Equilibrium Identification and Selection in Finite Games
Authors: Crönert Tobias , Minner Stefan 
Published: December 2022

Decision-making under simultaneous competition Hardly any decision is made in isolation and most decision makers are dealing with fierce competition when trying to find the optimal decision for their problem. The expected outcome of such a competitive problem setting or the individually optimal course of action for each competitor is not evident. In a finite game, a finite set of decision makers simultaneously select their action from a finite set of strategies. In “Equilibrium identification and selection in finite games”, T. Crönert and S. Minner propose a solution approach enumerating all equilibria and selecting the most likely equilibrium in finite games. The approach is targeted toward large finite games that cannot be efficiently represented in normal form. They apply their algorithm to two- and three-player knapsack and facility location and design games. Their numerical experiments show that prior approaches identifying a single equilibrium can result in unlikely outcomes.

Authors: Nabugwere Robinah Sharon , Mbalinda Scovia Nalugo , Ayebare Elizabeth 
Published: December 2022

Background/Aims Danger signs are indicators of complications easily recognised by non-clinical personnel that may occur during pregnancy, childbirth or in the postpartum period. Some maternal deaths can be attributed to a lack of information about postnatal danger signs. Most studies on knowledge of danger signs have investigated groups of participants with mixed parities, meaning there is limited research on knowledge among first-time mothers. The aim of this study was to determine first-time mothers’ knowledge of postnatal danger signs and associated factors in Uganda. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that recruited 358 primigravidas. Data on knowledge of postnatal danger signs and the participants’ obstetric and sociodemographic factors were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to determine factors associated with knowledge of postnatal danger signs. Results Of the 358 participants, 63.4% could name at least one postnatal danger sign. Factors associated with knowledge of postnatal danger signs were having secondary or tertiary education (P=0.002), attending more than four antenatal care visits (P<0.001) and having access to information platforms (P<0.001). Conclusions There is insufficient knowledge of postnatal danger signs among first-time mothers at Tororo General Hospital. First-time mothers require health education as they lack experience and knowledge of danger signs. The use of media sources to convey health information should be strengthened in the healthcare system.
Independent Redistricting: An Insider’s View
Authors: Sadhwani Sara 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Coming out of the 2020 redistricting cycle, independent redistricting commissions are the clear winners, with most maps drawn by independent commissions being upheld against legal challenges, while other state maps face significant claims of vote dilution and partisan gerrymandering. While a growing literature debates the institutional designs of commissions and assess and compare their mapping outcomes, this article will offer a commissioner’s view of the process. Reflecting on my service on the 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission, I will argue that while independent commissions are not a magic bullet, they are the best option for redistricting that allows for transparency over backroom negotiations and can, hopefully, help restore some faith in our democratic institutions.
The spatial-temporal pattern evolution and influencing factors of county-scale tourism efficiency in Xinjiang, China
Authors: Yang Yiwan , Zhang Chunxiang , Qin Ziwei , Cui Yingyin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Scientific evaluation of the development efficiency of the regional tourism industry has important practical significance in promoting the high-quality development of the industry. This study calculated the county tourism efficiency and total factor productivity (TFP) for 86 counties and cities in Xinjiang, China, from 2011 to 2019 based on the SBM-data envelopment analysis model and the Malmquist productivity index model, which determines the respective temporal changes and spatial differences. The factors affecting the evolution of the spatial–temporal pattern of the tourism industry efficiency were also analyzed using the geographic detector model. The results show that: (1) The average tourism efficiency of Xinjiang county from 2011 to 2019 was at a low level of 0.382. During the study period, the evolution trend of the tourism efficiency fluctuated. There was a positive spatial autocorrelation in the tourism efficiency. The difference between cold and hot spots was evident by “hot-in-the-north and cold-in-the-South” characteristics. (2) The TFP maintained an upward trend during the research period, with an average annual growth rate of 28.7%. The number of counties and cities with an increased TFP was much higher than those with a decreased TFP, and its growth was mainly attributed to the progress of technical efficiency. (3) The county tourism efficiency was mainly affected by the level of economic development, tourism resource endowment, market scale, and government policies. There were large differences in the intensity and space among various influencing factors. During the research period, the influence of the economic development level and market scale gradually weakened, and the influence of tourism resource endowment and government policies continuously strengthened.
S3P– Innovative Surface Treatment to Increase the Wear Resistance of Stainless Steel Components*
Authors: Gerritsen S. , Bauer A. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Austenitic and duplex stainless steels are used in a variety of industries due to their high corrosion resistance. However, this is countered by a high coefficient of friction and thus a limited wear behaviour, which restricts the technical application possibilities. Coatings or conventional hardening processes, such as solution nitriding above 1000 °C, offer a certain reduction of these wear phenomena, but are associated with the risk of delamination and/or loss of corrosion properties. In addition, the hardening effect is limited for austenitic and duplex grades. The low temperature surface hardening process below 500 °C offers the possibility to overcome these limitations. In this article the technology of this process is explained. In addition, research results show the positive influence of this treatment on the lifetime of components made of corrosion resistant steels. As a future outlook, possible properties and applications for the prospective increasing number of hydrogen applications are explained.
Metrica – an application for collecting and navigating geodetic control network points. Part I: Motivation, assumptions, and issues

