Life Essentials 8 score and risk of metabolic syndrome: A dose-response analysis in the US population
Authors: Jia Feng , Sun Jiaxuan , Liu Xiangliang , Liu Yahui 
Published: October 2024

Background
There is limited research on the relationship between Life Essentials 8 (LE8) score and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Our aim is to examine the association between LE8 cardiovascular health metrics and risk of MetS in a nationally representative sample.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 23,253 adults aged ≥20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005–2018). LE8 score (range 0–100) was calculated based on the American Heart Association’s definitions of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors (physical activity, diet, smoking, and body mass index) and factors (total cholesterol, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and fasting triglycerides). Metabolic syndrome comprises a cluster of metabolic disorders, including obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. Multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models, mediation analysis, subgroup analysis and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression were used to assess the relationship between LE8 score and MetS risk.

Results
A total of 23,253 participants were included, of whom 7,932 had MetS and 15,321 did not. The average age of the participants was 50.7 years (standard deviation (SD) 12.3), with 49.24% being male. Participants with high LE8 category (80–100 points) had 98% lower odds of having MetS compared to those with low LE8 category (0–49 points) after adjusting for potential confounders (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.02; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02–0.03; P < 0.001). There was a monotonic decreasing dose-response relationship between LE8 score and predicted probability of MetS (P-overall <0.001; P-nonlinear <0.001). Several biomarkers including serum albumin, uric acid and neutrophil count emerged as potential mediators.

Conclusions
While our studies suggest a potential association between cardiovascular health factors and reduced MetS risk, the cross-sectional nature of our study limits causal inferences. The LE8 score could still serve as a useful screening tool to identify individuals at high risk for MetS, facilitating targeted prevention and treatment strategies.

Introduction
Ethnicity can influence susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalisation and death. Its association with ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 is unclear. We assessed if, among a population followed up after discharge from hospital with COVID-19, adults from Asian, black, mixed and other backgrounds are at increased risk of physical and mental health symptoms.

Methods
Adults discharged after hospitalisation with COVID-19 between 03/03/2020 and 27/11/2021 were routinely offered follow-up six to 12 weeks post-discharge and reviewed for ongoing symptomatic COVID-19, as defined by persisting physical symptoms (respiratory symptoms, fatigue, impaired sleep and number of other symptoms), mental health symptoms and inability to return to work if employed. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were used to compare differences in characteristics, follow-up outcomes and blood tests between ethnic groups. To account for possible selection bias, analyses were adjusted for propensity scores.

Results
986 adults completed follow-up: 202 (20.5%) Asian, 105 (10.6%) black, 18 (1.8%) mixed, 468 (47.5%) white and 111 (11.3%) from other backgrounds. Differences between groups included white adults being older than those from Asian/‘other’ backgrounds and black adults being more likely from deprived areas than those from Asian/white/‘other’ backgrounds. After adjusting for these differences, at follow-up, black adults had fewer respiratory (adjusted odds ratio 0.49 (0.25–0.96)) and other symptoms (adjusted count ratio 0.68 (0.34–0.99)) compared to white adults. There were otherwise no significant differences between ethnic groups in terms of physical health, mental health or ability to return to work if employed. These findings were not altered after adjustment for propensity scores.

Conclusions
In our population, despite having more co-morbidities associated with worse outcomes, adults from Asian, black, mixed and other ethnic backgrounds are not more likely to develop ongoing symptomatic COVID-19. However, it is important that healthcare services remain vigilant in ensuring the provision of timely patient-centred care.
How Effective Are Civil Society Promotion Laws? Mixed Patterns from 3 Mexican States
Authors: Ochoa-Carreno Lina 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Policies constraining nonprofit and civil society activity have been documented in multiple countries. A less widespread phenomenon, but one that is also worth exploring, is the enactment of laws intended to promote civil society. What happens when laws are enacted to promote these organizations? How effective are these laws? Building on insights from the literature on nonprofit formation and organizational ecology, this paper adopts a quasi-experimental approach, to analyze the effect of passing a state-level law of Civil Society (CSO) sector promotion on the number of newly-constituted CSO organizations. Using data from Mexico, between 1990 and 2018, the paper uses the synthetic control method to examine this effect, separately, in 3 Mexican states, against a pool of 13 states which had not enacted a law of this kind during the period under study. The results show quite different effects across states, and point to the need of exploring in depth the policy process surrounding the passing of the law. These mixed patterns also call for further examination of the broader context where CSO laws take effect, and the incentives and disincentives local actors may perceive in the content of the laws.
Towards realistic blood cell biomechanics in microvascular thrombosis simulations
Authors: Belyaev Aleksey V. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The paper is devoted to a three-dimensional mesoscale hemodynamic model for simulations of microvascular blood flows at cellular resolution. The focus is on creating a more accurate biomechanical model of red blood cells for further use in models of hemostasis and thrombosis. The presented model effectively and accurately reproduces peculiarities of blood flow under realistic hydrodynamic conditions in arterioles, venules, and capillaries, including the Fahraeus–Lindquist effect and subsequent platelet margination. In addition, shear-dependent platelet aggregation can also be captured using the proposed approach.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel temporally and spatially segregated numerical scheme to discretize the coupled electromechanical model of myocardium. We perform several numerical experiments with activation of a myocardial slab with structural inhomogeneity and evaluate the dependence of numerical errors on the size of spatial and temporal discretization steps. In our study, we show that the spatial step for the mechanical equations h

