Authors: Akimov Luka , Bezborodov Andrey , Badenko Vladimir 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIt remains challenging to conduct an efficient dynamic façade design. In this article authors try to address this issue introducing the façade daylighting performance improvement (FDPI) indicator aimed to evaluate the performance of a dynamic (adaptive) façade from its daylighting performance point of view. To illustrate the FDPI application the authors introduced the preliminary dynamic façade concept for an office building located in Tel Aviv (Hot-summer Mediterranean Climate Csa) with further shape modification based on the daylighting performance analysis compared to the three alternatives representative of different typologies of dynamic facades. Al Bahr, One Ocean and The University of Southern Denmark façade systems were simulated under the same weather and building conditions of the preliminary dynamic façade concept and were considered as a benchmark for the study. The final dynamic façade concept elaborated by the authors in the preliminary comparative workflow showed noticeable daylight performance improvement with respect to the case studies comparative scenarios. The FDPI metric allowed to estimate a daylighting performance improvement of 43% of the final dynamic façade concept over the case study dynamic façade that showed the best performance in the daylighting simulations.

Dry Grinding by Means of Additively Manufactured Toric Grinding Pins
Authors: Keitel Michael , Denkena Berend , Bergmann Benjamin 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe dry grinding process is challenging due to the induced thermal loads into the workpiece, which leads to a reduction of the workpiece quality. One approach to reduce the thermal loads is to adjust the grinding tool geometry by inserting a porous structure for dry grinding. This porous structure can be implemented, for example, by additively manufactured grinding tools. For this purpose, the suitability of additively manufactured vitrified cubic boron nitride grinding tools for dry grinding of tempered AISI M3:2 was investigated and compared with conventionally manufactured grinding tools to investigate the possibility of reducing the high temperatures and to verify the advantage of additively manufactured grinding tools. For this the resulting topographies and residuals stress states as well as wear of the grinding tools were analyzed. Additively manufactured grinding tools generated constant surface roughnesses of below 1 µm as well as contant compressive residual stress states. These results were attributed to a continuous self-sharpening of the grinding tools, which was shown qualitatively and quantitatively on the basis of the tool surfaces. Additively manufactured grinding tools with a porous structure thus have the potential to increase the possibilities of dry grinding.
Exploring the Impact of the Corequisite Classroom Climate on Students’ Attitudes Toward Mathematics
Authors: Stone-Johnstone Amelia 
Published: September 2023

AbstractMany postsecondary institutions across the United States have adopted the corequisite model of academic support to facilitate student learning and the successful completion of introductory mathematics courses within students’ first year of college enrollment. While research have highlighted the benefits of corequisites in terms of academic outcomes, there is little qualitative research on the impact of this model of academic support on students beyond course grades. Through student narratives, this study documents how one university implemented their College Algebra corequisite and investigates the impact of the classroom climate of a corequisite course on students’ attitudes toward mathematics. This study shows that though the classroom climate positively impacted the participants’ attitudes toward mathematics in general, the climate of the corequisite specifically had a greater impact on their beliefs about mathematics and perceptions of themselves as learners of mathematics. However, there were some identified drawbacks to the corequisite course including time-consuming coursework and occasionally unproductive group collaboration. These findings highlight the potential for corequisites to foster positive attitudes toward mathematics, yet it also demonstrated a need for greater intention in the course development to ensure a coherent course structure where course activities and assessments give way to meaningful and productive student engagement.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe rock mass in fault zones is frequently subjected to cyclic loading and unloading during deep resource exploitation and tunnel excavation. Research on the mechanical and hydraulic characteristics of fault rock during the cyclic loading and unloading is of great significance for revealing the formation mechanism of water-conducting pathways in fault and preventing water inrush disasters. In this study, the mechanical and seepage tests of fault rock under the multi-stage cyclic loading and unloading of axial compression were carried out by using the fluid–solid coupling triaxial experimental device. The hysteresis loop of the stress–strain curve, peak strain rate, secant Young's modulus, and permeability of fault rock were obtained, and the evolution law of the dissipated energy of fault rock with the cyclic number of load and unloading was discussed. The experimental results show that with an increase in the cyclic number of loading and unloading, several changes occur. The hysteresis loop of the stress–strain curve of the fault rock shifts towards higher levels of strain. Additionally, both the peak strain rate and the secant Young's modulus of the fault rock increase, resulting in an increase in the secant Young's modulus of the fault rock mass. However, the growth rate of the secant Young's modulus gradually slows down with the increase of cyclic number of loading and unloading. The permeability evolution of fault rock under the multi-stage cyclic loading and unloading of axial compression can be divided into three stages: steady increase stage, cyclic decrease stage, and rapid increase stage. Besides, the calculation model of dissipated energy of fault rock considering the effective stress was established. The calculation results show that the relationship between the dissipated energy of fault rock and the cyclic number of loading and unloading conforms to an exponential function.

