Authors: Dieteren C. M. , Bonfrer I. , Brouwer W. B. F. , van Exel J. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
Worldwide obesity rates have nearly tripled over the past five decades. So far, policies to promote a healthier diet have been less intrusive than those to reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption. Not much is known about public support for policies that aim to promote a healthy diet. In this study, a discrete choice experiment (DCE) was used to elicit stated preferences for policies varying in intrusiveness among a representative sample of the public of The Netherlands.

Methods
The choice tasks presented respondents a hypothetical scenario of two policy packages, each comprising a mix of seven potential policies that differed in level of intrusiveness. We estimated mixed logit models (MXL) to estimate respondents’ preferences for these policies and performed latent class analyses to identify heterogeneity in preferences.

Results
The MXL model showed that positive financial incentives like subsidies for vegetables and fruit yielded most utility. A tax of 50% on sugary drinks was associated with disutility while a tax of 20% was associated with positive utility compared to no tax at all. We identified three subgroups with distinct preferences for the seven policies to promote a healthy diet, which were characterized as being “against”, “mixed” and “pro” policies to promote a healthy diet.

Conclusion
Preferences for policies promoting a healthy diet vary considerably in the Dutch population, particularly in relation to more intrusive policies. This makes selection and implementation of a policy package that has wide public support challenging.

Published: November 2022

AbstractDue to their reduced morphology, non-photosynthetic plants have been one of the most challenging groups to delimit to species level. The mycoheterotrophic genus Monotropastrum, with the monotypic species M. humile, has been a particularly taxonomically challenging group, owing to its highly reduced vegetative and root morphology. Using integrative species delimitation, we have focused on Japanese Monotropastrum, with a special focus on an unknown taxon with rosy pink petals and sepals. We investigated its flowering phenology, morphology, molecular identity, and associated fungi. Detailed morphological investigation has indicated that it can be distinguished from M. humile by its rosy pink tepals and sepals that are generally more numerous, elliptic, and constantly appressed to the petals throughout its flowering period, and by its obscure root balls that are unified with the surrounding soil, with root tips that hardly protrude. Based on genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms, molecular data has provided clear genetic differentiation between this unknown taxon and M. humile. Monotropastrum humile and this taxon are associated with different Russula lineages, even when they are sympatric. Based on this multifaceted evidence, we describe this unknown taxon as the new species M. kirishimense. Assortative mating resulting from phenological differences has likely contributed to the persistent sympatry between these two species, with distinct mycorrhizal specificity.

Published: November 2022

AbstractWe assessed the association of area-based socio-economic status (SES) measures with tuberculosis (TB) incidence in California. We used TB disease data for 2012–2016 (n = 9901), population estimates, and SES measures to calculate incidence rates, rate ratios, and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) by SES and birth country. SES was measured by census tract and was categorized by quartiles for education, crowding, and the California Healthy Places Index (HPI)and by specific cutoffs for poverty. The lowest SES areas defined by education, crowding, poverty, and HPI had 39%, 40%, 41%, and 33% of TB cases respectively. SES level was inversely associated with TB incidence across all SES measures and birth countries. TB rates were 3.2 (95% CI 3.0–3.4), 2.1 (95% CI 1.9–2.2), 3.6 (95% CI 3.3–3.8), and 2.0 (95% CI 1.9–2.1) times higher in lowest SES areas vs. highest SES areas as defined by education, crowding, poverty and HPI respectively. Area-based SES measures are associated with TB incidence in California. This information could inform TB prevention efforts in terms of materials, partnerships, and prioritization.

Published: November 2022

AbstractReproducible builds (R-Bs) are software engineering practices that reliably create bit-for-bit identical binary executable files from specified source code. R-Bs are applied in some open source software (OSS) projects and distributions to allow verification that the distributed binary has been built from the released source code. The use of R-Bs has been advocated in software maintenance and R-Bs are applied in the development of some OSS security applications. Nonetheless, industry application of R-Bs appears limited, and we seek to understand whether awareness is low or if significant technical and business reasons prevent wider adoption. Through interviews with software practitioners and business managers, this study explores the utility of applying R-Bs in businesses in the primary and secondary software sectors and the business and technical reasons supporting their adoption. We find businesses use R-Bs in the safety-critical and security domains, and R-Bs are valuable for traceability and support collaborative software development. We also found that R-Bs are valued as engineering processes and are seen as a badge of software quality, but without a tangible value proposition. There are good engineering reasons to use R-Bs in industrial software development, and the principle of establishing correspondence between source code and binary offers opportunities for the development of further applications.

