Authors: Chen Man , Long Yun’an 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The rural revitalization strategy has spotlighted the agricultural industry as a pivotal avenue for national development. E-commerce, as a novel business paradigm, presents both opportunities and challenges to this sector’s evolution. This study endeavors to navigate the trajectory of e-commerce within rural revitalization by amalgamating literature review and case analyses. It seeks to uncover the sales channels offered by e-commerce platforms for agricultural products, subsequently elevating the value proposition of these products and propelling rural economic growth. Findings underscore the pivotal role of e-commerce in rural revitalization. Leveraging e-commerce platforms to bolster the agricultural industry presents innovative avenues and strategies. Nonetheless, challenges loom over these platforms, encompassing issues related to agricultural product quality, logistics, and distribution. Thus, a strategic imperative emerges to fortify logistics infrastructure, enhance agricultural product quality, institute robust personnel training initiatives, and catalyze e-commerce advancements to foster the revitalization and expansion of the agricultural sector.
Addressing Wicked Problems (SDGs) Through Community Colleges: Leveraging Entrepreneurial Leadership for Economic Development Post-COVID
Authors: Steidle Samantha Bryant , Glass Christopher , Rice Macie , Henderson Dale A 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This qualitative case study aims to explore community colleges’ role in addressing wicked problems of economic development post-COVID through entrepreneurial leadership. The key research question is, “How do entrepreneurial leaders describe the role of community colleges in addressing wicked problems of economic development post-COVID.” The study interviewed 28 entrepreneurial leaders regarding the role(s) of community colleges in addressing wicked problems of economic development. The study addresses a critical gap in the literature. Researchers have yet to explore the role of associate degree-granting institutions, namely community colleges. Notably, the over 1200 U.S. community colleges serve nearly 12 million or half of America’s students (American Association of Community Colleges, 2011). From a theoretical perspective, the study leverages complexity science, complex adaptive systems, and systemic innovation to address wicked problems of economic development. Future researchers can build on these theoretical insights for future studies across many disciplines.
The results provide ten key roles community colleges can potentially take on as economic development partners, making them ideal institutions to serve as incubators of post-COVID recovery. They include revitalizing communities post-COVID, performing post-COVID business triage, modeling sustainability, creating jobs, championing entrepreneurship-led economic development, increasing tax revenue, pipelining talent, supporting talent retention, supporting main street businesses, and reducing entrepreneurial risks. Researchers recommend that policymakers and other funders allocate funding to help community colleges address wicked problems through systemic innovation labs (I-Labs). Interestingly, the roles identified appear to be moderated by proximity and trust.
Synthesis, characterization of KAlPO4F and its application for methyl violet adsorption
Authors: Bagtache R. , Trari M. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractKAlPO4F was prepared hydrothermally at 453 K, a time-saving method using cheap reagents. The white solid was characterized by different methods such as powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, SEM and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance. The compound was successfully tested for the removal of methyl violet (MV), a hazardous dye. Experiments were carried out as a function of contact time, initial concentration, temperature and pH. The amount of dye uptake was found to vary with increasing initial solution pH and maximum adsorption was observed at pH 10; the equilibrium was attained in 270 min. The amount of dye uptake (mg/g) was found to increase with increase in dye concentration and contact time. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models were applied to fit the experimental data to elucidate the kinetic adsorption. The pseudo-second-order model was the best to describe the adsorption process. Different models analyzed the equilibrium isotherms; the applicability for the experimental data follows the order: Freundlich > Langmuir > Temkin. The thermodynamic parameters: ΔH° (39.034 kJ mol−1), ΔS° (134 J K−1 mol−1) and ΔG° (− 367.01 J mol−1) indicated that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous with increasing disorder at the solid–solution interface.
The Price of History-Independent Strategies in Games with Inter-Temporal Externalities
Authors: Tsodikovich Yevgeny , Venel Xavier , Zseleva Anna 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we compare the value of zero-sum stochastic games under optimal strategies (that are, for single-controller stochastic games, stationary) to the commonly used time-independent strategies (“static strategies”). Our findings are summarized in a series of theorems which provide the lower bound on the optimality of the static strategy under different assumptions. These bounds can be used to assess whether the additional computational complexity is worth the extra payoff gain or, symmetrically, assess the price of playing sub-optimal but simple strategies when stationary ones are forbidden.
The Relationship Between Running Biomechanics and Running Economy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
Authors: Van Hooren Bas , Jukic Ivan , Cox Maartje , Frenken Koen G. , Bautista Iker , Moore Isabel S. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
Running biomechanics is considered an important determinant of running economy (RE). However, studies examining associations between running biomechanics and RE report inconsistent findings.

