Environmental principles for modern sustainable economic frameworks including the circular economy
Authors: Morseletto Piero 
Published: August 2022

AbstractA set of newly defined environmental principles can advance the sustainability performance of economic frameworks such as industrial ecology, cradle-to-cradle, and the circular economy. Currently, the environmental sustainability of these frameworks is mainly derived from the application of efficiency principles such as waste reduction, or closing and narrowing production, and consumption loops. However, these same principles can bring, in some cases, unintended outcomes that are detrimental to the environment. Efficiency principles also fall short of environmental sustainability aspirations, doing little to contribute to addressing the causes of current global environmental crises. This paper examines 7 widely applicable principles aimed at explicit environmental sustainability: doing no harm to nature, minimising environmental damage, restoring/remediating environmental damage, net-positive impact, no net loss, maintaining the health of ecosystems, and continual environmental improvement. These principles could markedly improve efforts to actively pursue sustainability and foster new economic forms that address our current unsustainable trajectories.
Does the one-size-fits-all setting meet the demand? Assessment of setting EV–charging-capable parking spaces in public parking lots based on agent simulation

Published: August 2022

AbstractDespite the rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs), the limited range and accessibility of charging infrastructure are still obstacles to the development of EVs. At present, the Chinese government has made great efforts to set up charging stations and the most popular construction mode of charging stations in China is to divide a certain proportion of parking spaces in the parking lot to build charge piles. The proportion for every parking lot is the same and recommended by the government, which is a one-size-fits-all construction strategy. Nevertheless, with the growth of EVs, some challenges arise such as how to improve the accessibility of charging facilities in hot parking lots. The current work addresses this challenge by correctly forecasting the charging demand of EVs based on simulation. In particular, in this paper, based on agent simulation technology, electric vehicle agent, fuel vehicle agent and parking lot agent are established to predict the charging demand and the Wulin business district of Hangzhou City is used as an example to predict the charging demand of nine public parking lots. Simulation results show that under the current number of EVs, this one-size-fits-all setting strategy can meet the demand with high accessibility. However, with the increasing of EVs, the spatial distribution of charging demand will be more uneven and a decline in system overall benefits will appear, considering both EVs charging and fuel vehicles parking. Given all this, an optimization method based on GA (Genetic Algorithm) is put forward and an optimized setting strategy is proposed.
Singular symplectic spaces and holomorphic membranes
Authors: Galkin Sergey , Mikhalkin Grigory 
Published: August 2022

AbstractWe set up a topological framework for degenerations of symplectic manifolds into singular spaces paying a special attention to the behavior of Lagrangian manifolds and their (holomorphic) membranes. We show that degenerations into singular toric varieties provide a source of exotic Lagrangian tori.
“Just Right” Policing: a Job for Science
Authors: Sherman Lawrence W. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Research Question
Can police develop the concept of “signal failures” to build a science of “just right” policing, learning from the mistakes of both “under-policing” and “over-policing”?

Data
Qualitative documentation of “signal failure” events across the history of Anglo-American policing that have generated widespread public disapproval of police actions or inactions.

Methods
This communication analyzes and illustrates the potential value of applying scientific methods to signal failures, as a potential source of learning from past failures to prevent future disapproval.

Findings
There are at least four dimensions for pre-mortems against signal failures: quantity of officers present at an incident, quantity of force used by police, quality of choices police make in deciding what to do, and quality of how well police do what is decided to be done. Signal failures can be collected historically and contemporaneously in large police forces, or across multiple smaller forces at a state or provincial level. They can be compared to samples of similar events that did not become signal failures. Even a simple case-control comparison can be a method for predicting which dimension of an event might be most likely to cause a signal failure. Yet building such data bases requires that police records systems become easier to access, so that both internal and external research can be done to enhance “just right” policing.

