Abstract
Apoptosis plays an essential role in the removal of activated CD8 T cells that are no longer required during or postinfection. The Bim-dependent intrinsic pathway of apoptosis removes effector CD8 T cells upon clearance of viral infection, which is driven by withdrawal of growth factors. Binding of Fas ligand to Fas mediates activation-induced T cell death in vitro and cooperates with Bim to eliminate CD8 T cells during chronic infection in vivo, but it is less clear how this pathway of apoptosis is initiated. In this study, we show that the costimulatory TNFR CD27 provides a dual trigger that can enhance survival of CD8 T cells, but also removal of activated CD8 T cells through Fas-driven apoptosis. Using in vitro stimulation assays of murine T cells with cognate peptide, we show that CD27 increases T cell survival after stimulation with low doses of Ag, whereas CD27 induces Fas-driven T cell apoptosis after stimulation with high doses of Ag. In vivo, the impact of constitutive CD70-driven stimulation on the accumulation of memory and effector CD8 T cells is limited by Fas-driven apoptosis. Furthermore, introduction of CD70 signaling during acute infection with influenza virus induces Fas-dependent elimination of influenza-specific CD8 T cells. These findings suggest that CD27 suppresses its costimulatory effects on T cell survival through activation of Fas-driven T cell apoptosis to maintain T cell homeostasis during infection.

MI and Psychotherapy
Authors: Miller William R. 
Published: March 2012

How is motivational interviewing (MI) related to psychotherapy more generally? In its original formulation MI was intended to address the specific problem of ambivalence about change. It was not designed as a comprehensive psychotherapy or model of change. Subsequent clinical experience, however, suggests ways in which the spirit and method of MI may be useful throughout processes of change. Implications for a volitional psychotherapy are considered, with additional discussion of clinical applications of decisional balance.
Motive Hunting in the Case of Richard Hathaway
Authors: Apps Lara 
Published: March 2012

ABSTRACT
Richard Hathaway, a London blacksmith's apprentice, was convicted of fraud and imposture in 1702 for falsely accusing Sarah Morduck of bewitching him. Historians of English witchcraft have cited this case as evidence of judicial skepticism toward the crime of witchcraft and of continuing popular belief in it; however, detailed and thorough analysis of the primary sources has been lacking in the scholarly literature. Through a comparative analysis of the four major contemporary accounts, this article explores the motives and representational strategies of the participants in the case and of those who composed the accounts. Hathaway's accusation against Morduck was malicious; a desire to profit from selling the story of Hathaway's bewitchment was a likely motive for the false accusation. The very different versions of Hathaway and Morduck that emerge from this research illustrate the dangers of relying on single sources for witchcraft cases.
Carnal Knowledge: The Epistemology of Sexual Trauma in Witches' Sabbaths, Satanic Ritual Abuse, and Alien Abduction Narratives
Authors: Laycock Joseph 
Published: March 2012

ABSTRACT
There are strong similarities between the confessions taken from accused witches in early modern Europe, the testimony of Satanic ritual abuse taken by modern therapists, and accounts of alien abduction given under hypnosis. In each of these narratives, a subject describes horrible sexual transgressions performed on them at the hand of a mysterious other: the thorny penis of the Devil, the bizarre anal insertions of Satanists, and the mysterious probing of aliens. The motive behind these sexual acts is never revealed and the existence of the perpetrators is usually in doubt. This article suggests that sexual trauma serves an epistemological function. For such apparent victims, a belief in demons, Satanists, or aliens provides a meaningful worldview, and narratives of sexual transgressions maintain and even compound these beliefs. “Carnal knowledge”—knowledge through sexual encounters—is privileged above visual or auditory encounters, and is therefore more useful for constructing meaningful cosmologies in which human beings may interact with the divine. Carnal knowledge was a privileged form of epistemology in pre-Christian cultures. Since the days of the early Christian Church and the equation of sexuality with sin, carnal knowledge has survived in the form of masochistic and traumatic sexual encounters.

