Tipping Away from Coal?: Exploring Narratives and Tipping Dynamics in the Phaseout of Coal on Svalbard
Authors: Veland Siri , Nogueira Leticia Antunes , Steiro Vida Marie Daae 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis chapter explores societal tipping points in energy transitions in the Arctic through the case of the phasing out of coal mining on Svalbard. The economy of the region, which has high geopolitical importance in the Arctic, was founded based on extractivism. More than a century ago, coal mining not only consolidated as Svalbard’s main industrial activity, but also crystalized in the region’s identity and in Norway’s strategy for sustaining its presence on the archipelago. International agreements and debates concerning green transitions, in combination with fluctuating coal prices and ageing infrastructure, have provoked the emergence of various narratives concerning the future of the archipelago. These narratives entail both low-carbon alternatives for the local economy, and alternative energy sources to power human life on Svalbard. This chapter examines these narratives, focusing on the interplay between demographic and socio-economic developments of the past 20 years. Several kinds of societal tipping points can be observed, from politico-economic to demographic and socio-cultural tipping points. The question remains, however, whether the Svalbard case also exemplifies tipping points in the biophysical dimensions of social-ecological systems. This will in large part depend on the ability to find viable energy alternatives that harmonize with regional geopolitical security.
Confronting Local and Global Tipping Narratives: Green Energy Development in the Arctic and Why Greenland Is Not for Sale
Authors: Hansen Anne Merrild , Tàbara J. David 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis research addresses a confrontation of narratives usually overlooked in global-local discourses about green energy futures by focusing on the case of Greenland. On the one hand, the call for keeping the vast amounts of Greenland’s fossil fuel deposits in the ground, as one of the most efficient and fastest strategies to limit global GHG emissions and avoid a climate catastrophe -hence preventing a negative global climate tipping point. And on the other, the need to exploit and provide alternative mineral resources for the global green energy transformation – hence enabling a global positive tipping point towards a sustainable development trajectory. For that, we trace the historical local conditions and events that eventually led towards green development trajectory pathways. These include indigenous groups’ opposition to oil drilling in the Arctic waters and more recently, the consideration of alternative resource governance mechanisms in support of a low-carbon transformation. We argue that overcoming such confrontation requires reconciling both Natural Resource Justice with Earth System Justice principles that consider the rights, needs, worldviews, and institutional traditions of local communities. Among them, the impossibility of privately owning land across generations in Greenland stems as a possible example of disruptive tipping intervention on how Western societies could learn to relate to biophysical systems in more sustainable ways to cope with accelerated global environmental change.
Tipping Points. Deep Roots and Contemporary Challenges in Psychology
Authors: Sarrica Mauro , Cottone Paolo , Biddau Fulvio 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAs an object of study, tipping points raise several questions for psychology. Unless one wants to use this term as a generic metaphor to indicate sudden change, any attempt to better define this concept has to take into account some fundamental psychological features including acceptance, promotion or resistance to change, the relationship between quantitative and qualitative transformations, the dynamics between individual, social and societal levels, and the relationship between psychological and environmental changes. All these facets refer to classical approaches and theorisations developed in the early 1900s as well as to more recent systemic models, including societal and cultural psychology approaches and proposals for a socio-ecological psychology. In this chapter, we will identify points of contact with classics such as Insights and Dynamics of field forces, Cognitive dissonance, Grievance, Bounded rationality, Coping, and Socio-dynamical approaches to social representations. Moreover, looking at the recent literature, we will highlight advances in our understanding of tipping points provided by cognitive, socioecological and systemic models. Common to all these views is the attempt to describe and explain the processes that favour or hinder qualitative transformation, both in terms of its perception and its enactment. In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the different approaches mentioned, which should be read more as an agenda for future research rather than an exhaustive review of state of the art.

