Authors: Aslan Tuba Korkmaz , Burucu Rukiye 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to determine nursing students' views on sustainability and their awareness levels in this regard. The study has a mixed research design. No sampling was made, and it was aimed to access the whole population. Two hundred twenty‐two students were included in the quantitative part of the research, while 16 students participated in the qualitative part. In the study, the Sustainability Awareness Scale and a semi‐structured interview form were used. The quantitative and qualitative data were analysed both separately and in combination. The mean age of the participants was 20.85 ± 1.638 years, and the total scale mean score was 42.80 (38.800–47.200). Family type affects sustainability awareness. The participants reported 103 opinions on sustainability. These opinions were grouped under 4 main themes and 18 subthemes. Two subthemes obtained from the qualitative data were evaluated as “complementary”, and two subthemes were considered “convergent”. Nursing students had a low level of sustainability awareness. To nursing students, sustainability means environmental awareness, justice, renewability, and continuity. Nursing is a profession that is effective in ensuring sustainability. Incorporating sustainability into nursing education will contribute to sustainability in society, especially the sustainability of community health.

ABSTRACTObjectiveAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has a higher incidence in Latin America, with adult patients experiencing worse long‐term outcomes despite high complete remission (CR) rates. When treated with adult regimens, 3‐year overall survival (OS) is approximately 20%. However, adopting pediatric‐inspired regimens (PIRs) has shown improved outcomes.MethodsWe performed a comparative analysis of Hispanic adult patients with newly diagnosed Ph‐negative ALL, treated with either a PIR, a modified CALGB 10403 (mCALGB), or the adult regimen Hyper‐CVAD between January 2015 and May 2023. The primary endpoint was OS and among secondary endpoints relapse‐free survival (RFS).ResultsWe included 100 patients, 35 were treated with Hyper‐CVAD and 65 with mCALGB. Median age was 26 years (range, 20.2–38). The median OS was 54.2 months (95% CI 28.3–80.1), with a non‐reached median OS in the mCALGB group (95% CI NR‐NR) versus 22.4 months (95% CI 13.7–31) for Hyper‐CVAD. The 3‐year OS was 64.9% versus 34.9%, p = 0.034. Treatment with mCALGB was independently associated with OS (HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.13–0.66, p = 0.003) and RFS (HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.14–0.59, p < 0.001).ConclusionsTreatment with mCALGB was independently associated with benefits regarding RFS and OS when compared to Hyper‐CVAD.

Abstract
Plant invasions significantly alter soil food webs, differentially impacting various trophic groups in belowground communities. Myriapods (Myriapoda), a diverse group of soil arthropods, are integral to soil biodiversity and trophic networks.
This study investigated the impact of the invasive Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.) on myriapod assemblages in a protected urban meadow in Budapest, Hungary, over two growing seasons. Comparisons were made between invaded and uninvaded (control) plots using taxonomic and trait‐based diversity indices to assess the effects of habitat alterations due to invasion.
Primary consumers (millipedes and symphylans) were more affected by goldenrod invasion than predators (centipedes). Invaded plots exhibited greater diversity and abundance of millipede assemblages, both taxonomically and functionally, compared to control plots. Symphylans showed a preference for invaded plots, although their abundance was significantly higher only in autumn and during the first year.
The species composition of millipedes and centipedes was strongly influenced by soil moisture. Furthermore, seasonality and habitat type were critical in shaping the taxonomic and trait composition of millipede assemblages. Polydesmus complanatus and the most abundant millipede species, Ophyiulus pilosus, were strongly associated with invaded habitats, while the geophilomorph centipede Pachymerium ferrugineum was linked to control plots.
These findings suggest that the effects of plant invasion vary between trophic groups. Primary consumers, having more direct interaction with the invasive plant, are more sensitive to changes in plant composition and vegetation structure. Despite the generally negative impacts of Solidago invasion, certain myriapod taxa appear to benefit, likely due to a positive plant–soil feedback mechanism.
TRADE LIBERALIZATION AND THE GREAT LABOR REALLOCATION
Authors: Zi Yuan 
Published: January 2025

