AbstractConservation translocations can restore populations and prevent extinction of threatened species. Sourcing adequate genetic diversity is an essential consideration when planning reintroductions, because it influences individual fitness and long-term persistence of populations, yet available populations of threatened species may lack diversity. We estimated population genetic parameters for one of Australia’s most threatened mammals, the northern bettong, Bettongia tropica, to select source populations for reintroduction. Individuals from sites across the species’ extant range in the Wet Tropics of north Queensland were genotyped, using 6,133 informative SNPs. We found that samples clustered into four populations: an isolated northern population at Mt Spurgeon and three connected southern populations in the Lamb Range. Most of the species’ genetic diversity was dispersed across the Lamb Range populations in approximately equal proportions. Populations showed an isolation-by-distance effect, even over short distances within continuous habitat. Admixture of populations was high at distances < 7 km but low at distances > 11 km, and there was asymmetrical gene flow between the two closest neighboring populations. All populations had small effective sizes and experienced drift, but connectivity appears to have mitigated drift and stabilized population sizes within the Lamb Range. The Mt Spurgeon population had a very small effective population size and low genetic diversity. We use our findings to weigh up the risks and benefits of mixing sources for reintroduction, and we recommend a mixed source approach. We do not currently recommend sourcing individuals from Mt Spurgeon and conservation efforts to preserve this population are urgently required.

AbstractThe green alga Ulva ohnoi M. Hiraoka & S. Shimada is an effective biofiltration agent of fish effluents in Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture Recirculation Systems (IMTA-RAS), due to its high growth rate and high nutrient (N and P) removal in temperate conditions. Moreover, Ulva species provide an important niche for biofilm-forming bacteria, including strains of Phaeobacter that possess antagonistic activity against pathogenic Vibrio species, and have been shown to reduce the mortality of fish in aquaculture settings. This research aimed to examine the potential of using U. ohnoi colonised with Phaeobacter sp. 4UAC3, previously isolated from natural populations of Ulva australis, as a strategy to prevent vibriosis in IMTA-RAS. The results showed that Phaeobacter sp. 4UAC3 was able to colonise and be maintained on U. ohnoi during a re-inoculation scale-up process from multi-well plates (10 mL) to flasks (4 L) and finally to tanks (40 L). Phaeobacter sp. 4UAC3 rapidly colonised the surface of the Ulva but it did not significantly modify the rest of the bacterial communities present in U. ohnoi surface in terms of diversity and composition. Infection assays using fish larvae (Scophthalmus maximus) with V. anguillarum in a model IMTA-RAS showed that Phaeobacter–colonized U. ohnoi promoted the reduction of mortality in the infected larvae, however this trend was not statistically supported. These results suggested that U. ohnoi can be experimentally colonised with Phaeobacter sp. 4UAC3 and has potential to be used in IMTA-RAS as an alternative to traditional disease control methods.

AbstractIn this study, schulenbergite [(Cu,Zn)7(SO4)2(OH)10·3H2O)]/CuO and pure ktenasite [(Cu,Zn)5(SO4)2(OH)6·6H2O)] minerals were simply synthesized via addition of sodium sulfide (Na2S) to a mixture of nanosized CuO powder dispersed into Zn(NO3)2·6H2O solution. The X-ray diffraction patterns illustrate the formation of schulenbergite/CuO mineral with ratio of 69:31% and 87/13% owing to additions of 0.1 and 0.2 mol L−1 Na2S, respectively. The addition of 0.4 mol L−1 Na2S substance lead to formation of pure ktenasite [(Cu,Zn)5(SO4)2(OH)6·6H2O)] mineral. The absorption vibration modes based on Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis verified the formation of schulenbergite/CuO and pure ktenasite compositions. The scanning electron microscope micrographs of schulenbergite/CuO and pure ktenasite samples reveal the formation of mixed grains with needle, sheets, cotton and wool shapes. The selected area electron diffraction images of the synthesized powders show strong dot-rings, indicating polycrystalline nature. Optically, all samples possess a high absorption ability for infrared-visible light wavelengths. At lower frequencies, the pellet of pure ktenasite sample exhibits giant dielectric constant characteristics. Exactly, pure ktenasite sample reveals a dielectric constant value of ~ 1.3 × 106 at frequency of 42 Hz. For schulenbergite/CuO (87/13%) sample, a large dielectric constant value of ~ 5311 was measured at frequency of 42 Hz. The colossal and variable relative permittivity values make the pure ktenasite [(Cu,Zn)5(SO4)2(OH)6·6H2O)] mineral is a suggested material for energy storage applications.

