Unraveling Perceptions of the Armenian Genocide in Turkish Society: An Examination through Cohen’s Denial Typologies
Authors: Nefes Türkay Salim 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The international recognition of the Armenian genocide is the most prominent issue shaping Turkish-Armenian relations today. Nevertheless, the academic literature lacks empirical analyses of people’s perceptions of the genocide in Turkey. To address the gap, the article provides an exploratory investigation into people’s online comments regarding the genocide on the most popular Turkish forum website, Eksisozluk. Guided by Cohen’s (2001) theoretical approach, the study explores online entries on the topic spanning from 2002 to 2018 (N = 2127). The findings reveal eleven attitudes that individuals adopt in the debate. The article examines the diversity in responses by utilizing Cohen’s typology, which helps to define and categorize individuals’ rationales for denial. Further, it shows that Cohen’s approach could contribute to explaining non-denying responses to the recollection of past suffering. The study concludes that people do not uniformly follow the official line concerning the Armenian genocide in Turkey.
On Making a New Realization of Uspud by Erik Satie and J. P. Contamine de Latour
Authors: HUGILL ANDREW 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This essay reflects on a new digital realization by Andrew Hugill of the ‘Christian ballet’ Uspud (1892) by Erik Satie and J. P. Contamine de Latour. The creative process of making the realization entailed a critical re-examination of existing scholarship and revealed that the relationship between music and drama is closer than has previously been understood. The essay situates Uspud in the context of 1890s Montmartre and demonstrates beyond reasonable doubt that it was conceived as a shadow play and scored for solo harmonium. It analyses the music in detail, considering how its motivic construction and use of timbral contrasts both supports the action and conveys the inner states of uspud himself. It considers the humorous and serious aspects of Uspud, arguing that this was a key work in the evolution of Satie’s artistic and personal identity.
Non-additive derived functors via chain resolutions
Authors: Culot Maxime , Renaud Fara , Van der Linden Tim 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Let

$F:\; {\mathscr {C}} \to {\mathscr {E}} \ $

be a functor from a category

$\mathscr {C} \ $

to a homological (Borceux–Bourn) or semi-abelian (Janelidze–Márki–Tholen) category

$\mathscr {E}$

. We investigate conditions under which the homology of an object

$X$

in

$\mathscr {C}$

with coefficients in the functor

$F$

, defined via projective resolutions in

$\mathscr {C}$

, remains independent of the chosen resolution. Consequently, the left derived functors of

$F$

can be constructed analogously to the classical abelian case.
Our approach extends the concept of chain homotopy to a non-additive setting using the technique of imaginary morphisms. Specifically, we utilize the approximate subtractions of Bourn–Janelidze, originally introduced in the context of subtractive categories. This method is applicable when

$\mathscr {C}$

is a pointed regular category with finite coproducts and enough projectives, provided the class of projectives is closed under protosplit subobjects, a new condition introduced in this article and naturally satisfied in the abelian context. We further assume that the functor

$F$

meets certain exactness conditions: for instance, it may be protoadditive and preserve proper morphisms and binary coproducts—conditions that amount to additivity when

