Published: January 2022

AbstractShank proteins are among the most abundant and well-studied postsynaptic scaffold proteins. Their PDZ domain has unique characteristics as one of its loop regions flanking the ligand-binding site is uniquely long and has also been implicated in the formation of PDZ dimers. Here we report the initial characterization of the Shank1 PDZ domain by solution NMR spectroscopy. The assigned chemical shifts are largely consistent with the common features of PDZ domains in general and the available Shank PDZ crystal structures in particular. Our analysis suggests that under the conditions investigated, the domain is monomeric and the unique loop harbors a short helical segment, observed in only one of the known X-ray structures so far. Our work stresses the importance of solution-state investigations to fully decipher the functional relevance of the structural and dynamical features unique to Shank PDZ domains.

Authors: Quintana-Orts Cirenia , Rey Lourdes , Sánchez-Álvarez Nicolás , Neto Félix , Mullet Etienne 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe adaptation of the Forgivingness Questionnaire (FQ) has been performed for different languages and with diverse samples. So far, no psychometric properties were evaluated for a Spanish version of the FQ. The main aim of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of the FQ in two Spanish samples: adolescents and emerging adults. A total of 1,076 participants: 419 adolescents (56% females; Mage = 13.78 years) and 657 emerging adults (64% females; Mage = 21.06 years) completed the Spanish version of FQ and other measures. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the three-factor model of the FQ, and high reliability for both samples. Convergent validity was supported and multi-group analyses showed the invariance of the factor structure of FQ across gender. These results provide evidence of good psychometric properties of the FQ as a tool to measure dispositional forgiveness among Spanish adolescents and emerging adults.
The parental career-related behaviors questionnaire (PCB): Psychometric properties in adolescents and young adults in the Italian context
Authors: Parola Anna , Fusco Luca , Marcionetti Jenny 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Over the last few years, the role of parental career-related behaviors in career development has been identified in several studies. Specifically, these behaviors involve difficulties in the adolescents' career decision-making. In the literature, there is a validated scale for measuring parental career-related behaviors in the Italian language, but the validation refers to the Swiss context. Thus, the present study aimed to test the psychometric proprieties of the parental career-related behaviors questionnaire (PCB) in a sample of 323 adolescents and, after an item-adaption, in a sample of 374 university students in Italy. Confirmatory factor analyses were performed to support the three-dimensional structure of the original PCB. Moreover, associations between PCB and career decision-making difficulties were investigated. The results showed that the PCB is a useful instrument for measuring parental career-related behaviors also in the Italian context. Finally, the PCB dimensions were meaningfully related to career decision-making difficulties.
The bibenzyl derivatives of Dendrobium officinale prevent UV-B irradiation induced photoaging via SIRT3

Published: January 2022

AbstractDendrobium officinale is a valuable medicinal herb that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. The chemical constituents of D. officinale have attracted much attention and a large number of compounds have been reported including many bibenzyl derivatives. 13 bibenzyl derivatives from D. officinale were sent for molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay and after detection of Mn-SOD and SIRT3 activities in or not in HaCaT cells, it was concluded that bibenzyl derivatives did not directly activate Mn-SOD but promoted SIRT3 proteins. In addition, HaCaT cells were irradiated with UV-B to induce an oxidative stress model in vitro to further verify the effect of bibenzyl derivatives. The results show that bibenzyl derivatives could directly bind to SIRT3, enhance the deacetylation and then activate Mn-SOD, so as to protect UV-B induced skin photoaging.

Threats to Internal Validity in Multiple-Baseline Design Variations
Authors: Slocum Timothy A. , Pinkelman Sarah E. , Joslyn P. Raymond , Nichols Beverly 
Published: January 2022

AbstractMultiple baseline designs—both concurrent and nonconcurrent—are the predominant experimental design in modern applied behavior analytic research and are increasingly employed in other disciplines. In the past, there was significant controversy regarding the relative rigor of concurrent and nonconcurrent multiple baseline designs. The consensus in recent textbooks and methodological papers is that nonconcurrent designs are less rigorous than concurrent designs because of their presumed limited ability to address the threat of coincidental events (i.e., history). This skepticism of nonconcurrent designs stems from an emphasis on the importance of across-tier comparisons and relatively low importance placed on replicated within-tier comparisons for addressing threats to internal validity and establishing experimental control. In this article, we argue that the primary reliance on across-tier comparisons and the resulting deprecation of nonconcurrent designs are not well-justified. In this article, we first define multiple baseline designs, describe common threats to internal validity, and delineate the two bases for controlling these threats. Second, we briefly summarize historical methodological writing and current textbook treatment of these designs. Third, we explore how concurrent and nonconcurrent multiple baselines address each of the main threats to internal validity. Finally, we make recommendations for more rigorous use, reporting, and evaluation of multiple baseline designs.

