From radial symmetry to fractal behavior of aggregation equilibria for repulsive–attractive potentials
Authors: Carrillo José A. , Shu Ruiwen 
Published: November 2022

AbstractFor the interaction energy with repulsive–attractive potentials, we give generic conditions which guarantee the radial symmetry of the local minimizers in the infinite Wasserstein distance. As a consequence, we obtain the uniqueness of local minimizers in this topology for a class of interaction potentials. We introduce a novel notion of concavity of the interaction potential allowing us to show certain fractal-like behavior of the local minimizers. We provide a family of interaction potentials such that the support of the associated local minimizers has no isolated points and any superlevel set has no interior points.

AbstractThe acceptance and widespread use of the Android operating system drew the attention of both legitimate developers and malware authors, which resulted in a significant number of benign and malicious applications available on various online markets. Since the signature-based methods fall short for detecting malicious software effectively considering the vast number of applications, machine learning techniques in this field have also become widespread. In this context, stating the acquired accuracy values in the contingency tables in malware detection studies has become a popular and efficient method and enabled researchers to evaluate their methodologies comparatively. In this study, we wanted to investigate and emphasize the factors that may affect the accuracy values of the models managed by researchers, particularly the disassembly method and the input data characteristics. Firstly, we developed a model that tackles the malware detection problem from a Natural Language Processing (NLP) perspective using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). Then, we experimented with different base units (instruction, basic block, method, and class) and representations of source code obtained from three commonly used disassembling tools (JEB, IDA, and Apktool) and examined the results. Our findings exhibit that the disassembly method and different input representations affect the model results. More specifically, the datasets collected by the Apktool achieved better results compared to the other two disassemblers.

AbstractMulti-GNSS combination can alleviate problems associated with GNSS-based geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite navigation and orbit determination (OD), such as GNSS availability and observation geometry deterioration. However, only GPS has been widely applied and investigated in GEO missions, whereas GEO OD with BDS requires further exploration. The Chinese GEO satellite TJS-5, equipped with a GPS and BDS-compatible receiver, is the first GEO mission that tracks both BDS 2nd and 3rd generation satellites since BDS global deployment. With the TJS-5 real onboard data, we evaluate BDS side-lobe signal performance and the BDS contribution to GEO OD. Due to transmit antenna gain deficiencies in the side lobes, BDS shows a worse tracking performance than GPS with an average satellite number of 4.3 versus 7.8. Both GPS and BDS reveal inconsistency between carrier-phase and code observations, which reaches several meters and significantly degrades post-dynamic OD calculation. We estimate the consistency as a random walk process in the carrier-phase observation model to reduce its impact. With inconsistency estimated, the post-fit carrier-phase residuals decrease from 0.21 to 0.09 m for both GPS and BDS. The OD precision is significantly improved, from 1.95 to 1.42 m with only GPS and from 3.14 to 2.71 m with only BDS; the GPS and BDS combined OD exhibits the largest improvement from 1.74 to 0.82 m, demonstrating that adding BDS improves the OD precision by 43.3%. The above results indicate that the proposed carrier-phase inconsistency estimation approach is effective for both GPS and BDS and can achieve an orbit precision within 1.0 m using multi-GNSS measurements.
Nonlocal optimized schwarz methods for time-harmonic electromagnetics
Authors: Claeys Xavier , Collino Francis , Parolin Emile 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe introduce a new domain decomposition strategy for time harmonic Maxwell’s equations that is valid in the case of automatically generated subdomain partitions with possible presence of cross-points. The convergence of the algorithm is guaranteed and we present a complete analysis of the matrix form of the method. The method involves transmission matrices responsible for imposing coupling between subdomains. We discuss the choice of such matrices, their construction and the impact of this choice on the convergence of the domain decomposition algorithm. Numerical results and algorithms are provided.
Professional identity research in the health professions—a scoping review
Authors: Cornett Marian , Palermo Claire , Ash Susan 
Published: November 2022

