Engaging faith for a sustainable urban future
Authors: Ives Christopher D. , Baker Christopher 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Non-technical summary
Effectively addressing climate change requires new approaches to action, implementation and social change. Urban societies are profoundly shaped by faith, with religion influencing the physical environment, institutional structures and lives of citizens. Consequently, there is a need to consider seriously religion's role in mobilizing or constraining climate action in cities. Research is presented that shows the potential of faith-based organizations and faith perspectives to minimize and adapt to climate impacts. A framework for sensitively engaging faith communities in urban climate policy is developed, based on the power of shared values among diverse stakeholder groups to mobilize climate action through partnerships.

Technical summary
Global environmental research and policy frameworks have begun to emphasize the importance of culture and multi-sector partnerships for urban sustainability governance. However, there has been little explicit attention paid to religion and belief as ubiquitous urban socio-cultural phenomena. This article reviews literature on the intersection of religion and climate change in the context of cities. Religious responses to climate change are presented as a typology spanning physicalities, practices, ‘prophetic’ imagination and policy arenas. Key themes are then intersected with areas of focal activity presented in the most recent IPCC reports. Religion is shown to offer both opportunities and barriers for effective urban climate adaptation and mitigation. A new model of religious-civic partnership is then developed as a framework for guiding urban climate policy implementation. This model presents religion as vital to shaping the ‘value landscape’ of cities and calls for collaborative action based on identifying, enriching and mobilizing shared values. As cities become increasingly more populous, heterogeneous, globally teleconnected and exposed to climate impacts, there is an urgent need for research and policy that effectively engages with the historic and evolving presence and impact of religion within urban environments.

Social media summary
Effective action on climate change in cities requires new modes of engagement with religious perspectives, grounded in shared values.

Estimation of Denudation Parameters and River Capture Events From Neural Network Inverse Modeling of River Profiles and Thermo‐ and Geochronology Data
Authors: Bernard Thomas , Glotzbach Christoph , Peifer Daniel , Neely Alexander , Schaller Mirjam , Beer Alexander , Shi Yanqing , Ehlers Todd A. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractEarth's topography represents the cumulative effects of tectonics and surface processes modulated by climate and lithology. These factors shape landscapes through time. River profiles can be inverted to estimate the rock uplift histories or lithology‐specific erodibilities. However, river systems are dynamic and evolve in response to spatial and temporal internal dynamics, such as river capture events. Here, we present a modeling framework to infer denudation rates from the inversion of river profiles and thermo‐ and geochronology data. We achieve this by coupling a landscape evolution model and an efficient inverse modeling scheme to infer poorly resolved erosional and tectonic parameters. An application of the approach is presented for the Neckar catchment, southwest Germany, characterized by stark lateral variation in bedrock erodibility and rock uplift, and that have demonstrably undergone multiple river capture events. Different end‐member scenarios are explored in the simulations. First, we test uniform and spatial variability in rock uplift rate and bedrock erodibility, and second, temporal variations in rock uplift rate and base level. Finally, we simulate river capture events by adding upstream sections (drainage area) at specific times and locations within the fluvial network. We find that spatial variation in rock uplift rate is necessary to reproduce the Neckar's river profile while honoring analytical observations. Simulations integrating river captures allow improved river profile predictions of specific tributaries of the Neckar catchment, leading to potentially more realistic erodibility and rock uplift history estimates. The time and location of the capture events determined from the modeling agree with previous estimations from geological evidence.

Abstract

Background
Multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions for children with obesity in Denmark often include recommendations regarding physical activity, but no structured exercise program. We hypothesized that adding high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to a multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention would improve BMI z-score (primary outcome), waist circumference, blood pressure, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Methods
This randomized controlled trial included 173 children and adolescents with obesity. Participants were allocated to 12-months lifestyle intervention (N = 83), or 12-month lifestyle intervention accompanied by a 12-week HIIT program (N = 90). HIIT consisted of three weekly sessions and included activities eliciting intensities >85% of maximal heart rate.

