Revitalization of First Nations languages: a Queensland perspective
Authors: O’Brien Grace Marie , Bobongie-Harris Francis 
Published: June 2023

AbstractFirst Nations languages can play a significant role in ensuring connection to land, culture, Songlines, kinship, history, and stories. Ongoing language attrition for First Nations peoples of Australia has been due to colonization and past adverse government policies, which rendered First Nations languages a threat to the expansion of the colony. Through processes of dislocation from country and punishment for speaking language, many First Nations peoples began to lose their languages and were forcefully compelled to speak the English language on missions and reserves. Promoting First Nations languages in early educational contexts can instill a sense of cultural identity and connectedness to schooling for First Nations children, helping to ensure that languages are passed on to future generations. In many parts of Australia, First Nations languages are being revitalized and are being taught to both First Nations children and non-Indigenous children in early learning centers and in classrooms. This paper draws upon existing literature, briefly examining the removal of First Nations languages in Queensland from a historical perspective. The authors consider three essential elements required to work with First Nations communities when revitalizing First Nations languages and implementing a successful language program into schools: co-design, authentic delivery, and cultural inclusivity. We demonstrate how these elements have been used in the revitalization of First Nations languages in two Queensland schools. Finally, the importance of using an Indigenous centered approach to maintain languages at a local level is posited as a critical step in creating culturally inclusive environments for First Nations children in mainstream school settings.
Investigating playful punctuation in children’s narrative and persuasive writing
Authors: Burrell Andrew , Beard Roger 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe writing of 38 9–10-year-old children was used to investigate their use of ludic (playful) punctuation in the composition of two kinds of writing, imaginative narrative and persuasive description. Framed within a consideration of language play in general, and children’s use of punctuation in particular, the investigation revealed the ways in which primary children, without being prompted to do so, use playful punctuation in order to achieve their communicative aims. An in-depth analysis was made of 145 scripts to identify and categorise the playful punctuation used by the children in both kinds of writing. The findings revealed clear differences between the two kinds of writing in how children used playful punctuation. The study illustrates how playful punctuation, as well as being an integral part of the transcriptional aspects of a text, can contribute to its composition; young writers use playful punctuation to contribute to the meaning, purpose and appropriateness of the text for its intended audience. The findings also suggest that such uses—like language play as a whole—warrant further attention in educational research. Future work needs to identify the writing tasks that enable the use of playful punctuation to flourish.
The Application of Computer Medicine in the Investigation of the Health Status of Left-Behind Children Aged 6–12 in Xiangxi
Authors: Zhang Xufeng , Shangguan Lai , Chen Shu 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIn the computer-aided diagnosis system, the use of medical database data mining and knowledge discovery technology is of great significance and necessity of development. To understand the health status of left-behind children in ethnic minority areas, a questionnaire survey and computer-aided technology were used to diagnose and investigate the health status of left-behind children aged 6–12 years in Xiangxi, Hunan Province, such as body shape, physical function and personal cognition. The comparison results show that the body shape, function and perception of left-behind children are not optimistic. The countermeasures are to strengthen policy support, school physical education and the supervision consciousness of the guardian, make the government, schools and families form a joint force, establish a scientific work and leisure system, improve the quality of life, and effectively build the health level of left-behind children.
Epistemic rights violations and epistemic injustice
Authors: McGlynn Aidan 
Published: June 2023

AbstractI offer a detailed discussion of the connections Lani Watson posits in her book The Right to Know between violations of a person’s epistemic rights on the one hand and the distinctively epistemic forms of injustice influentially discussed in the work of Miranda Fricker on the other. I argue that if we specify the content of the relevant epistemic rights (and the corresponding duties of others) carefully enough, it becomes plausible that there is an even tighter relationship between violations of these rights and various epistemic injustices than Watson claims. I close by tabling a speculative suggestion on the significance of this conclusion.
Mapping and assessment of coastal infrastructure for adaptation to coastal erosion along the coast of Ghana

