Background
Dinoflagellates of family Symbiodiniaceae are important to coral reef ecosystems because of their contribution to coral health and growth; however, only a few studies have investigated the function and distribution of Symbiodiniaceae in Indonesia. Understanding the distribution of different kinds of Symbiodiniaceae can improve forecasting of future responses of various coral reef systems to climate change. This study aimed to determine the diversity of Symbiodiniaceae around Lombok using environmental DNA (eDNA).

Methods
Seawater and sediment samples were collected from 18 locations and filtered to obtain fractions of 0.4–12 and >12 µm. After extraction, molecular barcoding polymerase chain reaction was conducted to amplify the primary V9-SSU 18S rRNA gene, followed by sequencing (Illumina MiSeq). BLAST, Naïve-fit-Bayes, and maximum likelihood routines were used for classification and phylogenetic reconstruction. We compared results across sampling sites, sample types (seawater/sediment), and filter pore sizes (fraction).

Results
Phylogenetic analyses resolved the amplicon sequence variants into 16 subclades comprising six Symbiodiniaceae genera (or genera-equivalent clades) as follows: Symbiodinium, Breviolum, Cladocopium, Durusdinium, Foraminifera Clade G, and Halluxium. Comparative analyses showed that the three distinct lineages within Cladocopium, Durusdinium, and Foraminifera Clade G were the most common. Most of the recovered sequences appeared to be distinctive of different sampling locations, supporting the possibility that eDNA may resolve regional and local differences among Symbiodiniaceae genera and species.

Conclusions
eDNA surveys offer a rapid proxy for evaluating Symbiodiniaceae species on coral reefs and are a potentially useful approach to revealing diversity and relative ecological dominance of certain Symbiodiniaceae organisms. Moreover, Symbiodiniaceae eDNA analysis shows potential in monitoring the local and regional stability of coral–algal mutualisms.

Background
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the only species capable of producing high-quality natural rubber for commercial use, and is often subjected to various abiotic stresses in non-traditional rubber plantation areas. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a vital metalloenzyme translated by a SOD gene family member and acts as a first-line of protection in plant cells by catalysing the disproportionation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to produce H2O2 and O2. However, the SOD gene family is not reported in rubber trees.

Methods
Here, we used hidden markov model (HMM) and BLASTP methods to identify SOD genes in the H. brasiliensis genome. Phylogenetic tree, conserved motifs, gene structures, cis elements, and gene ontology annotation (GO) analyses were performed using MEGA 6.0, MEME, TBtools, PlantCARE, and eggNOG database, respectively. HbSOD gene expression profiles were analysed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Results
We identified nine HbSOD genes in the rubber tree genome, including five HbCSDs, two HbFSDs, and two HbMSDs. Phylogenetic relationship analysis classified the SOD proteins from the rubber tree and other related species into three subfamilies. The results of gene structure and conserved motif analysis illustrated that most HbSOD genes have similar exon-intron numbers and conserved motifs in the same evolutionary branch. Five hormone-related, four stress-related, and light-responsive elements were detected in the HbSODs’ promoters. HbSODs were expressed in different tissues, gradually increased with leaf development, and were abundantly expressed in mature leaves. HbCSD2 and HbCSD4 was significantly upregulated under low and high temperatures, and salt stress, except for HbCSD2, by heat. Furthermore, most HbSOD genes were significantly upregulated by drought, except HbMSD2. These findings imply that these genes may play vital roles in rubber tree stress resistance. Our results provide a basis for further studies on the functions of HbSOD genes in rubber trees and stress response mechanisms.

ImportanceThere is controversy about the benefit of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. Prostate-specific antigen screening rates have decreased since 2008 in the US, and the incidence of metastatic prostate cancer has increased. However, there is no direct epidemiologic evidence of a correlation between population PSA screening rates and subsequent metastatic prostate cancer rates.ObjectiveTo assess whether facility-level variation in PSA screening rates is associated with subsequent facility-level metastatic prostate cancer incidence.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective cohort used data for all men aged 40 years or older with an encounter at 128 facilities in the US Veterans Health Administration (VHA) from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2019.ExposuresYearly facility-level PSA screening rates, defined as the proportion of men aged 40 years or older with a PSA test in each year, and long-term nonscreening rates, defined as the proportion of men aged 40 years or older without a PSA test in the prior 3 years, from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2014.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcomes were facility-level yearly counts of incident metastatic prostate cancer diagnoses and age-adjusted yearly metastatic prostate cancer incidence rates (per 100 000 men) 5 years after each PSA screening exposure year.ResultsThe cohort included 4 678 412 men in 2005 and 5 371 701 men in 2019. Prostate-specific antigen screening rates decreased from 47.2% in 2005 to 37.0% in 2019, and metastatic prostate cancer incidence increased from 5.2 per 100 000 men in 2005 to 7.9 per 100 000 men in 2019. Higher facility-level PSA screening rates were associated with lower metastatic prostate cancer incidence 5 years later (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.91 per 10% increase in PSA screening rate; 95% CI, 0.87-0.96; P &amp;lt; .001). Higher long-term nonscreening rates were associated with higher metastatic prostate cancer incidence 5 years later (IRR, 1.11 per 10% increase in long-term nonscreening rate; 95% CI, 1.03-1.19; P = .01).Conclusions and RelevanceFrom 2005 to 2019, PSA screening rates decreased in the national VHA system. Facilities with higher PSA screening rates had lower subsequent rates of metastatic prostate cancer. These data may be used to inform shared decision-making about the potential benefits of PSA screening among men who wish to reduce their risk of metastatic prostate cancer.

