Authors: Summers Charlotte , Taylor Alisdair J. G. , Panesar Arjun , Kaura Amit , Brinkworth Grant D.
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Obesity is a major global public health issue. In the United Kingdom, Cornwall is considered one of the most deprived areas with disproportionately higher rates of overweight and obesity. This study examined the demographics and outcomes of Cornwall residents self-referred to a precision digital health app delivering a Tier 2 Weight Management programme.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to understand the demographics and clinical characteristics of residents living in Cornwall (a remote area of the United Kingdom with mixed deprivation) who self-referred to a precision digital health tool delivering a Tier 2 Weight Management programme; and to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of the program to reduce body weight

METHODS

In a single-arm intervention design, adults who were overweight or obese self-referred to a precision health digital tool (Gro Health) that promotes accessible behaviour change self-management by providing evidence-based structured education, guided behavioural change activities, weekly virtual meetups and community support, health tracking and data-driven insights. Participant characteristics and health data was collected at baseline and follow-ups at 12 and 26 weeks.

RESULTS

423 participants self-referred to and completed the landing page, 408 (96.4%) were eligible and 404 (95.5%) downloaded the Gro Health app and created an account. Overall participants had an average age of 49.1 years, BMI of 36.3 kg/m2, with 56% female and 89% identifying as having a white ethnicity. 89% of participants reported outcomes at 26 weeks with an average weight loss of 6.6 ± 0.1% (Week 0: 99.3 ± 21.9 kg to Week 26: 92.5 ± 17.0). Participants reported high engagement and acceptance with the app.

CONCLUSIONS

A digital health app delivering a Tier 2 Weight Management service provided to residents in a community care setting was well accepted and promoted clinically relevant weight loss.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Improving access to mental health data to accelerate research and improve mental health outcomes is a potentially achievable goal given the substantial data that can now be collected from mobile devices. Smartphones can provide a useful mechanism for collecting mental health data from young people, especially as their use is relatively ubiquitous in high-resource settings such as the United Kingdom and they have a high capacity to collect active and passive data. This raises the interesting opportunity to establish a large bank of mental health data from young people that could be accessed by researchers worldwide, but it is important to clarify how to ensure that this is done in an appropriate manner aligned with the values of young people.

OBJECTIVE

In this study, we discussed the preferences of young people in the United Kingdom regarding the governance, sharing, and use of their mental health data with the establishment of a global data bank in mind. We aimed to determine whether young people want and feel safe to share their mental health data; if so, with whom; and their preferences in doing so.

METHODS

Young people (N=46) were provided with 2 modules of educational material about data governance models and background in scientific research. We then conducted 2-hour web-based group sessions using a deliberative democracy methodology to reach a consensus where possible. Findings were analyzed using the framework method.

RESULTS

Young people were generally enthusiastic about contributing data to mental health research. They believed that broader availability of mental health data could be used to discover what improves or worsens mental health and develop new services to support young people. However, this enthusiasm came with many concerns and caveats, including distributed control of access to ensure appropriate use, distributed power, and data management that included diverse representation and sufficient ethical training for applicants and data managers.

CONCLUSIONS

Although it is feasible to use smartphones to collect mental health data from young people in the United Kingdom, it is essential to carefully consider the parameters of such a data bank. Addressing and embedding young people’s preferences, including the need for robust procedures regarding how their data are managed, stored, and accessed, will set a solid foundation for establishing any global data bank.
Efficacy of Digital Outreach Strategies for Collecting Smoking Data: Pragmatic Randomized Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Kearney Lauren E , Jansen Emily , Kathuria Hasmeena , Steiling Katrina , Jones Kayla C , Walkey Allan , Cordella Nicholas
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Tobacco smoking is an important risk factor for disease, but inaccurate smoking history data in the electronic medical record (EMR) limits the reach of lung cancer screening (LCS) and tobacco cessation interventions. Patient-generated health data is a novel approach to documenting smoking history; however, the comparative effectiveness of different approaches is unclear.

