Impact of body-focused social media on parenting confidence among postpartum moms as tested using an experimental design
Authors: Petresin Tamara , Tang Lisa , Haines Jess 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to understand the impact of social media on postpartum mothers’ parenting confidence among participants in the Moms on Media Study, an experimental mixed methods study.

Methods
We used an embedded mixed methods approach among a sample of postpartum mothers of infants aged 0–6 months who were randomly assigned to view either body focused social media posts (experimental group, n = 65) or infant feeding tips (control group, n = 67) over a 5 day period. ANCOVA was used to examine differences between the experimental and control group on parenting confidence at post-intervention and 1 month follow-up. A subsample of mothers in the experimental group (n = 20) took part in semi-structured interviews post-intervention. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes and subthemes generated from the data.

Results
Counter to expectations, ANCOVA results show that at post-intervention mothers who viewed the body-focused posts scored significantly higher for total parenting confidence (mean difference = 1.36), parenting confidence (mean difference = 0.89), and support confidence (mean difference = 0.53). These differences in total parenting confidence (mean difference = 2.03), parenting confidence (mean difference = 1.40) and support confidence (mean difference = 0.50) were sustained at 1-month follow up. No significant differences were found for child development confidence between the experimental and control group at either post-intervention or 1-month follow-up. Qualitative analysis revealed that many mothers described feeling better about their parenting after viewing body-focused social media posts where they felt mothers were overly focused on their own image versus spending time with their child as a “good” mother “should.”

