AbstractAlfalfa is widely recognized as an important forage crop. To understand the morphological characteristics and genetic basis of seed morphology in alfalfa, we screened 318 Medicago spp., including 244 Medicago sativa subsp. sativa (alfalfa) and 23 other Medicago spp., for seed area size, length, width, length-to-width ratio, perimeter, circularity, the distance between the intersection of length & width (IS) and center of gravity (CG), and seed darkness & red–green–blue (RGB) intensities. The results revealed phenotypic diversity and correlations among the tested accessions. Based on the phenotypic data of M. sativa subsp. sativa, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) called against the Medicago truncatula genome. Genes in proximity to associated markers were detected, including CPR1, MON1, a PPR protein, and Wun1(threshold of 1E−04). Machine learning models were utilized to validate GWAS, and identify additional marker-trait associations for potentially complex traits. Marker S7_33375673, upstream of Wun1, was the most important predictor variable for red color intensity and highly important for brightness. Fifty-two markers were identified in coding regions. Along with strong correlations observed between seed morphology traits, these genes will facilitate the process of understanding the genetic basis of seed morphology in Medicago spp.

Published: July 2024

AbstractNamed entity recognition (NER) plays a crucial role in the extraction and utilization of knowledge of ancient Chinese books. However, the challenges of ancient Chinese NER not only originate from linguistic features such as the use of single characters and short sentences but are also exacerbated by the scarcity of training data. These factors together limit the capability of deep learning models, like BERT-CRF, in capturing the semantic representation of ancient Chinese characters. In this paper, we explore the semantic enhancement of NER in ancient Chinese books through the utilization of external knowledge. We propose a novel model based on Graph Neural Networks that integrates two different forms of external knowledge: dictionary-level and chapter-level information. Through the Graph Attention Mechanism (GAT), these external knowledge are effectively incorporated into the model’s input context. Our model is evaluated on the C_CLUE dataset, showing an improvement of 3.82% over the baseline BAC-CRF model. It also achieves the best score compared to several state-of-the-art dictionary-augmented models.
Hemorrhagic Fourth Ventricle Colloid Cyst: A Report of an Unusual Presentation at an Uncommon Location
Authors: Shah Ankit S. , Shroff Madhur S. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractColloid cysts are benign cystic lesions characteristically arising from the third ventricle roof close to the foramen of Monro. Although incredibly rare, hemorrhage within a third ventricular colloid cyst is sparsely reported. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of hemorrhage within the fourth ventricle colloid have ever been documented. Here, we present an interesting case describing a hemorrhagic colloid cyst situated within the fourth ventricle of a 55-year-old female patient who presented with symptoms of headache, vomiting, and gait imbalance. The cyst was excised during surgery via a suboccipital microscopic telovelar approach. Our findings led us to the conclusion that, despite being extremely rare, colloid cysts in the fourth ventricle can present with hemorrhagic episodes, which can exacerbate symptoms and hasten neurological decline. As a result, the presence of unusual radiological characteristics in a fourth ventricle lesion should prompt medical practitioners to suspect an atypical colloid cyst. This consideration can be pivotal in making informed surgical decisions. Expedited management and a microsurgical approach are recommended strategies for a better outcome.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Aims To describe the autonomic function of premature infants born between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation, without medical risk factors, at the age of 3 to 5 years and to assess whether it's possible to predict the appearance of autonomic deficits in these children at this age range.
Methods This follow-up study included 40 out of 55 premature infants born between weeks 28 and 32 during 2018 to 2020. During 2022 to 2023 parents were asked to report on medical and developmental follow-up and treatment, functional characteristics of the autonomic system, and the age at which walking was achieved.
Results Approximately 27% of the participants (11 out of 40) presented autonomic symptoms at 3 to 5 years of age. A predictive relationship was noted between the function of the heart rate control system near birth and the presence of autonomic dysfunctions at ages 3 to 5. Fourteen of 40 children received neurodevelopmental treatments. However, children with autonomic symptoms were not treated for their symptoms.
Conclusion These preliminary findings provide valuable insights into the autonomic function of children born premature and the potential predictive relationship between early autonomic measures and later autonomic dysfunctions. It also highlights the need for increased awareness and intervention strategies for addressing autonomic issues in premature infants to support their overall well-being.
An experiential account with recommendations for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of a farm-scale soil moisture sensing and mapping system
Authors: Malone Brendan , Biggins David , Sharman Chris , Searle Ross , Glover Mark , Brown Stuart 
Published: July 2024

