Dilemmas of belonging: Young Muslim women in the Danish youth alcohol culture

Aim: Focusing on drinking and partying among young Muslim women in Denmark, our aim was to examine how the drinking practices of young Muslim women are influenced by belonging, understood as sentiments of (national) belonging as well as the broader (politicised) discourse on Muslims in Denmark. Methods and data: Based on 32 qualitative in-depth interviews with young Muslim women, this paper explores their drinking practices as situated in a national youth culture highly influenced by alcohol intoxication. We draw on Nira Yuval-Davies’ (2006) distinction between belonging (as emotional attachment) and the politics of belonging. Findings: We found that the young women attempt to avoid negative comments based on stereotypes of Muslims and their drinking, by toning down being a Muslim. In addition, we showed how the difficulties of drinking alcohol while being both Muslim and Danish leads to several of the young women experiencing an ‘identity crisis’. Lastly, we found that a way for the studied women to reconcile Muslim and Danish identities is through faith, namely through actively choosing what kind of Muslim they want to be. Conclusion: Being part of a national youth culture of alcohol intoxication is inevitably dilemma-filled for the study's participants and they are challenged in their belonging. We argue that these dilemmas do not stand alone, but rather point to the broader predicaments of these women in Danish society.

Brain Lesions Associated with Communication-Related Quality of Life Following Surgical Removal of Primary Left-Hemisphere Tumours

ABSTRACT Background Long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important consideration in planning treatment for individuals with brain tumours. Aim The current study examined relationships between HRQoL and anatomical location of the lesion in patients 6-24 months post-surgery. Methods Following left-hemisphere tumour resection, 37 individuals underwent behavioural testing and MRI. A principal component analysis across 10 HRQoL measures identified two components explaining ~62% of the variance: a communication-related and a mood-related component. Three lesion maps were generated per participant capturing (1) the primary resection, (2) the resection plus residual tumour, oedema, and peri-resection treatment effect (resection+), and (3) residual tumour, oedema, and peri-resection treatment effect alone (residual). Relationships between HRQoL components and lesion maps were examined using voxel-wise lesion symptom-mapping as well as general linear models predicting tract- and voxel-wise disconnection severities. Results Communication-related quality of life was significantly associated with lesions comprising both the resection+ and residual tumour in the left medial inferior parietal lobe. Voxel-wise analyses of white matter disconnection severities revealed significant associations between communication-related quality of life and thalamostriatal fibres for the residual tumour lesions. None of the analyses involving mood-related quality of life or the primary resection lesion maps were significant. Conclusions The findings highlight the role of the residual tumour, oedema, and peri-resection treatment effects and associated white matter disconnection in communication-related quality of life following treatment.

Synthesis Optimization of BaGdF5:x%Tb3+ Nanophosphors for Tunable Particle Size

X-ray photodynamic therapy (XPDT) is aimed at the treatment of deep-located malignant tumors thanks to the high penetration depth of X-rays. In XPDT therapy, it is necessary to use materials that effectively absorb X-rays and convert them into visible radiation-nanophosphors. Rare-earth elements, fluorides, in particular, doped BaGdF5, are known to serve as efficient nanophosphor. On the other hand, the particle size of nanophosphors has a crucial impact on biodistribution, cell uptake, and cytotoxicity. In this work, we investigated various Tb:Gd ratios in the range from 0.1 to 0.5 and optimized the terbium content to achieve the maximum luminescence under X-ray excitation. The effect of temperature, composition of the ethylene glycol/water solvent, and the synthesis technique (solvothermal and microwave) on the size of the nanophosphors was explored. It was found that the synthesis techniques and the solvent composition had the greatest influence on the averaged particle size. By varying these two parameters, it is possible to tune the size of the nanophosphor particles, which make them suitable for biomedical applications.
A SMALL-SCALE ERUPTION LEADING TO A BLOWOUT MACROSPICULE JET IN AN ON-DISK CORONAL HOLE

