AbstractThe application of augmented reality in training health science students is increasingly widespread. The aim of this work was to assess the usability and user expectations of an augmented reality application for smart glasses (Microsoft HoloLens) that can be used to train on four invasive procedures (i.e. intramuscular injection, nasogastric tube insertion, endotracheal intubation and suctioning via tracheostomy tube). A descriptive study was conducted with nursing students from three Spanish universities. Participants answered a questionnaire to assess the use of the ARSim2care application. This application offers the possibility of visualizing the internal anatomical structures during the training of the clinical technical skills for the performance of the mentioned invasive techniques. The questionnaire included demographic data, the System Usability Scale and questions about the user expectations in relation to learning with the use of augmented reality. In total, 61 participants responded to the questionnaire after using the ARSim2care application. The mean score of the System Usability Scale was 73.15 (standard deviation: 15.04) and 62.4% (n = 38) of the participants considered their experience with the application as excellent or good. In relation to user expectations, more than 90% of students indicated that the use of the application could improve their motivation and stimulation in learning, their content retention and their anatomical understanding. The developed ARSim2care application for Microsoft HoloLens showed a high level of usability and acceptance as a learning tool for training certain clinical procedures by visualizing the internal structures of the body.

Published: April 2024

AbstractResearch interest in autonomous control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased rapidly over the past decade. They are now widely used in civilian, military, and private areas. Applications include surveillance, search and rescue, and delivery tasks. More broadly, they excel at solving problems where a significant amount of space must be covered and traveled. However, using UAVs to solve navigation problems with full autonomy necessitates the mastering of complex subtasks. A solution that includes control, planning, localization, and mapping remains an open challenge. Object-goal navigation contains the same navigation problems where the main objective is to reach a target object. The search and identification of this target are central to the vehicle’s navigation. This requires an understanding of what it is and where it can be located to move around the scene. This paper presents a systematic literature review on object-goal navigation and its subtasks, using autonomous UAVs. Survey taxonomies were found for the tasks and methods behind navigation and target localization problems using UAVs. The review analyzed 67 articles found between 2011 and 2022. They were found in the ACM, IEEE Xplore, WebOfScience, Science Direct, and Scopus databases. This review revealed essential issues related to autonomous navigation task dependencies. Moreover, it highlighted gaps in UAV development and framework standardization. Open challenges for autonomous UAV control for object-goal navigation must address the research on finding methods for problems. For example, autonomy level and comparison metrics, considering safety, ethics, and legal implications.
Solving the uncapacitated facility location problem under uncertainty: a hybrid tabu search with path-relinking simheuristic approach
Authors: Peidro David , Martin Xabier A. , Panadero Javier , Juan Angel A. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe uncapacitated facility location problem (UFLP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem that finds practical applications in several fields, such as logistics and telecommunication networks. While the existing literature primarily focuses on the deterministic version of the problem, real-life scenarios often involve uncertainties like fluctuating customer demands or service costs. This paper presents a novel algorithm for addressing the UFLP under uncertainty. Our approach combines a tabu search metaheuristic with path-relinking to obtain near-optimal solutions in short computational times for the determinisitic version of the problem. The algorithm is further enhanced by integrating it with simulation techniques to solve the UFLP with random service costs. A set of computational experiments is run to illustrate the effectiveness of the solving method.

AbstractNi-based bi- and trimetallic Mn, Mg and aluminum containing catalysts prepared by the solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method were tested in dry reforming of methane (DRM). As a comparison 12 wt.% Ni/α-Al2O3 catalyst prepared by wet impregnation was also investigated. The catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, N2 physisorption, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD, NH3-TPD, TPO, CHNS, TGA, SEM and TEM. Formation of crystalline MnAl2O4 was observed at high temperatures during SCS. The average nickel particle size varied in the range of 12–36 nm. Addition of Mn promoted reduction of Ni and elevated the amount and strength of the basic sites.

