Published: May 2024

Societal Impact StatementRice wild relatives (RWR) provide valuable genetic resources for modern rice breeding, yet knowledge gaps constrain their conservation and further utilization. To address these gaps, the potential distributions of 22 RWR taxa were modeled, and their conservation statuses were assessed. Most taxa were identified as medium priority for further conservation. Further ex‐situ collecting hotspots are in Southeast and South Asia, Northern Australia, West Africa, and tropical Americas, while habitat protection lies in Southeast and South Asia, Northern Australia, and West Africa. Climate change may shift equatorial habitats to higher latitudes and mountain habitats to higher altitudes.Summary

Rice wild relatives (RWR) provide valuable genetic resources for modern rice breeding. However, knowledge gaps on their geographic distributions and conservation status constrain their conservation and further utilization.
To fill these critical gaps, we modeled the potential distributions of 22 RWR taxa under current climate scenarios, assessed their conservation status, both ex situ (in genebanks or botanical gardens) and in situ (in protected areas), and examined changes in taxa richness of RWR in predicted areas under future climate scenarios.
The RWR were primarily distributed in tropical Asia to tropical Australia, tropical Africa, and South and Central America. We identified 4 out of 22 taxa as high priority (HP) for further conservation action and 18 taxa as medium priority (MP).
Hotspots requiring further collecting for ex situ conservation are concentrated in Southeast and South Asia, Northern Australia, West Africa, and tropical Americas. Meanwhile, habitat protection should be enhanced in Southeast and South Asia, Northern Australia, and West Africa. Under future climate change, suitable habitats near the equator are expected to shift toward higher latitudes and some in lower‐latitude basins may become unsuitable due to excessive heat, resulting in decreased taxa richness in these areas. Additionally, suitable habitats in high mountain areas may shift to higher altitudes, potentially augmenting taxa richness in the highlands. Our findings provide vital insights to guide future rescue conservation efforts for RWR.

AbstractSeveral indices of right heart remodeling and function have been associated with survival in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Outcome analysis and physiological relationships between variables may help develop a consistent grading system.Patients with Group 1 PAH followed at Stanford Hospital who underwent right heart catheterization and echocardiography within 2 weeks were considered for inclusion. Echocardiographic variables included tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), right ventricular (RV) fractional area change (RVFAC), free wall strain (RVFWS), RV dimensions, and right atrial volumes. The main outcome consisted of death or lung transplantation at 5 years. Mathematical relationships between variables were determined using weighted linear regression and severity thresholds for were calibrated to a 20% 1‐year mortality risk.PAH patients (n = 223) had mean (SD) age of 48.1 (14.1) years, most were female (78%), with a mean pulmonary arterial pressure of 51.6 (13.8) mmHg and pulmonary vascular resistance index of 22.5(6.3) WU/m2. Measures of right heart size and function were strongly related to each other particularly RVFWS and RVFAC (R2 = 0.82, p < 0.001), whereas the relationship between TAPSE and RVFWS was weaker (R2 = 0.28, p < 0.001). Death or lung transplantation at 5 years occurred in 78 patients (35%). Guided by outcome analysis, we ascertained a uniform set of parameter thresholds for grading the severity of right heart adaptation in PAH. Using these quantitative thresholds, we, then, validated the recently reported REVEAL‐echo score (AUC 0.68, p < 0.001).This study proposes a consistent echocardiographic grading system for right heart adaptation in PAH guided by outcome analysis.

AbstractTwo complexes (C6H9N2)2[CuCl4] (1) and (C5H6N2Cl)2[CuCl4] (2) have been synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction which revealed that these phases are centrosymmetric and crystallize, respectively, in monoclinic and triclinic symmetries. The thermal properties of both complexes are investigated as well as the UV‐Vis spectroscopic, photoluminescence properties, electronic paramagnetic resonance and biological activities. The crystal packing of the two compounds is guided by N−H⋅⋅⋅Cl hydrogen bonds and offset π–π stacking interactions; these interactions contribute to the overall stabilization of the structures as they connect anions and cations together into a three‐dimensional network. In addition, the optimized molecular structure was calculated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method using the B3LYP function with the LanL2DZ basis set. Subsequently, the thermal behavior was studied by TGA/DTA analyses. Moreover, the optical properties were studied using optical absorption UV‐visible and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The analysis of the magnetic properties is studied by electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Simultaneously, compound (1) exhibits a potential inhibitory effect against the key enzymes associated with diabetes, obesity, and hyperlipidemia. It demonstrates IC50 values of 0.21 μM and 0.32 μM against α‐amylase and lipase, respectively. Consequently, it emerges as a promising candidate for the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
Removal of carcinogenic chromium(VI) from effluent of electroplating industry using adsorptive separation
Authors: Pakhale Vinod D. , Gogate Parag R. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe wastewater from an electroplating industry contains chromium VI which is highly carcinogenic at a typical level of 21.5 to 47 mg L−1 which should be reduced to acceptable value of 0.05 mg L−1 for the water to be suitable for drinking purpose. In this study, Tulsion A23 resin was applied as an adsorbent for successful removal of Cr(VI), also dealing with understanding the effect of various parameters on extent of removal of the contaminant. It was elucidated that contact time of 120 min is required for the equilibrium and the optimum pH value was 5 and the optimum resin loading was 4 g L−1 at which 97% Cr(VI) removal was observed. Different adsorption isotherm models were applied and it was elucidated that Langmuir model was the best fit with R2 as 0.99. In the case of kinetic study, pseudo‐second order model was best fitted with higher R2 value. The regeneration of the resin was performed using 3 M NaOH and it was shown that after the three cycles of regeneration, the resin showed 82% Cr(VI) removal. Overall, successful application of Tulsion A23 resin was demonstrated for the removal of Cr(VI) from real effluent for the first time.