OBJECTIVE

We designed a quality improvement intervention to evaluate the effectiveness of portal questionnaires compared to SMS text message–based surveys, to compare message frames, and to evaluate the completeness of patient-generated smoking histories.

METHODS

We randomly assigned patients aged between 50 and 80 years with a history of tobacco use who identified English as a preferred language and have never undergone LCS to receive an EMR portal questionnaire or a text survey. The portal questionnaire used a “helpfulness” message, while the text survey tested frame types informed by behavior economics (“gain,” “loss,” and “helpfulness”) and nudge messaging. The primary outcome was the response rate for each modality and framing type. Completeness and consistency with documented structured smoking data were also evaluated.

RESULTS

Participants were more likely to respond to the text survey (191/1000, 19.1%) compared to the portal questionnaire (35/504, 6.9%). Across all text survey rounds, patients were less responsive to the “helpfulness” frame compared with the “gain” frame (odds ratio [OR] 0.29, 95% CI 0.09-0.91; P<.05) and “loss” frame (OR 0.32, 95% CI 11.8-99.4; P<.05). Compared to the structured data in the EMR, the patient-generated data were significantly more likely to be complete enough to determine LCS eligibility both compared to the portal questionnaire (OR 34.2, 95% CI 3.8-11.1; P<.05) and to the text survey (OR 6.8, 95% CI 3.8-11.1; P<.05).

CONCLUSIONS

We found that an approach using patient-generated data is a feasible way to engage patients and collect complete smoking histories. Patients are likely to respond to a text survey using “gain” or “loss” framing to report detailed smoking histories. Optimizing an SMS text message approach to collect medical information has implications for preventative and follow-up clinical care beyond smoking histories, LCS, and smoking cessation therapy.

Health service facilities, especially pharmacies, play an important role in meeting the community's need for health support. A large number of pharmacies in Malang City and Regency is currently considered to be able to cause high competition between pharmacies so the geographic information system was chosen to see how the distribution of pharmacies is reviewed based on the population in each sub-district and the number of health facilities scattered in Malang. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution pattern of pharmacies and their ratio to the total population density and health facilities in Malang City and Regency. The method used in this research is to collect data in the form of coordinate points of pharmacies and health facilities, followed by processing data in the form of a T index and using Arcgis 10.3 software to visualize it in the form of a map. In the analysis of the distribution of pharmacies in Malang City, the five sub-districts showed uniform or evenly distributed results, while in Malang District, out of 33 sub-districts, only 17 districts had a uniform pattern. Based on the ratio of pharmacies and the population of Kedungkandang District, it can be said to have the best accessibility, namely 1:1.010 (14:100,000), which has met the requirements set by the Ministry of Health and WHO. While the other 4 sub-districts in Malang City have met the requirements for pharmacists according to the Ministry of Health but have not met the requirements for pharmacists according to WHO. In Malang Regency, the standard of pharmacy service in terms of the ratio of the availability of pharmacies to the population has not been met, only 4 sub-districts have ratios that meet the requirements of the Ministry of Health but have not met the needs of WHO. The results of the ratio of pharmacies that were reviewed based on the number of health facilities showed that out of five sub-districts in Malang City, four other sub-districts namely Kedungkandang, Blimbing, Lowokwaru, and Klojen had a ratio with a good category, while Sukun District had a very good ratio. In Malang Regency, 17 sub-districts have a very good ratio, 3 sub-districts show a good ratio value, and 12 sub-districts have a ratio value of 0-0.9, indicating that the number of pharmacies in the sub-district is less than the number of health facilities.

