AbstractBACKGROUNDThe small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén), is an important pest of rice. It is suspected of migrating over the sea from China to Japan. However, where in China it comes from and how it affects Japanese populations remain unclear.RESULTSHere, we studied the genetic structure of 15 L. striatellus populations sampled from Japan and China using single nucleotide polymorphisms generated by the double digest restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing technique. We found weak genetic differentiation between the Chinese and Japanese populations. Our data revealed migration signals of L. striatellus from China to southern and northern Japan. However, the source regions of the immigrants remain unclear due to the low genetic differentiation between populations. Our results also pointed to the possibility of backward gene flow from Japanese to Chinese populations. We suspect that the south‐eastern wind associated with the East Asian summer monsoon may facilitate the reverse migration of L. striatellus from Japan to China. Interestingly, we found that the X chromosome displayed relatively higher genetic differentiation among populations and suffered more intensive selection pressure than autosomes.CONCLUSIONWe provide genetic evidence of transoceanic migration of L. striatellus from China to Japan and found that the X chromosome can aid the deciphering of the migration trajectories of species with low genetic differentiation. These findings have implications for forecasting the outbreak of this pest and also provide insights into how to improve the tracking of the migration routes of small insects via population genomics. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
The narratives of new rural residents in the configuration of the peri‐urban area: From circumstancial constraints to openness
Authors: Rivera María Jesús , Sanz Tolosana Elvira 
Published: April 2022

AbstractEuropean peri‐urban areas keep growing in terms of land, population and socio‐spatial complexity. This article looks at the role of new residents in the ongoing reconfiguration of peri‐urban space, by focusing on how their narratives make sense of their residential choices and experiences. The analysis is based on the case of the peri‐urban area of Pamplona, an intermediate city in northern Spain surrounded by a peri‐urban space characterised by a disperse habitat of single and collective rural‐like settlements in a clear process of population growth. The discussion is grounded in a series of semi‐structured interviews conducted with key informants and new residents. The results reinforce the relevance of the residential lure of these territories as well as of the housing policies adopted. They also show three key elements to understand better the complexity and internal heterogeneity of this process: the different motivations supporting the residential choice; the links established with the place and its population and the experiences within the territory. Finally, the article concludes by suggesting that the different profiles of the new residents and their different orientations regarding the way of residing and experiencing the residence generate different territorialities through which they form new and coexisting ruralities, as well as a hybrid identity construction with the place.

Published: April 2022

RationaleThe identification and evaluation of novel biomarkers are essential to clinical diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Serum phosphopeptides have been recognized as a potential signature pool for cancers; therefore, we aim to profile the expression of serum phosphopeptides and to evaluate their feasibility in CRC diagnosis.MethodsWe conducted the characterization and absolute quantification of endogenous phosphopeptides in sera using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis in combination with enrichment of phosphopeptides by ZrAs‐Fe3O4@SiO2nanoparticles and use of deuterium‐labeled standards. Differentially expressed analysis of four phosphopeptides was performed, generating a two‐phosphopeptide‐based biomarker, LF3–4, by logistic regression analysis, where LF3–4 is equal to (5.85 − 5.13 × [F3] − 3.57 × [F4]), and [F3] and [F4] are the concentration of phosphopeptides DpSGEGDFLAEGGGVR and ADpSGEGDFLAEGGGVR in sera, respectively.ResultsThe LF3–4 values showed significant difference in CRC cases compared with controls, and yielded a specificity of 100%, leading to correct classification of 56 (93%) out of 60 CRC patients, including 12 (92.3%) of 13 CRC cases in stage I. Double‐blind validation showed that 97.5% of CRC cases were discriminated accurately.ConclusionsThe LF3–4 value was firstly verified to be a potential biomarker for CRC diagnosis, and may expand our view in underlying mechanisms for CRC.
A case of extreme carboxyhaemoglominemia due to vaping
Authors: Grech Audrey K. , Keating Dominic T. , Garner Daniel J. , Naughton Matthew T. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractAcute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is known to cause neurological, metabolic and cardiorespiratory sequalae. However, data on chronic CO exposure are scant, particularly in the context of vaping, which recent literature suggests may be a greater source of CO than tobacco cigarette smoking. During a series of admissions at the time of vaping, our patient repeatedly presented with significant CO poisoning and developed pulmonary arterial hypertension with resultant high‐output right heart failure. On each occasion, our patient's levels of carboxyhaemoglobin were both higher and took longer to resolve than 12 smokers who underwent arterial blood gas testing at two time points. Our observation may reveal an association between vaping, chronic carboxyhaemoglobinemia and the development of cardiorespiratory disease. Thus, further studies into the safety of vaping and chronic CO exposure are urged.
Does deadwood moisture vary jointly with surface soil water content?

