Authors: Kanjanamaneesathian Patanun , Shah Anish , Ridgway Hayley , Jones E. Eirian 
Published: November 2022

AbstractGrapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are a significant problem for New Zealand viticulture. Endophytic actinobacteria are of interest as potential biocontrol agents due to their ability to inhibit plant pathogens and improve plant growth. However, no studies have investigated the diversity of actinobacteria associated with grapevines in New Zealand vineyards and their bioactivity. Actinobacteria diversity in different ‘Sauvignon blanc’ vine tissues from three vineyards (conventional and organic management, and different vine ages) was assessed using different methods and media. Forty-six endophytic actinobacteria were isolated, with more isolates recovered from roots (n = 45) than leaves (n = 1) and shoot internodes (n = 0). More isolates were recovered from the organic (n = 21) than conventional (n = 8) vineyard, mature (25-year old; n = 21) than young (2-year old; n = 2) vines and using a tissue maceration technique (n = 40). Actinomycete Isolation Agar, International Streptomyces Project 2, and Starch Casein media were effective for actinobacteria isolation. Most of the isolates recovered belonged to Streptomyces, with one isolate identified as Mycolicibacterium. Forty isolates were assessed for antifungal activity and plant growth-promoting (PGP) characteristics. Of these, 13 isolates had antifungal activity against test GTD pathogens (Dactylonectria macrodidyma, Eutypa lata, Ilyonectria liriodendri, Neofusicoccum parvum, and N. luteum). Eighteen isolates exhibited more than one PGP trait; 25siderophore production (n = 25), phosphate solubilization (n = 6), and indole acetic acid production (n = 16). Two strains, Streptomyces sp. LUVPK-22 and Streptomyces sp. LUVPK-30, exhibited the best antifungal and PGP properties. This study revealed the diversity of culturable endophytic actinobacteria from grapevines in New Zealand vineyards and their biocontrol potential against GTD pathogens.

Published: November 2022

AbstractRecently a lumped-parameter model of the cardiovascular system was proposed to simulate the hemodynamics response to partial hepatectomy and evaluate the risk of portal hypertension (PHT) due to this surgery. Model parameters are tuned based on each patient data. This work focuses on a global sensitivity analysis (SA) study of such model to better understand the main drivers of the clinical outputs of interest. The analysis suggests which parameters should be considered patient-specific and which can be assumed constant without losing in accuracy in the predictions. While performing the SA, model outputs need to be constrained to physiological ranges. An innovative approach exploits the features of the polynomial chaos expansion method to reduce the overall computational cost. The computed results give new insights on how to improve the calibration of some model parameters. Moreover the final parameter distributions enable the creation of a virtual population available for future works. Although this work is focused on partial hepatectomy, the pipeline can be applied to other cardiovascular hemodynamics models to gain insights for patient-specific parameterization and to define a physiologically relevant virtual population.
Participative leadership, ethical climate and responsible innovation perceptions: evidence from South Korea
Authors: Lythreatis Sophie , El-Kassar Abdul-Nasser , Smart Palie , Ferraris Alberto 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis study explores a novel process linking participative leadership (PL) to responsible innovation (RI) perceptions through ethical climate. It also investigates the moderating role of managerial discretion in this process. Two-wave survey data were collected from employees working for technology firms in South Korea. Findings show that the link between PL and RI perceptions is mediated by ethical climate and that the relationship between ethical climate and RI as well as the indirect relationship between PL and RI are moderated by managerial discretion. This study expands the theoretical research perspective on consequences and mechanisms of PL, uncovers a new driver of ethical climate, expands research on the outcomes of ethical work climates, discovers new antecedents of RI perceptions, and enriches the RI literature by exploring mechanisms and boundary conditions in which RI perceptions are formed within organizations in Asia Pacific, specifically South Korea. This study provides a good approach for managers in Asian countries to follow if they wish to establish positive perceptions of an ethical climate and RI among their employees that are important to achieve organizational success.
Differences in Parenting Behavior are Systematic Sources of the Non-shared Environment for Internalizing and Externalizing Problem Behavior
Authors: Nikstat Amelie , Riemann Rainer 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAlthough there is evidence for non-shared environmental links between parenting and problem behavior, so far, age-, informant-, and parent-specific patterns for both internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors have not been examined within one study yet. Using the twin differences design, the present study aimed to test how maternal and paternal parenting systematically act as a source of non-shared environment for problem behavior across different age groups and informants. We examined 1327 monozygotic twin pairs and their parents drawn from three birth cohorts of the German TwinLife study. Our results revealed that particularly child-reported less positive and more negative parenting by both parents contribute significantly to the unique environmental variance of problem behavior, although we did not find a clear pattern across age groups. Our study underlines the necessity of controlling for genetic confounding to uncover the truly environmentally mediated (and thus environmentally influenceable) pathways between parenting and problem behavior. A practical implication could be that it may be useful to primarily consider the child’s perspective and focus on maternal as well as paternal parenting in interventions that address parenting to reduce problem behavior.

