AbstractThe maleo (Macrocephalon maleo) of Sulawesi, Indonesia, is culturally iconic and Critically Endangered, but the causes of its decline have never been systematically analyzed nor its nesting grounds comprehensively surveyed. We visited 122 previously known and 58 previously unrecorded sites, collecting data and interviewing local people at each site. We used ordinal logistic regression to fit models with combinations of 18 different predation, habitat, and nesting ground variables to determine the strongest predictors of nesting ground success, as represented by maleo numbers. At least 56% of known nesting grounds are now inactive (abandoned), and 63% of remaining active sites host ≤ 2 pairs/day at peak season. Egg-taking by humans is the single biggest driver of maleo decline. Protecting eggs in situ predicts higher maleo numbers than protecting eggs through hatchery methods. After egg-taking, quality (not length) of the travel corridor connecting nesting ground to primary forest best predicts nesting ground success. Being inside a federally protected area is not a primary driver of success, and does not ensure persistence: 28% of federally protected nesting grounds have become inactive. Local conservation efforts protected nesting grounds 2‒3 times better than federal protection. We update the methodology for assessing nesting ground status, and recommend five measures for maleo conservation, the foremost being to protect nesting grounds from egg-taking by humans at all remaining active sites.

Abstract
Purpose
To examine associations between ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) patients’ characteristics, treating locations and DCIS treatments received and to pilot assessing quality-of-life (QoL) values among DCIS patients with diverse backgrounds.

Methods
We performed a retrospective tumor registry review of all patients diagnosed and treated with DCIS from 2018 to 2019 in the UPMC-integrated network throughout central and western Pennsylvania. Demographics, clinical information, and administered treatments were compiled from tumor registry records. We categorized contextual factors such as different hospital setting (academic vs. community), socioeconomic status based on the neighborhood deprivation index (NDI) as well as age and race. QoL survey was administered to DCIS patients with diverse backgrounds via QoL questionnaire breast cancer module 23 and qualitative assessment questions.

Results
A total of 912 patients were reviewed. There were no treatment differences noted for age, race, or NDI. Mastectomy rate was higher in academic sites than community sites (29 vs. 20.4%; p = 0.0045), while hormone therapy (HT) utilization rate was higher in community sites (74 vs. 62%; p = 0.0012). QoL survey response rate was 32%. Only HT side effects negatively affected in QoL scores and there was no significant difference in QoL domains and decision-making process between races, age, NDI, treatment groups, and treatment locations.

Conclusion
Our integrated health network did not show chronically noted disparities arising from social determinates of health for DCIS treatments by implementing clinical pathways and system-wide peer review. Also, we demonstrated feasibility in collecting QoL for DCIS women with diverse backgrounds and different socioeconomic statuses.
Right and Wrong: Assessing Scalar Consequentialism
Authors: McElwee Brian 
Published: December 2022

AbstractDemoralising ethical theory involves eschewing the deontic categories of moral obligation, moral permissibility, and moral impermissibility from our ethical thought. In this paper, I evaluate the case made in Alastair Norcross’s recent book, Morality By Degrees (2020), for a consequentialist version of such demoralisation. Norcross defends scalar consequentialism, a radical variant of consequentialism which restricts fundamental normative verdicts to a scalar ranking of available actions, ordered according to the goodness of the consequences they produce. Following an introductory Sect. 1, I assess the positive case for scalar consequentialism in Sect. 2, concluding that no strong case has been made for the view. In Sect. 3, I assess the case against the view, concluding that while scalar consequentialism may be able to avoid the action-guidingness objection, it falls foul of the force objection. In Sect. 4, I expand on this critique, showing that Norcross gives an unstable account of how to assess attitudes, such as desires, beliefs and emotions. In Sect. 5, I argue that appeal to a contextualist reductionism does little to make the scalar view appealing.
Plato’s Ideas in Lotze’s Light—On Husserl’s Reading of Lotze’s Logik
Authors: Arnold Thomas 
Published: December 2022

