Published: November 2021

Hintergrund: Die Körperdysmorphe Störung (KDS) ist eine schwerwiegende psychische Störung, die mit starker Scham sowie Leidensdruck und Funktionseinschränkungen einhergeht. Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie stellt die aktuell wirksamste evidenzbasierte Behandlungsmethode dar. Aufgrund zahlreicher Behandlungsbarrieren kommen KDS-Betroffene jedoch selten in der psychotherapeutischen Behandlung an, weshalb niedrigschwelligen Behandlungsmethoden (z.B. aus dem Bereich E-Mental-Health) eine wichtige Rolle zukommen könnten. Erste internationale Studien weisen auf die Wirksamkeit von E-Mental-Health-Angeboten bei KDS hin. Material und Methoden: Dieser Beitrag gibt eine Übersicht zur bisherigen Umsetzung und Evidenz von E-Mental-Health-Angeboten für KDS und stellt die ins Deutsche übersetzte Version des BDD-NET-Programms, eines internetbasierten, manuali­sierten, therapeutenbegleiteten Interventionsprogramms, für die KDS vor, welches aus dem Englischen für den deutschen Sprachraum übersetzt und adaptiert wurde. Ergebnisse: BDD-NET umfasst acht Module, die binnen einer 12-wöchigen Behandlung online bearbeitet werden. Die Online-Plattform bietet für die Patienten die Möglichkeit, mit dem BDD-NET-Therapeuten mittels persönlicher Nachrichten zu kommunizieren. Sämtliche Materialien wurden aus dem Englischen übersetzt und vor allem in kultureller Hinsicht adaptiert. Schlussfolgerungen: BDD-NET könnte ein wichtiger Baustein in der Versorgung von KDS-Betroffenen sein. Die Evaluation steht für den deutschen Sprachraum noch aus. Auf Besonderheiten des Settings (z.B. Störungseinsicht als möglicher Behandlungsfokus) sowie praktische Implikationen wird eingegangen. Zudem werden Voraussetzungen und Rahmenbedingungen für eine perspektivische Dissemination diskutiert.

Introduction: Intra-abdominal adhesions’ main etiology is surgical procedures that commonly require reintervention. Oral treatments with sildenafil, zafirlukast, and pirfenidone have yielded decreased severity of fibrotic phenomena secondary to the introduction of foreign material. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of oral zafirlukast, sildenafil, or pirfenidone treatment on reducing or preventing intra-abdominal adhesions in an experimental rat model. Methods: Four groups, each of 10 male Wistar rats weighing 250–300 g, were used. A midline laparotomy was used to excise an area of 1.5 × 1.5 cm and reconstructed with polypropylene mesh fixed to the abdominal wall. After 12 h, oral doses of zafirlukast (1.25 mg/kg, group B), sildenafil (15 mg/kg, group C), or pirfenidone (500 mg/kg, group D) were given every day for 8 days. The control group, A, received no treatment. At day 9, animals were reoperated. The implant was resected after ethically approved euthanasia, and specimens were fixed in 10% formaldehyde for histopathology. Results: Control group A yielded adhesions with greater fibrovascular density and neighboring organ involvement than the other groups (p = 0.001), as well as intense inflammatory infiltrates and numerous granulomas (p = 0.04). Adhesions in group C had less fibrovascular density (p = 0.03) with decreased serosal injuries (p = 0.001) and less organ involvement. Group D had reduced adhesions without organ involvement (p < 0.01) and less inflammatory infiltrates, collagen fibers, and foreign body granulomas than group B or C (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Oral administration of these agents did not prevent adhesions but ameliorated them. Oral pirfenidone offered the best performance and could be recommended for human use.

Claude Lefort e a herança merleau-pontiana
Authors: Ramos Silvana de Souza
Published: November 2021

Claude Lefort é sem dúvida um herdeiro da filosofia de Merleau-Ponty. Porém, longe de assumir o primado do corpo para explicar tanto a cidadania quanto a democracia, o filósofo defende a necessária desincorporação do cidadão e da sociedade no contexto desse regime. Trata-se de investigar a mutação simbólica que abriu o horizonte moderno para a experiência democrática de indeterminação, quando o sujeito não consegue encontrar para si uma imagem definitiva, apta a lhe dar um lugar no campo social, e em que a sociedade trabalha constantemente seus conflitos internos, de modo que ela tampouco consegue dar-se a si mesma uma identidade. O objetivo do presente artigo é investigar essa estranha filiação, em que o herdeiro de certo modo desconstrói o espólio, pois, ao contrário de Merleau-Ponty, Lefort parece recusar a pertinência moderna da noção de corpo. Para elucidar essa estranheza, levanto a hipótese de que Lefort privilegia a noção de carne, central na ontologia tardia de Merleau-Ponty, em detrimento das formulações iniciais relativas ao corpo próprio, pois a primeira abre campo à indeterminação enquanto elemento necessário para que a democracia possa vicejar, livre dos entraves pré-modernos ligados à imagem da identidade.

