Exploring Symbolic Effect of New Media: The Impact of Bilibili on Gen Z’s Cohort Identity and Aesthetic Choices in Fashion
Authors: Peng Hsin-Pey 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis study examines Bilibili, a leading video community for Generation Z in China, known as ‘B-site’. The paper proposes a conceptual framework to explore how the platform provides entertainment features that enable Gen Z users to establish digital connections with the internet. The study aims to explore that Bilibili's unique features, such as barrage culture, user- generated content, interest-based communities, and differentiated content, have facilitated the formation of a strong sense of community among its users. This has influenced their cultural decision-making in fashion aesthetics and beyond. The paper draws on qualitative data generated culturally from, statistical information, and digital-field surveys to provide insights into Bilibili's rise and impact on Chinese youth culture. The study found that Bilibili grown from an ACG niche video channel has become a prevalent application in the daily lives of Chinese youth, forming a Gen-Z cultural community and defining ‘their fashion’.

Authors: Luque-Zequeira Natalia , Torregrosa Marta 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe mediatization of fashion explores the ways in which fashion practices (production, consumption, distribution and dissemination) are articulated and depend on the logic of digital media. The aim of this research is to show that in addition to the changes that the traditional fashion show has undergone due to the influence of mediatization, other effects are emerging, such as the appearance of autonomous audiovisual productions on YouTube, characterized by a narrative expansion of the curatorial purpose of the collection. The paper analyzes the case of Virgil Abloh’s film productions for the presentation of Louis Vuitton’s men’s collections.
Rethinking Fashion Storytelling Through Digital Archives and Immersive Museum Experiences
Authors: Andò Romana , Briatore Samuele , Denaro Gianni 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe Italian fashion system is represented by a wide and valuable heritage that needs to be properly preserved and experienced by everybody, from fashion students to scholars, artisans and designers, etc. Although in the last decades there have been many attempts to create a museum dedicated specifically to Italian fashion, in the end, institutions or museums have not been able to carry out a valuable and accomplished project. One fundamental reason is represented by the Italian specificities in terms of the fashion-industry evolution and, more in general, by the complexity of the fashion system which has been built and continues to grow at the crossroads between different experiences, practices, and relations. As such, it has been studied from diverse disciplines and approaches ranging from art to design, from economics to sociology of culture, and so on. Moreover, when considering both the intangible and tangible fashion heritage, gathering them in order to preserve and share them becomes extremely difficult. The challenge is therefore to understand how to collect, preserve, and enjoy this heritage, combining the cultural pluralism of local traditions and their products, together with the creativity of artists and designers and the economic aspects of the industry, relating them all with the cultural and social features of everyday life-fashion. The aim of this paper is to address these issues starting from the preliminary reflections of the PNRR project (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza, National Recovery and Resilience Plan) “Cultural heritage active innovation for next-gen sustainable society”, (CHANGES aims at promoting interdisciplinary research and inter-sectorial synergies to support the development of innovative long-term strategies for the interpretation, understanding, conservation, and valorization of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The extended partnership is composed of 11 Universities, 4 Research Institutions, 3 Advanced Studies Schools, 6 Companies, and 1 Center of Excellence (see https://sites.google.com/uniroma1.it/changes/home).) in order to discuss in detail the Spoke 2, “Creativity and Intangible Heritage” thematic line on fashion preservation and its musealization as developed by the authors of this essay.

