Abstract
Sunflower plants need nitrogen consistently and in higher amount for optimum growth and development. However, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of sunflower crop is low due to various nitrogen (N) losses. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the advanced strategies to minimize N losses and also improve sunflower productivity under arid climatic conditions. A field trial was conducted with four slow release nitrogenous fertilizers [SRNF (bacterial, neem, and sulfur-coated urea and N loaded biochar)] and three N levels (100% = 148 kg N ha−1, 80% = 118 kg N ha−1, and 60% = 89 kg N ha−1) of recommended application (100%) for sunflower crop under arid climatic conditions. Results showed that neem-coated urea at 148 kg N ha−1 significantly enhanced crop growth rate (CGR) (19.16 g m−2 d−1) at 60–75 days after sowing (DAS); leaf area index (2.12, 3.62, 5.97, and 3.00) at 45, 60, 75, and 90 DAS; and total dry matter (14.27, 26.29, 122.67, 410, and 604.33 g m−2) at 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 DAS. Furthermore, higher values of net leaf photosynthetic rate (25.2 µmol m−2 s−1), transpiration rate (3.66 mmol s−1), and leaf stomatal conductance (0.39 mol m−2 s−1) were recorded for the same treatment. Similarly, neem-coated urea produced maximum achene yield (2322 kg ha−1), biological yield (9000 kg ha−1), and harvest index (25.8%) of the sunflower crop. Among various N fertilizers, neem-coated urea showed maximum NUE (20.20 kg achene yield kg−1 N applied) in comparison to other slow release N fertilizers. Similarly, nitrogen increment N60 showed maximum NUE (22.40 kg grain yield kg−1 N applied) in comparison to N80 and N100. In conclusion, neem-coated urea with 100% and 80% of recommended N would be recommended for farmers to get better sunflower productivity with sustainable production and to reduce the environmental nitrogen losses.

AbstractImmune globulin (IG) is administered as measles postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) in people with primary immunodeficiency disorders or individuals not eligible for live virus vaccination. However, measles virus (MeV) neutralizing antibody (nAb) levels in plasma for fractionation and IG products fractionated thereof have declined. Here, the feasibility of producing a measles hyperimmune globulin (HIG) for PEP of high-risk individuals was investigated. Plasma samples (n = 384) were selected based on donor self-identification for previous MeV infection or vaccination, to determine the MeV-nAb content and compare it to the potency of plasma pools (n = 13) from the current IG manufacture. Convalescent donors have higher mean MeV-nAb concentrations (3.9 IU/mL) than vaccinated donors (2.5 IU/mL), as previously reported. However, their selection would only result in a 1.4-fold elevated nAb concentration compared to current plasma pools, which is not sufficient for HIG production. Interestingly, thirty-two donors (8%) had a MeV-nAb concentration of ≥ 8 IU/mL. The selective use of these plasma donations would result in sixfold higher plasma pool concentrations, which should permit the manufacture of the measles HIG. Further, the longitudinal analysis of a subset of individuals who repeatedly donated plasma at a high frequency revealed only a minor decline (~ 30%) of MeV-nAb levels. Repeat donations of such high-potency donors would thus facilitate the production of the measles HIG. Due to its markedly raised MeV-nAb concentration compared to standard IG, such preparation could significantly shorten infusion time and thus improve the treatment experience for both physicians and patients, especially infants.

