Bevacizumab for Cerebral Radionecrosis: A Single-Center Experience
Authors: Climans Seth A. , Ramos Ronald C. , Jablonska Paola A. , Shultz David B. , Mason Warren P.
Published: May 2022

Background:

Cerebral radionecrosis, a subacute or late effect of radiotherapy, can be debilitating and difficult to treat. Steroids can reduce symptoms, but have significant long-term side effects. Bevacizumab has been shown to reduce edema and other radiologic features associated with radionecrosis and improve patient symptoms. We report our experience using bevacizumab for cerebral radionecrosis.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients treated at our institution with bevacizumab for non-glioma-associated cerebral radionecrosis. We recorded change in symptoms, change in steroids, change in performance status, time to tumor progression, and time to death. We delineated the volume of necrosis pre- and post-bevacizumab on T1-post-gadolinium and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI scans.

Results:

We identified 15 patients, 8 with brain metastases, 6 with meningioma, and 1 with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Most received four doses of bevacizumab, 7.5 mg/kg q 3 weeks × 4 doses. Neuroimaging demonstrated a reduced T1 gadolinium-enhancing volume and edema in 14/15 patients (the average reduction in T1-post-gadolinium volume was 3.0 cm3, and average reduction in FLAIR volume was 27.9 cm3). There was no appreciable change in patient performance status. Steroid doses decreased in five of nine patients. There was a high rate (26%) of adverse events, including pulmonary embolism, stroke, and wound dehiscence. The median progression-free survival was 6.5 months.

Conclusion:

Although bevacizumab is commonly prescribed for cerebral radionecrosis, in our retrospective cohort, the clinical benefits were modest and there was significant toxicity.

Published: May 2022

All disasters are local but implementing a hyperlocal response in the midst of a public health emergency is challenging. The availability of neighborhood-level qualitative data that are both timely and relevant to evolving objectives and operations is a limiting factor. In 2020, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) responded to the COVID-19 emergency using a novel, hyperlocal approach. Key to the implementation of this approach was the creation of the Community Assessment to Inform Rapid Response (CAIRR), a process for rapid collection and analysis of neighborhood-specific, objective-focused, qualitative data to inform tailored response operations. This paper describes the process of developing the CAIRR and its contribution to the NYC DOHMH’s hyperlocal response in order to guide other jurisdictions seeking to employ a hyperlocal approach in future disaster responses.
WHO SAID THERE WAS ACLASSIC OF MUSIC?
Authors: Waring Luke
Published: May 2022

For almost a thousand years, Chinese scholars have debated the existence of aClassic of Musicin pre-Qin times. Some say the text once existed but was later lost; others say it was incorporated into other works, or that it only existed as a collection of musical scores. Some say it never existed at all. Though Western scholars have tended to sidestep the issue, most have at least assumed that it wasbelievedduring Han that a music classic had once existed.

Not only is there no convincing evidence that a music classic existed during the Warring States era, however, few if any in the Han believed that it had. Indeed, the first claims that aClassic of Musichad once existed emerged only in the latter part of the Six Dynasties era. This article will introduce the debates that have animated scholars on this controversy, examine the evidence for the existence of a pre-Qin music classic, and identify when Chinese scholars came to believe that such a text had once existed. I will argue that the belief that a classic music text had previously been extant reflects early medieval misunderstandings of the role occupied by written texts in antiquity.
Group Lies and the Narrative Constraint
Authors: Hormio Säde
Published: May 2022

A group is lying when it makes a statement that it believes to be untrue but wants the addressee(s) to believe. But how can we distinguish statements that the group believes to be untrue from honest group statements based on mistaken beliefs or confusion within the group? I will suggest a narrative constraint for honest group statements, made up of two components. Narrative coherence requires that a new group statement should not conflict with group knowledge on the matter, or beliefs of relevant operative subgroups, unless a coherent rationale is given. Narrative intention looks at the process of gathering new evidence on the area of expertise of the group and requires that the group position behind the statement is formed in good faith. The narrative constraint will help to distinguish group lies from more innocent erroneous statements of group beliefs when there is an internal disagreement within the group, including in cases involving spokespersons.
The space is primary for 1 < p < ∞
Authors: Lechner Richard , Motakis Pavlos , Müller Paul F.X. , Schlumprecht Thomas
Published: May 2022

The classical Banach space

$L_1(L_p)$

consists of measurable scalar functions f on the unit square for which

$$ \begin{align*}\|f\| = \int_0^1\Big(\int_0^1 |f(x,y)|^p dy\Big)^{1/p}dx < \infty.\end{align*} $$