Results
Attendance rate for the 3-months HIIT intervention was 68.0 ± 23.2%. Dropout was lower in HIIT compared to control at three months (7.8% vs. 20.5%) and 12 months (26.5% vs 48.2%). Changes in BMI z-score did not differ between HIIT and control at 3 months (Mean Difference (MD): 0.01, 95% confidence interval (CI): −0.09; 0.12, P = 0.82) or 12 months (MD: 0.06, CI: −0.07;0.19, P = 0.34). Across randomization, BMI z-score was reduced by 0.11 (CI: 0.17; 0.06, P < 0.01) at 3 months and 0.20 (CI: 0.26;0.14, P < 0.01) at 12 months. At 3 months, HIIT experienced a greater increase in HRQOL of 2.73 (CI: 0.01;5.44, P = 0.05) in PedsQL Child total-score and 3.85 (CI: 0.96; 6.74, P < 0.01) in psychosocial health-score compared to control. At 12 months, PedsQL Child physical-score was reduced by 6.89 (CI: 10.97; 2.83, P < 0.01) in HIIT compared to control. No group differences or changes over time were found for waist circumference or blood pressure.

Conclusion
Adding a 12-week HIIT program did not further augment the positive effects of a 12-month lifestyle intervention on BMI z-score. Adding HIIT improved HRQOL after 3 months, but reduced HRQOL at 12 months. Implementation of HIIT in community-based settings was feasible and showed positive effects on adherence to the lifestyle intervention.

AbstractExercise enhances synaptic plasticity and alleviates depression symptoms, but the mechanism through which exercise improves high-fat diet-induced depression remains unclear. In this study, 6-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were administered a high-fat diet (HFD, 60% kcal from fat) to a HFD model for 8 weeks. The RUN group also received 1 h of daily treadmill exercise in combination with the HFD. Depressive-like behaviors were evaluated by behavioral assessments for all groups. The key mediator of the effect of exercise on high-fat diet-induced depressive-like behaviors was detected by RNA-seq. The morphology and function of the neurons were evaluated via Nissl staining, Golgi staining, electron microscopy and electrophysiological experiments. The results showed that exercise attenuated high-fat diet-induced depressive-like behavior and reversed hippocampal gene expression changes. RNA-seq revealed Wnt5a, which was a key mediator of the effect of exercise on high-fat diet-induced depressive-like behaviors. Further work revealed that exercise significantly activated neuronal autophagy in the hippocampal CA1 region via the Wnt5a/CamkII signaling pathway, which enhanced synaptic plasticity to alleviate HFD-induced depressive-like behavior. However, the Wnt5a inhibitor Box5 suppressed the ameliorative effects of exercise. Therefore, this work highlights the critical role of Wnt5a, which is necessary for exercise to improve high-fat diet-induced depression.
Promising metal-free green heterogeneous catalyst for quinoline synthesis using Brønsted acid functionalized g-C3N4
Authors: Krishna Bandarupalli , Roy Sounak 
Published: October 2024

AbstractRationally designing distinct acidic and basic sites can greatly enhance performance and deepen our understanding of reaction mechanisms. In our current investigation, we studied the utilization of Brønsted acid sites within layered graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) for the first time to enhance the rate of the Friedländer synthesis. The structural and surface analyses confirm the effective integration of -COOH and -SO3H groups into the g-C3N4 lattice. The surface-functionalized g-C3N4-CO-(CH2)3-SO3H exhibits a remarkable acceleration in quinoline formation, surpassing previously mentioned catalysts, and demonstrating notable recyclability under optimized mild reaction conditions. The heightened reaction rate observed over g-C3N4-CO-(CH2)3-SO3H is attributed to its elevated surface acidity. By probing the Friedländer reaction mechanism through surface characterization, examination of reaction intermediates, and investigation of substrate scope, we elucidate the pivotal role of Brønsted acid sites. This study constitutes a comprehensive exploration of metal-free heterogeneous catalysts for the Friedländer reaction, offering a unique contribution to the field.
The earliest phases of CNO enrichment in galaxies

