Postphenomenology Unchained: Rethinking Human-Technology-World Relations as Enroulement
Authors: Schürkmann Christiane , Anders Lisa 
Published: July 2024

AbstractHumans experience various phenomena as threats to their biophysical integrity. Airborne viruses, leaking radioactivity, or extreme weather conditions are three examples for this. In these scenarios the focus is not unilaterally directed towards the vulnerable body but also towards a world that can potentially become hazardous and out of balance. At the same time, technology comes into play, enabling us to access such an obtruding world including its activities, forces, and agents but also to shield humans and their vulnerable bodies from potential injuries and harm. The contribution develops an approach to investigate human-technology-world relations based on Merleau-Ponty’s concept of Enroulement unfolded in The Visible and the Invisible. This concept releases a non-linear, dynamic multi-relationality in which world, human, and technology become relevant as situating as well as situated co-constitutors of such relations enveloped in a permanent process of coiling. We discuss our approach as an alternative to a linear relational perspective as found in the postphenomenological concept of technological mediation. With the approach of Enroulement it becomes evident that the situated-situating world is more than something to be technologically mediated, while technology situated in the world but also co-constituting our world is more than a mediator. First, the article emphasizes the notion of the world based on Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology and in a critical examination of postphenomenological approaches. Second, it unfolds the concept of Enroulement involving human, world, and technology. Third, it focuses on shielding technologies required by vulnerable bodies and an intervening world. Fourth, it illustrates the suggested approach with two examples in which humans and technologies are exposed to extreme forces and material activities: combat flying and dealing with radioactivity.
Trophic niches of estuarine fish and evidence of mangrove-fishery causal links in the Southern Caribbean (Colombia)
Authors: Sandoval Luis Alejandro , Erős Tibor 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe trophic organization of estuarine fish communities is poorly known. We used Stable Isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) to classify the most abundant fishes of the Atrato River Delta (Colombia) into trophic guilds. We examined trophic niches and the relationships between the abundance of the trophic guilds (catch per unit effort) and environmental variables. The zoobenthivores were the dominant trophic guild. The isotopic niche width, based on Bayesian estimate of the standard ellipse areas, was more significant for carnivores (25.3‰2) and planktivores (24.4‰2) than for omnivores (7.8‰2) and phytobenthivores (3.1‰2). The overlap combinations showed a medium probability of isotopic overlap (≈50%) between carnivores and planktivores and between carnivores and omnivores. Isotopic niche size and overlap suggested diversity in food sources and considerable niche segregation of the fish community. Mangrove area was the main factor explaining the abundance of omnivores and zoobenthivores, supporting that the causal links between mangrove habitat and local fishery production may be explained through the trophic contribution of mangroves and mangrove-related sources. The results underscore the importance of mangrove areas in the trophic organization of fish communities and can inform strategies aimed at managing the ecosystem impacts of fishing and protecting extensive mangrove areas in the southern Caribbean.
Sustainability with Limited Data: A Novel Predictive Analytics Approach for Forecasting CO2 Emissions
Authors: Filelis-Papadopoulos Christos K. , Kirshner Samuel N. , O’Reilly Philip 
Published: July 2024

AbstractUnforeseen events (e.g., COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine conflict) create significant challenges for accurately predicting CO2 emissions in the airline industry. These events severely disrupt air travel by grounding planes and creating unpredictable, ad hoc flight schedules. This leads to many missing data points and data quality issues in the emission datasets, hampering accurate prediction. To address this issue, we develop a predictive analytics method to forecast CO2 emissions using a unique dataset of monthly emissions from 29,707 aircraft. Our approach outperforms prominent machine learning techniques in both accuracy and computational time. This paper contributes to theoretical knowledge in three ways: 1) advancing predictive analytics theory, 2) illustrating the organisational benefits of using analytics for decision-making, and 3) contributing to the growing focus on aviation in information systems literature. From a practical standpoint, our industry partner adopted our forecasting approach under an evaluation licence into their client-facing CO2 emissions platform.
Why traditional rural landscapes are still important to our future
Authors: Santoro Antonio 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Context
In 2005 Marc Antrop published the article “Why landscapes of the past are important for the future” that became a milestone for traditional and cultural landscapes research and planning, highlighting their multifunctional role and importance for sustainable development.

Objectives
After 20 years, this paper analyzes the current role of traditional rural landscapes in relation to the concept of Ecosystem Services, to understand if and why these landscapes are still important for the future of rural areas and communities.

Results
Traditional rural landscapes still represent a resource capable of providing a wide range of Ecosystem Services to local communities, having a potential key-role for sustainable development. Institutional initiatives for their conservation and valorization testify a growing interest towards these systems and related ecological knowledge. In the context of climate change, they represent examples of sustainable adaptation and resilient strategies and practices. The preservation of these landscapes often rely only on farmers’ everyday work, while the benefits are enjoyed by the whole society; therefore, adequate support by governments and institutions should be provided to farmers who apply traditional and sustainable practices.

