AbstractThe Lower Pliocene to upper Middle Pleistocene continental sedimentary infillings of the Baza Basin (Guadix-Baza Depression, SE Spain) are worldwide unique by their high stratigraphic completeness and exceptional preservation of their fossil record of terrestrial vertebrates. These sediments were deposited in fluvio-lacustrine environments and preserve huge assemblages of large mammals, including the oldest evidence of hominin presence in Western Europe at the late Lower Pleistocene sites of Barranco León and Fuente Nueva-3, dated to ∼1.4 Ma. Since latest Miocene times, the basin was subject to intense tectonic activity, showing sedimentary deposits originated from ancient hot springs. These hot springs were developed in a spatio-temporal network related to tectonic fractures, showing a higher concentration in the Orce sub-basin during Late Pliocene to Holocene times. Compositional analyses of cherts and other facies associated with these hot springs show geochemical and mineralogical markers linked to hydrothermal scenarios. The contribution of hot springs in the Baza Basin resulted in rich and productive biotopes, which supported a high diversity and biomass of terrestrial mammals. Similar geological, hydrochemical and ecological environments are found along hotspot lines in East Africa, the Levantine Corridor and the circum-Mediterranean realm. We hypothesize here that the presence of these hot springs corridors favored the dispersal of hominins and other large mammals during the Plio-Pleistocene, which led to the first hominin arrival in Europe.
The Living Library: a process-based tool for open literature review, probing the boundaries of open science
Authors: Angerer Elisabeth , Burke Maura Cassidy , Dirks Simon , Bakker Arthur , Bilinski Torres Aitana , Pieters Toine 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The Living Library is a novel tool for opening the scientific process of literature reviewing. We here present its core features, set-up and workflow, and provide the open-source code via GitHub (https://github.com/Simon-Dirks/living-library). The Living Library allows researchers to sort articles thematically and temporally, has a built-in open logbook, and uses a responsive methodology. These core features render the Living Library both a practical tool, and an educative framework for reflection on the research process. Its use deepened our understanding of what it means and what it takes to open science, which we summarise in three main lessons: openness is multidirectional, involving sharing and receiving; openness is relational and as such requires boundary work; and openness entails judgments of relevance. This highlights the intimate connection between research relevance and open science: Opening science is no categorical practice, but the continuous syncing to a world in motion—opening up for it and to it, to varying degrees at different boundaries, in response to what is happening and what matters. The Living Library models what such syncing can look like in relation to the evolving academic conversation. We encourage further experimentation with the Living Library to probe the boundaries of open science.
A reflective practice on difficult communication: an obstetrician’s perspective on birth plan versus birth preferences
Authors: Mohan Retika , Abdalla Mena 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Background
Effective communication remains challenging for healthcare professionals, especially obstetricians, during patient interactions. Obstetric care often involves navigating the delicate balance between birth plans and patient preferences, which can lead to complexities and emotional challenges.

Results
The findings of this reflection reveal that rigid birth plans can result in disappointment when childbirth deviates from expectations. To address this, the article advocates for a shift towards promoting flexible birth preferences that align with individual needs and acknowledge the unpredictability of childbirth. Effective communication is emphasized, with a particular focus on the “NURSE” approach (Naming, Understanding, Respecting, Supporting, and Exploring), which plays a pivotal role in building trust and addressing patients’ emotions.

Conclusion
Enhanced communication training for healthcare professionals is essential in obstetrics. Antenatal counseling should prioritize the exploration of patient preferences, empowering individuals to actively participate in their care decisions. Moreover, healthcare institutions should foster open dialogue and collaboration between patients and care providers, creating a supportive environment that aligns care with expectations, ultimately leading to positive childbirth experiences. Healthcare institutions should actively promote open dialogue and collaboration between patients and care providers to enhance the quality of obstetric care.

Published: September 2024

AbstractWinter planting is promising for improving the utilization rate of fallow paddy fields in southern China by establishing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities. However, the effects of different winter forage crops on AMF community construction remain unknown. The AMF community establishment of different winter planting forage crops were conducted in oat, rye, Chinese milk vetch, and ryegrass, with winter fallow as a control. The AMF colonization rate, soil AMF spore density, community structure and diversity, and soil physicochemical properties were determined. The results showed that the total nitrogen and available nitrogen in winter Chinese milk vetch were 11.11% and 16.92% higher than those in winter fallow (P < 0.05). After planting winter forage crops, the AMF spore density in winter oat, rye, Chinese milk vetch, and ryegrass soil were 127.90%, 64.37%, 59.91%, and 73.62% higher than that before planting, respectively (P < 0.05). Claroideoglomus was the dominant AMF genus in the soil of winter planting oat, rye, and ryegrass. The average membership function value of winter Chinese milk vetch was the highest, indicating that it had the best comprehensive effect on soil physicochemical properties, AMF community structure and diversity, and fresh forage yield. Winter forage crops could increase the spore pool of soil AMF and improve the soil AMF community structure and diversity. Winter Chinese milk vetch in paddy field had the best comprehensive effect on soil physicochemical properties and soil AMF community according to the comprehensive evaluation. These findings provide a theoretical basis for sustainable development and utilization of the southern rice paddy ecosystem.
Does Disaster Severity Have a Long-Term Effect on Survivors’ Disaster Preparedness? A Survey a Decade after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in China
Authors: Xu Yang , Wei Jianwen , Han Yang , Zhao Yandong 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objectives:
Disaster experiences have long-term effects on disaster preparedness. This study examined the long-term (10-y) effect of disaster severity of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake on survivors’ disaster preparedness and the moderating effects of household vulnerability.

