AbstractBlue carbon ecosystems sequester and store a larger mass of organic carbon per unit area than many other vegetated ecosystems, with most being stored in the soil. Understanding the fine-scale drivers of variability in blue carbon soil stocks is important for supporting accurate carbon accounting and effective management of saltmarsh and mangrove habitats for carbon abatement. Here, we investigate the influence of local- and regional-scale environmental factors on soil organic carbon stocks using a case study from South Australia. We sampled 74 soil cores from mangrove, intertidal saltmarsh and supratidal saltmarsh sites where we also recorded precise elevation and vegetation data. Using a Bayesian mixed-effects regression approach, we modelled soil organic carbon stocks as a function of multiple environmental variables. The best model (Bayes R2 = 0.82) found that distance to the nearest tidal creek, vegetation type and soil texture significantly affected soil organic carbon stocks. Coarser soils with higher sand content had lower stocks, while finer-grained, clay-dominated soils had greater stocks. Mangroves had significantly greater stocks than intertidal saltmarshes and stocks were higher in sites closer to tidal creeks, highlighting the important role that local tidal creek systems play in sediment and water transport. This study’s findings are based on a broader range of local environmental factors than are usually considered in blue carbon models and increase our understanding and ability to predict site-level soil organic blue carbon stocks. The results emphasise the potential for organic carbon stocks to vary at local scales; the ability to predict this using appropriate environmental datasets; and the importance of accounting for local organic carbon stock variability when selecting sites for blue carbon-focussed restoration or conservation actions that aim to achieve carbon abatement.

AbstractAcute hypobaric hypoxic brain damage is a potentially fatal high-altitude sickness. Autophagy plays a critical role in ischemic brain injury, but its role in hypobaric hypoxia (HH) remains unknown. Here we used an HH chamber to demonstrate that acute HH exposure impairs autophagic activity in both the early and late stages of the mouse brain, and is partially responsible for HH-induced oxidative stress, neuronal loss, and brain damage. The autophagic agonist rapamycin only promotes the initiation of autophagy. By proteome analysis, a screen showed that protein dynamin2 (DNM2) potentially regulates autophagic flux. Overexpression of DNM2 significantly increased the formation of autolysosomes, thus maintaining autophagic flux in combination with rapamycin. Furthermore, the enhancement of autophagic activity attenuated oxidative stress and neurological deficits after HH exposure. These results contribute to evidence supporting the conclusion that DNM2-mediated autophagic flux represents a new therapeutic target in HH-induced brain damage.

Published: August 2023

AbstractNew structural sheet metal parts are developed in an iterative, time-consuming manner. To improve the reproducibility and speed up the iterative drawability assessment, we propose a novel low-dimensional multi-fidelity inspired machine learning architecture. The approach utilizes the results of low-fidelity and high-fidelity finite element deep drawing simulation schemes. It hereby relies not only on parameters, but also on additional features to improve the generalization ability and applicability of the drawability assessment compared to classical approaches. Using the machine learning approach on a generated data set for a wide range of different cross-die drawing configurations, a classifier is trained to distinguish between drawable and non-drawable setups. Furthermore, two regression models, one for drawable and one for non-drawable designs are developed that rank designs by drawability. At instantaneous evaluation time, classification scores of high accuracy as well as regression scores of high quality for both regressors are achieved. The presented models can substitute low-fidelity finite element models due to their low evaluation times while at the same time, their predictive quality is close to high-fidelity models. This approach may enable fast and efficient assessments of designs in early development phases at the accuracy of a later design phase in the future.

AbstractAlthough the human cerebellum has a surface that is about 80% of that of the cerebral cortex and has about four times as many neurons, its functional organization is still very much uncharted. Despite recent attempts to provide resting-state and task-based parcellations of the cerebellum, these two approaches lead to large discrepancies. This article describes a comprehensive task-based functional parcellation of the human cerebellum based on a large-scale functional database, NeuroSynth, involving an unprecedented diversity of tasks, which were reliably associated with ontological key terms referring to psychological functions. Involving over 44,500 participants from this database, we present a parcellation that exhibits replicability with earlier resting-state parcellations across cerebellar and neocortical structures. The functional parcellation of the cerebellum confirms the major networks revealed in prior work, including sensorimotor, directed (dorsal) attention, divided (ventral) attention, executive control, mentalizing (default mode) networks, tiny patches of a limbic network, and also a unilateral language network (but not the visual network), and the association of these networks with underlying ontological key terms confirms their major functionality. The networks are revealed at locations that are roughly similar to prior resting-state cerebellar parcellations, although they are less symmetric and more fragmented across the two hemispheres. This functional parcellation of the human cerebellum and associated key terms can provide a useful guide in designing studies to test specific functional hypotheses and provide a reference for interpreting the results.