Published: March 2022

AbstractSuccessfully integrating elite sports with education requires motivation to commit oneself to both domains. This study examines the development of and gender differences in adolescent athletes’ task values for school and sports across the upper secondary school years. A total of 391 adolescents (aged 15–16 at the beginning of the study) were followed four times during sports upper secondary school. The participating student athletes were recruited from six sports upper secondary schools in Finland, which offer equal competitive sport opportunities for both genders. The results showed that school- and sports- task values are strongly related to each other. Males valued school less than females at the beginning of upper secondary school, and this gender difference remained, and also strengthened across years. No gender differences in sports-related task values were found. The findings indicate that females may be more committed to integrating elite sports and education than males due to their higher valuing of school.
In Between New Public Management and Network Governance in Austria, Finland and Scotland: Potential Conflicts in Autonomy Understandings of Governments and Universities
Authors: Stransky-Can Kajetan 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe political science doctoral thesis project is focussing on comparing university policies with the background of different welfare state types: Austria as a conservative-corporatist, Finland as a social democratic and Scotland as a liberal welfare state. As universities are pre-constitutional entities, it seems to be legitimate to search for fit from welfare state policy-making with the practices of university steering. Here, I will present paradigm evidence of top-down-oriented New Public Management (NPM) and bottom-up-formed Network Governance (NG) at a macro-level, i.e. governance by the state. The paradigms connect with the theme of institutional autonomy, which differentiates into an academic, a financial, an organisational and a staffing aspect. As a result, I propose the following hypothesis for the cases of Austria, Finland and Scotland: NPM is present, but not dominant in higher education (HE) policies. More likely, NPM and NG appear simultaneously within the university policies of Austria, Finland and Scotland. How do these paradigms transfer within the institutions? In this article, a concept for this transfer of action in horizontal autonomy to actors in vertical autonomy through communication and through management committees’ interplay elaborates and, additionally, hypotheses formulate. The extent of the space for alternative paradigms to join the paradigm transfer game, for example, for Epistemic Governance (EG), might be larger, the higher the regulative density of university policies is. The borders of every paradigm in university policy, however, constitute with (a) strong welfare state traditions for governance and (b) strong university traditions for steering. Conservative-corporatist welfare state tradition as in Austria shows an inclination for university policy governance to be control-oriented, whereas social democratic welfare state tradition as in Finland relies on trust in university policy formulation (and implementation). It has to remain open how the liberal welfare state of Scotland would classify.
Hydrogeochemistry of fluoride-enriched groundwater in Khaled-Abad basin, semi-arid region of Central Iran

Published: March 2022

AbstractDue to the decrease in rainfall in Iran and the lack of water consumption, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the country, groundwater is of special importance as the only source of water in these areas. Groundwater samples were sampled from 28 wells stations and observe turned, to determination the fluoride value in groundwater of the Khaled-Abad basin. The variation in the quantity of fluoride in groundwater samples is adjustment from 0.3 to 8.6 mg/l and an average value is 2.8 mg/l. Generally, 75% of the samples contained fluoride concentrations more than the drinking water standard. The outcomes of this study infer that basement rocks embody epidote, biotite and apatite and the principal supply of fluoride inside the region's groundwater sources is weathering of those minerals.
The Impacts of Sports Schools on Holistic Athlete Development: A Mixed Methods Systematic Review

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Background
To understand the multiple and wide-ranging impacts of intensified youth sport, the need for a holistic approach to athlete development has recently been advocated. Sports schools are an increasingly popular operationalisation of intensified youth sport, aiming to offer an optimal environment for holistic development by combining sport and education. Yet, no study has systematically explored the impacts associated with sports schools.

Objectives
The aims of this mixed method systematic review were to (1) determine the characteristics and features of sports schools; (2) identify the methods used to evaluate sports school impacts, and (3) evaluate the positive and negative holistic athlete development impacts associated with sports school programme involvement.

Methods
Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, eight electronic databases were searched until the final return in February 2021. Forty-six articles satisfied the inclusion criteria, were analysed thematically, and synthesised using a narrative approach. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.

Results
Findings indicated (1) sports school student-athletes receive considerable support in terms of academic and athletic services, more intensified training and competition schedules with high-level training partners, but regularly miss school; (2) multiple methods have been used to evaluate student-athlete impacts, making comparison across studies and developing consensus on the impacts of sports schools difficult; and (3) there are a multitude of immediate, short- and long-term positive and negative impacts associated with the academic/vocational, athletic/physical, psychosocial and psychological development of sports school student-athletes.

Conclusions
This study is the first to systematically review the research literature to understand the impacts associated with sports schools in terms of holistic athlete development. Practitioners should be aware that they can promote (positive) and negate (negative) health impacts through the design of an appropriate learning environment that simultaneously balances multiple training, academic, psychosocial and psychological factors that can be challenging for youth athletes. We recommend that practitioners aim to design and implement monitoring and evaluation tools that assess the holistic development of student-athletes within their sports schools to ensure they are promoting all-round and healthy youth athlete development.
Self-Assembly MXene-rGO/CoNi Film with Massive Continuous Heterointerfaces and Enhanced Magnetic Coupling for Superior Microwave Absorber

