Published: September 2024

Carmine is an aluminium and/or calcium‐chelated complex form of carminic acid (CA), which is derived from the Dactylopius coccus extract (cochineal), and is globally used as a red‐colourant in foods and cosmetics. Although several allergens in carmine allergies, such as CC38K, have been reported, it remains unknown whether chelation affects the allergenicity of carmine. We report a case of Japanese fish sausage (Gyoniku Sausage) anaphylaxis induced by epicutaneous sensitization to carmine contained in eyeshadows. In addition, we report on the effect of chelation on carmine allergy. A 32‐year‐old woman had experienced itching, wheals, and swelling of her eyelids immediately after applying pink eyeshadows, which contained carmine, on several occasions for 3 years. Two months ago, she developed itching, wheals, and swelling on her whole body, especially her eyelids, and dyspnea immediately after ingesting fried pink fish sausages, which contained cochineal. In skin prick tests (SPTs) with all ingredients ingested in the two episodes of anaphylaxis, only fish sausage was positive. SPT was also positive for carmine. In IgE‐immunoblotting using the eyeshadow and fish sausage, the patient serum IgE was bound to three protein bands at approximately 86, 114, and 130 kDa. In addition, IgE‐immunoblotting using the carmine showed a broad band at 86–130 kDa, which were consistent with those using the eyeshadow and fish sausage, whereas there is no band using CA. Interestingly, the protein bands using the eyeshadow and carmine were diminished by preincubation in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a chelating agent. The results indicated that the causative allergens of carmine contained in the eyeshadows could be dechelated by EDTA, reducing its allergenicity. In conclusion, carmine contained in cosmetics can cause epicutaneous sensitisation and consequently can induce food anaphylaxis. To prevent sensitisation in carmine allergy, the effect of chelation on allergenicity of carmine should be considered.
Symmetry Transformations on the Set of Tensor Products of Rank‐1 Idempotents
Authors: Tian Yulong , Xu Jinli
Published: September 2024

We obtain a characterization of bijective maps preserving the trace of products on the set of tensor products of rank‐1 idempotents, which may be considered as a generalization of Molnár’s Wigner‐type theorem in multipartite systems. The proof is based on the studies in linear preserver problems on tensor products. Moreover, a corresponding result on the finite‐dimensional case is presented.

Authors: Corrêa Radja Ferreira , Abreu Yasmim Clarice Ramos , Garcia Inajá Allane Santos , Silva Annandy Raquel Pereira da
Published: September 2024

O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a relação entre o CEO power e o endividamento das empresas listadas na B3. Para isso, adotou-se como suporte teórico as dimensões do poder de Finkelstein (1992) e utilizou-se um modelo empírico de regressão múltipla, sendo estimadas seis equações conforme as medidas de endividamento. Foram analisadas 346 empresas no período de 2010 a 2021. As dimensões do poder investigadas foram: poder estrutural, de propriedade, de prestígio e especialista. Evidências apontam que o poder estrutural influencia positivamente no endividamento, enquanto CEOs com mais prestígio contribuem para melhorar a imagem da organização. CEOs especialistas financeiros mantêm menor endividamento. Tais evidências contribuem no sentido de facilitar as admissões de CEOs para as empresas e evidenciam aos investidores e potenciais a influência que tais gestores possuem no endividamento das organizações.

Authors: Trindade Ana Carolina dos Reis de Moraes , Silva Odlinari Ramon Nascimento da , Karhawi Issaaf , Bezerra Josenildo Soares
Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo caracterizar a visibilidade midiática dos líderes religiosos contemporâneos em uma sociedade em constante processo de midiatização. Especificamente, observa-se a presença digital do padre Patrick Fernandes no Instagram e no YouTube. O trabalho lança mão de quatro categorias analíticas, a saber: conteúdos multiplataformas e processos de convergência; intimidade e relações de proximidade; mídia tradicional e valor de celebridade; e descentralização da comunicação religiosa. Pelo seu caráter teórico e qualitativo, o trabalho apresenta exemplos considerados significativos pelos autores para relacionar os aspectos teóricos e as observações empíricas realizadas nas redes sociais digitais do padre Patrick. Acreditamos que o padre se insere nos fluxos midiáticos de distintas plataformas, evidenciando um momento em que a convergência não é mais novidade, mas pressuposto nas dinâmicas da midiatização.
Microinterações, religião e comunicação: uma exploração sobre a presença de mensagens religiosas em espaços laicos
Authors: Martino Luis Mauro Sá
Published: September 2024