Non-local transport nature revealed by the research in transient phenomena of toroidal plasma
Authors: Ida Katsumi 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe non-local transport nature revealed by the research in transient phenomena of toroidal plasma is reviewed. The following non-local phenomena are described: core temperature rise in the cold pulse, hysteresis gradient–flux relation in the modulation ECH experiment, and see-saw phenomena at the internal transport barrier (ITB) formation. There are two mechanisms for the non-local transport which cause non-local phenomena. One is the radial propagation of gradient and turbulence. The other is a mediator of radial coupling of turbulence such as macro/mesoscale turbulence, MHD instability, and zonal flow. Non-local transport has a substantial impact on structure formations in a steady state. The turbulence spreading into the ITB region, magnetic island, and SOL are discussed.
Individuelle Nutzung unterrichtlicher Angebote – Zur Bedeutung von Lernvoraussetzungen und Unterrichtsbeteiligung
Authors: Jansen Nina C. , Decristan Jasmin , Fauth Benjamin 
Published: January 2022

ZusammenfassungIn Angebots-Nutzungs-Modellen wird die individuelle Nutzung unterrichtlicher Angebote als wichtige Voraussetzung schulischen Lernens angesehen. Nutzung wird dabei als kognitiver, wechselseitig durch motivationale und emotionale Aspekte beeinflusster Prozess innerhalb der Lernenden verstanden. Welche Bedeutung individuelle Merkmale und die Beteiligung am Unterricht für die Nutzung von Unterricht haben, ist bislang noch nicht hinreichend untersucht. Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich diesem Desiderat anhand von Daten aus 40 Mathematikklassen (N = 932 Schüler*innen) in der Sekundarstufe. Die Beteiligung am Unterricht wurde über Kodierungen von Unterrichtsvideos erfasst (N = 855 verbale Beteiligungen; N = 3850 weitere Meldungen), individuelle Lernvoraussetzungen und die selbsteingeschätzte Intensität der Nutzung unterrichtlicher Angebote über Fragebögen und einen Vorwissenstest der teilnehmenden Schüler*innen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Zusammenhänge sowohl zwischen individuellen kognitiven und motivationalen Merkmalen und der selbstberichteten Nutzung des Unterrichtsangebots als auch zwischen Unterrichtsbeteiligung und Nutzung. Die schüler*innengesteuerte Beteiligung leistete einen eigenständigen Beitrag zur Vorhersage von Nutzung, auch über individuelle Merkmale hinaus. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Relevanz von aktiver Unterrichtsbeteiligung für die Angebotsnutzung und liefern weitere Erkenntnisse im Kontext von Angebots-Nutzungs-Modellen schulischen Lernens.
Tense-Switching in Classical Greek
Authors: Nijk Arjan A. 
Published: January 2022

Tense is at its most interesting when it behaves badly. In this book Arjan Nijk investigates the variation between the past and present tenses to refer to past events in Classical Greek and beyond. Adopting a cognitive approach to the issue, he argues that the use of the present for preterite depends on the activation of implicit conceptual scenarios in which the gap between the past and the present is bridged. The book is distinguished from previous accounts by its precision in describing these conceptual scenarios, the combination of linguistic theorising with philological and statistical methods, the size of the corpus under investigation and the explicitly cross-linguistic scope. It provides a complete overview of the phenomenon of tense switching in Classical Greek, as well as new theoretical perspectives on deixis and viewpoint, and is important for classicists, narratologists and linguists of every stamp. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
The Rise and Fall of Anti-Corruption in North Korea
Authors: Carothers Christopher 
Published: January 2022

