Analysing policy changes for achieving sustainable development goals: Insights from forest, environment and climate change action plan in Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Md Saifur , Khan Md Faisal Abedin , Giessen Lukas 
Published: August 2023

AbstractEnvironmental sustainability lies at the centre of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Many developing economies, including Bangladesh, undertook massive institutional and policy reformulation initiatives to accomplish the respective environmental targets of the SDGs. However, effective policy implementation and obtaining the desired impact on people and the planet remain challenging. Against this backdrop, using the typical case of Bangladesh, the study hypothesises whether environmental (including forest and climate change) policy changes beget optimal policy outcomes and bring innovative policy ideas. Or they deliver sub‐optimal policy outcomes and prioritise traditional policy substances in achieving the SDGs. The study uses a policy typology and does content analysis for a large number of policy changes (n = 82). It applies the analytical framework of policy planning and a coherent–consistent policy approach. The result shows a tremendous shortfall in policy planning and a lack of technical policy capacities to implement innovative policy substances, for example, sustainable and scientific resources management, pollution control, science‐based study and data generation, and so forth. Also, incoherent goal settings (e.g., biodiversity conservation versus infrastructure development) and inadequate policy solutions for long‐standing problems (e.g., land tenure conflict) can obstruct achieving transformative changes. The sustainable development targets demand an all‐inclusive sectoral approach and technical‐legal policy solutions to achieve environmental sustainability.

Published: August 2023

AbstractMisdiagnosis of child abuse and neglect can delay early treatment. Some authors have pointed out that nurses can miss child abuse and neglect diagnoses due to a lack of knowledge. It is unclear whether the lack of knowledge is due to students' insufficient preparation in nursing school and/or a deficiency in continuing education. An 18‐item questionnaire was administered to final‐year nursing students to assess their degree of knowledge on child abuse and neglect and to evaluate if the lack of knowledge was due to insufficient teaching/training during nursing school. The students were also asked to evaluate themselves by assigning a score to their knowledge. A statistical comparison was performed to define whether sufficient/insufficient results were associated with the following variables: sex, pediatric or general nursing student, attending pediatric lectures, training in pediatric wards/ambulatories, and attending specific lectures on child abuse and neglect. The study population comprised 175 students (154 females, 20 males, 1 unknown). Exactly 66.3% of the participants had ≤9/18 correct answers. Of all students, 77.7% self‐evaluated their level of knowledge as ≤5/10. The comparisons yielded statistically significant differences between the groups with sufficient objective knowledge and those unrelated to training in pediatric wards/ambulatories or pediatric nursing students. Overall, there was little objective knowledge on the subject, which may be related to insufficient teaching/training in nursing schools. Useful corrective strategies include further teaching on child abuse and neglect, preferably using a practical approach. Further, common teaching/training programs should be conducted by both pediatric and general nursing schools.

AbstractObjectiveInternational guidelines provide increasing support for computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) in investigating chest pain. A pathway utilising CTCA first‐line for outpatient stable chest pain evaluation was implemented in an Australian ED.MethodsIn pre‐post design, the impact of the pathway was prospectively assessed over 6 months (August 2021 to January 2022) and compared with a 6‐month pre‐implementation group (February 2021 to July 2021). CTCA was recommended first‐line in suspected stable cardiac chest pain, followed by chest pain clinic review. Predefined criteria were provided recommending functional testing in select patients. The impact of CTCA versus functional testing was evaluated. Data were obtained from digital medical records.ResultsThree hundred and fifteen patients were included, 143 pre‐implementation and 172 post‐implementation. Characteristics were similar except age (pre‐implementation: 58.9 ± 12.0 vs post‐implementation: 62.8 ± 12.3 years, P = 0.004). Pathway‐guided management resulted in higher first‐line CTCA (73.3% vs 46.2%, P < 0.001), lower functional testing (30.2% vs 56.6%, P < 0.001) and lower proportion undergoing two non‐invasive tests (4.7% vs 10.5%, P = 0.047), without increasing investigation costs or invasive coronary angiography (ICA) (pre‐implementation: 13.3% vs post‐implementation: 9.3%, P = 0.263). In patients undergoing CTCA, 40.7% had normal coronaries and 36.2% minimal/mild disease, with no difference in disease burden post‐implementation. More medication changes occurred following CTCA compared with functional testing (aspirin: P = 0.005, statin: P < 0.001). In patients undergoing ICA, revascularisation to ICA ratio was higher following CTCA compared with functional testing (91.7% vs 18.2%, P < 0.001). No 30‐day myocardial infarction or death occurred.ConclusionsThe pathway increased CTCA utilisation and reduced downstream investigations. CTCA was associated with medication changes and improved ICA efficiency.
Influence of seed‐roasting degree on quality attributes of sunflower oil