This study outlines some of the aspects of the relation between communication and religion, focusing on the non-systematic, fragmentary, and ostensive presence of religious messages in everyday secular interactions. It gathers sparse evidence scattered across time and space in the last 25 years as a first attempt to understand how religious communication has appeared in places it had never previously occupied, such as car stickers, pizza flyers, bus signs, tattoos, and everyday non-religious conversations. Grounded on Goffman’s microsociological analysis, connected with Bourdieu’s notions of religious field, habitus, and capital, this study argues that religious ‘microcomunication’ has thrived in places in which institutional religious broad and social media would be unable to reach easily.
Apresentação do Dossiê - Retratos do artista: Chico Buarque, 80 anos
Authors: Santos Daniela Vieira dos , Lacerda Marcos , Garcia Walter
Published: September 2024

The dossier Chico Buarque, 80 Years Old aims to take a critical look at the artist’s work. Seven articles and one review address three fronts of Chico’s work over a career of more than 50 years: popular song, literature (novels and tales) and theater. In the sum of the texts, the plurality of methods and approaches denotes a requirement of the artistic material itself and the relationship it maintains with the Brazilian historical process.
O taiko e os nipo-brasileiros: sons de uma identidade hifenizada
Authors: Rodrigues Flávio
Published: September 2024

Os grupos de taiko, conjuntos percussivos formados pelos milenares tambores japoneses, se popularizaram no Brasil a partir da década de 2000 e se estabeleceram em diversas comunidades nipo-brasileiras, estimulando a formação de grupos musicais que compartilham signos e vivências associados à ideia de japonesidade. Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar a formação de uma identidade hifenizada a partir da prática do taiko, observando alguns de seus desdobramentos e impactos sociais. A investigação se baseia em uma pesquisa bibliográfica e na construção de uma etnografia com observação participante abrangente, baseada na vivência de três anos (2020-2023) de seu autor junto ao grupo Kawasuji Seiryu Daiko de Atibaia, no interior de São Paulo, que abriga uma relevante comunidade de imigrantes e descendentes de japoneses, e de entrevistas realizadas com tocadores. A partir dos relatos experienciados e colhidos em campo, foi possível levantar hipóteses acerca da construção de uma localidade e identidade a partir da prática do taiko através do engajamento de seus participantes e do compartilhamento de aspectos culturais e vivências mútuas. Assim, é possível advogar a favor do taiko como fator fundamental na formação de uma identidade hifenizada, o nipo-brasileiro, que possui laços de pertencimento em constante fluxo, se relacionando, simultaneamente, com duas nações. Além disso, são levantadas questões acerca da formação de um indivíduo nipo-brasileiro sem ligações hereditárias com o arquipélago japonês, discutindo o processo de apropriação através da prática e de escolhas individuais.
“Virá que eu vi”
Authors: Fernandes João Artur Rodrigues
Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, objetiva-se estabelecer uma comparação entre as letras da canção “Um Índio” (1977), de Caetano Veloso, e da releitura “Um Indígena” (2024), de Kaê Guajajara. A partir das noções contemporâneas propostas pela artista e tendo em vista os pensamentos de Ailton Krenak (2019, 2020, 2022), em diálogo com outros intelectuais indígenas brasileiros, como Davi Kopenawa (2015), Taily Terena (2019) e Cristine Takuá (2019), é possível pensar a releitura “Um Indígena” como um instrumento de conscientização, que pode (re)educar os indivíduos acerca das demandas indígenas atuais por meio da música. Ao comparar as duas letras, observa-se uma atualização da mensagem transmitida por Caetano Veloso em 1977 para a atualidade, além de um resgate de raízes apresentado por Kaê Guajajara, que traz, em sua versão, o protagonismo, o ponto de vista e as referências indígenas.
Batuque de nação Ijexá: uma proposta de adaptação para guitarra elétrica
Authors: Brasil André Luís Córdova
Published: September 2024

This paper presents four models of adaptation of toques and prayers from the Batuque of Rio Grande do Sul for the electric guitar, based on the study of elements of tradition and the Yorùbá language present in this religious practice. To achieve this, the author examines the tonal aspects of the language, from which claves, or small rhythmic-melodic fragments that structure the musical practice, are derived and used in adaptations. Each of the four models explores different approaches to adapting the claves for the guitar, based on rhythm, pitch variation, and the possibility of overlapping two claves, presenting transcribed examples and detailing each procedure. This work aims to contribute to the study of the electric guitar, whose origin and systematization are North American, from a perspective of Afro-Brazilian cultural elements, with the intention of expanding the study of this instrument from non-hegemonic perspectives.
Escavando as memórias negras aterradas sob a lama da Manguetown
Authors: Lemos Renato de Lyra
Published: September 2024

