Several key issues for CCUS development in China targeting carbon neutrality
Authors: Jiutian Zhang , Zhiyong Wang , Jia-Ning Kang , Xiangjing Song , Dong Xu 
Published: May 2022

AbstractCarbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), as a technology with large-scale emission reduction potential, has been widely developed all over the world. In China, CCUS development achieved fruitful outcomes. CCUS gained further broad attention from the announcement of the carbon neutrality target by 2060, as CCUS is an indispensable important technology to realize carbon neutrality. It helps not only to build zero-emission and more resilient energy and industry systems but also provides negative emission potential. This paper discusses the new demand for carbon capture, utilization, and storage development brought by the carbon neutrality target analyzes the development status. As there remain various challenges of CCUS development, this paper focuses on several key issues for CCUS development in China targeting carbon neutrality: 1) how to reposition the role of CCUS under the carbon neutral target? 2) how shall we understand the technology development status and the costs? 3) what role shall utilization and storage play in future? 4) potential strategy applied to solve challenges of source-sink mismatch and resources constraints; and 5) new business model that suits large scale deployment of CCUS. This paper puts forward several policy suggestions that should be focused on now in China, especially to raise awareness under the vision of carbon neutrality that the role and contribution of CCUS are different, to accelerate the establishment of a comprehensive and systematic enabling environment for CCUS.
Undergraduate and Instructor Perspectives on Learning in First-Year Mathematics Courses in the United States: A Case Study in Calculus
Authors: Hauk Shandy , Hsu Pao-sheng 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis paper reports on post-secondary student and instructor perceptions of teaching practices they see as supporting student success in calculus. The study used a mixed-methods design, combining survey, classroom observation, and interviews. Analysis identified two central clusters of survey response, each aligned with one of two well-specified aspects of self-regulation: coping intention or learning intention. In the coping intention factor, students sought supports to reduce uncertainty, such as having precise instructions and predictable question types on tests. Interview analysis offered insight into ways of coping in situations that students experienced as high-stakes—where the goal of self-regulation was to survive. The learning intention factor included student reports on knowledge of the prerequisite mathematics for the course and assertions that they had responsibility for their learning (rather than assigning it to the instructor). Interviews shed light on how students managed responsibility and motivation in the context of being challenged in mathematics learning. Implications for future research and for instruction attend to the complex dynamics of cognition, affect, motivation, and regulation in the teaching and learning of calculus.
Lost in machine translation: The promises and pitfalls of machine translation for multilingual group work in global health education

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe rapid adoption of online technologies to deliver postsecondary education amid the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the potential for online learning, as well as important equity gaps to be addressed. For over ten years, McMaster University has delivered graduate global health education through a blended-learning approach. In partnership with universities in the Netherlands, India, Thailand, Norway, Colombia, and Sudan, experts from across the Consortium deliver lectures online to students around the world. In 2020, two courses were piloted with small groups of students from Canada and Colombia using machine translation supported by bilingual tutors. Students met weekly via video conferencing software, speaking in English and Spanish and relying on machine translation software to transcribe and translate for group members. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with students, tutors, and instructors to explore how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to integrate multilingual group work into course offerings, challenging the dominant use of English as the principal language of instruction in global health education. Findings highlight the potential for machine translation to bridge language divides, while also underscoring several key limitations of currently available technology. Further research is needed to investigate the potential for machine translation in facilitating multilingual online education as a pathway to more equitable and inclusive online learning environments.
Does it Matter Who You Feel Sexually Aroused By? Associations Between Sexual Arousal, Relationship Quality, and Sexual Satisfaction
Authors: Lawless Nicholas J. , Karantzas Gery C. , Mullins Ellie R. , McCabe Marita P. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract

Background
Despite its integral role in normative sexual functioning, there is a dearth of research into the role of subjective sexual arousal within romantic relationships.

Aim
The current proof-of-concept study addresses this gap by investigating the associations between partner-induced sexual arousal, sexual arousal induced by others, and sexual satisfaction and relationship quality.

Methods
One hundred and sixteen heterosexual couples who had been together for an average of three and a half years completed an online survey. An Actor-Partner Interdependence Modelling framework was applied to analyze the dyadic data.

Outcomes
Participants completed the Perceived Relationship Quality Components (PRQC) Inventory and a single item global measure of sexual satisfaction derived for the current study.

