AbstractAdvocates, practitioners and policy‐makers continue to use and advocate for marine protected areas (MPAs) to meet global ocean protection targets. Yet many of the worlds MPAs, and especially no‐take MPAs, are plagued by poaching and ineffective governance. Using a global dataset on coral reefs as an example, we quantify the potential ecological gains of governing MPAs to increase compliance, which we call the ‘compliance gap’. Using ecological simulations based on model posteriors of joint Bayesian hierarchical models, we demonstrate how increased compliance in no‐take MPAs could nearly double target fish biomass (91% increases in median fish biomass), and result in a 292% higher likelihood of encountering top predators. Achieving these gains and closing the compliance gap necessitates a substantial shift in approach and practice to go beyond optimizing enforcement, and towards governing for compliance. This will require engaging and integrating a broad suite of actors, principles, and practices across three key domains: (i)) harnessing social influence, (ii) integrating equity principles, and (iii) aligning incentives through market‐based instruments. Empowering and shaping communication between actor groups (e.g., between fishers, practitioners, and policy‐makers) using theoretically underpinned approaches from the behavioural sciences is one of the most essential, but often underserved aspects of governing MPAs. We therefore close by highlighting how this cross‐cutting tool could be further integrated in governance to bolster high levels of compliance in MPAs.

AbstractThe Pacific Arctic marine ecosystem has undergone rapid changes in recent years due to ocean warming, sea ice loss, and increased northward transport of Pacific‐origin waters into the Arctic. These climate‐mediated changes have been linked to range shifts of juvenile and adult subarctic (boreal) and Arctic fish populations, though it is unclear whether distributional changes are also occurring during the early life stages. We analyzed larval fish abundance and distribution data sampled in late summer from 2010 to 2019 in two interconnected Pacific Arctic ecosystems: the northern Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, to determine whether recent warming and loss of sea ice has restricted habitat for Arctic species and altered larval fish assemblage composition from Arctic‐ to boreal‐associated taxa. Multivariate analyses revealed the presence of three distinct multi‐species assemblages across all years: (1) a boreal assemblage dominated by yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera), capelin (Mallotus catervarius), and walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus); (2) an Arctic assemblage composed of Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) and other common Arctic species; and (3) a mixed assemblage composed of the dominant species from the other two assemblages. We found that the wind‐ and current‐driven northward advection of warmer, subarctic waters and the unprecedented low‐ice conditions observed in the northern Bering and Chukchi seas beginning in 2017 and persisting into 2018 and 2019 have precipitated community‐wide shifts, with the boreal larval fish assemblage expanding northward and offshore and the Arctic assemblage retreating poleward. We conclude that Arctic warming is most significantly driving changes in abundance at the leading and trailing edges of the Chukchi Sea larval fish community as boreal species increase in abundance and Arctic species decline. Our analyses document how quickly larval fish assemblages respond to environmental change and reveal that the impacts of Arctic borealization on fish community composition spans multiple life stages over large spatial scales.
Global leaf‐trait mapping based on optimality theory

Published: April 2023

AbstractAimLeaf traits are central to plant function, and key variables in ecosystem models. However recently published global trait maps, made by applying statistical or machine‐learning techniques to large compilations of trait and environmental data, differ substantially from one another. This paper aims to demonstrate the potential of an alternative approach, based on eco‐evolutionary optimality theory, to yield predictions of spatio‐temporal patterns in leaf traits that can be independently evaluated.InnovationGlobal patterns of community‐mean specific leaf area (SLA) and photosynthetic capacity (Vcmax) are predicted from climate via existing optimality models. Then leaf nitrogen per unit area (Narea) and mass (Nmass) are inferred using their (previously derived) empirical relationships to SLA and Vcmax. Trait data are thus reserved for testing model predictions across sites. Temporal trends can also be predicted, as consequences of environmental change, and compared to those inferred from leaf‐level measurements and/or remote‐sensing methods, which are an increasingly important source of information on spatio‐temporal variation in plant traits.Main conclusionsModel predictions evaluated against site‐mean trait data from > 2,000 sites in the Plant Trait database yielded R2 = 73% for SLA, 38% for Nmass and 28% for Narea. Declining species‐level Nmass, and increasing community‐level SLA, have both been recently reported and were both correctly predicted. Leaf‐trait mapping via optimality theory holds promise for macroecological applications, including an improved understanding of community leaf‐trait responses to environmental change.