AbstractRecent scholarship has shed more light on the relationship between Husserl and Lotze. And Husserl indeed claims of Lotze that “his inspired interpretation of the Platonic doctrine of Forms […] put up a bright first light and determined all further studies” (2002a, 297). In this paper I will try to answer the question what exactly Husserl saw in this “bright light”—the answer being much more complicated than “Platonism.” As I will show, Lotze misreads Plato, but in interesting ways, and Husserl in turn misreads Lotze. In other words, this paper is about a misreading of a misreading—yet one fundamental for the development of phenomenology in that Husserl’s engagement with Lotze enabled him (a) to expand and differentiate his own anti-reductionism in regard to ideal entities, leading him to two forms of what he calls “Platonism,” one of which even runs contrary to Lotze’s own account, and (b) to conceive of a method to gain truths about the material apriori. After a brief introduction, I will discuss (1) Lotze’s interpretation of Plato, (2) what Husserl took from it, and finally (3) Plato’s Platonism, to substantiate my claims1.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic is associated with crucial changes in children’s daily life including their physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST). Among preschool children, the family represents an important factor for sufficient PA levels by being the gatekeeper for PA. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the family environment, specifically SES, parental support, and having siblings on COVID-19-related changes of PA and ST behavior in 317 (170 boys, 147 girls) German preschool children using longitudinal data. Our results indicate a decline in total amount of sports-related PA, an increase in outdoor play, as well as an increase in leisure ST in preschool children. The changes in total amount of PA differed between children with different levels of parental support as well as in dependence on having siblings. Furthermore, levels of outdoor play and ST in preschool children were influenced by environmental factors like having access to their own garden. We conclude that the family environment (parental support as well as physical environment) is highly relevant for PA and ST levels in preschool children. To provide every child with PA opportunities during potential future lockdowns, restriction policies should be adapted and parents need sophisticated information about the importance of their support and thus the PA levels of their children.
No need for mineness: Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder and mental state types
Authors: Knappik Franz 
Published: December 2022

AbstractDepersonalization/Derealization Disorder (DPD) is a psychopathological condition in which subjects suffer from a massive alienation from themselves and the world around them. In recent years, several philosophers have proposed accounts that explain DPD in terms of an alteration in global features of normal consciousness, such as ‘mineness’. This article criticizes such accounts and develops an alternative approach, based on the observation that many mental states relate to the subject because of the kind of state they belong to. I argue that most symptoms of DPD can be understood as impairments in such forms of self-relation.
Women and key positions in scientific collaboration networks: analyzing central scientists’ profiles in the artificial intelligence ecosystem through a gender lens
Authors: Hajibabaei Anahita , Schiffauerova Andrea , Ebadi Ashkan 
Published: December 2022

AbstractScientific collaboration in almost every discipline is mainly driven by the need of sharing knowledge, expertise, and pooled resources. Science is becoming more complex which has encouraged scientists to involve more in collaborative research projects in order to better address the challenges. As a highly interdisciplinary field with a rapidly evolving scientific landscape, artificial intelligence calls for researchers with special profiles covering a diverse set of skills and expertise. Understanding gender aspects of scientific collaboration is of paramount importance, especially in a field such as artificial intelligence that has been attracting large investments. Using social network analysis, natural language processing, and machine learning and focusing on artificial intelligence publications for the period from 2000 to 2019, in this work, we comprehensively investigated the effects of several driving factors on acquiring key positions in scientific collaboration networks through a gender lens. It was found that, regardless of gender, scientific performance in terms of quantity and impact plays a crucial part in possessing the “social researcher” role in the network. However, subtle differences were observed between female and male researchers in acquiring the “local influencer” role.
The (dis)integration of nursing students. Multiple transitions, fragmented integration and implications for retention
Authors: Sweetman Rachel , Hovdhaugen Elisabeth , Thomas Liz 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThere are widespread concerns about a shortage of nurses in society, making it vital to educate and retain as many nursing students as possible. This paper interrogates the fit and relevance of established models for student retention, particularly Tinto’s model of student departure and its central notion of ‘integration’. Early social and academic integration of students is generally important to promote persistence and prevent early departure. We consider how integration plays out in degrees with extensive practice placements in clinical settings and large degree programme cohorts, investigating the challenges for persistence. Additionally, we question how well Tinto’s understanding of integration fits with the structure and format of the nursing programme. Building on comparative interviews with 2ndand 3rdyear nursing students in Norway and England, we argue that common understandings about how students are integrated into degree programmes are unlikely to fit the case of nursing. As this programme takes place at multiple sites, the integration process is often experienced as fragmented or interrupted. We find many nursing students describe a prolonged liminal state of disrupted integration, posing challenges for motivation, and greater risk of leaving. We suggest this is driven by shifts between practice and academic sites, combined with institutional practices which encourage frequent changes of peer group, physical location and academic network, all of which interrupt integration processes. Finally, the paper offers suggestions of institutional scope to promote integration within nursing degrees.

