Zooming in: The role of nonverbal behavior in sensing the quality of collaborative group engagement
Authors: Paneth Lisa , Jeitziner Loris T. , Rack Oliver , Opwis Klaus , Zahn Carmen 
Published: May 2024

AbstractSuccessful computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) relies on collaborative group engagement, a complex construct characterized by multifaceted, dynamic, socio-emotional, and socio-cognitive processes. This paper provides a detailed analysis of collaborative group engagement, with a particular focus on nonverbal behaviors as indicators of high versus low group engagement. Using video observations and a multi-method approach, we examine in detail the relationships between different dimensions of group engagement (i.e., behavioral, social, cognitive, and conceptual-to-consequential engagement) and nonverbal behaviors. Using qualitative case analysis, we also provide a rich examination of selected cases to identify the role that nonverbal behaviors play in high-engagement sequences compared with low-engagement sequences. Our findings shed light on specific nonverbal behaviors, including nodding, laughing, and eye contact, as significant indicators of high versus low collaborative group engagement. Notably, more of these nonverbal behaviors are evident in high-engagement sequences, suggesting mutual reinforcement on each dimension of engagement—with the exception of behavioral engagement, where increased laughing or smiling is evident in low-engagement sequences, but still serves a productive group process. The paper concludes with a discussion and implications of the findings. By demonstrating the role of nonverbal behaviors as important indicators, this work contributes to the understanding of the complex, dynamic, and contextualized nature of collaborative group engagement in CSCL settings.
Neue Wege in der Prävention des berufsbedingten Hautkrebses: Konzeption einer Podcast-Episode für Beschäftigte in Außenberufen
Authors: Ludewig Michaela , Raden Sophie-Theres , Skudlik Christoph , Rocholl Marc 
Published: May 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Podcasts haben sich als auditives Medium in der Wissenschaftskommunikation etabliert. Dabei sind Relevanz und Nutzung medizinischer Podcasts in den letzten Jahren angestiegen. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Konzeption einer Podcast-Episode für Beschäftigte in Außenberufen zur Prävention von berufsbedingtem Hautkrebs im Sinne der Berufskrankheit (BK)-Nummer (Nr.) 5103.

Methodik
Ausgangspunkt für die Konzeption der Podcast-Episode war eine Literaturrecherche in den Datenbanken PubMed, PSYNDEX und Cochrane Library mit dem Ziel, einen Überblick über die Forschungslandschaft zu gewinnen. Unter Berücksichtigung der Leitlinie evidenzbasierte Gesundheitsinformationen erfolgte die Konzeption einer Podcast-Episode, bei der ein Außenbeschäftigter zur Verzahnung von Theorie und Praxis eingebunden wurde. Im Rahmen der Erprobung erfolgte eine Fokusgruppendiskussionen zur Bewertung der Podcast-Episode durch 6 Adressat*innen.

Ergebnisse
Im Rahmen der Literaturrecherche konnten 3 Studien identifiziert werden. Diese geben einen Überblick über englischsprachige Podcasts im Bereich der Dermatologie, die verschiedene Formate aufweisen und sich an verschiedene Personengruppen (u. a. Patient*innen) richten. Zudem wurde eine 16-minütige Podcast-Episode konzipiert, aufgezeichnet und mit Adressat*innen erprobt: Diese bewerteten die Episode positiv, schätzen die ausgewählten Inhalte als sehr gut verständlich ein, zeigten jedoch auch weiteren, über dieses Angebot hinausgehenden Informationsbedarf auf.

Schlussfolgerung
Die Ergebnisse der Literaturrecherche verdeutlichen, dass Arbeiten zu deutschsprachigen Podcasts bislang fehlen. Unsere Untersuchung deutet auf Potenziale des Mediums im Anwendungsgebiet der Berufsdermatologie hin.

