‘For me it’s just the conversation:’ responsive feeding influences among early childhood educators
Authors: Levin Olga , McIsaac Jessie-Lee D , Campbell Julie , Dickson Elizabeth , Rossiter Melissa D 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objective:
Early learning and childcare (ELCC) programmes play an important role in shaping children’s eating behaviours and long-term health by establishing a responsive feeding environment that encompasses not only mealtime behaviours but also extends to play activities and language used throughout the day. Despite their potential benefits, many ELCC centres do not consistently implement responsive feeding behaviours, facing challenges with organisational and behavioural changes within these environments. This study aims to identify influences on responsive feeding behaviours among early childhood educators prior to an intervention.

Design:
A qualitative study guided by the Behaviour Change Wheel framework and Capability Opportunity Motivation – Behaviour (COM-B) model. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted, recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was employed to identify themes, categorising them within the corresponding COM-B domains.

Setting:
Canada.

Participants:
Forty-one ELCC staff in various roles across eight centres from two provinces in eastern Canada.

Results:
Fifteen influences, spanning across all six domains of the COM-B model, were identified, highlighting gaps in educators’ knowledge and skills, varied approaches to food and feeding, and the interactions with children, parents, and co-workers on mealtimes dynamics. Additionally, costs, centre location and other physical resources emerged as enabling opportunities for responsive feeding behaviours.

Conclusions:
These findings offer a comprehensive exploration of the diverse factors influencing responsive feeding behaviours among educators, each varying in its potential for future behaviour change intervention.

AbstractTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor receptors and has a poor prognosis as it is resistant to chemotherapy. A new treatment option for this type of cancer may be by putting these malignant cells into dormancy. The oocyte’s embryonic milieu presents a unique tumor reversion microenvironment by inducing growth arrest and changing cells’ phenotypes. We conducted an in-silico study to determine the most likely oocyte extract (OE) proteins involved in inducing dormancy using HDock, CluPro, and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. Results showed low energy scores for complexes between OE proteins and four surface markers: K1C14, CLD3, CLD4, and ITA6. Apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1) and Apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) showed the highest stability and affinity with these four surface markers: K1C14, CLD3, CLD4, and ITA6. These proteins are involved in key tumor-related pathways such as angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. This will pave the way for exploring novel therapeutic options to induce dormancy in TNBC cells.

AbstractConventional radiography (CR) is primarily utilized for fracture diagnosis. Artificial intelligence (AI) for CR is a rapidly growing field aimed at enhancing efficiency and increasing diagnostic accuracy. However, the diagnostic performance of commercially available AI fracture detection solutions (CAAI-FDS) for CR in various anatomical regions, their synergy with human assessment, as well as the influence of industry funding on reported accuracy are unknown. Peer-reviewed diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies were identified through a systematic review on Pubmed and Embase. Diagnostic performance measures were extracted especially for different subgroups such as product, type of rater (stand-alone AI, human unaided, human aided), funding, and anatomical region. Pooled measures were obtained with a bivariate random effects model. The impact of rater was evaluated with comparative meta-analysis. Seventeen DTA studies of seven CAAI-FDS analyzing 38,978 x-rays with 8,150 fractures were included. Stand-alone AI studies (n = 15) evaluated five CAAI-FDS; four with good sensitivities (> 90%) and moderate specificities (80–90%) and one with very poor sensitivity (< 60%) and excellent specificity (> 95%). Pooled sensitivities were good to excellent, and specificities were moderate to good in all anatomical regions (n = 7) apart from ribs (n = 4; poor sensitivity / moderate specificity) and spine (n = 4; excellent sensitivity / poor specificity). Funded studies (n = 4) had higher sensitivity (+ 5%) and lower specificity (-4%) than non-funded studies (n = 11). Sensitivity did not differ significantly between stand-alone AI and human AI aided ratings (p = 0.316) but specificity was significantly higher the latter group (p < 0.001). Sensitivity was significant lower in human unaided compared to human AI aided respectively stand-alone AI ratings (both p ≤ 0.001); specificity was higher in human unaided ratings compared to stand-alone AI (p < 0.001) and showed no significant differences AI aided ratings (p = 0.316). The study demonstrates good diagnostic accuracy across most CAAI-FDS and anatomical regions, with the highest performance achieved when used in conjunction with human assessment. Diagnostic accuracy appears lower for spine and rib fractures. The impact of industry funding on reported performance is small.

