P‐152: Invited Poster: Outdoor LED Video Screens Considerations.
Authors: Bravo Jorge Perez 
Published: August 2023

LED technology has been proved to be a great platform to advertise digital imaging content and targeted for outdoor signage applications. Some considerations must be taken when a LED screen is designed and later installed outdoor where the environmental elements affect the image on the LED screen. These environmental elements like sunlight, sun thermal‐load, wind, humidity, rain, and dust are affecting not just the video image, but also the performance and the lifetime of the product.I want to focus on an important and often overlook attribute for a screen in direct sunlight and that is the contrast ratio.The reflectivity of the materials used to produce the screen will affect the black level of the screen and hence its contrast.

In recent years, the range of laser applications in various fields is increasing in a visible speed. In particular, ultra‐short pulse laser, with its non‐contact, high precision, small thermal effect, high flexibility, in the field of fine processing, especially in the semiconductor electronics industry, is rapidly replacing the traditional processing methods.Mini‐LED is diode that is smaller than normal LED. Thanks to the smaller size of diodes, more leds can be combined to provide more discrete dimming areas. Mini‐LED has the characteristics of ultra‐ high brightness, ultra‐high contrast, ultra‐wide color gamut and extremely low frequency flash, which has great potential for future development. In the Mini‐LED industry, laser technology in cutting, drilling, etching, cleaning and other aspects have a very high application value. In this paper, the application direction of laser technology in Mini‐LED glass base will be discussed.
Assessing concept mapping competence using item expansion‐based diagnostic classification analysis
Authors: Xia Shulan , Zhan Peida , Chan Kennedy Kam Ho , Wang Lijun 
Published: August 2023

AbstractConcept mapping is widely used as a tool for assessing students' understanding of science. To fully realize the diagnostic potential of concept mapping, a scoring method that not only provides an objective and accurate assessment of students' drawn concept maps but also provides a detailed understanding of students' proficiency and deficiencies in knowledge is necessary. However, few of the existing scoring methods focus on the latent constructs (e.g., knowledge, skills, and cognitive processes) that guide the creation of concept maps. Instead, they focus on the completeness of the concept map by assigning a composite score, which makes it difficult to generate targeted diagnostic feedback information for advancing students' learning. To apply the diagnostic classification model to the quantitative analysis of concept maps, this study introduced the novel application of the item expansion‐based diagnostic classification analysis (IE‐DCA) for this purpose. The IE‐DCA can not only assess students' concept mapping abilities along a continuum but also classify students according to their concept mapping attributes when constructing the concept maps. The application and benefits of this approach were illustrated using a physics concept‐mapping item related to particle and rigid body. Results showed that the estimated attribute profiles via the IE‐DCA provided more detailed information about students' latent constructs than the composite score. Overall, this study illustrates the feasibility and potential of applying IE‐DCA to analyze concept maps. Future applications of IE‐DCS in other assessments in science education are discussed.
Fate of the topological susceptibility in two-color dense QCD
Authors: Kawaguchi Mamiya , Suenaga Daiki 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We explore the topological susceptibility at finite quark chemical potential and zero temperature in two-color QCD (QC2D) with two flavors. Through the Ward-Takahashi identities of QC2D, we find that the topological susceptibility in the vacuum solely depends on three observables: the pion decay constant, the pion mass, and the η mass in the low-energy regime of QC2D. Based on the identities, we numerically evaluate the topological susceptibility at finite quark chemical potential using the linear sigma model with the approximate Pauli-Gursey SU(4) symmetry. Our findings indicate that, in the absence of U(1)A anomaly effects represented by the Kobayashi-Maskawa-’t Hooft-type determinant interaction, the topological susceptibility vanishes in both the hadronic and baryon superfluid phases. On the other hand, when the U(1)A anomaly effects are present, the constant and nonzero topological susceptibility is induced in the hadronic phase, reflecting the mass difference between the pion and η meson. Meanwhile, in the superfluid phase it begins to decrease smoothly. The asymptotic behavior of the decrement is fitted by the continuous reduction of the chiral condensate in dense QC2D, which is similar to the behavior observed in hot three-color QCD matter. In addition, effects from the finite diquark source on the topological susceptibility are discussed. We expect that the present study provides a clue to shed light on the role of the U(1)A anomaly in cold and dense QCD matter.
40 bilinear relations of q-Painlevé VI from $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Chern-Simons theory
Authors: Moriyama Sanefumi , Nosaka Tomoki 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We investigate partition functions of the circular-quiver supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory which corresponds to the q-deformed Painlevé VI equation. From the partition functions with the lowest rank vanishing, where the circular quiver reduces to a linear one, we find 40 bilinear relations. The bilinear relations extend naturally to higher ranks if we regard these partition functions as those in the lowest order of the grand canonical partition functions in the fugacity. Furthermore, we show that these bilinear relations are a powerful tool to determine some unknown partition functions. We also elaborate the relation with some previous works on q-Painlevé equations.
One-loop matching of CP-odd four-quark operators to the gradient-flow scheme
Authors: Bühler Jona , Stoffer Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The translation of experimental limits on the neutron electric dipole moment into constraints on heavy CP-violating physics beyond the Standard Model requires knowledge about non-perturbative matrix elements of effective operators, which ideally should be computed in lattice QCD. However, this necessitates a matching calculation as an interface to the effective field theory framework, which is based on dimensional regularization and renormalization by minimal subtraction. We calculate the one-loop matching between the gradient-flow and minimal-subtraction schemes for the CP-violating four-quark operators contributing to the neutron electric dipole moment. The gradient flow is a modern regularization-independent scheme amenable to lattice computations that promises, e.g., better control over power divergences than traditional momentum-subtraction schemes. Our results extend previous work on dimension-five operators and provide a necessary ingredient for future lattice-QCD computations of the contribution of four-quark operators to the neutron electric dipole moment.
ABCD of qq-characters
Authors: Nawata Satoshi , Zhang Kilar , Zhu Rui-Dong 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The qq-characters are powerful tools to reveal symmetries and integrabilities of Seiberg-Witten theories. The goal of this paper is to provide analytic expressions of qq-characters based on Young diagrams in 5d 𝒩 = 1 pure Yang-Mills theories with BCD-type gauge groups, by focusing on the unrefined limit. Using these expressions, we investigate the relationships among qq-characters of classical gauge groups. For SO(n) gauge groups, we construct a quantum-toroidal-like algebra via the Ward-identity approach, which allows us to derive the qq-characters.
QBD Processes Associated with Jacobi–Koornwinder Bivariate Polynomials and Urn Models
Authors: Fernández Lidia , de la Iglesia Manuel D. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractWe study a family of quasi-birth-and-death (QBD) processes associated with the so-called first family of Jacobi–Koornwinder bivariate polynomials. These polynomials are orthogonal on a bounded region typically known as the swallow tail. We will explicitly compute the coefficients of the three-term recurrence relations generated by these QBD polynomials and study the conditions under we can produce families of discrete-time QBD processes. Finally, we show an urn model associated with one special case of these QBD processes.
Some Positivities in Stirling Arrays with Higher Level
Authors: Ahmia Moussa , Ramírez José L. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we prove that the sequences of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind with higher level are both Pólya frequency and log-concave. Then, we show that some polynomials related to the above Stirling numbers with higher level are q-log-convex or strongly q-log-convex. Furthermore, we establish that the linear transformation related to the Stirling numbers of the first kind with level 2 preserves the log-convexity.

