Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundTelehealth adoption is being fueled by both technological breakthroughs and societal demands; however, veterinarians have yet to fully embrace the concept of telemedicine, limiting its use and potential benefits. The goal of this study was to evaluate how effective the multi‐theory model (MTM) of health behaviour change explains the initiation and sustenance of telehealth use among veterinarians.MethodsFor this cross‐sectional study, a research company was contracted to disseminate the MTM‐based online survey to veterinarians currently engaged in clinical practice within the United States.ResultsA total of 243 veterinarians participated in this study. The most frequently reported age group among participants was 31–40 years (33.7%, n = 82). It was also noted that the majority of participants were female (70.0%, n = 170) and white (76.5%, n = 186). Hierarchical multiple regression showed that participatory dialogue (p = 0.037), species (p = 0.013) and previous monthly telehealth use (p = 0.040) were significant explanatory variables of initiation of telehealth use. Moreover, emotional transformation (p < 0.001) and previous monthly telehealth use (p = 0.035) were significant explanatory variables of sustenance of telehealth use.LimitationsThe data were collected in July 2020, during a global pandemic, in which telehealth use surged across a variety of professions. As a result, the findings of the study may not be relevant in periods when there is no pandemic.ConclusionsBased on the findings of this study, researchers, educators and veterinary professionals should consider using MTM as theoretical framework to develop interventions to enhance telehealth use.

AbstractAs the height of wind turbine increases, the lightning strike accident has become a non‐negligible issue. In this paper, the lightning attachment characteristic of a 2‐MW wind turbine generator (WTG) is investigated using a model with a reduced scale of 100. The WTG model is equipped with receptors on the blades and a lightning rod on the nacelle, both serving as its external lightning protection system (LPS). The high‐voltage electrode, which delivers a lightning impulse voltage from a Marx generator, is used to simulate the final stage of downward negative lightning strikes from 29 coming‐leader positions. The experimental results indicate that lightning leaders from either front directions or side directions could be intercepted effectively by LPS, whereas the back‐direction lightning could not. Moreover, with the increase of striking distance, the capture ratio for the insulation part of blade decreases. Electric field intensity distribution simulations for the full‐scale WTG model, using conditions similar to their experimental counterparts, are conducted and compared with the lightning attachment distribution. Based on classical electro‐geometrical model, a simulative method is proposed to predict the lightning attachment distribution of WTG. Our results indicate that it is feasible with this method to produce a satisfactory approximation to the experimentally obtained lightning attachment distribution.
Moral Elites in the Danish Temperance Movement (1910–1919): Elite Struggles over Disease and Values
Authors: Sevelsted Anders 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe chapter maps out the elite of the early Danish temperance movement and shows how distinct moral elites within the movement interpreted the cause according to their respective value frames while integrating the emerging disease frame of alcoholism. Theoretically, it argues for introducing the thus far estranged perspectives of elite studies and framing approaches to each other. The concept of moral elite is consequently introduced and defined as an elite that is rich in the resources on which moral authority is built, here limited to educational resources, organizational resources, and publications. The chapter applies a mixed methods design. First, social network analysis (SNA) is applied to a unique dataset comprising biographical information on 28 temperance leaders found in the Danish Who’s Who. The analysis reveals three distinct clusters within the temperance elite. Analyzing texts by the most prolific authors shows that each of the three clusters has a distinct profile: an elite dominated by medical doctors and theologians who articulate a traditional value frame according to which medical doctors and pastors carry a responsibility for the community – a responsibility that is expanded through philanthropy and specialized institutions; a revivalist elite of theologians and laymen who pursue a revivalist Holiness and civil society frame emphasizing faith’s healing abilities and the importance of organizing beyond the national church; and an organic elite that represented small farmers and workers and pushed an Enlightenment frame of direct democracy, rule of law, and education. The second part of the analysis shows how each elite cluster integrated the “alcoholism as a disease” belief frame in their value frames: traditional elites as a cause for institutionalization, revivalist elites as a reason to bolster the resilience in the population through faith, and the organic elite as a reason to promote self-care and education. In the final sections of the chapter, I tease out how the moral elite perspective may have implications for social movement research, especially in terms of holding movement elites accountable.
Justification, Values or Concerns? Pragmatist Theories of Morality and Civic Engagements in Local Urban Greenspaces
Authors: Krarup Troels 
Published: November 2022

