AbstractToday's software industry is global, virtual, and depending more than ever on strong and reliable processes. Stakeholders and infrastructure are distributed across the globe, posing challenges that go beyond those with co‐located teams and servers. Software Engineering continues to be a complex undertaking, with projects challenged to meet expectations, especially regarding costs. We know that Software Engineering is an ever‐changing discipline, with the result that firms and their employees must regularly embrace new methods, tools, technologies, and processes. In 2020, the International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE) and the International Conference on Systems and Software Processes (ICSSP) joined forces aiming to create a holistic understanding of the software landscape both from the perspective of human and infrastructure distribution and also the processes to support software development. Unfortunately, these challenges have become even more personal to many more in 2020 due to the disruption introduced by the COVID‐19 pandemic, which forced both conferences to be held virtually. As an outcome of the joint event, we selected a set of the best papers from the two conferences, which were invited to submit extended versions to this Special Issue in the Journal of Software: Maintenance and Evolution. Dedicated committees were established to identify the best papers. Eight papers were invited and ultimately, seven of these invited papers have made it into this Special Issue.

Published: February 2023

AbstractChemical upcycling of waste plastics into high‐value‐added products is one of the most effective, cost‐efficient, and environmentally beneficial solutions. Many studies have been published over the past few years on the topic of recycling plastics into usable materials through a process called catalytic pyrolysis. There is a significant research gap that must be bridged in order to use catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastics to produce high‐value products. This review focuses on the enhanced catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastics to produce jet fuel, diesel oil, lubricants, aromatic compounds, syngas, and other gases. Moreover, the reaction mechanism, a brief and critical comparison of different catalytic pyrolysis studies, as well as the techno‐feasibility analysis of waste plastic pyrolysis and the proposed catalytic plastic pyrolysis setup for commercialization is also covered.

AbstractIn this research, ZnAlLa‐itaconate‐LDHs was synthesized by means of Co‐precipitation‐hydrothermal method. The effects of aluminum‐lanthanum ratio, co‐precipitation time, hydrothermal time, and hydrothermal temperature on the crystal structure were studied. As a result, the optimum condition was found to be: n(Al3+): n(La3+) = 10:1, co‐precipitation time 24 h, hydrothermal time 8 h, and hydrothermal temperature 180°C. The influence of ZnAlLa‐itaconate‐LDHs on the thermal stability properties and plasticizing properties of PVC were investigated, exhibiting long‐term stability of 76 min with short plasticizing time of 1.11 min. Long‐term thermal stability mechanism was studied by FTIR before and after hydrochloric acid treatment. It was demonstrated that the thermal stabilizer ZnAlLa‐itaconate‐LDHs prevented the rupture of the CCl bond in PVC and inhibited the development of HCl. Consequently, impeded the production of CC bond and playing a role in thermal stabilization of PVC.

AbstractIn the dry zone of Sri Lanka, human‐made reservoirs (locally called tanks or wewas) have served for the collection, storage and distribution of rainfall and runoff and provided irrigation water for the cultivation of paddy for 2400 years. This water management system is deeply inscribed in the rural communities utilizing and maintaining it. Local knowledge connected to the utilization of this system is regarded as a substantial part of the intangible cultural heritage of this unique cultural landscape. In the dry zone of Sri Lanka this system had spread from the fifth century BCE onwards from the hinterland of the ancient capital Anuradhapura throughout the entire dry zone and provides a prerequisite for paddy cultivation. From approximately the 13th century onwards, written sources give evidence, that a weakening of state bureaucracy led to a decline of the water management system. In the Colonial period, numerous reservoirs were restored and the implementation of new governance structures lead to a diminishing of water supplies and conflicts at a local level. In post‐Colonial times, since the 1950s, the system had undergone rapid changes triggered by governmental and economic developments (e.g., land use change, migration). The rich local knowledge, serves in line with a high degree of adaptation to local conditions, as a corner stone for its resilience. A future sustainable management requires the integration of local knowledge in combination with modern techniques in education, planning, and application.This article is categorized under:

