Trauma-specic Reactions to Sexual Assault Content in College Students: Considerations for Content Warnings

Much of the debate on content warnings has occurred with little empirical data to inform it. In the past �ve years this has started to change and in this most recent study, 185 students completed trauma surveys and a PTSD checklist and then read a passage that detailed a non�ction account of a sexual assault of a female undergraduate. Participants were sent a follow up assessment 2 weeks later. Similar to previous studies, the majority of participants (94%), including those with a sexual assault history, read the passage even when offered an alternate reading with no traumatic content. In addition, those with a sexual assault history did not report an increase in PTSD symptoms in the following 2 weeks. However, unlike the two previous studies, those with a sexual assault history reported more distress right before and just after the reading. They also reported being more emotional during the study. This discrepancy in the �ndings is likely due to the use of a non-ctional account and the use of the more speci�c Sexual Experiences Survey (SES-SFR: Koss et al., 2007) to operationalize sexual assault. This suggests that student emotional responses to potentially triggering material are likely to vary depending on the type of trauma and the nature of the content presented.
Performance of Greater Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) Under Different Staking Systems

Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) popularly known as Ratalu and Khamalu and Chupri aloo in Hindi, is an important commercial vegetable crop grown throughout India. In India, greater yam is cultivated in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, North Eastern states, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Maharashtra (Chadha, 2002). In Gujarat, it is cultivated in Valsad, Navsari, Dangs, Panchmahals, Surat and Tapi districts. The yam tubers are rich source of carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids. Normally tubers are consumed as boiled, baked or fried vegetables. It is also useful for making chips, flakes and flour. In southern Gujarat, greater yam is used to prepare certain dishes such as ‘Undhiyu’ and ‘Ubadiyu’ especially during winter season and for making delicious ‘Pakoras’ during marriage ceremony. Yam tubers contain small amount of sapogenins and alkaloids like diosgenin, which are used for preparing contraceptive drugs, for curing leprosy, piles, arthritis and gonorrhea.

French connection: interlocking directorates and ownership network in an insider governance system

Nous montrons que les liens de propriete entre les grandes societes francaises expliquent largement la presence d’administrateurs en commun, unique ou multiples, entre elles. Tant les grandes participations que les petites, de 1 % a 20 % du capital ou des droits de vote, ont un fort pouvoir explicatif. Nous montrons egalement qu’il existe une relation croissante entre la taille de la participation et la force de la correlation entre les liens de propriete et l’existence d’administrateurs communs entre les societes. Finalement, nous montrons que la causalite va des liens de propriete aux reseaux d’administrateurs, tant pour les participations unilaterales que pour les participations croisees.
Beyond Words: A Comprehensive Survey of Sentence Representations

Sentence representations have become a crit-ical component in natural language processing applications, such as retrieval, question an-swering, and text classiﬁcation. They capture the semantics and meaning of a sentence, en-abling machines to understand and reason over human language. In recent years, signiﬁcant progress has been made in developing methods for learning sentence representations, including unsupervised, supervised, and transfer learning approaches. In this paper, we provide an overview of the different methods for sentence representation learning, including both traditional and deep learning-based techniques. We provide a systematic organi-zation of the literature on sentence representation learning, highlighting the key contribu-tions and challenges in this area. Overall, our review highlights the progress made in sentence representation learning, the importance of this area in natural language processing, and the challenges that remain. We conclude with directions for future research, suggesting potential avenues for improving the quality and efﬁciency of sentence representations in NLP applications.
Organic geochemistry and oil-generating potential of the Oligocene–Early Miocene Dingqinghu Formation sediments in the Lunpola Basin, Tibet

The hydrocarbon source rock potential of shales from the Oligocene–Early Miocene Dingqinghu Formation was evaluated using organic geochemistry (Rock-Eval pyrolysis, total organic carbon (TOC) and bitumen extraction) and organic petrology. Forty-one outcrop samples from Lunbori and Jiangria Co shales in the Lunpola Basin were analysed. At Lunbori, in the central part of the basin, the shales have very good source rock potential, and show TOC contents ranging from 3.72 to 11.2 wt%, with an average TOC value of 7.36 wt%, S2 values of 33.4 – 99.5 mg HC/g rock (average 61.8 mg HC/g rock), and extractable organic matter contents varying from 513 to 4525 ppm (average 2105 ppm). The shales have very good source rock potential. Rock-Eval Tmax values of 433 – 437°C (average 435°C) and high carbon preference index (CPI) values (4.76 – 6.70) indicate that the organic matter is immature to early mature for oil generation. The yellow fluorescence of kerogen under UV light is in good agreement with Tmax and CPI data. High hydrogen indices (HI) (635 – 1057 mg HC/g TOC) and H/C ratios (1.60 – 1.72) indicate that the Lunbori shales contain oil-prone organic matter and are characterized by high yellow fluorescing amorphous sapropelite content. The Lunbori shales contain a high content of hydrogen-rich Type II and minor Type I oil-prone kerogen, and have dominant medium to long molecular weight n-alkanes (maximizing at C25 or C27) with marked odd carbon number preference in the n-C23 – n-C31 range, pristine/phytane (Pr/Ph) ratios of 0.06 – 0.14, high phytane/n-C18 ratios (10.95 – 30.63), abundant gammacerane (gammacerane/C31 hopane: 0.44 – 1.80), and predominant regular sterane C27. These data indicate deposition in stratified, anoxic and saline depositional conditions with a kerogen predominatly formed from a lacustrine biota. The Jiangria Co shales in the western part of the Lunpola Basin contain some hydrogen-rich Type I and II oil-prone kerogens at a marginally mature level. They have TOC contents of up to 2.62 wt%, S2 values of up to 17.2 mg HC/g rock and extractable organic matter contents of up to 1731 ppm, indicating good source rock potential for oil generation. This is supported by their high HI values (420 – 720 mg HC/g TOC) and H/C ratios (1.05 – 1.50). The biomarker distributions of the extracts are characterized by odd carbon number predominance (C23–C31), low Pr/Ph ratios (0.05 – 0.09), high concentrations of phytane and high gammacerane content, indicating lacustrine reducing and saline conditions.
18F-FDG-PET/CT for Localizing the Epileptogenic Focus in Patients with Different Types of Focal Cortical Dysplasia