Results
Feeling sexually aroused by one's romantic partner was positively associated with one's own sexual satisfaction and relationship quality. However, feeling sexually aroused by people other than one's romantic partner was negatively associated with one's own sexual satisfaction and relationship quality. These associations were found for both men and women.

Clinical Translation
Therapists and practitioners may need to place an emphasis on using strategies and techniques that specifically facilitate or heighten partner-induced sexual arousal, whilst helping couples to move away from those behaviors and situations which typically lead to sexual arousal induced by those other than their partner.

Strengths & Limitations
This proof-of-concept study provides novel findings that address the absence of research investigating the associations between sexual arousal and outcomes in romantic relationships. The well-powered dyadic study design enabled a rigorous test of the hypotheses. However, the study was cross-sectional in nature, the sample was somewhat homogenous, and assessments included brief measures of sexual arousal and sexual satisfaction.

Conclusion
The findings offer the first evidence to suggest that partner-induced sexual arousal and non–partner-induced sexual arousal have differential effects in terms of sexual satisfaction and relationship quality. This not only has a raft of clinical implications, but it provides the basis for several important avenues of future research on the role of subjective sexual arousal in romantic relationships.
A spacetime formulation for unsteady aerodynamics with geometry and topology changes
Authors: Flamarique Ederra I. , Rendall T. C. S. , Gaitonde A. L. , Jones D. , Allen C. B. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractA spacetime formulation is presented to solve unsteady aerodynamic problems involving large deformation or topological change such as store separation, slat and flap deployment or spoiler deflection. This technique avoids complex CFD meshing methods, such as Chimera, by the use of a finite-volume approach both in space and time, and permits a locally varying real timestep. The use of a central-difference scheme in the time direction can yield non-physical transient solutions as a consequence of information travelling backwards in time. Therefore, an upwind formulation is provided and validated against one-dimensional and two-dimensional test cases. A hybrid formulation (central in space, upwind in time) is also given and unsteady cases are computed for a spoiler and spoiler/flap deployment, with all three formulations compared, demonstrating that the use of an upwind time stencil yields more representative physical solutions and improves the rate of convergence.
Monitoring disparities in healthcare-associated infection surveillance: A SHEA Research Network (SRN) Survey
Authors: McGrath Caitlin , Deloney Valerie , Logan Latania , Rubin Lorry , Ravin Karen , Muller Martha , Bartlett Allison , De St Maurice Annabelle , Linam Matthew , Caughell Carolyn , Ramirez Lynn 
Published: May 2022

Background: Inequities are seen in many health-related outcomes, and systemic and structural factors result in inequitable care based on social determinants of health (SDOH). However, whether disparities exist specifically in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) based on these factors has not been well described. Furthermore, there are no national standards on whether information related to equity and SDOH should be included in HAI surveillance and how such information could be used. Methods: We surveyed US members of the SHEA Research Network (SRN), a consortium of healthcare facilities with leaders interested in healthcare epidemiology and infection prevention, via an online REDCap survey from October to December 2021. Results: Of the 68 eligible US SRN facilities, 28 (41%) responded. Among them, 27 institutions provide direct patient care and were analyzed. Of these 27 facilities, 8 (30%) collected data regarding variables related to equity including language for care, race or ethnicity, insurance status, and other. Of these faclilities, 38% are collecting but not otherwise using this information; other facilities use this information for a variety of reporting and intervention purposes (Fig. 2). Only 3 facilities (11%) analyzed whether disparities exist in any HAI rates. The most common barrier to collecting SDOH information is that facilities have not considered doing this work (Fig. 3). Of the 15 facilities not yet undertaking such work, 10 (67%) were interested in doing so. Specific recommendations about how to operationalize such collection are needed (Table 1). Conclusions: Most institutions in this sample are not collecting data that would allow for assessment of disparities in the rates of HAIs; however, there is interest in doing so. A minority of early adopter facilities are assessing whether disparities exist and are designing interventions. National guidance can play a key role in standardizing the collection of this information and translating early findings to identify and subsequently improve disparities within HAIs.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None
Multiphase flow applications of nonintrusive reduced-order models with Gaussian process emulation
Authors: Botsas Themistoklis , Pan Indranil , Mason Lachlan R. , Matar Omar K. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Reduced-order models (ROMs) are computationally inexpensive simplifications of high-fidelity complex ones. Such models can be found in computational fluid dynamics where they can be used to predict the characteristics of multiphase flows. In previous work, we presented a ROM analysis framework that coupled compression techniques, such as autoencoders, with Gaussian process regression in the latent space. This pairing has significant advantages over the standard encoding–decoding routine, such as the ability to interpolate or extrapolate in the initial conditions’ space, which can provide predictions even when simulation data are not available. In this work, we focus on this major advantage and show its effectiveness by performing the pipeline on three multiphase flow applications. We also extend the methodology by using deep Gaussian processes as the interpolation algorithm and compare the performance of our two variations, as well as another variation from the literature that uses long short-term memory networks, for the interpolation.
The use of recommended interviewing practices by novice engineering designers to elicit information during requirements development

