AbstractIntroductionTracking adaptations during implementation can help assess and interpret outcomes. The framework for reporting adaptations and modifications‐expanded (FRAME) provides a structured approach to characterize adaptations. We applied the FRAME across multiple health services projects, and developed an analytic approach to assess the impact of adaptations.MethodsMixed methods analysis of research diaries from seven quality improvement (QI) and research projects during the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Using the FRAME as a codebook, discrete adaptations were described and categorized. We then conducted a three‐step analysis plan: (1) calculated the frequency of adaptations by FRAME categories across projects; (2) qualitatively assessed the impact of adaptations on project goals; and (3) qualitatively assessed relationships between adaptations within projects to thematically consolidate adaptations to generate more explanatory value on how adaptations influenced intervention progress and outcomes.ResultsBetween March and July 2020, 42 adaptations were identified across seven health services projects. The majority of adaptations related to training or evaluation (52.4%) with the goal of maintaining the feasibility (66.7%) of executing projects during the pandemic. Five FRAME constructs offered the most explanatory benefit to assess the impact of adaptations on program and evaluation goals, providing the basis for creating an analytic approach dubbed the “A‐FRAME,” analysis of FRAME data. Using the A‐FRAME, the 42 adaptations were consolidated into 17 succinct adaptations. Two QI projects discontinued altogether. Intervention adaptations related to staffing, training, or delivery, while evaluation adaptations included design, recruitment, and data collection adjustments.ConclusionsBy sifting qualitative data about adaptations into the A‐FRAME, implementers and researchers can succinctly describe how adaptations affect interventions and their evaluations. The simple and concise presentation of information using the A‐FRAME matrix can help implementers and evaluators account for the influence of adaptations on program outcomes.

AbstractObjectivesReflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is an imaging method that can noninvasively visualize microscopic features of the human skin. The utility of RCM can be further improved by increasing imaging speed. In this paper, we report high‐speed RCM imaging of human skin with a frame rate that is over 10 times faster and an area imaging rate that is 6–9 times faster than those of commercially available RCM devices.MethodsThe higher imaging speed was achieved using a high‐speed RCM technique, termed spectrally encoded confocal microscopy (SECM). SECM uses a diffraction grating and a high‐speed, wavelength‐swept source to conduct confocal imaging at a very high rate. We developed a handheld SECM probe using a scanned‐grating approach. The SECM probe was used in conjunction with a wavelength‐swept source with a spectral band of 1251–1342 nm.ResultsThe SECM probe achieved high lateral resolution of 1.3–1.6 µm and an axial resolution of 3.5 µm. SECM images of the human skin (image size = 439 × 439 µm2) obtained at 100 frames/s clearly show previously reported RCM features of the human skin in vivo with adequate image quality. The fast imaging speed allowed for the rapid acquisiton of volumetric SECM image data (200 frames covering a depth range of 200 µm) within 2 s. The use of 1251–1342 nm provided sufficient signal level and contrast required to visualize key cellular morphologic features.ConclusionsThese preliminary results demonstrate that high‐speed SECM imaging of the human skin at 1251–1342 nm is feasible.

Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this work, solvent‐free waterborne polyurethane‐poly(meth)acrylate hybrid dispersions that can be used to formulate anticorrosive paints are synthesized. To achieve the anticorrosive protection, a phosphate containing polymerizable surfactant, Sipomer PAM 200 is incorporated to the hybrids. The presence of phosphate groups can produce an iron phosphate passivation layer to provide coatings with anticorrosive properties. These properties are tested in both mild and harsh corrosive environments. It is observed that when the films are dried at 60% relative humidity conditions, very poor anticorrosive protection is achieved because no phosphatization is obtained, but increasing the humidity to 85% during the drying step allows the formation of the passivation layer providing good anticorrosive properties.

