Designing for resistance: epistemic justice, learning design, and open educational practices
Authors: D. Wallis Peter , Rocha Tomas 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
To encourage more just open educational practices, the purpose of this paper is to describe Jose Medina’s theory of epistemic justice and develop a framework applying this conception of epistemic justice to OEP through learning design. The authors hope this framework will help researchers and practitioners develop more equitable learning experiences in open educational contexts.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is conceptual and design-oriented. This paper seeks to draw relationships between José Medina’s work in The Epistemology of Resistance, recent empirical studies in learning design and OEP. By analyzing relationships between these works, this paper lays out design principles that can empower educators seeking to create equitable open learning experiences.

Findings
This paper finds several generative intersections between the social justice centered epistemology presented by Medina, empirical learning design studies and OEP. This study finds that structured learning designs which integrate well-researched principles may provide guidance for further practice and research in ways not generally discussed in open education literature. This paper builds on these findings by describing practical ways these intersections can be implemented in OEP.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first theoretical analysis of the relationship between epistemic justice and OEP.
Conceptualizing nation branding: the systematic literature review
Authors: Rojas-Méndez José I. , Khoshnevis Mozhde 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to provide an integrated model of nation branding, propose a comprehensive definition of this concept and differentiate between nation branding and other related constructs.

Design/methodology/approach
To analyze nation branding academic literature, this paper used a systematic literature review approach to investigate academic studies related to nation and country branding. All relevant studies on the nation and country branding between 1996 and mid-2021 were extracted from six selected databases, including Elsevier’s Science Direct, Emerald, Sage, Wiley, Springer and Jstor, by using a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis process. The reviewed papers were coded and analyzed to extract themes and concepts.

Findings
The results of this paper show that nation branding is influenced by six main factors, namely, business and marketing, political, social and cultural, economic and labor, international and environmental factors; it comprises one key component, that is, nation branding; it results in five major consequences, including social, economic and financial, business, international and political consequences, and is moderated mainly by socio-demographic variables. Additional contributions of this paper are the proposal of a comprehensive definition of nation branding based on the extant literature and identifying nation branding differences with other constructs that sometimes have been previously used interchangeably with nation branding. This paper concludes with suggestions for future research in the field.

Originality/value
This paper uses the themes and concepts uncovered by the analysis to conceptualize nation branding, provides an integrated model of nation branding and distinguishes it from other related branding concepts. This paper also summarizes what nation branding is versus what it is not.
Audit fee premium for national and local level of industry expertise in Italy
Authors: Mazza Tatiana , Azzali Stefano , Simonov Andrey 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine whether national industry expertise in Italy is more dominant than local expertise. Prior studies from Australia, USA and UK show that audit fees for industry experts are priced at a higher premium at the local level than the national level. These countries have voluntary audit firm rotation, while Italy has mandatory audit firm rotation (MAFR). The authors predict that Italy has a stronger national than local level of industry expertise, to better retain and transfer industry expertise.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors compare audit fee premiums of national industry experts to local levels, using quantitative (multivariate tests) and qualitative (interviews) methodology.

Findings
Using hand-collected audit fees, the authors find that the audit fee premium for industry expertise is greater at the national level than the local level. The authors find corroborating results with audit hours. To provide further support, the authors conduct analysis for a neighboring country that does not have audit firm rotation. Using hand-collected data from Germany, the authors find that audit fee premiums from national industry expertise are no different from local industry expertise.

Originality/value
The present study study has theoretical and practical implications, for European Union countries, which recently adopted MAFR and for countries considering adoption in the future.
UV-Vis spectroscopic investigation on color change kinetics of lac dye as influenced by some food spoilage metabolites: validation for milk quality monitoring
Authors: Sakare Priyanka , Giri Saroj Kumar , Mohapatra Debabandya , Tripathi Manoj Kr 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to study the color change kinetics of lac dye in response to pH and food spoilage metabolites (ammonia, lactic acid and tyramine) for its potential application in intelligent food packaging.

Design/methodology/approach
UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to study the color change of dye solution. Ratio of absorbance of dye solution at 528 nm (peak of ionized form) to absorbance at 488 nm (peak of unionized form) was used to study the color change. Color change kinetics was studied in terms of change in absorbance ratio (A528/A488) with time using zero- and first-order reaction kinetics. An indicator was prepared by incorporating lac dye in agarose membrane to validate the result of study for monitoring quality of raw milk.

