AbstractA feeding strategy that maintains high content of functional molecules in buffalo milk has been verified by giving Sorghum vulgare as green fodder, but it is not available all year round. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inclusion of former food products (FFPs) containing 87% biscuit meal (nonstructural carbohydrate: 60.1%; starch 14.7; crude protein 10.6), in the diet of buffaloes in terms of: (a) fermentation characteristics through gas production technique; (b) milk yield (MY) and quality; (c) content of some biomolecules and total antioxidant activity. The experiment was performed involving 50 buffaloes divided into two groups: Green group and FFPs group (animals fed Total Mixed Ration with either green forage or FFPs respectively). Daily MY was recorded and milk qualitative analyses were determined monthly for 90 days. Furthermore, fermentation characteristics of the diets were studied in vitro. No significant differences were recorded in feed intake, BCS and MY and quality. Similar in vitro fermentation data of two diets were found, with slight differences in terms of gas production and degradability. During the incubation, kinetic parameters showed a faster fermentation process with the diet of the FFPs group in relation to Green group (p < 0.05). Green group had higher levels (p < 0.01) of γ‐butyrobetaine, glycine betaine, l‐carnitine and propionyl l‐carnitine in milk, whereas no differences were observed for δ‐valerobetaine and acetyl l‐carnitine. Total antioxidant capacity and iron reduction antioxidant assay were higher (p < 0.05) in the plasma and milk of the Green group. The administration of a diet high in simple sugars, obtained with FFPs, seems to favour the ruminal biosynthesis of some metabolites in milk, such as δ‐valerobetaine and acetyl‐
l‐carnitine, similar to green forage administration. Overall, the use of biscuit meal can be an alternative to green fodder when it is not available to ensure environmental sustainability and optimize costs without compromising milk quality.
The Who, What, and How of Wisdom: An Exploration in Karl Barth and his ‘Descendants’
Authors: McCracken Kyle 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn light of recent interest among theologians in the category of wisdom, I offer my own reflection on the theme vis‐à‐vis the theology of Karl Barth, as well as two of his theological 'descendants' who have given a programmatic place to 'wisdom’ in their seminal projects: David Ford and David Kelsey. I structure this exploration according to three fundamental questions: 1. With whom is wisdom identified? 2. What is wisdom to those who have been exposed to its revelation? 3. How is this wisdom revealed to people? I show how Barth argues that a true account of wisdom depends on answering the first question first and doing so with key reference to scripture's witness to God's saving activity.

Summary
Modern agriculture needs large quantities of phosphate (Pi) fertilisers to obtain high yields. Information on how plants sense and adapt to Pi is required to enhance phosphorus‐use efficiency (PUE) and thereby promote agricultural sustainability.
Here, we show that strigolactones (SLs) regulate rice root developmental and metabolic adaptations to low Pi, by promoting efficient Pi uptake and translocation from roots to shoots.
Low Pi stress triggers the synthesis of SLs, which dissociate the Pi central signalling module of SPX domain‐containing protein (SPX4) and PHOSPHATE STARVATION RESPONSE protein (PHR2), leading to the release of PHR2 into the nucleus and activating the expression of Pi‐starvation‐induced genes including Pi transporters. The SL synthetic analogue GR24 enhances the interaction between the SL receptor DWARF 14 (D14) and a RING‐finger ubiquitin E3 ligase (SDEL1). The sdel mutants have a reduced response to Pi starvation relative to wild‐type plants, leading to insensitive root adaptation to Pi. Also, SLs induce the degradation of SPX4 via forming the D14‐SDEL1‐SPX4 complex.
Our findings reveal a novel mechanism underlying crosstalk between the SL and Pi signalling networks in response to Pi fluctuations, which will enable breeding of high‐PUE crop plants.
The evolutionary responses of life‐history strategies to climatic variability in flowering plants

Published: May 2023

Summary

The evolution of annual or perennial strategies in flowering plants likely depends on a broad array of temperature and precipitation variables. Previous documented climate life‐history correlations in explicit phylogenetic frameworks have been limited to certain clades and geographic regions.

