AbstractAimGeomorphological processes profoundly affect plant establishment and distributions, but their influence on functional traits is insufficiently understood. Here, we unveil trait–geomorphology relationships in Arctic plant communities.LocationHigh‐Arctic Svalbard, low‐Arctic Greenland and sub‐Arctic Fennoscandia.Time period2011–2018.Major taxa studiedVascular plants.MethodsWe collected field‐quantified data on vegetation, geomorphological processes, microclimate and soil properties from 5,280 plots and 200 species across the three Arctic regions. We combined these data with database trait records to relate local plant community trait composition to dominant geomorphological processes of the Arctic, namely cryoturbation, deflation, fluvial processes and solifluction. We investigated the relationship between plant functional traits and geomorphological processes using hierarchical generalized additive modelling.ResultsOur results demonstrate that community‐level traits are related to geomorphological processes, with cryoturbation most strongly influencing both structural and leaf economic traits. These results were consistent across regions, suggesting a coherent biome‐level trait response to geomorphological processes.Main conclusionsThe results indicate that geomorphological processes shape plant community traits in the Arctic. We provide empirical evidence for the existence of generalizable relationships between plant functional traits and geomorphological processes. The results indicate that the relationships are consistent across these three distinct tundra regions and that geomorphological processes should be considered in future investigations of functional traits.

SummaryThis study investigated the physicochemical and sensory properties of six types of plant‐based milk alternatives prepared from soybean, peanut, adlay, adzuki bean, oat and buckwheat at a 1:9 grain‐to‐water ratio. The results revealed that all plant‐based milk types had stable hydrocolloid systems, except for the buckwheat milk alternative that had undergone a gelatinisation process that affected its rheological and sensory properties. The pH values and total solid content of the prepared plant‐based milk samples ranged between 6.60 to 6.83 and 2.13 to 8.17 g/100 mL, respectively. The sensory results showed that the overall liking score of adlay, adzuki bean and peanut milk alternative was 5.32, 5.30 and 6.10, respectively, suggesting a potential for commercial production. In conclusion, this investigation provides new insights on several new plant sources for plant‐based milk alternatives. Further studies are required to investigate the digestibility and the nutritional effects expected from plant‐based milk alternatives such as protein bioavailability, and the effects on human health compared to other animal milks.
Measuring residential segregation in multi‐ethnic and unequal European cities

Published: May 2022

AbstractImmigration flows and social inequalities reflect increased social and multi‐ethnic segregation in contemporary urban Europe. For a better understanding of these processes, the present study investigates the main strengths of the multi‐group residential indices, testing sensitivity and reliability under different metropolitan contexts in five European countries. These indices focus on different research dimensions and approach multi‐group residential segregation conceptually and mathematically in a different way. A multivariate exploratory data analysis was adopted to classify the observed segregation patterns into a few homogeneous types and to delineate the multivariate relationship between the indices. The results of principal component analysis demonstrate that the indices assessing uniformity and disproportionality of the social groups analysed (H and D) contribute largely to the diversification in today's multi‐ethnic communities, clarifying the importance of the dimension of evenness. Our results highlight how segregation is more evident in economically disadvantaged metropolitan regions with high levels of social vulnerability.
Cultures of unwelcome: Understanding the everyday histories of exclusionary practices – A view from across the German border
Authors: Lems Annika 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis article sheds light on the socio‐cultural dynamics Merkel's open‐door policy set in motion in Austria. Based on the Anti‐Merkel discourses that came to infiltrate Austrian mainstream politics, it will show how the summer of displacements 2015 led to a pronounced move to the right. While many commentators have tended to link the post‐2015 triumph of reactionary parties to the sense of crisis caused by the few months the European Union opened its borders to asylum seekers, the article demonstrates that we need to be more careful in our analyses of the roots of exclusion. By zooming in on the everydayness of anti‐cosmopolitan practices in an Austrian mountain community, it argues that if we are to understand the current backlash against liberal and cosmopolitan ideas we need to pay attention to genealogies of exclusionary practices, or ‘cultures of unwelcome’.
A case study to explore the key factors that influence international students’ immigration intention in Taiwan: A revised model of goal‐directed behaviour
Authors: Huang Rui‐Ting 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe primary purpose of this study is to probe not only the key factors that might influence international students’ attitude towards the host country and their desire to stay there, but also key elements that might enhance their intention to stay in the host country after completing their studies. A total of 211 international students in Taiwan participated in this study. Study results indicated international students’ attitude and their desire to stay in the host country were positively connected with their intention to stay in the host country after completing their study. Additionally, perceived behavioural control, perception of the labour market and subjective norms strongly affect international students’ attitude towards staying in the host country. Third, positive anticipated emotion and negative anticipated emotion play a key role in determining the desire to stay in the host country. The findings of this study suggest policy implications for establishing a more positive immigration policy.
Making sense of (mis)matched frames of reference: A dynamic cognitive theory of (in)stability in HR practices: A dialogue
Authors: Cobb J. Adam 
Published: May 2022

