    An ontology of consumers as distributed networks: a question of cause and effect
    ( 2024-01-01)

    In responding to Craig Thompson’s commentary, we argue that assemblage, contrary to how it has often been theorised in consumer research, is subject oriented. Drawing on Deleuze, we explore how desire is thus not abstract but is part of a context of life that is organised by the subject. In neutralising the subject’s attachments, consumer researchers are prevented from seeing how desires left unfulfilled can represent deeper social marginalisations and how the market incentivises unsustainable and uncaring behaviours. We argue that Craig’s commentary raises the need to recognise that an affective architecture of feelings is always at work. We call for a more ‘care-full’ approach which does not ignore the desiring body, deny the power differentials that exist and apoliticises our attachments within these networks of relations.

    Accurately assessing how biodiversity responds in the Anthropocene is vital. To do so, a number of indicator taxa are commonly used to monitor human-impacted forests and the subsequent recovery of their biodiversity. This makes monitoring more economically feasible, yet only valuable if the responses observed truly reflect the status of biodiversity. Many challenges exist for getting this monitoring right, including choosing the most effective indicators and ultimately choosing the most appropriate methods to capture trends. We have reason to believe that the methods currently used to assess human-impacted tropical forest might be misrepresenting trends related to the degree of impact of disturbance to biodiversity and to the value of secondary forests for biodiversity conservation. Using recent case studies that assessed butterflies, we challenge the paradigm that fruit-baited butterfly traps are the best method for assessing human-impacted tropical forests, and that their use solely along the forest floor is underestimating the impacts to biodiversity in tropical forests. We suggest that alternative or additional methods could provide a more representative picture of the overall butterfly biodiversity responses to human-impacted tropical forests and that similar assessments of other groups and methods should be carried out.

    Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in European men, emphasizing the urgent need for effective risk assessment strategies. The TP53 gene, a tumor suppressor gene frequently mutated in cancer, commonly harbors the rs1042522 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), known as the P72R SNP, which may influence PCa susceptibility. This study investigated the prevalence of the P72R SNP in European Caucasian PCa samples and its association with PCa risk. Methods: Genotyping was conducted on 12 hormone-naïve aggressive PCa cultures (hnPCs) from untreated patients (Gleason ≥8), 11 radical prostatectomies (RP), and 94 serum samples using DNA Sanger sequencing and melting curve analysis. Comparative analysis utilized data from the GnomAD database’s European Caucasian non-cancer population. Results: Our results demonstrate a significantly higher frequency of the P72R SNP in PCa samples and serums compared to the general European non-cancer population. A robust and statistically significant association (p < 0.0001) between the SNP and prostate cancer risk was identified, with an odds ratio of 7.937 (95% CI 5.37-11.00). Notably, the G allele (R72) showed a pronounced prevalence in high Gleason score (≥8) patients, although statistical significance was not reached. These results highlight a potential association with undifferentiated and malignant PCa lesions. Conclusion: The compelling association between the P72R SNP and prostate cancer risk underscores the potential utility of this marker for the early identification of patients at risk of aggressive metastatic prostate cancer. This insight could empower further research to intervene at an early stage by offering enhanced opportunities for timely and targeted interventions.

    Sacha inchi seed oil is a food matrix rich in bioactive constituents, mainly polyunsaturated fatty acids. In this study, the characteristics of color, carotenoid content, tocopherols, and volatile aroma compounds in eight sacha inchi seed (Plukenetia volubilis L.) oil accessions were evaluated. Results showed that the oil obtained from the accessions presented a lightness and chroma of 91 to 98 units and 6 to 10 units respectively, while the hue angle ranged between 93 to 97 units. The total carotenoid content in the different accessions ranged from 0.6 to 1.5 mg/kg, while γ-and δ-tocopherol ranged from 861.6 to 1142 mg/kg and 587 to 717.1 mg/kg. In addition, the total content of tocopherols varied between 1450 and 1856 mg/kg and the δ/γ ratio ranged between 0.58 and 0.70. The oils from the accessions PER000408 (861 µg/kg) and PER000411 (896 µg/kg) were those with the higher volatile concentration, especially 1-hepten-3-ol, 2-nonanol, (E)-3-hexen-1-ol, (E)-2-hexenal, and 1-hexanol. In this study, the variability of the oil obtained from 8 accessions were observed, from which promising accessions can be selected for continuous investigations of the new sacha inchi seed genotypes.

    Annually, coffee results in the emission of at least 90 million tons of CO2-equivalents. Here we provide a brief overview of the coffee export preparation process, with a focus on key sources of carbon emissions linked to production and transportation. We then present a road map that has the potential to significantly reduce the climate impact of coffee. We focus on the decarbonization of logistics and the production of biochar and other organic fertilizers from waste biomass. Together, these strategies could neutralize almost 3 million tons of CO2-equivalents annually. Finally, this analysis highlights current knowledge gaps and areas where further mitigation of greenhouse gases might be possible.

    Comment on “Noble gas decorated planar tetracoordinate oxygen” by K. Sarmah, F. Yashmin, A. Das, L.-X. Bai, J.-C. Guo and A. K. Guha, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2025, 27, 10923

    In a recent study, Sarmah et al. (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2025, 27, 10923, https://doi.org/10.1039/D5CP01278C) reported a planar tetracoordinate oxygen structure as the global minima of the ONg42+ (Ng = He, Ne) species. However, their analysis was restricted to the singlet state. Here, we reexamined the potential energy surfaces of these systems considering both singlet and triplet states. Our results reveal that the true global minima correspond to triplet states with C2v symmetry, which lie significantly lower in energy than the previously reported D4h singlet structures. Furthermore, Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations at 298 and 350 K show that both OHe42+ and ONe42+ dissociate spontaneously, suggesting that these species are metastable at ambient temperature and may only persist under cryogenic conditions. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for multiple spin states when searching for global minima in systems with unconventional bonding motifs.

    Understanding slope stability is crucial for effective risk management and prevention of slides. Some deterministic approaches based on limit-equilibrium and numerical methods have been proposed for the assessment of the safety factor (SF) for a given soil slope. However, for risk analyses of slides of earth dams, a range of SFs is required due to uncertainties associated with soil strength properties as well as slope geometry. Recently, several studies have demonstrated the efficiency of artificial neural network (ANN) models in predicting the SF of natural and artificial slopes. Nevertheless, such techniques operate as black-box models, prioritizing predictive accuracy without suitable interpretability. Alternatively, multivariate polynomial regression (MVR) models offer a pragmatic interpretability strategy by combining the analysis of variance with a response surface methodology. This approach overcomes the difficulties associated with the interpretability of the black-box models, but results in limited accuracy when the relationship between independent and dependent variables is highly nonlinear. In this study, two models for a quick assessment of slope SF in earth dams are proposed considering the MVR and the ANN models. Initially, a synthetic dataset was generated considering different soil properties and slope geometries. Then, both models were evaluated and compared using unseen data. The results are also discussed from a geotechnical point of view, showing the impact of each input parameter on the assessment of the SF. Finally, the accuracy of both models was measured and compared using a real-case database. The obtained accuracy was 78% for the ANN model and 72% for the MVR one, demonstrating a great performance for both proposed models. The efficacy of the ANN model was also observed through its capacity to reduce false negatives (a stable prediction when it is not), resulting in a model more favorable to safety assessment.
