Epistemological Foundations of Transmarxism
Authors: Adamson Alex 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This article outlines the epistemological foundations of transmarxism through a decolonial Marxist humanism taking up groundwork laid in Transgender Marxism (2021) by Nathaniel Dickson as a starting point. The transmarxist critique of alienated life via the continued subjection of trans people to an arbitrary and finite set of external determinations coincides with hi[r]storical materialism and a decolonial humanist critique of racial capitalism. While there are many debates around various forms of humanism, this article takes the position that a decolonial Marxist humanism does not have to put forward a problematically sexist, racist, or anthropocentric understanding of the human to say that there is nothing proper to the human other than impropriety. As argued in the latter half of the article, the historical and conceptual relations binding revolutionary Marxist humanism to the theory and praxis of autonomous queer, trans, and feminist struggles found in the work of Sylvia Wynter, Wages Due Lesbians, and the concept of hi[r]storical materialism are critical to ending colonial capitalist imperialism, fighting fascism, and revealing the limitations of liberal inclusion as a long-term solution to antitrans violence.
“Other and More”: Indian Ocean Literature and the Archipelagic Discourse of the Caribbean
Authors: Gorman-DaRif Meghan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In his 1992 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Derek Walcott imagines the broken vase and the subsequent reassemblage of its “African and Asiatic” fragments as a metaphor for Caribbean art forms, especially poetry. His vision of the particular archipelagic form of art that is invested in remaking from fragments, while specific to the Caribbean, is also visible in writing from other archipelagic spaces in the Indian Ocean. This article connects the Caribbean concept of the archipelago to the Indian Ocean through an analysis of the way Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor's The Dragonfly Sea (2018) and Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide (2005) each present the littoral island spaces of the Indian Ocean. These texts construct alternatives to the possessive ontology of global capital through their articulation of the unique ontology and aesthetics of the Indian Ocean archipelago, borne out of the specificity of the littoral and its association with permeability, symbiosis, and a “back and forth” mirroring the tides themselves. The article argues that while Owuor's novel, like Walcott, is invested in the ontology and aesthetics of the archipelago as transformative and resistant, Ghosh's novel can be read with Braithwaite's concept of tidalectics as well as Glissant's creolization, to similarly depict the ontology and aesthetics of the archipelago as emerging out of fluidity and change rather than linearity or stasis.

ABSTRACT
Apical expansion of calvarial osteoblast progenitors from the cranial mesenchyme (CM) above the eye is integral to calvarial growth and enclosure of the brain. The cellular behaviors and signals underlying the morphogenetic process of calvarial expansion are unknown. Time-lapse light-sheet imaging of mouse embryos revealed calvarial progenitors intercalate in 3D in the CM above the eye, and exhibit protrusive and crawling activity more apically. CM cells express non-canonical Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) core components and calvarial osteoblasts are bidirectionally polarized. We found non-canonical ligand Wnt5a−/− mutants have less dynamic cell rearrangements and protrusive activity. Loss of CM-restricted Wntless (CM-Wls), a gene required for secretion of all Wnt ligands, led to diminished apical expansion of Osx+ calvarial osteoblasts in the frontal bone primordia in a non-cell autonomous manner without perturbing proliferation or survival. Calvarial osteoblast polarization, progressive cell elongation and enrichment for actin along the baso-apical axis were dependent on CM-Wnts. Thus, CM-Wnts regulate cellular behaviors during calvarial morphogenesis for efficient apical expansion of calvarial osteoblasts. These findings also offer potential insights into the etiologies of calvarial dysplasias.
Who Lends Before Banking Crises? Evidence from the International Syndicated Loan Market
Authors: Giannetti Mariassunta , Jang YeeJin 
Published: May 2024

Existing studies assume that all lenders have similar incentives to take on risks during different phases of the lending cycle. We show that foreign lenders and low market share lenders extend more credit in comparison with other lenders during lending booms leading to banking crises but not during other credit expansions. These less established lenders also shorten loan maturity and increase the amount of credit they extend to riskier borrowers without asking for collateral or imposing covenants and higher interest rates. Our results suggest that foreign lenders and low market share lenders contribute disproportionately to credit misallocation and risk accumulation in precrisis periods.

