description: Background: Several studies reported an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk in Cushing’s syndrome (CS). We performed a meta-analysis on the impact of CS on major markers of atherosclerosis. Methods: Studies on intima-media thickness (IMT), carotid plaques prevalence, and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in CS patients and controls were searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and EMBASE. Differences between cases and controls were expressed as mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for continuous variables, and as Odds Ratio (OR) with 95%CI for dichotomous variables. Results: Fourteen studies (332 CS, 462 controls) were included. Compared with controls, CS patients showed higher IMT (MD: 0.20 mm; 95% CI: 0.12, 0.28; p Conclusions: CS is significantly associated with markers of subclinical atherosclerosis and CV risk. These findings could help establish more specific CV prevention strategies in this clinical setting.Key messagesA series of studies reported an increased cardiovascular risk in patients with Cushing’s syndrome (CS).In the present meta-analysis we demonstrated that CS is associated with an increased intima-media thickness, higher prevalence of carotid plaques, and lower flow-mediated dilation as compared with controls.These data consistently suggest the need for a strict monitoring of early signs of subclinical atherosclerosis in CS patients A series of studies reported an increased cardiovascular risk in patients with Cushing’s syndrome (CS).

description: There has been strong interest in the possibility that in the quantum-gravity realm momentum space might be curved, mainly focusing, especially for what concerns phenomenological implications, on the case of a de Sitter momentum space. We here take as starting point the known fact that quantum gravity coupled to matter in $2+1$ spacetime dimensions gives rise to an effective picture characterized by a momentum space with anti-de Sitter geometry, and we point out some key properties of $2+1$-dimensional anti-de Sitter momentum space. We observe that it is impossible to implement all of these properties in theories with a $3+1$-dimensional anti-de Sitter momentum space, and we then investigate, with the aim of providing guidance to the relevant phenomenology focusing on possible modified laws of conservation of momenta, the implications of giving up, in the $3+1$-dimensional case, some of the properties of the $2+1$-dimensional case.

description: : In 1916, Johannes Droste independently found an exact (vacuum) solution to the Einstein's (gravitational) field equations in empty space. Droste's solution is quasi-comparable to Schwarzschild's one . Droste published his paper entitled “The field of a single centre in Einstein's theory of gravitation, and the motion of a particle in that fieldˮ. The paper communicated (in the meeting of May 27, 1916) by Prof. H.A. Lorentz, and published in ʻProceedings of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Science. 19 (1): 197-215 (1917)ʼ. In the present article, the Droste's solution is scrutinized and proven to be invalid purely and simply because the procedure used by Droste is mathematically questionable since he had systematically, deliberately, and without any justification ‒removed the constant coefficient ʻ2ʼ from the differential term (v'w') in Eq.(6) and added the differential term (wv'') to the same Eq.(6) in order to obtain Eq.(7) which was and is his principal objective, that is, the desired solution. Consequently, Eqs.(6,7) had clearly been falsified.

description: Developing a green and cost-effective catalytic system for the selective oxidation of biomass-derived alcohols is vital for the sustainable synthesis of fine chemicals. Herein, highly dispersed subnanometric amorphous CoOx clusters in anatase TiO2 nanosheets (Co-TiO2) fabricated by green solvent CO2 assisted approach could directly activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the highly selective oxidation of various biomass-derived alcohols. Advanced characterizations (e.g., EXAFS, EPR, AC HAADF-STEM) reveal that a strong interaction of CoOx clusters and the anatase TiO2 support exist in Co-TiO2 and Co atom in Co-TiO2 is mainly consisted of Co2+ and Co3+. The Co-TiO2 catalyst offers superior catalytic performance in the conversion of six types of alcohols (e.g., benzyl alcohol (BAL), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)) with high selectivity to produce corresponding aldehydes. Highly dispersed CoOx clusters and the interaction between CoOx clusters and TiO2 support contribute to the superior performance. Mechanism studies show that SO4 radicals play the dominant role in the selective oxidation of model reactant BAL and 1O2 participates in the non-radical pathway. DFT calculations are well matched with experiment and decipher that the strong interaction between CoOx clusters and TiO2 support promotes the formation of SO4 and SO5.

