AbstractVitamin D deficiency in infants is widely prevalent. Most paediatric professional associations recommend routine vitamin D prophylaxis for infants. However, the optimal dose and duration of supplementation are still debated. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of different vitamin D supplementation regimens in term and late preterm neonates. For this systematic review and network meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Embase. Randomised and quasi-randomised clinical trials that evaluated any enteral vitamin D supplementation regimen initiated within 6 weeks of life were included. Two researchers independently extracted data on study characteristics and outcomes and assessed quality of included studies. A network meta-analysis with a Bayesian random-effects model was used for data synthesis. Certainty of evidence (CoE) was assessed using GRADE. Primary outcomes were mean serum vitamin D concentrations and the proportion of infants with vitamin D insufficiency (VDI). We included twenty-nine trials that evaluated fourteen different regimens of vitamin D supplementation. While all dosage regimens of ≥400 IU/d increased the mean 25(OH)D levels compared with no treatment, supplementation of ≤250 IU/d and 1400 IU/week did not. The CoE varied from very low to high. Low CoE indicated that 1600 IU/d, compared with lower dosages, reduced the proportion of infants with VDI. However, our results indicated that any dosage of ≥800 IU/d increased the risk of hypervitaminosis D and hypercalcaemia. Data on major clinical outcomes were sparse. Vitamin D supplementation of 400–600 IU/d may be the most effective and safest in infants.

Abstract
In Singapore, the Critically Endangered Sunda pangolin Manis javanica is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and road traffic collisions. To mitigate these threats, an understanding of its spatiotemporal distribution is needed, as identified in the National Conservation Strategy and Action Plan for the species. However, Sunda pangolin occurrence data are held in multiple separate databases, are typically collected using non-standardized methods, and often lack accurate location details. To compile a complete georeferenced database of Sunda pangolin records in Singapore, we consolidated occurrence data from heterogeneous databases and mainstream and social media, and converted locality descriptions into geographical coordinates. We demonstrate the use of this database to analyse data on rescued pangolins and those killed on roads, to aid conservation efforts in Singapore, and describe other potential applications. We georeferenced 482 records of pangolin sightings, rescues and roadkill for 1996–2021, finding an increase in all three over the study period. Roadkill and rescues occurred mostly in central and western Singapore, close to forested areas, and were predominantly of subadults and adult males. The data can be used to inform threat mitigation strategies, post-rescue release plans and further research. The database has already been used in practice, contributing to environmental impact assessments and conservation recommendations. Overall, this georeferenced database demonstrates the value of citizen science and collating wildlife data from multiple sources, and the methods used can be applied to other taxa to aid conservation strategies.
Fluid revivals: retouring popular songs to restore a hydrological imaginary in the trans-Danube
Authors: MacMillen Ian 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis article examines emerging practices of popular music revivals that rely on affective commitments other than nostalgia. It uses two Serbian-based singers’ post-war Croatian tours as case studies, analysing musical fluidities in the material and symbolic navigation of post-Yugoslav performance networks and focusing on borderwaters such as the Danube that bridge the region's peoples, centring their interconnected industrial and cultural attachments, yet also physically and politically separating former Yugoslav republics. Reviewing hydrological conceptions of territorial belonging in the late-Yugoslav period and in the 1990s as expressed in their ballads and reception history, it argues that the singers (Đorđe Balašević and Zvonko Bogdan), in attempting to re-establish their interrepublic touring practices with the backing of Serbian tambura bands, engage in an economy of love that, as with revival tours elsewhere in Europe, has proved more efficacious than nostalgia for responding to recent political and socioeconomic changes in the European Union.
A comparison of teachers’ musical abilities between public and private kindergartens in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China
Authors: Yan Kunyu , Wang Lei 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This study investigates teachers’ musical abilities in Shandong kindergartens in China, making a comparison between public and private kindergartens. For this research, five public and five private kindergartens were selected within the same city. The methods of non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The findings show that the overall musical abilities of public kindergarten teachers were greater than those of private kindergarten teachers. This study reveals that leadership and government policy are important factors for influencing the results, and puts forward recommendations for making changes in policy to improve teachers’ musical abilities in private kindergartens.
Domain-specific research methods in instructed second language acquisition: A next step for research integrity and impact
Authors: Gurzynski-Weiss Laura 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Instructed second language acquisition (ISLA) is one of the fastest growing areas of applied linguistics. With this tremendous potential comes great responsibility for robust, ethical, and transparent research methods that are responsive to and tailored for the ISLA domain. This article highlights unique characteristics of ISLA research, provides a current landscape of methodological trends within ISLA, and makes specific recommendations for research methods in future ISLA studies. I begin by briefly operationalizing ISLA and articulating some of the main research questions and overarching goals within ISLA, as well as the nature and ultimate aims of ISLA research. Next, the most unique methodological challenges for ISLA research are reviewed, including the use of intact classes and heterogeneous small participant pools, cross-sectional studies, using one’s own students for research, and individual differences. This is followed by a discussion of several current trends in ISLA research methods, including examining the process of learning/development, conducting practice-based research, expanding our conceptualization of instructional contexts, replication studies, especially with bi/multilingual learners in diverse contexts, refining our methods with an eye for ethics and justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and conducting open, transparent research that has potential for real-world impact and which dialogues with multiple stakeholders at all stages. I conclude by highlighting that, as ISLA continues as an independent research domain, the development and implementation of strong research methods tailored for ISLA is critical for research integrity and to make the greatest strides in understanding language acquisition processes and effective pedagogical interventions in diverse instructional contexts.
The Death of a Christian—II: Our Personal Approach
Authors: Schillebeeckx E. H. 
Published: September 2024

