Complex of antamanide with the nitrate anion
Authors: Vaňura Petr , Sýkora David , Uhlíková Tereza 
Published: August 2023

AbstractAnionic complex of antamanide with the nitrate anion has been proven by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) method. Further, applying quantum chemical DFT calculations, the most probable structure of this complex was derived. The nitrate anion is embedded in the molecule of antamanide and its oxygens atoms are bonded by seven bonds to the hydrogen atoms of the ligand. Finally, the interaction energy, E(int), of the antamanide-NO3− complex was calculated as E(int) = -175.9 kJ/mol.
A non-destructive electro-acoustic method to characterize the pull-in voltage of electrostatic actuators
Authors: Wall Franziska , Schenk Hermann A. G. , Melnikov Anton , Kaiser Bert , Schenk Harald 
Published: August 2023

AbstractFor electrostatic actuators, the pull-in marks an upper limit for the operation range. Once reached, the electrodes come into contact and are shorted without further protection. A non-destructive measurement technique to predict this failure mode is of high interest to allow, e.g. fabrication monitoring or reliability studies. To this end, we develop a surprisingly simple nonlinear lumped parameter model (LPM) for a rather complex electrostatic actuator, designed for an in-ear loudspeaker application. It turns out that a single degree-of-freedom model with only one parameter is sufficient. Our key approach is to experimentally determine this free model parameter by analysing harmonic distortions at low frequencies. Harmonic distortions are a very sensitive tool for nonlinearities. Our method is suggested by simulations with a 2D stationary finite element method (FEM), demonstrating how the analysis of harmonic distortions for voltages far below the pull-in can predict not only the DC pull-in but also the quasi-static AC pull-in voltages at different working points. The distortion analysis of electrostatic actuator ensembles therefore seems a viable route for their non-destructive characterization in the nonlinear domain.

Abstract
Background
The burden of multimorbidity has been observed worldwide and it has significant consequences on health outcomes. In Australia, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is comparatively low amongst Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders, yet no studies have examined the effect of multimorbidity on HRQoL within this at-risk population. This study seeks to fill that gap by employing a longitudinal research design.

Methods
Longitudinal data were derived from three waves (9, 13, and 17) of the household, income and labour dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. A total of 1007 person-year observations from 592 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander individuals aged 15 years and above were included. HRQoL was captured using the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and multimorbidity was defined using self-reports of having been diagnosed with two or more chronic health conditions. Symmetric fixed-effects linear regression models were used to assess how intraindividual changes in multimorbidity were associated with intraindividual changes in HRQoL.

Results
Approximately 21% of Indigenous Australians were classified as experiencing multimorbidity. Respondents had statistically significantly lower HRQoL on the SF-36 sub-scales, summary measures, and health-utility index in those observations in which they experienced multimorbidity. Among others, multimorbidity was associated with lower scores on the SF-36 physical-component scale (β =  − 6.527; Standard Error [SE] = 1.579), mental-component scale (β =  − 3.765; SE = 1.590) and short-form six-dimension utility index (β =  − 0.075; SE = 0.017).

Conclusion
This study demonstrates that having multiple chronic conditions is statistically significantly associated with lower HRQoL amongst Indigenous Australians. These findings suggest that comprehensive and culturally sensitive health strategies addressing the complex needs of individuals with multimorbidity should be implemented to improve the HRQoL of Indigenous Australians.
Trajectories of plant communities in Massachusetts, USA cranberry farms discontinued from agriculture

