Disrupting Monolingual Ideologies: Constructing Biliterate Composing Practices in a Second‐grade Classroom
Authors: Rowe Lindsey W. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractEmergent bilingual students in the U.S. often attend English‐medium schools where their bi‐ and multi‐lingual language resources are ignored and dismissed. This article draws on a social literacies perspective to explore how a second‐grade teacher and her multilingual students re‐framed one English‐medium classroom to welcome and include biliterate composing practices, in opposition to monoglossic norms. Findings illustrate moves made by a teacher to launch new biliterate writing practices, including talking about rationales, and providing invitations, support, and recognition for bilingual composing. In particular, analyses show that talking about rationales or reasons for biliterate composing was central to disrupting English‐only discourses and instead building new ways of thinking about and enacting bilingual writing. Analyses then trace intercontextual connections across events to illustrate how repeated, connected talk about these rationales over time opened spaces for students to take up bilingual composing practices. The article concludes by discussing implications for teachers and researchers who are interested in supporting emergent bilingual students’ bi‐ and multi‐lingual language use in English‐medium schools.

AbstractA series of new strontium complexes, [Sr(tmtad)(btsa)]2 (1), [Sr(ptmtad)(btsa)]2 (2), [Sr(etmtad)(btsa)]2 (3), [Sr(tmtad)(tmhd)]2 (4), [Sr(ptmtad)(tmhd)]2 (5), and [Sr(etmtad)(tmhd)]2 (6), were successfully synthesized by substitution reactions between btsa, aminoalkoxide ligands, and tmhdH (btsa=bis(trimethylsilyl) amide, tmtadH=2,5,9,12‐tetramethyl‐2,5,9,12‐tetraazatridecan‐7‐ol, ptmtadH=2,5,7,9,12‐pentamethyl‐2,5,9,12‐tetraazatridecan‐7‐ol, etmtadH=7‐ethyl‐2,5,9,12‐tetramethyl‐2,5,9,12‐tetraazatridecan‐7‐ol, tmhdH=2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐3,5‐heptanedione). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the new strontium compounds showed low residual masses (4‐11 %) where complex 4 displayed the highest volatility and thermal stability. Single crystal X‐ray study of complexes 1, 3, and 6 revealed that the respective complexes crystalize in a triclinic space group as a dimer with a hexa‐ or hepta‐coordination. Furthermore, dimethylamino nitrogen atoms of aminoalkoxide ligands are freely pendent without coordinating to the central strontium metal due to their steric hindrance on the coordination sphere. Compounds 1–6 were characterized by 1H‐ and 13C‐nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis (EA), and thermogravimetric analysis.

Published: March 2022

AbstractThis is an industrial experience report on a large semi‐automated migration of legacy test code in C and C++. The particular migration was enabled by automating most of the maintenance steps. Without automation this particular large‐scale migration would not have been conducted, due to the risks involved in manual maintenance (risk of introducing errors, risk of unexpected rework, and loss of productivity). We describe and evaluate the method of automation we used on this real‐world case. The benefits were that by automating analysis, we could make sure that we understand all the relevant details for the envisioned maintenance, without having to manually read and check our theories. Furthermore, by automating transformations we could reiterate and improve over complex and large scale source code updates, until they were “just right.” The drawbacks were that, first, we have had to learn new metaprogramming skills. Second, our automation scripts are not readily reusable for other contexts; they were necessarily developed for this ad‐hoc maintenance task. Our analysis shows that automated software maintenance as compared to the (hypothetical) manual alternative method seems to be better both in terms of avoiding mistakes and avoiding rework because of such mistakes. It seems that necessary and beneficial source code maintenance need not to be avoided, if software engineers are enabled to create bespoke (and ad‐hoc) analysis and transformation tools to support it.

