Published: May 2024

AbstractAdolescence is a key period for neurocognitive maturation where deviation from normal developmental trajectories may be tied to adverse mental health outcomes. Cognitive disruptions have been noted in populations at risk for psychosis and are known to accompany periods of sleep deprivation. This study aims to assess the role of cognition as a mediator between sleep disruptions and psychosis risk. A cohort of 3801 high school students (51% female, mean age = 12.8, SD = 0.45 years) was recruited from 31 Montreal high schools. Measures of sleep, psychotic-like experiences, inhibition, working memory, perceptual reasoning, and delayed recall were collected from participants on a yearly basis over the five years of their high school education. A multi-level model mediation analysis was performed controlling for sex and time squared. Response inhibition was shown to be associated with, and to mediate (B = −0.005, SD = 0.003, p = 0.005*) the relationship between sleep disruptions (B = −0.011, SD = 0.004, p < 0.001*) and psychotic-like experiences (B = 0.411, SD = 0.170, p = 0.005*). Spatial working memory deficits on a given year were associated with a higher frequency of psychotic-like experiences that same year (B = −0.046, SD = 0.018, p = 0.005*) and the following year (B = −0.051, SD = 0.023, p = 0.010*), but were not associated with sleep disturbances. No significant associations were found between our variables of interest and either delayed recall or perceptual reasoning at the within person level. Findings from this large longitudinal study provide evidence that the association between sleep disruptions and psychosis risk is specifically mediated by inhibitory rather than general cognitive impairments. The association of spatial working memory, response inhibition, and sleep disruptions with psychotic-like experiences suggests that these factors may represent potential targets for preventative interventions.

AbstractStaphylococcus aureusin the bloodstream causes high morbidity and mortality, exacerbated by the spread of multidrug-resistant and methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA). We aimed to characterize the circulating lineages ofS. aureusfrom bloodstream infections and the contribution of individual lineages to resistance over time. Here, we generated 852 high-quality short-read draft genome sequences ofS. aureusisolates from patient blood cultures in a single hospital from 2010 to 2022. A total of 80 previously recognized sequence types (ST) and five major clonal complexes are present in the population. Two frequently detected lineages, ST5 and ST8 exhibited fluctuating demographic structures throughout their histories. The rise and fall in their population growth coincided with the acquisition of antimicrobial resistance, mobile genetic elements, and superantigen genes, thus shaping the accessory genome structure across the entire population. These results reflect undetected selective events and changing ecology of multidrug-resistantS. aureusin the bloodstream.

Published: May 2024

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is an newly emerged enteropathogenic coronavirus, mainly causing diarrhea in suckling piglets, and also has the potential for cross-species transmission. However, there are no effective vaccines or specific therapeutic agents for PDCoV. This study investigates the antiviral properties of baicalein against PDCoV infection in swine testicle cells (ST). It reveals that baicalein exerts a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on PDCoV replication, primarily targeting the replication stage of the viral infection by impeding viral RNA and protein synthesis. Furthermore, treatment with baicalein leads to reduced phosphorylation of PI3K, AKT, and NF-κB p65 proteins, along with decreased mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α). These results signify that PDCoV replication is inhibited through the inhibition of the PI3K-Akt-NF-κB protein signaling pathway, thereby suppressing the inflammatory response. In conclusion, it underscores the potential of baicalein as a therapeutic candidate for treating PDCoV infection.
Safety-Seeking Behaviors and Anxiety Maintenance in People With Aphasia: A Viewpoint
Authors: Jewell Courtney C. , Harnish Stacy M. 
Published: May 2024

Purpose:
People with aphasia (PWA) often experience higher levels of anxiety and social isolation than people without aphasia. Although the presence of anxiety is appreciated in PWA, literature examining the etiology and persistent nature of anxiety in PWA is underdeveloped. Safety-seeking behaviors, or maladaptive acts used by individuals to decrease anxiety from a feared outcome, have been reported as key facilitators of long-term anxiety toward feared situations across a variety of clinical populations. The purpose of this viewpoint is to explore the concept of safety-seeking behaviors and discuss their potential relevance to the maintenance of anxiety in PWA. We further discuss the distinction between maladaptive (i.e., safety seeking) and adaptive (i.e., coping) behaviors and how this knowledge may improve the quality of clinical services for PWA.