AbstractComparing time series of unequal length requires data processing procedures that may introduce biases. This article describes, validates, and applies Cross-Recurrence Quantification Analysis (CRQA) to detect and quantify correlation and coupling among time series of unequal length without prior data processing. We illustrate and validate this application using continuous and discrete data from a model system (study 1). Then we use the method to re-analyze the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS), a rare large dataset comprising detailed physiological sleep measurements acquired by in-home polysomnography. We investigate whether recurrence patterns of ultradian NREM/REM sleep cycles (USC) predict mortality (study 2). CRQA exhibits better performance compared with traditional approaches that require trimming, stretching or compression to bring two time series to the same length. Application to the SHHS indicates that recurrence patterns linked to stability of USCs are associated with all-cause mortality even after controlling for other sleep parameters, health, and sociodemographics. We suggest that CRQA is a useful tool for analyzing categorical time series, where the underlying structure of the data is unlikely to result in matching data points—such as ultradian sleep cycles.

AbstractEndoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) using endobronchial valves (EBV) is a treatment option for a subset of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), suffering from emphysema and hyperinflation. In this pilot study, we aimed to determine the presence of bacterial biofilm infections on EBV and investigate their involvement in lack of clinical benefits, worsening symptomatology, and increased exacerbations that lead to the decision to remove EBVs. We analyzed ten COPD patients with ELVR who underwent EBV removal. Clinical data were compared to the microbiological findings from conventional EBV culture. In addition, EBV were analyzed by FISHseq, a combination of Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with PCR and sequencing, for visualization and identification of microorganisms and biofilms. All ten patients presented with clinical symptoms, including pneumonia and recurrent exacerbations. Microbiological cultures from EBV detected several microorganisms in all ten patients. FISHseq showed either mixed or monospecies colonization on the EBV, including oropharyngeal bacterial flora, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus spp., and Fusobacterium sp. On 5/10 EBV, FISHseq visualized biofilms, on 1/10 microbial microcolonies, on 3/10 single microorganisms, and on 1/10 no microorganisms. The results of the study demonstrate the presence of biofilms on EBV for the first time and its potential involvement in increased exacerbations and clinical worsening in patients with ELVR. However, further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the clinical relevance of biofilm formation on EBV and appropriate treatment options to avoid infections in patients with ELVR.
Défenses inconscientes, sentiment de culpabilité et trauma
Authors: Valentin Virginie 
Published: October 2024

Cet article est fondé sur un témoignage portant sur les attentats du 13 novembre 2015 à Paris, d’une part et, d’autre part, sur la psychothérapie d’un jeune homme présentant un trauma lié à sa position « d’enfant de remplacement ». L’auteur montre comment certains mécanismes de défenses inconscientes et, en particulier, celui du « clivage de la personnalité » qui peut mener au déni de la réalité sont issus d’un puissant sentiment de culpabilité à l’œuvre chez des sujets aux prises avec certains traumatismes psychiques. Ayant entraîné le refoulement de certains aspects de la réalité momentanément chez l’homme se remémorant les attentats, à l’instar de Freud pris « du sentiment d’impiété » envers son père sur l’Acropole, il est le symptôme d’une névrose profonde et indissociable du syndrome du survivant, chez l’autre. Ainsi, ce type de défenses résultant d’un événement traumatique est inscrit plus ou moins profondément dans la psyché selon le moment biographique auquel il a lieu. Le traumatisme infantile ayant la particularité de créer des zones psychiques mortes ou cryptes.
La psychosomatique psychosociale : James Lorimer Halliday
Authors: Chemouni Jacquy 
Published: October 2024

