A comparison of paired‐ and multiple‐stimulus‐without‐replacement preference assessments to identify reinforcers for dog behavior
Authors: Payne Steven W. , Fulgencio Cintya Toledo , Aniga Reynafe N. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDogs may be relinquished to shelters and are unlikely to be adopted if they engage in problem behavior. A successful way to eliminate problem behavior is through training techniques based on behavioral principles. Obedience training with the use of positive reinforcement has been successful in treating problematic behavior by dogs. In order for this method to work, it is essential that the stimuli selected function as reinforcers. Preference assessments can be used to identify these potential reinforcers. A preference assessment is a systematic method used to identify stimuli that may serve as possible reinforcers by yielding preference hierarchies. Although preference and reinforcer assessments have been successfully used with humans, research with nonhuman animals is limited. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and efficiency of paired‐stimulus preference assessment with a multiple‐stimulus preference assessment. The results suggested that the results of both preference assessments corresponded with reinforcer assessments but that the paired‐stimulus method was the most efficient.

Published: May 2023

AbstractAs hospital medicine continues to evolve, the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) recognizes the importance of periodic re‐evaluation and adaptation of The Core Competencies in Hospital Medicine to reflect and guide the continual expansion of hospitalists' scope of practice. Since its first publication in 2006, the Core Competencies were last revised in 2017 to reflect existing practice. The Core Competencies were initially developed to describe hospitalists' roles and expectations and identify growth opportunities. As hospital medicine has expanded, SHM seeks to maintain the Core Competencies as a framework to guide curricular development, enhance practice assessment, improve the quality of care, and cultivate systems‐based practices. Additionally, it helps elucidate the clinical and systems‐based aspects central to the field. Thus, the new chapters in the 2023 clinical conditions update focus on enhancing individual hospitalist practice in evaluating and managing common clinical conditions. The accompanying article describes the chapter review and revision process and the criteria for new chapter selection.
Reduction of nitrogen losses in agriculture by fertilizer additives: Appeal for more detailed scientific work—Comments on Guo et al. “Efficacy of four nitrification inhibitors for the mitigation of nitrous oxide emissions under different soil temperature and moisture,” Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science (2022), 185(1), 60–68

AbstractIn Guo et al. (2022), the difference between pure nitrification inhibitors (NI), fertilizers treated with NI, and formulations containing NI was insufficiently considered. Presented results are misleading and inappropriate to evaluate the efficiency of an NI application by pure NI as well as NI‐treated products such as ENTEC® 26 and PIADIN®, in particular with respect to practical field conditions.
CATAIN: An underwater camera system for studying settlement in fouling communities at high temporal resolution
Authors: Meyer‐Kaiser Kirstin S. , Schrage Kharis R. , Suman Stefano , Bailey John , Girdhar Yogesh 
Published: May 2023

AbstractAt present, studies on settlement in marine fouling communities are limited to easily accessible habitats that can be monitored on a daily basis. There are large knowledge gaps regarding settlement patterns on sub‐daily temporal scales and in remote areas. In order to fill these knowledge gaps, we have designed an underwater camera system named CATAIN—CAmera To Analyze INvertebrates—and have compared our approach to standard methods. The key innovation of CATAIN is that the acrylic endcap of the housing serves as the fouling panel itself, with organisms being photographed through the transparent endcap from the underside. This set‐up circumvents the common problem of biofouling on camera housings. Using this system, researchers can record high‐resolution images of sessile benthic invertebrates and macroalgae at time intervals ranging from just a few minutes to several days and for months to a year at a time. CATAIN enables studies on temporal patterns in settlement, postsettlement mortality, growth, and other ecological parameters with no human intervention. This system expands sampling possibilities in remote environments where it is impractical for a researcher to be present every day.

