Machine Learning for Combustion Chemistry
Authors: Echekki T. , Farooq A. , Ihme M. , Sarathy S. M. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractMachine learning provides a set of new tools for the analysis, reduction and acceleration of combustion chemistry. The implementation of such tools is not new. However, with the emerging techniques of deep learning, renewed interest in implementing machine learning is fast growing. In this chapter, we illustrate applications of machine learning in understanding chemistry, learning reaction rates and reaction mechanisms and in accelerating chemistry integration.
Case Study III: Tuning of Deep Neural Networks
Authors: Bartz-Beielstein Thomas , Chandrasekaran Sowmya , Rehbach Frederik 
Published: January 2023

AbstractA surrogate model based Hyperparameter Tuning (HPT) approach for Deep Learning (DL) is presented. This chapter demonstrates how the architecture-level parameters (hyperparameters) of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) that were implemented in / can be optimized. The implementation of the tuning procedure is 100% accessible from R, the software environment for statistical computing. How the software packages (, , and ) can be combined in a very efficient and effective manner will be exemplified in this chapter. The hyperparameters of a standard DNN are tuned. The performances of the six Machine Learning (ML) methods discussed in this book are compared to the results from the DNN. This study provides valuable insights in the tunability of several methods, which is of great importance for the practitioner.
Global Study: Influence of Tuning
Authors: Zaefferer Martin , Mersmann Olaf , Bartz-Beielstein Thomas 
Published: January 2023

AbstractExpanding the more focused analyses from previous chapters, this chapter takes a broader view at the tuning process. That means, rather than tuning an individual model, this investigation considers the tuning of multiple models, with different tuners, and varying data sets. The core aim is to see how characteristics of the data and the model choice may impact the tuning procedure. We investigate five hypotheses, concerning the necessity of tuning, the impact of data characteristics, the impact of the target variable type, the impact of model choice, and benchmarking. Not only does this entail an in-depth tuning study, but we also tie our results to a measure of problem difficulty and use consensus ranking to aggregate the diverse experimental results.
Case Study II: Tuning of Gradient Boosting (xgboost)
Authors: Bartz-Beielstein Thomas , Chandrasekaran Sowmya , Rehbach Frederik 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis case study gives a hands-on description of Hyperparameter Tuning (HPT) methods discussed in this book. The Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) method and its implementation was chosen, because it is one of the most powerful methods in many Machine Learning (ML) tasks, especially when standard tabular data should be analyzed. This case study follows the same HPT pipeline as the first and third studies: after the data set is provided and pre-processed, the experimental design is set up. Next, the HPT experiments are performed. The R package is used as a “datascope” to analyze the results from the HPT runs from several perspectives: in addition to Classification and Regression Trees (CART), the analysis combines results from the surface, sensitivity, and parallel plots with a classical regression analysis. Severity is used to discuss the practical relevance of the results from an error-statistical point-of-view. The well-proven R package is used as a uniform interface from the methods of the packages and to the ML methods. The corresponding source code is explained in a comprehensible manner.
(De)legitimation Strategies in the Media Statements of Women’s Rights Organisations
Authors: Yoong Melissa 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis chapter examines the (de)legitimation strategies that women’s movement organisations in Malaysia use to advance their policy and issue demands. Sustained pressure from activists has been important to get the state to implement reforms to improve women’s rights in this country. One of the frequent means by which they delegitimise the decisions and practices of the state and claim legitimacy for their own change agendas is through media statements which are widely published and reported in the mainstream press. This case study explores the strategies employed in English language media statements released by the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality, the Women’s Aid Organisation, and the All Women’s Action Society. More specifically, it focuses on statements pertaining to one of the key areas that the groups advocate, namely women’s right to safe, healthy, and gainful employment. Using frameworks on discursive (de)legitimation and social actor representation, this chapter examines the various ways the organisations frame and assess legislation, policies, and political actions that impact the experiences and livelihood of working women. It distinguishes and analyses four main (de)legitimation strategies used in the press statements, which are (de)legitimation through authorisation, rationalisation, discourses of nation-building and discourses of women as victims. The chapter argues that these devices may be effective in shaping public opinion and gender governance outcomes if they are perceived as representing or promoting national interests but potentially constrained by culturally dominant discourses that marginalise feminist ways of thinking.
(De)legitimizing the 2021 Budget Allocation for Tamil Schools in a Talk Show
Authors: Sinayah Malarvizhi , Perumal Thanalachime , Govaichelvan Kumanan , Ramalingam Selvajothi , Maruthai Elanttamil 
Published: January 2023