Influence of Monitoring Strategy on Assessment of Ablation Success and Postablation Atrial Fibrillation Burden Assessment: Implications for Practice and Clinical Trial Design
Authors: Aguilar Martin , Macle Laurent , Deyell Marc W. , Yao Robert , Hawkins Nathaniel M. , Khairy Paul , Andrade Jason G.
Published: November 2021

Background:

Various noninvasive intermittent rhythm monitoring strategies have been used to assess arrhythmia recurrences in trials evaluating pharmacological and invasive therapeutic interventions for atrial fibrillation (AF). We determined whether a frequency and duration of noninvasive rhythm monitoring could be identified that accurately detects arrhythmia recurrences and approximates the AF burden derived from continuous monitoring using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM).

Methods:

The rhythm history of 346 patients enrolled in the CIRCA-DOSE trial (Cryoballoon Versus Contact-Force Irrigated Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation) was reconstructed. Using computer simulations, we evaluated event-free survival, sensitivity, negative predictive value, and AF burden of a range of noninvasive monitoring strategies, including those used in contemporary AF ablation trials.

Results:

A total of 126 290 monitoring days were included in the analysis. At 12 months, 164 patients experienced atrial arrhythmia recurrence as documented by the ICM (1-year event-free survival, 52.6%). Most noninvasive monitoring strategies used in AF ablation trials had poor sensitivity for detecting arrhythmia recurrence. Sensitivity increased with the intensity of monitoring, with serial (3) short-duration monitors (24-/48-hour ECG monitors) missing a substantial proportion of recurrences (sensitivity, 15.8% [95% CI, 8.9%–20.7%] and 24.5% [95% CI, 16.2%–30.6%], respectively). Serial (3) longer-term monitors (14-day ECG monitors) more closely approximated the gold standard ICM (sensitivity, 64.6% [95% CI, 53.6%–74.3%]). AF burden derived from short-duration monitors significantly overestimated the true AF burden in patients with recurrences. Increasing monitoring duration resulted in improved correlation and concordance between noninvasive estimates of the invasive AF burden (
R
2
= 0.85 and interclass correlation coefficient = 0.91 for serial [3] 14-day ECG monitors versus ICM).

Conclusions:

The observed rate of postablation atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence is highly dependent on the arrhythmia monitoring strategy employed. Between-trial discrepancies in outcomes may reflect different monitoring protocols. On the basis of measures of agreement, serial long-term (7–14 day) intermittent monitors accumulating at least 28 days of annual monitoring provide estimates of AF burden comparable with ICM. However, ICMs outperform intermittent monitoring for arrhythmia detection, and should be considered the gold standard for clinical trials.

Association Between Plasma Trimethyllysine and Prognosis of Patients With Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Xu Jie , Zhao Mingming , Wang Anxin , Xue Jing , Cheng Si , Cheng Aichun , Gao Jianing , Zhang Qi , Zhan Rui , Meng Xia , Xu Ming , Li Hao , Zheng Lemin , Wang Yongjun
Published: November 2021

Background

Trimethyllysine, a trimethylamine N‐oxide precursor, has been identified as an independent cardiovascular risk factor in acute coronary syndrome. However, limited data are available to examine the role of trimethyllysine in the population with stroke. We aimed to examine the relationship between plasma trimethyllysine levels and stroke outcomes in patients presenting with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.

Methods and Results

Data of 10 027 patients with ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack from the CNSR‐III (Third China National Stroke Registry) and 1‐year follow‐up data for stroke outcomes were analyzed. Plasma levels of trimethyllysine were measured with mass spectrometry. The association between trimethyllysine and stroke outcomes was analyzed using Cox regression models. Mediation analysis was performed to examine the mediation effects of risk factors on the associations of trimethyllysine and stroke outcomes. Elevated trimethyllysine levels were associated with increased risk of cardiovascular death (quartile 4 versus quartile 1: adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.72; 95% CI, 1.03–2.86) and all‐cause mortality (quartile 4 versus quartile 1: HR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.40–2.78) in multivariate Cox regression model. However, no associations were found between trimethyllysine and nonfatal stroke recurrence or nonfatal myocardial infarction. Trimethyllysine was associated with cardiovascular death independent of trimethylamine N‐oxide. Both estimated glomerular filtration rate and hs‐CRP (high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein) had significant mediation effects on the association of trimethyllysine with cardiovascular death, with a mediation effect of 37.8% and 13.4%, respectively.