Published: May 2023

AbstractAimAs the craniofacial morphology has major effects on the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Asians, factors contributing to the severity of OSA may differ depending on craniofacial characteristics. This study investigated factors affecting OSA severity in patients according to craniofacial morphological type.MethodsStudy participants comprised 227 men examined following a diagnosis of OSA between May 2017 and October 2021. We examined cephalometric X‐rays and results of polysomnography on presentation, and classified the craniofacial morphological type of the participant as “long face type” (Group L) for facial axis (Fx) angle <86° or as “short face type” (Group S) for Fx angle ≥86°. We conducted stepwise binomial logistic regression analysis with apnea‐hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events/h or AHI < 15 events/h as the dependent variable and age, body mass index (BMI), and the cephalometric parameters SNA, SNB, Fx, PNS‐P, MPT, MP‐H, SPAS, MAS, and IAS as independent variables.ResultsBMI and PNS‐P in Group S and BMI and MP‐H in Group L were identified as independent predictors of AHI ≥ 15 events/h.ConclusionsFactors affecting severity of OSA differ by craniofacial morphological type, with factors of obesity and hyoid bone position for long face‐type patients and obesity and soft palate length for short face‐type patients. Optimal treatment requires consideration of craniofacial morphology and establishment of treatment policies that take causative factors into account.

AbstractInstructionHypericum bellum Li is rich in xanthones with various bioactivities, especially in anti‐breast cancer. While the scarcity of mass spectral data of xanthones in Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) libraries have challenged the rapid recognition of xanthones with similar structures.ObjectiveThis study is aimed to enhance the molecular networking (MN)‐based dereplication and visualisation ability of potential anti‐breast cancer xanthones from H. bellum to overcome the scarcity of xanthones mass spectral data in GNPS libraries. Separating and purifying the MN‐screening bioactive xanthones to verify the practicality and accuracy of this rapid recognition strategy.MethodologyA combined strategy of “seed” mass spectra‐based MN, in silico annotation tools, substructure identification tools, reverse molecular docking, ADMET screening, molecular dynamics (MDs) simulation experiments, and an MN‐oriented separation procedure was first introduced to facilitate the rapid recognition and targeted isolation of potential anti‐breast cancer xanthones in H. bellum.ResultsA total of 41 xanthones could only be tentatively identified. Among them, eight xanthones were screened to have potential anti‐breast cancer activities, and six xanthones that were initially reported in H. bellum were obtained and verified to have good binding abilities with their paired targets.ConclusionThis is a successful case study that validated the application of “seed” mass spectral data could overcome the drawbacks of GNPS libraries with limited mass spectra and enhance the accuracy and visualisation of natural products (NPs) dereplication, and this rapid recognition and targeted isolation strategy can be also applicable for other types of NPs.

Authors: Dhanorkar Ritesh J. , Mohanty Subhra , Misra Ashok , Gupta Virendra Kumar 
Published: May 2023

AbstractNanoemulsion polymerization is a novel process for the synthesis of specialty‐purpose latexes. In this work, styrene and 1,4‐butadiene polymerization are demonstrated through a nanoemulsion‐based process. Conventional emulsifiers like rosin soap and fatty soaps are used to prepare base emulsions having 2–10 nm particle size through the sonication process. The high surface area and higher number of micelles allow superior mixing of monomers and initiators leading to more efficient and rapid reaction. Additionally, the use of nanoemulsion improves the efficiency and quality of emulsion with higher productivity. These latexes have unique high molecular weight polymers with smaller particle size which is the most desirable criterion for coating applications. Finally, nanoemulsion‐based polymer is compared with conventional macroemulsion‐based product.

