Abstract

The central aim of the article is company governance, i.e., researching governance of a company that does not want to be only financially successful but also direct its governance toward socially responsible governance. The article begins with the definition of “theoretical backgrounds,” in which social responsibility in regard to company governance improvement in quality is explained. The article then focuses on the measurement of the quality of company governance; in the research, the selected tool chosen to evaluate the governance of the chosen company regarding social responsibility, i.e., SEECGAN index, is used. Further, the case study of a Slovenian public limited liability company is used. One of the important research findings is the recognition that the addressed part of the SEECGAN index needs to be innovated and further developed. Additional questions for the completion of the index used presents the added value of the article. This article has two limitations: 1) it focuses only on the tool chosen to evaluate the governance of the chosen company regarding social responsibility; 2) the case study is based on publicly accessible data.

6. Identification with possibly invalid IVs

Subjects

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel identification strategy relying on quasi-instrumental variables (quasi-IVs). A quasi-IV is a relevant but possibly invalid IV because it is not exogenous or not excluded. We show that a variety of models with discrete or continuous endogenous treatment which are usually identified with an IV - quantile models with rank invariance, additive models with homogenous treatment effects, and local average treatment effect models - can be identified under the joint relevance of two complementary quasi-IVs instead. To achieve identification, we complement one excluded but possibly endogenous quasi-IV (e.g., "relevant proxies" such as lagged treatment choice) with one exogenous (conditional on the excluded quasi-IV) but possibly included quasi-IV (e.g., random assignment or exogenous market shocks). Our approach also holds if any of the two quasi-IVs turns out to be a valid IV. In practice, being able to address endogeneity with complementary quasi-IVs instead of IVs is convenient since there are many applications where quasi-IVs are more readily available. Difference-in-differences is a notable example: time is an exogenous quasi-IV while the group assignment acts as a complementary excluded quasi-IV.

Physics, QC1-999
Abstract

The Belle II experiment is an upgrade to the Belle experiment, and is located at the SuperKEKB facility in KEK, Tsukuba, Japan. The Belle II software is completely new and is used for everything from triggering data, generation of Monte Carlo events, tracking, clustering, to high-level analysis. One important feature is the matching between the combinations of reconstructed objects which form particle candidates and the underlying simulated particles from the event generators. This is used to study detector effects, analysis backgrounds, and efficiencies. This document describes the algorithm that is used by Belle II.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is becoming a public health issue with a 5-years survival rate around 10%. Patients with PDAC are often sarcopenic, which impacts postoperative outcome. At the same time, overweight population is increasing and adipose tissue promotes tumor related-inflammation. With several studies supporting independently these data, we aimed to assess if they held an impact on survival when combined. Methods We included 232 patients from two university hospitals (CHU de Lille, Institut Paoli Calmette), from January 2011 to December 2018, who underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for resectable PDAC. Preoperative CT scan was used to measure sarcopenia and visceral fat according to international cut-offs. Neutrophil to lymphocyte (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratios (PLR) were used to measure inflammation. For univariate and multivariate analyses, the Cox proportional-hazard model was used. P-values below 0.05 were considered significant. Results Sarcopenic patients with visceral obesity were less likely to survive than the others in multivariate analysis (OS, HR 1.65, p= 0.043). Cutaneous obesity did not influence survival. We also observed an influence on survival when we studied sarcopenia with visceral obesity (OS, p= 0.056; PFS, p = 0.014), sarcopenia with cutaneous obesity (PFS, p= 0.005) and sarcopenia with PLR (PFS, p= 0.043). This poor prognosis was also found in sarcopenic obese patients with high PLR (OS, p= 0.05; PFS, p= 0.01). Conclusion Sarcopenic obesity was associated with poor prognosis after PD for PDAC, especially in patients with systemic inflammation. Pre operative management of these factors should be addressed in pancreatic cancer patients.

