The transition towards a circular economy. A framework for SMEs
Authors: Gennari Francesca 
Published: September 2022

AbstractSmall and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) contribute significantly to the European GDP and play a pivotal role in the ecological transition from a linear to a circular economy (CE). According to transition management theory, which emphasizes the active role of firms as accelerators of global transition processes, and based on qualitative content analysis of the literature, we found key pillars of CE (governance, relations with stakeholders and innovation) that SMEs should manage in an integrated way to increase the speed of the transition towards circularity. The result of this study is a conceptual framework that explains the development of the identified pillars in the context of the transition towards CE. This study addresses a gap in the literature concerning SMEs’ transition towards circularity, emphasizing the importance of a dynamic vision and the integrated management of a variety of key dimensions. The study also provides pragmatic advice to facilitate self-assessments by SMEs with respect to their path of transition and to maximize the effectiveness of policy-makers’ interventions to support SMEs. Finally, the study has societal implications: promoting the transition of SMEs towards CE can accelerate the global green transition due to the proximity of SMEs to the local environment and work force.
The End of Vagueness: Technological Epistemicism, Surveillance Capitalism, and Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Kerr Alison Duncan , Scharp Kevin 
Published: September 2022

AbstractArtificial Intelligence (AI) pervades humanity in 2022, and it is notoriously difficult to understand how certain aspects of it work. There is a movement—ExplainableArtificial Intelligence (XAI)—to develop new methods for explaining the behaviours of AI systems. We aim to highlight one important philosophical significance of XAI—it has a role to play in the elimination of vagueness. To show this, consider that the use of AI in what has been labeledsurveillance capitalismhas resulted in humans quickly gaining the capability to identify and classify most of the occasions in which languages are used. We show that the knowability of this information is incompatible with what a certain theory of vagueness—epistemicism—says about vagueness. We argue that one way the epistemicist could respond to this threat is to claim that this process brought about the end of vagueness. However, we suggest an alternative interpretation, namely that epistemicism is false, but there is a weaker doctrine we dubtechnological epistemicism, which is the view that vagueness is due to ignorance of linguistic usage, but the ignorance can be overcome. The idea is that knowing more of the relevant data and how to process it enables us to know the semantic values of our words and sentences with higher confidence and precision. Finally, we argue that humans are probably not going to believe what future AI algorithms tell us about the sharp boundaries of our vague words unless the AI involved can be explained in terms understandable by humans. That is, if people are going to accept that AI can tell them about the sharp boundaries of the meanings of their words, then it is going to have to be XAI.
Paris’s Choice (1670) by Charles Davenant: A Seventeenth-Century Play Preserved in a University Manuscript Miscellany
Authors: Rodríguez-Loro Nora 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to analyse and discuss a seventeenth-century University play, Paris’s choice by Charles Davenant, and provide bibliographical information about the only manuscript copy extant. The piece has been preserved in a miscellany of poems and songs, MS Rawlinson poetical 84, held at the Bodleian Library, Oxford University. Based on its contents, the miscellany seems to have been compiled at New College, Oxford, and it may have been originated by a member of the Paulet family. The manuscript then came into the possession of an Oxford student named Giles Frampton, who was at Balliol College at the same time as Charles Davenant. The manuscript play is preceded by a sort of title-page, featuring a cast of actors and the date 1670, which might be the date of the original performance. Whereas the MS Rawlinson poet. 84 has drawn the interest of some scholars, Paris’s choice has hitherto received minor attention. Thus, this paper contains a detailed description of the miscellany, a discussion of its compilation and ownership, the play’s context of composition and stage history and a semi-diplomatic transcription of the play-text. My study is intended to contribute to our knowledge of Charles Davenant’s literary production and will also be relevant to scholars working on the contents of the miscellany or on university amateur drama.

