Published: July 2024

AbstractIn arid climates, conventional water resources are severely limited and stressed in the face of rapid population growth and future climate change. So, it is necessary to find alternative non-conventional water resources for use in drought situations. Additionally, the non-conventional water resources in these areas are not sufficient to meet future water demand. Therefore, non-conventional water resources can be adopted as a strategic reserve to bridge the gap between water supply and demand in case of emergency and drought events. These resources might include rainwater harvesting, treated wastewater, and desalinated seawater. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) can be applied to store these resources in the hydrogeological system using Geo information System—Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) approach for determining the suitable MAR location for storage. North-west Kingdom of Saudi Arabia area was chosen for this study because it is extremely arid, has high potential for social and economic development, and it has newly constructed non-conventional water infrastructures distributed throughout the area including water desalination plants, Tertiary Sewage Effluent (TSE) waste water plants, and flash-flood storage dams. To identify the suitable MAR site location and structure, different data related to aquifer hydrogeology, surface hydrology, hydrometeorology, and water quality were applied. Then, GIS-MCDA holistic approach was applied with aid of ordered weighting average (OWA) technique. Finally, two maps were created to show the MAR location and structure type. Potential map indicates that ~ 18.85% of the area is suitable for MAR installations. About 0.17% of the total area exhibited very high potential, where infiltration ponds can be applied, 1.86% had high potential for construction of check dams with diversion channels, and 16.82% had moderate potential for installation of recharge wells. Additionally, 56 MAR structures were proposed and a map showing their locations has been created. Thus, results indicated that the study area is promising for MAR installation. These maps could aid the decision makers to propose a sustainable development plan for the future water resources of the area.
Future land use/land cover and its impacts on ecosystem services: case of Aydın, Turkey
Authors: Ersoy Tonyaloğlu E. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper aims to reveal the impacts of land use/land cover changes on ecosystem services and to guide sustainable development decisions by modelling the future land use/land cover pattern and its ecosystem services in the case of Aydın province, Turkey. In this context, the study examined land use/land cover changes in Aydın province, predicted future land use/land cover patterns with three scenarios (natural development, ecosystem service-based development, and economy-based development) using the PLUS model, and determined the impact of land use/land cover changes on InVEST generated carbon storage and habitat quality ecosystem services. The key drivers of land use/land cover change in Aydın were agricultural expansion, the transformation of different vegetation types into each other, and, even on a small scale, urbanization. The study revealed that changes in the spatial pattern of land use/land cover types, together with the effect of changing vegetation patterns, have a significant impact on carbon storage and habitat quality. While reductions in shrubland and forests were detrimental, transformations from openspaces to them, particularly at their boundaries, enhanced the capacity of carbon storage and habitat quality. On the other hand, even though the scenarios of ecosystem service-based development and economy-based development were based on the economic value of ecosystem services and the value of products/services obtained from different land use/land cover types, respectively, the ecosystem service-based development scenario was characterized by more effective land use/land cover management in terms of maximizing both the economic and ecological benefits. This highlights the significance and emerging need for prioritizing ecological considerations in urban planning.

Authors: Cheatle Martin D. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Chronic pain and substance use disorders (SUDs) are both common conditions worldwide and produce major social, economic, and human costs. Individuals coping with chronic pain and comorbid SUD may experience high rates of stress, isolation, functional decline, and depression, and many have a high risk of suicide. The purpose of this narrative review is to highlight the hidden epidemic of suicide among individuals with pain and concomitant SUD, outline unique risk factors in this patient population, and discuss evidence-based pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions to mitigate suicide risk.

Recent Findings
The prevalence of suicidal ideation among patients with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) is significant, ranging from 20 to 50%. It has been estimated that 40% of patients seeking treatment for SUDs report a history of suicide attempts. Risk factors for suicide in populations with CNCP pain include pain intensity and type, sleep disturbance, opioid prescribing patterns and opioid tapering. Evidence-based pharmacologic treatments include antidepressant medications, antiepileptic drugs and more novel drugs such as ketamine and buprenorphine. Non-pharmacologic approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance commitment therapy, have shown efficacy in improving mood, sleep and function.