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the degradation of HPMC on a laboratory scale by acoustic and hydrodynamic cavitation. The effects of temperature and the addition of an external oxidizing agent on the effectiveness of HPMC degradation were systematically investigated by SEC/MALS-RI, FTIR and 1H NMR. The results of the experiments without cavitation show that an external oxidizing agent alone reduces the weight-average molar mass at 60 °C in 30 min for 45.1 % (from 335 to 184 kg mol−1). However, the weight-average molar mass of HPMC decreased significantly more in the cavitation treatment, for 98.8 % (from 335 to 4 kg mol−1) in 30 min at optimal operating conditions of hydrodynamic cavitation (i.e. addition of external oxidant and 60 °C) with a concomitant narrowing of the molar mass distribution, as shown by the dispersity value, which decreased from 2.24 to 1.31. Compared to acoustic cavitation, hydrodynamic cavitation also proved to be more energy efficient. The FTIR spectra of the cavitated HPMC samples without the addition of H2O2 show negligible oxidation of the hydroxyl groups and the glycosidic bonds, confirming that mechanical effects predominate in HPMC degradation in these cases. In contrast, when H2O2 was added, FTIR and 1H NMR show typical signals for cellulose oxidation products, especially when the experiments were performed at 60 °C, confirming that chemical as well as mechanical effects are responsible for the extensive HPMC degradation in these cases. Since treatment methods that lead to lower molar masses and narrower molar mass distributions of the polymers are lacking or require longer treatment times (e.g. 24 h), mechanochemical treatment methods such as cavitation have great potential, as they enable faster polymer degradation (in our case 30 min) through a combination of mechanical and/or chemical degradation mechanisms.

21. Don't (fully) exclude me, it's not necessary! Identification with semi-IVs

Author

Subjects
Economics - Econometrics
Abstract

This paper proposes a novel tool to nonparametrically identify models with a discrete endogenous variable or treatment: semi-instrumental variables (semi-IVs). A semi-IV is a variable that is relevant but only partially excluded from the potential outcomes, i.e., excluded from at least one, but not necessarily all, potential outcome equations. It follows that standard instrumental variables (IVs), which are fully excluded from all the potential outcomes, are a special (extreme) case of semi-IVs. I show that full exclusion is stronger than necessary because the same objects that are usually identified with an IV (Imbens and Angrist, 1994; Heckman and Vytlacil, 2005; Chernozhukov and Hansen, 2005) can be identified with several semi-IVs instead, provided there is (at least) one semi-IV excluded from each potential outcome. For applied work, tackling endogeneity with semi-IVs instead of IVs should be an attractive alternative, since semi-IVs are easier to find: most selection-specific costs or benefits can be valid semi-IVs, for example. The paper also provides a simple semi-IV GMM estimator for models with homogenous treatment effects and uses it to estimate the returns to education.

Abstract

Abstract Previously, we reported successful cellular expansion of a murine colorectal carcinoma cell line (CT-26) using a three-dimensional (3D) engineered extracellular matrix (EECM) fibrillar scaffold structure. CCL-247 were grown over a limited time period of 8 days on 3D EECM or tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS). Cells were then assayed for growth, electroporation efficiency and Vigil manufacturing release criteria. Using EECM scaffolds, we report an expansion of CCL-247 (HCT116), a colorectal carcinoma cell line, from a starting concentration of 2.45 × 105 cells to 1.9 × 106 cells per scaffold. Following expansion, 3D EECM-derived cells were assessed based on clinical release criteria of the Vigil manufacturing process utilized for Phase IIb trial operation with the FDA. 3D EECM-derived cells passed all Vigil manufacturing release criteria including cytokine expression. Here, we demonstrate successful Vigil product manufacture achieving the specifications necessary for the clinical trial product release of Vigil treatment. Our results confirm that 3D EECM can be utilized for the expansion of human cancer cell CCL-247, justifying further clinical development involving human tissue sample manufacturing including core needle biopsy and minimal ascites samples.

Abstract

Climate change is expected to affect the frequency and magnitude of floods, which are among the costliest hazards in Europe. As natural hazards have a significant impact on infrastructure and people's lives and their habitats, novel measures to cope with climate change need to be considered. Different types of measures, such as green, grey and hybrid solutions, can be used to mitigate the impacts of natural hazards. Green measures (also referred to as nature-based solutions) are currently being promoted in the European Union, but several barriers to implementing these measures exist. The question arises as to what hinders the wider implementation of green measures and therefore results in a preference for conventional grey measures in some countries. This study examines the differences in the perceived effectiveness, feasibility and acceptance of different types of flood risk management measures in three European countries (Slovenia, Czechia, and the Netherlands). The results show statistically significant differences in the perceived effectiveness, feasibility and acceptance of the studied measures. With respect to individual measures, respondents in all three countries tend to view conventional grey measures (dams and cisterns) as more effective and acceptable than green and hybrid measures. However, grey measures are perceived as difficult to implement. The results reveal that the perceived effectiveness and acceptability of the measures are related. The major drivers affecting the differences in the perceptions of different measures are the countries of the respondents and the sociodemographic variables of income and age. In contrast to other studies, experiences with past floods and private insurance are not statistically significant. Our results thus indicate that, along with individual behaviour, aggregate social drivers should be considered when implementing flood risk management measures across the EU.

