Construction of Rosenbrock–Wanner method Rodas5P and numerical benchmarks within the Julia Differential Equations package
Authors: Steinebach Gerd 
Published: April 2023

AbstractRosenbrock–Wanner methods for systems of stiff ordinary differential equations are well known since the seventies. They have been continuously developed and are efficient for differential-algebraic equations of index-1, as well. Their disadvantage that the Jacobian matrix has to be updated in every time step becomes more and more obsolete when automatic differentiation is used. Especially the family of Rodas methods has proven to be a standard in the Julia package DifferentialEquations. However, the fifth-order Rodas5 method undergoes order reduction for certain problem classes. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to compute a new set of coefficients for Rodas5 such that this order reduction is reduced. The procedure is similar to the derivation of the methods Rodas4P and Rodas4P2. In addition, it is possible to provide new dense output formulas for Rodas5 and the new method Rodas5P. Numerical tests show that for higher accuracy requirements Rodas5P always belongs to the best methods within the Rodas family.
Gender differences in alternating-offer bargaining: an experimental study
Authors: Hernandez-Arenaz Iñigo , Iriberri Nagore 
Published: April 2023

AbstractA laboratory study was carried out to analyze the relationship between ambiguity regarding the sharing norms in structured alternating-offer bargaining and gender differences in bargaining. Symmetric environments, where a 50:50 split emerges as the unique sensible norm, showed the lowest ambiguity and gender differences are absent. We increased ambiguity by introducing asymmetries into the bargaining environment by making one bargaining party get a higher share than the other (due to empowerment, entitlement or informational asymmetries), but without imposing new sharing norms. In these situations, men are less likely to reach an agreement, but, when they do, they obtain a larger share of the pie. As a result, men and women show similar overall earnings but earnings are lower when bargaining with men. We find suggestive evidence that gender differences diminish when we reduce ambiguity regarding the sharing norms by providing information about other participants’ agreements in asymmetric environments.
Applications of Transitiometry: Determination of Thermophysical Properties and Decomposition Kinetics of Peroxide(Mixtures) Under High-Pressure

Published: April 2023

AbstractScanning transitiometry is an important calorimetric method co-invented by Jean-Pierre E. Grolier and Stanisław L. Randzio. Transitiometry enables to measure highly sensitive under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. Nowadays, process modelling is a tool of increasing importance beyond the process of understanding process dynamics. For a valid modelling approach, a reliable data base at process conditions is required. Many processes are carried out at high temperature and pressure. Under such harsh conditions, comparatively few methods can be applied and thus limited kinetic parameters are known. Therefore, extrapolated values from low-pressure data are often utilized. Transitiometry can reduce this data gap for thermophysical properties such as heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient and isothermal compressibility. In this paper, an overview about the method evaluation to determine thermophysical properties under high pressure using transitiometry is given. Additionally, an oversight is provided of the investigation of the decomposition kinetics of peroxides and their mixtures as another application area of high-pressure calorimetry.

AbstractMany patients with glioma, primary brain tumors, suffer from poorly understood executive functioning deficits before and/or after tumor resection. We aimed to test whether frontoparietal network centrality of multilayer networks, allowing for integration across multiple frequencies, relates to and predicts executive functioning in glioma. Patients with glioma (n = 37) underwent resting-state magnetoencephalography and neuropsychological tests assessing word fluency, inhibition, and set shifting before (T1) and one year after tumor resection (T2). We constructed binary multilayer networks comprising six layers, with each layer representing frequency-specific functional connectivity between source-localized time series of 78 cortical regions. Average frontoparietal network multilayer eigenvector centrality, a measure for network integration, was calculated at both time points. Regression analyses were used to investigate associations with executive functioning. At T1, lower multilayer integration (p = 0.017) and epilepsy (p = 0.006) associated with poorer set shifting (adj. R2 = 0.269). Decreasing multilayer integration (p = 0.022) and not undergoing chemotherapy at T2 (p = 0.004) related to deteriorating set shifting over time (adj. R2 = 0.283). No significant associations were found for word fluency or inhibition, nor did T1 multilayer integration predict changes in executive functioning. As expected, our results establish multilayer integration of the frontoparietal network as a cross-sectional and longitudinal correlate of executive functioning in glioma patients. However, multilayer integration did not predict postoperative changes in executive functioning, which together with the fact that this correlate is also found in health and other diseases, limits its specific clinical relevance in glioma.

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is defined as acute myocardial infarction (MI) with angiographically no obstructive coronary artery disease or stenosis ≤ 50%. MINOCA is diagnostically challenging and complex, making it difficult to manage effectively. This condition accounts for 6–8% of all MI and poses an increased risk of morbidity and mortality after diagnosis. Prompt recognition and targeted management are essential to improve outcomes and our understanding of this condition, but this process is not yet standardized. This article offers a comprehensive review of MINOCA, delving deep into its unique clinical profile, invasive and noninvasive diagnostic strategies for evaluating MINOCA in light of the lack of widespread availability for comprehensive testing, and current evidence surrounding targeted therapies for patients with MINOCA.

