Denial, Fantasy, and Erasure in Five Hundred Years of Music Discourse
Authors: Schumann Garrett 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article traces five hundred years of European and American academic and public music discourse through two disparate examples: Vicente Lusitano, a sixteenth-century Portuguese composer of African descent, and anti-Black comments directed at musicians Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones in the 1984 documentary I Love Quincy. These threads converge in the present day, as discourse involving Lusitano increasingly contains a form of anti-Blackness that parallels what is presented by the film’s white director, Eric Lipmann, and more recent popular music discourse that echoes his perspective. Moreover, the longitude of Lusitano’s experience as a historical figure offers a unique vantage from which we can observe recursive rhetorical devices – denial, fantasy, and erasure – over time and in varied cultural contexts. Because these tropes support contemporary American anti-Black viewpoints as well as similarly flawed and destructive argumentation from historically distant European societies, we can see the continuity of denial, fantasy, and erasure in five hundred years of discourse as a sign that these musical cultures favor domination.
Crossing the cultural bridge: The role of inhibitory control during second language metaphor comprehension
Authors: Chen Jiayan , Lv Junmei , Chen Baoguo 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Previous research has found that metaphor comprehension is often more challenging in L2 than in L1 because of the prioritization of literal meanings, but the effect of cross-cultural conceptual differences and the role of inhibitory control during L2 metaphor processing remain uninvestigated. We explored these through a metaphor-induced lexical forgetting paradigm (Experiment 1), a metaphor interpretation task (Experiment 2), and an eye-tracking reading task (Experiment 3) to evaluate competing theories. Inhibitory control did not play a significant role during reading culturally congruent metaphors as it did for culturally incongruent ones. However, interpreting both kinds of L2 metaphors involved more inhibitory control than literals, even after explicit explanatory contexts. Although literal meanings (and culturally incongruent L1 metaphorical meanings) of L2 metaphors may always be activated, inhibition involvement depends on both task requirements and metaphor properties. These can be explained by the extended graded salience view and the predictive processing framework.

Published: February 2025

AbstractEarly detection of emerging agricultural drought conditions is challenging but crucial for ensuring sustainable agriculture and global food security. Existing drought early warning systems utilize hydrometeorological or greenness‐based vegetation indicators. We propose that spaceborne measurements of solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) yield (SIFyield), which is SIF normalized by absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR), have the potential for early detection of emerging crop stress conditions. We evaluate meteorological (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI)), hydrological (root zone soil moisture (RZSM)), and physiological (SIF, and SIFyield) vegetation stress indicators to monitor the onset of crop stress indicated by reductions in gross primary productivity (GPP). Empirical Orthogonal Function and causal analysis indicate SIFyield has the strongest positive correlation with GPP, lagging by 1–2 months compared to other indicators. With its long lead time, space‐borne SIFyield can serve as an early indicator for agricultural drought onset, aiding global agricultural management efforts.

AbstractThe Eastern Betic cordillera, southeastern Spain, is characterized by slow tectonic deformation rates and moderate seismicity. Great uncertainties persist regarding the precise kinematics of the main fault system within the region, the Eastern Betic Shear Zone (EBSZ). We present a new GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) velocity field in the Eastern Betics, including new episodic and continuous stations belonging to the GeoActiva network, as well as all available continuous stations in southern Iberia. We use this data to build kinematic models with elastic blocks, obtaining slip rates and locking ratios in the main faults of the EBSZ. Our model suggests that the central EBSZ is dominated by reverse and sinistral motion, accommodated by two fault branches closing the Guadalentín and Segura valleys. For the first time, we use geodetic data to quantify how slip is distributed between these branches in the central EBSZ: the Alhama de Murcia fault (western branch) accommodates up to 1.3 mm/yr sinistral and 0.6 mm/yr reverse slip, while the Palomares fault (eastern branch) is slower (0.5 mm/yr sinistral and 0.3 mm/yr reverse slip). Although slip rates are higher in the south Palomares and Carboneras faults, data scarcity limits their constraint. The deformation in the northern limit of the Eastern Betics appears to be distributed between the Jumilla and Crevillente faults. On a regional scale, our data suggest that the Nubia‐Eurasia plate convergence is distributed radially from the Eastern Betics, consistent with the escape of multiple blocks driven by indentation and rollback tectonics in the Alboran Sea.

