Marine eukaryote bioluminescence: a review of species and their functional biology
Authors: Duchatelet Laurent , Dupont Sam 
Published: September 2024

AbstractBioluminescence, the ability of organisms to produce visible light, has intrigued scientists for centuries. Studies have examined bioluminescence, using a wide range of approaches and organisms, from its ecological role to its underlying molecular mechanisms, leading to various applications and even a Nobel prize. Over the last ten years, an increasing amount of data has been collected leading to a growing number of recognized marine bioluminescent species. This review provides and describes a referenced listing of the eukaryotic luminous marine species, including information related to: (i) intrinsic versus extrinsic source of the bioluminescence, (ii) the color and maximum wavelength of emission, (iii) the bioluminescent system (substrate and enzyme) and the associated molecules, (iv) the availability of light organ/cell(s) pattern and histological structure, (v) the physiological control of the light production, and (vi) the demonstrated or suggested bioluminescent function(s). This listing provides basic information and references for researchers in or entering in the field of marine bioluminescence. Using a semi-quantitative approach, we then highlight major research gaps and opportunities and reflect on the future of the field.
Power of economics without power in economics?
Authors: Rath Johanna , Hornykewycz Anna , Burnazoglu Merve 
Published: September 2024

AbstractPower relations dominate most social and economic processes. Despite its significance, however, the concept of structural power relations is often neglected in standard economics. Standard economics often confines itself to dissecting an idealised, abstract world, wherein power dynamics are abstracted from and seen as somewhat outside the economic realm. But, can economics be powerful in understanding, explaining and, ideally, tackling the multiple crises of our time without embedding the concept of power in its analysis? We suggest that the lack of consideration or insufficient engagement with power-related aspects in mostly standard approaches has far-reaching implications, as policies that neglect underlying power relations are not fit to address the crisis. This collection reopens the discussion of power in economics. Building on the talks and discussions at the 2023 EAEPE Pre-Conference that was held in Leeds, UK, this collection provides scholars an outlet to shed light on power structures within their field of research to highlight the complexity and interrelation of power and economics. We also conduct a literature analysis to identify different forms and categories of power used in the mainstream and heterodox economics literature with a particular focus on the different definitions and interpretations of the concept. We get our sample from the Web of Science (WoS) category ‘Economics’ in the WoS SSCI database, from 2010 to 2024. This approach provides a roadmap to better understand the different interpretations, definitions and conceptualisations of power within current literature.
Navigating affective and sensory fluidity in plurilingual and intercultural pedagogies in English language and literacy classrooms
Authors: Nigar Nashid , Kostogriz Alex 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis article examines the transformation of Australian EAL/D (English as an additional language/dialect) classrooms, transitioning from a monolingual focus on Standard Australian English (SAE) to embracing plurilingual and intercultural approaches in English language and literacy teaching and learning. Employing hermeneutic phenomenological and narrative analyses, the study reflects on the lived experiences of 16 English teachers who learned English as an additional language and migrated to Australia. The research highlights the significance of fluid affective processes, cultural responsiveness, plurilingualism, and intercultural identity development in language and literacy classrooms. Findings emphasise the central role of affect in EAL teaching and its implications for cultural responsiveness and linguistic diversity. The lived experiences of these teachers underscore the transformative potential of diverse teaching strategies that resonate with students on affective and cultural levels. Implications include fostering plurilingual literacy and identity development, promoting global identity, and cultivating intercultural capabilities among learners and educators. Ultimately, the article highlights the paradigm-shifting power of English language and literacy education when enriched with empathy, creativity, and a commitment to linguistic and cultural diversity. This approach not only enhances EAL/D education but also offers valuable insights and implications for other areas of the curriculum and pedagogical practices, promoting a more inclusive and responsive educational environment across disciplines.
Party building in non-state sectors: a comparative study of China and Vietnam
Authors: Xiao Bin , Vu Quynh Phuong 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWith the advancement of the reform and opening up, the non-state Sectors (NSS) in China and Vietnam have developed rapidly. The ruling parties, which used to have comprehensive control over politics, economy, and society, have now found it difficult to control the new economic space. To effectively control NSS, the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of Vietnam have attempted to embed themselves in NSS by expanding grassroots party organizations. In this process, they have adopted different strategies and procedures, resulting in two distinct models: China’s expansion model, which is characterized by a proactive approach combining rigidity and flexibility, and Vietnam's expansion model, which is characterized by a flexible approach with a focus on soft cooperation. This study compares the formation, nature, and main characteristics of the two models for party organization expansion in China and Vietnam, hoping to provide a more comprehensive and objective understanding of the developments in China and Vietnam, preliminarily elucidate, from an academic perspective, the operational model of party-building in NSS in the two countries, and enrich the theoretical research on the continuous expansion of the existing Leninist parties in the new era.
A novel stochastic matheuristic approach for the dynamic utilisation of arrival route structures: modelling of Istanbul Airport point merge system
Authors: Dönmez K. , Tükenmez İ. , Cecen R.K. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractCongested airports benefit from parallel-point merge systems (P-PMSs) for efficient arrival route control. However, the decline in air traffic due to COVID-19 has curtailed its optimal utilisation, especially with the reduced need for long sequencing legs. As air traffic is poised to rebound, the evident volatility seen during and post COVID-19, as well as the daily fluctuations between peak and off-peak hours, underscore the importance of the dynamic utilisation of sequencing legs in P-PMSs. EUROCONTROL proposes various leg configurations to manage fluctuating traffics, ensuring both efficiency and safety. First, we proposed two additional leg configurations for the Istanbul Airport, offering continuous descent with the engines operating at idle thrust during leg flights; partially overlapped and fully dissociated. While they offer an alternative for controllers during low to medium traffic scenarios, current long and fully overlapped parallel legs may be used in high traffic due to the volatility of traffic density throughout a day. Therefore, we suggest an approach that provides dynamic utilisation of these configurations. We first modeled and analysed the configurations for various traffic numbers and scenarios. Then, we introduced a new stochastic matheuristic model that considers the configuration changes throughout the day and provides feasible and robust sequences applicable to all configurations by combining the benefits of mathematical models with the adaptability and speed of heuristic methods. Several test problems were evaluated using the terminal manoeuvering area structure of Istanbul Airport as a case study. The results indicate that by changing configurations, an average of 35 kg in fuel savings per aircraft can be achieved. The results also show that the proposed approach outperforms traditional stochastic mathematical models and the first-come first-serve (FCFS) strategy, ensuring efficient air traffic management in terms of fuel and delay with robust sequencing by eliminating the need for re-sequencing during configuration changes.