Published: May 2024

AbstractA 7‐year‐old, female, spayed springer spaniel presented due to acute stranguria and absence of reported urination by the owner. Two weeks earlier, it had been diagnosed with primary immune‐mediated thrombocytopenia for which it was receiving prednisolone. Imaging revealed the presence of abdominal effusion and severe urinary bladder changes, compatible with cystitis and urinary bladder wall haemorrhage. A urinary bladder wall rupture at its cranioventral pole was confirmed with contrast study. Cytology of the abdominal fluid concluded septic uroabdomen. Surgical management was elected. A large urinary bladder tear was present along with multi‐focal areas of suspected necrosis. The splenic appearance was also considered abnormal. At that stage, euthanasia was elected. Histopathology revealed features suggestive of thrombosis/infarcts in the urinary bladder and spleen.

Published: May 2024

AbstractAn 18‐month‐old Standardbred colt, referred for hock joint arthroscopy, presented a severe left forelimb lameness immediately after recovery from general anaesthesia. The horse was found in the recovery box with a ‘dropped elbow’, and it was dragging the leg. Radiographic examination of the shoulder showed a displaced avulsion fracture of the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula. A human distal femoral locking plate was customised using measurements taken from a computed tomography scan of a 2‐year‐old horse specimen. An internal fixation of the fracture was performed using the designed distal femoral locking plate. Rehabilitation techniques were passive manipulations and neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Six months post‐operatively, the horse was sound and had made a complete functional recovery. The distal femoral locking plate fitted well to the supraglenoid tubercle and scapula in the operated horse, leading to a stable fixation. The recovery time was shortened using internal fixation, which facilitated a faster return to mobility.
Entanglement entropies of an interval for the massless scalar field in the presence of a boundary

Published: May 2024

Abstract
We study the entanglement entropies of an interval for the massless compact boson either on the half line or on a finite segment, when either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are imposed. In these boundary conformal field theory models, the method of the branch point twist fields is employed to obtain analytic expressions for the two-point functions of twist operators. In the decompactification regime, these analytic predictions in the continuum are compared with the lattice numerical results in massless harmonic chains for the corresponding entanglement entropies, finding good agreement. The application of these analytic results in the context of quantum quenches is also discussed.
„Wider den nächtlichen Unfug“ – Die Bielefelder Straßenbeleuchtung von 1853 bis in die 1880er Jahre als versicherheitlichende Infrastruktur und Mittel der Selbstdisziplinierung
Authors: Franke Paul 
Published: May 2024

ZusammenfassungDieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit dem Wandel von Sicherheitsbedürfnissen und technologischen Möglichkeiten im Zuge der Industrialisierung anhand der Etablierung der Bielefelder Straßenbeleuchtung im 19. Jahrhundert. Er zeigt, wie die Entwicklung von der Öl- hin zur Gaslaterne zusammenfiel mit einem veränderten Sicherheitsbedürfnis im städtischen Bürgertum. Mit den technischen Möglichkeiten der Gasbeleuchtung konnte nunmehr der nächtliche städtische Raum durchdrungen werden und dadurch einerseits marginalisierte und als Sicherheitsrisiko wahrgenommene Personengruppen sichtbar gemacht sowie auf der anderen Seite dem Licht inhärente disziplinierende Bestrebungen bei den Bürger*innen internalisiert werden. Waren die städtischen Bevölkerungen der Vormoderne und des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts Laternen noch skeptisch oder ablehnend gegenübergestanden, so war bereits Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts ihre Installation Teil von dezidiert stadtbürgerlichen Forderungen nach mehr persönlicher, ökonomischer und Verkehrssicherheit. So wandelte sich die Laterne von einem Instrument des vormodernen Sichtbarmachens zu einem Instrument beständiger Sichtbarkeit in der Moderne. Dies führte zu neuen Konfliktlinien, da die Expansion der Beleuchtung nicht so umfassend verlief wie vom Stadtbürgertum gefordert. Hier zeigt das Beispiel Bielefeld neben Wandel und Konjunkturen von Versicherheitlichungsbedürfnissen im Zuge der Industrialisierung auch, dass eine Internalisierung obrigkeitsstaatlicher Vorstellungen keinesfalls die Abwesenheit von Konflikt bedeutete. Anhand von Verwaltungsakten und Eingaben wird aus der Perspektive der Historischen Sicherheitsforschung unter Rückgriff auf Foucaults Konzept der Gouvernementalität die Geschichte der Bielefelder Straßenbeleuchtung in den Kontext eines größeren Wandels von Sicherheit, Technik und urbaner Raumgestaltung gesetzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Technik- und Infrastrukturgeschichte wesentlich dabei helfen, die Erkenntnisse der Historischen Sicherheitsforschung zu vertiefen und zu kontextualisieren. Techniknutzung und -erwartungen waren durch eine bisweilen prekäre Allianz verschiedener Akteursgruppen ein wesentlicher Bestandteil eines neuen Sicherheitsverständnisses als auch der sozialsegmentierten Ordnung des urbanen Raums.

Published: May 2024

AbstractWe show how to deform a Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis manifold by means of a closed 2-form. Then we interpret this procedure in the context of quasi-Lie bialgebroids, as a particular case of the so called twisting of a quasi-Lie bialgebroid. Finally, we frame our result in the setting of Courant algebroids and Dirac structures.
Households in Transition: Persistence and Change of Dwellings in the City of Old Dongola (Sudan, 14th–17th Century)
Authors: Wyżgoł Maciej 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe period between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries in Old Dongola, Sudan, marks a significant political and religious transition. The Makurian kingdom collapsed, and in the sixteenth century, the city became subordinate to the Funj Sultanate. Simultaneously, domestic architecture exhibited a high level of uniformity, with urban space dominated by two-room houses clustered in compounds with a shared courtyard. In these transformative conditions, the seeming persistence of household requires explanation. This paper examines residues of human actions, applying a multielemental analysis of domestic floors of four house compounds dated from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century. It allowed us to understand domestic space in intensive terms, as created by everyday domestic activities. The analysis of macro- and micro-residues resulted in the identification of various ways particular households engaged with domestic space. In this study, the role of heterogeneous domestic space played in the persistence and changeability of households was discussed, particularly how the striated residential units coded relations of dwellers, while the smooth open spaces had creative potential. Lastly, it is proposed that the temporality of households did not align with the temporality of the political changes in the city.
Forecasting Inequalities in Survival to Retirement Age by Socioeconomic Status in Denmark and Sweden

Published: May 2024

Abstract
In Denmark and Sweden, statutory retirement age is indexed to life expectancy to account for mortality improvements in their populations. However, mortality improvements have not been uniform across different sub-populations. Notably, in both countries, individuals of lower socioeconomic status (SES) have experienced slower mortality improvements. As a result, a uniform rise in the statutory retirement age could disproportionally affect these low-SES groups and may unintentionally lead to a reverse redistribution effect, shifting benefits from short-lived low-SES individuals to long-lived high-SES individuals. The aim of this study is twofold: to quantify and contextualise mortality inequalities by SES in Denmark and Sweden, and to assess how indexing retirement age will affect future survival to retirement age by SES in these countries. We used Danish and Swedish registry data (1988–2019), to aggregate individuals aged 50 + based on their demographic characteristics and SES. We computed period life tables by year, sex, and SES to estimate the difference in survival across different SES groups. We then forecast mortality across SES groups to assess how indexing retirement age will affect survival inequalities to retirement age, using two forecasting models—the Mode model and the Li-Lee model. Mortality inequalities are comparable in Denmark and Sweden, even though the latter generally has higher survival. We also find that indexing retirement age to life expectancy will have two main consequences: it will reduce the probability of reaching retirement for all SES groups, particularly those of low SES, and time spent in retirement will be reduced, particularly for those of high SES.
Ambivalent Stereotypes

