Should Theories of Logical Validity Self-Apply?
Authors: Grossi Marco 
Published: June 2024

AbstractSome philosophers argue that a theory of logical validity should not interpret its own language, because a Russellian argument shows that self-applicability is inconsistent with the ability to capture all the interpretations of its own language. First, I set up a formal system to examine the Russellian argument. I then defend the need for self-applicability. I argue that self-applicability seems to be implied by generality, and that the Russellian argument rests on a test for meaning that is biased against self-applicability. I propose an alternative test which is unproblematic for self-applicability. I conclude that self-applicability can be vindicated and the Russellian argument can be resisted.
Characterization of a new dwarf watercress (Nasturtium officinale R Br.) ‘Boldrewood’ in commercial trials reveals a consistent increase in chemopreventive properties in a longer-grown crop

AbstractWe describe ‘Boldrewood’, a new accession of watercress (Nasturtium officinale R. Br.) that was initially found to be of short stature with high antioxidant capacity (Payne et al. 2015). This was of particular commercial interest because it offered the potential to develop a novel watercress product with fork-friendly size and improved health-benefits. In two commercial trials comparing Boldrewood to a control, we confirmed that Boldrewood exhibits a dwarf phenotype with a significantly shorter stem and consistently produced more leaves per stem area alongside comparable crop biomass. The antioxidant and chemopreventive capacity of Boldrewood were comparable to the commercial crop. For the first time, we observed a novel increase in glucosinolate concentrations and cytotoxicity to cancer cells, characterised as decreased IC50 (half-maximal concentration of an inhibitor), associated with increased crop age at harvest. This suggests that a slower-growing and longer to harvest crop provides a significant improvement in health benefits gained in this leafy crop which is already known to be highly nutrient dense and with considerable chemopreventive ability.

AbstractLong-term data on depression symptoms after cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for youth anxiety disorders are scant. We examined depression symptoms up to four years post CBT for anxiety addressing youth age and gender, family social class, and parent mental health as predictors. The sample comprised 179 youth (M age at pre-treatment = 11.5 years; SD = 2.1) in a randomized controlled trial. Clinically assessed anxiety diagnoses and youth and parent-reported anxiety and depression symptoms were measured before, after, and one and four years after CBT. Parent self-reported mental health was measured before CBT. We used regression analyses to determine whether full diagnostic recovery at post-CBT predicted depression trajectories across the four-year assessment period. We used growth curve models to determine whether anxiety trajectories predicted depression trajectories across the four-year assessment period. Youth who lost their anxiety diagnoses after CBT had significantly lower parent-reported depression levels over time, but not lower youth self-reported depression levels. The anxiety symptom trajectory predicted the depression symptom trajectory up to four years post-treatment. There was more explained variance for within-informant (youth-youth; parent-parent) than cross-informants. Being older, female, having lower socio-economic status and parents with poorer mental health were associated with more youth-rated depression over time. However, these demographic predictors were not significant when anxiety symptoms trajectories were added to the models. Successful CBT for anxiety in children is associated with less depression symptoms for as long as four years. Anxiety symptom improvement appears to be a stronger predictor that demographic variables and parent mental health.
Footloose and fancy-free in FinTech? Internationalization strategies of born regional and born global firms in the European financial service sector
Authors: Forsberg Paulina , Hulsink Willem 
Published: June 2024

AbstractDue to economic globalization and technological advancements, businesses are increasingly required to navigate complex international markets. One type of firm that has emerged in response to these trends is the born global, which initiates foreign activities almost from the very start. While these startups expand their reach by pursuing pro-active internationalization strategies, it is unclear whether startups creating the FinTech revolution also belong to this category. This study investigates five key components of the internationalization strategies of European FinTech startups: the speed and scope of internationalization, the drivers of internationalization, international market selection, the mode of market entry, and the challenges involved in internationalization. While born globals use a systematic approach to international market selection and entry, European FinTechs use a quasi-systematic and opportunistic approach to searching and seizing their geographical markets. Their common approach includes quickly going beyond their home base to adjacent markets, followed by gradual experimentation and substantive growth in their home region, and becoming born-regional firms (with some evolving into born-global firms later).

