Hand-as-a-prop: using the hand as a haptic proxy for manipulation in virtual reality
Authors: Marichal Sebastian , Ezcurdia Iñigo , Morales Rafael , Ortiz Amalia , Marzo Asier , Ardaiz Oscar 
Published: August 2023

AbstractHaptic feedback can be almost as important as visual information in virtual reality environments. On the one hand, in Active Haptic Feedback, specialized devices such as vibrotactile gloves are employed; however, these solutions can be expensive, vendor-specific or cumbersome to setup. On the other hand, Passive Haptic Feedback approaches use inexpensive objects as proxies for the virtual entities; but mapping virtual objects to real props is not scalable nor flexible. We propose the Hand-as-a-Prop technique, which consists in using human hands as object props. We implemented two modalities: Self, where the user’s non-dominant hand act as the virtual object while the dominant hand grabs, translates and releases it; and External, where the hand of another person is used. Hand-as-a-Prop can represent multiple shapes with a single prop and does not require extra hardware. We performed an evaluation comparing both Self and External Hand-as-a-Prop with traditional Object Props in terms of user experience (goodness, ease, realism, fatigue, and preference) and performance (task completion time and translation time). Results showed that Hand-as-a-Prop was rated as neutral tending to positive, and in some cases, the performance was similar to Object Props. Users preferred Self Hand-as-a-Prop over External Hand-as-a-Prop and also obtained better results.
Nehari manifold approach for superlinear double phase problems with variable exponents
Authors: Crespo-Blanco Ángel , Winkert Patrick 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn this paper we consider quasilinear elliptic equations driven by the variable exponent double phase operator with superlinear right-hand sides. Under very general assumptions on the nonlinearity, we prove a multiplicity result for such problems whereby we show the existence of a positive solution, a negative one and a solution with changing sign. The sign-changing solution is obtained via the Nehari manifold approach and, in addition, we can also give information on its nodal domains.

Published: August 2023

AbstractGenerally, one of the most significant bottlenecks of land-based abalone aquaculture is the high cost of the feed, which is associated with the use of wild fish stocks to produce fish meal. Fish meal is a key ingredient used in aquaculture feeds due to its nutritional profile and palatability. Alternative ingredients, such as insect meal and grape marc, are potential candidates to be included in aquafeeds due to their suitable nutritional profile and more sustainable production. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of insect meal and grape marc on growth and nutritional profile using abalone as an animal model in a feeding trial for 165 days. Proximate analyses were used to identify nutritional variations in abalone tissue and faecal matter, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography mass-spectrometry analyses were utilised to characterise amino acid and fatty acid composition. Results showed a 95% survival for all treatments. The inclusion of insect meal and grape marc did not affect the protein proportions of abalone tissues, but differences were found in the carbohydrate and lipid proportions. The inclusion of insect meal and grape marc significantly affected levels of amino acids L-histidine, L-methionine, and L-phenylalanine, and fatty acids oleic acid, linoleaidic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, and α-linolenic suggesting a correlation between the feed source and fatty acid tissue composition. This work provides promising results for future optimisation of abalone diets including more affordable and sustainable alternative ingredients.
Ethics, Tradition and Temporality in Craft Work: The Case of Japanese Mingei
Authors: Holt Robin , Yamauchi Yutaka 
Published: August 2023

AbstractBased on an empirical illustration of Onta pottery and more broadly a discussion of the JapaneseMingeimovement, we study the intimacy between craft work, ethics and time. We conceptualize craft work through the temporal structure of tradition, to which we find three aspects: generational rhythms of making; cycles of use and re-use amongst consumers and a commitment to historically and naturally attuned communities. We argue these temporal structures of tradition in craftwork are animated by two contrasting but co-existing ideas of the good: the moral and the ethical. By developing the work of Elizabeth Grosz, we conceptualize this distinction between moral and ethical as a temporal phenomenon, specifically in differing relations to ideas of the future. Moral aspects of craft work understand the future as a progression from past, whether in preserving practices and norms, or improving upon them in relation to ideals. Ethical aspects understand the future as inherently open to chance and divergence, valuing difference, accident and the possibilities for creativity these entail. Empirically, we show evidence of both aspects in the case ofMingei—a organized movement dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional Japanese craft work. We contribute to studies of craft work by revealing and classifying its temporal aspects. We contribute to studies in business ethics by conceptualising a generative distinction between morals and ethics configured through differing understandings of time.
When Marriage Ends: Differences in Affluence and Poverty Among Older Adults in Israel
Authors: Lewin Alisa C. , Stier Haya 
Published: August 2023

