Die Bedeutung der Ethik in einer zunehmend technisierten Medizin
Authors: Siegetsleitner Anne 
Published: October 2023

ZusammenfassungIn einer zunehmend technisierten Medizin steigt ebenso die Bedeutung der Ethik. Dies ist insbesondere deshalb der Fall, weil die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Zweck medizinischen Handelns, der in der Gesundheit und dem Wohl der Patientinnen und Patienten liegt, und der zwangsläufig damit verbundenen ethisch-moralischen Dimension durch das Dazwischentreten von Technik nicht mehr so offensichtlich sind. Eine nicht zu unterschätzende Gefahr entsteht durch die irrtümliche Annahme, Verantwortung an KI-Systeme abtreten zu können. Trotz allen Fortschritts ist es jedoch nicht die Künstliche Intelligenz (KI), die Verantwortung trägt und vertrauenswürdig zu sein hat. Vielmehr braucht es vertrauenswürdige und verantwortungsvolle Medizinerinnen und Mediziner, die nur zuverlässige Technik einsetzen. Im Sinne ethisch-moralischer Gesichtspunkte und der Medizin wird es entscheidend sein, sich der Tendenz, Verantwortung abtreten zu wollen, bewusst und entschieden entgegenzustemmen, nicht nur auf technischer und rechtlicher, sondern auch auf persönlicher Ebene. Eine philosophische Ethik, die wissenschaftlich informiert und fundiert argumentiert und selbst die (latente) Technikfeindlichkeit manch geltender Moralsysteme hinterfragt, kann hierbei auf allen Ebenen unterstützen und einen bedeutenden Beitrag leisten.

Published: October 2023

AbstractNatural language processing (NLP) based on deep learning provides a positive performance for generative dialogue system, and the transformer model is a new boost in NLP after the advent of word vectors. In this paper, a Chinese generative dialogue system based on transformer is designed, which only uses a multi-layer transformer decoder to build the system and uses the design of an incomplete mask to realize one-way language generation. That is, questions can perceive context information in both directions, while reply sentences can only output one-way autoregressive. The above system improvements make the one-way generation of dialogue tasks more logical and reasonable, and the performance is better than the traditional dialogue system scheme. In consideration of the long-distance information weakness of absolute position coding, we put forward the improvement of relative position coding in theory, and verify it in subsequent experiments. In the transformer module, the calculation formula of self-attention is modified, and the relative position information is added to replace the absolute position coding of the position embedding layer. The performance of the modified model in BLEU, embedding average, grammatical and semantic coherence is ideal, to enhance long-distance attention.
Efficient and rapid control of Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) by combining benthic mats and hand pulling
Authors: Gagné Vincent , Lavoie Claude 
Published: October 2023

AbstractEurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) is an aquatic vascular plant that forms extensive dense beds in lakes. This invader competes with native plants, interferes with aquatic activities, and decreases riparian property values. In Canada, the use of aquatic herbicides is highly restricted. Environmental managers must therefore rely on physical methods such as hand pulling or benthic matting for control. Although these methods are not new, there has been little scientific investigation regarding their effectiveness and cost over multiple years. Benthic matting and hand pulling were used in Lac des Abénaquis (area: 1.2 km2) to control 3.6 ha of M. spicatum beds. Initiated by citizens in 2016, control procedures were scientifically studied in 2020 and 2021. Benthic fiberglass mats were deployed on dense M. spicatum patches for 10 wk. Isolated plants and patches <100 m2 were hand pulled by divers, and the harvested material surfaced via a suction hose or in hand-filled bags. By August 2021, all the M. spicatum patches had been eliminated, and only 560 widely scattered plants remained. Over the last 2 yr of control, hand pulling required 243 person-hours and removed 2,245 kg of biomass. The biomass brought to the surface was 2.4 times higher per person-hour with the suction system than with bags. The use of 1,000 m2 of benthic mats required 47 to 51 person-hours per summer season, including installation, removal, and maintenance. Intensive management (years 1 to 5) using benthic mats and hand pulling cost an estimated Can$185,000 (US$140,000) ha−1 of M. spicatum bed. Hand pulling of scattered individuals (years 6+), estimated at Can$20,000 (US$15,000) per summer, is essential to avoid reinfestation. An invasion of M. spicatum can successfully be managed in small lakes without herbicides, but control remains a costly and long-term endeavor.
Normal families and quasiregular mappings
Authors: Fletcher Alastair N. , Nicks Daniel A. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBeardon and Minda gave a characterization of normal families of holomorphic and meromorphic functions in terms of a locally uniform Lipschitz condition. Here, we generalize this viewpoint to families of mappings in higher dimensions that are locally uniformly continuous with respect to a given modulus of continuity. Our main application is to the normality of families of quasiregular mappings through a locally uniform Hölder condition. This provides a unified framework in which to consider families of quasiregular mappings, both recovering known results of Miniowitz, Vuorinen and others and yielding new results. In particular, normal quasimeromorphic mappings, Yosida quasiregular mappings and Bloch quasiregular mappings can be viewed as classes of quasiregular mappings which arise through consideration of various metric spaces for the domain and range. We give several characterizations of these classes and obtain upper bounds on the rate of growth in each class.
The Valuation of Collateral in Bank Lending
Authors: Luck Stephan , Santos João A. C. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractWe study the valuation of collateral by comparing spreads on loans by the same bank, to the same borrower, at the same origination date, but backed by different types of collateral. Pledging collateral reduces borrowing costs by 23 BPS on average. The effect varies across different types of collateral, with marketable securities being most valuable, and real estate and accounts receivables and inventory being more valuable than fixed assets and a blanket lien. Further, the rate reduction from pledging collateral is sensitive to the value of the underlying collateral, and collateral tends to be more valuable for smaller and private firms and for loans with longer maturity.
Development and application of recombinase polymerase amplification assay for rapid detection of Blastocystis sp.

Published: October 2023

AbstractBlastocystis sp. is a common parasite in the intestinal tract of humans and animals. The clinical diagnosis of Blastocystis sp. mainly depends on the microscopic observation of parasite, which can lead to false-negative results. An accurate and convenient diagnostic approach for Blastocystis sp. infection is crucial for effectively preventing and controlling blastocystosis. Herein, we developed a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) method for detecting Blastocystis sp. The results showed that the DNA amplification by RPA established in this study could be performed within 5 min at 37°C, with maximum band intensity observed at 30 min. The minimum detection limit of RPA was 100 fg μL−1, consistent with conventional polymerase chain reaction (cPCR). Furthermore, the RPA method exhibited no cross-reactivity with 7 other non-target pathogens in the intestinal tract. Next, the newly established RPA method was used to analyse 40 fecal samples collected clinically, and the detection results were consistent with cPCR. These results corroborate that the newly developed RPA method has good sensitivity and specificity and offers the advantage of short detection times, which can be harnessed for differential diagnosis and rapid detection of Blastocystis sp.
Aquinas's science-engaged theology
Authors: Silva Ignacio , Recio Gonzalo 
Published: October 2023

AbstractScience-engaged theology has emerged as a new way of conducting research within the vast field of science and religion, with the aim of, at least in one way of understanding it today, solving theological puzzles. In this article we suggest that an analysis of the diversity of approaches in which thirteenth-century philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas engaged theological questions with the best knowledge of the natural world available at the time allows twenty-first century science-engaged theologians to move forward the discussion about the different ways of engaging theology with the contemporary natural sciences.
Where you stand depends on where you sit: inconsistencies in Taiwan legislators' positions on importing US meat
Authors: Chen Ian Tsung-yen , Wu Kayden Yi-hsun 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study examines the political dynamics that shape legislators' policy positions on importing US meat into Taiwan during the past decade, focusing on the cases of US beef in 2012 and US pork in 2021. The trade policy surrounding this issue has become politically contentious, involving conflicting national interests and constituency preferences. Legislators face a dilemma, torn between prioritizing the interests of their constituents and aligning with their party's interests. The central argument posits that legislators affiliated with the ruling party are more inclined to advocate for or adjust their stances to support the removal of import bans on American meat, while those associated with the opposition party tend to exhibit a greater reluctance to endorse such a stance. Factors such as the legislators' constituent's interests, district vs party-list affiliations, the urban–rural divide, or education level do not consistently explain legislators' positions on the US meat trade policy. To examine these arguments, this study employs a mixed-method approach, incorporating quantitative analysis and two case studies of individual legislators. The findings of this study offer empirical support for the central proposition.
Parsi capital and imperial infrastructure: Shipping and shopping in the port of Aden, 1840-1888
Authors: Toussia Cohen Itamar 
Published: October 2023