The Mangue movement or Manguebeat movement was marked by a cultural upheaval that occurred in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, Pernambuco, during the 1990s, which helped to promote a significant change in the mentality of local youth. As this movement completed 30 years of its initial milestone in 2022, several celebrations were held in Recife, celebrating the people who made this movement happen. However, following everything closely with an attentive eye, the absence of several essential interlocutors to tell this story became evident, not by chance, all black people from the periphery. Thus, this article aims to look at the unofficial history of the Mangue movement, through the narratives of these important black interlocutors who were little by little erased from the hegemonic narratives of the Manguetown.
Meditação e fúria: o free jazz diante das perspectivas políticas antirracistas dos primeiros anos da década 60 e sua “virada ao gueto”
Authors: Souza Caio Francisco Azevedo
Published: September 2024

Nos anos 60, os Estados Unidos da América ainda se encontravam sob um regime racial segregacionista que obliterava as possibilidades reais de inserção da parcela negra da população em suas dinâmicas política, econômica e social, precipuamente com um escalonamento da violência de cariz racista tanto no Sul quanto no Norte. Nesse contexto, as figuras de Martin Luther King Jr. e Malcolm X ganham bastante proeminência enquanto principais líderes políticos dessa população historicamente vilipendiada e excluída. Malcolm X, especialmente, defendia uma ideia bastante original de emancipação negra, preconizando como um de seus fatores fulcrais o florescimento de uma cultura negra revolucionária, dando especial destaque para a realidade racial dos centros urbanos. Contemporâneo a tais debates, o free jazz irrompe, a nosso ver, como uma das principais ramificações espontâneas da ideia de Malcolm por meio de uma insurreição sonora que, ao mesmo tempo em que buscava reinventar-se a partir da tradição aural afro-americana, pretendia aproximar-se da realidade dos guetos urbanos; locus privilegiado das tensões raciais que escalonavam vertiginosamente, muitas vezes resultando no reforço da violência racista pelas próprias autoridades governamentais. Como pretendemos demonstrar, é através do encontro entre o free jazz e a conjuntura racial dos guetos que um engajamento mais profundo dos músicos com uma estética revolucionária ganha forma, se inscrevendo, assim, como um dos mais importantes episódios da imbricação entre estética e política no século XX.

Published: September 2024

By racializing the world, European modernity fragments, classifies and hierarchizes bodies and knowledge, producing colonial processes of extractivism and cultural appropriation marked by the extreme violence that sustains racism and anti-Black logics, which remain active to this day, grounded in a fallacious fiction of white superiority. This supposed superiority invalidates worldviews that do not fit into the exclusive standards of white, modern, Western, and cis-hetero-patriarchal cosmology. The production of musical knowledge is an integral part of this process. On the one hand, it reinforces colonial narratives and the original myths of white superiority, such as the purity of the Greco-Roman heritage or the direct use of enslaved spoils to support musical practices in Europe and colonized territories. On the other hand, the production of musical knowledge has also been a significant factor in the construction of political reorganization processes and the preservation of cultural legacies in the context of the African diaspora and indigenous peoples in the Americas. By keeping their musical traditions alive, inseparable from spiritual, political, ethical, and aesthetic values, these populations have built cultural resistance to the dehumanizing processes of European colonialism.
Work Environment, Burnout, and Intent to Leave Current Job Among Cardiologists and Cardiology Health Care Workers: Results From the National Coping With COVID Survey
Authors: Mallick Sanjoyita , Douglas Pamela S. , Shroff Gautam R. , Karim Rehan , Sullivan Erin , Sinsky Christine , Nankivil Nancy , Shah Purva , Brown Roger , Linzer Mark
Published: September 2024

Background

Little is known about factors contributing to burnout and intent to leave in cardiologists and other cardiology health care workers.

Methods and Results

The Coping With COVID survey assessed work conditions, burnout, and intent to leave among physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and other clinical staff (OCS) from April 2020 to December 2020. Single‐item measures assessed work conditions, burnout (emotional exhaustion), and intent to leave. Multilevel logistic regression examined work life variables' relationships to burnout among role types and feeling valued as a mediator. Open‐ended comments analyzed via grounded theory contributed to a conceptual model. Coping With COVID was completed by 1199 US cardiology health care workers (354 physician/520 nurses/198 advanced practice providers/127 OCS). Nurses were most likely to report burnout (59% nurses, 57% OCS, 46% advanced practice providers, 40% physicians,
P
<0.0001). Workload correlated with burnout in all groups (adjusted odds ratios [aORs], 4.1–17.4;
P
s<0.005), whereas anxiety/depression related to burnout in all except OCS (aORs, 3.9–8.3;
P
s≤0.001). Feeling valued was related to lower burnout in most groups. Intent to leave was common (23%–45%) and was lower in physicians and advanced practice providers who felt valued (aORs, 0.26 and 0.22, respectively;
P
s<0.05). Burnout was highest for nurses in practice 16 to 20 years, and intent to leave was highest for OCS in practice 16 to 20 years. Themes contributing to burnout included personal and patient safety, leadership, and financial issues.

