AbstractCadmium (Cd) is a hazardous heavy metal, and Cd pollution has become a serious problem worldwide. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil crop in the world and has a strong capacity to accumulate Cd in soil. The natural resistant-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) plays an important part in the absorption and transportation of Cd in plants. To date, the NRAMP family in peanut is ill-informed. In the present study, 29 AhNRAMPs were identified and were classified into three groups and fourteen proteins in group 1 (G1), ten proteins in group 2 (G2) and five proteins in group 3 (G3). There are 71-1347 amino acids in AhNRAMPs. Most of the AhNRAMPs exhibited tissue-specific expression patterns. For instance, AhNRAMP10 and AhNRAMP26 from G1 were highly expressed in roots, G2 genes in shoots and leaves and G3 genes in shoots. The transcriptional levels of AhNRAMPs in roots can be regulated by Cd. Notably, 55% of (16) AhNRAMPs genes were upregulated in peanut roots and positively responded to Cd stress. It’s worth noting that the relative expressions of AhNRAMP2 and AhNRAMP11, which were increased by 6.9-fold and 14.1-fold at 3 h in roots of Cd-enriched variety under Cd stress while decreasing by 44% and 25% at the same time in Cd sensitive variety. In a word, the comprehensive research of the AhNRAMP family provides insights into the capacity of Cd enrichment in peanut.
The Effect of Family Foster Care vs. Residential Group Care on Educational Attainment

Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study investigates the effect of foster care relative to residential group care on enrollment in upper secondary education among Danish children in out-of-home care who were placed out of home at the age six to 14 years (n = 4530). We address the proposition that children placed in family foster care generally have less severe emotional and/or behavioral problems than children placed in residential group care by utilizing a variation in the municipalities’ relative use of foster care among all children placed in out-of-home care. We find evidence that children living in municipalities with a high inclination to use foster care will be more likely to enroll in upper secondary education (p = 0.004). When splitting the sample by gender, we see that the effects are significant only among girls. When looking at potential mechanisms, we find that children in foster care are more likely to attend the school-leaving exams after lower secondary school, while we find no effect on the average standardized test score in the school-leaving exams. As with the main results, these findings apply to the girls only.

AbstractProblematic smartphone use has been associated with poorer mental health in different population groups; however, little is known about how levels of smartphone use were associated with mental health outcomes of adults in Australia. Using data from a cross-sectional survey among Australian adults aged 18–59 years (n = 655, Mean = 24.55 [SD = 5.59] years; 66% female), the current study aimed to examine association between problematic smartphone use and different psychological outcomes. Participants completed measures of problematic smartphone use with Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS), mental health outcomes with Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), in addition to some socio-demographics. Smartphone use was categorised into three groups: low-moderate, moderate-high, and high-severe. A total of 160 adults (24.4%) reported high-severe smartphone use. Multivariable linear regression analyses showed that smartphone use was inversely associated with psychological outcomes in a dose-dependent manner with high-severe smartphone uses having the most adverse effects. Compared to low-moderate use, average depression score was 3.5 points higher for moderate-high smartphone use (β = 3.51, 95% CI: 1.63–5.40) and 6.9 points higher for high-severe smartphone use (β = 6.91, 95% CI: 4.74–9.07). Similarly, average stress score was 3.4 points higher for moderate-high smartphone use (β = 3.40, 95% CI: 1.75–5.06) and 7.0 points higher for high-severe smartphone use (β = 7.02, 95% CI: 5.11–8.93). Similar association estimates were found for anxiety and sleep quality. Reducing smartphone use has the potential to optimise depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality; however, longitudinal research is warranted to establish directionality of the association.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe food industry, as a consequence of globalization and in particular with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, is calling for additional measures to reduce the risks of contamination throughout the steps of the food chain. Several methods are used to avoid this problem, such as hot water or chemical procedures. However, they have some disadvantages like high economic costs or the fact that they are not eco-friendly technologies. For those reasons, novel strategies are being sought in order to substitute or work in synergy with conventional decontamination systems. Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) can be produced by many various sources for a wide range of different applications, including decontamination. In this study, a Large-Area Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge plasma source has been used with the aim of inactivating Staphylococcus epidermidis inoculated on polypropylene food packaging samples inside a treatment chamber. Moreover, electrical and chemical analysis of the plasma source has been carried out, as well as temperature measurements. A homogenous distribution of the reactive species inside the treatment chamber was suggested, achieving almost 2 log of bacteria reduction for every plasma treatment. Finally, it was suggested that the inactivation rates reached were not caused by the thermal effect. Thus, it is strongly believed that CAP could be an eco-friendly, cheap, and sustainable technology for food packaging and food tools decontamination.

