Not all poor are equal: the perpetuation of poverty through blaming those who have been poor all their lives
Authors: Alcañiz-Colomer Joaquín , Moya Miguel , Valor-Segura Inmaculada 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe economic crisis of 2008 severely affected the welfare states. As the economic situation of a country worsens, the resources that the public administration can devote to improve the situation of the people also decrease, endangering the advancement of those in a disadvantaged situation. People who have always lived in poverty, besides having their opportunities reduced, also face negative public views that affect the perceived legitimacy of such public aid, which can in turn be a mechanism for perpetuating their situation. Two studies (N = 252 and N = 266) analyse how a person in persistent poverty is perceived compared to a person in poverty due to the crisis—a circumstantial poverty. We also study some feasible mechanisms underlying this different perception, as well as their effects on attitudes toward social protection policies. In Study 1, results indicated that people showed more favourable attitudes toward social protection policies when they perceived someone in poverty due to the crisis, compared to the target who had been in poverty all his/her life. Individualistic attributions for poverty mediated this effect: when people think of someone in persistent poverty, they make more individualistic attributions concerning their situation, which leads to worse attitudes toward social protection policies. Identification with the group moderates this relation. Furthermore, Study 2 showed that participants perceive people who are in poverty because of economic crisis as more deserving of help than people who have always been poor. Some theoretical and practical implications for intergroup relations and public policy are discussed.

Abstract
To identify plasma proteins that mirror current and predict future remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI), we retrospectively interrogated plasma proteomes of day (D)0 control (n = 16) and D3 MI (n = 15) from C57BL/6 J mice (20 ± 1 months). A total of 165 unique proteins were correlated with cardiac physiology variables. We prospectively tested the hypothesis that candidates identified retrospectively would predict cardiac physiology at an extended timepoint (D7 MI) in a second cohort of mice (n = 4 ± 1 months). We also examined human plasma from healthy controls (n = 18) and patients 48 h after presentation for MI (n = 41). Retrospectively, we identified 5 strong reflectors of remodeling (all r ≥ 0.60 and p < 0.05). Prospectively, ApoA1, IgA, IL-17E, and TIMP-1 mirrored current and predicted future remodeling. In humans, cytokine-cytokine receptor signaling was the top enriched KEGG pathway for all candidates. In summary, we identified plasma proteins that serve as useful prognostic indicators of adverse remodeling and progression to heart failure.

Sewage Sludge Management at District Level: Reduction and Nutrients Recovery via Hydrothermal Carbonization
Authors: Scrinzi D. , Ferrentino R. , Baù E. , Fiori L. , Andreottola G. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this study, two scenarios of a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) are presented, which include the integration of the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process into the sludge line as a post-treatment of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process. The objective of the simulation is to investigate the performances of AD + HTC treatment to reduce sludge production and improve nutrient and energy recovery. For this purpose, the scheme of an under-construction WWTP was considered, named Trento 3 (Trento, Italy) and with a treatment capacity of 300,000 PE. In the first scenario, the HTC process was fed with thickened sludge from the Trento 3 WWTP, while in the second scenario, dewatered sludge from other local WWTPs was also used as feedstock for the HTC process. Both scenarios allowed to obtain a considerable sludge reduction ranging from 70 to 75% with a notably increase in the biogas production up to 47%, due to the recycling of HTC liquor (HTCL) to the anaerobic digester. Considering nutrients recovery, all the phosphorus and nitrogen present in the HTCL could be used for struvite precipitation with an average yearly gain of 1 million euros. Moreover, the introduction of HTC in the Trento 3 WWTP could allow a reduction in the sludge management costs of up to 2 M€/year.

Authors: Hu Yang-Yang , Ma Chen-Chao , Ai Kai-Xing 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor of digestive tract with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) being the main histological subtype. This study aimed to identify potential hub gene associated with the pathophysiology of ESCC through bioinformatics analysis and experiment validation.

Methods
Three microarray datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by GEO2R tool. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed to predict the potential functions of DEGs. Nine hub genes were identified using protein–protein interaction (PPI) network and Cytoscape software. We selected RAD51-associated protein 1 (RAD51AP1) for further research because of its poor prognosis and it has not been sufficiently studied in ESCC. The effects of RAD51AP1 on proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of ESCC cells were determined by in vitro functional assays.

