The text of the Bayeux Tapestry
Authors: Banks David 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The Bayeux Tapestry, which strictly speaking is not a tapestry at all but a piece of embroidery, was produced in the late 11th century, probably commissioned by Odo, bishop of Bayeux, William the Conqueror’s half-brother. Its objective is to support William’s invasion and conquest of England. It can thus be seen as a piece of 11th century propaganda. It tells the story of Harold’s oath to support William’s claims to the English crown, his subsequent acceptance of the crown himself, followed by William’s invasion of England and Harold’s death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The images in the Tapestry are accompanied by a text in Latin. This paper analyses the transitivity of those clauses in this text where Harold and William occur. This shows how both of these protagonists are represented through the transitivity selections of the text. While both occur as Actor to the same extent, Harold functions as Affected much more frequently than William (including ultimately, getting killed!). In addition, William functions as Sayer more frequently than Harold, and usually with verbs that indicate his authority. Thus William is painted as an effective, authoritative ruler. Thus the text of the tapestry underlines the power of William following his conquest and enhances the empowerment which success in battle bestowed on him.
Contrastive feature hierarchies and Germanic phonology
Authors: Dresher B. Elan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
I discuss an analysis of changes in the Scandinavian runic alphabet, or futhark, by Jørgen Rischel (1966). Rischel’s article accounts for some puzzling changes in the futhark by employing
contrastive feature hierarchies represented as branching trees. Feature hierarchies can be traced back to the work of Roman
Jakobson and his colleagues. They enjoyed a brief period of prominence in the 1950s and 1960s, but then disappeared from
mainstream phonological theory. However, they were employed in a number of interesting studies of Germanic and other languages
whose insights we can still profit from today. The goal of this paper is to bring attention to this largely forgotten approach to
phonological analysis, and to spell out the principles that underlie it.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
A superhydrophobic oxide layer on AM60B magnesium alloy was created by using a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technique and subsequent surface modification. PEO was applied in an electrolyte with/without CeO2-TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) by two different voltages of 350 and 450 V. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to evaluate the roughness and morphology of the surface. Water contact angles on the surface were measured to investigate the surface wettability. Potentiodynamic polarization tests in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were used to assess the corrosion resistance of the coating. Also, the FE-SEM images showed that increasing applied voltage, decreases the numbers and size of the pores on the surface. Results showed that applying PEO, increased the corrosion resistance of the bare AM60B because corrosion rate (C.R.) decreased from 1.523805 (bare AM60B) to 1.432107 mpy (PEO-450 V). Furthermore, using CeO2-TiO2 NPs effectively enhanced the corrosion resistance of the bare AM60B by decreasing the corrosion rate from 1.523805 to 1.286469 mpy.

Barriers and Facilitators to Older Adults’ Acceptance of Camera-Based Active and Assisted Living Technologies: A Scoping Review
Authors: Tham Natalie An Qi , Brady Anne-Marie , Ziefle Martina , Dinsmore John 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background and Objectives
Camera-based active and assisted living (AAL) technologies are an eminent solution to population aging but are frequently rejected by older adults. The factors that influence older adults’ acceptance of these technologies remain poorly understood, which may account for their lagging diffusion. This scoping review aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators to older adults’ acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies, with a view to facilitating their development and widespread dissemination.

Research Design and Methods
MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, ACM Digital Library, Web of Science, and gray literature databases were searched from inception to June 2024. Publications that reported data on barriers and facilitators to the acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies among community-dwelling older adults aged 60 and above were eligible. Barriers and facilitators were extracted and mapped to the theoretical domains framework, thematically clustered, and narratively summarized.

Results
A total of 28 barriers and 19 facilitators were identified across 50 included studies. Dominant barriers concerned the technology’s privacy-invasive, obtrusive, and stigmatizing qualities. Salient facilitators included the perceived usefulness of, and older adults’ perceived need for, the technology.