Directionally solidified samples were produced under various cooling rates (from 0.05 to 40 °C/s). Microstructure coarsening was then quantitatively analyzed by measuring grain size (GS) and primary (λ1), secondary (λ2) and average (λL) dendrite arm spacing. The results show that polarized optical images can be used to identify dendrite fragments between neighboring primary dendrites, allowing a more accurate microstructural analysis after the addition of grain refiner. The results also show that, for a given $$\dot{T}$$

, although GS is reduced after the addition of grain refiner, the respective values of λ1, λ2 and λL remain practically the same. In other words, the grain refiner only affects nucleation and not grain growth. Experimental growth equations are proposed to represent this behavior. Furthermore, λL is shown to be a good parameter for evaluating microstructural refinement.
Designing human resource management systems in the age of AI
Authors: Tinguely Patrick Nicolas , Lee Junghyun , He Vivianna Fang 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the practices of human resource management (HRM). We propose a typology of HR–AI collaboration systems across the dimensions of task characteristics (routine vs. non-routine; low vs. high cognitive complexity) and social acceptability of such systems among organizational members. We discuss how organizations should design HR–AI collaboration systems in light of issues of AI explainability, high stakes contexts, and threat to employees’ professional identities. We point out important design considerations that may affect employees' perceptions of organizational fairness and emphasize HR professionals' role in the design process. We conclude by discussing how our Point of View article contributes to literatures on organization design and human–AI collaboration and suggesting potential avenues for future research.

Published: September 2023

AbstractRice black-streaked dwarf disease (RBSDD) is one of the most serious crop diseases in Asia, causing serious damage to rice production. Therefore, reducing the harmful effects of RBSDD is vital to the food security of China and other Asian countries. In this study, 248 rice varieties from different countries were screened for resistance to RBSDD, and 19 varieties with high resistance to RBSDD were found. Among them, H185, an indica variety, showed stable and high resistance to RBSDD. Using an F2:3 population of H185 and Wuyujing 3 (WYJ3, a highly susceptible japonica rice variety), three QTL conferring resistance to RBSDD, namely qRBSDD2, qRBSDD7, and qRBSDD11 were identified, and they explained 53.6% of the total phenotypic variation. Among them, qRBSDD2 and qRBSDD7, with LOD scores of 4.26 and 4.25, respectively, were repeatedly detected in artificial inoculation conditions, accounting for 28.0% and 29.8% of the total phenotypic variation, respectively. Resistant alleles of the two QTL were all derived from H185, and several BC5F2 lines possessing single or two QTL of qRBSDD2 and qRBSDD7 exhibited higher resistance for RBSDD. The QTL detected in our study open new possibilities for breeding rice cultivars with RBSDD resistance through resistance gene pyramiding.

