Teacher produced video tours of classrooms: what matters for their teaching of writing?
Authors: Mantei Jessica , Kervin Lisa , Weber Lauren A. , Ryan Mary 
Published: September 2024

AbstractAustralian literacy classrooms are shaped by an unprecedented time of national curriculum reform. Australian teachers follow a national English curriculum with the pressures of national standardised assessment, state interpretation (state-based syllabus and support documents) and localised system requirements influencing their pedagogical practices. It is timely to consider how teachers recontextualise these external pressures in their teaching of writing. This paper uses reflexivity theory to investigate the interplay between social, cultural and individual influences on the materiality of writing classrooms. Through our conceptual framing of reflexive materiality, we analyse video tours created by elementary teachers (Grades 3–6) to highlight classroom components pertinent to their writing pedagogy and practices. Our analysis focused on theoretically-based instruction practices, teacher professional knowledge, opportunities for students to write, and the impact of the external context on the materiality of the classroom environment. Findings demonstrate a reflexive relationship between teachers’ system-based contexts and the substance of classroom objects, spaces, and teachers’ ideas and philosophies regarding writing.
Controlling systems and controlling legacies: Barbara McClintock’s 1961 conversation with two bacterial geneticists
Authors: Wu Qinyan 
Published: September 2024

AbstractBarbara McClintock (1902–1992), the renowned American maize geneticist, received the 1983 Nobel Prize “for her discovery of mobile genetic elements,” becoming the seventh woman scientist to receive a Nobel Prize. However, Nathaniel Comfort points out that McClintock viewed her primary contribution as the elucidation of control systems, rather than the discovery of mobile elements. McClintock’s interest in control systems dates back to the 1940s, and this paper investigates her 1961 conversation with François Jacob and Jacques Monod, where she sought to shape the interpretation of her work by drawing parallels between maize control systems and a bacterial system they had recently discovered. Despite McClintock’s efforts, Jacob and Monod rejected her parallels and suggested that her contribution was limited to mobile elements. Through an examination of their published papers, I argue that Jacob and Monod’s rejection stemmed from their failure to fully comprehend maize control systems. Disciplinary discrepancy helps explain Jacob and Monod’s lack of comprehension: they were molecular geneticists working on bacteria, while McClintock was a classical geneticist studying maize. I further argue that gender played a role, as McClintock experienced the Matilda effect—the under-recognition of her contribution, reinforced by the reactions of two male geneticists, and ironically, by the award of the Nobel Prize. Control systems, stemming from McClintock’s reverence for organisms, embodied what Evelyn Fox Keller defines as “gender-neutral science.” This divergent view of science provides insight into why Jacob and Monod failed to grasp McClintock’s work in 1961.
Enhancing Myocardial Infarction Diagnosis: LSTM-based Deep Learning Approach Integrating Echocardiographic Wall Motion Analysis
Authors: Soe Hsu Thiri , Iwata Hiroyasu 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Owing to the increased mortality of heart diseases worldwide, especially myocardial infarction (MI), early detection is essential for improved diagnosis and treatment. The main purpose of this study is to develop a myocardial infarction detection method that combines deep learning and image processing, focusing on abnormalities in left ventricular (LV) wall motion.

Methods
The proposed method primarily uses the LV wall motion movement as a feature to train an LSTM network for MI detection. LV wall motion annotated by expert cardiologists was used as the ground truth. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate model performance. The proposed method primarily uses LV wall motion as a feature, combined with LV size and image pixels, to improve diagnostic accuracy over existing computer-aided design (CAD) systems.

Results
The LSTM model achieved the highest diagnostic performance when trained on a combination of LV wall motion, LV size, and image pixel features with an accuracy of 95%, sensitivity of 96%, specificity of 94%, and an AUC value of 0.98. The LSTM model significantly outperformed models trained on individual feature sets or conventional machine learning algorithms. The inclusion of LV wall motion analysis improved accuracy by 10% compared to using only LV size and pixel data.

