Authors: Yu Pei , An Jiaxuan , Wang Zhongju , Fu Yongzhu , Guo Wei 
Published: November 2023

AbstractOrganic electrodes that embrace multiple electron transfer and efficient redox reactions are desirable for green energy storage batteries. Here, a novel organic electrode material is synthesized, i.e., 2, 2′‐((disulfanediylbis (4, 1‐phenylene)) bis(azanediyl)) bis (naphthalene‐1, 4‐dione) (MNQ), through a simple click reaction between common carbonyl and organosulfur compounds and demonstrate its application potential as a high‐performance cathode material in rechargeable lithium batteries. MNQ exhibits the aggregation effect of redox‐active functional groups, the advantage of fast reaction kinetics from molecular structure evolution, and the decreased solubility in aprotic electrolytes resulting from intermolecular interactions. As expected, the MNQ electrode exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 281.2 mA h g−1 at 0.5 C, equivalent to 97.9% of its theoretical capacity, and sustains stable long‐term cycling performance of over 1000 cycles at 1 C. This work adds a new member to the family of organic electrode materials, providing performance‐efficient organic molecules for the design of rechargeable battery systems, which will undoubtedly spark great interest in their applications.
The COVID‐19 pandemic and primary care appointment availability by physician age and gender
Authors: Wisniewski Janna , Walker Brigham , Tinkler Sarah , Stano Miron , Sharma Rajiv 
Published: November 2023

AbstractUsing data generated through simulated patient calls to a national random sample of primary care physicians between February and July 2020, we examine the effects of the first wave of COVID‐19 on the availability of the U.S. primary care physician workforce for routine new patient appointments. As states enacted stay‐at‐home orders, physicians overall became less selective by insurance, and there was a 7 percentage‐point increase in acceptance of patient insurance. Telemedicine appointment offers increased 10.2 percentage points from near zero. However, relative to younger counterparts, physicians older than the sample mean (53.1 years) became 18.1 percentage points less likely to offer appointments and decreased their estimated appointment duration by 7.1 min. Compared to male physicians, female physicians became 10 percentage points more likely to accept new patients. These insights into appointment offers during the first wave of COVID‐19 may help policymakers seeking to ensure an adequate physician workforce during future crises.
Context‐based transfer learning for low resource code summarization
Authors: Guo Yi , Chai Yu , Zhang Lehuan , Li Hui , Luo Mengzhi , Guo Shikai 
Published: November 2023

AbstractSource code summaries improve the readability and intelligibility of code, help developers understand programs, and improve the efficiency of software maintenance and upgrade processes. Unfortunately, these code comments are often mismatched, missing, or outdated in software projects, resulting in developers needing to infer functionality from source code, affecting the efficiency of software maintenance and evolution. Various methods based on neuronal networks are proposed to solve the problem of synthesis of source code. However, the current work is being carried out on resource‐rich programming languages such as Java and Python, and some low‐resource languages may not perform well. In order to solve the above challenges, we propose a context‐based transfer learning model for low resource code summarization (LRCS), which learns the common information from the language with rich resources, and then transfers it to the target language model for further learning. It consists of two components: the summary generation component is used to learn the syntactic and semantic information of the code, and the learning transfer component is used to improve the generalization ability of the model in the learning process of cross‐language code summarization. Experimental results show that LRCS outperforms baseline methods in code summarization in terms of sentence‐level BLEU, corpus‐level BLEU and METEOR. For example, LRCS improves corpus‐level BLEU scores by 52.90%, 41.10%, and 14.97%, respectively, compared to baseline methods.

