Published: June 2023

AbstractParents’ social comparisons on social networking sites (SNS) is a research area of growing interest. In this study, we examined parents’ positive and negative feelings when comparing with other parents and associations with self-reported distress (i.e., stress and depression) and self-efficacy. We used a sample of 422 Swedish parents of children below the age of five (Mage = 1.29 years). In a first step, we examined construct validity of two new measures on parents’ positive and negative feelings when doing comparisons on SNS. In a second step, we examined associations with self-reported parenting. Results showed that parents reported more positive feelings than negative feelings in relation to other parents on SNS. Further, negative feelings when doing social comparisons were linked to more distress and lower level of self-efficacy, whereas positive feelings when doing social comparisons predicted higher level of self-efficacy, but not distress. These results suggest that negative feelings are related to lower actual levels of distress and self-efficacy, but positive feelings can have an instant positive effect on parents’ perceived competence, but not on their well-being. Practitioners can encourage parents to reflect on who they compare with on SNS and why, as it might enable evaluations that could lead to self-improvement rather than weakening of oneself as a parent.

AbstractThe early identification of a defect that is developing in a bearing is crucial for avoiding failures in rotating machinery. Frequency domain analysis of the vibration signals has been shown to contribute to a better understanding of the nature of a developing defect. Early signs of degradation might be more noticeable in certain frequency bands. The advantages in identifying and monitoring these bandwidths are several: prevention of serious machinery damages, reduction of the loss of investments, and improvement of the accuracy in failure predicting models. This paper presents and compares two approaches for the diagnosis of bearing faults. The first approach was knowledge-based. It relied on principles of mechanics to interpret the measured vibration signals and utilized prior knowledge of the bearing characteristics and testing parameters. The second approach was data-driven whereby data were acquired exclusively from the vibration signal. Both approaches were successfully applied for fault diagnosis by identifying the frequencies of the vibration spectra characteristic for the bearing under study. From this, bandwidths of interest for early fault detection could be determined. The diagnostic abilities of both approaches were studied to analyze and compare their individual strengths regarding the aspects of implementation time, domain knowledge, data processing associated knowledge, data requirements, diagnostic performance, and practical applicability. The advantages, apparent limitations as well as avenues for further improvement of both approaches are discussed.

AbstractFollowing the COVID-19 pandemic, novel vaccines have successfully reduced severe disease and death. Despite eliciting lower antibody responses, adenoviral vector vaccines are nearly as effective as mRNA vaccines. Therefore, protection against severe disease may be mediated by immune memory cells. We here evaluated plasma antibody and memory B cells (Bmem) targeting the SARS-CoV-2 Spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) elicited by the adenoviral vector vaccine ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca), their capacity to bind Omicron subvariants, and compared this to the response to mRNA BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccination. Whole blood was sampled from 31 healthy adults pre-vaccination and 4 weeks after dose one and dose two of ChAdOx1. Neutralizing antibodies (NAb) against SARS-CoV-2 were quantified at each time point. Recombinant RBDs of the Wuhan-Hu-1 (WH1), Delta, BA.2, and BA.5 variants were produced for ELISA-based quantification of plasma IgG and incorporated separately into fluorescent tetramers for flow cytometric identification of RBD-specific Bmem. NAb and RBD-specific IgG levels were over eight times lower following ChAdOx1 vaccination than BNT162b2. In ChAdOx1-vaccinated individuals, median plasma IgG recognition of BA.2 and BA.5 as a proportion of WH1-specific IgG was 26% and 17%, respectively. All donors generated resting RBD-specific Bmem, which were boosted after the second dose of ChAdOx1 and were similar in number to those produced by BNT162b2. The second dose of ChAdOx1 boosted Bmem that recognized VoC, and 37% and 39% of WH1-specific Bmem recognized BA.2 and BA.5, respectively. These data uncover mechanisms by which ChAdOx1 elicits immune memory to confer effective protection against severe COVID-19.
A New Mathematical Model for the Characterization of Viscosity Variations in the Aqueous Solutions of Monoalcohols and Polyalcohols

Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the viscosity of binary mixtures of water with different monoalcohols and polyalcohols. The viscosity values of the mixtures of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol were taken from a study published by Herraez and Belda (2004). The values for ethylene glycol, glycerin, and sorbitol were measured using a similar protocol. The viscosity of the mixture is expressed as a function of the molar fraction of the alcohols that ranges from 0 (pure solvent, water in this case) to 1 (pure solute). To represent the viscosity of these mixtures, a new variable, Φ, was introduced. This representation provides a function, η = f(Φ), that has an exponential nature, with which excellent correlation coefficients are achieved with only one coefficient for monoalcohols or two coefficients for polyalcohols. Additionally, the variable Φ highlights the possible critical points, where physicochemical interactions occur between the components of the mixture.
AutoTag: automated metadata tagging for film post-production
Authors: Sandoval-Castañeda Marcelo , Copti Scandar , Shasha Dennis 
Published: June 2023

AbstractFilm post-production can be time- and money-inefficient. The reason is that a lot of the work involves a person or group of people, called metadata taggers, going through each individual piece of media and marking it up with relevant tags, such as the scene number, transcripts, and the type of shot for video footage. Such a task is particularly time-consuming for films with high shooting ratios (i.e., footage shot/footage shown). AutoTag automates much of the tagging process across 16 languages, saving both time and money. We describe the algorithms and implementation of AutoTag and report on some case studies.

C environments for times varying between one and one hundred hours was investigated. In particular, the focus was set on the evolution of oxidation and precipitation phenomena during thermal exposure. Three surface states were considered: two generated through shot peening treatments featuring different coverage levels, while the third condition is a non-peened one. Shot peening treatments modify the surface condition and introduce higher residual stresses and microhardness values than in the non-treated condition. The morphology of the oxides appears to be different depending on the condition observed. Regarding the kinetics, over time the oxidation process follows a parabolic trend and appears to be influenced by the surface state; in particular, severe shot peening treatment is characterized by the highest intensity of the phenomenon. However, the order of magnitude of the weight gains measured suggests that the observed variations can be neglected, and that the positive effect of shot peening can be exploited without introducing oxidation problems. From the point of view of the microstructural evolution, an increase in the coarsening kinetics of $$\gamma$$

AbstractThis research aims to remove two phenothiazines, promazine (PRO) and promethazine (PMT), from their individual and binary mixtures using olive tree pruning biochar (BC-OTPR). The impact of individual and combinatory effects of operational variables was evaluated for the first time using central composite design (CCD). Simultaneous removal of both drugs was maximized utilizing the composite desirability function. At low concentrations, the uptake of PRO and PMT from their individual solutions was achieved with high efficiency of 98.64%, 47.20 mg/g and 95.87%, 38.16 mg/g, respectively. No major differences in the removal capacity were observed for the binary mixtures. Characterization of BC-OTPR confirmed successful adsorption and showed that the OTPR surface was predominantly mesoporous. Equilibrium investigations revealed that the Langmuir isotherm model best describes the sorption of PRO/PMT from their individual solutions with maximum adsorption capacities of 640.7 and 346.95 mg/g, respectively. The sorption of PRO/PMT conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Regeneration of the adsorbent surface was successfully done with desorption efficiencies of 94.06% and 98.54% for PRO and PMT, respectively, for six cycles.Graphical abstract
Experimental proof-of-concept of the effect of inlet geometry on excavation forces and their reduction for small-scale continuous excavators

Published: June 2023

AbstractFuture in situ resource utilisation (ISRU) lunar mission concepts will require mechanisms that allow the available feedstock–mainly the lunar regolith–to be extracted from the lunar surface. Such extraction techniques in the reduced gravity environment of the Moon will need to minimise excavation forces, due to mass restrictions for robotic landers/vehicles and the large financial implications of placing cargo onto Earth’s satellite. An investigation of necessary excavation forces, both horizontally as well as vertically, for small-scale continuous lunar excavation systems based on their geometric inlet shapes, cutting angles, and digging depths has been undertaken. The use of vibration to disaggregate lunar soil and to reduce the necessary forces is explored as a proof-of-concept. Tests performed in a large analogue testbed have shown that the optimisation of the cutting geometry is crucial, as it inherently influences the necessary forces or even prevents deeper cuts into the soil. Our experiments indicate that shallow cuts (low digging depth) into soil at shallow angles are beneficial, and that the piling up of large surcharge masses must be avoided. Critically, applying vibration to cutting edges seems highly beneficial, as the achievable force reductions of up to 50% in the tested conditions far outweigh the additional power requirements. To make these implications immediately applicable to a wider audience, an estimation of available traction forces for certain robotic vehicles based on their mass is added for comparison.

