Queering the Book Club: Empathy Development Through Young Adult Literature in Australian Discussion Groups
Authors: Herb Annika , Betts David 
Published: November 2022

AbstractYoung Adult (YA) literature that focuses on the experiences of marginalized individuals and communities empowers young readers, challenges social stigma and discrimination, and supports identity formation. This article explores the impact of queer YA literature on young queer and questioning readers, with a specific focus on how it can develop empathy within its audience. We analyzed reader responses to queer representation through monthly focus groups with twenty-three queer-identifying participants. Over eight months the participants discussed pre-selected queer YA texts. We found that queer YA literature has the capacity to not only empower its readers, but to develop their capacity for empathy, challenge perceived social norms, and demonstrate the potential of literature as a tool for activism and advocacy. Showing younger readers diverse experiences within queer YA literature can support readers to see themselves reflected on the page, and challenge reductive and restrictive views about queer identities.

AbstractThe use of pesticides to protect crops often affects non-target organisms vital to ecosystem functioning. A functional soil mesofauna is important for decomposition and nutrient cycling processes in agricultural soils, which generally have low biodiversity. To assess pesticide effects on natural soil communities we enclosed intact soil cores in situ in an agricultural field in 5 cm wide mesocosms. We used two types of mesh lids on the mesocosms, allowing or preventing migration of mesofauna. The mesocosms were exposed to the insecticide imidacloprid (0, 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg dry soil) and left in the field for 20 days. Overall, regardless of lid type, mesocosm enclosure did not affect springtail or mite abundances during the experiment when compared with undisturbed soil. Imidacloprid exposure reduced the abundance of both surface- and soil-living springtails in a concentration-dependent manner, by 65–90% at the two highest concentrations, and 21–23% at 0.1 mg/kg, a concentration found in some agricultural soils after pesticide application. Surface-living springtails were more affected by imidacloprid exposure than soil-living ones. In contrast, neither predatory nor saprotrophic mites showed imidacloprid-dependent changes in abundance, concurring with previous findings indicating that mites are generally less sensitive to neonicotinoids than other soil organisms. The possibility to migrate did not affect the springtail or mite abundance responses to imidacloprid. We show that under realistic exposure concentrations in the field, soil arthropod community composition and abundance can be substantially altered in an organism-dependent manner, thus affecting the soil community diversity.
Name game: the naming history of the chemical elements—part 1—from antiquity till the end of 18th century
Authors: Miśkowiec Paweł 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe aim of the series of the three articles entitled “Name game…” is to present the historical information about nomenclature history of every known chemical element. The process of naming each chemical element is analyzed, with particular emphasis on the first publication with a given name. It turned out that in many cases this information is not obvious and unambiguous, and the published data are even contradictory. In a few cases, the names of the elements were changed even several times. Moreover, even when the author of a given element name is known, it is sometimes not entirely clear in which publication he/she first used it. Therefore, the series of three articles are an attempt to sort out the issue of first publishing of the names of all 118 chemical elements known so far, based on original source texts, available thanks to the digitization of a number of collections of scientific literature. The articles are divided according to the time of discoveries: (1) research till the end of the 18th century, (2) discoveries in the 19th century, (3) discoveries and syntheses of elements in the 20th and 21st centuries. This particular article presents the history of naming of the first 37 elements: known from antiquity, discovered in nature and named in 17th and 18th century.

Published: November 2022

AbstractBy adopting a dyadic extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), this study examined whether perceived economic uncertainty affects fertility intentions. Three-hundred thirty one heterosexual couples living in Italy participated in a randomized between-group experimental study, in which we manipulated perceived economic uncertainty (low vs. high vs. control). The participants subsequently completed a questionnaire measuring their attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and fertility intentions. We employed Structural Equation Modelling in estimating the Actor–Partner Interdependence Model. The model showed a good fit to the data. Women’s attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were influenced by the high economic uncertain scenario, whereas among men these variables were affected only by the positive economic scenario. Attitudes and perceived behavioral control were significant predictors of fertility intentions for both sexes. Significant partner effects were observed as well. These findings suggest that fertility plans should be examined by adopting a dyadic perspective, as individuals’ intentions are affected not only by their own beliefs, but also by those of their partners.
Planar chromatographic super-hyphenations for rapid dereplication
Authors: Morlock Gertrud E. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Analytical chemistry offers important tools that provide insight and step-by-step understanding. However, natural samples containing many thousands of different compounds are subject to natural variance which makes it complex for artificial intelligence and human understanding. Instead of the prevailing comprehensive separation/detection approach, a prioritization approach is discussed for dereplication that focuses on the most necessary to discover. It is extremely helpful to combine on the same surface two disciplines, i.e. chemistry for separation of mixtures and biology for detection of biological effects, to filter out and prioritize the important compounds that then need to be identified. Complex mixtures are separated in parallel with imaging high-performance thin-layer chromatography, detected non-targeted with planar multiplex bioassays to prioritize compounds and elute the important ones to orthogonal column chromatography−diode array detection−high-resolution mass spectrometry for further characterization. Super-hyphenations reduce thousands of compounds to a manageable number of important active compounds. Its potential lies not only in the prioritization of compounds, but also detection of unknown compounds that were not previously the focus of analysts. An image is worth a thousand words and an effect image even more so. On-surface multiplex bioassays enable the differentiation of opposing signals/effects of compounds in a complex natural sample, which only makes understanding possible. On-surface metabolization enables the study of any changes in the effects through digestion or de-/toxification (S9 liver system). By these new tools applied on the same surface, the mechanisms of action of complex mixtures can be better understood. The latest open-source 2LabsToGo system combines the chemistry and biology laboratory in a miniaturized system developed for wider use of this innovative technique.
Limit theory and robust evaluation methods for the extremal properties of GARCH(p, q) processes
Authors: Laurini Fabrizio , Fearnhead Paul , Tawn Jonathan 
Published: November 2022