AbstractMuch scholarship on social movements builds on (American) pragmatist ground. However, Boltanski and Thévenot’s (French) pragmatist theory of justification has received less attention. The theory promises a way to bridge between American pragmatist social movement studies and theories about universal human values and repertoires of engagement, such as Shalom Schwartz’. Upon presenting and discussing the French theory of justification, the chapter sets out to assess its analytical usefulness in relation to a national survey on civic engagements in local urban greenspaces in Denmark. The survey questionnaire includes measures for each of the ‘justificatory regimes’ distinguished by the theory. However, contrary to expectations, the results indicate a strong tendency for all eight justificatory regimes to correlate positively. Moreover, an index combining the eight measures into one variable correlates strongly with civic engagement in local urban greenspaces. On this basis, it is suggested that the measures capture a more conventionally situated American pragmatist ‘concern’ for greenspaces. In conclusion, the theoretical as well as methodological implications of studying concerns rather than justifications are discussed.
KPI for Data-Driven Assessment of Innovative Development Paths for Nature-Based Health Tourism in the Alpine Region
Authors: Bischof Michael , Hartl Arnulf J. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractTourism has been one of the most important economic sectors in the Alps for many years. However, not least because of the cuts due to the pandemic, new and innovative approaches are needed to meet current challenges such as climate change, shortage of skilled workers or demographic change in order to make Alpine tourism fit for the future. The topic of health offers great potential in this context. With the KPI approach, therefore, a possible access to a nature-based health tourism with medical evidence is presented, which should support the actors from the tourism practice in the further development of the Alpine tourism. At the same time, the KPI approach also offers possibilities to enable an overall more sustainable development of the Alpine region. This paper places the KPI approach in a larger development framework and explains the underlying analytical system based on selected indicators.
Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines 2021 (6th edition)
Authors:   Japanese Gastric Cancer Association
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe sixth edition of the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines was completed in July 2021, incorporating new evidence that emerged after publication of the previous edition. It consists of a text-based “Treatments” part and a “Clinical Questions” part including recommendations and explanations for clinical questions. The treatments parts include a comprehensive description regarding surgery, endoscopic resection and chemotherapy for gastric cancer. The clinical question part is based on the literature search and evaluation by an independent systematic review team. Consequently, not only evidence for each therapeutic recommendation was clearly shown, but it also identified the research fields that require further evaluation to provide appropriate recommendations.

AbstractCoronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) has been proposed as a key driver in the etiopathogenesis of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), likely related to an “adrenergic storm” upon a susceptible microvascular circulation. The aim of our manuscript was to assess CMD in patients with TTS through the computation of the angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) and its correlation with clinical presentation. Coronary angiograms of 41 consecutive TTS patients were retrospectively analyzed to derive angiography-based indices of CMD. Three indices (NH-IMRangio, AngioIMR and A-IMR) were calculated based on quantitative flow ratio. CMD was defined as an IMRangio value ≥ 25 units. The correlation between CMD and clinical presentation was then assessed. Median age was 76 years, 85.7% were women and mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at first echocardiogram was 41.2%. Angiography-derived IMR was higher in left anterior descending artery (LAD) than circumflex and right coronary artery with either NH-IMRangio (53.9 ± 19.8 vs 35.8 ± 15.4 vs 40.8 ± 18.5, p-value < 0.001), AngioIMR (47.2 ± 17.3 vs 31.8 ± 12.2 vs 37.3 ± 13.7, p-value < 0.001) or A-IMR (52.7 ± 19 vs 36.1 ± 14.1 vs 41.8 ± 16.1, p-value < 0.001). All patients presented CMD with angiography-derived IMR ≥ 25 in at least one territory with each formula. Angiography-derived IMR in LAD territory was significantly higher in patients presenting with LVEF impairment (≤ 40%) than in those with preserved ventricular global function (NH-IMRangio: 59.3 ± 18.1 vs 46.3 ± 16.0 p-value = 0.030; AngioIMR: 52.9 ± 17.8 vs 41.4 ± 14.2, p-value = 0.037; A-IMR: 59.2 ± 18.6 vs 46.3 ± 17.0, p-value = 0.035). CMD assessed with angiography-derived IMR is a common finding in TTS and it is inversely correlated with LV function. The available formulas have a substantial superimposable diagnostic performance in assessing coronary microvascular function.
A container-based workflow for distributed training of deep learning algorithms in HPC clusters
Authors: González-Abad Jose , López García Álvaro , Kozlov Valentin Y. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDeep learning has been postulated as a solution for numerous problems in different branches of science. Given the resource-intensive nature of these models, they often need to be executed on specialized hardware such graphical processing units (GPUs) in a distributed manner. In the academic field, researchers get access to this kind of resources through High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters. This kind of infrastructures make the training of these models difficult due to their multi-user nature and limited user permission. In addition, different HPC clusters may possess different peculiarities that can entangle the research cycle (e.g., libraries dependencies). In this paper we develop a workflow and methodology for the distributed training of deep learning models in HPC clusters which provides researchers with a series of novel advantages. It relies on udocker as containerization tool and on Horovod as library for the distribution of the models across multiple GPUs. udocker does not need any special permission, allowing researchers to run the entire workflow without relying on any administrator. Horovod ensures the efficient distribution of the training independently of the deep learning framework used. Additionally, due to containerization and specific features of the workflow, it provides researchers with a cluster-agnostic way of running their models. The experiments carried out show that the workflow offers good scalability in the distributed training of the models and that it easily adapts to different clusters.
Biomonitoring of a Nile Delta Lake using benthic foraminifera

Published: November 2022

AbstractLake Edku, one of the northern Nile Delta lakes, is a shallow brackish coastal lake subjected to domestic and agricultural effluents via two main drains, El-Khairy and Barsik, in addition to the discharge water of hundreds of fish farms. This study measures the responses of the benthic foraminiferal assemblage to the environmental stressors in Lake Edku. Grain size, organic carbon, and seven potentially toxic elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni, and As) were determined in nine short cores (25–35 cm depth). The lake was characterized by vertical increase in mud, organic matter, and concentrations of all metals, particularly in the eastern basin at the vicinity of the drain discharges. This trend coincides with a general decrease in species diversity and increase in deformed specimens. The foraminiferal assemblage was dominated by Ammonia tepida (Cushman), a pollution-tolerant and euryhaline species. This study demonstrates that benthic foraminiferal assemblages provide a reliable pollution proxy in the brackish environments of Nile Delta that can be used in the periodical monitoring of the coastal lakes.

