A phase II EWMA chart for the balanced one‐way random effects model
Authors: Yao Yuhui , Chakraborti Subhabrata 
Published: August 2022

AbstractStatistical process control (SPC) techniques are used in applications where more than one sources of variation are present, for example, in a one‐way random effects (variance components) model. The Shewhart control charts for this situation have been studied by several researchers. However, exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) charts are generally recommended in Phase II, as they are more sensitive to detecting smaller process mean shifts. We consider EWMA charts for the one‐way random effects model in the balanced case, properly accounting for the effects of parameter estimation while designing and implementing the control charts. In the sequel we derive and calculate the corrected (adjusted) control limits for Phase II applications. Following the recent literature, the limits are formulated under two perspectives, the unconditional and the conditional. Tabulations of the charting constants are provided under both perspectives along with an illustration with some actual data. A simulation study examining in‐control (IC) robustness performance is conducted under both perspectives. Finally, some conclusions are given. An R package is provided to support deployment of the proposed control chart in practice.

Published: August 2022

AbstractAs far as literature of quality control is concerned, this is the first article that advocates the run sum ratio scheme with measurement errors, called the RS‐RZ ME chart. The linear covariate error model is employed in designing the RS‐RZ ME chart in detecting increases and decreases in the ratio of two variables from the normal distribution. The average run length and expected average run length values of the RS‐RZ ME chart are obtained using the Markov chain model. A comparison of the RS‐RZ ME scheme with two measurement errors based charts in the literature, namely, the Shewhart ratio and standard run sum ratio charts is conducted. The results indicate the superiority of the RS‐RZ ME chart over the aforesaid existing charts for most of the shift sizes and shift intervals considered. The findings reveal that as the values of the parameters controlling the accuracy error of the measurement system, increase, the RS‐RZ ME scheme's efficiency increases. In the same vein, as the values of the parameters controlling the precision of the measurement system, decrease, the RS‐RZ ME scheme’ efficiency increases. Furthermore, as the value of the correlation coefficient between variables X and Y increases, the RS‐RZ ME chart's efficiency increases. The application of the RS‐RZ ME scheme is illustrated using data from a food industry.
Radiolysis of Electrolytes in Batteries: A Quick and Efficient Screening Process for the Selection of Electrolyte‐Additive Formulations

Published: August 2022

AbstractUnderstanding aging phenomena in batteries is crucial to the design of efficient, safe, and reliable energy storage devices as a part of the current green energy transition. Among the different aspects of a battery, the behavior of the electrolyte is a key parameter. Therefore, screening the aging characteristics of different electrolytes is of major interest. However, few screening studies exist because these are time‐consuming and require the monitoring of numerous charge and discharge cycles. It has been demonstrated here that radiation chemistry, i.e., the interaction between ionizing radiation and matter, is a valuable tool to screen the behavior of various electrolytes within a few hours. Indeed, the rapid radiolysis of electrolytes leads to the production of the same gases as produced by electrochemical cycling (i.e., H2, CO2), and the ranking of electrolytes by their H2 production yields similar performance ratings to those reported in the literature. Therefore, this direct comparison of electrolytes alone, lasting a few hours without any manufacturing operations such as the fabrication of electrochemical cells, demonstrates that controlled irradiation makes it possible to predict battery cycling behavior. Additionally, mechanisms involved in the degradation processes of different electrolytes are proposed.

Published: August 2022

AbstractThe terrestrialization process by vertebrates occurred during the Devonian period, with fully land‐dwelling tetrapods recorded in the Carboniferous. Thus, the Late Devonian is an important period for deciphering the ecological pressures that applied during the water‐to‐land transition. Higher predation pressures in the underwater environment have been suggested as an influential biotic evolutionary factor in this key habitat shift. Direct evidence of ancient predation on Palaeozoic vertebrates is seen in the form of rare traces preserved on fossils, and these range from trauma observed on the skeleton (such as attack marks) to ingested food remains (bromalites). The late Famennian freshwater ecosystem of Strud (Belgium) consists of a rich assemblage of many coeval gnathostomes or jawed fishes (placoderms, ‘acanthodians’, actinopterygians, and various sarcopterygian groups including tetrapods). Here we analyse the record of direct evidence for predation in the Strud vertebrate fossil assemblage. We recognize 12 regurgitalites and 13 bite traces, including a rare case of a tooth embedded in its original prey body target. Fossils from regurgitalites were imaged using scanning electron microscopy and chemically analysed to test for their possible ingestion signature by comparison with other isolated skeletal remains from the same locality. From this evidence, tristichopterid tetrapodomorphs are inferred to be the highest consumers of the trophic network, targeting small placoderms, and porolepiforms, and probably congeners. We observe two possible prey patterns in regurgitalites, for sarcopterygians and actinopterygians, both of which are associated with acanthodians. In Strud, no trophic position can be deduced for tetrapods from direct fossil evidence of predation.

