Published: September 2022

AbstractCooperative behaviour is a prominent feature among many group-living species and continues to pose challenges to our understanding about the evolution of social relationships and task coordination between members of the same social group. Individuals who are willing to cooperate to achieve a joined action need to communicate their intentions and somehow make a common agreement. We investigated how a coordinated chorus song is initiated in a cooperative-breeding bird species, The Yellow-Breasted Barbet (Trachyphonus margaritatus). A chorus can be defined as an interactive vocal display involving several individuals who are synchronizing their behaviour to sing in a time coordinated manner. Synchronizing behaviour to sing in chorus might become quite challenging when several individuals are involved. Thus, group members could use a specific signal to induce such collective action. Yet, few studies have investigated the mechanisms of communal display initiation in chorusing bird species. We conducted playback experiments to induce and record territorial defensive reactions from birds with a video camera. We recorded 26 different groups from distinct wild populations in Djibouti which belonged to 17 sites. We found that barbets use a specific vocalization namedchewpnote to introduce their duet and chorus. Moreover, we found that the individual that initiates such communal displays may broadcast a multimodal signal by combiningchewpnote series with a typical body posture with the tail raised and fanned. We suggest that the multimodal signal could serve to attract attention and elicit a response from other group members or could enhance the song coordination.
Factors influencing the initiation of adjuvant endocrine therapy in patients with estrogen receptor-positive ductal carcinoma in situ: a single institution experience
Authors: Levy Julia , Farag Fady , Cole John 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Purpose
This study evaluates whether race, socioeconomic status, insurance type, oncological provider type, and prior cancer treatment are associated with the suggestion and acceptance of hormonal therapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This study also assesses whether disparities exist pertaining to prescription of such medications.

Methods
This single-center retrospective study included 111 patients diagnosed with DCIS between 2020 and 2021. Data collected included race, type of insurance, prescribing providers, and socioeconomic status. We used zip codes to identify the poverty levels in these areas as published in the United States Census Bureau and stratified the patients into quartiles accordingly. Chi-Square statistics were used to calculate significance levels.

Results
There was no significant correlation between the intake of hormonal therapy and race (p = 0.60), insurance (p = 0.50), socioeconomic (p = 0.58), or providers (p = 0.99). 79.3% of women were offered endocrine therapy. Of those who were offered endocrine therapy, 70.8% accepted. Of patients not on hormonal therapy, 45.8% were not recommended the medications by their provider, and 54.2% declined treatment when offered.

Conclusion
In this study, patients’ demographics and providers were not associated with adjuvant hormonal therapy initiation in DCIS. Our results show that abstaining from endocrine therapy in DCIS patients is both due to lack of provider recommendation and patient rejection of these medications. The wide variation in hormonal therapy treatment among ER-positive DCIS patients suggests a need for improved provider-patient communication regarding the risks and benefits of endocrine therapy in order to ensure a shared decision-making process.

Published: September 2022

AbstractDespite the pervasive use of ethics training by companies, research in management accounting has not considered the effectiveness of such training in curtailing managers’ misreporting. This study examines the effect of ethics training on misreporting as a reminder to raise the awareness of employees’ ethical commitment. Furthermore, this study investigates the extent to which reciprocity in the workplace affects managers’ misreporting. The results from an experiment involving 124 managers show that in the absence of an ethical commitment reminder, managers are more likely to engage in misreporting than when an ethical commitment reminder is present. The results suggest that ethical commitment reminder interacts with reciprocity in the workplace, affecting managers’ misreporting. Specifically, the results reveal that managers are more likely to engage in misreporting under the reciprocity in the workplace condition when the ethical commitment reminder is absent. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