Findings
Dye was orange-red in acidic medium (pH: 2 to 5) and exhibited absorbance peak at 488 nm. It turned purple in alkaline medium (pH: 7 to10) and exhibited absorbance peak at 528 nm. The change in absorbance ratio with pH followed zero-order model. Acid dissociation constant (pKa) of dye was found to be 6.3. Color change of dye in response to ammonia and tyramine followed zero-order reaction kinetics, whereas for lactic acid, the first-order model was found best. In the validation part, the color of the indicator label changed from purple to orange-red when the milk gets spoiled.

Originality/value
The study opens a new application area for lac dye. The results suggest that lac dye has potential to be used as an indicator in intelligent food packaging for detection of spoilage in seafood, meat, poultry and milk.
The state of information infrastructure for global climate governance
Authors: Engvall Tove Sofia , Flak Leif Skiftenes 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
The world is facing global challenges that require international collaboration. This study aims to describe and analyze how digital technologies are applied in global governance to respond to such critical challenges.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors apply an interpretive case study of climate reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a case of digitalization in global governance. It includes interviews with officials in the Swedish public administration and the UNFCCC secretariat to cover national and international levels. The authors describe the reporting process and analyze the role of information systems through the lens of information infrastructures.

Findings
“Information infrastructure” is a valuable instrument to understand digitalization in global governance as a complex interplay between information systems, information, standards, organizations, people and social structures. The level of sophistication is, however, basic with a large potential for improvement – for instance in analytical and communicative services to support evidence-based decision-making and assessment of progress.

Research limitations/implications
The data collection is limited to one governance process: reporting. Future studies should complement the findings by broadening the scope to other processes. The authors propose that digital global governance is dependent on an effective information infrastructure, and that the five design principles by Hanseth and Lyytinen (2016) offer guidance when developing this.

Practical implications
The results indicate a large unutilized potential of digital technologies to improve progress assessment, communicate more effectively with stakeholders and identify new ways of visualizing data to support decision making in global climate policy.

Social implications
Use of digital technologies, as suggested in the article, could strengthen the implementation capability of climate goals, which is of urgent need.

Originality/value
While most research in digital governance considers the national or municipal level, this study provides empirical insight and theorization of digital technologies in a global governance setting.
Phenotypic plasticity contributes more to the variations in nutrient resorption than genetic differentiation in a grassland dominant
Authors: Zhang Zuxin , Zheng Jing , Guang Yingjie , Chen Lijun , Luo Xinping , Chen Dali , Hu Xiaowen 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

Phenotypic plasticity and genetic differentiation are the two important processes determining the leaf nutrient resorption among and within plant species, which is critical for understanding the adaptability of plants. However, relative contributions of these two processes have never been quantified at a large geographical scale.

Here, we investigated intraspecific variations in nutrient resorption among 14 Stipa breviflora populations along a latitude gradient in 2018 and 2019. Furthermore, we sow seeds from these populations in two common gardens at different latitudes and examined the variations in nutrient resorption.

Our results showed that nitrogen and phosphorus resorption efficiency (NRE and PRE) among S. breviflora populations in nature were positively related to latitude, while this trend disappeared in the common gardens. The heritability of NRE and PRE was 11.45% and 16.78%, respectively. These results suggested that phenotypic plasticity contributed much more than genetic variation to nutrient resorption of S. breviflora. Moreover, the structural equation modelling (SEM) suggested that latitude indirectly affected nutrient resorption mainly by altering soil nutrients. With the increasing of latitude, soil nutrients decreased while nutrient resorption increased. This phenomenon indicated that the main process regulating nutrient resorption is negative feedback to soil nutrient availability.

Our study provides new insights into the role of nutrient resorption in plant adaptations to geographic variations.

