Published: July 2023

AbstractChanges in freshwater flow to estuaries can cause a suite of ecosystem impacts including eutrophication and alterations to plant communities, zooplankton populations, and other biota. In southwest Florida, historical manipulation of freshwater flow due to development, canals, and drainage ditches is pervasive. Because there are estuaries with reduced, increased, and relatively natural freshwater flow, this region presents an ideal system to study how these changes relate to downstream fish abundances. We used a 20-year trawl dataset focused on juvenile and small-bodied fish from three mangrove-lined sub-estuaries with contrasting flow conditions in southwest Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands to identify important environmental and temporal variables influencing fish populations. We used generalized additive models to investigate total fish abundance, species richness, diversity, and the abundances of 23 ecologically, recreationally, or commercially important species and describe their relationships with important environmental and temporal variables. While salinity and temperature had species-specific relationships with fish abundances, seasonality, interannual variability, and sub-estuary were more closely related to fish than salinity and temperature in most cases. Only 8 of 23 species responded most strongly to temperature, and only 1 species responded most strongly to salinity. This suggests that for most species in our study, temporal factors such as timing of spawning and recruitment variability had stronger relationships with the structure of fish populations than changes in freshwater flow. This work quantified how changes in freshwater flow, using salinity as a proxy, may relate to downstream fish abundances and therefore the potential implications of planned watershed restoration that is part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan.

Abstract
Aim
The present review article aims to compile the best available evidence-based data on oral metronomic chemotherapy (OMCT) including its mechanism of action, its utility, and future directions.

Methods
A systematic search was carried out in PubMed database for available English literature from last 10 years between 2011 and 2021. Keyword combinations used were ‘Oral Metronomic chemotherapy for oral cancer, mechanism of action of OMCT, Oral metronomic chemotherapy in India, OMCT in recurrent and palliative treatment of oral cancers.’

Results
Multitudes of studies have been published recently stating the role of OMCT in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but the studies with the category of level of evidence required to advocate OMCT as a recognized therapy are still scarce. On careful stratification of these studies, we found that OMCT has a lot to offer in palliative settings, recurrent, and metastatic HNSCC. There is some limited evidence of its role in adjuvant therapy as maintenance and in neoadjuvant setting.

Conclusion
With current evidence, there is a definite role of OMCT in treatment of oral SCC. OMCT can be an alternative in patients who are not tolerable or affordable for standard palliative chemotherapy and also an option for patient who are waiting for surgery. However, results of ongoing and future studies on exact mechanism, indications, and implications of this drug regimen would help in integration OMCT in current standard of therapy.

Optical-Switch Raman Spectroscopy for High Throughput Screening
Authors: Lee Seung-Jin , Lee Kwan Hee , Choi Young-Wan , Kim Jun Ki , Choi Woo June 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAlthough surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical technique with unbeaten sensitivity, the capabilities of SERS have been not fully utilized in screening applications because throughput of spectrum detection by conventional Raman instruments has been restricted due to their single-point measurement manners. Hence, this paper presents a development of a high throughput Raman screening system that employs a fiber-optic switch and a Raman probe array. In the system, a 785 nm excitation light is directed into the 1 × 8 broadband optical switching device and selectively switched to one of 8 output ports connected to the corresponding Raman probe array to deliver the light to samples under each probe. This optical switching driven probing in sequence allows us to rapidly detect Raman scattering of the multiple (n = 8) samples in array within a short time (~ 28 s) with decent sensitivity (10–7 M). The Raman spectroscopy of the system is validated by comparing the features of Raman spectra obtained from vitamin C tablets with those from a commercial Raman microscope and the detection sensitivity is measured with SERS substrates with different concentrations. Then, feasibility of high throughput screening is tested with a SERS chip array.
Children engaging with partitive quotient tasks: elucidating qualitative heterogeneity within the Image Having layer of the Pirie–Kieren model
Authors: George Lois , Voutsina Chronoula 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe paper presents findings from a study that examined, through the lens of the Image Having layer of the Pirie–Kieren model, the qualitative characteristics of the images that different children formed when engaging with eight, novel partitive quotient tasks. The Image Having layer is the first point of abstraction within the Pirie–Kieren model. Therefore, this research is significant in aiming to advance theoretical insight into how the notion of child-created images relates to the development of children’s mathematical understanding, in the context of novel for them tasks. This study adopted a qualitative, microgenetic research design and involved nine Year 5 (aged 9–10 years) children. Data based on children’s verbal responses and jottings were collected through multiple trials over eight individual sessions with each child. Analysis of 72 interview transcripts showed that children formed and used a range of different images that varied across tasks but also within the same task. This study provides a nuanced description of qualitative distinctions in the nature of child-created images. It thus reveals varied dimensions of a dynamic process of knowledge development and sense-making. This highlights, for educators, the need to be aware of and adaptive to the varied and dynamic dimensions of knowledge that children draw from, when dealing with novel tasks, and which change as children’s understanding of new mathematical content develops.

