AbstractPurposeSurgical fluorescence guidance has gained popularity in various settings, e.g., minimally invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. In pursuit of novel receptor-targeted tracers, the field of fluorescence-guided surgery is currently moving toward increasingly lower signal intensities. This highlights the importance of understanding the impact of low fluorescence intensities on clinical decision making. This study uses kinematics to investigate the impact of signal-to-background ratios (SBR) on surgical performance.MethodsUsing a custom grid exercise containing hidden fluorescent targets, a da Vinci Xi robot with Firefly fluorescence endoscope and ProGrasp and Maryland forceps instruments, we studied how the participants’ (N = 16) actions were influenced by the fluorescent SBR. To monitor the surgeon’s actions, the surgical instrument tip was tracked using a custom video-based tracking framework. The digitized instrument tracks were then subjected to multi-parametric kinematic analysis, allowing for the isolation of various metrics (e.g., velocity, jerkiness, tortuosity). These were incorporated in scores for dexterity (Dx), decision making (DM), overall performance (PS) and proficiency. All were related to the SBR values.ResultsMulti-parametric analysis showed that task completion time, time spent in fluorescence-imaging mode and total pathlength are metrics that are directly related to the SBR. Below SBR 1.5, these values substantially increased, and handling errors became more frequent. The difference inDxandDMbetween the targets that gave SBR < 1.50 and SBR > 1.50, indicates that the latter group generally yields a 2.5-fold higherDxvalue and a threefold higherDMvalue. As these values provide the basis for thePSscore, proficiency could only be achieved at SBR > 1.55.ConclusionBy tracking the surgical instruments we were able to, for the first time, quantitatively and objectively assess how the instrument positioning is impacted by fluorescent SBR. Our findings suggest that in ideal situations a minimum SBR of 1.5 is required to discriminate fluorescent lesions, a substantially lower value than the SBR 2 often reported in literature.

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Unternehmen mussten wegen der Pandemie im Frühjahr 2020 schnelle Lösungen für die Weiterarbeit – von zu Hause aus – finden. Die Arbeitsbedingungen zu Hause (Telearbeit) entsprechen nicht immer den Grundprinzipien und Qualitätskriterien der betrieblichen Gesundheitsförderung (BGF).

Fragestellung
Wie stark ist der Ansatz gesundheitsförderlicher Telearbeit (Arbeit im Homeoffice) in Betrieben verankert und was beeinflusst die strategische Etablierung und Nutzung unterstützender Materialien?

Material und Methoden
Theoretisch abgeleitete Hypothesen wurden operationalisiert und 1858 österreichische Betriebe zur Teilnahme an einer Online-Befragung eingeladen. Die Stichprobe (n = 192) repräsentiert einen breiten Mix aus Unternehmensgrößen, Sektoren und Regionen.

Ergebnisse
Betriebe variieren stark in der Absicht zukünftig gesundheitsförderliche Telearbeit umzusetzen. Ein Teil der Variation kann durch multivariate Pfadmodelle aufgeklärt werden, wobei die Verhaltenskontrolle und die sozialen Normen eine zentrale Rolle einnehmen. Erstere wird vom Grad der Vorbereitung auf Telearbeit und ihre Umsetzung im Unternehmen bestimmt. Insbesondere zeigt sich, dass die Telearbeitskultur und die ‑bereitschaft für die Stärke von sozialen Normen gegenüber der Umsetzung von Telearbeit verantwortlich sind.

