Psychiatric symptoms and comorbidities in autism spectrum disorder: A narrative review
Authors: Francesco Ferrara  , Francesco Vaira  , Lucia D’Agostino  , Marina Ottaviano  , Stefano Marini
Published: January 2025

Autism Spectrum Disorder includes a group of developmental disorders characterized by a delay and deviation in the development of communication, socialization, cognitive skills, and the presence of restricted interests as well as repetitive behaviors. In the present paper, the authors present the psychiatric disorders that can most often be associated with the diagnosis of autism and the most frequent diagnostic means to diagnose comorbidity. Diagnosis can be difficult, especially in mild forms, because individuals with autism are more likely to have comorbid psychiatric disorders than the general population. Moreover, psychiatric comorbidities can worsen the clinical course of autism and determine resistance to pharmacological treatments. Further studies are needed to validate increasingly sensitive psychometric scales in identifying psychiatric comorbidities in people with autism and to use more appropriate medications for the management of core aspects of autism.
State-Citizen Relationships and Political Culture Transformations in Russia: A Historical Exploration
Authors: Khavarinejad Saeed
Published: January 2025

This study explored transformations in the state-citizen relationships and political culture in modern, contemporary, and present-day Russia. It situated these changes in the context of Almond and Verba’s (1963) political culture classification. It discovered four distinct historical phases of state-citizen relationships and various trends in political cultures during Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union, early post-Soviet Russia, and the Russian Federation from the 2000s. The author concluded that historical continuity in the autocratic power structure in Russia has kept state-citizen relationships limited and has complicated political culture, resulting in varying political roles of the people versus the states, ranging from subjects to citizens.

Employing Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Enhanced Precision in Potato and Maize Leaf Disease Detection and Classification
Authors: Jain Rituraj , Bekele Simon , Palaniappan Damodharan , Parmar Kumar , T Premavathi
Published: January 2025

Advances in image processing and techniques in artificial intelligence have made it possible for computers to see and learn. This article introduced a technology that has utilised MobilenetV2 Deep Convolution Neural Network architecture to automatically identify and diagnose plant diseases from images. The identification and classification of plant diseases are now carried out by only human experts-crop extension agents, and farmers, expensive labour that is prone to mistakes. This study relies on dataset gathering as a technique of classifying and identifying plant diseases. It is a multistep process involving pre-process data on the raw set, mask green area of the leaf, remove green section, convert to grayscale and then obtain some characteristics, select, and classify with regard to disease management, etc. Two different types of plants, maize and potato, have been taken in consideration to show effectiveness of the outcome of the proposed model. The confusion matrix and classification performance report were used to evaluate the system. The dataset for potato and maize comprised 6228 and 6878 images, respectively, of leaves. Precise, recall, and F1-scores of 95.15%, 94.76%, and 94.93% were recorded as a cumulative performance across the datasets of potato and maize respectively. This translates to its resistance in picking most diseases for these crops, making it a resource that can be used with confidence in agriculture disease detection. The MobileNetV2 model performs well in both crops, especially for potato early blight and maize common rust. Lower performance in recognizing healthy potato leaves suggests that the feature space of healthy and diseased leaves may overlap. The MobileNetV2 model performed a robust ability in general in the detection of most diseases affecting both potato and maize leaves, but some specific areas need to be targeted for further enhancement.

