تظهر التربة القابلة للانهيار بالإضافة إلى الانواع الأساسية الأخرى التي تسبب مشاكل مثل التربة الانتفاخية والتربة العضوية، والمعروفة باسم التربة ذات المشاكل، قوة كبيرة عندما تجف ولكنها تتعرض لفقدان كبير في القوة عندما تكون مشبعة، مما يؤدي إلى هطول مفرط. إن توقع استجابة التربة للفيضانات والانهيارات الأرضية أو المستوطنات الكبيرة يمثل تحديًا هندسيا في هذه الأنواع من التربة. حيث يحدث الانخفاض الدائم في حجم التربة القابلة للانهيار بسرعة وبشكل غير متوقع، مما يجعل من الصعب تنفيذ التدابير بمجرد بدء المشكلة. تتضاعف احتمالية الانهيار بمرور الوقت بسبب النقع والترشيح، والذي يحدث في المقام الأول بسبب ذوبان الجبس وغسله. وتعتبر التربة الجبسية من أكثر أنواع التربة قابلية للانهيار التي تتأثر بالعوامل الجيوتقنية مثل التحميل والترطيب وكثافة التربة وظروف التشبع. تهدف هذه الورقة إلى تقديم دراسة مراجعة حول تعريف التربة المنهارة وتصنيفها وتحسينها وتصميم الاسس فيها وتخفيف الانهيار.

Introduction. Aortic aneurysm is characterized by aortic diameter expansion by 1.5 or more times and can lead to dissection and rupture of the aortic wall with fatal consequences. The aim of the study was to compare changes in the morphology of the ascending aorta wall in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves (BAV and TAV, respectively) having an aortic aneurysm. Materials and methods. We examined biopsies of the ascending aorta with an aneurysm in 49 patients with BAV and 99 patients with TAV. Results. The diameter of the ascending aorta was 51.0±9.1 mm in patients with BAV and that in individuals with TAV was 54.6±11.5 mm. Morphometric study of aortic wall layers demonstrated a significant thickening of the intima (71.7±52.3 and 143.5±148.1 μm, respectively) and adventitia of the aorta (595.9±253.9 and 801.3±388.6 μm, respectively) [p<0.05], while the thickness of the media was almost the same (1127.0±246.9 and 1177.9±268.32 μm, respectively). Changes in the aortic media (fragmentation of elastic membranes, disruption of the parallel arrangement of smooth muscle cells, and density of vasa vasorum) were significantly less frequent in patients with BAV. Patients with BAV required surgery at a younger age than those with TAV, although they showed less pronounced signs of remodeling of aortic intima and media. Conclusion. Patients with BAV necessitate surgery when having less pronounced changes in the morphology of the ascending aortic wall. Construction of a stereometric model of histological changes in the aortic wall in an aortic aneurysm will allow us to quantitatively represent the role of key morphological characteristics, simplify pathological diagnosis, and optimize surgical management for patients with BAV.

Introduction. Pulmonary fibrosis is a serious lung disease with high risks of mortality and functional impairments. The model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rodents is one of the most common and frequently used models. Complex methods for analyzing dewaxed tissues enable us to obtain valuable information about morphological, microstructural, and chemical changes in tissues using the existing material, i.e., without conducting separate studies. The purpose of this paper was to identify characteristic morphological changes in a model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, the medication being administered intratracheally, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in deparaffinized lung samples. Materials and methods. The experiment includedmale Wistar rats weighing 200–250 g, in which pulmonary fibrosis was modeled by intratracheal administration of bleomycin. After 28 days, the lungs were fixed with perfusion of a 4% solution of neutral buffered formalin through the vena cava until cardiac arrest. The samples were further fixed with 10% buffered formalin for 36 hours, plunged into alcohols, and embedded in paraffin. For SEM, thick 250-μm sections were deparaffinized in xylene and alcohol, saturated with hexamethyldisilazane, and air-dried. After gold sputtering, the samples were viewed and photographed under a JCM-7000 benchtop electron microscope. Results. Light microscopy revealed signs of fibrosis in the lungs of all experimental rats. The fibrosis was local. We distinguished three types of structural changes: 1) slight structural differences from the control animals, 2) inflammation with initial signs of collagen formation, and 3) areas with complete fibrosis. Conclusion. The use of SEM in analyzing thick sections significantly expands the possibilities of studying the lungs in such pathologies as fibrosis and allows one to examine high-resolution surface ultrastructures and identify various inclusions that cause pathological changes seen with X-ray microanalysis. This approach is simple, fast, and low-cost to prepare samples for SEM using existing paraffin blocks and provides more detailed structural information about the development of pulmonary fibrosis.

