Culturally Responsive, Targeted Social Media Marketing to Facilitate Engagement with a Digital Parenting Program
Authors: Simenec Tori S. , Banegas Jasmine , Parra‐Cardona José Rubén , Gewirtz Abigail H. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractLatinx families who have experienced immigration are often exposed to traumatic experiences before, during, and after migration. Exposure to trauma is associated with health challenges, however responsive and supportive parenting can strengthen adjustment of children who have experienced adversity. Systemic barriers in the U.S. make accessing parenting interventions difficult for immigrant Latinx families. This study investigated the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of a culturally tailored, direct-to-consumer (DTC) social media marketing campaign to engage Latinx parents who have resettled in the U.S with a digital parenting program, Parenting in the Moment. Video and graphic advertisements were delivered on a prominent social media platform in English and Spanish, with each advertisement employing varying messaging tactics. The campaign reached a total of 2,902,440 viewers and engaged 41,835 people who clicked on the link to the parenting program’s webpage. Each link click cost an average of $0.71. Advertisement type and language was associated with advertisement link click, with videos and advertisements in Spanish receiving more engagement compared with English and graphic advertisements. When analyzed separately, the engagement with each video theme differed within English and Spanish advertisements. The current study serves as the first step to understanding the use of digital DTC marketing to engage parents who have experienced immigration with parenting services. Findings support culturally tailored, social media marketing as a cost-effective strategy for increasing access to and engagement with parenting programs for immigrant families.

Authors: Corallo Daniele , Dörfler Willy , Wieners Christian 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWe study weak solutions and its approximation of hyperbolic linear symmetric Friedrichs systems describing acoustic, elastic, or electro-magnetic waves. For the corresponding first-order systems we construct discontinuous Galerkin discretizations in space and time with full upwind, and we show primal and dual consistency. Stability and convergence estimates are provided with respect to a mesh-dependent DG norm which includes the $${\textrm{L}}_2$$

norm at final time. Numerical experiments confirm that the a priori results are of optimal order also for solutions with low regularity, and we show that the error in the DG norm can be closely approximated with a residual-type error indicator.
Placing Perceptions of Unsafety: Examining Spatial Concentrations and Temporal Patterns of Unsafe Locations at Micro-Places
Authors: Kronkvist Karl 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Objectives
To explore the extent to which unsafe locations are concentrated to micro-places within the city of Malmö, Sweden, and whether there is a temporal stability in these micro-places over time.

Methods
Information on unsafe locations is obtained from an open-ended item across three waves of a random sample community survey. Reported unsafe locations are geocoded as polygon, polyline, and point features and merged with a 200 by 200-m grid-cell network using both unadjusted and weighted counts.

Results
The results suggest that unsafe locations are concentrated to a small share of grid-cells using different metrics. There are also signs of spatial clustering and a temporal stability of unsafe locations over time.

Conclusions
As unsafe locations are concentrated to a small share of micro-places the results have important implications for both theory and practice. However, further research exploring unsafety and fear of crime at micro-places is highly warranted.
On two tensors associated to the structure Jacobi operator of a real hypersurface in complex projective space
Authors: Pérez Juande Dios , Pérez-López David 
Published: December 2022

AbstractA real hypersurface M in a complex projective space inherits an almost contact metric structure from the Kählerian structure of the ambient space. This almost contact metric structure allows us to define, for any nonzero real number k, the so-called k-th generalized Tanaka–Webster connection. With this connection and the Levi-Civita one we can associate two tensors of type (1,2) to the structure Jacobi operator $$R_{\xi }$$

