New empirical insights into conflicting claims problems
Authors: Giménez-Gómez José-Manuel , Carmen Marco-Gil M. , Sánchez-García Juan-Francisco 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe present paper aims to explore the perception of fairness in conflicting claims problems (O’Neill in Math Soc Sci 2(4):345–371, 1982). To do so, we present a questionnaire given to a large heterogeneous group of people (students, employees, retirees). Distributive justice criteria are studied through different ways of distributing scarce resources, and we analyse whether the population’s response patterns are conditioned by specific features of the economic context. We find that proportional allocation is generally considered the fairest way of distributing resources. However, the principle of proportionality is abandoned by part of the population when claims represent needs and claimants have scarce resources. Moreover, we observe that age, employment status and education levels significantly influence the perception of fairness.

AbstractA profound transformation of agricultural production methods has become unavoidable due to the increase in the world’s population, and environmental and climatic challenges. Agroecology is now recognized as a challenging model for agricultural systems, promoting their diversification and adaptation to environmental and socio-economic contexts, with consequences for the entire agri-food system and the development of rural and urban areas. Through a prospective exercise performed at a large interdisciplinary institute, INRAE, a research agenda for agroecology was built that filled a gap through its ambition and interdisciplinarity. It concerned six topics. For genetics, there is a need to study genetic aspects of complex systems (e.g., mixtures of genotypes) and to develop breeding methods for them. For landscapes, challenges lie in effects of heterogeneity at multiple scales, in multifunctionality and in the design of agroecological landscapes. Agricultural equipment and digital technologies show high potential for monitoring dynamics of agroecosystems. For modeling, challenges include approaches to complexity, consideration of spatial and temporal dimensions and representation of the cascade from cropping practices to ecosystem services. The agroecological transition of farms calls for modeling and observational approaches as well as for creating new design methods. Integration of agroecology into food systems raises the issues of product specificity, consumer behavior and organization of markets, standards and public policies. In addition, transversal priorities were identified: (i) generating sets of biological data, through research and participatory mechanisms, that are appropriate for designing agroecological systems and (ii) collecting and using coherent sets of data to enable assessment of vulnerability, resilience and risk in order to evaluate the performance of agroecological systems and to contribute to scaling up. The main lessons learned from this collective exercise can be useful for the entire scientific community engaged in research into agroecology.

Abstract
Purpose
Black and Latinx MSM and transgender POC disproportionately experience new HIV diagnoses. Determining effective HIV prevention methods requires the inclusion of these communities in research and thorough post-trial experience evaluations. This study sought to evaluate the experiences of Black and Latinx MSM and transgender POC in HIV prevention research and identify facilitators and barriers to continued trials participation.

Methods
A survey was developed in partnership with the community engagement team based on emerging themes during research participant check-ins with the team. The survey was built in REDCap and distributed to participants via text message. The survey assessed experiences with the research process time commitments, study responsibilities, compensation, experiences with Truvada®, characteristics of the research study team and site, barriers to continued study participation, willingness to participate in future studies, and overall satisfaction. All statistical analysis was completed in Stata.

Results
Forty-four participants were enrolled in the study. Most participants (98%) were satisfied with their experiences in HIV prevention research. Job or school schedules were the most frequently cited barrier to study participation while Truvada® provision and adequate study visit compensation, length, number, and frequency were facilitators. Participants reported that research staff made them feel comfortable when talking about sexual behaviors, alcohol use, mental health, drug use, housing problems, violence in relationships, and legal problems.

Conclusions
Evaluating the experiences of key communities in HIV prevention research can help identify barriers and facilitators to clinical trials engagement and improve the design of future trials.
Medical technologies, time, and the good life
Authors: Bozzaro Claudia 
Published: June 2022