Objective
The aim of this systematic review was to determine associations between running biomechanics and RE and explore potential causes of inconsistency.

Methods
Three databases were searched and monitored up to April 2023. Observational studies were included if they (i) examined associations between running biomechanics and RE, or (ii) compared running biomechanics between groups differing in RE, or (iii) compared RE between groups differing in running biomechanics during level, constant-speed, and submaximal running in healthy humans (18–65 years). Risk of bias was assessed using a modified tool for observational studies and considered in the results interpretation using GRADE. Meta-analyses were performed when two or more studies reported on the same outcome. Meta-regressions were used to explore heterogeneity with speed, coefficient of variation of height, mass, and age as continuous outcomes, and standardization of running shoes, oxygen versus energetic cost, and correction for resting oxygen or energy cost as categorical outcomes.

Results
Fifty-one studies (n = 1115 participants) were included. Most spatiotemporal outcomes showed trivial and non-significant associations with RE: contact time r = − 0.02 (95% confidence interval [CI] − 0.15 to 0.12); flight time r = 0.11 (− 0.09 to 0.32); stride time r = 0.01 (− 0.8 to 0.50); duty factor r = − 0.06 (− 0.18 to 0.06); stride length r = 0.12 (− 0.15 to 0.38), and swing time r = 0.12 (− 0.13 to 0.36). A higher cadence showed a small significant association with a lower oxygen/energy cost (r = − 0.20 [− 0.35 to − 0.05]). A smaller vertical displacement and higher vertical and leg stiffness showed significant moderate associations with lower oxygen/energy cost (r = 0.35, − 0.31, − 0.28, respectively). Ankle, knee, and hip angles at initial contact, midstance or toe-off as well as their range of motion, peak vertical ground reaction force, mechanical work variables, and electromyographic activation were not significantly associated with RE, although potentially relevant trends were observed for some outcomes.

Conclusions
Running biomechanics can explain 4–12% of the between-individual variation in RE when considered in isolation, with this magnitude potentially increasing when combining different variables. Implications for athletes, coaches, wearable technology, and researchers are discussed in the review.

Social Comparison and Mental Health
Authors: Arigo Danielle , Bercovitz Iris , Lapitan Emmanuel , Gular Sofia 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Opportunities for social comparison, or self-evaluation relative to others, are increasingly common via technologies such as mobile apps and social media. Comparison is often assumed to be detrimental for mental health, as many studies show negative associations. Yet, the majority of existing studies use weak methods that do little to inform clinical efforts. The goals of this review are to describe advances in methods for studying the impact of social comparisons on mental health and to identify critical next steps to advance treatment.

Recent Findings
Methods such as intensive ambulatory assessment (e.g., ecological momentary assessment), creative approaches to experimental manipulation, and just-in-time adaptive interventions are increasingly popular and reveal the complexity of social comparison’s short- and longer-term effects. Findings highlight the need for personalized and context-sensitive approaches to promoting mental health.

Summary
Historical assumptions about the role of social comparison in mental health outcomes are based on a preponderance of cross-sectional research that offers little to our understanding of mechanistic pathways or effective treatments. As the consequences of comparisons can be negative or positive, in the short and long terms, and can vary within person, there is a pressing need for treatment approaches that address this complexity in context.
Flexible job-shop scheduling problem with parallel batch machines based on an enhanced multi-population genetic algorithm
Authors: Xue Lirui , Zhao Shinan , Mahmoudi Amin , Feylizadeh Mohammad Reza 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with parallel batch processing machine (PBM) is one of those long-standing issues that needs cutting-edge approaches. It is a recent extension of standard flexible job shop scheduling problems. Despite their wide application and prevalence in practical production, it seems that current research on these types of combinatorial optimization problems remains limited and uninvestigated. More specifically, existing research mainly concentrates on the flow shop scenarios in parallel batch machines for job shop scheduling but few literature emphasis on the flexible job shop integration in these contexts. To directly address the above mentioned problems, this paper establishes an optimization model considering parallel batch processing machines, aiming to minimize the maximum completion time in operating and production environments. The proposed solution merges variable neighborhood search with multi-population genetic algorithms, conducting a neighborhood search on the elite population to reduce the likelihood of falling into local optima. Subsequently, its applicability was evaluated in computational experiments using real production scenarios from a partnering enterprise and extended datasets. The findings from the analyses indicate that the enhanced algorithm can decrease the objective value by as much as 15% compared to other standard algorithms. Importantly, the proposed approach effectively resolves flexible job shop scheduling problems involving parallel batch processing machines. The contribution of the research is providing substantial theoretical support for enterprise production scheduling.
‘We don’t have blasphemy laws in England.’ What does this mean for RE?
Authors: Marshall Heather 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe protection and regulation of religious expression present complex challenges. Blasphemy laws, which criminalize acts deemed disrespectful to religious beliefs, have been abolished in England, allowing for broader freedom of expression. However, concerns and discussions about blasphemy persist. The Home Secretary, Suella Braverman (2023), has emphasized that there are no blasphemy laws in Great Britain and no obligation to show reverence towards any religion. Religious Education (RE) plays a crucial role in fostering understanding and tolerance of diverse religious traditions. It provides students with opportunities to develop critical thinking skills and engage in meaningful dialogue. However, certain aspects of critical thinking within RE may be perceived as provocative or blasphemous. This paper explores the ongoing debate on blasphemy laws in England, considering the evolving religious landscape and its implications for the teaching of RE. It aims to shed light on the complex dimensions of this discourse.
An existence result for a suspension of rigid magnetizable particles
Authors: Nika Grigor , Vernescu Bogdan 
Published: March 2024

