description: Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has recently been extended in several directions. Heterogeneous PSO (HPSO) is one of such recent extensions, which implements behavioural heterogeneity of particles. In this paper, we propose a further extended version, Hierarchcial Heterogeenous PSO (HHPSO), in which heterogeneous behaviors of particles are enforced through interactions among hierarchically structured particles. Two algorithms have been developed and studied: multi-layer HHPSO (ml-HHPSO) and multi-group HHPSO (mg-HHPSO). In each HHPSO algorithm, stagnancy and overcrowding detection mechanisms were implemented to avoid premature convergence. The algorithm performance was measured on a set of benchmark functions and compared with performances of standard PSO (SPSO) and HPSO. The results demonstrated that both ml-HHPSO and mg-HHPSO performed well on all testing problems and significantly outperformed SPSO and HPSO in terms of solution accuracy, convergence speed and diversity maintenance. Further computational experiments revealed the optimal frequencies of stagnation and overcrowding detection for each HHPSO algorithm.

description: Introduction: Globally, the use of vapes, or e-cigarettes, is increasing. While vaping is less harmful than smoking and may help smokers to quit, there is also the possibility that vaping may lead to smoking. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of vaping and smoking in Aotearoa New Zealand and explore longitudinal pathways between smoking status and vape use. Method: Data related to smoking and vaping status was analysed from Times 10, 11 and 12 across 2018–2020 of the New Zealand Attitudes and Values study, a large, representative, multi-wave study of adults living in New Zealand. Weighted descriptive analyses were used to determine prevalence rates of vaping and smoking and a generalised linear modelling approach was used to examine the likelihood of changing to, or taking up, the other behaviour in the transition between time points. Results: Broadly, the prevalence of smoking was found to be decreasing over time while the prevalence of vaping was increasing. Despite these general trends, no differences were observed in the likelihood of transitioning from smoking to vaping or from vaping to smoking, indicating that either pathway was equally as likely. Discussion and Conclusions: The current findings demonstrate that vaping appeared to be just as likely to have a gateway effect to smoking as it was to have a cessation effect. This highlights the need for greater consideration regarding vaping-related policies and restrictions.

description: Information about land cover (LC) and land use is fundamental in various areas of research regarding the Earth's surface. However, field campaigns are costly and time consuming while existing data sets have strong limitations. Classification of LC by remote sensing, although considered a technically and methodologically challenging task, can facilitate mapping initiatives at various scales. This study suggests an efficient and robust methodology of LC classification with minimal user requirements. The study site is Greece which faces a lack of up to date LC maps at national scale. In this context we employed Landsat imagery, open source software and the random forest classification algorithm to produce a high resolution national LC map for 2010. The algorithm was trained semi-automatically, extracting information from available data sets. The results are promising, achieving an overall accuracy of 83%. The methodology presented minimizes many obstacles that lead to data deficiencies and can act as a baseline for future LC mapping initiatives.

description: Introduction: Alcohol dependence is a chronic condition impacting millions of individuals worldwide. Safe and effective medicines to reduce relapse can be prescribed by general practitioners but are underutilised in the general Australian population. Prescription rates of these medicines to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (First Nations) Australians in primary care are unknown. We assess these medicines in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services and identify factors associated with prescription. Methods: Baseline data (spanning 12 months) were used from a cluster randomised trial involving 22 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services. We describe the proportion of First Nations patients aged 15+ who were prescribed a relapse prevention medicine: naltrexone, acamprosate or disulfiram. We explore associations between receiving a prescription, a patient AUDIT-C score and demographics (gender, age, service remoteness) using logistic regression. Results: During the 12-month period, 52,678 patients attended the 22 services. Prescriptions were issued for 118 (0.2%) patients (acamprosate n = 62; naltrexone n = 58; disulfiram n = 2; combinations n = 4). Of the total patients, 1.6% were ‘likely dependent’ (AUDIT-C ≥ 9), of whom only 3.4% received prescriptions for these medicines. In contrast, 60.2% of those who received a prescription had no AUDIT-C score. In multivariate analysis, receiving a script (OR = 3.29, 95% CI 2.25–4.77) was predicted by AUDIT-C screening, male gender (OR = 2.24, 95% CI 1.55–3.29), middle age (35–54 years; OR = 14.41, 95% CI 5.99–47.31) and urban service (OR = 2.87, 95% CI 1.61–5.60). Discussion and Conclusions: Work is needed to increase the prescription of relapse prevention medicines when dependence is detected. Potential barriers to prescription and appropriate ways to overcome these need to be identified.