$\mathscr {C}$

and

$\mathscr {E}$

are abelian categories.
Within this framework, we develop a basic theory of derived functors, compare it with the simplicial approach, and provide several examples.
The presumption of compatibilism
Authors: Lim Daniel , Nichols Ryan , Wagoner Joseph 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Recent debates over the relationship between omniscience and free will have generated a number of views (e.g. Ockhamism). Though fascinating in their own right, what interests us in this paper is not so much the views themselves, but the way that intuitions have figured prominently in justifying these views. Proponents of the various views assume that their intuitions are the most pre-philosophically natural (or closely aligned with common sense) and therefore best situated to serve as justifications for their views. These implicit claims, however, are not a priori justified; they require empirical investigation. To take a modest step forward in exploring pre-philosophical intuitions about the relationship between omniscience and free will we conducted a series of experiments which presented participants with three cases (two are prominent in the free will and philosophy of religion literatures: Newcomb’s Paradox (Nozick 1969) and Plantinga’s ‘ant colony’ (1986)). Experiment 1 sampled US participants from varied religious backgrounds. Experiment 2 used English-language vignettes and sampled non-Christian persons from India. Experiment 3 used Korean-language translations, and sampled two groups of South Koreans, Christians and non-Christians. Analysis of the data revealed that pre-philosophical intuitions about omniscience and free will are describable as compatibilist.
Parents' views on Chinese young learners' foreign language learning attitudes and motivation: A mixed methods study
Authors: Nie Dongxia , Mavrou Irini 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Young learners' attitudes and motivation are important indicators of foreign language learning success and have thus attracted increasing attention over the last decades. As a large country where English is taught as a foreign language (EFL) and children generally start learning English at an early age, China provides an ideal context to study the attitudes and motivation of young EFL learners. Drawing upon the socio-educational model, this study surveyed 521 Chinese parents using an online questionnaire and interviewed eight of them to examine their perspectives on their children's attitudes and motivation towards EFL learning. The findings suggest that parental factors – socioeconomic status and parental involvement – influence young learners' EFL attitudes and motivation, as perceived by their parents. Parental factors, age at the onset of English language learning and intensity of exposure explained a significant amount of the variation in parents’ reports on the attitudes and motivation of young learners. Furthermore, the parents reported that their children's EFL attitudes and motivation were constantly changing, and that family, school and extracurricular training appeared to play different roles in this process of change.
Empowering minds: The role of disciplinary literacies in English-medium internationalised universities
Authors: Dafouz Emma 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
As higher education increasingly embraces internationalisation, the surge in demand for English as the medium of education (EME) poses significant challenges for stakeholders. This keynote places disciplinary literacies (DLs), defined as the ability to appropriately participate in the communicative practices of a discipline (Airey, 2011), centre stage as a crucial construct for effective teaching and learning within specific subjects. Despite their critical role in facilitating comprehension and production of discipline-specific practices and texts, their integration into EME settings often remains overlooked, raising concerns about students’ mastery of disciplinary content. Against this backdrop, with the help of the ROAD-MAPPING framework (Dafouz & Smit, 2020) as a conceptual and analytical tool, and drawing on data from the SHIFT research project, I will illustrate how ROAD-MAPPING can be used to examine comprehensively and in a socially situated way the role of DLs in students’ learning experiences. The paper advocates for the importance of supporting students (and lecturers) in the development of DLs in EME underscoring the pivotal role ESP (English for Specific Purposes) and EAP (English for Academic Purposes) professionals play in facilitating effective EME implementation.
Processing syntactic violations in the non-native language: different behavioural and neural correlates as a function of typological similarity?
Authors: Von Grebmer Zu Wolfsthurn Sarah , Pablos Leticia , Schiller Niels O. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Despite often featuring in theoretical accounts, the exact impact of typological similarity on non-native language comprehension and its corresponding neural correlates remains unclear. We examined the modulatory role of typological similarity in syntactic violation processing in the non-native language Spanish, for example [el volcán] versus [*la volcán], and in cross-linguistic influence. Participants were Italian late learners of Spanish (similar language pair) or German late learners of Spanish (less similar language pair). We measured P600 amplitudes, accuracy and response times. In line with our predictions, we found a larger P600 effect and differential CLI effects for Italian-Spanish speakers compared to German-Spanish speakers. Behaviourally, Italian-Spanish speakers responded slower compared to German-Spanish speakers. Together, these results indicate typological similarity effects in non-native comprehension as reflected in a processing advantage for typologically similar languages, but only at the neural level. These findings have critical implications for the interplay of different languages in the multilingual brain.
The Case for Algorithmic Scepticism in Law

Published: February 2025

AbstractWhile we are aware that algorithms are at play in the background of much of what we do in our day-to-day life they are still widely misunderstood, says Sarah A Sutherland, the founder and principal consultant at Parallax Information Consulting. Here Sarah talks us through how we should approach our technology adoption by considering what algorithms are being used for and what the underlying technology and data that supports them actually is.
The nature of the decentralised autonomous organisation
Authors: Davidson Sinclair 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper examines the concept of decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs), blockchain-based entities intended to operate without central authority or management hierarchy, through the lens of organisational economics. It compares DAOs with conventional organisational forms and explores whether DAOs represent a novel organisational form. The paper investigates DAOs in the context of the electronic markets hypothesis and applies theories from Demsetz, Jensen and Meckling, and Williamson to understand their potential long-term viability. A key finding is that for DAOs to function as claimed, they must effectively suppress agency costs through smart contracts and internal contestable markets. The paper also highlights the challenges DAOs face in maintaining adaptive integrity and fostering cooperative adaptation. While DAOs show promise in reducing certain transaction and information costs, their long-term viability depends on overcoming significant governance and participation hurdles.
Effects of maternal restraint stress on offspring intestinal microbiota and adipogenesis: insights from in vivo and in vitro studies