We examine the three-dimensional magnetic structure and dynamics of a solar EUV-macrospicule jet that occurred on 2011 February 27 in an on-disk coronal hole. The observations are from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and the SDO Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI). The observations reveal that in this event, closed-field-carrying cool absorbing plasma, as in an erupting mini-filament, erupted and opened, forming a blowout jet. Contrary to some jet models, there was no substantial recently emerged, closed, bipolar-magnetic field in the base of the jet. Instead, over several hours, flux convergence and cancellation at the polarity inversion line inside an evolved arcade in the base apparently destabilized the entire arcade, including its cool-plasma-carrying core field, to undergo a blowout eruption in the manner of many standard-sized, arcade-blowout eruptions that produce a flare and coronal mass ejection. Internal reconnection made bright “flare” loops over the polarity inversion line inside the blowing-out arcade field, and external reconnection of the blowing-out arcade field with an ambient open field made longer and dimmer EUV loops on the outside of the blowing-out arcade. That the loops made by the external reconnection were much larger than the loops made by the internal reconnection makes this event a new variety of blowout jet, a variety not recognized in previous observations and models of blowout jets.
“Tip of the Tongue”: Experimental Reconstruction of Handaxes at the Baise Basin (South China) and Implications for Lithic Standardization

ABSTRACT Geometric morphometric studies in the Baise Basin in South China have documented unique tongue-like tip morphologies in handaxes sampled from the fourth terrace of the Youjiang River Valley. With this study, we report on a new handaxe assemblage found at the Natang site and present data that further document the prevalence of these rounded tip morphologies in the region. We use experimental replications to recreate the unique morphology of the handaxes, and demonstrate that a specific tip rounding strategy was employed by hominins as an economic and effective way to produce wider, more rounded and thinner distal tips. We suggest that these tongue-like tips indicate a predetermined design, and consequently, reflect a level of shape standardization that is heightened in functional tool portions. Moreover, this study provides further documentation of the regionally unique tool-making preferences that Pleistocene hominins employed when flexibly adapting to local environmental conditions and resource availabilities.
Does Back Squat Exercise Lead to Regional Hypertrophy among Quadriceps Femoris Muscles?

The present study investigated effects of squat resistance training on intermuscular hypertrophy of quadriceps femoris muscles (i.e., rectus femoris, RF; vastus intermedius, VI; vastus medialis, VM; and vastus lateralis, VL). Eighteen university students (age: 24.1 ± 1.7 years, 9 females) underwent 7 weeks of parallel squat training (2 days/week) preceded by a 2-week familiarization period. Squat strength (1RM) and cross-sectional area (CSA) of four quadriceps muscles were assessed at baseline and at the end of the study. At posttest, 1RM and CSA of quadriceps muscles significantly increased (p < 0.01), with moderate-to-large effect (ES = 1.25–2.11) for 1RM (8.33 ± 6.64 kg), VM CSA (0.12 ± 0.08 cm2), and VL CSA (0.19 ± 0.09 cm2) and small effect (ES = 0.89–1.13) for RF CSA (0.17 ± 0.15 cm2) and VI CSA (0.16 ± 0.18 cm2). No significant differences were found in the changes of CSA between muscles (F = 0.638, p = 0.593). However, the squat 1RM gain was significantly associated only with the changes in CSA of the VL muscle (r = 0.717, p < 0.001). The parallel squat resulted in significant growth of all quadriceps muscles. However, the novelty of this study is that the increase in strength is associated only with hypertrophy of the VL muscle.
An Assessment Of The Impact Of Dem Interpolation Technique, Resolution, And Terrain Type On The Extraction Of Drainage Network

This research used points extracted from high-resolution DEMs (1m) to investigate the impact of resolution, interpolation method and topography on the accuracy of drainage network extraction. The investigation was conducted by evaluating the accuracy of the estimations of streams length, streams number, drainage density, and the Longitudinal Root Mean Square Error (LRMSE) of the extracted drainage networks from different DEMs interpolated using Topo to raster, Natural Neighbor (NN), kriging and IDW interpolation methods at 5, 10, 15 and 20m resolutions over moderate, steep, and gentle slope terrain. Each evaluation conducted yielded a different result, but the accuracy of the streams length estimation for most of the DEMs at all the sites increases with an increase in streams order. The total lengths of all the streams of each of the extracted networks at gentle and steep slope sites are shorter than those of the corresponding reference networks though, 15 and 20m kriging and IDW DEMs created longer streams at the moderate slope site. IDW DEMs have proven reliable for streams length estimation while Topo to raster 5, 10, and 15m for streams number estimation. In general, N.N. extracted networks are the only networks that show consistency in the streams length and number estimations, drainage density estimation as well as in LRMSE and DEM RMSE computation at all the resolutions and for all the sites. Therefore, the accuracy of N.N. DEMs and their derivatives do not rapidly change with change in resolution, especially between 5 and 20m at all (steep, gentle and moderate) terrain types.
Effects of Power and Laser Speed on the Mechanical Properties of AlSi7Mg0.6 Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

