Published: March 2022

ZusammenfassungGlobale Umweltveränderungen, die dem technischen Fortschritt, der wachsenden Bevölkerung, der wachsenden Wirtschaft und dem daraus resultierenden Verlangen nach immer mehr Ressourcen geschuldet sind, wirken auf die natürlichen Regelkreise die das Ökosystem Erde steuern ein. Die zukünftige Vermeidung der Überbeanspruchung der Umwelt stellt eine der größten Herausforderungen dar, die die Menschheit zu lösen hat. Durch die Unterzeichnung der Pariser Klimaziele sowie der Sustainable Development Goals wurden die Weichen zur Abkehr vom bisherigen Wirtschafts- und Produktionssystem gestellt. Als Beitrag zur Lösung dieser Problematik wurde die European University on REsponsible Consumption And PROduction (EURECA-PRO) unter der Schirmherrschaft der Europäischen Union und des Erasmus Programmes gegründet. Abgesehen von einer strategischen Agenda im Bereich der Lehre entwickelte EURECA-PRO auch eine ambitionierte Forschungsagenda mit derzeit fünf Leuchtturm Forschungsrichtungen, die scherpunktmäßig Lösungen für das Bewältigen von negativen globalen Umweltveränderungen entwickeln sollen. EURECA-PRO nutzt die Synergien der Vernetzung von sieben Universitäten und einer Reihe assoziierter Partner aus verschiedenen Stakeholder Gruppen.

Abstract
Introduction
Nowadays, more than 80% of newly diagnosed classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients can be cured and become long-term survivors due to risk and response-adapted treatment strategies. A well-known side effect is cognitive dysfunction that appears in HL patients after chemotherapy. In the present study, we aimed to measure cognitive dysfunction in our HL patients in this study and to find potential correlations between patient-related factors, the signs and symptoms of their diseases, or therapeutic factors.

Methods
We carried out a computer-assisted assessment (CANTAB) of cognitive dysfunction in 118 patients. We examined the domains of visual memory, attention, working memory, and planning.

Results
The median age of 64 females and 54 males at diagnosis was 29 (13–74) and 41 (21–81) years at the completion of CANTAB. Fifty-two percent of all patients showed cognitive impairment. Attention was impaired in 35% of patients, the working memory and planning were impaired in 25%, while visual memory was affected in 22%. All the three functions showed a significant association with inactive employments status. A close correlation was found between visual memory/working memory and planning, higher age at HL diagnosis or the completion of CANTAB test, and disability pensioner status.

Discussion
Our investigation suggests that patients with inactive employment status and older age require enhanced attention. Their cognitive function and quality of life can be improved if they return to work or, if it is not possible, they receive a cognitive training.
Economic assessment of converting a pressurised water distribution network into an off-grid system supplied with solar photovoltaic energy

Published: March 2022

AbstractConverting a water pressurised distribution network into an off-grid pumping station supplied by solar photovoltaics represents a challenge for utility managers, user demand assessments evaluate the energy generated in a solar-powered systems to establish energy consumption. This work includes quantifying potential investments and economic savings that could be achieved, as well as the payback period which results as an indicator of the suitability of adapting to a power supply utilising solar panels. A tool (UAsolar) to aid practitioners has been developed, it requires a calibrated hydraulic model to account for the energy requirements in the water delivery process of pressurised networks. The authors encourage students, professionals, and decision-makers to use this tool to identify potential efficiency gains (e.g., delivery schedule, reduction of water use) and to synchronise energy production and consumption. Users can get results with low computational time using the software on six pressurised distribution networks. Practitioners should note that the irrigation networks have sized installations with a few photovoltaic modules, while in urban pressurised networks the results show larger installations are required. In addition, irrigation network managers can match energy demand with energy production by changing consumption over time, this could reduce the quantity of modules required and remove the need for energy storage. The payback period ranges from 6.08 to 13 years for the cases where the investment is recovered—(values that show that this investment yields a high return as the lifetime of the PV modules is 25 years). However, one municipality among those studied shows that in some scenarios it is not viable to convert networks into a standalone system.