Published: June 2023

AbstractGlobally, coastal managers are challenged to make informed decisions when selecting coastal infrastructure to respond to climate-induced sea-level rise and associated coastal hazards like coastal erosion and flooding. Classifying the types of coastal infrastructure permits the comparison of their potential efficiency, environmental and socioeconomic impacts, and long-term response to sea-level rise. At present, information on coastal infrastructure implemented along the coastal area of Ghana is not known thus creating a research gap to catalog this information. To achieve this, we combined satellite images from Google Earth Pro and the use of ArcGIS capabilities to conduct a national assessment of coastal infrastructure and its distribution along the coast of Ghana. Even though similar approaches have been applied in different geographic contexts, this article focuses on evaluating coastal infrastructure in Ghana. Results show that between 2004 and 2022, at least 110 km or approximately 20% of the coast of Ghana has been protected using grey infrastructure, distributed as groins 35.9 km (6.5%), revetments and seawalls 50 km (9%), and jetties and port breakwaters 25 km (4.5%) of the 550 Km coastline. These do not include the numerous private recreational infrastructure that could increase coastal vulnerability. The increasing use of grey infrastructure, particularly seawalls, and revetments along the coast has adverse impacts on overall coastal evolution and causes socioeconomic challenges. This study supports coastal managers to review coastal adaptation policy and develop shoreline management plans for the coast of Ghana.
Reductive Views of Knowledge and the Small Difference Principle
Authors: Wimmer Simon 
Published: June 2023

AbstractI develop a challenge to reductive views of knowing that $ \phi $ that appeal to what I call a gradable property. Such appeal allows for properties that are intrinsically very similar to the property of knowing that $ \phi $, but differ significantly in their normative significance. This violates the independently plausible claim Pautz (2017) labels the ‘small difference principle.’
New perspectives on morphological and genetic variability of Corynosoma bullosum [Linstow, 1892] parasitizing southern elephant seals from the Antarctic Peninsula
Authors: Soto F.A. , Rodríguez S.M. , Leonardi M.S. , Negrete J. , Cremonte F. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Previous descriptions of Corynosoma bullosum (Linstow, 1892) show that specimens vary greatly in the proportions of different body structures, measurements of females and males, number of rows of hooks, and egg measurements, among other features. We redescribe this species from specimens found in southern elephant seal faeces from King George Island. We also provide a molecular characterization, in addition to 5.8S and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) existing sequences. We examined 41 elephant seals, and 30 adult acanthocephalans were found in 15 of them. The specimens were identified as belonging to the genus Corynosoma due to each having a tubular body with an inflated anterior part forming a thorny disk and the posterior part bearing somatic spines on the ventral surface, and genital spines surrounding the genital pore. Individual morphology corresponded to C. bullosum: large size, marked sexual dimorphism, and proboscis with 16–18 rows of spines with 11–15 spines per row. The molecular profile of three specimens of C. bullosum was analysed using 18S rDNA. We inferred phylogenetic relationships of the family Polymorphidae using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. We provide an updated morphological redescription for C. bullosum including electron microscopy photographs and molecular data. The 18S gene sequences showed low genetic variation and supported that C. bullosum is a sister to Corynosoma australe.
Facsimiles of yore: printing technology and the page image in the Japanese Government General of Korea’s reproduction of historical sources
Authors: Reynolds Graeme R. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractDuring the 1930s the Japanese Government General of Korea’s Society for the Compilation of Korean History commissioned facsimiles of some 21 rare historical sources to accompany the publication of the colossalHistory of Korea(Chōsenshi 朝鮮史), funnelling select xylographic, typographic, and chirographic products of the defunct Chosŏn dynasty’s book ecology through offset lithography and collotype, and on occasion movable type. This article investigates the Society for the Compilation of Korean History’s collection and classification of historical materials against the larger backdrop of colonial knowledge production, illuminates the different economic and editorial logics of the new printing technologies used to produce the facsimiles, and examines the products as one example of the significance of facsimiles in the field of history. It suggests that the interplay of traditional print media, dominated by woodblock prints, and the new photomechanical means of reproduction, allowed for the swift reproduction of the unfolded page image and the easy utilization of traditional-style binding, permitting the Society to create purposefully antiquated reproductions with a high degree of fidelity to the original. At the same time, the use of modern materials (paper, string, and covers) and certain features common to traditional Japanese book binding meant that the facsimiles were irrevocably hybrid. These facsimiles ended up in a wide range of research libraries, representing the Korean past to the scholarly community in the Japanese empire.
Actors, activities, and forms of authority in the IPCC
Authors: Hughes Hannah 
Published: June 2023