To gain insights which generalize to multiple lineages we employ a multi‐clade approach analyzing 32 groups of angiosperms across eight climatic variables. We utilize a recently developed method that accounts for the joint evolution of continuous and discrete traits to evaluate two hypotheses: annuals tend to evolve in highly seasonal regions prone to extreme heat and drought; and annuals tend to have faster rates of climatic niche evolution than perennials.

We find that temperature, particularly highest temperature of the warmest month, is the most consistent climatic factor influencing the evolution of annual strategy in flowering plants. Unexpectedly, we do not find significant differences in rates of climatic niche evolution between perennial and annual lineages.

We propose that annuals are consistently favored in areas prone to extreme heat due to their ability to escape heat stress as seeds, but they tend to be outcompeted by perennials in regions where extreme heat is uncommon or nonexistent.

Published: May 2023

AbstractAnemia is a major global public health concern with a complex etiology. The main determinants are nutritional factors, infection and inflammation, inherited blood disorders, and women's reproductive biology, but the relative role of each varies between settings. Effective anemia programming, therefore, requires evidence‐based, data‐driven, contextualized multisectoral strategies, with coordinated implementation. Priority population groups are preschool children, adolescent girls, and pregnant and nonpregnant women of reproductive age. Opportunities for comprehensive anemia programming include: (i) bundling interventions through shared delivery platforms, including antenatal care, community‐based platforms, schools, and workplaces; (ii) integrating delivery platforms to extend reach; (iii) integrating anemia and malaria programs in endemic areas; and (iv) integrating anemia programming across the life course. Major barriers to effective anemia programming include weak delivery systems, lack of data or poor use of data, lack of financial and human resources, and poor coordination. Systems strengthening and implementation research approaches are needed to address critical gaps, explore promising platforms, and identify solutions to persistent barriers to high intervention coverage. Immediate priorities are to close the gap between access to service delivery platforms and coverage of anemia interventions, reduce subnational coverage disparities, and improve the collection and use of data to inform anemia strategies and programming.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe effectiveness of fetal echocardiography in reducing the mortality from congenital heart disease (CHD) is largely unknown.ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate whether the widespread use of fetal echocardiography owing to the initiation of insurance coverage in Japan was associated with a decreasing trend in the annual number of CHD‐related deaths.MethodsData regarding the number of deaths from CHD in infants aged <12 months were extracted from Japanese demographic statistics (2000–2018). Segmented regression analysis was performed on the interrupted time series data by stratifying the sample into CHD subgroups based on ICD‐10 classification and sex.ResultsAfter the initiation of insurance coverage for fetal echocardiography in 2010, a decrease was observed in the trends of annual deaths in patients with congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves (ratio of trends before and after the initiation of insurance coverage for fetal echocardiography 0.96, 95% confidence interval 0.93, 0.99). In this group, the decrease persisted after adjusting for annual total infant deaths and cardiac surgery mortality and in the analysis of trends in the proportion of deaths in this group per total CHD deaths. However, a decrease in trends was not observed in other patient groups with CHD. In the sex‐stratified analysis, a decrease was noted only in male patients with congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves.ConclusionsThe nationwide trend in annual CHD deaths decreased after the initiation of insurance coverage for fetal echocardiography only among patients with congenital malformation of aortic and mitral valves. These findings suggest that prenatal diagnosis with fetal echocardiography has led to improved mortality outcomes among these patients in Japan.
Does deception involve more cognitive control than truth‐telling? Meta‐analyses of N2 and MFN ERP studies

Published: May 2023

AbstractA number of psychological theories propose that deception involves more cognitive control than truth‐telling. Over the last decades, event‐related potentials (ERPs) have been used to unravel this question, but the findings are mixed. To address this controversy, two meta‐analyses were conducted to quantify the results of existing studies reporting N2 or medial frontal negativity (MFN) associated with deception. In total, 32 papers consisting of 1091 participants were included, which yielded 32 effect sizes for N2 and 7 effect sizes for MFN. We found that deception was associated with a more negative N2 and MFN than truth‐telling with medium and large effect sizes (r = .25 and .51, respectively). We also found that the deception paradigm modulated the results (p = .043), but found no evidence for publication bias. Our findings indicate that deception involves more cognitive control than truth‐telling. Our review also identifies gaps in this literature, including a need for more ERP studies using spontaneous deception.
Contextual valence influences the neural dynamics of time and magnitude representation during feedback evaluation

