Authors: Perdomo Carolina M. , Avilés-Olmos Icíar , Dicker Dror , Frühbeck Gema 
Published: May 2023

AbstractObesity is a complex disease that relapses frequently and associates with multiple complications that comprise a worldwide health priority because of its rising prevalence and association with numerous complications, including metabolic disorders, mechanic pathologies, and cancer, among others. Noteworthy, excess adiposity is accompanied by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and subsequent organ dysfunction. This dysfunctional adipose tissue is initially stored in the visceral depot, overflowing subsequently to produce lipotoxicity in ectopic depots like liver, heart, muscle, and pancreas, among others. People living with obesity need a diagnostic approach that considers an exhaustive pathophysiology and complications assessment. Thus, it is essential to warrant a holistic diagnosis and management that guarantees an adequate health status, and quality of life. The present review summarizes the different complications associated with obesity, at the same time, we aim to fostering a novel framework that enhances a patient-centered approach to obesity management in the precision medicine era.
A pedagogy of freedom as a viable basis for implementing gender equality in Ukraine’s educational institutions
Authors: Rastrygina Alla , Ivanenko Nadiya 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn the state policies of European Union (EU) member countries, gender issues have become one of the main priorities since the 1990s, and independent Ukraine and Ukrainian non-governmental organisations have also gradually joined this agenda. Over the past three decades, Ukraine has engaged in efforts to restructure its educational institutions and processes on the basis of democratic principles free from any form of discrimination, including gender-related discrimination. These efforts have been promoted through joint projects with UN Women and other international organisations. While gender equality improvement strategies are now reflected in Ukrainian legislation, they are not yet fully implemented on the ground. In the context of presenting their concept of a pedagogy of freedom as a viable basis for the implementation of gender equality in Ukraine’s educational institutions, the authors analyse research literature devoted to addressing freedom and gender equality in educational policies. They conclude that individual learners’ free self-determination, self-development and self-realisation can only be an effective factor in realising gender equality if pedagogical activity and learning spaces are designed to support the development of learners’ full potential.
Literacy: A lever for citizenship?
Authors: Robinson-Pant Anna 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWithin citizenship education, literacy is often promoted in a narrow functional sense of skills for civic engagement or is used synonymously with “knowledge” to refer to an awareness-raising process around rights. Through an analysis of evolving models of citizenship, this article moves beyond literacy for citizenship to consider the ways in which literacy learning can emerge through active citizenship. Drawing on published ethnographic studies of literacy in everyday life to analyse both the symbolic and instrumental meanings of literacy in specific contexts, the author introduces a social practice lens on literacy and citizenship. She explores the pedagogical implications for literacy within citizenship education, particularly in relation to informal learning of “real literacies”, critical digital literacy to distinguish “fake news” and literature as a way of entering someone else’s experiences. UNESCO’s current vision for global citizenship education as nurturing empathy and understanding between peoples implies that literacy providers need to recognise participants as not only consumers, but as co-constructors of texts.
Identifying and managing data quality requirements: a design science study in the field of automated driving

Published: May 2023

AbstractGood data quality is crucial for any data-driven system’s effective and safe operation. For critical safety systems, the significance of data quality is even higher since incorrect or low-quality data may cause fatal faults. However, there are challenges in identifying and managing data quality. In particular, there is no accepted process to define and continuously test data quality concerning what is necessary for operating the system. This lack is problematic because even safety-critical systems become increasingly dependent on data. Here, we propose a Candidate Framework for Data Quality Assessment and Maintenance (CaFDaQAM) to systematically manage data quality and related requirements based on design science research. The framework is constructed based on an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) case study. The study is based on empirical data from a literature review, focus groups, and design workshops. The proposed framework consists of four components: a Data Quality Workflow, a List of Data Quality Challenges, a List of Data Quality Attributes, and Solution Candidates. Together, the components act as tools for data quality assessment and maintenance. The candidate framework and its components were validated in a focus group.
Measurement of three-dimensional shrinkage deformations and volumes of stabilised soft clay during drying with Structure from Motion photogrammetry
Authors: Li Zhong-Sen , Korkiala-Tanttu Leena , Sołowski Wojciech 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe paper applies the Structure from Motion photogrammetry technique to measure three-dimensional shrinkage deformations of a cylindrical specimen during drying. A clay–binder mixture was statically compacted, and its shrinkage behaviour was observed for four weeks with a newly established photogrammetric system. The complete surface information including XYZ coordinates and RGB values was then reconstructed and formed into dense point cloud data, with which the volume change and shrinkage deformations are computed. In volume change determination, the reconstructed dense point cloud achieves a fine reproduction of the specimen surface, leading to satisfactory accuracy. The computed volume deviation was within 495.3 mm3 (0.24%) and 4170 mm3 (1.83%) for the dummy cylinder and clay specimen, respectively. Both values are significantly smaller than the volume deviations computed with a classical approach that involves artificially creating markers on the specimen surface. In the computation of shrinkage deformations, the paper proposes a novel method that detects the fast point feature histogram of the point clouds and then matches the detected descriptors, leading to an improvement in three-dimensional deformation determination. The compacted sample shrinks, and the computed axial deformations increase quasi-linearly with height. However, due to the noticeable tilt that occurred during drying, the calculated radial deformations are scattered at the same height and appear misleading. Circumferential deformations and strains are therefore adopted to represent the true material behaviour.

