Published: September 2023

AbstractLandslides are an example of severe natural disasters that occur worldwide and generate many harmful effects that can affect the stability and development of society. A better-quality susceptibility mapping technique for the landslide risk is crucial for mitigating landslides. However, the use of assemblages of multivariate statistical methods is still uncommon in Indonesia, particularly in the Kepahiang Regency of Bengkulu Province. Therefore, the objective of this study was to provide an improved framework for creating landslide susceptibility map (LSM) using multivariate statistical methods, i.e., the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method, the simple additive weighting (SAW) method and the frequency ratio (FR) method. In this study, we established a landslide inventory considering 15 causative factors using the area under the curve (AUC) validation method and another evaluation technique. The performance of each causative factor was evaluated using multicollinearity and Pearson correlation analysis with regression-based ranking. The LSM results showed that the most susceptible areas were located in the districts of Kabawetan, Kepahiang, and Tebat Karai. The high landslide risk in these areas could be attributed to the slope conditions in mountainous regions, which are characterized by high annual rainfall and seismic activity. The AUC training values of the AHP, SAW, and FR methods were 0.866, 0.838, and 0.812, respectively. Then, on the validation dataset, the AHP method yielded the highest AUC value (0.863), followed by the SAW (0.833) and FR (0.807) methods. Moreover, the AHP method provided a higher accuracy value, which suggests that the AHP method is more suitable than the other methods. Therefore, our research indicated that all algorithm methods generate a positive impact and greatly improve landslide susceptibility evaluation, especially for the preparation of landslide damage assessments in this study area. Finally, the method proposed in this study could improve the feasibility of LSM and provide support for Indonesian government decision-makers in arranging hazard mitigation measures in the Kepahiang Regency, Indonesia.
Analysis and Evaluation of Feature Selection and Feature Extraction Methods

Published: September 2023

AbstractHand gestures are widely used in human-to-human and human-to-machine communication. Therefore, hand gesture recognition is a topic of great interest. Hand gesture recognition is closely related to pattern recognition, where overfitting can occur when there are many predictors relative to the size of the training set. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the dimensionality of the feature vectors through feature selection techniques. In addition, the need for portability in hand gesture recognition systems limits the use of deep learning algorithms. In this sense, a study of feature selection and extraction methods is proposed for the use of traditional machine learning algorithms. The feature selection methods analyzed are: maximum relevance and minimum redundancy (MRMR), Sequential, neighbor component analysis without parameters (NCAsp), neighbor component analysis with parameters (NCAp), Relief-F, and decision tree (DT). We also analyze the behavior of feature selection methods using classification and recognition accuracy and processing time. Feature selection methods were fed through seventeen feature extraction functions, which return a score proportional to its importance. The functions are then ranked according to their scores and fed to machine learning algorithms such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Decision Tree (DT). This work demonstrates that all feature selection methods evaluated on ANN provide better accuracy. In addition, the combination and number of feature extraction functions influence the accuracy and processing time.
The Ten Commandments
Authors: Hogue Timothy S. 
Published: September 2023

The Decalogue, commonly known as the Ten Commandments, is usually analysed as a text. Within the Hebrew Bible, however, it is depicted as a monument– an artifact embedded in rituals that a community uses to define itself. Indeed, the phraseology, visual representations, and ritual practices of contemporary monuments used to describe the Ten Commandments imbue them with authority. In this volume, Timothy Hogue, presents a new translation, commentary, and literary analysis of the Decalogue through a comparative study of the commandments with inscribed monuments in the ancient Levant. Drawing on archaeological and art historical studies of monumentality, he grounds the Decalogue's composition and redaction in the material culture and political history of ancient Israel and ancient West Asia. Presenting a new inner-biblical reception history of the text, Hogue's book also provides a new model for dating biblical texts that is based on archaeological and historical evidence, rather than purely literary critical methods.