Published: May 2023

AbstractContextual valence is an important dimension during value‐based decision‐making. Previous research has revealed behavioral and neural asymmetries between the gain context and the loss context. The present event‐related potential study investigated the effects of contextual valence on neural dynamics underlying magnitude and time, two important reward dimensions, during feedback evaluation. Forty‐two participants performed a simple guessing task in which they experienced both a gain context wherein high or low rewards were delivered immediately or six months later, and a loss context wherein high or low losses were delivered in the same way. Results showed that in the gain context, time and magnitude information were processed in a parallel way during the time windows of the reward positivity (RewP) and the P3. In the loss context, however, time and magnitude information were processed in a serial way such that time information was encoded during the RewP and P3 periods, whereas magnitude information was not tracked until the time window of the late positive potential. Our findings suggest that the neural dynamics underlying time and magnitude information are distinct between the gain and loss contexts, thus providing a novel perspective for the well‐known gain–loss asymmetry.
Outlier detection based on extreme value theory and applications
Authors: Bhattacharya Shrijita , Kamper Francois , Beirlant Jan 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWhether an extreme observation is an outlier or not depends strongly on the corresponding tail behavior of the underlying distribution. We develop an automatic, data‐driven method rooted in the mathematical theory of extremes to identify observations that deviate from the intermediate and central characteristics. The proposed algorithm is an extension of a method previously proposed in the literature for the specific case of heavy tailed Pareto‐type distributions to all max‐domains of attraction. We propose some applications such as a tail‐adjusted boxplot which yields a more accurate representation of possible outliers, and the identification of outliers in a multivariate context through an analysis of associated random variables such as local outlier factors. Several examples and simulation results illustrate the finite sample behavior of the algorithm and its applications.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundCurrent studies have revealed that acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can alleviate the adverse effects of cancer; however, its effectiveness on the psychological flexibility, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and quality of life of patients with cancer remains unclear.AimsThe aims of this study were to identify the effectiveness of ACT on psychological flexibility, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and quality of life of patients with cancer, and to explore moderators.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, CINAHL, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang electronic databases were searched from inception to September 29, 2022. The Cochrane Collaboration's risk‐of‐bias assessment tool II and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach were used to evaluate evidence certainty. The data were analyzed using R Studio. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022361185).ResultsThe study included 19 relevant studies (1643 patients) published between 2012 and 2022. The pooled results showed that ACT significantly improved psychological flexibility (mean difference [MD] = −4.22, 95% CI [−7.86, −0.58], p = .02) and quality of life (Hedges' g = 0.94, 95% CI [0.59, 1.29], Z = 5.31, p < .01) but did not significantly improve fatigue (Hedges' g = −0.03, 95% CI [−0.24, 0.18], p = .75) or sleep disturbance (Hedges' g = −0.26, 95% CI [−0.82, 0.30], p = .37) in patients with cancer. Additional analyses revealed a 3‐month sustainable effect on psychological flexibility (MD = −4.36, 95% CI [−8.67, −0.05], p < .05), and moderation analysis showed that intervention duration (β = −1.39, p < .01) and age (β = 0.15, p = .04) moderated the effects of ACT on psychological flexibility and sleep disturbance, respectively.Linking Evidence to ActionAcceptance and commitment therapy demonstrates effectiveness for psychological flexibility and quality of life of patients with cancer, but there is a lack of evidence regarding its effects on fatigue and sleep disturbance. In clinical practice, ACT should be designed in more detail and rounded to achieve better results.
Comparison of the Eulerian and Lagrangian Approaches to Studying the Peculiarities of the Interstellar Dust Distribution in the Heliosphere in the Framework of the Cold Gas Model
Authors: Godenko E. A. , Izmodenov V. V. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Interstellar dust grains penetrate into the heliosphere (region in which the solar wind propagates) due to the relative motion of the Sun and the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM). Inside the heliosphere, the motion of dust particles is mainly governed by the electromagnetic force determined by the heliospheric magnetic field. Under the action of this force, the trajectories of dust grains experience intersections with each other and self-intersections. As a result, dust density accumulation regions appear. These regions are of a great interest in the context of theoretical studying and planning of upcoming space missions. The main aim of the present study is to model the interstellar dust distribution in the heliosphere and investigate the peculiarities of the number density distribution. To describe the dusty component, the cold gas model is used, while to compute the interstellar dust distribution two approaches are considered, namely, the Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches. For solving the continuity equation in the Lagrangian coordinates, the full Lagrangian method or the Osiptsov method is used. As a result, all the peculiarities of the dust distribution are investigated and it is found that they are located on caustics, i.e., the envelopes of interstellar dust trajectories. Besides it, the regular regions of overdensity (without singularities in the number density) are discovered. It is shown that the dust component accumulation regions are located in a small neighborhood of the heliospheric current sheet, at which the magnetic field changes its polarity, and in the tail of the heliosphere. The effectiveness of the Osiptsov method of solving the continuity equation is compared with the widely used Monte Carlo method (Eulerian approach). It is shown that Monte Carlo method requires extremely high resolution of computational grid to reach the level of accuracy comparable with the Osiptsov method.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The paper describes an investigation of lubricants synthesized by thickening a dispersion medium consisting of silicone oil (PES-5) and poly-α-olefin oil (PAOM-12) with diureas of different compositions. The study revealed the effects of the compositions both of the dispersion medium and urea thickener, as well as their ratio in the lubricating formulation, on the major physicochemical properties of resultant greases. Increasing the content of the hydrocarbon component of the grease was shown to improve the physicochemical properties. Finally, the optimum grease composition was identified: introducing a polyurea thickener that contained diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate resulted in the synthesis of greases that had adequate operating characteristics and an improved wear performance.

