Blinded by “algo economicus”: Reflecting on the assumptions of algorithmic management research to move forward
Authors: Lamers Laura , Meijerink Jeroen , Rettagliata Giorgio 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis paper reflects on the paradigmatic assumptions and ideologies that have shaped algorithmic management research. We identify two sets of assumptions: one about the “ontology of algorithms” (which holds that human resource management [HRM] algorithms are non‐human entities with material agency) and one about the “ontology of management” that HRM algorithms afford (which understands algorithmic management as a form of control for maximizing economic/shareholder value). We explain how these core assumptions underpin existing research of HRM algorithms, causing blind spots that hinder new ways of understanding and studying algorithmic management. After identifying and unpacking the assumptions and blind spots, we offer avenues to overcome these blind spots, allowing for future research based on new ideological assumption grounds that will help move algorithmic management scholarship further in significant ways.

AbstractObjectiveThe study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of mucosal immunity in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and indicate its current status, hot sopts, and direction of future studies.MethodsThe literature data was collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace 6.1.R3 was employed to conduct a visualization bibliometric analysis of mucosal immunity in IgA nephropathy, including authors, countries, journals, keywords, organizations, references, the bursts of keywords and references, and the timeline of keyword clusters and reference clusters.ResultsA total of 315 publications from 1990 to 2022 were included. The number of articles in this field has increased in recent years. Suzuki H, Coppo R, and Feehally J took the first place parallelly with 18 articles. Japan contributes the most articles, accounting for 27.3% of all the publications. The institutions with the most publications were Juntendo University and University of Alabama Birmingham. 453 keywords were concluded in the analysis, which mainly focus on the mucosal pathogenesis and therapy of the IgAN. The top five co‐cited reference cluster are “aberrantly glycosylated IgA,” “corticosteroids,” “animal models,” “o‐glycosylationm” and “microRNA‐630.” The most recently burst of keyword is “tonsillectomy” and “gut.”ConclusionThis was the first bibliometric analysis to systematically analyze the mucosal immunity in IgAN, which obtained the current status and indicated the future research hotspots and development trends. The gut microbiota and the related therapy‐targeted mucosal immunity might be the future research hotspot.
Exploring the effect of LncRNA DANCR to regulate the Keap1‐Nrf2/ARE pathway on oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis

Published: January 2024

AbstractIntroductionAberrant expression of long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) can regulate oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study focused on investigating the effects of LncRNA differentiation antagonizing nonprotein coding RNA (DANCR) regulation of Keap1‐Nrf2/ARE pathway on inflammation and oxidative stress in RA.MethodsThe levels of LncRNA DANCR/miR‐486‐3p/Keap1 in peripheral blood of 30 RA groups and 30 normal subjects were examined, and the association of LncRNA DANCR with inflammatory indicators of RA was investigated. We stimulated fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) from RA patients with tumor necrosis factor α and subsequently performed in vitro cellular assays to construct overexpression plasmids and small interfering RNAs of LncRNA DANCR to investigate the relationship between LncRNA DANCR and FLSs viability and migration in RA, as well as the effects on cellular oxidative stress factors and Keap1‐Nrf2/ARE pathway; molecular biology analysis was used to predict microRNAs that can bind LncRNA DANCR, and luciferase verified the binding sites of LncRNA DANCR with Keap1 and miR‐486‐3p; to further refine the gene and protein expression results, we used reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting assays.ResultsIn both groups of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, the expression levels of LncRNA DANCR and Keap1 messenger RNA were higher in the RA group than in the normal control group, and the opposite was true for miR‐486‐3p; LncRNA DANCR was positively correlated with total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), IL6, IL17, malondialdehyde (MDA), but not with IL11, rheumatoid factor, cyclic citrullinated peptide, superoxide dismutase (SOD), with 28‐joint disease activity score, reactive oxygen species, C‐reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were negatively correlated; overexpression of LncRNA DANCR stimulated the Keap1‐Nrf2/ARE pathway, decreased the expression of IL10, SOD, TAOC, and increased the expression levels of MDA, IL11, IL‐17, PD‐L1, and silencing of LncRNA DANCR was the opposite, but knockdown of miR‐486‐3p or overexpression of keap1 reversed the expression of the above‐mentioned inflammatory and oxidative factors. In addition, pcDNA‐DANCR clearly showed stronger cell invasion and migration ability and exacerbated its inflammatory response, which may be related to the regulatory role of miR‐486‐3p and Keap1‐Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, and we verified their targeting relationship using dual luciferase, showing that DANCR could regulate Keap1‐Nrf2/ARE through miR‐486‐3p modulates the Keap1‐Nrf2/ARE pathway and affects inflammatory and oxidative responses in RA patients.ConclusionThe low‐expressed LncRNA DANCR may regulate the Keap1‐Nrf2/ARE pathway and suppress the inflammatory and oxidative responses in RA patients.