Authors: de Gois Miruna Raimundi , Novelli Daniela , da Rosa Lucas 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis article reflects on the future of artisanry in the context of the Metaverse in Brazil, considering artisanry relationship with fashion. Hence, the Metaverse is described through NFTs, blockchain, as well as avatars and cyborgs. Then, artisanry, especially in Brazil, and its relationship with fashion in contemporaneity are described. This study aimed to answer the following research question: considering the profile of Brazilian artisans, how would their artisanal production adapt to the Metaverse? To achieve the results, we used bibliographic, descriptive, and qualitative research to analyze the literature and to develop discussions based on distinctive ways of building objects in virtual universes. We concluded that artisans will have to develop interdisciplinary skills linked to computerized technology to remain competitive in the market, added to investments and stimuli from public and private institutions.
Metaverse and Its Communication. The Future is Here. True or False?
Authors: Winterhalter Cecilia 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis text analyses the metaverse: its definitions and concepts, its meaning and impact; digital art, fashion and their communication; its performance issues, its failures, and criticism. It compares existing metaverse definitions and concepts, evaluates of their advantages and disadvantages, their chance of coming true, their present degree of evolution. Closer looks are dedicated to the influence of a virtual space on art and fashion, their communication and dissemination and to the metaverse failures, problems, and criticism. Not only the metaverse technology, but also its intended innovation of communication, work, education, healthcare, business, products, and social interactions, suffer from performance, quality and security issues. Today, irreconcilable visions of the metaverse coexist: a valuable, socially useful metaverse and a consumer and entertainment metaverse. It is impossible to predict the future, but any virtual world concept will have to solve these critical issues. Not the metaverse, but the greatest crisis of our times (with climate change, pandemic, war, economic crisis) is altering the products and their communication, undermining the luxury, fashion and art sector. It is changing the value of identity and producing a paradigm shift. Something must end, to allow the growth of something new: because change is life.

Authors: Ferrini Giulia , Huber Sebastian , Batt Verena 
Published: August 2023

AbstractNon-fungible tokens (NFTs) have witnessed unprecedented dynamism over the recent years with only few luxury brands experimenting with the technology albeit the very personal characteristics of NFT ownership. Little is known about how luxury brands use NFTs to develop their brand image and what opportunities luxury brands anticipate from NFTs as a new technology, digital product category or customer relationship channel. The present research note offers an applied research design to tackle these questions and systematically understand the potential of NFTs for personal luxury brands at large.
The Perks of Being Digital. Nikeland: A Case Study
Authors: Temperino Erika 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe increasing digitalization of consumer behavior and lives has created both opportunities and challenges for fashion brands seeking to engage with their audience. This paper aims to reflect on the perks of being digital for fashion companies, through the observation of Nikeland platform on Roblox as a case study for more general considerations. The paper begins by providing an overview of the current digital landscape and the increasingly marked need for brands to create a more engaging relationship with their customers. Two sections will be devoted to the case study, one for the description of the platform, resulting from a personal observation of this, and one for the critical discussion of the characteristics and advantages highlighted. In the conclusion section there will be a further discussion about the potential benefits derived from the use of a new digital business model and how, however, it is necessary to give priority to transparency and authenticity in this process towards users-customers.

Electroweak phase transition in a right-handed neutrino superfield extended NMSSM
Authors: Borah Pankaj , Ghosh Pradipta , Roy Sourov , Saha Abhijit Kumar 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Supersymmetric models with singlet extensions can accommodate single- or multi-step first-order phase transitions (FOPT) along the various constituent field directions. Such a framework can also produce Gravitational Waves, detectable at the upcoming space-based interferometers, e.g., U-DECIGO. We explore the dynamics of electroweak phase transition and the production of Gravitational Waves in an extended set-up of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) with a Standard Model singlet right-handed neutrino superfield. We examine the role of the new parameters compared to NMSSM on the phase transition dynamics and observe that the occurrence of a FOPT, an essential requirement for Electroweak Baryogenesis, typically favours a right-handed sneutrino state below 125 GeV. Our investigation shows how the analysis can offer complementary probes for physics beyond the Standard Model besides the collider searches.