Momentum portfolio selection based on learning-to-rank algorithms with heterogeneous knowledge graphs
Authors: Wu Mei-Chen , Huang Szu-Hao , Chen An-Pin 
Published: March 2024

AbstractArtificial intelligence techniques for financial time series analysis have been used to enhance momentum trading methods. However, most previous studies, which have treated stocks as independent entities, have overlooked the significance of correlations among individual stocks, thus compromising portfolio performance. To address this gap, a momentum trading framework is proposed that combines heterogeneous data, such as corporate governance factors and financial domain knowledge, to model the relationships between stocks. Our approach involves adopting a knowledge graph embedding approach to map relations among heterogeneous relationships in the data, which is then utilized to train a multitask supervised learning approach based on a learning-to-rank algorithm. This method culminates in a robust portfolio selection method on the basis of the framework. Experimental results using data from the Taiwan Stock Exchange demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms traditional linear models and other machine learning methods in predictive ability. The investment portfolio constructed serves as an invaluable aid to investment decision-making.
LIPUS regulates the progression of knee osteoarthritis in mice through primary cilia-mediated TRPV4 channels

Published: March 2024

AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly people. An imbalance in calcium ion homeostasis will contribute to chondrocyte apoptosis and ultimately lead to the progression of OA. Transient receptor potential channel 4 (TRPV4) is involved in the regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis. TRPV4 is expressed in primary cilia, which can sense mechanical stimuli from outside the cell, and its abnormal expression is closely related to the development of OA. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can alleviate chondrocyte apoptosis while the exact mechanism is unclear. In this project, with the aim of revealing the mechanism of action of LIPUS, we proposed to use OA chondrocytes and animal models, LIPUS intervention, inhibition of primary cilia, use TRPV4 inhibitors or TRPV4 agonist, and use Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB), Quantitative Real-time PCR (QP) to detect the expression of cartilage synthetic matrix and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers. The results revealed that LIPUS altered primary cilia expression, promoted synthetic matrix metabolism in articular chondrocytes and was associated with primary cilia. In addition, LIPUS exerted a active effect on OA by activating TRPV4, inducing calcium inward flow, and facilitating the entry of NF-κB into the nucleus to regulate synthetic matrix gene transcription. Inhibition of TRPV4 altered primary cilia expression in response to LIPUS stimulation, and knockdown of primary cilia similarly inhibited TRPV4 function. These results suggest that LIPUS mediates TRPV4 channels through primary cilia to regulate the process of knee osteoarthritis in mice.
Development of a core set of outcome measures to be applied toward breast cancer-related lymphedema core outcome domains

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose
For breast cancer survivors (BCS) living with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL), what outcome measures (OMs) are recommended to be used to measure standardized outcome domains to fully assess the burden of the disease and efficacy of interventions? An integral component of a standardized core outcome set (COS) are the OMs used to measure the COS.

Methods
A supplemental online survey was linked to a Delphi study investigating a COS for BCRL. OMs were limited to a maximum of 10 options for each outcome domain (OD). There were 14 ODs corresponding to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework and respondents rated the OMs with a Likert level of recommendation. The feasibility of the listed OMs was also investigated for most outpatient, inpatient, and research settings.

Results
This study identified 27 standardized OMs with a few ODs having 2–3 highly recommended OMs for proper measurement. A few of the recommended OMs have limitations with reliability due to being semi-quantitative measures requiring the interpretation of the rater.

Conclusion
Narrowing the choices of OMs to 27 highly recommended by BCRL experts may reduce selective reporting, inconsistency in clinical use, and variability of reporting across interdisciplinary healthcare fields which manage or research BCRL. There is a need for valid, reliable, and feasible OMs that measure tissue consistency. Measures of upper extremity activity and motor control need further research in the BCS with BCRL population.
Implementation of Additive Manufacturing in the Healthcare Supply Chain for Circular Economy Goals: Paradoxical Tensions and Solutions from an Industry 5.0 Perspective
Authors: Priyadarshini Jaya , Singh Rajesh Kr , Mishra Ruchi , He Qile , Braganza Ashley 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis study addresses the paradoxical tensions that arise during additive manufacturing (AM) implementation for circular economy goals in the healthcare sector. Using the lens of paradox theory, this study identifies four competing priorities that stakeholders may encounter while adopting AM. Focus group discussions among 12 industry experts from the healthcare supply chain were conducted to verify the paradoxes. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted with 10 industry experts to derive the solutions to manage these tensions from an Industry 5.0 perspective to achieve the full benefits of AM. This study expands paradox theory into the AM literature and provides a novel ‘both/and’ perspective (i.e. a pluralistic rather than a dualistic perspective) to look at emerging tensions encountered while implementing AM in the healthcare sector. This perspective will help decision-makers realise that these tensions can be managed over time to turn them into creative, rather than destructive, forces.
One Variable Relevant Logics are S5ish
Authors: Ferenz Nicholas 
Published: March 2024

