Published: December 2023

Abstract
The intrinsic connection between the transverse photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) and the Imbert–Fedorov shift has been well characterized. However, physical insights into the longitudinal photonic spin splitting associated with the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift remain elusive. This paper aims to expand the theory of the PSHE generation mechanism from the transverse to the longitudinal case by examining the reflection of each spin component from an arbitrarily linearly polarized incident Gaussian beam on the air-dielectric interface. Unlike the transverse case, both spin-maintained and spin-flipped modes exhibit non-zero longitudinal displacements, with the latter being affected by the second-order expansion term of the Fresnel reflection coefficient with respect to the in-plane wave-vector component. Meanwhile, the polarization angle plays a crucial role in determining the longitudinal PSHE since each reflected total spin component is a coherent superposition of these two corresponding modes. Remarkably, the imaginary part of the relative permittivity of the dielectric significantly affects the symmetry of the longitudinal PSHE. Furthermore, the GH shift results from a superposition of individual spin states’ longitudinal displacements, taking into account their energy weights. By incorporating the corresponding extrinsic orbital angular momentum, we explore the generation mechanism of the symmetric/asymmetric longitudinal PSHE. The unified physical framework elucidating the longitudinal photonic spin splitting and GH shift provides a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental origin of the PSHE and beam shifts, paving the way for potential applications in spin-controlled nanophotonics.

Abstract
The study focused on the efficiency of radio frequency (RF) assisted heat pump (HP) drying of shrimp. The experimental drying was conducted with input drying parameters as the drying-air temperature of 45°C, the drying-air velocity of 2.0 m/s, and RF power of 0, 0.5 and 1.0 kW, in which, HP only drying was corresponding to RF power of 0 kW. In the study, the effect of RF power on drying rate, color change, and protein content of dried shrimp were considered. When RF power increased, the drying rate and protein retention of dried shrimp increased significantly. At RF power of 1.0 kW, the drying time was 260 minutes, that reduced about 19% and 38% as compared to RF power of 0.5 and 0 kW. The protein content of shrimp after drying was 62.06%, 66.02% and 69.87% corresponding to the drying modes at RF power of 0, 0.5 and 1.0 kW. Besides, in RF assisted HP drying, the shrimp samples after drying got better color, appearance, and taste than those of HP only drying. At RF power of 1.0 kW, the dried shrimp got the best redness and lightness color, followed by the drying modes at RF power of 0.5 and 0 kW. In both RF assisted HP drying and HP only drying, the dried shrimp surface was not cracked, and the dried products obtained the good taste and the level of redness and lightness required.

Abstract
Since October 2017, Vietnam’s fisheries have made efforts to address the European Commission (EC)’s yellow card warning. One key factor in removing the yellow card warning was implementing a fishing vessel monitoring system (VMS) to manage and monitor fishing vessels at sea and prevent them from violating foreign waters. However, there has been limited research evaluating the effectiveness of VMS in Vietnam. To address this gap, this study focused on evaluating the use of VMS in Ca Mau province, one of the country’s dominant fisheries. The study collected primary and secondary data from 94 surveyed fishermen who were captains and owners of Ca Mau fishing vessels equipped with VMS between December 2021 and April 2022. The findings showed that 99.5% of fishing vessels were equipped with VMS, with the ZuniVN-01 equipment being the most commonly selected (39.7%), followed by Viettel S-tracking (24.2%), and BA-SAT-01 (23.5%). However, these VMS failures occurred frequently, with the most significant being disconnection for more than ten days between the VMS onboard and the local control center. Despite these failures, 96.8% of respondents believed that VMS was effective, particularly for emergency rescue functions (73.4%). The automatic transmission of the vessel’s location via GPS every two or three hours received the highest rating (78.7%) from respondents. Additionally, most fishers (68.5%) believed that the core requirements of VMS were appropriate. Based on the study’s results, practical recommendations were proposed to stakeholders to improve the effectiveness of VMS.

Abstract
There have been very few studies on mollusk diversity in remote areas of the Philippines. The coastal areas of Caramoan, Camarines Sur, are ideal for studying marine molluscs because they have been discovered to be abundant, diverse, and essential to the locals’ livelihood. However, due to the remoteness of the mentioned area, this lack of information remains scientifically lacking. Thus, this study aimed to determine the diversity of marine macro-molluscan bivalves and gastropods in the intertidal areas of Barangay Paniman, Caramoan, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Purposive sampling and transect methods assessed the species composition, abundance, and occurrence of marine macro bivalves and gastropods. The Shannon-Wiener index was used to determine the area’s diversity. A total of 557 individual molluscs were sampled and classified, obtaining 43 species of bivalves from 32 genera and 18 families and 47 species of gastropods from 34 genera and 20 families. The family Veneridae had the highest among the bivalves, and the family Strombidae had the highest species richness among the gastropods. This study provided baseline information on the status of marine macro molluscan bivalves and gastropods in the intertidal area of Barangay Paniman, Caramoan, Camarines Sur, Philippines. As a result, this will provide solid empirical evidence for conservation and sustainability plans.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The operational longevity of a nuclear power plant, specifically of the light water reactor type, hinges on the assessment of component degradation, with a particular focus on the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) materials. Among the most prevalent defects responsible for irradiation-induced hardening in RPV materials are point defects (PDs) and dislocation loops (DLs). However, their respective contributions to the overall hardening of RPV materials have not been clearly determined. To address this issue, this study was conducted using iron alloys with equivalent Mn and Ni content to those used in nuclear RPV in Japan. The study employed transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atom probe tomography (APT), and nanoindentation to assess the roles of PDs and DLs in contributing to the hardening behaviour of RPV materials. The results indicated that both solute clusters (SCs), which are formed by the aggregation of PDs, and DLs play equally important roles in the hardening behaviour of RPV materials. However, an in-depth analysis of three-dimensional images using the APT method revealed that there may have been errors in evaluating SCs and DLs, leading to double counting when assessing the impact of irradiation-induced defects on the hardening behaviour of RPV materials. These findings highlight the need for improved accuracy in evaluating these defects to better understand the behaviour of RPV materials under irradiation.

