description: This paper proposes a look ahead text understanding problem with look ahead section identification (LASI) as an example. This problem may appear in generative AI as well as human interactions, where we want to understand the direction of a developing text or conversation. We tackle the problem using transformer-based LLMs. We show that LASI is more challenging than classic section identification (SI). We argue that both bidirectional contextual information (e.g., BERT) and unidirectional predictive ability (e.g., GPT) will benefit the task. We propose two approaches to stitch together BERT and GPT. Experiments show that our approach outperforms the established models, especially when there is noise in the text (which is often the case for developing text in generative AI). Our paper sheds light on other look ahead text understanding tasks that are important to social media, such as look ahead sentiment classification, and points out the opportunities to leverage pre-trained LLMs through stitching.

description: Cardiac disease evaluation depends on multiple diagnostic modalities: electrocardiogram (ECG) to diagnose abnormal heart rhythms, and imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and echocardiography to detect signs of structural abnormalities. Each of these modalities brings complementary information for a better diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction. However, training a machine learning (ML) model with data from multiple modalities is a challenging task, as it increases the dimension space, while keeping constant the number of samples. In fact, as the dimension of the input space increases, the volume of data required for accurate generalisation grows exponentially. In this work, we address this issue, for the application of Ventricular Arrhythmia (VA) prediction, based on the combined clinical and CT imaging features, where we constrained the learning process on medical images (CT) based on the prior knowledge acquired from clinical data. The VA classifier is fed with features extracted from a 3D myocardium thickness map (TM) of the left ventricle. The TM is generated by our pipeline from the imaging input and a Graph Convolutional Network is used as the feature extractor of the 3D TM. We introduce a novel Sequential Fusion method and evaluate its performance against traditional Early Fusion techniques and single-modality models. The crossvalidation results show that the Sequential Fusion model achieved the highest average scores of 80.7% $\pm$ 4.4 Sensitivity and 73.1% $\pm$ 6.0 F1 score, outperforming the Early Fusion model at 65.0% $\pm$ 8.9 Sensitivity and 63.1% $\pm$ 6.3 F1 score. Both fusion models achieved better scores than the single-modality models, where the average Sensitivity and F1 score are 62.8% $\pm$ 10.1; 52.1% $\pm$ 6.5 for the clinical data modality and 62.9% $\pm$ 6.3; 60.7% $\pm$ 5.3 for the medical images modality.

description: Capacitive pressure sensors have several advantages in areas such as robotics, automation, aerospace, biomedical and consumer electronics. We present mathematical modelling, finite element analysis (FEA), fabrication and experimental characterization of ultra-low cost and paper-based, touch-mode, flexible capacitive pressure sensor element using Do-It-Yourself (DIY) technology. The pressure sensing element is utilized to design large-area electronics skin for low-cost prosthetic hands. The presented sensor is characterized in normal, transition, touch and saturation modes. The sensor has higher sensitivity and linearity in touch mode operation from 10 to 40 kPa of applied pressure compared to the normal (0 to 8 kPa), transition (8 to 10 kPa) and saturation mode (after 40 kPa) with response time of 15.85 ms. Advantages of the presented sensor are higher sensitivity, linear response, less diaphragm area, less von Mises stress at the clamped edges region, low temperature drift, robust structure and less separation gap for large pressure measurement compared to normal mode capacitive pressure sensors. The linear range of pressure change is utilized for controlling the position of a servo motor for precise movement in robotic arm using wireless communication, which can be utilized for designing skin-like structure for low-cost prosthetic hands.

