Published: October 2024

Background
HPTN 084 compared the safety and efficacy of long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB) to daily oral TDF/FTC for prevention of HIV-1 in uninfected African women. Like a similar trial in MSM/TGW (HPTN 083), the trial was stopped early for efficacy, expediting the need to consider introduction strategies for different populations. We examine survey and qualitative data from a four-country sub-study to examine oral and injectable PrEP acceptability and considerations for CAB access among African women.

Methods
Participants completed baseline and follow-up surveys on HIV risk perception, sexual behavior. product acceptability and adherence during the blinded trial. Additionally, up to two in-depth interviews each with 73 sub-study participants explored product use and trial-related experiences, during the blinded and unblinded study periods. Using survey data, we classified participants as: engaged in female sex work (FSW), having multiple non-transactional partners, or monogamous. A study statistician identified participants’ assigned study arm. We followed a thematic analysis process to read transcripts, develop a codebook and apply codes in NVivo to transcripts with intermittent intercoder reliability checks; using Excel matrices to explore differences across risk categories and study arms.

Findings
Participants overwhelmingly preferred injections to pills, appreciating the ease, convenience, and privacy of a long-acting formulation. Many participants described challenges with contraceptive and/or study pill adherence, impeded by late night work, unexpected travel, or heavy drinking. Women in the TDF/FTC arm were more likely to describe side effects, compared to those in the CAB arm. Pain also varied widely by study arm. When considering post-trial access to CAB, limited PrEP knowledge, cost and concerns around stigma and poor service quality were potential access barriers.

Conclusion
Women’s desire for privacy and ease of use outweighed injectable concerns, resulting in a strong preference for CAB. Cost and accessibility will need to be addressed by implementation programs.
Compact locally homogeneous manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor
Authors: Derdzinski Andrzej , Terek Ivo 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We construct new examples of compact ECS manifolds, that is, of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor that are neither conformally flat nor locally symmetric. Every ECS manifold has rank 1 or 2, the rank being the dimension of a distinguished null parallel distribution discovered by Olszak. Previously known examples of compact ECS manifolds, in every dimension greater than 4, were all of rank 1, geodesically complete, and none of them was locally homogeneous. In contrast, our new examples — all of them geodesically incomplete — realize all odd dimensions starting from 5 and are of rank 2, as well as locally homogeneous.
Local quasi-isometries and tangent cones of definable germs
Authors: Nguyen Nhan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the notion of local quasi-isometry for metric germs and prove that two definable germs are quasi-isometric if and only if their tangent cones are bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic. Since bi-Lipschitz equivalence is a particular case of local quasi-isometric equivalence, we obtain Sampaio’s tangent cone theorem as a corollary. As an application, we provide a different proof of the theorem by Fernandes-Sampaio, which states that the tangent cone of a Lipschitz normally embedded germ is also Lipschitz normally embedded.
Arithmetic counts of tropical plane curves and their properties
Authors: Puentes Andrés Jaramillo , Markwig Hannah , Pauli Sabrina , Röhrle Felix 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Recently, the first and third author proved a correspondence theorem which recovers the Levine- Welschinger invariants of toric del Pezzo surfaces as a count of tropical curves weighted with arithmetic multiplicities. In this paper, we study properties of the arithmetic count ofplane tropical curves satisfying point conditions. We prove that this count is independent of the configuration of point conditions. Moreover, a Caporaso- Harris formula for the arithmetic count of plane tropical curves is obtained by moving one point to the very left. Repeating this process until all point conditions are stretched, we obtain an enriched count of floor diagrams which coincides with the tropical count. Finally, we prove polynomiality properties for the arithmetic counts using floor diagrams.
An overview of technological challenges in implementing the digital product passport in the textile and clothing industry
Authors: Domskienė Jurgita , Gaidule Eliza 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The textile and clothing industry is undergoing a shift towards a circular business model, driven by new European Commission regulations, which mandates that by 2030, textile products available on the European Union (EU) market must be recyclable and sustainable. To facilitate data collection, storage, and sharing throughout the entire product lifecycle and ensure product traceability and sustainability, the use of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) will be required. This article presents an analysis of the most commonly known digital data technologies from the perspective of their use in digital garment labelling, describing their advantages and limitations. The analysis is complemented by practical insights gathered from semi-structured interviews with garment producers in the Baltic Sea region. The survey revealed that producers prioritise sustainability and are prepared to digitise product information but are awaiting EU’s clear guidance. Despite the challenges posed by DPP implementation from the global, producer, and customer perspectives, upcoming regulations are seen as providing new competitive opportunities for products and services. Both the technology analysis and the expert survey indicate that QR (quick response)-based smart tags are potentially the most straightforward solution for the initial phase of DPP implementation.
The role of merchants in language standardisation
Authors: Brown Joshua , Auer Anita 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This issue of the Journal of Historical Sociolinguistics aims to contribute to our understanding of the role of merchants in language standardisation by focussing on how merchants can be seen as agents of linguistic change across various European vernaculars at various points in time. By analysing data from a varied set of languages, including Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, and Dutch, the authors provide insight into merchant writing in relation to language standardisation from different perspectives and at different times. The extant material available from merchants, their role as intermediaries in the commercial world, their functional and variable literacy, and their social and geographical mobility, all mean that merchant writing is able to offer unique insights into the vicissitudes of language history.
Psychological flexibility and celiac disease in adolescents: Understanding adherence and well-being for enhanced care. A rapid narrative review
Authors: Bozas Antonios , Fotoulaki Maria 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background
Psychological flexibility (PF) has been approached as a mediator between health conditions and outcomes by promoting positive responses and healthier behavior repertoires.

