Abstract: Foliar traits such as specific leaf area (SLA), leaf nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) concentrations play important roles in plant economic strategies and ecosystem functioning. Various global maps of these foliar traits have been generated using statistical upscaling approaches based on in-situ trait observations. Here, we intercompare such global upscaled foliar trait maps at 0.5° spatial resolution (six maps for SLA, five for N, three for P), categorize the upscaling approaches used to generate them, and evaluate the maps with trait estimates from a global database of vegetation plots (sPlotOpen). We disentangled the contributions from different plant functional types (PFTs) to the upscaled maps and quantified the impacts of using different plot-level trait metrics on the evaluation with sPlotOpen: community weighted mean (CWM) and top-of-canopy weighted mean (TWM). We found that the global foliar trait maps of SLA and N differ drastically and fall into two groups that are almost uncorrelated (for P only maps from one group were available). The primary factor explaining the differences between these groups is the use of PFT information combined with remote sensing-derived land cover products in one group while the other group mostly relied on environmental predictors alone. The maps that used PFT and corresponding land cover information exhibit considerable similarities in spatial patterns that are strongly driven by land cover. The maps not using PFTs show a lower level of similarity and tend to be strongly driven by individual environmental variables. Upscaled maps of both groups were moderately correlated to sPlotOpen data aggregated to the grid-cell level (R = 0.2–0.6) when processing sPlotOpen in a way that is consistent with the respective trait upscaling approaches, including the plot-level trait metric (CWM or TWM) and the scaling to the grid cells with or without accounting for fractional land cover. The impact of using TWM or CWM was relevant, but co

Abstract: Globally, illegal sport hunting can threaten prey populations when unregulated. Due to its covert nature, illegal sport hunting poses challenges for data collection, hindering efforts to understand the full extent of its impacts. We gathered social media data to analyze patterns of illegal sport hunting and wildlife depletion across Brazil. We collected data for 2 years (2018-2020) across 5 Facebook groups containing posts depicting pictures of illegal sport hunting events of native fauna. We described and mapped these hunting events by detailing the number of hunters involved, the number of species, the mean body mass of individuals, and the number and biomass of individuals hunted per unit area, stratified by Brazilian biome. We also examined the effects of defaunation on hunting yield and composition via regression models, rank-abundance curves, and spatial interpolation. We detected 2046 illegal sport hunting posts portraying the hunting of 4658 animals (∼29 t of undressed meat) across all 27 states and 6 natural biomes of Brazil. Of 157 native species targeted by hunters, 19 are currently threatened with extinction. We estimated that 1414 hunters extracted 3251 kg/million km2. Some areas exhibited more pronounced wildlife depletion, in particular the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga biomes. In these areas, there was a shift from large mammals and reptiles to small birds as the main targeted taxa, and biomass extracted per hunting event and mean body mass across all taxonomic groups were lower than in other areas. Our results highlight that illegal sport hunting adds to the pressures of subsistence hunting and the wild meat trade on Brazil's wildlife populations. Enhanced surveillance efforts are needed to reduce illegal sport hunting levels and to develop well-managed sustainable sport hunting programs. These can support wildlife conservation and offer incentives for local communities to oversee designated sport hunting areas.

Abstract: Dispersal is more intense in the ocean than on land because most marine taxa present planktonic life stages that are transported by currents even without specific morphological traits. Thus, species dispersal shapes the distribution of biodiversity along seascapes and drives the composition of biodiversity assemblages. To identify marine assembling zones which characterise spatial areas particularly prone to receive and retain similar animal assemblages from the regional pool of species through passive dispersal, we propose a community‐based approach grounded on Lagrangian simulations of plankton dispersal. This novel approach was applied to communities (coast, outer shelf, slope, seamounts and islands; 0–80 m depth) of the Tropical Southwestern Atlantic and used to assess connectivity pathways. For that, we classified the modelled particles in 15 categories according to biological traits (planktonic life duration and spawning habitat) of representative planktonic communities. From the hierarchical clustering of the multivariate matrix containing the amount of arriving particles from each category in each cell we defined 14 assembling zones. Results highlighted that the assembling zones were mostly shaped by the degree of exposure to currents and the presence of mesoscale features (eddies, recirculation) derived from the interaction between these currents and coastlines. The boundaries, dispersal and connectivity patterns of these zones consistently align with local and regional in situ spatial distribution and abundance patterns of organisms, and provide an appropriate basis for the formulation of ecological hypotheses in the metacommunity framework to be tested in situ, such as the balance between species sorting and mass effect assembling archetypes. This approach, when coupled with the knowledge of other processes shaping communities' structure and distribution, provides important insights for regions and animal groups for which knowledge is limited or absent, a