Published: August 2023

AbstractTo facilitate the typical flavor of sunflower oil, seed roasting is widely applied. In this study, the effects of seed‐roasting degree (160, 180, 200°C for 0–25 min) on the quality attributes of sunflower oil were assessed, particularly tocopherols, sterols, total phenolics, fatty acids, and triglycerides composition as essential compounds for the nutritional value of the sunflower oil. Roasting seeds at a high temperature can significantly raise oxidative stability by 1.5–1.8 times, the content of carotenoids by 2.0–5.5 times, chlorophyll by 7.5–17.0 times, as well as increase the browning index by 4.0–10.0 times and deepen the color of the sunflower oil. However, the fatty acid and triglyceride profiles of sunflower oils have little change under distinct seed‐roasting degrees. Synthetically considering the various indicators measured in the current study. It is recommended that the seed roasts at 160–180°C for about 20 min to ameliorate the oxidative stability and quality.Practical Application: A well‐defined roasting process is very important for the food industry to be able to produce sunflower oil with desirable nutrition, unique flavor produced by the Maillard reaction and chemical properties of sunflower oil, which changes during the roasting. Considering the flavor, peroxide values, oxidation stability, and other quality attributes of oil obtained from the roasted seed, we found that sunflower seed oil better quality is obtained when roasted at 160‐ ‐180°C for about 20 min (e.g., 160°C for 20–25 min or 180°C for 15–20 min).

AbstractAdvances in many isolation studies have revealed that pure Dehalococcoides grow stably, although the large‐scale pure cultivation of Dehalococcoides has yet to be established. In this study, 7 L‐culturing of Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain NIT01 was first performed using vessels made of glass and stainless alloy SUS304. All batches cultured in the glass vessel successfully dechlorinated >95% of 1 mM trichloroethene (TCE) to ethene (ETH), whereas only 5 out of 13 batches cultured in the SUS304 vessel did the same. The difference in dechlorination efficiency suggested the possible inhibition of dechlorination by SUS304. Also, the strain NIT01 showed long delays in dechlorination with pieces of SUS316, steel, and a repeatedly used SUS304, but not with titanium. The repeatedly used SUS304 cracked and increased the Fe2+ concentration to ≥76 μM. Dechlorination by this strain was also inhibited with ≥1000 μM Fe2+ and ≥23 μM Cr3+ but not with ≤100 μM Ni2+, suggesting that Cr3+ eluted from solid stainless alloys inhibited the dechlorination. Culturing in a titanium vessel instead of a stainless alloy showed the complete dechlorination of 1 mM TCE within 12–28 days with a growth yield of 2.7 × 107 cells/μmol‐released Cl−, even after repeating use of the vessels six times.

Published: August 2023

AbstractGlia and neurons face different challenges in aging and may engage different mechanisms to maintain their morphology and functionality. Here, we report that adult‐onset downregulation of a Drosophila gene CG32529/GLAD led to shortened lifespan and age‐dependent brain degeneration. This regulation exhibited cell type and subtype‐specificity, involving mainly surface glia (comprising the BBB) and cortex glia (wrapping neuronal soma) in flies. In accordance, pan‐glial knockdown of GLAD disrupted BBB integrity and the glial meshwork. GLAD expression in fly heads decreased with age, and the RNA‐seq analysis revealed that the most affected transcriptional changes by RNAi‐GLAD were associated with upregulation of immune‐related genes. Furthermore, we conducted a series of lifespan rescue experiments and the results indicated that the profound upregulation of immune and related pathways was not the consequence but cause of the degenerative phenotypes of the RNAi‐GLAD flies. Finally, we showed that GLAD encoded a heterochromatin‐associating protein that bound to the promoters of an array of immune‐related genes and kept them silenced during the cell cycle. Together, our findings demonstrate a previously unappreciated role of heterochromatic gene silencing in repressing immunity in fly glia, which is required for maintaining BBB and brain integrity as well as normal lifespan.
A study of cross‐border profit shifting channels: Evidence from Australia
Authors: Tran Alfred , Xu Wanmeng 
Published: August 2023

