AbstractAdequate fruit and vegetable consumption is essential for healthy ageing and prevention and management of chronic disease. This study aimed to examine characteristics associated with fruit and vegetable consumption in Chinese men and women aged 50 years and over. Data from the first wave of the Chinese cohort (2008–2010) of the WHO’s Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) survey was used. Fruit and vegetable consumption was assessed by self-reported typical consumption in serves/day. Characteristics examined were age, education, financial security, home ownership, marital status, social cohesion and rural location. Associations with fruit and vegetable consumption were assessed using multiple linear regression adjusted for confounders and stratified by sex. Overall, women consumed more serves of fruit per day than men (mean (standard deviation): 2·6 (2·2) and 2·2 (2·1) serves/day, respectively) whereas men consumed more serves of vegetables than women (7·2 (4·0) and 6·7 (3·7)). Lower fruit consumption was associated with lower education, lower social participation, income insecurity, renting, being un-partnered and rural residency in men and women, as well as older age in women. Lower vegetable consumption was associated with older age, lower education and urban residency in men and women and lower social participation in men and being unpartnered in women. This study has identified characteristics associated with fruit and vegetable intake in a sample of mid aged and older Chinese men and women. Further research on the interrelationships between these characteristics and fruit and vegetable intake as well as longitudinal relationships is warranted.

AbstractThe functioning and richness of marine systems (and biological interactions such as parasitism) are continuously influenced by a changing environment. Using hierarchical modelling of species communities (HMSC), the presence and abundance of multiple parasite species of the black-spotted croaker, Protonibea diacanthus (Sciaenidae), was modelled against environmental measures reflecting seasonal change. Protonibea diacanthus were collected in three seasons across 2019–2021 from four locations within the waters of the Northern Territory, Australia. The length of P. diacanthus proved to have a strong positive effect on the abundance of parasite taxa and overall parasitic assemblage of the sciaenid host. This finding introduces potential implications for parasitism in the future as fish body size responds to fishing pressure and climate changes. Of the various environmental factors measured during the tropical seasons of northern Australia, water temperature and salinity changes were shown as potential causal factors for the variance in parasite presence and abundance, with changes most influential on external parasitic organisms. As environmental factors like ocean temperature and salinity directly affect parasite–host relationships, this study suggests that parasite assemblages and the ecological functions that they perform are likely to change considerably over the coming decades in response to climate change and its proceeding effects.
“Uncommitted”: The Limitations of Election Forecasting on Minorities and the Case of American Muslim Voters
Authors: Sediqe Nura Ahmad 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Drawing on the case of American Muslim voter engagement in the 2024 election season, this article argues that election-forecasting models – particularly state-based models – should integrate minority populations into their analysis as crucial variables. This is of particular significance in swing states. By including minority-voter engagement and related variables relevant to them such as pressing policy concerns (e.g., anti-war sentiment and racial attitudes), forecasters can better understand and predict electoral outcomes and address the gaps identified in traditional forecasting approaches. The recommendations presented in this article help election forecasters prepare for unexpected changes, such as the American Muslim shift of support away from President Biden in the 2024 primary election season.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThis study applies surveys of business and household expenditure to draw inferences about the size of regional multipliers to assess the cascading economic impacts of the data-limited Indonesian tropical tuna fishery. The average business-level production multiplier was estimated at around 1.3 across survey respondents, while household-level consumption effects were considerably higher, with the total economic effect roughly three times larger than the production value. A statistical analysis using generalized additive models suggests that there is considerable difference in production multipliers across regions, driven by the individual characteristics of operators, such as revenue/profit, size of the boat, type of gear, and the class of the port where the business is located. This research has the potential to provide a practical management tool to measure flow-on economic impacts of a fishery when information necessary for more formal economic analysis is unavailable, such as for data-limited fisheries or small regional studies.
From the Mandate of Heaven to the modern state: the nation according to Wei Xiaobao
Authors: Hazard David 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Jin Yong novel The Deer and the Cauldron through the lens of Etienne Balibar's theory of super-nationalism and supranationalism. The novel employs a pan-Asian racial ideology to expand national identity from Han Chinese to other ethnic groups (supranationalism) by introducing a racial Other, white Europeans, to unify warring groups. Simultaneously, Han culture is consistently uplifted as superior (super-nationalism). A critical sequence features the Kangxi Emperor asserting his legitimacy as the ruler of China to the protagonist Wei Xiaobao by claiming the Mandate of Heaven has passed from the Ming to the Qing dynasty. However, Han Chinese gallants and intellectuals constantly challenge his legitimacy because, as a Manchu, he is considered foreign. To resolve this issue, Wei Xiaobao begins constructing a racial national framework that includes Manchus. This paper further argues that Wei Xiaobao's moral relativism, unusual for a protagonist in martial arts fiction, enables the flexibility to redefine Chinese identity on racial grounds instead of moral or cultural. The Deer and the Cauldron illustrates the transition from the Mandate of Heaven to modern nation-state ideology in China, in the form of an irreverent martial arts fiction novel, crafted by the genre's greatest master.