Conclusion
Like many rare events, it is convenient to dismiss signal failures as “flukes” with little potential for prevention. But like airplane crashes and house fires, rare events can be made even rarer. The value of the scientific method cannot be dismissed without testing its application to these major threats to police legitimacy. “Just right” policing may depend on it.
The function of teacher dashboards depends on the amount of time pressure in the classroom situation: Results from teacher interviews and an experimental study
Authors: van Leeuwen Anouschka , Rummel Nikol 
Published: August 2022

AbstractTeacher dashboards are visual displays that provide information to teachers about their learners. In this article, we address teacher dashboards in the context of computer-supported student collaboration in primary education. We examine the role of different types of dashboards for the specific purpose of aiding teachers in identifying which group of collaborating students is in need of support. This question is addressed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. First, an interview study is reported in which teachers’ views (n = 10) on and perceptions of the acceptability of different types of dashboards were examined. Then, the results of an experimental vignette study are reported, which built upon on the interview study, and in which teachers (n = 35) interacted with mirroring or advising dashboards. Together, the studies revealed that the classroom situation, such as differing levels of time pressure, plays an important role regarding what type of dashboard is beneficial for a teacher to use in the classroom. The theoretical contribution of our study lies in a conceptual and empirical investigation of the relation between teachers’ need for control and their perception of different types of dashboards. Our study also points to several practical implications and directions for future research.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely grown crop in the world. Rhizoctonia cerealis, the causal agent of wheat sharp eyespot disease, has 21 become epidemic in many countries. In the present study, we performed transcriptome analysis in wheat infected by R. cerealis at 0, 12, 30, 70, and 98 h post-infection using R. cerealis-resistant and -susceptible genotypes (CI12633 and ‘Yangmai15’, respectively). We used quantitative real-time PCR to validate the Illumina gene expression data, and identified new gene annotations for 23,654 unigenes in the RNA samples from the resistant and susceptible cultivars. Comparing the same inoculation times, we found that the number of DEGs (differentially-expressed genes) increased gradually before 70 h and declined at 98 h in the two RNA samples. Furthermore, the expression of resistance-associated genes occurred earlier in CI12633 than in ‘Yangmai15’, and higher mRNA expression levels were detected in CI12633; this suggests that timing and relative expression levels of these genes are important in the CI12633-R. cerealis interaction. Functional annotations associated with sharp eyespot resistance included genes involved in energy production and conversion, posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport and catabolism, and defense mechanisms. The results of pathway enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs participate in glutathione metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, lysine degradation, plant-pathogen interaction, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and other resistance-associated metabolic pathways. Disease inoculation experiments and the validation of in vitro antifungal activity of the candidate genes showed that the genes were up- or down-regulated in the resistant genotype CI12633 30 h after inoculation compared to its control, which validated the results of the RNA-seq analysis. The results of our study will help to understand the molecular basis of the host response to R. cerealis infection in wheat, and will also enable the future genetic improvement of sharp eyespot resistance in wheat through the incorporation of novel resistance genes.

Published: August 2022

AbstractWhile emotion regulation often happens in the presence of others, little is known about how social context shapes regulatory efforts and outcomes. One key element of the social context is social support. In two experience sampling studies (Ns = 179 and 123), we examined how the use and affective consequences of two fundamentally social emotion-regulation strategies—social sharing and expressive suppression—vary as a function of perceived social support. Across both studies, we found evidence that social support was associated with variation in people’s use of these strategies, such that when people perceived their environments as being higher (vs. lower) in social support, they engaged in more sharing and less suppression. However, we found only limited and inconsistent support for context-dependent affective outcomes of suppression and sharing: suppression was associated with better affective consequences in the context of higher perceived social support in Study 1, but this effect did not replicate in Study 2. Taken together, these findings suggest that the use of social emotion-regulation strategies may depend on contextual variability in social support, whereas their effectiveness does not. Future research is needed to better understand the circumstances in which context-dependent use of emotion regulation may have emotional benefits, accounting for personal, situational, and cultural factors.
Potential demographic dividend for India, 2001 to 2061: a macro-simulation projection using the spectrum model
Authors: Jain Neha , Goli Srinivas 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis paper projects potential demographic dividend for India for the period from 2001 to 2061 by using simulation modelling software, Spectrum 5.753 which integrates demographic and socio-economic changes. The simulation results highlight that a combination of favourable demographic changes and the right socio-economic policy scenario can provide a maximum demographic dividend to India. Two key findings, after checking their robustness, from the simulation modelling are: First, the effective demographic windows of opportunity for India is available for the period between 2011 and 2041, giving India roughly 30 years of demographic bonus. It is the period where the maximum of the first demographic dividend can be reaped before the ageing burden starts. Second, favourable demographic changes alone has potential to provide a demographic dividend in terms of GDP per capita over 165,000 rupees which is equivalent to an additional 43 percentage for ‘demographic-emphasis scenario’ (Rs. 548,600) compared to ‘demographic as-usual scenario’ (Rs. 382,750) in 2061. However, reaping demographic dividend is conditional on supporting socio-economic policy environment in terms of investment in human capital and decent employment opportunities.
The Gothic Revival in nineteenth century Catholic America: Patrick Charles Keely (1816–1896) and his extensive contribution
Authors: Taylor Julie 
Published: August 2022