AbstractFor a century following the opening of the Suez Canal, the scale and scope of global capital and information flows was predicated on a chain of imperial outposts like Aden, where ships could replenish their fuel supplies while shorefront godowns and telegraph stations gathered commodities and information to be received, processed, and relayed; by the 1950s, over 5,000 vessels called on the harbour annually, making Aden the second busiest port in the world after New York. This article explores the role of Indian-Zoroastrian (Parsi) capital in shaping the material and institutional development of the port of Aden. Parsi firms mediated between international shipping and the hostile environment of the desert colony, supplying provisions and providing brokerage and agency, or dubash services, literally meaning ‘translator’ in the vernacular. More than a particularly successful comprador community, however, Aden Parsis developed an elaborate transoceanic trade predicated on self-financed, capital-intensive infrastructure projects. Tracing the outsourcing of imperial statecraft to dubashes in Aden allows us to provincialize the making of first-wave globalization, as it was predominantly Parsi capitalists rather than European businessmen who were the driving forces of Aden’s development.
Home is Together: Sounds of Belonging in the Correspondence of Two Japanese American Families Separated by Wartime Incarceration
Authors: Barbour Alecia D. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractDuring World War II, Japanese nationals and U.S. residents Shigezo Iwata and Masaru Ben Akahori were arrested and interned while their wives and children were incarcerated separately. Though wartime correspondence sent from Mr. Akahori to his wife and daughter and from Mrs. Iwata to her husband clearly identifies the United States as “home,” the primary emphasis on home is as a marker of familial reunification. This article posits that the memories and sounds imaginatively recollected and conveyed within the correspondence sent from Sonoko Iwata to her husband, Shigezo, and from Masaru Ben Akahori to his wife, Kiku, and their daughter, served to signify and nurture an ongoing sense of belonging to and togetherness with their respective family members with whom they hoped to once again be home, together.
Increasing the safeguarding of protected areas threatened by warfare through international environmental law
Authors: de Hemptinne Jérôme 
Published: October 2023

AbstractVulnerable ecological areas are often seriously impacted by armed conflicts. In theory, these areas could benefit from the safeguards offered by the international humanitarian law (IHL) regimes of “demilitarized zones” and “undefended localities”, but in practice, these regimes – which are designed to protect human beings from the violence of hostilities, and whose application entirely depends on the goodwill of belligerents – are rarely triggered to protect the environment as such. However, international environmental law (IEL) contains a rich and diversified normative framework which organizes the establishment and management of areas of major ecological importance. While this framework has not primarily been conceived to apply to war-related situations, it could nonetheless play a substantive role in strengthening the IHL normative regimes in two respects. Firstly, it could provide interpretative guidance for these regimes so that they can be oriented towards more “ecocentric” purposes and can be read in accordance with the most advanced IEL standards and mechanisms governing biodiversity hotspots (the “environmentalization” of IHL). Secondly, IEL norms and practices could directly apply during warfare and thus complement IHL in many respects. That said, the co-application of IEL and IHL raises difficult issues of compatibility between these regimes, requiring inter alia that the IEL framework governing protected areas be adapted to the needs and specificities of armed conflicts (the “humanitarization” of IEL).

