description: Each year the latest information security surveys are released to the computing and business communities. Often their findings and their methodologies are subject to criticism from the information security community, professional bodies and others in the profession. This paper looks at the viewpoints of both the producers and the critics of the surveys. The criticisms cover such issues as the methodologies, the response rates, the experience of the respondents, the design of the questions and the interpretation of the results. This paper looks at these issues and discusses the validity of these criticisms, the impact of the surveys and their value to business and government. It compares the methodologies of some of the largest local and international players in the area. It discusses the issues arising from flawed methodologies, inaccurate information and poor processes, including the perceived lack of integrity and the accuracy of the measurements and methodologies. Despite the strong criticism a middle ground emerged. Data input by the participants, whether accurate or not, may be highly subjective and influenced by their environment and business profile. Furthermore, security at a business level may be extremely complex, the governance principles dictating that the organisation profile, management ideologies and core business values must be accounted for and balanced even for IT. The paper also considers the interpretation of the results and how they may be influenced by current and future products and the vendors of those products. Finally the paper takes a closer look at the use of the surveys in a business context and attempts to show that if constructively used, these surveys can be powerful metric tools used in driving information security strategies in spite of their perceived deficiencies.

description: Sequences with low aperiodic autocorrelation sidelobes have been extensively researched in literatures. With sufficiently low integrated sidelobe level (ISL), their power spectrums are asymptotically flat over the whole frequency domain. However, for the beam sweeping in the massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) broadcast channels, the flat spectrum should be constrained in a passband with tunable bandwidth to achieve the flexible tradeoffs between the beamforming gain and the beam sweeping time. Motivated by this application, we construct a family of sequences termed the generalized step-chirp (GSC) sequence with a closed-form expression, where some parameters can be tuned to adjust the bandwidth flexibly. In addition to the application in beam sweeping, some GSC sequences are closely connected with Mow's unified construction of sequences with perfect periodic autocorrelations, and may have a coarser phase resolution than the Mow sequence while their ISLs are comparable.

description: Background: A limited number of single institutions have published retrospective cohort studies on transoral laser microsurgery for supraglottic laryngectomy (TLM-SGL). These studies have shown that the oncologic outcomes of TLM-SGL are comparable to those of open SGL. However, there is limited information available regarding swallowing rehabilitation and quality of life (QoL). Patients and methods: SUPRATOL is a prospective, multicenter trial assessing the functional outcomes of TLM-SGL +/− adjuvant radio-(chemo)-therapy. The primary endpoint was aspiration-free swallowing at 12 months, as established using fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and defined as a grade < 6 on the penetration–aspiration scale. Secondary endpoints were swallowing- and voice-related QoL, the prevalence of temporary and permanent tracheostomy and percutaneous gastrostomy, local control, laryngectomy-free survival, overall survival, and disease-free survival, as well as the influence of treatment centers on outcomes. Results: From April 2015 to February 2018, 102 patients were recruited from 26 German Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) hospitals. All patients had TLM-SGL and 96.1% underwent uni- or bilateral, mostly selective neck dissection. To 47.0% of patients, adjuvant radio-(chemo)-therapy (R(C)T) was administered. The median follow-up period was 24.1 months. At 12-month follow-up, completed by 84.3% of patients, 98.2%, 95.5%, and 98.8% were free of aspiration when tested with saliva, liquid, or pulp. Adjuvant R(C)T, pT category, and type of resection had no significant influence on swallowing rehabilitation. A total of 40.2% of patients had been tracheotomized, and in 46.1% of patients, a PEG tube was inserted. At the 24-month follow-up, 5.3% of patients still required a tracheostomy, and 8.0% continued to use a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube. Deterioration of swallowing- and voice-related QoL was observed immediately after treatment, but patients recovered, and baseline values were reached again. The Kaplan–Meier 2-year rates for local control, laryngectomy-free survival, overall survival, and disease-free survival were 88%, 92%, 93%, and 82%, respectively. Conclusions: Our prospective multicenter trial shows that, at 12 months post-TLM-SGL +/− R(C)T, 95.5%–98.8% of patients achieved aspiration-free swallowing. Morbidity was higher than previously reported. The rates of permanent tracheostomy and gastrostomy tube placement correspond to previous cohort studies. The 2-year oncologic outcomes are within the reported range.

description: The German National Cohort (NAKO) is an ongoing, prospective multicenter cohort study, which started recruitment in 2014 and includes more than 205,000 women and men aged 19–74 years. The study data will be available to the global research community for analyses. Although the ultimate decision about the analytic methods will be made by the respective investigator, in this paper we provide the basis for a harmonized approach to the statistical analyses in the NAKO. We discuss specific aspects of the study (e.g., data collection, weighting to account for the sampling design), but also give general recommendations which may apply to other large cohort studies as well.

