Published: April 2023

AbstractThis paper describes the Data Domotopia a 2300 + respondent self-administered web-based survey. It includes 100 + multi-purpose items about home-making and stillness in a moving world. We suppose that home-making can reveal coping strategies and resilience practices to make everyday life work – as home is a central location in people’s activity-travel patterns. To describe this phenomenon, the concept of Domotopia is introduced, defining how people arrange, use, and experience their homes to cope with the pathologies of accelerated and liquid modernity (Bauman 2005). While the Data Domotopia is based on a mixed-method combining qualitative and quantitative material, this paper focuses mainly on the description of the questionnaire – which is organized into three interrelated layers: the dwelling, the dwellers, and the neighborhood. Each of these layers unfolds in functional, social, emotional and sensory components. The survey covers most of the contemporary issues related to home-making. This includes the domestic space and gender issues; the socio-spatial resources (mobility, action space, core, and wider social network); lifestyles, ideals, and residential aspiration; time pressures, time use, organization and stress; equipment, rules and arrangements; interpersonal relations, cohabitation and negotiation, dominance and power. Intakes on the Data Domotopia is given by two concrete cases about the time-space coverage of the habitual action space, and about inter-personal task allocation. These examples show the potential of the data to study domocentric stillness and resilience to urban pathologies. The data – aggregated to the infra-communal level – is available for research purposes.

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn situ observations of interplanetary (IP) coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and IP shocks are important to study as they are the main components of solar activity. Hundreds of IP shocks have been detected by various space missions at different times and heliocentric distances. Some of these are followed by clearly identified drivers, while some others are not. In this study, we carry out a statistical analysis of the distributions of plasma and magnetic parameters of the IP shocks recorded at various distances to the Sun. We classify the shocks according to the heliocentric distance, namely from 0.29 to 0.99 AU (Helios-1/2); near 1 AU (Wind, ACE, and STEREO-A/B); and from 1.35 to 5.4 AU (Ulysses). We also differentiate the IP shocks into two populations, those with a detected ICME and those without one. As expected, we find that there are no significant differences in the results from spacecraft positioned at 1 AU. Moreover, the distributions of shock parameters, as well as the shock normal, have no significant variations with the heliocentric distance. Additionally, we investigate how the number of shocks associated with stream-interaction regions (SIRs) increases with distance in the proportion to ICME/shocks. From 1 to 5 AU, SIRs/ shock occurrence increases slightly from 21% to 34%; in contrast, ICME/shock occurrence decreases from 47% to 17%. We also find indication of an asymmetry induced by the Parker spiral for SIRs and none for ICMEs.
Unwanted knowledge transmission
Authors: Ólafsson Ísak Andri 
Published: April 2023

AbstractJohn Greco (2020) sets out to create a unified virtue-theoretic account of knowledge generation and transmission in his book The Transmission of Knowledge. One of the advantages of his view is that it can defend the achievement view from a known strand of counterexamples. To accomplish that, he relies on joint agency being essential to knowledge transmission. Joint agency can be characterized as a sort of interdependent and interactive cooperation between speaker and hearer that share an intention to transmit knowledge. This paper introduces the phenomenon of unwanted knowledge transmission which shows that joint agency, as Greco presents it, is not essential to knowledge transmission. Four types of unwanted knowledge transmissions will be introduced that pose threats to Greco’s account by showing that shared intention, a key characteristic of joint agency, is not present in all instances of knowledge transmission. Finally, some potential ways to defend Greco’s view will be considered and discussed.
Effect of Manufacturing Conditions and Al Addition on Inclusion Characteristics in Co-Based Dual-Phase High Entropy Alloy

Published: April 2023

AbstractThree Co-based dual-phase high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were produced by different manufacturing conditions: arc-melting with Ar protection (Ar-HEA), vacuum induction melting in Al2O3 crucible (Cr-HEA) and vacuum induction melting with 0.5 at. pct Al (Al-HEA), which resulted in different levels of impurity elements and inclusion characteristics. The inclusions that precipitated in different HEA samples were investigated through an electrolytic extraction process and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) characterization. The results showed that Mn(S,Se) inclusions were presented in all three alloys. MnCr2O4 inclusions were presented only in Ar-HEA, pure Al2O3 inclusions were presented in Cr-HEA and Al-HEA, and Mn–Cr–Al–O inclusions were also found in Al-HEA. Thermodynamic calculation software FactSage and Thermo-calc were used to predict the inclusion formations of the HEAs, which showed a good agreement with the experimental findings. The stable inclusions can transform from MnCr2O4 to Mn(Cr,Al)2O4 and then to pure Al2O3 with the increase of Al content. The inclusions in Al-containing HEA are spinel or Al2O3 depending on the content levels of Al and O. It is proposed that the formation of spinel and Al2O3 inclusions can be avoided in liquid HEA when the O content is controlled to be very low, which can result in smaller-sized inclusions. Moreover, the calculated coagulation coefficient of spinel inclusions is close but lower than that of Al2O3 inclusions. The collision growth of inclusions was affected by a combination of physical parameters of HEA and inclusions as well as the inclusion size and amount.