Abstract
Eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.), one of the most valuable timber and veneer trees in North America, provides nut shells with unique industrial uses and nut kernels with distinctive culinary attributes. A mature F1 full-sib progeny orchard of 248 individuals from the cross of two eastern black walnut cultivars provides a long-term resource for discovering genetic mechanisms controlling life history, quality traits, and stress resistance. The genetic linkage map, constructed with 356 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and 62 expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeats (EST-SSRs), is 1645.7 cM in length, distributed across the expected 16 linkage groups. In this first application of QTL mapping in J. nigra, we report QTL for budbreak, peak pistillate bloom, peak staminate bloom, and heterodichogamy. A dominant major QTL for heterodichogamy is reported, the sequence for which is syntenic with the heterodichogamy QTL on chromosome 11 of Persian walnut (J. regia L.). The mapping population parents are both protogynous, and segregation suggests a Mendelian component, with a 3:1-like inheritance pattern from heterozygous parents. Mapping the sequenced EST-SSR markers to the J. regia “Chandler” V2.0 genome sequence revealed evidence for collinearity and structural changes on two of the sixteen chromosomes. The inclusion of sequenced EST-SSR markers enables the direct comparison of this and subsequent J. nigra maps and other Juglandaceae genetic maps. This investigation initiates long-term QTL detection studies for quality and stress resistance traits in black walnut.

AbstractAmbient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposures during pregnancy could lead to adverse birth outcomes, including neurobehavioral development defects. However, limited studies explored the effects and potential epigenetic mechanisms of maternal PM2.5 exposure on offspring spatial memory defects. This study aims to explore the effects and underlying epigenetic mechanisms of maternal concentrated ambient PM2.5 exposure in male mice offspring with spatial memory defects. Pregnant female C57BL/6 mice were exposed daily to concentrated ambient PM2.5 (CAP) or filtered air (FA) throughout gestation, with the concentration of particulates (102.99 ± 78.74 μg/m3) and (2.78 ± 1.19 μg/m3), respectively. Adult male mice offspring were subsequently assessed for spatial learning and memory ability using Morris Water Maze tests and locomotor activities in open field tests. The hippocampus of the male mice offspring was harvested to test mRNA expression and DNA methylation. Results from the probe test of Morris Water Maze showed that the mice offspring in the CAP group had shorter swimming distance travelled in the target quadrant, shorter duration in the target quadrant, and less number of entries into the target quadrant (p < 0.05), suggesting spatial memory impairments. The acquisition trials of Morris Water Maze did not show a significant difference in learning ability between the groups. The mRNA level of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in the CAP group hippocampus (10.80 ± 7.03) increased significantly compared to the FA group (1.08 ± 0.43). Interestingly, the methylation levels of the CpG sites in the IL-6 promoter region declined significantly in the CAP group, (5.66 ± 0.83)% vs. (4.79 ± 0.48)%. Prenatal exposure to concentrated ambient PM2.5 induced long-lasting spatial memory defects in male mice offspring. The underlying biological mechanism might be mediated by an inflammatory reaction which is regulated by DNA methylation.

AbstractSeveral modifiable lifestyle factors have been linked to cognitive ability and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Health coaching (HC) is an intervention that addresses lifestyle factors associated with cognition. The effectiveness of an HC protocol was evaluated and compared with a health education (HE) intervention, representing the current standard of care, in a sample of 216 adults between the ages of 45 and 75 years who were at-risk for developing ADRD. Outcomes examined were global cognition, neuropsychological cognition, and Alzheimer’s risk. HC participants received personalized coaching from a health coach focusing on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, social engagement, and cognitive activity. HE participants received biweekly education materials focusing on the same modifiable lifestyle factors addressed by HC. Participants were assessed at baseline and again 4 months later. Self-reported global cognition scores improved only in the HC group (16.18 to 15.52, p = .03) and neuropsychological cognitive ability improved in the HE group (104.48 to 108.76, p < .001). When non-adherence in the HC group was accounted for, however, the mean change in neuropsychological score was similar between groups (p > .05), self-reported global cognition demonstrated an even larger mean improvement in the HC group (16.20 to 15.41, p = .01), and the HC group saw an improvement in ADRD protective risk score (− 10.39 to − 11.45, p = .007). These results indicate that HC and HE can both improve cognition, but HC may be more effective and may yield increased protection against ADRD risk.