Conclusions

Burnout was prevalent among cardiology health care workers and highest in nurses and OCS. Addressing factors associated with burnout in different role types may improve work life sustainability for all cardiology health care workers.

Published: September 2024

Background

The congenital heart disease (CHD) population is growing and aging. We aim to examine the impact by describing the temporal trend and causes of lifetime hospitalization burden among the CHD population.

Methods and Results

From the Danish National Patient Registry, 23 141 patients with CHD and their hospitalizations from 1977 to 2018 were identified, excluding patients with extracardiac malformation. Patients with CHD were categorized into major CHD and minor CHD, and each patient was matched with 10 controls by sex and year of birth. The rate of all‐cause hospitalization increased over time from 28.3 to 36.4 hospitalizations per 100 person‐years (PY) with rate difference (RD) per decade of 2.5 (95% CI, 2.0–3.1) hospitalizations per 100 PY for the patients with CHD, compared with the increase from 10.8 to 17.0 per 100 PY (RD per decade, 2.0 [95% CI, 1.8–2.2] per 100 PY) for the control group (RD for CHD versus control,
P
=0.08). The all‐cause hospitalization rate remained constant for the major CHDs (RD per decade, −0.2 [95% CI, −1.2 to 0.9] per 100 PY) but increased for the minor CHDs (RD per decade, 5.2 [95% CI, 4.3–6.0] per 100 PY). For all patients with CHD, the cardiovascular hospitalization rate remained constant over time (RD per decade, 0.2 [95% CI, −0.3 to 0.6] per 100 PY) whereas the noncardiovascular hospitalization rate increased (RD per decade, 2.1 [95% CI, 1.6–2.7] per 100 PY). The length of all‐cause hospital stays for all patients with CHD decreased from 2.7 (95% CI, 2.6–2.8) days per PY in 1977 to 1987 to 1.6 (95% CI, 1.6–1.7) days per PY in 2008 to 2018.

Conclusions

Compared with previous decades, patients with CHD have an increasing hospitalization rate, similar to the general population, but a decreasing length of hospital stay. The increase in hospitalization rate was driven by noncardiovascular hospitalizations, with the patients with minor CHD being the key contributor to the increasing rate.
Adverse Cardiovascular Effects of Nicotine Delivered by Chronic Electronic Cigarettes or Standard Cigarettes Captured by Cardiovascular Intrinsic Frequencies
Authors: Alavi Rashid , Dai Wangde , Mazandarani Sohrab P. , Arechavala Rebecca J. , Herman David A. , Kleinman Michael T. , Kloner Robert A. , Pahlevan Niema M.
Published: September 2024

Background

Electronic cigarettes have gained popularity as a nicotine delivery system, which has been recommended by some as an aid to help people quit traditional smoking. The potential long‐term effects of vaping on the cardiovascular system, as well as how their effects compare with those from standard cigarettes, are not well understood. The intrinsic frequency (IF) method is a systems approach for analysis of left ventricle and arterial function. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated the diagnostic and prognostic value of IF. Here, we aim to determine whether the novel IF metrics derived from carotid pressure waveforms can detect effects of nicotine (delivered by chronic exposure to electronic cigarette vapor or traditional cigarette smoke) on the cardiovascular system.

Methods and Results

One hundred seventeen healthy adult male and female rats were exposed to purified air (control), electronic cigarette vapor without nicotine, electronic cigarette vapor with nicotine, and traditional nicotine‐rich cigarette smoke, after which hemodynamics were comprehensively evaluated. IF metrics were computed from invasive carotid pressure waveforms. Standard cigarettes significantly increased the first IF (indicating left ventricle contractile dysfunction). Electronic cigarettes with nicotine significantly reduced the second IF (indicating adverse effects on vascular function). No significant difference was seen in the IF metrics between controls and electronic cigarettes without nicotine. Exposure to electronic cigarettes with nicotine significantly increased the total IF variation (suggesting adverse effects on left ventricle‐arterial coupling and its optimal state), when compared with electronic cigarettes without nicotine.

