An invisible man, a double agent, and a five‐tool player: Three issues for the Chief Restructuring Officer in Korean corporate reorganization procedures
Authors: Chung Jae Yup , Lee Byoung Kyu 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) system in Korea was introduced in 2011 after the Debtor Reorganization Act adopted the Debtor‐in‐Possession (DIP) system in 2006. However, the introduction of the CRO system in Korea, which was based on the American system, was problematic due to the lack of legal grounds, the vagueness of its legal status, and the complexity of its roles. This article explores the emerging issues related to the status and roles of a CRO in the Korean corporate‐reorganization procedure. Three major issues are analyzed: lack of legal ground and its codification (“Invisible Man”), the dual legal status of being a debtor's adviser and creditors' protector (“Double Agent”), and the expansion of the CRO's roles (“Five‐Tool Players”). This research also sketches the legal landscape of corporate reorganization practice in Korea. It provides some possible suggestions to foster the chances for debtor rehabilitation through improved operation of the CRO system.

AbstractCrohn's disease (CD) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) are two inflammatory diseases sharing many common features (genetic polymorphism, armamentarium). Both diseases lack diagnostic markers of certainty. While the diagnosis of CD is made by a combination of clinical, and biological criteria, the diagnosis of SpA may take several years to be confirmed. Based on the hypothesis that CD and SpA alter the biochemical profile of plasma, the objective of this study was to evaluate the analytical capability of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in identifying spectral biomarkers. Plasma from 104 patients was analyzed. After data processing of the spectra by Extended Multiplicative Signal Correction and linear discriminant analysis, we demonstrated that it was possible to distinguish CD and SpA from controls with an accuracy of 97% and 85% respectively. Spectral differences were mainly associated with proteins and lipids. This study showed that FTIR analysis is efficient to identify plasma biosignatures specific to CD or SpA.

AbstractThe generation and manipulation of vector light fields are of great significance for both fundamental research and industrial applications of polarized optics. In recent years, the spatial domain control of structured vector fields has gradually expanded from two‐ to three‐dimensional, including traditional optics and meta‐optics. Here, a new method to generate and manipulate structured vector light fields along the propagation direction is proposed, and the functionality in terahertz band using all‐silicon metasurfaces is demonstrated. The coherent superposition of orthogonal circularly polarized terahertz waves through long focal depth and multifocal metalens is completed, and varying phase differences between them in the propagation direction via path accumulation or initial phase design are introduced, thereby continuous variation or independently designed vector polarization distributions in multiple planes are obtained. It is worth mentioning that the proposed scheme is not only for the design of transverse electric field components, but also shows a strong ability for manipulation of the longitudinal component. This scheme realizes the polarization distribution designs of three‐dimensional vector fields in three‐dimensional space, and provides a new inspiration for the generation and manipulation of vector beams based on meta‐optics.
Frontiers and laggards: Which firms benefit from adopting advanced digital technologies?
Authors: Oh Inha , Kim Jungho 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis study examines how adopting advanced digital technologies (ADTs) affects a firm's performance indicators, such as growth in sales, labor productivity, and export, by analyzing Korean firms' panel data. This study finds that the effect of adopting ADTs on firm performance depends on the productivity level, performance types, and technology combination. The effect of adopting ADTs on sales growth has a U‐shaped relationship with the firm's productivity level. Moreover, in the frontier group, multiple technology adopters obtain higher rates of sales and significant export growth compared to single technology adopters.
Transzonal projections: Essential structures mediating intercellular communication in the mammalian ovarian follicle
Authors: Clarke Hugh J. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe development of germ cells relies on contact and communication with neighboring somatic cells that provide metabolic support and regulatory signals. In females, contact is achieved through thin cytoplasmic processes that project from follicle cells surrounding the oocyte, extend through an extracellular matrix (ECM) that lies between them, and reach its surface. In mammals, the ECM is termed the zona pellucida and the follicular cell processes are termed transzonal projections (TZPs). TZPs become detectable when the zona pellucida is laid down during early folliculogenesis and subsequently increase in number as oocyte growth progresses. They then rapidly disappear at the time of ovulation, permanently breaking germ‐soma contact. Here we review the life cycle and functions of the TZPs. We begin with an overview of the morphology and cytoskeletal structure of TZPs, in the context of actin‐ and tubulin‐based cytoplasmic processes in other cell types. Next, we review the roles played by TZPs in mediating progression through successive stages of oocyte development. We then discuss two mechanisms that may generate TZPs—stretching at pre‐existing points of granulosa cell‐oocyte contact and elaboration of new processes that push through the zona pellucida—as well as gene products implicated in their formation or function. Finally, we describe the signaling pathways that cause TZPs to be retracted in response to signals that also trigger meiotic maturation and ovulation of the oocyte. The principles and mechanisms that govern TZP behavior may be relevant to understanding communication between physically separated cells in other physiological contexts.

