MABAC framework for logarithmic bipolar fuzzy multiple attribute group decision-making for supplier selection
Authors: Jana Chiranjibe , Garg Harish , Pal Madhumangal , Sarkar Biswajit , Wei Guiwu 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this article, we introduce logarithmic operations on bipolar fuzzy numbers (BFNs). We present some new operators based on these operations, namely, the logarithm bipolar fuzzy weighted averaging (L-BFWA) operator, logarithm bipolar fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (L-BFOWA) operator, and logarithm bipolar fuzzy weighted geometric (L-BFWG) operator, and logarithm bipolar fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (L-BFOWG) operator. Further, develop a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) methodology model based on logarithm bipolar fuzzy weighted averaging operator and logarithm bipolar fuzzy weighted geometric operators. To justify the proposed model’s efficiency, MABAC (the multiple attribute border approximation area comparison) methods are applied to construct MAGDM with BFNs established on proposed operators. To demonstrate the proposed approach’s materiality and efficiency, use the proposed method to solve supply chain management by considering numerical examples for supplier selection. The selection of suppliers is investigated by aggregation operators to verify the MABAC technique. The presented method is likened to some existing accumulation operators to study the feasibility and applicability of the proposed model. We concluded that the proposed model is accurate, effective, and reliable.
Beratungskompetenz von Weiterbildungspersonal: Wie wird Wissen konzeptualisiert und operationalisiert? Ein Systematisierungsversuch
Authors: Wißhak Susanne , Stanik Tim 
Published: July 2023

ZusammenfassungDer Fokus der vorliegenden Untersuchung liegt auf der Weiterbildungsberatung, insbesondere auf dem Beratungswissen des Weiterbildungspersonals mit seinen verschiedenen Dimensionen. Um eine Eingrenzung zu erreichen, ist die Beratung als professionelle pädagogische Handlungsform Ausgangslage der Untersuchung. Auf Basis eines systematischen Literaturreviews werden Instrumente zur Erfassung von Beratungskompetenzen in Bildung, Beruf und Beschäftigung und in der sozialen Arbeit analysiert. Dabei untersuchen wir, inwiefern Beratungswissen in den Instrumenten konzeptualisiert und operationalisiert wird und ob diese für den Einsatz in der Weiterbildung geeignet sind. Hinsichtlich des Weiterbildungskontexts sind drei Instrumente prinzipiell einschlägig. Es zeigt sich aber, dass Wissen selten explizit erfasst wird. Forschungsdesiderate hinsichtlich der Operationalisierung des Beratungswissens von Weiterbildungspersonal werden diskutiert.

Published: July 2023

AbstractDrilling fluids are the core of drilling operations, and they are responsible for many roles, such as lubricating drill string, cooling down drilling equipment, maintaining wellbore integrity, and transporting cuttings to the surface. High-energy demands have caused the oil and gas production rates to increase by orders of magnitude, which is accompanied by increased usage of different drilling fluids, including oil-based muds (OBM) and water-based muds (WBM). Large amounts of fluids used without caution can cause severe consequences to the environment if not well monitored. Therefore, the field has been exploring the utilization of biodegradable and environmentally friendly additives (green). These green formulations can promote a safer alternative to the currently available commercial additives, meet sophisticated drilling requirements, and ensure resource sustainability. A comprehensive overview of the literature has been conducted in this review, starting with a background on oil and gas reservoir types and cuttings transportation mechanisms, followed by a discussion on various recent green fluids or additives emerging in the field. In addition, an economic comparison has been conducted to assess the feasibility of the reviewed green formulations. Finally, the review ends with a summary and future prospective on the topic. In conclusion, this review suggests the development of multifunctional drilling fluids with good hole-cleaning properties, utilizing additives studied for different functions (e.g., filtration). Enhancement of rheological properties achieved through the addition of these additives indicates their suitability for hole-cleaning applications, which must be confirmed through additional studies. Consequently, filling the existing gap in the literature is by triggering research topics in this area.

