What It Means to Be Human: A Response to Harzheim
Authors: Lockhart Ezra N.S. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This response engages critically with Harzheim’s review of Thomas Fuchs’ In Defense of the Human Being: Foundational Questions of an Embodied Anthropology. Fuchs’ work offers a profound exploration of embodied cognition, arguing that human cognition and existence are deeply shaped by our physical interactions. Harzheim’s critique highlights significant aspects of Fuchs’ framework, including his critique of functionalist models, the impact of transhumanist technologies, and ethical concerns in healthcare technology. This paper extends Harzheim’s review by proposing an integration of functionalist and embodied cognitive models, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive evaluation of technological impacts, and advocating for a more robust ethical framework that considers social equity. Additionally, it addresses the is-ought distinction and explores the implications of technological advancements on human identity and mental health. Doede’s critique is also discussed, underscoring the importance of integrating diverse cognitive models and addressing technological determinism. Overall, this response calls for a more nuanced and inclusive approach to the discourse on embodied cognition, aiming to enrich the scholarly conversation and address the complexities and implications of Fuchs’ analysis.
The Weight of It All

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Sociologists often interpret racial differences in help-seeking behavior in the United States as stemming from differences in cultural capital, an implication being that those who hesitate to seek help lack understanding of how important it is for success. In this paper, we draw on the work of W. E. B Du Bois and research on gender and racial stereotypes to show that it is not a lack of understanding about the importance of help-seeking, but rather, Black women’s double consciousness that underlies their reluctance to seek help relative to White women. Through twenty-nine in-depth interviews with Black and White college-aged women, we investigate how they make meaning of two competing ideals: the need to be seen as a strong woman and the need for help and social support. We identify a discourse around gender stereotypes for White participants and intersectional stereotypes for Black participants. Where Black and White women experience a consciousness born out of their marginalization relative to men, comparing how they differently navigate stereotypes about strong women reveals the analytic power of Du Bois’s concept of double consciousness. First, the “veil” reveals the racialized gender stereotypes Black women worry they might confirm by seeking help. Second, Black women’s sense of “twoness” means they more often than White women saw their help-seeking behaviors as reflecting negatively on their broader community. Finally, consistent with Du Bois’s point that “second sight” brings awareness but not liberation, we find that even though Black women were hyperaware of the disadvantages of not seeking help, they tended more often than White women to reach a breaking point before seeking it.
ABCs of base therapy in neonatology: role of acetate, bicarbonate, citrate and lactate

Published: November 2024

AbstractMetabolic acidosis is common in preterm and term newborn infants and may be attributed to a variety of etiologies, potentially requiring base therapy such as acetate or bicarbonate. However, concerns exist regarding potential harm of sodium bicarbonate due to intracellular acidosis, fluctuations in cerebral blood flow, and osmolar load with rapid infusions, with no improvement in survival when used during resuscitation. Alternative approaches to correct metabolic acidosis include the addition of acetate in parenteral nutrition, intravenous lactated Ringer’s (LR) solution, and use of oral citrate. Current guidelines focus on addressing the underlying cause of acidosis, reserving the use of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) for severe cases requiring acute correction, LR instead of saline for volume boluses and using acetate or citrate for slow correction to stabilize acid-base status. Further research is necessary to better understand the efficacy and safety of acetate, NaHCO3, and other base sources in treating metabolic acidosis in neonates.

AbstractThis study represents the first large-scale investigation of rare (<1% population frequency) copy number variants (CNVs) in anorexia nervosa (AN). Large, rare CNVs are reported to be causally associated with anthropometric traits, neurodevelopmental disorders, and schizophrenia, yet their role in the genetic basis of AN is unclear. Using genome-wide association study (GWAS) array data from the Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative (ANGI), which included 7414 AN case and 5044 controls, we investigated the association of 67 well-established syndromic CNVs and 178 pleiotropic disease-risk dosage-sensitive CNVs with AN. To identify novel CNV regions (CNVRs) that increase the risk of AN, we conducted genome-wide association studies with a focus on rare CNV-breakpoints (CNV-GWAS). We found no net enrichment of rare CNVs, either deletions or duplications, in AN, and none of the well-established syndromic or pleiotropic CNVs had a significant association with AN status. However, the CNV-GWAS found 21 nominally associated CNVRs that contribute to AN risk, covering protein-coding genes implicated in synaptic function, metabolic/mitochondrial factors, and lipid characteristics, like the CD36 (7q21.11) gene, which transports long-chain fatty acids into cells. CNVRs intersecting genes previously related to neurodevelopmental traits include deletions of NRXN1 intron 5 (2p16.3), IMMP2L (7q31.1), and PTPRD (9p23). Overall, given that our study is well powered to detect the CNV burden level reported for schizophrenia, we can conclude that rare CNVs have a limited role in the etiology of AN, as reported for bipolar disorder. Our nominal associations for the 21 discovered CNVRs are consistent with AN being a metabo-psychiatric trait, as demonstrated by the common genetic architecture of AN, and we provide association results to allow for replication in future research.

