AbstractThe regeneration of the Global South is the regeneration of our beautiful planet. Recognising the immense transformation required to reach this aspiration, we remember that evolution is the death of the obsolete and the birth of the new. We acknowledge the critically flawed philosophies, arguments and institutional frameworks that define recent human history: fragmentation by modernity, sanitised reductionism of mechanistic thought, dominating exploitation of entrenched inequality. Standing at the precipice of civilisational collapse, we see and make visible the forces set in motion by hegemonic powers past and present—these run deep, strong undercurrents throughout our globalised capitalist human systems, today and tomorrow. Our ability to dance with complexity and chaos, even if awkwardly at first, underscores the emergent experimentation desperately needed to find new routes to our possible futures. A pluriverse already exists and awaits us, where restored and newly fostered ecosystems co-evolve with our freshly reinvigorated humanity.
Chinese Cultural Treasures as Contributions to a Mindset of Interconnectedness for Global Transformations
Authors: Fang Man 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis chapter elaborates how the cultural perspective of Chinese philosophy supports an interconnected worldview. The author elaborates how three fundamental Chinese traditional beliefs not only manifest in social life in China, but could make a decisive contribution to the emerging narratives around regenerative civilization. In Chinese harmonic philosophy, the assumption is that in their core all people are good and kind and that part of the social obligation is to grow by taking care and trusting each other, while protecting the essential human virtues in a harmonic atmosphere. In this philosophical tradition, personal development is not isolated from others, and it begins in the self and emerges gradually into the family-oriented self, then into the extended family-oriented self, and finally into taking responsibility for one’s organization, the community, and even the state, respectively, the globality of all people. All these layers are inseparably linked. The author suggests that China’s contribution to mastering the global challenges in the Anthropocene goes far beyond technological and political capacities to meet ecological, social, and ecological targets. The treasures of Chinese philosophy offer opportunities to reframe our views of reality in a way that may be much more in service of well-being on a healthy planet.

ZusammenfassungAktuelle Digitalisierungs- und Datafizierungsprozesse stellen heutige Gesellschaften in Hinblick auf Nachhaltigkeit vor große Herausforderungen. Versteht man aus einer sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive unter Digitalisierung die Bedeutungszunahme digitaler Medien für (fast) alle gesellschaftlichen Bereiche und sozialen Beziehungen, so stellt genau diese Bedeutungszunahme, die auch zu einer steigenden Anzahl digitaler Medientechnologien in der Gesellschaft führt, diese vor einige zentrale Probleme. Eng verknüpft mit dem Prozess der Digitalisierung ist der der Datafizierung, indem viele Aspekte der Welt in Daten übersetzt werden, sodass riesige Datenmengen entstehen: „Big Data“. Die Bedeutungszunahme digitaler Medien und digitaler Kommunikation sowie die Generierung von „Big Data“ führt nicht nur in Hinblick auf Datensicherheit und den Schutz der Privatheit zu Problemen, sondern stellt aktuelle Gesellschaften auch vor sozial-ökologische Herausforderungen und Fragen der Nachhaltigkeit. Denn nicht nur die Produktion von Medientechnologien, sondern auch die Speicherung riesiger Datenmengen in Serverfarmen sowie die Entsorgung nicht mehr genutzter Medienapparate verursachen einen enormen Ressourcen- und Energierverbrauch und haben komplexe negative sozial-ökologische Auswirkungen. Wie Individuen, Nichtregierungsorganisationen und Unternehmen diesen Herausforderungen begegnen und digitale Medien nutzen, um zu einer nachhaltigen Gesellschaft beizutragen, ist die zentrale Forschungsfrage der vorliegenden Publikation. Die Autorin rekonstruiert die sozial-ökologischen Folgen aktueller Digitalisierungsprozesse und zeigt anhand dreier Fallstudien, wie verschiedene Akteur*innen Digitalisierung nachhaltiger gestalten (wollen): Neben dem Reparieren von Medientechnologien in Repair Cafés wurde die Produktion und Aneignung fairer Medientechnologien am Beispiel des Fairphones untersucht sowie Onlineplattformen, die für nachhaltigen Konsum werben, am Beispiel von utopia.de. Sind dies Beispiele für Medienpraktiken, die das Ziel der Nachhaltigkeit verfolgen, so werden in der vergleichenden Analyse auch Grenzen und Ambivalenzen dieses Handelns offenbar. In diesem einleitenden Kapitel skizziert die Autorin die sozial-ökolgischen Folgen aktueller Digitalisierung und Datafizierung sowie die theoretischen Grundlagen der hier diskutierten empirischen Studie, sie beschreibt das methodische Vorgehen dieser, weist auf zentrale Ergebnisse hin und umreißt den Aufbau der gesamten Publikation. Schließlich wird die Verantwortung der Kommunikations- und Medienforschung unterstrichen, die sozial-ökologischen Folgen aktueller Digitalisierung und Datafizierung sichtbar zu machen und die Möglichkeiten einer nachhaltigen Gestaltung digitaler Gesellschaften zu untersuchen.