We show that

$L_1(L_p) (1 < p < \infty )$

is primary, meaning that whenever

$L_1(L_p) = E\oplus F$

, where E and F are closed subspaces of

$L_1(L_p)$

, then either E or F is isomorphic to

$L_1(L_p)$

. More generally, we show that

$L_1(X)$

is primary for a large class of rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces.
The Changing Prioritization of Environmental Protection in Britain: 1982–2019
Authors: Kenny John
Published: May 2022

This article examines the evolution of long-term trends in the prioritization of environmental protection in Britain over a period of four decades. It does so by compiling comparable questions tapping into the same underlying environmental dimension from a range of sources, including historical polling data that has only recently been made available to the research community. At the aggregate level, prioritization largely tracks changing economic conditions as well as key environmental events, with the winter of 2019 showing the highest recorded levels. Furthermore, trends in individuals' willingness to prioritize the environment may not always go in tandem with trends in environmental salience. At the individual level, educational attainment is the only consistently significant demographic correlate over time. However, there is evidence of increasing politicization of the environment, with left–right orientations only becoming an important correlate of environmental prioritization in recent years, in line with rising divergence on the issue at the elite level.
Retraction of thin films coated by insoluble surfactants
Authors: De Corato Marco , Tammaro Daniele , Maffettone Pier Luca , Fueyo Norberto
Published: May 2022

We investigate the retraction of a circular thin film coated with insoluble surfactants, which is punctured at its centre. We assume that the surface pressure of the liquid–gas interface is related to the number density of surfactants through a linear equation of state, which is characterized by a single parameter: the Gibbs dilation modulus. To solve the governing equations and track the deformation of the domain, we use the finite element method with an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian approach where the film surface is sharp. Our simulations show that the surface elasticity introduced by the surfactants slows down the retraction and introduces oscillations at early times. In agreement with previous experiments and theoretical analysis, we find that the presence of surfactants introduces perturbations of the film thickness over progressively larger distances as the surface elasticity increases. The surface perturbations travel faster than the retracting edge of the film at a speed proportional to the Gibbs modulus. For large values of the Gibbs modulus, the interface behaviour approaches that of an incompressible two-dimensional solid. Our analysis sheds light on the effect of insoluble surfactants on the opening of a circular hole in a thin film and can be extended to investigate the onset of surface cracks and fractures.
How #NiUnaMenos Used Discourse and Digital Media to Reach the Masses in Argentina
Authors: Bedrosian Alyssa
Published: May 2022

In March 2015, a group of feminist writers and academics in Argentina organized a marathon reading event to protest femicide, using the slogan “Ni Una Menos.” Less than three months later, more than 250,000 Argentines participated in the first #NiUnaMenos demonstration in Buenos Aires. Since then, #NiUnaMenos has transformed into a transnational feminist movement and has shifted the conversation about gender violence in digital and physical spaces. Drawing from critical discourse analysis and feminist theory, this article examines the discursive strategies employed by #NiUnaMenos. It analyzes key texts from the months leading up to the first demonstration and argues that these texts were strategically constructed as “sites of struggle” in order to reach diverse groups. The analysis reveals four discursive dichotomies in which the movement’s discourse oscillates between seemingly opposing ideas and channels. This discursive oscillation allowed #NiUnaMenos to reach the masses and, in turn, spark a cultural shift toward gender equality.
Limitaciones y posibilidades del recuerdo victimista en el Perú posconflicto: Una lectura del documentalTempestad en los Andes(2014) de Mikael Wiström
Authors: Bolo-Varela Oswaldo
Published: May 2022

Este artículo analiza las representaciones centradas en la víctima del conflicto armado interno peruano que propone el documentalTempestad en los Andes(2014), de Mikael Wiström. A partir de este objeto cultural, se examinan las limitaciones y posibilidades que presenta la memoria victimista en el posconflicto peruano. El análisis parte de los significados contrapuestos que el filme articula para Augusta La Torre (líder de Sendero Luminoso) y Claudio Gonzales (estudiante universitario desaparecido). Por un lado, se reflexiona sobre el posicionamiento reconciliador que esta película sostiene en torno a la búsqueda de una víctima neutral merecedora de compasión, la reconstitución de un supuesto mundo andino devastado por la guerra y el énfasis identificatorio con el sufrimiento padecido. Esta interpretación del pasado reciente fuerza una reconciliación (un perdón normalizante) que no permite comprender las complejidades surgidas y, por el contrario, las sutura en vías de alcanzar una cura y unificación del cuerpo social fragmentado con la guerra. Sin embargo, por otro lado, también se analizan las posibilidades de reconocimiento, esas renegociaciones y apropiaciones que suceden desde los márgenes de este proyecto audiovisual: una reivindicación, breve pero real, que intenta reparar el olvido.
Rewilding memory
Authors: Reading Anna
Published: May 2022

