Generic Motion Components for Sonic Design
Authors: Godøy Rolf Inge 
Published: May 2024

AbstractSonic design, understood as the activity of intentionally creating sound events, encompasses both musical craftsmanship and analytic reflection. It may include technologies for sound synthesis and processing, as well as traditional methods for sound generation by musical instruments or the human voice, and also principles of orchestration. Common to many instances of sonic design, is having acoustic components that blend with concurrent real or imagined motion sensations. Thus, sonic design can be understood as a multimodal phenomenon, yet we often lack suitable concepts for differentiating and evaluating these multimodal components. This paper aims to present work on developing a scheme to detect, and actively exploit, generic motion components in sonic design, be that as analytic or creative tools.
Sonic Design and Spatial Features
Authors: Holbrook Ulf A. S. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis chapter seeks to contextualise and demonstrate how the core features of sonic design can encompass multidimensional features of space. The Schaefferian sound object is the basis for sonic design, a multidimensional unit which can contain multiple significations and features at the same time. This unit can be described by its main features and be broken down into sub-features and sub-sub-features. Rich and varied attributes from acoustics and psychoacoustics are used to see the sound object not merely in a musical but also in a spatial perspective. My proposed spatial “extension” to sonic design follows a proposal for how the typomorphology classification system can be seen in the light of spatial features.
A Grammar of Expressive Conducting Gestures
Authors: Gibet Sylvie 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn recent years, research on sonification has paid more attention to sound variations induced by expressive gestures. This chapter focuses on conducting gestures, emphasizing expressive gestures performed by the non-dominant hand. It is assumed that these gestures implicitly correspond to musical nuances partially encoded in the scores and convey a meaning based on a grammatical structure specific to gestural languages. We, therefore, propose to analyze these gestures in light of linguistic mechanisms that govern signed languages. In particular, we are interested in the processes of sign formation from the combination of elementary components and the inflection processes that apply to these components to efficiently generate rich and expressive sentences. Based on this grammatical theory underlying sign language and a sound-tracking methodology, we create and evaluate a new dataset of expressive conducting gestures.

Living Learning Materials im Fokus digitaler universitärer Lehre
Authors: Pieper Marlene , Vogt Michaela , Bierschwale Christoph 
Published: May 2024

ZusammenfassungDie Idee der Living Learning Materials (LLM) bezieht sich auf einen reflexiven Umgang mit digitalen Bildungsmaterialien sowie entsprechenden OER-Plattformen hinsichtlich ihrer inklusionsförderlichen Potenziale und tut dies basierend auf einer Verschränkung der Lehre, Forschung und digitalen Communities of Practice. Den Ausgangspunkt universitärer Lehre bildet mit diesem Zuschnitt die kritische Beurteilung und Verbesserung von OER-Materialien basierend auf einem Kriterienkatalog zur Inklusionssensibilität und Qualität. Lehre wird damit in mehrfacher Hinsicht digital: Sie findet unter Hinzunahme digitaler Angebote statt und basiert zudem auf der kritischen gemeinsamen Reflexion über digitale Bildungsmaterialien. Hierdurch wird Studierenden die kritische und vielperspektivische Auseinandersetzung mit der Bildung in der „Kultur der Digitalität“ (Stalder 2016) ermöglicht.
Studie zum Nutzen persönlicher E-Mails in der Online- und Präsenzlehre
Authors: Mühlhauser Michael , Herrmann Dominik 
Published: May 2024

