Migrant services and the reconfiguration of social reproduction as capital accumulation
Authors: Glick Schiller Nina 
Published: August 2024

AbstractMuch of past feminist theorization of social reproduction has concentrated on the domestic sphere. However, in multiple domains such as education, childcare, elder care, health care, the delivery of goods, and migrant settlement, first the state and non-profit organizations and increasingly corporate profit-making service industries emerged as significant providers. In this transformed world of social reproduction, the initial query of feminist theorists about the relationship between social reproduction and capital accumulation must again be addressed. This return to a theorization of social reproduction in what is often considered the humanitarian sector of capitalist economies must encompass the labor of precarious workers and unpaid volunteers. Building on but going beyond the feminist debate about social reproduction, this paper explores the relationship between the public–private domain of service delivery and capital accumulation in migrants’ services. In so many instances, humanitarian activities in sectors such as migrant services have become the local face of a multiscalar migration industry. Through an exploration of the delivery of migrant services in a disempowered city in eastern Germany, the paper explicates the dynamics through which social reproduction activities are commoditized and are increasingly linked to locations and mechanisms of capital accumulation through the extraction of surplus value.

AbstractDBL is a novel pedagogical approach intended to improve students’ conditional knowledge and problem-solving skills by exposing them to a sequence of branching learning decisions. The DBL software provided students with ample opportunities to engage in the expert decision-making processes involved in complex problem-solving and to receive just-in-time instruction and scaffolds at each decision point. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of decision-based learning (DBL) on undergraduate students’ learning performance in introductory physics courses as well as the mediating roles of cognitive load and self-testing for such effects. We used a quasi-experimental posttest design across two sections of an online introductory physics course including a total N = 390 participants. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, DBL instruction did not have a direct effect on cognitive load and had no indirect effect on student performance through cognitive load. Results also indicated that while DBL did not directly impact students’ physics performance, self-testing positively mediated the relationship between DBL and student performance. Our findings underscore the importance of students’ use of self-testing which plays a crucial role when engaging with DBL as it can influence effort input towards the domain task and thereby optimize learning performance.
Perspectives on Teachers’ Work in Australian Early Childhood Education and Care Settings: Evidence and Ecology
Authors: Harper Erin , McGrath-Champ Susan , Wilson Rachel 
Published: August 2024

AbstractECEC educators play a vital role in educating and caring for children during the first five years of life, a critical period for learning, growth, and development. University-trained early childhood teachers make a particularly significant contribution to overall service quality. This exploratory interview study brings an ecological lens to the perspectives of nine Australian university-trained early childhood teachers on the nature and quantity of their work and workload. As part of the mixed methods Early Learning Work Matters project, this Phase II interview study supports findings from the prior international systematic review that work in ECEC is complex and demanding. Interviews yielded new findings indicating the potential changing nature of early childhood teachers’ work, some of whom reported little to no capacity to focus on service quality. Concerningly, analysis revealed burdensome influences at all ecological levels, with only a few uplifting microsystems which were inconsistently experienced by participants.
Testing a Psychological Model of Post-Pandemic Academic Cheating
Authors: Johnson-Clements Tiana P. , Curtis Guy J. , Clare Joseph 
Published: August 2024

AbstractConcerns over students engaging in various forms of academic misconduct persist, especially with the post-COVID19 rise in online learning and assessment. Research has demonstrated a clear role of the personality trait psychopathy in cheating, yet little is known about why this relationship exists. Building on the research by Curtis et al. (Personality and Individual Differences, 185, 111277, 2022a), this study tested an extended Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model, including psychopathy as a precursor to attitudes and subjective norms, and measures of anticipated moral emotions (shame and guilt), to predict cheating intentions and cheating behaviours. A cross-sectional survey was administered online to university students from around the globe (n = 257). Results from a serial mediation analysis revealed that psychopathy predicted academic misconduct behaviours indirectly through attitudes, subjective norms, anticipated guilt (but not anticipated shame), and intentions. These findings indicate that cheating may be reduced by modifying attitudes to cheating, subjective norms regarding cheating, and anticipated feelings of guilt related to engaging in academic misconduct. In addition, the results revealed high rates of several forms of cheating, particularly in unsupervised online tests, which have been used more widely since the COVID-19 pandemic. This finding raises concerns regarding the poor security of such assessments.
Macrophage energy metabolism in cardiometabolic disease