AbstractISG20L2, a 3′ to 5′ exoribonuclease previously associated with ribosome biogenesis, is identified here in activated T cells as an enzyme with a preferential affinity for uridylated miRNA substrates. This enzyme is upregulated in T lymphocytes upon TCR and IFN type I stimulation and appears to be involved in regulating T cell function. ISG20L2 silencing leads to an increased basal expression of CD69 and induces greater IL2 secretion. However, ISG20L2 absence impairs CD25 upregulation, CD3 synaptic accumulation and MTOC translocation towards the antigen-presenting cell during immune synapsis. Remarkably, ISG20L2 controls the expression of immunoregulatory molecules, such as AHR, NKG2D, CTLA-4, CD137, TIM-3, PD-L1 or PD-1, which show increased levels in ISG20L2 knockout T cells. The dysregulation observed in these key molecules for T cell responses support a role for this exonuclease as a novel RNA-based regulator of T cell function.
How Exceptional is the Extremal Kendall and Kendall-Type Convolution
Authors: Jasiulis-Gołdyn Barbara H. , Misiewicz Jolanta K. , Omey Edward , Wesołowski Jacek 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis paper deals with the generalized convolutions connected with the Williamson transform and the maximum operation. We focus on such convolutions which can define transition probabilities of renewal processes. They should be monotonic since the described time or destruction does not go back, it should admit existence of a distribution with a lack of memory property because the analog of the Poisson process shall exist. Another valuable property is the simplicity of calculating and inverting the corresponding generalized characteristic function (in particular Williamson transform) so that the technique of generalized characteristic function can be used in description of our processes. The convex linear combination property (the generalized convolution of two point measures is the convex combination of several fixed measures), or representability (which means that the generalized convolution can be easily written in the language of independent random variables)—they also facilitate the modeling of real processes in that language. We describe examples of generalized convolutions having the required properties ranging from the maximum convolution and its simplest generalization—the Kendall convolution (associated with the Williamson transform), up to the most complicated here—Kingman convolution. It is novel approach to apply in the extreme value theory. Stochastic representation of the Kucharczak-Urbanik in the order statistics terms is proved, which open new paths to investigate Archimedean copulas. This paper open the door to solve an old open problem of the relationship between copulas and generalized convolutions mentioned by B. Schweizer and A. Sklar in 1983. This indicates the path of further research towards extremes and dependency modelling.
Hyponatriämie
Authors: Perschinka Fabian , Köglberger Paul , Klein Sebastian J. , Joannidis Michael 
Published: August 2023