AbstractGlobal modeling of aerosol‐particle number and size is important for understanding aerosol effects on Earth's climate and air quality. Fine‐resolution global models are desirable for representing nonlinear aerosol‐microphysical processes, their nonlinear interactions with dynamics and chemistry, and spatial heterogeneity. However, aerosol‐microphysical simulations are computationally demanding, which can limit the achievable global horizontal resolution. Here, we present the first coupling of the TwO‐Moment Aerosol Sectional (TOMAS) microphysics scheme with the High‐Performance configuration of the GEOS‐Chem model of atmospheric composition (GCHP), a coupling termed GCHP‐TOMAS. GCHP's architecture allows massively parallel GCHP‐TOMAS simulations including on the cloud, using hundreds of computing cores, faster runtimes, more memory, and finer global horizontal resolution (e.g., 25 km × 25 km, 7.8 × 105 model columns) versus the previous single‐node capability of GEOS‐Chem‐TOMAS (tens of cores, 200 km × 250 km, 1.3 × 104 model columns). GCHP‐TOMAS runtimes have near‐ideal scalability with computing‐core number. Simulated global‐mean number concentrations increase (dominated by free‐tropospheric over‐ocean sub‐10‐nm‐diameter particles) toward finer GCHP‐TOMAS horizontal resolution. Increasing the horizontal resolution from 200 km × 200–50 km × 50 km increases the global monthly mean free‐tropospheric total particle number by 18.5%, and over‐ocean sub‐10‐nm‐diameter particles by 39.8% at 4‐km altitude. With a cascade of contributing factors, free‐tropospheric particle‐precursor concentrations increase (32.6% at 4‐km altitude) with resolution, promoting new‐particle formation and growth that outweigh coagulation changes. These nonlinear effects have the potential to revise current understanding of processes controlling global aerosol number and aerosol impacts on Earth's climate and air quality.
Temporal Evolution of Gaseous Mercury Across the Sea Ice‐Seawater Interface: A Mesocosm Study
Authors: Gao Zhiyuan , Munson Kathleen , Wang Feiyue 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn the marine cryosphere, seasonal sea ice dynamics affect the behavior of gaseous mercury, yet the mechanism remains poorly understood. By carrying out an outdoor sea ice mesocosm study, we examine primarily the abiotic factors influencing mercury dynamics and show distinct behaviors of gaseous mercury across the sea ice‐seawater interface over the full growth‐melt cycle. The distribution of gaseous mercury in sea ice is influenced by entrapment of gaseous mercury from different sources into sea ice of different textures, transport schemes within sea ice, and in situ cryo‐processes that affect mercury speciation. In the growing sea ice sections where solar radiation penetrated, production of gaseous mercury was observed, supporting the occurrence of in‐ice cryo‐photoreduction of divalent mercury. In under‐ice seawater, concentrations of dissolved gaseous mercury decreased gradually during ice growth and increased rapidly to pre‐freezing levels as ice started to melt, suggesting that the atmosphere‐sea ice‐seawater exchange pathway of gaseous mercury could be re‐established through melting first‐year sea ice. Our results from this unique mesocosm study provide new insights on the dynamics of gaseous mercury in and around sea ice that are primarily driven by abiotic processes, assisting model parameterizations for mercury cycling in polar regions.

