Authors: Mion Giorgio , Baratta Rossella , Bonfanti Angelo , Baroni Sara 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis study investigates the drivers of social innovation in disability services with specific reference to the context of nonprofit organizations of social farming. In addition, it highlights the role of stakeholder networks in enhancing the social innovation process and the characteristics of stakeholders and networks driving and supporting social innovation.Design/methodology/approachFollowing a qualitative methodology, research was conducted through a case study survey with interviews to 13 nonprofit organizations of social farming for people with disability located in the northeast of Italy.FindingsInsights gained from the interviews revealed that individual, organizational and contextual factors drive social innovation in disability nonprofits. In addition, networks play a key role in enhancing the three drivers of social innovation through the social innovation journey, from opportunity recognition to implementation of the innovation, to its consolidation phases. Characteristics of the networks and the stakeholders involved are also outlined.Practical implicationsPractical implications for social entrepreneurs include the need to establish cross-sectoral partnerships with diverse stakeholders, including private companies.Social implicationsImplications for policy makers stress the need for ongoing support for nonprofit disability organizations. Social implications are not limited to the inclusion of socially weaker groups; rather, the entire community benefits from the social innovation process.Originality/valueSocial farming represents a valuable solution to meet the needs of disadvantaged people. While much research has investigated the topic of social innovation in social entrepreneurship, only a few studies have addressed social innovation in the context of disability nonprofits involved in social farming.
Declines in freshwater mussel density, size and productivity in the River Thames over the past half century
Authors: Ollard Isobel , Aldridge David C. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

A pioneering, quantitative study published in Journal of Animal Ecology in 1966 on freshwater mussel populations in the River Thames, UK, continues to be cited extensively as evidence of the major contribution that mussels make to benthic biomass and ecosystem functioning in global river ecosystems.

Ecological alteration, as well as declines in freshwater mussel populations elsewhere, suggest that changes to mussel populations in the River Thames are likely to have occurred over the half century since this study.

We resurveyed the site reported in Negus (1966) and quantified the changes in mussel population density, species composition, growth patterns and productivity.

We found large declines in population density for all unionid species. The duck mussel Anodonta anatina decreased to 1.1% of 1964 density. The painter's mussel Unio pictorum fell to 3.2% of 1964 density. The swollen river mussel Unio tumidus showed statistically nonsignificant declines. In contrast to 1964, in 2020 we found no living specimens of the depressed river mussel Pseudanodonta complanata (classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List) but found new records of the invasive, nonnative zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha and Asian clam Corbicula fluminea. Additionally, we found strong decreases in size‐at‐age for all species, which now grow to 65–90% of maximum lengths in 1964. As a result of reduced density and size, estimated annual biomass production fell to 7.5% of 1964 levels.

Since mussels can be important to ecosystem functioning, providing key regulating and provisioning services, the declines we found imply substantial degradation of freshwater ecosystem services in the River Thames, one of the UK's largest rivers. Our study also highlights the importance to conservationists and ecologists of updating and validating assumptions and data about wild populations, which in the present era of anthropogenic ecosystem alteration are undergoing significant and rapid changes. Regular population surveys of key species are essential to maintain an accurate picture of ecosystem health and to guide management.

Abstract

Global warming can increase insect pest pressure by enhancing reproductive rates. Whether this translates into yield losses depends on phenological synchronisation of pests with their host plants and natural enemies. Simultaneously, landscape composition may mitigate climate effects by shaping the resource availability for pests and their antagonists. Here, we study the combined effects of temperature and landscape composition on pest abundances, larval parasitism, crop damage and yield, while also considering crop phenology, to identify strategies for sustainable management of oilseed rape (OSR) pests under warming climates.

In all, 29 winter OSR crop fields were investigated in different climates (defined by multi‐annual mean temperature, MAT) and landscape contexts in Bavaria, Germany. We measured abundances of adult pollen beetles and stem weevil larvae, pollen beetle larval parasitism, bud loss, stem damage and seed yield, and calculated the flowering date from growth stage observations. Landscape parameters (proportion of non‐crop and OSR area, change in OSR area relative to the previous year) were calculated at six spatial scales (0.6–5 km).

Pollen beetle abundance increased with MAT but to different degrees depending on the landscape context, that is, increased less strongly when OSR proportions were high (1‐km scale), interannually constant (5‐km scale) or both. In contrast, stem weevil abundance and stem damage did not respond to landscape composition nor MAT. Pollen beetle larval parasitism was overall low, but occasionally exceeded 30% under both low and high MAT and with reduced OSR area (0.6‐km scale).

