AbstractSoybean thrips, Neohyadatothrips variabilis (Beach), a vector of Soybean Vein Necrosis Virus (SVNV), has been recognized as a widespread pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in USA and Canada. Several experiments investigated the effect on soybean when infested with soybean thrips with and without SVNV. Experiment 1 compared soybean infested at V1 and V5 growth stages (GS) with soybean thrips without SVNV and noninfested plants. For plants infested at GS V1, plant height, number of seeds, and seed weights were reduced by 50, 80, and 75%, respectively. When plants were infested at GSs V1 and V5, the counts of soybean thrips peaked at 1,803 and 4,214 per plant 4 weeks after infestation (WAI), respectively. Experiment 2 used SVNV-infected soybean thrips and compared soybean infested versus control at GS V1 and V5. For plants infested at GS V1, plant height was reduced 77.8%, and plants died before setting pods. For plants infested at GS V5, height, number of seeds, and seed weights were reduced 56, 78, and 92%, respectively. When plants were infested at GSs V1 and V5, the counts of soybean thrips peaked at 282 and 883 per plant 2 WAI, respectively. Experiment 3, five soybean genotypes were infested with SVNV-infected thrips at GS V1. Number and weight of seeds per plant were higher and with lower visual disease ratings (progressive chlorosis, necrosis and rugosity) for the more resistant genotypes Merschman Kennedy and plant introduction (PI) 171451 than for the more susceptible genotypes: soybean breeding line LD12-12734a (Rag1/2), cv Williamsfield Illini 3509N, and PI 417136.

Published: March 2023

AbstractIn the study of plastic flow and mechanical features of zinc subjected to severe plastic deformation at low temperature through the KOBO extrusion method, three techniques of micro and nanostructure identification have been used (TEM, STEM, HAADF). It was shown that the pattern of long trails—a typical element of microstructure after the KOBO deformation, results from strain fields of densely spaced nano-dimensional clusters of point defects—SIA clusters. The presence of satellite spots on the diffraction pattern was explained by a periodic arrangement of clusters which takes the form of a modulated lattice with a nano-sized wavelength.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Zeolite is an aluminosilicate compound having a wide spectrum of applications in medicine and dentistry. Several articles were published combining zeolites with various other elements for different applications in dentistry. This review aims to provide a detailed review on the origin of zeolites, their physical and chemical properties and possible applications as dental materials.

Recent Findings
Zeolite-based hybrid films can be used for detection of oral cancers. Silver zeolite can be added in restorative materials and dental liners. In cases of root canal irrigation, chlorhexidine zeolite is used owing to its antibacterial properties. For dental implants, a zeolite coating can improve the osseointegration.

Summary
Due to its microporous structure, application-driven zeolitic frameworks can be prepared by sieving in various cations and antibacterial compounds. This review helps improve our understanding regarding the uses of zeolites as a material in different aspects of dentistry along with possible further improvements as a dental material.
Two-Speed Deep-Learning Ensemble for Classification of Incremental Land-Cover Satellite Image Patches

Published: March 2023

AbstractHigh-velocity data streams present a challenge to deep learning-based computer vision models due to the resources needed to retrain for new incremental data. This study presents a novel staggered training approach using an ensemble model comprising the following: (i) a resource-intensive high-accuracy vision transformer; and (ii) a fast training, but less accurate, low parameter-count convolutional neural network. The vision transformer provides a scalable and accurate base model. A convolutional neural network (CNN) quickly incorporates new data into the ensemble model. Incremental data are simulated by dividing the very large So2Sat LCZ42 satellite image dataset into four intervals. The CNN is trained every interval and the vision transformer trained every half interval. We call this combination of a complementary ensemble with staggered training a “two-speed” network. The novelty of this approach is in the use of a staggered training schedule that allows the ensemble model to efficiently incorporate new data by retraining the high-speed CNN in advance of the resource-intensive vision transformer, thereby allowing for stable continuous improvement of the ensemble. Additionally, the ensemble models for each data increment out-perform each of the component models, with best accuracy of 65% against a holdout test partition of the RGB version of the So2Sat dataset.
Identification of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) protein partners using tandem affinity purification and mass spectrometry

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
According to the World Health Organization Report, depressive disorders affect about 10% of the population. The molecular mechanism of the pathogenesis of depression is still not well understood. The new findings point to phosphatases as potential targets for effective depression therapy. The aim of the present work was the development of a method that would enable the identification of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) protein partners using a proteomic approach.

