State Changes: Prototypical Governance Figured and Prefigured
Authors: Johns Fleur 
Published: August 2022

AbstractMy 2019 article ‘From Planning to Prototypes: New Ways of Seeing Like a State’ (P2P) drew attention to some shortcomings of the kinds of critical, reformist impulses fostered in law and development work. I sought to show that persistent preoccupations with the destructive hubris of ‘top-down’ planning—especially state planning—bypassed the tendency for great power to be deployed in other stylistic modes: through the release and responsive tweaking of prototypes, for instance. This article engages with later developments—at one of P2P’s main field sites and scholarly literature in dialogue with P2P—to build upon the analysis therein. It elaborates on the kinds of power animated through prototyping, showing how prototyping is often combined with other governance styles and what it makes of the inputs on which law has typically been said to draw and of law’s claims to autonomy. It complicates the provenance of this style by reference to mid-to-late-twentieth century UN sanctions regimes, highlighting that governance prototyping is as much state-made as business-led and not restricted to the development field. With particular attention to the strangeness of the human user presupposed by prototyping, this article also aims to identify some modes of critical engagement to which this governance style might be answerable.

AbstractHealthcare institutions have been under pressure for years now, climaxing in the COVID-19 crisis. Even if they are not operating at a trouble spot of the current COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare leaders need to be highly resilient to remain effective as well as staying healthy themselves. The purpose of this study is to shed light on healthcare leaders’ challenges and, more important, their specific resilience factors. By doing so, we can expand the knowledge of this fragmented research field and deliver an integrated framework that has so far been lacking. We conducted 20 in-depth interviews with healthcare leaders. More precisely, 35% (7) of our interviewees were physicians, 55% (11) worked in nursing, and 10% (2) were nonclinical professionals, with 50% (10) of our participants working in upper, 40% (8) in middle, and 10% (2) in lower leadership positions. Based on a qualitative content analysis approach, we identified main healthcare leaders’ challenges as well as crucial resilience factors (i.e., individual, situational, and behavioral factors). By integrating insights from contemporary leadership and work-related resilience research, we were able to develop an integrated framework of healthcare leaders’ resilience. Considering resilience as a context-dependent construct, we are contributing to the resilience and healthcare literature by investigating the specialty of healthcare leaders’ resilience. This study is contributing to the future development of resilience interventions in healthcare organizations that might help not only healthcare leaders to better cope with critical situations but also promote resilience development among their followers and organizations.

Published: August 2022

AbstractCaloric irrigation (CI) is the gold standard to investigate peripheral vestibular dysfunction. The video head impulse test (vHIT) is faster and more accessible and may be useful during acute vertigo stroke risk differentiation. Comparative studies between the two methods are needed. The objective of this study was to compare vestibular function data derived from caloric irrigation with that from vHIT. This study included 80 patients with acute onset vertigo who underwent caloric irrigation and vHIT. CI derived sum of slow phase velocities (SPVs) and unilateral weakness (UW) were compared with vHIT vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain and gain asymmetry (GA) using correlation analyses. Optimal cut offs for vHIT VOR gain and GA were calculated using Youden indexes. There was a strong positive correlation between the asymmetry measures UW and GA whereas the correlation between the sum of SPVs and VOR gain was weaker. The optimal cut offs to diagnose unilateral vestibular weakness were 0.80 for VOR gain and 28% for GA; with specificities for predicting normal caloric irrigation results of 55% and 93%, respectively. In one third of cases the results from caloric irrigation and vHIT dissociated. The results from vHIT correlated with those from CI, still neither test seem to have the accuracy to replace the other. GA appears as an attractive measure in acute vertigo as the high specificity can be used to identify those with a substantial probability of normal vestibular function in need of more comprehensive work-up for central causes. To diagnose vestibular dysfunction, CI remains gold standard.

Abstract
Objective
To compare non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTMPD) diagnosis by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) with Bactec mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) 960.

Methods
A total of 422 patients with suspected NTMPD in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital between January 2020 and May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed; 194 were diagnosed with NTMPD. The diagnostic performance of mNGS and MGIT 960 for NTMPD was assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and areas under curve (AUCs) were compared.