Online Advertising and Real Estate sales: evidence from the Housing Market
Authors: Zhang Xiuzhi , Zhang Ying , Lin Zhijie 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDespite the popular use of online advertising by marketers, little is known about its role in the real estate market. This research aims to investigate how online advertising affects the sales of new houses and explores potential contingent factors and the underlying mechanism. Based on a rich secondary data set and econometric models, we find that online advertising increases the sales of new houses, and the effect is stronger with lower housing prices, higher residential incomes, and lower-tier cities. Additionally, the mechanism is that advertising generates an impact via processes, such as lowering housing prices, attracting more immigrants, and reducing emigration. Lastly, the spillover effect of online advertising may not exist in the housing market. We discuss theoretical contributions and important implications to practitioners and policy makers.

Published: November 2022

AbstractSiwa Oasis is of great historical, environmental, and scientific importance, as it contains unique archeological and geological features. Groundwater is the main source of freshwater in that oasis. The carbonate aquifer groundwater, used for irrigation, was sampled to evaluate factors controlling quality changes spatially and temporally by applying hydrochemical and statistical analyses. The salinity of the aquifer varied spatially from 1367 to 8645 mg/l based on one hydrogeological condition, with the highest TDS (> 5432.5 mg/l, 25% of samples) at the central part of the study area. Temporally, the salinity changed slightly from 3754.3 mg/l (in 2014) to 4222.4 mg/l (in 2020). The cession of illegal wells, pumping control, and excavation of formed salts have a noticeable impact on salinity (mediate the increase in salinity) and ions. However, about 61% of the studied samples can be considered unsuitable for irrigation owing to salinity and can harm plant yield. The heavy metals studied (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb), except Cd, were within the permissible limit for irrigation water. Finally, it is proposed to construct desalination stations to enhance water quality for irrigation in the study area and set up many companies for salt extraction.
Participation and performance characteristics in half-marathon run: a brief narrative review
Authors: Nikolaidis Pantelis Theodoros , Knechtle Beat 
Published: November 2022