L’article présente la pensée psychosomatique du psychanalyste écossais James Lorimer Halliday (1897-1983). Pionnier de la psychosomatique au Royaume-Uni, ses travaux sont généralement ignorés. Son œuvre inaugure pourtant une approche novatrice des troubles psychosomatiques alliant étiologie psychique et causalité sociale. Il lui revient d’avoir introduit en 1943 l’expression « Médecine psychosomatique » ainsi que celle de « maladie psychosomatique ». On lui doit également la rédaction du premier ouvrage psychobiographique centré sur la psychosomatique : Mr. Carlyle – My Patient. A psychosomatic Biography. Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) est un écrivain écossais, à la fois essayiste, mathématicien, traducteur, philosophe dont l’influence fut importante à l’époque victorienne.
Teaching cross-cultural pragmatics through AVT
Authors: Papakonstantinou Vasiliki 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
There is fairly little research on using translation to advance pragmatic competence in learners of English and highlight how translation can advance cross-cultural pragmatic awareness in EFL. The study attempts to explore how audio-visual translation (AVT) can introduce cross-cultural pragmatics to Greek learners of English. The data derive from the animated film Inside Out (Pixar 2015). The study takes dubbed dialogues to be a target-oriented data set, with the subtitles as an intermediate, constrained type of transfer where pragmatic shifts may be least visible or not at all. The research uses (a) the positive/negative politeness distinction as manifested through interpersonal proximity/distance (Brown and Levinson 1978; Sifianou 1992; Yule 1996; Horn and Ward 2006), and (b) the un/certainty avoidance communication style (Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov 2010). The aim is to familiarize learners with the significance of cross-cultural pragmatic awareness and its use in EFL teaching and learning. Analysis of the data is followed by a questionnaire addressing bilingual participants who confirmed the findings of the study. Results show types of pragmatic variation across English and Greek: for instance, the subtitles showed less signs of positive politeness strategies and more uncertainty features, while dubbing manifested more positive politeness strategies and stronger uncertainty avoidance, i.e., in alignment with features of the target language. Findings allow learners to look beyond grammaticality, at the level of pragmatic preference.
Story-telling perspectives in translating Aesop’s fables
Authors: Kostaragkou Maria 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Aesop’s fables have been multiply adapted and translated over the years to meet the needs of intended audiences. The study selects two Modern Greek (1993, 2011) and two English (1991, 2013) versions of Aesop’s fable The Woodcutter and Mercury to trace intra- and cross-cultural pragmatic variation in story-telling perspectives. Analysis of the four versions suggests that the Modern Greek versions of the fable seem to be more aware of the power differentials between Mercury and the Woodcutter, whereas the English versions rather focus on the woodcutter, somewhat blurring the figure of the god. A questionnaire addressing 15 respondents confirmed (a) power distance variation cross-culturally (with visuals in two of the versions conforming to intended power distance dynamics), and (b) variation in addressee age group identity. The significance of the research lies in that pragmatic aspects of meaning-making become cross-culturally visible in versions of the fable and draw attention to the potential of translation to advance understanding of what is adjusted in cross-cultural transfer.
Aesop’s fable The Lion and the Mouse
Authors: Marinova Olga 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Aesopic tradition has been highly adaptive (Lefkowitz 2006) as manifested in multicultural versions of fables. The study explores shifts in Aesop’s fable The Lion and the Mouse to highlight shifts in the representation of characters, in agreement with pragmatic tendencies across cultures, as — for instance — in the power distance between the lion and the mouse. It examines two Modern Greek (2003 and 2012), an English (1996), a Russian (2012) and a Ukrainian (1990) version of the fable to trace local perceptions of it. Analysis shows that translators (as storytellers) transform aspects of the fable in pragmatically meaningful ways: they add up to the adaptation process conforming to locally appreciated values. The significance of research lies in that translation is seen as another layer of adaptation which a source fable may undergo intra- and inter-culturally.
Disillusionment and impoverishment in a Greek version of Waiting for Godot
Authors: Kliafa Aliki 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The study examines how impoverishment and disillusionment in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot (1949) have been rendered on the Greek stage (transl. Papathanassopoulou 1984). Ιt examines the use of impoliteness which renders the protagonists’ outcast identity and frustration, as Godot is not showing up. Findings show that respondents appreciated both foul language (impoliteness) and humour (low-power distance) in the Greek version of the play. The significance of the study lies in that target audiences may enjoy aspects of characters’ identities perhaps unsuspected in the ST, because local contexts may prioritize codes manifesting intended attitudes.
Handwritten letters and grammatical structures in German
Authors: Reinken Niklas 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The German writing system reflects a lot of grammatical structures, such as morphological structures or syllables.
Writing shows grammar. This is already true in printed texts, but even more so in handwritten texts, because the potential
for variation is greater in those texts. Writers can more easily deviate from the usual shape of a character and use these deviations to mark
grammatical patterns. This article presents a suggestion for a methodology for the systematic categorisation of such form
deviations in handwritten German texts. Subsequently, it is shown with 〈e〉 and 〈h〉 that form deviations can indeed correlate with
linguistic structures.
Structure and electrical properties of polysilicon films doped with ammonium tetraborate tetrahydrate
Authors: Tang Yehua , Wang Yuchao , Zhou Chunlan , Wang Ke-Fan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Here, p-type polysilicon films are fabricated by ex-situ doping method with ammonium tetraborate tetrahydrate (ATT) as the boron source, named ATT-pPoly. The effects of ATT on the properties of polysilicon films are comprehensively analyzed. The Raman spectra reveal that the ATT-pPoly film is composed of grain boundary and crystalline regions. The preferred orientation is the (111) direction. The grain size increases from 16−23 nm to 21−47 nm, by ~70% on average. Comparing with other reported films, Hall measurements reveal that the ATT-pPoly film has a higher carrier concentration (>1020 cm−3) and higher carrier mobility (>30 cm2/(V·s)). The superior properties of the ATT-pPoly film are attributed to the heavy doping and improved grain size. Heavy doping property is proved by the mean sheet resistance (R
sheet,m) and distribution profile. The R
sheet,m decreases by more than 30%, and it can be further decreased by 90% if the annealing temperature or duration is increased. The boron concentration of ATT-pPoly film annealed at 950 °C for 45 min is ~3 × 1020 cm−3, and the distribution is nearly the same, except near the surface. Besides, the standard deviation coefficient (σ) of R
sheet,m is less than 5.0%, which verifies the excellent uniformity of ATT-pPoly film.