description: Multilevel modeling is increasingly relevant in the context of modelling and simulation since it leads to several potential benefits, such as software reuse and integration, the split of semantically separated levels into sub-models, the possibility to employ different levels of detail, and the potential for parallel execution. The coupling that inevitably exists between the sub-models, however, implies the need for maintaining consistency between the various components, more so when different simulation paradigms are employed (e.g., sequential vs parallel, discrete vs continuous). In this paper we argue that multilevel modelling is well suited for the simulation of human mobility, since it naturally leads to the decomposition of the model into two layers, the "micro" and "macro" layer, where individual entities (micro) and long-range interactions (macro) are described. In this paper we investigate the challenges of multilevel modeling, and describe some preliminary results using prototype implementations of multilayer simulators in the context of epidemic diffusion and vehicle pollution.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: Organizations rely on machine learning engineers (MLEs) to deploy models and maintain ML pipelines in production. Due to models' extensive reliance on fresh data, the operationalization of machine learning, or MLOps, requires MLEs to have proficiency in data science and engineering. When considered holistically, the job seems staggering -- how do MLEs do MLOps, and what are their unaddressed challenges? To address these questions, we conducted semi-structured ethnographic interviews with 18 MLEs working on various applications, including chatbots, autonomous vehicles, and finance. We find that MLEs engage in a workflow of (i) data preparation, (ii) experimentation, (iii) evaluation throughout a multi-staged deployment, and (iv) continual monitoring and response. Throughout this workflow, MLEs collaborate extensively with data scientists, product stakeholders, and one another, supplementing routine verbal exchanges with communication tools ranging from Slack to organization-wide ticketing and reporting systems. We introduce the 3Vs of MLOps: velocity, visibility, and versioning -- three virtues of successful ML deployments that MLEs learn to balance and grow as they mature. Finally, we discuss design implications and opportunities for future work.

description: Background/Aims: Recent updates to the Nikkiso Aquarius continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) platform allowed us to develop a post-dilution protocol for regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) using standard bicarbonate buffered, calcium containing replacement solution with acid citrate dextrose formula-A as a citrate source. Our objective was to demonstrate that the protocol was safe and effective. Methods: Prospective audit of consecutive patients receiving RCA for CRRT within intensive care unit, who were either contraindicated to heparin or had poor filter lifespan (<12 h for 2 consecutive filters) on heparin. Results: We present the first 29 patients who used 98 filters. After excluding ‘non-clot' filter loss, 50% had a duration of >27 h. Calcium supplementation was required for 30 (30%) filter circuits, in 17 of 29 (58%) patients. One patient discontinued the treatment due to metabolic alkalosis, but there were no adverse bleeding events. Conclusion: Post-dilution RCA system is effective and simple to use on the Aquarius platform and results in comparable filter life for patients relatively contraindicated to heparin.

description: Temporal expression identification is crucial for understanding texts written in natural language. Although highly effective systems such as HeidelTime exist, their limited runtime performance hampers adoption in large-scale applications and production environments. In this paper, we introduce the TEI2GO models, matching HeidelTime's effectiveness but with significantly improved runtime, supporting six languages, and achieving state-of-the-art results in four of them. To train the TEI2GO models, we used a combination of manually annotated reference corpus and developed ``Professor HeidelTime'', a comprehensive weakly labeled corpus of news texts annotated with HeidelTime. This corpus comprises a total of $138,069$ documents (over six languages) with $1,050,921$ temporal expressions, the largest open-source annotated dataset for temporal expression identification to date. By describing how the models were produced, we aim to encourage the research community to further explore, refine, and extend the set of models to additional languages and domains. Code, annotations, and models are openly available for community exploration and use. The models are conveniently on HuggingFace for seamless integration and application.

description: The Eu3+ and Sr2+ ions co-doped hydroxyapatite nanopowders (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) were synthesized via a precipitation method and post heat-treated at 500 °C. The concentration of Eu3+ ions was established in the range of 0.5–5 mol% to investigate the site occupancy preference. The concentration of Sr2+ ions was set at 5 mol%. The structural and morphological properties of the obtained materials were studied by an X-ray powder diffraction, a transmission electron microscopy techniques and infrared spectroscopy. As synthesized nanoparticles were in the range of 11–17 nm and annealed particles were in the range of 20–26 nm. The luminescence properties in dependence of the dopant concentration and applied temperature were investigated. The 5D0 → 7F0 transition shown the abnormally strong intensity for annealed materials connected with the increase of covalency character of Eu3+–O2− bond, which arise as an effect of charge compensation mechanism. The Eu3+ ions occupied three possible crystallographic sites in these materials revealed in emission spectra: one Ca(1) site with C3 symmetry and two Ca(2) sites with Cs symmetry arranged as cis and trans symmetry. The antibacterial properties of Eu3+ and Sr2+ ions doped and co-doped hydroxyapatite nanopowders were also determined against Gram-negative pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. Obtained results suggest that both europium and strontium ions may implement antibacterial properties for hydroxyapatites. In the most cases, better antibacterial effect we noticed for dopants at 5 mol% ratio. However, the effect is strongly species- and strain-dependent feature.