AbstractHalf-marathon (HM) is a running sport of increasing popularity in both sexes and in all age groups worldwide during the last years. Many studies have examined several aspects of HM, such as performance and participation trends, sex and age differences, physiological correlates, and training; however, no comprehensive review has ever been contacted to summarize the recently accumulated knowledge. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to review all previous research in this sport, focusing on participation and performance aspects. It was shown that HM runners had similar anthropometric and physiological characteristics as full-marathon runners which should be attributed to the affinity of these two races in terms of metabolic demands. Performance in HM was related with superior scores in aerobic capacity (maximal oxygen uptake, anaerobic threshold and running economy) and training characteristics (sport experience, weekly distance, training speed, frequency of sessions and long single endurance run distance), and lower scores in adiposity-related scores (e.g. body mass, body mass index, body fat percentage and skinfold thickness). Considering the popularity of HM race and the lack of many original studies (compared to FM race), this is an exciting field for scientific research with a large potential for practical applications, since the majority of HM runners are amateur runners in need of sex-, age- and performance-tailored exercise prescription.
Exciting Storms: Weather Phenomena as Catalysts of Chivalric Adventures
Authors: Reich Philip 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe tempest is a conventional figure in epic tradition. This essay examines the narrative position of weather phenomena in Middle High German courtly romances and their relation to the adventures of the active characters–most of them knights. In particular, storms, as severe meteorological perturbations, seem to excite heroic exploits as they mark the difference between the space of origin and a space of danger. To return to safety, the heroes undergo adventures, but also expose themselves to perilous situations in which they lose their agency. This (in some ways paradoxical) constellation between passivity and activity is processed through various narrative possibilities in which agency alternates between the prescient characters and meteorological ‘entities’. The essay is concerned mainly with theEneasRomance (Heinrich von Veldeke), the anonymousHerzog Ernst(B), and the Arthurian RomancesParzival(Wolfram von Eschenbach),Iwein(Hartmann von Aue) andDiuCrône(Heinrich von dem Türlin).
Decentring the discoverer: how AI helps us rethink scientific discovery
Authors: Clark Elinor , Khosrowi Donal 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates how intuitions about scientific discovery using artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to improve our understanding of scientific discovery more generally. Traditional accounts of discovery have been agent-centred: they place emphasis on identifying a specific agent who is responsible for conducting all, or at least the important part, of a discovery process. We argue that these accounts experience difficulties capturing scientific discovery involving AI and that similar issues arise for human discovery. We propose an alternative, collective-centred view as superior for understanding discovery, with and without AI. This view maintains that discovery is performed by a collective of agents and entities, each making contributions that differ in significance and character, and that attributing credit for discovery depends on various finer-grained properties of the contributions made. Detailing its conceptual resources, we argue that this view is considerably more compelling than its agent-centred alternative. Considering and responding to several theoretical and practical challenges, we point to concrete avenues for further developing the view we propose.
Investigation of Contact Clusters Between Rough Surfaces
Authors: Yin Shijun , Costagliola Gianluca , Molinari Jean-François 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe investigate the persistence of micro-contacts between two elastic random rough surfaces by means of a simple model for quasi-static sliding. Contact clusters are calculated with the Boundary Element Method, then surfaces are repeatedly displaced to study the evolution of the original contact area. While the real contact area remains constant due to the rejuvenation of micro-contacts, the original contact clusters are progressively erased and replaced by new ones. We find an approximate exponential decrease of the original real contact area with a characteristic length that is influenced both by statistics of the contact cluster distribution and physical parameters. This study aims to shine light on the microscopic origins of phenomenological rate-and-state friction laws and the memory effects observed in frictional sliding.
The Evolutionary Origin(s) of the Umwelt
Authors: Tønnessen Morten 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAlthough Jakob von Uexküll´s Umwelt theory is not mentioned in Jablonka and Ginsburg´s Target article, von Uexküll´s theory is clearly relevant in the context of the article, with the authors´ emphasis on the origin of “subjective experiencing”. I relate some of Jablonka and Ginsburg´s main claims to an evolutionary perspective on Umwelt theory. As it turns out, the Umwelt has multiple evolutionary origins depending on our exact definition(s) of Umwelt.
Pretreatment platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as a prognosticating indicator for gastric cancer patients receiving immunotherapy
Authors: Gou Miaomiao , Zhang Yong 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
Previous investigations suggest that systemic inflammation markers are able to provide prognostic value in several cancers. This study seeks to characterize the ability of pretreatment platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) to prognosticate advanced or metastatic gastric cancer patients (AGC or MGC, respectively) receiving immunotherapy.

Methods
AGC and MGC patients exposed to PD-1 inhibitors from January 2016–August 2021 in the Chinese PLA General Hospital were recruited. Correlations between PLR and overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and immunotherapy-associated tumor response rates were determined.

Results
237 patients were enrolled for this retrospective investigation. The 6 month and 12 month PFS based on the area under the curve value was 0.60 and 0.65 (p < 0.05). based on a calculated PLR cut-off value of 139.41, The PLR < 139.41 group has a longer OS in contrast with the PLR ≥ 139.41 group (13.46 m vs 10.71 m, HR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.42–0.78, p = 0.004). The PLR < 139.41 group had a PFS of 7.93 m in contrast to the 4.75 m seen in those with PLR ≥ 139.41 group (HR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.43–0.76, p = 0.002). The disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR) were 86.17% and 30.85%, respectively, in the PLR < 139.41 group, but were 82.52% and 32.17%, respectively in the PLR ≥ 139.41 group. Both groups did not show any marked differences in terms of ORR and DCR (p = 0.887, p = 0.476). PLR is an independent prognostic indicator for OS and PFS upon uni- and multivariate analyses (p < 0.05).