Abstract: The Shared Economy (SE) has established itself as a sustainable alternative to the traditional economy model, called Linear Economy, but researchers are pointing out gaps between what has been studied about the SE and its relationship with production performance, with evidence that the adoption of SE practices can help improve food production performance. This study investigates how sharing practices can help improve the milk production performance of rural agrarian reform settlements. The methodological procedure adopted was a case study with producers from three settlements of Unaí, Arinos and Buritis, located in the state of Minas Gerais. The results showed that sharing practices help improve milk production performance at social, strategic and operational levels. Sharing machines, tools, equipment, inputs, animals, knowledge and skills helps to improve the quality of milk, generating greater reliability in the production chain, reducing production costs, mitigating environmental impacts, and increasing the quality of life of the producers' families., A Economia Compartilhada (EC) tem se consolidado como alternativa sustentável ao modelo de economia tradicional, denominado Economia Linear, mas os pesquisadores estão apontando lacunas entre o que tem sido estudado sobre a EC e sua relação com o desempenho da produção, havendo indícios de que a adoção de práticas de EC podem ajudar na melhoria do desempenho da produção de alimentos. Este estudo investiga como as práticas de compartilhamento podem ajudar a melhorar o desempenho da produção de leite de assentamentos rurais de reforma agrária. O procedimento metodológico adotado foi o estudo de caso com produtores de três assentamentos de Unaí, Arinos e Buritis, localizados no estado de Minas Gerais. Os resultados mostraram que práticas de compartilhamento ajudam a melhorar o desempenho da produção de leite nos níveis social, estratégico e operacional. O compartilhamento de máquinas, ferramentas, equipamentos, insumos, animais, conhecimentos e habilidades ajudam a melhorar a qualidade do leite, gerando maior confiabilidade na cadeia produtiva, reduzindo custos de produção, mitigando impactos ambientais, e aumentando a qualidade de vida da família dos produtores., La Economía Compartida (EC) se ha consolidado como una alternativa sustentable al modelo de economía tradicional, llamado Economía Lineal, pero investigadores señalan brechas entre lo estudiado sobre la EC y su relación con el desempeño productivo, con evidencia de que la adopción de las prácticas de CE puede ayudar a mejorar el rendimiento de la producción de alimentos.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: We aimed to expand the range of the frontotemporal dementia (FTD) phenotypes assessed by the Clinical Dementia Rating Dementia Staging Instrument plus National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Behavior and Language Domains (CDR plus NACC FTLD). METHODS: Neuropsychiatric and motor domains were added to the standard CDR plus NACC FTLD generating a new CDR plus NACC FTLD-NM scale. This was assessed in 522 mutation carriers and 310 mutation-negative controls from the Genetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI). RESULTS: The new scale led to higher global severity scores than the CDR plus NACC FTLD: 1.4% of participants were now considered prodromal rather than asymptomatic, while 1.3% were now considered symptomatic rather than asymptomatic or prodromal. No participants with a clinical diagnosis of an FTD spectrum disorder were classified as asymptomatic using the new scales. DISCUSSION: Adding new domains to the CDR plus NACC FTLD leads to a scale that encompasses the wider phenotypic spectrum of FTD with further work needed to validate its use more widely. Highlights: The new Clinical Dementia Rating Dementia Staging Instrument plus National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Behavior and Language Domains neuropsychiatric and motor (CDR plus NACC FTLD-NM) rating scale was significantly positively correlated with the original CDR plus NACC FTLD and negatively correlated with the FTD Rating Scale (FRS). No participants with a clinical diagnosis in the frontotemporal dementia spectrum were classified as asymptomatic with the new CDR plus NACC FTLD-NM rating scale. Individuals had higher global severity scores with the addition of the neuropsychiatric and motor domains. A receiver operating characteristic analysis of symptomatic diagnosis showed nominally higher areas under the curve for the new scales.

Abstract: Learning to defer (L2D) aims to improve human-AI collaboration systems by learning how to defer decisions to humans when they are more likely to be correct than an ML classifier. Existing research in L2D overlooks key aspects of real-world systems that impede its practical adoption, namely: i) neglecting cost-sensitive scenarios, where type 1 and type 2 errors have different costs; ii) requiring concurrent human predictions for every instance of the training dataset and iii) not dealing with human work capacity constraints. To address these issues, we propose the deferral under cost and capacity constraints framework (DeCCaF). DeCCaF is a novel L2D approach, employing supervised learning to model the probability of human error under less restrictive data requirements (only one expert prediction per instance) and using constraint programming to globally minimize the error cost subject to workload limitations. We test DeCCaF in a series of cost-sensitive fraud detection scenarios with different teams of 9 synthetic fraud analysts, with individual work capacity constraints. The results demonstrate that our approach performs significantly better than the baselines in a wide array of scenarios, achieving an average 8.4% reduction in the misclassification cost.

Abstract: OprI is an outer membrane lipoprotein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and when fused to a recombinant antigen, will exert adjuvant properties by engaging Toll-like receptor 2, leading to dendritic cell activation. Previous studies have shown that the Neospora caninum (Nc) antigens NcPDI, NcROP2 and NcROP40 are implicated in host cell interactions and are promising vaccine candidates. In two independent experiments, the efficacy of a polyvalent vaccine formulation composed of OprI-NcPDI, OprI-NcROP2 and OprI-NcROP40 (collectively named O-Ags) was assessed in non-pregnant and pregnant Balb/c mouse models challenged with tachyzoites of the high-virulence isolate Nc-Spain7. Parameters that were investigated were clinical signs, fertility, parasite burden in adult mice, humoral and cellular immune responses at different time-points prior to and after challenge infection, vertical transmission and post-natal survival of offspring mice, all to explore potential correlations with efficacy. Vaccination of mice with O-Ags induced a mixed Th1/Th2 immune response in adult mice and led to significantly increased protection against cerebral infection. Vaccination with O-Ags also resulted in reduced vertical transmission, and postnatal disease in offspring was significantly inhibited at a rate not observed in mice infected with a high-virulence isolate to date. However, O-Ags mixed with TLR ligands targeting TLR3 and TLR7, which are known to induce clear Th1-biased responses, or vaccination with OprI fused to the non-N. caninum antigen ovalbumin (OprI-OVA) did not confer protection., Swiss National Science Foundation (310030_165782), Depto. de Sanidad Animal, Fac. de Veterinaria, TRUE, pub