Published: May 2023

AbstractA wide range of studies was conducted to increase the heat transfer rate and reduce the size and cost of shell and tube heat exchangers (STHE). The paper’s contributions lie in its ability to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date, and systematic overview of the various methods available for heat transfer enhancement in STHEs, making it an essential resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the field of heat transfer. The studies that researched the overall heat transfer coefficient (U), number of transfer units, exergy efficiency, pressure drop, and thermal–hydraulic performance were reviewed. There are some advantages of the passive method such as no external needed power and lower operating cost compared to the active methods. The studies broadly support the view that heat transfer enhancement in STHE is heading toward considerable progress. A total of 47.8% of studies have focused on the passive approach, the air injection method, enhancing heat transfer utilizing nanofluids, and compound methods have percentages of studies 20.2, 22.3, and 9.7%, respectively. The air bubble injection causes the rise of the U ratio where the maximum value was indicated at 452% compared to only water flow. Swirl vane, corrugated tube, and wire coil insert have U ratio values of 130, 161, and 264%, respectively. Nanofluid results in a growth in the heat transfer where the TiO2 has the maximum U ratio (175.9%) compared to traditional fluid. The combination of air injection and passive heat augmentation methods, which was shown to be a substantial solution to several issues, needs to be the focus of more work in the future. Geometrical changes in tube surfaces in STHE are too required in the future with the use of materials coating to enhance heat transfer. The theoretical analysis of heat transfer techniques still needs to be improved, especially for pertinent empirical formulations. Also, since there aren’t many relevant numerical simulations, more attention is required.

Authors: Shafei Laila , Mekki Lina , Maklad Esraa , Alhathal Turfa , Ghanem Rawan , Almalouf Rama , Stewart Derek , Nazar Zachariah 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Background
Only 5–10% of all adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are reported. Mechanisms to support patient and public reporting offer numerous advantages to health care systems including increasing reporting rate. Theory-informed insights into the factors implicated in patient and public underreporting are likely to offer valuable opportunity for the development of effective reporting-interventions and optimization of existing systems.

Aim
To collate, summarize and synthesize the reported behavioral determinants using the theoretical domains framework (TDF), that influence patient and public reporting of ADRs.

Method
Cochrane, CINAHL, Web of science, EMBASE and PubMed were systematically searched on October 25th, 2021. Studies assessing the factors influencing public or patients reporting of ADRs were included. Full-text screening, data extraction and quality appraisal were performed independently by two authors. Extracted factors were mapped to TDF.

Results
26 studies were included conducted in 14 countries across five continents. Knowledge, social/professional role and identity, beliefs about consequences, and environmental context and resources, appeared to be the most significant TDF domains that influenced patient and public behaviors regarding ADR reporting.

Conclusion
Studies included in this review were deemed of low risk of bias and allowed for identification of key behavioural determinants, which may be mapped to evidence-based behavioral change strategies that facilitate intervention development to enhance rates of ADR reporting. Aligning strategies should focus on education, training and further involvement from regulatory bodies and government support to establish mechanisms, which facilitate feedback and follow-ups on submitted reports.

Authors: Costa Catarina , Abeijon Patricia , Rodrigues Daniela A. , Figueiras Adolfo , Herdeiro Maria Teresa , Torre Carla 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Background
Spontaneous reporting is the most used method to monitor post-marketing safety information. Although patient involvement in spontaneous reporting has increased overtime, little is known about factors associated with patients’ adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting.

Aim
To identify and assess the sociodemographic characteristics, attitudes and knowledge that influence spontaneous reporting and the reasons associated with ADR underreporting by patients.

