The Influence of Environmental Values on Consumer Intentions to Participate in Agritourism—A Model to Extend TPB
Authors: Zhao Zinan , Xue Yongji , Geng Lili , Xu Ye , Meline Nyingone Ndongo 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis study examines the influence of environmental values on consumer intentions to participate in agritourism through the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and value-belief-norm (VBN) theory. It proposes an integrative model by adding two variables, i.e., environmental benefits and the human-nature coordination concept, to the TPB. The study employs a questionnaire survey method and a sample of 640, which was statistically analysed through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results reveal that the “environmental values-attitudes-behavioural intentions” framework has scientific applicability in agritourism. Environmental values, measured through the variables environmental benefits and the human-nature coordination concept, are positively correlated directly or indirectly with agritourism consumption intentions, while attitudes and subjective norms serve as mediators. However, the mediating effect of perceived behavioural control is not statistically significant, indicating making efforts to influence attitudes and subjective norms is more useful for and effective in stimulating the public’s intentions towards agritourism. As this study tests the hypotheses with empirical data, it provides practical implications for policy-makers and programme managers.
Music preferences as an instrument of emotional self-regulation along the business cycle
Authors: de Lucio Juan , Palomeque Marco 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis paper studies the influence of macroeconomic conditions on subjective well-being and music preferences. The macroeconomic cycle exerts an effect on happiness and well-being that consumers counterbalance by modifying music consumption. We use machine learning techniques to make a weekly classification of the top 100 songs of Billboard Hot 100 into positive and negative lyrics over the period 1958–2019. When unemployment is high, society generally prefers more positive songs. Other macroeconomic indicators such as high inflation, high interest rates or low stock market prices also affect musical preferences. These results provide initial evidence regarding the use of cultural consumption to offset business cycle oscillations.
“Will it Work as Well on Zoom?” A Natural Experiment During the Covid-19 Pandemic of Delivering Parenting Groups Via Video Conferencing or in Person
Authors: van Leuven Livia , Lalouni Maria , Forster Martin 
Published: August 2022

AbstractWhile rates of child maltreatment increased during the Covid-19-pandemic, face-to-face interventions to support families got difficult to carry out due to restrictions. Meanwhile, many services do not have access to parenting programs designed for digital or remote delivery. A solution employed by some services was to use video conferencing (VC) to deliver their regular parenting programs. This study examined the effectiveness of the universal group-based parenting program ABC offered through VC instead of on-site meetings during the pandemic. Pre and post measurements were collected from 469 parents participating in either 1) ABC with VC meetings only, 2) on-site meetings only, or 3) blended – a combination of VC and on-site sessions. In addition, 74 group leaders completed a survey about their experiences of VC groups. Analyses showed general improvements in parent practices and child conduct over time, but no differences in effectiveness depending on the format of the parent group (VC, blended, or on-site). Qualitative analyses of group leaders’ experiences revealed four key-themes pertaining to both challenges (e.g., concerns about parents’ ability to benefit and learn parenting skills) and benefits (e.g., reaching parents who would not have been able to attend physical meetings) of VC groups. Overall, this study showed no significant differences in outcomes between the VC, blended, or on-site format of delivery. There are however limitations of this trial, and results should be considered preliminary. Effectiveness and potential negative consequences of replacing interventions intended to be delivered on-site with VC alternatives need to be further investigated in future trials.
Instant flow distribution network optimization in liquid composite molding using deep reinforcement learning
Authors: Szarski Martin , Chauhan Sunita 
Published: August 2022

AbstractCarbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) manufacturing cycle time is a major driver of production rate and cost for aerospace manufacturers. In vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) where liquid thermoset resin is infused into dry carbon reinforcement under vacuum pressure, the design of a resin distribution network to minimize fill time while ensuring the preform is completely full of resin is critical to achieving acceptable quality and cycle time. Complex resin distribution networks in aerospace composites increase the need for quick, optimized virtual design feedback. Framing the problem flow media placement in terms of reinforcement learning, we train a deep neural network agent using a 3D Finite Element based process model of resin flow in dry carbon preforms. Our agent learns to place flow media on thin laminates in order to avoid resin starvation and reduce total infusion time. Due to the knowledge the agent has gained during training on a variety of thin laminate geometries, when presented with a new thin laminate geometry it is able to propose a good flow media layout in less than a second. On a realistic aerospace part with a complex 12-dimensional flow media network, we demonstrate our method reduces fill time by 32% when compared to an expert designed placement, while maintaining the same fill quality.
Effectiveness of a Brief Functional Analysis and Functional Communication Training Conducted Through Telehealth
Authors: Craig Emma A. , Dounavi Katerina , Ferguson Jenny 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis study evaluates the effectiveness of a brief functional analysis and functional communication training conducted via telehealth. Three interventionist-child dyads took part in the study including one speech and language pathologist and two school teaching assistants, each working with one child with autism spectrum disorder. Interventionists were trained using didactic training to implement a brief functional analysis as well as synchronous coaching from a BCBA® to implement functional communication training. A multiple baseline across participants design was utilised to evaluate if interventionists could implement functional communication training to decrease challenging behaviours that included aggression, elopement and disruption. Sessions concluded earlier than planned due to school closures mandated by the COVID-19 outbreak for two of the three participants; however, existing data provide evidence that telehealth is a valid model for enabling clinicians to work in collaboration with school personnel to effectively deliver assessment and intervention procedures remotely via telehealth.
Numerical methods using two different approximations of space-filling curves for black-box global optimization
Authors: Sergeyev Yaroslav D. , Nasso Maria Chiara , Lera Daniela 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIn this paper, multi-dimensional global optimization problems are considered, where the objective function is supposed to be Lipschitz continuous, multiextremal, and without a known analytic expression. Two different approximations of Peano-Hilbert curve applied to reduce the problem to a univariate one satisfying the Hölder condition are discussed. The first of them, piecewise-linear approximation, is broadly used in global optimization and not only whereas the second one, non-univalent approximation, is less known. Multi-dimensional geometric algorithms employing these Peano curve approximations are introduced and their convergence conditions are established. Numerical experiments executed on 800 randomly generated test functions taken from the literature show a promising performance of algorithms employing Peano curve approximations w.r.t. their direct competitors.
Gestational Health Outcomes Among Pregnant Women in the United States by Level of Dairy Consumption and Quality of Diet, NHANES 2003–2016
Authors: Davis Benjamin J. K. , Bi Xiaoyu , Higgins Kelly A. , Scrafford Carolyn G. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Objectives
Diet is an important factor in gestational health. Many pregnant women have suboptimal diets and dairy foods are an excellent source of key nutrients. The aim of this work was to investigate the relationships between dairy consumption (cup equivalents/day) or diet quality assessed using the Healthy Eating Index-2015 and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or gestational weight gain (GWG) among pregnant women in the United States (US).

Methods
Study populations were subsets of pregnant, non-lactating women (20–44 years) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 2003–2016, which was approved by the National Center for Health Statistics Research Ethics Review Board. GDM and GWG were classified according to national guidelines. General characteristics were compared across categories of dietary variables. Adjusted regression models estimated associations between diet and GDM and GWG.

Results
No statistically significant linear associations between dairy consumption or diet quality and GDM or GWG were observed.

Conclusions for Practice
Future research should aim to address the limitations of the current cross-sectional analyses and further elucidate the underlying relationships between diet and gestational health.

Published: August 2022

AbstractMost of India’s current electricity demand is met by combustion of fossil fuels, particularly coal. But the country has embarked on a major expansion of renewable energy and aims for half of its electricity needs to be met by renewable sources by 2030. As climate change-driven temperature increases continue to threaten India’s population and drive increased demand for air conditioning, there is a need to estimate the local benefits of policies that increase renewable energy capacity and reduce cooling demand in buildings. We investigate the impacts of climate change-driven temperature increases, along with population and economic growth, on demand for electricity to cool buildings in the Indian city of Ahmedabad between 2018 and 2030. We estimate the share of energy demand met by coal-fired power plants versus renewable energy in 2030, and the cooling energy demand effects of expanded cool roof adaptation in the city. We find renewable energy capacity could increase from meeting 9% of cooling energy demand in 2018 to 45% in 2030. Our modeling indicates a near doubling in total electricity supply and a nearly threefold growth in cooling demand by 2030. Expansion of cool roofs to 20% of total roof area (associated with a 0.21 TWh reduction in cooling demand between 2018 and 2030) could more than offset the city’s climate change-driven 2030 increase in cooling demand (0.17 TWh/year). This study establishes a framework for linking climate, land cover, and energy models to help policymakers better prepare for growing cooling energy demand under a changing climate.
Effect of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate on Stress-Induced Depression in a Mouse Model: Role of Interleukin-1β and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor

Published: August 2022

AbstractEpigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) is a natural polyphenolic antioxidant in green tea leaves with well-known health-promoting properties. However, the influence of EGCG on a chronic animal model of depression remains to be fully investigated, and the details of the molecular and cellular changes are still unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the antidepressant effect of EGCG in mice subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). After eight consecutive weeks of CUMS, the mice were treated with EGCG (200 mg/kg b.w.) by oral gavage for two weeks. A forced swimming test (FST) was used to assess depressive symptoms. EGCG administration significantly alleviated CUMS-induced depression-like behavior in mice. EGCG also effectively decreased serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and increased the mRNA expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampal CA3 region of CUMS mice. Furthermore, electron microscopic examination of CA3 neurons in CUMS mice showed morphological features of apoptosis, loss or disruption of the myelin sheath, and degenerating synapses. These neuronal injuries were diminished with the administration of EGCG. The treatment effect of EGCG in CUMS-induced behavioral alterations was comparable with that of clomipramine hydrochloride (Anafranil), a tricyclic antidepressant drug. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that the antidepressive action of EGCG involves downregulation of serum IL-1β, upregulation of BDNF mRNA in the hippocampus, and reduction of CA3 neuronal lesions.
Placebo administration for dry eye disease: a level I evidence based systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Prinz Julia , Maffulli Nicola , Fuest Matthias , Walter Peter , Hildebrand Frank , Migliorini Filippo 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Background
The efficacy of various common treatment options for dry eye disease (DED) has been investigated against placebo. However, the potential beneficial effect of placebo in the management of DED is still unclear.

Aim
This meta-analysis investigated the impact of placebo administration in DED in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Schirmer I test (SIT), tear breakup time (TBUT), corneal staining, and complications.

Method
This meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted according to the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. In March 2022, Pubmed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Embase were accessed. All the randomised clinical trials which investigated any active treatment against a placebo control group were considered. The following data were extracted at baseline and at last follow-up: Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), tear breakup time test (TBUT), Schirmer I test (SIT), corneal staining.

Results
Data from 56 studies (12,205 patients) were retrieved. Placebo administration is not effective in improving TBUT (P = 0.3), OSDI (P = 0.2), SIT (P = 0.1) and corneal staining (P = 0.1) from baseline to last follow-up. Active treatment led to a higher TBUT and SIT compared to placebo administration (P < 0.0001). The active treatment resulted in a lower OSDI compared to placebo administration (P = 0.0005). Five studies reported data on the corneal staining. No difference was found between placebo administration and active treatment (P = 0.8).

Conclusion
Placebo administration does not impact symptoms of DED and can be successfully employed to evaluate the efficacy of active treatments.
Early childhood education in Africa: Between overambitious global objectives, the need to reflect local interests, and educational choices
Authors: Akkari Abdeljalil 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThe African continent represents the part of the world where early childhood care and education (ECCE) preceding primary schooling is the least developed. It is therefore essential to propose an analysis of the prospects for the development of early childhood education in the coming years. This article deals in the first instance with the international infatuation for pre-primary education based on both scientific evidence and also international agendas. It then explores the possibilities of putting forward a coherent African response to global demands concerning early childhood education and promoting the inclusion of local cultural content in designing pre-primary educational structures. Finally, the article suggests some principles that might guide international cooperation activities affecting the early childhood sector.

Abstract
Objective
This study aims to investigate the effect of physical violence and serious injury on health-related quality of life in the Australian adult population.

Methods
This study utilised panel data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. HRQoL was measured through the physical component summary (PCS), mental component summary (MCS), and short-form six-dimension utility index (SF-6D) of the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Longitudinal fixed-effect regression models were fitted using 19 waves of the HILDA Survey spanning from 2002 to 2020.

Results
This study found a negative effect of physical violence and serious injury on health-related quality of life. More specifically, Australian adults exposed to physical violence and serious injury exhibited lower levels of health-related quality of life. Who experienced physical violence only had lower MCS (β = −2.786, 95% CI: −3.091, −2.481) and SF-6D (β = −0.0214, 95% CI: −0.0248, −0.0181) scores if switches from not experiencing physical violence and serious injury. Exposed to serious injury had lower PCS (β = −5.103, 95% CI: −5.203, −5.004), MCS (β = −2.363, 95% CI: −2.480, −2.247), and SF-6D (β = −0.0585, 95% CI: −0.0598, −0.0572) score if the adults not experiencing physical violence and serious injury. Further, individuals exposed to both violence and injury had substantially lower PCS (β = -3.60, 95% CI: -4.086, -3.114), MCS (β = −6.027, 95% CI: −6.596, −5.459), and SF-6D (β = −0.0716, 95% CI: −0.0779, −0.0652) scores relative to when the individuals exposed to none.