Authors: Beloghi Cristhoper , Bullock James M
Published: November 2024

Farmers in Pennsylvania face a significant obstacle in the form of slug insect management. Aims of this study to determine impact of using cover crop against slug attacks in Pennsylvania. This study collaborated with a Pennsylvania regional no-till farming unit to assign three treatments to each farmer: no crop cover (CA), plastic mulch cover (CP), green rye cereal cover (CRH), and dry rye cereal cover (CRK). The experiment was carried out in May – August in 2023. The use of rye cereal cover crops, both in green and dry form, can also have the potential to reduce slug pests. These plants provide shelter and breeding ground for natural enemies of slugs. Plant residue mulching in conservation farming practices provide an effective and sustainable slug pest management strategy. The use of rye cereal can be a reference for farmers in anticipating slug pests in an environmentally friendly manner.

Introduction: Afterlives in objects
Authors: Walton Jeremy F. , Ilengiz Çiçek
Published: November 2024

In this introduction to our edited volume, Material Afterlives, we specify the interventions andarguments of our collection as a whole. To begin, we reflect on the recent proliferation of“afterlives” as a concept and metaphor within the social sciences and humanities, a developmentthat we describe as the “new hauntology.” As we argue, this new hauntology favors thesubjective rather than objective aspects of afterlives and consequently neglects questions ofmateriality. The overarching goal of Material Afterlives is to remedy this neglect. Followingthis, we examine the contributions and limitations of the concepts of ruin/ruination andwaste to the investigation of material afterlives. While the concepts of ruin and waste presupposea decrease in value in the face of time and change of function, material afterlives, by contrast,accentuate the proliferation of enhanced and unanticipated material values. We thenenumerate the implications of our consideration of material afterlives for Memory Studiesbroadly, with particular emphasis on how material afterlives unsettle the orienting role oftrauma in the discipline. Finally, we briefly outline the five specific contributions that constituteour volume.
Adaptive Deep Learning-Based Framework for Ransomware Detection through Progressive Feature Isolation
Authors: Sladkova Polina , Berger Samuel , Skoglund Zachary , Sorensen Lawrence
Published: November 2024

The rise of ransomware presents an escalating threat across sectors, disrupting systems and compromising sensitive data through sophisticated attack strategies that continuously adapt to detection technologies. Addressing this dynamic threat, the Adaptive Progressive Feature Isolation (APFI) framework introduces a novel, layered approach to ransomware detection, isolating unique behavioral indicators with increased precision and resource efficiency. Through a progressive feature isolation process, APFI systematically identifies ransomware-specific patterns across distinct analytical stages, enabling early identification of high-risk behaviors while filtering benign applications. This structure achieves enhanced accuracy in detection and reduced false positive rates, outperforming conventional models that rely on static signatures or limited behavioral analysis. Moreover, APFI’s adaptive threshold adjustments and deep learning components reduce computational demands, enabling real-time application in diverse network environments without compromising scalability or reliability. Experimental evaluations confirm APFI’s ability to differentiate ransomware with a high degree of accuracy, low latency, and operational robustness, demonstrating its value as an advanced solution in automated cybersecurity.
Female house ownership drives the positive association between matriliny and women’s health in Meghalaya (India)
Authors: Lamarque Loïa , LANGSTIEH BANRIDA THERESA , Raymond Michel , Alvergne Alex
Published: November 2024

