(In)visible Working Mama Drama: From Excellent to ‘Good Enough’ Academia and (M)Others
Authors: Edwards Michaela , Ridgway Maranda , Chen Gwen , Cooper Emily , Pass Sarah 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe neoliberal, precarious, anatomized and audit‐centric academy produces an unfair burden on women academics. Academia, like many other organizational forms, demands unwellness. This paper argues that as well as intensifying the struggles of mothering academics like us, the pandemic also rendered us visible, forcing the body subject into view and, in doing so, offering some (albeit small) resistance to the ‘anatomizing urge’ in academia. Following discussions on agentic visibility, we propose the idea of agentic invisibility and a corresponding discussion of its loss during the pandemic. We argue that we could no longer choose to showcase what was excellent or to deliberately conceal what was not. Engaging in agentic visibility and invisibility tactics became very difficult, and this had many downsides, including the loss of liminal spaces and the difficulties in our private lives that were suddenly on display. What we choose to focus on, though, is a more caring future. Through the work of Donald Winnicott, we suggest that the difficult and sometimes painful spaces created by the pandemic forced us to reject excellence and to accept the ‘good enough’ as a way of being that should be respected. In this paper, we contribute to discussions concerning the reformative mode of ordering used by home‐working mothers during the pandemic. Though we cannot and will not speak for others, we use our dual roles as mothering academics to illustrate broader problems for others who continue to be marginalized by academia and for those who simply seek a more balanced engagement with academia. We seek an acceptance of the ‘good enough’ for all people, from those in power and from each other.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound combined with highland barley dietary fiber (HBDF) on the quality of reduced‐salt chicken breast myofibrillar protein (MP) gel. The molecular forces maintaining gel structure, the gelling formation process, and gel microstructure of different groups, two control groups (2% sodium chloride [NaCl] group, 1% NaCl group), and four treatment groups (0.3% HBDF+U5, 0.3% HBDF+U10, 0.5% HBDF+U5, and 0.5% HBDF+U10) were examined. Results indicated significant improvements (p < 0.05) in gel properties such as water‐holding capacity, textural characteristics, and color of the MP gel of the four treatment groups compared to Control 2 (1% NaCl) group. Furthermore, the second structural alterations were characterized by increase β‐sheet, β‐turn, and random coil structure contents in treatment groups, especially in 0.3% HBDF+U5 and 0.5% HBDF+U5 groups; in addition, the exposure of more hydrophobic groups and the formation of disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds were promoted in treatment groups, thus enhancing protein aggregation and gel quality. Finally, compared to Control 2 (1% NaCl) group, more compact and uniform gel network structures and pores inside the composite gels were observed in treatment groups. In conclusion, the findings demonstrated that the application of ultrasound in combination with HBDF improved the gelling characteristics of reduced‐salt chicken breast MP gel, especially 0.3% HBDF+U5 and 0.5% HBDF+U5 groups.
Historical patterns of well drilling and groundwater depth in Arizona considering groundwater regulation and surface water access
Authors: Tadych Danielle E. , Ford Matthew , Colby Bonnie G. , Condon Laura E. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractArizona has a long history of groundwater use, and there is concern about long term groundwater sustainability across the state. We explore groundwater trends across Arizona and how they vary with respect to: (1) whether groundwater pumping is regulated, and (2) relative access to local or imported surface water. Well observations from the Arizona Department of Water Resources are used to quantify water table depth trends and groundwater drilling patterns. There are more than 85,000 groundwater wells in Arizona, and new wells are routinely being drilled. The number of new shallow wells (<200 ft) has decreased over time in all parts of the state. But midrange (200–500 ft) to deep (>500 ft) wells have increased in the past 10 years in regulated and groundwater dominated areas. Most wells are small with low pumping capacities that fall below the regulatory limit; however, there are still large wells being drilled in unregulated areas. Results show statewide decreasing water storage and groundwater levels. Groundwater declines are less severe in the parts of the state that have groundwater regulation. However, looking closer at this trend, groundwater recovery is strongest in areas receiving imported Colorado River water which also implement managed groundwater recharge with the imported water. Our findings indicate that groundwater recovery is very localized and driven more by managed recharge from surface water as opposed to decreased groundwater pumping.

