Personality Traits and Parental Burnout Among Fathers: A Moderated Mediation Model
Authors: Wang Wei , Liu Xia , Wang Shengnan , Li Yimin , Li Yongxin 
Published: December 2022

AbstractFocusing on a sample of fathers, this study examined the effects of two personality traits, agreeableness and neuroticism, on parental burnout, as well as the mediating role of parenting sense of competence and moderating effects of parental psychological flexibility. Data were collected from 263 fathers of middle-school children in central China, with questionnaires including the agreeableness and neuroticism subscales from the Big Five personality trait scale, Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, Parenting Psychological Flexibility scale, and Parental Burnout Assessment. To analyze the hypothesized moderated mediation model, bootstrapping analysis and structural equation modeling were performed. Results showed that agreeableness was negatively correlated with parental burnout, while neuroticism was positively correlated with parental burnout; both these relationships were partially mediated by parenting sense of competency. Further, psychological flexibility moderated the relationship between parenting sense of competence and parental burnout. When parenting psychological flexibility was low, parenting sense of competence was significantly related to parental burnout, while parenting psychological flexibility was high, parenting sense of competence was not related to parental burnout significantly. These preliminary findings provide theoretical guidance and an empirical basis for intervention strategies to prevent burnout among fathers.
The Political Economy of the Frankfurt School
Authors: Fleck Christian 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe paper presents the findings of two recent books on the financial history of the Frankfurt School: Jeanette Erazo-Heufelder, Der argentinische Krösus: Kleine Wirtschaftsgeschichte der Frankfurter Schule, 2017, and Bertus Mulder, Sophie Louisa Kwaak und das Kapital der Unternehmerfamilie Weil. Ein Beitrag zur Wirtschaftsgeschichte der Frankfurter Schule, 2021 (Dutch original 2015). In contrast to the “court histories” of the school, the two authors tell the story of the money that brought the school to life and secured its existence throughout a turbulent period of history. At the center of the books are individuals who have been sidelined until now or even completely ignored by the literature on the Frankfurt School: on the one hand, Felix Weil, who founded and financed the Institute of Social Research and, on the other hand, Erich A. Nadel and Sophie L. Kwaak, two employees of the holding company who managed the accounts of the Weil family and the Institute’s foundations and were responsible for protecting the assets from being seized by Nazis. The books’ thick descriptions induced the author of the present paper to consider an alternative perspective on the Frankfurt School by contemplating Max Horkheimer and Friedrich Pollock as playing confidential games with Weil and others.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen, that can lead to various community- and hospital-acquired infections. RinA is a transcription activator of S. aureus phage φ 11 involved in phage packaging and virulence gene transfer. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of RinA in the regulation of virulence.

Objective
We aimed to explore a novel contribution of RinA in the regulation of virulence and provide a new drug target in the treatment of S. aureus infections.

Methods
The specific functions of RinA in S. aureus were analyzed by the methods of growth curve, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), subcellular localization, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), infection model of Galleria mellonella larvae and the mouse subcutaneous abscess model.

Results
In this study, we demonstrated that RinA is a protein evenly distributed in the cytoplasm of S. aureus, and its deletion could cause the growth defects. RT-qPCR and EMSA determined that rinA could negatively regulate the expression of sarA by directly binding to its promoter, and vice versa. The Galleria mellonella larvae infection and mouse subcutaneous abscess models revealed that the rinA mutant strain exhibited obvious virulence defects. When sarA is knocked out, the virulence of S.aureus had no significantly changes whether rinA is knocked out or not.

Conclusion
Our fndings demonstrated that phage transcription activator RinA regulates S. aureus virulence by governing sarA expression.
A hybrid algorithm based on state-adaptive slime mold model and fractional-order ant system for the travelling salesman problem
Authors: Gong Xiaoling , Rong Ziheng , Wang Jian , Zhang Kai , Yang Shengxiang 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe ant colony optimization (ACO) is one efficient approach for solving the travelling salesman problem (TSP). Here, we propose a hybrid algorithm based on state-adaptive slime mold model and fractional-order ant system (SSMFAS) to address the TSP. The state-adaptive slime mold (SM) model with two targeted auxiliary strategies emphasizes some critical connections and balances the exploration and exploitation ability of SSMFAS. The consideration of fractional-order calculus in the ant system (AS) takes full advantage of the neighboring information. The pheromone update rule of AS is modified to dynamically integrate the flux information of SM. To understand the search behavior of the proposed algorithm, some mathematical proofs of convergence analysis are given. The experimental results validate the efficiency of the hybridization and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has the competitive ability of finding the better solutions on TSP instances compared with some state-of-the-art algorithms.
No Resilience Without Partners: A Case Study on German Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in the Context of COVID-19
Authors: Trunk Anna , Birkel Hendrik 
Published: December 2022