Methods:
The data were collected in January 2018 covering 30 counties in Wenchuan earthquake-stricken areas. The dependent variable was survivors’ disaster preparedness (including overall, material, knowledge and awareness, and action preparedness) in 2018. Disaster severity included survivors’ housing damage and county death rate caused by the earthquake in 2008. Household vulnerability is a set of conditions that negatively affects the ability of people to prepare for and withstand disaster, proxied by households’ per-capita income and the highest years of schooling of household members. We performed multivariable linear regression models to answer the research questions.

Results:
A higher county death rate was associated with better overall preparedness (β = 0.043; P < 0.05) and knowledge and awareness preparedness (β = 0.018; P < 0.05), but housing damage was not significantly associated with disaster preparedness. The positive association of county death rate with overall preparedness (β = −0.065; P < 0.05) becomes weaker when a household has a higher per-capita income. Also, with the household per-capita income increasing, the associations of county death rate with material preparedness (β = −0.037; P < 0.05) and action preparedness (β = −0.034; P < 0.01) become weaker.

Conclusions:
Disaster severity has positive and long-term effects on survivors’ disaster preparedness. Also, the positive and long-term effects are affected by household vulnerability. Specifically, the positive and long-term effects of disaster severity on disaster preparedness are more substantial when a household is more vulnerable.

Deformational rigidity of integrable metrics on the torus
Authors: HENHEIK JOSCHA 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIt is conjectured that the only integrable metrics on the two-dimensional torus are Liouville metrics. In this paper, we study a deformative version of this conjecture: we consider integrable deformations of a non-flat Liouville metric in a conformal class and show that for a fairly large class of such deformations, the deformed metric is again Liouville. The principal idea of the argument is that the preservation of rational invariant tori in the foliation of the phase space forces a linear combination on the Fourier coefficients of the deformation to vanish. Showing that the resulting linear system is non-degenerate will then yield the claim. Since our method of proof immediately carries over to higher dimensional tori, we obtain analogous statements in this more general case. To put our results in perspective, we review existing results about integrable metrics on the torus.
The Democracy I Like: Perceptions of Democracy and Opposition to Democratic Backsliding
Authors: Kaftan Lea , Gessler Theresa 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
When democracy is under attack, the hope is often that citizens will punish undemocratic incumbents. However, recent studies show that not all citizens punish governments for their undemocratic actions. In this article, we argue that citizens' understanding of and satisfaction with democracy are sources of heterogeneous reactions. In a survey experiment conducted in Germany and Poland, we show that the importance that citizens attach to specific institutions under threat, as well as their understanding of democracy, can explain much of the variance in citizens' responses to undemocratic actions. Citizens are willing to defend what they consider important for democracy – regardless of whether this reflects theoretical conceptions of democracy. Moreover, in times of democratic backsliding, Polish ‘critical citizens’, those who are dissatisfied with the way democracy works in Poland, are more likely to punish governments for undemocratic actions. Our findings help us understand how to increase citizens' resilience against democratic backsliding.
CEO family harmony and firm product innovation performance: A moderated mediation model of the CEO–TMT interface
Authors: Kwan Ho Kwong , Wang Ying , Wu Xiangfan , Ouyang Xiulian 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In this study, we integrate work–family enrichment and upper echelons theories to examine how and when chief executive officers’ (CEOs’) family experiences impact their firms’ performance. We argue that CEO family harmony has an indirect effect on their firms’ product innovation performance through top management team (TMT) behavioral integration. Additionally, we propose that CEO founder status strengthens the effects of CEO family harmony. Our analysis of data from 101 CEOs and 458 TMT members in various high-tech industries in China indicates that the positive relationship between CEO family harmony and firms’ product innovation performance is mediated by TMT behavioral integration. Moreover, CEO founder status increases the direct effect of CEO family harmony on TMT behavioral integration and its indirect effect on firms’ product innovation performance through TMT behavioral integration. These findings have theoretical and practical implications and provide new research directions in the study of CEO family–work spillover and CEO–TMT interfaces.
Perception of emotional facial expressions in aggression and psychopathy
Authors: Stein Timo , Gehrer Nina , Jusyte Aiste , Scheeff Jonathan , Schönenberg Michael 
Published: September 2024