How a Minimal Learning Agent can Infer the Existence of Unobserved Variables in a Complex Environment
Authors: Eva Benjamin , Ried Katja , Müller Thomas , Briegel Hans J. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAccording to a mainstream position in contemporary cognitive science and philosophy, the use of abstract compositional concepts is amongst the most characteristic indicators of meaningful deliberative thought in an organism or agent. In this article, we show how the ability to develop and utilise abstract conceptual structures can be achieved by a particular kind of learning agent. More specifically, we provide and motivate a concrete operational definition of what it means for these agents to be in possession of abstract concepts, before presenting an explicit example of a minimal architecture that supports this capability. We then proceed to demonstrate how the existence of abstract conceptual structures can be operationally useful in the process of employing previously acquired knowledge in the face of new experiences, thereby vindicating the natural conjecture that the cognitive functions of abstraction and generalisation are closely related.
Shrinkage priors for high-dimensional demand estimation
Authors: Smith Adam N. , Griffin Jim E. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractEstimating demand for large assortments of differentiated goods requires the specification of a demand system that is sufficiently flexible. However, flexible models are highly parameterized so estimation requires appropriate forms of regularization to avoid overfitting. In this paper, we study the specification of Bayesian shrinkage priors for pairwise product substitution parameters. We use a log-linear demand system as a leading example. Log-linear models are parameterized by own and cross-price elasticities, and the total number of elasticities grows quadratically in the number of goods. Traditional regularized estimators shrink regression coefficients towards zero which can be at odds with many economic properties of price effects. We propose a hierarchical extension of the class of global-local priors commonly used in regression modeling to allow the direction and rate of shrinkage to depend on a product classification tree. We use both simulated data and retail scanner data to show that, in the absence of a strong signal in the data, estimates of price elasticities and demand predictions can be improved by imposing shrinkage to higher-level group elasticities rather than zero.
Win–win Strategies for Transboundary Water Management During the GERD Operating Stage
Authors: El-Nashar Walaa , Elyamany Ahmed 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe list of challenges associated with the operation of the Grand Ethiopian Resistance Dam (GERD) now includes global concern over climate change. Due to their inability to reach a legally enforceable agreement on how to address watershed degradation and water quality, riparian nations are already experiencing peace and security issues. A win–win strategy seeks to develop collaborative solutions to transboundary water management problems while maximizing the benefits for both parties. This paper aims to develop, evaluate, and analyze win–win transboundary water management strategies during the operating stage of GERD. Using value engineering (VE), functional analysis system technique (FAST), and life cycle cost (LCC), the optimal win–win strategy is determined. The study uncovered four distinct value options for various win–win strategies. According to the study results, the third win–win strategy is the most effective way to help both upstream and downstream nations retain peace, as it seeks to encourage riparian countries to collaborate by: i) developing cooperative regulatory policy; ii) switching to renewable energy supported by GERD; and iii) reducing water loss. This study advances our understanding of the topic by providing policymakers with a tool to: i) evaluate win–win strategies for managing transboundary water; and ii) incorporate the added value and functionality into policies regarding transboundary water management.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBone marrow studies currently provide a lot of valuable information in the diagnostics of hematological diseases including hematopoietic stem cells disorders. Our studies on low-molecular weight organic compounds in bone marrow stem cell niche in various pathogenic conditions, revealed relatively high variability of histamine levels in different groups of hematological diseases. It was also found that serotonin levels were significantly lower than those typically measured in peripheral blood as well as many have the influence on stem cells proliferative potential. This paper presents findings from quantitative and statistical analyses of histamine and serotonin levels. Bone marrow collected from patients undergoing routine diagnostic procedures for hematological diseases and receiving inpatient treatment were analyzed. Histamine and serotonin levels were measured using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Obtained data were analyzed statistically and correlated with the diagnosed groups of hematological diseases and the parameters of complete blood counts. Histamine was found in all tested samples, including those from patients without malignancy, and the reported levels were comparable to the reference values in blood. This observation allows us to assume that bone marrow cells can produce and accumulate histamine. Moreover, the statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between histamine levels and diagnosed mastocytosis, and between histamine levels and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Different results were obtained for serotonin, and its concentrations in most cases were below the limit of quantification of the method used (< 0.2 ng/mL), which can only be compared to peripheral blood plasma. In a few cases, significantly higher serotonin levels were observed and it concerned diseases associated with an increased number of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow.
Becoming Self-Compassionate Step by Step — a Field Study on the Effect of Long-Distance Walking on Self-Compassion in Hikers Traveling the Camino Francés
Authors: Steininger Yves , Braun Andreas , Morgenroth Olaf 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Objectives
The present longitudinal field study investigated whether hiking the Camino Francés strengthened self-compassion and tested covered distance, hikers’ motives, and walking alone vs. with other hikers as predictors of the increase.