Orientierungen von Physiklehrkräften zur Rolle von Technik und Verantwortung im Physikunterricht
Authors: Bub Frederik , Rabe Thorid 
Published: April 2023

ZusammenfassungPhysik ist auf vielfältige Weise verknüpft mit technischer Entwicklung, gesellschaftlichen Implikationen und ethischen Fragen von Verantwortung. Ein Verständnis dieser Beziehungen als zentrales Element von Socioscientific Issues, Nature of Science, Bewertungskompetenz und von Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung ist von hoher fachdidaktischer Relevanz. In der vorgestellten Studie werden handlungsleitende, implizite Orientierungen von Lehrpersonen zu der Trias Physik-Technik-Verantwortung rekonstruiert. Dazu wurden Interviews mit 14 Physiklehrkräften mit Hilfe der Dokumentarischen Methode ausgewertet. Eine mehrdimensionale Typologie aus grundlegenden und aus fachbezogenen Orientierungen mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Reichweiten wird als sinnvolle fachdidaktische Weiterentwicklung der Dokumentarischen Methode konzipiert. Die rekonstruierten grundlegenden Orientierungen sind in drei Typiken systematisiert: das eigene Gestaltungspotential, die Konstruktion der relevanten Anderen und die Bewertung individueller und gesellschaftlicher Entwicklung. Die rekonstruierte fachbezogene Typik bildet ab, welches spezifische Weltverhältnis die Lehrkräfte konstruieren, welches Bildungsideal sie anstreben und wie dieses unterrichtlich realisiert werden kann. Der Typus Universalist*in z. B. orientiert sich optimistisch an einem emanzipatorischen Ideal des Physikunterrichts, zeigt systemkritische Züge und betont gesamtgesellschaftliche, globale Zusammenhänge. In der Analyse wird dieser mit den weiteren Typen Erklärer*in, Praktiker*in und Fatalist*in kontrastiert. Der Beitrag stellt die Typologie an vier Eckfällen dar und diskutiert fachdidaktische Implikationen im Hinblick auf die Rolle der Trias Physik-Technik-Verantwortung im Unterricht.
Electromagnetic Steklov eigenvalues: existence and distribution in the self-adjoint case
Authors: Halla Martin 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIn previous works, it was suggested to use Steklov eigenvalues for Maxwell equations as target signature for nondestructive testing, and it was recognized that this eigenvalue problem cannot be reformulated as a standard eigenvalue problem for a compact operator. Consequently, a modified eigenvalue problem with the desired properties was proposed. We report that apart for a countable set of particular frequencies, the spectrum of the original self-adjoint eigenvalue problem consists of three disjoint parts: The essential spectrum consisting of the origin, an infinite sequence of positive eigenvalues which accumulate only at infinity and an infinite sequence of negative eigenvalues which accumulate only at zero. The analysis is based on a suitable topological decomposition, a representation of the operator as block operator and Schur-factorizations. For each Schur-complement, the existence of an infinite sequence of eigenvalues is proven via an intermediate value technique. The modified eigenvalue problem arises as limit of one Schur-complement.

AbstractInternet of Things (IoT) vision has astoundingly transcended environmental sensing with integrated computing systems and smart devices, providing seamless connectivity among humans, machines, and their environment to cooperate for convenience and economical benefits. Apart from all the tremendous benefits of IoT, this paradigm still suffers from challenges of security and privacy vulnerabilities and demands a secure system for effective utilization of services in real-world IoT scenarios relying on which the IoT consumers expect secure and trustworthy communications. Trust Management (TM), which is a crucial aspect of security, plays a vital role in ensuring the exchange of information in a secure manner and maintaining the reliability of a system by measuring the degree of trust on IoT devices, reducing the uncertainties and risks involved in the systems. Thus, in recent years, Blockchain technology has been utilized for developing security innovations in TM field for different classes of IoT applications. It can provide tamper-proof data by enabling more reliable trust information and integrity verification, ultimately enhancing its availability and privacy when storing and sharing information. This paper provides a comprehensive survey that aims at analyzing and assessing Blockchain-based decentralized trust management systems (BCDTMS) for IoT. The contributions of this study are threefold; first, we provide the comprehensive and comparative analysis of state-of-the-art BCDTMS devised for different IoT classes such as Internet of Medical of Things (IoMT), Internet of Vehicles (IoV), Industrial IoT (IIoT), and Social IoT (SIoT). To make it an extensive study, we perform a detailed assessment of the existing BCDTMS in the literature in the aspects of Blockchain and TM. Second, we present requirements for developing Blockchain-based TM systems for IoT, and third we have highlighted the challenges in the context of using Blockchain for TM in various IoT applications.
Hommes de mauvaise réputation
Authors: Fossier Arnaud 
Published: April 2023

