Published: January 2022

AbstractIn Northwestern Europe, Germany, France, the Netherlands, the UK and Belgium constitute the biggest five potato producers, with total potato crop production around 60% of EU-28 production before Brexit. Soil and climate conditions are highly favourable for potato growth in this region. Production is under driving forces of (i) the potato processing industry, particularly in Belgium; (ii) the innovation for fresh potato in the UK, France and Germany; (iii) the leadership of Germany and the Netherlands for starch potato; and (iv) the dominance of the Netherlands for seed production. Based on an industrial agri-food production system, the region has the highest potato yield levels worldwide and developed relevant trade networks for export of seed, fresh and processed potato products in and outside Europe. Conventional and intensive potato production is widespread over the region, whilst organic production started to develop in Germany and France. Whether the coming decades will be as successful as the last ones for sustainable potato production will depend on how the sector and stakeholders of the whole potato value-chain will overcome new issues and challenges. These are mainly soil quality and health conservation, consequences of climate change, increasing bans on the use of plant protection products, tightening environmental standards, food waste reduction and increasing trade tensions hampering the flow of potatoes around the world. After a detailed description of the potato production in the region, this paper contains a SWOT analysis aiming to identify potential solutions to overcome environmental, technical, economic, political and societal issues in the region for sustainable potato production in the coming years and decades.

Authors: Kelly Rosemary , Gordon Peter , Thompson Ruth , Semple Cherith 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Purpose
To identify and review the nature, scope and use of web-based interventions for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC).

Method
A scoping review guided by the methodological framework described by the Joanna Briggs Institute was performed to review empirical studies and websites. Seven electronic databases (CINAHL, Medline, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, PubMed and PsycInfo) were searched from 2010 to 2020, data extracted and synthesised using thematic analysis. The Google search engine was employed, identifying the first 100 websites, using the search term head and neck cancer. Websites meeting eligibility criteria were assessed using the QUEST analysis tool, and descriptively summarised.

Results
Thirteen empirical studies and 32 websites were included. As identified by empirical studies, web-based interventions were developed to provide (1) patient information on HNC and related treatments, (2) advice and support during treatment and (3) management strategies promoting adjustment to life with and beyond HNC. The reviewed websites provided minimal information to aid shared decision-making and facilitate preparedness for treatment, with few utilising patient narratives. Web-based interventions for HNC patients were mainly text based and focused on survivorship.

Conclusions
There is a paucity of theory-based, co-designed web-based interventions using patient narratives.

Implications for Cancer Survivors
As patients increasingly look to the internet for advice and support, healthcare professionals are in a position to provide high-quality web-based interventions. There is an opportunity to rigorously develop a web-based intervention, containing narratives of peoples’ lives before and after HNC treatment, aiding decision-making, preparedness for treatment and self-management.
Mathematical creativity and mathematical giftedness in the primary school age range: an interview study on creating figural patterns
Authors: Assmus Daniela , Fritzlar Torsten 
Published: January 2022

AbstractRelationships between mathematical giftedness and mathematical creativity have been widely studied, but few studies are available for primary school age. For an investigation in this age group, it seems appropriate to use a content area that not only has high relevance for mathematics and special potentials for creativity, but also requires only a little knowledge and is easily accessible. We therefore investigated whether mathematically gifted primary school students differ from non-gifted ones in high creativity in dealing with mathematical patterns and structures. This question was explored in an interview study in which 24 third graders were asked to invent as many different figural patterns as possible, which enabled creative mathematical activity also by combining arithmetic and geometric aspects. A detailed qualitative analysis of the data revealed among other results several types of flexibility concerning the invention of patterns. The selection of students ensured that all participants performed well to very well in regular mathematics classes and that 14 of them could additionally be assumed to be mathematically gifted based on a specific test. This allowed a comparison of both subgroups. Results indicate a high correspondence between mathematical giftedness and mathematical creativity concerning the invention of figural patterns.
Incorporating Sociolinguistic Perspectives in Australian Refugee Credibility Assessments: the Case of CRL18
Authors: Smith-Khan Laura 
Published: January 2022