Purpose
This rapid narrative review examines studies exploring the role of PF in influencing celiac disease outcomes among adolescents, with a particular focus on adherence to dietary management practices.

Method
Online databases were searched for studies exploring possible connections between PF, celiac manifestation, and management presented by adolescents. Selected articles have entered the analysis to highlight whether PF mediates or affects celiac-related outcomes in adolescents.

Conclusions
Adolescents demonstrate a greater capacity to organize their daily routines effectively while adhering to gluten-free diets. However, the emphasis on PF can significantly impact their social interactions. Although there is much research to be conducted on this possible connection, there are still primary assumptions that support the idea that PF can also be a factor in helping adolescents with celiac disease navigate the challenges of their illness and maintain a quality of life. Healthcare professionals can find value in incorporating elements from supporting therapies, health literacy programs, and health promotion strategies. Furthermore, insights from the review suggest the importance of standardizing interventions and measurements including counseling practices at the primary care level.

Abstract
In order to solve the problems of depleting petroleum asphalt resources and deteriorating pollution of marine products, a systematic study was carried out on the application prospect of waste crab shell (WS) powder as asphalt modifier. In this study, the physical properties of WS powder modified asphalt (WSA) were tested by blending different contents of WS powder into matrix asphalt; the high and low temperature rheological properties of WS powder modified asphalt were characterized by using Dynamic shear rheometer, Bending beam rheometer, and Multiple stress creep recovery test. In addition, the microscopic chemical properties and modification mechanism were analyzed by Differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Atomic force microscopy, and Scanning electron microscope. It was shown that the WS powder enhanced the viscoelastic properties, temperature sensitivity properties, and permanent deformation resistance of asphalt. In addition, there was no obvious chemical reaction between the WS powder and the matrix asphalt, and no new chemical substances were generated; at the microscopic level, the WS powder and the matrix asphalt had good compatibility. In conclusion, the use of WS powder as a bio-based asphalt modifier to improve the resources and environmental issues have certain prospects.

Mehranlagenbedienung durch mehr Automatisierung?
Authors: Rave Alexander , Fontaine Pirmin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Automation of manual activities in manufacturing can enable personnel to operate multiple machines. This enables companies to maintain production capacities despite increasing staff shortages. However, certain activities on the machines (e. g. eliminating errors) are highly stochastic, meaning that the effects of increased machine operation through automation on production output cannot be easily estimated. Based on a case study in industrial manufacturing, this article illustrates the production process using a digital twin. The article shows the necessity of the digital twin and derives general recommendations for action.

Abstract
These often use computer-controlled machines like 3D printers and CNC machines. The accessibility of these technologies is increasing, even for non-experts. This leads to widespread use and democratisation of manufacturing technologies, which can support distributed urban production. We present recent developments of an AI-supported laser cutter based on Open Source Hardware (OSH). Our approach integrates machine learning methods, including diffusion-based image generation and Large Language Models. This enables seamless integration of CAD-CAM systems. By combining hands-on learning with OSH machines and digital tools, we ensure a better understanding of the manufacturing workflow. We demonstrate the capability, accessibility, and potential of our approach using OSH machines. This can significantly influence future developments in digital fabrication.

