ERG responses and the Ferry-Porter law
Authors: Kremers Jan , Aher Avinash J. , Huchzermeyer Cord 
Published: October 2024

The Ferry-Porter law states that the psychophysically measured critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF) is linearly correlated with the logarithm of the mean luminance. We studied the relationship between the CFFs of L- and M-cone driven ERGs (five normal trichromats; sinusoidal modulation; 18% cone contrast) and mean luminance. The measurements were performed at seven mean luminances between 2.84 and 284cd/m2. Close to the CFF, the ERG amplitudes versus temporal frequency could be described by a simple exponential function. The CFFs were higher for L- than for M-cone driven ERGs and depended linearly on the logarithm of the mean luminance (i.e., adhered to the Ferry-Porter law) with steeper slopes compared to psychophysical measurements.

Published: October 2024

In recent years, advancements in micro- and nano-optical technologies
have led to significant breakthroughs in the development of enabling
the widespread application of micro-spectral analyzers in complex
fields such as biomedical and environmental science.
Micro-spectrometers are highly valued for their portability,
precision, and versatility. Innovations in spectral reconstruction
techniques have further enhanced the performance of these devices. In
this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a computationally
reconstructed miniature spectrometer based on a linear gradient Ag/Au
mixed-metal plasmonic nano-islands filter, which is successfully
prepared on a large-area quartz substrate through optimized sputtering
and rapid annealing processes. The various angle-insensitive (the
incident angle is up to 35°) transmission spectra of the microfilter
are expanded to cover 250–900 nm by controlling the sizes, alloy
ratios, and surrounding refractive index of the nano-islands. The
efficient reconstruction of the incident spectra is achieved within
the visible range (420–720 nm) through compressed sensing and l1-norm
minimization methods. The reconstructed spectrum has a resolution of
up to 0.6 nm, with wavelength accuracy within 0.4 nm. The root mean
square error (RMSE) for monochromatic and broadband light
reconstruction is below 0.05 and 0.07, respectively. This study offers
valuable insights for the development of highly integrated,
high-resolution, angle-insensitive micro-spectrometers with broad
operating wavelength bands.
Reconfigurable spin-decoupled conformal metasurface: 3D-printing with independent beam shaping and multi-focusing dual-channel reconfigurability techniques
Authors: Fu Yang , Zhou Xiaofeng , Cheng Houyuan , Yang Yuejie , Zhou Xiangli , Ding Fan , Jin Jing , Yang Helin 
Published: November 2024

This paper describes a 3D-printed conformal reconfigurable spin-decoupled metasurface and supports both independent beam shaping and dual-channel reconfigurability. The increasing complexity of metasurface structures and reconfigurable spin-decoupling among conformal structures are rarely reported due to their challenging properties. In this paper, a reconfigurable metasurface based on 3D-printing technology is proposed for reconfigurable spin-decoupled curved structures at 13.5–14.5 GHz. Curved surface spin-decoupling is realized for the first time and verified by simulation and experiment. Beam deflection (20° and 35°) and near-field focusing (100 mm and 150 mm) were achieved at different circularly polarized wave incidences. Switching the beam between the two states was achieved by incorporating the water-based metasurface. As a proof of concept, metasurfaces that have anomalous reflections in both channels were fabricated and measured. Furthermore, reconfigurable spin-decoupling was achieved using a water-based metasurface. This work extends the phase engineering approach in metasurfaces and may have a wide range of applications in communications, sensing, imaging, and camouflage.

Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with significant variability in acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence, leading to concerns regarding patient heterogeneity. The study’s primary objective was a cluster analysis, to identify homogeneous subgroups of patients (clusters) using baseline characteristics, including inflammatory biomarkers. The secondary objectives were the comparisons of MAKE-90 and mortality between the different clusters at three months.

Methods
This retrospective single-center study was conducted in the Medical Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand, France. Baseline data, clinical and biological characteristics on ICU admission, and outcomes at day 90 were recorded. The primary outcome was the risk of major adverse kidney events at 90 days (MAKE-90). Clusters were determined using hierarchical clustering on principal components approach based on admission characteristics, biomarkers and serum values of immune dysfunction and kidney function.

Results
It included consecutive adult patients admitted between March 20, 2020 and February 28, 2021 for severe COVID-19. A total of 149 patients were included in the study. Three clusters were identified of which two were fully described (cluster 3 comprising 2 patients). Cluster 1 comprised 122 patients with fewer organ dysfunctions, moderate immune dysfunction, and was associated with reduced mortality and a lower incidence of MAKE-90. Cluster 2 comprised 25 patients with greater disease severity, immune dysfunction, higher levels of suPAR and L-FABP/U Creat, and greater organ support requirement, incidence of AKI, day-90 mortality and MAKE-90.