Conclusions

Elevated trimethyllysine level is associated with cardiovascular death among patients with ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack. Mediation analyses propose that trimethyllysine contributes to cardiovascular death through inflammation and renal function, suggesting a possible pathomechanistic link.

Published: November 2021

Background

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading mode of death in the United States. Epilepsy affects 1% of Americans; yet epidemiological data show a prevalence of 4% in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) may share features with sudden cardiac arrest. The objective of this study was to report autopsy and genomic findings in a large cohort of SUDEP cases.

Methods and Results

Mayo Clinic Sudden Death Registry containing cases (ages 0–90 years) of sudden unexpected and unexplained deaths 1960 to present was queried. Exome sequencing performed on decedent cases. From 13 687 cases of sudden death, 656 (4.8%) had a history of seizures, including 368 confirmed by electroencephalography, 96 classified as SUDEP, 58 as non‐SUDEP, and 214 as unknown (insufficient records). Mean age of death in SUDEP was 37 (±19.7) years; 56 (58.3%) were male; 65% of deaths occurred at night; 54% were found in bed; and 80.6% were prone. Autopsies were obtained in 83 cases; bystander coronary artery disease was frequently reported as cause of death; nonspecific fibrosis was seen in 32.6% of cases, in structurally normal hearts. There were 4 cases of Dravet syndrome with pathogenic variants in
SCN1A
gene. Using whole exome sequencing in 11 cases, 18 ultrarare nonsynonymous variants were identified in 6 cases including
CACNB2, RYR2, CLNB, CACNA1H,
and
CLCN2
.

Conclusions

This study examined one of the largest single‐center US series of SUDEP cases. Several cases were reclassified as SUDEP, 15% had an ECG when alive, and 11 (11.4%) had blood for whole exome sequencing analysis. The most frequent antemortem genetic finding was pathogenic variants in
SCN1A
; postmortem whole exome sequencing identified 18 ultrarare variants.

Background

Complete revascularization reduces cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) and multivessel disease. The optimal time point of non–target‐vessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of early (<4 weeks) versus late (≥4 weeks) staged PCI of non–target‐vessels in patients with ACS scheduled for staged PCI after hospital discharge.

Methods and Results

All patients with ACS undergoing planned staged PCI from 2009 to 2017 at Bern University Hospital, Switzerland, were analyzed. Patients with cardiogenic shock, in‐hospital staged PCI, staged cardiac surgery, and multiple staged PCIs were excluded. The primary end point was all‐cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction and urgent premature non–target‐vessel PCI. Of 8657 patients with ACS, staged revascularization was planned in 1764 patients, of whom 1432 patients fulfilled the eligibility criteria. At 1 year, there were no significant differences in the crude or adjusted rates of the primary end point (7.8% early versus 10.8% late, hazard ratio [HR], 0.72 [95% CI, 0.47–1.10],
P
=0.129; adjusted HR, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.50–1.28],
P
=0.346) and its individual components (all‐cause death: 1.5% versus 2.9%, HR, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.20–1.33],
P
=0.170; adjusted HR, 0.62 [95% CI, 0.23–1.67],
P
=0.343; recurrent myocardial infarction: 4.2% versus 4.4%, HR, 0.97 [95% CI, 0.475–1.10],
P
=0.924; adjusted HR, 1.03 [95% CI, 0.53–2.01],
P
=0.935; non–target‐vessel PCI, 3.9% versus 5.7%, HR, 0.97 [95% CI, 0.53–1.80],
P
=0.928; adjusted HR, 1.19 [95% CI, 0.61–2.34],
P
=0.609).

Conclusions

In this single‐center cohort study of patients with ACS scheduled to undergo staged PCI after hospital discharge, early (<4 weeks) versus late (≥4 weeks) staged PCI was associated with a similar rate of major adverse cardiac events at 1 year follow‐up.

