“Traitor over a night”: on critique and the fragility of privilege in the aftermath of Turkey’s coup attempt
Authors: Sehlikoglu Sertaç 
Published: November 2023

AbstractDrawing on ethnographic research with the devout members of Gülen movement displaced in the aftermath of the coup attempt in 2016, this paper studies the existential crisis these formerly “proper Turkish citizens” have been experiencing after being targeted by the Turkish State. This existential crisis, as argued in this paper, is significantly informative in understanding how privilege-based ethical self-making emanates fragility. The paper, thus, both parallels Sunni-Turkish-ness with whiteness and provides a reading of ethical self-making processes the Gülenists developed vis-à-vis the notions of critique and comfort. It first looks closer at the two Islamic revivalist movements, Milli Görüş as the predecessors of Turkey’s ruling AKP (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi/Justice and Development Party) and the Gülen Movement, their rivalry over claiming the canon and the ways in which they differ in their notions of politics, political Islam, and critique. Although critique and self-critique are integral components of ethical self-formation processes, Gülen movement takes a somewhat inconsistent approach in implementing them to the heteronomous layers of self. Meaning, that while self-critique is an essential part of ethical self-making, critiquing the movement itself, the state, nation, and ancestors (as they were imagined) are not seen as ethical acts. It concludes with an analysis of how this discrepancy results in a sporadic distribution of ethical self-formation, leading to an existential crisis.

Published: November 2023

AbstractBy presenting an investigation of the impact of international trade protectionism on the reconfigurations of the global value chains (GVCs), this paper challenges the perceived assumption of ongoing globalization and the free flow of goods and services. Building on the de-globalization and GVCs’ literature, we performed a historical content analysis on 174 articles from 2016 to 2020 published in leading and major national and international newspapers. Our findings suggest that international trade protectionism has altered the landscape of GVCs by causing widespread disruption to their functioning, thus making them prone to future external policy risks. Such disruption is having a varying impact on various industries, whereby it is causing greater harm to those industries that are more global in nature and thus rely on global suppliers. We draw implications of our findings for research and practice.
Fridays for Future zwischen Hoffnung und Frustration: Politische Selbstwirksamkeit im Verständnis junger Protestierender
Authors: Waechter Natalia , Steinmann Nico Maximilian 
Published: November 2023

ZusammenfassungDer Artikel untersucht das Selbstverständnis von jungen Aktivist:innen der Fridays for Future (FFF) Bewegung und analysiert, inwiefern und welchen Kontexten sich die Protestierenden politisch selbstwirksam für die zukünftige Entwicklung der Klimakrise verstehen und welche Strategien sie zur Förderung ihrer Selbstwirksamkeit einsetzen. Dabei beziehen wir uns auf das Konzept politischer Selbstwirksamkeit und auf den theoretischen Ansatz der Handlungsfähigkeit junger Menschen. Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen werden empirische, qualitative Interview- und Beobachtungsdaten von jungen Aktivist:innen und Teilnehmer:innen an FFF-Protesten in Deutschland und Österreich herangezogen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die untersuchten Protestierenden trotz wahrgenommener Hindernisse als politisch wirksame Akteur:innen verstehen. Im persönlichen Umfeld nehmen sie sich als einflussreiche Vorbilder eines klimagerechten Lebensstils wahr, der von anderen übernommen wird. Sie bemerken auch eine (indirekte) Einflussnahme der FFF-Bewegung auf Politik und Regierungen sowie auf das Problembewusstsein der Bevölkerung, insgesamt scheint das Engagement der Aktivist:innen aber mehr von der Hoffnung, denn von benennbaren politischen Erfolgen getragen zu sein. Dementsprechend wird als Strategie zur Stärkung des Glaubens an die Selbstwirksamkeit unter anderem mit der Verbreitung einer optimistischen Grundstimmung gearbeitet.

