Poethical Force: Muriel Pic, Claudia Rankine, Rosa Alcalá

Published: December 2024

AbstractIt might seem like the focus on poetic documents in Chap. 6 neglects an important part of poetic production, and possibly the part that Henri Meschonnic is thinking of when he argues that any poem is the mutual transformation of forms of language and forms of life, namely the lyrical. How does the ‘objective’ dimension of documents relate to the ‘subjective’ lyric experience? As I will argue in this chapter, the opposition between documentary and lyric poetry is an artificial one that has been reinforced, in France, by the so-called war between the literalist and the lyric poets that Olivier Cadiot describes. Poetic documents reveal a documentary nature of poetry in which the account of a personal, subjective experience becomes intersubjective—shared and sharable. This documentary poetry therefore becomes a space for the lyrical and I will explore how it combines the ethical (as transformation of a form of life) and the poetic (as transformation of a form of language) in a common task.
Translations on Martyrdom During the Early Modern Persecution of Christians in Japan
Authors: Triplett Katja 
Published: December 2024

AbstractDas Kapitel untersucht die Entwicklung sprachlicher und kultureller Übersetzungen des Konzepts des Martyriums in Japan. Das Martyrium erfuhr im Katholizismus in Europa im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert eine Renaissance, sodass frühneuzeitliche jesuitische Japanischübersetzungen diesem Thema viele Seiten widmen, insbesondere in Hinblick auf die Verfolgung von Missionaren und Konvertiten in Japan. Der Erfolg der Mission ist in der klaren epistemischen Unterscheidung des katholischen Glaubens im Gegensatz zu traditionellen japanischen Religionen, vor allem dem Buddhismus zu sehen. Eine Möglichkeit, die Grenzen zwischen den ‚wahren‘ und den ‚falschen‘ Religionen zu markieren, bestand darin, ‚unzweideutige‘ Begriffe zu prägen. Als die japanischen Behörden beschlossen die christliche Religion zu verbieten, konnten Katholiken allerdings unter anderem durch die Verwendung solcher Begriffe aufgespürt werden.
Atahualpa versus Pizarro und Valverde, November 1532. Zur Übersetzung einer politischen Kommunikationssituation der kolonialen Eroberung Amerikas in historiographischen und enzyklopädischen Werken der Frühen Neuzeit (16.–18. Jahrhundert)
Authors: Lüsebrink Hans-Jürgen 
Published: December 2024

ZusammenfassungThe chapter is devoted to an event of lasting world-historical significance in all its translation-related facets and problems, which go hand in hand with external perception and descriptions from an outside perspective. The encounter between the Inca ruler Atahualpa and the Spanish conquistador Franzisco Pizarro in the Peruvian city of Cajamarca in 1532 can be considered a transcultural interaction and communication event sui generis. In contemporary and later accounts, it was subject to a range of different descriptions and interpretations in which translations played an important role. The chapter sheds light on the individual translation processes, dynamics, intentions, and competences in minute detail.
Revisiting the effects of cigarette taxation on smoking outcomes
Authors: Shrestha Vinish 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study reassesses the efficacy of cigarette taxation in curtailing smoking by leveraging recent advancements in the difference-in-differences (DiD) literature to account for heterogeneous treatment effects. Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Selected Metropolitan/Micropolitan Area Risk Trend (BRFSS SMART) for the sample periods 2004-2010 and 2015-2020, the study reveals three key findings. Firstly, the TWFE estimate for the 2004-2010 sample is only 48% of the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) estimate obtained through the DiD framework. Secondly, event-study-type estimates demonstrate a gradual increase in magnitude following the treatment year, highlighting dynamic treatment effects overlooked by the TWFE estimate. Third, the ATT estimate for the 2015-2020 sample is approximately 66% of the ATT estimate for the 2004-2010 sample. Overall, the study underscores the potential bias toward zero in elasticity estimates when relying solely on TWFE models.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
New surgeons experience heavy workload during robot-assisted surgery partially because they must use vision to compensate for the lack of haptic feedback. We hypothesize that providing realistic haptic feedback during dry-lab simulation training may accelerate learning and reduce workload during subsequent surgery on patients.