AbstractPatrick Charles Keely was arguably America’s greatest nineteenth century Catholic architect. He was responsible for the designs of hundreds of Catholic churches and cathedrals across the north-east of the region throughout the century. He was also instrumental in transforming contemporary Catholic church designs, when he introduced Gothic Revival styles to Catholic church building in the 1840s. By categorising and documenting the styles of the notable Catholic churches that were constructed during the period, this research demonstrates that not only did Keely introduce Gothic Revival architecture to Catholic church building, but he also popularised it to the extent that it became the dominant style for Catholic church construction for the rest of the century. He also continuously developed the style in line with changing architectural concepts and fashions and modified his own version of the Gothic style, to make it affordable for less affluent congregations.

AbstractThis paper studies a mixed singular/switching stochastic control problem for a multidimensional diffusion with multiple regimes on a bounded domain. Using probabilistic partial differential equation and penalization techniques, we show that the value function associated with this problem agrees with the solution to a Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation. In this way, we see that the regularity of the value function is

Diversity among research coordinators in a pediatric emergency medicine research collaborative network
Authors: Shihabuddin Bashar S. , Fritter Jessica , Ellison Angela M. , Cruz Andrea T. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We conducted a survey study of clinical research coordinators (CRCs) at the member institutions of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network, to determine the demographic and linguistic characteristics of CRCs around the network, and any perceived impact of those characteristics on their duties. A total of 53/74 CRCs completed the survey. Most respondents identified as “female,” “white,” and “not Hispanic/Latino.” Most respondents felt that their race/ethnicity and their ability to speak a language other than English would positively impact recruitment. Four female respondents felt that their gender hindered their recruitment efforts and their sense of belonging within the research team.

Abstract

Objective:
The article seeks to assess the Brazilian health system ability to respond to the challenges imposed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by measuring the capacity of Brazilian hospitals to care for COVID-19 cases in the 450 Health Regions of the country during the year 2020. Hospital capacity refers to the availability of hospital beds, equipment, and human resources.

Methods:
We used longitudinal data from the National Register of Health Facilities (CNES) regarding the availability of resources necessary to care for patients with COVID-19 in inpatient facilities (public or private) from January to December 2020. Among the assessed resources are health professionals (certified nursing assistants, nurses, physical therapists, and doctors), hospital beds (clinical, intermediate care, and intensive care units), and medical equipment (computed tomography scanners, defibrillators, electrocardiograph monitors, ventilators, and resuscitators). In addition to conducting a descriptive analysis of absolute and relative data (per 10,000 users), a synthetic indicator named Installed Capacity Index (ICI) was calculated using the multivariate principal component analysis technique to assess hospital capacity. The indicator was further stratified into value ranges to understand its evolution.

Results:
There was an increase in all selected indicators between January and December 2020. It was possible to observe differences between the Northeast and North regions and the other regions of the country; most Health Regions presented low ICI. The ICI increased between the beginning and the end of 2020, but this evolution differed among Health Regions. The average increase in the ICI was more evident in the groups that already had considerably high baseline capacity in January 2020.