Abstract
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with genes such as SMARCB1, MEOX2, and GLI-1 playing significant roles in its malignancy. Despite their known involvement, the specific molecular contributions of these genes to lung cancer progression, particularly their effects on epigenetic modifications on oncogenes sequences as EGFR and GLI-1, and their influence in the response to EGFR-TKI-based therapies, have not been fully explored. Our study reveals how MEOX2 and GLI-1 are key molecular modulators of the GLI-1 and EGFR-epigenetic patterns, which in turn transcriptionally and epigenetically affect EGFR gene expression in lung cancer. Additionally, MEOX2 was found to significantly promote in vivo lung tumor progression and diminish the effectiveness of EGFR-TKI therapies. Conversely, mSWI/SNF derived subunit SMARCB1 was detected to suppress tumor growth and enhance the oncological therapeutic response in in vivo studies by inducing epigenetic modifications in the GLI-1 and EGFR genetic sequences. Furthermore, our results suggest that BRD9 may contribute to the activation of both lung cancer oncogenes GLI-1 and EGFR. Such findings suggest that SMARCB1 and MEOX2 could serve as important prognosis biomarkers and target genes in human lung cancer therapy, offering new opportunities for the development of more effective and selective treatment strategies in the field of lung malignant diseases.

Abstract
Lon protease 1 (LONP1) is an ATP-dependent protease located in the mitochondrial matrix and plays a crucial role in regulating mitochondrial proteostasis, metabolism, and cellular stress responses et al. Aberrant LONP1 expression has been found in the progression of various tumors; however, the role and molecular mechanisms of LONP1 in prostate cancer (PCa) remain poorly understood. Here we show that overexpression of LONP1 is closely related to adverse clinic pathological features and poor prognosis in PCa patients. Mechanistically, the findings reveal that LONP1 is implicated in modulating the metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to aerobic glycolysis, thereby promoting tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, we prove that LONP1 as a protease directly targets mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1), a key metabolic protein in the process of glycolysis, and enhances its degradation, which in turn suppresses tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and ultimately promotes the progression of PCa. Furthermore, using PCa in cancer-prone mice homozygous for a prostate-targeted conditional Pten knockout and Lonp1 knockin, we integrate transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of prostate tumors, upon which reveals that Lonp1 overexpression results in a significant downregulation of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity, consequently impeding the electron transfer process and mitochondrial ATP synthesis, associated with metastasis of PCa. Collectively, our results highlight that metabolic reprogramming induced by LONP1 in PCa is closely coupled with disease progression, suggesting that targeting the LONP1-mediated cascade in the mitochondrial may provide therapeutic potential for PCa disease.

Abstract
Acidic electrochemical CO2 conversion is a promising alternative to overcome the low CO2 utilization. However, over-reliance on highly concentrated K+ to inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction also causes (bi)carbonate precipitation to interfere with catalytic performance. In this work, under the screening and guidance of computational simulations, we present a carbon coated tip-like In2O3 electrocatalyst for stable and efficient acidic CO2 conversion to synthesize formic acid (HCOOH) with low K+ concentration. The carbon layer protects the oxidized In species with higher intrinsic activity from reductive corrosion, and also peripherally formulates a tip-induced electric field to regulate the adverse H+ attraction and desirable K+ enrichment. In an acidic electrolyte at pH 0.94, only 0.1 M low K+ is required to achieve a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 98.9% at 300 mA cm−2 for HCOOH and a long-time stability of over100 h. By up-scaling the electrode into a 25 cm2 electrolyzer setup, a total current of 7 A is recorded to sustain a durable HCOOH production of 291.6 mmol L−1 h−1.