Results
RAD51AP1 expression was significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues compared with normal tissues by using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. High expression of RAD51AP1 was associated with worse survival in ESCC patients. RAD51AP1 expression was positively associated with the enrichment of Th2 cells and T helper cells. Furthermore, CCK-8 and colony formation assays showed knockdown of RAD51AP1 inhibited the proliferation of ESCC cells. Flow cytometry analysis indicated knockdown of RAD51AP1 induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in ESCC cells. Transwell assay revealed knockdown of RAD51AP1 suppressed the migration and invasion of ESCC cells.

Conclusions
Finally, our results demonstrated that RAD51AP1 silencing significantly inhibited cell proliferation and invasion in ESCC, thereby highlighting its potential as a novel target for ESCC treatment.
Determination of notch factors for welded T-joints based on numerical analysis and metamodeling
Authors: Oswald Markus , Neuhäusler Josef , Frey Moritz , Rother Klemens 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe effective notch stress approach to estimate fatigue strength of welded components requires stress concentration factors of an idealized weld geometry using fictitious notch radii. This paper covers the estimation of those stress concentration factors for welded T-joints in different configurations. In comparison with different existing estimations, new methods using metamodeling by (a) the response surface method based on polynomial regression using coupling terms and (b) based on artificial neural networks are presented. The methods were trained by a large database of reference results obtained by finite element analysis. Besides higher quality of prognosis, the new metamodels enhance the range of allowable parameters of the T-joints compared to existing ones. The resulting methods provide means of obtaining stress concentration factors fast and of sufficient quality which could also be embedded in more complex applications as programmed solutions.
Sliding wear behavior of cold metal transfer cladded Stellite 12 hardfacings on martensitic stainless steel

Published: October 2022

Abstract Cold metal transfer (CMT) welding technique was used in the manufacturing of hypoeutectic carbide-type Co-based Stellite 12 hardfacings on martensitic stainless steel. It was discovered that the CMT process is capable of producing relatively thick (> 2.5 mm) low diluted single-layer coatings with cored Stellite 12 wire without cracks and pores. These coatings were investigated using microscopy (optical and scanning electron microscopy), X-ray diffraction, and hardness measurements. The high melting point chromium and tungsten particles inside the cored wire were relatively large and therefore remained unmelted in the clad layers. Self-mated sliding wear tests were performed using a pin-on-disc tribometer at room temperature and at 300 °C to determine the wear resistance and friction of the coatings. The coefficients of friction were relatively similar (~ 0.35) at both temperatures. Differences were exhibited in the ~ 40% greater loss of material at high temperature. The wear performance of the CMT clad Stellite 12 coatings did not, however, reach the wear performance of self-mated laser clad Stellite 6 reference material. CMT hardfacing was finally successfully demonstrated on a ring-shaped component.
Improving Orbital Uncertainty Realism Through Covariance Determination in GEO

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe reliability of the uncertainty characterization, also known as uncertainty realism, is of the uttermost importance for Space Situational Awareness (SSA) services. Among the different sources of uncertainty related to the orbits of Resident Space Objects (RSOs), the uncertainty of dynamic models is one of the most relevant ones, although it is not always included in orbit determination processes. A classical approach to account for these sources of uncertainty is the consider parameters theory, which consists in including parameters in the underlying dynamical models whose variance aims to represent the uncertainty of the system. However, realistic variances of these consider parameters are not known a-priori. This work presents a method to infer the variance of the consider parameters, based on the distribution of the Mahalanobis distance of the orbital differences between predicted and estimated orbits, which theoretically shall follow a $$\chi ^2$$

distribution under Gaussian assumption. This paper presents results in a simulated scenario focusing on Geostationary (GEO) regimes. The effectiveness and traceability of the uncertainty sources is assessed via covariance realism metrics.

Published: October 2022

AbstractIn order to analyze the micro pore structure characteristics of low-permeability glutenite reservoirs more intuitively and accurately, µ-CT scanning imaging technology is used to evaluate the development characteristics of pores, fractures and high-density interstitial materials in the three-dimensional core space of samples, and the rock pore structure is analyzed from the perspective of image gray, homogeneity and pore throat connectivity. According to the maximum sphere algorithm, a digital core pore network model is extracted and established, and the probability distribution characteristics of pore radius, throat radius, pore throat ratio and core pore throat coordination number of different rock samples are studied. The results show that the reservoir space of the samples in the study area is dominated by dissolution pores and micro fractures, with pore radius ranging from 0.1 to 10 μm, throat radius from 0.1 to 7 μm, pore throat ratio from 0 to 4, and coordination number from 0 to 7. The overall pore throat ratio, throat radius and poor throat connectivity are the main reasons for the low core permeability in the study area. It is found that the 3D digital core technology can more accurately evaluate the internal heterogeneity of rocks, and the calculated pore structure parameters include both connected pore information and isolated pore information. Compared with conventional mercury injection and nuclear magnetic resonance, the 3D digital core technology has obvious advantages in the evaluation of rock micro pore structure.