Published: April 2022

AbstractDeadwood moisture plays a major role in regulating deadwood decomposition rates and may also affect forest microclimate. Despite this, the temporal variability of deadwood moisture at 15‐min time scales remains relatively unknown because techniques for using high‐frequency sensors for tracking moisture at appropriate spatial and temporal intensities have been lacking. We installed a high‐density sensor array in and around a downed log to gain a detailed assessment regarding the temporal variation of volumetric water content at multiple locations within one downed dead log, the source snag, and the surrounding soil. We also measured micrometeorological variables near the log in order to predict variability of the deadwood moisture. We found that the deadwood varied in similar fashion as the soil moisture, and that this similarity allowed us to make accurate predictions of deadwood moisture using micrometeorological data and soil moisture. The primary driver of deadwood moisture was rainfall; however, diurnal cycles of subcanopy humidity and temperature seemed to cause variation in the deadwood moisture between rain events. Our findings highlight the need for applying similar techniques to a variety of forest types, deadwood types, and different forest management strategies to gain a broader understanding of high‐frequency deadwood moisture dynamics and their feedbacks with ecosystem processes, like decomposition and forest fire hazards.
Disseminated cryptococcosis causing liver dysfunction in a pug
Authors: Tong Miranda X. , Hill Sarah A. , Romine Jessica F. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractA nearly 2‐year‐old, male, neutered pug was referred for a 1‐month duration of progressive gastrointestinal signs and lethargy, and possible seizure activity. Blood analyses before referral had shown marked increases in hepatocellular and hepatobiliary enzymes and increased pre‐prandial and post‐prandial bile acids, with normal bilirubin. Physical exam revealed a quiet mentation and blood analyses at the time of presentation found persistent increases in hepatic enzymes, and hypoalbuminaemia. Abdominal ultrasound identified intra‐abdominal free fluid and ileocolic lymphadenopathy. Cytology of the abdominal effusion, liver and abdominal lymph nodes identified organisms of the Cryptococcus genus. The dog had a positive Cryptococcus antigen lateral flow assay titre of 1:>10,000, confirming cryptococcosis. The dog was euthanased following diagnosis. This is the first report describing a case of disseminated cryptococcosis causing liver dysfunction in a veterinary species. Cryptococcus infection should be considered in a young dog presenting with gastrointestinal signs and liver enzymopathy.
Synthesis and Structural Investigation of Protonated Haloacetyl Fluorides
Authors: Steiner Sebastian , Jessen Christoph , Kornath Andreas J. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractHerein, we report the O‐monoprotonated species of chloroacetyl fluoride and fluoroacetyl fluoride in the binary superacidic systems HF/MF5 and DF/MF5 (M=As, Sb) as hexafluoridoarsenates and hexafluoridostibates. The colorless salts were characterized by low temperature vibrational spectroscopy, low temperature NMR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. [CClH2C(OH)F][SbF6] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with four formula units per unit cell and [CH2FC(OD)F][SbF6] in the triclinic space group P
with two formula units per cell. The experimental data are discussed together with quantum chemical calculations at the ωB97XD/aug‐cc‐pVTZ‐level of theory. Protonation leads to significant shortening of the C−F bond due to back‐donation of fluorine lone‐pair electrons.
Using Technology to Predict Leisure Activities and Quality of Life
Authors: Gabor Andrijana Mušura , Mikloušić Igor 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis chapter will discuss the usage of more objective and unobtrusive ways technology can be used to assess leisure activities. It is well known that leisure activities are positively correlated with measures of quality of life and subjective well-being. How we spend our free time has a great deal of influence on how we subjectively assess the quality of our lives. One aspect of our leisure time, which is gaining more and more interest, is the use of smartphones and wearables. According to global statistics, almost half of the global population spends more than 5 h a day using their smartphones. The use of technology has a profound effect on the way we spend our lives, socialize and entertain. Because our use of technology leaves a massive amount of digital data, we are now able to search for patterns of digital behaviour and use them as proxies or predictors for real life behaviours, bypassing or complementing self-reports and subjective measures. Our discussion revolves around several aspects of technology and leisure time. First, how technology use relates to leisure activities and what alternative unobtrusive measures could be developed to measure or predict leisure activities. Second, we will discuss the positive and negative aspects of technology use.
Quantifying Energy and Fatigue: Classification and Assessment of Energy and Fatigue Using Subjective, Objective, and Mixed Methods towards Health and Quality of Life
Authors: Solomon Natalie Leah , Manea Vlad 
Published: April 2022