Abstract
Glaciers are indicators of ongoing anthropogenic climate change1. Their melting leads to increased local geohazards2, and impacts marine3 and terrestrial4,5 ecosystems, regional freshwater resources6, and both global water and energy cycles7,8. Together with the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, glaciers are essential drivers of present9,10 and future11–13 sea-level rise. Previous assessments of global glacier mass changes have been hampered by spatial and temporal limitations and the heterogeneity of existing data series14–16. Here we show in an intercomparison exercise that glaciers worldwide lost 273 ± 16 gigatonnes in mass annually from 2000 to 2023, with an increase of 36 ± 10% from the first (2000–2011) to the second (2012–2023) half of the period. Since 2000, glaciers have lost between 2% and 39% of their ice regionally and about 5% globally. Glacier mass loss is about 18% larger than the loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet and more than twice that from the Antarctic Ice Sheet17. Our results arise from a scientific community effort to collect, homogenize, combine and analyse glacier mass changes from in situ and remote-sensing observations. Although our estimates are in agreement with findings from previous assessments14–16 at a global scale, we found some large regional deviations owing to systematic differences among observation methods. Our results provide a refined baseline for better understanding observational differences and for calibrating model ensembles12,16,18, which will help to narrow projection uncertainty for the twenty-first century11,12,18.

Abstract
Reduced-energy diets promote weight loss and improve long-term outcomes in type 2 diabetes but are untested in gestational diabetes. We aimed to identify if weight loss in pregnancy improves perinatal outcomes in gestational diabetes. We performed a multicentre parallel, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial of energy restriction in women with singleton pregnancies, gestational diabetes and body mass index ≥25 kg m−
2. Participants were randomized to receive a standard-energy control diet (2,000 kcal d−1) or reduced-energy intervention diet (1,200 kcal d−1) from enrollment (29 weeks) until delivery, provided as weekly diet boxes (40% carbohydrate, 35% fat, 25% protein). The randomization was performed in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by center and blinded to the participants and study team. Primary outcomes were maternal weight change from enrollment to 36 weeks and offspring birth weight. In total, 425 participants were randomized to the control (n = 211) or intervention (n = 214). Outcome data were available for 388 of 425 (90.1%) participants at 36 weeks and 382 of 425 (89.8%) at delivery. There was no evidence of a difference in maternal weight change to 36 weeks between groups (intervention effect −0.20 (95% confidence interval −1.01, 0.61); P > 0.1) and offspring standardized birth weight (intervention effect 0.005 (−0.19, 0.20); P > 0.1). A reduced-energy diet was safe in pregnancy. ISRCTN registration no. 65152174.

Abstract
It is well documented that platelet disorders can result from various causes and can lead to different disease conditions such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), thrombocythemia, thrombocytopenia, Autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and even cancer, to name a few. The diagnosis of many of these diseases mainly depends on imaging examinations, clinical analysis and neuropsychological tests, these may be time taking procedures and, have a high chances of false positive/false negative results. The Raman tweezers spectroscopy can provide trust worthy results without much time delay. In the present study the activation dynamics of platelets were studied and observed that the activation leads to biochemical and morphological changes, such as the formation of filopodia on the platelet surface, transformation in the shape from discoid to spherical, and translocation of aminophospholipids from inner leaflet to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. The Raman bands corresponding to phospholipids shows remarkable intensity variations during activation. The detailed knowledge regarding the activation dynamics of platelets will be important in monitoring CVDs, ADs, etc. and this paper illustrates a prospective method that can be incorporated into clinical settings in the near future to study and analyze platelet activation. This study will be the first to display the trapping of platelets in its live form to study their activation dynamics using an in-house assembled optical tweezers micro-Raman spectrometer.
Cathode wrapping strategy with metal chalcogenide nanosheet for safer and longer lasting Li-ion batteries
Authors: Kim Suji , Kim Jihyun , Kang Joohoon , Ryu Won-Hee 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Ni-rich layered cathode materials have been intensively explored to maximize the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their performance is compromised by unstable surface reactions in the high-voltage region, resulting in detrimental changes to the surface structure. In this study, an effective strategy to improve the long-term stability of LIBs is demonstrated. This strategy involves conformally wrapping two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets on Ni-rich layered cathodes via electrostatic interactions between positively surface-treated MoS2 and negatively charged cathode particles. The formation of MoS2 wrapping layers prevents direct interfacial contact between the cathode and the electrolyte, thereby preventing surface-triggered structural degradation and unwanted side reactions. The improved cell stability was verified, with advantages including reduced gas evolution, facile Li-ion transfer, and mitigated microcrack propagation. This 2D material-wrapping strategy allows for thin and effective coverage of the cathode surface, consequently ensuring improved safety and longer lifespans for LIBs.