AbstractWe investigate two cross‐border profit shifting channels used by foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) in Australia and assess the effectiveness of the related measures adopted by the Australian Parliament to combat base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS). Overall, we find that Australian subsidiaries of foreign MNEs used tax‐induced intra‐group transfer pricing and, to a lesser extent, interest expense loading to shift profit out of Australia throughout the period from 2007 to 2020. However, we find no evidence indicating that profit shifting out of Australia via the two channels has reduced after the implementation of related BEPS countermeasures in Australia from 2013.
Understanding the Coleoptera community at the tree‐line using taxonomic and functional guild approaches

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Mountain species are at the forefront of climate change disruption, and montane saproxylic Coleoptera are facing large‐ and small‐scale changes in their surroundings. Saproxylic Coleoptera are both functionally and taxonomically diverse and are the representatives of an imperilled fauna confronted with the realities of a changing landscape. Understanding the effects of elevation and other forest characteristics on saproxylic and non‐saproxylic Coleoptera is a step towards predicting the future of taxonomic and functional group biodiversity at the tree‐line and on mountains.
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of elevation and other forest characteristics on the biodiversity of montane Coleoptera at the tree‐line using both taxonomic and functional feeding guild classifications.
Our results suggest that abundance of saprotrophs is closely linked to the density of large trees rather than the volume of wood. Edge effects and elevation seem to drive abundance patterns of some species and also influence taxonomic and functional guild community patterns differently. Finally, we discuss the implications of climate change and land abandonment to future Coleoptera community structure.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Reliably predicting pest damage would allow farmers to reduce insecticide use without incurring economic losses and thus contribute to agricultural sustainability. However, means to predict pest severity are lacking.
We assessed whether crop feeding injury caused by flea beetles in spring oilseed rape can be predicted from flea beetle pest densities in the previous season using 22 years of suction trap catches of flea beetles in combination with crop feeding injury data from 293 fields.
We found a strong positive relationship between the densities of flea beetles of the genus Phyllotreta in the summer and autumn activity period of the previous year and crop feeding injury caused by flea beetles in spring oilseed rape the following year. Autumn weather or the total cover of spring oilseed rape in the study region did not improve the prediction further.
Pest monitoring using suction traps is thus a promising tool to predict crop feeding injury and can reduce insecticide use in years with low pest pressures.
Interaction between islands and special economic zones: Spatial processes of containment and exclusion
Authors: Grydehøj Adam , Su Ping 
Published: August 2023

AbstractDespite considerable research into special economic zones (SEZs) and Island Studies, islands and SEZs are rarely considered together. Islands and SEZs are, however, closely associated, in part due to the attractiveness of island characteristics (remoteness, boundedness, isolation) for exclusive economic processes. Many prominent SEZs are located on small islands, and many island economies function similarly to SEZs. Defining SEZs as ‘bounded spaces of economic and regulatory exception’, this paper considers deregulated industrial zones and exclusively branded smart cities and eco‐cities, as well as island SEZs designed for external benefit and for local benefit. The study shows that spatial processes of containment and exclusion are supported by islands and are especially useful for crafting SEZs, which may specialise in industries such as financial services, manufacturing, gaming, port services and high‐end tourism. Nevertheless, SEZ processes often create negative social, economic and environmental impacts. Island SEZs developed for external interest often seek to contain harm within islands or to exclude unfavourable factors, resulting in a spatial mismatch of harms and benefits. Island SEZs developed for local interest struggle to externalise harms, creating problems for island populations. The paper argues for the value of understanding islands and SEZs together, without exceptionalising them.
Technology integration in higher education and student privacy beyond learning environments—A comparison of the UK and US perspective
Authors: Giuffrida Iria , Hall Alex 
Published: August 2023

