Effects of Technology Support for Groups

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In the context of a case study this paper explains some of the powerful impacts of technology support on teamwork which result in subtle changes in teams which appear over time. In consequence it is argued that the effects of computer support on teamwork are not easy to capture without looking at the object of study for a longer period of time and looking at the organisational context becomes relevant. In detail the study explores, whether computer support provides benefits to the launching of projects and, if so, what these benefits are. The basis of analyses is a case study of teamwork in a project which aims to introduce of standard software into a larger company. Therefore, this study tries to answer the following question: What is the contribution of computer support to the success of meetings in the early phases of a project (kick-off phase)?. Results show that in the short term an increase in efficiency is the main improvement arising from technology support. In the long run, technology enabled the project team to avoid negative effects of group dynamics since team members were enabled to reflect on their own development as a group.
Impact of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors Use on Outcomes After Lower Extremity Endovascular Interventions From Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2006–2011)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Key Points Anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications are necessary in peripheral endovascular intervention, but a standardized approach has not yet been established. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor use in endovascular lower extremity interventions decreased overall amputation rates. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor use in endovascular lower extremity interventions increased postprocedural bleeding and complications requiring intervention.
Baclofen shows efficacy in alcohol use disorder, mainly at higher dose

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A 16‐week randomized trial has found that the GABA agonist baclofen was more effective than placebo in increasing abstinence from alcohol use and in reducing heavy drinking days. The improvements with baclofen were driven largely by a 90‐mg daily dose, the higher of two doses studied in the trial.
Towards Kernel Density Estimation over Streaming Data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A variety of real-world applications heavily relies on the analysis of transient data streams. Due to the rigid processing requirements of data streams, common analysis techniques as known from data mining are not applicable. A fundamental building block of many data mining and analysis approaches is density estimation. It provides a well-defined estimation of a continuous data distribution, a fact which makes its adaptation to data streams desirable. A convenient method for density estimation utilizes kernels. However, its computational complexity collides with the processing requirements of data streams. In this work, we present a new approach to this problem that combines linear processing cost with a constant amount of allocated memory. We even support a dynamic memory adaptation to changing system resources. Our kernel density estimators over streaming data are related to M-Kernels, a previously proposed technique, but substantially improve them in terms of accuracy as well as processing time. The results of an experimental study with synthetic and real-world data streams substantiate the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach as well as its superiority to M-Kernels with respect to estimation quality and processing time. 1
Search for the Higgs boson decay to a pair of electrons in proton-proton collisions at $\\sqrt{s}=13~\\mathrm{TeV}$

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A search is presented for the Higgs boson decay to a pair of electrons in proton-proton collisions at $\\sqrt{s}=13~\\mathrm{TeV}$. The data set was collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC between 2016 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $138~\\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The analysis uses event categories targeting Higgs boson production via gluon-fusion and vector boson fusion. An upper limit on the Higgs boson branching fraction to an electron pair is determined as $3.0\\times10^{-4}$ ($3.0\\times10^{-4}$ expected) at the $95\\%$ confidence level. This is the most stringent limit on the Higgs boson branching fraction to a pair of electrons to date.
Spinal analgesia for instrumental delivery

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary One hundred and eighty‐three patients undergoing instrumental delivery were randomly divided into two groups, one of which received low spinal anaesthesia and the other pudendal nerve block for delivery. Both were administered by the operator. No patient who received spinal anaesthesia experienced pain. 62% of patients who had a rotational delivery under pudendal nerve block experienced severe pain; 15% had pain during direct delivery. Hypotension was not observed. The incidence of postnatal complications was similar in each group. Low spinal anaesthesia in the hands of the operator provided superior anaesthesia with no increase in complications.
Probabilistic nodule filtering in thoracic CT scans