m
⩽2.5 mm yields reasonable results with noticeable errors only in the region of myocardial inhomogeneity. We also show that time step τ

m
⩽1 ms can be used for temporal discretization of mechanical equations, and the propagation velocity of the activation and contraction fronts differs from the reference one by no more than 1.3%for such time step. Finally, we show that the increase of time discretization steps of the mechanical equations τ

m
and the monodomain equation τ

e
leads to phase errors with opposite signs, and we can compensate these errors by tuning the relationship between the time steps.
Junction conditions for one-dimensional network hemodynamic model for total cavopulmonary connection using physically informed deep learning technique
Authors: Dobroserdova Tatiana K. , Isaev Alexander A. , Danilov Alexander A. , Simakov Sergey S. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a novel methodology utilizing physics-informed neural network (PINN) as a junction condition for a 1D network model of blood flow in total cavopulmonary connection generated by the Fontan procedure. The technique integrates a 3D mesh generation process based on the parameterization of the junction geometry, along with a sophisticated physically regularized neural network architecture. Synthetic datasets are produced using 3D steady Stokes simulations within fixed boundaries. We use a physically informed feedforward neural network that utilizes a physically regularized loss function, which incorporates the principle of mass conservation. Our PINN achieves a tolerance of 6% on the test set. We develop a 1D-PINN multiscale model based on a previously developed method for multiscale 1D–3D simulations. Comparison with 1D–3D Stokes based model and 3D Navier–Stokes based model verifies the 1D-PINN model. In the first and second comparison, the maximum deviations of the averaged pressures and flows do not exceed 1.48% and 12.26%, respectively.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
We formulate a compartmental model of the murine lymphatic system with the transfer rate parameters derived from the data on the geometric characteristics of the lymphatic system (LS) graph structure and the Hagen–Poiseuille-based values of the lymph flows through the system components, i.e., vertices and edges. It is supplemented by the physics-based model of lymph node draining-related function which considers a paradigmatic view of its geometry with one- and three-afferent lymphatic vessels and one efferent vessel, and the lymph flow described by the Darcy–Starling equations. We discuss further modelling work needed to gain a predictive understanding of the LS function in response to various perturbations including infections and therapeutic treatments.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The study is devoted to the hemodynamics during cerebral vascular bypass surgery for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms in two patients. The location, morphological characteristics and treatment approaches of the patients were similar, but different outcomes were observed as a result of the performed microsurgical procedures . Computational approach was used to analyze the hemodynamic differences of aneurysms, treated via extra-intra cranial (EC-IC) cerebral bypass shunt. The paper presents a new criterion based on the energy parameters of healthy compartment of cerebral circulation. The applied approach demonstrates a new effective method of preoperative risk modelling for medical decision-making.
The Co-constitution of Bad Religion and Unethical Sales
Authors: Gaitanidis Ioannis 
Published: October 2024

Legal decisions surrounding activities associated with beliefs often described as “religious” usually conflate with laws and regulations that delineate other aspects of the context in which such activities occur. For example, transactions with psychics or fortune tellers usually need to abide by general consumer protection laws. In this article, I argue that controversies surrounding frauds and other troubles occurring during such transactions point to the equation “bad religion=unethical sales.” To explain my argument, I first compare the rise of “spiritual sales” as a legal category in Japan in the last 35 years, to British regulations of mediumship. I then proceed to locate the emotion of “fear” at the centre of debates about the appropriateness of these laws for consumer protection. I end up concluding that “spiritual sales” are yet another example in which, today, the consumer’s negative feelings have become the basis for claims of illegality, in contrast to how positive feelings are proof of sincerity and transparency.
Contemporary Tibetan Monastic Business and the Corporate Form
Authors: Caple Jane 
Published: October 2024

In early twenty-first century Tibet, many Geluk monasteries established capital funds that they invested in small businesses—the Geluk being one of the main Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Drawing on fieldwork in northeast Tibet, this article examines debates surrounding this monastic engagement in business, asking why it proved contentious despite historical and canonical precedent. I approach this question by thinking about monastic business engagement in relation to Geluk monasticism as a distinctive corporate form. Foregrounding how monks made sense of what they were doing as corporate actors, I examine common rationales, concerns, and questions of legitimacy at the heart of arguments both for and against monastic business development, and how these related to the monastic corporation’s core concern with preservation and continuity. The article concludes with some broader reflections on what these debates can tell us about the ongoing process of corporation-making, suggesting some possible avenues for future research.
Forme et résistances, formes politiques de résistances