AbstractAgainst the backdrop of emerging medical technologies that promise transgression of temporal limits, this paper aims to show the importance that an individual lifetime’s finitude and fugacity have for the question of the good life. The paper’s first section examines how the passing of an individual’s finite lifetime can be experienced negatively, and thus cause “suffering from the passing of time.” The second section is based on a sociological analysis within the conceptual framework of individualization and capitalism, which characterizes many modern individualized and consumerist societies and explains how the described problem of time’s passage is particularly relevant today. The paper then proceeds to show and discuss how individuals employ various, primarily medical, enhancement-technologies like social egg freezing, anti-aging-medicine and physical- and neuro-enhancement in an attempt to overcome time’s passing. Finally, the paper seeks to explain why such attempts fail and, moreover, why it is exactly the awareness of time’s passing that can constitute a prerequisite for a good life.
Responses to Thanks in Ireland, England and Canada: A Variational Pragmatic Perspective
Authors: Barron Anne 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe present study investigates responses to thanks across the varieties of Irish English, English English and Canadian English. Data are taken from the Lueneburg Direction-Giving (LuDiG) corpus, a specialised corpus of spoken direction-giving exchanges across pluricentric varieties constructed using Labovian-style methods. The analysis centres on the cross-varietal pragmatic choices made in responding to thanks on the level of tokens, types and strategies. Findings point to the broad universality of realisations of responses to thanks across the pluricentric varieties at hand. Variety-preferential choices are, however, also recorded on a national level, particularly in type and strategy preferences. While all varieties use a ‘minimising the favour’ strategy extensively, this strategy is employed to a comparatively higher degree in the Irish English and English English data. In contrast, the speakers of Canadian English use an ‘expressing appreciation of the addressee’ strategy to a comparatively larger extent. Speakers of Canadian English are suggested to orient more strongly to positive face needs, and speakers of Irish English and English English more strongly towards negative face needs. The paper also discusses the methodological challenges of contrasting spoken interactional data for cross-varietal pragmatic speech act analyses and shows some strengths of specialised corpora in this regard.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the physiological mechanisms underlying the attenuation of Cd toxicity using Se in two cherry tomato cultivars ‘Hanluzhe’ (HLZ) and ‘Lvfeicui’ (LFC), with low and high Cd accumulation rates, respectively. Hydroponic experiments were conducted and 2.5 μmol L−1 Se was applied to hydroponic solution with 50 μmol L−1 Cd. The photosynthetic parameter, antioxidant enzyme activities, non-enzymatic antioxidants, mineral elements, phytochelatins, and Cd contents of two cherry tomatoes were detected. Exogenous Se reduced Cd assimilation and altered its chemical form and subcellular distribution in both cultivars. Exogenous Se mitigated Cd-induced oxidative stress by enhancing the activity of superoxide dismutase (37.0% in HLZ and 48.9% in LFC), peroxidase (50.6% in HLZ and 30.4% in LFC), catalase (18.5% in HLZ and 28.6% in LFC), ascorbate peroxidase (26.6% in HLZ and 47.4% in LFC), and glutathione peroxidase (28.3% in HLZ and 30.4% in LFC). Although Se significantly increased the photosynthetic rate (Pn) of HLZ, it exhibited no significant effect on the Pn of LFC under Cd stress. Se improved the phytochelatin (15.1% in HLZ and 42.4% in LFC) content, which accelerated Cd chelation in both cultivars. Further, Se alleviated nutrient (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Cu) assimilation or transportation in both cultivars to varying degrees. The efficiency of Cd toxicity alleviation using Se was higher in the high Cd-accumulating cultivar LFC than in the low Cd-accumulating cultivar HLZ. Screening low Cd-accumulating cultivars with exogenous Se is a promising method to manage Cd accumulation in cherry tomatoes.
The Superstition that Dismembers the African Child: An Exploration of the Scale and Features of Juju-Driven Paedicide in Ghana
Authors: Owusu Emmanuel Sarpong 
Published: June 2022

