Mapping Approaches to ‘Citizen Science’ and ‘Community Science’ and Everything In-between: The Evolution of New Epistemic Territory?
Authors: Hacking Nick , Lewis Jamie , Evans Robert 
Published: May 2024

AbstractOver the last decade or so, the rate of growth of academic publications involving discussion of ‘citizen science’ and ‘community science’, and similar variants, has risen exponentially. These fluid terms, with no fixed definition, cover a continuum of public participation within a range of scientific activities. It is, therefore, apposite and timely to examine the evolving typologies of citizen science and community science and to ask how particular disciplinary actors are shaping content and usage. Do certain approaches to citizen science and community science activity remain siloed within specific disciplines or do some approaches resonate more widely? In this study, we use mixed methods—bibliometric and textual analysis—to chart the changing academic interpretations of this scientific activity over time. We then ask what these analyses mean for the future direction of academic research into citizen science and community science. The results suggest that, while certain disciplinary-based interpretations have been particularly influential in the past, a more epistemically mixed array of academic interests than was previously evident are currently determining expectations of what citizen science and community science should look like and what they can be expected to deliver.
Language change and the Degree Semantics Parameter
Authors: Hohaus Vera 
Published: May 2024

AbstractBeck et al. (2009) and much follow-up research (including Bochnak 2015; Bowler 2016; Deal and Hohaus 2019) argue that languages systematically differ in the semantics of gradable predicates like tall and old, with some languages adopting a vague, delineation-based semantics and others adopting a relational, degree-based semantics. Beck et al. (2009) capture this point of variation in the so-called Degree Semantics Parameter. Based on elicitation and corpus data, we suggest here that the grammar of Samoan (Austronesian, Oceanic; Independent State of Samoa, American Samoa) has recently undergone a change from one parameter setting to the other, triggered by the addition of a degree-based comparative operator to the functional lexicon of the language. This operator developed through lexical and syntactic re-analysis from a directional particle. In Samoan, the grammar of degree is thus modelled after the grammar of another scalar domain, directed motion in space, a strategy that the typological literature suggests is cross-linguistically common.
Hebban olla vogala: An Eleventh-Century Link Between Dutch and English Literary History
Authors: Angerer Michael Lysander 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe short eleventh-century lyric Hebban olla vogala is considered the earliest literary text in Dutch. Yet it only survives as a badly faded pen trial, written in England by a monk from the Low Countries. As a result, the exact reading of the text and even the language it was written in remain uncertain. Now, multispectral imaging of the manuscript has made it possible to provide an improved reconstruction of the text. An analysis of this new reading suggests that the scribe deliberately used the similarity between dialects of late Old English and Old Dutch to produce a rhyming verse text that was intelligible in both languages. As a multilingual and translingual poem, Hebban olla vogala must therefore be situated in English as well as Dutch literary history. The scribe’s other pen trials in the same manuscript demonstrate an interest in different Latin verse forms, indicating that Hebban olla vogala may also be a literary experiment. In exploiting the mutual intelligibility of Old Dutch and Old English, the poem points to an easily overlooked current of influence on late Old English and early Middle English literature. While this is hard to trace due to the similarities between the two languages, Dutch emerges as another potential influence, alongside Anglo-Norman French, on the development of rhyming verse in English after the Norman Conquest. In this way, Hebban olla vogala can be seen not only as a monument of Dutch literary history, but also as a testament to its interaction with English literature.
Multi-view Multi-label Learning with Shared Features Inconsistency
Authors: Li Qingyan , Cheng Yusheng 
Published: May 2024

