Breeding biology of the African Pygmy Falcon: long-term variation and seasonal decline in breeding performance of an arid zone raptor
Authors: Olubodun Olufemi P. , Lowney Anthony M. , Bolopo Diana , Thomson Robert L. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractBirds of prey are apex predators and understanding their life history can serve as a valuable baseline for investigating their ecological role. Pygmy Falcons (Polihieraxsemitorquatus), Africa’s smallest diurnal raptor, have evolved to be obligate associates of Sociable Weaver (Philetairussocius) colonies throughout their southern African range. As a predator, Pygmy Falcons likely impact prey communities in this system including their host and other colony associates. However, no study has explored their breeding biology in detail using long-term data. We provide results from 10 years of data collected between 2011 and 2020. We followed 66 unique Pygmy Falcon territories and 323 breeding attempts in the Kalahari, South Africa. We explored annual variation in the population density of Pygmy Falcons and investigated between- and within-season variation in reproductive investment and output. The highest average density was recorded in 2015 and the lowest in 2019 and 2020. Our results show that the breeding occurs between early austral spring (August) and late summer (February), with a peak from September to December. The maximum and most frequent clutch size was three eggs and falcons usually initiated only one breeding attempt (but up to three) in a season. The incubation and nestling periods lasted on average 33 (±SD 4) and 37 (± 5) days, respectively. A three-egg clutch size and number of fledglings produced varied between seasons, and breeding success showed a seasonal decline across the breeding season. Falcons were 7 times less likely to lay a 3-egg clutch in 2019 than in 2011 and 2012, and breeding attempts initiated in September were 3.4 times more likely to be successful than those initiated in November. Predation accounted for 49.5% of breeding failures. Our results show significant variation in the breeding parameters of these falcons, but further studies are needed to understand what drives these variations.
Talking About Responsible Quantum: “Awareness Is the Absolute Minimum that … We Need to Do”
Authors: Roberson Tara 
Published: March 2023

AbstractHype over novel quantum technologies has prompted discussion on the likely societal impacts of the sector. Calls to ensure the responsible development of quantum technologies are complicated by a lack of concrete case studies or real-world examples of irresponsible quantum. At this stage, responsible quantum faces a situation reminiscent of the Collingridge dilemma. In this dilemma, the moment in which discussion on societal risks and benefits can be most impactful is also the time when the least information is available. The flipside of this challenge is an opportunity to build processes for examining the public good of quantum before the trajectory (and potential problems) of the sector become “locked in”. Recent work in this space has argued that quantum researchers and innovators must work with society to address uncertainties and concerns. By engaging quantum stakeholders and understanding their perspectives on responsibility, this paper seeks to support this proposition and enable further dialogue on responsible development and use of quantum technologies.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe objective of this work was to study the effect of soy protein isolate concentration (0.5–9%) and whipping time (1–8 min) on foam characteristics, physicochemical and functional properties of hot air foam-mat-dried strawberry powder. An optimization of foaming conditions was performed by response surface methodology to maintain the studied responses within acceptable limits. The foam was prepared using different concentrations of soy protein isolate solution (32%) and dried at 50 °C in a thin layer (4 mm as a thickness). The concentration of soy protein was the predominant parameter affecting foam density, expansion, and stability, and physicochemical and functional properties of strawberry powder. Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, water holding capacity, and oil holding capacity increased by about 26, 47, 166, 21, and 48%, respectively, with an increase in the concentration of soy protein isolate, compared to the control sample. Contrary, the whipping time showed a contradicted effect on all studied responses except the foam expansion and oil holding capacity.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Purpose
To support the development and implementation of exercise programming for people with prostate cancer (PC), we investigated their views on exercise.

Methods
Online survey with open recruitment. We collected data on clinical and sociodemographic variables, experiences with exercise advice, outcome expectations, and preferences. We explored determinants of (1) having been counselled about exercise and (2) preferring supervised exercise.