Abstract
The combination of meaning-bearing units (e.g., words) into higher-order structures (e.g., compound words and phrases) is integral to human language. Despite this central role of syntax in language, little is known about its evolutionary progression. Comparative data using animal communication systems offer potential insights, but only a handful of species have been identified to combine meaningful calls together into larger signals. We investigated a candidate for syntax-like structure in the highly social chestnut-crowned babbler (Pomatostomus ruficeps). Using a combination of behavioral observations, acoustic analyses, and playback experiments, we test whether the form and function of maternal contact calls is modified by combining the core “piping” elements of such calls with at least one other call element or call. Results from the acoustic analyses (236 analysed calls from 10 individuals) suggested that piping call elements can be flexibly initiated with either “peow” elements from middle-distance contact calls or adult “begging” calls to form “peow-pipe” and “beg-pipe” calls. Behavioral responses to playbacks (20 trials to 7 groups) of natural peow-pipe and beg-pipe calls were comparable to those of artificially generated versions of each call using peow elements and begging calls from other contexts. Furthermore, responses to playbacks (34 trials to 7 groups) of the three forms of maternal contact calls (piping alone, peow-pipe, beg-pipe) differed. Together these data suggest that meaning encoded in piping calls is modified by combining such calls with begging calls or peow elements used in other contexts and so provide rare empirical evidence for syntactic-like structuring in a nonhuman animal.
Structure and Authorship of the KusumÀ·jali
Authors: Ruzsa Ferenc 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis paper suggests that the classic of Indian theology, theNyāya-kusumâñjaliis in fact two texts: an earlier treatise in 65ślokas,and Udayana’s (mostly prose) commentary on it. Internal evidence consists in: (a) theślokasread as a continuous text; (b) there are extremely long prose passages without verses; (c) Udayana does not comment on his own verses, only on theślokas;(d) the basic plan of the two texts are markedly different; (e) different content of some chapters: ch. 1 about karmavs.rituals to reach heaven, ch. 2 about creationvs.eternality of sound, and in ch. 5 Udayana doubles the arguments for God; (f) Udayana deals extensively with atoms and yogic perception and rejects the concept ofśakti,in contrast to the verses; (g) there are a few manifest disagreements (oncreatio continuaand the sacredness of god-images). External evidence for the thesis: (a) there are mss. of the verses only; (b) there are many commentaries on the verses only; (c) these commentators—with a single exception—do not seem to take Udayana for the author of the verses; (d) the first commentary on Udayana names his own work a subcommentary; (e) in his other works, it is atypical of Udayana to insertślokasin his text; (f) a legend of the Bhāduṙī Brahmins stating that Udayana “received” theKusumâñjali.
Refining the search space of Alltop monomials
Authors: Price Aiden , Hall Joanne , Bartlett Harry 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAlltop functions have applications to code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems and mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). Alltop functions construct MUBs and CDMA signal sets, and this motivates the continued search for further Alltop functions. The discovery of further Alltop functions is hindered by the computational complexity of verification. This paper narrows the search space through the introduction of a characteristic cubic polynomial and provides a verification process for Alltop monomials with a reduced computational complexity. Computational results lead to the conjecture that there are no further Alltop monomials.
Stability Through Movement: Theoretical and Practical Considerations of Social Space in Central European Neolithic Lakeside Settlements
Authors: Bahss Anna , Bleicher Niels 
Published: November 2022

AbstractStudies related to prehistoric, Circum-Alpine lakeside settlements have for the last decade or so begun to focus increasingly on the reconstruction of its inhabitant’s social dimensions of life. More traditional models attempting to explain the often-fleeting settlement patterns set in a tightly managed cultural landscape focusing on climate and economic factors alone have proven insufficient and opened up to more nuanced and multi-scalar approaches. Especially built structures, due to their exceptional preservation, constitute a popular jumping-off point for a number of theories and interpretations but recent work has also moved beyond the confines of the settlement to include the wider cultural landscape as crucial in understanding the lakeside phenomenon. This article re-evaluates one of the more popular architecture-based models, namely the non-correspondence model, and subsequently suggests an alternative, more integrative approach based on Amos Rapoport’s understanding of space. The aim is to create a more flexible approach to questions of space, time and meaning that does not stop at the built environment. Input from both the natural and the social sciences is combined in an attempt to sketch out an approximation of life on the lakeshores more than 5000 years ago.

AbstractClimate change represents a threat to narrow-ranged mountain species living in low-altitude massifs. We studied the disjunct Apennine population ofLasiommata petropolitana(Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) in the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park. We quantified the altitudinal shifts undergone in the last decades (1964–2021) in the Alps and Apennines and estimated the local extinction risk due to climate change. We also sequenced theCOImitochondrial marker of seven Apennine specimens, comparing them with those available across the Palearctic. We projected the probability of presence for the species under a future climatic scenario using an ensemble forecasting approach. We found that, despite geographical isolation, the Apennine population ofL. petropolitanadisplays a single widespreadCOIhaplotype also occurring in most European populations. In the Alps and Apennines, this species has shifted uphill an average of 6.3 m per year since 1964. Accordingly, our model predicted a likely extinction in the Apennines by about 2060, due to a reduction of the climatic suitability in this region.Implications for insect conservationImplications for insect conservation Despite its potential loss in the Apennines would not erode mitochondrial diversity,L. petropolitanacharacterises the butterfly community of the Gran Sasso massif as an alpine enclave. The loss of the Apennine population, together with those of other orophilous butterflies, could trigger a homogenization of alpha and beta diversity and induce a loss of functional diversity in the impoverished high-altitude biotas. As habitat heterogeneity is a key aspect for populations to endure climate change, the maintenance of varied microhabitats, mainly through grazing management, could address the decline of this population.