10. On inertial iterated Tikhonov methods for solving ill-posed problems

Author: Rabelo, Joel C., Leitão, Antonio, Madureira, Alexandre L., Rabelo, Joel C., Leitão, Antonio, and Madureira, Alexandre L.
Abstract: In this manuscript we propose and analyze an implicit two-point type method (or inertial method) for obtaining stable approximate solutions to linear ill-posed operator equations. The method is based on the iterated Tikhonov (iT) scheme. We establish convergence for exact data, and stability and semi-convergence for noisy data. Regarding numerical experiments we consider: i) a 2D Inverse Potential Problem, ii) an Image Deblurring Problem; the computational efficiency of the method is compared with standard implementations of the iT method., Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures.

Abstract: Soil is central to the complex interplay among biodiversity, climate, and society. This paper examines the interconnectedness of soil biodiversity, climate change, and societal impacts, emphasizing the urgent need for integrated solutions. Human-induced biodiversity loss and climate change intensify environmental degradation, threatening human well-being. Soils, rich in biodiversity and vital for ecosystem function regulation, are highly vulnerable to these pressures, affecting nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and resilience. Soil also crucially regulates climate, influencing energy, water cycles, and carbon storage. Yet, climate change poses significant challenges to soil health and carbon dynamics, amplifying global warming. Integrated approaches are essential, including sustainable land management, policy interventions, technological innovations, and societal engagement. Practices like agroforestry and organic farming improve soil health and mitigate climate impacts. Effective policies and governance are crucial for promoting sustainable practices and soil conservation. Recent technologies aid in monitoring soil biodiversity and implementing sustainable land management. Societal engagement, through education and collective action, is vital for environmental stewardship. By prioritizing interdisciplinary research and addressing key frontiers, scientists can advance understanding of the soil biodiversity–climate change–society nexus, informing strategies for environmental sustainability and social equity.

Abstract: Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear understanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5,6,7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8,9,10,11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world's most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepresented in biodiversity databases.13,14,15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may eliminate pieces of the Amazon's biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological communities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple organism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region's vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most neglected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lost.

Abstract: Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear understanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5,6,7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8,9,10,11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world's most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepresented in biodiversity databases.13,14,15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may eliminate pieces of the Amazon's biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological communities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple organism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region's vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most neglected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lost.

Abstract: Disease gene discovery on chromosome (chr) X is challenging owing to its unique modes of inheritance. We undertook a systematic analysis of human chrX genes. We observe a higher proportion of disorder-associated genes and an enrichment of genes involved in cognition, language, and seizures on chrX compared to autosomes. We analyze gene constraints, exon and promoter conservation, expression, and paralogues, and report 127 genes sharing one or more attributes with known chrX disorder genes. Using machine learning classifiers trained to distinguish disease-associated from dispensable genes, we classify 247 genes, including 115 of the 127, as having high probability of being disease-associated. We provide evidence of an excess of variants in predicted genes in existing databases. Finally, we report damaging variants in CDK16 and TRPC5 in patients with intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorders. This study predicts large-scale gene-disease associations that could be used for prioritization of X-linked pathogenic variants.

16. Extending PyJL - Transpiling Python Libraries to Julia

Author: Miguel Marcelino and António Menezes Leitão, Marcelino, Miguel, Leitão, António Menezes, Miguel Marcelino and António Menezes Leitão, Marcelino, Miguel, and Leitão, António Menezes
Abstract: Many high-level programming languages have emerged in recent years. Julia is one of these languages, claiming to offer the speed of C, the macro capabilities of Lisp, and the user-friendliness of Python. Julia’s syntax is one of its major strengths, making it ideal for scientific and numerical computing. Furthermore, Julia’s high-performance on modern hardware makes it an appealing alternative to Python. However, Python has a considerable advantage over Julia: its extensive library set. There have been efforts to make Python libraries available to Julia either through Foreign Function Interfaces (FFI’s), or through manual translation, but both have their tradeoffs: FFI’s do not take advantage of Julia’s performance, as they call Python’s Virtual Machine, and manual translation is demanding and time-consuming. To address these issues and bridge the gap between the two languages, we propose PyJL, a transpilation tool that converts Python source-code to human-readable Julia source-code. Although the development of PyJL is still at an early stage, our preliminary results reveal that the generated code follows the pragmatics of Julia and is capable of high performance.

17. Metaobject Protocols for Julia

Author: Marcelo Santos and António Menezes Leitão, Santos, Marcelo, Leitão, António Menezes, Marcelo Santos and António Menezes Leitão, Santos, Marcelo, and Leitão, António Menezes
Abstract: Metaobject Protocols enable programmers to extend programming languages without the need to understand the lower level details of their implementation. However, designing these protocols comes with two challenges: allow programmers to limit their concerns to higher level concepts and minimize performance penalties in programs. In this work, we propose metaobject protocol for the programming language Julia. Julia’s object system is very limited, when compared to languages following the Object-Oriented paradigm. However, Julia’s compilation approach allows for a considerable degree of code optimization through the exploration of runtime type information. Through the usage of Julia’s run-time optimizations, we propose a metaobject protocol that combines user-extensibility with limited performance penalties. This paper focuses on the development of a multiple inheritance method dispatch and method combination mechanisms with zero runtime overhead.

