The Proof of Bindu as the Source of Determinate Knowledge. Ratnatrayaparīkṣā 45–70ab with a Critical Edition of an Unpublished Anonymous Commentary
Authors: Saito Akane , Sferra Francesco 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The paper covers a topic that sits between theology and philosophy of language and is based on completely unpublished material. The bulk of the paper consists in the critical edition and annotated translation of a section of an unpublished and anonymous commentary on the Ratnatrayaparīkṣā by Śrīkaṇṭha. This section describes the transition of the indeterminate knowledge to the determined one according to the early Śaiva Siddhānta perspective. The introduction contains parts that are more “philological” or “historical” and others that are more “philosophical”. The paper contains one appendix on the significant variant readings of the mūla text.
Loving the Brine Shrimp: Exploring Queer Feminist Blue Posthumanities to Reimagine the ‘America’s Dead Sea’
Authors: Jarosz Ewelina 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe article aims to transform narratives surrounding Utah’s Great Salt Lake, often referred to as “America’s Dead Sea,” by reimagining how brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) are perceived in science, culture, and art. It introduces the concept of hydrosexuality to bridge these realms, thereby enriching feminist blue posthumanities and feminist biology through art-based practices and queer advocacy. By navigating the environmental narrative of the GSL, the hydrosexual perspective challenges settler science by exploring the connections between the reproductive system of brine shrimp and the economy, ecology and culture. The article provides a framework for integrative cultural analysis that bolsters arguments about the multilayered exploitation of the lake and amplifies voices that recognize the brine shrimp as vital to the survival of multiple species and to the GSL as a unique ecosystem. Furthermore, this cultural analysis draws inspiration from low trophic theory and Queer Death Studies. This multifaceted approach is exemplified by two case studies in the arts, which gradually alter white humans’ perceptions and understandings of the brine shrimp, helping to reimagine the GSL in the context of rapid climate change.
Traditions of Equality: The Archaeology of Egalitarianism and Egalitarian Behavior in Sub-Saharan Africa (First and Second Millennium CE)
Authors: González-Ruibal Alfredo 
Published: November 2024

AbstractInterest in egalitarianism and egalitarian behavior in complex societies has grown in recent years, spurred by anarchist approaches and collective action theory. Sub-Saharan Africa, however, has seldom figured in the discussions, despite the fact that it has been historically home to a diversity of societies that have either rejected political centralization altogether or put limits to it. The aim of this article is to examine, from an archaeological point of view, the forms of resistance that have restricted—or thwarted—monarchic power in the continent during the last two millennia. For this, I use the concept of traditions of equality. They can be defined as sets of political practices that are materially constituted, shaped by culture and transmitted through collective memory and that generate and structure egalitarian behavior in any given society. They occur across different types of sociopolitical organizations, from undivided societies of hunter-gatherers to strongly hierarchized kingdoms. Here, I will explore six of such traditions as they operate in Sub-Saharan Africa: relocation and isolation, anarchic and heterarchical settlements, adverse sacralization, equalizing technologies, counterinfrastructures, and revolution.
Exploring teachers’ eye-tracking data and professional noticing when viewing a 360 video of elementary mathematics

Published: November 2024

AbstractResearch incorporating either eye-tracking technology or immersive technology (virtual reality and 360 video) into studying teachers’ professional noticing is recent. Yet, such technologies allow a better understanding of the embodied nature of professional noticing. Thus, the goal of the current study is to examine how teachers’ eye-gaze in immersive representations of practice correspond to their attending to children’s mathematics. Using a mixed methods approach, we incorporated eye-tracking technology embedded within a virtual reality environment to compare novice and expert teachers’ gaze duration with quality of professional noticing. Findings and results both corroborate and extend previous research evidence about important differences in professional noticing between expert and novice teachers. Specifically, the amount of experience, and thus familiarity, teachers have with being in a classroom may affect their physical movement in both real and virtual representations of practice. Additionally, findings and results emphasize the importance of teachers’ visual focus on students’ doing of mathematics across the classroom.
Using network analysis to elucidate the relationships among support systems, trauma and depressive symptoms, self-silencing, and risk of HIV viral non-suppression among black women living with HIV

