Multi-layer Bundling as a New Approach for Determining Multi-scale Correlations Within a High-Dimensional Dataset
Authors: Fazli Mehran , Bertram Richard , Striegel Deborah A. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe growing complexity of biological data has spurred the development of innovative computational techniques to extract meaningful information and uncover hidden patterns within vast datasets. Biological networks, such as gene regulatory networks and protein-protein interaction networks, hold critical insights into biological features’ connections and functions. Integrating and analyzing high-dimensional data, particularly in gene expression studies, stands prominent among the challenges in deciphering these networks. Clustering methods play a crucial role in addressing these challenges, with spectral clustering emerging as a potent unsupervised technique considering intrinsic geometric structures. However, spectral clustering’s user-defined cluster number can lead to inconsistent and sometimes orthogonal clustering regimes. We propose the Multi-layer Bundling (MLB) method to address this limitation, combining multiple prominent clustering regimes to offer a comprehensive data view. We call the outcome clusters “bundles”. This approach refines clustering outcomes, unravels hierarchical organization, and identifies bridge elements mediating communication between network components. By layering clustering results, MLB provides a global-to-local view of biological feature clusters enabling insights into intricate biological systems. Furthermore, the method enhances bundle network predictions by integrating the bundle co-cluster matrix with the affinity matrix. The versatility of MLB extends beyond biological networks, making it applicable to various domains where understanding complex relationships and patterns is needed.
Re-territorialising skills? Insights from ethnography on solidarity-economy food activism
Authors: Grasseni Cristina 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe article addresses the role of citizens in setting up short food chains in the framework of the solidarity economy movement in Lombardy, Italy. On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork with solidarity economy activists and longitudinal ethnography (2009–2023), the article critically analyses solidarity-driven experimentations with local food systems, including direct bulk-buying from farmers and setting up a Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) to self-certify organic agriculture quality standards as attempts at (re)territorialising the food chain. This implies innovative relationships and practices connecting farmers and consumers in a role for citizens as ‘co-producers’. Hurdles and dilemmas about trust, skill, and transparency question which role citizens can take as levers of change. Addressing one of the questions posed in this special issue (“what is the place of citizens and collectives in innovative supply chains?”), the article reflects on what kind of skills are required, and perhaps lacking, for a more active involvement of citizens in ‘co-production’. The article focusses on (1) how trust between producer and consumer is supposed to be engendered in relations of proximity, (2) the reciprocal performance of expected roles among consumers and farmers, (3) the difficulties of evidencing reciprocal transparency without negotiating mutual reskilling.

AbstractThis research explored the creation of new bio-transfer films composed of Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium caseinate (SC), and purified anthocyanin extract from poinsettia leaves (PAE). The films underwent evaluation to assess their color, physical characteristics, surface texture, crystalline structure, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. Incorporating up to 0.8% of purified anthocyanin extract (PAE) into the film matrix resulted in an opaque red color (a* = 43.96) and increased the opacity to 3.42 A/mm. This addition also made the films less permeable to water vapor, with a permeability rating of 1.021 (× 10− 10 g.m− 1 s− 1 pa− 1). The film surfaces remained smooth and crack-free at lower concentrations, but became rougher when the PAE concentration reached 1.2%. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis indicated physical interactions between the PAE extract and the Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/sodium caseinate (SC) matrix. These films demonstrated strong thermal stability. Furthermore, the inclusion of PAE effectively stabilized the pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), and peroxide value (PV) of minced meat during cold storage compared with polypropylene (PP) and un covered samples (UC), showcasing its potential as an exceptional bio-transfer medium for anthocyanins. It was recommended that the utilization of anthocyanin-based bio-transfer films not only reduce minced meat loss during storage but also promotes sustainability efforts in food preservation.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Percutaneous renal biopsy, although essential for renal disease diagnosis, is associated with a number of post-biopsy complications ranging from gross haematuria to AV fistula to death. In this study, we carried out an active haematoma surveillance and attempted to correlate renal sonological parameters—kidney length, renal parenchymal changes, renal cortical and parenchymal thickness for their potential use in prediction of post-renal biopsy complications.