Abstract

The persistence and toxicity of hazardous pollutants present in wastewater effluents require the development of efficient and sustainable treatment methods to protect water resources. In this study, the efficacy and efficiency of a novel combination of two advanced oxidation processes – sub-atmospheric-pressure plasma and hydrodynamic cavitation – were systematically tested for the removal of valsartan (VAL), sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, naproxen, diclofenac (DF), tramadol, propyphenazone, carbamazepine, 17β-estradiol (E2) and bisphenol A (BPA). The results show that both sample temperature and plasma power play a role and the highest removal, from 29–99 %, was achieved at 25 ℃ and 53 W of plasma power. E2, BPA, DF, and VAL were removed to the highest degree. These results are particularly important in the case of E2 and BPA, whose harmful environmental effects may start to occur already at sub-ng/L to µg/L levels. The differences in the removals obtained depend strongly on the physicochemical properties, and the compounds with the highest logKOW were removed to the highest extent. The energy yield, in terms of plasma power, was between 1 and 26 mg/kWh under optimal experimental conditions. Our results show that the novel plasma-cavitation treatment shows potential that could prove valuable for upcoming regulatory requirements.

Abstract

Background: Blood culture-negative endocarditis (BCNE) is a diagnostic challenge, therefore our objective was to pinpoint high-risk cohorts for BCNE. Methods: The study included adult patients with definite endocarditis. Data were collected via the Infectious Diseases International Research Initiative (ID-IRI). The study analysing one of the largest case series ever reported was conducted across 41 centers in 13 countries. We analysed the database to determine the predictors of BCNE using univariate and logistic regression analyses. Results: Blood cultures were negative in 101 (11.65 %) of 867 patients. We disclosed that as patients age, the likelihood of a negative blood culture significantly decreases (OR 0.975, 95 % CI 0.963–0.987, p

Abstract

Slightly acidic (pH 5.1) waste sludge with 4.7 % Total Solids (TS) was treated on a laboratory scale pined disc rotary generator of hydrodynamic cavitation (PD RGHC). Influence of four rotor discs with different number of cavitation generation units (CGUs) was investigated: 8-pins, 12-pins, 16-pins and 8-prism elements. The effect of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) was investigated by analyzing rheological properties, surface tension, dewaterability, and particle size distribution. After subjecting the sludge to 30 cavitation passes, the dewatering ability of the sludge significantly decreased, resulting in a more than two-fold increase in Capillary Suction Time (CST). All regimes were successful in disintegrating particles to smaller sizes. A slight increase of sludge surface tension was measured post cavitation. Cavitated samples displayed a zero-shear viscosity, in contrast to the untreated sample, where viscosity noticeably increased as shear stress decreased. HC did not improve methane yield. Statistically significant correlations between physio-chemical properties and apparent viscosity at low shear stress were identified. Although there were no discernible statistical differences in sludge characteristics, some trends are visible among investigated CGU designs and warrant further research.

Abstract

We present the novel implementation of a non-differentiable metric approximation and a corresponding loss-scheduling aimed at the search for new particles of unknown mass in high energy physics experiments. We call the loss-scheduling, based on the minimisation of a figure-of-merit related function typical of particle physics, a Punzi-loss function, and the neural network that utilises this loss function a Punzi-net. We show that the Punzi-net outperforms standard multivariate analysis techniques and generalises well to mass hypotheses for which it was not trained. This is achieved by training a single classifier that provides a coherent and optimal classification of all signal hypotheses over the whole search space. Our result constitutes a complementary approach to fully differentiable analyses in particle physics. We implemented this work using PyTorch and provide users full access to a public repository containing all the codes and a training example., Comment: submitted to EPJC

Abstract

We report on new flavor tagging algorithms developed to determine the quark-flavor content of bottom ($B$) mesons at Belle II. The algorithms provide essential inputs for measurements of quark-flavor mixing and charge-parity violation. We validate and evaluate the performance of the algorithms using hadronic $B$ decays with flavor-specific final states reconstructed in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $62.8$ fb$^{-1}$, collected at the $\Upsilon$(4$S$) resonance with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider. We measure the total effective tagging efficiency to be $\varepsilon_{\rm eff} = \big(30.0 \pm 1.2(\text{stat}) \pm 0.4(\text{syst})\big)\%$ for a category-based algorithm and $\varepsilon_{\rm eff} = \big(28.8 \pm 1.2(\text{stat}) \pm 0.4(\text{syst})\big)\%$ for a deep-learning-based algorithm.

