Water Mass Transformation and Its Relationship With the Overturning Circulation in the Eastern Subpolar North Atlantic
Authors: Fu Yao , Lozier M. Susan , Majumder Sudip , Petit Tillys 
Published: December 2024

AbstractA recent study using the first 21 months of the OSNAP time series revealed that the export of dense waters in the eastern subpolar North Atlantic―as part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC)―can be almost wholly attributed to surface‐forced water mass transformation (SFWMT) in the Irminger and Iceland basins, thus suggesting a minor role for other means of transformation, such as diapycnal mixing. To understand whether this result is valid over a period that exceeds the current observational record, we use four different ocean reanalysis products to investigate the relationship between surface buoyancy forcing and dense water production in this region. We also reexplore this relationship with the now available 6‐year OSNAP time series. Our analysis finds that although surface transformation in the eastern subpolar gyre dominates the production of deep waters, mixing processes downstream of the Greenland Scotland Ridge are also responsible for the production of waters carried within the AMOC's lower limb both in the observations and reanalyses. Further analysis of the reanalyses shows that SFWMT partly explains MOC interannual variability, the remaining portion can be attributed to basin storage and mixing. Compared to the observations, the reanalyses exhibit stronger MOC variance but comparable SFWMT variance on interannual timescales.

Published: December 2024

AbstractA high-fat diet (HFD) can induce airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in obese mice, independent of allergic sensitization. This study aimed to identify the key molecules related to AHR in HFD-induced obese mice. In a cluster analysis of time series gene expression in the adipose and lung tissues of HFD-induced obese mice, we identified the Caspase Recruitment Domain Family Member 11 (Card11) gene as an essential molecule. We measured CARD11 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from obese individuals with asthma and performed Card11 signal inhibition in HFD-induced obese mice via Card11 siRNA. Card11 expression was significantly increased in M1 macrophages (IL-1β+CD11c+CD206- in CD11b+) in adipose tissue and in ILC3s (RORγt+ in IL7R+ of Lin-) in lung tissue from HFD-induced obese mice. In addition, CARD11+ populations among ILC3s and LPS-stimulated IL-1β+CD16+ monocytes from the PBMCs of obese individuals with asthma were significantly greater than those from obese controls or nonobese individuals with asthma. AHR in HFD-induced obese mice disappeared when we inhibited the Card11 signaling pathway by administering Card11 siRNA during the first or last seven weeks of the 13-week HFD feeding. Finally, we confirmed that Card11 siRNA decreased the number of M1 macrophages in adipose tissue and the number of ILC3s in lung tissue in vitro. Card11 significantly contributes to the development of AHR in HFD-induced obese mice by affecting immune cells in both adipose and lung tissues. The middle stage of HFD feeding seemed to be critical for these processes.

Abstract
Background
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a leading cause of hospitalization during the first week of life. Recent research suggest that phototherapy, the standard treatment, can be safely and effectively administered at home. Some Dutch hospitals have already adopted home-based phototherapy. The TREAT Jaundice@home study aims to contribute to its broader implementation across the Netherlands. Understanding the perspectives, perceptions, and needs of healthcare professionals is essential for facilitating this implementation.

Methods
This cross-sectional survey targeted pediatricians, midwives, and maternity care assistants with and without prior experience with phototherapy at home. The 82-item questionnaire covered respondent background, experience, interests, motivation, responsibilities, logistics, collaboration, knowledge, indications and contraindications, financial aspects, and implementation readiness.

Results
The study included responses from 16 pediatricians, 90 community midwives, and 514 maternity care assistants. Findings indicate a positive reception of phototherapy at home, regardless of prior experience. The majority expressed satisfaction, recognized potential benefits, and/or demonstrated a willingness to adopt this innovation. Key challenges identified include the need for information, the lack of guidelines, coordination and collaboration issues, and concerns about financial compensation.

Discussion
Phototherapy at home is well-received by healthcare professionals. Addressing the identified challenges is imperative for successful implementation, ultimately benefiting neonates, their families, and healthcare systems.

Impact

Phototherapy at home is well-received and perceived as beneficial by healthcare professionals with and without prior experience

Key challenges include the need for better knowledge and guidelines, coordination and collaboration issues among healthcare professionals, and concerns about financial compensation

Addressing these challenges through comprehensive information, standardized protocols, improved collaboration, and adequate financial compensation is essential to successfully implement phototherapy at home on a larger scale
Self-Diagnosis of Autism: What Is the Speech-Language Pathologist's Role?
Authors: Coburn Kelly L. 
Published: December 2024

Purpose:
Given serious barriers to formal diagnosis of autism, especially for adults, many members of the autistic community recognize and accept self-diagnosis as a valid means of determining autistic identity. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have responsibilities to support communication between individuals and groups, regardless of neurotype, identity, or diagnostic status. Therefore, SLPs should be familiar with the phenomenon of autism self-diagnosis and consider how it relates to our obligations to act with professional integrity and cultural humility.
This article aims to address a gap in the SLP evidence base by summarizing research findings and illuminating client and cultural perspectives. The article outlines challenges and opportunities for SLP clinical practice and clinical education. Professional, legal, and cultural considerations are included.