Published: January 2025

Innovative architectural frameworks are essential to address the challenges of dynamic and scalable contextual representation in complex linguistic tasks. Stochastic Cascade Networks provide a novel hierarchical approach, utilizing probabilistic mechanisms to enhance adaptability and improve performance across diverse applications. Through the cascading of stochastic layers, the model demonstrated significant advantages in capturing long-range dependencies, particularly in tasks with extended sequences or domain-specific requirements. Comparative results highlighted notable improvements in performance metrics, with the architecture excelling in scenarios where traditional methods exhibited limitations in maintaining coherence. Attention mechanisms embedded within the probabilistic framework facilitated more effective alignment between local and global contextual features. Computational optimizations ensured the approach remained feasible for resource-intensive implementations while retaining the ability to generalize across varied tasks. The incorporation of noise injection mechanisms improved robustness without introducing detrimental variability, reinforcing the model’s resilience under complex input conditions. Observations from benchmarks emphasized the framework’s scalability and its potential for application in multimodal systems or low-resource settings. Modular design principles allowed for seamless integration with existing language modeling pipelines, extending the utility of the architecture across evolving tasks. Enhanced interpretability was achieved through the probabilistic allocation of attention weights, providing clarity into the model's decision-making process. Evaluations further revealed the balance achieved between computational efficiency and representational accuracy, a significant advancement in language model design.
Evaluación de la consistencia de la nueva Estadística de Migraciones y Cambios de Residencia con la Estadística de Variaciones Residenciales y la Estadística de Migraciones
Authors: González-Leonardo Miguel
Published: January 2025

Las fuentes españolas de migraciones son utilizadas por investigadores y organismos naciones e internacionales, por lo que su consistencia en series temporales es fundamental. En 2021, el INE sustituyó las fuentes antiguas de migraciones (EVR y EM) por una nueva (EMCR), afectando a la serie histórica. En este artículo, se analiza la consistencia de la EMCR con la EVR y la EM en 2021, el único año en el que se publicaron las tres fuentes simultáneamente, y se crean factores de ponderación para hacer consistente la nueva fuente con las antiguas. Los resultados muestran que la EMCR es consistente con la EVR en las migraciones internas, con una diferencia de -0.2%. El conteo de la EMCR es muy superior al de la EVR y la EM en las migraciones exteriores, principalmente en las emigraciones, un 53,8% y 82,7% más para cada fuente, respectivamente. Las discrepancias se acentúan a escala regional, provincial y municipal. Las diferencias se deben a los cambios metodológicos para contabilizar las migraciones internacionales.
Changes in physical properties of rocks during serpentinization and implications for natural hydrogen exploration
Authors: Mathur Yashee , Mukerji Tapan
Published: January 2025

Serpentinization, transforms the physical properties of ultramafic rocks, with significant implications for natural hydrogen exploration. This study compiles and analyzes over 1,000 samples from diverse geological settings to elucidate relationships between rock properties—such as density, seismic velocities, elastic moduli, porosity, and magnetic susceptibility—and the degree of serpentinization. Our findings reveal systematic trends, including marked reductions in density and seismic velocities, and increases in porosity and magnetic susceptibility, which can serve as measurable proxies for identifying hydrogen-rich source rocks. By establishing robust empirical and cross-property relationships, we offer predictive rock physics tools to enhance geophysical exploration and reduce interpretation uncertainties in hydrogen exploration. Furthermore, this work uses differential effective medium models to capture rock property changes during serpentinization, laying the groundwork for further rock physics modeling. These insights not only improve the understanding of subsurface hydrogen systems but also pave the way for innovative exploration strategies in the growing field of natural hydrogen exploration.
Untangling microfibres: Pervasive plastic pollution in submarine canyons
Authors: Keavney Edward , Kane Ian , Clare Michael , Hodgson David , Huvenne Veerle , Sumner Esther , Peakall Jeff , Mienis Furu
Published: January 2025

