AbstractThe development of novel nano‐single‐atom‐site catalysts with optimized electron configurations and active water adsorption (*H2O) to release hydrogen protons (*H) is paramount for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE), a multi‐step reaction process involving two electrons. In this study, an atom‐confinement and thermal reduction strategy is introduced to achieve synergistic Ag single‐atoms (Ag1) and nanoparticles (AgNPs) confined within carbon nitride nanotubes (Ag1+NPs‐CN) for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Mechanistic investigations reveal that H2O adsorption/dissociation predominantly occurs at Ag1 sites, while AgNPs sites notably facilitate H2 release, indicating the synergistic effect between Ag1 and AgNPs in the H2 evolution reaction. Furthermore, the effective confining of Ag species is beneficial for trapping electrons in highly active reaction regions, while the “electronic metal‐support interactions” (EMSIs) of AgNPs and Ag1‐C2N sites regulate the d‐band centers and effectively optimize the adsorption/desorption of intermediates in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, leading to enhanced H2 production performance.

Published: November 2024

AbstractHeteroatom doping is the most common means to enhance the Li+/Na+ ions storage of hard carbon (HC). The explanation of the storage mechanism of heteroatom‐doped HC is to increase the active site or widen the layer spacing while ignoring the effect of local bending structure induced by it. Meanwhile, the storage mechanism by the localized bending structure also lacks in‐depth study. Herein, a locally curved configuration and an amorphous structure are designed by introducing different heteroatoms, respectively, and the mechanism of the two types of structures on the Li+/Na+ ions storage is explored. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that the adsorption energy of Li+/Na+ ions is optimal at the appropriate curvature of 27.72 m−1. Serving as anode for lithium/sodium ion batteries in ester electrolytes, the optimized HCs demonstrate satisfied specific capacity and high‐rate capability, respectively. Furthermore, the charging capacity below 1.0 V of HC with suitable curvature microstructure reaches 84.8% and 90.1% of the total charge capacity, confirming that the curvature defects can better control the delithiation/desodiation process, and provide a higher energy density. This study enlightens new insights into the storage mechanisms of Li+/Na+ ions and provides guidance for better design of heteroatom‐doped carbon anodes with superior performance.
Event Analysis Through QuoteKG: A Multilingual Knowledge Graph of Quotes
Authors: Kuculo Tin , Gottschalk Simon 
Published: November 2024

AbstractSignificant moments in history are often remarked upon by public figures in the form of quotes. As evidence of character traits and future political or personal decisions, quotes provide insight into the actions of their originators. The impact of a quote crosses language barriers and influences the public’s reaction to specific political stances. Nevertheless, effectively collating, attributing and analysing these quotes across languages remain challenging. Existing efforts have made strides in quote collections and analyses, yet several limitations persist, including a lack of context information, a labour-intensive extraction process and missing alignment of quote mentions across languages. Building upon QuoteKG, a multilingual knowledge graph of quotes that already addresses some of the aforementioned limitations, we present an approach for aligning quotes with event knowledge. QuoteKG is based on Wikiquote, a free and collaboratively created collection of quotes in many languages. Containing nearly one million quotes in 55 languages said by 69,000 people of public interest, QuoteKG extracts and aligns different mentions and contexts of quotes across a wide range of topics. We show that QuoteKG can be aligned with event knowledge. We use this alignment to enrich and analyse event-centric information by providing rich semantic context to important world events. QuoteKG is publicly available and can be accessed via a SPARQL endpoint.
A French Hotel in Lima, Russia in Paris, and Theatre Laws in Transylvania: On Migration, Travel, and Transnational Female Theatre Historiography
Authors: Groß Martina 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter provides a comparative insight into the complex interrelation of travel writing and migration literature. Focusing on the idea of a transnational female theatre historiography, Martina Groß also shows how travel writing and historical migration research can be linked and what potential is inherent in travelogues as sources for historical migration research. Using the travel and migration experiences of nineteenth-century women (Flora Tristan, Minna Wohlgeboren-Wohlbrück, Juliane Déry), their literary documentation, and aesthetic reflection, similarities and differences between migration and travel experiences are analysed in terms of cultural hybridity, the experience of alterity, and the transfer of (artistic) knowledge. Referring to the mechanisms that exclude female voices in theatre history, the chapter concludes with a plea for the perspective of a transnational female theatre historiography.
Travelling Along ‘Untrodden Tracts’: Joachim Stocqueler and the Making of Early Colonial Theatre in India
Authors: Basu Priyanka 
Published: November 2024