AbstractWater scarcity poses a significant challenge to agricultural production, prompting the development of sustainable technologies to optimize water resource utilization. This study focuses on the synthesis and application of a multifunctional poly (vinylpyrrolidone); PVP-based superabsorbent hydrogel (SAH) for controlled release of essential fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) and enhanced water retention in soil. The hydrogel was prepared via a facile one-step approach and compared to a control soil without hydrogel amendment. The reaction was initiated in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) to produce a PVP-based copolymer hydrogel. The hydrogel was then subjected to a basic treatment using either sodium hydroxide (hydrogel #1) or potassium hydroxide (hydrogel #2). The PVP-based SAH exhibited excellent swelling capacity, water retention, and fertilizer release properties. When applied to Pisum sativum plants under drought stress, the hydrogel significantly improved soil moisture levels, nutrient availability, and plant growth parameters compared to the control. The hydrogel #2-amended plants demonstrated enhanced biomass, chlorophyll content, and photosynthetic efficiency, highlighting the hydrogel’s effectiveness in mitigating the adverse effects of drought stress. These findings demonstrate the potential of the PVP-based SAH as a promising strategy for sustainable agriculture, offering using readily available and inexpensive raw materials, suggesting a relatively low-cost and scalable production process. Furthermore, the hydrogel facilitates water conservation, controlled nutrient delivery, and improved plant performance under drought stress conditions.

AbstractFunctionalization of cellulose with nanomaterials and functional groups is essential for enhancing its properties for specific applications, such as flexible sensors and printed electronics. This study employs Hartree Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the vibrational spectra of cellulose, identifying DFT: B3LYP/3–21 g** as the optimal model aligning with experimental spectra. Using this model, we examined the impact of functionalizing cellulose with various groups (OH, NH2, COOH, CH3, CHO, CN, SH) and graphene oxide (GO) on its electronic properties. The results indicate that cellulose functionalized with GO (Cellulose-GO) has the lowest bandgap energy (0.1687 eV), and improvements in reactivity, stability, and electronic properties were confirmed through Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MESP) and Total Dipole Moment (TDM) analyses. The spectrum of Density of States (DOS) for the cellulose functionalized with different groups shows several peaks, indicating various energy levels where electronic states are concentrated. The Projected Density of States (PDOS) analysis reveals how different functional groups affect the electronic structure of cellulose. Moreover, the (Cellulose-GO) composite was characterized using an Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectrometer, revealing interaction through the OH group of CH2OH, as indicated by a new band at 1710 cm−1, consistent with theoretical predictions. Overall, this study demonstrates that functionalization with GO enhances cellulose’s responsiveness, degradation, and electrical properties, making it suitable for applications in flexible electronic devices and protective barriers against corrosion.

Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Das Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, die gesundheitlichen
Veränderungen während der medizinischen Rehabilitation nach COVID-19 und
potenzielle Determinanten für die Fatigue und ihre Genesung darzustellen.
Materialien und Methoden Wir berichten quantitative Daten der
Kohortenstudie einer multizentrischen Mixed-Methods-Studie. Rehabilitand*innen
wurden zu 5 Zeitpunkten zu ihrer Gesundheit und Funktionsfähigkeit befragt und
um ihre Zustimmung zur Analyse ihrer Klinikdaten gebeten. Vorliegend wurden die
ersten zwei Messzeitpunkte analysiert: Mittels t-Tests und Effektstärken (Cohens
d) erfolgte ein Vergleich zwischen Aufnahme (t0) und Entlassung
(t1). In einer multiplen linearen Regression wurden mögliche
Prädiktoren für die Fatigue und ihren Verlauf überprüft.
ErgebnisseFür 267 Rehabilitand*innen lagen Daten für t0 und
t1 sowie Klinikdaten vor. Wir fanden Verbesserungen in allen
Dimensionen (Dyspnoe, motorische Funktionsfähigkeit, Depressivität,
Ängstlichkeit,Lebensqualität und Erwerbsprognose) zum Ende der Rehabilitation.
Ein höherer motorischer Funktionsstatus, höhere Lebensqualität, höheres Alter,
geringere Depressivität und das männliche Geschlecht sind mit einer geringeren,
eine schlechtere Erwerbsprognose mit einer höheren Erschöpfung bei t0
assoziiert. Bei t1 sind eine höhere Lebensqualität und motorische
Leistungsfähigkeit mit einer geringeren Fatigue verbunden. Personen mit einer
schlechteren Erwerbsprognose bei t0 haben eine stärkere Fatigue bei
t1.
Schlussfolgerungen Die Fatigue hat eine hohe Relevanz in der
Post-COVID-Versorgung. Nur wenige untersuchte Faktoren zeigen während der
medizinischen Rehabilitation einen statistischen Zusammenhang mit der Fatigue.
Vermutlich existieren unentdeckte Prädiktoren, die weiter untersucht werden
sollten, um die rehabilitative Versorgung Post-COVID-Betroffenen zu
optimieren.

