Published: January 2025

AbstractElectrochemical oxidation of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMFOR) to generate high‐value chemicals under mild conditions acts as an energy‐saving and sustainable strategy. However, it is still challenging to develop electrocatalysts with high efficiency and good durability. Here, nickel foam (NF) supported CoCrCe(7.5%)‐LDH (layered double hydroxides) by doping Ce into CoCr‐LDH show high 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) conversion (99%), 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) yield (99%), and Faraday efficiency (100%) at 1.4 VRHE. The CoCrCe(7.5%)‐LDH also exhibits remarkable stability with 97% conversion of HMF after 10 cycles. The X‐ray absorption near‐edge spectroscopy (XANES) and theoretical calculation show that Ce doping into CoCr‐LDH is beneficial to the formation of high‐valance Co and significantly facilitates the electron transfer, regulates the adsorption behavior of intermediates, reduces the Gibbs free energy barrier and accelerates the reaction rate. This work promotes the use of rare earth elements as electrocatalysts to promote the oxidation of HMF.

AbstractThis study aims to present a novel approach to assess the bond behavior of various types of FRP bars in concrete, based on an extensive dataset. The novelty of this research lies in evaluating both the bond strength and the critical slip, which forms the basis for creating a bond model between the bars and concrete. Furthermore, the model is constructed using advanced machine learning techniques, specifically gene‐expression programming (GEP), and its reliability is ensured by relying on a more extensive and diverse experimental dataset compared to previous studies. To train and validate the GEP model, data were collected from experiments involving 793 test specimens, categorized into five groups based on surface treatments: smooth (Sm), sand‐coated (SC), helically wrapped (HW), grooved (Gr), and a hybrid surface (Hbr) achieved by combining SC and HW. The model also considers a wide range of other parameters, including compressive strength of concrete and diameter, tensile strength, elastic modulus, and embedment length of FRP bars. The verification results using a separate testing dataset demonstrate that the proposed models accurately predict the bond strength and critical slip of FRP bars in concrete, achieving R2 values of 0.794 and 0.88, respectively. Comprehensive parametric analyses are performed to clarify the influence of key parameters on the bond and slip behavior of FRP bars in concrete. The analysis results confirm the critical role of the surface type and elastic modulus in enhancing bond strength; particularly, among the different surface treatment methods, the HW treatment exhibits the highest bond strength, followed by the HBr, Gr, and SC surface types.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe plant Polygonum capitatum (P. capitatum) contains a variety of flavonoids that are distributed differently among different parts. Nevertheless, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with this heterogeneous distribution have not been identified. In this study, combined with transcriptomic and metabonomic analysis, we identified significant DEGs related to variations in flavonoid composition among different parts of P. capitatum. Subsequently, transcriptomic and nontargeted metabolomic analyses revealed that flavonoids and phenolic acids in different parts of P. capitatum were significantly enriched in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, shikimic acid biosynthesis, and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways. The expression levels of genes encoding enzymes, including shikimate O‐hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (HCT), chalcone synthase (CHS), flavonoid 3′,5′‐hydroxylase (CYP75A), flavones 3‐hydroxylase (F3H), flavonol synthase (FLS), leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR), trans‐cinnamate 4‐monooxygenase (CYP73A), and shikimate kinase (SK), were found to be the lowest in the leaves of P. capitatum via quantitative PCR. Interestingly, these genes are involved in the biosynthesis of quality markers such as gallic acid, quercetin, and quercitrin in P. capitatum. Finally, the targeted metabolomic results reconfirmed that the gallic acid, quercetin, and quercitrin contents were the highest in the leaves of P. capitatum. This research provides a theoretical basis for further understanding the differential regulatory mechanism of flavonoid metabolism in different parts of P. capitatum, providing novel insights into the pharmacognostic basis of P. capitatum.
Unconventional Coastal Structures (Kemit Armor Layer)