Published: May 2023

ZusammenfassungDiese Studie untersucht den kurzfristigen Einfluss der Tagespflege auf die kindliche Entwicklung im Vergleich zur Betreuung in der Kita. Internationale Studien deuten darauf hin, dass der Besuch einer Tagespflege im Vergleich zur Kita eher negative Auswirkungen auf Kinder hat. Mithilfe der Neugeborenen-Kohorte des NEPS können wir evaluieren, ob dies auch im deutschen Kontext gilt. Wir nutzen zwei verschiedene methodische Ansätze, um den Effekt der Tagespflege zu schätzen. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Tagespflege für die Mehrzahl der untersuchten Entwicklungsindikatoren keinen statistisch signifikant schlechteren Einfluss auf die kindliche Entwicklung hat, außer im Bereich der Habituation.
Dietary change and land use change: assessing preventable climate and biodiversity damage due to meat consumption in Germany

Published: May 2023

AbstractLand use change (LUC) is responsible for a large share of the emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) and is a major driver of global biodiversity loss. Although much of the global LUC-related CO2 emissions and biodiversity loss occur in tropical countries, the actual drivers of this LUC can be located in the global North, particularly through the import of large quantities of agricultural commodities. The aim of this study is to quantify and monetize the LUC-related impacts of the consumption of animal-based food products in Germany and subsequently explore the potential benefits of transitioning to diets with lower dependence on animal-based products. We calculate the LUC-related impacts of consumption of animal-based products in Germany through a modeling approach that combines models for land balance, emissions, and physical trade. We determine the LUC-related CO2 emissions of this consumption, as well as the deforested area and associated impacts on biodiversity loss. Following the true cost accounting approach (TCA), the LUC-related impacts are monetized to estimate the external costs of the German consumption of animal-based products. Our results show that the consumption of these products is responsible for the deforestation of 16.4 kha annually in the period between 2013 and 2016. Out of the six analyzed animal-based product groups, the largest shares of deforestation are associated with milk (35%) and pork (33%) consumption. However, beef meat consumption has the highest relative LUC-related CO2 emissions at 0.75 tCO2 per ton. The LUC-related externalities of the German meat-based product consumption incur annually societal costs of EUR 1.1 billion (plus EUR 0.5 billion for biodiversity loss). The results also show that the animal-based products imported in Germany have only slightly higher LUC-related CO2 emissions than those produced within Germany. Overall, there is a great urgency for policy measures and shifts in consumer behavior to ensure that the consumption of animal-based products in Germany does not have unacceptably high negative sustainability impacts.
Investigation of the altered influence of physical stress by the use of ergonomically optimized forging tongs

Published: May 2023

AbstractWork-related illnesses and the resulting employee absences can have a major impact on productivity and competitiveness, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises. Particularly in the forging industry, the manual handling of forged parts leads to high physical stress and thus to frequent illnesses of the musculoskeletal system, especially of the hand-arm system. One possibility to counteract this circumstance is the use of ergonomic forging tongs. In the study presented here, the influence of ergonomic forging tongs on the physical stress of forging employees was investigated by simulation and experiment and compared to conventional forging tongs. Within the simulation and the experimental investigation, forging parts and forging tongs were varied. In the simulation, an ergonomics assessment of the forging situation could be evaluated using the Ergonomic Assessment Worksheet. In the experimental study, gripping force measurements and calorie measurements were used to determine the impact of handling the forging tongs on the forging employees. The results show that the use of the new ergonomically optimized forging tongs can lead to a significant physical relief for the forging employees. The knowledge gained from the ergonomically developed concepts can also be transferred in other industries.