Published: July 2023

AbstractBiochar and biochar-based materials have been studied extensively in multidisciplinary areas because of their outstanding physicochemical properties. In this review article, biochar and biochar-based materials in the removal of environmental pollutants, hydrogen generation and carbon dioxide capture were summarized and compared. The interaction mechanisms were discussed from the experimental results and characterization analysis. The high porous structures, active surface sites, (co)doping of single metals/nonmetals, and incorporation of metal oxides or other materials improved the high activity of biochar-based materials in their applications. However, there are still some challenges such as: (1) the fact that H2 generation with high selectivity or the produced syngas to meet the real application requirement in industrial is the main challenge in H2 production; (2) the fact that the selective capture of CO2 with high stability, high adsorption capacity and recyclability at low-cost should be considered and focused on; (3) the sorption-(photo)degradation of the organic chemicals; and (4) the fact that the sorption-reduction-extraction/solidification of metals/radionuclides are efficient methods for the elimination of environmental pollutants. In the end, the perspectives, challenges and possible techniques for biochar-based materials’ real application in future were described.

Batch Active Learning for Multispectral and Hyperspectral Image Segmentation Using Similarity Graphs
Authors: Chen Bohan , Miller Kevin , Bertozzi Andrea L. , Schwenk Jon 
Published: July 2023

AbstractGraph learning, when used as a semi-supervised learning (SSL) method, performs well for classification tasks with a low label rate. We provide a graph-based batch active learning pipeline for pixel/patch neighborhood multi- or hyperspectral image segmentation. Our batch active learning approach selects a collection of unlabeled pixels that satisfy a graph local maximum constraint for the active learning acquisition function that determines the relative importance of each pixel to the classification. This work builds on recent advances in the design of novel active learning acquisition functions (e.g., the Model Change approach in arXiv:2110.07739) while adding important further developments including patch-neighborhood image analysis and batch active learning methods to further increase the accuracy and greatly increase the computational efficiency of these methods. In addition to improvements in the accuracy, our approach can greatly reduce the number of labeled pixels needed to achieve the same level of the accuracy based on randomly selected labeled pixels.

AbstractCurrents are unique drivers of oceanic phylogeography and thus determine the distribution of marine coastal species, along with past glaciations and sea-level changes. Here we reconstruct the worldwide colonization history of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.), the most widely distributed marine flowering plant or seagrass from its origin in the Northwest Pacific, based on nuclear and chloroplast genomes. We identified two divergent Pacific clades with evidence for admixture along the East Pacific coast. Two west-to-east (trans-Pacific) colonization events support the key role of the North Pacific Current. Time-calibrated nuclear and chloroplast phylogenies yielded concordant estimates of the arrival of Z. marina in the Atlantic through the Canadian Arctic, suggesting that eelgrass-based ecosystems, hotspots of biodiversity and carbon sequestration, have only been present there for ~243 ky (thousand years). Mediterranean populations were founded ~44 kya, while extant distributions along western and eastern Atlantic shores were founded at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (~19 kya), with at least one major refuge being the North Carolina region. The recent colonization and five- to sevenfold lower genomic diversity of the Atlantic compared to the Pacific populations raises concern and opportunity about how Atlantic eelgrass might respond to rapidly warming coastal oceans.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe near-surface temperature in Mediterranean climate-type regions has increased overall similarly or more rapidly than the global mean rates. Although these regions have comparable climate characteristics and are located at similar latitudes, recent warming acceleration is most pronounced in the Mediterranean Basin. Here, we investigate the contributions of several climate drivers to regional warming anomalies. We consider greenhouse gases, aerosols, solar irradiance, land–atmosphere interactions, and natural climate variability modes. Our results highlight the dominant role of anthropogenic greenhouse gas radiative forcing in all Mediterranean climate-type regions, particularly those in the northern hemisphere. In the Mediterranean Basin, the recent warming acceleration is largely due to the combined effect of declining aerosols and a negative trend in near-surface soil moisture. While land-atmosphere feedbacks are also important in other locations (e.g., California and Southern Africa), this synergy is unique in the Mediterranean Basin. These two regional climate drivers have natural and anthropogenic components of equivalent importance. Such feedbacks are not fully resolved in the current regional climate projections.