Conclusion
Our findings indicate that interventions to improve Australian adults’ quality of life should pay particular attention to those who have experienced physical violence and serious injury. Our findings suggest unmet mental health needs for victims of physical violence and serious injuries, which calls for proactive policy interventions that provide psychological and emotional therapy.
The Size and Spatial Extent of Neighborhood Price Impacts of Infill Development: Scale Matters?
Authors: Nygaard Christian A. , Galster George , Glackin Stephen 
Published: August 2022

AbstractInfill investments are argued to mitigate environmental footprints, regenerate places and accommodating population growth, but frequently generate local opposition. However, there is a dearth of knowledge around how different types of infill affect different segments of local property markets, how persistent effects are and how far they reach. Using detailed geocoded infill development activity and sales data, we test the price level and trajectory impacts of five infill types, distinguished by the net scale of additional dwellings, on property prices within five concentric 100-meter rings. Using an adjusted interrupted time-series estimation strategy with locality, property and neighborhood characteristic controls we find that developments that generate a net increase in dwellings of four or less, typically result in an appreciation in the average sales prices of proximate dwellings. Moderate and large-scale developments generate negative price effects, but these effects predominantly affect apartments and townhouses, not the dominant detached house submarket. Over time, amenity effects and local market potential may even have a further positive expectation effect on detached house prices. Infill type differentiation shows that urban densification may result in positive affordability outcome in the apartment submarket, but has the opposite effects in the detached house submarket. Divergent price trajectories also contribute to widening wealth disparities.
Knowledge of art versus artistic knowledge. I. The GAKhN “Encyclopedia of Artistic Terminology” in the context of European intellectual history
Authors: Plotnikov Nikolaj 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIn this first of two articles, I look at the project for the “Encyclopedia of Artistic Terminology” in connection with the idea of a synthesis of the “artistic sciences” as the principal task of the State Academy of Artistic Sciences (GAKhN, 1921–1930) in Moscow. The most important feature of the Academy was the unity of its epistemological conception (the system of artistic sciences) and the institutional structure of the Academy (its “departments,” “sections,” and “laboratories”), which embodied the interdisciplinary intention of uniting the philosophy of art, the artistic sciences, and artistic experimentation. I analyze the connection of the project with the task of “concept formation” in the artistic sciences, which was recognized in European philosophy at the beginning of the twentieth century as the main criterion for scientificity in the human sciences. I also investigate how the Encyclopedia project, developed by Gustav Shpet, took into account previous attempts to systematize aesthetic terminology (in nineteenth-century dictionaries). I show that the project of the “Encyclopedia of Artistic Terminology” was not the sole attempt to create a new dictionary of aesthetic concepts and of the cultural sciences. Similar projects were being developed in the 1920s and 30s in Germany (Erich Rothacker planned to produce Handwörterbuch der gesamten gemeingeisteswissenschaftlichen und kulturphilosophischen Grundbegriffe) and in France (Étienne Souriau published Vocabulaire d’esthétique; see Souriau 2010).

AbstractMany protein families have numerous members listed in databases as allergens; however, some allergen database entries, herein called “orphan allergens”, are members of large families of which all other members are not allergens. These orphan allergens provide an opportunity to assess whether specific structural features render a protein allergenic. Three orphan allergens [Cladosporium herbarum aldehyde dehydrogenase (ChALDH), Alternaria alternata ALDH (AaALDH), and C. herbarum mannitol dehydrogenase (ChMDH)] were recombinantly produced and purified for structure characterization and for clinical skin prick testing (SPT) in mold allergic participants. Examination of the X-ray crystal structures of ChALDH and ChMDH and a homology structure model of AaALDH did not identify any discernable epitopes that distinguish these putative orphan allergens from their non-allergenic protein relatives. SPT results were aligned with ChMDH being an allergen, 53% of the participants were SPT (+). AaALDH did not elicit SPT reactivity above control proteins not in allergen databases (i.e., Psedomonas syringae indole-3-acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and Zea mays ALDH). Although published results showed consequential human IgE reactivity with ChALDH, no SPT reactivity was observed in this study. With only one of these three orphan allergens, ChMDH, eliciting SPT(+) reactions consistent with the protein being included in allergen databases, this underscores the complicated nature of how bioinformatics is used to assess the potential allergenicity of food proteins that could be newly added to human diets and, when needed, the subsequent clinical testing of that bioinformatic assessment.Trial registration number and date of registration AAC-2017-0467, approved as WIRB protocol #20172536 on 07DEC2017 by WIRB-Copernicus (OHRP/FDA Registration #: IRB00000533, organization #: IORG0000432).