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Automated detection of lung nodules in thoracic CT scans is an important clinical challenge. Blood vessels form a major source of false positives in automated nodule detection systems. Hence, the performance of such systems may be improved by enhancing nodules while suppressing blood vessels. Ideally, nodule enhancement filters should enhance nodules while suppressing vessels and lung tissue. A distinction between vessels and nodules is normally obtained through eigenvalue analysis of the Hessian matrix. The Hessian matrix is a second order differential quantity and so is sensitive to noise. Furthermore, by relying on principal curvatures alone, existing filters are incapable of distinguishing between nodules and vessel junctions, and are incapable of handling cases in which nodules touch vessels. In this paper we develop novel nodule enhancement filters that are capable of suppressing junctions and are capable of handling cases in which nodules appear to touch or even overlap with vessels. The proposed filters are based on optimized probabilistic models derived from eigenvalue analysis of the gradient correlation matrix which is a first order differential quantity and so are less sensitive to noise compared with known vessel enhancement filters. The proposed filters are evaluated and compared to known techniques both qualitatively, quantitatively. The evaluation includes both synthetic and actual clinical data.

Pollination strategies of deceptive orchids – a review

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Orchids can be classified in terms of their pollination into rewarding species, which produce nectar in their flowers that serves as a reward for pollinators and deceptive species, whose flowers do not contain nectar and save energy for other purposes. This paper concentrates on the latter. Deceptive orchids attempt to deceive their pollinators by being similar to some non-orchid rewarding species, but not providing a reward. Each of these strategies has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of their effect on future fitness of a plant and/or population and subsequently its survival as a species. In summary, the literature indicates that deceptive strategies may lower reproductive success, but may be compensated for in that they cost less in terms of energy. This should be taken into consideration when developing management strategies for these species, which is often done by non-orchid specialists. This article is intended for such non-specialist audience and includes a description of the main types of deceptive strategies used by orchids, as well as examples of the most typical species.
Sex Differences in Adolescents' Relations with Grandparents.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

THIS QUESTIONNAIRE STUDY OF 405 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF INTERACTIONS WITH GRANDPARENTS FOUND THAT FEMALE GRANDCHILDREN WERE MORE LIKELY THAN MALE GRANDCHILDREN TO HAVE LEARNED A SPECIFIC SKILL FROM GRANDPARENTS, BUT THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE GRANDCHILDREN ON SIX OTHER TYPES OF INTERACTION. CONTRARY TO EXPECTATIONS, FEMALE ADOLESCENTS WERE NO MORE LIKELY THAN MALE ADOLESCENTS TO REPORT BEING ENCOURAGED BY PARENTS TO VISIT OR TALK TO GRANDPARENTS. ADOLESCENTS OF BOTH SEXES REPORTED THAT THE MAJORITY OF SKILLS LEARNED FROM GRANDPARENTS HAD BEEN TAUGHT BY A SAME-SEXED GRANDPARENT, AND SEX OF GRANDPARENTS WAS A STRONGER PEDICTOR OF SKILL TRANSMISSION THAN WAS MATERNAL OR PATERNAL LINEAGE. THE SPECIFIC TYPES OF SKILLS LEARNED FROM GRANDPARENTS WERE LARGELY IN CONFORMITY WITH CURRENT SEX-ROLE STEREOTYPES. THE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT MODELS OF EXTENDED-FAMILY RELATIONS. SEX DIFFERENCES IN ADOLESCENTS' RELATIONS WITH GRANDPARENTS As noted in several recent reviews and research papers, sex roles and sex differences in grandparent-grandchild relationships have begun to attract the attention of researchers in the field of extended family relations (Hagestad & Speicher, 1981; Thomas & Datan, 1983; Troll, 1983). Early speculation on this subject from the perspective of grandparents suggested that the grandparent role is really an expressive, nurturant, role (Boyd, 1969; Smith, 1965). Thus if men are to be involved in the lives of grandchildren, it was contended that men must become maternal or feminine in orientation, at best difficult task. This view received anecdotal support from one young grandchild who described grandfather as a man grandmother (Huyck, 1974). Atchley (1980), adding the gender of the grandchild as variable in the relationship, suggests that the grandmothergranddaughter relationship is likely to be the strongest: Grandmothers appear to have somewhat better chance of developing relationship with their granddaughters than grandfathers have in developing one with their grandsons...It is simply matter of the grandmothers' having more to offer their granddaughters that is pertinent to the lives they will lead. Sewing, cooking, and childbearing are but few of the subjects that granddaughters want to learn about. In contrast, the grandfathers very often find their skills unwanted, not only by industry but by their grandsons as well (p. 353). It has also been suggested that because women tend to be the kin keepers and primary mediatori in the family, the strongest bond is likely to develop between granddaughter and
EMERGENCE OF EUCALYPTUS REGNANS SEEDLINGS FROM BURIED SEED