AbstractS500MC steel is a grade of high-strength
low-alloy steel (HSLA) which is widely used in the automotive industry and for agricultural machinery and equipment. Considering properties of this alloy, selection of the welding process and parameters becomes essential to ensure that HSLA assemblies meet specific service requirements. In this work, mechanical and metallurgical properties of S500MC steel produced by autogenous laser beam welding (LBW) and automatic gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) were compared. Tensile testing, metallography, hardness testing, and fractographic analysis were performed on the welded specimens, revealing that the heat input by these welding processes caused significant microstructural changes within the joints. In LBW samples, the heat input about 10 times lower than that in GTAW produced a finer microstructure, narrower fusion zone width, and smaller heat-affected zone. All fractures of the GTAW specimens occurred in the base metal, while all fractures of the LBW specimens occurred in the weld zone, both regardless of the heat input. GTAW joints exhibited higher mechanical properties (even higher than those obtained in the base metal) as compared to LBW joints.
Atomistic understanding of rough surface on the interfacial friction behavior during the chemical mechanical polishing process of diamond
Authors: Yuan Song , Guo Xiaoguang , Wang Hao , Kang Renke , Gao Shang 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe roughness of the contact surface exerts a vital role in rubbing. It is still a significant challenge to understand the microscopic contact of the rough surface at the atomic level. Herein, the rough surface with a special root mean square (RMS) value is constructed by multivariate Weierstrass–Mandelbrot (W–M) function and the rubbing process during that the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process of diamond is mimicked utilizing the reactive force field molecular dynamics (ReaxFF MD) simulation. It is found that the contact area A/A0 is positively related with the load, and the friction force F depends on the number of interfacial bridge bonds. Increasing the surface roughness will increase the friction force and friction coefficient. The model with low roughness and high lubrication has less friction force, and the presence of polishing liquid molecules can decrease the friction force and friction coefficient. The RMS value and the degree of damage show a functional relationship with the applied load and lubrication, i.e., the RMS value decreases more under larger load and higher lubrication, and the diamond substrate occurs severer damage under larger load and lower lubrication. This work will generate fresh insight into the understanding of the microscopic contact of the rough surface at the atomic level.

How do project-oriented organizations enhance innovation? An institutional theory perspective
Authors: Sankaran Shankar , Killen Catherine P. , Pitsis Alexandra 
Published: July 2023

AbstractA project-oriented organization is a hybrid form of organization where a functional hierarchy is augmented with structures to manage projects strategically across the organization. Six project-oriented organizations from diverse industries that emphasize innovation in their strategies were selected for this study. We use the three pillars of institutional theory — regulative, normative and cultural-cognitive — and institutional entrepreneurship to analyze interview data from executive and project, program and portfolio management personnel in the project-oriented organizations to investigate how innovation is facilitated through external influences and internal responses. Our findings indicate that processes and new structures provide effective ways for innovation and, while individuals are important, processes are more effective than individuals at enabling innovation. We put forward some lessons for practice that emerge directly from the findings, including suggestions on improving allocation of resources, a need to focus on processes, reconceptualization of “failure”, and dedicated investment in market knowledge, customer knowledge, performance metrics and flexible governance structures.
Maps on Grassmann spaces preserving the minimal principal angle
Authors: Šemrl Peter 
Published: July 2023