AbstractBasu offers a critical historical study of the early years of theatre-making in colonial India through the life and writings of Joachim Stocqueler, a prolific traveller, journalist, and theatre-maker. Beginning with images of ship journeys as drawing the Empire closer, the chapter moves on to explore how Stocqueler’s twin vocations of journalism and theatre-making offer a much more fluid and mobile view of theatre histories as opposed to rigid post-colonial historiographies. Underscoring the need for exploring the lives and labours of early actresses on the colonial English stage, the chapter offers a close reading of Stocqueler’s own memoirs as a rich primary resource. In conclusion, it brings Stocqueler’s travels, vocations, and voice together to push the boundaries of understanding the life and work of theatre-migrants.
From Cape Workers and ‘Carriers of Culture’: Migration, Citizenship, and Race in the German Empire
Authors: Skwirblies Lisa 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe chapter queries theatre-migration through the lens of colonialism and empire. It focuses on two performance repertoires in the former colony of German South-West Africa that reveal the extent to which discourses on migration and citizenship were entangled in debates about ‘race’ in imperial Germany: the German colonial settlers regularly organised theatre and literary societies in the service of empire in the late nineteenth century, while the so-called Cape workers, a large group of African labour migrants from the neighbouring British Cape colony who came to work in the diamond mines of the colony at the beginning of the twentieth century, regularly staged performance events that challenged the strict racial-segregation laws in place under German colonial rule.

Authors: Kern Winfried V. , Baumann Jürgen , Först Gesche , Kramme Evelyn , Steib-Bauert Michaela , Kranz Jennifer , Magistro Giuseppe , de With Katja 
Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund
Die Antibiotikaverordnung bei stationären Patienten unterscheidet sich je nach Fachrichtung sowohl hinsichtlich der Intensität als auch bezüglich des Wirkstoffspektrums.

Ziel der Arbeit
Es wird eine Analyse und Bewertung der aktuellen Daten zur Antibiotikaverbrauchsdichte (AD) in deutschen urologischen Fachabteilungen durchgeführt.

Material und Methoden
Die Antibiotikaverordnungsdaten von 107 urologischen Fachabteilungen wurden für den Zeitraum 2022/23 ausgewertet. Die Berechnung der AD erfolgte als Tagesdosen (festgelegt nach Empfehlungen für erwachsene stationäre Patienten, sog. „recommended daily doses“, RDD) pro 100 Pflegetage (RDD/100).

Ergebnisse
Die AD betrug im Median 71 RDD/100 mit einer großen Spannweite von minimal 15,9 bis maximal 138,7 RDD/100. Es gab keine signifikanten Unterschiede nach Krankenhausgröße. Fluorchinolone waren mit einer medianen AD von 6,0 RDD/100 nach Cephalosporinen der dritten bzw. vierten Generation (Median 16,2 RDD/100), Aminopenicillin/Betalaktamaseinhibitor-Kombinationen (Median 10,8 RDD/100) und Piperacillin-Tazobactam bzw. Piperacillin (Median 8,9 RDD/100) die viertstärkste Substanzgruppe. Das Verhältnis Penicilline zu Cephalosporinen schwankte zwischen 6:94 und 98:2 (insgesamt 52:48). Aminoglykoside (< 1 %) und intravenöses Fosfomycin (< 0,1 %) hatten nur einen sehr kleinen Anteil an den Verordnungen. Cotrimoxazol (Median 4,0 RDD/100) wurde seltener als Fluorchinolone verordnet. Der Anteil oraler Antibiotika betrug insgesamt 44,7 % und schwankte nach Krankenhausgröße wenig. Dabei wurden Fosfomycin, Pivmecillinam, Nitrofurantoin und Nitroxolin deutlich seltener verordnet als orale Betalaktame, Fluorchinolone und Cotrimoxazol.

Schlussfolgerung
Die AD in der Urologie schwankte auch 2022/23 erheblich. Betalaktame wurden mit Abstand am häufigsten verordnet. Fluorchinolone – vielfach oral – werden weiterhin eingesetzt, ihr Verbrauch schwankt ähnlich der gesamten AD erheblich und unabhängig von der Krankenhausgröße. Die bei der akuten unkomplizierten Zystitis empfohlenen Antibiotika spielen mengenmäßig im stationären Setting eine untergeordnete Rolle. Penicilline und Cotrimoxazol sollten vermehrt als Behandlungsalternative berücksichtigt werden. Auch intravenöses Fosfomycin oder Aminoglykoside sollten als Optionen bei ansonsten resistenten Erregern betrachtet werden.
Aggregating credences into beliefs: agenda conditions for impossibility results
Authors: Wang Minkyung , Kim Chisu 
Published: November 2024

