Abstract
Background
There is a lack of knowledge about the career paths and employment situation of young medical oncologists. The aim of our study was to evaluate the current professional standing of these professionals in Spain.

Methods
The Spanish Society of Medical Oncology + MIR section conducted a national online survey in May 2021 of young medical oncology consultants (< 6 years of expertise) and final year medical oncology residents.

Results
A total of 162 responses were eligible for analysis and included participants from 16 autonomous communities; 64% were women, 80% were consultants, and 20% were residents. More than half of the participants performed routine healthcare activity and only 7% research activity. Almost three quarters (73%) were subspecialized in a main area of interest and almost half of these chose this area because it was the only option available after residency. Half of the respondents (51%) considered working abroad and 81% believed the professional standing in Spain was worse than in other countries. After finishing their residency, only 22 were offered a job at their training hospital. Just 16% of participants had a permanent employment contract and 87% were concerned (score of ≥ 5 on a scale of 1–10) about their job stability. In addition, one quarter of the participants in our study showed an interest in increasing their research activity.

Conclusions
The choice of subspecialty in medical oncology may depend on job opportunities after residency rather than personal interest. The abundance of temporary contracts may have influenced the job stability concerns observed. Future mentoring strategies should engage in building a long-term career path for young medical oncologists.
CleverRiver: an open source and free Google Colab toolkit for deep-learning river-flow models
Authors: Luppichini Marco , Bini Monica , Giannecchini Roberto 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn a period in which climate change is significantly varying rainfall regimes and their intensity all over the world, river-flow prediction is a major concern of geosciences. In recent years there has been an increase in the use of deep-learning models for river-flow prediction. However, in this field we can observe two main issues: i) many case studies use similar (or the same) strategies without sharing the codes, and ii) the application of these techniques requires good computer knowledge. This work proposes to employ a Google Colab notebook called CleverRiver, which allows the application of deep-learning for river-flow predictions. CleverRiver is a dynamic software that can be upgraded and modified not only by the authors but also by the users. The main advantages of CleverRiver are the following: the software is not limited by the client hardware, operating systems, etc.; the code is open-source; the toolkit is integrated with user-friendly interfaces; updated releases with new architectures, data management, and model parameters will be progressively uploaded. The software consists of three sections: the first one enables to train the models by means of some architectures, parameters, and data; the second section allows to create predictions by using the trained models; the third section allows to send feedback and to share experiences with the authors, providing a flux of precious information able to improve scientific research.
Neurorights – Do we Need New Human Rights? A Reconsideration of the Right to Freedom of Thought
Authors: Hertz Nora 
Published: November 2022

AbstractProgress in neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides unprecedented insights into the human brain. There are increasing possibilities to influence and measure brain activity. These developments raise multifaceted ethical and legal questions. The proponents of neurorights argue in favour of introducing new human rights to protect mental processes and brain data. This article discusses the necessity and advantages of introducing new human rights focusing on the proposed new human right to mental self-determination and the right to freedom of thought as enshrined in Art.18 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and Art. 9 European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). I argue that the right to freedom of thought can be coherently interpreted as providing comprehensive protection of mental processes and brain data, thus offering a normative basis regarding the use of neurotechnologies. Besides, I claim that an evolving interpretation of the right to freedom of thought is more convincing than introducing a new human right to mental self-determination.
Geographic, Socio-Demographic and School Type Variation in Adolescent Wellbeing and Mental Health and Links with Academic Competence in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Marquez Jose , Lambert Louise , Cutts Megan 
Published: November 2022

AbstractInterest in adolescents’ wellbeing and mental health is growing worldwide, but little research in this area has been conducted in certain world regions and countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Geographic, socio-demographic and school type differences in adolescent wellbeing and mental health are commonly observed in the field, and the UAE is a diverse country where these types of differences have been found for other outcomes (notably, academic). Yet, no prior national study has explored these differences in terms of wellbeing and mental health in the nation. We address this gap by investigating differences across emirates, gender, socio-economic status, immigrant status, school sector and school curriculum for overall life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, meaning and purpose in life, and internalizing difficulties. We use linear regression to analyse cross-sectional data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study from 2015 and 2018. We find substantial geographic, socio-demographic and school type differences in levels (2018) of wellbeing and mental health -which vary across distinct domains- and declines (2015–2018) of wellbeing. Better wellbeing and mental health are observed in the northern emirates and among boys. Better wellbeing and poorer mental health are observed among nationals (compared to expatriates) and in public schools (compared to private schools). Despite presenting the best academic outcomes, British schools present the worst wellbeing and mental health outcomes. However, results show the absence of a trade-off between academic competence and wellbeing and mental health, with evidence of a small positive association with wellbeing.

