The Lonely Afterlives of Early English Queens
Authors: Firth Matthew , Schilling Cassandra 
Published: October 2022

AbstractQueens were important figures within the court communities of pre-Norman England, their status defined by their relationship to the king, whether as queen-consort, queen-mother, queen-regent, or queen-dowager. These were positions with an attendant degree of prestige and authority, but a vulnerability to the vicissitudes of the king’s fortunes. Often this would lead to periods of exile from the court community. Such exiled queens could find refuge on their own lands or other communities, such as abbeys and foreign courts. This removal from the centre of power allowed the king to minimise or control any vestigial queenly status or authority, and guard against the exiled queen becoming a locus for alternative political factions. These queens-in-exile form the focus of this article, which seeks to establish not only the patterns and contexts that allowed such social isolation to occur, but queens’ emotional responses to it. Here there are four interlinked concepts: social isolation (exile), emotional isolation (loneliness), social loneliness (the absence of community), and emotional loneliness (the absence of a close individual). These are observable across the experiences of an array of literary and historical pre-Norman queens, fromBeowulfandElenethrough to royal women, such as Æthelflæd (d. 918), Eadgifu (d.c.966), and Emma of Normandy (d. 1052). Through the analysis of such experiences, it is possible to construct cultural perspectives on the exercise of queenly authority, on queenly vulnerability, and on queenly affect.

Abstract
Purpose
Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by high triglyceride levels, significant disease burden, and negative impacts on health-related quality of life. This project aimed to create a PROMIS-based patient-reported outcome measure that represents valid and important concerns for patients with FCS.

Methods
We reviewed the literature and data from a previous qualitative study of FCS to identify key FCS symptoms and impacts, which were mapped to PROMIS domains to create a pool of eligible items. Candidate items were reduced per expert feedback and patients with FCS completed cognitive interviews to confirm content validity and measure content.

Results
Literature and qualitative data review identified ten key symptoms and 12 key impacts of FCS, including abdominal pain, fatigue, difficulty thinking, and worry about pancreatitis attacks. We identified 96 items primarily from PROMIS, supplemented with items from the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders™ (Neuro-QoL™) and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) measurement systems. This pool was reduced to 32 candidate items, which were assessed via cognitive interviews with eight participants with FCS. Cognitive interview results and additional expert feedback led to the removal of four items and finalization of the PROMIS Profile v1.0—familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) 28.

Conclusions
The PROMIS Profile v1.0—familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) 28 provides strong content validity for assessing quality of life among patients with FCS. The benefits of PROMIS, including norm-referenced mean values for each measure, will facilitate comparison of patients with FCS to other clinical populations.
Dynamic urban evaluation routing protocol for enhanced vehicle ad hoc networks
Authors: Ali Zainab H. , Zaki John F. , El-Rashidy Nora 
Published: October 2022

AbstractRecently, a crucial need has grown for improving data communication for the application of roads and ad hoc networks. That is, to provide reliable and operational efficiency in data delivery and throughput. Due to the fast fragmentation and dynamic network behavior, there is an increasing demand to reach reliability in data transmission. Furthermore, the various features and the manifold of dynamic topologies in the vehicular ad hoc network raise the need to redesign the routing strategy. Thus, ensuring efficient and reliable data delivery. This paper aims to introduce a Software architecture for Road Network. The architecture is based on fog computing and aims to improve the overall performance in vehicular networks. The proposed architecture is a new routing design for the urban system to accomplish low energy consumption and operational efficiency in data delivery. The integration between the software-defined networks and fog computing platform in the proposed architecture aids to address the high rate of data transmission. Historically, this high rate negatively affected network capacity and power consumption. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed architecture, it is compared with five state-of-art algorithms published in high impact journals. The proposed architecture performance is tested based on four metrics namely packet delivery ratio, network throughput, power consumption, and routing overhead. The experimental results indicate that a 50–60% improvement in both power consumption and packet delivery ratio, while a 60–65% enhancement in network throughput and routing overhead, respectively.
Low-Temperature NOx Reduction by H2 on Mo-Promoted Pt/ZrO2 Catalysts in Lean Exhaust Gases
Authors: Schröder D. , Kureti S. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article aims to improve the low-temperature H2-deNOxperformance of the active Pt/ZrO2catalyst using MoOxas a promoter. For this purpose, a systematic series of Pt/ZrO2samples were prepared with a Pt content of 0.25 wt% and Mo loads from 0 to 10 wt%. The samples were physico-chemically characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction, N2physisorption, temperature-programmed desorption of CO and NH3, Raman spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy using NH3as probe molecule, while the H2-deNOxefficiency was investigated in a lean synthetic exhaust. The Pt/ZrO2catalyst with a Mo load of 3 wt% showed the best performance, including H2-deNOxbetween 80 °C and 150 °C, a maximum NOxconversion of 90% and N2selectivity up to 78%. Isolated MoOxspecies predominately present at Mo loads below 4 wt% were found to act as structural promoter by stabilizing the BET surface area, while also providing smaller Pt particles and more active Pt sites, respectively. By contrast, the aggregated Mo oxide moieties found at higher Mo loads exhibit a clearly weaker promotional effect. The structure–activity-selectivity correlations also suggest that the promoter additionally enables a SCR-related mechanistic pathway to be followed, including the spill-over of NHxspecies from the Pt sites to strong Lewis acid sites in the case of highly dispersed MoOxentities followed by reaction with NOx.

