Moulding environmental contexts to optimise neurodiverse executive function performance and development: A goodness‐of‐fit account
Authors: Hendry Alexandra , Scerif Gaia 
Published: July 2023

AbstractExecutive functions (EFs) provide a top‐down response to stimuli and events in pursuit of a goal. We argue that the extent to which an individual's environment is enriching and a good fit for them influences whether their performance at that moment is towards their upper‐ or lower‐limit of EF ability. We outline the implications of this for interpreting measures of EF. We next argue that a child's sensitivity to the environment, and their caregivers' ability to modulate the environment to improve goodness‐of‐fit, influences the cumulative effects of the environment in shaping that child's actualised EF ability (the performance level shown in day‐to‐day situations), and thus their skill development. We therefore recommend that EF interventions be designed to improve children's actualised EF ability by improving their day‐to‐day environment, while simultaneously helping children modulate their physiological response to environmental challenges, and providing opportunities to practise EF skills in ecologically‐valid contexts.
Introduction
Authors: Hollander Matthew M. , Turowetz Jason 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The Introduction explains the book’s purpose: it treats the Milgram experiment as an empirical case study of morality in an actual, concrete situation of social interaction, Milgram’s lab. Despite occasional commentary and analysis, in retrospect the connection of Milgram to morality has been a serious blind spot in the Milgram literature. Until now, there has been no sustained, book-length attempt to link Milgram with research on morality per se, despite the important connection. The Milgram renaissance of the past 15 years has fundamentally transformed what is known about Milgram’s lab, especially materials relevant to explaining Obedient behavior. In building on and challenging this research, we recover the constitutive order of interaction that made the experiment possible in the first place, centering participants’ own practices, reasons, and accounts to tell a new, empirically grounded story about Milgram: one about morality (and immorality) in the making of sense and self.
The earliest Nature
Authors: Ragan Mark A. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the earliest concepts of high-level groups of natural beings, as evidenced by early figurative art, symbolic language, folk taxonomies, creation myths, totemism, animal deities, anthropomorphized plants, and early ideas of body and soul. It finds little evidence that high-level concepts of plant and animal have existed from the beginning. Instead, widespread belief in transformation, metamorphosis, metempsychosis, anamnesis, reincarnation, transmutation, and transubstantiation point to fluidity among categories in the natural world. A high-level distinction between plants and animals was not rooted in prehistory.
Neoplatonic Nature
Authors: Ragan Mark A. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Zoophyta gained a foothold in Neoplatonism, an elaborate synthesis of philosophy, mysticism, and religious practise. Neoplatonists held that the cosmos itself, and all within it, has come about by emanation from an unknowable First Principle. Animals and plants are late and rather lowly stages in the resulting continuum, but philosophers sometimes used them to illustrate points of logic. In Isagoge, Porphyry illustrated how genera are differentiated into species: plant and animal are the species of animate corporeal substance. Porphyry’s students, notably Iamblichus, asked whether intermediates are possible, as nature does not pass directly from opposite to opposite; key texts have been lost, but Dexippus, a disciple of Iamblichus, argued that zoophytes mediate between plants and animals. Ammonius Hermiæ and (even more clearly) John Philoponus went farther, arguing that zoophytes are distinct from animals and plants because they use sense, but do not move from place to place.
Monastic and scholastic Nature
Authors: Ragan Mark A. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Learning did not entirely die out in Europe after the execution of Boëthius in 524 ce, but zoophytes were ignored until Marius (probably 1160s) argued that “nothing can exist in the world except animals, vegetables, and minerals”. Grosseteste allowed that certain “water creatures” were a sort of mid-point between plants and animals, while Albert held that sponges and fungi are intermediates between plants and animals. The scholastics left intact most of the ancient ideas about the plant-animal borderland. Pletho brought the term ζωοφύτων to Europe at the Council of Ferrara (1438). The Council itself was a failure, but the new Accademia Platonica sponsored by Cosimo de’ Medici became a conduit for reintroduction of Hellenic thought, including directly into the Church.
Naturphilosophie, polygastric animalcules, and cells
Authors: Ragan Mark A. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This chapter considers the development of high-level biological classification in Germany from the late Eighteenth to the mid-Nineteenth centuries. Transcendental idealism, Romanticism, and the study of nature came together in the 1790s as Naturphilosophie. Symbol, relict, and ancestor were entangled differently in Goethe’s Urpflanze and Oken’s Urthiere. For von Baer, microscopic animals were prototypes of animals of higher grades. Ehrenberg wrongly considered infusoria to be perfect animals with complete alimentary, sensory, and reproductive systems; this interpretation was successfully challenged by Félix Dujardin and others. Biologists debated whether or not protozoa are cells. Late in life, Carl Gustav Carus proposed a kingdom of Protorganismen.
Genes, genomes, and domains
Authors: Ragan Mark A. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the impact of genetics, molecular biology, and genomics on high-level biological classification. The molecular basis of heredity was becoming clear by the 1950s. In 1963 Zuckerkandl and Pauling described molecular sequences as “documents of evolutionary history”. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is present in all biological entities (including plastids and mitochondria) capable of converting genotype to phenotype. Woese revealed rRNA to be a general-purpose chronometer of evolution; his phylogenetic tree of rRNA sequences became the iconic “Tree of Life”. This tree revealed a third domain of life, Archaea, undermining the prokaryote-eukaryote dichotomy. The discovery that bacteria and archaea exchange genetic material with other lineages and the environment implies that much of the living world is best represented as a dynamic, irregular network. Reports that proteins once thought characteristic of eukaryotes are encoded by several types of archaea call into question whether eukaryotes can still be considered a third domain of life.
Assessment of aflatoxin M1 in raw milk samples of some dairy animals from Sohag City, Egypt
Authors: Elsayed Rana Bahaa , Elsharkawy Eman EZZ , Sharkawy Ahmed Abdelbaky 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and concentrations of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in raw buffalo milk samples obtained from four different seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn in Sohag City, upper Egypt, and compared the determined findings against the several regulations regarding AFM1 that have been legislated by the European Union, US Food and Drug Administration and Egyptian Regulations.