Beach responses to coastal structures and their impacts on tourism investment, Sidi Abd El-Rahman coastal zone − Mediterranean Sea, Egypt
Authors: El-Masry Esraa Aziz 
Published: November 2022

AbstractSidi Abd El-Rahman coastal zone is a hub of luxury tourism along the Mediterranean Sea of Egypt. It has several types of coastal structures, such as groins, revetments, jetties, and breakwaters connected to the shore; these structures were constructed to mitigate coastal erosion, recreational activities, and other purposes. The study area has undergone an extensive erosion process since 2016. Therefore, the present study aims to assess shoreline change rates and beach area change over the last 27 years (1995–2022) and their impacts on the tourism investment in Sidi Abd El-Rahman coastal zone. To attain the objectives of the present study, multi-temporal satellite images and Digital Shoreline Analysis System software have been used to detect and quantify shoreline changes. In addition, the most recent tourism real-estate prices were used to estimate the economic loss due to the beach loss. The analysis showed that the Sidi Abd El-Rahman coast can be divided into four zones, according to the intensity of the erosion process. The results showed that the average rate of shoreline displacement is − 0.08 (± 1.5) m/year (mild erosion), 0.24 (± 1.4) m/year (mild accretion), and − 1.3 (± 4.3) m/year (moderate erosion) for the intermediate periods 1995–2005, 2005–2015, and 2015–2022, respectively. The lost beach surfaces dominate those gained by accretion, and the overall sediment budget is negative. The beaches of Marassi Resort are the most eroded spot after building the new marina at the center of this resort. Accordingly, the present study recommends the implementation of soft solutions nourishment scheme for eroded beaches with strict regulations and an awareness program, and in addition, mitigate the impact of the new marina built at Marassi Resort using environmental assessment and coastal modeling techniques or modifying its design concerning the Dubai Palm Island to reduce its impact on adjacent beaches.
The effects of safety certification and nutrition messaging on the demand for nutritionally enhanced food in urban Ethiopia
Authors: Jada Kaleb S. , Melesse Mequanint B. , van den Berg Marrit 
Published: November 2022

AbstractMicronutrient deficiency is among the most significant public health problems in Ethiopia. In this setting, food fortification has been identified as a cost-effective and sustainable strategy to deliver essential micronutrients. Safety certification and nutrition education messages can be used to nudge people to choose fortified foods. However, there is little evidence as to the effectiveness of such interventions in this context. This paper aims to fill this gap. We focus on cooking oil, as it has been identified as an ideal candidate for vitamin A fortification in Ethiopia. To study consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for safety certification and vitamin A fortification, we implemented a stated choice experiment on 996 randomly selected urban consumers to reveal preferences required to calculate WTP. To estimate the causal effect of messages on consumers’ WTP for fortification, a nutrition message on the benefits of vitamin A was provided to 518 randomly selected participants. We found that consumers valued safety certification. This finding holds for certification issued by both government and private parties, with a higher value ascribed to the former. We also found that urban consumers were willing to pay a premium for vitamin A fortification. The nutrition message increased WTP for fortification, albeit only slightly. Finally, we found that the effect of safety certification on consumers’ WTP for fortified cooking oil was higher than its effect on WTP for non-fortified oil, indicating that urban consumers value certification even more when fortification is involved.
Inklusive Übergangsgestaltung?!
Authors: Rohrmann Albrecht , Theile Manuel 
Published: November 2022