Objective This study aimed to examine the trends in the infant mortality rate (IMR) and the trends in the timing of death among periviable preterm infants at 22 to 24 weeks' gestational age (GA) in the United States from 2011 to 2020.
Study Design Retrospective, serial cross-sectional analysis of periviable preterm infants born in the United States at 22 to 24 weeks' GA using the linked birth/infant death records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data were analyzed from 2011 to 2020. The exposure was the year of death, and the outcome was the changes over time in the IMR and the timing of death. Further, we evaluated racial differences in the timing of death. We used nonparametric trend analysis to evaluate changes in mortality rate across the study period.
Results The IMR was inversely related to GA, and for each GA and race/ethnicity, the IMR significantly declined during the study period. The IMR rate was highest in the first 7 days of life for all GAs and races/ethnicities. While Non-Hispanic White infants had a higher infant neonatal mortality rate than non-Hispanic Black infants, non-Hispanic Black infants had a higher postneonatal mortality rate.
Conclusion The IMR among periviable infants born at 22 to 24 weeks' GA improved for all GAs and races in the United States between 2011 and 2020. However, significant racial differences in the timing of death exist.

Telemedizin bei psychischen Erkrankungen: Vorstellung und erste
Ergebnisse eines telefonbasierten Betreuungsansatzes
Authors: Bornemann Georg 
Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
Ziel der Studie Ein bereits in die Regelversorgung einer privaten
Krankenversicherung implementiertes und telefonbasiertes Gesundheitsprogramm für
Menschen mit depressiven und Angststörungen sowie Stressbelastung soll als
Betreuungsansatz ebenso wie erste Evaluationsergebnisse vorgestellt werden.
Methodik Grundlage des Programmes ist eine mehrmonatige telefonische
Betreuung durch medizinisches Fachpersonal. Schwerpunkte sind die Vermittlung
psychoedukativer Inhalte und verhaltenstherapeutischer Techniken inkl.
bedarfsgerechter Gewährleistung entlastender Gespräche. Im Programm wurde als
Fragebogen die deutsche Version des DASS 21 eingesetzt, der Belastung in den
Dimensionen Depression, Angst und Stress sowie eine psychische Gesamtbelastung
detektiert. Vorgestellt werden die demografischen Daten sowie die in diesem
Rahmen gewonnenen Fragebogenergebnisse aller TN aus den ersten elf Monaten des
Programmes, welche zu zwei Zeitpunkten Fragebögen ausgefüllt hatten. Die
Veränderungen der DASS 21-(Unter-)Scores nach fünf Monaten im Coaching wurden
als primäre Endpunkte festgesetzt. Die Berechnungsgrundlage stellte der t-Test
für abhängige Stichproben (Signifikanzniveau α=0,05) dar.
Ergebnisse Für 86 von 199 TN lagen zwei ausgefüllte Fragebögen vor (43,2
%). Die Population war im Durchschnitt 49,5 Jahre alt und überwiegend weiblich
(61,6 %). Durchschnittlich erstreckte sich ein Coaching über 170 (SD=58) Tage,
5,6 (1,9) Telefonate und 200 (81) Gesprächsminuten. Zu Beginn des Programmes
zeigten sich erhöhte Werte in allen Fragebogenkategorien (Depression: 7,13
[4,99]; Angst: 4,49 [4,07]; Stress: 9,85 [4,16]; Gesamt: 21,47 [11,54]). Nach
fünf Monaten konnte eine Reduktion der jeweiligen Belastungen gemessen werden
(Depression: − 2,14 [3,99], Cohen’s d=0,54; Angst: − 1,65 [3,36], d=0,49;
Stress: − 2,24 [4,81], d=0,47; Gesamt: − 6,03 [10,70]; d=0,56; p jeweils <
0,001). Aufgeschlüsselt nach Belastungsstärke zu Betreuungsbeginn zeigte sich in
einigen Unterkategorien eine mit zunehmendem Schweregrad betragsmäßig
vergrößerte Score-Reduktion bei mittleren bis großen Effektstärken.
Schlussfolgerung Das beschriebene Telefonprogramm ist als begleitender
Ansatz bei psychischen Erkrankungen vielversprechend praktikabel. Die
dargestellten Ergebnisse lassen wegen des quasi Prä-Post-Studiendesign keine
finale Aussage über eine Wirksamkeit des Programmes zu. Jedoch empfiehlt sich
auf Grundlage der gezeigten signifikanten Verbesserungen der psychischen
Belastung im Verlauf, inklusive relevanter Effektstärken, eine weitere
Evaluation dieses Settings unter kontrollierten Bedingungen.
A Classification System of Asian Noses for Rhinoplasty
Authors: Ng Chew Lip 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWhile Asian noses are generalized as having smaller bones and softer cartilages, thicker skin and soft tissue envelop (SSTE), there exists a diversity of morphology amongst Asian noses. The oversimplification of Asian noses diminishes the validity or generalizability of rhinoplasty research findings and makes comparison of outcomes challenging. A classification system is proposed that reflects the different structures and SSTEs of the nasal subtypes, the techniques required in the management of each of the subtypes, the challenges the surgeon will face intra- and postoperatively, allows for preoperative counselling of expected outcomes, and facilitate valid and fair comparison of study outcomes by comparing like for like. The classification system stratifies noses into four subtypes based on (1) the size and strength of the nasal bone and cartilages, and (2) the thickness of the SSTE. Type I noses have thinner SSTE and stronger structure. Type II noses have thinner SSTE and weaker structure. Type III noses have thicker SSTE and stronger structure. Type IV noses have thicker SSTE and weaker structure. Interrater variability in classifying noses among rhinoplasty surgeons was found to be very high with a kappa coefficient of 0.933 (95% confidence interval: 0.852–1.014; variance 0.013).