AbstractHollow particles have attracted considerable attention owing to their unique properties. In this study, hollow monoclinic zirconia particles were directly synthesized from inkjet droplets of a zirconyl hydroxychloride aqueous solution via atmospheric-pressure plasma processing. Hollow structures with craggy surfaces were obtained in the plasma at gas temperatures above 1000 K. The steep solvent evaporation rate induced by the localized high-energy reaction field of the atmospheric-pressure plasma may have induced solute condensation near the droplet surface and contributed to the formation of hollow particles. The average diameter of the synthesized particles was ~ 3 μm, while their size distribution was narrow (coefficient of variation: 0.06–0.10). The high reproducibility of the synthesized particles was attributed to the small variations in inkjet droplet size. The proposed method enables the rapid synthesis of hollow particles of various inorganic materials, while controlling their number and composition.

AbstractA new era of lunar exploration has begun bringing immense opportunities for science as well. It has been proposed to deploy a new generation of observatories on the lunar surface for deep studies of our Universe. This includes radio antennas, which would be protected on the far side of the Moon from terrestrial radio interference, and gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, which would profit from the extremely low level of seismic disturbances on the Moon. In recent years, novel concepts have been proposed for lunar GW detectors based on long-baseline laser interferometry or on compact sensors measuring the lunar surface vibrations caused by GWs. In this article, we review the concepts and science opportunities for such instruments on the Moon. In addition to promising breakthrough discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology, lunar GW detectors would also be formidable probes of the lunar internal structure and improve our understanding of the lunar geophysical environment.
Co-constructing knowledge with generative AI tools: Reflections from a CSCL perspective
Authors: Cress Ulrike , Kimmerle Joachim 
Published: October 2023

AbstractGenerative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, have received great attention from researchers, the media, and the public. They are gladly and frequently used for text production by many people. These tools have undeniable strengths but also weaknesses that must be addressed. In this squib we ask to what extent these tools can be employed by users for individual learning as well as for knowledge construction to spark a collective endeavor of developing new insights. We take a social, collective notion of knowledge as a basis and argue that users need to establish a dialog that goes beyond knowledge telling (simply writing what one knows) and stimulates knowledge transformation (converting knowledge into complex relational argumentation structures). Generative AI tools do not have any conceptual knowledge or conscious understanding, as they only use word transitions and rely on probabilities of word classes. We suggest, however, that argumentative dialogs among humans and AI tools can be achieved with appropriate prompts, where emergent processes of joint knowledge construction can take place. Based on this assumption, we inquire into the human and into the AI parts of communication and text production. For our line of argument, we borrow from research on individual and collaborative writing, group cognition, and the co-evolution of cognitive and social systems. We outline future CSCL research paths that might take the human-AI co-construction of knowledge into account in terms of terminology, theory, and methodology.

AbstractPrevious studies have shown that strong parent-youth relationships serve as a protective factor inhibiting early alcohol use onset among youth, while parental alcohol use as a risk factor. However, little is known about the moderating effect of parental alcohol use on the relationship between parent-youth relationships and youth alcohol use. Using a nationally representative sample of 2,667 junior high school students entering eighth grade (aged 14 to 15) in Taiwan, this study examined the moderating role of parent use of alcohol on the relationship between parent-youth relationships and youth alcohol use. Results show that parent-youth relationship only remains a protective factor for youths whose parents do not drink alcohol; parent-youth relationship increases the likelihood of youth alcohol use if the parents use alcohol. Results suggest that parents and practitioners aiming to prevent early alcohol use onset among junior high school students should be aware of the potential influence of parental alcohol use behaviors and educate youths to assess their health behaviors regardless of their parents’ alcohol use behaviors.