Conclusion
Our MI diagnosis system uses echocardiographic image analysis and LSTM-based deep learning to accurately detect LV wall motion issues related to MI. Compared with current CAD systems, the inclusion of LV wall motion analysis significantly improves diagnosis accuracy. The proposed system can help physicians detect MI early, thereby accelerating treatment and improving patient outcomes.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate how the first oral administration of suvorexant affects PSG results in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Single-center, prospective study conducted in a nonrandomized, uncontrolled, unblinded fashion. Undiagnosed 64 patients with suspected OSA underwent first-night PSG, and 30 patients with severe OSA (Apnea Hypopnea Index [AHI] ≥ 30 events/h) underwent second-night PSG testing after administration of 15 mg suvorexant. The change in AHI between the first and second nights was not significant, although the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in AHI was high at 5.987.The mean duration of apnea on the second night was significantly prolonged compared to that on the first night, but there were no significant differences n 3% oxygen desaturation index, saturation of percutaneous oxygen<90% time. On the second night, total sleep time was significantly prolonged, mid-night awakenings decreased, REM sleep percentage increased, and REM latency was shorter. Because the environment for PSG testing is very different from the patient's home and many patients have difficulty sleeping, there are clinical cases in which PSG is performed with sleep medication. In this study, PSG after oral administration of 15 mg of suvorexant on the second night showed no significant difference or clear trend in AHI. However, the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in AHI was greater than 5, suggesting that suvorexant may exacerbate AHI, even with the first administration.
Are C-reactive protein and procalcitonin safe and useful for antimicrobial stewardship purposes in patients with COVID-19? A scoping review
Authors: Williams Anita , Repetto Ernestina , Lebbie Ishmael , Khalife Mohamad , Jensen Tomas Oestergaard 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objective:
The primary objectives of this study were to assess the usefulness of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the diagnosis of bacterial co-infections in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and if their incorporation in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs is safe and useful, stratified by severity of disease as level of care, intensive care unit (ICU) or non-ICU. Our secondary objectives were to identify cut-off values for antibiotic decision-making and identify reported results from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Design:
A scoping review of published literature, adhering to the PRISMA statement for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. The last search was performed in January 2024.

Results:
Fifty-nine studies were included in this scoping review: 20 studies reporting predictive values and/or sensitivity/specificity results for PCT, 8 reporting clear objectives on AMS, and 3 studies from LMICs.

Conclusion:
In the context of non-ICU hospitalized COVID-19 patients in high-income countries, a PCT value below 0.25 mg/L can be a useful tool to rule out bacterial co-infection. The wide range of reported negative predictive values suggests that PCT should be interpreted in the context of other clinical findings. Our results do not support the use of CRP in the same manner as PCT. There is a clear need for more studies in LMICs.

Abstract

Introduction:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an opportunistic pathogen. Metallo-β-lactamase producing PA (MBL-PA) poses a problematic issue given limited available treatments. In Argentina, it accounts for less than one percent of healthcare-associated infections.

Objectives:
To describe an outbreak of verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase (VIM) Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Unit (HSCTU), and the strategies implemented to control it.

Materials and methods:
Investigation of an outbreak by MBL-PA in an HSCTU in May 2023. Active case search, environmental sampling, identification and susceptibility pattern of strains, mitigation strategies. Case: patient admitted to the HSCTU with positive sample for MBL-PA after 48 hours of admission. Mitigation strategies: biweekly rectal swabbing, contact precautions, dedicated nursing staff, waterless patient care, and disinfection of bacterial reservoirs.

Results:
In May 2023 two cases were identified. A retrospective search determined an additional case. One (10%) of the environmental samples was positive for VIM type MBL-PA in the drain of the hand hygiene station in the nurse’s office. Strains were susceptible to colistin and fosfomycin and intermediate to aztreonam. Incidence density (ID) of colonization and infection by MBL-PA in the HSCTU were .68/1,000 patient-days (pd) and 0, respectively, in the second semester of 2022. In the first semester of 2023, ID rose to 2.93/1,000 pd for colonization and .73/1,000 pd for infection.
Mitigation strategies aimed at reducing exposure of immunocompromised hosts to water. No new cases have been identified since.

Conclusions:
We report an MBL-PA outbreak probably linked to the water distribution system in an HSCTU, and mitigation strategies put in place.
Head metonymies and metaphors in Jordanian and Tunisian Arabic: an extended conceptual metaphor theory perspective
Authors: Zibin Aseel , Altakhaineh Abdel Rahman Mitib , Musmar Ola 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study aims to explore the target concepts of metonymical and metaphorical uses of ‘head’ in Jordanian Arabic (JA) compared to those used in Tunisian Arabic (TA). Extended conceptual metaphor theory (ECMT) as envisaged by Kövecses (2020, Review of Cognitive Linguistics, 18, 112–-130) is adopted as the theoretical framework. Data analysis reveals that through metonymic metaphors, the head in JA is used to profile character traits, mental faculty, cultural values and emotions. The head in JA is also capitalized upon to provide explanations of several daily life experiences. The primacy of head in JA was clear in the informants’ comprehension of the means by which embodiment provides the grounding for cognition, perception and language, which supports Gibbs’ (2014, The Bloomsbury companion to cognitive linguistics, pp. 167–184) ‘embodied metaphorical imagination’. Similarities in the cultural model of head between the two dialects were found, yet differences were also detected. In contrast to TA, the head is more productive in JA in profiling character traits and emotions. These differences were attributed to the existence of a cultural filter that has the ability to function between two cultures that belong to one matrix Arab culture and differences in experiential focus between the two examined speech communities.
Optimizing soil and plant functions: combinatory design of fertilizing resources assemblage for rainfed rice in Madagascar
Authors: Raminoarison Manoa , Jaillard Benoît , Razafimbelo Tantely , Rahajaharilaza Koloina , Blanchart Eric , Trap Jean 
Published: September 2024