Submarine canyons are important conduits for microplastic transport to the deep sea via turbidity currents. However, other near-bed oceanographic flows and sub-seafloor processes may play an important role in the transport and burial of microplastics. We use sediment push-cores for microplastic and sediment grain-size analysis from two transects across the Whittard Canyon, UK, to show that complex process-interactions control the transport and burial of microplastics and semi-synthetic microfibres in the thalweg and on the canyon flanks. Microplastic pollution is pervasive across the canyon at both transects, from the thalweg and from 500 m higher on the flanks, despite turbidity currents being confined to the canyon thalweg. Furthermore, we calculate sediment accumulation rates from 210Pb dating and show that microplastic concentrations remain similar at sediment depths down to 10 cm. This reveals that the huge global-increase in plastic production rates over time is not recorded, and that microplastics are present in sediments that pre-date the mass-production of plastic. The interaction of turbidity currents, deep-tidally-driven currents, and sub-seafloor processes shreds any potential signal that microplastics may provide as indicators of historical plastic production rates, which undermines the utility of microplastics as reliable markers of the onset of the Anthropocene.
The construction of emotional meaning in language
Authors: Hoemann Katie , Lee Yeasle , Dussault Èvelyne , Devylder Simon , Ungar Lyle H , Geeraerts Dirk , de Mesquita Batja Gomes
Published: January 2025

The experience of emotion is a form of meaning-making: it encapsulates one’s relationship to the circumstances. Certain concerns are put in focus; one sees oneself and events from a particular perspective; events are evaluated along a set of relevant dimensions. These three processes – attention, construal, and appraisal – are key to understanding how emotional meaning is assembled in context. In this perspective, we illustrate their importance for the science of emotion and propose means of studying them through language. Our interdisciplinary approach seeks to move the field beyond the words that label emotions, to a higher-dimensional, dynamical account of emotional meaning.
Goffman’s dramaturgy applied to Mad Men (TV series)
Authors: de Gracia Daniel
Published: January 2025

This article examines the television series Mad Men through the theoretical lens of Erving Goffman's dramaturgical theory, analyzing how characters navigate identity construction, impression management, and social performance within the 1960s advertising industry. Through a detailed analysis of seven key areas - identity performance, professional evolution, organizational space, gender dynamics, client interactions, status maintenance, and identity transformation - this study demonstrates the enduring relevance of Goffman's theoretical framework for understanding complex social interactions in media representations. The research employs qualitative analysis to examine how the series' characters embody Goffman's concepts of front stage/backstage behavior, impression management, mystification, and self as a dramatic product. Particular attention is paid to Don Draper's constructed identity, Peggy Olson's professional advancement, and the Sterling Cooper office environment as exemplary dramaturgical principles in action. The findings reveal how Goffman's theoretical constructs provide valuable insights into the performative nature of social life, particularly in professional settings where identity management and role performance are crucial. This analysis contributes to scholarly understanding of how dramaturgical theory can illuminate the complex relationships between individual performance, institutional power structures, and social transformation as portrayed in contemporary media. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the utility of applying sociological frameworks to media analysis, offering new perspectives on how television narratives reflect and interpret social reality.

Published: January 2025

This report presents the findings of a comprehensive survey conducted in 2023 to examine the employment conditions of academic staff (Mittelbau) at Austrian public universities. Based on responses from over 2,300 participants, the study highlights the systemic prevalence of precarious employment, characterized by fixed-term contracts and job insecurity, and its detrimental impacts on academic careers, research, and teaching. Key findings reveal widespread lack of awareness about employment-related legal frameworks and limited career prospects due to scarce pathways to permanent positions. The report underscores how precarious conditions compromise teaching quality, hinder research innovation, and disrupt the continuity of academic projects. It calls for systemic reforms to create transparent career paths, stabilize project-based employment, and address structural inequities in academia. These recommendations aim to foster sustainable working conditions that support high-quality research and education in Austria.
Practices of studying with AI chatbots: How university students actually use ChatGPT and co
Authors: Grothe-Hammer Michael , Hammer Svenja , Berkel-Otto Lisa
Published: January 2025