Rewilding memory provides the basis for a new theoretical and practical agenda to bring greater neurological human diversity and ecological diversity into research and teaching on memory, mind and media. The article develops the concept of ‘more-than-human-memory’ to refer to the co-construction of memories between diverse humans and the environment. The article draws on research that examined a transmedia corpus of 40 neurodivergent memory works (life writing, memoirs, autobiographical art, blogs and videos). It found that memory works by autistic people consistently remember the self in terms of the co-composition of human memories through and with the media and matter of environmental memories. The article explores the ways in which some autistic people's memory works decentre human memories through deep ecological memory, conversations with vibrant objects and memories of animating energies. The research suggests that such memories ‘rewild’ or eco-neuroqueer the human-centred and normatively biased assumptions of memory, mind and media that underpin psychology, philosophy of mind, media and memory studies. It contributes a new angle to research that addresses the dialogical relationship between what Barnier and Hoskins (2018) have termed ‘memory in the mind’ and ‘memory in the wild’. It also goes beyond extended mind theory that understands human memory as enhanced and extended through non-biological tools and suggests the significance to memory of the more-than-human living world. Importantly, it highlights connections between autistic more-than-human-memories and the conceptualisation and practices associated with the more-than-human in research shaped by eco-psychology, Indigenous Studies and Environmental Humanities.
Enabling the Creative Performance of Indian IT Employees Through Their Voice: The Mediating Role of Psychosocial Prosperity
Authors: Prince R. , Rao M. Kameshwar
Published: May 2022

Organizations largely depend on their employees’ creativity to attain a competitive advantage. Drawing on Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) theory, this study examines whether employees’ voice behavior (promotive and prohibitive) can be harnessed to improve their creative performance. By exploring the mediating role of psychosocial prosperity and moderating effects of employees’ perception of their influence at work and their feelings of alienation, this study offers a unique model that enhances the literature on voice and creativity. Data collected from 285 Information Technology professionals in India reveals that both forms of voice lead to creative performance, and psychosocial prosperity mediates this positive relationship. This finding offers different insight for scholars as much of the voice literature expects prohibitive voice to yield negative results for the employee because of its associated risks. Also, employees’ perceived influence at work strengthens the positive effect of promotive voice on psychosocial prosperity, while alienation weakens the relationship between psychosocial prosperity and creativity performance. The study concludes by discussing the implications, limitations, and directions for future researchers.
SELMER GROUPS OF ELLIPTIC CURVES OVER THE EXTENSION
Authors: RAY JISHNU , SUJATHA R.
Published: May 2022

Iwasawa theory of elliptic curves over noncommutative
$GL(2)$
extension has been a fruitful area of research. Over such a noncommutative p-adic Lie extension, there exists a structure theorem providing the structure of the dual Selmer groups for elliptic curves in terms of reflexive ideals in the Iwasawa algebra. The central object of this article is to study Iwasawa theory over the
$PGL(2)$
extension and connect it with Iwasawa theory over the
$GL(2)$
extension, deriving consequences to the structure theorem when the reflexive ideal is the augmentation ideal of the center. We also show how the dual Selmer group over the
$GL(2)$
extension being torsion is related with that of the
$PGL(2)$
extension.
Certified Amplification: An Emerging Scientific Norm and Ethos
Authors: Lee Carole J.
Published: May 2022

Merton envisioned his norms of science at a time when peer-reviewed journals controlled scientific communication. Technologies for sharing and finding content have since divorced the certification and amplification of science, generating systemic vulnerabilities. Certified amplification—a new Mertonian-styled norm—enjoins their recoupling and introduces a taxonomy of strategies adopted by institutions to close the certification-amplification gap, including the proportioning of the one to the other. Examples illustrating each taxonomic type collectively paint a picture of an ethos employing a rich range of certification and amplification techniques and emerging in a decentralized fashion across heterogeneous objects, communication modalities, and institutions.
What FiveThirtyEight Can Teach Us about Solving the Replication Crisis
Authors: Holman Bennett
Published: May 2022

Numerous philosophers of science have argued that the incentive structure of science is a major contributor to the replication crisis. In this article I review FiveThirtyEight’s election forecasting model and show that it confronts similar problems in political polling and successfully mitigates them, not by changing the incentives, but by weighting a pollster’s effect on the model by their past reliability. I argue that a similar weighting procedure holds a promising approach to addressing the replication crisis in science.
Holocene water levels of Silver Lake, Montana, and the hydroclimate history of the Inland Northwest
Authors: Parish Meredith C. , Wolf Kyra D. , Higuera Philip E. , Shuman Bryan N.
Published: May 2022