Summary
The lack of affordable mineral fertilizers and scarcity of organic materials cause decline in soil fertility for smallholder farmers and producers in the highlands of Madagascar, challenging crop productivity. To fulfill plant growth and nutrition, we explored the effect of 132 combinations of 17 different fertilizing resources, both organic and mineral, on rice growth and nutrition using a greenhouse experiment. Two clustering approaches were used to evaluate the effects of fertilizing resources: elemental clustering and functional clustering. Elemental clustering grouped resources based on their elemental intrinsic composition, while functional clustering grouped resources based on their effect in improving plant growth and nutrition when combined in soil. We found that some resources closely grouped based on their elemental composition exhibited different effects on plant growth and nutrition when combined in soil. Zebu horn emerged as a particular organic resource in elemental clustering, and a key resource in functional clustering by promoting plant growth and nutrition when combined with other resources in soil. Its unique elemental composition played a significant role in driving positive interactions with other resources. We proposed to extend the concept of ‘assembly motif’ within soil fertilization strategy, suggesting that the combination of functional groups of resources determines better their fertilizing effect than their elemental composition. Resources inducing high interaction effects should be combined with those having high elemental composition to optimize crop productivity.
The Portrait of an Alla Franca Shaykh: Sufism, Modernity, and Class in Turkey
Authors: Burak-Adli Feyza 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis paper illustrates the heterogeneity of Islamic publics in early 20th-century Turkey by examining the life and thought of Ken'an Rifai, a Sufi shaykh and high-ranking bureaucrat in the Ottoman Ministry of Education. It argues that Shaykh Rifai endorsed state secularization reforms on religious grounds and shows how he reformulated Sufi Islam by imbricating Sufi ethics with other social imaginaries of the time through the lens of an upper-class bureaucrat. This paper contributes to Turkish studies by highlighting the previously overlooked role of elite Islamic groups who collaborated with the early republic. It also challenges the dominant paradigm of a binary opposition between the secular ruling elite and pious masses. Additionally, this paper offers insight into broader anthropological and historical Islamic studies by demonstrating the diverse ways Sufi traditions adapted to modern governance.
‘Etched into the Soul’: The Education of Shorthand-Writers in Late Antiquity
Authors: Kirsh Ella 
Published: September 2024

AbstractSurviving in excellent condition on papyri and wax tablets, the Commentary and other late antique shorthand manuals offer a new way to investigate the complexity and diversity of non-elite intellectual culture in the later Roman Empire. Stenographical skill and obedience were hymned by elite authors, but the methods used to inculcate that skill and extract that compliance have rarely been examined. This article, the first to subject shorthand pedagogy to social historical analysis, argues that the difficulty of the shorthand system increased the potency of the ideological lessons it delivered to its (predominantly non-elite, often enslaved) students. It finds that, in addition to technical instruction, the Commentary communicated a coherent, if troubling, vision of late ancient society and of the proper dispensation of power within it. Student-authored marginalia point to the successes and limits of the Commentary's moral pedagogy and raise fresh questions about how non-elite communities developed their own intellectual identities and traditions.
Emergency, narratives, and pandemic governance
Authors: Sharma Panch Rishi Dev 
Published: September 2024

