description: Whistleblowing is essential for ensuring transparency and accountability in both public and private sectors. However, (potential) whistleblowers often fear or face retaliation, even when reporting anonymously. The specific content of their disclosures and their distinct writing style may re-identify them as the source. Legal measures, such as the EU WBD, are limited in their scope and effectiveness. Therefore, computational methods to prevent re-identification are important complementary tools for encouraging whistleblowers to come forward. However, current text sanitization tools follow a one-size-fits-all approach and take an overly limited view of anonymity. They aim to mitigate identification risk by replacing typical high-risk words (such as person names and other NE labels) and combinations thereof with placeholders. Such an approach, however, is inadequate for the whistleblowing scenario since it neglects further re-identification potential in textual features, including writing style. Therefore, we propose, implement, and evaluate a novel classification and mitigation strategy for rewriting texts that involves the whistleblower in the assessment of the risk and utility. Our prototypical tool semi-automatically evaluates risk at the word/term level and applies risk-adapted anonymization techniques to produce a grammatically disjointed yet appropriately sanitized text. We then use a LLM that we fine-tuned for paraphrasing to render this text coherent and style-neutral. We evaluate our tool's effectiveness using court cases from the ECHR and excerpts from a real-world whistleblower testimony and measure the protection against authorship attribution (AA) attacks and utility loss statistically using the popular IMDb62 movie reviews dataset. Our method can significantly reduce AA accuracy from 98.81% to 31.22%, while preserving up to 73.1% of the original content's semantics.

description: Overview of portfolioThe COVID-19 pandemic and resulting social distancing measures resulted in widespread disruption to the daily lives and routines of people across the globe. Adolescents are a group that endured particular disruption to their social lives, education and family functioning. Adolescence is a period of development marked by changes to social, biological and psychological functioning. For some, adolescence is the point where mental health problems can begin to emerge. Targeting interventions at this critical stage of development may prevent the onset and development of diagnosable mental health problems. This thesis aims to explore the impact of the UK COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on a diverse group of adolescents living in London. Both parts of the thesis use existing data from the Resilience Ethnicity and Adolescent Mental Health (REACH) study. Part A uses quantitative questionnaire data to explore the impact of disruption to social connectedness on psychotic like experiences (PLEs) in adolescents during the pandemic. Findings show that young people who reported changes to the quality of relationships with family for the worse, and those who reported feeling lonely during the pandemic were more likely to experience PLEs. Targeting the modifiable risk factor of social connectedness in adolescence could have implications for protecting against the onset of diagnosable metal health problems. Part B uses Reflexive Thematic Analysis to analyse qualitative interview data, exploring how young people navigated home life and changes to family dynamics during the UK lockdown. Findings show that many young people struggled with managing the shift in dynamics with their families as a result of the pandemic. Young people found that disruption to social contact outside of the family system, limited physical space and an increase in responsibilities impacted their wellbeing. This study has implications for the targeting of support to families, particularly the most disadvantaged.

description: A field experiment replicated over two seasons examined allelopathic effects of eleven sorghum accessions with known sorgoleone content on sorghum growth and yield, weed density and biomass at Panmure Experiment Station, in Shamva, Zimbabwe in the 2017/2018 summer and in late winter to summer in 2018. The trial was a 2 × 11 factorial in a randomized complete block design plus two control treatments replicated thrice. Factor A was weeding regime with two levels: clean weeding and no weeding. Factor B were 11 sorghum accessions. There was a significant sorghum accession × weeding regime interaction effect (p < 0.05) on sorghum head weight. Weeding significantly (p < 0.05) caused heavy Macia heads compared to no weeding. There was a weak negative relationship between sorgoleone content and head weight (r = −.28, p = 0.413), and between sorgoleone content and grain weight (r = −.31, p = 0.357) in winter. There was a highly significant sorghum presence × weeding regime interaction (p < 0.001) on A. conyzoides and R. scabra density in summer. There was no significant correlation (p > 0.05) between sorgoleone content and weed density and biomass, suggesting that sorgoleone may not instantly cause allelopathic effects on weeds upon its release from root hairs because it is strongly sorbed in soil, and inhibition of density and biomass might have been caused by other allelopathic compounds. Future research should trace uptake and translocation of allelopathic compounds to target sites of receiver plants, and demonstrate that subsequent damage symptoms are caused by the allelopathic compounds.