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The maternal restraint stress animal model is based on a long-term stress paradigm administered to pregnant maternal animals, and these offspring have been shown to exhibit a variety of biochemical defects including obesity. This study aimed to investigate whether maternal restraint stress affects obesity-associated changes in offspring intestinal microbiota and the adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
Pregnant mice were subjected to restraint stress three times daily from gestational Day12 to delivery. Changes in the composition of the intestinal microbiota of mothers (during pregnancy and lactation) and their lactating offspring exposed to maternal restraint stress were analyzed using next-generation sequencing. Maternal stress altered the maternal microbiota, with reduced Bacteroidetes and increased Firmicutes. While similar trends were observed in offspring, these changes were not statistically significant. However, maternal stress notably reduced microbial diversity in the offspring’s intestinal microbiota. Bone marrow-derived MSCs from offspring at weaning were analyzed for adipogenic transcription factors and hormone receptor expression using quantitative PCR. Maternal stress enhanced the adipogenic phenotype of offspring MSCs, as evidenced by increased expression of adipogenic markers (PPARγ, leptin receptor) and a reduced osteogenic phenotype. In vitro induction further confirmed the higher adipocyte differentiation potential in stressed offspring MSCs compared to controls.
Our results revealed that maternal restraint stress altered the maternal intestinal microbiota, leading to reduced microbial diversity in offspring, predisposing their MSCs toward an adipocyte phenotype. These finding suggest that modulating the intestinal microbiota of stressed pregnant women may improve the susceptibility to obesity in their children.
Identifying right and left impact using the derivative of linear resultant acceleration from a single sacrum-mounted IMU
Authors: Chebbi Aida , Robinson Rachel M. , Donahue Seth R. , Hahn Michael E. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study introduces a novel method for gait analysis using a single inertial measurement unit placed on the sacrum. This method is valid not only on level ground but also on incline and decline conditions. The method leverages the “crackle” function, the third derivative of the sacral resultant acceleration, to identify right and left gait events. This approach is particularly effective in capturing the initial peak in acceleration data during foot impact with the ground, often overlooked by other methods. The study aimed to demonstrate the method’s accuracy in identifying the right- and left-side impacts during level ground, incline, and decline runs across a range of speeds. Additionally, the algorithm was applied in outdoor running scenarios, where it performed very well, further validating its robustness and reliability. The results are compared with other existing methods to highlight the effectiveness of this approach.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective
To examine the effect of acute aerobic exercise at moderate-to-vigorous and light intensity on food reward, appetite sensation, and energy intake (EI) in physically inactive adults.

Methods
Twenty inactive, healthy adults (mean age: 21 ± 3 years) completed two trials (i.e. moderate-to-vigorous and light-intensity exercise) in a randomised, crossover design. Participants performed a 40-min cycling bout at either 50% or 20% peak power output in a counterbalanced order. Before and after exercise bouts, liking and wanting for fat and sweet/savoury categories of food were assessed by the Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire, along with subjective ratings of appetite and state food cravings. EI was evaluated by ad libitum meals following exercise bouts.

Results
Results showed increased implicit wanting for high-fat relative to low-fat foods (p = .04, drm = 0.50) and savoury relative to sweet foods following exercise bouts (p = .04, drm = −0.49) without intensity-specific effects. Exercise bouts also led to increased subjective appetite (p < 0.001, η
2
p = 0.60) and state food cravings (p = 0.001, η
2
p = 0.44) without intensity-specific differences. There was no difference between exercise intensities on absolute EI, whereas relative EI was lower after moderate-to-vigorous exercise relative to light exercise (p < 0.001, drm = −1.56).

Conclusion
Acute aerobic exercise, regardless of intensity, may lead to increased wanting for high-fat relative to low-fat and savoury relative to sweet-tasting foods, as well as enhanced appetite sensation and food cravings in physically inactive adults. Moderate-to-vigorous exercise does not induce additional energy intake relative to light exercise.