AbstractMulti-view multi-label (MVML) learning is a framework for solving the problem of associating a single instance with a set of class labels in the presence of multiple types of data features. The extraction of shared features among multiple views for label prediction is a common MVML learning method. However, previous approaches assumed that the number and association degree of shared features were the same across views. In fact, they differ in the number and degree of association. The above assumption can lead to a poor communicability of the views. Therefore, this paper proposes an MVML learning method based on the inconsistent shared features extracted by the graph attention model. The first step is to extract the shared and private features of multiple views. Next, the graph attention mechanism is adopted to learn the association degree of shared features of different views and calculate the adjacency matrix and attention coefficient. The number of associations is determined by taking the obtained adjacency matrix as a mask matrix, while the association degree of shared features is measured by the attention weight matrix. Finally, the new shared features are obtained for multi-label prediction. We conducted experiments on seven MVML datasets to compare the proposed algorithm with seven advanced algorithms. The experimental results demonstrate the advantages of our algorithm.
A fallible narrator and an inscrutable object: desire as structure in Dostoevsky’s The Eternal Husband
Authors: Phillips James 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis article argues that one of the means by which Dostoevsky achieves polyphony in the limited point-of-view narration of The Eternal Husband (1870) is through the tension between the character Velchaninov’s overt aversion and his subterranean attraction to Trusotsky, the cuckold of the title. While Trusotsky is more forthright in expressing his love for Velchaninov and has thus previously raised the question of homosexuality for commentators on Dostoevsky’s novella, the text also provides sufficient clues to infer that Velchaninov is erotically responsive. The subtlety of Dostoevsky’s depiction of this responsiveness is crucial to the polyphonic effect he secures for the work. The narration, which proceeds from Velchaninov’s perspective, imbricates the discrete layers of what is thought, what is said and what is done without being openly thought. The monological principle of composition, to which the limited point-of-view narrative format generically predisposes many earlier writers but whose alienness to Dostoevsky is Bakhtin’s central contention, thereby fails to assert itself in the novella.
Landscape classification with self-organizing map using user participation and environmental data: the case of the Seoul Metropolitan Area

Published: May 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to develop a method for assessing landscapes using environmental data and user-generated data, which are commonly employed in landscape research. It focused on the Seoul metropolitan area in South Korea, devising evaluation indicators for five key concepts: naturalness, diversity, imageability, historicity, and disturbance. These indicators were used to assess the landscapes based on each index. We employed a self-organizing map, an artificial neural network technique, to categorize the landscape units and developed eight evaluation indicators for the five key concepts, organizing the study area’s landscapes into six distinct landscape units. This study identified landscape unit types with increased vulnerability to visual blight or heightened public awareness by considering both user characteristics and environmental attributes in the metropolitan area landscapes. Finally, we discussed future tasks for appropriate landscape management based on each landscape area’s characteristics to maintain and enhance landscape quality.
Systemic metabolic benefits of 17α-estradiol are not exclusively mediated by ERα in glutamatergic or GABAergic neurons
Authors: Camon Celine , Prescott Mel , Neyt Christine , Decourt Caroline , Stout Michael B. , Campbell Rebecca E. , Garratt Michael 
Published: May 2024

Abstract17α-Estradiol (17αE2), a less-feminising enantiomer of 17β-estradiol, has been shown to prolong lifespan and improve metabolic health in a sex-specific manner in male, but not in female mice. Recent studies have demonstrated the pivotal role of estrogen receptor α (ERα) in mediating the effects of 17αE2 on metabolic health. However, the specific tissues and/or neuronal signalling pathways that 17αE2 acts through remain to be elucidated. ERα expression in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons (principal excitatory and inhibitory neurons respectively) in the hypothalamus is essential for estradiol signalling. Therefore, we hypothesised that knocking out ERα from one of these neuronal populations would attenuate the established beneficial metabolic effects of 17αE2 in male mice exposed to a high fat diet. To test this hypothesis we used two established brain specific ERα KO models, targeting either glutamatergic or GABAergic neurons (Vglut2/Vgat-ERαKO). We show that both of these ERα KO models exhibit a strong reduction in ERα expression in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, a control centre for metabolic regulation. Deletion of ERα from GABAergic neurons significantly diminished the effect of 17αE2 on body weight relative to controls, although these animals still show metabolic benefits with 17αE2 treatment. The response to 17αE2 was unaffected by ERα deletion in glutamatergic neurons. Our results support a benefit of 17αE2 treatment in protection against metabolic dysfunction, but these effects do not depend on exclusive ERα expression in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and persist when ERα expression is strongly reduced in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.
On the least square prenucleolus for games with externalities
Authors: Fiestras-Janeiro M. G. , Saavedra-Nieves A. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In this paper we address the problem of determining the least square prenucleolus for games with externalities. Specifically, this solution is based on the minimization of the variance of the excess vectors that can be associated to any allocation vector over the set of all embedded coalitions using a least square criterion. From a theoretical point of view, an axiomatization of this solution is provided. Besides, we analyse its relations with other proposals of solution in the game-theoretical literature.
Interdiffusion Studies in Alloy 617 and 10Cr Steel Joints Using Diffusion Couple Approach and Simulations