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe growth of the marine sector induces substantial demand to develop new types of coastal structures that have minimal impact on neighboring ecosystems and reduce the environmental footprint. This study aims to introduce and check the efficiency of an innovative armor layer for coastal protection towards fostering sustainable coastal management practices. The proposed truncated cube (named Kemit) design incorporates features such as two hollow opposite elbows, half rings, and incomplete pyramidal shapes to enhance wave absorption and promote marine biodiversity. The proposed armor unit has been investigated physically in the wide wave flume of the Coastal Research Institute Egypt. The armor layer performance was introduced through wave reflection, wave dissipation coefficients, and wave overtopping. Six wave conditions (wave height and wave period) were performed to the armor layer in two states of submergence. A comparative analysis with traditional cube‐armored breakwaters under the same circumstances (wave height, wave period, and water depth) reveals superior performance of the proposed “Kemit” armor layer, exhibiting lower wave reflection coefficients (0.56 to 0.68) and lower overtopping, particularly evident in medium water depths. However, in case of lower water depth, the traditional cubes show better efficiency, lower reflection coefficient (0.46 to 0.68), and higher dissipation (0.74 to 0.89). Moreover, the proposed Kemit armor layer decreased the wave overtopping and run‐up over the breakwater cross‐section due to the Kemit steps and porosity. Furthermore, the adoption of innovative technologies can help policymakers increase the resilience of coastal infrastructure and ecosystems.
Rural schools and tech use for sustainability: the challenge of disconnection

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Tech use in teaching and learning has been considered as a contributory factor aiding academic success. Its lack in rural schools has also been considered as a hindrance to quality education. This study through a qualitative method explored the intersection of innovation and technology use as well as the challenges of disconnection. This was done using a selected rural school in KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. Data were collected from a case of a secondary school using observations, field notes and semi-structured interviews from a purposively selected sample of a principal, a head of department, six teachers and an administrative clerk. The collected data were coded, categorised and analysed thematically. The findings show among others that inequalities are due to infrastructure, socioeconomic status and location. The disparities influence how digital inequality is experienced, exposing barriers, and frustrations, through digital disconnection. The experience causes the teachers to utilise less of technology and make use of what they have. This study has shaped our discourse in digital technology theory and humanities about what technology is, what it is for, and what kind of justice we ought to seek from it.

Abstract
This qualitative study aimed to establish aspects of humanistic therapy that young people (13–16 years old) perceived as helpful and hindering, and to test a novel method for identifying perceived processes of change. A “medium q” thematic analysis was conducted followed by a coding-based “process of change analysis.” Participants were 50 young people in London schools who experienced moderate or severe emotional symptoms and had participated in up to 10 sessions of a school-based humanistic intervention. Participants were predominantly female and ethnically heterogeneous. Therapist qualities most often perceived as helpful were affiliative in nature. Unhelpful therapist activities were silences and a lack of input. Young people described feeling free to talk and open up. Helpful outcomes included feeling unburdened, gaining insight, and improving relationships. “Getting things off their chest,” “Advice and guidance,” “Modeling relationships,” and “insights to behavior change” were identified as specific processes of change in over 50% of young people. Approximately one-third felt hindered by a lack of therapist input, silences, or not feeling able to open up or trust. These findings indicate the potential value of an active, “process guiding” stance in humanistic therapy. Our process of change analysis has potential for identifying perceived change mechanisms in therapy.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Over the last few decades, machine learning (ML) applications have grown exponentially, yielding several benefits to society. However, these benefits are tempered with concerns of discriminatory behaviours exhibited by ML models. In this regard, fairness in machine learning has emerged as a priority research area. Consequently, several fairness metrics and algorithms have been developed to mitigate against discriminatory behaviours that ML models may possess. Yet still, very little attention has been paid to the problem of naturally occurring changes in data patterns (aka data distributional drift), and its impact on fairness algorithms and metrics. In this work, we study this problem comprehensively by analyzing 4 fairness-unaware baseline algorithms and 7 fairness-aware algorithms, carefully curated to cover the breadth of its typology, across 5 datasets including public and proprietary data, and evaluated them using 3 predictive performance and 10 fairness metrics. In doing so, we show that (1) data distributional drift is not a trivial occurrence, and in several cases can lead to serious deterioration of fairness in so-called fair models; (2) contrary to some existing literature, the size and direction of data distributional drift is not correlated to the resulting size and direction of unfairness; and (3) choice of, and training of fairness algorithms is impacted by the effect of data distributional drift which is largely ignored in the literature. Emanating from our findings, we synthesize several policy implications of data distributional drift on fairness algorithms that can be very relevant to stakeholders and practitioners.