Visual Entity Linking via Multi-modal Learning
Authors: Zheng Qiushuo , Wen Hao , Wang Meng , Qi Guilin
Published: November 2021

Existing visual scene understanding methods mainly focus on identifying coarse-grained concepts about the visual objects and their relationships, largely neglecting fine-grained scene understanding. In fact, many data-driven applications on the Web (e.g., news-reading and e-shopping) require accurate recognition of much less coarse concepts as entities and proper linking them to a knowledge graph (KG), which can take their performance to the next level. In light of this, in this paper, we identify a new research task: visual entity linking for fine-grained scene understanding. To accomplish the task, we first extract features of candidate entities from different modalities, i.e., visual features, textual features, and KG features. Then, we design a deep modal-attention neural network-based learning-to-rank method which aggregates all features and maps visual objects to the entities in KG. Extensive experimental results on the newly constructed dataset show that our proposed method is effective as it significantly improves the accuracy performance from 66.46% to 83.16% compared with baselines.
A Classroom Observer Like Me: The Effects of Race-Congruence and Gender-Congruence between Teachers and Raters on Observation Scores
Authors: Chi Olivia L.
Published: November 2021

State and local education agencies across the country are prioritizing the goal of diversifying the teacher workforce. To further understand the challenges of diversifying the teacher pipeline, I investigate race and gender dynamics between teachers and school-based administrators, who are key decision makers in hiring, evaluating, and retaining teachers. I use longitudinal data from a large school district in the southeastern United States to examine the effects of race-congruence and gender-congruence between teachers and observers/administrators on teachers’ observation scores. Using models with two-way fixed effects, I find that teachers, on average, experience small positive increases in their scores from sharing race or gender with their observers, raising fairness concerns for teachers whose race or gender identities are not reflected by any of their raters.
Probing the association between resting-state brain network dynamics
and psychological resilience
Authors: Kraft Dominik , Fiebach Christian J.
Published: November 2021

This study aimed at replicating a previously reported negative correlation between node flexibility and psychological resilience, that is, the ability to retain mental health in the face of stress and adversity. To this end, we used multiband resting-state BOLD fMRI (TR = .675 sec) from 52 participants who had filled out three psychological questionnaires assessing resilience. Time-resolved functional connectivity was calculated by performing a sliding window approach on averaged time series parcellated according to different established atlases. Multilayer modularity detection was performed to track network reconfigurations over time, and node flexibility was calculated as the number of times a node changes community assignment. In addition, node promiscuity (the fraction of communities a node participates in) and node degree (as proxy for time-varying connectivity) were calculated to extend previous work. We found no substantial correlations between resilience and node flexibility. We observed a small number of correlations between the two other brain measures and resilience scores that were, however, very inconsistently distributed across brain measures, differences in temporal sampling, and parcellation schemes. This heterogeneity calls into question the existence of previously postulated associations between resilience and brain network flexibility and highlights how results may be influenced by specific analysis choices.
Assessing the Sensitivity of EEG-Based Frequency-Tagging as a Metric for Statistical Learning
Authors: Pinto Danna , Prior Anat , Zion Golumbic Elana
Published: November 2021

Statistical learning (SL) is hypothesized to play an important role in language development. However, the measures typically used to assess SL, particularly at the level of individual participants, are largely indirect and have low sensitivity. Recently, a neural metric based on frequency-tagging has been proposed as an alternative measure for studying SL. We tested the sensitivity of frequency-tagging measures for studying SL in individual participants in an artificial language paradigm, using non-invasive electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings of neural activity in humans. Importantly, we used carefully constructed controls to address potential acoustic confounds of the frequency-tagging approach, and compared the sensitivity of EEG-based metrics to both explicit and implicit behavioral tests of SL. Group-level results confirm that frequency-tagging can provide a robust indication of SL for an artificial language, above and beyond potential acoustic confounds. However, this metric had very low sensitivity at the level of individual participants, with significant effects found only in 30% of participants. Comparison of the neural metric to previously established behavioral measures for assessing SL showed a significant yet weak correspondence with performance on an implicit task, which was above-chance in 70% of participants, but no correspondence with the more common explicit 2-alternative forced-choice task, where performance did not exceed chance-level. Given the proposed ubiquitous nature of SL, our results highlight some of the operational and methodological challenges of obtaining robust metrics for assessing SL, as well as the potential confounds that should be taken into account when using the frequency-tagging approach in EEG studies.