Published: August 2023

AbstractRetirement of cultivated croplands creates potential for ecosystem and wetland restoration, but vegetation and soil legacies of cropping influence the development of post-agriculture vegetation. In low-lying coastal watersheds of southeastern Massachusetts, cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarponAiton) are cultivated in commercial farm units that are diked, leveled and sanded beds created from historic wetlands. Current low cranberry prices and expanding cranberry production elsewhere now increase the likelihood of cranberry farmland retirement. We quantified the trajectories of plant species richness and cover, and plant characteristics (life form, native or non-native, wetland or non-wetland) in a chronosequence of cranberry farm beds that ranged from cultivated units to those retired from cropping and revegetated for 90 years with no post-cropping management. Species richness increased from active beds to 10–20 year-old beds and subsequently decreased. Post-retirement species richness was overwhelmingly dominated by native species. Shrub and tree richness and cover increased steadily over time. The richness of wetland, upland and facultative species all increased quickly after retirement and then declined in the oldest retired beds. The basal area and canopy cover of red maple (Acer rubrum) and pitch pine (Pinus rigida) increased over time. Vegetation followed a relatively consistent successional trajectory and the plant community after five to nine decades was predominantly forest and dominated by non-wetland plants. Encouragement of long-term persistence of greater diversity and cover of wetland plant species on retired cranberry farms will likely require active hydrological and soil modifications that decrease sand depth and raise water tables.
60th birthday of ‘A Behavioral Theory of the Firm’: a review of the relational concepts and recommendations for future research
Authors: Hagen Moritz , Su Wenjia , Junge Sebastian 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis year, we celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of ‘A Behavioral Theory of the Firm’ (BTF) (Cyert and March in A behavioral theory of the firm, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, 1963), which central ideas and concepts are fundamental to almost all theoretical and empirical work focusing on organizational decision-making. In particular, the four underlying relational concepts of BTF: (1) quasi resolution of conflict, (2) uncertainty avoidance, (3) problemistic search, and (4) organizational learning provide theoretical explanation for firms’ decision-making behavior. However, as literature has grown, focus of the studies and application of the concepts are becoming increasingly fragmented, leading to parallel and decoupled insights rather than cohesive and complementary explanations. We conduct a systematic literature review of 114 publications in top-ranked journals to provide a deeper understanding of the applications of BTF’s four relational concepts and their interrelation. Reviewing and synthesizing extant literature, we identify seven different organizational decision areas in which mainly two relational concepts, problemistic search and organizational learning, are applied to explain specific firm behaviors. The relational concept of quasi resolution of conflict and uncertainty avoidance seem underrepresented or almost neglected in the BTF-related research. Furthermore, we provide an integrative process framework connecting the four relational concepts and related research insights, and thereby, highlight opportunities for future research.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe fast-growing sector of insects for food and feed stimulates researchers and the industry to explore uncharted territories, such as insect breeding, to improve economically important insect fitness traits. The yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor L., is one of the most thoroughly studied insect species as food and feed. However, data on mating compatibility and the effect of cross-breeding between different strains on the performance and fitness of the hybrids are scarce. In the present study, we comparatively evaluated the mating compatibility between two T. molitor inbred strains (Greek and Italian) and their outbred strains, i.e., Italian (♀)-Greek (♂) and Greek (♀)-Italian (♂), as well as the performance of their hybrid offspring. Based on the results, there is good mating compatibility among adults of the strains tested. Offspring performance, quantified as larval survival and final larval weight, followed a similar pattern among the crossings examined. Even though differences were insignificant, the outbreeding of females of the Italian strain resulted in a higher cumulative number of eggs and hatching rate and higher offspring weight. The present study sheds light on the mating compatibility of different T. molitor strains and their hybrids' economically important life table characteristics to take the mass production of insects one step further.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of placental anastomoses is the most effective treatment for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). A robust mosaic of placenta and its vascular network could support surgeons’ exploration of the placenta by enlarging the fetoscope field-of-view. In this work, we propose a learning-based framework for field-of-view expansion from intra-operative video frames.

Methods
While current state of the art for fetoscopic mosaicking builds upon the registration of anatomical landmarks which may not always be visible, our framework relies on learning-based features and keypoints, as well as robust transformer-based image-feature matching, without requiring any anatomical priors. We further address the problem of occlusion recovery and frame relocalization, relying on the computed features and their descriptors.

Results
Experiments were conducted on 10 in-vivo TTTS videos from two different fetal surgery centers. The proposed framework was compared with several state-of-the-art approaches, achieving higher $$\textrm{SSIM}_{5}$$

SSIM
5

on 7 out of 10 videos and a success rate of $$93.25\%$$

in occlusion recovery.

