Lessons learnt and lessons missed from flight simulation
Authors: Allerton D. J. , Lammertse P. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article reviews progress in the development of technologies used in flight simulation and in the training of dentists, drawing out the similarities in training objectives and the limitations of the training devices. It summarises the advances in pilot training with recognised international standards for the construction and acceptance of training devices, noting the impact of flight simulation as a major contributor to the improvements in flight safety. Attention is drawn to the positive transfer of training from synthetic training to airborne operations. The evolution of training methods in dentistry is described covering virtual reality and haptic simulation. The distinction is drawn that tactile feel and visualisation, which is very different from other forms of simulation, is critical to the introduction of synthetic training in dentistry. In particular, progress in methods to provide haptic technologies is reviewed and the importance of novel methods of visualisation, specific to dentistry, are reviewed. This article concludes by outlining progress in flight simulation that is relevant to synthetic training in dentistry but also stresses the differences between the two disciplines. The progress and limitations of flight simulation and the current status and future of synthetic training in dentistry are described, highlighting the potential benefits of lower‐cost haptic devices and the lack of standardisation.

AbstractCeratitis capitata (Wiedemann), the Mediterranean fruit fly or medfly, is one of the world's most serious threats to fresh fruits. It is highly polyphagous (recorded from over 300 hosts) and capable of adapting to a wide range of climates. This pest has spread to the EPPO region and is mainly present in the southern part, damaging Citrus and Prunus. In Northern and Central Europe records refer to interceptions or short‐lived adventive populations only. Sustainable programs for surveillance, spread assessment using models and control strategies for pests such as C. capitata represent a major plant health challenge for all countries in Europe. This article includes a review of pest distribution and monitoring techniques in 11 countries of the EPPO region. This work compiles information that was crucial for a better understanding of pest occurrence and contributes to identifying areas susceptible to potential invasion and establishment. The key outputs and results obtained in the Euphresco project included knowledge transfer about early detection tools and methods used in different countries for pest monitoring. A MaxEnt software model resulted in risk maps for C. capitata in different climatic regions. This is an important tool to help decision making and to develop actions against this pest in the different partner countries.
Development and validation of real‐time PCR tests for specific identification of Xanthomonas species causing bacterial spot disease on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and pepper (Capsicum annuum)

Published: July 2023

AbstractBacterial spot is a significant disease of tomato and pepper crops caused by members of four Xanthomonas pathogens from three species, namely Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. euvesicatoria, Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans, Xanthomonas vesicatoria and Xanthomonas hortorum pv. gardneri. These Gram‐negative bacterial plant pathogens are recommended for regulation as quarantine pests by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization and are currently regulated on tomato and pepper seeds in many regions of the world. Tomato and pepper seeds are a transmission pathway for all three species. Real‐time PCR TaqMan tests were developed and validated for specific identification of isolates from tomato and pepper seeds of these pathogens. These tests are designed to be used in seed health tests after isolation on semiselective media to reduce the number of isolates that need testing in follow‐up pathogenicity tests. A second set of real‐time TaqMan PCR tests was subsequently developed targeting two markers for each taxonomic group of strains. The analytical specificity of all developed tests was evaluated with in vitro and in silico analyses. Diagnostic specificity and sensitivity were also validated on collections of isolates in several laboratories.
Concept drift detection and adaption framework using optimized deep learning and adaptive sliding window approach
Authors: Desale Ketan Sanjay , Shinde Swati V. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractConcept drift in online streaming data is a common issue due to dynamic smart systems, which results in system failure or performance degradation. Though there are several traditional approaches for handling the streaming data, they failed to handle the concept drift imposing the need for developing an adaptable approach to managing the dynamic IoT streaming data. Therefore, in this research, a new method is proposed for handling the concept drift issues in online data streaming. This research develops the dynamic streaming data analytic framework based on the optimized Deep CNN and optimized adaptive and sliding window (OASW) approach that effectively addresses both memory and time constraints. An optimized Deep CNN classifier is employed as a base classifier for offline learning, which is developed through hybridizing the proposed Desale's aggressive hunt optimization (AHO) algorithm with a Deep CNN classifier for tuning the optimal parameters of the classifier. An optimized adaptive and sliding window is utilized in this research to adapt the pattern changes in the data streams, which effectively handles the concept drift. The experimental analysis reveals that the proposed methods outperform the conventional methods considered for the analysis in terms of specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, F1 score, and the precision score of 96.65%, 97.77%, 98.63%, 98.1487%, and 98.4469%, respectively.
Sexual beliefs in couple relationships: Exploring the pathways of mindfulness, communication, and sexual functioning on sexual passion and satisfaction
Authors: Busby Dean M. , Spencer Sierra , Butler Mark H. , Anderson Shayne R. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractTwo types of sexual beliefs, growth and destiny, have been found in past research to be differentially associated with sexual and relationship outcomes; however, past research has not explored these beliefs with dyadic data nor considered common intervening variables that might be pathways through which beliefs influence outcomes. Consequently, using the sexual wholeness model, we analyzed how couples' specific sexual beliefs (growth and destiny) influenced their sexual mindfulness, communication, and functioning within their couple relationships and how each of these variables influenced sexual satisfaction and harmonious sexual passion. Using a national sample of dyadic data from 964 sexually active individuals (482 heterosexual couples) who had been in a committed relationship for at least 2 years, we evaluated an actor/partner structural equation model with distinguishable dyads. We found that while sexual growth and destiny beliefs had a significant association with sexual mindfulness, communication, and functioning for both partners, sexual beliefs had no direct association with sexual satisfaction and harmonious sexual passion. Because growth beliefs had strong associations with sexual communication, it may be beneficial to help couples identify their implicit beliefs and encourage the development of sexual growth beliefs.