Despite high pollen beetle abundance in warm climates, yields were high when OSR flowered early. Thereby, higher temperatures favoured early flowering. Only among late‐flowering OSR crop fields yield was higher in cooler than warmer climates. Bud loss responded analogously. Landscape composition did not substantially affect bud loss and yield.

Synthesis and applications: Earlier flowering of winter OSR compensates for higher pollen beetle abundance in warmer climates, while interannual continuity of OSR area prevents high pollen beetle abundance in the first place. Thus, regional coordination of crop rotation and crop management promoting early flowering may contribute to sustainable pest management in OSR under current and future climatic conditions.
Vanishing acts: the crisis of our loss of kinship with the more‐than‐human world
Authors: Dowd Amanda 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn this paper I am arguing for the recognition of the implicit structural and emotional links between the development of mind and psyche and the more‐than‐human world. I suggest that it is because of this interpenetration that the uncanny experience of displacement anxiety and its effects on our capacities to think and make links is an under‐appreciated aspect of our constant ‘forgetting’ of the building syndrome of our Earth’s symptomatology. I make use of my own theory of the ‘organizing gestalt’ and the thinking of Maturana, Ingold and Colman to offer a framework for the consideration of the uncanny links between what we know about vanishing biodiversity, broken ecosystems and the breaking down of previously integrated Earth systems and the breaking down of our ways of thinking about our relationships with the more‐than‐human‐world. I suggest that, taken together, such a framework feels remarkably akin to Australian indigenous ways of being in the world. Finally, I ask the question, what might it mean to think ecologically in our psychoanalytic work?
Dark feet and dark wings: penetrating the depths of the Earth
Authors: Zeiger Robin B. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe author, although an analyst, is an initiate into the topic of environmental destruction. Following Wendell Berry, she enters the dark and begins a journey of dream‐like reflection, weaving images from her own dream and drawing on the work of Vaughan, Bernstein, Soloveitchik and Sacks. She asks, ‘not if but where does climate change enter the room?’. The second half of the paper focuses on the manifestations of environmental destruction in dreams and sandplay from three patients and one dream group participant. The paper argues that the analyst must see and intuit before our patients can access the objective layer of environmental destruction in dreams and symbolic material. In this way, the climate becomes the wounded patient, and the analyst as wounded healer must first access his/her own relationship to the wounds inside. Finally, using an ancient Jewish mythological story of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the author argues that Jungian analysts must work to find balance between the inner world of depth psychology and the outer world with its challenges and problems that include environmental destruction.
Prediction of climate change effects on the potential distribution of cycad blue butterfly (Luthrodes pandava) in South Korea

Published: November 2022

AbstractLuthrodes pandava (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) is a major pest of the genus Cycas (Cycadales: Cycadaceae) and mainly inhabits low latitudes of Asia. Recently, L. pandava has gradually spread to other regions. L. pandava was first recorded in South Korea in 2006 and has been continuously observed on Jeju Island ever since. Adequate management and mitigation plans are necessary to prevent further spread of L. pandava throughout Korea. Therefore, this study used a species distribution model to predict the potential distribution of L. pandava under current and future climate conditions. A weighted ensemble model that incorporated the accuracy of 10 species distribution models was used to improve the forecast certainty. The potential distribution areas of L. pandava were predicted in units of 20 years from the present to 2,100 using a climate change scenario (SSP5–8.5). Under current and future climate conditions, the ensemble model predicted that L. pandava would be extensively distributed on Jeju Island and along the southern seaboard, west coast, and east coast, inhabiting 50–70% of Korea's land area by 2,100. Additionally, many sources of food for L. pandava, excluding those in the Cycas genus, have been observed in Korea. Thus, trading ports and the inland of the Korean Peninsula must be continuously monitored for outbreaks of L. pandava. The findings of this study provide essential necessary data to help mitigate the outbreak and spread of L. pandava in Korea and their associated damage to the Cycas genus.