AbstractJuju-related child homicide or ritual paedicide (i.e. killing children for ritual or occult purposes) has been the subject of many media reports in Africa. The present study explores the evolution, magnitude, motivations and primary features of ritual paedicide, and identifies the socio-cultural, religious and economic contexts of this crime in contemporary Ghana. An in-depth analysis of ritual homicide cases/reports publicized in three local Ghanaian media outlets between 2013 and 2020 was carried out to realize this aim. Semi-structured interviews involving 20 participants were then conducted to gain additional insights into key aspects of the results of the media content analysis. The data demonstrate that juju-involved murders are widespread in Ghana, and the worst victims are children of low socio-economic backgrounds in rural communities. Poor parental supervision is a significant risk factor for ritual paedicide. Perpetrators and prime suspects are predominantly young adult males, aged between 20 and 39 years, unemployed or on a low income. Most perpetrators are motivated by financial gain. The study highlights the need for economic improvement and promoting formal and public education. It also stresses the need to bring juju practitioners under closer scrutiny and criminalize some of their activities.
Experiences of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia: 2020–2021
Authors: Alshareef Abdullah Ghaleb 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In Saudi Arabia and around the world, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is a significant public health problem. This paper explores the strategies that Saudi Arabia took to control COVID-19 from March 2020 to July 2021 and highlights some considerations regarding the ongoing COVID-19 response. The high testing capacity adopted by the Saudi Government and the country’s strong adherence to public health guidelines may have created conditions that stemmed the spread of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia.
In this position paper, 3 government tools of governance that were utilized to address the problem of COVID-19 are identified: social regulation, interorganizational collaboration, and public information. The governance tools detailed in this research are frequently used to alleviate public health concerns, which is important as the use of governance tools to implement policy is the trend of the future. Public–private partnerships and strategic alliances are also viable options to confront national issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Poor dietary quality is a major contributor to malnutrition and disease burden in Vietnam, necessitating the development of a tool for improving dietary quality. Food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) have been proposed to do this by providing specific, culturally appropriate and actionable recommendations. We developed the Vietnamese Healthy Eating Index (VHEI) to assess the adherence to the 2016–2020 Vietnamese FBDGs and the dietary quality of the general Vietnamese population. This VHEI consists of eight component scores, ‘grains’, ‘protein foods’, ‘vegetables’, ‘fruits’, ‘dairy’, ‘fats and oils’, ‘sugar and sweets’ and ‘salt and sauces’, representing the recommendations in the FBDGs. Each component score ranges from 0 to 10, resulting in a total VHEI score between 0 (lowest adherence) and 80 (highest adherence). The VHEI was calculated using dietary intake data from the Vietnamese General Nutrition Survey 2009–2010 (n = 8225 households). Associations of the VHEI with socio-demographic characteristics, energy and nutrient intakes and food group consumptions were examined. The results showed that the mean and standard deviation score of the VHEI was 43⋅3 ± 8⋅1. The component ‘sugar and sweets’ scored the highest (9⋅8 ± 1⋅1), whereas the component ‘dairy’ scored the lowest (0⋅6 ± 1⋅6). The intake of micronutrients was positively associated with the total VHEI, both before and after adjustment for energy intake. In conclusion, the VHEI is a valuable measure of dietary quality for the Vietnamese population regarding their adherence to the FBDGs.
Earliest western Atlantic staghorn corals (Acropora) from the lower Oligocene Suwannee Limestone of Florida, USA, and their significance for modern coral distribution
Authors: Wallace Carden C. , Portell Roger W. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe Suwannee Limestone of Florida and Georgia, USA, is a carbonate paleoenvironment with a rich diversity of marine fossils. These record the presence of coral- and seagrass-bearing communities in the western Atlantic from the Eocene/Oligocene boundary to the mid Oligocene (33.9–28.1 Ma). From the Suwannee Limestone, we describe two new species of the cosmopolitan, diverse, and abundant coral genusAcropora(“staghorn corals”),Acropora suwanneensisnew species andAcropora upchurchinew species, which predate all other describedAcroporaspecies from the Americas and Caribbean by at least 10 million years. Diminutive skeletal structure in both species is indicative of their living in protected calm-water habitats. At their time of occurrence, an Atlantic–Pacific connection was open through Central America. Both species belong to morphological lineages also present in the fossil record of the eastern Atlantic (Europe, or the western Tethys). These lineages no longer occur in the Atlantic Ocean, but they are extant in the Indo-Pacific region, with the closest modern relative of each new species occurring in the Pacific Ocean to central Indo-Pacific. Some species in the two morphological lineages have existed for up to 20+ million years. The new species may have played a part in perpetuating a cosmopolitan Tethyan fauna and expandingAcroporahabitats in the western Atlantic, by which they likely also contributed to the renowned species and habitat diversity ofAcroporain the modern Indo-Pacific.UUIDhttps://zoobank.org/40118623-8b82-4352-a065-b58da74a5c41
Popular Mexican Masculinity and American Culture in the 1920s: Migrants andFifís
Authors: Serna Laura Isabel 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis essay examines the discourse around Mexican masculinity in the 1920s by looking at the figures of the repatriated migrant and the urban dandy of the period, thefifí. Using evidence from print culture, popular literature, and other sources, it explains how these masculine figures provoked anxieties about sexuality, work, and public space, as well as concerns about how to integrate American mass culture into revolutionary Mexican society. Though many observers saw repatriated migrants and fifís as potentially destructive to Mexico’s body politic, others crafted cultural narratives that described how to integrate men’s encounters with American culture into modern Mexican masculinity.
Prospects for Analogue Confirmation
Authors: Bartha Paul 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn analogical reasoning, observations about one or more source domains provide varying degrees of support for a conjecture about a target domain. Norton (2021) challenges the usefulness of formal models of analogical inference. Other philosophers (Dardashti et al. 2019) develop just such formal models in order to show how analogue experiments can confirm a hypothesis, even when the target domain is inaccessible. This paper defends the value of quasi-formal models of analogical reasoning. Such models are broadly compatible with Norton’s position, but help to clarify the structure of analogical reasoning and to identify basic requirements for a good analogical inference.
REINTERPRETATION OF FLUVIAL-AEOLIAN SEDIMENTS FROM LAST GLACIAL TERMINATION CLASSIC TYPE LOCALITIES USING HIGH-RESOLUTION RADIOCARBON DATA FROM THE POLISH PART OF THE EUROPEAN SAND BELT