Design/methodology/approach
Simultaneous determination of aflatoxins in raw buffalo milk samples trailed in different seasons, in Sohag City, Egypt. The aflatoxin that has been included in this survey is AFM1. Milk samples were obtained from February to October 2021. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used as a methodology technique.

Findings
The results of AFM1 presented the highest frequency of occurrence, with a detected incidence of 85.5% in winter samples, 64.2% in spring samples, 78.5% in summer samples and 78.5% in autumn samples. The positive samples showed concentration range levels of AFM1 between 0.0 and 0.9 µg/kg (12 samples) in winter samples, 0.03 and 1.2 µg/kg in spring milk samples (9 samples), 0.06 and 0.8 µg/kg in summer milk samples (11 samples) and lasted with 0.028 and 0.9 µg/kg in autumn milk samples (11 samples). The percentage of AFM1samples exceeded the maximum residues limit of Egyptian Standard Regulation 2010/7136 last updated, 78%, 57%, 100% and 64% in the four examined seasons, respectively.

Originality/value
The residue levels of AFM1 obtained in the investigated samples represented a serious concern about the health risk of consumers. Milk is introduced to the diet plan all over the people units especially the offspring ones as it is a complete food that contains a lot of important nutrients. So it is worth to set a regular schedule for monitoring and inspection of dairy products for aflatoxin residues.
New hire performance: identifying critical traits for hospitality industry
Authors: Dutta Debolina , Vedak Chaitali , Joseph Varghees 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
High performance of new hires is of imminent interest to organizations in the hospitality sector. Yet, limited studies have focused on the relevant traits of new hires that improve on-job performance. This study aims to identify and understand a few critical traits that predict high performance across multilevel roles within the hospitality sector.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on the human capital theory, through a time-lagged field study spanning 16 months, this study used multisource data for 540 active job opportunities and 205 new hires within the hospitality industry. This study used partial least squares-based structural equation modeling and analyzed the various traits that predict high on-job performance.

Findings
This study finds that humility is a significant predictor of job performance and wholly mediates the effect of interpersonal understanding, self-confidence and flexibility on new hires’ performance.

Originality/value
This study enhances talent management research for the hospitality sector by determining the critical traits of new hires that can predict superior on-job performance.
Enigmatic freshwater mussel declines could be explained by the biodiversity‐disease relationship
Authors: Brian Joshua I. , Aldridge David C. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

The biodiversity‐disease relationship states that increased species richness leads to lower pathogen pressure (i.e. the dilution effect), an effect that erodes with biodiversity loss. However, whether losses of the dilution effect can trigger extinction cascades remains largely unexplored.

To explore this idea, we consider declines in freshwater mussels, on average the most threatened non‐marine group of organisms in the world. We argue that anthropogenically stimulated declines in mussel richness amplify pathogens in remaining species. Pathogen amplification triggers further local losses in both mussel abundance and richness, explaining the observed so‐called “enigmatic” declines in freshwater mussels.

Vulnerable communities could become trapped in cycles of pathogen amplification and host decline. We highlight knowledge gaps and provide key steps to assess the likelihood of this occurring; these key steps are applicable to any host group.