Microseismic wavefield propagation in a fracture‐induced anisotropic medium based on a general dislocation source model
Authors: Yao Yi , Wang Yibo , Kong Liyun 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe propagation of microseismicity in subsurface media is complex. We developed an anisotropic petrophysical model based on an empirical formula, linear slip theory and the bond transform method considering real underground conditions. Using Biot's equations, the seismic response to a general dislocation source in fracture‐induced anisotropic two‐phased media was solved using a staggered grid high‐order finite‐difference algorithm. To understand the relationship between the microseismic wave and fracture parameters, we then designed several different models to calculate the wavefield snapshots and analyse the effect of the fracture volume ratio and orientation. The modelling results indicate that the shear faulting source generates three types of waves in two‐phase media. Fractures can render homogeneous media anisotropic, and anisotropy becomes more noticeable with an increase in the fracture volume ratio. This decreases the velocity of the fast longitudinal and transverse waves in the vertical direction and increases the velocity of the slow longitudinal wave in a certain range. The fracture orientation mainly influences the moment tensor and then affects the wavefronts. These simulations lay the foundation for further studies on microseismic wave propagation in fracture‐induced anisotropic media.
Source and receiver deghosting by demigration‐based supervised learning
Authors: de Jonge Thomas , Vinje Vetle , Zhao Peng , Poole Gordon , Iversen Einar 
Published: July 2022

AbstractDeghosting of marine seismic data is an important and challenging step in the seismic processing flow. We describe a novel approach to train a supervised convolutional neural network to perform joint source and receiver deghosting of single‐component (hydrophone) data. The training dataset is generated by demigration of stacked depth migrated images into shot gathers with and without ghosts using the actual source and receiver locations from a real survey. To create demigrated data with ghosts, we need an estimate of the depth of the sources and receivers and the reflectivity of the sea surface. In the training process, we systematically perturbed these parameters to create variability in the ghost timing and amplitude and show that this makes the convolutional neural network more robust to variability in source/receiver depth, swells and sea surface reflectivity. We tested the new method on the Marmousi synthetic data and real North Sea field data and show that, in some respects, it performs better than a standard deterministic deghosting method based on least‐squares inversion in the τ‐p domain. On the synthetic data, we also demonstrate the robustness of the new method to variations in swells and sea‐surface reflectivity.
What does not kill you can make you stronger: Variation in plasticity in response to early temporally heterogeneous hydrological experience
Authors: Wang Shu , Callaway Ragan M. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractTemporally heterogeneous environments may drive rapid and continuous plastic responses, leading to highly variable plasticity in traits. However, direct experimental evidence for such meta‐plasticity due to environmental heterogeneity is rare.Our objective was to investigate the effects of early experience with temporally heterogeneous water availability on the subsequent plasticity of plant species in response to water conditions.We subjected eight plant species from three habitats, four exotic and four native to North America, to initial exposure to either a first round of alternating drought and inundation treatment (Ehet, temporally heterogeneous experience) or a consistently moderate water supply (Ehom, homogeneous experience), and to a second round of drought, moderate watering or inundation treatments. Afterwards the performance in a series of traits of these species, after the first and second rounds of treatments, was measured.Compared withEhom,Ehetincreased final mean total mass of all species considered together but did not affect mean mortality.Ehetrelative toEhom, decreased the initial total mass of native species as a group, but increased the mass of exotic species or species from hydric habitats;Ehetalso increased the late growth of natives, but did not for exotics, and increased the late growth of mesic species more than xeric and hydric species.Our results suggest that previous exposure to temporal heterogeneity in water supply may be not beneficial immediately, but can be beneficial for plant growth and response to water stress later in a plant's lifetime. Heterogeneous experiences may not necessarily enhance the degree of plasticity but may improve the expression of plasticity in terms of better performance later, effects of which differ for different groups of species, suggesting species‐specific strategies for dealing with fluctuating abiotic environments.Synthesis. Previous temporally heterogeneous experience can benefits plant growth later in life though modulating the expression of plasticity, leading to adaptive meta‐plasticity. Studies of meta‐plasticity may improve our understanding not only on the importance of variable plasticity in relation to how plants cope with environmental challenges but also on the costs versus benefits of plastic responses and its limits over the long term.
The discriminative potential of palatal geometric analysis for sex discrimination and human identification
Authors: Simon Botond , Aschheim Kenneth , Vág János 
Published: July 2022

