Towards more sustainable and trustworthy reporting in machine learning
Authors: Fischer Raphael , Liebig Thomas , Morik Katharina 
Published: April 2024

AbstractWith machine learning (ML) becoming a popular tool across all domains, practitioners are in dire need of comprehensive reporting on the state-of-the-art. Benchmarks and open databases provide helpful insights for many tasks, however suffer from several phenomena: Firstly, they overly focus on prediction quality, which is problematic considering the demand for more sustainability in ML. Depending on the use case at hand, interested users might also face tight resource constraints and thus should be allowed to interact with reporting frameworks, in order to prioritize certain reported characteristics. Furthermore, as some practitioners might not yet be well-skilled in ML, it is important to convey information on a more abstract, comprehensible level. Usability and extendability are key for moving with the state-of-the-art and in order to be trustworthy, frameworks should explicitly address reproducibility. In this work, we analyze established reporting systems under consideration of the aforementioned issues. Afterwards, we propose STREP, our novel framework that aims at overcoming these shortcomings and paves the way towards more sustainable and trustworthy reporting. We use STREP’s (publicly available) implementation to investigate various existing report databases. Our experimental results unveil the need for making reporting more resource-aware and demonstrate our framework’s capabilities of overcoming current reporting limitations. With our work, we want to initiate a paradigm shift in reporting and help with making ML advances more considerate of sustainability and trustworthiness.

Published: April 2024

AbstractFour new solution-processable platinum-containing polyynes functionalized with triphenylamine backbone and different acceptor fragment in the side chain were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic, thermal and optical methods. The main- and side-chains show different absorption features in the solar spectrum, resulting in broad absorption coverage of the whole visible region. By changing the acceptor group in the side chain, the photophysical properties including energy levels, absorption wavelength and bandgap of the polymers were finely tuned. As the strength of electron acceptor is increased, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic polymer solar cells fabricated with these polymers as electron donor and (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as electron acceptor was increased. PCE of 1.35% can be obtained from solar cell based on the polyplatinayne with the dicyanovinyl side group under illumination of an AM 1.5 solar cell simulator in a 1:4 (polymer:PCBM) blend ratio.

AbstractThree Zn(II)-coordination polymers, namely, {[Zn2(µ4-L)(µ-obix)2]·4DMF}n (1), {[Zn2(µ4-L)(µ-mbix)2]·6H2O}n (2) and {[Zn2(µ4-L)(µ-pbix)2]·5H2O}n (3), (L4−: 5,5’-(terephthaloylbis(azanediyl))diisophthalate and obix (y = 2), mbix (y = 3), pbix (y = 4): 1,y-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene) were prepared with a tetracarboxylic acid and flexible isomeric bis(imidazole) linkers and characterized. The compounds displayed structural diversity depending on the rotation of imidazole rings around the –CH2- groups on bis(imidazole) ligands. Compounds 1–3 showed 2-fold interpenetrated 3D framework, 2D structure and 3D framework, respectively. The compounds showed high emissions in solid-state and solutions. Luminescence experiments showed that compounds 1–3 displayed sensitive detection towards Fe3+ ions with detection limits of 2.31 ppm, 5.17 ppm and 2.61 ppm, respectively. Moreover, the compounds could selectively detect Fe3+ ions over the other interfering metal ions via luminescence quenching. The detection mechanism could be ascribed to the competitive light absorption between Fe3+ ions and the compounds.

AbstractPurposeThis systematic review investigates the effectiveness of workplace interventions to support young workers’ work environment, safety and health.MethodsA systematic search was conducted in bibliographic databases including PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection and PsycInfo for English or Scandinavian articles published from 2007 to 2022. The PICO strategy guided the assessment of study relevance and the bibliographical search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs in which (1) participants were young workers (mean age: 15–29), (2) interventions were initiated and/or carried out at the workplace, (3) a comparison group was included, and (4) an outcome measure related to work environment, safety and health was reported. We categorized each included study using the intervention classification framework. The quality assessment and evidence synthesis adhered to the guidelines developed by the Institute for Work & Health (Toronto, Canada).ResultsA total of 33 high and medium quality studies showed a moderate level of evidence for no benefit of ‘Mental training’ on stress. We found limited evidence of a positive effect of the following intervention types: ‘Attitude and belief’ on mental health problems, ‘Behavior based’ on anxiety, and ‘Multifaceted’ on hand eczema. We found limited evidence for no benefit of the following intervention types: ‘Mental training’ on mental health problems, and ‘Physiological modifications’ on musculoskeletal disorders. The remaining intervention types showed mixed or insufficient evidence.ConclusionsExcept for a moderate level of evidence for no benefit of ‘Mental training’ on stress, the evidence synthesis recommends, that there is not enough evidence from the scientific literature to guide current practices. The results emphasizes a strong need for high quality interventions specifically aiming at increasing or maintaining young workers’ work environment, safety and health. Included studies focused mainly on individual measures, highlighting the need for studies investigating possible preventive measures at the group or organizational level.
Computational analysis of power-law fluids for convective heat transfer in permeable enclosures using Darcy effects
Authors: Rehman Maryam , Hafeez Muhammad Bilal , Krawczuk Marek 
Published: April 2024