AbstractScholarship on global environmental assessments call for these organisations to become more reflexive to address challenges around participation, inclusivity of perspectives, and responsivity to the policy domains they inform. However, there has been less call for reflexivity in IPCC scholarship or closer examination of how routine concepts condition scholarly understanding by focusing on science and politics over other social dynamics. In this article, I suggest that scholarly reflexivity could advance new analytical approaches that provide practical insights for changing organisational structures. Through reflecting on my understanding of the IPCC, I develop actors, activities, and forms of authority as a new analytical framework for studying international organisations and knowledge bodies. Through its application, I describe the social order of the IPCC within and between the panel, the bureau, the technical support units, the secretariat and the authors, which is revealing of which actors, on the basis of what authority, have symbolic power over the writing of climate change. The fine-grained analysis of organisations enabled by this analytical framework reveals how dominance can and is being remade through intergovernmental relations and potentially, identifies avenues that managers of these bodies can pursue to challenge it.
Kinematic directional index for the performance of redundant manipulators
Authors: Boschetti Giovanni , Minto Riccardo 
Published: June 2023

AbstractPerformance indexes are a powerful tool to evaluate the behavior of industrial manipulators throughout their workspace and improve their performance. When dealing with intrinsically redundant manipulators, the additional joint influences their performance; hence, it is fundamental to consider the influence of the redundant joint when evaluating the performance index. This work improves the formulation of the kinematic directional index (KDI) by considering redundant manipulators. The KDI represents an improvement over traditional indexes, as it takes into account the direction of motion when evaluating the performance of a manipulator. However, in its current formulation, it is not suitable for redundant manipulators. Therefore, we extend the index to redundant manipulators. This is achieved by adopting a geometric approach that allows identifying the appropriate redundancy to maximize the velocity of a serial manipulator along the direction of motion. This approach is applied to a 4-degree-of-freedom (DOF) planar redundant manipulator and a 7-DOF spatial articulated one. Experimental validation for the articulated robot is presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method and its advantages.
Financial feasibility of selling frozen produce in local and regional markets
Authors: Fitzsimmons Jill Ann , Lass Daniel , Minifie Kate , Kinchla Amanda J. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Farmers and food entrepreneurs are encouraged to enter direct and intermediated markets for value-added food products, but do not have information that they need to determine whether the markets are financially feasible for their operations. We conduct timed trials in a state-of-the-art regional shared-use food processing facility in the Northeast, and test production costs for two high-quality, safe, value-added frozen products: blueberries and spinach. We combine this with research on capital costs, field research on distribution costs and baseline per-unit revenues, and published research on potential market returns, and assess the conditions under which frozen produce sales can be a good business choice for farmers and food businesses in local and regional food markets. We develop a roadmap and a calculator tool that potential market entrants, extension agents, regional food business centers and other agricultural support providers can modify to reflect local and regional market conditions. The tool can help determine whether entering the frozen produce market is a good fit for a farm or food business. In general, we find that frozen regional blueberries have potential to generate a profitable return for medium-scale farmers with access to a shared-use facility, or farmer aggregators with the ability to invest in their own facilities. Frozen regional spinach is unlikely to generate a profitable return at the regional scale. Our results provide critical information to policy makers regarding the scale of production necessary to justify investments in regional shared-used kitchens. Results also suggest that policy makers should be cautious when encouraging farmers and food businesses to enter value-added markets, as there is significant potential for these markets to under-perform.
The costs of recognition: global politics, religion, and the colonial history of South Asia
Authors: Birnbaum Maria 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIn this article I consider religion in international political scholarship and suggest a study of its epistemological politics and conceptual history. I argue that scholarship which strives to ‘engage’ or ‘recognize’ religion in global politics remain ignorant of the costs involved. Building on this argument, I ask if the troubles with recognizing religion reflect more basic qualities of recognition scholarship. Following the work by Jacques Rancière, Patchen Markell, Elizabeth Povinelli, and Jens Bartelson I argue that recognition has two faces and that along with its frequently acknowledged empowering aspect, it also comes with costs. In order to assess the costs of recognition I propose a study of its conditions of possibility, that is, a study of the ways in which the subjects of recognition become recognizable as such. In the final section of the paper, I apply this to the example of religion in global politics and the formation of the Muslim subject in the lead-up to the partition of British India and the founding of Pakistan.
First carnivorous fungus from Santonian Taimyr amber
Authors: SUKHOMLYN Maryna M. , PERKOVSKY Evgeny E. 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACTMycelium from the Yantardakh Lagerstätte (Santonian of Taimyr) is reported. Its hyphae are arranged mostly parallel, weakly branched and septated. The clamp connections indicate the Basidiomycota affinity. Two types of outgrowths are formed on the mycelium, located perpendicular to the parent hypha: the former rather long and common; and the latter are short peg-shaped, formed with a lower frequency. Arthroconidia and large spherical structures, looking like exudate drops are observed upon hyphae. Hyphae rings similar to the trapping loops of extant Basidiomycota have been found. Altogether, these rings, numerous drops and peg-like hyphal outgrowths may be interpreted as this mycelium belongs to nematophagous fungus of Agaricomycetes. Thus, this is the first finding of mycelium putatively nematophagous Basidiomycota from the Cretaceous of North Asia, which also implies the presence of nematodes in the Taimyr amber forest.
Relation of pest insect-killing and soilborne pathogen-inhibition abilities to species diversification in environmental Pseudomonas protegens