Passenger flow estimation of transit systems is essential for new decisions about additional facilities and feeder lines. For increasing the efficiency of an existing transit line, stations which are insufficient for trip production and attraction should be examined first. Such investigation supports decisions for feeder line projects which may seem necessary or futile according to the findings. In this study, passenger flow of a light rail transit (LRT) system in Izmir, Turkey is estimated by using multiple regression and feed-forward back-propagation type of artificial neural networks (ANN). The number of alighting passengers at each station is estimated as a function of boarding passengers from other stations. It is found that ANN approach produced significantly better estimations specifically for the low passenger attractive stations. In addition, ANN is found to be more capable for the determination of trip-attractive parts of LRT lines. Keywords: light rail transit, multiple regression, artificial neural networks, public transportation

Published: March 2012

The following paper aims to illustrate certain investigative activities in the forensic analysis and examination of the scene of traffic accidents. When a traffic accident occurs, the scene must be secured as soon as possible to enable professional and proper forensic investigation. Failure to secure the accident scene might result in losing or contaminating the traces, which makes it more difficult to prove or explain trace evidence in further procedure or even makes such evidence inadmissible. The topic is discussed from the viewpoint of crime scene examination, since analysing and investigating traffic accidents requires a great deal of expertise and attention of the investigators. Complex traffic accidents include feigned accidents, hit-and-run accidents as well as accidents in which the driver and passengers, dead or alive, need to be identified. In identifying the passengers, standard criminal investigation methods as well as police forensic and forensic medicine methods are followed. Such methods include confirming the identities with identity documents, other documents and vehicle ownership, fingerprints, biological traces, fibre traces, contact traces, traces of physical injuries on the driver and passengers, etc. According to the results obtained in fingerprint detection on human skin surfaces, this method can also be applied in confirming physical contact between the driver and the passengers in the accident, e.g. in the event of moving the victims and changing the scene of the accident. Key words: traffic accidents, accident analysis, driver's identity, passengers' position, finger marks, human skin

O transtorno obsessivo compulsivo (TOC) é um transtorno psiquiátrico crônico que atinge de 1 a 2% da população de crianças e adolescentes, necessitando de uma abordagem adequada durante o atendimentoodontológico devido ao aumento da ansiedade, às medicações utilizadas no tratamento do transtorno e, possivelmente, devido a comportamentos compulsivos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi fazer um levantamentobibliográfico a respeito das principais características do TOC na infância e adolescência e trazer informações importantes para o atendimento odontológico destes pacientes. Após a análise da literatura, ficou claro queo TOC é um transtorno de ansiedade, e, por esta razão, é natural que estes pacientes apresentem-se muito ansiosos durante uma consulta odontológica. Sendo assim, é de grande importância que o odontopediatra tenha conhecimento de técnicas de controle de comportamento e ansiedade adequadas a estes pacientes. Além disso, o profissional deve avaliar possíveis interações com antibióticos, anestésicos e vasoconstrictores, com o objetivo de minimizar os riscos para o paciente. O uso de antidepressivos frequentemente resulta em hipossalivação. O incentivo a uma boa higiene bucal (com vigilância do responsável à compulsão por limpeza) associado ao uso de cremes e géis fluoretados, colutórios antissépticos e visitas frequentes ao dentista podem reduzir a incidência de lesões de cárie rampantes, doença periodontal e outros distúrbios associados à deficiência na produção de saliva.Descritores: Odontopediatria.