Published: October 2023

ZusammenfassungStudierende auf die Teilhabe an einer digital geprägten Arbeitswelt vorzubereiten, gehört nach den Empfehlungen des Wissenschaftsrates 2022 zu den vordringlichen Aufgaben der Hochschulbildung im 21. Jahrhundert. In der Politikwissenschaft steht die Diskussion über digitale Kompetenzen dagegen noch am Anfang. Der vorliegende Beitrag greift die Fachdebatte zu den Zielen des politikwissenschaftlichen Studiums auf und setzt sie in Beziehung zu den allgemeinen Zielen eines akademischen Studiums. Die sich daraus ergebenden politikwissenschaftlichen Fachkompetenzen bilden den Hintergrund für die Entwicklung und Kontextualisierung eines domänenspezifischen Modells digitaler Kompetenzen. Der zweite Teil des Artikels basiert auf einer qualitativen Studie, in der die Perspektive von Arbeitgeber*innen auf die erforderlichen digitalen Kompetenzen von Politikwissenschaftler*innen ermittelt wird. Die abschließende Reflexion argumentiert, dass wissenschaftliche Arbeitstechniken, empirische Forschungsmethoden und computergestützte Datenanalyse, forschendes Lernen und aktivierende Lehrmethoden die curricularen Anknüpfungspunkte bilden, an denen die Entwicklung von Digitalkompetenzen, die in wissenschaftlichen und beruflichen Kontexten relevant sind, ansetzen kann. Dabei sollten vor allem neue Medien als Präsentationsformate sowie digitale Sozial- und Problemlösungskompetenzen im Kontext kollaborativer Gruppenarbeit stärker fokussiert werden.
Resisting racialization: subjectivation of women of color in and beyond school
Authors: Hinrichsen Merle , Terstegen Saskia 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBased on poststructuralist theories of subjectivation and racialization, this article examines how experiences of racism at school and (digital) resistance practices interact in the subjectivation of young women of Color. Based on two case studies, each consisting of a biographical interview and a social media post, insights into different forms of racializing subjectivation in school and social media and possible resistance strategies are generated. Racializing subjectivation is summarised as a gradual phenomenon in which subjugation and resistance interact over time.
Bikini-line Hiatal Hernia Repair (BLHHR) During Sleeve Gastrectomy
Authors: Abdelbaki Tamer N 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
To preserve the aesthetic benefits achieved with Bikini line sleeve gastrectomy (BLSG), we have devised a novel approach for simultaneous hiatal hernia repair (HHR), known as bikini-line hiatal hernia repair (BLHHR). This manuscript presents our initial experience with BLHHR and assesses its feasibility and outcomes.

Methods
A prospective preliminary study was conducted on patients who underwent BLHHR between September 2020 and October 2022. Patient demographics, preoperative assessments, operative details, postoperative outcomes, and aesthetic evaluations were recorded. Feasibility and safety were assessed.

Results
Among 891 BLSG patients, 89 (9.9%) underwent BLHHR. The mean distances between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus, symphysis pubis, and anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) were 28.8 ± 2.2, 33.9 ± 3.1, and 31.2 ± 1.8 cm, respectively. Optimal visualization and accessibility of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) were achieved without compromising HHR repair or sleeve gastrectomy. The mean operative time was 76.5 ± 11 min, longer than the 58 ± 10 min required for BLSG alone. Patient scar satisfaction ranged from 87.5 to 97.9%, and the mean pain score was 2.9 ± 0.8. No major complications were reported. At 6 months, %EWL (percentage of excess weight loss) was 53.3 ± 13.7%, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) remission was achieved in 62.8% of patients and comorbidities were improved.

Conclusion
BLHHR was potentially feasible and safe. Outcomes related to patient scar satisfaction, weight loss, improvement of associated comorbidities, and GERD symptoms were not compromised. The aesthetic benefits achieved by BLSG were maintained.

