Distinguishing between research and monitoring programs in environmental science and management
Authors: Arciszewski T. J. , Roberts D. R. , Mahaffey A. , Hazewinkel R. R. O. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe terms “research” and “monitoring” are commonly used interchangeably to describe the data-gathering, information-generating, and knowledge-translating activities in environmental science and management. While research and monitoring share many attributes, such as the tools used, they may also differ in important ways, including the audience and their stability. In any environmental program, any potential differences between research and monitoring may be inconsequential, but distinguishing between these two activities, especially when both words are used casually, may be necessary to ensure the alignment between the tools and approaches and the expectations and goals of the program. Additionally, the importance of distinguishing between research and monitoring becomes greater when many participants from varying backgrounds with differing expectations are involved in the design, execution, and governance of the program. In this essay, we highlight differences between environmental research and monitoring, provide potential criteria to define them, and discuss how their activities interact and overlap. In our view, environmental monitoring programs are typically standardized and designed to address stakeholder concerns, to ensure activities comply with regulatory statutes or other known objectives. In contrast, environmental research may be esoteric, driven by a specific line of inquiry, and may lack a defined endpoint. Although potential difficulties with categorizing some programs or portions of combined programs will likely always remain, explicitly identifying the attributes of a program is necessary to achieve its objectives.
Polish Takeover Regulation: The Recent Chapter in the Long Story of Flawed Rules, Legislative Hesitation and Policy Mistakes
Authors: Regucki Tomasz 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis paper presents a critical examination of recent Polish takeover regulation from a perspective of evolution of capital market law in Poland. The study is based on both legal analysis and an empirical and statistical approach. Firstly, as a starting point, it briefly describes the mandatory bid rule and Takeover Bids Directive as well as the development of early Polish provisions. Secondly, the paper elaborates on the normative model of takeovers, which was in force until 2022. Using a case study and a comprehensive statistical examination of all mandatory bids carried out between 2008 and 2017, it shows how the unusual and incorrect legislative structure of two thresholds of control (33% and 66% of votes) allowed the actual circumvention of mandatory bids, to the detriment of minority shareholders. The paper also describes political considerations and political influences on the legislative process, which led to the failure of the 2014–2015 takeover law proposal. The core of the paper is devoted to the current takeover rules. Statistical research of ownership structures in Poland shows that the threshold of control set at 50% of votes is undoubtedly too high, which entails risks to investor protection that may arise from the adopted model. Based on research on significant holdings in Polish listed companies, the paper further elaborates on the notion of control over a public company and proposes a regulatory utility function to determine the desired threshold of control. This leads to the conclusion that the optimal regulatory threshold of control, given the characteristics of the Polish capital market, is 30% of votes.
Bridging the offline and online: 20 years of offline meeting data of the German-language Wikipedia
Authors: Schwitter Nicole 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWikipedia is one of the most visited websites worldwide. Thousands of volunteers are contributing to it daily, making it an example of how productive non-market collaboration on a very wide scale is not only viable but also sustainable. Wikipedia’s freely available data on the online actions conducted make it a popular source of data, particularly for computer scientists and computational social scientists. This data brief will present the dewiki meetupdataset which covers the offline component of the German-language version of the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia: informal offline gatherings between Wikipedia contributors. These gatherings are organised online and information about who is attending them, where they take place and what has happened at these meetings is shared publicly. The dewiki meetup dataset covers almost 20 years of offline activity of the German-language Wikipedia, containing 4418 meetups that have been organised with information on attendees, apologies, date and place of meeting, and minutes recorded. It is a valuable source of data for social science research: it captures the development of the offline network over time of one of the largest and most sustainable online public goods and communities. The data can easily be merged with online activity data on Wikipedia which allows us to bridge the gap between offline and online behaviour.

