Realization of Short-Term Fertility Intentions in a Comparative Perspective: Which Macro-Level Conditions Matter?
Authors: Spéder Zsolt , Bálint Lajos 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis is the first large-scale comparative study to search for macro-level determinants of the realization of short-term fertility intentions across European countries. Using the unique follow-up feature of the Generations and Gender Survey and adopting rigorous definitions of intentions and outcomes, it reports on the level of fulfilment and finds clear heterogeneity across European countries. Using a multilevel, multivariate approach, it examines the nature of macro-level factors that may explain differences in the realization of fertility intentions. Based on our analysis, we conclude that labour market stability (as measured by fluctuations in the unemployment rate), price stability, heavy welfare state involvement, and the dominance of certain attitudinal conditions all support the greater realization of short-term fertility intentions.

AbstractHere we review the origin, evolution, and compositional properties of Saturn’s ring moons. This class of eleven small satellites includes objects orbiting near the outer edge of the main rings (Pan, Daphnis, Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Janus, Epimetheus) and “ring-embedded” moons (Aegeon, Methone, Anthe, Pallene) orbiting inward of Enceladus and associated with either diffuse or partial rings. We discuss current formation scenarios, according to which ring moons could originate either in the main rings from accretion onto original seeds denser than the ring material, or outside the A ring from spontaneous accretion of ring particles, and then evolve outwards due to gravitational torque from the rings. Remote sensing observations of the ring moons from the Cassini mission are analyzed in the broader context of Saturn’s icy moons and main rings observations. Spectroscopic data support a compositional paradigm similar to the main rings, dominated by water ice, and smaller amounts of two separate contaminants, in the form of a UV absorber and a spectrally neutral darkening material. Global radial trends in the spectral properties of the ring moons suggest that the surface composition is significantly affected by a complex interplay of exogenous processes, among which the contamination from nearby A ring particles, meteoritic bombardment, charged particle flux, and E ring particle accumulation, depending on the corresponding magnitude at the ring moon orbital distance and exposure time. These processes modify the original composition inherited by the rings and, coupled with the fact that the surface composition is likely representative only of the ring moon outer layers, make it difficult to trace back the present composition to a given ring moon formation scenario.
Morality vs. Politics as a Framing Problem: How (Not) to Misunderstand the Fight Against Climate Change
Authors: Cíbik Matej 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis paper is guided by two research hypotheses: (1) In contemporary public discourse, many of the most urgent political problems are predominantly framed and understood in moral terms; (2) this shift in framing has far-reaching consequences, impeding our understanding of the underlying problems and their eventual solution. The two hypotheses are demonstrated using multiple examples, with the fight against climate change serving as the main case study. The moral framing (thinking in terms of individual actions, duties and obligations, blame and personal responsibility) is shown to crowd out political considerations (focused on institutions and policy), even when such moral considerations are either out of place or immaterial. Consequently, individual actions and responsibility are shown to be overemphasized in contemporary public discourse to such an extent that the viable political solutions are often discounted or overlooked.The context of the argument offered here is provided by the realism-moralism debate on the distinction between morality and politics. The ambition of the paper is to show that, regardless of their possible deeper distinction (the “distinctively political normativity”), there is a strong pragmatic case for carefully distinguishing between ethical and political theorizing. Morality and politics provide different frames, distinct interpretive frameworks that consequently give rise to contrasting solutions. Therefore, they need to be kept apart.
Complete atrioventricular canal in a dog—sounds like a final judgment but is it actually one? A case report

Published: September 2024

AbstractCongenital heart disease (CHD) is an important subset of all cardiovascular diseases in dogs. Among them, there are a number of other less commonly described congenital malformations. One of these is the atrioventricular canal, which involves a defect that has several phenotypes. This report details a case of a complete atrioventricular canal (cAVC) defect. Using Rastelli’s classification scheme, the diagnosis of a type-A cAVC defect was based on two-dimensional, contrast, and color Doppler echocardiography. Despite a severe defect that resulted in the atypical anatomy of the atrioventricular apparatus, as well as significant hemodynamic changes in the heart, the affected dog remained asymptomatic throughout the 48-month follow-up period. Due to its stable clinical condition, the decision was made not to begin pharmacological therapy. As this defect is rare in dogs, there are limited data in the literature on this condition. Therefore, in clinical practice, the management and monitoring of the patient may pose difficulties. Due to such limited data, it can be very difficult to provide a prognosis. For the above reasons, we hope that the following case will contribute valuable information for the monitoring of this kind of CHD.

