Boundary effects on wave trains in the Exner model of sedimental transport
Authors: Macca E. , Russo G. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this work we compute the numerical solution of the Exner model of sedimentation when a train of waves is imposed at the inflow boundary (E. Macca in Shock-Capturing methods: Well-Balanced Approximate Taylor and Semi-Implicit schemes. PhD thesis, Universit‘a degli Studi di Palermo, Palermo, (2022) and Major Revision, (2023)). The numerical solver is a second order finite-volume scheme, with semi-implicit time discretization based on Implicit-Explicit (IMEX) schemes, which guarantees better stability properties than explicit ones, still at a lower cost than fully implicit schemes. We show the effect of spurious reflected waves generated at the outflow edge of the computational domain, propose two remedies, and show how such spurious effects can be reduced by suitable non-reflecting boundary conditions.

Published: September 2023

AbstractWith the need for psychological help long exceeding the supply, finding ways of scaling, and better allocating mental health support is a necessity. This paper contributes by investigating how to best predict intervention dropout and failure to allow for a need-based adaptation of treatment. We systematically compare the predictive power of different text representation methods (metadata, TF-IDF, sentiment and topic analysis, and word embeddings) in combination with supplementary numerical inputs (socio-demographic, evaluation, and closed-question data). Additionally, we address the research gap of which ML model types — ranging from linear to sophisticated deep learning models — are best suited for different features and outcome variables. To this end, we analyze nearly 16.000 open-text answers from 849 German-speaking users in a Digital Mental Health Intervention (DMHI) for stress. Our research proves that — contrary to previous findings — there is great promise in using neural network approaches on DMHI text data. We propose a task-specific LSTM-based model architecture to tackle the challenge of long input sequences and thereby demonstrate the potential of word embeddings (AUC scores of up to 0.7) for predictions in DMHIs. Despite the relatively small data set, sequential deep learning models, on average, outperform simpler features such as metadata and bag-of-words approaches when predicting dropout. The conclusion is that user-generated text of the first two sessions carries predictive power regarding patients’ dropout and intervention failure risk. Furthermore, the match between the sophistication of features and models needs to be closely considered to optimize results, and additional non-text features increase prediction results.
Atomic-scale mechanism of effect of co-separation of elements at interface of ferrite and austenite on Cr-depleted zone of duplex stainless steel
Authors: Hou Yan-hui , Xu Ze-kun , Zhou Shi-long , Li Guang-qiang 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThree-dimensional atom-probe tomography and first-principles calculation combined with density functional theory were used to study the effect of the co-segregation of different elements formed during the solidification process of S32205 duplex stainless steel on the Cr-depleted zone at the interface between ferrite and austenite. It was found that the co-segregation of different elements formed during the solidification process of duplex stainless steel can also form Cr-depleted zone at the interface between ferrite and austenite. Moreover, Mo, Si, B, C and P atoms promote co-segregation with Cr atoms, which promotes the formation of Cr-depleted zone at the interface between ferrite and austenite in duplex stainless steel. Mo and Si strongly promote the segregation of Cr at the interface between ferrite and austenite, thereby promoting the formation of Cr-depleted zone. B, C and P elements also promote the segregation of Cr element at the interface between ferrite and austenite and the formation of Cr-depleted zone, but their effect is weaker than that of Mo and Si elements. These conclusions provide a new theoretical basis for improving the intergranular corrosion performance of duplex stainless steel.
Prediction of Aircraft Arrival Runway Occupancy Time Based on Machine Learning
Authors: Gao Haoran , Xie Yubing , Yuan Changjiang , He Xin , Niu Tiantian 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWake re-categorization (RECAT) has been implemented to improve runway capacity, and consequently, aircraft arrival runway occupancy time has become a crucial factor influencing runway capacity. Accurate prediction of the runway occupancy time can assist controllers in determining aircraft separation, thereby enhancing the operational efficiency of the runway. In this study, the GA–PSO algorithm is utilized to optimize the Back Propagation neural network prediction model using Quick access recorder data from various domestic airports, achieving high-precision prediction. Additionally, the SHapley Additive explanation model is applied to quantify the effect of each characteristic parameter on the arrival runway occupancy time, resulting in the prediction of aircraft arrival runway occupancy time. This model can provide a foundation for improving runway operation efficiency and technical support for the design of airport runway and taxiway structure.
Measures of spatial planning in the port areas at China’s border
Authors: Wen Xiaoyi , Lyu Zhengyin , Liu Tingting 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe spatial planning for border port areas often requires consideration to the influence of cross-border bilateral exchanges and cross-border natural habitat ecosystems on territorial spaces, and implementation of national initiatives such as the “Community with a Shared Future” and the “Belt and Road Initiative”. The existing research on spatial planning focuses more on the administrative areas within a country and less on the cross-border regional connections. Also, existing literature regarding border port areas as typological research focuses more on economic and spatial development modes and less on the influence of ‘networks and flow’ on the territorial spaces. The author, based on the work practices in the land border areas in Yunnan and Jilin provinces as well as combining the theoretical concept ‘network and flow’ of Michael Batty, describes the features of cross-border flow network by use of border effect framework, researches the key considerations for the spatial planning for cross-border areas in the new era of spatial planning system construction, and initially provides optimization measures exampled by specific cases, which can be used as reference for the spatial planning for cross-border areas at all levels.
Turning Over a New Leaf: Experimental Investigations into the Role of Developmental Plasticity in the Domestication of Goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri) in Eastern North America
Authors: Belcher Megan E. , Williams Daniel , Mueller Natalie G. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn eastern North America, Indigenous peoples domesticated several crops that are now extinct. We present experimental data that alters our understanding of the domestication of one of these—goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri). Ancient domesticated goosefoot has been recognized on the basis of seed morphology, especially a decrease in the thickness of the seed coat (testa). Nondomesticated goosefoot also sometimes produces seeds that look similar or even identical to domesticated ones, but researchers believed that such seeds were rare (1%–3%). We conducted a common garden experiment and a series of carbonization experiments to better understand the determinants of seed polymorphism in archaeobotanical assemblages. We found that goosefoot produces much higher percentages of thin-testa seeds (mean 50% in our experiment, 15%–34% in free-living parent populations) than previously reported. We also found that cultivated plants produce more thin-testa seeds than their free-living parents, demonstrating that this trait is plastic in response to a garden environment. The carbonization experiments suggest that thin-testa seeds preserve under a larger window of conditions than thick-testa seeds, contrary to our expectations. These results suggest that (1) carbonized, phenotypically mixed assemblages should be interpreted cautiously, and (2) developmental plasticity and genetic assimilation played a role in the domestication of goosefoot.

