Optimal Frequency-Response Corrections for Eddy Covariance Flux Measurements Using the Wiener Deconvolution Method
Authors: Emad Anas 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe describe a new direct correction approach to accurately restore frequency attenuated eddy covariance (EC) measurements. The new approach utilizes the Wiener deconvolution method to optimally estimate the original signal from noisy atmospheric measurements. Key features over conventional EC spectral correction methods include (i) the use of physics-based response functions, (ii) the ability to account for the non-linear phase contributions, and (iii) the direct restoration of the original signal rather than simulating the effect on an ideal reference spectrum. The new correction approach is compared to conventional spectral correction methods in a numerical simulation where the magnitude of the key limitations of conventional methods is explored under conditions relevant to common EC set-ups. The simulation results showed that the spectral correction methods commonly used for calculating EC fluxes introduced systematic error up to 10% to the restored fluxes and substantially increased their random uncertainty. The errors are attributed to the effect of using inappropriate response functions, failing to account for the contribution of the non-linear phase, and due to the assumption of spectral similarity on the scale of averaging intervals. The Wiener deconvolution method is versatile, can be applied under non-ideal conditions, and provides an opportunity to unify analytical and “in-situ” spectral correction methods by applying existing transfer functions to directly restore attenuated spectra. Furthermore, the Wiener deconvolution approach is adaptable for use with various micrometeorological measurement techniques such as eddy accumulation and flux profile measurements.
Corporate Social Responsibility in Family Firms: Status and Future Directions of a Research Field
Authors: Stock Christoph , Pütz Laura , Schell Sabrina , Werner Arndt 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis systematic literature review contributes to the increasing interest regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR) in family firms—a research field that has developed considerably in the last few years. It now provides the opportunity to take a holistic view on the relationship dynamics—i.e., drivers, activities, outcomes, and contextual influences—of family firms with CSR, thus enabling a more coherent organization of current research and a sounder understanding of the phenomenon. To conceptualize the research field, we analyzed 122 peer-reviewed articles published in highly ranked journals identifying the main issues examined. The results clearly show a lack of research regarding CSR outcomes in family firms. Although considered increasingly crucial in family firm research, a study investigating family outcomes (e.g., family community status, family emotional well-being), as opposed to firm outcomes, is missing. This literature review outlines the current state of research and contributes to the actual debate on CSR in family firms by discussing how family firms can use CSR activities as strategic management tools. Moreover, our analysis shows a black box indicating how CSR links different antecedents and outcomes. The black box is significant since firms generally need to know where to allocate their scarce resources to generate the best outcomes. We identify nine research questions based on these findings, which we hope will inspire future research.

AbstractTrials show that low-dose computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening in long-term (ex-)smokers reduces lung cancer mortality. However, many individuals were exposed to unnecessary diagnostic procedures. This project aims to improve the efficiency of lung cancer screening by identifying high-risk participants, and improving risk discrimination for nodules. This study is an extension of the Dutch-Belgian Randomized Lung Cancer Screening Trial, with a focus on personalized outcome prediction (NELSON-POP). New data will be added on genetics, air pollution, malignancy risk for lung nodules, and CT biomarkers beyond lung nodules (emphysema, coronary calcification, bone density, vertebral height and body composition). The roles of polygenic risk scores and air pollution in screen-detected lung cancer diagnosis and survival will be established. The association between the AI-based nodule malignancy score and lung cancer will be evaluated at baseline and incident screening rounds. The association of chest CT imaging biomarkers with outcomes will be established. Based on these results, multisource prediction models for pre-screening and post-baseline-screening participant selection and nodule management will be developed. The new models will be externally validated. We hypothesize that we can identify 15–20% participants with low-risk of lung cancer or short life expectancy and thus prevent ~140,000 Dutch individuals from being screened unnecessarily. We hypothesize that our models will improve the specificity of nodule management by 10% without loss of sensitivity as compared to assessment of nodule size/growth alone, and reduce unnecessary work-up by 40–50%.
Arriving at a Good Port: Urban and Historical Archaeology in Three Cities of the Colombian Caribbean
Authors: Rivera-Sandoval Javier 
Published: March 2023