AbstractBackgroundAltered affective state recognition is assumed to be a root cause of aggressive behavior, a hallmark of psychopathologies such as psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder. However, the two most influential models make markedly different predictions regarding the underlying mechanism. According to the integrated emotion system theory (IES), aggression reflects impaired processing of social distress cues such as fearful faces. In contrast, the hostile attribution bias (HAB) model explains aggression with a bias to interpret ambiguous expressions as angry.MethodsIn a set of four experiments, we measured processing of fearful and angry facial expressions (compared to neutral and other expressions) in a sample of 65 male imprisoned violent offenders rated using the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R, Hare, R. D. (1991). The psychopathy checklist–revised. Toronto, ON: Multi-Health Systems) and in 60 age-matched control participants.ResultsThere was no evidence for a fear deficit in violent offenders or for an association of psychopathy or aggression with impaired processing of fearful faces. Similarly, there was no evidence for a perceptual bias for angry faces linked to psychopathy or aggression. However, using highly ambiguous stimuli and requiring explicit labeling of emotions, violent offenders showed a categorization bias for anger and this anger bias correlated with self-reported trait aggression (but not with psychopathy).ConclusionsThese results add to a growing literature casting doubt on the notion that fear processing is impaired in aggressive individuals and in psychopathy and provide support for the idea that aggression is related to a hostile attribution bias that emerges from later cognitive, post-perceptual processing stages.
Different Materialities – Different Authenticities? Considerations on Watercraft Exhibited in Museums
Authors: Schade Tobias 
Published: September 2024

AbstractMuseums are often considered to be spaces of the authentic, where the real, unique and original is exhibited, and where the accurate past is conveyed. By means of two watercraft, Nydam Boat and Kon-Tiki, it is illustrated how their materiality and authenticity are shaped by processes of musealization, reconstruction, restoration and ways of narrating the past and staging exhibits. While their substances remain present and perceptible, they are also subjected to material changes and changing perceptions over time. From a cultural constructivist perspective, it is illustrated how museum exhibits may be perceived as authentic and how this is related to their materials.

AbstractThe dynamical environment of the stratosphere, during the summer over North America, provides a natural integrator of the impact of convection in the lower stratosphere, as air can be confined for periods of a few days to more than a week. In situ data obtained during the NASA Dynamics and Chemistry of the Summer Stratosphere (DCOTSS) field campaign show increasing water vapor mixing ratios in background air as a function of time the air parcel spent within the North American Monsoon Anticyclone region. We find that water vapor added to the stratosphere by convection decreases with altitude and tends to drop below detectable limits by the 415 K isentrope in 2021 and the 430 K isentrope in 2022. Integrating between potential temperatures of 380 and 460 K we find that convection added between 20 and 32 Tg per summer to the stratosphere in 2021 and 2022. While the total amount is only 1%–4% of the amount ascending in the tropics across the tropical tropopause, small changes in the annual flux of water can have a significant effect on the radiation budget of the atmosphere. Locally, over North America we find that convection increased the water vapor mixing ratio at 380 K by as much as 40%. Tropopause‐penetrating convection is part of the yearly cycle of stratospheric water vapor and we suggest that it must be included in extratropical models to accurately predict future trends in stratospheric water vapor.

AbstractThe development of bioactive scaffolds is essential for tissue engineering because of the influence of material physicochemical properties on cellular activities. Recently, we discovered that percolation-induced 4-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels achieved gel–gel phase separation (GGPS), which has tissue affinity in vivo. However, whether the 4-arm structure is the optimal configuration for the use of PEG hydrogels as scaffolds remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of an increased branching factor on GGPS. Compared with the 4-arm PEG hydrogel, the 8-arm PEG hydrogel presented a greater degree of GGPS and increased hydrophobicity. We introduced the RGD sequence into PEG hydrogels to directly assess the biological activity of GGPS, with a particular focus on its effects on the activity of bone-forming osteoblasts. Although the 8-arm PEG hydrogel did not enhance cell adhesion, it enhanced osteoblast differentiation compared with the 4-arm PEG hydrogel. Therefore, the 8-arm PEG hydrogel mediated by GGPS shows promise as a scaffold for osteoblast differentiation and holds potential as a foundation for future advancements in bone tissue engineering.

AbstractPluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can differentiate to all germ layers and serve as an in vitro model of embryonic development. To better understand the differentiation paths traversed by ESCs committing to different lineages, we track individual differentiating ESCs by timelapse imaging followed by multiplexed high-dimensional Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) protein quantification. This links continuous live single-cell molecular NANOG and cellular dynamics quantification over 5-6 generations to protein expression of 37 different molecular regulators in the same single cells at the observation endpoints. Using this unique data set including kinship history and live lineage marker detection, we show that NANOG downregulation occurs generations prior to, but is not sufficient for neuroectoderm marker Sox1 upregulation. We identify a developmental cell type co-expressing both the canonical Sox1 neuroectoderm and FoxA2 endoderm markers in vitro and confirm the presence of such a population in the post-implantation embryo. RNASeq reveals cells co-expressing SOX1 and FOXA2 to have a unique cell state characterized by expression of both endoderm as well as neuroectoderm genes suggesting lineage potential towards both germ layers.