AbstractThe synthesis of trioxides offers unique properties for different applications due to the combination of multiple oxides; however, few studies have reported on the properties of these materials, especially in terms of their ability to create reactive oxygen species, which are helpful for antibacterial and antifungal activity. This study aimed to evaluate the surface properties of CuO-MgO-ZnO and CuO-Co3O4-CeO2 trioxides synthesized via precipitation assisted by an ultrasonic bath or sonication. The structural analysis indicated the formation of micrometric particles consisting of individual phases of each oxide, with no apparent influence of the preparation method on their morphology. UV–Vis spectroscopy revealed that CuO-MgO-ZnO particles have a band gap near 5.5 eV, while CuO-Co3O4-CeO2 has a single value at 4.2 eV. Zeta potential measurements indicated changes in the materials' outermost layer composition due to the synthesis method. Additionally, biological assays showed that the materials could completely inhibit the growth of Candida species and Staphylococcus aureus but not Klebsiella pneumoniae. These results suggest that the materials may be suitable for self-cleaning surfaces and medical device coatings.
The digital transition for a sustainable mobility regime? A long-run perspective
Authors: Hippe Ralph , Demailly Damien , Diebolt Claude 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWhile the newest Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as the internet, are in some ways unique, in other respects they have historical predecessors. For example, the experiences of the introduction of the telegraph and the telephone provide certain parallels with newer ICTs. Their history is full of promises – and sometimes fears, that did not materialize. New ICTs have often been praised to massively transform our economies, and to be the foundation of a new and more sustainable mobility regime. But will they? And if so, how could ICTs help building it? This paper reviews the literature on the connection between ICTs and mobility and shows that ‘older’ ICTs have transformed our mobility regime in significant and unpredictable ways. In particular, they have supported and made more efficient new transport modes. They also contributed to the geographical concentration and dispersion trends of economic activities and changed how and how much we connect to our families and friends. Thus, ICTs can help building a more sustainable mobility regime, for instance by making transport more efficient or reducing mobility demand. Overall, the interactions between mobility and ICTs turn out to be important, diverse and complex.
Economic evaluation of remote patient monitoring and organizational analysis according to patient involvement: a scoping review

Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background
A literature review concerning the economic evaluation of telemonitoring was requested by the authority in charge of health evaluation in France, in a context of deployment of remote patient monitoring and identification of its financing. Due to the heterogeneity of existing telemonitoring solutions, it was necessary to stratify the evaluation according to patient involvement. Three levels of patient involvement are considered: weak (automated monitoring), medium (monitoring supported by a professional), and strong (active remote participation).

Objectives
We performed a scoping review to provide a comprehensive overview of different systems of telemonitoring and their reported cost-effectiveness.

Methods
Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a search was performed in four databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library between January 1, 2013 and May 19, 2020. Remote patient monitoring should include the combination of three elements: a connected device, an organizational solution for data analysis and alert management, and a system allowing personalized interactions, and three degrees of involvement.

Results
We identified 61 eligible studies among the 489 records identified. Heart failure remains the pathology most represented in the studies selected (n = 24). The cost-utility analysis was chosen in a preponderant way (n = 41). Forty-four studies (72 percent) reported that the intervention was expected cost-effective. Heterogeneity has been observed in the remote monitoring solutions but all systems are reported cost-effective. The small number of long-term studies does not allow conclusions to be drawn on the transposability.

Conclusions
Remote patient monitoring is reported to be cost-effective whatever the system and patient involvement.
Assessment of suitable habitats using satellite imagery: example of the Northern Bald Ibis Geronticus eremita in south-eastern Turkey
Authors: Schenker Andre , Erhardt Andreas 
Published: September 2023