AbstractEnergy and fatigue carry important implications for vitality and overall quality of life. Lacking energy and experiencing fatigue can be both burdensome as well as adaptive. This chapter first classifies energy and fatigue and then reviews their measurement. This chapter closes with opportunities for future directions.Energy and fatigue are present under varying conditions including in daily performance, during and after acute physical or mental strain (capacity), and in the context of chronic conditions. Energy and fatigue have been measured both subjectively and objectively. Subjective outcomes can be derived from self-reported scales and prompts; objective outcomes may be derived from performance and capacity tasks and technology-reported physiological, biological, and behavioural markers. The scales and tasks employed to measure energy have been traditionally validated but may lack daily life context and ecological validity. Prompts and behavioural monitoring methods are emerging as promising alternatives.Energy and fatigue have also been routinely monitored for specific diseases and occupations. However, fewer studies monitor healthy individuals through consumer technology in daily life contexts. More research is needed for an objective, unobtrusive, longitudinal, and contextual measurement of energy and fatigue in the healthy general population, in service of improving health, wellbeing, and quality of life.
Quantifying the Body: Body Image, Body Awareness and Self-Tracking Technologies
Authors: Boldi Arianna , Rapp Amon 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe availability of wearable devices recently boosted the popularity of self-tracking technologies. Self-trackers are involved in a complex process of knowledge development, but this cannot be achieved without knowing the body. However, self-tracking devices seem to embrace an abstract and scattered conception of the body, based on unrelated numbers, graphs, and depictions, which may not be integrated into a coherent body image. This may turn into biases and distortions of how we look at our bodies, worsening, rather than improving, our self-knowledge. In this chapter we explore the ways through which the progressive “quantification” introduced by self-tracking technologies is affecting the body. We first explain a series of theoretical constructs concerning the body, which are essential to understand the impact of self-tracking on our bodies, like body schema, body image, and bodyawareness. Then, we illustrate how individuals’ body image and awareness are affected by the usage of self-tracking technologies in the sports domain. Finally, we point out some lines of future research aimed at providing people with more meaningful representations of their own body, improving their body awareness and even their body image.
Generalized Lense-Thirring metrics: higher-curvature corrections and solutions with matter
Authors: Gray Finnian , Hennigar Robie A. , Kubizňák David , Mann Robert B. , Srivastava Manu 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The Lense-Thirring spacetime describes a 4-dimensional slowly rotating approximate solution of vacuum Einstein equations valid to a linear order in rotation parameter. It is fully characterized by a single metric function of the corresponding static (Schwarzschild) solution. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of the Lense-Thirring spacetimes to the higher-dimensional multiply-spinning case, with an ansatz that is not necessarily fully characterized by a single (static) metric function. This generalization lets us study slowly rotating spacetimes in various higher curvature gravities as well as in the presence of non-trivial matter. Moreover, the ansatz can be recast in Painlevé-Gullstrand form (and thence is manifestly regular on the horizon) and admits a tower of exact rank-2 and higher rank Killing tensors that rapidly grows with the number of dimensions. In particular, we construct slowly multiply-spinning solutions in Lovelock gravity and notably show that in four dimensions Einstein gravity is the only non-trivial theory amongst all up to quartic curvature gravities that admits a Lense-Thirring solution characterized by a single metric function.
Nocardia noduli sp. nov., a novel actinobacterium with biotechnological potential
Authors: Nouioui Imen , Pötter Gabriele , Jando Marlen , Goodfellow Michael 
Published: April 2022

AbstractA genome-based polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic status of an actinobacterium strain isolated from an actinorhizal root nodule. Strain ncl1T was found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties characteristic of members of the genus Nocardia. The strain was closely related to Nocardia aurea in the phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences. The draft genome of the strain is 8.9 Mbp in size, has a genomic DNA G + C content of 67.0% and was predicted to contain at least 19 biosynthetic gene clusters encoding for specialized metabolites. Strain ncl1T was distinguished from its closest neighbour, N. aurea DSM 103986T, by a broad range of phenotypic properties and by low average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization scores. Consequently, the strain represents a novel Nocardia species for which the name Nocardia noduli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ncl1T (CECT 30123T = DSM 110878T). The present study provides further evidence that actinorhizal nodules are a source of novel species of Nocardia.
Das Verständnis von Wohl im Betreuungsrecht – eine Analyse anlässlich der Streichung des Wohlbegriffs aus dem reformierten Gesetz
Authors: Braun Esther , Gather Jakov , Henking Tanja , Vollmann Jochen , Scholten Matthé 
Published: April 2022