AbstractColombian urban archaeology has been growing since the 1990s, particularly in Caribbean cities such as Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Santa Marta. The investigations generally respond to the need to comply with protection regulations of archaeological heritage in restoration projects of Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC, the Spanish acronym for Bienes de Interés Cultural), located in historic centers or urban infrastructure works. The results have allowed for the reconstruction of various aspects of daily life in these cities since their foundation, but they have also uncovered data on previous occupations of those same spaces during the pre-Hispanic period. There is still a need to consolidate adequate work strategies adjusted to the needs and particularities of these contexts, which increasingly require the execution of this type of archaeology project.
'I Have Seen STEM in Action and It's Quite Do-able!' The Impact of an Extended Professional Development Model on Teacher Efficacy in Primary STEM Education
Authors: O’Dwyer Anne , Hourigan Mairéad , Leavy Aisling M. , Corry Edward 
Published: March 2023

AbstractInterest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has gained momentum due to increasing calls for a more STEM-literate society. As teaching integrated STEM poses curricular and pedagogical challenges for most generalist primary teachers, professional development (PD) is essential to support them to develop appropriate knowledge and efficacy to teach STEM. This paper presents a qualitative study of 17 primary teachers, 2 school principals and the PD facilitator. It explores the perceived impact of a customised three-phase STEM PD program on teacher efficacy in STEM education using Bandura’s (1977) sources of efficacy as an analytic lens. The findings illustrate how particular features of the PD model were identified as contributing to the development of participating teachers’ performance accomplishment, emotional arousal, vicarious experiences and verbal persuasion. In particular, there was consensus that the developmental structure of the STEM PD program, in terms of teachers’ assuming increasing ownership for their STEM learning, incrementally enhanced teacher efficacy in STEM education. Implications of this study for STEM education and in particular STEM PD are discussed fully.
Characteristics of Young People who use Family Violence in Adolescence and Young Adulthood: An Age-based Analysis
Authors: Sheed Abigail , McEwan Troy , Simmons Melanie , Spivak Benjamin , Papalia Nina 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Purpose
There is a lack of research examining age-related differences in the characteristics of young people who use family violence between key developmental periods. This study provides a population-based descriptive overview of young people who come to police attention for using family violence and examines how characteristics differ across early adolescence (10–14 years), late adolescence (15–19 years) and young adulthood (20–24 years).

Method
The sample comprised all youth aged 10–24 years (N = 5014) who were reported to police for using family violence over a four-month period in 2019. Chi-square analyses with odds ratios as a measure of effect size were used to examine age-related differences in sociodemographic, psychosocial, and family violence-related characteristics across the three age groups. A Kaplan Meier survival curve was used to examine age-based differences in time to family violence recidivism.

Results
Findings suggested that young people who used family violence were typically male, disproportionately from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and a significant minority experienced mental health issues. Substance abuse and unemployment/school truancy were higher among those in late adolescence and young adulthood, while accessibility needs, and childhood victimisation were highest among those in early adolescence. Child-to-parent abuse was highest among those in early- and late-adolescence, while intimate partner abuse was highest among those in young adulthood. There was no significant difference in time to family violence recidivism among the groups.