Matrilineal kinship, which traces descent through the mother's lineage, has been shown to have health benefits for both women and children, but the specific practices by which matriliny enhances female health outcomes remain unclear. In this study, we analysed the 2015 Demographic and Health Survey data from Meghalaya, India (4,109 women, 809 men, 3,197 children), a region where matrilineal and non-matrilineal communities coexist with a mixed combination of post-marital residence and inheritance transmission. We considered three practices usually associated with matrilineal systems (i) female house ownership, (ii) matrilocal post-marital residence and (iii) daughter-biased investment. We find no evidence for daughter-biased parental investment in medical care nor improved health with spatial proximity with kin. Instead, we demonstrate that female (vs. male) ownership correlates with substantial health benefits for women, including reduced risks of being anemic (OR = 0.72, SE = 0.093, p<0.001) and underweight (OR = 0.59, SE = 0.135, p<0.001), a benefit which extend to men, albeit to a lesser extent, and children. Boys and girls living in households owned by women are more likely to receive medical care when sick (+ 200%). The associations between female house ownership and better health outcomes remain after adjusting for age, wealth disparities, geographical area, fertility, or time since last birth. This results strongly suggest that female economic empowerment surpasses other matrilineal dimensions in improving health outcomes, providing novel insights to bridge the gender health gap.
Afterword: From patrimonialization to the post-imperial uncanny
Authors: Walton Jeremy F.
Published: November 2024

This afterword interrogates the conceptual and political limitations of patrimonializationin order to foster appreciation for what I call the ‘post-imperial uncanny’,while also providing a loose review of the preceding chapters. To begin, I discuss the ‘doublemovement’ of patrimonialization as both a revitalization of neglected histories and amatter of capitalizing on the past for present aims. I then consider dynamics of how nationalismand Orientalism have shaped post-Ottoman patrimonialization in referenceto the volume’s contributions. Following this, I focus on the role of experts in determiningthe definitions of patrimony and the projects of heritagization that the authors delineate.Finally, I situate patrimonialization in relation to its inverse, ruination, before concludingwith a call to consider other post-imperial temporalities, encapsulated by the conceptof the post-imperial uncanny.
Facial attractiveness increases the likelihood of choosing a psychotherapist, irrespective of sexual preferences and perceived trustworthiness
Authors: Olivera-LaRosa Antonio , Ansani Alessandro , VIOLA Marco , Marini Marco
Published: November 2024

Existing research suggests that a psychotherapist's physical attractiveness can shape patients’ initial evaluation. However, less is known about how facial attractiveness affects the decision to select one psychotherapist over another prior to therapy. In this study (N = 108), conducted with a Spanish-speaking sample, we examined whether facial attractiveness influenced the likelihood of choosing a psychotherapist and whether this effect was moderated by sexual differences. The experimental design closely replicated an online professional therapist directory to enhance ecological validity. Results demonstrated that psychotherapists with attractive facial features were chosen more frequently, even when perceived trustworthiness and competence were controlled for. No significant differences were observed between profiles featuring unattractive faces and those with no profile picture. Crucially, neither the therapist's nor the patient's gender and sexual preferences moderated the observed effect. The findings suggest that the preference for attractiveness in therapist selection is not driven by mating intentions nor by a "halo effect" related to trustworthiness or competence. Practical implications for therapist selection and patient decision-making are discussed.
The dead wait: Material afterlives in sepulchral spaces
Authors: Walton Jeremy F.
Published: November 2024

This essay examines the heterotopic and heterochronic material afterlives of cemeteries through acomparative focus on two cities of the dead: Zagreb’s Mirogoj Cemetery, which was establishedduring the late 19th century, and Thessaloniki’s Zeitenlik World War I Military Cemetery, whichentombs Allied victims from the Salonika Front. My principal aim is to highlight the contrasts andcontradictions between nationalized collective memories and unsettling imperial legacies thatdefine the material afterlives of each of these cemeteries. In Mirogoj, material afterlives takeshape as a palimpsest of eras, only some of which are monumentalized as collective memories.In Zeitenlik, the material afterlife of a single event of death-dealing, the Great War, constitutesan archive of bygone imperial socialities that defy the homogenizing logics of national identity inthe present.
A Minimally Bound Causal Framework to Reconcile Quantum Nondeterminism and Relativity
Authors: Bastien Gaspard
Published: November 2024