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of nursing care based on the Levine's Conservation Model on depression caused by infertility, fatigue, perceived social support, and sleep quality levels.MethodsThis study includes randomized controlled trial that was conducted from July 2019 to April 2020, with 65 Turkish women with infertility (experimental group: 34, control group: 31). We collected data using the Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Beck's Depression Inventory, and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale. The experimental group received nursing care based on the Levine's Conservation Model. Data were analyzed using t‐tests and χ2 tests analyses.FindingsAs a result of the measurements made, it was found that the experimental group had a lower fatigue level than the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001). It was also found that the experimental group had higher energy and perceived social support scores than the control group after the practice, with a statistically significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001). As a result of the measurements made after the practice, it was found that the experimental group had a lower depression level than the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001).ConclusionsNursing care based on the Levine's Conservation Model decreased fatigue and depression in women receiving infertility treatment and increased perceived social support and sleep.Implications for nursing practiceThis research provides important findings about nursing care based on Levine's Conservation Model for women receiving infertility treatment. It decreased depression and fatigue and increased perceived social support and sleep quality.
Scaling up restoration efforts by simulating the effects of fire to circumvent prescribed burns when preparing restoration sites in South African fynbos ecosystems

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe method of clearing alien species and the nature of the soil seedbank influence the quality of restoration outcomes, particularly in fire‐prone ecosystems heavily invaded with fire‐adapted alien species. One of the challenges encountered is reducing the likelihood of reinvasions when the invading species are equally responsive to restoration treatments. By simulating the fire effects that are required to regenerate native vegetation, the study tested whether the recovery of the native species could be initiated without conducting a prescribed ecological burn. In a case study of South African Cape Flats Sand Fynbos with a heavy invasion ofAcacia saligna, the felled acacia were stacked into brush piles, with the litter raked off from the sowing areas and the collected seeds were pre‐treated for germination. Despite the lack of a fire, the sowing of pre‐treated seeds on raked plots led to good recovery of native vegetation over time. This was indicated by the recovery of higher density, cover and richness of native species in sown plots compared with unsown treatments. However, the recovery of native species had not approached the vegetation structure comparable to a reference site after 2 years; that is, only partial fynbos structure was recovered. The recruitment of acacia was less dense without fire, as hypothesised, and independent of treatment. However, over time, control plots had higher acacia cover than other treatments. Despite this sparse recruitment of acacia, the acacia seedbank decreased naturally to about 50% of the initial size over 2 years in control plots. Raking off litter during site preparation removed 50% of the acacia seedbank which decreased slightly thereafter. Consequently, the residual acacia seedbank was relatively similar across treatments after 2 and a half years. In conclusion, circumventing prescribed burns in heavily degraded fynbos ecosystems is a scalable restoration strategy, as recruitment of alien acacia was minimized, its seedbank declined significantly, and good native cover developed after clearing and sowing.

Published: November 2022

AbstractThis study evaluated the removal of a calcium silicate‐based sealer (EndoSeal MTA) with needle irrigation (NI), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), XP‐endo Finisher (XPF) and EDDY. A total of 56 human mandibular premolars were instrumented up to size 40.04 taper. The roots were separated longitudinally, and grooves were prepared with an ultrasonic tip at one‐half of each root canal. The grooves were covered with EndoSeal MTA and re‐attached roots were investigated based on the activation techniques applied. The results showed that significantly more material (p < 0.05) was removed in the EDDY group compared to the NI, PUI and XPF groups in the apical region. In the coronal region, no significant difference was observed between EDDY, XPF and PUI (p > 0.05), whereas all the latter were significantly more effective than NI (p < 0.05). These findings show that the removal of EndoSeal MTA can be more effective with EDDY compared to XPF, PUI and NI in the apical region.
The intimacy of the gift in the economy of sex work
Authors: Garza Ana P. Gutiérrez 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article explores the intersection that exists between the economy and intimacy through an exploration of gift exchanges between Latin American sex workers and regular clients in London. It engages with scholarship on sex work and intimacy to explore the social dimension of gifts embedded in affective commodified relationships. It explores the ways in which gifts create socioeconomic and emotional spheres of speculation that contribute to the achievement of women's migration dreams. Tracing gift exchanges in sex work offers an opportunity to examine the development of relationships that emerge from intimate sexual transactions and to look at the ways in which gift exchanges in sex work constrain or enable women's social, economic, and emotional aspirations for the future.