AbstractIntroduction/AimsIn amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene mutations (SOD1‐ALS), the antisense oligonucleotide tofersen had been investigated in a phase III study (VALOR) and subsequently introduced in an expanded access program. In this study we assess neurofilament light chain (NfL) before and during tofersen treatment.MethodsIn six SOD1‐ALS patients treated with tofersen at three specialized ALS centers in Germany, NfL in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF‐NfL) and/or serum (sNfL) were investigated using the ALS Functional Rating Scale Revised (ALSFRS‐R) and ALS progression rate (ALS‐PR), defined by monthly decline of ALSFRS‐R.ResultsThree of the six SOD1‐ALS patients reported a negative family history. Three patients harbored a homozygous c.272A > C, p.(Asp91Ala) mutation. These and two other patients showed slower progressing ALS (defined by ALS‐PR <0.9), whereas one patient demonstrated rapidly progressing ALS (ALS‐PR = 2.66). Mean treatment duration was 6.5 (range 5 to 8) months. In all patients, NfL decreased (mean CSF‐NfL: −66%, range −52% to −86%; mean sNfL: −62%, range −36% to −84%). sNfL after 5 months of tofersen treatment was significantly reduced compared with the nearest pretreatment measurement (P = .017). ALS‐PR decreased in two patients, whereas no changes in ALSFRS‐R were observed in four participants who had very low ALS‐PR or ALSFRS‐R values before treatment.DiscussionIn this case series, the significant NfL decline after tofersen treatment confirmed its value as response biomarker in an expanded clinical spectrum of SOD1‐ALS. Given the previously reported strong correlation between sNfL and ALS progression, the NfL treatment response supports the notion of tofersen having disease‐modifying activity.

AbstractThere is no denying that the planet is having its climate changing quickly, mainly attributed to global warming; and industries must prepare themselves for the new environmental conditions. A good planning based on studies to assess risks associated with extreme natural conditions is the best solution to minimize the consequences of natural disasters, favoring business continuity, a safer return to a normal routine, helping to prevent polluting in the environment and preserving lives.
Temporal variability in organic amendment impacts on hydro‐physical properties of sandy agricultural soils

Published: March 2023

AbstractOrganic amendments (OAs) can improve the hydro‐physical properties of a soil and thereby potentially enhance the resilience of agricultural systems to droughts and floods. An OA's contribution to this resilience, however, depends on the timeliness of its impacts, as soil improvements should be achieved when droughts are most frequent or flood risks are greatest. Yet little is known regarding the temporal variability of OA impacts or the influence of OA quantity and quality thereupon. In this research, therefore, we investigated at two agricultural sites the temporal variability of improvements in soil bulk density, aggregate stability, infiltration capacity and water retention after the application of compost, farmyard manure, bokashi, a selection of organic residues from landscape maintenance, and a combination of these residues with manure. Results showed that, depending on management practices and soil type, OAs decrease bulk density by up to 9.8%, increase infiltration capacity by up to 108.1%, aggregate stability by up to 60.0%, and water retention by up to 77.8% relative to unamended controls within 3 years of repeated application. However, the magnitude of these improvements varies up to 96% between seasons, depending on the soil property and OA treatment. On average, for all treatments, impacts relative to the control varied between different seasons by 5% for bulk density, 47.1% for infiltration capacity, 22.6% for aggregate stability, and 26.3% for water retention. When offsetting OA nutrient differences with mineral fertilizers, this variability showed a stronger correlation to differences in OA application quantity than quality (i.e., chemical composition). Results suggest that disregarding temporal variability in OA impacts can result in an inaccurate valuation of OAs as either effective or ineffective in improving soil resilience, given that impacts may, instead of their frequently presumed persistency, actually be highly transient or lagged. Our findings highlight the importance of considering the potential intra‐annual variability of OA impacts on soil hydro‐physical properties when designing OA application strategies to ameliorate the effects of specific seasonal climatic challenges.
Dynamic capabilities and sustainability performance: Exploring the moderating role of environmental dynamism in the Norwegian fishing industry

Published: March 2023

AbstractThis study examines the effect of dynamic capabilities (DCs) on economic performance (ECOP), social performance (SOP), and environmental performance (ENVP) under different levels of environmental dynamism (EnvD). Based on preliminary interviews and survey data collected from Norwegian fishing firms, the analysis was conducted using partial least squares structural equation modeling and necessary conditions analysis. The results show that firms that acquire a set of DCs are more likely to improve their economic, social, and environmental sustainability performance. More so, firms' economic performance is a necessary condition for social performance, but not for ENVP. Interestingly, the results show that the effect of DCs on economic and environmental sustainability performance is even stronger when the level of EnvD is higher. However, EnvD does not have a significant effect on the relationship between DCs and social sustainability performance. Our findings provide guidance to managers on how and when to invest in and leverage DCs to improve sustainability performance in the food industry.