AbstractBACKGROUNDControlled‐release pesticide formulations have emerged as a promising approach towards sustainable pest control. Herein, an environment‐friendly formulation of insecticide chlorantraniliprole (CAP) was fabricated through a simple approach of coprecipitation‐based synchronous encapsulation by chitosan (CTS), with carrier–pesticide interaction mechanism and release behavior investigated.RESULTSThe resulting CAP/CTS controlled‐release formulation (CCF) showed a good loading content of 28.1% and a high encapsulation efficiency of 75.6%. Instrument determination in combination with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations displayed that the primary interactions between CAP and CTS were physical adsorption and complicated hydrogen (H)‐bonds, which formed dominantly between NH in amides [or nitrogen (N) in ring structures] of CAP and hydroxyl (or amino) groups of CTS, as well as oxygen (O) in CAP with hydrogen in CTS or H2O molecules. The in vitro release tests exhibited obvious pH/temperature sensitivity, with release dynamics following the first‐order or Ritger–Peppas model. As the temperature increased, the CAP release process of the Ritger–Peppas model changed from Case‐II to anomalous transport, and ultimately to a Fickian diffusion mechanism. The control effect against Plutella xylostella larvae also was evaluated by toxicity tests, where comparable efficacy of CCF to the commercial suspension concentrate was obtained.CONCLUSIONThe innovative, easy‐to‐prepare CCF can be used as a formulation with obvious pH/temperature sensitivity and good efficacy on target pests. This work contributes to the development of efficient and safe pesticide delivery systems, especially using the natural polymer materials as carriers. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
Exploring Conductance Quantization Effects in Electroformed Filaments for Their Potential Application to a Resistance Standard
Authors: Suñé Jordi , Aguirre Fernando , Bargalló González Mireia , Campabadal Francesca , Miranda Enrique 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe ballistic conduction through narrow constrictions connecting charge reservoirs exhibits conductance quantization effects. Since the quantum of conductance is only related to fundamental constants of nature, these effects might allow the implementation of a standard of resistance, fulfilling the requirements of the 2019 revised International System of Units. Moreover, this standard would be able to work at room temperature and without a magnetic field, thus allowing its on‐chip implementation. In this work, the authors propose that breakdown filaments in thin oxide layers might be useful to this purpose. In particular, conductance quantization effects in nanolaminate Al2O3/HfO2 dielectrics are reported and the role of intrinsic values of conductance and extrinsic parasitic elements are analyzed. The fact that breakdown filaments are irreversible is an advantage due to their expected stability and to the lack of cycle‐to‐cycle variations (as compared to resistive switching devices). Although the reported sample‐to‐sample variations are still too large for a real application, there is room for improving the controlover breakdown filaments through material design and electroforming conditions. Provided that this control is achieved, an on‐chip implementation of a resistance standard for the realization of self‐calibrating electrical systems and equipment with zero‐chain traceability would be possible.
Community‐centred approach for assessing social sustainability in mining regions: A case study of Chingola district, Zambia

Published: May 2023

AbstractSocial sustainability has received the least attention among the three‐pillars of sustainable development in the mining regions of Africa. However, with the rapid population growth globally, social sustainability assessment using clearly defined indicators is becoming essential to ensuring urban sustainability, specifically in mining regions. This study assessed the contribution of the mining industry to the social sustainability of the Chingola district in terms of cumulative impacts and the extent to which CSR initiatives have contributed to a social sustainability profile. Mixed methods including in‐depth key informant interviews guide and observation were used to collect data on social sustainability. The data were collected from 10 out of the 28 wards of Chingola, selected using a systematic random sampling. A total of 500 households of which 49 households (with a sampling unit of 10) and 10 key informants' stakeholders were purposively selected. Aggregation and normalization techniques were used to construct the composite indicators depicting the strength of each indicator. The social sustainability of the Chingola district based on the calculated composite indicators varies from weak‐to‐moderate sustainability. The proposed indicators could serve local government and mining companies, redirect development schemes, re‐strategize the stakeholders' involvement, and support corporate governance.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
We describe a number of improvements to the Geneva method for matching NNLO calculations to parton shower programs. In particular, we detail changes to the resummed calculation used in the matching procedure, including disentangling the cross section dependence on factorisation and beam scales, and an improved treatment of timelike logarithms. We also discuss modifications in the implementation of the splitting functions which serve to make the resummed calculation differential in the higher multiplicity phase space. These changes improve the stability of the numerical cancellation of the nonsingular term at small values of the resolution parameter. As a case study, we consider the gluon-initiated Higgs boson production process gg → H. We validate the NNLO accuracy of our predictions against independent calculations, and compare our showered and hadronised results with recent data taken at the ATLAS and CMS experiments in the diphoton decay channel, finding good agreement.
Rotating black holes with Nil or SL(2, ℝ) horizons
Authors: Faedo Federico , Klemm Silke , Mariotti Pietro 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
We construct rotating black holes in N = 2, D = 5 minimal and matter- coupled gauged supergravity, with horizons that are homogeneous but not isotropic. Such spaces belong to the eight Thurston model geometries, out of which we consider the cases Nil and SL(2, ℝ). In the former, we use the recipe of [1] to directly rederive the solution that was obtained by Gutowski and Reall in [2] as a scaling limit from a spherical black hole. With the same techniques, the first example of a black hole with SL(2, ℝ) horizon is constructed, which is rotating and one quarter BPS. The physical properties of this solution are discussed, and it is shown that in the near-horizon limit it boils down to the geometry of [2], with a supersymmetry enhancement to one half. Dimensional reduction to D = 4 gives a new solution with hyperbolic horizon to the t3 model that carries both electric and magnetic charges. Moreover, we show how to get a nonextremal rotating Nil black hole by applying a certain scaling limit to Kerr-AdS5 with two equal rotation parameters, which consists in zooming onto the north pole of the S2 over which the S3 is fibered, while boosting the horizon velocity effectively to the speed of light.
Twisted indices, Bethe ideals and 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 infrared dualities

