Abstract
Purpose
Adequate, needs-oriented psycho-oncological care contributes to reducing psychological distress in cancer patients and their relatives and improving quality of life. Regarding the precise determination of objective and subjective needs, there are often discrepancies in practice between the screening instrument completed by patients, the clinical impression of the treatment team, and the judgment of the psycho-oncology team.

Methods
The present multicenter study “OptiScreen”, involving three German Comprehensive Cancer Centers (Hannover, Leipzig, Dresden), aims to professionalize psychosocial screening to enable targeted and needs-based allocation to psycho-oncological support. Optimization and professionalization of the screening process will be achieved by training of oncological nursing staff to improve the targeted identification of distressed patients and provide them with needs-based psycho-oncological care. The non-randomized pre-post study will include inpatients with gastrointestinal cancers from the visceral oncology centers at the three sites. First, the comparison group (CG) will be assessed of N = 300. After completion of nursing training, the intervention group (IG) with N = 600 patients will be evaluated by validated questionnaires.

Results
The aim is to reduce barriers on both the patient and treatment side by promoting interdisciplinary dialogue and linking the screening with a personal consultation offer provided by the nurses, which should help to increase utilization and reduce patients' fears, shame and information deficits.

Conclusion
It is not sufficient to establish a well-validated screening procedure, it also has to be feasible and useful in clinical practice. “OptiScreen” aims to improve the psycho-oncological care situation. In parallel, the study enables the professionalization of psycho-oncological care with the involvement of important professional groups (e.g. nursing) and thus aims to develop a “best practice model”.
Adapting deep learning models between regional markets
Authors: Tonkin Isaac , Gepp Adrian , Harris Geoff , Vanstone Bruce 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis paper extends a series of deep learning models developed on US equity data to the Australian market. The model architectures are retrained, without structural modification, and tested on Australian data comparable with the original US data. Relative to the original US-based results, the retrained models are statistically less accurate at predicting next day returns. The models were also modified in the standard train/validate manner on the Australian data, and these models yielded significantly better predictive results on the holdout data. It was determined that the best-performing models were a CNN and LSTM, attaining highly significant Z-scores of 6.154 and 8.789, respectively. Due to the relative structural similarity across all models, the improvement is ascribed to regional influences within the respective training data sets. Such unique regional differences are consistent with views in the literature stating that deep learning models in computational finance that are developed and trained on a single market will always contain market-specific bias. Given this finding, future research into the development of deep learning models trained on global markets is recommended.

Biocrusts Modulate Climate Change Effects on Soil Organic Carbon Pools: Insights From a 9-Year Experiment
Authors: Díaz-Martínez Paloma , Panettieri Marco , García-Palacios Pablo , Moreno Eduardo , Plaza César , Maestre Fernando T. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractAccumulating evidence suggests that warming associated with climate change is decreasing the total amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) in drylands, although scientific research has not given enough emphasis to particulate (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) pools. Biocrusts are a major biotic feature of drylands and have large impacts on the C cycle, yet it is largely unknown whether they modulate the responses of POC and MAOC to climate change. Here, we assessed the effects of simulated climate change (control, reduced rainfall (RE), warming (WA), and RE + WA) and initial biocrust cover (low (< 20%) versus high (> 50%)) on the mineral protection of soil C and soil organic matter quality in a dryland ecosystem in central Spain for 9 years. At low initial biocrust cover levels, both WA and RE + WA increased SOC, especially POC but also MAOC, and promoted a higher contribution of carbohydrates, relative to aromatic compounds, to the POC fraction. These results suggest that the accumulation of soil C under warming treatments may be transitory in soils with low initial biocrust cover. In soils with high initial biocrust cover, climate change treatments did not affect SOC, neither POC nor MAOC fraction. Overall, our results indicate that biocrust communities modulate the negative effect of climate change on SOC, because no losses of soil C were observed with the climate manipulations under biocrusts. Future work should focus on determining the long-term persistence of the observed buffering effect by biocrust-forming lichens, as they are known to be negatively affected by warming.
Dogs’ ability to follow temporarily invisible moving objects: the ability to track and expect is shaped by experience