Conclusions
Body-focused social media posts may lead to downward social comparison among postpartum mothers. Findings may help inform interventions or clinical care focused on healthy social media exposure and use during the postpartum period.
What About Justice and Power Imbalances? A Relational Approach to Ethical Risk Assessments for AI
Authors: Krijger J. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Despite the surge in research on the ethical risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI) there is still a clear need for methodologies and practical strategies to assess ethical risks of AI applications. As risk assessment becomes a cornerstone of regulatory initiatives (e.g. EU AI Act) the question remains to what extent these methods are capable of addressing more complex normative issues related to voluntariness, justice and power imbalances in the deployment of AI. The current article examines three common categories of ethical risk assessment: (1) bilateral assessments, such as impact assessment for AI, (2) multilateral assessments, where the perspective of a group of stakeholders is included in the assessment and (3) foresight assessments, where future impacts and risks are assessed. Subsequently, it will make a case for relational risk assessment methods as a supplementary approach to the ethical analysis of AI. It takes as a starting point the three-party model as developed by Hermansson & Hansson (Risk Management 9(3):129–144, 2007) to identify salient ethical issues as they arise in the relationship between three critical parties or roles present in all risk related decisions: the decision-maker, the risk-exposed and the beneficiary. This model is then adjusted to better fit with AI contexts and applied to AI in credit risk scoring to evaluate its merits. Overall, the article seeks to contribute to the development of a more fine-grained understanding of the ethical risks of AI, emphasising the importance of addressing and interrogating relational dimensions such as power imbalances as ethical risks of AI applications.
Laying the foundations for using generative AI images in architectural research: do images convey the intended spaces and ambiances?
Authors: Odiah Azuka , Gosling Samuel D. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) models, such as Stable Diffusion, Open AI's DALL-E2, and MidJourney, has opened the door to a huge range of new possibilities in architectural research and practice. Before architects and researchers can fully leverage these models, it is crucial to assess their proficiency in generating images that accurately depict real spaces and ambiances. Here, we assessed the proficiency of DALL-E2 in depicting intended spaces and intended ambiances, using real photographs from Google Images as a comparative benchmark. Images of eighteen distinct home spaces, each intended to evoke three different ambiances, were generated and presented to human observers. The images were evaluated in terms of their perceived realism, their accuracy in depicting the space and ambiance intended. Findings highlight GenAI's capability in depicting spaces and point to its potential in convincingly conveying ambiances. Beyond the substantive findings, this research highlights the importance of evaluating the rapidly emerging tools enabled by recent developments in AI.
An anatomical and histological narrative of a subcutaneous muscle of the anterior abdominal wall in human cadavers: a case report
Authors: Mascarenhas Daron , Sumitra V. , Shankar Nachiket 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis report investigates a subcutaneous muscle layer found during routine dissections in four formalin embalmed human cadavers donated for medical training. The gross and microscopic morphology is described and potential implications in humans are raised. Tissue samples were taken from representative regions of the anterior abdominal wall and stained using Haematoxylin & Eosin followed by Masson’s Trichrome. The muscle tissue was seen in the deepest layers of the hypodermis of the anterior abdominal wall, with variable presentation between cadavers. Visually, it appeared as a thin greyish-pink or brown layer with variable morphology based on location, namely, sheet like, discontinuous, and enmeshed within fascial layers, with a thickness ranging from 1 to 5 mm. Tissue staining revealed muscle fibres in all samples. Our incidental findings add gross and histological evidence for the presence of a subcutaneous muscle layer found in the anterior abdominal wall of humans.
A reassessment of ice cliff dynamics upon debris-covered glaciers
Authors: Evatt Geoffrey William , Mayer Christoph , Wirbel Anna , Abrahams Ian David , Nicholson Lindsey 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We present a new model for understanding ice cliff dynamics within a debris-covered glacier ablation zone. This simple energy-balance model incorporates a moving frame of reference, made necessary by the melt of the surrounding debris-covered ice. In so doing, this also formalises how different types of field measurements can be utilised and compared. Our predictions include showing: ice cliffs can endogenously select their own slope angles; that there should be an indifference between illuminated north- and south-facing ice cliff slopes; that ice cliffs grow steeper with thicker debris layers; that ice cliffs cannot stably exist below a certain critical debris thickness and that some modelling of ice cliffs (when not incorporating the moving frame) may incorrectly estimate ice mass losses. All of our results are produced using parametrisations from Baltoro Glacier, Karakoram.
Beyond party and the pocketbook: racial resentment, hostile sexism, and perceptions of corporate political activity
Authors: Goidel Kirby , Goidel Spencer , Zinnat Farzana , Jeon Jiyeong 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Recent controversies over “woke” businesses have challenged traditional partisan political alignments, leading to increased criticism on the right of corporate political activity. This paper explores how the public evaluates corporate political activity, focusing specifically on whether individuals believe corporations are doing too much (or too little) to advance social and political goals. We are especially interested in how social identities and pocketbook considerations shape perceptions of corporate political activities not explicitly tied to social issues. Does racial resentment, for example, influence perceptions of corporate political activity designed to increase worker wages or improve health care? Or are the effects limited to efforts to achieve racial equality? We find that racial resentment and hostile sexism have spillover effects, affecting perceptions of corporate political activity across issue areas. Partisan affiliation, political ideology, and personal pocketbook considerations, in contrast, play a more limited role. Previous research has demonstrated the effect of racial resentment and sexism on support for welfare policies. We add to this literature by showing that racist and sexist opposition extends to corporate political activities that might not be explicitly identified as socially progressive.
Crisis-Related Measles Outbreaks in Low-Income Countries and the Need for Increased Health Systems Resilience
Authors: Ghammari Fawzieh , Jalilian Habib 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The measles is a highly contagious disease that can be prevented by vaccination. During and after crises, vaccination against measles decreases in low-income countries, leading to outbreaks. It is possible for developed countries to be at risk from these outbreaks through travel. Low-income countries’ health systems are not resilient to crises. Lack of capacity among these countries causes a decrease in vaccinations. As a result, we provide some recommendations for increasing the resilience of the health system in low-income countries in this letter.
Association Between Social Determinants of Health, COVID-19 Stressors, and Mental Health Among New York Residents Early in the Pandemic
Authors: Riobueno-Naylor Alexa , Clay Lauren , Aubé Samantha S. , Lai Betty S. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objective
The COVID-19 pandemic is a disaster event. Exposure to stressors during and after disaster events is associated with negative mental health symptoms. To inform targeted COVID-19 recovery efforts, data are needed to understand which stressors play a key role in this relationship.

Methods
Cross-sectional survey data (demographics, impacts of COVID-19, social determinants of health, depression, and anxiety) were collected online from adults living in New York state between May and June 2020. Differences in the proportion of stressors (COVID-19 and social determinants) experienced by race/ethnicity were assessed using chi-square analyses. Logistic regression was used to assess which factors were associated with increased odds of depression and anxiety.

Results
A majority (n = 258, 62.2%) of the 415 respondents reported being directly impacted by the pandemic. Non-white respondents reported a significantly larger proportion of stressors compared to white respondents. Under half of respondents reported depression (n = 171, 41.2%) and anxiety (n = 164, 39.5%). Healthcare and food concerns were associated with increased odds of depression and anxiety, and economic concerns were associated with increased odds of anxiety.

