Enhancing Older Adults’ Digital Inclusion Through Social Support: A Qualitative Interview Study
Authors: Kuoppamäki Sanna , Hänninen Riitta , Taipale Sakari 
Published: August 2022

AbstractA lack of social support can hinder older adults’ digital inclusion. This chapter examines the connection between social and digital inclusion by focusing on the process of acquiring social support for digital technology use among older adults in Finland. Building on the concept of warm expert, the chapter shows that acquiring support for digital technology use is a reciprocal process that both enhances and requires digital inclusion. A qualitative analysis of 22 participant-induced elicitation interviews was conducted with older adults aged between 57 and 89. The chapter shows that social support reinforces digital inclusion by (a) ensuring older adults’ access to technology, (b) catering for their positive approach towards technology and (c) improving their skills to use technology independently. The connection between social and digital inclusion also operates the other way round. Digital inclusion is required to gain social support that is more readily at hand in a technology-mediated manner.
Androgyny and the End of Manhood
Authors: Almassi Ben 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis chapter considers the appeal and limitations of feminist androgyny and rejections of masculinity as viable alternatives to traditional patriarchal masculinity in the late twentieth century. We explore multiple conceptions of androgyny as more and less compatible with feminist values, revisit John Stoltenberg’s repudiation of manhood and masculinity on feminist grounds, and trace how feminist androgyny and refusals of masculinity recur throughout many scholarly and popular accounts of men and manhood. We conclude by considering some notable challenges attendant to Stoltenberg’s advice for men of conscience and his account of double vision.
Feminist Reclamations of Masculinity
Authors: Almassi Ben 
Published: August 2022