Authors: Cui Bobin , Wang Jungang , Li Pan , Ge Maorong , Schuh Harald 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe performance of precise point positioning (PPP) has been significantly improved thanks to the continuous improvements in satellite orbit, clock, and ambiguity resolution (AR) technologies, but the convergence speed remains a limiting factor in real-time PPP applications. To improve the PPP precision and convergence time, tropospheric delays from a regional network can be modeled to provide precise correction for users. We focus on the precise modeling of zenith wet delay (ZWD) over a wide area with large altitude variations for improving PPP-AR. By exploiting the water vapor exponential vertical decrease, we develop a modified optimal fitting coefficients (MOFC) model based on the traditional optimal fitting coefficients (OFC) model. The proposed MOFC model provides a precision better than 1.5 cm under sparse inter-station distances over the Europe region, with a significant improvement of 70% for high-altitude stations compared to the OFC model. The MOFC model with different densities of reference stations is further evaluated in GPS and Galileo kinematic PPP-AR solutions. Compared to the PPP-AR solutions without tropospheric delay augmentation, the positioning precision of those with 100-km inter-station spacing MOFC and OFC is improved by 25.7% and 17.8%, respectively, and the corresponding time to first fix (TTFF) is improved by 36.9% and 33.0% in the high-altitude areas. On the other hand, the OFC model only slightly improves the TTFF and positioning accuracy when using the 200 km inter-station spacing modeling and even degrades the positioning for high-altitude stations, whereas using the MOFC model, the PPP-AR solutions always improve. Moreover, the positioning precision improvement of MOFC compared with OFC is about 22.1%, 21.7%, and 25.7% for the Galileo-only, GPS-only, and GPS + Galileo PPP-AR solutions, respectively.

Abstract
Both children and adults have been shown to benefit from the integration of multisensory and sensorimotor enrichment into pedagogy. For example, integrating pictures or gestures into foreign language (L2) vocabulary learning can improve learning outcomes relative to unisensory learning. However, whereas adults seem to benefit to a greater extent from sensorimotor enrichment such as the performance of gestures in contrast to multisensory enrichment with pictures, this is not the case in elementary school children. Here, we compared multisensory- and sensorimotor-enriched learning in an intermediate age group that falls between the age groups tested in previous studies (elementary school children and young adults), in an attempt to determine the developmental time point at which children’s responses to enrichment mature from a child-like pattern into an adult-like pattern. Twelve-year-old and fourteen-year-old German children were trained over 5 consecutive days on auditorily presented, concrete and abstract, Spanish vocabulary. The vocabulary was learned under picture-enriched, gesture-enriched, and non-enriched (auditory-only) conditions. The children performed vocabulary recall and translation tests at 3 days, 2 months, and 6 months post-learning. Both picture and gesture enrichment interventions were found to benefit children’s L2 learning relative to non-enriched learning up to 6 months post-training. Interestingly, gesture-enriched learning was even more beneficial than picture-enriched learning for the 14-year-olds, while the 12-year-olds benefitted equivalently from learning enriched with pictures and gestures. These findings provide evidence for opting to integrate gestures rather than pictures into L2 pedagogy starting at 14 years of age.
A critical review on the effects of process-induced porosity on the mechanical properties of alloys fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