AbstractStudies show that the economic benefits of marriage carry over into old age and that widowhood and divorce have detrimental economic consequences, especially for women. This study asks how affluence and poverty are affected by the timing of widowhood and divorce and tests whether they operate in symmetry. The study draws on Israel’s annual Social Survey from multiple years (2013–2017), conducted by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics. The sample is limited to older individuals, aged 55+ (n = 4824 men, 5643 women). The findings show that married people are less likely to be poor than unmarried people, but they are not always more likely to be affluent. Widowed men and women, and divorced men are more likely to achieve affluence than continuously married couples. The explanation may be that, in the Israeli context, the widowed tend to inherit benefits accumulated by their late spouse, whereas the divorced tend to divide resources when the marriage dissolves. Women incur higher and longer-term penalties for their change in marital status than do men, so that previously married women tend to have higher rates of poverty and lower rates of affluence than previously married men. The findings show that affluence and poverty do not operate in symmetry and that affluence does not simply mirror poverty, especially among men. For example, early widowed and late divorced men have higher odds of both poverty and affluence than married men. These findings demonstrate that poverty and affluence operate differently and examining both leads to new insights.
Comparison of gastrointestinal adverse events between fast release tablets and regular acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) galenics after short-term use: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Authors: Lanas Angel , Werz Oliver , Mikhail Engy 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis study aimed at determining whether there is a difference in the safety profile between fast release (FR) aspirin tablets and regular galenic formulations of aspirin. This study was based on a clinical study database pool (Bayer HealthCare) including 84 clinical studies and 16,095 human subjects. The meta-analysis included 72 studies applying a single dose of aspirin of at most 1000 mg and was, therefore, based on individual data from 9288 subjects. Of these, 6029 subjects took aspirin and 3259 subjects took placebo. Endpoints were adverse events (AEs) of any kind and, especially of gastrointestinal (GI) nature. Event incidence and odds ratios (OR) based on Mantel–Haenszel risk estimates were calcuated. Subjects on aspirin FR had a significantly decreased OR of 0.65 [0.48, 0.90] [95% confidence interval] for all AEs and of 0.39 [0.20, 0.79] for drug-related all AEs versus placebo. The risk of all GI AEs tended to be reduced for subjects on aspirin FR (0.65 [0.41; 1.03]), but not for drug-related GI AEs. Subject on aspirin mono and aspirin mono (plain only, w/o FR) showed an increased risk of drug-related all AEs compared to placebo (1.34 [1.11; 1.62] and 1.43 [1.13; 1.80]). However, subjects on aspirin FR and those on regular aspirin had almost the same risk of all determined AEs. In conclusion, aspirin FR tablets showed a comparable GI tolerability to regular galenic formulations of aspirin after short-term treatment. Major GI complication did not occur after intake of any galenic formulation of aspirin.
Mullite photonic glasses with exceptional thermal stability for novel reflective thermal barrier coatings

Published: August 2023

AbstractThermal barrier coatings are essential materials systems for insulating and protecting substrates exposed to high temperatures. In such systems, the heat transfer has three possible paths: conduction, convection and irradiation. The higher the operating temperature, the more important it is to control or protect against the radiative component, since the radiative heat flux becomes non-negligible. The radiation can be controlled by the use of ceramic-based photonic nanostructures, namely photonic crystals and photonic glasses, creating so-called reflective thermal barrier coatings. In this work, mullite inverse photonic glasses (PhG) have been produced by thermally induced reaction on sol–gel-based silica structures coated with nanometric films of Al2O3 by atomic layer deposition. The conversion to mullite was carried out following a two-stage heat-treatment. The pre-annealing associated with the further mullite formation results in an excellent structural stability of these PhGs up to 1500 °C, being able to retain their high reflectivity in the near infrared range. Therefore, this structure can be considered for next-generation reflective thermal barrier coatings.