ZusammenfassungIn den vergangenen Jahren erfährt die Phase des Leaving Care in Praxis, Politik und Forschung eine verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit. Dabei gerät jedoch die Gruppe von jungen Menschen mit Behinderungen, die im Erwachsenenalter Leistungen der Eingliederungshilfe in Anspruch nehmen, selten in den Blick. Bislang ist wenig bekannt über das Erleben und die Bewältigung solcher Übergänge durch junge Menschen mit Behinderungen selbst, die im Anschluss oder nach einer Zeit der Heimerziehung in Formen des Wohnens im Rahmen der Erwachsenenhilfe leben. Nach einer Einführung in das Thema „Inklusive Übergangsgestaltung?!“ mit Einblicken in die Gesetzesgrundlage und den Forschungsstand erfolgt die Darstellung von Ergebnissen einer empirischen Forschung. Grundlage bildet hierbei ein ausführliches narrativ ausgerichtetes Leitfadeninterview mit einem jungen Menschen, der in Formen der Heimerziehung aufgewachsen ist und zum Zeitpunkt der Erhebung mit der Unterstützung durch eine rechtliche Betreuung und pädagogische Unterstützung zur Bewältigung des Alltags (§ 113 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 i. V. m. § 78 SGB IX) in seiner eigenen Wohnung lebt. Daraus werden am Ende des Beitrages Schlussfolgerungen für die weitere Betrachtung einer inklusiven Übergangsgestaltung zur Diskussion gestellt.
Coding Dancing Figural Animations: Mathematical Meaning-Making Through Transitions Within and Beyond a Digital Resource
Authors: Kynigos Chronis , Karavakou Myrto 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe investigate three 8th-grade students’ mathematical meanings developed in the context of using linked representations to generate animations of figural models tuned in musical rhythm in “MaLT2,” a programmable Turtle Geometry in 3D resource affording dynamic manipulation of variable values. We adopted a modified version of the UDGS (Using, Discriminating, Generalizing, Synthesizing) model, introduced by Hoyles and Noss in 1987, in order to frame and analyze students’ mathematical meaning-making process involving setting out goals; posing conjectures; using mathematical ideas to test them; and exploring, generalizing, and expanding these ideas. This dynamic process was contextualized and connected to a flow of two different types of transitions: (1) transitions within the different representations of MaLT2 and (2) transitions beyond MaLT2, among the representational contexts of the digital microworld, artistic ideas, and abstract mathematics. In our analysis, we use this theoretical concept to trace the kind of mathematical meanings connected to multidisciplinary notions embedded in dance and music, such as synchronicity, symmetry, periodicity, and harmony, emerging from this learning context. We also look into the way these mathematical meanings were gradually evolved from being implicitly integrated in digital and artistic ideas to being reflected on and generalized.
Geodesic complexity via fibered decompositions of cut loci
Authors: Mescher Stephan , Stegemeyer Maximilian 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe geodesic complexity of a Riemannian manifold is a numerical isometry invariant that is determined by the structure of its cut loci. In this article we study decompositions of cut loci over whose components the tangent cut loci fiber in a convenient way. We establish a new upper bound for geodesic complexity in terms of such decompositions. As an application, we obtain estimates for the geodesic complexity of certain classes of homogeneous manifolds. In particular, we compute the geodesic complexity of complex and quaternionic projective spaces with their standard symmetric metrics.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish a quantitative estimate for Durrmeyer-sampling type operators in the general framework of Orlicz spaces, using a suitable modulus of smoothness defined by the involved modular functional. As a consequence of the above result, we can deduce quantitative estimates in several instances of Orlicz spaces, such as $$L^p$$

L

The Austrian Health Information System “ÖGIS” – supporting implementation of the Public Health Action Cycle in Austria
Authors: Fülöp G. , Burgmann S. , Maier G. , Mathis-Edenhofer S. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe Austrian National Public Health Institute (GÖG) started to develop the Austrian Health Information System (ÖGIS) by combining technology of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and common approaches of epidemiology in the early 1990ies. Today, ÖGIS is designed as a specific GIS-application, continuously maintained and developed further by in-house development within GÖG and accessible to all employees of GÖG as well as to interested external institutions and persons. ÖGIS covers all major data sources relevant to health, health determinants and the health care system in Austria. It is used for epidemiological research, health reporting, health services monitoring and research as well as for integrated planning of the health care system. After ÖGIS has proven itself as a useful support for implementation of the Public Health Action Cycle in Austria over many years, the maintenance of the ÖGIS databases will be continued and the employment of ÖGIS for purposes of regional health services research will be intensified in the upcoming years.
Identification of the compressive trigonal crystal field and orbital polarization in strained monolayer α-RuCl3 on graphite