Published: November 2024

AbstractHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a major public health issue in the United States (US) and Black women living with HIV (BWLWH) are disproportionately impacted among women. This study investigates the complexities in influences of family, friend, and special person support systems and their association with post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms (PTSD), depressive symptoms, gendered coping (self-silencing), and a composite HIV risk score related to risk of viral non-suppression through missed medical visits, low medication adherence, and high viral load. Cross-sectional data among BWLWH were analyzed using network analyses via RStudio. Data from 119 BWLWH was reduced to 104, because of missing data on indicators as well as pairwise deletion for the correlation function. Findings revealed variances based on the type of network. For composite risk scores, friend support source had a weak to moderate significant correlation, while symptoms of PTSD and depression only showed a weak positive correlation with the composite risk variable through self-silencing as a form of coping. The post-hoc analysis showed a strong correlation with care as self-sacrifice, based on the composite risk score. Based on the findings from this study, insight was given into symptoms for depression and PTSD, as well as self-silencing and viral non-suppression risk in relation to sources of support for BWLWH. Future interventions to improve the overall health of BWLWH may benefit from incorporating support from friends and lowering care as self-sacrifice.
How ChatGPT Changed the Media’s Narratives on AI: A Semi-automated Narrative Analysis Through Frame Semantics
Authors: Ryazanov Igor , Öhman Carl , Björklund Johanna 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWe perform a mixed-method frame semantics-based analysis on a dataset of more than 49,000 sentences collected from 5846 news articles that mention AI. The dataset covers the twelve-month period centred around the launch of OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT and is collected from the most visited open-access English-language news publishers. Our findings indicate that during the six months succeeding the launch, media attention rose tenfold—from already historically high levels. During this period, discourse has become increasingly centred around experts and political leaders, and AI has become more closely associated with dangers and risks. A deeper review of the data also suggests a qualitative shift in the types of threat AI is thought to represent, as well as the anthropomorphic qualities ascribed to it.

Abstract
The urgent need for sustainable waste management has led to the exploration of upcycling waste plastics and biomass as viable solutions. In 2018, global plastic production reached 359 million tonnes, with an estimated 12000 million tonnes projected to be delivered and disposed of in landfills by 2050. Unfortunately, current waste management practices result in only 19.5% of plastics being recycled, while the rest is either landfilled (55%) or incinerated (25.5%). The improper disposal of plastics contributes to issues such as soil and groundwater contamination, air pollution, and wildlife disturbance. On the other hand, biomass has the potential to deliver around 240 exajoules of energy per year by 2060. However, its current utilization remains relatively small, with only approximately 9% of biomass-derived energy being consumed in Europe in 2017. This review explores various upcycling methods for waste plastics and biomass, including mechanical, chemical, biological, and thermal approaches. It also highlights the applications of upcycled plastics and biomass in sectors such as construction, packaging, energy generation, and chemicals. The environmental and economic benefits of upcycling are emphasized, including the reduction of plastic pollution, preservation of natural resources, carbon footprint reduction, and circular economy advancement.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), triggered a global emergency that exposed the urgent need for surveillance approaches to monitor the dynamics of viral transmission. Several epidemiological tools that may help anticipate outbreaks have been developed. Wastewater-based epidemiology is a non-invasive and population-wide methodology for tracking the epidemiological evolution of the virus. However, thorough evaluation and understanding of the limitations, robustness, and intricacies of wastewater-based epidemiology are still pending to effectively use this strategy. The aim of this study was to train highly accurate predictive models using SARS-CoV-2 virus concentrations in wastewater in a region consisting of several municipalities. The chosen region was Catalonia (Spain) given the availability of wastewater SARS-CoV-2 quantification from the Catalan surveillance network and healthcare data (clinical cases) from the regional government. By using various feature engineering and machine learning methods, we developed a model that can accurately predict and successfully generalize across the municipalities that make up Catalonia. Explainable Machine Learning frameworks were also used, which allowed us to understand the factors that influence decision-making. Our findings support wastewater-based epidemiology as a potential surveillance tool to assist public health authorities in anticipating and monitoring outbreaks.

