Abstract
Phytoplankton blooms create harmful toxins, scums, and taste and odor compounds and thus pose a major risk to drinking water safety. Climate and land use change are increasing the frequency and severity of blooms, motivating the development of new approaches for preemptive, rather than reactive, water management. While several real-time phytoplankton forecasts have been developed to date, none are both automated and quantify uncertainty in their predictions, which is critical for manager use. In response to this need, we outline a framework for developing the first automated, real-time lake phytoplankton forecasting system that quantifies uncertainty, thereby enabling managers to adapt operations and mitigate blooms. Implementation of this system calls for new, integrated ecosystem and statistical models; automated cyberinfrastructure; effective decision support tools; and training for forecasters and decision makers. We provide a research agenda for the creation of this system, as well as recommendations for developing real-time phytoplankton forecasts to support management.
« Un container de papiers »

Published: September 2024

Cet article explore les dynamiques historiques et politiques qui articulent l’identification, l’état civil et la citoyenneté en Côte d’Ivoire. Il s’intéresse à des communautés rurales déplacées de Haute-Volta dans les années 1930 et installées par le gouvernement colonial français dans des « villages coloniaux » autour de Bouaflé. Maintenus jusqu’aux années 1990 dans un statut ambigu d’étrangers immigrés, ces individus rencontrent aujourd’hui encore des difficultés pour obtenir des documents d’identité auprès de l’administration locale et demeurent, malgré leur naturalisation collective, dans un statut liminal d’exception juridique et politique. À la suite de la crise ivoirienne (2002-2011), la vieille question de la citoyenneté s’est vue reformulée en termes de « risque d’apatridie » par le gouvernement et les organisations internationales. L’article reconstitue l’histoire de la discrimination de ces personnes et de leur lutte pour obtenir des « papiers ». Il montre que ni la réforme de l’état civil ni celle de la biométrie n’ont radicalement modifié leur insécurité documentaire ou les vieux stéréotypes qui continuent à structurer les représentations de l’appartenance nationale. Les « autochtones » continuent ainsi de rattacher la citoyenneté des « villages voltaïques » à la mémoire historique de la gouvernance coloniale. Il s’avère finalement que les nouvelles technologies biométriques, bien que visant à dépolitiser la question de l’identification, sont loin de réduire les risques d’apatridie et pourraient même ouvrir la voie à sa consolidation numérique.
MRSA nasal screening predictive values assessment in patients with osteomyelitis
Authors: Stramel Stefanie , Buckley Valerie , Tran MaiCuc , Price Todd 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objective and Design:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal screening utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays in patients with osteomyelitis.

Setting:
A multisite, retrospective adult chart review from March 2021 to June 2022 was conducted, with no interventions performed. Patients treated with anti-MRSA therapy for osteomyelitis, MRSA nares PCR collected within 48 hours of antibiotic initiation, and related cultures were evaluated.

Patients:
Adults with associated cultures were assessed for concordance with MRSA nares PCR screening results. The primary outcome was the diagnostic value of MRSA nares PCR assay screening for predicting MRSA osteomyelitis. An assessment of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) was performed. Key secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay and duration of anti-MRSA therapy.

Results:
One hundred seven patients with MRSA nares PCR sensitivities were included in this assessment. The PPV and NPV were determined to be 25% CI (10.08–49.79%) and 94.7% CI (91.29–96.87%), respectively. Median and interquartile range durations of anti-MRSA therapy were decreased in the MRSA PCR negative group at 5 (3–8) versus 6.5 (6–9.75) days (p = 0.03752).