Published: May 2024

Zusammenfassung
Fragestellung
Delinquentes Verhalten ist ein häufiges Phänomen in der Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen und stellt in der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie bzw. -psychotherapie keinen seltenen Vorstellungsgrund dar. Allerdings fehlen empirische Untersuchungen zur Versorgungssituation von delinquenten Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland. Mit der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde erstmals deutschlandweit versucht zu erfassen, wie häufig im Bereich der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie und -psychotherapie Behandler_innen mit delinquentem Verhalten ihrer Patient_innen konfrontiert sind, welche Versorgungskonzepte bestehen, und in welchem Umfang eine gutachterliche Tätigkeit erfolgt.

Methodik
Im Rahmen einer Online-Befragung äußerten sich insgesamt 217 Fachkräfte aus dem Bereich der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie und -psychotherapie dazu, wie häufig, in welchen Kontexten (Begutachtung, [teil-]stationäre und ambulante Versorgung) und mit welchen Methoden sie mit delinquenten Kindern und Jugendlichen arbeiten.

Ergebnisse
Aus den Angaben ließ sich ableiten, dass Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater_innen und -psychotherapeut_innen zwar regelmäßig mit delinquenten Minderjährigen zu tun haben, es aber gleichzeitig nur wenige spezialisierte Behandlungsangebote zu geben scheint. Außerdem bildete sich hinsichtlich der gutachterlichen Tätigkeiten eine große Heterogenität hinsichtlich Quantität und Methoden ab.

Schlussfolgerungen
Implikation für die Praxis im Sinne der Erweiterung und Spezifizierung entsprechender Angebote für delinquente Kinder und Jugendliche, aber auch in Bezug auf die Sicherstellung der Qualifizierung der für sie zuständigen Fachkräfte, werden diskutiert.
Connecting value creation for society with work engagement: the relevance of an organization’s public value as an extension of the job characteristics model
Authors: Meynhardt Timo , Hermann Carolin , Bardeli Jessica 
Published: May 2024

AbstractSince the seminal work by Hackman and Oldham (1975) there has been a growing body of literature demonstrating how work characteristics can positively both organizations and their employees. While the very nature of the task or job at hand is well explored, insufficient attention has been given to the social and cultural context in which the work is done (Spreitzer & Cameron, 2012). Based on Meynhardt’s public value approach (2009, 2015), we investigate whether organizational public value acts as an additional work characteristic in the Job Characteristics Model (JCM), thus extending the model. Specifically, we theorize that organizational public value is an additional unique resource for employees and social context work characteristic in the JCM that is positively related to employees work engagement. Additionally, our study analyzes that the positive relationship between the work characteristics, including organizational public value, and work engagement is mediated by self-efficacy. Moreover, we analyze whether employees working in industries with a public focus integrated into their core business will experience higher levels of public value in their jobs than employees in other industries. To test our hypotheses, we conducted a representative online survey in different public and non-public organizations in Switzerland (N = 949). Overall, the results support our hypotheses and contribute to close the gap by taking social context factors into the JCM and to reveal processes between the macro-level (organizational public value, work characteristics) and micro-level (employees work experience). Further theoretical and practical implications as well as future research avenues are discussed in the paper.

