Independent origins of a novel atympanic middle ear system within Chamaeleonidae
Authors: Olroyd Savannah L. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe evolution of the vertebrate ear is a complicated story of convergence, co‐option, loss of function, and occasional regaining of said function. An incredible variety of structures has been adopted as sound receptors, but only chameleons are known to have a bony airborne sound receiver. In some chameleons, the pterygoid bone captures sound vibrations and relays them to the inner ear via a connection to the extracolumella. The distribution of this unique hearing system has not been examined across Chamaeleonidae. Here, I report on dissections on 12 species across four genera and describe their middle ear anatomy for the first time. Half of these species were found to have a link between their extracolumella and pterygoid, and ancestral state reconstruction supports four independent acquisitions of this novel sound‐conduction pathway. Species with this pathway tend to have a gular pouch, which seems to produce biotremors and possibly airborne sound, suggesting that this hearing system plays some role in intraspecific communication. Three species were also μ‐CT scanned using enhanced contrast to investigate differences in the musculature surrounding the middle ear cavity. In species with a middle ear connected to the pterygoid, the muscles directly lateral to the pterygoid insert farther anterior onto the mandible, which may serve to minimize dampening of vibrations on the pterygoid. Together, these data suggest that the ear plays a more significant role in the lives of some chameleons than has been recognized, and that parallelism is common in the evolution of the ear.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of video self‐modeling (VSM) for teaching gun safety skills to five children with developmental disabilities. In situ assessments were conducted across all phases. Following baseline, participants were filmed engaging in the safety skills and then viewed the video of their performance. If a participant did not engage in the safety skills following VSM, they participated in in situ training (IST). The results showed that one participant engaged in the safety skills after participating in filming, three participants engaged in the skills after viewing the self‐modeling video, and one participant engaged in the skills following IST. The results are consistent with research showing the effectiveness of VSM for teaching other skills to children with disabilities.
Medication non‐adherence as a cause of apixaban failure in venous thromboembolism: The importance of pharmacist medication reconciliation
Authors: Jethwa Trisha E , Moran Kaitlin M , Maniaci Michael J 
Published: February 2022

AbstractVenous thromboembolism is often treated with direct oral anticoagulants. In order for direct oral anticoagulants to be effective, patients must adhere to a specific dosing strategy. We report a case of apixaban failure, the clinical workup that ensued, and the eventual discovery of unsuccessful medication adherence as the cause.
Microstructural and mechanical properties of geopolymers based on brick scrap and fly ash
Authors: Kugler Felix , Fehn Thomas , Sandner Maximilian , Krcmar Wolfgang , Teipel Ulrich 
Published: February 2022

AbstractIn the present work, the influence of increasing brick scrap additions on the setting behavior and material properties of fly ash‐based geopolymers is investigated. The geopolymers produced are tested for their compressive strengths, bulk densities, and thermal conductivities, among other properties. Both the starting materials and the produced geopolymers are also investigated by infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction analysis, and scanning electron microscopy to show the relationship between the solidification behavior and the resulting material properties. The investigations show that brick scrap is very suitable as a matrix material for geopolymer production. Increasing brick scrap additions lead, among other things, to a reduction in bulk density, thermal conductivity and compressive strength.

Arthropods on imported plant products: Volumes predict general trends while contextual details enhance predictive power

Published: February 2022

AbstractAgricultural biosecurity interventions are aimed at minimizing introductions of harmful non‐native organisms to new areas via agricultural trade. To prioritize such interventions, historical data on interceptions have been used to elucidate which factors determine the likelihood that a particular import is carrying a harmful organism. Here we use an interception data set of arthropod contaminants recorded on plant imports arriving in South Africa from 2005 to 2019, comprising 13,566 samples inspected for arthropod contaminants, of which 4902 were positive for the presence of at least one arthropod. We tested 29 predictor variables that have previously been used to explain variation in rates of detection and three variables describing possible sources of additional variation and grouped these into six mutually exclusive “factor classes.” We used boosted regression trees as a non‐parametric stochastic machine‐learning method to build models for each factor class and interactions between them. We explored the influence of these variables with data split either randomly or chronologically. While we identified some specific patterns that could be explained post‐hoc by historical events, only inspected volumes were reliably correlated with detection of arthropod contaminants across the whole data set. However, inspected volumes could not predict future interceptions of arthropods, which instead relied on contextual factors such as country, crop or year of import. This suggests that, although certain factors may be important in certain circumstances or for particular crops or commodities, there is little general predictive power in the current data. Instead, an idiographic approach would be most beneficial in biosecurity to ascertain the details of why a particular pest arrived on a particular pathway and how it might move (and be stopped) in future.
Life Cycle Assessment support to environmental ambitions of EU policies and the Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Sanyé-Mengual Esther , Sala Serenella 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ask for a more holistic approach to production and consumption along value chains. The role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in supporting policy design and monitoring is then pivotal to achieving policy ambitions. This paper explores the potential support of LCA to EU (European Union) policies and the SDGs, considering also the Planetary Boundaries (PBs) framework. The assessment focuses on (a) the relationship between LCA, the SDGs, and the European Green Deal; (b) the potential use of LCA in support of the monitoring of SDG12 and the environmental impacts of production and consumption; and (c) the relevance of an absolute sustainability dimension, including the integration of the PBs framework in EU policy and the SDGs. Results highlight that the interlinkages between LCA, EU policy, SDGs, and the PBs can be classified as existing, missing, or existing depending on the LCA framework. In general, LCA was identified to strengthen and further enable EU policies toward achieving the SDGs while remaining within the physical limits of the planet. This is because LCA can be a pivotal method to quantify and assess environmental impacts of value chains and consumption patterns, enabling the evaluation of their implication on environment-related SDGs and assessing them against the PBs. The example of the Consumption Footprint highlights that the concept and Life Cycle Impact Assessment method of an LCA framework can determine the linkage among EU policy, SDGs, and the PBs.

