Published: March 2022

Background
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is the simultaneous occurrence of a cluster of predefined cardiovascular risk factors. Although individual MS components are associated with increased risk of cancer, it is still unclear whether the association between MS and cancer differs from the association between individual MS components and cancer. The aim of this matched case-control study was to estimate the association of 13 types of cancer with (1) MS and (2) the diagnosis of 0, 1 or 2 individual MS components.

Methods
Cases included 183,248 patients ≥40 years from the SIDIAP database with incident cancer diagnosed between January 2008-December 2017. Each case was matched to four controls by inclusion date, sex and age. Adjusted conditional logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between MS and cancer risk, comparing the effect of global MS versus having one or two individual components of MS.

Results
MS was associated with an increased risk of the following cancers: colorectal (OR: 1.28, 95%CI: 1.23–1.32), liver (OR: 1.93, 95%CI: 1.74–2.14), pancreas (OR: 1.79, 95%CI: 1.63–1.98), post-menopausal breast (OR: 1.10, 95%CI: 1.06–1.15), pre-menopausal endometrial (OR: 2.14, 95%CI: 1.74–2.65), post-menopausal endometrial (OR: 2.46, 95%CI: 2.20–2.74), bladder (OR: 1.41, 95%CI: 1.34–1.48), kidney (OR: 1.84, 95%CI: 1.69–2.00), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (OR: 1.23, 95%CI: 1.10–1.38), leukaemia (OR: 1.42, 95%CI: 1.31–1.54), lung (OR: 1.11, 95%CI: 1.05–1.16) and thyroid (OR: 1.71, 95%CI: 1.50–1.95). Except for prostate, pre-menopause breast cancer and Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, MS is associated with a higher risk of cancer than 1 or 2 individual MS components. Estimates were significantly higher in men than in women for colorectal and lung cancer, and in smokers than in non-smokers for lung cancer.

Conclusion
MS is associated with a higher risk of developing 11 types of common cancer, with a positive correlation between number of MS components and risk of cancer.

Background
The reporting quality in medical research has recently been critically discussed. While reporting guidelines intend to maximize the value from funded research, and initiatives such as the EQUATOR network have been introduced to advance high quality reporting, the uptake of the guidelines by researchers could be improved. The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of a biostatistician to the reporting and methodological quality of health research, and to identify methodological knowledge gaps.

Methods
In a retrospective, single center, observational cohort study, two groups of publications were compared. The group of exposed publications had an academic biostatistician on the author list, whereas the group of non-exposed publications did not include a biostatistician of the evaluated group. Rating of reporting quality was done in blinded fashion and in duplicate. The primary outcome was a sum score based on six dimensions, ranging between 0 (worst) and 11 (best). The study protocol was reviewed and approved as a registered report.

Results
There were 131 publications in the exposed group published between 2017 and 2018. Of these, 95 were either RCTs, observational, or prediction / prognostic studies. Corresponding matches in the group of non-exposed publications were identified in a reproducible manner. Comparison of reporting quality overall revealed a 1.60 (95%CI from 0.92 to 2.28, p <0.0001) units higher reporting quality for exposed publications. A subgroup analysis within study types showed higher reporting quality across all three study types.

Conclusion
Our study is the first to report an association of a higher reporting quality and methodological strength in health research publications with a biostatistician on the author list. The higher reporting quality persisted through subgroups of study types and dimensions. Methodological knowledge gaps were identified for prediction / prognostic studies, and for reporting on statistical methods in general and missing values, specifically.

Towards a dynamic behavioral profile of the Mandarin Chinese temperature termre: a diachronic semasiological approach
Authors: Liu Meili 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis study adopts a corpus-based behavioral profile approach, combining multifactorial usage-feature analysis with frequency-based quantitative analysis, to investigate the diachronic semasiological variation of the Mandarin Chinese temperature term 热re‘hot’. The result shows a dynamic behavioral profile, i.e., both the usage patterns and the semasiological structural weight of senses have been constantly shifting. The semasiology ofrehas been becoming more and more diversified over time. Methodologically, this study extends the traditional behavioral profile approach—hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis by applying multiple correspondence analysis and corroborating its validity in accounting for and visualizing the multifactorial nature of semasiological change of lexical items. Theoretically, the present study not only corroborates basic assumptions of usage-based cognitive semantics (e.g., non-discreteness, non-equality of senses, and bodily experience) but also complements it by demonstrating that sociocultural factors also play an important role in semasiological boundary variation of a lexical item.

