‘Nobody Kills a Priest’: Irish Noir and Pathogenic Vulnerability in Benjamin Black’s Holy Orders
Authors: Pérez-Vides Auxiliadora 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis chapter addresses the systemic precarisation of individuals through the examination of Holy Orders (2013), the sixth title in Benjamin Black’s “Quirke series”. This crime novel describes the multi-layered precarity of Ireland’s travellers, that appear, I argue, as archives of the failing of infrastructural norms and paradigms of pathogenic vulnerability. Similarly, the story captures the corrupted network of control and influence sustained by the Catholic Church and its concomitant rule of silence, whose dysfunctionality generates a string of parallel justice. In my analysis, I will first explore how the failure of Ireland’s network of infrastructural support has prevailed throughout time, decimating the lives of some of its most vulnerable individuals. Then, I will trace the vigilantism that, as a convention in crime fiction, appears as a product of such deficiency and the troubling questions posed for the contemporary reader.
Crime Fiction’s Disobedient Gaze: Refugees’ Vulnerability in Ausma Zehanat Khan’s A Dangerous Crossing (2018)
Authors: Cuder-Domínguez Pilar 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis chapter explores Ausma Zehanat Khan’s fourth police procedural,A Dangerous Crossing(2018), as an example of human rights fiction that casts a “disobedient gaze” on the current global refugee situation. Using the conventions of the crime genre, the novel manages to provide a detailed analysis of the gender vulnerability of Syrian refugees stranded in Greek camps and mobilises a transformative kind of empathy by drawing alternative affective economies that help readers expand the limit of our imagination. The chapter argues that Khan’s refugee advocacy rests on envisioning the human within those who are depicted as nonhuman in media and political descriptions of forced migration in the context of increased border securitisation.
The Ajaokuta Steel Project

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe Ajaokuta Steel Project has been a widely visible symbol of Nigerian industrialization through steel production for 50 years. At the writing of this book, at least $5 billion have been spent, and a workforce of 3000 people live and work on site to maintain it, but not one ton of steel has been produced.The project started as an ambitious industrialization project in 1971, awarded to a Soviet contractor. After delays from limited financial and manpower capacity, it was stopped by a new government in 1983 under corruption charges and lay fallow for 17 years. In 2000, civilian President Obasanjo restarted the project that he had initiated in 1971 as military president, now in a public–private partnership (PPP) scheme. But this again fell apart because of corruption charges and then lawsuits from the firm that had purchased the licence and did not want to be pushed out. Today, the government is looking for a new private partner. The case also discusses the fundamental question of whether the idea of industrialization through steel (rather than other technologies) is still sufficiently relevant to justify the reviving of equipment that was designed 40 years ago.
Wenn es um Karriere geht – Studie zu kultureller Diversität und Führungspersönlichkeiten in Betrieben

Published: May 2022

ZusammenfassungIn diesem Kapitel wird anhand einer Studie untersucht, welche Persönlichkeitsmerkmale Beschäftigte im MINT-Bereich vorweisen, die karrierefördernd sein könnten. Beschäftigten wurden drei Gruppen zugeordnet: Migrantinnen und Migranten, Beschäftigte ohne Migrationshintergrund und Beschäftigte mit Migrationshintergrund. Die Häufigkeit bestimmter Aussagen aus den Interviews wurde auf das Persönlichkeitsmodell „Fünf-Faktoren-Modell“ (Offenheit für neue Erfahrungen, Gewissenhaftigkeit, Extraversion, Verträglichkeit, Neurotizismus) bezogen. Bei den Merkmalen „Offenheit für neue Erfahrungen“ und „Neurotizismus“ gab es keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den Gruppen. Das Merkmal „Gewissenhaftigkeit“ zeigte ein Chancenplus für Personen mit Migrationshintergrund. Bezogen auf die Eigenschaft „Extraversion“ hatten Migrierte und Personen ohne Migrationshintergrund ein deutliches Übergewicht. Beim Merkmal „Verträglichkeit“ wiesen Personen mit Migrationshintergrund die höchsten Ausprägungen auf.
Einheit in der Vielfalt? Kritische Betrachtung von Diversity Orientierung anhand empirischer Ergebnisse