Raising philanthropic children: Moving beyond virtuous philanthropy, towards transformative giving and empowered citizenship
Authors: Body Alison 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis article seeks to explore how children and young people are socialised to give within a western democracy. Drawing on England as a case study example it tracks the political and pedagogical favouring of a virtues approach to teaching children about philanthropic giving, orientated around benevolence and individual character virtues. Whilst accepting virtues have an important role to play within the socialisation of children as philanthropic actors, this article argues that such approaches maintain the status quo and do little to help engage children, both now and in the future, in challenging systems of inequality and inequity. Instead, this article calls for a more justice orientated approach to cultivating children's philanthropic behaviours, orientated around ideas of justice, activism, and system change.
Non‐thermal Plasma for VOCs Abatement: Recent Advance

Published: January 2024

AbstractVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions are a factor in a number of environmental issues. To reduce the associated negative consequences, it is crucial to develop efficient VOCs removal systems. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) co‐catalytic technology has become a popular research topic in this field as a result of its ability to reduce the activation energy of the reaction while simultaneously improving product selectivity. Despite the huge number of studies synthesising the use of metals and their oxide catalysts in the degradation of VOCs, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF derivatives are the subject of comparatively few studies in this area. This paper reviews the basic principles and technological progress of NTP co‐catalytic VOCs degradation, with a focus on the use of MOFs and their derivatives in plasma VOCs degradation, as well as the use of other non‐metallic carbon materials in plasma VOCs degradation. It highlights the potential future development direction of NTP catalytic synergistic treatment of VOCs by focusing on the optimization of catalytic synergism on the treatment impact. In the end, the challenges faced, the prospects, and our personal perspective on future research directions are also estimated and elucidated.
Three tales of central banking and financial supervision for the ecological transition
Authors: Oman William , Salin Mathilde , Svartzman Romain 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe academic literature and policy discussions on the role that central banks and financial supervisors (CBFS) should play in the ecological transition, almost nonexistent five years ago, have since grown at an impressive pace. This has resulted in a wide range of proposals that often generate debates and even misunderstandings, for lack of a coherent analytical framework. Against this backdrop, this article provides a comprehensive overview of the different theoretical backgrounds and worldviews that inform existing proposals, and discusses the challenges and debates they generate when assessed from other perspectives. We identify three main approaches, or three “tales” of central banking and financial supervision in the face of ecological threats: (i) one that argues that CBFS should focus on assessing the (so‐called “physical” and “transition”) risks that environmental issues pose to price and/or financial stability; (ii) one that places great emphasis on the ability of CBFS to help trigger systemic change, and thereby promotes proactive actions by CBFS to steer financial markets toward greening their activity beyond a risk‐based approach; (iii) one that sees CBFS transformation as necessary but part of broader institutional change that they cannot deliver on their own, thereby requiring an evolutionary perspective. Through this comprehensive literature review, this article seeks to provide a coherent framework through which future academic contributions and policy proposals can be better understood and assessed.This article is categorized under:

Thinking about Cyborg Activism
Authors: Odendaal Nancy 
Published: January 2024

AbstractOne of the qualities of South African cities that surfaced during the Covid-19 pandemic is the inefficient city structure and resultant inequalities that define their everyday functioning. Several civil society organisations have engaged this dilemma directly and poignantly through a host of on- and offline strategies, employed to heighten awareness of the marginalized, assist with resource mobilization, and put pressure on the state to address these issues more effectively. Through examination of two examples, this chapter’s author focuses on the qualities of these mobilization strategies, how they combine technologies, strategies, and stories to enable collective action. What emerges is engagement with public and private spheres, a play between emotion and cool-headed politics, and movement between rational strategy and expressed passion. All these qualities are enabled through a toolkit of digital and analogue techniques, displaying a material-human interface that is dynamic and reflexive. The author explores the term “cyborg activism” as a holding concept for a form of city activism that traverses conceptual and physical spaces.
Non-invertible symmetries, brane dynamics, and tachyon condensation
Authors: Bah Ibrahima , Leung Enoch , Waddleton Thomas 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
We study the Symmetry Topological Field Theory in holography associated with 4d 𝒩 = 1 Super Yang-Mills theory with gauge algebra 𝔰𝔲(M). From this, all the bulk symmetry operators are computed and matched to various D-brane configurations. The fusion algebra of the operators emerges from brane dynamics. In particular, we show that the symmetry operators are purely determined from the center-of-mass modes of the branes. We identify the TQFT fusion coefficients with the relative motion of the branes. We also establish the origin of condensation defects, arising from fusion of non-invertible operators, as the consequence of tachyon condensation in brane-anti-brane pairs.
Flavor fragmentation function factorization
Authors: Larkoski Andrew J. , Neill Duff 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
A definition of partonic jet flavor that is both theoretically well-defined and experimentally robust would have profound implications for measurements and predictions especially for heavy flavor applications. Recently, a definition of jet flavor was introduced as the net flavor flowing along the direction of the Winner-Take-All axis of a jet which is soft safe to all orders, but not collinear safe. Here, we exploit the lack of collinear safety and propose a factorization theorem of perturbative flavor fragmentation functions that resum collinear divergences and describe the evolution of flavor from the short distance of jet production to the long distance at which hadronization occurs. Collinear flavor evolution is governed by a small modification of the DGLAP equations. We present a detailed all-orders analysis and identify exact relations that must hold amongst the various anomalous dimensions by probability conservation and the existence of fixed points of the renormalization group flow. We explicitly validate the factorization theorem at one-loop order, and demonstrate its consistency at two loops in particular flavor channels. Starting at two-loops, constraints on phase space imposed by flavor measurements potentially allow for non-trivial soft contributions, but we demonstrate that they are scaleless and so explicitly vanish, ensuring that soft particles are summed inclusively and all divergences are exclusively collinear in nature. This factorization theorem opens the door to precision calculations with identified flavor in the infrared.
Non-standard axion electrodynamics and the dual Witten effect
Authors: Heidenreich Ben , McNamara Jacob , Reece Matthew 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Standard axion electrodynamics has two closely related features. First, the coupling of a massless axion field to photons is quantized, in units proportional to the electric gauge coupling squared. Second, the equations of motion tell us that a time-dependent axion field in a background magnetic field sources an effective electric current, but a time-dependent axion field in a background electric field has no effect. These properties, which manifestly violate electric-magnetic duality, play a crucial role in experimental searches for axions. Recently, electric-magnetic duality has been used to motivate the possible existence of non-standard axion couplings, which can both violate the usual quantization rule and exchange the roles of electric and magnetic fields in axion electrodynamics. We show that these non-standard couplings can be derived from SL(2,ℤ) duality, but that they come at a substantial cost: in non-standard axion electrodynamics, all electrically charged particles become dyons when the axion traverses its field range, in a dual form of the standard Witten effect monodromy. This implies that there are dyons near the weak scale, leads to a large axion mass induced by Standard Model fermion loops, and dramatically alters Higgs physics. We conclude that non-standard axion electrodynamics, although interesting to consider in abstract quantum field theory, is not phenomenologically viable.
Celestial conformal blocks of massless scalars and analytic continuation of the Appell function F1
Authors: Fan Wei 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In celestial conformal field theory (CCFT), the 4d massless scalars are represented by 2d conformal operators with conformal dimensions h = $$ \overline{h} $$

h
¯

= (1 + iλ)/2. The Mellin transform of 4d massless scalar amplitudes gives the conformal correlators of CCFT. We study the conformal block decomposition of these celestial correlators in CCFT and obtain the explicit blocks. This conformal block decomposition is highly nontrivial, even for the simplest 4d massless scalar amplitude. We use the analytic continuation of the Appell hypergeometric function F1 and the method of monodromy projection of conformal blocks, to achieve this block decomposition. This procedure is consistent with the crossing symmetry, in both the correlator-level and each explicit block-level. We also investigate its behavior in the conformal soft limit and find that the Appell hypergeometric function F1 does not reduce to the Gauss hypergeometric function. This is different from the block decomposition of celestial gluons we studied before, where the Appell hypergeometric function F1 reduces to the Gauss hypergeometric function. This difference comes from the shift of conformal dimensions and is the reason why we adopt the new method here for the block decomposition of celestial massless scalars.