ZusammenfassungIn großen Onlinevorlesungen fehlt Studierenden manchmal die Motivation, sich mit den Kursinhalten auseinanderzusetzen. Die in diesem Beitrag vorgestellte Studie zeigt: regelmäßige persönliche E-Mails können die Lehr- und Lernkultur verbessern. In einer Online-Informatik-Grundlagenvorlesung im Sommersemester 2021 wurde dazu das Kommunikations- und Nutzungsverhalten von 473 Studierenden auf mehreren Lernplattformen ausgewertet. In einer Umfrage am Semesterende konnten die Studierenden darüber hinaus ihre subjektive Einschätzung zu den Kommunikationsangeboten abgeben. Die Auswertung zeigt, dass Studierende persönliche E-Mails von Lehrenden schätzen und dass diese einen signifikanten Einfluss auf das Kommunikationsverhalten haben, aber nicht unbedingt auf das Nutzungsverhalten von Lernangeboten.
Double Higgs production at the HL-LHC: probing a loop-enhanced model with kinematical distributions
Authors: Da Rold Leandro , Epele Manuel , Medina Anibal D. , Mileo Nicolás I. , Szynkman Alejandro 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
We study di-Higgs production via gluon fusion at the high luminosity LHC in the presence of new physics, focusing on the $$b\overline{b }\gamma \gamma $$ final states. Taking a minimal set of three scalar leptoquarks (LQs) with cubic and quartic interactions with the Higgs and choosing four benchmark points with a light LQ, we perform a detailed analysis of differential distributions of the di-Higgs production cross section, studying the imprints of the new physics states running in the loops. Simulating the signal and main backgrounds, we study the influence of the new physics in differential distributions such as the invariant mass of the subsystems of final particles, the transverse momentum, and angular variables, finding in particular a resonance peak associated with the light LQ. It turns out that the angular separation of the photons, which is correlated with the resonance LQ peak, is a very sensitive observable that helps in discriminating the new physics signal from the Standard Model background. We find that for two of our benchmarks discovery could be reached with 3 ab−1, whereas exclusion limits at 95% C.L. could be claimed with 0.60–0.75 ab−1. For the other two benchmarks that have heavier LQ masses significances of order 2σ are possible for 3 ab−1. A similar analysis could be applied to other loop-enhanced models.
Phi4tools: compilation of Feynman diagrams for Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson theories
Authors: Sberveglieri Giacomo , Spada Gabriele 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Scalar field theories with quartic interactions are of central interest in the study of second-order phase transitions. For three-dimensional theories, numerous studies make use of the fixed-dimensional perturbative computation of [B. Nickel, D. Meiron, and G. Baker Jr, Compilation of 2-pt and 4-pt graphs for continuous spin model, University of Guelph report (1977)], unfortunately left unpublished. We independently verify the results of Nickel et al., and we extend the computation to the eighth order in the coupling constant. The results of our calculations, together with the tools developed, are made available in Phi4tools, a user-friendly package that allows displaying the information about the individual Feynman diagrams, including the numerical values for the diagrams for zero, two, and four-point functions. We also provide the perturbative series up to order eight for the renormalization-group functions for the O(N) and cubic anisotropic models.
Zero modes of massive fermions delocalize from axion strings
Authors: Bagherian Hengameh , Fraser Katherine , Homiller Samuel , Stout John 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Massless chiral excitations can arise from the interactions between a fermion and an axion string, propagating along the string and allowing it to superconduct. The properties of these excitations, or zero modes, dictate how the string interacts with light and can thus have important phenomenological consequences. In this paper, we add a nowhere-vanishing Dirac mass for the fermion in the usual model of axion electrodynamics. We find that the zero modes exhibit an interesting phase structure in which they delocalize from the string’s core as the mass increases, up until a critical value past which they disappear. We study this structure from an analytic perspective, with explicit numerical solutions, and via anomaly inflow arguments. Finally, we derive the two-dimensional effective theory of the zero mode and its interactions with the four-dimensional gauge field and show how this effective theory breaks down as the zero modes delocalize.
Strange higher-spin topological systems in 3D
Authors: Boulanger Nicolas , Campoleoni Andrea , Lekeu Victor , Skvortsov Evgeny 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Motivated by the generation of action principles from off-shell dualisation, we present a general class of free, topological theories in three dimensional Minkowski spacetime that exhibit higher-spin gauge invariance. In the spin-two case, we recover a dual reformulation of the triplet system already known, while the higher-spin systems that we obtain seem to be new. They are associated with wild quivers. We study in which situations these exotic (or strange) higher-spin models can be extended to dS3 and AdS3 backgrounds, revealing that the flat limit of such models, when they exist, admits a one-parameter freedom. Interactions are studied in the simplest higher-spin case featuring spin-2 and spin-3 fields. We then give several higher-spin generalizations of these strange systems.

Authors: Elameen Ali Mohamed , AlMarakby Mohamed Awad , Atta Tarek Ibrahim , Dahy Asmaa Ali 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background
Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an emerging disorder that has gained global attention throughout the past era. The present meta-analysis was performed to retrieve the risk of BIA-ALCL from population-based epidemiological studies. Factors associated with BIA-ALCL were evaluated to identify patients at higher risk of BIA-ALCL.

Methods
A systematic literature search was executed throughout 12 databases. All epidemiological studies encompassing patients with breast implants either for aesthetic or reconstructive purposes and reported the risk of BIA-ALCL were included. Studies reported the risk factors of BIA-ALCL were included.