AbstractProfessional identity impacts the workforce at personal, interpersonal and profession levels however there is a lack of reviews of professional identity research across practising health professionals. To summarise professional identity research in the health professions literature and explore how professional identity is described a scoping review was conducted by searching Medline, Psycinfo, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, and Business Source Complete using “professional identity” and related terms for 32 health professions. Empirical studies of professional identity in post-registration health professionals were examined with health profession, career stage, background to research, theoretical underpinnings and constructs of professional identity being extracted, charted and analysed using content analysis where relevant. From 9941 studies, 160 studies across 17 health professions were identified, with nursing and medicine most common. Twenty studies focussed on professional identity in the five years post-entry to the workforce and 56 studies did not state career stage. The most common background for the research was the impact of political, social and healthcare reforms and advances. Thirty five percent of studies (n = 57) stated the use of a theory or framework of identity, the most common being classified as social theories. Individual constructs of professional identity across the research were categorised into five themes—The Lived Experience of Professional Identity; The World Around Me; Belonging; Me; and Learning and Qualifications. Descriptions of professional identity are broad, varied, rich and multi-layered however the literature is under theorised with current theories potentially inadequate to capture its complexity and make meaningful contributions to the allied health professions.
Effect of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on the antibacterial activity of bioactive dairy formulas supplemented with lactoferrin against Cronobacter sakazakii

Published: November 2022

AbstractMilk is a source of proteins with high nutritional value and relevant biological activities. Bioactive milk proteins, like lactoferrin, are important for newborn development and can also be used as ingredients in functional products to improve health. Lactoferrin is essential in infant’s diet, since protects against infections and promotes immune system maturation. Bovine lactoferrin is used to supplement formula milk in order to strengthen baby’s defences against some pathogenic bacteria. Thus, lactoferrin supplemented formula can be a barrier against emergent pathogens, such as Cronobacter sakazakii, which has caused great concern in the last few years. Milk proteins generate bioactive peptides in the digestion process, and it is known that industrial processing can modify their susceptibility to digestion. Treatments such as heating have been shown to denature whey proteins and make them more easily digestible. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of technological treatments and gastrointestinal digestion on the antibacterial activity against C. sakazakii of proteins present in dairy formulas supplemented with lactoferrin. Commercial bovine lactoferrin has been shown to have antibacterial activity against C. sakazakii, both in the native state and after static in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. In addition, the digests obtained from dairy formulas subjected to technological treatments, either homogenization or pasteurization, have higher antibacterial activity than non-treated formulas. The release of low molecular weight peptides during the in vitro gastric digestion is probably the cause that would explain the enhanced antibacterial activity of the digested dairy formulas.
An Analytical Solution for the Heat Conduction–Convection Equation in Non-homogeneous Soil
Authors: Ioannidis Thomas , Bakas Nikolaos A. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractHeat transfer through the soil is important in shallow geothermal applications, in plant growth as well as in the surface energy balance. In this work, an analytical solution for a conduction–convection equation that models heat transfer is presented for non-homogeneous soil. The main assumption underlying the solution is that the thermal diffusivity of soil is piecewise-constant. A method to determine the depth-dependent thermal diffusivity and the water flux density through the porous medium based on temperature measurements is also developed and applied to field data from a site in Ioannina, Greece. The thermal diffusivity was found to increase in the layer below the surface and decrease for larger depths, while convection through the porous medium was found to be present in wet conditions and to account for about 10% of the heat flux in terms of the annual variability of temperature. Finally, the capability of the novel method in capturing the spatio-temporal variability of soil temperature is compared to three commonly used algorithms: the amplitude, the phase, and the conduction–convection algorithm. The novel method is able to reduce the root-mean-square error for the predicted variability of temperature at all depths by an order of magnitude compared to the other three algorithms.

Abstract
Purpose
Using population-based data for women diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer, our aim was to examine the impact of time to treatment completion on survival and to identify factors associated with treatment delay.

Methods
This retrospective study used clinical and treatment data from the Queensland Oncology Repository. Time from diagnosis to completing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy identified a cut-off of 37 weeks as the optimal threshold for completing treatment. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the likelihood of completing treatment > 37 weeks. Overall (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) were examined using Cox proportional hazards models.

