AbstractWhile the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—particularly Natural Language Processing (NLP) models—for detecting symptoms of depression from text has been vastly researched, only a few studies examine such potential for the detection of social anxiety symptoms. We investigated the ability of the large language model (LLM) GPT-4 to correctly infer social anxiety symptom strength from transcripts obtained from semi-structured interviews. N = 51 adult participants were recruited from a convenience sample of the German population. Participants filled in a self-report questionnaire on social anxiety symptoms (SPIN) prior to being interviewed on a secure online teleconference platform. Transcripts from these interviews were then evaluated by GPT-4. GPT-4 predictions were highly correlated (r = 0.79) with scores obtained on the social anxiety self-report measure. Following the cut-off conventions for this population, an F1 accuracy score of 0.84 could be obtained. Future research should examine whether these findings hold true in larger and more diverse datasets.

AbstractSince therapeutic options are limited the utilization of prebiotics is suggested to prevent food allergies (FAs). Using an experimental peach allergy model we explored the effect of dietary fiber pectin, a high-methoxyl heteropolysaccharide, on the manifestation of FA. CBA/J mice were sensitized, subsequently orally boosted and provoked with peach peel extract. For dietary intervention, mice were fed a pectin containing diet before (primary-preventive) or after (secondary-preventive) sensitization. Non-treated allergic and sham-treated mice were fed a diet containing 20% cellulose. Fecal microbiota, humoral and intestinal immune cell responses were analyzed. Pectin remarkably affected the gut microbiota composition and diversity, promoting mainly the growth of Bacteroides. The frequency of mast cells, macrophages, and CD3+T cells in the lamina propria of the small intestine was reduced, whereas the frequency of B cells and CD4+T cell subpopulation was enhanced. Pectin intervention in the primary-preventive stetting significantly triggered serum IgA levels, whereas production of IgE and mMCPT-1 was reduced. Remarkably, in both settings peach allergen-specific IgG1/IgG2a ratio and specific IgE were significantly reduced to baseline. The data suggest, that dietary supplementation of pectin in both intervention approaches can diminish inflammatory responses and signs of allergic immune responses, accompanied by alteration of the gut microbiota composition.

AbstractThe placement of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) comes with a risk of adverse events (AE). AE comprise complications associated with the procedure and the device. CIED infection is a severe AE. Reported CIED infection rates are regionally differing and publications of contemporary large cohort data regarding CIED infections for Germany are lacking. This investigation provides rates of CIED infection related hospital admission and CIED infection related mortality in Germany. Data from Germany’s largest healthcare insurance fund was screened for CIED procedures during the period: January to December 2015. These data included placement, revision with aim to up- or downgrade, generator substitution, early revision and partial or complete extraction using specific procedure codes for reimbursement. Among the total population of beneficiaries undergoing CIED procedures, International Classification of Diseases codes (ICD 10 GM), operational and procedural codes for partial or complete hardware removal were used to identify CIED infections and lead related endocarditis. To report the corresponding mortality rates, the hospital discharge status was documented. In 2015, from a population of more than 27 million beneficiaries, we identified the cohort of 60,296 patients (57.3% male) who underwent any invasive CIED procedure. Within three months from the index procedure, 1,595 patients developed a major CIED infection. 1,129 (1.87%) were related to the generator pocket and 466 (0.8%) were related to the transvenous proportions of the leads, mortality after those infections was 8.4% and 15.24%, respectively. In summary, our data reveals a higher prevalence of acute CIED infection than previously noted. The elevated number of additional procedures in cases of CIED infection implies a deficiency in infection awareness.