description: Die Ergebnisse der internationalen PIAAC-Studie geben einen Hinweis darauf, warum das Buch Deutsch für den Beruf von Constanze Niederhaus relevant ist. In über 30 OECD-Ländern wurden drei Kompetenzen bei Erwachsenen zwischen 16 und 65 Jahren gemessen: Lesekompetenz, alltagsmathematische Kompetenz und technologieorientierte Problemlösefähigkeit. Die Resultate der Erwachsenen in Deutschland aus der letzten Testphase im Jahr 2013 sind ernüchternd: Die nur unterdurchschnittliche Lesekompetenz Erwachsener in Deutschland wird flankiert von nur durchschnittlichen Fähigkeiten in den beiden anderen Bereichen – technologiebasierte Problemlösefähigkeit und alltagsmathematische Kompetenz. Dabei halten die Autorinnen der deutschen PIAAC-Studie fest, dass Sprachkompetenz der Schlüssel für berufliche und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe ist (vgl. Rammstedt/Ackermann/Helmschrott/Klaukien/Maehler 2013: 20). Für ein Land im Strukturwandel (vgl. BMAS 2019: 2–5), zu dessen wichtigen Ressourcen der produktive Umgang mit Wissen gehört, ist das alarmierend (vgl. OECD 2021: 35–37).

description: While agroforestry systems serve as alternative land management strategies aimed at enhancing soil properties and augmenting carbon storage, their adoption and implementation intensity remain limited in Ethiopia. This study designed to identify factors influencing the adoption of agroforestry (AF) for mitigating land degradation (MLD) in the Nadi and Yedi micro watersheds of southwestern Ethiopia, utilizing a reconnaissance field survey and a multi-stage purposive sampling technique. In accordance with this objective, a total of 380 household heads were selected and interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics and the Double Hurdle econometric model. As a result, home gardens (74.4%; 82.8%) and coffee farms (38.6%; 51.5%) were the most widely adopted AF techniques in the Nadi and Yedi watersheds, respectively. More than half of the household heads reported that AF contributes to decreasing soil erosion, enhancing moisture, and improving fertility. The first hurdle model indicates that eight explanatory variables, namely livestock number, farming experience, income, family size, access to information, education level, farm distance, and land security, influenced the adoption of AF practices. In the second hurdle, nine explanatory variables, namely education level, livestock number, income, participation in natural resource projects, access to material support, access to extension, marital status, physical measures conservation, and land security, influenced the adoption intensity of AF practices. This study comprehensively identifies barriers to adopting AF, encompassing institutional, socio-economic, biophysical, and demographic characteristics specific to the study area. As such, future land management initiatives should prioritize a multifaceted approach to accelerate and expand AF adoption, thereby sustainably MLD.

description: We study the production of $X(3872)$ mesons in photon-induced nuclear reactions near the threshold within the collision model based on the nuclear spectral function. The model accounts for direct photon-nucleon $X(3872)$ production processes as well as five different scenarios for their internal structure. We calculate the absolute and relative excitation functions for $X(3872)$ production off $^{12}$C and $^{184}$W target nuclei at near-threshold incident photon energies of 8--16 GeV, the absolute differential cross sections for their production off these target nuclei at laboratory angles of 0$^{\circ}$--10$^{\circ}$ and for incident photon energy of 13 GeV as well as the A dependences of the relative (transparency ratios) cross sections for $X(3872)$ production from $γA$ collisions at photon energies around 13 GeV within the adopted scenarios for the $X(3872)$ meson internal structure. We show that the absolute and relative observables considered reveal distinct sensitivity to these scenarios. Therefore, the measurement of such observables in a dedicated experiment at the CEBAF facility in the near-threshold energy range will allow us to get valuable information on the $X(3872)$ inner structure.