New conceptual approaches to cognition in systems engineering: applying the 4 E's of cognition
Authors: Rao Vikram M , Francis Royce A 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis paper presents novel approaches to investigate aspects of cognition in organization and team‐based decision making. The authors draw on recent literature in team and organizational learning, cognition, behavior, knowledge management, macrocognition, and human factors to support this approach. The authors discuss five novel cognitive approaches based on this literature. The authors draw parallels with the philosophical “4E cognition” of organism model, which describes four types of cognition present in organisms. The authors note that previous literature has discussed analogous behavior between organizations and organisms, and that organizations can be described as complex systems mimicking organism structure and behavior. The authors discuss applications of these approaches in systems engineering contexts, including complex system design, decision making, and knowledge management that future research should pursue.
(Il)Legitimating Filipino Teachers' English on Webpages for Japanese Learners of English
Authors: Morikawa Tomoaki , Parba Jayson 
Published: August 2022

AbstractRecent studies indicate that many foreign students now choose to go to the Philippines for university and language education. In this paper, we examine how Filipino Teachers' English (FTE) is represented on English language schools' webpages to market the Philippines as an alternative destination for acquiring “good” English among Japanese nationals. By examining a combination of online texts, photos, and videos through the lens of multimodal discourse analysis, we found that FTE is often presented as affordable and native‐like or somewhat akin to American English. While on the surface the shift of focus to the Philippines as a place for English education may appear to dismantle Japanese learners' strong preference for native speakers of English, the schools reinforce the hierarchization of English by invoking American English and/or native‐speakerist ideals. In short, FTE is promoted as a desirable option because it can pass as native‐like and is affordable. Unlike the less prestigious varieties of English spoken by the majority of Filipinos, which are implicitly stigmatized as impure and therefore inferior and undesirable, FTE is constructed as high quality at low cost. Through this representation, English language schools in the Philippines participate in the complex process of legitimating and illegitimating Philippine English, while at the same time reinforcing the hierarchization of English and the ideology of native speakerness.

AbstractThailand has used front‐of‐pack labelling (FoPL) policies to support its public health objectives of improving consumer nutrition to reduce the risk of noncommunicable disease. A rapid literature review explored the current types of FoPL systems in Thailand and how they are understood by consumers. Twelve studies were included, most of which examined the mandatory Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) label. Evidence showed gaps in consumer comprehension of the GDA—consistent with international literature demonstrating the GDA is not as effective at improving identification and choice of healthier foods as interpretive labels. Thai consumers reported somewhat better comprehension when colors or text were added to the GDA. Thai stakeholders should consider supplementing or replacing the GDA with one of the newer FoPL systems shown to be more effective in other countries. More rigorous research is necessary to ensure potential FoPL schemes have intended effects among Thai consumers to inform policy action.
Open Schools in Developing Countries

Published: August 2022

AbstractThis chapter examines the reach and experiences of virtual and Open and Distance Learning (ODL)-based education in the context of developing countries with high socioeconomic inequalities and highly uneven access to literacy and technology, through a study of the ODL experience in India. Using the perspective of inclusiveness, the chapter first examines the available evidence related to the virtual schooling experiences during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic made virtual schooling suddenly a reality in the entire country, as has been the case in most parts of the globe. It then moves to analyze the available evidence with regards to the existing ODL-based system in India, which also happens to be one of the largest in terms of the numbers covered through this mode in the world. Based on these analyses, the chapter identified three kinds of thresholds: access related, learning related and systems related, to outline the prerequisites for the success of virtual or open schooling, especially from the perspective of those who belong to educationally disadvantages groups or locations and face marginalization of some kind. While arguing for making the ODL-based education far more inclusive and responsive to specific disadvantages, the chapter recognizes the need for the mainstream regular school system to become more flexible and open by learning form the ODL-based education system. Finally, the chapter argues for the need for adopting a proactive and layered learner support approach in order to ensure that virtual teaching actually leads to meaningful learning.
Quantum simulation of chiral phase transitions