Knowledge of cardiovascular disease is essential for providing information about healthy behavior and to be proactive in reducing modifiable risk factors, control prevention, and improving early recognition. The existing study about knowledge of CVD in Indonesia is still limited. Hence, this study aimed to describe knowledge of CVD among general population in Indonesia and its association. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 34 provinces in Indonesia from November-December 2021. Data were retrieved using a self-administered questionnaire. The Chi-Square analysis was performed to determine the association that contributes to overall knowledge of CVD. Among the 694 participants, 32.1% originated from Java, with the median age was 24 years and dominated by women (72.5%). The mean score of overall CVD knowledge was 59.6%, and only 39.1% of the participants had good knowledge of CVD. Cerebrovascular disease (94.7%) was the most identified various type of CVD. Likewise, unhealthy diet (77.2%), obesity (74.6%), and lack of exercise (72.5%) were the most identified risk factors. More than 50% of the participants recognized heart attack symptoms such as chest pain (77.1%) and shortness of breath (66.1%). Meanwhile, numbness or weakness (84.7%), trouble speaking (76.9%), and loss of balance (72.3%) were recognized as stroke symptoms. Gender, age, education level, working status, healthy food, smoking status, family history of CVD, ever checked blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and total cholesterol were associated with overall knowledge of CVD. The disparity between level of CVD knowledge is not prominent among general population in Indonesia and further study need to establish.

Abstract

This study aims to explore contextual aspects that affect the implementation of the CSV program. Conceptualizing of CSV and its context, this exploratory qualitative research with a case study design has investigated the Kamojang Desa Digital CSV program run by PT PGE Area Kamojang from the planners’ and implementers’ perspectives. The results show that, although CSV is a mandate from PT Pertamina (Persero), its implementation is examined through translation that presents distinctive conception of the original idea. Of the three subprograms, only Geotato and Rangers App can be categorized as CSV with redefinition of the value chain model. Seven contexts have been abstracted: company capacity in networking, regulatory compliance, corporate CSV culture, capability to create innovation, dynamics of local commodity productivity, competency constraints, and ecological sustainability. Those are related to the context of village development in Indonesia, which is experiencing disparities in public services and limited access to modern technology.

Malicious URL Detection Using Logistic Regression
Authors: S Harshitha
Published: July 2023

Abstract: Over the past few years, there has been a considerable expansion in both the amount and variety of web services. Online services like social networking, online gaming, and banking have quickly advanced along with people’s reliance on them for routine chores. As a result, a lot of information is added to the Web every day. These web services open up new ways for people to engage, but they also give thieves new chances. URLs serve as jumping off points for all types of web attacks, making it possible for any user with bad intent to submit a malicious URL and steal the identity of a legitimate individual. Malicious URL detection is a crucial task in ensuring the security of internet users. This study describes a novel logistic regression technique for identifying malicious URLs.. The proposed method leverages a dataset consisting of various features extracted from URLs and their associated labels indicating whether they are malicious or not. To extract features, we consider both structural and content based characteristics of URLs. Structural features include domain length, path length, and presence of special characters, while content based features involve examining the lexical composition of the URL, such as the presence of suspicious keywords or uncommon words. Using a labelled dataset, the logistic regression model is trained using the retrieved features. The likelihood that a given URL is malicious is then predicted using the trained model. Results from experiments show how effective is the suggested strategy. When identifying fraudulent or benign URLs, the logistic regression model performs with high accuracy.
AMOSTRAS BIOLÓGICAS USADAS NA DETECÇÃO DO DOPING QUÍMICO E MATRIZES ALTERNATIVAS: UM ESTUDO COMPARATIVO
Authors: Natal Martins Adriana , Voltarelli Providello Maiara
Published: July 2023

O uso de substâncias ergogênicas, aquelas com a propriedade de alterar o rendimento físico de um indivíduo, já é antiga, visto que o homem sempre teve dificuldades em aceitar suas limitações físicas e mentais. Nas competições esportivas, novas técnicas e produtos químicos vêm sendo utilizados por atletas, o que coloca à prova as técnicas analíticas empregadas na detecção da dopagem. Com isso, a busca pelo aprimoramento no controle do doping torna-se essencial para a comunidade esportiva, visando tornar as competições mais igualitárias. Essa revisão bibliográfica objetivou analisar as amostras atualmente empregadas na detecção do doping e compará-las com matrizes alternativas que vêm sendo estudadas, apontando as vantagens e desvantagens de cada uma delas. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que as amostras “alternativas” (cabelo/pêlos, saliva e ar exalado) podem aprimorar as análises realizadas em amostras de sangue e urina, consideradas o “padrão-ouro” na atualidade. Apresentando algumas vantagens frente a essas amostras, as matrizes alternativas poderiam sanar algumas deficiências analíticas apresentadas. A constante ascensão dos métodos ergogênicos, exige que o controle do doping também esteja em constante aprimoramento. Afim de cumprir a legislação esportiva, as técnicas analíticas podem encontrar avanço ao se utilizar novas amostras biológicas.