Authors: Gąsiorek Kamila 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This study deals with the subject of the Fourth Industrial Revolution; that is, Industry 4.0 or Revolution 4.0 discusses its impact on contemporary road transport and the development of Transport 4.0. The needs of the industry as well as the transport industry change diametrically with the correspondingly sudden and rapid development of technology, as well as the requirements of companies hiring new employees. To meet the future requirements of Revolution 4.0, the vocational training program should undergo a major overhaul. Therefore, it is important to determine what skills and qualifications of employees of transport companies should be currently developed. The study presents fragments of analyses performed as part of the F2J – “Future-Ready Ed Right Skills To Right Job” project, financed by the European Commission under the Erasmus + Program. The main goal of this article is to identify the skills and characteristics of transport companies’ employees that are most required from the point of view of the Revolution 4.0. Both technical and soft skills to be imparted into the human workforce for Transport 4.0 were reported. Study shows the need to address the integration of the concept of Revolution 4.0 into the current education system. The article is based on the analysis of data from highly qualified employees who work in transport companies (practitioners), as well as people involved in education and comprehensive preparation of people for work in the transport industry (educators). A total of 63 people participated in the study.
Enzymatic treatments for improved dyeing of solid wood

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Full penetration-dyed solid wood has the advantage that furniture or other items fabricated from it do not require additional painting or staining. However, anatomical barriers along potential dye infiltration pathways may result in unsatisfactory dyeing in terms of depth of dye penetration or colour intensity and uniformity. Dyed wood items, even those intended for interior use, should also possess a certain degree of water fastness. In the present paper, full-thickness dyeing of radiata pine blocks was achieved with fibre-reactive and direct dyes as well as pine tannin. Leaching of the treated blocks in cold water removed excess dye but the target colours were well retained. Pectinase pre-treatment of wood blocks was shown to increase the uptake of fibre-reactive and direct dyes by tracheid cell walls and the uptake of tannin by rays, resin canals, and tracheid lumina. In the case of a direct dye and pine tannin, pectinase treatment markedly increased the intensity of the target colours. Combining tannin with laccase to achieve covalent bonding of tannin to wood lignin was associated with a small, albeit not statistically significant, shift towards the target colour.