AbstractModelled dietary scenarios often fail to reflect true dietary practice and do not account for variation in the environmental burden of food due to sourcing and production methods. Here we link dietary data from a sample of 55,504 vegans, vegetarians, fish-eaters and meat-eaters with food-level data on greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, eutrophication risk and potential biodiversity loss from a review of 570 life-cycle assessments covering more than 38,000 farms in 119 countries. Our results include the variation in food production and sourcing that is observed in the review of life-cycle assessments. All environmental indicators showed a positive association with amounts of animal-based food consumed. Dietary impacts of vegans were 25.1% (95% uncertainty interval, 15.1–37.0%) of high meat-eaters (≥100 g total meat consumed per day) for greenhouse gas emissions, 25.1% (7.1–44.5%) for land use, 46.4% (21.0–81.0%) for water use, 27.0% (19.4–40.4%) for eutrophication and 34.3% (12.0–65.3%) for biodiversity. At least 30% differences were found between low and high meat-eaters for most indicators. Despite substantial variation due to where and how food is produced, the relationship between environmental impact and animal-based food consumption is clear and should prompt the reduction of the latter.

AbstractGround-level ozone affects Earth’s climate and human health. The formation of ozone is a complex process, depending on both atmospheric chemical processes and meteorological factors. In this study, machine learning coupled with a structure mining analysis was applied to investigate the ozone formation mechanism in Tianjin, China. The results showed isoprene has the greatest individual impact on local ozone generation, which suggests the biogenic emission of vegetation contribute significantly to native ozone pollution. The interaction between isoprene and nitrogen oxides is the strongest among precursors, with an obvious antagonistic effect between them. Reducing active volatile organic compounds is more effective for mitigating ozone pollution. Visualized network diagram also clearly illustrated the impacts of multiple drivers on ozone formation: isoprene, temperature and nitrogen oxides were the key drivers among all the influencing factors, other drivers (such as relative humidity) could assist the key drivers to collaboratively enhance or suppress ozone formation.
Partitioning of the denitrification pathway and other nitrite metabolisms within global oxygen deficient zones

Published: July 2023

AbstractOxygen deficient zones (ODZs) account for about 30% of total oceanic fixed nitrogen loss via processes including denitrification, a microbially mediated pathway proceeding stepwise from NO3− to N2. This process may be performed entirely by complete denitrifiers capable of all four enzymatic steps, but many organisms possess only partial denitrification pathways, either producing or consuming key intermediates such as the greenhouse gas N2O. Metagenomics and marker gene surveys have revealed a diversity of denitrification genes within ODZs, but whether these genes co-occur within complete or partial denitrifiers and the identities of denitrifying taxa remain open questions. We assemble genomes from metagenomes spanning the ETNP and Arabian Sea, and map these metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to 56 metagenomes from all three major ODZs to reveal the predominance of partial denitrifiers, particularly single-step denitrifiers. We find niche differentiation among nitrogen-cycling organisms, with communities performing each nitrogen transformation distinct in taxonomic identity and motility traits. Our collection of 962 MAGs presents the largest collection of pelagic ODZ microorganisms and reveals a clearer picture of the nitrogen cycling community within this environment.

Abstract
Preterm birth is accompanied with many complications and requires severe therapeutic regimens at the neonatal intensive care unit. The influence of the above-mentioned factors on the premature-born infants’ respiratory metagenome or more generally its maturation is unknown. We therefore applied shotgun metagenome sequencing of oropharyngeal swabs to analyze the airway metagenome development of 24 preterm infants from one week postpartum to 15 months of age. Beta diversity analysis revealed a distinct clustering of airway microbial communities from hospitalized preterms and samples after hospital discharge. At nine and 15 months of age, the preterm infants lost their hospital-acquired individual metagenome signatures towards a common taxonomic structure. However, ecological network analysis and Random Forest classification of cross-sectional data revealed that by this age the preterm infants did not succeed in establishing the uniform and stable bacterial community structures that are characteristic for healthy full-term infants.
Verification of EasyGain Settings in the Roger Remote Microphone System
Authors: Qi Shuang , Thibodeau Linda 
Published: July 2023

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the EasyGain settings on a wireless receiver used with a remote microphone (RM) affected output as a function of hearing loss and receiver type.

Method:
To assess the effects of the EasyGain setting on a Roger receiver, a Phonak Naida V90 superpower hearing aid (HA), two universal Roger X (02) receivers, two Roger 18 integrated receivers, and a Roger Inspiro transmitter were used. An electroacoustic evaluation was performed for five degrees of hearing loss ranging from a flat 40 to 80 dB HL, and for nine EasyGain settings from +8 to −8 dB with each Roger receiver.