Results
The present meta-analysis included 17 articles, encompassing 525,475 patients with breast implants. There were 254 patients with BIA-ALCL with a mean duration to the diagnosis of BIA-ALCL of 13.16 years (95% CI 11.7–14.6, P < 0.001). There were 44 patients with textured breast implants and two with smooth implants. Patients with breast implants were 28.86 times more at high risk of BI-ALCL (95% CI 3.123–266.681). The risk ranged from 0 to 1 per 1000 cases with breast implants, with a similar risk among patients seeking aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries. The risk was 0 to 1 case per 1000 cases among patients with textured breast implants. There was a significant association between the history of breast cancer and BIA-ALCL (P = 0.0016).

Conclusion
This meta-analysis confirmed the association between breast implants and ALCL. There was a similar risk of BIA-ALCL among patients with aesthetic or reconstructive surgeries. Patients with a history of breast cancer were at higher risk of BIA-ALCL.

Assessing deep learning reconstruction for faster prostate MRI: visual vs. diagnostic performance metrics
Authors: van Lohuizen Quintin , Roest Christian , Simonis Frank F. J. , Fransen Stefan J. , Kwee Thomas C. , Yakar Derya , Huisman Henkjan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Objective
Deep learning (DL) MRI reconstruction enables fast scan acquisition with good visual quality, but the diagnostic impact is often not assessed because of large reader study requirements. This study used existing diagnostic DL to assess the diagnostic quality of reconstructed images.

Materials and methods
A retrospective multisite study of 1535 patients assessed biparametric prostate MRI between 2016 and 2020. Likely clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) lesions (PI-RADS $$\ge$$
≥
4) were delineated by expert radiologists. T2-weighted scans were retrospectively undersampled, simulating accelerated protocols. DL reconstruction (DLRecon) and diagnostic DL detection (DLDetect) were developed. The effect on the partial area under (pAUC), the Free-Response Operating Characteristic (FROC) curve, and the structural similarity (SSIM) were compared as metrics for diagnostic and visual quality, respectively. DLDetect was validated with a reader concordance analysis. Statistical analysis included Wilcoxon, permutation, and Cohen’s kappa tests for visual quality, diagnostic performance, and reader concordance.

Results
DLRecon improved visual quality at 4- and 8-fold (R4, R8) subsampling rates, with SSIM (range: −1 to 1) improved to 0.78 ± 0.02 (p < 0.001) and 0.67 ± 0.03 (p < 0.001) from 0.68 ± 0.03 and 0.51 ± 0.03, respectively. However, diagnostic performance at R4 showed a pAUC FROC of 1.33 (CI 1.28–1.39) for DL and 1.29 (CI 1.23–1.35) for naive reconstructions, both significantly lower than fully sampled pAUC of 1.58 (DL: p = 0.024, naïve: p = 0.02). Similar trends were noted for R8.

Conclusion
DL reconstruction produces visually appealing images but may reduce diagnostic accuracy. Incorporating diagnostic AI into the assessment framework offers a clinically relevant metric essential for adopting reconstruction models into clinical practice.

Clinical relevance statement
In clinical settings, caution is warranted when using DL reconstruction for MRI scans. While it recovered visual quality, it failed to match the prostate cancer detection rates observed in scans not subjected to acceleration and DL reconstruction.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection versus surgery for T1b esophageal carcinoma: a single-center retrospective study
Authors: Zhang Ting , Wang Hanying , Jin Tian , Wu Zeyu , Li Xiuqing , Zhang Qide 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Introduction
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a preferred treatment option for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC). However, only few studies compared long-term survival outcomes of ESD with surgery, especially for T1b SESCC. This study compared the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and complication rates of both, to evaluate the value of ESD in patients with T1b SESCC.

Methods
We reviewed patients who underwent ESD (n = 47) or surgery (n = 73) for T1b SESCC at Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from 2009 to 2021. To increase the precision of our results interpretation, subgroups were analyzed according to the depth of tumor invasion and elderly people.

Results
In the ESD and surgery groups, the overall mortality rates were 0/100 and 12.3/100 person years, incidence rates of recurrence were 2.13/100 and 11/100 person years, respectively. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed no significant different in OS, DSS and RFS. Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and depth of submucosal invasion were identified as risk factors for cancer recurrence in multivariate analysis. For elderly people, no significant differences were found in OS, DSS and RFS between different treatments.