AbstractWe establish the existence of a weak solution for a strongly coupled, nonlinear Stokes–Maxwell system, originally proposed by Nika and Vernescu (Z Angew Math Phys 71(1):1–19, 2020) in the three-dimensional setting. The model effectively couples the Stokes equation with the quasi-static Maxwell’s equations through the Lorentz force and the Maxwell stress tensor. The proof of existence is premised on: (i) the augmented variational formulation of Maxwell’s equations, (ii) the definition of a new function space for the magnetic induction and the verification of a Poincar’e-type inequality, and (iii) the deployment of the Altman–Shinbrot fixed point theorem when the magnetic Reynolds number, $${\text {R}_{\text {m}}},$$

Pornography as Illocutionary Harm: Why Censorship is Not the Answer
Authors: Ronzoni Miriam 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAccording to speech-act theory, we do things with words every time we speak. The most striking thing one can do with words is to exercise authority over others, such as when a judge issues a guilty verdict in a criminal trial. Some speakers hold this kind of authority without good reason; this kind of speech constitutes an unjust imposition of authority, and thus arguably harms in a direct, non-metaphorical sense; it would seem, therefore, that it should not be protected by freedom of speech. The problem in these cases, however, does not lie in the words that harmful speakers utter, but in the things they have the power to do with them. It is this power, it seems, that must be dismantled: in speech-act terms, we must tackle felicity conditions, not locutions. This paper defends this insight. By providing an account of the (alleged) authority of pornographers as both epistemic and informal, I claim that the presumption against censoring porn is not lifted even if the speech-act argument succeeds in showing that pornography can be constitutive of harm. This does not mean that such harms should not be countered, but they should be countered as the specific kinds of harms that they are.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundOver the past several decades, more research focuses have been made on the inflammation/immune hypothesis of schizophrenia. Building upon synaptic plasticity hypothesis, inflammation may contribute the underlying pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Yet, pinpointing the specific inflammatory agents responsible for schizophrenia remains a complex challenge, mainly due to medication and metabolic status. Multiple lines of evidence point to a wide-spread genetic association across genome underlying the phenotypic variations of schizophrenia.MethodWe collected the latest genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) summary data of schizophrenia, cytokines, and longitudinal change of brain. We utilized the omnigenic model which takes into account all genomic SNPs included in the GWAS of trait, instead of traditional Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. We conducted two round MR to investigate the inflammatory triggers of schizophrenia and the resulting longitudinal changes in the brain.ResultsWe identified seven inflammation markers linked to schizophrenia onset, which all passed the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (bNGF, GROA(CXCL1), IL-8, M-CSF, MCP-3 (CCL7), TNF-β, CRP). Moreover, CRP were found to significantly influence the linear rate of brain morphology changes, predominantly in the white matter of the cerebrum and cerebellum.ConclusionWith an omnigenic approach, our study sheds light on the immune pathology of schizophrenia. Although these findings need confirmation from future studies employing different methodologies, our work provides substantial evidence that pervasive, low-level neuroinflammation may play a pivotal role in schizophrenia, potentially leading to notable longitudinal changes in brain morphology.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackground:Patients with ventricular assist devices (VADs) represent a growing population presenting to Emergency Medical Services (EMS), but little is known about their prehospital care. This study aimed to characterize current EMS protocols in the United States for patients with VADs.Methods:States with state-wide EMS protocols were included. Protocols were obtained from the state EMS website. If not available, the office of the state medical director was contacted. For each state, protocols were analyzed for patient and VAD assessment and treatment variables.Results:Of 32 states with state-wide EMS protocols, 21 had VAD-specific protocols. With 17 (81%) states noting a pulse may not be palpable, protocols recommended assessing alternate measures of perfusion and mean arterial pressure (MAP; 15 [71%]). Assessment of VAD was advised through listening for pump hum (20 [95%]) and alarms (20 [95%]) and checking the power supply (15 [71%]). For treatment, EMS prehospital consultation was required to begin chest compression in three (14%) states, and mechanical (device) chest compressions were not permitted in two (10%) states. Contact information for VAD coordinator was listed in a minority of five (24%) states. Transport of VAD equipment/backup bag was advised in 18 (86%) states.Discussion:This national analysis of EMS protocols found VAD-specific EMS protocols are not universally adopted in the United States and are variable when implemented, highlighting a need for VAD teams to partner with EMS agencies to inform standardized protocols that optimize these patients’ care.