Published: May 2024

AbstractWith the progress in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technology, accurate geoid modelling has started to play an essential role in geodetic applications such as establishing height datum as a continuous surface model and related vertical control for infrastructure projects. Thus, numerous geoid modelling methods have been offered since 1990’s, each of them has its own algorithm and approximation theories. Classical Stokes-Helmert is one of the most well-known methods all over the world by geodetic communities. However, a user-friendly software package of the method is not publicly accessible on the Internet. Therefore, a compact and user-friendly software package “CSHSOFT” is developed and presented for scholars in this field. A fractionated programming strategy has been treated to build individual components striving high accuracy and computational efficiency for geoid heights. Subsequently, the CSHSOFT is simply tested to construct a geoid model in the mountainous area in Auvergne test-bed where several geoid modelling techniques are implemented. Afterward, the new geoid model of the region is externally evaluated by GNSS-levelling data in terms of rigorous orthometric heights. The fitting statistics of 2.75 cm and 0.36 ppm in absolute and relative height differences fairly indicate that the CSHSOFT is a vigorous tool for gravimetric geoid modelling, and can be comfortably employed for geoscientific and technical studies.
Line arrangements with many triple points
Authors: Kühne Lukas , Szemberg Tomasz , Tutaj-Gasińska Halszka 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we construct an infinite series of line arrangements in characteristic two, each featuring only triple intersection points. This finding challenges the existing conjecture that suggests the existence of only a finite number of such arrangements, regardless of the characteristic. Leveraging the theory of matroids and employing computer algebra software, we rigorously examine the existence and non-existence across various characteristics of line arrangements with up to 19 lines maximizing the number of triple intersection points.
Towards efficient conflict mitigation in the converged 6G Open RAN control plane
Authors: Corici Marius , Modroiu Ramona , Eichhorn Fabian , Troudt Eric , Magedanz Thomas 
Published: May 2024

AbstractWith the centralization of the RAN control functionality, a very large number of near real-time network optimization use cases have emerged. Until now, each of them has been implemented and validated as isolated network management functions, named xApps in Open RAN terminology. To be able to progress towards realistic, commercially deployable functionality, comprehensive conflict mitigation is needed, because the complete isolation of these xApps would result in conflicting decisions and instability. In this article, we study how the majority of these use cases can be implemented harmoniously, to create an enhanced RAN control plane, underlining the functionality required from the central units of the RAN, the grouping, and the interaction of the network management decision. Analyzing the gap existing in the O-RAN architecture, we identify the functionality needed and propose a management framework. Furthermore, we present an implementation roadmap for the development of such functionality as part of the Fraunhofer FOKUS Open5GCore toolkit, as a reference for how such functionality can be prototyped, validated, and integrated with external algorithms easily, to benefit from the large body of academic research.
Interleukin-12 in multimodal tumor therapies for induction of anti-tumor immunity
Authors: Xu Yulian , Sun Xueli , Tong Yunguang 
Published: May 2024

AbstractInterleukin-12 (IL-12) can be used as an immunomodulator in cancer immunotherapy. And it has demonstrated enormous potential in inhibiting tumor growth and improving the tumor microenvironment (TME) by several preclinical models. However, some disappointing results have showed in the early clinical trials when IL-12 used as a single agent for systemic cancer therapy. Combination therapy is an effective way to significantly fulfill the great potential of IL-12 as an immunomodulator. Here, we discuss the effects of IL-12 combined with traditional methods (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery), targeted therapy or immunotherapy in the preclinical and clinical studies. Moreover, we summarized the potential mechanism underlying the anti-tumor effect of IL-12 in the combination strategies. And we also discussed the delivery methods and tumor-targeted modification of IL-12 and outlines future prospects for IL-12 as an immunomodulator.
Development and validation of a nomogram integrating marital status for 5-year overall survival of chondrosarcoma: a population-based study
Authors: Xie Chengxin , Jiang Ruiyuan , Wang Chenglong , Lei Xinhuan , Lu Kaicheng , Luo Hua 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Objectives
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of marital status on overall survival (OS) and develop a nomogram for predicting 5-year OS in chondrosarcoma (CHS) patients.

Methods
We utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to identify CHS patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2018. Survival rates were calculated using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Prognostic factors were identified through univariate and multivariate analyses. An independent cohort was used for external validation of the nomogram. Performance evaluation of the nomogram was conducted using Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration plot, and decision curve analysis (DCA).