Results
The survey was completed by 171 patients (mean age = 70 years, SD = 6.5) from all PC treatment pathways. Sixty-three percent of the respondents reported never having been informed about the potential benefits of exercise. Forty-nine percent preferred exercise to be supervised. Respondents generally reported a positive attitude towards exercise. Seventy-four percent indicated barriers to exercising, including fatigue and lack of access to specific programmes. Outcome expectations were generally positive but moderately strong. Receiving hormonal therapy and younger age were significantly associated with having received exercise advice. Being insured and having higher fatigue levels contributed significantly to the preference for supervised exercise.

Conclusion
Dutch people with PC report receiving insufficient effective exercise counselling. Yet, they are open to exercise and expect exercise to improve their health, although they experience various barriers that limit their ability to exercise.

Implications for Cancer Survivors
The moderate outcome expectations for exercise of people with PC and their limited recall of exercise counselling highlight the need for better integration of exercise in clinical pathways. The lack of access to specific programming limits the use of evidence-based exercise programmes for people with PC.
Who gets caught by the emotion? Attentional biases toward emotional facial expressions and their link to social anxiety and autistic traits

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe emotional facial expressions of other individuals are a valuable information source in adapting behaviour to situational demands, and have been found to receive prioritized attention. Yet, enhanced attentional biases, such as a bias to social threat in Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), or blunted attention to emotional information, as assumed in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), can easily become maladaptive in daily life. In order to investigate individual differences in attentional biases toward different emotional expressions (angry, happy, sad, and fearful versus neutral) and their links to social anxiety and autistic traits, we tested 104 healthy participants with an emotional dot-probe paradigm on a touch screen, and measured clinical trait levels associated with ASD and SAD. While confirming the presence of attentional biases toward all emotional expressions, we did not find robust evidence for systematic links between these biases and either clinical trait dimension. Only an exploratory Bayesian analysis pointed to a less pronounced bias towards happy facial expressions with higher autistic trait levels. Moreover, a closer examination of the attentional bias towards angry facial expressions suggested that alterations in this bias might depend on a complex interplay between both trait dimensions. Novel approaches in the assessment of attentional biases might yield the potential to describe disorder-specific biases in attention to emotions more validly.
Relationship building strategies within trauma informed frameworks in educational settings: a systematic literature review
Authors: Wilson-Ching Michelle , Berger Emily 
Published: March 2023

AbstractConnection with others and a sense of belonging is essential for student school engagement and success. Relationship building practices are therefore central within trauma-informed frameworks that aim to support students with a history of interpersonal trauma. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the research literature regarding relationship building strategies that have been implemented within educational systems as part of their trauma-informed practices. The relationship building strategies, outcomes, and phenomenological experiences of teachers and students were evaluated. Four electronic databases were systematically searched and studies within the education system, from preschool to high school, which included connectedness to school through relationship building as part of a trauma-informed practice protocol, were included in the searches. Thirteen studies were identified where educational settings implemented relationship building strategies within well-established, eclectic, or relationship-specific trauma-informed models. Results suggest great variability of implementation and strategies related to relationship building across school settings, even within studies implementing the same trauma-informed framework. Across studies, positive outcomes reported included improved relationships with teachers, better relationships with other students, greater use of relationship building practices, an increased willingness of teachers to develop better relationships with their trauma-affected students, and improved relationships with families. The study concludes that relationship building strategies within the school system need to be considered and implemented within a systems framework where teacher-child and teacher-family relationships are supported and encouraged. Further, these strategies are more likely to be sustainable when teachers receive ongoing support.

