Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Myofascial pain characterized by myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is a common cause of musculoskeletal pain and the main cause of neck and shoulder pain in the working population. Thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) is a new modality that can provide long-term stimulation to prolong the same therapeutic effect as conventional acupuncture. This study aimed to determine the effect of TEA therapy on pain score, neck disability index (NDI), and pressure pain threshold (PPT) for myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle.

Methods
The research design in this study was a double-blind, randomized clinical trial. This study with 44 research subjects was divided into TEA group (n=22) and sham TEA group (n=22). Both groups will receive TEA therapy once using CARA brand monofilament polydioxanone thread 29Gx50 mm or sham TEA (thread removed) at one trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle which will be followed-up on 3 days, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks post-therapy.

Results
Both groups experienced significantly reduced pain intensity and disability, also increased PPT at 3 days, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks post-therapy (p<0.001). TEA therapy had better effectiveness in improving pain intensity at 4 weeks (p=0.007) and 8 weeks post-therapy (p=0.004), NDI scores at 8 weeks post-therapy (p=0.004), and PPT at 4 weeks (p=0.04) and 8 weeks post-therapy (p=0.002) compared to sham TEA.

Conclusion
TEA reduced pain intensity and disability, and increased PPT for patients with myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle.
Examining generative image models amidst privacy regulations
Authors: Ismael Hannah 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
As diffusion models emerge as a new frontier in generative AI, requiring vast image databases as their inputs, the question arises: how should regulators approach policies concerning the collection and utilization of these images? Though generative image models currently interpret the data they scrape as public, regulatory bodies have yet to confirm this as a viable understanding. This paper explores the current public/personal distinction of data as well as the respective legal standards for both categories in both the American and European context. This paper acts as a guide for regulators seeking to understand monopolization and privacy implications of confirming the validity of using open sourced images versus imagining a reality of curated or licensed datasets amidst outrage from artists over a breach of an expectation of collection/use to their artwork. Though arguments have been made regarding using copyright to protect artists, this paper seeks to explore other pathways for regulating generative image models under our current conceptual frameworks of privacy.

Revisiting the Notion of Vicarious Cause: Allure, Metaphor, and Realism in Object-Oriented Ontology
Authors: Cogburn Jon , Young Niki 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We revisit the notion of vicarious causation in Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) in order to first show that Harman has articulated two iterations of his account that are in tension with one another; one is found in his earlier paper “On Vicarious Causation,” while the other is contained in his later writings following the publication of Object-Oriented Ontology: A New Theory of Everything. This involves a critical assessment of his developing theory of metaphor in a way that encourages sympathetic revision in the service of improving his non-correlationist view of intra-objective relations.
Revival Churches Abuses and Well-Being in Cameroon
Authors: Mpabe Bodjongo Mathieu Juliot 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper examines how individuals value the establishment of a regulatory mechanism for revival churches (RCs). The analysis focuses on a sample of 1,475 individuals living in the Cameroonian cities of Yaoundé and Douala, based on a field survey. Drawing on theoretical and empirical literature, particularly in the fields of economics of religion, regulatory economics, and experimental economics, the econometric results obtained using the choice experiment method and a nested logit model show that individuals are in favor of setting up a mechanism to reduce the abuses of revival churches having as attributes: (i) “the census of RCs and their pastors”, (ii) the closure of RCs whose pastors have not received theological training from an accredited school, and (iii) the closure of rented RCs. These people are willing to pay 176 XAF for “the census of RCs and their pastors”, 140 XAF for “the closure of RCs where pastors have not received theological training from an accredited school”, and 253 XAF for “the closure of rented RCs”.
On the Invariance Result of Liability Rules in Oligopoly
Authors: Kim Daewon , Kim Jeong-Yoo 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we revisit the invariance result of liability rules established by Polinsky (1980. “Strict Liability vs. Negligence in a Market Setting.” The American Economic Review 70: 363–7) and Shavell (1980. “Strict Liability Versus Negligence.” Journal of Legal Studies 9: 1–25) in oligopoly. We show that in the case of linear demand functions, symmetric duopoly firms produce less than the efficient quantity levels under all of the no liability rule, the strict liability rule and the negligence rule but they take the efficient level of care under the strict liability rule and the negligence rule whereas they take no care under no liability rule. Thus, the invariance result does not hold in the case of duopoly. So, contrary to the invariance result, our result has an important implication that the liability rule in addition to the price plays a crucial role in providing a proper incentive to duopoly firms. Instead, we establish a weaker version of invariance result between the strict liability rule and the negligence rule in oligopoly with general demand functions.