AbstractAs our world constantly changes, technology provides a platform for a type of evolution around how we live, work, and experience it. Day to day, these changes may not be so evident, but look across generations at the ways our parents and grandparents conducted business and interacted. Now look at how young adults work and what their expectations of technology have become. We're achieving a level of integration with the digital world in a way that was imagined only in science fiction books a couple of generations ago.
Financial worry in people with cancer: Relationship to employment and outcomes
Authors: Jones Salene M. W. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundPeople with cancer experience financial hardship. Most previous research has focused on material financial burden rather than financial worry. This study investigated employment predictors of financial worry and examined outcomes potentially affected by financial worry.MethodsData from the 2018 National Health Interview Study was used and limited to people diagnosed with cancer and having complete data on relevant variables (n = 2049). Preliminary analyses indicated three dimensions of financial worry: healthcare; lifestyle; and basic needs. Outcomes included cost‐related nonadherence, and presence of depressive symptoms and anxiety. Multivariable regressions examined the association of financial worry with cost‐related nonadherence and mental health and employment characteristics (paid hourly; sick leave; employer size) with financial worry while controlling for demographics.ResultsMean age was 68.10 years (range: 20–85), and most had skin (33.6%), prostate (12.5%) or breast (21.4%) cancer. Hourly pay predicted more financial worry about affording healthcare (p < 0.001), basic needs (p < 0.001) and lifestyle (p < 0.001). Having paid sick leave predicted less worry about basic needs (p = 0.003). Worry about affording healthcare predicted more cost‐related nonadherence (p < 0.001) even when controlling for other variables associated with financial hardship. Worry about lifestyle (p = 0.193) and basic needs (p = 0.688) were not associated with cost‐related nonadherence. Worry about lifestyle (p < 0.001) predicted depression. Worry about affording healthcare (p = 0.042) and lifestyle (p < 0.001) predicted anxiety.ConclusionsResearch is needed to determine the value of financial worry screening, particularly about affording healthcare, as well as material financial hardship. Financial worry should be included as an outcome in policy evaluations and interventions for financial hardship.

Published: September 2022

AbstractAs the number of diabetics increases yearly and diabetic ulcer is the most concerned diabetic complication, it is of great urgency to develop a novel multifunctional material with high efficiency to promote diabetic wound healing. In this paper, ceria (CeO2)‐modified upconversion nanoparticles which loaded in polycaprolactone membranes were successfully prepared as a ceria‐based wound dressing for chronic wound healing. In this system, near‐infrared (NIR) light is used as a switch to control the photodynamic antibacterial therapy by converting the NIR photons into ultraviolet light, which can further trigger CeO2 to produce reactive oxygen species. In addition, the well‐known antioxidant ability of CeO2 endows the wound dressing with prominent capability to resist the oxidative stress around chronic wounds. In summary, both photodynamic antibacterial therapy and good antioxidant property are realized simultaneously in this CeO2‐based system to promote the healing of diabetic chronic wounds.
Recurrent ulcerative necrotising stomatitis in two dogs with concurrent steroid‐responsive chronic rhinitis and suspected underlying oral vasculitis

Published: September 2022

AbstractA 2‐year‐old, entire, female springer spaniel and an 8‐year‐old, entire, male Scottish terrier were referred for recurrent, multifocal, oral necrotic ulcers with pseudomembrane and nasal discharge. Histopathologic examination of biopsies described chronic ulcerative necrotising stomatitis and chronic neutrophilic and, eosinophilic or plasmacytic, rhinitis. Management with immunosuppressive agents resulted in temporary remission of the presenting lesions. Both dogs were eventually euthanized due to the painful and recurrent nature of the condition.

