Friction determines whether liquid droplets slide off a solid surface or stick to it. Surface heterogeneity is generally acknowledged as the major cause of increased contact angle hysteresis and contact line friction of droplets. Here we challenge this long-standing premise for chemical heterogeneity at the molecular length scale. By tuning the coverage of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), water contact angles change gradually from about 10° to 110° yet contact angle hysteresis and contact line friction are low for the low-coverage hydrophilic SAMs as well as high-coverage hydrophobic SAMs. Their slipperiness is not expected based on the substantial chemical heterogeneity of the SAMs featuring uncoated areas of the substrate well beyond the size of a water molecule as probed by metal reactants. According to molecular dynamics simulations, the low friction of both low- and high-coverage SAMs originates from the mobility of interfacial water molecules. These findings reveal a yet unknown and counterintuitive mechanism for slipperiness, opening new avenues for enhancing the mobility of droplets.

Plants sense abscisic acid (ABA) using chemical-induced dimerization (CID) modules, including the receptor PYR1 and HAB1, a phosphatase inhibited by ligand-activated PYR1. This system is unique because of the relative ease with which ligand recognition can be reprogrammed. To expand the PYR1 system, we designed an orthogonal ‘*’ module, which harbors a dimer interface salt bridge; X-ray crystallographic, biochemical and in vivo analyses confirm its orthogonality. We used this module to create PYR1*MANDI/HAB1* and PYR1*AZIN/HAB1*, which possess nanomolar sensitivities to their activating ligands mandipropamid and azinphos-ethyl. Experiments in Arabidopsis thaliana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae demonstrate the sensitive detection of banned organophosphate contaminants using living biosensors and the construction of multi-input/output genetic circuits. Our new modules enable ligand-programmable multi-channel CID systems for plant and eukaryotic synthetic biology that can empower new plant-based and microbe-based sensing modalities.
1-km resolution rebound surfaces and paleotopography of glaciated North America since the Last Glacial Maximum
Authors: Godbout Pierre-Marc , Brouard Etienne , Roy Martin
Published: October 2023

We present a series of 1-km spatial resolution rebound (isobase) surfaces based on publicly distributed predictions obtained from the glacio-isostatic adjustment models known as ICE-5G (VM2 L90), ICE-6G_C (VM5a) and ICE-7G_NA (VM7). Our objective is to provide readily accessible tools for a broad range of geological and paleoenvironmental studies, and to facilitate direct comparison between models’ predictions and field-based observations. Rebound surfaces were interpolated at the scale of North American ice sheets (35.5°-89.5°N; 45°-165°W) and for each time increment of the models (1,000-500 yrs, between 26,000-21,000 yrs BP and present-day). The assessment of the interpolations indicates that the rebound surfaces have an overall vertical accuracy of ∼0.4 m compared to original ICE-xG outputs. These rebound surfaces were combined with the GEBCO 2021 present-day elevation grid to reconstruct the paleotopography for each time increment of the models and are all presented as raster files that can be easily integrated into geographical information systems. The resulting datasets therefore provide a unique support for geological, paleoenvironmental and archeological studies.

Long bone fractures are a concern in long-duration exploration missions (LDEM) where crew autonomy will exceed the current Low Earth Orbit paradigm. Current crew selection assumptions require extensive complete training and competency testing prior to flight for off-nominal situations. Analogue astronauts (n = 6) can be quickly trained to address a single fracture pattern and then competently perform the repair procedure. An easy-to-use external fixation (EZExFix) was employed to repair artificial tibial shaft fractures during an inhabited mission at the Mars Desert Research Station (Utah, USA). Bone repair safety zones were respected (23/24), participants achieved 79.2% repair success, and median completion time was 50.04 min. Just-in-time training in-mission was sufficient to become autonomous without pre-mission medical/surgical/mechanical education, regardless of learning conditions (p > 0.05). Similar techniques could be used in LDEM to increase astronauts’ autonomy in traumatic injury treatment and lower skill competency requirements used in crew selection.
Screen time, impulsivity, neuropsychological functions and their relationship to growth in adolescent attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms

Published: October 2023

Previous longitudinal studies found significant associations between screen time and increase in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, but the mechanisms mediating this association remain understudied. Thus, we used data from a 5-year population-based longitudinal cohort of nearly 4000 Canadian high school students, modeled using multivariate multilevel mediation, to investigate the association of screen time (i.e., social media, television, video games, computer use) with ADHD symptoms via different potential behavioral and neuropsychological mediators (i.e. impulsivity, response inhibition, working memory). We studied direct and indirect between-person, concurrent within-person, and lagged-within-person effects of screens on ADHD symptoms. Results showed that increases in screen time in a given year were associated with an exacerbation of ADHD symptoms within that same year (within-person association), over and above potential common vulnerability (between-person association). Impulsivity proved to be the most robust mediator in the association of screen time with ADHD symptoms at both between and within-person levels. Only social media use displayed a significant lagged-within-person association with ADHD symptoms mediated by impulsivity, indicating an enduring influence on behavior, which was further shown to be mediated by chained changes in response inhibition on a Go/No-Go task. These findings provide clinical implications of screen time and should be an important focus in the management and prevention of ADHD symptoms among adolescents.

Published: October 2023

It is important to predict the neurological prognoses of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients immediately after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) to make further critical management. The aim of this study was to confirm the usefulness of the Cardiac Arrest Survival Post-Resuscitation In-hospital (CASPRI) and Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) scores for predicting the IHCA immediately after the ROSC. This is a retrospective analysis of patient data from a tertiary general hospital located in South Korea. A total of 488 adult patients who had IHCA and achieved sustained ROSC from September 2016 to August 2021 were analyzed to compare effectiveness of the CASPRI and GO-FAR scores related to neurologic prognosis. The primary outcome was Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score at discharge, defined as a CPC score of 1 or 2. The secondary outcomes were survival-to-discharge and normal neurological status or minimal neurological damage at discharge. Of the 488 included patients, 85 (20.8%) were discharged with good prognoses (CPC score of 1 or 2). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of CASPRI score for the prediction of a good neurological outcome was 0.75 (95% CI 0.69–0.81), whereas that of GO-FAR score was 0.67 (95% CI 0.60–0.73). The results of this study show that these scoring systems can be used for timely and satisfactory prediction of the neurological prognoses of IHCA patients after ROSC.

Physiological stress levels in response to sexual behavior stigma among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States (US) are understudied. The current study aims to explore the relationship between sexual behavior stigma and salivary cortisol both overall and stratified by race/ethnicity. If such an association exists, it may suggest that sexual behavior stigma can be physiologically measured or indicated by the presence of heightened salivary cortisol. A subsample of 667 MSM participants from the 2019 American Men’s Internet Survey (AMIS; N = 10,129) submitted morning (AM) and evening (PM) saliva cortisol samples using at-home mail-in collection kits. Average daily cortisol and daily cortisol change were calculated; simple linear regressions estimated associations between cortisol measures and sexual behavior stigma characterized in four different ways (ever and recent experience of individual stigma items; average ever and recent experience of three stigma scales: stigma from family and friends, anticipated healthcare stigma, general social stigma). Participants reported a mean age of 36.0 years (SD = 14.9), with most being non-Hispanic white (n = 480, 72.0%), Hispanic (n = 164, 12.3%), or Black/African American (n = 146, 10.9%), and identified as homosexual/gay (n = 562, 84.3%). Reporting ever experiencing healthcare providers gossiping was significantly associated with higher PM cortisol (β = 0.12, p = 0.001) and higher average daily cortisol (β = 0.11, p = 0.004), while reporting ever experiencing police refusing to protect was associated with higher AM cortisol (β = 0.08, p = 0.03) and higher average daily cortisol (β = 0.09, p = 0.02). Recent experiences of stigma were not significant predictors of any measure of cortisol. Measures of salivary cortisol may be used to characterize sexual behavior stigma among MSM populations, however more insight is needed to determine its exact relationship and strength.