description: In this study, the effects of subacute Pterocarpus santalinus (rosewood) consumption on lung, brain, stomach, and hematological parameters in Wistar rats were evaluated. Mice of both sexes were used in the experiment. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were given 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg of red sandalwood, and group 1 was given distilled water (10 ml/kg). Animals were kept in standard cages for 28 days and extracts were taken orally before being weighed and sacrificed. Histological analysis was performed using the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining technique. The brain, spleen, and stomach were also carefully removed and examined histologically. RBC, HGB, and MCV decreased slightly (P < 0.05), but there was no change in neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, or platelets. No significant (P < 0.05) changes were observed in the brain, spleen, and stomach of mice in all dose groups. Lung histopathological analysis showed no difference in alveolitis and perivasculitis at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg, but there were no changes in the brain and intestines. The plant is also safe to eat. Due to minor hematological effects, caution is advised with long-term use.

description: Background
Modular acetabular components for total hip arthroplasty (THA) provide intraoperative flexibility; however, polyethylene liner dissociation may occur. This study aimed to examine the incidence and causes of liner dissociation associated with a specific acetabular component design at a single centre.
Materials and methods
A retrospective analysis of 7027 patients who underwent primary THA was performed to identify isolated liner dislocations. Patient demographics, clinical presentations, surgical and implant details, and both radiographic and computed tomography (CT) findings were analysed. Patients with liner dislocation were matched to a control group via 2:1 propensity score matching, and a logistic regression analysis was employed to identify associated risk factors.
Results
A total of 32 patients (0.45%) experienced liner dislocation at a mean 71.47 ± 60.10 months post surgery. Significant factors contributing to dislocations included the use of a conventional compared with a highly crosslinked polyethylene component (p = 0.049) and screw fixation (p = 0.028). Radiographic and CT analysis highlighted the importance of proper component orientation, revealing that patients experiencing dislocations demonstrated significantly lower acetabular cup anteversion angles (p = 0.001) compared with the control group. Impingement and malposition, identified in 41% and 47% of the cases, respectively, further underscored the multifactorial nature of dislocation risks.
Conclusions
While the overall rate of polyethylene liner dislocation was low, the findings of this study highlight the importance of appropriate cup placement to decrease the risk of dissociation. It further substantiates the influence of impingement and malposition in liner displacement, with increased mechanical stress exerted on the locking mechanism under adverse conditions and the potential risk increase due to screw placement.