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe prevalence of ocular disorders is dramatically increasing worldwide, especially those that cause visual impairment and permanent loss of vision, including cataract, glaucoma, age‐related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Extensive evidence has shown that ncRNAs are key regulators in various biogenesis and biological functions, controlling gene expression related to histogenesis and cell differentiation in ocular tissues. Aberrant expression and function of ncRNA can lead to dysfunction of visual system and mediate progression of eye disorders. Here, we mainly offer an overview of the role of precise modulation of ncRNAs in eye development and function in patients with eye diseases. We also highlight the challenges and future perspectives in conducting ncRNA studies, focusing specifically on the role of ncRNAs that may hold expanded promise for their diagnostic and therapeutic applications in various eye diseases.This article is categorized under:

Der nicht-reduktive Physikalismus
Authors: Rolffs Matthias 
Published: February 2023

ZusammenfassungDie Grundidee des nicht-reduktiven Physikalismus besagt, dass mentale und spezialwissenschaftliche Eigenschaften zwar nicht mit physischen Eigenschaften identisch sind, aber dennoch so eng an physische Eigenschaften gebunden sind, dass man von einer auf grundlegender Ebene rein physischen Welt sprechen kann. In diesem Kapitel expliziere ich diese Grundidee detailliert und grenze den nicht-reduktiven Physikalismus von anderen Positionen ab.
Nicht-reduktiver Physikalismus und mentale Verursachung
Authors: Rolffs Matthias 
Published: February 2023

ZusammenfassungLaut dem Vorwurf des Epiphänomenalismus kann der nicht-reduktive Physikalismus der Existenz mentaler Verursachung nicht Rechnung tragen. Da es sich bei der Annahme mentaler Verursachung zugleich um eine absolut zentrale und unverzichtbare Annahme handele, sei der nicht-reduktive Physikalismus aufzugeben. Er führe unweigerlich in die absurde Position des Epiphänomenalismus, demzufolge es keine mentale Verursachung gibt. Ziel dieses Kapitels ist es, den Vorwurf des Epiphänomenalismus ausführlich zu rekonstruieren und verschiedene Reaktionen auf den Vorwurf zu diskutieren.
Seed Storage and Packaging
Authors: Dadlani Malavika , Gupta Anuja , Sinha S. N. , Kavali Raghavendra 
Published: February 2023

AbstractStorage is an essential component of seed programmes, which primarily aims at maintaining the high-quality standards of the seed from harvest till the time of sowing the crop in the next or successive seasons. In addition to this, seeds are also stored for longer durations to maintain stocks for seed trade at national and international levels as per market demands and as a buffer against crop failures in times of natural calamities or other exigencies, to maintain seeds of the parental lines for hybrid seed production in one or more seasons, to conserve active genetic stocks for breeding purposes, and to maintain germplasm for long term use. Seeds of most of the agriculturally important species are categorised as orthodox or desiccation-tolerant. Their longevity increases with decrease in storage temperature and the relative humidity of the storage environment (or seed moisture content). However, notwithstanding the constitutional differences among plant species concerning seed longevity, being a living entity, every seed undergoes deteriorative changes during storage, even in dry stores, primarily in terms of germination and vigour due to physiological deterioration, and changes brought by the presence of the pests and pathogens. A good seed programme aims at maintaining the high planting value of the seed in terms of purity, germination, vigour, and seed health during storage by taking care in seed handling, controlling the temperature and relative humidity of the store (or seed moisture in case of hermetically sealed containers), and following good sanitation practices. Considering that the facilities for conditioned storage may not be accessible and affordable in many situations, alternative solutions may be considered, especially for on-farm seed storage.
Seed Dormancy and Regulation of Germination
Authors: Nautiyal P. C. , Sivasubramaniam K. , Dadlani Malavika 
Published: February 2023

AbstractSeed germination and dormancy are vital components of seed quality; hence, understanding these processes is essential for a sound seed production system. The two processes are closely interrelated and regulated, both by genetic as well as environmental factors. While dormancy provides an inherent mechanism aimed at the survival of the plant species to withstand adverse external conditions by restricting the mature seed from germinating, the ability of the dehydrated seed to remain viable and produce a vigorous seedling upon hydration under favourable conditions is the key to the survival and perpetuation of the plant species. In addition, quality seed is expected to result in timely and uniform germination under favourable field conditions after sowing to establish a healthy crop stand. Therefore, in seed technology, dormancy is not considered a desirable trait in the seed lots used for sowing. Thus, to achieve the highest germination percentage, understanding the factors controlling these two interlinked and contrasting processes is vital. In seed testing and seed trade, knowledge of seed germination and dormancy is needed for a reliable assessment of seed quality and its planting value, and to make right decisions. Though much is yet to be understood, the present status of knowledge on these aspects has made significant advances, especially in genetic control, molecular mechanism, and physiological and environmental factors influencing germination and dormancy. The information compiled in this chapter may help the seed technologists in developing new methods for breaking dormancy and testing germination,
Principles of Quality Seed Production