AbstractTamil vernacular schools provide access to education and career opportunities for Indian Malaysians. Tamil schools are perceived to be an important component of Indian minority rights, an avenue for the Tamil-speaking community to establish and institutionalize their language and cultural identity. However, the government reduced its allocation for these schools in the 2021 budget. Indian political leaders, shouldering the responsibility to channel the discontent among Indians, have raised concerns on various platforms, such as newspapers, social media, and television interviews. It is imperative to observe how Indian political leaders prioritize minority rights while preserving their own or parties’ political interests. Politicians utilize rhetoric to influence the public, but few studies are conducted on the political discourse of Indian Malaysians. This chapter studies an interview in Vizhuthugal-Samugathin Kural, a Tamil talk show televised on Astro Vaanavil. Grounded in discourse studies, this chapter analyzes the (de)legitimizing strategies used by two prominent Indian politicians from MIC and DAP. Although the two parties hold opposite ideologies, this chapter highlights their similarities in advocating minority rights for Indian Malaysians.
‘Remember Our Race, Our Religion and Our Progeny’: An Argumentation Analysis of Malay-Language Newspapers During General Election Campaigns
Authors: Mohamad Jamil Siti Nurnadilla 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis chapter focuses on discursive strategies of legitimation in mainstream Malay-language newspapers during the 13th and 14th general election campaigns. It analyses how editorials and columns published in Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia constructed arguments during the campaign periods from 20 April to 4 May 2013 and 28 April to 8 May 2018. The chapter examines how particular relations of power were enacted, reproduced and legitimised within Malaysia’s government-owned mainstream media, where control was institutionalised. To contextualise and illuminate the discursive and social practices of both campaigns, the analysis is grounded in the discourse-historical approach’s conception of argumentation and pragma-dialectics’ ten rules for rational dispute and constructive arguing. This chapter, therefore, looks at the argumentation strategies employed in editorials and columns serving as a methodical justification of validity claims reflected linguistically using speech acts. The findings demonstrate the politics of fear that characterises much of Malaysian right-wing rhetoric, particularly how fear of the future was employed by Barisan Nasional as it struggled to maintain and retain legitimacy during both campaigns.
Contesting Views in the Representation of ICERD Ratification in English Language Newspapers
Authors: Ang Pei Soo , Kock Yoke Leng 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) is a treaty endorsed by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in 1965. It advocates ending discrimination based on ethnicity and prohibiting the circulation of ideas based on racial superiority or hatred towards ethnic origin. Malaysia is one of the 14 member states that has not ratified ICERD. When the Pakatan Harapan government announced a review of the treaty in October 2018, it sparked a series of protests expressing resentment, predominantly by political and religious leaders, although the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) explained that ratification of ICERD would help to mould a united Malaysia. This chapter aims to unpack how articles in mainstream English language newspapers discursively represent the sentiments of the various parties for and against ICERD. Employing the dialectical relational approach, and premised upon membership categorisation and identity politics, this chapter studiesNew Straits TimesandThe Starand unveils the interplay of racial, social, and political voices and the justifications for the positions taken. The findings indicate that ICERD is largely constructed by social actors using the discourses of fear, threat, and discrimination against the Bumiputeras, who seemingly would be undermined by the minorities. These are discursively manifested in hypothetical forms through the use of conditionals and modality as well as overlexicalisation of vocabulary to intensify the tone of extremity. The debates on ICERD employing the discourses of identity politics seem to be for political gains rather than for the interest of equality and human rights for all Malaysians.
Surgical Complications Requiring Reoperation in Open Versus Minimally Invasive Radical Nephrectomy: A Contemporary Analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundTo explore reoperation rates for different radical nephrectomy (RN) approaches that are experiencing a shift from open radical nephrectomy (ORN) toward minimally invasive surgery (MIS), we aimed to compare reoperation rates along with their culprit etiologies between the different types of surgical approaches for RN.MethodsThe national surgical quality improvement program dataset was used to select patients who underwent RN between the years 2012–2019. A 1:1 propensity score matched analysis was used. Reoperation rates and causes were then compared between open and MIS approach.ResultsThe propensity matched cohort included 15,294 patients. Reoperation rates due to large bowel injury (0.01 vs. 0.14%), vascular injury (0.07 vs. 0.22%), and other abdominal (0.5 vs. 0.77%) were more common in ORN as compared to MIS (MIS vs. ORN, respectively, p < 0.034). Reoperation due to hernia (0.14 vs. 0.03%) was more common in MIS as compared to ORN (p = 0.027). No difference was seen for small bowel injury and incision/wound debridement. General reoperation (1.61 vs. 2.22%) and mortality (0.57 vs. 1.47%) were also more common in ORN as compared to MIS (p < 0.008).ConclusionReoperation due to large bowel injury, vascular injury, and other abdominal was more likely to occur in ORN. Whereas reoperation due to hernia was more likely to occur in MIS. Surgical approach was an independent risk factor for immediate and early reoperation rates in RN patients. These results could be used to counsel patients pre‐operatively on possible surgical approaches and complications.
Comprehensive thermal analysis of a high stability Cu–Zr–Al bulk metallic glass subjected to high-pressure torsion

