Published: May 2022

Approximately 60 percent of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) produced in developing countries is cultivated under conditions of drought stress and low fertility/ low input. Coincidence of water and heat stress, which is projected to occur more in changing climates, cause severe yield loss. To quantify the response of kidney bean to water and temperature stress, an experiment was carried under Randomized Block Design in field and temperature gradient tunnel conditions. Temperature treatments included high temperature for entire crop growth period (~4.6℃, ~3.1℃, ~2.8℃ above mean ambient, 19.6℃), ambient temperature, elevated temperature during pre-flowering phase (~3.7℃ above mean ambient during that period, 19.6℃), flowering phase (~5.3℃ above mean ambient during that period, 23.1℃) and pod-filling phase (~5.2℃ above mean ambient during that period, 28.9℃). These were combined with i) two irrigations (applied at sowing and seedling phase) and ii) three irrigations (additional irrigation at pod-filling phase). Results indicated that plants under seasonal mean temperatures of 36.7/11.7℃, 33.9/11.6℃ and 33.1/11.7℃ had shortened crop duration with 73-78 DAS. Findings this study indicated that kidney bean exhibits phenological plasticity response to temperature and water regimes. Seasonal mean temperature of 24.2℃ lead to better performance of the crop while temperature shocks during pre-flowering and flowering significantly reduced seed yield. Additionally, exposure of kidney bean plants to water stress (available soil moisture content <10%) significantly reduced seed yield. Coincidence of temperature stress and water stress had more detrimental effects on seed yield. Given the climate scenarios indicating increased variability in temperature and rainfall, findings from this study indicate that climatic risks mayaffect kidney bean seed yield in future. Strategies such as providing supplemental irrigation can alleviate the negative effects of temperature stress and improve kidney bean yield.

Published: May 2022

Quando em processo de internacionalização, as corporações podem determinar às suas Unidades de Negócio semelhanças às realidades das suas matrizes como padronização de procedimentos, custos operacionais per capta, modelagem de avaliação de desempenho, entre outros influenciáveis ao Sistema de Controle Gerencial. Mas a aderência a tais semelhanças pode ser minimizada por aspectos e realidades locais, que podem traduzir alterações no referido controle gerencial. O estudo de caso apresentado busca qualificar e analisar os possíveis impactos nos sistemas de controle gerencial da controladora, a partir da avaliação do processo de internacionalização das atividades de uma diretoria de serviços compartilhados na indústria da mineração, em decorrência da absorção das atividades-meio de uma empresa incorporada, localizada no exterior. Foram efetuados questionários qualitativos com gestores e empregados sênior, que detinham posições de liderança e/ou estavam envolvidos no processo de internacionalização da Unidade de Negócios (UN). Em função das diferenças encontradas na controlada estrangeira, os resultados mostraram que os impactos no Controle Gerencial foram inicialmente relevantes e de solução não simples: houve impactos nas rotinas de atendimento, necessidade de time dedicado e paralelismo operacional, entre outros, contrariando parcialmente o conceito de serviço compartilhado e influenciando custos de transação e métricas praticadas. Também houve relevante aprendizado à controladora mediante desafios envolvendo a cultura organizacional, idiomas e legislações distintos, além de posição neófita no negócio incorporado. Como relevância espera-se que este trabalho possa contribuir na tomada de decisão das firmas internacionalizadas, permitindo a delimitação de trade-off para o portfólio de serviços compartilhados geridos no exterior.

Diversos estudos salientam que a falta de capacidades entre os funcionários e autoridades governamentais impactam negativamente na gestão dos resíduos sólidos e do lixo. À vista disso, este artigo objetiva explorar, descrever e discutir os desafios da gestão do lixo na cidade de Alenquer (PA) na perspectiva de aprofundar o entendimento da relação entre contexto, capacidades e os problemas na gestão do lixo no contexto amazônico. Para tanto, realizou-se uma análise documental com auxílio de software estatístico para categorizar conexões e lacunas explicativas. Os resultados apontaram que no contexto estudados há uma luta pelo poder político e a falta de capacidade favorece a ação de atores poderosos. Neste contexto, pessoas têm assumido postos sem habilidades para exercer funções gerenciais fragilizando a capacidade de coordenação e de gestão dos resíduos e do lixo. , refletindo um processo de retroalimentação negativa entre as capacidades de prestação dos serviços públicos e os problemas de saúde. Constata-se que o contexto e as capacidades impactam os serviços básicos a ponto de torna-lo ineficiente.