Resumo: O presente artigo busca, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica, discutir algumas questões relacionadas a vida das mulheres trabalhadoras britânicas no contexto da Segunda Guerra Mundial e no imediato pós-guerra. O impacto da guerra trouxe alterações significativas no que tange à inserção dessas mulheres no mercado de trabalho, interferindo momentaneamente na relação entre os gêneros, trazendo à tona novos conflitos e expondo os limites dos avanços ocorridos no período. O debate sobre a igualdade salarial e as controvérsias em torno do trabalho doméstico se mostraram questões centrais no debate a respeito do trabalho feminino. Com a construção do Estado de bem-estar social a partir de 1945, as mesmas questões se manifestaram novamente, agora a partir da lógica específica do Estado social britânico, apresentando os mesmos limites estruturais. Em diferentes conjunturas, as hierarquias de gênero se mostram estruturantes do modo de produção capitalista.Palavras-chave: Mulheres trabalhadoras; Segunda Guerra Mundial; Pós-Guerra; Grã-Bretanha.Abstract: Based on a literature review, this article seeks to discuss some issues related to the lives of British working women in the context of the Second World War and the immediate post-war period.

The debate on equal pay and the disputes surrounding domestic work have become central issues in the debate on women's work. With the construction of the welfare State after 1945, the same questions arose again, now based on the specific logic of the British Welfare State, but presenting the same structural limits.

Совет по изучению производительных сил (СОПС) был создан Академией наук СССР в 1930 г. с целью комплексного изучения природных ресурсов страны. В статье рассмотрены основные мероприятия СОПС по развертыванию научно-исследовательских работ в Бурят-Монгольской АССР в первой половине 1930-х гг. При его участии на территории республики проводились полевые изыскания гуманитарной направленности - экспедиция по изучению дацанов под руководством А.И. Вострикова, лингвистическая экспедиция под началом Н.Н. Поппе и антропологическая экспедиция Г.И. Петрова, а также была организована первая конференция по изучению производительных сил данной территории. Исследование базируется на опубликованной делопроизводственной документации СОПС и на материалах, представленных в научной периодике. Автором применен социальный подход к истории науки.
The Academy of Sciences of the USSR established the Council for the Study of Productive Forces for the purpose of comprehensive study of the country’s natural resources. It arose in 1930 during the reorganization of the Academy of Sciences on the basis of the pre-existing Commission for the Study of Natural Productive Forces which had similar goals. The Council was part of the structure of the Academy of Sciences for the next three decades, until its transfer to the department of the USSR State Planning Committee in the early 1960s. During this long period, the Council provided overall guidance, organization and conduct of scientific expeditions in various regions of the USSR. The responsibilities of the Council also included the organization, management and planning of work on the study of the productive forces in the laboratories and institutes of the Academy of Sciences. In the 1930s, the Council became the main instrument for adapting the Academy of Sciences to the demands of the government. With the help of the Council, the Academy of Sciences got involved in the development of major national economic programs that allowed it to maintain the status of the main scientific organization of the country (the most important projects of the 1930s in which the Council was involved were the Ural-Kuznetsk industrial complex and the Baikal-Amur Mainline). In the early 1930s, due to the needs of economic development of the country, the Council concentrated main research in the eastern regions. The article is devoted to the activities of the Council for the Study of Productive Forces on the territory of Buryat-Mongolia. It covers the period from 1931, when the Council conducted its first scientific expeditions in the territory of the republic, until 1934, when the Council organized a special conference on the study of productive forces of Buryat-Mongolia, which was the last scientific event related to the republic in the pre-war period.

Parent Perspectives on Nirsevimab for Their Newborn
Authors: Hinderstein Sarah , Aragona Elena , Loyal Jaspreet 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
In 2023, nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), was approved in the United States to be given to infants to prevent bronchiolitis, a leading cause of pediatric hospitalizations. We sought to better understand how parents of otherwise healthy newborns would respond to this recommendation.

METHODS
We conducted semistructured interviews of purposefully sampled parents of newborns admitted to the well newborn unit between November 2023 and February 2024. Interviews were performed in a constant comparative manner until thematic sufficiency was reached using the Health Beliefs Model as a conceptual framework.

