Application of the Global Reporting Initiative Standards and Sustainability Disclosure Performance: An Analysis of the Largest Chinese Companies Listed in Hong Kong
Authors: Choy Lai Yee 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In the wake of rising demand for corporate social responsibility, international organizations have been set up for establishing sustainability reporting standards. The standards issued by the global reporting initiative (‘GRI’) have become the most prevalently referred to sustainability reporting standards across the globe. Even though some research studies have investigated the impact of applying the GRI Standards on sustainability reporting performance, few studies have focused on companies listed in Hong Kong, an international financial center. The purpose of this article is to examine the extent to which Hong Kong-listed companies have applied the GRI Standards and how such practice has affected their sustainability disclosure quality. As an introductory study on this subject in Hong Kong, the current research focuses on the 100 largest Hong Kong-listed Chinese companies. This study shows that the rate of applying the GRI Standards among the sample companies has fluctuated in a narrow range over the past five years, and the sustainability reporting performance of companies which apply the GRI Standards outperformed their peers not applying the GRI Standards. Furthermore, the results indicate that government ownership and industry have an impact on the sample companies’ preference for referring to the GRI Standards.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Amphid wing “C” (AWC) neurons are among the most important and studied neurons of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In this work, we unify the existing electrical and intracellular calcium dynamics descriptions to obtain a biophysically accurate model of olfactory transduction in AWCON neurons. We study the membrane voltage and the intracellular calcium dynamics at different exposure times and odorant concentrations to grasp a complete picture of AWCON functioning. Moreover, we investigate the complex cascade of biochemical processes that allow AWC activation upon odor removal. We analyze the behavior of the different components of the models and, by suppressing them selectively, we extrapolate their contribution to the overall neuron response and study the resilience of the dynamical system. Our results are all in agreement with the available experimental data. Therefore, we provide an accurate mathematical and biophysical model for studying olfactory signal processing in C. elegans.
DUX: a dataset of user interactions and user emotions
Authors: Leppich Dominick , Bieber Carina , Proschek Katrin , Harms Patrick , Schubert Ulf 
Published: August 2023

AbstractUser experience evaluation is becoming increasingly important, and so is emotion recognition. Recognizing users’ emotions based on their interactions alone would not be intrusive to users and can be implemented in many applications. This is still an area of active research and requires data containing both the user interactions and the corresponding emotions. Currently, there is no public dataset for emotion recognition from keystroke, mouse and touchscreen dynamics. We have created such a dataset for keyboard and mouse interactions through a dedicated user study and made it publicly available for other researchers. This paper examines our study design and the process of creating the dataset. We conducted the study using a test application for travel expense reports with 50 participants. We want to be able to detect predominantly negative emotions, so we added emotional triggers to our test application. However, further research is needed to determine the relationship between user interactions and emotions.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
With the increase in consumers’ awareness of healthy diet, the development of green foods has become a significant research direction for the modern food industry. Umami peptides, derived from the hydrolysis of natural proteins, which possess nutritional and functional properties. However, protein hydrolysates face many problems, such as a low amount of effective umami peptides, insufficient umami intensity and poor stability. Therefore, the article introduced different pathways to enhance the intensity of umami peptides, and emphatically illustrated the protection and controlled release of these peptides through encapsulation transport systems, including the development of umami peptides, encapsulation materials, methods, quality standards, and their release mechanisms. The review can provide a valuable reference for the development of umami peptides into new flavorings, which aligns with the future trends in the flavoring industry.

