Vulnerability reduction in post-conflict areas through the Resource Nexus approach (Water–Soil-Food-Atmosphere) to sustainable food production systems: a case study in Colombia
Authors: Caucci Serena , Guzman-Molina Jairo , Al-Qubati Abdulhakeem , Schellens Marie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The prolonged armed conflict in Colombia, spanning over the last five decades, has significantly impacted its agricultural areas and led to the widespread displacement and disruption of farming activities. The agricultural sector is crucial for Colombia as it contributes to food security, the economy, and the Nation’s employment rate. However, the agricultural sector is challenged by the environment and its natural resources, especially water in water abstraction and soil in terms of degradation and land cover change. Additionally, climate change exacerbates these challenges by altering precipitation patterns, increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, and further stressing water and soil resources, making sustainable management even more critical. The Resource Nexus approach comes into play to cope with and mitigate such challenges. Combined with social equity to advance the sustainability of agriculture, the Nexus approach demonstrates pathways towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 (Zero Hunger)in synergies with other SDGs, like SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land). This paper addresses the dual challenge of improving natural resources management and population vulnerability reduction in the frame of environmental conflicts and population inequalities that severely affect the resilience of food systems. In line with principles of inclusion and gender equity, the methodology developed here aims to identify Colombia's productive regions that would benefit from enhanced management at the landscape level, the Resource Nexus approach. With the use of geographic information systems (GIS), this research spatially evaluates the (i) impact of land-use changes and the land-use fragmentation due to resource overuse, (ii) the provision of ecosystem services under different uses of natural resources and suggests ecosystem services planning as a methodology for municipal ecosystem-based management, (iii) climate change and the anthropogenic impacts on agricultural productivity in Colombia at the municipality scale. The results indicate significant environmental changes over the past few decades, including reduced natural forests and increased agricultural land. This shift has coincided with a decrease in freshwater availability. Additionally, there is a concerning trend of agricultural expansion into protected areas, highlighting the ongoing pressures on natural resources and the need for sustainable management practices. This study underscores the value of the science-policy interface to ensure increased social equity, economic growth, and resource conservation.

Published: January 2025

AbstractFifteen novel carbazole alkaloids, euchrestifolines A–O (1–15), were obtained from Murraya euchrestifolia. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, Mosher’s ester, calculated ECD, and transition metal complex ECD methods. Notably, euchrestifolines A–C (1–3) are the first naturally occurring pyrrolidone carbazoles to be identified, while euchrestifolines D–F (4–6) represent rare carbazole alkaloids containing a phenylpropanyl moiety; euchrestifoline G (7) features a unique benzopyranocarbazole skeleton. More importantly, these compounds exhibited significant anti-ferroptotic activity, along with inhibitory effects of nitric oxide (NO) production and notable cytotoxicity. This study marks the first disclosure of carbazole's inhibitory effects against ferroptosis, and the EC50 values of some carbazoles ranging from 0.04 to 1 μM, substantially lower than the positive control, ferrostatin-1. In sum, this research not only enhances our understanding of carbazole alkaloids but also opens new avenues for the discovery of ferroptosis-related leading compounds.