The salutary worth of Christ's
death, as we have said, does not lie in the mere biological disintegration
of a man who was at the same time God, but rather in the obedient love
through which Christ sacrificed himself in absolute attachment to God. Death
objectively and factually implies the abandoning of all; a thorough rooting
out and dispossessing of self, a passive being-shut-off from without, a loss
of proprietary right to self. Death takes everything from us. This precisely
is the nature of death as a punishment for sin.Death is
something that happens to us; in itself dying is not an Action done by man,
let alone the greatest action he does: it is something which overcomes us.
Death can therefore only have a positive, Christian and salutary
significance when we freely accept this alienation from self, which is a
fact, as a positively desired detachment from self for the love of God in
union with the dying Christ.
The Vocation of the Catholic Woman Teacher
Authors: Alexander Alex 
Published: September 2024

The teaching profession has for a long time been recognized as a normal
sphere of influence for women. But even among Catholics, teaching is too
often considered as no more than a profession; in other words, simply a
means of livelihood requiring a high degree of training or specialized
knowledge. It is, in fact, very much more. At this time, when observations
and educational theories are current subjects of interest and discussion, it
is perhaps worth trying to make some assessment of the teaching vocation to
which both lay women and teaching religious are called by God.
It is at last being recognized by both clergy and laity that in these
days the term ‘vocation', for so long restricted to the meaning of a call to
life in the cloister, has in fact a very much wider sense. Now it is
understood, rather, as the call of God to the individual to follow a
particular path that he reveals to them.
Padre Pio and the Stigmata
Authors: Smith C. Newlyn 
Published: September 2024

Several articles have appeared recently in English publications about
Padre Pio, the Italian Franciscan friar who for the last thirty-four years
has borne ‘stigmata’ in hands and feet and side, resembling the traditional
wounds of our Lord on the Cross.
Stigmata—in these days the word itself is apt to cause some raising of
scientific eyebrows; it conjures up pictures of hysterical and neurotic
girls inflicting wounds on themselves so as to be thought holy. Pious folk
are too often over-credulous; and another instance, also in a person living
today, has been under much discussion. It is necessary, therefore, to get at
the facts.
Others have written of Padre Pio's life in its setting, of his
extraordinary influence over the crowds who flock to S. Giovanni Rotondo to
see him, of his apostolate of the confessional, of the village, almost, that
has sprung up round his monastery, and the big modern hospital, now almost
completed, that has been built through his inspiration and
encouragement.
The Word Manifest

He that loveth me shall be loved of my Father; and I will
love him and will manifest myself to him.—John 14,
21.
The feast of the Nativity is the feast of the birth of the Word; his
eternal generation in the bosom of the Father, his temporal birth; and his
mystical birth in the souls of men, in which is involved their birth to
divine life.
The Christmas liturgy is at different times concerned with each of these
aspects of the Mystery.
Dominus dixit ad me. Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui

