ChamelIoT: a tightly- and loosely-coupled hardware-assisted OS framework for low-end IoT devices
Authors: Silva Miguel , Gomes Tiago , Ekpanyapong Mongkol , Tavares Adriano , Pinto Sandro 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe evergrowing Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem continues to impose new requirements and constraints on every device. At the edge, low-end devices are getting pressured by increasing workloads and stricter timing deadlines while simultaneously are desired to minimize their power consumption, form factor, and memory footprint. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) emerge as a possible solution for the increasing demands of the IoT. Reconfigurable IoT platforms enable the offloading of software tasks to hardware, enhancing their performance and determinism. This paper presents ChamelIoT, an agnostic hardware operating systems (OSes) framework for reconfigurable IoT devices. The framework provides hardware acceleration for kernel services of different IoT OSes by leveraging the RISC-V open-source instruction set architecture (ISA). The ChamelIoT hardware accelerator can be deployed in a tightly- or loosely-coupled approach and implements the following kernel services: thread management, scheduling, synchronization mechanisms, and inter-process communication (IPC). ChamelIoT allows developers to run unmodified applications of three well-established OSes, RIOT, Zephyr, and FreeRTOS. The experiments conducted on both coupling approaches consisted of microbenchmarks to measure the API latency, the Thread Metric benchmark suite to evaluated the system performance, and tests to the FPGA resource consumption. The results show that the latency can be reduced up to 92.65% and 89.14% for the tightly- and loosely-coupled approaches, respectively, the jitter removed, and the execution performance increased by 199.49% and 184.85% for both approaches.
Oscillatory integral operators with homogeneous phase functions
Authors: Schippa Robert 
Published: December 2023

AbstractOscillatory integral operators with 1-homogeneous phase functions satisfying a convexity condition are considered. For these we show the Lp–Lp-estimates for the Fourier extension operator of the cone due to Ou–Wang via polynomial partitioning. For this purpose, we combine the arguments of Ou–Wang with the analysis of Guth–Hickman–Iliopoulou, who previously showed sharp Lp–Lp-estimates for non-homogeneous phase functions with variable coefficients under a convexity assumption. Furthermore, we provide examples exhibiting Kakeya compression, which shows a more restrictive range than dictated by the Knapp example in higher dimensions. We apply the oscillatory integral estimates to show new local smoothing estimates for wave equations on compact Riemannian manifolds (M, g) with dim M ≥ 3. This generalizes the argument for the Euclidean wave equation due to Gao–Liu–Miao–Xi.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background
Chronic pain is a common problem in adults that can have a significant impact on individuals’ quality of life and on society. The complex pain experience emerges from a dynamic combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Previous research has shown that social support has positive effects on health-related outcomes through two mechanisms: direct-effects and stress-buffering effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the role that perceived stress, perceived social support, and their interaction play as predictors of global physical health and global mental health in adults with chronic pain.

Method
One hundred sixty-five adults with chronic pain completed measures of pain, perceived stress, perceived social support, global physical health, and global mental health.

Results
Perceived stress but not perceived social support made a significant and independent contribution to the prediction of global physical health; both perceived stress and perceived social support made independent contributions to the prediction of global mental health. The perceived stress × perceived social support interaction did not make a significant contribution to the prediction of either criterion variable. The results suggested that perceived stress has an impact on both global physical and mental health, whereas perceived social support associated mostly with global mental health. In addition, perceived social support does not appear to moderate the impact of stress on global physical and mental health.

Conclusion
The findings are more consistent with a direct-effects model than a stress-buffering model of social support.
A Survey on Association Rule Mining for Enterprise Architecture Model Discovery
Authors: Pinheiro Carlos , Guerreiro Sergio , Mamede Henrique S. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAssociation Rule Mining (ARM) is a field of data mining (DM) that attempts to identify correlations among database items. It has been applied in various domains to discover patterns, provide insight into different topics, and build understandable, descriptive, and predictive models. On the one hand, Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a coherent set of principles, methods, and models suitable for designing organizational structures. It uses viewpoints derived from EA models to express different concerns about a company and its IT landscape, such as organizational hierarchies, processes, services, applications, and data. EA mining is the use of DM techniques to obtain EA models. This paper presents a literature review to identify the newest and most cited ARM algorithms and techniques suitable for EA mining that focus on automating the creation of EA models from existent data in application systems and services. It systematically identifies and maps fourteen candidate algorithms into four categories useful for EA mining: (i) General Frequent Pattern Mining, (ii) High Utility Pattern Mining, (iii) Parallel Pattern Mining, and (iv) Distribute Pattern Mining. Based on that, it discusses some possibilities and presents an exemplification with a prototype hypothesizing an ARM application for EA mining.
Development and application of an integrated system of dewatering and recharge for the deep foundation pit