Enjoyment through activities has an important impact on the positive development of young people. The general objective of this work is to know the characteristics of enjoyment in young students and its relationship with the sense of personal fulfillment. Method. 839 high school and university students participated (63.9% female) between the ages of 13 and 30 (M = 18.40; SD = 4.82) from Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA)/Argentina. Instruments: Scale of Enjoyment in Activity (EDA), Scale of Personal Fulfillment (ESAR) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data analysis: An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was carried out, the reliability of the factors was studied, t tests and ANOVAs for the differences between groups, Pearson's correlation and simple linear regression were performed. Results: The EFA yielded two factors that explain 66.6% of the variance. Enjoyment can be known through two subscales: positive affect and involvement. The activities they enjoy the most are physical-sports, artistic and social. Men show more involvement than women and secondary students show more involvement than young people at the university level. Enjoyment predicts a sense of personal fulfillment. Future studies will make it possible to know the ability of enjoyment to predict health and well-being parameters in the young population.

Power On!
Authors: Ryoo Jean J. , Margolis Jane , JB Charis 
Published: May 2022

A diverse group of teenage friends learn how computing can be personally and politically empowering and why all students need access to computer science education.
This lively graphic novel follows a diverse group of teenage friends as they discover that computing can be fun, creative, and empowering. Taylor, Christine, Antonio, and Jon seem like typical young teens—they communicate via endless texting, they share jokes, they worry about starting high school, and they have each other's backs. But when a racially-biased artificial intelligence system causes harm in their neighborhood, they suddenly realize that tech isn't as neutral as they thought it was. But can an algorithm be racist? And what is an algorithm, anyway?
In school, they decide to explore computing classes, with mixed results. One class is only about typing. The class that Christine wants to join is full, and the school counselor suggests that she take a class in “Tourism and Hospitality” instead. (Really??) But Antonio's class seems legit, Christine finds an after-school program, and they decide to teach the others what they learn. By summer vacation, all four have discovered that computing is both personally and politically empowering.
Interspersed through the narrative are text boxes with computer science explainers and inspirational profiles of people of color and women in the field (including Katherine Johnson of Hidden Figures fame). Power On! is an essential read for young adults, general readers, educators, and anyone interested in the power of computing, how computing can do good or cause harm, and why addressing underrepresentation in computing needs to be a top priority.
From the authors of Power On!
In today's world, technology is impacting every aspect of our lives. We wrote Power On! to fill a gap in current computer science classrooms and out-of-school programs by providing an accessible educational tool for discussing pressing issues of equity and ethics in tech, while motivating all youth to learn about computer science, regardless of their career path. Our hope is that this graphic novel can serve as an engaging way to learn about current research in computer science and computing education.
We also hope this book can spark conversation, introducing a wide range of topics for people to pick up, discuss, and learn more about together. The book will be published with a free educator guide available at www.poweronbook.com, providing discussion questions such as:
· What are ways that technology is creating social good as well as harm in today's world?
· Can robots be racist?
· Why does underrepresentation of students of color and females matter?
· What can be done to change this underrepresentation?
· What ideas do you have for a technological innovation that could address a social problem you care about?
· How can we help support all students in getting the education they deserve and need?
Controlling Plasmonic Chemistry Pathways through Specific Ion Effects

Published: May 2022

AbstractPlasmon‐driven dehalogenation of brominated purines has been recently explored as a model system to understand fundamental aspects of plasmon‐assisted chemical reactions. Here, it is shown that divalent Ca2+ ions strongly bridge the adsorption of bromoadenine (Br‐Ade) to Ag surfaces. Such ion‐mediated binding increases the molecule's adsorption energy leading to an overlap of the metal energy states and the molecular states, enabling the chemical interface damping (CID) of the plasmon modes of the Ag nanostructures (i.e., direct electron transfer from the metal to Br‐Ade). Consequently, the conversion of Br‐Ade to adenine almost doubles following the addition of Ca2+. These experimental results, supported by theoretical calculations of the local density of states of the Ag/Br‐Ade complex, indicate a change of the charge transfer pathway driving the dehalogenation reaction, from Landau damping (in the lack of Ca2+ ions) to CID (after the addition of Ca2+). The results show that the surface dynamics of chemical species (including water molecules) play an essential role in charge transfer at plasmonic interfaces and cannot be ignored. It is envisioned that these results will help in designing more efficient nanoreactors, harnessing the full potential of plasmon‐assisted chemistry.

