AbstractThe field of mycology has grown from an underappreciated subset of botany, to a valuable, modern scientific discipline. As this field of study has grown, there have been significant contributions to science, technology, and industry, highlighting the value of fungi in the modern era. This paper looks at the current research, along with the existing limitations, and suggests future areas where scientists can focus their efforts, in the field mycology. We show how fungi have become important emerging diseases in medical mycology. We discuss current trends and the potential of fungi in drug and novel compound discovery. We explore the current trends in phylogenomics, its potential, and outcomes and address the question of how phylogenomics can be applied in fungal ecology. In addition, the trends in functional genomics studies of fungi are discussed with their importance in unravelling the intricate mechanisms underlying fungal behaviour, interactions, and adaptations, paving the way for a comprehensive understanding of fungal biology. We look at the current research in building materials, how they can be used as carbon sinks, and how fungi can be used in biocircular economies. The numbers of fungi have always been of great interest and have often been written about and estimates have varied greatly. Thus, we discuss current trends and future research needs in order to obtain more reliable estimates. We address the aspects of machine learning (AI) and how it can be used in mycological research. Plant pathogens are affecting food production systems on a global scale, and as such, we look at the current trends and future research needed in this area, particularly in disease detection. We look at the latest data from High Throughput Sequencing studies and question if we are still gaining new knowledge at the same rate as before. A review of current trends in nanotechnology is provided and its future potential is addressed. The importance of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi is addressed and future trends are acknowledged. Fungal databases are becoming more and more important, and we therefore provide a review of the current major databases. Edible and medicinal fungi have a huge potential as food and medicines, especially in Asia and their prospects are discussed. Lifestyle changes in fungi (e.g., from endophytes, to pathogens, and/or saprobes) are also extremely important and a current research trend and are therefore addressed in this special issue of Fungal Diversity.
Using a Respondent-Type Matching-to-Sample Exclusion Training Procedure to Establish Equivalence Responding
Authors: Todd Jonathan , Keenan Mickey , Gallagher Stephen 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAn exclusion training procedure involves presenting a sample stimulus with an unrelated comparison stimulus that is presented alongside other comparison stimuli that previously have acquired a negative relation to the sample stimulus. Due to the already established negative comparisons, the participant selects the unrelated stimulus, establishing a relation between the two stimuli. Of the large body of research on exclusion, there has been no research conducted that has combined respondent conditioning with an exclusion training procedure. This study used a respondent-type matching-to-sample (ReTMTS) exclusion training procedure with probe trials to train 3, three-member equivalence classes. A–B relations were trained using the ReTMTS procedure, and A–C relations were trained via exclusion using the ReTMTS procedure. Of the 10 participants who reached the test phase, only 2 failed to reach the criterion required to demonstrate equivalence responding. These findings are discussed in the context of previous research on exclusion training.
The Prohibition of Child Labour in Factories Revisited: Towards a Social History of Decommodification in the Early Nineteenth Century
Authors: Ruoss Matthias 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis article examines the removal of children from factories and their integration into the school system in the early nineteenth century, using decommodification as a conceptual framework. The Swiss canton of Aargau serves as a case study – a region where the textile industry flourished and a liberal government came to power after the July Revolution, subsequently enforcing compulsory education. Through a nuanced exploration of diverse sources, the article argues that decommodification was a deeply contentious process marked by conflicts between working-class families, factory owners, the state, and the church. Simultaneously, these conflicts unleashed dynamic forces that coded working-class childhood in terms of age and gender. It is this transformational power that underscores the interpretative potential of decommodification as a constructive process of Vergesellschaftung (sociation). Beyond simply freeing children from labour obligations, the prohibition of factory work reintegrated them intricately into the social fabric of the economy.

AbstractWeak serpentine minerals affect the mechanical behavior of serpentinized peridotites at depth, and may play a significant role in deformation localization within subduction zones, at local or regional scale. Mixtures of olivine with 5, 10, 20 and 50 vol. % fraction of antigorite, proxies for serpentinized peridotites, were deformed in axial shortening geometry under high pressures (ca. 2–5 GPa) and moderate temperatures (ca. 350°C), with in situ stress and strain measurements using synchrotron X‐rays. We evaluate the average partitioning of stresses at the grains scale within each phase (mineral) of the aggregate and compare with pure olivine aggregates in the same conditions. The in situ stress balance is different between low antigorite contents up to 10 vol. %, and higher contents above 20 vol. %. Microstructure and stress levels suggest the deformation mechanisms under these experimental conditions are akin to (semi)brittle and frictional processes. Unlike when close to dehydration temperatures, hardening of the aggregate is observed at low serpentine fractions, due to an increase in local stress concentrations. Below and above the 10–20 vol. % threshold, the stress state in the aggregate corresponds to friction laws already measured for pure olivine aggregates and pure antigorite aggregates respectively. As expected, the behavior of the two‐phase aggregate does not evolve as calculated from simple iso‐stress or iso‐strain bounds, and calls for more advanced physical models of two‐phase mixtures.