Discussion and Implications
Results inform practitioners’ selection of strategies to promote older adults’ acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies. These efforts should transcend the conventional focus on pragmatics and give credence to psychological, social, and environmental influences on technology acceptance.
Constricting colonic lipoma causing acute intestinal obstruction
Authors: Lodhia Jay , Hussein Atiyya , Mremi Alex 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Colon lipomas are rare benign, nonepithelial tumors that are often asymptomatic. However, when symptoms do occur, they vary depending on the size and location of the lipoma and are generally nonspecific. Diagnosis is confirmed through histopathological analysis. Lipomas smaller than 2.5 cm can typically be observed without intervention, but larger or symptomatic lipomas require resection, which can be performed endoscopically or surgically. This case presents a rare phenomenon of synchronous left colonic lipoma leading to intestinal obstruction. Despite their benign nature, colonic lipomas can sometimes mimic malignant lesions, making histopathological analysis crucial for confirming the diagnosis.
A refractory right cervical mediastinal lymphangioma with medication and insertion of a Denver shunt
Authors: Tatekawa Yukihiro , Tsuzuki Yukihiro , Fukuzato Yoshimitsu 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The Denver shunt is used for persistent chylothorax as a pleuroperitoneal shunt. Insertion of a Denver shunt was attempted in the current case involving a 3-year-old male with a refractory right cervical mediastinal lymphangioma. He was medicated with Eppikajutsuto® (0.65 g/kg) and underwent a Denver shunt for volume reduction of the cervical cyst to prevent airway obstruction. However, revision surgery for hemorrhage in the lymphangioma revealed that the tip of the shunt catheter had penetrated the cyst wall. The rounded tip of the catheter was placed back into the cyst. Oral administration of sirolimus (1 mg) was added. The Denver shunt was removed due to a catheter infection and administration of sirolimus was temporarily stopped because of an elevated blood concentration. Six months postoperatively from the third operation, neck swelling was negligible and radiologic findings showed complete regression of the lymphangioma.

Published: December 2024

Background and Aims﻿:
HCC recurrence frequently occurs after curative surgery. Histological microvascular invasion (MVI) predicts recurrence but cannot provide preoperative prognostication, whereas clinical prediction scores have variable performances

Approach and Results:﻿
Recurr-NET, a multimodal multiphasic residual-network random survival forest deep-learning model incorporating preoperative CT and clinical parameters, was developed to predict HCC recurrence. Preoperative triphasic CT scans were retrieved from patients with resected histology-confirmed HCC from 4 centers in Hong Kong (internal cohort). The internal cohort was randomly divided in an 8:2 ratio into training and internal validation. External testing was performed in an independent cohort from Taiwan.
Among 1231 patients (age 62.4y, 83.1% male, 86.8% viral hepatitis, and median follow-up 65.1mo), cumulative HCC recurrence rates at years 2 and 5 were 41.8% and 56.4%, respectively. Recurr-NET achieved excellent accuracy in predicting recurrence from years 1 to 5 (internal cohort AUROC 0.770–0.857; external AUROC 0.758–0.798), significantly outperforming MVI (internal AUROC 0.518–0.590; external AUROC 0.557–0.615) and multiple clinical risk scores (ERASL-PRE, ERASL-POST, DFT, and Shim scores) (internal AUROC 0.523–0.587, external AUROC: 0.524–0.620), respectively (all p < 0.001). Recurr-NET was superior to MVI in stratifying recurrence risks at year 2 (internal: 72.5% vs. 50.0% in MVI; external: 65.3% vs. 46.6% in MVI) and year 5 (internal: 86.4% vs. 62.5% in MVI; external: 81.4% vs. 63.8% in MVI) (all p < 0.001). Recurr-NET was also superior to MVI in stratifying liver-related and all-cause mortality (all p < 0.001). The performance of Recurr-NET remained robust in subgroup analyses.

Conclusions:
Recurr-NET accurately predicted HCC recurrence, outperforming MVI and clinical prediction scores, highlighting its potential in preoperative prognostication.
Can Exposure Therapy Be Effective for Persistent Post-Concussion Symptoms? A Nonconcurrent Multiple Baseline Design Across 4 Cases
Authors: Hecker Lynn , King Skye , Stapert Sven , Geusgens Chantal , den Hollander Marlies , Fleischeuer Britt , van Heugten Caroline 
Published: December 2024

Objective:
After a concussion, some patients develop persistent post-concussion symptoms, which interferes with functioning in daily life. A biopsychosocial explanation for the development and continuation of persistent post-concussion symptoms is the fear avoidance model (FAM). This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of an individual 14-week exposure therapy for patients with persistent symptoms after concussion.