Recent Findings
MINOCA is not uncommon and requires comprehensive assessment using various imaging modalities to evaluate it further.

Summary
MINOCA is a heterogenous working diagnosis that requires thoughtful approach to diagnose the underlying disease responsible for MINOCA further.
Easy does it: pressing the right buttons in public access to documents of the EU
Authors: Rossi Leonor 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis article makes two claims regarding what is relevant in 2022 to the future of Regulation 1049/2001. The first is that an about-turn in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has partly altered the formal scope of the EU policy concerning public access to documents (PAD) from document to information (PAI). This change in scope affects documents included in digital databases or other documents held in digital form but not the acquis regarding printed-on-paper documents. Second, we observe an uncomfortable stasis currently affecting both the EU judiciary and the Ombudsman. On the one hand, the judiciary remains imprisoned, without an alternative, within the bounds of insufficient remedial depth, i.e., concerning the action for annulment. Conversely, regarding the Ombudsman’s role, classical recommendations have proved insufficient to drive EU access policy. Interestingly, in reaction to suggestions that binding powers be considered for the Ombudsman, even the current head of this institution demurs. Such a proposal carries an inherent serious risk of cognitive dissonance between the EU framework and national frameworks.
Social interaction anxiety, social phobia, and cognitive control: controlled reactions to facial affect during an emotional face flanker task
Authors: du Rocher Andrew R. , Pickering Alan D. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractTrait social anxiety may predict differences in the cognitive control of emotional distraction when emotional face discrimination is required. This effect can be investigated using an emotional face flanker task. This study addresses an important research gap, as previous studies did not separate the effects of trait social interaction anxiety from the effects of trait social phobia upon emotional face flanker task performance. In this laboratory based behavioural experiment, the 87 participants (mean age 24.3) were university students or staff recruited via departmental adverts. We used an emotional (happy versus fearful) face flanker task, and assessed sub-clinical social anxiety with the SIAS/SPS. Elevated trait social phobia was related to an increased reaction time (RT) congruency effect, whereas trait social interaction anxiety was not. Elevated trait social interaction anxiety was related to a decreased happy face RT advantage for central target faces, but the effect of trait social phobia was very weak. Trait social interaction anxiety and trait social phobia may predict subtle differences when the cognitive control of reactions to emotional facial expressions is required.
Samenvatting van het Kinderdeel van de ‘Richtlijn overgewicht en obesitas bij volwassenen en kinderen. Diagnostiek, ondersteuning en zorg voor mensen met obesitas of overgewicht in combinatie met risicofactoren en/of comorbiditeit’

Published: April 2023

SamenvattingDit artikel bevat een samenvatting van en achtergrondinformatie over het in 2022 verschenen kinderdeel van de nieuwe overkoepelende multidisciplinaire richtlijn rond diagnostiek, ondersteuning en zorg voor mensen met overgewicht en obesitas. Deze richtlijn, waarvan het deel over volwassenen in 2023 verschijnt, is bestemd voor alle hulp- en zorgverleners die betrokken zijn bij de ondersteuning en zorg voor mensen met obesitas of overgewicht in combinatie met risicofactoren en/of comorbiditeit, en voor degenen die zorgdragen voor de organisatie en bekostiging van de benodigde ondersteuning en zorg.De kernboodschap van het kinderdeel van de nieuwe richtlijn is in lijn met het Landelijk model ketenaanpak voor kinderen met overgewicht en obesitas uit 2018 en ook met gerelateerde richtlijnen en zorgstandaarden: het behandelaanbod dient aan te sluiten bij de wensen, behoeften en mogelijkheden van kind en gezin. Voorafgaand aan de behandeling is het daarom belangrijk om niet alleen inzicht te krijgen in (bio)medische factoren, maar ook in psychosociale factoren (kenmerken van het kind, het gezin en de context waarin zij leven) en leefstijlfactoren (voeding, bewegen en slapen).Bij de behandeling van kinderen en volwassenen is het bovendien belangrijk om een ketenaanpak/netwerkaanpak te hanteren die is ingebed in een integrale aanpak en die ook inzet op preventie gericht op een gezonde leefomgeving voor iedereen.
Rehabilitation Exercise Using a Smart-Bar Device with Augmented Reality Guide Function
Authors: Nam Yeon-Gyo , Park Sung Yun , Kwon Bum Sun 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background
Smart-bar device (SBD) is a newly developed device to measure the body range of motion (ROM) by a kinetic sensor and to provide an exercise program with augmented reality (AR) guidance of body-frame image and audio feedback by mobile application.