Published: November 2023

AbstractStopping smoking is crucial for public health and especially for individuals with diabetes. Combustion-free nicotine alternatives like e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products are increasingly being used as substitutes for conventional cigarettes, contributing to the decline in smoking prevalence. However, there is limited information about the long-term health impact of those products in patients with diabetes. This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate whether switching from conventional cigarettes to combustion-free nicotine alternatives will lead to a measurable improvement in cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic parameters over a period of 2 years in smokers with type 2 diabetes. The multicenter study will be conducted in seven sites across four countries. A total of 576 smokers with type 2 diabetes will be randomly assigned (1:2 ratio) to either standard of care with brief cessation advice (Control Arm) or combustion-free nicotine alternatives use (Intervention Arm). The primary end point is the change in the proportion of patients with metabolic syndrome between baseline and the 2-year follow-up. Additionally, the study will analyze the absolute change in the sum of the individual factors of metabolic syndrome at each study time point. Patient recruitment has started in September 2021 and enrollment is expected to be completed by December 2023. Results will be reported in 2026. This study may provide valuable insights into cardiovascular and metabolic health benefits or risks associated with using combustion-free nicotine alternatives for individuals with type 2 diabetes who are seeking alternatives to tobacco cigarette smoking. The study protocol, informed consent forms, and relevant documents were approved by seven ethical review boards. Study results will be disseminated through articles published in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals and presentations at conferences.

Published: November 2023

AbstractDue to new requirements regarding the efficiency of electrical machines it is necessary to steadily improve machine concepts or create new ones. Therefore, manufacturing technology has to be continuously improved, adapted or developed new. Forming technology offers an excellent opportunity to implement components for highly efficient electrical machines through its advantages regarding high productivity and high degree of material usage. This paper presents a new method for bending complete stacks of grain oriented electric sheets for use as radially laminated modules in an innovative machine concept with flux barriers. First, the principle of electric drives with flux barriers and the arrangement of the new radial lamination are explained. Then, practical preliminary studies concerning the bending of single sheets are performed. Based on this, the process and tooling for bending of pre-stacked sheets is developed and analysed. Accordingly, an increase in material utilisation of about 30% can be expected compared to classically designed stators. Furthermore, the use of the radially laminated stator principle increases the slot area by about 20% which makes it possible to insert more copper into the slot and thus increase the efficiency of the machine during operation. After validation of the process chain with a demonstrator motor and description of several manufacturing and quality improvements, finally, an outlook is given, and possible further research approaches are discussed.