Published: November 2024

SummaryFieldwork, examination of herbarium specimens and photographic images, supported by molecular sequencing have resulted in the re-interpretation of a number of species of Ipomoea L. found in Ecuador and the recognition of four new species. Ipomoea ophiodes Standl. & Steyerm. is shown to be a distinct species from I. regnellii Meisn. and their contrasting distribution is mapped. An unusual variation in I. setosa Ker Gawl. is discussed and illustrated. It is shown that, whereas I. velardei O’Donell is present in the south of Ecuador, records of I. jujuyensis O’Donell are probably all errors for I. quitensis J.R.I.Wood & Cerón, which is described as a new species endemic to Ecuador. Three other endemic species all known from single locations, I. ceronii J.R.I.Wood & P.Muñoz, I. condorensis J.R.I.Wood & Scotland and I. papyrifera J.R.I.Wood & Scotland are described as new. The full distribution of I. aequatoriensis T.Wells & P.Muñoz is mapped as a result of recent fieldwork and I. amazonica (D.F.Austin & Staples) J.R.I.Wood & Scotland is recorded from Ecuador for the first time. Taxonomic notes, information on habitat and distribution, maps, line drawings and photographs illustrate the species discussed. A key to all 57 species of Ipomoea recorded from Ecuador is provided to facilitate identification.
Impact of exciton fine structure on the energy transfer in magic-sized (CdSe)13 clusters

Published: November 2024

AbstractMagic-sized (CdSe)13 clusters (MSCs) represent a material class at the boundary between molecules and quantum dots that exhibit a pronounced and well separated excitonic fine structure. The characteristic photoluminescence is composed of exciton bandgap emission and a spectrally broad mid-gap emission related to surface defects. Here, we report on a thermally activated energy transfer from fine-structure split exciton states to surface states by using temperature dependent photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. We demonstrate that the broad mid-gap emission can be suppressed by a targeted Mn-doping of the MSC leading to the characteristic orange luminescence of the 4T1 → 6A1 Mn2+ transition. The energy transfer to the Mn2+ states is found to be significantly different than the transfer to the surface defect states, as the activation of the dopant emission requires a spin-conserving charge carrier transfer that only dark excitons can provide.
Arabidopsis ubiquitin ligase PUB41 positively regulates ABA-mediated seed dormancy and drought response
Authors: Sharma Avinash , Goldfarb Shalev , Raveh Dina , Bar-Zvi Dudy 
Published: November 2024

AbstractSeed germination is a tightly regulated, non-reversible developmental process, and it is crucial to prevent premature germination under conditions that may not allow the plant’s life cycle to be completed. The plant hormone ABA is the key regulator of seed dormancy and inhibition of germination. ABA is also involved in the plant response to drought. Here we report on the involvement of Arabidopsis thaliana PUB41, encoding a U-BOX E3 ubiquitin ligase, in regulating ABA signaling, seed dormancy, germination, and drought resilience. AtPUB41 is expressed in most vegetative and reproductive tissues. AtPUB41 protein is localized in the cytosol and nucleus. pub41 T-DNA insertion mutants display reduced seed dormancy, and their germination is less inhibited by exogenous ABA than seeds of wild-type plants. pub41 mutant plants are also hypersensitive to drought. ABA induces AtPUB41 promoter activity and steady-state mRNA levels in the roots. Our data suggest that AtPUB41 is a positive regulator of ABA signaling.
Ectosymbionts improve host gill function in a freshwater cleaning symbiosis

Published: November 2024

AbstractMutualisms are common interactions that involve a diverse array of taxa. An important aspect in the study of mutualisms is determining the mechanisms that underlie benefits in survival, growth and reproduction of the partner species involved. Crayfish are engaged in mutualisms with ectosymbiotic worms called branchiobdellidans. These worms benefit by using their crayfish hosts as safe habitat and sites for feeding and reproduction. Some of these worm species can improve crayfish survival and growth. We hypothesized that the worms influenced crayfish survival and growth by cleaning their gills of debris and fouling biota and that this cleaning would increase rates of host gas exchange and ammonia excretion. Using surveys and experiments, we examined the effect of the worms on crayfish ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption. There were positive effects of increasing worm density on ammonia excretion by crayfish hosts in both our survey and experiment. No effect of worm density was observed on oxygen consumption in either our survey or experiment. However, molt status of the surveyed crayfish (intermolt/premolt vs. recently molted) did affect oxygen uptake. Recently molted crayfish, which should have gill epithelia largely free of fouling organisms and debris, had higher levels of dissolved oxygen uptake than intermolt/premolt crayfish which should have had higher levels of gill fouling. Increased ammonia excretion at moderate worm densities likely underlies the increased survival and growth responses observed at these densities in previous experiments. Increased growth of crayfish hosting worms probably influences the impacts of these crustaceans on the benthic communities they occupy.