AbstractPostweaning stress in mammalian in vivo models leads to significant oxidative stress in the body as well as inducing hormonal disturbance. In this study, we assessed progressive alterations in reactive oxygen species (ROS), which at high levels can show oxidative stress, in addition to oxidative damage to the DNA structure of rabbits. Different groups of rabbits were fasted for 48 h per week for 3 weeks, fed a commercial diet with probiotics added (200 mg of Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis), and fasted while being treated with probiotics. The results showed that weaning induced a significant elevation in oxidative stress markers, such as the ROS-related genes malate dehydrogenase 1 (MDH1) and flavin-containing monooxygenase 2 (FMO2), DNA damage, and hormonal disturbance. However, probiotic treatment resulted in significant decreases in the levels of malondialdehyde, cortisol, and triiodothyronine (T3); DNA damage; and apoptosis, as well as changes in the expression of ROS-related genes. On the other hand, supplementation with probiotics reduced these postweaning stress signs in fasted animal models by elevating the genes encoding catalase and superoxide dismutase as well as increasing glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione–s-transferase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, and thyroxin (T4) levels. The results suggest that supplementation with probiotics accompanied by a fasting program could decrease oxidative stress, ROS genes, and genomic DNA damage and improve the hormonal status that is induced by postweaning stress in mammalian in vivo models.

ZusammenfassungWenn Kinder und Jugendliche in Deutschland die Schule nicht besuchen, werden die Gründe hierfür häufig individuell bei ihnen selbst und/oder ihren Eltern gesucht. Mit dem vorliegenden Schwerpunkt soll der Blick geweitet werden, und es soll gezeigt werden, dass es gerade auch die strukturellen Zusammenhänge sind, die Schulabsentismus als Phänomen im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse hervorbringen. Erst diese Sichtweise kann zeigen, wie Kinder, Jugendliche und ihre Eltern, aber auch Lehrer_innen und sozialpädagogische Fachkräfte in diese Strukturen eingewoben und welche Handlungsalternativen für die Beteiligten möglich sind.

AbstractThis study investigated the anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of brewery by-products for biomethane and bioenergy recovery, focusing on operational performance evaluation, kinetic analysis, microbial metataxonomic, and metabolic function prediction. The biochemical methane potential was conducted under mesophilic (35 °C) and methanogenic conditions (pH 7.5) by mixing brewery wastewater and sludge from the brewery wastewater treatment plant (1:1, v/v), following the addition (2.5 – 12.5 %, w/v) of brewer’s spent grains (BSG). The results demonstrate that the highest methane yield (88.02 mL CH4/g TVS) was obtained with 12.5 % BSG, which was 20.66-fold higher than the control reactor operated with wastewater and sludge (4.26 mL CH4/g TVS). The bioenergy recovery from biomethane could generate electricity (0.348 kWh/kg TVS) and heat (1556 MJ/kg TVS), avoiding greenhouse gas emissions (0.114 kg CO2-eq/kg TVS). The microbial community dynamics revealed a predominance of Halobacterota, Chloroflexi, and Euryarchaeota phylum. The genera Methanosaeta and Methanobacterium, and the Anaerolineaceae family predominated in the AcoD process. The metabolic function prediction showed the presence of genes (K01895, K00193, K00625, and K00925) associated with the direct activation of acetate in the acetoclastic pathway and methane production. Finally, the data obtained provide a perspective on using brewery by-products for bioenergy production in a biorefinery concept, reducing the environmental impacts and contributing to the circular bioeconomy transition of the beer industry.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
In 2015, to enhance the development of agriculture-based income of small and marginal farmers through sustainable irrigation sources, restoration of 27,472 tanks on massive scale was initiated by the Government of Telangana with people’s participation. Ground water department monitored water levels and water quality of 172 wells identified from 9 overstressed watersheds in the state and studied the impact of tank restoration on groundwater regime for 6 years. Well hydrographs of monitoring wells reflect a rising trend of 0.80 m/year to 2.87 m/ year in different watersheds with an average of 1.27 m/year. The trends have demonstrated an 19% more rise (average) in the influence zone as compared to the wells in non-influence zone. A significant improvement in groundwater quality in the influence zone was observed as the concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride (Cl-), nitrate (NO3-) decreased in the range of 5.8 to 91.1 mg/l/year (average, 7.7 mg/l/year); 1.4 to 33.1 mg/l/year (average, 5.3 mg/l/year) and 0.9 to 16.9 mg/l/year (average, 3.6 mg/l/year) respectively, while the bicarbonate ( HCO3-) showed significant increasing trend ranging from 1.3 to 47.2 mg/l/year (average, 16.6 mg/l/year). HCO3-/ Cl- ratios suggest more freshening of groundwater in tank influence zones than in non-influence zones. The tank restoration programme increased groundwater storage and thus provided an increase in land and agricultural productivity. It is recommended to bring policy initiatives for taking up such massive tank restoration programmes in similar geo-environments by involving people at the village level, to sustain the long-term positive impact and to address the water requirements of people all over the country.

