Authors: Seretlo Raikane James , Mokgatle Mathildah Mpata , Smuts Hanlie 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionIn South Africa’s diverse population, queer voices emerge as change agents, proposing new and critical solutions to reform sexual and reproductive healthcare services in the pursuit of inclusivity and equality. Our research aimed to explore and describe queer individuals’ perceptions and solutions for promoting sexual-reproductive healthcare services and needs (SRHSN) in Gauteng Province, South Africa.MethodologyAn explorative-descriptive study was performed for this research. A total of 22 queer individuals was recruited using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) within a queer-inclusive non-governmental organization (NGO) clinic in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Semi-structured interviews and an interview guide were utilized to collect data using English. Thematic content analysis was applied using NVivo 14.ResultsFour main themes and related sub-themes were revealed from the study including the creation of healthcare equity for queer individuals, empowering and supporting healthcare providers (HCPs) to enhance skills, knowledge, and expertise, raising awareness on queer-related issues, and different stakeholders’ involvement.ConclusionAs we navigate South Africa’s complex landscape of SRHSN for queer individuals, the crucial opinions and solutions offered by queer people not only challenge the status quo but also reveal an approach to a better, more equitable, empathetic, and accommodating healthcare system for everyone. Future studies should ensure the inclusiveness of queer individuals with the interest of improving their health not just for research outputs.
Chronic kidney disease and the alternative labels used by GPs in Australia: a qualitative interview study
Authors: Guppy Michelle , Bowles Esther Joy , Glasziou Paul , Doust Jenny 
Published: August 2024

BackgroundGuidelines for terminology defining chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been in use for 20 years. Age is not currently considered in the guideline definition of CKD. In previous studies, GPs have been reluctant to give older patients the label of CKD.AimTo determine what language GPs are using to describe or label CKD with their older patients, and to explore the reasons for their use of alternative language.Design & settingThis was a descriptive qualitative interview study of Australian GPs.MethodTwenty-seven GPs were recruited via email and interviewed regarding their management of CKD. GPs were asked what language and terminology they used when discussing a diagnosis of CKD with their older patients.Results'Labelling of CKD', the language that GPs use when talking about CKD with their patients, emerged as a major theme from the initial GP interviews. Sub-themes emerged, including types of alternative labels and rationale for alternative labels. GPs used descriptions of 'reduced kidney function' to explain CKD to their patients, either in parallel with the diagnosis of CKD or instead of it. GPs had concerns about the words 'chronic' and 'disease', and used different terminology to explain these words to patients when diagnosing them with CKD.ConclusionGPs use alternative descriptions to explain mild decrease in kidney function with older patients. Alternative labels that denote level of risk to older patients, without creating unnecessary concern about normal age-related kidney function, need to be explored.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) magnetic recording with multiple recording layers has garnered considerable attention as a next-generation magnetic recording method that uses dual conventional recording layers and a magnetoresistive (MR) head for reading. In this work, to examine signal processing methods for the 3D magnetic read/write (R/W) channel using heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), we have constructed a HAMR R/W channel using a granular media model. Our 3D HAMR R/W channel model, specialized for signal processing development, can account for the Curie temperatures of the recording layers and the temperature distribution of the heat source.
Suppression of stacking-fault expansion in 4H-SiC diodes by helium implantation

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Bipolar degradation is a critical problem in Silicon carbide devices, caused by the expansion of single Shockley stacking faults (1SSFs) from basal plane dislocations. This paper presents the effects of helium implantation on the suppression of 1SSFs expansion. The fabricated PiN diodes were analyzed using current–voltage characteristics and electroluminescence imaging. The results show that helium implantation can effectively suppress 1SSFs expansion without significantly degrading diode performance. We consider that this suppression is due to the pinning of dislocations by point defects introduced during helium implantation, and the reduction of carrier lifetime may also play a role in suppressing 1SSFs expansion.

Do physical activity intensity and sedentary behaviour relate to burnout among medical students? Insight from two Canadian medical schools
Authors: Morgan Tamara , McFadden Taylor , Fortier Michelle , Sweet Shane , Tomasone Jennifer 
Published: August 2024

Background: Medical school involves high expectations of medical students, which may increase their risk for burnout. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) are modifiable risk factors for burnout. However, medical students are insufficiently taught about PA and SB and may therefore be less likely to meet guideline-recommended levels of these two movement behaviours or promote them in practice. Few studies have examined the relationships between medical students’ PA intensity, SB, and burnout; such examination could help clarify educational needs for improving levels of movement behaviours and their promotion.
Purpose: This study investigated (1) the relationships between light, moderate, vigorous, and total PA, SB, and burnout among medical students, and (2) moderate-to-vigorous PA as a moderator of the relationship between SB and burnout, to guide future curriculum renewal.
Methods: Medical students (N = 129) at two Canadian institutions completed online validated questionnaires assessing light, moderate, vigorous, and total PA, SB, and burnout.
Results: Regression analyses indicated that light PA (β = -.191, p = .039) and SB (β=-.230, p = .013) were negatively associated with burnout. Moderate-to-vigorous PA did not significantly moderate the relationship between SB and burnout.
Conclusions: Engaging in lighter forms of PA and SB within guideline recommendations may help mitigate medical student burnout. Competencies to promote movement behaviours may dually target medical student burnout and curriculum gaps.
Differential effect of training impure tacts versus pure tacts plus intraverbal on the emergence of new verbal operants: A conceptual and methodological study