AbstractFetal heart monitoring during pregnancy plays a critical role in diagnosing congenital heart disease (CHD). A noninvasive fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) provides additional clinical information for fetal heart monitoring. To date, the analysis of noninvasive fECG is challenging due to the cancellation of maternal QRS-complexes, despite significant advances in electrocardiography. Fetal QRS-complex is highly considered to measure fetal heart rate to detect some fetal abnormalities such as arrhythmia. In this study, we proposed a deep learning (DL) framework that stacked a convolutional layer and bidirectional long short-term memory for fetal QRS-complexes classification. The fECG signals are first preprocessed using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to remove the noise or inferences. The following step beats and QRS-complex segmentation. The last step is fetal QRS-complex classification based on DL. In the experiment of Physionet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2013, this study achieved 100% accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score. A stacked DL model demonstrates an effective tool for fetal QRS-complex classification and contributes to clinical applications for long-term maternal and fetal monitoring.
The Association of Women’s Empowerment with HIV-Related Indicators: A Pooled Analysis of Demographic and Health Surveys in Sub-Saharan Africa

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background
Women’s empowerment is an important factor for HIV prevention, but the association with HIV-related indicators has never been quantified. In this study, we examined the association between women’s empowerment and selected HIV-related indicators.

Methods
We used the latest Demographic and Health Surveys that included HIV testing among other biomarkers of 31 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Empowerment was measured by the Survey-based Women’s EmPowERment (SWPER) index and was compared to the HIV-related indicators: HIV status, HIV testing (ever and in the past 12 months), condom use at last high-risk sex, the ability to ask the partner to use a condom, and the ability to refuse sex.

Results
208,947 women were included in the analysis, of whom 100,924 (48%) were considered highly empowered and 21,933 (10%) as lowly empowered. There was no association between empowerment and HIV status (OR = 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.98–1.28). Highly empowered women were more likely to have ever been tested for HIV (OR = 1.67, 95% CI 1.60–1.74) but less likely to have been tested for HIV in the past 12 months (OR = 0.92, 95%CI 0.88–0.96). Highly empowered women were more commonly able to ask the partner to use a condom (OR = 1.69, 95% CI 1.63–1.75) and to refuse sex (OR = 1.78, 95%CI 1.72–1.85).

Conclusions
Women’s empowerment does not seem to be linked to HIV status, but it is strongly associated with a woman’s ability to make decisions about their sexual behavior. Empowering women and young girls has the potential to contribute toward achieving the United Nations’ goal of ending AIDS by 2030.

Abstract

Objective:
Argentina is the third country in the world with the higher levels of CRE. The primary objective is to achieve an optimal result in the CRE infection rate after the implementation of an IPC program and antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) in a large teaching hospital in Argentina.

Methods:
Retrospective, observational study from January 2018 to December 2021, in a 220-bed tertiary care teaching hospital in Buenos Aires province. Actions aimed at CRE control and prevention included CRE and healthcare-associated infection (HAI) surveillance; compliance with hand hygiene, hospital hygiene, contact isolation precautions, and care bundles for the prevention of device-associated infections; optimization of antimicrobial treatments, antimicrobial consumption, education, and feedback.

Results:
Synergy between an ICP and ASP achieved controlled rate of CRE infections reaching the lowest levels during 2020 (0.08 episodes/1000 patient days). Colonization rate remained stable throughout the study period. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rate showed a trend toward lower rates. Compliance with care bundles showed rates >85%. Antimicrobial consumption increased slightly during the study period (15%). Among high-impact antimicrobials, only colistin consumption increased.

Conclusion:
Our study demonstrates the sustained and beneficial impact of an IPC Program and an ASP to control CRE infection.
The many facets of inhibitory control and their role in syntactic selection
Authors: Korko Małgorzata , Coulson Mark , Jones Alexander , de Mornay Davies Paul 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThere is accumulating evidence that distinct forms of domain-general inhibition underlie the selection of lexical candidates from among co-activated representations in single-word production. It is less clear whether similar control processes are engaged in the resolution of syntactic conflict in sentence production. This study assessed the relative contribution of three types of inhibitory control operating at different stages of information processing to syntactic interference resolution in an active-passive voice production task. Inhibition of response execution (the anti-saccade effect) and resolution of representational conflict (the flanker effect) were related to the occurrence of repairs and sentence onset latencies in passive voice trials. The results suggest not only that general-purpose mechanisms may be in place that resolve conflict regardless of whether it stems from syntactic or non-syntactic (non-verbal) representations, but also that they operate at dissociable processing stages.