Methods
This was a prospective study done from April 2022 to April 2023 on all adult patients undergoing native or transplant kidney biopsy. Baseline clinical, laboratory and renal sonological parameters were noted prior to biopsy. USG-guided renal biopsy was done and any haematoma at 0 h, 12 h and 24 h post-biopsy noted. Biopsy complications including need for any interventions were noted.

Results
Out of the 240 patients enrolled in the study, 58.3% experienced post-biopsy complications. Among these, 5% of patients encountered major complications, with 3.33% necessitating medical intervention following renal biopsy procedures. A high percentage, 98.89%, exhibited hematoma formation within 12 h post-biopsy. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that a hematoma size exceeding 1.2 cm at the 12-h mark exhibited a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 71% in predicting the need for blood transfusion. Renal parenchymal changes were the most reliable sonological parameters for predicting post-biopsy complication on multivariate analysis.

Conclusion
The incidence of major complications requiring interventions following renal biopsy is notably low. Our study highlights the significance of renal sonological characteristics, including parenchymal thickness, cortical thickness and parenchymal changes, in predicting these complications. Furthermore, we emphasize the utility of hematoma surveillance immediately post-biopsy and at the 12 h, as a valuable tool for predicting the necessity of post-biopsy interventions. This approach can aid in efficiently triaging patients and determining the need for further observation post-renal biopsy.
Exploring causes and predictors of cyberbullying in gifted and non-gifted students: Academic success, psychological variables, parental and educators’ supervision, motivation, and reactions to cyber victimization

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to explore the motivation of cyberbullying behaviors, their reactions to these behaviors, and the predictors of cyberbullying sensibility in gifted and non-gifted students. The study reached 258 participants, including 102 gifted and 156 non-gifted students. This research is a descriptive survey model. The study performed descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, ordinal logistic regression analysis, and structural equation modeling to examine the status of the variables examined according to gifted and non-gifted students. The most important reason for cyberbullying behaviors in both gifted and non-gifted students was to take revenge, and the least important reason was to adapt. The most common reaction to cyber victimization is deleting shares or files that may cause harm. Gifted and non-gifted female students have more cyberbullying sensibility. Gifted students with a high academic average have more cyberbullying sensibility. In addition, students with gifted and non-gifted internal functional regulation of emotions skills have more cyberbullying sensibility. Students with low external dysfunctional regulation of emotions scores also have more cyberbullying sensibility. The results confirmed the importance of identifying students at risk, identifying the distinguishing factors for cyberbullying behaviors of gifted and non-gifted high school students, and evaluating the sources and reactions of cyberbullying behaviors. These results will provide important input for school-based prevention studies.
Beyond Menstrual Dysfunction: Does Altered Endocrine Function Caused by Problematic Low Energy Availability Impair Health and Sports Performance in Female Athletes?
Authors: Ihalainen Johanna K. , Mikkonen Ritva S. , Ackerman Kathryn E. , Heikura Ida A. , Mjøsund Katja , Valtonen Maarit , Hackney Anthony C. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractLow energy availability, particularly when problematic (i.e., prolonged and/or severe), has numerous negative consequences for health and sports performance as characterized in relative energy deficiency in sport. These consequences may be driven by disturbances in endocrine function, although scientific evidence clearly linking endocrine dysfunction to decreased sports performance and blunted or diminished training adaptations is limited. We describe how low energy availability-induced changes in sex hormones manifest as menstrual dysfunction and accompanying hormonal dysfunction in other endocrine axes that lead to adverse health outcomes, including negative bone health, impaired metabolic activity, undesired outcomes for body composition, altered immune response, problematic cardiovascular outcomes, iron deficiency, as well as impaired endurance performance and force production, all of which ultimately may influence athlete health and performance. Where identifiable menstrual dysfunction indicates hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis dysfunction, concomitant disturbances in other hormonal axes and their impact on the athlete’s health and sports performance must be recognized as well. Given that the margin between podium positions and “losing” in competitive sports can be very small, several important questions regarding low energy availability, endocrinology, and the mechanisms behind impaired training adaptations and sports performance have yet to be explored.