Published: May 2024

Background/Aims Surgical site infections following cardiac surgery pose significant risks and financial burdens to both patients and healthcare systems. This study aimed to explore the implementation and outcomes of a novel surgical wound monitoring system using patient smartphones for post-discharge surveillance. Methods The study was conducted at a London-based cardiothoracic tertiary referral centre, where 1358 patients undergoing cardiac surgery between January 2021 and March 2023 were enrolled onto the surgical wound monitoring system. Data were collected from the National Cardiac Audit Programme dataset, the monitoring system and Hospital Episode Statistics data. Comparisons between patients who did or did not respond to surveillance requests were performed. A nested confirmatory analysis assessed antibiotics reported by patients through the digital route compared with antibiotics given by GPs or in outpatients. Results The overall response rate for surgical wound monitoring using patient smartphones was 86.6%. Patients who were female, from areas of higher deprivation and lived closer to the hospital were less likely to engage with surgical wound monitoring. Although not statistically significant, the current study suggests that patients with surgical site infections who used smartphones for surgical wound monitoring were less likely to be re-admitted or have further surgery and had shorter readmission stays. The accuracy of antibiotic use for surgical site infections using the surgical wound monitoring system was 96.5%. Conclusions This study underscores the potential of digital technologies, particularly smartphones, in efficient and accurate post-surgical monitoring. The findings suggest that the use of digital monitoring systems may improve patient outcomes, with potential for wider system-level benefits.

Objective
Red and processed meat is considered risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but the evidence is inconclusive. We aimed to examine the association between red and processed meat intake and odds of GDM among South Asian and White European women living in Canada.

Methods
This is a cross-sectional analysis of pregnant women from two birth cohorts: SouTh Asian biRth cohorT (START; n = 976) and Family Atherosclerosis Monitoring In earLY life (FAMILY; n = 581). Dietary intake was assessed using a validated 169-item semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between gestational diabetes and: 1) total red and processed meat; 2) unprocessed red meat; 3) processed meat and GDM after adjustment for potential confounders.

Results
There were 241 GDM cases in START and 91 in FAMILY. The median total red and processed meat intake were 1.5 g/d (START) and 52.8 g/d (FAMILY). In START, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) showed neither lower nor higher intakes of unprocessed red meat (p-trend = 0.68), processed meat (p-trend = 0.90), or total red and processed meat (p-trend = 0.44), were associated with increased odds of GDM, when compared with medium intake. Similar results were observed in FAMILY except for processed meat intake [OR = 0.94 (95% CI 0.47–1.91), for medium versus low and OR = 1.51 (95% CI 0.77–2.29) for medium versus high; p-trend = 0.18] after adjusting for additional dietary factors such as the diet quality score, total fiber, saturated fat and glycemic load.

Conclusion
Medium compared with low or high red and processed meat intake is not associated with GDM in White Europeans and South Asians living in Canada.

Published: May 2024

Background
After its emergence in China, the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has swept the world, leading to global health crises with millions of deaths. COVID-19 clinical manifestations differ in severity, ranging from mild symptoms to severe disease. Although perturbation of metabolism has been reported as a part of the host response to COVID-19 infection, scarce data exist that describe stage-specific changes in host metabolites during the infection and how this could stratify patients based on severity.

Methods
Given this knowledge gap, we performed targeted metabolomics profiling and then used machine learning models and biostatistics to characterize the alteration patterns of 50 metabolites and 17 blood parameters measured in a cohort of 295 human subjects. They were categorized into healthy controls, non-severe, severe and critical groups with their outcomes. Subject’s demographic and clinical data were also used in the analyses to provide more robust predictive models.

Results
The non-severe and severe COVID-19 patients experienced the strongest changes in metabolite repertoire, whereas less intense changes occur during the critical phase. Panels of 15, 14, 2 and 2 key metabolites were identified as predictors for non-severe, severe, critical and dead patients, respectively. Specifically, arginine and malonyl methylmalonyl succinylcarnitine were significant biomarkers for the onset of COVID-19 infection and tauroursodeoxycholic acid were potential biomarkers for disease progression. Measuring blood parameters enhanced the predictive power of metabolic signatures during critical illness.