Conclusions

Our IF results suggest that nicotine‐containing electronic cigarettes adversely affect vascular function and left ventricle‐arterial coupling, whereas standard cigarettes have an adverse effect on left ventricle function.
Association Between Genetically Determined Serum Corin and the Risk of Stroke in Chinese Adults: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Published: September 2024

Background

Serum corin has been associated with stroke in observational studies, but the underlying causality is uncertain. This study examined the causal association between corin and stroke through Mendelian randomization study.

Methods and Results

In the Gusu cohort, serum corin was assayed at baseline, and stroke incidents were prospectively obtained during 10 years of follow‐up. Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in
CORIN
were genotyped by MassArray for 2310 participants (mean age, 53 years; 39% men). Seventeen SNPs passed the Hardy–Weinberg test and were considered the potential instruments. Only 1 SNP (rs2271037) determined variability of serum corin was significantly associated with stroke even after adjusting for conventional risk factors (hazard ratio [HR], 1.36 [95% CI, 1.00–1.85]). The weighted genetic risk score generated from the SNP‐corin associations was significantly associated with stroke (HR, 2.01 [95% CI, 1.15–3.51]). Using this genetic risk score as the instrument, 1‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis found a significant HR of stroke per‐SD higher log
2
‐transformed corin (HR, 1.37 [95% CI, 1.07–1.76]). The inverse variance–weighted analysis based on the SNP‐corin and SNP‐stroke associations found that the HR of stroke pre‐SD higher log
2
‐transformed corin was 5.92 (95% CI, 2.23–15.72). The effect estimates stayed consistent regardless of an individual SNP being removed from the instruments. An almost identical effect estimate was also confirmed by multiple other 2‐sample Mendelian randomization methods.

Conclusions

Genetically determined variations of serum corin concentration were significantly associated with the risk of stroke in Chinese adults. Elevated serum corin may be a risk factor for stroke.
Beyond Authenticity: Genre, Rhetoric, and the Iterability of Shangshu Speeches
Authors: Yao Zhuming
Published: September 2024

In the Chinese tradition, the interrelationship between philology and literature is at its most contentious when it comes to the issue of authenticity. It was not until the Qing (1644–1912) that the case of the Shangshu 尚書 finally reached a resolution—so goes the conventional account regarding the parts of the compilation now labelled “inauthentic” (wei 偽). This paper invites us to rethink this philological question as a literary one. It shows how a set of genre and narrative strategies gives rise to a range of different but compatible textualizations that do not lend themselves to the distinction between the “authentic” and the “inauthentic.” Instead, the Shangshu illustrates a literary history where writing appropriates, lays claim to, and derives discursive authority from the oral form, reflecting a much broader literary culture.
Informal Storytelling and Social Networks: A Paratextual Reading of the Records of Miraculous Recompense
Authors: Luo Manling
Published: September 2024

In his collection of Buddhist miracle tales, the Records of Miraculous Recompense (Mingbao ji 冥報記), Tang Lin 唐臨 provided epilogues for most of his entries, documenting the sources and/or transmissions of stories that he had gathered over time. Situating these seemingly disparate, fragmentary paratexts in the context of the medieval “culture of informal storytelling,” this essay analyzes the range and composition of social networks as Tang Lin represents them in his epilogues. I then examine how his social networks, or his networks of informal storytelling, in the collection were embedded in the broader social world of the time. The case provides us with valuable glimpses into the dynamics of the culture of informal storytelling, especially its oral mode, and how it intersected with contemporaneous commemorative culture and lay Buddhist culture. These connections enable us to better understand the crucial roles that the culture of informal storytelling played in the medieval period before the advent of printing and other mass media.
Reconsidering Textual Coherence: Complexity, Unity, and the Historical-Critical Task
Authors: Timmer Daniel C.
Published: September 2024

This article draws upon the discipline of linguistics in order to propose refinements to understandings of coherence as typically employed in much biblical interpretation. After arguing in favor of inductive, linguistic definitions of coherence and distinguishing it from cohesion, it examines several examples of biblical interpretation in which conventional understandings of, and criteria for, coherence are employed. Key differences between these two understandings of coherence are then mapped onto prominent trends in analysis of text formation and interpretation in an effort to identify ways that biblical scholars can refine and sharpen their textual analyses through more careful use of coherence.
Spirit of Jubilee: How Pentecost Birthed and Renews the Church
Authors: Alfaro Sammy
Published: September 2024

Often considered almost an afterthought in some evangelical theological works, pneumatology among Pentecostal theologians became the quintessential focus and integrative motif for doing theology. But pneumatology should be more than an exploration of tongues and giftings; more than a study of the what, when, how, and why of Spirit baptism. Books explaining preferred interpretations of the gift of tongues as an or the evidence for the baptism in the Holy Spirit abound. The purpose of this address is to establish the narrative of Acts 2 as a formative and programmatic vision for the life and mission of the church as birthed and renewed in the power of Pentecost. This talk aims to outline some of the forays of Pentecostal pneumatological ecclesiology by underscoring the liberative dimensions of the Spirit of Jubilee.
Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Authors: Srivastava Ira
Published: September 2024

