Are urologists underrepresented on fertility clinic websites? A web-based analysis
Authors: Bachir Bassel G. , Yacoubian Aline , Nasrallah Oussama Ghassan , El Taha Lina , Choucair Fadi 
Published: June 2024

Introduction:
Infertile couples frequently utilize the Internet to find various reproductive clinics and research their alternatives. Patients are increasingly using self-referral because of online information on health-care providers. The objective is to compare the image of infertility specialists to other team members on the websites of reproductive clinics.

Methods:
Information was gathered during November and December 2022 from two publicly accessible online registries which include the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority located in the United Kingdom and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology located in the United States. We looked over every website that was accessible, paying close attention to how each team member was portrayed online.

Results:
We examined a total of 447 clinic websites. Only 8% of the profiles of male infertility doctors were included. Contrarily, most websites (96%), which specialize in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, feature the profiles of female infertility experts. Male infertility professionals also had significantly lower representation than other clinic employees, such as nurses (55.7%, P < 0.0001), directors of embryology laboratories (46.5%, P < 0.0001), office personnel (39.6%, P < 0.0001), and embryology specialists (29.7%, P < 0.0001).

Conclusion:
Although male factor infertility explains the existence of over half of all cases of infertility, urologists who specialize in male infertility are glaringly understated on websites for fertility clinics. By improving this issue, fertility clinics can draw in more patients by making all members of the care team more visible.
Automated deep‐learning model optimization framework for microcontrollers
Authors: Hong Seungtae , Park Gunju , Kim Jeong‐Si 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis paper introduces a framework for optimizing deep‐learning models on microcontrollers (MCUs) that is crucial in today's expanding embedded device market. We focus on model optimization techniques, particularly pruning and quantization, to enhance the performance of neural networks within the limited resources of MCUs. Our approach combines automatic iterative optimization and code generation, simplifying MCU model deployment without requiring extensive hardware knowledge. Based on experiments with architectures, such as ResNet‐8 and MobileNet v2, our framework substantially reduces the model size and enhances inference speed that are crucial for MCU efficiency. Compared with TensorFlow Lite for MCUs, our optimizations for MobileNet v2 reduce static random‐access memory use by 51%–57% and flash use by 17%–62%, while increasing inference speed by approximately 1.55 times. These advancements highlight the impact of our method on performance and memory efficiency, demonstrating its value in embedded artificial intelligence and broad applicability in MCU‐based neural network optimization.

Abstract
Importance: Assessment of praxis skills is an essential aspect of understanding autistic children’s development of play and playfulness.
Objective: To assess the relationship and influence of ideational praxis skills on play skills and playfulness among autistic children.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Settings: Homes, schools, and early care centers across Spain.
Participants: Children ages 4 yr 6 mo to 6 yr 11 mo (45 typically developing [TP] and 45 with autism spectrum disorder [ASD]).
Outcomes and Measures: Student’s t tests were used to compare means between the two groups. Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression were used to determine possible effects of ideational skills on play and playfulness.
Results: Scores for the TP group were significantly higher than those of the ASD group on all play dimensions—space management, t(88) = 4.58; material management, t(88) = 5.86; pretense–symbolism, t(88) = 8.12; and participation, t(88) = 7.31—and on the Test of Playfulness (ToP), t(88) = 10.18, and Test of Ideational Praxis (TIP), t(88) = 4.38 (all ps &lt; .001). Multiple linear regression revealed a statistically significant effect of TIP dimensions—space management, F(3, 41) = 4.83, p &lt; .042; material management, F(3.41) = 8.49. p &lt; .001; pretense–symbolism, F(3, 41) = 5.66. p &lt; .002; and participation, F(3.41) = 7.81. p &lt; .001—and on the ToP, F(3, 41) = 5.96. p &lt; .002.
Conclusions and Relevance: Ideational praxis skills combined with diagnostic information significantly predicted play skills and playfulness, highlighting the influence of ideation on play.
Plain-Language Summary: This article provides data supporting the influence of ideational praxis skills on the play skills and playfulness of autistic children. Understanding how ideational praxis skills affect the ability to recognize and act on object affordances might promote greater possibilities for play interactions among autistic children.

