Published: May 2023

AbstractDue to an ever‐increasing demographic pressure, coastal areas are hotspots of anthropogenic impact on marine ecosystems. Understanding the extent and nature of these impacts is critical for developing effective conservation and management strategies to protect and restore coastal marine ecosystems and the services they provide. The Gulf of Naples is a coastal embayment in the Tyrrhenian Sea, Western Mediterranean Sea, which is severely impacted by human activities. Here, we discuss the intertwining of anthropogenic pressures and climate variations in regulating phytoplankton biomass dynamics in the Gulf and the presence of possible long‐term changes. We analysed three decades of T‐S, nutrient, and chlorophyll a data collected at a fixed station, the LTER‐MC site. Despite some spikes in nutrient concentrations (up to 9.92 mmol m−3 for NO3−, 13.12 mmol m−3 for NH4+, 0.75 mmol m−3 for PO43−, and 13.59 mmol m−3 for Si(OH)4), median surface and depth‐integrated concentrations are relatively low (0.73 mmol m−3 and 0.45 mmol m−3 for NO3−, 0.73 mmol m−3 and 0.47 mmol m−3 for NH4+, 0.07 mmol m−3 and 0.04 mmol m−3 for PO43−, 1.61 mmol m−3 and 1.44 mmol m−3 for Si(OH)4, respectively). Chlorophyll a concentrations, here taken as a proxy of phytoplankton biomass, occasionally display high values (up to 17.33 mg m−3) and fluctuating highs and lows lasting several months, with an overall median value of 1.37 mg m−3 at the surface, and 0.55 mg m−3 as integrated mean. These values are nine and three times higher than the offshore concentrations. The plankton food web at the site is mostly driven by terrestrial inputs. The effect of large‐scale–long‐term trends in nutrient inputs (e.g., phosphate load reduction) is comparable to that of local drivers, also because of the relatively shallow depth (75 m) of the station and its vicinity to the coastline. Importantly, the physical dynamics, despite the more closed morphology of the Gulf with respect to other bays in the Tyrrhenian Sea, efficiently removes excess nutrients and biomass, preventing dystrophic phenomena.
Client States: Australia's Offshore Detainees and the Limits of Therapy
Authors: Neiman Aaron 
Published: May 2023

AbstractMental health has become an exceptionally important social and public health issue in Australia. The government has invested billions of dollars in new services, while ubiquitous ad campaigns call on ordinary people to tend to their psychological well‐being. This national valorization of mental health is striking, given the well‐documented psychiatric harm suffered by refugees under Australia's offshore detention regime. This article draws on ethnographic work with a group of volunteer therapists who provide crisis counseling to these detained refugees over WhatsApp, allowing them to intervene in scenarios where therapy is inaccessible but badly needed. Highlighting the predictable challenges and surprising affordances of delivering care in this restrictive and high‐stakes context, I show how my informants forge a genuine therapeutic connection with their clients. While this intervention is meaningful, I argue that the volunteers are aware that it is no substitute for winning political freedom.
Intraoperative management of pediatric renal transplant recipients: An opportunity for improvement
Authors: Baboolal Hemanth A. , Lane Joelle , Westreich Katie D. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundOptimal organ perfusion at the time of pediatric renal transplantation is a commonly agreed upon goal. Intraoperative conditions such as fluid balance and arterial pressure determine the success of this goal. Sparse literature guides the anesthesiologist in accomplishing this. We, therefore, hypothesized that significant variability exists in the methods used to optimize renal perfusion during transplantation.MethodsA literature search was performed to assess what guidelines currently exist to optimize intraoperative renal perfusion. The intraoperative practice pathways of six large children's hospitals in North America were obtained to compare suggested guidelines. A retrospective chart review of anesthesia records was performed of all pediatric renal transplants over 7 years at the University of North Carolina.ResultsThere did not appear to be agreement between the various publications in terms of standard intraoperative monitoring, specific blood pressure or central venous pressure goals, and fluid management. The practice pathways of six children's hospitals showed significant variation and lack of a consensus‐driven approach. The chart review demonstrated significant variation between anesthesiologists in terms of invasive monitoring, fluid management, hemodynamic goals, vasopressor use, and analgesic choices. However, children <30 kg were significantly more likely to have arterial lines and epidural catheters placed prior to surgery.ConclusionSignificant variation exists across centers of expertise and even within centers of expertise with regard to the intraoperative management of pediatric kidney transplant recipients. In the era of enhanced recovery after surgery, this presents an opportunity to develop consensus on an evidence‐based approach to optimize initial organ perfusion during surgery.
The strongman presidency and the two logics of presidential power
Authors: Howell William G. , Moe Terry M. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe strongman presidency presents an acute threat to democracy. Two logics underpin its emergence, both of which implicate the administrative state. Under the first, presidents have sought to deploy the vast resources of the administrative state in pursuit of power and legacy. This logic is symmetric, shaping the behavior of Republican and Democratic presidents alike. The second logic, however, sets them apart. Because most of the administrative state is the embodiment of progressive values, Democratic presidents have approached presidential power in ways that are largely compatible with its well‐being, whereas Republican presidents have laid claim to increasingly extreme powers in order to retrench and sabotage it. Layered on the first, this asymmetric logic is the main driver of the strongman presidency—and, ultimately, a major threat to American democracy.
Using data envelopment analysis to measure and improve organizational performance
Authors: Sexton Thomas R. , Pitocco Christine , Lewis Herbert F. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractOrganizations are complex and have many goals while almost all analytical tools measure performance using only one goal. Thus, analysts often rely on multiple analytical tools to produce a bewildering array of performance measures that often lack internal consistency and a clear focus. In this article, we show how data envelopment analysis (DEA) builds a performance frontier (analogous to a production frontier) that measures organizational performance in the presence of multiple organizational measures. The DEA frontier produces target values for each organizational measure based on the observed performance of organizations in the comparison set. In addition, DEA provides factor performance levels for each performance measure for each organization and can detect circumstances in which an organization has a strong overall performance measure but still has weaknesses in one or more measures. We will illustrate this approach with applications to several examples using real data. Analyzing organizational performance data is critical in the organizational improvement process. The data must directly reflect the organization's goals and the analytical tools used must be appropriate. However, organizations are complex and have many goals while univariate analytical tools measure performance relative to only one goal. Thus, analysts often rely on multiple analytical tools to produce a collection of performance measures, sometimes resulting in a bewildering array of measures that lack focus.