The AlSi7Mg0.6 alloy, with its good tolerance against strain, is used in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) to produce parts with complex geometries for aerospace engineering. Production of parts with good mechanical strength requires, however, the optimization of laser parameters. This study thus evaluated the influence of scanning speed, laser power, and strategy on several mechanical properties (tensile/resilience/hardness) to identify an optimal processing region. Results have shown the profound influence of laser power and scanning speed on mechanical properties, with a limited influence from the laser strategy. Tensile strength values ranging from 122 to 394 MPa were obtained, while Young’s Modulus varied from 17 to 29 GPa, and the elongation at break ranged from 2.1 to 9.8%. Surface plots of each property against laser power and speed revealed a region of higher mechanical properties. This region is found when using 50 µm thick layers for energy densities between 25 and 35 J/mm3. Operating at higher values of energy density yielded sub-optimal properties, while a lower energy density resulted in poor performances. Results have shown that any optimization strategy must not only account for the volumic energy density value, but also for laser power itself when thick layers are used for fabrication. This was shown through parts exhibiting reduced mechanical performances that were produced within the optimal energy density range, but at low laser power. By combining mid-speed and power within the optimal region, parts with good microstructure and limited defects such as balling, keyhole pores, and hot cracking will be produced. Heat-treating AlSi7Mg0.6 parts to T6 temper negatively affected mechanical performances. Adapted tempering conditions are thus required if improvements are sought through tempering.
Fluid effects on velocity and attenuation in sandstones

Measurements of ultrasonic velocity and attenuation in sandstones with a variety of saturating fluids are compared with the predictions of Biot’s theory of porous media acoustics. The data show systematic deviations from Biot theory as a function of pore fluid viscosity. Two non‐Biot attenuation mechanisms are needed to explain the data: local flow in microcracks and enhanced attenuation from pore‐wall roughness. A model calculation of attenuation with pore‐wall roughness shows that attenuation in rocks can be many times larger than Biot predictions. This attenuation enhancement explains the inability to detect a Biot slow wave in fluid‐saturated rocks and the observed correlation between ultrasonic attenuation and clay content in sandstones. The non‐Biot attenuation mechanisms are negligible when extrapolated to the lower frequencies of geophysical field measurements, so ultrasonic attenuation in rocks provides no information about attenuation at the field scale.
A Multiscale Lightweight and Efficient Model Based on YOLOv7: Applied to Citrus Orchard

With the gradual increase in the annual production of citrus, the efficiency of human labor has become the bottleneck limiting production. To achieve an unmanned citrus picking technology, the detection accuracy, prediction speed, and lightweight deployment of the model are important issues. Traditional object detection methods often fail to achieve balanced effects in all aspects. Therefore, an improved YOLOv7 network model is proposed, which introduces a small object detection layer, lightweight convolution, and a CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) attention mechanism to achieve multi-scale feature extraction and fusion and reduce the number of parameters of the model. The performance of the model was tested on the test set of citrus fruit. The average accuracy (mAP@0.5) reached 97.29%, the average prediction time was 69.38 ms, and the number of parameters and computation costs were reduced by 11.21 M and 28.71 G compared with the original YOLOv7. At the same time, the Citrus-YOLOv7 model’s results show that it performs better compared with the current state-of-the-art network models. Therefore, the proposed Citrus-YOLOv7 model can contribute to solving the problem of citrus detection.
Wear Analysis of Tibial Inserts Made of Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene Supplemented with Dodecyl Gallate before and after Accelerated Aging