Two Interpretations of Nietzschean Concept of Nature: C. Alamariu and V. Lemm
Authors: Andrijauskas Jokūbas 
Published: October 2024

Nietzsche criticises religious interpretations of nature (Natur) and advocates the ‘naturalisation of humanity’. The various usages of the term ‘nature’ (Natur) have no clear, systematic definition in Nietzsche’s works, which is why the interpretations of this concept in Nietzsche’s studies are controversial. Two opposing perspectives emerge: Vanessa Lemm interprets nature as a Dionysian chaos which promotes an emancipatory rejection of the prevailing ideas, while Costin Alamariu sees it as an aristocratic phusis that fosters higher human types. This article argues that these seemingly contradictory views are compatible. Nietzsche uses the concept of nature as chaos to criticize anthropocentric views, while presenting the possibility of an understanding of nature detached from the human perspective. This paper analyses and criticizes Lemm’s illustration of this concept through sex differences. Finally, it is argued that Alamariu’s interpretation is in line with Nietzsche’s later positive ethico-political aspirations, often ignored in Nietzschean scholarship, concerning the development of higher human types.
Misunderstandings and Difficulties in Making Sense of the Action
Authors: Rivero-Obra Mercedes 
Published: October 2024

Traditionally, intelligibility is associated with rationality. It is also associated with the meaning and understanding of the agent’s actions when interacting in a context. What is proposed in this work is an analysis – at the moment in which the agent is interacting – of what happens when intelligibility and meaning are decoupled. It causes a person’s actions to be misunderstood or misinterpreted by others. It is even possible that the same person will not understand, later, why she has acted the way she has. The explanation proposed is that this link is broken when the action process, made up of the three stages of action, is not developed correctly. This results in misunderstandings that, because they are directly related to the action, I have called misunderstandings within agency. The analysis of this kind of misunderstanding could be essential to understanding the conflicts that arise in the communicative act and mutual understanding.

Neutralizing the threat: harnessing broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1 for treatment and prevention
Authors: Becerra Juan C , Hitchcock Lauren , Vu Khoa , Gach Johannes S 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) targeting the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) have played a crucial role in elucidating and characterizing neutralization-sensitive sites on the HIV-1 envelope spike and in informing vaccine development. Continual advancements in identifying more potent bnAbs, along with their capacity to trigger antibody-mediated effector functions, coupled with modifications to extend their half-life, position them as promising candidates for both HIV-1 treatment and prevention. While current pharmacological interventions have made significant progress in managing HIV-1 infection and enhancing quality of life, no definitive cure or vaccines have been developed thus far. Standard treatments involve daily oral anti-retroviral therapy, which, despite its efficacy, can lead to notable long-term side effects. Recent clinical trial data have demonstrated encouraging therapeutic and preventive potential for bnAb therapies in both HIV-1-infected individuals and those without the infection. This review provides an overview of the advancements in HIV-1-specific bnAbs and discusses the insights gathered from recent clinical trials regarding their application in treating and preventing HIV-1 infection.
Pathogenic Escherichia coli change the adhesion between neutrophils and endotheliocytes in the experimental bacteremia model
Authors: Pleskova Svetlana N , Bezrukov Nikolay A , Bobyk Sergey Z , Gorshkova Ekaterina N , Novikov Dmitri V 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Septicemia caused by gram-negative bacteria is characterized by high death rate due to the endotoxin release. Since the septicemia depends not only on biochemical aspects of interactions in the system bloodstream, the study of mechanical interactions is also important. Using a model of experimental septicemia caused by E. coli, a hyperproduction of integrins CD11a and CD11b by neutrophils was shown, but this did not lead to the establishment of strong adhesion contacts between endothelial cells and neutrophils. On the contrary, adhesion force and work, as assessed by FS spectroscopy, were statistically significantly reduced in the presence of bacteria. It has also been shown that exposure to the pathogenic strain E. coli 321 increases the stiffness of the membrane-cytoskeleton complex of endothelial cells and bacteria significantly change their morphology on long-term observation. At the same time, we observed the death of neutrophils by apoptosis. Thus, it was shown that besides lipopolysaccharide release there are other pathogenic factors of E. coli: decrease in the interaction between neutrophil and endothelial cell caused by an increase of the endothelial cell rigidity and apoptotic death of neutrophils probably as a result of adhesins and exotoxin effects. Obtained results should be taken in mind during the therapy of septicemia.