Abstract
Macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) generate mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species (mtROS) that act as antimicrobial agents and redox signals; however, the mechanism of LPS-induced mitochondrial superoxide generation is unknown. Here we show that LPS-stimulated bone-marrow-derived macrophages produce superoxide by reverse electron transport (RET) at complex I of the electron transport chain. Using chemical biology and genetic approaches, we demonstrate that superoxide production is driven by LPS-induced metabolic reprogramming, which increases the proton motive force (∆p), primarily as elevated mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and maintains a reduced CoQ pool. The key metabolic changes are repurposing of ATP production from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis, which reduces reliance on F1FO-ATP synthase activity resulting in a higher ∆p, while oxidation of succinate sustains a reduced CoQ pool. Furthermore, the production of mtROS by RET regulates IL-1β release during NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Thus, we demonstrate that ROS generated by RET is an important mitochondria-derived signal that regulates macrophage cytokine production.

A Case Study on Perspectives of Parents of Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing: Factors Influencing Quality of Life, an Application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Framework
Authors: Kintop Claire , Isaacson Heather 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:
This descriptive case study was conducted to explore factors that enhance the quality of life of individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) through the application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

Method:
The perspectives of primary caregivers in two families that had two biological children with sensorineural hearing loss were explored using a semistructured interview. The Bingham Five-Phase Process of Qualitative Data Analysis was utilized to thoroughly analyze and find commonalities between responses. The ICF framework guided theme exploration.

Result:
The results show the highest number of codes emerging as related to processing information and safety, concerns about peer relationships and self-image, and not utilizing technology to its fullest extent. Participants indicated that the presence of environmental supports, both within the school system and through personal advocates, underscores the importance of external factors in mitigating barriers and fostering inclusion for individuals who are DHH.

Conclusions:
The specific codes identified support the overarching themes of participation limitations, personal coping style, and environmental supports that can be considered when working with this population. Further research should be completed to find more qualitative results encompassing a wider variety of individuals in this community.
Optimized Coordination of Electric Vehicles, Distributed Compensation Devices, and Distributed Generation for Risk Mitigation in Radial Distribution Networks
Authors: Zhongbo Chen , Liang Liang , Chao Lu 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe charging demand of electric vehicles (EVs), intelligent and flexible compensation units, and renewable energy generation are key components of the smart grid framework. This paper aims to evaluate the benefits of coordinating distributed compensation units while mitigating the risks associated with the uncertainties arising from the aggregation of distributed generation and EV charging loads within the smart grid. Linear models for electric spring (ES) were developed to facilitate their integration into collaborative operational strategies. Subsequently, probabilistic load flow (PLF) analysis was combined with branch power flow (BPF) equations to assess voltage fluctuations and the stochastic distribution of energy demand. The proposed methodology aims to optimize coordinated operations for risk mitigation. Finally, case studies were carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimization model and provide further insights into its practical applications.