AbstractObjectiveInvestigating concordance between parents' mentalization and their moderating effects on the link between children's exposure to marital conflict and internalizing and externalizing behaviors.BackgroundMarital conflict is a risk factor for children's behavior. Mentalization is a parental strength that can protect children's well‐being in the face of adversity. Little is known about parental mentalization within the family context.MethodCohabiting, heterosexual Israeli couples (N = 89) with a 3‐ to 5‐year‐old child were interviewed individually to assess their mentalization skills (mind‐mindedness). Reports of the child's exposure to marital conflict using the O'Leary‐Porter Scale of Marital Conflict and externalizing and internalizing behaviors using the Child Behavior Checklist were obtained.ResultsThere was limited accord between parents' mentalization within each couple. The positive associations between conflict exposure and children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors were mitigated when the parents' mentalization skills were matched or when the mother's mentalization skills were high. A significant three‐way interaction emerged such that the contribution of the father's mentalization skills to the prediction of children's externalizing and internalizing behavior depended on the mentalization skills of the mother and the level of exposure to conflict.ConclusionCoordinated, high levels of parental mentalization can mitigate the negative impact of exposing children to parental conflict.ImplicationsParental mentalization can mitigate children's exposure to marital conflict. Enhancing parental mentalization is an important treatment goal for the family and for the child. Family interventions can benefit from evaluating each parent's initial parental mentalization skills to determine whether the parental couple share a similar level of this capacity. Detecting and addressing gaps between the parents in their parental mentalization skills can facilitate coordinated and shared parenting.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe migratory behavior and spawning of Curimatá‐pacu (Prochilodus argenteus) were assessed in a free‐flowing remnant spanning approximately 450 km. This evaluation was conducted using radio‐tagging and egg sampling, with identification performed through metabarcoding techniques. Among the studied individuals, half migrated 100–365 km upstream, primarily in response to the initial rise in river discharge at the onset of the wet season. Conversely, the remaining fish did not exhibit upstream movement, indicating a partial migratory behavior. The presence of eggs exclusively in the headwaters suggests that breeding occurred solely among fish inhabiting the upstream sites. The observed migratory traits resembled those of other congeneric species.
Microbial carbon use efficiency in different ecosystems: A meta‐analysis based on a biogeochemical equilibrium model