AbstractSugarcane, with its exceptional carbon dioxide assimilation, biomass and sugar yield, has a high potential for the production of bio-energy, bio-plastics and high-value products in the food and pharmaceutical industries. A crucial challenge for long-term economic viability and environmental sustainability is also to optimize the production of biomass composition and carbon sequestration. Sugarcane varieties such as KQ228 and Q253 are highly utilized in the industry. These varieties are characterized by a high early-season sugar content associated with high yield. In order to investigate these correlations, 1,440 internodes were collected and combined to generate a set of 120 samples in triplicate across 24 sugarcane cultivars at five different development stages. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used and revealed for the first time two sets of co-expressed genes with a distinct and opposite correlation between fibre and sugar content. Gene identification and metabolism pathways analysis was used to define these two sets of genes. Correlation analysis identified a large number of interconnected metabolic pathways linked to sugar content and fibre content. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of gene expression revealed a stronger level of segregation associated with the genotypes than the stage of development, suggesting a dominant genetic influence on biomass composition and facilitating breeding selection. Characterization of these two groups of co-expressed key genes can help to improve breeding program for high fibre, high sugar species or plant synthetic biology.
Skarn-style alteration in Proterozoic metasedimentary protoliths hosting IOCG mineralization: the Island Dam Prospect, South Australia

AbstractNew mineralogical, geochemical, and geochronological data are presented for the Island Dam prospect, Olympic Cu-Au Province, South Australia. Skarn assemblages comprising actinolite/phlogopite + K-feldspar + magnetite suggest the presence of calcareous protoliths at Island Dam and indicate high-temperature alkali-calcic alteration in the early stages of IOCG mineralization, as seen in other deposits in the region. Dating of lamellar hematite intergrown with Cu-Fe-sulfides allows the timing of the alteration-mineralization event to be constrained at 1594 ± 28 Ma, contemporaneous with the ~ 1.59 Ga IOCG mineralization event recorded across the eastern Gawler Craton. The host metasedimentary sequence can be correlated to the Wallaroo Group based on lithology and fabrics, and stratigraphically by an underlying ~ 1850 Ma Donington Suite granite and the new U–Pb ages for superimposed mineralization. Oscillatory zoned silician magnetite in skarn displays a trace element signature comparable to that observed in the outer shell of the Olympic Dam deposit and the nearby Wirrda Well prospect and is consistent with early stages of IOCG mineralization. The geochemical signatures of hematite from skarn and banded Fe-rich metasedimentary rocks share a common enrichment in W, Sn, Mo, Th, and U seen in hematite from IOCG-style mineralization across the Gawler Craton. Relative enrichment in As, Sb, Ni, and Co is, however, specific to iron-oxides from banded Fe-rich metasedimentary rocks. These features can be attributed to pre-existing iron-rich lithologies.

Abstract
Background
Data on the safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) compared to drug-eluting stent (DES) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are scarce, particularly at long term. This pre-specified analysis aimed to investigate the 3-year efficacy and safety of DCB versus DES for small coronary artery disease (< 3 mm) according to renal function at baseline.

Methods
BASKET-SMALL-2 was a large multi-center, randomized, controlled trial that tested the efficacy and safety of DCBs (n = 382) against DESs (n = 376) in small vessel disease. CKD was defined as eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization (MACE) during 3 years.

Results
A total of 174/758 (23%) patients had CKD, out of which 91 were randomized to DCB and 83 to DES implantation. The primary efficacy outcome during 3 years was similar in both, DCB and DES patients (HR 0.98; 95%-CI 0.67–1.44; p = 0.937) and patients with and without CKD (HR 1.18; 95%-CI 0.76–1.83; p = 0.462), respectively. Rates of cardiac death and all-cause death were significantly higher among patients with CKD but not affected by treatment with DCB or DES. Major bleeding events were lower in the DCB when compared to the DES group (12 vs. 3, HR 0.26; 95%-CI 0.07–0.92; p = 0.037) and not influenced by presence of CKD.

Conclusions
The long-term efficacy and safety of DCB was similar in patients with and without CKD. The use of DCB was associated with significantly fewer major bleeding events (NCT 01574534).