Methods
We conducted a single-blinded study with 12 general surgery residents (third and seventh post-graduate year, PGY) randomized into haptic and control groups. Participants performed five simulated bariatric surgeries on a custom inanimate simulator followed by live robot-assisted sleeve gastrectomies (RASGs) using da Vinci robots. The haptic group received naturalistic haptic feedback of instrument vibrations during their first four simulated procedures. Participants completed pre-/post-procedure STAI and post-procedure NASA-TLX questionnaires in both simulation and the operating room (OR).

Results
Higher PGY level (simulation: p < 0.001, OR p = 0.004), shorter operative time (simulation: p < 0.001, OR p = 0.003), and lower pre-procedure STAI (simulation: p = 0.003, OR p < 0.001) were significantly associated with lower self-reported overall workload in both operative settings; PGY-7 s reported about 10% lower workload than PGY-3 s. The haptic group had significantly lower overall covariate-adjusted NASA-TLX during the fourth (p = 0.03) and fifth (p = 0.04) simulated procedures and across all OR procedures (p = 0.047), though not for only the first three OR procedures. Haptic feedback reduced physical demand (simulation: p < 0.001, OR p = 0.001) and increased perceived performance (simulation: p = 0.031, OR p < 0.001) in both settings.

Conclusion
Haptic feedback of instrument vibrations provided during robotic surgical simulation reduces trainee workload during both simulation and live OR cases. The implications of workload reduction and its potential effects on patient safety warrant further investigation.

Abstract
The heart is a dynamic pump whose function is influenced by its mechanical properties. The viscoelastic properties of the heart, i.e., its ability to exhibit both elastic and viscous characteristics upon deformation, influence cardiac function. Viscoelastic properties change during heart failure (HF), but direct measurements of failing and non-failing myocardial tissue stress relaxation under constant displacement are lacking. Further, how consequences of tissue remodeling, such as fibrosis and fat accumulation, alter the stress relaxation remains unknown. To address this gap, we conducted stress relaxation tests on porcine myocardial tissue to establish baseline properties of cardiac tissue. We found porcine myocardial tissue to be fast relaxing, characterized by stress relaxation tests on both a rheometer and microindenter. We then measured human left ventricle (LV) epicardium and endocardium tissue from non-failing, ischemic HF and non-ischemic HF patients by microindentation. Analyzing by patient groups, we found that ischemic HF samples had slower stress relaxation than non-failing endocardium. Categorizing the data by stress relaxation times, we found that slower stress relaxing tissues were correlated with increased collagen deposition and increased α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) stress fibers, a marker of fibrosis and cardiac fibroblast activation, respectively. In the epicardium, analyzing by patient groups, we found that ischemic HF had faster stress relaxation than non-ischemic HF and non-failing. When categorizing by stress relaxation times, we found that faster stress relaxation correlated with Oil Red O staining, a marker for adipose tissue. These data show that changes in stress relaxation vary across the different layers of the heart during ischemic versus non-ischemic HF. These findings reveal how the viscoelasticity of the heart changes, which will lead to better modeling of cardiac mechanics for in vitro and in silico HF models.

Published: December 2024

AbstractAgricultural intensification is one of the main threats to steppe bird populations, leading to habitat degradation and the reduction of food resources. The Little Bustard (Tetrax tetrax), a highly endangered bird species in Europe, is particularly vulnerable to the loss of seminatural habitats containing such resources. Understanding its diet composition is crucial for the development of effective conservation strategies. Here, we describe Little Bustard diet composition and preferences during summer, which includes the chick rearing period, using DNA metabarcoding of faeces. Diet quality at this stage is critical for the adults to face reproduction costs (e.g. male display or parental investment by females) and for juveniles to ensure their survival and recruitment. Additionally, we identified arthropod taxa selected or avoided by Little Bustards by comparing the sequencing results with the estimated availability of these taxa in the study area (obtained from pitfall traps and sweep netting). Our findings suggest that arthropods are more relevant than plants in Little Bustard diet in this period and inform about the relevance of wild vs cultivated species in their diet. Among arthropods, the most commonly detected orders were Orthoptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera, while the most consumed plant families were Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Brassicaceae. The analyses of arthropod preferences showed that Little Bustards select Orthoptera, Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, and Dermaptera among insects and avoid Hymenoptera and Aranea. Our results reinforce the importance of natural vegetation patches as feeding habitats, but also of cultivated habitats like rain-fed alfalfa, if managed to resemble natural grasslands, where Little Bustards can find the arthropods needed.