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the effect of microfluidic sperm sorting chip on embryo development and quality in the sperm treatment step in in vitro embryo production in cattle. Only A‐quality oocytes obtained from the ovaries of Holstein cattle were included in the study. These oocytes were first placed in in vitro maturation medium, and matured oocytes were randomly divided into two groups at the 24th hour of maturation. Oocytes in the first group with the Microfluidic Sperm Sorting Chip (MFSC, n = 154) were put into a fertilization medium with spermatozoa prepared with microfluidic sperm sorting device. Oocytes in the second group (Con, n = 169) were fertilized with spermatozoa prepared by the routine sperm treatment step of the commercial company. The rate of cleavage (85.71% vs. 76.33%, respectively) and of reaching the blastocyst (44.15% vs. 32.54%, respectively) in the MFSC group were higher than the control group. In addition, it was determined that the numbers of ICM (45.8 ± 2.04 vs. 39.2 ± 1.85, respectively), TE (122.13 ± 2.19 vs. 115.0 ± 2.61, respectively), TC (167.93 ± 2.89 vs. 154.2 ± 2.62, respectively) increased in the MFSC group compared to the control group. A statistically significant difference was found in the number of cells with apoptosis per embryo (5.14 ± 0.77 vs. 11.91 ± 0.79) and apoptotic index rates (3.06 ± 0.47 vs. 7.72 ± 0.55%) of the MFSC and Con groups. As a result, we concluded that using microfluidic sperm sorting chips during sperm treatment in bovine IVEP increases the rate of reaching the blastocyst, embryo development, and quality and reduces the possibility of apoptosis in developing blastocysts. For this reason, it is also thought that the use of microfluidic sperm sorting devices during sperm treatment in bovine IVEP may be a new alternative in this field.
Towards a Different Mode of Abstraction: The Diorama in Hägerstrand's Experimentation in Thought
Authors: Schwanen Tim 
Published: May 2023

AbstractTorsten Hägerstrand's career can be understood as a protracted experiment in thinking creatively about space and human–environment interactions. He continually sought to abstract – select, simplify and exclude – from the complexity of spatiotemporal processes in ways that differed from customs at a given point in time. This article argues that Hägerstrand's Diorama, Path and Project, one of TESG's most influential papers published in 1982, elaborated the diorama in English as a conceptual device to enact a different mode of abstraction in geography and interdisciplinary research. An undervalued conceptual device with which Hägerstrand was never entirely comfortable himself, the diorama is still worth engaging with at the current time of climate emergency.