RésuméÀ partir de l’étude d’une douzaine de procès conservés dans les registres de l’évêque de Pistoia à la fin du xiiie siècle, cet article propose d’interroger la frontière entre deux phénomènes majeurs de l’économie prémoderne : le crédit et l’usure. Ce ne sont pas tant les modalités pratiques du prêt d’argent qui différenciaient l’une de l’autre – même si le taux d’intérêt jouait un rôle dans la définition judiciaire de l’usure – que la diffamation de l’usurier. La fama, entendue comme l’opinion collective recueillie par le juge, visait en effet à établir la réputation d’« usurier public » de l’accusé, et il n’est d’ailleurs pas impossible que ces procès se soient inscrits dans des jeux de factions locaux. Mais, il faut bien reconnaître que la majorité visaient d’abord à obtenir la restitution des sommes extorquées par les usuriers. Quant à l’Église, on peut se demander si, plutôt que de condamner de façon claire et univoque l’usure (freinant ainsi supposément l’avènement du capitalisme), elle n’a pas tenté d’instituer le marché en discriminant les honnêtes banquiers des mauvais prêteurs et en tâchant de maintenir son contrôle sur l’espace public face à l’emprise grandissante des pouvoirs communaux.

Abstract

Objective:
Data are scarce regarding hospital infection control committees and compliance with infection prevention and control (IPC) recommendations in Brazil, a country of continental dimensions. We assessed the main characteristics of infection control committees (ICCs) on healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in Brazilian hospitals.

Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted in ICCs of public and private hospitals distributed across all Brazilian regions. Data were collected directly from the ICC staff by completing an online questionnaire and during on-site visits through face-to-face interviews.

Results:
In total, 53 Brazilian hospitals were evaluated from October 2019 to December 2020. All hospitals had implemented the IPC core components in their programs. All centers had protocols for the prevention and control of ventilator-associated pneumonia as well as bloodstream, surgical site, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Most hospitals (80%) had no budget specifically allocated to the IPC program; 34% of the laundry staff had received specific IPC training; and only 7.5% of hospitals reported occupational infections in healthcare workers.

Conclusions:
In this sample, most ICCs complied with the minimum requirements for IPC programs. The main limitation regarding ICCs was the lack of financial support. The findings of this survey support the development of strategic plans to improve IPCs in Brazilian hospitals.
World Health Organization AWaRe framework for antibiotic stewardship: Where are we now and where do we need to go? An expert viewpoint
Authors: Mudenda Steward , Daka Victor , Matafwali Scott K. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The AWaRe classification categorizes antibiotics and is a tool for antimicrobial stewardship. To combat antimicrobial resistance, prescribers must adhere to the AWaRe framework, which promotes the rational use of antibiotics. Therefore, increasing political will, dedicating resources, building capacity, and improving awareness and sensitization campaigns may promote adherence to the framework.
Mixing time bounds for edge flipping on regular graphs
Authors: Demirci Yunus Emre , Işlak Ümit , Özdemir Alperen 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAn edge flipping is a non-reversible Markov chain on a given connected graph, as defined in Chung and Graham (2012). In the same paper, edge flipping eigenvalues and stationary distributions for some classes of graphs were identified. We further study edge flipping spectral properties to show a lower bound for the rate of convergence in the case of regular graphs. Moreover, we show by a coupling argument that a cutoff occurs at
$\frac{1}{4} n \log n$
for the edge flipping on the complete graph.
African Literatures in the Portuguese Language: Singularities
Authors: Can Nazir Ahmed 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis article reflects on some textual and institutional elements that distinguish literary life in Portuguese-speaking African countries. These elements concern, firstly, the peculiarities of the Portuguese empire. Combining precarity, epistemological backwardness, and violence in equal proportion, it inspired an artistic response that was consolidated even before the independences. Secondly, they relate to the type of decolonization produced in these territories. Contrary to the majority of other African contexts, their independence was not negotiated, but conquered through armed struggle. Thirdly, there are the thematic and formal aspects: the “animal,” the “dead,” and an internationalist geographical imaginary play a structuring role in the literary fields. Thus, this article demonstrates how these contexts, unique to African literatures, can also offer new data for the analysis of cultural goods in the twenty-first century.
La géométrisation de l’être dansMatière et mémoirede Bergson
Authors: Miravete Sébastien 
Published: April 2023

