Cola subgenus Distichae subg. nov. (Malvaceae-Sterculiaceae) of tropical Africa, a synoptic taxonomic revision with five new species
Authors: Cheek Martin 
Published: November 2024

SummaryA new subgenus, Cola subg. Distichae, is erected for 14 simple-leaved species sharing unique characters within the genus which are presumed synapomorphies: distichous phyllotaxy; petioles lacking pulvini; petioles of uniformly short length, <10 mm long; male flowers with short androphores <1 (– 2) mm long; stamens 4 – 5; stem indumentum, where present, dominated by short simple translucent hairs (except in C. philipi-jonesii where stellate); and, in many species, dark purple to black stems with contrasting bright white lenticels. All species have fruit with small, globose, unsculptured, orange mericarps c. 1 cm diam. (where fruits are known). The species of this subgenus range from SE Nigeria in the west to coastal Kenya and Tanzania in the east and Malawi in the south, but are absent from the Congo Basin. Species diversity is highest in the Cross-Sanaga and Eastern Arc-Coastal Forest biogeographic areas, consistent with these taxa being Pleistocene refuge species. The species are mainly monoecious, but dioecy cannot yet be ruled out in some. In two species, where sufficient material was available for investigation (C. chlorantha, C. roy sp. nov.), the simple cymes were found to be bisexual, the terminal flower female and the two lateral flowers often male: a pattern previously unreported in the genus. All species are understorey shrubs or small trees of evergreen lowland or submontane forest, except C. uloloma of coastal semi-deciduous forest in E Africa, which is unique in showing xerophilic characteristics. The species can be divided into two groups. A: five species mainly in E Africa, with rapidly glabrescent or glabrous stems, conspicuously asymmetric leaves, and, where known, few-flowered, pedunculate cymes (C. uloloma, C. chlorantha, C. roy sp. nov., C. ‘udzungwa’, C. asymmetrica sp. nov.); group B: nine species in Lower Guinea (Atlantic coast of Africa), with hairy stems, symmetric or inconspicuously asymmetric leaves and, where known, sessile, fasciculate inflorescences (C. mayimbensis, C. philipi-jonesii, C. metallica, C. moussavoui, C. stigmatosa, C. takamanda sp. nov., C. toyota sp. nov., C. ‘Campo-Ma’an’, C. zanaga sp. nov.). Of the seven new species to science described here, two are named informally, since the material is so incomplete (sterile) and five are formally named here. Species diversity is highest in Cameroon and Tanzania, each with four species, followed by Gabon with three species. It is expected that additional new species will be found in poorly-surveyed, surviving, evergreen forest habitat in each of these three countries. Conservation assessments are given for each species using the IUCN 2012 standard. All species but one are considered threatened, with ten Critically Endangered (the highest category of threat), each of which is known from a single location with their forest habitat threatened, mainly by clearance for agriculture.
Scientific, Educational and Geotourism Value of the Ballota Beach that Recorded the Old and Most Recent Geological Histories of the North-Northwest Part of the Iberian Peninsula