The Impact of Police ‘Process-Driven Responses’ on Supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and/or Transgender + Victim-Survivors of Domestic Abuse in England
Authors: Butterby Kate , Donovan Catherine 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Purpose
The public story of domestic abuse (DA) sets out DA as a problem of cisgender, heterosexual ‘strong’ men, perpetrating physical abuse towards cisgender, heterosexual ‘weak’ women. Drawing upon this narrative, LGB and/or T + victim-survivors may not see their experiences reflected, and similarly, practitioners may view abuse in LGB and/or T + people’s relationships as less serious, as ‘mutual’ or may miss dynamics unique to DA within these relationships. This article argues that when assessing risk and making subsequent decisions in relation to abuse within LBG and/or T + people’s relationships, police enact ‘process-driven responses’, meaning that the same procedures are followed for all DA cases irrespective of the different identities and/or needs of the victim-survivors. We explore how process-driven responses are underpinned by the public story, and how this impacts the services provided to LGB and/or T + victim-survivors.

Methods
Semi-structured qualitative interviews (n = 35) with police officers, police staff, support practitioners and victim-survivors were undertaken and analysed thematically.

Results
Findings suggest that by enacting process-driven responses, police feel that they are providing an equitable service to all victim-survivors. However, these responses draw heavily on the public story of DA, focusing primarily on cisgender, heterosexual stereotypes and the presence of physical injuries.

Conclusions
‘Treating everyone the same’ can leave experiences of LGB and/or T + victim-survivors invisible, minimised and not understood. This has implications in relation to inadequate responses being provided, such as victim-survivors being arrested, mutual blame being ascribed and lack of police knowledge in relation to appropriate support provision. Suggestions for policy and practice will follow.
Domestic Violence and Murder of a Transgender Women in Russian Media (the Case of Anzhela Likina)
Authors: Shtorn Evgeny 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Purpose
This article explores the notion of domestic violence in one of the most media-rich debates around transgender issues in Russia. Anzhela Likina’s murder brought a lot of attention of various outlets from the social media to the federal TV channels. I aim to queer this very notion basing my critique on the case of her murder and the debate that followed afterwards.

Methods
I analyse the discourse on family violence as it is given in the publications about the murder of Likina and comments under these publications. I identified 82 media reports on the murder and the following trial. My approach to the reading of these reports, comments and a TV-programme is discourse analysis. Hence, I am looking at power relations which constituted these narratives.

Results
In February 2016 Anzhela was stabbed to death by the partner of her ex-wife Gulnara. The murderer built his defence arguing that he killed Anzhela to punish her for beating Gulnara. A detailed look at the media publications reflects that this was a narrative strategy to get a lighter sentence. In turn Anzhela’s mother and sister accused Gulnara of being violent to Anzhela and their two daughters which constitutes another facet of family violence narratives. Based on my analysis of media reports I argue that domestic violence is instrumentalised as a narrative justification for further violence.

Conclusions
I uncover the various kinds of violence that Anzhela had to endure on different levels: state violence, societal violence, police violence, domestic violence, and media violence towards her both while she was alive and after her murder. These various kinds of violence amplify one another as the analysis of discourse around them shows.
Testing the reciprocal longitudinal association between pro-aggressive bystander behavior and diffusion of responsibility in Swedish upper elementary school students

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe overall objective of this study was to investigate the longitudinal association between diffusion of responsibility and pro-aggressive bystander behavior across three time points in upper elementary education. This three-wave longitudinal study included 1905 Swedish students who completed a questionnaire in at least one of the three waves: the fourth (Mage = 10.56), fifth (Mage = 11.55), and/or sixth grades (Mage = 12.58). Both traditional and random intercept cross-lagged panel models revealed a reciprocal relationship between pro-aggressive bystanding and diffusion of responsibility from the fourth to fifth grades, whereas the only significant cross-lagged path from the fifth to sixth grades was from pro-aggression to diffusion of responsibility in the traditional cross-lagged panel model. Thus, this study provides evidence for bidirectional longitudinal associations between diffusion of responsibility and pro-aggressive bystander behavior but did not support a full cross-lagged bidirectional model.
A novel intrusion detection system for internet of things devices and data
Authors: Kaushik Ajay , Al-Raweshidy Hamed 
Published: August 2023

AbstractAs we enter the new age of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable gadgets, sensors, and embedded devices are extensively used for data aggregation and its transmission. The extent of the data processed by IoT networks makes it vulnerable to outside attacks. Therefore, it is important to design an intrusion detection system (IDS) that ensures the security, integrity, and confidentiality of IoT networks and their data. State-of-the-art IDSs have poor detection capabilities and incur high communication and device overhead, which is not ideal for IoT applications requiring secured and real-time processing. This research presents a teaching-learning-based optimization enabled intrusion detection system (TLBO-IDS) which effectively protects IoT networks from intrusion attacks and also ensures low overhead at the same time. The proposed TLBO-IDS can detect analysis attacks, fuzzing attacks, shellcode attacks, worms, denial of service (Dos) attacks, exploits, and backdoor intrusion attacks. TLBO-IDS is extensively tested and its performance is compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. In particular, TLBO-IDS outperforms the bat algorithm and genetic algorithm (GA) by 22.2% and 40% respectively.
Complex treatment of oily polluted waters by modified melamine foams: from colloidal emulsions to a free oil removal

