Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Onkologen unterliegen hohen – allgemein im ärztlichen Tätigkeitsfeld und typisch in der Onkologie zutreffenden – psychischen Arbeitsbelastungen, die eine mehr oder weniger starke Beanspruchung bedeuten können. Krisenzeiten verstärken das Gefühl der negativen Beanspruchung. Viele Studien bestätigen den Zusammenhang zwischen Effort-Reward-Imbalance bzw. beruflichen Gratifikationskrisen im normalen Arbeitsalltag und verschiedenen Erkrankungen. Aufgrund fehlender Studiendaten war das Ziel dieser Pilotstudie, die subjektive psychische und physische Gesundheit ukrainischer Onkologen während der Krisensituationen zu ermitteln. Es soll der Frage nachgegangen werden, inwiefern Assoziationen zwischen Verausgabung, Belohnung sowie Overcommitment und der Gesundheit der Ärzteschaft gelten.

Methodik
An dieser Pilotstudie nahmen 23 Onkologen (12 Männer und 11 Frauen) im Alter zwischen 26 und 72 Jahren (im Mittel 47,4 ± 12,74 Jahre) freiwillig teil. Die durchschnittliche Dauer der Berufstätigkeit lag bei 19,0 ± 11,92 Jahren. Es wurden Daten mittels des Fragebogens Effort-Reward-Imbalance (ERI) mit Fragen zum Overcommitment (OC) und des Beschwerdefragebogens (BFB) erhoben. Es erfolgte eine Einteilung zwischen Befragten mit einem normalen ERI-Ratio (≤ 1) oder hohen ERI-Ratio (> 1) für die Gruppenvergleiche der gesundheitlichen Beschwerden. Zudem erfolgte eine Korrelationsanalyse zwischen den ERI-Subskalen, OC und den BFB-Skalen.

Ergebnisse
Die Verteilung von Alter und Berufsjahren war über die ERI-Gruppen identisch. Bei einer Spannweite von 0,20 bis 1,76 Punkten wiesen einige Onkologen (39,1 %) eine hohe Effort-Reward-Imbalance auf. Die Gesamtstichprobe bot eine durchschnittliche Ausprägung des ERI (0,93 ± 0,40 Punkte). Bei 26,1 % (n = 6) der Gesamtstichprobe fand sich ein erhöhtes OC (> 16 Punkte), wobei 1 Proband davon auch ein ERI > 1 aufwies. Alle 6 Onkologen boten zwar mehr psychische, physische und gesamte Symptomatik im BFB an, was jedoch im Vergleich zu der Gruppe mit einem normalen ERI statistisch nicht signifikant war. Bei 39,1 % (n = 9) der Gesamtstichprobe konnten neurotische Werte im BFB nachgewiesen werden (4 Probanden mit ERI > 1). BFB-Skalen korrelierten nicht mit den ERI-Subskalen und OC.

Diskussion
Die Daten zeigen eine hohe Beschwerdeprävalenz (39,1 %) sowohl in der Gruppe mit normaler Effort-Reward-Imbalance (35,7 %) als auch in der Gruppe mit hoher ERI-Ratio (44,4 %). Hohen Beanspruchungen kann unterschiedlich lang entgegengewirkt werden. Daher bedarf es betrieblicher Maßnahmen zum Gesundheitserhalt, gerade auch in Krisensituationen. Hier könnte die Arbeitsmedizin in der Ukraine von einem Erfahrungsaustausch zur ganzheitlichen arbeitsmedizinischen Vorsorge mit Arbeitsmedizinern in Deutschland profitieren.
A predictive-reactive strategy for flight test task scheduling with aircraft grounding
Authors: Tian Bei , Xiao Gang , Shen Yu 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn flight test engineering, the flight test duration (FTD) affects the aircraft’s delivery node and directly impacts costs. In the actual flight test process, the environmental status updates frequently, and various uncertain events are often encountered, which affect the flight test progress and project implementation. Therefore, when scheduling flight test tasks, rescheduling should be taken into account. This paper proposes a predictive-reactive strategy based on a deep reinforcement learning approach to solve the flight test task scheduling problem with consideration of aircraft grounding. In the predictive stage, a constructive heuristic algorithm is designed to generate an initial schedule. The rescheduling problem is solved by the appropriate rescheduling method that aims to optimize the FTD deviation, task reallocation, and workload cost simultaneously. The problem is modeled as a Markov decision process, including the well-designed state features, rewards, and actions based on different rescheduling methods. The policy is trained by the proximal policy optimization algorithm. At last, numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach.

AbstractAqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted increasing attention in next-generation energy storage systems due to their high safety and economic. Unfortunately, the side reactions, dendrites and hydrogen evolution effects at the zinc anode interface in aqueous electrolytes seriously hinder the application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Here, we report a critical solvation strategy to achieve reversible zinc electrochemistry by introducing a small polar molecule acetonitrile to form a “catcher” to arrest active molecules (bound water molecules). The stable solvation structure of [Zn(H2O)6]2+ is capable of maintaining and completely inhibiting free water molecules. When [Zn(H2O)6]2+ is partially desolvated in the Helmholtz outer layer, the separated active molecules will be arrested by the “catcher” formed by the strong hydrogen bond N–H bond, ensuring the stable desolvation of Zn2+. The Zn||Zn symmetric battery can stably cycle for 2250 h at 1 mAh cm−2, Zn||V6O13 full battery achieved a capacity retention rate of 99.2% after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g−1. This paper proposes a novel critical solvation strategy that paves the route for the construction of high-performance AZIBs.
Overcoming systemic and institutional challenges in policy implementation in South Africa's water sector
Authors: Adom Richard Kwame , Simatele Mulala Danny 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe water sector in South Africa is faced with numerous challenges, among which include; increased flooding and prolonged droughts caused by increased climate variability, rapid population growth, unsustainable water demands and withdrawals by various water users, deficiencies in institutional management and infrastructural maintenance, lack of political will with accompanying high levels of corruption and steady deteriorations in all sub-sectors of the economy. Other significant challenges include provision of water in rural communities, water pollution especially from poorly operated wastewater treatments works, acid mine drainage, nutrients from agriculture, siltation of dams. A combination of these factors has led to high levels of water scarcity and an immense burden on the water supply. However, it must be noted that in 1994, South Africa (SA) embarked on developing numerous policies and strategies to address water challenges. While some levels of success have been achieved in terms of policy formulation, there is, however, a lack of comprehensive coordination and synergy that cut across the broad objectives of these policies in meeting environmental, social and economic targets and aspirations. Additionally, the implementation of the policies and programmes is stalled by structural, systemic and institutional factors, coupled with new challenges arising from climatic variabilities. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods together with rapid appraisal of existing literature, we explore systemic and institutional factors impeding the implementation of policies and strategies designed to drive South Africa's water sector as envisaged within the National Development Plan of 2012. We argue that the water sector is faced with multifarious and interweaving challenges such as inadequate human capital, changes in climatic conditions, limited financial resources, infrastructural deficiencies largely linked to poor urban planning and rapid growth of informal settlements, rampant corruption and mismanagement, lack of stakeholders' involvement and compartmentalisation of institutions. This paper, therefore, recommends a community-based approach that enforces transparency and the participation of civil society, cross-sectoral cooperation and a broad range of stakeholders and decentralisation of policy implementation strategies.
»König wer?« Zur (De‑)Popularisierung der Harzer Sagenfigur König Hübich
Authors: Penke Niels 
Published: March 2024

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag rekonstruiert die Popularisierungsgeschichte der Harzer Sagenfigur König Hübich. Ausgehend von den Schriften Jakob Grimms hat dieser im 19. Jahrhunderte eine weitreichende Popularisierung erfahren, die sich zunächst auf weit verbreitete Sagensammlungen und ein großes Interesse der Germanischen Altertumskunde stützt. Solange Hübich für eine dem nordischen/germanischen Gott Odin/Wotan verwandte oder sogar mit ihm identische Gestalt gehalten wird, halten sich wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen und literarische Darstellungen die Waage. Als der germanistische Diskurs diese Annahme verwirft, erfährt Hübich eine umfassende Transformation und wird in Kinderbüchern und auf Postkarten zum niedlichen Zwerg gemacht. Zwar erscheinen auch nach 1900 noch einige auflagenstarke Bücher mit Hübich-Bezug, seinen sukzessiven Popularitätsschwund und Abstieg zur Lokalfigur können diese nicht verhindern.
Democracy without curriculum: how unschooling contributes to a home education rooted in democracy and agency for young people
Authors: English Rebecca , Krogh Chris , Liberto Giuliana 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIt is widely accepted that young people’s lives are more complex than ever before and this complexity is making classroom life difficult for many. In response, around 30,000 Australian young people are choosing home education (Moir & English, 2022). While many consider home educators to be ideologically inflexible and religiously fundamental, this stereotype does not reflect the Australian home education movement (Moir & English, 2022; English, 2021a, 2021b). Indeed, many parents are making a “choice without markets” (Aurini & Davis, 2005), attempting to address the top-down, centralised and inflexible curriculum increasingly found in schools (English, 2021a, 2021b, Van Galen, 1991). This paper explores the democratic potential of unschooling, a widely adopted, but frequently misunderstood, approach to home education that has, at its heart, a democratic educational approach rooted in agency (Romero, 2018; Riley, 2021). Unschooling moves beyond civics and citizenship to a lived experience of democracy for young people. Through an analysis of extant home education literature as well as data from the inquiry into homeschooling from the New South Wales upper house (Select Committee into Home Schooling, 2014) we propose that the greatest threat to democracy for change in curriculum is too much regulatory control over home education while the greatest benefit of unschooling is its emphasis on participatory democracy and agency for young people.
A Sequential Sampling Approach to the Integration of Habits and Goals
Authors: Zhang Chao , van Wissen Arlette , Dotsch Ron , Lakens Daniël , IJsselsteijn Wijnand A. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractHabits often conflict with goal-directed behaviors and this phenomenon continues to attract interests from neuroscientists, experimental psychologists, and applied health psychologists. Recent computational models explain habit-goal conflicts as the competitions between two learning systems, arbitrated by a central unit. Based on recent research that combined reinforcement learning and sequential sampling, we show that habit-goal conflicts can be more parsimoniously explained by a dynamic integration of habit and goal values in a sequential sampling model, without any arbitration. A computational model was developed by extending the multialternative decision field theory with the assumptions that habits bias starting points of preference accumulation, and that goal importance and goal relevance determine sampling probabilities of goal-related attributes. Simulation studies demonstrated our approach’s ability to qualitatively reproduce important empirical findings from three paradigms – classic devaluation, devaluation with a concurrent schedule, and reversal learning, and to predict gradual changes in decision times. In addition, a parameter recovery exercise using approximate Bayesian computation showcased the possibility of fitting the model to empirical data in future research. Implications of our work for habit theories and applications are discussed.
gym-flp: A Python Package for Training Reinforcement Learning Algorithms on Facility Layout Problems
Authors: Heinbach Benjamin , Burggräf Peter , Wagner Johannes 
Published: March 2024

AbstractReinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have proven to be useful tools for combinatorial optimisation. However, they are still underutilised in facility layout problems (FLPs). At the same time, RL research relies on standardised benchmarks such as the Arcade Learning Environment. To address these issues, we present an open-source Python package (gym-flp) that utilises the OpenAI Gym toolkit, specifically designed for developing and comparing RL algorithms. The package offers one discrete and three continuous problem representation environments with customisable state and action spaces. In addition, the package provides 138 discrete and 61 continuous problems commonly used in FLP literature and supports submitting custom problem sets. The user can choose between numerical and visual output of observations, depending on the RL approach being used. The package aims to facilitate experimentation with different algorithms in a reproducible manner and advance RL use in factory planning.
Phenomenological Evaluation of an Undergraduate Clinical Needs Finding Skills Through a Virtual Reality Clinical Immersion Platform
Authors: King Christine E. , Salvo Dalton 
Published: March 2024

AbstractClinical immersion programs have been widely used in higher education, particularly in biomedical engineering (BME) programs, to allow students to identify and evaluate the unmet clinical needs. However, due to limited space and extensive safety protocols required to enter hospitals, access for undergraduate students to shadow physicians is limited. BME students need to be trained to identify and evaluate unmet clinical needs through observation and experience to remain competitive in the medical device landscape. To be able to allow students to immerse themselves into clinical environments remotely and be able to visualize the full spectrum of healthcare workers and equipment that support a procedure beyond what is available through online video records, we have developed a virtual reality (VR) clinical immersion platform. The applicability and overall student satisfaction of using VR learning environments was investigated through a pilot undergraduate BME unmet clinical needs finding course in the spring of 2022. Pre- and post-course survey analyses revealed that the VR clinical immersion experiences did greatly increase immersion within a medical procedure, and students felt sensations of presence and embodiment. Given the results of this study, VR learning environments can provide a means for students to perform unmet clinical needs through virtual clinical immersion. However, these technologies to support environments should be readily accessible within the classroom.

Authors: Gelbart Ben , Kapalavai Sudeep Kumar , Marchesini Vanessa , Veysey Andrea , Serratore Alyssa , Appleyard Jessica , Bellomo Rinaldo , Butt Warwick , Duke Trevor 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Objectives
To investigate the validity of a 19-point clinical edema score (CES) and mid-limb circumferences for quantifying edema.

Methods
A prospective exploratory study was performed in mechanically ventilated children after cardiac surgery in a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Body weight, a CES, and mid-limb circumferences were performed at baseline and two consecutive 24-h intervals.

Results
We studied fifty-nine children with a median age of 8.0 days [IQR; 1.0, 14.0]. Body weight and edema measurements were performed at enrolment (baseline) and two subsequent 24-h time points. Between baseline and 24 h, the median change in body weight was −33g [IQR; −146, 106], and between 24 and 48 h, −97g [IQR; −241, −28]. Changes in the CES and leg circumference, but not arm circumference, were significantly associated with small changes in body weight. In a multivariable linear, mixed effects model, accounting for repeated measures within children and baseline values, there was statistically significant evidence that every point increase in CES was associated with an increase of 12.6 g [95%CI; 3.6–21.5] in body weight. Similarly, a 1-cm increase in leg circumference was associated with an increase in body weight of 46.7 g [95%CI; 3.5–89.9]. However, there was no statistically significant association between arm circumference and body weight.