Abstract
We study the topologically twisted index of 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 supersymmetric gauge theories with unitary gauge groups. We implement a Gröbner basis algorithm for computing the Σg× S1 index explicitly and exactly in terms of the associated Bethe ideal, which is defined as the algebraic ideal associated with the Bethe equations of the corresponding 3d A-model. We then revisit recently discovered infrared dualities for unitary SQCD with gauge group U(Nc)k,k+lNc with l ≠ 0, namely the Nii duality that generalises the Giveon-Kutasov duality, the Amariti-Rota duality that generalises the Aharony duality, and their further generalisations in the case of arbitrary numbers of fundamental and antifundamental chiral multiplets. In particular, we determine all the flavour Chern-Simons contact terms needed to make these dualities work. This allows us to check that the twisted indices of dual theories match exactly. We also initiate the study of the Witten index of unitary SQCD with l ≠ 0.

Persisting symptoms after Cryptosporidium hominis outbreak: a 10-year follow-up from Östersund, Sweden
Authors: Boks Marije , Lilja Mikael , Widerström Micael , Karling Pontus , Lindam Anna , Sjöström Malin 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn late 2010, an outbreak of Cryptosporidium hominis affected 27,000 inhabitants (45%) of Östersund, Sweden. Previous research shows that abdomen and joint symptoms commonly persist up to 5 years post-infection. It is unknown whether Cryptosporidium is associated with sequelae for a longer duration, how persisting symptoms present over time, and whether sequelae are associated with prolonged infection. In this prospective cohort study, a randomly selected cohort in Östersund was surveyed about cryptosporidiosis symptoms in 2011 (response rate 69.2%). A case was defined as a respondent reporting new diarrhoea episodes during the outbreak. Follow-up questionnaires were sent after 5 and 10 years. Logistic regressions were used to examine associations between case status and symptoms reported after 10 years, with results presented as adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals. Consistency of symptoms and associations with case status and number of days with symptoms during outbreak were analysed using X2 and Mann–Whitney U tests. The response rate after 10 years was 74% (n = 538). Case status was associated with reporting symptoms, with aOR of ~3 for abdominal symptoms and ~2 for joint symptoms. Cases were more likely to report consistent symptoms. Cases with consistent abdominal symptoms at follow-up reported 9.2 days with symptoms during the outbreak (SD 8.1), compared to 6.6 days (SD 6.1) for cases reporting varying or no symptoms (p = 0.003). We conclude that cryptosporidiosis was associated with an up to threefold risk for reporting symptoms 10 years post-infection. Consistent symptoms were associated with prolonged infection.
Narrating the preservation of a film school archive – Re-configuring the hero’s journey across the nexus of conservation and film production
Authors: Lyon Donna , Sloggett Robyn 
Published: May 2023

AbstractNarrating the preservation of a film school archive–Re-configuring the hero’s journey across the nexus of conservation and film production. In 2013, a program to secure the future of the more than 1800 films produced by students in the Victorian College of Arts’ Department of Film and Television commenced at the University of Melbourne. This is a highly significant collection, with films from 1966 to the present, that contains work by some of Australia’s pre-eminent producers, cinematographers, scriptwriters, and others. Utilising narrative frameworks theory, and particularly the victim to hero narrative, this paper explores the journey taken to preserve this archive and make it accessible to current and future students and the public. This makes explicit the value of narrative inquiry as a method for active rethinking and reframing of the project, the opportunities for democratisation and increasing plurality during the project and highlighted the need to contest the celebratory narrative of project completion to ensure that the continued risk to the hero-archive remains a central institutional concern.
