Congruence of national and Europarty manifestoes in the EU elections 2019
Authors: Hackemann Phil 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper seeks to answer the question how congruent the policy positions of the four main Europarties were compared with their respective national member parties, as well as how they influenced each other in the drafting process, using the comparative example of German parties in the EU election 2019. It finds that the programmatic congruence of Euro- and their German member parties is small, with only insignificant coherences in issue salience and policy prioritization. In fact, some parties are even revealed to have higher programmatic congruence with other German parties than with their own Europarty. Nevertheless, cases of up- and downloading of policy positions as well as general political reconciliation processes are reported for all parties.
Upgrading models, evolutionary mechanisms and vertical cases of service-oriented manufacturing in SVC leading enterprises: Product-development and service-innovation for industry 4.0
Authors: Liu Hongda , Zhao Haifeng 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTo address Industry 4.0, service-oriented manufacturing unifies the development track of product development and service innovation and constructs a high-quality transformation path based on the service value chain. Therefore, analyzing the specific strategy of service-oriented manufacturing and clarifying its static connotation and dynamic evolution direction have become important topics in academic circles. First, based on the core logic of value creation, the upgrade model and critical contents of service-based manufacturing are studied and summarized using upgrade theory, guided by the evolutionary theory of enterprise deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Combining the service value chain (SVC) characteristics of leading enterprises, the influence mechanism of autonomy and otherness on service-oriented manufacturing is clarified. Second, the upgrade model content and upgrade evolution mechanism of service-oriented SVC manufacturing among leading enterprises are summarized. Four upgrade patterns—traditional manufacturing, service-based manufacturing progressive upgrade, and service-based manufacturing breakthrough upgrade I and II—are formed. The Hai Feng Ju Zhen (in Chinese; HFJZ) matrix of the guiding framework of service-oriented manufacturing development is finally formed using the service and manufacturing trends of enterprise revenue-cost. Finally, the complete process of service-oriented manufacturing is identified, presented, and explored using the vertical case of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) High Tech. The logical evolutionary framework of resource–capability–advantage–development guides enterprises to construct a spiral development system involving the static upgrading-dynamic evolution of service-oriented manufacturing. We also verify the practicability and regularity of each stage in service-oriented manufacturing through the actual case of AVIC High Tech. We find that enterprises should follow the logic of value creation and use the active introduction of service factors to break the bondage of diminishing production factors. The product development and service innovation of service-oriented manufacturing can double-track and thus should achieve the synergistic construction of the supply chain, value chain, and innovation chain. The upgrade mode of service-oriented manufacturing should be compatible with the state of an enterprise and should not blindly service and lead to the stagnation of development. Scientific research and judgment in terms of a service-oriented manufacturing trajectory and the construction of a development state compatible with service-oriented manufacturing are the keys to the formation of SVC-leading enterprises.
Evaluation of college admissions: a decision tree guide to provide information for improvement
Authors: Liu Ying-Sing , Lee Liza 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study uses decision trees to analyze the admissions and enrollment of Taiwan’s 5-year junior colleges to explore the reasons that students might fail in an exam-free admissions process, propose methods for improvement, and view the implementation of the pedagogical theory of multiple intelligences. The college admissions system may produce confusion in Taiwan. Schools in metropolitan areas retain an advantage for screening talent across multiple abilities, and colleges in agricultural counties may unintentionally marginalize people, resulting in insufficient enrollment or an inverse selection of talent. It has been suggested that increasing the number of schools in metropolitan areas will reduce the rates of enrollment failure and improve the compulsory education environment that many are forced to attend.
Vortex shedding controlled combustion of the wake flame of an n-heptane wetted porous sphere
Authors: Zhang Yajie , Yang Yajing , Wei Yanju , Liu Shenghua 
Published: October 2022

Aiming at the combustion characteristics of the microscopic flying fuel drops in fuel sprays in engines, an n-heptane wetted porous sphere (d0 = 6 mm) was employed to simulate the combustion of the fuel drops according to the flow similarity indicated by the Reynolds number (Re). The hot airflow provided by a wind tunnel with an inner diameter of 40 mm varied in flow velocity from U = 0.6 to 7.1 m/s and from temperature T = 423 to 723 K, with Re ∈ [0, 800]. Experimental results show that flow velocity plays a dominant role in determining the morphologies and fluctuation frequencies of the wake flame. The flame length and suspension height have a trade-off relationship and approach a linear relationship with the increase in air temperature. With increasing Re, the yellow flame gradually vanishes, and the blue flame ratio in the total flame increases following a hyperbolic tangent function. In addition, the length of the flame outline increases linearly with Re. The fluctuations in the flames under both natural and forced convective conditions and various air temperatures are proved to be determined by the vortex shedding behind the sphere, which helps one understand the underlying physics of spray combustion better.

