Grotesque and Performance in the Art of Aubrey Beardsley
Authors: Stead Evanghelia 
Published: October 2024

“If I am not grotesque, I am nothing.”
This insightful study illuminates previously unexplored aspects of Aubrey Beardsley’s relationship to the grotesque and his use of media, particularly his manipulation of the periodical press. For the first time and with keen intelligence, Evanghelia Stead fully reveals the aesthetic importance of Beardsley’s Bon-Mots vignettes, as well as the relationship between Darwinism, his innovative foetus motif, and Decadence itself.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, the book calls on histories of culture and aesthetics to show how the artist reworked traditional imagery and manipulated it beyond recognition—revealing for instance the influence of cathedral grotesques on Beardsley’s own grotesque performances. Stead also demonstrates his major impact on Italian, French, American and German creative minds through the periodical press.
Rich in original thought and detailed, comparative analysis, this book is an invigorating and enlightening read for scholars of Aubrey Beardsley, as well as for anyone interested in nineteenth-century visual culture, art history, art criticism, print culture, illustration, grotesque iconography, and cultural history.
Multidecadal Sea Level Prediction Using Neural Networks and Spectral Clustering on Climate Model Large Ensembles and Satellite Altimeter Data

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Sea surface height observations provided by satellite altimetry since 1993 show a rising rate (3.4 mm yr−1) for global mean sea level. While on average, sea level has risen 10 cm over the last 30 years, there is considerable regional variation in the sea level change. Through this work, we predict sea level trends 30 years into the future at a 2° spatial resolution and investigate the future patterns of the sea level change. We show the potential of machine learning (ML) in this challenging application of long-term sea level forecasting over the global ocean. Our approach incorporates sea level data from both altimeter observations and climate model simulations. We develop a supervised learning framework using fully connected neural networks (FCNNs) that can predict the sea level trend based on climate model projections. Alongside this, our method provides uncertainty estimates associated with the ML prediction. We also show the effectiveness of partitioning our spatial dataset and learning a dedicated ML model for each segmented region. We compare two partitioning strategies: one achieved using domain knowledge and the other employing spectral clustering. Our results demonstrate that segmenting the spatial dataset with spectral clustering improves the ML predictions.

Significance Statement
Long-term projections are needed to help coastal communities adapt to sea level rise. Forecasting multidecadal sea level change is a complex problem. In this paper, we show the promise of machine learning in producing such forecasts 30 years in advance and over the global ocean. Continued improvements in prediction skills that build on this work will be vital in sea level rise adaptation efforts.

Published: October 2024

ObjectiveAntipsychotic prescribing practices in people with intellectual disabilities (ID) have sparked growing concerns about appropriateness and potential risks. The connection between living situations and antipsychotic prescribing practices in this population is a crucial but underexplored area. This study aims to investigate the association between living situation and antipsychotic prescriptions among people with ID.MethodsThis retrospective chart review included 112 adults with ID who received care from 2019 to 2021. The investigation examined participants' living situations and assessed antipsychotic prescription rates, antipsychotic class, the presence of a corresponding mental health diagnoses, and polypharmacy. Statistical analyses included univariate and multivariate tests to assess the relationship between living situations and antipsychotic prescriptions, controlling for relevant covariates.ResultsUnivariate analysis revealed a significant association between living situation and antipsychotic prescriptions (p < 0.05), with patients in non‐familial support homes and group homes more likely to receive antipsychotics. However, multivariate analysis did not confirm this association after adjusting for other variables. Male gender (OR = 4.207, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.721–10.286) and total medication count (OR = 1.101, 95% CI 1.038–1.169) emerged as significant predictors of antipsychotic prescriptions.ConclusionsThese findings highlight the complexity of antipsychotic prescribing practices among people with ID. While living situation initially appeared to influence prescription patterns, multivariate analysis suggests the importance of considering other factors. Gender and medication count emerge as significant predictors, underscoring the need for tailored interventions and closer monitoring in this population.
Utilizing intricate care networks: An ethnography of patients and families navigating palliative care in a resource-limited setting
Authors: Wicaksono Raditya Bagas , Muhaimin Amalia , Willems Dick L , Pols Jeannette 
Published: October 2024

