Published: March 2022

AbstractSeagrasses have some of the highest rates of carbon burial on the planet and have therefore been highlighted as ecosystems for nature-based climate change mitigation. However, information is still needed on the net radiative forcing benefit of seagrasses inclusive of their associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Here, we report simultaneous estimates of seagrass-associated carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) air–water emissions. Applying in situ sampling within a south-east Australian seagrass ecosystem, this study finds atmospheric GHG emissions from waters above seagrasses to range from − 480 ± 15.96 to − 16.2 ± 8.32 mg CO2-equivalents m2 d−1 (net uptake), with large temporal and spatial variability. Using a combination of gas specific mass balance equations, dissolved stable carbon isotope values (δ13C) and in situ time-series data, CO2-e flux is estimated at − 21.74 mg m2 d−1. We find that the net release of CH4 (0.44 µmol m2 h−1) and net uptake of N2O (− 0.06 µmol m2 h−1) effectively negated each other at 16.12 and − 16.13 mg CO2-e m2 d−1, respectively. The results of this study indicate that temperate Australian seagrasses may function as net sinks of atmospheric CO2-e. These results contribute towards filling key emission accounting gaps both in the Australian region, and through the simultaneous measurement of the three key greenhouse gas species.

AbstractThe Listriodontinae were a common and widespread group of Suidae (pigs) that lived in an area extending from Portugal to China and to southern Africa. Here, we describe the new speciesListriodon dukkarfrom Pasuda (Gujarat, India). It shares features withLi. pentapotamiae,evolved from it, and is the last representative of this lineage. The Listriodontinae flourished for about 10 million years, reached their maximum diversity and geographic extension during the Mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum (about 17–13.6 Ma), and their last records are close in age and date to ~ 9.8 Ma in the Indian Subcontinent, 9.78 Ma in Europe, and ~ 10 Ma in Africa. We review the environments in which the last listriodont lineages lived and went extinct. Their extinctions occurred against a background of increasing seasonality, vegetation change, a rise in bovid diversity and abundance, and local events, such as the European Vallesian Crisis and a dramatic drop in tragulid abundance in the Siwaliks. However, changes in the atmospheric pCO2may have contributed to their decline and extinction in all their geographic distribution. Decreasing pCO2is expected to have decreased sugar content and increased protein content of leaves and fruit. Hindgut fermenting Suoidea have higher protein requirements, while foregut fermenting Suoidea are more efficient in digesting sugars. Listriodontinae were probably foregut fermenters and were less well adapted in a low pCO2world.
Urban geology from a GIS-based geotechnical system: a case study in a medium-sized city (Oviedo, NW Spain)

Published: March 2022

AbstractThis paper describes the development of a GIS-based geotechnical system designed to face challenges on urban geology in a Spanish mid-sized city. Its multipurpose nature is based on a relational database that holds a wide variety of georeferenced ground data, mostly extracted from geotechnical reports or acquired during fieldwork. At present it includes, among other unpublished information, more than 2000 site investigations and the results from 5000 tests carried out on rock, soil and groundwater samples. This desk tool provides a better understanding of the bedrock and superficial geology through the spatial analysis of the collected subsurface data. The main achievements include the classification and mapping of man-made grounds, fluvial sediments and residual soils; the identification of unreported faults; the review and detailed study of geotechnical parameters and properties of the rocks and soils; and the hydrogeological characterization of the permeable units. It also provided the surface geological mapping of the urban area; the development of a geo-engineering map based on lithological, geotechnical and construction criteria; and the creation of a preliminary 3D layer-based ground model of the city centre, where the subsurface contains stone used for heritage buildings listed by UNESCO.

Abstract
Background
Gold-standard psychological and pharmacological treatments for bulimic-spectrum eating disorders only result in remission for around 50% of patients; patients with affective lability and impulsivity represent a subgroup with particularly poor outcomes. Both dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a treatment for emotion dysregulation, and lamotrigine, a mood stabilizer, have demonstrated promise for targeting affective lability and impulsivity; however, data exploring the combination of these interventions remain limited.

Objective
We followed a group of women with recurrent dysregulated eating behaviors (N = 62) throughout intensive DBT treatment and compared the symptom trajectory of those prescribed lamotrigine (n = 28) and those who were not (n = 34).

Method
Participants completed surveys every 2 weeks throughout treatment.