Conclusions:
The present review advocates for further exploration of the safety-seeking behaviors that are used by PWA. Until critical attention is given to this subject, clinicians may remain ill-equipped to identify and depict whether a self-management strategy is facilitative or inhibitive to PWA's communicative participation goals. Critically, a behavior that may be “maladaptive” for one individual may be “adaptive” for another. Future research should seek to identify common behavioral and cognitive strategies that PWA implement to reduce acute perceptions of anxiety. This knowledge may help facilitate holistic aphasia rehabilitation by allowing clinicians to foster conversations around behaviors that inhibit or promote successful communicative participation.
A Comparison of In-Person and Remote Administration Results of the SCAN–3 for Adolescents and Adults: Tests for Auditory Processing Disorders Screening Subtests
Authors: Hatcher Allison , Weiler Brian 
Published: May 2024

Purpose:
Many standardized assessments in speech-language pathology can be administered via telepractice. However, the literature is limited on reporting the equivalency of assessment administration between in-person and remote testing. The SCAN–3 for Adolescents and Adults: Tests for Auditory Processing Disorders (SCAN-3:A) is widely used by speech-language pathologists and audiologists to screen for auditory processing disorder (APD). The purpose of this study was to compare in-person and remote administration results on the screening subtests of the SCAN-3:A to determine test–retest consistency across the two settings.

Method:
Eleven undergraduate and graduate students with normal hearing were administered the Gap Detection, Competing Words–Free Recall (CW-FR) and Auditory Figure Ground (AFG) screening subtests from the SCAN-3:A both in-person and via telepractice with the order counterbalanced across administrations. Specific modifications were made to accommodate remote assessment.

Results:

Screening pass/fail decisions were above 80% agreement for each of the three subtests. Significant correlations (
p
< .05) between in-person and remote scores were found for the CW-FR and AFG subtests. The mean score difference between administration type was not significant for the CW-FR subtest (
p =
.921) but was significant for the AFG subtest (
p
< .05).

Conclusions:
These preliminary findings provide tentative, partial support for remote administration of the SCAN-3:A with adherence to specific recommendations. Some technical challenges were reported as well as other logistical limitations associated with remote administration. Recommendations to accommodate telepractice considerations for remote screening of APD are provided.

Published: May 2024

Purpose:
One manifestation of systemic inequities in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) is the chronic underreporting and underrepresentation of sex, gender, race, and ethnicity in research. The present study characterized recent demographic reporting practices and representation of participants across CSD research.

Method:
We systematically reviewed and extracted key reporting and participant data from empirical studies conducted in the United States with human participants published in the year 2020 in journals by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA; 407 articles comprising a total of 80,058 research participants, search completed in November 2021). Sex, gender, race, and ethnicity were operationalized per National Institutes of Health guidelines.

Results:
Sex or gender was reported in 85.5% of included studies; race in 33.7%; and ethnicity in 13.8%. Sex and gender were clearly differentiated in 3.4% of relevant studies. Where reported, median proportions for race and ethnicity were significantly different from the U.S. population, with underrepresentation noted for all non-White racial groups and Hispanic participants. Moreover, 64.7% of studies that reported sex or gender and 67.2% of studies that reported race or ethnicity did not consider these respective variables in analyses or discussions.

Conclusions:
At present, research published in ASHA journals frequently fails to report key demographic data summarizing the characteristics of participants. Moreover, apparent gaps in the representation of minoritized racial and ethnic groups threaten the external validity of CSD research and broader health care equity endeavors in the United States. Although our study is limited to a single year and publisher, our results point to several steps for readers that may bring greater accountability, consistency, and diversity to the discipline.

Maritime distress target detection algorithm based on YOLOv5s‐EFOE network
Authors: Liu Kun , Ma Hongru , Xu Guofeng , Li Jianglong 
Published: May 2024

AbstractTraditional maritime search and rescue methods mainly rely on manual operation, which takes a long time to identify and results in poor search and rescue results. This paper applies computer vision technology to the field of maritime distress object detection and proposes an improved object detection algorithm YOLOv5s‐EFOE based on the YOLOv5s algorithm. Firstly, the authors change the detection head of the YOLOv5s algorithm to use a mixed channel strategy to build a more efficient decoupling head, reducing the number of 3 × 3 convolutional layers in the middle of the decoupling head to only one. The width of the head is scaled by the width multipliers of Backbone and Neck. Secondly, in conjunction with the SimOTA matching algorithm, the positive samples of the target to be tested are dynamically allocated to improve the recognition ability of different targets. Finally, considering the low pixel value of the maritime distress target from the perspective of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), the loss function CIoU in the original YOLOv5s is changed to EIoU. EIoU not only considers the distance and aspect ratio of the centre point, but also considers the true difference between the width and height of the prediction box and the real box, which improves the prediction accuracy of the anchor box. Experiments are conducted on a subset of the public dataset SeaDronesSee. The of the YOLOv5s‐EFOE model proposed in this paper reached 75.9%, reached 79.9%, and reached 44.5%. These indicators are superior to the original YOLOv5s model, YOLOv7 series models, and YOLOv8 series models. Compared with the original model, the YOLOv5s‐EFOE model has increased the by 5.4%, by 5.6%, and by 4.6%, improving the difficult to detect and missed detection situations. This model can be deployed on UAVs and can effectively identify maritime distress target, achieving the purpose of search and rescue.
EMISSA (Exploring millimetre indicators of solar-stellar activity)
Authors: Pandit Sneha , Wedemeyer Sven , Carlsson Mats 
Published: May 2024