Published: July 2023

Objectives:   Breast cancer is the primary cause of death in Iraqi women aged 30–54 years. The study examined the relationship between (G > A) (rs3918290) and (rs55886062, T >G) DPYD gene polymorphisms, their haplotypes, and capecitabine serum concentrations in postmenopausal Iraqi women with breast cancer in postmenopausal women. During capecitabine chemotherapy.

Methods: The study included 200 women: 100 apparently health (45-75 years old) and 100 with breast cancer (40-70 years old). This study, conducted between July and October 2022 at the oncology centre at Imam al-Hussain medical city in Kerbala, Iraq, plasma levels of Capacetabine and 5fu were measured in  breast cancer patients who had been taking capecitabine for at least three months. All participants gave informed consent.

Results: Capecitabine, and 5FU concentrations in breast cancer patients differed significantly, As the results showed, Capecitabine, and 5FU had a significantly higher concentration of them in patients with the TT allele than in those with the CC and CT alleles for the polymorphism (IVS14 + 1G > A) (rs3918290) and in patients with DPYD*13 (rs55886062) with the CC allele rather than the AA and AC alleles. Mutant allele carriers had increased Capecitabine concentrations (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Ca15.3, serum calcium, and estradiol all exist in bodily serum, making them a potentially useful novel diagnostic biomarker for patients with breast cancer due to their high levels of stability, as well as the biological properties of tumors, such as serum calcium and estrogen.

AS VIVÊNCIAS RELIGIOSAS DE PROFESSORAS DA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL E A ESCRITA DE PARECERES: O GÊNERO EM QUESTÃO
Authors: Knoblauch Adriane , Camargo Leniara Pellegrinello
Published: July 2023

Este artigo trata da problematização da escrita dos pareceres descritivos de crianças pequenas em relação à questão de gênero em um Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil, da cidade de Curitiba, a partir das relações entre docência e religião. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados a partir de questionários, observação, entrevista e análise dos pareceres entre os meses de agosto e dezembro de 2018. Objetivou-se verificar se a vivência religiosa das professoras influencia nas decisões sobre as escritas. A análise ocorreu a partir de Pierre Bourdieu e Gimeno Sacristán, para as noções de socialização, habitus e docência, além de estudos do campo de gênero na educação e da sociologia da religião. As escritas dos pareceres foram divididas em: ações, preferências e personalidades de meninos e meninas. Os resultados indicam que as noções de gênero internalizadas pelas professoras orientam sua escrita e a concepção binária de gênero tradicionalmente aceita pela sociedade foi mais evidente nas professoras com uma vivência mais institucionalizada com a religião. Por fim, a visão dos papeis de mulheres e de homens, influenciada pela religião, interfere nas visões de como enxergam as meninas e os meninos na instituição e precisam ser reveladas para contribuir nesse processo de socialização profissional.

Published: July 2023

O presente trabalho retrata os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada nos moldes da observação participante e da etnobiografia com o objetivo de compreender a dinâmica existente entre o ensino e aprendizagem e os valores civilizatórios inerentes às práticas cotidianas de uma comunidade tradicional afro-brasileira. O estudo foi realizado por meio da observação e participação de atividades litúrgicas de um terreiro de Umbanda e Candomblé – o “Ilè Asè Tobi Babá Olòrigbìn” -  localizado na cidade de Ituiutaba, MG. O ensinar como uma responsabilidade partilhada, a reafirmação de princípios éticos/civilizatórios (como a circularidade, a ancestralidade, a corporalidade, a conduta), a centralidade da oralidade e as relações entre a vida comunitária e uma singularidade que se funda no coletivo foram aspectos percebidos como características de uma dimensão formativa que orienta os aprendizados no interior desse grupo. Considerando que o modelo praticado por essas comunidades seja um modelo de sucesso (que tem resistido ao tempo e a um histórico de opressão), destacamos o grande desafio de aprender com os ensinamentos dos territórios afro-brasileiros e encontrar maneiras de incorporá-los às nossas práticas educativas, para que assim, vislumbremos uma escola mais diversa e humanizada.