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Effective stakeholder interviewing is a critical component of a design process. However, interviewing is a complex skill that is difficult for novice designers to learn and incorporate into their design practices. Few studies have investigated how novice designers apply recommended practices for interviewing stakeholders during the development of product requirements. In this research, we studied how novice designers elicited information to inform the development of product requirements during stakeholder interviews. Results included the establishment of a coding methodology developed from a systematic literature review of recommended interviewing practices that was used to reliably evaluate the use of recommended practices in novice designers’ interviews. A correlation existed between the use of recommended practices and the extent to which information gathered from interviews was incorporated into the requirements. Additionally, specific recommended practices, such as encouraging deep thinking and being flexible and opportunistic, differentiated performance among novice designers. The coding methodology could be adapted to guide the development of stakeholder interview protocols and assessment of design interview skills.
Reduced melatonin levels may facilitate glioblastoma initiation in the subventricular zone
Authors: Ghareghani Majid , Zibara Kazem , Reiter Russel J. , Rivest Serge 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain tumour, originates from a neural stem cell (NSC) located in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral cerebral ventricle. Using the most advanced in vivo imaging techniques, Gengatharan and colleagues recently identified a day/night difference in the adult SVZ-NSC division. They reported that the circadian melatonin rhythm and its receptor control the day/night difference in NSC division with high mitotic activity during the day and low activity at night. Expression of melatonin and its receptor diminishes during ageing, which eliminates the regulatory effect of melatonin on NSC mitosis. Moreover, the circadian melatonin rhythm is dampened by light-at-night with the potential of altering the circadian mitotic cycle of NSC in the SVZ. Also, men with a lower melatonin amplitude than women exhibit a 60% higher rate of glioblastoma incidence. Given that ageing contributes significantly to glioblastoma initiation and progression, we suggest that the decline in circadian melatonin synthesis and release as well as its receptors in the SVZ, which also diminish with an ageing act in concert with other factors to facilitate glioblastoma initiation and growth.
Reaching for allies? The dialectics and overlaps between international relations and area studies in the study of politics, security and conflicts
Authors: D'Amato Silvia , Dian Matteo , Russo Alessandra 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis article sets the scene for the Special Issue ‘Reaching for allies?’ by setting out the research questions and structure of the Special Issue. Specifically, this introduction reviews the state of the art of dialectics interweaving International Relations and Area Studies. Specifically, it focuses on tracing the genealogy of these debates, identifying the actors engaged with them, as well as, mapping those sites where such transdisciplinary knowledge is produced and circulated. We also provide an assessment of the interaction between the two disciplinary traditions as scholarly disciplines by reviewing the field as it had developed in the last decade since 2013. In order to do so, we present data on the brokers of this dialogue by analysing top-ranked Journals across regions, dedicated Special Issues on the matter as well as main international conferences and participants. Overall, this article provides a threefold contribution: first, we provide an account of the globalization of knowledge production and circulation that has also increasingly decentred, valuing local peculiarities and epistemological traditions beyond the Western academia(s). Second, we assess and discuss how Western and non-Western academics have contoured concepts which demand and entail site-intensive techniques of enquiry, exposure to complexities on the grounds, ethnographic sensitivity, and, at the same time, comparative endeavours going beyond area specialisms. Third, by looking at international and regional policy-making milieus with attention to context-specificity, we believe critical policy-relevant implications can be discussed, specifically in relation to local ownership and bottom-up approaches.
Coping with organizational crisis: buffering effects of organization sector prototypicality and employee organizational identification