AbstractResistance to discarding manhood and masculinity comes from not only conservatives but also avowed feminists like bell hooks, who sought to reclaim masculinity as not just compatible with but grounded in feminist values and projects. We turn in this chapter to feminist reclamations of masculinity, most notably (though not limited to) hooks’ We Real Cool and The Will to Change. There is a lot to admire in these efforts to reclaim feminist masculinity; much of what they identify as constituting better, more just, more mindful masculinity are indeed good human qualities. Yet as a viable guide for feminist men, these accounts fall short in one way or another.
Allyship Masculinities in the Unjust Meantime
Authors: Almassi Ben 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis chapter explores the intersectional potential of and challenges for feminist allyship masculinities in social context. What does it mean for allyship masculinities to be open to all men, not in spite but because of the diversity of social locations and experiences among us? We take up epistemological challenges for allyship masculinity including active ignorance, epistemic injustice, and situated knowledge, before turning to social, political, and ethical challenges, with particular attention to issues of accountability and male privilege put toward feminist ends within patriarchal systems.
Introduction
Authors: Marschlich Sarah 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis thesis explores the role of corporate diplomacy in the legitimation of multinational corporations (MNCs). By combining a sociological neo-institutional approach with public relations and news framing theory, this research examines how corporate diplomacy in a company’s host country, in this case, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is performed, how news media in the host country frame corporate diplomacy, and how corporate diplomacy news affect organizational legitimacy. A mixed-method research design was applied to explore corporate diplomacy and its link to organizational legitimacy. The findings show that the corporations use different corporate diplomacy modes to gain legitimacy. Moreover, results imply that organizational legitimacy judgments, shaped by the news media, mainly depend on the demonstrated linkages of the corporation with the UAE government and the outlined benefits of corporate diplomacy for the local community. The results suggest that foreign corporations adapt to the host country’s cultural and political system to gain organizational legitimacy. This research has significant implications for theory and practice by offering profound insights into the role of corporate diplomacy in organizational legitimation from the organizational, media, and audience perspectives.
What We Need for Success: Recommendations and Wishes
Authors: Anderson Peter , Blue Levon , Pham Thu , Saward Melanie 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThroughout this book, we have shared our experiences of conducting capacity-building workshops and undertaking research about the needs and experiences of Indigenous HDR students in Australia. In total, we heard from 147 participants which included 113 Indigenous HDR students across Australia and 34 supervisors of Indigenous HDR students. The insights received from both Indigenous HDR students and supervisors revealed that there are still opportunities to improve the HDR experience for Indigenous students. Based on our findings, in this chapter, we expand on the recommendations outlined in the Moreton-Robinson et al.’s (Report on Indigenous success in higher degree by research. Prepared for the Australian Government, Department of Education and Training, 2020) report to include new data collected in 2020 from 32 Indigenous HDR students. We hope our recommendations, once acted upon, will have a positive impact on the success of Indigenous HDR students and that the insights shared by the Indigenous HDR candidates we heard from will have meaning and relevance for anyone pursuing a research degree.
The mathematical structure of U-spin amplitude sum rules
Authors: Gavrilova Margarita , Grossman Yuval , Schacht Stefan 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We perform a systematic study of SU(2) flavor amplitude sum rules with particular emphasis on U-spin. This study reveals a rich mathematical structure underlying the sum rules that allows us to formulate an algorithm for deriving all U-spin amplitude sum rules to any order of the symmetry breaking. This novel approach to deriving the sum rules does not require one to explicitly compute the Clebsch-Gordan tables, and allows for simple diagrammatic interpretation. Several examples that demonstrate the application of our novel method to systems that can be probed experimentally are provided.
Classical physics from amplitudes on curved backgrounds
Authors: Adamo Tim , Cristofoli Andrea , Ilderton Anton 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We generalise the Kosower-Maybee-O’Connell (KMOC) formalism relating classical observables and scattering amplitudes to curved backgrounds. We show how to compute the final semiclassical state for a particle moving in a curved background in terms of scattering amplitudes on that background. Two-point amplitudes in this framework correspond to conservative physics with background-dependent memory effects. As an application, we consider plane wave and shock wave backgrounds both in electromagnetism and general relativity. We determine the final semiclassical state, showing it satisfies a notion of double copy on curved backgrounds. We then conclude by computing the impulse of a particle on such backgrounds, deriving exact results and velocity memory effects.
Color decorations of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity
Authors: Alkalaev Konstantin , Joung Euihun , Yoon Junggi 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We introduce the colored version of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity which is the two-dimensional dilaton gravity model with matrix-valued fields. It is straightforwardly formulated in terms of BF action with su(N, N) gauge algebra so that the standard JT gravity is embedded as su(1, 1) ⊂ su(N, N) subsector. We also elaborate on the respective metric formulation which is shown to involve the JT fields plus su(N) non-Abelian fields as well as su(N)-matrix valued metric and dilaton fields. Their interactions are governed by minimal couplings and potential terms of cubic and quartic orders involving derivatives.
Elite female athletes’ experiences of symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction: A systematic review
Authors: Culleton-Quinn Elizabeth , Bø Kari , Fleming Neil , Mockler David , Cusack Cinny , Daly Déirdre 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Introduction and aims
Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a collection of signs, symptoms and conditions affecting the pelvic floor and urinary incontinence (UI) is the most common type of PFD. Recent systematic reviews have indicated a higher prevalence of UI among female athletes compared to their non-athletic counterparts. To date, no review has been undertaken to investigate female athletes’ experiences of PFD. This review aims to offer insight and understanding, through aggregation, summary, synthesis and interpretation of findings from studies that report elite female athletes’ experiences of symptoms of PFD.

Methods
The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO in August 2020. A systematic search was conducted in Embase, MEDLINE (OVID), Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Web of Science for studies published in the English language reporting elite female athletes’ experiences of symptoms of PFD. This review included primary research studies that involved elite female athletes of any age or ethnicity.

Results
Of the 1922 citations retrieved in the search, 32 studies met the methodological criteria for data extraction and analysis. Five main themes emerged: (1) triggers for symptoms of PFD; (2) strategies adopted by athletes to manage/mitigate symptoms of PFD; (3) impact on QOL/daily life; (4) impact on performance; (5) impact on emotions.

Conclusions
The findings of this review suggest a need to further explore the experiences of PFD among elite female athletes and it is suggested that future research should adopt qualitative methods or incorporate a qualitative component.