Aim Identification of taxonomically cryptic species is essential for the
effective conservation of biodiversity. Freshwater-limited organisms
tend to be genetically isolated by drainage boundaries, and thus may be
expected to show substantial cryptic phylogenetic and taxonomic
diversity. By comparison, populations of diadromous taxa, that migrate
between freshwater and marine environments, are expected to show less
genetic differentiation. Here we test for cryptic diversity in
Australasian populations (both diadromous and non-diadromous) of two
widespread Southern Hemisphere fish species. Location Throughout both
their Australian ranges (including Lord Howe Island) and localities in
New Zealand (including the Subantarctic Islands and Chatham Island).
Taxon Galaxias brevipinnis and Galaxias maculatus. Methods mtDNA and
nuclear markers were used to assess the presence of cryptic species and
to determine if differences in species ecology could influence the
degree of cryptic diversity. Results Both mtDNA and nuclear markers
reveal putative cryptic species within these taxa. The substantial
diversity detected within G. brevipinnis may be explained by its strong
climbing ability which allows it to form isolated inland populations. In
island populations, G. brevipinnis similarly show deeper genetic
divergence than those of G. maculatus, which may be explained by the
greater abundance of G. maculatus larvae in the sea allowing more
ongoing dispersal. Main conclusions Our study highlights that even
widespread, ‘high-dispersal’ species can harbour substantial cryptic
diversity and therefore warrant increased taxonomic and conservation
attention.

Published: July 2023

Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Material (NePCM) is a promising technology
aimed at reducing glob-al energy consumption by maximizing the thermal
capacity and minimizing heat loss of traditional phase change materials
(PCMs). The superior heat capacities, thermal conductivities, and
stability of NePCMs have been the subject of extensive research, and
this review aims to classify recently inves-tigated NePCMs based on
their components and melting temperatures. By providing a comprehen-sive
classification of NePCMs reported in the literature, considering their
melting temperature and composition, this review offers a deeper
understanding of these materials. Furthermore, the review delves into
the various applications of NePCM in thermal management systems (TMS)
and describes current methods for improving their performance by
modifying geometric parameters and configura-tions. Additionally, a new
classification is introduced for NePCMs that do not fit directly into
exist-ing PCM categories, and a stack bar chart is created to
cross-reference this classification with tem-perature and composition.
The review also identifies gaps in the literature and suggests areas for
fu-ture research, providing a valuable resource for those interested in
this field.
Potentially toxic element accumulation in two Equisetum species spontaneously grown in the flotation tailings

Published: July 2023

Decades of mining activity have resulted in the accumulation of significant amounts of tailings that are deposited over the natural vegetation, forming deposits tens of meters thick. The tailings are poor in organic matter and macronutrients and contain a high concentration of potentially toxic elements (PTE). Their surface remains unvegetated for long periods of time and is susceptible to fluvial and wind erosion. Equisetum arvense and E. telmateia appear to be the first colonizers in the tailings of the Pb?Cu?Zn mine in Serbia. Each plant was sampled along with its associated substrate. Pseudototal and available metals in the substrate, as well as total As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn concentrations in the plant parts were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The findings show that both species have high bioaccumulation capacity and tolerance to otherwise toxic concentrations due to efficient accumulation, immobilization and detoxification of these elements in their underground parts. It is expected that the long-term presence of metal-tolerant horsetail species would increase the organic matter content of flotation residues, thus gradually improving their physical, chemical and biological properties. This, in turn, would promote the natural succession of other metaltolerant plant species and soil microorganisms.
Like barn leker best? Likhetens flertydighet
Authors: Binfield-Skøie Tina
Published: July 2023