RESULTS
We conducted 28 interviews: 38% of participants planned to give nirsevimab to their newborn, 25% did not plan to, and 38% were unsure. Four major themes emerged: (1) Major knowledge gaps existed about RSV prophylaxis; (2) trust in pediatrician’s recommendation and fear of RSV infection contributed to uptake; (3) parents deferring RSV prophylaxis were concerned about side effects, wanted more time to decide, felt the maternal RSV vaccine was sufficient, and trusted their own prevention measures; and (4) there was misinformation about nirsevimab among parents including a perception that nirsevimab is a new understudied vaccine with similarities to the COVID-19 vaccine. Application of the Health Beliefs Model highlighted actionable opportunities to positively influence decision making around perceived susceptibility and RSV disease severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action.

CONCLUSIONS
Increasing overall awareness of both nirsevimab and RSV in infants, starting conversations during pregnancy to combat misinformation, leveraging trusting relationships with pediatricians and prenatal clinicians can help with future uptake.

Published: November 2024

Introducción. El cambio en el uso del suelo en la Península de Yucatán ha impactado en la vegetación, con influencia en el sistema milpa que depende de dicho recurso, y en consecuencia, disminuyen la fertilidad del suelo y el rendimiento de los cultivos. La agricultura de conservación (AC) con diversificación de cultivos, labranza cero y cobertura del suelo, es una opción para mejorar la producción sustentable de alimentos. Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de tres tratamientos con prácticas de AC en el rendimiento y componentes del grano de maíz (Zea mays L.) en la milpa. Materiales y métodos. El experimento se estableció en Yaxcabá, Yucatán. Se utilizó un diseño experimental de bloques completos al azar con un control y tres tratamientos; T1 (control): Maíz, frijol ib o frijol lima, calabaza+fertilización con fosfato diamónico (DAP), T2: Maíz, frijol ib o frijol lima, calabaza+fertilización con estiércol ovino (EO), T3: Maíz, lenteja de milpa o frijol gandúl, calabaza+fertilización con EO y T4: Maíz, frijol terciopelo+EO. Se aplicó 100 kg ha-1 de DAP en T1, en los demás tratamientos 4 t ha-1 de EO. Se sembró maíz de la raza Tuxpeño. Las variables dependientes fueron número de plantas, número de mazorcas, humedad del grano, coeficiente de desgrane y rendimiento de grano. Resultados. El número de plantas, humedad del grano y coeficiente de desgrane fueron similares (p>0,05) en todos los tratamientos. En el número de mazorcas y rendimiento de grano hubo significancia (p≤0,05) con un valor mayor de ambas variables en T2, el cual incrementó en 3,500 el número de mazorcas y 327 kg ha-1 el rendimiento de grano, respecto a T1. Conclusión. Con el tratamiento T2 se pudo incrementar el número de mazorcas y rendimiento de grano de maíz en la milpa desde el primer ciclo de cultivo al establecerse prácticas de AC.

Introducción. El ñame es un cultivo importante en varias regiones de Costa Rica. A pesar de ello, las pérdidas poscosecha son altas y no están cuantificadas. Objetivo. El estudio se realizó para determinar las causas del deterioro de calidad y pérdidas poscosecha en zonas productoras de ñame ubicadas en los cantones localizados en las provincias de Alajuela, Heredia y Limón. Materiales y métodos. Se determinó la calidad de los tubérculos en dos momentos del proceso poscosecha: 1) durante la etapa de curado (15 a 30 días a 25-30°C y 85% HR) y 2) al finalizar la simulación de envío a mercado (16°C y 85% HR durante 28 días). En ambas etapas se midieron las siguientes variables de calidad: peso; longitud; número de golpes por tubérculo y número de estrías abiertas o cerradas por tubérculo; incidencia de moho superficial y de corte, pudrición externa e incidencia de pudrición por nematodos. Resultados. Al finalizar el curado, la presencia de estrías abiertas fue importante en algunas zonas (30% incidencia en San Carlos), la presencia de mohos superficiales y en corte de cosecha (hasta 21% incidencia de ambos factores en Upala), los daños por nematodos (35 % incidencia en Pococí), aunado a variaciones de tamaño (largo, ancho y peso) fueron factores importantes de pérdidas. Concluida la simulación de transporte, la presencia de daños por nematodos (hasta 35% incidencia), presencia de moho superficial (15% incidencia) y en el corte de cosecha (hasta 49% incidencia), y pudriciones externas (hasta 5% incidencia) fueron causas relevantes de pérdidas. Conclusión. Los resultados apuntan hacia la necesidad de hacer en las zonas de estudio, una revisión integral de las prácticas de cultivo y poscosecha con el fin de reducir los factores causantes de los defectos de calidad identificados.