description: The principles of least restrictive care and recovery-focused practice are promoted as contemporary practice in the care of individuals with mental ill health, underpinning legislation concerning mental health and illness in many jurisdictions worldwide. Inpatient mental health units with locked doors are incompatible with this style of care and throwback to a time where care for mental illness was primarily custodial. The aim of this scoping review is to determine whether evidence exists for locking mental health unit doors, whether this practice is compatible with recovery-focused care and to determine whether door locking has changed since a review conducted by Van Der Merwe et al. (Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 16, 2009, 293) found that door locking was not the preferred practice in the management of acute mental health units. We used Arksey and O'Malley's (International Journal of Social Research Methodology: Theory and Practice, 8, 2005, 19) framework for scoping reviews, with our initial search locating 1377 studies, with screening narrowing final papers for inclusion to 20. Methodologies for papers included 12 using quantitative methodology, 5 qualitative and 3 that used mixed methods designs. Poor evidence was found for door locking to mitigate risks such as absconding, aggression or illicit substance importation. Furthermore, locked doors had a detrimental impact on the therapeutic relationship, nurse job satisfaction and intention to leave the profession. This scoping review indicates that research is urgently needed to address a mental healthcare culture where door locking is an entrenched practice. Studies of alternative approaches to risk management are required to ensure inpatient mental health units are truly least-restrictive, therapeutic environments.
Variable effects of biochar and P solubilizing microbes on crop productivity in different soil conditions

description: ABSTRACTAn expanding body of literature informs that biochar improves soil quality and agricultural productivity. However, there are some reports of little, or even negative, effect of biochar on crop yield, depending on the type of biochar feedstock, pyrolysis process, soil nutrient status, and crop species. Biochar is known to adsorb ammonia and phosphates in soil and facilitate growth and activities of phosphorus (P) solubilizing microbes (PSM), which mobilize P for uptake by plant roots. Using slow-pyrolyzed wood biochar and PSM in different soil conditions in three countries, our experiements show that soil nutrient status is more determinant of beneficial agronomic effect of biochar than the feedstock species and the type of crop. Treatments with biochar and PSM entail significant yield increase in P-deficient soil, whereas in soils with high P content, biochar has no significant effect on crop yield, regardless of addition of PSM. Based on published empirical data as well as our own findings, we also present a mathematical model of plant uptake of bioavailable P at different soil P concentrations, which explains that biochar is ineffective to enhance PSM activity for P mobilization in phosphate-rich soil, but significantly improves crop productivity in P-deficient soil.

description: Estimation of high-dimensional covariance matrices is an interesting and important research topic. In this article, we propose a dynamic structure and develop an estimation procedure for high-dimensional covariance matrices. Asymptotic properties are derived to justify the estimation procedure and simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate its performance when the sample size is finite. By exploring a financial application, an empirical study shows that portfolio allocation based on dynamic high-dimensional covariance matrices can significantly outperform the market from 1995 to 2014. Our proposed method also outperforms portfolio allocation based on the sample covariance matrix, the covariance matrix based on factor models, and the shrinkage estimator of covariance matrix.

description: Quantifying long-term historical climate is fundamental to understanding recent climate change. Most instrumentally recorded climate data are only available for the past 200 years, so proxy observations from natural archives are often considered. We describe a model-based approach to reconstructing climate defined in terms of raw tree-ring measurement data that simultaneously accounts for nonclimatic and climatic variability. In this approach, we specify a joint model for the tree-ring data and climate variable that we fit using Bayesian inference. We consider a range of prior densities and compare the modeling approach to current methodology using an example case of Scots pine from Torneträsk, Sweden, to reconstruct growing season temperature. We describe how current approaches translate into particular model assumptions. We explore how changes to various components in the model-based approach affect the resulting reconstruction. We show that minor changes in model specification can have little effect on model fit but lead to large changes in the predictions. In particular, the periods of relatively warmer and cooler temperatures are robust between models, but the magnitude of the resulting temperatures is highly model dependent. Such sensitivity may not be apparent with traditional approaches because the underlying statistical model is often hidden or poorly described.