Published: October 2022

AbstractOrnamental grasses are often used in gardens to improve biodiversity and as additional aesthetical resources. However, their use in green roofs (GR) and living walls (LW) is not so widespread and it has not been studied extensively. The aim of this work is to assess the performance of seven grass species (Imperata cylindrica ‘Red Baron’,Acorus gramineus,Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Fails’,Carex flagellifera ‘Bronzita’,Carex oshimensis ‘Evergold’,Uncinia rubra ‘Everflame’andMiscanthus sinensis) for their use in GR and LW. The growth of the plants was evaluated (i.e. biomass production, dimensions), as well as their visual quality and survival.C. flagelliferaandC. oshimensisshowed coverage levels greater than 75% and good visual quality, whileA. gramineusreached 55–60%.I. cylindricaandM. sinensisshowed coverages slightly below 50% in the LW, however, both performed well in the GR, though with a lower visual quality.U. rubradid not develop well, reaching the lowest coverage (below 45%) but maintaining a high visual quality.S. tenuissimaalso attained low coverage in the LW and presented high mortality, especially in the GR. In LW,C. oshimensisstood out in flowering, whileS. tenuissimashowed the highest flowering rate in GR. The species should be selected considering their characteristics and performance in order to achieve a correct appearance and development. Interspecific interactions are especially important in LW, as species with upward growth should be placed above species with fallen leaves, not below.
Teachers’ role in digitalizing education: an umbrella review
Authors: Wohlfart Olivia , Wagner Ingo 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAs teachers are central to digitalizing education, we summarize 40 years of research on their role in that process within a systematic umbrella review that includes 23 systematic reviews with a total of 1062 primary studies focusing technology integration and aspects of digital literacy. Our findings highlight the international acceptance of the TPACK framework as well as the need for a clear concept of digital literacy. It is unique that we identify and discuss parallels in developing teachers’ digital literacy and integrating digital technologies in the teaching profession as well as barriers to those goals. We conclude by suggesting future directions for research and describing the implications for schools, teacher education, and institutions providing professional development to in-service teachers.
Hydromechanical state of soil fluidisation: a microscale perspective
Authors: Haq Shay , Indraratna Buddhima , Nguyen Thanh T. , Rujikiatkamjorn Cholachat 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates soil fluidisation at the microscale using the discrete element method (DEM) in combination with the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Numerical simulations were carried out at varying hydraulic gradients across the granular assembly of soil. The development of local hydraulic gradients, the contact distribution, and the associated fabric changes were investigated. Microscale findings suggest that a critical hydromechanical state inducing fluid-like instability of a granular assembly can be defined by a substantial increase in grain slip associated with a rapid reduction in interparticle contacts. Based on these results, a new micromechanical criterion is proposed to characterise the transformation of granular soil from a hydromechanically stable to an unstable state. The constraint ratio (ratio of the number of constraints to the number of degrees of freedom) is introduced to portray the relative slippage between particles and the loss of interparticle contacts within the granular fabric. Its magnitude of unity corresponds to the condition of zero effective stress, representing the critical hydromechanical state. In practical terms, the results of this study reflect the phenomenon of subgrade mud pumping that occurs in railways when heavy-haul trains pass through at certain axle loads and speeds.
Feasibility of the Use of Gas Phase Inhibition of Hydrogen Embrittlement in Gas Transmission Pipelines Carrying Hydrogen: A Review
Authors: Atrens Andrej , Gray Evan , Venezuela Jeffrey , Hoschke Joshua , Roethig Maximilian 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis review paper introduces a research project that seeks to quantify oxygen inhibition of gaseous hydrogen embrittlement with possible application for gas transmission pipelines transporting hydrogen. And it summarizes the compelling laboratory evidence that oxygen may inhibit gaseous hydrogen embrittlement. Quantification of oxygen inhibition of gaseous hydrogen embrittlement is needed to allow evaluation of this approach to the inhibition of hydrogen embrittlement in gas transmission pipelines. The experimental approach is explained as the quantification of the amount of hydrogen entering the steel from gas mixtures containing hydrogen using a purpose-built gas phase permeation cell.
Modelling and simulation of lightweight hollow pins as a substitution for solid shear pins used for assembly joints in aerospace applications