Context The research explores the benefits of real time tracking of soil moisture for various land management contexts and the importance of spatio-temporal modelling and mapping to gain clear and visual understanding of soil moisture fluxes across a farm. Aims This research aims to outline the key processes required for building an operational on-farm soil moisture monitoring system where the product is highly granular daily soil moisture maps depicting variations temporally, spatially and vertically. Methods We describe processes of capacitance soil moisture probe installation, data collection infrastructure, sensor calibration, spatio-temporal modelling, and mapping. Key results An out-of-bag soil moisture evaluation modelling system was tested for nearly 2 years. We found a model accuracy (RMSE) estimate of 0.002 cm−3 cm−3 and concordance of 0.96 were found. This result is averaged over this period but fluctuated daily, and related to rainfall patterns across the target farm, which were not directly incorporated into the modelling framework. As expected, incorporating prior estimates of soil moisture into the modelling framework contributed to very accurate estimates of real time available soil moisture. Conclusions This research promotes the importance of iterative improvements to the soil moisture monitoring system, particularly in areas of sensor recalibration and spatio-temporal modelling. We stress the need for a longer-term view and plan for ongoing maintenance and improvement of such systems in the emerging digital farming ecosystem. Implications The results of this research will be useful for researchers and practitioners involved in the design and implementation of on-farm soil monitoring systems.
Women on Philosophy of Art
Authors: Stone Alison 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This book is the first study of women’s philosophies of art in long nineteenth-century Britain. It looks at seven women spanning the time from the Enlightenment to the beginning of modernism. They are Anna Barbauld, Joanna Baillie, Harriet Martineau, Anna Jameson, Frances Power Cobbe, Emilia Dilke, and Vernon Lee. The central issue that concerned them was how art related to morality and religion. Baillie and Martineau treated art as a means of moral instruction, whereas Dilke and Lee argued that art must be made for beauty’s sake. Barbauld, Jameson, and Cobbe thought that beauty and religion were linked, while other women believed that art and religion must be decoupled. Other topics these women explored were gender and genius, tragedy, literary realism, why we enjoy the sufferings of fictional characters, the hierarchy of the art-forms, whether art can transcend its historical circumstances, and critical issues around the artistic canon. Examining the print culture that made these women’s interventions possible, this book shows that these women were doing a particular kind of philosophy of art, which was interdisciplinary and closely tied to artistic criticism and practice. The book traces how these seven women influenced one another, as well as engaging with their male contemporaries. But unlike their male interlocutors, these women have been unjustly left out of narratives about the history of aesthetics. By including these women, we gain a richer and more accurate understanding of the history of philosophy of art.
Joanna Baillie’s Theory of Tragedy
Authors: Stone Alison 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Joanna Baillie rose to fame in 1798 with the first volume of her Plays on the Passions, which included her theory of tragedy, the subject of this chapter. For Baillie, all human beings have powerful and dangerous passions that we need to regulate. Tragedy can help, by showing us protagonists who fail to check the growth of a particular passion, such as jealousy or hatred. We witness the passion take over the character’s mind until he or she is destroyed. This offers a warning and motivates us to watch out for the growth of our own passions and keep them in check. Baillie’s theory of tragedy is original and combines moralism, voluntarism, and optimism, since the sufferings undergone by tragic characters could have been avoided had they made better choices. Tragedy’s message is not that suffering is inescapable, but that suffering can be reduced if we cultivate self-knowledge and self-control.
Harriet Martineau on Literature, Morality, and Realism
Authors: Stone Alison 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This chapter analyses Harriet Martineau’s theory of literature and art. Martineau believed that art’s purpose was to instil moral lessons, and that art must be morally good to be good as art. In her essays on Walter Scott, Martineau argued that literature should ‘exemplify’ moral principles, using vivid sensory impressions to present moral facts in lively and memorable imaginary cases. In addition, literature should extend sympathy as widely as possible, to reach working people in modern industrial life. Martineau put these views into practice in her best-selling Illustrations of Political Economy (1832–34). However, different components of Martineau’s moral framework were in tension, manifested in certain limitations of the Illustrations. Nonetheless, Martineau remains important both as a pioneer of literary realism and as an exemplary exponent of aesthetic moralism.
Vernon Lee, Art-Philosophy, and True Aestheticism
Authors: Stone Alison 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines Vernon Lee’s engagement with the idea of art for beauty’s sake. First Lee argued that art cannot possibly be both beautiful and religious, then that beauty and goodness are essentially different and can conflict. However, she began to reconnect beauty and goodness on utilitarian grounds: pleasure is good, moral action aims to increase overall pleasure, and beautiful art gives pleasure and therefore has moral value. In 1896 Lee completely reconceived her position, arguing that experiences of beautiful art increase our sense of harmony, strengthen our altruism, and foster our individual spiritual development. The organic forms of beautiful art connect with our living bodies and, ultimately, with the organic unity of reality. Lee ended up with an original, metaphysical kind of aestheticism: art is for the sake of the greater beauty and organic harmony of the universe.
Domino Dancing: Mutuality of Obligation and Determining Employment Status in Ireland
Authors: Doherty Michael 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
It has taken a while, but what has been described as the first ‘gig economy’ case has been decided by the Irish Supreme Court. Although the case did not involve the use of a platform to organise work, it did require the Supreme Court to rule on the question of the employment status of pizza delivery drivers, all of whom were labelled as ‘independent contractors’ in the contracts between the company and the drivers. The case was taken by Revenue, which contended that the drivers, in fact, should have been classified as employees for tax purposes. The Supreme Court took the opportunity to present a long and detailed judgment on the correct approach to determining employment status, and, in particular, on the role of ‘mutuality of obligations’ in this consideration, with an extensive review of case law from the UK. This analysis discusses the case, with a particular emphasis on the view taken by the Court on mutuality of obligations in the context of ‘casual work’.