Published: April 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to compare the breastfeeding (BF) duration of the younger siblings of children with ASD in an enriched-likelihood cohort for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to determine whether longer BF duration was associated with differences in neurodevelopmental outcomes in this cohort. Information on BF practices was collected via surveys in the MARBLES (Markers of Autism Risk in Babies-Learning Early Signs) study. Developmental evaluations, including the Mullen Scales of Early Learning and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, were conducted by expert clinicians. Participants’ neurodevelopmental outcome was classified by an algorithm into three groups: typical development, ASD, and non-typical development. The median duration of BF was 10.70 months (interquartile range of 12.07 months). There were no significant differences in the distribution of duration of BF among the three neurodevelopmental outcome categories. Children in this enriched-likelihood cohort who were breastfed for > 12 months had significantly higher scores on cognitive testing compared to those who were breastfed for 0–3 months. There was no significant difference in ASD symptomatology or ASD risk based on BF duration.

AbstractRecent studies suggest that arthropod diversity in German forests is declining. Currently, different national programs are being developed to monitor arthropod trends and to unravel the effects of forest management on biodiversity in forests. To establish effective long-term monitoring programs, a set of drivers of arthropod diversity and composition as well as suitable species groups have to be identified. To aid in answering these questions, we investigated arthropod data collected in four Hessian forest reserves (FR) in the 1990s. To fully utilize this data set, we combined it with results from a retrospective structural sampling design applied at the original trap locations in central European beech (Fagus sylvatica) forests. As expected, the importance of the different forest structural, vegetation, and site attributes differed largely between the investigated arthropod groups: beetles, spiders, Aculeata, and true bugs. Measures related to light availability and temperature such as canopy cover or potential radiation were important to all groups affecting either richness, composition, or both. Spiders and true bugs were affected by the broadest range of explanatory variables, which makes them a good choice for monitoring general trends. For targeted monitoring focused on forestry-related effects on biodiversity, rove and ground beetles seem more suitable. Both groups were driven by a narrower, more management-related set of variables. Most importantly, our study approach shows that it is possible to utilize older biodiversity survey data. Although, in our case, there are strong restrictions due to the long time between species and structural attribute sampling.

AbstractAging is a physiological condition accomplished with persistent low-grade inflammation and metabolic disorders. FGF21 has been reported to act as a potent longevity determinant, involving inflammatory response and energy metabolism. In this study, we engineered aging FGF21 knockout mice of 36–40 weeks and observed that FGF21 deficiency manifests a spontaneous inflammatory response of lung and abnormal accumulation of lipids in liver. On one hand, inflamed state in lungs and increased circulating inflammatory cytokines were found in FGF21 knockout mice of 36–40 weeks. To evaluate the ability of FGF21 to suppress inflammation, a subsequent study found that FGF21 knockout aggravated LPS-induced pulmonary exudation and inflammatory infiltration in mice, while exogenous administration of FGF21 reversed these malignant phenotypes by enhancing microvascular endothelial junction. On the other hand, FGF21 knockout induces fatty liver in aging mice, characterized by excessive accumulation of triglycerides within hepatocytes. Further quantitative metabolomics and lipidomics analysis revealed perturbed metabolic profile in liver lacking FGF21, including disrupted glucose and lipids metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. Taken together, this investigation reveals the protective role of FGF21 during aging by weakening the inflammatory response and balancing energy metabolism.

Published: April 2024

AbstractWe propose a novel image-analysis based machine-learning approach to the fully-automated identification of the optical quality, of functional properties, and of manufacturing parameters in the field of 2D inkjet-printed test structures of conductive traces. To this end, a customizable modular concept to simultaneously identify or predict dissimilar properties of printed functional structures based on images is described and examined. An application domain of the concept in the printing production process is outlined. To examine performance, we develop a dataset of over 5000 test structures containing images and physical characteristics, which are manufactured using commercially available materials. Functional test structures are fabricated via a single-nozzle vector-based inkjet-printing system and thermally sintered. Physical characterization of electrical conductance, image capturing, and evaluation of the optical quality of the test structures is done by an automatic in-house built measurement station. Conceptionally, the design of a convolutional neural network is described to identify the optical quality and physical characteristics based only on acquired images. A mathematical apparatus that allows assessment of the identification accuracy is developed and described. The impact of printing resolution, of emerging defects in the geometry of printed structures, and of image quality and color space on the identification accuracy is analyzed. Quality groups related to the printing resolution that affect identification accuracy are determined. Supplementarily, we introduce not yet reported classification of processes related to the fabrication of printed functional structures, adopted from the process analytical technology.