Purpose To determine the diagnostic and localization value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in patients with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) who underwent epilepsy surgery. Methods One hundred and eight patients with pathologically proven FCD who underwent surgery for refractory epilepsy were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 18F-FDG-PET/CT, and video electroencephalography. An MRI diagnosis of FCD was defined as MRI+. A PET/CT diagnosis of FCD was defined as PET/CT+. Results MRI and PET/CT detected FCD in 20.37% and 93.52% of patients, respectively. The difference was significant. Twenty-one patients were MRI+/PET+, 80 were MRI-/PET+, six were MRI-/PET-, and one was MRI+/PET-. The MRI positivity rate was lowest in patients with FCD type IIIa (5.6%, P < 0.05). Prevalence of MRI-/PET+ was highest in patients with FCD type IIIa (88.89%, P < 0.05). Conclusion PET/CT is superior to MRI in detecting FCD. FCD type IIIa was more likely than other types to show MRI-/PET+. This suggests that PET/CT has particular diagnostic value for FCD type IIIa patients with negative MRI findings.
Safety of fasting in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with stable chronic kidney disease during Ramadan

Objective: To assess the safety of fasting in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with stable CKD during Ramadan. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at three secondary and tertiary care hospitals of Karachi during the month of Ramadan from 25th March to 7th May 2022. Patients who met the eligibility criteria were assessed pre-Ramadan, and their baseline blood pressure, serum urea, creatinine, electrolytes, uric acid, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were documented and tracked over the course of Ramadan and up to one week post-Ramadan. Deterioration in renal functions (defined as a rise of ≥30% in serum creatinine from the baseline or the decline of ≥25% in eGFR from the baseline) was observed during the month of Ramadan. Results: A total of 68 patients (34 males and 32 females) with the mean age 58.7±12.16 years were included in the study. Out of 66 patients, 38 were diabetic and 28 were non diabetic. Majority 23(34.8%) were stage-3a and 23(34.8%) were stage-4 followed by stage-3b in 14(21.2%), stage-2 in 3(4.5%) and stage-5 in 3(4.5%) patients respectively. Statistically significant improvement in pre and post Ramadan values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum creatinine and uric acid levels were found in both diabetic and non-diabetic group (P value <0.0001). Conclusion: Our study shows no worsening of renal functions in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients with stable CKD who intended to fast.

Dynamic Behaviour of Pile Foundations in Layered Soil Half-Space Using Cone Method

The dynamic behaviour of pile foundations embedded in a horizontally stratified soil profile is investigated using the Cone method, which applies only for shallow foundations. In this paper dynamic impedance functions have been generated for several cases using an enhanced cone frustum approach which deals with the drawback of negative damping in the current approach. The frequency domain approach can be implemented in systems modelled using the spectral elements. Comparison with the coupled Finite Element-Boundary Element (FE-BE) method shows a good correlation with the proposed method which does not use transformation to the wave-number domain.
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries in female athletes: risk factors and strategies for prevention