Relevance. Neuropsychological rehabilitation and assessment are the priority tasks in practice of a clinical psychologist. The modern rehabilitation system can be considered as a partnership between patients, their families and different specialists participating in the rehabilitation process. The existing approaches to neurorehabilitation are aimed at the earliest possible intervention. It`s of particular importance for patients with disorders of consciousness, whose number has been increasing in connection with the development of medicine in recent decades. This leads to the need to develop tools for specialized neuropsychological assessment and methods of neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients in the early stages of recovery of consciousness. Objective. To summarize neuropsychological diagnostic and rehabilitation experience of working with patients with disorders of consciousness after brain lesions. Methods. We analyze practical guidelines, applied research and our own hands-on experience of working with patients with disorders of consciousness after brain lesions. Results. Based on the analysis, the recommended diagnostic tools are formulated that can be used to identify the current level of consciousness and to assess various parameters of psychic activity of patients with disorders of consciousness. In addition, the main directions and neuropsychological methods of rehabilitation work recommended for recovery of consciousness and continuing to be developed now are highlighted. Conclusion. A new diagnostic and rehabilitation material is presented, which is recommended for use in neuropsychological practice by practicing clinical psychologists with patients with disorders of consciousness after brain lesions.
REGIONAL IDENTITY AS A PREDICTOR OF CIVIL IDENTITY IN THE COUNTRY’S YOUTH
Authors: Litvinov Vladimir U. , Matveeva Lidia V.
Published: November 2021

Relevance. The article discusses the actualization of the concept of “regional identity” for psychological science. In many ways, for the first time there is a comparison of the categorical structure of ideas about the country and about its own region. Objective. Comparison of the image of Russia and the images of their own regions among young people living in various regions of the country. Methods. Semantic scaling technique with further factorization of the obtained data. The study involved 318 respondents from 8 different macro-regions of the country. Results. A 6-factor structure of representations of the image of Russia and the image of its own region was obtained. These structures have their own significant differences, both in the structure of factors itself, and in the degree of importance of the hierarchy of factors. The regional identity of youth, to a certain extent, determines the modality of the adoption of civic identity. Conclusions. According to the results of the study, it can be argued that for those young people who developed a positive image of their own region, a positive image of the country as a whole was formed.
AN INDIVIDUAL-INTELLECTUAL GROUND OF STUDENTS’ EDUCATIONAL CAPITAL (BASED ON THE HUMANITARIAN SPECIALTIES)
Authors: Dorfman Leonid Ya. , Kalugin Alexey Yu.
Published: November 2021

Actuality. In the light of the changes taking place in the Russian education system, the transition to the competence paradigm, the study of resources and potentials as components of the educational capital is of particular importance. This question has not yet been sufficiently investigated empirically. Objective. To study the individual-intellectual integrations of students of humanities in 3 time periods: in the present, in the future, in the future as an updated present — both separately and together. Methods. The research is based on the ideas of the cross-theoretical integration of the theory of integral individuality by V.S. Merlin (1986) and the structural-dynamic theory of intelligence by D.V. Ushakov (2011). The study involved 252 university students from Perm, including 190 girls and 62 boys aged 17 to 22 years. Structural modeling was in use to test the hypotheses. Four models tested individual-intellectual integrations based on the time criterion. In 3 models, they were studied separately in the present, in the future, and in the future as an updated present. In the 4th, mediation model of individual-intellectual integrations, the present, the future, and the future as the updated present entered together. Results. Individual-intellectual integrations occurred in each time period separately. Results in the present led to the assumption that they reveal the resources, in the future as the background of realized potentials, in the future as an updated present as the source of updated resources. Taken together in all time periods, individual-intellectual integrations have also been found. They allowed to expand the idea of the “development spiral” based on the previous interpretation (Dorfman, Kalugin, 2020 a) and consider it according to the scheme “present — future — realized future (updated present)”. Conclusions. The results of the study indicate that individual-intellectual integrations presented in three time periods (in the present, in the future, in the future as an updated present), both separately and jointly, evidence in favor of they are a basis of resources and potentials.
THE EVALUATION OF USER`S REPRESENTATION OF PERSONAL COMPUTER
Authors: Dorokhov Egor A. , Gusev Alexey N.
Published: November 2021