Context. Amongst several spectral lines, some of the strongest chromospheric diagnostics are offered by the Ca II H & K lines. These lines can be used to gauge the temperature stratification of the atmosphere since the line core and wings are formed in different regions of the solar atmosphere. Furthermore, the Ca II lines act as tracers for the magnetic structure of the solar atmosphere, as the line cores are formed in the upper chromosphere even though they are formed in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE). In contrast, the formation of millimetre (mm) continuum radiation occurs under local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) conditions. As a result, the brightness temperatures obtained from observations with the Atacama Large Millimetre/Submillimetre Array (ALMA) offer a complementary perspective on the activity and thermal structure of stellar atmospheres.
Aims. The overall aim is to establish more robust solar/stellar activity indicators using ALMA observations in comparison with classical diagnostics, such as the s index and infrared triplet (IRT) index.
Methods. We employed the 1.5D radiative transfer codes RH1.5D and advanced radiative transfer (ART) to compute the synthetic spectra for the Ca II lines and the millimetre (mm) continua, respectively. These calculations were performed using an enhanced network atmosphere model, which incorporates non-equilibrium hydrogen ionisation generated by the state-of-the-art 3D radiation magnetohydrodynamics (rMHD) Bifrost code. To account for the limited spatial resolution of ALMA, we simulated the effect using a Gaussian point spread function (PSF). Additionally, we analysed the correlations and slopes of scatter plots between the Ca II indices and mm continuum for the original and degraded resolutions, focusing on the entire simulation box, quiet Sun regions, and enhanced network patches separately. The activity indices generated from these lines could further be used to compare the spectra of Sun-like stars with the solar spectrum.
Results. We present a comparative study between synthetic continuum brightness temperature maps at mm wavelengths (0.3 mm–8.5 mm) and the Ca II activity indices; namely, the s index and infrared triplet (IRT) index. The Ca II activity indices and mm brightness temperatures are weakly correlated at the high resolution, with the highest correlation observed at a wavelength of 0.3 mm, corresponding to ALMA band 10. As the resolution decreases, the correlation consistently increases. Conversely, the slopes exhibit a decreasing trend with increasing wavelength, while the degradation of resolution does not noticeably affect the calculated slopes.
Conclusions. As the spatial resolution decreases, the standard deviations of the Ca II activity indices and brightness temperatures decrease, while the correlations between them increase. However, the slopes do not exhibit significant changes. Consequently, these relationships could be valuable for calibrating the mm continuum maps obtained through ALMA observations.
The polarization-angle flip in GRB prompt emission
Authors: Cheng Kangfa , Zhao Xiaohong , Mao Jirong , Chen Zhifu 
Published: May 2024

Context.In recent years, some polarization measurements of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been reported, and the polarization-angle (PA) rotation in the prompt emission phase has been found in several bursts. The physical mechanism of the PA evolution is still unclear. In this work, we studied the origin of the PA rotation in a toroidal magnetic field.Aims.We aim to provide an explanation for the PA rotation in GRBs and find the physical conditions that lead to the rotation by 90 degrees in the toroidal magnetic-field (MF) model. Moreover, we present some observable polarization properties in the MF model that can be tested in the future.Methods.We calculated the instantaneous polarization degree (PD) from a top-hat jet with different normalized viewing angles (q = θv/θj), jet opening angles (θj), and jet Lorentz factors (Γ) in three wavebands. When the PD changes between positive and negative values, it means that the PA flips by 90 degrees. On these grounds, we can summarize the range of parameters required for these PA flips. Considering these parameter conditions, we can further estimate the observed rate of the GRBs exhibiting such PA rotations.Results.We find that the PA rotation in the toroidal MF is primarily related to three critical factors: the viewing angle, the jet opening angle, and the jet Lorentz factor. Additionally, the PA can experience flips of 90 degrees twice. The conditions for the flips areq ≳ 0.5 (except forq ≃ 1) andyj = (Γθj)2 ≳ 4. However, the two flips in the PA might not be concurrently observable due to the constraint of flux. Taking these conditions into account and assuming a random orientation between the jet axis and the line of sight (LOS), we obtain a theoretical upper limit (without any constraints) for the observed rate of GRBs in the X-ray orγ-ray band displaying the flips in PA asRch ≲ 80%. We further constrain the observed rate asRch ∼ 16% according to the maximal post-flip polarized flux level, where the observed rate of single and double flips each account for ∼8%. It should be noted that the observed rates are different in various wavebands. The observed rate of the second PA flip in the optical bands should be higher than that in the X-ray orγ-ray band since the flux in the optical band declines much slower than that in the X-ray orγ-ray band. Moreover, when the LOS is close to the jet edge (q → 1), it is the easiest case in which to observe the 90-degree PA flip due to the relatively high post-flip polarized flux level. The first and second PA flips in a GRB pulse are most likely to occur at the observed times oftobs ∼ [2 − 3]tpeakand ∼[3 − 4]tpeak, respectively, wheretpeakis the peak time of the pulse. It is also noted that the PA flip would not happen before the peak time.
Impact of main sequence mass loss on the appearance, structure, and evolution of Wolf-Rayet stars
Authors: Josiek J. , Ekström S. , Sander A. A. C. 
Published: May 2024