description: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of rosemary (REO) and basil (BEO) essential oils (EO) on minced raw meat samples. The meat samples were subsequently treated with various concentrations: 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% (v/w) of rosemary (MR0.5, MR1.0, and MR1.5) and basil (MB0.5, MB1.0, and MB1.5) EO, respectively, as well as meat sample without EO treatment was used as a control. Afterward, the samples were stored at 4 °C and monitored for pH, Hunter CIEL*a*b* color and bacterial counts at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days. Results indicated that EO treatment offered a lower pH, particularly for BEO treatment as compared to the control. Samples treated with BEO presented the higher CIEL*a*b* (lightness, redness and yellowness) values followed by REO treatments as compared to the control during the entire storage periods. The addition of both EO to minced meat resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) reduction of tested bacterial counts, whereas increased throughout storage in the control sample. The growth of total bacterial counts was delayed by 3, 4.82, 3.48, and 4.81 log CFU/g of meat in MR0.5%, MR1.0%, MB0.5%, and MB1.0%, respectively. Coliform and Salmonella counts were observed in MR1.0%, MB0.5%, and MB1.0% and fully inhibited at the end of storage. In general, BEO and REO treatments effectively maintained pH, color measured as CIEL*a*b* and prevent bacterial growth in minced meat during storage at 4 °C, with pronounced efficacy of BEO.
Investigating the impact of internal heating and cooling on rotating convection
Creators: name: Joshi-Cale, Tom
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Simulations of stellar convection are typically performed in parameter spaces orders of magnitude away from astrophysical regimes. To be astrophysically relevant, we need to be able to extrapolate simulated results into these regimes. Convection in stars is almost universally modelled using Mixing Length Theory which is “diffusion-free”: it exhibits no dependence on microphysical viscosity or conductivity. However, in typical simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection the heat transport is often throttled by thermal boundary layers and as such is not diffusion-free. Here, we examine simulations of convection designed to minimise the impact of these boundary layers through the use of internal heating and cooling profiles, as pioneered by Kazemi et al. 2020. We extend that work to rotating convection, and present results using both no-slip and more astrophysical free-slip boundary conditions. We find that in rotating no-slip cases the heat transport is diffusion-free. Surprisingly, we do not find the same thing in the more physical free-slip case, where we find a steeper-than-expected scaling.

description: Purpose
Bone marrow stimulation is a common treatment for full-thickness cartilage defects in the hip joint. However, common procedures may result in poor fibrous repair tissue and changes to the subchondral anatomy. This study investigated the clinical outcome of a cohort of International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) grades 3 and 4 cartilage defects treated with bone marrow stimulation compared to those who received simple debridement/chondroplasty.
Methods
In this retrospective registry study, 236 patients with uni-focal acetabular chondral lesions of the hip up to 400 mm² (mean 177.4 ± 113.4 mm²) and of ICRS grade ≥3 with follow-up of at least 12 months (mean 33.2 ± 15.3 months) were included. Eighty-one patients underwent bone marrow stimulation (microfracture: n = 44, abrasion: n = 37) besides treatment of the underlying pathology, 155 patients underwent defect debridement/chondroplasty. The patient-reported outcome was measured using the International Hip Outcome Tool 33 (iHOT33) score and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain.
Results
iHOT33 and VAS both improved highly statistically significantly (p < 0.001) in the debridement group after 6, 12, 24, 36 and 60 months compared to the preoperative scores, whereas iHOT33 and VAS after microfracture or abrasion did not show statistically significant changes over time. Twenty-four and sixty months postsurgery the debridement group revealed significant higher scores in the iHOT33 compared to the bone marrow stimulation groups.
Conclusion
Patients with chondral lesions of the hip ≤400 mm2 sustainably benefit from arthroscopic debridement under preservation of the subchondral bone plate in terms of functional outcome and pain in contrast to patients treated with bone marrow stimulation. These findings discourage the currently recommended use of microfracture in the hip joint.

description: The early optimal crop age for harvest is a desirable characteristic in cassava. Many cassava accessions have been disregarded due to their late maturity. In Ethiopia, there is a lack of data on cassava maturity studies, highlighting the need for further research. The study aimed to determine the optimal crop age for harvest in cassava using stored root yield over time. A total of 64 accessions were evaluated using a lattice design from 10 to 22 months after planting (MAP). Results of the analysis of variance showed a highly significant (p < 0.001) difference in the optimal crop ages for harvest in cassava. The fresh storage root yield (FSRY) ranged from 5.5 t ha-1 at 10 MAP to 72 t ha-1 at 18 MAP crop age. Clustering analysis categorized 64 accessions into three clusters with varied crop ages. The highest genetic coefficient of variation (35.2%) was at 10 MAP crop ages, while the lowest genetic coefficient of variation (21.8%) was at 18 MAP crop age. This indicates that the evaluated accessions had high genetic variability in the optimal FSRY over time. Furthermore, the FSRY had high broad-sense heritability and a genetic advance percent mean at all crop ages, indicating the presence of an additive gene effect. G30 at 10 MAP, G11, G17, G31, G55, and G56 at 12 MAP crop ages are selected as promising candidates for utilization. The study indicates that cassava cultivars can be developed below the national recommended crop age for harvest in the evaluated population. Cassava is one of the main subsistence crops grown for food by a large proportion of farmers. It has great potential to diversify the food base of families in Africa. Despite the crop’s importance, it is underutilized and less researched in terms of genetic variability. The early optimal crop age for harvest is a desirable characteristic in cassava. Many cassava accessions have been disregarded due to their late maturity. In Ethiopia, there is a lack of data on cassava maturity studies, highlighting the need for further research. Thus, the study aimed to determine the optimal crop age for harvest in cassava using stored root yield over time, and the identified accessions can be utilized for production.