Published: November 2023

AbstractSelection and scaling of ground motion records have been recognised as one of the major sources of bias and uncertainty in the seismic assessment of civil engineering structures. This review paper provides a comprehensive description from a critical point of view of the scaling and selection approaches of earthquake motions for structural engineering applications, emphasising works conducted in the last decade. The outline of content within this review is organised as follows: (1) Earlier works (research done before 2010); (2) Code-based selection and spectral matching; (3) Probabilistic assessment based on intensity measures; and (4) Use of simulated signals as an alternative to ground motion selection and scaling. The aim of this paper is to provide a wide understanding of current research on the scaling and selection of earthquake motions for structural engineering applications; therefore, it may serve as a suitable reference in forthcoming investigations.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe sustainability of maritime activities is increasingly gaining interest, with the shipping sector actively focusing on decarbonization efforts. Throughout the years, researchers have considered slow steaming for improving the environmental footprint of maritime networks. In order to assess such strategies’ effectiveness on existing emissions, research also focuses on the accurate estimation of emission inventories. However, there is a significant gap concerning both fields when considering short-sea shipping, especially passenger shipping. Furthermore, while emissions are characterized by spatial aspects in several studies, there is an apparent gap in considering such aspects for detailed analysis purposes rather than only for visualization purposes. In this study, the Greek Coastal Shipping Network (GCSN) is considered, with its emissions estimated using a top-down method, creating a spatial emission inventory used for further spatial analysis for accurate identification of highly polluted areas. Results indicate that ship emissions do not spread homogeneously throughout the GCSN and that targeted interventions are necessary in several areas of the network. The effectiveness of spatially related slow steaming implementations is evaluated and compared with their implementation on the whole network. The study highlights the need for additional future emission mitigation strategies, such as service optimization, network restructuring, continuous emission monitoring, and fleet renewal with more environmentally efficient ships. The study’s aim is to fill the research gap regarding the environmental assessment of passenger shipping and the effects of slow steaming on such networks while presenting an adaptable GIS-based decision support system for enhanced decision-making regarding the environmental efficiency of maritime networks.
A circular approach to foster additive manufacturing early design stages sustainability: a methodological proposal
Authors: Faveto Alberto , Lombardi Franco , Chiabert Paolo , Segonds Frédéric 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe design of new products is now influenced by shifting consumer demands and technological advancements. Products must satisfy high-quality standards and have a low environmental impact. New phenomena such as distributed and urban manufacturing are emerging to cope with this. A new manufacturing era is coming where methods that prevent waste, support small workshops and encourage do-it-yourself are crucial. In the early design stage, the process knowledge is minimal, and the decision taken is vital. For this reason, it is essential to support designers in anticipating the impact of decisions on the final product. This paper establishes the groundwork for decision-support methodologies for sustainable design in One-of-a-Kind additive manufacturing prototyping. Our proposed method is applied to a Fused Filament Fabrication case study, wherein we evaluate the impact of nine variables on factors such as process time, energy and material consumption, environmental footprint, and product quality. The initial step aims to generate fresh insights through Taguchi experimentation, while the subsequent step formulates and resolves a multi-objective optimization problem using the NSGA-II algorithm. The resulting Pareto-optimal solutions serve as the basis for a novel visual-based design support tool. The proposed approach can evaluate the trade-offs between product quality and environmental impact by offering users a visual heatmap based on quantitative data. This heatmap can guide the user in the material and production parameter selection. Integrating the decision support tool into the product design process can empower designers to create environmentally responsible products while fostering innovation.
Mit Strafe zum Wohlverhalten?

Published: November 2023

ZusammenfassungAus der Perspektive der Betroffenen sind Strafen bzw. Sanktionen zwar ein wesentlicher, aber dennoch risikobehafteter Bestandteil von Erziehung. Eine positive Wirkung können Strafen nur dann entfalten, wenn sie einen untergeordneten Aspekt der Erziehung darstellen, wohingegen eine tragfähige und belastbare Beziehung sich als Grundvoraussetzung erweist. Auf der Grundlage der empirischen Ergebnisse ist einem individuellen Fallverstehen zudem eine hohe Bedeutung zuzumessen.

Children’s Experiences of Bullying Victimization and the Influence on Their Subjective Well-Being: a Population-Based Study
Authors: Savahl Shazly , Adams Sabirah , Hoosen Phadiel 
Published: November 2023

AbstractBullying is both a major public health concern and a violation of children’s right to safety from violence. Within the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in the relation between bullying and children’s subjective well-being (SWB). Empirical research has unequivocally demonstrated the significant negative influence of bullying on children’s SWB. Within the South African context, violence and aggressive behaviour is widespread. The high prevalence of school bullying in South Africa is intricately related to the intergenerational experiences of violence, rooted in the history of racism, prejudice, oppression, exclusion, and the discriminatory practices of apartheid. However, there are limited large-scale studies that explores the relation between bullying victimization and children’s SWB. The current study, uses a population-based sample to explore the relation between bullying victimization and children’s SWB in South Africa, across provincial regions (nine provinces), age (10 - and 12-years), gender (boys and girls), geographical context (urban and rural), and socio-economic status (low, lower-middle, and middle socio-economic status). The study uses Subjective Well-Being Homeostasis Theory to frame and interpret the findings. We found a significant negative relationship between bullying victimization and children’s SWB. The combined influence of being hit, called unkind names and socially excluded explained 6 % of the variance in SWB for the overall sample, with some variation across provincial region, age groups, gender, geographical context, and socio-economic status. The study further found that increased incidences of bullying experiences were associated with lower mean scores of SWB. Finally, the study found that even though the different forms of bullying victimization have a significant negative influence on children’s SWB, the homeostatic mechanism is potentially mediating this influence and maintaining levels of SWB.