Conclusions
Metabolomic signatures are distinctive for each stage of COVID-19 infection. This has great translation potential as it opens new therapeutic and diagnostic prospective based on key metabolites.
Mediating role of health literacy in relationship between frailty and health-related quality of life in community-dwelling older adults
Authors: Kim Hee-Sun , Kim Jinhee , Kim Ji-Ah 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of health literacy on the relationship between frailty and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among community-dwelling older adults.

Methods
This study used the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Database (KFACD) for secondary data analysis. We selected data from 1,631 people without missing main variable values for analysis. Frailty was determined based on the modified Fried’s phenotype [MFP], and HRQOL was measured using the Korean version of the 5-level EuroQol questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). Health literacy was assessed using the questions on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) used by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. To examine the mediating role of health literacy in the relationship between frailty and HRQOL, Baron & Kenny’s three-step mediating effect verification method was utilized.

Results
The participants had a mean frailty score of 1.37±1.02, health literacy score of 8.56±2.59, and HRQOL score of 0.84±0.10. Frailty was negatively correlated with health literacy (r = -0.27, p < .001) and HRQOL (r = -0.32, p < .001), while health literacy was positively correlated with HRQOL (r = 0.34, p < .001). We observed that health literacy played a partial mediating role in the relationship between frailty and HRQOL.

Conclusion
To increase older adults’ HRQOL, measures that directly prevent and manage frailty as well as interventions that target the enhancement of health literacy are needed.

Published: May 2024

Objective
Minimally invasive surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is impeded by inadequate lysis of the target blood clot. Ultrasound is thought to expedite intravascular thrombolysis, thereby facilitating vascular recanalization. However, the impact of ultrasound on intracerebral blood clot lysis remains uncertain. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of combining ultrasound with urokinase to enhance blood clot lysis in an in vitro model of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

Methods
The blood clots were divided into four groups: control group, ultrasound group, urokinase group, and ultrasound + urokinase group. Using our experimental setup, which included a key-shaped bone window, we simulated a minimally invasive puncture and drainage procedure for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The blood clot was then irradiated using ultrasound. Blood clot lysis was assessed by weighing the blood clot before and after the experiment. Potential adverse effects were evaluated by measuring the temperature variation around the blood clot in the ultrasound + urokinase group.

Results
A total of 40 blood clots were observed, with 10 in each experimental group. The blood clot lysis rate in the ultrasound group, urokinase group, and ultrasound + urokinase group (24.83 ± 4.67%, 47.85 ± 7.09%, 61.13 ± 4.06%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (16.11 ± 3.42%) (p = 0.02, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). The blood clot lysis rate in the ultrasound + urokinase group (61.13 ± 4.06%) was significantly higher than that in the ultrasound group (24.83 ± 4.67%) (p < 0.001) or urokinase group (47.85 ± 7.09%) (p < 0.001). In the ultrasound + urokinase group, the mean increase in temperature around the blood clot was 0.26 ± 0.15°C, with a maximum increase of 0.38 ± 0.09°C. There was no significant difference in the increase in temperature regarding the main effect of time interval (F = 0.705, p = 0.620), the main effect of distance (F = 0.788, p = 0.563), or the multiplication interaction between time interval and distance (F = 1.100, p = 0.342).

Conclusions
Our study provides evidence supporting the enhancement of blood clot lysis in an in vitro model of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage through the combined use of ultrasound and urokinase. Further animal experiments are necessary to validate the experimental methods and results.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Identification of the molecular culprits of allergic reactions leveraged molecular allergology applications in clinical laboratory medicine. Molecular allergology shifted the focus from complex, heterogeneous allergenic extracts, e.g. pollen, food, or insect venom, towards genetically and immunologically defined proteins available for in vitro diagnosis. Molecular allergology is a precision medicine approach for the diagnosis, stratification, therapeutic management, follow-up and prognostic evaluation of patients within a large range of allergic diseases. Exclusively available for in vitro diagnosis, molecular allergology is nonredundant with any of the current clinical tools for allergy investigation. As an example of a major application, discrimination of genuine sensitization from allergen cross-reactivity at the molecular level allows the proper targeting of the culprit allergen and thus dramatically improves patient management. This review aims at introducing clinical laboratory specialists to molecular allergology, from the biochemical and genetic bases, through immunological concepts, to daily use in the diagnosis and management of allergic diseases.