Published: March 2022

AbstractConcrete is one of the most important and versatile construction materials and variation in its properties is inevitable. Mix design of concrete is done in such a way that the design compressive strength is typically higher than the actual values specified by the structural engineer. The concept of reliability has not been explicitly used in regard of calculation of compressive strength using mix design and demands attention. A design procedure based on the reliability‐based index is presented. The design procedure is developed for the concrete mix with partial replacement of cement by marble dust. The mechanical property which is the compressive strength of the concrete mix design is considered as a random variable, assumed to be lognormally distributed. The present study makes an effort to design a concrete mix in accordance to theory of confidence level for various levels of reliability. Mix design guidelines and graphs for various levels of replacement of cement by marble dust have also been presented in the study. Also, the cost analysis of various design mix proportions used has been calculated and compared. Four different cases to illustrate the performance rating in accordance with replacement levels of Marble dust have been formulated. The concrete mixes with marble dust induced in concrete had lower partial safety factors than those without inclusion. The characteristics of Marble dust incorporated concrete have been assigned numerical performance index values. These values may constitute a reliable means for concrete producers in finding the rate of cement replacement by other cementitious materials. The compressive strength of most of mixes with marble dust had a coefficient of variation and within‐test coefficient of variation value ranging between 2% and 3% and less than 1.5%, respectively. This indicates toward improvement in quality of concrete with cement partially replaced by marble dust.
Equipping all teachers to teach disciplinary language: Toward a developmental continuum in teacher education
Authors: Schall‐Leckrone Laura 
Published: March 2022

AbstractEquipping all teachers to teach multilingual learners disciplinary language— content‐specific ways of knowing through language— is an unresolved teacher education challenge. This challenge is particularly acute for teacher educators who serve general education teachers, because these teachers typically lack the specialized language preparation or multilingual skills of TESOL or bilingual educators. Accordingly, this brief article presents an emerging framework that conceptualizes how teachers can learn to teach disciplinary language, drawing from scholarship on teacher learning, pedagogical language knowledge, and language of history. Then, it illustrates how one history teacher learned to teach disciplinary language over a 9‐year period from preservice preparation and novice years to a later role as a mentor teacher. This illustrative example supports prior research suggesting three teacher learning prerequisites are essential to improve instruction for MLs: consistent focus on disciplinary literacy, inquiry into practice, and school‐university collaboration. The article concludes by proposing a developmental continuum in equipping teachers to teach disciplinary language through preservice, novice, and mastery phases with differentiated supports and opportunities. This article seeks to contribute a descriptive framework that teacher educators and researchers can pilot, study, and adapt to advance efforts to equip all teachers to teach multilingual learners disciplinary language.
The Development and Strengthening of Methods for Valuing EQ-5D-5L – An Overview
Authors: Stolk Elly , Ramos-Goñi Juan Manuel , Ludwig Kristina , Oppe Mark , Norman Richard 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe introduction of the EQ-5D-5L offered an opportunity to develop a standardised valuation protocol, the EQ-VT protocol, with improved methods for health state valuation that enables comparison of the resulting value sets between countries. This chapter summarises the process of developing and strengthening the methods for valuing EQ-5D-5L in the EQ-VT protocol which underpins the valuation studies reported in this book. This includes an overview of the methodological research programme that informed the initial EQ-VT protocol and a description of the key elements of the protocol and the included valuation techniques, i.e. composite time trade-off and discrete choice experiments. This chapter also discusses the first wave of EQ-5D-5L valuation studies which used the protocol and the resulting conclusions; the subsequent modification and strengthening of the EQ-VT protocol including a quality control procedure; and experience with use of the improved EQ-VT protocol in the subsequent waves of EQ-5D-5L valuation studies. The chapter concludes with an overview of the lessons learned during this journey of evidence-based refinement of the EQ-VT protocol from version 1.0 to the current version 2.1.

Published: March 2022

AbstractThe EQ-VT protocol for valuing the EQ-5D-5L offered the opportunity to develop a standardised experimental design to elicit EQ-5D-5L values. This chapter sets out the various aspects of the EQ-VT design and the basis on which methodological choices were made in regard to the stated preference methods used, i.e., composite time trade-off (cTTO) and discrete choice experiments (DCE). These choices include the sub-set of EQ-5D-5L health states to value using these methods; the number of cTTO and DCE valuation tasks per respondent; the minimum sample size needed; and the randomisation schema. This chapter also summarises the research studies developing and testing alternative experimental designs aimed at generating a “Lite” version of the EQ-VT design. This “Lite” version aimed to reduce the number of health states in the design, and thus the sample size, to increase the feasibility of undertaking valuation studies in countries with limited resources or recruitment possibilities. Finally, this chapter outlines remaining methodological issues to be addressed in future research, focusing on refinement of current design strategies, and identification of new designs for novel valuation approaches.
Patient Discharge Classification Based on the Hospital Treatment Process
Authors: Cremerius Jonas , König Maximilian , Warmuth Christian , Weske Mathias 
Published: March 2022