Published: November 2023

AbstractDeformable catalytic material with excellent flexible structure is a new type of catalyst that has been applied in various chemical reactions, especially electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In recent years, deformable catalysts for HER have made great progress and would become a research hotspot. The catalytic activities of deformable catalysts could be adjustable by the strain engineering and surface reconfiguration. The surface curvature of flexible catalytic materials is closely related to the electrocatalytic HER properties. Here, firstly, we systematically summarized self-adaptive catalytic performance of deformable catalysts and various micro–nanostructures evolution in catalytic HER process. Secondly, a series of strategies to design highly active catalysts based on the mechanical flexibility of low-dimensional nanomaterials were summarized. Last but not least, we presented the challenges and prospects of the study of flexible and deformable micro–nanostructures of electrocatalysts, which would further deepen the understanding of catalytic mechanisms of deformable HER catalyst.
Simplified numerical model development for advanced design of lightweight-concrete encased cold-formed steel shear wall panels
Authors: Eid Nathalie , Joó Attila László 
Published: November 2023

AbstractSince cold-formed steel (CFS) elements are susceptible to complex buckling phenomena that decrease their structural capability, many strengthening trends have been developed so far. One of these methods is the use of polystyrene aggregate concrete (PAC) as bracings in order to restrain the global and distortional buckling modes of CFS members, where a new structural system comprising CFS elements encased in PAC has been proposed. In this research, PAC-encased CFS shear panels have been investigated numerically, where a simplified finite element model was developed to predict the structural behavior and capacity of such members. This goal was achieved using ANSYS software, where a geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis with imperfections (GMNI) was used to solve the problem of PAC-encased CFS shear panels. The full detailed volume-contact element-based concrete model was replaced by spring elements perpendicular to the plate’s plane with equivalent properties, and beam elements that could represent the concrete block more accurately regarding the global lateral stiffness and shear resistance. Consequently, for this case, the combination of local and global stiffness of PAC could produce the actual shear behavior of PAC-filled wall panels. The developed model was validated against previous experimental tests from the literature. Parametric studies were conducted in terms of the imperfection amplitudes, the stiffness of springs and the properties of PAC. Finally, the structural performance of PAC-encased panels under combined axial and shear loading was examined, where the effect of different axial load levels on the lateral strength was determined, and an interaction equation was proposed.
A brief history of free parafermions

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn this article we outline the historical development and key results obtained to date for free parafermionic spin chains. The concept of free parafermions provides a natural N-state generalization of free fermions, which have long underpinned the exact solution and application of widely studied quantum spin chains and their classical counterparts. In particular, we discuss the Baxter-Fendley free parafermionic Z(N) spin chain, which is a relatively simple non-Hermitian generalization of the Ising model.

Abstract

Background/Objective:
HIV viral load self-testing could enable people living with HIV (PLHIV) to monitor their viral suppression status more easily, potentially facilitating medication adherence and safe behavior decision-making. Smartphone-based viral load testing innovations have the potential to reach resource-limited and vulnerable communities to address inequities in access to HIV care. However, successful development and translation of these tests requires meaningful investigation of end-user contexts and incorporation of those context-specific needs early in the design process. The objective of this study is to engage PLHIV and HIV healthcare providers in human-centered design research to inform key design and implementation considerations for a smartphone-based HIV viral load self-testing device prototype in development.

Methods:
Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with PLHIV (n = 10) and HIV providers (n = 4) in Indiana, a state with suboptimal viral suppression rates and marked disparities in access to HIV care. Interview guides were developed based on contextual investigation and human-centered design frameworks and included a demonstration of the device prototype with feedback-gathering questions.

Results:
Thematic analysis of interview transcripts revealed important benefits, concerns, and user requirements for smartphone-based HIV VL self-testing within the context of PLHIV lived experience, knowledge, and barriers to care in Indiana.

Conclusion:
End-user needs and preferences were identified as key design specifications and implementation considerations to facilitate the acceptability and inform ongoing development and ultimately real-world translation of the HIV VL monitoring device prototype.