Abstract
Objective
To describe sex differences in concussion characteristics in US Service Academy cadets.

Design
Descriptive epidemiology study.

Setting
Four US service academies.

Participants
2209 cadets (n = 867 females, n = 1342 males).

Independent Variable
Sex.

Outcome Measures
Injury proportion ratios (IPR) compared the proportion of injuries by sex (females referent) for injury situation, certainty of diagnosis, prolonged recovery, recurrent injuries, mental status alterations, loss of consciousness (LOC), posttraumatic amnesia (PTA), retrograde amnesia (RGA), motor impairments, delayed symptom presentation, and immediate reporting.

Main Results
Concussions from varsity/intercollegiate sports [IPR of 1.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.43–2.10] and intramurals (IPR of 1.53, 95% CI 1.02–2.32) accounted for a larger proportion in males, whereas concussions outside of sport and military activities accounted for a smaller proportion among males (IPR of 0.70, 95% CI 0.58–0.85). The proportion of concussions with prolonged recovery was lower among males (IPR of 0.69, 95% CI 0.60–0.78), while concussions with altered mental status (IPR of 1.23, 95% CI 1.09–1.38), LOC (IPR of 1.67, 95% CI 1.17–2.37), PTA (IPR of 1.94, 95% CI 1.43–2.62), and RGA (IPR of 2.14, 95% CI 1.38–3.31) accounted for a larger proportion among males. A larger proportion of concussions that were immediately reported was observed in males (IPR of 1.15, 95% CI 1.00–2.31). Proportions of other characteristics (e.g., recurrent injuries) were not different between sexes.

Conclusions
A higher proportion of concussions occurred outside of sport and military training for female cadets, who also displayed proportionally longer recovery times than males, despite males demonstrating a higher proportion of LOC, PTA, and RGA. Possible factors may include different mechanisms of injury outside of sport and military training, different biopsychosocial states associated with sex or injury context, and delayed injury reporting when outside of an observed environment, possibly secondary to perceived stigma about reporting injuries.
How Sure is the Driver? Modelling Drivers’ Confidence in Left-Turn Gap Acceptance Decisions
Authors: Bontje Floor , Zgonnikov Arkady 
Published: July 2024

AbstractWhen a person makes a decision, it is automatically accompanied by a subjective probability judgment of the decision being correct, in other words, a confidence judgment. A better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for these confidence judgments could provide novel insights into human behavior. However, so far confidence judgments have been mostly studied in simplistic laboratory tasks while little is known about confidence in naturalistic dynamic tasks such as driving. In this study, we made a first attempt of connecting fundamental research on confidence with naturalistic driver behavior. We investigated the confidence of drivers in left-turn gap acceptance decisions in a driver simulator experiment (N = 17). We found that confidence in these decisions depends on the size of the gap to the oncoming vehicle. Specifically, confidence increased with the gap size for trials in which the gap was accepted, and decreased with the gap size for rejected gaps. Similarly to more basic tasks, confidence was negatively related to the response times and correlated with action dynamics during decision execution. Finally, we found that confidence judgments can be captured with an extended dynamic drift–diffusion model. In the model, the drift rate of the evidence accumulator as well as the decision boundaries are functions of the gap size. Furthermore, we demonstrated that allowing for post-decision evidence accumulation in the model increases its ability to describe confidence judgments in rejected gap decisions. Overall, our study confirmed that principles known from fundamental confidence research extend to confidence judgments in dynamic decisions during a naturalistic task.

Abstract
Objectives
This study aims to explore the opinions of key health leaders in Aotearoa New Zealand (Waikato Region) regarding a proposed facility-based rehabilitation initiative for older people. The initiative involves a team of health professionals providing intensive rehabilitation up to four times a day, seven days a week, to patients transferred to aged care facilities within the Waikato region.

Method
Structured interviews were conducted across one tertiary hospital, two community facilities, and two aged care facilities in the Waikato region of New Zealand. These were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim to allow for thematic analyses of the transcripts using a (1) general inductive method of inquiry.