AbstractHybrid belief aggregation addresses aggregation of individual probabilistic beliefs into collective binary beliefs. In line with the development of judgment aggregation theory, our research delves into the identification of precise agenda conditions associated with some key impossibility theorems in the context of hybrid belief aggregation. We determine the necessary and sufficient level of logical interconnection between the propositions in an agenda for some key impossibilities to arise. Specifically, we prove three characterization theorems about hybrid belief aggregation: (i) Precisely the path-connected and pair-negatable agendas lead to the ‘oligarchy result’—only oligarchic rules satisfy universal domain, proposition-wise independence, respect for unanimity, and deductive closure of collective beliefs. (ii) Precisely the negation-connected agendas lead to the ‘triviality result’—only unanimity rules satisfy those conditions as well as anonymity. (iii) Precisely the blocked agendas lead to the ‘non-existence result’—no rules satisfy those conditions as well as completeness and consistency of collective beliefs. Furthermore, we compare these novel findings with existing agenda-theoretic characterization theorems in the domains of judgment aggregation and belief binarization.
Matthew 7:3—a response to Kingsland and Taiz (2024)
Authors: Minorsky Peter V. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
I present here a rebuttal to an article in this volume wherein Kingsland and Taiz (2024) cast aspersions about an article I have written concerning Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose (Minorsky PV, in Plant Signal Behav 16:1818030, 2021) a brilliant Bengali scientist who was a pioneer not only in physics (microwaves and semi-conductors), but also in elucidating the electrophysiological responses of plants to environmental stimuli. The charge of racism that I have levelled at Bose’s most powerful and well-connected botanical adversary in the 1920s, Daniel T. MacDougal, is irrefutable: MacDougal was a racist, his racism extended to South Asians, and he used racist epithets in referring to Bose. MacDougal offered no cogent arguments against Bose’s electrophysiological measurements but attacked Bose with the racist trope that South Asians were “mystics.” MacDougal wielded his political and editorial clout to publicize faulty research in opposition to Bose while ignoring a sizable body of contemporaneous evidence in support of Bose’s ideas. Unfortunately, given MacDougal’s stature as the General Secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the racist tenor of the time, many Western scientists were too ready to accept uncritically MacDougal’s proclamations that Bose was a fraud, an incompetent, and a “Hindoo” mystic. Bose was one of the greatest minds to ever contemplate plant function. It is high time that we, in the West, redress this historical wrong, and acknowledge Bose’s enormous and revolutionary contributions to plant physiology.
BFAR: improving radar odometry estimation using a bounded false alarm rate detector
Authors: Alhashimi Anas , Adolfsson Daniel , Andreasson Henrik , Lilienthal Achim , Magnusson Martin 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis work introduces a novel detector, bounded false-alarm rate (BFAR), for distinguishing true detections from noise in radar data, leading to improved accuracy in radar odometry estimation. Scanning frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars can serve as valuable tools for localization and mapping under low visibility conditions. However, they tend to yield a higher level of noise in comparison to the more commonly employed lidars, thereby introducing additional challenges to the detection process. We propose a new radar target detector called BFAR which uses an affine transformation of the estimated noise level compared to the classical constant false-alarm rate (CFAR) detector. This transformation employs learned parameters that minimize the error in odometry estimation. Conceptually, BFAR can be viewed as an optimized blend of CFAR and fixed-level thresholding designed to minimize odometry estimation error. The strength of this approach lies in its simplicity. Only a single parameter needs to be learned from a training dataset when the affine transformation scale parameter is maintained. Compared to ad-hoc detectors, BFAR has the advantage of a specified upper-bound for the false-alarm probability, and better noise handling than CFAR. Repeatability tests show that BFAR yields highly repeatable detections with minimal redundancy. We have conducted simulations to compare the detection and false-alarm probabilities of BFAR with those of three baselines in non-homogeneous noise and varying target sizes. The results show that BFAR outperforms the other detectors. Moreover, We apply BFAR to the use case of radar odometry, and adapt a recent odometry pipeline, replacing its original conservative filtering with BFAR. In this way, we reduce the translation/rotation odometry errors/100 m from 1.3%/0.4$$^\circ $$