Armenia and Azerbaijan have had a long history of adversarial conflict, with hostility being a recurring theme throughout history. The long history manifested into outright armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020. Subsequently, Armenia filed an application before the International Court of Justice to institute proceedings against Azerbaijan for racial discrimination against ethnic Armenians. This paper examines the jurisdiction of the icj in deciding on the dispute. The paper argues that it appears that the icj has jurisdiction over the present dispute. The second part of the paper discusses the applicability of the Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. It finally concludes with the way forward.
New Political Theology in Beijing: Jürgen Moltmann’s Dialogue with Chinese Humanists
Authors: Thurston Naomi
Published: September 2024

This article contextualizes the Chinese reception of Moltmann’s “new political theology” within Chinese academia by revisiting the “Beijing Summit” of October 2014, when Moltmann travelled to Renmin University of China to dialogue with ten leading Chinese academics in the humanities and social sciences. Debates raised concerned the recent Chinese reception of Carl Schmitt (1888–1985); President Xi Jinping’s Chinese Dream of National Rejuvenation; state responses to terrorism; and the “new political theology” introduced by Moltmann (1926–2024), Johann Baptist Metz (1928–2019), and others in post-WWII Germany. The article juxtaposes Moltmann’s and Schmitt’s political theologies in their respective receptions in Chinese scholarship, summarizes and presents a brief contextual analysis of the 2014 Summit with Moltmann, and probes the critical potential of Moltmann’s ideas for theological discourse in Chinese academia.
Evidence, Causality, and Collective Action
Authors: Fullhart Samuel
Published: September 2024

In collective action problems, large numbers of contributions together produce a good outcome, but any one contribution often makes no difference. Many philosophers think that act consequentialism implies that individuals should not contribute in these cases, given that their contributions cannot be expected to affect the outcome. Nearly everyone has assumed that the relevant expected effects of an action are those effects that are counterfactually dependent on what a given agent does. This assumption is at the heart of causal decision theory. In contrast, evidential decision theory evaluates actions on the basis of whatever can be expected to happen, given that the agent performs some action, where this includes events that are simply correlated with the action. I show that causal and evidentialist versions of act consequentialism can diverge in collective action problems. Evidential decision theory can require us to do our part even when causal decision theory does not.
Moral Contingency and Moral Supervenience
Authors: Bedke Matthew S.
Published: September 2024

Moral Supervenience says that there can be no moral difference without a descriptive difference. This has been considered one of the least controversial principles in ethics. Explaining it has been a central desideratum. And yet an increasingly popular metaethical view appears to be incompatible with it. According to Moral Contingency, there are metaphysically contingent pure moral principles helping to ground particular moral facts. On such a view, it looks like there can be a difference in pure moral principles without a descriptive difference. This looks like a moral difference without a descriptive difference. Are those who find both Moral Supervenience and Moral Contingency plausible faced with a difficult choice? Many contingentists think so, but I am here to argue that they are mistaken. The two principles are compatible after all, for differences in pure moral principle entail descriptive differences.
Parameterization of Vertical Turbulent Transport in the Inner Core of Tropical Cyclones and Its Impact on Storm Intensification. Part II: Understanding TC Intensification in a Generalized Sawyer–Eliassen Diagnostic Framework
Authors: Katz Jeremy , Zhu Ping
Published: September 2024

An analytical method for diagnosing the interaction between the primary and secondary circulations of a tropical cyclone (TC) and vortex intensification is developed. It includes a diagnostic equation describing the mean secondary circulation of a TC in an unbalanced framework by including the radial eddy forcing in the analytical system. It is an extension of the Sawyer–Eliassen equation (SEE) developed from the strict gradient-wind balance. This generalized SEE (GSEE) remediates some of the limitations of SEE and can be used to diagnose both balanced and unbalanced dynamical processes during the TC evolution. Using GSEE, this study investigates how the tangential and radial eddy forcing affects the TC intensification simulated by the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model (HWRF) with differently parameterized turbulent mixing. The diagnostic results show that the supergradient component of radial eddy forcing contributes positively to the acceleration of the peak tangential wind, whereas the subgradient component of the radial eddy forcing tends to lower the height of peak tangential wind. The relative importance of negative and positive effects of tangential eddy forcing on TC intensification varies depending on the details of turbulence parameterization. For a turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) scheme used in this study, a large sloping curvature of mixing length in the low troposphere causes the tangential eddy forcing to produce a net positive tangential wind tendency near the location of the peak tangential wind. In contrast, a small sloping curvature of mixing length generates a net negative tangential wind tendency at the peak tangential wind.