This paper presents an openly conceptual interpretation of the universe that binds quantum nondeterminism to relativity in a strictly causal framework. By deriving intrinsic properties like space, time and causality, this framework offers a coherent way to model fundamental field interactions from any frame of reference, and to express gravity without the requirements of a curved spacetime. An insightful interpretation of electromagnetic radiation and its implications with motion, relativity and time if offered, paving the way to reconciling gravity with the peculiar requirements of the uncertainty principle. A global map of field interactions is outlined, allowing further discussing outstanding quantum and gravitational phenomena from an electromagnetic standpoint.

In the introduction to the volume Contours of Change: A Decade of Transformative Inquiry at CAS SEE, I consider theories of violence and historicity as a frame to the collection as a whole. In particular, I adapt Walter Benjamin's critique of violence as a means in order to shed light on the representational violence that often targets the Balkans as a region. I then briefly summarize each of the contributions .

This case study, a collaborative investigation into the self-assessment of student teachers' self-directed learning in the Battambang Teacher Education College (BTEC) teacher education program, provides valuable insights. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Data was collected through surveys and open-ended questions with 187 BTEC student teachers. The findings revealed that student teachers actively engaged in reflective self-assessment practices, enabling them to identify improvement areas and develop personalized learning strategies. However, limited time, lack of mentorship, and inadequate institutional support could have helped their ability to fully direct their learning. The study provides practical recommendations to BTEC program administrators on enhancing the support and resources offered to student teachers, such as increasing mentorship opportunities and improving institutional support, to promote their autonomous learning and professional development. These recommendations are designed to be actionable and can be implemented to improve the BTEC teacher education program. The collaborative research contributes to the ongoing efforts to improve teacher education and equip future educators to meet the evolving demands of the modern classroom, making the audience feel included and part of the solution.
Synthetic Image Learning: Preserving Performance and Preventing Membership Inference Attacks

Generative artificial intelligence has transformed the generation of synthetic data, providing innovative solutions to challenges like data scarcity and privacy, which are particularly critical in fields such as medicine. However, the effective use of this synthetic data to train high-performance models remains a significant challenge. This paper addresses this issue by introducing Knowledge Recycling (KR), a pipeline designed to optimise the generation and use of synthetic data for training downstream classifiers. At the heart of this pipeline is Generative Knowledge Distillation, the proposed technique that significantly improves the quality and usefulness of the information provided to classifiers through a synthetic dataset regeneration and soft labelling mechanism. The KR pipeline has been tested on a variety of datasets, with a focus on six highly heterogeneous medical image datasets, ranging from retinal images to organ scans. The results show a significant reduction in the performance gap between models trained on real and synthetic data, with models based on synthetic data outperforming those trained on real data in some cases. Furthermore, the resulting models show almost complete immunity to Membership Inference Attacks, manifesting privacy properties missing in models trained with conventional techniques.
Biased Mind or Biased World? Assessing the Accuracy of Cultural Beliefs that Underlie Social Judgments

Societal expectations have been found to determine which social roles people should occupy. However, so far, these beliefs have been mainly explored using implicit measures where expectation-confirming (vs. violating) judgments tend to be more efficient. The present study (N = 44) applied a novel approach – the random generation paradigm – to explore how pre-existing social assumptions determine which information is retrieved from memory when prompted by different social categories. Specifically, we asked participants to imagine people working in certain professions and to say their names out loud. We found that the statistics of the uttered names reflected societal gender stereotypes and environmental statistics of actual people working in these occupations. Importantly, the proportion of female and male names generated for each profession by each participant predicted their performance in a sequential priming task (prime = stereotyped professions, target = female and male faces) better than the environmental statistics or participants’ explicit estimates of gender proportions. Together, these findings offer a new, and widely applicable, method for exploring cultural beliefs and help clarify how social information is sampled from memory when making social judgments.