Enhancing austenite formation in directed energy deposition-arc fabrication of duplex stainless steel using nitrogen-bearing shielding gas
Authors: Tóth Tamás , Westin Elin M. , Köhler Markus , Dilger Klaus 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Directed energy deposition-arc (DED-arc) of duplex stainless steels faces challenges in achieving a balanced ferrite/austenite ratio in the as-deposited condition. Consequently, solution annealing is often necessary to optimize the microstructure and attain good mechanical and corrosion properties. This study explores an approach to improve the phase balance using AM 2205 wire and Ar + 2% N2 as shielding gas. Thin-walled structures comprising 10 layers were fabricated using a waveform-controlled gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process at two different travel speeds and arc power levels. Additionally, reference samples were produced with Ar + 2.5% CO2 to quantify the influence of shielding gas composition on austenite formation. Microstructural investigations revealed that samples produced with nitrogen-containing shielding gas had an average austenite fraction ranging from 39 to 46 vol.%, depending on the travel speed and arc power combination. This represents an average increase of 3–9 vol.% compared to traditional shielding gas.
In situ synthesis of three-dimensional core–shell structure Bi2WO6/BiOCl and photocatalytic degradation of trinitrotoluene wastewater
Authors: Zhou Xiyang , Zhang Sitong , Liu Wenhui , Liu Jiayi , Liu Terence X. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractBi2WO6/BiOCl nanocomposites with three-dimensional core–shell structure were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method. The compounds were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, HR-TEM, EDX, SAED, XPS, PL, UV–Vis DRS, photoelectrochemical, and photodegradation experiments. The result showed that the catalytic activity of Bi2WO6/BiOCl nanocomposites was significantly better than that of Bi2WO6 and BiOCl. The effect of the amount of Bi2WO6 on the properties of the composite was studied. The result showed that the Bi2WO6/BiOCl with three-dimensional core–shell structure had the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency for TNT, and the degradation rate reached 90% after 180 min of visible light irradiation. In the degradation process of TNT, the reaction rate of 4.5 Bi2WO6/BiOCl is the highest, which is 0.20057 min−1. After 4 cycles, the degradation rate of TNT by 4.5 Bi2WO6/BiOCl remained at 80%. The free radical trapping experiments showed that the holes and superoxide anions played a major role in the photocatalytic degradation of TNT wastewater by 4.5 Bi2WO6/BiOCl. Based on the results of free radical trapping experiment, Mott-Schottky test, and ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy, the reaction mechanism of enhancing photocatalytic activity was proposed.
Mechanisms for cell survival during abiotic stress: focusing on plasma membrane
Authors: Su Xiao , Yao Lijuan , Wang Xuechen , Zhang Yuan , Zhang Guifang , Li Xiaojuan 
Published: January 2025

AbstractPlants are continually challenged by abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, which can adversely affect their growth and development. The plasma membrane, acting as a pivotal interface between the cell and its environment, is particularly susceptible to such stresses. This review focuses on current understanding of how abiotic stresses affect plasma membrane integrity in plants. The review also explores the critical roles of plasma membrane proteins and lipids under stress conditions, highlighting signal transduction pathways that the plasma membrane initiates to mitigate abiotic stress. By consolidating these findings, this review provides a comprehensive overview that is pivotal for advancing the development of stress-tolerant plant varieties. The insights gained from this synthesis are expected to contribute significantly to the enhancement of plant resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to understand the current landscape of USA-based disaster medicine (DM) programs through the lens of alumni and program directors (PDs). The data obtained from this study will provide valuable information to future learners as they ponder careers in disaster medicine and allow PDs to refine curricular offerings.

Methods
Two separate surveys were sent to USA-based DM program directors and alumni. The surveys gathered information regarding current training characteristics, career trajectories, and the outlook of DM training.

Results
The study had a 57% response rate among PDs, and 42% response rate from alumni. Most programs are 1-year and accept 1-2 fellows per class. More than 60% of the programs offer additional advanced degrees. Half of the respondents accept international medical graduates (IMGs). Only 25% accept non-MD/DO/MBBs trained applicants. Most of the alumni hold academic and governmental positions post-training. Furthermore, many alumni report that fellowship training offered an advantage in the job market and allowed them to expand their clinical practice.

Conclusions
The field of disaster medicine is continuously evolving owing to the increased recognition of the important roles DM specialists play in healthcare. The fellowship training programs are experiencing a similar evolution with an increasing trend toward standardization. Furthermore, graduates from these programs see their training as a worthwhile investment in career opportunities.

Abstract
Recent advancements in Earth system science have been marked by the exponential increase in the availability of diverse, multivariate datasets characterised by moderate to high spatio-temporal resolutions. Earth System Data Cubes (ESDCs) have emerged as one suitable solution for transforming this flood of data into a simple yet robust data structure. ESDCs achieve this by organising data into an analysis-ready format aligned with a spatio-temporal grid, facilitating user-friendly analysis and diminishing the need for extensive technical data processing knowledge. Despite these significant benefits, the completion of the entire ESDC life cycle remains a challenging task. Obstacles are not only of a technical nature but also relate to domain-specific problems in Earth system research. There exist barriers to realising the full potential of data collections in light of novel cloud-based technologies, particularly in curating data tailored for specific application domains. These include transforming data to conform to a spatio-temporal grid with minimum distortions and managing complexities such as spatio-temporal autocorrelation issues. Addressing these challenges is pivotal for the effective application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches. Furthermore, adhering to open science principles for data dissemination, reproducibility, visualisation, and reuse is crucial for fostering sustainable research. Overcoming these challenges offers a substantial opportunity to advance data-driven Earth system research, unlocking the full potential of an integrated, multidimensional view of Earth system processes. This is particularly true when such research is coupled with innovative research paradigms and technological progress.
The challenge of land in a neural network ocean model