AbstractCredibility assessments in asylum visa applications have attracted criticism across diverse research fields. This article builds on existing critical examinations by presenting a case study of a successful appeal in the Federal Court of Australia (FCA) which overturned a decision involving one such problematic credibility assessment. The article establishes that credibility assessments often rely on flawed language ideologies and reasoning that transform the asylum seeker into the sole participant responsible for the texts produced in institutional processes. As a contrast, it then explores the FCA decision, analysing the judge’s treatment of three different premises on which the lower-level rejection relied. It demonstrates how, when dealing with each of these premises, the judge’s approach aligns with sociolinguistic scholarship. The case study demonstrates the potential of sociolinguistic awareness to denaturalize the problematic ideologies underlying credibility assessments. However, the article equally acknowledges and discusses the systemic limitations on challenging credibility assessments, due to the narrow scope for judicial review, and the need for professional legal assistance to argue one’s case successfully. The article concludes that while credibility assessments serve to act as a powerful gatekeeping tool to support increasingly restrictive asylum policy, judicial receptiveness of sociolinguistic understandings of communication can sometimes provide an avenue for successful appeals. It thus provides a powerful example of the potential benefits of communicating sociolinguistic research to law students, legal practitioners and decision-makers.
Analysing user daylight preferences in heritage buildings using virtual reality

Published: January 2022

AbstractTechnology has always been creating effective ways to support human decisions. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) has emerged to engage users in a simulated world, and this has gained the interest of a wide variety of users in the heritage industry. A historical case study built in the early 19th century is considered for an adaptive reuse exhibition. The palace is located in Cairo, Egypt, and named after Prince Omar Tosson. The current palace state incorporates a smashed top-lit zone, which is being studied and analyzed for daylighting adequacy. Three simulated distinct optimum skylight configurations are suggested for the redesign where the selection should not be based solely on simulation data, but should consider real-user preferences. Most daylight design criteria are previously based on simulation data that do not necessarily indicate the users’ preferences. But utilizing user interactive tools such as IVR to test daylight redesign options, a whole new dimension is provided. In this study, the VR users’ survey data is statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), where results revealed that the assessment attributes succeeded in reflecting the users’ preferences; which, motivated designers to consider potential users’ daylight preferences in reused spaces. The paper highlights the most significant emotional attributes that provide cost-effective and reliable information concerned with the performance of daylight in IVR before design implementation. This study compares and analyzes the effect of three skylight designs (Cases A, B & C) on the users’ perception before design implementation using (IVR) post-survey. Forty-eight participants have contributed to the study, providing their feedback on six attributes namely: Pleasant, Contrasting, Brightness, Uniform Distribution, Visual Comfort, and Satisfaction. Those attributes are evaluated for the three cases in space using five scale rating values to reveal that the “Pleasant” attribute is most reliable in the study to reflect the users’ preferences for design Case B.

Published: January 2022

AbstractEducation programs for certified palliative care nurses who promote advance care planning (ACP) for cancer patients are important, but not currently available in Japan. This study aimed to develop an educational program of ACP for certified palliative care nurses in Japan and evaluate its effectiveness. A program consisting of four modules was implemented for 60 certified palliative care nurses in the Kyushu, Chugoku, and Shikoku regions. Participants attended one training session, and 39 responded to a survey on changes in ACP practice and difficulties with cancer nursing 3 months after the intervention. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to compare data before and after the intervention. The results obtained showed an increase in dialogue on ACP among patients/families and healthcare professionals (mean before the intervention = 24.49, mean after the intervention = 27.59, p = 0.045), and a significant decrease in the sense of difficulty with knowledge of and skills for ACP (mean before the intervention = 4.85, mean after the intervention = 4.30, p = 0.001). More than 90% of the participants gave positive comments on the evaluation items such as understanding and satisfaction with the educational program and appropriateness of the contents. After attending the training program, participants’ sense of difficulty with their knowledge of and skills for ACP decreased, and their practice of ACP increased. This program may promote the practice of ACP for cancer patients in the future.

The chemical structures of these new compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and MS data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The neuroprotective activities of these isolates were evaluated using an in vitro model of rat adrenal pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell injury induced by corticosterone. At concentrations from 5 to 40 µM, compounds 4 and 6, agarotetrol (9), and 6-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone (17) showed significant protective activities against corticosterone-induced PC12 cell injury (P < 0.001).

