“Another Logic is known”: Benedetto Croce's assessment of “Indian Logic”
Authors: Pizzichemi Lorenzo Leonardo 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis essay aims to shed new light on the theoretical pertinence of classical Indian logic and epistemology in Benedetto Croce's criticism of Western Aristotelian and modern logic. As a matter of fact, Croce gave a positive and extraordinarily enterprising evaluation of “Indian Logic” in his review of Hermann Jacobi's Indische Logik (1905) and in his book Logic as the Science of the Pure Concept (1996 [1909]). Yet Croce's significant and considerable evaluation of “Indian Logic” has remained neglected until today. This essay tries to clear the field of some prejudices that misled scholarly research on Croce and Indian philosophy, and it glosses in detail the “neglected” judgment on “Indian Logic” in Croce's Logic. In doing so, it critically discusses some epistemological questions starting from Croce's philosophy, such as the character of “natural induction,” the relationship between language and thought, and the connection between historical languages and logical forms.
Methodologies and communities in comparative philosophy
Authors: Angle Stephen C. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThere is considerable disagreement and even confusion over what forms of border‐crossing philosophizing are most appropriate to our times. Are comparative, cross‐cultural, intercultural, blended, and fusion philosophy all the same thing? Some critics find what they call “comparative philosophy” to be moribund or problematically colonialist; others assert that projects like “fusion philosophy” are intellectually irresponsible and colonialist in their own way. Can we nonetheless identify a distinctive project of comparative philosophy and say why it is important? Based on a broad survey of approaches, this essay offers schematic answers to these questions, clarifies some persistent confusions, and stresses the constitutive gamble that lies at the heart of all comparative philosophy. There are several different ways to do comparative philosophy well; which method to employ depends on the values that motivate and the pragmatic situation that frames one's inquiry, and on the ways in which one or more communities receive and respond to one's contribution.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveTortuous microvessels are characteristic of microvascular remodeling associated with numerous physiological and pathological scenarios. Three‐dimensional (3D) hemodynamics in tortuous microvessels influenced by red blood cells (RBCs), however, are largely unknown, and important questions remain. Is blood viscosity influenced by vessel tortuosity? How do RBC dynamics affect wall shear stress (WSS) patterns and the near‐wall cell‐free layer (CFL) over a range of conditions? The objective of this work was to parameterize hemodynamic characteristics unique to a tortuous microvessel.MethodsRBC‐resolved simulations were performed using an immersed boundary method‐based 3D fluid dynamics solver. A representative tortuous microvessel was selected from a stimulated angiogenic network obtained from imaging of the rat mesentery and digitally reconstructed for the simulations. The representative microvessel was a venule with a diameter of approximately 20 μm. The model assumes a constant diameter along the vessel length and does not consider variations due to endothelial cell shapes or the endothelial surface layer.ResultsMicrovessel tortuosity was observed to increase blood apparent viscosity compared to a straight tube by up to 26%. WSS spatial variations in high curvature regions reached 23.6 dyne/cm2 over the vessel cross‐section. The magnitudes of WSS and CFL thickness variations due to tortuosity were strongly influenced by shear rate and negligibly influenced by tube hematocrit levels.ConclusionsNew findings from this work reveal unique tortuosity‐dependent hemodynamic characteristics over a range of conditions. The results provide new thought‐provoking information to better understand the contribution of tortuous vessels in physiological and pathological processes and help improve reduced‐order models.
Sister Gertrude Morgan: A Ministry of Divergence—Exhibit review
Authors: Armstrong Lisa Katina 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe discourse around Black History in Florida's public schools and public spaces has been notably controversial and in high demand in recent years. Black museums are few in the Tampa Bay area, making the Woodson African American History Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, a community treasure. The Woodson Museum partnered with the Montague Collection, launching Women's History Month in March 2024 by featuring the “Sister Gertrude Morgan: A Ministry of Divergence” exhibition. This exhibit centers on religion, rhythms, and artistry. Sister Gertrude Morgan was an African American, New Orleans‐based, multidisciplinary artist and street evangelist from the late 1950s to the mid‐1970s. Morgan repurposed the streets into her muse, medium, pulpit, and exhibition space in a way that can serve as a Black museum praxis framework.