Conclusions:
SLPs must understand self-diagnosis of autism as a matter of professional responsibility and cultural humility, as described in our Scope of Practice and Code of Ethics. Despite the barriers to support presented by the lack of a formal autism diagnosis, SLPs are responsible for providing communication supports to people who need them, regardless of the etiology of those communication needs.
Réorienter les pressions musculaires avec une gouttière myofonctionnelle oro-faciale pour traiter une malocclusion de classe III fonctionnelle
Authors: Amat Philippe , Bounoure Guy , Soyer Yves 
Published: December 2024

Le port d’une gouttière de rééducation préfabriquée (GRP), associé à la rééducation myofonctionnelle oro-faciale (RMOF) des musculatures labio-linguo-juguales, peut permettre aux muscles oro-faciaux de pleinement jouer leur rôle conformateur des arcades alvéolo-dentaires, et de corriger une malocclusion de classe III fonctionnelle.
Un patient âgé de 12 ans et 10 mois présente une malocclusion de classe 3 en denture adulte jeune avec la présence de diastèmes interdentaires à l’arcade mandibulaire et un proglissement mandibulaire. L’ analyse orthognathique de Delaire montre une classe III squelettique modérée associée à une promandibulie, une antécondylie, une bi-vestibuloversion incisive et à une pro-alvéolie mandibulaire.
C’est une forme clinique accessible à une prise en charge isolée par RMOF assistée par GRP. Pour recouvrer un guide antérieur fonctionnel et des rapports d’occlusion en classe 1 d’Angle molaire et canine, il a été demandé au patient de porter une GRP en port nocturne ainsi que 2 à 4 heures en port diurne pendant les six premiers mois, et de suivre un protocole de RMOF. A partir de la fin du sixième mois, le port de la GRP a été maintenu en port nocturne pendant trois mois supplémentaires. La GRP utilisée était une Gouttière Myofonctionnelle Oro-faciale (GMO). Cette nouvelle GRP conjugue efficacité et simplicité d’utilisation. Elle répond à l’objectif d’optimisation du cadre structural de fonctionnement oro-facial et de guidage de l’expression des pressions musculaires oro-faciales vers les structures dento-alvéolaires, en fonction des changements souhaités.
Pneumonien durch schleichende Aspiration – eine diagnostische und therapeutische Herausforderung
Authors: Ewig Santiago , Gatermann Sören , Wiesweg Kai 
Published: December 2024

ZusammenfassungFormen der akuten Aspirationspneumonie (AP) umfassen die Aspiration größerer Mengen dem Magen zugeführter Substanzen und die im Rahmen einer schleichenden Aspiration oropharyngealen Sekrets entstehenden Pneumonien.Schleichenden Aspirationen liegt eine Dysphagie, ggf. zusammen mit einem eingeschränkten Hustenreflex, zugrunde. Ein hohes Lebensalter, häufig zusammen mit schwerer Komorbidität und eingeschränkter Funktionalität begünstigen die Entstehung von Aspirationspneumonien.Daher ist die schleichende Aspiration eine häufige Ursache der ambulant erworbenen Pneumonie des Menschen in höherem Lebensalter, ebenso aber auch der nosokomialen Pneumonie. An eine AP ist darüber hinaus immer bei rezidivierenden Pneumonien zu denken.Zur Akutbehandlung gehören über die antimikrobielle Therapie hinaus eine Atem- und eine Physiotherapie. Zudem sollten alle Patienten mit schleichender Aspiration bzw. AP einer Schluckuntersuchung und bei bestehender Dysphagie auch einer Schlucktherapie zugeführt werden. Diese kann im Rahmen einer logopädischen Therapie restituierende, kompensatorische und adaptierende Verfahren einschließen.
An Evaluation of Language Development and Working Memory in Children with Hearing Loss