AbstractThe ocean holds vast potential as a renewable energy source, but harnessing its power has been challenging due to low‐frequency and high‐amplitude stimulation. However, hybrid nanogenerators (HNGs) offer a promising solution to convert ocean energy into usable power efficiently. With their high sensitivity and flexible design, HNGs are ideal for low‐frequency environments and remote ocean regions. Combining triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) and electromagnetic nanogenerators (EMGs) creates a unique hybrid system that maximizes energy harvesting. Ultimately, hybrid energy‐harvesting systems offer a sustainable and reliable solution for growing energy needs. This study provides an in‐depth review of the latest research on ocean energy harvesting by hybrid systems, focusing on self‐powered applications. The article also discusses primary hybrid designs for devices, powering self‐powered units such as wireless communication systems, climate monitoring systems, and buoys as applications. The potential of HNGs is enormous, and with rapid advancements in research and fabrication, these systems are poised to revolutionize ocean energy harvesting. It outlines the pros and cons of HNGs and highlights the major challenges that must be overcome. Finally, future outlooks for hybrid energy harvesters are also discussed.
sFuzz2.0: Storage‐access pattern guided smart contract fuzzing

Published: March 2023

AbstractSmart contracts are distributed self‐enforcing programs which execute on top of blockchain networks. They have the potential to revolutionize many industries and have already been adopted for applications such as distributed finance and crowdfunding. Because smart contracts are immutable once they are deployed, it is important to identify and eliminate code vulnerabilities in smart contracts systematically. In this work, we propose sFuzz2.0, a storage‐access‐pattern guided adaptive fuzzer based on sFuzz. sFuzz2.0 is motivated by the fact that certain vulnerabilities only manifest in the presence of certain function call sequences (as well as particular arguments). Given that there are exponentially many function call sequences, sFuzz randomly generates sequences without guidance. As a result, the probability of discovering those vulnerabilities is negligible. sFuzz2.0 tackles the problem with two approaches, that is, by generating function call sequences that trigger different storage‐access patterns passively (i.e., by prioritizing seeds which cover new patterns) or actively (i.e., by actively seeking out different patterns). The experiment results suggest that the passive strategy outperforms sFuzz by achieving better code coverage (i.e., 37.53%) and discovering more vulnerabilities (i.e., 20.49%).
Monitoring spatiotemporal soil moisture variability in the unsaturated zone of a mixed forest using electrical resistivity tomography