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model has been widely studied for investigating the chiral phase structure of strongly interacting matter. The study of the thermodynamics of field theories within the framework of Lattice Field Theory is limited by the sign problem, which prevents Monte Carlo evaluation of the functional integral at a finite chemical potential. Using the quantum imaginary time evolution (QITE) algorithm, we construct a quantum simulation for the (1 + 1) dimensional NJL model at finite temperature and finite chemical potential. We observe consistency among digital quantum simulation, exact diagonalization and analytical solution, indicating further applications of quantum computing in simulating QCD thermodynamics.

Authors: Weise Philipp , Apel Petra , Kolossa-Gehring Marike 
Published: August 2022

ZusammenfassungBeim Human-Biomonitoring wird die innere Schadstoffbelastung des Menschen aus verschiedenen Quellen wie Nahrung, Alltagsgegenständen oder Atemluft erfasst, indem z. B. Blut und Urin analysiert werden. Um das Human-Biomonitoring in Europa zu fördern und zu koordinieren, wurde 2017 das Projekt „Human-Biomonitoring für Europa“ (HBM4EU) begonnen, an dem sich 30 Länder, die Europäische Umweltagentur und die Europäische Kommission beteiligt haben. Im Juni 2022 wurde das Projekt abgeschlossen.Vergleichbare und zuverlässige Belastungsdaten konnten für eine breite Palette von Umweltchemikalien erfasst und einheitlich bewertet werden. Weitere wichtige Erfolge der Initiative waren die Etablierung eines Kontrollprogramms zur Qualitätssicherung, ein Konzept zur Vereinheitlichung zukünftiger HBM-Studien, eine gemeinsame Strategie zur Ableitung von gesundheitsbezogenen Beurteilungswerten (HBM Guidance Values – HBM-GVs) und die Einrichtung nationaler Gremien. Die gewonnenen Belastungsdaten sind über die Informationsplattform für die Überwachung von Chemikalien (IPCHEM) und das EU HBM-Dashboard zugänglich. Publikationen sind über die HBM4EU-Onlinebibliothek frei verfügbar.Insgesamt zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Belastungen der EU-Bevölkerung für viele Chemikalien wie etwa Phthalate und perfluorierte Alkylsubstanzen (PFAS) zu hoch sind und weiterhin Handlungsbedarf seitens der Politik besteht. Das im Projekt HBM4EU generierte Wissen kann die politischen Entscheidungsträger:innen bei der Verbesserung der Chemikalien‑, Umwelt- und Gesundheitspolitik unterstützen.

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Die Diagnose und Behandlung von Patienten mit immunvermittelten Polyneuropathien ist aufgrund der Heterogenität der Erkrankungen herausfordernd.

Ziel der Arbeit
Ein aktueller epidemiologischer Überblick über die Versorgungssituation von Patienten mit immunvermittelten Polyneuropathien innerhalb des deutschen Neuritis-Netzwerks „Neuritis Netz“.

Material und Methoden
Es erfolgte eine Umfrage in neun deutschen neurologischen Zentren, die auf die Betreuung von Patienten mit Immunneuropathie spezialisiert sind. Wir erfassten Diagnose, Vorgehen in der Diagnostik und Nachsorge, typische Symptome bei Manifestation und im Krankheitsverlauf sowie Therapiedaten.

Ergebnisse
Die Erhebung umfasst Daten von 1529 jährlich behandelten Patienten mit Immunneuropathien, 1320 davon mit chronisch inflammatorisch demyelinisierender Polyneuropathie (CIDP). Die Diagnostik umfasste fast immer Lumbalpunktionen sowie Elektroneuro- und -myografien entsprechend den aktuellen Leitlinien. Der Einsatz von Ultraschall, Biopsie und MRT war unterschiedlich. Wichtigster klinischer Parameter zum Therapiemonitoring in allen Zentren war die motorische Funktion in den klinischen Nachuntersuchungen. Zur Erhaltungstherapie wurde bei rund 15 % der Patienten ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlicher Immunsuppressiva eingesetzt.