Published: November 2024

AbstractOne of the enclaves that exhibits the best features to understand the old and most recent geological history of the north-northwest portion of the Iberian Peninsula is the Ballota Beach, located in Asturias, Spain. In the cliff above sea level that borders this beach to the south, a succession of Carboniferous “griotte” limestones crops out, deformed by spectacular ramp and detachment folds, as well as thrusts, backthrusts and duplexes. These structures are testimonies of the shortening produced in the cordillera originated during the Variscan orogeny of Devonian-Permian age, which extended throughout central Europe, northern Africa and eastern North America. Additionally, from a viewpoint located on the cliff, one can recognize a flat surface over the carbonate coastal cliffs and higher flat surfaces developed on quartzites. These flat surfaces, known as “rasas”, are marine abrasion surfaces elevated above current sea level resulting from Cenozoic-Quaternary land uplift and/or sea level fall. This region, already mentioned in the XIX century, has an extraordinary scientific and educational value, from the Structural Geology, Geomorphology, Historical Geology and Stratigraphy points of view, and is a great geotourism attraction due to its beauty. To make this region known, we propose to declare this area a geological interest site in the Global Geosites Spain project, make this article open access, upload a virtual outcrop model we have built in open-access online repositories, make information available to public entities that promote outreach and tourism, propose the realization of a “Geolodía” (Geology day), and make a video to celebrate the Geodiversity International Day.
Die antiken Wurzeln der Fairness im modernen Sport
Authors: Pawlenka Claudia 
Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag untersucht die Frage, ob die Fairness im modernen Sport Wurzeln hat, die bis in die Antike zurückreichen. Die schon einige Jahre zurückliegende sportwissenschaftliche Diskussion um die antiken Wurzeln der Fairness spiegelt ein kontroverses Meinungsbild wider. Die Fairness als Inbegriff der Moral im Sport wird einerseits als ein Produkt des Englischen Sports im 19. Jahrhundert angesehen; etymologisch gesehen ist die Fairness in der Tat eine moderne Tugend und findet erstmals 1828 in der deutschen Sprache Erwähnung. Andererseits gilt die Fairness als ein Zentralbegriff des Olympismus und des olympischen Sports, dessen Wurzeln laut seinem Begründer, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, in den sportlichen Wettkämpfen der Antike liegen. Ausgehend vom derzeitigen Forschungsstand und der kontroversen Diskussion über die antiken Wurzeln der Fairness soll in diesem Aufsatz die These vertreten werden, dass die Fairness bzw. Moral im modernen Sport durchaus dem Begriff, wenngleich nicht dem Namen nach antike Wurzeln hat.
Adoption challenges of environmental monitoring practices: case study of temperature data loggers in selected Australian vegetable supply chains
Authors: Habib Moudassir , Lyons Ben , Renando Chad 
Published: November 2024

AbstractTemperature monitoring across cold chain practices is an integral component of fresh produce supply chains. Numerous temperature data loggers (TDLs) are available to reduce the significant amount of food loss and waste (FLW) (equivalent to around 50%) in vegetable supply chains; however, its widespread adoption remains a challenge for the actors along the chain. This study seeks to understand the adoption of TDLs within selected Australian vegetable supply chains to address the challenge of FLW. Three representative cases of vegetable supply chains were purposively selected, including growers, packers, transporters, distribution centres along with technology providers, and industry experts. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed utilising thematic analysis. The findings indicate that members of vegetable supply chains recognise temperature management as one of the key factors for preserving quality and extending shelf life of their produce; however, they are not proactively seeking to utilise TDLs in their supply chain operations. Resistance to adoption of TDLs is deeply rooted in product-based challenges such as cost and compatibility, and process-based challenges including information sharing and product mixing. Additionally, presence of an individual’s undesirable behavioural aspects such as status-quo bias and responsibility shirking as well as prevailing social norms within the industry influence the adoption of TDLs.
A conceptual framework of indicators for the suitability of forests for outdoor recreation
Authors: Lehto Carl , Sirén Anders , Hedblom Marcus , Fredman Peter 
Published: November 2024

AbstractForests’ ability to provide opportunities for recreation is an important ecosystem service. This has prompted attempts to create indicators to assess forests' suitability for recreation, although hitherto with limited success. This study introduces a novel framework for indicators of potential and realised recreational values of forests, with a primary focus on Sweden and Fennoscandia. We divided forest attributes into intrinsic qualities (i.e. the structure and composition of the forest), extrinsic qualities (i.e. the location of the forest in relation to other components of the landscape), and facilitation qualities (i.e. the presence of recreational infrastructure). Using Fennoscandia as a case study, we performed a literature review to find specific indicators of recreational values, as well as evaluate the current availability of spatial data suitable to map the forest qualities on a national scale. The most important intrinsic quality we identified was tree size/age, whereas for extrinsic quality it was proximity to water. Systematic monitoring of recreational use is essential to estimate realised recreational values. The conceptual framework proved to be a valuable tool for identifying potential indicators, and applying it in other regions is likely to yield useful outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose
To analyze the longitudinal epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of Gram-negative bloodstream infections (BSI) in Germany.

Methods
Post-hoc analysis of prospectively documented BSI due to Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii from six university hospitals between 2016 and 2020. In a subanalysis 1228 episodes of BSI (E. coli N = 914, Klebsiella spp. N = 314) were analyzed for clinical endpoints and risk factors.