AbstractGeneralized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic (GARCH) processes are widely used for modelling financial returns, with their extremal properties being of interest for market risk management. For GARCH($$p,q$$p,q) processes with$$\max (p,q) = 1$$max(p,q)=1all extremal features have been fully characterised, but when$$\max (p,q)\ge 2$$max(p,q)≥2much remains to be found. Previous research has identified that both marginal and dependence extremal features of strictly stationary GARCH($$p,q$$p,q) processes are determined by a multivariate regular variation property and tail processes. Currently there are no reliable methods for evaluating these characterisations, or even assessing the stationarity, for the classes of GARCH($$p,q$$p,q) processes that are used in practice, i.e., with unbounded and asymmetric innovations. By developing a mixture of new limit theory and particle filtering algorithms for fixed point distributions we produce novel and robust evaluation methods for all extremal features for all GARCH($$p,q$$p,q) processes, including ARCH and IGARCH processes. We investigate our methods’ performance when evaluating the marginal tail index, the extremogram and the extremal index, the latter two being measures of temporal dependence.
Why studying plant cognition is valuable, even if plants aren’t cognitive
Authors: Colaço David 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPhilosophers and scientists propose the idea that plants are cognitive, which has been met with criticisms. These criticisms focus on the fact that plants do not possess the properties traditionally associated with cognition. By contrast, several proponents introduce novel ways to conceptualize cognition. How should we make sense of this debate? In this paper, I argue that the plant cognition debate is not about whether plants meet a set of well-delineated and agreed-upon criteria according to which they count as cognitive. Rather, many proponents are hypothesizing about cognition. They construe COGNITION not as an expression of what cognition is, but rather as a conjecture about what cognition might be. These conjectures orient research that can uncover novel similarities amongst the phenomena to which these concepts extend. In defending this view, I argue that investigating plant cognition is valuable, even if the results of these investigations lead us to reject the claim that plants are cognitive.

Abstract
Citrus fruit quality is defined as the combination of physical and chemical traits; some of which may change during the ripening phase, e.g., acidity and sugar content. A clear understanding of their genetic control would be very helpful for marker-assisted breeding programs especially with regard to the juvenile phase and some reproductive features that hamper the selection of improved hybrids. A genetic study was thus performed on the heredity of quality traits and QTL detection based on segregation in a progeny generated from a cross between clementine cv “Commun” (Citrus × reticulata cv clementine) and mandarin cv “Willow leaf” (C. reticulata Blanco). Parental and consensus genetic linkage maps were constructed using 645 SNP and SSR markers. These maps were represented by 10 linkage groups in clementine and 12 linkage groups in mandarin, representing 75% and 58% respectively of the previously published clementine reference map. A total of 16 traits, including fruit mass, equatorial diameter, juice percentage, total soluble solids, acidity, pH, glucose, fructose, sucrose, and citric and malic acid concentrations were evaluated at three maturation dates. High variations indicating transgressive segregation were found for all traits, with normal or close to normal distributions. QTL analysis performed using the multiple QTL model allowed the detection of 34 QTLs on the three maps. QTLs were distributed in different linkage groups and generally detected at only one date of the ripening phase. The percentage of total variation explained ranged from 12 to 37% per QTL. Major QTLs (R2 ≥ 30%) were detected for equatorial diameter, glucose, and fructose (expressed in percentage dry matter) on linkage groups 8 and 9. Co-localization of QTLs controlling correlated and uncorrelated traits were mainly found on linkage groups 2, 4, 8, and 9, particularly between fruit mass and acidity.
Automated elaborate resection planning for bone tumor surgery

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Purpose
Planning for bone tumor resection surgery is a technically demanding and time-consuming task, reliant on manual positioning of planar cuts in a virtual space. More elaborate cutting approaches may be possible through the use of surgical robots or patient-specific instruments; however, methods for preparing such a resection plan must be developed.