Methods
The research was carried out using the PC12 cell line, often used as a model for neurobiological research. The use of the procedure for efficient purification of protein complexes—tandem affinity purification (TAP) will facilitate the identification of proteins interacting with MKP-1, a potential goal of effective antidepressant therapy.

Results
Identified proteins belong to various groups: cytoskeletal, ribosomal, nucleic acid binding, chaperones, and enzymes and may potentially be involved in the molecular mechanism of depression.

Conclusions
The presented protocol for the purification of protein complexes is universal and can be successfully used in different mammalian cell lines. Proteins identified in the present work have been reported in the literature concerning studies on depressive disorders, which speaks in favour of their role in depression.
Closing Plenary: International Law Needs People: Humanitarian arms control and the peace movement

Published: March 2023

On the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances (Budapest Memorandum), we face a game-changing, challenging moment right now with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which extends beyond the nuclear area. The invasion is, in my view, a challenge to the UN Charter and the entire post-World War system of international law. With respect to the Budapest Memorandum, that is obviously a very topical issue at the moment. I would like to first emphasize the context. The Memorandum was first negotiated in 1994, three years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, during a period that was not quite as settled as we have now. The Memorandum was part of the context in which Ukraine became a non-nuclear party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the undertakings there are serious. The undertakings in the Budapest Memorandum are reaffirmations of the still binding commitments to international law under the UN Charter. Therefore, the non-use of force—the prohibition on the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or independence of Ukraine—is reaffirmed in the Budapest Memorandum, but that is contingent on the UN Charter. The Memorandum consequently remains binding on Russia. Similarly, principles in the Helsinki Final Accords are reaffirmed in the Budapest Memorandum and Russia is violating those, including Ukraine's right to choose its own destiny and choose its own alliances. So, yes, Russia's aggression against Ukraine is a blow against the structure of international security that was created in the wake of the Cold War.
Business power against redistribution: The case of watered-down tax reform in Poland

Published: March 2023

AbstractIn 2021 the ruling party in Poland proposed a reform to reverse the regressivity of the Polish tax system. Although the number of potential beneficiaries significantly exceeded the number of sufferers, the media coverage of the reform was strongly negative. This pushed the government to introduce reform adjustments, all of which benefited the high-income self-employed, increasing the cost of the reform and reducing its redistributive effect. To explain this, we analyze articles on the reform published in the three most opinion-forming newspapers. We demonstrate that the negative media coverage stemmed from successful incorporation of business narratives in the public debate by the business lobbying associations. It was supported by the weakness of workers’ organizations and a low level of citizens’ trust in government.
Correlates of deforestation in Turkey: evidence from high-resolution satellite data
Authors: Adiguzel Fatih Serkant 
Published: March 2023

AbstractDuring the last decade, environmental issues have gained saliency in Turkish politics, especially after the 2013 Gezi Park demonstrations. This article is on the relationship between politics and deforestation in Turkey. It combines possible major drivers—political, economic, and climatic—of deforestation in Turkey with high-resolution satellite data on deforestation to conduct a systemic empirical analysis. The results show that districts in which Justice and Development Party mayors are in power have higher deforestation. The effect is around an average combined area of forty-two football fields in a given district. The article also shows that increased mining activities and newly built hydropower plants positively correlate with deforestation.
Bayesian evidence-driven likelihood selection for sky-averaged 21-cm signal extraction
Authors: Scheutwinkel K. H. , Handley W. , de Lera Acedo E. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe demonstrate that the Bayesian evidence can be used to find a good approximation of the ground truth likelihood function of a dataset, a goal of the likelihood-free inference (LFI) paradigm. As a concrete example, we use forward modelled sky-averaged 21-cm signal antenna temperature datasets where we artificially inject noise structures of various physically motivated forms. We find that the Gaussian likelihood performs poorly when the noise distribution deviates from the Gaussian case, for example, heteroscedastic radiometric or heavy-tailed noise. For these non-Gaussian noise structures, we show that the generalised normal likelihood is on a similar Bayesian evidence scale with comparable sky-averaged 21-cm signal recovery as the ground truth likelihood function of our injected noise. We therefore propose the generalised normal likelihood function as a good approximation of the true likelihood function if the noise structure is a priori unknown.
NEW FRAGMENTS OF RUFUS OF EPHESUS’ON THE RETENTION OF MENSES
Authors: Arehart Brent , Bocher Joshua 
Published: March 2023