Method
A systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. A search on the MEDLINE and EMBASE scientific databases was performed to retrieve studies published between 1 January 2006 and 1 November 2022. Studies were included if they addressed knowledge and attitudes associated with ADR underreporting.

Results
A total of 2512 citations were identified, of which 13 studies were included. Sociodemographic characteristics were frequently identified with ADR reporting in 6 studies, being age (3/13) and level of education (3/13) the most often reported. Older age groups (2/13) and individuals with higher level of education (3/13) were more likely to report ADRs. Underreporting was shown to be motivated by reasons related to knowledge, attitudes, and excuses. Ignorance (10/13), complacency (6/13), and lethargy (6/13) were the most frequent reasons for not reporting.

Conclusion
This study highlighted the scarcity of research conducted with the aim of assessing ADR underreporting by patients. Knowledge, attitudes, and excuses were commonly observed in the decision to report ADRs. These motives are characteristics that can be changed; hence strategies must be designed to raise awareness, continually educate, and empower this population to change the paradigm of underreporting.
Does the Empowering Function of the Belief in a Just World Generalise? Broad-base Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Evidence
Authors: Bartholomaeus Jonathan , Strelan Peter , Burns Nicholas 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe empowering function of the belief in a just world for the self (BJW-self) has been suggested as one mechanism by which BJW-self promotes positive psychological functioning for the individual. In this investigation we seek to understand if this empowerment function generalises to a broad range of positive and negative psychological variables and whether the function can be observed outside of tightly controlled experimental designs. We use a mix of cross-sectional and longitudinal designs (N = 840) to test these aspects of the empowerment function. In Sample 1 we find support for the positive indirect effect of BJW-self on life satisfaction, optimism, and resilience through empowerment. Similarly, BJW-self has a negative indirect effect on depression, anxiety, and stress through empowerment. These findings are broadly replicated in Sample 2. A subsample of Sample 1 completed measures again after one year (Subsample 3) allowing for a longitudinal test of the empowerment function. Findings provide mixed support for the empowering contribution of BJW-self to adaptive outcomes over time. Theoretical implications are discussed, as well as the important methodological and measurement issues that require attention for the individual differences study of BJW to progress effectively.

A new axiomatization of discounted expected utility
Authors: Neumann Berenice Anne , Rieger Marc Oliver 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWe present a new axiomatization of the classical discounted expected utility model, which is primarily used as a decision model for consumption streams under risk. This new axiomatization characterizes discounted expected utility as a model that satisfies natural extensions of standard axioms as in the one-period case and two additional axioms. The first axiom is a weak form of time separability. It only requires that the choice between certain constant consumption streams and lotteries should be made by just taking into account the time periods where the consumption is different. The second axiom, the time–probability equivalence, requires that risk and time preferences basically work in the same way. Moreover, we prove that preferences satisfying the natural extensions of the standard axioms as well as the first axiom can be represented in a simple form relying on three functions linked to the risk or time preferences in simple situations. Finally, we illustrate that several examples that are not fully time separable satisfy all our axioms except for the time–probability equivalence.

AbstractNanoscaled-VPO (vanadium phosphate oxide) catalysts have been prepared on an alumina support with the objective of obtaining crystallites of the active phase with a high surface-to-volume ratio. Since the catalysed reaction occurs at the surface, these nanoscaled catalysts allows studying surface species transformations with a minimized signal from the bulk dominion. The chemical environment and oxidation state of these species has been determined by a combination of NMR, ESR and XANES spectroscopies. The results have allowed to optimize V + P coverage and V/P molar ratio to minimize the concentration of isolated vanadium oxide species and maximize V4+ concentration. The distribution of phosphorus islands ordered and significantly distorted of tetra- and penta-coordinated aluminium sites of the catalytic support, thus shaping the catalytic material to an optimal structure for the desired partial oxidation reaction.
Carnivore coexistence in Chicago: niche partitioning of coyotes and red foxes