The wettest portion of the interior of western North America centers on the mountainous region spanning western Montana, Idaho, British Columbia, and Alberta. Inland ranges there capture the remnants of Pacific storms. Steep east–west hydroclimate gradients make the region sensitive to changes in inland-penetrating moisture that may have varied greatly during the Holocene. To investigate potential hydroclimate change, we produced a 7600-yr lake-level reconstruction from Silver Lake, located on the Montana–Idaho border. Ground-penetrating radar profiles and a transect of four shallow-water sediment cores that were dated using radiocarbon dating and tephrachronology revealed substantial changes in moisture through time. An organic-rich mud unit indicating wet and similar to modern conditions prior to 7000 cal yr BP is overlain by an erosional surface signifying drier than modern conditions from 7000–2800 cal yr BP. A subsequent time-transgressive increase in water levels from 2800–2300 cal yr BP is indicated by a layer of late Holocene muds, and is consistent with glacier expansion and increases in the abundance of mesic tree taxa in the region. Millennial-scale trends were likely driven by variations in orbital-scale forcing during the Holocene, but the regional outcomes probably depended upon factors such as the strength of the Aleutian Low, Pacific sea-surface temperature variability, and the frequency of atmospheric rivers over western North America.
Jacques Fournier and the Poverty Controversy: New Evidence from a Neglected Gospel Commentary
Authors: BUENO IRENE
Published: May 2022

The Franciscan doctrine of absolute poverty became one of the most controversial matters under discussion in the 1320s. Even after John XXII's poverty decrees, it did not cease attracting the attention of prominent theorists. This article examines the so-far neglected contribution by the key theologian of the Avignon court and future pope, Jacques Fournier (c.1285–1342). His monumental Matthew commentary contains a lengthy discussion of evangelical poverty. Comparing this text with various counsels drafted for the pope, this article brings to light Fournier's stance on poverty, placing it within the debates held at Avignon during the conflict between John XXII and Ludwig the Bavarian.
Pseudocorynosoma enrietti (Molfi & Freitas Fernandes, 1953) (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) from Patagonia (Argentina): life cycle, localities, and new host records
Authors: Rauque C. , Flores V. , Semenas L.
Published: May 2022

All Pseudocorynosoma species inhabit freshwater environments of the American continent, but little is known about their life cycles. We report Pseudocorynosoma enrietti (Molfi & Freitas Fernandes, 1953) from natural and experimental specimens in Patagonia and identify the intermediate and definitive hosts of its life cycle for the first time in South America. Adult worms were recovered from Anas platyrhynchos (Linnaeus) and from a new definitive host, Coscoroba coscoroba Molina. Naturally infected amphipods, Hyalella patagonica Ortmann, were collected to obtain cystacanths that were fed to Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus) and Anas platyrhynchos. Specimens of P. enrietti are described in detail using light and scanning electron microscopy. A key to species of the genus Pseudocorynosoma is included. Worms are characterized in both sexes by fore-trunk spines, and genital spines in an isolated field. The proboscis has 19–20 hook rows; males have 9–11 (10) hooks per row and females 7–9 (8). Males with four cement glands similar in size. Eggs elongated, with filaments. Experimental male and female worms were recovered from A. platyrhynchos at seven and 14 days, post-infection.
Everyday rehearsal of death and the dilemmas of dying in super-ageing Japan
Authors: Kim Heekyoung
Published: May 2022

In recent years, a new trend of performing a ‘good death’ has swept Japanese society. Popular, especially among the elderly, shūkatsu (終活) refers to the phenomenon of preparing for one's own demise through various practices, in particular, the writing of an ‘ending note (エンディングノート)’. A will designates the beneficiaries of one's estate or property after one's passing, whereas an ending note not only includes financial and legal matters, it goes far beyond that. It contains provisions for the deceased-to-be's end-of-life treatments, such as hospice care, as well as explicit instructions for seemingly mundane details such as the guest list, flower arrangements, and casket for one's funeral. This trend of engaging in shūkatsu can be viewed as a part of the biopolitics of a super-ageing Japanese society in which the elderly are now expected to manage all aspects of their own lives—including the disposal of their bodily remains when they pass away. Yet, as this anthropologically informed analysis discloses, such biopolitics also gives rise to a new set of ethical dilemmas for the elderly and their families, constituting a new form of politics of life and death. Indeed, rejecting the neoliberal injunction to efficiently separate death from life, many elderly try to recover—and resituate—death within the social and ethical realm of the living.