Published: July 2023

AbstractSoil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a crucial parameter that can be used to evaluate the partitioning of soil carbon (C) between microbial growth and respiration. However, general patterns of microbial CUE among terrestrial ecosystems (e.g., farmland, grassland, and forest) remain controversial. To address this knowledge gap, data from 41 study sites (n = 197 soil samples) including 58 farmlands, 95 forests, and 44 grasslands were collected and analyzed to estimate microbial CUEs using a biogeochemical equilibrium model. We also evaluated the metabolic limitations of microbial growth using an enzyme vector model and the drivers of CUE across different ecosystems. The CUEs obtained from soils of farmland, forest, and grassland ecosystems were significantly different with means of 0.39, 0.33, and 0.42, respectively, illustrating that grassland soils exhibited higher microbial C sequestration potentials (p < .05). Microbial metabolic limitations were also distinct in these ecosystems, and carbon limitation was dominant exhibiting strong negative effects on CUE. Exoenzyme stoichiometry played a greater role in impacting CUE values than soil elemental stoichiometry within each ecosystem. Specifically, soil exoenzymatic ratios of C:phosphorus (P) acquisition activities (EEAC:P) and the exoenzymatic ratio of C:nitrogen (N) acquisition activities (EEAC:N) imparted strong negative effects on soil microbial CUE in grassland and forest ecosystems, respectively. But in farmland soils, EEAC:P exhibited greater positive effects, showing that resource constraints could regulate microbial resource allocation with discriminating patterns across terrestrial ecosystems. Furthermore, mean annual temperature (MAT) rather than mean annual precipitation (MAP) was a critical climate factor affecting CUE, and soil pH as a major factor remained positive to drive the changes in microbial CUE within ecosystems. This research illustrates a conceptual framework of microbial CUEs in terrestrial ecosystems and provides the theoretical evidence to improve soil microbial C sequestration capacity in response to global change.
Hungary as a precarious context for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Interviews with transgender people
Authors: Primecz Henriett , Pelyhe Valéria 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWhile lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people experience exclusion and animosity in most organizations and societies, their rights have gradually gained recognition in several countries in the world. Within the LGBT community, transgender people are the least researched group. Our empirical investigation focuses on the lived experience of transgender people in Hungary, within an increasingly precarious social context, particularly in the workplace, labor market, and certain aspects of private lives. Our findings shed light on the significant challenges they face, including a particularly harsh situation in the labor market and the subsequent impact on their workplace environment and private lives. These circumstances often force them to temporarily hide their transgender identity, although this often eventually comes out. This study, consistent with prior research of transgender individuals' lived experiences, demonstrates their critique of gender binaries, with their own lives serving as evidence for the dispensability of the gendered professions. The empirical investigation clearly shows the significant influence of the social context on the lives of vulnerable individuals. Particularly, recent legislative changes and escalating transphobic political discourse have notably worsened transgender individuals' lives in Hungary, affecting their employment and specific aspects of their private lives.

AbstractAir pollution, particularly particulate matter (PM2.5) levels, was a significant focus at the COP26 summit. Rampant production practices and changing lifestyles contribute to the issue globally. China's rapid urbanization and reliance on fossil fuels significantly threaten global health sustainability. This study aims to evaluate China's environmental agenda and offer policy recommendations for achieving a green and clean environment. To accomplish this, the study assesses the crucial factors contributing to China's air pollution levels, focusing specifically on fine PM2.5 from 1975 to 2020. By implementing the ARDL bounds testing approach, the study confirmed a non‐linear relationship between per capita income and PM2.5, demonstrating an inverted U‐shaped curve with a turning point observed at a per capita income level of US$3030 in the short run. Furthermore, a positive correlation between these variables was detected in the long run. The study also revealed that rapid urbanization initially leads to increased PM2.5 concentrations, whereas it has a decreasing effect in the long term. To progress towards sustainable production and consumption, China has embraced efficient environmental technologies and increasing clean energy sources in its production mix. Leveraging these strategies, the country strives to achieve its decarbonization agenda and ensure a cleaner future. By conducting an ex ante analysis, this study identified ecological technologies, renewable energy demand and oil resource rents as critical influencers on China's air pollution levels over the next decade. The findings underscore the pressing need to embrace alternative energy sources, eco‐friendly technologies and resource conservation to tackle air pollution effectively and accomplish China's decarbonization objectives. It is imperative to prioritize adopting sustainable practices, ensuring a cleaner environment for current and future generations.