AbstractHere I show that the one-variable fragment of several first-order relevant logics corresponds to certain S5ish extensions of the underlying propositional relevant logic. In particular, given a fairly standard translation between modal and one-variable languages and a permuting propositional relevant logic L, a formula $$\mathcal {A}$$
A
of the one-variable fragment is a theorem of LQ (QL) iff its translation is a theorem of L5 (L.5). The proof is model-theoretic. In one direction, semantics based on the Mares-Goldblatt [15] semantics for quantified L are transformed into ternary (plus two binary) relational semantics for S5-like extensions of L (for a general presentation, see Seki [26, 27]). In the other direction, a valuation is given for the full first-order relevant logic based on L into a model for a suitable S5 extension of L. I also discuss this work’s relation to finding a complete axiomatization of the constant domain, non-general frame ternary relational semantics for which RQ is incomplete [11].

Published: March 2024

AbstractTo examine cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships of psychotropic medications with physical function after menopause. Analyses involved 4557 Women’s Health Initiative Long Life Study (WHI-LLS) participants (mean age at WHI enrollment (1993–1998): 62.8 years). Antidepressant, anxiolytic, and sedative/hypnotic medications were evaluated at WHI enrollment and 3-year follow-up visits. Performance-based physical function [Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)] was assessed at the 2012–2013 WHI-LLS visit. Self-reported physical function [RAND-36] was examined at WHI enrollment and the last available follow-up visit—an average of 22 [±2.8] (range: 12–27) years post-enrollment. Multivariable regression models controlled for socio-demographic, lifestyle, and health characteristics. Anxiolytics were not related to physical function. At WHI enrollment, antidepressant use was cross-sectionally related to worse self-reported physical function defined as a continuous (β = −6.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −8.48, −4.07) or as a categorical (< 78 vs. ≥ 78) (odds ratio [OR] = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.48, 2.98) outcome. Antidepressant use at WHI enrollment was also associated with worse performance-based physical function (SPPB) [< 10 vs. ≥ 10] (OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.21) at the 2012–2013 WHI-LLS visit. Compared to non-users, those using sedative/hypnotics at WHI enrollment but not at the 3-year follow-up visit reported a faster decline in physical function between WHI enrollment and follow-up visits. Among postmenopausal women, antidepressant use was cross-sectionally related to worse self-reported physical function, and with worse performance-based physical function after > 20 years of follow-up. Complex relationships found for hypnotic/sedatives were unexpected and necessitate further investigation.

Published: March 2024

AbstractAutonomous agents have long been a research focus in academic and industry communities. Previous research often focuses on training agents with limited knowledge within isolated environments, which diverges significantly from human learning processes, and makes the agents hard to achieve human-like decisions. Recently, through the acquisition of vast amounts of Web knowledge, large language models (LLMs) have shown potential in human-level intelligence, leading to a surge in research on LLM-based autonomous agents. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of these studies, delivering a systematic review of LLM-based autonomous agents from a holistic perspective. We first discuss the construction of LLM-based autonomous agents, proposing a unified framework that encompasses much of previous work. Then, we present a overview of the diverse applications of LLM-based autonomous agents in social science, natural science, and engineering. Finally, we delve into the evaluation strategies commonly used for LLM-based autonomous agents. Based on the previous studies, we also present several challenges and future directions in this field.
Model-based closed-loop process control for the manufacturing of hairpin coils
Authors: Wirth Felix , Hausmann Ludwig , Fleischer Jürgen 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAs a consequence of the increasing market share of hybrid and all-electric mobility solutions, there is a need for robust manufacturing technologies that enable the efficient production of powerful electric traction motors in automotive industry. In the context of high-quality distributed stator windings, the so-called hairpin technology already meets the automotive demand regarding productivity – but process reliability is still limited by variations in the mechanical and geometric properties of the enameled rectangular copper wire leading to different springback effects within the forming processes. Against this background, a model-based closed-loop process control for the sequential tool-bound bending of hairpin coils is introduced and validated in this paper.
Umsorgt oder schikaniert?