Abstract
Background
This study aims to explore the association of childhood maltreatment with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adulthood, and whether obesity is a mediator of the latter.

Methods
In a retrospective cohort study using UK Biobank data, participants recalled childhood maltreatment. Linear regression, logistic regression, and Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the associations with body mass index (BMI), obesity, and T2D, adjusted for sociodemographic factors. Decomposition analysis was used to examine the extent to which T2D excess risk was attributed to BMI.

Results
Of the 153,601 participants who completed the childhood maltreatment questions, one-third reported some form of maltreatment. Prevalence of adult obesity and incidence of T2D were higher with the number of reported childhood maltreatment types. People who reported ≥3 types of childhood maltreatment were at higher risk of obesity (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.47–1.63) and incident T2D (HR 1.65, 95% CI 1.52–1.80). Excess T2D risk among those reporting maltreatment could be reduced by 39% if their BMI was comparable to participants who had not been maltreated, assuming causality.

Conclusions
People who recalled maltreatment in childhood are at higher risk of T2D in adulthood, partly due to obesity.

AbstractThe rising prevalence and legalisation of cannabis worldwide have underscored the need for a comprehensive understanding of its biological impact, particularly on mental health. Epigenetic mechanisms, specifically DNA methylation, have gained increasing recognition as vital factors in the interplay between risk factors and mental health. This study aimed to explore the effects of current cannabis use and high-potency cannabis on DNA methylation in two independent cohorts of individuals experiencing first-episode psychosis (FEP) compared to control subjects. The combined sample consisted of 682 participants (188 current cannabis users and 494 never users). DNA methylation profiles were generated on blood-derived DNA samples using the Illumina DNA methylation array platform. A meta-analysis across cohorts identified one CpG site (cg11669285) in the CAVIN1 gene that showed differential methylation with current cannabis use, surpassing the array-wide significance threshold, and independent of the tobacco-related epigenetic signature. Furthermore, a CpG site localised in the MCU gene (cg11669285) achieved array-wide significance in an analysis of the effect of high-potency (THC = > 10%) current cannabis use. Pathway and regional analyses identified cannabis-related epigenetic variation proximal to genes linked to immune and mitochondrial function, both of which are known to be influenced by cannabinoids. Interestingly, a model including an interaction term between cannabis use and FEP status identified two sites that were significantly associated with current cannabis use with a nominally significant interaction suggesting that FEP status might moderate how cannabis use affects DNA methylation. Overall, these findings contribute to our understanding of the epigenetic impact of current cannabis use and highlight potential molecular pathways affected by cannabis exposure.

Abstract

Background
Neuroimaging studies have provided valuable insights into the macroscale impacts of antidepressants on brain functions in patients with major depressive disorder. However, the findings of individual studies are inconsistent. Here, we aimed to provide a quantitative synthesis of the literature to identify convergence of the reported findings at both regional and network levels and to examine their associations with neurotransmitter systems.

Methods
Through a comprehensive search in PubMed and Scopus databases, we reviewed 5258 abstracts and identified 36 eligible functional neuroimaging studies on antidepressant effects in major depressive disorder. Activation likelihood estimation was used to investigate regional convergence of the reported foci of antidepressant effects, followed by functional decoding and connectivity mapping of the convergent clusters. Additionally, utilizing group-averaged data from the Human Connectome Project, we assessed convergent resting-state functional connectivity patterns of the reported foci. Next, we compared the convergent circuit with the circuits targeted by transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. Last, we studied the association of regional and network-level convergence maps with selected neurotransmitter receptors/transporters maps.

Results
No regional convergence was found across foci of treatment-associated alterations in functional imaging. Subgroup analysis in the Treated > Untreated contrast revealed a convergent cluster in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which was associated with working memory and attention behavioral domains. Moreover, we found network-level convergence of the treatment-associated alterations in a circuit more prominent in the frontoparietal areas. This circuit was co-aligned with circuits targeted by “anti-subgenual” and “Beam F3” transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. We observed no significant correlations between our meta-analytic findings with the maps of neurotransmitter receptors/transporters.

Conclusion
Our findings highlight the importance of the frontoparietal network and the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in the therapeutic effects of antidepressants, which may relate to their role in improving executive functions and emotional processing.