AbstractMuch research has been conducted on the effects of COVID-19 on company and supply chain resilience. However, few contributions have focused on small and medium-sized enterprises. These companies are claimed to be the drivers of economic growth but often lack access to resources and alternatives when interruptions occur, making them a bottleneck for supply chains. Using a multiple case study approach, this paper links resilience theory to the design of the relationships between eight German small and medium-sized enterprises and their suppliers and customers. It analyzes the way in which these companies combine contractual and relational investments across their supply chain flows of product, finance, and information in order to improve resilience. Company representatives were interviewed on three occasions between June 2018 and December 2020, that is, before COVID-19 and during the lockdowns. The results of the case study explain why and how companies of this type have been able to anticipate and manage the crisis. The interviews revealed that those companies that made the largest investments in the relational aspects of their partnerships while safeguarding product and financial flows through contracts performed best. In principle, contractual investments are higher in partnerships with suppliers. However, the precise combination of contractual and relational investments depends on the business model, the business philosophy of the CEO, and the allocation of power within the supply chain. These findings indicate that, when collaborating with small businesses, supply chain partners should focus on building relationships in order to create resilience in the supply chain.
Immigrant pentecostalism in the emergence of the COVID-19 crisis: reactions and responses from the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God in Berlin
Authors: van der Hoek Stefan 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis article seeks to analyze the reactions and responses of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) in Berlin to the global COVID-19 crisis. Although the UCKG has been the subject of multiple international types of research regarding the spread of the COVID-19 virus, this article shows that the UCKG’s global network of local churches must be differentiated in their responses and reactions to the global pandemic. This article traces and analyzes how the local UCKG in Berlin responded to the pandemic in its respective conditions and differed from the global network in the emergence of a pandemic in its rhetoric and discourse, using the concept of the Third Space. For this purpose, the services and sermons of local pastors were recorded to analyze how the discourse toward the COVID-19 crisis changed during the period of occurrence and awareness of a global pandemic. The results show how the church has adapted to the local restriction and regulations and reflect the international literature on how the UCKG’s mother church in Brazil acted in comparison. The church and its pastors in Germany responded to the global pandemic in three primary ways: they assigned to authorities’ guidelines, provided sermons with undertones of spiritual warfare, and rejected the interpretation of interdependencies between demons and health issues.
Partizipative Forschung mit Kindern im internationalen Diskurs – Impulse für die Grundschulforschung in Deutschland
Authors: Hüpping Birgit , Velten Katrin 
Published: December 2022

ZusammenfassungPartizipative Forschung mit Kindern gewinnt im Schnittfeld von Kindheits- und Grundschulforschung national und international an Bedeutung, um Kinder und ihre Perspektiven in Forschungsprojekte einzubeziehen. Ergebnisse eines systematischen Forschungsreviews zur Partizipativen Forschung mit Grundschulkindern zeigen, dass in englischsprachigen Studien forschungsethische Fragen systematischer im Forschungsprozess mit den Kindern und als zentraler Gegenstand in Publikationen reflektiert werden, während deutschsprachige Studien vor allem Ansätze Partizipativer Forschung forschungsmethodisch diskutieren und Fragen generationaler Ordnung und (Macht)Asymmetrien eher im Diskursfeld der Erwachsenen verbleiben. Daraus werden Herausforderungen sowie Potenziale für die Grundschulforschung in Deutschland abgeleitet.
Automating Learning Situations in EdTech: Techno-Commercial Logic of Assetisation
Authors: Hansen Morten , Komljenovic Janja 
Published: December 2022