Published: May 2022

We used citizen science and inexpensive methodology to assess the distribution of the jungle catFelis chaus, a relatively common species in Sri Lanka but the least studied of the four wild cat species occurring in the country. We obtained three types of records of the jungle cat: geo-referenced photographs of the species from the public; sightings obtained from print and social media, and provided via an online sighting form; and sightings by field biologists. We combined the 112 unique records obtained in this way with the 21 records from the 2012 National Red List distribution map of the species, and usedMaxEntto predict habitat suitability for the species. The new sightings were primarily in drier regions, expanding the known extent of occurrence for this species in Sri Lanka. Of the new sightings, 7.1% were road kills. Distance to nearest riverine forest, annual precipitation and distance to the nearest reservoir were the most important variables explaining habitat suitability. These findings validate our hypotheses that the species is more widespread than demonstrated previously and also ranges in human-dominated landscapes outside protected areas. Our study provides a model for how ecological and behavioural information for common species can be obtained inexpensively and incorporated into species distribution models. Studies of species such as the jungle cat, which are neither threatened nor charismatic, will help ensure that we keep common species common.

Published: May 2022

Background

Psychiatric hospitalization is a major driver of cost in the treatment of schizophrenia. Here, we asked whether a technology-enhanced approach to relapse prevention could reduce days spent in a hospital after discharge.

Methods

The Improving Care and Reducing Cost (ICRC) study was a quasi-experimental clinical trial in outpatients with schizophrenia conducted between 26 February 2013 and 17 April 2015 at 10 different sites in the USA in an outpatient setting. Patients were between 18 and 60 years old with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or psychotic disorder not otherwise specified. Patients received usual care or a technology-enhanced relapse prevention program during a 6-month period after discharge. The health technology program included in-person, individualized relapse prevention planning with treatments delivered via smartphones and computers, as well as a web-based prescriber decision support program. The main outcome measure was days spent in a psychiatric hospital during 6 months after discharge.

Results

The study included 462 patients, of which 438 had complete baseline data and were thus used for propensity matching and analysis. Control participants (N = 89; 37 females) were enrolled first and received usual care for relapse prevention followed by 349 participants (128 females) who received technology-enhanced relapse prevention. During 6-month follow-up, 43% of control and 24% of intervention participants were hospitalized (χ2 = 11.76, p<0.001). Days of hospitalization were reduced by 5 days (mean days: b = −4.58, 95% CI −9.03 to −0.13, p = 0.044) in the intervention condition compared to control.

Conclusions

These results suggest that technology-enhanced relapse prevention is an effective and feasible way to reduce rehospitalization days among patients with schizophrenia.
Conviction Narrative Theory: A theory of choice under radical uncertainty
Authors: Johnson Samuel G. B. , Bilovich Avri , Tuckett David
Published: May 2022

Conviction Narrative Theory (CNT) is a theory of choice underradical uncertainty– situations where outcomes cannot be enumerated and probabilities cannot be assigned. Whereas most theories of choice assume that people rely on (potentially biased) probabilistic judgments, such theories cannot account for adaptive decision-making when probabilities cannot be assigned. CNT proposes that people usenarratives– structured representations of causal, temporal, analogical, and valence relationships – rather than probabilities, as the currency of thought that unifies our sense-making and decision-making faculties. According to CNT, narratives arise from the interplay between individual cognition and the social environment, with reasoners adopting a narrative that feels “right” to explain the available data; using that narrative to imagine plausible futures; and affectively evaluating those imagined futures to make a choice. Evidence from many areas of the cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences supports this basic model, including lab experiments, interview studies, and econometric analyses. We identify 12 propositions to explain how the mental representations (narratives) interact with four inter-related processes (explanation, simulation, affective evaluation, and communication), examining the theoretical and empirical basis for each. We conclude by discussing how CNT can provide a common vocabulary for researchers studying everyday choices across areas of the decision sciences.
Reinvigorating American Political Development Scholarship through Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
Authors: Ramanathan Kumar
Published: May 2022

Recent events have augured a renewed urgency among political scientists to address the instability of democracy and the structure of racism in the United States. In this article, I make the case for American political development (APD) scholars to engage more deeply with Black Reconstruction in America (1935), W. E. B. Du Bois's masterful study of political development during the Reconstruction Era. This rich text, which analyzes an often overlooked period in the APD literature, offers numerous contributions that can reinvigorate our analyses of democracy and racism in the United States.

