Abstract
Gymnophallidae is one of the digenean families featuring bivalves as first intermediate hosts. However, the exact bivalve host species remain unknown for most members of this family. Gymnophallids have been one of the targets in our continuous efforts to reveal the diversity of digeneans in the higher north. Here, we focus on Gymnophallus minor, which we found in eiders from various locations in the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Sexual adults (maritae) of G. minor can be easily identified because they have a distinctive character: the roughly equal size of the pharynx and the ventral sucker. We also matched them, using DNA markers, with the intramolluscan stages (sporocysts, cercariae, and metacercariae) from the bivalve Liocyma fluctuosa collected on Spitsbergen. Taken together, we compile the first data on the life cycle of G. minor and discuss them in the context of other gymnophallids.

Published: February 2025

San Juan Piñas Mixtec (endonym: Tò’ō Ndá’ví; henceforth SJPM) (ISO 639-3: vmc) is a previously undocumented Oto-Manguean language of the Mixtecan branch spoken in the municipality of Santiago Juxtlahuaca in Oaxaca, Mexico (shown in the map in Figure 1). According to a 2020 census conducted by the Mexican government (INEGI 2020), there are 717 inhabitants in the town of San Juan Piñas, almost all of whom speak SJPM as their native language. Additionally, speakers are found in diaspora communities in the western states of Baja California (Mexico), California, Oregon, Washington, and other places in Mexico and the United States. There are about half a million speakers of all Mixtec varieties in Mexico (INEGI 2020), and between 100,000 and 150,000 speakers of Mixtec in California (Kresge 2007). While elderly speakers in San Juan Piñas tend to be monolingual, younger speakers are bilingual in SJPM and Spanish. In diaspora communities in the United States, younger SJPM speakers shift to English and/or Spanish as their primary language(s) of communication.
Antidepressant efficacy of administering repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with psychological and other non-pharmacological methods: a scoping review and meta-analysis

Published: February 2025

Abstract
To optimize the antidepressant efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), it is important to examine the impact of brain state during therapeutic rTMS. Evidence suggests that brain state can modulate the brain’s response to stimulation, potentially diminishing antidepressant efficacy if left uncontrolled or enhancing it with inexpensive psychological or other non-pharmacological methods. Thus, we conducted a PRISMA-ScR-based scoping review to pool studies administering rTMS with psychological and other non-pharmacological methods. PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to 10 July 2024. Inclusion criteria: neuropsychiatric patients underwent rTMS; studies assessed depressive symptom severity; non-pharmacological tasks or interventions were administered during rTMS, or did not include a wash-out period. Of 8,442 studies, 20 combined rTMS with aerobic exercise, bright light therapy, cognitive training or reactivation, psychotherapy, sleep deprivation, or a psychophysical task. Meta-analyses using random effects models were conducted based on change scores on standardized scales. The effect size was large and therapeutic for uncontrolled pretest-posttest comparisons (17 studies, Hedges’ g = −1.91, (standard error) SE = 0.45, 95% (confidence interval) CI = −2.80 to −1.03, p < 0.01); medium when studies compared active combinations with sham rTMS plus active non-pharmacological methods (8 studies, g = −0.55, SE = 0.14, 95% CI = −0.82 to −0.28, p < 0.01); and non-significant when active combinations were compared with active rTMS plus sham psychological methods (4 studies, p = 0.96). Attempts to administer rTMS with non-pharmacological methods show promise but have not yet outperformed rTMS alone.
A quote attributed to Udbhaṭabhaṭṭa, which is actually from Arcaṭa
Authors: Del Toso Krishna 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
On the basis of textual scrutiny and intertextual comparisons, this study highlights that Vādidevasūri's attribution of a quotation to the Cārvāka/Lokāyata philosopher Udbhaṭabhaṭṭa in the Syādvādaratnākara is, in fact, part of a broader passage sourced from Arcaṭa's Hetubinduṭīkā and, consequently, its expungement from the corpus of source material attributed to the Cārvāka/Lokāyata authors is suggested.
The significance of feathers in early and medieval China
Authors: Donegan-Cross John 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article opens with a mystery: why was Zizang 子臧 assassinated in the seventh century bce, and why was his assassination justified in the Zuozhuan by his fondness of snipe-feather caps? It is well established that feathers were a common item of clothing in early and medieval China, used to confer status, to flaunt wealth, to embellish rituals. This article argues that there may also have been accompanying beliefs surrounding their use; beliefs that feathers might bestow upon the wearer certain imagined characteristics of the birds from which they came. It uses case studies of soldiers and their relationship to brown-eared pheasants, dancers and their relationship to long-tailed pheasants, and immortals and their relationship to cranes and egrets. Finally, it returns to Zizang's snipe-feather cap, and suggests reasons for his fate.
Factor structure and longitudinal changes in bilinguals’ oral narratives production: role of language exposure, language-domain proficiency, and transfer