AbstractModification of the surfaces of polymeric scaffolds is often required to make the material suitable for specific tissue engineering applications. Physico-chemical properties of scaffolds can be altered using various methods, such as plasma treatment, laser processing, chemical modifications, grafting with nanoparticles, or surface coating. In this paper physico-chemical modification of polycaprolactone (PCL) surface fibers was performed by exposing PCL samples to simultaneous soft X-ray/extreme ultraviolet (SXR/EUV) radiation and low-temperature, SXR/EUV-induced, nitrogen, and oxygen plasmas. The physical and chemical changes on modified PCL surfaces were examined using a scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The effects of physico-chemical scaffold surface changes were verified with biological tests, i.e., MTT assay and immunofluorescence on murine osteoblast cell line (7F2). It was found that exposure of scaffolds to ionizing radiation and low-temperature plasmas induced strong chemical changes on their surface, i.e., appearance of various new chemical groups. Also, smoothing of the surface of PCL fibers, i.e., disappearance or significant reduction of the size of micropores on their fibers was also observed. Increased viability and adhesion of 7F2 osteoblasts on modified PCL samples after 24 h cell culture compared to non-treated PCL was also confirmed.

Rapid oxidation of semiconductors at room temperature with a basic plasma cleaner

Published: June 2024

AbstractThis paper shows how a simple modification of the electrodes in a basic commercial plasma cleaner allowed the oxidation of compound semiconductors (GaAs) and Si at room temperature. We explained the oxidation of the semiconductor surface by the participation of aluminum atoms evaporated from the electrode surface in the discharge, which resulting in additional ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the plasma. The UV radiation not only increases the decomposition of oxygen molecules adsorbed on the surface but also results in photoionization of GaAs with the formation of Ga and As ions at the oxide–GaAs interface. In addition to obtaining oxides on semiconductor surfaces, the modified device proved to be an effective tool for etching amorphous carbon films.

AbstractThe influence of electron irradiation with energies of 0.5–2.5 MeV with fluences up to 70 × 1018 cm–2 on the electrical resistivity in the basal plane of YBa2Cu3O7–δ single crystals in the temperature range from the superconducting transition, Tc, to 300 K has been studied. Such irradiation leads to the appearance of a significant number of defects that cause a decrease in anisotropy, an appreciable increase in phonon scattering, reduction of Tc, and broadening of the superconducting transition. Under the conditions specified, the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity is approximated with high accuracy by the charge carriers’ scattering on defects and phonons, and fluctuating conductivity in the Lawrence-Doniach (LD) model. The dependences of approximation parameters on fluence are discussed.
How Virtual are We? Introducing the Team Perceived Virtuality Scale
Authors: Handke Lisa , Costa Patrícia , Feitosa Jennifer 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
With the strong proliferation of virtual teams across various organizations and contexts, understanding how virtuality affects teamwork has become fundamental to team and organizational effectiveness. However, current conceptualizations of virtuality rely almost exclusively on more or less fixed, structural features, such as the degree of technology reliance. In this paper, we take a socio-constructivist perspective on team virtuality, focusing on individuals’ experience of team virtuality, which may vary across teams and time points with similar structural features. More specifically, we develop and validate a scale that captures the construct of Team Perceived Virtuality (Handke et al., 2021). Following a description of item development and content validity, we present the results of four different studies that demonstrate the construct’s structural, discriminant, and criterion validity with an overall number of 2,294 teams. The final instrument comprises 10 items that measure the two dimensions of Team Perceived Virtuality (collectively-experienced distance and collectively-experienced information deficits) with five items each. This final scale showed a very good fit to a two-dimensional structure both at individual and team levels and adequate psychometric properties including aggregation indices. We further provide evidence for conceptual and empirical distinctiveness of the two TPV dimensions based on related team constructs, and for criterion validity, showing the expected significant relationships with leader-rated interaction quality and team performance. Lastly, we generalize results from student project teams to an organizational team sample. Accordingly, this scale can enhance both research and practice as a validated instrument to address how team virtuality is experienced.
An Integrative Model of Psychotherapeutic Interventions Based on a Predictive Processing Framework
Authors: Villiger Daniel 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
There are numerous approaches to psychotherapy with distinct underlying theories. Yet, it is unlikely that any of these is conclusive because they broadly yield similar therapeutic effects. A different approach attempts to derive the common factors from the specific treatments and proposes that these common factors primarily promote therapeutic effects. But although generally promising, these common factors have not been integrated into a more fundamental explanatory framework that also considers the effectiveness of specific factors. Therefore, an integrative model of psychotherapeutic interventions is still missing. The aim of this paper is to help fill that gap by applying the theory of predictive processing to interventions from various psychotherapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy, client-centred therapy, and psychoanalysis. The analysis results in the predictive processing model of psychotherapeutic interventions (3PI model for short). The new model reveals that psychotherapy comprises two main functions: to provide a safe and positive environment to which the patient can adapt, and to facilitate the process of updating a dysfunctional generative model. Further, it shows that common factors primarily promote the first function, while specific factors mainly support the second function, offering a new perspective to the debate on common and the specific factors.

