From empathy to activism
Authors: Dreyfus Shoshana , Han Joshua 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This paper examines how an adult’s letter to the New South Wales Minister for Disability regarding problems
identified within the disability service sector resulted in successful outcomes: that is, the changes asked for were delivered. A
range of discourse semantic tools of analysis including appraisal (Martin and White
2005) and connexion (Martin 1992; Rose
and Martin 2012) were employed in analysing this letter, which can be seen as an example of empathy activism. The
analysis identifies how the complex layering of stages and phases that organise the arguments in this letter powerfully drives the
point home, which is to convince the Minister to increase the staff ratio at a government-run respite house for children with
intellectual disabilities.
The place of feelings
Authors: Ortu Claudia 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This article describes the semiotic resources deployed during the creation, in 2021, of the Alphabet Workers Union
(AWU): the trade union that represents the workforce of the tech giant Alphabet Inc. The focus is on how the union shapes and
develops its identity as one of “empathetic workers who believe in social justice” (Alphabet
Workers Union 2021). The analysis of the homepage of AWU’s website through the prism of the textual metafunction in the
visual mode (Kress and van Leeuwen 2001, 2006, 2020) together with the analysis of the interpersonal metafunction in the verbal mode according to the “appraisal”
paradigm (Martin and White 2005), shows how the union assigns a central position to
positive feelings of togetherness.
Weak and strong coupling polarons in binary Bose–Einstein condensates
Authors: Liu Ning 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The Bose polaron is a quasiparticle that arises from the interaction between impurities and Bogoliubov excitation in Bose–Einstein condensates, analogous to the polaron formed by electrons and phonons in solid-state physics. In this paper, we investigate the effect of phase separation on weakly coupled and strongly coupled Bose polarons. Our findings reveal that phase separation induces a remarkable alteration in the properties of weakly coupled Bose polarons. However, in the case of strong coupling, phase separation cannot destroy the highly self-trapping state of Bose polarons.

Abstract
The SPECtrophotometer for TRansmission spectroscopy of exoplanets (SPECTR) is a new low-resolution optical (3800–6850 Å) spectrophotometer installed at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory 1.8 m telescope. SPECTR is designed for observing the transmission spectra of transiting exoplanets. Unique features of SPECTR are its long slit length of 10′ which facilitates observing the target and the comparison star simultaneously, and its wide slit width to minimize slit losses. SPECTR will be used to survey exoplanets, such as those identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, providing information about their radii across the wavelength range. In this paper, we present the design of SPECTR and the observational results of the partial transit of HD 189733 b and a full transit of Qatar-8 b. Analyses show the SPECTR’s capability on the white light curves with an accuracy of one ppt. The transmission spectrum of HD 189733 b shows general agreement with previous studies.
Role of self-assembled molecules’ anchoring groups for surface defect passivation and dipole modulation in inverted perovskite solar cells