Nordisk barnehagetradisjon beskrives gjerne som egalitær, preget av sosiopolitiske ambisjoner om å redusere ulikhet mellom samfunnsgrupper (Bendixsen et al., 2018). Artikkelen drøfter flerkulturelle barns vilkår for deltagelse i barnehagen i lys av barnehagelæreres forståelser av likhet. Likhet kan bidra til å etablere grensemarkeringer for tilhørighet (Gullestad, 2001), men kan på samme tid markere ulikhet gjennom hverdagsprioriteringer (Ellmer, 2020). Tematisk analyse av dybdeintervjuer med fire barnehagelærere viser et dialektisk spenn i likhetsbegrepet – fra «å ikke gjøre forskjell» til «å gi like muligheter». Likhet kobles i intervjuene til sin motsetning – at alle er forskjellige. Barnehagen betraktes som en nøytral grunn der forskjeller utforskes ut fra hva vi har til felles. Deltagelse i fellesskapet overlates slik sett til barnets opplevelse av tilhørighet og identifisering av «det antatt like» i barnehagens innhold og praksis. Artikkelen bidrar med et kritisk blikk på likhetens flertydighet ved at forståelser av likhet kan bidra til opplevelser av ulikhet parallelt med intensjonen om like muligheter for alle.
English abstract
The Ambiguity of Sameness
Nordic Early Childhood Education (ECE) traditions are described as egalitarian, characterized by socio-political ambitions to reduce unequal differences between social groups (Bendixsen et al., 2018). The article discusses multicultural children’s conditions for participation in ECE based on ECE teachers’ understandings of sameness. Whilst sameness may contribute to markers of belonging (Gullestad, 2001), everyday priorities in ECE may simultaneously emphasize differences between social actors (Ellmer, 2020). Thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with four ECE teachers shows a dialectical range in the concept of sameness—from “not making a difference” to “giving equal opportunities.” Sameness is in the interviews linked to its opposite—everyone is different. ECE is considered a neutral ground where differences are explored based on what we have in common. In this way, participation in the community is left to the child’s experience of belonging and identification of “the assumed same” in the ECE’s content and practice.
Impacto del cáncer de cuello uterino en la sexualidad femenina
Authors: Albæk-Jakobsen Camilla R. , Fusté-Brull Pere
Published: July 2023

Antecedentes: La sexualidad es un componente importante de la calidad de vida, y las sobrevivientes de cáncer de cuello uterino tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar una sexualidad alterada.
Objetivo: Investigar por separado el efecto del cáncer cervico-uterino y su tratamiento sobre tres componentes de la sexualidad femenina: función sexual, auto-concepto sexual y relaciones sexuales.
Método: Realizamos una búsqueda en Pubmed de estudios publicados en los últimos 10 años en inglés utilizando diferentes términos de entrada relacionados con la sexualidad después del cáncer de cuello uterino. La selección de los estudios se basó en la calidad.
Resultados: La mayoría de los estudios mostraron que las pacientes con cáncer de cuello uterino tenían menos interés o deseo sexual después del tratamiento. Hubo menor interés y actividad sexual después de la cirugía radical combinada con radioterapia en comparación con la cirugía radical o la cirugía combinada con quimioterapia. Un estudio informó que el 33% no tuvo interacciones sexuales después del tratamiento. Los pacientes tenían significativamente más dificultades para excitarse sexualmente y tenían problemas de lubricación en comparación con los controles sanos. Después de la radioterapia, las mujeres tuvieron más dificultades para obtener un orgasmo en comparación con las tratadas con cirugía radical. Las mujeres con cáncer de cuello uterino parecen tener más dispareunia en comparación con los controles sanos, lo que también podría estar asociado a una disminución del deseo sexual y de la excitación. Las mujeres diagnosticadas con cáncer ginecológico experimentan problemas de imagen corporal, autoestima sexual y auto-esquema sexual. La mayoría de los estudios han encontrado que las sobrevivientes de cáncer ginecológico experimentan un cambio negativo en su relación sexual de pareja.
Conclusión: La presente investigación encontró que el cáncer de cuello uterino tiene un impacto negativo de los tres componentes de la sexualidad femenina.
Normal Matter: The Standard Model
Authors: Fisher Peter
Published: July 2023