En se référant à T. Adorno, on pourrait avancer que les arts plastiques sont en soi, de par « leur action transformatrice », résistance à l’ordre social et politique. À l’époque, cet auteur avait particulièrement en tête les Avants-gardes de l’art moderne. Mais est-ce que son analyse peut résister elle-même face à de nouveaux contextes et époques?
Relocation of the 8 September 2023 High Atlas, Morocco, Earthquake Aftershock Sequence
Authors: Bondár István , Timoulali Youssef , Chiang Andrea , Hni Lahcen , Kasmi Mohamed 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
The earthquake that occurred on 8 September 2023, with a magnitude of 6.8, was the most destructive earthquake event in Morocco in the past decade. This earthquake took place in the Al Haouz region, located in the western part of the High Atlas Mountain range. To better understand what caused and triggered this earthquake, the earthquake catalogs including P and S arrival times were collected from the Moroccan seismic network and combined with regional data from the International Seismological Centre. The mainshock and aftershocks were relocated by using iLoc, a state-of-the-art single-event location algorithm, and then by the multiple event location double-difference algorithm, hypoDD. The improved earthquake relocations using iLoc and the double-difference methods provide sharper lineation of seismicity and agree well with tomographic images of the earthquake zone. The seismicity distribution and the focal mechanism of the mainshock indicate that the earthquake sequence has occurred along the South Atlas fault system.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Mars’s atmosphere has theoretically been predicted to be strong enough to continuously excite Mars’s background-free oscillations, potentially providing an independent means of verifying radial seismic body-wave models of Mars determined from marsquakes and meteorite impacts recorded during the Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport (InSight) mission. To extract the background-free oscillations, we processed and analyzed the continuous seismic data, consisting of 966 Sols (a Sol is equivalent to a Martian day), collected by the Mars InSight mission using both automated and manual deglitching schemes to remove nonseismic disturbances. We then computed 1-Sol-long autocorrelations for the entire data set and stacked these to enhance any normal-mode peaks present in the spectrum. We find that while peaks in the stacked spectrum in the 2–4 mHz frequency band align with predictions based on seismic body-wave models and appear to be consistent across the different processing and stacking methods applied, unambiguous detection of atmosphere-induced free oscillations in the Martian seismic data nevertheless remains difficult. This possibly relates to the limited number of Sols of data that stack coherently and the continued presence of glitch-related signal that affects the seismic data across the normal-mode frequency range (∼1–10 mHz). Improved deglitching schemes may allow for clearer detection and identification in the future.

Published: October 2024

Hotels that serve customers having different cultural values should improve their service capabilities to achieve customer satisfaction. This study researches how empathy, trust and cultural values affect hotel customer satisfaction and looks at the combinations of these components that lead to high customer satisfaction. The current literature on Hofstede’s five-dimensional cultural values, cognitive and affective dimensions of empathy, trust and customer satisfaction were used to develop the research model and present recommendations. To ensure cultural diversity, a face-to-face survey was administered to 553 tourists from six countries. The data obtained were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modelling and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). According to the results, the effects of hotel customers’ empathy levels on their satisfaction occur through their trust in the business. The fsQCA revealed combinations of cultural values, empathy and trust that would generate high levels of satisfaction. The present study contributes to the relevant literature by addressing the relatively under-emphasized components that ensure that hotel customers are highly satisfied.
Prozodia jako składnik sensu
Authors: Grzegorzewska Anita 
Published: October 2024

Odkrywanie mechanizmów rządzących komponowaniem sensu w procesie odbioru komunikatów znalazło się w kręgu zainteresowań badawczych twórców polskiej szkoły gramatyki komunikacyjnej – Aleksego Awdiejewa i Grażyny Habrajskiej. Wśród opisanych etapów uzyskiwania sensu interakcyjnego zabrakło rozważań dotyczących prozodii. Celem publikacji jest uzupełnienie owej luki w badaniach.
Autorka, odwołując się do założeń metodologicznych wypracowanych w ramach komunikatywizmu, przygląda się procesowi konfigurowania sensu przy użyciu elementów suprasegmentalnych (akcent, intonacja) i segmentalnych (pauza). Jednostkę materiałową wyabstrahowaną z szesnastu audiobooków poddaje analizie audytywnej. Opracowanie znaków wizualizujących elementy prozodyczne pozwala na uchwycenie i utrwalenie wartości brzmieniowej komunikatów. Aplikacja systemu prozodycznego nie stanowi celu samego w sobie, lecz służy do przeprowadzenia kompleksowej analizy ramy prozodycznej.
Ujęcie komunikatywistyczne prozodii przyczyniło się do zainicjowania nowej dziedziny badań – pragmatyki prozodii. W jej ramach Autorka opisuje prozodię nieingerującą w moc interakcyjną aktu (prozodia odczytana), wyostrzającą, osłabiającą bądź modyfikującą moc interakcyjną aktu mowy (prozodia wywiedziona lub wyinterpretowana); wyodrębnia i klasyfikuje poszczególne cechy prozodyczne w ramach tworzonych przez nie grup operatorów interakcyjnych; odtwarza proces wspomagania komponowania sensu przy użyciu prozodii, kontrastując ze sobą pierwotną (autor) i wtórną (aktor) interpretację prozodyczną tekstu; wyznacza klasy zjawisk, przy pomocy których odbiorcy budują w swojej wyobraźni pewien obszar sensu.
