Influence of Social Ties on Knowledge Sharing Among Academics: A Qualitative Case Study
Authors: Hernández-Soto Roberto , Gutiérrez-Ortega Mónica , Rubia-Avi Bartolomé , Fàbregues Sergi 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between social ties and knowledge sharing among academics in a research team. A qualitative case study approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews to uncover key factors that facilitate or hinder this relationship. The findings emphasize the crucial role of social ties in facilitating knowledge sharing among academics and highlight the central role of research team leaders in promoting and strengthening these ties. Informal contexts and routines as well as in-person attendance were identified as core elements in cultivating social ties. Conversely, limited face-to-face interactions, workplace location, barriers to participation in informal activities, and differences in worldviews were identified as potential deterrents to the formation of strong social ties. We conclude that institutional administrators and research team leaders should promote shared physical and digital spaces and informal social practices, which, in turn, facilitate personal relationships and stimulate collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The influence of career indecision on life satisfaction among grade 12 Ontario students: career choice support as mediator and moderator
Authors: Atitsogbe Kokou A. , Samson André , Sarazin-Frey-Pépin Étienne , El Hamdany Younes , McCrindle Connor Reeve 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis study investigated to what extent career decision-making difficulties (CDMD) impact students’ satisfaction with life and the potential mediating and moderating role of career choice support in this relation among 1094 grade 12 students in Ontario, Canada. Findings supported the negative impact of CDMD on students’ life satisfaction. Surprisingly, unlike counselors’ support, only teacher and parental support were significant drivers of students’ life satisfaction, with parental support exhibiting a solid effect. Furthermore, although support from each stakeholder partially mediated between CDMD and life satisfaction, parental support was identified as the strongest in reducing the negative impact of difficulties on students’ life satisfaction. Moderation effects were not supported.

Published: December 2024

AbstractProtecting sensitive logic functions in ASICs requires side-channel countermeasures. Many gate-level masking styles have been published, each with pros and cons. Some styles such as RSM, GLUT, and ISW are compact but can feature 1st-order leakage. Some other styles, such as TI, DOM, and HPC are secure at the 1st-order but incur significant overheads in terms of performance. Another requirement is that security shall be ensured even when the device is aged. Pre-silicon security evaluation is now a normatively approved method to characterize the expected resiliency against attacks ahead of time. However, in this regard, there is still a fragmentation in terms of leakage models, Points of Interest (PoI) selection, attack order, and distinguishers. Accordingly, in this paper we focus on such factors as they affect the success of side-channel analysis attacks and assess the resiliency of the state-of-the-art masking styles in various corners. Moreover, we investigate the impact of device aging as another factor and analyze its influence on the success of side-channel attacks targeting the state-of-the-art masking schemes. This pragmatic evaluation enables risk estimation in a complex PPA (Power, Performance, and Area) and security plane while also considering aging impacts into account. For instance, we explore the trade-off between low-cost secure styles attackable at 1st-order vs high-cost protection attackable only at 2nd-order.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Purpose
We investigated the validity of the German and Spanish translations of 35 new high functioning items added to the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) Physical Function item bank 2.0. We assessed differential item functioning (DIF) between three general population samples from Argentina, Germany, and the United States.

Methods
PROMIS Physical Function data was collected in online panels from 3601 individuals (mean age, 41.6 years old; range, 18–88 years; 53.7% female). Of these, 1001 participants completed the Spanish version, 1000 completed the German version, and 1600 completed the English version. DIF was assessed by a multiverse analysis that systematically varied analytic choices across the entire range of plausible options within the logistic ordinal regression framework.

Results
Translated items generally met the assumptions of unidimensionality, monotonicity, and local independence. The 272 different analyses suggest consistent DIF between languages in four items. Test characteristic curves suggested that the magnitude and impact of DIF on the test scores were negligible for all items at the test level. After correcting for potential DIF, we observed greater scoring for physical functioning in Argentina compared to the US, Cohen’s d = 0.25, [0.17, 0.33], and Argentina compared to Germany, Cohen’s d = 0.23, [0.15, 0.32].