Published: December 2023

AbstractA large amount of pumping in the deep foundation pit will reduce the groundwater level and lead to surface cracking, building settlement, ground collapse and spring water cut-off. And the groundwater recharge is a good control measure. An integrated system of dewatering and recharge for the deep foundation pit is developed, and it is mainly composed of a pumping system, an assembled water tank, a variable frequency pressure system, a cleaning and filtering system, a recharge pressure tank, a recharge well system and a central control system. This system can realize intelligent automatic control according to the monitoring data. It does not require staff to operate on site and can be remotely adjusted by computer or mobile phone. Taking a subway station under construction in Jinan as the background, the single well recharge test and the multiple wells recharge test were carried out. It can be found that with the increase of recharge pressure, the recharge volume gradually increases, but the increasing trend is smaller and smaller. The relationship between the groundwater level and the recharge volume is a logarithmic function. Blindly increasing recharge wells may not improve the overall reinjection volume, and the relationship between the number of recharge wells, the diameter of reinjection pipes and the maximum recharge capacity of the variable frequency pressure system needs to be comprehensively considered.
Mentalizing and Binge Eating Disorder
Authors: Myhre Julianne Solvik , Ødegård Magnar 
Published: December 2023

AbstractBinge eating disorder (BED) is presumed to be the most common kind of eating disorder. However, the knowledge of BED in general society is low, and treatment options have been lacking or not been of sufficient quality. This article applies mentalizing as a theoretical framework to analyze descriptions of BED. The study suggests that descriptions of social, emotional, and cognitive characteristics of BED can be interpreted as impaired mentalizing. However, several of these impaired mentalizing traits can also be seen as a result of cultural and social tendencies, more so than a pathological component solely linked to BED. This article aims to gain deeper insights into the social, emotional, and cognitive aspects of BED. We refer to interviews with three adult females who earlier struggled with BED. Our theoretical and empirical exploration indicates that BED touches upon a wide array of areas related to mentalizing, such as inner confusion, psychological reality, and (social) self-concept.
Christians, Muslims, and Jews: Turkey and the management of refugees from Greece during World War II
Authors: Lamprou Alexandros 
Published: December 2023

AbstractApproximately 70,000 people were displaced from Greece to Turkey and the Middle East during World War II. Following a presentation of the geography, statistics, and timeframe of the displacement, and Turkey’s interwar demographic policies, the article studies Turkey’s management of this refugee movement. Based on Greek, Turkish, and British archival material, the article argues that Turkish wartime refugee policy took shape in the intersection of two occasionally contradictory attributes. On the one hand, there were the state’s demographic desiderata and policies that differentiated incoming refugees on account of their ethnic and religious identities. On the other, Turkey’s reaction was necessarily conditioned by the military, political, and diplomatic conjuncture of the war. It was this conditionality that explains the inconsistences and shifts in refugee management and its rationale during the war, for instance, the differentiation in the treatment of Jewish and Christian refugees, but also in the management of Greek Muslims in 1941–1942 and in 1944–1945.
Housing and Patrimonial (Property) Violence against Women: The Reproduction of Gender Asset Inequalities in Brazil
Authors: Ludermir Raquel 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAccessing and retaining adequate housing can be a major challenge for low-income city residents, particularly women trying to escape domestic abuse. Focusing on housing struggles amidst urban poverty, this article explores a specific kind of gender-based violence – violation of women's property rights – recognised by Latin American legal systems as ‘patrimonial violence against women’. Drawing on qualitative research in Brazil, this article shows how women are likely to experience gendered evictions and dispossession, and why patrimonial violence against women remains largely misunderstood and underreported, despite legal progress. The discussion expands current understandings of the interplay between gender, violence (explicit or otherwise) and the reproduction of asset inequalities.
Reciprocity, Inequality, and Unsuccessful Rescues
Authors: Eskens Romy 
Published: December 2023