Background: The increase in non-communicable disease burdens and aging populations has led to a rise in the need for palliative care across settings. In resource-limited settings such as Indonesia, however, notably in rural areas, there is a lack of professional palliative care. Little is known about specific palliative care navigation, as previous studies have mostly focused on cancer care navigation. A locally tailored approach is crucial. Aim: To explore how patients and families navigate palliative care and the problems they experience. Design: An ethnographic study using in-depth interviews and observations, analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Setting/participants: Interviews with 49 participants (patients, family caregivers, and health professionals) and 12 patient-family unit observations in Banyumas, Indonesia. The analysis: Patients and families navigated palliative care through different strategies: (1) helping themselves, (2) utilizing complementary and alternative medicine, (3) avoiding discussing psychological issues, (4) mobilizing a compassionate and advocating community, and (5) seeking spiritual care through religious practices. Conclusions: Our participants used intricate care networks despite limited resources in navigating palliative care. Several problems were rooted in barriers in the healthcare system and a lack of palliative care awareness among the general public. Local primary health centers could be potential palliative care leaders by building upon pre-existing programs and involving community health volunteers. Cultivating a shared philosophy within the community could strengthen care collaboration and support.

Published: October 2024

Background Nickel (Ni), commonly-used heavy metals in industrial activities, can lead to embryo and organ toxicity, especially cardiovascular damage. Geraniol (GER) has various beneficial effects such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-ulcer, anti-microbial, and neuroprotective activities. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of GER on Ni-induced embryotoxicity and cardiotoxicity in rats. Methods 40 mother Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: Control, GER 250, Ni, Ni + GER 100, and Ni + GER 250. On the 20th day of pregnancy, the animals were sacrificed and fetuses along with blood and tissue samples were collocated for morphological, serological, biochemical, and histopathologic analysis. Results Morphological assessments revealed GER’s capacity to mitigate the incomplete ossification of fetal skeletons, indicating a potential safeguarding against the impact of Ni-induced embryotoxicity. Serological and biochemical analyses further affirm GER’s role, with noteworthy reductions in cardiac injury markers, such as CRP, CKMB, CPK, LDH, and troponin, in response to GER administration, thereby suggesting its cardioprotective potential. Moreover, treatment with GER 250 could significantly reduce the level of MDA and increase the level of TAC compared to the Ni group. Histopathological examinations corroborated these findings, underscoring GER’s ability to counteract cardiac injury and diminish structural damage in affected tissue. Conclusions These multidimensional analyses indicate the protective prowess of GER against Ni-induced embryotoxic and cardiotoxic effects, shedding light on its potential therapeutic significance in combating adverse impacts stemming from Ni exposure.

Published: October 2024

This article constructs an index model of higher education development from the 2020 data of 34 prefecture-level cities in Northeast China. GeoDetector was used to find the explanatory power of higher education for economic growth. The stronger the explanatory power, the greater its effect on enabling a city to move beyond the middle-income stage. The results indicated that economically developed cities had advanced levels of higher education development. The development level of higher education in provincial capitals and sub-provincial cities is among the highest in Northeast China. Furthermore, higher education significantly explains economic growth, with the scale of education having a stronger explanatory power than the quality of education. In addition, regional heterogeneity exists in the explanatory power of the scale and quality of education on economic growth. Specifically, the effect of the scale of higher education on economic growth is significantly greater than the quality of higher education in large cities. In contrast, the opposite is true in medium-sized cities. For small cities, the effect of higher education on economic growth is minimal. JEL Classification O11