ObjectiveReal‐world studies are needed to identify factors associated with response to biologic therapies in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). The objective was to assess sex differences in response to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) and to explore possible risk factors associated with TNFi efficacy.MethodsA total of 969 patients with axial SpA (315 females, 654 males) enrolled in the BIOBADASER registry (2000–2019) who initiated a TNFi (first, second, or further lines) were studied. Statistical and artificial intelligence (AI)–based data analyses were used to explore the association of sex differences and other factors to TNFi response, using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), to calculate the BASDAI50, with an improvement of at least 50% of the BASDAI score, and using the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score, calculated using the C‐reactive protein level (ASDAS‐CRP).ResultsFemales had a lower probability of reaching a BASDAI50 response with a first line TNFi treatment at the second year of follow‐up (P = 0.018) and a lesser reduction of the ASDAS‐CRP at this time point. The logistic regression model showed lower BASDAI50 responses to TNFi in females (P = 0.05). Other factors, such as older age (P = 0.004), were associated with unfavorable responses. The AI data analyses reinforced the idea that age at the beginning of the treatment was the main factor associated with an unfavorable response. The combination of age with other clinical characteristics (female sex or cardiovascular risk factors and events) potentially contributed to an unfavorable response to TNFi.ConclusionIn this national multicenter registry, female sex was associated with less response to a first‐line TNFi by the second year of follow‐up. A higher age at the start of the TNFi was the main factor associated with an unfavorable response to TNFi.

AbstractThe growing scale of production of wind turbines represents a big challenge for chemical recycling of amine‐cured epoxy resin (EP) to achieve high‐efficiency degradation and high‐value utilization of degradation products. Here, H2O2/phosphotungstic acid (HPW) catalytic oxidation system is demonstrated to completely degrade EP thermoset with the solid recovery rate of 96% at a reaction temperature of 80 °C for 4 h. Owing to protonation and bonding effect of HPW to the amine groups, the degradation products had a weight‐average molecular weight of 4285 with narrow molecular weight distribution. They were used as dye adsorption blend films and supramolecular adhesives based on hydrogen bonding and coordination bonding respectively. The work demonstrates a feasible and promising method to recover the EP thermoset into high‐performance materials.

Authors: Lee Jaehee , Yang Minwoo , Song Woon Ju 
Published: October 2022

AbstractProteins are versatile macromolecules whose sequence space and chemical scope can be expanded infinitely. A chemical toolbox other than the 20 canonical amino acids can further diversify protein structure and function. Indeed, genetic code expansion to incorporate noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) has extensively flourished metalloproteins in various aspects. This review focuses on artificial metalloproteins and metalloenzymes built using ncAAs, which operate directly as metal‐ligating ligands, modulate the chemical properties of metallocofactors within unique secondary coordinating microenvironments, or provide unique functions. As a result, self‐assembled protein architectures or novel catalytic activities have been created, showing the expanded landscape of metalloproteins. We also discuss potential prospects for ncAAs and their future applications in the design of protein‐based biomaterials and biocatalysts.

Published: October 2022

AbstractDuring a crisis, people's emotions are dynamically affected by changes in the environment, and by the attributes of object and subject in ways that depend on an emotion's essential characteristics. Negative emotions can cause psychological harm to people, but specific visual colors can instantaneously dispel or reduce those negative emotions. We developed a color design method based on a hybrid intelligent algorithm to predict accurately the significant negative emotions of people during a public crisis, and to explore the relationship between color structure and negative emotions developed. A Fuzzy Bayesian Network prediction model was constructed of people's significant negative emotions during a public crisis. Then, the concept of color cube was proposed that related color combinations to particular emotions. Finally, based on the emotion arousal experiment and the BP neural network, the nonlinear mapping relationship between negative emotion and color cube was analyzed to predict the fading versus stimulating color structure of the significant negative emotions. This mapping provides a reference for the color design of visual communications during a public crisis. Our results show that the prediction model of emotions and color design method were effective.
Passivity criteria for controlled affine resistive components
Authors: Sommariva Antonino M. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractPassivity criteria for controlled affine resistive (CAR) components are presented. First, the definitions of passive component and non‐dynamic component are recalled, as formulated in the frame of the behavioral approach (i.e., based on the concept of forwards concatenation set of an admissible process at a given time). Then, three lemmas, one theorem, and four corollaries on quadratic functions are stated and proven, which provide the mathematical tools needed. On this basis, passivity criteria for CAR components are derived, under both the standard (i.e., homogeneous, hybrid, and transmission) matrix representations and the general matrix representation. Finally, by resorting to a kind of canonic representation, two general results on the passivity of CAR components are obtained.