description: A series of mononuclear binary and ternary Cu(I) complexes with formato, formamide, methylphenol and methanethiolato ligands were optimized at DFT-B3LYP/6-31G** (BS1) and DFT-B3LYP/6-311++G** (BS2) levels of theory. The solvent effect was taken into account via PCM method (BS1W and BS2W, respectively). The coordination arrangement for [CuI(SCH3/S(H)CH3)(OOCH)]-/0 and [CuI(SCH3/S(H)CH3)(O(H)(C6H4)CH3)]0/+ was pseudo-linear and for [CuI(SCH3/S(H)CH3)(OOCH)(OC(H)NH2)]-/0 was pseudo-trigonal. The [CuI(S-S(H)CH3/CuI(S-SCH3)]+/0 link even to amide carbonyl and to general O(H)R residues (R = C6H5CH3). [CuI(SCH3)2(O(H)(C6H4)CH3)]- went towards dissociation of the O(H)(C6H4)CH3 ligand, whereas [CuI(S(H)CH3)2(O(H)(C6H4)CH3)]+ converged nicely, maintaining the hydroxy function linked to the metal. The trends of total electronic energies seemed to be significant, suggesting that linear CuIS2 coordination is more suitable than CuIS, CuIS3 and CuIS4 arrangements. The formation energies of [CuI(S(H)CH3/SCH3)(OOCH)]0/−1 were higher than those of [CuI(S(H)CH3/SCH3)2]+/- on starting from [CuI(S(H)CH3/CuI(SCH3)]+/0 by ca. 11–9 kcal/mol (BS2W). The structural arrangements, bond distances and angles as well as computed spectroscopic parameters resulted in good agreement with experimental data for corresponding synthetic complexes and with metal site regions of several copper(I)-proteins. These data help in interpreting structural data of complex biological systems and in constructing reliable force fields for molecular mechanics computations.

description: The principles of least restrictive care and recovery-focused practice are promoted as contemporary practice in the care of individuals with mental ill health, underpinning legislation concerning mental health and illness in many jurisdictions worldwide. Inpatient mental health units with locked doors are incompatible with this style of care and throwback to a time where care for mental illness was primarily custodial. The aim of this scoping review is to determine whether evidence exists for locking mental health unit doors, whether this practice is compatible with recovery-focused care and to determine whether door locking has changed since a review conducted by Van Der Merwe et al. (Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 16, 2009, 293) found that door locking was not the preferred practice in the management of acute mental health units. We used Arksey and O'Malley's (International Journal of Social Research Methodology: Theory and Practice, 8, 2005, 19) framework for scoping reviews, with our initial search locating 1377 studies, with screening narrowing final papers for inclusion to 20. Methodologies for papers included 12 using quantitative methodology, 5 qualitative and 3 that used mixed methods designs. Poor evidence was found for door locking to mitigate risks such as absconding, aggression or illicit substance importation. Furthermore, locked doors had a detrimental impact on the therapeutic relationship, nurse job satisfaction and intention to leave the profession. This scoping review indicates that research is urgently needed to address a mental healthcare culture where door locking is an entrenched practice. Studies of alternative approaches to risk management are required to ensure inpatient mental health units are truly least-restrictive, therapeutic environments.
Variable effects of biochar and P solubilizing microbes on crop productivity in different soil conditions

description: ABSTRACTAn expanding body of literature informs that biochar improves soil quality and agricultural productivity. However, there are some reports of little, or even negative, effect of biochar on crop yield, depending on the type of biochar feedstock, pyrolysis process, soil nutrient status, and crop species. Biochar is known to adsorb ammonia and phosphates in soil and facilitate growth and activities of phosphorus (P) solubilizing microbes (PSM), which mobilize P for uptake by plant roots. Using slow-pyrolyzed wood biochar and PSM in different soil conditions in three countries, our experiements show that soil nutrient status is more determinant of beneficial agronomic effect of biochar than the feedstock species and the type of crop. Treatments with biochar and PSM entail significant yield increase in P-deficient soil, whereas in soils with high P content, biochar has no significant effect on crop yield, regardless of addition of PSM. Based on published empirical data as well as our own findings, we also present a mathematical model of plant uptake of bioavailable P at different soil P concentrations, which explains that biochar is ineffective to enhance PSM activity for P mobilization in phosphate-rich soil, but significantly improves crop productivity in P-deficient soil.

Abstract. The Mallee Whipbird (White-bellied Whipbird) Psophodes nigrogularis leucogaster is a threatened passerine restricted to mallee-heath vegetation in the Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula and southern Murray Mallee region of eastern South Australia and western Victoria. This taxon is both difficult to detect and has undergone significant declines in range and abundance over the past century. The last records in Victoria were made in 1985 in the Big Desert State Forest. Here, we report a new record in the Big Desert Wilderness Park made in October 2022. This record was the result of extensive field surveys targeting this and other threatened mallee bird taxa. We also recorded the Mallee Whipbird in the adjoining Ngarkat Conservation Park (South Australia), 5 years after the most recent record in that reserve and only the second record there after extensive wildfires in 2014. Both records were in vegetation burnt 8 years earlier, with a mix of low whipstick mallee (Narrowleaved Red Mallee Eucalyptus leptophylla) and diverse regenerating heath vegetation. The Mallee Whipbird must now be considered one of Victoria’s rarest resident birds, with only one location known for the state.