Published: July 2023

AbstractCeramic aerogels are attractive for their promising applications in thermal insulation, ultrafiltration, catalysis, and many other areas, owing to their high porosity, low density, high specific surface area, low thermal conductivity, and thermal stability. However, the practical applications of conventional ceramic aerogels are usually impeded by brittleness. Resilient ceramic aerogels overcame the brittleness of conventional ceramic aerogels and realized reversible compressibility, but they usually show brittleness under tensile stress and limited load‐bearing ability. In this short review paper, we reviewed the strategies to modify the mechanical properties of resilient ceramic aerogel. These strategies were achieved through tuning the deformation and moving ability of the nanowire building blocks and the deformation resistance provided by the aerogel architecture. Perspectives for further modifying the mechanical properties of resilient ceramic aerogel are also discussed.
Synthesis of low‐oxygen Ti3AlC2 powders by hydrogenation–dehydrogenation and deoxidation from titanium scraps
Authors: Kim Taeheon , Lim Jae‐Won 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe MAX phase is a material with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and thermal shock and oxidation resistance owing to its metallike bonding properties. The impurities in the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase must be controlled because the oxides and TiC derived from the synthesis process remain in MXene and markedly affect the electrical conductivity and chemical stability. This study investigated whether the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase can be synthesized from titanium powder prepared from low‐cost titanium scrap by hydrogenation–dehydrogenation (HDH) and deoxidation in the solid‐state (DOSS) processes. Almost single‐phase Ti3AlC2 MAX phase was obtained by synthesis at 1450°C for 5 h. The oxygen concentrations of the HDH‐MAX and DOSS‐MAX powders (25–45 μm) were 7215 and 3875 ppm, respectively. Oxygen reduction of titanium powder through DOSS can help improve the purity of Ti3AlC2 MAX phase by minimizing the imbalance in the stoichiometric ratio during synthesis. The HDH‐MAX and DOSS‐MAX powders prepared from titanium scrap displayed a higher Ti3AlC2 phase fraction and lower oxygen concentration than those of commercial Ti3AlC2 MAX phase powders. This cost reduction and purity improvement will increase the accessibility of the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase, supporting further research into its applications.
Forgiveness: Overcoming versus Forswearing Blame
Authors: Schönherr Julius 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACTPhilosophers often identify forgiveness with either overcoming or forswearing blaming attitudes such as, paradigmatically, resentment for the right reasons; yet there is little debate as to which of the two (if either) is correct. In this article, I present three arguments that aim to strengthen the forswearing view. First, on the overcoming view, many paradigm cases of forgiveness would turn out to be mere ‘letting go’ instead. Second, only the forswearing view plausibly allows for forgiveness in cases where the victim lost resentment before she had a reason to forgive. Third, only the forswearing view can show why victims of an offense are usually able to know whether they are in a position to forgive.

AbstractBackgroundThe fixed dose combination of calcipotriene (CAL) and betamethasone dipropionate (BDP) is a well‐established topical treatment option for psoriasis based on strong scientific rationale for the single agents having complementary efficacy and safety. CAL/BDP PAD‐cream is an easily spreadable cream based on PAD Technology™, an innovative formulation and drug delivery system.Objectives and MethodsA Phase 3, multicentre, randomized, investigator‐blind, active and vehicle‐controlled trial enrolling 490 patients with mild to moderate psoriasis according to the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) scale was conducted in three European countries. Products were applied once daily for 8 weeks. The aim of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAL/BDP PAD‐cream as well as treatment acceptability compared to CAL/BDP gel and PAD‐cream vehicle. Primary endpoint was percentage change in modified Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (mPASI) from baseline to Week 8.ResultsThe percentage mean change from baseline to Week 8 in mPASI for CAL/BDP PAD‐cream (67.5%) was superior compared to PAD‐cream vehicle (11.7%; p < 0.0001) and non‐inferior to CAL/BDP gel (63.5%). The proportion of patients achieving PGA treatment success (at least two‐step improvement to clear or almost clear) after 8 weeks was superior for CAL/BDP PAD‐cream (50.7%) compared to PAD‐cream vehicle (6.1%, p < 0.0001) and statistically significantly greater than CAL/BDP gel (42.7%, p = 0.0442). Patient‐reported psoriasis treatment convenience score (PTCS) for CAL/BDP PAD‐cream was rated superior to CAL/BDP gel at Week 8 (p < 0.0001) and the mean change in DLQI from baseline to Week 8 improved statistically significantly more in the CAL/BDP PAD‐cream group compared to both PAD‐cream vehicle (p < 0.0001) and CAL/BDP gel (p = 0.0110). Safety assessments during the trial demonstrated that CAL/BDP PAD‐cream was well‐tolerated.ConclusionCAL/BDP PAD‐cream is a novel topical treatment of psoriasis that has a high efficacy and a favourable safety profile combined with a superior patient‐reported treatment convenience.