Published: May 2022

ZusammenfassungDas folgende Kapitel stellt als Sammelwerk Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojektes „Diversität Nutzen und Annehmen“ der Innovations- und Technik-Analyse des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung vor, welches sich mit Diversity, Diversity Management sowie intrapersonellen Einstellungen zu Diversity und förderlichen Wirkfaktoren in den Bereichen Studium und Berufswelt der MINT-Branche befasste. Ziel war es, zu untersuchen, auf welche Weise Stereotypenbedrohung und Faultlines in Hochschulen und Unternehmen wahrgenommen werden und inwiefern diesen Aspekten durch Diversity Beliefs entgegengewirkt werden kann. Aufgrund des Forschungsdesign, welches Diversity auf drei Ebenen (Studierende, Mitarbeitende und Führungskräfte) detailliert untersuchte, konnten relevante Ergebnisse ermittelt und daraus weitreichende Erkenntnisse für die Praxis und Wissenschaft gezogen werden. Im Zuge des Forschungsprojektes konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich Personen mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund der Vielfalt bewusst sind, jedoch Defizite in der effektiven Nutzung von Diversity existieren. Zudem wurde deutlich, dass Stereotypenbedrohung und Faultlines für Personen mit Migrationshintergrund Teil ihres Lebens- beziehungsweise Arbeitsalltags darstellen. Personen ohne Migrationshintergrund sind sich diesen Herausforderungen, denen Personen mit Migrationshintergrund ausgesetzt sind, meist nicht bewusst. Weiterhin wurde ersichtlich, dass Diversity noch stärker in die Unternehmenskultur von Organisationen im MINT-Bereich integriert werden sollte. Durch ein organisationales Leitbild, welches für Diversity einsteht und diese fördert, kann ein erfolgreiches Diversity Management implementiert werden, welches sich nicht nur für Fairness und Unterstützung einsetzt, sondern sich den wirtschaftlichen Vorteilen von Diversity bewusst ist. Mögliche effiziente Maßnahmen für ein erfolgreiches Diversity Management stellen Top-Down Ansätze und die Förderung von positiven Diversity-Einstellungen dar. Abschließend wird ein Ausblick über die Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie auf Diversity Management und Diversity Maßnahmen sowie potenzielle (langfristige) Veränderungen und den daraus entstehenden Bedarf gegeben. Die Umsetzung von effektiven Maßnahmen in Institutionen und Organisationen, die auch in Zukunft Wirkung zeigen, sind ausschlaggebend, um von den positiven Konsequenzen von Diversity im gesellschaftlichen Leben profitieren zu können.

Abstract
We study diquarks on the lattice in the background of a static quark, in a gauge-invariant formalism with quark masses down to almost physical mπ. We determine mass differences between diquark channels as well as diquark-quark mass differences. The lightest and next-to-lightest diquarks have “good” scalar, $$ {\overline{3}}_F $$

Quark-quark attraction is found only in the “good” diquark channel. We extract a corresponding diquark size of ∼ 0.6 fm and perform a first exploration of the “good” diquark shape, which is shown to be spherical. Our results provide quantitative support for modeling the low-lying baryon spectrum using good light diquark effective degrees of freedom.
Reduction of general one-loop integrals using auxiliary vector
Authors: Feng Bo , Li Tingfei , Wang Hongbin , Zhang Yaobo 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
As a key method to deal with loop integrals, Integration-By-Parts (IBP) method can be used to do reduction as well as establish the differential equations for master integrals. However, when talking about tensor reduction, the Passarino-Veltman (PV) reduction method is also widely used for one-loop integrals. Recently, we have proposed an improved PV reduction method, i.e., the PV reduction method with auxiliary vector R, which can easily give analytical reduction results for any tensor rank. However, our results are only for integrals with propagators with power one. In this paper, we generalize our method to one-loop integrals with general tensor structures and propagators with general powers. Our ideas are simple. We solve the generalised reduction problem by combining differentiation over masses and proper limit of reduction with power-one propagators. Finally, we demonstrate our method with several examples. With the result in this paper, we have shown that our improved PV-reduction method with auxiliary vector is a self-completed reduction method for one-loop integrals.