Conclusion
The findings of this study highlight the variation in characteristics of youth family violence according to three key developmental periods. Such information may be used to inform assessment and intervention approaches for this cohort.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) possess characteristic chemical and optical features. In this light, ZnS QDs capped with glutathione (GSH) were synthesized via an easy aqueous co-precipitation technique. Fabricated QDs were characterized in terms of X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Zeta potential analyses. Optical properties were examined using photoluminescence (PL) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–visible) spectroscopies. Moreover, GSH-capped ZnS QDs were evaluated as an optical probe for non-enzymatic detection of urea depending on the quenching of PL intensity of ZnS QDs in the presence of urea from concentration range of 0.5–5 mM with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.995, sensitivity of 0.0875 mM−1 and LOD of 0.426 mM. Furthermore, GSH-capped ZnS QDs-urease conjugate was utilized as an optical probe for enzymatic detection of urea in the range from 1.0 µM to 5.0 mM. Interestingly, it was observed that urea has a good affinity towards ZnS QDs-urease conjugate with a linear relationship between the change of PL intensity and urea concentration. It was found that R2 is 0.997 with a sensitivity of 0.042 mM−1 for mM concentration (0.5–5 mM) and LOD of 0.401 mM. In case of µM concentration range (1–100 µM), R2 was 0.971 with a sensitivity of 0.0024 µM−1 and LOD of 0.687 µM. These data suggest that enzyme conjugation to capped QDs might improve their sensitivity and applicability.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe east of Cali is composed of loose sand deposits with high water table levels. This condition and the high seismic hazard of the city make cyclic liquefaction one of the main hazards in the city, which may affect more than 600,000 citizens and important infrastructures such as the city’s main drinking water treatment plants. Therefore, it was decided to design and implement a seismic monitoring center to study the behavior of liquefiable soils under local seismogenic conditions, in which subduction earthquakes predominate. First, more than 130 earthquakes from two seismic monitoring centers with liquefiable layers in the USA were studied to determine the requirements for the adequate design of the monitoring center. Then, a robust geotechnical and seismic characterization of the study area including SPT, CPTu, and seismic and ambient noise tests were carried out. From this information, the specifications and location of the instruments and, in general, the characteristics of the monitoring center were defined. The monitoring center has been planned to be established in two stages, and the first one has already been built and commissioned. The implementation of the first stage allowed to adequately record 35 earthquakes from different seismogenic sources, most of them from subduction earthquakes, and to verify that the potentially liquefiable layer remains saturated throughout the year. Subsequent ground motion sensors will allow to deeply study and understand large shear strains and excess pore pressures generation in the soil deposit, as well as their relationships with different intensity measures. The experience shared herein can benefit the design, construction, and operation of other seismic monitoring centers across the world.
Habitat connectivity supports the local abundance of fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) but also the spread of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Context
Habitat connectivity can stabilise animal populations by facilitating immigration and genetic exchange, but it increases the risk of infectious diseases being spread by hosts. Chytridiomycosis caused by Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) threatens European salamander diversity. The extent to which the connectivity of populations of fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) contributes to the spread of Bsal remains unclear.

Objectives
We analysed the impact of habitat connectivity of fire salamanders on the spread of Bsal. Moreover, we show how local salamander abundance is associated with habitat connectivity over a five-year period.

Methods
We developed fire salamander habitat suitability models (HSMs) for the Eifel area (Germany), currently considered the core of the range of Bsal in Europe. Habitat models were used to calculate pairwise resistance between salamander occurrences to test whether Bsal presence and salamander abundance were associated with habitat connectivity.

Results
Fire salamanders are widely distributed in the Eifel. Solid bedrock and topographic positioning were important predictors of stream suitability as breeding habitats, while deciduous forests and grassland cover determined overall fire salamander habitat suitability along with breeding habitat suitability. Bsal-positive salamander occurrences were better-connected than Bsal-negative or untested occurrences. Nevertheless, fire salamander larvae were more abundant in well-connected sites.

Conclusion
The connection of salamander populations by suitable habitat seems to support local salamander abundance while facilitating the spread of Bsal. In situ conservation measures counteracting host species connectivity to interrupt Bsal transmission pathways must be implemented with caution, as they may weaken the demographic advantages of connectivity.
Effects of multicultural education on student engagement in low- and high-concentration classrooms: the mediating role of student relationships
Authors: Abacioglu Ceren S. , Epskamp Sacha , Fischer Agneta H. , Volman Monique 
Published: March 2023

AbstractHaving positive and meaningful social connections is one of the basic psychological needs of students. The satisfaction of this need is directly related to students’ engagement—a robust predictor of educational achievement. However, schools continue to be sites of interethnic tension and the educational achievement of ethnically-minoritized students still lags behind that of their ethnic majority peers. The goal of the present study was to provide a quantitative account of the current segregated learning environments in terms of multicultural curriculum and instruction, as well as their possible impact on student outcomes that can mitigate these challenges. Drawing upon Self-Determination Theory, we investigated the extent to which the use of multicultural practices can improve students’ engagement and whether this relationship is mediated by students’ peer relationships. With data from 34 upper primary school classroom teachers and their 708 students, our multigroup analysis using structural equation modeling indicated that, in classrooms with a low (compared with high) minoritized student concentration, peer relationships can mediate the positive as well as negative effects of different dimensions of multicultural education on student engagement.
Not every pronoun is always a pronoun
Authors: Ruys E. G. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractA homonymy analysis is proposed to explain the so-called “demonstrative use” of personal pronouns. This analysis explains why some pronouns (it) do not allow a demonstrative use, as demonstrated in Nunberg (1993). The absence of a demonstrative feature initcan also account for the fact that it does not allow deferred reference. It is argued on the basis of the structure of the nominal demonstrative paradigm that the homonymy analysis is more parsimonious than a single-item analysis.
Forecasting the circum-Mediterranean firs (Abies spp., Pinaceae) distribution: an assessment of a threatened conifers’ group facing climate change in the twenty-first century