description: Understanding and controlling the electrical properties of solution-processed 2D materials is key to further printed electronics progress. Here we demonstrate that the thermolysis of the aromatic intercalants utilized in nanosheet exfoliation for graphene laminates opens the route to achieving high intrinsic mobility and simultaneously controlling doping type ($n$- and $p$-) and concentration over a wide range. We establish that the intra-flake mobility is high by observing a linear magnetoresistance of such solution-processed graphene laminates and using it to devolve the inter-flake tunneling and intra-layer magnetotransport. Consequently, we determine the temperature dependences of the inter- and intra-layer characteristics, which both appear to be dominated by phonon-assisted processes at temperature $T>$20 Kelvin. In particular, we identify the efficiency of phonon-assisted tunneling as the main limiting factor for electrical conductivity in graphene laminates at room temperature. We also demonstrate a thermoelectric sensitivity of around 50 $μ$V K$^{-1}$ in a solution-processed metal-free graphene-based thermocouple.

description: The growing number of wheat-related allergies worldwide has resulted in a new trend towards gluten-free alternatives. In this context, alternative cereals such as sorghum and oats are attracting new interest. Given the limited data available, the question of whether these cereals are completely safe and gluten-free for allergy sufferers remains open. One of the key steps in protein research is their efficient extraction. In this work, the Osborne sequential extraction method was developed and optimized using the response surface methodology in order to fractionate oat proteins. An optimized desirability of 0.986 was achieved with an extraction time of 4.7 min, a speed of 6, and a sample/solvent ratio of 5. The corresponding optimized responses were 8.7, 4.0, and 5.1% for the extraction yields of the avenin, avenalin, and albumin/globulin fractions, respectively. Further characterization of the extracts was carried out on 24 homogeneous and commercial oat samples via LC-MS/MS, targeting six potentially allergenic proteins. The avenin-E protein featured prominently, with relative contents of 60.7, 32.2, 58.0, and 59.8% in the total extract, avenin, avenalin, and albumin/globulin fractions, respectively, while the Avenin-3, ATI-2, avenin, SSG2, and SSG1 proteins in the total extract showed levels of 16.4, 9.3, 6.6, 4.8, and 2.2%, respectively. The preliminary results of an ELISA performed on the different fractions revealed low levels of gluten (from 1.24 ± 0.14 to 3.61 ± 0.16 mg/kg), which were well below the threshold limit of 20 mg/kg. These results support the hypothesis that oats can be a safe food for people suffering from cereal-related allergies. These results open the door to further studies into the comprehensive characterization of oat proteins.

description: Aims: Root hairs are important for uptake, especially for nutrients with low mobility in soils with high sorption capacity. Mutants with defective root hairs are expected to have lower nutrient uptake, unless they compensate with more root growth. Since root hairs can also contribute to the plant's water uptake their importance could change over the course of a growing season. It was our objective to investigate the role of root hairs under field conditions. Methods: The root hair mutant rth3 of Zea mays and the corresponding wild-type were grown for two years under field conditions on sand and loam. Results: Shoot growth and P and K uptake of the plants were promoted by the presence of hairs at all growth stages. Differences between genotypes were greater on loam than on sand until tassel emergence, presumably as additional exploitation by hairs is more relevant in loam. Compensation for the absence of root hairs by increased root growth was not observed in absolute terms. The root to shoot ratio was higher for rth3 than for wild-type. Root traits showed high plasticity in response to texture, the most salient being a greater mean root diameter in sand, irrespective of genotype. The mechanism causing the increase in mean root diameter is still unknown. Root length density was higher in sand, which can be explained by a greater need for exploration than exploitation in this substrate. Conclusion: The role of hairs for nutrient uptake could be confirmed under field conditions. The large impact of texture on root growth and consequences for carbon balance require further investigations.

description: We define the heat capacity for steady periodically driven systems and as an example we compute it for dissipative two-level systems where the energy gap is time-modulated. There, as a function of ambient temperature, the Schottky peak remains the dominant feature. Yet, in contrast with equilibrium, the quasistatic thermal response of a nonequilibrium system also reveals kinetic information present in the transition rates; e.g., the heat capacity depends on the time-symmetric reactivities and changes by the presence of a kinetic barrier. It still vanishes though at absolute zero, in accord with an extended Nernst heat postulate, but at a different rate from the equilibrium case. More generally, we discuss the dependence on driving frequency and amplitude.