Published: May 2022

Early adolescents (ages 10–14) living in low- and middle-income countries have heightened vulnerability to psychosocial risks, but available evidence from these settings is limited. This study used data from the Global Early Adolescent Study to characterize prototypical patterns of emotional and behavioral problems among 10,437 early adolescents (51% female) living in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Malawi, Indonesia, and China, and explore the extent to which these patterns varied by country and sex. LCA was used to identify and classify patterns of emotional and behavioral problems separately by country. Within each country, measurement invariance by sex was evaluated. LCA supported a four-class solution in DRC, Malawi, and Indonesia, and a three-class solution in China. Across countries, early adolescents fell into the following subgroups: Well-Adjusted (40–62%), Emotional Problems (14–29%), Behavioral Problems (15–22%; not present in China), and Maladjusted (4–15%). Despite the consistency of these patterns, there were notable contextual differences. Further, tests of measurement invariance indicated that the prevalence and nature of these classes differed by sex. Findings can be used to support the tailoring of interventions targeting psychosocial adjustment, and suggest that such programs may have utility across diverse cross-national settings.
Illuminating the origins of the intergenerational transmission of psychopathology with a novel genetically informed design
Authors: Burt S. Alexandra , Clark D. Angus , Neiderhiser Jenae M.
Published: May 2022

Although it is well known that parental depression is transmitted within families across generations, the etiology of this transmission remains unclear. Our goal was to develop a novel study design capable of explicitly examining the etiologic sources of intergenerational transmission. We specifically leveraged naturally-occurring variations in genetic relatedness between parents and their adolescent children in the 720 families participating in the Nonshared Environment in Adolescent Development (NEAD) study, 58.5% of which included a rearing stepparent (nearly always a stepfather). Results pointed squarely to the environmental transmission of psychopathology between fathers and children. Paternal depression was associated with adolescent depression and adolescent behavior problems (i.e., antisocial behavior, headstrong behavior, and attention problems) regardless of whether or not fathers and their children were genetically related. Moreover, these associations persisted to a subset of “blended” families in which the father was biologically related to one participating child but not to the other, and appeared to be mediated via father–child conflict. Such findings are not only fully consistent with the environmental transmission of psychopathology across generations, but also add to extant evidence that parent–child conflict is a robust and at least partially environmental predictor of adolescent psychopathology.
The UK landscape evaluation movement (1965–85)
Authors: Carlsson Moa
Published: May 2022

Tracing developments in British town and country planning during the 1960s and 1970s, this article describes the sudden upsurge of landscape evaluation method-development among landscape architects and planners, and the disputes that made such efforts come to an end in the late 1970s. In this burst of activity, here referred to as the UK landscape evaluation movement, we can observe competing definitions of visual amenity and landscape quality take form. It is described how practitioners invented or adopted numerical measurement and preference methods as means to gain a supposedly unbiased understanding of how different landscape areas are valued by communities. Struggling to make themselves heard in a planning sector that was dominated by more powerful stakeholders and quantitative approaches (for example, cost-benefit analysis), in the landscape evaluation movement we can also witness how pioneering practitioners adopt advanced statistical techniques and computer mapping to communicate qualitative values of landscape more effectively to each other, communities and decision-makers. These were deliberate attempts by the practitioners to occupy a more active and influential role in landscape and country planning during the period. As this article shows, their success in this regard was limited due to the lack of general agreement with respect to the reliability, validity and generalisability of both assessment methods and produced findings.
Improved lower bound for the list chromatic number of graphs with no Kt minor
Authors: Steiner Raphael
Published: May 2022

Hadwiger’s conjecture asserts that every graph without a
$K_t$
-minor is
$(t-1)$
-colourable. It is known that the exact version of Hadwiger’s conjecture does not extend to list colouring, but it has been conjectured by Kawarabayashi and Mohar (2007) that there exists a constant
$c$
such that every graph with no
$K_t$
-minor has list chromatic number at most
$ct$
. More specifically, they also conjectured that this holds for
$c=\frac{3}{2}$
.

Refuting the latter conjecture, we show that the maximum list chromatic number of graphs with no
$K_t$
-minor is at least
$(2-o(1))t$
, and hence
$c \ge 2$
in the above conjecture is necessary. This improves the previous best lower bound by Barát, Joret and Wood (2011), who proved that
$c \ge \frac{4}{3}$
. Our lower-bound examples are obtained via the probabilistic method.
Evaluation of postoperative renal functions and its effect on body perfusion in patients with double aortic cannulation
Authors: Tan Recep Berra Zumrut , Tongut Aybala , Hatemi Ali Can , Tuncer Eylem , Yilmaz Abdullah Arif , Ceyran Hakan
Published: May 2022

Background:

The optimal visceral preservation method during aortic arch reconstruction is still controversial. It has been thought that double aortic cannulation is effective. Herein, it was aimed to evaluate this technique in providing distal perfusion.

Methods:

A total of 74 patients who underwent arch reconstruction between 2011 and 2019 were included. Patients were grouped according to ventricular physiology and cannulation strategies. Group 1 were univentricle patients, and all had double aortic cannulation. Group 2 were biventricular patients. Group 2A double aortic cannulation-done and Group 2B non-double aortic cannulation were included. Lactate, urea, creatinine values, renal functions, and need for peritoneal dialysis of patients were evaluated.