18. Wood predictors in neotropical streams: Assessing the effects of regional and local controls in Amazon and Cerrado catchments

Author: de Oliveira Saraiva, S, Kaufmann, PR, Rutherfurd, I, Gontijo Leal, C, Pereira Leitão, R, Rodrigues Macedo, D, Santos Pompeu, P, de Oliveira Saraiva, S, Kaufmann, PR, Rutherfurd, I, Gontijo Leal, C, Pereira Leitão, R, Rodrigues Macedo, D, and Santos Pompeu, P
Abstract: Large wood plays a critical role providing complex habitat structure in rivers and streams. The instream wood regime consists of wood recruitment, transport, retention, and decay in river corridors. In tropical streams, transport and decay are thought to be the dominant influences on the amount of instream wood stored, and these are driven by upstream forest cover, as well as catchment hydroclimatic and geomorphic characteristics. Lack of studies of the tropical wood regime leave many uncertainties. Notably, the wood regimes in the neotropical Amazon and Cerrado biomes are not known, and rapidly changing land use threatens efforts to understand their natural wood regime. We investigated predictors of instream wood in catchments of the Amazon and Cerrado subject to a wide range of agricultural land use to identify the critical factors controlling wood recruitment and load. Using the structural equation modelling technique, we disentangled the complex net of regional and local controls. Contrary to our expectations, local drivers—such as the relation between the piece size and channel dimensions, discharge, stream power, and riparian forest—were the most important predictors of instream wood. The amounts of wood found in these streams were primarily the result of the wood delivered by the local riparian forest and how much of that wood remains trapped. Therefore, the preservation of the forested riparian zones in Amazon and Cerrado streams is crucial for maintaining the sources of wood as well as the channel morphology capable of trapping and retaining instream wood. Further research should compare reference and disturbed streams to quantify the influence of anthropogenic activities on instream wood and its primary influences. This information would facilitate assessing the extent of human alteration and developing mitigating measures to arrest or reverse changes that reduce instream wood and degrade aquatic and riparian habitat in neotropical rivers and streams.

19. Os efeitos da adoção do crédito financeiro na tributação indireta sobre a economia brasileira

Author: Paes, Nelson Leitão and Paes, Nelson Leitão
Abstract: The article analyzes the physical credit in the Brazilian economy. In this system, tax credits are generated from acquisitions for use only in production. Physical credit increases cumulativeness, which affects the competitiveness of Brazilian products. The financial credit guarantees that all the acquisitions generate credits of the tax. The proposal is to evaluate the effects of the change from physical to financial credit. For this, a general equilibrium model was constructed. The results indicate that the change is positive for the aggregate economy and for industry, agriculture and commerce, while the effect is negative for services. This change was included in the tax reform proposal under analysis in the National Congress., O artigo analisa o crédito físico na economia brasileira. Neste sistema, apenas geram créditos as aquisições para uso na produção. O crédito físico aumenta a cumulatividade, o que afeta a competitividade dos produtos brasileiros. Já o crédito financeiro garante que todas as aquisições gerem créditos do imposto. A proposta é avaliar de forma quantitativa os efeitos da mudança do crédito físico para o financeiro. Para tanto, foi construído um modelo de equilíbrio geral. Os resultados apontam que a mudança é positiva para a economia agregada e para indústria, agropecuária e comércio, enquanto o efeito é negativo para serviços. A alteração está contemplada na proposta de reforma tributária em análise no Congresso Nacional.

Abstract: The impact of the Amazon River freshwater plume on planktonic cnidarians over neritic and oceanic provinces is unknown. To provide further knowledge we took advantage of an oceanographic cruise performed in October 2012 in the Western Atlantic off the North Brazilian coast (8°N, 51°W—3.5°S, 37°W). A complex and dynamic system was observed, with strong currents and eddies dispersing the plume over a large area. Our results show that the Amazon River shapes marine habitats with a thin highly productive surface layer compressed by a deeper oxygen minimum zone both over the shelf and in the open ocean. We hypothesized that such habitat structure is particularly advantageous to planktonic cnidarians, which have low metabolic rates, being able to survive in hypoxic zones, resulting in high species richness and abundance. Over the shelf, distinctions were sharp and the area under the influence of the plume presented a diverse assemblage occurring in large abundance, while outside the plume, the hydromedusa Liriope tetraphylla was dominant and occurred almost alone. Divergences in the oceanic province were less pronounced, but still expressive being mostly related to the abundance of dominant species. We concluded that Amazon River plume is a paramount physical feature that profoundly affects the dynamics of the mesoscale habitat structure in the Western Equatorial Atlantic Ocean and that such habitat structure is responsible for shaping planktonic cnidarian assemblages both in neritic and oceanic provinces.