AbstractThis study evaluated artefacts on computed tomography (CT) images using Hounsfield units (HU) in patients with spinal oligometastatic disease who received carbon-fiber (CF; n = 11) or titanium (n = 11) spine implants and underwent stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). Pre- and postoperative HU were measured at the vertebral body, pedicle, and spinal cord at three different levels: the lower instrumented vertebra, the level of metastatic spinal cord compression, and an uninvolved level. Areas measured at each level were delicately matched pre- and postoperatively. Significant differences in HU were observed at the vertebral body, the pedicle, and the spinal cord at the lowest instrumented vertebra level for both CF and titanium (average increase 1.54-fold and 5.11-fold respectively). At the metastatic spinal cord compression level, a trend towards a higher HU-increase was observed in titanium compared with CF treated patients (average increase 2.51-fold and 1.43-fold respectively). The relatively high postoperative HU-increase after insertion of titanium implants indicated CT artefacts, while the relatively low HU-increase of CF implants was not associated with artefacts. Less CT artefacts could facilitate an easier contouring phase in radiotherapy planning. In addition, we propose a CT artefact grading system based on postoperative HU-increase. This system could serve as a valuable tool in future research to assess if less CT artefacts lead to time savings during radiotherapy treatment planning and, potentially, to better tumoricidal effects and less adverse effects if particle therapy would be administered.

AbstractEmergency departments (ED) are complex, triage is a main task in the ED to prioritize patient with limited medical resources who need them most. Machine learning (ML) based ED triage tool, Score for Emergency Risk Prediction (SERP), was previously developed using an interpretable ML framework with single center. We aimed to develop SERP with 3 Korean multicenter cohorts based on common data model (CDM) without data sharing and compare performance with inter-hospital validation design. This retrospective cohort study included all adult emergency visit patients of 3 hospitals in Korea from 2016 to 2017. We adopted CDM for the standardized multicenter research. The outcome of interest was 2-day mortality after the patients’ ED visit. We developed each hospital SERP using interpretable ML framework and validated inter-hospital wisely. We accessed the performance of each hospital’s score based on some metrics considering data imbalance strategy. The study population for each hospital included 87,670, 83,363 and 54,423 ED visits from 2016 to 2017. The 2-day mortality rate were 0.51%, 0.56% and 0.65%. Validation results showed accurate for inter hospital validation which has at least AUROC of 0.899 (0.858–0.940). We developed multicenter based Interpretable ML model using CDM for 2-day mortality prediction and executed Inter-hospital external validation which showed enough high accuracy.
Oxytoxaceae are prorocentralean rather than peridinialean dinophytes and taxonomic clarification of heterotrophic Oxytoxum lohmannii (≡ “Amphidinium” crassum) by epitypification

AbstractDuring evolution of Dinophyceae, size reduction of the episome has occurred in several lineages (including unarmoured Amphidiniales and armoured Prorocentrales). One such species is Amphidinium crassum, whose taxonomic identity is elusive though showing morphological similarities with Oxytoxaceae (currently placed in armoured Peridiniales). Plankton samples were taken at the type locality of A. crassum in Kiel Bight (Baltic Sea) in order to establish monoclonal strains. The protist material was examined in detail using light and electron microscopy, and a long (2984 bp) ribosomal RNA sequence gained was part of a taxon sample comprising 206 specimen vouchers and representing the known molecular diversity of Dinophyceae. Cells of A. crassum were ovoid and exhibited a plate pattern po, 4′, 1a, 6′′, 5c, 4s, 5′′′, 1′′′′. In the molecular phylogeny, the species seemed to belong neither to Amphidiniales nor to Peridiniales but to Prorocentrales and clustered with other representatives of Oxytoxaceae. The morphological diversity of Prorocentrales appears thus expanded, and the group may include a number of previously unrecognised representatives unusually having five postcingular and only a single antapical plate. The taxonomic identity of A. crassum is clarified by epitypification, and the species notably exhibits both an apical pore and an additional epithecal pore.

AbstractSoybean, belonging to legumes, has a specific ability to biological nitrogen fixation, which can be reinforced by seeds inoculation. However, support with a starter dose of mineral nitrogen fertilizer may be necessary to achieve high seed yields. A four-year field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of mineral N fertilization (0, 30, 60 kg ha−1), seed inoculation with two commercial inoculants and combinations of these treatments on yield components and yielding of soybean in conditions of south-western part of Poland. The synergistic effect of mineral fertilization at dose 30 kg ha−1 and inoculation on soybean productivity was the most beneficial. Similar effects were observed when 60 kg N ha−1 was applied both separately and with inoculation. However, due to the environmental impact of mineral fertilizers and to promote plants to biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), it is advisable to use lower doses of N fertilizer (at 30 kg ha−1) and inoculate soybean seeds in agro- climatic conditions of south-western Poland. Therefore, based on this study we recommend to apply starter dose of N and inoculation.