ZusammenfassungDie Hyponatriämie ist eine der häufigsten Elektrolytstörungen in Notaufnahmen und bei hospitalisierten Patient*innen. Die Serum-Natriumkonzentration wird über die Osmoregulation sowie die Volumenregulation kontrolliert. Beides erfolgt über die Freisetzung von antidiuretischem Hormon (ADH). Die inadäquate ADH-Freisetzung (SIADH) kann durch Tumore, Pneumonien, Medikamenteneinnahme oder Drogenkonsum getriggert werden. Auch übermäßige Flüssigkeitsaufnahme kann zur Abnahme der Serum-Natriumkonzentration führen. Rasche Veränderungen in der Serum-Natriumkonzentration führen zu Zellschwellung bzw. Zellschrumpfung, was sich vor allem in neurologischen Symptomen widerspiegelt. Entscheidend ist hierbei die Geschwindigkeit, mit welcher die Hyponatriämie eintritt, und wie lange die Hyponatriämie schon besteht. In der Diagnostik der Hyponatriämie sind neben der laborchemischen Bestimmung auch eine klinische Untersuchung sowie Harnanalysen von zentraler Bedeutung.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to assess clinical, treatment, and prognostic features in patients with brain metastases (BM) from solid tumors achieving long-term survival (LTS). Further, the accuracy of diagnosis-specific Graded Prognostic Assessment scores (ds-GPA) to predict LTS was evaluated.

Methods
Patients admitted for radiotherapy of BM between 2010 and 2020 at a large tertiary cancer center with survival of at least 3 years from diagnosis of BM were included. Patient, tumor, treatment characteristics and ds-GPA were compiled retrospectively.

Results
From a total of 1248 patients with BM, 61 (4.9%) survived ≥ 3 years. In 40 patients, detailed patient charts were available. Among LTS patients, median survival time from diagnosis of BM was 51.5 months. Most frequent primary tumors were lung cancer (45%), melanoma (20%), and breast cancer (17.5%). At the time of diagnosis of BM, 11/40 patients (27.5%) had oligometastatic disease. Estimated mean survival time based on ds-GPA was 19.7 months (in 8 cases estimated survival < 12 months). Resection followed by focal or whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) was often applied (60%), followed by primary stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) (20%) or WBRT (20%). 80% of patients received systemic treatment, appearing particularly active in specifically altered non-small lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma, and HER2-positive breast cancer. Karnofsky performance score (KPS) and the presence of oligometastatic disease at BM diagnosis were persisting prognostic factors in LTS patients.

Conclusion
In this monocentric setting reflecting daily pattern of care, LTS with BM is heterogeneous and difficult to predict. Effective local treatment and modern systemic therapies often appear crucial for LTS. The impact of concomitant diseases and frailty is not clear.
Surgical suction filter-derived bone graft displays osteogenic miRNA and mRNA patterns
Authors: Groven Rald V. M. , Blokhuis Job T. , Poeze Martijn , van Griensven Martijn , Blokhuis Taco J. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Recently, a surgical suction filter device was introduced which aims at generating a suction filter-derived bone grafting substitute (SF-BGS). The osteogenic capacity of this grafting material, however, is unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and osteogenic mRNAs may influence these processes. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the quality of the SF-BGS by determining the expression of miRNAs and osteogenic mRNAs.

Methods
Samples were collected during non-union surgery. Upon exposure of the intramedullary canal, the surgical vacuum system was fitted with the suction filter device containing collagen complex and synthetic β-TCP: (Ca3(PO4)2, granule size 5–8 mm, total volume 10 mL (Cerasorb Foam®, Curasan AG, Kleinostheim, Germany). As a control, venous blood was used as in current clinical practice. Samples were snap-frozen and mechanically disrupted. MiRNAs and mRNAs were isolated, transcribed, and pooled for qPCR analysis. Lastly, mRNA targets were determined through in silico target analyses.