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper examined the interaction between narrative performance, language exposure, and standardized measures of morphosyntax and semantics, in bilingual children tested two times, 1 year apart. We aimed to 1) identify the factor structure of oral narrative measures, and 2) examine the direction and strength of the effects of (i) language exposure and (ii) the relationship between language domains and narrative production. A total of 143 Spanish (L1)-English (L2) bilingual children completed a battery of oral narrative and oral language proficiency assessments in Spanish and English at two time points (kindergarten and Grade 1). Factor analyses yielded an identical two-factor structure of bilingual oral narrative measurements, namely productivity (word production) and complexity (sentence structure), in both Spanish and English across the two time points. Cross-lagged analysis showed that narrative production predicted semantics and morphosyntax performance in Spanish and English one year later. Cross-language transfer from L1 to L2 on the complexity of narrative was noted. Language exposure predicted only Spanish narrative production, but not English. These results suggest within- and cross-language transfer, highlighting the importance of L1 language development. In addition, current findings highlight the importance of language exposure for L1 in early school-age children.
Digital Fandoms and the 227 Incident: A Case of “Cancel Culture with Chinese Characteristics”
Authors: Tan Chris K.K. , Li Miao 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Cancel culture, a phenomenon where norm-transgressing individuals are named and ostracized on social media and elsewhere, receives both public approval and disdain. Recently, it manifested among Chinese fans of the danmei genre of homo-romantic literature. In the “227 Incident,” actions taken by fans of the actor-singer Xiao Zhan allegedly led to the banning of the free literary repository, Archive of Our Own (AO3), in early 2020. Enraged, AO3's other users retaliated by attempting to cancel Xiao both online and off. Both sides of the dispute exhibit what we term “cancel culture with Chinese characteristics.” While there is a lofty social justice behind the original intent of cancel culture, some Chinese fans advocate the cis-heteropatriarchy. Additionally, fan fervour has merged with cyber-nationalism, which complicates the region's geopolitics.
The association between nonsuicidal and suicidal self-injurious behaviors: A systematic review and expanded conceptual model
Authors: Ammerman Brooke A. , Burke Taylor A. , O’Loughlin Caitlin M. , Hammond Rebecca 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives:
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is one of the strongest predictors of suicidal behavior. Despite this, the field still has a limited understanding of the mechanisms by which this relationship is conferred.

Method:
We conducted a systematic review of the empirical research examining potential factors driving (i.e., moderators, mediators) the relationship between NSSI and suicidal behavior to address this gap in the literature.

Results:
We identified only 15 studies examining moderators or mediators of this relationship, examining 40 unique mediators and 22 unique moderators. Three prominent weaknesses were identified in the reviewed literature: (1) limited intersection with existing theoretical models of the NSSI – suicidal behavior relationship, (2) little replication of findings across studies (i.e., only four mediators and four moderators assessed in multiple studies), and (3) only one of the included studies utilized a prospective design. Research to date does little to improve our understanding of the theoretical or prospective relationship between NSSI and suicidal behavior, highlighting a foundational gap in the literature.

Discussion:
We propose the Nonsuicidal to Suicidal Self-Injury Pathway Model, a new conceptual model of the relationship between NSSI and suicidal behavior, drawing on extant theory and empirical research; we discuss future directions for work in this area.

Authors: Semyashkin Andrey , Nesteruk Julia , Giannikopouloui Dimitra , Scheid Michael , Tarusinov Gleb , Tannous Aktam , Te Vrugt Marcel , Ben Mime Lotfi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives:
To retrospectively assess the suitability of pulmonary artery banding as a treatment strategy for dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy with depressed left ventricular ejection fraction.

Methods:
The study was retrospective and included consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria: diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy or left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy and left ventricular ejection fraction less than 35%. Cardiac indices were documented, and clinical outcomes were followed for 5 years.

