Published: April 2024

Abstract

Context
Interoceptive bodily awareness (IBA) is one's attentional focus on and relationship with comfortable and uncomfortable (e.g., pain) internal body sensations. Integrating IBA into research on osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is growing, both as an outcome and predictor of treatment outcomes; however, it has yet to be studied in a clinical setting.

Objectives
We aimed to conduct a pilot study to measure IBA, with the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA), in patients seeking OMT for pain, and to test if OMT exposure may be associated with higher IBA as measured by the MAIA. The primary outcome was the change in MAIA scores, and the secondary outcomes were reduction in pain intensity, reduction in pain interference, and increase in participants’ perception of change post-OMT.

Methods
A convenience sample was recruited from individuals presenting for OMT appointments at a College of Osteopathic Medicine OMT teaching clinic. Participants were recruited into our single-arm observational cohort study (n=36), and categorized into one of two groups, OMT-naïve (n=19) or OMT-experienced (n=17), based on prior exposure to OMT. We measured MAIA scores and clinical pain-related outcomes prior to, immediately after, and at 1 and 3 weeks after a usual-care OMT session in the clinic. Covariates including experience with mind–body activities, non-OMT body work, and physical and emotional trauma were also collected to explore potential relationships. We utilized t tests to compare MAIA scores and pain outcomes between groups and across time points. Stepwise regression models were utilized to explore potential relationships with covariates.

Results
The OMT-experienced group scored higher on the MAIA scales “Not-worrying” (p=0.002) and “Trusting” (p=0.028) at baseline. There were no significant changes in the MAIA scores before and after the single OMT session. Analysis of secondary outcomes revealed that all pain outcomes significantly decreased post-OMT (p<0.05), with the largest relative improvements in the acute pain and OMT-naïve subgroups, with diminishing effects over time.

Conclusions
Assessing IBA with MAIA in a clinical OMT setting is feasible. There were significant positive correlations between OMT exposure and two of the eight MAIA scales. Future studies are justified to further explore this relationship.
A Transcultural Interpretation of Key Concepts in China-US Relations: Hegemony, Democracy, Individualism and Collectivism
Authors: Li Yali 
Published: April 2024

AbstractChina-US bilateral relations suffer from periodical setbacks and transcultural communication has a positive role to play in improving those relations. As the largest two economies in the world today, both China and the United States draw inspiration from different traditions and cultures, rendering it difficult for the two countries to see eye to eye with each other when it comes to the key concepts of hegemony, democracy, individualism, and collectivism. Etymological roots, historical traditions, and national experiences help explain political realities and theoretical frameworks concerning these key concepts. For hegemony, force is emphasized for its role in US dominance or authority while China condemns hegemonism. For democracy, the means of the normative right to vote is highlighted in the US while the ends of people’s needs and welfare are underscored in China. For individualism and collectivism, it is no longer viable to stand aloof and mind just one’s own business, as the world is shrinking into a global village with intertwined destinies. A transcultural interpretation of key concepts in China-US relations can help enhance mutual understanding and facilitate dialogue through exchange and communication, hence contributing to the improvement of bilateral ties.
Grammar, cohesion and the co-ordination of the “self” in a current psychotherapeutic technique

Published: April 2024

Abstract
This paper aims to show how concepts and analytical methods of systemic functional linguistics can work congruently with other human practices to improve outcomes for those undergoing the suffering around loss of meaning and the absence of purposeful, self-directed experience. Based on a two-decade collaboration between linguists and psychotherapists in Sydney, Australia, and using the tools of text linguistics as developed by Michael A. K. Halliday and Ruqaiya Hasan in systemic functional theory, the paper presents an indicative selection of intense exchanges between traumatized persons and therapists (centrally the experience of ‘Ruth’). The level by level linguistic descriptions of these exchanges offer opportunities for understanding how progress in the clinical interaction might be achieved. The descriptions can also be evaluated against the theoretical claims of psychotherapy in psychiatry – in particular, the emphasis of the Conversational Model of Psychotherapy developed in England and Australia by Robert Hobson and Russell Meares, whose characterization of disorders involves an emphasis on ‘co-ordination’ and ‘cohesion’ within frontal lobe activity of traumatized patients. In this way the paper also explores conceptual parallels and intellectual antecedents shared between the Conversational Model and Systemic Functional Linguistics, contributing to the broader intellectual history of the human sciences.