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Machine learning (ML) techniques have emerged as a powerful tool for predicting weather and climate systems. However, much of the progress to date focuses on predicting the short-term evolution of the atmosphere. Here, we look at the potential for ML methodology to predict the evolution of the ocean. The presence of land in the domain is a key difference between ocean modeling and previous work looking at atmospheric modeling. Here, we look to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to emulate a process-based General Circulation Model (GCM) of the ocean, in a configuration which contains land. We assess performance on predictions over the entire domain and near to the land (coastal points). Our results show that the CNN replicates the underlying GCM well when assessed over the entire domain. RMS errors over the test dataset are low in comparison to the signal being predicted, and the CNN model gives an order of magnitude improvement over a persistence forecast. When we partition the domain into near land and the ocean interior and assess performance over these two regions, we see that the model performs notably worse over the near land region. Near land, RMS scores are comparable to those from a simple persistence forecast. Our results indicate that ocean interaction with land is something the network struggles with and highlight that this is may be an area where advanced ML techniques specifically designed for, or adapted for, the geosciences could bring further benefits.
Expectations versus Reality: Sex Offender Registration in India and the United States
Authors: Sharma Deepankar , Kewaliya Vini 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe online registration of sex offenders and the maintenance of these databases is a subject of concern. Although it is imperative to track sex offenders and maintain their records as a measure to deter crime, this process can affect or even prevent the offenders' reformation and violate their right to privacy. Further, according to some, inclusion in these databases leads to a lifetime branding of offenders. India took the initiative in 2018 to reduce sex offender recidivism and now tracks offenders through a registry that is not open to the public. In contrast, in the United States, online sex offender registration databases have been available to the public for many years. The purpose of this paper is to compare the purposes and legal frameworks of sex offender registries in India and the United States, focusing on the impacts of these registries on the offenders and their potential for rehabilitation. Emphasis is placed on the United States, as its registration requirements have been in place substantially longer than in India. The author concludes that, although these offender registries are designed to serve as a mode of crime prevention, they are not necessarily yielding optimal results.
Crowdsourcing the assessment of wine quality: Vivino ratings, professional critics, and the weather
Authors: Kopsacheilis Orestis , Analytis Pantelis P. , Kaushik Karthikeya , Herzog Stefan M. , Bahrami Bahador , Deroy Ophelia 
Published: January 2025