Abstract
Inversions are known contributors to the pathogenesis of genetic diseases. Identifying inversions poses significant challenges, making it one of the most demanding structural variants (SVs) to detect and interpret. Recent advancements in sequencing technologies and the development of publicly available SV datasets have substantially enhanced our capability to explore inversions. However, a cross-comparison in those datasets remains unexplored. In this study, we reported a proband with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis type-3 carrying a splicing variant (c.1389+1G>A) in trans with an inversion present in 0.006345% of individuals in gnomAD (v4.0) that disrupts UNC13D. Based on this result, we investigate the features of potentially pathogenic inversions in gnomAD which revealed 98.9% of them are rare and disrupt 5% of protein-coding genes associated with a phenotype in OMIM. We then conducted a comparative analysis of additional public datasets, including DGV, 1KGP, and two recent studies from the Human Genome Structural Variation Consortium which revealed common and dataset-specific inversion characteristics suggesting methodology detection biases. Next, we investigated the genetic features of inversions disrupting the protein-coding genes. Notably, we found that the majority of protein-coding genes in OMIM disrupted by inversions are associated with autosomal recessive phenotypes supporting the hypothesis that inversions in trans with other variants are potential hidden causes of monogenic diseases. This effort aims to fill the gap in our understanding of the molecular characteristics of inversions with low frequency in the population and highlight the importance of identifying them in rare disease studies.
Neuron-specific isoform of PGC-1α regulates neuronal metabolism and brain aging

Abstract
The brain is a high-energy tissue, and although aging is associated with dysfunctional inflammatory and neuron-specific functional pathways, a direct connection to metabolism is not established. Here, we show that isoforms of mitochondrial regulator PGC-1α are driven from distinct brain cell-type specific promotors, repressed with aging, and integral in coordinating metabolism and growth signaling. Transcriptional and proteomic profiles of cortex from male adult, middle age, and advanced age mice reveal an aging metabolic signature linked to PGC-1α. In primary culture, a neuron-exclusive promoter produces the functionally dominant isoform of PGC-1α. Using growth repression as a challenge, we find that PGC-1α is regulated downstream of GSK3β independently across promoters. Broad cellular metabolic consequences of growth inhibition observed in vitro are mirrored in vivo, including activation of PGC-1α directed programs and suppression of aging pathways. These data place PGC-1α centrally in a growth and metabolism network directly relevant to brain aging.
Dimension reduction in quantum sampling of stochastic processes
Authors: Yang Chengran , Florido-Llinàs Marta , Gu Mile , Elliott Thomas J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Quantum technologies offer a promising route to the efficient sampling and analysis of stochastic processes, with potential applications across the sciences. Such quantum advantages rely on the preparation of a quantum sample state of the stochastic process, which requires a memory system to propagate correlations between the past and future of the process. Here, we introduce a method of lossy quantum dimension reduction that allows this memory to be compressed, not just beyond classical limits, but also beyond current state-of-the-art quantum stochastic sampling approaches. We investigate the trade-off between the saving in memory resources from this compression, and the distortion it introduces. We show that our approach can be highly effective in low distortion compression of both Markovian and strongly non-Markovian processes alike. We further discuss the application of our results to quantum stochastic modelling more broadly.

Abstract
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) can produce valid estimates of the benefits and harms of therapeutic interventions. However, incomplete reporting can undermine the validity of their conclusions. Reporting guidelines, such as SPIRIT for protocols and CONSORT for results, have been developed to improve transparency in RCT publications. In this study, we report a corpus of 200 RCT publications, named SPIRIT-CONSORT-TM, annotated for transparency. We used a comprehensive data model that includes 83 items from SPIRIT and CONSORT checklists for annotation. Inter-annotator agreement was calculated for 30 pairs. The dataset includes 26,613 sentences annotated with checklist items and 4,231 terms. We also trained natural language processing (NLP) models that automatically identify these items in publications. The sentence classification model achieved 0.742 micro-F1 score (0.865 at the article level). The term extraction model yielded 0.545 and 0.663 micro-F1 score in strict and lenient evaluation, respectively. The corpus serves as a benchmark to train models that assist stakeholders of clinical research in maintaining high reporting standards and synthesizing information on study rigor and conduct.