AbstractThe Upper Permian sedimentary successions in the northern Sydney Basin have been the subject of several stratigraphic, sedimentological and coal petrographic studies, and recently, extensive U-Pb zircon dating has been carried out on tuffs in the Newcastle Coal Measures. However, detailed petrographic and geochemical studies of these successions are lacking. These are important because a major change in tectonic setting occurred prior to the Late Permian because of the Hunter-Bowen Orogeny that caused the uplift of the Carboniferous and Devonian successions in the Tamworth Group and Tablelands Complex adjacent to the Sydney Basin. This should be reflected in the detrital makeup of the Upper Permian rocks. This study provides data that confirms major changes did take place at this time. Petrographic analysis indicates that the source area is composed of sedimentary, felsic volcanic and plutonic and low-grade metamorphic rocks. Conglomerate clast composition analysis confirms these results, revealing a source region that is composed of felsic volcanics, cherts, mudstones and sandstones. Geochemical analysis suggests that the sediments are geochemically mature and have undergone a moderate degree of weathering. The provenance data presented in this paper indicate that the southern New England Orogen is the principal source of detritus in the basin. Discrimination diagrams confirm that the source rocks derive from an arc-related, contractional setting and agree with the provenance analyses that indicate sediment deposition in a retroarc foreland basin. This study offers new insights on the provenance and tectonic setting of the Northern Sydney Basin, eastern Australia.

AbstractBackgroundStress and depression have a reciprocal relationship, but the neural underpinnings of this reciprocity are unclear. We investigated neuroimaging phenotypes that facilitate the reciprocity between stress and depressive symptoms.MethodsIn total, 22 195 participants (52.0% females) from the population-based UK Biobank study completed two visits (initial visit: 2006–2010, age = 55.0 ± 7.5 [40–70] years; second visit: 2014–2019; age = 62.7 ± 7.5 [44–80] years). Structural equation modeling was used to examine the longitudinal relationship between self-report stressful life events (SLEs) and depressive symptoms. Cross-sectional data were used to examine the overlap between neuroimaging correlates of SLEs and depressive symptoms on the second visit among 138 multimodal imaging phenotypes.ResultsLongitudinal data were consistent with significant bidirectional causal relationship between SLEs and depressive symptoms. In cross-sectional analyses, SLEs were significantly associated with lower bilateral nucleus accumbal volume and lower fractional anisotropy of the forceps major. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with extensive white matter hyperintensities, thinner cortex, lower subcortical volume, and white matter microstructural deficits, mainly in corticostriatal-limbic structures. Lower bilateral nucleus accumbal volume were the only imaging phenotypes with overlapping effects of depressive symptoms and SLEs (B = −0.032 to −0.023, p = 0.006–0.034). Depressive symptoms and SLEs significantly partially mediated the effects of each other on left and right nucleus accumbens volume (proportion of effects mediated = 12.7–14.3%, p < 0.001−p = 0.008). For the left nucleus accumbens, post-hoc seed-based analysis showed lower resting-state functional connectivity with the left orbitofrontal cortex (cluster size = 83 voxels, p = 5.4 × 10−5) in participants with high v. no SLEs.ConclusionsThe nucleus accumbens may play a key role in the reciprocity between stress and depressive symptoms.
Adaptive preferences, self-expression and preference-based freedom rankings
Authors: Costella Annalisa 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIf preference-based freedom rankings are based on all-things-considered preferences, they risk judging phenomena of adaptive preferences as freedom enhancing. As a remedy, it has been suggested to base preference-based freedom rankings on reasonable preferences. But this approach is also problematic. This article argues that the quest for a remedy is unnecessary. All-things-considered preferences retain information on whether the availability of an option contributes to the value that freedom has for a person’s self-expression. If preference-based freedom rankings use all-things-considered preferences to evaluate whether an option contributes to a person’s self-expression, they are immune to the problem posed by adaptive preferences.