description: Background and aims
Serum eye drops alleviate ocular symptoms of diseases such as sicca syndrome, or chronic graft-versus-host disease. This study was designed for good manufacturing practice validation of our standard manufacturing, storage and transport processes for both autologous and allogenic SEDs. Specifications of quality parameters are lacking and were aimed to be defined.
Methods
Using sterile collected, coagulated whole blood, serum was separated by centrifugation and filled into single-use eye drop applicator vials. Quality control tests included visual inspection, sterility, leukocyte concentration, pH, vitamin A, TGF-ß and VEGF-A. Samples were collected after manufacture and after 24 h and 6 months of frozen storage (−20°C). Sterility testing was performed after opening the SED applicators at specified intervals. For transport validation, SEDs were packed in insulated transport bags and stored at 20–24°C and 30–32°C for 8 h.
Results
Vitamin A, TGF-ß and VEGF-A assays showed no difference in concentration between fresh and 24 h frozen serum. All specifications for pH (aim 7.4) and cellular contamination were met and microbiological contamination tests were negative. Shelf-life was defined as 6 months at −20°C. Once opened, the product must be used within 24 h to avoid bacterial outgrowth. Transporting frozen SEDs from the manufacturer via a local pharmacy to the patient within a maximum of 4 h was demonstrated.
Conclusions
The GMP compliance of our production, storage and transport processes for autologous and allogenic SEDs was successfully validated. 100% serum eye drops in single-use applicators can be safely used for up to 24 h after opening.
"In-Context Learning" or: How I learned to stop worrying and love "Applied Information Retrieval"

description: With the increasing ability of large language models (LLMs), in-context learning (ICL) has evolved as a new paradigm for natural language processing (NLP), where instead of fine-tuning the parameters of an LLM specific to a downstream task with labeled examples, a small number of such examples is appended to a prompt instruction for controlling the decoder's generation process. ICL, thus, is conceptually similar to a non-parametric approach, such as $k$-NN, where the prediction for each instance essentially depends on the local topology, i.e., on a localised set of similar instances and their labels (called few-shot examples). This suggests that a test instance in ICL is analogous to a query in IR, and similar examples in ICL retrieved from a training set relate to a set of documents retrieved from a collection in IR. While standard unsupervised ranking models can be used to retrieve these few-shot examples from a training set, the effectiveness of the examples can potentially be improved by re-defining the notion of relevance specific to its utility for the downstream task, i.e., considering an example to be relevant if including it in the prompt instruction leads to a correct prediction. With this task-specific notion of relevance, it is possible to train a supervised ranking model (e.g., a bi-encoder or cross-encoder), which potentially learns to optimally select the few-shot examples. We believe that the recent advances in neural rankers can potentially find a use case for this task of optimally choosing examples for more effective downstream ICL predictions.