Results
In the SEER cohort, Kaplan–Meier analysis showed significant differences in OS among CHS patients with different marital statuses (P < 0.001), with widowed patients having the lowest OS. In terms of gender, there were significant survival differences based on marital status in females (P < 0.001), but not in males (P = 0.067). The OS of married and single females is significantly higher than that of married (P < 0.001) and single male (P = 0.006), respectively. Kaplan–Meier curves showed no significant difference in OS between groups stratified by either gender or marital status in the external cohort. Univariate and multivariate analyses confirmed that age at diagnosis, gender, marital status, tumor size, histological type, tumor grade, SEER stage, and surgery were independent prognostic factors for OS. The nomogram demonstrated high internal and external validation C-indexes of 0.818 and 0.88, respectively. Calibration plots, DCA curve, and Kaplan–Meier curve (P < 0.001) confirmed the excellent performance and clinical utility of the nomogram.

Conclusions
Marital status was an independent factor influencing OS in CHS patients, with widowed patients having the worst prognosis. The OS of both married and single females is significantly higher than that of their male counterparts. However, these findings require further validation in a large independent cohort. While the contribution of marital status on predicting OS appears modest, our nomogram accurately predicted 5-year OS and identified high-risk groups, providing a valuable tool for clinical decision-making.
Sarcopenic Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease: An Overlooked but High-Risk Syndrome
Authors: Mirzai Saeid , Carbone Salvatore , Batsis John A. , Kritchevsky Stephen B. , Kitzman Dalane W. , Shapiro Michael D. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Sarcopenic obesity (SO), defined as the coexistence of excess fat mass and reduced skeletal muscle mass and strength, has emerged as an important cardiovascular risk factor, particularly in older adults. This review summarizes recent findings on the diagnosis, prevalence, health impacts, and treatment of SO.

Recent Findings
Growing evidence suggests SO exacerbates cardiometabolic risk and adverse health outcomes beyond either condition alone; however, the heterogeneity in diagnostic criteria and the observational nature of most studies prohibit the evaluation of a causal relationship. This is concerning given that SO is increasing with the aging population, although that is also difficult to assess accurately given wide-ranging prevalence estimates. A recent consensus definition proposed by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism and the European Association for the Study of Obesity provides a framework of standardized criteria to diagnose SO.

Summary
Adopting uniform diagnostic criteria for SO will enable more accurate characterization of prevalence and cardiometabolic risk moving forward. Although current management revolves around diet for weight loss coupled with resistance training to mitigate further muscle loss, emerging pharmacologic therapies have shown promising results. As the global population ages, diagnosing and managing SO will become imperative to alleviate the cardiovascular burden.
Coastal and maritime cultural heritage: from the European Union to East Asia and Latin America
Authors: Delaney Alyne E. , Frangoudes Katia 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIntroducing the Special Collection on Coastal and Maritime Cultural Heritage, this article focuses on the cultural heritage of coastal regions and maritime cultures and presents a summary of threats and topics found in recent cultural heritage research, especially around the themes of governance, resilience, transformation, and power (including gender and marginalization). Cultural heritage (CH) is a super-concept: it connects a wide diversity of heritage types (tangible and intangible), and cuts across a variety of public policies. Yet coastal and maritime cultural heritage (CMCH) faces risks from conflicts, environmental hazards, and from a neglect arising from lack of understanding and consideration of its value. Additional risks from governmental Blue Growth policies and economic factors put CH at even greater risk. As cultural heritage is increasingly being tapped for its economic importance in development and tourism– and neglected in maritime policy– greater scholarly understandings and conceptualization of CMCH are needed. This special collection is one step in the direction towards further understandings, protections, and utilization of CH for coastal societies and culture. As economic valuations increase, however, we should not forget that cultural heritage in and of itself holds intrinsic value. Looking across Europe and the world, coastal peoples’ cultural heritage tells us a story of generations of linkages and bonds with coastal environments. Such CH imparts a sense of place and belonging to people, and connects people to one another, their pasts, and their futures. We hope this Special Collection provides a sense of the beauty of CMCH and inspires further exploration and research around this super-concept.
Minorities’ Diminished Psychedelic Returns: Income and Educations Impact on Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians
Authors: Vina Sean Matthew 
Published: May 2024