Abstract
During epidemics, the estimation of the effective reproduction number (ERN) associated with infectious disease is a challenging topic for policy development and medical resource management. The emergence of new viral variants is common in widespread pandemics including the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A simple approach is required toward an appropriate and timely policy decision for understanding the potential ERN of new variants is required for policy revision. We investigated time-averaged mobility at transit stations as a surrogate to correlate with the ERN using the data from three urban prefectures in Japan. The optimal time windows, i.e., latency and duration, for the mobility to relate with the ERN were investigated. The optimal latency and duration were 5–6 and 8 days, respectively (the Spearman’s ρ was 0.109–0.512 in Tokyo, 0.365–0.607 in Osaka, and 0.317–0.631 in Aichi). The same linear correlation was confirmed in Singapore and London. The mobility-adjusted ERN of the Alpha variant was 15–30%, which was 20–40% higher than the original Wuhan strain in Osaka, Aichi, and London. Similarly, the mobility-adjusted ERN of the Delta variant was 20%–40% higher than that of the Wuhan strain in Osaka and Aichi. The proposed metric would be useful for the proper evaluation of the infectivity of different SARS-CoV-2 variants in terms of ERN as well as the design of the forecasting system.
Family oblige: the link between CSR and succession intention in small and medium family firms
Authors: Stübner Andrea , Jarchow Svenja 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis study investigates how family continuation, namely family tradition and succession intention, alter the socially responsible behavior of small and medium sized (SME) family firms. Using a unique dataset, we have conducted multiple regressions on survey data from German family SMEs and show a statistically and economically significant increase in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) alongside the planning of family succession. However, when analyzing the different facets of CSR, we have found strong variances: While succession intention goes along with an increased community, market, and supply chain engagement this is not the case for CSR directed towards employees, or the environment. Family tradition didn’t correlate with a change in CSR behaviour to a relevant extent. In our theoretical embedding we employed socio-emotional wealth (SEW) theory to explain our findings. Thereby, our study fills a gap in the literature adding the perspective of SME family firms on the use of CSR in the context of family succession and also adding to the theoretical understanding of SEW.
Source orientation, anthropomorphism, and social presence in human-chatbot communication: how to proceed with these concepts
Authors: van der Goot Margot J. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractSource orientation, anthropomorphism, and social presence are three concepts that play a pivotal role in present-day research on users’ responses to communication with chatbots. However, there are also problems regarding the three conceptualizations and the related measurements. Therefore, the present qualitative interview study analyzes users’ perceptions of their interactions with chatbots through the lens of source orientation, anthropomorphism as well as social presence, in order to unravel how these three concepts can help to understand human-chatbot communication—each in their unique ways. Interviews were conducted with a sample (N = 24) that was varied in terms of gender, age, educational level and household composition. Findings are presented for source orientation, anthropomorphism, and social presence, and the discussion elaborates on the theoretical and methodological implications.
The evolution of private medical expenses for civil servants in Germany
Authors: Ortmann Karl Michael 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn this study we analyse private medical insurance data with respect to civil servants in Germany. This data is applied to pricing purposes in the market and may therefore be deemed as useful. In particular, we discuss average health care expenditure per capita by age over time. Thereby, we analyse inpatient and outpatient benefits as well as hospital cash and dental insurance. In essence, we observe an effect that we call the rectangularisation of the cumulative health care expenditure curve. In line with this finding, we note that the modal age (at which total medical expenses for in force business are highest) has increased by 10 years of age over the last decade with respect to inpatient benefits. Moreover, we apply a linear regression model based on mortality rates as regressor. We use the Siegel test for comparing different expenditure profiles and judging goodness of fit. As a result, we find that steepening of private medical expenses by age over time is prevalent for three out of four benefit types in certain age bands. As for outpatient claims provided to male civil servants, medicalisation dominates the evolution of the average claim amount by attained age over time. On the other hand, compression is of relatively high importance for inpatient claims.
Oxygen vacancy-mediated WO3 phase junction to steering photogenerated charge separation for enhanced water splitting