Results
The study population consisted of seven patients with a posttraumatic long bone non-union (4♀; mean age 54 ± 16 years). From the array data, distinct differences in miRNA expression were found between the SF-BGS and control samples. Osteogenic marker genes were overall upregulated in the SF-BGS. Qiagen IPA software identified 1168 mRNA targets for 43 of the overall deregulated miRNAs.

Conclusion
This study revealed distinctly deregulated and exclusively expressed osteogenic miRNAs in SF-BGS, as well as overall enhanced osteogenic marker gene expression, as compared to the venous blood control group. These expression profiles were not seen in control samples, indicating that the derived material displays an osteogenic profile. It may therefore be a promising tool to generate a BGS or graft extender when needed.

Authors: í Soylu Lív , Kokotovic Dunja , Gögenur Ismail , Ekeloef Sarah , Burcharth Jakob 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Major emergency abdominal surgery is associated with severe in-hospital complications and loss of performance. After discharge, a substantial fraction of patients are readmitted emergently; however, limited knowledge exists of the long-term consequences. The aim of this study was to examine the risks and causes of short-term (30-day) and long-term (180-day) readmission among patients undergoing major emergency abdominal surgery.

Methods
This study included 504 patients who underwent major emergency abdominal surgery at the Zealand University Hospital between March 1, 2017, and February 28, 2019. The population was followed from 0 to 180 days after discharge, and detailed readmission information was registered. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the independent risk factors for readmission within 30 and 180 days.

Results
From 0 to 30 days after discharge, 161 (31.9%) patients were readmitted emergently, accumulating to 241 (47.8%) patients within 180 days after discharge. The main reasons for short-term readmission were related to the gastrointestinal tract and surgical wounds, whereas long-term readmissions were due to infections, cardiovascular complications, and abdominal pain. Stomal placement was an independent risk factor for short-term readmission, whereas an ASA score of 3 was a risk factor for both short-term and long-term readmission.

Conclusion
Close to 50% of all patients who underwent major emergency abdominal surgery had one or more emergency readmission within 180 days of discharge, and these data points towards the risk factors involved.
Basic values in artificial intelligence: comparative factor analysis in Estonia, Germany, and Sweden
Authors: Masso Anu , Kaun Anne , van Noordt Colin 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIncreasing attention is paid to ethical issues and values when designing and deploying artificial intelligence (AI). However, we do not know how those values are embedded in artificial artefacts or how relevant they are to the population exposed to and interacting with AI applications. Based on literature engaging with ethical principles and moral values in AI, we designed an original survey instrument, including 15 value components, to estimate the importance of these values to people in the general population. The article is based on representative surveys conducted in Estonia, Germany, and Sweden (n = 4501), which have varying experiences with implementing AI. The factor analysis showed four underlying dimensions of values embedded in the design and use of AI: (1) protection of personal interests to ensure social benefit, (2) general monitoring to ensure universal solidarity, (3) ensuring social diversity and social sustainability, and (4) efficiency. We found that value types can be ordered along the two dimensions of resources and change. The comparison between countries revealed that some dimensions, like social diversity and sustainability evaluations, are more universally valued among individuals, countries, and domains. Based on our analysis, we suggest a need and a framework for developing basic values in AI.
Macrophyte complexity influences habitat choices of juvenile fish

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe nursery function of littoral habitats for juvenile fish is widely recognized, but data on the specific habitat features that contribute to this function is sparse for many species, in part related to the difficulty of studying juvenile fish in their natural environment. However, this information is required to understand the potential risks of environmental change to the nursery functions of habitats. In this context, the habitat choice behaviour, with respect to differences in structural features, was evaluated for three Mediterranean littoral fish species known to be associated to macrophytes as juveniles. The overarching aim of this experiment was to determine if juveniles actively choose between different macrophyte configurations of varying complexity and height. Juveniles were exposed simultaneously to multiple visual habitat stimuli within an experimental choice arena, and their swimming behaviour was tracked by video recordings to determine the amount of time they spent near each habitat configuration. All three species showed a clear association in their occupancy towards more complex habitat configurations demonstrating that juveniles distinguished and actively selected habitats using visual cues. Subtle differences in species' affinity for complex habitats allowed us to appraise their potential vulnerabilities to habitat loss in the Mediterranean under environmental change scenarios. Furthermore, the results of this study provided evidence that differences in juvenile distribution between habitats found in previous observational studies may indeed be caused by active habitat selection, as well as through differential survivorship rates.