Context. Stellar winds are one of the most important drivers of massive star evolution and are a vital source of chemical, mechanical, and radiative feedback on the galactic scale. Despite its significance, mass loss remains a major uncertainty in stellar evolution models. In particular, the interdependencies between the different approaches and the subsequent evolutionary stages and predicted observable phenomena are far from being systematically understood.
Aims. In this study, we examine the impact of main sequence mass loss on the structure of massive stars throughout their entire evolution. Particular focus is placed on the consequences in terms of entrance into the Wolf-Rayet (WR) regime and the subsequent evolution.
Methods. Using the Geneva stellar evolution code (GENEC), we computed grids of single, nonrotating stellar models at solar and Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) metallicities of initial masses between 20 and 120 solar masses, with two representative prescriptions for high and low main sequence mass loss.
Results. We obtain detailed numerical predictions regarding the structure and evolution of massive stars, and infer the role of main sequence mass loss by comparison of the mass-loss rate prescriptions. We present implications for the overall evolutionary trajectory, including the evolution of WR stars, as well as the effect on stellar yields and stellar populations.
Conclusions. Mass loss during the main sequence plays an important role because of its ability to affect the sequence and duration of all subsequent phases. We identify several distinct evolutionary paths for massive stars, which are significantly influenced by the chosen main sequence mass-loss description. We also discuss the impact of uncertainties – other than that regarding mass loss – on the evolution, in particular those relating to convection. We further demonstrate that not only the total mass loss but also the specific mass-loss history throughout a star’s life is a crucial determinant of many aspects, such as the resulting stellar yields.
Constraints on PDS 70 b and c from the dust continuum emission of the circumplanetary discs considering in situ dust evolution
Authors: Shibaike Y. , Mordasini C. 
Published: May 2024

Context. The young T Tauri star PDS 70 has two gas accreting planets sharing one large gap in a pre-transitional disc. Dust continuum emission from PDS 70 c has been detected by Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 7, considered as the evidence of a circumplanetary disc. However, there has been no detection of the dust emission from the CPD of PDS 70 b.
Aims. We constrain the planet mass and the gas accretion rate of the planets by introducing a model of dust evolution in the CPDs and reproducing the detection and non-detection of the dust emission.
Methods. We first develop a 1D steady gas disc model of the CPDs reflecting the planet properties. We then calculate the radial distribution of the dust profiles considering the dust evolution in the gas disc and calculate the total flux density of dust thermal emission from the CPDs.
Results. We find positive correlations between the flux density of dust emission and three planet properties, the planet mass, gas accretion rate, and their product called ‘MMdot’. We then find that the MMdot of PDS 70 c is ≥4 × 10−7 MJ2 yr−1, corresponding to the planet mass of ≥5 MJ and the gas accretion rate of ≥2 × 10−8 MJ yr−1. This is the first case to succeed in obtaining constraints on planet properties from the flux density of dust continuum emission from a CPD. We also find some loose constraints on the properties of PDS 70 b from the non-detection of its dust emission.
Conclusions. We propose possible scenarios for PDS 70 b and c explaining the non-detection respectively detection of the dust emission from their CPDs. The first explanation is that planet c has larger planet mass, larger gas accretion rate, or both than planet b. The other possibility is that the CPD of planet c has a larger amount of dust supply, weaker turbulence, or both than that of planet b. If the dust supply to planet c is larger than b due to its closeness to the outer dust ring, it is also quantitatively consistent with that planet c has weaker Hα line emission than planet b considering the dust extinction effect.
