Published: July 2022

AbstractThe accuracy of the SZZ algorithm is pivotal for just-in-time defect prediction because most prior studies have used the SZZ algorithm to detect defect-inducing commits to construct and evaluate their defect prediction models. The SZZ algorithm has two phases to detect defect-inducing commits: (1) linking issue reports in an issue-tracking system to possible defect-fixing commits in a version control system by using an issue-link algorithm (ILA); and (2) tracing the modifications of defect-fixing commits back to possible defect-inducing commits. Researchers and practitioners can address the second phase by using existing solutions such as a tool called . In contrast, although various ILAs have been proposed for the first phase, no large-scale studies exist in which such ILAs are evaluated under the same experimental conditions. Hence, we still have no conclusions regarding the best-performing ILA for the first phase. In this paper, we compare 10 ILAs collected from our systematic literature study with regards to the accuracy of detecting defect-fixing commits. In addition, we compare the defect prediction performance of ILAs and their combinations that can detect defect-fixing commits accurately. We conducted experiments on five open-source software projects. We found that all ILAs and their combinations prevented the defect prediction model from being affected by missing defect-fixing commits. In particular, the combination of a natural language text similarity approach, Phantom heuristics, a random forest approach, and a support vector machine approach is the best way to statistically significantly reduced the absolute differences from the ground-truth defect prediction performance. We summarized the guidelines to use ILAs as our recommendations.

AbstractBilge waters are wastewaters produced on boats during navigation and usually contain hydrocarbons and oils. They cannot be directly released into the sea if not below a hydrocarbons concentration limit set by current legislation. Appropriate oil in water separator (OWS) systems can be installed on board boats to remove hydrocarbons from bilge water allowing their spillage into the sea. These systems may contain an adsorption step on a suitable adsorbent. Here, biochars produced from pyrolysis of dead Posidonia oceanica, pristine or chemically activated, have been tested as hydrocarbons adsorbents. Adsorption experiments with aqueous dispersions simulating bilge waters containing a marine gas oil (MGO) fuel for boats, a surfactant, and different NaCl concentrations were carrying out. The hydrocarbons concentrations before and after adsorption have been directly measured by using the reverse phase HPLC technique coupled with a fluorescence detector. These measurements are very fast and their reliability was verified by re-measuring the hydrocarbons concentrations of some samples with the GC–MS-MS technique, according to one of the traditional methods for hydrocarbons determination in emulsions. Different isotherm equations were used to fit the adsorption data. The biochars were characterized from the chemical-structural point of view by means of several instrumental techniques.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of vitamin D (Vit D) in averting the harmful effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Forty male Wistar rats were allotted into four groups: (1) the control, (2) Vit D, (3) streptozotocin (STZ), and (4) STZ + Vit D groups. Rats co-treated with Vit D had significantly (p < 0.05) decreased levels of cortisol; proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6); and malondialdehyde (MDA). Meanwhile, the levels of insulin significantly (p < 0.05) increased, whereas the activity of the antioxidant system, including glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), significantly (p < 0.05) decreased. Histopathological examination revealed the destruction of beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in rats with diabetes. Meanwhile, immunoexpression revealed an increase in the immunoreactivity of caspase-3 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase and a reduction in the immunoreactivity of insulin in rats with diabetes. In conclusion, Vit D ameliorated the harmful biochemical impact of diabetes mellitus, probably by increasing insulin secretion and sensitivity, ameliorating β-cell function, and decreasing cortisol levels; also, the anti-inflammatory effect of Vit D reduces the number of proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6) and increases the activity of the antioxidant system, such as GSH, SOD, TAC, and catalase while reducing lipid peroxidation enzymes (e.g., MDA).

