patientinnen mit remittierter Insomnie wiesen nach der Therapie eine generell bessere Gesundheit auf.
Organizational Wrongdoing within the Context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: An Integrative Review

Published: August 2024

AbstractAddressing organizational wrongdoing (OW) is crucial for sustainable development. However, there seems to be a lack of structured analysis of this concept within the realm of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). This study aims to map the economic, business, and management literature on OW in relation to the SDGs using metadata extracted from 374 journal articles indexed in the Web of Science database for the period 2000–2023. This study highlights the need for a more systematic approach to understanding complex OW phenomena in the sustainable context. It proposes the foundation for a novel conceptual framework and suggests future research directions. Additionally, this study emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary research for developing comprehensive strategies that align organizational practices with sustainable development objectives.
Socioeconomic Status and Student Learning: Insights from an Umbrella Review
Authors: Tan Cheng Yong 
Published: August 2024

AbstractSocioeconomic status (SES) has been widely argued to be an important predictor of students’ learning outcomes; the corollary is that low-SES students face immense challenges in their learning. The present study employed an umbrella review, comprising a thematic review and second-order meta-analysis, of 48 reviews relating SES to student learning to critically examine this argument. Results elucidate three sets of insights on the relationship between SES and student learning. First, researchers need to expand the conceptualization of SES from being an objective, individual attribute measuring hierarchical differences in access to resources to a more comprehensive construct incorporating (a) objective and subjective evaluations of (b) individual and collective SES attributes; (c) emphasizing students’ mobilization of capital; and (d) adopting a more diverse, asset-based perspective of SES. Second, the umbrella review provides a nuanced evaluation of the influence of SES in student learning. It yields a mean SES effect size of r = .22 (deemed as large with reference to educational benchmarks, expected students’ achievement gains, and percentile points in achievement tests) but SES effects may be confounded with other demographics. Third, SES needs to be examined from an ecological perspective, given the different mediating and moderating processes pertaining to SES in student learning. The results imply that policies for improving low-SES students’ learning outcomes should comprehensively address multiple factors influencing student learning and avoid a one-size-fits-all approach, enhance disadvantaged students’ access to educational opportunities and resources, affirm the strengths that disadvantaged students bring to their learning, and address structural and systemic inequalities related to poverty, classism, and segregation.
Violence and the Limits of Experience
Authors: Ciocan Cristian 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe aim of this article is to explore the question of the limits of experience in light of the phenomenology of violence. I begin by emphasizing the specificity of the phenomenological concept of pre-theoretical experience, in contrast with the traditional concept of experience dominated by theoretical and epistemological motives. Consequently, I underscore that violence can be phenomenologically understood only as a lived experience, given in the first person, belonging to an embodied subject, and placed in an antagonistic intersubjective situation. In order to question how the lived experience of violence discloses the limits of experience, I focus on the concept of the limit and discuss its relevance to phenomenological thought, referring to the limits of phenomenology, limit-problems, limit-phenomena, and limit-situations. I then show that we can differentiate between normal and liminal modes of experience, but we are also dealing with a multitude of levels of experience (visual, auditory, tactile, embodied, affective, intersubjective, comprehensive, and discursive), each of which has its own specific limits. I conclude by analyzing how the phenomenon of violence delineates the limits of experience at each of these levels.