Results
Interview transcripts from participants were analysed utilising a general inductive method of enquiry to develop key themes from the transcripts. This followed grounded theory in that themes emerged from the qualitative data collected from participants (2). The three central themes revealed were: "Person-Centered Care: What Matters Most?", "Rehabilitation: Beyond Monday to Friday, Eight to Five," and the importance of a multidisciplinary team working as "integrated partners in care."
All participants supported the implementation of a facility-based rehabilitation initiative and identified key aspects for successful patient outcomes. However, safety was highlighted as a crucial consideration, with participants emphasizing the need for medical support and oversight when implementing such a significant change in the care model.

Conclusion
The study examines Aotearoa New Zealand health leaders' views on implementing a facility-based rehabilitation initiative for older people. It enables readers to consider key factors for successful implementation, addressing acute hospital bed pressures and bridging the gap between acute care, aged care, and home settings.

A single-layer band-stop frequency selective surface with wide angular stability property
Authors: Gu Hang , Zhao Wei , Zhang Fan , Yang Chao 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIn this paper, a single-layer band-stop frequency selective surface (FSS) by combination of Mike Kastle unit and square ring unit is proposed to achieve wide angular stable shielding. Owing to the rotational symmetry of the structure, the designed FSS is insensitive to polarization. By the combination design, the wide angular stability can be achieved as the incident angle increases from 0° to 85°, with only a maximum frequency deviation of 0.012 GHz. Meanwhile, the mechanism of the proposed FSS is investigated by the parametric analysis of equivalent circuit model. The prototype was manufactured and measured to verify the design and simulation analysis, and the measurement results were in good agreement with the simulation results.
Seasonality of Retreat Rate of a Wave‐Exposed Marsh Edge

Published: July 2024

AbstractWave‐driven erosion of marsh boundaries is a major cause of marsh loss, but little research has captured the effect of seasonal differences on marsh‐edge retreat rates to illuminate temporal patterns of when the majority of this erosion is occurring. Using five surface models captured over a study year of a marsh with a steep escarped boundary in South San Francisco Bay, we find a pronounced seasonal signal, where rapid marsh retreat in the spring and summer is driven by a strong sea breeze but little change is found in the marsh‐edge position in the fall and winter. We found accretion in the mudflat transition region close to the marsh boundary in the calmer seasons however, suggesting intertwined morphodynamics of mudflats and the eroding marsh‐scarp. We observed large spatial heterogeneity in retreat rates within seasons, but less on longer (annual and decadal) timescales. The relationship between marsh‐edge retreat rates and properties of the wave field nearby is explored and contextualized against extant relationships, but our results speak to the difficulty in addressing spatial erosion/accretion variability on short (seasonal) timescales with simple models.

AbstractMonitoring and investigation of the solar‐terrestrial space environment is a huge challenge for humans in space age. To this end, China has established the Ground‐based Space Environment Monitoring Network, namely Chinese Meridian Project (CMP). The project comprises three major systems: the Space Environment Monitoring System, Data and Communication System, and Scientific Application System. The Space Environment Monitoring System adopts a well‐designed monitoring architecture, known as “One Chain, Three Networks, and Four Focuses,” to achieve stereoscopic and comprehensive monitoring of the entire solar‐terrestrial space. The “One‐Chain” component utilizes optical, radio, interplanetary scintillation, cosmic ray instruments to cover the causal chain of space weather disturbances from the solar surface to near‐Earth space. For the ionosphere, middle and upper atmosphere, and magnetic field, instruments are deployed along longitudes of 120° and 100°E, and latitudes of 30° and 40°N, forming the “Three Networks.” Furthermore, more powerful monitoring facilities or large‐scale instruments have been deployed in four key regions: the high‐latitude polar region, mid‐latitude region in northern China, low‐latitude region at Hainan Island, and the Tibet region. These four regions are crucial for disturbances propagation and evolution, or possess unique geographical and topographical characteristics. The Data and Communication System and Scientific Application System are designed for data collecting, processing, storage, mining, and providing user service based on data acquired by the Space Environment Monitoring System. The data obtained by CMP will be shared with the global scientific community, facilitating enhanced collaboration on space weather and space physics research.