AbstractIn the nutrient-poor soils of the Amazon rainforest, phosphorus (P) emerges as a critical limiting factor for ecosystem productivity. Despite these limitations, the Amazon exhibits remarkable productivity that is maintained by its efficient nutrient recycling mechanisms. Central to this process is the role of organic matter, particularly its dissolved (DOM) fraction, which serves as a crucial nutrient reservoir for both plants and microorganisms. This study delves into the dynamics of nutrient-containing DOM within the soils of two contrasting rainforest ecosystems: clayey terra firme forests, known for their robust nutrient recycling and presumed P-limitation, and sandy white-sand forests, characterized by reduced nutrient recycling capacity and presumed nitrogen (N)-limitation. Utilizing ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS), we analyzed the molecular composition of dissolved organic nutrient species. We evidenced nutrient limitation applying innovative concepts: (1) assessing nutrient depletion in DOM via nutrient-to-carbon ratios, (2) comparing the composition of nutrient-enriched DOM pools across soil depth profiles to infer microbial nutrient processing, and (3) examining the temporal variability of nutrient-containing DOM as an indicator of nutrient uptake and production. Our results corroborate the hypothesis of P-limitation in terra firme forests, with significant processing of N-containing DOM also observed, indicating a synergistic demand for both P and N. Surprisingly, white-sand soils exhibited no signs of N-limitation but instead sulfur (S)-limitation, a novel finding for these ecosystems. This study highlights the diversity of potential nutrient limitations in the central Amazon and the importance of the bioavailable “black box” DOM for tropical nutrient cycles.
Enduring Outcomes of Family-focused Youth Care: A Systematic Review of Child, Parent and Family Functioning After Care and at Follow-up
Authors: Janssen Bernadette M. , Mathijssen Jolanda J. P. , Van Bakel Hedwig J. A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background
Given the impact of growing up in vulnerable families on opportunities in life and the large numbers of families with severe parenting and child functioning problems who repeatedly receive some form of youth care, it is important to investigate the long-term outcomes of the provided care.

Objective
This study aimed to investigate whether outcomes endure over a longer period of time, by exploring the effects of family-focused youth care on child, parental and family functioning at the end of care and at follow-up moments.

Method
A systematic search was conducted in three databases (Psycinfo, Web of Science and ERIC), using search terms matching youth care and long-term effects. Effects between start and end of care, between end and follow up moments and between start and follow up moments on child, parent and family functioning were systematically mapped out.

Results
Twenty-six articles were included describing effects of family-focused youth care at post treatment and at least one follow-up moment. The results demonstrated positive outcomes in short and longer term as improvement was found in child, parent and family functioning at the end of care and follow-up moments.

Conclusions
Despite the positive outcomes, determining long-term effects of youth care turned out to be difficult, as most studies organize follow-up moments within one year of the end of care. Moreover, there may also be an intertwined effect of the provided and possible follow-up care. More longitudinal research with follow-up moments over multiple years is required to investigate the durability of outcomes.
On Being Accepted: Interrogating How University Cultural Scripts Shape Personal and Political Facets of Belonging
Authors: Covarrubias Rebecca 
Published: November 2024

AbstractBelonging is personal and political. As a fundamental human need, belonging is about self-acceptance and about feeling “accepted” by others. And yet, this process of acceptance is inextricably tied to structures of power that work to include and exclude. Structures of whiteness within higher education systems, for example, relegate low-income, first-generation-to-college students of color to the margins and undermine their capacity and desire to belong. This makes the task of developing institutional practices that foster belonging complex. Such a task prompts important questions about what “acceptance” looks like. For example, in what ways can practices of acceptance attend to existing power structures? Under what conditions can acceptance occur so as not to solely expect students to assimilate or to silence important parts of themselves? How can practices of acceptance recognize the diverse belonging needs of marginalized students and the politics surrounding those needs? To answer these questions, I utilize frameworks that reveal the paradoxes of belonging—the push and pull of being accepted in spaces that marginalize the self. Specifically, drawing from a place-belongingness and politics of belonging framework, I first provide a foundation for understanding the personal and political components of belonging for marginalized students. I then review harmful institutional practices of “acceptance” and discuss more transformative practices that sustain students’ cultural identities. Illuminating the personal and political facets of what it means to be accepted provides a pathway for reimaging who can, wants, and gets to belong.
The Epistemic Policies of Anti-Ageing Medicines in the European Union
Authors: Marín Penella Guillermo 
Published: November 2024

AbstractAnti-ageing medicines are products intended to extend lifespan and healthspan in humans that have a good potential use in public health policies. In the European Union, their development, production and consumption are dependent on regulatory science performed by the European Medicines Agency and its associated epistemic policies. They impose, among other things, an unfavourable burden of proof, a strict standard of proof and meta-methodological constrictions related to some theoretical issues. This results in a distribution of errors that tends to reduce false positives while increasing false negatives, leading to a set of social consequences that are generally accepted when the focus is placed on conventional medicines. However, when the same epistemic policies are applied to anti-ageing medicines, the distribution of errors is imbalanced, and undesirable outcomes like research discouragement and waiting time extensions appear. Three possible strategies that policymakers could implement to unblock the situation are presented for future reflection: the consideration of ageing as a disease, the application of methodological asymmetry and the use of biomarkers during clinical research.
