Adaptation through organism-induced environmental transformations—a systems representation
Authors: Gregorius Hans-Rolf 
Published: April 2024

AbstractEnvironments affect phenotypes through two elementary functions: modifying (by affecting the development of individuals’ phenotypes) and adaptive (by determining the phenotypes’ adaptive significance). Adaptation may be perceived to coordinate the two functions, which may even be performed by the same environmental factor. Organismic transformation of the environment can again affect both functions, where the adaptive functions are commonly addressed via notions of “niche/habitat construction” or “extended phenotype” and modifying function are largely ignored. The multi-causal role of these transformations in evolution and adaptation is hard to model and formalize using standard tools. To arrive at a more comprehensive representation, a systems approach is taken that allows classification and generalization of earlier results and the outlining of new insights. These include the following: $$*$$

∗

Temporary transformation (restricted to one adaptational episode) is structurally equivalent to adaptation without transformation and therefore provide no new insights. $$*$$

∗

Prolonged transformation (extending over several episodes) in either adaptive or modifying environments promotes adaptational coordination between the two functions but ultimately prevents persistent adaptedness. $$*$$

∗

The success of transformations of the adaptive environment that do not affect the modifying environment depends on the diversity in the system states rather than on phenogenetic plasticity. $$*$$

∗

A substantial difference between transformation of the adaptive and of the modifying environment is that adaptation can be reached within a single episode via transformation of the modifying environment, even if the adaptive environment has no modifying effect. The evolutionary consequences await explicit model analysis. $$*$$

∗

Migration can be interpreted in terms of environmental transformation of either function, modifying or adaptive, by replacing transformation between environments by migration between them. Established results from migration models can help to reassess existing models of adaptation by environmental transformation and to design new models.
Food-web complexity, consumer behavior, and diet specialism: impacts on ecosystem stability

Published: April 2024

AbstractEcological stability is a fundamental aspect of food web dynamics. In this study, we explore the factors influencing stability in complex ecological networks, characterizing it through biomass oscillations and species persistence. Using an Extended Niche model, we generate diverse food web structures and investigate the effects of intraspecific consumer interference, network size, connectance, and diet specialism on stability. Our findings reveal that intraspecific consumer interference plays a pivotal role in shaping stability. Higher interference results in stable dynamics, reducing oscillations and extinctions. Additionally, differences emerge between food webs comprised of invertebrate consumers and those of ectotherm vertebrates, with the latter showing higher oscillations. Network size and connectance also influence stability, where larger and more connected webs tend to exhibit reduced oscillations. Overall, our study sheds light on the complex interplay of factors affecting ecological stability in food webs. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management.

AbstractThe 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification has updated the definition of grade 2 gliomas and the presence of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation has been deemed the cornerstone of diagnosis. Though slow-growing and having a low proliferative index, grade 2 gliomas are incurable by surgery and complementary treatments are vital to improving prognosis. This guideline provides recommendations on the multidisciplinary treatment of grade 2 astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas based on the best evidence available.
Dating Apps and Shifting Sexual Subjectivities of Men Seeking Men Online
Authors: Adam Barry D , Brennan David J , Davies Adam WJ , Collict David 
Published: April 2024

AbstractLeading theories of the recent history of sexuality have pointed to trends toward detraditionalization and precarity in intimate relations, but also to democratization and innovation. This study grounded in 79 qualitative interviews with men seeking men online considers their experiences in light of these theories. The rise of dating apps has generated sexual fields that have shaped the sexual subjectivities of the current era in multiple ways. The narratives of study participants show much more than the hook-up culture that dating apps are best known for. They speak to experiences of superficiality, unmet expectations, and sometimes bruising intersections with hierarchies defined by age, race, body type, gender expression, and serostatus. Yet at the same time, they show a strong aspiration to sociability, social network building, and reach for a language of affiliation beyond the kin and friendship terms of the larger society. Generational comparisons indicate the shifting sexual subjectivities that dating apps have shaped by constituting virtual sexual fields.