Published: August 2023

Zusammenfassung
Soziale Interaktion vollzieht sich nicht nur im Alltag, sondern auch in spracherwerbsrelevanten sozialen Räumen wie zum Beispiel dem Fremd- bzw. Zweitsprachenunterricht. Die angewandte Sprachwissenschaft hat den Forschungsgegenstand soziale Interaktion im Rahmen des Begriffs Interaktionskompetenz verstärkt in direkten Bezug zu den Prozessen Lernen und Lehren gesetzt. Dies lenkte den Fokus noch stärker auf die Analyse von kontextspezifischen, interaktionalen Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten, die Sprachlernende im Rahmen des Lernprozesses in schulischen und außerschulischen Kontexten anwenden. Auch die Analyse unterrichtlicher Interaktion und deren aktiver Gestaltung durch Lehrkräfte erfährt derzeit eine Rekonzeptualisierung durch Forschung in der Interaktionalen Linguistik und der Konversationsanalyse. Innovative Angebote in der Sprachlehrer*innenbildung setzen verstärkt darauf, erfahrenen oder zukünftigen Lehrenden in DaFZ die Relevanz von ausgesuchten Themen in der Interaktionsforschung für die Praxis zu vermitteln. In diesem Gesamtkontext skizzieren wir den Themenkomplex Interaktionskompetenz fördern mit Hinblick auf seine vielschichtige Relevanz im Rahmen von DaFZ, die dann schlaglichtartig durch ausgesuchte Einzelbeiträge in diesem Themenheft illustriert wird.
Fachbezogene Diskurse von DaZ-Lernenden über Kunst: Unterstützung von fachlichem und sprachlich-diskursivem Lernen in dyadischen Settings vor Ort
Authors: Fohr Tanja 
Published: August 2023

Zusammenfassung
Sprachliches Handeln von DaZ-Lernenden und -Lehrenden in Interaktionssituationen an außerschulischen Lernorten wie dem Kunstmuseum ist gebunden an Situationen, in denen ein Bezug zum Gegenstand und dessen fachliche Merkmale die Vermittlung und somit die Diskurspraktiken bestimmen. Wie L2-Lernende die kommunikative Aufgabe der Erschließung von Kunstwerken angehen und wie Lehrkräfte die Interaktionskompetenz der Lernenden in diesem Zusammenhang fördern können, sind die leitenden Fragestellungen in diesem Beitrag.
Zur Beantwortung der Fragen wird auf die Ergebnisse einer explorativen Studie zu einem Kunst- und Kultur-Buddy-Programm, durchgeführt im Rahmen eines interdisziplinär angelegten Service-Learning-Projekts der Universität Kassel, zurückgegriffen.
Ziel des Projekts war es unter anderem, sich von konservativen und während der Pandemie nicht umsetzbaren Führungskonzepten für größere Gruppen abzuwenden und sprachsensible Angebote für Zweitsprachenlernende zu entwickeln, zu erproben und zu evaluieren. Die rekonstruktive Fallanalyse der Kunstkommunikation ermöglicht Rückschlüsse auf die epistemischen und damit verbundenen sprachlichen Schritte der Kunsterschließung und auf die Möglichkeiten des Scaffolding. Für die fachliche und linguistische Analyse der Diskurspraktiken wird ein ausgewähltes dyadisches Setting im Kunstmuseum analysiert.

Xenophon’s Memorabilia and Greek historiography. A comparative approach
Authors: Tamiolaki Melina 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This paper proposes a comparison between Xenophon’s Memorabilia and Greek historiography, with the aim of further illuminating Xenophon’s literary techniques. I pursue this comparison in two parts: in the first part, I deal with the verbs ἤκουσα (“I heard”), ὁρῶ (“I see”), and οἶδα (“I know”) and the expression δοκεῖ μοι (“it seems to me”), examining their uses in Xenophon and his most important historiographical predecessors respectively (Herodotus and Thucydides); in the second part, I turn to the section about Critias and Alcibiades (Mem. 1.2.12–48) and suggest some possible connections with Greek historiography. Throughout my analysis, I highlight both similarities and divergences between Xenophon’s techniques and certain historiographical methods and principles. I suggest that reading the Memorabilia in the light of Greek historiography enables a better evaluation of Xenophon’s literary techniques and that the manifold ways in which Xenophon evokes or differentiates himself from historiographical practices form part of an original apology.
Weight Loss and Sexual Activity in Adult Obese Individuals: Establishing a Causal Link
Authors: Tauchmann Harald , Wübker Ansgar 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Obesity may not only be linked to undesirable health outcomes but also to limitations in sexual life. The present paper aims to assess whether there is a causal relationship between weight loss and sexual activity in adult obese individuals. To address the endogeneity of weight loss that is likely to result in biased estimation results, the analysis is based on data from a randomized field experiment. In this experiment, financial weight-loss rewards were offered to a random subgroup of participants and can be used as an exogenous source of weight variation in an instrumental variables approach. Estimation results indicate that for obese males losing weight, both the probability of being involved in a sexual relationship and the frequency of sexual intercourse increases. The same pattern of results is found when pooling both sexes in the sample. Due to the small share of women in the sample, the analysis yields no reliable results specifically for females.