Published: October 2022

AbstractShear pins are generally used as a mechanical safeguard in assembly operations. They are considered sacrificial members which undergo early fracture to safeguard the other components in the assembly. Currently, solid shear pins are used and technically such pins add to the total weight of an assembly. Weight savings is one of the best contributions that can help the design of components to reduce weight and cost wise. In this regard, hollow shear pins can be a suitable alternative. However, there exists a minimum literature on the use of hollow shear pins in assemblies. The current work presents the theoretical and computational analysis of an industrially used solid shear pin that is modified as a hollow pin. Extensive modeling and simulation of the hollow pins are carried out to check the feasibility of replacing the solid shear pins with hollow shear pins. Due to the profound effect of the notch which changes stress concentration, it appears that weight savings using hollow notched pins possibly are not feasible while the hollow un-notched pins are beneficial. The industrial applicability of the hollow pins can be considered as beneficial components primarily towards functionality. In addition to the weight saving, they can also act as channels for passing wires and other similar entities of an assembly.

Published: October 2022

AbstractAim of the study was to assess the relationship between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and computed tomography-derived left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) in patients with arterial hypertension. 103 non-smokers with AH were included in the study (age 67.73 ± 8.84 years). ETS exposure was assessed with the Second-Hand Smoke Exposure Scale (SHSES). LV GLS was measured on computed tomography using feature tracking technology. In accordance with SHSES scale patients were divided into subgroups: subgroup A—no ETS exposure, subgroup B—low ETS exposure, subgroup C—medium ETS exposure, and subgroup D—high ETS exposure. Peak of LV GLS was statistically significantly lower in subgroup D than in subgroup A. There was a negative correlation between the exposure to ETS expressed by the SHSES scale and peak of LV GLS (r = − 0.35,p < 0.05). Regression analysis showed that higher SHSES score, higher age, left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and higher CAD-RADS are independent risk factors for lower peak of LV GLS values. On the contrary, the effective blood pressure control appeared to be independent protecting factor against lower peak of LV GLS values. In summary, there is an unfavorable weak relationship between ETS exposure estimated using the SHSES scale and LV GLS in hypertensive patients.

Published: October 2022

AbstractMetal halide perovskites (MHPs) have demonstrated excellent performances in detection of X-rays and gamma-rays. Most studies focus on improving the sensitivity of single-pixel MHP detectors. However, little work pays attention to the dark current, which is crucial for the back-end circuit integration. Herein, the requirement of dark current is quantitatively evaluated as low as 10−9 A/cm2 for X-ray imagers integrated on pixel circuits. Moreover, through the semiconductor device analysis and simulation, we reveal that the main current compositions of thick perovskite X-ray detectors are the thermionic-emission current (JT) and the generation-recombination current (Jg-r). The typical observed failures of p–n junctions in thick detectors are caused by the high generation-recombination current due to the band mismatch and interface defects. This work provides a deep insight into the design of high sensitivity and low dark current perovskite X-ray detectors.

“It’s Important to Think of Pepper as a Teaching Aid or Resource External to the Classroom”: A Social Robot in a School for Autistic Children
Authors: Lemaignan Séverin , Newbutt Nigel , Rice Louis , Daly Joe 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
For a period of 3 weeks in June 2021, we embedded a social robot (Softbank Pepper) in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school for autistic children. The robot’s behaviours and integration into the school were co-designed with the children and teachers, with a focus on improving the well-being of the pupils. Using a mix-method approach, we studied the robot’s adoption over the course of the study, and the impact of the robot’s presence on the children well-being and the school ecosystem. We found that the robot successfully integrated within the school; it fostered and maintained a steady level of interactions (330 interactions, 16 h of continuous use over 3 weeks) with a small yet meaningful group of children with a positive impact on their well-being; and it led to a nuanced conversation with the students and school staff about the role and impact of such a social technology in a SEN school.