Published: November 2023

AbstractWith the advancement of innovative technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become quite popular in various applications such as smart homes, smart cities, agriculture, healthcare, and so forth. However, the heterogeneity of IoT protocols can pose security challenges to wireless networks. Thus, we have presented a systematic review of IoT technologies such as ZigBee, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth, WiFi, Ethernet, AR, embedded subscriber identification modules (E‐SIM), and smart sensors, along with their communication protocols, which are part of the IoT‐layered architecture. We have bifurcated the IoT‐layered architecture into the perception, network, and application layers. Furthermore, we have presented IoT security attacks associated with the perception, network, and application layers of the IoT‐layered architecture. Moreover, we have discussed several IoT security solutions, open issues, and research challenges dedicated to the security of IoT networks. IoT security solutions can provide secure and efficient data communication over wireless networks.
Fuzzy‐logical self‐organisation system modelling—Illustrating case of self‐organisation Czech restaurants during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Authors: Šerá Eva , Doubravský Karel , Schüller David 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to show how Niklas Luhmann's concept of self‐organization can be formalized using fuzzy logic. This approach is based on the shared assumptions of systems theory and fuzzy logic and focuses on natural language expression and the complexity of social processes. It involves modelling the operations of the system in relation to the fuzziness of the environment, that is, the transformation of environmental stimuli in gradual uncertainty to binary codes of communication. Based on these operations, it is possible to formalize their unified pattern, which shows the observation of past operations and the simultaneous observation of the environment. An example is given of the formalization of restaurant self‐organization in the Czech Republic during the Covid‐19 pandemic. The model illustrates and explains how the restaurant system reduces lockdown as an environment, in other words, how the system stabilizes its behaviour in a complex pandemic period.
How Do We Do It? Planning for a Truly Inclusive Classroom
Authors: Serceki Allison A. , Curwen Margaret Sauceda 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis article illustrates how two teachers, a general educator and a special educator, used an interactive process in planning an interdisciplinary science unit for an inclusive Kindergarten classroom and how they addressed Universal Design for Learning (UDL) components. This planning process included capitalizing on each teacher's knowledge and expertise, layering resources from within their learning community iteratively over time (not a one‐meeting‐and‐done effort), and harnessing the power of multimodal, interdisciplinary learning. This iterative process was key in allowing teachers to evaluate student engagement and layer in UDL components to address evolving students' needs.
Trade Books to the Rescue!: Combating Misinformation with Science and Literacy
Authors: Wright Katherine Landau , Wenner Julianne , Hodges Tracey S. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractOne strategy for developing science literacy and scientific literacy in young children is through published trade books. To better understand how science literacy and scientific literacy may be represented in elementary classrooms, we investigated children's books that explore science concepts. Specifically, we examined high‐quality science trade books that children are likely to encounter in school to see if they could be used to support science literacy and scientific literacy; skills inherent in these types of literacies can arm our students to combat misinformation. Our findings demonstrate that books are not uniform in quality. Consistent with existing research, and in light of our findings, we make the recommendations to support teachers in elevating science trade books from simply serving as opportunities for reading in science to supporting science literacy and scientific literacy.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo evaluate Cesarean scar defects using saline contrast sonohysterography (SCSH) in women with a history of Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).MethodsA cohort of 38 non‐pregnant women with a history of CSP treated with combined local and systemic methotrexate was investigated prospectively by SCSH. For the purpose of analysis, they were classified, according to the modified Delphi consensus criteria for CSP in early gestation, into three subgroups based on the depth of the gestational sac herniation in the midsagittal plane. Subgroup A included eight (21.1%) cases, in which the largest part of the gestational sac protruded towards the uterine cavity; Subgroup B included 20 (52.6%) cases, in which the largest part of the gestational sac was embedded in the myometrium; and Subgroup C included 10 (26.3%) cases, in which the gestational sac was located partially outside the outer contour of the cervix or uterus.ResultsSCSH revealed that all women in Subgroup C had a uterine niche. The median niche length (P = 0.006) and depth (P = 0.015) were significantly greater in Subgroup C than in Subgroups A or B. The median residual myometrial thickness (RMT) was significantly lower in Subgroup C than in Subgroups A or B (P = 0.006).ConclusionsWomen with prior CSP who had a gestational sac protruding beyond the serosal line had a significantly greater niche length and depth, and lower RMT.

Clinical and biochemical alterations associated with excess calcitonin in a dog with medullary thyroid carcinoma
Authors: Teyssandier Santiago , Campos Miguel , Soler Arias Elber Alberto 
Published: November 2023

AbstractWe present a 10‐year‐old mongrel dog with progressive weight loss, polyuria and polydipsia. Physical examination revealed poor body condition, systemic hypertension (on average 165 mmHg) and a cervical mass that was confirmed by ultrasound in the right thyroid lobe (diameter 4.0 cm). Blood biochemistry on two different days revealed a low ionised calcium concentration (1.1 and 0.81 mmol/L; reference range: 1.1–1.3 mmol/L) associated with an elevated plasma calcitonin concentration in the same sample (44.8 and 49 pg/mL; reference range: <2 pg/mL). A low urine specific gravity (1.012) was also found. Total thyroxine concentration was low, corresponding to euthyroid sick syndrome. Hypercalcitoninemia, hypocalcaemia and clinical signs resolved after an uncomplicated right thyroidectomy. Positive staining of the neoplasm for calcitonin on immunohistochemistry confirmed a medullary thyroid carcinoma. This is the first report describing the clinical signs and biochemical alterations associated with excess calcitonin in a dog with medullary thyroid carcinoma confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
Output Growth in the Baltic Countries in 1913–1938: New Estimates
Authors: Norkus Zenonas 
Published: November 2023