AbstractNorth Korea is widely seen as having among the most corrupt governments in the world. However, the Kim family regime has not always been so accepting of government wrongdoing. Drawing on archival evidence, this study shows that Kim Il-sung saw corruption as a threat to economic development and launched campaigns to curb it throughout the 1950s. I find that these campaigns were at least somewhat successful, and they contributed to post-Korean War reconstruction and rapid development afterwards. So when and why did the regime shift from combating corruption to embracing it? I argue that changes in the country's economic system following the crisis of the 1990s, especially de facto marketization, made corruption more beneficial to the regime both as a source of revenue and as an escape valve for public discontent. This study's findings contribute to our understanding of the politics of corruption control in authoritarian regimes.
Between Wisdom and Apocalypse: Reading Tosefta Soṭah Chapters 10–15
Authors: Rosen-Zvi Ishay 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Chapters 10–15 in Tosefta Soṭah contain the longest, most elaborated aggadic unit in the Tosefta. It comprises various units that seem to be connected only loosely: the biblical righteous figures who brought abundance to the world (chs. 10–12); various revelations and appearances of the holy spirit and divine echo (ch. 13); and the effects of the destruction and the calamities of the present (chs. 14–15). In this article I argue that it forms in fact a coherent unit. It combines apocalyptic, priestly, and wisdom themes in a manner that is unprecedented in rabbinic literature, but is similar to several Second Temple texts. It tells a tale of perpetual decline from the biblical golden age to the rabbis’ own age of destruction, together with its eschatological remedy. It combines priestly and apocalyptic themes to form an alternative to the standard rabbinic meta-narrative of the transfer from prophecy to Torah. The first section of the article discusses chapters 10–13 and reconstructs their meticulous similarity with, and influence by, Ben Sira; the second section compares the complete composite unit (chs. 10–15) to the parallel Mishnah; and the third section examines the apocalyptic themes found in our text. I end with the need to reevaluate the relationship between rabbinic literature and apocalypticism.

Authors: Adriaansens C , Bekkers S , Aarts M C J 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundCholesteatoma is a benign but destructive epithelial lesion in the middle ear and/or mastoid. It is hard to translate data from previous research to daily clinical practice. In this study, factors influencing recurrence rates in daily clinical practice were identified.MethodThe study included 67 patients who were treated for a cholesteatoma with combined approach tympanoplasty. The average follow-up time was 35 months.ResultsThe recurrence rate was 23.3 per cent in adults and 45.5 per cent in children. Predictors of recurrence were younger age and a low tegmen. A cholesteatoma in a child and the simultaneous presence of a low tegmen led to recurrence in 82.8 per cent of the patients.ConclusionPatients – especially children – with a low tegmen have an increased risk of recurrence. It is recommended that ENT surgeons be aware of recurrence in children, particularly in the case of a low tegmen.

Socio-economic and technological aspects of mental health of older persons: the role of strong and weak ties in Ghana
Authors: Amoah Padmore Adusei , Osei-Tutu Annabella , Adjei Stephen Baffour 
Published: January 2022

AbstractResearch indicates that social capital can influence the extent to which socio-economic status (SES) and information and communications technology (ICT) affect mental health. This study uses empirical data to examine the veracity of this claim by examining the effect of SES and ICT use on the mental health of older persons in Ghana, as well as the moderating role of bonding (i.e. strong ties) and bridging (i.e. weak ties) social capital in these associations. Data were drawn from 409 older persons from four regions in Ghana as part of a broader cross-sectional survey. Ordinal logistic regression analyses showed that SES and ICT use had positive associations with mental health after adjusting for other socio-demographic factors. Bridging social capital modified the association between SES and mental health positively. Bonding social capital also moderated the relations between ICT use on mental health positively. We argue that the prevalent nature of resources embedded in strong ties and the diversity of support that emerge from weak ties account for the difference in their influence observed in this study. Thus, while advances in socio-economic and technological conditions can enhance older persons’ mental health, equal attention must be paid to the characteristics of their strong and weak ties as they possess the resources to make socio-technological policies even more meaningful.
Strong Warming Rates in the Surface and Bottom Layers of a Boreal Lake: Results From Approximately Six Decades of Measurements (1964–2020)