AbstractUndesired vibration is a common issue when dealing with manufacturing machines, especially when dealing with thin structures. To decrease the external disturbance sensitivity of such systems, represented for example by machine tool quill, the auxiliary cable structure is attached to the system. The auxiliary cable structure increases system damping and decreases undesired structure vibrations by the passive or active way, depending on the deployment and purpose. In this article, cables are attached to the end-effector to suppress undesired vibrations and related experimental stand is prepared. Experimental stand parameters are identified using least square method. The control strategy using pole placement is presented and its suitability is verified using external disturbance force. The frequency analysis shows the promising behaviour of controlled cable structure attached to the original system as well as the experimental results.

Abstract

Objectives

To examine the serum irisin level in a group of Behcet’s disease patients, its association with illness parameters, and its utility in diagnosing subclinical atherosclerosis.

Methods
This randomized case–control study included 50 patients and 50 age- and sex-matched controls. Carotid Doppler ultrasound for the measurement of the carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) were performed. A clinical evaluation, lipogram, and serum irisin were also performed.

Results
Between the patients and the control group, there was a significant difference in CIMT, S. irisin level, and ankle-brachial pressure index; however, gender and BMI did not significantly affect CIMT, ABPI, or S. irisin level. CIMT demonstrated a substantial negative correlation with both S. irisin and ABPI (r =  − 0.62, P 0.0001).
With a sensitivity of up to 94.30% and a specificity of 93.30%, the ROC analysis revealed that a decrease in S. irisin level in Behcet’s patients was indicative of subclinical atherosclerosis. The drop in the ABPI level demonstrated a sensitivity of up to 94.30% and a specificity of 100%.

Conclusion
Subclinical atherosclerosis is prevalent among Egyptian Behcet’s patients, and S. irisin can be employed as a biomarker for diagnosing subclinical atherosclerosis in Behcet’s illness.

Key Points• Serum irisin has been studied in numerous autoimmune disorders as a marker for subclinical atherosclerosis, although its importance in Behcet’s disease remains unclear (BD).• We examined the change in serum irisin levels in Behcet’s disease patients and healthy controls. In addition, its association with carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and ankle-brachial pressure index was investigated (ABPI).• Changes in serum irisin levels are significant in BD, and a decrease in irisin level indicates subclinical atherosclerosis.
Angespannter Arbeitsmarkt — Arbeitskräftemangel nach Corona
Authors:   ZG Überblick
Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungNicht zuletzt durch die Verwerfungen der Coronapandemie ist die Lage derzeit in vielen Branchen angespannt. So sind fehlende Arbeitskräfte vor allem in der Gastronomie, an Flughäfen, in der Pflege und im Handwerk ein Problem. In Summe gab es im ersten Quartal 2022 insgesamt 1,7 Mio. offene Stellen, ein Höchstwert. Ursächlich ist dafür zum einen die Situation, dass sich viele Beschäftigte aufgrund von unsicheren Arbeitsverhältnissen während der Pandemie in andere Branchen umorientiert haben. Das gilt auch für Jobs in der Pflege, die besonderen Belastungen ausgesetzt waren und sind. Eine weitere Ursache ist die Demografie. Es kommen weniger junge Arbeitskräfte nach und die Arbeitsmigration kann nur einen Teil dieser Lücke schließen. Es stellt sich die Frage, wie der Staat auf diesen Arbeitskräftemangel reagieren kann und in welcher Frist die entsprechenden Maßnahmen greifen können.
Unveil the unseen: Exploit information hidden in noise
Authors: Zviazhynski Bahdan , Conduit Gareth 
Published: September 2022