Objective
This study aims to compare the performance of SBD with AR function with a goniometer and to verify the clinical utility of SBD with AR guide function`

Methods
Ten healthy individuals were enrolled and measured the ROM of body lateral flexion, extension, and rotation using a goniometer and SBD simultaneously. To evaluate the accuracy of an AR-guided exercise, we enrolled three patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and measured the ROM of trunk lateral flexion and rotation during stretching exercises using SBD with or without AR guidance.

Results
Concurrent validity between the goniometer and SBD was statistically significant, with a very high correlation coefficient from r = 0.836–0.988 (p < 0.05). All patients with scoliosis showed higher accuracy when we used SBD with AR guidance than when we used SBD without AR guidance (p < 0.05).

Conclusions
The SBD could be a valid device to measure the joint angle of neck, shoulder, and trunk. AR guidance increased the accuracy of the stretching exercise, and mobile application of AR-guided stretching exercises with SBD should be useful for scoliosis patients to correct their posture.
Hydrogeological modeling of the Roussillon coastal aquifer (France): stochastic inversion and analysis of future stresses
Authors: Schorpp Ludovic , Dall’Alba Valentin , Renard Philippe , Lanini Sandra , Caballero Yvan 
Published: April 2023

AbstractGlobal climate change-induced stresses on coastal water resources include water use restrictions, saline intrusions, and permanently modifying or damaging regional resources. Groundwater in coastal regions is often the only freshwater resource available, so an in-depth understanding of the aquifer, and the aquifer’s response to climate change, is essential for decision-makers. In this study, we focus on the coastal aquifer of Roussillon (southern France) by developing and investigating a steady-state groundwater flow model (MODFLOW 6) and calibrated with PEST++ on a Python interface (FloPy and PyEmu). Model input and boundary conditions are constrained by various scenarios of climate projections by 2080, with model results predicting the aquifer’s response (and associated uncertainty) to these external forcings. Using simple assumptions of intrusion estimates, model results highlight both strong climatic and anthropogenic impacts on the water table. These include aquifer drawdowns reaching several meters locally, and the seawater interface advancing locally several hundred meters inland and rising by several meters. Intrusions of this magnitude risk endangering exploited water wells and their sustainability. Our results demonstrate the critical importance of properly characterizing the geology and its heterogeneity for understanding aquifers at risk because poor predictions may lead to inappropriate decisions, putting critical resources at risk, particularly in coastal environments.
EBUNet: a fast and accurate semantic segmentation network with lightweight efficient bottleneck unit
Authors: Shen Siyuan , Zhai Zhengjun , Yu Guanfeng , Yan Youyu , Dai Wei 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIt has been difficult to achieve a suitable balance between effectiveness and efficiency in lightweight semantic segmentation networks in recent years. The goal of this work is to present an efficient and reliable semantic segmentation method called EBUNet, which is aimed at achieving a favorable trade-off between inference speed and prediction accuracy. Initially, we develop an Efficient Bottleneck Unit (EBU) that employs depth-wise convolution and depth-wise dilated convolution to obtain adequate features with moderate computation costs. Then, we developed a novel Image Partition Attention Module (IPAM), which divides feature maps into subregions and generates attention weights based on them. As a third step, we developed a novel lightweight attention decoder with which to retrieve spatial information effectively. Extensive experiments show that our EBUNet achieves 73.4% mIou and 152 FPS on the Cityscapes dataset and 72.2% mIoU and 147 FPS on the Camvid dataset with only 1.57 M parameters. The results of the experiment confirm that the proposed model is capable of making a decent trade-off in terms of accuracy, inference, and model size. The source code of our EBUNet is available at (https://github.com/Skybird1101/EBUNet).
Biochar Amendment Increases C and N Retention in the Soil–Plant Systems: Its Implications in Enhancing Plant Growth and Water-Use Efficiency Under Reduced Irrigation Regimes of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Published: April 2023

AbstractBiochar influences soil
biophysicochemical processes and nutrient availability, yet the effects of different biochar and soil water dynamics on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) retention in the soil–plant systems remain unknown. Maize plants were grown in split-root pots filled with clay loam soil amended with wheat straw pellet biochar (WSP) and softwood pellet biochar (SWP) at 2% (w/w) and were either irrigated daily to 90% of water-holding capacity (FI) or irrigated with 70% volume of water used for FI to the whole root-zone (DI) or alternately to half root-zone (PRD) from the fourth leaf to grain-filling stage. Compared to the unamended controls, biochar amendment enhanced plant biomass and water-use efficiency, particularly when combined with PRD. Although the WSP amendment tended to decrease soil net N mineralization rate, it significantly increased C and N retention in the soil–plant systems. Compared to DI, PRD significantly increased soil respiration rate while lowering soil total organic C content. Moreover, PRD increased soil inorganic N content, which might be related to increased mineralization of soil organic C (SOC) and soil organic N (SON). Such effects might implicate that PRD outperformed DI in enhancing the mineralization of soil organic matter. Although PRD alone might not be a sustainable irrigation method because of greater C and N losses, biochar addition could alleviate these undesirable effects via depressing SOC and SON mineralization. Biochar amendment, especially WSP combined with PRD, could be a promising practice to increase maize growth and water-use efficiency while sustaining C and N retention in the soil–plant systems.
Learning by Doing: Insights from Power Market Modelling in Energy Economics Courses
Authors: Hobbie Hannes , Dierstein Constantin , Möst Dominik , Schmidt Matthew 
Published: April 2023