Alignment in Vamale, South Oceanic: Diachrony and contact influence
Authors: Rohleder Jean 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This article describes three homophonous morphemes ka integral to alignment in Vamale, a South Oceanic language: a relational classifier, a subject marker clitic, and a possessive linker in nominalizations. Northern New Caledonian languages tend towards ergativity, while southern ones favour accusative alignment in all domains. Vamale is spoken near the border between the two and shows a fascinating pattern: one system in nouns, another in verbs, and a third one in nominalizations. Using first-hand field data, this article introduces the relevant concepts with examples and compares Vamale to its neighbours. While the development of this system remains speculative, we argue that the language has assimilated to its powerful neighbour Cèmuhî.
Influence of austempering temperatures on microstructure and wear performance of solution strengthened ferritic ductile cast irons
Authors: Teker T. , Yilmaz S. O. , Bulus E. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The object of this study was to analyze the effect of diverse austempering temperature on microstructure of solution strengthened ferritic ductile cast irons. Austempering was carried out at 300, 500, 550 and 600 °C for period of 3 h followed by air-cooling. Samples were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. The adhesive wear experiment of the samples was done in dry sliding conditions. The worn surface of the sample was examined by SEM. The dimensions and proportions of the ausferrite and bainitic phases in the matrix changed with the austempering temperature. The nodules exhibited very good dispersion behavior in the solution strengthened ferritic ductile iron matrix. The transformation of acicular ferrite showed a significant bainite characteristic. The rate of wear increased with the increasing austempering temperature.
Asymmetric Impact of Financial Development on Economic Growth in Mauritius

Published: May 2024

Abstract
This paper examines the asymmetric impact of financial development on economic growth in Mauritius during the period 1980–2021. The analyses were carried out using a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model in conjunction with additional complementary tests, including the NARDL bounds F-test for cointegration, the Brock-Dechert-Scheinkman (BDS) nonlinearity test, and the Wald test for asymmetries. The findings of the bounds F-test provide support for a nonlinear cointegration, whereas the BDS test shows the presence of nonlinearity in the data for all the variables. The Wald test results revealed an asymmetric relationship between financial development and economic growth in Mauritius, both in the short and long run. The NARDL findings show that, on average, positive changes in financial development lead to economic growth in the long and short run. Therefore, the paper encourages the government of Mauritius to continue pursuing policies aimed at the expansion of its financial sector since it has a significant positive impact on its economic growth.
Interkulturelle Theologie im Horizont der Pfingstkirchen: Herausforderungen und Potenziale
Authors: Jahnel Claudia 
Published: May 2024

Zusammenfassung
Pfingstkirchen wurden in der Interkulturellen Theologie in den letzten Jahrzehnten wissenschaftstheoretisch primär als transkulturelle religiöse Phänomene betrachtet und analysiert. Intersektionale Dynamiken und Verhandlungen auf den Schnittstellen von gender-, race- und class-bezogenen Diskriminierungen spielen hingegen in der Theoriebildung bislang kaum eine Rolle. In der Spannung und Verbindung von transkulturellen und intersektionalen Dynamiken liegen jedoch besondere Herausforderungen und Potenziale, die Pfingstkirchen für Interkulturelle Theologie heute bieten. Der Beitrag untersucht konkrete Entwicklungen im Feld der Forschung insbesondere zum „Black Pentecostalism“ und entwickelt daraus Perspektiven für eine verschränkte transkulturelle und intersektionale Forschung.

Published: May 2024

El enfoque por competencias parece ser una alternativa viable para evaluar el aprendizaje de la investigación a corto y mediano plazo. El objetivo del estudio es describir las competencias y experiencias en investigación de estudiantes mexicanos de educación superior y su estabilidad en el tiempo. Se trata de un estudio mixto en tres etapas: en la primera etapa se aplicó un cuestionario a 151 estudiantes mexicanos, en la segunda se realizó una evaluación cualitativa de un grupo al terminar un curso de Metodología de la Investigación y en la tercera se dio seguimiento a esos estudiantes un año después. La competencia más desarrollada por los participantes fue el dominio metodológico, los menores puntajes se presentaron en el dominio de comunicación oral y de comunicación escrita, mientras que el seguimiento a un año muestra que los estudiantes conservaron las competencias adquiridas. Se requiere enfatizar el desarrollo de competencias comunicativas en los cursos de investigación y establecer seguimientos sistemáticos de su aprendizaje.