Conclusion
This work introduces a learning-based framework for placental mosaicking with occlusion recovery from intra-operative videos using a keypoint-based strategy and features. The proposed framework can compute the placental panorama and recover even in case of camera tracking loss where other methods fail. The results suggest that the proposed framework has large potential to pave the way to creating a surgical navigation system for TTTS by providing robust field-of-view expansion.
When is Disbelief Epistemic Injustice? Criminal Procedure, Recovered Memories, and Deformations of the Epistemic Subject
Authors: Bublitz Jan Christoph 
Published: August 2023

AbstractPeople can be treated unjustly with respect to the level of credibility others accord to their testimony. This is the core idea of the philosophical idea of epistemic justice. It should be of utmost interest to criminal law which extensively deals with normative issues of evidence and testimony. It may reconstruct some of the long-standing criticisms of criminal law regarding credibility assessments and the treatment of witnesses, especially in sexual assault cases. However, philosophical discussions often overlook the intricate complexities of real procedural law and its underlying considerations. In its present form, the philosophical notion of epistemic injustice provides limited insights into legal discourse; it necessitates translation and adaptation. This study contributes to this endeavor by examining the contentious issue of testimony from witnesses who have undergone trauma-focused psychotherapy. Since the 1980s, courts worldwide were troubled with cases of false accusations based on false memories generated by suggestive therapeutic interventions. As a result, such post-therapy testimonies are discounted in one way or another in many jurisdictions. However, courts are still confronted with such testimonies, and the modi vivendi legal systems have established to deal with them continue to give rise to concerns about unjust treatment of witnesses. The question is thus whether legal rules or established practices of evaluating testimony based on memories which resurfaced after psychotherapy are epistemically and legally just. The paper presents seven ways in which courts may assess such testimonies and examines them in light of epistemic and procedural justice. Some of them prima facie constitute a form of epistemic injustice because they discount testimonies to an unwarranted degree. But these injustices might be justified by overriding principles favoring defendants. Nonetheless, the idea of epistemic justice, more broadly understood, inspires two principles that may serve as a foundation for a future conception of epistemic justice adapted to the law.
Finite Element Analysis of Additively Manufactured Continuous Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Composites
Authors: Dong Chensong 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe objective of this study is to provide a numerical modeling approach for continuous carbon fiber (CCF)-reinforced fused filament fabricated composites. Although these materials have been extensively studied, an effective numerical modeling technique for their mechanical performance does not exist. To fill this technical gap, a numerical modeling approach based on finite element analysis is presented. The effective material properties of the Onyx matrix when voids are present are derived by the Kerner model. The material properties of CCF-reinforced composites are modeled by Hashin’s model. Both the flexural and tensile properties are simulated. The modeling approach is validated against various experimental results.
The Irish Trainee Emergency Research Network (ITERN): five years of collaboration

Published: August 2023

AbstractIn 2018, a group of Irish emergency medicine (EM) trainees recognised their common interest in collaborative research and the difficulties that trainees can encounter when trying to broaden their research capacity, prompting the beginning of the Irish Trainee Emergency Research Network (ITERN) journey. Trainee-led collaboratives have been shown to be feasible and have the potential to deliver impactful research projects, generating an evidence base that may not have been possible without collaboration. This article describes the successes and achievement of ITERN and describes the processes and challenges that a trainee-led research network can encounter. The authors believe that trainee-led collaboratives can deliver powerful and impactful research for patients and broaden the research capacity of individuals, hospitals, and groups of healthcare professionals.
How venture capital funding changes an entrepreneur’s digital identity: more self-confidence and professionalism but less authenticity!
Authors: Block Jörn H. , Diegel Walter , Fisch Christian 
Published: August 2023

AbstractAn entrepreneur’s digital identity matters for resource acquisition and venture development. However, we know little about the factors that influence or change entrepreneurs’ digital identities. This study explores how entrepreneurs’ digital identities change after a venture capital (VC) funding round. Applying a language-based text analysis to a large sample of tweets from 2,094 US entrepreneurs, we analyze entrepreneurs’ digital identities before and after VC funding. The results of our analysis show that VC funding can impact the entrepreneur’s digital identity in both a positive and a negative way. On the positive side, entrepreneurs increasingly use language indicative of higher self-confidence, positive emotions, and increased professionalism. On the negative side, we find that the entrepreneur’s digital identity loses its authenticity, particularly with high funding amounts raised. The latter can be problematic as authenticity is shown to be a critical resource that entrepreneurs possess to build legitimacy and engage stakeholders in their venture. Our study contributes to research on the consequences of VC funding for entrepreneurs as well as to research on entrepreneurial digital identities. Practical implications exist for entrepreneurs managing their entrepreneurial identities over the course of venture development.
Back to black: a mineralogical and chemical characterisation of Atticising fourth century BCE black gloss ware