AbstractForced choices between rescuing imperilled persons are subject to a presumption of equality. Unless we can point to a morally relevant difference between these persons' imperilments, each should get an equal chance of rescue. Sometimes, this presumption is overturned. For example, when one imperilled person has wrongfully caused the forced choice, most think that this person (rather than an innocent person) should bear the harm. The converse scenario, in which a forced choice resulted from the supererogatory action of one of the imperilled people, has received little attention in distributive ethics. I argue that, sometimes, we need not offer equal chances in these cases either. When the supererogatory act places the initially imperilled person under a reciprocal duty to bear risks for the supererogatory agent's sake in the forced choice, we may fulfil this duty for them if they are unable to do it themselves, by favouring the supererogatory agent.

Published: December 2023

AbstractObjectivesThe objective of this study was to compare the attitudes and beliefs of PCU physicians leaders in the United States versus Canada regarding the subcutaneous method in the administration of medications and hydration in order to gain a better understanding as to why variations in practice exist.MethodsThis survey trial took place from November 2022 to May 2023. The MD Anderson Cancer Center institutional review board in Houston, Texas, approved this study. The participants were the physician leaders of the acute palliative care units (PCUs) in the United States and Canada. The survey comprised questions formulated by the study investigators regarding the perceived comfort, efficiency, and preference of using the subcutaneous versus the intravenous method. The consent form and survey links were emailed to the participants.ResultsSixteen PCUs were identified in the United States and 15 PCUs in Canada. Nine US and 8 Canadian physicians completed the survey. Physicians in Canada were more likely to use the subcutaneous route for administering opioids, antiemetics, neuroleptics, and hydration. They preferred subcutaneous over intravenous or intramuscular routes (p= 0.017). Canadian physicians felt their nursing staff was more comfortable with subcutaneous administration (p= 0.022) and that it was easier to administer (p= 0.02). US physicians felt the intravenous route was more efficient (p= 0.013).Significance of resultsThe study results suggest that exposure to the subcutaneous route influences a physician’s perception. Further research is needed to explore ways to incorporate its use to a greater degree in the US healthcare system.
BEYOND LINGUISTIC INTERPRETATION IN THEORY COMPARISON
Authors: MEADOWS TOBY 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis paper assembles a unifying framework encompassing a wide variety of mathematical instruments used to compare different theories. The main theme will be the idea that theory comparison techniques are most easily grasped and organized through the lens of category theory. The paper develops a table of different equivalence relations between theories and then answers many of the questions about how those equivalence relations are themselves related to each other. We show that Morita equivalence fits into this framework and provide answers to questions left open in Barrett and Halvorson [4]. We conclude by setting up a diagram of known relationships and leave open some questions for future work.
Evaluating the Psychometric Properties of the Romanian Version of	Thriving at Work Scale
Authors: Okros Norberth , Vîrgă Delia 
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The present research aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Romanian version of the thriving at work scale (TWS). Three studies were conducted to test the reliability and validity of the TWS. The first study ( N = 451) aimed to adapt and validate the Romanian version of TWS. The confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the second-order model with 10-items has a good value of the fit indices. The second study ( N = 435) tested measurement invariances, demonstrating that the Romanian version of this scale has varying levels of thriving at work across job tenure and a differential functioning of items 2 and 9 across age. The third study ( N = 312) cross-validated the second-order model. It tested the construct-related validity of TWS with other relevant constructs (job and career satisfaction, burnout, mental health complaints, performance). The results indicated that the TWS is a reliable and valid instrument demonstrating the crucial implications for Romanian working people’s well-being and career development.
Development and Validation of the Work Orientation Questionnaire Short-Form (WOQ-SF)
Authors: Liu Doudou , Wang Yiming , Li Chaoping 
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This research aims to develop a 15-item short form of the WOQ (WOQ-SF) and provide evidence for its reliability and validity. In Study 1 ( N = 305), we simplified the WOQ into a short version in line with the scale reduction procedure and recommendations ( Kruyen et al., 2013 ; Stanton et al., 2002 ). The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) reveals that the five factors of the WOQ-SF are conceptually distinct and correlated with each other. In Study 2 ( N = 442), the psychometric properties of the WOQ-SF were investigated. The findings of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirm a good factor structure. In addition, the measurement invariance of this shortened scale was examined across gender, age, education level, and job tenure. Regarding validity, significant correlations between the WOQ-SF and the original WOQ were found. Furthermore, the WOQ-SF demonstrates relationships with career satisfaction, work engagement, job satisfaction, and career planning, providing evidence for its validity. In sum, the WOQ-SF shows good psychometric properties comparable to the WOQ, suggesting it is a suitable alternative.