Published: September 2022

AbstractEnabling storing, scenario design, documentation, access and execution of scientific computations for multirisks mapping is the aim of the VIGIRISKS web platform currently designed and developed by the BRGM (French Geological Survey). VIGIRISKS platform insures geohazards data management, reproducibility of risks calculations, allows information transparency and improving efficiency by easing collaborative work and sharing results and practices. The scientific scope is multirisk mapping, including cascading effects, in the domain of natural hazard (earthquake, landslide and submersion) from the phenomenon modelling to the impact evaluation on exposed elements such as buildings. VIGIRISKS web platform initially designed for BRGM experts aims to be in a long-term an open repository for national and international experts working on natural hazards management. Integration and deployment of new datasets and computational processes oriented towards risks mapping is as automatic as possible for the convenience of users.

Authors: König Till , Hagen S. P. , Virtanen S. , Galetz M. C. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractCo-based superalloys have been developed as candidate materials to replace Ni-based superalloys in hot sections of turbine engines, however, their oxidation resistance is limited. Therefore, in this work chromium and aluminum diffusion coatings were developedviathe pack cementation process for novelγ/γ′-strengthened superalloys of the Co–Ni–Al–W system. This alloy system also offers the opportunity to vary the cobalt-to-nickel ratio and the tungsten content systematically to investigate their influence on the coating process. The coating process was shown to successfully enrich the surfaces of such alloys either in aluminum or chromium. For Al, the result was the formation of (Co, Ni)Al on top of an interdiffusion zone, while for chromium a Cr-rich layer in solid solution with the substrate along with the formation ofσ-phase were observed. The coating formation mechanisms are discussed for both coatings in the light of activities and phase formation.
Computational Methods to Mitigate the Effect of High Penetration of Renewable Energy Sources on Power System Frequency Regulation: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: El-Bahay Mahmoud H. , Lotfy Mohammed E. , El-Hameed Mohamed A. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractDepletion of fossil fuel, global warming, and their environmental pollution clarify the importance of renewable energy sources (RESs). However, high penetration of RESs decreases power systems inertia, hence, the system becomes more sensitive to disturbances. This results in problems with frequency control because it increases the rate of change of frequency and may lead to load shedding or tripping of generating units. This paper aims at introducing a comprehensive survey of the effects of the increase in RESs on power system inertia and frequency. Different models of wind-driven and photovoltaic systems used for frequency control studies have been introduced. The up-to-date effective frequency regulation methods which can be used with highly RESs penetrated power systems have been revised and compared. These methods include virtual inertia-based methods depending on energy storage devices, de-loading of renewable energy sources, various inertial response techniques and demand response at load section including under frequency load shedding and electric vehicles. Extensive comparisons among these methods have been carried to guide power system designers, operators, researchers and grid codes taskforces in proper incorporation of RESs for frequency regulation of power systems.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Nitrogen management in a karst basin is examined through the establishment of legumes Leucaena leucocephala and Phaseolus vulgaris in pasture and crop areas respectively, with the objective of enriching the nutrient flow interrupted by the construction of dams and canals built during the 1990s, which have altered the natural patterns of hydrological variation and transport to the sea. The different soil treatments show low values of overland fluxes to the sea between 0.9623 and 0.9624 kg ha−1 yr−1 for crops, discretely increasing by 0.02% in pasture and by 0.28% for crop + pasture according to the geomorphic potential of the basin. For land use conditions, a positive economic nitrogen balance was estimated in the range of 55–1560 for crops and 22–2400 USD ha−1 yr−1 for pastures, the latter showing positive balances at the lowest fixation rates, confirming that cover management with legumes maximizes gains and minimizes losses for both agricultural and marine ecosystems, providing a source of indirect fertilization downstream where agricultural areas are located.

Article highlights

In the flat karst region, geomorphological potential is the main factor in predicting the dynamics of sediment movement.

Leguminous land use has a weak effect on alleviating pressures on the island's oligotrophic marine ecosystems.

In both crop and pasture, a positive annual economic balance of N was found in the range of 55–2400 USD ha−1 yr−1.