Results
Group analyses suggested that all participants self-reported decreases in emotional reactivity, negative urgency, and symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD). The lamotrigine group reported greater elevations in BPD symptoms at baseline, but demonstrated steeper decreases in emotion and behavioral dysregulation than the non-matched comparison group. Within-subject analyses suggested that within the lamotrigine group, subjects reported greater decreases in symptoms following prescription of lamotrigine.

Conclusions
Findings provide initial data suggesting that lamotrigine could be useful as an adjunctive treatment for patients with affective lability and impulsivity.

Level of evidence
IV, time series without randomization.
Ernährung in der Schwangerschaft: Makronährstoffe
Authors: Zauner Christian 
Published: March 2022

ZusammenfassungEine Frau erfährt durch eine Schwangerschaft diverse physiologische und metabolische Veränderungen, um den Fetus zu ernähren und sich selbst auf die Geburt vorzubereiten. Dafür müssen ausreichend Energie und Nährstoffe bereitgestellt werden, wofür eine gesunde und ausgewogene Ernährung der werdenden Mutter beste Voraussetzungen schafft. Der zusätzliche Energiebedarf während einer Schwangerschaft wird jedoch von vielen überschätzt. Dieser steigt erst im zweiten Trimenon um etwa 250 Kilokalorien (kcal)/Tag (d) und im dritten Trimenon um weitere 250 kcal/Tag an. Eine überhöhte Energiezufuhr bedingt eine positive Energiebilanz, die eine überdurchschnittliche Gewichtszunahme mit damit verbundenen Risiken und Komplikationen nach sich ziehen kann. Die Ernährungsempfehlungen für Schwangere orientieren sich an den allgemeinen Empfehlungen für Erwachsene, wobei kalorienfreie Getränke und pflanzliche Nahrungsmittel reichlich und tierische Lebensmittel dagegen mäßig konsumiert werden sollten. Auch auf eine ausreichende Zufuhr von Ballaststoffen sollte geachtet werden. Sehr sparsam sollten Süßigkeiten, zuckerhaltige Getränke, verarbeitete Snacks und Nahrungsmittel mit einem hohen Anteil an gesättigten Fettsäuren gegessen werden. Der Bedarf an Kohlenhydraten ändert sich durch eine Schwangerschaft grundsätzlich nicht. Ihr Anteil sollte bei etwa 50–55 % der täglichen Energiezufuhr liegen, wobei die Aufnahme von freiem Zucker limitiert werden sollte. Der Anteil der Fette sollte etwa 30 % einnehmen, wobei eine ausreichende Zufuhr von ungesättigten bzw. essenziellen Fettsäuren zu gewährleisten ist. Ansonsten sind fetale Entwicklungsstörungen und das Auftreten von Schwangerschaftskomplikationen möglich. Eine Supplementierung von ω‑3-Fettsäuren ist in Einzelfällen in Erwägung zu ziehen, jedoch nicht generell zu empfehlen. Der Proteinbedarf steigt während der Schwangerschaft ab dem 4. Schwangerschaftsmonat an. Es wurde für das zweite Trimenon ein Anstieg von 15 % und für das dritte Trimenon ein Anstieg von 25 % beschrieben. Die Proteinzufuhr sollte jedoch auf einem moderaten Niveau bleiben und 25 % der gesamten täglichen Energiezufuhr nicht übersteigen. Eine mit Bedacht ausgewählte, ausgewogene und nährstoffreiche Ernährung bereits vor und auch während der Schwangerschaft kann den Verlauf und die fetale Entwicklung positiv beeinflussen. Darüber hinaus können dadurch die Gesundheit, das Wohlbefinden der werdenden Mutter sowie die Entwicklung des Kindes bis ins Erwachsenenalter gefördert werden.

Abstract
Stimulating brain tissue regeneration is a major challenge after central nervous system (CNS) injury, such as those observed from trauma or cerebrovascular accidents. Full regeneration is difficult even when a neurogenesis-associated repair response may occur. Currently, there are no effective treatments to stimulate brain tissue regeneration. However, biomaterial scaffolds are showing promising results, where hydrogels are the materials of choice to develop these supportive scaffolds for cell carriers. Their combination with growth factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), together with other cell therapy strategies allows the prevention of further neuronal death and can potentially lead to the direct stimulation of neurogenesis and vascularisation at the injured site. Imaging of the injured site is particularly critical to study the reestablishment of neural cell functionality after brain tissue injury. This review outlines the latest key advances associated with different strategies aiming to promote the neuroregeneration, imaging, and functional recovery of brain tissue.