Abstract: CrossFit® es un programa de entrenamiento caracterizado por estímulos de alta intensidad basado en ejercicios funcionales que varían constantemente y que inducen a importantes demandas fisiológicas, hemodinámicas y bioquímicas. La variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca (VFC) es usado como un indicador un indicador de estrés fisiológico y fatiga. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las respuestas agudas de la VFC y la presión arterial durante y después de tres sesiones diferentes de Crossfit®. Nueve sujetos con más de un año de experiencia realizaron tres sesiones diferentes de CrossFit® en las que se analizó la respuesta de la presión arterial sistólica (PAS), presión arterial diastólica (PAD) y VFC. Se observaron reducciones significativas en la VFC a través de los índices parasimpáticos (Alta Frecuencia (HF), p<0.001) y un aumento en la actividad de los índices simpáticos (Baja Frecuencia (LF), p< 0.01; LF/HF, p<0.001) tras la realización de las tres sesiones. La PAS disminuyó (p<0.05) y no hubo diferencias significativas entre los entrenamientos del día tanto en la VFC como en la PAS. Las tres sesiones de CrossFit® analizadas indujeron una actividad similar, reduciendo la actividad del sistema nervioso autónomo medida mediante HRV, así como una hipotensión post-ejercicio., CrossFit® is a training program characterized by high intensity stimulus with constantly varied and multifunctional movements that induces a significant range of physiological, hemodynamic and biochemical responses. Heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to measure how individuals react to physiological stress and fatigue. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify HRV and blood pressure acute responses during and after three sessions of Crossfit®. Nine subjects with more than one year of experience performed three different sessions of CrossFit® to verify the response of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and HRV. Significant reductions in HRV were observed through parasympathetic indexes (High Frequency(HF), p<0.001) and an increase in the activity of sympathetic indexes (Low Frequency (LF), p < 0.01; LF/HF, p<0.001) after all Crossfit® workouts. SBP decreased (p<0.05) and there were no significant differences between workouts of the day in both HRV and SBP. Different CrossFit® sessions induced similar activity of the autonomic nervous system with reduced HRV and post-exercise hypotension.

Abstract: The Nordic Green Ammonia Powered Ships (NoGAPS) project has brought together key players from the Nordic shipping and energy value chains to develop a first-of-a-kind ammonia-powered gas carrier, the M/S NoGAPS. This report provides a summary of the main outputs and findings from the second phase of the NoGAPS project. It begins with an overview of the vessel design for M/S NoGAPS, outlining the general arrangement of the vessel and key design decisions behind it. This is followed by a deep dive into the commercialisation or early ammonia-powered vessels, using NoGAPS as a case study. The topic is explored from two angles: ship financing and wider economic viability.

Abstract: Studies in the field of sports excellence developed in a multidimensional perspective are still scarce and the investigations carried out have mostly focused on the isolated analysis of specific factors. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the factors that Brazilian physical education teachers consider most determinant in the development and maintenance of excellence. For this purpose, 14 physical education teachers from the public basic education network in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, were surveyed through semi-structured interviews. The data obtained was analysed through content analysis. The results showed that athletes value personal factors, designated as primary influencing factors, emphasising psychological attributes, namely those related to discipline, dedication and determination. They also identified factors that exert a secondary influence, particularly on the school, physical education teachers and coaches. The results also make it possible to admit the need for interaction and interconnection between the determining factors of primary and secondary influence as something decisive for developing excellence in sport., Los estudios en el ámbito de la excelencia deportiva desarrollados en una perspectiva multidimensional son aún escasos y las investigaciones realizadas se han centrado mayoritariamente en el análisis aislado de factores concretos. Así, el objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los factores que los profesores de educación física brasileños consideran más determinantes en el desarrollo y mantenimiento de la excelencia. Para ello, 14 profesores de educación física de escuelas primarias públicas del estado de Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, fueron entrevistados a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas, siendo analizados los datos obtenidos a través del análisis de contenido. Los resultados mostraron que los atletas valoran un conjunto de factores personales, designados como principales factores de influencia, con énfasis en los atributos psicológicos, a saber, aquellos relacionados con la disciplina, la dedicación y la determinación. También identificaron factores que ejercen una influencia secundaria, con especial énfasis en la escuela, los profesores de educación física y los entrenadores. Los resultados obtenidos también permiten admitir la necesidad de interacción e interconexión entre los determinantes de influencia primaria y secundaria como algo determinante para el desarrollo de la excelencia en el deporte.

33. Wood predictors in neotropical streams : Assessing the effects of regional and local controls in Amazon and Cerrado catchments

Abstract: Large wood plays a critical role providing complex habitat structure in rivers and streams. The instream wood regime consists of wood recruitment, transport, retention, and decay in river corridors. In tropical streams, transport and decay are thought to be the dominant influences on the amount of instream wood stored, and these are driven by upstream forest cover, as well as catchment hydroclimatic and geomorphic characteristics. Lack of studies of the tropical wood regime leave many uncertainties. Notably, the wood regimes in the neotropical Amazon and Cerrado biomes are not known, and rapidly changing land use threatens efforts to understand their natural wood regime. We investigated predictors of instream wood in catchments of the Amazon and Cerrado subject to a wide range of agricultural land use to identify the critical factors controlling wood recruitment and load. Using the structural equation modelling technique, we disentangled the complex net of regional and local controls. Contrary to our expectations, local drivers—such as the relation between the piece size and channel dimensions, discharge, stream power, and riparian forest—were the most important predictors of instream wood. The amounts of wood found in these streams were primarily the result of the wood delivered by the local riparian forest and how much of that wood remains trapped. Therefore, the preservation of the forested riparian zones in Amazon and Cerrado streams is crucial for maintaining the sources of wood as well as the channel morphology capable of trapping and retaining instream wood. Further research should compare reference and disturbed streams to quantify the influence of anthropogenic activities on instream wood and its primary influences. This information would facilitate assessing the extent of human alteration and developing mitigating measures to arrest or reverse changes that reduce instream wood and degrade aquatic and riparian habitat in neotropical rivers and streams.