Published: August 2022

AbstractLiver cirrhosis in children is a rare disease with multifactorial causes that are distinct from those in adults. Underlying reasons include cholestatic, viral, autoimmune, hereditary, metabolic and cardiac disorders. Early detection of fibrosis is important as clinical stabilization or even reversal of fibrosis can be achieved in some disorders with adequate treatment. This article focuses on the longitudinal evaluation of children with chronic liver disease with noninvasive imaging tools, which play an important role in detecting cirrhosis, defining underlying causes, grading fibrosis and monitoring patients during follow-up. Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality and it is used in a multiparametric fashion. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are usually applied second line for refined tissue characterization, clarification of nodular lesions and full delineation of abdominal vessels, including portosystemic communications.
Seasonal variation in medico-legal autopsies in Finland—a nationwide analysis of the period 2016–2021
Authors: Oura Petteri 
Published: August 2022

AbstractBoth natural and unnatural mortality have seasonal variation. In spite of the established link between season and mortality, it is unclear whether medico-legal autopsies are subject to similar variation. Building on a nationwide dataset from the years 2016–2021, this short report aimed to analyse whether medico-legal autopsies are subject to seasonal variation in Finland. An electronic information system was queried for the monthly numbers of performed autopsies. Monthly and yearly trends were estimated with Kruskal–Wallis test and linear regression. A total of 50,457 medico-legal autopsies were performed during the 6-year study period. There were on average 29 to 47 autopsies per day, with an estimated annual decline of 1.8% (95% confidence interval 0.7–2.9%) over the study period. Monthly and yearly variation in autopsies was mostly minor and irregular; statistically significant differences were only observed between January and September as well as January and November (p < 0.05). As such, there appears to be little seasonal variation in medico-legal autopsies in Finland. A mild declining trend in the number of autopsies was observed. Future studies are invited to explore patterns of seasonality in other medico-legal systems, for example in those with generally lower autopsy rates than in Finland.

AbstractBackgroundThere is an unmet need for reliable and sensitive measures for better monitoring people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) to detect disease progression early and adapt therapeutic measures accordingly.ObjectiveTo assess reliability of extracted features and meaningfulness of 11 tests applied through a smartphone application (“dreaMS”).MethodsPwMS (age 18–70 and EDSS ≤ 6.5) and matched healthy volunteers (HV) were asked to perform tests installed on their smartphone once or twice weekly for 5 weeks. Primary outcomes were test–retest reliability of test features (target: intraclass correlation [ICC] ≥ 0.6 or median coefficient of variation [mCV] < 0.2) and reported meaningfulness of the tests by PwMS. Meaningfulness was self-assessed for each test on a 5-point Likert scale (target: mean score of > 3) and by a structured interview. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04413032.ResultsWe included 31 PwMS (21 [68%] female, mean age 43.4 ± 12.0 years, median EDSS 3.0 [range 1.0–6.0]) and 31 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. Out of 133 features extracted from 11 tests, 89 met the preset reliability criteria. All 11 tests were perceived as highly meaningful to PwMS.ConclusionThe dreaMS app reliably assessed features reflecting key functional domains meaningful to PwMS. More studies with longer follow-up are needed to prove validity of these measures as digital biomarkers in PwMS.

Published: August 2022

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate the outcome of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) in eyes with pre-existing glaucoma.DesignIn this retrospective, observational case series we included data of 150 consecutive DMEKs in eyes with pre-existing glaucoma of 150 patients after excluding data of the second treated eye of each patient and of re-DMEKs during follow-up. Cumulative incidences of IOP elevation (IOP > 21 mmHg or ≥ 10 mmHg increase in IOP from preoperative value), post-DMEK glaucoma (need of an additional intervention due to worsening of the IOP), graft rejection, and graft failure rate were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier survival analysis. COX regression analysis was used to evaluate independent risk factors.ResultsThe 36-month cumulative incidence of IOP elevation was 53.5% [95 CI 43.5–63.5%] and of post-DMEK glaucoma 36.3% [95 CI 26.3–46.3%]. Graft rejection occurred with a 36-month cumulative incidence of 9.2% [CI 95% 2.3–16.1]. None of the analyzed risk factors increased the risk for the development of graft rejection. The 36-month cumulative incidence of graft failure was 16.6% [CI 95% 8.4–24.8]. Independent risk factors for graft failure were the indication for DMEK “status after graft failure” (n = 16) compared to Fuchs’ dystrophy (n = 74) (p = 0.045, HR 8.511 [CI 95% 1.054–68.756]) and pre-existing filtrating surgery via glaucoma drainage device (GDD) (n = 10) compared to no surgery/iridectomy (n = 109) (p = 0.014, HR 6.273 [CI 95% 1.456–27.031]).ConclusionThe risks of postoperative complications (IOP elevation, post-DMEK glaucoma, graft rejection, and graft failure) in patients with pre-existing glaucoma are high. In particular, pre-existing filtrating surgery via GDD implantation—but not trabeculectomy—and DMEK after graft failure increase the risk of graft failure.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Purpose
The study aimed to determine the expression of VISTA and TOX within venous tumor thrombus and primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and to assess their prognostic value.