Published: September 2022

AbstractVisually tracking a moving object, even if it becomes temporarily invisible, is an important skill for animals living in complex environments. However, this ability has not been widely explored in dogs. To address this gap of knowledge and understand how experience contributes to such ability, we conducted two experiments using a violation of expectation paradigm. Dogs were shown an animation of a ball moving horizontally across a screen, passing behind an occluder, and reappearing with a timing that was faster, slower or congruent with its initial speed. In the first experiment, dogs (N = 15) were exposed to the incongruent conditions without prior experience; while in the second experiment, dogs (N = 37) were preliminarily exposed to the congruent stimulus. Dogs of the first experiment did not exhibit a surprise effect, as measured by latency to look away from the expected stimulus presentation area, in response to the incongruent conditions, suggesting they had not formed an expectation about the timing of reappearance. However, their latency to orient towards the reappearing ball depended on the condition, suggesting they were able, to some extent, to visually keep track of the stimulus’ trajectory. Dogs of the second experiment were surprised when the ball stayed behind the occluder longer than expected, but showed no difference in latency to orient across conditions. This suggests they had overcome the visual tracking mechanism and had formed expectations about the timing of reappearance. In conclusion, dogs seem to use a low-level mechanism to keep visual track of a temporarily disappearing moving object, but experience is required to make expectation about its trajectory.
Facial reduction for symmetry reduced semidefinite and doubly nonnegative programs
Authors: Hu Hao , Sotirov Renata , Wolkowicz Henry 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe consider both facial reduction, FR, and symmetry reduction, SR, techniques for semidefinite programming, SDP. We show that the two together fit surprisingly well in an alternating direction method of multipliers, ADMM, approach. In fact, this approach allows for simply adding on nonnegativity constraints, and solving the doubly nonnegative, DNN , relaxation of many classes of hard combinatorial problems. We also show that the singularity degree remains the same after SR, and that the DNN relaxations considered here have singularity degree one, that is reduced to zero after FR. The combination of FR and SR leads to a significant improvement in both numerical stability and running time for both the ADMM and interior point approaches. We test our method on various DNN relaxations of hard combinatorial problems including quadratic assignment problems with sizes of more than $$n=500$$

Coresets based asynchronous network slimming
Authors: Yin Wenfeng , Dong Gang , Zhao Yaqian , Li Rengang 
Published: September 2022

AbstractPruning is effective to reduce neural networks’ parameters and accelerate inferences, facilitating deep learning in resource-limited scenarios. This paper proposes an asynchronous pruning method for multi-branch networks on the basis of our previous work on channel coresets constructions, to achieve module-level pruning. Firstly, this paper accelerates coreset based pruning by batch sampling with a sampling probability decided on our-designed importance function. Secondly, this paper gives asynchronous pruning solutions with an in-place distillation of feature maps for deployment on multi-branch networks such as ResNet and SqueezeNet. Thirdly, this paper provides an extension to neuron pruning by grouping weights as channels. During tests on sensitivity of different layers to channel pruning, our method outperforms comparison schemes on object detection networks, indicating advantages of data-independent channel selections in maintaining precision. As shown in tests of asynchronous pruning solutions on multi-branch classification networks, our method further decreases FLOPs with a small accuracy decline on ResNet and acquires a small accuracy increment on SqueezeNet. In tests on neuron pruning, our method achieves an accuracy comparable to existing coreset based pruning methods by two solutions of precision recovery.

Published: September 2022

AbstractParent–child communication represents an important variable in clinical child and family psychology due to its association with a variety of psychosocial outcomes. To give an overview of instruments designed to measure the quality of parent–child communication from the child’s (8–21 years) perspective and to assess the psychometric quality of these instruments, we performed a systematic literature search in Medline and PsycInfo (last: February 25, 2022). Peer-reviewed journal articles published in English with a child-rated instrument measuring the quality of parent–child communication were included. Initial screening for eligibility and inclusion, subsequent data extraction, and quality assessment were conducted by couples of review team members. Based on the screening of 5115 articles, 106 studies reported in 126 papers were included. We identified 12 parent–child communication instruments across the studies. The Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale (PACS) was used in 75% of the studies. On average, the evidence for psychometric quality of the instruments was low. Few instruments were used in clinical and at-risk samples. Several instruments are available to rate parent–child communication from the child’s perspective. However, their psychometric evidence is limited and the theoretical foundation is largely undocumented. This review has limitations with regard to selection criteria and language bias.RegistrationPROSPERO: CRD42021255264.

