Diet diversity score might be associated with reproductive health in women and infant outcomes: a systematic review
Authors: Ahmadi Paniz , Bayat Niloofar , Abbasi Behnood 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Lifestyle and diet may affect the reproductive cycle. A dietary index called Diet Diversity Score (DDS) may be related to various reproductive outcomes. The present review aims to look over and conclude the prior studies on the relationship between the diversity of food ingredients and issues related to reproductive health and pregnancy. In the case of this relationship, our findings can increase clinical knowledge and help recommend a well-balanced diet for the target group. A comprehensive search was performed in major databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, and Scientific Information Database until March 2024. This research was combined with a search of Elsevier and SpringerLink databases, which led to the inclusion of relevant articles in this review. Our study was conducted based on 27 articles from 2012 to 2023, all containing a possible link between dietary diversity and reproductive complications. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale quality assessment was used to evaluate the quality of included studies. Due to our results, a higher score in DDS, which led to an increased intake of major nutrients and a greater variety of foods, was correlated with a lower risk of reproductive health disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome, maternal anaemia, and maternal bone status, as well as a reduced likelihood of certain birth outcomes, including low-birth weight infants, Apgar score and congenital heart defect. These findings highlight the importance of improving the DDS for maternal and infant health.

Abstract
Glaciers play a crucial role in the Asian Water Tower, underscoring the necessity of accurately assessing their mass balance and ice volume to evaluate their significance as sustainable freshwater resources. In this study, we analyzed ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measurements from a 2020 survey of the Xiao Dongkemadi Glacier (XDG) to determine ice thickness, and we extended the glacier’s volume-change record to 2020 by employing multi-source remote-sensing data. Our findings show that the GPR-derived mean ice thickness of XDG in 2020 was 54.78 ± 3.69 m, corresponding to an ice volume of 0.0811 ± 0.0056 km3. From 1969 to 2020, the geodetic mass balance was −0.19 ± 0.02 m w.e. a−1, and the glacier experienced area and ice volume losses of 16.38 ± 4.66% and 31.01 ± 4.59%, respectively. The long-term mass-balance reconstruction reveals weak fluctuations occurred from 1967 to 1993 and that overall mass losses have occurred since 1994. This ongoing shrinkage and ice loss are mainly associated with the temperature increases in the warm season since the 1960s. If the climate trend across the central Tibetan Plateau follows to the SSP585 scenario, then XDG is at risk of disappearing by the end of the century.
Oxygen isotope composition of teeth suggests endothermy and possible migration in some Late Cretaceous shark taxa from the Gulf Coastal Plain, USA