AbstractLoss of photoreceptors is the central pathology accountable for irreversible vision impairment in patients with photoreceptor degenerative disorders. Currently, mechanisms-based pharmacological therapies protecting photoreceptors from degenerative progression remain clinically unavailable. Photooxidative stress plays a pivotal role in initiating the degenerative cascade in photoreceptors. Meanwhile, photoreceptor degeneration interacts closely with neurotoxic inflammatory responses primarily mediated by aberrantly activated microglia in the retina. Thus, therapies with anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been actively investigated for their pharmacological value in controlling photoreceptor degeneration. In the current study, we examined the pharmacological potentials of ginsenoside Re (Re), a naturally occurring antioxidant with anti-inflammatory activities, in photooxidative stress-mediated photoreceptor degeneration. Our results demonstrate that Re attenuates photooxidative stress and associated lipid peroxidation in the retina. Furthermore, Re treatment preserves the morphological and functional integrity of the retina, counteracts photooxidative stress-induced perturbation of the retinal gene expression profiles and mitigates photoreceptor degeneration-associated neuroinflammatory responses and microglia activation in the retina. Lastly, Re partially antagonizes the deleterious effects of photooxidative stress on müller cells, verifying its beneficial impact on retina homeostasis. In conclusion, the work here provides experimental evidence supporting novel pharmacological implications of Re in attenuating photooxidative stress-mediated photoreceptor degeneration and ensuing neuroinflammation.
Location is everything: Explorative and exploitative learning, non-scale free resources, and firm performance of German companies
Authors: Dötschel Eva , Junge Sebastian , Guthmann Tobias 
Published: June 2023

AbstractA firm’s aptitude to acquire new knowledge and simultaneously exploit existing capabilities is suggested to improve firm performance. Although resource endowment is important to achieve a balance between exploration and exploitation, the role of a firm’s non-scale free resources on the exploration‒exploitation and performance linkage has gained little attention. We transfer and apply the first longitudinal test of the exploration–exploitation and firm performance linkage in a German sample. We argue and replicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between relative exploration and firm performance. Further, we hypothesize the competition for and the access to non-scale free resources to moderate this relationship. While we do not find support for the latter, we reveal that the competition for non-scale free resources weakens the relationship between relative exploration and firm performance. We contribute to the exploration–exploitation literature by testing the proposed relationship between exploration–exploitation and firm performance in a different geographical setting, advancing the generalizability of this relationship. In order to do so, we make the commonly accepted measurement approach of Uotila et al. (Strateg Manag J 30:221–231. 10.1002/smj.738, 2009) applicable to German-speaking countries by translating, refining, and extending the dictionary proposed by March (1991) with more contemporary words. Moreover, we contribute by investigating the competition for non-scale free resources between companies in the context of exploration–exploitation. We thereby reveal lower competition for non-scale free resources as a success factor for improving the relationship between a firm’s relative exploration orientation and its performance. This seems particularly important since Germany’s economy has been confronted with a decline in its innovative strength and an eminent lack of skilled workforce in recent years.
Thinking Households—How Resident Conceptualisations of Waste, Reclaimers and Separation at Source Shape Recycling Practices
Authors: Kadyamadare Grace , Samson Melanie 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Municipalities across the globe are implementing separation at source programmes to reduce waste sent to landfills. Yet typically, significant numbers of households do not participate. This article contributes to debates on reasons for low S@S participation rates through comparative analysis of participation in Johannesburg’s first S@S programme by residents in the low-income, predominantly black suburb of Newlands and the high-income, predominantly white area of Franklin Roosevelt Park. The article argues that how residents conceptualised waste, S@S and reclaimers (waste pickers) influenced whether they separated their recyclables and what they did with them. Class (which is articulated with race) played an important role, as while some residents in each area revalued recyclables via routes other than the official Pikitup programme, those in Franklin Roosevelt Park tended to separate for reclaimers, while residents in Newlands were more likely to sell their recyclables to augment their incomes or reuse them to reduce the need for new purchases. These separation practices and the quantities diverted from landfill were invisible to Pikitup, which only recognised separation of materials for its pilot. The findings highlight the necessity of expanding conceptualisations of S@S to include these additional routes to revaluation if we are to develop S@S programmes that are contextually appropriate and capture accurate data on waste diversion from landfills. In addition, interventions to transform residents’ conceptualisation of waste so that it excludes recyclables and other items that retain value could facilitate greater participation in this expanded form of separation at source.
Rethinking Effective Remedies to the Climate Crisis: a Vulnerability Theory Approach
Authors: Sormunen Milka 
Published: June 2023