ABSTRACTThis paper presents 66 radiocarbon (14C) dates obtained at 33 key sites from the Polish part of the European Sand Belt. These calibrated dating results were compared to 34 high-resolution 14C dates obtained from a fluvial-aeolian sediments to identify pedogenic phases from the late Pleniglacial interval to the early Holocene. These identified pedogenic phases were correlated with Greenland ice-core records, revealing high sensitivity of the fluvio-aeolian paleoenvironment to climate changes. Two pedogenic phases were identified from the late Pleniglacial interval (Greenland Stadial GS-2.1b and GS-2.1a), three from the Bølling-Allerød interstadial (Greenland Stadial GI-1), one from the late Allerød–Younger Dryas boundary, and at least one from the Younger Dryas. The ages of these pedogenic phases reveal a distinct delay of 50–100 calendar years after the onset of cool climate conditions during GI-1, reflecting gradual withdrawal of vegetation. Soil horizons from the early Holocene do not show any clear relation with climate change, where breaks in soil formation were caused by local factors such as human activity.

All felt the simulator was useful for the novice otolaryngologist, and represented the key anatomy and motor skills needed to drain a peritonsillar abscess. Qualitative evaluation highlighted the educational usefulness of the simulator as a peritonsillar abscess training device.ConclusionThe Newport Quinsy Simulator is affordable, accessible, easy to use and educationally valuable to the novice otolaryngologist.
Following in the Footsteps: Exemplarity, Ethnicity and Ethics in 1 Peter
Authors: Marcar Katie 
Published: June 2022

AbstractFirst Peter 1.3–2.10 weaves a new familial and ethnic identity for believers through a complex series of interlocking metaphors. How does this identity influence the ethical exhortation beginning in 2.11? The current article argues that an answer is found in the Greco-Roman structures of exemplarity. First, the article identifies four explicit markers of exemplarity discourse in 1 Peter: ὑπογραμμός (2.21), the footsteps idiom (2.21), the term ἀντίτυπος (3.21) and the term τύποι (5.3). Next, it surveys how exemplarity functioned in the Greco-Roman world. Greek and Roman literature demonstrate a clear preference for domestic exempla. Similarly, as a new family and ethnic group, Christian believers require new exempla suited to their new Christian identity. In this light, 1 Peter's ethical instruction can be more deeply appreciated. Finally, this article investigates how exemplarity dynamics illuminate Jesus as exemplar par excellence in 1 Peter. First Peter depicts Jesus’ passion with language of the Isaianic suffering servant (2.22–5). Jesus’ exemplarity is given to slaves, who are implicitly held up as models for all believers. Exemplarity thus draws its strength from the past (the suffering servant, Jesus) as it challenges those in the present and future (slaves, all believers) to become like these models.