AbstractI examine how migration frictions shape the effects of trade policy by analyzing the impact of tariff reductions on labor allocation in China and the role of hukou‐based migration frictions. Trade liberalization induces significant labor reallocation, greater in regions with lower hukou frictions. Quantitatively, trade liberalization increases China's welfare by 0.72%. Abolishing the hukou system directly improves welfare by 1.75% but reduces gains from tariff reductions by 18% and amplifies negative distributional effects. In the process, I develop a novel measure of hukou‐related migration frictions.
Cool, Correct or Cordial?: Swiss Attitudes towards American, British and Swiss German English
Authors: Schaffer Gina , Tod Danielle 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis study examines language attitudes in the German‐speaking region of Switzerland towards two inner‐circle standard varieties of English, General American, and Standard Southern British English, and one expanding‐circle variety, Swiss German English. This study is the first to consider Swiss attitudes towards a Swiss variety of English and generational differences in Swiss attitudes. A verbal‐guise experiment and survey were conducted with 88 participants living in the German‐speaking region of Switzerland eliciting evaluations on 19 semantic differential scales reflecting status‐ and solidarity‐based traits. Findings confirm the attitudinal tenor in the expanding circle, with both inner‐circle varieties rated higher overall and on status‐based traits than Swiss German English, while Swiss German English was evaluated higher on solidarity‐based traits. Significant age and gender effects were only found for Standard Southern British English, rated more favourably by younger individuals and females. The implications of these results for the education system in Switzerland are subsequently discussed.
On the Number of Components for Matrix‐Variate Mixtures: A Comparison Among Information Criteria
Authors: Tomarchio Salvatore D. , Punzo Antonio 
Published: January 2025

SummaryThis study explores the crucial task of determining the optimal number of components in mixture models, known as mixture order, when considering matrix‐variate data. Despite the growing interest in this data type among practitioners and researchers, the effectiveness of information criteria in selecting the mixture order remains largely unexplored in this branch of the literature. Although the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) is commonly utilised, its effectiveness is only marginally tested in this context, and several other potentially valuable criteria exist. An extensive simulation study evaluates the performance of 10 information criteria across various data structures, specifically focusing on matrix‐variate normal mixtures.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAimLand surface models (LSMs) currently represent each plant functional type (PFT) as an average phenotype, characterised by a set of fixed parameters. This rigid and constant representation is a limit in understanding the dynamics of highly diverse ecosystems, such as permanent grasslands, and their response to global change.LocationFrance.Time Period2001–2019.Major TaxaGrassland plant species.MethodsWe incorporated spatially explicit trait variability at the France scale in the ORCHIDEE land surface model to assess how the net primary productivity (NPP) will spatially vary over the years. More precisely, we focused on three key functional traits that govern the NPP of grassland ecosystems: specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf nitrogen content (LNC), as measured traits, and leaf lifespan (LLS) as an estimated trait. Community‐weighted means (CWM) were implemented in various combinations with prescribed and spatially varying traits. We compared the outcomes of each NPP simulation to remotely sensed proxies of productivity by using the MODIS satellite‐driven NPP products.ResultsThe sensitivity of NPP to traits depends on climate conditions, such as temperature and water limitation. Considering trait variability decreases the NPP in the most productive regions (plains) and increases the NPP in the less productive regions (mountains) compared to the case with constant trait values. This leads to a more homogenous NPP across France. Compared to the observed MODIS NPP and FLUXCOM GPP, the simulation using varying traits improves the spatial NPP and GPP variations in several regions and most climate conditions.Main ConclusionsBased on the existing trait data, we revealed that incorporating the CWM of traits in an LSM such as ORCHIDEE can be effectively performed. Improving the modelling and predictions by considering the relationships between biodiversity, functional biogeography, and ecosystem functioning is essential in current and future ecological research.