Published: August 2023

AbstractSince the introduction of automation systems has begun to be applied to most industries with the development of technology, the utilization of industrial robots is increasing every year. However, the processing field a such as milling and Rough Cutting processing process occurs vibration from large processing load. Since industrial robots basically have low stiffness, they are vulnerable to vibration generated from processing loads when processing. In this paper, multi-axis active spindle holder of high stiffness was developed to improve precision and quality deterioration due to vibration generated from a processing load. If an active spindle holder of high stiffness is applied, it can increase the dynamic stiffness of the robot by blocking vibrations in the low-frequency range at the end effector before they are transmitted from the spindle to the robot, and as a result, it is expected to improve precision and quality. The performance evaluation of the active spindle holder manufactured based on the design was proceeded, and it was verified that the active spindle holder developed to compensate for the shortcomings of industrial robots was made with moving range and high stiffness of 200 Hz more. Furthermore, machining experiments confirmed an improvement in quality of more than 10%.

Abstract
Objectives
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of Mindfulness-Based Positive Behavior Support (MBPBS) training on the nature of caregiver and client reciprocal interactions at a moment-by-moment level using behavior analytic methodology. Specifically, we compared the behavior of caregivers and clients before and after MBPBS training for the caregivers in terms of caregiver-client engagement, percent of learning and leisure interactions during caregiver-client engagement, and percent of the clients’ challenging behaviors and socially acceptable behaviors during learning and leisure interactions. In addition, we examined the effects of specific conditionality of attentional responses of the caregivers to the clients’ challenging or socially acceptable behavior in terms of frequency, latency, duration, and quality.

Method
Caregiver and client engagements were videotaped before and after MBPBS training for the caregivers. The percent of caregiver-client engagement was analyzed using partial-interval recording for overall engagement and the clients’ challenging behaviors and socially acceptable behaviors during learning and leisure interactions. The effects of the caregivers’ attentional responses to the clients’ challenging behaviors and socially acceptable behaviors were analyzed using whole-interval recording.

Results
Training caregivers in MBPBS significantly increased caregiver-client engagement during learning and leisure activities, which resulted in the clients exhibiting fewer challenging behaviors and more socially appropriate behaviors. Furthermore, an analysis of the effects of different types of caregiver attention showed differential effects on the clients’ challenging behaviors and socially acceptable behaviors.

Conclusions
The results indicated that behavior analytic methods can be used as an objective and reliable way of capturing the nature of changes in predefined behaviors of both caregivers and clients at a moment-by-moment level following training of the caregivers in a mindfulness-based program. Using such an analytic method may provide an effective way of objectively measuring some experiential processes involved in mindfulness training.
Prediction and Art Appreciation
Authors: Mortu Ancuta 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Every art encounter requires making predictions given that art is rife with uncertainty. What is it to appreciate art while relying on predictions, and to what consequences? I argue that art appreciation involves engaging our predictive systems in such a way as to correct predictive failure at least at some levels in the processing hierarchy of information that we receive from art works. That art appreciation involves predictive processing best explains the mechanism for cognizing art works in categories, cases of appreciative failure, and why art appreciation is a form of valuing. To articulate the explanatory value of predictive processing for cognizing art works in categories, I introduce a sub-type of predictions that I call art-historical estimates – i.e., predictions that take as their object the temporal relationships between works and their place in art history – and identify their features within a broader typology of predictions and related mental structures such as schemas and scripts. I examine the way predictive processing explains the correction of predictive failure, and its consequences for the affective value that we attach to the appreciation of art.
Motivationalism vs. interpretationalism about symmetries: some options overlooked in the debate about the relationship between symmetries and physical equivalence
Authors: Luc Joanna 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn the recent philosophical debate about the relationship between symmetries and physical equivalence, two approaches have been distinguished: motivationalism and interpretationalism. In this paper, I point out that there are variants of interpretationalism that have not been taken into account by the proponents of motivationalism. I also argue that some of these overlooked variants of interpretationalism are not prone to the motivationalists’ criticism and overall are the most attractive positions available.