AbstractUnemployment and underemployment have consistently been shown to be higher in autistic adults relative to non-autistic adults. This may be due, in part, to a lack of workplace accommodations being made for autistic people. One factor that may contribute to employment inequalities in autistic people is differences in attitudes towards interpersonal touch. This study acts as a preliminary investigation into whether employed autistic and non-autistic participants differ in their attitudes towards touch in the workplace, and in their loneliness and wellbeing. The current dataset was drawn from a larger online survey (the Touch Test) designed to explore attitudes and experiences towards touch. We found that employed autistic participants had more negative attitudes to general, social and workplace touch relative to non-autistic participants. Autistic participants also experienced greater loneliness and reduced wellbeing. Attachment-related anxiety was the only significant predictor of wellbeing in employed autistic adults. However, attachment-related anxiety, general attitudes to touch and the role of touch in the workplace predicted wellbeing in employed non-autistic adults. With regards to loneliness, general attitudes to touch and the role of touch in the workplace predicted loneliness in autistic participants. We also replicated the finding that a greater proportion of autistic participants were unemployed relative to non-autistic participants. Collectively, this research highlights the importance of considering touch in research investigating employment, and its impact on loneliness and wellbeing, in autistic participants.
Experimental measurement of particle crushing around model piles jacked in a calibration chamber

Published: September 2022

AbstractDuring installation of driven or jacked piles in sand, particle crushing occurs in a region below the base of these piles. Quantification of the degree and extent of particle crushing during driving or jacking in sand is necessary to improve current design methods. To study the effects of particle crushing on the capacity of piles jacked in uniform silica sand samples, a model pile was jacked and tested in a half-cylindrical calibration chamber with transparent observation windows in its front wall. Annular samples of crushed sand 3 mm in thickness were recovered after testing from several locations along the shaft and the base of the model piles and used to assess particle gradation changes and to calculate breakage parameters. Relationships between the load mobilized at the base of the model piles and three breakage parameters are proposed. Furthermore, the number of jacking strokes (ranging from 1 to 32 in this research) has a negligible effect on the degree of crushing produced during installation and on the measured stresses at the base of the model pile. Analyses of the digital images captured during pile jacking indicate that the silica sand particles in the path of the model pile crush mainly along irregularities and sharp edges. Different zones are identified below the model pile according to the degree of particle crushing. Digital images taken during static loading of the model pile allowed tracking of the displacement paths of individual sand particles during loading.
Einfluss der Berufserfahrung von Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren auf die Wirksamkeit von Fortbildungsmaßnahmen zur frühen mathematischen Bildung

ZusammenfassungNach Meinung von Lehrkräften und frühpädagogischen Fachkräften sollten Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren insbesondere über eigene Berufserfahrung als Lehrkraft bzw. frühpädagogische Fachkraft verfügen, um wirksame Fortbildungsmaßnahmen durchführen zu können. Im Projekt EmMaM wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit die Berufserfahrung von Multiplikatorinnen bei an Fortbildungsmaßnahmen teilnehmenden frühpädagogischen Fachkräften (n = 83) die Entwicklung mathematikdidaktischen Wissens begünstigt und die Freude an Mathematik stärkt. Es zeigt sich, dass die Berufserfahrung der teilnehmenden Multiplikatorinnen keinen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung des mathematikdidaktischen Wissens der frühpädagogischen Fachkräfte hat, sie begünstigt jedoch die Entwicklung der Freude der frühpädagogischen Fachkräfte an Mathematik. Unter Kontrolle dieser gesteigerten Freude zeigt sich ein Einfluss der Berufserfahrung auf die Entwicklung des mathematikdidaktischen Wissens, allerdings zugunsten der teilnehmenden Multiplikatorinnen, die keine Berufserfahrung in Kindertageseinrichtungen vorweisen konnten, aber stattdessen ein Studium absolviert hatten.
Towards narrowing the reality gap in electromechanical systems: error modeling in virtual commissioning

Published: September 2022

AbstractDigital factories and smart manufacturing systems have been increasingly researched and multiple concepts were developed to cope with prevailing ever-shortening life-cycles. The ubiquitous digital twin, despite many definitions, is often praised for accurate virtual models. One key idea to improve manufacturing through such virtual models is virtual commissioning (VC), aiming at early machine code validation. VC and its virtual models are still lacking behind their real counterparts. This gap between reality and its virtual model, commonly termed reality gap, increases the complexity of creating cyber-physical systems. An especially stark contrast is visible between the idealized virtual model and a real machine encountering errors. While error simulations exist in other fields of research, a thorough investigation in VC is missing. Thus, this paper addresses the task of narrowing the reality gap in VC based on two steps. First, a comprehensive body of research of possible errors encountered in virtual commissioning is analyzed. Secondly, the feasibility of error implementation is discussed. This paper lays the foundation for narrowing the reality gap and enabling test automation and digital twin-based control.
Does corporate social performance improve bank efficiency? Evidence from European banks