description: B cells are central for the adaptive immune system to mount successful immune responses not only as antibody producers but also as regulators of cellular immunity. These multifaceted features are also reflected in autoimmunity where autoreactive B cells can fuel disease by production of cytotoxic autoantibodies, presentation of autoantigens to autoreactive T cells, and secretion of cytokines and chemokines that either promote detrimental immune activation or impair regulatory T and B cells. The role of B cells and autoantibodies in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) have been controversially discussed, with typical autoantibodies and hypergammaglobulinemia indicating a key role, while strong HLA class II association suggests T cells as key players. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on B cells in AIH and how different B cell subpopulations may drive AIH progression beyond autoantibodies. We also discuss recent findings of B cell-directed therapies in AIH.

description: Sozioökonomisch bedingte Ungleichheiten in der Gesundheit sind ein wichtiges Public-Health-Handlungsfeld und deren Reduzierung eines ihrer wichtigsten Ziele. Bislang ist es jedoch kaum gelungen, gesundheitliche Ungleichheiten zu verringern, was zugleich auch auf ein großes Forschungsdefizit hinweist. Auch im Kindes- und Jugendalter lassen sich bereits Ungleichheiten in der Gesundheit und dem Gesundheitsverhalten feststellen, wobei jene mit einem niedrigen sozioökonomischen Status verglichen mit sozial privilegierteren Gleichaltrigen oftmals mehr Risikofaktoren und gleichzeitig weniger Ressourcen aufweisen. Obwohl Gesundheitsförderung auf gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit abzielt, berücksichtigen Interventionen nur selten den sozioökonomischen Status und können entsprechend wenig Evidenz über sozioökonomisch differenzierte Interventionseffekte liefern. Wie kann es daher gelingen, allen Heranwachsenden die gleichen Chancen auf ein gesundes Aufwachsen zu ermöglichen? Um der Beantwortung dieser Frage näherzukommen, ist es zum einen das Ziel des Beitrags, einen Überblick über gesundheitliche Ungleichheiten im Kindes- und Jugendalter zu geben und die Rolle von Gesundheitsförderung sowie aktuelle Forschungsdefizite in diesem Zusammenhang aufzuzeigen. Zum anderen soll die Bedeutung der Schule und schulischer Gesundheitsförderungsmaßnahmen bei der Verringerung gesundheitlicher Ungleichheiten und der Erhöhung gesundheitlicher Chancengleichheit herausgestellt werden. Die Schule ist nicht nur ein Ort, an dem Heranwachsende unabhängig von ihrer sozialen Herkunft stets erreicht werden können, sondern hat das Potenzial, gesundheitliche Ungleichheiten sowohl zu verschärfen als auch zu reduzieren.

description: Le componenti fisiche dei processi geologici che governano le eruzioni vulcaniche, le frane, le alluvioni e i terremoti sono spesso considerate le cause principali delle catastrofi. Nonostante queste siano essenziali per l’innesco di determinati eventi, le pericolosità naturali si sviluppano in disastri nel momento in cui esse impattano sul costruito e sulla popolazione, provocando danni agli edifici e perdite di vite umane. L’introduzione della “Yokohama Strategy”, nel 1994, ha segnato l’inizio di un cambiamento significativo nello sviluppo delle strategie per la riduzione dei rischi che sino a quel momento erano largamente influenzate da approcci meramente tecnici e scientifici. Dagli anni 90’ in poi, infatti, l’analisi della vulnerabilità socioeconomica diventata cruciale nello studio dei rischi naturali. In questo contesto, l’integrazione della componente fisica e sociale dei territori interessati da pericolosità naturali ricopre un ruolo significativo nella quantificazione della parte di popolazione più esposta, mettendo in evidenza chi sono i cittadini più vulnerabili e quali sono i principali fattori che influenzano la capacità delle comunità di anticipare, far fronte e riprendersi da un evento calamitoso. Partendo dallo studio della letteratura all’interno del contesto europeo e in particolare di quello italiano, il nostro lavoro ha l’obiettivo di sottolineare come la multidisciplinarietà (Scienze della Terra, Economiche, Sociali e Demografiche) può contribuire ad una maggiore consapevolezza della gestione delle attività partecipative con la popolazione e come la Citizen Science può diventare strumento di conoscenza dei rischi naturali, per la riduzione delle vulnerabilità e per l’incremento della resilienza delle comunità.