El Derecho a La Educación Inclusiva en México
Authors: Sebastián-Herdero Eladio , Cruz-Vadillo Rodolfo 
Published: May 2023

Este trabajo tiene como propósito aproximarse a las formas en que la inclusión educativa, desde una perspectiva de derecho, se ha traducido en discursos jurídicos y en ciertas visiones y representaciones que han devenido en el tiempo y que, hoy por hoy, circulan en los espacios donde se pretenden emplazar procesos inclusivos desde el modelo de los derechos humanos. Hemos partido del supuesto que la comprensión del derecho a la educación inclusiva en México no puede darse solo por la cantidad de personas que están hoy en las aulas, tampoco por las perspectivas y visiones que pueden ser recuperadas y que sirven de fundamento para el acto educativo. Las políticas educativas inclusivas han avanzado; sin embargo, podemos observar a partir de lo analizado, que en materia de derechos humanos, en general, y el derecho a una educación inclusiva, en lo particular, es necesario tensionar no solo las condiciones materiales y reales de existencia que presencian determinados sujetos y colectivos. Parece evidente volver a los fundamentos y, con ello, al elemento simbólico- representacional que, contrastado con el espacio geográfico y las prácticas sociales, impide o permite su emplazamiento, crecimiento y desarrollo.

A Universal Quadrilateral Shell Element for the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation
Authors: Zhang Binghua , Fan Wei , Ren Hui 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
A simple quadrilateral shell element is proposed in this work to study large deformations and large rotations of membrane/plate/shell structures. There are three merit characters in this element: locking-free; immune to mesh distortions; and robust to surface tessellations. Numerical issues in plates/shell elements such as shear-locking and thickness-locking problems are resolved, and quadrilateral area coordinates are adopted to solve the mesh distortion issues. This element can be adopted to curved shell structures, and warped deformations can be well described. Moreover, even if a shell structure cannot be easily tessellated by high quality quadrilateral polygons, it can still be discretized by a mesh consisting of high-quality triangular and quadrilateral elements, then this element can work together with a corresponding triangular element to provide accurate results on this combined mesh, and the degree-of-freedom for the discretized system is no more than several times of the number of nodes. Numerical tests validate the effectiveness, efficiency, and universality of this element in engineering scenarios.
Small Modular Reactors: Opportunities and Challenges as Emerging Nuclear Technologies for Power Production
Authors: Ghimire Lekhnath , Waller Edward 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Small modular reactors (SMRs) have gained international attention due to their modular design, small footprint, and cost advantages compared to conventional reactors. Multiple types of SMRs are under development globally, and regulatory agencies are working toward a comprehensive and harmonized regulatory framework for ensuring safety and environmental protection. However, several aspects related to SMRs require further investigation, including the behavior of nuclear fuel under high pressures and temperatures (1000 °C), radiation exposure levels during normal and accident conditions, management of different types and volumes of nuclear waste, and their safe storage and disposal. Additionally, the modular design and compact size of SMRs make them suitable for deployment in remote locations, including the Arctic region. However, before introducing SMR technology, a thorough study of Arctic soil is necessary, particularly in the context of changing climate. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) plays a vital role in evaluating the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants, specifically focusing on assessing cross-unit interactions in the case of multimodule SMRs. Furthermore, given the use of low-enriched uranium fuel and the potential for limited on-site personnel in remote locations, effective nuclear safeguards and material accountancy measures are crucial to prevent the diversion of nuclear materials. In this paper, an investigation is conducted to explore the advantages and challenges involved in the deployment of emerging SMR technologies for electricity generation and other applications.
Electron Correlation Effects in Paramagnetic Cobalt
Authors: Belozerov A. S. , Anisimov V. I. 
Published: May 2023

We study the influence of Coulomb correlations on spectral and magnetic properties of fcc cobalt using a combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory. The computed uniform and local magnetic susceptibilities obey the Curie–Weiss law, which, as we demonstrate, occurs due to the partial formation of local magnetic moments. We find that the lifetime of these moments in cobalt is significantly less than in bcc iron, suggesting a more itinerant magnetism in cobalt. In contrast to the bcc iron, the obtained electron self-energies exhibit a quasiparticle shape with the quasiparticle mass enhancement factor m*/m ~ 1.8, corresponding to moderately correlated metal. Finally, our calculations reveal that the static magnetic susceptibility of cobalt is dominated by ferromagnetic correlations, as evidenced by its momentum dependence.

Published: May 2023

Recent research works on ultra cold quantum gases demonstrated that dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) exhibit rich spatiotemporal dynamic where both local and nonlocal interactions are considered. We explore theoretically the possibility of controlling the formation and dynamics of soliton molecules in binary dipolar condensates with spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We exploit the variational technique to derive the new equations of motion for the widths and amplitudes, the effective potential and the oscillation frequency of the molecules. Our study confirms the existence of stable localized bound states in an optical potential. We find that the integrity of the molecules is influenced by the physical parameters, notably the local and nonlocal interactions with the SOC. These parameters are carefully chosen by the Vakhitov–Kolokolov (VK) criterion to ensure the stability of the molecules. We present the results of numerical experiments and confirm the analytical predictions. Moreover, we show the soliton–soliton interaction in each molecule when the local interactions are strong.