Published: October 2022

AbstractAn integrated single‐phase DC/AC power converter with step up is an interesting alternative of two‐stage architecture. This paper presents a single stage step up inverter with two inputs to simplify the hardware structure and reduce the number of power components. This circuit arrangement can be derived by combining two parallel boost DC/DC converters and a split‐capacitor, reducing the cost and power conversion stage. And, the proposed inverter can output AC voltage higher than the input DC voltage only through single‐stage conversion, which can satisfy the applications such as photovoltaic power generation systems. Moreover, the two input DC sources can provide power to the load port together or separately, with great flexibility. Furthermore, the proposed converter has the inherent feature of shoot‐through immunity, which can further improve the reliability of the system. This article discusses the operating modes and stable performance of the inverter in detail. Finally, an experimental prototype is built to verify the validity of the proposed topology and theoretical analysis.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe climate crisis, coupled with the COVID‐19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, are contributing to a shift in what people eat. For environmental sustainability, ethical, social justice, and health reasons, people are embracing plant‐based diets, which involve consuming mostly fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans and little or no meat and dairy products. Drawing on insights from consumer psychology, this review synthesizes academic research at the intersection of food and consumer values to propose a framework for understanding how and why these values—Sustainability, Ethics, Equity, and Dining for health—are transforming what people eat. We term our model the SEED framework. We build this framework around a report assembled by the Rockefeller Foundation (2021) that describes how to grow a value‐based societal food system. Finally, we highlight insights from consumer psychology that promote an understanding of how consumer values are shifting people's diets and raise research questions to encourage more consumer psychologists to investigate how and why values influence what consumers eat, which in turn impacts the well‐being of people, our environment, and society.
Designing Culturally Responsive Literacy Centers to Include and Go Beyond Skills
Authors: Wise Crystal N. , Ward Alessandra E. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article describes an approach to designing culturally responsive literacy centers. Aligned with Gholdy Muhammad's (2020) Historically Responsive Literacy model, we reimagine literacy centers as responsive to children from historically marginalized backgrounds. We present a five‐question tool that teachers can use as they plan for literacy centers that offer not only opportunities to build skills, but also to build upon children's cultural experiences, strengths, and interests. We describe our approach, offer an example of a cycle of culturally responsive literacy centers and lessons learned from our experience developing and revising these centers to maximize their effectiveness in early elementary classrooms.

Published: October 2022

AbstractReducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transport sector is one of the biggest challenges in the German energy transition. Furthermore, sustainable development does not stop with reducing GHG emissions. Other environmental, social and economic aspects should not be neglected. Thus, here a comprehensive sustainability assessment for passenger vehicles is conducted for 2020 and 2050. The discussed options are an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) fuelled with synthetic biofuel and fossil gasoline, a battery electric vehicle (BEV) with electricity from wind power and electricity mix Germany and a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) with hydrogen from wind power. The life cycle-based assessment entails 13 environmental indicators, one economic and one social indicator. For integrated consideration of the different indicators, the MCDA method Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is chosen. For the assessment, a consistent assessment framework, i.e. background scenario and system boundaries, and a detailed modelling of vehicle production, fuel supply and vehicle use are the cornerstones. The BEV with wind power is the most sustainable option in 2020 as well as in 2050. While in 2020, the second rank is taken by the ICEV with synthetic biofuel from straw and the last rank by the FCEV, in 2050 the FCEV is the runner-up. With the help of MCDA, transparent and structured guidance for decision makers in terms of sustainability assessment of motorized transport options is provided.

Published: October 2022

AbstractMorbidity is one of the key aspects for assessing populations’ well-being. In particular, chronic diseases negatively affect the quality of life in the old age and the risk that more years added to lives are years of disability and illness. Novel analysis, interventions and policies are required to understand and potentially mitigate this issue. In this article, we focus on investigating whether in Italy the compression of morbidity is in act in the recent years, parallely to an increase of life expectancy. Our analysis rely on large repeated cross-sectional data from the national surveillance system passi, providing deep insights on the evolution of morbidity together with other socio-demographical variables. In addition, we investigate differences in morbidity across subgroups, focusing on disparities by gender, level of education and economic difficulties, and assessing the evolution of these differences across the period 2013–2019.

Published: October 2022

AbstractIn the last decades, mobile robotics has become a very interesting research topic in the field of robotics, mainly because of population ageing and the recent pandemic emergency caused by Covid-19. Against this context, the paper presents an overview on wheeled mobile robot (WMR), which have a central role in nowadays scenario. In particular, the paper describes the most commonly adopted locomotion strategies, perception systems, control architectures and navigation approaches. After having analyzed the state of the art, this paper focuses on the kinematics of three omnidirectional platforms: a four mecanum wheels robot (4WD), a three omni wheel platform (3WD) and a two swerve-drive system (2SWD). Through a dimensionless approach, these three platforms are compared to understand how their mobility is affected by the wheel speed limitations that are present in every practical application. This original comparison has not been already presented by the literature and it can be used to improve our understanding of the kinematics of these mobile robots and to guide the selection of the most appropriate locomotion system according to the specific application.
