Forgotten fish and food reterritorialization: a Swedish citizen- and professional initiative to re-embed seafood
Authors: Vesterberg Viktor , Gillette Maris Boyd 
Published: August 2024

AbstractMounting evidence demonstrates that the global food system degrades the environment, disenfranchises small-scale producers, and homogenizes foodways. Given that more than 50% of seafood worldwide enters international trade, efforts at transformation must attend to seafood as well as agricultural products. In this article, we investigate a Swedish citizen- and professional initiative, designed and implemented by the culinary civil-society organization Rutabaga Academy that reimagined Swedish seafood provisioning. Forgotten Fish: Heritage for the Future of Sustainable Fish Consumption assembled small-scale fishers, chefs, and other actors to “joyfully explore” the taste of abundant, locally available seafood and its potential for mitigating the homogeneity of fish in large-scale consumption circuits, threats to marine ecosystems and fish populations in Swedish waters, and the disadvantages of the existing food system for local fishers, heritage, and gastronomy. Participants tasted “forgotten” fish species that once played a role in local cuisines while articulating the values of the seafood provisioning system they wanted. We use concepts from Polanyi’s The Great Transformation to explore the initiative, interrogating the roles of participants in reterritorializing seafood production and consumption and the tensions characterizing their diverse visions. Participants shared a conviction that change was needed, and a belief that celebrity chefs could catalyse this change, yet the values they prioritized varied depending on their position in the food system, with different consequences for what reterritorializing seafood meant and for whom. Fishers were essential for re-embedding seafood in local and regional contexts, while chefs contributed primarily by building communities of concern around forgotten fish.

AbstractRecent advances in spectral sensing techniques and machine learning (ML) methods have enabled the estimation of plant physiochemical traits. Nitrogen (N) is a primary limiting factor for terrestrial forest growth, but traditional methods for N determination are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and destructive. In this study, we present a rapid, non-destructive method to predict leaf N concentration (LNC) in Metasequoia glyptostroboides plantations under N and phosphorus (P) fertilization using ML techniques and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)- based RGB (red, green, blue) images. Nine spectral vegetation indices (VIs) were extracted from the RGB images. The spectral reflectance and VIs were used as input features to construct models for estimating LNC based on support vector machine, random forest (RF), and multiple linear regression, gradient boosting regression and classification and regression trees (CART). The results show that RF is the best fitting model for estimating LNC with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.73. Using this model, we evaluated the effects of N and P treatments on LNC and found a significant increase with N and a decrease with P. Height, diameter at breast height (DBH), and crown width of all M. glyptostroboides were analyzed by Pearson correlation with the predicted LNC. DBH was significantly correlated with LNC under N treatment. Our results highlight the potential of combining UAV RGB images with an ML algorithm as an efficient, scalable, and cost-effective method for LNC quantification. Future research can extend this approach to different tree species and different plant traits, paving the way for large-scale, time-efficient plant growth monitoring.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe field of microrobotics has emerged as a promising area of research with significant applications in biomedicine, both in vitro and in vivo, such as targeted cargo delivery, microsurgery, and cellular manipulation. Microrobots actuated with multiple modalities have the potential for greater adaptability, robustness, and capability to perform various tasks. Modular units that can reconfigure into various shapes, create structures that may be difficult to fabricate as one whole unit, and be assembled on-site, could provide more versatility by assembly and disassembly of units on demand. Such multi-modal modular microrobots have the potential to address challenging applications. Here, we present a biocompatible cylindrical microrobot with a dome-shaped cavity. The microrobot is actuated by both magnetic and acoustic fields and forms modular microstructures of various shapes. We demonstrate the use of these microrobots for cellular manipulation by creating patterns on a surface.
Inflammatory Linear Verrucous Epidermal Nevus (ILVEN): A Scarce Cognate with a Neoplasia
Authors: R Jayavarmaa , Das Gaurav 
Published: August 2024

AbstractInflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a rare type of cutaneous nevus that has female predilection which occurs at birth or infancy and evolves along Blaschko’s lines, perceived unilaterally, over the buttocks, legs, and arms. In this case report, ILVEN was associated with multiple ulcero-proliferative skin lesions over the dorsum of the left foot, which on biopsy were proven to be malignant adnexal tumors. A 51-year-old female presented with linear, scaly, and verrucous skin lesions on her left buttock, thigh, and leg unilaterally along Blaschko’s lines after birth. Post-operative biopsy taken from the dorsum of the foot reveals trichoepithelioma. Biopsy taken from the back of the thigh and leg reveals inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus. Single-stage surgical resection of both lesions, performed with primary closure of all the areas, except the gluteal region which is closed by V–Y advancement flap. The outcome was satisfactory for the patient after surgical resection and reconstruction. No recurrence was detected during the follow-up visits. ILVEN is an uncommon type of hyperplastic cutaneous disease. ILVEN perchance associated with malignancy. Henceforth, it has to be considered during the evaluation of similar lesions for optimal treatment intervention.
Holographic visual cues for mission task elements
Authors: Jusko Tim , Walko Christian , Kante Louis 
Published: August 2024

AbstractMission task elements (MTEs) are commonly used to evaluate the handling qualities (HQs) of rotorcraft. However, the traditional approach of physical ground courses faces challenges due to evolving rotorcraft designs and flight profiles. Infrastructure limitations and lack of flexibility for research pose significant obstacles, particularly for high-speed tasks. The emergence of new air vehicles, such as eVTOLs in the civil sector and future vertical lift configurations in the military domain, requires an adapted visual cueing process for previously unaddressed mission profiles. This paper proposes an innovative solution: an augmented reality (AR) system utilizing a head-mounted display to create virtual MTE courses called holographic visual cues (HVCs). A piloted simulation campaign performed at DLR’s AVES simulator compares the effectiveness of HVCs with dome projection-based visual cues, evaluating the performance of the AR system. The study investigated the impact of holographic visual cues on pilot handling qualities, workload ratings, and task performance, finding that although these cues typically do not significantly alter pilot ratings, individual responses varied, highlighting both the technology’s potential and the need for further refinement.
Predicting Teachers’ Burnout from Self-Efficacy Dimensions and Prejudice Toward Ethnic Minorities
Authors: Glock Sabine , Costa Sara 
Published: August 2024

AbstractTeacher self-efficacy has been shown to be a protective factor for teachers’ feelings of burnout, whereas ethnic prejudice might be a risk factor. Ethnic minority students are often perceived negatively and are associated with low motivation, a large number of classroom disruptions, and discipline problems. Prejudice toward these students can impact teaching practices and create a negative environment, leading to stressful situations. In the current study, we explored the associations between different teacher self-efficacy dimensions and ethnic prejudice in three dimensions of burnout in a sample of 84 preservice and inservice teachers from Italy and Germany. Results showed that teacher self-efficacy in classroom management one factor that protects teachers against emotional exhaustion and reduced personal accomplishment. However, teacher self-efficacy did not have a significant impact on feelings of depersonalization, which was mainly predicted by prejudice toward ethnic minorities. This study lays the base for potential interventions targeting the reduction of ethnic prejudice among teachers and preservice teachers. The findings suggest that addressing ethnic prejudice may be valuable, but further research is crucial to comprehensively investigate the multifaceted outcomes of possible interventions and their potential impact on both teachers and students.

Published: August 2024

AbstractCyclic loading may induce changes in the geomechanical behaviour of materials that should be characterised. This work studies the impact of the number of loading cycles on the mechanical behaviour of a fibre-reinforced stabilised soil focusing on its behaviour before failure (yield surface). To this end, an experimental testing program based on triaxial tests was performed on samples not subjected to a cycling loading stage, as well as on samples previously subjected to a cycling loading stage varying the number of loading cycles from 1,000 to 100,000. The results were studied in terms of the accumulated permanent axial strain and the yield surface of the composite material. It was observed that increasing the number of loading cycles led to a rise in the accumulated permanent axial strain and in the undrained resilient modulus. The results also showed an expansion of the yield surface during the first 1,000 loading cycles (the yield occurs later due to the partial mobilization of the tensile strength of the fibres during the cyclic stage) but its shape is maintained. The results also showed a progressive reduction in the yield loci with the increase in the number of loading cycles, reflecting the greater degradation of the solid matrix induced by the accumulated permanent axial strains.