Conclusions
Our findings support the universal applicability of PROMIS Physical Function items across general populations in Argentina, Germany, and the U.S. The sensitivity analyses indicate that the identification of DIF items was robust for different data analytic decisions. Multiverse analysis is a promising approach to address lack of clear cutoffs in DIF identification.
Effect of explant type and growth regulators on in vitro regeneration of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) Al-Amar rootstock

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Apricot is a highly recalcitrant species for shoot regeneration in addition the plant regeneration capacity is strongly genotype – dependent. Thus, this study aimed to establish in vitro regeneration of the Egyptian Al-Amar apricot rootstock. Two explant types (Cotyledon and hypocotyl) were cultured on woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with three concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ) in combination with eight concentration of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) or α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The cotyledons showed direct somatic organogenesis as the explants formed buds directly on regeneration media. The highest percentage of cotyledons producing buds was 78.00% when cultured on WPM containing 13.62 µM TDZ and 2.46 µM IBA. In contrast hypocotyls expressed indirect somatic organogenesis, as the explants produced callus first before bud formation. The highest percentage was 96.87% in hypocotyls cultured on WPM fortified with 15.89 µM TDZ and 1.61 µM NAA. The shoot proliferation was achieved when buds from cotyledons and hypocotyls were cultured on Soot Regeneration Medium (SRM) supplemented with 8.87 µM 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.54 µM NAA. The highest shoot formation with an average of 6.4 shoots per explant was obtained from hypocotyls, while an average of 2.0 shoots per explants was achieved from cotyledons. The regenerated shoots were rooted on WPM including 9.80 µM IBA. The results revealed that the regeneration of Al-Amar rootstock was more successful through hypocotyls and could therefore facilitate its genetic manipulation.
Wages and capital returns in a generalized Pólya urn
Authors: Gottfried Thomas , Grosskinsky Stefan 
Published: December 2024

AbstractIt is a widely observed phenomenon that wealth is distributed significantly more unequally than wages. In this paper we study this phenomenon using a new extension of Pólya’s urn, modelling wealth growth through wages and capital returns. We focus in particular on the role of increasing return rates on capital, which have been identified as a main driver of inequality, and labor share, the second main parameter of our model. We fit the parameters from real-world data in Germany, so that simulation results reproduce the empirical wealth distribution and recent dynamics in Germany quite accurately, and are essentially independent from initial conditions. Our model is simple enough to allow for a detailed mathematical analysis and provides interesting predictions for future developments and on the importance of wages and capital returns for wealth aggregation. We also provide an extensive discussion of the robustness of our results and the plausibility of the main assumptions used in our model, and identify possible policy implications.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Purpose
In image-guided surgery for breast cancer, the representation of the breast deformation between planning and surgery plays a key role. The breast deforms significantly and behaves as a fluid with some constraints. Concretely, the deep fat layer in the breast deforms fluidly due to its incomplete fixation to the chest wall, while the anchoring structures by fascia avoid excessive deformation. In this study, we propose a method to simulate the semi-fluid deformation of the breast, considering the fluidic properties of the adipose tissue under the constraints of the anchoring structures.

Methods
The proposed method prioritizes anatomical features of the breast, enhancing tissue mobility near the chest wall and modeling the anchoring structure of the fascia along the inframammary fold. To simulate semi-fluid deformation, constraint force from anchoring structure is applied to prone-positioned breast model, using a finite element method.

Results
The results of the evaluation indicate a tumor center registration error of 11.87 ± 4.05 mm. Additionally, we verified how semi-fluid representation affects the registration error. The tumor’s Hausdorff distance decreased from 12.89 ± 6.24 mm to 11.50 ± 4.38 mm with considering semi-fluidity.