AbstractTo investigate whether coronary artery disease (CAD) burden is associated with plasma levels of the myocardial biomarkers Troponin I (TropI) and NT-proBNP in a large population-based sample using a cross-sectional design. Coronary computerized tomography (CT) angiography was performed in 25,859 subjects without a history of atherosclerotic disease from SCAPIS study (age 50–65, 52% women). TropI and NT-proBNP were measured in plasma. Segment involvement score (SIS) was the primary exposure and TropI the primary outcome. Both SIS and coronary artery calcium score, were associated with TropI levels following adjustment for age, sex and multiple confounders (p < 0.001), with similar relationships in men and women. Proximal segments from all three coronary arteries were related to TropI levels independently of one another. Adding TropI to traditional risk factors marginally increased discrimination of atherosclerosis as compared to risk factors alone (C-statistics + 0.0005, p = 0.014). SIS was related also to NT-proBNP levels, mainly in men, but with lower estimates than TropI. The burden of CAD was related to TropI levels in both men and women. All three major coronary arteries contributed to this relationship. Adding TropI to traditional risk factors resulted in only marginally improved discrimination of coronary atherosclerosis.

Naming Ability in the Chronic Phase of Moderate–Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: McCurdy Ryan , Covington Natalie V. , Duff Melissa C. 
Published: December 2024

Introduction:
Naming difficulties are commonly reported in the acute and subacute stages of recovery of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and across severity levels. Previous studies, however, have used samples of mixed chronicity (acute and chronic) and severity (mild and severe) and then aggregated data across individuals from these distinct groups. Thus, we have little knowledge about the persistence of naming difficulties into the chronic stage of recovery in individuals with moderate–severe TBI.

Purpose:
To increase the rigor and reproducibility of naming research in TBI, the present study sought to determine the presence and profile of naming disruptions into the chronic stage of moderate–severe TBI using a confrontation naming assessment.

Method:
Thirty-three individuals aged 24–55 years in the chronic epoch of moderate–severe TBI and 33 demographically matched noninjured comparison (NC) participants completed the Philadelphia Naming Test (PNT). A mixed-effects logistic regression model predicting the probability of a correct response as a function of group was fit to the data.

Results:
Participants with TBI performed well on the PNT (all participants with TBI had over 90% accuracy). However, participants with TBI were statistically less likely to correctly name an item relative to demographically matched NC participants.

Conclusions:
This study provides empirical evidence that naming difficulties persist into the chronic epoch of moderate–severe TBI. Despite high accuracy on the PNT, nearly 60% of these individuals with TBI reported continued difficulty with word finding in their daily lives. This discrepancy leaves open the possibility that, at this stage of injury, word-finding issues may be more reliably evoked and studied when the assessment is embedded within cognitively demanding and ecologically valid contexts (i.e., discourse, conversation). Further investigation of naming deficits in chronic moderate–severe TBI using a more naturalistic assessment is warranted.
Adaptive inverse control for trajectory tracking with dead‐zone nonlinearity under cyberattacks
Authors: Sabahi Farnaz 
Published: December 2024

AbstractControl systems rely heavily on the accuracy and reliability of sensor data; however, the integrity of these data can be compromised through spoofing attacks, leading to significant modelling errors that can render control impractical. In addition, centralized control poses a significant threat to system security. To address these issues, a distributed framework is suggested for a discrete‐time nonlinear system that encounters unknown dead‐zones at its input. The framework uses the inherent resilience of a decentralized peer‐to‐peer network to secure information exchange, eliminating the need for prior knowledge of system dynamics or potential attacks. The proposed framework performs two complex tasks: identifying the nonlinear system and dealing with the unknown nonlinearity at the input in the form of a dead‐zone. An adaptive dead‐zone inverse is used to handle the unknown nonlinearity at the input in the form of a dead‐zone and integrate blockchain technology to secure communication between components. The blockchain component ensures tamper‐proof data transmission and resistance to cyberattacks, providing both detection and defence mechanisms without prior knowledge of system dynamics or potential attacks. The actuator and plant components are matched and synchronized using a private network with static nodes, ensuring deterministic and well‐coordinated communication. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework both with and without blockchain integration, maintains stability and outperforms traditional methods in terms of robustness and accuracy, even when all parts of the framework are adjusted in response to attacks.