AbstractNatural convection is a complex environmental phenomenon that typically occurs in engineering settings in porous structures. Shear thinning or shear thickening fluids are characteristics of power-law fluids, which are non-Newtonian in nature and find wide-ranging uses in various industrial processes. Non-Newtonian fluid flow in porous media is a difficult problem with important consequences for energy systems and heat transfer. In this paper, convective heat transmission in permeable enclosures will be thoroughly examined. The main goal is to comprehend the intricate interaction between the buoyancy-induced convection intensity, the porosity of the casing, and the fluid’s power-law rheology as indicated by the Rayleigh number. The objective is to comprehend the underlying mechanisms and identify the ideal conditions for improving heat transfer processes.The problem’s governing equations for a scientific investigation are predicated on the concepts of heat transport and fluid dynamics. The fluid flow and thermal behavior are represented using the energy equation, the Boussinesq approximation, and the Navier–Stokes equations. The continuity equation in a porous media represents the conservation of mass. Finite Element Analysis is the numerical method that is suggested for this challenging topic since it enables a comprehensive examination of the situation. The results of the investigation support several important conclusions. The power-law index directly impacts heat transmission patterns. A higher Rayleigh number indicates increased buoyancy-induced convection, which increases the heat transfer rates inside the shell. The porosity of the medium significantly affects temperature gradients and flow distribution, and it is most noticeable when permeability is present. The findings show how, in the context of porous media, these parameters have complicated relationships with one another.

AbstractNimesulide (NMS) is a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, however, presents low aqueous solubility. One way to overcome the solubility issue of drugs is altering their solid forms through some approaches like cocrystals, coamorphous, and eutectic mixtures. The purpose of this work was to prospect new multicomponent solid forms of NMS. A virtual-experimental cocrystal screening was carried out through COSMOquick software and mechanochemical experiments. Alternatively, dual-drug coamorphous systems were investigated by quench cooling and/or cryomilling processes. All solid samples were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results confirmed the successful synthesis of a NMS-piperazine cocrystal (NMS-PPZ), two new eutectic mixtures NMS-gentisic acid (NMS-GSA) and NMS-isoniazid (NMS-INH), as well as novel drug-drug coamorphous systems. The eutectic compositions were determined by binary solid–liquid phase diagram construction and Tamman’s triangle plot. Nimesulide-omeprazole (NMS-OMP) coamorphous system was found to be stable for at least 120 days in dry conditions. The coamorphous system with bicalutamide (NMS-BICA) prepared by quench cooling process is more stable than that obtained by cryomilling. Finally, the dissolution rate study demonstrated that NMS multicomponent systems are dissolved relatively faster than pure drug.
Prehistory, anti-Cartesianism, and the first-person viewpoint
Authors: van Mazijk Corijn 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe concept of mind is widely used in today’s debates on the lives, behavior, and cognition of prehistoric hominins. It is therefore presumably an important concept. Yet it is very rarely defined, and in most cognitive-archaeological literature, it does not seem to point to anything distinctive. In recent years, talk of minds has also been criticized as being internalistic and dualistic, in supposed contrast to new materialistic and externalistic approaches. In this paper, I aim to defend a different concept of mind which can be used in theorizing about prehistoric hominin cognition. In short, my concept is simply that of the first-person viewpoint, understood in a naturalized manner, and as characterized by intentionality. The discussion proceeds by examining what I perceive to be three prevailing misconceptions about minds, which I derive mainly from the archaeological literature. I use this discussion to outline my own concept of mind, as well as to defend it against the frequently heard criticisms of dualism and internalism. In the final parts, I briefly discuss some potential practical applications of an intentional approach to past minds. Here I focus on certain conceptual problems in debates on symbolic cognition.
Stranger things: the vanishing of the Altmetric Attention Score values in information and library science
Authors: Arroyo-Machado Wenceslao , Torres-Salinas Daniel 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis study investigates the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) fluctuations and altmetrics source stability in Information Science & Library Sciences publications, analyzing 26,474 documents from 2012 to 2021. It finds that 23.7% of these publications experienced AAS fluctuations over a year. Significant influences on AAS variability include Twitter mentions and policy documents, with Twitter mentions showing high volatility, affecting nearly 30% of papers. The removal of the Analysis & Policy Observatory as a policy source led to a notable drop in policy document mentions. Various types of mention vanishing are identified, such as administrative decisions by altmetrics aggregators, technological issues, user actions on digital platforms, and natural changes on platforms like Wikipedia. In response, the study proposes modifications in the tracking and monitoring system of mentions to not overlook these vanishings. This aims to enhance the reliability and stability of altmetrics at a time when there is a call for their use in the research evaluation.
A complex transdisciplinary approach to achieve water sustainability: lessons from a case study in Morelia, Mexico
Authors: Ruggerio Carlos Alberto , Lindig-Cisneros Roberto , Méndez-Lemus Yadira 
Published: April 2024