Summary
There is a high rate of suicide among individuals with CNCP and SUDs. Identifying unique contributing factors for suicide among this vulnerable patient population can inform effective interventions to reduce the risk of suicide.

AbstractLithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) with high energy density are a promising advanced energy storage technology. However, the slow cathodic redox kinetics during cycling causes the discharge products to fail to decompose in time, resulting in large polarization and battery failure in a short time. Therefore, a self-supporting interconnected nanosheet array network NiCo2O4/MnO2 with a Mott–Schottky heterostructure on titanium paper (TP-NCO/MO) is ingeniously designed as an efficient cathode catalyst material for LOBs. This heterostructure can accelerate electron transfer and influence the charge transfer process during adsorption of intermediate by triggering the interface disturbance at the heterogeneous interface, thus accelerating oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution kinetics and regulating product decomposition, which is expected to solve the above problems. The meticulously designed unique structural advantages enable the TP-NCO/MO cathode catalyst to exhibit an astounding ultra-long cycle life of 800 cycles and an extraordinarily low overpotential of 0.73 V. This study utilizes a simple method to cleverly regulate the morphology of the discharge products by constructing a Mott–Schottky heterostructure, providing important reference for the design of efficient catalysts aimed at optimizing the adsorption of reaction intermediates.
Willingness to Reduce Animal Product Consumption: Exploring the Role of Environmental, Animal, and Health Motivations, Selfishness, and Animal-oriented Empathy

Published: July 2024

AbstractIncreasing the willingness to reduce animal product consumption has the potential to contribute to ameliorating the impact of animal agriculture on the environment, as well as foster healthier diets and improve the lives of farmed and wild animals. Reduction of animal product consumption is a prosocial behaviour (PSB), and factors that are considered to influence it are empathy and selfishness. In this research, animal-oriented empathy examined empathy specifically for animals. Animal oriented empathy and three types of selfishness: adaptive, egoistic, and pathological were measured to determine if they could predict willingness to reduce animal product consumption. PSB is also influenced by motivations and motivations can lead to willingness. The three most common motivations to reduce animal product consumption: animal welfare, the environment, and health were examined to determine whether they predict willingness. A sample of 492 Australian adults completed questionnaires via the Zoho survey platform, and the data underwent a hierarchical regression. Higher pathological selfishness predicted a greater willingness to reduce animal product consumption, as did environmental and animal welfare motivations. However, higher health motivation predicted a lower willingness to reduce animal product consumption. Interpretation of the perplexing results in relation to pathological selfishness suggested further research. The practical value of utilising environmental and animal motivations to increase willingness to reduce animal products whilst bringing attention to the health issues was also discussed.

AbstractWater stress is a critical abiotic stress factor with profound implications for agricultural productivity and global food security. This research explores the complex relationships between water stress and the application of nitrogen fertilizer in two-row and six-row barley genotypes with the aim of comprehending their performance and mechanisms for responding to stress. The study was performed over two years, employing a randomized complete block design with varying irrigation levels, nitrogen treatments, and barley genotypes. The results showed significant differences in various agro-morphological, physiological and biochemical traits between the two-row and six-row barley genotypes under different conditions. Water stress led to significant decreases in grain yield, shoot dry weight, leaf area index, and relative water content across all genotypes. It also caused an increase in electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde content, and hydrogen peroxide levels, indicative of cellular membrane damage and oxidative stress. However, antioxidant enzyme activities such as glutathione peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and catalase, along with DPPH radical scavenging activity, escalated as a defense response. Furthermore, nitrogen fertilizer application generally enhanced grain yield and shoot dry weight while decreasing oxidative stress indicators. However, under water stress conditions, nitrogen application exacerbated the negative effects of water stress, leading to reduced crop yield and stress resistance. As a result, this study emphasizes the critical role of genotype selection and proper use of nitrogen fertilizer application in optimizing the performance of two-row and six-row barley crops under different humidity conditions.

