AbstractSwitching between similar food and beverage products may reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe). Here, using consumer data linked to 23,550 product-specific GHGe values, we estimated annual GHGe attributable to product purchases consumed at home in Australia and calculated reductions from specific switches. Potential changes to mean Health Star Rating, mean energy density and the proportion of ultraprocessed foods purchased were assessed. Approximately 31 million tonnes of GHGe were attributable to products consumed at home in 2019, the three highest contributors of GHGe being ‘meat and meat products’ (49%), ‘dairy’ (17%) and ‘non-alcoholic beverages’ (16%). Switching higher-emission products for ‘very similar’ lower-emission products could reduce total emissions by 26%. Switches to ‘less similar’ lower-emission products could lead to a 71% reduction. Switches had little impact on the average Health Star Rating, energy density of purchases and proportion of ultraprocessed foods purchased. Directing manufacturing and marketing towards lower-environmental-impact products and signposting such options to consumers are key.

AbstractProtein transition and circular food system transition are two proposed strategies for supporting food system sustainability. Here we model animal-sourced protein to plant-sourced protein ratios within a European circular food system, finding that maintaining the current animal–plant protein share while redesigning the system with circular principles resulted in the largest relative reduction of 44% in land use and 70% in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared with the current food system. Shifting from a 60:40 to a 40:60 ratio of animal-sourced proteins to plant-sourced proteins yielded a 60% reduction in land use and an 81% GHG emission reduction, while supporting nutritionally adequate diets. Differences between current and recommended total protein intake did not substantially impact minimal land use and GHG emissions. Micronutrient inadequacies occurred with less than 18 g animal protein per capita per day. Redesigning the food system varied depending on whether land use or GHG emissions were reduced—highlighting the need for a food system approach when designing policies to enhance human and planetary health.

AbstractAs a consequence of on-going global warming, the ocean is losing oxygen, which has implications not only in terms of marine resources management and food supply but also in terms of the potentially important feedback on the global carbon cycle and climate. Of particular scrutiny are the extended zones of already low levels of oxygen called the oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) embedded in the subsurface waters of the productive Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS). These OMZs are currently diversely simulated by state-of-the-art Earth System Models (ESM) hampering a reliable projection of ocean deoxygenation on marine ecosystem services in these regions. Here we focus on the most emblematic EBUS OMZs of the planet, that of the South Eastern Pacific (SEP), which is under the direct influence of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the main climate mode on interannual timescales at global scale. We show that, despite the low consensus among ESM long-term projections of oxygen levels, the sensitivity of the depth of the upper margin (oxycline) of the SEP OMZ to El Niño events in an ensemble of ESMs can be used as a predictor of its long-term trend, which establishes an emergent constraint for the SEP OMZ. Because the oxycline along the coast of Peru and Chile deepens during El Niño events, the upper bound of the SEP OMZ is thus likely to deepen in the future climate, therefore oxygenating the SEP OMZ. This has implications not only for understanding the nitrogen and carbon cycles at global scale but also for designing adaptation strategies for regional upper-ocean ecosystem services.

AbstractMicrotubule-based kinesin motor proteins are crucial for intracellular transport, but their hyperactivation can be detrimental for cellular functions. This study investigated the impact of a constitutively active ciliary kinesin mutant, OSM-3CA, on sensory cilia in C. elegans. Surprisingly, we found that OSM-3CA was absent from cilia but underwent disposal through membrane abscission at the tips of aberrant neurites. Neighboring glial cells engulf and eliminate the released OSM-3CA, a process that depends on the engulfment receptor CED-1. Through genetic suppressor screens, we identified intragenic mutations in the OSM-3CA motor domain and mutations inhibiting the ciliary kinase DYF-5, both of which restored normal cilia in OSM-3CA-expressing animals. We showed that conformational changes in OSM-3CA prevent its entry into cilia, and OSM-3CA disposal requires its hyperactivity. Finally, we provide evidence that neurons also dispose of hyperactive kinesin-1 resulting from a clinic variant associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, suggesting a widespread mechanism for regulating hyperactive kinesins.
Change detection in SAR image based on weighted difference image generation and optimized random forest