Published: March 2022

AbstractLaser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is an emerging additive manufacturing technique that is currently adopted by a number of industries for its ability to directly fabricate complex near-net-shaped components with minimal material wastage. Two major limitations of LPBF, however, are that the process inherently produces components containing some amount of porosity and that fabricated components tend to suffer from poor repeatability. While recent advances have allowed the porosity level to be reduced to a minimum, consistent porosity-free fabrication remains elusive. Therefore, it is important to understand how porosity affects mechanical properties in alloys fabricated this way in order to inform the safe design and application of components. To this aim, this article will review recent literature on the effects of porosity on tensile properties, fatigue life, impact and fracture toughness, creep response, and wear behavior. As the number of alloys that can be fabricated by this technology continues to grow, this overview will mainly focus on four alloys that are commonly fabricated by LPBF—Ti-6Al-4 V, Inconel 718, AISI 316L, and AlSi10Mg.
Ever Thought About Strikes? Development of a Scale to Assess Attitudes and Behavioral Reactions to Strikes
Authors: Vesper Denise , König Cornelius J. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractStrikes are a recurrent phenomenon in many countries. However, research on strikes from a psychological perspective has been limited. By developing a sound measure to assess attitudes and behavioral reactions to strikes, we will be in a better position to evaluate these constructs in individuals and compare across studies. Therefore, we developed a scale to assess attitudes and behavioral reactions to strikes following classic scale development guidelines using four samples (total N = 1369; N1 = 304, N2 = 209, N3 = 443, N4 = 413). In Study 1, we used exploratory factor analysis to reduce the generated items to a scale and showed that the strike attitude and behavioral reactions scale consists of one affective factor (negative reactions towards strikes), one cognitive factor (legitimacy of strikes), and three behavioral factors (informing oneself about strikes, strike-related social network behavior, and support of strikers). Study 2 confirmed these five factors and showed acceptable psychometric properties. Study 3 supported the construct validity of the developed scale: the five factors were correlated with willingness to strike and attitudes towards unions, among other variables. Study 4 further showed that the scale can also capture attitudes and behavioral reactions towards specific strikes. Overall, these studies indicate that the strike attitude and behavioral reactions scale is a psychometrically sound measure consisting of five factors.
Commercialization networks in emerging technologies: the case of UK nanotechnology small and midsize enterprises
Authors: Salehi Fatemeh , Shapira Philip , Zolkiewski Judy 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates how small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) utilize networks to commercialize emerging technologies. We build on literature on SMEs and innovation, networks, and how innovation occurs within collaborative arrangements. Contrasting network types and their influences on commercialization outcomes are probed in the context of SME value chain positions. An exploratory study is undertaken to offer a framework and findings that provide context and insight. We consider roles of SME agency and strategy to put forward a framework of network types. Using a multiple case approach of a sample of UK nanotechnology SMEs, value-chain positions and networks for commercialization are examined. Data are collected through semi-structured primary interviews with managers and informants and from secondary business databases and other sources.Commercialization outcomes are found to vary by SME network type and value chain positioning. SMEs can proactively create SME-led, peer-SME or broker-led networks that aid commercialization. SME-led networks enable successful commercialization of upstream and midstream products. Peer- SME networks are used for downstream commercialization. Broker-led networks facilitate commercialization in the upstream part of the value chain. Hybrid networks are used where SMEs pursue multiple commercialization strategies. Reactive approaches to networking and interrupted networks, regardless of value chain position, are unfavourable for commercialization. The study’s conceptual and managerial implications are discussed.

Published: March 2022

AbstractTransition to adulthood can be a challenging developmental task for adolescents with common mental health problems and is linked to adverse outcomes such as ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET). This study investigated longitudinal associations between adolescent psychosocial factors (e.g., self-esteem, aspirations, bullying, physical activity) and later NEET status among individuals with common mental health problems (i.e., depression and anxiety). A secondary data analysis of the Next Steps cohort study was completed using waves 2 and 8. Psychosocial factors, mental health, and background characteristics were captured when participants were aged 15–16 years (wave 2) while still in compulsory education. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire was used to identify adolescents with common mental health problems. The study population consisted of 2224 participants (females 66.8%) of which 1473 (66.2%) were aged 15 years and 751 (33.8%) were aged 16 years in wave 2. The outcome was NEET status at ages 25–26 years (wave 8). The results showed that after adjusting for background characteristics, adolescent self-esteem, locus of control, bullying, physical activity, job aspirations, and attitudes to school predicted NEET status. Educational aspirations, substance use, and behavioural problems were not significantly associated with NEET status. These findings provide new insights into the role of adolescent psychosocial factors in the context of education and employment outcomes for youth at risk and highlight the necessity of targeted mental health support to improve life chances.