Results:

There were no complications observed due to descending aortic cannulation in any of the patients. A delayed sternal closure and the need for peritoneal dialysis were more common in the Group 1 (p < 0.01). The preoperative and postoperative 1st- and 2nd-day lactate, urea, and creatinine values in the Group 1 were higher (p < 0.05) when compared with the Group 2A and 2B. The same values were higher in Group 2A than the Group 2B (p < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The positive effect of double aortic cannulation on renal dysfunction could not be demonstrated. This may be associated with a <1 month of age, low weight, complex surgical procedure, and high preoperative lactate, urea, and creatinine values in patients with double aortic cannulation.
Phrasal verbs in Early Modern English spoken language: a colloquialization conspiracy?
Authors: RODRÍGUEZ-PUENTE PAULA , OBAYA-CUELI MARÍA

Phrasal verbs (e.g.fade away,give up) tend to be associated with spoken, colloquial registers, not only in Present-day English, but also in previous stages of the language. This view has recently been challenged by Thim's (2006a, 2012) ‘colloquialization conspiracy’, according to which the idea that phrasal verbs are colloquial is based on a misconception which first arose in the eighteenth century. In the current study we seek to verify Thim's claim by exploring phrasal verbs inA Corpus of English Dialogues 1560–1760, a 1.2-million-word corpus of Early Modern English (EModE) speech-related text types. Based on a sample of over 7,000 examples, we demonstrate that the linguistic features, distribution and high productivity of phrasal verbs in the EModE period point towards a full entrenchment of these combinations in the spoken language, which leads us to the conclusion that the colloquial status of phrasal verbs in EModE is not merely a matter of a ‘colloquialization conspiracy’.
“Dear Professor”: Exploring Lay Comments to Milton Friedman
Authors: Cottier Maurice
Published: May 2022

While previous research on the rise of neoliberalism has focused on elite networks of economists, politicians, journalists, and business leaders, this article investigates the attractiveness of Milton Friedman's ideas at the time of the neoliberal breakthrough from a bottom-up perspective. A close reading of mostly favorable letters by two hundred viewers in response to the 1980 television documentary series Free to Choose indicates that neoliberalism's popular legitimacy was based on a broad yet fragile coalition. Four different and in many ways contradictory viewer narratives can be distilled from the letters: (i) a conservative narrative, (ii) a reactionary narrative, (iii) a left libertarian narrative, and (iv) a populist narrative. Although in 1980 Friedman was, and today still is, perceived as a conservative economist, the letters show that under the surface of public debate his reach as a public intellectual far exceeded the realms of postwar conservatism as Friedman was supported by people who were situated further to the right and the left. Perhaps more than the elite sources of the neoliberal project, Friedman's lay reception thus highlights neoliberalism's complex and contradictory history in a plastic manner.
Four- and five-body periodic Caledonian orbits
Authors: Chopovda Valerie , Sweatman Winston L.
Published: May 2022

We consider four- and five-body problems with symmetrical masses (Caledonian problems). Families of periodic orbits originate from the collinear Schubart orbits. We present and discuss some of these periodic orbits.
Secular dynamics in extrasolar systems with two planets in mutually inclined orbits
Authors: Mastroianni Rita , Efthymiopoulos Christos
Published: May 2022

We revisit the problem of the secular dynamics in two-planet systems in which the planetary orbits exhibit a high value of the mutual inclination. We propose a ‘basic hamiltonian model’ for secular dynamics, parameterized in terms of the system’s Angular Momentum Deficit (AMD). The secular Hamiltonian can be obtained in closed form, using multipole expansions in powers of the distance ratio between the planets, or in the usual Laplace-Lagrange form. The main features of the phase space (number and stability of periodic orbits, bifurcations from the main apsidal corotation resonances, Kozai resonance etc.) can all be recovered by choosing the corresponding terms in the ‘basic Hamiltonian’. Applications include the semi-analytical determination of the actual orbital state of the system using Hamiltonian normalization techniques. An example is discussed referring to the system of two outermost planets of the ν-Andromedae system.
Dynamical constraints on the evolution of the inner asteroid belt and the sources of meteorites
Authors: Dermott Stanley F. , Li Dan , Christou Apostolos A.
Published: May 2022

We have shown that in the inner belt the loss of asteroids from the ν6 secular resonance and the 3:1 Jovian mean motion resonance accounts for the observation that the mean size of the asteroids increases with increasing orbital inclination. We have used that observation to constrain the Yarkovsky loss timescale and to show that the family asteroids are embedded in a background population of old ghost families. We argue that all the asteroids in the inner belt originated from a small number of asteroids and that the initial mass of the belt was similar to that of the present belt. We also show that the observed size frequency distribution of the Vesta asteroid family was determined by the action of Yarkovsky forces, and that the age of this family is comparable to the age of the solar system.