Abstract: The impact of the Amazon River freshwater plume on planktonic cnidarians over neritic and oceanic provinces is unknown. To provide further knowledge we took advantage of an oceanographic cruise performed in October 2012 in the Western Atlantic off the North Brazilian coast (8°N, 51°W—3.5°S, 37°W). A complex and dynamic system was observed, with strong currents and eddies dispersing the plume over a large area. Our results show that the Amazon River shapes marine habitats with a thin highly productive surface layer compressed by a deeper oxygen minimum zone both over the shelf and in the open ocean. We hypothesized that such habitat structure is particularly advantageous to planktonic cnidarians, which have low metabolic rates, being able to survive in hypoxic zones, resulting in high species richness and abundance. Over the shelf, distinctions were sharp and the area under the influence of the plume presented a diverse assemblage occurring in large abundance, while outside the plume, the hydromedusa Liriope tetraphylla was dominant and occurred almost alone. Divergences in the oceanic province were less pronounced, but still expressive being mostly related to the abundance of dominant species. We concluded that Amazon River plume is a paramount physical feature that profoundly affects the dynamics of the mesoscale habitat structure in the Western Equatorial Atlantic Ocean and that such habitat structure is responsible for shaping planktonic cnidarian assemblages both in neritic and oceanic provinces.

37. Uma leitura da retórica jurídica a partir de Friedrich Nietzsche: contributos às retóricas material, analítica e estratégica

Abstract: This paper aims to present the basic structures of legal rhetoric developed in the second half of the 20th century from a new reading of one of the main authors who enabled a revaluation of rhetoric: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). Also, the return facing the sources to demonstrate that even the old paths of legal rhetoric, when retraced, can contribute to the advancement of contemporary law. The methodology consists in applying the three senses of rhetoric defined below to clarify the particularities of legal rhetoric with the reflections of Nietzschean philosophy. This is not a theoretical reconstruction of legal rhetoric, but an opening to new perspectives on the same problems of material, analytical and strategic rhetoric under other lights and shades., Este trabalho pretende apresentar as estruturas básicas da retórica jurídica desenvolvida na segunda metade do séc. XX a partir de uma releitura de um dos principais autores que possibilitaram uma revalorização da retórica: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). Em certa medida, o retorno a uma das fontes para demonstrar que mesmo os antigos caminhos da retórica jurídica, quando novamente percorridos, podem contribuir para o avanço do direito contemporâneo. A metodologia consiste em aplicar os três sentidos de retórica definidos abaixo para esclarecer as particularidades da retórica jurídica em relação às reflexões da filosofia nietzschiana. Não se trata de uma reconstrução teórica da retórica jurídica, mas de uma abertura para novas perspectivas sobre os mesmos problemas das retóricas material, analítica e estratégica sob outras luzes e novos contrastes.

38. Growing up with dyslexia: Child and parent perspectives on school struggles, self-esteem, and mental health

Author: Wilmot, Adrienne, Pizzey, Hannah, Leitão, Suze, Hasking, Penelope, Boyes, Mark, Wilmot, Adrienne, Pizzey, Hannah, Leitão, Suze, Hasking, Penelope, and Boyes, Mark
Abstract: Children with dyslexia, compared with typically reading peers, are at increased risk of internalising (e.g., anxiety) and externalising (e.g., aggression) mental health concerns; why this is the case is largely unknown. Our aim was to explore the socio-emotional experience of growing up with dyslexia from both child and parent perspectives. In so doing, we aimed to gain a better understanding of self-esteem and mental health in the context of dyslexia. One-to-one semi-structured interviews with 17 children with reading difficulties (aged 9–14 years; 16 with a diagnosis of dyslexia) and their mothers (interviewed separately) were analysed using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis approach with a neurodiversity lens. We developed three themes to address the research aim: (1) Different in a good/bad way; (2) Exhausted and overwhelmed; and (3) It takes a community: Family school connections. Children discussed having “worries” and experiencing school-related stress and embarrassment. Mothers perceived children's internalising and externalising behaviour (meltdowns), school refusal, and homework resistance as emotional responses to children's school struggles due to poor “person-environment fit.” Our analysis highlights the particular importance of parent support, friendship, and school-connectedness for the wellbeing of children with dyslexia.

Abstract: Introduction: Parents of children with dyslexia may be at elevated risk for parenting stress and mental health concerns. Our aim was to explore the emotional experience of growing up with dyslexia in Australia from parents' perspectives. In so doing, we also developed an understanding of parents' own mental health and support needs informed by their lived experience. Methodology: Seventeen interviews with mothers of children (9–14 years; 16 with a diagnosis of dyslexia) were analysed using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis approach. Analysis: Five themes were developed to address our aim: Theme 1: Years in the wilderness: Life before diagnosis; 2: “I struggle at times to see her struggle”; 3. School struggles: Advocating for our children and managing distress; 4. “It's a full-time job” and a “long slog”; 5: Care for the carer: Social support and coping strategies. Conclusions: Our analysis suggests that mothers of children with dyslexia may be at elevated risk for mental health concerns. Specifically, chronic worry and stress, secondary distress, challenges to parenting self-efficacy, and lack of support and understanding (feeling isolated) were highlighted as plausible risk factors. Mothers described coping strategies at the community level (e.g., school connectedness) and at the individual level (e.g., “acceptance”) as protective.