AbstractLncPheDB (https://www.lncphedb.com/) is a systematic resource of genome-wide long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)-phenotypes associations for multiple species. It was established to display the genome-wide lncRNA annotations, target genes prediction, variant-trait associations, gene-phenotype correlations, lncRNA-phenotype correlations, and the similar non-coding regions of the queried sequence in multiple species. LncPheDB sorted out a total of 203,391 lncRNA sequences, 2000 phenotypes, and 120,271 variants of nine species (Zea mays L., Gossypium barbadense L., Triticum aestivum L., Lycopersicon esculentum Mille, Oryza sativa L., Hordeum vulgare L., Sorghum bicolor L., Glycine max L., and Cucumis sativus L.). By exploring the relationship between lncRNAs and the genomic position of variants in genome-wide association analysis, a total of 68,862 lncRNAs were found to be related to the diversity of agronomic traits. More importantly, to facilitate the study of the functions of lncRNAs, we analyzed the possible target genes of lncRNAs, constructed a blast tool for performing similar fragmentation studies in all species, linked the pages of phenotypic studies related to lncRNAs that possess similar fragments and constructed their regulatory networks. In addition, LncPheDB also provides a user-friendly interface, a genome visualization platform, and multi-level and multi-modal convenient data search engine. We believe that LncPheDB plays a crucial role in mining lncRNA-related plant data.
From Project Bluestone to Operation Soteria Bluestone: An Academic-Police Collaboration
Authors: Stanko Elizabeth A. , Crew Sarah 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe UK Home Office commissioned a government review of the criminal justice response to rape and serious sexual offences in March 2019 to explore for adult offences criminal justice outcomes, such as the proportion of cases being charged, prosecuted, and convicted in England and Wales. The report boldly concluded that ‘too many rape victims do not receive the justice they deserve’ (George and Ferguson in: Review into the criminal justice system response to adult rape and serious sexual offences across England and Wales: Research report, HMG, 2021, p 3). Launching Operation Soteria as a response to this review, the UK Home Office pledged to increase the number of rape cases making it to court. This contribution is a policy paper which was developed by capturing reflections from [Professor Betsy Stanko captured by reflections from Sarah Crew, and herself—denoted as S below], Chief Constable, Avon and Somerset Police, National Police Chiefs Council Lead for the policing of Adult Rape and Serious Sexual Offences England and Wales, and [Professor Betsy Stanko captured by reflections from Sarah Crew, and herself—denoted as B below], Strategic Advisor and Academic Lead, Project Bluestone and Operation Soteria Bluestone. They consider how this approach to improving the justice response to rape came about, bringing together academics and police forces across the country.
Contesting Consumerism with a Circular Economy?
Authors: Ortega Alvarado Isaac Arturo , Pettersen Ida Nilstad , Berker Thomas 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe circular economy (CE) concept has recently entered the public discourse. A CE should contest the reproduction of a so-called linear economy. However, it is largely promoted as a normative top-down fix for business models and waste management. A branch of CE research calls for critical revisions of the concept to support the integration of social aspects. A related shortcoming is the lack of definition of the change that CE can bring about. Two research questions guide the work presented in this article: (1) What should be included in a socio-cultural and institutional framing to study CE? (2) What could leverage an alternative CE? We address the first question by proposing practice-driven institutionalism as a relevant perspective, focusing on studying consumption practices — practical engagements and alternative logics. We further apply a practice-driven institutional framework to an empirical study of cases from sources in a city in Norway, where consumption and production practices are highly embedded in consumerism. For the second question, we describe consumerism and its institutional dimension as the backdrop against which practical engagements are negotiated. Finally, we identify aspects of alternative logics bundled with these practical engagements. In conclusion, the article proposes a practice-driven institutional approach to socio-culturally frame CE and to identify grammars of practice that can leverage change that does not rehearse consumerism. In the specific case of our study, we highlight contextualizing use-value through social relations as a critical part of an alternative CE.