Methods
The study enrolled 82 patients with ccRCC and coexisting venous tumor thrombus treated radically from 2012 to 2019 in two tertiary centers. Tissue microarrays were prepared and stained with respective antibodies. The expression of markers was assessed separately on tumor cells (TCs) and/or tumor-associated immune cells (TAICs).

Results
TOX expression was positively correlated with the percentage of VISTA-positive TAICs in venous thrombus (p = 0.011), but not in the primary tumor (p = 0.674). High TOX expression was associated with a higher percentage of PD-L1-positive TAICs in both compartments (p = 0.001, p = 0.011, respectively). Positive expression of VISTA on TAICs was associated with PD-L1 expression on TCs (p = 0.005) and TAICs (p = 0.004) in the primary tumor, and only with PD-L1 on TAICs in thrombus (p = 0.006). The presence of VISTA-positive TAICs in venous thrombus was significantly more common in females (p = 0.034), and positively correlated with metastases (p = 0.028), and tumor necrosis (p = 0.013). The cases with VISTA-positive TAICs in venous tumor thrombi had significantly shorter OS than VISTA-negative cases (p = 0.041).

Conclusion
For the first time, we demonstrated the expression of VISTA- and TOX-positive TAICs in the venous tumor thrombus. We found the association between immune checkpoint receptors and T cell exhaustion markers in both tumor mass and venous thrombus. Finally, we demonstrated that abundance of VISTA-positive TAICs in venous tumor thrombus correlates with worse outcomes in ccRCC.

Abstract
Aim
An increasing number of centers have implemented a robotic surgical program for rectal cancer. Several randomized controls trials have shown similar oncological and postoperative outcomes compared to standard laparoscopic resections. While introducing a robot rectal resection program seems safe, there are no data regarding implementation on a nationwide scale. Since 2018 robot resections are separately registered in the mandatory Dutch Colorectal Audit. The present study aims to evaluate the trend in the implementation of robotic resections (RR) for rectal cancer relative to laparoscopic rectal resections (LRR) in the Netherlands between 2018 and 2020 and to compare the differences in outcomes between the operative approaches.

Methods
Patients with rectal cancer who underwent surgical resection between 2018 and 2020 were selected from the Dutch Colorectal Audit. The data included patient characteristics, disease characteristics, surgical procedure details, postoperative outcomes. The outcomes included any complication within 90 days after surgery; data were categorized according to surgical approach.

Results
Between 2018 and 2020, 6330 patients were included in the analyses. 1146 patients underwent a RR (18%), 3312 patients a LRR (51%), 526 (8%) an open rectal resection, 641 a TaTME (10%), and 705 had a local resection (11%). The proportion of males and distal tumors was higher in the RR compared to the LRR. Over time, the proportion of robotic procedures increased from 15% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 13–16%) in 2018 to 22% (95% CI 20–24%) in 2020. Conversion rate was lower in the robotic group [4% (95% CI 3–5%) versus 7% (95% CI 6–8%)]. Anastomotic leakage rate was similar with 16%. Defunctioning ileostomies were more common in the RR group [42% (95% CI 38–46%) versus 29% (95% CI 26–31%)].

Conclusion
Rectal resections are increasingly being performed through a robot-assisted approach in the Netherlands. The proportion of males and low rectal cancers was higher in RR compared to LRR. Overall outcomes were comparable, while conversion rate was lower in RR, the proportion of defunctioning ileostomies was higher compared to LRR.
A surrogate merit function developed for structural weight optimization problems

Published: August 2022

AbstractIn this paper, a surrogate merit function (SMF) is proposed to be evaluated instead of the traditional merit functions (i.e., penalized weight of the structure). The standard format of the conventional merit functions needs several expensive trial-and-error tuning processes to enhance optimization convergence quality, retuning for different structural model configurations, and final manual local search in case optimization converges to infeasible vicinity of global optimum. However, on the other hand, SMF has no tunning factor but shows statistically stable performance for different models, converges directly to outstanding feasible points, and shows other superior advantages such as reduced required iterations to achieve convergence. In other words, this new function is a no-hassle one due to its brilliant user-friendly application and robust numerical results. SMF might be a revolutionary step in commercializing design optimization in the real-world construction market.