Results:

A three-way analysis of variance indicated significant main effects of hearing loss, receiver type and EasyGain settings, as well as their two-way interactions (
p
< .05). Overall, the output of the integrated receiver was 2.77 dB higher than that of the universal receiver. The change in output with 2-dB changes in EasyGain setting varied with the degree of hearing loss. For mild hearing loss (40 and 50 dB), every 2-dB change in EasyGain produced an average of 1.93 dB (
SD
= 0.17) change in the root-mean-square (RMS) output. For the higher degrees of hearing loss (60, 70, and 80 dB HL), the change in RMS varied depending on the range of EasyGain setting as follows: when EasyGain was > 0 dB, every 2-dB change in EasyGain setting produced an average change in RMS output of 1.32 dB (
SD
= 0.41); however, when EasyGain was ≤ 0 dB, every 2-dB change resulted in a mean 1.95 dB (
SD
= 0.16) change.

Conclusions:
The benefits of EasyGain technology on the RMS output are dependent on the interaction of the receiver type, degree of hearing loss, and EasyGain settings. The results highlight the importance of electroacoustic verification to determine appropriate settings for optimal audibility when using an RM system.
Our initial experience of monitoring the autoregulation of cerebral blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass
Authors: Andersen Leon , Appelblad Micael , Wiklund Urban , Sundström Nina , Svenmarker Staffan 
Published: July 2023

Background: Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is believed to be relatively constant within an upper and lower blood pressure limit. Different methods are available to monitor CBF autoregulation during surgery. This study aims to critically analyze the application of the cerebral oxygenation index (COx), one of the commonly used techniques, using a reference to data from a series of clinical registrations. Method: CBF was monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy, while cerebral blood pressure was estimated by recordings obtained from either the radial or femoral artery in 10 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. The association between CBF and blood pressure was calculated as a moving continuous correlation coefficient. A COx index > 0.4 was regarded as a sign of abnormal cerebral autoregulation (CA). Recordings were examined to discuss reliability measures and clinical feasibility of the measurements, followed by interpretation of individual results, identification of possible pitfalls, and suggestions of alternative methods. Results and Conclusion: Monitoring of CA during cardiopulmonary bypass is intriguing and complex. A series of challenges and limitations should be considered before introducing this method into clinical practice.
The journey of “Lille Alvilde”
Authors: Bjørkøy Aasta Marie Bjorvand , Kaasa Janicke S. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Maurits Hansen’s short story “Lille Alvilde”
(Little Alvilde,
1829), about a small girl’s idyllic encounter with a bear, is
considered a Norwegian classic. Since it was first published, it has
been reprinted numerous times in several Norwegian publications. Its
extensive publishing history made it available to a large readership
and ensured its canonization. Moreover, Hansen’s story was
distributed abroad, and translated versions were printed in England
and the United States. In this chapter, we present the journey of
“Lille Alvilde”, from Norway to England and the United States, and
back again. By tracing the transnational publishing and translation
history of the original text into the different English versions, we
unpack the distribution, translation, and transformation of Hansen’s
canonized story.
“Travel […] is a part of education”
Authors: Shefrin Jill 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Early modern and Enlightenment children
travelled. They toured, emigrated, visited family, or fled
persecution. Silvia Cole, the Dutch-English granddaughter of a
Huguenot, moved to London. An Austrian ambassador’s daughter read
English children’s books. Colonial civil servants and military
officers fathered children while posted abroad, sometimes with local
women. Teachers, female and male, also travelled, whether as
religious, political, or economic migrants. Writing masters
travelled to the American colonies. The French Revolution spread
educators across Europe. Booksellers and printers published in more
than one language and advertised to colonial markets. Drawing on
paratexts, life writing, manuscripts, ephemera, and marginalia, this
chapter seeks commonalities of reading experiences among children
living abroad or in the care of foreign teachers, exploring how
booksellers catered to both groups.
A World of books
Authors: Sánchez-Eppler Karen 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Three late-nineteenth-century American farm boys
wrote and illustrated a homemade library. The Nelson family lived in
rural New Hampshire, USA in what seem narrowly local circumstances –
far from transnational. Yet the books they create depict an
imaginary “World”. Their library reflects competition and conflict
between imaginary nations, but also collaboration, with some books
claiming transnational authorship and publication sites.
International communication provides impetus for the Nelson
brothers’ bookmaking in ways that illuminate the transnational
dimensions of children’s book production in the real world. The case
study offered in this chapter both explores the significance of
global thinking for the Nelson’s bookmaking and asks what their
homemade publications reveal about the transnational circulation and
function of all children’s books.