Early emotion regulation developmental trajectories and ADHD, internalizing, and conduct problems symptoms in childhood
Authors: Murray Aja Louise , Russell Amanda , Calderón Alfaro Francisco Antonio 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Emotion dysregulation is considered a transdiagnostic factor with importance for a range of neurodevelopmental and mental health issues, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, internalizing problems, and conduct problems. Emotion regulation skills are acquired from early in life and are thought to strengthen gradually over childhood. Children, however, acquire these skills at different rates and slower acquisition may serve as a marker for neurodevelopmental and mental health issues. The current study uses the UK Millennium Cohort Study, a large longitudinal study to evaluate whether developmental trajectories of emotion regulation across ages 3, 5, and 7 predict levels of ADHD symptoms, internalizing problems, and conduct problems at age 7. Both higher initial levels of and slower reductions in emotion dysregulation across ages 3, 5, and 7 predicted higher ADHD symptoms, conduct problems, and internalizing problems at age 7 in both male and female children. Our findings suggest that monitoring trajectories of emotion regulation over development could help flag at-risk children. Additionally, supporting the acquisition of emotion regulation skills in this critical period could be a promising transdiagnostic preventive intervention.
CAPILLARY LEVELLING OF THIN LIQUID FILMS OF POWER-LAW RHEOLOGY
Authors: DALLASTON MICHAEL C. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWe find solutions that describe the levelling of a thin fluid film, comprising a non-Newtonian power-law fluid, that coats a substrate and evolves under the influence of surface tension. We consider the evolution from periodic and localized initial conditions as separate cases. The particular (similarity) solutions in each of these two cases exhibit the generic property that the profiles are weakly singular (that is, higher-order derivatives do not exist) at points where the pressure gradient vanishes. Numerical simulations of the thin film equation, with either periodic or localized initial condition, are shown to approach the appropriate particular solution.
Bereavement guilt among young adults impacted by caregivers’ cancer: Associations with attachment style, experiential avoidance, and psychological flexibility

Published: September 2024

AbstractObjectivesThis paper focuses on the experiences of bereavement guilt among young adults bereaved by a caregiver’s cancer, examining associations with attachment style, experiential avoidance, and psychological flexibility with the aim of informing psychosocial interventions for this population.MethodsNinety-seven young adults (18–25 years) bereaved by a parent/guardian’s cancer completed an online survey, including measures of bereavement guilt, attachment style, experiential avoidance, and psychological flexibility. Mediation analyses explored the associations between attachment style (anxious, avoidant) and bereavement guilt, and if these associations were mediated by experiential avoidance or psychological flexibility.ResultsBereavement guilt was significantly positively associated with anxious, but not avoidant, attachment to the deceased; the relationship between anxious attachment and bereavement guilt was partially mediated by experiential avoidance. Bereavement guilt was also negatively associated with psychological flexibility and engagement with bereavement counseling.Significance of resultsGiven the limited literature on cancer-related bereavement in young adulthood, this study offers important theoretical and clinical insights into factors associated with more complex aspects of grief in this population. Specifically, this work identified that anxious attachment is associated with ongoing bereavement complications in the years following the death of a caregiver to cancer, with experiential avoidance partially mediating this relationship. While further research is needed to better understand the interaction between these factors and other related constructs, such as psychological flexibility, these findings may be helpful in selecting therapeutic approaches to use with this population.