A dimensional assessment of small features and lattice structures manufactured by laser powder bed fusion
Authors: López-García Carlos , García-López Erika , Siller Hector R. , Sandoval-Robles Jesús A. , Rodriguez Ciro A. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe understanding of dimensional variations produced by laser powder bed fusion is critical in components with small features and with dimensions close to the inherent limits of the process. In this context, two reference geometries were used: (a) straight walls to quantify dimensional relative error for small features and (b) a latticed neck region of a fatigued specimen (cubic and hexagonal cell design, with design strut sizes of 250 µm, 500 µm, and 1000 µm in cell size). Samples were fabricated out of AISI 316L stainless steel powder with different building orientations. The metrology techniques used were the following: focus variation microscopy, optical microscopy and micro-computed tomography. The straight wall characterization shows that built orientation does not influence dimensional relative error for walls with less than 750 µm. Acceptable dimensional relative errors (~ 2% to ~ 15%) are achieved only in walls with 750 µm in width of more. For lattice structures, the fine struts (250 µm) show a significant level of dimensional relative error (~ 5% to ~ 25%). This additive manufacturing process delivers more consistent dimensions for coarse struts (500 µm), with relative errors between ~ 2% and ~ 4%. All metrology techniques showed the same trends in terms of capturing the dimensional variations for fine and coarse struts.
Football Fans in the “Südkurve”: An Escape from the Pressure to Singularize?
Authors: Reichertz Jo 
Published: January 2022

AbstractWith remarkable regularity, escalation processes in soccer stadiums lead to violence between police, private security guards, and soccer fans. This article examines the question of how this happens and what it means. In a consideration of Reckwitz’s thesis of the society of singularities, data from participant observation, interviews, and video analysis is examined in order to address the question of whether going to soccer games can be understood as a temporary break from the compulsion to individualize or singularize. In addition, the article develops the thesis that the escalation of processes of violence does not constitute the collapse of social order, but rather a predictable process in which all participants consistently cooperate (Collins). Through ordered togetherness and opposition, a common ritual (Durkheim and Turner) takes place, an always precarious walk up to the limits of what is socially acceptable, which also leads to the renewal of the social. Going to soccer stadiums, so my thesis, can be understood as testing the boundaries of the socially acceptable.

Abstract
The paper presents a comparison of microhardness, fatigue and high temperature corrosion of Inconel 740H nickel alloy in its as-received state and the same material with nitrided surface layers. The nitrided layers were produced using traditional glow discharge nitriding (specimens nitriding on the cathode potential) and an active screen (specimens nitriding at the plasma potential). A microstructure of the layers was characterized through the scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Mechanical properties of the nitrided Inconel 740H alloy were examined using microhardness measurements and standard fatigue tests. It was found that Inconel 740H with a nitrided surface exhibited an improved fatigue response of 50 MPa in the whole range of stress amplitudes from 350 to 650 MPa and almost 325% increase of hardness for plasma modified surface and 250% for cathode modified surface. Additionally, the application of cathode nitriding enhanced the corrosion resistance of the alloy in question and effectively protected it against a high temperature oxidation.

A Defense Of Explanation-First Truthmaking: Some Thoughts On Jamin Asay’s A Theory Of Truthmaking
Authors: Rodriguez-Pereyra Gonzalo 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Jamin Asay’s A Theory of Truthmaking is one of the most important books on truthmaking, full of important ideas from beginning to end. One of the most interesting parts of the book is Asay's attack on the explanation-first truthmaking. Explanation-first truthmaking is the explanatory project of explaining why truths are true. This is in contrast with ontology-first truthmaking, the project defended by Asay, and which is the project of answering the fundamental ontological question “What is there?”. Asay thinks explanation-first truthmaking should be abandoned because (a) it is problematic and (b) it offers no benefits over those of ontology-first truthmaking. In this brief paper, I argue that he has not established the problematicity of explanation-first truthmaking, and that explanation-first truthmaking offers benefits over ontology-first truthmaking.
Spectral alignment of correlated Gaussian matrices
Authors: Ganassali Luca , Lelarge Marc , Massoulié Laurent 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
In this paper we analyze a simple spectral method (EIG1) for the problem of matrix alignment, consisting in aligning their leading eigenvectors: given two matrices A and B, we compute two corresponding leading eigenvectors

$v_1$

and

$v'_{\!\!1}$

. The algorithm returns the permutation

$\hat{\pi}$

such that the rank of coordinate

$\hat{\pi}(i)$

in

$v_1$

and that of coordinate i in

$v'_{\!\!1}$

(up to the sign of

$v'_{\!\!1}$

) are the same.
We consider a model of weighted graphs where the adjacency matrix A belongs to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of size