Published: January 2025

Abstract
We analyzed the oxygen isotope composition of biogenic apatite phosphate (δ18Op) in fossil tooth enameloid to investigate the paleoecology of Late Cretaceous sharks in the Gulf Coastal Plain of Alabama, USA. We analyzed six different shark taxa from both the Mooreville Chalk and the Blufftown Formation. We compared shark δ18Op with the δ18Op of a co-occurring poikilothermic bony fish Enchodus petrosus as a reference for ambient conditions. Enchodus petrosus tooth enamel δ18Op values are similar between formations (21.3‰ and 21.4‰ Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water [VSMOW], respectively), suggesting minimal differences in water δ18O between formations. Most shark taxa in this study are characterized by δ18Op values that overlap with E. petrosus values, indicating they likely lived in similar habitats and were also poikilothermic. Ptychodus mortoni and Cretoxyrhina mantelli exhibit significantly lower δ18Op values than co-occurring E. petrosus (P. mortoni δ18Op is 19.1‰ VSMOW in the Mooreville Chalk; C mantelli δ18Op is 20.2‰ VSMOW in the Mooreville Chalk and 18.1‰ VSMOW in the Blufftown Formation). Excursions into brackish or freshwater habitats and thermal water-depth gradients are unlikely explanations for the lower P. mortoni and C. mantelli δ18Op values. The low P. mortoni δ18Op value is best explained by higher body temperature relative to surrounding temperatures due to active heating (e.g., mesothermy) or passive heating due to its large body size (e.g., gigantothermy). The low C. mantelli δ18Op values are best explained by a combination of mesothermy (e.g., active heating) and migration (e.g., from the Western Interior Seaway, low-latitude warmer waters, or the paleo–Gulf Stream), supporting the hypothesis that mesothermy evolved in lamniform shark taxa during the Late Cretaceous. If the anomalous P. mortoni δ18Op values are also driven by active thermoregulation, this suggests that mesothermy evolved independently in multiple families of Late Cretaceous sharks.
Historical myths are believed because audiences are socially motivated
Authors: Shao Shuai , Barlev Michael 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Do people believe in historical myths because they are manipulated by coalitional recruiters, or because it is in their interests to do so? The target article gives somewhat conflicting explanations. We propose that the audiences of historical myths are socially rather than epistemically motivated – they believe and propagate historical myths as a way of signaling their coalitional commitments.
Historical myths as commitment devices
Authors: Blancke Stefaan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Sijilmassi et al. claim that historical myths are technologies of recruitment that mimic cues of fitness interdependence. Paradoxically, they also claim that people are vigilant and that these myths might not and do not have to convince others, which raises questions about how these myths become culturally successful. Thinking about historical myths as commitment devices helps overcome this paradox.
What about language?
Authors: Benítez-Burraco Antonio 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Myths about a remote shared past can certainly promote cooperation between distantly related people, seemingly via their impact on our social cognition, and ultimately facilitate the achievement of complex tasks in large-scale societies. Nonetheless, the creation and transmission of these complex narratives are not possible without the parallel development of sophisticated language(s), endowed with properties like displacement (enabling mental travels in space and time) and complex syntax (enabling the assembly and communication of complex thoughts).
Hedges of the Second Republic: firms, equity investors and political uncertainty in a nascent democracy, 1930–1936
Authors: Battilossi Stefano , Houpt Stefan O. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We study how Spanish equity investors assessed firms’ exposure to political risk during the regime change of the 1930s. We show that shifts in political uncertainty regularly predicted a general deterioration of future investment opportunities in the stock market. However, we also find that firms differed in their sensitivity to uncertainty, reflecting important differences in their perceived exposures to political risk. The negative impact of uncertainty was significantly milder for firms with political connections to republican parties. The price of some stocks increased in periods of heightened uncertainty, thus allowing investors to hedge against reinvestment risk. In the case of firms that became targets of hostile political actions, we observe that investors frequently adjusted their assessment of individual stocks to changes in firm-specific political circumstances. Over the whole period of the Second Republic, investors' systematic preference for safer equity hedges led to a continuous decline in the price of stocks perceived as more exposed to political risk.
A dual-stage system for real-time license plate detection and recognition on mobile security robots

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) systems are increasingly used to solve issues related to surveillance and security. However, these systems assume constrained recognition scenarios, thereby restricting their practical use. Therefore, we address in this article the challenge of recognizing vehicle license plates (LPs) from the video feeds of a mobile security robot by proposing an efficient two-stage ALPR system. Our ALPR system combines the on-the-shelf YOLOv7x model with a novel LP recognition model, called vision transformer-based LP recognizer (ViTLPR). ViTLPR is based on the self-attention mechanism to read character sequences on LPs. To ease the deployment of our ALPR system on mobile security robots and improve its inference speed, we also propose an optimization strategy. As an additional contribution, we provide an ALPR dataset, named PGTLP-v2, collected from surveillance robots patrolling several plants. The PGTLP-v2 dataset has multiple features to cover chiefly the in-the-wild scenario. To evaluate the effectiveness of our ALPR system, experiments are carried out on the PGTLP-v2 dataset and five benchmark ALPR datasets collected from different countries. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed ALPR system outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe International Magnetospheric Coupling (IMC‐IV) Workshop was held from 2–7 June 2024, at GFZ‐Potsdam, Germany and convened over 140 scientists to explore the solar wind and magnetosphere‐ionosphere‐thermosphere coupling. The workshop included eight sessions on topics ranging from solar wind, planetary magnetospheres, wave‐particle interactions to the ionosphere and upper atmosphere, and applications for space weather. Key subjects such as the need for advanced modeling, new satellite missions for validation, and the importance of understanding small and large‐scale space phenomena were emphasized by the participants. Two topical discussions focused on space weather awareness in Germany, and the future of Heliophysics research in Europe. The workshop concluded with recommendations for improved international mission coordination, better scientific communication, and enhanced public outreach through visualization tools. This meeting and the report pave the way for the formation of the European Heliophysics Community.