description: Cerconychia flectospina Wu, 1962
Cerconychia flectospina Wu, 1962, Acta Entomologica Sinica Supplement, 11: 147.
Styloperla flectospina (Wu), Uchida & Isobe, 1989, Spixiana, 12 (2): 158.
Cerconychia sapa Stark & Sivec, 2007, Illiesia, 3 (2):11–12. syn. nov
Male: Forewing length 16.8 mm, hindwing length 14.0 mm, body length 12.2 mm. Basal cercal segment swollen in dorsal view, terminating in a long, curved, acute process projecting along inner cercal margin; basal segment and process armed asymmetrically along length with ca. 15 or more small spines; second and sometimes third segment armed with an enlarged dorsal spine. Ninth sternum bearing a thick, wide setal brush near anterior margin (Fig. 9). Aedeagus membranous, without sclerites or spines; swollen basally but constricted medially, the distal ½ slender and elongated (Fig. 10).
Female: Subgenital plate “very slightly produced into a short tab with mesal emargination” (Stark & Sivec 2007).
Egg: Typical of genus. “Ovoid with collar absent and chorion smooth” (Stark & Sivec (2007).
Nymph: Unknown.
Type locality: China, Yunnan Province, Pingbian Miao Autonomous County.
Material examined: 1 ♂, China: Yunnan Province, Yunlong County, Daoren Mountain, 2265m, 25°32.893′N, 99°11.267′E, 2009-VI-3, leg. Qian Yu-Han (ICYZU).
Distribution: China (Yunnan); Vietnam (Loa Cai, Sapa).
Remarks: Cerconychia flectospina was transferred by Uchida & Isobe (1989) into Styloperla based on the short "longitudinal" hairbrush on male sternum 9. Uchida & Isobe (1989) apparently relied on Wu (1962) original illustrations and were unable to examine any of C. F. Wu types of the species. Unfortunately, the type material of Wu (1962) is apparently lost (Yu-Zhou, Du, personal communication). Although the form of the hairbrush was ambiguously illustrated by Wu (1962), it is clear that the hairbrush is horizontal, typical of the genus Cerconychia rather than Styloperla, and we define the species as a Cerconychia.
Stark and Sivec (2007) described C. sapa from Vietnam. Comparisons of the male listed above, Wu (1962) original illustrations, and Stark and Sivec (2007) scanning electron micrographs and illustrations, we consider C. sapa a junior subjective synonym of C. flectospina. Additionally, the close geographical proximity (Fig. 11) of Wu (1962) material, the male listed above and Stark & Sivec (2007) Lao Cai, Sapa, Vietnam material, supports the synonymy.

description: In this work, a large area, low cost and flexible polymer/paper-based double touch mode capacitive pressure sensor is demonstrated. Garage fabrication processes are used which only require cutting, taping and assembly of aluminum (Al) coated polyimide (PI) foil, PI tape and double-sided scotch tape. The presented pressure sensor operates in different pressure regions i.e. normal (0 to 7.5 kPa), transition (7.5 to 14.24 kPa), linear (14.24 to 54.9 kPa) and saturation (above 54.9 kPa). The advantages of the demonstrated double touch mode capacitive pressure sensors are low temperature drift, long linear range, high pressure sensitivity, precise pressure measurement and large die area. The linear output along with a high sensitivity range (14.24 to 54.9 kPa pressure range) of the sensor are utilized to wirelessly control the movement of a robotic arm with precise rotation and tilt movement capabilities.

Electronic word of mouth

description: In this work, we explore the link between electronic word of mouth in the form of user-generated content (online forum interactions on Kickstarter) and through mass personal communication (sharing information through Facebook) on the performance of crowdfunding campaigns. Our formal theoretical model implies that the efficiency of electronic word of mouth is determined by the quality of the underlying crowdfunding campaign. Using a sample of 572 project observations, we test our theoretical predictions in cross-sectional logistic regression and ancillary Granger analyses. Our results highlight the interactive contingency of social media engagement and the success of the crowdfunding campaign. While a higher quality campaign is benefitting from user generated electronic word of mouth (online comments), the returns are diminishing. For mass personal electronic word of mouth (Facebook shares), we even find a reverse causal effect. Social media activity follows a successful campaign, but does not affect the success probability of the campaign. Crowdfunding campaigns need to approach their social media activities with a certain note of sensitivity to achieve the objective of successfully reaching their campaign goal.

According to Martins & Santos-Silva (2013), since Erichson’s (1847) original description of Psapharochrus leucogaea, this species was only cited in checklists (Blackwelder, 1946) and catalogs (Aurivillius, 1923; Monné, 1994, 2005, Monné et al., 2012). They revised its generic position and transferred Psapharochrus leucogaeus to Eupromerella; they also illustrated the male holotype.
Monné & Monné (2006) examined photographs of the female paratype of Acanthoderes (Psapharochrus) virescens Fuchs, 1962 (deposited in the HSCV) and transferred it to Acanthoderes (Scythropopsis). Herein we propose the synonymy between A. leucogaeus and A. virescens and confirm the position of this species in the genus Eupromerella as noted earlier by Martins & Santos-Silva (2013.

Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Werkgruppe, die seit 1970 in mehreren Etappen vom Künstler eingerichtet und mit einer Rupfenbespannung versehen wurde, die sich in den Jahren stark verfärbt hatte. Die Tagung »Die Sanierung der Räume des ›Block Beuys‹« am Hessischen Landesmuseum Darmstadt im April 2008 diente der Bestandsaufnahme und der Anhörung der verschiedenen Positionen zum Umgang mit dieser bedeutenden Installation. Die Autoren des vorliegenden Textes versuchen die konservierungsethischen Standpunkte in die Diskussion einzubringen und wollen damit zu einer sorgfältig abgewogenen Entscheidung in Sachen »Block Beuys« beitragen. Denn die Vielschichtigkeit der hier skizzierten konservierungsethischen Problematik - Erneuerung und Sanierung oder Erhalt der wenn auch stark veränderten installativen Situation? - lässt sich am »Block Beuys« in Darmstadt exemplarisch aufzeigen.

description: Background Regular infant carrying might be a contributing factor for the development and progression of low back and pelvic girdle pain in mothers after childbirth. However, the neuromechanical adaptations of the spine due to different sling-based carrying techniques are not sufficiently well understood in order to provide evidence-based carrying recommendations. Research question What are the immediate effects of different sling-based infant carrying techniques on trunk neuromechanics? Methods Using a Vicon motion capture and a wireless surface electromyography system, three-dimensional pelvis and spinal kinematics as well as activation patterns of eight trunk muscles were derived from fifteen healthy young women during upright standing and level walking without carrying a load and while carrying a 6 kg-dummy with a sling in front and on either side. Data were analyzed using Statistical Parametric Mapping, allowing group comparisons of discrete parameters (standing) as well as continuous data (walking). To distinguish between clinically relevant and clinically not relevant kinematic findings, statistically significant differences were only considered in case of ≥5°. Results Compared to unloaded walking, carrying the dummy in front was mainly associated with increased lumbar lordosis (standing: (Δ8.8°, p = 0.006; walking: (Δ ≥ 8.2°, 1–100% of gait cycle [%GC], p < 0.001). When carrying the dummy on the preferred side, increased thoracic kyphosis (standing: ≥6.4°, p ≤ 0.003; walking: Δ ≥ 5.6°, 1–100%GC, p < 0.001) and axial rotation towards the ipsilateral side (standing: Δ5.3°, p = 0.003; walking: Δ ≥ 5.0°, 46–58%GC, p = 0.002) were observed. All three conditions entailed increased paraspinal muscle activity during walking, although only unilaterally in side carrying (lumbar, preferred condition: Δ ≥ 13.2%maxMVIC, 49–57%GC, p < 0.001; thoracic, non-preferred condition: Δ ≥ 5.3%maxMVIC, 47–58%GC, p < 0.001). Significance Carrying an infant alternating on both sides using a sling could be advantageous for preventing musculoskeletal pain resulting from excessive lumbar hyperextension and paraspinal muscle hyperactivation in women after childbirth.

description: This study measured soil stress underneath a rolling wheel by using two different types of sensors: a load cell type probe referred to as an Arvidsson probe to read vertical soil stress and a fluid inclusion type sensor referred to as a Bolling probe to read soil mean normal stress. Measurements were compared with simulations using a semi-empirical as well as a finite element model. The latter allowed us to consider a layered soil profile as well as an elastoplastic constitutive relationship in the simulations. In addition, the finite element model was used to quantify the ratio between the Bolling probe pressure and the soil mean normal stress. The Bolling probe pressure was found to be primarily a function of the soil’s Poisson ratio, which supports findings from earlier studies. Our results showed better agreement between measurements and simulations for vertical stress (obtained from the Arvidsson probe readings) than for mean normal stress (calculated from the Bolling probe measurements). The finite element simulations revealed that soil properties had little influence on vertical stress, and the distribution with depth of the vertical stress could be well described by the classical Boussinesq solution. However, soil properties had a significant impact on the mean normal stress. The widely used semi-empirical Fröhlich model performed poorly, which may have been because of an inconsistency in the model assumptions.