JULIAN THE APOSTATE AND THE ΠΙΣΤΙΣ OF ABRAHAM
Authors: Boswell Brad 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn his brief comments on the Abraham-episodes of Genesis 15:1–11, Emperor Julian the Apostate indirectly attacks the apostle Paul's interpretation that Abraham exhibited πίστις as a justifying ‘faith’. Through a close reading of the biblical text, he interprets Abraham as, rather, receiving a divine πίστις—a ‘pledge’ or ‘confirming sign’—during two theurgical rituals. Although modern scholars have overlooked Julian's subtle argument, Cyril of Alexandria recognized Julian's strategy and responded directly. Attention to Julian's and Cyril's competing accounts shows that different conceptual grammars, tied to rival traditional narratives, lay behind their incompatible claims to Abraham and his πίστις.
A study of the effect of number of children on depression among rural older women: empirical evidence from China

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe association between early reproductive events and health status in later life has always been of interest across disciplines. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there was an association between the number of children born in the early years of elderly women and their depression in later life based on a sample of older women aged 65 years and above with at least one child in rural China. Data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey in 2018, this study used the ordinary least square method to conduct empirical research. This study has found a significant correlation between an increase in the number of children and depression in older rural women. When considering the sex of the child, the number of daughters had a greater and more significant impact on depression. Number of children may exacerbate depression of older women through declining self-rated health and reduced social activity, while increased inter-generational support alleviated depression. The association between number of children born and depression also existed in urban older women, though not significant. Therefore, it is suggested to accelerate the improvement of supporting policies related to childbirth, developing a healthy and scientific fertility culture, and improving rural maternal and child health services. Women should be assisted in balancing their roles in the family and in society, and in particular in sharing the burden of caring for children. Targeted efforts to increase old-age protection for older people.
Long-Run Labor Costs of Housing Booms and Busts
Authors: Begley Taylor , Haslag Peter , Weagley Daniel 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWe show large flows of workers into the real estate agent (REA) occupation during the early 2000s from virtually all parts of the skill, wage, and education spectrums. We find those entering REA in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) with house price bubbles end up in occupations paying significantly less in the long-run as compared to similar REA entrants in non-bubble areas. Even in 2017, when house prices and employment return to their pre-crisis levels, REA entrants in Bubble MSAs are in occupations earning about 6% less. These results point to lasting effects of labor allocation decisions in response to distorted price signals.
Choosing Investment Managers
Authors: Goyal Amit , Wahal Sunil , Yavuz M. D. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractInvestment managers connected to plans sponsors are more likely to be hired than not-connected managers. The magnitude of the selection effect is comparable to that of prior performance. Ex post, connections do not result in higher post-hiring returns. Relationships are thus conducive to asset gathering by investment managers but do not generate commensurate pecuniary benefits for plan sponsors.
The Nexus between Protest and Electoral Participation: Explaining Chile's Exceptionalism
Authors: Medel Rodrigo M. , Somma Nicolás M. , Donoso Sofía 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe literature on political participation has consistently found that protest positively and significantly correlates with voting. However, Chile can be considered a deviant case to this pattern. During the last decade, Chileans who participated in street demonstrations were unlikely to participate in elections. What explains this anomaly? We argue that this rupture between participation in protest and in elections results from an effective distancing between social-movement organisations (SMOs) and institutional politics. However, this distancing of SMOs from party politics has not been homogeneous. To examine this heterogeneity, we conduct a comparative design of two cases: the labour and student movements. Based on a mixed-methods study that combines interviews with movement leaders and surveys of protest participants in marches, we seek to highlight the mediating role of SMOs in the promotion of different forms of political participation.