AbstractTechnology integration in higher education (HE) has brought immense innovation. While research is investigating the benefits of leveraging, through learning analytics, the data created by the greater presence of technology in HE, it is also analysing the privacy implications of vast universes of data now at the fingertips of HE administrators. This paper argues that student privacy challenges linked to technology integration occur not only within but also beyond learning environments, namely at the enterprise level. By analysing the UK and US legal frameworks surrounding how HE institutions respond to parents demanding disclosure of their adult children's personal data in the event of mental health crises, this paper offers an example of real and complex privacy issues, often overlooked by interdisciplinary inquiry, that exist in the ‘interstitial space’ between HE technology and privacy law. The purpose of conducting a comparative analysis was to demonstrate that countries with different privacy regimes are similarly ill‐equipped to address certain student privacy issues at the HE enterprise level, leaving HEIs exposed to potential litigation/regulatory risks. The contribution of this work is to invite greater interdisciplinary awareness of, and inquiry into, student privacy beyond learning environments.

AbstractBackgroundMany techniques have been proposed to address post‐extraction ridge resorption, which often represents a concern, especially in the esthetic region.PurposeThe purpose of the present, prospective, multicenter, single cohort study was to investigate, up to 1 year of function, the effectiveness of a protocol for alveolar ridge preservation involving implants with laser‐microgrooved surface immediately placed in fresh extraction sockets.Materials and MethodsTwenty eight patients candidate to tooth extraction in the esthetic zone (site 15–25 and 35–45) were treated by immediate placement of a single laser‐microgrooved implants with the adjunct of a highly porous anorganic porcine bone mineral matrix and a collagen wound dressing. Peri‐implant marginal bone level (MBL) was evaluated at time of loading, 3 and 12 months after loading. Gingival index, plaque index, probing depth, and bleeding on probing were measured at 3, 6, and 12 months after loading. Dimensional changes at implant sites were digitally evaluated using the best‐fit superimposition of pre‐and post‐socket preservation models. Implant aesthetic score (IAS) as well as patients' post‐operative quality of life were also evaluated at 12 months. Comparisons between data relative to thick and thin gingival phenotypes were made using Student's t‐test or Mann–Whitney test, as appropriate. The significance level was set at p = 0.05.ResultsNo patient dropped out, and 28 implants were evaluated at 12 months post‐loading. The overall MBL was found to be 0.92 ± 1.11 mm. Volumetric analysis of superimposed models showed an alveolar bone tissue displacement at the buccal aspect of −0.57 ± 0.52 mm in thin phenotypes and −0.46 ± 0.31 mm in thick phenotypes (p = 0.58, unpaired Student's t‐test). No signs of soft tissue recession or esthetically unpleasant buccal gingiva were reported.ConclusionsThe clinical protocol herein employed showed benefits in maintaining marginal bone levels and soft tissue contour around post‐extraction implants in the esthetic zone.
Do tax credits benefit charities? Evidence from two states
Authors: Gupta Anubhav , Spreen Thomas Luke 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis paper considers the effect of state charitable giving tax credits on the contribution revenues of eligible charities. Using event studies paired with Form 990 data, we detect no significant change in contributions to qualified nonprofits after the elimination of a $100 per taxpayer credit by Michigan. By contrast, we find a significant increase in contributions to qualified charities following the introduction of a $10,000 per taxpayer credit by North Dakota that persists for several years. The results suggest that placing a large cap on charitable giving tax credits induces stronger donor responses.
NELFA and BCL2 induce the 2C‐like state in mouse embryonic stem cells in a chemically defined medium

AbstractA minority of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) display totipotent features resembling 2‐cell stage embryos and are known as 2‐cell‐like (2C‐like) cells. However, how ESCs transit into this 2C‐like state remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the overexpression of negative elongation factor A (Nelfa), a maternally provided factor, enhances the conversion of ESCs into 2C‐like cells in chemically defined conditions, while the deletion of endogenous Nelfa does not block this transition. We also demonstrate that Nelfa overexpression significantly enhances somatic cell reprogramming efficiency. Interestingly, we found that the co‐overexpression of Nelfa and Bcl2 robustly activates the 2C‐like state in ESCs and endows the cells with dual cell fate potential. We further demonstrate that Bcl2 overexpression upregulates endogenous Nelfa expression and can induce the 2C‐like state in ESCs even in the absence of Nelfa. Our findings highlight the importance of BCL2 in the regulation of the 2C‐like state and provide insights into the mechanism underlying the roles of Nelfa and Bcl2 in the establishment and regulation of the totipotent state in mouse ESCs.