Published: January 2022

AbstractHigh‐latitude lakes are warming faster than the global average with deep implications for life on Earth. Using an approximately six‐decade long in situ data set, we explored the changes in lake surface‐water temperature (LST), lake deep‐water temperature (LDT), lake depth‐weighted mean water temperature (LDMT), and ice‐free days in Lake Kallavesi, a boreal lake in central Finland, when the lake was stratified (June–August). Our results suggest that the LST is warming faster than the local air temperature (AT). As for the LST, fast warming was also observed in the LDT and LDMT, but at rates slower than those in the LST. The number of ice‐free days also shows an upward trend, with a rate of about 7 days per decade during the study period. The corresponding local AT is the main driver of the LST, followed by the ice‐free days and annual mean AT. Air temperature and ice‐free days also mainly contribute to the changes in the LDMT. The LDT is affected more by the North Atlantic Oscillation signals in this freshwater lake. The AT in the prior months does not affect the LDT in Lake Kallavesi although the AT during the prior season, that is, spring, is the main driver of summer LDT. This highlights the local AT impact on the LDT at time scales longer than a month. The warming rates in the lake water are at a minimum in June because the lake is not yet strongly stratified in this month when compared to July and August. These findings improve our knowledge of long‐term changes in the lake water temperature in a high‐latitude lake, a region with severe environmental consequences due to fast changes in the AT and lake ice phenology.
SORCE and TSIS‐1 SIM Comparison: Absolute Irradiance Scale Reconciliation
Authors: Harder Jerald , Béland Stéphane , Penton Steven V. , Richard Erik , Weatherhead Elizabeth , Araujo‐Pradere Eduardo 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) and Total and Spectral Irradiance Sensor (TSIS‐1) conducted an intercomparison for the two Spectral Irradiance Monitors (SIM) spanning 704 days from 23 March 2018 to 25 February 2020 and permitted 554 time‐matched pairs of observations. This comparison was conducted during the extremely quiescent Solar Cycle 24 minimum, so all observed differences and drifts between the two sensors are instrumental in nature. The TSIS‐1 SIM benefitted from advanced calibration capabilities based on SI standards that were not available during the preflight calibration time period of SORCE. For this reason, a revision of the SORCE SIM absolute scale is appropriate. As expected, wavelength dependent differences in absolute agreement are a function of detector sensitivity and local changes in spectral slope. At the time of the comparison SORCE SIM has been on‐orbit for 17 years while TSIS‐1 observations commenced immediately after a 100‐day outgassing and commissioning period. Peak‐to‐peak absolute scale differences are about 12% with a mean fractional difference of 0.7% ± 2.9%. The greatest scale differences occur at the change‐over between the UV and visible photodiodes in the 310 nm region, and a systematic disagreement is present in the 850–1,600 nm range. A multiplicative scale correction factor has been developed to reconcile the TSIS‐1 and SORCE difference with a wavelength dependent error on the mean typically less than 0.01% derived from every matched pair of observations.
Duvalo “Volcano” (North Macedonia): A Purely Tectonic‐Related CO2 Degassing System

AbstractDuvalo “volcano” is a site of anomalous geogenic degassing close to Ohrid (North Macedonia) not related to volcanic activity, despite its name. CO2 flux measurements made with the accumulation chamber (321 sites over ∼50,000 m2) showed fluxes up to nearly 60,000 g m−2 d−1, sustaining a total output of ∼67 t d−1. Soil gas samples were taken at 50 cm depth from sites with high CO2 fluxes and analyzed for their chemical and isotope composition. The gas is mainly composed by CO2 (>90%) with significant concentrations of H2S (up to 0.55%) and CH4 (up to 0.32%). The isotope compositions of He (R/RA 0.10) and of CO2 (δ13C ∼ 0‰) exclude significant mantle contribution, while δ13C‐CH4 (∼−35‰) and δ2H‐CH4 (∼−170‰) suggest a thermogenic origin for CH4. The area is characterized by intense seismic activity and Duvalo corresponds to an active tectonic structure bordering the Ohrid graben. The production of H2S within the stratigraphic sequence may be explained by thermochemical reduction of sulfate. The uprising H2S is partially oxidized to sulfuric acid that, reacting with carbonate rocks, releases CO2. The tectonic structure of the area favors fluid circulation, sustaining H2S production and oxidation, CO2 production and allowing the escape of the gases to the atmosphere. In the end, Duvalo represents a tectonic‐related CO2 degassing area whose gases originate mostly, if not exclusively, in the shallowest part of the crust (<10 km). This finding highlights that even systems with trivial mantle contribution may sustain intense CO2 degassing (>1,000 t km−2 d−1).