AbstractApical microsurgery is accurate and minimally invasive, produces few complications, and has a success rate of more than 90%. However, due to the lack of awareness and understanding of apical microsurgery by dental general practitioners and even endodontists, many clinical problems remain to be overcome. The consensus has gathered well-known domestic experts to hold a series of special discussions and reached the consensus. This document specifies the indications, contraindications, preoperative preparations, operational procedures, complication prevention measures, and efficacy evaluation of apical microsurgery and is applicable to dentists who perform apical microsurgery after systematic training.

AbstractWe investigated a novel cancer immunotherapy strategy that effectively suppresses tumor growth in multiple solid tumor models and significantly extends the lifespan of tumor-bearing mice by introducing pathogen antigens into tumors via mRNA-lipid nanoparticles. The pre-existing immunity against the pathogen antigen can significantly enhance the efficacy of this approach. In mice previously immunized with BNT162b2, an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine encoding the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, intratumoral injections of the same vaccine efficiently tagged the tumor cells with mRNA-expressed spike protein. This action rapidly mobilized the pre-existing memory immunity against SARS-CoV-2 to kill the cancer cells displaying the spike protein, while concurrently reprogramming the tumor microenvironment (TME) by attracting immune cells. The partial elimination of tumor cells in a normalized TME further triggered extensive tumor antigen-specific T cell responses through antigen spreading, eventually resulting in potent and systemic tumor-targeting immune responses. Moreover, combining BNT162b2 treatment with anti-PD-L1 therapy yielded a more substantial therapeutic impact, even in “cold tumor” types that are typically less responsive to treatment. Given that the majority of the global population has acquired memory immunity against various pathogens through infection or vaccination, we believe that, in addition to utilizing the widely held immune memory against SARS-CoV-2 via COVID-19 vaccine, mRNA vaccines against other pathogens, such as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Common Human Coronaviruses (HCoVs), and the influenza virus, could be rapidly transitioned into clinical use and holds great promise in treating different types of cancer. The extensive selection of pathogen antigens expands therapeutic opportunities and may also overcome potential drug resistance.
KIF1C activates and extends dynein movement through the FHF cargo adapter

Published: January 2025

AbstractCellular cargos move bidirectionally on microtubules by recruiting opposite polarity motors dynein and kinesin. These motors show codependence, where one requires the activity of the other, although the mechanism is unknown. Here we show that kinesin-3 KIF1C acts as both an activator and a processivity factor for dynein, using in vitro reconstitutions of human proteins. Activation requires only a fragment of the KIF1C nonmotor stalk binding the cargo adapter HOOK3. The interaction site is separate from the constitutive factors FTS and FHIP, which link HOOK3 to small G-proteins on cargos. We provide a structural model for the autoinhibited FTS–HOOK3–FHIP1B (an FHF complex) and explain how KIF1C relieves it. Collectively, we explain codependency by revealing how mutual activation of dynein and kinesin occurs through their shared adapter. Many adapters bind both dynein and kinesins, suggesting this mechanism could be generalized to other bidirectional complexes.
Molecular basis of human nuclear and mitochondrial tRNA 3′ processing

Published: January 2025

AbstractEukaryotic transfer RNA (tRNA) precursors undergo sequential processing steps to become mature tRNAs. In humans, ELAC2 carries out 3′ end processing of both nucleus-encoded (nu-tRNAs) and mitochondria-encoded (mt-tRNAs) tRNAs. ELAC2 is self-sufficient for processing of nu-tRNAs but requires TRMT10C and SDR5C1 to process most mt-tRNAs. Here we show that TRMT10C and SDR5C1 specifically facilitate processing of structurally degenerate mt-tRNAs lacking the canonical elbow. Structures of ELAC2 in complex with TRMT10C, SDR5C1 and two divergent mt-tRNA substrates reveal two distinct mechanisms of pre-tRNA recognition. While canonical nu-tRNAs and mt-tRNAs are recognized by direct ELAC2–RNA interactions, processing of noncanonical mt-tRNAs depends on protein–protein interactions between ELAC2 and TRMT10C. These results provide the molecular basis for tRNA 3′ processing in both the nucleus and the mitochondria and explain the organelle-specific requirement for additional factors. Moreover, they suggest that TRMT10C–SDR5C1 evolved as a mitochondrial tRNA maturation platform to compensate for the structural erosion of mt-tRNAs in bilaterian animals.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exfoliated from bulk layered materials possess interesting properties. Most transition metal oxides are not layered and therefore cannot be exfoliated. Here we report the synthesis of a family of ultrathin materials—transition metal oxychalcogenides (TMOCs)—and demonstrate their unique properties. Two-dimensional TMOCs (MX

