AbstractTropical forests are threatened by anthropogenic activities such as conversion into agricultural land, logging and fires. Land-use change and disturbance affect ecosystems not only aboveground, but also belowground including the ecosystems' carbon and nitrogen cycle. We studied the impact of different types of land-use change (intensive and traditional agroforestry, logging) and disturbance by fire on fine root biomass, dynamics, morphology, and related C and N fluxes to the soil via fine root litter across different ecosystems at different elevational zones at Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania). We found a decrease in fine root biomass (80–90%), production (50%), and C and N fluxes to the soil via fine root litter (60–80%) at all elevation zones. The traditional agroforestry 'Chagga homegardens' (lower montane zone) showed enhanced fine root turnover rates, higher values of acquisitive root morphological traits, but similar stand fine root production, C and N fluxes compared to the natural forest. The decrease of C and N fluxes with forest disturbance was particularly strong at the upper montane zone (60 and 80% decrease, respectively), where several patches of Podocarpus forest had been disturbed by fire in the previous years. We conclude that changes on species composition, stand structure and land management practices resulting from land-use change and disturbance have a strong impact on the fine root system, modifying fine root biomass, production and the C and N supply to the soil from fine root litter, which strongly affects the ecosystems' C and N cycle in those East African tropical forest ecosystems.
Trojan technology in the living room?
Authors: Sonnauer Franziska , Frewer Andreas 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Definition of the problem
Assistive technologies, including “smart” instruments and artificial intelligence (AI), are increasingly arriving in older adults’ living spaces. Various research has explored risks (“surveillance technology”) and potentials (“independent living”) to people’s self-determination from technology itself and from the increasing complexity of sociotechnical interactions. However, the point at which self-determination of the individual is overridden by external influences has not yet been sufficiently studied. This article aims to shed light on this point of transition and its implications.

Arguments
The identification of this “tipping point” could contribute to analysis of familiar issues of conflict between the ethical principles of beneficence and respect for autonomy. When using technology in the living spaces of older adults, relationships, among other factors, may play a crucial role in older adult’s self-determination. We find the tipping point to occur subjectively and variably. To this end, the article combines theoretical ethical considerations with two examples from a qualitative study illustrating the perspective of older adults aged 65–85 years.

Conclusion
The study of the tipping point underscores the importance of perceiving an older person’s perspective. Particularly at the tipping point, this might be the only way to effectively identify whether the individual concerned perceives their self-determination as externally overridden. In conceptualizing the tipping point itself as well as its variability, we might create the basis for a normative call to shift the tipping point to promote self-determination and prevent overriding the will of older adults. We highlight individual, relational, and societal implications of our findings.

Published: March 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Chemotherapy-related polyneuropathy (CIPN) is a very common, often dose-limiting side effect that affects the patients’ quality of life. Treatment usually consists of a combination of medicinal, medical, and individualized treatment approaches, although the effectiveness of these therapies is insufficient for many patients. The aim of this article is to review and evaluate the impact of CIPN on patients’ daily lives and possible effective treatment approaches.

Methods
A standardized questionnaire was developed based on ten anonymous telephone interviews with CIPN patients. The content of the questionnaire was divided into 5 categories: demographics, clinical presentation, everyday symptoms, treatment of CIPN symptoms, and medical care. Mostly closed questions were used but multiple choice and individual additions by free text answers were possible.

Results
CIPN limits patients’ quality of life over a long period of time. In addition to diurnal and situational fluctuations, the emotional burden negatively affects patients’ daily lives in many ways. From the patients’ point of view, the individually implemented therapy measures were most effective in treating their complaints. But even the combination of different therapy methods insufficiently alleviates the symptoms of the patients.