ZusammenfassungWährend der COVID-19-Pandemie war der Einsatz von Hygiene- und Schutzmaßnahmen zur Eindämmung des neuartigen Virus erforderlich. Das Gebot der sozialen Distanzierung stellt dabei besondere Herausforderungen an das System Strafvollzug, was für die ohnehin im Freiheitsentzug befindlichen Gefangenen zusätzliche – allerdings unverschuldete – Einschränkungen bedeutete. Denkbar ist, dass sich auch hinsichtlich deren Wahrnehmung und Zweckattribution seitens der Inhaftierten Besonderheiten zeigen. So widmet sich dieser Beitrag sowohl der Wahrnehmung und Akzeptanz der pandemiebedingten Maßnahmen durch deutsche Strafgefangene (n = 956) als auch dem diesbezüglichen Einfluss der anstaltsseitigen Begründung und Erklärung. Die Kommunikation der Maßnahmen erfolgte gemäß der Auskunft der befragten Inhaftierten größtenteils schriftlich, aber auch mündlich durch das Personal. Qualitative Daten legen die Unzufriedenheit mit der Maßnahmenvermittlung nahe, und auch die quantitativen Befunde zur Zweckattribution zeigen, dass die Maßnahmen nicht nur als Schutz und Fürsorge, sondern auch als Schikane wahrgenommen wurden. In Bezug auf altersbedingte Unterschiede zeigt sich, dass ältere Inhaftierte die Maßnahmen weniger ablehnen und sie eher als Fürsorge und Schutz interpretieren. Zusammenhänge zeigen sich zwischen einer begründungsorientierten Vermittlung und einer günstigen Zweckattribution sowie einer geringeren Ablehnung der Maßnahmen. Letztlich findet sich eine partielle Mediation des Effekts einer nichtbegründungsorientierten Vermittlung auf die Ablehnung der Maßnahmen durch deren Attribution als Schikane. Wenn es um die Einhaltung von Schutzmaßnahmen geht, ist man auch im Zwangskontext Strafvollzug auf die eigenverantwortliche Kooperation der Gefangenen angewiesen, die wiederum nicht durch begründungsloses Anordnen entsteht.
Treatment Options for Distal Rectal Cancer in the Era of Organ Preservation
Authors: Wang Chen , Liu Xiaoliang , Wang Weiping , Miao Zheng , Li Xiaoyan , Liu Dingchao , Hu Ke 
Published: March 2024

Opinion statementThe introduction of total mesorectal excision into the radical surgery of rectal cancer has significantly improved the oncological outcome with longer survival and lower local recurrence. Traditional treatment modalities of distal rectal cancer, relying on radical surgery, while effective, take their own set of risks, including surgical complications, potential damage to the anus, and surrounding structure owing to the pursuit of thorough resection. The progress of operating methods as well as the integration of systemic therapies and radiotherapy into the peri-operative period, particularly the exciting clinical complete response of patients after neoadjuvant treatment, have paved the way for organ preservation strategy. The non-inferiority oncological outcome of “watch and wait” compared with radical surgery underscores the potential of organ preservation not only to control local recurrence but also to reduce the need for treatments followed by structure destruction, hopefully improving the long-term quality of life. Radical radiotherapy provides another treatment option for patients unwilling or unable to undergo surgery. Organ preservation points out the direction of treatment for distal rectal cancer, while additional researches are needed to answer remaining questions about its optimal use.