Conclusion
The results showed that the use of semi-fluid representation tends to reduce registration errors. Therefore, it was suggested that the proposed method could improve the accuracy of breast posture conversion.
Familienerweiterung aus der Perspektive des Paares
Authors: Willen Sebastian 
Published: December 2024

Zusammenfassung
Die Zwei-Kind-Familie stellt ein in allen gesellschaftlichen Gruppen etabliertes und vielgelebtes Familienmodell dar. Obwohl der Wunsch nach einem zweiten Kind in der Bevölkerung weitverbreitet ist, sind empirische Forschungsarbeiten nur rudimentär vorhanden, die den Entscheidungsprozess für ein zweites Kind innerhalb von Paarbeziehungen untersuchen. Dies kann darauf zurückgeführt werden, dass im Vergleich zu einer Familiengründung mögliche Einschnitte in der Biografie des Einzelnen und im Zusammenleben der Partner ein wesentlich geringeres Ausmaß einnehmen. Auf Basis des Beziehungs- und Familienpanels („pairfam“) und unter Verwendung eines im Längsschnitt spezifizierten multivariaten Probit-Modells wird die Entscheidung für ein zweites Kind als das Resultat eines innerpartnerschaftlichen Aushandlungsprozesses analysiert. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass der Entscheidung für die Geburt eines zweiten Kindes eine wechselseitige Einflussnahme der Partner vorausgeht. Maßgeblich wird die Entscheidungsfindung vom Zeitpunkt der Geburt des ersten gemeinsamen Kindes und vom Alter des weiblichen Partners bestimmt. Des Weiteren erweisen sich eine traditionelle geschlechtsspezifische Arbeitsteilung bei gleichzeitiger Erwerbspartizipation der Frau sowie eine informelle Unterstützung aus dem sozialen Netzwerk des männlichen Partners als besonders förderlich für die Geburt eines zweiten gemeinsamen Kindes.
Religion Welcome Here: A Pluriversal Approach to Religion and Global Bioethics
Authors: Jecker N. S. , Atuire C. A. , Ravitsky V. , Ghaly M. , Vaswani V. , Voo T. C. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis paper sets forth and defends a pluriversal approach to religion in the context of an increasingly global bioethics. Section I introduces a pluriversal view as a normative technique for engaging across difference. A normative pluriversal approach sets five constraints: civility, change from within, justice, non-domination, and tolerance. Section II applies a pluriversal approach to religion. It argues that this approach is epistemically just, recognizes diverse standpoints, and represents a productive, preferred, way to tackle global bioethics concerns. Section II also considers an opposing viewpoint, which holds that religious perspectives have no place in bioethics. We show that this viewpoint would have adverse effects on bioethics publishing, conferencing, and training programmes. The paper concludes (in Section III) that bioethicists should engage with people who hold different worldviews, including religious worldviews, and should do so in accordance with pluriversal ethical constraints.
Parental Psychosocial Variables and Glycemic Control in T1D Pediatric Age: A Systematic Review
Authors: Costa Vasco , Pereira Bárbara , Patton Susana R. , Brandão Tânia 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
This review aimed to summarize the evidence regarding the relationship between parental psychosocial (e.g., fear of hypoglycemia, stress and family conflict) and glycemic outcomes in children between the age of 1–10 years old.

Recent Findings
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in young children can be very complex to manage for their parents since they are the main individuals responsible for T1D tasks. Also, parental psychological adjustment impacts children’s glycemic outcomes.

Summary
This systematic review was performed following the PRISMA guidelines. The search process was conducted in four databases from 2019 to 2024. From a total of 215 studies, 5 were included. We identified five studies that found direct associations between parental psychosocial variables and children's glycemic outcomes. These findings suggest a unidirectional perspective, evidencing the need to examine the longitudinal interplay between these variables. In sum, promoting parental psychological interventions may be fundamental for enhancing children’s glycemic outcomes.
Unveiling the research landscape of planetscope data in addressing earth-environmental issues: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Pham-Duc Binh , Nguyen Ho , Nguyen-Quoc Hau 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe PlanetScope (PS) satellite constellation, developed by Planet Labs Inc., represents a significant advancement in Earth observation, offering high spatial resolution and daily revisit capabilities. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of PS satellite imagery, exploring its utilization in scientific research from 2017 to 2023. Using data extracted from the Scopus database, 582 documents were analyzed to uncover the publication trends, key research disciplines, collaboration networks, and research themes related to PS imagery. The results highlight the increasing use of PS data in Earth and Planetary Sciences, Environmental Science, and Computer Science, with a notable concentration of research outputs from the United States, China, and Brazil. Furthermore, our findings indicate that PS data is applied in diverse fields, including land use/land cover classification, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and disaster assessment. Notably, machine learning techniques are increasingly applied to PS data, enhancing analysis capabilities. Despite the growing adoption of PS imagery, challenges related to data access, particularly in low-income regions, were identified, and PS data often plays a secondary or supplementary role in many studies. Recommendations for enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration, expanding open-access data programs, and integrating advanced processing techniques are proposed to maximize the impact of PS data in addressing global environmental challenges. This study provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of PS-based research, emphasizing the potential of PS data and identifying areas for future exploration.