AbstractAssessing the economic performance success of restorations by OIST, it is possible to draw on the MPD (2020) data for the 1973–2018 period. However, MPD does not provide data for the years 1913–1938. This does not mean that there is no output data on the Baltic countries during this period. During the interwar years, Estonian and Latvian economists calculated national income for many years, almost completely covering the second decade of independence. There are three such estimates (for 1924, 1938, 1939) for Lithuania as well. However, they are not strictly comparable due to the lack of standard calculation methodology. Some were used in the first attempt at a cross-time comparable measurement of total output of the Baltic countries in 1913–1928, which was published in the third (and last) edition of the surveyThe Economic Forces of the World, released by Dresdner Bank (1930), and remains a broadly used source in historical statistics. In this publication, estimates of national income in national currencies were converted to German Reichsmark (RM) at gold parity.
An anharmonic alliance: exact WKB meets EPT
Authors: Bucciotti Bruno , Reis Tomas , Serone Marco 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Certain quantum mechanical systems with a discrete spectrum, whose observables are given by a transseries in ħ, were shown to admit ħ0-deformations with Borel resummable expansions which reproduce the original model at ħ0 = ħ. Such expansions were dubbed Exact Perturbation Theory (EPT). We investigate how the above results can be obtained within the framework of the exact WKB method by studying the spectrum of polynomial quantum mechanical systems. Within exact WKB, energy eigenvalues are determined by exact quantization conditions defined in terms of Voros symbols $$ {a}_{\gamma_i} $$

, γi being their associated cycles, and generally give rise to transseries in ħ. After reviewing how the Borel summability of energy eigenvalues in the quartic anharmonic potential emerges in exact WKB, we extend it to higher order anharmonic potentials with quantum corrections. We then show that any polynomial potential can be ħ0-deformed to a model where the exact quantization condition reads simply aγ = −1 and leads to the EPT Borel resummable series for all energy eigenvalues.

“Machine Down”: making sense of human–computer interaction—Garfinkel’s research on ELIZA and LYRIC from 1967 to 1969 and its contemporary relevance
Authors: Eisenmann Clemens , Mlynář Jakub , Turowetz Jason , Rawls Anne W. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis paper examines Harold Garfinkel’s work with ELIZA and a related program LYRIC from 1967 to 1969. AI researchers have tended to treat successful human–machine interaction as if it relied primarily on non-human machine characteristics, and thus the often-reported attribution of human-like qualities to communication with computers has been criticized as a misperception—and humans who make such reports referred to as “deluded.” By contrast Garfinkel, building on two decades of prior research on information and communication, argued that the ELIZA and the LYRIC “chatbots” were achieving interactions that felt human to many users by exploiting human sense-making practices. In keeping with his long-term practice of using “trouble” as a way of discovering the taken-for-granted practices of human sense-making, Garfinkel designed scripts for ELIZA and LYRIC that he could disrupt in order to reveal how their success depended on human social practices. Hence, the announcement “Machine Down” by the chatbot was a desired result of Garfinkel’s interactions with it. This early (but largely unknown) research has implications not only for understanding contemporary AI chatbots, but also opens possibilities for respecifying current information systems design and computational practices to provide for the design of more flexible information objects.

Abstract
Background
Liver transplantation is the state-of-the-art curative treatment in end-stage liver disease. Imaging is a key element for successful organ-transplantation to assist surgical planning. So far, only limited data regarding the best radiological approach to prepare children for liver transplantation is available.

Objectives
In an attempt to harmonize imaging surrounding pediatric liver transplantation, the European Society of Pediatric Radiology (ESPR) Abdominal Taskforce initiated a survey addressing the current status of imaging including the pre-, intra-, and postoperative phase. This paper reports the responses on preoperative imaging.

Material and methods
An online survey, initiated in 2021, asked European centers performing pediatric liver transplantation 48 questions about their imaging approach. In total, 26 centers were contacted and 22 institutions from 11 countries returned the survey. From 2018 to 2020, the participating centers collectively conducted 1,524 transplantations, with a median of 20 transplantations per center per annum (range, 8–60).

Results
Most sites (64%) consider ultrasound their preferred modality to define anatomy and to plan surgery in children before liver transplantation, and additional cross-sectional imaging is only used to answer specific questions (computed tomography [CT], 90.9%; magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], 54.5%). One-third of centers (31.8%) rely primarily on CT for pre-transplant evaluation. Imaging protocols differed substantially regarding applied CT scan ranges, number of contrast phases (range 1–4 phases), and applied MRI techniques.

Conclusion
Diagnostic imaging is generally used in the work-up of children before liver transplantation. Substantial differences were noted regarding choice of modalities and protocols. We have identified starting points for future optimization and harmonization of the imaging approach to multicenter studies.