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common and debilitating knee injuries in professional athletes with an incidence in females up to eight-times higher than their male counterparts. ACL injuries can be career-threatening and are associated with increased risk of developing knee osteoarthritis in future life. The increased risk of ACL injury in females has been attributed to various anatomical, developmental, neuromuscular, and hormonal factors. Anatomical and hormonal factors have been identified and investigated as significant contributors including osseous anatomy, ligament laxity, and hamstring muscular recruitment. Postural stability and impact absorption are associated with the stabilizing effort and stress on the ACL during sport activity, increasing the risk of noncontact pivot injury. Female patients have smaller diameter hamstring autografts than males, which may predispose to increased risk of re-rupture following ACL reconstruction and to an increased risk of chondral and meniscal injuries. The addition of an extra-articular tenodesis can reduce the risk of failure; therefore, it should routinely be considered in young elite athletes. Prevention programs target key aspects of training including plyometrics, strengthening, balance, endurance and stability, and neuromuscular training, reducing the risk of ACL injuries in female athletes by up to 90%. Sex disparities in access to training facilities may also play an important role in the risk of ACL injuries between males and females. Similarly, football boots, pitches quality, and football size and weight should be considered and tailored around females’ characteristics. Finally, high levels of personal and sport-related stress have been shown to increase the risk of ACL injury which may be related to alterations in attention and coordination, together with increased muscular tension, and compromise the return to sport after ACL injury. Further investigations are still necessary to better understand and address the risk factors involved in ACL injuries in female athletes. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2024;5(2):94–100.
Safety of nighttime elective hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma patients: a retrospective study

Purpose This study aimed to investigate whether nighttime elective surgery influenced the short-term outcomes and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods The 1,339 HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy were divided into the daytime surgery group (8 a.m.–6 p.m., n = 1,105) and the nighttime surgery group (after 6 p.m., n = 234) based on the start time of surgery. The 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to control confounding factors. The short-term outcomes of HCC patients in the 2 groups were compared before and after PSM. Factors associated with major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade, ≥III) and textbook oncologic outcomes (TOO) were separately identified by multivariable logistic regression based on variables screened via least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results TOO was achieved after surgery in 897 HCC patients. HCC patients in the nighttime surgery group had a higher body mass index (P = 0.010). After 1:2 PSM, the baseline characteristics of patients between the 2 groups were similar. Short-term outcomes in HCC patients were comparable both before and after PSM (all Ps > 0.05), as were TOO in the 2 groups before (P = 0.673) and after PSM (P = 0.333). In our LASSO-logistic regression, nighttime surgery was not an independent factor associated with major complications or TOO. Both groups also had similar OS (P = 0.950) and RFS (P = 0.740) after PSM. Conclusion Our study revealed the safety of nighttime elective hepatectomy for HCC patients.
The quality and reliability of patient education regarding sound therapy videos for tinnitus on YouTube

Background Numerous online videos are available on sound therapy as a treatment modality for tinnitus, but it is uncertain if these videos are adequate for patient education. This study aims to evaluate the quality and reliability of tinnitus sound therapy videos on YouTube for patient education. Methods YouTube videos were searched using keywords related to “tinnitus sound therapy”. The top 100 videos were analyzed after excluding those were repetitive, irrelevant, less than 3 min, or not in English. After categorising the videos based on their authorship and content, the video power index (VPI) was relied to determine their popularity. The DISCERN questionnaire (DISCERN), the Global Quality Score (GQS), the Journal of the American Medical Association benchmark criteria (JAMA), and the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) were utilized to evaluate the quality, transparency, and patient education. Results Over half (56%) of the videos were published by professional organizations. A total of 93% of them contained sound only. Only 17% followed the recommendations of the Clinical Management of Tinnitus Guidelines, and 3% provided literature referenced by the video. A variety types of sound were used, among which music accounting for 35%. The videos were highly popular with an average views of 7,335,003.28 ± 24,174,764.02 and an average VPI of 4,610.33 ± 11,531.10. However, their quality was poor (the median scores: 38/80 for DISCERN, 2/5 for GQS, 1/4 for JAMA, and 50%/100% for PEMAT). There was a negative correlation between the popularity of the videos and their quality, indicated by PEMAT: −0.207, DISCERN: −0.307, GQS: −0.302, and JAMA: −0.233. Several dimensions of the videos require improvement, especially actionability, treatment options, and transparency with lacks of 100%, 63%, and 75% respectively. Conclusion The tinnitus sound therapy videos available on YouTube exhibit low quality. Nevertheless, they also hold potential for health education if refined and utilized suitably.
Modelling the role of glucocorticoid receptor as mediator of endocrine responses to environmental challenge

Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) modulate acute ‘stress’ responses in vertebrates, exerting their actions across many physiological systems to help the organism face and overcome challenges. These actions take place via binding to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which determines not only the magnitude of the GC-mediated physiological response but also the negative feedback that downregulates GCs to restore homeostasis. Although GR function is assumed to determine GC regulation capacity, the associations between GR abundance and individuals' coping abilities remain cryptic. We developed a dynamic model fitted to empirical data to predict the effects of GR abundance on both plasma GC response patterns and the magnitude of GC-mediated physiological response. Individuals with higher GRs showed lower GC exposure, stronger physiological responses and greater capacity to adjust this response according to stressor intensity, which may be translated into more resilient and flexible GC phenotypes. Our results also show that among-individual variability in GR abundance challenges the detectability of the association between plasma GC measurements and physiological responses. Our approach provides mechanistic insights into the role of GRs in plasma GC measurements and function, which point at GR abundance fundamentally driving complex features of the GC regulation system in the face of environmental change. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Endocrine responses to environmental variation: conceptual approaches and recent developments’.