RésuméQuel statut donner aux calculs et surtout aux figures proposées par Henri Bergson pour expliquer le fonctionnement de la reconnaissance dansMatière et mémoire? Ce travail suggère que ces calculs et ces figures ne sont pas que des métaphores commodes ; la réalité n'est pas dépourvue d'un certainnombred’éléments et degrandeursplus ou moins importantes. Il semble donc possible de supposer qu'après avoir arithmétisé les faits de conscience à l'aide de nombres spéciaux (dans l’Essai), Bergson géométrise l’être spirituel et matériel (dansMatière et mémoire).
Can we better advise our patients with nodular thyroid disease?
Authors: Busby Orla , McArthur Claire , Wright Sylvia , Hilmi Omar 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe 2014 British Thyroid Association guidelines acknowledged the value of risk-stratifying thyroid nodules by utilising an ultrasound reporting system (‘U’ classification). This study assessed whether using pre-existing parameters in combination can better stratify patients’ malignancy and completion thyroidectomy risks.MethodA multicentre, retrospective, observational review identified 936 NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde patients from pathology records who underwent hemithyroidectomy between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2019.ResultsA total of 308 patients had thyroid malignancy, 180 (58.4 per cent) progressed to completion thyroidectomy. A nodule classified as ‘U3’ (indeterminate) was associated with a 35.4 per cent chance of malignancy and a 21.6 per cent risk of requiring completion surgery. Amalgamation of ‘U’ score with Thy score enhanced risk prediction. The malignancy rate in U3, Thy-3f nodules was 38 per cent, and 21 per cent required completion surgery. The malignancy and completion thyroidectomy rates were comparatively lower for U3, Thy-3a nodules (22 per cent and 14.3 per cent, respectively).ConclusionCombining ultrasound ‘U’ score and Thy score improves pre-operative thyroid nodule risk stratification, leading to better informed patients regarding the risks of malignancy and completion surgery. A move towards an integrated assessment approach should be considered.
Pre-habilitation with intratympanic gentamicin in vestibular schwannomas: a systematic review
Authors: Potdar T , Kontorinis G 
Published: April 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo assess whether pre-habilitation with intratympanic gentamicin can accelerate vestibular compensation following vestibular schwannoma resection.MethodsSeventeen studies were retrieved from the databases Medline, PubMed, Frontiers, Cochrane Library, Cambridge Core and ScienceDirect. Eight of the 17 studies met our criteria; the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used. Heterogeneity, risk of bias and effect on post-operative recovery were assessed.ResultsFour of the eight studies showed a statistically positive effect of pre-habilitation with gentamicin on the post-operative recovery process; the remainder also reported benefits, although not statistically significant. No study reported negative effects. Limitations were linked mostly to the limited number of enrolled patients and the outcome assessment methods.ConclusionFifty per cent of the studies found a statistically positive effect of pre-habilitation with gentamicin prior to vestibular schwannoma resection. While the results are promising, due to the limited numbers further prospective studies are required to strengthen the evidence.
Is clinical decision making in stepped-care psychological services influenced by heuristics and biases?
Authors: Michael Benjamin , Kellett Stephen , Delgadillo Jaime 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBackground:The manner in which heuristics and biases influence clinical decision-making has not been fully investigated and the methods previously used have been rudimentary.Aims:Two studies were conducted to design and test a trial-based methodology to assess the influence of heuristics and biases; specifically, with a focus on how practitioners make decisions about suitability for therapy, treatment fidelity and treatment continuation in psychological services.Method:Study 1 (N=12) used a qualitative design to develop two clinical vignette-based tasks that had the aim of triggering heuristics and biases during clinical decision making. Study 2 (N=133) then used a randomized crossover experimental design and involved psychological wellbeing practitioners (PWPs) working in the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme in England. Vignettes evoked heuristics (anchoring and halo effects) and biased responses away from normative decisions. Participants completed validated measures of decision-making style. The two decision-making tasks from the vignettes yielded a clinical decision score (CDS; higher scores being more consistent with normative/unbiased decisions).Results:Experimental manipulations used to evoke heuristics did not significantly bias CDS. Decision-making style was not consistently associated with CDS. Clinical decisions were generally normative, although with some variability.Conclusions:Clinical decision-making can be ‘noisy’ (i.e. variable across practitioners and occasions), but there was little evidence that this variability was systematically influenced by anchoring and halo effects in a stepped-care context.