description: We report on the serendipitous discovery of 49 HI-rich galaxies in a 2.3 hour Open Time observation with MeerKAT. We present their properties including their HI masses, intensity and velocity maps, and spectra. We determine that at least three HI-rich galaxy groups have been detected, potentially as part of a supergroup. Some members of these galaxy groups show clear interaction with each other in their HI emission. We cross-match the detections with PanSTARRS, WISE and GALEX, and obtain stellar masses and star formation rates. One source is found to be a potential OH megamaser, but further follow-up is required to confidently determine this. For 6 sources with sufficient spatial resolution in HI we produce rotation curves with BBarolo, generate mass models, and derive a dark matter halo mass. While the number of galaxies detected in this relatively short pointing appears to be at the high end of expectations compared to other MeerKAT observations and group HIMF studies, this finding highlights the capability of MeerKAT for other serendipitous discoveries, and the potential for many more HI-rich galaxies to be revealed within both existing and upcoming Open Time datasets.

description: Scholarly editions of printed textual traditions from the early modern period—particularly in German literary
 studies—are not quite on the upswing at the moment. Even the start of rather ‘modern’ editorial large-scale
 projects lies several decades behind, especially when it comes to the conception, textual criticism, scholarly
 preparation and presentation of the mostly multimodal tradition. Most of all projects missed the connection to
 the Digital Age and are no longer or hardly ever used in academic teaching and research. So, why another
 scholarly edition concerning the work of a baroque author?The digital Greflinger-Archive-Edition wants to realise
 the programmatic demands on scholarly editions with and for the digital medium using a critical amount of
 texts by one of the most productive and versatile writers of the 17th century. By choosing the presentation
 form and the technical instruments for a modern scholarly edition of printed textual traditions from the early
 modern period, this project is to be an exemplaric one; and being confronted with heterogeneous and
 multimodal materials wants to make the editorial subject amenable for and reprocess it according to user
 interests of an interdisciplinary and increasing international scientific community.The digital archive-edition of the
 works and writings by the early modern period writer and journalist avant le lettre Georg Greflinger is
 considering itself decidedly as an interdisciplinary project in the field of digital humanities. About 450 pieces of
 casual poetry, a verse epic about the Thirty-Years War, a set of translations, several collections of poems and
 songs with musical notations, pamphlets and broadsheets about everyday politics, behavioural instructions,
 illustrated guidebooks for garden, etc., assistances about foreign language pedagogics and one of the first
 weekly appearing newspapers in thirteen self-penned, edited and printed annual volumes (the Nordische
 Mercurius) are to be edited.Concerning the projected workshop report, it is planned to draft the editorial and
 technical demands on such a project of scholarly editing based on established and anticipated interdisciplinary
 user interests, and finally putting them up for a critical discussion among potential users.

description: Word embedding, a high-dimensional (HD) numerical representation of words generated by machine learning models, has been used for different natural language processing tasks, e.g., translation between two languages. Recently, there has been an increasing trend of transforming the HD embeddings into a latent space (e.g., via autoencoders) for further tasks, exploiting various merits the latent representations could bring. To preserve the embeddings' quality, these works often map the embeddings into an even higher-dimensional latent space, making the already complicated embeddings even less interpretable and consuming more storage space. In this work, we borrow the idea of $β$VAE to regularize the HD latent space. Our regularization implicitly condenses information from the HD latent space into a much lower-dimensional space, thus compressing the embeddings. We also show that each dimension of our regularized latent space is more semantically salient, and validate our assertion by interactively probing the encoding-level of user-proposed semantics in the dimensions. To the end, we design a visual analytics system to monitor the regularization process, explore the HD latent space, and interpret latent dimensions' semantics. We validate the effectiveness of our embedding regularization and interpretation approach through both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.
Climate change risks: an examination of corporate risk responses, disclosures and disclosure implications