Results
Of 8279 women with stage I-III breast cancer, 31.9% completed treatment > 37 weeks. Apart from several clinical factors, being Indigenous (p = 0.002), living in a disadvantaged area (p = 0.003) and receiving ≥ two treatment modalities within the public sector (p < 0.001) were associated with an increased likelihood of completing treatment > 37 weeks. The risk of death from any cause was about 40% higher for women whose treatment went beyond 37 weeks (HR 1.37, 95%CI 1.16–1.61), a similar result was observed for BCSS. Using the surgery + chemotherapy + radiation pathway, a delay of > 6.9 weeks from surgery to starting chemotherapy was significantly associated with poorer survival (p = 0.001).

Conclusions
Several sociodemographic and system-related factors were associated with a greater likelihood of treatment completion > 37 weeks. We are proposing a key performance indicator for the management of early breast cancer where a facility should have > 90% of patients with a time from surgery to adjuvant chemotherapy < 6.9 weeks.
The Mediation role of Caregivers and Context on Individual Factors in Enabling Resilience Among Learners with Specific Learning Disability
Authors: Mawila Daphney 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIndividual factors are critical in navigating adversity; however, the influence of social ecologies on resilience should not be undervalued. Factors such as a relationship with caregivers, and contextual factors (i.e. culture, spirituality, education), serve as resilience enablers. This article investigated the role of caregivers and context as mediators on the impact of individual factors on resilience among learners presenting with Specific Learning Disability (SLD) at schools for Learners with Special Needs (LSEN). An explanatory quantitative research design was adopted, and mediation model was employed as the conceptual framework. Mediation models were developed for this study and regression analysis was used to test the models. The sample (N = 217 respondents) of this study was purposefully selected. The hypothesis was that individual factors have an impact on resilience. However, caregivers and context factors mediate this impact. The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28) was used to collect data. Results confirmed that although there are individual factors that enable resilience, the individual’s caregivers, and other factors in their context, strengthen their resilience development. The results of the study revealed that resilience of learners with SLD was enabled by a combination of individual factors and social-ecological factors (such as, caregivers and context). Therefore, a combination of factors is involved in the development of resilience.
Effect of cold deformation on the stress corrosion cracking resistance of a high-strength stainless steel

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking was investigated on a high-strength CrNiMnMoN austenitic stainless steel in the hot-rolled and in different cold-drawn states. The resistance against chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking was determined by slow strain rate tests in different chloride containing solutions at elevated temperatures. A fracture analysis was carried out using scanning electron microscopy. Improved resistance is obtained by the formation of deformation-induced twins. In addition, synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements show full austenite stability during all cold-drawing steps.

Published: November 2022

AbstractTo investigate if the Hypotension Prediction Index was an early indicator of haemodynamic instability in a negative inotropy porcine model, and to assess the correlation of commonly measured indicators of left ventricular systolic function. Eight anaesthetised pigs were volume resuscitated and then underwent an incremental infusion of esmolol hydrochloride (0-3000 mg/hr), following which it was then reduced in a stepwise manner. Full haemodynamic measurements were taken at each stage and measurements of left ventricular systolic function including left ventricular stroke work index, ejection fraction and peripheral dP/dT were obtained. At an infusion rate of 500 mg/hr of esmolol there were no significant changes in any measured variables. At 1000 mg/hr MAP was on average 11 mmHg lower (95% CI 1 to 11 mmHg, p = 0.027) with a mean of 78 mmHg, HPI increased by 33 units (95% CI 4 to 62, p = 0.026) with a mean value of 63. No other parameters showed significant change from baseline values. Subsequent increases in esmolol showed changes in all parameters except SVV, SVR and PA mean. Correlation between dP/dt and LVSWI was 0.85 (95% CI 0.77 to 0.90, p < 0.001), between LVEF and dP/dt 0.39 (95% CI 0.18 to 0.57, p < 0.001), and between LSWI and LVEF 0.41 (95% CI 0.20 to 0.59, p < 0.001). In this model haemodynamic instability induced by negative inotropy was detected by the HPI algorithm prior to any clinically significant change in commonly measured variables. In addition, the peripheral measure of left ventricular contractility dP/dt correlates well with more established measurements of LV systolic function.
Towering and internal rogue waves induced by two-layer interaction in non-uniform fluid. A 2D non-autonomous gCDGKSE
Authors: Abdel-Gawad H. I. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractA Generalized (2+1)-dimensional Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–Kotera–Sawada equation (2D- gCDGKSE) is an integro-differential equation that describes tow-layer fluid interaction. The non-autonomous (2+1)-dimensional gCDGKSE (NAUT-gCDGKSE) was rarely considered in the literature. In the previous works, the concepts of two-layer fluid interaction and non-uniform fluid were not explored. This motivated us to focus the attention on these themes. Our objective is to inspecting waves structures in non-uniform fluid which describes fluid flows near a solid boundary. Thus, the present work is completely new. Our objective, here, is to inspect waves which are similar to those created in waterfall, water waves behind dams, boat sailing, in the network of canals during water release, and internal waves in submarine. In a uniform fluid, rogue waves occur in open oceans and seas, while in the present case of non-uniform fluid, towering and internal rogue waves occur near barriers (islands) and near submarine, respectively. This was consolidated experimentally, as it was shown that rogue wave is produced in a water tank (which is with solid boundary). The exact solutions of NAUT-gCDGKSE are derived here, by implementing the extended unified method (EUM). In applications, it is found that the EUM is of lower time cost in symbolic computation, than when using Lie symmetry, Darboux and AutoBucklund transformations. The results obtained here are evaluated numerically, and they are displayed in graphs. They reveal multiple waves structures with relevance to waves created near a solid boundary. Among them are towering and internal rogue waves, internal (hollowed) and bulge-U-shape wave and S-shape wave, water fall, saddle wave, and dromoions.
The relationship between free will and consciousness
Authors: Asma Lieke Joske Franci 
Published: November 2022