Published: August 2024

Abstract
In a rapidly expanding body of literature, the major role of energy metabolism in determining the response and polarization status of macrophages has been examined, and it is currently a very active area of research. The metabolic flux through different metabolic pathways in the macrophage is interconnected and complex and could influence the polarization of macrophages. Earlier studies suggested glucose flux through cytosolic glycolysis is a prerequisite to trigger the pro-inflammatory phenotypes of macrophages while proposing that fatty acid oxidation is essential to support anti-inflammatory responses by macrophages. However, recent studies have shown that this understanding is oversimplified and that the metabolic control of macrophage polarization is highly complex and not fully defined yet. In this review, we systematically reviewed and summarized the literature regarding the role of energy metabolism in controlling macrophage activity and how that might be altered in cardiometabolic diseases, namely heart failure, obesity, and diabetes. We critically appraised the experimental studies and methodologies in the published studies. We also highlighted the challenging concepts in macrophage metabolism and identified several research questions yet to be addressed in future investigations.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Meningiomas classified as grade 2–3 according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) require combined surgery and in most cases radiotherapy (RT). Their initial management was evaluated using the Dutch Brain Tumour Registry.

Methods
The study included 393 patients aged ≥ 18 years with newly diagnosed meningioma WHO grade 2–3 between 2016 and 2021. Factors associated with adjuvant RT < 6 months following surgery were identified using logistic regression analyses, thereby accounting for variation between CNS regional tumour boards through mixed-effect modelling. This variation was further assessed by funnel plots for case-mix adjusted ratios of RT across tumour boards. The association with patients’ survival at 5 years was evaluated with inverse probability-weighted accelerated failure (Weibull) models. Analyses were performed on multiple imputed datasets (m = 10) to account for missing data.

Results
Adjuvant RT was administered to 22.2% (59/266) of patients with WHO grade 2 meningioma following a total resection, to 61.1% (58/95) following a partial resection, and to 68.8% (22/32) of patients with WHO grade 3 meningioma (61.5% after partial and 73.7% after total resection). RT was associated with grade 3, partial resection, bone invasion, and absence of multiple lesions. Management varied across tumour boards for grade 2 meningioma following total resection. Adjuvant RT was associated with survival benefit in case of grade 3 disease (hazard ratio: 0.40, 95%-confidence interval: 0.16–0.95, p = 0.04).

Conclusion
This national review revealed variation across CNS regional tumour boards in the management of grade 2 meningioma following total resection, and demonstrated survival benefit of adjuvant RT in grade 3 meningioma.
Phenomenal transparency and the boundary of cognition
Authors: Hauser Julian , Naeem Hadeel 
Published: August 2024

AbstractPhenomenal transparency was once widely believed to be necessary for cognitive extension. Recently, this claim has come under attack, with a new consensus coalescing around the idea that transparency is neither necessary for internal nor extended cognitive processes. We take these recent critiques as an opportunity to refine the concept of transparency relevant for cognitive extension. In particular, we highlight that transparency concerns an agent's employment of a resource – and that employment is compatible with an agent consciously apprehending (or attending to) a resource. This means it is possible for an object to be transparent and opaque to an agent, even at a single moment time. Once we understand transparency in this way, the detractors' claims lose their bite, and existing arguments for transparency's necessity for cognitive extension return to apply with full force.

Published: August 2024

AbstractFish behavior is important to consider when developing selective fishing gear. In studies designed to investigate the size selective properties of towed fishing gears such as trawls, fish behavior is mainly documented by underwater video recordings. Because fishing gear can be operated at great depths or in other low light environments, artificial light is often required for underwater recordings. However, artificial light can influence fish behavior, which casts doubt on the validity of behavioral observations obtained in the presence of artificial light. However, removing artificial light disables video recordings and the possibility to study fish behavior in relation to selectivity devices towed fishing gears in low light environments. To date, little is known about the extent to which artificial light used for video observations affects fish behavior with respect to fishing gear. Therefore, we conducted fishing trials in the Barents Sea demersal trawl fishery to assess the effect of light sources on fish behavior by using size selectivity results in towed fishing gears. We found that the behavior of cod (Gadus morhua) was unaffected by the light sources, whereas the behavior of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), saithe (Pollachius virens) and redfish (Sebastesspp.) significantly changed when red light and white light were employed. Our results also demonstrated significant differences in fish behavior between white and red light.
A Pore-Level Study of Dense-Phase CO2 Foam Stability in the Presence of Oil

