Climate-driven 21st century Caspian Sea level decline estimated from CMIP6 projections
Authors: Samant Rohit , Prange Matthias 
Published: October 2023

AbstractFuture Caspian Sea level change is estimated for the 21st century using 15 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 climate models and three shared socioeconomic pathways. Projected evaporation increase is significantly larger than precipitation increase integrated over the Caspian Sea catchment basin, resulting in an increasingly negative water balance over the 21st century. A best-fit model analysis that resolves important model limitations related to spatial resolution, climate sensitivity, and Caspian Sea surface area suggests climate-driven sea level reductions of about 8 (inter-model range from 2 to 15) m and 14 (inter-model range from 11 to 21) m by the end of this century for the SSP245 and SSP585 scenarios, respectively. A sea level decline of these magnitudes will result in complete desiccation of the northern Caspian basin and will have adverse effects on ecosystems, coastal infrastructure, navigation, biodiversity, and economies of the entire Caspian region.
The European Green Deal improves the sustainability of food systems but has uneven economic impacts on consumers and farmers

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe European Green Deal aims notably to achieve a fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food system in the European Union. We develop a partial equilibrium economic model to assess the market and non-market impacts of the three main levers of the Green Deal targeting the food chain: reducing the use of chemical inputs in agriculture, decreasing post-harvest losses, and shifting toward healthier average diets containing lower quantities of animal-based products. Substantially improving the climate, biodiversity, and nutrition performance of the European food system requires jointly using the three levers. This allows a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of food consumption and a 40–50% decrease in biodiversity damage. Consumers win economically thanks to lower food expenditures. Livestock producers lose through quantity and price declines. Impacts on revenues of food/feed field crop producers are positive only when the increase in food consumption products outweighs the decrease in feed consumption.

Traffic‐aware rate control for mix‐flow in datacenter
Authors: Li Zhaoyi , Huang Jiawei , Li Yijun , Wang Jianxin 
Published: October 2023

AbstractDatacenter applications generate diverse flows, including deadline flows and non‐deadline flows. The deadline flows require to complete within strict deadline, while non‐deadline flows seek a shorter flow completion time. The state‐of‐the‐art deadline‐aware methods either transmit deadline flows with best‐effort at high priority, resulting in the starvation of non‐deadline flows, or blindly restrict the sending rates of deadline flows, leading to a high deadline missing ratio. To meet the different requirements of mix‐flows, a novel traffic‐aware rate control (TRC) method is proposed. TRC dynamically adjusts the sending rates of deadline flows according to their deadlines and the predicted future traffic patterns. If the intense competition is predicted among deadline flows, TRC will adopt a more aggressive manner to transmit the current deadline flows to avoid bandwidth contention in the future, reducing the deadline missing ratio. Otherwise, TRC will conservatively transmit deadline flows and complete these flows near their respective deadlines, relinquishing the excess bandwidth to non‐deadline flows. Meanwhile, TRC schedules non‐deadline flows in accordance with their sizes, minimizing the average FCT. The performance of TRC in large‐scale scenarios is evaluated through NS2 simulations. The test results show that TRC reduces the deadline missing ratio of deadline flows and the FCT of non‐deadline flows by up to 69.5% and 78.7% compared to the state‐of‐the‐art deadline‐aware schemes, respectively.
Virtual coupling of permanent magnetic maglev trains: An improved cooperative tracking and collision avoidance control protocol
Authors: Guo Zhenyu , Li Zhongqi 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn the cooperative tracking task of multiple permanent magnetic maglev trains, system uncertainty, external disturbances, and collision avoidance control are issues that must be considered. Therefore, the cooperative tracking and collision avoidance control for train virtual coupling with external disturbances are studied. First, according to the idea of multi‐agent consensus control and active disturbance rejection control, a cooperative tracking controller based on a novel nonlinear extended state observer (NESO) is designed. Second, a collision avoidance control method based on an improved artificial potential field (APF) is designed. Finally, an improved cooperative tracking and collision avoidance control protocol is proposed, and the stability proof is given. Compared with the conventional protocol, the proposed protocol can achieve smooth coupling and high‐precision cruise while ensuring safe collision avoidance. It has the advantages of higher tracking accuracy and stronger anti‐interference performance.
Engaging through storytelling: the interplay of engagement with a story, cause, and charity
Authors: Kaczorowska Karolina , Conduit Jodie , Goodman Steven 
Published: October 2023

