Authors: Genfer Patric , Serbout Souhaila , Simhandl Georg , Zdun Uwe , Pautasso Cesare 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
While microservice architectures have become a widespread option for designing distributed applications, designing secure microservice systems remains challenging. Although various security-related guidelines and practices exist, these systems’ sheer size, complex communication structures, and polyglot tech stacks make it difficult to manually validate whether adequate security tactics are applied throughout their architecture. To address these challenges, we have devised a novel solution that involves the automatic generation of security-annotated software decomposition models and the utilization of security-based metrics to guide software architectures through the assessment of security tactics employed within microservice systems. To evaluate the effectiveness of our artifacts, we conducted a controlled experiment where we asked 60 students from two universities and ten experts from the industry to identify and assess the security features of two microservice reference systems. During the experiment, we tracked the correctness of their answers and the time they needed to solve the given tasks to measure how well they could understand the security tactics applied in the reference systems. Our results indicate that the supplemental material significantly improved the correctness of the participants’ answers without requiring them to consult the documentation more. Most participants also stated in a self-assessment that their understanding of the security tactics used in the systems improved significantly because of the provided material, with the additional diagrams considered very helpful. In contrast, the perception of architectural metrics varied widely. We could also show that novice developers benefited most from the supplementary diagrams. In contrast, senior developers could rely on their experience to compensate for the lack of additional help. Contrary to our expectations, we found no significant correlation between the time spent solving the tasks and the overall correctness score achieved, meaning that participants who took more time to read the documentation did not automatically achieve better results. As far as we know, this empirical study is the first analysis that explores the influence of security annotations in component diagrams to guide software developers when assessing microservice system security.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The extent to which autistic students are provided with autonomy-support, structure and involvement during the teacher-student interaction has been under-researched. Few studies have focused on autistic secondary school students and even fewer have used observations to analyze their interactions. In this research, we aimed to understand the interaction dynamics between autistic students and their teachers in the Netherlands and Mexico; two countries committed to inclusive education. Six teacher-student dyads from five mainstream secondary schools in the Netherlands and seven teacher-student dyads from one school in Mexico participated. We used a fine-grained observational method to describe the classroom interactions, systematically coded from the lens of Self-Determination Theory. To study the interaction as a whole and co-occurring teacher and student behaviors (rather than breaking it down into separate parts), we used State Space Grids. Teacher-student interactions varied widely. In general, Dutch and Mexican teachers provided much structure in the classroom, which (in many cases) coincided with the active engagement of autistic students. At the same time, autistic students in both countries received little autonomy-support. However, when these students received autonomy-support, they responded with more engagement. In contrast, both engaged and disengaged student behaviors occurred when the teacher showed involvement. The desired patterns of interaction were not observed in all teacher-student pairs. Our findings indicate that teachers in both countries are missing opportunities to be autonomy-supportive. This contextual factor was minimally observed in the teacher-student interactions, particularly when compared to the levels of structure and involvement provided during lessons.
Does the bioeconomy literature provide a balanced view of sustainability?
Authors: Virgolino Julia Lessa Feitosa , Holden Nicholas M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Bioeconomy has emerged as a route to sustainability, but it is not inherently sustainable. Given the ambition of bioeconomy policies around the world, it is crucial for scientific literature to offer balanced evidence about sustainable practices across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. This study analysed bioeconomy research over the last 50 years to identify which aspects of sustainability have been prioritized and overlooked. The alignment of bioeconomy literature with the ‘Aspirational Principles and Criteria for a Sustainable Bioeconomy’ defined by FAO was assessed to understand if there is a balance of evidence among environmental, social, and economic interests, or whether specific sustainability considerations are emphasized. Eight critical research gaps emerged: bioeconomy impact on food security, water usage, inclusive consultation, land rights, policy coherence, system resilience, risk assessment, and sustainable consumption practices.