This chapter discusses the Standard Model, which is a theory of how all known particles interact with one another. The chapter provides a basic understanding of the Standard Model and its components to give context to the notion of what dark matter is and isn't. As a product of over 40 years of work by several thousand scientists, the Standard Model has made sensible predictions of physical phenomena that have been experimentally confirmed. The chapter describes two types of particles in the Standard Model: fermions and bosons, which have different quantum mechanical properties. It clarifies how the Standard Model specifies all the ways that fermions and bosons interact with each other, noting how the predictions of the Standard Model have agreed with actual measurements for over 30 years.
Searching for Axions
Authors: Fisher Peter
Published: July 2023

This chapter describes experiments to detect the axion, which originated in the 1980s when theorists realized that the axion could be dark matter. It points out that the name “axion” comes from an Italian laundry detergent and was used by one of the particle's inventors, because the axion “cleans up” the strong interaction. It also considers the difference of axions from Weakly Interacting Massive Particles as they are thought to interact mostly with photons, rather than nuclei and their mass is a few millionths that of a proton. The chapter explains the theoretical ideas behind the axion, how axions interact, and how their mass, lifetime, and interaction strengths are related. It considers the most sensitive experiment searching for the lightest axion, and talks about a way of searching for the most massive axions by looking for their emission from the Sun.
Introduction
Authors: Mackey Jacob L.
Published: July 2023

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the significance of Roman belief to just about everything that might be described as “Roman religion.” No one would deny that the Romans experienced emotions, undertook actions, adhered to and endorsed cultural norms, cooperated in collective cult, or inhabited a “world,” a uniquely Roman socioreligious reality, made up of temples, priests, and rituals, all with distinctive social properties and powers. However, in order to understand Roman cult, it is important to examine the Roman beliefs that underlay, produced, and sustained these phenomena. The chapter explains that the book offers an account of Roman belief and cult from intuitions to institutions. The chapter then presents some theses about human social cognition, looking at the mind's “Hypersensitive Agency Detection Device,” and its relevance to theological belief that are central to this book. It also illustrates the theory of Intentionality.
Inauguratio
Authors: Mackey Jacob L.
Published: July 2023

This chapter offers three related proposals about practice and belief in the Roman ritual of inauguratio. First, ritual participants' cognition-in-practice, including both practical and doxastic representations, guides their ritual actions. Second, participants' (and observers') cognition-about-practice guides their intuitions about and evaluations of the ritual actions that they see performed. Meanwhile, the third proposal claims that some practical and doxastic representations, including beliefs and deontic beliefs, are constitutive of religious practices and their effects. The chapter begins by presenting some relevant features of the cognitive theory of ritual. It then introduces the Roman auspices (or auspicia) before turning to Cicero's complaint against Mark Antony for his failure to undergo inauguration as a flamen. The chapter also distinguishes between constitutive and nonconstitutive, or merely “religious,” beliefs; this distinction pertains to inauguratio and to ritual more broadly.
Epilog
Authors: Mackey Jacob L.
Published: July 2023

This epilogue studies ancient explanations of sacrifice, that most central of Roman sacra. It begins by surveying the component actions of Roman sacrifice. The chapter then compares three ancient discussions of sacrifice, two of them treating of Roman sacra and one of them treating of barbarian cult—but all three purporting to explain the practices of the “other.” These include Dionysius of Halicarnassus's Antiquitates Romanae, Arnobius of Sicca's Adversus Nationes, and Julius Caesar's De bello Gallico. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Arnobius of Sicca, and Julius Caesar produced accounts of the sacrificial practices of the culturally other that were at once explanatory and at least implicitly comparative. They compared the practices of other peoples to their own, more familiar practices and in so doing sought the reasons why the peoples under investigation sacrificed as they did.