Conclusion
It is important and necessary to comprehensively inform patients about CIPN as a possible side effect, to point out prevention strategies, and to critically examine and evaluate different therapy approaches. In this way, misunderstandings of the doctor-patient relationship can be avoided. In addition, patient satisfaction and quality of life can be increased in the long term.
Referencing behaviours across disciplines: publication types and common metadata for defining bibliographic references
Authors: dos Santos Erika Alves , Peroni Silvio , Mucheroni Marcos Luiz 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this work, we investigate existing citation practices by analysing a huge set of articles published in journals to measure which metadata are used across the various scholarly disciplines, independently from the particular citation style adopted, for defining bibliographic reference. We selected the most cited journals in each of the 27 subject areas listed in the SCImago Journal Rank in the 2015–2017 triennium according to the SCImago total cites ranking. Each journal in the sample was represented by five articles (in PDF format) published in the most recent issue published in October 2019, for a total of 729 articles. We extracted all 34,140 bibliographic references in the bibliographic references lists of these articles. Finally, we detected the types of cited works in each discipline and the structure of bibliographic references and in-text reference pointers for each type of cited work. By analysing the data gathered, we observed that the bibliographic references in our sample referenced 36 different types of cited works. Such a considerable variety of publications revealed the existence of particular citing behaviours in scientific articles that varied from subject area to subject area.
Application of airborne laser scanning and electrical resistivity tomography in the study of an active landslide and geology of the cliff, Jastrzębia Góra, Poland

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe cliff in Jastrzębia Góra is one of the most an active landslide areas along the Polish Baltic coast. The aim of these studies was to determine the dynamics of displacements in an active landslide and to identify the geology of the cliff. Two methods, ALS (Airborne Laser Scanning) and ERT (Electrical Resistivity Tomography), were used for this purpose. Multitemporal ALS data were used to determine the geomorphological changes within the cliff and find the causes of the rapid rate of cliff edge landslides. ALS differential models were the sources of new information about the dynamics of vertical displacement in the landslide and helped calculate the volume of displaced rock masses that occurred over 12 years. The cliff was found to become significantly an active in 2010. This process was observed by analysing the relief of multitemporal digital elevation models, differential models, AND morphological sections and by conducting long-term field observations. The ERT surveys made it possible to generate two 3D ERT electrical resistivity models that provided much new information about the geological structure of the cliff. Additionally, a 2D ERT profile was made through the landslide. The internal structure of the landslide was recognized, and the depth of the slip surface was estimated. The results permitted clarifying the cause of the high landslide activity and the rapid rate of retreat of the cliff edge over the past 12 years. In addition, by means of the results of electrical resistivity surveys and the use of archival boreholes, it was possible to extrapolate a model of the surface relief of the clay hill using geostatistical methods. It was found that at the boundary with the active landslide—the top of the clay layer—is tilted towards the north, i.e. towards the sea, which favours the activation of the landslide. The proposed research methodology, as well as the obtained information, may be of significant assistance in further diagnosis and prognosis of the dynamics of landslide development and the causes of landslide formation within cliff coasts.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe insufficient number of low-elevation observations is a limitation of the three-dimensional ionospheric computer tomography (CT) based on the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). To solve this problem, accurate prior information on the regional ionosphere must be obtained. However, it is difficult to explicitly and accurately express prior ionospheric information. This study uses compressed sensing (CS) for ionospheric tomography for the first time. Specifically, the electron density obtained from the international reference ionosphere is used to build a dictionary to fully integrate the prior information into the dictionary. Then, the electron density is reconstructed by using the compressive sampling matching pursuit method. Subsequently, the GNSS data of China (Region I) and Europe (Region II) were utilized to validate this proposed method, and the results are compared with ionosonde observations. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of the difference with respect to the ionosonde result are 41 and 22 km, respectively. The mean and SD of relative deviation were 16% and 9%, respectively. In Region II, the mean and SD of the deviation between the reversed peak electron density and the result of the ionosonde were 1.9 × 1010 m−3 and 8.1 × 1010 m−3, respectively. The mean and SD of the relative deviation were 3% and 13%, respectively. The mean and SD of the peak height deviation were 33 and 19 km, and the mean and SD of the relative deviation were 11% and 7%. The electron density distribution and variation in these two regions showed a local time dependence, and the horizontal gradient of the electron density in the latitude was greater than that in the longitude. Moreover, CT by CS is efficient, taking about 6 s per inversion based on an desktop computer with 16 GB RAM and Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-8700 CPU.