This study addresses a significant gap in our understanding of how university students actually use AI chatbots such as ChatGPT. While existing literature has explored students’ attitudes, the acceptance and adoption of AI tools, as well as potential implications for academic integrity, little is known about the students’ concrete practices of using AI chatbots. We conducted an exploratory, qualitative study involving focus group interviews with 61 students at a German university. Drawing on sociological practice theory, particularly structuration theory, we show how students use (and not use) AI chatbots very reflexively and often in highly elaborate ways. We identify five generalized practices of usage: Students use AI chatbots as support tool (e.g., language editing), as learning facilitator, as sole author (students just copy-paste AI-generated text), as first author (students substantially modify AI-generated text), and as second author (students outline their own ideas and arguments and let the AI write them up). Hence, in addition to mere copy-pasting, students often co-author their works with AI chatbots, bringing up the question of originality. Furthermore, we reveal the related norms and interpretative schemes. Further findings include that the non-usage of AI chatbots has become a source of self-validation and pride for some students. We also find a continued necessity for students to acquire academic competencies. Our findings have significant implications for university policies. Measures such as mandatory disclosure of AI use, reliance on AI detection tools, or outright bans may prove ineffective and problematic, and might even exacerbate existing inequalities.

Authors: Khamooshi Ferydoon
Published: January 2025

In this study, a novel antibacterial nanocomposite of poly (aniline-co-m-amino benzenesulfonic acid) (NPAABS), was synthesized using a simple, green, and template-free method. The synthesis produced both salt and base forms of the nanocomposite, which were characterized using various techniques, including FT-IR, UV-Vis’s spectroscopy, elemental analysis, TGA, DSC, XRD, and SEM/TEM microscopy. The results indicated that some m-amino benzenesulfonic acid acted as dopant anions, while others were incorporated into the polymer chains as monomers, confirming the successful synthesis of the copolymer. The nanocomposites exhibited nanobelt morphology, with average diameters of 38 nm for the salt form and 26 nm for the base form. Additionally, the study provided insights into the conductivity and thermal stability of the synthesized materials, revealing that the NPAABS-salt demonstrated higher conductivity compared to the NPAABS-base. Based on the results of this research, it is possible to develop new materials with improved properties and diverse applications in various fields such as sensors, supercapacitors, and biomedical materials.

Concrete and reinforced concrete structures are susceptible to the negative effects of bacteria, mycelial fungi, and actinomycetes. The purpose of this research is development of compositions of cement binders with active mineral additives for biocidal concretes creation. For biocidal cements with an active additive manufacture following components were used: Portland cement clinker produced by JSC Mordovcement, two-water gypsum of the Poretsky deposit, fly ash of the Krasnoyarsk CHP-3 and biocidal ingredients: sodium sulfate, sodium fluoride. Biocidal cements were obtained by joint grinding of mineral components and biocidal additives, then an active mineral additive was added. The physico-chemical, physico-mechanical and technological properties of the cements with an active mineral additive and composites based on them were determined in accordance with current regulatory documents. X-ray phase analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermogravimetry, calorimetry and other methods were used in this work. The features of phase transformations in cement stone are revealed depending on the type and content of biocidal ingredients, active mineral additives and hydration time. The absence of ettringite formation during hydration of cements modified with sodium fluoride and the presence of a new hydroaluminate phase have been established. The curves of TG, DTG and DTA for hydrated biocidal cement with the addition of fly ash modified with sodium sulfate are almost identical to the curves of hydrated ordinary cement. The largest amount of C-S-H gel (40 wt. %) was recorded in formulations with an active mineral additive. Based on the results of the study of normal density and setting time of the cement dough, the strength of samples of biocidal cement stone during compression and bending, regression equations were obtained, graphical dependencies were built and optimal compositions of biocidal cements were determined. Compositions of biocidal cements superior in physical and mechanical properties to ordinary Portland cements, which are recommended for the manufacture of biostable building products, have been obtained.
Structural-sensitive properties of self-healing asphalt concrete
Authors: Inozemtsev S. S. , Korolev E. V.
Published: January 2025