Methods
This work describes an automated approach for generating conformal bone tumor resection plans, where the resection geometry is defined by the convex hull of the tumor, and a focal point. The resection geometry is optimized using particle swarm, where the volume of healthy bone collaterally resected with the tumor is minimized. The approach was compared to manually prepared planar resection plans from an experienced surgeon for 20 tumor cases.

Results
It was found that algorithm-generated hull-type resections greatly reduced the volume of collaterally resected healthy bone. The hull-type resections resulted in statistically significant improvements compared to the manual approach (paired t test, p < 0.001).

Conclusions
The described approach has potential to improve patient outcomes by reducing the volume of healthy bone collaterally resected with the tumor and preserving nearby critical anatomy.
Early Childhood Professionals’ Perspectives on Dealing with Trauma of Children

Published: November 2022

AbstractChildhood trauma is a significant concern in Australia and internationally. Professionals working in the early childhood education sector (i.e., providing early childhood education and care to infants, toddlers, and children from birth to age eight) are positioned to provide valuable support for children affected by trauma. However, there is less research on early childhood professionals’ perspectives and experiences of supporting trauma-exposed children compared to other education professionals (e.g., primary and secondary school teachers). This study explored early childhood professionals’ perspectives and experiences in relation to supporting children exposed to trauma. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 early childhood professionals in Victoria, Australia, and data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings illustrate that while educators develop valuable skills and experience growth from supporting trauma-exposed children and their families, they also experience emotional distress and challenges. Educators noted that there are limited professional development opportunities to learn about childhood trauma, and limited access to qualified and knowledgeable staff who can help them when supporting these learners. Implications from this study emphasise the importance of designing and delivering trauma-based professional learning opportunities and policies for early childhood educators.
Honderd jaar TSG – Tijdschrift voor Gezondheidswetenschappen
Authors: Huurman Jan G. J. 
Published: November 2022

SamenvattingOp 1 januari 2023 is het honderd jaar geleden dat het eerste nummer van TSG verscheen. Het blad was primair het orgaan van de verenigingen van schoolartsen en artsen voor armenzorg. De gekozen titel Tijdschrift voor Sociale Geneeskunde was een bewijs dat de term ‘sociale geneeskunde’ in Nederland de huidige inhoud kreeg. Voor die tijd werden andere termen voor dit vakgebied gebruikt. TSG groeide uit tot het orgaan van het gehele praktijk- en wetenschapsgebied, zeker na de oprichting van de overkoepelende Algemeene Nederlandsche Vereeniging voor Sociale Geneeskunde (ANVSG) in 1930. Gedurende de bezettingsjaren 1940–1945 functioneerden ANVSG en TSG ogenschijnlijk onverstoord door, in tegenstelling tot de Nederlandse Maatschappij tot bevordering der Geneeskunst (NMG), die vooral de vereniging van en voor curatieve artsen was. Na 1945 volgden de bloeijaren van de sociale geneeskunde, met vestiging van meerdere leerstoelen en de erkenning van de afzonderlijke vakken als geneeskundig specialismen. TSG profiteerde van deze ontwikkeling. Aan deze ontwikkeling kwam begin jaren tachtig van de vorige eeuw een eind. De ANVSG slaagde er niet meer in de afzonderlijke takken te verenigen, mede omdat de dominante positie van artsen in het veld van de public health onder druk kwam te staan. De ‘g’ van ‘geneeskunde’ werd ‘gezondheidszorg, en TSG ging daarin mee. Alle inspanningen ten spijt kon de ANVSG zichzelf niet meer overeind houden, en daarom werd in 1985 tot opheffing besloten. Om de continuïteit van TSG te waarborgen werd een nieuwe vereniging opgericht, de Vereniging voor Volksgezondheid en Wetenschap (V&W). Deze constructie hield ruim dertig jaar stand, totdat ook V&W in 2017 werd opgeheven. TSG was inmiddels weer omgedoopt, tot Tijdschrift voor Gezondheidswetenschappen. Onder die titel bleef het in druk verschijnen tot en met december 2018. Sindsdien is het een online en open access-publicatie.
Reservoir properties and petrophysical analysis of the Late Miocene Abu Madi Formation in the Abu Qir Bay Area, West Nile Delta, Egypt
Authors: Edress N. A. A. , Abdel-Rasoul M. , Abo-Senna H. H. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe Abu Qir Bay area is on the offshore western part of the Nile Delta. It is divided into three fields namely: North Abu Qir, Abu Qir, and West Abu Qir. The main reservoir in the Abu Qir Bay area is Abu Madi Formation, which represents the Miocene rocks. The current uses conducting advanced conventional petrophysical techniques for determining the reservoir properties of the Abu Madi Formation. The wireline log data is commencing four wells drilled in the study area namely: North Abu Qir-7x, West Abu Qir-1x, Abu Qir-1x, and Abu Qir-13x). The interpreted lithologic data of the studied wire-line logs shows that the Abu Madi Formation’s main lithology consists of sandstone interbedded with some amounts of shale and thin lamina of limestone and anhydrite. Based on the interpreted well logging records, the Abu Madi Formation can be subdivided into three members: The Upper, Middle, and Lower Abu Madi members. The main target is the Upper Abu Madi members with shale volume varying from 8 to 12% with an average of 10%. The Middle Abu Madi member which is considered the second target has a shale volume ranging from 9.5 to 13.5% with an average of 11.5%. The thickness of the Abu Madi Formation ranges in the four drilled wells varies between 67.61 and 167.63 m with an average of 117 m. The petrophysical evaluation displays two important pay zones, and they belong to the Upper and the Middle Abu Madi members. The average porosity and hydrocarbon saturation values of both members indicate that Abu Madi is a very good reservoir. The southwestern area near West Abu Qir-1x well was found a good place for any upcoming appraisal, particularly for the upper Abu Madi reservoir future development.