Results
The sensitivity of mNGS in NTMPD diagnosis was 81.4% and higher than that of MGIT 960 (53.6%). The specificity of mNGS in NTMPD diagnosis was 97.8%, similar to that of MGIT 960 (100%). The sensitivity of combined mNGS and MGIT 960 in NTMPD diagnosis was 91.8%. The sensitivity of mNGS for bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), pulmonary puncture tissue fluid, and sputum was 84.8%, 80.6%, and 77.5%, respectively; all were higher than that of MGIT 960 (P < 0.05). The AUC of mNGS and MGIT 960 was 0.897 and 0.768, respectively. The AUC of mNGS were BALF (0.916), pulmonary puncture tissue fluid (0.903), and sputum (0.870).

Conclusion
The sensitivity of mNGS was superior to that of Bactec MGIT 960; the specificity in NTMPD diagnosis was similar. mNGS shows effective performance in NTMPD diagnosis.

Abstract
Introduction
Professional identity development is a central aim of medical education, which has been disrupted during COVID-19. Yet, no research has qualitatively explored COVID-19’s impact across institutions or countries on medical students’ identities. Kegan proposes a cognitive model of identity development, where ‘disorientating dilemmas’ prompt student development. Given the potential of COVID-related disruption to generate disorientating dilemmas, the authors investigated the ways in which COVID-19 influenced students’ identity development.

Methods
The authors conducted an international qualitative study with second year medical students from Imperial College London, and third year students from Melbourne Medical School. Six focus groups occurred 2020–2021, with three to six students per group. Authors analysed data using reflexive thematic analysis, applying Kegan’s model as a sensitising theoretical lens.

Results
COVID-19 has resulted in a loss of clinical exposure, loss of professional relationships, and a shift in public perception of physicians. Loss of exposure to clinical practice removed the external validation from patients and seniors many students depended on for identity development. Students’ experiences encouraged them to assume the responsibilities of the profession and the communities they served, in the face of conflicting demands and risk. Acknowledging and actioning this responsibility facilitated identity development as a socially responsible advocate.

Conclusions
Educators should consider adapting medical education to support students through Kegan’s stages of development. Measures to foster relationships between students, patients, and staff are likely necessary. Formal curricula provisions, such as spaces for reflection and opportunities for social responsibility, may aid students in resolving the conflict many have recently experienced.
A deterministic and nature-inspired algorithm for the fuzzy multi-objective path optimization problem
Authors: Ma Yi-Ming , Hu Xiao-Bing , Zhou Hang 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIncreasing evaluation indexes have been involved in the network modeling, and some parameters cannot be described precisely. Fuzzy set theory becomes a promising mathematical method to characterize such uncertain parameters. This study investigates the fuzzy multi-objective path optimization problem (FMOPOP), in which each arc has multiple crisp and fuzzy weights simultaneously. Fuzzy weights are characterized by triangular fuzzy numbers or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. We adopt two fuzzy number ranking methods based on their fuzzy graded mean values and distances from the fuzzy minimum number. Motivated by the ripple spreading patterns on the natural water surface, we propose a novel ripple-spreading algorithm (RSA) to solve the FMOPOP. Theoretical analyses prove that the RSA can find all Pareto optimal paths from the source node to all other nodes within a single run. Numerical examples and comparative experiments demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the newly proposed RSA. Moreover, in the first numerical example, the processes of the RSA are illustrated using metaphor-based language and ripple spreading phenomena to be more comprehensible. To the best of our knowledge, the RSA is the first algorithm for the FMOPOP that can adopt various fuzzy numbers and ranking methods while maintaining optimality.

Published: August 2022

AbstractWhale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), as a newly proposed swarm-based algorithm, has gradually become a popular approach for optimization problems in various engineering fields. However, WOA suffers from the poor balance of exploration and exploitation, and premature convergence. In this paper, a new enhanced WOA (EWOA), which adopts an improved dynamic opposite learning (IDOL) and an adaptive encircling prey stage, is proposed to overcome the problems. IDOL plays an important role in the initialization part and the algorithm iterative process of EWOA. By evaluating the optimal solution in the current population, IDOL can adaptively switch exploitation/exploration modes constructed by the DOL strategy and a modified search strategy, respectively. On the other hand, for the encircling prey stage of EWOA in the latter part of the iteration, an adaptive inertia weight strategy is introduced into this stage to adaptively adjust the prey’s position to avoid falling into local optima. Numerical experiments, with unimodal, multimodal, hybrid and composition benchmarks, and three typical engineering problems are utilized to evaluate the performance of EWOA. The proposed EWOA also evaluates against canonical WOA, three sub-variants of EWOA, three other common algorithms, three advanced algorithms and four advanced variants of WOA. Results indicate that according to Wilcoxon rank sum test and Friedman test, EWOA has balanced exploration and exploitation ability in coping with global optimization, and it has obvious advantages when compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms.