AbstractLet n be a positive integer and H a Hilbert space. The description of the general form of bijective maps on the set of n-dimensional subspaces of H preserving the maximal principal angle has been obtained recently. This is a generalization of Wigner’s unitary-antiunitary theorem. In this paper we will obtain another extension of Wigner’s theorem in which the maximal principal angle is replaced by the minimal one. Moreover, in this case we do not need the bijectivity assumption.
Confronting Challenges to Substantive Remedy for Victims: Opportunities for OECD National Contact Points under a Due Diligence Regime Involving Civil Liability
Authors: Buhmann Karin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This article examines the under-researched, inter-connected issues of substantive remedy and a role for Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) National Contact Points (NCPs) to complement judicial remedy regimes involving civil liability for companies in home-state jurisdictions. Even where access to judicial procedural remedy exists, it need not ensure substantive remedy. Legal and economic resource-based power-disparities between parties can reduce victims’ opportunities to present and argue their case; and courts offer limited substantive remedy options compared with the types listed by the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The article argues that combining access to NCPs and judicial remedy offers important opportunities to address well-recognized challenges for victims’ access to substantive remedy, especially with strong NCPs. NCPs can operate in ways that courts normally cannot, to help give victims voice and a choice of substantive outcome. The European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) proposal serves as a cue for the analysis. However, the issue is relevant for any OECD member or the OECD Guidelines adherent state.
Coastal futures: New framings, many questions, some ways forward
Authors: Spencer Tom , Adams Janine , Le Tissier Martin , Murray A. Brad , Splinter Kristen 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Although coasts are frequently seen as at the frontline of near-future environmental risk, there is more to the understanding of the future of coastal environments than a simple interaction between increasing hazards (particularly related to global sea level rise) and increasing exposure and vulnerability of coastal populations. The environment is both multi-hazard and regionally differentiated, and coastal populations, in what should be seen as a coupled social–ecological–physical system, are both affected by, and themselves modify, the impact of coastal dynamics. As the coupled dance between human decisions and coastal environmental change unfolds over the coming decades, transdisciplinary approaches will be required to come to better decisions on identifying and following sustainable coastal management pathways, including the promotion of innovative restoration activities. Inputs from indigenous knowledge systems and local communities will be particularly important as these stakeholders are crucial actors in the implementation of ecosystem-based mitigation and adaptation strategies.

L'aptitude au travail comme heuristique de mérite dans la formation des opinions à l’égard des personnes assistées sociales
Authors: Blanchet Alexandre , Landry Normand 
Published: July 2023

RésuméCet article étudie les attitudes des Québécois à l’égard des personnes assistées sociales. Il s'intéresse à la variation du niveau d'aide mensuel que les Québécois sont prêts à leur accorder en fonction du profil de prestataires. L'article vise plus spécifiquement à étudier l'influence de l'aptitude au travail en tant qu'heuristique de mérite structurant l'opinion des Québécois. Nos résultats indiquent que les Québécois sont d'avis que les prestataires de l'assistance sociale devraient recevoir des soutiens mensuels inférieurs à ce qu'ils considèrent être le revenu minimum nécessaire pour couvrir les besoins de base. L'opinion des Québécois quant au niveau adéquat d'aide devant être offerte aux personnes assistées sociales est aussi fortement structurée par la question de l'aptitude au travail et par la perception que les individus sont en contrôle de leur situation. Finalement, la notion d'aptitude au travail se distingue clairement d'une variété d'autres caractéristiques individuelles pouvant influencer les opinions des Québécois.
When did Daimones become Demons? Revisiting Septuagintal Data for Ancient Jewish Demonology
Authors: Reed Annette Yoshiko 
Published: July 2023