The statistical data analysis was performed for 10 different properties of asphalt concrete determined according to GOST 31015–2002 and the optimization of the set of quality indicators was performed. Three characteristics sufficient for assessing the quality of self-healing asphalt concrete were identified. The compressive strength limit at 0 and 20оC and the splitting strength limit at 0оC are the quality system indicators sensitive to the self-healing process. It was found that the self-healing index is inversely proportional to the relative deformations to which the asphalt concrete sample is subjected when determining the physical and mechanical properties. The use of AR polymer in capsules allows achieving a greater self-healing effect compared to capsules containing vegetable oil. The use of capsules with vegetable oil is advisable only when combating cracks formed as a result of thermal-oxidative aging of asphalt concrete bitumen.
Gender disparities in industry payments to neurosurgeons: a comprehensive analysis of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Open Payments data (2016–2022)
Authors: Kabangu Jean-Luc K. , Hernandez Amanda , Graham Delaney , Dugan John E. , Eden Sonia V.
Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the extent of gender disparities in financial interactions between neurosurgeons and the medical device industry, examining the differences in the number, amount, and types of payments made to male and female neurosurgeons.

METHODS

Utilizing data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Open Payments database covering 2016–2022, the authors conducted a comprehensive analysis of industry payments to neurosurgeons. This methodology included univariate and multivariate analyses to examine the disparities in payments, with a focus on identifying significant differences in compensation across genders.

RESULTS

An analysis of 24,074 industry transactions totaling $388,916,456.88 underscored pronounced gender disparities, with female neurosurgeons involved in merely 2.47% of these transactions and receiving just 0.91% of the overall financial value. The data revealed significant discrepancies in compensation between genders across all contributing companies. Male neurosurgeons engaged in a higher average number of annual transactions compared with their female counterparts (4.60 vs 2.75, p < 0.001), across various financial interactions. This included a greater participation in royalties and licenses (1.49 vs 0.31, p < 0.001), consulting fees (2.16 vs 1.63, p = 0.024), and acquisitions (0.01 vs 0.00, p = 0.006). On average, female neurosurgeons were compensated $16,303.66, starkly lower than the $75,523.20 average received by their male counterparts (p < 0.005). This gap was especially significant in royalties and licenses, where females earned an average of $5168.57 compared with $61,898.47 for males (p = 0.004). Additionally, in acquisitions, female neurosurgeons received no payments at all, whereas males averaged $2153.43 (p = 0.042). Several of these disparities remained significant even after accounting for potential confounding factors, highlighting a systematic bias in compensation and industry engagement against female neurosurgeons.

CONCLUSIONS

The study underscores a significant gender-based disparity in the financial interactions between neurosurgeons and the medical device industry. These disparities highlight the need for systemic changes to address the underlying factors contributing to inequity in compensation and industry collaboration opportunities. Implementing equitable compensation structures, mentorship programs, and inclusive policies is a crucial step toward achieving gender parity in neurosurgery and ensuring the field benefits from the diverse skills and perspectives of all its members.

The local people of Kehiran Village are heavily reliant on a sustainable harvesting of sago mushrooms from the surrounding forest; this not only provides them with a source of income, but sustenance too. In order to preserve this invaluable knowledge, it is imperative to educate the younger generation on the morphology, nutritional value and beneficial effects that sago mushrooms offer. This can be achieved through educational programmes for elementary school students in Kehiran Village, which should include information on the importance of conservation and habitat protection. This educational initiative was conducted at SDN Inpres Kehiran in Jayapura Regency from June to September 2024, utilising a multifaceted approach encompassing lectures, focus group discussions, participatory planning, and hands-on practicals.The programme met with remarkable success, surpassing initial expectations, largely due to the enthusiastic participation of the students and the instrumental role played by the Principal and teaching staff in its seamless execution.