Published: October 2022

AbstractCoastal ecosystems are characterized by high content of soil carbon storage; however, they experience severe land conversions in the past decades. The current study aims to examine how different land use/land cover (LU/LC) impact carbon stock in coastal ecosystem along Jazan coast, Saudi Arabia. In this study, impacts of LU/LC on carbon stocks in the coastal zone of Jazan, Saudi Arabia in 2009, 2013, and 2021 were assessed. Also, the LU/LC dynamics were evaluated using data provided by the land use dynamic model. The carbon stocks were modelled based on LU/LC using the InVEST program. Our study results showed that the decrease in mangroves from 2013 to 2021 reflects the high atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). Also, the increase in built-up areas might negatively impact total carbon stock. The estimated carbon stocks for the coastal zone of Jazan biome were 7279027.42 Mg C in 2009 (1Mg = 106 g). It decreased to 2827817.84 Mg C in 2013, with a total loss of − 4450675.40 Mg C, and an average of annual loss of − 1,112,669 Mg C in the study period with net value of − 461240790.53 US$. On the other hand, the total estimated carbon stock was increased from 2013 to 2021 with a 3772968.31 Mg C in 2021 (a total gain 944840.87 Mg C). Based on the current findings, we recommend that land-use-policy makers and environmental government agencies should implement conservation policies to reduce land use change at Jazan coastal ecosystems.
Income Taxation of Privately Informed Agents by a Leviathan Government
Authors: Wirl Franz 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper addresses how a Leviathan government taxes income if the earning potential is private information. This complements the normative analyses in the tradition of Mirrlees (1971). Taxes increase with respect to earning (potential and actual since taxation lowers observed earnings). However, accounting for the agent’s private information, average taxes (tax per income) decline for efficient types with zero marginal tax at the top. This conclusion is robust against alternative assumptions: a convex efficiency, i.e., high types are disproportionately more productive; an optimistic prior (i.e., high types are more likely), which, surprisingly, lowers the earnings of all types; and a government concerned about the welfare of its people.
The association of care satisfaction and COVID-19 contact restrictions with quality of life in long-term care homes residents in Germany: a cross-sectional study
Authors: von der Warth Rieka , Brühmann Boris A. , Farin-Glattacker Erik 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Quality of life (QoL) is a widely recognised outcome in residents of long-term care homes. However, little is known about the impact of care satisfaction on QoL. The aim of this study was to assess the association between care satisfaction and QoL in residents of long-term care homes. Additionally, we were able to assess the impact of the Covid-19 contact restrictions on QoL.

Methods
We applied a cross-sectional study in N = 40 long-term care homes in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. Using regression models, we analysed the association between QoL (operationalised through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment—Old Module [WHOQOL-OLD]) and self-rated nursing care satisfaction. The date on which the questionnaire was completed was used to calculate whether the completion was prior the emergence of the Covid-19 contact restrictions. Further potential confounders were included in the analysis.

Results
N = 419 residents of long-term care homes participated. Explained variance of QoL was low in our models at 2 to 16%. Self-rated nursing care satisfaction was the strongest predictor of QoL and positively linked to the following subdimensions of QoL: autonomy; past, present and future activities; social participation; intimacy. The Covid-19 contact restrictions were negatively linked to social participation.

Conclusion
Nursing care satisfaction was associated with QoL in residents of long-term care homes. Future research should focus on the direction of the association and different aspects of nursing care satisfaction with QoL. Furthermore, we showed the impact of contact restriction during the Covid-19 lockdown on social participation.

The second demographic transition in Japan: a review of the evidence
Authors: Raymo James M. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractDespite a half century of below-replacement fertility, Japan is typically not included in discussions and evaluations of the second demographic transition (SDT), a widely referenced framework for understanding family changes and attitudinal shifts associated with very low fertility. I address this limitation by drawing upon a range of published research and data sources to provide an empirical basis for thinking about how the Japanese experience does or does not conform to the general patterns of behavioral and attitudinal change associated with the SDT in the West. From this evidence, it seems clear that the prototypical pattern of family change in Northern and Western Europe has only partially emerged in Japan. The same is true of attitudes, particularly those related to gender. Consistent with depictions of the SDT in Europe, Japan has experienced substantial delays in marriage and childbearing along with notable increases in non-marital cohabitation and divorce. However, non-marital childbearing has remained at negligibly low levels and cohabiting unions have not emerged as an alternative to marriage. Attitudinal data show that endorsement of conventional family patterns and gender roles has declined, but remains at higher levels than in most SDT countries. Taken as a whole, these data describe a distinctive path to very low fertility in which universal forces of social and family change interact with strong normative expectations of two-parent families characterized by a clear gender division of labor.