AbstractSeveral exotic plants (non‐native) are used in Brazilian traditional medicine and are known worldwide for their possible diuretic actions. Among the wide variety of plants, standing out Achillea millefolium L., Camellia sinensis L. Kuntze, Crocus sativus L., Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn., Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) A.W. Hill, Taraxacum officinale (L.) Weber, and Urtica dioica L., whose effects have already been the subject of some scientific study. In addition, we also discussed other exotic species in Brazil used popularly, but that still lack scientific studies, like the species Arctium lappa L., Carica papaya L., Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, Centella asiatica (L.) Urb, Citrus aurantium L., and Persea americana Mill. However, generally, clinical studies on these plants are scarce. In this context, different plant species can be designated for further comprehensive studies, therefore, promoting support for developing an effective medicine to induce diuresis.
Targeting the cutaneous microbiota in atopic dermatitis: ‘A new hope’ or ‘attack of the CoNS’?
Authors: Chu Chia‐Yu 
Published: May 2022

AbstractAlthough evidence showing that Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is directly causative of atopic dermatitis (AD) is still lacking, there is evidence that S. aureus abundance is associated with disease flares and therapeutic responses. Patients receiving ATx201 OINTMENT 2% twice‐daily had a significant reduction in the abundance of S. aureus and increasing Shannon diversity of skin microbiome compared to vehicle after seven days. A small molecule with a narrow‐spectrum effect, especially on S. aureus, might be an attractive alternative for the treatment of AD.
On the spectral efficiency of cell‐free massive MIMO system in irregular 5G mobile networks

SummarySpectral efficiency (SE) is one of the eminent requirements in 5G mobile networks. Cell‐free (CF) massive MIMO is deemed a key technology to provide substantial SE in 5G compared with the cellular and small cell approaches. Most of the prior studies have been focusing on the access points (APs) uniform distribution to assess the SE performance. However, 5G networks are typically dense, irregularly distributed, and mostly constrained by channel impairments. Therefore, considering a uniform distribution of APs is unrealistic. This paper considers a practical network distribution by taking into account the irregular and adaptive APs distribution based on the Poisson point process approach and over the Rician fading channels. Therein, the downlink (DL) SE of CF massive MIMO system is accurately investigated bearing in mind the AP's irregular distribution and fast channel variation for both perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI) cases. The simulation results have shown that the DL SE of the CF massive MIMO system is considerably affected when considering the irregular deployment of APs compared with the uniform distribution, especially when the phase noise effect is tense. The SE gain performance is reduced by 37.9% in the DL transmissions, compared with the uniform model. Besides, the results have proven that the DL SE gain is remarkably improved when the APs are largely distributed within the network. However, the gained DL SE is affected when increasing the user's density and length of the uplink training period.
Ethical Considerations for Parent‐Adolescent Dyadic Research

Published: May 2022

ABSTRACTOver the last few years, the use of dyadic research methods has expanded considerably. One area that has benefited from this type of research is the study of the family unit, particularly parent‐adolescent dyads. Dyadic research allows investigators to assess relationship dynamics, processes, and congruences within a family unit, as well as the distinct experiences of each member of the dyad. However, like all emerging and expanding areas of human subjects research, parent‐adolescent dyadic research faces several ethical challenges. Given the advantages of parent‐adolescent dyadic research for examining family relational processes, this article addresses ethical challenges experienced by dyadic researchers that often temper interests in applying these approaches. Drawing on the scholarly literature and the authors’ experiences conducting parent‐adolescent dyadic research, we discuss heightened and unique ethical challenges that arise in this area of inquiry and provide recommendations on how to best navigate those issues.

AbstractIdentifying relatively intact areas within ecosystems and determining the conditions favoring their existence is necessary for effective management in the context of widespread environmental degradation. In this study, we used 3766 surveys of randomly selected sites in the United States and U.S. Territories to identify the correlates of sites categorized as “oases” (defined as sites with relatively high total coral cover). We used occupancy models to evaluate the influence of 10 environmental predictors on the probability that an area (21.2‐km2 cell) would harbor coral oases defined at four spatial extents: cross‐basin, basin, region, and subregion. Across all four spatial extents, oases were more likely to occur in habitats with high light attenuation. The influence of the other environmental predictors on the probability of oasis occurrence were less consistent and varied with the scale of observation. Oases were most likely in areas of low human population density, but this effect was evident only at the cross‐basin and subregional extents. At the regional and subregional extents oases were more likely where sea‐surface temperature was more variable, whereas at the larger spatial extents the opposite was true. By identifying the correlates of oasis occurrence, the model can inform the prioritization of reef areas for management. Areas with biophysical conditions that confer corals with physiological resilience, as well as limited human impacts, likely support coral reef oases across spatial extents. Our approach is widely applicable to the development of conservation strategies to protect biodiversity and ecosystems in an era of magnified human disturbance.