Published: March 2023

AbstractThis study examines 10 different taxa within the genus Abies identified in the circum-Mediterranean area: A. alba, A. borisii-regis, A. cephalonica, A. cilicica, A. nebrodensis, A. nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani, A. nordmanniana subsp. nordmanniana, A. numidica, A. pinsapo var. marocana and A. pinsapo var. pinsapo. We assess the potential distribution of these species in the Mediterranean Basin, most of Central-Northern Europe and Asia Minor through analysis of 8 bioclimatic variables. First, the potential distribution (suitability area) was calculated with Biomod2 package for R using 10 algorithms. Models were ensembled for the present period and then projected into two climate change scenarios (an intermediate and the most extreme) within two time slices (2041–2060 and 2081–2100) and two Global Circulation Models (GCMs). The analysis showed an increase in total suitable area under both forecasted scenarios. Abies spp. appeared to be resilient against climate change, showing a latitudinal and longitudinal migration trend in response to the loss of current habitats. A proposal of assisted migration (managed relocation) is suggested as an interesting alternative to guarantee the preservation of the most endangered species by promoting the establishment of new populations outside of their historical distribution area.

Abstract
Purpose
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor impairment leading to early death. Religiousness is one of the factors potentially alleviating the psychological burden of patients. However, its role might vary according to cultural context. Our study aimed to analyze religiosity, and its clinical, psychological and socio-demographic correlates in ALS patients and controls, comparing two European countries with different cultural backgrounds.

Methods
268 Polish and German ALS patients, including 18 with locked-in syndrome (LIS) and 198 healthy controls (HC) were interviewed about religiousness, quality of life (Qol), depression, functional status and pain. A follow-up was conducted on 71 patients.

Results
Polish subjects had a significantly higher level of public, private and general religiosity than the German sample. Importantly, we found no difference in total and public religiousness between ALS patients and HC within either population. Only the private religiousness was significantly higher in German patients compared to controls. In the same sample, private religiousness correlated with functional impairment due to disease progression. In ALS groups and LIS patients, religiousness did not correlate with any disease-associated factors: disease duration, pain, Qol or depression. Follow-up comparisons in the ALS group revealed worsening functional status, increased depression and no significant change in religiosity.

Conclusions
Religiosity was linked to the cultural background rather than ALS. Generally, it did not correlate with clinical, psychological and socio-demographic parameters and was stable throughout disease progression. The only exception was the relationship between the functional decline and private religiosity among German patients.
Describing the health-related quality of life of Māori adults in Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu (New Zealand)

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Purpose
In Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu (New Zealand; NZ) there are considerable inequities in health status and outcomes for Māori, the Indigenous peoples of NZ. It is therefore important that the health status and preferences of Māori are specifically considered in healthcare policy and decision making. This paper describes the health-related quality of life of 390 Māori adults who took part in the NZ EQ-5D-5L valuation study.

Methods
Responses on the five dimensions of the EQ-5D-5L were dichotomised into “no problems” and “any problems”, summarised and disaggregated by age group. Mean preference weights were reported by age group and overall. Mean utility values (calculated by applying each participant’s preference weights to their EQ-5D-5L profile) were summed and respective means and standard deviations reported by age, chronic disease status and disability.

Results
The EQ-5D-5L dimensions with the highest proportion of participants reporting any problems were pain/discomfort (61.5%) and anxiety/depression (50%). The most commonly-reported chronic disease was mental illness/distress (24.6%). Anxiety/depression ranked as the most important dimension, with usual activities, the least important. The mean utility value was 0.83 with the lowest value (0.79) found in the 18–24 and 45–54 age groups. For participants with at least one chronic disease the mean utility value was 0.76 compared to 0.91 for those with none.

Conclusion
To reduce inequities experienced by Māori it is crucial that the health status of Māori and the values Māori place on health-related quality of life are properly understood. This can only be achieved using Māori-specific data.