He-B, a condensate of Cooper pairs, the dissipation arising from the scattering of quasiparticle excitations from a mechanical oscillator provides the basis of extremely sensitive thermometry and bolometry at sub-millikelvin temperatures. The unique properties of the Andreev reflection process in this condensate also assist by providing a significantly enhanced dissipation. While existing models for such damping on an oscillating cylinder have been verified experimentally, they are valid only for flows with scales much greater than the coherence length of $$^3$$

With our increasing proficiency in fabricating nanosized oscillators, which can be readily used in this superfluid, there is a pressing need for the development of new models that account for the modification of the flow around these smaller oscillators.

Fourth-Order Accurate Compact Scheme for First-Order Maxwell’s Equations
Authors: Versano I. , Turkel E. , Tsynkov S. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWe construct a compact fourth-order scheme, in space and time, for the time-dependent Maxwell’s equations given as a first-order system on a staggered (Yee) grid. At each time step, we update the fields by solving positive definite second-order elliptic equations. We develop compatible boundary conditions for these elliptic equations while maintaining a compact stencil. The proposed scheme is compared computationally with a non-compact scheme and with a convolutional dispersion relation preserving (DRP) scheme.

AbstractWe take another look at using Stein’s method to establish uniform Berry–Esseen bounds for Studentized nonlinear statistics, highlighting variable censoring and an exponential randomized concentration inequality for a sum of censored variables as the essential tools to carry out the arguments involved. As an important application, we prove a uniform Berry–Esseen bound for Studentized U-statistics in a form that exhibits the dependence on the degree of the kernel.

Published: June 2024

AbstractAdsorptive separation of Gd3+ ions was evaluated using DOWEX-50×8 ion exchange resin. It has shown a maximum adsorption capacity of 228.50 mg/g at optimum pH 5 and room temperature. Separation of Gd isotopes was investigated using packed bed columns of the resin in displacement chromatographic techniques where 1,2-cyclohexanedinitrilotetraacetic acid was used as displacer in the mobile phase. Isotopic analysis data by using MC‒ICP‒MS confirmed that the front end of the Gd adsorption band exhibited enrichment of the heavier isotope (160Gd), while the lighter isotopes (157Gd and 155Gd) were concentrated at the rear end of the stationary phase.
Cultural Injustice and Refugee Discrimination
Authors: Al Hashmi Rufaida 
Published: June 2024

AbstractMany believe that it is morally impermissible to select refugees applying for resettlement on the basis of religion but morally permissible to do so on the basis of language. In this paper, I challenge this position. I argue that if we oppose selection by religion, then we should also oppose selection by language. I argue that the kind of religious selection proposed by some is demeaning because of a history of cultural injustice, which I examine through the context of colonialism. I show that this account of the wrongness of religious selection fares better than alternative views. Since language played an important role in this history of cultural injustice, I conclude that language selection is demeaning for the same reason. An upshot of my argument is that some kinds of language selection should be viewed as a form of cultural selection. Language, like religion, can be culturally laden in ways that makes it impermissible grounds for the selection of refugees applying for resettlement and indeed would-be immigrants more generally.