Relevance. The increasing complexity of technical devices used by humans and the high rate of emergence of new devices and their functions lead to the emergence of various practices and habits of working with them. It is possible to see a specific representation of what a personal computer (PC) consists of and how it works for each of these practices. This representation has developed in the process of working with a PC as its mental model. However, the task of reconstructing these models and comparing different respondents with each other according to the specifics of their understanding of the PC does not have the necessary methodological support. It is necessary to get representations of PC in a comparable form to effectively compare the different people`s/group`s representations of PC with each other and study their mental models, preserving the qualitative specifics of these “images of PC”. The purpose of this work is to empirically approbate the technology of reconstructing the representations of PC users about the computer itself as a multidimensional psychological space of descriptions of its work. Methods. Methods of group interviews and card sorting were used to collect descriptions of “how PC works”, multidimensional scaling methods were used to reconstruct representations of PC among groups of study participants. Results. We have reconstructed and described the representations about the work of the PC of three groups of users — schoolchildren (N = 22), programmers (N = 22) and ordinary adults without special education (N = 21) as multidimen-sional spaces of descriptions of the work of the PC. We identified the bases of classification of PC operation descriptions for each group of users and develop a technology for analyzing the results of studying their representations about PC as latent characteristics that form the basis of classification of PC operation descriptions.
To Read or Not to Eat: Anthropomorphism in Children’s Books
Authors: Andrianova Anastassiya
Published: November 2021

Anthropomorphic nonhuman animals figure prominently in children’s literature, teaching young readers relevant life lessons and adding variety, humor, and emotional distance to safely consider otherwise traumatizing ideas. Despite its educational and developmental value, however, using animal characters to tell human stories normalizes the very same mechanisms that adult humans use to subjugate real animals. Bringing animal-studies insights to bear on children’s literature and development, this article critiques the use of anthropomorphism in children’s books and urges that, short of the unrealistic demand to abandon the animal as metaphor, young readers and their adult mentors reread children’s books critically and discuss ways of making animals matter. The article examines the debate about anthropomorphism in science and its application to childhood development. It then turns to the pros and cons of anthropomorphizing animals in children’s books and discusses specific examples of books featuring anthropomorphic animal characters.
Nussbaum’s Capabilities Approach to Compassionate Conservation: The Case of Wild Horses in the United States
Authors: Reed Christine
Published: November 2021

Human-animal studies have taken a “wild turn” because of growing concern that the urgency to preserve or restore native species and ecosystems has led to overlooking the pain and suffering inflicted upon nonhuman animals targeted as threats to that cause. Martha Nussbaum’s capabilities approach is used to examine the case of wild horses in the American West. Federal law protecting them predates amendments requiring managers to regulate their numbers because of conservation. I conclude that the wild horse program meets Nussbaum’s definition of compassion in important respects, and that temporary fertility control, long-term pastures, and adoptions fulfill her criteria of justice, but with important qualifications. The capabilities approach relies on the possibility of rational discourse about the protection of wildlife individuals, but that consensus might apply only to certain species. In addition, “culture wars” plaguing the U.S. threaten the possibility of a consensus about compassion and justice for nonhuman animals.
South Africa to India
Authors: Dhupelia-Mesthrie Uma
Published: November 2021

This article focuses on the repatriation of Indians from South Africa, first under indentured labour contracts, and then under modified schemes between 1914 and 1975 applicable to all Indians. While the historiography of Indian South Africans prioritises movement of Indians to South Africa, this article is about reverse movement to India. It analyses narratives of repatriation that emerge from official sources in India and South Africa such as statistics, reports of officials in India, petitions and letters from repatriates and observations of public figures. It then shifts focus to a Cape-based immigration archive that focuses on Cape Town repatriates, thus drawing Cape Town more closely into the scholarly field of Indian Ocean mobilities but also firmly into the historiography of Indian South Africans, hitherto predominantly focussed on the former provinces, Natal and the Transvaal. By bringing Cape Town repatriates into the fuller story, an alternative narrative to the dominant one of coercion and suffering is offered.
Inferentialism is as Compositional as it Needs to be
Authors: Tebben Nicholas
Published: November 2021

Normative inferentialism is a semantic theory according to which the meaning of an expression is, or is determined by, its proper inferential role. Critics of inferentialism often argue that it violates the principle of compositionality, and that it is therefore unable to explain some important linguistic data. I have two tasks in this paper: the first is to demonstrate that inferentialism, appearances perhaps to the contrary, does not violate the principle of compositionality, and the second is to explain why this demonstration is unlikely to mollify critics of inferentialism. The dispute between inferentialists and their critics, I shall argue, is not about compositionality, it is a more fundamental dispute about the nature of representations.
Revisiting Rorty’s Notion of Truth
Authors: Maurya Rahul Kumar
Published: November 2021

This paper is intended to explore the Rorty’s notion of truth and its vicinity and divergences with Putnam’s notion of truth. Rorty and Putnam, both the philosophers have developed their notion of truth against the traditional representational notion of truth but their strength lies in its distinctive characterization. For Putnam, truth is the property of a statement which cannot be lost but the justification of it could be.

