description: The complexities of intimate partner abuse and violence have been studied from a range of theoretical, conceptual, and methodological
perspectives. It is argued here that symbolic interactionist analyses offer specific and powerful insights into this particular interactional domain.
This article is based on data generated by a topical life-history case study of a well-educated, middle-class, middle-aged man, whose wife subjected him to sustained unilateral violence and abuse, resulting
in deleterious consequences for his health and well-being. Data were gathered via a series of in-depth interviews and a personal diary. The
analysis draws on Goffman’s conceptualization of “possessional territory” as one of the “territories of the self,” in order to examine the role of possessions in the interactional routines of intimate partner abuse. Key words: intimate partner abuse, domestic violence, abused men,
possessional territory, Erving Goffman

description: A recent paper on the geometry of f86v (‘Rosette map’) of the Voynich manuscript suggested the construction of the basic scaffold of the nine discs via multiple use of the golden ratio with geometric ease and precision (link below). This paper now shows for the first time, that it is possible, and likely, that geometric knowledge has been used in aligning text in f86v in form of a spiral. The overlay tests with several spirals provide a valid comparison and alignment with the different types of spirals and show the excellent match and precision with the use of the 'spiral of Theodorus'. Various postulated geographic locations and analyses of the Rosette map are discussed next to other surprising geometric features (parallel alignments, ratios) and potential re-use in other spiral-based imagery in the Voynich manuscript.

description: Depuis sa création en 2009, la Communauté de pratique de veille en santé et services sociaux du Québec (CdPveille3S) a mené quatre évaluations dans une perspective d’amélioration continue. Les membres de cette communauté, spécialistes de l’information préoccupés autant par le transfert des connaissances que par le libre accès à l’information scientifique, partagent ici leurs expériences. En se basant autant sur les données probantes que sur le bagage de connaissances coconstruit par les membres, les auteures traitent tout d’abord des fondements et de l’importance de l’évaluation d’une communauté de pratique. Elles décrivent ensuite la méthodologie d’évaluation, de la mise en place d’un groupe de travail à la mise en œuvre des pistes d’action issues des résultats, en passant par le choix des questions en fonction du cycle de vie de la communauté. Enfin, elles s’intéressent aux retombées pour la pratique, aux enjeux et aux leçons apprises, identifiant des obstacles à surmonter et dégageant des facteurs de succès permettant de rendre la démarche fructueuse à long terme. La version 2020 du questionnaire d’évaluation figure en annexe : elle est utilisable et adaptable par toute communauté désireuse de s’engager dans ce processus.

description: Step Change is a Horizon 2020 Citizen Science (CS) project, which is an emerging field that refers to the active engagement of the general public in scientific research. In fact, during last decades, CS has become increasingly relevant, as witnessed by the rapid diffusion of CS in different research fields, the use of platforms and apps or the establishment of European and national funding programmes aimed at supporting CS projects. This turn is connected to the profound changes affecting science by making it more aligned with the European’s Union (EU) Open Science policy and the European Research Area (ERA), which intends to position open science as the modus operandi of modern science, and seeks as an ultimate goal that “the general public should be able to make significant contributions and be recognised as valid European science knowledge producers”.

 

However, the potential of CS is still partly to be discovered, both as a specific research approach and, more generally, as a policy tool to strengthen the often difficult and even conflicting relations between science and society. Challenges such as data quality and validation, scientific recognition, demonstrated impacts, and sustainability, among others, seem to hold back the whole potential of CS. Step Change has been precisely conceived to provide a great contribution by generating new knowledge useful to explore the potential, but also the critical issues, limitations, and recurrent obstacles of CS as a research approach and evidence-informed-policy tool.

 

Step Change builds on the assumption that CS can play an even broader societal and scientific role than is generally acknowledged. The project implements five Citizen Science Initiatives (CSIs) in the field of health, energy, and environment. The CSIs tackle the issues of wildlife conservation in Slovenia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the UK, energy communities in Germany, infectious disease outbreak preparedness in Italy, and off-grid renewable energy in agriculture in Uganda.