ZusammenfassungTrotz der jahrelang bekannten Umweltprobleme, die mit der unsachgemäßen respektive übermäßigen
Phosphatdüngung einhergehen, mangelt es dem nationalen, europäischen und internationalen Recht
weitgehend an ambitionierten Zielvorgaben und wirkungsvollen Maßnahmen zur Begrenzung dieser Problemlagen,
insbesondere hinsichtlich der Gewässereutrophierung. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die für
die Minimierung der Phosphateinträge relevanten Vorgaben im bestehenden Wasserrecht auf allen drei
Rechtsebenen und schließt dabei klima- und biodiversitätsbezogene Zielsetzungen ein. Es wird
zudem aufgezeigt, dass der BVerfG-Klima-Beschluss hinsichtlich der etwaigen verfassungsrechtlichen Rechtfertigung
weitergehender gesetzgeberischer Maßnahmen Anhaltspunkte enthält, die auch für den Gewässerschutz
fruchtbar gemacht werden können.
A data-driven approach to neural architecture search initialization
Authors: Traoré Kalifou René , Camero Andrés , Zhu Xiao Xiang 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAlgorithmic design in neural architecture search (NAS) has received a lot of attention, aiming to improve performance and reduce computational cost. Despite the great advances made, few authors have proposed to tailor initialization techniques for NAS. However, the literature shows that a good initial set of solutions facilitates finding the optima. Therefore, in this study, we propose a data-driven technique to initialize a population-based NAS algorithm. First, we perform a calibrated clustering analysis of the search space, and second, we extract the centroids and use them to initialize a NAS algorithm. We benchmark our proposed approach against random and Latin hypercube sampling initialization using three population-based algorithms, namely a genetic algorithm, an evolutionary algorithm, and aging evolution, on CIFAR-10. More specifically, we use NAS-Bench-101 to leverage the availability of NAS benchmarks. The results show that compared to random and Latin hypercube sampling, the proposed initialization technique enables achieving significant long-term improvements for two of the search baselines, and sometimes in various search scenarios (various training budget). Besides, we also investigate how an initial population gathered on the tabular benchmark can be used for improving search on another dataset, the So2Sat LCZ-42. Our results show similar improvements on the target dataset, despite a limited training budget. Moreover, we analyse the distributions of solutions obtained and find that that the population provided by the data-driven initialization technique enables retrieving local optima (maxima) of high fitness and similar configurations.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
Identifying predictors of treatment outcome can guide treatment selection and optimize use of resources. In patients affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), perfectionism has emerged as one possible predictor, with some data suggesting that cognitive-behavioral therapy outcomes are poorer for more perfectionistic patients. Findings so far are inconsistent, however, and research has yet to be extended to newer treatment approaches.

Methods
We administered measures of concern over mistakes, clinical perfectionism, as well as OCD and depression symptom severity to a sample of OCD patients in out-patient group treatments (N = 61), namely, metacognitive training (MCT-OCD) or mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for OCD. Hierarchical data over time was submitted to multi-level analysis.

Results
Neither concern over mistakes nor clinical perfectionism at baseline predicted OCD symptoms across time points. However, concern over mistakes at baseline did significantly predict comorbid depressive symptoms. Furthermore, exploratory analysis revealed change in clinical perfectionism during treatment as a predictor of OCD symptoms at follow-up.

Conclusion
These results suggest that initial concern over mistakes may not prevent patients with OCD from benefitting from third-wave treatments. Change in clinical perfectionism may present a putative process of therapeutic change. Limitations and avenues for future research are discussed.
Identifying how classroom teachers develop presence online: breaking the fourth wall in online learning
Authors: Prestridge Sarah , Main Katherine , Schmid Mirjam 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper examines the invisible barrier that can challenge teachers when teaching online, called the fourth wall. Using a presence framework derived from the literature, we explored how experienced teachers manage the absence of visual cues and identify the pedagogical practices they adopted as a response. Data from semi-structured interviews with 22 teachers experienced in online teaching was analysed for individual presence, place presence, and co-presence. Results indicate seven different types of individual presence, four different types of place presence, and three different types of co-presence. Overall, findings show that teachers discussed developing students’ individual connections to the online lesson more often compared with developing co-presence (student-to-student engagement) with place presence being representative of the online learning space. Specific strategies that teachers used to support each presence are presented and implications are provided for how this affects the move to an increased use of blended and online learning in the schooling context.
Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Game Harvests in Sweden