Published: July 2022

AbstractThe present study aims to investigate the in vitro intestinal digestion fate of Pickering emulsions with complex dual particle interfaces. Pickering oil-in-water emulsions (PPM-E) stabilized by plant (pea) protein-based microgels (PPM), as well as PPM-E where the interface was additionally covered by cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), were designed at acidic pH (pH 3.0). The gastrointestinal fate of the PPM-E and free fatty acid (FFA) release, was tested via the INFOGEST static in vitro digestion model and data was fitted using theoretical models. Lipid digestion was also monitored using lipase alone bypassing the gastric phase to understand the impact of proteolysis on FFA release. Coalescence was observed in the PPM-stabilized emulsions in the gastric phase, but not in those co-stabilized by CNC. However, coalescence occurred during the intestinal digestion stage, irrespective of the CNC concentration added (1–3 wt % CNC). The presence of CNC lowered the lipolysis kinetics but raised the extent of FFA release as compared to in its absence (p < 0.05), due to lower levels of gastric coalescence, i.e., a higher interfacial area. The trends were similar when just lipase was added with no prior gastric phase, although the extent and rate of FFA release was reduced in all emulsions, highlighting the importance of prior proteolysis in lipolysis of such systems. In summary, an electrostatically self-assembled interfacial structure of two types of oppositely-charged particles (at gastric pH) might be a useful strategy to enable enhanced delivery of lipophilic compounds that require protection in the stomach but release in the intestines.
Person-environment fit and task performance: exploring the role(s) of grit as a personal resource

Abstract
The Job Demands-Resources Framework (JDR) has established job- and personal resources as essential elements motivating people to perform. Whilst the purpose of job resources in this motivational process is well established, the role of personal resources is still quite ambiguous. Within the JDR framework, personal resources could (a) directly affect performance, (b) indirectly affect the relationship between a job resource and a performance outcome and (c) moderate the job resource-performance relationship. Grit has recently emerged as a promising personal resource as it could potentially act as a direct antecedent-, mediator and moderator within the motivational process of the JDR. To further the debate on the role of personal resources, this paper explores the function of grit (as a personal resource) within the person-environment fit (job resource) and task performance relationship. Specifically, the aim is to determine if grit directly or indirectly affects the relationship between person-environment fit and task performance. Finally, it aims to investigate whether grit moderates this relationship. Data were collected from 310 working adults through electronic surveys, and the relationships were explored through structural equation modelling. When controlling for age and gender, the results showed a positive association between person-environment fit, grit and task performance. Further, grit was also found to indirectly affect the relationship between the person-environment fit and task performance. However, no moderating effect could be established. This signifies the importance of grit as a psychological process, rather than a buffering element that may explain how person-environment fit affects performance outcomes.

AbstractIron-deficiency anemia (IDA) associated with gastrointestinal diseases is the second most common etiology of IDA in Japan, and is most often caused by gastrointestinal bleeding. A multicenter, single-arm (2 groups), open-label, phase III study was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of ferric derisomaltose (FDI) when administered by intravenous (IV) bolus injection (n = 30) or drip infusion (n = 10) in Japanese patients with IDA associated with gastrointestinal diseases. The primary endpoint, which was the mean maximum change in hemoglobin (Hb) concentration from baseline, was 4.33 (95% confidence interval, 3.82–4.83) g/dL in the overall population (4.27 [3.83–4.71] g/dL in the bolus injection group and 4.49 [2.69–6.29] g/dL in the drip infusion group). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 24 patients (60.0%) in the overall population (18 patients [60.0%] in the bolus injection group and 6 patients [60.0%] in the drip infusion group). No serious treatment-related TEAEs or unexpected safety findings were reported during the study. These findings reveal a favorable efficacy and safety profile for FDI when administered by IV bolus injection or drip infusion in Japanese patients with IDA associated with gastrointestinal diseases.

Published: July 2022

AbstractPhotocatalytic water splitting and carbon dioxide photoreduction are considered effective strategies for alleviating the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Polynuclear metal-oxo clusters possess excellent electron storage/release ability and unique catalytic properties via intermetallic synergy, which enables them with great potential in environmentally friendly photosynthesis. Importantly, metal-oxo clusters with precise structure can not only act as high-efficiency catalysts but also provide well-defined structural models for exploring structure–activity relationships. In this review, we systematically summarize recent progress in the catalytic application of polynuclear metal-oxo clusters, including polyoxometalate clusters, low-cost transition metal clusters, and metal-oxo-cluster-based metal–organic frameworks for water splitting and CO2reduction. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and solutions to the problems of polynuclear metal-oxo clusters in photocatalysis.
Exploring interdependent privacy – Empirical insights into users’ protection of others’ privacy on online platforms
Authors: Franz Anjuli , Benlian Alexander 
Published: July 2022