Published: November 2022

AbstractEffective charge separation and transfer is deemed to be the contributing factor to achieve high photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting performance on photoelectrodes. Building a phase junction structure with controllable phase transition of WO3 can further improve the photocatalytic performance. In this work, we realized the transition from orthorhombic to monoclinic by regulating the annealing temperatures, and constructed an orthorhombic-monoclinic WO3 (o-WO3/m-WO3) phase junction. The formation of oxygen vacancies causes an imbalance of the charge distribution in the crystal structure, which changes the W-O bond length and bond angle, accelerating the phase transition. As expected, an optimum PEC activity was achieved over the o-WO3/m-WO3 phase junction in WO3-450 photoelectrode, yielding the maximum O2 evolution rate roughly 32 times higher than that of pure WO3-250 without any sacrificial agents under visible light irradiation. The enhancement of catalytic activity is attributed to the atomically smooth interface with a highly matched lattice and robust built-in electric field around the phase junction, which leads to a less-defective and abrupt interface and provides a smooth interfacial charge separation and transfer path, leading to improved charge separation and transfer efficiency and a great enhancement in photocatalytic activity. This work strikes out on new paths in the formation of an oxygen vacancy-induced phase transition and provides new ideas for the design of catalysts.
CEO Transformational Leadership, Supply Chain Agility and Firm Performance: A TISM Modeling among SMEs
Authors: Prabhu H. Mahesh , Srivastava Amit Kumar 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article aims to present an approach to enhance the firm performance of SMEs by understanding the dynamics between the elements of the transformational leadership style of the CEO and the agility of the supply network. The business environment among SMEs is marked by fierce rivalry, quick change, and tremendous instability. While an agile supply chain is seen as a winning option for manufacturing SMEs, a transformational leadership style of the CEO can be a source of competitive advantage to improve their performance. Thus, an attempt has been made to integrate transformational leadership and supply chain agility elements and delineate their structural relationship using the total interpretive structural modeling method. Results indicate that transformational leaders drive agile initiatives in the supply chain by setting and communicating a vision, encouraging supply chain members to think of innovative solutions for problems, and mentoring them individually to achieve high-performance standards. These practices will make the team members put in extra effort to accomplish the task, thereby establishing a committed and flexible workforce. Conclusions are drawn, and implications are discussed for enhancing firm performance.

Published: November 2022

Abstract To face the challenges raised by the qualification of metallic additively manufactured (AM) complex shaped and rough finish parts, non-destructive testing (NDT) volumetric methods are required. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is presently the favored technique; however, alternative methods are needed to overcome the requirement of technical skills and the high cost of the technique. XCT also has limitations regarding the size and density of parts. Here, we propose an easy to use, fast, and efficient global NDT volumetric method based on resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) which basic principle relies on the comparative analysis of natural resonant frequency spectra of similar parts from the same family, both of which vibrating as free as possible. The methods have already proven to have the ability to sort parts with defects from flawless parts. In the present study, we demonstrate that RUS can also segregate metallic parts manufactured with different AM system process parameters. Eleven sets of three parts were manufactured, using a metal laser-powder bed fusion process, with different wall thicknesses, laser powers, scanning speeds, and scanning strategies. These parts were tested by RUS and then analyzed using the Z-score statistical method. The AM process parameter changes clearly influenced the resonance responses of the parts, and thus, the method is able to classify the different groups of parts according to their process parameters. Hence, the RUS methods can provide industries convenient tools to not only identify defective parts but to also configure AM machine parameters according to the expected and desired material properties.
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance of the skin of the breast: A case study and review of the literature
Authors: Omranipour Ramesh , Maghsoudi Leila Haji , Alipour Sadaf 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Introduction and importance
DFSP is a soft tissue sarcoma that originates from dermal fibroblasts, that usually occurs in trunk or extremities and can invade the subcutaneous tissue. It rarely occurs in the breast with an incidence of 0.8–4.5% % per million population. It usually presents as a firm, well-defined, mobile, nontender mass. The diagnosis is confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. The recommended treatment is wide local excision. Adjuvant radiotherapy or imatinib should be considered in special cases. The recurrence-free survival and overall survival are good.