Published: September 2022

AbstractThis paper analyses the impact of corporate social performance (CSP) on bank efficiency in a sample of 108 European listed banks across 21 countries over the period 2011–2019. Simar and Wilson’s two-stage approach (Simar and Wilson in J Econom 136:31–64, 2007) has been applied, specifically using data envelopment analysis (DEA) at the first stage to estimate efficiency scores and then truncated regression estimation with double-bootstrap to test the significance of the relationship between bank efficiency and CSP as well as its different dimensions. Our results suggest evidence of a U-shaped relationship between CSP and efficiency, indicating that banks with either high or low corporate social performance levels are the most efficient. Considering the isolated effect of environmental, social, and governance dimensions, the same conclusion can be drawn for the latter two, while the former does not appear to have any effect on a bank’s efficiency. Our work contributes to the existing literature by providing a holistic procedure for assessing CSP in terms of efficiency, allowing us to study the separate effect of each component on bank efficiency. Our results have strong implications for regulators, policymakers, bank managers and investors supporting the changes in the EU Regulatory Taxonomy that lead banks to align their activities and strategies with the Sustainable Development Goals.

AbstractGelatin (GEL) and whey protein isolate (WPI) are often taken into account as carriers of phytoantioxidants for developing active packaging. The materials obtained, however, have not yet been systematically compared to demonstrate their potential benefits and drawbacks. Fireweed extract (FE) is a rich source of polyphenols with high antioxidant activity. Therefore, in this study, the structural, physicochemical, and antiradical properties of GEL and WPI films incorporated with freeze-dried fireweed extract (FE; 0, 0.0125, 0.025, 0.05%) were simultaneously evaluated. As verified by X-ray diffraction, the GEL-based films were more crystalline and, consequently, mechanically stronger (~ 9–11 vs. ~ 6 MPa) and less permeable to water vapor than the WPI films (44.95–52.02 vs. 61.47–70.49 g mm m−2 day−1 kPa−1). Furthermore, GEL offered a bit more transparent, less yellow, and more stretchable films (~ 50–59% vs. ~ 26%). In turn, the WPI films had superior UV-protective potential. The higher FE concentration yielded more yellow films with improved UV-blocking ability. The FE (0.05%) made the GEL cryogel denser. Based on the half-time reduction of 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation (tABTS50%), the 0.025, and 0.05% FE-supplemented WPI films exhibited ~ 1.6 and ~ 1.9 times better antiradical potential than the GEL counterparts. This result implies that the WPI-based films, being more soluble (35.12–36.74 vs. 31.51–33.21%) and less swellable (192.61–205.88 vs. 1056.93–2282.47%), ensured faster release of FE into aqueous medium. The slower building up of the antiradical activity of the FE-supplemented GEL films suggests that GEL could be more useful in the development of slow/less migratory active packaging systems for high moisture food.

AbstractThis paper aims to fabricate new superhydrophobic nanocomposite coating materials to protect the inner surfaces of the petroleum pipelines from corrosion. The batch emulsification polymerization technique (BEM) was used as a facial eco-friendly technique to prepare three hydrophobic (styrene/vinyl acetate) copolymers. The sol–gel method was used to prepare SiO2nanoparticles (SiO2-NPs) with average size ranging from 90 to 101 nm. The functionalized SiO2-NPs were prepared using hexadecyl trimethoxy silane (HDTS) as a precursor to increasing the hydrophobicity character of the unfunctionalized SiO2-NPs. Three superhydrophobic [(styrene/vinyl acetate copolymer/functionalized SiO2nanoparticles (SiO2NPs)] nanocomposites denoted as M1, M3, and M5 were fabricated by incorporating 1, 3, and 5 wt% of the functionalized-SiO2NPs into the styrene/vinyl acetate copolymer, respectively. The effectiveness of the fabricated nanocomposite coating materials was analyzed using contact angle measurement and transmission electron and atomic force microscopies. The results showed that the highest contact angle of 161.21owas obtained by M5-nanocomposite. The highest corrosion efficiency of 99.63% was obtained at 300 ppm concentration of M5-nanocomposite-coated solution, 298 K, and 24 days.
Drip Too Hard? Commercial Rap Music and Perceived Masculinity Ideals and Actual Self-Evaluations among Black U.S. and Dutch Adolescent Men
Authors: Dankoor Kim , Stephens Dionne , Bogt Tom Ter 
Published: September 2022