Published: August 2023

AbstractThis study deals with the efficient, low-cost, and scalable treatment of oily polluted waters including colloidal emulsions, oil-in-water mixtures, and free oil removal using melamine foams (MFs) modified by ferric chloride (FeCl3). Modified foams have superhydrophobic character due to the coordination of Fe3+ with free electron pairs on nitrogen and oxygen atoms within the melamine structure. The water contact angles (WCA) were 146° ± 2°, 148° ± 4°, 153° ± 2°, and 150° ± 4° for foams modified by the solutions with concentrations of 0.001 M, 0.005 M, 0.01 M, and 0.02 M, respectively. This modification enables the efficient treatment of various oil/water systems, including oil/water colloidal emulsions (99 vol% of the droplets have dimensions below 500 nm), oil-in-water mixtures up to 40 weight % of the oil component, and “free” oil removal as it was demonstrated in this study for the first time. The emulsions containing 100 ppm diesel oil (DO) were separated with 91.4% efficiency, and the mixtures containing 20 and 40 weight % DO were separated with 99.9% efficiency. Modified foams also quickly remove free DO from the water surface, absorbing 95 g/g DO, whereas water sorption was negligible. The separation of colloidal oil in water emulsions represents the key finding of this study as it indicates the applicability of the treated MFs for the treatment of emulsified industrial wastewater. The demulsification mechanism is based on multiple diffusion processes running at different time scales, including diffusion of the emulsion into the foam and diffusion of oil droplets within the foam, combined with parallel adsorption of oil droplets onto the solid skeleton of the foam. A multiplied usage of these foams for all these niche operations was also proven. The application of our current study with previous studies on modified MFs and polyurethane for water oil separation utilization is summarized in Table S1 ESI.

AbstractProblematic overstudying has been conceptualized as a potential addictive disorder and an early form of work addiction. Previous studies have shown that it is a different phenomenon from healthy learning engagement and is associated with considerable functional impairments. A valid, reliable, and convenient screening measure is warranted to provide cross-culturally comparable and generalizable findings, particularly from large epidemiological studies. The seven-item Bergen Study Addiction Scale (BStAS), based on an addiction framework, was administered alongside learning engagement and anxiety measures in a total sample of 5,884 university students from three continents and five countries: India, Norway, Poland, Portugal, and the United States. The modified five-item version of the scale showed measurement invariance across countries and between genders and allowed for meaningful cross-cultural and gender comparisons. Scores on the BStAS were positively associated with learning engagement, anxiety, and female gender across countries. Clinically significant anxiety levels occurred about 1.7 times more often among students who scored above the cutoff for study addiction. It is concluded that the five-item BStAS is a valid, reliable scale that can be used in different cultures and provides comparable and generalizable results. Future studies with the BStAS may provide greater insight into the nature of problematic overstudying.
Making new enemies: How suppliers’ digital disintermediation strategy shifts consumers’ use of incumbent offerings
Authors: Schauerte Nico , Schauerte Ricarda , Becker Maren , Hennig-Thurau Thorsten 
Published: August 2023

AbstractDigitalization can help suppliers cut ties with their intermediaries and offer products directly to consumers. Such a digital disintermediation strategy likely affects both digital and non-digital incumbents in ways difficult to predict by current marketing theory. In our empirical investigation of digital disintermediation in the multibillion-dollar filmed home entertainment industry, we draw on consumers’ viewing behaviors before and after the launch of the streaming service Disney+. The findings show that access to Disney+ substantially increased the streaming category in the short run, accelerating the demise of non-digital linear television. However, only the new digital service benefited, while streaming incumbents suffered negative outcomes, despite public claims to the contrary. In addition to foreshadowing Netflix’s subsequent difficulties in defending its leadership position, these findings offer suppliers successful ways to liberate themselves from powerful intermediaries and help incumbents brace for the competitive upheavals that a digital disintermediation strategy is likely to trigger.