Published: January 2023

AbstractBulk metallic glass of Cu38Zr54Al8 nominal composition was synthesized by copper mold casting into 6 mm diameter rods. Disks of the as-cast glass were subjected to severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion for different number of revolutions. The microstructure and the thermal behavior of the as-cast, isothermally annealed and deformed glass have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. Continuous heating experiments revealed a two-stage devitrification event with excellent glass forming parameters, such as glass transition (Tg = 671 K), supercooled liquid region (∆Tx = 80 K), reduced glass transition (Tr = 0.57) and gamma parameter (γ = 0.41). Power law crystal growth during diffusion-controlled homogeneous nucleation was observed for isothermal annealings. Glassy state was preserved almost in the entire sample volume of the as-cast alloy during the high-pressure torsion process, corresponding to the extreme stability of the Cu38Zr54Al8 alloy against deformation-induced devitrification. This is in accordance with the transition of the reversible specific heat from the glassy to supercooled liquid state measured by modulated calorimetry. It was also concluded that glassy structure is more ordered in the severely deformed state.
High-operating-temperature mid-infrared photodetectors via quantum dot gradient homojunction
Authors: Xue Xiaomeng , Chen Menglu , Luo Yuning , Qin Tianling , Tang Xin , Hao Qun 
Published: January 2023

AbstractDue to thermal carriers generated by a narrow mid-infrared energy gap, cooling is always necessary to achieve ideal photodetection. In quantum dot (QD), the electron thermal generation should be reduced with quantum confinement in all three dimensions. As a result, there would be a great potential to realize high-operating-temperature (HOT) QD mid-IR photodetectors, though not yet achieved. Taking the advantages of colloidal nanocrystals’ solution processability and precise doping control by surface dipoles, this work demonstrates a HOT mid-infrared photodetector with a QD gradient homojunction. The detector achieves background-limited performance with D* = 2.7 × 1011 Jones on 4.2 μm at 80 K, above 1011 Jones until 200 K, above 1010 Jones until 280 K, and 7.6 × 109 Jones on 3.5 μm at 300 K. The external quantum efficiency also achieves more than 77% with responsivity 2.7 A/W at zero bias. The applications such as spectrometers, chemical sensors, and thermal cameras, are also approved, which motivate interest in low-cost, solution-processed and high-performance mid-infrared photodetection beyond epitaxial growth bulk photodetectors.
Dielectric Mie voids: confining light in air

Published: January 2023

AbstractManipulating light on the nanoscale has become a central challenge in metadevices, resonant surfaces, nanoscale optical sensors, and many more, and it is largely based on resonant light confinement in dispersive and lossy metals and dielectrics. Here, we experimentally implement a novel strategy for dielectric nanophotonics: Resonant subwavelength localized confinement of light in air. We demonstrate that voids created in high-index dielectric host materials support localized resonant modes with exceptional optical properties. Due to the confinement in air, the modes do not suffer from the loss and dispersion of the dielectric host medium. We experimentally realize these resonant Mie voids by focused ion beam milling into bulk silicon wafers and experimentally demonstrate resonant light confinement down to the UV spectral range at 265 nm (4.68 eV). Furthermore, we utilize the bright, intense, and naturalistic colours for nanoscale colour printing. Mie voids will thus push the operation of functional high-index metasurfaces into the blue and UV spectral range. The combination of resonant dielectric Mie voids with dielectric nanoparticles will more than double the parameter space for the future design of metasurfaces and other micro- and nanoscale optical elements. In particular, this extension will enable novel antenna and structure designs which benefit from the full access to the modal field inside the void as well as the nearly free choice of the high-index material for novel sensing and active manipulation strategies.
A novel community‐based local electricity market for multiple communities with joint energy trading considering the risk of participation