Abstract
Research on the gut microbiome and mental health among children and adolescents is growing. This umbrella review provides a high-level overview of current evidence syntheses to amalgamate current research and inform future directions. Searches were conducted across seven databases for peer-reviewed pediatric (<18 years) review literature. Studies reporting gut microbiome composition and/or biotic supplementation on depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were included. Deduplication and screening took place in Covidence. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the degree of primary study overlap. Among the 39 included review studies, 23 (59%) were observational and 16 (41%) were interventional. Most reviews (92%) focused on ASD. Over half (56%) of the observational and interventional reviews scored low or critically low for methodological quality. A higher abundance of Clostridium clusters and a lower abundance of Bifidobacterium were consistently observed in ASD studies. Biotic supplementation was associated with ASD symptom improvement. Gut microbiome-mental health evidence syntheses in child and youth depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and OCD are lacking. Preliminary evidence suggests an association between specific microbiota and ASD symptoms, with some evidence supporting a role for probiotic supplementation ASD therapy.
Where to start? Exploring how sustainable startups integrate sustainability impact assessment within their entrepreneurial process
Authors: Carle Alice , Rayna Thierry 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWhile startups are acknowledged for their potential to address sustainability issues, little is known on how to assess their impact, given the uncertainty they deal with and their lack of resources. This paper investigates the ones that are supposed to be ‘best-in-class’ in that matter, that is, startups targeting sustainability, in order to explore how they integrate sustainability impact assessment in their entrepreneurial process. We conducted a multiple case study of eight sustainable startups, based on a 2-year longitudinal research in their incubator to gather multiple sources of information. Our results revealed that the integration of the triple bottom line in the entrepreneurial process has a major effect on startups’ sustainability impact assessment practices. ‘Born-sustainable startups’, which have aimed for the triple bottom line since idea generation, have more robust tools and routines than ‘Transitioned sustainable startups’, which integrated the triple bottom line during prototype/validation.

ResumenEste trabajo busca conocer las estrategias tecnológicas, los rangos de acción y la conectividad en las estrategias humanas de ambientes marginales. Se discute, para el caso del sur de Mendoza, el modelo clásico de trashumancia cazadora recolectora entre tierras bajas y altas. El estudio se centra específicamente en El Payén y en el uso de la obsidiana andina Laguna del Maule. En El Payén, esta obsidiana ocupa el primer lugar entre las variedades conocidas y su uso se vinculó a circuitos de movilidad estacional que involucraban tierras bajas y altas. La obsidiana Laguna del Maule posee dos subtipos geoquímicos, el Subtipo 1 registrado en cordillera, y el Subtipo 2 localizado en depósitos fluviales distales. En este trabajo modelamos las estrategias de interacción de tierras altas con tierras bajas, enfocándonos en modelos propuestos para La Payunia, que ponen énfasis en la tecnología lítica y se articulan con análisis geoquímicos y geoarqueológicos. Los resultados sostienen que las poblaciones de El Payén obtenían este recurso mediante distintas estrategias tecnológicas: un aprovisionamiento serial del Subtipo 2, con circuitos de movilidad centrados en tierras bajas; diferente al Subtipo 1 de aprovisionamiento cíclico, que habría involucrado la interacción entre tierras altas y tierras bajas.

Published: September 2023

AbstractWe aimed to investigate the effectiveness of n-3 fatty acids supplementation on the risk of developing depression, depressive symptoms and remission of depression. We searched PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science from inception to December 2022 to find randomised trials of n-3 fatty acids supplementation in adults. We conducted random-effects meta-analyses to estimate standardised mean differences (SMD) and 95 % CI for continuous outcomes and risk difference and 95 % CI for binary outcomes. A total of sixty-seven trials were included. Each 1 g/d n-3 fatty acids supplementation significantly improved depressive symptoms in adults with and without depression (moderate-certainty evidence), with a larger improvement in patients with existing depression. Dose–response analyses indicated a U-shaped effect in patients with existing depression, with the greatest improvement at 1·5 g/d. The analysis showed that n-3 fatty acid supplementation significantly increased depression remission by 19 more per 100 in patients with depression (low-certainty evidence). Supplementation with n-3 fatty acids did not reduce the risk of developing depression among the general population, but it did improve the severity of depression among patients with existing depression.
The Anti-Father and His Silent Sons: Disability, Healing, and Critique in the Acts of John
Authors: Crabbe Kylie 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis article analyzes the second-century Acts of John 56–57, in which Antipatros seeks healing for his twin sons whom he claims he cannot support as he ages. I argue that this passage turns on a layered critique of Antipatros. First, the text censures medical commerce. Second, it uses his threat of murder, economic circumstances, and name to undermine Antipatros as both father and inquiring disciple. The episode thus leverages criticism of a character whose negative attitudes lead him to contemplate destruction of those with infirmities. However, it retains a mixed message: while the character of the apostle John comes to focus on the sons, the narrative silences them. Ultimately, the text emphasizes what the critique means for the flawed male, elite father, rather than the experience of the impaired sons. Such dynamics warrant close attention as we continue to expand our understanding of attitudes to disability in sources from antiquity.
Free Speech in the Civil War
Authors: BRETTLE ADRIAN 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDuring the Civil War, many Americans were prepared for censorship if free speech undermined preserving the Union. Journalists were unable to obtain timely accurate information on the military campaigns either for fear of helping the enemy or depressing morale at home. Self-censorship was far more important than official suppression of free speech, as spontaneous popular pressure curtailed freedom of expression at the beginning of the war and later on the army performed a similar function. For Federals, commitment to preserving the Union required treating Confederates as ubiquitous seditious conspirators. Combatting this internal enemy, in turn, especially in the Border States, required extensive suppression of free speech. Later in the conflict and right across the Union, the critical and urgent need to fill the ranks led to official censorship of any words that might discourage volunteering, and this conflicted with freedom of religion as well as speech and the press.

