Published: August 2024

AbstractIssue AddressedMunch & Move is a New South Wales (NSW) Ministry of Health program offering family day care (FDC) educators training to support children's healthy behaviours. This study examined educators' nutrition, physical activity and screen time practices and relationships between Munch & Move training and professional development (PD) on these practices.MethodsNSW FDC educators (n = 186) completed an online survey from July 2020–June 2021. Differences between groups based on Munch & Move training (trained; not trained) and PD (those who completed PD ≥1 time per year; those who completed PD <1 time per year or never) were tested using bivariate analyses.ResultsA significantly higher proportion of educators trained in Munch & Move offered information to families regarding food serving sizes, nutrition policies, and children's physical activity and screen time. Over one‐third in both groups did not meet the guideline of no screen time for children under 2 years old. Compared with those who completed PD ≥1 time per year, a significantly higher proportion of educators who completed PD <1 time per year or never did not provide families with nutrition guidelines or resources.ConclusionsEducators trained in Munch & Move, and those who completed PD more frequently, demonstrated better nutrition, physical activity and screen time practices in several areas.So What?This study demonstrated benefits of the Munch & Move program, implemented with support from Local Health District health promotion officers, and highlighted key areas for improvement in healthy practices in FDC.
Security and privacy‐aware data authentication control routing for wireless multimedia sensor networks
Authors: AlZahrani Yazeed 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIn recent years, wireless multimedia sensor networks (MWSNs) have become increasingly prevalent due to advancements in communication technology. These networks face significant challenges in ensuring security, privacy, and trust for user data, especially when handling real‐time streaming data. Resource‐constrained sensor nodes in these networks must operate efficiently over extended periods, from days to years, depending on the application. Our proposed protocol addresses these challenges by providing robust data authentication, enhancing security and privacy without compromising performance. Analysis indicates that the protocol is more energy‐efficient, accurate, and faster than existing wireless authentication protocols. Comparative evaluations demonstrate the superior performance of our model across various performance parameters, solidifying its effectiveness for MWSNs.

Published: August 2024

ZusammenfassungBei Untersuchung der Familie Apocynaceae in Vietnam konnten nachfolgend dargelegte Ergebnisse ermittelt werden. Ausgangstyp der Infloreszenz ist das Dichasium. Aus diesem Grundtyp entstehen verschiedene Entwicklungstendenzen. Oligomerisations‐ und Polymerisationserscheinungen kommen gleichzeitig vor.Das synkarpe Gynoezeum ist als Ausgangstyp zu betrachten. Aus diesem Grundtyp entsteben zwei Entwieklungsrichtungen : eine zum parakarpen und eine andere zum sekundär chorikarpen, über unvollständig chorikarpes Gynoezeum.Abhängig von der Differenzierung des Gynoezeums weist der Narbenkopf drei Entwicklungs‐stufen auf: kaum morphologisch differenziert – einfach differenziert – reich differenziert.Korrelativ mit der Differenzierung des Gynoezeums finden sich die Antheren der Apocynaceae in drei Entwicklungsstufen. Sie weisen Unterschiede im Bau und in der Fertilität auf.Im Zusammenhang mit der Antheronform zeigen die Antheren zweifache Beziehungen zum Narbenkopf: Entweder sind sie mit dem Narbenkopf fest verbunden oder sie sind frei. Dabei sind die Sippen, deren Antheren koine Verbindung mit dem Narbenkopf haben, als primitiv zu betraehten.Abhängig von der Differenzierung des Gynóezeums weist die Fruchtbildung zwei Entwicklungs‐tendenzen auf: synkarp zu parakarp – synkarp zu sekundär chorikarp.Die Ausbildung des Samens zeigt enge Korrelation mit der Entwicklung der Frucht. Sie geht von ohne Arillus und ohne Flugapparat zu solchen mit Haarschopf.Auf Grund der morphologischen Merkmalsanalyse wird die Familie Apocynaceae in 4 Subfamilien mit 15 Triben gegliedert. Die Gliederung wird in der Arbeit dargestellt.Erstmals wurde die Familie Apocynaceae in Vietnam (47 Gattungen mit 171 Arten) revidiert. Davon sind 47 Arten erstmals in der Flora Vietnams nachgewiesen. Von ihnen sind 20 Arten neu beschrieben worden. Zahlreiche Korrekturen in der Nomenklatur wurden durchgeführt. 162 von 171 Arten wurden abgebildet. Einzelne Ergebnisse wurden in 17 Arbeiten publiziert.Die möglichen Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen zwischen den Gattungen innerhalb der Familie Apocynaceae in Vietnam werden dargestellt.