Published: May 2024

AbstractPeople often discriminate based on negative or positive stereotypes about others. Important examples of this are highlighted by the theory of ambivalent sexism. This theory distinguishes sexist stereotypes that are negative (hostile sexism) from those that are positive (benevolent sexism). While both forms of sexism are considered wrong toward women, hostile sexism seems intuitively worse than benevolent sexism. In this article, we ask whether the difference between discriminating based on positive vs. negative stereotypes in itself makes a morally relevant difference. We suggest that it does not. By examining a number of prominent accounts of what makes discrimination wrong, we defend the Moral Irrelevance View according to which stereotype valence is irrelevant to the moral evaluation of discrimination, all else equal.
Type I Tobit Bayesian Additive Regression Trees for censored outcome regression
Authors: O’Neill Eoghan 
Published: May 2024

AbstractCensoring occurs when an outcome is unobserved beyond some threshold value. Methods that do not account for censoring produce biased predictions of the unobserved outcome. This paper introduces Type I Tobit Bayesian Additive Regression Tree (TOBART-1) models for censored outcomes. Simulation results and real data applications demonstrate that TOBART-1 produces accurate predictions of censored outcomes. TOBART-1 provides posterior intervals for the conditional expectation and other quantities of interest. The error term distribution can have a large impact on the expectation of the censored outcome. Therefore, the error is flexibly modeled as a Dirichlet process mixture of normal distributions. An R package is available at https://github.com/EoghanONeill/TobitBART.

Abstract
Introduction
IgA vasculitis diagnosis relies primarily on clinical features and is confirmed by pathological findings. To date, there is no reliable noninvasive diagnostic biomarker.

Objective
We aimed to explore the baseline serum metabolome of adult patients with IgA vasculitis to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers.

Methods
We performed a study comparing the serum metabolome of patients with IgA vasculitis to that of patients with inflammatory condition, namely spondyloarthritis. Serum analyses were performed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Results
Fifty-five patients with IgA vasculitis and 77 controls with spondyloarthritis (age- and sex-matched) were included in this study. The median age of IgA vasculitis patients was 53 years. Two-thirds of patients were female (n = 32). At the time of vasculitis diagnosis, 100% of patients had skin involvement and 69% presented with glomerulonephritis (n = 38). Joint and digestive involvement were observed in 56% (n = 31) and 42% (n = 23) of patients. Four discriminative metabolites between the two groups were identified: 1-methyladenosine, L-glutamic acid, serotonin, and thymidine. The multivariate model built from the serum metabolomes of patients with IgA vasculitis and spondyloarthritis revealed an accuracy > 90%. As this model was significant according to the permutation test (p < 0.01), independent validation showed an excellent predictive value of the test set: sensitivity 98%; specificity 98%, positive predictive value 97% and negative predictive value 98%.

Conclusion
To our knowledge, this study is the first to use the metabolomic approach for diagnostic purposes in adult IgA vasculitis, highlighting a specific diagnostic metabolome signature.

AbstractThe concept of social innovation has garnered increasing attention across various disciplines, driven by a growing recognition of the need to address complex societal challenges. However, despite the thorough examination of traditional innovation forms and their influence on global business practices, the scrutiny of social innovation within the realm of international business (IB) remains relatively nascent. This introduction delineates the scope of this focused issue and emphasizes the critical need to expand research on social innovation within IB, a field dedicated to enhancing social value and engagement among diverse stakeholders. This focused issue explores the catalysts and impacts of multinational corporations' (MNCs’) social innovation endeavours in emerging markets. Departing from the profit-centric focus of conventional innovation studies, social innovation emphasizes the redistribution of knowledge, the encouragement of discovery, and the facilitation of co-creation, thus posing a challenge to the traditional paradigms and logics of innovation theory. This introduction provides a concise review of current social innovation literature in IB, highlights the contributions made by the articles in this focused issue, and concludes by outlining directions for future research in the domain of social innovation in IB.
Driving Social Innovation in Bottom-of-the-Pyramid Markets through International Social Alliances: The Role of Legitimacy
Authors: Pillai Kishore Gopalakrishna , Nair Smitha R. , Zahoor Nadia , Khan Zaheer 
Published: May 2024

AbstractInternational social alliances—in which multinational enterprises (MNEs) and social enterprises (SEs) collaborate—are a vital source for the development and scaling up social innovations for value creation. Yet, these alliances face significant legitimacy challenges, which are more glaring in bottom-of-the-pyramid markets (BOPMs) within emerging and developing economies owing to weak and underdeveloped formal institutions. Drawing on the legitimacy, institutional, and social alliances literature, we develop a conceptual framework that explains the importance of developing social, institutional, and commercial legitimacy in international social alliances operating in BOPMs. We also explored the challenges faced by international social alliances in BOPMs and the factors that enable MNEs and SEs to build different types of legitimacy. We contribute to international business research by providing an understanding of various legitimacy building strategies enacted by international social alliances based in BOPMs for social value creation.