Published: April 2024

AbstractRecently, the looming bankruptcy of Credit Suisse, which ultimately led to its merger with UBS, has intensified the discussion surrounding the need for more transparent and democratic financial markets. Decentralized finance (DeFi) represents a departure from traditional financial intermediation by leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts. Despite its growing importance, limited research has been conducted on the business models of DeFi services. This study aims to address this gap by examining the business models of various DeFi services, identifying key drivers of innovation, differentiation, and value creation. Using a rigorous taxonomy development framework, we identify 12 dimensions and 47 characteristics that operationalize business models in DeFi. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the transformation of financial services through blockchain technology and provide valuable insights for DeFi entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers.
Performance improvements in complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices and circuits based on fin field-effect transistors using 3-nm ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2

AbstractIn this work, a conventional HfO2 gate dielectric layer is replaced with a 3-nm ferroelectric (Fe) HZO layer in the gate stacks of advanced fin field-effect transistors (FinFETs). Fe-induced characteristics, e.g., negative drain induced barrier lowering (N-DIBL) and negative differential resistance (NDR), are clearly observed for both p- and n-type HZO-based FinFETs. These characteristics are attributed to the enhanced ferroelectricity of the 3-nm hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) film, caused by Al doping from the TiAlC capping layer. This mechanism is verified for capacitors with structures similar to the FinFETs. Owing to the enhanced ferroelectricity and N-DIBL phenomenon, the drain current (IDS) of the HZO-FinFETs is greater than that of HfO2-FinFETs and obtained at a lower operating voltage. Accordingly, circuits based on HZO-FinFET achieve higher performance than those based on HfO2-FinFET at a low voltage drain (VDD), which indicates the application feasibility of the HZO-FinFETs in the ultra-low power integrated circuits.

Short-term salicylic acid application induces the expression of GPPS and NEPS1 in catnip
Authors: Allen Kirsten A. , Gomes Erik Nunes , Lockhart Anthony , Wu Qingli , Di Rong , Simon James E. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe catnip plant,Nepeta catariaL., produces bioactive iridoid monoterpenes known as nepetalactones. These monoterpenes follow a noncanonical biosynthetic route starting as isoprene monomers in the methylerythritol (MEP) pathway after condensation via geranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GPPS) and later cyclization through the iridoid pathway via nepetalactol-related short-chain dehydrogenase enzymes (NEPS). Nepetalactones exhibit insect repellant properties against disease-carrying vectors such as mosquitoes, bed bugs and ticks. Chemical elicitors such as salicylic acid have been used to induce biochemical changes in medicinal and aromatic plant species including catnip that can temporarily increase the yield and quality of secondary metabolites. This is the first study to correlate the effects of short-term salicylic acid application on the genes in the nepetalactone biosynthetic pathway. Both 0.5 mM SA and 1.0 mM SA resulted in upregulation ofGPPSandNEPS1. However, within the 24-h time course of the study significant changes in nepetalactone yield were not observed. Correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between the mRNA transcript abundance forGPPSandNEPS1demonstrating a low positive co-expression strength for the two genes.
Application of the van’t Hoff equation to phase equilibria
Authors: Carrero J. I. 
Published: April 2024

Abstractvan’t Hoff and Clausius–Clapeyron equations correspond to chemical and phase equilibria, respectively, but the Clausius–Clapeyron equation can be also a result of the application of van’t Hoff equation to the liquid–vapor or solid–vapor phase equilibrium of pure substances. Moreover, the application of van’t Hoff to gas–liquid and solid–liquid equilibrium data makes it possible to obtain enthalpies of dissolution. Examples based on published experimental data are included for all cases.
Knowing me, knowing you: an experiment on mutual payoff information in the stag hunt and Prisoner's Dilemma

Published: April 2024

AbstractWe experimentally study how mutual payoff information affects strategic play. Subjects play the Prisoner's Dilemma or Stag Hunt game against randomly re-matched opponents under two information treatments. In our partial-information treatment, subjects are shown only their own payoff structure, while in our full-information treatment they are shown both their own and their opponent's payoff structure. In both treatments, they receive feedback on their opponent's action after each round. We find that mutual payoff information initially facilitates reaching the socially optimal outcome in both games. Play in the Prisoner's Dilemma converges toward the unique Nash equilibrium of the game under both information treatments, while in the Stag Hunt mutual payoff information has a substantial impact on play and equilibrium selection in all rounds of the game. Belief-learning model estimations and simulations suggest these effects are driven by both initial play and the way subjects learn.