AbstractFluorinated heterocycles play a vital role in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Hence, rapid and efficient construction of fluorinated heterocycles remains highly demanded. Herein, a difluoroalkylative carbonylative cyclization of unactivated alkenes and ethylene gas enabled by palladium catalysis has been developed for the first time toward the synthesis of α-carbonyl difluoro-modified glutarimides. This procedure can also be applied to the synthesis of GeMigliptin which is a medicine approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Relationship between acoustic emission and energy dissipation: a DEM study of soil–structure interaction
Authors: Li Shijin , Smith Alister 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAcoustic emission (AE) monitoring offers the potential to sense particle-scale interactions that lead to macro-scale responses of granular materials; however, there remains a paucity of understanding of the fundamental links between particle-scale mechanisms and AE generation in particulate materials, which limits interpretation of the measured AE. The objective of this study was to establish links between particulate-scale energies and AE activity measured at the macro-scale in experiments. To achieve this, a programme of 3D DEM simulations was performed on granular soil/steel structure interfaces and the results were compared with experimental measurements. The findings show that the fundamental particulate-scale mechanisms that contribute to AE generation are friction and damping in particulate rearrangement, with friction being the dominant mechanism (i.e. > 95% of the total energy). Dissipated plastic energy was influenced in the same way as measured AE activity by unload–reload behaviour, imposed stress level, mobilised shearing resistance, and shearing velocity. Relationships have been established between AE and dissipated plastic energy (R2from 0.96 to 0.99), which show AE generated per Joule of dissipated plastic energy is significantly greater in shearing than compression. A general expression has been proposed that links AE and plastic energy dissipation. This new knowledge enables improved interpretation of AE measurements and underpins the development of theoretical and numerical approaches to model and predict AE behaviour in particulate materials.
Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering and Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Detection of Aldehydes Using 4-ATP Functionalized Ag Nanorods
Authors: Sinha Rajeev K. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractFormaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and benzaldehyde are well-known carcinogens affecting human health adversely. Thus, there is a need for efficient detection of these aldehydes. This work uses 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) functionalized silver nanorods (Ag NRs) to detect these three aldehydes. The detection mode includes localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The LSPR band of 4-ATP functionalized Ag NRs shows a linear decrease in absorbance with the increase in formaldehyde and acetaldehyde concentrations. A sensitivity of 0.96 and 0.79 ΔA/mM for formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were obtained. In the case of benzaldehyde, a nearly exponential decrease in absorbance with the increase in concentrations was observed. Above 98.4 μM concentration, the absorbance diminishes completely. The LoD for formaldehyde and acetaldehyde detection using LSPR is 33.8 and 24.6 μM, respectively. The SERS studies reveal that the 4-ATP binds to Ag NRs through both –SH and –NH2 groups and facilitates the inter-particle charge transfer process. The appearance of b2 modes of vibration for 4-ATP evidences this charge transfer process. In the presence of aldehydes, the change in the band shape, relative intensities, and band position were observed primarily in b2 modes of vibration, evidencing the modulation in the charge transfer process. These remarkable changes were seen in μM concentration of aldehydes. Therefore, detection of these aldehydes with 4-ATP functionalized Ag NRs using SERS is possible in concentrations as low as ~ 1 μM.
Policy uncertainty and corporate investment: public versus private firms
Authors: Dreyer Christian , Schulz Oliver 
Published: December 2022

AbstractUsing a sample of comparably sized public listed and private firms from nine European countries, we show that public firms reduce their investments by about 50% more than private firms in response to an increase in policy-related uncertainty. We find suggestive evidence that this can be explained by public firms’ management being typically subject to greater shareholder scrutiny than private firms’ management. Furthermore, only public firms invest more efficiently when confronted with uncertainty. Thus, private firms may benefit from emulating the decision-making processes of public firms in uncertain times.