Authors: Yuan Shijing , You Maolin 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
The COVID-19 outbreak has caused widespread psychological distress to Chinese college students. To explore the beneficial psychological effects of physical activity, this study accessed the relationship of Physical Activity (PA) and Subjective Well-being (SWB) among Chinese college students during the pandemic.

Methods
A total of 1198 college students (aged between 17 and 40) from 8 universities in Wuhan, China, volunteered to finish the online questionnaire survey from February 17 to 20, 2020. General Well-Being Schedule (GWBS) was used to evaluate SWB, and Physical Activity Rating Scale-3 (PARS-3) was used to measure PA. The Mann–Whitney U test, χ2 test, t test, and analysis of variance were used to compare the differences between groups based on different data types. A multi-factor linear regression analysis was performed on the factors affecting college students' participation in physical activity during the pandemic. Differences were considered statistically significant when p < .05.

Results
It found that: (1) The quality of physical activity during COVID-19 significantly and positively predicted subjective well-being (B = 2.512, p < .001), indicating that physical activity can effectively alleviate adverse mental health effects caused by the pandemic. (2) The pandemic has had a greater impact on the mental health of specific groups (such as seniors and rural college students). Supporting and encouraging them to participate in a certain level of sports activities can improve their subjective well-being, which is helpful for countering the pandemic’s adverse effects. (3) People should be encouraged to participate in sports at moderate or high levels.

Conclusion
PA can effectively alleviate the negative psychological impact of the pandemic. In general, during major public health emergencies, people should be supported and encouraged to regularly participate in physical activities at moderate or higher levels, to improve their subjective well-being, and maintain positive anti-pandemic attitudes and behavior.
Analytic Approximate Solution of the Extended Blasius Equation with Temperature-Dependent Viscosity
Authors: Khanfer Ammar , Bougoffa Lazhar , Bougouffa Smail 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAn explicit approximate solution is obtained for the extended Blasius equation subject to its well-known classical boundary conditions, where the viscosity coefficient is assumed to be positive and temperature-dependent, which arises in several important boundary layer problems in fluid dynamics. This problem extends a previous problem by Cortell (Appl Math Comput 170:706–710, 2005) when the viscosity is constant, in which a numerical solution was obtained. A comparison with other numerical solutions demonstrates that our approximate solution shows an enhancement over some of the existing numerical techniques. Moreover, highly accurate estimates for the skin-friction were calculated and found to be in good agreement with the numerical values obtained by Howarth (Proc R Soc A: Math Phys Eng Sci 164(919):547–579, 1938), Töpfer (Z Math Phys 60:397–398, 1912), and Cortell [34] when the viscosity is equal to 1, and when it is equal to 2.

AbstractTerminal value problems of fractional linear systems with non-homegenous terms are investigated in this paper for the first time. They are equivalent to a second kind weakly singular Volterra–Fredholm integral system. Picard’s method is used to obtain a closed form solution. The exact solution is checked to satisfy the terminal value problem. Numerical solutions are provided in comparison with truncated exact ones.
Sibling Rivalry on the Left and Labor Struggles in Colombia During the 1940s
Authors: Green W. John 
Published: October 2022

AbstractOn the Colombian Left during the 1940s, little differentiated the rank and file of the Communist party from the left wing of the Liberal party. Individuals commonly moved back and forth between the two groups. Animosity was rampant among leaders, however, as shown by the clashes between the principal compañeros and Jorge Eliécer Gaitán's left-Liberal populist mobilization. As this rivalry played out in the Communist strongholds of the union movement, it became apparent that a large portion of the organized working class (perhaps a majority) supported Gaitán even though their leaders dismissed him as a fascist. Workers, organized and unorganized, clearly demonstrated their belief that Gaitanismo was a radical movement of change despite the fact that it arose within the traditional party system.
Hygiene and “The Indian Problem”: Ethnicity and Medicine in Bolivia, 1910–1920
Authors: Zulawski Ann 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn the first decades of the twentieth century, Bolivian intellectuals and politicians debated how the country's Indian population should be incorporated into social and political life as the nation became increasingly integrated internally and forged stronger links to the world market. Public health was central to this discussion because of elite fears of contagion due to greater contact between Indians and non-Indians and the realization that if Indians were to be productive members of society, then their physical well-being had to be considered. This study examines the proposals of two Bolivian doctors, Jaime Mendoza and Nestor Morales, for improving the health of the native population in the context of the larger national debate about ethnicity and citizenship.