Published: November 2022

AbstractAimTo evaluate breastfeeding symptoms associated with ankyloglossia/tongue‐tie.MethodsDatabases included PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Eligible studies reported baseline breastfeeding symptoms/severity from tongue‐tied infants. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed quality. Low‐quality studies were excluded. Main outcomes were weighted mean severity scores for dyads with ankyloglossia relative to reference values for successful breastfeeding. Meta‐analyses used inverse‐variance‐weighted random‐effects models.ResultsOf 1328 screened studies, 39 were included (5730 infants with ankyloglossia). The mean LATCH score for patients with untreated ankyloglossia, 7.1 (95% CI: 6.7–7.4), was significantly below the good‐breastfeeding threshold. The mean Infant Breastfeeding Assessment Tool score, 10.0 (8.2–11.7), was not significantly below the good‐breastfeeding threshold. The mean Infant‐Gastroesophageal Reflux Questionnaire‐Revised score, 18.2 (10.5–26.0), was consistent with gastroesophageal reflux disease. The mean Breastfeeding Self‐Efficacy Scale‐Short Form score, 43.7 (39.3–48.1), indicated significant risk of cessation of exclusive breastfeeding within 1–3 months. Mean nipple pain was 4.9 (4.1–5.7) on a 0–10 scale, greater than typical scores for breastfeeding mothers without nipple damage. Total prevalence of breastfeeding difficulties was 49.3% (95% CI: 47.3–51.4%). Early, undesired weaning occurred in 20.3% (18.5–22.2%) of cases before intervention.ConclusionAnkyloglossia is adversely associated with breastfeeding success and maternal well‐being.
Living on the edge: Plant diversity in the Iberian chionophilous vegetation
Authors: Illa Estela , Pérez‐Haase Aaron , Brufau Rainer , Font Xavier 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAimsChionophilous vegetation (i.e. snowbed vegetation and chionophilous grasslands) hosts relict arctic–alpine species, among which snowbed specialists, that find their southernmost limit in the Iberian Peninsula, where they are especially threatened by climate change. Our aims were to identify the main Iberian chionophilous vegetation groups, and analyse their plant diversity patterns and their role as refugia for snowbed glacial relicts, as well as that of Iberian high‐mountain regions.LocationIberian high mountains.MethodsWe used thebeta‐flexibleclustering method to classify 1002 vegetation relevés of Iberian chionophilous vegetation, and computed species Indicator Values and frequencies for the resulting groups. We performed a Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) ordination of the relevés, and fitted six climatic variables to reveal the main ecological gradients. We constructed rarefaction curves to compare species richness between vegetation groups and between mountain regions.ResultsWe obtained eight vegetation groups, four consisting of snowbed vegetation and four of chionophilous grasslands. All but one group were present in the Pyrenees, where snowbed specialist richness was the highest. In southern and central Iberian ranges, snowbed vegetation was extremely scarce, and the main vegetation group corresponded to cryoromediterranean grasslands, where both species and specialist richness were the lowest. Snowbed and northern Iberian grassland groups accounted for similar high specialist richness, although specialists were infrequent and scarce at relevé level in these grasslands.ConclusionsDespite the set of specialised species that thrive in snowbeds, many of them are also present but scarce in northern Iberian chionophilous grasslands. In a future scenario with a high reduction of snow cover duration, which may entail the disappearance of many snowbed vegetation patches, northern Iberian chionophilous grasslands may act as terminal refugia for snowbed specialists. Nevertheless, specialists are very threatened in central and southern Iberian ranges, where snowbed vegetation is infrequent and chionophilous grasslands provide almost no shelter to them.
ComVis‐Sail: Comparative Sailing Performance Visualization for Coaching
Authors: Pieras M. , Marroquim R. , Broekens D. , Eisemann E. , Vilanova A. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDuring training sessions, sailors rely on feedback provided by the coaches to reinforce their skills and improve their performance. Nowadays, the incorporation of sensors on the boats enables coaches to potentially provide more informed feedback to the sailors. A common exercise during practice sessions, consists of two boats of the same class, sailing side by side in a straight line with different boat handling techniques. Coaches try to understand which techniques are that make one boat go faster than the other. The analysis of the obtained data from the boats is challenging given its multi‐dimensional, time‐varying and spatial nature. At present, coaches only rely on aggregated statistics reducing the complexity of the data, hereby losing local and temporal information. We describe a new domain characterization and present a visualization design that allows coaches to analyse the data, structuring their analysis and explore the data from different perspectives. A central element of the tool is the glyph design to intuitively represent and aggregate multiple aspects of the sensor data. We have conducted multiple user studies with naive users, sailors and coaches to evaluate the design and potential of the overall tool.