AbstractRecent research on Jewish demonology has been significantly advanced by evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls. In light of these advances, this article revisits the use of daimones and related terms in the Greek translations of Jewish scriptures commonly called the Septuagint (LXX). Against the tendency to conflate these LXX data into one intermediate stage in the development of the demonology of the New Testament, it calls for further attention to the particular dates and translational tendencies in specific LXX texts, as well as further attention to contemporaneous Aramaic and Hebrew sources. Accordingly, it situates the daimones of LXX Deuteronomy, the Greek Psalter, and LXX Isaiah alongside the emergent demonologies in the Aramaic Enoch literature, Jubilees, 4Q560, and 11Q11. Taken together, these sources attest new literary creativity surrounding transmundane powers among Jews in the Hellenistic period, shaped by distinctive concerns that cannot be reduced to a transitional, proto-Christian moment.
Description and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome in Eulaelaps silvestris provides new insights into the molecular classification of the family Haemogamasidae
Authors: Yang Hui-Juan , Yang Zhi-Hua , Ren Tian-Guang , Dong Wen-Ge 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this study, the mitochondrial genome of Eulaelaps silvestris, which parasitizes Apodemus chevrieri, was sequenced and assembled to fill the gap in understanding the molecular evolution of the genus Eulaelaps. The E. silvestris mitochondrial genome is a double-stranded DNA molecule with a length of 14 882 bp, with a distinct AT preference for base composition and a notably higher AT content than GC content. The arrangement between genes is relatively compact, with a total of 10 gene intergenic regions and 12 gene overlap regions. All protein-coding genes had a typical ATN initiation codon, and only 2 protein-coding genes had an incomplete termination codon T. Out of the 13 protein-coding genes, the 5 most frequently used codons ended in A/U, with only 1 codon ending in G/C had an relative synonymous codon usage value >1. Except for trnS1 and trnS2, which lacked the D arm, all other tRNAs were able to form a typical cloverleaf structure; and there were a total of 38 mismatches in the folding process of tRNA genes. Unlike the gene arrangement order of the arthropod hypothetical ancestor, the E. silvestris mitochondrial genome underwent fewer rearrangements, mainly near tRNA genes and control regions. Both the maximum likelihood tree and the Bayesian tree showed that the family Haemogamasidae is most closely related to the family Dermanyssidae. The results not only provide a theoretical basis for studying the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Eulaelaps, but also provide molecular evidence that the family Haemogamasidae does not belong to the subfamily Laelapidae.
The doing/allowing distinction in the divine context
Authors: Kulesa Ryan 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe theist needs a conception of the distinction between doing and allowing because much of the literature focused on the problem of evil attempts to justify (via theodicy) or defend (via defence) God's allowing evil to occur. I present a counterfactual account of the doing/allowing distinction in the divine context and argue that, even if there are compelling objections to counterfactual accounts of the distinction in the human context, they do not work against such an account in the divine context. The counterfactual analysis to follow will allow the theist to plausibly claim that God does not ever bring about evil, which is crucial to some defences against the problem of evil. I conclude by defending my account against possible objections.
Phenological diversity among sub-tropical moist forest trees of north-eastern India
Authors: Devi Ningthoujam Linthoingambi , Brearley Francis Q. , Tripathi Shri Kant 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Analysing phenological diversity of tropical trees provides a potential tool to detect climate change effects and devise forest management options. In this study, the leaf phenological activity of 28 dominant tree species in a moist sub-tropical hill forest of north-eastern India was examined for a period of 2 years and related to functional traits (i.e. leaf mass per area (LMA) and wood density (WD)). The peak phase of leaf fall occurred in the cool dry period (November to January) with leaf flush peaking in the pre-monsoon period (February to March), but variation was found between species as influenced by their phenological strategy, i.e. evergreen, leaf-exchanging or deciduous (<4 months leafless). Photoperiod and minimum temperature were the environmental factors most strongly correlated with phenological activity, and the synchrony index within species for both phenophases was 0.81. LMA was less in the deciduous species compared with the evergreen species, whereas WD did not differ. LMA was negatively correlated with the length of deciduousness as well as timing of leaf flush and fall indicating that LMA may be more important than WD in influencing phenological patterns in this forest. The study revealed that the phenological diversity of tropical trees is related to changes in environmental variables and has implication for forest management under changing climate. Further study will help in understanding the phenological response of trees to climatic factors and their potential future changes.