Published: May 2022

AbstractWe explored the interactive role of an organization's sector prototypicality (the extent to which the organization embodies the prototype of its market sector) and employees' identification with their organization in buffering crises' negative effects on perceived organizational performance. We propose (1) that highly prototypical organizations are perceived as more able to cope with organizational crisis, because of their capacity to reduce the threat associated with crisis, and (2) that this effect is augmented when employees more strongly identify with their organization, presumably because of a higher trust in the organization's capacity to efficiently cope with crisis. Findings from two studies confirmed the hypotheses, by manipulating (study 1) and measuring (study 2) organizational crisis and the organization's sector prototypicality, and by focusing on potential employees (study 1) and on employees of a company facing a financial crisis (study 2). Theoretical and applied implications of results are discussed.
Producing Kartinka: Street-Level Bureaucracy and Implementation of Russia’s Tolerance Policy in St. Petersburg
Authors: Sarkisyan Nikolay 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn 2006, a “tolerance policy” was launched in St. Petersburg to address the growing xenophobia and the need to integrate labor migrants. Applying a bottom–up perspective, this study finds that this policy was symbolic – aimed at changing public attitudes, not at providing material outcomes. The direct implementers (the street-level bureaucracy), operating under governmental constraints, drew on informal mechanisms: behind-the-scenes negotiations, unwritten rules and hierarchies, personalist power, and ideological cues. Formalized dense reporting, often quantitative, was used to keep low-level implementers in check. The combination of these features rendered the tolerance policy shallow and self-locked. Street-level bureaucracy had to interpret vague policy documents, but lacked the necessary discretionary powers. This gave rise to the kartinka (picture, or image) coping technique. The term describes how all work activities were shaped by the need to demonstrate progress with respect to unwritten rules and ideological dynamics. The article concludes with a discussion of the applicability of the author’s findings to the field of nationalities policy in Russia.
The Influence of Narcoculture on Popular Music: A Critical Look at Reggaeton’s Narco-Messages and Narco-Representations
Authors: VEGA OMAR RUIZ 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn this study, I take a critical look at the presence of narcoculture in reggaeton using as a case study the music video of the remix of ‘Somos de calle’. Specifically, I evaluate whether and to what extent reggaeton’s narco-messages and narco-representations – when they converge with other variables – could potentially influence an individual’s modes of thinking and behaviour. The study does not aim to provide a definitive answer to the debate surrounding this issue. More than anything, it strives to analyse the extent to which the claim that such influence may occur has scientific merit, in order to advocate further research on this matter. The article also discusses the highly politicized debate that has surrounded this topic in public discourse, and how this has seemingly affected its critical assessment in academia. For the analysis I rely particularly on social psychology literature concerning violent media content and in the areas of persuasion studies and prejudice studies, but I also consider literature from other fields, including criminology.

AbstractThe present study examined the association between low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) score, glycemic index (GI), and glycemic load (GL) with visceral fat level (VFL) and lipid accumulation product (LAP). This cross-sectional study was conducted on 270 adults (118 men and 152 women) aged between 18–45 living in Tehran, Iran, between February 2017 and December 2018. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Body composition were also assessed. We used analyses of covariance and binary logistic regression to explore associations after controlling for age, energy intake (model 1), education, smoking status, physical activity, occupation, marriage and metabolic diseases. There were no significant differences between tertiles of GI, GL and LCD for means of anthropometric measures, LAP and VFL index in men, while women in the highest tertile of GI and GL had significantly higher mean LAP in the crude model (P = 0·02) and model 1(P = 0·04), which disappeared after controlling for other confounders (P = 0·12). Moreover, the OR and CIs for having high LAP and VFL was not associated with dietary GI, GL and LCD in crude and adjusted models. However, chance of high VFL reduced by 65% and 57% among women with high adherence to LCD score (OR = 0·35, 95% CI = 0·16–0·78, P = 0·01) and model 1 (OR = 0·43, 95% CI = 0·18–1, P = 0·05), respectively. However, this significant association disappeared after controlling for other confounders (P = 0·07). Overall, we found carbohydrate quality and LCD score are not associated with LAP and VFL index. However, gender-specific relationship should not be neglect and warrants further investigation.