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Inverted perovskite solar cells have gained prominence in industrial advancement due to their easy fabrication, low hysteresis effects, and high stability. Despite these advantages, their efficiency is currently limited by excessive defects and poor carrier transport at the perovskite–electrode interface, particularly at the buried interface between the perovskite and transparent conductive oxide (TCO). Recent efforts in the perovskite community have focused on designing novel self-assembled molecules (SAMs) to improve the quality of the buried interface. However, a notable gap remains in understanding the regulation of atomic-scale interfacial properties of SAMs between the perovskite and TCO interfaces. This understanding is crucial, particularly in terms of identifying chemically active anchoring groups. In this study, we used the star SAM ([2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl] phosphonic acid) as the base structure to investigate the defect passivation effects of eight common anchoring groups at the perovskite–TCO interface. Our findings indicate that the phosphonic and boric acid groups exhibit notable advantages. These groups fulfill three key criteria: they provide the greatest potential for defect passivation, exhibit stable adsorption with defects, and exert significant regulatory effects on interface dipoles. Ionized anchoring groups exhibit enhanced passivation capabilities for defect energy levels due to their superior Lewis base properties, which effectively neutralize local charges near defects. Among various defect types, iodine vacancies are the easiest to passivate, whereas iodine-substituted lead defects are the most challenging to passivate. Our study provides comprehensive theoretical insights and inspiration for the design of anchoring groups in SAMs, contributing to the ongoing development of more efficient inverted perovskite solar cells.
Estimated mortality attributable to the urban heat island during the record-breaking 2022 heatwave in London
Authors: Simpson Charles H , Brousse Oscar , Heaviside Clare 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The United Kingdom experienced its most extreme heatwave to date during late July 2022, with maximum air temperatures exceeding 40 °C recorded for the first time in history on July 19th. High ambient temperatures have been statistically shown to lead to increased mortality. Higher nighttime temperatures that occur in more urbanised areas, called the urban heat island (UHI), may contribute to the mortality burden of heat. In this study, we applied health impact assessment methods with advanced urban climate modelling to estimate what contribution the UHI had on the mortality impact of the 10–25 July 2022 heatwave in Greater London. Estimated mortality due to heat and due to the UHI were compared with estimated mortality due to air pollution in the same period, based on monitored concentrations. We estimate that of the 1773 deaths in Greater London in this period 370 (95% confidence interval 328–410) could be attributed to heat. We estimate that 38% of these heat-related deaths could be attributed to the UHI. In the same period is estimate deaths attributable to PM2.5 were 20.6 (10.4–30.8) and to ozone were 52.3 (95% confidence interval 18.6–85.2). Despite not contributing to the record-breaking maximum air temperature observed during this period, the UHI may have contributed to the heatwave’s mortality burden through raised nighttime temperature. While air pollutant concentrations were elevated during the period, deaths attributable to air pollution were relatively few compared to deaths attributable to heat.
Introduction
Authors: Putz Paul Emory 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the main ideas, narrative structure, and historiographical themes of The Spirit of the Game. It situates the book at the intersection of both sport history and religious history, and it discusses how the book engages with scholarship from both subdisciplines. For sport historians, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the creation of a Protestant subculture within big-time sports that has shaped the meanings assigned to athletics in American life. For religious historians, the book uses sport as a lens for understanding the transformations in American Protestantism over the course of the twentieth century. This includes the shift from a mainline/ecumenical establishment to an evangelical movement that claimed to represent the mainstream. Precisely because this book is about sports and religion, it is also about American pluralism, belonging, and the public spaces we share together.
Unless the Playing Interferes with the Praying
Authors: Putz Paul Emory 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines fundamentalist, white Southern Protestant, and Black Protestant engagement with sports in the 1920s. Fundamentalists enjoyed sports, but they prioritized evangelism, piety, and separation from the world to such an extent that success in sports at an elite level was difficult. White Southern Protestants comfortably blended the evangelistic emphasis of fundamentalists with the character-building and establishment sensibility of middlebrow Protestants, all while connecting sports with Southern identity. Black Protestants shared with white Protestants the emphasis on using athletics to build character. Yet, they added a focus on cultivating Black pride and working for muscular assimilation. While middlebrow Protestants remained best positioned for influence within big-time sports, the ideologies these three groups developed in the 1920s are crucial to understanding the prehistory of the Christian athlete movement and the directions that it would eventually take.
Jesse Jackson Has Reason to Be Concerned
Authors: Putz Paul Emory 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines debates over race, Christianity, and American identity as the white-led Christian athlete movement began to include more Black athletes. In the 1980s those tensions simmered. Then, in 1990s they came to the forefront in a dramatic way when Black Christian athletes and a handful of white Christian allies began to make opposition to racism a central moral concern. In their efforts, carried out amid a broader evangelical movement for racial reconciliation, they pushed against the boundaries of the predominantly white Christian athlete movement. Yet Black Christian athletes often discovered that to discuss racism as a present and systemic problem risked being cast as polarizing and militant, leading some to seek to develop new sports ministry spaces.
Retroactive Continuity and Fictional Facts
Authors: Lee Jeonggyu 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This paper deals with the phenomenon of retroactive continuity, or retcon for short, in which the truth-value of a proposition in an established fictional work is changed later. The primary aim of this paper is to provide the most compelling explanation for retroactive continuity. I first defend the metaphysical view about fiction, according to which when retconning occurs, a fictional work changes its property of containing a proposition while preserving its identity. I then argue that this view is theoretically preferable to all other competing approaches.
AI Prediction for Post–Lower Blepharoplasty Age Reduction
Authors: Chiou Tz-Wei , Yen Cheng-I , Hsiao Yen-Chang , Chen Hung-Chang 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Aesthetic standards vary and are subjective; artificial intelligence (AI), which is currently seeing a boom in interest, has the potential to provide objective assessment.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to provide a relatively objective assessment of the aesthetic outcomes of lower blepharoplasty–related surgeries, thereby enhancing the decision-making process and understanding of the surgical results.