Published: June 2024

AbstractChildhood represents a critical window for the emergence and treatment of mental health disorders, yet many are not being identified, or are identified too late to receive adequate intervention. This systematic review (Prospero registration: CRD42022299560) aimed to determine the effectiveness and acceptability of parent reported universal mental health screening (UMHS) to improve the early identification of children at-risk of mental health difficulties, and to identify barriers and enablers that may influence parental engagement. Six databases were searched in February 2022 for peer-reviewed, primary research. Studies conducted in targeted populations, evaluating psychometric properties, or focused on screening non-psychological problems were excluded. Ten studies examined parent reported (n = 3,464 parents) UMHS for children from birth to 18 years, suggesting an overall scarcity of research. Findings are presented in a table of study characteristics and a narrative summary of acceptability, effectiveness, barriers, and enablers. Quantitative findings indicated that parents generally support and accept UMHS. Research assessing effectiveness was limited, although two studies indicated increased referrals and referral adherence following positive screens. Confidentiality and stigma were commonly identified barriers. Quality assessment using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool indicated that studies varied in quality, meeting four to seven of the seven quality criteria. Understanding and addressing parent attitudes to UMHS across settings is necessary for the successful implementation of screening and improvement of child mental health outcomes. More high-quality research studies, including randomized controlled trials are therefore needed to examine the acceptability and effectiveness of UMHS for parents and their children.
Does risk management moderate the relationship between CEO power and corporate philanthropy?
Authors: Adams Mike , Jiang Wei , Liu Siqi 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
By integrating upper echelons, agency, and stakeholder theories, we examine the relationship between CEO power and charitable cash donations. Utilizing a novel hand-collected dataset from the UK's insurance industry, our focus lies particularly on how risk management influences this relationship. We find that CEO power is positively related to charitable giving. However, alternative risk mitigation strategies play a moderating role in the CEO power-donations relationship, suggesting that in firms with alternative risk management strategies, CEOs are less likely to advocate for corporate giving as a method to mitigate business risks. Our results are robust to various endogeneity checks and alternative measures of CEO power. Our paper enriches the comprehension of the motives driving corporate philanthropy.
Certified coordinate selection for high-dimensional Bayesian inversion with Laplace prior
Authors: Flock Rafael , Dong Yiqiu , Uribe Felipe , Zahm Olivier 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWe consider high-dimensional Bayesian inverse problems with arbitrary likelihood and product-form Laplace prior for which we provide a certified approximation of the posterior in the Hellinger distance. The approximate posterior differs from the prior only in a small number of relevant coordinates that contribute the most to the update from the prior to the posterior. We propose and analyze a gradient-based diagnostic to identify these relevant coordinates. Although this diagnostic requires computing an expectation with respect to the posterior, we propose tractable methods for the classical case of a linear forward model with Gaussian likelihood. Our methods can be employed to estimate the diagnostic before solving the Bayesian inverse problem via, e.g., Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. After selecting the coordinates, the approximate posterior can be efficiently inferred since most of its coordinates are only informed by the prior. Moreover, specialized MCMC methods, such as the pseudo-marginal MCMC algorithm, can be used to obtain less correlated samples when sampling the exact posterior. We show the applicability of our method using a 1D signal deblurring problem and a high-dimensional 2D super-resolution problem.
The cross-employment of PhDs across the university sector boundary: an analysis of Finnish register data

Published: June 2024

AbstractTacit knowledge flows can be facilitated by employment transitions, such as for example the transitions of PhDs from university employment to industry. There are however barriers to transitions into and out of university employment, and as a consequence, such transitions are relatively rare. PhDs can circumvent the barriers to permanent transitions by simultaneous secondary employment relationships. Though we know that such cross-employment exists, we do not know how common it de facto is. In this paper, we use a nine-year panel of daily-level employment microdata on the full population of Finnish PhDs to show that about 30% of university-employed PhDs are cross-employed outside of universities. This is a substantial share, and its magnitude alone suggests a central but underappreciated role for cross-employment in contemporary knowledge production and dissemination. We furthermore find that similar numbers of non–university-employed PhDs are cross-employed at universities as university PhDs are cross-employed outside of universities, and that many cross-employment relationships are in non-technical fields, and with public sector organizations. This illustrates the importance of understanding the nature of knowledge flows other than the unidirectional flows of technical knowledge from universities to industrial firms.