AbstractReflection on the relationship between free will and consciousness has mainly revolved around Libet-style experiments, for example by criticizing the claim that conscious intentions never cause what we do. Less attention has been paid to whether this response captures the sense in which consciousness is relevant for free will, however. In this paper I argue that scholars seem to accept two assumptions they should reject: (1) that the relationship between free will and consciousness is best characterized in terms of conscious states and/or processes being part of the causal chain leading up to the action, and (2) that the third-person perspective is a suitable means to capturing the relationship between free will and consciousness. I provide an alternative proposal of how free will and consciousness may be related, in which an agent’s self-understanding of what she is doing and why, while acting, takes center stage. In order to capture the relationship between the two, I argue, the first-person perspective should be investigated instead of explained away.

Published: November 2022

AbstractWe present a reworked version of the SUMER spectral atlas (Curdt et al., 2001). New identifications are given for more than 100 emission lines; entries were corrected or added to the list. The solar emission curve – spectral radiance versus wavelength – in the SUMER spectral range is now available in digital format as electronic supplementary material. To reveal the true solar emission, second-order photons from the Lyman continuum have been discarded near the long wavelength section in the first order of diffraction.
Exploring Criticality in Chinese Philosophy: Refuting Generalisations and Supporting Critical Thinking
Authors: Normile Ian H. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractMuch of the literature exploring Chinese international student engagement with critical thinking in Western universities draws on reductive essentialisations of ‘Confucianism’ in efforts to explain cross-cultural differences. In this paper I review literature problematising these tendencies. I then shift focus from inferences about how philosophy shapes culture and individual students, toward drawing on philosophy as a ‘living’ resource for understanding and shaping the ideal of critical thinking. A cross disciplinary approach employs historical overview and philosophical interpretation within and beyond the Confucian tradition to exemplify three types of criticality common in Chinese philosophy. These are criticality within tradition, criticality of tradition, and critical integration of traditions. The result is a refutation of claims or inferences (intentional or implicit) that Chinese philosophy is not conducive to criticality. While this paper focuses ontypesof criticality, it also reveals a commonmethodof criticality within Chinese philosophy, in the form of ‘creation through transmission’. This resonates with recent research calling for less confrontational and more dialogical engagement with critical processes. However, I also draw attention to examples of confrontational argumentation within Chinese philosophy, which may provide valuable resources for educators and students. Finally, I conclude careful and explicit consideration is needed regarding the types of criticality sought within Western universities to prevent educators and students from ‘speaking past’ one and other instead of ‘speaking with’ one and other in critical dialogue.