AbstractAnxiety affects 14–20% of dogs. Pharmacological treatments often fail. Psychedelics have shown to be useful for anxiety and depression in humans, but their veterinary use remains unexplored. We aimed to determine the effects of low-dose 1-cyclopropionyl-d-lysergic acid diethylamide (1cp-LSD) administered in a single dose to a dog, to observe the effect and establish the safety of the substance. The patient was a 13-year-old female dog, weighing 13 kg, mixed breed, and spayed. A total of 5 µg was administered orally, equivalent to 0.38 µg/kg. The animal has had a history of separation related behavioral problems throughout her life. To objectively assess the degree of anxiety in the dog, a validated scale was utilized. The trial was scheduled at the house where the animal lives. The owner was present throughout the experience. Informed consent was obtained prior to the assay. The trial began at 12:15 p.m. on January 10, 2024, lasting for 5 and a half hours. The response to anxiety-inducing stimuli was equally anxious during the first two hours. From that point onwards, a significant change in the animal’s behavior was observed, with no signs/mild signs of anxiety. The trial concluded without any adverse effects on the animal. The patient did not show signs of having a psychedelic experience. This is the first time that a study of this nature has been conducted and reported in the canine species. 1cp-LSD proved to be safe and exerted the desired effect on the animal’s behavior, significantly reducing the patient’s anxiety.
Chemical, elemental, morphological and toxicological characteristics of traditional Indian Siddha formulation: Kasthuri Karuppu
Authors: Kannan N. , NV Anil Kumar , Balaji S. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The chemical, elemental, morphological and toxicological characteristics of organometallic formulation (Kasthuri Karuppu) were assessed using UV-spectrophotometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ICP-OES, Energy dispersive X-ray, XRD and Zeta potential. The physical properties such as size (10–80 nm), surface area (3.1 m2/g), surface charge (-36mV), and bandgap energy (3.6 eV) were correlated with reactivity. Based on the elemental distribution of Hg, As and S, the proportion favours HgS that is less toxic and reactive. There were no toxic effects of the tested formulation at concentration 60 µg/mL against normal and cancer cells (observed during 24 h). However, the increase in time duration (72 h) had lethal effects in both the cells. The developmental toxicity of the organometallic formulation was assessed in Zebrafish embryos. The safe dosage was found to be 100 µg/mL. The toxicity of the formulation in vitro and in vivo is based on the exposure time and dosage.
Single Cell Sequencing and Spatial Transcriptomics in Kidney Transplantation
Authors: Paul Rohan S. , Atkinson Carl , Malone Andrew F. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Progress in biology and medicine relies on technological advances. The ability to examine gene expression from single cells in tissues with complex architecture is now possible with the advent of single cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics methods. This review will outline how these methods have been applied to kidney transplantation and their inherent challenges and limitations.

Recent Findings
The transcriptomes of single cells can now be defined in health and disease allowing for the differences to be investigated. Advanced in situ sequencing and capture methodologies now add spatial resolution to single cell transcriptomics. However, such powerful methods bring challenges, most notably the associated computational burden that is required to make the resulting high-dimensional output data interpretable. A second challenge is that of cost. Thankfully, as with many new technologies’ costs will drop over time making these methods available to more research groups.

Summary
The sequencing and analysis of gene expression at the single cell level with spatial information retained is now feasible. These methods are major advances for biomedical research and bring huge potential with regards to the better understanding of disease at cellular and organ levels.
Beyond words: unveiling the implications of blank reviews in online rating systems
Authors: Mellinas Juan Pedro , Leoni Veronica 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study analyzes how review length relates to numerical scores on online platforms, conducting separate analyses for positive and negative comments and accounting for non-linearities in the relationship. Moreover, we consider the role played by blank reviews, i.e. those ratings without textual content, a topic that has been largely overlooked in previous works. Our findings suggest that blank reviews are positively correlated with higher scores, which has important implications for the ordering of reviews on online platforms. We propose that these results can be explained by social exchange theory, which suggests that less strict review policies could increase engagement and lead to a more balanced evaluation of establishments. This could offset the tendency of dissatisfied guests to disproportionately report negative experiences. Future studies should compare the composition of guest reviews on platforms adopting differing review policies.
Passive domestic air-conditioning using PCM modules