Results
E. coli was the most prevalent cause of BSI, with 5412 cases, followed by Klebsiella spp. (2148 cases), P. aeruginosa (789 cases), Enterobacter spp. (696 cases), and A. baumannii (31 cases). BSI incidence rates were particularly high in haematology/oncology, with E. coli BSI reaching 13.9 per 1000 admissions. Most (58%) of the BSI episodes were community-acquired. A notable finding was the moderate increase of third-generation cephalosporin resistant Enterobacterales (3GCREB) for E. coli from 13.9% in 2016 to 14.4% in 2020 and a decrease for Klebsiella spp. from 16.5% in 2016 to 11.1% in 2020 corresponding to extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBL) phenotype. In our analysis, the 3GCREB phenotype was not associated with a higher risk of death or discharge with sequelae for E. coli and Klebsiella spp.

Conclusion
Our study provides longitudinal data on Gram-negative BSI in Germany on a clinical basis for the first time. These data underscores the critical need for ongoing surveillance and more pathogen-related clinical data.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background
Physical literacy (PL) can positively affect the health of children, adolescents, and adults, and is closely related to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

Objective
To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the relationship between overall physical literacy (PL) and CRF in children and adolescents.

Methods
Cross-sectional, cohort and experimental studies on the relationship between PL and CRF in children and adolescents were collected by searching the Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, EBSCOhost, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases. Based on the characteristics of the included literature, PL was divided into physical competence (PC), daily behavior (DB), knowledge and understanding (K&U), and motivation and confidence (M&C). R 4.3.6 was used to analyze the combined effect size of PL and the relationships of the four dimensions with CRF among children and adolescents.

Results
A total of 21 articles were included, 42.9% of which were published after 2020, involving a total of 43,352 children and adolescents from 23 countries or regions. The characteristics of the included studies showed that, except for the K&U of children and adolescents aged 13–18 years, the K&U of other age groups and the PL, PC, DB, M&C of all age groups were significantly positively correlated with CRF. Furthermore, the results of male and female samples in all included studies were the same. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that PL (COR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.58, 0.70), PC (COR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.69, 0.79), DB (COR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.40, 0.57), K&U (COR = 0.41, 95% CI 0.23, 0.56), and M&C (COR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.41, 0.49) were significantly positively correlated with CRF. Regarding DB, total physical activity (TPA) was positively correlated with CRF (COR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.40, 0.57). Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), vigorous physical activity (VPA) and high physical activity (HPA) were positively correlated with CRF (COR = 0.16, 95% CI 0.09, 0.22; COR = 0.33, 95% CI 0.22, 0.43; COR = 0.38, 95% CI 0.13, 0.58), but light physical activity (LPA) was negatively correlated with CRF (COR = − 0.20, 95% CI − 0.32, 0.06).

Conclusion
PL and CRF are positively correlated among children and adolescents, suggesting that the development of physical literacy has a wide range of effects on children and adolescents’ cardiopulmonary health and that these effects are not limited by PL and its various dimensions or sex. In addition, to exert the positive effect of daily activities on cardiopulmonary health, the intensity of physical activity should reach a moderate level or above.

Characterization and Optimization of a Locally Boron-Doped Diamond Tool for Self-sensing of Cutting Temperature
Authors: Liu Shiquan , An Liang , Li Hui , Fu Xiang , Ju Bing-Feng , Chen Yuan-Liu 
Published: November 2024

AbstractHigh-sensitivity and rapid-response measurements of micro zone cutting temperature are crucial for characterizing and optimizing machining states in the ultra-precision cutting process. This innovative method uses a locally boron-doped diamond (LBDD) tool itself as the sensor for in-process measurements of cutting temperature. However, the heterogeneity of boron doping and the resulting lattice distortions considerably affect the mechanical properties and temperature-sensing performances of the tool. In this work, optimized synthesis processes and structural designs for LBDD tools that function as self-sensing cutting temperature devices were proposed. Annealing treatments under high-pressure conditions were conducted to promote the diffusion and ionization of boron multimers in the boron-doped diamond zone, thereby enhancing the crystal quality and semiconductor electrical properties of the LBDD. Various LBDDs with thin-layer temperature-sensing structures of different doping concentrations and thicknesses were synthesized. The optimal components and structures were identified as the temperature-sensing cutting tool through comparative analyses of temperature measurement capabilities and semiconductor properties. The selected tool was employed for in-process cutting temperature measurement during single-point diamond turning of copper and carbon fiber. Results indicate that the LBDD tool can accurately monitor cutting temperature during steady cutting processes and identify the micromorphological features of the machined surfaces based on cutting temperature characteristics. These insights are pivotal for controlling cutting temperature and refining the ultra-precision cutting process.
A refreshing take on the inverted Dirichlet via a mode parameterization with some statistical illustrations