Global Future Climate Signal by Latitudes Using CMIP6 GCMs
Authors: Song Young Hoon , Chung Eun‐Sung , Shahid Shamsuddin 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis study estimated global climate change signals at different latitudes for four main Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). Five evaluation metrics were integrated using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution to quantify the historical reproducibility of 25 CMIP6 General Circulation Models (GCMs) with Global Precipitation Climatology Centre precipitation and Climatic Research Unit temperature as the reference. The most suitable GCMs for simulating climate over different latitudes, selected based on evaluation metrics, were used to prepare a multimodel ensemble and project the future annual and seasonal precipitation and temperature in the near (2031–2065) and far future (2066–2100). The results showed that GCMs estimated the historical mean temperature efficiently but underestimated the monthly precipitation compared to the reference data. The changes in precipitation and temperature at mid‐latitudes (N45.5°–60°) showed the highest variability for all scenarios. The maximum increases in both climate variables for SSP5‐8.5 were 80.5% and 4.8% at N45.5°–60°, respectively. In contrast, the temperature and precipitation at S30.5°–45° revealed a decreasing pattern. Mid‐latitude winter (S30.5°–45°) would be drier in the future than in the base period (1980–2014). This study showed that precipitation variability and the mean temperature in the northern hemisphere would be larger for SSPs with higher radiative forcing. Therefore, the results of this study help improve knowledge of global future climate change by latitudes.
The Impact of Rotation on Tropical Climate, the Hydrologic Cycle, and Climate Sensitivity
Authors: Silvers Levi G. , Stansfield Alyssa M. , Reed Kevin A. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis work explores the impact of rotation on tropical convection and climate. As our starting point, we use the RCEMIP experiments as control simulations and run additional simulations with rotation. Compared to radiative convective equilibrium (RCE) experiments, rotating RCE (RRCE) experiments have a more stable and humid atmosphere with higher precipitation rates. The intensity of the overturning circulation decreases, water vapor is cycled through the troposphere at a slower rate, the subsidence fraction decreases, and the climate sensitivity increases. Several of these changes can be attributed to an increased flux of latent and sensible heat that results from an increase of near‐surface wind speed with rotation shortly after model initialization. The increased climate sensitivity results from changes of both the longwave cloud radiative effect and the longwave clear‐sky radiative fluxes. This work demonstrates the sensitivity of atmospheric humidity and surface fluxes of moisture and temperature to rotation.
Spring Irrigation Reduces the Frequency and Intensity of Summer Extreme Heat Events in the North China Plain
Authors: Liu Guoshuai , Wang Weiguang , Xu Hui 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIrrigation has distinct impacts on extreme temperatures. Due to the carryover effect of soil moisture into other seasons, temperature impacts of irrigation are not limited to irrigated seasons. Focusing on the North China Plain, where irrigation occurs in both spring (March‐April‐May) and summer (June‐July‐August), with a higher proportion of irrigation water applied during spring, we investigate the impact of spring irrigation on summer extreme heat events. Based on partial correlation analysis of data products, we find positive correlations between spring and summer soil moisture, suggesting that spring irrigation‐induced water surplus persists into the following summer and affects regional climate by impacting surface energy partitioning. Regional climate simulations confirm cross‐seasonal climatic effects and show that spring irrigation reduces the frequency and intensity of summer extreme heat events by approximately −2.5 days and −0.29°C, respectively. Our results highlight the importance of the cross‐seasonal climatic effect of irrigation in mitigating climate extremes.