Conclusions
This study identified two clusters of severe COVID-19 patients with distinct biological characteristics and renal event risks. Such clusters may help facilitate the identification of targeted populations for future clinical trials. Also, it may help to understand the significant variability in AKI incidence observed in COVID-19 patients.

BackgroundEmerging technologies and societal changes create new ethical concerns and greater need for cross-disciplinary and cross–stakeholder communication on navigating ethics in research. Scholarly articles are the primary mode of communication for researchers, however there are concerns regarding the expression of research ethics in these outputs. If not in these outputs, where should researchers and stakeholders learn about the ethical considerations of research?ObjectivesDrawing on a scoping review, analysis of policy in a specific disciplinary context (learning and technology), and reference group discussion, we address concerns regarding research ethics, in research involving emerging technologies through developing novel policy that aims to foster learning through the expression of ethical concepts in research.ApproachThis paper develops new editorial policy for expression of research ethics in scholarly outputs across disciplines. These guidelines, aimed at authors, reviewers, and editors, are underpinned by:a cross-disciplinary scoping review of existing policy and adherence to these policies;a review of emerging policies, and policies in a specific discipline (learning and technology); and,a collective drafting process undertaken by a reference group of journal editors (the authors of this paper).ResultsAnalysis arising from the scoping review indicates gaps in policy across a wide range of journals (54% have no statement regarding reporting of research ethics), and adherence (51% of papers reviewed did not refer to ethics considerations). Analysis of emerging and discipline-specific policies highlights gaps.ConclusionOur collective policy development process develops novel materials suitable for cross-disciplinary transfer, to address specific issues of research involving AI, and broader challenges of emerging technologies.
Aportes do pensamento de Paul Ricoeur para uma hermenêutica de nossa condição histórico-educativa
Authors: Almeida Doris Bittencourt , Hinterholz Marcos Luiz 
Published: November 2024

O artigo, de caráter ensaístico, busca pensar o papel de uma hermenêutica da nossa condição histórico-educativa para as ciências da educação e para o sujeito que pensa a si mesmo. Essa teorização sobre os planos epistemológico e existencial das pesquisas e dos saberes fundantes da história da educação deu-se a partir das contribuições da obra A memória, a história, o esquecimento, de Paul Ricoeur (2007). O autor nos convoca a complexificar, nos planos fenomenológico, epistêmico, hermenêutico e existencial, o reconhecimento das imagens de outrora, referentes do passado, que no presente se manifestam, e com elas produzir compreensões. A escrita da história, e sua função simbolizadora, permite que uma sociedade se situe ao atribuir-se um passado na linguagem. Assim, a história da educação foi pensada como um saber capaz de criar novas sensibilidades que, por sua vez, criam novas relações consigo, com o outro, com a educação e com o mundo.
A questão poética em Giambattista Vico
Authors: Freitas Vitoria Vincent 
Published: November 2024

Resumo: Este artigo investiga os diversos sentidos pelos quais a poesia pode ser considerada na reflexão filosófica de Giambattista Vico (1668-1744). Para o filósofo italiano, a poesia não trata apenas de uma questão literária, mas também de uma questão histórica e antropológica, de modo que ele concebe o tempo histórico primitivo como um tempo poético. O pensamento e a linguagem são intercambiáveis, congênitos e inseparáveis, de modo que toda poesia mítica e fantástica corresponde a um tipo de mentalidade que é poética. A linguagem, o pensamento e a realidade estão num constante confronto que implica interrelações dinâmicas de mútuas transformações. A fantasia, conectada à memória e à experiência social, cria os mitos e poesias primitivas. A linguagem poética e a linguagem racional diferem entre si. Mas, durante toda a história humana, não importando em qual período, sempre reaparecerá a possibilidade de usar figurativamente a linguagem.

Per il filosofo italiano la poesia non è solo una questione letteraria, ma anche una questione storica e antropologica, tanto che concepisce il tempo storico primitivo come un tempo poetico. Pensiero e linguaggio sono intercambiabili, congeniti e inseparabili, cosicché ogni poesia mitica e fantastica corrisponde a un tipo di mentalità che è poetica. Linguaggio, pensiero e realtà sono in un confronto costante che implica interrelazioni dinamiche di reciproche trasformazioni. La fantasia, legata alla memoria e all'esperienza sociale, crea miti e poesia primitiva. Il linguaggio poetico e il linguaggio razionale differiscono l'uno dall'altro. Ma nel corso della storia umana, non importa in quale periodo, la possibilità di usare il linguaggio in senso figurato riapparirà sempre.