AbstractInflammation and autoimmune responses contribute to the pathophysiology of Long COVID, and its affective and chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms, labeled “the physio‐affective phenome.” To investigate whether Long COVID and its physio‐affective phenome are linked to autoimmunity to the tight junction proteins, zonulin and occludin (ZOOC), and immune reactivity to lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and whether the latter are associated with signs of human herpes virus‐6 (HHV‐6) reactivation, autoimmunity directed against oligodendrocyte and neuronal proteins, including myelin basic protein. IgA/IgM/IgG responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), HHV‐6, ZOOC, and neuronal proteins, C‐reactive protein (CRP), and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), were measured in 90 Long COVID patients and 90 healthy controls. The physio‐affective phenome was conceptualized as a factor extracted from physical and affective symptom domains. Neural network identified IgA directed to LPS (IgA‐LPS), IgG‐ZOOC, IgG‐LPS, and IgA‐ZOOC as important variables associated with Long COVID diagnosis with an area under the ROC curve of 0.755. Partial Least Squares analysis showed that 40.9% of the variance in the physio‐affective phenome was explained by CRP, IgA‐myelin basic protein (MBP), and IgG‐MBP. A large part of the variances in both autoimmune responses to MBP (36.3%–39.7%) was explained by autoimmunity (IgA and IgG) directed to ZOOC. The latter was strongly associated with indicants of HHV‐6 reactivation, which in turn was associated with increased IgM‐SARS‐CoV‐2. Autoimmunity against components of the tight junctions and increased bacterial translocation may be involved in the pathophysiology of Long COVID's physio‐affective phenome.

Published: August 2024

AbstractCellular senescence, one of the hallmarks of cancer, is characterized by cell cycle arrest and the loss of most normal cellular functions while acquiring a hypersecretory, proinflammatory phenotype. The function of senescent cells in cancer cells varies depending on the cellular conditions. Before the occurrence of cancer, senescent cells act as a barrier to prevent its development. But once cancer has occurred, senescent cells play a procancer role. However, few of the current studies have adequately explained the diversity of cellular senescence across cancers. Herein, we concluded the latest intrinsic mechanisms of cellular senescence in detail and emphasized the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype as a key contributor to heterogeneity of senescent cells in tumor. We also discussed five kinds of inducers of cellular senescence and the advancement of senolytics in cancer, which are drugs that tend to clear senescent cells. Finally, we summarized the various effects of senescent cells in different cancers and manifested that their functions may be diametrically opposed under different circumstances. In short, this paper contributes to the understanding of the diversity of cellular senescence in cancers and provides novel insight for tumor therapy.
‘Strategic sustainable development: The role of intermediaries in managing the sustainability compliance of a multi‐tier crop agri‐food supply chain. A developing economy perspective’
Authors: Khan Muhammad , Behrendt Karl , Papadas Dimitrios , Arnold Lydia 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis qualitative case study investigation highlights deeply entrenched sustainability challenges within a multi‐tier supply chain of a developing country's crop agri‐food sector. Focusing on the rice supply chain, the study reveals how Agri Processing Company Limited (APCL), operating as a first‐tier intermediary, effectively launched and managed different levels of intermediaries through ‘multi‐actor’ and ‘multi‐level’ management approaches to extend sustainability upstream in the rice supply chain, especially in the lower‐tiers previously considered ‘commodities with no value’. Social networking and progressive farmers played the inclusive roles of change agents in bringing all the stakeholders of a traditional and fragmented supply chain into a coordinated platform. The bottom‐up strategic management approach of APCL gained the trust of local stakeholders and buying firms, resulting in a sustainable business strategy. Increased collaboration at different levels of farming communities led to a transformed methodology for sustainable development through intermediaries. The transformed business structure and mediated governance of ‘multi actors’ supply chains revamped socio‐ecological outcomes for the lower‐tiers and improved local living conditions through economic fairness and equal opportunities. This transformation contributed to significant advances in Pakistan's rice industry towards sustainable development.
Evaluating the environmental impacts of Chinese decentralization policies toward SDG 13

Published: August 2024

AbstractAs local governments play a decisive role in attaining sustainable development goals, notably SDG 13 (climate action), decentralization policies offer the flexibility to modify climate strategies according to local necessities and enhance resource distribution. However, the simultaneous demands for economic advancement and environmental conservation pose notable hurdles. Drawing on a county‐level time‐varying quasi‐natural experiment, the results explore that fiscal decentralization, when implemented alone, significantly reduces firm pollution emission intensity. This pollution reduction is attributed to its alleviating fiscal stress on counties. In contrast, administrative decentralization is associated with increased pollution emissions, driven by tax preferences and competition in infrastructure investment. Moreover, the study reveals that fiscal and administrative decentralization reforms are complementary in their impact on a firm's intensity of pollution emissions. Furthermore, the joint implementation of complementary decentralization reforms is observed to decrease the intensity of pollution emissions in developed counties, particularly in areas characterized by high institutional quality and improved mobility. The study provides insights into the interplay between different decentralization policies and their contextual factors, enhancing our understanding of how nations can articulate decentralization policies to adopt an informed and context‐sensitive approach in crafting a balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability.