Published: November 2022

Abstractα-RuCl3 is a tantalizing playground to search for the quantum spin liquid states with leading Kitaev term due to the conformation of Jackeli–Khaliullin mechanism. Suppressing the non-Kitaev interaction to approach the Kitaev limit is the major objective in the experimental design of Kitaev–Jackeli–Khaliullin materials, for which the practical feasibility rests on the manipulation of the exact crystalline structure. A tensile strain, leading to the further compressive trigonal field splitting which would alter the spin-orbital entangled character and tune the intrinsic hopping exchanges, has been widely proposed as the promising strategy to enhance the comparative Kitaev interaction. In this work, we preform in-depth Scan Tunneling Microscope study on the electronic patterns of strained α-RuCl3 monolayer on graphite substrate. Based on Chen’s derivative rule, a further trigonal field splitting is identified by analyzing the lateral-gradient imaging effect caused by an anisotropic tip. A spatial variation of the magnitude of trigonal crystal field due to the slight inhomogeneity of strain accords with the orbital polarization near the Mott gap. All evidences point to the facts that the compressive trigonal crystal field in the stretched α-RuCl3 monolayer lifts the degeneracy of t2g states with higher $\text{e}_{\text{g}}'$

and lower a1g orbitals, and the Coulomb interactions of the $\text{e}_{\text{g}}'$

Association of anti-mullerian hormone and free androgen index level on response to clomiphene citrate in PCOS infertile women
Authors: Washington Jasmine Kavitha , Manivasakan Jayasree , Gunasekaran Kala Poomalar , R. Sasikala 
Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility. Clomiphene citrate, insulin-sensitizing drugs, aromatase inhibitors, gonadotropins, or laparoscopic ovarian drilling are various methods used for ovulation induction in women with PCOS. PCOS women with high levels of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and free androgen index (FAI) do not respond well to ovulation induction. This prospective observational study explores the relationship between FAI and AMH levels on ovarian response to clomiphene citrate in infertile women with PCOS.MethodsThis prospective observational study included 40 infertile with PCOS who underwent ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate with dose ranging from 50 to 150 ​mg. Participants were classified into four phenotypes by NIH(National Institute of Health) consensus panel criteria. The clinical and endocrine parameters of participants who were sensitive to clomiphene were compared to those who were resistant.ResultsThe most common phenotype was A, with all three features of PCOS: hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphology. There was no significant difference in clinical and endocrine parameters among the different phenotypes of PCOS except AMH and FAI values. The mean FAI was 9.39 ​± ​1.11 and AMH 7.26 ​± ​0.48 (ng/ml) in clomiphene resistant and 5.31 ​± ​1.93 and 3.69 ​± ​1.84 (ng/ml) respectively in clomiphene-sensitive women. Women with FAI > 7.5 and AMH >7 ​ng/ml might be resistant to clomiphene.ConclusionFAI and AMH values were significantly higher in women resistant to clomiphene induction. AMH and FAI may help women with PCOS to tailor their ovulation induction protocol.
Epistemic Sanity or Why You Shouldn't be Opinionated or Skeptical
Authors: Dantas Danilo Fraga 
Published: November 2022

AbstractI propose the notion of ‘epistemic sanity’, a property of parsimony between the holding of true but not false beliefs and the consideration of our cognitive limitations. Where ‘alethic value’ is the epistemic value of holding true but not false beliefs, the ‘alethic potential’ of an agent is the amount of extra alethic value that she is expected to achieve, given her current environment, beliefs, and reasoning skills. Epistemic sanity would be related to the holding of (true or false) beliefs that increase the agent's alethic potential (relevant beliefs) but not of beliefs that decrease it (this is related to cognitive parsimony). Suspension of judgment, forgetting, and clutter avoidance are the main contributors to an agent's epistemic sanity, where this paper focuses on suspension. I argue that rational suspension favors the holding of true and relevant beliefs, which is not the case for the extremes of opinionation (no suspension) and skepticism (general suspension). In the absence of evidence, opinionated agents are often forced to rely on principles such as the principle of indifference, but suspension dominates indifference in terms of alethic value in some conditions. A rational agent would only find it beneficial to adopt skepticism if she considers herself to be an anti-expert about her entire agenda, but then ‘flipping’ beliefs maximizes expected alethic value in relation to skepticism. The study of epistemic sanity results in an ‘impure’ veritism, which can deal with some limitations of veritism (e.g., explaining the existence of false but relevant beliefs).