AbstractRufus of Ephesus (fl. c.100c.e.) was a prolific medical author and practitioner in the Imperial period whose historical importance has been obscured by the loss of most of his works. One of the largest gaps in our knowledge of Rufus’ corpus is his gynaecological writings, none of which survives in full. This article assembles and comments on several fragments from Rufus’ lost gynaecological workOn the Retention of Menses(perhapsΠερὶ τῶν ἐπεχομένων ἐμμήνων). Comparison of overlapping passages from the authors Ibn al-Jazzār (tenth century) and Aëtius of Amida (sixth century) reveals that more fragments of this work in Arabic and Greek have survived than previously thought. These fragments provide new evidence for the analysis of Rufus’ medical thought, and further our understanding of gynaecology in the Roman empire.
Death by Analogy: Identity Crises on a Roman Sarcophagus
Authors: Clifford Emily 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis article examines how images on a sarcophagus involved Roman viewers in processes of thinking by analogy and so invited them to engage in meditation on death. This more thanatological slant is sidelined in current approaches that emphasise how exemplary figures on sarcophagi consoled the bereaved and praised the dead. Building on these approaches, together with work on the mediating role played by artefacts in thought, this article proposes that analogies on sarcophagi also invited the living to think about their own death and the possibilities and limitations of analogy for thanatological reflection. It argues, further, that sarcophagi should be read more expansively, allowing for figures and scenes to have more than one identity rather than collapsing them into one: this multiplicity reinforces meditation on death. The article focuses on Roman sarcophagi that feature Adonis, with emphasis on the Rinuccini sarcophagus; this unusual sarcophagus explicitly juxtaposes real-life and mythological scenes.
J.S. Mill and market harms: a response to Endörfer
Authors: Saunders Ben 
Published: March 2023

AbstractEndörfer has recently argued that proponents of the harm principle are wrong to exempt market harms as potential justifications for state interference. I argue that – contrary to suggestions in Endörfer’s article – John Stuart Mill did not exempt market harms from his harm principle. On Mill’s view, the state can (as a matter of principle) legitimately interfere with free markets to prevent market harms where they occur but, on the whole, it is better policy not to interfere. Mill’s general preference for free trade rests on utilitarian considerations and not on his harm principle, which does not exclude market harms.
Local Yoneda completions of quasi-metric spaces
Authors: Lu Jing , Zhao Bin 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we study quasi-metric spaces using domain theory. Given a quasi-metric space (X,d), we use
$({\bf B}(X,d),\leq^{d^{+}}\!)$
to denote the poset of formal balls of the associated quasi-metric space (X,d). We introduce the notion of local Yoneda-complete quasi-metric spaces in terms of domain-theoretic properties of
$({\bf B}(X,d),\leq^{d^{+}}\!)$
. The manner in which this definition is obtained is inspired by Romaguera–Valero theorem and Kostanek–Waszkiewicz theorem. Furthermore, we obtain characterizations of local Yoneda-complete quasi-metric spaces via local nets in quasi-metric spaces. More precisely, we prove that a quasi-metric space is local Yoneda-complete if and only if every local net has a d-limit. Finally, we prove that every quasi-metric space has a local Yoneda completion.

AbstractObjectivesThis study aims to explore seriously ill patients’ experiences during goals-of-care discussions and perspectives of end-of-life (EOL) decision-making in the Middle Eastern country of Jordan.MethodsThis is a qualitative descriptive study with semi-structured, one-on-one interviews. Settings were 2 large hospitals in Jordan. Patients were a purposeful sample of 14 Arabic-speaking adults who were seriously ill and hospitalized with palliative care needs.ResultsConventional content analysis identified 4 main themes: perceived suffering during serious illness, attitudes toward discussing EOL decision-making, goals of care and preferences for EOL, and actions to enhance EOL decision-making. Disease and treatment burdens and concerns about life, family, and death were sources of suffering during serious illness. What matters most to patients at EOL were alleviating suffering and getting support from family, friends, and care providers. Although patients expressed reluctance and inaction toward EOL decision-making due to uncertainties, lacking awareness, and assumptions of fear, their potential goals of care were to live longer, be with their families, and die with dignity.Significance of resultsJordanians and culturally similar Arabs could benefit from goals-of-care discussions. The proper, culturally sensitive implementation of goals-of-care discussions in Arab populations with similar cultural norms requires raising public awareness and clarifying the legitimacy of goals-of-care discussions, preparing patients and their families for the discussions, and considering individual variations in handling the discussions.
Assessing well-being in pediatric palliative care: A pilot study about views of children, parents and health professionals