AbstractMembrane transporters are important determinants of drug bioavailability. Their expression and activity affect the intracellular drug concentration in leukemic cells impacting response to therapy. Pharmacogenomics represents genetic markers that reflect allele arrangement of genes encoding drug transporters associated with treatment response. In previous work, we identified SNP rs460089 located in the promotor of SLC22A4 gene encoding imatinib transporter OCTN1 as influential on response of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia treated with imatinib. Patients with rs460089-GC pharmacogenotype had significantly superior response to first-line imatinib treatment compared to patients with rs460089-GG. This study investigated whether pharmacogenotypes of rs460089 are associated with sustainability of treatment-free remission (TFR) in patients from the EUROpean Stop Kinase Inhibitor (EURO-SKI) trial. In the learning sample, 176 patients showed a significantly higher 6-month probability of molecular relapse free survival (MRFS) in patients with GC genotype (73%, 95% CI: 60–82%) compared to patients with GG (51%, 95% CI: 41–61%). Also over time, patients with GC genotype had significantly higher MRFS probabilities compared with patients with GG (HR: 0.474, 95% CI: 0.280-0.802, p = 0.0054). Both results were validated with data on 93 patients from the Polish STOP imatinib study. In multiple regression models, in addition to the investigated genotype, duration of TKI therapy (EURO-SKI trial) and duration of deep molecular response (Polish study) were identified as independent prognostic factors. The SNP rs460089 was found as an independent predictor of TFR.

Abstract
Study design
Cross-sectional survey.

Objective
Currently there is limited evidence and guidance on the management of mild degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) and asymptomatic spinal cord compression (ASCC).
Anecdotal evidence suggest variance in clinical practice. The objectives of this study were to assess current practice and to quantify the variability in clinical practice.

Methods
Spinal surgeons and some additional health professionals completed a web-based survey distributed by email to members of AO Spine and the Cervical Spine Research Society (CSRS) North American Society. Questions captured experience with DCM, frequency of DCM patient encounters, and standard of practice in the assessment of DCM. Further questions assessed the definition and management of mild DCM, and the management of ASCC.

Results
A total of 699 respondents, mostly surgeons, completed the survey. Every world region was represented in the responses. Half (50.1%, n = 359) had greater than 10 years of professional experience with DCM. For mild DCM, standardised follow-up for non-operative patients was reported by 488 respondents (69.5%). Follow-up included a heterogeneous mix of investigations, most often at 6-month intervals (32.9%, n = 158). There was some inconsistency regarding which clinical features would cause a surgeon to counsel a patient towards surgery. Practice for ASCC aligned closely with mild DCM. Finally, there were some contradictory definitions of mild DCM provided in the form of free text.

Conclusions
Professionals typically offer outpatient follow up for patients with mild DCM and/or asymptomatic ASCC. However, what this constitutes varies widely. Further research is needed to define best practice and support patient care.

Abstract
Background
Berzosertib (M6620) is a highly potent (IC50  =  19 nM) and selective, first-in-class ataxia telangiectasia-mutated and Rad3-related protein kinase (ATR) inhibitor. This trial assessed the safety, preliminary efficacy, and tolerance of berzosertib in oesophageal cancer (A1 cohort) with RT and advanced solid tumours (A2 cohort) with cisplatin and capecitabine.

Methods
Single-arm, open-label dose-escalation (Time-to-Event Continual Reassessment Method) trial with 16 patients in A1 and 18 in A2. A1 tested six dose levels of berzosertib with RT (35 Gy over 15 fractions in 3 weeks).

Results
No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in A1. Eight grade 3 treatment-related AEs occurred in five patients, with rash being the most common. The highest dose (240 mg/m2) was determined as the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for A1. Seven DLTs in two patients in A2. The RP2D of berzosertib was 140 mg/m2 once weekly. The most common grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs were neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. No treatment-related deaths were reported.

Conclusions
Berzosertib combined with RT is feasible and well tolerated in oesophageal cancer patients at high palliative doses. Berzosertib with cisplatin and capecitabine was well tolerated in advanced cancer. Further investigation is warranted in a phase 2 setting.