Summary
The increase in the semi-wild Northern Bald Ibis Geronticus eremita population in Birecik, south-eastern Turkey motivated the Working Group of the Agreement on the Conservation of Africa-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) to propose the establishment of a second semi-wild Northern Bald Ibis population in Turkey. This paper presents an assessment approach that identifies potential suitable breeding sites and foraging habitats within a large geographical area of approximately 380 × 60 km (23,000 km2) in south-eastern Turkey, which includes former breeding sites. This approach makes use of open-source and easily available geographical information. The structured approach is based on three key parameters, namely: (1) suitable breeding rocks; (2) suitable foraging habitats: (3) available water-bodies. This led to the identification of three potentially suitable areas around Derik and Yesilli in the Mardin province and around Yarbasi in the Sirnak province. The occurrence and spatial distribution of the three key parameters were mostly identified using Google Earth Pro 2021 within a radius of 10–20 km around the three sites. This procedure allowed an initial, cost-effective identification of potentially suitable areas, providing the basis for subsequent geographically focused comprehensive feasibility studies and on-the-ground risk assessment. However, geopolitical and pragmatic constraints may further affect and restrict a final selection of sites.
Generation Mechanism for Stratospheric Gravity Waves by Unbalanced Flow in Tropical Cyclones
Authors: Wang Xu , Zhang Lifeng , Wang Yuan , Guan Jiping , Zhang Yun 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe generation mechanism of stratospheric gravity waves (SGWs) in tropical cyclones (TCs) is investigated with an idealized experiment using numerical model. The results show that there are two peaks of SGW amplitude during the mature period of TC, one above the eyewall and the other above the rainband. The SGWs can only exist in unbalanced flow, so a simplified balance equation suitable for the special structure of the TC is proposed to investigate the SGWs. Diagnosis of this equation shows there is significant unbalanced flow around the eyewall and rainband caused by the convection and the vertical shear between outflow and compensating inflow. Diagnosis of the source function indicates that diabatic heating and mechanical oscillations are the main mechanisms generating the SGWs above the eyewall and rainband. The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability induced by vertical shear also makes a non‐negligible contribution to the generation of SGWs above the rainband.

AbstractAlteration minerals in one of the Martian meteorite nakhlites, Yamato (Y) 000802, were studied to understand the alteration process and conditions. Mn‐precipitates are discovered between altered plagioclase grains in Y 000802. Mn‐precipitates consist of hausmannite (), manganite (γ‐Mn3+OOH), rhodochrosite (Mn2+CO3), and a trace amount of Mn4+O2 mineral. Jarosite ) is also found. Mn2+ dissolved from olivine contributes to the formation of Mn‐precipitates. A weakly acidic‐neutral fluid containing a trace amount of altered the olivine, and Mn2+ was dissolved into the fluid. The fluid also reacted with plagioclase and probably induced dealkalization of plagioclase, causing a local strong alkaline environment. Plagioclase was altered to ferroan saponite‐nontronite + amorphous SiO2 under alkaline conditions. Simultaneously, Mn2+/3+‐precipitates were formed from the Mn2+‐containing fluid in the interstices between the altered plagioclase grains under the strong alkaline reducing environment. These alterations occurred in the deep part of the nakhlite body, where they are isolated from Martian subsurface water, including strong oxidants. The formation of Mn2+/3+‐precipitates may have been triggered by the melting of permafrost caused by an impact event around ∼633 Ma. Later, the nakhlite body was probably excavated by another impact, making it susceptible to water including strong oxidants. Pyrrhotite was dissolved and a highly acidic oxidizing fluid was formed, which would induce the formation of jarosite and the Mn4+O2 mineral between ∼633 Ma and ∼11 Ma.