Published: April 2023

AbstractNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging is a promising method for estimating hydraulic conductivity (K). During the past ∼60 years, NMR logging has been used for petroleum applications, and different models have been developed for deriving estimates of permeability. These models involve calibration parameters whose values were determined through decades of research on sandstones and carbonates. We assessed the use of five models to derive estimates ofKin glacial aquifers from NMR logging data acquired in two wells at each of two field sites in central Wisconsin, USA. Measurements ofK, obtained with a direct push permeameter (DPP),KDPP, were used to obtain the calibration parameters in the Schlumberger‐Doll Research, Seevers, Timur‐Coates, Kozeny‐Godefroy, and sum‐of‐echoes (SOE) models so as to predictKfrom the NMR data; and were also used to assess the ability of the models to predictKDPP. We obtained four well‐scale calibration parameter values for each model using the NMR and DPP measurements in each well; and one study‐scale parameter value for each model by using all data. The SOE model achieved an agreement withKDPPthat matched or exceeded that of the other models. The Timur‐Coates estimates ofKwere found to be substantially different fromKDPP. Although the well‐scale parameter values for the Schlumberger‐Doll, Seevers, and SOE models were found to vary by less than a factor of 2, more research is needed to confirm their general applicability so that site‐specific calibration is not required to obtain accurate estimates ofKfrom NMR logging data.

SummaryThe antioxidant property of rosemary extract as a natural antioxidant on the oxidation process of canola oil has been reported and compared with the synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (at 200 mg Lˉ1). The effect of free and liposomal encapsulated rosemary extract at concentrations of 200, 600 and 1000 mg Lˉ1 was evaluated on improving the oxidative stability of canola oil at 120°C using the Rancimat method. The changes in peroxide value, anisidine, TOTOX and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) have been determined by the Schaal oven test at 60°C. Liposomal rosemary extracts were prepared by the Mozafari method. Then physicochemical properties (Z‐potential, particle size and encapsulation efficiency (EE)) were determined. EE and the Z‐potential of liposomes were obtained at 54.59% and −65.1 mV, respectively. The particle size of empty and extract containing liposomes was determined 583.5 nm and 265.4 nm, respectively. The total polyphenol content of the rosemary extract by reagent of the Folin–Ciocalteu's phenol was determined as 164.2 mg gallic acid gˉ1 extract. Also, the activity of free radical scavenging of both liposomal encapsulated and free extracts, by the 2‐2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, were 84.57% and 92.5%, respectively. The induction periods of oil containing liposomal rosemary extract at 600, 1000 mg Lˉ1 and free extract in level 1000 mg Lˉ1 was higher in comparison with samples containing BHT and blank (P ≤ 0.05). The incorporation of rosemary extract especially in liposome form into oil delayed the oxidation process. Based on the results of this study, to inhibit oil oxidation, rosemary extract, especially in the liposomal form, can be applied instead of synthetic antioxidants such as BHT.

Published: April 2023

AbstractTwo mechanical properties, fracture toughness (KIC) and bending strength (σ), of silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramics were determined from their microstructural images via convolutional neural network (CNN) models. The Si3N4 samples used for database were fabricated using various kinds of sintering additives under different process conditions. In total, 330 data sets were prepared and used for building the CNN models for artificial intelligence‐bassed determination of the two mechanical properties and testing the determination accuracy of the trained models. The determination coefficients (R2), which were used as accuracy indices, were approximately 0.85 for KIC and 0.92 for σ. Although both the R2 values were relatively high, the lower value for KIC suggests that it is influenced more by what is little obtained from the microstructural information, such as grain‐boundary characteristics. Furthermore, gradient‐weighted class activation mapping, which can visualize which parts of the image the CNN models focus on, showed that the trained models determined the two mechanical properties based on correct recognition of the microstructural difference among the images.
Unconventional Monetary Policy and the Behavior of Shorts

Published: April 2023

AbstractWe investigate the behavior of shorts, considered sophisticated investors, before and after a set of Federal Reserve unconventional monetary policy announcements that spot bond markets did not fully anticipate. Short interest in agency securities systematically predicts bond price changes and other asset returns on the days of monetary announcements, particularly when growth or monetary news is released, indicating shorts correctly anticipate these surprises. Shorts also systematically rebalance after announcements in the direction of the announcement surprise when the announcement releases monetary or growth news, suggesting that shorts interpret these announcements to imply further yield changes in the same direction.