AbstractBudd, Pohler, and Huang (Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society 2021) proposed a theory about how managers’ and employees’ (mis)matched frames of reference regarding employment relationships help explain HR outcomes observed in practice. In this response, I pose some questions about the scope of the theory, possible contingencies, and potential confounding mechanisms in hopes of motivating additional dialogue regarding the importance that frames of reference play in how employment relationships are enacted.
Transformation, Mission, Reconciliation, and Unity
Authors: Kaunda Mutale M. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis article argues that for Christ’s love to be reflected in the Christian call to mission, it should be seen from the perspective of the cross: self‐emptying and selfless love that seeks the good of the other just as the self. It argues that mission is critical for transformation, unity, and reconciliation. There cannot be full realization of unity and of reconciliation without the cross. Mission starts from within before it can reach out to others if it is to bring about human dignity and transformation. Christian mission has been on a pilgrimage of love, justice, peace, and unity for decades. The self‐emptying and a selfless love of the cross is a love that sees the other through the self and brings humanity close to reconciliation, love, and unity. Because the church has been searching for reconciliation and unity for many decades, history shows that there cannot be reconciliation – at least for Christianity – without reference to the cross. At the cross, the love of Christ, the love of God, was shared. This was a love that saw need in the other and was willing to reach from deep within the self out and share this love and bring reconciliation and unity to humanity. The cross symbolizes a love so deep it was willing to die so that the other could have life in full. It was a love that saw the other as equally important and needed to be reconciled.
Missionary Cooperation as a Common Witness of Christian Hope and Fraternity
Authors: Mazzolini Sandra 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSince the Second Vatican Council to our own day, the awareness of the correlation between ecclesial unity and mission has increased within the Roman Catholic tradition and beyond. At the same time, our contemporaneity has challenged Christian traditions to develop the understanding of their evangelizing mission. In this framework, the implications of the link between missionary cooperation and Christian unity can be expressed in terms of a common witness of Christian hope and fraternity. While the first part of this article focuses on perspectives the Second Vatican Council introduced in Ad gentes 35–36, the second part illustrates aspects of their development in today’s context, which open up paths for our future as well.
Strengthening Unity for the Missional Church
Authors: Lin Peirong 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe church, sent by the missional God, participates in God’s mission through both its deeds and its being. The church’s witness is directly related to the unity of its believers. Racism disrupts unity in the church and can be countered only through intentional effort. This paper discusses how theological education can help to counter racism in the church. By “theological education” I refer to learning for all Christians, centred on individual and community formation. The cultivation of belonging is described as key to this formation, based on the fact that humans are created to live our lives together. Two relevant aspects of belonging are further described: our limited situational understanding as creatures and the community we foster together. The acceptance of our limited situational understanding takes a non‐foundationalist view to theology and realizes the need to broaden one’s theological syllabus. As a community, it is important that relationality is fostered. Effort should be taken to recognize one’s personal bias and also to understand the other on their own terms.
Mission Education in Burma, 1600–1948
Authors: Mang Pum Za 
Published: May 2022

AbstractScholars, historians, and researchers who are keenly interested in Burmese studies have not paid enough attention to the considerable roles Christian missionaries played in the history of precolonial and colonial Burma. This article explores the neglected and hidden history of the Western missionaries who introduced modern education to Burma and who educated some of the best minds of the Burmese at that time. Despite missionaries being underrated and criticized by some Burman nationalists and politicians, they made a remarkable contribution to education in Burmese history. Education was and has always been crowned in Christianity, and advancing education remains indispensable to Christian mission in Burma and elsewhere. Public knowledge of this constructive story in history would be helpful for Buddhist–Christian relations.
The Influence of John Dewey’s Pragmatism on the Church Growth Movement
Authors: Pietsch R. Vivian 
Published: May 2022

AbstractMissionary strategies impact the attainment of goals and growth. The fundamental concern for Christian missions ought to be how knowledge is gained and utilized in evangelism and church growth. Christian missions must determine appropriate means to achieve the telos of fulfilling the Great Commission, making disciples, and teaching them to obey all of Christ’s commands. Some missiologists and theologians emphasize the means of missions, while others focus on the end goal of church growth. The Church Growth Movement emphasizes the telos of efficiency in instrumental and experiential church growth, which can be measured and reproduced efficiently by employing pragmatic tools. This article will establish that the Church Growth Movement is indivisible from John Dewey’s philosophy of pragmatism, which had an observable impact on notable Church Growth scholars Donald McGavran and C. Peter Wagner. Dewey’s emphasis on instrumentalism and experiential pragmatism shaped the methodology of the Church Growth Movement, utilizing principles of Wagner’s consecrated pragmatism and evidence‐based growth practices in fulfilling the Great Commission.
“I Believe I Can and Should”: Self‐efficacy, Normative Beliefs and Conservation Behavior
Authors: Pradhananga Amit K. , Davenport Mae A. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis study examines the social‐psychological drivers of conservation action among landowners in Minnesota. In particular, we apply an integrated norm activation theory to understand landowner conservation behavior. Data were collected through a self‐administered mail survey of 3,000 landowners in La Crescent and Reno Watersheds in Southeastern Minnesota and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Study findings show that landowners' conservation action is driven by their feelings of personal obligation, and beliefs about whether one is capable of taking actions to influence outcomes (i.e., self‐efficacy). Landowners who feel a sense of personal obligation and believe that their actions can make a difference are more likely to take conservation actions. Further, landowners who believe it is their personal responsibility to protect water and perceive social expectations are more likely to develop feelings of personal obligation. Importantly, this study highlights the role of self‐efficacy as an activator of personal norm, as well as a driver of conservation behavior. Our study suggests that strategies that appeal to landowners' sense of personal responsibility and self‐expectations, promote conservation action as a social norm, and build landowners' self‐efficacy or confidence in their ability to make a difference, are likely to be successful.