Abstract

We report on the first Belle II measurement of the branching fraction ($\mathcal{B}$) and longitudinal polarization fraction ($f_L$) of $B^+\to \rho^+\rho^0$ decays. We reconstruct $B^+\to \rho^+(\to \pi^+\pi^0(\to \gamma\gamma))\rho^0(\to \pi^+\pi^-)$ decays in a sample of SuperKEKB electron-positron collisions collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019 and 2020 at the $\Upsilon$(4S) resonance and corresponding to $62.8$ fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We fit the distributions of the difference between expected and observed $B$ candidate energy, continuum-suppression variable, dipion masses, and angular distributions of the resulting samples, to determine a signal yield of $104\pm16$ events. The signal yields are corrected for efficiencies determined from simulation and control data samples to obtain $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to \rho^+\rho^0) = [20.6 \pm 3.2(\rm stat) \pm 4.0(\rm syst)]\times 10^{-6}$, and $f_L(B^+ \to \rho^+\rho^0) = 0.936 ^{+0.049}_{-0.041}(\rm stat)\pm 0.021(\rm syst)$. This first Belle II $B^+ \to \rho^+\rho^0$ angular analysis yields results compatible with previous determinations, and indicates Belle II performance superior to early Belle results.

Abstract

We report on measurements of branching fractions ($\mathcal{B}$) and CP-violating charge asymmetries ($\mathcal{A}_{\rm CP}$) of multibody charmless $B$ decays reconstructed by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider. We use a sample of collisions collected in 2019 and 2020 at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance and corresponding to $62.8$ fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We use simulation to determine optimized event selections. The $\Delta E$ and $M_{\rm bc}$ distributions of the resulting samples are fit to determine signal yields of approximately 690, 840, and 380 decays for the channels $B^+ \to K^+K^-K^+$, $B^+ \to K^+\pi^-\pi^+$, and $B^0 \to K^+\pi^-\pi^0$, respectively. These yields are corrected for efficiencies determined from simulation and control data samples to obtain $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to K^+K^-K^+) = [35.8 \pm 1.6(\rm stat) \pm 1.4 (\rm syst)]\times 10^{-6}$, $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to K^+\pi^-\pi^+) = [67.0 \pm 3.3 (\rm stat)\pm 2.3 (\rm syst)]\times 10^{-6}$, $\mathcal{B}(B^0 \to K^+\pi^-\pi^0) = [38.1 \pm 3.5 (\rm stat)\pm 3.9 (\rm syst)]\times 10^{-6}$, $\mathcal{A}_{\rm CP}(B^+ \to K^+K^-K^+) = -0.103 \pm 0.042(\rm stat) \pm 0.020 (\rm syst)$, $\mathcal{A}_{\rm CP}(B^+ \to K^+\pi^-\pi^+) = -0.010 \pm 0.050 (\rm stat)\pm 0.021(\rm syst)$, and $\mathcal{A}_{\rm CP}(B^0 \to K^+\pi^-\pi^0) = 0.207 \pm 0.088 (\rm stat)\pm 0.011(\rm syst)$. Results are consistent with previous measurements and demonstrate detector performance comparable with the best Belle results.

Abstract

We report results from a study of hadronic transitions of the $\chi_{bJ}(nP)$ states of bottomonium at Belle. The $P$-wave states are reconstructed in transitions to the $\Upsilon(1S)$ with the emission of an $\omega$ meson. The transitions of the $n=2$ triplet states provide a unique laboratory in which to study nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics, as the kinematic threshold for production of an $\omega$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ lies between the $J=0$ and $J=1$ states. A search for the $\chi_{bJ}(3P)$ states is also reported.

Abstract

We report the first reconstruction of the $B^{0} \to \pi^{0} \pi^{0}$ decay mode at Belle II using samples of 2019 and 2020 data that correspond to 62.8 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We find $14.0^{+6.8}_{-5.6}$ signal decays, corresponding to a significance of 3.4 standard deviations and determine a branching ratio of $\mathcal{B}(B^{0} \rightarrow \pi^{0} \pi^{0}) = [0.98^{+0.48}_{-0.39} \pm 0.27] \times 10^{-6}$. The results agree with previous determinations and contribute important information to an early assessment of detector performance and Belle II's potential for future determinations of $\alpha/\phi_2$ using $B \rightarrow \pi \pi$ modes., Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures.