AbstractCritical scholarship has already shown how automation processes may be problematic, for example, by reproducing social inequalities instead of removing them or requiring intense labour from education institutions’ staff instead of easing the workload. Despite these critiques, automated interventions in education are expanding fast and often with limited scrutiny of the technological and commercial specificities of such processes. We build on existing debates by asking: does automation of learning situations contribute to assetisation processes in EdTech, and if so, how? Drawing on document analysis and interviews with EdTech companies’ employees, we argue that automated interventions make assetisation possible. We trace their techno-commercial logic by analysing how learning situations are made tangible by constructing digital objects, and how they are automated through specific computational interventions. We identify three assetisation processes: First, the alienation of digital objects from students and staff deepens the companies’ control of digital services offering automated learning interventions. Second, engagement fetishism—i.e., treating engagement as both the goal and means of automated learning situations—valorises particular forms of automation. And finally, techno-deterministic beliefs drive investment and policy into identified forms of automation, making higher education and EdTech constituents act ‘as if’ the automation of learning is feasible.
Krise als Dauerzustand. Die Corona-Pandemie in der Geschichte der Gegenwart
Authors: Lenel Laetitia 
Published: December 2022

ZusammenfassungAls empfundener gesellschaftlicher Ausnahmezustand provozierte die Corona-Pandemie frühzeitig eine Vielzahl zeitgenössischer Deutungen. Der Essay setzt sich mit zwei geschichtswissenschaftlichen Abrissen der Pandemie und der gesellschaftlichen Reaktionen darauf auseinander. Neben einem Vergleich beider Bücher fragt der Beitrag auch, wie die Autoren unser Verständnis der Zeit zwischen 2020 und 2021 erhellen, und diskutiert die Herausforderungen und Gefahren einer Krisengeschichtsschreibung. Krise, so argumentiert der Essay, ist mittlerweile fast immer – eine Tatsache, an der die Geschichtswissenschaft nicht ganz unschuldig ist. So produzieren die narrativen Konventionen der Geschichtswissenschaften das Überraschungsmoment, welches das Gefühl des Ausnahmezustands mit hervorbringt. Der Beitrag skizziert mögliche Gegenstrategien, die den Blick auf gegenwärtige und künftige Herausforderungen schärfen könnten.
The Aesthetics of Solidarity: Our Lady of Guadalupe and American Democracy
Authors: Pineda-Madrid Nancy 
Published: December 2022

“What moves the human heart?”1 is a question the late Alejandro García-Rivera spent his life examining through his many works on theological aesthetics. In The Aesthetics of Solidarity, Nichole Flores furthers this work by framing her important contribution to the field in a new direction: “What often remains unexamined … is the role the very structures of liberal democracy itself plays in hindering robust participation among Latines2 and other marginalized groups. Understanding why this is the case invites an exploration of the relationship involving political liberalism, Latine theological aesthetics, Catholic social teaching, and Our Lady of Guadalupe.”3 In this captivating book she advances the overarching claim that “Latine theological aesthetics can help generate a framework for thinking about pluralism and participation within a democracy.”4
Reflective practice in psychiatric training: Balint groups during COVID-19
Authors: Elzain M. , Murthy S. , Omer S. , McCarthy G. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractReflective practice is increasingly being recognized as an important component of doctors’ professional development. Balint group practice is centered on the doctor–patient relationship: what it means, how it may be used to benefit patients, and why it commonly fails owing to a lack of understanding between doctor and patient. The COVID-19 pandemic led to unprecedented disruption to postgraduate medical training programs, including the mandatory Balint groups for psychiatric trainees. This editorial reports on the experience of online Balint groups in the North West of Ireland during the COVID-19 pandemic, and furthermore provides guidance for online Balint group practice into the future.
Baroclinic Ocean Response to Climate Forcing Regulates Decadal Variability of Ice‐Shelf Melting in the Amundsen Sea

AbstractWarm ocean waters drive rapid ice‐shelf melting in the Amundsen Sea. The ocean heat transport toward the ice shelves is associated with the Amundsen Undercurrent, a near‐bottom current that flows eastward along the shelf break and transports warm waters onto the continental shelf via troughs. Here we use a regional ice‐ocean model to show that, on decadal time scales, the undercurrent's variability is baroclinic (depth‐dependent). Decadal ocean surface cooling in the tropical Pacific results in cyclonic wind anomalies over the Amundsen Sea. These wind anomalies drive a westward perturbation of the shelf‐break surface flow and an eastward anomaly (strengthening) of the undercurrent, leading to increased ice‐shelf melting. This contrasts with shorter time scales, for which surface current and undercurrent covary, a barotropic (depth‐independent) behavior previously assumed to apply at all time scales. This suggests that interior ocean processes mediate the decadal ice‐shelf response in the Amundsen Sea to climate forcing.
Paleolake Inlet Valley Formation: Factors Controlling Which Craters Breached on Early Mars