Published: May 2024

AbstractSynthetic aperture radar (SAR) image change detection suffers from poor quality of the difference image and low detection accuracy. Hence, this paper proposes a SAR image change detection method based on a fused difference image and an optimized random forest scheme, termed LRN‐SSARF. Specifically, a fusion operator difference image LRN is proposed, which is generated using a weighted fusion of log‐ratio (LR), ratio (R), and normalized ratio (NoR). This difference image generation method reduces noise's influence. Then, the Otsu algorithm is applied to segment the difference image and select the training samples. The training samples are input into the random forest (RF) model optimised by the sparrow search algorithm (SSA) for training and classification. Finally, the region link is uesd to refine the detection results and generate the final result. The change detection results of six real SAR image scenes highlight that the proposed algorithm has a high detection accuracy, and affords appealing integrity and detailed information about the change regions. Specially, the detection accuracy advantage of the Bangladesh dataset is larger, with the accuracy and Kappa coefficient reaching 98.04% and 92.00%, much higher than the competitor methods.

Authors: Zhou Ke , Jin Qingren , Feng Bin , Wu Lifang 
Published: May 2024

AbstractMobile energy storage (MES), as a flexible resource, plays a significant role in disaster emergency response. Rational pre‐positioning ahead of disasters can accelerate the dispatch of MES to power outage areas, and further reduce load losses. This paper focuses on typhoon disasters and studies the MES pre‐positioning method for distribution networks coupled with transportation networks. Firstly, a typhoon model considering the typhoon eye was formulated. Secondly, the analysis covering the diverse impacts of typhoons on the ‘generation‐transmission‐load‐road’ system was conducted. Subsequently, a bi‐level pre‐positioning model, considering multi‐index evaluation, was established based on scenario‐based stochastic optimization. Finally, the modified MATPOWER 18‐node test system was utilized to verify the performance of the proposed method, and the simulation results demonstrated its effectiveness and applicability.

AbstractA new method for the preparation of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxypicolinic acid, the acid moiety of the fungicidally active natural product UK-2A is reported. In contrast to the two previously reported routes to UK-2A acid, which start from 3-hydroxypyridine and furfural, this novel synthesis applies maltol as inexpensive starting material and proceeds via a unique modification of the Pummerer reaction.