Abstract
This study investigated the efficacy of tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for patients with relapsed and/or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) with poor prognostic factors, defined as performance status (PS) ≥ 2, multiple extranodal lesions (EN), chemorefractory disease, or higher lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Overall, the allo-SCT group demonstrated worse progression-free survival (PFS), higher non-relapse mortality, and a similar relapse/progression rate. Notably, the tisa-cel group showed better PFS than the allo-SCT group among patients with chemorefractory disease (3.2 vs. 2.0 months, p = 0.092) or higher LDH (4.0 vs. 2.0 months, p = 0.018), whereas PFS in the two cellular therapy groups was similar among those with PS ≥ 2 or multiple EN. Survival time after relapse post-cellular therapy in patients with poor prognostic factors was 1.6 with allo-SCT and 4.6 months with tisa-cel. These findings were confirmed in a propensity score matching cohort. In conclusion, tisa-cel resulted in better survival than allo-SCT in patients with poor prognostic factors. However, patients who relapsed post-cellular therapy had dismal outcomes regardless of therapy. Further strategies are warranted to improve outcomes in these patients.
N6-methyladenosine-modified SRD5A3, identified by IGF2BP3, sustains cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer

Published: December 2024

AbstractResistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy limits the clinical benefit to some bladder cancer patients, and understanding the epigenetic regulation mechanism of cisplatin (CDDP) resistance in bladder cancer from the perspective of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification may optimize CDDP-based treatments. The study identified SRD5A3 as an oncogene for bladder cancer and stabilized by a m6A reader, IGF2BP3, to sustain CDDP resistance. Our results revealed that the expression of SRD5A3 was elevated in human bladder cancer tissues and cell lines, and this elevation was more evident in CDDP-resistant T24 and 5637 cells. Results of CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, EdU staining, and flow cytometric analysis revealed that SRD5A3 knockdown and IGF2BP3 knockdown reduced cell proliferation and prevented chemoresistance in CDDP-resistant T24 and 5637 cells. Results of methylated RNA immunoprecipitation-PCR, RNA immunoprecipitation assay, and luciferase reporter assay showed IGF2BP3 recognized the SRD5A3 m6A modification and stabilized its mRNA. Nude mice implanted subcutaneously with CDDP-resistant T24 cells were injected intraperitoneally with CDDP (2 mg/kg) every 3 days for 35 days and the results demonstrated that SRD5A3 knockdown and IGF2BP3 knockdown effectively inhibited the tumor growth in subcutaneous implantation model. Collectively, the study unveils that IGF2BP3-mediated SRD5A3 m6A modification facilitates bladder cancer progression and induces CDDP resistance, providing rational therapeutic targets for bladder cancer patients.
The Value of Price
Authors: Baravalle Lorenzo , Jonathan Roffé Ariel , Luque Victor J. , Ginnobili Santiago 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe Price equation provides a comprehensive representation of evolutionary processes. Since its original formulation by George Price, it has been used to model a variety of phenomena in quantitative genetics and related fields. However, there is no consensus on the explanatory power of the equation. In this article we aim to clarify its place within modern evolutionary theory. To this end, we first state the basic concepts from which the Price equation can be derived as a theorem. From this axiomatization, we conclude that the Price equation is not explanatory in itself. It merely provides a phenomenological description of evolutionary processes. We argue that its role is analogous to that of Galilean kinematics in classical mechanics. Both the Price equation and Galilean kinematics function as conceptual frameworks that define the basic features of the behavior of a class of systems. Practitioners are encouraged to theorize further on these frameworks to find the possible explanation of this behavior in various specific scenarios. Thus, despite its phenomenological character, the Price equation integrates different fields of evolutionary biology by providing a common formalization of their shared explanandum.