Published: December 2024

AbstractThis research explores the desorption mechanism and thermal stability of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS, CH3(CH2)17SiCl3) coating on quartz slides and in alkali‐metal vapour cells. The morphological thermal‐changes, energy dissipation diversity, and anti‐relaxation characteristic of OTS coatings before and after exposure to Cs atoms by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, water contact angle measurement, atomic force microscopy imaging, collision energy dissipation analysis, and free induction decay of Cs atoms are measured systematically. The results show that the OTS coatings exhibit the best thermal stability under the specific process conditions, and the homogeneous and dense structure makes the adsorption of alkali‐metal atoms more stable, which effectively reduces surface energy dissipation and prolongs the relaxation time of Cs atoms. The study provides certain reference for efficient anti‐relaxation coating fabrication and coated cell application.
Electron scattering in metals with a multiply connected Fermi surface in a quantizing magnetic field
Authors: Tarasov Yu. V. , Usatenko O. V. 
Published: December 2024

We calculate the intergroup relaxation time νinter −1 of electrons in metals, due to scattering by acoustic phonons in a quantizing magnetic field H. We study the dependence of νinter on temperature, and on the orientation and magnitude of H in two situations: a) For conductors with a low concentration of carriers (semimetals or degenerate semiconductors), b) For typical metals in which the separation between groups is small in comparison with the Fermi momenta. It is shown that the frequency νinter displays quantum oscillations associated with the density of states and also, under certain definite conditions, it is a sharply anisotropic function of the direction of H.
Simulation study on the effect of mesoporous layers architecture regulation on carrier transport characteristics of perovskite solar cells
Authors: Liu Yunlong , Yang Chongqiu , Li Hao , Song Rujun , Yang Xiaohui 
Published: December 2024

This article proposes to improve the charge carrier transport efficiency in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by adjusting the pore size of each mesoporous layer, so as to improve the performance of the device. The two-dimensional modeling of PSCs is carried out to clarify the relationship between the pore size of the mesoporous layer and the performance of PSCs. The simulation results show that the control of the pore size of the mesoporous layer can help to form a large potential difference and a deep potential well in the PSC and then improve the carrier transport in the PSC and the carrier collection in the PSC. When the pore size is 20 nm, the effect is the best, and the PSC performance is the best. This study provides theoretical and technical support for the research of mesoporous PSCs and promotes the basic research and commercialization of PSCs, which has important scientific significance and economic value.