AbstractHereditary C1q deficiency (C1QDef) is a rare monogenic disorder leading to defective complement pathway activation and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-like manifestations. The link between impairment of the complement cascade and autoimmunity remains incompletely understood. Here, we assessed type 1 interferon pathway activation in patients with C1QDef. Twelve patients with genetically confirmed C1QDef were recruited through an international collaboration. Clinical, biological and radiological data were collected retrospectively. The expression of a standardized panel of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in peripheral blood was measured, and the level of interferon alpha (IFNα) protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) determined using SIMOA technology. Central nervous system (encompassing basal ganglia calcification, encephalitis, vasculitis, chronic pachymeningitis), mucocutaneous and renal involvement were present, respectively, in 10, 11 and 2 of 12 patients, and severe infections recorded in 2/12 patients. Elevated ISG expression was observed in all patients tested (n = 10/10), and serum and CSF IFNα elevated in 2/2 patients. Three patients were treated with Janus-kinase inhibitors (JAKi), with variable outcome; one displaying an apparently favourable response in respect of cutaneous and neurological features, and two others experiencing persistent disease despite JAKi therapy. To our knowledge, we report the largest original series of genetically confirmed C1QDef yet described. Additionally, we present a review of all previously described genetically confirmed cases of C1QDef. Overall, individuals with C1QDef demonstrate many characteristics of recognized monogenic interferonopathies: particularly, cutaneous involvement (malar rash, acral vasculitic/papular rash, chilblains), SLE-like disease, basal ganglia calcification, increased expression of ISGs in peripheral blood, and elevated levels of CSF IFNα.
A Microlocal Investigation of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations for Spinors with an Application to the Thirring Model
Authors: Bonicelli Alberto , Costeri Beatrice , Dappiaggi Claudio , Rinaldi Paolo 
Published: August 2024

AbstractOn ad-dimensional Riemannian, spin manifold (M, g) we consider non-linear, stochastic partial differential equations for spinor fields, driven by a Dirac operator and coupled to an additive Gaussian, vector-valued white noise. We extend to the case in hand a procedure, introduced in Dappiaggi et al (Commun Contemp Math 27(07):2150075, 2022), for the scalar counterpart, which allows to compute at a perturbative level the expectation value of the solutions as well as the associated correlation functions accounting intrinsically for the underlying renormalization freedoms. This framework relies strongly on tools proper of microlocal analysis and it is inspired by the algebraic approach to quantum field theory. As a concrete example we apply it to a stochastic version of the Thirring model proving in particular that it lies in the subcritical regime if$$d\le 2$$d≤2.
Bifurcation analysis of piecewise-smooth engineering systems with delays through numeric continuation of periodic orbits
Authors: Iklodi Zsolt , Dombovari Zoltan 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis paper presents a numeric continuation framework for periodic orbits of piecewise-smooth and hybrid dynamical systems with fixed point delays. For the numeric solution of the corresponding infinite dimensional multi-point boundary value problem, a novel discretization and interpolation scheme is developed employing Chebyshev polynomial based spectral collocation techniques. The same approach is employed for the formulation of the corresponding monodromy matrix enabling stability analysis on the found periodic orbits. Special care is attributed to the accurate detection of discontinuity induced bifurcations such as grazing and sliding, and the implemented pseudo-arclength framework is adapted to allow two parameter continuation of these critical points. The capabilities of the developed algorithms are demonstrated on a set of delayed piecewise-smooth and hybrid dynamical systems, showcasing potential engineering applications from the fields of control theory, traffic dynamics modelling, and machine tool vibrations. Finally, a detailed tutorial is attached in the appendix to accompany the open-source release of the developed codebase.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThis work introduces a new high-throughput method to characterize the oxidation behavior of chemically graded Ni-based alloys in order to feed databases destined to numerical metallurgy approaches. A Ni–wCr–3Al (w ∈ [0, 30]) chemically graded material was obtained from two homogeneous samples by a diffusion couple method at 1300 °C for 100 h. The composition range was selected in order to observe the three types of oxidation behavior identified in the reference work of Giggins and Pettit (Giggins and Pettit in Journal of The Electrochemical Society 118:1782, 1971). The excellent agreement between simulated and experimental diffusion profiles validated the experimental method used to manufacture the chemically graded material (CGM). The CGM was then oxidized at 1200 °C in air. Surface and cross-section characterization was conducted by SEM/EDS and Raman spectroscopy to identify the oxides formed on the CGM. To accelerate the Raman characterization treatment, a method linking principal component analysis and K-means unsupervised clustering algorithm was developed. It allowed for the identification of the oxide type without peak indexation issues and is well suited for CGM. These results show that results similar to well-recognized reference experiments (Giggins and Pettit in Journal of The Electrochemical Society 118:1782, 1971) can be achieved using only one CGM.