Authors: Du Zhenmin , Jiang Zhenquan , Guo Cuiping 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The Li –Sn system was critically assessed by means of the CALculation of the PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) technique. The solution phases (liquid, body-centered cubic (αLi), body-centered tetragonal (βSn), hexagonal close-packed (βLi) and diamond (αSn)) were modeled with the Redlich-Kister equation. The intermetallic compounds Li7Sn2 and LiSn, which have a homogeneity range, were treated as the formulae (Li, Sn)7Sn2 and Li(Li, Sn) by a two-sublattice model with Li and Sn or Li on the first sublattice, Sn or Li and Sn on the second one, respectively. The others were treated as stoichiometric compounds. A set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters describing the Gibbs energy of each individual phase in the Li –Sn system was obtained.
Thermodynamic analysis of high-temperature heazlewoodite
Authors: Waldner Peter 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Experimental data for phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties have been used for thermodynamic analysis of the high-temperature heazlewoodite. A two-sublattice model in the framework of the Compound Energy Formalism is proposed for the Gibbs energy of a second high-temperature heazlewoodite phase around the composition Ni3S4. Optimized model parameters have been obtained which reproduce all data simultaneously within experimental error limits. The Gibbs energy modeling is carried out consistently with the recent assessment by the author of the nickel – sulfur system at 1 bar pressure over the entire composition range for temperatures from 25 °C to above the liquidus.
Effect of various niobium additions on microstructure and mechanical behavior of a NiAl–Cr–Mo eutectic alloy
Authors: Huai Kaiwen , Guo Jianting , Gao Qiang , Yang Rui 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The microstructure and compressive behavior of the NiAl – 28Cr – 6Mo alloy doped with various amounts of Nb have been investigated. The results show that the microstructure of all Nb-doped alloys mainly consists of three phases, viz. the gray lamellar Cr(Mo) plate, the black NiAl matrix, and Cr2Nb with C14-structure-type 1 Laves phase semicontinuously distributed at the cell boundary. All Nb-doped alloys exhibit relatively good room-temperature compressive ductility and higher yield strength at all temperatures compared to the NiAl – 28Cr – 6Mo eutectic alloy due to the presence of Laves phase. It is found that the NiAl – 28Cr – 6Mo alloy doped with 1 at.% Nb attains the optimum concerning high temperature strength and room temperature ductility.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
The phase equilibria of the Co–Cu –Ti system at 850 °C are investigated using a high-efficiency diffusion couple and six key ternary alloys. The samples are examined by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe microanalysis. At 850 °C, no ternary compound is found. The Ti3Cu phase is a metastable phase. The solubilities of Cu in Ti2Co, TiCo, TiCo2(c) and TiCo3 were determined to be 8.7, 35.8, 2.1, and 5.4 at.%, respectively. And the solubilities of Co in Ti2Cu, TiCu, Ti3Cu4, and TiCu2 were measured to be 6.6, 0.7, 2.4, and 10.2 at.%, respectively. The following 9 three-phase equilibria are observed: (Ti) + Ti2Co + Ti2Cu, Ti2Co + Ti2Cu + TiCo, Ti2Cu + TiCu + TiCo, TiCu + Ti3Cu4 + TiCo, Ti3Cu4 + TiCu2 + TiCo, TiCu2 + TiCo + (Cu), TiCo + TiCo2(c) + (Cu), TiCo2(h) + TiCo3 + (Cu), and TiCo3 + (Co) + (Cu).
Characterisation of short-range order using dislocations
Authors: Pettinari-Sturmel Florence , Douin Joël , Coujou Armand , Clément Nicole 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The mobile dislocation pile-ups observed during in situ straining experiments have been used as probes to describe the short-range order (SRO) present in the γ phase of nickel-base superalloys. An experimental approach, based on the measurement of the dislocation positions, to characterise the SRO has been developed. This paper focuses on the main results we have obtained on this topic. A quantitative analysis allows to get the chemical forces associated with SRO, and also the SRO degree. For the first time, the energies associated with SRO are evaluated along a dislocation pile-up as a function of temperature. More generally, a description of the SRO is proposed: SRO is seen as a heterogeneous distribution at the micrometer scale of nanometric areas. Another characteristic has been evidenced: the reversible character of the SRO creation.
Between microscopic and mesoscopic descriptions of twin–twin interaction
Authors: Müllner Peter 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
On a microscopic scale, deformation twinning is carried by the motion of twinning disconnections. A disconnection is an interfacial line defect characterized by a Burgers vector, a line vector, and a step vector. The Burgers vector (dislocation component of the disconnection) carries the deformation while the step vector (ledge component) carries the transformation from one twin variant to the other. On a mesoscopic scale, the deformation produced by twinning is a simple shear. A moving disclination dipole provides a mesoscopic model accounting for the twinning shear. Twin – twin interaction processes including the intersection of twins, the formation of structured twins, and the nucleation of cracks, may feature very complex mechanisms when analyzed on a microscopic scale. It turns out, however, that these mechanisms are controlled by the properties of large disconnection groups containing up to 10 000 disconnections and more. These properties are sufficiently well approximated in the disclination dipole model. The disclination model for twin – twin interaction predicts orientation and volume fractions of secondary twins. The model also predicts the nucleation of cracks and crack growth. The disclination model was used to analyze the ductile-to-brittle transition of austenitic steel deformed at low temperature. The mesoscopic disclination model for twinning is successful because it accounts for the properties and mechanisms of disconnection groups.
Influence of the thermoelastic effect on the acoustic properties of pure metals at low temperatures

Published: March 2022

Abstract
The influence of the thermoelastic effect on the sound propagation in metals is discussed. A strict description of the effect based on a combined solution of the equations of elasticity and heat conductivity is presented. It is shown that acoustic relaxation resonance caused by the thermoelastic effect can be observed when metal single crystals of high purity are studied by pulse-echo spectroscopy at about 10 K.
Small-angle scattering from spherical particles on randomly oriented interfaces
Authors: Paris Oskar , Aichmayer Barbara , Fratzl Peter 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Small-angle scattering (SAS) has long been used to study nucleation and growth of particles in solid or liquid matrices. In some special cases, nucleation of particles occurs on interfaces, e. g., grain boundaries in crystalline solids or membranes in a solvent. Clearly, the position of the particles is constrained in this case to a narrow region close to the interface, which leads to correlations between the particles. In the present paper, we derive simple expressions for the analysis of SAS data from particles located on planar interfaces, and compare the analytical approximations with computer simulations.