Published: May 2024

AbstractIn the steam turbine circuit of advanced ultra supercritical power plants dissimilar joints of alloy 617 and 10Cr steel are unavoidable due to economic reasons. In these joints diffusional interaction causing change in microstructure is identified as possible reason for failure during service. To investigate the interdiffusion driven structural changes, alloy 617/10Cr steel diffusion couples were fabricated. To achieve good metallurgical bond between Fe- and Ni-based alloys and to study diffusional transformations under accelerated conditions, diffusion couples were prepared by annealing in the temperature range of 1000-1100 °C for 3-8 h. For all conditions heat treatment interaction zones were wider in alloy 617 (150-200 μm at 1050 °C, 8 h) than in 10Cr steel (15-16 μm at 1050 °C, 8 h) and the phase stability at the interface was studied using electron microprobe and x-ray diffraction. Average effective interdiffusion coefficients were calculated using Dayananda’s approach. While the diffusivities of substitutional solutes were similar in alloy 617 (0.31-0.42 × 10−15 m2/s at 1050 °C), they differed in 10Cr steel in the following sequence: $$\tilde{D}_{{{\text{Cr}}}}$$

Further, multicomponent interdiffusion profiles were predicted using homogenization model in DICTRA and an integrated approach combining DICTRA with Thermo-Calc helped in understanding the experimental observations on the interface microstructure.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to examine the species diversity and structure of the strongylid community in domestic horses in Eastern Slovakia. Also, an analysis of the impact of age, sex, and collection location factors on the strongyid communities was performed.

Methods
Twenty-seven horses 1.5–21 years old from two farms in eastern Slovakia with different horse-management conditions were studied. Strongylids were collected after horse treatments with Noromectin (0.2 mg ivermectin); 66,170 specimens were collected and identified. Faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) was performed following fenbendazole (FBZ) and ivermectin (IVM) treatments.

Results
Twenty-four strongylid species were found; horses were infected with 6 to 16 (average = 11.7) species. Six cyathostomin species (Cylicocyclus nassatus, Cyathostomum catinatum, C. pateratum, Cylicostephanus longibursatus, C. goldi, C. calicatus) were the most prevalent; C. catinatum was the dominant species in both farms (Berger-Parker index 0.34 and 0.42). The structure of the strongylid community was multimodal with dominant, subdominant, background, and rare species. The Mantel test showed that horse age and sex did not significantly affect the nematode infracommunity composition (p > 0.05), while the impact of the collection location (farm) was significant (p = 0.03). Additionally, C. longibursatus was identified as the species contributing significantly to the observed farm differences. Strong resistance to FBZ was documented on both farms (FECRT was 36.4% and 22.7%); IVM resistance was not observed (FECRT = 100%).

Conclusion
This study presents the first report on the strongylids parasitizing domestic horses in Eastern Slovakia and gives basic information for further studies of horse parasites and their control in the region.
Effect of wettable and hydrophobic biochar addition on properties of sandy soil

Published: May 2024

AbstractSandy soils have high hydraulic conductivity and low retention ability for water and nutrients, resulting in low fertility. As water retention of coarse-textured soil is substantially more sensitive to the amount of organic carbon than fine-textured soils, the amendment of sandy soils with biochar is often used. The objective of this study was to find the effect of water-repellent and wettable biochar addition on the porosity, P, saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, soil water retention curves, SWRC, plant available water content, AWC, water drop penetration time, WDPT and contact angle, CA of sandy soil. It was observed that biochar addition led to a significant increase in both P and AWC in all treatments, indicating a positive impact on soil water retention. The water-repellent biochar addition led to the statistically significant decrease in Ks, caused by the water-repellent biochar particles between the sand grains preventing water movement in the soil. The wettable biochar addition led to a statistically insignificant decrease in Ks. The addition of very strongly and extremely water-repellent biochar induced slight severity of water repellency (40° ≤ CA < 90°) and did not induce persistence of water repellency (WDPT < 5 s) in the biochar-soil mixture. After an addition of wettable biochar, the biochar-soil mixtures were wettable. A relation between the Ks and CA in sandy soil amended with wettable and hydrophobic biochars was found, which is a novelty of our study.