AbstractCoastal ecosystems are an important region for biogeochemical cycling, are a hotspot of anthropogenic disturbance and play a crucial role in global carbon cycling through the metabolic activities of bacterioplankton. Bacterioplankton can be broadly classified into two lifestyles: free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA). However, how coastal bacterioplankton the community structure, co-occurrence networks and carbon metabolic functions with different lifestyles are differentiated is still largely unknown. Understanding these processes is necessary to better determine the contributions of coastal bacterioplankton to carbon cycling. Here, the characteristics of community structure and carbon metabolism function of bacterioplankton with two lifestyles in the coastal areas of Guangdong Province were investigated using amplicon sequencing, metagenomic, and metatranscriptomic techniques. The results show that the main bacterioplankton responsible for carbon metabolism were the Pseudomonadota, Bacteroidota, and Actinomycetota. The microbial community structure, carbon metabolic function, and environmental preferences differ between different lifestyles. FL and PA bacteria exhibited higher carbon fixation and degradation potentials, respectively. A range of environmental factors, such as dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature, were associated with the community structure and carbon metabolic functions of the bacterioplankton. Human activities, such as nutrient discharge, may affect the distribution of functional genes and enhance the carbon degradation functions of bacterioplankton. In conclusion, this study increased the understanding of the role of microorganisms in regulating carbon export in coastal ecosystems with intense human activity.
An approach to sociotechnical transparency of social media algorithms using agent-based modelling

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe recommendation algorithms on social media platforms are hugely impactful, they shape information flow and human connection on an unprecedented scale. Despite growing criticism of the social impact of these algorithms, they are still opaque and transparency is an ongoing challenge. This paper has three contributions: (1) We introduce the concept of sociotechnical transparency. This can be defined as transparency approaches that consider both the technical system, and how it interacts with users and the environment in which it is deployed. We propose sociotechnical approaches will improve the understanding of social media algorithms for policy-makers and the public. (2) We present an approach to sociotechnical transparency using agent-based modelling, which overcomes a number of challenges with existing approaches. This is a novel application of agent-based modelling to provide transparency into how the recommendation algorithm prioritises different curation signals for a topic. (3) This agent-based model has a novel implementation of a multi-objective recommendation algorithm that is calibrated and empirically validated with data collected from X, previously Twitter. We show that agent-based modelling can provide useful insights into how the recommendation algorithm prioritises different curation signals. We can begin to explore whether the priorities of the recommendation algorithm align with what platforms say it is doing and whether they align with what the public want.

AbstractElectrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) to value-added products is regarded as a sustainable strategy to mitigate global warming and energy crisis, and designing highly efficient and robust catalysts is essential. In this work, transition metal sulfides (TMS)-decorated CuS microflower-like structures were prepared via the one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method for ECR to CO, and the influence of TMS doping on ECR performance was demonstrated. Characterization of the catalysts was performed using XRD, FESEM-EDS, N2 physisorption, and XPS, revealing the successful loading of TMS, the formation of microflower-like architectures and the generation of sulfur vacancies. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that doping ZnS, Bi2S3, CdS and MoS2 improved the intrinsic CO2 reduction activity of the CuS catalyst. Particularly, the MoS2-CuS composite catalyst with imperfect petal-like structure showed uniform distribution of edge Mo sites, which worked synergistically with the formed grain boundaries (GBs) and undercoordinated S vacancy sites in promoting CO2 activation, stabilizing *COOH adsorption, facilitating *CO desorption, and lowering the energy barrier of the potential-limiting step for improved CO selectivity. The MoS2-CuS catalyst achieved a maximum CO selectivity of 83.2% at –0.6 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a high CO cathodic energetic efficiency of 100%. At this potential, the catalyst maintained stable catalytic activity and CO selectivity during a 333-min electrolysis process. The findings will offer a promising avenue for the development of efficient and stable catalysts for CO production from ECR.