Participants:
Four participants from a medical psychology outpatient clinic participated in the study. Their age ranged between 51 and 68 years old (M = 62.8, SD = 7). The average length of time since the concussion was 10 months.

Design:
A single-case experimental design (SCED) with nonconcurrent multiple baselines was used. Participants were randomly assigned to a baseline period (A phase) length between 21 and 42 days. The intervention phase (B phase) consisted of 14 treatment sessions in 14 weeks. The follow-up phase was 12 weeks.

Main Measures:
Participants answered questions on a visual analogue scale about their satisfaction with functioning in daily life, avoidance behavior, and symptoms experience on a daily basis during baseline and on a weekly basis during intervention and follow-up. Additional outcomes included symptom severity, catastrophizing, quality of life, participation, avoidance behavior, and feasibility interviews.

Results:
Tau-U yielded significant effects (P < .05) on all measures when comparing intervention and follow-up with the baseline in 3 out of 4 participants. Satisfaction with daily life increased and avoidance behavior and post-concussion symptoms experienced decreased. Participants and therapists rated the intervention protocol with an average of 8.8 out of 10.

Conclusion:
The findings suggest that exposure therapy seems effective and feasible in treating patients with persistent symptoms after concussion in a clinical setting. Larger randomized controlled trials or replication with SCED studies are advised to obtain additional evidence on the effectiveness of exposure for individuals with persistent symptoms after concussion.

Published: December 2024

Purpose:
The aim of this study was to identify successful recruitment strategies and obstacles reported by principal investigators (PIs) of the Zoster Eye Disease Study (ZEDS).

Methods:
A web-based survey was created by a subset of ZEDS PIs and distributed to ZEDS PIs after study enrollment was closed. The survey queried investigators about recruitment strategies and obstacles, use of prophylactic oral antiviral medication, electronic medical records, telemedicine, COVID-19 effect, turnover of research staff, and recruitment outreach to minority and underserved populations. The survey allowed objective measures and free-text options. Analysis from centers with higher enrollment was compared with centers with lower enrollment to identify successful strategies and common obstacles.

Results:
The most frequently cited helpful strategies were participation from ophthalmologists within the PI's institution (33/63, 52%), ophthalmology resident referrals (23/63, 37%), and chart review (23/63, 37%). Travel to participating clinical center (42/63, 67%) and ongoing prophylactic use of oral systemic antiviral medication (39/63, 62%) were common obstacles. Research coordinator turnover was identified as a contributor to reduced recruitment success by 49% (31/63) of PIs and made recruitment much harder for 22% (14/63). A small number of investigators used telemedicine (18/63, 29%) and few made efforts to recruit from minority and underserved populations (10/63, 16%).

Conclusions:
Our survey highlights the importance of internal ophthalmologist referral, chart review, and research coordinator commitment for successful clinical trial recruitment. We discuss the impact of prophylactic use of oral antiviral medication on recruitment. Future randomized clinical trials should mobilize the helpful recruitment strategies and improve outreach to underserved populations.
mHealth for Women with Pregnancies with Fetal Anomalies
Authors: Butler Mary , McArthur Erin C. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Purpose:
The purpose of this review is to investigate the current landscape of evidence-based mHealth resources designed to support pregnant patients with fetal anomalies, with a focus on enhancing maternal wellbeing, disseminating relevant information, and facilitating communication with nurses, physicians, and other health care professionals.

Study Design:
Using the JBI (formerly known as the Joanna Briggs Institute) scoping review protocol and the PRISMA-ScR framework, we conducted a comprehensive search across databases including CINAHL, Medline, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

Methods:
A keyword search was conducted, resulting in 227 unique records. Articles discussing mobile apps for pregnancies with a fetal diagnosis or fetal risk for anomaly were included, including hospital-affiliated or telehealth apps that were adapted for use with this specific population.

Results:
Ten articles were selected for inclusion. Our analysis identified several predominant themes. The surge of mHealth, influenced in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, has provided critical access to care for pregnant patients with fetal anomalies through mobile platforms. Comprehensive resource tools integrating informational components via mHealth are needed to offer flexibility to patients as well as nurses, physicians, and other health care professionals. Adopting a patient-driven approach in developing mHealth resources is important in meeting the needs of patients, their families, and their health care team.