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The result of surveys largely depends on the accuracy and measurement technique of the control network. This research work presents the application Metrica, dedicated for collection and navigation of geodetic control network points. The main goal of this study is to present the motivation, methodology, and issues with analysis of the database of vertical control points. Such analysis covers south part of Poland territory for the update of the existing set of points of the vertical control network on an ongoing basis. The application has been developed with the use of a test database of points. The status of the points was checked by means of a multi-stage analysis. The prepared database of points was verified taking into account the criteria defined by the authors. In order to optimise the scoring analysis process, two groups of criteria were distinguished: independent of each other and those whose analysis was justified only under the condition of prior verification of other criteria. Based on the analysis of the collected data, the main conclusion was the ongoing need to update the data on the matrix points. It was found that information on points is often incomplete and inaccurate, especially in terms of their horizontal position, which often prevents efficient localisation of points. One of the most significant findings was that only 55.6% of the points available in the database were identified in the field. It should be noted that despite the analysis of the state of the matrix carried out in 2019 on behalf of the GUGiK, there are still many points about which information is not fully up-to-date. It is now possible to extend the application with new attributes and validation rules and conduct updates for several types of geodetic networks. Due to the extensive character of the discussed subject, the study has been divided into two parts. The continuation of this study is the second research work, which presents the development of a mobile application for the update of the geodetic control network. It will present in detail the procedures and IT application development processes.

Abstract
Analysis of spatiotemporal partitioning is pivotal to shed light on interspecific coexistence. Most research efforts have involved large-sized carnivores and their prey species, whereas little attention has been given to ungulate in the predator-free ecosystems. We assessed seasonal activity patterns and spatiotemporal overlap among the Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus tianschanicus) and its sympatric species through camera-trapping from October 2017 and September 2020 in Jeju Island, South Korea. Trap events when compared seasonally, roe deer show higher activity in summer (34.9%), a pronounced low in winter (14.1%), and a moderate in autumn (23.8%) and in spring (26.9%). Roe deer exhibited bimodal activity patterns and had the highest spatiotemporal overlap and composite score with sika deer (Cervus nippon). Our results are among the few available data on the interaction of sympatric species and suggest strong overlapping with sika deer. This study provides important insight into species coexistence in predator-free habitats, which would be important for management initiatives.
Yield response of field beans (Vicia faba) to plant population and sowing date in a temperate climate