Impact of assimilating Formosat-7/COSMIC-II GNSS radio occultation data on heavy rainfall prediction in Taiwan
Authors: Chang Chih-Chien , Yang Shu-Chih 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis study investigates the impact of assimilating Formosat-7/COSMIC-II (FS7/C2) radio occultation (RO) refractivity data on predicting the heavy rainfall event that occurred in Taiwan on August 13, 2019. This event was characterized by heavy rainfall over the coastal region of central and southwestern Taiwan. Our investigation is performed using the Weather Research and Forecasting-Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter. Generally, assimilating the RO data increases the amount of moisture over the northern South China Sea (SCS) and the Pearl River area in southern China. It was expected that assimilating the RO data would improve low-level moisture analysis, given that more RO data are available for the lower atmosphere compared to those from Formosat-3/COSMIC-I. However, our results show that the experiment that does not include the RO data below 3 km facilitates better rainfall prediction over Taiwan in terms of the intensity and location of heavy rainfall. This heavy rainfall event can be attributed to moisture transport from the Pearl River area, where the RO data at the altitude of 3–5 km provide effective moisture enhancement to deepen the high-moisture layer. The experiment using the local spectral width (LSW) to conduct the quality control (QC) also helps improve rainfall prediction. However, such an LSW-based QC procedure tends to reject significant amounts of RO data 3 km above the land. Based on this case study, our results show that the QC procedure brings a larger impact to rainfall prediction than counterparts that adjust the observation error variance. A sophisticated QC procedure should be developed to optimize the impact of low-level RO data.
A Planning Theory of Acting Together
Authors: BRATMAN MICHAEL E. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractWe have the capacity to act together in shared intentional and shared cooperative ways. This lecture argues that our capacity for the plan-based, mind-supported cross-temporal organization of our individual activities, together with certain further elements, suffices for our capacity for the mind-supported, small-scale social organization characteristic of acting together. These two fundamental forms of human practical organization––diachronic and small-scale social––are for us grounded in a common core: our capacity for planning agency.

Abstract
External urinary collection devices (ECDs) are increasingly used in female patients, however, their impact on bacteriuria and antimicrobial use is unclear. Comparing the periods before and after the implementation of an ECD use policy, we found an overall decrease in bacteriuria but no significant decrease in trend of monthly rates. Antimicrobial use for genitourinary indications did not change.
The influence of managerial attributions on corporate entrepreneurship
Authors: Jayamohan Parvathi , Moss Todd , McKelvie Alexander , Hyman Michael 
Published: March 2022

AbstractWe use attribution theory to show that firms that make more internal attributions to positive performance outcomes engage slack resources more freely for corporate entrepreneurship (CE) than firms that make fewer of such attributions. In addition, we show that the way in which companies make external attributions to performance outcomes moderates this relationship. To examine this empirically, we explore how top management teams discuss the factors that contribute to firm performance. Specifically, we look at attributions provided in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the annual reports of 144 pharmaceutical firms over a 2-year period. In line with our predictions, we find that greater internal attribution to positive performance outcomes leads to increased use of slack resources for CE. Furthermore, we find that this effect is stronger when firms make more external attributions to negative performance outcomes than positive performance outcomes.

Abstract
Dietary starch contains rapidly (RAG) and slowly available glucose (SAG). To establish the relationships between the RAG:SAG ratio and postprandial glucose, insulin and hunger, we measured postprandial responses elicited by test meals varying in the RAG:SAG ratio in n 160 healthy adults, each of whom participated in one of four randomised cross-over studies (n 40 each): a pilot trial comparing six chews (RAG:SAG ratio 2·4–42·7) and three studies comparing a test granola (TG1-3, RAG:SAG ratio 4·5–5·2) with a control granola (CG1–3, RAG:SAG ratio 54·8–69·3). Within studies, test meals were matched for fat, protein and available carbohydrate. Blood glucose, serum insulin and subjective hunger were measured for 3 h. Data were subjected to repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). The relationships between the RAG:SAG ratio and postprandial end points were determined by regression analysis. In the pilot trial, 0–2 h glucose incremental areas under the curve (iAUC0–2; primary end point) varied across the six chews (P = 0·014) with each 50 % reduction in the RAG:SAG ratio reducing relative glucose response by 4·0 %. TGs1-3 elicited significantly lower glucose iAUC0–2 than CGs1–3 by 17, 18 and 17 %, respectively (similar to the 15 % reduction predicted by the pilot trial). The combined means ± sem (n 120) for TC and CG were glucose iAUC0–2, 98 ± 4 v. 118 ± 4 mmol × min/l (P < 0·001), and insulin iAUC0–2, 153 ± 9 v. 184 ± 11 nmol × h/l (P < 0·001), respectively. Neither postprandial hunger nor glucose or hunger increments 2 h after eating differed significantly between TG and CG. We concluded that TGs with RAG:SAG ratios <5·5 predictably reduced glycaemic and insulinaemic responses compared with CGs with RAG:SAG ratios >54. However, compared with CG, TG did not reduce postprandial hunger or delay the return of glucose or hunger to baseline.