AbstractHeart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and rehospitalization in American hospitals, leading to high expenditures and increased medical risk for patients. The discharge location has a strong association with the risk of rehospitalization and mortality, which makes determining the most suitable discharge location for a patient a crucial task. So far, work regarding patient discharge classification is limited to the state of the patients at the end of the treatment, including statistical analysis and machine learning. However, the treatment process has not been considered yet. In this contribution, the methods of process outcome prediction are utilized to predict the discharge location for patients with heart failure by incorporating the patient’s department visits and measurements during the treatment process. This paper shows that, with the help of convolutional neural networks, an accuracy of 77% can be achieved for the hospital discharge classification of heart failure patients. The model has been trained and evaluated on the MIMIC-IV real-world dataset on hospitalizations in the US.
Discovering Care Pathways for Multi-morbid Patients Using Event Graphs
Authors: Naeimaei Aali Milad , Mannhardt Felix , Toussaint Pieter Jelle 
Published: March 2022

AbstractPatients suffering from multiple diseases (multi-morbid patients) often have complex clinical pathways. They are diagnosed and treated by different specialties and undergo other clinical actions related to various diagnoses. Coordination of care for these patients is often challenging, and it would be of great benefit to get better insight into how the clinical pathways develop in reality. Discovering these pathways using traditional process mining techniques and standard event logs may be difficult because the patient is involved in several highly independent clinical processes. Our objective is to explore the potential of analyzing these pathways using an event log representation reflecting the independent clinical processes. Our main research question is: How can we identify valuable insights by using a multi-entity event data representation for clinical pathways of multi-morbid patients? Our method was built on the idea to represent multiple entities in event logs as event graphs. The MIMIC-III dataset was used to evaluate the feasibility of this approach. Several clinical entities were identified and then mapped into an event graph. Finally, multi-entity directly follows graphs were discovered by querying the event graph visualizing them. Our result shows that paths involving multiple entities include traditional process mining concepts not for one clinical process but all involved processes. In addition, the relationship between activities of different clinical processes, which was not recognizable in traditional models, is visible in the event graph representation.

. Combined with other known data on charmless two body decays of anti-triplet charmed baryons, a lot of information can be derived with the assistance of SU(3) flavour symmetry. Using SU(3) relations between different decay modes, we can give some predictions based on the new measurements which can be tested with the high luminosity experiments in the future. More interestingly, we find that a global fit is now possible with the addition of new Belle data. In general, there are 18 complex SU(3) invariant amplitudes. We find that a scenario of all amplitudes being real can fit the data well with a χ2/d.o.f. only 0.773. This indicates that neglecting the phases of the amplitudes is a reasonable assumption. When more data become available, one may be able to get more information for phases in the amplitudes. We give several comments on the feature of global fit regarding the branching fractions, relations between different decays, and decays involving K0 and $$ \overline{K} $$

Many of the unknown branching fractions and polarization asymmetry parameters of anti-triplet charmed baryon for charmless two body decays are predicted to be accessible by experiments at Belle, Belle II, BES-III, and LHCb. The validity of SU(3) for charmless two body hadronic decays can be more accurately tested.
The one-loop impact of a dependent mass: the role of m3 in the C2HDM
Authors: Fontes Duarte , Romão Jorge C. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In the complex 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (C2HDM), the mass m3 of the heaviest neutral scalar h3 is usually chosen as a derived parameter. We investigate one-loop corrections to m3 and their impact on decays of h3. Very fine-tuned regions of the parameter space can be found where such corrections are large, not due to subtraction schemes, but rather due to the particular dependence of m3 on the independent parameters. We show that even moderate corrections can have a significant impact on decays of h3, as they may be several times enhanced by leading-order factors.