Published: March 2022

AbstractMXene, as a rising star of two-dimensional (2D) materials, has been widely applied in fields of microwave absorption and electromagnetic shielding to cope with the arrival of the 5G era. However, challenges arise due to the excessively high permittivity and the difficulty of surface modification of few-layered MXenes severely, which infect the microwave absorption performance. Herein, for the first time, a carefully designed and optimized electrostatic self-assembly strategy to fabricate magnetized MXene-rGO/CoNi film was reported. Inside the synthesized composite film, rGO nanosheets decorated with highly dispersed CoNi nanoparticles are interclacted into MXene layers, which effectively suppresses the originally self-restacked of MXene nanosheets, resulting in a reduction of high permittivity. In addition, owing to the strong magnetic coupling between the magnetic FeCo alloy nanoparticles on the rGO substrate, the entire MXene-rGO/CoNi film exhibits a strong magnetic loss capability. Moreover, the local dielectric polarized fields exist at the continuous hetero-interfaces between 2D MXene and rGO further improve the capacity of microwave loss. Hence, the synthesized composite film exhibits excellent microwave absorption property with a maximum reflection loss value of − 54.1 dB at 13.28 GHz. The electromagnetic synergy strategy is expected to guide future exploration of high-efficiency MXene-based microwave absorption materials.
Sinn und Nutzen des Präeklampsiescreenings im 1. Trimenon
Authors: Stern Christina , Pertl Barbara 
Published: March 2022

ZusammenfassungDie Präeklampsie (PE) ist eine Systemerkrankung der Schwangerschaft und Teil des Spektrums der plazentaassoziierten Schwangerschaftserkrankungen. Sie ist durch einen neu aufgetretenen Bluthochdruck und eine weitere Organmanifestation, wie z. B. Proteinurie oder andere, bzw. pathologisch erhöhte PE-spezifische Markersysteme definiert. Entsprechend dem Manifestationszeitpunkt werden frühe und späte Formen unterschieden, welchen auch eine unterschiedliche Pathogenese zugrunde liegt. Insbesondere die frühen Formen können mit schweren Verläufen und Frühgeburtlichkeit einhergehen und sind, über die unmittelbaren peripartalen Komplikationen hinaus, auch mit einer erheblichen Langzeitmorbidität für Mutter und Kind assoziiert. Der PE-Screening-Test, der im ersten Trimenon durchgeführt wird, berechnet die Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Auftreten einer PE und wird aus dem A‑priori-Risiko aus mütterlichen Anamnesedaten sowie aus biophysikalischen (mittlerer arterieller Druck und Farbdoppler der Arteriae uterinae) und biochemischen Parametern („pregnancy-associated plasma protein A“, PAPP‑A, und „placental growth factor“, PLGF) errechnet. Diese Screeningmethode wurde für verschiedene Populationen validiert und von der International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) als effektivstes Instrument zur Identifikation von Risikopatientinnen anerkannt. Niedrig dosiertes Aspirin, d. h. 75–150 mg einmal täglich zur abendlichen Einnahme spätestens ab der 16. SSW, ist derzeit als einzig effektive Maßnahme zur Prävention der PE etabliert und bewirkt eine signifikante Risikoreduktion. Das PE-Screening ermöglicht nicht nur, Risikopatientinnen sehr früh in der Schwangerschaft (vor dem Auftreten klinischer Zeichen) zu identifizieren, sondern auch, durch die Gabe niedrig dosierten Aspirins eine nachweislich risikosenkende, prophylaktische Maßnahme einzuleiten.
A Linear Transformation for the Reconstruction of the Responses of Systems in Similitude

Published: March 2022

AbstractRecent years have seen an increasing interest towards similitude methods. In fact, the possibility of testing a scaled model, instead of a full-scale prototype, leads to many advantages: financial and time savings, easier experimental setups, etc. However, similitudes have drawbacks, too, mainly due to non-scalable effects and partial similitude, which prevent from an accurate reconstruction of the prototype response. For these reasons, an alternative method which can bypass these limitations is needed. A new method, called VOODOO (Versatile Offset Operator for the Discrete Observation of Objects), is herein proposed: it is based on the definition of a transformation matrix which links the outputs of a given linear systems to those belonging to another system, which may be a scaled model. The responses are acquired on a discrete number of points for both the systems. This work aims at investigating the method’s strengths and limitations of the method. The results show that, although VOODOO exhibits some lack of accuracy in off-design conditions due to the loss of spatial correlation, it is able to overcome some major restrictions that affect all similitude methods.
Subharmonic Bifurcation for a Non-smooth Double Pendulum with Unilateral Impact
Authors: Guo Xiu-ying , Zhang Gang , Tian Rui-lan 
Published: March 2022