Published: October 2024

AbstractAimTo systematically review the literature on noise exposure within the neonatal intensive care unit/special care nursery settings, specifically to describe: noise characteristics, sources of noise and ways of measuring noise.MethodsSystematic searches were conducted through databases Medline, Embase and PubMed. Studies were included if they met the inclusion criteria (1) reported noise characteristics; (2) reported noise exposure measurements; (3) in the neonatal intensive care unit/ special care nursery settings. Methods and key findings were extracted from included studies. Quality analysis was done using a modified version of the Newcastle‐Ottawa Scale.ResultsWe identified 1651 studies, screened 871, reviewed 112 and included 47. All reported NICU average equivalent sound levels were consistently louder than recommended guidelines (45 dB). The most consistent association with higher sound pressure levels were noise sources grouped under people congregation. Half of the studies did not use measuring devices adhering to international sound level meter (SLM) standards.ConclusionAll NICUs exceeded recommended accumulative sound levels. People were the most consistent source of noise. Sound pressure levels need to be consistently measured with devices adhering to international SLM standards in future studies.

Published: October 2024

Background and PurposeTransient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a Ca2+‐permeable non‐selective cation channel. Despite the significant roles of TRPV2 in immunological response, cancer progression and cardiac development, pharmacological probes of TRPV2 remain to be identified. We aimed to discover TRPV2 inhibitors and to elucidate their molecular mechanism of action.Experimental ApproachFluorescence‐based Ca2+ assay in HEK‐293 cells expressing murine TRPV2 was used to identify plumbagin as a novel TRPV2 inhibitor. Patch‐clamp, in silico docking and site‐directed mutagenesis were applied to investigate the molecular mechanisms critical for plumbagin interaction. ELISA and qPCR were used to assess nitric oxide release and mRNA levels of inflammatory mediators, respectively. si‐RNA interference was used to knock down TRPV2 expression, which was validated by western blotting. Neurological and histological analyses were used to examine brain injury of mice following middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R).Key ResultsPlumbagin is a potent TRPV2 negative allosteric modulator with an IC50 value of 0.85 μM, exhibiting >14‐fold selectivity over TRPV1, TRPV3 and TRPV4. Plumbagin suppresses TRPV2 activity by decreasing the channel open probability without affecting the unitary conductance. Moreover, plumbagin binds to an extracellular pocket formed by the pore helix and flexible loop between transmembrane helices S5 and S6 of TRPV2. Plumbagin effectively suppresses LPS‐induced inflammation of BV‐2 microglia and ameliorates brain injury of MCAO/R mice.Conclusion and ImplicationsPlumbagin is a novel pharmacological probe to study TRPV2 pathophysiology. TRPV2 is a novel molecular target for the treatment of neuroinflammation and ischemic stroke.
Professionals' Insights on Supervision in Portuguese Residential Care
Authors: Magalhães Eunice , Cerdeira Joana 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTThe scarcity of evidence on how supervision in the child protection system (CPS) is developed, specifically in residential care, calls for further research on this issue. The aim of this study is to provide new insights on staff perceptions in residential care about supervision's strengths, opportunities, threats and weaknesses, as well as their conceptions about the impact of supervision in this context. A total of 94 professionals (Mage = 28.20, SD = 12.21) participated in this qualitative study. Participants completed an online survey consisting of six open‐ended questions and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Qualitative content analysis was performed using MAXQDA software and descriptive statistics using IBM SPSS. Participants perceived that supervision provided knowledge and interpersonal skills, allowing staff to receive support and guidance. Obtaining an external perspective was highlighted as a significant value of supervision, and the main constraints were related to economic and labour demands. Participants considered that supervision positively impacts mainly staff performance and the quality of intervention, with only residual references to the impacts on children or on the organizational structure. These findings can inform policies and practices aimed at improving supervisory mechanisms and structures. Changes in the recruitment and selection of supervisors, as well as guidelines outlining the roles and functions of supervision in care settings, are required.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of ultrasound‐image‐based computer‐assisted implant planning and placement.Materials and MethodsIntraoral scans, cone‐beam computerized tomography (CBCT), and ultrasound (US) scans with a custom positioning device were acquired in nine patients. Prosthetic‐driven surgical guides were planned and fabricated based on ultrasound images and intraoral scans. Implants were then placed. Postoperative implant position was obtained intra‐surgically by intraoral scan. Aside from the ultrasound‐based plan, conventional implant planning was performed by the same operator on a pre‐surgical CBCT for comparison. Linear deviations between ultrasound and CBCT‐planned implant positions were measured and compared with the intra‐surgical implant position, and the position deviations between two consecutive plannings were performed on the same CBCT by the same operator. The linear deviation between the 3D scan surface of the edentulous region and the ultrasonographic soft tissue profile segmentation was also assessed with reverse‐engineering software. Means, standard deviations, and root mean square differences (RMSD) were calculated for every variable.ResultsAll the ultrasound‐planned implants were successfully placed, and no complications were recorded. The mean deviations in angles, shoulders, and apexes were 5.27 ± 1.75° (RMSD: 5.53°), 0.92 ± 0.26 mm (RMSD: 0.95 mm), and 1.41 ± 0.61 mm (RMSD: 1.53 mm), respectively, between the US and CBCT‐planned implants; 2.63 ± 0.43° (RMSD: 2.66°), 1.16 ± 0.30 mm (RMSD: 1.19 mm), and 1.26 ± 0.27 mm (RMSD: 1.28 mm) between the planned implant and intra‐surgically recorded positions; and 2.90 ± 1.36° (RMSD: 3.18°), 0.65 ± 0.27 mm (RMSD: 0.70 mm), and 0.99 ± 0.37 mm (RMSD: 1.05 mm) between two consecutive CBCTs planning performed by the same operator. The mean deviation between the 3D surfaces of model scans and ultrasound‐derived soft tissue profile in the edentulous area was 0.19 ± 0.08 mm.ConclusionsUltrasound‐guided implant surgery represents a feasible non‐ionizing alternative to conventional static guided implant surgical protocols for implant placement in sites with favorable characteristics.
The “right‐to‐farm” in Lac Saint‐Pierre (Québec, Canada) floodplains: Are problem‐framing processes able to foster conservation conflict resolution?
Authors: Lévesque Ann , Bissonnette Jean‐François , Dupras Jérôme 
Published: October 2024