Published: March 2023

AbstractObjectivesOur research aims to compare the perception that children in the pediatric palliative care setting have of their emotional well-being, or that expressed by the parents, with the perception held by the professionals involved in their care.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, the emotional well-being of 30 children with a mean age of 10.8 years (standard deviation [SD] = 6.1) is evaluated. Children, or parents where necessary, evaluate their situation with a question about emotional well-being on a 0–10 visual analog scale. For each child, a health professional also rates the child’s emotional status using the same scale.ResultsThe average child’s emotional well-being score provided by children or parents was 7.1 (SD = 1.6), while the average score given by health professionals was 5.6 (SD = 1.2). Children or parents graded the children’s emotional well-being significantly higher than professionals (t-test = 4.6, p-value < .001). Health professionals rated the children’s emotional well-being significantly lower when the disease status was progressive than when the disease was not (t-test = 2.2, p-value = .037).Significance of resultsChildren themselves, or their parents, report more positive evaluations of emotional well-being than health professionals. Sociodemographic and disease variables do not seem to have a direct influence on this perception, rather it is more likely that children, parents, and professionals focus on different aspects and that children or parents need to hold on to a more optimistic vision. We must emphasize that when this difference is more pronounced, it can be a warning sign that further analysis is required of the situation.

Published: March 2023

AbstractAlthough morphological plasticity has been widely known in various cactus genera, few studies have investigated the origin and molecular relationship between morphological variants from cacti. Morphological variants are relevant specimens because atypical, exotic and generally unique forms are preferred by cactus traders and collectors. The current study investigates the molecular relationship between the tortuosus and monstruosus ornamental variants of Cereus peruvianus used in landscapes. Polymorphisms in loci of simple-sequence repeats in DNA were used as molecular markers. The variants tortuosus and monstruosus, and plants with typically columnar and erect shoots cultivated in southern Brazil were retrieved from public parks and home gardens. High polymorphism, an indicative of vegetative propagation, and a moderate genetic divergence were detected at the molecular level in monstruosus and tortuosus plants. Artificial selection and vegetative propagation of the ornamental variants of Cereus may be inducing a moderate genetic divergence and formation of two heterologous groups with conservative genetic diversity. Polymorphism in Cereus variants revealed groups with contrasting genes among the variants tortuosus and monstruosus which may be useful for breeding to generate new and different new variants.

AbstractMesoscale eddies have been shown to support elevated dinitrogen (N2) fixation rates (NFRs) and abundances of N2‐fixing microorganisms (diazotrophs), but the mechanisms underlying these observations are not well understood. We sampled two pairs of mesoscale cyclones and anticyclones in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre in 2017 and 2018 and compared our observations with seasonal patterns from the Hawaii Ocean Time‐series (HOT) program. Consistent with previous reports, we found that NFRs were anomalously high for this region (up to 3.7‐fold above previous monthly HOT observations) in the centers of both sampled anticyclones. In 2017, these elevated rates coincided with high concentrations of the diazotroph Crocosphaera. We then coupled our field‐based observations, together with transcriptomic analyses of nutrient stress marker genes and ecological models, to evaluate the role of biological (via estimates of growth and grazing rates) and physical controls on populations of Crocosphaera, Trichodesmium, and diatom symbionts at the mesoscale. Our results suggest that increased Crocosphaera abundances in the 2017 anticyclone resulted from the alleviation of phosphate limitation, allowing cells to grow at rates exceeding grazing losses. In contrast, distributions of larger, buoyant taxa (Trichodesmium and diatom symbionts) appeared less affected by eddy‐driven biological controls. Instead, they appeared driven by physical dynamics along frontal boundaries that separate cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies. No examined controls were able to explain our 2018 findings of higher NFRs in the anticyclone. A generalized explanation of elevated NFRs in mesoscale eddies remains challenging due to the interplay of eddy‐driven bottom‐up, top‐down, and physical control mechanisms.