Schlussfolgerung
Telearbeit wurde bisher zu wenig im Sinne einer ganzheitlichen BGF betrachtet. Eine derartige Umsetzung hängt stark von Unternehmensstrukturen und -prozessen, der Kultur und den Handlungsspielräumen der Entscheidungsträger ab. Betrieben wird empfohlen, Kompetenzen aufzubauen und sich am Konzept der Kapazitätsbildung zu orientieren.
The class of c-almost periodic functions defined on vertical strips in the complex plane

Published: June 2022

AbstractIn this paper, we develop the notion of c-almost periodicity for functions defined on vertical strips in the complex plane. As a generalization of Bohr’s concept of almost periodicity, we study the main properties of this class of functions which was recently introduced for the case of one real variable. In fact, we extend some important results of this theory which were already demonstrated for some particular cases. In particular, given a non-null complex number c, we prove that the family of vertical translates of a prefixed c-almost periodic function defined in a vertical strip U is relatively compact on any vertical substrip of U, which leads to proving that every c-almost periodic function is also almost periodic and, in fact, $$c^m$$

AbstractMultilayer commingled production is the most efficient development technique of coalbed methane under the condition of multiple coal seams. However, due to the differences in physical properties between multilayer superimposed gas-bearing systems, interlayer interference severely limits coalbed methane development in commingled production. To achieve multilayer-commingled production, interlayer interference must be reduced and the combination of production layers must be optimized. Physical simulations are an effective measure to achieve this goal. According to the characteristics of multiple thin interbeds, strong reservoir heterogeneity and interlayer pressure difference in the Surat basin, a physical model is established to simulate the multilayer-commingled production process of coalbed methane reservoirs and the gas production contribution, and a pressure change of each layer is analyzed. The greater the interlayer pressure difference, the more obvious the early backflow phenomenon of the low-pressure layer, the more obvious the difference of layered production contribution in the later stage, the lower the degree of commingled production and recovery, and the stronger the interlayer interference. In view of these, this study proposes a new experimental method named the succession production. The novelty of this method is to control the commingled production time, that is, the high-pressure layer is produced first, and the low-pressure layer is combined when the interlayer pressure is consistent. The results show that this method can eliminate the early backflow phenomenon of the low-pressure layer and reduce interlayer interference. Furthermore, the characteristics of interlayer interference and the change law of multilayer-commingled production capacity of succession and commingled production are clarified, providing theoretical and technical support for reducing interlayer interference and optimizing production layer combination to promote the efficient development of multiple thin interbedded coalbed methane reservoirs.

AbstractRecent studies report doubling numbers of deaths due to dementia. With such an escalating mortality rate related to cognitive decline diseases, like dementia, timely information on contributing factors and knowledge discovery from evidence-based repositories is warranted. A large amount of scholarly knowledge extracted from research findings on dementia can be understood only using human intelligence for arriving at quality inferences. Due to the unstructured data presented in such a massive dataset of scientific articles available online, gaining insights from the knowledge hidden in the literature is complex and time-consuming. Hence, there is a need for developing a knowledge management model to create, query and maintain a knowledge repository of key elements and their relationships extracted from scholarly articles in a structured manner. In this paper, an innovative knowledge discovery computing model to process key findings from unstructured data from scholarly articles by using the design science research (DSR) methodology is proposed. The solution caters to a novel composition of the cognitive script of crucial knowledge related to dementia and its subsequent transformation from unstructured into a structured format using graph-based next-generation infrastructures. The computing model contains three phases to assist the research community to have a better understanding of the related knowledge in the existing unstructured research articles: (i) article collection and construction of cognitive script, (ii) generation of Cypher statements (a knowledge graph query language) and (iii) creation of graph-based repository and visualization. The performance of the computing model is demonstrated by visualizing the outcome of various search criteria in the form of nodes and their relationships. Our results also demonstrate the effectiveness of visual query and navigation highlighting its usability.

Published: June 2022

AbstractDetecting early damage in civil structures is highly desirable. In the area of vibration-based damage detection, modal flexibility (MF)-based methods have proven to be promising tools for promptly identifying changes in the global structural behavior. Many of these methods have been developed for specific types of structures, giving rise to different approaches and damage-sensitive features (DSFs). Although structural type classification is an important part of the damage detection process, this part of the process has received little attention in most literature and often relies on the use of a-priori engineering knowledge. Moreover, in general, experimental validations are only performed on small-scale laboratory structures with controlled artificial damage (e.g., imposed stiffness reductions). This paper proposes data-driven criteria for structure-type classification usable in the framework of MF-based damage identification methods to select the most appropriate algorithms and DSFs for detecting and localizing structural anomalies. This paper also tests the applicability of the proposed classification criteria and the damage identification methods on full-scale reinforced concrete (RC) structures that have experienced earthquake-induced damage. The considered structures are a seven-story RC wall building and a five-story RC frame building, which were both tested on the large-scale University of California, San Diego-Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (UCSD-NEES) shaking table.