description: Hintergrund Schuheinlagen- und Schuhmodifikationen werden zur Reduktion des plantaren Spitzendruckes eingesetzt. Die Effekte verschiedener Schuheinlagen und -konstruktionen zur Vorfußentlastung sind bisher unzureichend untersucht. Fragestellung Ziel war die Überprüfung des Einflusses von Einlagen- (retrokapitale Pelotte, Vorfußweichbettung, Kontrolle) und Schuhkonstruktionen (flexibel, steif) auf den Spitzendruck im Vorfuß. Material und Methoden In die Studie wurden 15 gesunde Probanden eingeschlossen. Die plantare Druckverteilung wurde mit einem In-Schuh-System während des Gehens (3,5 km∙h−1) auf einem Laufband gemessen und der durchschnittliche plantare Spitzendruck (kPa) im Vorfuß berechnet. Die hypothesenprüfende Statistik erfolgte mittels zweifaktorieller ANOVA mit Messwertwiederholung (Faktoren: Schuh, Einlage; α = 0,05). Ergebnisse Sowohl die Einlage mit retrokapitaler Pelotte als auch die mit Vorfußweichbettung führten im Vergleich zur Kontrolleinlage zu einer Reduktion des Spitzendrucks (p = 0,009). Zwischen den beiden Einlagen bestand kein Unterschied (p > 0,05). Der Schuhvergleich zeigte eine signifikant geringere Vorfußbelastung im steifen Schuh im Vergleich zum flexiblen (p = 0,0001). Im Mittelfuß führte die Pelotte zu einem Druckanstieg von 12 und 21 % gegenüber der Kontrolleinlage und der Weichbettung. Diskussion Eine Druckentlastung des Vorfußes kann mittels Weichbettung oder mittels retrokapitaler Pelotte erreicht werden. Durch die Pelotte resultiert jedoch auch ein erhöhter Spitzendruck im Mittelfuß. Die Schuhwahl ist entscheidend, da ein steifer Schuh den Spitzendruck im Vorfuß stärker reduziert als ein flexibler Schuh. Ob Metatarsalgiepatienten von den getesteten Interventionen klinisch profitieren, muss zukünftig eine prospektive Therapiestudie untersuchen.

description: We modelled the air quality in Switzerland for summer and winter periods in 2006 using the CAMx model with the focus on aerosols. The contributions of various source regions to aerosol concentrations at receptor sites were investigated using the Particulate Matter Source Apportionment Technology (PSAT) tool of CAMx. The source regions were defined as Switzerland, surrounding countries and other countries in Europe. Organic aerosols (OA) and particulate nitrate (PNO3) are the main components of winter aerosols in the modeled domain. In summer, organic aerosols dominate the aerosol composition and they are mainly secondary. In general more than 50% of PM2.5 was predicted to come from Swiss sources except for a few sites at the border regions. Primary particles originate mostly from local sources in both seasons, except at Basel where significant contribution from France and Germany was predicted. In the south, Italy is the main contributor to aerosols. On the other hand, about half of the secondary aerosols originate from Germany and France for receptors in the north and from Italy for receptors in the south.

description: Research question: This paper explores the extent to which nations prioritise elite sport funding; whether such nations are more successful than those whose funding is more diversified; and, if the sports that receive the most funding are also the most successful. Research methods: Data on public expenditure for elite sport programmes (2011/2012) were collected on a sport-specific basis in 16 nations (n?=?445 funded sports). The Herfindahl index and concentration ratios of the four/eight most funded sports (CR4/CR8) are used as proxies for prioritisation. Success was measured using top three and top eight places during the Olympic Games and World Championships. Descriptive analysis and linear regression are applied to identify the relationship between the distribution of funding and success. Results and findings: Generally, all sample nations are prioritisers. Nations with smaller total elite sport budgets tended to prioritise more. There is a slight negative association between the distribution of funding within a country and subsequent success, indicating that the sample countries that prioritise more tended to be less successful. Sample nations that diversify their funding more, are found to be successful in a wider range of sports. In addition, the data illustrated only low allocative efficiency for some nations. Implications: The study produced ambiguous conclusions that prioritisation as a deliberate strategic choice is an efficient way to invest funding. The findings have important implications for high-performance managers and suggest that a more diverse resource allocation policy may help to avoid unintended negative consequences.
Dark sides, downsides, and destructive sides of entrepreneurship and innovation: A conceptual typology and research agenda