description: Purpose: Mucilage plays crucial roles in root-soil interactions. Collection systems for maize (Zea mays L.) use primary and seminal roots of aeroponically-grown seedlings (CSA), or brace roots of soil-grown plants (CSB). While each method represents specific plant developmental stages, and root types growing in specific (micro-)environments, these factors are rarely considered. It is unclear whether mucilage exhibits distinct physico-chemical properties related to collection system-inherent factors. Methods: Mucilage of maize genotype B73 was collected from systems CSA and CSB. Chemical composition was assessed by pH, nutrient contents, neutral sugar composition, and polysaccharide polymer length. Viscosity, surface tension and contact angle represented physical properties. Results: The share of hexoses among total polysaccharides was 11% higher in CSB than in CSA, whereas pentoses were predominant in CSA, together with higher nutrient concentrations and pH values. Mannose was detected only in CSB, which also exhibited higher surface tension, viscosity and contact angle compared to CSA. Conclusions: Physico-chemical differences between the two mucilages are related to root type functions, environmental root growth conditions, and plant developmental state. Higher fractions of pentoses in CSA mucilage seem related to semi-sterile system conditions. Higher viscosity of CSB mucilage might reflect the need for enhanced water holding capacity of brace roots growing in drier conditions. A strong influence of environmental factors on mucilage properties even for a single genotype might play additional roles e.g. in the attraction of microbiomes. These aspects are relevant when assessing the role of mucilage in the rhizosphere, or when developing models of rhizosphere processes.

description: Purpose: To analyze relationships betweenapparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and activity parameters of Crohn’s disease, e.g., length and wall thickness, CRP, FCP, MaRIA, CDAI, SES-CD, histologic inflammatory activity score, and the histological fibrotic score, based upon published data. Materials and methods: MEDLINE library, Scopus, and Embase databases were screened for association between ADC and activity parameters of Crohn’s disease in patients with Crohn’s disease up to Mai 2021. Overall, 21 studies with 1053 patients were identified. The following data were extracted from the literature: number of patients, correlation coefficients between ADC and length as well as wall thickness, CRP, FCP, MaRIA, CDAI, and SES-CD, inflammatory activity score, and fibrotic score. Associations between ADC and activity parameters were analyzed by Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The studies’ methodologic quality was evaluated by using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Studies (QUADAS 2) instrument, revealing a low risk of bias. Results: In the overall sample, the pooled correlation coefficient between ADC and CDAI was −0.8 (95% CI = [−0.94; −0.65]), between ADC and MaRIA −0.66 (95% CI = [−0.79; −0.53]). A strong association was observed between ADC and SES-CD with a pooled correlation of −0.66 (95% CI = [−0.87; −0.46]). The pooled sensitivity to discriminate between involved and non-involved bowel segments was 0.89, with an area under the curve of 0.89 Conclusions: ADC showed strong inverse correlations with CDAI, MaRIA, and SES-CD scores. However, the role of ADC in assessing fibrotic changes in the bowel wall is limited. ADC can reflect acute inflammatory reactions but not systemic inflammation.

description: English before 1750 does not allow being to occur in the progressive, a fact that has remained mysterious.

I investigate these developments using diachronic corpora, and discuss some loose ends that arise.

description: This paper investigates the potential for semantic change in the Syrian Arabic adverb kaman marah (“again, once more”), currently restricted to repetitive contexts. Inspired by the historical shift of the synonymous Standard Arabic adverb thaniyaten from repetitive to restitutive/counterdirectional readings, we simulate conditions under which kaman marah could acquire restitutive interpretations. Using an experimental approach, we test its acceptability in restitutive/counterdirectional contexts, focusing on bridging contexts with mixed antecedents and ‘return’ verbs. Our findings show that prior exposure to such bridging contexts improves the acceptability of kaman marah in restitutive/counterdirectional readings. These results align with the historical trajectory of the adverb thaniyaten and support attempts to simulate language change. A larger thematic background of the study is the issue of (non-)directionality in semantic change and the contextual mechanisms driving new readings in iteratives.

description: Numerous prior studies have investigated real-time assembly instructions using Augmented Reality (AR). However, most such experiments were conducted in laboratory settings with simplistic assembly tasks, failing to represent real-world industrial conditions. To ascertain to what extent results obtained in a laboratory environment may differ from studies in actual industrial environments, we carried out a user study with 32 manufacturing apprentices. We compared assembly task execution results in two settings, a classroom and an industrial workshop environment. To facilitate the experiments, we developed AR-guided manual assembly systems for simple and more complex assets. Our findings reveal a significantly improved task performance in the industrial workshop, reflected in faster task completion times, fewer errors, and subjectively perceived higher flow. This contradicted participants' subjective ratings, as they expected to perform better in the classroom environment. Our results suggest that the actual manufacturing environment is critical in evaluating AR systems for real-world industrial applications.
Gramian-based model reduction for unstable stochastic systems