ZusammenfassungMit der 2023 in Kraft tretenden Reform des Betreuungsrechts wird der Begriff „Wohl“ aus dem Gesetz gestrichen. Hierdurch soll stärker hervorgehoben werden, dass sich der Betreuer an den subjektiven Wünschen des Betreuten statt an einem objektiven Wohlverständnis orientieren soll. In diesem Beitrag wird ermittelt, welches Verständnis von Wohl das reformierte Betreuungsrecht in Abgleich zu gängigen medizinethisch-philosophischen Auffassungen des Wohls implizit enthält. Indem untersucht wird, in welchem Verhältnis das betreuungsrechtliche und das medizinethische bzw. philosophische Verständnis von Wohl zueinanderstehen, soll die interdisziplinäre Verständigung zwischen Recht und Ethik gefördert werden.In der Begründung zur Reform wird betont, dass dem Betreuungsrecht weiterhin ein subjektives Verständnis von Wohl zugrunde liege. Dieses Verständnis deckt sich jedoch nicht mit philosophischen subjektiven Theorien des Wohlergehens, nach denen nur das zum Wohl einer Person beiträgt, was diese sich wünscht. Das Betreuungsrecht nimmt hingegen an, dass die Befolgung bestimmter Wünsche zu objektiven Schädigungen der Person führen und damit ihr Wohl beeinträchtigen kann. Negative Konsequenzen für das objektive Wohl eines Betreuten sind betreuungsrechtlich insofern relevant, als dass sie eine Grenze für die Befolgung aktueller Wünsche aufzeigen, die auf einem natürlichen Willen basieren und nicht Ausdruck von Selbstbestimmung sind. Dies ähnelt einer hybriden Konzeption des Wohls aus medizinethisch-philosophischer Sicht, nach der grundsätzlich angenommen wird, dass die Befolgung der Wünsche einer Person zu ihrem Wohl beiträgt, während aber auch gewisse objektive Kriterien als relevant für ihr Wohl angesehen werden.
Mapping of the Buried Paleochannels on the Terminal Fans in the Western Ganga Plain: A Geomorphological and Ground Penetrating Radar-based Approach
Authors: Patel Narendra K. , Pati Pitambar 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Paleochannels are valuable tools for delineating tectonics, climate, anthropogenic activities, reconstructing the paleo-geography, and studying the geomorphological evolution of the alluvial plains. Paleochannels on the terminal fans provide crucial information regarding their geomorphic evolution in space and time. Furthermore, paleochannels could be a good source for groundwater exploration. Exposed paleochannels in the recent alluvial plains are mappable by remote sensing and field evidence. However, mapping becomes difficult due to burial in relatively older alluvial surfaces, and anthropogenic disturbances complicate the case. This paper deals with an integrated method of mapping the buried paleochannels in the terminal fans from the western Ganga plain. Paleochannels have been mapped on three Holocene terminal fans, using remote sensing and Google Earth images, and Cartosat DEM. As continuity of the entire length of paleochannels could not be traced by the above tools due to burial and intense anthropogenic modifications, aligned surface water bodies were helpful at places to ascertain their continuity. The ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey by bistatic antennae (100 MHz frequency in distance mode) detected the subsurface existence of these buried paleochannels up to a maximum depth of about 35 m. Field evidence of some of these buried channels was confirmed at few excavations by the presence of channel sand. A previous study of these terminal fans through optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating suggests that channel abandonment occurred between 4.7 to 2.3 Ka, coinciding with the period of the dry climate and intense surface faulting episodes in the Ganga plain.

AbstractThe sand bodies formed by braided fluvial fan deposits have a certain distinctiveness. They not only have the characteristics of fluvial facies sandbodies but also follow the distribution law of alluvial fan sand bodies. The variation law of sandbodies that are present along and perpendicular to a channel is relatively complex. Therefore, constraints in the modeling process of sand–mudstone facies of this type of reservoir are essential. This study selects the second member of the Shanxi Formation reservoir formed by a braided fluvial fan in the middle of Ordos Basin to perform sand–mudstone facies modeling. First, by studying the lithology and sedimentary structure of the area, the sedimentary characteristics and sand body distribution law of braided river fan are analyzed. Then, the original data points are analyzed, the variation function with high convergence is obtained, and the sand–mud facies model under the constraint of sedimentary facies is established using the random modeling method. Finally, the accuracy of the established random model is tested via single-well thinning, multi-well thinning, and random seed model similarity. The test results confirm that the distribution law of the sand and mudstone in the model is highly similar to that of the actual stratum. And it also conforms to the sedimentary model of braided fluvial fan. The accuracy of the model established by this method is reliable, and the method can be used to predict sand body distribution in areas with low well pattern density.