AbstractRecent information privacy research has started to spark a debate about privacy infringements that happen not on an individual, but on a multi-party level. Here, a person’s own information privacy is affected by the decisions of others – a phenomenon referred to as interdependent privacy. Building on the 3R Interdependent Privacy Protection Framework, we explore the underlying mechanisms of how and why interdependent privacy violations happen and how they can be remedied. Drawing on an online vignette experiment (N = 330), we investigate the efficacy of an interdependent privacy salience nudge and reveal that it can decrease the likelihood that users disclose others’ personal information by 62%. Furthermore, we develop a novel measurement instrument and empirically validate that users’ decision to disclose others’ personal information to an online platform is formed via a serial mediation mechanism through users’ realization of the data transfer, recognition of others’ ownership, and respect for others’ rights. We discuss important implications for both theory and practice.

Abstract
Background
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based intervention for severe fatigue. Changes in patients’ fatigue scores following CBT might reflect not only the intended relief in fatigue but also response shift, a change in the meaning of patients’ self-evaluation. Objectives were to (1) identify the occurrence of response shift in patients undergoing CBT, (2) determine the impact of response shift on the intervention effect, and (3) investigate whether changes in fatigue-related cognitions and perceptions, targeted during CBT, are associated with response shift.

Methods
Data of three randomized controlled trials testing the efficacy of CBT in individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, n = 222), cancer (n = 123), and diabetes (n = 107) were re-analyzed. Fatigue severity was measured with 8 items from the Checklist Individual Strength, a valid and widely used self-report questionnaire. Structural equation modelling was applied to assess lack of longitudinal measurement invariance, as indication of response shift.

Results
As expected, in all three trials, response shift was indicated in the CBT groups, not the control groups. Response shift through reprioritization was indicated for the items “Physically, I feel exhausted” (CFS) and “I tire easily” (cancer, diabetes), which became less vs. more important to the measurement of fatigue, respectively. However, this did not affect the intervention effects. Some changes in cognitions and perceptions were associated with the response shifts.

Conclusions
CBT seems to induce response shift through reprioritization across patient groups, but its occurrence does not affect the intervention effect. Future research should corroborate these findings and investigate whether patients indeed change their understanding of fatigue.

Abstract
Pharmacists have a critical consulting role in patients undergoing oral antineoplastic drug therapy to ensure harm minimisation. Studies exploring the benefits of pharmacists in this role are limited. This study evaluated patient perceptions, experiences and overall satisfaction with clinical pharmacist consultations in patients treated with oral antineoplastic drugs. Data on 160 patients initiated on oral antineoplastic drugs between January 2019 and February 2021 were collected retrospectively from an outpatient Comprehensive Cancer Centre of a quaternary hospital in Western Australia (demographics, cancer type, oral antineoplastic drugs prescribed). In addition, patients were mailed a hard copy questionnaire in March 2021 to assess their satisfaction with pharmacist consultations in the pharmacist clinic, using a 5-point Likert scale. The statements included perceptions of the patient’s understanding, medication adherence, experiences and overall satisfaction with the clinical pharmacist consultation. There were 76 (47.5%) completed questionnaires returned (52.6% female; average age was 63.2 ± 13.9 years). The majority of patients were satisfied with the service offered by the clinical pharmacist (73/76; 96.1%), perceived that clinical pharmacists provided an important service in outpatient cancer care (71/76; 93.4%) and improved their understanding of the use of oral antineoplastic drugs and side-effect management (48/74; 64.9%). Patients’ perceived understanding of their medication regimen and additional health services available improved after pharmacist counselling. The patients also reported overall satisfaction with the service provided by the clinical pharmacist and found it beneficial to their care. The study supports the expanding role of the clinical pharmacist in an outpatient cancer centre.
Efficient Discretization of Movement Kernels for Spatiotemporal Capture–Recapture
Authors: Efford M. G. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractSpatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR) models treat detection probability as a function of the distance between each animal and its notional activity centre. Open-population variants of these models (open SECR) are increasingly used to estimate the vital rates (survival and recruitment) of spatial populations subject to turnover between sampling times. If activity centres also move between sampling times then modelling the movement can reduce bias in estimates of vital rates. The usual movement model in open SECR is a random walk with step length governed by a probability kernel. Space is discretized in open SECR for computational convenience, and in some implementations this includes truncation of the probability kernel. Computations for the movement submodel are nevertheless very time-consuming owing to the repeated convolution steps and the need to manage boundary effects. A novel ‘sparse’ discretized kernel is proposed that greatly reduces fitting time. The sparse kernel was tested by simulation and applied to two datasets. Differences between models fitted using the sparse and full kernels were minor and unlikely to matter in practice. The sparse kernel extends the practical limits of the movement modelling in open SECR to greater dispersal distances and greater spatial resolution.