Diskussion
Die Studie liefert wichtige epidemiologische Daten zur aktuellen Versorgungsituation von Patienten mit Immunneuropathien in Deutschland. Die Weiterentwicklung spezifischer Empfehlungen zur Therapie und Nachverfolgung von CIDP-Patienten ist notwendig, um einen einheitlichen Standard der Patientenversorgung zu gewährleisten. Dieses wird durch die strukturierte Zusammenarbeit von Exzellenzzentren wie dem deutschen Neuritis Netz erheblich unterstützt.
“Cost-effectiveness of ACL treatment is dependent on age and activity level: a systematic review”

Abstract
Purpose
To systematically review the literature on health-economic evaluations of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury between reconstruction surgery (ACLR) and non-operative treatment (NO) and suggest the most cost-effective strategy between the two.

Methods
All economic studies related to ACLR versus NO post-ACL injury, either trial based or model based, published until April 2022, were identified using PubMed and Embase. The methodology of the health-economic analysis for each included study was categorized according to the four approaches: cost-minimization analysis (CMA), cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), cost–benefit analysis (CBA), and cost-utility analysis (CUA). The quality of each included study was assessed using the Consensus on Health Economic Criteria (CHEC) list.

Results
Of the seven included studies, two compared the strategies of early ACLR and NO alone, and five compared early ACLR and NO with optional delayed ACLR. All studies performed a CUA, and one study performed a CBA additionally. The CHEC scores of the included studies can be considered good, ranging from 15 to 18 from a maximum of 19. Applying the common standard threshold of $50,000 per QALY, six studies in young people with high-activity levels or athletes showed that early ACLR would be preferred over either NO alone or delayed ACLR. Of six studies, two even showed early ACLR to be the dominant strategy over either NO alone or delayed ACLR, with per-patient cost savings of $5,164 and $1,803 and incremental per-patient QALY gains of 0.18 and 0.28, respectively. The one study in the middle-aged people with a moderate activity level showed that early ACLR was not more cost-effective than delayed ACLR, with ICER $101,939/QALY using the societal perspective and ICER $63,188/QALY using the healthcare system perspective.

Conclusion
Early ACLR is likely the more cost-effective strategy for ACL injury cases in athletes and young populations with high-activity levels. On the other hand, non-operative treatment with optional delayed ACLR may be the more cost-effective strategy in the middle age population with moderate activity levels.

Level of evidence
Systematic review of level III studies.
Failure mode classification for condition-based maintenance in a bearing ring grinding machine
Authors: Ahmer Muhammad , Sandin Fredrik , Marklund Pär , Gustafsson Martin , Berglund Kim 
Published: August 2022

AbstractTechnical failures in machines are major sources of unplanned downtime in any production and result in reduced efficiency and system reliability. Despite the well-established potential of Machine Learning techniques in condition-based maintenance (CBM), the lack of access to failure data in production machines has limited the development of a holistic approach to address machine-level CBM. This paper presents a practical approach for failure mode prediction using multiple sensors installed in a bearing ring grinder for process control as well as condition monitoring. Bearing rings are produced in a set of 7 experimental runs, including 5 frequently occurring production failures in the critical subsystems. An advanced data acquisition setup, implemented for CBM in the grinder, is used to capture information about each individual grinding cycle. The dataset is pre-processed and segmented into grinding cycle stages before time and frequency domain feature extraction. A sensor ranking algorithm is proposed to optimize feature selection for failure classification and the installation cost. Random forest models, benchmarked as best performing classifiers, are trained in a two-step classification framework. The presence of failure mode is predicted in the first step and the failure mode type is identified in the second step using the same feature set. Defining the feature set in the failure detection step improves the predictor generalization with the classifiers’ performance accuracy of$$99\%$$99%on the test dataset. The presented approach demonstrates an efficient failure mode classification by selecting crucial sensors resulting in a cost-effective CBM implementation in a bearing ring grinder.