AbstractUsing qualitative data, we investigate the impact of the problem‐framing process on stakeholder mobilization for fish habitat restoration and its influence on transforming agricultural practices in floodplains. Problem‐framing involves defining and delineating a problem to suggest practical and measurable solutions for addressing it. We are examining how the conservation conflict changes over time in Lac Saint‐Pierre (LSP), part of the St. Lawrence River Basin in Québec, Canada. Such conflicts arise when there are differing perspectives, interests, or actions regarding conservation goals and objectives. In recent decades, the LSP floodplain has undergone significant changes, particularly the conversion of perennial crops to intensive annual crops, which are deemed incompatible with the ecological needs of yellow perch. This species has experienced a notable decline in LSP since the 1990s, prompting Québec authorities to impose a moratorium on yellow perch fishing in 2012 to safeguard stocks. This moratorium has catalyzed efforts at the policy level to restore its habitat. However, it has also engendered tensions between agricultural activities and conservation endeavors aimed at restoring yellow perch habitat, constituting the conservation conflict under investigation. To investigate this issue, we adopt a post‐normal science approach characterized by reflexivity, inclusivity, and transparency in addressing epistemological and ontological uncertainties among LSP stakeholders. Our findings offer insights into stakeholders' perspectives on the problem‐framing process and its outcomes, highlighting both supportive actions enhancing the effectiveness of certain strategies among LSP stakeholders and barriers hindering their mobilization. These results underscore the importance of incorporating diverse stakeholder perspectives during the problem‐framing process to enhance the robustness of the science–policy interface.
Will the real carbon pricing please stand up?
Authors: Fugazza Marco , Neto David 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis paper aims at extracting a common factor from major carbon pricing which is interpreted as an effective carbon pricing or a shadow pricing. For this purpose, we use a dynamic factor model for which the unobserved common factors and idiosyncratic noises are potentially nonstationary processes. The two‐step Kalman smoother procedure is used to estimate the model. We found (i) that the extracted common factor (i.e., the effective carbon pricing) exhibits very low values which range from 2.05 to 16.1 USD per ton, and more importantly, (ii) this factor does not cointegrate with the market prices. This last result highlights a total lack of integration of carbon markets.
KDBI special issue: Time‐series pattern verification in CNC turning—A comparative study of one‐class and binary classification
Authors: da Silva João Pinto , Nogueira Ana Rita , Pinto José , Curral Manuel , Alves António Correia , Sousa Ricardo 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIntegrating Industry 4.0 and Quality 4.0 optimises manufacturing through IoT and ML, improving processes and product quality. The primary challenge involves identifying patterns in computer numerical control (CNC) machining time‐series data to boost manufacturing quality control. The proposed solution involves an experimental study comparing one‐class and binary classification algorithms. This study aims to classify time‐series data from CNC turning machines, offering insight into monitoring and adjusting tool wear to maintain product quality. The methodology entails extracting spectral features from time‐series data to train both one‐class and binary classification algorithms, assessing their effectiveness and computational efficiency. Although certain models consistently outperform others, determining the best performing is not possible, as a trade‐off between classification and computational performance is observed, with gradient boosting standing out for effectively balancing both aspects. Thus, the choice between one‐class and binary classification ultimately relies on dataset's features and task objectives.
Assessment of the correlation between environmental variables and the spatial distribution and species structure of testate amoebae (Arcellinida and Euglyphida) in a stratified freshwater lake

Abstract

Testate amoebae are unicellular organisms that occur worldwide in lacustrine habitats and have been widely used as proxies for palaeoreconstruction and bioindicators of contemporary ecosystems. Our knowledge of the environmental factors determining the spatial distribution of testate amoebae in stratified freshwater lakes remains limited.