 

The five CSIs have been planned also to provide an empirical basis that allows the formulation of recommendations and the production of instruments for better cementing CS within Research & Innovation institutions, as well as changing researchers’ mindsets on its value.

description: Dilepton spectra are a classic probe to study ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. At √ sNN = 200 GeV, the dimuon continuum is dominated by correlated pairs from semi-leptonic decays of charm and bottom hadrons and the Drell-Yan process. Measuring the azimuthal correlations of heavy flavor decay lepton pairs can help constrain the relative contributions from different heavy flavor production mechanisms in p+p collisions, and may provide further insight on cold nuclear matter effects in p+A collisions. Measuring the Drell-Yan cross-section in p+A collisions can provide constraints to nuclear parton distribution functions, and further our understanding in initial state effects. In this dissertation, measurements of muon pairs from charm, bottom, and Drell-Yan, using data collected by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (PHENIX), in p+p and p+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV are presented.

description: Background: Clinical reasoning is a construct shared by all health professions, which, starting from a problem or a series of symptoms, through the recounting of useful information, arrive at a diagnostic and treatment hypothesis. This paper aims to reflect on the possibility of including the teaching of clinical reasoning within the curricula of psychologists in training, even more so in light of the approval of the law on qualifying degrees. Method: A quasi-experiment was conducted between a group of psychology students exposed to clinical reasoning through a podcast training and another group of students who used a more traditional methodology of studying a script. Results: The findings revealed an improvement in the acquisition of clinical reasoning by the group of students exposed to podcast training in contrast to their colleagues who had studied written materials. Conclusions: The clinical reasoning assessment tool developed in the study could become a very functional tool for assessing the improvement of this skill in future clinical psychologists, even with the benefit of more sophisticated virtual reality technologies for the design of podcasts that would allow for a more immersive and realistic experience.

description: Cooperative learning is a pedagogical approach widely applied in various educational contexts, with particular relevance in the domain of physical education. This approach's practical value in physical education has gained significant recognition. College and university-level physical education instruction aims to enhance students' physical fitness, stimulate their intrinsic motivation for participating in physical activities, and thereby promote their holistic development and well-being. However, several challenges persist in the effective application of cooperative learning within the realm of college physical education instruction. Enhancing the quality of physical education teaching and refining the utilization of cooperative learning pedagogy has emerged as a pivotal concern for physical education educators in higher education
Financial Planning Education and Regulatory Requirements: A Cross Country Comparison between Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and United States of America

description: Conflicted remuneration, corporate collapse, lack of disclosure and a range of unethical practices have served to undermine the reputation of financial advisers over the past thirty to forty years and impeded the recognition of financial planning as a profession. However, a range of education and regulatory reforms over the same period have assisted in the development of financial planning and attempted to lift the professional profile of financial advisers, particularly in the western world. This study includes a comparison of the education and regulatory requirements of four main countries: Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and United States of America to consider how education and regulation in these countries have attempted to mitigate wrongdoings of the past and contribute to the development of financial planning as a profession. A brief history of the education and regulation requirements for financial planning in each country is reviewed, along with reforms that were introduced to improve the quality of financial advice for consumers. The focus of education and regulatory requirements was found to differ across countries, with some countries focusing on disclosure and transparency, or licensing or remuneration structures and others requiring stringent education and qualification requirements or codifying the terms ‘financial adviser’ and ‘financial planner’ in legislation. Regulations outlining a fiduciary duty requirement for financial advisers were common across countries. While there is still no universal approach to the education and regulatory requirements for financial planning, there have been some recent developments which point towards the internationalisation of financial planning and the recognition of financial planning as a discipline it its own right. However, the complexity of education and regulation in the financial planning industry means that this process is likely to take some time and will require academics, educational and professional bodies, financial advisers, industry representatives and regulators to work together on a global scale for this to be realised.
Forgetting test cases

Year: 2024

description: Adaptive Random Testing (ART) methods are Software Testing methods which are based on Random Testing, but which use additional mechanisms to ensure more even and widespread distributions of test cases over an input domain. Restricted Random Testing (RRT) is a version of ART which uses exclusion regions and restriction of test case generation to outside these regions. RRT has been found to perform very well, but incurs some additional computational cost in its restriction of the input domain. This paper presents a method of reducing overheads called Forgetting, where the number of test cases used in the restriction algorithm can be limited, and thus the computational overheads reduced. The motivation for Forgetting comes from its importance as a human strategy for learning. Several implementations are presented and examined using simulations. The results are very encouraging.