Trace-elements monitoring of single rainwaters for the environmental risks assessment in the “Land of Fires” located between the provinces of Naples and Caserta
Authors: Nunziata Giovanni Paolo 
Published: March 2023

AbstractSince rainwater chemical composition can provide valuable information on sources of local air pollution in urbanized and industrialized areas, rainwaters have been collected in the southern Plain of the region known as Campania (located between Caserta and Napoli provinces, Southern Italy). This area is characterized by the presence of heavy traffic, industries, high activity of intensive agriculture and recently sadly known as “Land of Fires” due to illegal uncontrolled burnings. Monitoring of major elements and trace elements of each single rainy event was conducted from May 2016 to January 2017 in four sampling sites long the perpendicular to the coastline, taking into account the main direction of local winds, influenced by sea breeze, to study chemical evidences. Samples were divided in the field into two aliquots: one for the analysis of anions (Cl−, NO3− and SO42−) and cations (Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) by ion chromatography, and another one filtered and acidified for the analysis of trace elements (B, Al, Si, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr and Ba) by ICP-MS. Moreover, electrical conductivity (EC) and pH were determined just after the rainfall by a portable instrument and total alkalinity (as HCO3−) was determined in the field by titration with 0.01 M HCl and methyl orange as indicator. Results and data processing confirm that the vertical wash-out of the atmospheric layers closest to the soil is the main mineralization process. There is also chemical evidence linked to the hardest environmental risks, probably just to the illegal uncontrolled burnings and to the agriculture activity. In fact, the maximum values of NO3− and of SO42− obtained in this study are, respectively, 51.6 mg/l and 19.5 mg/l. Moreover, sea breeze has a lavage effect, as well as morphology can save the atmospheric composition despite polluting sites closeness. Therefore, this research has tried to find an innovative experimental design in the environmental risks assessment, which may lead to differently unknown results due to the diversity of sources and/or extension and/or morphology of the territories studied. This is due to the simultaneous application of points only recently introduced in other similar studies, which are the monitoring of trace elements, of single rainfall and the study of air dynamics too through water data. This experimental design has proven to be a first step very suitable for locating and detailing the hardest environmental risks despite geographical extension and complexity of the investigated region: all the trace elements have shown high R correlations with both NO3− and SO42− for specific individuated groups of data, as well as due to the specific probable polluting processes above. In the future, there should be a study on trace elements in air to compare with the values obtained in rainwater.

Abstract
Purpose
Difficulty reappraising drives to consume palatable foods may promote poorer inhibition and binge eating (BE) in adults with obesity, but neural underpinnings of food-related reappraisal are underexamined.

Methods
To examine neural correlates of food-related reappraisal, adults with obesity with and without BE wore a portable neuroimaging tool, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). fNIRS measured activity in the prefrontal cortex while participants watched videos of food and attempt to “resist” the food stimuli (i.e., “consider the negative consequences of eating the food”).

Results
Participants (N = 32, 62.5% female; BMI 38.6 $$\pm$$
±
7.1; 43.5 $$\pm$$
±
13.4 y) had a BMI > 30 kg/m2. Eighteen adults (67.0% female; BMI 38.2 $$\pm$$
±
7.6) reported BE (≥ 12 BE-episodes in preceding 3 months). The control group comprised 14 adults who denied BE (64.0% female; BMI 39.2 $$\pm$$
±
6.6). Among the entire sample, mixed models showed significant, small hyperactivation during crave and resist compared to watch (relax) condition bilaterally in the medial superior frontal gyrus, dorsolateral areas, and middle frontal gyrus (optodes 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12) in the total sample. No statistically significant differences in neural activation were observed between the BE and control group. Moreover, there were no significant group by condition interactions on neural activation.

Conclusion
Among adults with obesity, BE status was not linked to differential activation in inhibitory prefrontal cortex areas during a food-related reappraisal task. Future research is needed with larger samples, adults without obesity, and inhibition paradigms with both behavioral and cognitive components.

Level of evidence
Level III: Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case–control analytic studies.