AbstractMillions of people rely on nature-rich farming systems for their subsistence and income. The contributions of nature to these systems are varied and key to their sustainability in the long term. Yet, agricultural stakeholders are often unaware or undervalue the relevance of those contributions, which can affect decisions concerning land management. There is limited knowledge on how farming practices and especially those that build more strongly on nature, including agroecological practices, may shape farmers’ livelihoods and well-being. We aim to determine the effect that farmer perception of contributions from nature, socioeconomic conditions, and farming practices, have on outcomes related to food security and human well-being. We conducted 467 household surveys in an agricultural growth corridor in rural Tanzania, which is also essential for nature conservation due to its high biodiversity and its strategic location between several protected areas encompassing wetland, forest, and grassland habitats. Results show that implementing more agroecological practices at farm scale has a positive effect on farmer well-being in the study landscape. Results also indicate that higher awareness of benefits from nature, as well as engagement with agricultural extension services, are associated with higher number of agroecological practices applied in the farm. This research confirms the relevance of capacity-building initiatives to scale up the uptake of agroecological practices in the tropics. It also shows, using empirical evidence, that farming practices taking advantage of nature’s contributions to people can positively affect food security and human well-being, even when those practices complement conventional ones, such as the use of synthetic inputs. Understanding the impact of agroecological farming on the well-being of smallholder farmers in the tropics paves the way for policy and program development that ensures global food demands are met in a sustainable way without compromising the well-being of some of the world’s most vulnerable people.
(Ho0.25Lu0.25Yb0.25Eu0.25)2SiO5 high-entropy ceramic with low thermal conductivity, tunable thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent resistance to CMAS corrosion

AbstractLow thermal conductivity, compatible thermal expansion coefficient, and good calcium—magnesium—aluminosilicate (CMAS) corrosion resistance are critical requirements of environmental barrier coatings for silicon-based ceramics. Rare earth silicates have been recognized as one of the most promising environmental barrier coating candidates for good water vapor corrosion resistance. However, the relatively high thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion coefficient limit the practical application. Inspired by the high entropy effect, a novel rare earth monosilicate solid solution (Ho0.25Lu0.25Yb0.25Eu0.25)2SiO5was designed to improve the overall performance. The as-synthesized (Ho0.25Lu0.25Yb0.25Eu0.25)2SiO5shows very low thermal conductivity (1.07 W·m−1·K−1at 600 °C). Point defects including mass mismatch and oxygen vacancies mainly contribute to the good thermal insulation properties. The thermal expansion coefficient of (Ho0.25Lu0.25Yb0.25Eu0.25)2SiO5can be decreased to (4.0–5.9)×10−6K−1due to severe lattice distortion and chemical bonding variation, which matches well with that of SiC ((4.5–5.5)×10−6K−1). In addition, (Ho0.25Lu0.25Yb0.25Eu0.25)2SiO5presents good resistance to CMAS corrosion. The improved performance of (Ho0.25Lu0.25Yb0.25Eu0.25)2SiO5highlights it as a promising environmental barrier coating candidate.
Regionally extended shared socioeconomic pathways for the offshore wind industry in Finland