Objectives: The objectives were to understand the employment impacts of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein–associated antibody disease (MOGAD) on adults in an international cohort by determining lost employment, work hours, and wages. Background: Clinically, MOGAD can be associated with significant disability; however, its socioeconomic consequences for adults are barely reported. Methods: Participants of potential working age (18–70 years old) with neurologist-diagnosed MOGAD were recruited from clinical sites in 13 countries, April 2022 to August 2023. Each participant completed a one-time survey. Regression models assessed associations with post-MOGAD (1) unemployment and (2) work hours. Results: A total of 117 participants (66.7% female), mean age 39.7 years, median disease duration 3 years (25th, 75th percentile: 1, 7) were analyzed. Employment post-MOGAD reduced from 74 (63.2%) to 57 (48.7%) participants. Participants employed pre-diagnosis reduced their work hours, on average, from 31.6 hours/week to 19.5 hours/week post-diagnosis. Residence in a high-income country was statistically significantly associated with post-diagnosis employment and higher weekly work hours. Depressed mood was associated with unemployment. MOGAD-related pain and history of myelitis were independently associated with lost work hours. Conclusion: MOGAD can have significant impacts on adult employment, particularly in non–high-income countries. Depressed mood and pain are potentially modifiable factors related to socioeconomic status in MOGAD.
Embracing the unexpected: Exploring the role of serendipity in newswriting
Authors: Haapanen Lauri , Perrin Daniel 
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the role of serendipity in journalistic decision-making. The authors draw on 25 years of newsroom ethnography to introduce the concept of a horizon of foreseeable forthcoming phases (HFFP). This concept encompasses the potential next steps that journalists envision in their text production processes, based on the decisions they already made. The authors then analyze two complementary cases to illustrate how serendipity can influence journalistic decision-making. In the Bishop case, Type I serendipity opens up a valuable alternative to the journalist’s planning, leading them to pursue a new story. In contrast, in the Leba case, Type II serendipity is essential to helping the journalist overcome a seemingly hopeless situation. The authors conclude by arguing that serendipitous moments and the resulting emergent solutions hold the potential to reshape journalistic practices and routines, both on the micro level of text production, and on the macro level of professional development. They emphasize the growing importance of serendipity in times where human intelligence competes with algorithms.

Published: October 2024

This study reviews the performance of the Aptis distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty by comparing multiple kinematic and geometric measurements in the operated and contralateral healthy forearm to elucidate whether these are altered after arthroplasty. Forearm geometry and motion were captured using 3-D and 4-D computed tomography in 12 patients with unilateral Aptis arthroplasties. After segmentation and registration, the axis of forearm rotation, translation of the radius along the ulna and range of wrist flexion-extension were measured, and the Dice coefficient and Hausdorff distance were calculated. The forearm rotation axis in the corrected arm deviated 2.3° from the healthy contralateral rotation axis, radial translation along the ulna decreased by 45% and wrist flexion-extension also decreased significantly. Multiple intra-individual geometric differences were observed. The Aptis distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty considerably alters forearm kinematics, which can have clinical implications.

Veterans in Northern Ireland: Evaluation of chronic pain experience, service type, and physical and mental health functioning
Authors: Vowles Kevin E , Robinson Martin , Armour Chérie 
Published: October 2024

Background Chronic pain is common and associated with disruptions in quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial functioning. These issues are particularly pronounced in veterans, although data in this regard primarily come from the United States Veterans Affairs System, meaning less is known regarding veterans of other countries and regions. The present study evaluated veterans living in Northern Ireland (NI), a region with historic high rates of both chronic pain and psychosocial difficulties associated with the decades-long period of civil and military conflict preceding the 1999 armistice (the Good Friday Agreement). Unique to the Northern Ireland military operation was the initiation of Home Service battalions comprised of local recruits, a role with increased risk due to the conflict’s nature and the fact that they were serving as a military and security presence in their home region. Methods A cross-sectional assessment of veterans living in Northern Ireland ( N = 722) provided details of service type (Home Service vs other service), current health conditions (including chronic pain), and current psychosocial functioning (including physical and mental health QoL, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] symptoms). Results Findings indicated that those with chronic pain had worse QoL, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Those with chronic pain were also more likely to have served in the Home Services, be unemployed, and be receiving disability payment. Contrary to hypotheses, there was no interaction between chronic pain and service type. Conclusions These results extend previous work with veterans to the unique circumstances of a post-conflict military that engaged in operations within its own country and underscore the need for coordinated, efficacious interventions for co-morbid chronic pain and anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
The Suprascapular Artery as a Reference for the Evaluation of Supraspinatus Fatty Infiltration on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Guo Siyi , Zhang Pu , Qin Qihuang , Jiang Chunyan 
Published: October 2024