Authors: Waibel Anna-Maria , Bischoff Martina 
Published: January 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Digitale Medizin erlangt zunehmend an Bedeutung, insbesondere durch den verstärkten Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und Telemedizin. Die COVID-19-Pandemie hat diesen Trend beschleunigt und die Notwendigkeit digitaler Kompetenzen im Gesundheitswesen betont. Digitale Kompetenzen werden bisher im Medizinstudium jedoch unzureichend vermittelt.

Ziel
Durch die Einführung eines Wahlfachs für digitale Kompetenzen in der Medizin wird eine curriculare Lücke an der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Freiburg geschlossen.

Methoden
Das Wahlfach wurde von einer interdisziplinären Arbeitsgemeinschaft entwickelt und umfasst 7 Module zu Themen wie E‑Health, Telemedizin, KI, Krankenhausinformationssystemen und Data Literacy. Jedes Modul besteht aus einer vorbereitenden Selbstlerneinheit, einem theoretischen Teil und einem praktischen Teil. Eine Evaluation wurde durchgeführt, um die Wirksamkeit des Wahlfachs zu bewerten.

Ergebnisse
Im Sommersemester 2022 nahmen 6 Studierende am Wahlfach teil. Die Evaluation zeigt, dass die Ziele des Wahlfachs erreicht wurden. Die Teilnehmenden konnten theoretisches Wissen erwerben und dieses durch praktische Übungen vertiefen.

Schlussfolgerung
Die interdisziplinäre Gestaltung des Wahlfachs fördert den Austausch zwischen Studierenden und Lehrenden und schafft Synergien. Das modulare Format des Wahlfachs ermöglicht es, auch aktuelle Themen, wie generative KI, aufzugreifen. Um digitale Kompetenzen bei allen Studierenden der Humanmedizin zu fördern, ist eine Integration der Themen ins Pflichtcurriculum notwendig.

Abstract
Introduction
Calcaneus is the most commonly fractured tarsal bone. Open reduction and internal fixation of the displaced intra-articular fractures is considered the gold standard treatment. The lateral extensile approach is the most commonly used approach, and usually, the patients are kept in lateral decubitus position. Recent study has descried calcaneus fracture fixation utilizing the lateral extensile approach with the patient in prone position. The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative radiological outcome, reoperation rate, operative and anesthesia time, infection and the wound complications rate between the two groups.

Methods
The data of 49 adult patients with unilateral closed calcaneus fracture underwent open reduction and internal fixation using lateral extensile approach were collected. Postoperative Bohler’s, Gissane angles and complications rate were compared between the two groups.

Results
A total of 49 patients were included. Lateral position was utilized in 26 patients (53.1%), while 23 patients (46.9%) were operated in prone position. Majority of the patients were males 87.8% (43 patients), and the mean age of the patients was 31.12 ± 7.50. The most commonly mechanism of injury was fall from height in (91.8%) of the patients.
The mean preoperative Bohler’s angle was 9.33 ± 13.07 and increased to 22.69 ± 9.15 postoperatively. The mean preoperative angle of Gissane was 130.45 ± 26.98 whereas it was 124.76 ± 17.20 postoperatively. The mean postoperative Bohler’s angle and angle of Gissane were significantly higher among patient who underwent fixation in lateral position (25.88 ± 6.62, 137.15 ± 11.17) when compared to the prone one (19.09 ± 10.35, 110.74 ± 10.81). There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the reoperation rate (p 0.947), infection (p 0.659, operative time (p 0.688), anesthesia time (p 0.522) and wound complications (p 0.773).

Conclusion
Surgical restoration of the Bohler’s and Gissane’s angles with the patient placed in the lateral decubitus position remains superior to the prone position with no difference in the complication rate between the two groups.