AbstractBackground:Children and young people with CHD benefit from regular physical activity. Parents are reported as facilitators and barriers to their children’s physical activity. The aim of this study was to explore parental factors, child factors, and their clinical experience on physical activity participation in young people with CHD.Methods:An online questionnaire was co-developed with parents (n = 3) who have children with CHD. The survey was then distributed in the United Kingdom by social media and CHD networks, between October 2021 and February 2022. Data were analysed using mixed methods.Results:Eighty-three parents/guardians responded (94% mothers). Young people with CHD were 7.3 ± 5.0 years old (range 0–20 years; 53% female) and 84% performed activity. Parental participation in activity (X2(1) = 6.9, P < 0.05) and perceiving activity as important for their child were positively associated with activity (Fisher’s Exact, P < 0.05). Some parents (∼15%) were unsure of the safety of activity, and most (∼70%) were unsure where to access further information about activity. Fifty-two parents (72%) had never received activity advice in clinic, and of the 20 who received advice, 10 said it was inconsistent. Qualitative analysis produced the theme “Knowledge is power and comfort.” Parents described not knowing what activity was appropriate or the impact of it on their child.Conclusion:Parental participation and attitudes towards activity potentially influence their child’s activity. A large proportion of young people performed activity despite a lack and inconsistency of activity advice offered by CHD clinics. Young people with CHD would benefit from activity advice with their families in clinics.

Published: September 2023

AbstractObjective:To examine parents’/caregivers’ willingness to participate and willingness to pay (WTP) for a cost-shared school food program (SFP) and its associated factors.Design:A quantitative survey design was used where WTP for a hypothetical SFP was elicited using a double-bounded dichotomous choice elicitation method. We used a double hurdle (logistic and truncated regression) model to examine WTP and positively or negatively associated factors.Setting:Saskatoon Public School Division elementary schools situated in high-, mid- or low-median-income neighbourhoods.Participants:Parents or caregivers of children attending grades 1 to grade 8 in the Saskatoon Public School Division elementary schools.Results:94 % respondents were willing to participate in a SFP while less than two-thirds of participants were willing to pay for such a program. Over 90 % respondents from all the socio-economic groups were willing to participate. Multiple household income earners, higher household income, higher number of children, household food security status and higher academic attainment of parents’/caregivers predicted greater willingness to pay. Mean willingness to pay was $4·68 (CAN), and households reporting moderate or severe food insecurity were likely to be willing to pay significantly less for a SFP.Conclusion:A cost-shared program might be financially sustainable in Canada if community characteristics such as household food insecurity status, economic participation of women and average household size are kept in mind while determining the price of the program.
Comment on “Seismic Velocity Variations at Different Depths Reveal the Dynamic Evolution Associated With the 2018 Kilauea Eruption” by Liu et al.
Authors: Wei XiaoZhuo , Shen Yang 
Published: September 2023