Published: February 2023

AbstractPlant breeding and seed technology are the two arms of crop improvement programmes. The ultimate goal of any plant breeding programme is to make available quality seeds of new improved varieties in adequate quantity to farmers. Modern plant breeding techniques have enabled the development of crop varieties with desired traits at a much higher pace than ever before, addressing the challenges of food and nutritional security. A large number of new crop varieties are being bred continuously to address specific needs viz. productivity, quality, tolerance against abiotic and biotic stresses, cropping intensity, etc. However, to the farmers, all these scientific achievements would be of little use unless they have access to seeds of these varieties, which are genetically pure, physiologically sound (germination, vigour), free from physical impurities and seed-borne diseases. The pace of progress in food production largely depends upon the speed with which a country is able to multiply quality seeds of high-yielding varieties. Hence, the quality seed supply chain must be supported by desired policy and technically sound systems both in national and international domains. In order to achieve this, every country needs a well-established infrastructure for seed production, quality assurance, storage and marketing. Similarly, the regulatory framework for the variety testing, release and notification, and regulation of the seed market are also important to preserve the interests of the farming community. Successful seed production requires establishing variety identity, adherence to maintaining variety purity, and the application of good farming practices along with careful management of crops, following widely accepted production technologies, and quality standards.
Vegetable Seed Production

Published: February 2023

AbstractUnlike field crops where the cultural practices of raising seed crops are mostly similar to the commercial crops, in case of the vegetables, not only the seed crops are grown for a much longer duration than the crops raised for the vegetable purpose, they often also have critical requirements of photoperiods, temperatures, humidity and precipitation. Moreover, compared to field crops, most of vegetable seeds are considered high value and low volume, and hence these require specific care in pre-harvest stages, i.e. isolation and roguing, during harvesting and extraction, and post-harvest operations such as drying, processing, packaging and storage. Due to their vast diversity in growth pattern, induction of flowering and pollination behaviour, seed production procedures need to be followed for each group, e.g. cole crops, cucurbits, leafy vegetables, root crops, solanaceous, malvaceous crops, etc. General principles and standard practices in vegetable seed production are provided in this chapter.
Principles of Variety Maintenance for Quality Seed Production
Authors: Weissmann Elmar A. , Yadav R. N. , Seth Rakesh , Udaya Bhaskar K. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractDevelopment of new plant varieties is key to sustainable agriculture, specially given that climate change poses newer challenges with uncertainties of production ecosystems. However, to accrue the full genetic potential of a variety, it is essential to maintain the variety in true-to-type, as it was released for commercial use. The methodology adopted to maintain the genotypic constitution of a variety through the series of multiplication (generations) is known as variety maintenance or maintenance breeding. Its successful implementation needs a thorough understanding of the breeding methodology, varietal characteristics, and the influence of the environment on them. Though specific procedures of variety maintenance are followed for each crop group, which are based on their flowering, pollination behaviour and other essential traits, the basic principles are based on the mode of pollination (self- or cross-pollinated) and genetic constitutions.
Strong cosmic censorship in light of weak gravity conjecture for charged black holes
Authors: Sadeghi Jafar , Alipour Mohammad Reza , Gashti Saeed Noori 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the strong cosmic censorship conjecture (SCC) for charged black holes in the de Sitter space by considering the weak gravity conjecture (WGC). Using analytical methods, we find that the SCC is preserved for dS-charged black holes with respect to some restriction qQ » 1 and r+≥ Q with the help of the WGC condition viz $$ \frac{q}{m} $$

q

≥ 1 for scalar fields. Where q, m are the charge and mass of the scalar field, and r+, Q determine the radius of the outer event horizon and the charge of the black hole, respectively. In that case, when the (WGC) is valid, SCC will definitely be satisfied for the dS-charged black holes. On the other hand, the SCC is violated when the WGC is not satisfied. Also, we examined the RN-dS charged black hole in the extremality state and found that SCC can be violated with the condition $$ \Lambda {r}_{+}^2 $$