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY Seed of Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell. was sown at various depths in crumby and in highly compacted soils. The numbers of seedlings which emerged per cent of sound seeds sown in crumby soil were: on the surface—16%; at 1/4 inch depth—51%; at 1/2 inch—18%; at 1 inch—2%; and at 2 and 4 inches—0%. Emergence through compacted soil was 1% from 1/4 inch and 0% from greater depths. Most of the buried seeds which failed to germinate died within 14 months. There was no evidence of seedlings having germinated and died before emerging. In the laboratory 70–80% of hypocotyls arising from seeds incubated in the dark at 65°F for 4–6 weeks grew a little over 1 inch tall. A few of the larger seeds produced seedlings a little over 2 in. tall.
Arginase activity and nitrogen content in epidermal carcinogenesis in mice.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

1. Determinations were made of arginase activity, total nitrogen, trichloroacetic acid soluble nitrogen, urea, and preformed ammonia in mouse epidermis treated with pure benzene or benzene containing croton oil or methylcholanthrene, and in transplantable squamous cell carcinomata originally derived from the skin of mice painted with methylcholanthrene solution.

2. All of the tissues studied showed a marked increase in arginase activity upon heating at 50°C. for 5 hours in 0.05 M MnCl2.

3. The arginase activity, total nitrogen, and the wet weight of the epidermis per mouse all increased to a maximum after 3 paintings with benzene containing methylcholanthrene and decreased after subsequent applications of the carcinogen. The maximal mean value for arginase activity was 3 times that found in the untreated epidermis. The percentage of the total nitrogen found in the TCA-soluble fraction was lowest after 3 paintings.

4. In Tumors I and II the mean arginase activities were approximately 6 and 18 times, respectively, that of the normal epidermis on a wet weight basis and 11 and 33 times on a total nitrogen basis. The percentage of the total nitrogen found in the TCA-soluble fraction of the tumor samples studied was lower than in any of the samples of epidermis.

5. Six and 11 paintings of benzene alone produced a two fold increase in arginase activity, a decrease in total nitrogen content, and an increase in TCA-soluble nitrogen.

6. Three applications of methylcholanthrene in benzene caused a decrease in epidermal urea in adult mice to approximately 55 per cent of the normal value. No further decrease took place in tissues receiving 6 and 24 paintings of the carcinogen. No significant changes from normal were noted in the ammonia content of these tissues.

7. The level of urea decreased further in tumors to a value approximately one-third of that found in normal epidermis and the ammonia decreased to approximately the same extent.

8. The results were discussed with special reference to previous studies made on similarly prepared material.
Champ de force de valence et modes normaux de vibration de la glycylglycine et du monochlorhydrate monohydrate de glycylglycine

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The valence force field and normal modes of vibration of α-glycylglycine have been calculated using the vibrational spectra of ten isotopic derivatives, selectively labeled with deuterium or nitrogen-15. It is shown that this force field permits the determination of the frequencies of glycylglycine-hydrochloride in the solid state, despite a structure very different from that of the zwitterion. The agreement is particularly satisfying for those modes of vibration most sensitive to molecular conformation. It is thus possible to use this type of calculation to determine the conformation of an oligopeptide.
The Canadian VirusSeq Data Portal & Duotang: open resources for SARS-CoV-2 viral sequences and genomic epidemiology