I will also examine the importance of Putnam’s idealized justificatory conditions without which he may succumb to the charge of relativism at the same time how does Putnam overcome the tension between metaphysical and relativistic stances of truth. For Rorty, truth is not representational rather it is social, which means the justification for a true belief is not external but internal to the community of believers. I would further examine how Rorty tries to dispel the charge of relativism which is hard to overcome.

Finally, I shall try to defend the concept of truth which is free from metaphysical baggage and relativistic threats; and in this enterprise Rorty walks half the way and Putnam completes the journey.
Productive Bodies, Docile Women and Violence

Published: November 2021

Drawing on the Government of Ireland Collaborative Research Project, ‘Magdalene Institutions: Recording an Archival and Oral History’, this paper explores the nature of women’s experiences in Ireland’s Magdalene laundries though the lens of forced work. I argue that the perceived nature of the work done by the women—productive, respectable, ‘women’s work’—significantly impacted on how the abusive nature of the laundries has been considered by official bodies and wider Irish society. This paper focuses on work done in these institutions and how it was viewed, using interviews from survivors and those who visited the laundries. By exploring the links between work and respectability, productivity and morality, with particular attention to the ways this plays out upon the bodies of women, this article argues for an understanding of this work as a violent and disciplinary process, designed to produce the desired Irish Catholic female body: docile and productive, penitential and obedient.
Might Cooperative Approaches Not Be So Cooperative? Exploring the Potential of Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement to Generate Legal Disputes
Authors: de Lassus St-Geniès Géraud
Published: November 2021

With Article 6.2, the Paris Agreement offers its parties the possibility to engage in cooperative approaches to import mitigation outcomes that have been generated on the territory of another party and use these international transferred mitigation outcomes (itmos) for compliance purposes. While this possibility seems to pave the way to more—and presumably new forms of—climate cooperation outside the UN climate regime, this paper asks whether Article 6.2 is also likely to spark disagreement among states. It is suggested that it bears as much a potential to generate cooperation as to generate conflict. To illustrate that point, the paper explains how Article 6.2 could lead to conflict between developed and developing states over the legality of unilateral restrictions on the admittance of itmos and discusses what such conflict may look like, as well as its possible legal and political implications.

Proverbs and Sayings With Adversative Conjunctions in the Russian Language: Structural and Semantic AspectsProverbs and sayings with adversative conjunctions in the Russian language fall into three categories: mono-, multi- and non-predicative structures. They are built according to various syntactic patterns, which proves that the spontaneity of their appearance in the language is not absolute but relative, as their formation is determined by specific laws of derivation. Russian proverbs and sayings with adversative conjunctions are based on contrast, contradiction and contrary expectation. The stylistic devices used in them, namely rhyme, personification, metaphor, metonymy, simile, gradation, chiasm, serve a number of functions. The structure of proverbs and sayings with adversative conjunctions is stable although their components are subject to morphemic, morphological, syntactic and quantitative variation. There are several synonymous and polysemous units among them, as well. Przysłowia i powiedzenia ze spójnikami przeciwstawnymi w języku rosyjskim. Aspekty strukturalno-semantyczneW języku rosyjskim można wyróżnić trzy kategorie powiedzeń i przysłów ze spójnikami przeciwstawnymi: struktury jedno- i wielopredykatowe oraz konstrukcje bez predykatu; są zbudowane według różnych wzorców składniowych, co dowodzi, że spontaniczność ich pojawiania się w języku nie jest absolutna, lecz względna, ponieważ ich tworzenie podlega określonym zasadom derywacji. Rosyjskie przysłowia i powiedzenia ze spójnikami przeciwstawnymi opierają się na kontraście, sprzeczności i przeciwnych oczekiwaniach. Zastosowane w nich środki stylistyczne – rym, personifikacja, metafora, metonimia, porównanie, gradacja, chiazm – pełnią różne funkcje. Struktura takich powiedzeń i przysłów jest stabilna, pomimo że ich składniki podlegają zmianom morfemicznym, morfologicznym, syntaktycznym i ilościowym. Występują wśród nich również jednostki synonimiczne i polisemiczne.
Assessing the WRF-Solar Model Performance Using Satellite-Derived Irradiance from the National Solar Radiation Database