Published: May 2023

IntroductionTo reduce the transmission of COVID-19, regulations included the use of cloth masks, sanitising regularly, maintaining social distance and having minimal personal contact. COVID-19 affected many different groups of people including service providers and users of correctional centres. In this protocol, we aim to establish evidence on the challenges and coping strategies adopted by the incarcerated and service providers of the incarcerated during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods and analysisIn this scoping review, we will use the Arksey and O’Malley framework. We will consult PubMed, PsycInfo, SAGE, JSTOR, African Journals and Google Scholar as our databases to search for evidence, and run a continuous search of articles from June 2022 until we conduct an analysis to ensure that our search results are updated. Two reviewers will independently screen the titles, abstracts and full texts for inclusion. All results will be compiled, and duplicates will be removed. Discrepancies and conflicts will be discussed with the third reviewer. All articles that meet the full-text criteria will be included for data extraction. Results will be reported in line with the review objectives and the Donabedian conceptual framework.DisseminationEthical approval of the study will not be applicable in this scoping review. Our findings will be disseminated in different ways, such as publishing in peer-reviewed journals and to other key correctional system stakeholders, as well as submitting a policy brief for prison decision makers and policy makers.

PurposeThe POPPY II cohort is an Australian state-based cohort linking data for a population of individuals prescribed opioid medicines, constructed to allow a robust examination of the long-term patterns and outcomes of prescription opioid use.ParticipantsThe cohort includes 3 569 433 adult New South Wales residents who initiated a subsidised prescription opioid medicine between 2003 and 2018, identified through pharmacy dispensing data (Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) and linked to 10 national and state datasets and registries including rich sociodemographic and medical services data.Findings to dateOf the 3.57 million individuals included in the cohort, 52.7% were female and 1 in 4 people were aged ≥65 years at the time of cohort entry. Approximately 6% had evidence of cancer in the year prior to cohort entry. In the 3 months prior to cohort entry, 26.9% used a non-opioid analgesic and 20.5% used a psychotropic medicine. Overall, 1 in 5 individuals were initiated on a strong opioid (20.9%). The most commonly initiated opioid was paracetamol/codeine (61.3%), followed by oxycodone (16.3%).Future plansThe POPPY II cohort will be updated periodically, both extending the follow-up duration of the existing cohort, and including new individuals initiating opioids. The POPPY II cohort will allow a range of aspects of opioid utilisation to be studied, including long-term trajectories of opioid use, development of a data-informed method to assess time-varying opioid exposure, and a range of outcomes including mortality, transition to opioid dependence, suicide and falls. The duration of the study period will allow examination of population-level impacts of changes to opioid monitoring and access, while the size of the cohort will also allow examination of important subpopulations such as people with cancer, musculoskeletal conditions or opioid use disorder.