Results:
This study included 21 patients with depressed left ventricular ejection fraction due to dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 11) or left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (n = 10), treated either with anti-congestion medication alone or in combination with pulmonary artery banding. The groups treated with pulmonary artery banding showed significant improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction compared to controls (ANOVA, p = 0.0002), with no major adverse events. In the subgroup with left ventricular non-compaction, pulmonary artery banding led to significant improvement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.00002) and significant reductions in the Z scores of left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (p = 0.0002) and of end-diastolic volume (p = 0.004).

Conclusions:
Pulmonary artery banding appears to be a viable strategy for improving heart function in patients with non-compaction and dilated cardiomyopathy and depressed left ventricular ejection fraction. While pulmonary artery banding demonstrated more pronounced benefits in the subgroup with non-compaction cardiomyopathy, significantly enhancing cardiac restoration indices throughout the follow-up period, warranting further investigation in larger studies.
The sacred gun: the religious and magical elements of America's gun culture
Authors: Froese Paul , Li Ruiqian , Mencken F. Carson 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Gun culture is properly measured by a population's emotional and symbolic attachment to guns and not by rates of gun ownership. Using data from the Baylor Religion Survey (wave 6), we find that nearly all gun owners feel that guns provide them with a physical sense of security (Gun Security), but a distinct and crucial sub-set of owners express an additional and strong attachment to their weapons (Gun Sanctity). Gun Sanctity measures the extent to which owners think their guns make them more patriotic, respected, in control, and valued by their family and community. We propose that Gun Sanctity is a form of quasi-religious or magical thinking in which an object is imbued with unseen powers. To assess this proposal, we look at the extent to which gun ownership, Gun Security, and Gun Sanctity are related to traditional religion and various forms of magical thinking, namely, (a) conspiratorialism, (b) the belief that prayer can fix financial and health problems, and (c) support for Christian Statism, a form of American theocracy. We find that Gun Sanctity is highly predictive of different forms of magical thinking but is often unrelated to more traditional religious practices and beliefs.
Quantifying Climate‐Induced Changes in the Tibetan Plateau's Hydrologic Cycle Through Atmospheric Moisture Depletion and Restoration Times
Authors: Ayantobo Olusola O. , Wei Jiahua 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThis study examines the effects of atmospheric moisture dynamics on the Tibetan Plateau's hydrologic cycle, focusing on moisture depletion (, removal through precipitation) and restoration (, restoration through evaporation) times. We used a water budget approach within the Eulerian framework, utilizing ERA‐Interim data and 20 CMIP6 models, to analyze spatiotemporal variations, trends, and abrupt changes in and for the periods 2026–2050, 2051–2070, and 2071–2100, relative to 1979–2019, under the SSP245 and SSP585 scenarios. Sensitivities to local warming are expressed as relative changes per degree Kelvin (K). Results show that as temperatures rise, atmospheric moisture content increases more rapidly than precipitation and evaporation, intensifying the hydrological cycle. This is reflected in moisture sensitivity, with stronger responses to temperature changes (7.49%, 7.34%, 7.52%/K) compared to precipitation (2.62%, 3.46%, 3.99%/K) and evaporation (2.73, 3.24, 3.40%/K) across near‐, mid‐, and long‐term periods. Area‐averaged and are 9.5 and 17.1 days, respectively, with a projected 15.7% and 18.8% increase by 2100. Sensitivities of and to warming are 4.66%, 3.46%, 2.90%/K and 4.55%, 3.69%, 3.48%/K over the near‐, mid‐, and long‐term periods. Increased suggests slower moisture restoration due to reduced evaporation rates or limited surface moisture, while increased indicates slower moisture removal due to less frequent rainfall. These changes may lead to a drier atmosphere, reduced cloud formation, and increased vegetation water stress, potentially exacerbating drought conditions. This research enhances the understanding of moisture recycling in the Tibetan Plateau's hydrologic cycle and its climate‐induced changes.