After Cicero Finished Speaking, Caesar Trembled! The Affect of Deprecatio in the Pro Ligario
Authors: Enos Richard Leo 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BCE) is widely recognized as Rome’s preeminent orator, a reputation that was well-earned because of his cogent and convincing skill in argumentation. His talent is particularly evident in his legal rhetoric, and his extant forensic orations are often cited as illustrations of brilliant displays of casuistry. The Pro Ligario is, however, an exception, not because the case is poorly argued, but because the unique constraints and procedures of that case prompted Cicero to depart from his normal practice of well-reasoned argument and advance a special plea for mercy and clemency or deprecatio. It is the only surviving oration in this legal genre of Roman rhetoric. An analysis of the Pro Ligario reveals that Cicero avoids arguing the stasis or issue of the case altogether, choosing rather to advance emotional appeals targeting the ethos of Caesar, who judged the case, in order to secure a favorable verdict in this rare genre of special pleading. Cicero’s unique mode of persuasion reveals a new perspective on Roman rhetoric.
The Dance of Agencies in AI Art–Beyond the Creator-Tool Dichotomy, a Netnographic Analysis of Reddit Forums
Authors: Bar-Gil Oshri 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article analyzes the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems on contemporary AI-based art generation practices. As algorithms display nascent creativity, they catalyze philosophical questions regarding the role of technology in artistic creation. However, the influence of AI on art creation, perception, and consumption remains unexplored by empirical research. This article integrates the theoretical frameworks of post-phenomenology and actor-network theory to investigate how generative AI technologies mediate creators’ perception, agency, and imagination. It explores how human–algorithm assemblages may expand possibilities while also obscuring the anthropocentric constructs underpinning art. It uses netnography of artistic communities in the Reddit website to explore the tensions arising as human rationalities and intentions collide with algorithmic logics and constraints. The findings reveal generative AI’s potential to delegate intentionality as well as its potential influence on agency, rationality, and memory. Using empirical grounding, this study elucidates the complex entanglements among artists, algorithms, artwork, and the public in the emerging generative AI terrain.
Biomothers and Technobodies: Jeanette Winterson’s Frankissstein: A Love Story as the Technocritical Hybridization of Trans- and Posthumanism
Authors: Raso Andrea 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In Frankissstein: A Love Story, the British writer Jeanette Winterson reclaims the epistemological value of the literary interpretation of existential questions around the posthuman. By retelling Mary Shelley’s gothic classic, Winterson assesses, both ethically and aesthetically, the consequences of artificial intelligence for traditional conceptions of gender, life (re)production, and the commodification of bodily desires, as well as their fusion at the intersection of technology and art. With the methodological support of recent studies on trans-/posthumanism and material/trans-corporeal feminism(s), this article will attempt to show how, by revindicating monstrosity as the legitimization of new forms of life and love, Winterson hybridizes trans- and posthumanist polarities and relativizes the rigidity of the debate around the de- and rematerialization of nature in the face of practices such as mind uploading, the mass production of sex robots, and enhancing biotechnologies, through a technocritical examination of the risks and possibilities of the com-posting of human and nonhuman matter.
Philosophical Posthumanism: A Renewed Worldview and a Methodological Framework for Critical Analysis
Authors: K. D Wilson , Jeevaraj A. Edwin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Exponential technological advances capture the zeitgeist of contemporary society. Machines are increasingly gaining agency, which helps in the deconstruction of the humanist notion of humans. Society takes a posthuman turn with large-scale human–machine imbrication and nonhuman agency. The posthuman turn is also reflected in the academic world, which is seriously contemplating the integration of posthumanities. The philosophical posthumanism of Francisca Ferrando is a posthuman theory with three constituent elements: post-humanism, post-anthropocentrism, and post-dualism. Post-humanism revisits the definition of human that has given rise to marginalization within the human species. Post-anthropocentrism critiques the human superiority and exceptionalism that have led to the marginalization of other species. Post-dualism revisits the dualistic mindset that allows hierarchical sociopolitical constructions. Ferrando presents a vision of a posthuman utopian society that recognizes pluralistic voices within the human species on egalitarian terms, accepts and values the agency of nonhuman actors, and sheds the dualistic view of life that keeps humans and nonhumans on either side of the binary system. Philosophical posthumanism can be suitable as a methodological framework to analyze the posthuman discourses in literary works, specifically in science fiction.
After the Night, Before the Gate: Kafkaesque Imaginations and Dystopian Speculations in the Mediterranean
Authors: Akkoyun Burcu Kayışcı 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
This article attempts a critical conversation between Kafka’s Der Prozess (posthumously published in 1925, translated into English as The Trial in 1937) and two novels from the Mediterranean Basin. The Turkish author Bilge Karasu’s Gece (1985, translated into English as Night by Güneli Gün in 1994) responds to the national conflicts intensified by the military coup in Türkiye (Turkey) in the 1980s with its dark portrayal of political conspiracies and unhinged violence. Almost thirty years later, Aziz conveys a similar sense of social chaos and political disillusionment: her novel Al-Ṭābūr (2013, translated into English as The Queue by Elisabeth Jaquette in 2016) addresses the aftermath of the 2011 Egypt uprising. In addition to the social critique that shapes the dystopian allegories of the novels, Kayışcı Akkoyun examines the discursive conflicts and gaps through which Kafka, Karasu, and Aziz expose the constructed nature of oppressive structures and the arbitrariness of authority. She argues that the disjointed dystopian narratives of Kafka, Karasu, and Aziz not only portray the horrors witnessed at a particular place and time but also share a common utopian vision that extends to the future through the authors’ imaginative struggle against totalizing forces of uneven modernization.

Published: June 2024

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a technique that captures the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex, effectively reflecting various rapid cognitive processes. Traditional EEG devices, often large and bulky, are impractical for real-world applications. To address this, wearable and wireless EEG systems have been developed as cutting-edge technology. However, there remains uncertainty about their signal quality .In this study, we introduce a systematic comparison method customized for portable wireless EEG devices. This experiment includes three tasks: α-suppression, Biofeedback, and the Stroop Colour and Word Test, evaluating signal quality in both time and frequency domains. In the α-suppression task, we analyzed spectral power in the α band, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Root Mean Square(RMS),and artifact rejection. For the biofeedback task, we evaluated Engagement (β/(α+θ)) and Relaxation (α/β) indices. We also measured the N400 amplitude during the Stroop Colour and Word Test. These indicators represent varying levels of signal quality requirements, from low to high. Additionally, to assess whether semi-dry EEG devices can match the performance of medical-grade gel electrodes, further significant difference and correlation analysis between the two types of devices were conducted. The frequency domain analysis revealed alpha suppression during eyes-open states and increased relaxation and engagement states during the biofeedback task compared to resting state. In the time domain analysis, although no statistical significance was observed in the N400 component, a clear trend of a larger N400 under inconsistent conditions was evident in waveform and topographic maps. Furthermore, difference tests and correlation analysis between the two devices demonstrated a strong positive correlation in signals and consistent performance across all tasks. These findings suggest that portable EEG devices provide reliable signal accuracy in real-world settings, the signal quality of the semi-dry electrodes used in this study is comparable to that of medical-grade gel electrodes.