Methods
This study included 150 patients who had undergone lower blepharoplasty–related surgeries. Analysis was performed with FaceAge software, created by the authors’ research team, which included 4 publicly available age estimation convolution neural network (CNN) models: Amazon Rekognition (Seattle, WA), Microsoft Azure Face (Redmond, WA), Face++ Detect (Beijing, China), and Inferdo face detection (New York, NY). This application was used to compare the subjects’ real age and their age as estimated by the 4 CNNs. In addition, this application was used to estimate patient age based on preoperative and postoperative images of all 150 patients and to evaluate the effect of lower blepharoplasty.

Results
In terms of accuracy in age prediction, all CNN models exhibited a certain degree of accuracy. For all 150 patients undergoing lower blepharoplasty–related surgeries, these surgeries resulted in about 2 years of rejuvenation with a statistically significant difference; for the sex difference, men had more age reduction than women also with a statistically significant difference; quadrilateral blepharoplasty showed the most significant antiaging effect.

Conclusions
By using deep-learning models, lower blepharoplasty–related surgeries actually had an effect on perceived age reduction. Deep learning models have the potential to provide quantitative evidence for the rejuvenating effects of blepharoplasty and other cosmetic surgeries.
A Comparison of Ovine-Reinforced Hybrid Mesh (OviTex PRS) With Porcine Acellular Dermal Matrix (STRATTICE) in the Treatment of Advanced Breast Implant Capsular Contracture
Authors: Harfouche Cyril J , Brucker Michael J , Pacella Salvatore J 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Tissue reinforcement techniques with porcine acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) have been widely adopted as standard care in treating capsular contracture. However, the application of alternative xenograft or mesh materials has not been widely studied.

Objectives
To examine the efficacy of OviTex PRS Reinforced Tissue Matrix (Resorbable) (TELA Bio, Malvern, PA), a hybrid ovine-reinforced mesh, in comparison with STRATTICE Reconstructive Tissue Matrix (Allergan, Irvine, CA), in patients with advanced capsular contracture.

Methods
A retrospective review was conducted on patients who underwent breast revision surgery for Baker Grade III or IV capsular contracture. Patient data were reviewed for outcomes, complications, cost, and postoperative incidence of recurrent capsular contracture after treatment with each specific mesh.

Results
Fifty-nine of 89 breasts (66.3%) were treated with OviTex and 30 (33.7%) were treated with STRATTICE. All patients experienced a reduction in Baker grades. In patients treated with OviTex, 96.6% (n = 57) of breasts had a postoperative Baker Grade I with the remaining 3.4% (n = 2) breasts presenting with a Baker Grade II. In comparison, 73.3% (n = 22), 23.3% (n = 7), and 3.3% (n = 1) of the STRATTICE cohort presented with Baker Grades I, II, and III, respectively. This demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in Baker grade capsular contracture in the OviTex cohort (P &lt; .05) compared with STRATTICE. Average cost was $27.37/cm2 for STRATTICE compared with $22.28/cm2 for OviTex PRS.

Conclusions
OviTex may be successfully utilized to treat capsular contracture. Patient outcomes may be superior to STRATTICE in recurrent capsular contracture, particularly when a previous ADM had been utilized. Cost data show improved savings with the use of OviTex compared with STRATTICE.

Identifying cancer cells from calling single-nucleotide variants in scRNA-seq data
Authors: Marot-Lassauzaie Valérie , Beneyto-Calabuig Sergi , Obermayer Benedikt , Velten Lars , Beule Dieter , Haghverdi Laleh 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Motivation
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data are widely used to study cancer cell states and their heterogeneity. However, the tumour microenvironment is usually a mixture of healthy and cancerous cells and it can be difficult to fully separate these two populations based on transcriptomics alone. If available, somatic single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) observed in the scRNA-seq data could be used to identify the cancer population and match that information with the single cells’ expression profile. However, calling somatic SNVs in scRNA-seq data is a challenging task, as most variants seen in the short-read data are not somatic, but can instead be germline variants, RNA edits or transcription, sequencing, or processing errors. In addition, only variants present in actively transcribed regions for each individual cell will be seen in the data.

Results
To address these challenges, we develop CCLONE (Cancer Cell Labelling On Noisy Expression), an interpretable tool adapted to handle the uncertainty and sparsity of SNVs called from scRNA-seq data. CCLONE jointly identifies cancer clonal populations, and their associated variants. We apply CCLONE on two acute myeloid leukaemia datasets and one lung adenocarcinoma dataset and show that CCLONE captures both genetic clones and somatic events for multiple patients. These results show how CCLONE can be used to gather insight into the course of the disease and the origin of cancer cells in scRNA-seq data.