Abstract
With increasing availability of genetic tests, it is important to consider differences in testing patterns between population subgroups. We examined self-reported genetic testing among 45,061 participants of the Australian population-based 45 and Up Study, testing for associations with sociodemographic and health characteristics (multivariable logistic regression). 9.2% of participants reported ever having genetic testing; 3.9% reported disease-related testing, 5.2% non-disease-related testing, 0.7% both disease-related and non-disease-related testing. Disease-related genetic testing was strongly associated with younger age, female sex, history of cancers and cardiovascular disease, and cancer family history. Disease-related testing was also strongly associated with higher education (university versus school certificate: adjusted OR [aOR] = 1.50 [95%CI:1.29–1.75]; certificate/diploma versus school certificate: aOR = 1.40 [95%CI:1.20–1.63]); there was suggestive evidence for association with higher household income ($AUD90,000+ versus <$AUD30,000: aOR = 1.22 [95%CI:1.02–1.46]), which strengthened when not adjusting for education (aOR = 1.34 [95%CI:1.13–1.60]). These results suggest further work on ensuring equitable access is needed to prevent potential health inequities.

Abstract

Background
The At Risk Mental State (ARMS) (also known as the Ultra or Clinical High Risk) criteria identify individuals at high risk for psychotic disorder. However, there is a need to improve prediction as only about 18% of individuals meeting these criteria develop a psychosis with 12-months. We have developed and internally validated a prediction model using characteristics that could be used in routine practice.

Methods
We conducted a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis, followed by focus groups with clinicians and service users to ensure that identified factors were suitable for routine practice. The model was developed using logistic regression with backwards selection and an individual participant dataset. Model performance was evaluated via discrimination and calibration. Bootstrap resampling was used for internal validation.

Results
We received data from 26 studies contributing 3739 individuals; 2909 from 20 of these studies, of whom 359 developed psychosis, were available for model building. Age, functioning, disorders of thought content, perceptual abnormalities, disorganised speech, antipsychotic medication, cognitive behavioural therapy, depression and negative symptoms were associated with transition to psychosis. The final prediction model included disorders of thought content, disorganised speech and functioning. Discrimination of 0.68 (0.5-1 scale; 1=perfect discrimination) and calibration of 0.91 (0-1 scale; 1=perfect calibration) showed the model had fairly good predictive ability.

Discussion
The statistically robust prediction model, built using the largest dataset in the field to date, could be used to guide frequency of monitoring and enable rational use of health resources following assessment of external validity and clinical utility.
Heterogeneous model for superdiffusive movement of dense core vesicles in C. elegans
Authors: Gavrilova Anna , Korabel Nickolay , Allan Victoria J. , Fedotov Sergei 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Transport of dense core vesicles (DCVs) in neurons is crucial for distributing molecules like neuropeptides and growth factors. We studied the experimental trajectories of dynein-driven directed movement of DCVs in the ALA neuron in C. elegans over a duration of up to 6 seconds. We analysed the DCV movement in three strains of C. elegans: (1) with normal kinesin-1 function, (2) with reduced function in kinesin light chain 2 (KLC-2), and (3) a null mutation in kinesin light chain 1 (KLC-1). We find that DCVs move superdiffusively with displacement variance
$$var(x) \sim t^2$$
in all three strains with low reversal rates and frequent immobilization of DCVs. The distribution of DCV displacements fits a beta-binomial distribution with the mean and the variance following linear and quadratic growth patterns, respectively. We propose a simple heterogeneous random walk model to explain the observed superdiffusive retrograde transport behaviour of DCV movement. This model involves a random probability with the beta density for a DCV to resume its movement or remain in the same position. To validate our model further, we measure the first passage time for a DCV to reach a certain threshold for the first time. According to the model, the first passage time distribution should follow a beta-negative binomial distribution with the same parameters as the DCV displacement distributions. Our experimental data confirm this prediction.
Integration of Euclidean and path distances in hippocampal maps
Authors: Ottink Loes , de Haas Naomi , Doeller Christian F. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The hippocampus is a key region for forming mental maps of our environment. These maps represent spatial information such as distances between landmarks. A cognitive map can allow for flexible inference of spatial relationships that have never been directly experienced before. Previous work has shown that the human hippocampus encodes distances between locations, but it is unclear how Euclidean and path distances are distinguished. In this study, participants performed an object-location task in a virtual environment. We combined functional magnetic resonance imaging with representational similarity analysis to test how Euclidean and path distances are represented in the hippocampus. We observe that hippocampal neural pattern similarity for objects scales with distance between object locations, and suggest that the hippocampus integrates Euclidean and path distances. One key characteristic of cognitive maps is their adaptive and flexible nature. We therefore subsequently modified path distances between objects using roadblocks in the environment. We found that hippocampal pattern similarity between objects adapted as a function of these changes in path distance, selectively in route learners but not in map learners. Taken together, our study supports the idea that the hippocampus creates integrative and flexible cognitive maps.