Conclusion
ESD are related to lower complication rates and shorter hospital stay than surgery in long-term outcomes for patients with pT1b SESCC. But in pT1b-SM2 patients, we still need long-term follow-up.
Winter-ground microhabitat use by differently coloured phenotypes affects return rate in a long-distance migratory bird
Authors: Kärkkäinen Tiia , Hobson Keith A. , Kardynal Kevin J. , Laaksonen Toni 
Published: May 2024

AbstractMigratory bird populations are declining globally at alarming rates. Non-breeding site conditions affect breeding populations, but generalising non-breeding habitat conditions over large spatial regions cannot address potential fine-scale differences across landscapes or local populations. Plumage characteristics can mediate the effects of environmental conditions on individual fitness. However, whether different phenotypes use distinctive non-breeding sites, and whether they respond to non-breeding site conditions differently remains largely unknown. Stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N, δ2H) of inert tissues are useful to infer habitat characteristics and geographic origins where those tissues were grown. We collected winter-grown feathers from pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) on their breeding grounds over several years from males whose dorsal plumage colouration ranged continuously from brown to black and assessed their stable isotope values as proxies of local habitat conditions. Based on feather δ2H profiles we found that browner males spent their non-breeding season in drier habitats than black males. Assignment to origin analysis shows potential regional non-breeding ground separation between differently coloured males. High within-individual repeatability of both δ13C and δ15N indicate the pied flycatcher males return yearly to similar areas. Blacker males were more likely to return to the breeding grounds after dry years compared with brown males. The opposite was found in wet years. Our study demonstrates that different phenotypes are exposed to different non-breeding site conditions which can differentially affect individual survivorship. This has important ramifications for population dynamics under predicted climate change scenarios where especially brown phenotype pied flycatcher males may be under a risk of decreasing.
A feature selection method based on Shapley values robust for concept shift in regression
Authors: Sebastián Carlos , González-Guillén Carlos E. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractFeature selection is one of the most relevant processes in any methodology for creating a statistical learning model. Usually, existing algorithms establish some criterion to select the most influential variables, discarding those that do not contribute to the model with any relevant information. This methodology makes sense in a static situation where the joint distribution of the data does not vary over time. However, when dealing with real data, it is common to encounter the problem of the dataset shift and, specifically, changes in the relationships between variables (concept shift). In this case, the influence of a variable cannot be the only indicator of its quality as a regressor of the model, since the relationship learned in the training phase may not correspond to the current situation. In tackling this problem, our approach establishes a direct relationship between the Shapley values and prediction errors, operating at a more local level to effectively detect the individual biases introduced by each variable. The proposed methodology is evaluated through various examples, including synthetic scenarios mimicking sudden and incremental shift situations, as well as two real-world cases characterized by concept shifts. Additionally, we perform three analyses of standard situations to assess the algorithm’s robustness in the absence of shifts. The results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm significantly outperforms state-of-the-art feature selection methods in concept shift scenarios, while matching the performance of existing methodologies in static situations.
Sex-specific effects of birth weight on longitudinal behavioural outcomes in children and adolescents: findings from the raine study
Authors: Byg Lars Meinertz , Wang Carol , Attia John , Pennell Craig 
Published: May 2024

AbstractPrevious cross-sectional studies suggest that birth weight (BW) is associated with aggression-, social- and attention problems differently in boys and girls. We sought to test if these differences could be confirmed in a longitudinal study. The 1989 Raine Study provided prospectively collected data on perinatal variables and repeated child behaviour checklist assessments from ages 5 to 17. Linear mixed effects models provided crude and adjusted relationships between BW and childhood behaviour at a conservative significance threshold using prenatal maternal covariables in adjusted models. Sensitivity analyses included an age10 teacher assessment. Data on behaviour, BW and sex, was available in 2269 participants. Male sex was associated with increased aggression problems at lower BW compared to females in the crude model (Interaction B: -0.436, 98.3%CI: [-0.844, -0.0253]), but not the adjusted model (Interaction B: -0.310, 98.3%CI: [-0.742, 0.140]). Male sex was associated with increased attention problems at lower BW compared to females in both the crude model (Interaction B: -0.334, 98.3%CI: [-0.530, -0.137]) and the adjusted model (Interaction B: -0.274, 98.3%CI: [-0.507, -0.0432]). Male sex was associated with increased social problems at lower BW compared to females in both the crude model (Interaction B: -0.164, 98.3%CI: [-0.283, -0.0441]) and the adjusted model (Interaction B: -0.148, 98.3%CI: [-0.285, -0.00734]). Using repeated measures from ages 5–17 we were able to show a crude and adjusted male vulnerability to lower BW in the development of attention problems and social problems. We did not find a BW x sex interaction for the development of aggressive behaviour.