Published: July 2024

AbstractMosquito traps, historically used for surveillance and research, have gained prominence as a tool for mosquito control, amidst concern over the environmental impact and increased resistance to insecticide‐based methods. In this study, we tested the effectiveness of a mass trapping barrier design with two types of traps, Mosquito Magnet (MM) traps and BG‐Protector (BGP) traps. This experiment was conducted in three coastal camping areas in southern France between summer and autumn 2022, where the presence of floodwater mosquito species with anthropophilic preferences like Aedes caspius represents a year‐long nuisance. MM traps were set around the campsite as a barrier to interfere with mosquitoes from entering the campsites, whereas BGP traps were set within the campsites, with the aim of diverting mosquitoes away from humans at peak activity hours. Over 210,000 mosquitoes of 11 species from 4 genera were collected by both trap types across treatment campsites, with no significant differences in mosquito community samplings between BGP and MM traps. Barrier traps effectively targeted Ae. caspius, reducing total mosquito abundance in two of the three study sites by 34% and 55%. This study provides valuable insights into the efficacy and feasibility of using mass trapping barriers as a complementary control strategy for mosquito species in wetlands.

Published: July 2024

AbstractFusobacterium nucleatum, a gram‐negative anaerobic bacterium abundantly found in the human oral cavity, is widely recognized as a key pathobiont responsible for the initiation and progression of periodontal diseases due to its remarkable aggregative capabilities. Numerous clinical studies have linked F. nucleatum with unfavorable prognostic outcomes in various malignancies. In further research, scholars have partially elucidated the mechanisms underlying F. nucleatum’s impact on various types of cancer, thus gaining a certain comprehension of the role played by F. nucleatum in cancer. In this comprehensive review, we present an in‐depth synthesis of the interplay between F. nucleatum and different cancers, focusing on aspects such as tumor initiation, metastasis, chemoresistance, and modulation of the tumor immune microenvironment and immunotherapy. The implications for cancer diagnosis and treatment are also summarized. The objective of this review is to enhance our comprehension of the intricate relationship between F. nucleatum and oncogenic pathogenesis, while emphasizing potential therapeutic strategies.

Published: July 2024

AbstractPurposeTo investigate axial elongation (AE) and changes in relative peripheral refraction (RPR) in anisomyopic children undergoing orthokeratology (ortho‐k).MethodsBilateral anisomyopic children, 7–12 years of age, were treated with ortho‐k. Axial length (AL) and RPR, from 30° nasal (N30°) to 30° temporal (T30°), were measured at baseline and every 6 months over the study period. AE, changes in RPR and changes in the interocular AL difference were determined over time.ResultsTwenty‐six of the 33 subjects completed the 2‐year study. The AE of the higher myopic (HM) eyes (at least 1.50 D more myopia than the other eye) (0.26 ± 0.29 mm) was significantly smaller than for the less myopic (LM) eyes (0.50 ± 0.27 mm; p = 0.003), leading to a reduction in the interocular difference in AL (p = 0.001). Baseline RPR measurements in the HM eyes were relatively more hyperopic at T30°, N20° and N30° (p ≤ 0.02) and greater myopic shifts were observed at T20° (p < 0.001), T30° (p < 0.001), N20° (p = 0.02) and N30° (p = 0.01) after lens wear. After 2 years of ortho‐k lens wear, temporal–nasal asymmetry increased significantly, being more myopic at the temporal locations in both eyes (p < 0.001), while AE was associated with the change in RPR at N20° (β = 0.134, p = 0.01). The interocular difference in AE was also positively associated with the interocular difference in RPR change at N30° (β = 0.111, p = 0.02).ConclusionsOrtho‐k slowed AE in bilateral anisomyopia, with slower growth in the HM eyes leading to a reduction in interocular AL differences. After ortho‐k, RPR changed from hyperopia to myopia, with greater changes induced in the HM eyes, and slower AE was associated with a more myopic shift in RPR, especially in the nasal field of both eyes.
Nietzsche on suffering and morality
Authors: Shaver Robert 
Published: July 2024

AbstractNietzsche claims that suffering is needed for achievement. Morality, he thinks, aims to end suffering, and so would end achievement. I argue that at best some achievements are partly caused by suffering. Nietzsche could get a more secure connection between suffering and achievement by arguing that some achievements are constituted in part by suffering. But in both the causal and constitutive cases, moralists do not condemn inflicting on oneself the suffering involved in achievement. Nietzsche could instead argue, more simply, that morality is mistaken to think suffering is bad. He could deploy a ‘conditionality’ view of organic wholes, on which the value of suffering changes when part of an achievement, to argue that in some cases, suffering is good. I argue that here the conditionality view is less plausible than Moore's view of organic wholes, on which suffering would remain bad.