Conclusion:
This research showed a high NPV (94.7%) and a low PPV (25%) that aligned with other studies evaluating MRSA nares PCR utilization in osteomyelitis. Additionally, despite no active intervention on the results, early de-escalation of inappropriate antibiotic therapy was observed.
Immediate-use steam sterilization and the effect on surgical site infection risk in an acute care facility
Authors: Crall Victoria D. , Lewis Casey L. , Risnear Avisha , Miller Jason , Sherer Joanne , Ayres Ashley M. , Snyder Graham M. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Immediate-use steam sterilization (IUSS) shortens the time of sterilization but may increase the risk of surgical site infection (SSI). Among 23,919 procedures with 416 (1.7%) procedures resulting in SSI, IUSS was associated with a 1.52 (95% CI, 1.10–2.11) times higher risk of SSI. IUSS should be minimized.
From concrete mixture to structural design—a holistic optimization procedure in the presence of uncertainties
Authors: Agrawal Atul , Tamsen Erik , Unger Jörg F. , Koutsourelakis Phaedon-Stelios 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We propose a systematic design approach for the precast concrete industry to promote sustainable construction practices. By employing a holistic optimization procedure, we combine the concrete mixture design and structural simulations in a joint, forward workflow that we ultimately seek to invert. In this manner, new mixtures beyond standard ranges can be considered. Any design effort should account for the presence of uncertainties which can be aleatoric or epistemic as when data are used to calibrate physical models or identify models that fill missing links in the workflow. Inverting the causal relations established poses several challenges especially when these involve physics-based models which more often than not, do not provide derivatives/sensitivities or when design constraints are present. To this end, we advocate Variational Optimization, with proposed extensions and appropriately chosen heuristics to overcome the aforementioned challenges. The proposed approach to treat the design process as a workflow, learn the missing links from data/models, and finally perform global optimization using the workflow is transferable to several other materials, structural, and mechanical problems. In the present work, the efficacy of the method is exemplarily illustrated using the design of a precast concrete beam with the objective to minimize the global warming potential while satisfying a number of constraints associated with its load-bearing capacity after 28 days according to the Eurocode, the demolding time as computed by a complex nonlinear finite element model, and the maximum temperature during the hydration.
Fire in Jamaica, 1831–32
Authors: Ogborn Miles 
Published: September 2024

AbstractFire is a material and social process that is different in different periods and places. This article examines the fires set during the largest, and last, uprising of the enslaved in Jamaica, which occurred in the island's western parishes after Christmas 1831. It argues that different sorts of fire were central to processes of production and everyday life under plantation slavery, and examines what the burnings of 1831–32 reveal about the fight against enslavement in the early nineteenth century. A close reading of the records of the trials that followed the uprising details the methods used to burn plantations; the decisions over what to burn and what to save; and the contested social and political relations involved in encouraging or extinguishing the flames. This demonstrates that fire was a material means of creative destruction for the rebels that turned the everyday practices of commodity production and coerced social reproduction against the plantation infrastructure; that destroying buildings by fire both denied and made claims on the land, and sought to remake the Jamaican landscape for other forms of inhabitation; and that the collectivities forged through fire were inevitably shaped by both shared endeavors and tensions within and between groups of plantation inhabitants facing an uncertain future. Overall, it seeks to understand the use of fire in the 1831–32 uprising to fight for freedom as part of a “politics of habitation.”
From managerialism to toxic leadership: The moderating effect of ethical climate in the healthcare sector

Published: September 2024

Abstract
A hegemonic neoliberal ideology dominates all areas of work in Turkey, including healthcare. Though neoliberalism has been studied extensively from the perspective of meaning, values, and processes, managerial and leadership behavior dynamics require further research. This study analyzes the relationship between managerialism, toxic leadership, and ethical climate in an industry swept up by untamed neoliberalism, particularly in a nation where employment and human rights are ceremoniously protected. Through an analysis of medical doctors working in 207 public and private university hospitals in Turkey, we explored the role of managerialism and four distinct ethical climate types, resulting in the emergence of toxic leadership behaviors during the global pandemic. We theorize the extent to which toxic leaders emerge from managerialism. We further explain why the hegemonic Turkish leadership culture thrives in toxic behaviors such as paternalism, fealty, ingratiation, nepotism, and cronyism in the context of neoliberal expansion.
Inoculum microbial mass is negatively related to microbial yield and positively to methane yield in vitro