Published: May 2023

AbstractMesopredators including coyotes (Canis latrans) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) often co-occur in urban environments, but how niche partitioning facilitates their coexistence remains unclear. Highly urbanized areas can be spatial refuges for smaller mesopredators (i.e., spatial human shield effect), however these species also may coexist through temporal niche partitioning. We used camera traps (n= 110 sites) across an urbanization gradient in Chicago to examine coyote-fox interactions from 2011 to 2018. We analyzed spatial partitioning through multi-season occupancy models and structural equation modeling (SEM), and quantified temporal overlap between canids and with humans. Coyotes most often occurred in natural areas, and urbanization reduced their colonization rates and increased their extinction rates. Initial occupancy for red foxes was negatively impacted by urbanization, but their extinction rates depended on a surprising interaction between coyotes and humans. When coyotes were rare, fox extinction was related positively to human activity; but when coyotes were more common, fox extinction was related negatively to human activity. This outcome may reflect a human shield effect at a within-site scale. The SEM further supported the negative impact of urbanization on both canids, and lack of an effect of coyotes on the distribution of foxes. Diel activity of coyotes and red foxes indicated temporal niche partitioning intensified at more urbanized sites. Our results suggest the spatial human shield effect is not operating across sites in Chicago. Instead, coyotes and red foxes may share green spaces, especially in highly urbanized areas, where species coexistence is promoted by temporal niche partitioning.

AbstractThe textile industry is expanding globally and is considered the backbone of the world’s largest source of foreign exchange. The development of the textile industry has caused environmental contamination due to its dye waste, which is complex and very difficult to resolve with chemical and physical treatments. Azo dye is one of the most widely used dyes in textile and other industries. It is one of the significantly toxic dyes, and when released in water bodies, it causes a serious threat to the environment. A bacterial strain having the potential to degrade a variety of azo dyes such as Congo red (CR), methylene blue (MB), Alizarin Red S (AR), and Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) was isolated from soil samples in the wood weathering area and further identified and characterized. Ligninolytic microorganisms produce laccase enzymes, lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and other enzymes that can decolorize dye waste from the textile industry. The research phase was qualitative and quantitative tests of ligninolytic bacteria in the decolorization process using several selected synthetic dyes, antagonism tests, and identification of potential bacteria based on 16S rDNA gene sequences. The L11 isolate showed high performance on CR dye of 82.79%, L1 isolate on dye AR of 40.51%, L7 isolate on dye MB of 38.69%, and L8 isolate on RBBR dye of 30.34%. The L11 isolate with the highest potency was identified as Bacillus paramycoides K7.2 with a similarity of 99.71%. After 7 days of incubation, the quantitative test findings are the same as the qualitative test results, with isolate L11 having the largest clear zone on CR, AR, and RBBR dyes.

Abstract
During the establishment of neuronal circuits, axons and dendrites grow and branch to establish specific synaptic connections. This complex process is highly regulated by positive and negative extracellular cues guiding the axons and dendrites. Our group was pioneer in describing that one of these signals are the extracellular purines. We found that extracellular ATP, through its selective ionotropic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R), negatively regulates axonal growth and branching. Here, we evaluate if other purinergic compounds, such as the diadenosine pentaphosphate (Ap5A), may module the dynamics of dendritic or axonal growth and branching in cultured hippocampal neurons. Our results show that Ap5A negatively modulates the dendrite’s growth and number by inducing transient intracellular calcium increases in the dendrites’ growth cone. Interestingly, phenol red, commonly used as a pH indicator in culture media, also blocks the P2X1 receptors, avoided the negative modulation of Ap5A on dendrites. Subsequent pharmacological studies using a battery of selective P2X1R antagonists confirmed the involvement of this subunit. In agreement with pharmacological studies, P2X1R overexpression caused a similar reduction in dendritic length and number as that induced by Ap5A. This effect was reverted when neurons were co-transfected with the vector expressing the interference RNA for P2X1R. Despite small hairpin RNAs reverting the reduction in the number of dendrites caused by Ap5A, it did not avoid the dendritic length decrease induced by the polyphosphate, suggesting, therefore, the involvement of a heteromeric P2X receptor. Our results are indicating that Ap5A exerts a negative influence on dendritic growth.