Authors: Mutailipu Munire , Zhang Bohan , Zhu Hongjuan 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
The nutritional status of Diabetic-foot (DF) patients in clinic is not good, and there are fewer studies on the nutritional status of DF patients with different Wagner grades at home and abroad. Therefore, by exploring the nutritional status of DF patients with different Wagner grades and analyzing their related factors, this study aims to provide an effective basis for improving the nutritional status of DF patients and improving their quality of life.

Objective
To explore the nutritional status of diabetic foot (DF) patients with different Wagner grades.

Methods
Using a cross-sectional study method, 577 patients with DF who were hospitalized between February 2020 and January 2023 in our hospital were selected for investigation and were divided into three groups according to Wagner grading of grade 1–2, grade 3, and grade 4–5, and the simple mini-nutritional assessment scale was used to compare the nutritional status scores of patients in the three groups. The correlation between different gender, age, BMI, duration of diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), hemoglobin (Hb), albumin, prealbumin, white blood cell count (WBC), and Wagner grading was compared, and the nutritional status of patients with different Wagner grading was analyzed.

Results
Of the 577 DF patients included in the study, 40.4% are malnourished and 49.0% are at nutritional risk. The score of the mini-nutrition evaluation scale was (20.93 ± 3.67) for patients with Wagner grade 1 ~ 2, (17.30 ± 5.35) for grade 3, and (14.22 ± 5.99) for grade 4 ~ 5. Among patients with different Wagner grades, age, diabetes course, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), white blood cell count (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), albumin, and prealbumin are statistically significant (p < 0.05), and sex and BMI are not statistically significant (p > 0.05).

Conclusions
The nutritional status of patients with Wagner grading 3 ~ 5 is significantly worse than that of patients with Wagner grading 1–2. Age, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, WBC, Hb, albumin, and prealbumin have important effects on the development and prognosis of foot ulcers in patients with DF. Healthcare workers should give targeted interventions and appropriate nutritional support through the screening and comprehensive consideration of relevant factors at an early stage in clinical practice in order to improve the general condition of patients, accelerate the purpose of ulcer healing, and thus improve the quality of life of patients.
Rüstungsindustrie im Kontext eines nachhaltigen Bankwesens – Finden Rüstungsunternehmen einen Platz im ESG-Universum?
Authors: Riegler Markus , Reichel Richard 
Published: August 2023

ZusammenfassungDieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der in der Wissenschaft noch nicht behandelten Fragestellung, ob Rüstungsunternehmen einen Platz im ESG-Universum finden können. Der aktuelle Ausschluss in der gängigen Praxis, als auch die Vorschläge der EU-Sozialtaxonomie, verschärfen die Bedingungen von Rüstungsunternehmen am Finanzmarkt. Gerade aufgrund aktueller geopolitischer Spannungen und im Kontext eines weltweiten Aufrüstens wird die Fragestellung mittels der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring bei Experten des Finanzmarktes, der Rüstungsindustrie als auch der gesellschaftlich-ethischen Vertretung beantwortet. Die Experten bestätigen, dass Rüstung einen Teilaspekt von Sicherheit darstellt und Sicherheit eine Grundbedingung für weitere Nachhaltigkeitsbestrebungen der Gesellschaft ist, jedoch Rüstung als Mittel zur Schaffung von Sicherheit im ESG-Kontext insbesondere von den Sektoren Finanzmarkt und Gesellschaft/Ethik abgelehnt wird. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse lassen Rückschlüsse auf Bedingungen zu, wie eine Aufnahme in das ESG-Universum theoretisch möglich wäre, zeigen aber aus Expertensicht auch ablehnende, teils widersprüchliche Attribute auf.
Matrix quadratic risk of orthogonally invariant estimators for a normal mean matrix
Authors: Matsuda Takeru 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn estimation of a normal mean matrix under the matrix quadratic loss, we develop a general formula for the matrix quadratic risk of orthogonally invariant estimators. The derivation is based on several formulas for matrix derivatives of orthogonally invariant functions of matrices. As an application, we calculate the matrix quadratic risk of a singular value shrinkage estimator motivated by Stein’s proposal for improving on the Efron–Morris estimator 50 years ago.
The differences in crystal structure and phase of lead-free perovskite solar cell materials
Authors: Pering Samuel R. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractHybrid organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite materials have established themselves as a competitive solar cell technology, with high efficiencies and simple processing. However the main drawback of these materials is currently their stability, which is complicated by the potential to release the toxic element lead into the environment. Attempts to replace lead for less-toxic starting materials have generated significant research interest. Any candidate material must have enhanced stability and comparable performance to lead halide perovskites, and an understanding of the structure is key to developing these materials to be competitive. This review provides a brief overview and reference of experimentally determined crystal structures of lead-free perovskite materials. The most promising potential materials are identified as those that maintain a cubic structure, particularly double-perovskite type absorbers.