WRF-Solar is a numerical weather prediction model specifically designed to meet the increasing demand for accurate solar irradiance forecasting. The model provides flexibility in the representation of the aerosol–cloud–radiation processes. This flexibility can be argued to make it more difficult to improve the model’s performance because of the necessity of inspecting different configurations. To alleviate this situation, WRF-Solar has a reference configuration to use as a benchmark in sensitivity experiments. However, the scarcity of high-quality ground observations is a handicap to accurately quantify the model performance. An alternative to ground observations are satellite irradiance retrievals. Herein we analyze the adequacy of the National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB) to validate the WRF-Solar performance using high-quality global horizontal irradiance (GHI) observations across the contiguous United States (CONUS). Based on the sufficient performance of NSRDB, we further analyze the WRF-Solar forecast errors across the CONUS, the growth of the forecasting errors as a function of the lead time, and sensitivities to the grid spacing and the representation of the radiative effects of unresolved clouds. Our results based on WRF-Solar forecasts spanning 2018 reveal a 7% median degradation of the mean absolute error (MAE) from the first to the second daytime period. Reducing the grid spacing from 9 to 3 km leads to a 4% improvement in the MAE, whereas activating the radiative effects of unresolved clouds is desirable over most of the CONUS even at 3 km of grid spacing. A systematic overestimation of the GHI is found. These results illustrate the potential of GHI retrievals to contribute to increasing the WRF-Solar performance.
Modulation of Coupled Modes of Tibetan Plateau Heating and Indian Summer Monsoon on Summer Rainfall over Central Asia

Published: November 2021

It has been suggested that summer rainfall over central Asia (CA) is significantly correlated with the summer thermal distribution of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and the Indian summer monsoon (ISM). However, relatively few studies have investigated their synergistic effects of different distribution. This study documents the significant correlations between precipitation in CA and the diabatic heating of TP and the ISM in summer based on the results of statistical analysis and numerical simulation. Summer precipitation in CA is dominated by two water vapor transport branches from the south that are related to the two primary modes of anomalous diabatic heating distribution contributed by the TP and ISM precipitation, that is, the “+−” dipole mode in the southeastern TP and the Indian subcontinent (IS), and the “+−+” tripole mode in the southeastern TP, the IS, and southern India. Both modes exhibit obvious midlatitude Silk Road pattern (SRP) wave trains with cyclone anomalies over CA, but with different transient and stationary eddies over South Asia. The different locations of anomalous anticyclones over India govern two water vapor transport branches to CA, which are from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. The water vapor flux climbs while being transported northward and can be transported to CA with the cooperation of cyclonic circulation. The convergent water vapor and ascending motion caused by cyclonic anomalies favor the precipitation in CA. Further analysis corroborates the negative south Indian Ocean dipole in February could affect the tripole mode distribution of TP heating and ISM via the atmospheric circulation, water vapor transport, and anomalous Hadley cell circulation. The results indicate a reliable prediction reference for summer precipitation in CA.
A Unified Moisture Mode Theory for the Madden–Julian Oscillation and the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation
Authors: Wang Shuguang , Sobel Adam H.
Published: November 2021

The Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) and the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) are fundamental modes of variability in the tropical atmosphere on the intraseasonal time scale. A linear model, using a moist shallow water equation set on an equatorial beta plane, is developed to provide a unified treatment of the two modes and to understand their growth and propagation over the Indian Ocean. Moisture is assumed to increase linearly with longitude and to decrease quadratically with latitude. Solutions are obtained through linear stability analysis, considering the gravest (n = 1) meridional mode with nonzero meridional velocity. Anomalies in zonal moisture advection and surface fluxes are both proportional to those in zonal wind, but of opposite sign. With observation-based estimates for both effects, the zonal advection dominates, and drives the planetary-scale instability. With a sufficiently small meridional moisture gradient, the horizontal structure exhibits oscillations with latitude and a northwest–southeast horizontal tilt in the Northern Hemisphere, qualitatively resembling the observed BSISO. As the meridional moisture gradient increases, the horizontal tilt decreases and the spatial pattern transforms toward the “swallowtail” structure associated with the MJO, with cyclonic gyres in both hemispheres straddling the equatorial precipitation maximum. These results suggest that the magnitude of the meridional moisture gradient shapes the horizontal structures, leading to the transformation from the BSISO-like tilted horizontal structure to the MJO-like neutral wave structure as the meridional moisture gradient changes with the seasons. The existence and behavior of these intraseasonal modes can be understood as a consequence of phase speed matching between the equatorial mode with zero meridional velocity (analogous to the dry Kelvin wave) and a local off-equatorial component that is characterized by considering an otherwise similar system on an f plane.