Published: December 2024

AbstractNaturally occurring hydrous sulphate minerals bearing rock, sampled from a Martian analogue area, Kachchh, India was investigated for sequestration of metal ions of nuclear significance in view of waste management applications. Structural analyses revealed the presence of alunite group minerals (such as hydronium jarosite, alunite, natroalunite) along with a phyllosilicate mineral—kaolinite in the sample. Sorption performance assessment in batch mode for cesium (Cs) demonstrated the influence of initial sorbate concentration and solution pH on the uptake of metal ions. Equilibrium sorption data upon correlation with the theoretical isotherms showed better agreement with Langmuir model with a monalayer sorption capacity of 26.4 mg g−1 for Cs. Maximum uptake of metal ions in acidic pH is a signature of involvement of structural ions in the sorption process. EDXRF analysis demonstrated the loading of sorbate ions on the surface of sorbent after sorption. The studies highlight that the cation retention potential of naturally available hydrous sulphate minerals bearing rock could be instrumental for possible application of the material as barrier matrix to immobilize metal ions of nuclear importance in acidic conditions.

Abstract
In recent years, a notable diversification in the geographical representation of the World’s top universities could be observed. Chinese universities play an increasingly prominent role in these rankings, thus indicating that we might be in the midst of a regional shift in academic performance. To explore this dynamics, we analyze seven years’ worth of data used for university rankings by academic subjects from the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). We focus on China, Europe, the USA, and other global regions of the world. We find that China has indeed seen an unprecedented growth in Engineering and Life Sciences research, positioning itself rather firmly as a leader in these fields. Conversely, the USA leads in the Social Sciences, while Europe excels in Geography, Ecology, Public and Business Administration, and Pharmacy. Other regions worldwide stand out in Transportation Science, Nursing, and Hospitality & Tourism Management. These results reveal the evolving landscape of global academic research, highlighting regional strengths and emerging world trends in subject-specific excellence.
Learning distribution-free anchored linear structural equation models in the presence of measurement error

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study tackles the challenge of identifiability in distribution-free anchored linear structural equation models (SEMs), where the observed variables are imperfect measures for the target variables, and the error distributions are not restricted to being Gaussian. It introduces the geometry-faithfulness assumption, ensuring that partial correlations serve as direct indicators of d-separation/connection. The study establishes the identifiability of distribution-free anchored linear SEMs under the same identifiability conditions for anchored Gaussian linear SEMs, but by replacing the faithfulness assumption with the geometry-faithfulness assumption. Moreover, it shows that the learning algorithm leveraging the PC algorithm with Fisher’s z-test, originally designed for anchored Gaussian linear SEMs, remains applicable and effective for distribution-free anchored linear SEMs. It also provides statistical guarantees for the proposed algorithm, including the strong geometry-faithfulness assumption, ensuring its consistency. These theoretical contributions are validated through extensive numerical experiments and the analysis of real galaxy data.
Network synchronizability enhancement via adding antagonistic interactions

Published: December 2024

AbstractWe discover a “less-is-more” effect that adding local antagonistic interactions (negative edge weights) can enhance the overall synchronizability of a dynamical network system. To explain this seemingly counterintuitive phenomenon, a condition is established to identify those edges the weight reduction of which improves the synchronizability index of the underlying network. We further reveal that this condition can be interpreted from the perspective of resistance distance and network community structure. The obtained result is also verified via numerical experiments on a 14-node network and a 118-node network. Our finding brings new thoughts and inspirations to the future directions of optimal network design problems.
Unified regularity measures for sample-wise learning and generalization

Published: December 2024

AbstractFundamental machine learning theory shows that different samples contribute unequally to both the learning and testing processes. Recent studies on deep neural networks (DNNs) suggest that such sample differences are rooted in the distribution of intrinsic pattern information, namely sample regularity. Motivated by recent discoveries in network memorization and generalization, we propose a pair of sample regularity measures with a formulation-consistent representation for both processes. Specifically, the cumulative binary training/generalizing loss (CBTL/CBGL), the cumulative number of correct classifications of the training/test sample within the training phase, is proposed to quantify the stability in the memorization-generalization process, while forgetting/mal-generalizing events (ForEvents/MgEvents), i.e., the misclassification of previously learned or generalized samples, are utilized to represent the uncertainty of sample regularity with respect to optimization dynamics. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approaches for mini-batch stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization are validated through sample-wise analyses. Further training/test sample selection applications show that the proposed measures, which share the unified computing procedure, could benefit both tasks.