Published: April 2023

IntroductionBlack pregnant individuals endure a disproportionate burden of preventable morbidity and mortality due to persistent, racially mediated social and systemic inequities. As patient advocates, Black community‐based doulas help address these disparities via unique services not provided by conventional doulas. However, Black doulas themselves may encounter obstacles when providing care to Black perinatal clients. We characterized the barriers encountered by Black community‐based doulas in Los Angeles, California.MethodsWe partnered with a Black community‐based doula program to conduct semistructured interviews with its community doulas and program directors, covering the following topics: motivations for becoming a doula, services provided, and challenges faced as a Black doula in perinatal settings. Interview transcripts were reviewed via directed content analysis, with attention to the influence of systemic racism on service provision. Additionally, our research team used Camara Jones’ Levels of Racism, which describes race‐associated differences in health outcomes to code data.ResultsWe interviewed 5 Black community‐based doulas and 2 program directors, who all shared experiences of inequitable care and bias against Black clients that could be addressed with the support and advocacy of culturally congruent doulas. The community doulas shared experiences of stigma as Black doulas, compounded by racial prejudice. Interviewees noted sources of structural racism affecting program development, instances of interpersonal racism as they interacted with the health care system, and internalized racism that was revealed during culturally based doula trainings. Additionally, the doulas emphasized the importance of cultural concordance, or a shared identity with clients, which they considered integral to providing equitable care.ConclusionDespite facing institutionalized, interpersonal, and internalized forms of racism, Black community‐based doulas provide avenues for Black birthing individuals to navigate systemic racism experienced during the perinatal process. However, these forms of racism need to be addressed for Black community doulas to flourish.
Melatonin improves skin barrier damage caused by sleep restriction through gut microbiota

Published: April 2023

AbstractIt is widely known that lack of sleep damages the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the relationship between sleep deprivation and skin damage and to find effective treatments. We established a 28‐day sleep restriction (SR) mice model simulating continuous long‐term sleep loss. We found that SR would damage the barrier function of mice's skin, cause oxidative stress damage to the skin, weaken the oscillations of the skin's biological clock, and make the circadian rhythm of Bacteroides disappear. The circadian rhythm of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFA) receptors in the skin was disordered. After melatonin supplementation, the skin damage caused by SR was improved, the oscillations of the biological clock were enhanced, the circadian rhythm of Bacteroides was restored, and the rhythm of the receptor GPR43 of propionic acid was restored. We speculated that the improving effect of melatonin may be mediated by propionic acid produced by the gut microbiota. We verified in vitro that propionic acid could improve the keratinocytes barrier function of oxidative damage. We then consumed the gut microbiota of mice through antibiotics and found that oral melatonin could not improve skin damage. Moreover, supplementing mice with propionic acid could improve skin damage. Our research showed that lack of sleep impaired skin barrier function. Oral melatonin could improve skin damage by restoring the circadian rhythm of Bacteroides and its propionic acid metabolite.

Published: April 2023

AbstractSupply chains withstand multiple tensions, and some of which are paradoxical. Radical product and process innovations bring such tensions to the forefront by disrupting supply chains. Using two illustrations, this article considers the paradoxical tension between change and stability in upstream supply chains, which becomes particularly salient after radical innovation. Furthermore, the article discusses why and how paradox theory can help firms understand and manage this pressing tension between stability and change. This article then presents future research opportunities for using paradox theory to investigate other persistent post‐innovation tensions in upstream supply chains. The aim of this article is to encourage new studies that develop responses to such paradoxical tensions, an area ripe for research.
Korean nurses' energy drink consumption and associated factors
Authors: Kang Younhee , Yang In‐Suk 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis study aimed to examine the energy drink consumption pattern of Korean nurses and related factors. A descriptive cross‐sectional design was utilized, and data were collected through a self‐reporting questionnaire. Participants were Korean nurses working in hospitals. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi‐square test, and binomial logistic regression test. A total of 388 nurses participated in the study. Approximately two‐thirds of the nurses consumed energy drinks in addition to caffeinated coffee and/or tea. They usually consumed energy drinks during working hours and at the workplace. In comparison with nonconsumers, nurses who consumed energy drinks perceived that they had a stimulating effect and could replace regular drinks. Having colleagues who consume energy drinks and perceiving that energy drinks had an arousal effect were shown to be associated factors for energy drink consumption; thus, it is necessary to develop educational strategies targeting these groups of nurses. The reasons for the dependence of hospital nurses on energy drinks should be further investigated.