description: Research has shown that idealized beauty presented in mass media can have a detrimental effect on body satisfaction, and these idealized images often stem from digital alterations. Consequently, countries like France and Israel employ disclaimers that inform viewers about the use of such modifications. Previous research, primarily conducted with adult women, has pointed out that these disclaimers are ineffective in reducing the perceived realism of the presented images, leading to negative effects on women’s body satisfaction. However, we know little about the effectiveness of such disclaimers for tweens and teens (TT). Using a two-study design, we firstly developed an adolescent-inspired disclaimer in two cocreation workshops with students (N = 47; aged 12–14 years). Secondly, we examined the effectiveness of this newly developed disclaimer in an experimental setting (N = 186; participants aged 10–19 years). We compared the new disclaimer to the existing one as well as to a condition in which there was no disclaimer. Results indicated that disclaimers are a rather unsuccessful way of disclosing the lack of realism of media images for TT, underlining the urgency of developing more effective media literacy measures. IMPACT SUMMARY a. Prior State of Knowledge: Beauty ideals are shaped by media, but these are often set using digitally altered images. Some countries employ disclaimers that inform viewers about alterations. Previous research indicates that these disclaimers are not effective in balancing detrimental effects of unrealistic beauty ideals among adults. b.Novel Contributions: This study focuses on adolescents and considers image alterations on social media. In a cocreation workshop we developed a disclaimer with adolescents, which we employed in an experimental study. Results underline that disclaimers are rather unsuccessful in disclosing the lack of realism of media images. c. Practical Implications: Disclaimers are not a sufficient media literacy measure. Yet, as young audiences are so frequently confronted with altered and perfected images (particularly online), it seems crucial to educate them about these practices in specific media literacy programs.

description: This study investigated the chemical composition, antifungal, antibiofilm and anticholinesterase inhibitory activities of the essential oil from Alpinia glabra Ridl. (Zingiberaceae) from Malaysia. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation and analysed using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), revealing 35 chemical components comprising 98.3% of the total oil. The major components identified were β-cadinene (28.5%), benzaldehyde (8.0%), δ-cadinene (6.0%), (E)-nerolidol (5.4%), α-cadinol (4.8%), and viridiflorol (4.0%). Antifungal tests against Candida albicans (ATCC MYA-4901) and Streptococcus mutans (Ingbritt) showed MIC values of 250 µg/mL. The essential oil increased the biofilm of Candida albicans by 42.14%, however, decreased the biofilm of Streptococcus mutans by 64.41% when treated with 500 µg/mL. The essential oil exhibited moderate anticholinesterase activity with 48.5% and 57.2% inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, respectively, at 500 µg/mL. These findings highlight the potential applications of A. glabra essential oil in antifungal, antibiofilm and anticholinesterase therapies.

The study method, hypotheses and analyses plan are identical to that previous experiment, with one exception: Distractor tasks (articulatory suppression and foot tapping) will be performed during the instruction phase and during task performance (in the previous experiment, distractor tasks were only performed during the instruction phase, not during task performance). Furthermore, one additional exploratory hypothesis (and related analyses) are added (see Sections I4 and AP7). For this reason, in this document I have copied the text from the previously pre-registered document (https://doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.14403) in each section, whilst specifying any changes that are made in the current study.
Surface hydrophobicity modulates the operation of protein molecular motors

description: The modulation of protein molecular motors (actin-myosin) motility has been tested on several candidate materials for microfluidics devices, all having different hydrophobicities, chemistries and nanotopographies. The analysis of the distribution of molecular properties on the molecular surface of the molecular motor protein suggests that the two very different, temporally separated, conformations of the heads exacerbate the impact of the adsorbing surface on protein behavior. The motility on surfaces with moderate hydrophobicity exhibits a bimodal distribution of velocities of actin filaments, which can be explained by the existence of two molecular conformations of surface-immobilized motor, i.e. with one or two free active heads that propel the actin filament. The study demonstrates that PMMA and not nitrocellulose -the classical choice for actin-myosin motility assays- is the optimum material for the fabrication of future nanofluidics devices based on protein molecular motors.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate health-promoting bioactive compounds and related enzymes of grape in response to regulated deficit irrigation under greenhouse and rain-shelter. The experiment had five treatments in 2016: FI (75%–90% of FC [field water holding capacity] from budburst to full maturation), DI (50%–60% of FC from budburst to full maturation), DI1(same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from budburst to anthesis), DI2(same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from anthesis to pea size) and DI3 (same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from pea size to full maturation). Another three treatments were setted in 2017: DI4(same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from pea size to véraison), DI5 (same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from véraison to mid ripening) and DI6 (same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from mid ripening to full maturation). Results showed that deficit irrigation post véraison was an efficient approach for inducing the bioactive compounds biosynthesis. Greenhouse cultivate could increase WUE, yield and improve the content of soluble sugar, Vc, soluble protein. While rain-shelter cultivate could accumulated higher bioactive compounds in grape tissue.