Significance Statement

The interaction between the primary and secondary circulations of a tropical cyclone (TC) plays a key role in TC evolution. Historically, the secondary circulation induced by turbulence and convection is often described by a so-called Sawyer–Eliassen equation (SEE). While SEE has provided much insight into the TC dynamics in the past, the assumption of gradient-wind balance used by SEE prevents it from understanding TC unbalanced dynamics. To remediate the limitation, we extended the analytical framework into the unbalanced regime by including radial eddy forcing in the analytical system and derived a generalized SEE (GSEE). Using GSEE, this study investigates how tangential and radial eddy forcing affects TC intensification. The result highlights the importance of multiple roles that turbulence plays in the intensification of TCs.
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease co-occuring with Hashimoto thyroiditis: A case report and literature review
Authors: Cao Dinh Hung , Doan Dung Manh , Tran Khanh Quang , Tran Trung The , Nguyen Si Luc
Published: September 2024

We introduce a 16-year-old female who presented with tender cervical lymphadenopathy, prolonged fever, and hypothyroidism. After excluding common causes of fever of unknown origin, a surgical biopsy of cervical lymph nodes revealed Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. The patient showed improvement with a short-term course of NSAIDs. An increased titre of thyroperoxidase antibody led to a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis during stable condition. This report underscores the importance of considering Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in the differential diagnosis of prolonged fever of unknown origin with lymphadenopathy and highlights the association with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, advocating for vigilance regarding hypothyroidism in long-term follow-up after Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease recovery.

In additive manufacturing (AM), the characteristics of raw powder materials has great influence on both the printing process and the final properties of as-printed components. Compared with ball milling of powder materials, the dispersion method has great advantages in preventing the agglomeration of nanoparticles. In the present study, the composite powders of micro-sized Ti6Al4V with nano-Y2O3 particles were prepared by dispersion method, the influence of nano particle content on surface morphology, flowability, apparent and tap density was investigated. In addition, the relative density and mechanical properties of as-printed samples were studied. The results showed that nano-Y2O3 particles were coated on the surface of Ti6Al4V powders without changing the spherical shape through dispersion treatment. The increase of nano particle content resulted in the increase of surface roughness, while the flowability and tap density of composite powders gradually decreased. Meanwhile, the relative densities of as-printed samples decreased, small clusters of nano-Y2O3 were observed due to the poor wettability between Ti6Al4V and Y2O3 nanoparticles. The agglomeration is caused by the extremely high temperature environment near the pore area. The enhancement of microhardness was attributed to the second-phase strengthening and grain refinement effect.
Unsupervised domain adaptation bearing fault diagnosis method based on joint feature alignment

In this paper, the issue of cross-condition fault diagnosis of bearing is studied. During actual operation, the conditions of bearing vary due to changes in factors such as rotation speed and load, and the data distribution between different working conditions varies. Deep learning models that perform well in one condition are not ideal when applied to another condition directly. To address this problem, a novel unsupervised domain adaptation fault diagnosis method based on joint feature alignment is proposed in this paper. 1D-CNN is used as a weight-shared feature extractor to extract the features from both the source and target domains. The discrepancies in marginal and conditional distributions between the source and target domains are comprehensively considered by multi-layer multi-bandwidth Cauchy kernel maximum mean discrepancy (MB-CMMD) and mutual information (MI). The domain drift is reduced by aligning the feature representations of source and target domains. The network after feature alignment demonstrates a notable enhancement in the diagnostic accuracy of unlabeled samples within the target domain. The experimental results demonstrate that, in comparison to other domain adaptation approaches, The proposed approach can significantly enhance the accuracy of fault diagnosis while realizing feature alignment.
Explant analysis of a chromium nitride coated metal-on-metal total wrist replacement: A case study

Published: September 2024

Explant analysis can provide important understanding of how artificial joints perform in the human body. The articulating surfaces of the metacarpal head and the radius cup from a chromium nitride coated metal-on-metal Motec wrist implant were analysed. Due to bone resorption and aseptic loosening, the implant was removed after 6 years in the patient, and metallosis was observed during removal. Visually, some areas of the articulating surfaces appeared polished, others were dulled. A chemical composition analysis of the metacarpal head showed that the polished surfaces were chromium rich, implying this surface was the original chromium nitride coating, whereas the dulled surfaces were cobalt rich, indicating the underlying cobalt chromium substrate. In addition, the underlying cobalt chromium substrate was an order of magnitude rougher than the polished surface, indicating the scale of damage to it. It is speculated that the loss of the coating, and the subsequent damage to the underlying substrate due to a third-body wear process, led to osteolysis and the metallosis seen at revision surgery.
Common odds ratio test and interval estimation for stratified bilateral and unilateral data
Authors: Hua Shuangcheng , Ma Changxing
Published: September 2024