Abstract

Background:
The incubation period for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is generally considered to be less than 1 week, but some recent studies suggest that prolonged carriage prior to disease onset may be common.

Objective:
To estimate the incubation period for patients developing CDI after initial negative cultures.

Methods:
In 3 tertiary care medical centers, we conducted a cohort study to identify hospitalized patients and long-term care facility residents with negative initial cultures for C. difficile followed by a diagnosis of CDI with or without prior detection of carriage. Cases were classified as healthcare facility-onset, community-onset, healthcare facility-associated, or community-associated and were further classified as probable, possible, or unlikely CDI. A parametric accelerated failure time model was used to estimate the distribution of the incubation period.

Results:
Of 4,179 patients with negative enrollment cultures and no prior CDI diagnosis within 56 days, 107 (2.6%) were diagnosed as having CDI, including 19 (17.8%) with and 88 (82.2%) without prior detection of carriage. When the data were censored to only include participants with negative cultures collected within 14 days, the estimated median incubation period was 6 days with 25% and 75% of estimated incubation periods occurring within 3 and 12 days, respectively. The observed estimated incubation period did not differ significantly for patients classified as probable, possible, or unlikely CDI.

Conclusion:
Our findings are consistent with the previous studies that suggested the incubation period for CDI is typically less than 1 week and is less than 2 weeks in most cases.
The art of interconnections: Achieving maximum algebraic connectivity in multilayer networks
Authors: Tavasoli Ali , Shakeri Heman , Ardjmand Ehsan , Rahman Shakil 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix, known as algebraic connectivity, determines many network properties. This paper investigates the optimal design of interconnections that maximizes algebraic connectivity in multilayer networks. We identify an upper bound for maximum algebraic connectivity for total weight below a threshold, independent of interconnections pattern, and only attainable with a particular regularity condition. For efficient numerical approaches in regions of no analytical solution, we cast the problem into a convex framework and an equivalent graph embedding problem associated with the optimum diffusion phases in the multilayer. Allowing more general settings for interconnections entails regions of multiple transitions, giving more diverse diffusion phases than the more studied one-toone interconnection case. When there is no restriction on the interconnection pattern, we derive several analytical results characterizing the optimal weights using individual Fiedler vectors. We use the ratio of algebraic connectivity and layer sizes to explain the results. Finally, we study the placement of a limited number of interlinks heuristically, guided by each layer’s Fiedler vector components.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Multidisciplinary One Health (OH) collaboration coupled with information communication and technology provides an avenue for combating and avoiding emerging and reemerging diseases. In 2020, AFROHUN-Kenya organized a OH App development hackathon to build an application for frontline community health workers to respond to OH challenges. This article describes the purpose, process, benefits and challenges of this hackathon. Forty-nine participants, divided into eight groups took part in the hackathon. The teams ranged from four to eight members, with 55% female. A total of eight applications were developed during the hackathon all of which are in the process of patenting, before deployment as open-source applications. In the post-hackathon survey, 95% of participants indicated that they had a better grasp of the topic because of the team members’ diverse perspectives and that working in multidisciplinary teams had resulted in new friendships and partnerships. In total, 72% of respondents indicated they would be interested in participating in another hackathon. However, 65% of the respondents suggested that the training time be lengthened. This study demonstrates that multidisciplinary hackathons effectively enhance learning, significantly impact communities and improve students’ soft skills, including project and time management, interpersonal communication, motivational strategies and problem-solving.
Garnet chemical zoning: a clue for the tectono-metamorphic history of the Proterozoic Mayombe chain (West Congo Belt), Congo-Brazzaville