Published: August 2022

AbstractMulti-view clustering (MVC) has attracted more and more attention in the recent few years by making full use of complementary and consensus information between multiple views to cluster objects into different partitions. Although there have been two existing works for MVC survey, neither of them jointly takes the recent popular deep learning-based methods into consideration. Therefore, in this paper, we conduct a comprehensive survey of MVC from the perspective of representation learning. It covers a quantity of multi-view clustering methods including the deep learning-based models, providing a novel taxonomy of the MVC algorithms. Furthermore, the representation learning-based MVC methods can be mainly divided into two categories, i.e., shallow representation learning-based MVC and deep representation learning-based MVC, where the deep learning-based models are capable of handling more complex data structure as well as showing better expression. In the shallow category, according to the means of representation learning, we further split it into two groups, i.e., multi-view graph clustering and multi-view subspace clustering. To be more comprehensive, basic research materials of MVC are provided for readers, containing introductions of the commonly used multi-view datasets with the download link and the open source code library. In the end, some open problems are pointed out for further investigation and development.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Diversification of the Translational Science workforce is a strategic goal for the National Center for the Advancement of Translational Science (NCATS) program. NCATS has identified the development of translational science education, training, and support for a diverse translational science workforce as key to advancing the growing field of translational science. An annual mixed-methods assessment has been conducted on Common Metrics data submitted by over 60 Clinical & Translational Science Awards (CTSA) programs nationwide and includes metrics addressing recruitment and retention of scientists with particular attention to underrepresented persons and women. This article describes a methodology for the development of From Insights to Action, a resource for guiding program implementation and strategic planning to develop a diverse clinical and translational science workforce. This was informed by the Common Metrics Initiative process and constituted of findings from qualitative interviews of a subset of CTSAs that participated. The dissemination of this guide had several impacts, including providing structural foci for the CTSA Fall 2020 program meeting centered on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in translational science; addressing NCATS’ goal of workforce diversity; and understanding the number of diverse graduates still engaged in research.

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Introduction:
Research is an important aspect of many medical students’ training. However, many medical students are not required to complete a scholarly project, and formal research training is often fragmented across the medical school curriculum. Thus, we developed an online, structured, asynchronous set of modules to introduce trainees to multiple topics relevant to the conduct of research.

Methods:
Research 101 was piloted by 27 first-year medical students at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Students’ knowledge, confidence, and satisfaction were assessed using a final quiz and pre- and post-module surveys with five-point Likert-scaled questions and open-ended text responses.

Results:
Pre-module survey results showed that learners felt most confident in Conducting a literature search and least confident in Submitting an Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol at UC. Post-module mean scores were significantly increased compared to pre-module results for all modules and questions (P < 0.05). The response to “The content of this module met my needs” was high across all modules with 236 (84.0%) “yes” responses. Thematic analysis of open-ended text responses from post-module surveys identified several improvements to individual modules and to the overall structure of Research 101. A final quiz of 25 multiple choice questions covering content from all required modules was required. The median score was 21.

Conclusions:
Comparison of post-module to pre-module survey scores provided clear evidence of improved learning across all topics. The modules developed were responsive to the students’ needs, and students provided additional improvements for subsequent iterations of Research 101.
Quasi-adelic measures and equidistribution on
Authors: MAVRAKI NIKI MYRTO , YE HEXI 
Published: August 2022