Method
In the prospective main study with 104 hikers, 67.3% female, M = 36.3 years (SD = 14.2), change was measured by the difference between the first measurement taken on the way and the second measurement at arrival. Additionally, 21 participants, 52.4% female, M = 34.3 years (SD = 14), were recruited upon arrival and reported their actual and their retrospectively rated self-compassion at the start of their tour. Two follow-ups were conducted after 3 weeks and 6 months. Participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) along with measures for mood and life satisfaction.

Results
An increase in self-compassion was observed with d = 0.22 (p = 0.024) in the prospective data, and d = 0.56 (p = 0.018) in the retrospective data, which persisted throughout the follow-ups. In the prospective study, self-compassion was a stronger predictor of mood across time than vice versa. The increase in self-compassion was stronger in participants who walked longer distances (β = .25) and underwent a critical life event (β = .21).

Conclusions
The results suggest long-distance walking as a promising additional means to strengthen self-compassion that could be integrated into compassion training programs. Future research should replicate the observed change across settings and related constructs, determine its causes, and investigate the interdependence of walking and meditation practices in stimulating self-compassion.

Published: December 2022

AbstractDue to their tiny size, autonomous motion and functionalize modifications, micro/nanomotors have shown great potential for environmental remediation, biomedicine and micro/nano-engineering. One-dimensional (1D) micro/nanomotors combine the characteristics of anisotropy and large aspect ratio of 1D materials with the advantages of functionalization and autonomous motion of micro/nanomotors for revolutionary applications. In this review, we discuss current research progress on 1D micro/nanomotors, including the fabrication methods, driving mechanisms, and recent advances in environmental remediation and biomedical applications, as well as discuss current challenges and possible solutions. With continuous attention and innovation, the advancement of 1D micro/nanomotors will pave the way for the continued development of the micro/nanomotor field.
God Images in the Cities of Bilbao, Cordoba, Lima, and Montevideo: a Qualitative Study
Authors: de León Juan Luis , Rodríguez Lidia , Uriarte Luzio , Vide Vicente , Basterretxea Iziar 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze God images reflected in 57 interviews conducted among Catholics, Evangelicals, and other people without religious self-identification (“unaffiliated”). The interviews, which follow the Lived Religion approach, were carried out in three Latin American cities (Córdoba, Lima, and Montevideo), and in the city of Bilbao (Spain). In the latter city, both the Latin American immigrant population and the local population were considered. The systematic analysis of the interviews lets us identify a multi-faceted imaginary of the divine with diverse nuances in the images of the benevolent God, the authoritarian God and other hybrid God images. Likewise, it is striking to note what is, and what is not God, as it is reflected in various interviews. The analysis of the identified quotations suggests some differences in God images, based on geographical location and religious belonging, as well as the specific case of the unaffiliated to any religious faith.
A fresh view of China’s OFDI, its motivations and risks thereto
Authors: Foster M. John 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe aims of this paper are: to examine the key reasons for the locations of and the reasons for China’s OFDI as it boomed and became a major OFDI player in the global economy; and, to assess the existence and nature of possible risks to such a boom continuing. The core of the paper, in its second section, is a time-indexed review of findings relating to the first theme noted above. The broad conclusions are that: China’s OFDI has been a great success in the period 2005–2019; its motivations have included all the usual possibilities, such as access to resources, market access, access to and reverse engineering of technology (very broadly construed), and access to cheap labour for manufacturing; but, it has also sought to wield political influence via infrastructural investment, and its increasingly hostile attitudes in geopolitical terms in the past decade may pose consequential threats to a continuation of the success to date.
The role of heat pump in heating decarbonization for China carbon neutrality
Authors: YAN Hongzhi , WANG Ruzhu , Zhang Chuan , Xu Zhenyuan , Hu Bin , Shao Zhao 
Published: December 2022