Published: January 2023

AbstractGrowing penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) leads to emerging changes and issues in future power systems. A system oprator aims to maximise demnad side energy trading while minimising energy improts from upstream grid. This paper proposes a reliable local energy market (LEM) trading mechanism in which consumers and prosumers can trade self‐produced energy in a multiple community‐based market (MCBM) framework to optimally provide the balance. The proposed framework intends to maximise social welfare by fair allocation of resources, increasing the provided reserve for the main grid, and shaving the peak power resulting in enhancement of network flexibility. The overall model is formulated in the style of a bi‐level problem in which the lower‐level clears the market and the upper‐level is designated to redistribute the costs and benefits among market participants. Furthemore, the conditional value at risk (CVaR) approach is employed to evaluate how risk affects social welfare. Moreover, the impact of multiple communities and joint energy trading on the outcomes of the market is examined. The proposed model has been evaluated by analysing IEEE 33‐bus standard test system, and numerical studies verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
The angry caregiver
Authors: Moran Mary Jeanette 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The Penderwicks series by Jeanne Birdsall and the One Crazy Summer trilogy by Rita Williams-Garcia complicate the societal image of selfless maternal caring by legitimizing caregiving girls’ anger at the burdens placed on them by family members, gendered and racialized social roles, and their own complicity. These children’s texts depict the benefits of female anger, along with other instances of what Teresa Langle de Paz calls ‘feminist emotion,’ for an intersectional feminist ethics of care. Moreover, Williams-Garcia’s books, set during the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s, show that by learning to voice anger and make productive use of that often-abject emotion, young people can gain an apprenticeship in political action alongside a reshaping of interpersonal relationships.
Emotion and the work of decolonization
Authors: Dumas Margaret , Reimer Mavis , Wolf Doris 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This chapter takes up a moment in the production of the Rocky Cree picturebook,
Pīsim Finds Her Miskanaw (2020), when a gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of knowing was made evident to team members involved in the project. In thinking through this event, which centred on the portrayal of dignity in a key scene of the book, we turn to Dian Million’s conceptualization of felt theory (2009, 2013) to consider the extent to which the work of emotion must be understood as part of larger discursive structures of colonization and the uses of emotional knowledge for decolonial practices, specifically including the decolonization of the academic sector. Building on Million’s work in the second part, we use Sara Ahmed’s theorization of repetition and accumulation in the work of emotion (2004) to demonstrate more precisely the ways in which representations of dignity in the picturebook contribute to the project’s goal of decolonizing education.
Secondary senses of the verb afrancesar/se throughout history
Authors: Barrajón López Elisa 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to check whether the secondary meliorative or pejorative senses that the morphological gentilic francés [French] has acquired over time, which are also subject to various circumstances (historical, cultural, social, etc.) have affected the meaning of the verb that has been generated from it: afrancesar/se [to frenchify]. For this purpose, the two syntactic variants that characterize this verb (both the transitive afrancesar and the intransitive afrancesarse) are examined on account of examples extracted from various diachronic and current corpora. These examples are meant to illustrate the notable evolution of the verbal lexeme through the acquisition of the properties represented by the derivational base, which are determined extralinguistically by a shared common knowledge.
Les consonants que separen el catalanovalencià de l’occità
Authors: Cassany-Bates Jordi 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this paper we verify the lists of linguistic differences that multiple authors have presented to characterize Catalan-Valencian in contrast to Occitan. From all the phenomena that have been put forward, we look at the 29 oppositions of the field of sounds – which is the most discussed aspect by the authors – and we study a majority of them, namely the 17 consonantal pairs. In light of current dialectology and historical linguistics, we establish the evolutionary relationship between the opposed forms (especially if one evolved from the other) and their synchronic and diachronic geographical distribution within Catalan-Valencian and Occitan. This analysis provides results that clearly show that those lists simplify reality in excess and invisibilize the intense relationship of Catalan-Valencian with the rest of Occitano-Romance. Therefore, they are not adequate nor sufficient to characterize Catalan-Valencian in contrast to Occitan, at least in the domain of consonants.
Langue minor(is)ée, “langue désirée”?
Authors: Boyer Henri 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
On rend compte et on interroge dans cette contribution de nouvelles pratiques scripturales de l’occitan tout particulièrement dans les domaines du commerce de l’agroalimentaire: la langue dominée, minorée, y apparaît sous les auspices d’une mise en scène de dénominations de produits de consommation. Il s’agit là d’usages (très) minoritaires et relativement récents mais dont la visibilité est inversement proportionnelle à leur normalité. Ils rappellent (mais dans quelle mesure?) un phénomène analysé par ailleurs sous la désignation de “marchandisation” (commodification en anglo-américain).. Ce qui est paradoxal, c’est l’émergence de tels micro-actes glottopolitiques (d’identité) concernant une langue dont la transmission s’est désormais interrompue et dont les usages sociaux “normaux ” sont quasi inexistants. Et ce, dans une concurrence inédite entre la graphie mistralienne et la graphie classique de la langue d’oc.
Production and perception of consonant clusters in nonwords by Southern Iraqi and Najdi Speakers
Authors: Albuarabi Saja , Park Hanyong 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
We investigate the production and perception of Arabic consonant clusters in word-initial and word-final positions, from two dialects, Southern Iraqi and Najdi, which differ in their phonological constraints in allowing consonant clusters. An AX discrimination task and a reading task were conducted using nonsense Arabic words to evaluate perception and production, respectively. The results indicate that Najdi speakers performed better than Southern Iraqi speakers in both production and perception tasks, only for the word-initial position. We also observed a close production-perception link existing at an individual level.