40. Understanding Mental Health in Developmental Dyslexia: A Scoping Review

Author: Wilmot, Adrienne, Hasking, Penelope, Leitão, Suze, Hill, Elizabeth, Boyes, Mark, Wilmot, Adrienne, Hasking, Penelope, Leitão, Suze, Hill, Elizabeth, and Boyes, Mark
Abstract: Children with dyslexia are at elevated risk of internalising and externalising mental health concerns. Our aim was to scope the extent and nature of the literature investigating factors which may influence this association. We systematically searched the peer-reviewed and grey literature with no restrictions on the date. We included both qualitative and quantitative studies. Inclusion criteria included: (1) a focus on childhood (≤18 years) reading/learning difficulties; (2) internalising and/or externalising symptoms; and (3) a potentially modifiable third factor (e.g., self-esteem). Ninety-eight studies met the inclusion criteria. We organised the studies according to individual, family, and community-level third factors. Whilst a range of third factors were identified, relatively few researchers tested associations between the third factor and mental health in the context of dyslexia. Furthermore, there was a focus on primary rather than secondary school experience and a reliance, in many cases, on teacher/parent perspectives on children’s mental health. Future researchers are encouraged to explore links between socio-emotional skills, coping strategies, school connectedness, and mental health in the context of dyslexia. Research of this nature is important to assist with the identification of children who are more (or less) at risk of mental health concerns and to inform tailored mental health programs for children with dyslexia.

P., Clemens-Meyer, Francois, Moreno Rodenas, Antonio, Tait, Simon, and Anta, Jose
Abstract: [Abstract:] Transitioning urban drainage systems to serve water-smart societies requires the involvement of different disciplines and stakeholders. However, stakeholders have different visions and needs from the transitioning process (e.g in terms of financing, policy adaptation and system management) these also vary between regions and countries. Identifying such different needs for stakeholders is necessary to propose practical adaptation strategies. Therefore, evidence of needs as reflected in policy papers and legislation in seven European countries was collected. Knowledgeable individuals in the urban drainage community were asked about their visions. Results show that whilst there is consensus on the challenges, visions on how to transition are diverse, indicating that more interaction between the different stakeholder groups is required to develop consensus. Additionally, organisational and legislative structures often slow down the necessary change processes.

Abstract: Wild flowers and plants play an important role in protecting biodiversity and providing various ecosystem services. However, some of them are endangered or threatened and are entitled to preservation and protection. This study represents a first step to develop a computer vision system and a supporting mobile app for detecting and monitoring the development stages of wild flowers and plants, aiming to contribute to their preservation. It first introduces the related concepts. Then, surveys related work and categorizes existing solutions presenting their key features, strengths, and limitations. The most promising solutions and techniques are identified. Insights on open issues and research directions in the topic are also provided. This paper paves the way to a wider adoption of recent results in computer vision techniques in this field and for the proposal of a mobile application that uses YOLO convolutional neural networks to detect the stages of development of wild flowers and plants.

Abstract: Children with dyslexia are at elevated risk of internalising (e.g., anxiety) and externalising (e.g., conduct problems) mental health concerns; the reasons why are largely unknown. I took a neurodiversity lens to explore this question, employed both qualitative and quantitative design, and prioritised the voices of both children and parents. Families reported feeling isolated due to dyslexia being widely misunderstood and stigmatised. Furthermore, dyslexia was associated with anxiety, depression, and conduct problems via poor school-connectedness.

Abstract: The impacts of climate change are becoming more widespread across the world, with hydro-meteorological extreme events on the rise, causing severe threats to nature and communities. Increasing trends in the frequency and intensity of floods and landslides have been projected by climate models. This necessitates the development of more effective measures such as nature-based solutions (NBS) which can complement grey infrastructures. Recent studies have identified knowledge gaps and limitations in existing research and tools that aid in spatial planning for the implementation of large-scale NBS and proposed new methodologies for the spatial allocation of large-scale NBS for flood risk reduction. This work presents a novel method for mapping the suitability of NBS addressing geo-hydrological hazards such as shallow landslides, debris flow, and rockfall, which are typically caused due to slope instability. This methodology incorporates landslide susceptibility mapping, and was used to create a toolbox ESRI ArcGIS environment to aid decision-makers in the planning and implementation of large-scale NBS. The spatial allocation toolbox was applied to the case study Portofino promontory, Liguria region, Italy, and 70% of the area was found to be highly susceptible to landslides. The produced suitability maps show that 41%, 33%, and 65% of the study area is suitable for the restoration of terraces, bio-engineering, and vegetative measures such as NBS for landslide risk reduction.