Abstract
Background
To assess the influence of biometric measurements on the defocus curve after the implantation of enlarged depth-of-focus (EDoF) intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods
Patients who underwent cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of Tecnis Symfony IOL were enrolled. Preoperatively, axial length (AL), corneal keratometry (K), pupil size and corneal aberrations were measured. 1 month after surgery, distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities (VA) were recorded. At 3 months, monocular and binocular corrected contrast sensitivities under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions were measured with CSV-1000E test. At 6-months, the defocus curve between −5.00 to + 3.00 diopters (D) was assessed in steps of 0.50 D, and NEI-RQL-42 questionnaire was administered.

Results
One hundred thirty one eyes of 66 patients were included. Binocular logMAR VA better than 0.1 for intermediate vision was obtained in 90% of patients, whereas only 17.7% obtained that result in near vision. The rate of satisfaction was high (96%) and most of them (85.5%) had no or little difficulties in near vision. The mean amplitude of the defocus curve was 2.35D ± 0.73D, and smaller AL, smaller pupils, younger age, and male sex were associated with wider range of clear vision.

Conclusions
Tecnis Symfony IOL enables functional vision at all distances, but demographic variables and preoperative biometric measurements like AL and pupil size influence the postoperative amplitude of the defocus curve. These parameters could be used to predict the performance of EDoF IOLs.
Theoretical derivation and clinical validation of the resolution limit of human eye to spherical lens change: a self-controlled study
Authors: Yi Zhen , Jie Gao , Kai Cao , Jing Shen , wei Zhang , Yun Dai 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to deduce theoretically and verify the resolution limit of human eye to spherical lens change for more reasonable design of the trial lenses.

Methods
A total of 119 normal subjects with different myopia (not more than − 6D) were included. First, the resolution limit of discernible change in spherical power was derived based on the optical model. Then, the subjects were observed to see if they could perceive the changes in spherical power as per the resolution limit and compare the difference in the best-corrected visual acuity obtained with the resolution limit and interval of 0.25D.

Results
Assuming that the cone cell diameter is 3 μm and the pupil diameter of 4 mm, the theoretically resolution limit was 0.05D. When the diopter of spherical power was increased, the ratios of ability to perceive 0.05D spherical lens change were 98.3% and 96.7% in right and left eyes. When the diopter of spherical power was decreased, the ratios of ability to perceive 0.05D spherical lens change were 78.9% and 83.2% in right and left eyes. The best-corrected visual acuity obtained with the 0.05 D interval trial lens was significantly better than in the 0.25 D interval on both eyes (Right eye − 0.04 ± 0.07 vs − 0.02 ± 0.06, p < 0.001; Left eye − 0.07 ± 0.06 vs − 0.04 ± 0.06, t = 8.825, p < 0.001).

Conclusion
The resolution limit of human eye to spherical lens change was about 0.05D and the better corrected visual acuity can be obtained by adjusting the spherical power at an interval of 0.05D.

Logics and Agency in Public Management Research
Authors: Kinder Tony , Stenvall Jari , Talonen Antti 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe article analyses the negative effects of the use of logics in public organisation research on active human agency. We build up a new conceptual model with which to approach logics in current research on organising public services; suggesting ways in which current models using logics in public organisation research can be strengthened. Our contribution is two-fold: we argue that Elder-Vass’ approach benefits from close synthesis with social learning theory (including recent thinking on trust, emotions, and distributed learning) and secondly, that grounding all usage of logics in logic-of-practice helps avoid a reification of logics and thirdly that situated learning better suits public organisation problem solving that the application of ‘new’ universal solutions.
A level set approach to Ostwald ripening of trapped gas bubbles in porous media
Authors: Singh Deepak , Friis Helmer André , Jettestuen Espen , Helland Johan Olav 
Published: September 2022