AbstractThis paper presents the activities performed in the GARTEUR Action Group HC/AG-26 to study the acoustic and aerodynamic characteristics of small rotor configurations, including the influence of the rotor-rotor interactions. This paper will focus on comparisons between numerical activities and wind tunnel results on a small rotor provided by DLR. The wind tunnel models included a Rotor/Rotor/Pylon in isolated, tandem and coaxial configuration. The wind tunnel experiments for acoustics were performed in DLR’s Acoustic Wind Tunnel Braunschweig (AWB) and PIV test were performed in CIRA within a joint CIRA/DLR test program. For simulations, the numerical approaches from each partner are applied. The aerodynamic simulations necessary for the aeroacoustic predictions are conducted with various fidelity numerical methods, varying from lifting line to CFD. The acoustic values on the microphone positions are evaluated using Ffowcs Williams/Hawking (FW-H) formulation by all partners. The acoustic and aerodynamic predictions are compared to test data, including performance, PIV and acoustic directivity.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Research on urban ecosystem services (ES) covers many regions globally, yet significant gaps remain in several areas, including Russia. Furthermore, the number of publications on Russian ES is still very low, and most of them focus on ES assessment on the national level which results in an incomplete understanding of ES provision in Russian cities. To fill this gap, 197 publications on urban ES have been systematically reviewed. Those mostly included research on urban ES in Russia as well as in other cities of the world that represented case studies within international collaborations of Russian scientists with other partners. The paper presents the main aspects of the ES concept adoption and operationalizing in the Russian scientific discourse, by providing an overview of the current research on the relationships between humans and urban ecosystems. Spatially, the majority of studies focused on large cities; herewith field surveys, statistical analysis, expert evaluations, and mapping were often used as the main research methods. Four key challenge areas have been revealed: anthropogenic pressure on soils and vegetation, urban green spaces (UGS) and their quantity and quality for ES provision, the value of ES assessment for urban planning, and payments for ES. To address these challenges, future research should focus on the role of urban ES for city resilience and sustainability, ecosystem disservices, rural–urban interactions, broader testing and validation of ES mapping and assessment as well as better integration of ES in economic, regulatory and compensation mechanisms.

Abstract

Introduction
Brodalumab is a human interleukin-17 receptor A antagonist indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and have failed to respond or have lost response to other systemic therapies. In the USA, brodalumab has a boxed warning regarding suicidal ideation and behavior and is only available under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, but no causal association has been established. To assess long-term safety of brodalumab, we summarize pharmacovigilance data from 6 years of real-world clinical practice.

Methods
Crude adverse event (AE) reporting rates per 100 patients were calculated for common AEs and AEs of special interest reported to Ortho Dermatologics by US patients and healthcare providers from August 15, 2017 through August 14, 2023. Brodalumab exposure was estimated as time from the first to last prescription-dispensing authorization dates. Adverse events were defined by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities v26.0 Preferred Terms and standardized MedDRA queries.

Results
Data were collected from 5138 US patients (estimated exposure of 6900 patient-years). Over 6 years, 13 cases of adjudicated major adverse cardiovascular events were reported (0.25 events/100 patients). The rate of serious infections was 2.20 events/100 patients. Since the 5-year report, there was one new case of Candida infection and a serious fungal infection of the elbow. Among 57 reported malignancies affecting 49 patients, 4 were deemed possibly related to brodalumab. One new case of indeterminate inflammatory bowel disease unrelated to brodalumab was reported. No new suicide attempts were reported in year 6, and there were no completed suicides throughout 6 years.

Conclusion
Pharmacovigilance data throughout 6 years are consistent with the safety profile of brodalumab established in clinical trials and previous US pharmacovigilance reports, with no completed suicides and a low fungal infection rate.