Background: Thought suppression is suggested as a causal factor in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as it can lead to a paradoxical increase in intrusive thoughts. However, the neural mechanisms through which obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) influence thought suppression, particularly in the context of attentional bias toward negatively valenced stimuli, remain unclear. We hypothesized that OCS would predict increased recruitment of frontal inhibitory neurocircuitry during the suppression of negative words and that this would be mediated by an attentional bias toward these stimuli. Methods: EEG was recorded from 48 non-clinical participants tasked with directed forgetting of negative and neutral words. We examined the influence of OCS on neural correlates of thought suppression, specifically fronto-parahippocampal beta-1 (13-18 Hz) synchronisation and alpha (8-12 Hz) activity in the parahippocampal cortex. The mediating role of attentional bias, measured via the late positive potential (LPP) following word was assessed using a mediated moderation model.Results: OCS predicted enhanced fronto-parahippocampal beta-1 synchronisation when instructed to forget negative words. This effect was mediated by attentional bias to negative stimuli, but only in individuals with higher levels of OCS. Conclusions: Individuals with higher OCS exhibit compensatory engagement of frontal inhibitory mechanisms when attempting to suppress negative emotional stimuli. This compensatory activity is influenced by both attentional bias to negative stimuli and the severity of OCS, highlighting a neural mechanism that may contribute to the persistence of intrusive thoughts in OCD.
Racial Biases in Polygraphs and Their Legal Implications

Increased attention to racial inequities catalyzed a surge in publications documenting racial biases in neuroscience with one recent article in Nature Neuroscience effectively drawing attention to how skin conductance response is less reliably detected for Black individuals than White. In this correspondence, we introduce pressing additional “real world” concerns in how polygraphs heavily rely on this measure. Despite well-documented issues of validity and reliability with polygraphs, they continue to be used in various stages of the legal system. With Black individuals already facing disproportionate incarceration rates, the reduced reliability for skin conductance used in polygraphs for Black individuals can further exacerbate legal system inequity. Furthermore, these biases accentuate existing challenges interpreting polygraph results given their subjectivity as well as the heightened police-related anxiety reported among Black individuals. We join calls for re-evaluation and possibly exclusion of polygraph evidence in legal settings, considering the amplified risks it poses to Black individuals.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is the prototypical nociplastic pain condition, characterized by widespread pain and issues with cognition, mood, and sleep. Currently, there are limited treatment options available that effectively treat FM symptoms. Psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT) is an emerging combined drug-therapy intervention, but no studies to-date have investigated PAT for FM. Here, we report findings from an open-label, proof-of-concept trial of PAT for FM (N=5; NCT05128162). In conjunction with psychotherapy (two preparatory, four integration sessions), participants received two doses of oral psilocybin (15mg and 25mg) delivered two weeks apart. Regarding safety (primary outcome), there were transient elevations of blood pressure or heart rate during dosing which normalized by the end of treatment, with no serious adverse events. Four of five participants reported transient headaches following dosing. Compared to baseline, participants reported clinically meaningful improvements in the following secondary outcomes one month following their second psilocybin dose (reported as Cohen’s d): pain severity (d=-2.1, 95% CI[-3.7 to -0.49]), pain interference (d=-1.8, 95% CI [-3.27 to -0.24]), and sleep disturbance (d=-2.5, 95% CI [-4.21 to -0.75]). Using the Patient Global Impression of Change, one participant reported their symptoms “very much improved,” two reported “much improved,” and two reported “minimally improved.” Compared to baseline, there were improvements in the following exploratory outcomes after the intervention: FM symptoms, anxiety, and fatigue. This small open-label trial preliminarily supports that PAT is well-tolerated by people with FM, establishing a basis for larger randomized controlled trials.