Abstract
Background
The primary goal of surgery in HNSCC is the complete resection of tumor cells with maximum preservation of normal tissue. The membrane Hsp70-targeting fluorescence labelled peptide TPP-IRDye800 represents a promising tool for real-time intraoperative tumor visualization, enabling the detection of true tumor margins, critical isles of high-grade dysplasia and LN metastases.

Methods
Membrane Hsp70 (mHsp70) expression on HNSCC cell lines and primary HNSCC was determined by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy using FITC-conjugated mAb cmHsp70.1 and TPP. TPP-IRDye800 was sprayed on freshly resected tumor material of immunohistochemically confirmed HNSCC and LN metastases for tumor imaging. TBRs were compared using TPP-IRDye800 and Cetuximab-IRDye680, recognizing EGFR.

Results
mHsp70 expressing HNSCC cells specifically bind and internalize TPP in vitro. The TBR (2.56 ± 0.39) and AUC [0.98 CI, 0.95–1.00 vs. 0.91 CI, 0.85–0.97] of TPP-IRDye800 on primary HNSCC was significantly higher than Cetuximab-IRDye680 (1.61 ± 0.39) (p = 0.0068) and TPP-IRDye800 provided a superior tumor delineation. Fluorescence imaging showed higher AUC values than a visual inspection by surgeons [0.97 CI, 0.94–1.00 vs. 0.92 CI, 0.88–0.97] (p = 0.048). LN metastases could be visualized using TPP-IRDye800. Real-time tissue delineation was confirmed using the clinically applied KARL-STORZ imaging system.

Conclusion
TPP-IRDye800 is a promising fluorescence imaging probe for HNSCC.
Terra Preta production from Ghanaian and Zambian soils using domestic wastes
Authors: Neina Dora , Glaser Bruno 
Published: October 2024

AbstractQuests for productive soils to close yield gaps call for innovative strategies. This study tested an off-site formation of the Amazonian Terra Preta (TP) in a potential modern analogon under coastal savannah climatic conditions of Ghana. Four Ghanaian and two Zambian soils; two types of biochar (i.e., rice husk biochar and charcoal residues); domestic wastes (i.e., kitchen leftovers, animal manures, human urine, and kitchen ash) were mixed with the soils wetted to 100% water holding capacity, and incubated under aerobic conditions for nine months. Indicators of the TP include total carbon (C), pH, base saturation, basic cations, and plant-available P, which were measured using standard methods of soil analysis. The TP formation enhanced soil pH by 0.02 to 2.9, ranging from pH 7.2 to 8.2, with charcoal residues having the highest effect on pH. The modern TP was characterized by relatively high total C, pH, K, Ca, Mg, Na, base saturation, and plant-available P. These properties reflect unique interactions between the chars, wastes, and soils, suggesting the potential for on-site TP formation. It calls for further studies, commitment, and perseverance in their formation in the future.

AbstractThe cryopreservation of rat embryos is useful for efficiently archiving rat resources in bioresource repositories. The cryopreserved fertilized oocytes can be quickly reanimated to rats with homozygous mutations using embryo transfer. In addition, cryopreserved rat fertilized oocytes are easier to transport than live animals. Before cryopreservation, fertilized oocytes are obtained by mating or in vitro fertilization. However, it is not clear which fertilized oocytes are most suited to cryopreservation. In this study, we performed a systematic comparison of the fertilizing ability, cryotolerance, and developmental ability of cryopreserved fertilized oocytes at the pronuclear stage produced either by mating (in vivo) or in vitro fertilization (in vitro) in SD and F344 rats. In vivo-fertilized oocytes had higher cryotolerance and developmental ability than in vitro-fertilized oocytes in SD and F344 rats. Furthermore, the fertilization ability, cryotolerance, and developmental ability of vitrified-warmed fertilized oocytes differed between SD and F344 rats. In conclusion, our study suggests that in vivo-fertilized rat oocytes were more suitable for cryopreservation. Our protocol provides an optimized system for the management of rat colonies using fertilized oocytes cryopreservation and contributes to the 3Rs principle by reducing the number of animals used for research.