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The Mayombe chain of Congo is part of the West Congo Belt, which belonged to the western Gondwana supercontinent. It consists of Paleoproterozoic gneisses and schists that are tectonically stacked and overthrust Neoproterozoic low-grade metamorphic rocks. Although Neoproterozoic context of the chain is relatively well established, the tectono-metamorphic evolution of its Paleoproterozoic basement still under discussion.
Petrography, garnet chemistry and phase equilibria modelling were used to constrain tectono-metamorphic evolution of meta-plutonic and meta-sedimentary rocks from the Western Domain of the Mayombe chain. Microprobe analysis reveals three garnet types: (i) 2-stage garnets with distinct cores (Grt1) and rims (Grt2), (ii) unzoned garnet showing narrow diffusion zones along cracks and rims and (iii) syn-kinematic garnet with normal growth zoning. These complex and simple features of garnet growth are, respectively, related to a polycyclic evolution linked in this area to: (i) the superposition of Eburnean (c. 2000 Ma) and Pan-African (c. 600 Ma) orogenies and (ii) a monocyclic evolution related to a single Pan-African event taking into account ages of the protoliths. The oldest metamorphic assemblage (Eburnean) is preserved in amphibolite facies conditions marked by the first generation of garnet, whereas the younger (Pan-African) event varies from amphibolite facies in the southwest (4–6 kbar, 550°C–600°C) to greenschist facies in the northeast (4–6 kbar at 450°C–550°C) confirming the westward increase in metamorphic grade during the Pan-African event. Mineral equilibria modelling shows also a relatively HP episode culminated at 11.5–12.5 kbar and 525°C–550°C which tectonic environment stills less understood.
Tunnels of power: The cultural politics of the Beijing subway
Authors: Li Cheng , Liu Yanjun 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis article investigates the cultural politics of the Beijing subway. Drawing on diverse sources, we trace the evolution of the subway over the last half-century to reveal that it transcends its fluctuating, time-specific practicalities to serve as a potent conduit through which the Chinese state consistently shapes subjecthood. The article begins with the subway’s Cold War inception as a military enterprise, spotlighting its deliberate concealment to safeguard the echelons of power and obscure both international and domestic tensions. The second section delves into the subway’s rebirth in the wake of China’s opening-up reform and rapid economic rise, as it transforms into a mobile gallery of political aesthetics that extols China’s cultural heritage and triumphs, cultivating national pride under siege from unleashed market and social forces. The final section dissects the subway’s orchestration of undesirable passengers, sculpting a socioeconomic hierarchy in the city’s commuting system. As a multifaceted prism, the Beijing subway encapsulates a range of covert and overt, pragmatic and aesthetic, and inclusive and exclusive elements in the cultural politics of Chinese infrastructure at large; and it illustrates the sustained centrality of state power in shaping individual subjectivities and defining the cultural and representational significance of Chinese infrastructure, albeit amid growing contestation.
The development of morphological awareness and vocabulary: What influences what?
Authors: Grande Germán , Diamanti Vassiliki , Protopapas Athanassios , Melby-Lervåg Monica , Lervåg Arne 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe awareness of words’ morphological structure has been thought to allow generalizing meaning to other, similarly constructed words. Conversely, a large vocabulary is thought to facilitate the recognition of words’ morphological regularities, thereby contributing to morphological awareness. For this reason, morphological awareness and vocabulary have been suggested to be reciprocally associated across development. We followed 242 (girls = 119) Norwegian preschoolers (Mage = 5.5 years) from preschool through Grade 2 and examined the cross-lagged relations between morphological awareness (inflections and derivations) and vocabulary (receptive and expressive). Our results confirm that the traditional cross-lagged panel model shows significant cross-lagged relations between morphological awareness and vocabulary, as previous studies have shown. However, no cross-lagged relations were found when we accounted for longitudinal measured stability through a cross-lagged panel model with lag-2 paths or unmeasured stability through the random intercept cross-lagged panel model. We found that approximately 50% of the variation in morphology and vocabulary was due to highly stable and invariant factors across grades. We discuss how the significant cross-lagged relations found in previous studies could have been due to their not accounting for the right type of stability when using longitudinal panel data.
Association between dietary intake of carotenoids and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease in US adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017–March 2020
Authors: Yu Jiahui , Guo Peisen 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objective:
To assess the relationship between dietary intake of α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene and lutein+zeaxanthin (LZ) and occurrence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).