Abstract
Purpose
Machine learning (ML) has shown promise in modelling future self-harm but is yet to be applied to key questions facing clinical services. In a cohort of young people accessing primary mental health care, this study aimed to establish (1) the performance of models predicting deliberate self-harm (DSH) compared to suicide attempt (SA), (2) the performance of models predicting new-onset or repeat behaviour, and (3) the relative importance of factors predicting these outcomes.

Methods
802 young people aged 12–25 years attending primary mental health services had detailed social and clinical assessments at baseline and 509 completed 12-month follow-up. Four ML algorithms, as well as logistic regression, were applied to build four distinct models.

Results
The mean performance of models predicting SA (AUC: 0.82) performed better than the models predicting DSH (AUC: 0.72), with mean positive predictive values (PPV) approximately twice that of the prevalence (SA prevalence 14%, PPV: 0.32, DSH prevalence 22%, PPV: 0.40). All ML models outperformed standard logistic regression. The most frequently selected variable in both models was a history of DSH via cutting.

Conclusion
History of DSH and clinical symptoms of common mental disorders, rather than social and demographic factors, were the most important variables in modelling future behaviour. The performance of models predicting outcomes in key sub-cohorts, those with new-onset or repetition of DSH or SA during follow-up, was poor. These findings may indicate that the performance of models of future DSH or SA may depend on knowledge of the individual’s recent history of either behaviour.
Microsurgical and illustrative anatomy of the cavernous sinus, middle fossa, and paraclival triangles: a straightforward, comprehensive review

AbstractThe middle fossa, cavernous sinus, and paraclival triangles consist of ten triangles. Their use in a surgical approach is vast; most are used as landmarks to access and identify other structures of surgical interest. Multiple labels, borders, and contents mentioned by different authors make understanding and reproduction challenging and confusing. This study aims to organize and clarify recent or most relevant publications and disclose our portrayal of the ten triangles using cadaveric dissection and simple and practical figures. Four middle fossa triangles, four cavernous sinus triangles, and two paraclival triangles were dissected and delineated in a cadaveric specimen. Drawings were simplified to eliminate confusion and evaluate the triangles effortlessly. Similarities and differences in triangle names, border limits, and contents are described in a precise form. The recognition of triangle landmarks allows for treating pathologies in a frequently distorted anatomy or challenging to access structure. That is why an accurate knowledge of the surgical anatomy should be mastered, and a safe approach should be accomplished.

Abstract
Purpose
Hematotoxicity is a common side-effect of cytotoxic gastrointestinal (GI) cancer therapies. An unsolved problem is to predict the individual risk therefore to decide on treatment adaptions. We applied an established biomathematical prediction model and primarily evaluated its predictive value in patients undergoing chemotherapy for GI cancers in curative intent.

Methods
In a prospective, observational multicenter study on patients with gastro-esophageal or pancreatic cancer (n = 28) receiving myelosuppressive adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (FLO(T) or FOLFIRINOX), individual model parameters were learned based on patients’ observed laboratory values during the first chemotherapy cycle and further external data resources. Grades of hematotoxicity of subsequent cycles were predicted by model simulation and compared with observed data.

Results
The most common high-grade hematological toxicity was neutropenia [19/28 patients (68%)]. For the FLO(T) regimen, individual grades of thrombocytopenia and leukopenia could be well predicted for cycles 2–4, as well as grades of neutropenia for cycle 2. Prediction accuracy for neutropenia in the third and fourth cycle differed by one toxicity grade on average. For the FOLFIRINOX-regimen, thrombocytopenia predictions showed a maximum deviation of one toxicity grade up to the end of therapy (8 cycles). Deviations of predictions were less than one degree on average up to cycle 4 for neutropenia, and up to cycle 6 for leukopenia.

Conclusion
The biomathematical model showed excellent short-term and decent long-term prediction performance for all relevant hematological side effects associated with FLO(T)/FOLFIRINOX. Clinical utility of this precision-medicine approach needs to be further investigated in a larger cohort.