O
y
, M = group IV or V transition metal, X = chalcogen, O = oxygen; x, y = 0–2) from bulk transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2) have been fabricated using tetrabutylammonium intercalation. The stoichiometry of TMOCs can be adjusted, which enables control of their optical bandgaps and tunability of electrical conductivity by more than eight orders of magnitude. By tuning the chalcogen-to-oxygen ratio along with local atomic structure in TMOCs, it is possible to impart unexpected properties. For example, in contrast to conventional TMDs, the hybrid structure of TMOCs renders them surprisingly stable and electrochemically active in strong acids, allowing them to be used as proof-of-concept catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction at pH ≈ 0. The HfS0.52O1.09 catalyst shows high mass activity (103,000 A g−1 at an overpotential of 0.5 V) and exhibits durability in proton exchange membrane water electrolysers.
Stability analysis of discrete‐time delayed neural networks via delay‐product‐type Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals
Authors: Chen Jun , Ji Fengqiang , Zhuang Guangming , Sha Hongjia 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis article is concerned with the stability problem for discrete‐time neural networks with a time‐varying delay. For the two cases that the delay‐variation bounds are known and unknown, new augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) are correspondingly constructed by fully considering the information on the state‐related vectors and nonlinear activation function. Through the entire vector‐extension method, the forward differences of the new LKFs are estimated to be affine with the delay. Relaxed stability criteria are consequently derived via the convex method. Two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method on conservatism reduction.
A fast CU partition algorithm of ERP 360‐degree video based on deep learning

Published: January 2025

AbstractThis article proposes a deep‐learning‐based fast coding unit (CU) partition algorithm to reduce encoding time of equirectangular projection (ERP) 360‐degree videos in versatile video coding. First, an ERP 360‐degree dataset with ERP latitude characteristics and quantitative parameter characteristics is established. Then, a lightweight prediction partition convolutional neural network is designed to predict the partition probability of 44 CU edges in 3232 luminance CU. Finally, an intra prediction decision‐making scheme is developed to reduce the number of candidate modes of CUs with size equal to or smaller than 3232, thereby achieving fast encoding. Experimental results show that the proposed method saves 58.51% of encoding time in All Intra configuration and only increases Bjontegaard delta bit‐rate by 1.39%.

Published: January 2025

Context. Understanding the formation and evolution of star clusters in the Milky Way requires precise identification of clusters that form binary or multiple systems. Such systems offer valuable insight into the dynamical processes and interactions that influence cluster evolution.
Aims. This study aims to detect and classify star clusters in the Milky Way that are part of double or multiple systems. Specifically, we seek to detect clusters that form gravitationally bound pairs or groups of clusters and distinguish between different types of interactions based on their physical properties and spatial distributions.
Methods. We used an extensive star cluster database which includes 7167 clusters. By estimating the tidal forces acting on each cluster through the tidal factor and considering only close neighbours (within 50 pc), we identified a total of 2170 star clusters forming part of double or multiple systems. Pairs were classified as binaries, capture pairs, or optical pairs based on proper motion distributions, cluster ages, and colour-magnitude diagrams.
Results. Our analysis identified 617 paired systems, and they were successfully classified using our scheme. Additionally, we found 261 groups of star clusters with three or more members, providing further evidence of the presence of multiple systems within the Milky Way that exhibit significant tidal interactions.
Conclusions. The method we present provides an improved approach for identifying star clusters that share the same spatial volume and experience notable tidal interactions.

Published: January 2025

AbstractA novel [3+2] annulation of 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and benzothiazolimines has been developed for the efficient, one-step preparation of highly sterically demanding thiazolidines in excellent yields (up to 99%) and moderate diastereoselectivities (1:1 to 2.4:1) under mild conditions within a few minutes. A series of thiazolidines compounds were obtained and a scaled-up experiment was conducted with excellent results. The absorption, metabolism, and toxic (ADMET) properties of the compounds were evaluated with good results, demonstrating the potential applications of this protocol.