Published: June 2022

AbstractOffshore wind energy is increasingly becoming an important part of European and global low-emission power systems. The aims of this paper are to create a shared understanding on the major drivers of offshore wind development in Finland and to explore how these drivers, and opportunities for the entire industry, may develop over the twenty-first century, under different global futures. This research develops extended shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) narratives for the offshore wind industry by using a virtual participatory workshop with expert stakeholders. According to our results, the five key drivers shaping the prospects of offshore wind development are public acceptability of offshore energy, global and national demand for low-emission energy, technological development and relative competitiveness of offshore energy, availability of space and wind resources, and energy markets and transmission infrastructure. Nationally extended SSP narratives, building on these key drivers, describe a wide range of alternative future risks and opportunities for developing offshore energy. Under sustainable development (SSP1), offshore wind is likely to soon become a major source of energy in the area, if developed in a balanced manner alongside other uses of the marine space. Under fossil-fuelled development (SSP5), offshore wind grows slower and may experience rapid uptake only in the latter half of the century. Under the regional rivalry scenario (SSP3), the need for local energy sources drives the national energy policies and may create new opportunities for offshore wind. Under the inequality scenario (SSP4), local municipalities and the residents decide on locations of new wind turbines and the overall magnitude of future offshore wind.
Exploring the impact of leader humility on different types of voice: the role of employee other-oriented motivations
Authors: Zhou Qiwei , Chen Keyu 
Published: June 2022

AbstractDrawing on social learning theory and taking a motivational perspective, this study mainly investigates how leader humility can promote employees' other-oriented motivations, and uncovers the other-serving motivational mechanism through which leader humility can impact their employees' different types of voice behavior. By collecting data from 152 leader–subordinate dyads through an online survey, the results revealed that leader humility was positively related to both employees' prosocial motivation and organizational concern motivation. Meanwhile, these two motivations play mediating roles in explaining how leader humility can positively affect employees' supportive voice and challenging voice. It is noteworthy that leader humility, which features highlighting the value and strength of others, is more likely to trigger employees' prosocial motivation and thus influence their voice behavior. This research extends our understanding of leader humility, employee motivation, and workplace voice. Practical implications and limitations of the results are also discussed.

Published: June 2022

AbstractObjective.Anxiety can interfere with attention and working memory, which are components that affect learning. Statistical models have been designed to study learning, such as the Bayesian Learning Model, which takes into account prior possibilities and behaviours to determine how much of a new behaviour is determined by learning instead of chance. However, the neurobiological basis underlying how anxiety interferes with learning is not yet known. Accordingly, we aimed to use neuroimaging techniques and apply a Bayesian Learning Model to study learning in individuals with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD).Methods.Participants were 25 controls and 14 individuals with GAD and comorbid disorders. During fMRI, participants completed a shape-button association learning and reversal task. Using a flexible factorial analysis in SPM, activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and hippocampus was compared between groups during first reversal. Beta values from the peak of these regions were extracted for all learning conditions and submitted to repeated measures analyses in SPSS.Results.Individuals with GAD showed less activation in the basal ganglia and the hippocampus only in the first reversal compared with controls. This difference was not present in the initial learning and second reversal.Conclusion.Given that the basal ganglia is associated with initial learning, and the hippocampus with transfer of knowledge from short- to long-term memory, our results suggest that GAD may engage these regions to a lesser extent during early accommodation or consolidation of learning, but have no longer term effects in brain activation patterns during subsequent learning.

AbstractThis study compares the δ15N values and the trophic position of two seabird species throughout the late Holocene in three regions in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean to assess the hypothesis that the decimation of megafauna led to changes in the trophic position of mesopredators. Modern and ancient mollusk shells were also analyzed to account for changes in the isotopic baseline through time. Results revealed that modern Magellanic penguins have higher δ15N values than their ancient conspecifics in the three regions, after controlling for changes in the isotopic baseline. This was also true for modern Imperial shags compared with ancient unidentified cormorants/shags from the two areas where ancient specimens were recovered (southern Patagonia and the Beagle Channel). Such temporal variability might be caused by three non–mutually exclusive processes: decreased availability of pelagic squat lobster resulting from decreasing primary productivity through the late Holocene, increased availability of small fishes resulting from the sequential depletion of other piscivores (South American fur seal and sea lion and Argentine hake) since the late eighteenth century, and modification of the migratory patterns of Magellanic penguins. Although disentangling the relative contribution of all those processes is impossible at this time, the results reported here demonstrate that the ecology of Magellanic penguins and Imperial shags has undergone major changes since the late Holocene.