Background: Fatty infiltration (FI) of the supraspinatus is commonly seen in chronic large-to-massive rotator cuff tears. Evaluating FI in patients with severe muscle atrophy can be confusing. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomic relationship between the suprascapular artery and supraspinatus muscle on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to provide a method for defining the border of the supraspinatus muscle on Y-view MRI. It was hypothesized that the branches of the suprascapular artery would encircle the supraspinatus muscle on Y-view and adjacent MRI slices and could be used for defining the supraspinatus outline on oblique sagittal images. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 172 shoulders that had undergone arthroscopic repair for large-to-massive rotator cuff tears were retrospectively included. Two methods, one based on the supraspinous fossa and trapezius (SF method) and the other based on the region bounded by the branches of the suprascapular artery (SA method), were used for defining the supraspinatus outline on Y-view MRI for the assessment of FI. Preoperative supraspinatus FI grade and tangent sign and postoperative tendon integrity were evaluated. Shoulder function was assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and active range of motion. Results: The branches of the suprascapular artery encircled the supraspinatus in all shoulders, with the diameter of the branches ranging from 0.5 to 3 mm. The agreement in supraspinatus FI grading between the SF and SA methods was 65.12%. When limited to the 61 shoulders with a positive tangent sign, the agreement dropped to 22.95% (κ = 0.032). The group (FI grade 2 by SA method and ≥3 by SF method) showed no significant difference in postoperative outcomes compared with the 2-vs-2 group but had significantly better postoperative ASES scores ( P = .001) and active range of motion in forward elevation ( P = .020) compared with the ≥3-vs-≥3 group. The tangent sign was positive in 92.16% of the 2-vs-≥3 group. Conclusion: The suprascapular artery is a reliable reference for the evaluation of supraspinatus FI. When a positive tangent sign presents, supraspinatus FI is likely to be overestimated if the hyperintensity outside the region bounded by the branches of the suprascapular artery is mistaken as FI.
One-Year Surveillance of a Patient Cohort’s Lung Ultrasonography Findings Post Mild-Moderate COVID-19 Infection

Published: October 2024

Objective: Lung involvement due to COVID-19 infection relates to patient clinical outcomes. However, little evidence exists on whether an abnormal lung sonogram, during an initial outpatient infection, may signal an abnormal immunologic response and lasting abnormalities. The aim of this study was to observe whether high-risk outpatients, previously infected with SARS CoV-2 and found to have an initial abnormal lung sonogram, had persistent diagnostic findings at a 1-year re-examination. Materials and Methods: A prospective longitudinal cohort study was performed, based on a prior study completed in January 2022 wherein 55/201 (27%) of consecutive outpatients infected with SARS-CoV-2 received therapy at an outpatient monoclonal antibody clinic and had presented with an abnormal lung ultrasound containing at least 3 apical lung B-line artifacts (LUS+). One year later, the original 55 LUS+ patients were contacted for re-examination; as a result, 14 LUS+ patients consented to a repeat LUS tospecifically recheck the apical area of the lungs for persistent B-line artifacts. The same ultrasound equipment system and imaging methodology were used for this cohort of patients. Additional data was collected regarding COVID-19 test-positive re-infection, persistent pulmonary symptoms during the past year, and COVID-19 vaccination status. Results: Of the 14 LUS+ patients, the mean cohort age was 63 ± 9 years, of which 71% were men. Over the ensuing year, 43% had persistent symptoms, 71% had updated vaccination, and 36% had a self-reported re-infection. The re-infection was reported to have occurred a median of 7 months after the initial infection. The cohort was sub-divided into those with persistent LUS+ compared to those that reverted to a normal scan. The mean age was 69 ± 10 years among those LUS+ compared to 56 ± 8 years in the normalized group. The body mass index (BMI) was 32 kg/m2 in those LUS+ compared to 27 kg/m2 in the normalized group. The cohort has 6 men and 2 women in the LUS+ group compared to 4 men and 2 women in the normalized group. One LUS+ patient out of eight reportedly had been reinfected compared to four normalized patients out of six stated being reinfected. Three LUS+ patients out of eight reported having persistent symptoms compared to three normalized patients out of six complaining of continued COVID-19 symptoms. Conclusion: Based on the 1-year repeated LUS, for this cohort, there was a high prevalence of persistent symptoms and lung abnormalities, in those who had mild-moderate outpatient COVID-19 and received monoclonal antibody therapy. The longitudinal data collection on this cohort of COVID-19 positive outpatients may suggest that individual immune responses or viral virulence factors may play a role in B-line persistence. Certainly, future LUS results may be confounded by a previous COVID-19 infection.