Context To provide adequate dietary vitamin D in nursery piglets, 1,25(OH)2D3-glycoside could be a potential alternative to supplements currently in use. Aims The effect of this supplement on apparent total tract nutrient digestibility, growth performance, health status, and bone traits was assessed in nursery piglets. Methods Digestibility was assessed in 30 piglets (23.8 ± 3.32 kg), and growth performance in 135 weaned piglets (8.0 ± 0.53 kg). Both trials used randomized complete block designs based on bodyweight, with five treatments: −D3: no vitamin D supplementation; +D3: 100% of the vitamin D requirement supplied as cholecalciferol; and +D3 + 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 μg of 1,25(OH)2D3-glycoside. Key results From Day 21 to 35, piglets fed D3 + 1.0 diet showed greater average daily gain compared to −D3 or D3 + 1.5, and a greater average daily feed intake was observed in piglets fed +D3, D3 + 0.5, and D3 + 1.0 compared to −D3 or D3 + 1.5. From Day 0 to 7, diarrhoea prevalence was lower in piglets fed D3 + 1.0 compared to −D3, D3 + 0.5, and D3 + 1.5. Across the entire period, animals fed D3 + 1.0 had lower diarrhoea prevalence compared to D3 + 0.5. Serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations was lowest in −D3 piglets. Leukocyte concentrations were greater in piglets on D3 + 1.0 than with D3 + 1.5, whereas eosinophil concentrations were lowest in piglets fed D3 + 0.5. Alkaline phosphatase activity was higher in piglets on +D3 than with D3 + 0.5 or D3 + 1.5. The greatest and lowest bone Ca contents were observed in treatments D3 + 1.5 and D3 + 0.5, respectively. The bone magnesium contents was lowest in piglets fed -D3. Conclusions Adding 1,25(OH)2D3-glycoside to diets containing adequate vitamin D contents as cholecalciferol did not increase serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations, but physiological and metabolic parameters were improved and, in general, 1.0 μg of 1,25(OH)2D3-glycoside showed the best effects on performance, serum vitamin D, health status, and bone traits. Implications This research has provided new information on the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3-glycoside supplementation in diets for nursery piglets and has shown its potential use for bolstering general health.
Generative AI’s recolonization of EFL classrooms
Authors: Stewart Nicola , Zheng Yangsheng (Danson) 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Continuation writing was recently introduced as a new element of China’s English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
assessment. The assessment task requires students to complete the story within a set word limit. Preparing students for this task
is challenging for Chinese EFL teachers, as little pedagogical guidance is supplied. Given the recent trend of incorporating
Digital Multimodal Composing (DMC) in Chinese EFL classrooms, using generative AI to provide sample writings presents a potential
option.. This process could be viewed as students creating mentor texts to inform their writing development. We argue that
AI-generated continuation writing samples are predominantly built with complex but culturally hollow sentences. Particularly,
AI-generated samples may prioritize “native-speakerism” in which local cultures are under-represented. Integrating AI-generated
continuation writing samples without cultural awareness risks unintended recolonization of EFL classrooms. We illustrate our
argument with data generated via AI chatbots. We mobilize Hallidayan systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to identify patterns in
complex AI-generated sample texts. This study highlights potential risks when the dominant power reproduced by the language
patterns in AI-generated texts is not critically considered.
Minority language rights at a deadlock
Authors: Climent-Ferrando Vicent 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article analyses the European Union’s (EU) approach to the protection of regional or minority languages (RMLs) over the decade 2013 to 2023. It starts by providing a succinct overview of minority language rights in the international arena and focuses its analysis on the European Union, more specifically on the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. The article notes the downward trend in minority language promotion in Europe and highlights the mismatch between the bottom-up, societal demands claiming more support for RMLs and the top-down approach, which shows increasing reluctance to intervene in minority language protection at EU level, on the grounds that languages remain a competence of Member States.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The extreme climatic conditions in cold regions place higher demands on power transmission, making it urgent to adopt transmission conductors with higher efficiency and minimal environmental impact. This paper conducts a finite element simulation analysis of a new energy-efficient conductor, the JLHA3-275 medium-strength aluminum alloy conductor, under load conditions in the harsh climate of Heilongjiang. A solid finite element model of the medium-strength aluminum alloy conductor was established, and its internal structure was meticulously simulated. The study analyzed the radial temperature distribution and stress distribution of the conductor under cold conditions and yielded the following results: when the temperature ranged from -40°C to -20°C, the overall temperature of the conductor increased by 58°C, and the conductor stress decreased by 40.1 MPa. As the current-carrying capacity increased, the radial temperature difference of the conductor increased from 3.43°C to 10.42°C, and the conductor stress increased with the radial temperature difference. Additionally, the conductor stress decreased as the number of layers increased.

Abstract
To optimize the injection rate of hybrid insulators during the injection molding process, this paper constructs a common hybrid insulator injection simulation model based on Moldflow software and analyzes the distribution of stresses during the injection molding process of hybrid insulators under three injection rates of 40/50/60 (cm3/s). The results show that the filling effect is uniform at the injection rate of 50 cm3/s and the maximum filling pressure and clamping force peaks are the smallest, which are 54.53 MPa and 601.2 T, respectively.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Coating silicone rubber on the surface of porcelain insulators not only retains the stable and reliable mechanical properties of porcelain insulators but also gives them excellent resistance to pollution flashover. However, the interface between the glaze layer and the silicone rubber layer of porcelain insulators may become their electrical weak point. This paper analyzes the difference between the production process of hybrid insulators and factory compounding insulators and carries out interface tests before and after boiling on bar samples. The interface bonding strength of hybrid insulators before and after boiling has no decrease, while the factory composite insulators are easily penetrated by dyes after boiling. Dense small blisters appear at the interface, and the leakage current of the factory compounding insulators is much larger than that of the hybrid insulators after boiling for 100 h. The results of the interface test show that the interface characteristics of the hybrid insulators are better than the factory composite insulators in resisting the aging of water boiling.