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe aim of this research was to test the effect of training impure tact versus pure tact and intraverbals on the emergence of new verbal operants (impure tacts), thus establishing a conceptual and methodological differentiation on these operants. This was done by varying the training order of intraverbal or impure tact to analyze and confirm whether or not impure tact is the mere sum of pure tact plus intraverbal and therefore has different functions and consequences in learning. An experiment was conducted with 30 participants randomly assigned to three groups. In Group 1, pure tact plus intraverbal and then impure tact were trained. In Group 3 the training order of these operants was counterbalanced. Group 2 was the control group, training only pure tact plus intraverbal. After the training phases, the emergence of impure tacts was tested. The results of this research indicate that the training of impure tacts favors the emergence of new impure tacts to a greater extent than the training of pure tact plus intraverbal and that they therefore have different functions. It is also shown that variation in the order of presentation of the type of training influences the subsequent emergence of new operants (impure tacts), so that creating a previous history of learning in impure tacts favors emergence even when the intraverbal alone is subsequently trained. This has important implications at both conceptual and methodological levels as it would contribute to the development of more effective language training technologies.

Abstract
We present new near-ultraviolet (NUV, λ = 2479–3306 Å) transmission spectroscopy of KELT-9b, the hottest known exoplanet, obtained with the Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment CubeSat. Two transits were observed on 2022 September 28th and September 29th, referred to as Visits 1 and 2 respectively. Using a combined transit and systematics model for each visit, the best-fit broadband NUV light curves are R
p/R
⋆ = 0.136

−
0.0146

+
0.0125

for Visit 1 and R
p/R
⋆ = 0.111

−
0.0190

+
0.0162

for Visit 2, appearing an average of 1.54× larger in the NUV than at optical wavelengths. While the systematics between the two visits vary considerably, the two broadband NUV light curves are consistent with each other. A transmission spectrum with 25 Å bins suggests a general trend of excess absorption in the NUV, consistent with expectations for ultrahot Jupiters. Although we see an extended atmosphere in the NUV, the reduced data lack the sensitivity to probe individual spectral lines.
The Coherent Magnetic Field of the Milky Way
Authors: Unger Michael , Farrar Glennys R. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
We present a suite of models of the coherent magnetic field of the Galaxy based on new divergence-free parametric functions describing the global structure of the field. The model parameters are fit to the latest full-sky Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of extragalactic sources and polarized synchrotron intensity (PI) maps from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and Planck. We employ multiple models for the density of thermal and cosmic-ray electrons in the Galaxy, needed to predict the sky maps of RMs and PI for a given Galactic magnetic field (GMF) model. The robustness of the inferred properties of the GMF is gauged by studying many combinations of parametric field models and electron density models. We determine the pitch angle of the local magnetic field (11° ± 1°), explore the evidence for a grand-design spiral coherent magnetic field (inconclusive), determine the strength of the toroidal and poloidal magnetic halo fields below and above the disk (magnitudes the same for both hemispheres within ≈10%), set constraints on the half-height of the cosmic-ray diffusion volume (≥2.9 kpc), investigate the compatibility of RM- and PI-derived magnetic field strengths (compatible under certain assumptions), and check if the toroidal halo field could be created by the shear of the poloidal halo field due to the differential rotation of the Galaxy (possibly). A set of eight models is identified to help quantify the present uncertainties in the coherent GMF spanning different functional forms, data products, and auxiliary input. We present the corresponding sky maps of rates for axion–photon conversion in the Galaxy and deflections of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays.

Abstract
We report on the final two days of a multiwavelength campaign of Sgr A* observing in the radio, submillimeter, infrared (IR), and X-ray bands in 2019 July. Sgr A* was remarkably active, showing multiple flaring events across the electromagnetic spectrum. We detect a transient ∼35 minute periodicity feature in Spitzer light curves on 2019 July 21. Time-delayed emission was detected in Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array light curves, suggesting a hotspot within the accretion flow on a stable orbit. On the same night, we observe a decreased flux in the submillimeter light curve following an X-ray flare detected by Chandra, and we model the feature with an adiabatically expanding synchrotron hotspot occulting the accretion flow. The event is produced by a plasma 0.55 R
S in radius with an electron spectrum p = 2.84. It is threaded by a ∼130 Gauss magnetic field and expands at 0.6% the speed of light. Finally, we reveal an unambiguous flare in the IR, submillimeter, and radio, demonstrating that the variable emission is intrinsically linked. We jointly fit the radio and submillimeter light curves using an adiabatically expanding synchrotron hotspot and find it is produced by a plasma with an electron spectrum p = 0.59, 187 Gauss magnetic field, and radius 0.47 R
S that expands at 0.029c. In both cases, the uncertainty in the appropriate lower and upper electron energy bounds may inflate the derived equipartition field strengths by a factor of 2 or more. Our results confirm that both synchrotron- and adiabatic-cooling processes are involved in the variable emission’s evolution at submillimeter and IR wavelengths.