Published: May 2024

Objective In the era of group B Streptococcus (GBS) screening and intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP), GBS colonization has been associated with a lower risk of chorioamnionitis, possibly due to a protective effect of IAP. We sought to confirm this finding and assess whether this association varies by gestational week at delivery.
Study Design We performed a retrospective cohort study of term (37.0–42.6 weeks), singleton parturients with known GBS status who delivered from 2005 to 2021 at two academic medical centers in Israel. We excluded patients who underwent planned cesarean, out of hospital birth, or had a fetal demise. Patients received GBS screening and IAP for GBS positivity as routine clinical care. The primary outcome was a diagnosis of clinical chorioamnionitis as determined by the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision code, compared between GBS-positive and -negative groups, and assessed by gestational week at delivery.
Results Of 292,126 deliveries, 155,255 met inclusion criteria. In total, 30.1% were GBS positive and 69.9% were negative. GBS-positive patients were 21% less likely to be diagnosed with clinical chorioamnionitis than GBS-negative patients, even after controlling for confounders (1.5 vs. 2.2%, adjusted odds ratio: 0.79, 95% confidence interval: 0.68–0.92). When assessed by gestational week at delivery, there was a significantly greater difference in rates of clinical chorioamnionitis between GBS-positive versus GBS-negative groups with advancing gestational age: 1.5-fold difference at 38 to 40 weeks, but a twofold difference at 42 weeks. The risk of clinical chorioamnionitis remained stable in the GBS-positive group, but increased significantly in the GBS-negative group at 41- and 42-week gestation (2.0 vs. 2.9%, p < 0.01 at 41 weeks; up to 3.9% at 42 weeks, p < 0.01).
Conclusion In a large multicenter cohort with universal GBS screening and IAP, GBS positivity was associated with a lower risk of chorioamnionitis, driven by an increasing rate of chorioamnionitis among GBS-negative patients after 40 weeks.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Introduction Understanding the relationship between word retrieval treatment and discourse skills is deemed pivotal, as it gives the individuals a more naturalistic linguistic performance.
Objective The aim of this study was to unravel the impact of word retrieval treatment on discourse skills.
Method and Materials Semantic cueing of verbs and its thematic role (SCVTr) treatment were rendered to 11 persons with aphasia (PWAs). Subsequent to therapy, discourse skills were evaluated in the pretreatment, midtreatment, posttreatment, and follow-up phases using both qualitative (discourse analysis scale) and quantitative (T-unit analysis) measures. The follow-up phase in the study began after 1 month of cessation of treatment.
Results The outcome of the study evinced statistical differences in the discourse skills in both qualitative and quantitative measures of discourse between pre-, mid-, and posttreatment phases. However, no statistical difference was found between the posttreatment and follow-up phases across qualitative and quantitative measures. This signifies there are no differences in discourse skills after the cessation of treatment.
Conclusion The study findings seemed to be novel, as the study explored the impact of word retrieval treatment on discourse skills. It also sheds light on the importance of discourse analysis and the ways of measuring it in PWAs. Overall, the study finding seems conducive as it posits positive outcomes in both qualitative and quantitative measures of discourse skills following word retrieval treatment.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Background Abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, increased blood pressure (BP), and increased plasma glucose are all elements of metabolic syndrome (MS). Patients with above diseases have higher risks of developing insulin resistance, visceral obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, and thus coronary artery disease and stroke. So, the purpose of this study was to explore potential neck circumference (NC) cutoff lines for the diagnosis of MS.
Methods Between November 2020 and November 2022, a total of 150 patients with MS along with age and sex-matched controls (150) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometric indices like waist–hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI), NC, as well as biochemicals like lipid profiles, fasting blood sugar (FBS), and BP were assessed.
Results MS was found to be substantially correlated with NC. The NC threshold for diagnosing MS was 34 cm, with 77% sensitivity and 73% specificity. NC was found to be significantly correlated with BMI, systolic and diastolic BP, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, FBS, and WHR, with p-values of all variables less than 0.001.
Conclusion MS can be evaluated using NC. To identify people at risk of developing MS, a cutoff value might be employed.
An Adult Case of Medulloblastoma with Multiple Lung Metastatic Lesions—Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Azab Mohammed A. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractMedulloblastoma (MB) cerebelli is a common brain tumor of the childhood. MB commonly spreads through cerebrospinal fluid; however, there are several reported cases of extracranial spread. The most common sites of extracranial metastasis are bones and bone marrow followed by peritoneum, liver, and lungs. Here, we report a case of pulmonary metastatic lesions of adult cerebellar MB that were discovered 1 year after the primary surgical treatment. We also tried to highlight similar reported cases in the literature.
Fourth Ventricular Rosai–Dorfman Disease Mimicking Intraventricular Tumor in Young Adult: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Chougule Meghana V. , Prabhakar Shankaran , Tadwalkar Nikhil , Ranade Atul 
Published: May 2024

AbstractRosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy can present with or without systemic disease. It is a benign histioproliferative disorder characterized by generalized lymphadenopathy, weakness, anemia, and rarely extranodal involvement. While RDD most commonly affects lymph nodes, extranodal involvement of multiple organs has been reported, including the central nervous system (CNS). However, CNS involvement in RDD is rare and is not well characterized. Isolated involvement of the fourth ventricle is even rarer. Such lesions may be mistaken for intraventricular tumors such as ependymoma or medulloblastoma. This report highlights the necessity to consider RDD as a differential diagnosis in case of intraventricular space-occupying lesion.
Group-constrained assortment optimization under the multinomial logit model
Authors: Heger Julia , Klein Robert 
Published: May 2024

AbstractWe study an assortment problem under the multinomial logit model with two new types of group constraints that are motivated by a joint project with the German car manufacturer BMW. Under group constraints, products are either attributed to exactly one group or to several groups at once and there is either a bound on the number of products offered per group or on the number of groups from which products are offered. We formulate both optimization problems as binary fractional linear program and provide reformulations that can be solved using state-of-the-art solvers. Finally, we conduct a numerical study and find that all instances of the products-per-group constrained problem as well as small to medium size instances of the number-of-offered-groups constrained problem can be solved within fractions of a second, whereas large instances of the latter problem might take some seconds to be solved.
Knowledge creates value: the role of financial literacy in entrepreneurial behavior
Authors: Xu Shulin , Jiang Kangqi 
Published: May 2024