AbstractMuch of energy economics curricula involves the study of techno-economic aspects of energy systems with an increasing focus devoted to fostering an understanding of the interactions between innovative technologies and adaptive markets. As the interplay of these dynamics and their impacts on market equilibria and outcomes is quite complex, optimization models are well-suited to facilitate their study. This paper presents two exemplary model approaches and associated case studies, which can be employed to study market developments driving long-term adaptations in the portfolio of power-generation assets as well as scheduling problems of individual plant owners with a focus on assessing the impact of changing market conditions on the profitability of investments. The combination of these two modelling approaches constitutes an innovative means of facilitating students’ understanding of how individual decisions of different market stakeholders lead to welfare-maximizing market equilibria under the assumption of perfect competition. The models are discussed along with the experiences acquired employing them in various forms as project assignments. In summary, the integration of modelling exercises and assignments into the curriculum of energy economics courses has proven to be a practical means of reinforcing and broadening lecture material that is both interesting and rewarding for students.
Advancing ‘Net Zero Competition’ in Asia-Pacific under a dynamic era: a comparative study on the carbon neutrality policy toolkit in Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong
Authors: Liu Yunhong , Dong Liang , Fang Mandy Meng 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe net zero strategy has created a global competition for carbon finance innovation, with over 50 countries and regions aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 or 2060. This paper provides a preliminary comparative study of carbon neutrality policy instruments in Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong SAR, China: three critical and distinct economies in the Asia-Pacific region. The study examines policies in six categories that support carbon neutrality and compares them based on political economy and market features. The findings reveal that Japan has a rather diverse policy matrix, while Singapore has made rapid progress in carbon finance in a controversial political economy. Hong Kong’s renewable energy policies use a multifaceted approach that emphasizes both carbon emission reduction and environmental quality improvement. Although Hong Kong aspires to become a centre for green finance, it currently lags behind Singapore in this area. The study sheds light on the development and implementation of emerging policies related to carbon neutrality in Asia-Pacific region.
Public perceptions of autonomous lethal weapons systems
Authors: Arai Koki , Matsumoto Masakazu 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis study attempts to bridge the gap in empirical and philosophical research on lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS), through a survey of attitudes using experimental methods. “LAWS” refer to “fully autonomous weapons” that can set attack targets without human involvement and are lethal. Based on previous research, we conducted a randomized controlled experiment to create, present, and collect responses to scenarios describing military operations and outcomes that are likely to express awareness of the ethical issues raised by LAWS. First, our hypothesis that LAWS are less likely to be used was rejected, and the opposite trend was observed. Second, the hypothesis that civilian casualties rather than combatant casualties would influence LAWS use was strongly and significantly confirmed. Third, the hypothesis that remote weapons are more likely to be used than LAWS was rejected. Fourth, there was some support for the hypothesis that LAWS are more likely to be used in homeland defense. Fifth, the hypothesis that male and younger individuals are more willing to use LAWS was strongly and significantly confirmed for male, but not on the basis of age. This study highlights the need for further discussion based on these findings.
Trolleys, crashes, and perception—a survey on how current autonomous vehicles debates invoke problematic expectations
Authors: Tolmeijer Suzanne , Arpatzoglou Vicky , Rossetto Luca , Bernstein Abraham 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Ongoing debates about ethical guidelines for autonomous vehicles mostly focus on variations of the ‘Trolley Problem’. Using variations of this ethical dilemma in preference surveys, possible implications for autonomous vehicles policy are discussed. In this work, we argue that the lack of realism in such scenarios leads to limited practical insights. We run an ethical preference survey for autonomous vehicles by including more realistic features, such as time pressure and a non-binary decision option. Our results indicate that such changes lead to different outcomes, calling into question how the current outcomes can be generalized. Additionally, we investigate the framing effects of the capabilities of autonomous vehicles and indicate that ongoing debates need to set realistic expectations on autonomous vehicle challenges. Based on our results, we call upon the field to re-frame the current debate towards more realistic discussions beyond the Trolley Problem and focus on which autonomous vehicle behavior is considered not to be acceptable, since a consensus on what the right solution is, is not reachable.