AbstractBaker and Rumely, Favre, Rivera, and Letelier, and Chambert-Loir proved an important arithmetic equidistribution theorem for points of small height associated to an adelic measure. To broaden the scope in which arithmetic equidistribution may be employed, we generalize the notion of an adelic measure to that of a quasi-adelic measure and show that arithmetic equidistribution holds for quasi-adelic measures as well. We exhibit examples of non-adelic, quasi-adelic measures arising from the dynamics of quadratic rational maps. In fact, we show that the measures that arise in applications of arithmetic equidistribution theorems are typically not adelic. Finally, we motivate our definition of a quasi-adelic measure by relating it to a seemingly different problem in arithmetic dynamics arising from results of Call, Tate, and Silverman in the study of abelian varieties.
Indaziflam reduces downy brome (Bromus tectorum) density and cover five years after treatment in sagebrush-grasslands with no impact on perennial grass cover
Authors: Courkamp Jacob S. , Meiman Paul J. , Nissen Scott J. 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThe invasive annual grass downy brome (Bromus tectorumL.) is a critical threat to the semiarid shrublands that characterize western North America. More abundant fine fuel after invasion typically increases fire frequency in plant communities adapted to relatively infrequent burning, reducing the likelihood of native plant persistence. Currently, imazapic is most often used to manageB. tectorum, but reinvasion from the seedbank after treatment is common. Indaziflam is a newer herbicide recently labeled for use in rangelands grazed by livestock, and many research trials have demonstrated its ability to deplete invasive annual grass seedbanks. We evaluated the effectiveness of indaziflam and imazapic for reducingB. tectorumdensity and cover over a period of approximately 5 yr (57 mo after treatment [MAT]) at two invaded sagebrush-grassland sites near Pinedale, WY. Treatments included three different indaziflam rates (51, 73, and 102 g ai ha−1) and one imazapic rate (123 g ai ha−1), and these treatments were reapplied to half of each plot at 45 MAT to evaluate the effects of two sequential applications. We also measured perennial grass cover, because positive perennial grass responses were observed after release fromB. tectorumcompetition in other studies, and perennial grasses may provide resistance toB. tectorumreinvasion. Intermediate and high indaziflam rates (73 and 102 g ha−1, respectively) reducedB. tectorumcover and density at 45 MAT, and perennial grass cover responded positively to some treatments, mostly early in the study (≤33 MAT). Imazapic reducedB. tectoruminitially, but did not affect density or cover at either site beyond 21 MAT. Reapplication did not substantially improveB. tectorumcontrol at 57 MAT in plots treated with intermediate and high indaziflam rates, suggesting that long-term control with a single indaziflam treatment may be possible in some cases.
A randomized experiment evaluating survey mode effects for video interviewing

Published: August 2022

AbstractRising costs and challenges of in-person interviewing have prompted major surveys to consider moving online and conducting live web-based video interviews. In this paper, we evaluate video mode effects using a two-wave experimental design in which respondents were randomized to either an interviewer-administered video or interviewer-administered in-person survey wave after completing a self-administered online survey wave. This design permits testing of both within- and between-subject differences across survey modes. Our findings suggest that video interviewing is more comparable to in-person interviewing than online interviewing across multiple measures of satisficing, social desirability, and respondent satisfaction.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Single-cross pearl millet hybrids are widely grown in India, but this cultivar type has not been adopted in Africa. Hybrids from India have proven to be highly susceptible to downy mildew disease in Africa, the continent where the disease originated. We investigated an alternative strategy of growing topcross hybrids where both the parents are of African origin and both are only partially inbred. We investigated root characteristics – length, diameter, area, volume and dry weight – under drought stress and well-watered controlled conditions in genotypes that included potential parents of topcross hybrids. Several, including population Civarex 06_05, had better developed roots under drought while also having good roots under more favourable conditions. Some of these genotypes were backrossed to a male-sterile line based on the A4 cytoplasm to produce male-sterile populations with stable male sterility. Civarex 06_05 had good combining ability when used as a female parent and produced high-yielding topcross hybrids. Two of the topcross hybrids were on restorer populations Toroniou, originating from Mali, and Maiwa from Nigeria. On the experimental station and in farmers’ fields, one was much superior in yield to the best local alternatives and both had superior downy mildew resistance. Current efforts on the seed production of these topcross hybrids are described, and the constraints to the commercialisation in Mali of promising topcross hybrids are discussed.
Common Men, Exceptional Politicians: What Do We Gain from an Embodied Social Biographical Approach to Leftist Leaders Like Germany's August Bebel and Brazil's Luis Inácio Lula da Silva?

Published: August 2022

AbstractLula and His Politics of Cunning explores the origin, roots, and evolution of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva's vision, discourse, and practice of leadership as a process of becoming. This commentary invites historians of labor movements and the left to think beyond their geographical and chronological specializations. It argues that there is much to gain from thinking globally if we wish to achieve meaningful causal insights applicable to the sweep of capitalist development.