AbstractAlthough the theoretical–methodological complexity theory and transdisciplinary approach is increasingly accepted within sustainability science, its application at local-scale work with rural communities in the global south is still incipient and requires further research on its scope and limitations. The general objective of this work was to contribute to the knowledge on how a complexity and transdisciplinary approach applied to water problems at local scales can facilitate the process for water sustainability. The research took as study area the ejido of Coro Grande located in the municipality of Morelia, in the rural vicinity of Morelia City, capital of Michoacán State (Mexico). The theoretical–methodological scheme was based on the combination of the concepts of complexity–sustainability–transdisciplinarity to analyze the local water metabolism and generate actions to mitigate present and future water risk. The activities carried out involved a participatory diagnosis and the development of activities for the restoration of degraded environments with a double purpose: to generate conditions for the water sustainability of the system, and to promote the involvement of the population in a transdisciplinary research–action process. The results obtained show the effectiveness of the framework chosen to identify problems, achieve transformation in the short term, and improve both ecosystem functions and participation of the population in the solution of problems in the medium and long terms.
Hotel employees’ intention not to waste food: The role of environmental concern

Published: April 2024

AbstractDrawing on the theory of planned behavior, the current research examined the effect of moral norms and injunctive norms on hotel employees’ intention not to waste food. Besides, the moderating role of environmental concern was also investigated. Data were collected from 586 food and beverage employees in Egyptian hotels, by quantile regression, which allows us to obtain results for the median individual and for those who are wasteful (below the median). The results show that developing moral and injunctive norms is helpful in reducing food expenditure in the median employee (q = 0.5). However, if the focus is on the most wasteful employee (q < 0.3), the way to reverse this behavior is to develop norms more related to what an employee should or should not do in relation to food waste (injunctive norms) and less related to the feeling of guilt (moral norms). In addition, general environmental concern increases the positive effect of injunctive norms on the intention not to waste food for the wasteful employees, which was not the case for the median employee. These results help to orient information and training policies for employees to reduce food waste in the hotel industry and, from a theoretical point of view, a novel analysis is carried out by comparing employees with different intentions to behave responsibly.
Flow-induced vibration of two tandem square cylinders at low Reynolds number: transitions among vortex-induced vibration, biased oscillation and galloping
Authors: Zhang Cheng , Tang Guoqiang , Lu Lin , Jin Yan , An Hongwei , Cheng Liang 
Published: April 2024