AbstractPandemics present opportunities for states to acquire emergency powers by narrativizing pandemics as “acts of God,” “acts of war,” “acts of outsiders,” “sanitation-hygiene,” or “acts of the invisible enemy.” These narratives conveniently justify the imposition of undefined and often unrestrained constitutional or extra-constitutional emergency powers to reshape individual, social, and governance modalities. These narratives conveniently establish the setting for states to justify the imposition of broad emergency powers by determining the plot of pandemic-appropriate modalities for individuals, society, and governance mechanisms and classifying the characters of pandemic as protagonists and antagonists as per the plot and settings of the preferred narrative. This article attempts to reveal the theoretical and applicational interconnections between state-sponsored narratives and exercise of emergency powers during the pandemic governance in plague, cholera, influenza, and Covid-19 pandemics.
Legal Boundaries, Organizational Fields, and Trade Union Politics: The Development of Railway Unions in the US and the UK
Authors: Adereth Maya 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThroughout the nineteenth century, powerful railway unions in the USA and the UK cultivated an expansive system of voluntary sickness, death, unemployment, and superannuation benefits. By the early twentieth century, the movements had diverged: while the British Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants relinquished its commitment to voluntarism in favor of state healthcare and pensions, the American Railway Brotherhoods persisted along voluntarist lines, resisting social insurance in favor of exclusive schemes for their white male membership. What accounts for these diverging orientations? I highlight the importance of organizational forms as a lens for understanding comparative trade union strategy, emphasizing the role of law in designating legitimate forms of working-class association. I demonstrate that governing elites in both countries promoted voluntarism as a benign form of working-class organization throughout much of the nineteenth century. Consequently, I argue, early American and British trade unions adopted benefits in part because they enabled them to mimic the far more respected and legitimate friendly and fraternal mutual benefit societies. Toward the end of the century, the context had changed: while alternative organizational avenues were opened for trade unions in the UK, benefits presented an ongoing organizational lifeline for American unions. In defining and redefining the boundaries of legitimate forms of workers’ associations, legal decisions in both countries shaped not only trade union organizing strategies in the short run but also their positioning in broader social struggles.
Dynamics of the Summer Counter‐Wind Current Along South Sri Lanka Coast: 2. Relative Contributions of Local and Remote Forcing on the Intra‐Seasonal Timescale

Published: September 2024

AbstractIt is well known that the intra‐seasonal component is critical for the occurrence of the westward south Sri Lanka coastal current (SSLCC) during summer. In this study, the relative contributions and physical processes that determine the westward SSLCC during summer on the intra‐seasonal timescale are quantified using the reanalysis data and a simple linear, continuously stratified (LCS) ocean model. A comprehensive analysis of the westward SSLCC events reveals that the wind forcing from south Sri Lanka coast, equatorial Indian Ocean, and southern Bay of Bengal (BoB) is responsible for the westward SSLCC (on the intra‐seasonal timescale), contributing 53%, 30%, and 17%, respectively. The local wind forcing along the southern Sri Lanka is linked to the boreal summer intra‐seasonal oscillation (BSISO). Specifically, the negative phase of the BSISO, characterized by active atmospheric convection, induces cyclonic wind stress curl along the south coast of Sri Lanka, and directly promoting the westward SSLCC. The equatorial forcing plays a secondary role in the westward SSLCC via mixing behavior of the first and second baroclinic modes upwelling Rossby waves (0.64 m s−1), propagating westward along the 5°N section as the cyclonic vortices. On the contrast, influenced by the modulation of the BSISO signal, the forcing from the southern BoB excites the rapid westward propagation of the first baroclinic mode upwelling Rossby waves (0.85 m s−1) near 90°E, contributing the westward SSLCC.
DASEventNet: AI‐Based Microseismic Detection on Distributed Acoustic Sensing Data From the Utah FORGE Well 16A (78)‐32 Hydraulic Stimulation

Published: September 2024

AbstractDistributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has emerged as a promising seismic technology for monitoring microearthquakes (MEQs) with high spatial resolution. Efficient algorithms are needed for processing large DAS data volumes. This study introduces a deep learning (DL) model based on a Residual Convolutional Neural Network (ResNet) for detecting MEQs using DAS data, named as DASEventNet. The test data were collected from the Utah FORGE 16A (78)‐32 hydraulic stimulation experiments conducted in April 2022. The DASEventNet model achieves a remarkable accuracy of 100% when discriminating MEQs from noise in the raw test set of 260 examples. Surprisingly, the model identified weak MEQ signatures that have been manually categorized as noise. The decision‐making process with the model is decoded by the classic activation map, which illuminates learning features of the DASEventNet model. These features provide clear illustrations of weak MEQs and varied noise types. Finally, we apply the trained model to the entire period (∼7 days) of continuous DAS recordings and find that it discovers >5,700 new MEQs, previously unregistered in the public Silixa DAS catalog. The DASEventNet model significantly outperforms the traditional seismic method Short‐Term Average/Long‐Term Average (STA/LTA), which detected only 1,307 MEQs. The DASEventNet detection threshold is Mw−1.80 compared to the minimum magnitude of Mw−1.14 detected by STA/LTA. The spatiotemporal distribution of the newly identified MEQs defines an extensive stimulation zone and more accurately characterizes fracture geometry. Our results highlight the potential of DL for long‐term, real‐time microseismic monitoring that can improve enhanced geothermal systems and other activities that include subsurface hydraulic fracturing.