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Ruminal microbes catabolise feed carbohydrates mainly into SCFA, methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2), with predictable relationships between fermentation end products and net microbial increase. We used a closed in vitro batch culture system, incubating grass and maize silages, and measured total gas production at 8 and 24 h, as well as the truly degraded substrate, the net production of SCFA, CH4, and microbial biomass at 24 h, and investigated the impact of silage type and inoculum microbial mass on fermentation direction. Net microbial yield was negatively correlated with total gas at 8 h (P < 0•001), but not at 24 h (P = 0•052), and negatively correlated with CH4 production (P < 0•001). Higher initial inoculum microbial mass was related to a lower net microbial yield (P < 0•001) but a higher CH4 production (P < 0•001). A significant difference between grass silage and maize silage was detected within the context of these relationships (P < 0•050). The metabolic hydrogen (2H) recovery was 102.8 ± 12.3 % for grass silages and 118.8 ± 13.3% for maize silages. Overall, grass silages favoured more substrate conversion to microbial biomass and less to fermentation end products than maize silage. Lower inoculum microbial mass facilitated more microbial growth and, because of the 2H sink by microbial synthesis, decreased CH4 production.
South(s) of the South(s): race, caporalato, and the ‘Southern Question’ renewed in contemporary Italian border-making
Authors: Neil Margaret Renata , Cerruti Federica M. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In contemporary Italy, media and public actors frame the exploitation of migrant agricultural labourers as the outcome of caporalato. This concept – translated as labour brokerage or gang mastery – connotes the violent treatment of workers and their exploitation by powerful individuals, who are today increasingly racialised and understood as being Black and immigrants. However, our fieldwork in Apulia and Sicily uncovered a more complicated picture. This article considers a variety of sources to explore how caporalato is constructed and to what effect. Our argument is that, though rooted in real dynamics, caporalato is also a reductive, sensationalised, and racialising framing device that transposes historic tenets of Italy's ‘Southern Question’ onto ‘othered’ migrant workers. It affects policy by creating categories of people who are made ‘illegal’ and ‘deportable’. In also reinforcing derogatory stereotypes about the Italian South, it makes visible further South(s) of the Italian South(s) – offering insight into how and where borders are created and what their effects are.
Does interstate conflict affect attitudes towards domestic minorities? Evidence from India
Authors: Clary Christopher , Lalwani Sameer , Siddiqui Niloufer , Sircar Neelanjan 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In multiethnic societies, domestic minority groups are frequently associated with external adversaries. In such situations, external confrontations may potentially exacerbate internal ethnic conflict by increasing intolerance toward the domestic minority. Alternatively, they may result in rallying the public around a common superordinate national identity. We examine the case of India, which has a long-running rivalry with Muslim-majority Pakistan. Through a large (n = 7052) survey experiment, we find little evidence that a hypothetical crisis with Pakistan worsens attitudes toward India's large Muslim minority. Instead, we find that such a crisis may improve intergroup cohesion within India, improving tolerance towards Muslim minorities.
Cold-water coral Dendrophyllia ramea as a habitat-forming species in shallow coastal waters: its role in a vulnerable ecosystem and anthropogenic impacts
Authors: Estévez Rocío M. , Palacios Marina , Cervera Juan Lucas , González-Duarte Manuel M. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The importance of habitat-forming species, particularly cold-water corals like Dendrophyllia ramea, cannot be overstated as they provide crucial physical structures that offer shelter, food, and breeding habitat for a range of other species. We studied the spatial distribution and abundance of D. ramea, its associated species and the impact of human activities in a population of the Herradura, Granada in the western Mediterranean. Video transects were conducted at different depths, and epibiont samples were collected to describe the coral assemblage and the diversity of associated organisms. Dendrophyllia ramea presented high abundances at an unusually shallow depth in the Mediterranean, ranging from 30 to 48 m, despite typically being found between 50 and 500 m, with recordings indicating occurrences as deep as 1000 m, and hosting a high number of epibionts and macro-benthic organisms associated with coral reefs. Bryozoans showed a close relationship with D. ramea as they are important components of both the reef and the epibiont community. This study identified 63 new species and 15 new genera associated with cold-water corals. This study showed the importance of D. ramea as a nursery site, even for other habitat-forming species. The major threat to this community is human activity (fishing, littering and free anchoring), with the most abundant types of waste being rubber, glass/ceramics, and plastic polymers, and many fishing lines and nets damaging the corals. Overall, this study emphasises the urgent need to protect cold-water corals and their associated species and reduce the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Trophic competition among top predators is also influenced by environmental variability. However, the magnitude of the changes in contrasting events such as El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is poorly studied. The stomach contents of striped marlin (Kajikia audax), blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), and dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) were analysed. We included the ENSO effect on the diet because we analysed organisms captured during 2010–2011 and 2014–2015, periods that, according to the Ocean Niño Index, were defined as the cold phase (CP) and warm phase (WP), respectively. Trophic diversity, feeding habits and strategy, trophic position (TP), trophic niche amplitude, and diet overlap were calculated. It was found that, despite a wide trophic spectrum, all three species were specialist predators in both phases. The most important prey species during both phases for striped marlin was Dosidicus gigas, while Auxis spp. was the most important prey of blue marlin. Dolphinfish fed mainly on Oxyporhamphus micropterus during the CP and Pleuroncodes planipes during the WP. Our results indicated that during both ENSO phases, all species maintained a trophic position similar to previous reports for the study area. However, for striped marlin, these differences were significant. Greater trophic competition was found during the CP (seven prey taxa shared) than in the WP (three prey taxa shared). These species often share the same environment, but their preference for feeding on different prey makes them occupy different trophic spaces, an aspect that allows their coexistence in time and space.
First sighting of Streptosyllis nunezi (Polychaeta: Syllidae) in the German Bight, SE North Sea