AbstractAs sessile organisms, plants constantly face a variety of abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and metal/metalloid toxicity, all of which possess significant threats to plant growth and yield potential. Improving plant resilience to such abiotic stresses bears paramount importance in practicing sustainable agriculture worldwide. Acetic acid/acetate has been recognized as an important metabolite with multifaceted roles in regulating plant adaptation to diverse abiotic stresses. Recent studies have elucidated that acetic acid can potentiate plants’ inherent mechanisms to withstand the adverse effects of abiotic stresses through the regulation of lipid metabolism, hormone signaling, epigenetic changes, and physiological defense mechanisms. Numerous studies also underpin the potential use of acetic acid in boosting crop production under unfavorable environmental conditions. This review provides a comprehensive update on the understanding of how acetic acid regulates plant photosynthesis, acts as an antitranspirant, detoxifies reactive oxygen species to alleviate oxidative stress, interacts with phytohormones to regulate physiological processes, and improves soil fertility and microbial diversity, with a specific focus on drought, salinity, and metal toxicity. We also highlight the eco-friendly and economic potential of acetic acid that may attract farmers from developing countries to harness the benefits of acetic acid application for boosting abiotic stress resistance in crops. Given that acetic acid is a widely accessible, inexpensive, and eco-friendly compound, the revelation of acetic acid-mediated regulatory pathways and its crosstalk with other signaling molecules will have significant importance in developing a sustainable strategy for mitigating abiotic stresses in crops.

AbstractProto-oncogenic MYC is frequently dysregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC). In the past decades, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators in cancers, acting as scaffolds, molecular decoys, post-transcriptional regulators, and others. Interestingly, lncRNAs are able to control MYC expression both at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. It is suggested that the reciprocal interaction of MYC and lncRNAs often occurs in CRC. MYC can affect the cell fate by promoting or inhibiting the transcription of some lncRNAs. At the same time, some lncRNAs can also affect MYC expression or transcriptional activity, and in turn decide the cell fate. In this review we summarized the current knowledge about the MYC and lncRNA axis, focusing on its mutual regulation, roles in CRC, and proposed potential therapeutic prospects for CRC treatment.

Published: July 2024

AbstractGene expression is regulated by changes in chromatin architecture intrinsic to cellular differentiation and as an active response to environmental stimuli. Chromatin dynamics are a major driver of phenotypic diversity, regulation of development, and manifestation of disease. Remarkably, we know little about the evolutionary dynamics of chromatin reorganisation through time, data essential to characterise the impact of environmental stress during the ongoing biodiversity extinction crisis (20th–21st century). Linking the disparate fields of chromatin biology and museum science through their common use of the preservative formaldehyde (a constituent of formalin), we have generated historical chromatin profiles in museum specimens up to 117 years old. Historical chromatin profiles are reproducible, tissue-specific, sex-specific, and environmental condition-dependent in vertebrate specimens. Additionally, we show that over-fixation modulates differential chromatin accessibility to enable semi-quantitative estimates of relative gene expression in vertebrates and a yeast model. Our approach transforms formalin-fixed biological collections into an accurate, comprehensive, and global record of environmental impact on gene expression and phenotype.
Structural basis of tRNA recognition by the widespread OB fold
Authors: Umuhire Juru Aline , Ghirlando Rodolfo , Zhang Jinwei 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe widespread oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB)-fold recognizes diverse substrates from sugars to nucleic acids and proteins, and plays key roles in genome maintenance, transcription, translation, and tRNA metabolism. OB-containing bacterial Trbp and yeast Arc1p proteins are thought to recognize the tRNA elbow or anticodon regions. Here we report a 2.6 Å co-crystal structure of Aquifex aeolicus Trbp111 bound to tRNAIle, which reveals that Trbp recognizes tRNAs solely by capturing their 3′ ends. Structural, mutational, and biophysical analyses show that the Trbp/EMAPII-like OB fold precisely recognizes the single-stranded structure, 3′ terminal location, and specific sequence of the 3′ CA dinucleotide — a universal feature of mature tRNAs. Arc1p supplements its OB – tRNA 3′ end interaction with additional contacts that involve an adjacent basic region and the tRNA body. This study uncovers a previously unrecognized mode of tRNA recognition by an ancient protein fold, and provides insights into protein-mediated tRNA aminoacylation, folding, localization, trafficking, and piracy.