Abstract

Background
Tumor embolism is a very rare primary manifestation of cancers and the diagnosis is challenging, especially if located in the pulmonary arteries, where it can mimic nonmalignant pulmonary embolism. Intimal sarcoma is one of the least commonly reported primary tumors of vessels with only a few cases reported worldwide. A typical location of this malignancy is the pulmonary artery. Herein, we present a case report of an intimal sarcoma with primary manifestation in the pulmonary arteries.

Case summary
A 53-year-old male initially presented with dyspnea. On imaging, a pulmonary artery embolism was detected and was followed by thrombectomy of the right ventricular outflow tract, main pulmonary artery trunk, and right pulmonary artery after ineffective lysis therapy. Complementary imaging of the chest and abdomen including a PET-CT scan demonstrated no evidence of a primary tumor. Subsequent pathology assessment suggested an intimal sarcoma further confirmed by DNA methylation based molecular analysis. We initiated adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin. Four months after the completion of adjuvant therapy a follow-up scan revealed a local recurrence without distant metastases.

Discussion
Primary pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma (PAS) is an exceedingly rare entity and pathological diagnosis remains challenging. Therefore, the detection of entity-specific molecular alterations is a supporting argument in the diagnostic spectrum. Complete surgical resection is the prognostically most important treatment for intimal cardiac sarcomas. Despite adjuvant chemotherapy, the prognosis of cardiac sarcomas remains very poor. This case of a PAS highlights the difficulty in establishing a diagnosis and the aggressive natural course of the disease.

Conclusion
In case of atypical presentation of a pulmonary embolism, a tumor originating from the great vessels should be considered. Molecular pathology techniques support in establishing a reliable diagnosis.
On the gradability of knowledge how, and its relationship to motor representations and ability
Authors: Young Garry 
Published: April 2024

AbstractIn this paper I defend the traditional anti-intellectualist claim that a form of knowing how to Φ (e.g., knowing how to play the guitar) exists that entails the ability to Φ (play the guitar), and that this knowledge cannot be reduced to propositions (such as ‘S knows a way w to Φ’, where w is a means of Φing). I also argue that S can know how to Φ in the absence of the ability to Φ, and for this knowledge to be likewise irreducible to propositions. This is made possible when one distinguishes between type and token actions. Moreover, I contend that type and token actions, and one’s ability to engage in them, are differentiated at the level of motor representations. Motor representations provide an alternate means of grading knowledge how to that presented by Carlotta Pavese, insofar as this form of gradable knowledge is likewise irreducible to propositions.

Abstract
Purpose
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has found wide applicability as a tool for assessing the environmental impacts of human activities in different fields such as manufacturing, mining, transportation, oil and gas, construction, and medicine. Despite the wide applicability of LCA globally, the uptake and use of the tool in Africa remains limited. This research is motivated by the need to explore the continental structure of life cycle assessment to ascertain the level of knowledge and research; collaboration amongst institutions, countries, and authors; keyword co-occurrence; thematic evolution; and bibliographic coupling.

Methods
Publications related to life cycle assessment were retrieved and cleaned from the Scopus database with the language restricted to English and only countries recognised by the African Union. VOSviewer (version 1.6.19) visualisation tool was used to construct and visualise the network maps of researchers, co-occurrence, co-authorships, and keywords. On the other hand, Bibliometrix was employed to carryout descriptive analysis and thematic evolution and to extract bibliographic information.