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Strains belonging to the Pseudomonas protegens phylogenomic subgroup have long been known for their beneficial association with plant roots, notably antagonising soilborne phytopathogens. Interestingly, they can also infect and kill pest insects, emphasising their interest as biocontrol agents. In the present study, we used all available Pseudomonas genomes to reassess the phylogeny of this subgroup. Clustering analysis revealed the presence of 12 distinct species, many of which were previously unknown. The differences between these species also extend to the phenotypic level. Most of the species were able to antagonise two soilborne phytopathogens, Fusarium graminearum and Pythium ultimum, and to kill the plant pest insect Pieris brassicae in feeding and systemic infection assays. However, four strains failed to do so, likely as a consequence of adaptation to particular niches. The absence of the insecticidal Fit toxin explained the non-pathogenic behaviour of the four strains towards Pieris brassicae. Further analyses of the Fit toxin genomic island evidence that the loss of this toxin is related to non-insecticidal niche specialisation. This work expands the knowledge on the growing Pseudomonas protegens subgroup and suggests that loss of phytopathogen inhibition and pest insect killing abilities in some of these bacteria may be linked to species diversification processes involving adaptation to particular niches. Our work sheds light on the important ecological consequences of gain and loss dynamics for functions involved in pathogenic host interactions of environmental bacteria.
Local γδ T cells: translating promise to practice in cancer immunotherapy
Authors: Zlatareva Iva , Wu Yin 
Published: June 2023

AbstractRapid bench-to-bedside translation of basic immunology to cancer immunotherapy has revolutionised the clinical practice of oncology over the last decade. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting αβ T cells now offer durable remissions and even cures for some patients with hitherto treatment-refractory metastatic cancers. Unfortunately, these treatments only benefit a minority of patients and efforts to improve efficacy through combination therapies utilising αβ T cells have seen diminishing returns. Alongside αβ T cells and B cells, γδ T cells are a third lineage of adaptive lymphocytes. Less is known about these cells, and they remain relatively untested in cancer immunotherapy. Whilst preclinical evidence supports their utility, the few early-phase trials involving γδ T cells have failed to demonstrate convincing efficacy in solid cancers. Here we review recent progress in our understanding of how these cells are regulated, especially locally within tissues, and the potential for translation. In particular, we focus on the latest advances in the field of butyrophilin (BTN) and BTN-like (BTNL) regulation of γδ T cells and speculate on how these advances may address the limitations of historical approaches in utilising these cells, as well as how they may inform novel approaches in deploying these cells for cancer immunotherapy.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe recognition of inner speech, which could give a ‘voice’ to patients that have no ability to speak or move, is a challenge for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). A shortcoming of the available datasets is that they do not combine modalities to increase the performance of inner speech recognition. Multimodal datasets of brain data enable the fusion of neuroimaging modalities with complimentary properties, such as the high spatial resolution of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the temporal resolution of electroencephalography (EEG), and therefore are promising for decoding inner speech. This paper presents the first publicly available bimodal dataset containing EEG and fMRI data acquired nonsimultaneously during inner-speech production. Data were obtained from four healthy, right-handed participants during an inner-speech task with words in either a social or numerical category. Each of the 8-word stimuli were assessed with 40 trials, resulting in 320 trials in each modality for each participant. The aim of this work is to provide a publicly available bimodal dataset on inner speech, contributing towards speech prostheses.