Abstract
Purpose
Iatrogenic instability of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) following distal clavicle excision (DCE) represents an infrequent pathology. Revision surgery to restore ACJ stability and alleviate concomitant pain is challenging due to altered anatomic relationships. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the used salvage techniques and postoperative functional and radiological outcomes in retrospectively identify patients with a painful ACJ following DCE. We hypothesized that iatrogenic instability leads to ongoing impairment of shoulder function despite secondary surgical stabilization.

Methods
9 patients with a painful ACJ after DCE (6 men, 3 women, 43.3 ± 9.4 years) were followed up at a minimum of 36 months after revision surgery. Besides range of motion (ROM), strength and function were evaluated with validated evaluation tools including the Constant score and the DASH score (Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire), specific AC Score (SACS), Nottingham Clavicle Score (NCS), Taft score and Acromioclavicular Joint Instability Score (AJI). Additionally, postoperative X-rays were compared to the unaffected side, measuring the coracoclavicular (CC) and acromioclavicular (AC) distance.

Results
At follow-up survey (55.8 ± 18.8 months) all patients but one demonstrated clinical ACJ stability after arthroscopically assisted anatomical ACJ reconstruction with an autologous hamstring graft. Reconstruction techniques were dependent on the direction of instability. The functional results demonstrated moderate shoulder and ACJ scores with a Constant Score of 77.3 ± 15.4, DASH-score of 51.2 ± 23.4, SACS 32.6 ± 23.8, NCS 77.8 ± 14.2, AJI 75 ± 14.7 points and Taft Score 7.6 ± 3.4 points. All patients stated they would undergo the revision surgery again. Mean postoperative CC-distance (8.3 ± 2.8 mm) did not differ significantly from the contralateral side (8.5 ± 1.6 mm) (p > 0,05). However, the mean AC distance was significantly greater with 16.5 ± 5.8 mm compared to the contralateral side (3.5 ± 1.9 mm) (p = 0.012).

Conclusion
Symptomatic iatrogenic ACJ instability following DCE is rare. Arthroscopically assisted revision surgery with an autologous hamstring graft improved ACJ stability in eight out of nine cases (88.9%). However, the functional scores showed ongoing impairment of shoulder function and a relatively high overall complication rate (33.3%). Therefore, this study underlines the importance of precise preoperative indication and planning and, especially, the preservation of ACJ stability when performing AC joint resection procedures.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Objective
Recent studies revealed intriguing associations between cholecalciferol (D3) and reproductive functions. Seasonal changes of D3 concentrations are well known; however, they are not always considered in the context of reproductive functions. In this study, we analyzed D3 serum concentration in IVF/ICSI patients with respect to seasonal 3-month quartiles and anti-Muellerian hormone (AMH) referring to the impact on Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) outcome.

Materials and research methods
We studied 469 female patients, presenting between 2012 and 2018 for ART treatment in our fertility center. D3 as well as the AMH serum concentrations were measured at the beginning of the follicle stimulation (days 3–5 of menstrual cycles). Results were evaluated with respect to seasonal quartiles and outcome of the ART cycles.

Results
D3 concentrations showed significant fluctuations within annual quartiles with a pronounced peak in August–October and a minimum in February–April (26.0 vs. 20.5 mg/dl; p < 0.0001). Similar seasonal dynamics were found for AMH (2.98 vs. 1.78 ng/ml; p = 0.010) and these were associated with significantly shorter stimulation periods during August–October (11.29 vs. 12.12 days; p = 0.042), higher number of fertilized oocytes between August and October (6.23 vs. 4.97; p = 0.05) along with a trend towards higher numbers of cumulus–oocyte complexes. However, no such differences were found for the numbers of MII oocytes or pregnancy rates.

Conclusion
Our data indicate seasonal 3-month quartile variations of AMH concentrations and characteristics of ART, such as days of ovarian stimulation and number of fertilized oocytes. Highest AMH concentrations were found between August and October and this quartile was associated with highest D3 concentrations.
The experiential basis of compatibility effects in reading-by-rotating paradigms
Authors: Capuano Francesca , Claus Berry , Kaup Barbara 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe current study originates from inconsistent findings within the framework of embodied language processing, specifically in the reading-by-rotating literature: whereas some studies report a match advantage (e.g., Zwaan and Taylor (J Exp Psychol 135:1, 2006)), i.e., shorter reading times when the direction of a linguistically conveyed manual rotation matched rather than mismatched the direction of an actually to be performed manual rotation Claus (Acta Psychol 156:104–113, 2015) found a mismatch advantage. The current study addresses two explanations that were previously discussed as potentially responsible for this inconsistency: on the one hand, differences in the knob devices employed; on the other hand, differences in the perspectives adopted by the readers depending on the number of characters involved in the narratives. Concurrently, the study exploits individual differences in motoric experience to explore the experiential basis of action-sentence compatibility effects. The results are inconclusive with respect to the two explanations. However, in their overall picture, they contribute suggestive considerations for the ongoing debate on action-simulation effects by pointing to the potential role of interindividual variation in motoric experience.