Conclusions
Pre-treatment PLR correlated significantly with PFS and OS in AGC and MGC patients who received immunotherapy. An elevated PLR may provide guidance on subsequent treatment options.
Envelope-based constrained model for multiparameter pre-stack seismic inversion
Authors: Shan Junzhen , Wu Guochen , Yang Sen , Liu Hongying 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPre-stack seismic inversion is an effective method to estimate multiparameter from seismic reflection data in the oil–gas reservoir exploration. In order to get a reliable inverted parameter result, a constrained model is commonly used to reduce the multi-solution in the seismic inversion. However, it is hard to get an appropriate constrained model by conventional well-log data interpolation or velocity field in offshore oil–gas exploration with sparse wells. Envelope inversion has been successfully applied to get a good initial model with low-frequency components in full-waveform inversion. In order to fully exploit the rich information contained in seismic data, we introduce envelope inversion into background modeling based on convolution theory and propose a multiparameter pre-stack seismic inversion with envelope prior constraint. Both inversion results of the model and field data indicate the effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed method in multiparameter estimation.
Food Insecurity and COVID-19 Food-Related Perceptions, Practices, and Problems: A 3-State Descriptive Study
Authors: Koyratty Nadia , Clay Lauren , Penta Samantha , Silver Amber 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Objective:
To compare food insecurity (FI) risk and food-related COVID-19 infection risk perceptions, practices, and problems (3P) in Washington (WA), New York (NY), and Louisiana (LA).

Methods:
Data from the RAPID Multi-Wave Risk Perception Study was collected via online surveys between May 19 to July 14, 2020 (N = 1260). Multivariable - adjusted logistic and ordinal regressions were performed for odds of FI risk and 3P during these early months of the pandemic.

Results:
The determinants of FI risk in all states included income, age, and employment. Some determinants were state-specific: households with members at substantial risk for COVID-19 (WA and NY), ethnicity (NY), education, and relationship status (LA). The odds of FI risk were higher among those who perceived higher likelihood of COVID-19 infection via in-store shopping (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.70) and improperly cooked food (OR = 1.87, 95% CI: 1.46, 2.41). FI risk was associated with higher odds of problems related to food affordability (OR = 10.66, 95% CI: 7.87, 14.44), preference (OR = 2.51, 95% CI: 1.86, 3.39), sufficiency (OR = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.96, 3.54), food sources (OR = 7.68, 95% CI: 5.73, 10.31), food storage capacity (OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.36, 0.66), and knowing where to find help in obtaining food (OR= 7.68, 95% CI: 5.73, 10.31); most of which did not differ by state. No association was found between food insecurity risk and food-related practices.

Conclusion:
Better food preparedness is needed to reduce FI risk during pandemics in specific groups in WA, NY, and LA. Specifically, food affordability, sufficiency, and storage, as well as sources, and increasing knowledge on food programs are limitations that need to be addressed for emergency situations.

Published: November 2022

Abstract

Objective:
Physician mental health is critical during the recovery of natural and human-made disasters (NHDs), yet the accessibility of mental health resources to physicians has not been characterized. This study examined emergency medicine and trauma physician knowledge of and access to mental health resources in NHD settings.

Methods:
The survey was electronically disseminated to the American College of Emergency Physicians and the American Association of the Surgery of Trauma between February 4, 2020, and March 9, 2020. The 17-question survey assessed physician awareness and access to emergency preparedness resources at their institutions.

Results:
Of the responders, 86% (n = 229) were aware of written emergency response plans for their facility. While 31% were aware of the hospital’s mental health policies and resources outside of the emergency response plan, only 25% knew how to access these resources during and after NHDs. Finally, 10% reported the incorporation of mental health resources during institutional practice drills.

Conclusions:
Physicians reported knowledge of emergency preparedness policies; however, significant gaps remain in physician knowledge and access to mental health resources NHD settings. As NHDs increase on a global scale, it is critical for health systems to ensure accessible infrastructure to support the mental well-being of health professionals.

Published: November 2022

Abstract

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the nurse-patient trust among in-patients in the context of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic; it further analyzed the related influencing factors, which will provide a theoretical basis for developing corresponding measures.

Methods:
This study employed a mixed-method design and analyzed 149 patients at the Hongqi Hospital, affiliated with Mudanjiang Medical University, from December 2020 to February 2021. Quantitative analysis was carried out using the “Nurse Patient Trust Scale,” and qualitative analysis was performed using a semi-structured interview with in-patients.

Results:
The average score on the scale was 46.65 ± 2.83, and the scores of the 2 dimensions were: 23.24 ± 1.51 for ability and peace of mind, and 23.32 ± 1.53 for attitude and care. According to the interview data, the factors included 3 aspects: a comfortable hospital environment and humane management measures; the nurse’s own competence; and effective communication with patients.

Conclusion:
During the COVID-19 epidemic, there are still many factors affecting patients’ trust in nurses that can be addressed by taking different measures. All these factors must be considered by the relevant managers and clinical nursing staff to maintain a better nurse-patient trust relationship.