Published: November 2024

AbstractMetal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have transformed molecular synthesis. Although metal-catalyzed reactions have been used for cross-electrophile coupling reactions, they remain challenging due to homodimer formation. Recently, our group developed an iron-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of benzyl halides and disulfides to produce thioethers without the use of an exogenous reductant or photoredox conditions, and with undetectable levels of elimination. This Synpacts article highlights both our design strategy to obviate detrimental homodimer formation and the generality of the method.1	Introduction2	Conceptualization and Development3	Mechanistic Studies and Hypothesis4	Conclusion and Future Directions
Examining an Explicit Phonological Awareness Intervention: The Impact on First Sound Fluency in Young Children
Authors: Walsh Mary , Farquharson Kelly , Lombardino Linda 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe authors evaluated the ability of typically developing preschool children to acquire the phonemic awareness skill of first sound fluency (FSF) when trained through an explicit modeling treatment paradigm. Three preschool children participated in a single-case A-B-A research design in which the independent variable was shared book reading between professional and child with embedded modeling of first sounds in words and the dependent variable was the participants' ability to produce first sounds in words in response to the professional's auditory probes. A baseline phase included sessions without intervention. An intervention phase followed with sessions of explicit modeling of first sounds with hierarchal cueing and a follow-up phase. All three participants demonstrated immediate behavior change in an accelerating trend direction for FSF performance which was achieved after five sessions. However, the children's accuracy in producing first sounds in words was not maintained at levels expected for any of the participants. Suggestions are provided for how this strategy can be used and adapted by clinicians and educators to prepare preschool children for phonologically based emergent literacy skills needed to succeed in kindergarten.

A new study explores the distinct roles of spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization in piezo-phototronic coupling. This investigation focuses on differences in photocatalytic and piezo-photocatalytic performance using sodium bismuth titanate, a key ferroelectric material. The research aims to identify which type of polarization has a greater influence on piezo-phototronic effects. A theoretical assessment complements the experimental findings, providing additional insights. This study explores the enhanced piezo-phototronic performance of electrospun nanofibers compared to sol-gel particles under different illumination conditions (11 W UV, 250 W UV, and natural sunlight). Electrospun nanofibers exhibited a rate constant (k) improvement of 2.5 to 3.75 times, whereas sol-gel particles showed only 1.3 to 1.4 times higher performance when ultrasonication was added to photocatalysis. Analysis using first-principle methods revealed that nanofibers had an elastic modulus (C33) about 2.15 times lower than sol-gel particles, indicating greater flexibility. The elongation of the lattice along the z axis in the case of nanofibers reduced the covalency in the Bi–O and Ti–O bonds. These structural differences reduced spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric stress coefficients (e31 and e33). Despite having lower piezoelectric stress coefficients, higher flexibility in nanofibers led to a higher piezoelectric strain coefficient, 2.66 and 1.97 times greater than sol-gel particles, respectively. This improved the piezo-phototronic coupling for nanofibers.