Abstract
Background
Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is becoming increasingly popular as a treatment for esophageal cancer. The purpose of this study was to use the da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) to perform 111 consecutive cases of radical esophageal cancer and report the perioperative data of surgery and postoperative complications and short-term oncological outcomes.

Methods
We retrospectively analyzed 111 patients who underwent RAMIE conducted at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from August 2016 to January 2021. Each patient’s characteristics, clinicopathological stage, postoperative pathological stage, surgery outcome, postoperative recovery, and short-term oncological outcomes were analyzed.

Results
Of the 111 patients who underwent RAMIE, 77 were male and 34 were female, and the mean age was 62.1 ± 8.8 years. Twenty-seven patients (24.3%) received preoperative neoadjuvant therapies, the most popular of which was preoperative induction chemotherapy in 16 cases (14.4%), followed by preoperative induction radiotherapy in 8 cases (7.2%) and preoperative induction chemotherapy plus immunization in 3 cases (2.7%). The vast majority of patients (110/111, 99.1%) underwent radical resection, with a mean intraoperative bleeding amount of 99.9 ± 68.4 mL and a mean operative time of 271.9 ± 70.0 min. The mean total number of lymph nodes removed was 40.9 ± 16.7, including 21.8 ± 9.0 thoracic lymph nodes. Fifty-five (49.6%) patients had lymph node metastases, including 17 (15.3%) with lymph node metastases in the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, 24 (21.6%) with lymph node metastases in the right recurrent laryngeal nerve, and 7 (6.3%) with lymph node metastases in the bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve. The positive rate of left recurrent nerve lymph nodes was 4.77%, and he positive rate of right recurrent nerve lymph nodes was 8.38%. The main postoperative complications included pulmonary infection in 24 cases (21.6%), celiac disease in 3 cases (2.7%), tracheoesophageal fistula in 1 case (0.9%), anastomotic fistula in 3 cases (2.7%), postoperative cardiac arrhythmias in 11 cases (9.9%), VTE in 3 cases (2.7%), and pleural effusion (requiring postoperative tube drainage) in 13 cases (11.7%). Additionally, 2 cases of postoperative pneumothorax (1.8%), 1 case of poor incision healing (0.9%), 1 case of incomplete bowel obstruction (0.9%), 1 case of neck hematoma (0.9%), and 1 case of postoperative admission to the intensive care unit (0.9%) occurred. The median length of stay was 10.9 ± 6.1 days, and there were no cases of perioperative death.

Conclusions
Robotic esophageal cancer radical surgery is safe and feasible. The surgeon can be proficient in thoracic robotic surgery and mediastinal lymph node dissection and achieve high levels of perioperative safety and short-term efficacy.
Are consumers no longer willing to pay more for local foods? A field experiment
Authors: Davidson Kelly A. , Khanal Badri , Messer Kent D. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractGovernment programs promoting locally produced foods have risen dramatically. But are these programs actually convincing consumers to pay more for locally produced food? Studies to date, which have mostly relied on hypothetical stated preference surveys, suggest that consumers will pay premiums for various local foods and that the premiums vary with the product and presence of any geographic identity. This study reports results from a large field experiment involving 1,050 adult consumers to reveal consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) premiums for “locally produced” foods – mushrooms and oysters. Despite strong statistical power, this study reveals no positive effect of the locally produced label on consumer WTP. These null results are contrary to most of the existing literature on this topic. The finding that consumers are not willing to pay more for local foods has important implications for state and federal agencies that promote labeling campaigns that seek to increase demand and generate premiums for locally produced foods.