Relativistic magnetron (RM) is a promising high-power microwave source, whose advantages include high efficiency, high power, and compact configuration. Enhancing power efficiency and output power are the most important two development directions for RM. Based on the two targets, a high efficiency and high power RM is presented and investigated numerically and experimentally in this paper. When the diode voltage is 485 kV, the beam current is 6.9 kA, and the magnetic field is 0.34 T, and high power microwave is generated with the power of 1.35 GW, frequency of 1.47 GHz, and power efficiency of 40.3% in the experiments.

Published: October 2022

Two newly developed, eight-channel, integrated Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) detectors have been installed at Huan-Liuqi-2A tokamak, which extends the existing 16 single-channel modular BES system with additional 16 spatial channels. The BES collects the Doppler-shifted Balmer Dα emission with a spatial resolution of 1 cm (radial) × 1.5 cm (poloidal) and a temporal resolution of 0.5 µs to measure long-wavelength (k⊥ρi &lt; 1) density fluctuations. Compared to the modular BES, the dark noise of the integrated BES is reduced by 50%–60% on average. The signal-to-noise ratio of the integrated BES system is optimized by the high light throughput front-end optics, high quantum efficiency photodiodes, high-gain, low-noise preamplifiers, and sufficient cooling capacity provided by the thermoelectric cooling (TEC) units that maintain the detectors at −20 °C. Crosstalk between channels that share the same optical system is found to be negligible. High-quality density fluctuation data enables 2D (radial–poloidal) imaging of turbulence, which allows for multi-channel spectral analysis, multi-channel cross-correlation analysis and velocimetry analysis. Preliminary results show that BES successfully captures the spatiotemporal features of the local turbulence and obtains statistically consistent turbulence characterization results.
Reply to ‘Comment on “Pendulum: the partial and global approach”’
Authors: Coelho Ricardo Lopes 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Coelho presented a pendulum motion experiment that aims to complement the solving strategy of the pendulum problem in introductory courses. Pendrill does not question the results of this experiment but the way of presenting them and adds a set of algorithms that could or should be used to address that motion. In this reply, I will discuss Pendrill’s main criticism and the implications of her approach and explain the rationale for using the 18th century pendulum teaching method in introducing the subject to novices.
Comment on ‘Pendulum: the partial and global approach’
Authors: Pendrill Ann-Marie 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The paper Pendulum: the partial and global approach combines a historic introduction to the theoretical treatment of pendulum motion with presentation of data from measurements on a single pendulum. This comment focuses on the presentation and analysis of experimental data, and how the use of dimensionless variables in graphs would make use of the mathematical properties, placing the single measurement in a more general context, including mass-independence and the isochronism (for small angles). The concept of ‘effective weight’ used by Coelho is then discussed in relation to inertial forces and the principle of equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass.
Using charge collection narrowing to tune from broadband to narrowband all-polymer photodetectors
Authors: Wang Xiao , Fang Yuan , Jin Hui , Jiang Wei , Gao Mile , Burn Paul L , E Shaw Paul 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
We report an all-polymer photodiode comprising a new electron-transporting polymer, PNNTH, that contains naphthalene diimide and thiazole moieties. PNNTH has strong absorption at around 670 nm and an electron mobility of ≈10−4 cm2 V−1 s−1. Bulk heterojunction films composed of PNNTH blended with the donor polymer, PBDTT-FTTE, in a weight ratio of 1:2 were found to have electron and hole mobilities of ≈10−5 cm2 V−1 s−1 and ≈10−4 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively. The photoresponse of conventional and inverted organic photodiodes containing the blend could be tuned from broadband (400–800 nm) to narrowband (50 nm full-width-at-half-maximum) simply by changing the thickness of the all-polymer blend. The narrowband response was achieved using the charge collection narrowing mechanism, which was enhanced by the unbalanced charge mobility. Transfer matrix-based optical modelling confirmed the wavelength dependence of the photoresponse. For both the broadband and narrowband photodiodes, the specific detectivity was greater than 1011 Jones.
Constraining the local pulsar population with the cosmic-ray positron fraction
Authors: Bitter Olivia Meredith , Hooper Dan 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Observations of the TeV halos associated with nearby pulsars indicate that these objects
inject significant fluxes of very high-energy electron-positrons pairs into the interstellar
medium (ISM), thereby likely providing the dominant contribution to the cosmic-ray positron
flux. In this paper, we use the cosmic-ray positron fraction as measured by the AMS-02
Collaboration to constrain the characteristics of the local pulsar population. For reasonable
model parameters, we find that we can obtain good agreement with the measured positron fraction up
to energies of Ee
∼ 300 GeV. At higher energies, the positron fraction is dominated
by a small number of pulsars, making it difficult to reliably predict the shape of the expected
positron fraction. The low-energy positron spectrum supports the conclusion that pulsars typically
transfer approximately η ∼ 5–20% of their total spindown power into the production of
very high-energy electron-positron pairs, producing a spectrum of such particles with a hard
spectral index, α ∼ 1.5–1.7. Such pulsars typically spindown on a timescale on the order
of τ ∼ 104 years. Our best fits were obtained for models in which the radio and
gamma-ray beams from pulsars are detectable to 28% and 62% of surrounding observers,
respectively.
On the primordial origin of the smoothing excess in the Planck temperature power spectrum in light of LSS data
Authors: Ballardini Mario , Finelli Fabio 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The Planck DR3 measurements of the temperature and polarization anisotropies power spectra of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) show
an excess of smoothing of the acoustic peaks with respect to ΛCDM, often quantified by a
phenomenological parameter A
L. A specific feature superimposed to the primordial power
spectrum has been suggested as a physical solution for this smoothing excess.
Here, we investigate the impact of this specific localized oscillation with a frequency linear
in the wavenumber, designed to mimic the smoothing of CMB temperature spectrum corresponding to
A
L ≃ 1.1–1.2 on the matter power spectrum.
We verify the goodness of the predictions in perturbation theory at next-to-leading order with a set of N-body simulations, a necessary step to study the non-linear damping of these primordial oscillations.
We show that for a large portion of the parameter space, the amplitude of this primordial
oscillation can be strongly damped on the observed nonlinear matter power spectrum at z = 0, but
a larger signal is still persistent at z ≲ 2 and is therefore a target for future galaxy surveys at high redshifts. From an analysis of the BOSS DR12 two-point correlation function, we find
𝒜lin < 0.26 at 95% CL by keeping the frequency fixed to the best-fit of Planck data.