KEY POINTS
Life cycle assessment might have a crucial role in addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in an integrated manner, linking the modeling of production and consumption with the environmental related goals of the SDGs. Qualitative interlinkages among SDGs could be quantified by implementing a life cycle assessment based framework. Life cycle based indicators resulting from combining product characteristics with consumption intensities are pivotal to monitor evolution of impacts over time.
Mapping oncogenic protein interactions for precision medicine

Published: February 2022

AbstractNormal protein‐protein interactions (normPPIs) occur with high fidelity to regulate almost every physiological process. In cancer, this highly organised and precisely regulated network is disrupted, hijacked or reprogrammed resulting in oncogenic protein‐protein interactions (oncoPPIs). OncoPPIs, which can result from genomic alterations, are a hallmark of many types of cancers. Recent technological advances in the field of mass spectrometry (MS)‐based interactomics, structural biology and drug discovery have prompted scientists to identify and characterise oncoPPIs. Disruption of oncoPPI interfaces has become a major focus of drug discovery programs and has resulted in the use of PPI‐specific drugs clinically. However, due to several technical hurdles, studies to build a reference oncoPPI map for various cancer types have not been undertaken. Therefore, there is an urgent need for experimental workflows to overcome the existing challenges in studying oncoPPIs in various cancers and to build comprehensive reference maps. Here, we discuss the important hurdles for characterising oncoPPIs and propose a three‐phase multidisciplinary workflow to identify and characterise oncoPPIs. Systematic identification of cancer‐type‐specific oncogenic interactions will spur new opportunities for PPI‐focused drug discovery projects and precision medicine.

AbstractIntravascular large B‐cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of B‐cell lymphoma characterized by aggressive disease progression with a high incidence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement. We retrospectively analyzed 16 patients with de novo IVLBCL treated at our hospital between 2004 and 2018 with either standard therapy plus CNS‐directed therapy or standard therapy alone. CNS‐directed therapy was associated with a significantly better 2‐year CNS‐free survival (100% vs. 63%, p = 0.0191), despite no significant effects on progression‐free or overall survival. Further studies should assess CNS‐focused treatment in patients with IVLBCL with or without primary CNS involvement.

Published: February 2022

AbstractWater resources systems in arid regions are sensitive to climate change, which critically impacts the water cycle. In this study, we applied historical hydrometeorological data, CMIP5 data, and a large‐scale hydrological model (Community Land Model–Distributed Time‐Variant Gain Model [CLM–DTVGM]) to study the impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle (i.e., runoff, actual evapotranspiration (ETa), and terrestrial water storage [TWS]) under different scenarios at the Aksu River basin (ARB) located in the arid region of northwest China. The primary findings of this study: (a) As the determination coefficient (R2) and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NSE) reached desirable levels (R2 ≥ 0.583, NSE ≥ 0.371, and root‐mean‐square error ≤ 155.727), the CLM–DTVGM achieved a better simulation of runoff in the ARB; under climate change, the runoff depth in the irrigation area became shallower and followed a decreasing trend, with a minimum depth of 0.5 mm and a significant decreasing trend of −8 mm·a−1. (b) Along with changes in the precipitation and temperature of the baseline period (i.e., 1980–2010), runoff, ETa, and TWS were predicted to change significantly in future scenarios. (c) Climate change significantly impacted the historical runoff from the Shaliguilanke and Xiehela hydrological stations, with correlation coefficients larger than 0.9; however, the runoff from the Alaer hydrological station was not affected. However, runoff, ETa, and TWS in the ARB were very closely correlated with climate change in the future scenarios, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.9. Related research in the future would be important for guiding the sustainable development of the ARB.
Length of growing season is modulated by Northern Hemisphere jet stream variability