Abstract
Binh Thuan province has a coastline of about 192 km, the coastline connecting with the surrounding space to create the coastal ecosystem. This is an important area for the socio-economic development of Binh Thuan province. However, in the process of development, some existing problems have been revealed, limiting the manifestation of unsustainability, especially the use of water resources. Research results show that, at present, Binh Thuan province has 188 mining and mineral processing enterprises, which not only consume a lot of water but also pollute the environment and exhaust water resources of Binh Thuan province. In order to reduce water shortage in Binh Thuan province, it is necessary to have specific and strict solutions to improve water efficiency. On the basis of monitoring data and the help of Seawat model, the study has determined coastal water reserves of Binh Thuan province, thereby determining the amount of water to be safely exploited. These data have been integrated with the RCP4.5 scenario and forecast for the years 2030, 2060 and 2090. From there, we propose some solutions to overcome water shortage, serving sustainable development. coastal water resources of Binh Thuan province.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study developed a mathematical model of the transient mass and heat transfer of Cordyceps militaris during lyophilization. This mathematical model was solved using a program coded in MATLAB to simulate the relationship between product temperature and sublimation rate over time. The parameters of the drying mode were set in the simulation as follows: heating plate temperature from 273.2 to 303.2 K, the absolute pressure of the drying chamber is from 30 Pa to 60 Pa. The fruiting body of cordyceps analyzed in the study is considered a cylindrical shape with a radius of 1.5 mm and length of 60 mm, which was arranged in 1 layer on a tray with dimensions of 200x300x20 mm. Research shows that the sublimation rate increases when the heating plate temperature increases. Besides, the decrease in sublimation chamber pressure will lead to rapid increases in drying speed. This result can also be used to build software to set the technological mode for the cordyceps drying process by sublimation.
Are Political “Attacks” on the Judiciary Ever Justifiable? The Relationship Between Unfair Criticism and Public Accountability
Authors: Stephenson Scott 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Political “attacks” on the judiciary are a well-known threat to constitutional democracy. Criticism of the judiciary by politicians is often said to constitute one form of attack when it is unfair in the sense that it is not relevant to the judiciary’s constitutional role and/or not respectful. Unfair criticism is frequently claimed to be unacceptable on the basis that it threatens judicial independence and impartiality and, therefore, the rule of law. The Article critically interrogates this claim, arguing that unfair criticism can have value as a form of public accountability of the judiciary. It can hold the judiciary to account for aspects of its decision making that should be subject to scrutiny and that other accountability mechanisms, such as the appeals procedure and the lawmaking process, do not. In particular, it is apt to hold the judiciary to account for the diffuse societal effects, values, and principles of its decision making. As a result, the justifiability of unfair criticism is contestable and context specific because it involves taking into consideration both its potential value and its potential threat. The Article evaluates the subject by drawing on the experiences with unfair criticism of the judiciary by members of the executive and legislature in Australia and the United Kingdom.

Abstract
Low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and low sunlight exposure are known risk factors for the development of multiple sclerosis. Add-on vitamin D supplementation trials in established multiple sclerosis have been inconclusive. The effects of vitamin D supplementation to prevent multiple sclerosis is unknown.
We aimed to test the hypothesis that oral vitamin D3 supplementation in high-risk clinically isolated syndrome (abnormal MRI, at least three T2 brain and/or spinal cord lesions), delays time to conversion to definite multiple sclerosis, that the therapeutic effect is dose-dependent, and that all doses are safe and well tolerated.
We conducted a double-blind trial in Australia and New Zealand. Eligible participants were randomized 1:1:1:1 to placebo, 1000, 5000 or 10 000 international units (IU) of oral vitamin D3 daily within each study centre (n = 23) and followed for up to 48 weeks. Between 2013 and 2021, we enrolled 204 participants. Brain MRI scans were performed at baseline, 24 and 48 weeks.
The main study outcome was conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis based on the 2010 McDonald criteria defined as either a clinical relapse or new brain MRI T2 lesion development.
We included 199 cases in the intention-to-treat analysis based on assigned dose. Of these, 116 converted to multiple sclerosis by 48 weeks (58%). Compared to placebo, the hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) for conversion were 1000 IU 0.87 (0.50, 1.50); 5000 IU 1.37 (0.82, 2.29); and 10 000 IU 1.28 (0.76, 2.14). In an adjusted model including age, sex, latitude, study centre and baseline symptom number, clinically isolated syndrome onset site, presence of infratentorial lesions and use of steroids, the hazard ratios (versus placebo) were 1000 IU 0.80 (0.45, 1.44); 5000 IU 1.36 (0.78, 2.38); and 10 000 IU 1.07 (0.62, 1.85). Vitamin D3 supplementation was safe and well tolerated.
We did not demonstrate reduction in multiple sclerosis disease activity by vitamin D3 supplementation after a high-risk clinically isolated syndrome.