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe ability of foam to reduce CO2 mobility in CO2 sequestration and CO2 enhanced oil recovery processes relies on maintaining foam stability in the reservoir. Foams can destabilize in the presence of oil due to mechanisms impacting individual lamellae. Few attempts have been made to measure the stability of CO2 foams in the presence of oil in a realistic pore network at reservoir pressure. Utilizing lab-on-a-chip technology, the pore-level stability of dense-phase CO2 foam in the presence of a miscible and an immiscible oil was investigated. A secondary objective was to determine the impact of increasing surfactant concentration and nanoparticles on foam stability.In the absence of oil, all surfactant-based foaming solutions generated fine-textured and strong foam that was less stable both when increasing surfactant concentrations and when adding nanoparticles. Ostwald ripening was the primary destabilization mechanism both in the absence of oil and in the presence of immiscible oil. Moreover, foam was less stable in the presence of miscible oil, compared to immiscible oil, where the primary destabilization mechanism was lamellae rupture. Overall, direct pore-scale observations of dense-phase CO2 foam in realistic pore network revealed foam destabilization mechanisms at high-pressure conditions.
A novel approach to study ascorbic acid oxidation using hexavalent chromium species—theoretical and practical perspectives of the use of potentiometric titration technique
Authors: Pilarski Bogusław , Wyrzykowski Dariusz 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This paper highlights the advantages of using the potentiometric titration technique as a valuable tool for studying the oxidation reaction of ascorbic acid by hexavalent chromium species in aqueous solutions. Particular attention was paid to the method of determining diagnostic points allowing the quantification of ascorbic acid in the sample under study. Additionally, the influence of experimental conditions, specifically the pH of the system and the concentration of the reactants, on the type of hexavalent chromium species involved in the interaction with ascorbic acid was analyzed. It has been shown that the method presented provides a simple, cost-effective, and rapid tool that can be widely used for the direct determination of ascorbic acid.
From zero-intelligence to Bayesian learning: the effect of rationality on market efficiency
Authors: Giachini Daniele , Mousavi Shabnam , Ottaviani Matteo 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the relationship between individual rationality and price informative efficiency studying a prediction market model where agents repeatedly bet on the occurrence of a binary event following their subjective beliefs. We define individual rationality in terms of the amount of past observations used to update beliefs. In this way, a wide spectrum of rationality levels emerges, ranging from zero-intelligence to Bayesian learning. We show that the relationship between individual rationality and price informative efficiency is nonlinear and U-shaped. We argue that the results emerge from the particular interaction of two evolutionary forces operating at different levels: the market selection mechanism that moves wealth toward more accurate agents and the individual learning process that moves posterior probabilities over models depending on observed realizations.
Cardiovascular imaging in cardio-oncology

Published: August 2024

AbstractAdvances in cancer treatment have improved in patient survival rate. On the other hand, management of cardiovascular complications has been increasingly required in cancer patients. Thus, cardio-oncology has attracted the attention by both oncologists and cardiologists. Cardiovascular imaging has played a key role for non-invasive assessment of cardiovascular alterations complimentary to biomarkers and clinical assessment. Suitable imaging selection and interpretation may allow early diagnosis of cardiovascular injury with potential implications for therapeutic management and improved outcomes after cancer therapy. Echocardiography has been commonly used to evaluate cardiac dysfunction in cardio-oncology area. Cardiac CT is valuable for assessing structural abnormalities of the myocardium, coronary arteries, and aorta. Molecular imaging has an important role in the assessment of the pathophysiology and future treatment strategy of cardiovascular dysfunction. Cardiac MRI is valuable for characterization of myocardial tissue. PET and SPECT molecular imaging has potential roles for quantitative assessment of cardiovascular disorders. Particularly, FDG-PET is considered as an elegant approach for simultaneous assessment of tumor response to cancer therapy and early detection of possible cardiovascular involvement as well. This review describes the promising potential of these non-invasive cardiovascular imaging modalities in cardio-oncology.
Building on and contributing to sustainability transitions research with qualitative system dynamics