Published: August 2023

ZusammenfassungDie Elektroenzephalogramm(EEG)-gesteuerte Anästhesie ist aus modernen Operationssälen nicht mehr wegzudenken und hat sich als Standard-Monitoring etabliert. Viele Anästhesisten verlassen sich dabei auf die prozessierten EEG-Indizes und hoffen, dadurch ihren Patienten anästhesiebedingte Komplikationen wie intraoperative Awareness, postoperatives Delir oder andere kognitive Komplikationen zu ersparen. Diese Übersichtsarbeit fasst klinisch relevante Informationen und Studien über die 5 im Klinikalltag am häufigsten verwendeten Anästhesietiefe-Monitore zusammen. Messprinzipien, die den verschiedenen Monitoren zugrunde liegen, werden erläutert. Zudem wird eine praktische Anleitung im Umgang mit potenziellen Artefakten und irreführenden „Trendanzeigen“ im prozessiertem EEG angeboten.
Speech perception in modulated noise assessed in bimodal CI users
Authors: Weißgerber Tobias , Stöver Timo , Baumann Uwe 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Although good speech perception in quiet is achievable with cochlear implants (CIs), speech perception in noise is severely impaired compared to normal hearing (NH). In the case of a bimodal CI fitting with a hearing aid (HA) in the opposite ear, the amount of residual acoustic hearing influences speech perception in noise.

Objective
The aim of this work was to investigate speech perception in noise in a group of bimodal CI users and compare the results to age-matched HA users and people without subjective hearing loss, as well as with a young NH group.

Materials and methods
Study participants comprised 19 bimodal CI users, 39 HA users, and 40 subjectively NH subjects in the age group 60–90 years and 14 young NH subjects. Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) in noise were adaptively measured using the Oldenburg Sentence Test for the two spatial test conditions S0N0 (speech and noise from the front) and multisource-noise field (MSNF; speech from the front, four spatially distributed noise sources) in continuous noise of the Oldenburg Sentence Test (Ol-noise) and amplitude-modulated Fastl noise (Fastl-noise).

Results
With increasing hearing loss, the median SRT worsened significantly in all conditions. In test condition S0N0, the SRT of the CI group was 5.6 dB worse in Ol-noise than in the young NH group (mean age 26.4 years) and 22.5 dB worse in Fastl-noise; in MSNF, the differences were 6.6 dB (Ol-noise) and 17.3 dB (Fastl-noise), respectively. In the young NH group, median SRT in condition S0N0 improved by 11 dB due to gap listening; in the older NH group, SRTs improved by only 3.1 dB. In the HA and bimodal CI groups there was no gap listening effect and SRTs in Fastl-noise were even worse than in Ol-noise.

Conclusion
With increasing hearing loss, speech perception in modulated noise is even more impaired than in continuous noise.

Authors: Zhu Hai-Bin , Zhu Hai-Tao , Jiang Liu , Nie Pei , Hu Juan , Tang Wei , Zhang Xiao-Yan , Li Xiao-Ting , Yao Qian , Sun Ying-Shi 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Objectives
To explore the potential of radiomics features to predict the histologic grade of nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NF-PNET) patients using non-contrast sequence based on MRI.

Methods
Two hundred twenty-eight patients with NF-PNETs undergoing MRI at 5 centers were retrospectively analyzed. Data from center 1 (n = 115) constituted the training cohort, and data from centers 2–5 (n = 113) constituted the testing cohort. Radiomics features were extracted from T2-weighted images and the apparent diffusion coefficient. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was applied to select the most important features and to develop radiomics signatures. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was performed to assess models.

Results
Tumor boundary, enhancement homogeneity, and vascular invasion were used to construct the radiological model to stratify NF-PNET patients into grade 1 and 2/3 groups, which yielded AUC of 0.884 and 0.684 in the training and testing groups. A radiomics model including 4 features was constructed, with an AUC of 0.941 and 0.871 in the training and testing cohorts. The fusion model combining the radiomics signature and radiological characteristics showed good performance in the training set (AUC = 0.956) and in the testing set (AUC = 0.864), respectively.

Conclusion
The developed model that integrates radiomics features with radiological characteristics could be used as a non-invasive, dependable, and accurate tool for the preoperative prediction of grade in NF-PNETs.