Published: September 2024

AbstractPassive cooling systems have garnered much attention in recent years as a sustainable and cost-effective method of regulating indoor temperatures. Phase change materials (PCM) are a promising technology for such systems, as they can store and release large amounts of thermal energy during the phase transition process while maintaining the temperature in a very specific range. In this study, we investigated the performance of a passive cooling system using PCM modules and evaluated the effect of different variables on its cooling efficiency. Several tests were conducted, varying the ambient temperature, number of plates, and PCM type to determine the optimal conditions for the system. A PCM with a melting temperature of around 22 °C was used and was compared to ice. While ice showed a larger cooling effect, the advantage of the PCM emerged with elevated ambient temperatures. Compared to ice, and due to the smaller the temperature difference ΔT between the PCM melting temperature and the ambient temperature, the cooling effect of the PCM, lasted for a significantly longer time. Moreover, increasing the number of plates proved to elongate the cooling effect, due to increasing the overall thermal storage capacity of the system. Overall, our findings suggest that a passive cooling system using PCM technology can be an effective solution for regulating indoor temperatures. However, careful consideration must be given to the choice of PCM type and melting temperature, as well as the number of plates in the system, to optimize its performance.
„Wer glaubt, lebt selig!?“ – Der Zusammenhang zwischen der Intensität des christlichen Glaubens und der Lebenszufriedenheit
Authors: Germann Lena , Rölle Daniel 
Published: September 2024

ZusammenfassungLebenszufriedenheit ist ein Thema, das jedes Individuum betrifft. Die individuell relevanten Inhalte der Lebenszufriedenheit können bei jeder Person unterschiedlich sein und vor allem verschiedene Ausprägungen besitzen. So konnten zahlreiche Studien einen Zusammenhang zwischen Lebenszufriedenheit und dem Glauben, beispielsweise an Gott, sicherstellen. Jedoch existiert bisher keine Studie, welche die verschiedenen Glaubensrichtungen getrennt voneinander untersucht. Die vorliegende, quantitative Untersuchung basiert auf einer Online-Befragung von N = 286 Teilnehmenden. Zentrales Thema des Beitrags ist es den Zusammenhang eines evangelischen Glaubens mit der Lebenszufriedenheit des Individuums zu untersuchen. Die Lebenszufriedenheit wird in persönliche und soziale Aspekte differenziert und der Glaube in fünf Dimensionen dargestellt: Orientierung an biblischen Werten, Vertrauen auf Gott, Praktizierung des Glaubens, subjektive Glaubensintensität und Gottesvorstellung. Der Zusammenhang der verschiedenen Dimensionen mit der Lebenszufriedenheit wird mittels Korrelationen und Regressionen berechnet. Diese ergeben geringe bis mittelgroße Zusammenhänge zwischen der Lebenszufriedenheit und den Dimensionen Orientierung an biblischen Werten, Vertrauen auf Gott, subjektive Glaubensintensität und Gottesvorstellung. Grundlegend zeigt sich, dass der christliche Glaube und die Lebenszufriedenheit positiv zusammenhängen.
A Transdisciplinary Analysis of the 2009 Catastrophe in Giampilieri Superiore by Land Use Evolution Over Time

Published: September 2024

Abstract
On October 1 2009 a deluge hit the Peloritani Mountains, in NE Sicily, Italy, where the rainfall data recorded 225 mm in 9 h. Giampilieri Superiore was the most affected townlet in terms of infrastructural damages and human losses (37 dead, 37 wounded, and more than 1000 evacuees). The debris flows, triggered by flash floods wreaked havoc of the urban structure. More than 200 mln € was granted to protection works for conveying water and debris flows to bypass the town. The disaster was numerically simulated by SCIDDICA (Digital Twin) with excellent approximation, and the effects of the safety installation were tested as well, proving to offer sufficient protection for the village. The Peloritani area overlooking the Ionian See flourished during the Saracen domination, whose legacy of systems of terraces, cisterns and wells guaranteed the finest water management in steep terrains, allowing a safe emplacement of watermills, around which Giampilieri and other villages developed. This hydraulic legacy has been undermined during the last decades due to lack of appropriate maintenance because of the progressive loss of the Saracen culture. It is unconceivable that subsidies on the scale granted to Giampilieri are sustainable when facing innumerable future climatic disasters. A cheaper and more viable solution is to be found, e.g., the settlement of immigrants in the area, promoting the labor-social inclusion of those persons who already possess such a Saracen culture or are willing to acquire it from the last local depositaries, according to a retro-innovation perspective and methodology.