AbstractUpfront autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is the standard of care for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients. However, relapse is ubiquitous and therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) post-ASCT are commonly associated with poor outcomes. We hypothesized that the enrichment of abnormal myeloid progenitors and immune effector cells (IEC) in the peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) is associated with a higher risk of relapse and/or development of t-MN. We performed a comprehensive myeloid and lymphoid immunophenotyping on PBSCs from 54 patients with MM who underwent ASCT. Median progression-free (PFS), myeloid neoplasm-free (MNFS), and overall survival (OS) from ASCT were 49.6 months (95% CI: 39.5-Not Reached), 59.7 months (95% CI: 55–74), and 75.6 months (95% CI: 62–105), respectively. Abnormal expression of CD7 and HLA-DR on the myeloid progenitor cells was associated with an inferior PFS, MNFS, and OS. Similarly, enrichment of terminally differentiated (CD27/CD28-, CD57/KLRG1+) and exhausted (TIGIT/PD-1+) T-cells, and inhibitory NK-T like (CD159a+/CD56+) T-cells was associated with inferior PFS, MNFS, and OS post-transplant. Our observation of abnormal myeloid and IEC phenotype being present even before ASCT and maintenance therapy suggests an early predisposition to t-MN and inferior outcomes for MM, and has the potential to guide sequencing of future treatment modalities.

Published: September 2023

AbstractSocial dominance and subordination have been linked to fronto-limbic and fronto-thalamic networks and are related to phenotypes such as grandiose vs. vulnerable narcissistic traits. The latter have been linked to clinical features such as empathy and emotional regulation. In this study we tested the hypotheses that narcissistic traits are associated with white matter integrity in fasciculus uncinate, cingulum, and anterior thalamic radiation (ATR). We applied the Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI) to assess narcissistic traits in a sample of 267 psychiatrically healthy individuals. We used 3 T MRI to acquire Diffusion Tensor Imaging data for analysis with TBSS in FSL applying TFCE to test for correlations of fractional anisotropy (FA) and PNI scales. We detected a significant positive correlation of PNI total and FA in the right posterior cingulum. PNI Vulnerability was significantly correlated with FA in the left anterior and right posterior cingulum. We did not find overall correlations with PNI Grandiosity, but additional analyses showed significant effects with FA of ATR. Our results strengthen network models for narcissism underlying both personality variation and pathology. Especially associations of narcissistic vulnerability within fronto-limbic tracts suggest overlaps within neural correlates of related phenotypes like neuroticism, social subordination, and negative emotionality.

AbstractPelagic predators are effective biological samplers of midtrophic taxa and are especially useful in deep-sea habitats where relatively mobile taxa frequently avoid observation with conventional methods. We examined specimens sampled from the stomachs of longnose lancetfish, Alepisaurus ferox, to describe the diets and foraging behaviors of three common, but poorly known deep-sea fishes: the hammerjaw (Omosudis lowii, n = 79, 0.3–92 g), juvenile common fangtooth (Anoplogaster cornuta, n = 91, 0.6–22 g), and juvenile Al. ferox (n = 138, 0.3–744 g). Diet overlap among the three species was high, with five shared prey families accounting for 63 ± 11% of the total prey mass per species. However, distinct differences in foraging strategies and prey sizes were evident. Resource partitioning was greatest between An. cornuta that specialized on small (mean = 0.13 ± 0.11 g), shallow-living hyperiid amphipods and O. lowii that specialized on large (mean = 0.97 ± 0.45 g), deep-dwelling hatchetfishes. Juvenile Al. ferox foraged on a high diversity of prey from both shallow and deep habitats. We describe the foraging ecologies of three midtrophic fish competitors and demonstrate the potential for biological samplers to improve our understanding of deep-sea food webs.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study provides comprehensive quantitative evidence suggesting that adaptations to extreme temperatures and pH imprint a discernible environmental component in the genomic signature of microbial extremophiles. Both supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms were used to analyze genomic signatures, each computed as the k-mer frequency vector of a 500 kbp DNA fragment arbitrarily selected to represent a genome. Computational experiments classified/clustered genomic signatures extracted from a curated dataset of $$\sim 700$$

Further, the strong dependence of the Fick diffusion coefficient on the molecular mass of the solute as well as the breakdown of the Stokes–Einstein relation near the Widom line are confirmed.

. Subsequently, this coefficient is used to determine the infinite dilution Fick diffusion coefficient of the mixture, based on the finding that these two diffusion coefficients exhibit a linear relationship, where the slope depends only on the molecular solute mass.