This research aimed to determine the role of butterflies as pollinators of various horticultural plants and wild flowering plants at the agro-ecosystem in Arso District, Keerom Regency. Data collection on butterfly nectar sources used the Visual Count Method and All Out Search Method (AOSM) at Arso District every week for 4 months (May-August 2023). From the survey results, it was discovered 32 species of butterflies of Superfamily Papilionoidea that consisted of Paplionidae (9 species), Pieridae (6 species), Nymphalidae (12 species) and Lycaenidae (5 species). These butterflies visited flowering plants as a source of nectar. It was found 25 species of flowering plants consisting of 10 families which were sources of nectar for butterflies, namely Asteraceae, Rubiaceae, Malvaceae, Lamiaceae, Orchidaceae, Verbenaceae, Fabaceae, Amaranthaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Rutaceae. The flowering plants most visited by butterflies were Bidens pilosa (15 species), Stachytarpheta urticaefolia (14 species), and Lantana camara (10 species). Asteraceae is the family of flowering plants most visited by butterflies, recorded 19 species. Butterflies have an important role in helping to pollinate wild flowering plants and horticultural plants in the agroecosystem in Arso District. The Papilionidae and Nymphalidae families were efficient pollinators because of their high mobility and large body size which could transfer more pollen from one flower to another. Pieridae visit more flowering plants than any other butterfly family, of the 25 species of flowering plants, 23 of them are visited by Pieridae. Even though the Lycaenidae are less efficient in helping pollination because they visit more limited flowers as a result of their limited body size and flight power, especially plants that had small flowers such as bitter melon, long beans and cucumbers.

Way Kambas National Park (TNWK) in Lampung Province is experiencing prolonged drought, prompting the need for artificial water sources for wildlife. This study evaluated natural water conditions and compared three water provision methods. Conducted in collaboration with the Sumatran Tiger Conservation Foundation (October–December 2023), the research covered SPTN I Way Kanan (Rawa Bunder and Way Kanan Resorts) and SPTN III Kuala Penet (Margahayu Resort) in TNWK. Parameters included salinity measurements of natural water and testing plastic tubs, tarpaulin ponds, and their combination at 12 sites, monitored using trap cameras.The results showed that the Way Kanan River, the only remaining natural water source, had high salinity (13–15‰). Wildlife activity was higher at plastic tubs than at tarpaulin ponds, based on trap camera data.

Andaliman is an endemic plant in Indonesia and a characteristic spice of the Batak ethnic group. Its seeds have a low germination rate, around 14%, due to a hard seed coat structure that hinders water imbibition and gas exchange. To improve seed viability, biofertilizer from bamboo shoot extract and golden apple snail egg extract was used. This study aimed to determine the effect of this biofertilizer on breaking seed dormancy in Andaliman and its effective concentration. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 9 treatments and 5 replications. Data were analyzed using ANOVA at a 5% significance level, followed by LSD tests. Results showed no significant effect of the biofertilizer on breaking dormancy but influenced the percentage of intact, cracked, filled, and empty seeds. A 50% golden apple snail egg extract concentration (PS2) increased intact, cracked, filled, and empty seeds to 84, 16, 84, and 16%, respectively, after 72 days of storage (DAS).

Staurastrum is a microalgae from the family of Desmidiaceae which is abundant in freshwater. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of Staurastrum and the abundance of the population of Staurastrum in the Sentani Lake Jayapura. The study was conducted in March 2018 in the Sentani Lake Jayapura. The sampling method used was the survey method by sampling water in 6 locations (Kampung Yakonde, Ifale, Hobong, Kalkhote, Ayapo, Puay) on the edge and center of the lake. The results showed that 4 species of Staurastrum on the Sentani Lake were S. arachne, S. diacathum, S. gracile and S. incisum The abundance of the Staurastrum population highest at the location of Ayapo (103), Puay (94), Hobong (89), Kalkhote (81), Ifale (77) and Yakonde (8). In terms of the similarity index, there are 7 sampling points that are very similar, 23 that are similar, 20 that are dissimilar, and 16 that are very dissimilar. The difference in sampling location shows that sampling in the central part of the lakes has a higher population abundance compared to edge of the lake. In conclusion there are 4 species of Staurastrum, the location of Ayapo is higher in abundance, and the central part of the Lake is higher in abundance.