$N \times N$

, and B is a noisy version of A where all nodes have been relabeled according to some planted permutation

$\pi$

; that is,

$B= \Pi^T (A+\sigma H) \Pi $

, where

$\Pi$

is the permutation matrix associated with

$\pi$

and H is an independent copy of A. We show the following zero–one law: with high probability, under the condition

$\sigma N^{7/6+\epsilon} \to 0$

for some

$\epsilon>0$

, EIG1 recovers all but a vanishing part of the underlying permutation

$\pi$

, whereas if

$\sigma N^{7/6-\epsilon} \to \infty$

, this method cannot recover more than o(N) correct matches.
This result gives an understanding of the simplest and fastest spectral method for matrix alignment (or complete weighted graph alignment), and involves proof methods and techniques which could be of independent interest.
Reptamsassia n. gen. (Amsassiaceae n. fam.; calcareous algae) from the Lower Ordovician (Floian) of western Newfoundland, and the earliest symbiotic intergrowth of modular species
Authors: Lee Dong-Jin , Elias Robert J. , Pratt Brian R. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractModular coral-like fossils occur in thrombolitic reefal beds at two stratigraphic levels within the Lower Ordovician (Floian) Barbace Cove Member of the Boat Harbour Formation, in the St. George Group of western Newfoundland. They are here assigned to Reptamsassia n. gen.; R. divergens n. gen. n. sp. is present at both levels, whereas a comparatively small-module species, R. minuta n. gen. n. sp., is confined to the upper level. Reptamsassia n. gen. resembles the Ordovician genus Amsassia in its phacelocerioid structure, back-to-back walls of adjoining modules, module increase by longitudinal fission involving infoldings of the wall, tabula-like structures that are continuous with the vertical module wall, and calices with concave-up bottoms. The new genus is differentiated by its encrusting habit, modules with highly variable growth directions and shapes throughout skeletal growth, and modules that may separate slightly or diverge from one another following fission. Together, Amsassia and Reptamsassia n. gen. are considered to represent a distinct group of calcareous algae, the Amsassiaceae n. fam., which possibly belongs to the green algae. The Early Ordovician origination of Amsassia followed by Reptamsassia n. gen. contributed to the beginning of the rise in diversity on a global scale and in reefal settings during the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. Reptamsassia minuta n. gen. n. sp. was an obligate symbiont that colonized living areas on its host, R. divergens n. gen. n. sp., with isolated modules of R. divergens n. gen. n. sp. able to persist in the resulting intergrowth with R. minuta n. gen. n. sp. This is the earliest known symbiotic intergrowth of macroscopic modular species, exemplifying the development of ecologic specialization and ecosystem complexity in Early Ordovician reefs.
The Phanerozoic aftermath of the Cambrian information revolution: sensory and cognitive complexity in marine faunas
Authors: Hsieh Shannon , Plotnick Roy E. , Bush Andrew M. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe Cambrian information revolution describes how biotically driven increases in signals, sensory abilities, behavioral interactions, and landscape spatial complexity drove a rapid increase in animal cognition concurrent with the Cambrian radiation. Here, we compare cognitive complexity in Cambrian and post-Cambrian marine ecosystems, documenting changes in animal cognition after the initial Cambrian increase. In a comparison of Cambrian and post-Cambrian Lagerstätten, we find no strong trend in the proportion of genera possessing two types of macroscopic sense organs (eyes and chemoreceptive organs such as antennae, feelers, or nostrils). There is also no trend in general nervous system complexity. These results suggest that sophisticated information processing was already common in early Phanerozoic ecosystems, comparable with behavioral evidence from the trace fossil record. Most taxa capable of complex information processing in Cambrian ecosystems were panarthropods, whereas mollusks and chordates made up larger proportions afterward. In both the Cambrian and the present day, ecological occupation of diverse habitat tiers and feeding modes is possible with even simple nervous systems, but ecological lifestyles requiring rapid, regular movement are almost exclusively associated within brain-bearing taxa, suggesting a connection with fast information-processing abilities and bodily responses. The overall rise in cognitive sophistication in the Cambrian was likely a unique event in the history of life, although some lineages subsequently developed more elaborate sensory systems and/or larger brains.