AbstractUnder the backdrop of economic globalization and the digital economy, entrepreneurial behavior has emerged not only as a focal point of management research but also as an urgent topic within the domain of family finance. This paper scrutinizes the ramifications of financial literacy on household entrepreneurial behavior utilizing data from China’s sample of the China Household Finance Survey spanning the years 2015 and 2017. Employing the ordered Probit model, we pursue our research objectives. Our findings suggest that financial literacy exerts immediate, persistent, and evolving positive effects on households’ engagement in entrepreneurial activities and their proclivity toward entrepreneurship. Through the mitigation of endogeneity in the regression model, the outcomes of the two-stage regression corroborate the primary regression results. An examination of heterogeneity unveils noteworthy disparities between urban and rural areas, as well as gender discrepancies, in how financial literacy influences household entrepreneurial behavior. Furthermore, this study validates three potential pathways—namely income, social network, and risk attitude channels—demonstrating that financial literacy significantly augments household income, expands social networks, and enhances risk attitudes. Moreover, through supplementary analysis, we ascertain that financial education amplifies the impact of financial literacy on entrepreneurial behavior. Our study contributes to the enrichment of human capital theory and modern entrepreneurship theory. It advocates for robust efforts by governments and financial institutions to widely disseminate financial knowledge and foster family entrepreneurship, thereby fostering the robust and stable operation of both the global financial market and the job market.
How the communication style of chatbots influences consumers’ satisfaction, trust, and engagement in the context of service failure
Authors: Cai Na , Gao Shuhong , Yan Jinzhe 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis study examines consumers’ reactions to the communication styles of chatbots during failed service experiences. The current study explores whether the communication style adopted by a chatbot impacts consumer satisfaction and behavior intention and how expectancy violations can moderate these relationships in the service context. A pre-test examined the validity of the stimuli of chatbots that were either task-oriented or social-oriented after consumers encountered service failure. For more information, the experiment was designed to manipulate the AI-based chatbot agent’s process and style of communication and measure the role of expectancy violations. The main experiment results showed that interactions with social-oriented communication style chatbots enhance the level of consumers’ interaction satisfaction and intention of behavior. Respondents experienced a higher perception of warmth when interacting with social-oriented communication style chatbots than task-oriented. Moreover, expectancy violation moderates the mediation of warmth on the relationship between the chatbot’s communication style/type and interaction satisfaction, trust, and intention of patronage. Setting chatbots’ communication styles to be social-oriented can help reduce negative emotions among consumers caused by service failure; specifically, the perception of warmth created by the social-oriented communication style can alleviate negative evaluations of service agents and companies, such as dissatisfaction and loss of interest. Therefore, in managerial practice, the firm should choose the social-oriented communication style chatbot agent to recover the customer relationship after a service failure.

Résumé
Cet article a pour objectif de tester la méthode de rapport des problèmes et stratégies de traduction
(Compte-rendu intégré des problèmes et décisions abrégé CRIPD) de Gile (2004, 2005) en confrontant les commentaires de traduction rédigés par des
étudiants avec les erreurs qu’ils ont commises dans leurs traductions. L’hypothèse formulée est que plus les commentaires sont
nombreux, variés et précis, moins les traductions comporteront d’erreurs. Pour vérifier cette hypothèse, nous avons constitué un
corpus électronique de 60 traductions commentées dans le cadre du cours de traduction spécialisée du Master en traduction
multidisciplinaire de l’Université de Mons. Les résultats montrent qu’il y a effectivement un lien de corrélation entre la
quantité et la qualité de commentaires et le nombre et le type d’erreurs relevées : les étudiants ayant fourni des commentaires
(i) nombreux (ii) variés et (iii) précis ont tendance à faire globalement moins d’erreurs que ceux qui rédigent peu de
commentaires ou des commentaires peu variés et moins précis. Ces résultats ouvrent des pistes d’encadrement individuel ciblé sur
les besoins de chaque étudiant en traduction.
Visualizing biodiversity on maps
Authors: Scheller Katharina 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Maps play a central role in the transfer of knowledge for biodiversity conservation. However, their production and reception contexts have not been sufficiently investigated so far. While critical cartography has demonstrated that maps are not objective representations of nature but are influenced by social conventions, these insights have not been fully reflected in ecological mapping practice. This paper draws on critical map theory and expands it with a critical evaluation of map visualization. By analyzing the design of biodiversity maps, our study demonstrates that the way biodiversity is visualized in maps does not adequately reflect the dynamics and interdependencies of natural systems, nor does it adequately reflect the species-specific needs. It is argued that design-led research provides relevant knowledge about evaluating maps in terms of their functionality as communication tools. This is of central importance if we wish to further develop ecological cartography and make it practicable and effective in its field of application.