Published: October 2024

Context. The recent detection of super-solar carbon-to-oxygen and nitrogen-to-oxygen abundance ratios in a group of metal-poor galaxies at high redshift by the James Webb Space Telescope has sparked renewed interest in exploring the chemical evolution of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen (the CNO elements) at early times and prompted fresh inquiries into their origins.
Aims. The main goal of this paper is to shed light onto the early evolution of the main CNO isotopes in the Galaxy and in young distant systems, such as GN-z11 at ɀ = 10.6 and GS-zl2 at ɀ = 12.5.
Methods. To this aim, we incorporated a stochastic star formation component into a chemical evolution model calibrated with high-quality Milky Way (MW) data while focusing on the contribution of Population III (Pop III) stars to the early chemical enrichment.
Results. By comparing the model predictions with CNO abundance measurements from high-resolution spectroscopy of an homogeneous sample of Galactic halo stars, we first demonstrate that the scatter observed in the metallicity range −4.5 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ −1.5 can be explained by pre-enrichment from Pop III stars that explode as supernovae (SNe) with different initial masses and energies. Then, by exploiting the chemical evolution model, we provide testable predictions for log(C/N), log(N/O), and log(C/O) versus log(O/H)+12 in MW-like galaxies observed at different cosmic epochs (redshifts). Finally, by calibrating the chemical evolution model to replicate the observed properties of GN-z11 and GS-z12, we provide an alternative interpretation of their high N/O and C/O abundance ratios, demonstrating that an anomalously high N or C content can be reproduced through enrichment from faint Pop III SNe.
Conclusions. Stochastic chemical enrichment from primordial stars explains both the observed scatter in CNO abundances in MW halo stars and the exceptionally high C/O and N/O ratios in some distant galaxies. These findings emphasize the critical role of Pop III stars in shaping early chemical evolution.
Intersection of Community Violence and Prenatal Substance Exposure: A Spatiotemporal Analysis
Authors: Haricharan Ramanathapura , Thompson Stephanie , Annie Frank , Maduakonam Chisom 
Published: October 2024