ImportanceAbortion bans may lead to births among those who are unable to overcome barriers to abortion. The population-level effects of these policies, particularly their unequal impacts across subpopulations in the US, remain unclear.ObjectiveTo assess heterogeneity in the association of abortion bans with changes in fertility in the US, within and across states.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsDrawing from birth certificate and US Census Bureau data from 2012 through 2023 for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, this study used a bayesian panel data model to evaluate state-by-subgroup-specific changes in fertility associated with complete or 6-week abortion bans in 14 US states. The average percent and absolute change in the fertility rate among females aged 15 through 44 years was estimated overall and by state, and within and across states by age, race and ethnicity, marital status, education, and insurance payer.ExposureComplete or 6-week abortion ban.Main outcome and MeasuresFertility rate (births per 1000 reproductive-aged females) overall and by subgroups.ResultsThere were an estimated 1.01 (95% credible interval [CrI], 0.45-1.64) additional births above expectation per 1000 females aged 15 through 44 years (reproductive age) in states following adoption of abortion bans (60.55 observed vs 59.54 expected; 1.70% increase; 95% CrI, 0.75%-2.78%), equivalent to 22 180 excess births, with evidence of variation by state and subgroup. Estimated differences above expectation were largest for racially minoritized individuals (≈2.0%), unmarried individuals (1.79%), individuals younger than 35 years (≈2.0%), Medicaid beneficiaries (2.41%), and those without college degrees (high school diploma, 2.36%; some college, 1.58%), particularly in southern states. Differences in race and ethnicity and education across states explain most of the variability in the state-level association between abortion bans and fertility rates.Conclusion and RelevanceThese findings provide evidence that fertility rates in states with abortion bans were higher than would have been expected in the absence of these policies, with the largest estimated differences among subpopulations experiencing the greatest structural disadvantages and in states with among the worst maternal and child health and well-being outcomes.

ImportanceQuantifying the association between the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and Ukrainians’ mental health is crucial for guiding reconstruction and rebuilding efforts in the postwar period.ObjectiveTo examine the association between war exposure and civilians’ mental health in both the short and medium term and the potential channels through which these associations occur.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study used data from 7 nationally representative surveys conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology between December 4, 2015, and July 18, 2022. Six surveys were conducted before the war and one during the ongoing conflict in July 2022. Each survey included approximately 2000 respondents aged 18 to 95 years in 110 localities.ExposureThe magnitude of war damage exposure was represented by an indicator variable set to 1 if an oblast (province) experienced severe war damage and 0 if the damage was moderate at the time of the survey. The classification of severe or moderate damage was based on the economic losses incurred.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcomes were respondents’ self-reported thoughts of suicide and feelings of helplessness, both represented as dummy variables.ResultsThe sample included 14 140 respondents, with 3933 (27.8%) exposed to severe war damage and 10 207 (72.2%) to moderate war damage. These included 8174 female respondents (57.8%), with an overall mean (SD) age of 48.9 (16.8) years. The differences in the likelihood of reporting suicidal thoughts and feelings of helplessness between areas with severe vs moderate war damage increased by 2.2 percentage points (β estimate, 0.022 [SE, 0.006]; 95% CI, 0.009-0.036) and 4.9 percentage points (β estimate, 0.049 [SE, 0.019]; 95% CI, 0.009-0.088), respectively. Subsample analyses revealed that male respondents were more vulnerable to suicidal thoughts (β estimate, 0.030 [SE, 0.013]; 95% CI, 0.004-0.056), while female respondents were more at risk of feelings of helplessness (β estimate, 0.063 [SE, 0.024]; 95% CI, 0.013-0.113).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this survey study of war exposure, bombing was associated with increased mental health concerns among civilians, including a higher likelihood of suicidal thoughts and feelings of helplessness, which may hinder postwar recovery. These findings suggest that policymakers should prioritize creating job opportunities and ensuring a safe living environment to support citizens’ recovery in the aftermath of conflict.

AbstractPerovskite photodetectors with superior optoelectronic properties, lightweight, and compatibility with flexible substrates have attracted much attention in wearable electronics. However, the large bandgap, inherent brittleness, poor environmental stability, and weak interfacial adhesion interaction between perovskites and substrates hinder the application of near‐infrared (NIR) wearable devices. Herein, a universal strategy to enhance the performance and mechanical stability of flexible perovskite NIR photodetector arrays is demonstrated through a combination of mussel‐inspired self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) bridging interface and precise modulation of the nano‐array size, which enables to significantly increase interfacial adhesion, crystallinity, crystallographic orientation, and reduce mechanical stresses of perovskite single‐crystal arrays. Moreover, inserting paddle‐wheel metal–organic cluster ligands lead to an unprecedented small bandgap of 1.04 eV, enhanced lattice rigidity, and environmental stability for 2D perovskite. The flexible perovskite NIR photodetector arrays with superior mechanical robustness and record NIR performance are revealed with a maximum response wavelength of 1050 nm, a responsivity of 1.66 A W−1, detectivity of 6.19 × 1012 Jones, high fidelity imaging, and extra‐long environmental stability. This work pioneers a new insight into the integration of high‐performance and mechanically durable perovskite flexible wearable devices.