Conclusions
In children after cardiac surgery, a CES and leg circumference, but not arm circumference, may be a valid measure of fluid accumulation. Larger studies in broader populations of critically ill children are warranted.
LUMINOSITY, SPIRIT, AND THE ROLE OF CLAPPER-BELLS IN THE FORMATION OF A CHINESE METALLURGICAL TRADITION
Authors: Allan Sarah , Han Ding 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis article explores the manner in which the Eurasian metallurgical tradition was transformed into an indigenous tradition on the Chinese Central Plains. It argues that the association of luminosity with the divine has a cognitive foundation, which accounts for the use translucent stones and shiny metals, including copper, bronze, silver, and gold as mediums for religious artifacts throughout the world. In China, this association was the primary impetus for the development of an indigenous metallurgy based on a piece-mold and coring technology. Although the technology ultimately concentrated on the production of ritual vessels, it was first developed at Yanshi Erlitou 偃師二里頭 for the production of clapper-bells (ling 鈴), which had similar round hollow bodies.We further explore the history of clapper-bells, arguing that they were a development of a Central Plains tradition dating back to the Yangshao 仰韶 period (5000–3000 b.c.e.). We argue that their religious significance at Erlitou lay in the previously unheard sound produced when the two luminous substances, jade and bronze, struck against one another. Thus, religious interlocutors at Erlitou used them to contact the ancestral spirits. Later, in the Yinxu 殷墟 period of the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1300–1050 b.c.e.), bronze clapper-bells were worn by dogs buried in tombs. We propose that their role there was a development of the earlier one; that is, they were used to contact the occupant's ancestral spirits as he was guided by the dog in the underworld.
The Constitutive Power of Public Debate
Authors: Lambek Simon 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Public debates structure election cycles, feature in news media, and are privileged as a form of academic exchange. Yet, public debate is poorly understood from the perspective of political theory. While theorists often talk about “public debate,” they usually mean diffuse discussion on a topic in the public sphere. This article considers how literal public debates—multisided, publicly accessible and publicly oriented performances of reason-giving—may be normatively distinct from other forms of rhetoric. Drawing on the “constructivist turn” in the scholarship on representation and the philosophy of Gadamer, I offer a hermeneutical approach for assessing public debates. I argue that public debates do not merely provide a platform for opinions to be broadcast, they also purport to provide a representative spectrum of opinions. In so doing, they help to construct the borders of the public sphere itself. I conclude by considering the significance of protest to public debate.
Alternative spaces of encounter: Characterological metadiscourses and ‘joint voice’ in Finnish multi-ethnic inclusive theater
Authors: Visakko Tomi 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This article explores the characterological metadiscourses through which characters, or figures of personhood, become modeled, evaluated, and enacted during a multi-ethnic, community-inclusive theater project that aims to make the group's ‘joint voice’ heard on stage and in society. Based on ethnographic data and discourse-analytical methods, the article examines two modes of characterological metadiscourse that contribute to the construction of an ‘alternative’ discursive space that allows the group to reflect on and to experiment with everyday social interactions. First, the article analyzes writing and conversation tasks that deal with experiences of ethnicization and inequality. Second, the article analyzes exercises in acting techniques, in which the focus turns to universal characterological dimensions, enabling each participant to participate in the joint voice as an equal performer. The analyses illuminate a local strategy of managing multi-ethnic relations and committing to ideals of solidarity and egalitarianism with the purpose of collective social action.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
This multi-method longitudinal study sought to investigate linkage in parental neuroendocrine functioning – indicated by cortisol – over two measurement occasions. In addition, we examined how parental cortisol linkage may operate as an intermediate factor in the cascade of contextual risks and parenting. Participants were 235 families with a young child (Mage = 33.56, 36.00 years for mothers and fathers respectively), who were followed for two annual measurement occasions. Parental cortisol linkage was measured around a laboratory conflict discussion task at both measurement occasions (i.e., pre-discussion, 20- and 40-minute post-discussion for each measurement occasion). Maternal and paternal parenting behavior was observed during a parent-child discipline discussion task. Findings indicated similar levels of cortisol linkage between parents over the two measurement occasions. Furthermore, cortisol linkage between parents operated as an intermediate factor between contextual risks and more compromised parenting behavior. That is, greater contextual risks, indicated by greater neighborhood risk and interparental conflict, were linked to greater cortisol linkage between parents over time, which was in turn linked to greater authoritarian parenting during parent-child interaction. Findings highlighted the importance of understanding physiological-linkage processes with respect to the impact of contextual risks on family functioning and may have crucial implications for clinical work.