Abstract

Objective
To compare operative and oncological outcomes, as well as the risk of postoperative complications in patients who underwent transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal tumours located either posteriorly or anterolaterally.

Methods
Retrospective, consecutive study including 451 patients who underwent transperitoneal RAPN for non-metastatic, localised renal tumours from May 2016 to April 2023. Operative data included duration of the procedure, warm ischaemia time, and blood loss; oncological data included surgical margins and recurrence; and 90-day postoperative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.

Results
In total, 140 (31%) patients had tumours with a posterior location. The median follow-up was 3.3 (IQR 1.8–5.0) years. There were no differences in operative outcomes or length of hospital stay between the two groups. Positive surgical margins were recorded in 9% of the patients with posterior tumours compared to 7% of patients with anterolateral tumours, p = 0.60. The estimated probability of recurrence-free survival at 5 years was 95.2% (95% CI 87.4–98.2) for patients with posterior tumours and 96.7% (95% CI 92.3–98.6) for patients with anterolateral tumours, p = 0.4. Patients with posterior tumours had a similar risk of any complication (OR 1.24 [95% CI 0.80–1.91]) and CD ≥ III (OR 0.73 [95% CI 0.28–1.67]) compared to patients with anterolateral tumours.

Conclusion
This study found that patients with posterior tumours had longer operating times and hospital stays following transperitoneal RAPN compared to those with anterolateral tumours but without increased complications or poorer oncological outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose
This preclinical study explored the feasibility of assessing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function in both brain and gastrointestinal (GI) tract of rats using positron emission tomography (PET) following oral administration of [18F]MC225. Different oral administration protocols were evaluated, and radioactivity uptake was compared with uptake following intravenous administration.

Procedures
Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into four groups and subjected to intravenous or oral [18F]MC225 administration protocols: G1 (intravenous route), G2 (oral administration without fasting), G3 (oral administration with fasting), and G4 (oral administration with fasting following administration of the P-gp inhibitor tariquidar). Dynamic brain imaging, late abdominal imaging, ex vivo biodistribution, and metabolite analysis were conducted to assess tracer distribution.

Results
In the brain, oral administration yielded lower values compared with intravenous administration, resulting in a reduction in the tissue-to-plasma ratio by approximately 51% for the cortex and 45% for the midbrain and cerebellum. Fasting improved radioactivity uptake, aiding brain visualization. Unexpectedly, administration of the P-gp inhibitor tariquidar did not increase brain concentration, suggesting a signal that was dominated by non-specific uptake, possibly due to instability of [18F]MC225 in the GI tract. Metabolite analysis in G4 indicated a significant presence of polar metabolites.

Conclusions
Oral administration of [18F]MC225 faces challenges and, at this stage, cannot be used to quantify P-gp function. Further research to assess tracer stability and metabolism in the stomach and intestine will be essential for advancing the feasibility of oral tracer administration.
Immobilisation of arsenic and simultaneous degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil in situ by modified electrooxidation