) range of 0.001–1 s−1 and temperature (T) range of 30–400 °C were completed. The flow stress (σ) curves of annealed steel S45C were obtained, and a corresponding Hensel—Spittel model was developed to support finite element (FE) simulation. The sensitivity of the steady combined forward and backward extrusion (SCFBE) test proposed in another study was improved by approximately 20% after it was optimized using the results of the FE simulations. Key parameters were identified, and the calibration curves after optimization were obtained. On the basis of the optimized test, a friction testing setup with a heating system was developed, in which the die temperature could be adjusted from room temperature (RT) to 230 °C. Three dry-in-place lubricants and conventional phosphating lubricant were tested, and the friction factors (m), forming loads, and ejection loads were measured. The surface features of the specimens after testing were also investigated. According to the testing results, of the three tested dry-in-place lubricants, the mica type was the best. In addition, the optimized friction testing design was verified as effective.
Rapid Rescoping and Adaptation: An Evaluation of the Impact of COVID-19 on Postgraduate Medical Student Research Projects
Authors: Hart Joanne , Kaur Rajneesh , Jeremy Richmond 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected tertiary science and medical education, with significant impact on research-related activities. Research projects are a mandatory requirement of the Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program at the University of Sydney, and medical student projects are delivered across multiple sites in metropolitan and rural New South Wales, Australia. Several cohorts of medical students had projects that were affected by COVID-19. The aims of this study were to determine the impact of COVID-19 on medical student research projects and describe the measures taken to rescope projects, to support students in meeting the learning objectives of the program. Mandatory submission statements for all medical student research project scientific reports for 2020–2022 were examined for reports of the effect of COVID-19 on the project, including COVID-19 related delays, downsizing and the need to change research project types. During the study period, a total of 760 student reports were submitted, of which 217 (28.7%) were affected by COVID-19. About 50% were significantly delayed, 30% were downsized, and 6% required completely new projects. Rescoping arrangements implemented facilitated the successful completion of projects. Overall, the final student grades for the research projects were unaffected by COVID-19 or the related project rescoping. Whilst significantly impacted by COVID-19, medical student research projects were completed with provision of appropriate rescoping plans and academic support. Ensuring projects have a documented contingency plan secured projects as the pandemic progressed and will be a useful safeguard for all future project delivery.
Status and Opportunities of Zinc Ion Hybrid Capacitors: Focus on Carbon Materials, Current Collectors, and Separators

Published: March 2023

AbstractZinc ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs), which integrate the features of the high power of supercapacitors and the high energy of zinc ion batteries, are promising competitors in future electrochemical energy storage applications. Carbon-based materials are deemed the competitive candidates for cathodes of ZIHC due to their cost-effectiveness, high electronic conductivity, chemical inertness, controllable surface states, and tunable pore architectures. In recent years, great research efforts have been devoted to further improving the energy density and cycling stability of ZIHCs. Reasonable modification and optimization of carbon-based materials offer a remedy for these challenges. In this review, the structural design, and electrochemical properties of carbon-based cathode materials with different dimensions, as well as the selection of compatible, robust current collectors and separators for ZIHCs are discussed. The challenges and prospects of ZIHCs are showcased to guide the innovative development of carbon-based cathode materials and the development of novel ZIHCs.
How do L2 learners deal with a “dead” language? A psycholinguistic study on sentence processing in Latin
Authors: Weiss Anna Fiona 
Published: March 2023

AbstractMany decades of research have shown that sentence processing works in an highly incremental and predictive fashion (Marslen-Wilson, 1975) – in the L1 but also (maybe to a lower extent) in the L2. But whereas almost all studies on L2 sentence processing focus on modern languages, it is fully unclear how a language like Latin that fundamentally differs in the way it is taught and used is processed. Thus, the current study focuses on the question if proficient L2 learners of Latin show any evidence for incremental and predictive processing when reading Latin sentences. In a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) task 25 advanced learners of Latin read 384 easy three-word Latin sentences that were manipulated among the factors animacy, argument order and verb position. The results indicate that the participants used the word order and animacy information to incorporate the arguments into the sentence structure on-line and to predict upcoming arguments on the basis of verb information. These findings are interpreted as the first evidence for incremental and predictive processing when reading Latin sentences.