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Die postpartale Depression (PPD) zählt zu den häufigsten psychischen Erkrankungen in der Postpartalzeit. Unbehandelt kann sie teils folgenschwere Auswirkungen auf die Mutter-Kind-Beziehung und die Entwicklung des Kindes haben. Um mögliche negative Auswirkungen verhindern zu können, sind eine frühzeitige Diagnostik betroffener Mütter und eine professionelle Betreuung essenziell.

Ziel der Arbeit
Der vorliegende Artikel exploriert das Zuständigkeitsgefühl der 4 Primärversorger:innen in der Postpartalzeit: Hebammen, Gynäkolog:innen, Hausärzt:innen und Pädiater:innen, und untersucht den Umgang mit der Erkrankung sowie die Barrieren und Optimierungsmöglichkeiten in der Versorgung.

Material und Methoden
Die primären Versorger:innen von Frauen nach einer Geburt in Deutschland wurden in 4 voneinander unabhängigen Studien befragt. Mit Hebammen, Gynäkolog:innen und Hausärzt:innen wurden quantitative Befragungen mittels Fragebögen durchgeführt, mit Vertreter:innen des deutschen Berufsverbands der Kinder- und Jugendärzte e. V. (BVKJ) eine qualitative Telefoninterviewbefragung. Es erfolgte eine systematische vergleichende Analyse.

Ergebnisse und Diskussion
Hebammen und Gynäkolog:innen zeigten ein deutlich höheres Zuständigkeitsgefühl für das Erkennen und die Therapie der PPD als Hausärzt:innen und Pädiater:innen. Als zentrale Voraussetzung für eine Verbesserung der Versorgungssituation in Deutschland wurden von allen 4 Berufsgruppen eine engere interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit und somit ein größeres Angebot an Überweisungs- und Therapiemöglichkeiten genannt. Auch eine einheitliche Regelung der finanziellen Vergütung ist für alle Versorger ein wichtiger Aspekt.
Rigorous numerics for nonlinear heat equations in the complex plane of time
Authors: Takayasu Akitoshi , Lessard Jean-Philippe , Jaquette Jonathan , Okamoto Hisashi 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce a method for computing rigorous local inclusions of solutions of Cauchy problems for nonlinear heat equations for complex time values. The proof is constructive and provides explicit bounds for the inclusion of the solution of the Cauchy problem, which is rewritten as a zero-finding problem on a certain Banach space. Using a solution map operator, we construct a simplified Newton operator and show that it has a unique fixed point. The fixed point together with its rigorous bounds provides the local inclusion of the solution of the Cauchy problem. The local inclusion technique is then applied iteratively to compute solutions over long time intervals. This technique is used to prove the existence of a branching singularity in the nonlinear heat equation. Finally, we introduce an approach based on the Lyapunov–Perron method for calculating part of a center-stable manifold and prove that an open set of solutions of the Cauchy problem converge to zero, hence yielding the global existence of the solutions in the complex plane of time.

Abstract
Background
Patients with active cancer have a 4–sevenfold increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) especially during systematic anticancer treatment. Simultaneously, surgery is an additional risk factor.

Methods
The Metaxas’s Hospital THromboprophylaxis program in Oncological & Surgical Patients (MeTHOS) is a prospective, phase IV, observational, non-interventional cohort study, aiming to record the thromboprophylaxis practice patterns in high-risk active cancer patients undergoing surgical and/or chemotherapy treatment.