Conclusions
Traditional landscapes should be preserved not as museums, but only making them the multifunctional basis of rural society and economy by applying the principles of dynamic conservation.
Consultancy firms’ roles in policy diffusion: a systematic review from the environmental governance field
Authors: Burchard-Levine Alejandra , Huitema Dave , Jager Nicolas W. , Bijlsma Iris 
Published: July 2024

AbstractSince the 1980’s, the growing involvement of private consultancy firms in the public sector worldwide has instigated concerns about the outsourcing of public policy advising to market-driven actors. Although these firms participate in spreading policy ideas, their roles have not received sustained attention, despite being observed by a few scholars. Against this background, the aim of this paper is threefold. First, from established policy concepts relating to policy diffusion, we identify the potential roles that consultancy firms may take on in spreading policy ideas. Second, we use a systematic literature review to collect and distil what is currently known about what different roles consultancy firms fulfil, and what kinds of tensions arise in their interactions with both clients and other actors. Third, we draft an agenda for future research on consultancy firms’ impact in governance processes. To focus our study, our review hones in on environmental governance, more specifically water governance, a significant area of activity for such firms where they play an important in-between role in providing policy ideas. We found indications that consultancy firms possess six types of capabilities (trusted facilitators, reactors to environmental policies, shapers of environmental policies, market drivers, interest navigators, and managers of public participation), and face various dilemmas around biases, decontextualized global practices, market interests, and manipulative practices. We conclude that more attention should be given to empirically refining capabilities involved in shaping policies and markets and to further highlighting how consultancy firms impact the diffusion of governance ideas in and beyond the water and environmental sectors.

Evaluating the impact of vocabulary instruction on oral vocabulary, phonemic awareness and nonword reading
Authors: Brooks Rose , Warmington Meesha , Thomson Jenny 
Published: July 2024

AbstractVocabulary teaching has traditionally focused on word meanings to aid reading comprehension, however evidence also suggests that vocabulary knowledge influences phonemic awareness and word reading. Vocabulary instruction concentrating on the sound structure of new words alongside meaning (combined sound-meaning vocabulary instruction) improves vocabulary for learners with speech and language difficulties. Emerging research suggests it may deliver similar results as a classroom strategy for young children. Researchers have questioned whether combined instruction would additionally enhance phonemic awareness and phonic decoding. A teaching intervention with 273 children aged 5–6 in the United Kingdom compared meaning-based instruction, combined instruction and usual classroom instruction (age-matched controls) over 24 weeks with three testing points. A daily vocabulary lesson incorporating evidence-based principles was delivered by classroom teachers. After intervention both instructional groups performed significantly higher than controls on taught vocabulary, and all groups performed equally on phonemic awareness and nonword reading. Delayed post-test results require more cautious interpretation due to the lack of a hierarchical design. Combined instruction resulted in the highest taught vocabulary and phonic reading outcomes; phonemic awareness in the combined condition was significantly higher than controls. Results tentatively suggest that combined instruction is an inclusive approach for whole-class use in early schooling.
Micropropagation via somatic embryogenesis of Iris pallida Lam. ecotypes