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Climate change is one of the greatest challenges faced by Australian companies as it poses regulatory, physical and market risks that represent significant problems for companies and their stakeholders. Specifically, these risks can transform into large-scale financial problems exposing companies to billions of losses. Acknowledging the looming financial consequences of climate change risks, this thesis examines issues related to climate change through three studies set in the Australian context. The first study uses a survey to explore the extent of climate change risk responses by companies and whether the extent of climate change responses is influenced by the top risk managers’ climate change belief, strategic management factors (i.e. company strategy and company structure) and stakeholder factors (i.e. stakeholder pressure and external stakeholder interaction). Its findings can be used by regulators to identify companies that are failing to provide adequate climate change risk responses and take necessary actions to ensure these shortcomings are addressed by companies. Using content analysis, the second study explores current climate change risk and risk response disclosures by companies, and whether the extent of these disclosures is impacted by corporate financial factors (i.e. profitability, gearing and ownership concentration) and corporate governance factors (i.e. proportion of non-executive directors, proportion of female directors and the presence of an environmental committee). Its findings provide important recommendations for companies to improve disclosure practices, which will create value for both the companies and their stakeholders, since inadequate disclosures can cause legal consequences for the former and uninformed decisions can cause unfavourable financial consequences for the latter. The third study uses a survey experiment to explore how investors react to different levels of climate change risk and risk response disclosures by companies. Its findings inform companies about investors’ expectations regarding the extent of climate change risk disclosures when making investment decisions.

description: Evidence-based practice (EBP) in software engineering aims to improve decision-making in software development by complementing practitioners' professional judgment with high-quality evidence from research. We believe the use of EBP techniques may be helpful for research software engineers (RSEs) in their work to bring software engineering best practices to scientific software development. In this study, we present an experience report on the use of a particular EBP technique, rapid reviews, within an RSE team at Sandia National Laboratories, and present practical recommendations for how to address barriers to EBP adoption within the RSE community.

description: In this study, we propose the early adoption of Explainable AI (XAI) with a focus on three properties: Quality of explanation, the explanation summaries should be consistent across multiple XAI methods; Architectural Compatibility, for effective integration in XAI, the architecture styles of both the XAI methods and the models to be explained must be compatible with the framework; Configurable operations, XAI explanations are operable, akin to machine learning operations. Thus, an explanation for AI models should be reproducible and tractable to be trustworthy. We present XAIport, a framework of XAI microservices encapsulated into Open APIs to deliver early explanations as observation for learning model quality assurance. XAIport enables configurable XAI operations along with machine learning development. We quantify the operational costs of incorporating XAI with three cloud computer vision services on Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Amazon Rekognition. Our findings show comparable operational costs between XAI and traditional machine learning, with XAIport significantly improving both cloud AI model performance and explanation stability.

description: Biomedical applications of nanoparticles (NPs) are largely dependent on their cellular uptake potential that enables them to reach the specific targets in the body. Experimental determination of cellular uptake of diverse functionalized NPs in different human cell types is tedious, expensive and time intensive, hence compelling for alternative methods. We developed quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models for predicting uptake of functionalized NPs in multiple cell types in accordance with the OECD guidelines. The decision treeboost QSAR models precisely predicted uptake of 104 NPs in five different cell types yielding high R2 between experimental and model predicted values in the respective training (>0.966) and test (>0.914) sets. The cross-validation Q2 values ranged between 0.627 and 0.926. Low RMSE (<0.11) and MAE (<0.09) in test data emphasized for the usefulness of developed models for predicting new NPs, which outperformed the previous reports. Relevant structural features of NPs (modifier) that were responsible and influence the cellular permeability were identified. Here, we also attempted to develop intercellular uptake correlations based quantitative activity–activity relationship (QAAR) models for predicting cellular viability of NPs for all the cell types. The performances of all the 20 developed QAAR models were highly comparable with the QSAR models. The applicability domains of the developed models were defined using leverage method. The proposed QAAR models can be employed for extrapolating activity endpoints of NPs to either of the five cell types when the data for the other cell type are available. The developed models can be used as tools for screening new functionalized NPs for their cell-specific affinities prior to their biomedical applications.

description: The aim of this paper is to review recent advances in the tribological characterization of biodiesel and various attempts to improve its lubricity by applying additives and optimizing its components. Lubricity of biodiesel or biodiesel contained blend in both metallic and nonmetallic contacts are presented. In biodiesel lubrication, properly selected nonmetallic surface is able to reduce friction and wear compared to metal-on-metal contact. The impact of the primary parameters, such as load, velocity, and temperature, on the tribological performance of biodiesel are described. Positive dependence of friction and wear on load and temperature and negative dependence on velocity are determined. Current challenges in application of biodiesel and future directions to potential solutions are summarized as well.
Furness Abbey - an archaeological re-consideration.