Conclusions
Findings underscore the need to respond to the COVID-19 mental health crisis by addressing social determinants of health.
Bridging the gap between requirements engineering and systems architecting: the Elephant Specification Language
Authors: Wilschut Tim , Hofkamp Albert T. , Schuijbroek Tiemen J. L. , Etman L. F. Pascal , Rooda Jacobus E. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article presents a domain-specific language for writing highly structured multilevel system specifications. The language effectively bridges the gap between requirements engineering and systems architecting by enabling the direct derivation of a dependency graph from the system specifications. The dependency graph allows for the easy manipulation, visualization and analysis of the system architecture, ensuring the consistency among written system specifications and visual system architecture models. The system architecture models provide direct feedback on the completeness of the system specifications. The language and associated tooling has been made publicly available and has been applied in several industrial case studies. In this article, the fundamental concepts and way of working of the language are explained using an illustrative example.
Reconceptualizing Constitutionalism in the AI Run Algorithmic Society
Authors: Avbelj Matej 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis Article is dedicated to what is arguably one of the most significant tests to which constitutionalism has been subject to in recent times. It examines the theoretical and practical challenges to constitutionalism arising from the profound technological changes under the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in our emerging algorithmic society. The unprecedented rapid development of AI technology has not only rendered conventional theories of modern constitutionalism obsolete, but it has also created an epistemic gap in constitutional theory. As a result, there is a clear need for a new, compelling constitutional theory that adequately accounts for the scale of technological change by accurately capturing it, engaging with it, and ultimately, responding to it in a conceptually and normatively convincing way.

The Collapse of the Male Gaze in the Cinema of Bahram Beyzaie: The Crow and Maybe Some Other Time
Authors: Ghoreishi Seyed Aria 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis article explores the correlation between two of Bahram Beyzaie's films and Laura Mulvey's theories on the male gaze. The films in question are The Crow (Kalāgh, 1977) and Maybe Some Other Time (Shāyad Vaqti Digar, 1987). This article delves into the films’ narrative structures, revealing a subtle yet significant shift in the dynamics of power and gaze. Initially, both films appear to conform to conventional representations of male dominance, establishing a seemingly patriarchal landscape. However, as the narratives unfold, a gradual transformation occurs, subverting conventions of the male gaze. By employing Mulvey's framework, this article deciphers the interplay between Beyzaie's cinematic language and Mulvey's theoretical underpinnings, highlighting Beyzaie's role in deconstructing patriarchal structures and crafting a more nuanced portrayal of gender relations.
Surface mass balance modelling of the Juneau Icefield highlights the potential for rapid ice loss by the mid-21st century
Authors: Ing Ryan Nicholas , Ely Jeremy Charles , Jones Julie Margaret , Davies Bethan Joan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Plateau icefields are large stores of fresh water, preconditioned to enhanced mass loss due to their gently sloping accumulation areas. Accurate modelling of their mass balance is therefore crucial for sea-level rise projections. Here, we use the COupled Snowpack and Ice surface energy and mass-balance model in PYthon (COSIPY) to simulate historical and future mass balance of the Juneau Icefield, Alaska – a high elevation (>1200 m) plateau icefield. We force the model with dynamically downscaled climate simulations, for both past and future (RCP 8.5) conditions. The icefield's mass balance decreased from a mean of −0.22 ± 0.38 m w.e. a−1 (1981–2019) to −1.52 ± 0.27 m w.e. a−1 (2031–2060), with many glaciers shifting from positive to negative mass balances at the start of the 21st century. This mass loss is attributed to projected rising air temperatures and reduced snowfall, causing the equilibrium line altitude to rise and triggering albedo and melt-elevation feedbacks. These processes exacerbate melt, potentially leading to increased glacier disconnections at icefalls.
Morphological and molecular characterisation of two new species of Rhipidocotyle (Digenea: Bucephalidae Poche, 1907) from Sphyraena putnamae Jordan & Seale in Mozambique
Authors: Dumbo J.C. , Dos Santos Q.M. , Avenant-Oldewage A. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Species-level delineation of digenetic trematodes is complex and can be best achieved by integrative taxonomy using both genetic characterisation and morphological analysis. Two new Bucephalidae species of the genus Rhipidocotyle Diesing, 1858 are described here based on specimens collected from the intestine of Sphyraena putnamae Jordan & Seale following this approach. Adults of R. siphonyaka n. sp. and R. nolwe n. sp. possess tentacles and a tegument with scales. They are distinguished from their congeners by the arrangement of the digestive structures, the extent of the uterus relative to vitelline fields, and the arrangement of the reproductive structures. Rhipidocotyle siphonyaka n. sp. differs from R. nolwe n. sp. in having the pharynx and mouth positioned in the pre-uterine field, tandem testes, longer body length, and shorter pre-vitelline and post-testicular distance. Rhipidocotyle siphonyaka n. sp. differs from its congeners in having a tube-like intestinal caecum, pharynx and mouth opening positioned in the pre-vitelline field. Rhipidocotyle nolwe n. sp. appears to be similar, morphologically and morphometrically, to Rhipidocotyle khalili (Nagaty, 1937). Despite their similarities, R. nolwe n. sp. has a shorter body length and egg size. Moreover, the molecular analysis of 28S and ITS rDNA fragments indicate that R. siphonyaka n. sp. and R. nolwe n. sp. are closely related phylogenetically but distinct from one another and other Bucephalidae for which molecular data are available.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The study aimed to assess the heterogeneity in the distribution of disease awareness, attitudes, and practices related to cystic echinococcosis (CE) in different subgroups and inform health authorities regionally and globally for future evidence-based tailored prevention practices in the region. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 242 participants from Kyrgyz Republic (KR), Issyk-Kul oblast, and utilized survey data to analyse demographics, household information, echinococcosis-related practices, and knowledge. Participants in high-risk environments (HRE) and engaging in high-risk behaviours (HRB) linked to CE contracting were identified. Out of 242 participants, 39% lived in HRE, with 22% engaging in HRB of contracting CE. 13% lived in HRE and engaged in HRB. Only 6% followed all preventive measures, while 56% followed some. 97.5% of participants had heard about CE, but only 6% identified all transmission routes, and 63.4% were unaware of dog contact as a route. Education reduced the odds of being in the highest risk group (HRE&HRB) (OR 0.5, 95% CI 0.23–0.80). The study's findings are alarming, emphasizing factors contributing to regional endemicity. We anticipated a similar pattern in the neighbouring countries, given the shared nomadic customs and historical parallels. Examination of the heterogeneity of disease awareness and practices allows tailored prevention strategies. Urgent prevention programmes focusing on echinococcosis awareness in the KR are crucial to addressing challenges posed by nomadic habits.
“Terminal Anorexia”, Treatment Refusal and Decision-Making Capacity
Authors: Jefferson Anneli 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWhether anorexic patients should be able to refuse treatment when this refusal potentially has a fatal outcome is a vexed topic. A recent proposal for a new category of “terminal anorexia” suggests criteria when a move to palliative care or even physician-assisted suicide might be justified. The author argues that this proposed diagnosis presents a false sense of certainty of the illness trajectory by conceptualizing anorexia in analogy with physical disorders and stressing the effects of starvation. Furthermore, this conceptualization is in conflict with the claim that individuals who meet the diagnostic criteria for terminal anorexia have decision-making capacity. It should therefore be rejected.
Slum clearance in a ‘semi-colony’: coercion and restraint in policing practices in 1930s Shanghai
Authors: Wang Yutong 
Published: October 2024