Authors: Hassan Nada M. , Hamad Safwat , Mahar Khaled 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAlthough there is an improvement in breast cancer detection and classification (CAD) tools, there are still some challenges and limitations that need more investigation. The significant development in machine learning and image processing techniques in the last ten years affected hugely the development of breast cancer CAD systems especially with the existence of deep learning models. This survey presents in a structured way, the current deep learning-based CAD system to detect and classify masses in mammography, in addition to the conventional machine learning-based techniques. The survey presents the current publicly mammographic datasets, also provides a dataset-based quantitative comparison of the most recent techniques and the most used evaluation metrics for the breast cancer CAD systems. The survey provides a discussion of the current literature and emphasizes its pros and limitations. Furthermore, the survey highlights the challenges and limitations in the current breast cancer detection and classification techniques.
Parareal for index two differential algebraic equations
Authors: Garcia Idoia Cortes , Kulchytska-Ruchka Iryna , Schöps Sebastian 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis article proposes modifications of the Parareal algorithm for its application to higher index differential algebraic equations (DAEs). It is based on the idea of applying the algorithm to only the differential components of the equation and the computation of corresponding consistent initial conditions later on. For differential algebraic equations with a special structure as, e.g. given in flux-charge modified nodal analysis, it is shown that the usage of the implicit Euler method as a time integrator suffices for the Parareal algorithm to converge. Both versions of the Parareal method are applied to numerical examples of nonlinear index 2 differential algebraic equations.
Group Normative Propensities, Societal Positioning, and Childbearing: Ethno-linguistic Variation in Completed and Desired Fertility in Transitional Central Asia
Authors: Agadjanian Victor , Nedoluzhko Lesia 
Published: March 2022

AbstractConsiderable research in western, low-fertility contexts has examined minority-vs.-majority fertility differentials, typically focusing on minority groups’ cultural idiosyncrasies and on socioeconomic disadvantages associated with minority status. However, the formation and functioning of ethnic complexities outside the western world often diverge from the standard western model and so may their impact on fertility preferences, behavior, and outcomes. We expand on the previous research by analyzing ethnic variation in completed and desired fertility in the multiethnic transitional setting of Kyrgyzstan, where ethnic groups and their ethnolinguistic sub-parts are characterized by both different stages of the demographic transition and different positioning in the socioeconomic and political hierarchies. Using combined data from two rounds of a nationally representative survey, we find that ethnic-specific levels of completed fertility generally align with culturally shaped group-level normative propensities. In contrast, in desires to have a(nother) child, the ranking of the ethnic segments is more reflective of their collective societal positioning, with more disadvantaged segments having lower fertility desires, regardless of actual number of children and various other characteristics. We also find that ethnic homophily of respondents’ social milieu and their optimism about the future of their ethnic group are positively associated with fertility desires, even though these associations are more potently present among women, compared to men. We relate our findings to the extant scholarship and reflect on their implications for a better understanding of ethno-racial fertility dynamics and differentials in transitional contexts.

AbstractWe obtain a new characterization of the higher Sobolev space$W^{m,p}(\mathbb R^{n})$Wm,p(ℝn),$m\in \mathbb N$m∈ℕand$p\in (1, +\infty )$p∈(1,+∞)and of the spaceBVm, the space of functions of higher order bounded variation. The characterizations are in term of BMO-type seminorms. The results unify and substantially extend previous results in Fusco et al. (ESAIM Control Optim.

Quality of mobility measures among individuals with acquired brain injury: an umbrella review
Authors: Alhasani Rehab , Auger Claudine , Paiva Azevedo Matheus , Ahmed Sara 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Background and objective
While several mobility measures exist, there is large variability across measures in how mobility is conceptualized, the source of information and the measurement properties making it challenging to select relevant mobility measures for individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI). Therefore, the objective was to conduct a comprehensive synthesis of existing evidence on the measurement properties, the interpretability and the feasibility of mobility measures from various sources of information (patients, clinicians, technology) using an umbrella review of published systematic reviews among individuals with ABI.

Methods
Ovid MEDLINE, CINHAL, Cochrane Library and EMBASE electronic databases were searched from 2000 to March 2020. Two independent reviewers appraised the methodological quality of the systematic reviews using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist. Measurement properties and quality of evidence were applied according to COnsensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instrument (COSMIN) guidelines. Mobility measures were categorized using international standards with the international classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF).

Results
Thirty-five systematic reviews were included covering 147 mobility measures, of which 85% were mapped to the ICF Activity and Participation component. Results showed an acceptable overall "sufficient" rating for reliability, construct validity and responsiveness for 132 (90%), 127 (86%) and 76 (52%) of the measures, respectively; however, among these measures, ≤ 25% of the methods for evaluating these properties were rated as ‘high’ quality of evidence. Also, there was limited information that supports measure feasibility and scoring interpretability.

Conclusions
Future systematic reviews should report measures’ content validity to support the use of the measure in clinical care and research. More evaluations of the minimal important difference and floor and ceiling effects are needed to help guide clinical interpretation.