Apocalypticism and imperial criticism: (re)reading the Dürr-i meknūn (The Hidden Pearl, 1472–73) in the context of Ottoman–Akkoyunlu imperial confrontation
Authors: Turan Ebru 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe Dürr-i meknūn (The Hidden Pearl) is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic works of fifteenth-century Ottoman literature. It consists of a digest of Islamic cosmology and cosmography engaging with a wide array of subjects, beginning with the Creation and concluding with the Last Judgement. The Dürr-i meknūn has long been attributed to the mystic and scholar Ahmed Bīcān and has accordingly been dated to between 1453 and 1466. However, building on the most recent research, which shows that Ahmed Bīcān could not possibly have penned the Dürr and that the text is in fact anonymous, this article provides a critical reading and new dating of the text by focusing on the apocalyptic prophecies found in Chapter 16. Using a novel methodology that integrates contextual and historical reading, with computations of Arabic gematria, my analysis demonstrates that the Dürr was composed in 1472–73, in anticipation of the Ottoman–Akkoyunlu confrontation at the Battle of Başkent, when fears were running high that the end of Ottoman rule was at hand.
Waiting to Die? Old Age in the Late Imperial Russian Village
Authors: Badcock Sarah 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWhat was daily life like for old people in Russian villages at the turn of the twentieth century? Elderly people feature as an integral part of Russian rural family life in literary and in scholarly accounts, and are predominantly framed as able, skilled, omniscient community members. This article suggests that constructions of old age that see the elderly retaining physical prowess and community leadership overlook the lived realities of ageing. As elderly people lost physical and mental capacity, they slipped out of view in the Russian village, desexed, unseen and unremarked. The experience of the frail elderly allows us to explore the values accorded individuals within rural communities, and the extent to which families, communities and legal structures could and did intervene in the private sphere.
On the combined imperfect repair process
Authors: Cha Ji Hwan , Finkelstein Maxim 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this paper, a new point process is introduced. It combines the nonhomogeneous Poisson process with the generalized Polya process (GPP) studied in recent literature. In reliability interpretation, each event (failure) from this process is minimally repaired with a given probability and GPP-repaired with the complementary probability. Characterization of the new process via the corresponding bivariate point process is presented. The mean numbers of events for marginal processes are obtained via the corresponding rates, which are used for considering an optimal replacement problem as an application.
Registered Practical Nurses’ Experiences of the Moral Habitability of Long-Term Care Environments during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Peter Elizabeth , Mohammed Shan , Boakye Priscilla , Rose Donald , Killackey Tieghan 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a deleterious impact on the lives of nurses who work in long-term care; however, the moral conditions of their work have been largely unexamined. The purpose of this qualitative study, therefore, was to explore registered practical nurses’ (RPNs) experiences of the moral habitability of long-term care environments in Ontario, Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Four themes were identified: (1) Striving to meet responsibilities in a failed system; (2) bearing the moral and emotional weight of residents’ isolation and dying in a context of strict public health measures; (3) knowing the realities of the work, yet failing to be heard, recognized, or supported by management; and (4) struggling to find a means of preservation for themselves and the profession. Attention to the moral habitability of RPNs’ work environments is necessary to achieve a high-quality, ethically attuned, and sustainable nursing workforce in long-term care.