AbstractGrowing evidence suggests that the race and ethnic minority population may experience fewer protective effects of psychedelics on mental health. The minority diminished psychedelic returns theory proposes that racism, manifested in socioeconomic inequality, could partially account for the smaller health gains observed. Therefore, it is important to investigate whether socioeconomic inequality reduces the impact of psychedelics on health outcomes for minority populations. Additionally, despite having higher socioeconomic status, it remains unclear whether psychedelic use among minorities is associated with the same level of health benefits as observed in non-Hispanic whites. This study utilizes data from the National Survey of Drug Use (N = 2008 to 2019), which involved 458,372 participants aged 18 and above. The objective is to examine the impact of various psychedelics (MDMA, psilocybin, DMT, ayahuasca, peyote/mescaline, and LSD), as well as lifetime classic psychedelics use (LCPU), on psychological distress in the past month, taking into account socioeconomic factors (education level and family income) and race/ethnic differences (White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian). The analysis employed a series of nested ordinary least-square regression models using Stata 18. The results indicate that, after controlling for socioeconomic status, there is no association between Black and Hispanic psychedelic use and distress. However, white psychedelic use remains associated with lower levels of distress. Additionally, despite having higher levels of education and income, psychedelic use among minority groups does not appear to be linked to reduced stress. In fact, for Asians with higher education and income, certain psychedelic use is associated with increased distress.
Solving puzzles using knowledge-based automation: biomimicry of human solvers
Authors: Fauzia Syifa , Chen Sean , Hsu Ren-Jung , Chen Rex , Chen Chi-Ming 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe human brain’s remarkable efficiency in solving puzzles through pictorial information processing serves as a valuable inspiration for computational puzzle solving. In this study, we present a nucleation algorithm for automated puzzle solving, developed based on statistical analysis of an empirical database. This algorithm effectively solves puzzles by choosing pieces with infrequent and iridescent edges as nucleation centers, followed by the identification of neighboring pieces with high resemblances from the remaining puzzle pieces. For the 8 different pictures examined in this study, both empirical data and computer simulations consistently demonstrate a power-law relationship between solving time and the number of puzzle pieces, with an exponent less than 2. We explain this relationship through the nucleation model and explore how the exponent is influenced by the color pattern of the puzzle picture. Moreover, our investigation of puzzle-solving processes reveals distinct principal pathways, akin to protein folding behavior. Our study contributes to the development of a cognitive model for human puzzle solving and color pattern recognition.

Published: May 2024

AbstractPhase change materials (PCMs) offer a promising solution to address the challenges posed by intermittency and fluctuations in solar thermal utilization. However, for organic solid–liquid PCMs, issues such as leakage, low thermal conductivity, lack of efficient solar-thermal media, and flammability have constrained their broad applications. Herein, we present an innovative class of versatile composite phase change materials (CPCMs) developed through a facile and environmentally friendly synthesis approach, leveraging the inherent anisotropy and unidirectional porosity of wood aerogel (nanowood) to support polyethylene glycol (PEG). The wood modification process involves the incorporation of phytic acid (PA) and MXene hybrid structure through an evaporation-induced assembly method, which could impart non-leaking PEG filling while concurrently facilitating thermal conduction, light absorption, and flame-retardant. Consequently, the as-prepared wood-based CPCMs showcase enhanced thermal conductivity (0.82 W m−1 K−1, about 4.6 times than PEG) as well as high latent heat of 135.5 kJ kg−1 (91.5% encapsulation) with thermal durability and stability throughout at least 200 heating and cooling cycles, featuring dramatic solar-thermal conversion efficiency up to 98.58%. In addition, with the synergistic effect of phytic acid and MXene, the flame-retardant performance of the CPCMs has been significantly enhanced, showing a self-extinguishing behavior. Moreover, the excellent electromagnetic shielding of 44.45 dB was endowed to the CPCMs, relieving contemporary health hazards associated with electromagnetic waves. Overall, we capitalize on the exquisite wood cell structure with unidirectional transport inherent in the development of multifunctional CPCMs, showcasing the operational principle through a proof-of-concept prototype system.