AbstractGlobal warming has prompted globally widespread permafrost thawing, resulting in enhanced greenhouse gas release into the atmosphere. Studies conducted in the Northern Hemisphere reveal an alarming increase in permafrost thawing. However, similar data from Antarctica are scarce. We conducted a 2‐D Deep Electrical Resistivity Tomography (DERT) survey in Taylor Valley, Antarctica, to image the distribution of permafrost, its thicknesses, lower boundaries, and hydrogeology. Results show resistive, discontinuous domains that we suggest represent permafrost units. We also find highly conductive layers (5–10 Ω·m), between 300–350 m and 600–650 m below ground level and a shallower (∼50–100 m depth) conductive layer. The combined data set reveals a broad brine system in Taylor Valley, implying multi‐tiered groundwater circulation: a shallow, localized system linked with surface water bodies and a separate deeper, regional circulation system. The arrangement of these brines across different levels, coupled with the uneven permafrost distribution, underscores potential interplay between the two systems.
A Simple Model of Flow Reversals in Florida’s Karst Springs
Authors: Klammler Harald , Jawitz James W. , Cohen Matthew J. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractNorth Florida's karst springs are among the largest and most abundant in the world. Despite relatively stable spring discharges, flow reversals can episodically occur in some springs when river waters backflow into the aquifer during flood events. Reversals are normal features of the springs along the Suwanee River, but the changing incidence of these reversals in response to anthropogenic activities or climate change remains unclear and the mechanisms responsible for these reversals remain poorly described. Here we develop a reduced‐complexity hydrogeological model of the Suwannee River catchment to explore conditions needed to induce spring flow reversals. Our model demonstrates that reversals require two conditions: (a) a hydrogeological setting that combines an upstream catchment with rapid hydrological responses to meteorological drivers, which freely drains to a downstream catchment containing the karst aquifer (i.e., the spring‐fed river segment); and (b) meteorological conditions that create sufficient temporal variability in recharge. Given both conditions, recharge events can propagate from the upstream catchment and fill the downstream river segment faster than it can drain, causing river stage to rise above the aquifer head, resulting in temporary spring flow reversal (or bank storage). Our model accurately predicts significant post‐flood increases in spring flow as bank storage recedes, and using measured electrical conductivity at a major river‐adjacent spring we also quantify the enhancement of limestone dissolution (cave enlargement) due to reversal events. A comprehensive assessment of the incidence and duration of reversal events shows a predominant influence of climate and vegetation changes over that of groundwater pumping.
Estimating Grain Sizes of Martian Dune Sand: A Freeware‐Based Methodology With Initial Results
Authors: Burr D. M. , Nguyen V. N. H. , Gibson T. M.‐G. , Chinchkhede T. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractGrain sizes of Martian sand dunes are critical sedimentological data on sand provenance and transport pathways. Thermal inertia values are used to characterize the grain sizes of dune sand. Most early characterizations involved single dune fields. Recent work based on global data sets has provided more wide‐spread dune sand locations, though these data sets include the non‐sandy interdune areas. To provide a more accurate grain size characterization, we leverage a global thermal inertia data set, a global dune database and a global imaging mosaic to develop a freeware‐based methodology for deriving grain sizes. This methodology involves delineation of sand‐only areas within dune fields and collection of thermal inertia values from those areas. We consider a unimodal histogram of values with a mode <∼350 thermal inertia units (J m−2 K−1 s−1/2) to imply an effective exclusion of non‐sand surfaces. Application of this methodology to dune fields for which thermal inertia values have been previous derived shows our results fall within the envelope of those values. We apply our methodology to tropical dune fields on Mars for which Dust Cover Index data imply dust‐free surfaces. Conversion of these thermal inertia values to sand grain sizes yields a range of sand classifications of fine sand to granules. Comparison of sand size classifications with geographic location shows grain size ranges that are distinctive by location, consistent with local sourcing. This work points toward geographically diverse sand formation mechanisms yielding diverse grain sizes, while providing a freeware‐based and thus widely accessible method for expanding the derivation of these critical data.
Particle Simulation Study of Obliquely Propagating Whistler Waves in Low‐Beta Plasmas

Published: September 2024

AbstractWhistler mode waves, which are electromagnetic emissions commonly observed in various space plasma environments, play critical roles in electron dynamics. While most whistler waves are driven by temperature anisotropy and propagate parallel to the background magnetic field, these waves can also be excited in the oblique direction when electron plasma beta is very low (<0.025). Although linear theory accounts for the excitation processes of obliquely propagating whistler waves, the subsequent evolution and saturation processes remain inadequately understood. This study utilizes two‐dimensional self‐consistent simulations to investigate the complete wave‐particle interaction process. By scanning a broad parameter range, we derive scaling laws for the wave intensity, linking the wave properties to initial and final plasma conditions. The saturated temperature anisotropy from simulations can explain the upper bound anisotropy constraint observed by spacecraft well. Additional phase space analysis shows that both Landau and cyclotron resonance play critical roles in the evolution of electron velocity distribution, albeit in different energy ranges. Oblique whistler waves can effectively heat electrons through Landau resonance, creating a plateau distribution in the parallel direction. This research advances our understanding of the mechanisms behind obliquely propagating whistler waves in low‐beta plasmas and their impact on electron dynamics.