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Long-term marine monitoring programmes have provided numerous quantitative data on the composition of North Sea benthic communities and their changes over time, including species introductions. Particularly in the German Bight, the rapid environmental and hydrographical changes are promoting the spreading (usually anthropogenically mediated) of neobiota, with more than 150 species being registered to date. During routine seafloor monitoring, grab samples taken on the subtidal sandbank of the Borkum Reef Ground revealed the presence of the polychaete Streptosyllis nunezi in different years, a species previously unreported in the southern North Sea. In this paper, these individuals are described morphologically and the population status is discussed. Our finding demonstrates the importance of intensive and regular environmental monitoring programmes for the assessment of regional biodiversity and its potential changes.
From where I belong: using mitochondrial DNA analysis to investigate the origin of a white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) captured in Indonesian waters
Authors: O'Connell C. P. , Prasetyo A. P. , Stewart M. , Fahmi  
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In 2013 and 2019, two separate encounters with a white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) were documented within Indonesian waters. Of particular importance was ca. 6.0 m male C. carcharias that was captured in Lombok, Indonesia in 2013, where an upper lateral tooth was retained. Using the D-loop sequences of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) associated with this captured white shark, the mtDNA was compared to the available mtDNA sequences in GenBank® associated with the Northwest Pacific and Australian (i.e. Southern-Western and Eastern) C. carcharias subpopulations to determine its point of origin. Results from the mtDNA analyses suggest that the point of origin for this captured C. carcharias is from one of the Australian subpopulations. When compared to primary literature, this migration presents a northerly range extension for this species; however, since it is unclear what Australian subpopulation this shark was from it is uncertain what subpopulation this range extension applies to. Although C. carcharias presence within Indonesian waters is likely a rare occurrence, being that Indonesia represents the largest shark fin exporter in the world, the utilization of these waters and potential unsustainable exploitation poses a definitive threat to this highly migratory top predator. Therefore, further research investigating the purpose and site fidelity of C. carcharias within these waters is critical to future multijurisdictional protection of this top predator.
Unpacking the contextualities of behavioural public policy: a case study of the Peruvian Nudge unit MineduLAB
Authors: Ñañez Paola , Decuypere Mathias , Hartong Sigrid 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Governments around the world have increasingly adopted behavioural public policies, in which behavioural insights units (often designated as ‘Nudge units’) play an increasingly important role. Such units are typically assigned with implementing behavioural insights in various social policy fields. However, research on the contextual specificities of Nudge units is still scarce. This article addresses that gap by providing an in-depth qualitative study of MineduLAB, a Nudge unit active within the Peruvian Ministry of Education. Informed by an interpretive approach, our analysis shows that the behavioural insights that MineduLAB makes use of and develops, are enacted by a unique local interplay of three different dimensions: a political-financial, an epistemic community, and a sector-specific (here: educational) dimension. Moreover, our analysis of a Nudge unit in the Global South showcases both similarities (e.g. focus on behavioural evidence and experimentation) as well as differences (e.g. the challenge of corruption; the deployment of other vocabulary with regards to behavioural insights) with the predominantly Western Nudge units that are more commonly researched. Consequently, we argue that for a profound academic evaluation of behavioural public policy and the role of Nudge units herein, it is crucial to pay close attention to their contextuality and geographical diversity.
‘Deaf people are one, as they say’: Articulating ‘deaf space’ and deaf-hearing communication in a Ugandan market
Authors: Modern Julia 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article investigates visual communication practices among members of a disabled people's organisation (DPO) in a market in Uganda. Deaf members and many of the hearing members are proficient in Ugandan Sign Language (UgSL) and use it daily. I examine three communicative settings within the market, identifying varied modes of visual communication in use, ranging from loosely conventionalised multimodal improvisation to standard UgSL. Deaf stallholders value the varied forms of linguistic community accessed through these different modes, which are complementary rather than opposing, except at key moments of tension. By combining ‘deaf space’ theory with Silverstein's distinction between speech and language communities, I link the visual communication practices of deaf and hearing marketgoers to the varying forms of solidarity that underly linguistic communities. Deaf marketgoers creatively articulate different visual communication potentialities and the communities they arise from and index, including negotiating linguistic access through strategically opposing deaf and hearing communities.