AbstractA unilateral impact double pendulum model with hinge links is constructed to detect subharmonic bifurcation for the high dimensional non-smooth system. The non-smooth and nonlinear coupled factors lead a barrier for high dimensional conventional nonlinear techniques. By introducing reversible transformation and energy time scale transformation, the system is expressed as a smooth decoupling form of energy coordinates. Thus, the concept of subharmonic Melnikov function is extended to high-dimensional nonsmooth systems, and the influence of impact recovery coefficient on the existence of subharmonic periodic orbits of double pendulum is revealed. The efficiency of the theoretical results is verified by phase portraits, time process portraits and Poincaré section.
Linking workplace social support to turnover intention through job embeddedness and work meaningfulness
Authors: Dechawatanapaisal Decha 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis research examines the impacts of workplace social support, namely organizational support, supervisory support, and co-worker support on job embeddedness, and whether these effects are moderated by work meaningfulness. Using a conditional process model, the current study also investigates how the relationship between workplace social support and turnover intention, mediated by job embeddedness, is affected by the moderator. Data were collected from 1,137 shared service employees in Thailand. Empirical results indicate that job embeddedness mediates the links between perceived organizational support as well as perceived co-worker support and intention to leave, and that work meaningfulness reduces employees' turnover intention by reinforcing the impacts of perceived supervisory support and perceived co-worker support on job embeddedness. The findings contribute to job embeddedness literature by describing moderated mediation mechanisms, through which social supportive constituents affect turnover intention, and guide practitioners by applying an integrated model of organizational practices in managing human resources.
Justice for the blackest malefactors? Determinate prison sentences, early release, and the ECHR
Authors: Edwards Richard A 
Published: March 2022

AbstractIn the light of the High Court's decision in R (Khan) v Secretary of State for Justice [2020] 1 WLR 3932 this paper contends that a revised approach to the interpretation of Articles 5 and 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights is needed. The paper argues that the Article 5 ECHR right to liberty and security plays a developing, though overlooked, role in the context of regulating determinate prison sentences. English law's conclusion that Article 5 of the ECHR has little to offer in this context is wrong and needs to be reconsidered. Equally, a more generous interpretation of Article 7 of the ECHR is now required: an approach which reflects the reality of determinate sentences.
Entertainment Spending and Capturing Value from Innovation in Chinese Firms
Authors: Wan Guoguang , Xie Luqun , Li Jiatao , Jiang Dequan 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACTThis study examines how Chinese firms capture value from their innovations. We propose that relationship-building through business entertainment may be helpful. In particular, wining and dining key stakeholders, including clients, suppliers, distributors, and government officials, can help firms gain access to complementary resources necessary for commercializing their innovations, facilitating capturing value from innovations. However, business entertainment is less effective in regions with relatively developed market-supporting institutions, including factor markets and legal institutions. The analysis results of archival data and data from a World Bank survey of Chinese firms support all the above arguments.
Akathisia and atypical antipsychotics: relation to suicidality, agitation and depression in a clinical trial

Published: March 2022

AbstractObjective:Akathisia is among the most unpleasant side effects related to antipsychotic drug (AP) use, and possible associations between akathisia and agitation, depression and suicidal behaviour, respectively, have been described in previous literature. New generation antipsychotics are however regarded less prone to induce this particular adverse effect compared to older drugs, but evidence is incomplete and in need of confirmation from clinically relevant samples and settings. We, therefore, aim to investigate akathisia at hospital discharge for patients consecutively admitted with acute-phase psychosis and treated with atypical antipsychotics according to guideline-concordant clinical practice.Methods:This exploratory study is part of a naturalistic randomised controlled study in patients admitted with acute phase psychosis (N = 109). We report cross-sectional data at discharge/first follow-up after acute psychiatric hospital admission for patients with schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders.Results:There were statistically significant positive associations between akathisia and the following; suicidality in men (Beta 0.306, p = 0.048), but not in women; agitation in those previously unexposed to antipsychotics (Beta 0.288, p = 0.047) and depression in those exposed to antipsychotics before hospital admittance (Beta 0.375, p = 0.031).Conclusion:Main findings were that akathisia is still a prevalent side effect in a clinically relevant sample of patients treated with atypical antipsychotics. Our results suggest that akathisia is significantly associated with depression, suicidality and agitation in different subgroups of patients receiving APs. Akathisia can be detrimental and the relations between akathisia and depression, suicidality and agitation should be investigated further in prospective, hypothesis-testing studies with larger samples.