AbstractThe integration of sustainable entrepreneurship education in higher education is important as part of efforts to step towards equipping future leaders with the knowledge, skills and mindset needed to address global sustainability challenges through innovative and entrepreneurial solutions. This approach involves a multidisciplinary, holistic education model that combines the principles of sustainability with entrepreneurial practices. This paper, which entails a case studies approach, examines the current initiatives being undertaken by a sample of higher education institutions located in Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Europe, with the aim of fostering sustainable entrepreneurship. It concludes by proposing a series of measures with respect to sustainable entrepreneurship that higher education institutions may deploy, to address the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of the global sustainability challenges.
Whose streets? Understanding sexual minority support for the Black Lives Matter movement
Authors: Fahs Breanne , Swank Eric , Mayon Marli 
Published: August 2024

AbstractUsing a “political distinctiveness” lens, this study tested the claim that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer people valued the goals and tactics of Black Lives Matter (BLM) more than heterosexual people did. Using a sample of currently enrolled college students (N = 89), the study also tried to explain why a possible sexuality gap (that is, discrepancy in participation between heterosexuals and sexual minorities) for BLM support and involvement existed. Through a set of multivariate regressions, we concluded that sexual minority support of BLM was influenced by sexuality differences in group memberships, commitments to activism, and emotional bonds to people of color. Exposure to diversity courses in college and lesbian/gay communities, along with identifying as a queer person of color, increased BLM support, but they were not a significant force behind greater BLM activism for sexual minorities. We included suggestions for how social justice allies can support anti‐oppressive social movements in an impactful and just manner and how gender and race interact with sexual identity in support for activism.

Published: August 2024

AbstractHealthcare professionals report poor overall well‐being, with many citing mental health concerns and stress as contributing factors. Given that healthcare professionals are crucial to the sustainability of the health sector, examining the factors affecting their well‐being at work is essential. This paper reports the findings of research conducted in an Australian regional public hospital, utilising the conservation of resources theory to examine the factors (similarities and differences) that influence the resource loss of healthcare professionals (nurses, medical professionals, and allied health professionals). Qualitative semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 43 healthcare professionals of varying roles, and participant perspectives revealed two themes contributing to a resource‐poor work environment: ‘occupational demands and obstacles’ and ‘barriers to effective teams’. These challenges caused individual resource loss, and as stress arises from resource depletion, each turn of the stress spiral left the individuals and organization with fewer resources to counteract the loss, causing loss spirals to intensify in momentum and scale. The findings of this research emphasise the importance of executing a proactive approach to well‐being initiative implementation to support resource investment and assist in creating a more nurturing healthcare work environment that fosters resource creation and sustenance for healthcare professionals.

AbstractNanostrukturierte metallische Multilayer weisen eine wesentlich höhere Festigkeit, Ermüdungsfestigkeit und Duktilität als monolithische homogene Metallquerschnitte auf. Die überragenden strukturellen Eigenschaften nanostrukturierter Querschnitte sind bekannt, und so ist verwunderlich, warum bis heute kein Versuch unternommen wurde, nanostrukturierte Querschnitte in Makroquerschnitten im Konstruktiven Ingenieurbau zur Verbesserung der Querschnittseigenschaften einzusetzen. Dieser Aufsatz verknüpft die Vorteile der nanostrukturierten Multilayer mit den Bedürfnissen der homogenen metallischen Makroquerschnitte und geht der Frage nach, inwieweit das Hochleistungsmaterial Nanolaminat die konstruktiven Schwachstellen metallischer Infrastruktur ausgleichen kann. Die folgenden Schwachstellen der metallischen Konstruktion werden adressiert: 1) die Schweißnaht unter Ermüdungsbeanspruchung und Korrosion, 2) additiv gedruckte metallische Querschnitte unter Ermüdungsbeanspruchung und Korrosion. Der Aufsatz gibt Denkanstöße, wie nanostrukturierte Querschnitte möglicherweise die Zukunft im Stahlbau mitbestimmen können. Beispielhaft wird auf die Bemessung und Wartung von ermüdungsbeanspruchten metallischen Infrastrukturbauwerken, wie Brücken und Offshore‐Windenergieanlagen, eingegangen und aufgezeigt, wie Nachhaltigkeit, Ressourcenschonung, Senkung des CO2‐Fußabdrucks, Verfügbarkeit, Versorgungssicherheit und Wirtschaftlichkeit von Stahl‐Infrastrukturbauwerken potenziell erreichbar sind.
Petrogenesis of microgranular enclaves in the A-type granitoid Krasnopol intrusion (Mazury Complex, northeastern Poland): Evidence of magma mixing