AbstractLiu et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GL093691) used Rayleigh waves extracted from the cross‐correlation of ambient noise recorded by two stations to monitor the seismic velocity variations associated with the 2018 Kı̄lauea eruption. However, their study ignored the fact that the tremors on the Island of Hawai'i were dominated by a source at the Kı̄lauea summit before the eruption. Close inspection of the waveforms of the station pair PAUD‐STCD shows a simple, mistakenly identified wave traveling direction in Liu et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GL093691). A correct wave traveling direction agrees with the noise source model, where the dominant tremor source should be at the Kı̄lauea summit. Because of the drastic change in the tremor source after the eruption, the cross‐correlation of the tremor records may reflect predominantly changes in the source rather than in the medium properties between the two stations.
TGE Electron Energy Spectra: Comment on “Radar Diagnosis of the Thundercloud Electron Accelerator” by E. Williams et al. (2022)

Published: September 2023

AbstractE. Williams et al. (2022, commented paper) questioned electron energy spectra derived from thunderstorm ground enhancements (TGEs) measured on Aragats; they concluded that “A more likely origin for any detected electrons at 3.2 km above sea level is Compton scattering and pair production activated by longer‐range bremsstrahlung gamma rays, themselves produced by runaway electron encounters with nuclei in the breakeven field at higher altitude.” In this comment, we show that the selection criteria of “electron” TGEs unambiguously reject the assumption of the origination of TGE electrons measured on Aragats from the Compton and pair production processes. Thus, the strong accelerating electric field above the earth's surface can be significantly lower (25–150 m) than derived in the commented paper 500 m altitude.
The Role of Stratified Turbulence in the Cold Summer Mesopause Region
Authors: Avsarkisov Victor , Conte J. Federico 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe summer mesopause at middle and high latitudes is the coldest place on Earth, and atmospheric gravity waves are responsible for the emergence of this extreme thermal phenomenon. Although the main physical mechanism behind the latter is understood, a deeper insight into it can be gained from the investigation of the mesoscale energy spectrum. In this work, we decompose the frequency spectra into divergent and rotational parts and find that their energy contributions are equipartitioned at high frequencies. This mesoscale energy equipartition is a feature of stratified turbulence and illustrates the complexity of the mesoscale dynamics in the summer mesopause region. We also analyze the power spectra of observed and simulated mesoscale zonal and meridional winds at middle latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere and show that stratified turbulence plays a role in the mesopause region during summer.
Melt Network Reorientation and Crystallographic Preferred Orientation Development in Sheared Partially Molten Rocks

Published: September 2023

AbstractWe investigated the co‐evolution of melt, shape, and crystallographic preferred orientations (MPOs, SPOs, and CPOs) in experimentally deformed partially molten rocks, from which we calculated the influence of MPO and CPO on seismic anisotropy. Olivine‐basalt aggregates containing 2 to 4 wt% melt were deformed in general shear at a temperature of 1,250°C under a confining pressure of 300 MPa at shear stresses of τ ≤ 175 MPa to shear strains of γ ≤ 2.3. Grain‐scale melt pockets developed a MPO parallel to the loading direction by γ < 0.4. At higher strains, the grain‐scale MPO remained parallel to the loading direction, while incipient sample‐scale melt bands formed at ∼20° to the grain‐scale MPO. An initial SPO and CPO were induced during sample preparation, with [100] and [001] axes girdled perpendicular to the long axis of the starting material. At the highest explored strain, a strong SPO was established subperpendicular to the loading direction, and the [100] axes of the CPO clustered nearly parallel to the shear plane. Our results demonstrate that grain‐scale and sample‐scale alignments of melt pockets are distinct. Furthermore, the melt and the solid microstructures evolve on different timescales: in planetary bodies, changes in the stress field will drive a relatively fast reorientation of the melt network and a relatively slow realignment of the crystallographic axes. Rapid changes to seismic anisotropy in a deforming partially molten aggregate are thus caused by MPO rather than CPO.

Published: September 2023

AbstractMarine heatwaves are known to have a detrimental impact on marine ecosystems, yet predicting when and where they will occur remains a challenge. Here, using a large ensemble of initialized predictions from an Earth System Model, we demonstrate skill in predictions of summer marine heatwaves over large marine ecosystems in the Arabian Sea seven months ahead. Retrospective forecasts of summer (June to August) marine heatwaves initialized in the preceding winter (November) outperform predictions based on observed frequencies. These predictions benefit from initialization during winters of medium to strong El Niño conditions, which have an impact on marine heatwave characteristics in the Arabian Sea. Our probabilistic predictions target spatial characteristics of marine heatwaves that are specifically useful for fisheries management, as we demonstrate using an example of Indian oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps).