The wear of the tibial insert is one of the primary factors leading to the failure of total knee arthroplasty. As materials age, their wear performance often degrades. Supplementing highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) with dodecyl gallate (DG) can improve the oxidation stability of tibial inserts for use in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to evaluate the wear resistance of HXLPE supplemented with DG (HXLPE-DG) tibial inserts before and after accelerated aging. HXLPE-DG tibial inserts were subjected to wear testing of up to 5 million loading cycles according to ISO 14243, and the resulting wear particles were analyzed according to ISO 17853. The wear rate, number, size, and shape of the wear particles were analyzed. The average wear rate of the unaged samples was 4.39 ± 0.75 mg/million cycles and was 3.22 ± 1.49 mg/million cycles for the aged samples. The unaged tibial inserts generated about 2.80 × 107 particles/mL following the wear test, but this was considerably lower for the aged samples at about 1.35 × 107 particles/mL. The average equivalent circle diameter (ECD) of the wear particles from the unaged samples was 0.13 μm (max: 0.80 μm; min: 0.04 μm), and it was 0.14 μm (max: 0.66 μm; min: 0.06 μm) from the aged samples. Moreover, 22.1% of the wear particles from the unaged samples had an aspect ratio (AR) of >4 (slender shape), while this was 15.4% for the aged samples. HXLPE-DG improves the wear performance of the material over time. HXLPE-DG is a novel material that has been demonstrated to have antiaging properties and high wear resistance, making it a promising candidate for use in TKA. Nevertheless, the results are preliminary and will be clarified in further studies.
Effects of land uses and soil types on microbial activity and community structure

This study was conducted in order to understand the effects of land use and soil types on microbial activity and community structure. Soil samples were collected from four different soil types (Solonetz, Solonchak, Chernozem and Gleysol) being used under different land use practices (arable, pasture and meadow). The soil chemical properties, moisture content, microbiological activity and community size were investigated. The principal component analysis results showed that differ - ent land uses and soil types are clearly separated based on the chemical properties of the soil. The canonical correspondence analysis results revealed that more than 78% of variation in the microbiological properties of the samples could be explained by environmental factors. Significant biological differences were observed among the different land use practices and soil types, and also soil cultivation affected the different groups of soil microbes. Sampling sites were separated into two main clusters (Bray-Curtis) based on certain microbiological properties, salt-affected and non-salt-affected soils. The soil types were the main driving factor, with high soil taxonomic distances, however, low taxonomic distances indicated that land use had more pronounced effects on soil microbiological properties.
Suitability of coated conductors for fusion magnets in view of their radiation response

HTS coated conductors could replace Nb3Sn wires in future fusion power plants, where the superconductors are exposed to neutron radiation. The maximum neutron fluence a superconductor can sustain is an important criterion for its suitability for fusion magnets. We report on the change of the superconducting properties in HTS RABiTS based coated conductors following high fluence irradiation (up to 3.3 · 1022 m−2) in a research reactor, which is significantly higher than previously reported. The transition temperature decreases as a function of fluence by up to 8 K and the critical current, Ic, heavily degrades when the magnetic field is applied parallel to the tape surface. The critical currents exhibit a maximum in their fluence dependence for the perpendicular field orientation, which shifts to lower fluences at higher temperatures. The same behavior is found for the fluence where Ic falls below that of the pristine tape. This limits the operation conditions to low temperatures under the expected lifetime fluences in future fusion magnets.
Twisting DNA: single molecule studies

Over the past 10 years a number of new techniques have emerged that allow the manipulation of single DNA molecules and other biopolymers (RNA, proteins, etc.). These experiments have permitted the measurement of the DNA stretching and twisting elasticity and have consequently revealed the essential role played by the DNA mechanical properties in its interactions with proteins. We shall first describe the different methods used to stretch and twist single DNA molecules. We will then focus on its behaviour under torsion, especially by discussing the different methods used to estimate its torsional modulus.
COVID-19 Epidemiology, Immunity, and Vaccine Development in Children: A Review

Although pediatric populations experienced lower COVID-19 severity and mortality than adults, the epidemiology of this disease continues to evolve. COVID-19 clinical manifestations in pediatrics commonly include fever and cough, but may differ from adults and by variant. Serious complications, including MIS-C, rarely occur. Although early data showed a decreased likelihood of COVID-19 transmission from children versus adults, outbreaks and viral shedding studies support pediatric transmission potential. Children may mount more robust initial immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 versus adults. COVID-19 vaccines with available pediatric data include BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, CoronaVac, and BBIBP-CorV. Depending on age group and jurisdiction, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 have received full approval or emergency/conditional authorization in the United States and European Union from 6 months of age. Clinical trials have shown BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 safety and high efficacy in pediatric populations, with demonstrably noninferior immune responses versus young adults. Real-world studies further support BNT162b2 safety and effectiveness against the Delta variant. mRNA vaccination benefits are considered to outweigh risks, including myocarditis; however, pediatric vaccination rates remain relatively low. Given a growing body of clinical trial and real-world data showing vaccine safety and effectiveness, pediatric vaccination should be prioritized as an important strategy to control the pandemic.