In clinical research, data are commonly collected bilaterally from paired organs or bodily parts within individual subjects. However, unilateral data arise when constraints or limiting factors impede the collection of complete bilateral data. In this article, we propose three large-sample tests and five confidence interval methods for making inferences on the common treatment effect, measured by the odds ratio, in a stratified design under integrated bilateral and unilateral data. Our simulation results show that the likelihood ratio-based and score-based tests, along with their associated confidence interval methods, demonstrate robust control of type I error and close-to-nominal coverage probabilities. We apply the proposed methods to real-world datasets of acute otitis media and myopic eyes to showcase their validity and applicability in clinical practice.
Demystifying the Suprazygomatic Maxillary Nerve Block in Paediatric Cleft Palate Surgery
Authors: Fell Matthew , Fenner Lynn , Fallico Nefer
Published: September 2024

Objective

To consider the clinical anatomy, safety and effectiveness of the suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block in cleft palate surgery.

Design

Observational case series.

Setting

Single cleft centre in the United Kingdom

Participants

Patients born with a cleft palate (with or without a cleft lip) undergoing palatal surgery between the ages of 9 months and 18 years.

Intervention

Introduction of suprazygomatic maxillary nerve (SZMN) block using ropivacaine 0.2% into clinical protocol in February 2023.

Main Outcome Measures

Peri-procedure complications and post-operative opioid administration.

Results

The clinical anatomy of the SZMN block is described in a stepwise and pictorial approach from superficial to deep structures. 43 patients underwent surgical interventions involving the palate (either intravelar veloplasty, Furlow palatoplasty or bilateral myomucosal buccinator flaps for palatal lengthening). 22 patients had a general anaesthetic and local anaesthetic infiltration and 21 had an additional SZMN block. There were no local or systemic complications associated with the SZMN block. There was no difference in the total dosing of post-operative ( P = .79) opioids between the groups.

Conclusions

We demonstrate the feasibility and safety of this procedure without the use of ultrasound guidance in a heterogenous group of paediatric patients undergoing palatal surgery. Regional anaesthesia should be considered as part of the multi-modal analgesic strategy, although it may be difficult to demonstrate a change in opioid use in clinical settings where enhanced recovery techniques are established, and opioid use is already low.

Published: September 2024

High-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious and potentially fatal condition in pregnant and postpartum women. Clinical practice guidelines recommend managing high-risk PE in the general population with systemic thrombolysis as the first therapeutic option. However, pregnant and especially early postpartum women may have a high risk of bleeding that contraindicates this therapy. In this regard, dedicated percutaneous large-bore aspiration catheters may be a promising alternative for this population. We present 2 cases of pregnant women diagnosed with high-risk PE and an absolute contraindication to systemic thrombolysis, successfully treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using a dedicated large-bore aspiration catheter. There were no complications, and both patients were discharged with full recovery and subsequently had uncomplicated deliveries.

Clinical Impact

Through these clinical cases, we present a new protocol of action, updated with the latest evidence on percutaneous pulmonary thrombectomy using dedicated catheters, for high-risk PE in pregnant women or during the early postpartum period.
Learning and transfer of response–effect relations
Authors: Janczyk Markus , Eichfelder Lea , Liesefeld Heinrich R , Franz Volker H
Published: September 2024

Acting means changing the environment according to one’s own goals, and this often requires bodily movements as responses. How these responses are selected is a central question in contemporary cognitive psychology. The ideomotor principle offers a simple answer based on two assumptions: An agent first learns an association between a response and its effects. Later, this association can be used in a reverse way: When the agent wants to achieve a desired effect and activates its representation, the associated response representation becomes activated as well. This reversed use of the learned association is considered the means to select the required response. In three experiments, we addressed two questions related to the first assumption: First, we tested whether effect representations generalise to more abstract conceptual knowledge. This is important, because outside the laboratory and in novel situations, effects are variable and not always exactly identical, such that generalisation is necessary for successful actions. Second, the nature of the response–effect relation has been debated recently, and more data are necessary to put theorising on firm empirical ground. Results of our experiments suggest that (a) abstraction to conceptual knowledge seems to occur only under very restricted situations, and (b) it seems that no (implicit) associations between responses and effects are learned, but rather (explicit) propositional knowledge in the form of rules.