AbstractPopular American commercial rap is believed to (re)produce cultural narratives of masculinity. Yet, there is no knowledge about the relationship between consumption of idealized masculinity in rap and young (Black) men’s senses of masculine selves. This study aims to explore how sixteen American and Dutch Black adolescent men perceive ideals of masculine behavior, physical appearance, and mate desirability in commercial rap. Grounded in social comparison theory, it furthermore aims to understand whether these young men compare themselves to these ideals, and if so, how this informs their self-evaluations. A (hybrid) comparative thematic analysis of interviews with eight U.S. and eight Dutch adolescents revealed three masculinity ideals to be present in rap and congruent with the majority of the respondents’ own ideals. First, it is appropriate for young men to be ‘playas’ and view (young) women as either (sexually) freaky girls or wifey material. Second, attractive men look wealthy, and, third, desirable men financially provide for their partners. The participants who endorsed these ideals and, subsequently, compared themselves to them, reported positive self-evaluations and emotions, which were believed to translate into their own behavior, appearance, and desirability. Interestingly, although the participants came from different cultural contexts, systematic differences in perception, attitude, social comparison and self-evaluation were not found. Suggestions for future research are provided and implications for intervention programs are discussed.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe present study investigates differences between gay and heterosexual Italian men regarding both social networking behaviors and addiction. Furthermore, it explores the possible mediation effects of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, fear of missing out, and physical appearance on social networking behaviors and addiction. A total of 586 Italian men (334 gay and 252 heterosexual) were recruited with snowball sampling, and they completed an online questionnaire. Results showed a significant difference between the two groups, with men who identify themselves as gay having higher levels of social networking addiction, narcissism, fear of missing out, and the importance of one’s appearance. A direct effect of sexual orientation on social networking behaviors and addiction can be seen, which is only partially mediated by the variables posed as mediators.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to determine whether the serum ferritin, the biomarker of an acute phase reactant and the gall bladder wall edema, an early indicator of capillary leakage can predict the severity of dengue fever. This study included 131 patients, who were between the age group of 18–80 years. The patients presented to our department with an acute illness, within the first four days of high temperature. The statistical analysis of this study was performed by using the Chi-square and independent Student’s t tests. The diagnostic markers are considered statistically significant, if the serum ferritin level is higher than 500 ng/ml and the gall bladder wall thickness is more than 3 mm. The present study observed that, 39 patients (89%) who had severe dengue (n = 44) revealed a significant gall bladder wall thickening, and this correlation was significant statistically (p < 0.000). It was also observed that, the ferritin levels have a highly significant positive correlation with the severity of dengue. The severe dengue patients had a mean ferritin level of 9125.34 μg/l, whereas the non-severe group had 4271 μg/l. This comparison was also statistically significant, as the p value was 0.003. We report that the serum ferritin levels have a highly significant positive correlation with the severity of dengue. The gall bladder wall edema during the third and fourth day of the illness was also associated with severe dengue. However, diffuse gall bladder wall thickening and high serum ferritin levels are also reported in various other conditions and their exact cause have to be determined by the correlation of associated clinical findings and imaging features.
Mitigating virus spread through dynamic control of community-based social interactions for infection rate and cost
Authors: Zareie Ahmad , Sakellariou Rizos 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe emergence of a new virus in a community may cause significant overload on health services and may spread out to other communities quickly. Social distancing may help reduce the infection rate within a community and prevent the spread of the virus to other communities. However, social distancing comes at a cost; how to strike a good balance between reduction in infection rate and cost of social distancing may be a challenging problem. In this paper, this problem is formulated as a bi-objective optimization problem. Assuming that in a community-based society interaction links have different capacities, the problem is how to determine link capacity to achieve a good trade-off between infection rate and the costs of social distancing restrictions. A standard epidemic model, Susceptible-Infected-Recovered, is extended to model the spread of a virus in the communities. Two methods are proposed to determine dynamically the extent of contact restriction during a virus outbreak. These methods are evaluated using two synthetic networks; the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the methods in decreasing both infection rate and social distancing cost compared to naive methods.