AbstractData-Independent Acquisition (DIA) LC–MS/MS is an attractive partner for co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and affinity proteomics in general. Reducing the variability of quantitation by DIA could increase the statistical contrast for detecting specific interactors versus what has been achieved in Data-Dependent Acquisition (DDA). By interrogating affinity proteomes featuring both DDA and DIA experiments, we sought to evaluate the spectral libraries, the missingness of protein quantity tables, and the CV of protein quantities in six studies representing three different instrument manufacturers. We examined four contemporary bioinformatics workflows for DIA: FragPipe, DIA-NN, Spectronaut, and MaxQuant. We determined that (1) identifying spectral libraries directly from DIA experiments works well enough that separate DDA experiments do not produce larger spectral libraries when given equivalent instrument time; (2) experiments involving mock pull-downs or IgG controls may feature such indistinct signals that contemporary software will struggle to quantify them; (3) measured CV values were well controlled by Spectronaut and DIA-NN (and FragPipe, which implements DIA-NN for the quantitation step); and (4) when FragPipe builds spectral libraries and quantifies proteins from DIA experiments rather than performing both operations in DDA experiments, the DIA route results in a larger number of proteins quantified without missing values as well as lower CV for measured protein quantities.

) is a well-established solid-state electrolyte, renowned for its high ionic conductivity and excellent chemical stability, rendering it a promising candidate for solid-state batteries. However, the intricate influence of ion doping on their performance has been a central focus of research, with existing studies often lacking comprehensive evaluation methods. This study introduces a deep-learning-based approach to efficiently evaluate ion-doped NASICON materials. We developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model capable of predicting the performance of various ion-doped NASICON compounds by leveraging extensive datasets from prior experimental investigation. The model demonstrated high accuracy and efficiency in predicting ionic conductivity and electrochemical properties. Key findings include the successful synthesis and validation of three NASICON materials predicted by the model, with experimental results closely matching the model’s predictions. This research not only enhances the understanding of ion-doping effects in NASICON materials but also establishes a robust framework for material design and practical applications. It bridges the gap between theoretical predictions and experimental validations.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe sustainability of grazed rangelands can be improved by adopting innovative management practices that enhance the ecological resilience, productivity, and long-term viability of rangeland ecosystems. This study applied a bivariate Multiple Indicator–Multiple Causation model to examine how landowner characteristics are associated with their perceptions concerning patch-burn grazing (PBG) and mixed-species grazing (MSG). Data were collected through a mail survey of landowners in the Southern Great Plains who own at least 100 acres. The significant and positive correlation between PBG and MSG suggests that their relative preference tends to change together, potentially allowing them to complement when implemented together.
Aerial, Surface, and Subsurface Multimodal Mapping in Coastal Peru
Authors: Golay Lausanne Kayla , Chicoine David , Navarro Vega Jeisen , Lau George F. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTThis article describes a series of steps to integrate multiple modes of archaeological mapping in arid and agricultural settings. We use the coastal region of Peru as a case study and share our recent field experience at Cerro San Isidro, a multicomponent hill site located in the agriculture-intensive and mid-elevation (about 500 m asl) Moro region of the Nepeña Valley. In June and July 2022, we spent eight weeks deploying a combination of drone aerial imagery, pedestrian GPS reconnaissance, and GPR survey to map the surface and subsurface features at the site and in the adjacent agricultural fields. Our efforts suggest that the ancient settlement extended over an area of at least 50 ha, well beyond the visible surface architecture. Using a multimodal approach to confirming the partial destruction of archaeological vestiges by modern agricultural encroachment is both time-effective and noninvasive. The article offers insights from our experience, including the sequence of field operations, technical troubleshooting, and the collection and integration of datasets. We discuss the methodological potential and implications of this combination of multimodal mapping and its deployment in coastal Peru, a region that, like many others in the world, is increasingly subject to rapid agricultural expansion and other anthropogenic developments.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The gastrointestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in host nutrition and health. While culture-independent techniques have advanced microbial research, they often overlook low-abundance bacteria in the microbial community. Furthermore, empirical studies and mechanistic research rely on bacterial isolates obtained through culturing. The introduction of culturomics in 2012 significantly advanced culture-dependent techniques, contributing to microbial research. However, these methods remain labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly, similar to traditional culture methods. This review provides an overview of the contributions of culturomics, summarizes procedures for optimizing sample and culture processes, and offers guidance on utilizing metagenomic data to enhance culturomics workflows. By collating and synthesizing these developments, this review aims to provide valuable insights into improving the practicality and productivity of culturomics for capturing gastrointestinal bacterial communities.