Published: May 2022

AbstractAimDeterministic and neutral processes shape the biogeography of fungi. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), an important group of plant root symbionts, remains poorly studied in the Neotropics. Here, we provided the first molecular survey of AMF diversity and tested whether the environment or space shapes AMF biogeography along a 12° latitudinal transect in the Brazilian Caatinga, a unique tropical dry forest ecoregion.LocationCaatinga, Brazil.TaxonArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycotina).MethodsSoil and root samples were collected across a latitudinal transect of 1500 km within the Brazilian Caatinga. AMF communities were characterized using Illumina LSU amplicon sequencing. Operational taxonomic unit (OTU) richness, composition and phylogenetic niche conservatism were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses, and the potential for new taxa discovery was assessed with BLAST analysis against reference and environmental sequences sets.ResultGlomeraceae was the most abundant and diverse family, resembling more dry Saharo‐Arabian and Australian realms or European croplands than other tropical forests from South America, but 10% of the OTUs could be taxa new to science, especially within Archaeospora, Claroideoglomus, Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Dentiscutata and Redeckera. AMF communities showed strong biogeographical structure inconsistent with a classical latitudinal diversity gradient, which further differed between soil and roots. Soil AMF biogeography best correlated with precipitation; community composition converged and richness increased towards both ends of the latitudinal transect where precipitation increased. Root AMF biogeography correlated to temperature, with decreasing diversity at higher temperatures. We found no evidence of phylogenetic niche conservatism.Main conclusionsNiche‐based processes driven by regional climate, most importantly precipitation and temperature, shape AMF biogeography across the Caatinga, with niche divergence among closely related AMF taxa. Given the expected future decrease in precipitation and increase in temperature, climate change may strongly affect the unique and yet unknown AMF biodiversity in neotropical dry forests.
What kind of learning designs do practitioners create for mobile learning? Lessons learnt from two in‐the‐wild case studies
Authors: Pishtari Gerti , Rodríguez‐Triana María Jesús , Prieto Luis P. , Ruiz‐Calleja Adolfo , Väljataga Terje 
Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundIn the field of Learning Design, it is common that researchers analyse manually design artefacts created by practitioners, using pedagogically‐grounded approaches (e.g., Bloom's Taxonomy), both to understand and later to support practitioners' design practices. Automatizing these high‐level pedagogically‐grounded analyses would enable large‐scale studies on practitioners' design practices. Such an approach would be especially useful in the context of mobile learning, where practitioners' design practices are under‐explored and complex (e.g., involving both formal and informal learning activities, happening between physical and digital spaces).ObjectivesWe inquire about the kind of designs that practitioners create in mobile learning by analysing the entire databases of two m‐learning tools, Avastusrada and Smartzoos, which promote inquiry learning outdoors.MethodsWe use supervised machine learning to classify the textual content of the designs based on the cognitive level required from learners, the inquiry‐based learning phases they cover, and their connection with the learning context (e.g., the role played by the situated environment).Results and ConclusionsResults from the in‐the‐wild studies emphasize practitioners' tendency to design contextualized activities, but that include few higher‐order thinking tasks and elements of inquiry learning. This raises questions about the real‐life pedagogical value of similar mobile learning tools and highlights the need for providing pedagogical guidelines and technical solutions that would promote the adoption of good learning design practices.Major takeaways from the studyWhile we show that machine learning techniques (informed by learning design elements) can enable large‐scale studies and provide useful insights, to best understand and support practitioners' design practices it would be necessary to combine them with other quantitative and quantitative analyses (e.g., a qualitative understanding on why practitioners take specific design decisions). Future research could use similar machine learning approaches to explore other design settings, as well as explore scenarios where similar algorithms can be embedded in design tools, to guide practitioners' design practices.
Score Comparability Issues with At‐Home Testing and How to Address Them
Authors: Puhan Gautam , Kim Sooyeon 
Published: May 2022

AbstractAs a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic, at‐home testing has become a popular delivery mode in many testing programs. When programs offer at‐home testing to expand their service, the score comparability between test takers testing remotely and those testing in a test center is critical. This article summarizes statistical procedures that could be used to evaluate potential mode effects at both the item level and the total score levels. Using operational data from a licensure test, we also compared linking relationships between the test center and at‐home testing groups to determine the reporting score conversion from a subpopulation invariance perspective.