AbstractBoxwood blight is a highly invasive disease, but studies on host–pathogen–environment interactions are rare because the initial research emphasis has been on developing resistant cultivars and chemical control of the disease. We used generalized additive models to investigate weather variables driving boxwood blight epidemics in field trials conducted between 2006 and 2020. Briefly, three or four replicate rows with 10 boxwood plants per row were planted in 0.75 m2 plots. Plants were artificially inoculated in 2006, while those in subsequent years were naturally infected with inoculum left over from previous trials. Disease severity was assessed by estimating the percentage of leaves blighted, including fallen leaves. There was a significant positive main effect of mean rainfall per rainy day, daily minimum temperatures and daily minimum relative humidity on disease severity observed over individual field trial periods. There was a significant negative interaction effect of mean rainfall per rainy day and daily maximum wind speed, and daily minimum relative humidity and daily minimum temperature on disease severity. Higher disease severity was associated with higher mean rainfall per rainy day and lower daily maximum wind speed. Likewise, an increase in daily minimum relative humidity at lower daily minimum temperatures was associated with a greater increase in disease severity than at higher temperatures, suggesting that higher temperatures resulted in lower humidity that led, in turn, to less disease severity. The implications of our findings for forecasting models and conservation of boxwood are discussed.
Exploring young adults' experiences with food allergy during their teenage years: A practice research study

Published: July 2024

AbstractIntroductionSymptoms of anxiety, eating disorders and social isolation are prevalent among teenagers with food allergy compared to peers without. Treatment of teenagers with food allergy focus on preventing anaphylactic reactions, with little attention to promoting social and emotional well‐being. The aim of the study was to explore young adults' perspectives on everyday life with food allergy during their teenage years to improve future clinical practice.MethodsCritical psychological practice research. During a 2‐day camp the perspectives of 10 young adults (18–23 years) were explored through participant observation and informal interviews. Three follow up interviews were conducted. A co‐researcher group discussed preliminary results, clinical challenges and ways forward.ResultsBeing together with peers with food allergy was crucial, fostering belonging and normalisation. The shift in responsibility of managing the risk feels overwhelming and stressful during teen age. Self‐understanding was influenced when managing food allergy in social contexts, inducing feelings of burden and isolation. Acceptance and understanding from social relations became important for all participants, and they all underlined desire for being viewed as individuals rather than being defined by their allergy.ConclusionSupport from other peers with food allergy is crucial for the participants. Transition to independently managing risks introduces uncertainty and social constraints, affecting self‐understanding and interactions. Clinicians should prioritise peer support and empower teenagers in managing the risk and psychosocial challenges.
The role of social support and social identification in challenge and threat, perceived stress, and life satisfaction

Published: July 2024

AbstractIndividualistic appraisals have dominated contemporary stress theory and have too often overlooked socially derived perceptions of group resources. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of social support and social identification on individuals' challenge and threat appraisal, perceived stress, and life satisfaction across a range of group contexts. An online survey was completed by 480 participants across four groups: students (n = 110), workplace employees (n = 126), team sport athletes (n = 116), and group exercisers (n = 128) on one occasion. We found a positive relationship between social support and social identification along with significant associations of these social factors being positively related with self‐efficacy, control, approach, and challenge, while negatively related with threat. Avoidance, along with challenge and threat was positively associated with perceived stress, while self‐efficacy was negatively associated with perceived stress. Further, control, self‐efficacy, social identification, and social support was positively associated with life satisfaction, while approach, threat, and perceived stress was negatively associated, with life satisfaction. Social identification also moderated the positive association between social support and life satisfaction. Overall, we found evidence for the resource appraisals outlined in contemporary theory being associated with both social support and social identification, along with perceived stress and life satisfaction across different group contexts. Therefore, when understanding individuals' stress responses and associated life satisfaction, research and practice should consider the combination of individual and social factors.
Design of the Cooling Water System Upgrade for 42 T Resistive Magnet at the CHMFL