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe origin of magmatic microgranular enclaves has been investigated in the Mesoproterozoic granitoid Krasnopol intrusion (1.5 Ga), part of the AMCG (anorthosite–mangerite–charnockite–granite) Mazury Complex in the East European Craton (NE Poland). The granitoids are ferroan and metaluminous, and display the typical characteristics of A-type granites, with high contents of Zr, Nb, Ga and rare earth elements (REEs). The enclaves are metaluminous and have a broad compositional range with two groups distinguished: silica-poor (45–50 wt% SiO2) and silica-rich (54 to 59 wt% SiO2), the latter overlapping in composition with the granitoid samples. The silica-poor enclaves are enriched in REEs compared to the silica-rich type, while the silica-rich enclaves exhibit trace-element patterns similar to those of the granitoids. Initial whole rock εNd values range between -3.8 and -4.0 for the granitoids and give a slightly wider range from -2.6 to -3.8 for the enclaves. The 87Sr/86Sr initial values vary from 0.7084 to 0.7138 for the granitoids and between 0.7052 and 0.7075 for the enclaves and indicate that the granitoids and enclaves are not isotopically identical. These may suggest that the two magmatic systems represented by the granitoid host rock and the enclaves, were probably derived from different sources, but with sufficient interaction, which led to a progressive change in the composition of the enclaves towards intermediate composition. We suggest that the mafic melts of the enclaves were generated at the base of the thickened crust through partial melting of the lower crustal source, with a significant contribution from mantle material. The increase in temperature resulted in anatexis of the lower crust and the formation of the granitoid parental magma.
Mutual information-based feature selection for inverse mapping parameter updating of dynamical systems

Published: August 2024

AbstractA digital twin should be and remain an accurate model representation of a physical system throughout its operational life. To this end, we aim to update (physically interpretable) parameters of such a model in an online fashion. Hereto, we employ the inverse mapping parameter updating (IMPU) method that uses an artificial neural network (ANN) to map features, extracted from measurement data, to parameter estimates. This is achieved by training the ANN offline on simulated data, i.e., pairs of known parameter value sets and sets of features extracted from corresponding simulations. Since a plethora of features (and feature types) can be extracted from simulated time domain data, feature selection (FS) strategies are investigated. These strategies employ the mutual information between features and parameters to select an informative subset of features. Hereby, accuracy of the parameters estimated by the ANN is increased and, at the same time, ANN training and inference computation times are decreased. Additionally, Bayesian search-based hyperparameter tuning is employed to enhance performance of the ANNs and to optimize the ANN structure for various FS strategies. Finally, the IMPU method is applied to a high-tech industrial use case of a semi-conductor machine, for which measurements are performed in closed-loop on the controlled physical system. This system is modeled as a nonlinear multibody model in the Simscape multibody environment. It is shown that the model updated using the IMPU method simulates the measured system more accurately than a reference model of which the parameter values have been determined manually.
Real-time low-light video enhancement on smartphones

Published: August 2024

AbstractReal-time low-light video enhancement on smartphones remains an open challenge due to hardware constraints such as limited sensor size and processing power. While night mode cameras have been introduced in smartphones to acquire high-quality images in light-constrained environments, their usability is restricted to static scenes as the camera must remain stationary for an extended period to leverage long exposure times or burst imaging techniques. Concurrently, significant process has been made in low-light enhancement on images coming out from the camera’s image signal processor (ISP), particularly through neural networks. These methods do not improve the image capture process itself; instead, they function as post-processing techniques to enhance the perceptual brightness and quality of captured imagery for display to human viewers. However, most neural networks are computationally intensive, making their mobile deployment either impractical or requiring considerable engineering efforts. This paper introduces VLight, a novel single-parameter low-light enhancement algorithm that enables real-time video enhancement on smartphones, along with real-time adaptation to changing lighting conditions and user-friendly fine-tuning. Operating as a custom brightness-booster on digital images, VLight provides real-time and device-agnostic enhancement directly on users’ devices. Notably, it delivers real-time low-light enhancement at up to 67 frames per second (FPS) for 4K videos locally on the smartphone.