Abstract
Aim
COVID-19 has exerted distress on virtually every aspect of human life with disproportionate mortality burdens on older individuals and those with underlying medical conditions. Variations in COVID-19 incidence and case fatality rates (CFRs) across countries have incited a growing research interest regarding the effect of social factors on COVID-19 case-loads and fatality rates. We investigated the effect of population median age, inequalities in human development, healthcare capacity, and pandemic mitigation indicators on country-specific COVID-19 CFRs across countries and regions.

Subject and methods
Using population secondary data from multiple sources, we conducted a cross-sectional study and used regional analysis to compare regional differences in COVID-19 CFRs as influenced by the selected indicators.

Results
The analysis revealed wide variations in COVID-19 CFRs and the selected indicators across countries and regions. Mean CFR was highest for South America at 1.973% (± 0.742) and lowest for Oceania at 0.264% (± 0.107), while the Africa sub-region recorded the lowest scores for pandemic preparedness, vaccination rate, and other indicators. Population Median Age [0.073 (0.033 0.113)], Vaccination Rate [−3.3389 (−5.570.033 −1.208)], and Inequality-Adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) [−0.014 (−0.023 −0.004)] emerged as statistically significant predictors of COVID-19 CFR, with directions indicating increasing Population Median Age, higher inequalities in human development and low vaccination rate are predictive of higher fatalities from COVID-19.

Conclusion
Regional differences in COVID-19 CFR may be influenced by underlying differences in sociodemographic and pandemic mitigation indicators. Populations with wide social inequalities, increased population Median Age and low vaccination rates are more likely to suffer higher fatalities from COVID-19.
Necessary but Illegitimate: On Democracy's Secrets
Authors: Mokrosinska Dorota 
Published: November 2022

AbstractTransparency has become the constant refrain of democratic politics. However, executive branch officials consistently seek to insulate their activities from public scrutiny. A recurrent rationale presents secrecy as a necessary measure called for in circumstances in which the basic interests of the state are at stake. The purpose of this paper is to normatively assess the appeals to the necessity of executive secrecy in democratic governance. The paper fleshes out two ways in which the necessity argument has been framed. It argues that an appeal to necessity fails to confer political and/or legal authority on the state's resort to secrecy because necessity escapes normative codification both in the moral and legal domain (“necessity knows no law”). Drawing a distinction between legitimacy and vindication, it argues, however, that even though a state resorting to secrecy acts beyond its democratic authority, this action may be vindicated.
Aging Among Persons with Serious Mental Illness

Abstract: Understanding how persons with serious mental illness (SMI) age is crucial. We compared the aging of persons with SMI with that of older adults from the general population in a large community sample focusing on demographic and clinical variables: cognitive performance, dementia, and diabetes. Participants were New Zealanders 65 years and older who completed the international Resident Assessment Instrument (interRAI). Data from 10,361 participants (mean age 80.4 years, 55.5% female) were analyzed. 258 of them were persons with SMI (mean age 73.0, 57.0% female). Persons with SMI were significantly younger than those from the general population. InterRAI assessments showed no clinical differences. Significantly, more persons with SMI were living alone and without a partner. Older community-dwelling persons with SMI exhibited onset of frailty at a younger age.