Transparency as Manipulation? Uncovering the Disciplinary Power of Algorithmic Transparency
Authors: Wang Hao 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAutomated algorithms are silently making crucial decisions about our lives, but most of the time we have little understanding of how they work. To counter this hidden influence, there have been increasing calls for algorithmic transparency. Much ink has been spilled over the informational account of algorithmic transparency—about how much information should be revealed about the inner workings of an algorithm. But few studies question the power structure beneath the informational disclosure of the algorithm. As a result, the information disclosure itself can be a means of manipulation used by a group of people to advance their own interests. Instead of concentrating on information disclosure, this paper examines algorithmic transparency from the perspective of power, explaining how algorithmic transparency under a disciplinary power structure can be a technique of normalizing people’s behavior. The informational disclosure of an algorithm can not only set up some de facto norms, but also build a scientific narrative of its algorithm to justify those norms. In doing so, people would be internally motivated to follow those norms with less critical analysis. This article suggests that we should not simply open the black box of an algorithm without challenging the existing power relations.
Estimating the density of small mammals using the selfie trap is an effective camera trapping method

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Camera trapping to study wildlife allows for data collection, without the need to capture animals. Traditionally, camera traps have been used to target larger terrestrial mammal species, though recently novel methods and adjustments in procedures have meant camera traps can be used to study small mammals. The selfie trap (a camera trapping method) may present robust sampling and ecological study of small mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the selfie trap method in terms of its ability to detect species and estimate population density. To address this aim, standard small mammal live trapping was undertaken, immediately followed by camera trapping using the selfie trap. Both methods were set to target the arboreal sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) and semi-arboreal brown antechinus (Antechinus stuartii). The more ground-dwelling bush rat (Rattus fuscipes) was also live trapped and recorded on camera. Across four survey areas, the probability of detection for each of the three species was higher for selfie traps than for live trapping. Spatially explicit capture-recapture models showed that selfie traps were superior at estimating density for brown antechinus and sugar gliders, when compared to simulated live trapping data. Hit rates (number of videos per various time intervals) were correlated with abundance. When correlating various hit rate intervals with abundance, the use of 10-min hit rate was best for predicting sugar glider abundance (R2 = 0.94). The abundance of brown antechinus was estimated from selfie traps using a 24-h hit rate as a predictor (R2 = 0.85). For sugar gliders, the selfie trap can replace live trapping as individuals can be identified through their unique facial stripes and natural ear scars, and thus used in capture-recapture analysis. This method may be useful for monitoring the abundance of other small mammal species that can also be individually recognized from photographs.

AbstractSoil-derived fungi represent an insufficiently tapped reservoir for discovering new and bioactive natural products (NPs), and despite an ever-increasing number of unknown NPs have been discovered over the past few decades, much of the hidden biosynthetic potential is still in an urgent need to be disclosed. In this research, a chemical investigation was performed on a wetland soil-derived fungus Aspergilluscalidoustus TJ403-EL05, leading to the isolation of a total of fourteen drimane sesquiterpenoids (1–14), incorporating three new ones, namely ustusols F–H (1–3). Their structures, comprising absolute configurations, were completely authenticated by widespread spectroscopic data, quantum chemical 13C NMR and ECD calculations, and X-ray crystallography experiments. Compound 14 exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the LPS-induced NO release (IC50 = 25.6 μM).