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Improper management of wood impregnation chemicals and treated wood has led to soil contamination at many wood treatment sites, particularly with toxic substances like creosote oil and chromated copper arsenate (CCA). The simultaneous presence of these pollutants complicates the choice of soil remediation technologies, especially if they are to be applied in situ. In this laboratory study, we attempted to immobilise arsenic (As) and simultaneously degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (constituents of creosote oil) by applying a modified electrochemical oxidation method. The supply of iron (Fe) amendments in contaminated soil was done using corroding Fe electrodes as an Fe source and applying an alternating polarity electrical current. Soil with a large fraction of organic matter (25%) and containing 505 mg kg−1 As and 5160 mg kg−1 16-PAHs was placed in Plexiglas cells equipped with porewater samplers and an iron electrode pair connected to a power supply unit. The porewater and percolating solution were periodically sampled and analysed over an 8-week period. The modified electrochemical soil treatment led to a decrease in the total concentration of 16-PAHs in soil by 56–68%. The amount of poorly crystalline Fe oxides in the soil substantially increased, especially close to the electrodes, enabling 76–89% of As to be bound to this most reactive Fe fraction. Nevertheless, over 10% of soil As remained in the most soluble and available fraction (exchangeable), most likely due to the decline in soil redox potential over time. This study suggests that electrochemical oxidation of organic soil with mixed contaminants could be used for in situ soil remediation but needs further improvement to achieve more efficient As immobilisation.

Big Brother is Listening: Adapting and Marketing Literary Classics in Audio Format—The Case of Storytel’s 1984
Authors: Linkis Sara Tanderup 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The recent popularity of audiobooks has led to new ways of using the format as publishers and producers reproduce and “reactualise” older works by adapting them into audio. The article examines this development, focusing on the case of Storytel’s 2022 audio adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 and the marketing campaign surrounding it, combining a publishing studies approach (Squires 2007; Murray 2018; Thompson 2021) with perspectives from materialist and sociological adaptation studies (Murray 2012) and audio narratology (Mildorf and Kinzel 2016; Bernaerts and Mildorf 2021). The article argues that the marketing campaign related to the 1984 production reflects the streaming service’s strategy of reviving the classic through sound. A paratextual analysis of the marketing material is combined with an analysis of the significance of sound and sound motifs in the adaptation and in the original novel. The article concludes that Storytel uses the audio format to reinterpret and highlight the relevance of the dystopic novel in 2022, while also using the classic to market Storytel as a streaming service in an Orwellian surveillance culture. By thus combining an interest in the textual and medial content of the work and the commercial and social contexts, the article demonstrates how developments in the audiobook industry impacts aesthetics as well as modes of producing, marketing and selling literature.
Foucault’s Social, Community, and Cultural Psychology
Authors: Joranger Line 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In today’s debate about a user oriented humanistic turn in the field of mental health care, the early Foucault is once again relevant. In his works from 1954 Foucault shows that the root of understanding mental phenomena is not to be found in universal medical concepts and methods, but in the reflection on lived experiences and in the human being itself. In accordance with contemporary social, community, and cultural psychologists, such as Brinkmann, Kinderman and Prilleltensky, Foucault is critical to the psychology’s medical foundations. Instead of focusing on medical and physiological matters he suggests that psychology, as a discipline, should be more user oriented, and focus more on the human being itself, and on social and cultural contexts.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Soilcrete is an innovative construction material made by combining naturally occurring earth materials with cement. It can be effectively used in areas where other construction materials are not readily available due to financial or environmental reasons since soilcrete is made from readily available natural clay. It can also help to cut down the greenhouse gas emissions from the construction industry by encouraging the use of resources that are locally available. Thus, it is imperative to reliably predict different properties of soilcrete since the accurate determination of these properties is crucial for the widespread use of soilcrete materials. However, the laboratory determination of these properties is subjected to significant time and resource constraints. As a result, this research was undertaken to provide empirical prediction models for the density, shrinkage, and strain of soilcrete mixes using two machine learning algorithms: Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB). The analysis revealed that XGB-based predictions correlated more with real-life values than GEP having training

$${\text{R}}^{2}=0.999$$

R

2

=
0.999

for both density and shrinkage prediction and

$${\text{R}}^{2}=0.944$$

R

=
0.944

for strain prediction. Moreover, several explanatory analyses including individual conditional expectation (ICE) analysis and shapely analysis were done on the XGB model which showed that water-to-binder ratio, metakaolin content, and modulus of elasticity are some of the most important variables for forecasting soilcrete materials properties. Furthermore, an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed for effective utilization in civil engineering industry to forecast these properties of soilcrete materials.