Published: August 2023

AbstractMost previous studies on Attic black gloss technology focused on productions from Greece, especially Athens. However, the black gloss technique constitutes the most widespread decoration practice across the Mediterranean from the Archaic to the Hellenistic periods. Focusing on both Attic and Atticising black gloss productions from sites in Sicily and Asia Minor, our work aims to shed new light on the technology of this decoration and its transmission throughout the Mediterranean during the fourth century BCE. Additionally, to investigate the technological relationship between black and the less common intentional red gloss decorations, a selection of bichrome black-and-red and red gloss vessels were included in this study. For this purpose, we applied an integrated analytical approach, aiming to characterise both the chemistry and the mineralogy of archaeological black and red gloss decorations. This approach includes ceramic petrography, pXRF, µ-XRD2, and SEM-EDS. Specimens from the fourth century BCE from Manfria (chora of Gela), Iasos (Caria), and Priene (Ionia) were analysed. These assemblages reflect various production groups identified by the chemical and petrographic analyses of the ceramic bodies. The µ-XRD2 and SEM-EDS measurements of the gloss show a certain degree of mineralogical and chemical variability that does not necessarily correlate with the recognised production groups but, rather, reflects different technological practices. Despite this variability, the results suggest that the various gloss productions were produced with a very similar technological process and offer new insights into the mechanisms through which the black gloss technique diffused throughout the Mediterranean.
Selecting plant species to rehabilitate Phytophthora cinnamomi infested forest

AbstractFor most Western Australian plant species, no information is available on the effect of Phytophthora cinnamomi on seedling emergence, early survival, and early plant growth. Such information is required when selecting species for rehabilitating Eucalyptus marginata (jarrah) forest areas affected by Phytophthora dieback. This study evaluates the response of several native species to P. cinnamomi to identify those resistant to the pathogen at the early stages of plant development. Firstly, the effect of P. cinnamomi on seedling emergence and early survival was evaluated for 50 native species. Then, 24 species were selected and tested for their resistance to P. cinnamomi when more mature. They were infested at 5–7 months old and disease impact assessed after two months. Of 38 species that emerged in sufficient numbers for statistical analysis, P. cinnamomi did not affect either emergence or survival of 9 species, emergence or survival was decreased in 14 species, and both emergence and survival were significantly decreased in 15 species. Of the species tested at 5–7 months old, two were resistant, six were moderately resistant, ten were susceptible, three were highly susceptible, and three were tolerant hosts of P. cinnamomi. These results indicate that field resistance recorded from mature plants may be due to asymptomatic infection or resistance may not be present in seedlings. Therefore, data from mature plants may not be appropriate when selecting species for seed-based restoration.
Is there a different rating of perceived exertion in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Authors: Schwensfeier Leon , Kreutz Thorsten , Brinkmann Christian 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Objective
Studies show that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) do not engage in regular exercise as often as individuals without T2DM. In addition to numerous barriers to engaging in regular exercise, a different rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during physical activity has been hypothesized to play a role. Therefore, this study investigates whether T2DM affects RPE.

Methods
RPE values (BORG scale ratings) and heart rate (HR) data were analyzed during an endurance step test (25 W + 25 W every 2 min) at different workloads relative to the individual maximum load (50%, 70% and 90% of peak workload (Wpeak)) in patients with T2DM and in non-diabetic control (CON) subjects (n = 12 in each group). Furthermore, in a larger group of overweight patients with T2DM (n = 81), it was investigated whether glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels correlate with RPE values at the different relative loads.

Results
Neither RPE nor HR values significantly differed between T2DM and CON subjects at 50%, 70% or 90% of Wpeak. No significant correlations were identified between HbA1c levels and RPE values.

Conclusion
There is no evidence in our study that T2DM leads to a different perception of physical exertion. Other causes must therefore be responsible for the increased lack of motivation of T2DM patients to engage in regular exercise.