states formation by a convenient bosonic Josephson junction system in two-mode approximation. Starting with purely quantum description of two-mode Bose–Einstein condensate we investigate the effective potential approach that provides an accurate analytical description for the system with a large number of particles. We show that in the zero temperature limit SC states result from a quantum phase transition that occurs when the nonlinear strength becomes comparable with the Josephson coupling parameter. The Wigner function approach demonstrates the growth of the SC state halves separation and formation of

-like states (a Fock state superposition) with the particle number increase. We examine the possibility to attain the SC state at finite temperatures and a weak dissipation leading to appearing of some critical temperature; it defines the second-order phase transition from classical activation process to the SC state formation through the quantum tunneling phenomenon. Numerical estimations demonstrate that the critical temperature is sufficiently below the temperature of atomic condensation. The results obtained may be useful for experimental observation of SC states with small condensate Josephson junctions.

Abstract
The second phase of the Advanced Mo-based Rare process
Experiment (AMoRE-II) searches for a neutrino-less double-beta decay
of 100Mo. A background level in the region of interest of
3034 ± 10 keV is required to be lower than 10-4 count/(keV
kg year). Neutrons can generate background signals by gamma-ray
emitting reactions with AMoRE-II detector materials. Thermal neutron
shields will be installed inside and outside the lead shield to
reduce the neutron flux in the shielding system. The background
radioactivity of the inner thermal neutron shield must be low
because AMoRE-II requires a low background level. A thermal neutron
shield with a high shielding efficiency and low radioactivity was
produced by using boric acid powder and silicone rubber. The
shielding efficiency was tested to be
{99.2 ± 0.25(stat)-0.53
+0.47(syst)}%, and
the radioactivities of 40K, 226Ra, 228Ac, and
228Th were measured to be < 9.2 at 90% C.L., 14.2 ± 1.5,
< 1.6 at 90% C.L., and 2.83 ± 0.80 mBq/kg, respectively.
14 EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF SAFETY MONITORING DEVICES ON CARE WORK AND PROCESSES IN JAPANESE NURSING HOMES
Authors: Obayashi K , Kodate N , Kondo H , Okamoto Y , Kaneko H , Ishii Y , Nonoda T , Masuyama S 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Background
Although the impact of new technology on the workplace has been discussed for many years, little has been reported regarding the effect of new technology in nursing homes. The aim of the research was to test the effect of a safety monitoring device on night-time work patterns.