AbstractCharities engage customers with their cause to encourage charity support behaviours (CSB) and often use storytelling to create that impact. We argue that mechanisms underpinning this process manifest in the story recipients’ engagement with a sequence of focal objects—from the story (i.e. through narrative transportation) to the cause it concerns (i.e. customer engagement), to the charity that supports the cause (i.e. CSB). An online survey (n = 585) required participants to alternatively read a story of a person experiencing homelessness or a general text about homelessness. Results show that narrative transportation leads to CSB through different cognitive, affective, and conative customer engagement paths. Using both narrative and non-narrative text, managers can appeal to specific dimensions of customer engagement to elicit high and low involvement CSB.
A ten-year review analysis of the impact of digitization on tourism development (2012–2022)
Authors: Jiang Chunyu , Phoong Seuk Wai 
Published: October 2023

AbstractMany tourism-related activities have been suspended due to the nationally enforced lockdown to combat the Coronavirus pandemic. The tourism industry suffered immensely from the lockdown, and as a result of this, digital tourism began gaining traction and attracted public attention. This study analyses the impact of digitalization on the social and economic sustainability of the tourism industry via systematic literature network analysis. The findings indicated that digitalization impacts economic sustainability, encompassing economic benefits in tourism product development, tourism consumption, and industrial development. Moreover, digitalization fosters social development, cultural awareness, and tourism participation in digital technology and cultural heritage. This study identified publication trends and research hotspots using bibliometric analysis, and it was confirmed that Sustainability was the top journal in published digital and tourism sustainability-related articles, followed by the International Journal of Tourism Research, Tourism Management, and Current Issues in Tourism. This study resulted in two implications: identifying the knowledge gap and evidence-based decision-making based on the (previous) literature. Recommendation for future research is also discussed in this study, which is helpful to policymakers, tourism planners, and researchers to develop strategies grounded in research.
Discursive use of stability in New York Times’ coverage of China: a sentiment analysis approach
Authors: Wang Guofeng , Liu Yilin , Tu Shengmeng 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe importance of stability has been consistently emphasized in China and the discursive use of stability is found to have legitimizing effects in Chinese newspapers, but how such political keywords are employed by the newspaper of a country that is ideologically distinct from China remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by investigating the use of stability in The New York Times’ coverage of China between 1980 and 2020, drawing on critical discourse analysis (particularly, the discourse-historical approach) and sentiment analysis. A diachronic quantitative analysis demonstrates an overall negative sentiment in news reports relating to China’s stability across these years, with positive sentiment evident only during the 1980s and negative sentiment prevailing from 1990 to 2020. These findings are consistent with general trends in US-China relations and US foreign policy over the four decades. Qualitative analysis reveals that negative sentiment focuses on sociopolitical and territorial issues, whereas positive sentiment focuses primarily on economic and financial aspects, indicating that the newspaper views the issue of China’s stability from a politically self-interested perspective of the US and is also concerned about the persistence of certain dominant ideologies in American society. This study contributes to a greater comprehension of the use of political keywords in national and international news discourse, especially by the media of ideologically diverse societies. Moreover, because the application of sentiment analysis to critical discourse analysis and news discourse analysis has proven to be time-efficient, verifiable, and accurate, researchers can confidently employ it to disclose hidden meanings in texts.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The noble metal-based electrochemical sensor design for efficient and stable formaldehyde(FA) detection is important ongoing research. In this paper, PtPd/Nafion/GCE is prepared by electrochemical cyclic voltammetry deposition method based on electrodepositing nanostructured platinum (Pt)-palladium (Pd) nanoparticles in Nafion film-coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The influence of deposition parameters and chemical composition (atomic ratio of Pt and Pd) on the electrochemical behaviour of PtPd/Nafion/GCE has been investigated. PtPd/Nafion/GCE displays a remarked electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of FA and exhibits a linear relationship in the range of 10–5000 μM, with a detection limit of 3.3 μM in 0.1 M H2SO4 solution. It is proved that the detection performance of PtPd/Nafion/GCE electrode is valuable for further application with low detection limit, wide linear range, favourable selectivity and high response.