AbstractOstwald ripening of gas bubbles is a thermodynamic process for mass transfer, which is important for both foam enhanced oil recovery and geological CO2 storage. We present a methodology for simulating Ostwald ripening of gas ganglia surrounded by liquid in arbitrary pore geometries. The method couples a conservative level set model for capillary-controlled displacement and a ghost-bubble technique that calculates mass transfer based on difference in chemical potentials. The methodology is implemented in a software framework for parallel computations. As a validation of the model, we show that simulations of bubble ripening in a pore throat connecting two pore bodies are consistent with previously reported trends in similar geometries. Then we investigate the impact of gas type, compressibility factor, and local capillary pressure on gas-bubble ripening in various water-wet pore geometries. The results confirm that gas solubility and compressibility factor are proportional to the rate of mass transfer. Our simulations suggest that Ostwald ripening has largest impact in heterogeneous or fractured porous structures where differences in gas-bubble potentials are high. However, if the liquid separating the gas bubbles is also a disconnected phase, which can happen in intermediate-wet porous media, the resulting local capillary pressure can limit the coarsening and stabilise smaller bubbles. Finally, we simulated Ostwald ripening on a 3-D pore-space image of sandstone containing a residual gas/water configuration after imbibition. Characterization of gas-bubble morphology during the coarsening shows that large ganglia get more ramified at the expense of small spherical ganglia that cease to exist.
Oral and intravenous iron treatment alter the gut microbiome differentially in dialysis patients
Authors: Liu Huan , Wu Wenqi , Luo Yankun 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Objective
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often complicated by anemia, which seriously affects the quality-of-life and prognosis of patients. These patients usually need iron replacement therapy. Oral iron affects the composition and abundance of intestinal flora by increasing intestinal iron concentration.

Methods
We undertook an interventional study to investigate the effects of oral versus intravenous iron therapy on the gut microbiota. Oral ferrous succinate tablets (n = 14) or intravenous iron sucrose (n = 14) was administered to anemic maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients for 2 months.

Results
Oral and intravenous iron treatments had different effects on gut microbial composition and diversity. After oral iron treatment, the α-diversity was decreased, while at the phylum level, the abundance of Firmicutes was reduced and the abundance of Bacteroides was increased. At the genus level, the abundance of Blautia and Coprococcus was decreased, and the abundance of Bacteroidetes was increased. Oral iron therapy was associated with a higher abundance of Lactobacillus compared with that measured in intravenous iron-treated patients. According to metagenome function prediction analysis, oral iron increased the metabolic processes of phenylalanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine. These changes may increase uremic toxin levels, thereby increasing the progression of renal disease.

Conclusion
Iron therapy affects the diversity and composition of gut flora in MHD patients. Oral iron affects the number of bacteria and increases amino acid metabolism compared with intravenous iron. These results indicate that intravenous iron may be more appropriate for MHD patients.

Porous aluminum oxide insulation materials tested in space mission
Authors: Ádám Péter , Dudás Levente , Temesi Ottó , Nagy András , Sinkó Katalin 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe eventual aim of this research work was to develop a new low-cost synthesis route to produce ultralight aluminum oxide ceramic fibers for high temperature insulation. This paper mainly focuses on the application of Al2O3 fibers as insulation materials in space vehicles. The study extended to check the fibers during the launch and in the conditions of space by a satellite test. The materials were monitored by thermo-vacuum and vibration tests before the launch. The long-term stability, the daily maximum and minimum temperature, and the temperature fluctuation were investigated in the satellite test. The data derived from satellite was collected in about 9 months. The other focus of this study was the characterization of fibers at high temperature. Al2O3 fibers were prepared by a new solution method and electrospinning technique. The developed Al2O3 fibers can be characterized by 0.035–0.037 W⋅mK−1 thermal conductivity, excellent heat resistance (up to 1600 °C), and good flexibility.