Results
We are reporting results from 291 ambulatory patients (median age: 67 years, Q1–Q3: 59–73 years, 54.6% males) who received anti-neoplastic treatment and administered thromboprophylaxis. 59.8% had cardiovascular disease (mostly hypertension), 76.6% were reported as having at least one comorbidity, while 27.5% and 15.8% accumulated two and three comorbidities, respectively. 94.9% of the patients were receiving highly thrombogenic agents such as platinum-based agents, 5-FU, immunotherapy, antiangiogenics/anti-VEGF, or erythropoietin. 26.5% of the patients were initially surgically treated. In terms of anticoagulation, all patients were treated with tinzaparin (fixed dose, 10,000 Anti-Xa IU, OD). The median anticoagulation duration was 6.2 months. Six thrombotic events were observed (2.06%, 95% CI: 0.76–4.43%): 5 were DVT, and one PE. With respect to safety, 7 bleeding events occurred (2.6%, 95% CI: 1.0–5.3%); 6 of them were minor.

Conclusions
Thromboprophylaxis with LMWH in patients with active cancer and high thrombotic burden was safe and effective. Intermediate dose of tinzaparin seems to be an appropriate agent for cancer-associated thromboprophylaxis management.

AbstractThe Pearson’s $$X^2$$

are most frequently used for testing independence or homogeneity, in two-way contingency table. These indexes are members of a continuous family of Power Divergence (PD) statistics, but they perform badly in studying the association between ordinal categorical variables. Taguchi’s and Nair’s statistics have been introduced in the literature as simple alternatives to Pearson’s index for contingency tables with ordered categorical variables. It’s possible to show, using a parameter, how to link Taguchi’s and Nair’s statistics obtaining a new class called Weighted Cumulative Chi-Squared (WCCS-type tests). Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to introduce a new divergence family based on cumulative frequencies called Weighted Cumulative Power Divergence. Moreover, an extension of Cumulative Correspondence Analysis based on WCCS and further properties are shown.

AbstractCardiac involvement has been described in varying proportions of patients recovered from COVID-19 and proposed as a potential cause of prolonged symptoms, often described as post-COVID or long COVID syndrome. Recently, cardiac complications have been reported from COVID-19 vaccines as well. We aimed to compare CMR-findings in patients with clinical cardiac symptoms after COVID-19 and after vaccination. From May 2020 to May 2021, we included 104 patients with suspected cardiac involvement after COVID-19 who received a clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination at a high-volume center. The mean time from first positive PCR to CMR was 112  ± 76 days. During their COVID-19 disease, 21% of patients required hospitalization, 17% supplemental oxygen and 7% mechanical ventilation. In 34 (32.7%) of patients, CMR provided a clinically relevant diagnosis: Isolated pericarditis in 10 (9.6%), %), acute myocarditis (both LLC) in 7 (6.7%), possible myocarditis (one LLC) in 5 (4.8%), ischemia in 4 (3.8%), recent infarction in 2 (1.9%), old infarction in 4 (3.8%), dilated cardiomyopathy in 3 (2.9%), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 2 (1.9%), aortic stenosis, pleural tumor and mitral valve prolapse each in 1 (1.0%). Between May 2021 and August 2021, we examined an additional 27 patients with suspected cardiac disease after COVID-19 vaccination. Of these, CMR provided at least one diagnosis in 22 (81.5%): Isolated pericarditis in 4 (14.8%), acute myocarditis in 9 (33.3%), possible myocarditis (acute or subsided) in 6 (22.2%), ischemia in 3 (37.5% out of 8 patients with stress test), isolated pericardial effusion (> 10 mm) and non-compaction-cardiomyopathy each in 1 (3.7%). The number of myocarditis diagnoses after COVID-19 was highly dependent on the stringency of the myocarditis criteria applied. When including only cases of matching edema and LGE and excluding findings in the right ventricular insertion site, the number of cases dropped from 7 to 2 while the number of cases after COVID-19 vaccination remained unchanged at 9. While myocarditis is an overall rare side effect after COVID-19 vaccination, it is currently the leading cause of myocarditis in our institution due to the large number of vaccinations applied over the last months. Contrary to myocarditis after vaccination, LGE and edema in myocarditis after COVID-19 often did not match or were confined to the RV-insertion site. Whether these cases truly represent myocarditis or a different pathological entity is to be determined in further studies.
The Idea of a Pseudo-Problem in Mach, Hertz, and Boltzmann
Authors: Preston John 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIdentifications, diagnoses, and treatments of pseudo-problems form a family of classic methodologies in later nineteenth century philosophy and at least partly, I shall argue, in the philosophy of science. They were devised, not by academic philosophers, but by three of the greatest philosopher-scientists. Here I show how Ernst Mach, Heinrich Hertz and Ludwig Boltzmann each deployed methods of this general kind, how they identified different pseudo-problems, gave different diagnoses of such problems, and suggested quite different treatments for them. I argue that it was Mach who really first developed the idea of a pseudo-problem, that he did so in a relatively focussed way on the basis of two kinds of examples. Hertz’s contribution was much more limited, identifying two specific pseudo-problems concerning physics, and suggesting a way in which they might be treated. Boltzmann’s conception of pseudo-problems, though, was far less focussed, being applied to a very wide range of problems in philosophy and physics. However, his conception was certainly more influential, and perhaps ultimately more fruitful and suggestive. I argue for the originality and continuing interest of such approaches, and I try to dissociate them from any problematic ‘positivism’.