Authors: Spraktes Faith , McEntire David A 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The following article examines the cascading effects that took place from February 11–20, 2021, through the perspectives of emergency managers, FEMA employees, and others who responded to “The Texas Freeze.” The research discusses the literature on cascading disasters as well as the methodology that was utilized to conduct this study. It then examines the unique challenges experienced before and after the storm. In particular, the article explores the loss of power that subsequently resulted in the lack of water, the freezing of pipes, and flooding. In addition, it mentions other problems such as transportation and the provision of fuel as well as numerous consequences that posed considerable challenges for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and emergency managers. The article concludes with recommendations to strengthen infrastructure, mitigate winter storms, and increase planning and preparedness for complex disasters. The main point to be made is that far more consideration needs to be given to proactively understand and anticipate cascading disasters.
Effect of Ti3O5 addition on oxide evolution for HRB400
Authors: Li Hui , Cheng Xiang , Zhao Yu-hao , Kong Hui 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The transient evolution of oxide was studied after directly adding Ti3O5 powder into HRB400 steel. This experiment was carried out in magnesia crucible with vacuum induction furnace and the intermediate samples were taken at 1, 5, 10, and 15 min after Ti3O5 addition. At 20th min, the furnace was powered off to get furnace-cooled cast sample. For intermediate samples, it is found that with increasing treatment time, the titanium content increased though the acid–soluble aluminum content remained stable. Besides, the Ti-bearing oxides were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Moreover, statistical analysis indicated that for Ti-bearing oxide, both number density and titanium content after further normalization increased with increasing processing time. For cast sample, the characteristic of Ti-bearing oxide at different heights are similar. These results confirmed the adding valid of Ti3O5, which may be due to its decomposition. Finally, after heat treatment, these introduced Ti-bearing oxides can induce the intragranular ferrite nucleation. This indicates the effectiveness of external adding method in oxide metallurgy.