AbstractThe spatio-temporal variation of leaf chlorophyll content is an important crop phenotypic trait that is of great significance for evaluating crop productivity. This study used a soil-plant analysis development (SPAD) chlorophyll meter for non-destructive monitoring of leaf chlorophyll dynamics to characterize the patterns of spatio-temporal variation in the nutritional status of maize (Zea maysL.) leaves under three nitrogen treatments in two cultivars. The results showed that nitrogen levels could affect the maximum leaf SPAD reading (SPADmax) and the duration of high SPAD reading. A rational model was used to measure the changes in SPAD readings over time in single leaves. This model was suitable for predicting the dynamics of the nutrient status for each leaf position under different nitrogen treatments, and model parameter values were position dependent.SPADmaxat each leaf decreased with the reduction of nitrogen supply. Leaves at different positions in both cultivars responded differently to higher nitrogen rates. Lower leaves (8th–10th positions) were more sensitive than the other leaves in response to nitrogen. Monitoring the SPAD reading dynamic of lower leaves could accurately characterize and assess the nitrogen supply in plants. The lower leaves in nitrogen-deficient plants had a shorter duration of high SPAD readings compared to nitrogen-sufficient plants; this physiological mechanism should be studied further. In summary, the spatio-temporal variation of plant nitrogen status in maize was analysed to determine critical leaf positions for potentially assisting in the identification of appropriate agronomic management practices, such as the adjustment of nitrogen rates in late fertilization.
Self-, other-, and dual-harm during adolescence: a prospective-longitudinal study of childhood risk factors and early adult correlates

Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundLittle is known about the childhood antecedents and adult correlates of adolescent dual-harm (i.e. co-occurring self- and other-harm). We examine the longitudinal associations between (a) social and psychological risk factors in childhood and adolescent dual-harm and (b) adolescent dual-harm and social and mental health impairments in early adulthood.MethodsParticipants (N = 1482) are from a prospective longitudinal community-representative study. Dual-, self-, and other-harm were self-reported at ages 13, 15, and 17. Social and psychological risk factors in childhood were assessed between 7 and 11; early adult correlates at age 20. Groups with dual-harm, self-harm only, other-harm only, and no harm were compared.ResultsBetween 13 and 17, 7.2% of adolescents reported dual-harm (self-harm only: 16.2%; other-harm only: 13.3%). Some childhood risk factors (e.g. sensation-seeking, parental divorce, victimization by peers) characterized all harm groups; others were common to the dual- and self-harm (anxiety/depressive symptoms, relational aggression) or dual- and other-harm groups only (low self-control, substance use, delinquency). Adolescents with dual-harm had reported more physical aggression and harsh parenting, and lower school bonding in childhood than any other group. In early adulthood, they reported more anxiety/depressive symptoms, psychopathy symptoms, homicidal ideations, delinquency, and victimization experiences than any other group.ConclusionsAdolescent dual-harm follows psychological problems and social disconnection in childhood and signals risk of psychopathology and isolation in early adulthood. To curb the burden from dual-harm, interventions must target adolescents, families, peer networks, and school environments. Differentiating youth with dual-harm from those with single-harm is important for developing personalized treatments.
Institutions in the politics of policy change: who can play, how they play in multiple streams
Authors: Bolukbasi H. Tolga , Yıldırım Deniz 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis article explores the politics of policy change by focusing on agenda setting through the lens of the Multiple Streams Approach (MSA), which has been travelling to ever-larger geographies. We aim to produce signposts for future case studies of policy change by bringing together insights from MSA and New Institutionalism. We ask: Which institutions should we focus on when studying agenda-setting politics in different geographies? How do these institutions shape MSA’s structural elements – problem stream, policy stream, political stream, policy windows, and policy entrepreneur? In answering these questions, we hope to weave not only formal but also informal institutions into MSA’s backbone more tightly. We bring together diverse case studies that are sufficiently abstract and whose findings travel easily across other institutional contexts. We revisit the structural elements of MSA and illustrate how key formal and informal rules structure the politics in these structural elements.