A defense of surgical procedures regulation
Authors: Andreoletti Mattia , Bina Federico 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSince the advent of drug regulation in 1962, regulatory agencies have been in the practice of using strict standards to test the safety and efficacy of medical treatments and products. Regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, demand two full-fledged Randomized Clinical Trials demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of drugs to grant its marketing authorization. On the contrary, surgical treatments are left completely unregulated. There are several reasons explaining this difference, and all of them point to the difficulty of conducting well-designed RCTs in surgery. However, we argue that none of these arguments is decisive and that, under certain conditions, surgical RCTs can be morally justified and methodologically sound. Although ethical constraints restrict the number of testable surgical procedures, and surgical trials might not be as dependable as pharmaceutical RCTs, our analysis suggests that, in certain cases, it is possible to obtain high-quality evidence about the safety and efficacy of surgical procedures. Untested surgical treatments may prove to be ineffective and harm patients. Therefore, regulation of surgical procedures seems not only morally acceptable and able to provide reliable scientific evidence, but also desirable and justified from an ethical-political standpoint.
Parameter estimation of an ion-exchange process based on a pseudo probability measure
Authors: Roth Jan-Philipp , Kühler Thomas , Griese Elmar 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe manufacturing of integrated optical waveguide components can be complex if the design space is highly multivariate or constraints introduced by the process itself are not well-known. Numerical simulation helps to create a basic understanding of the process and the resulting components with their features but is costly with respect to time and hardware resources. The estimation approach in this work introduces a precise, numerically robust and controllable method without any black boxes to estimate the input parameters of the manufacturing ion-exchange process. Therefore, small number of simulation samples is used to determine basic dependencies of desired waveguide component features on the input parameters. A pseudo probability measure is then used to estimate the combination of process parameters that is most likely to result in the required features. The feature data is detached from the sample size of the simulation data with a multidimensional curve fit in order to debloat the estimation model. The implications of the estimation are wide-ranged and not restricted to the physics of the ion-exchange process, i.e. easy to be abstracted to other models. The estimation enables parameter subspace optimization or clustering of solution. Model benchmarks show a very high estimation rate for all types of considered applications.