Ordinary Aesthetics and Ethics in the Haiku Poetry of Matsuo Bashō: A Wittgensteinian Perspective
Authors: Pignocchi Tomaso 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis article explores how the notion ofordinary aestheticscan stem, as well as the one ofordinary ethics, from thatrevolution of the ordinarystarted by Wittgenstein and further developed by philosophers like Cavell and Diamond. The idea ofordinary ethicsemphasizes the importance of everyday life and the particular details of our experiences. This concept can be extended to aesthetics, forming the basis of a modality of aesthetic appreciation that recognize values and importance in the details and nuances of everyday experience. One example of suchordinary aestheticscan be found in thehaikupoetry of Bashō. Bashō’s poetry often focuses on the ordinary and mundane aspects of life, such as the changing of seasons, the sound of rain, or the sight of a bird in flight, but also on that lower world made of insects, rotten foliage, and excrements. Bashō conveys in poetry the core ofZenphilosophy, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things and the value of living in the present moment. This approach to aesthetics offers an alternative to more traditional modes of aesthetic appreciation, which tend to prioritize grandeur, spectacle, and formal perfection. Ultimately, the concept of ordinary aesthetics invites us to find the intrinsic importance in the simple things that surround us and to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the richness of our everyday lives.
Study on aging mechanism of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt based on molecular dynamics
Authors: Shao Hu , Tang Jianya , He Wenzheng , Huang Shuang , Yu Tengjiang 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Component ratio change is considered to be the main reason leading to the deterioration of asphalt properties, but there are few studies on the aging mechanism from the perspective of modifier molecules. To reveal the aging mechanism of styrene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer (SBS)/styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) compound-modified asphalt, the micro mechanism in the aging process was studied by combining molecular dynamics (MD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). First, MD was used to establish the micro models of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt at different aging stages (non-aging, short-term aging, and long-term aging) and to verify its rationality. Second, the micro characteristics of the SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt micro model, such as solubility parameters, diffusion coefficient, interface interaction energy, and radial distribution function, were analyzed by calculation. Finally, the FTIR results proved the rationality of the simulation and explained the aging mechanism of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt. The results show that the cohesiveness density and solubility parameters of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt increase, the diffusion coefficient decreases, and the molecular interface stability increases during the aging process. And, the carbonyl index, sulfoxide index, and aromatic ring index increased in different degrees after aging. The study explains the aging mechanism of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt from the perspective of modifier molecules and provides a theoretical basis for the research of asphalt anti-aging.
A review on in-situ process analytical techniques for the thermochemical conversion of coal and biomass
Authors: Chen Jie , Wu Yongping , Xu Tao , Bhattacharya Sankar 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Coal and biomass are important feedstocks for carbon energy from thermochemical conversion process. Fully understanding the analytical technology that characterizes the changes in physicochemical properties and structural characteristics of coal and biomass during the thermochemical reactions is a key prerequisite for the realization of appropriate utilization of energy fuels. Modern in-situ process analysis technology can accomplish the in-situ detection of the experimental process, and therefore reflect the experimental process more accurately. Moreover, it is developing towards automation, intelligentization, and comprehensive detection. Based on the characteristics of each detection technology, this paper summarizes the basic principles, application scope and performance characteristics of the three advanced in-situ process analysis technologies: hyphenated technology, synchrotron radiation, and online analysis. The practicability and accuracy of each detection technology in coal and biomass research are compared and analyzed, and its latest application and development trend are elucidated. These tools not only make up for the shortcomings of traditional detection techniques in characterizing the in-situ reaction, but also provide complementary information on molecular microscopic changes during fuel thermal conversion. This review paper can provide insights for relevant researchers in the selection of analytical techniques, and promote in-depth study on microcosmic mechanism of fuel conversion.
Linearity test of triangular waveform generators
Authors: Alegria Francisco André Corrêa 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis paper presents a novel approach for accurately testing triangular waveform generators by leveraging the Ramp Vernier Test methodology commonly used for Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). The proposed procedure enables efficient measurement of the nonlinearity of a triangular waveform using a low-cost data acquisition board. The key idea is to utilize the waveform generator under test to produce the stimulus signal for the data acquisition system’s testing. By analyzing the results of this test, the nonlinearity of the acquisition system can be determined and subsequently corrected. This approach effectively eliminates the influence of the acquisition system’s nonlinearity on the estimation of the nonlinearity of the waveform generator, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Die inkrementelle Blechumformung wurde mit Laserpulverauftragsschweißen kombiniert, um schalenförmige Leichtbauteile mit Funktionselementen herzustellen. Die Verfahrenskombination lässt die Fertigung von leichten, funktionalisierten Bauteilen, ohne den Einsatz bauteilspezifischer Werkzeuge, bei effizientem Materialeinsatz erwarten. Es sind keine besonderen Strategien zur Anpassung der Substratoberfläche auf den additiven Fertigungsprozess erforderlich, und über eine segmentierte Baustrategie lässt sich der thermische Verzug des Substrats reduzieren.