Published: October 2023

Our GWAS of hematuria in the UK Biobank identified 6 loci, some of which overlap with loci for albuminuria suggesting pleiotropy. Since clinical syndromes are often defined by combinations of traits, generating a combined phenotype can improve power to detect loci influencing multiple characteristics. Thus the composite trait of hematuria and albuminuria was chosen to enrich for glomerular pathologies. Cases had both hematuria defined by ICD codes and albuminuria defined as uACR > 3 mg/mmol. Controls had neither an ICD code for hematuria nor an uACR > 3 mg/mmol. 2429 cases and 343,509 controls from the UK Biobank were included. eGFR was lower in cases compared to controls, with the exception of the comparison in females using CKD-EPI after age adjustment. Variants at 4 loci met genome-wide significance with the following nearest genes: COL4A4, TRIM27, ETV1 and CUBN. TRIM27 is part of the extended MHC locus. All loci with the exception of ETV1 were replicated in the Geisinger MyCode cohort. The previous GWAS of hematuria reported COL4A3-COL4A4 variants and HLA-B*0801 within MHC, which is in linkage disequilibrium with the TRIM27 variant (D′ = 0.59). TRIM27 is highly expressed in the tubules. Additional loci included a coding sequence variant in CUBN (p.Ala2914Val, MAF = 0.014 (A), p = 3.29E−8, OR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.61–2.72). Overall, GWAS for the composite trait of hematuria and albuminuria identified 4 loci, 2 of which were not previously identified in a GWAS of hematuria.

Published: October 2023

This paper presents an approach for achieving full optical photoacoustic imaging with enhanced resolution utilizing speckle pattern analysis. The proposed technique involves projecting patterns derived from binary masks corresponding to orthogonal functions onto the target to elicit a photoacoustic signal. The resulting signal is then recorded using a high-speed camera and analyzed using correlation analysis of the speckle motion. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of this optical approach to achieve imaging with enhanced resolution without the need for physical contact with the target, opening up new possibilities for non-invasive medical imaging and other applications.
Direct administration of human leucocyte antigen (dHLA) molecules into tumour sites: proposal for a new immunotherapy for cancer
Authors: Georgopoulos Apostolos P. , James Lisa M.
Published: October 2023

Natural elimination of cancer cells is mediated by human leucocyte antigen (HLA) Class I and II molecules [1] that bind to tumour protein fragments, move to the tumour cell surface and engage CD8+ lymphocytes for killing the tumour cell (HLA Class I) and CD4+ lymphocytes for antibody production against the tumour cell (HLA Class II). HLA Class I molecules are present in all nucleated cells, whereas Class II molecules are present only in antigen presenting cells, such as macrophages. These defence mechanisms are suppressed by tumour cells; this tumour-induced immunosuppression is partly reversed by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), thus allowing the HLA-based tumour elimination to be active again; indeed, the success of ICI therapy partly depends on the HLA makeup of the recipient [2, 3]. Here, we propose a novel cancer immunotherapy consisting of administering the mRNA blueprints for the synthesis of specific HLA Class I molecules with high binding affinity and high immunogenicity to a tumour’s neoantigens. This should maximise the effectiveness of HLA-mediated tumour elimination.

Learning to Read Strengthens Functional Connectivity Between the Ventral Occipitotemporal Cortex and the Superior Temporal Gyrus During an Auditory Phonological Awareness Task
Authors: Wang Jin , Joanisse Marc F. , Booth James R.
Published: October 2023

Purpose:

It is often assumed that phonological awareness only reflects children's phonological skill. However, orthographic representations have been found to be automatically involved during phonological awareness tasks, which we refer to as automatic orthographic activation. Although previous longitudinal neural studies have addressed how phonological processing during phonological awareness tasks is bidirectionally related to reading skill in developing children, we do not know how automatic orthographic activation plays a role in reading skill.

Method:

To address this gap, we measured 40 children's reading skill and brain activity during an auditory phonological task at two time points using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Children were 5.5 to 6.5 years old at the first time point and were followed up approximately 1.5 years later when they were 7 to 8 years old.

Results:

We found that earlier reading skill predicted children's later functional connectivity during onset processing between the left superior temporal gyrus, a phonological region, and the left posterior ventral occipitotemporal cortex, an orthographic region representing letters.

Conclusion:

This finding, together with previous studies, suggests that learning to read influences phonological awareness not only by refining phonological representations but also via strengthening the automatic mapping between phonemes and letters during spoken language processing.