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Background Children with hearing loss (HL) have difficulty in performing the complex functions of language, especially in noisy environments. Cognitive processes such as working memory and short-term memory are effective on individual differences in language skills in children with HL.
Purpose The present study aimed to evaluate the vocabulary and syntax skills in language development areas and working memory of children with HL and to compare these results with those of their peers with normal hearing (NH).
Research Design In this study, a causal-comparative research model was used to measure vocabulary and syntax skills, which are among the working memory and language development skills of children with NH and those with HL.
Study Sample A total of 88 children, 44 children with HL aged 60 to 107 (months) and age- and gender-matched 44 children with NH, were included in the study.
Intervention Evaluation was made in two sessions of 20 minutes for each participant.
Data Collection and Analysis The language development and working memory of 44 children with HL and 44 children with NH were evaluated and the two groups were compared with each other. The Working Memory Scale (WMS) was used to evaluate the working memory of the participants and three subtests (vocabulary, sentence repetition, and sentence comprehension) of the Test of Language Development-Primary Fourth Edition: Turkish Version (TOLD-P:4) were used to evaluate language development. SPSS 23.0 program was used in the analysis of the data.
Results Children with HL obtained lower scores than their peers with NH in all three TOLD-P subtests. Children with HL obtained significantly lower scores in WMS verbal memory and general WMS scores compared with NH children. A positive correlation was found between WMS Verbal Memory Scores and TOLD-P sentence comprehension and sentence repetition scores. WMS Visual Memory Scores predicted the group with HL and all TOLD-P scores and Verbal Memory Scores predicted the group with NH.
Conclusion Working memory skills are the predictor of language comprehension, reasoning, learning, literacy skills, and language development. Thus, including working memory skills as well as language skills in the education programs of children with HL contributes to the children's development.
Bilateral Cochlear Implants and Bimodal Hearing: A Comparison of Quality of Life
Authors: Lewis Jessica H. , Castellanos Irina , Tamati Terrin N. , Moberly Aaron C. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Background Despite significant advances in the field of cochlear implants (CIs), there is no widely accepted criterion for when to counsel on bilateral CIs in adults. This is partly due to conflicting findings on the advantages of bilateral CIs versus bimodal hearing (i.e., CI with a contralateral hearing aid). Because of this, clinicians rely on a poorly defined combination of clinical measures and patient discussion to evaluate a patient's listening needs and preferences. Patients' needs and preferences are often used to guide recommendations on whether bilateral CIs or bimodal hearing is best for that individual, suggesting that an in-depth comparison of each group's self-reported outcomes is warranted.
Purpose Given the limited number of studies directly comparing quality of life (QoL) in bimodal and bilateral patients, the current study conducted a preliminary comparison of self-reported outcomes to better understand patient-reported benefits of each listening configuration.
Research Design This was a between-subjects comparison.
Study Sample Fifteen bimodal and nine bilateral adult CI users made the study sample.
Data Collection and Analysis Participants completed the Cochlear Implant Quality of Life (CIQOL) Profile 35. For group comparison purposes, monosyllabic word recognition and nonverbal intelligence were measured. Independent samples t-tests with Holm–Bonferroni corrections were used to compare bimodal and bilateral patients across domains of the CIQOL.
Results Bilateral CI users self-reported better environmental, emotional, social, and global QoL when compared to bimodal users. The groups did not differ on age, nonverbal intelligence, speech recognition abilities, and duration of hearing loss; however, bimodal users had less experience listening with their CI than the bilateral CI users.
Conclusion Bilateral CI users showed widespread advantages in QoL when compared to bimodal users. Bilateral CI users self-reported significantly better environmental QoL which conflicts with previous in-lab and self-report results suggesting a bimodal advantage. Additionally, due to a lack of current literature, it is unclear why a bilateral advantage is observed for emotional and social QoL. Results of the current study not only provide additional support on the benefits of bilateral implantation but also stress the need to further explore the self-reported benefits of each listening configuration.
Sharing the vulnerable self
Authors: Tufi Stefania 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The article focuses on Guardia Piemontese/La Gàrdia, an Occitan-speaking town in Calabria (Southern Italy), where
the semiotic landscape is constructed through modalities of material historiography revolving around an episode of brutal violence
dating back to the sixteenth century. The public documentation of the episode through both verbal signs and other semiotic objects
contributes to the everyday construction of vulnerability. This process is underpinned by discourses of resistance articulated in
unsanitised language that disrupts passive emotional responses to imagined trauma and facilitates the ethical act of naming
wrongs. In the everyday sharing of the local history of suffering, past and present vulnerabilities are intertwined in spatial and
embodied narratives that generate new forms of energy directed at building a better future.
Argument indexation on verbs in Pangkhua and South Central Tibeto-Burman (Kuki‑Chin)
Authors: Akter Mohammed Zahid 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Both Pangkhua and South Central languages exhibit an elaborate indexation of arguments on verbs. Pangkhua shares
many of the characteristics of argument indexation with other languages in South Central while showing a relatively more
innovative pattern in this domain (verbal argument indexation). In South Central, major tendencies of argument indexation include
the loss of archaic patterns in mostly Central languages as opposed to Northwestern and Peripheral languages, the retention of
archaic forms in mostly negative constructions, and the relatively higher complexity in 1st person and 2nd person argument
indexation than in 3rd person. There is a notable affinity between a few Central and Peripheral languages in the
grammaticalization of directional markers as argument indexes. This affinity in specific functional domains indicates the
likelihood of language contact at a post proto-SC period.
Iconicity of modified reduplication in five Himalayan languages
Authors: Yliniemi Juha 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Although the iconicity of reduplication has been addressed by many researchers, not enough attention has been paid
to the distinct character of modified reduplication in opposition to full reduplication. Modified reduplication is here defined as
the juxtaposition of two similar but not identical phonological forms which differ in vowel quality (e.g. English
chit-chat, Lhasa Tibetan zam zom ‘careless work’, Tshangla napanopo
‘silly’) or in initial consonant (e.g. English hotchpotch, Lhasa Tibetan ’a la ma la ‘confused,
unconnected, irregular’). This paper describes the uses of modified reduplication in five languages spoken in the Himalayas:
Central Tibetan (bod), Denjongke (sip, Tibetic), Lhomi (lhm, Tibetic), Tshangla (tsj, Sino-Tibetan, Bodish) and Duhumbi (cvg,
Kho-Bwa). The data, which come both from published sources (Bodt 2020, Naga & Rigzin 1994, Yliniemi 2021,
Nitartha online dictionary of Tibetan) and heretofore unpublished material, show that modified reduplication in the aforementioned
languages is associated with four types of iconicity: (1) duality/plurality of similar but not identical sounds (e.g. Denjongke
tʽaŋtʽiŋ ‘cling clang’), (2) duality/plurality of similar but not identical items (e.g. Denjongke
dakdok ‘occurring as an assortment of small items of various sizes’), (3) duality/plurality of similar but
not identical locations (e.g. Tibetan thar thor ‘scattered’), also suggesting motion between locations (e.g.
Tibetan lang ling ‘drifting, swinging’), and (4) nonnormativity arising from the comparison of two similar but
non-identical forms (e.g. Tshangla thapathopo ‘slow-witted’, zhalangzholong ‘shapeless; useless
[of people]’). In four of the five languages (others than Lhomi) a~o vowel modification is strongly associated
with nonnormativity.
The Collector and the End of Beauty
Authors: Castelli Alberto 
Published: December 2024