Objectives Maternal substance use during pregnancy is a known risk factor for poor birth outcomes and lifelong health consequences. In addition, exposure to domestic and community violence can be associated with adverse birth outcomes. Due to limited research examining public health challenges linked to prenatal substance exposure (PSE)/neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) at the population level, we examined possible geographic and temporal intersections between (1) community violence and PSE/NAS, and (2) community gun violence and PSE/NAS.
Study Design We conducted a study using abstracted records of neonates born at a tertiary referral hospital from 2012 to 2019 having a diagnosis code for PSE/NAS (n = 1,523). Cases of community violence were identified using a hospital-based Trauma Registry during the 2012 to 2019 period (n = 1,580). We identified zones of spatial clustering and geographic overlap between community violence and PSE/NAS using emerging hot spot analysis.
Results Geographic and temporal clustering of PSE/NAS occurred. PSE/NAS had statistically significant zones of overlap with community assault cases (New Hot Spot 15 zones, Consecutive 5 zones, Sporadic Hot Spot 62 zones with a p < 0.01). PSE/NAS also clustered with community gun violence (New Hot Spot 11 zones, Consecutive Hot Spot 90 zones, Intensifying Hot Spot 13 zones, Sporadic Hot Spot 20 zones with a p < 0.01).
Conclusion Spatiotemporal overlap occurred between community violence and the adverse neonatal event of PSE/NAS. By allocating resources to identified geographic areas of increased risk, the health of vulnerable communities can be improved.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Objective We aimed to determine the trend, level, and predictors of glycemic control among adult type 2 diabetes on regular follow-up.
Material and Method A 12-year unmatched retrospective cohort study was conducted at Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran.
Statistical Analysis Descriptive statistics was computed for most variables, such as sociodemographic factors, medication-related factors, and disease-related factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the functional independent predictors of good glycemic control among type 2 diabetes.
Results A total of 297 patients with regular follow-up were included in this study. Patients' mean body mass index was 28.51 ± 4.61 kg/m2. The mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c %) was 7.4 ± 1.25%. One hundred thirteen (30%) patients achieved the glycemic control target (i.e., HbA1c < 7.0%). The mean systolic blood pressure level was 132.88 ± 16.23 mm Hg. The mean diastolic blood pressure level was 76.58 ± 9.2 mm Hg. The mean level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol was 79.23 ± 28.69 mg/dL. The highest trend of glycemic control was recorded in 2014 to 2015 (49.5%). Age less than 50 years, taking oral antidiabetic monotherapy, having blood pressure (BP) less than 140/90 mm Hg, and having LDL-cholesterol level < 70 mg/dL were independently associated with good glycemic control.
Conclusion Glycemic control levels among type 2 diabetes on regular follow-up were low. Young age was negatively associated with good glycemic control. Taking oral antidiabetic monotherapy, achieving BP, and meeting LDL-cholesterol targets were positively associated with good glycemic control. Therefore, addressing these factors can improve glycemic control and reduce associated complications.
Brazilian Portuguese wh-clefts in a multilevel analytic perspective
Authors: Andrade Aroldo , Antonio Juliano Desiderato 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a study on the distribution of wh-clefts – i.e. those having a nominal phrase
in the cleft constituent position – in a corpus of TV interviews spoken in Brazilian Portuguese. This language variety has three
types of wh-clefts, dubbed canonical, reversed and extraposed, which are analyzed in three levels: the
informational-structural level, regarding the types of focus patterns; the macro-discursive level, on how these constructions
distribute into topical-chain segments; and the micro-discursive level, with special attention to the rhetorical relations
connecting wh-clefts to their immediate contexts. Nevertheless, only the two first levels are crucial for
assessing their distribution. We put forward that the results may be explained by the features [unexpectedness] and [topicality],
distributed hierarchically, since the first one forces a contextual question to become explicit, as canonical
wh-clefts are considered to embed a semi-rhetorical question. The conclusion is that the notion of ‘prominence’
can connect the various results.
“Why does he appear so ordinary, but he can be so confident”
Authors: Wang Jiayu , Zhao Yaru 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Adopting proximization theory as its analytical framework, this article examines the feminist discourse of
controversial Chinese talk show performer Yang Li. Yang’s talk show is known for her incisive and sarcastically humorous remarks
on men, and her speeches have aroused widespread controversies. Our analysis finds that by positioning herself and other women as
the inside deictic-centers (IDCs) within her constructed discourse space, Yang tactically presents the spatial, temporal and
axiological proximization from the outside deictic-centers (ODCs) mainly composed of men. Yang’s version of the controversial
feminism has revealed gender inequality and conventional patriarchy in contemporary society; but the reliance on male- and
class-based gender stereotypes and the imagery projected from past incidents to create gendered or even men-hating discourses has
begot controversies and backlashes. This study also discusses how Yang’s controversial feminist discursive patterns are influenced
by the platformization of daily life, and the commodification and entertainmentization of gender issues against the backdrop of
contemporary Chinese society where neoliberalism, market, capital and convention coexist.
You have no right!
Authors: King Jeremy 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The present study seeks to reconsider popular assumptions regarding the dynamics of power in interpersonal
interactions in light of data from an historical North American speech community. Specifically, I examine directive and commissive
speech act formulations in colonial Spanish Louisiana data, both in terms of the level of directness employed in their head acts
as well as the degree of tentativeness which accompanies them. The corpus for the study consists of 200 institutional letters
composed in two settlements of the Louisiana territory between 1778 and 1802. Study findings reveal that speakers in Spanish
Louisiana showed a clear preference for directly formulated speech acts, but that the level of tentativeness used in this period
was highly dependent on the relative power of the speaker in the interaction. The results thus call into question traditional
notions of the ‘rights’ speakers possess to issue certain types of speech acts.
Language mediation training and the foreign‑language effect in moral
decision‑making*
Authors: García Álvaro Marín 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Moral cognition is an emerging field investigating the cognitive
underpinnings of moral judgement and moral decision-making. Of particular
interest for Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies (CTIS) is the impact
of the use of a foreign language on the cognitive processes associated with
moral decision making, what has been labeled “Foreign Language Effect” (FLE).
Using a second language has been reported to reduce decision-making biases,
doing away with framing effects in risk aversion settings. At the same time,
moral dilemmas posed in a second language prompt more utilitarian responses than
when presented in the subjects’ native tongues. These results beg the following
question for the CTIS scholar: does language mediation training mitigate the
FLE? This paper reports on an exploratory study investigating the impact of
language mediation training on the FLE. Drawing from Costa et al. (2014), 1st and 4th year, bilingual
students in a Translation and Interpreting degree are presented with the trolley
dilemma both in their L1, L2, and L3. Initial results seem to indicate that
language mediation training might have an impact on the FLE. However, the
limitations of the study suggest the need for further exploration of the
intersection between language mediation training and the FLE.