Authors: Barzoki Meysam H. , Kiviruusu Olli , Skogberg Natalia 
Published: February 2025

Summary
Background: Individuals from disadvantaged groups in society are at heightened risk of experiencing low self-esteem. However, limited research has explored self-esteem at the intersection of sex, socioeconomic status (SES), and immigrant origin. Method: This study examines self-esteem among 91,560 adolescents aged 14 to 17 years in Finland, drawing on data from the nationwide School Health Promotion Study. The analysis focuses on how sex, SES, and immigrant origin intersect to influence self-esteem. Results: An analysis of variance revealed large effect sizes for sex, medium effect sizes for SES, and very small effect sizes for immigrant origin on self-esteem. Girls, adolescents from lower SES backgrounds, and 1st generation immigrant and multicultural students exhibited lower self-esteem compared to their peers. A three-way interaction analysis showed that while both boys and girls who were 1st generation immigrants with low SES had the lowest self-esteem, 1st generation immigrant boys from low SES backgrounds were particularly vulnerable to low self-esteem relative to other boys. Conclusion: The independent and interactive effects of sex, SES, and immigrant origin are discussed within the context of Finland, a country known for its relatively low economic and gender inequality. These findings highlight specific groups of adolescents who may be at greater risk of low self-esteem.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The role of feelings of belonging at school in adolescents’ academic and psychological functioning is well established. This study aimed to validate the School Connectedness subscale from the Maryland Safe and Supportive Schools (MDS3) School Climate Survey for secondary school students in Spain. This subscale encompasses the three key dimensions traditionally associated with school belonging. The internal structure of the scale and its measurement invariance across sex and age groups were examined. Additionally, new sources of validity evidence related to psychological adjustment were analyzed. A total of 1774 students aged 14–18 years (M = 15.70; SD = 1.26; 53.7% females) participated in the study. The results confirmed the three-factor structure of the scale, consistent with the theoretical framework proposed. Furthermore, measurement invariance was supported across sex and age groups. School connectedness was positively correlated with personal well-being and self-esteem, and negatively correlated with suicidal behavior, depressive symptoms, and emotional and behavioral problems. The resulting School Connectedness Scale is a brief, easy, and reliable tool for assessing this construct in adolescents. The findings have practical implications for assessing and promoting belongingness in educational settings.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study examines the spatio-temporal dynamics of drought and microclimate variability in Rajasthan, India, from 2010 to 2022 using the Standardized Drought Composite Index (SDCI). The SDCI integrates the Temperature Condition Index (TCI), Precipitation Condition Index (PCI), and Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) to assess drought severity. Remote sensing data from MODIS and CHIRPS were processed using Google Earth Engine (GEE) for large-scale, continuous drought monitoring. The results reveal significant drought conditions in 2014, 2015, 2020, 2021, and 2022, with southeastern districts like Kota, Bundi, and Baran experiencing SDCI values below 0.2, indicating severe drought. Arid regions, including Jaisalmer, Barmer, and Bikaner, consistently exhibited extreme drought (SDCI < 0.1) due to low annual precipitation (less than 250 mm). In contrast, semi-humid regions like Udaipur and Ajmer showed variable drought intensities linked to localized climatic factors. Temperature-related vegetation stress was particularly high during pre-monsoon periods, affecting agricultural productivity. The spatial analysis highlights significant regional disparities in drought severity, emphasizing the need for tailored, location-specific drought management strategies. Incorporating green infrastructure, such as urban forests and permeable pavements, is recommended to mitigate the impacts of drought and desertification. This study underscores the utility of cloud-based geospatial tools for drought monitoring and resource planning, providing critical insights for sustainable urban and agricultural development. Future research could refine the SDCI methodology and integrate socio-economic factors to enhance drought resilience.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Abrasiveness as an intrinsic property of rocks defines the extent of wear or loss when interacting with other materials. In engineering sectors like hard rock mining and tunnelling, comprehending rock abrasiveness holds paramount importance due to its direct effect on tool wear during excavation. Among the diverse methods for assessing rock abrasiveness, the Cerchar abrasivity test emerges as the most widely used approach. Over time, the Cerchar test has garnered substantial attention from scholars, who have delved into the factors influencing test results due to testing conditions and examined the connection between the physical-mechanical parameters of rocks and their abrasiveness. Recent advancements in testing instrument have expanded our ability to measure additional parameters during rock cutting or drilling, yielding fresh insights for abrasiveness assessment, tool wear prediction, tool performance evaluation and rock excavatability estimation. The Cerchar abrasivity test, coupled with recent developments in testing instrument and parameter measurement, holds promising potential for enhancing our comprehension of rock abrasiveness and its practical implications. This review systematically traces the evolution of the test. It commences with an overview of the test origin and progression, emphasizing its pivotal role in assessing rock abrasiveness. Furthermore, it consolidates and categorizes the research contributions from various scholars regarding the test. This includes enhancements and refinements of the testing apparatus, as well as investigations into various testing orientations and their effects on different types of rocks. Moreover, this review illuminates the broader applications and interdisciplinary possibilities of this test, not only in material science but also in tribology. It underscores how the insights gleaned from the Cerchar test can be extrapolated to diverse areas of research beyond the scope of rock engineering.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Perilla frutescens is a traditional medicinal plant and functional food in Asian communities, characterized by distinct red and green leaf types that have significant phenotypic and medicinal implications. However, the genetic mechanisms controlling anthocyanin synthesis in this species remain unclear. Genetic analysis serves as a powerful tool for investigating the pivotal genes and regulatory mechanisms governing anthocyanin accumulation in red and green perilla. In this study, an F2 segregation population was constructed from a hybrid of red and green perilla, and representative samples were subjected to mix-sequencing using BSA-seq and BSR-seq. A 6.0 Mb candidate region on chromosome 8 was identified, pinpointing PfMYB113b, PfC4H1, and PfF3H as key genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis. The insertion of a repeat sequence in the promoter of PfMYB113b leads to alterations in gene expression levels. Furthermore, PfMYB113b regulates the transcription of PfC4H1 and PfF3H, thereby influencing anthocyanin synthesis. These findings enhance our understanding of the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying leaf coloration in perilla.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The convergence of medical and technological developments has continued to transform the delivery of medical care in disaster environments, incorporating advances from telecommunications to physiologic monitoring, artificial intelligence, and computer vision. However, unless the interconnected nature of these developments is conceptualized with a proper framework, there is a risk of overlooking applications, developing silos, and limiting interoperability between innovations. To develop such a framework, this piece integrated a review of current literature, expert insights, and global market trends to propose 4 categories of innovations: (1) Enabling Technologies, (2) Signal Acquisition, (3) Data Utilization, and (4) Applications. Applications can be further subdivided into 4 use cases: (1) Disease and Injury Surveillance and Detection, (2) Population Protection, (3) Responder Protection, and (4) Disease and Injury Management. Practitioners, policymakers, and private sector counterparts can utilize this framework to change their clinical practices, allocate funds in a stepwise fashion, or prioritize development projects, respectively.