Published: April 2024

AbstractThe objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of remote implementation of the ACT Raising Safe Kids (ACT-RSK) program. The ACT-RSK program is an evidence-based group parenting program designed to promote positive parenting. The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated the creation of a remote implementation guide to deliver the program via telehealth. A small (N = 21) sample of caregivers of children aged 1 to 10 living in the USA participated in the 9-week program and completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. ACT Facilitators provided feasibility and fidelity feedback through a focus group and questionnaires. There was a significant improvement in positive parenting skills and a decrease in verbal and physical punishment. There were no improvements in parental nurturing or limiting and monitoring children’s media use. Facilitators and participants found remote implementation to be feasible and acceptable. Facilitators were able to maintain high fidelity to the model. The remote implementation of the ACT-RSK program has benefits to positive parental behaviors and discipline, but possibly not limiting and monitoring of children’s media use and nurturing behavior. However, characteristics of families’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced these results. Remote implementation of the ACT-RSK program can be useful for promoting positive parental behaviors and discipline.

AbstractThe optimization of blasting operations greatly benefits from the prediction of rock fragmentation. The main factors that affect fragmentation are rock mass characteristics, blast geometry, and explosive properties. This paper is a step towards the implementation of machine learning and deep learning algorithms for predicting the extent of fragmentation (in percentage) in open pit mining. While various parameters can affect rock fragmentation, this study considers ten among them (i.e., spacing, drill hole diameter, burden, average bench height, powder factor, number of holes, charge per delay, uniaxial compressive strength, specific drilling, and stemming) to train and test the models. However, due to a weak correlation with rock fragmentation, drill diameter, average bench height, compressive strength, stemming, and charge per delay are eliminated to reduce model complexity. A total of 219 data sets having five input features including the number of holes, spacing, burden, specific drilling, and powder factor are used to develop the models. Machine learning models (random forest regression, support vector regression, and XG boost), as well as a deep learning model (neural network regression), are applied to develop a practical way that can optimize the prediction of fragmentation. This study employs performance measures such as R-squared, RMSE, MSE, MAPE, and MAE. The optimization of the model revealed promising results, indicating that the architecture 5-64-32-16-1 exhibits strong performance. Specifically, the model achieved mean squared error (MSE) values of 41.32 and 28.59 on the training and test datasets, respectively. The R2 value for both training and test is 0.83. RFR is also performing well compared to SVR and XG boost with MSE values of 12.37 and 9.89 on training and testing data, respectively.in both sets, the R2 value is 94%. Based on permutation importance and shapely plot values, it is observed that the powder factor has the highest impact, while the burden has the lowest impact on fragmentation.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
This study focuses on solving the initial-boundary value problem for a one-dimensional non-stationary nonlinear system of moment equations in the second approximation. We prove the existence of a unique local in-time solution of the problem under consideration in the space of functions that are continuous in time and square integrable over the spatial variable x. To solve the direct and inverse problems for this system, we develop an iterative numerical method and reduce the system of moment equations to canonical form. Furthermore, we present the software implementation of the algorithms and their application for solving inverse problems related to determining the speed and surface temperature of an aircraft, as well as atmospheric parameters. We provide the results of numerical experiments conducted to validate our approach.

Architecture gothique et pensée scolastique
, célèbre ouvrage d’Erwin Panofsky paru en français en 1967 aux éditions de Minuit, dans la collection de Pierre Bourdieu, qui l’a traduit, édité et postfacé. En examinant les conditions de possibilité de cette rencontre transatlantique et transdisciplinaire
a priori
improbable, survenue en 1966-1967, entre un jeune sociologue alors en début de carrière, établi à Paris, et un vieil historien mondialement connu résidant à Princeton, il vise à historiciser cette œuvre classique et à la relire de façon réflexive. Au carrefour de la sociologie historique des sciences sociales, de l’histoire de l’édition et de l’histoire des circulations intellectuelles transnationales, il invite plus largement à dénaturaliser nos pratiques de lecture en prenant pour objet nos héritages scientifiques. Pour ce faire, sont analysés successivement la formation du jeune Bourdieu et les premières réceptions de Panofsky en France dans les années 1950-1960, le contexte intellectuel et éditorial de cette importation dont les multiples enjeux sont explicités, les modalités concrètes de l’édition et de la traduction du livre, puis la genèse de la postface, où le concept bourdieusien d’habitus a été systématisé pour la première fois, au prix de malentendus que les archives permettent de documenter et de dissiper.
Enfermement et graffiti
Authors: Calafat Guillaume 
Published: April 2024