description: Previous research on entrepreneurship and innovation has mainly focused on the positive aspects and neglected the negative ones. Moreover, the research that addresses the negative aspects of entrepreneurship and innovation is spread across different research streams, so the research findings are fragmented, and we do not have a clear idea of what we already know and what we do not know about the dark sides, downsides, and destructive sides of entrepreneurship and innovation (i.e., the Triple Ds). However, without a comprehensive understanding of the Triple Ds, entrepreneurs, businesses, and society are unprepared and without strategies to deal with the predicaments they will face during and after business creation and/or product/service innovation. Based on the literature we identified through extensive backward and forward snowballing, we develop a conceptual 3x3 typology of the Triple Ds of entrepreneurship and innovation. We find that the Triple Ds can be grouped by impact level, i.e., the individual, the firm, and society, and by impact type, i.e., psychological resources, assets, and relational resources. The typology further illustrates the lack of knowledge about the antecedents, manifestations, consequences, possible interrelationships, and co-occurrence of the Triple Ds. Based on the typology, entrepreneurship and innovation researchers are provided with seven avenues for future research and recommendations on methodological approaches that will help generate valuable knowledge to advance the emerging research field. At the micro-level, scholars are encouraged to explore the underlying mechanisms of the dark sides and downsides of entrepreneurship and innovation by conducting process research combined with a comparative case study approach to arrive at a process-oriented view of the phenomena. At the meso-level, historical and conceptual research on unintended adverse consequences of innovation and experimental research on cognitive biases in decision making in innovation projects are identified as promising avenues for future research. At the macro-level, comparative regional policy research is proposed that focuses on policies to prevent or mitigate the destructive sides of entrepreneurship and innovation, and strategies to manage their consequences. The proposed conceptual typology of the Triple Ds of entrepreneurship and innovation builds on the excellent work of Shepherd (2019) and supports the development of an independent line of research that addresses the negative sides of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Why do galaxies have extended flat rotation curves?

description: Recent observations by Mistele et al. show that the circular velocity curves of isolated galaxies remain flat out to the largest radii probed so far, i.e. $\approx 1$ Mpc. The velocity decline beyond the expected virial radius is not observed. These results imply that the galaxy halo is in thermal equilibrium even at large radii where particles did not have time to relax. The galaxies must have already formed in the isothermal state. How is this possible? In the present note we try to understand the formation of galaxies with warm dark matter in the expanding universe.

description: The early nineteenth century saw the growth of rail lines and ports, which substantially aided many existing towns and cities, such as Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta, and Kano. These amenities were partly responsible for the emergence of new communities. Indeed, railway construction was a watershed moment in Nigeria’s urban development.  In the following decades, the population of emergent towns grew dramatically as developing metropolitan centers capitalized on this and other factors that aided their growth and development. Similarly, Yoruba towns and cities were more diverse in terms of ethnic and sub-ethnic composition, religious affiliation, and vocational specialization during this period. This research set out to historically examine Hausa-Yoruba relations in Akinyele between 1900 and 1960 and, in the course of interrogating the historical events that characterized the relations, the study traced the historical trajectory of Akinyele and its metamorphosis from village to town; identified the development of the Hausa settlers’ community in Akinyele town; and analyzed the nature and patterns of migration of the Hausa people to Akinyele town. Relevant data were collected through a multidisciplinary approach, while information was collected from primary and secondary sources. Oral interviews were conducted to gather historical facts from the oral traditions and testimonies, while pertinent archival resources were also used as primary sources. In addition, government reports, unpublished theses and dissertations, textbooks, journal articles, newspapers, magazines, and online sources were used as secondary sources of information. Akinyele town was found to have witnessed an influx of Hausa migrants from northern Nigeria for business. Some of these Hausas became settlers in the host community after being allocated land. Also, the congestion of Sabo in Ibadan coupled with the recommendation from the then British Residential officer that the Hausa could seek accommodation elsewhere among their host communities in Ibadan equally gave impetus for the migration of some sets of Hausa people to Akinyele town in the mid-20th century.