Published: February 2022

AbstractAtmospheric circulations create regions of similar climate at the land surface across the Northern Hemisphere's mid‐latitudes, while climate controls on plant phenology phases (phenophases) can vary. Here, we quantify and classify the seasonal impacts of the Northern Hemisphere jet stream (NHJ) on vegetation phenophases using novel NHJ indices, designed to characterize latitudinal jet stream position, and satellite‐based vegetation phenology products of length, start, and end of season (LOS, SOS, EOS). We composited years of northern and southern NHJ anomalies in April–May and October–November from LOS, SOS, and EOS and classified ecosystem response based on: latitudinal location relative to the climatological mean (CM) latitude of the NHJ; climate; and land cover type. For nearly a third of the NH, LOS was modulated by NHJ position. The magnitude and direction of NHJ influence on LOS was dependent on the season of NHJ position anomaly. In spring, a northern NHJ, which typically corresponded with warmer temperatures, led to earlier SOS and longer LOS, especially in cold systems north of the NHJ's CM. Surprisingly, in fall, a northern NHJ led to shorter LOS and earlier EOS for most systems, which may be due to the interaction of temperature and water availability in this season when water is critical for sustained growth. Southern NHJ corresponded with similar but opposite effects on phenophases. Crop land cover was mixed in LOS response to NHJ, reflecting the added impact of land‐use and management. The NHJ can synchronize phenology across apparently disparate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Rather than simply lengthening or shortening seasons as the NHJ moves northward or southward, the influence of the NHJ on phenology at a given location depends on whether the NHJ is limiting resources—which vary relative to the climatological mean. We find that complex patterns in phenology emerge from a relatively simple contingency.
Cut‐conditions on sets of multiple‐alternative inferences
Authors: Hodes Harold T. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractI prove that the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem is equivalent, under some weak set‐theoretic assumptions, to what I will call the Cut‐for‐Formulas to Cut‐for‐Sets Theorem: for a set F and a binary relation ⊢ on , if ⊢ is finitary, monotonic, and satisfies cut for formulas, then it also satisfies cut for sets. I deduce the CF/CS Theorem from the Ultrafilter Theorem twice; each proof uses a different order‐theoretic variant of the Tukey‐Teichmüller Lemma. I then discuss relationships between various cut‐conditions in the absence of finitariness or of monotonicity.
Effect of a Dicycloaliphatic Epoxide on the Thermo‐Mechanical Properties of Alkyl, Aryl Epoxide Monomers Cured via UV‐Induced Cationic Frontal Polymerization
Authors: Malik Muhammad Salman , Wolfahrt Markus , Sangermano Marco , Schlögl Sandra 
Published: February 2022

AbstractRadical induced cationic frontal polymerization (RICFP) is a promising route to achieve rapid curing of epoxy‐based thermosets, requiring only a localized exposure with UV light. In the presence of a diaryliodonium‐based photoinitiator and a thermal radical initiator, a self‐sustaining hot front cures epoxide monomer via a cationic mechanism. However, the cationic polymerization of diglycidyl ether derivatives is slow (in comparison with other epoxides with higher reactivity) and, as a consequence, frontal polymerization is sluggish because the heat loss is not compensated by the rate of heat release. Cycloaliphatic epoxies possess a higher ring strain than diglycidyl ether derivatives and can be blended with the latter to increase its rate of frontal polymerization. In the current work, a comprehensive study on the influence of 3,4 epoxycyclohexylmethyl 3,4‐epoxycyclohexane carboxylate (CE) on cure kinetics, viscosity, front velocity, mechanical, and thermo‐mechanical properties of frontally cured bisphenol A diglycidyl ether derivatives is presented. The results show a direct relationship between frontal velocity and amount of reactive diluent while an inverse relationship with the storage viscosity is observed. It is found that increasing the content of cycloaliphatic epoxide reduces the glass transition but increases mechanical properties of frontally cured bisphenol A diglycidyl ether derivatives.

AbstractBackgroundClinical scales and neuroimaging are used to monitor nervous system injury in Wilson's disease, while data on serum markers are scarce.ObjectiveTo investigate whether serum concentrations of neurofilament light chain (sNfL) correlate with brain injury in Wilson's disease patients.MethodsIn 61 treatment‐naïve patients, the Unified Wilson's Disease Rating Scale and a validated semiquantitative brain magnetic resonance imaging scale were compared with concentrations of sNfL.ResultsConcentrations of sNfL were significantly higher in patients with neurological disease compared with patients presenting with other forms (39.7 ± 73.4 pg/mL vs. 13.3 ± 9.2 pg/mL; P < 0.01). Moreover, the sNfL concentration positively correlated with neurological severity scores and with acute and chronic brain damage based on the neuroimaging scale.ConclusionsNeurofilament light chain concentrations may be used as a marker of brain injury in Wilson's disease, in addition to the clinical and neuroimaging disease severity scales. © 2022 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society

How do foundations support (anti‐)racism? A critical race theory perspective on philanthropy and racial equity
Authors: Jung Seoeun , Eikenberry Angela , Webb Farley Kathryn , Brainard Lori 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis research explores how philanthropic foundations responded to the killing of George Floyd and subsequent Black Lives Matter protests through a critical race theory perspective. Using qualitative content analysis of online statements, the study analyzed messages foundations conveyed about racism and anti‐racism and what commitments they made to address racial equity. The findings suggest half of foundations communicated racist ideas through assimilationist and non‐racist messages, and half expressed anti‐racist ideas by addressing systematic racism. Further, corporate, rather than family or community foundations, conveyed more racist messages and committed to providing funds rather than adjusting organizational orientation to address racial inequity.