Abstract
Acute pyelonephritis (AP) epidemiology has been sparsely described. This study aimed to describe the evolution of AP patients hospitalised in France and identify the factors associated with urinary diversion and fatality, in a cross-sectional study over the 2014–2019 period. Adult patients hospitalised for AP were selected by algorithms of ICD-10 codes (PPV 90.1%) and urinary diversion procedure codes (PPV 100%). 527,671 AP patients were included (76.5% female: mean age 66.1, 48.0% Escherichia coli), with 5.9% of hospital deaths. In 2019, the AP incidence was 19.2/10,000, slightly increasing over the period (17.3/10,000 in 2014). 69,313 urinary diversions (13.1%) were performed (fatality rate 6.7%), mainly in males, increasing over the period (11.7% to 14.9%). Urolithiasis (OR [95% CI] =33.1 [32.3–34.0]), sepsis (1.73 [1.69–1.77]) and a Charlson index ≥3 (1.32 [1.29–1.35]) were significantly associated with urinary diversion, whereas E. coli (0.75 [0.74–0.77]) was less likely associated. The same factors were significantly associated with fatality, plus old age and cancer (2.38 [2.32–2.45]). This nationwide study showed an increase in urolithiasis and identified, for the first time, factors associated with urinary diversion in AP along with death risk factors, which may aid urologists in clinical decision-making.
Tau Prolog: A Prolog Interpreter for the Web
Authors: RIAZA JOSÉ A. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractTau Prolog is a client-side Prolog interpreter fully implemented in JavaScript, which aims at implementing the ISO Prolog Standard. Tau Prolog has been developed to be used with either Node.js or a browser seamlessly, and therefore, it has been developed following a non-blocking, callback-based approach to avoid blocking web browsers. Taking the best from JavaScript and Prolog, Tau Prolog allows the programmer to handle browser events and manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) of a web using Prolog predicates. In this paper we describe the architecture of Tau Prolog and its main packages for interacting with the Web, and we present its programming environment.
Entwicklung eines Fragebogens zur ökonomischen Erfassung technikbezogener Einstellungen und Selbstwahrnehmungen
Authors: Hahnel Carolin , Stemmann Jennifer 
Published: September 2023

Zusammenfassung: Der Beitrag präsentiert die Entwicklung einer Kurzskala zur Erfassung technikbezogener Einstellungen sowie Selbstwahrnehmungen im Kontext der Nutzung von Alltagstechnik. Zur Validierung der Interpretation der resultierenden Testwerte wurden die interne Struktur der Skala, Beziehungen zu Drittvariablen sowie die Annahme geprüft, dass diese Facetten die Performanz im Umgang mit alltagstechnischen Geräten erklären. Zur Untersuchung wurden Daten von 296 Studierenden (71 % weiblich, M = 23.1 Jahre) ausgewertet. CFA-Analysen unterstützen die angenommene fünffaktorielle Struktur (d. h. eine Facette der allgemeinen Einstellung gegenüber Technik, zwei Facetten der kognitiven und zwei Facetten der affektiven Selbstwahrnehmung). Kognitive Selbstwahrnehmungen und positive Affekte gegenüber technischen Geräten hingen positiv mit allgemeinen Selbstwirksamkeitserwartungen, Intelligenz und einer höheren Performanz im Umgang mit Alltagstechnik zusammen. Negative Affekte gegenüber Technik waren wahrscheinlicher bei Personen mit niedrigeren allgemeinen Selbstwirksamkeitserwartungen, ausgeprägteren externen Kontrollüberzeugungen, geringerer Intelligenz und geringeren Fähigkeiten im Umgang mit Alltagsgeräten. Die Ergebnisse stützen die intendierten Testwertinterpretationen teilweise und zeigen konkrete Weiterentwicklungsbedarfe des Instruments auf.
A New Technique for Resolving Benthic Solute Fluxes: Evaluation of Conditional Sampling Using Aquatic Relaxed Eddy Accumulation

AbstractSolute exchange between the sediment and the water column strongly influences water quality in aquatic ecosystems. Among the techniques available for in situ observation, only aquatic eddy covariance (AEC) can resolve the hourly dynamics of benthic fluxes, but only for few substances like oxygen. In micrometeorology, relaxed eddy accumulation (REA), a technique based on high‐frequency sampling conditioned by current direction, overcomes this limitation. We developed a portable prototype instrumentation platform to transfer REA to the sediment‐water interface of shallow aquatic ecosystems. In order to evaluate the sampling system, we configured the prototype for measuring oxygen fluxes and comparing them to simultaneous AEC measurements. In a river and two artificial lakes, at depths 1–3 m and 0.2 m above the sediment, we measured 15 oxygen flux pairs in fully developed turbulence during 8–15 min periods, ranging from −150 to 50 mmol m−2 day−1. The good agreement between REA and AEC fluxes (R2 = 0.94) shows the reliability of the conditional sampling system. REA represents a promising technique for exploring the sediment contribution to biogeochemical cycles in aquatic ecosystems.