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe benefits and costs of wildlife are contingent on the spatial overlap of animal populations with economic and recreational human activities. By using a production function approach with dynamic spatial panel data models, we analyze the effects of human hunting and carnivore predation pressure on the value of ungulate game harvests. The results show evidence of dynamic spatial dependence in the harvests of roe deer and wild boar, but not in those of moose, which is likely explained by the presence of harvesting quotas for the latter. Results suggest the impact of lynx on roe deer harvesting values is reduced by 75% when spatial effects are taken into account. The spatial analysis confirms that policymakers’ aim to reduce wild boar populations through increased hunting has been successful, an effect that was only visible when considering spatial effects.
Situating Higher-Order, Critical, and Critical-Analytic Thinking in Problem- and Project-Based Learning Environments: A Systematic Review
Authors: Loyens Sofie M. M. , van Meerten Julianne E. , Schaap Lydia , Wijnia Lisette 
Published: March 2023

AbstractCritical thinking (CT) is widely regarded as an important competence to obtain in education. Students’ exposure to problems and collaboration have been proven helpful in promoting CT processes. These elements are present in student-centered instructional environments such as problem-based and project-based learning (P(j)BL). Next to CT, also higher-order thinking (HOT) and critical-analytic thinking (CAT) contain elements that are present in and fostered by P(j)BL. However, HOT, CT, and CAT definitions are often ill-defined and overlap. The present systematic review, therefore, investigated how HOT, CT, and CAT were conceptualized in P(j)BL environments. Another aim of this study was to review the evidence on the effectiveness of P(j)BL environments in fostering HOT, CT, or CAT. Results demonstrated an absence of CAT in P(j)BL research and a stronger focus on CT processes than CT dispositions (i.e., trait-like tendency or willingness to engage in CT). Further, while we found positive effects of P(j)BL on HOT and CT, there was a lack of clarity and consistency in how researchers conceptualized and measured these forms of thinking. Also, essential components of P(j)BL were often overlooked. Finally, we identified various design issues in effect studies, such as the lack of control groups, that bring the reported outcomes of those investigations into question.
Epistemic Libertarian Paternalism
Authors: Miyazono Kengo 
Published: March 2023

AbstractLibertarian paternalism is a weak form of paternalism that recommends nudges rather than bans, restrictions, or other strong interventions. Nudges influence people’s choice by modifying contextual factors (the “choice architecture”). This paper explores the possibility of an epistemic analogue of l﻿ibertarian paternalism. What I call “﻿epistemic ﻿libertarian p﻿aternalism” is a weak form of epistemic paternalism that recommends “epistemic nudges” rather than stronger paternalistic interventions. Epistemic nudges influence people’s beliefs and judgments by modifying contextual factors (the “epistemic choice architecture”). The main aim of this paper is to defend ﻿epistemic l﻿ibertarian ﻿paternalism from the “irrationality problem”, which I take to be the most urgent problem for ﻿epistemic l﻿ibertarian p﻿aternalism; given how epistemic nudges work (i.e. they typically co-opt psychological biases), nudged beliefs are irrational. In response to the irrationality problem, I admit that nudged beliefs are often (not always, though) irrational, but insist that there are conditions in which epistemic nudging can be justifiable nonetheless. I will propose two conditions that are jointly sufficient for justifiable epistemic nudging: “Veridicality Condition” (which says that nudged beliefs are more likely to be true than non-nudged beliefs) and “Not-More-Irrationality Condition” (which says that nudged beliefs are not more likely to be irrational than non-nudged beliefs).
Importance of IT and Role Identities in Information Systems Infusion

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Information systems (IS) should be infused into individuals’ work activities for organizations to extract value from these systems. Studies have identified various factors that impact IS infusion, but few have examined the importance of individuals’ identities and the role of contextual factors. Drawing on identity and status characteristics theories, this study conceptualizes individuals’ material identity as IT identity, and role identity as IS infusion role identity and examines their relationships and effects on IS infusion as well as the role status characteristics play in shaping these relationships. The models were evaluated using survey data collected from enterprise systems users. Findings suggest that individuals’ IT identity shape IS infusion role identity, and together, these identities influence their IS infusion. Additionally, work-related and personal characteristics strengthen the relationships between identities and IS infusion. This study highlights the role of individual’s IT and role identities and status characteristics in fostering IS infusion.