Published: July 2024

Objectives
This paper outlines the experience developing Addiction Medicine Practice-Based Research Network (AMNet), which promotes the adoption of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and measurement-based care in outpatient addiction treatment practices and creates a platform for quality improvement and research.

Methods
From August 2019 to July 2023, the AMNet team selected patient-reported outcome measures for implementation in the American Psychiatric Association's clinical data registry (PsychPRO), recruited addiction medicine providers, and collected PROMs data.

Results
AMNet selected 12 PROMs for implementation in PsychPRO. Through July 2023, 1565 providers expressed interest, of whom 216 of the 929 eligible providers (23%) attended an onboarding call/webinar. Two hundred six providers (95%) from 54 practices returned Participation Agreements. Subsequently, 65 providers (32%) from 39 practices withdrew, resulting in 141 (68%) providers from 15 practices. From November 2020 to July 2023, 38 providers submitted PROMs data using 1 of 3 PsychPRO patient portals. Sixteen of the 53 providers (30%) who signed up for the initial portal collected data from 468 patients. As of July 2023, 83 of the 141 providers (59%) opted to submit PROMs data from their own portal or electronic health record.

Conclusions
Next steps will include continued recruitment of providers, addressing barriers to data transfer and integrating data from providers' portals into the registry to create a platform for future research.
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease After Pediatric Critical Illness
Authors: Akinkugbe Olugbenga , Marchetto Luca , Martin Isaac , Chia Shin Hann 
Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVE:
Survivors of pediatric critical illnesses are at risk of significant long-term organ sequelae. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complication of critical illness (and ICU interventions) associated with growth impairment, cardiovascular disease, and early death. Our objective was to synthesize the evidence on the incidence of CKD among survivors of pediatric critical illness.

DATA SOURCES:
MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials from inception to February 2024.

STUDY SELECTION:
Observational studies reporting the incidence of de novo CKD among survivors of pediatric critical illness.

DATA EXTRACTION:
Two reviewers independently extracted data on study design, setting, population, demographics, diagnostic criteria, and outcome.

DATA SYNTHESIS:
Meta-analysis was used to describe the incidence of CKD among survivors, risk of bias (RoB) assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Tool, and strength and reliability of evidence assessed with GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations). CKD was quantified as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (outcome 1), eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (outcome 2), and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as eGFR less than 15 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (outcome 3). Twelve studies (3642 patients) met selection criteria and reported at least one measure of CKD. The median duration of follow-up was 2, 3.6, and 5 years, respectively, for outcomes 1, 2, and 3. For each threshold, the pooled estimate of CKD incidence was 24% (95% CI, 16–32%) for eGFR less than 90, 14% (95% CI, 6–23%) less than 60, and 4% (95% CI, 0–7%) for ESRD. The overall quality assessment indicated a moderate RoB.

CONCLUSIONS:
Among a heterogenous population of pediatric critical illness survivors, an important minority of survivors developed CKD or ESRD. This study highlights the importance of diagnostic criteria for reporting, a greater focus on postcritical care surveillance and follow-up to identify those with CKD. Further study would facilitate the delineation of high-risk groups and strategies for improved outcomes.
Association between reproductive lifespan and multimorbidity among Chinese postmenopausal women
Authors: Jiao Jiao , Feng Xuehua , Gong Ailing , Yao Yi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Objective
Although menopause is considered a risk factor for multimorbidity, few studies have explored the association between reproductive lifespan and multimorbidity. This study aimed to explore the association between reproductive lifespan and multimorbidity in postmenopausal Chinese women.