Cellular calcium homeostasis and regulation of its dynamic perturbation
Authors: Brownlee Colin , Wheeler Glen L. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) play pivotal roles in a host of cellular signalling processes. The requirement to maintain resting cytosolic Ca2+ levels in the 100–200 nM range provides a baseline for dynamic excursions from resting levels that determine the nature of many physiological responses to external stimuli and developmental processes. This review provides an overview of the key components of the Ca2+ homeostatic machinery, including known channel-mediated Ca2+ entry pathways along with transporters that act to shape the cytosolic Ca2+ signature. The relative roles of the vacuole and endoplasmic reticulum as sources or sinks for cytosolic Ca2+ are considered, highlighting significant gaps in our understanding. The components contributing to mitochondrial, chloroplast and nuclear Ca2+ homeostasis and organellar Ca2+ signals are also considered. Taken together, a complex picture of the cellular Ca2+ homeostatic machinery emerges with some clear differences from mechanisms operating in many animal cells.
LUCIAN’S PRINCIPLES OF HISTORICAL COMPOSITION IN LIGHT OF ANCIENT RHETORICAL THEORY
Authors: Dror Roee 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article explores Lucian’s treatise, How to Write History, in the context of ancient rhetorical and literary theory. While situated within the domain of historiography, the treatise prioritizes issues related to literary composition, such as the linguistic register and content selection deemed fitting for the historical genre. Through comparisons with critics and theoreticians like Aristotle and Demetrius, this study re-evaluates Lucian’s instructions for preface writing and other stylistic guidelines throughout the work. The conclusions highlight Lucian’s innovative approach to historical composition, influenced by rhetorical and literary theory yet reshaped to fit his vision of history and its purpose. Additionally, the examination reveals Lucian’s strategic use of rhetorical and literary theory in critiquing not only writing style but also issues intrinsic to history.
HOW DID CLEON DRESS FOR THE ASSEMBLY? ARISTOPHANES, PEACE 685–7 AND ATHÊNAIⓞN POLITEIA 28.3
Authors: Tordoff Robert 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article argues that a joke about the demagogue Hyperbolus in Aristophanes’ Peace (685–7) can be illuminated by a reconsideration of the meaning of the little-attested word περιζωσάμενος in the Aristotelian Constitution of the Athenians (Athênaiôn Politeia 28.3), where it describes how Cleon dressed in an unconventional manner when appearing before the assembly. In recent translation of and commentary on the Aristotelian text there appears to have been no investigation of the meaning of περιζωσάμενος in Greek comedy: readers are informed that Cleon either hitched up his (unspecified) clothing or somehow fastened his cloak to allow him to make gestures with both hands. However, the philological and material-cultural evidence presented here points to something more specific and more dramatic. Elsewhere in classical and later Greek the word περιζώννυσθαι means belting or knotting something around the waist and is most frequently found in contexts of manual labour. Here, it is argued that the import of Athênaiôn Politeia 28.3 is that Cleon spoke to the assembly dressed for work in his family’s tannery—a powerful symbol of his allegiance to the manual-labouring demos and his antagonism towards the aristocratic elite. It is to his unconventional self-fashioning that Aristophanes alludes in Peace when he jokes that after Cleon’s death the naked demos has wrapped itself (περιεζώσατο) in Hyperbolus, the new leader of the people.
Receptors for growth and development of Schistosoma mansoni
Authors: Abou-El-Naga Iman F. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The growth and development of schistosomes are tightly regulated by various receptors throughout their life cycle. Each stage of the parasite inhabits a distinct habitat and responds to different factors that drive its growth and development. With two hosts involved in its life cycle (mammalian and snail), the parasite must go through additional free-living stages to transition between them. Moreover, communication between male and female worms is essential for the maturation of females. The ability of adult schistosomes to survive in human hosts for up to thirty years demonstrates their capacity to efficiently utilize host nutrients for metabolic processes and growth. In Schistosoma mansoni, receptors mediate the utilization of growth factors derived from both the parasite itself and the host. Nuclear receptors, in particular, collaborate with other proteins to regulate the expression of genes essential for various developmental functions. Receptors also play a pivotal role in RNA export, which is crucial for the parasite development. Additionally, neurotransmitter receptors are essential for the growth and development of larval stages. This review aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which these receptors regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and maturation throughout the parasite life cycle. Understanding these processes could provide insights into the role of receptors in Schistosoma mansoni development and potentially lead to innovative therapeutic strategies to combat human schistosomiasis.