Augmented reality and radiology: visual enhancement or monopolized mirage
Authors: Christie Matthew 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) exists on a spectrum, a mixed reality hybrid of virtual projections onto real surroundings. Superimposing conventional medical imaging onto the living patient offers vast potential for radiology, potentially revolutionising practice. The digital technology and user-interfaces that allow us to appreciate this enhanced environment however are complex, expensive, and development mainly limited to major commercial technology (Tech) firms. Hence, it is the activity of these consumer-based businesses that will inevitably dictate the available technology and therefore clinical application of AR. The release of mixed reality head-mounted displays in 2024, must therefore prompt a review of the current status of AR research in radiology, the need for further study and a discussion of the complicated relationship between consumer technology, clinical utility, and the risks of monopolisation.
Practitioner Perspectives on Agency Social Work in Children and Families Social Work in England
Authors: McLaughlin Hugh , Scholar Helen , McCaughan Su , Pollock Sarah 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This article examines practitioner perspectives on agency social work in Local Authority Children’s Services Departments in England. There have been ongoing concerns about the use of agency workers, relating to cost, quality and impact on services, despite a recognition that temporary staff may be needed for a range of reasons. However, recent labour shortages and the escalating costs of agency staffing are fuelling calls for some form of regulation of agency workers. The article reviews literature on agency workers from the UK and elsewhere. It presents demographic survey data about agency workers drawn from a five-year longitudinal study on the recruitment and retention of child and family social workers and reports qualitative data from forty semi-structured interviews with social workers in Year 4 (Johnson et al., 2022) of the project about their experience of agency social work and agency social workers. The findings indicate several reasons for choosing agency work, pay being the most significant but by no means the only one. The advantages and disadvantages of agency work for workers, employers and service users are considered, and suggestions are offered about further research to assist in understanding how employers can identify and address recruitment and retention factors to reduce dependence on agency staff.
Photophysical properties of donor–acceptor antiaromatic organoboron compounds based on dithienodiborinines
Authors: Adachi Yohei , Hasegawa Takumi , Ohshita Joji 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Boron-containing antiaromatics, such as diborinines and boroles, have sparked interest in materials chemists owing to their exciting optical properties and high Lewis acidity. In this study, we synthesized donor–acceptor (D–A) type diborinines fused with thiophene rings by introducing electron-donating amino-substituted aryl groups onto boron and elucidated their properties. The D–A type dithienodiborinines exhibited long-wavelength absorption arising from their D–A interactions and antiaromaticity. In addition, their fluorescence intensity increased under oxygen-free conditions, indicating thermally activated delayed fluorescence.
Dissecting aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva into interventricular septum and rupturing into left ventricle through multiple sinuses: a rare case report
Authors: Sharma Shubham , Shah Jayal , Charaniya Riyaz , Dash Rakesh 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Ruptured sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) is a rare disorder, which usually involves the right coronary sinus (RCS) or the non-coronary sinus (NCS) and ruptures usually into the right-sided chambers. Involvement of the left coronary sinus (LCS) and multiple sinuses, rupture into the left ventricle (LV), and dissecting aneurysm of the interventricular septum (IVS) have all been scarcely reported.

Case summary
A 24-year-old male presented with complaints of exertional fatigue, palpitations, and chest pain with signs of aortic run-off like wide pulse pressure, collapsing pulse along with cardiomegaly, and a diastolic murmur. Echocardiography revealed sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SOVAs) involving both the RCS and LCS with RCS aneurysm dissecting the IVS and rupturing into the LV and another multilobulated aneurysm from LCS rupturing into the LV. Findings were confirmed on computed tomography (CT) aortogram, and the patient underwent successful surgical repair.

Discussion
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare disorder which usually ruptures into the right-sided chambers. The involvement of multiple sinuses and rupture into the IVS is extremely rare (&lt;2%). Aneurysm dissecting the IVS can lead to complete heart block (CHB) and sudden death. Involvement of the LCS is reported in &lt;5% cases of RSOV, and rupture of such an aneurysm into the pericardial space may lead to cardiac tamponade and can also lead to sudden death. Clinical examination, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, 2D echocardiography, and CT all help in the diagnosis. Treatment involves surgical repair of the defect.