Published: August 2024

AbstractThis paper explores the novel connection between qualitative system dynamics and sustainability transitions research. As the urgency for sustainable solutions intensifies, this interdisciplinary combination offers a promising avenue for addressing complex sustainability challenges. We reflect on recent research projects to establish the value of combining the two fields. We delve into the methodological and theoretical synergies, using examples to illustrate how the two fields can mutually benefit from each other. We find that qualitative system dynamics complements other sustainability transitions research approaches by encouraging (a) more inductive research that results in a broader system boundary than traditional sustainability transitions research frameworks and (b) higher endogeneity, which leads to a better appreciation of the feedback mechanisms that determine whether transitions succeed or not. This leads to an explicit reflection on assumptions that otherwise might remain hidden, and more explicit conceptualizations of the feedback mechanisms driving and hindering sustainability transitions and recommendations on navigating seemingly opposing interests that diminish when seeing the whole system. We also propose how future research can contribute to further cross-fertilization between the two fields, including the need for explicit positioning in terms of starting points, considering different philosophical paradigms, exploring combinations with other analytical approaches to foster change, and increasing reflection on the part of researchers, particularly in participative modes. We argue that the fusion of qualitative system dynamics with sustainability transitions research can significantly enhance our understanding and ability to manage complex sustainability issues, substantially contributing to both academic discourse and practical applications in sustainability transitions.
Organ Markets, Options, and an Over-Inclusiveness Objection: On Rippon’s Argument
Authors: Thaysen J. Damgaard , Sønderholm J. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract Human organs available for transplant are in short supply. One way to increase the supply of organs consists in legalizing a live donor market. Such a market is, however, controversial. This article is about an objection to live donor organ markets made by Simon Rippon. Rippon’s objection is that the presence of a market option creates new social and legal pressures that harm the poor. Legalizing the option of selling your organs transforms into a harmful, and morally indefensible, social, and legal pressure to sell on the financially desperate. This article defends the conclusion that Rippon’s argument fails as an objection to live donor organ markets. It fails because it has implausibly expansive implications about which markets are morally problematic. In short, Rippon’s argument proves too much. Sections one and two introduce Rippon’s argument. Sections three and four contain the argument against Rippon. The main argumentative move is that the features of an organ market that, according to Rippon, justify a ban on such a market are features that also characterize several other markets that are normally considered unproblematic, for example, markets where individuals sell their labour abroad in jobs that are dangerous. So, if an organ market should be legally impermissible, so should these labour markets. Section five considers several objections to the argument against Rippon. It is argued that these objections fail. Section six is a conclusion that sums up the findings of the article.

AbstractNon-invasive respiratory support, namely, non-invasive ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure, and high-flow nasal cannula, has been increasingly used worldwide to treat acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, giving the benefits of keeping spontaneous breathing preserved. In this scenario, monitoring and controlling respiratory drive could be helpful to avoid patient self-inflicted lung injury and promptly identify those patients that require an upgrade to invasive mechanical ventilation. In this review, we first describe the physiological components affecting respiratory drive to outline the risks associated with its hyperactivation. Further, we analyze and compare the leading strategies implemented for respiratory drive monitoring and discuss the sedative drugs and the non-pharmacological approaches used to modulate respiratory drive during non-invasive respiratory support. Refining the available techniques and rethinking our therapeutic and monitoring targets can help critical care physicians develop a personalized and minimally invasive approach.

Education as Liberation: Using Archaeology to Serve Modern Working Class Needs
Authors: Westmont V. Camille 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe working classes have been overlooked as a population that could benefit from social-justice-oriented critical public archaeology approaches. The Anthracite Heritage Program sought to address this gap by targeting educational attainment among students in the historically working class, chronically underserved northeastern Pennsylvania region. Public archaeology initiatives to promote interest and knowledge about undergraduate education revealed that the archaeologists’ greatest contribution was our own (class-based) knowledge of the intricacies of university admissions, funding, and life in the United States. In this way, the project ended up serving underserved communities in the ways that they needed help the most: securing the knowledge to attain class mobility.