Clinical relevance statement
Our study revealed that the fusion model based on a non-contrast MR sequence can be used to predict the histologic grade before operation. The radiomics model may be a new and effective biological marker in NF-PNETs.

Key Points

The diagnostic performance of the radiomics model and fusion model was better than that of the model based on clinical information and radiological features in predicting grade 1 and 2/3 of nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs).

Good performance of the model in the four external testing cohorts indicated that the radiomics model and fusion model for predicting the grades of NF-PNETs were robust and reliable, indicating the two models could be used in the clinical setting and facilitate the surgeons’ decision on risk stratification.

The radiomics features were selected from non-contrast T2-weighted images (T2WI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence, which means that the administration of contrast agent was not needed in grading the NF-PNETs.

AbstractThe prediction skill for precipitation anomalies in late spring and summer months—a significant component of extreme climate events—has remained stubbornly low for years. This paper presents a new idea that utilizes information on boreal spring land surface temperature/subsurface temperature (LST/SUBT) anomalies over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) to improve prediction of subsequent summer droughts/floods over several regions over the world, East Asia and North America in particular. The work was performed in the framework of the GEWEX/LS4P Phase I (LS4P-I) experiment, which focused on whether the TP LST/SUBT provides an additional source for subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictability. The summer 2003, when there were severe drought/flood over the southern/northern part of the Yangtze River basin, respectively, has been selected as the focus case. With the newly developed LST/SUBT initialization method, the observed surface temperature anomaly over the TP has been partially produced by the LS4P-I model ensemble mean, and 8 hotspot regions in the world were identified where June precipitation is significantly associated with anomalies of May TP land temperature. Consideration of the TP LST/SUBT effect has produced about 25–50% of observed precipitation anomalies in most hotspot regions. The multiple models have shown more consistency in the hotspot regions along the Tibetan Plateau-Rocky Mountain Circumglobal (TRC) wave train. The mechanisms for the LST/SUBT effect on the 2003 drought over the southern part of the Yangtze River Basin are discussed. For comparison, the global SST effect has also been tested and 6 regions with significant SST effects were identified in the 2003 case, explaining about 25–50% of precipitation anomalies over most of these regions. This study suggests that the TP LST/SUBT effect is a first-order source of S2S precipitation predictability, and hence it is comparable to that of the SST effect. With the completion of the LS4P-I, the LS4P-II has been launched and the LS4P-II protocol is briefly presented.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Introduction
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a good treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Approximately 60% of the patients are females, and 40% are males. This study analyzed pre- and postoperative angle differences in the range of motion (ROM), and the occurrence of complications with traditional posterior stabilization versus kinematic TKA in relation to gender.

Methods
Data from 434 patients with primary cemented total knee arthroplasty from 2018 to 2021 were collected. Alpha and beta angles were determined pre- and postsurgery. The ROM was collected pre- and postoperatively and during follow-up. Additionally, perioperative complications, revision rate, and blood transfusion management were investigated.

Results
The pre- and postoperative alpha-angle between men and women was significantly different, as was the level of alpha-angle correction between men and women (p = 0.001; p = 0.003). Same-gender differences in pre- to postoperative alpha-angles between traditional and kinematic TKA were shown (women (w): p = 0.001; men (m); p = 0.042). High postoperative alpha angles led to less ROM in traditional TKA for women (p = 0.008). No significant gender differences in ROM, perioperative complications, or revision surgery and transfusion rates were found.

Conclusion
Despite high gender differences in pre- and postoperative angles, only female patients with traditional arthroplasty and high postoperative alpha angles showed less ROM in the follow-up. This leads to the assumption that gender-related pre- and postoperative angle differences, and the degree of angle correction, do not influence the ROM or perioperative occurrence of complications. Both designs present safe procedures for both genders with a wide spectrum of axis deformities.