ABSTRACTBackgroundVideo lectures which include the teachers' presence have become increasingly common. As teacher enthusiasm is a nonverbal cue in video lectures, more and more studies are focusing on this topic. However, little research has been carried out on the interactions between teacher enthusiasm and prior knowledge when learning from video lectures.ObjectivesWe tested whether prior chemistry knowledge moderated the impact of teacher enthusiasm on students' chemistry learning during video lectures.MethodsOne hundred and forty‐two Grade 7 (low‐prior chemistry knowledge) and Grade 9 (high‐prior chemistry knowledge) Chinese students engaged with this research. Each group of students was randomised into viewing a video lecture with either a low or high degree of teacher enthusiasm. Outcomes were assessed by attention allocation, learning performance, cognitive load, learning satisfaction and student engagement.Results and ConclusionsOur findings revealed significant benefits of teacher enthusiasm and also showed that prior chemistry knowledge could moderate the impact of teacher enthusiasm on students' attention and cognitive outcomes (cognitive load and transfer). Visual attention mediates the effects on transfer. For students with low prior knowledge, there is more focus on the learning content, lower extraneous cognitive load, and higher transfer scores when watching videos with high levels of teacher enthusiasm; however, students with high prior knowledge do not show these differences. In addition, high prior chemistry knowledge had a significant beneficial impact on the motivational outcomes of the students (satisfaction and engagement).ImplicationsThe results suggest that teacher enthusiasm in a video lecture may affect students' chemistry learning, and students' prior chemistry knowledge should be considered when choosing whether to display teacher enthusiasm.

AbstractHazard vulnerability assessment of critical infrastructures (CIs) is crucial for ranking infrastructures based on their level of criticality, enabling the urban managers to prioritize CIs for allocating funds in the hazard mitigation/recovery process. This study aims to provide a framework for ranking CIs based on a rapid and preliminary flood vulnerability assessment by introducing a methodology for classifying CIs according to their vulnerability to riverine flooding. An indicator‐based vulnerability curve is calculated both quantitatively (using Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in MATLAB) and qualitatively (using susceptibility–exposure matrix), based on which CIs prioritization is accomplished with a focus on functional flood vulnerability considering structural/nonstructural damages. Besides, this study addresses the consequences that a damaged infrastructure may have on the rest of CIs and estimates their vulnerability given the additive impact of the surrounding failed infrastructures considering their interdependence. The methodology was applied to Berat (Albania) and Sarajevo (Bosnia‐Herzegovina) with findings compared to those of a multi‐criteria decision‐making‐based approach commonly used in CI ranking literature. The obtained results from both methods represent that roads are the most vulnerable studied infrastructure in the case of Berat, while regarding the city of Sarajevo, road infrastructures are considered the least vulnerable to riverine floods compared to bridges and schools.
Spatio‐temporal impact of land use changes on nitrogen emissions in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area
Authors: Chen Chen , Zhang Xiaohu , Webster Chris 
Published: January 2025

AbstractLand use changes, especially urban land expansion, exert a profound effect on nitrogen (N) cycles in the interconnected human–natural systems, altering the distribution and intensity of N emissions resulting from anthropogenic activities. However, few studies have revealed the dynamic response of N emissions to diverse land use changes at the regional scale. This study developed a holistic spatial urban metabolism framework that combines land‐use classification, N‐flow modeling, and spatial analysis to examine the heterogeneous land‐related N transitions across cities and timeframes at a fine spatial resolution. Using the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) as the case, we observed a drastic expansion of built‐up land during 1990–2018, mainly converted from cropland (81.35%) and forest (9.55%). Intensified N emissions became increasingly concentrated in densely populated urban areas and croplands in the GBA's western peripheral cities. Land conversion from cropland to built‐up land contributed the most to the rise in N emissions, totaling 368.2 Gg during the study period. The increase in N emission intensity associated with built‐up land expansion gradually fell over time due to enhanced N removal in waste treatment, while the exploitation of water and wetland exhibited the highest average increased intensity of 35.01 t N/km2 after 2010. Our findings highlight the need for tailored and collaborative land management strategies that adapt to different development stages and local conditions to mitigate N pollution in the fast‐urbanizing bay area.

It provides detailed guidance on conducting the activity, including discussion points, sample exam questions, and an analogous, real‐life circumstance.
Things at Work: How Things Contribute to Performing Work
Authors: Sandberg Jörgen , Dall'Alba Gloria , Stephens Anna 
Published: January 2025