Published: July 2024

Abstract
To meet the operation requirements of the 42 T resistive magnet which will be built by the Chinese High Magnetic Field Laboratory (CHMFL) in the future, the cooling water system needs to be upgraded accordingly. The cooling water system will improve its performance based on the existing cooling system. This article will make a detailed analysis of the system upgrading and transformation plan. In terms of refrigeration, to meet the requirements of larger refrigeration temperature difference, a new centrifugal chiller with large temperature difference will be added in series with the existing unit of refrigeration. With the increase in heat load, the system will connect a new plate heat exchanger in parallel on the basis of the original heat exchange capacity. However, the circulating cooling water flowrate of the 42 T resistive magnet is expected to exceed 1200 m3/h, the purification flowrate of the deionized water also needs to be upgraded, and the purification ratio is expected to reach more than 6%. In addition, the control system will be also combined with the new equipment and pipelines to realize a variety of chilled water storage and supply modes to better meet the operation of the new-built magnet.

ABSTRACT

The Southampton pneumococcal carriage study of children under 5 years old continued during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Here, we present data from October 2018 to March 2023 describing prevalence of pneumococci and other pathobionts during the winter seasons before, during, and after the introduction of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to prevent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission. Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from children attending outpatient clinics at a secondary care hospital and community healthcare sites. Pre-NPIs, in 2019/2020, the carriage prevalence of pneumococci at the hospital site was 32% (
n
= 161 positive/499 participants). During NPIs, this fell to 19% (
n
= 12/64), although based on fewer participants compared to previous years due to COVID-19 restrictions on health-care attendance. In 2021/2022, after NPIs had eased, prevalence rebounded to 33% (
n
= 15/46) [compared to NPIs period,
χ
2
(1,
N
= 110) =2.78,
P
= 0.09]. Carriage prevalence at community healthcare sites fell significantly from 27% (
n
= 127/470) in 2019/2020 to 19% during the NPI period (
n
= 44/228) in 2020/2021 [
χ
2
(1,
N
= 698) =4.95,
P
= 0.026]. No rebound was observed in 2021/2022 [19% (
n
= 56/288)]. However, in a multivariate logistic regression model, neither site had a significantly lower carriage prevalence during the NPI period compared to the post NPI period. A reduction in serotype diversity was observed in 2020/2021. Carriage of
Haemophilus influenzae
was particularly affected by NPIs with a significant reduction observed. In conclusion, among children under 5 years of age, transient, modest, and statistically non-significant alterations in carriage of both
Streptococcus pneumoniae
and
H. influenzae
were associated with SARS-CoV-2 NPIs.

IMPORTANCE

Streptococcus pneumoniae
(the pneumococcus) continues to be a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. Using our long-running pediatric study, we examined changes in pneumococcal carriage prevalence in nearly 3,000 children under the age of 5 years between the winters of 2018/2019 and 2022/2023. This period coincided with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic and, in particular, the implementation of national strategies to limit disease transmission in the UK. We observed a transient reduction of both
Streptococcus pneumoniae
and
Haemophilus influenzae
in these populations during this period of non-pharmaceutical interventions. This aligned with the reduction in invasive pneumococcal disease seen in the UK and is therefore a likely contributor to this phenomenon.

BackgroundThis cadaveric study aimed to analyze injectate spread to target nerves during a single-injection, ultrasound-guided intertransverse process block.MethodsAn ultrasound-guided intertransverse process block with three different injectate volumes was administered to 12 cadavers. Each hemithorax was subjected to computer-generated random allocation of 10, 15, or 20 mL ultrasound-guided, single-injection intertransverse process block at the T2 vertebral level. Latex dye solution was injected into each hemithorax in accordance with the allocated volume. The presence of dye at the nerve root in the sympathetic chain and intercostal nerves at various injection levels was examined via dissection.ResultsInjectate spread into the dorsal rami was observed in seven of eight (87.5%), seven of eight (87.5%), and all eight (100%) of the 10, 15, and 20 mL specimens, respectively. In all 20 mL specimens, consistent staining of the dorsal rami, spinal nerve, and dorsal root ganglion was observed.ConclusionsAn injectate volume of 20 mL was required for consistent staining of the dorsal rami, spinal nerve, and dorsal root ganglion in an intertransverse process block. Although an augmented injectate volume was associated with an increased likelihood of target nerve staining, consistent staining of the sympathetic ganglion, rami communicans, and ventral ramus was not observed, even at a volume of 20 mL. The current study presents initial findings suggesting that as opposed to a sympathetic ganglion block, a 20 mL intertransverse process block may act as a feasible substitute for dorsal root ganglion, spinal nerve, and medial branch blocks within a clinical context.