Published: May 2022

Currently, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) searches for Earth-size planets around nearby dwarf stars. To identify specific weak variations in the light curves of stars, sophisticated data processing methods and analysis of the light curve shapes should be developed and applied. We report some preliminary results of our project to find and identify minima in the light curves of stars collected by TESS and stored in the MAST (Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes) database. We developed Python code to process the short-cadence (2-min) TESS PDCSAP (Pre-search Data Conditioning Simple Aperture Photometry) light curves. Our code allows us to create test samples to apply machine learning methods to classify minima in the light curves taking into account their morphological signatures. Our approach will be used to find and analyze some sporadic events in the observed light curves originating from transits of comet-like bodies.

We present the developed methods of digitization, image processing, reduction, and scientific data mining with the latest reference catalogs, which allowed us to obtain a good positional and photometric accuracy in B-band of 6,500 asteroids down to 17.5m from the Ukrainian Virtual Observatory database of astroplates. The archive includes FON-Kyiv, FON-Kitab, FON-Dushanbe sky surveys (1981–1996) and astroplates of the Baldone and Tautenburg observatories. For some of asteroids, observations are either completely absent or not enough over the certain time interval to the moments of their official discoveries (about 300 such objects were found). Positional observations during these time scales are highly useful for a more detailed study of the dynamics and orbital parameters of asteroids as well as the obtained photometric parameters are very complementary with present-day data for studying changes in brightness and light curves.
The semi-analytical motion theory of the third order in planetary masses for the Sun – Jupiter – Saturn – Uranus –Neptune’s system
Authors: Perminov Alexander , Kuznetsov Eduard
Published: May 2022

The averaged four-planetary motion theory is constructed up to the third order in planetary masses. The equations of motion in averaged elements are numerically integrated for the Solar system’s giant planets for different initial conditions. The comparison of obtained results with the direct numerical integration of Newtonian equations of motion shows an excellent agreement with them. It suggests that this motion theory is constructed correctly. So, we can use this theory to investigate the dynamical evolution of various extrasolar planetary systems with moderate orbital eccentricities and inclinations.
Multiple bifurcations around 433 Eros with Harmonic Balance Method
Authors: Nicolas Leclère , Gaëtan Kerschen , Lamberto Dell’Elce
Published: May 2022

The objective of this paper is to carry out periodic orbital propagation and bifurcations detection around asteroid 433 Eros. Specifically, we propose to exploit a frequency-domain method, the harmonic balance method, as an efficient alternative to the usual time integration. The stability and bifurcations of the periodic orbits are also assessed thanks to the Floquet exponents. Numerous periodic orbits are found with various periods and shapes. Different bifurcations, including period doubling, tangent, real saddle and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations, are encountered during the continuation process. Resonance phenomena are highlighted as well.
Latitudinal variations of charged dust in co-orbital resonance with Jupiter
Authors: Reiter Stefanie , Lhotka Christoph
Published: May 2022

The interplanetary magnetic field may cause large amplitude changes in the orbital inclinations of charged dust particles. In order to study this effect in the case of dust grains moving in 1:1 mean motion resonance with planet Jupiter, a simplified semi-analytical model is developed to reduce the full dynamics of the system to the terms containing the information of the secular evolution dominated by the Lorentz force. It was found that while the planet causes variations in all orbital elements, the influence of the magnetic field most heavily impacts the long-term evolution of the inclination and the longitude of the ascending node. The simplified secular-resonant model recreates the oscillations in these parameters very well in comparison to the full solution, despite neglecting the influence of the magnetic field on the other orbital parameters.
STRONG HOMOMORPHISMS, CATEGORY THEORY, AND SEMANTIC PARADOX
Authors: WOLFGRAM JONATHAN , COOK ROY T.
Published: May 2022

In this essay we introduce a new tool for studying the patterns of sentential reference within the framework introduced in [2] and known as the language of paradox
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf {P}}$
: strong
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf {P}}$
-homomorphisms. In particular, we show that (i) strong
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf {P}}$
-homomorphisms between
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf {P}}$
constructions preserve paradoxicality, (ii) many (but not all) earlier results regarding the paradoxicality of
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf {P}}$
constructions can be recast as special cases of our central result regarding strong
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf {P}}$
-homomorphisms, and (iii) that we can use strong
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf { P}}$
-homomorphisms to provide a simple demonstration of the paradoxical nature of a well-known paradox that has not received much attention in this context: the McGee paradox. In addition, along the way we will highlight how strong
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf {P}}$
-homomorphisms highlight novel connections between the graph-theoretic analyses of paradoxes mobilized in the
$\mathcal {L}_{\mathsf {P}}$
framework and the methods and tools of category theory.