Abstract
Background
Ultrasonography (US) is widely used for the diagnosis of liver tumors. However, the accuracy of the diagnosis largely depends on the visual perception of humans. Hence, we aimed to construct artificial intelligence (AI) models for the diagnosis of liver tumors in US.

Methods
We constructed three AI models based on still B-mode images: model-1 using 24,675 images, model-2 using 57,145 images, and model-3 using 70,950 images. A convolutional neural network was used to train the US images. The four-class liver tumor discrimination by AI, namely, cysts, hemangiomas, hepatocellular carcinoma, and metastatic tumors, was examined. The accuracy of the AI diagnosis was evaluated using tenfold cross-validation. The diagnostic performances of the AI models and human experts were also compared using an independent test cohort of video images.

Results
The diagnostic accuracies of model-1, model-2, and model-3 in the four tumor types are 86.8%, 91.0%, and 91.1%, whereas those for malignant tumor are 91.3%, 94.3%, and 94.3%, respectively. In the independent comparison of the AIs and physicians, the percentages of correct diagnoses (accuracies) by the AIs are 80.0%, 81.8%, and 89.1% in model-1, model-2, and model-3, respectively. Meanwhile, the median percentages of correct diagnoses are 67.3% (range 63.6%–69.1%) and 47.3% (45.5%–47.3%) by human experts and non-experts, respectively.

Conclusion
The performance of the AI models surpassed that of human experts in the four-class discrimination and benign and malignant discrimination of liver tumors. Thus, the AI models can help prevent human errors in US diagnosis.
Medicated corn feeders to disinfest cattle fever ticks, Boophilus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae), from a suburban population of white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus (Cervidae)
Authors: Thomas Donald B. , Duhaime Roberta 
Published: March 2022

AbstractFollowing its eradication from the USA, the cattle fever tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini), a vector of bovine babesiosis, has made episodic incursions into, and sometimes beyond, an established barrier zone separating tick-free from endemic areas. In large part the incursions involve hosting and transport by wild ungulates, particularly deer and antelope. One approach to disinfest ticks from wild hosts is with food baits medicated to stop parasites. The approach has had mixed success due to factors that have been previously identified with supplemental feeding of wildlife especially competition for the bait, social dominance behavior, and the availability of alternative food sources. Given that not all of the target hosts will intake a therapeutic dose of the medication (ivermectin) at all seasons of the year, an open question is whether the approach is efficacious as a stand-alone treatment or even as part of an integrated program. As detailed in the present study an intensive effort was successful in eradicating a local outbreak of fever ticks.
The Dawn of the AI Robots: Towards a New Framework of AI Robot Accountability
Authors: Tóth Zsófia , Caruana Robert , Gruber Thorsten , Loebbecke Claudia 
Published: March 2022

AbstractBusiness, management, and business ethics literature pay little attention to the topic of AI robots. The broad spectrum of potential ethical issues pertains to using driverless cars, AI robots in care homes, and in the military, such as Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems. However, there is a scarcity of in-depth theoretical, methodological, or empirical studies that address these ethical issues, for instance, the impact of morality and where accountability resides in AI robots’ use. To address this dearth, this study offers a conceptual framework that interpretively develops the ethical implications of AI robot applications, drawing on descriptive and normative ethical theory. The new framework elaborates on how the locus of morality (human to AI agency) and moral intensity combine within context-specific AI robot applications, and how this might influence accountability thinking. Our theorization indicates that in situations of escalating AI agency and situational moral intensity, accountability is widely dispersed between actors and institutions. ‘Accountability clusters’ are outlined to illustrate interrelationships between the locus of morality, moral intensity, and accountability and how these invoke different categorical responses: (i) illegal, (ii) immoral, (iii) permissible, and (iv) supererogatory pertaining to using AI robots. These enable discussion of the ethical implications of using AI robots, and associated accountability challenges for a constellation of actors—from designer, individual/organizational users to the normative and regulative approaches of industrial/governmental bodies and intergovernmental regimes.