Published: September 2022

AbstractStability is a key indicator of the efficiency of the gas metal arc welding operation, and it is linked to other quality indicators like spattering and weld formation. This study describes methods of assessing arc stability for selected gas metal arc welding (GMAW) conditions. It focuses on stability characterization and defines the relationship between process stability and influencing factors. Welding tests were performed using two selected transfer modes the spray and the pulse transfer modes to characterize stability and develop processes further for better overall performance. This scope of parameters was selected to simulate certain range of stability behavior, so it was possible to analyze the factors correlated to stability, their relevance in influencing stability, and consequently to define a calculation algorithm for the determination of stability. Also, stability was calculated and scored based on two scoring indices. With a higher voltage, disturbance levels were noticed to reduce as in the case of 29 V, 31.5 V, and 32.5 V with 32.5 V showing better stability to spattering, smoothness, repeatability, and regularity of the process. Actual values of positive and negative voltage peaks, voltage amplitudes, and their average values and standard deviations in selected analyzed time showed to be relevant indicators to characterize stability of the process. Variations of indicated voltage signals related to explosions showed to have complex patterns in terms of their waveforms. So, all these were analyzed step by step and consequently selected for characterization in the welding conditions that were selected in the scope of this study.
Exchange on dynamic encounter networks allows plant mitochondria to collect complete sets of mitochondrial DNA products despite their incomplete genomes
Authors: Giannakis Konstantinos , Chustecki Joanna M. , Johnston Iain G. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractMitochondria in plant cells usually contain less than a full copy of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome. Here, we asked whether mitochondrial dynamics may allow individual mitochondria to ‘collect’ a full set of mtDNA-encoded gene products over time, by facilitating exchange between individuals akin to trade on a social network. We characterise the collective dynamics of mitochondria inArabidopsishypocotyl cells using a recent approach combining single-cell time-lapse microscopy, video analysis and network science. We use a quantitative model to predict the capacity for sharing genetic information and gene products through the networks of encounters between mitochondria. We find that biological encounter networks support the emergence of gene product sets over time more readily than a range of other possible network structures. Using results from combinatorics, we identify the network statistics that determine this propensity, and discuss how features of mitochondrial dynamics observed in biology facilitate the collection of mtDNA-encoded gene products.
Buying Votes across Borders? A List Experiment on Mexican Immigrants in the United States

Published: September 2022

AbstractAs international migration has grown worldwide, the issue of how to assure the political rights of citizens living abroad has attracted much scholarly attention. One concern has been that if vote-buying is widespread in home countries, this practice could be exported to external elections. Although there have been numerous studies focused on electoral participation in external voting, there has been no systematic test of whether vote-buying is occurring across borders. This study aims to address this question by focusing on the 2018 federal elections in Mexico. Our list experiment shows that in our sample, approximately 32 per cent of Mexican immigrants in the United States experienced vote-buying during the electoral campaign. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis shows that the people most susceptible to vote-buying were living in areas where there was a high concentration of Mexican immigrants. The study results point to the importance of cross-border networks, which have been built between countries sending and receiving immigrants, in facilitating vote-buying across borders.
Measuring heritability: Why bother?
Authors: Shuker David M. , Dickins Thomas E. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Uchiyama et al. rightly consider how cultural variation may influence estimates of heritability by contributing to environmental sources of variation. We disagree, however, with the idea that generalisable estimates of heritability are ever a plausible aim. Heritability estimates are always context-specific, and to suggest otherwise is to misunderstand what heritability can and cannot tell us.
Cultural evolution: The third component of mental illness heritability
Authors: Amato Davide 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Uchiyama et al. provide a theoretical framework to explain the gap between reported gene–environment interactions and real-life epidemiological statistics. Through cultural evolution, informed behavioral approaches mitigate the impact of environmental risk on disease onset. Similarly, here we propose that fostering certain behavioral traits, transmitted culturally or through access to scientific knowledge, could confer resilience to mental illnesses such as schizophrenia.
COVID-19, climate shocks, and food security linkages: evidence and perceptions from smallholder farming communities in Tanzania