Response of Dissolved Trace Metals to Dust Storms, Sediment Resuspension, and Flash Floods in Oligotrophic Oceans
Authors: Benaltabet T. , Lapid G. , Torfstein A. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractTrace metals (TM) delivered by atmospheric dust play a key role in oceanic biogeochemical cycles. However, the impact of short‐term environmental perturbations such as dust storms and sediment resuspension events on the oceanic water column is poorly constrained due to the low temporal sampling resolution and episodic nature of these events. The Gulf of Aqaba (GoA), Red Sea, is a highly accessible deep oligotrophic water body featuring exceptionally high atmospheric deposition fluxes that provide the main source of TMs to the GoA surface water. Here, we present a 2‐year time series of dissolved manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, and phosphate concentration profiles sampled in the GoA. The study focuses on daily time scale dust storms and episodes of sediment resuspension to quantify the immediate impact of these events on dissolved TM cycling. Counter‐intuitively, upper mixed layer TM inventories decrease with increasing aerosol loads, with the effects of aerosol‐induced TM scavenging and dissolution peaking 5–6 days after aerosol deposition. Dust storms promote intense TM scavenging, with TM inventories decreasing by up to 44%, but seldom lead to TM enrichment. Similarly, sediment resuspension and flash flood events triggered significant TM scavenging. These findings highlight the potential dual role of atmospheric deposition in the oceans as a long‐term source of dissolved TMs and a short‐term sink. The in situ observations presented here may be used to understand and quantify the global impact of abrupt environmental events on oceanic chemical compositions.
The Geometry, Spatial Distribution and Texture of Slate‐Hosted Calcite Veins in the Helvetic Flysch Units—Insights in Structural and Fluid Processes Within a Paleo‐Accretionary Complex

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe exhumed Infrahelvetic Flysch Units in the eastern central Alps in Switzerland are a field analog to modern accretionary wedges at active plate boundaries. In these seismically active convergent settings, water‐saturated sediments undergo consolidation, and diagenetic to low‐grade metamorphic processes cause complex fluid‐rock interactions. To contribute to the understanding of structural and fluid processes and their interaction with seismic activity, we present quantitative information on the geometrical and spatial distribution of slate‐hosted calcite veins from the Infrahelvetic Flysch Units that show mutual overprinting relationships with the ductile phyllosilicate‐rich matrix. Two vein systems that form in the deeper part of the inner wedge are characterized: (a) layer‐parallel veins (meter‐scale) forming spatially repetitive vein‐arrays and (b) pervasively distributed, steep micron‐veinlets, that cross‐cut the thicker layer‐parallel veins and the ductile matrix. Synchrotron X‐ray Fluorescence Microscopy (XFM) is instrumental in detecting previously unseen densely spaced micron‐veinlets. The spatial distribution of micron‐veinlets indicates pervasive layer‐perpendicular fluid transport in response to dissolution‐precipitation creep through the wedge. Layer‐parallel veins form vein‐arrays with thicknesses on the meter‐scale suggesting that fluids are progressively localized in channels up‐scale. Both vein sets form in an alternating fashion with two different enhanced flux directions, which could be indicative for a critically stressed wedge with near‐lithostatic fluid pressures. The layer‐parallel veins and vein‐arrays could represent seismic events with low magnitude earthquakes (Mw up to 4.0) or slow‐slip events currently found at active plate boundaries, while micron‐veinlets and dissolution‐precipitation processes accommodate slow interseismic deformation.
Decadal Modulation of the Relationship Between Tropical Southern Atlantic SST and Subsequent ENSO by Pacific Decadal Oscillation
Authors: Zhang Shaoyu , Liu Yimin , Dong Buwen , Sheng Chen 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study identifies the relationship between tropical southern Atlantic (TSA) sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) and the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and focuses on how the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) modulates this relationship. Results suggest a significant but non‐stationary interannual TSA‐ENSO relationship which undergoes a significant decadal shift. A strong TSA‐ENSO relationship is observed during the positive PDO phase, while this relationship is weak during the negative PDO phase. Two processes, involving the anomalous Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) and the intensity of air‐sea interactions over the Pacific, are proposed for this decadal shift. During the positive PDO phase, the weak and variable PWC and strong air‐sea interaction facilitate the development of SSTA in the tropical Pacific triggered by TSA SSTA, resulting in a strong TSA‐ENSO relationship and vice versa. These findings emphasize the important role of the modulation of PDO on the TSA‐ENSO relationship.