Methods
A monitoring sensor with an infrared camera was installed in Tokyo-based residential nursing homes in April 2020. A pre/post intervention and observation study was conducted before and after the introduction of the device. Four care professionals worked each night in pairs (one person providing care, and the other observing and keeping minute-by-minute records of task and time allocated to each task. The tasks were divided into 33 items). The data were collected by two pairs at three different nights for pre-intervention and from two pairs at two nights for post-intervention. Ten care professionals participated in the study, and they were looking after 30 older adults (86.8 +/- 6.8 years old).

Results
The total time for executing various tasks marginally increased from 978 mins to 1033 mins. However, statistically significant changes were found mainly among items related to medical care and safety. While nurse call response time decreased significantly, the proportion of time allocated to personal care such as vital checks (from 1 to 2 percent) and mobility (from 4 to 9 percent) assistance doubled. Break time also increased significantly.

Conclusion
While the introduction of a safety monitoring system did not radically reduce the workload, it changed the patterns of caregiving during the night shift. Some behavioural changes were directly caused by functions of the system, while others were by-products. Staff’s break length also increased. The findings suggest that the introduction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in nursing homes has the potential to release time to care.
51 VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: A CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Kavanagh M , Bradley E , Hoey L , Hughes C , McNulty H , Ward M , Strain JJ , Tracey F , Molloy A , Laird E , Cunningham C , McCarroll K 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Background
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is prevalent (up to 10.9%) in Irish adults aged over 65 and significantly increases stroke risk, as well as being associated with greater stroke severity. Identifying potential contributing factors to development of AF offers opportunity for AF prevention and reduction in associated morbidity. Low vitamin D status has been associated with AF but studies are inconsistent. We aimed to assess the potential relationship between vitamin D deficiency and self-reported AF in older Irish adults.

Methods
Participants were from a large cross-sectional study of Irish adults aged &gt;60 years, recruited from hospital outpatient services and GP practises. The diagnosis of AF was based on self-report so those with a Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) &lt;25 were excluded. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as a 25(OH)D &lt;30 nmol/l. The relationship between deficiency and AF was explored in regression models.

Results
4264 participants, mean age 73.1± 8.0 years, female (67.4%) and 11.9% had AF. There was a higher prevalence of AF in those who were deficient vs non-deficient (17.2% vs 10.9%, P&lt;0.0001). In a subsample (n = 4043), increased risk remained after adjusting for age, gender, season, vitamin D supplement use, body mass index, timed up and go, alcohol intake, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease (coronary artery disease and/or heart failure) (OR: 1.3, 1.1- 1.7 , P =0.023).

Conclusion
We identified that vitamin D deficiency was independently associated with a 30% increased likelihood of self-reported AF in older adults. Vitamin D is known to inhibit the renin angiotensin, aldosterone system which may play a role in both structural and electrical remodelling of the atrium. It may also have anti-inflammatory properties which could protect against AF. We were not able to distinguish between valvular and non-valvular AF though findings offer an interesting insight for potential further investigation.
172 WHAT IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF CARE STAFF AND THE USE OF HEARING AIDS IN IRISH NURSING HOMES? A PILOT STUDY
Authors: Sheehy L 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Background
Residents of nursing homes can be dependent on care staff for the insertion and maintenance of their hearing aids. There is no current research carried out in Irish nursing homes on this topic.

Methods
Using a quantitative study design participants were recruited from two Irish publicly-funded Nursing Homes. 58 Care staff participated in this study. Care staff completed a validated paper-based questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were applied. Kruskal Wallis H tests were used to examine if there was a statistically significant difference in questionnaire answers between three occupations: Healthcare Assistants, Nurses and Nurse Managers

Results
15% of care staff agreed that they had received training in the use and care of hearing aids. 20% of care staff agreed that they knew the approximate lifetime of a hearing aid battery.100% of care staff agreed they need more information on the different types of hearing aids. 95% agreed that there is a need for information on hearing aid maintenance, and 88% of care staff agreed that they need more information on hearing loss among the older population.

Conclusion
This extensive data, the first of its kind in Ireland, shows us that care staff are very candid about the issues they confront and have demonstrated a willingness and openness to learning. It confirms the skills and information gap of care staff and there is great scope for training, and this will have a very positive impact on residents and care staff.