Thermodynamical Modeling of Multiphase Flow System with Surface Tension and Flow
Authors: Koba Hajime
Published: October 2023

We consider the governing equations for the motion of the viscous fluids in two moving domains and an evolving surface from both energetic and thermodynamic points of view. We make mathematical models for multiphase flow with surface flow by our energetic variational and thermodynamic approaches. More precisely, we apply our energy densities, the first law of thermodynamics, and the law of conservation of total energy to derive our multiphase flow system with surface tension and flow. We study the conservative forms and conservation laws of our system by using the surface transport theorem and integration by parts. Moreover, we investigate the enthalpy, the entropy, the Helmholtz free energy, and the Gibbs free energy of our model by applying the thermodynamic identity. The key idea of deriving surface tension and viscosities is to make use of both the first law of thermodynamics and our energy densities.
Chromosome analysis and the occurrence of B chromosomes in fish parasite Acanthocephalus anguillae (Palaeacanthocephala: Echinorhynchida)
Authors: Orosová Martina , Marková Anna , Zrzavá Magda , Marec František , Oros Mikuláš
Published: October 2023

The cytogenetics of Acanthocephala is a neglected area in the study of this group of endoparasites. Chromosome number and/or karyotypes are known for only 12 of the 1,270 described species, and molecular cytogenetic data are limited to rDNA mapping in two species. The standard karyological technique and mapping of 18S rRNA and H3 histone genes on the chromosomes of Acanthocephalus anguillae individuals from three populations, one of which originated from the unfavorable environmental conditions of the Zemplínska Šírava reservoir in eastern Slovakia, were applied for the first time. All specimens had 2n = 7/8 (male/female); n = 1m + 1m-sm + 1a + 1a (X). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed three loci of 18S rDNA on two autosomes and dispersion of H3 histone genes on all autosomes and the X chromosome. In addition to the standard A chromosome set, 34% of specimens from Zemplínska Šírava possessed a small acrocentric B chromosome, which was always found to be univalent, with no pairing observed between the B chromosome and the A complement. The B chromosome had a small amount of heterochromatin in the centromeric and telomeric regions of the chromosomal arms and showed two clusters of H3 genes. It is well known that an environment permanently polluted with chemicals leads to an increased incidence of chromosomal rearrangements. As a possible scenario for the B chromosome origin, we propose chromosomal breaks due to the mutagenic effect of pollutants in the aquatic environment. The results are discussed in comparison with previous chromosome data from Echinorhynchida species.
The Dilemmas of Universal Value and the Possible Solutions
Authors: Wan Jiayi
Published: October 2023

The concept “universal value”, as one of the most fundamental concepts in Western political discourses, occupies an important place in present international politics. These concepts originated from specific historical contexts and can only be applied to these specific historical contexts. These concepts also play a role in the formation of the modern nation state. However, it should be noted that the origins of these concepts are one-sided and derived from some territorial religious thoughts or the cultural movements of certain regions. With the evolution of the international situation, the core concepts are distorted and fixed, carrying intense political purposes. The transformation of ethnic spirits, the increasingly intense international relationships, and the exchanges of world cultures, all of these factors get in the way of the development of these concepts. Present universal values can not satisfy the needs of international society and even bring conflicts and wars to international society in some extreme cases. All of these phenomena raise considerable concerns about the degree of stability in the international relationship structure and the benign development of globalization. Developing universal values is a challenging task, but it is also likely to be the key to unlocking a whole new international situation.

This article will begin with the analysis of the origin of universal value, its development process, and its practical application, following with further research on the actual cases to investigate which dilemma the universal values are stuck in and the concrete reasons behind it. From there it is expected to find the solutions or paths to these problems. The definition of universal value needs to be further clarified, and the content of universal value needs to be carefully considered and set. It is also important to apply all of these discussions to political governance properly. At the same time, it should be mentioned that exploring the concept of universal value should not only pay attention to its own values, but also to the way it is manifested in global orders. Only in this way can the stability of the international relationships be strengthened through the “universal value”, which will eventually create good conditions for the realization of the overall development of humankind.

Research on the influence of house price to income ratio on female fertility intention and countermeasures – Research proof based on stata
Authors: Xiang Luo
Published: October 2023

Low fertility rates are accelerating the aging of populations around the world. Developed countries experienced demographic shifts in the 20th century. Many developed countries are aging because of improved medical care, longer life expectancy and declining fertility rates. In the past decade or so, China has not escaped the impact of an aging population. The increase of the elderly population has brought great challenges to the social security system, so the aging problem in China deserves our attention. As we all know, the factors that affect people’s fertility willingness are various, such as economic constraints, social and cultural influences, and traditional family concepts. In China, high housing prices, an important part of economic factors, are increasingly becoming an important constraint for urban population fertility decisions. Based on the data analysis of stata, this paper studies the impact of housing price on women’s reproductive intention from 2015 to 2022. Through data analysis, it is concluded that housing price has a negative impact on women’s reproductive intention in inverse proportion.