description: The effects of four continuous tillage regimes; mouldboard ploughing, tine-tillage, shallow tine-tillage, no-tillage; and three tillage rotations (involving shallow tine-tillage once every two, three, and four years in rotation with no-tillage), and two rates of synthetic agrochemicals (standard: with regular application of synthetic agrochemicals; and reduced: fewer synthetic agrochemicals in combination with biostimulants) on wheat and canola yield and quality were investigated between 2018 and 2020 under typical Mediterranean climatic conditions in South Africa. It was hypothesised that a combination of tillage rotations and the application of reduced synthetic agrochemicals will improve crop yield and quality relative to mouldboard ploughing or no-tillage. Results showed that a combination of reduced application of synthetic agrochemicals and tillage rotation practices maintained but did not significantly increase crop yield and quality, relative to no-tillage and mouldboard ploughing. Results also showed that intensive ploughing is unnecessary as it did not significantly increase yields (p > 0.05). In addition, it is possible to reduce the quantity of synthetic agrochemicals applied by partially replacing them with biostimulants without significant changes in grain or seed yields and quality. We, therefore, suggest that producers opt for biostimulants in combination with no-tillage or tillage rotation as a sustainable way of farming.

description: Acute kidney injury (AKI) prevalence in surgical patients is high, emphasizing the need for preventative measures. This study addresses the insufficient evidence on nephroprotective intraoperative fluid resuscitation and highlights the drawbacks of relying solely on serum creatinine/urine output to monitor kidney function. This study assessed the impact of intraoperative fluid management on AKI in female breast cancer patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction, utilizing novel urinary biomarkers (TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7). In a monocentric prospective randomized controlled trial involving 40 patients, liberal (LFA) and restrictive (FRV) fluid management strategies were compared. TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 biomarker levels were assessed using the NephroCheck (bioMerieux, France) test kit at preoperative, immediate postoperative, and 24-h postoperative stages. FRV showed significantly higher immediate postoperative biomarker levels, indicating renal tubular stress. FRV patients had 21% (4/19) experiencing AKI compared to 13% (2/15) in the LFA group according to KDIGO criteria (p = 0.385). Restrictive fluid resuscitation increases the risk of AKI in surgical patients significantly, emphasizing the necessity for individualized hemodynamic management. The findings underscore the importance of urinary biomarkers in early AKI detection.
Cool Stars, Hot Tech: Spectral Typing of M, L, and T Dwarfs with AI
Creators: name: Zhou, Tianxing
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Low-mass stars and brown dwarfs span the spectral type range of M, L, T, and Y, with an effective temperature ≲ 3800K. Currently, the classification of these ‘Cool Stars’ relies heavily on visual inspection, spectral features, or spectral indices. However, the increasing volume of data from new sky surveys necessitates a more efficient spectral typing approach. In this project, we investigate a machine-learning model capable of classifying spectra from M0 to T9 dwarfs, identifying metallicities classes (e.g., sd, esd), and surface gravity classes (e.g., β, γ). The model is trained using synthetic spectra generated from 70 spectral standards and tested on ∼ 2000 low-resolution (R∼120) near-infrared (NIR) spectra in the SpeX Prism Library (SPL), one of the largest brown dwarf archives worldwide. We evaluated the performance of three machine-learning classifiers: Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Support Vector Machines (SVM). The KNN performs the best, achieving an accuracy of 88.49\% within ±1 SpT. We also investigated the impacts of two different normalization methods described by \citet{2006ApJ...637.1067B} and \citet{2018AJ....155...34C} on the classification process. This study demonstrates a promising approach to classifying low-temperature dwarfs, addressing the challenges of limited data, and highlighting the importance of various spectral regions in determining surface gravity and stellar age.

Determining the chemical composition of cool dwarf stars
Creators: name: Heiter, Ulrike
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Recent developments for determining the chemical composition of cool dwarf stars are reviewed, focusing on the determination of abundances of individual elements for M dwarfs from high-resolution near-infrared spectra. Abundances based on different spectral regions (Y/J- vs H-band) are found to agree within uncertainties. Binaries consisting of an M dwarf and an F/G/K dwarf are being used to verify the abundance determinations. Several caveats are pointed out, which need to be taken into account or which need further development.