Abstract
The synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) graphitic g-C3N4 and heteroatom-doped graphitic H@g-C3N4 (H: B, P, or S) particles were successfully done using melamine as source compounds and boric acid, phosphorous red, and sulfur as doping agents. The band gap values of 2D g-C3N4, B50@g-C3N4, P50@g-C3N4, and S50@g-C3N4 structures were determined as 2.90, 3.03, 2.89, and 2.93 eV, respectively. The fluorescent emission wavelengths of 2D g-C3N4, B50@g-C3N4, P50@g-C3N4, and S50@g-C3N4 structures were observed at 442, 430, 441, and 442 nm, respectively upon excitation at λ
Ex = 325 nm. There is also one additional new emission wavelength was found at 345 nm for B50@g-C3N4 structure. The blood compatibility test results of g-C3N4, B50@g-C3N4, P50@g-C3N4, and S50@g-C3N4 structures revealed that all materials are blood compatible with <2% hemolysis and >90% blood clotting indices at 100 μg ml−1 concentration. The cell toxicity of the prepared 2D graphitic structures were also tested on L929 fibroblast cells, and even the heteroatom doped has g-C3N4 structures induce no cytotoxicity was observed with >91% cell viability even at 250 μg ml−1 particle concentration with the exception of P50@g-C3N4 which as >75 viability. Moreover, for 2D g-C3N4, B50@g-C3N4, and S50@g-C3N4 constructs, even at 500 μg ml−1 concentration, >90% cell viabilities was monitored. As a diagnostic material, B50@g-C3N4 was found to have significantly high penetration and distribution abilities into L929 fibroblast cells granting a great potential in fluorescence imaging and bioimaging applications. Furthermore, the elemental doping with B, P, and S of g-C3N4 were found to significantly increase the photodynamic antibacterial activity e.g. more than half of bacterial elimination by heteroatom-doped forms of g-C3N4 under UVA treatment was achieved.

In this study, we investigate exact spherically symmetric Gauss-Bonnet black hole solutions surrounded by a cloud of string fluid with the cosmological constant in

dimensions. Both charged and uncharged cases are considered. We focus on the de Sitter solutions in the main text and provide the anti-de Sitter solutions in the appendix. We analyze the features of event horizons and thermodynamic properties of the black hole solutions. The mass, Hawking temperature, thermal stability, and phase transitions are discussed. Moreover, the equation of state and critical phenomena associated with these solutions are explored.
(Pseudo) Scalar mesons in a self-consistent NJL model*
Authors: Yu 俞 Xiaozhu 笑竹 , Wang 王 Xinyang 昕杨 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the mass spectra of π and σ mesons at finite chemical potential using the self-consistent NJL model and the Fierz-transformed interaction Lagrangian. The model introduces an arbitrary parameter α to reflect the weights of the Fierz-transformed interaction channels. We show that, when α exceeds a certain threshold value, the chiral phase transition transforms from a first-order one to a smooth crossover, which is evident from the behaviors of the chiral condensates and meson masses. Additionally, at a high chemical potential, the smaller the value of α, the higher the masses of the π and σ mesons. Moreover, the Mott and dissociation chemical potentials increase with the increase in α. Thus, the meson mass emerges as a valuable experimental observable for determining the value of α and investigating the properties of the chiral phase transition in dense QCD matter.
Riverine nitrogen footprint of agriculture in the Mississippi–Atchafalaya River Basin: do we trade water quality for crop production?
Authors: Lu Chaoqun , Zhang Jien , Yi Bo , Calderon Ignacio , Feng Hongli , Miao Ruiqing , Hennessy David , Pan Shufen , Tian Hanqin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Increasing food and biofuel demands have led to the cascading effects from cropland expansions, raised fertilizer use, to increased riverine nitrogen (N) loads. However, little is known about the current trade-off between riverine N pollution and crop production due to the lack of predictive understanding of ecological processes across the land-aquatic continuum. Here, we propose a riverine N footprint (RNF) concept to quantify how N loads change along with per unit crop production gain. Using data synthesis and a well-calibrated hydro-ecological model, we find that the RNF within the Mississippi–Atchafalaya River Basin peaked at 1.95 g N kg−1 grain during the 1990s, and then shifted from an increasing to a decreasing trend, reaching 0.65 g N kg−1 grain in the 2010s. This implies decoupled responses of crop production and N loads to key agricultural activities approximately after 2000, but this pattern varies considerably among sub-basins. Our study highlights the importance of developing a food–energy–water nexus indicator to examine the region-specific trade-offs between crop production and land-to-aquatic N loads for achieving nutrient mitigation goals while sustaining economic gains.

Abstract

Motivation
Currently, the Polygenic Score (PGS) Catalog curates over 400 publications on over 500 traits corresponding to over 3000 polygenic risk scores (PRSs). To assess the feasibility of privately calculating the underlying multivariate relative risk for individuals with consumer genomics data, we developed an in-browserPRS calculator for genomic data that does not circulate any data or engage in any computation outside of the user's personal device.