AbstractA crucial question for organizations is what constitutes work performance. While the importance of human competence and motivation to work performance has been established, less well understood is how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, and raw materials – contribute to work performance. As ‘intelligent’ and ‘agentic’ technologies become further involved in work, it is increasingly important to understand the impact of things upon work performance. Although research adopting an entanglement perspective (e.g., practice theory, sociomateriality, affordances, science and technology studies) has convincingly demonstrated things are integral to work performance, there is a need for heightened clarity on how things contribute to performing work. Informed by an ontology of things and drawing on an ethnographic study in the biotechnology industry, we propose things are constitutive of work performance in three interrelated ways: (1) by belonging to a nexus of useful things, (2) through performing interlinked roles, and (3) while co‐constituting work performance in concert with practitioners. Our theoretical and empirical account offers a more integrative and comprehensive understanding of how things are constitutive of work performance compared to the existing entanglement literature. This opens several new possibilities for enhancing work performance in organizations, which we outline in the paper.
Evidential transformer for buried object detection in ground penetrating radar signals and interval‐based bounding box
Authors: Tong Zheng , Zhang Yiming , Ma Tao 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThree‐dimensional (3D) buried object detection using ground penetrating radar (GPR) benefits from the powerful capacity of image‐wise deep neural networks. However, it still faces the challenge of information loss from raw GPR signals to two‐ and three‐dimensional images, such as the frequency‐domain information loss when normalizing GPR signals into gray‐scale images and spatial information loss when using stacked B‐ and C‐scan images to replace raw GPR signals as inputs. To solve the challenge, this study has proposed an ENNreg‐transformer model, directly using raw 3D GPR signals to perform buried object detection. In the proposed model, 3D GPR signals are first converted into sequential voxelization to obtain spatiotemporal features. The features are then aggregated by an intuition‐guided feature aggregation layer to simulate the expert behavior to analyze 3D GPR data. Finally, an evidential detection header outputs 3D interval‐based bounding boxes for buried object detection. The experiment on two 3D GPR road datasets demonstrates that the proposed model exceeds other state‐of‐the‐art models on the tasks thanks to raw 3D signals and intuition‐guided feature aggregation. In addition, the interval‐based bounding box represents the spatial bounding‐box uncertainty, which derives from the inherent limitations of GPR and deep networks.
Oral Health Care: A Systematic Review of Clinical Practice Guidelines

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTMaintaining good oral hygiene is essential for preventing and managing oral health problems. This systematic review aimed to identify and assess clinical practice guidelines on oral hygiene, focusing on quality and key areas. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, and organizational websites. Guidelines from health organizations that focused on oral health, hygiene education, and disease prevention were included. Guidelines based on expert opinions and those focusing on specific pathologies were excluded. The AGREE II tool was used to evaluate quality, and a narrative synthesis summarized recommendations across pediatric, adult, and senior age groups. Nine studies were reviewed. Results showed that electric toothbrushes do not significantly outperform manual ones in preventing cavities, though they may reduce plaque. Fluoride toothpaste is less effective if followed by rinsing with water. For adults, mouthwashes with chlorhexidine or sodium fluoride are recommended. Checkups every six months are advised for healthy children and adults. Proper denture care is also emphasized. Regular updates to oral care guidelines are necessary, as oral health affects essential functions and social well‐being.

Summary

Furanocoumarins (FCs) are plant defence compounds derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway via the coumarin umbelliferone that harbour some therapeutic benefits yet are the underlying cause of ‘grapefruit–drug interactions’ in humans. Most of the pathway genes have not been identified in citrus.

We employed a genetic/Omics approach on citrus ancestral species and F1 populations of mandarin × grapefruit and mandarin × pummelo. Enzyme specificity was characterized by In vivo 2‐oxoglutarate‐dependent dioxygenase family (2OGD) activity assays.

We identified a 2OGD multi‐gene cluster involved in coumarin/FC/pyranocoumarin biosynthesis; Species lacking FCs in leaves/fruit were homozygous for a 655‐base solo‐LTR frame‐disrupting insertion within one dual specificity C2′H/F6′H encoding 2OGD gene, demonstrating that integrity of this gene is fully correlated with the capacity to biosynthesize metabolites of the extended FC pathway in leaves/fruit. A second 2OGD is the prominent gene expressed in citrus roots, which contain a unique pattern of extended FC pathway metabolites, including the predominant pyranocoumarins. A third 2OGD gene encodes a single activity F6′H, which appears to be induced at the transcript level by citrus pathogens.

The results provide insights into the genetic basis underlying the difference between citrus fruit FC producers (grapefruit and pummelo) and nonproducers (mandarin and orange) and provide a gene target to breed for FC‐free varieties by marker‐assisted breeding or genome editing.