Résumé
Entrepris au début des années 2000, les travaux de restauration du bâtiment qui abritait les prisons de l’Inquisition de Palerme à l’époque moderne ont permis la redécouverte et l’étude historienne d’une impressionnante série de graffiti. Avec son livre,
Del Santo Uffizio in Sicilia e delle sue carceri
, Giovanna Fiume propose une riche synthèse de travaux individuels et collectifs qu’elle a consacrés à ces archives murales du tribunal palermitain. En faisant dialoguer l’histoire des procédures et l’histoire matérielle de la réclusion, elle parvient à identifier les auteurs possibles des inscriptions et des dessins exposés sur les parois des cellules. Elle met ainsi en lumière des trajectoires de prisonniers et des expériences de l’enfermement que les actes judiciaires taisent souvent. Ces graffiti offrent en effet une nouvelle strate documentaire pour mieux comprendre le système judiciaire, pénal et carcéral de l’Inquisition. Plus largement, cet ouvrage s’inscrit dans le sillage d’une efflorescence de recherches récentes, à la confluence des études littéraires, de l’anthropologie et de l’histoire de l’art, dédiées aux prisons et aux graffiti, qui s’intéressent tout à la fois à la dimension patrimoniale et scientifique, esthétique et ethnographique de ces empreintes graphiques. Cette note critique en propose une lecture et un état des lieux, comme autant de pistes méthodologiques et historiographiques pour documenter la vie sociale et intellectuelle à l’intérieur des prisons.
Monetizing Animal Welfare Impacts for Benefit–Cost Analysis
Authors: Budolfson Mark , Espinosa Romain , Fischer Bob , Treich Nicolas 
Published: April 2024

AbstractAnimal welfare is often ignored in decision-making, despite widespread agreement about its importance. This is partly because of a lack of quantitative methods to assess the impacts of policies on humans and nonhumans alike on a common scale. At the same time, recent work in economics, philosophy, and animal welfare science has made progress on the fundamental theoretical challenge of estimating the well-being potential of different species on a single scale. By combining these estimates of each species’ well-being potential with assessments of how various policies impact the quality of life for these species, along with the number of animals affected, we can arrive at a framework for estimating the impact of policies on animal health and well-being. This framework allows for a quantifiable comparison between policies affecting humans and animals. For instance, it enables us to compare human QALYs to animal QALYs tailored to specific species. Hence, the intrinsic value of animal welfare impacts of policies can be monetized on the same scale as market and non-market impact for humans, facilitating benefit–cost analysis. Many challenges remain though, including issues of population ethics, political feasibility, and new complexities in addressing equity and uncertainty.
A retrospective analysis of iv ketamine outcome on hospitalisations in an unselected psychiatric sample
Authors: Sandström Karl , Kampman Olli , Asellus Peter 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Objective:
This study aims to explore the outcome with iv ketamine treatment in a real-world clinical setting, primarily measured as posttreatment days hospitalised.

Methods:
The psychiatric medical records of 46 patients having received iv ketamine on a psychiatric treatment indication between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively examined. Analysis comparing the number and duration of hospital admissions before and after ketamine treatment as well as logistic regression analysis to investigate clinical predictors of effectiveness, were performed. To assess patients’ severity of depressed symptoms records were screened for MADRS-S scores.

Results:
No significant difference between pre- and posttreatment hospital days (p = 0.170), or number of hospitalisations (p = 0.740) were found. The response rate was 31% and remission rate 21%. None of the predictors showed statistical significance in the logistic model.

Conclusion:
Iv ketamine treatment showed effectiveness in reducing depressive symptoms even with complex patients in a real-world clinical setting. However, this did not translate to a reduction in hospitalisation. Highlighting the multifaceted challenges posed when implementing iv ketamine treatment in clinical practice.