The objective of this study was to assess the correlations between studied environmental variables and spatial distribution and species structure of testate amoebae communities inhabiting different limnological zones within a single lake basin along the depth gradient.

In our study, we used a multistation approach within one waterbody. We collected samples at five transects at five depths in four limnological zones, for a total of 69 samples from 24 sites. Redundancy and k‐means analysis distinguished four groups of samples associated with different environmental conditions.

Our results indicate that the distribution of testate amoebae species was correlated with a variety of factors. Along the depth gradient, the distribution of communities was primarily correlated with temperature, electrical conductivity and blue–green algal phycoerythrin. Within the littoral zone, the distribution of species either correlated with the sand content in sediments or was determined by the stochastic beginning of community assembly. In deepwater habitats, the distribution of species was correlated with the dissolved oxygen concentration, pH and concentration of the blue–green algal phycoerythrin.

We assume that bottom sediments in single stratified freshwater lakes in shallow and deep water zones represent two distinct biotopes for the formation of communities of testate amoebae, and assessing habitat and community differences in stratified lakes requires a multistation sampling approach.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBackgroundDuring the coronavirus pandemic, misinformation was circulated through technology and social media on a large scale. Since people rely on media to keep connected and informed, misinformation can prevent them from staying safe.ObjectivesTo examine the quality of information reaching Pakistanis, the effect of information/misinformation on people's perception, and its relationship with risky health behaviours in different demographical groups.MethodsA community sample of N= 103 Pakistanis was assessed using a mixed‐method cross‐sectional survey research design to investigate their sources of knowledge/information, perceptions of coronavirus‐related facts, and risky health behaviours.ResultsContent analysis of the material that participants read/watched indicated the possible effect of media on people's perception of COVID‐19. Specific demography (e.g., increasing age) and people's tendency to believe misinformation/information may indicate risky health behaviours pertaining to coronavirus infection.DiscussionFindings showed how the models considered (social cognitive theory, biological warfare conspiracy theory, theory of planned behaviour, protection motivation theory, the health belief model, and biopsychosocial model) may be relevant to examination of the effects of misinformation on different demographic groups.ConclusionThe findings and models need to be verified on larger, more representative samples of Pakistanis using a large‐scale survey based on the insights obtained from this pilot study.
The trouble with trauma: Interconnected forms of violence in the lives of repeatedly criminalised men
Authors: Anderson Sarah 
Published: October 2024

AbstractFocus on the interconnection of interpersonal violence, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma and justice‐involvement has increased interest internationally among policymakers and practitioners working within criminal justice contexts for ‘trauma‐informed’ approaches and interventions which facilitate recovery. This article discusses limitations of employing these concepts to make sense of the lives of criminal‐justice involved people. Drawing on UK‐based research using interviews and collage‐workshops to gather autobiographical narratives of 16 repeatedly‐criminalised men, a case vignette is presented to show the institutional and structural contexts of interpersonal violence, and the critical role of the criminal justice system (CJS) in obscuring and perpetuating violence. This raises doubt about the CJS's capacity to respond to trauma. The contribution of this article is to integrate theoretical conceptualisations of violence and empirical findings to critique the possibility of trauma‐informed practice (TIP) within a criminal justice context.

Published: October 2024

AbstractRapid industrialization has led to significant environmental challenges, including the disposal of effluents with high zinc ion concentrations. This study investigates the use of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles as an adsorbent for Zn (II) ions from aqueous solutions at neutral pH. These nanoparticles are characterized by their high purity, mesoporous structure, and a specific surface area of 60.97 ± .40 m2 g−1. Their thermal stability was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis, and zeta potential measurements indicated a surface charge close to the isoelectric point. Adsorption experiments showed that the kinetics fit well with the pseudo‐second‐order model, with a rate constant of 2.58 ± .49 min−1 mg−1 and a determination coefficient (R2) of 1.00. Isotherm analyses using Redlich–Peterson, Langmuir, and Freundlich models revealed the highest adsorption capacity and best fitting with the Redlich–Peterson model, showing maximum capacities of 30.36 mg g−1 (linear fitting) and 32.11 mg g−1 (nonlinear fitting). These fits achieved R2 values of .9949 and .9923, respectively, suggesting efficient and reliable adsorption profiles. This research highlights the potential of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles for effective zinc ion removal, supporting their application in sustainable industrial practices and environmental remediation.