AbstractIn the twenty-first century to answer the question “Is it art at all?” has become a matter of heteronomy. The work of art is subject to historical accidentalities that define aesthetic criteria. Meanwhile, beauty is no longer part of the definition of art. John Fowles’s novel The Collector engages the reader with the story of a kidnapping, a postmodern enterprise where reality and fiction overlap, making it impossible for the reader to distinguish the boundaries of each. However, the dynamic relationship of Miranda and Clegg can also be read as the historical clash between the modernist avant-gardes versus the postmodern conceptual art, with Miranda’s final death symbolizing the end of art.

Abstract
Since 1968, the United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries (USTUR) has studied the biokinetics and tissue dosimetry of uranium and transuranium elements in nuclear workers. As part of the USTUR collaboration with the Million Person Study of Low-Dose Health Effects, radiation dose to different parts of the human heart is being estimated for workers with documented intakes of 239Pu or 226Ra. The study may be expanded for workers with intakes of 238U and other radionuclides. The distribution of radionuclides, expressed in terms of concentration (Bq per kg of tissue) serves as an important parameter for estimating radiation dose. Based on available organs from workers who donated their bodies or tissues for research, nine undissected hearts were selected: seven from USTUR registrants with plutonium exposure (males) and two individuals with radium intakes (female and male). For the plutonium workers, estimated 239Pu systemic deposition ranged from <74 Bq to 1765 Bq. Estimated 226Ra ‘initial systemic intakes’ were 10.1 MBq and 14.8 kBq for the female patient and male worker, respectively. Organ dissection was based on a heart model published by Borrego et al (2019 J. Radiol. Prot. 39 950–65). This model includes nine cardiac substructures: aorta, left main coronary artery, left atrium, left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery, left ventricle, right atrium, right coronary artery, and right ventricle. In addition, heart valves, fat attached to epicardium, fluids, and a coronary bypass graft were collected resulting in 111 samples that are currently undergoing radiochemical analyses and mass-spectrometric measurements. The 239Pu and 226Ra evaluations are not completed. The results of this study are intended to support radiation worker health studies by improving associated dosimetric and epidemiological models.