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The inverted Dirichlet (IDir) distribution is a popular choice for modeling multivariate data with positive support; however, its conventional parameterization can be challenging to interpret. In this paper, we propose a refreshing take on the IDir distribution through a convenient mode-based parameterization, resulting in the mode-reparameterized IDir (mIDir). This new parameterization aims to enhance the use of the IDir in various contexts. We provide relevant statistical illustrations in robust and nonparametric statistics, model-based clustering, and semiparametric density estimation, all benefiting from this novel perspective on the IDir for computation and implementation. First, we define finite mIDir mixtures for clustering and semiparametric density estimation. Secondly, we introduce a smoother based on mIDir kernels, which, by design, avoids allocating probability mass to unrealistic negative values, thereby addressing the boundary bias issue. Thirdly, we introduce a heavy-tailed generalization of the mIDir distribution, referred to as the contaminated mIDir (cmIDir), which effectively handles and detects mild outliers, making it suitable for robust statistics. Maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters for the parametric models are obtained using a developed EM algorithm as well as direct numerical optimization. A parameter recovery analysis demonstrates the successful application of the estimation method, while a sensitivity analysis examines the impact of mild outliers on both the mIDir and cmIDir models. The flexibility and advantages of the proposed mIDir-based models are showcased through several real data analyses and illustrations.
Addressing Grand Challenges in Sustainable Food Transitions: Opportunities Through the Triple Change Strategy
Authors: Polyportis Athanasios , De Keyzer Freya , van Prooijen Anne-Marie , Peiffer Leonie C. , Wang Yijing 
Published: November 2024

AbstractDespite emerging consumer trends and policies promoting sustainable food consumption, the transition towards societal tipping points for sustainable food systems remains protracted due to multifaceted challenges such as consumer misconceptions, value chain inequalities, and policy fragmentation. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive approach that considers all actors within the food system. The present paper follows the paradigm set by the Consumers’ Understanding of Eating Sustainably (CUES) Horizon Europe project and introduces CUES’ Triple Change strategy. This strategy highlights Consumer and Cultural Change, Industrial Change, and Policy Change as interconnected dimensions essential for driving behavioral change and ensuring a successful transition to sustainable food systems. By leveraging persuasive communication and interventions for transparency, fostering value chain reform, and advocating for policy transformations, the Triple Change aims to overcome existing barriers and create opportunities to accelerate the shift towards a resilient food system. This paper explores the grand challenges and opportunities within each of these dimensions and offers a holistic framework for academics, stakeholders, and policymakers to contribute to sustainable food transitions.
Advancing social value analysis: challenges and opportunities to understanding social outcomes in the United States and in the United Kingdom
Authors: Bozhilova Diana 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis paper addresses the comparability and related scalability constraint of Maier et al. (VOLUNTAS 26: 1805–1830, 2015) of social impact measurement by deploying experimental mapping of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target indicators onto social return on investment (SROI) data proxies. Datasets on the unit cost database model hosted by the Greater Manchester Authority are derived for the UK and for the US. Discreet differences in data terminology between financial proxies in the UK and in the USA are translated with a contextual approach for data optimization. The resultant mapped datasets of financial proxies offer early evidence in support of the scalability of SROI. This is valuable for local measurement of progress towards the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This research finds that there are comparatively wide differences in sufficient data both within and across the UK and the US datasets. Yet, mapped data counts show sufficient cross-geographic financial proxy overlaps, pointing to the viability of data collection with financial proxy sampling and mapping both for the better understanding of place-based social value creation and for comparative localised social value contribution. This paper concludes that initial mapping of data onto the SDG target indicators improves the comparability constraint of SROI.