Published: July 2024

AbstractIris pallida LAM., which has characterized the economy of small and medium-sized Tuscan farms for decades, is one of the most typical rustic species of the Mediterranean landscape. I. pallida essence is widely used in the perfumery sector for the indicative smell of violet caused by its high content of irones, ketone compounds accumulated inside the rhizome during their storage phase. One of the main critical aspects of its cultivation is the vegetative propagation method, traditionally carried out by rhizome transplanting, which does not allow obtaining a sufficient number of plants to encourage its cultivation. The state of the art indicates the micropropagation of I. pallida via somatic embryogenesis as the most effective propagation method, using immature flower components as starting tissue; however, there are no studies aimed at comparing the responses of different ecotypes of I. pallida to this technique. In this study, I. pallida clones of HE, VIC and BA ecotypes were obtained via somatic embryogenesis, starting from bud (young and immature) and leaf explants, monitoring all the development steps from callus to plantlets production, and testing clones adaptation to field conditions, using a modified acclimatization protocol. The results highlighted the different responses of the ecotypes to the in vitro protocol and demonstrated the effectiveness of somatic embryogenesis in producing I. pallida plantlets with a chromatographic profile overlapping with the donor plant; this alternative propagation method could allow to produce plantlets without sacrificing sealable rhizome.
Promotion of Different Active Phases in MnOX-CeO2 Catalysts for Simultaneous NO Reduction and o-DCB Oxidation
Authors: Martín-Martín J. A. , González-Marcos M. P. , Aranzabal A. , González-Velasco J. R. , Finocchio E. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
MnOX-CeO2 catalysts with different Mn and Ce content were prepared to evaluate the effect of metal content on catalytic properties and activity in the simultaneous NO reduction and o-DCB oxidation, in order to elucidate the most active species for the process. Catalytic properties were evaluated by ICP-AES, XRD, skeletal FTIR, STEM-HAADF, XPS, N2-physisorption, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and pyridine-FTIR. Catalysts with 85%Mn and 15%Ce molar content have been found to be the most active. Their excellent catalytic performance is related to the coexistence of Mn in different phases, i.e., Mn species strongly interacting with Ce and segregated Mn species. The effect of the preparation methods has also been deeply investigated: Co-precipitation method (CP) leads to Mn segregation as Mn2O3, whereas sol-gel preparation method (SG) promotes the formation of an amorphous powder. The synergy between segregated Mn2O3 species and Mn species in high interaction with Ce (resulting in a mixed oxide phase) leads to the presence of Mn with different oxidation states. This effect, together with the high oxygen mobility caused by structural defects, enhances redox, acidic and oxidative properties. The improvement of catalytic properties with Mn content also favors NO reduction side-reactions, with N2O and NO2 being the most important by-products, whereas it limits the production of chlorinated organic by-products in o-DCB oxidation.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose of the Review
Cesarean delivery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. Approximately 28–78% of the patients have reported experiencing severe pain after Cesarean delivery, which is associated with adverse outcomes. Current analgesic management strategies employ a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not be suitable for all post-Cesarean patients. Our ongoing research and the purpose of this review are focusing on preoperative risk assessment to identify patients at risk of severe pain or needing higher doses of opioid or other analgesics.

Recent Findings
Recent clinical investigations have found that by utilizing the demographic and psychological evaluations, screening tests, quantitative sensory testing, and assessment of response to local anesthetic infiltration, clinicians were potentially able to stratify the risks for severe post-cesarean pain. Several modalities demonstrated significant correlations with pain outcomes, although most of these correlations were weak to modest. Since consensus statement regarding predicting post-CD pain control are still lacking, these correlations can be clinically helpful.

Summary
It is possible to identify patients at high risk of developing severe acute pain after cesarean section by preoperative demographic data, screening questionnaires, or other tools. Further studies are needed to identify additional variables or screening tools for more accurate prediction and investigate whether personalized analgesic regimens can lead to improved analgesic outcomes.

Abstract
Background
With 60% of Africa’s population under the age of 25 years, investing in youth will accelerate progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The United Nations concept of ‘Development Accelerators’ is operationalized by examining factors associated with multiple SDGs among adolescents in Nigeria.

Methodology
Through data collected on the health of 1800 adolescents in Southwest Nigeria (Ibadan), ten SDG targets were identified. Accelerator protective factors that could lead to the attainment of two or more SDG targets were identified. Associations were assessed using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for sociodemographic covariates and multiple testing. Cumulative effects were tested by marginal effects modelling.

Results
Participants’ mean age was 15.02 years (SD = 2.27). Family (parenting support), environmental (no survival work and food security) and school (safe schools) related factors emerged as development accelerators. For seven of the identified SDG-aligned targets, a combination of two or more accelerator factors showed cumulative positive associations, suggesting accelerator synergies with a combination of three accelerators showing the greatest increase. For instance, perceiving the school environment as safe, being food secure and having optimal mental health was associated with an 67% chance of not using psychoactive substances. While with safe school alone it was 39% (29%-51%), with food security alone it was 42% (31%-54%) and with optimal mental health alone it was 54% (42%-66%).

Conclusion
Several development accelerators related to family, environmental and school factors can have additive effects on the attainment of the SDGs amongst adolescents in Nigeria. This has practical and policy utility in the fastest growing economy in Africa.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
This study explored how the human cortical folding pattern composed of convex gyri and concave sulci affected single-subject morphological brain networks, which are becoming an important method for studying the human brain connectome. We found that gyri-gyri networks exhibited higher morphological similarity, lower small-world parameters, and lower long-term test-retest reliability than sulci-sulci networks for cortical thickness- and gyrification index-based networks, while opposite patterns were observed for fractal dimension-based networks. Further behavioral association analysis revealed that gyri-gyri networks and connections between gyral and sulcal regions significantly explained inter-individual variance in Cognition and Motor domains for fractal dimension- and sulcal depth-based networks. Finally, the clinical application showed that only sulci-sulci networks exhibited morphological similarity reductions in major depressive disorder for cortical thickness-, fractal dimension-, and gyrification index-based networks. Taken together, these findings provide novel insights into the constraint of the cortical folding pattern to the network organization of the human brain.