AbstractNoise and uncertainty are usually the enemy of machine learning, noise in training data leads to uncertainty and inaccuracy in the predictions. However, we develop a machine learning architecture that extracts crucial information out of the noise itself to improve the predictions. The phenomenology computes and then utilizes uncertainty in one target variable to predict a second target variable. We apply this formalism to PbZr0.7Sn0.3O3 crystal, using the uncertainty in dielectric constant to extrapolate heat capacity, correctly predicting a phase transition that otherwise cannot be extrapolated. For the second example – single-particle diffraction of droplets – we utilize the particle count together with its uncertainty to extrapolate the ground truth diffraction amplitude, delivering better predictions than when we utilize only the particle count. Our generic formalism enables the exploitation of uncertainty in machine learning, which has a broad range of applications in the physical sciences and beyond.
Analytical-mechanical based framework for seismic overall fragility analysis of existing RC buildings in town compartments
Authors: Ruggieri Sergio , Calò Mirko , Cardellicchio Angelo , Uva Giuseppina 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe paper presents an analytical-mechanical based procedure to estimate the seismic overall fragility of existing reinforced concrete building portfolios in town compartments, as reduced areas of a municipality. The proposed methodology is based on two main concepts: (a) to consider all typological parameters characterizing the entire set of buildings located in a certain urban area and their variability through an analytical procedure; (b) to employ a mechanical approach by means of ideal numerical models to estimate the safety level of the focused sample of buildings. Hence, the methodology allows to compute seismic overall fragility curves, obtained by using laws of total variance and expectation and weighing factors proportional to the probability of having a certain configuration of typological parameters with determined values. To test the proposed procedure, some town compartments of the municipality of Bisceglie, Puglia, Southern Italy, were investigated by firstly identifying the most recurrent typological features exploiting multisource data, after by elaborating an extensive campaign of modelling and analysis on different ideal buildings (herein named realizations) and finally by computing fragility curves for each realization and for the set of ideal buildings. The results show overall fragilities curves for the investigated town compartments, which are obtained in a different way from the existing procedures, by avoiding an a-priori selection of one or more index buildings to represent the specific building portfolio and the definition of a specific building taxonomy.
Identifying the BRCA1 c.-107A > T variant in Dutch patients with a tumor BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation

Published: September 2022

AbstractAn inherited single nucleotide variant (SNV) in the 5′UTR of the BRCA1 gene c.-107A > T was identified to be related to BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation and a hereditary breast and ovarian cancer phenotype in two UK families. We investigated whether this BRCA1 variant was also present in a Dutch cohort of breast and ovarian cancer patients with tumor BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation. We selected all breast and ovarian cancer cases that tested positive for tumor BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation at the Netherlands Cancer Institute and Sanger sequenced the specific mutation in the tumor DNA. In total, we identified 193 tumors with BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation in 178 unique patients. The wild-type allele was identified in 100% (193/193) of sequenced tumor samples. In a large cohort of 178 patients, none had tumors harboring the previously identified c.-107A > T SNV in BRCA1. We therefore can conclude that the germline SNV is not pervasive in patients with tumor BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation.
Too stupid for PhD? Doctoral impostor syndrome among Finnish PhD students
Authors: Nori Hanna , Vanttaja Markku 
Published: September 2022

AbstractImpostor syndrome (IS) refers to the inner speech of self-doubt and the belief that you are not as competent as others perceive you to be. The university can be considered a work environment prone to IS, especially because of the requirements of present higher education and science policy, which emphasizes continuous evaluation, a competitive spirit, and a focus on performance and excellence. It is therefore understandable that many doctoral students have begun to experience inadequacy and uncertainty during their postgraduate studies. This study focuses on the prevalence of IS among Finnish PhD students (n = 1694). In particular, attention is paid to the background factors in which experiences of uncertainty and attitudes related to IS are linked. Theoretically, we interpret IS as a phenomenon related to the habitus formed through an individual’s life experiences and the inner speech associated with it. Based on the results of the linear regression analysis, the lack of encouragement in childhood and a low level of planning when applying for doctoral studies explain the emergence of IS in a statistically significant manner.