In vitro studies on the pollen viability and germination of Impatiens cordata Wight. an endemic species of the Southern-Western Ghats
Authors: Sivadasan Abhilash , Jayan Anjali , Sreekala Appukuttan Kamalabhai 
Published: October 2024

Impatiens cordata is an endemic balsam in the southern Western Ghats. The present work aimed to study pollen morphology, fertility, viability, cytology, and in vitro pollen germination studies of I. cordata. The study also focused on finding a relationship between pollen viability and germination. The results revealed that the I. cordata pollen grains are elliptical and quadrangular. The pollen grains are bicellular, mainly tetracolpate, with some tricolpate occurrences, and have reticulate exine ornamentation. Brew baker’s medium supplemented with 5% sucrose had the most remarkable ability to germinate in vitro. The stain and the number of days significantly affect germination. The peak of pollen viability was observed on the day of anthesis. The results of the Alexander stain were more strongly correlated with in vitro germination and suggested that for pollen viability studies, the Alexander stain is considered the best stain compared to others.
Hot pants: The emerging field of exercise mimetics, from hospital beds to the international space station
Authors: John Kevin 
Published: November 2024

AbstractPartaking in regular exercise has vast psychological and physiological benefits. However, factors that promote sedentary lifestyle such as occupational obligations (desk‐based work) or underlying health comorbidities can limit adherence to exercise regimes. Considering the current trends in physical inactivity, development of alternate strategies to replicate or mimic the beneficial adaptations associated with regular exercise may become a highly sought after commodity. A relevant and current example of this is the enormous market demand for glucagon‐like peptide‐1 drugs for the management of obesity and type‐2 diabetes. The goal of this short review is to direct attention toward non‐pharmaceutical strategies and specifically focuses on the topical application of heat stress to passively improve health. The review highlights important heat‐induced adaptations and identifies scope for technological innovations that will allow delivery of heating interventions outside the confinement of laboratory settings.
The future of physiological research: A greater understanding of female master athletes and aging?
Authors: Daly Lorcan S. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractHigh caliber master athletes provide a valuable model for studying inherent physiological aging and performance capacity, without the confounding factor of physical inactivity. Despite the remarkable achievements of female master athletes, their participation rates remain significantly lower than those of their male counterparts, particularly at more advanced ages. This review examines the biological sex gap in sports participation among master athletes and the subsequent disparity in empirical research, thereafter exploring possible contributing factors. It highlights the importance of studying female master athletes to better understand the aging process and offers recommendations to address current evidence gaps. The need for more comprehensive mechanistic data on highly trained older women, novel cataloguing and analysis of real‐world datasets, case studies/series, and longitudinal research are also emphasized. Although analyzing the records of female master athletes as a surrogate to determine age‐related physiological and performance changes is a common approach, the process may be hindered by the considerably lower participation rates of women. Therefore, an important step toward bridging these gaps is the longitudinal, integrative study of female athletes engaged in lifelong exercise. Such analyses would improve our understanding of senescence in women and may inform interventions targeting the promotion of physical function in older adults.
Transformation und Reduktion von Aufführungswirklichkeit
Authors: von Lüpke Beatrice 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article explores the challenges involved in editing medieval Shrovetide plays (‚Fastnachtspiele‘). These texts blur the distinction between performance scripts and texts intended solely for reading. This ambiguity complicates the editing process, necessitating a delicate balance between ensuring interpretive flexibility and making pragmatic decisions about whether to delve into the original performance intentions behind a manuscript. The article highlights the crucial role of considering performance dynamics, especially when dealing with texts that contain gaps implying unspoken stage actions. Rather than attempting to fill these gaps, the focus should be on marking them within the edited text.
Von OCR und HTR bis NER und LLM
Authors: Hess Jan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The presence of the digital is closely linked to the expectation that work processes will be made easier and faster. Considering the barely recognizable increase in speed in editing projects, this article deals with the potentials and challenges of digital tools and processes which, at least in theory, have the potential to speed up editing processes by transferring tasks to the machine that would otherwise be carried out by humans. Using the examples of optical character recognition, handwritten text recognition, named entity recognition and LLM-based dialog systems (AI-based chatbots), the article examines what is associated with the integration of such digital methods and tools into the editing workflow and to what extent the work and transformation processes and, in particular, the roles of human editors and their specific tasks change.
Text als System
Authors: Pravida Dietmar , Brüning Gerrit 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The paper examines the development of Hans Zeller’s editorial views, focusing on the adaptation of semiological structuralism, especially his attempts to frame texts as ‘systems of signs’. Zeller suggests that even a single variant constitutes a new version („Fassung“). While being an influential centerpiece in the development of Zeller’s theoretical views up to the mid-1970s, his application of structuralist concepts to editorial theory is fraught with difficulties. Specifically, Saussure’s notion of the systemic character of language (‹langue›) is not applicable to single texts. Zeller’s claims to this effect are not supported by either Miroslav Červenka, whom Zeller most prominently cites, or by the linguistic theory of Ferdinand de Saussure. The problem of establishing and justifying a viable notion of text versions for editorial theory remains unresolved up to this day. Zeller’s temporary commitment to theory (specifically to semiological structuralism) may even have inadvertently undermined the project to build a shared editorial methodology.
Das Modell der Textdynamik und sein Potential für eine Editionswissenschaft jenseits der ‚Schulen‘
Authors: Henzel Katrin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article discusses the potential of Gunter Martens’ model of textual dynamic (‚Textdynamik‘) for further approaches, specifically Jerome McGann’s social text theory and Dirk Van Hulle’s model of a dynamic facsimile in the context of born digital documents. Two hypotheses are central to this: 1) On a theoretical level, Martens’ model makes it possible to establish comparability between different theories of text from different ‘schools’ of editing and thus promote further theory-building processes. 2) On a practical level, such a model of textual dynamic can be used particularly well for the editing of modern literary texts, which are characterised as open and incomplete.
The early COVID-19 pandemic period and associated gestational weight gain
Authors: Madein Ayomipo , Lundsberg Lisbet , Culhane Jennifer , Partridge Caitlin , Son Moeun , Merriam Audrey 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objectives
The aim of this study was to investigate if gestational weight gain was altered during the early COVID-19 pandemic period.