Published: December 2022

Abstract

Sowing date and seed rate influence crop establishment, growth, yield and profitability. The growth and yield of field beans (Vicia faba) in response to sowing date and seed rate was examined over three seasons, 2016–2019, in Teagasc, Oak Park, Carlow, Ireland. Early winter sowings (October) established better than late winter sowings in November and January. No significant difference was found in establishment from mid-February to mid-March. Yield was generally highest from October sowings for the winter cultivar. Yields were similar from February, March and April sowings for the spring cultivar, with March generally yielding higher across the three seasons. Yield was also found to increase significantly with seed rate for both winter and spring cultivars. The economic optimum plant population was estimated for the October and March sowing dates, by fitting a standard (linear + exponential) curve. There is no published information on the optimum plant populations for field beans in Ireland and we believe we are the first to report these findings. The estimated economic optimum plant populations varied between 13 and 38 plants/m2 for both varieties, with an average optimum of 25.5 plants/m2. This range falls within the current recommendations for sowing field beans in Ireland, demonstrating that increasing plant populations above the current commercial practice for field beans in Ireland, will not increase yield or profitability.

Xylazine Complicating Opioid Ingestions in Young Children
Authors: Deutsch Stephanie Anne , De Jong Allan R. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The authors of this report present 3 cases of synthetic opioid intoxication complicated by the concomitant presence of the additive xylazine, a nonopioid sedative analgesic and muscle relaxant used in veterinary medicine that potentiates respiratory depression associated with the opioid toxidrome. Three exposed children presented with severe signs and symptoms, 2 of whom experienced cardiac arrest, a need for continuous naloxone infusion or multiple naloxone doses, or mechanical ventilation to treat respiratory failure after their exposures. Additives were detected in urine studies only through the performance of specialized toxicology testing. Detection of xylazine among adult overdose deaths has recently increased sharply, particularly across the northeastern United States. Adulteration by xylazine is an emerging public health threat nationally. Our report reveals that pediatricians should be aware of sentinel drug trends among adults, including the emerging types of illicit, synthetic, or counterfeit formulations of recreational substances, because children may be harmed because of accidental or intentional exposure. Children exposed to dangerous substances also need child protection services that may entail safe relocation outside of the home and the referral of affected caregivers to necessary substance use treatment services. Given epidemic drug use among adults, pediatricians should be competent to recognize common toxidromes and be aware that signs and symptoms may be potentiated by synergistic novel additives or polysubstance exposures. Importantly, standard urine drug screens may not detect synthetic opioid derivatives or contributing additives, so that diagnosis will require specialized toxicology testing.

AbstractCerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a hereditary vascular disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. MRI plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients. Characteristic MRI lesions include symmetric and bilateral white matter periventricular hyperintensities, lacunar infarcts and cerebral microbleeds. In our case report, we demonstrate a male patient with genetically confirmed CADASIL syndrome and the progression of symptoms with corresponding imaging findings throughout the years.

Published: December 2022

Study purpose. The low physical activity and fundamental movement skills of students in the COVID-19 era are gaps in this study. This study aims to exam the effects of exergame on the physical activity and fundamental movement skills of students during the COVID-19 era.
Materials and methods. Quantitative research with experimental methods was used in this study. The subjects of this study came from students at primary schools 1 and 2 in Karawang (n = 120). Subjects from primary school 1 Karawang entered the experimental group (n = 60), namely getting treatment in the form of exergame, and subjects from primary school 2 Karawang were included in the control group (n = 60) who did not receive any treatment and only carried out physical education learning activities. The intervention program was carried out for seven weeks. To measure the physical activity of the students, the ActiGraph GT9X Link accelerometer was used, and the fundamental movement skills of the children were assessed using the TGMD-3.
Results. The results showed that the implementation of exergame was proven to significantly improve physical activity (p < 0.05) and the same results show that exergame has a significant effect on fundamental movement skills (p < 0.05). However, there was no increase in physical activity and fundamental movement skills in the control group (p > 0.05).
Conclusions. This research is evidence that exergame is an effective tool to improve physical activity and fundamental movement skills students during the COVID-19 era.