description: This paper considers large-scale linear stochastic systems representing, e.g., spatially discretized stochastic partial differential equations. Since asymptotic stability can often not be ensured in such a stochastic setting (e.g., due to larger noise), the main focus is on establishing model order reduction (MOR) schemes applicable to unstable systems. MOR is vital to reduce the dimension of the problem in order to lower the enormous computational complexity of for instance sampling methods in high dimensions. In particular, a new type of Gramian-based MOR approach is proposed in this paper that can be used in very general settings. The considered Gramians are constructed to identify dominant subspaces of the stochastic system as pointed out in this work. Moreover, they can be computed via Lyapunov equations. However, covariance information of the underlying systems enters these equations which is not directly available. Therefore, efficient sampling-based methods relying on variance reduction techniques are established to derive the required covariances and hence the Gramians. Alternatively, an ansatz to compute the Gramians by deterministic approximations of covariance functions is investigated. An error bound for the studied MOR methods is proved yielding an a priori criterion for the choice of the reduced system dimension. This bound is new and beneficial even in the deterministic case. The paper is concluded by numerical experiments showing the efficiency of the proposed MOR schemes.

description: In this short article, I discuss the notion of (grammatical) triviality and argue that the source of (grammatical) unacceptability of trivial (i.e., tautological or contradictory) expressions does not have to be due to a separate Logicality module in the grammatical system. Instead, I argue that in order to be acceptable, a morpho-syntactically well-formed expression needs to make an informative meaning contribution in a particular context. Hearers will always try to assign an informative interpretation to a particular utterance. If that turns out to be impossible, an utterance will be judged unacceptable.

Cardiac effects of ephedrine, norephedrine, mescaline, and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in mouse and human atrial preparations

description: The use of recreational drugs like ephedrine, norephedrine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and mescaline can lead to intoxication and, at worst, to death. One reason for a fatal course of intoxication with these drugs might lie in cardiac arrhythmias. To the best of our knowledge, their inotropic effects have not yet been studied in isolated human cardiac preparations. Therefore, we measured inotropic effects of the hallucinogenic drugs ephedrine, norephedrine, mescaline, and MDMA in isolated mouse left atrial (mLA) and right atrial (mRA) preparations as well as in human right atrial (hRA) preparations obtained during cardiac surgery. Under these experimental conditions, ephedrine, norephedrine, and MDMA increased force of contraction (mLA, hRA) and beating rate (mRA) in a time- and concentration-dependent way, starting at 1–3 µM but these drugs were less effective than isoprenaline. Mescaline alone or in the presence of phosphodiesterase inhibitors did not increase force in mLA or hRA. The positive inotropic effects of ephedrine, norephedrine, or MDMA were accompanied by increases in the rate of tension and relaxation and by shortening of time of relaxation and, moreover, by an augmented phosphorylation state of the inhibitory subunit of troponin in hRA. All effects were greatly attenuated by cocaine (10 µM) or propranolol (10 µM) treatment. In summary, the hallucinogenic drugs ephedrine, norephedrine, and MDMA, but not mescaline, increased force of contraction and increased protein phosphorylation presumably, in part, by a release of noradrenaline in isolated human atrial preparations and thus can be regarded as indirect sympathomimetic drugs in the human atrium.

description: Dynamical response functions are fundamental quantities to describe the excited-state properties in quantum many-body systems. Quantum algorithms have been proposed to evaluate these quantities by means of quantum phase estimation (QPE), where the energy spectra are directly extracted from the QPE measurement outcomes in the frequency domain. Accurate estimation of excitation energies and transition probabilities with these QPE-based approaches is, however, challenging because of the problem of spectral leakage (or peak broadening) which is inherent in the QPE algorithm. To overcome this issue, in this work we consider an extension of the QPE-based approach adopting the optimal entangled input states, which is known to achieve the Heisenberg-limited scaling for the estimation precision. We show that with this method the peaks in the calculated energy spectra are more localized than those calculated by the original QPE-based approaches, suggesting the mitigation of the spectral leakage problem. By analyzing the probability distribution with the entangled phase estimation, we propose a simple scheme to better estimate both the transition energies and the corresponding transition probabilities of the peaks of interest in the spectra. The validity of our prescription is demonstrated by numerical simulations in various quantum many-body problems: the spectral function of a simple electron-plasmon model in condensed-matter physics, the dipole transitions of the H$_2$O molecule in quantum chemistry, and the electromagnetic transitions of the $^6$Li nucleus in nuclear physics.