National ideological security is one of the important contents of the overall national security concept. As a tendency and development trend of thought, social ideological trends reflect people’s certain interests and demands in specific environments, and have a broad impact on people’s thoughts in social life. However, the current world is complex and ever-changing, and contemporary China is also in a "unprecedented great transformation", which determines the long-term coexistence of various ideological trends, especially the mixed social ideological trends of neoliberalism, historical nihilism, democratic socialism, and universal values, challenging the mainstream ideological status of Marxism. In this context, it is particularly important to play the guiding role of Marxism as the mainstream ideology. Adhering to the mainstream ideology of Marxism is conducive to strengthening the Party’s leadership in ideological work, resisting the negative effects of other social trends, and better maintaining national ideological security.

The Influence of Advertising Language on Adolescents’ Consumption Perspectives from the Perspective of Behavioral Economics
Authors: Wu Nianhe
Published: October 2023

Advertising leverages linguistic concepts and metaphorical techniques to enhance the persuasiveness and expressiveness of products. In the current era of widespread electronic devices and online shopping platforms, advertising exerts an unprecedented influence on consumer behavior, particularly among adolescents at the peak of their cognitive development. Adolescents are more susceptible to the impact of advertising language due to their unique psychological characteristics. This paper combines theories such as behavioral economics and mental accounts to analyze the underlying causes of irrational consumption behavior among adolescents within the context of China’s distinct mental account structure. The study aims to examine the influence of different advertising approaches on adolescents’ consumption attitudes from a social-psychological perspective. Additionally, it proposes reform policy recommendations, including strengthening government regulation, enhancing educational guidance, promoting social governance, and conducting empirical research, to contribute to the creation of a civilized and harmonious developmental environment for adolescents.

Authors: Qing Ren
Published: October 2023

Since Trump’s “Indo-Pacific Strategy” was formally unveiled in 2017, the South Korean government’s perspective has undergone a dramatic shift. From being “very cautious” in the early years of the Moon Jae-in administration to “gradually approaching” in the latter years, to the Korean Indo-Pacific Strategy’s release immediately following Yoon Seok-yeol’s assumption of office to benchmark with the United States, which has raised concerns on all sides, this essay explores the domestic and external factors that have affected South Korea’s perception of the Indo-Pacific Strategy. On the domestic front, the primary drivers are rooted in economic interests and diplomatic considerations, with political party competition exerting a significant influence. On the international level, the continuous change in the situation in Northeast Asia and the pressure from the US have also compelled South Korea to seek more influence through the Indo-Pacific policy.

Introduction Adolescents with cochlear implants may have difficulty developing language and memory abilities.

Objective The primary objectives of this study are (1) to evaluate the language skills and verbal working memory performance of early and late diagnosed-intervened cochlear implanted adolescents and (2) to investigate the relationship between the verbal working memory and phonemic analysis skills in adolescents with cochlear implant.

Methods This study included 72 participants with cochlear implant aged between 10 and 18 years. The participants were divided into two groups; those who had first hearing aid at the age of 6 months at the latest and had a first cochlear implant in at least one ear at the latest at 24 months were included in the early group, all the others were in the late group. The phonemic analysis test, a subtest of the test of language development: Primary, 4th edition (TOLD: P-4) – Turkish version, was used to assess language-based abilities, and the meaningless word repetition (MWR) test was utilized to assess verbal working memory.

Results The adolescents with cochlear implants who received early diagnosis and intervention performed statistically significantly better in phonemic analysis scores and verbal working memory tests (p < 0.001). A statistically significant relationship was found between phonemic analysis and verbal working memory skills (Pearson, r = 0.567 and r = 0.659, p < 0.001).

Conclusions Rehabilitation of phonological skills can contribute to the development of verbal working memory in adolescents with cochlear implants. There is a need for further studies on this issue with more detailed tests.