description: This article puts on record discoveries made since the survey by St John Hope in 1900. These result from clearance of the site by the Ministry of Works since 1923, clarifying minor points in the church, chapter-house and other cloister buildings and revealing the guest-house north of the church. It is suggested that the capella extra portas originated as a mid-14th cent chapel deliberately founded to foster pilgrimage in the NW. The medieval and post-medieval architectural history of the Furness Abbey Hotel is traced: it occupied the abbey outer court and its guest hall was the nucleus of the post-Dissolution manor house of the Preston family. Bilson's criticisms of Hope's article form an appendix. LASB

description: SD 635852. Total excavation of a peasant house lying among small fields on Middleton Fell revealed a sub-rectangular building crossed by two internal paved pathways, one of which contained a hearth. There was no clearly defined doorway, although the paths seemed to indicate entries in one long and one gable wall. The house was on a platform levelled out of the fell, with its rear wall against a steep bank. One structural phase only was observed. A few metal finds and pottery from the midden suggested 13th-14th cent occupation. Pottery from a presumed kiln site at Docker Moor, seven miles away (SD 575755), which closely matches the Millhouse finds, is illustrated in an appendix.

description: The beneficial recycle of drinking water treatment residue (DWTR) in environmental remediation has been demonstrated in many reports. However, the lack of information concerning the potential toxicity of dewatered DWTR hinders its widespread use. The present study examined the ecotoxicity of dewatered aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) DWTR leachates to a green alga, Chlorella vulgaris. Data from the variations of cell density and chlorophyll a content suggested that algal growth in DWTR leachates was inhibited. The algal cellular oxidation stress was initially induced but completely eliminated within 72 h by antioxidant enzymes. The expression of three photosynthesis-related algae genes (psaB, psbC, and rbcL) also temporarily decreased (within 72 h). Moreover, the algal cells showed intact cytomembranes after exposure to DWTR leachates. Further investigation confirmed that inhibition of algal growth was due to DWTR-induced phosphorus (P) deficiency in growth medium, rather than potentially toxic contaminants (e.g. copper and Al) contained in DWTR. Interestingly, the leachates could potentially promote algal growth via increasing the supply of new components (e.g. calcium, kalium, magnesium, and ammonia nitrogen) from DWTR. In summary, based on the algae toxicity test, the dewatered Fe/Al DWTR was nontoxic and its environment recycling does not represent an ecotoxicological risk to algae.

description: We analysed genetic variation within and differentiation between nineteen populations of the fire salamander Salamandra salamandra inhabiting the north-eastern margin of the species range in the Sudetes Mountains (south-western Poland). The results were compared with those obtained recently for the Polish part of the Carpathians. Variation of 10 nuclear microsatellite loci was analysed in 744 individuals to estimate genetic structure, gene flow, isolation and to test for a geographic gradient of genetic variation. Mitochondrial DNA control region (D-loop) of 252 specimens from all localities was used to identify the origin of populations currently inhabiting its north-eastern range. We found little genetic differentiation among populations in the Sudetes indicating substantial recent or ongoing gene flow. The exceptions were one isolated peripheral population located outside the continuous distribution range which displayed extremely reduced genetic variation probably due to a combination of long term isolation and low population size, and one population located at the eastern margin of the Polish Sudetes. Populations inhabiting the Sudetes and the Carpathians formed two separate clusters based on microsatellite loci. In accordance with available phylogeographic information, single mitochondrial haplotype (type IIb) fixed in all populations indicates their origin from a single refugium and may suggest colonization from the Balkan Peninsula. The analysis of geographic gradient in variation showed its decline in the westerly direction suggesting colonization of Poland from the east, however, alternative scenarios of postglacial colonization could not be rejected with the available data.

description: We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach to superresolution optical imaging by combining quantum optics and near-field optics. Our concept involves the utilization of single-photon quantum emitters to generate a stand-alone evanescent wave. We demonstrate that the quantum interference effects of single-photon emitters, in conjunction with their near-field, result in a higher resolution of subwavelength structures than systems that are only quantum enhanced or only near-field enhanced. We believe that nano-sized emitters could be employed to accomplish the goals of this research, taking into account the current progress in nanophotonics and quantum optics technology.