Abstract
Large-scale genotype and phenotype data have been increasingly generated to identify genetic markers, understand gene function and evolution and facilitate genomic selection. These datasets hold immense value for both current and future studies, as they are vital for crop breeding, yield improvement and overall agricultural sustainability. However, integrating these datasets from heterogeneous sources presents significant challenges and hinders their effective utilization. We established the Genotype-Phenotype Working Group in November 2021 as a part of the AgBioData Consortium (https://www.agbiodata.org) to review current data types and resources that support archiving, analysis and visualization of genotype and phenotype data to understand the needs and challenges of the plant genomic research community. For 2021–22, we identified different types of datasets and examined metadata annotations related to experimental design/methods/sample collection, etc. Furthermore, we thoroughly reviewed publicly funded repositories for raw and processed data as well as secondary databases and knowledgebases that enable the integration of heterogeneous data in the context of the genome browser, pathway networks and tissue-specific gene expression. Based on our survey, we recommend a need for (i) additional infrastructural support for archiving many new data types, (ii) development of community standards for data annotation and formatting, (iii) resources for biocuration and (iv) analysis and visualization tools to connect genotype data with phenotype data to enhance knowledge synthesis and to foster translational research. Although this paper only covers the data and resources relevant to the plant research community, we expect that similar issues and needs are shared by researchers working on animals.

Sign language delays in deaf 3- to 5-year-olds with deaf parents
Authors: Morere Donna A , Allen Thomas E , Jaeger Maura , Winthrop Dana 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Research has demonstrated that deaf children of deaf signing parents (DOD) are afforded developmental advantages. This can be misconstrued as indicating that no DOD children exhibit early language delays (ELDs) because of their early access to a visual language. Little research has studied this presumption. In this study, we examine 174 ratings of DOD 3- to 5-year-old children, for whom signing in the home was indicated, using archival data from the online database of the Visual Communication and Sign Language Checklist. Our goals were to (1) examine the incidence of ELDs in a cohort of DOD children; (2) compare alternative scaling strategies for identifying ELD children; (3) explore patterns among behavioral ratings with a view toward developing a greater understanding of the types of language behaviors that may lie at the root of language delays; and (4) suggest recommendations for parents and professionals working with language-delayed DOD children. The results indicated that a significant number of ratings suggested ELDs, with a subset significantly delayed. These children likely require further evaluation. Among the less delayed group, ASL skills, rather than communication or cognition, were seen as the major concern, suggesting that even DOD children may require support developing linguistically accurate ASL. Overall, these findings support the need for early and ongoing evaluation of visual language skills in young DOD children.
Widespread Deviant Patterns of Heterozygosity in Whole-Genome Sequencing Due to Autopolyploidy, Repeated Elements, and Duplication

Abstract
Most population genomic tools rely on accurate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calling and filtering to meet their underlying assumptions. However, genomic complexity, resulting from structural variants, paralogous sequences, and repetitive elements, presents significant challenges in assembling contiguous reference genomes. Consequently, short-read resequencing studies can encounter mismapping issues, leading to SNPs that deviate from Mendelian expected patterns of heterozygosity and allelic ratio. In this study, we employed the ngsParalog software to identify such deviant SNPs in whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data with low (1.5×) to intermediate (4.8×) coverage for four species: Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus), Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), and the American Eel (Anguilla rostrata). The analyses revealed that deviant SNPs accounted for 22% to 62% of all SNPs in salmonid datasets and approximately 11% in the American Eel dataset. These deviant SNPs were particularly concentrated within repetitive elements and genomic regions that had recently undergone rediploidization in salmonids. Additionally, narrow peaks of elevated coverage were ubiquitous along all four reference genomes, encompassed most deviant SNPs, and could be partially associated with transposons and tandem repeats. Including these deviant SNPs in genomic analyses led to highly distorted site frequency spectra, underestimated pairwise FST values, and overestimated nucleotide diversity. Considering the widespread occurrence of deviant SNPs arising from a variety of sources, their important impact in estimating population parameters, and the availability of effective tools to identify them, we propose that excluding deviant SNPs from WGS datasets is required to improve genomic inferences for a wide range of taxa and sequencing depths.