Published: September 2022

AbstractInsights on the indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are critical for designing and implementing policies to alleviate the food security burden it may have caused, and for bolstering rural communities against similar macroeconomic shocks in the future. Yet estimating the causal effects of the pandemic is difficult due to its ubiquitous nature and entanglement with other shocks. In this descriptive study, we combine high-resolution satellite imagery to control for plot-level rainfall with household socio-economic panel data from 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020, to differentiate the effect of the pandemic from climatic shocks on food security in Morogoro, Tanzania. We find evidence of decreased incomes, increased prices of staple foods, and increased food insecurity in 2020 relative to previous years, and link these changes to the pandemic by asking households about their perceptions of COVID-19. Respondents overwhelmingly attribute economic hardships to the pandemic, with perceived impacts differing by asset level.
Location of Uranium‐Rich Brines Determines the Distribution and Grade of Unconformity‐Related Uranium Deposits
Authors: Xu Xu , Lin Hua , Yang Jianwen 
Published: September 2022

AbstractRecent fluid inclusion analysis indicates that uranium‐bearing brines were present in both the sandstone and the basement at the time of ore genesis in the Athabasca Basin, Canada. However, the question of how the location of uranium‐rich brines controls the formation of unconformity‐related uranium deposits remains unresolved. In this study, four reactive flow modeling scenarios are designed to address this outstanding issue. Our numerical results confirm that the basement‐hosting uranium‐rich brines are capable of forming high‐grade concentrated uranium deposits in the footwall region of the fault zone below the unconformity interface. In contrast, the sandstone‐hosting uranium‐rich brines lead to the formation of low‐grade sheet‐like uranium mineral precipitates above the sandstone layer rather than in the basement. Therefore, this study reveals that unconformity‐related uranium deposits tend to be formed when the basement unit serves as the main uranium source. Taking the sandstone layer as the main uranium source, no unconformity‐related uranium deposits can be formed since the resultant uranium precipitation has no spatial relation with the unconformity interface.

Published: September 2022

AbstractWe conduct a search for 5–16 Hz magnetic waves below 200 km and within the Martian ionosphere using data from multiple instruments onboard the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN mission spacecraft. We present a case study and an analysis of the 54 identified events to establish trends. Nearly half the wave events occur near the cusps of strong crustal magnetic fields (CMFs). The stronger regions have fewer events and may be a result of stronger CMFs preventing draped field lines from reaching lower altitudes. A majority of the observed magnetic waves occur on the nightside, are associated with greater fluxes of electrons traveling downward along the local magnetic field compared to those traveling upward, and correspond to increases in thermal plasma density. These aspects indicate electron precipitation was present during these wave events. We conclude that the waves are observed under magnetic field conditions favorable for the penetration of electrons and waves into the lower ionosphere, but that the electron precipitation cannot solely account for the waves or plasma changes.

Published: September 2022

AbstractSecure information retrieval is an essential task in today’s highly digitised society. In some applications, it may be necessary that user query’s privacy and database content’s security are enforced. For these settings, symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) could be employed, but its implementation is known to be demanding, requiring a private key-exchange network as the base layer. Here, we report for the first time a realisation of provably-secure SPIR supported by a quantum-secure key-exchange network. The SPIR scheme looks at biometric security, offering secure retrieval of 582-byte fingerprint files from a database with 800 entries. Our experimental results clearly demonstrate the feasibility of SPIR with quantum secure communications, thereby opening up new possibilities in secure distributed data storage and cloud computing over the future Quantum Internet.

AbstractThe detection of cause-effect relationships from the analysis of paleoclimatic records is a crucial step to disentangle the main mechanisms at work in the climate system.

Published: September 2022

AbstractIon irradiation is a powerful tool to tune properties of semiconductors and, in particular, of gallium oxide (Ga2O3) which is a promising ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor exhibiting phase instability for high enough strain/disorder levels. In the present paper we observed an interesting interplay between the disorder and strain in monoclinic β-Ga2O3 single crystals by comparing atomic and cluster ion irradiations as well as atomic ions co-implants. The results obtained by a combination of the channeling technique, X-ray diffraction and theoretical calculations show that the disorder accumulation in β-Ga2O3 exhibits superlinear behavior as a function of the collision cascade density. Moreover, the level of strain in the implanted region can be engineered by changing the disorder conditions in the near surface layer. The results can be used for better understanding of the radiation effects in β-Ga2O3 and imply that disorder/strain interplay provides an additional degree of freedom to maintain desirable strain in Ga2O3, potentially applicable to modify the rate of the polymorphic transitions in this material.