AbstractWith the increasing use of polylactic acid (PLA), more attention is turning to its post‐treatment. Current methods such as natural decomposition, composting, and incineration are limited by significant carbon dioxide emissions and resource waste. Here, an efficient electrocatalytic conversion approach is presented to transform PLA waste into high‐value chemicals, particularly potassium acetate (AA‐K). By combining experimental and theoretical calculation, a high‐performance catalyst Ni(Co)OOH is developed, which exhibits a current density of 403 mA cm⁻2 at 1.40 V (vs RHE) with 96% Faraday efficiency for AA‐K in the electrooxidation of potassium lactate (LA‐K, the product of PLA degradation in KOH). Through in situ spectroscopy techniques and density functional theory calculations, the structural regulation of the catalyst, and reaction pathways of the electrooxidation are elucidated. Further experiments demonstrate the superior catalytic performance of the Ni(Co)OOH catalyst in an industrial‐scale tandem system. In 2 h of electrolysis, 320 g of PLA waste produces 232 L of H₂, yielding 1200 g of AA‐K with 97% purity after neutralization and drying. The system demonstrates high conversion efficiency (approaching 97%) for diverse real PLA waste forms, including powder, cups, fibers, and cloth. This research provides a scalable and sustainable approach for PLA waste upcycling.

AbstractQuantum steering is a form of quantum correlation that exhibits an inherent asymmetry, distinguishing it from entanglement and Bell nonlocality. It is now understood that quantum steering plays a pivotal role in asymmetric quantum information tasks. In this work, a scheme is proposed to generate asymmetric steering between two mechanical modes by transferring quantum coherence from a correlated‐emission laser. To accomplish this, quantum Langevin equations is derived to describe the optomechanical coupling between two cavity modes and two mechanical modes along with the master equation of two‐mode laser. By examining the case where the cavity modes scatter at the anti‐Stokes sidebands, it is demonstrated that both two‐way and one‐way steering can be achieved by adjusting the strength of the field driving the gain medium of the laser. Furthermore, it is showed that the direction of one‐way steering can be controlled by varying the temperatures of the mechanical baths or the strengths of the optomechanical couplings. Additionally, it is revealed that the directionality of one‐way steering depends on the modes fluctuation levels of the modes, with the mode exhibiting larger fluctuations determining the direction. This highly controllable scheme could potentially be realized with current technology, offering a promising platform for implementing one‐way quantum information tasks.

AbstractAlthough remarkable breakthroughs have been witnessed in the field of perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs), achieving efficient and stable blue PeLEDs still remains as a critical challenge to towards commercial applications. Inspired by the protection effect and water‐repellent properties of swan feathers, 2H,2H,3H,3H‐heptadecafluoroundecanoic acid (HFUA) has been designed as adsorbed functional molecule for blue perovskites, which can simultaneously enhance the electroluminescence performance and moisture stability. The HFUA molecule features a long‐chain structure where the carboxylic acid group acts as an anchor, coordinating with undercoordinated lead atoms in blue perovskites. The fluorine atoms at the opposite end of the chain form ionic bonds with the halogen octahedron, thereby stabilizing the octahedral structure. In addition, HFUA adsorption lowers the adsorption energy of organic spacers on the perovskite lattice, optimizing the reduced‐dimensional phase distribution to facilitate smooth exciton transfer. Furthermore, the unique molecular structure of HFUA, rich in fluorine atoms, enhances the hydrophobicity of the perovskite surface, effectively inhibiting moisture penetration and preventing perovskite hydrolysis. The target blue PeLEDs obtain a maximum external quantum efficiency of 22.88 % at 490 nm and exhibit greatly improved air stability under humid and high‐temperature conditions. Our findings provide a unique and effective strategy for producing efficient and stable blue PeLEDs.