description: Analyses of ring recovery data can relatively rapidly detect excessive mortality in wild bird populations, including that arising from outbreaks of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI). Wild bird populations in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland were significantly impacted by HPAI between 2021 and 2023, causing mass mortality particularly among seabirds and waterbirds. We assessed whether reporting of dead ringed birds (‘recoveries’) provided a rapid way of assessing population impacts of HPAI across multiple species. We quantified ring recoveries from 58 bird species found dead between October 2021 and March 2023, coinciding with an HPAI outbreak in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. To detect and quantify unusual mortalities, we compared these recoveries to baseline recovery trends from 2010/11 to 2020/21, preceding the HPAI outbreak, calculated using generalized linear models and 95% prediction intervals to project the expected upper and lower bounds of recovery numbers into 2021/22 and 2022/23. If observed recoveries exceeded prediction intervals, a species was identified as experiencing excess mortality. Population proportions of impacted species likely to have died during 2021/22 and 2022/23 were estimated from adult survival estimates and ring recovery analysis. Of 53 species investigated, excessive ring recoveries were detected in 14 species: one raptor, eight seabirds and five waterbirds. Striking increases in ring recoveries were displayed by seabirds, aligning with HPAI monitoring via other methods. Mortality estimates varied between species, potentially dependent on biases in ringing effort or detectability. Ring recovery data can rapidly indicate excessive mortality occurring within a population and rapidly estimate annual mortality rates to aid, in this case, quantification of the impact of HPAI on bird populations. Meaningful estimates of excess mortality are most likely where the distribution of ringed birds and search effort are evenly spread across populations.

description: The lipid peroxidation of fatty acids leads to secondary products, among which several carbonyl compounds are of concern in food toxicology. The detection of these reactive aldehydes for identification and evaluation is required. Derivatization is necessary to improve their stability and detection in liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC/HRMS) trace analyses. Therefore, a brominated O-benzylhydroxylamine, namely 1-((ammoniooxy)methyl)-2-bromobenzene chloride, was selected as a new probe for the mild and selective derivatization of carbonyl compounds. New oxime ethers were thus synthesized under mild reaction and workup conditions, with full analytical characterization. The relevance of the chemical reaction was assessed with nine aldehydes, especially conjugated and deuterium-labeled aldehydes, and two ketones. Virtually, the reaction should be applicable to a large set of carbonyl compounds for derivatization in complex biological samples and selective detection of the in situ–synthesized brominated oxime ethers by LC/HRMS methodology.

description: The aim was to evaluate the performance of two hybrid constructed wetlands (HCW) for the treatment of a dairy wastewater at pilot-scale. The HCW1 was composed of vertical flow (VF) and horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF) wetland units while the HCW2 of VF and free water surface (FWS) wetland units. Wastewater, plants, and sediment samples were collected to evaluate the removal efficiency and nutrient accumulation in plant tissues and sediment. Kinetics were evaluated using the volumetric removal rate (k). COD and BOD decrease was significantly higher in HCW1 than in HCW2, due to chemical oxidation prevails in the VF stages and biological processes in the second stage of HCW1, leading to organic matter removal. Total nitrogen (TN) removal was comparable in the two HCW configurations. Nitrogen compounds interconversions were favored in HCW1 due to HSSF wetland conditions and higher plant biomass values in VF stages than in HCW2. Phosphorus removal was favored in FWS. k values showed that HCW1 was kinetically favored. The main strengths of the HSSF wetland were Org-N and NO3--N removals, but the weakness was NH4+-N removal under limited nitrification conditions. The HCW1 was efficient for nitrogen interconversions, leading to higher removal efficiencies than HCW2. This work focused on the evaluation of an engineered nature-based solution under real conditions, for the treatment of dairy wastewater, a regional environmental problem. This study evaluated the performance of two hybrid constructed wetland configurations at pilot-scale to select the best system for the treatment of dairy wastewater. The literature on this type of studies or clear design guidelines for dairy wastewater are scarce in this region. The obtained results could contribute to optimize the treatment area requirements. Besides, studies of kinetics and accumulation of nutrients in plants and sediments were also carried out.