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe ancient surface of Mars is dominated by degraded impact craters with reduced or eliminated rim relief. Some degraded craters have an inlet valley, while many remain fluvially isolated. Despite controlling Martian fluvial connectivity, few constraints exist on why some—but not all—degraded craters possess inlets. We compared a suite of properties around degraded Martian craters with and without inlets to ascertain what topographic and hydrologic factors influenced inlet formation. Slope and surface roughness are similar, but topographic inset within the catchment, drainage density, and potential contributing areas diverge for breached and non‐breached craters. We suggest that the importance of basin hydrology‐related factors over topographic factors is the result of the former less frequently surpassing inlet incision thresholds than the latter. We conclude that greater topographic inset (i.e., craters deeper within regional depressions) promoted higher discharge, and that inlet valley formation was ultimately controlled by Mars' crater‐dominated topography.

Published: December 2022

AbstractSynthetic biology often involves engineering microbial strains to express high-value proteins. Thanks to progress in rapid DNA synthesis and sequencing, deep learning has emerged as a promising approach to build sequence-to-expression models for strain optimization. But such models need large and costly training data that create steep entry barriers for many laboratories. Here we study the relation between accuracy and data efficiency in an atlas of machine learning models trained on datasets of varied size and sequence diversity. We show that deep learning can achieve good prediction accuracy with much smaller datasets than previously thought. We demonstrate that controlled sequence diversity leads to substantial gains in data efficiency and employed Explainable AI to show that convolutional neural networks can finely discriminate between input DNA sequences. Our results provide guidelines for designing genotype-phenotype screens that balance cost and quality of training data, thus helping promote the wider adoption of deep learning in the biotechnology sector.

AbstractCobalt oxides have long been understood to display intriguing phenomena known as spin-state crossovers, where the cobalt ion spin changes vs. temperature, pressure, etc. A very different situation was recently uncovered in praseodymium-containing cobalt oxides, where a first-order coupled spin-state/structural/metal-insulator transition occurs, driven by a remarkable praseodymium valence transition. Such valence transitions, particularly when triggering spin-state and metal-insulator transitions, offer highly appealing functionality, but have thus far been confined to cryogenic temperatures in bulk materials (e.g., 90 K in Pr1-xCaxCoO3). Here, we show that in thin films of the complex perovskite (Pr1-yYy)1-xCaxCoO3-δ, heteroepitaxial strain tuning enables stabilization of valence-driven spin-state/structural/metal-insulator transitions to at least 291 K, i.e., around room temperature. The technological implications of this result are accompanied by fundamental prospects, as complete strain control of the electronic ground state is demonstrated, from ferromagnetic metal under tension to nonmagnetic insulator under compression, thereby exposing a potential novel quantum critical point.

AbstractThe second Venus flyby of the BepiColombo mission offer a unique opportunity to make a complete tour of one of the few gas-dynamics dominated interaction regions between the supersonic solar wind and a Solar System object. The spacecraft pass through the full Venusian magnetosheath following the plasma streamlines, and cross the subsolar stagnation region during very stable solar wind conditions as observed upstream by the neighboring Solar Orbiter mission. These rare multipoint synergistic observations and stable conditions experimentally confirm what was previously predicted for the barely-explored stagnation region close to solar minimum. Here, we show that this region has a large extend, up to an altitude of 1900 km, and the estimated low energy transfer near the subsolar point confirm that the atmosphere of Venus, despite being non-magnetized and less conductive due to lower ultraviolet flux at solar minimum, is capable of withstanding the solar wind under low dynamic pressure.

AbstractCarbon dioxide capture is essential to achieve net-zero emissions. A hurdle to the design of improved capture materials is the lack of adequate tools to characterise how CO2 adsorbs. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a promising probe of CO2 capture, but it remains challenging to distinguish different adsorption products. Here we perform a comprehensive computational investigation of 22 amine-functionalised metal-organic frameworks and discover that 17O NMR is a powerful probe of CO2 capture chemistry that provides excellent differentiation of ammonium carbamate and carbamic acid species. The computational findings are supported by 17O NMR experiments on a series of CO2-loaded frameworks that clearly identify ammonium carbamate chain formation and provide evidence for a mixed carbamic acid – ammonium carbamate adsorption mode. We further find that carbamic acid formation is more prevalent in this materials class than previously believed. Finally, we show that our methods are readily applicable to other adsorbents, and find support for ammonium carbamate formation in amine-grafted silicas. Our work paves the way for investigations of carbon capture chemistry that can enable materials design.