Methods
This cross-sectional study selected postmenopausal women as study participants. The reproductive lifespan refers to the interval between menarche and menopause. Multimorbidity refers to having two or more self-reported chronic diseases. We used a logistic regression model to explore potential associations based on the adjustment of a set of covariates.

Results
In total, 1,310 postmenopausal women with an average reproductive lifespan of 34 years were included in this study. The prevalence of multimorbidity was 22.2% (291/1,310) in postmenopausal women. Our findings showed that compared with postmenopausal women with the Q1 of reproductive lifespan (≤32 reproductive years), those with Q3 (35–37 reproductive years) and Q4 (≥38 reproductive years) were less likely to have multimorbidity (ORQ3 = 0.529, 95% CIQ3 = 0.347‐0.805, ORQ4 = 0.510, 95% CIQ4 = 0.308‐0.842), whereas those with Q2 (33‐34 reproductive years) were not (OR = 0.700, 95% CI = 0.446‐1.098). This study also revealed a linear trend in the association between the reproductive lifespan and multimorbidity; that is, the longer the reproductive lifespan, the lower the risk of multimorbidity.

Conclusions
In postmenopausal Chinese women, a longer reproductive lifespan was associated with a lower prevalence of multimorbidity. This study suggests that for the prevention and intervention of multimorbidity in postmenopausal women, healthcare professionals should screen and assess reproductive factors to identify high-risk individuals.

Published: July 2024

PurposeKnowledge production in project studies is continuously challenged to combine scientific rigour and practical relevance, and a professional graduate programme in Project Management is a suitable environment for addressing this issue. This research aims to generate a framework of the Ecosystem of a University Research Centre in Project Studies (URC-PS) to enhance the benefits of research developed in a professional graduate programme.Design/methodology/approachThe research was developed under the paradigm of Design Science and operationalised through a method of Design Science Research. The prescriptive approach was used to identify, design, develop, demonstrate, and evaluate the framework.FindingsThe framework comprises four macro-elements: Project Studies; Impact Generation Process; Circumstances, Governance and Management; and Context, broken into sixty elements. It provides a structure that is simultaneously holistic, integrative, and procedural. It also develops a perspective of knowledge co-creation between academics and practitioners in an engaged scholarship approach.Practical implicationsThe framework provides a more thorough understanding of the ecosystem university management to the research centre itself, to engaged academics, and to external actors, which allows them to discuss, plan, execute, and evaluate the co-creation of knowledge in Project Studies.Originality/valueThe framework contributes to Organisational Knowledge Creation Theory by including and discussing outcomes and impacts from co-created knowledge in a URC-Project Studies environment. It also explores the concept of “Ba” in its proposal for structuring, organising, and operationalising the “Ba”.
Knowledge, attitudes and practices of intangible cultural heritage among youth in Sichuan, China: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Hu Jia , Md Noor Shuhaida 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThe preservation and transmission of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) relies heavily on the interest and commitment of younger generations. In Sichuan, China, youths serve as a conduit and steward to the inheritance passed down from previous generations. Knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) studies have been advantageous in providing insights into a community’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards safeguarding heritage. This study investigates the KAP of Sichuan youth regarding ICH.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative methodology, utilizing a survey questionnaire on the KAP dimensions. The study involved 384 youths between the ages of 15 and 24 across 21 cities in Sichuan, China. Statistical analyses were conducted using both descriptive and inferential statistics.FindingsThe results of the study showed that Sichuan youths had a high level of knowledge of ICH and a high level of positive attitudes towards ICH but scored in the moderate range for ICH practices. There were significant differences in the knowledge of ICH among youths of different ages and education levels. In addition, there was a strong correlation between knowledge and attitudes, a strong correlation between knowledge and practices and a moderate correlation between attitudes and practices.Originality/valueThis study is the first to investigate the KAP of ICH among youth in Sichuan, China. The findings of this study suggest that several areas—such as ICH categorization (knowledge), approaches to safeguarding ICH (knowledge), levels of satisfaction with ICH safeguarding effectiveness (attitudes), ICH product purchasing (practices) and membership to clubs or associations aimed at safeguarding ICH (practices)—need to be further strengthened. Reinforcement in these areas will encourage positive behaviors and perspectives among the younger generation and facilitate in the management of ICH by institutions or organizations.