Methods
This a retrospective cohort study evaluating gestational weight gain among individuals delivering during the early COVID-19 pandemic epoch (March 10–December 31, 2020) compared to temporally matched pre-pandemic (matched months in 2018 and 2019) controls using electronic medical record data from a large tertiary care hospital. The primary outcome was gestational weight gain defined as a categorical measure representing below, meeting, or above Institute of Medicine (IOM) criteria with further adjustment for gestational age at delivery. The early-pandemic exposure group was also categorized by gestational age at the start period (<14 weeks’ and 14–20 weeks’) to assess if duration of exposure affected gestational weight gain risks with the use of multinominal logistic regression.

Results
Among 5,377 individuals 3,619 (67.3 %) and 1,758 (32.7 %) were in the pre and early pandemic epochs respectively. Overall, 934 (17.4 %) individuals gained below recommended, 1,280 (23.8 %) met recommendations, and 3,163 (58.8 %) gained above IOM recommended gestational weight gain. Compared to the pre-pandemic epoch, the early pandemic period was not associated with weight gain below (OR 1.06, 95 % Cl 0.89–1.27) or above (OR 1.03, 95 % Cl 0.89–1.19) IOM recommendations. This was also true when the early pandemic group was stratified based on gestational age at the start of the early pandemic period (<14 weeks’ and 14–20 weeks’).

Conclusions
This study demonstrated no significant difference in maternal weight gain between pre and early COVID-19 pandemic periods.
Early Vedic denominatives and their analytic counterparts with √
kr̥
‘do, make’
Authors: Roy Alex 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Several of the synthetic denominative stems known in the earliest Vedic texts correspond to synonymous analytic constructions employing the verbs √
kr̥
‘make, do’ and √
dhā
‘place’. The relative frequencies of homologous synthetic and analytic expressions may follow several diachronic trajectories, of which two are common: (1) the denominative dominates in the older layers of the texts; or (2) analytic tokens outnumber denominatives in the same chronological setting. The facts of distribution motivate the argument that certain denominatives (those of the first type) belong to a high register in the inherited lexicon while others (of the second type) are innovative formations recently incorporated into priestly poetic vocabulary. It is further proposed that (1) the synchronic functional range of the root √
kr̥
fostered a great deal of surface ambiguity and (2) the denominatives following the second distribution trajectory are neologisms consciously coined in the context of this ambiguity.
What is Wrong with Methodological Nationalism? An Argument About Discrimination
Authors: Milioni Anna 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Methodological nationalism is a cognitive bias that construes states as the natural and necessary form of contemporary social organisation. This gives rise to a state-centred view which naturalises national communities, exaggerates the differences between citizens and migrants, and exceptionalises international migration. In this paper, I argue that methodological nationalism is not only empirically inaccurate, but also normatively problematic, because its assumptions prevent migration ethicists from properly theorising about discrimination. I begin by briefly presenting methodological nationalism and clarifying some misconceptions. I also identify some features that would make a policy discriminatory and show that many contemporary migration policies are discriminatory. Looking at three variants of methodological nationalism (naturalisation, territorialisation, and ignorance), I argue that methodological nationalism marginalises concerns about discrimination in migration ethics and prevents migration ethicists from developing accounts that would be able to counter xenophobic arguments. Last, I consider the implications of my argument for migration ethics.