Policy implications. Our argument constitutes a testable hypothesis that may explain richness or abundance declines in previously intact communities. We provide further impetus for the consideration and preservation of diversity at a local scale and show that effective conservation requires integration of both host and parasite ecology.
Provision of health services for elderly populations in rural and remote areas in Australia: A systematic scoping review
Authors: Zheng Ling Xiao , Walsh Erin I. , Sutarsa I. Nyoman 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIntroductionAlthough various studies have examined availability, access barriers and patient experiences of rural health services for the ageing population, no synthesis of this literature exists in Australia.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to examine the current literature surrounding rural service provision and to evaluate the barriers to access for older individuals and to recognise gaps in the literature.DesignA systematic scoping review of peer‐reviewed literature from three online databases (PUBMED, SCOPUS and Web of Science).FindingsThirty‐two papers were included in analysis. The most prominent types of health service discussed were residential aged care (n = 12) and community health care (n = 10). More studies explored the perspectives of health personnel than the service end users. Qualitative synthesis revealed three themes associated with health service and rural ageing: access to services, health workforce experiences and end user experiences.DiscussionAccess to health services for the elderly population is a complex issue. Promoting positive experiences for both health providers and patients is critical to assisting in healthy ageing for people living in rural and remote areas. This requires intervention on a social and institutional level. Key research gaps in the literature include the effectiveness of an integrated approach to institutional interventions, utilisation of preventative measures such as screening programs for cancer and greater identification of the health needs and perceptions among culturally diverse elderly residents. These studies are critical to promote appropriate and patient‐centred care for elderly populations in rural and remote areas.ConclusionThe review highlights the need to address availability, retention and service innovations across health services to improve access to care and health outcomes of rural elderly residents.
Effect of the reaction process between the SEN and molten steel containing aluminum by applying an electric field
Authors: Tian Chen , Yuan Lei , Liu Xiaoming , Wang Qiang 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn view of the clogging problem associated with submerged entry nozzles (SEN) used for aluminum‐killed steel, the reaction behavior between the SEN and molten steel with high Al content with the influence of an external electric field is studied in this paper. The results showed that the application of an effective and positive voltage to the walls of the SEN would promote the decarburization of the SEN itself and the interfacial reaction between nozzle material and molten steel containing aluminum. On the contrary, these behaviors would be inhibited under the control of the negative voltage. Therefore, with the polarity of electric field applied on the SEN, it is necessary to determine whether the critical factor leading to clogging is the content of the Al2O3 inclusions or Al alloy content in the steel.

The Dynamic Purchasing System - A Modern Public Procurement Solution
Authors: Popa Ioan-Gabriel , Milandru Marius 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Public procurement is indeed an inflexible and somewhat immobile field, constantly regulated and monitored by state public authorities. This highlights the need for the legislator to constantly improve, modernise, specialise, develop, and innovate the field of public procurement, taking into account the presence of restrictions, limitations, and unfavourable circumstances manifested in the surrounding economic environment. To achieve this aim, the increasingly varied and complex needs of public institutions that are striving to adapt to the exponential expansion of all spheres of activity must be studied, along with the restrictions created by the permanent economic crisis that generates underfunding at the level of public systems. The dynamic procurement system can play a very important role in the future, as it is a tool that has been often used during the pandemic as an efficient way of carrying out public procurement in a very short time, giving institutions the flexibility to respond to the needs of a changing society. At the same time, it is a modern and novel e-procurement technique, regulated for the first time in 2004. In the same vein, through the provisions of Article 34 of Directive 2014/24/EU and Article 52 of Directive 2014/25/EU, respectively, the European Union has established a digitised single market which calls for the use of electronic procurement tools and methods as part of a comprehensive digital process, supported by the European Commission.
The Role Models and Future Projections of Military Students
Authors: Bumbuc Ştefania 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
At the beginning is brought to attention the meaning of several concepts in the literature - personal success, social achievement, role model and counter-role model. Then, the results of previous quantitative and qualitative researches on the life models of young people in various contexts are briefly presented. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the models and counter-models of success of military students, in order to discover their motivational and inspirational sources and their authentic value benchmarks. The data collection method is a questionnaire consisting of open questions. Students from NBLFA are part of the sample. The results indicated that both role models and counter models of military students generally come from the mass-media and less from the professional environment. Also, students state that work-based strategies are more useful to achieve success than strategies based on capitalizing on exceptional personal qualities or social relationships. Another significant result of the research shows that only a small part of the students considers the success in the military career as an important personal desire, resorting instead to other ways of describing the success in the future: family, house, material goods, health. Taking these into account, teachers should reconsider the most effective ways to have a significant impact in preparing students for future life and profession.
Multiculturalism and Cross-Cultural Competence in the Military Organization
Authors: Corlăteanu Aniela Ioana 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In recent years, more and more often, the human resources departments of large companies but also of military organizations have turned their attention to diversity, multiculturalism and inclusion. Moreover, the need to develop intercultural skills has been recognized, especially in organizations that have expanded their scope of activity globally. Diversity and inclusion causes a company’s employees to create, almost involuntarily, a culture of respect, trust and support within the team, which significantly contributes to organizational success.
The Role of the Translator in Nowadays’ Politically Charged International Environment
Authors: Oneţ Alina-Elena , Ciocoi-Pop Ana-Blanca 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In nowadays’ politically charged and highly unstable environment, translators often find themselves in the difficult position of having to cater both to the original message of a source text, and to the more or less obvious political and social expectations of the media outlets that will broadcast the said political materials. More often than not, unfortunately, magazines and newspapers do not render the full-text translations of the speeches or statements delivered by international political actors, but rather subjectively tinged bits and pieces thereof, in a more or less covert attempt to cater to their readership’s biases and expectations. This brings up a series of challenging questions regarding the ethical dimension of translating political discourse across international boundaries, and the waning importance of faithfulness in the field of international political translation.