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a large global effort to sequence SARS-CoV-2 genomes from patient samples to track viral evolution and inform public health response. Millions of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences have been deposited in global public repositories. The Canadian COVID-19 Genomics Network (CanCOGeN - VirusSeq), a consortium tasked with coordinating expanded sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 genomes across Canada early in the pandemic, created the Canadian VirusSeq Data Portal, with associated data pipelines and procedures, to support these efforts. The goal of VirusSeq was to allow open access to Canadian SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and enhanced, standardized contextual data that were unavailable in other repositories and that meet FAIR standards (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). The Portal data submission pipeline contains data quality checking procedures and appropriate acknowledgement of data generators that encourages collaboration. Here we also highlight Duotang, a web platform that presents genomic epidemiology and modeling analyses on circulating and emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants in Canada. Duotang presents dynamic changes in variant composition of SARS-CoV-2 in Canada and by province, estimates variant growth, and displays complementary interactive visualizations, with a text overview of the current situation. The VirusSeq Data Portal and Duotang resources, alongside additional analyses and resources computed from the Portal (COVID-MVP, CoVizu), are all open-source and freely available. Together, they provide an updated picture of SARS-CoV-2 evolution to spur scientific discussions, inform public discourse, and support communication with and within public health authorities. They also serve as a framework for other jurisdictions interested in open, collaborative sequence data sharing and analyses.
The multiple faces of front line managers

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present exploratory research on the potential variation of front line manager (FLM) types and attendant causal links between FLM style and employee outcomes. It challenges the value of a homogenous FLM construct and tests for variation in FLM styles which may affect behaviours and employee outcomes. Design/methodology/approach – A set of discreet FLM types is defined from extant theory and literature (named here as Policy Enactor; Organizational Leader; and Employee Coach). Each type and its relationship to employee outcomes is explored empirically using survey data and qualitative interviews with a small sample of employees ( n =46 employees across eight FLM groups) within a multi-national manufacturing plant. Findings – The findings provide preliminary support for an FLM “type” construct. Employees reported a significant dominance of the “Organizational Leader” type for one FLM, while across a broader set of FLM’s the proportions showed measurable variation. The qualitative data provides context examples that help explain FLM typologies and link to employee outcomes. Originality/value – Much of current literature explores the FLM construct as a singular construct, relying on its contextual relevance for definition within a certain discipline. This paper focuses on combining these contextual experiences to present a multi-faceted construct for the role of FLMs within the employment relations literatures. By moving from the implicit to the explicit, the paper offers a conceptual lens for quantitative and qualitative exploration of the role of FLM types. As a result, attendant and subsequent FLM and employee behaviours may be better examined and possibly better specified. To add value to this contribution longitudinal and more extensive data sets could be examined and tested in the future.

La Mer Floridienne Rreprésentée et Réinventée dans Naufragios de Cabeza de Vaca et dans El largo atardecer del Caminante d’Abel Posse

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The representation of the maritime space in Naufragios by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca is unique in its genre because it deviates from the collective mindset of the 16th century and positions its author among the anti-conquistadors who do not sing the glory and successes of the conquest but rather its failure. Similarly, contemporary literature makes this representation a leitmotif of writing. In El largo atardecer del caminante, Abel Posse, through rewriting, amplifies the violent nature of the maritime space by identifying it with the Christian hell.
[Dilemma: to test or not to test for Lyme borreliosis in general practice].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

There is no such thing as a perfect diagnostic test and the value of a test depends on the situation in which the test is being used. Here, we discuss two options for dealing with the diagnostic process for Lyme borreliosis in general practice. One option is to manage, treat or refer according to clinical signs and symptoms, in accordance with Dutch practice guidelines. The other option is to use laboratory tests to guide further patient management (treatment or referral). The choice depends on currently unknown factors, such as the pre-test probability of Lyme disease in patients presenting to general practitioners. Furthermore, clarity is required about how to proceed after a positive or negative test result. The consequences of a false test result will depend on the patient's status, possible alternative diagnoses and treatment options. Both physician and patient should be aware of the shortcomings of diagnostic tests.