AbstractPrevious 3D superimposition studies of digital scans of the human palate, using geometric and surface morphology comparisons, have shown its usefulness in assisting in the identification process, including its ability to distinguish identical twins. This study aimed to evaluate the discriminative potential when only simple geometric analysis is used. Its aim is not only to determine if geometric comparison alone is sufficient not only to assist in identification but if it supports the hypothesis of assisting in sex discrimination when no other comparative data is available. The palates of 64 monozygotic (M.Z.T.) and 39 dizygotic (D.Z.T.) twins were digitized three times using a scanner. Digital smoothing was used to remove the rugae, and palatal height, depth, and width were measured. The study confirmed that the smoothing function had little effect on the discriminatory function since the Mean Absolute Distance (MAD) between M.Z.T. (0.430 ± 0.018 mm versus 0.425 ± 0.022 mmp = 0.061) or D.Z.T. (0.621 ± 0.058 mm versus 0.586 ± 0.053 mm,p = 0.284) scans show little change. By combining the height, depth, and width into a discriminative function, the sex correctly correlated 83.9% of the time, identity by 91.2% sensitivity, and twining by 68.5%. The difference in the 3D palatal model between twin siblings is primarily due to palate geometrics. Since geometric comparison requires far less computation time, geometric comparison alone can be used as an adjunct metric for limiting the possible matches in a dental 3D database in determining both sex and identity, especially if no other evidence is available.

Hopeful tourism to grapple and engage with emotions in the Anthropocene
Authors: Westoby Ross , Clissold Rachel , McNamara Karen E. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe Anthropocene is characterised by people’s significant influences on global systems, which generate both high levels of uncertainty and profound change in our lifetime. We must start to better engage with what it might mean to inhabit and know the world differently, especially as we experience extensive loss and change, and because grief is increasingly with us. At the same time, we must better engage with our emotions productively and find hope through active, conscious processing and mourning. In this commentary, we explore the potential of engaging in nature‐based tourism to help us grapple with, process, and positively engage with the emotions of the Anthropocene. We gained insights about such potential for healing by collaborating with two eco‐tourism enterprises in Australia: Mount Barney Lodge in Southeast Queensland and Salt and Bush Eco Tours in the Peel River Region on the west coast of Australia. We found that nature immersion can heal and renew. Moreover, guides who know about and are connected to or living closely with nature play critical roles as interpreters or intermediaries with nature. They can also inspire gratitude and positive emotions by encouraging us to (re)connect with nature and provide new and transformative perspectives that bring comfort and motivate action.

Authors: Yang Yuxia , Zhao Xiuhong , Wang Rong 
Published: July 2022

AbstractWith a long history of fermentation technology and rich flavors, bread is widely consumed by people all around the world. The consumer market is huge and the demand is wide. However, the formation mechanism of bread baking flavor has not been completely defined. In order to improve the breadmaking process and the quality of bread, the main flavor substances produced in bread baking, the formation mechanism, and the detection technology of bread baking flavor are carefully summarized in this paper. The generation conditions and formation mechanism of flavor substances during the bread baking process are expounded, and the limitations of some current bread flavor detection technologies are proposed, which will provide theoretical basis for effectively regulating the generation of flavor substances in the bread baking process and making bread with good flavor and rich nutrition in the future.
Thermal aggregation behavior of egg white protein and blue round scad (Decapterus maruadsi) myofibrillar protein

Published: July 2022

AbstractIn the present study, egg white protein (EWP) and myofibrillar protein (MP) were mixed in different ratios (0/100, 10/90, 20/80, 30/70, 40/60, 50/50, 100/0 for EWP/MP) and subjected to unheated, preheated (40°C/30 min), two‐step heated (40°C/30 min, 90°C/20 min), and one‐step heated (90°C/20 min) treatments to study the thermal aggregation of the two proteins. Their aggregation behavior was characterized by turbidity, active sulfhydryl, degree of protein cross‐linking, protein characteristic spectra, and microscopic morphology. The results indicated that for the mixed protein system composed of EWP and MP, the mixed protein aggregation volume was larger and regular at an EWP/MP of 30/70, when the degree of cross‐linking was best. When the ratio of EWP/MP was 50/50, the aggregate–protein interaction was dominant, and the excess EWP acted as a barrier to cross‐linking and wrapped around the surface of the aggregates to form larger aggregates. Comparing the two‐step heated and one‐step heated conditions, the former is superior.Practical ApplicationThe combination of egg white protein and myofibrillar protein can provide a theoretical reference for the protein content in surimi products, and moderate addition has an enhancing effect on surimi protein cross‐linking and promotes gel formation. Excessive addition will form aggregates outside the egg white protein wrapping phenomenon, and the quality of surimi gel products will be affected.