Results and discussion
In total, 616 research publications between 1992 and 2022 were retrieved. The results show that research on the subject matter picked up from 2004 and has been on the upward trend. South Africa, Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria are the top countries carrying out LCA research on the continent. In addition, the top authors, affiliations, and funders also come from these countries. It was also noted that there were low levels of cooperation between authors on the African continent; rather, they collaborate more with researchers in Europe, America, and other parts of the world. The built environment, construction industry, alternative energy, agriculture, and waste management and recycling are the major themes of research on the continent.

Conclusion
Life cycle assessment is gaining traction amongst researchers in Africa, albeit slowly. Considering the continents’ role in the future especially in providing critical raw materials needed for the transition to a carbon-neutral society in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), rapid uptake and embedding life cycle thinking in every sector of the African economy are needed. However, there is an urgent need to equip researchers with the skills to facilitate the development of a life cycle inventory (LCI) database at countries or continental level.
Editorial to the special issue on applications of complexity for resilient organizations, management and innovation systems

AbstractWelcome to the Special Issue on Applications of Complexity for Resilient Organizations, Management, and Innovation Systems. This Special Issue includes six articles highlighting how complexity science and complex systems approaches can be employed to study resilient aspects in organizations, management and innovation systems. Nowadays, governments, policy-makers, managers, firms, and organizations are requested to face challenges with possible and unpredictable disruptive events always more and more interconnected. Complexity science and complex systems approaches applied to economic and managerial systems allow to model the endogenous dynamics of a system as a whole and composed of heterogeneous interacting agents from the bottom up. Such models open the opportunity for a dynamic and systemic approach to investigate and improve the resilience of organizations and innovation systems. It is crucial to remark that both scholars and decision-makers collaborated on the Special Issue to better understand the advantages of using a systemic approach (i.e., complexity science and complex systems approaches) in areas where such methodologies have not been considered so far, i.e., organization, innovation, and management. To aid in this endeavor, the papers included in the Special Issue investigate different conceptual and methodological aspects applied in different contexts and open a new vista on the opportunity offered by complexity science and complex systems approaches to face research and professional questions in the areas of organization, management, and innovation.

Published: April 2024

AbstractPulse oximeters’ (POs) varying performance based on skin tones has been highly publicised. Compared to arterial blood gas analysis, POs tend to overestimate oxygen saturation (SpO2) values for people with darker skin (occult hypoxemia). The objective is to develop a test bench for assessing commercial home and hospital-based POs in controlled laboratory conditions. A laboratory simulator was used to mimic different SpO2 values (~ 70 to 100%). Different neutral density and synthetic melanin filters were used to reproduce low signal and varying melanin attenuation levels. Six devices consisting of commercial home (Biolight, N = 13; ChoiceMMed, N = 18; MedLinket, N = 9) and hospital-based (Masimo Radical 7 with Neo L, N = 1; GE B450 Masimo SET with LNCS Neo L, N = 1; Nonin 9550 Onyx II™, N = 1) POs were reviewed and their response documented. Significant variations were observed in the recorded SpO2 values among different POs when exposed to identical simulated signals. Differences were greatest for lower SpO2 (< 80%) where empirical data is limited. All PO responses under low signal and melanin attenuation did not change across various simulated SpO2 values. The bench tests do not provide conclusive evidence that melanin does not affect in vivo SpO2 measurements. Research in the areas of instrument calibration, theory and design needs to be further developed.

Published: April 2024

AbstractThis system-level ethnographic study of a strength-based approach to transforming a national invention education program makes visible how program leadership drew on research and their own expertise to shift who and how they served. With data analysis grounded in program reports, documentation, and internal and published research, the program’s developmental trajectory is (re)constructed and (re)presented with contextual details provided by program leadership to bring forward how facets of a strength-based approach informed the overtime transformation. Working in conjunction with program leadership to identify common design elements across new program offerings, this study presents this program’s principles for designing for instruction and considerations for curricular integration of invention education into K-14 educational institutions. Furthermore, how these principles align with a strength-based approach are discussed.