Published: April 2023

ObjectiveKnee osteoarthritis (OA) patients exhibit greater gait asymmetry than healthy controls. However, gait asymmetry in kinematics, kinetics and muscle forces across patients with different severity levels of knee OA is still unknown. The study aimed to investigate the changes of gait asymmetry in lower limb kinematics, kinetics, and muscle force across patients with different severity levels of knee OA.MethodsThis is a cross‐sectional study. From January 2020 to January 2021, 118 patients with symptomatic and radiographic medial knee OA were categorized into three groups using the Kellgren and Lawrence scale (mild: grade 1 and 2, n = 37; moderate: grade 3, n = 31; severe: grade 4, n = 50). During self‐paced walking, marker trajectories and ground reaction forces data were recorded. Musculoskeletal simulations were used to determine gait kinematics, kinetics, and muscle force. One‐way analysis of variance with Tukey's post‐hoc test was used to evaluate group difference. Paired‐sample t‐test was used to compared the between‐limb difference.ResultsIn the Severe group, significantly greater asymmetry index in knee flexion/extension range of motion (45%) was observed with a greater value on the contralateral side (p < 0.01), compared to the Mild (15%) and Moderate (15%) groups. Significantly higher peak hip contact force (JCF) on the contralateral side was found in the Mild (more affected side: 3.80 ± 0.67 BW, contralateral side: 4.01 ± 0.58 BW), Moderate (more affected side: 3.67 ± 0.56 BW, contralateral side: 4.07 ± 0.81 BW), and Severe groups (more affected side: 3.66 ± 0.79 BW, contralateral side: 3.94 ± 0.64 BW) (p < 0.05). Significantly greater gluteus medius muscle force on the contralateral side was found in Mild (more affected side: 0.48 ± 0.09 BW, contralateral side: 0.52 ± 0.12 BW), Moderate (more affected side: 0.45 ± 0.10 BW, contralateral side: 0.51 ± 0.15 BW), and Severe groups (more affected side: 0.42 ± 0.15 BW, contralateral side: 0.47 ± 0.12 BW) (p < 0.05). The contralateral side showing significantly higher peak knee adduction moment and medial knee JCF was only observed in the Mild group (p < 0.05).ConclusionsGait asymmetry in kinematics and muscle forces increased from mild to severe knee OA. Asymmetrical gait pattern tends to transfer loads from the more affected side to the contralateral side. Peak hip JCF and gluteus medius muscle force can be used to detect this asymmetrical gait pattern in patients with knee OA, regardless of severity levels.
Carbon nitride quantum dots‐modified cobalt phosphate for enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn the present work, carbon nitride quantum dots (CNQDs)‐modified cobalt phosphate (CoPi) composites CNQDs/CoPi‐x (x = 1, 2, 3) were prepared at room temperature and characterized by FTIR, XRD, UV–Vis DRS, EIS, SEM, TEM/HR‐TEM, XPS, and N2 gas adsorption. The morphologies and surface areas of CNQDs/CoPi‐x have no remarkable change after modification of CNQDs, compared with pure CoPi. The obtained CNQDs/CoPi‐x shows enhanced activity and stability of photocatalytic H2 evolution compared to pure CoPi using Eosin Y (EY) as a sensitizer and triethanolamine as an electron donor. The CNQDs/CoPi‐2 possesses the highest hydrogen evolution rate, 234.5 μmol h−1 g−1, upon visible light, which outshines that of CoPi by 2.4 times. It was believed that the enhanced photocatalytic performances of the CNQDs/CoPi‐2 could result from the boosted electron transfer from radical EY·− to CNQDs/CoPi‐2 by the employment of CNQDs; in addition, the visible‐light activity of CNQDs contributes to hydrogen evolution. The mechanism of photocatalytic hydrogen production was discussed. This study may contribute toward the development of production of “green hydrogen” using solar.
On proper presupposition
Authors: Zakkou Julia 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis paper investigates the norm of presupposition, as one pervasive type of indirect speech act. It argues against the view that sees presuppositions as an indirect counterpart of the direct speech act of assertion and proposes instead that they are much more similar to the direct speech act of assumption. More concretely, it suggests that the norm that governs presuppositions is not an epistemic or doxastic attitude such as knowledge, justified belief, or mere belief; it's a practical attitude, most plausibly the attitude of rational acceptance. This view has important ramifications well beyond debates in philosophy of language and linguistics. It affects not only our view of which speech act sequences are fine and which are off; it bears on whether presuppositions can function as testimony, whether they can be lies, and whether they are ontologically committal, thus addressing central topics in epistemology, ethics, and metaphysics.