Abstract
In the present study, diurnal and seasonal variations of atmospheric particulate matters (PMs) were estimated in urban and rural areas of Lucknow. The monitoring of PM10 and PM2.5 was conducted at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU) and Mohanlalganj, Lucknow, during the winter (WNTR) and summer (SMR). The PM10 levels during the day* and night** time were found to be in the range of 192-256 (223 ± 23)*, 244-306 (268 ± 25)** and 171-193 (182 ± 7)*, 199-240 (214 ± 15)**, while PM2.5 was 117-151 (131 ± 12)*, 113-153 (135 ± 14)**, and 94-116 (107 ± 10)*, 108-125 (118 ± 6)** μg/m3 at the BBAU and Mohanlalganj locations, respectively. During night-time (NT), the mass concentration of PM10-2.5 pollutants were found to be higher than day-time (DT) at both locations. The levels of PM10-2.5 were higher during WNTR than SMR season at each location probably due to prevailing meteorological conditions. The levels of atmospheric PMs at the BBAU location were higher than at the Mohanlalganj site. The morphology and elemental compositions (ECs) of particulates revealed rod, spherical and irregular shape particles having biogenic, carbonaceous, aluminosilicates and variable components. The morphological features (MFs) of PM10-25 pollutants exhibited distinct variation during DT and NT. Both times (DT and NT) carbonaceous particles were found at BBAU, whereas calcium-rich/asbestos/cement particles were present during DT and fly ash was abundant in NT at Mohanlalganj. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis of PM10-2.5 revealed the presence of inorganics (silica, silicate, sulphate and particulate water) and organics (aliphatic/carbonyl carbons) functional groups which are geogenic and anthropogenic in origin.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The late Campanian/Maastrichtian succession exposed in the Pondicherry area provides one of the best exposed marine sections in the Cauvery basin and is examined for its foraminiferal contents. The biostratigraphic distribution of 72 species of planktonic foraminifera has been used to identify eleven planktonic zones and subzones and correlated to the global bioevents.
The present biostratigraphic analysis has revealed four bioevents in the late Campanian-Maastrichtian sediments of the Pondicherry area. The first one was associated with the Radotruncana calcarata (CF10), which correlated to the late Campanian event (LCE); the second bioevent was associated with the Rugoglobigerina rotundata (CF7a) and the Rugoglobigerina scotti CF7b, which correlated to the (Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary event (CMBE); the third bioevent is associated with Globotruncana linneiana and Contusotruncana contusa, which correlated to middle Maastrichtian event (MME). The fourth bioevent associated with the Racemiguembelina fructicosa, which is correlated with the late Maastrichtian event (LME) associated with the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary in the studied area.
Three principal climate and faunal associations were identified in the present study in Cauvery basin; (1) worldwide cooling with minimal variation in the late Campanian-earliest Maastrichtian observed through extraordinary diversification for the Cretaceous mostly accomplished in the early Maastrichtian (Event-1, C31r), (2) warming and stable high diversity (Event-2, upper C31r to lower C30n), (3) return to global cooling and high-stress environments (Event-3, C30n),