AbstractSelf-cleaning surfaces revolutionizing the technology world due to their novel property of cleaning themselves, and its multi-functional self-cleaning surfaces exhibit at least one or more functional properties (transparent, conducting, anti-bacterial, anti-corrosion, etc.) This review article focuses on the fundamentals of wettability, material parameters controlling surface wettability and three different paths to realization of self-cleaning surfaces, i.e., (i) super-hydrophobic, (ii) super-hydrophilic and (iii) photocatalytic. The subsequent part of the article mostly focuses on the super-hydrophobic path towards realizing self-cleaning surfaces. In the super-hydrophobic path, the objective is to make the surface extremely repellent to water so that water droplets slide and ‘roll off’ from the surface. The next section of the review article focuses on the role of additive manufacturing in the fabrication of super-hydrophobic micro-structures. Amidst the different fabrication processes of self-cleaning surfaces, additive manufacturing stays ahead as it has the manufacturing capacity to create complex micro-structures in a scalable and cost-effective manner. A few prominent types of additive manufacturing processes were strategically chosen which are based on powder bed fusion, vat photopolymerization, material extrusion and material jetting techniques. All these additive manufacturing techniques have been extensively reviewed, and the relative advantages and challenges faced by each during the scalable and affordable fabrication of super-hydrophobic self-cleaning surfaces have been discussed. The article concludes with the latest developments in this field of research and future potential. These surfaces are key to answer sustainable development goals in manufacturing industries.

Port performance indicators construction based on the AIS-generated trajectory segmentation and classification
Authors: Wijaya Wayan Mahardhika , Nakamura Yasuhiro 
Published: August 2024

AbstractWith coverage of worldwide shipping routes and straightforward accessibility, vessels’ navigational data from AIS have emerged as a potential leading source of knowledge for maritime stakeholders. However, transforming the raw AIS messages into meaningful indicators requires comprehensive work that involves enrichment with multiple relevant data sources. In this study, a fain-grained technique to process AIS tracks for the purpose of constructing port performance indicators is proposed. The technique involves trajectory segmentation to separate the stopping and underway segments of AIS-generated trajectories and trajectory classification to identify moored and at-anchor vessels from the stopping segments. With the fusion of relevant information, the method estimates the port boundary and identifies the associated berthing and anchorage locations to estimate turnaround time and construct port connectivity indicators. AIS datasets recorded over eight months covering the waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, known as one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, are selected to evaluate the proposed method. The trajectory segmentation demonstrated 98–99% accuracy, while the classification achieved 95–97%. The estimation of the vessel turnaround time closely matched the UNCTAD data with an error rate of 2.9%. These results prove the proposed approach’s practicality in contributing to the real-world scenario.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Due to its unique location, Bangladesh often faces devastating hydroclimatic shocks such as floods and cyclones. In the recent past, three major cyclones (Sidr in 2007, Aila in 2009, and Komen in 2015) claimed 3800 lives and damaged hundreds of thousands of houses with billions of dollars in property damages. In this paper, we focus on understanding people's evacuation behaviors in the face of approaching cyclones using survey data collected through face-to-face interviews with residents living in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. Through various statistical models, including probit, panel probit, bivariate probit, and multinomial logit models, we have explored the determinants of both past and future evacuation decisions, as well as the choice of evacuation destinations. Our findings reveal consistent patterns across different cyclone events, highlighting the significant roles played by warning time, proximity to the coast, property loss, shelter accessibility, housing structure, literacy, past evacuation experiences, and demographic factors such as age, gender, and employment status. Additionally, the analysis of evacuation destinations uncovers nuanced insights into the preferences and challenges faced by evacuees, including the need for improving shelter accessibility. With rising vulnerabilities in coastal areas in Bangladesh and worldwide, identifying what drives households' evacuation decisions and their destination choices can provide useful inputs for evacuation planning and effective disaster management.