Abstract
Cryogenic oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) has promising application in cryogenic optical interconnect for cryogenic computing. In this paper, we demonstrate a cryogenic 850-nm oxide-confined VCSEL at around 4 K. The cryogenic VCSEL with an optical oxide aperture of 6.5 μm in diameter can operate in single fundamental mode with a side-mode suppression-ratio of 36 dB at 3.6 K, and the fiber-coupled output power reaches 1 mW at 5 mA. The small signal modulation measurements at 298 and 292 K show the fabricated VCSEL has the potential to achieve a high modulation bandwidth at cryogenic temperature.

Abstract

Background
Few prospective investigations have compared direct and indirect techniques through comprehensive and detailed clinical evaluations, considering the impact of all factors.

Objectives
This study aimed to compare and evaluate direct and indirect bonding methods at a single institution and to clarify the selection criteria for the bonding method.

Materials and methods
This single-centre, quasi-randomized controlled clinical trial included 153 patients who required fixed orthodontic treatment. They were randomly divided into indirect and direct binding groups by the project lead (K.K.), who was blinded to all clinical data, and performed the allocation using medical record numbers. The chair time for bracket bonding, discomfort during bracket bonding, oral hygiene after bonding, number of bracket failures, number of intentional bracket reattachments, post-treatment occlusal index, and total treatment time were assessed. Outcomes were compared using a two-sample t-test or Mann–Whitney U test (P &lt; .05).

Results
Fifty-eight patients were included in the indirect bonding group (20 male, 38 female; mean age: 20.63 ± 5.69 years) and 66 (14 male, 52 female; mean age: 23.17 ± 8.83 years) in the direct bonding group. Compared to the direct bonding group, the indirect bonding group had shorter chair time (P &lt; .001), a shorter total treatment period (P &lt; .01), and a better final occlusal relationship (P &lt; .001). The number of bracket detachments was higher (P &lt; .001) in the indirect bonding group, but the number of intentional reattachments was lower (P &lt; .001).

Conclusion
Indirect bonding may improve the efficiency of orthodontic treatment.

Harms
No harm was observed during the study.

Trial registration number
This trial was approved by the Ethics Review Committee of Okayama University (approval number: d10001), UMIN registration number 000022182.