Published: December 2024

AbstractTaklimakan dust is known to be transported over long distances to the Tibetan Plateau, significantly impacting its climates and ecosystems. However, information on how dust aerosols affect airborne microorganisms is still lacking. In the summer of 2019, we simultaneously collected air samples from the Tibetan Plateau (Ali) and the Taklimakan Desert (Minfeng and Tazhong) and analyzed them using high‐throughput DNA sequencing techniques. We found that the diversity of airborne bacteria decreased by 42.2% during dust events. Taklimakan dust contributed 85.4% ± 2.1% of airborne bacteria on the Plateau. Moreover, the potential pathogens and bacterial ice nuclei (IN) in the Plateau increased by 16.4% and 73.8%, respectively. Our study provides novel insights into the impact of dust‐coated bacteria on the climate and ecosystem across the Tibetan Plateau.
Use of Satellite, Surface Observations and Numerical Weather Prediction Model Data to Improve Cloud Base Height and Cloud Base Vertical Velocity Estimation
Authors: Haliczer David T. , Mecikalski John R. , Kollias Pavlos 
Published: December 2024

AbstractCloud base height (CBH) and cloud base vertical velocity (CBVV) are important variables that impact the overall climate in a region as they influence the formulation, longevity, and evolution of clouds. Retrieval of both parameters have long used ground instrumentation (e.g., Doppler lidar (DL), ground base radar); however, retrieving CBH from satellites is particularly challenging given that space‐based instruments only observe cloud tops. In this manuscript, CBH is retrieved using a multi‐linear regression equation, while CBVV used a random forests model. Both retrievals combine satellite and numerical weather prediction data. The satellite data used are the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite imagery, while measurements of CBH and CBVV include DL and radiosonde data at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement observatory. Data from 83 summer days (May‐August) in 2018–2021 featuring cumulus clouds forced by solar heating were examined and used to train the models, with years 2022–2023 used for validation. Various spatial domains were defined with one large (2.4° longitude by 2.0° latitude) SGP domain being split into smaller sections (smallest being 0.99° and 0.61° longitude and latitude respectably). CBH and CBVV values obtained from the DL as compared to the models show root mean square errors between 150 and 200 m, with CBVV values between 0.45 and 1 ms−1. It was found that the CBH formulation performs well over all domains, while the CBVV retrievals become less accurate due to more turbulence being introduced into the observations as the number of DL stations decreases in the smaller domains.
Detachment Faulting and Mantle Exhumation Beneath an Allochthonous Carbonate Cover: Insights From the Gouffre Georges (Lherz Massif, Pyrenees, France)

Published: December 2024

AbstractThe Cretaceous North Pyrenean hyperextended rift system recorded HT‐LP metamorphism in the pre‐ and syn‐rift sedimentary cover during lithospheric mantle exhumation. We describe and analyze for the first time the rocks exposed in the Gouffre Georges, a deep cave in the Lherz peridotite massif (Ariège, France). The cave walls expose the lithospheric detachment between the Mesozoic pre‐rift sedimentary cover hanging wall and the mantle rock footwall. Extensional structures have been preserved despite the positive inversion of the North Pyrenean rift system during the Pyrenean Orogeny. The extension direction is downdip WNW, consistent with rifting models of transtensional left‐lateral regime during the final stage of rifting. Field, microstructural, and petrographic data document a continuum of extensional deformation from high‐ to low‐temperature conditions. This detachment fault underwent high‐temperature hydrothermalism, with a possible contribution from evaporite‐born fluids. New observations also strongly suggest the formation of a hot, low‐viscosity material along the detachment interface. This material was then injected in the uppermost part of the peridotite body during the final stage of mantle exhumation. We consider three possible scenarios: (a) partial melting at the base of the pre‐hyperextension carbonates; (b) precipitation from carbonate‐rich hydrothermal fluids; and (c) flow of hyper‐ductile marble due to extreme plasticity of calcite under high temperature. Likewise, the base of the pre‐hyperextension cover recorded intense hydraulic and tectonic brecciation during extension. As indicated by their lack of syn‐rift sedimentary reworking, the Lherz peridotite recorded partial exhumation at the base of the Jurassic sedimentary cover, without exposure to the seafloor.