Published: March 2023

AbstractEuropean forests are suffering considerably from the consequences of the droughts of recent years, and the exact reasons and influencing factors for this are still not fully understood. This study was conducted to characterize the changes and dynamics of soil moisture in a mixed forest in northern Bavaria within 1 year. Since electrical resistivity correlates well with soil water content, we used two‐dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) monitoring and time‐lapse analyses to supplement punctual measurements by sensors and soil analyses to show soil moisture changes throughout a whole year (2020–2021). While the topsoil dries out significantly from summer to autumn down to a depth of about 3 m, a clear increase in soil water content and a decrease in resistivity below 3 m can be observed during winter period. Anomalies in the topsoil (0–1 m) showing lower resistivities than the surrounding substrate could be related to tree positions by additional terrestrial laser scans. A significant relationship could be found between tree crown projection area and resistivity in 1–2 m depth. We found a trend that mean resistivity below pine is lower as below beech. ERT data were also used to estimate the soil water content via Archie's law and the results correlate strongly with the measured values, but the degree of correlation varies depending on the depth level. ERT as a noninvasive method, in combination with additional data, for example, on the vitality status of individual trees, could help to better understand root water uptake and water supply to trees, especially during periods of drought.
“their mothers, and their fathers, and everyone in between”: Queering Motherhood in Trans Parent Memoirs by Jennifer Finney Boylan and Trystan Reese
Authors: Podnieks Elizabeth 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn their respective memoirsStuck in the Middle with You: A Memoir of Parenting in Three Genders(2013) andHow We Do Family: From Adoption to Trans Pregnancy, What We Learned About Love and LGBTQ Parenthood(2021), Jennifer Finney Boylan and Trystan Reese illuminate howmotherandfatherare concepts that are varied, mutable, and fluid. Boylan, a university professor at Colby College in Maine and best-selling author, reveals that she is a transgender woman, formerly a husband in a long-term marriage, and father of two. Boylan writes from her position as a second mother to her children, and as the still-married partner of Deirdre Boylan. Reese, a social justice advocate, is a transgender man who not only adopted two children with his husband, Biff Chaplow, but who also gave birth to their biological baby. In my analysis herein, I argue that through narratives that conflate the conventional and the radical, Boylan and Reese normalize trans parenthood while queering normativity. Drawing on scholarship from queer, maternal, and life writing studies, and foregrounding the themes of transitioning, reproduction, and childrearing, I showcase how Boylan and Reese use their memoirs to open up vital spaces for new and inclusive notions of family.
From Survivor to Im/migrant Motherhood and Beyond: Margit Silberstein’s Postmemorial Autobiography, Förintelsens Barn
Authors: Kella Elizabeth 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe Swedish journalist and author Margit Silberstein’s autobiographical memoir, Förintelsens Barn (2021), represents her post-war upbringing in a survivor family. Both parents were Hungarian-speaking Jews from Transylvania, who were the only members of their respective families to survive horrendous persecution and conditions during the war. After the war they immigrated to a small town in Sweden, where Margit and her brother were born. This chapter examines the tensions in Silberstein’s account of her childhood and her relations with her parents, particularly her mother, viewing these tensions as stemming from characteristics of and contradictions between later postmemorial writing and the im/migrant literature of Sweden today, both of which are conditioned by their social contexts, including those of antisemitism. Silberstein’s work brings Holocaust postmemoir into dialogue with im/migrant autobiography in contemporary Sweden, and it suggests that this dialogue will continue to the third generation, Silberstein’s children.
A Plea for Motherhood: Mothering and Writing in Contemporary Norwegian Literature
Authors: Hamm Christine 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn 2018 several well-established female Norwegian novelists—Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold, Heidi Furre, Inger Bråtveit and Monica Isakstuen—produced fiction with mothers as narrators and protagonists. This chapter explores the issues that their texts address, as well as the narrative strategies they use. Although the novels look quite like popular motherhood memoirs where mothers describe their daily efforts to manage the situation at home, I show that the refined aesthetic texts by these Norwegian authors in fact contain what I call a plea for motherhood. Further, all four novels explore the relationship between writing and mothering. Ultimately, I argue that the novels by Skomsvold, Furre, Bråtveit and Isakstuen need to be read against the background of the situation in Norway, where it is taken for granted that women want a career, but motherhood is generally left without comment. The narrators in the 2018 novels seem motivated not only by the need to defend motherhood against feminist attacks on motherhood but also in resistance against other discourses, including political pro-natalism and literary-critical dismissal of motherhood as a literary subject. By merging fragments, essayistic pieces, memories and reflections, the novels point to a new way of delineating the multi-layered experience of motherhood.
Professions, Knowledge, and Workplace Change: The Case of Canadian Engineers
Authors: Adams Tracey L. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn North America, training in engineering has long been balanced between formal university education and on-the-job training. Over the last few decades, however, Canadian engineering workplaces have changed. In the drive for efficiency and profit, firms are increasingly reluctant to invest in training. This paper’s author draws on interviews with 53 Ontario, Canada, engineers to explore how workplace change impacts professional skills, and to identify the implications for professional knowledge. From her findings, she concludes that engineers have fewer opportunities to learn on the job than in the past. Increasingly, many are asked to learn in their own time, or on an ad-hoc basis to complete pressing tasks. This encourages information gathering, rather than building deep knowledge. Moreover, knowledge benefiting employers is emphasized at the expense of knowledge benefiting society, with potential long-term implications for engineers’ fiduciary responsibilities.
Improficiency and the Professionalization of Undisciplined Practices
Authors: Banfield Janet 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis chapter’s author interrogates the spaces and knowledges of interdisciplinarity by exploring the relationship between alternative understandings of expertise (improficiency), academic career prospects (professionalization), inter-/disciplinary spaces (the undisciplined), and research practices. She considers the implications of interdisciplinarity for the spatialization of disciplines themselves, emergent knowledges, the academics generating them, and understandings of expertise. She argues that the prefix ‘inter-’ is most appropriate in individual (not team-based) contexts, as the co-location of different knowledges in the body of one researcher holds particular promise, despite this promise being underappreciated. In this chapter, she offers a variegated conceptualization of inter-/extra-disciplinary spaces; a refined understanding of expertise across interdisciplinary practices; and suggestions as to how academic institutions can better support interdisciplinary careers. Rather than progressively dismantling interdisciplinary spaces, knowledges, and practitioners, proponents of different disciplines can validate and help to realize the potential for interdisciplinary work to ricochet productively among the disciplines, rather than continually policing the borders between them.