AbstractCrowdsourcing platforms—such as Vivino—that aggregate the opinions of large numbers of amateur wine reviewers represent a new source of information on the wine market. We assess the validity of aggregated Vivino ratings based on two criteria: correlation with professional critics’ ratings and sensitivity to weather conditions affecting the quality of grapes. We construct a large, novel dataset consisting of Vivino ratings for a portfolio of red wines from Bordeaux, review scores from professional critics, and weather data from a local weather station. Vivino ratings correlate substantially with those of professional critics, but these correlations are smaller than those among professional critics. This difference can be partly attributed to differences in scope: Whereas amateurs focus on immediate pleasure, professionals gauge the wine’s potential once it has matured. Moreover, both crowdsourced and professional ratings respond to weather conditions in line with what viticulture literature has identified as ideal, but also hint to detrimental effects of global warming on wine quality. In sum, our results demonstrate that crowdsourced ratings are a valid source of information and can generate valuable insights for both consumers and producers.
Lucifer’s disordered love and the first-person perspective: an Augustinian account of primal sin
Authors: Seeman Bradley N. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Augustinian accounts of ‘primal sin’ face a dilemma: either ‘Lucifer’s’ fall is arbitrary, or it results from God creating a flawed creature. Augustine and others hold that an omnipotent God faces unavoidable limits in creating creatures. In particular, creatures cannot enjoy God’s own first-person awareness of God’s goods, but must experience them second-personally. The resulting qualitative phenomenological difference between (1) the first-person awareness Lucifer had of the goods of his own being, and (2) his second-person awareness of the goods of God means that self-regarding goods would ‘light up’ for Lucifer very differently than other-regarding goods. This opens a psychologically resonant and metaphysically potent account of how the pre-Fall Lucifer could have faced a genuine value conflict – a conflict for which God is not culpable – in which Lucifer might come to love the goods presented first-personally (his own) over the goods presented second-personally (God’s).
A terror management theory perspective on the appeal of historical myths
Authors: Pyszczynski Tom , Solomon Sheldon , Greenberg Jeff 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Historical myths are appealing primarily because they provide people with views of life and their role in it as significant and enduring. These worldviews help people manage death anxiety by enabling them to view themselves as part of something great that stretches far into the past and endures indefinitely into the future. We review empirical evidence supporting this analysis.
Collective selfhood as a psychically necessary illusion
Authors: Fonagy Peter , Campbell Chloe 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Drawing on developmental psychopathology and thinking about the we-mode of social cognition, we propose that historical myths – be they on the scale of the family, the nation, or an ethnic group – are an expression and function of our need to join with other minds. As such, historical myths are one cognitive technology used to facilitate social learning, the transmission of culture and the relational mentalizing that underpins social and emotional functioning.
Why some coalitions benefit from historical myths more than others
Authors: Snijder Luuk L. , De Dreu Carsten K.W. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Behavioural ecologies in themselves can create variation in fitness interdependencies among individuals, and hence modulate the functionality of invoking historical myths. We develop this possibility for the case where coalitions form to attack and exploit enemies, or to defend and protect against hostile out-groups. We propose that invoking historical myths are functional and observed especially when groups aggressively expand.
Past glories feel good but creative minorities push us forward
Authors: Kaufman James C. , Kashdan Todd B. , McKnight Patrick E. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Historical narratives can satisfy basic individual psychological needs. However, an over-reliance on a group's past can marginalize those who think differently – thus, homogenizing the culture and stifling creativity. By revising narratives to balance the power of collective narratives with the richness of individuality, we foster groups that encourage varied identities.
Beyond our “ancient roots”: Toward a broader understanding of the motivational power of societal meta-narratives
Authors: Akers Laura 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The “historical myths” addressed in the target article are but one type of societal meta-narrative, a cognitive framework for understanding the story of one's group: Its origins, purpose, turning points, threats and opportunities, key relationships, and the appropriate affect for group members. Engagement with the broader literature on meta-narratives, including political and sacred myths, and on group entitativity is recommended.
Setting Limits for the Principle of Equal Entitlement to Continued Life
Authors: Moreno-Ternero Juan D. , Østerdal Lars Peter 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The normative principle that every individual is equally entitled to continued life is a subject of debate in ethics, health economics and policy. We reconsider this principle in the context of setting priorities for healthcare interventions. When applied without restriction, the principle overlooks quality of life concerns entirely. However, we contend that it remains ethically relevant in certain situations, particularly when patients suffer from conditions unrelated to the therapeutic areas and treatments under consideration. Thus, we defend the principle while also emphasizing the need for its application within tight limits.

Abstract

Objective:
The creation of a healthy food environment is highly dependent on the policies that governments choose to implement. The objective of this study is to compare the level of implementation of current public policies aimed at creating healthy food environments in Burkina Faso with international good practice indicators.

Design:
This evaluation was carried out using the Food-EPI tool. The tool has two components (policy and infrastructure support), thirteen domains and fifty-six good practice indicators adapted to the Burkina Faso context.

Setting:
Burkina Faso.

Participants:
Expert evaluators divided into two groups: the group of independent experts from universities, NGO and civil society and the group of experts from various government sectors.

Results:
Among the fifty-six indicators, it was assessed the level of implementation as ‘high’ for six indicators, ‘medium’ for twenty-four indicators, ‘low’ for twenty-two indicators and ‘very low’ for four indicators. High implementation level indicators include strong and visible political support, targets on exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding, strong and visible political support for actions to combat all forms of malnutrition, monitoring of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding indicators, monitoring of promotion and growth surveillance programmes and coordination mechanism (national, state and local government). The indicators on menu labelling, reducing taxes on healthy foods, increasing taxes on unhealthy foods and dietary guidelines are the indicators with a ‘very low’ level of implementation in Burkina Faso.

Conclusions:
The general results showed that there is a clear need for further improvements in policy and infrastructure support to promote healthy food environments.