AbstractAlthough the harmful effects of climate change on human rights are well-recognized, the legal response to the climate crisis has been inadequate. This is particularly problematic as the crisis disproportionately affects vulnerable groups, which is exacerbated by a lack of effective remedies in contesting the adverse effects of climate change. The article argues that vulnerability theory offers a persuasive framing for rethinking what kind of remedies can be considered effective in the context of the climate crisis. A vulnerability theory approach shows how vulnerability increased by the climate crisis is universal but differentially distributed. Effective remedies are an essential part of responding to this vulnerability. The article suggests that characteristics of an effective remedy include the ability to contest breaches of positive obligations, speediness, the ability to contest future harms, the ability to contest breaches of extraterritorial obligations, bindingness, and equality of standing.

Abstract
Background
Thrombocytopenia is a common adverse event on HER2-targeted therapies, fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). A reported association of Asian ancestry with this event merits investigation to rule out potential confounding.

Methods
Subjects in this retrospective cohort were female patients with HER2 positive breast cancer, of Asian or non-Hispanic White ancestry, who initiated T-DM1 or T-DXd from January 2017 through October 2021. Follow-up closed in January 2022. Primary endpoint was dose adjustment for thrombocytopenia. Competing endpoints were discontinuation of drug for other toxicity, disease progression, or for completion of prescribed cycles. The association between Asian ancestry and thrombocytopenia-related dose adjustment was tested at p < 0.01 in a proportional hazards model for the sub-distributions of 4 (primary and competing) endpoints. Covariates examined as potential confounders were age, metastatic disease, specific HER2-targeted drug, and prior drug switching for toxicity.

Results
Among 181 subjects, 48 reported Asian ancestry. Incidence of dose adjustment for thrombocytopenia was higher in patients with Asian ancestry and among patients switched to T-DXd after experiencing thrombocytopenia on T-DM1. Independent of specific drug and prior drug switching, Asian ancestry was associated with dose adjustment for thrombocytopenia (hazards ratio 2.95, 95% confidence interval 1.41–6.18) but not with competing endpoints. Among participants of Asian ancestry, the ancestral origin was usually China or the Philippines (where Chinese ancestry is common).

Conclusions
The association between Asian ancestry and thrombocytopenia on HER2-targeted therapy is independent of age, metastatic disease, drug, and history of similar toxicity. This association may have a genetic basis linked to Chinese ancestry.

Published: June 2023

AbstractCervical cancer incidence continues to rise in Ghana. To enhance knowledge and prevention of cervical cancer among young people in Ghana, there is a need to better understand their education preferences. The study aimed to describe female senior school students’ preferences for receiving cervical cancer education. A cross-sectional survey of students from 17 schools in the Ashanti Region of Ghana assessed the strength of preference for receiving cervical cancer education from a range of sources, settings and delivery mediums. Of the 2400 participants (aged 16–24 years), the majority endorsed doctors (87%, 95%CI: 85–88%), nurses (80%, 95%CI: 78–82%) and credible health organisations (78%, 95%CI%: 76–79%) as their preferred source of education, and hospitals 83% (95%CI: 81–84%) as the preferred setting. Nearly all students (92%) endorsed at least three cervical cancer education delivery mediums, with at least three quarters endorsing television (78%, 95%CI: 77–80%), one-on-one health consultation in-person or online (77%, 95%CI: 75–79%; 75%, 95%CI: 73–77%), and health information websites (75%, 95%CI: 73–77%). Findings suggest that cervical cancer education efforts among female senior school students in Ghana should consider the use of a range of more resource-intensive individualised approaches to low-cost anonymous, generic approaches from credible sources and institutions.