The spatial allocation toolbox was applied to the case study Portofino promontory, Liguria region, Italy, and 70% of the area was found to be highly susceptible to landslides. The produced suitability maps show that 41%, 33%, and 65% of the study area is suitable for the restoration of terraces, bio-engineering, and vegetative measures such as NBS for landslide risk reduction., BT/Environmental Biotechnology

Abstract: This article assesses the constitutionalising of the right to health and its regulation by Law n. 8.080/90, highlighting the need to analyse the law and the costs it implies in light of the scarcity of resources. It highlights the role of the National Commission for the Incorporation of Technologies in the Unified Health System in the activity of analysing the incorporation of medicines in the list of drugs financed by the public health policy. The research is based upon a methodology of critic analysis of the decisions of the above mentioned commission as well of those issued by courts regarding the same subject. It addresses the need, for the evolution and qualification of health services by federative entities, of compliance with the competences established by law and the legal criteria for the analysis of requests for the inclusion of new health technologies, pointing them out as necessary to the composition of the motivation of the decision-making act regarding inclusion or non-inclusion of drugs. The article draws attention to the need for didactic evolution and better publicizing the understanding of the analysis carried out by the Ministry of Health, in order to allow for better qualification of the judiciary in view of the demands that are presented to it on the subject of the supply of non-agreed medicines within the scope of public policy, including with regard to the need to consider the institutional capacities of the entities legitimated for health services., O presente artigo analisa a constitucionalização do direito à saúde e sua regulamentação pela Lei n. 8.080/90, destacando a necessidade de considerar o direito e seu custo diante da escassez de recursos. Ressalta a atuação da Comissão Nacional de Incorporação de Tecnologias no Sistema Único de Saúde na atividade de análise de incorporação de medicamentos na lista de fármacos custeados pela política pública de saúde. Adota uma metodologia crítica a partir da análise da atuação de referida comissão e de decisões judiciais. Aborda a necessidade, para evolução e qualificação dos serviços de saúde pelos entes federativos, de observância das competências estabelecidas em lei e dos critérios legais de análise dos pedidos de inclusão de novas tecnologias em saúde, apontando-os como necessários à composição da motivação do ato decisório de inclusão ou não inclusão de fármacos. O artigo chama atenção para a necessidade de evolução didática e melhor publicização sobre a compreensão da análise realizada pelo Ministério da Saúde, de forma a permitir a melhor qualificação do poder judiciário diante das demandas que lhe são apresentadas sobre o tema do fornecimento de medicamentos não pactuados no âmbito da política pública, inclusive no que se refere à necessidade de considerações sobre as capacidades institucionais dos entes legitimados para efetuar as prestações de saúde.

49. A novel method for anomaly detection using beta Hebbian learning and principal component analysis

Author: Zayas-Gato, Francisco, Michelena, Álvaro, Quintián, Héctor, Jove, Esteban, Casteleiro-Roca, José-Luis, Leitão, Paulo, Calvo-Rolle, José Luis, Zayas-Gato, Francisco, Michelena, Álvaro, Quintián, Héctor, Jove, Esteban, Casteleiro-Roca, José-Luis, Leitão, Paulo, and Calvo-Rolle, José Luis
Abstract: [Abstract] In this research work a novel two-step system for anomaly detection is presented and tested over several real datasets. In the first step the novel Exploratory Projection Pursuit, Beta Hebbian Learning algorithm, is applied over each dataset, either to reduce the dimensionality of the original dataset or to face nonlinear datasets by generating a new subspace of the original dataset with lower, or even higher, dimensionality selecting the right activation function. Finally, in the second step Principal Component Analysis anomaly detection is applied to the new subspace to detect the anomalies and improve its classification capabilities. This new approach has been tested over several different real datasets, in terms of number of variables, number of samples and number of anomalies. In almost all cases, the novel approach obtained better results in terms of area under the curve with similar standard deviation values. In case of computational cost, this improvement is only remarkable when complexity of the dataset in terms of number of variables is high.

50. Technical-Economic Assessment-The Missing Piece for Increasing the Attractiveness of Applied Biocatalysis in Ester Syntheses?

Author: Sousa, Ronaldo Rodrigues de, Castro, Rui de Paula Vieira de, Assis, Nadinne Medeiros, Silva, Ayla Sant’Ana da, Freire, Denise Maria Guimarães, Fernández-Lafuente, Roberto, Ferreira-Leitão, Viridiana Santana, Sousa, Ronaldo Rodrigues de, Castro, Rui de Paula Vieira de, Assis, Nadinne Medeiros, Silva, Ayla Sant’Ana da, Freire, Denise Maria Guimarães, Fernández-Lafuente, Roberto, and Ferreira-Leitão, Viridiana Santana
Abstract: Although the current literature describes significant advances in biocatalytic ester syntheses, few industrial plants worldwide are currently producing esters using biocatalysts. Green and sustainable esters can be obtained via a biocatalytic route, including some operational advantages over conventional syntheses. An analysis of the literature revealed that most articles neglect or describe the economic issues generically, without quantitative information. Scaling-up studies are also scarce in this field. The main disadvantage of biocatalysis using immobilized lipases—their cost—has not been studied at the same level of depth as other technical aspects. This gap in the literature is less intense in enzymatic biodiesel production studies and, despite the lack of a strict correlation, enzymatic biodiesel commercial plants are relatively more common. Preliminary techno-economic assessments are crucial to identify and circumvent the economic drawbacks of biocatalytic ester syntheses, opening the way to broader application of this technology in a large-scale context.