Published: August 2024

AbstractFusarium species are one of the most studied fungal pathogens of cereals. They cause Fusarium head blight or stem base diseases that are risky not only in terms of yield losses but also due to mycotoxins production. Several strategies are used to prevent Fusarium colonisation of plants, including fungicide treatment. However, according to the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the use of fungicides needs to be reduced, and therefore, alternative seed treatments should be sought. One possible method is the use of a pulsed electric field (PEF) that could kill or remove the fungi from the grains surface. The sensitivity of fungi to PEF treatment was first investigated. Spore suspensions of four Fusarium species (F. culmorum, F. graminearum, F. poae, F. sporotrichioides) were treated in a continuous PEF system (OMNIPEF; VITAVE, Czech Republic), and spore viability was subsequently assessed on an artificial medium. Different species of the genus Fusarium showed statistically significant differences in their response to PEF. As the frequency increased from 450 to 900 Hz, the number of viable spores gradually decreased for all Fusarium species tested. Fusarium poae responded already at the lowest frequency of 450 Hz with a strong reduction in spore viability (only 9.4% of spores survived). At the same frequency, 15.3% of F. graminearum spores, 28.9% of F. sporotrichioides spores, and 53.4% of F. culmorum spores remained viable.

AbstractThis experimental investigation is the first to generate a surface iron-tantalum (Fe/Ta) alloy as a sublayer-layer using a plasma focus device. Examining how ion beams from a plasma focus device alloy iron and tantalum with varying melting points is one of the key objectives of this study. Fe/Ta thin film nanostructure and surface morphology were also examined. The distance from the tip anode and the varied number of shots are the experimental variables. Although tantalum's melting point (3020 $$^\circ{\rm C}$$

∘

C

) is generally known to be near to that of iron (2862 $$^\circ{\rm C}$$

∘

C

), it is possible that iron vaporizes and partial alloying of iron with tantalum occurs before tantalum reaches its melting point. Fe/Ta thin film identification techniques include scanning electron microscopy, mapping of cross-section, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction pattern. Additionally, the composition of multilayer structures is examined using EDS. In conclusion, the results of the X-ray diffraction pattern showed that the number of shots had a significant impact on the residual strain degree of the thin films that were deposited. Furthermore, structures made of FeTa and Fe2Ta were produced. Additionally, photos from scanning electron microscopy and cross-section mapping verify that the sample with five shots at an 8 cm distance from the tip anode formed a uniform Fe/Ta alloy structure. The sample with five shots at a distance of 4 cm from the tip anode formed micro-island structures, as seen by scanning electron microscopy, with decreasing distance. Furthermore, depth elemental distribution revealed that the optimal depth of penetration in a homogenous material to develop alloying is best determined by number of PF shots.

AbstractGrapefruit pomace, has been considered a valuable waste byproduct and a rich source of health promoting and functional components. The present work aims to prepare a flour by hot air drying of grapefruit pomace, in order to explore and incorporate it into the formulation of cookies at a level of 0, 5, 10 and 15% replacement with the straight grade wheat flour. The effect of grapefruit pomace powder on the physical, bioactive, chemical, textural and organoleptic properties of the cookies was assessed. Results showed the presence of 8.25% fibre, 9.63% ash, 8.96 mg/GAE g total phenolic content, 3.64 mg QE/g total flavonoid content, 2.05 mg/g total carotenoid contents and 42.12% antioxidant activity (DPPH assay) in the grapefruit pomace powder. The addition of pomace powder at varying amount in the cookies resulted in significant (p < 0.05) change in the chemical and bioactive composition. A significant increase in the fibre (1.58–3.10%), ash content (0.58–1.25%) and fat (20.19–22.05%) and significant decrease in crude protein content (6.79–5.20%) was observed in the cookies having 0–15% grapefruit pomace powder. Similarly, bioactive contents and antioxidant activity of the cookies was also significantly (p < 0.05) increased as the level of incorporation of grapefruit pomace powder was increased. Significant changes in the physical properties of the cookies were also observed, as diameter and thickness were decreased and hardness of the cookies was increased. Cookies containing 10% grapefruit pomace powder got significantly high scores in terms of taste and overall acceptability. It could be concluded that the use of grapefruit pomace powder has potential to enhance the nutritional and antioxidant potential of the cookies.