Case presentation
In this study, we present a 48-year-old woman with a growing tumor in her left breast.

Clinical discussion
The patient underwent breast-conserving surgery and reconstruction.

Conclusion
The diagnosis of DFSP was confirmed after a precise histological assessment.

AbstractLet$(M,g)$be a closed Riemannian$4$-manifold and letEbe a vector bundle overMwith structure groupG, whereGis a compact Lie group. We consider a new higher order Yang–Mills–Higgs functional, in which the Higgs field is a section of$\Omega ^0(\text {ad}E)$. We show that, under suitable conditions, solutions to the gradient flow do not hit any finite time singularities. In the case thatEis a line bundle, we are able to use a different blow-up procedure and obtain an improvement of the long-time result of Zhang [‘Gradient flows of higher order Yang–Mills–Higgs functionals’,J. Aust. Math. Soc.113(2022), 257–287]. The proof relies on properties of the Green function, which is very different from the previous techniques.
A modelling framework for efficient reduced order simulations of parametrised lithium-ion battery cells
Authors: Landstorfer M. , Ohlberger M. , Rave S. , Tacke M. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn this contribution, we present a modelling and simulation framework for parametrised lithium-ion battery cells. We first derive a continuum model for a rather general intercalation battery cell on the basis of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In order to efficiently evaluate the resulting parameterised non-linear system of partial differential equations, the reduced basis method is employed. The reduced basis method is a model order reduction technique on the basis of an incremental hierarchical approximate proper orthogonal decomposition approach and empirical operator interpolation. The modelling framework is particularly well suited to investigate and quantify degradation effects of battery cells. Several numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the scope and efficiency of the modelling framework.

Published: November 2022

Abstract: The utilization of psychotherapy for home-living, vulnerable older adults with depression is limited. Understanding patients’ motivation is essential to tailoring psychotherapy to their needs and improving therapeutical efficacy. Based on cross-sectional data obtained from a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial (PSY-CARE study), this study investigated general intake concerns (ICs) and patients’ treatment goals (PTG) of home-living older adults with depression. Data on ICs ( N = 251 older adults interested in participation) were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Data on PTGs ( N = 86 participants receiving psychotherapy) were analyzed quantitatively. Main ICs included reducing depressive symptoms and coping with new (health) situations. PTGs focused on coping with health problems and age-related losses. The results provide clinicians with valuable insights into motivational factors in this vulnerable and hard-to-reach population.

AbstractThe water‐energy‐food (WEF) nexus is a prominent approach for addressing today's sustainable development challenges. In our critical appraisal of the WEF, covering different approaches, drivers, enablers, and applications, we emphasize the situation across the Global South (Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean). Here, WEF research covers at least 23 focal domains. We find that the nexus is still a maturing paradigm primarily rooted in a physical and natural sciences framing, which is itself embedded in a neoliberal securities narrative. While providing insights and tools to address the systemic interdependencies between resource sectors whose exploitation, degradation, and sub‐optimal management contribute to (un)sustainable development, there is still insufficient engagement with social, political, and economic dimensions. Progress related to climate, urbanization, and resource consumption is encouraging, but while governance and finance are central enablers of current and future nexus systems, gaps remain in relation to implementation and operationalization. Harnessing the nexus for sustainable development across the Global South means recognizing that it is more than a biophysical system, but also a multi‐scale complex of people, institutions, and infrastructure, affected by history and context. Addressing this complexity requires alternative and possibly challenging perspectives to counter dominant narratives, and manage problems associated with policy integration, trade‐offs, and winners and losers. We outline 10 emergent research areas that we think can contribute to this endeavor and enable the nexus to be a stronger policy force.