Results
A prototype personal risk score calculator, created for research purposes, was developed to demonstrate how the PGS Catalog can be privately and readily applied to readily available direct-to-consumer genetic testing services, such as 23andMe. No software download, installation, or configuration is needed. The PRS web calculator matches individual PGS catalog entries with an individual's 23andMe genome data composed of 600k to 1.4 M single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Beta coefficients provide researchers with a convenient assessment of risk associated with matched SNPs. This in-browser application was tested in a variety of personal devices, including smartphones, establishing the feasibility of privately calculating personal risk scores with up to a few thousand reference genetic variations and from the full 23andMe SNP data file (compressed or not).

Availability and implementation
The PRScalc web application is developed in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS and is available at GitHub repository (https://episphere.github.io/prs) under an MIT license. The datasets were derived from sources in the public domain: [PGS Catalog, Personal Genome Project].
Peyote as Earth Medicine: Examining How Symbolic Meanings Shape Experiences With Psychedelics
Authors: Copes Heith , Ragland Jared 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Narrative criminology prioritizes personal narratives for explaining past behaviours and shaping future decisions. Using this perspective, we rely on data from a photo-ethnography with people who use peyote in religious ceremonies to understand how their discourses about peyote shape their experiences with it. We find that participants define peyote as an ‘earth medicine’ that helps with healing (physical, spiritual and psychological) and thus should be respected. This narrative dictates how and when they use it (e.g. with intention and not recreationally), distances from other drugs (which are regarded as harmful) and directs their physiological experiences. Findings suggest that the symbolic meaning associated with specific drugs justifies using it and directs and encourages continued use. Thus, understanding drug use requires examining how discourse about specific drugs are incorporated into personal narratives.
Structural and Socio-Political Barriers to Providing Services to Arab-Palestinian Young Women: Social Workers’ Perspectives
Authors: Elias Haneen , Alnabilsy Raghda , Pagorek-Eshel Shira , Levin Lia 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The aim of the study was to understand structural and socio-political barriers faced by social workers to providing services to Arab-Palestinian young women abused in childhood, considering their multiple marginalisation. The literature has addressed the structural barriers in terms of the written policy and the social services provided to the Arab-Palestinian minority. However, little is known about how these barriers affect the provision of services to Arab-Palestinian young women abused in childhood from the perspective of service providers. To address this gap, twenty-one social workers were interviewed in depth. The findings revealed two main themes: (i) structural discrimination and the socio-political context of Arab Palestinians in Israel; (ii) challenges and structural barriers at the level of social policy. Our findings shed light on the oppressive othering of Arab-Palestinian young women, who feel invisible vis- à-vis governmental organisations. Thus, social workers working in the field should examine the needs of the young women and work in collaboration with senior government officials to promote culture- and gender-adapted programmes.
Temporal manipulation of the Scn1a gene reveals its essential role in adult brain function

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Dravet syndrome is a severe epileptic encephalopathy, characterized by drug-resistant epilepsy, severe cognitive and behavioural deficits, with increased risk of sudden unexpected death (SUDEP). It is caused by haploinsufficiency of SCN1A gene encoding for the α-subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.1. Therapeutic approaches aiming to upregulate the healthy copy of SCN1A gene to restore its normal expression levels are being developed. However, whether Scn1a gene function is required only during a specific developmental time-window or, alternatively, if its physiological expression is necessary in adulthood is untested up to now.
We induced Scn1a gene haploinsufficiency at two ages spanning postnatal brain development (P30 and P60) and compared the phenotypes of those mice to Scn1a perinatally induced mice (P2), recapitulating all deficits of Dravet mice.
Induction of heterozygous Nav1.1 mutation at P30 and P60 elicited susceptibility to the development of both spontaneous and hyperthermia-induced seizures and SUDEP rates comparable to P2-induced mice, with symptom onset accompanied by the characteristic GABAergic interneuron dysfunction. Finally, delayed Scn1a haploinsufficiency induction provoked hyperactivity, anxiety and social attitude impairment at levels comparable to age matched P2-induced mice, while it was associated with a better cognitive performance, with P60-induced mice behaving like the control group.
Our data show that maintenance of physiological levels of Nav1.1 during brain development is not sufficient to prevent Dravet symptoms and that long-lasting restoration of Scn1a gene expression would be required to grant optimal clinical benefit in patients with Dravet syndrome.