AbstractSlum clearances expose hostility between municipal authorities and residents fighting to claim urban space. In colonial contexts, these processes created conflicts between rulers and the ruled. Focusing on the ‘semi-colonial’ Shanghai International Settlement, this article examines interactions between the Shanghai Municipal Police (SMP) and slum-dwellers amid an evolving crisis of urban governance in the 1930s. This case-study, grounded in Shanghai’s complex socio-political climate, reveals how ordinary Chinese residents negotiated with the authorities and points to the frailties of semi-colonial governance, showing how the SMP deployed coercion only when it was unavoidable in slum clearances.
Efficacy of vortioxetine versus desvenlafaxine in the treatment of functional impairment in patients with major depressive disorder: Results from the multinational VIVRE study
Authors: Christensen Michael Cronquist , Grande Iria , Rieckmann Andreas , Chokka Pratap 
Published: October 2024

AbstractBackgroundIn VIVRE (NCT04448431), vortioxetine was associated with significantly higher rates of symptomatic and functional remission, better daily and social functioning, and greater treatment satisfaction than desvenlafaxine in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and partial response to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy. This analysis further explored the relative improvement in patient functioning with vortioxetine versus desvenlafaxine.MethodsVIVRE was a randomized, double-blind study of vortioxetine (10 or 20 mg/day) versus desvenlafaxine (50 mg/day) in adults with MDD and partial response to initial SSRI monotherapy. Mean percentage changes from baseline to week 8 in Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) total and domain scores were analyzed by treatment group in the overall population and in working patients.ResultsIn the overall population, the mean reduction in FAST total score from baseline after 8 weeks of treatment was 37.2% in vortioxetine-treated patients versus 31.8% in desvenlafaxine-treated patients (P = 0.04). Significantly greater improvements versus desvenlafaxine were seen in vortioxetine-treated patients for FAST autonomy, cognitive functioning, and interpersonal-relationships scores (all P < 0.05). In working patients, the mean reduction in FAST total score from baseline at week 8 was 38.7% versus 32.1% in the vortioxetine and desvenlafaxine groups, respectively (P = 0.04). Significant correlations were seen between absolute changes in patient functioning, and those in depression severity and health-related quality of life.ConclusionVortioxetine was significantly better than desvenlafaxine in improving overall functioning as well as daily, social, and cognitive functioning in patients with MDD with inadequate response to prior SSRI therapy.