Clinical Implications:
A framework for the development and implementation of high-fidelity mHealth resources tailored to this vulnerable population is needed. Emphasizing a patient-centered approach in the creation of mHealth resources is paramount to ensuring their effectiveness and usefulness for pregnant women experiencing fetal anomalies, their families, and the perinatal health care team.
Dissect mitochondrial activity by transcriptome data with mitology R package
Authors: Pirrotta Stefania , Bonora Massimo , Calura Enrica 
Published: December 2024

AbstractMitochondria are dynamic organelles that play crucial roles in energy transformation, biosynthesis, and cellular signaling. They actively process biological information, detecting and reacting to both internal and external stimuli. Through intricate physical interactions and diffusion mechanisms within cellular networks, mitochondria integrate diverse inputs and generate signals that finely adjust cellular functions and overall physiology. As a result, the phenotypic expressions of impaired mitochondrial function can exhibit high variability. High-throughput transcriptomic data can capture these changes, but traditional pathway analyses performed on common databases often struggle to specifically detect mitochondrial alterations. This is primarily due to the size of pathways, where the mitochondrial component is typically a small portion of the examined signaling network. To allow a specific exploration of mitochondrial activity through transcriptomic profiles, we developed the mitology R package. We started with a collection of genes whose proteins localize in to the mitochondria, derived from specialized databases like MitoCarta, IMPI, MSeqDR, and from the Gene Ontology database (genes annotated with terms related to ‘mitochondri-’ in their description). Then, exploiting the mitochondrial gene list, mitology provides ready-to-use implementations of MitoCarta pathways and also a reorganization of general pathway databases, like Reactome and Gene Ontology, with a specific focus on the pathways related to mitochondria activity. Finally, mitology utilizes these mitochondria-focused pathways to conduct mitochondrial pathway analyses, enabling single-sample assessments. Furthermore, we extended the functionality of our package to accommodate classical gene expression data, as well as the newest techniques of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. Mitology emerges as a novel R package adept at dissecting and unraveling mitochondrial activity, serving as an instrument for conducting targeted mitochondrial studies.

ABSTRACTThe Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a crucial role in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of key cell cycle regulators, which is completed by 26S proteasome. Previously, SAMBA, a plant-specific regulator of the APC/C, was identified in Arabidopsis as a critical factor controlling organ size through the regulation of cell proliferation. Here, by assessing its role in the crop tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), we confirm that SAMBA is a conserved APC/C regulator in plants. Twoslsambagenome-edited lines were characterized showing delayed growth, reduced plant size and altered fruit morphology, which were linked to changes in cell division and expansion. Notably, untargeted metabolomics revealed altered flavonoid profiles, along with elevated Brix values in the fruits, indicating a sweeter taste. Accordingly, transcriptomics uncovered a change in temporal gene expression gradients during early fruit development, correlating with the alterations in sugar metabolism and revealing changes in cell wall biosynthesis genes. This study provides the first evidence ofSAMBA’srole in regulating fruit development, metabolic content, and, ultimately, quality. These important findings offer potential applications for improving the nutritional quality and overall performance of tomato.
Removal of epicuticular wax has no effect on the rate of cuticular wax deposition, which is constant in mature cherry laurel leaves
Authors: Janová Jitka , Kalistová Tereza , Kubásek Jiří 
Published: December 2024

SummaryThe plant cuticle, multifunctional hydrophobic air-to-plant boundary, vary dramatically among plant species and responds dynamically to environmental and biotic factors. These dynamics, certainly driven by cost-benefit selection, are poorly understood up to now.13C labelling and compound-specific isotope analysis open a new avenue to study the cuticle dynamics. We studied side specific leaf cuticular wax regeneration, in different compounds, and separately for intra-(IW) and epicuticular wax (EW), as well as the effect of epicuticular wax removal on the regeneration rate.Mature leaves that reached the final area before the start of the experiment deposited new IW at first, but quickly equilibrated with EW. Removal of EW accelerated this equilibration but not the net rate of new wax deposition. The n-alkanes had the fastest turnover. Pentacyclic triterpenoids (ursolic acid) had a surprisingly slow turnover due to the large pool but also slow deposition rate. Adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces exhibited small but consistent differences.We demonstrated for the first time that EW removal does not affect wax deposition rate in evergreen leaf cuticle. We also confirmed that collodion discriminates between EW and IW well and does not inhibit future leaf metabolism and wax deposition in our species.