AbstractThe ocean is dynamically changing due to the influence of climate processes and human activities. The construction of the Suez Canal in the late nineteenth century opened the Pandora’s box by facilitating the dispersal of Red Sea species in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, we developed an open-source spatio-temporal numerical analysis framework to decodify the complex spread of Mediterranean non-indigenous fish species (NIS) that entered through the Suez Canal. We utilized 772 historical detection records of 130 NIS to disentangle their dynamic spread through space and time. The results indicated that species follow a north-westward trajectory with an average expansion time step of 2.5 years. Additionally, we estimated the overall time for a NIS to reach the Central Mediterranean Sea from the Suez Canal at approximately 22 years. Based on the analysis, more than half of the introduced fishes have been established in less than 10 years. Finally, we proceeded in the cross-validation of our results using actual spread patterns of invasive fishes of the Mediterranean Sea, resulting up to 90% of temporal and spatial agreement. The methodology and the findings presented herein may contribute to management initiatives in highly invaded regions around the globe.

AbstractNeurovascular coupling is a vital mechanism employed by the cerebrovascular system, including the eye, to regulate blood flow in periods of neuronal activation. This study aims to investigate if laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) can detect coupling response elicited by flickering light stimuli and how variations in stimulus type and duration can affect the magnitude and evolution of blood flow in the optic nerve head (ONH) and peripapillary vessels. Healthy adults were exposed to two types of 10-Hz flicker stimuli: a photopic negative response-like stimulus (PhNR-S) or a visual evoked potential-like stimulus (VEP-S)—each presented in separate 10- and 60-s epochs. Both PhNR-S and VEP-S significantly increased ONH blood flow (p < 0.001) immediately after flicker cessation, with a trend of 60-s stimuli (PhNR-S = 11.6%; VEP-S = 10.4%) producing a larger response than 10-s stimuli (PhNR-S = 7.5%; VEP-S = 6.2%). Moreover, exposure to 60-s stimuli elicited a significantly prolonged ONH hyperemic response, especially with PhNR-S. Lastly, stimulation with either 60-s stimuli elicited a robust increase in blood flow within the peripapillary arterioles (p < 0.01) and venules (p < 0.01) as well. Flicker stimulation with common visual electrophysiology stimuli (PhNR-S and VEP-S) induced a demonstrable increase in ONH and peripapillary vessel blood flow, which varied with flicker duration. Our results validate that LSFG is a robust method to quantify flicker-induced hyperemic responses and to study neurovascular coupling in humans.

AbstractCement is the most widely used construction material due to its strength and affordability, but its production is energy intensive. Thus, the need to replace cement with widely available waste material such as incinerated black filter cake (IBFC) in order to reduce energy consumption and the associated CO2 emissions. However, because IBFC is a newly discovered cement replacement material, several parameters affecting the mechanical properties of IBFC-cement composite have not been thoroughly investigated yet. Thus, this work aims to investigate the impact of IBFC as a cement replacement and the addition of the calcifying bacterium Lysinibacillus sp. WH on the mechanical and self-healing properties of IBFC cement pastes. The properties of the IBFC-cement pastes were assessed by determining compressive strength, permeable void, water absorption, cement hydration product, and self-healing property. Increases in IBFC replacement reduced the durability of the cement pastes. The addition of the strain WH to IBFC cement pastes, resulting in biocement, increased the strength of the IBFC-cement composite. A 20% IBFC cement-replacement was determined to be the ideal ratio for producing biocement in this study, with a lower void percentage and water absorption value. Adding strain WH decreases pore sizes, densifies the matrix in ≤ 20% IBFC biocement, and enhances the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) and AFm ettringite phases. Biogenic CaCO3 and C–S–H significantly increase IBFC composite strength, especially at ≤ 20% IBFC replacement. Moreover, IBFC-cement composites with strain WH exhibit self-healing properties, with bacteria precipitating CaCO3 crystals to bridge cracks within two weeks. Overall, this work provides an approach to produce a "green/sustainable" cement using biologically enabled self-healing characteristics.

AbstractElectronic health record (EHR) data is crucial in providing comprehensive historical disease information for patients and is frequently utilized in health event prediction. However, current deep learning models that rely on EHR data encounter significant challenges. These include inadequate exploration of higher‐order relationships among diseases, a failure to capture dynamic relationships in existing relationship‐based disease prediction models, and insufficient utilization of patient symptom information. To address these limitations, a novel dynamic HyperGraph‐based deep learning model is introduced for disease prediction (DHGL) in this study. Initially, pertinent symptom information is extracted from patients to assign them with an initial embedding. Subsequently, sub‐hypergraphs are constructed to consider distinct patient cohorts rather than treating them as isolated entities. Ultimately, these hypergraphs are dynamized to gain a more nuanced understanding of patient relationships. The evaluation of DHGL on real‐world EHR datasets reveals its superiority over several state‐of‐the‐art baseline methods in terms of predictive accuracy.