description: In this paper, various implementations of the analytic Hartree–Fock and hybrid density functional energy second derivatives are studied. An approximation-free four-centre implementation is presented, and its accuracy is rigorously analysed in terms of self-consistent field (SCF), coupled-perturbed SCF (CP-SCF) convergence and prescreening criteria. The CP-SCF residual norm convergence threshold turns out to be the most important of these. Final choices of convergence thresholds are made such that an accuracy of the vibrational frequencies of better than 5 cm−1 compared to the numerical noise-free results is obtained, even for the highly sensitive low frequencies (<100–200 cm−1). The effects of the choice of numerical grid for density functional exchange–correlation integrations are studied and various weight derivative schemes are analysed in detail. In the second step of the work, approximations are introduced in order to speed up the computation without compromising its accuracy. To this end, the accuracy and efficiency of the resolution of identity approximation for the Coulomb terms and the semi-numerical chain of spheres approximation to the exchange terms are carefully analysed. It is shown that the largest performance improvements are realised if either Hartree–Fock exchange is absent (pure density functionals) and otherwise, if the exchange terms in the CP-SCF step of the calculation are approximated by the COSX method in conjunction with a small integration grid. Default values for all the involved truncation parameters are suggested. For vancomycine (176 atoms and 3593 basis functions), the RIJCOSX Hessian calculation with the B3LYP functional and the def2-TZVP basis set takes ∼3 days using 16 Intel® Xeon® 2.60GHz processors with the COSX algorithm having a net parallelisation scaling of 11.9 which is at least ∼20 times faster than the calculation without the RIJCOSX approximation.

description: The growing global importance of agroecology highlights the pivotal role public and private sectors play in providing incentives and investments to catalyze behavioural changes and transform food systems. However, limited research exists on incentives for scaling agroecological practices in cacao value chains. This study employed a systematic review approach, focusing on Peruvian cacao sector, to explore incentives promoting agroecological practices and their sustainability outcomes. Findings reveal that within Peru’s cacao value chains, non-market incentives constitute the majority (36%), followed by regulatory measures (25%), market-based incentives (22%), and cross-compliance incentives (17%). Main providers of incentives include certification bodies, community-based organizations, and international funding organizations. Effective incentives include sustainability standards, market support subsidies, in-kind rewards, and agroecological schemes that support the adoption of practices such as intercropping, nature conservation for carbon sequestration, and the use of green and animal manure. These incentives have significantly improved sustainability outcomes: economic (39%), environmental (33%), and social (28%). However, limited use of cross-compliance incentives and modest emphasis on social outcomes highlight the need for policy instruments targeting the adoption of agroecological practices within cacao sector. This study provides insights for policymakers, development agencies, and private-sector to design effective incentivesfor advancing agroecological transitions in Peru and beyond.

description: Secondary metabolite phenotypes in nine species of the Hamigera clade were analysed to assess their correlations to a multi-gene species-level phylogeny. High-pressure-liquid-chromatography-based chemical analysis revealed three distinctive patterns of secondary metabolite production: (1) the nine species could be divided into two groups on the basis of production of the sesquiterpene tricinonoic acid; (2) the tricinonoic acid-producing group produced two cyclic peptides avellanins A and B; (3) the tricinonoic acid-non-producing group could be further divided into two groups according to the production of avellanins A and B. The chemical phenotype was consistent with the phylogeny of the species, although metabolite patterns were not diagnostic at the species level. In addition, the taxonomy of the Hamigera clade was updated with the new combination Hamigera ingelheimensis proposed for Merimbla ingelheimensis, so that all species in the clade are now in the same genus.

Taxonomic composition of Scarabaeinae dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) inhabiting fluvial islands in the southern Brazilian Amazon

description: We evaluated the taxonomic composition of Scarabaeinae dung beetles inhabiting fluvial islands in Juruena River, southern Brazilian Amazon.We sampled seven islands and two localities on each side of the mainland.We collected 41 species, all of which are widely distributed in the Amazon rainforest. Nine of these were exclusive to the islands, 24 were exclusively found on the mainland while eight species were found in both the islands and the mainland. The insular dung beetle fauna is mainly composed of typical species of várzea forest or edge forest/gap with the absence of Eurysternus and elements of primary forest in the Amazon. This result suggests that three main processes are shaping these communities: flooding and associated disturbance events, resource competition (presence of primates) and differential dispersal power among species. Depending on the context and age of island formation all these processes could have different levels of importance. Specific questions regarding these processes requires a previous knowledge of the taxonomic composition of these communities.