AbstractHeating decarbonization is a major challenge for China to meet its 2060 carbon neutral commitment, yet most existing studies on China’s carbon neutrality focus on supply side (e.g., grid decarbonization, zero-carbon fuel) rather than demand side (e.g., heating and cooling in buildings and industry). In terms of end use energy consumption, heating and cooling accounts for 50% of the total energy consumption, and heat pumps would be an effective driver for heating decarbonization along with the decarbonization on power generation side. Previous study has discussed the underestimated role of the heat pump in achieving China’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. In this paper, various investigation and assessments on heat pumps from research to applications are presented. The maximum decarbonization potential from heat pump in a carbon neutral China future could reach around 1532Mton and 670Mton for buildings and industrial heating respectively, which show nearly 2 billion tons CO2 emission reduction, 20% current CO2 emission in China. Moreover, a region-specific technology roadmap for heat pump development in China is suggested. With collaborated efforts from government incentive, technology R&D, and market regulation, heat pump could play a significant role in China’s 2060 carbon neutrality.
Differential manifestation of RONS and antioxidant enzymes in response to singular versus combinatorial stress in Chironomus ramosus
Authors: Bomble Pratibha , Nath Bimalendu B. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn nature, organisms face multiple abiotic stress concurrently. Our previous study has indicated how threshold level of lethality depends on the type and combination of stressors. Many mechanisms exist by which organisms respond to stressors and maintain homeostasis. We examined the homeostatic pliability in an extremophilic oriental midge Chironomus ramosus larvae under various combinatorial stress conditions of desiccation (DS), heat (HS) and starvation (SS). Exposure to these stressors led to activation of a common response pathway of oxidative stress. Abundance of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase along with selective as well as stressor specific increase in total antioxidant capacity were reflected from the corresponding level of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in larvae exposed to various combinatorial stress. Additionally, we found stressor specific increment in lipid peroxidation level, protein carbonyl content and advanced oxidative protein products during the stress regime. Further investigation revealed a sharp decline in the activity of mitochondrial aconitase enzyme activity in response to abiotic stress induced oxidative stress. The combinatorial stressor specific comparative study based on biochemical and fluorescence based redox-endpoint assays confirmed that the generation of oxidative stress is the consequential convergent pathway of DS, HS and SS, but the quantum of RONS decides the redox potential of homeostatic response and survival rate.

AbstractDirac materials, starting with graphene, have drawn tremendous research interest in the past decade. Instead of focusing on the $p_{z}$

orbital as in graphene, we move a step further and study orbital-active Dirac materials, where the orbital degrees of freedom transform as a two-dimensional irreducible representation of the lattice point group. Examples of orbital-active Dirac materials occur in a broad class of systems, including transition-metal-oxide heterostructures, transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers, germanene, stanene, and optical lattices. Different systems are unified based on symmetry principles. The band structure of orbital-active Dirac materials features Dirac cones at $K(K')$

and quadratic band touching points at Γ, regardless of the origin of the orbital degrees of freedom. In the strong anisotropy limit, i.e., when the π-bonding can be neglected, flat bands appear due to the destructive interference. These features make orbital-active Dirac materials an even wider playground for searching for exotic states of matter, such as the Dirac semi-metal, ferromagnetism, Wigner crystallization, quantum spin Hall state, and quantum anomalous Hall state.
The Ten Most Common Questions on Cytomegalovirus Infection in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients
Authors: Zakhour Johnny , Allaw Fatima , Haddad Sara F. , Kanj Souha S. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWith the rising number of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), clinicians are more likely to encounter infectious complications in immunocompromised hosts, particularly cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Besides the high mortality of CMV end-organ disease, patients with detectable CMV viremia may have worse outcomes and decreased survival even in the absence of end-organ disease. In view of the implications on morbidity and mortality, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion and initiate antiviral drugs promptly when CMV infection is confirmed. High-risk patients should be identified in order to provide optimal management. Additionally, novel antiviral agents with a good safety profile and minor adverse events are now available for prophylaxis in high-risk patients and for treatment of resistant or refractory CMV infection. The following review provides concise, yet comprehensive, guidance on the burden and risk factors of CMV in this population, as well as an update on the latest evidence for the management of CMV infection.

Abstract
Objective
Describe the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on subject enrollment in a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Study design
We assessed the number of eligible infants approached and consented for enrollment over five separate epochs including baseline, peak pandemic, and gradual but incomplete recovery.

Result
The pandemic had a major effect on ability to approach parents for consent. Parents approached dropped from 95.4% baseline to 13.1% in the peak pandemic epoch and has not recovered to baseline even in the just-completed post-pandemic epoch (84.9%). Despite the decrease in subjects approached, there was no significant change in the overall consent rate for the study

Conclusion
The pandemic has significantly limited ability to approach parents of eligible infants for consent, with only partial recovery. Opportunities for interactions of investigators and study coordinators with parents continue to present challenges limiting full recovery.