Abstract
Purpose
Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is associated with severe cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the non-invasive gold standard for assessing cardiac structure and function; however, few CMR studies explore cardiac remodeling in patients exposed to chronic glucocorticoid (GC) excess. We aimed to describe the CMR features directly attributable to previous GC exposure in patients with cured or treated endogenous CS.

Methods
This was a prospective, multicentre, case-control study enrolling consecutive patients with cured or treated CS and patients harboring non-functioning adrenal incidentalomas (NFAI), comparable in terms of sex, age, CV risk factors, and BMI. All patients were in stable condition and had a minimum 24-month follow-up.

Results
Sixteen patients with CS and 15 NFAI were enrolled. Indexed left ventricle (LV) end-systolic volume and LV mass were higher in patients with CS (p = 0.027; p = 0.013); similarly, indexed right ventricle (RV) end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes were higher in patients with CS compared to NFAI (p = 0.035; p = 0.006). Morphological alterations also affected cardiac function, as LV and RV ejection fractions decreased in patients with CS (p = 0.056; p = 0.044). CMR features were independent of metabolic status or other CV risk factors, with fasting glucose significantly lower in CS remission than NFAI (p < 0.001) and no differences in lipid levels or blood pressure.

Conclusion
CS is associated with biventricular cardiac structural and functional impairment at CMR, likely attributable to chronic exposure to cortisol excess independently of known traditional risk factors.

Published: May 2024

AbstractStereoisomers are molecules that are identical in atomic constitution and bonding. The biological properties may, however, differ significantly between two enantiomers (individual stereoisomers). JBC 1847, a phenothiazine derivative with strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, exists in two enantiomers, S and R. Under standard chemical synthesis (S)-and (R)-JBC 1847 will be present in 50/50 amount (racemic). In this study, we have investigated the antimicrobial activity, the in vivo tolerance and therapeutic efficacy of purified (S)-JBC 1847. Compared to JBC 1847 racemic, the antimicrobial activity of (S)-JBC 1847 in vitro was in the same range or slightly increased, while the maximum tolerable concentration in vivo was five times higher for (S)-JBC 1847 (5 mg/kg versus 20 mg/kg bodyweight). Furthermore, the in vivo efficacy of (S)-JBC 1847 in a mouse peritonitis MRSA model was comparable to the activity of vancomycin. In conclusion, the antimicrobial activity and tolerance of a medical stereoisomeric compound may be significantly different using purified enantiomers compared with the racemic state.
Redefining Meaning: A Micro-Genetic Model of the Constitution of Experience
Authors: Reho Matteo , Salvatore Sergio 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis article aims to renew the discussion about meaning in the field of psychology. A model is presented that, contrary to the classical view of meaning as an entity taken for granted, explains the dynamics through which it comes to be constituted, opening itself to the possibility of being experienced, as a psychological reality. The autoethnographic analysis carried out by von Fircks (IBPS 53(4):632–643, 2023) is used as example to show how such a model enables an understanding of local phenomena through the comprehension of the semiotic dynamics underlying them. Finally, this paper offers insights into the mechanisms that underlie the field of possibility of meaning-making processes, thus of human experience.
Positive Parenting, Prosocial Behavior, Meaning in Life, and Subjective Well-being in Adolescents: a Parallel and Serial Mediation Analysis
Authors: Arslan Gökmen 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect relationships among positive parenting, meaning in life, prosocial behavior, and subjective well-being using a parallel and serial mediation model. We sought to examine whether meaning in life and prosocial behavior mediate the association between parenting and subjective well-being, and whether prosocial behavior mediates the relationship between this positive parenting and adolescents’ sense of meaning in life. This research involved 408 high school adolescents who were registered in a Turkish high school. The student composition was 30.5% male and 69.5% female, with ages ranging from 13 to 18 years (mean = 15.80, standard deviation = 1.27). Parallel mediation analyses indicated that meaning in life and prosocial behavior mediated the relationship between positive parenting (i.e., strength-based parenting) and adolescent subjective well-being. Furthermore, the serial mediation model revealed that these variables mediated this relationship, and prosocial behavior served as a mediator in the association between parenting and meaning in life. Additional results also suggested that the mediating role of meaning in life and prosocial behavior may differ between female and male adolescents. As a result, the study provides evidence that positive parenting practices are a significant factor in increased subjective well-being and that meaning in life and prosocial behaviors, in turn, enhance parents’ impact on adolescent well-being.