Abstract

Purpose
Concern is growing about long-term side effects of differentiated thyroid cancer treatment, most notably radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. However, published studies on the subject have had heterogeneous cohorts and conflicting results. This review seeks to provide an updated evaluation of published evidence, and to elucidate the risk of second primary malignancies (SPMs), especially secondary hematologic malignancies (SHMs), attributable to RAI therapy.

Methods
An extensive literature search was performed in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid MEDLINE and In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Ovid MEDLINE Epub Ahead of Print, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and PubMed. Studies regarding RAI-induced SPMs or a dose–response relationship between RAI therapy and SPMs were identified, 10 of which were eligible for the analysis. We evaluated risk of bias in each study and judged quality of evidence (QOE) across all studies using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations approach.

Results
For the outcome “SPM”, the relative effect (relative risk, hazard ratio, or odds ratio) of RAI vs. no RAI ranged from 1.14 to 1.84 across studies, but most results were not statistically significant. For the outcome “SHM”, reported relative effects ranged from 1.30 to 2.50, with 2/3 of the studies presenting statistically significant results. In 7/8 of the studies, increased risk for SPM was shown with increasing cumulative RAI activity. QOE was “very low” regarding SPM after RAI and regarding a dose–response relationship, and “low” for SHM after RAI.

Conclusion
Based on low quality evidence, an excess risk for the development of SPM cannot be excluded but is expected to be small.
Efficient Card-Based Majority Voting Protocols

Published: March 2022

AbstractCard-based cryptography is a variety of secure multiparty computation (MPC). Recently, a new technique called private operations was introduced because the protocol can be implemented with fewer cards than that by using the conventional technique called the shuffle. For example, Nakai et al. showed that if the private operations are available, secure computations of AND and OR operations for two inputs can be realized simultaneously by using four cards, and the protocol is applied to a four-card majority voting protocol with three inputs. This paper shows that only three cards are sufficient to construct a majority voting protocol with three inputs. Specifically, we propose two constructions of three-input majority voting protocols. One is a protocol assuming that players can announce their output, and the other is not allowed. Compared to Nakai et al.’s protocol, the protocol with the announcement is realized without any additional private operations and communications. On the other hand, the second construction requires two more private operations and communications because it removes the assumption on the announcement from the first construction. More importantly, the idea of the second protocol can be extended to an n-input majority voting protocol with n cards, which is the main result of this paper.
Minimising inequality in multiagent resource allocation
Authors: Schneckenburger Sebastian , Dorn Britta , Endriss Ulle 
Published: March 2022

AbstractWe analyse the problem of finding an allocation of resources in a multiagent system that is as fair as possible in terms of minimising inequality between the utility levels enjoyed by the individual agents. We use the well-known Atkinson index to measure inequality and we focus on the distributed approach to multiagent resource allocation, where new allocations emerge as the result of a sequence of local deals between groups of agents who agree on an exchange of some of the items in their possession. Our results show that it is possible to design systems that provide theoretical guarantees for optimal outcomes that minimise inequality, but also that there are significant computational hurdles to be overcome in the worst case. In particular, finding an optimal allocation is computationally intractable and under the distributed approach a large number of structurally complex deals, possibly involving many agents and items, may be required before convergence to a socially optimal allocation. This remains true even in severely restricted resource allocation scenarios where all agents have the same utility function. From a methodological point of view, while much work in multiagent resource allocation relies on combinatorial arguments, here we instead use insights from basic calculus.

Published: March 2022

AbstractWe present the simulation tools developed to aid the design phase of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) for the Very Large Telescope (VLT), exploring aspects of the system design and evaluating the performance for different design configurations. CUBES aims to be the ‘ultimate’ ultraviolet (UV) instrument at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in terms of throughput, with the goal to cover the bluest part of the spectrum accessible from the ground (300 nm to 400 nm) with the highest possible efficiency. Here we introduce the End-to-End (E2E) and the Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) tools. The E2E simulator has been developed with different versions to meet the needs of different users, including a version that can be accessed for use by the broader scientific community using a Jupyter notebook. The E2E tool was used by the system team to help define the Phase A baseline design of the instrument, as well as in scientific evaluation of a possible low-resolution mode. The ETC is a web-based tool through which the science community are able to test a range of science cases for CUBES, demonstrating its potential to push the limiting magnitude for the detection of specific UV-features, such as abundance estimates of beryllium in main-sequence stars.