Feasibility analysis of the application of building automation and control system and their interaction with occupant behavior
Authors: Bottero Marta , Cavana Giulio , Dell’Anna Federico 
Published: October 2023

AbstractOccupant behavior is among the main causes for the mismatch between simulated and in-use energy performance of buildings. One of the strategies considered capable of reducing user’s behavior induced energy consumption, while increasing indoor environmental quality is the application of Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS). In this study, three building user’s profiles have been considered depending on their energy consumption. The energy savings due to BACS class increase have been calculated, and a cost–benefit analysis (CBA) has been performed to evaluate the feasibility of different scenarios. Additional co-benefits perceived by the individuals have been accounted for in the form of willingness-to-pay (WTP). The methodology is applied to two case studies: a nearly zero-energy building (NZEB) rural single-family house and a recently renovated dwelling in an apartment block. The results show that the main reductions are achieved by the users’ behavior alone, and the adoption of BACS is economically feasible only when an incentive program is in place, and the WTP is repeated as a recurrent co-benefit over the years. In particular, relying only on energy reduction due to higher BACS class introduction is not economically desirable. The greatest savings are achieved by the behavioral change of the user when coupled with BACS, supporting their potential role in improving user’s energy literacy. Finally, incentive schemes are necessary to reduce the investment costs of such projects, being these the most influential variables in the feasibility of BACS applications.
Contribution Assessment of Northern Hemispheric Atmospheric Circulations to Korean Mid-Summer Surface Warming by the Atmospheric Nudging Experiment
Authors: Lee Min-Hee , Noh El , Kim Joo-Hong , Kim Joowan , Jun Sang-Yoon 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAnomalous surface warming in Korea has been explained by the high-pressure anomaly accompanied by the vertical sinking motion and weakening of westerlies at the exit of the East Asian Jet. The large-scale circulations linked to this high pressure over East Asia are characterized by the low pressure over the Arctic (AC) and the high pressure over Western Europe (WE), East Asia, and the North Pacific (NP). To assess the contribution of these circulation anomalies to the hot summer in Korea, the four nudging experiments (AC, NP, AC + NP, and WE) are applied to the simulations with 50 different initial conditions in July. As a result, the most similar patterns on local and hemispheric scales are found in the AC + NP nudging experiment. However, the near-surface response in the AC + NP is still weak, and its center shifts to the north compared to the observed, which is induced by the weaker diabatic contribution for the downward motion in the nudging experiment. Using the quasi-geostrophic omega equation, we find that the simulated radiative feedback process is not sufficient to build up the large-scale subsidence with the short nudging period. Despite this limitation, AC + NP well simulates the coherent sinking motion and high-pressure system near Korea by the vorticity advection associated with the upper-level westerlies. It implies that the contribution of the North Pacific circulation (a downstream region) should also be considered to reasonably simulate the East Asia surface warming along with those in the upstream regions.
LGB Female Veterans’ Experience of Military Service During the “Gay Ban”: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Biscoe Natasha , Hendrikx Laura Josephine , Williamson Victoria , Murphy Dominic 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction
Until 2000, the UK Armed Forces implemented a “gay ban” that led to the investigation and discharge of thousands of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) veterans. Yet, the experiences of those who served during the ban remain unknown. According to the minority stress model, individuals may face specific stressors related to both their gender and sexual minority status. Thus, the present study investigated the military experiences of female veterans who identify as LGB and who served during the ban.

Methods
Female LGB veterans (N = 10) were recruited from a larger cohort of female veterans who previously took part in a survey with a UK national veteran mental health charity. Participants were interviewed online using MS Teams between March and May 2022. A semi-structured interview method was employed to explore participants’ experiences of being LGB within the military as well as perceived differential treatment. Thematic qualitative analysis was used to identify key themes.

Results
Three overarching and seven subthemes were identified, reflecting the risk of being found out, the experience of negative treatment, and possible buffering factors.

Conclusions
Female LGB veterans who served under the “gay ban” faced negative experiences, including fear and distress, sexism, and interpersonal and institutional discrimination related to their (perceived) sexual orientation. In addition to experiencing negative treatment during service similar to non-LGB female veterans, LGB female veterans may face an elevated risk of being targeted and additionally experience sexual orientation discrimination. Findings of the current study are in line with the minority stress model.

Policy Implications
The current findings correspond with US evidence of ongoing negative treatment of LGB serving personnel. Together, this should encourage further investigation of ongoing negative treatment of LGB females within the UK Armed Forces, adaptations of veteran services to address unmet needs of female LGB veterans, and appropriate training to combat negative differential treatment of LGB female serving personnel.