Conclusions:
It was possible to identify inequalities in the hospital capacity to care for patients affected by COVID -19 in the Health Regions of Brazil, with a concentration of low index values in the Northeast and North of the country. As the indicator increased throughout the year 2020, inequalities were also observed. The information here provided may be used by health authorities, providers, and managers in planning and adjusting for future COVID-19 care and in dimensioning the adequate supply of hospital beds, health-care professionals, and devices in Health Regions to reduce associated morbidity and mortality. We recommend that the ICI continue to be calculated in the coming months of the pandemic to monitor the capacity in the country’s Health Regions.
CHRONOLOGY OF IBA SHAFT TOMBS IN THE SOUTHERN LEVANT: INTEGRAL PART OF THE IBA CULTURE FROM BEGINNING TO END

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACTVast burial fields, some with hundreds of burials, categorize the southern Levant’s Intermediate Bronze Age period (IBA). This phenomenon contrasts with a limited number of burials found from the preceding Early Bronze III period. This paper presents the first radiocarbon dating research of sampled bones from shaft tombs from five IBA burial sites across Israel: Yehud, Jebel Qaaqir, Sheikh-Danon, Hazorea, and Kefar-Veradim. Prescreening methods, including Fourier transform infrared analysis, were applied to identify best-preserved collagen in archaeological bones for radiocarbon dating. Overall, the measured date ranges cover the IBA timeline, supporting the observation that the IBA signature shaft tombs are a fundamental tradition of the IBA culture, at least in Israel. A single IBA shaft tomb at Jebel Qaaqir which contained remains of multiple humans, supplied different dates for various people, spanning over a few hundred years. These results suggest a tribal or family-oriented IBA community with a long-lasting tradition reflected in centuries of collective burial practices.
Prophetic Piety, Mysticism, and Authority in Premodern Arabic Devotional Literature: al-Jazuli's Dala'il al-Khayrat (15th Century)
Authors: Chih Rachida 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIn the Maghreb and the Mamluk sultanate during the 15th century, the production of books that encouraged devotion to the Prophet Muhammad—both commentaries on existing texts and new works—increased. This literary production was an expression of the intensification of the veneration of the Prophet that occurred under the influence of Sufis and the political elite. The Arabic devotional literature dedicated to the Prophet began to take shape during the 12th and 13th centuries with the rise of the great saintly sufi figures who laid claim to Prophetic descent and composed celebrated prayers and litanies of blessings upon the Prophet. This article looks at how such texts were critical in the diffusion to popular audiences of doctrinal concepts developed by sufis who placed the figure of the Prophet at the heart of spiritual life and the doctrine of sainthood (walāya). Specifically, it examines a well known but nevertheless understudied 15th-century Moroccan prayer book that is still in use today: Dala'il al-Khayrat (Proofs of Good Deeds). In studying this text, which is both emblematic and exceptional, my aim is to cast fresh light on the novel political, economic, and institutional conditions surrounding the international circulation of an Arabic literature of devotion to the Prophet during the early modern period, and to explore the religious and political implications of these circumstances for sufis of the time.
The Dark Matter of World Politics: System Trust, Summits, and State Personhood
Authors: Ku Minseon , Mitzen Jennifer 
Published: August 2022

AbstractInternational relations theory has had a trust revival, with scholars focusing on how trust can enhance interpersonal cooperation attempts between leaders. We propose there is another type of trust at play in world politics. International system trust is a feeling of confidence in the international social order, which is indexed especially by trust in its central unit, state persons. System trust anchors ontological security, and its presence is an unstated assumption of the international relations trust scholarship. In this paper we conceptualize system trust. We illuminate its presence by flagging the production of state personhood in a familiar case in international relations trust scholarship, the 1985 Geneva Summit between Reagan and Gorbachev. Interpersonal and system trust perspectives highlight different aspects of the same summit. The juxtaposition suggests new lines of research into the production of state persons in diplomacy, the relationship between interpersonal and system trust, and the impact of the rise of personalistic/patrimonial leadership on diplomacy and international order.