The flow-induced vibrations (FIVs) of two identical tandem square cylinders with mass ratio m* = 3.5 at Reynolds number Re = 150 are investigated through two-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS) and linear stability analysis over a parameter range of spacing ratio 1.5 ≤ L* ≤ 5 and reduced velocity 3 ≤ Ur ≤ 34. Three kinds of FIV responses, namely vortex-induced vibration (VIV), biased oscillation (BO) and galloping (GA), are identified. The FIVs are then further classified into the branches of initial VIV (IV), resonant VIV (RV and RV′), flutter-induced VIV (FV), desynchronized VIV (DV), VIV developing from GA (GV), transitional state between VIV and GA (TR), BO and GA based on the characteristics of the vibration responses. The transitions among different FIV branches are examined by combining the DNS with linear stability analysis, where the transition boundaries among the VIV, BO and GA branches over the concerned parameters are identified on the branch maps. The transition from IV to RV or RV′ is found to be related to the unstable wake mode, while the FV, transiting from RV or RV′, is induced by the unstable structural factor in the wake-structure mode. The structural instability is considered as the physical origin of GA, whereas the mode competition between unstable wake and structure leads to DV, GV and TR, and thus delays the appearance of GA. The transition from DV to BO with biased equilibrium position, accompanied by the even-order harmonic frequencies, is essentially induced by the symmetry breaking bifurcation.
How Gap Measures Determine Results: The Case of Proportional Systems and the Gender Mobilization Gap
Authors: Morgan-Collins Mona 
Published: April 2024

AbstractHow scholars conceptualize and measure the gender gap in mobilization can have profound consequences for substantive conclusions. Scholars typically refer to a difference between women and men's turnout (difference-in-proportions measure) or a fraction of women voters among all voters (proportion measure). Using the case of proportional representation (PR) reform in Norway, I demonstrate that, in the context of low men's turnout, the proportion measure indicates that PR narrows the gap, while the difference-in-proportion measure indicates that it widens the gap. This is because mobilizing fewer women than men widens the difference between women and men's turnout, but may constitute a greater proportional increase in women's mobilization compared to men when only a few men (and even fewer women) vote. These findings bring together seemingly opposing arguments in the PR-gap debate and have wide implications for the study of ‘gaps’ within and beyond gender scholarship.
BILINGUALISM AND GREEK IDENTITY IN THE FIFTH CENTURYb.c.e.
Authors: James Dylan 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe study of bi- and multilingualism in the ancient Mediterranean has come into its own in recent decades. The evidence is far greater for the Hellenistic and Roman periods than the Classical, so naturally scholarly attention has focussed less on the earlier era. This has led to some enduring notions about bilingualism in the fifth centuryb.c.e.which are yet to be fully scrutinized, including the idea that a Greek's speaking another tongue was inherently transgressive. What did it mean for a Greek to speak a second language? This article re-evaluates the evidence for individual bilingualism in Herodotus and Thucydides in their fifth-century context, focussed on our two best-documented examples of bilingual Greek individuals (Histiaeus of Miletus and Themistocles of Athens). Close reading of Herodotus and Thucydides suggests that not only does the notion of an inherently transgressive bilingualism hold little water for this period, but bilingualism may even be a sign ofμῆτις.
FROM FEMALE MORALITY TO HUMAN DIGNITY: AN EVOLUTIVE INTERPRETATION OF ‘HONOUR’ UNDER ARTICLE 27(2) OF THE FOURTH GENEVA CONVENTION
Authors: Marconi Rachele 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis article suggests a new interpretative framework for Article 27(2) of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits sexual violence against women in armed conflict. One specific aspect of this norm is particularly controversial: the notion of ‘honour’ has often been criticised as an obsolete concept linked to an outdated view of female morality. In the absence of a definition of the term, this article examines whether the gendered limitations of the norm can be overcome and the extent to which an evolutive interpretation of the concept is feasible. It argues that the concept of ‘honour’ can be treated as a generic term that is subject to evolutive interpretation, allowing for a renewed and gender-sensitive understanding to be developed, aligned with the concept of human dignity.

AbstractBackgroundOesophageal soft food bolus obstruction is a common presentation to emergency departments. Often these patients are given medication with little evidence of efficacy. Although many cases self-resolve, some require removal of the obstruction. Delay in removal can lead to complications such as oesophageal perforation and mediastinitis. Traditionally, removal was performed by ENT surgeons using rigid oesophagoscopy, but oesophago-gastro duodenoscopy offers a safer alternative that does not require a general anaesthetic.MethodThe current performance, pathways and outcomes of patients attending emergency departments across three health boards in Scotland were reviewed.ResultsIn total, 313 patients admitted for oesophageal soft food bolus obstruction were identified. Mixed practice for a single common presentation was observed. In addition, it was found that the majority of patients are already managed by surgery and gastroenterology services with good outcomes and low morbidity.ConclusionPatients presenting with soft food bolus obstruction should be referred to local surgery and gastroenterology services in the first instance.