Design:
Cross-sectional study design. The MAFLD diagnosis was based on hepatic steatosis and metabolic dysregulation. Carotenoid intake was adjusted for using an energy-adjusted model. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were used to assess the relationships, with sensitivity analysis to validate the findings. Weighted quantile sum regression (WQS) was used to explore the combined effect of these carotenoids on MAFLD. Subgroup analyses were conducted to identify population-specific associations.

Setting:
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017–March 2020.

Participants:
This study included 5098 individuals aged 18 years and older.

Results:
After adjusting for potential confounders, a weak inverse association was observed between α-carotene and β-carotene intakes and MAFLD occurrence (all P value <0·05). The highest quartile of β-carotene intake showed a significantly lower occurrence of MAFLD compared with the lowest quartile (OR = 0·65; 95 % CI: 0·44, 0·97). RCS analysis showed that a significantly lower occurrence of MAFLD was associated with a higher intake of the four carotenoids, excluding lycopene. Furthermore, the WQS analysis revealed a negative relationship between combined carotenoid intake and MAFLD occurrence (OR = 0·95, 95 % CI: 0·90, 1·00, P = 0·037). Subgroup analyses showed dietary carotenoid intake was associated with reduced MAFLD occurrence in populations aged 50–69 years, females, physically active individuals and non-drinkers.

Conclusion:
Higher dietary intake of carotenoids is associated with lower MAFLD occurrence. However, this relationship varies among individuals of different ages, sexes and lifestyles.
The inefficient effects of non-clinical factors on health care costs
Authors: McFarland Shawn , Miller Jonathan 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWe use Benford's law to examine the non-random elements of health care costs. We find that as health care expenditures increase, the conformity to the expected distribution of naturally occurring numbers worsens, indicating a tendency towards inefficient treatment. Government insurers follow Benford's law better than private insurers indicating more efficient treatment. Surprisingly, self-insured patients suffer the most from non-clinical cost factors. We suggest that cost saving efforts to reduce non-clinical expenses should be focused on more severe, costly encounters. Doing so focuses cost reduction efforts on less than 10% of encounters that constitute over 70% of dollars spent on health care treatment.
Generalized Time‐Series Analysis for In Situ Spacecraft Observations: Anomaly Detection and Data Prioritization Using Principal Components Analysis and Unsupervised Clustering

Published: September 2024

AbstractIn situ spacecraft observations are critical to our study and understanding of the various phenomena that couple mass, momentum, and energy throughout near‐Earth space and beyond. However, on‐orbit telemetry constraints can severely limit the capability of spacecraft to transmit high‐cadence data, and missions are often only able to telemeter a small percentage of their captured data at full rate. This presents a programmatic need to prioritize intervals with the highest probability of enabling the mission's science goals. Larger missions such as the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission (MMS) aim to solve this problem with a Scientist‐In‐The‐Loop (SITL), where a domain expert flags intervals of time with potentially interesting data for high‐cadence data downlink and subsequent study. Although suitable for some missions, the SITL solution is not always feasible, especially for low‐cost missions such as CubeSats and NanoSats. This manuscript presents a generalizable method for the detection of anomalous data points in spacecraft observations, enabling rapid data prioritization without substantial computational overhead or the need for additional infrastructure on the ground. Specifically, Principal Components Analysis and One‐Class Support Vector Machines are used to generate an alternative representation of the data and provide an indication, for each point, of the data's potential for scientific utility. The technique's performance and generalizability is demonstrated through application to intervals of observations, including magnetic field data and plasma moments, from the CASSIOPE e‐POP/Swarm‐Echo and MMS missions.