It was concluded that knowledge concerning spiritual achievements gained by young people during their studies should make stimulant active treatment of young Ukrainian to study specific in nature, truly accurate historical spiritual heritage of his people, rooted in folklore (folk art) and saved in any manifestation at the local level.The article analyzes the role of national traditions in the spiritual development of future teachers. The specific focus is placed on the problems of primary school. According to scientists, it is in the early school years that the worldview of the individual is formed, in particular the national identity.The upbringing of a versatile and harmonic personality of a petty in the new age Ukrainian school is one of the most important tasks at the present stage of society; in which enrichment of the child's spiritual world involves the formation of creative potential and inner culture as well as spiritual unity of generations. The upbringing of young citizens should be aimedprimarily at developing their humanistic feelings, the formation of national and universal values. Therefore, the revival of folk song culture has great importance in the education of students of the new age Ukrainian school.The educational possibilities of Ukrainian folk songs were determined in the theoretical analysis. The necessity of directing the attention of the petty on the ideological and didactic nature of the folk song was described. That is important as the song folklore is a polysystemic means of personality formation, and it affects the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and other spheres of a human being; morally and psychologically adjusts a person to work. The proper use of ethno –pedagogical tools ensures the esthetic development of students along with a high culture of perception of various arts. In conclusion, the knowledge of spiritual achievements gained by petty during their studies should stimulate an affirm attitude of them as young Ukrainians to study and research historical, spiritual heritage of their people, the roots of which are folklore (folk art) that is preserved in different manifestations at the local levels.

Unravelling stakeholder narratives on nature-based solutions for hydro-meteorological risk reduction
Authors: Han Sungju , Luo Anran 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Despite growing scholarly consensus on the need for Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) as holistic and sustainable alternatives to traditional engineering solutions, stakeholder acceptance and implementation of NBS remain low. This study investigates stakeholder narratives on implementing nature-based solutions (NBS) for mitigating hydro-meteorological risks across five European river basin sites in Eastern and Central Europe. Utilising Q-methodology (N = 103) and narrative analysis, we identified three ideal-typical narratives: idealist, reformist, and sceptic - each providing distinct perspectives on evidence-based policy formation and NBS integration. Our results demonstrate that: 1) Idealists’ optimistic outlook risks overlooking critical engagement with implementation challenges; 2) neglecting sceptic concerns may impede NBS adoption and invite accusations of green-washing, and 3) reformists promote evidence-based approaches and transparent stakeholder engagement to bridge narrative divides. The study underscores the importance of identifying shared values, stakeholder collaboration, and a nuanced understanding of contextual factors in fostering NBS implementation.
The study contributes to a practical framework aligning NBS projects with prevailing narratives, offering guidance for navigating the complex landscape of NBS implementation. Future research should prioritize in-depth analysis of agent perspectives, place-specific influences on narratives, and the application of narrative analysis to other emerging technologies and environmental topics (e.g. circular economy), deepening our understanding of the socio-political dynamics shaping the acceptance and implementation of sustainable solutions.
New Benchmark Metal-Organic Framework for Ambient Hydrogen Storage: MOF-2087

Abstract
The poor tradeoff between gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen storage in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hinders their commercial use. Despite MOF-5, IRMOF-20, and PCN-610-the benchmarked MOFs- showing good tradeoffs at 77 K, maintaining them at elevated temperatures (298 K) remains challenging. To address this, we propose a bagged-random forest tree-embedded multi-objective particle swarm optimization framework that enhances this tradeoff by optimizing MOF features. Optimization yields 152 feasible feature combinations of MOFs, further matched with 733,792 existing structures. Our nearest neighbor search pinpointed 43 local best MOFs, and the multi-criteria decision-making method highlights the Zn-based MOF 2087 as the global best with enhanced tradeoff. Optimized features of MOF-2087 demonstrate well-balanced hydrogen storage capacities surpassing benchmarked MOFs, even at elevated temperatures (77 K to 298 K). Our study presents MOF-2087 as a new benchmark for enhanced hydrogen storage up to ambient temperature and also suggests an optimization-oriented accelerated screening procedure for selecting suitable MOFs for specified applications.
Microstructural studies of Stellite 6 hardfacing deposited on nickel-based superalloys subjected to long-time aging

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Stellite 6 hardfacing is deposited on Haynes 282 and Inconel 740H via plasma transferred arc (PTA) welding. The fabricated hardfacing specimens are subjected to different post-welding heat treatments, then aged at 760 °C, 815 °C and 871 °C for a time length ranging from 1000 to 30000 h. The microstructures of the hardfacings before and after long-time aging are investigated with SEM/EDS/XRD. It is shown that the PTA welding process causes the hardfacing microstructure deviating from Stellite 6 alloy due to dilution. With participation of other elements from the substrate material, the compositions of both solid solution and carbide/intermetallic of the Stellite 6 hardfacing are modified. In the meanwhile, Ti-rich or Ti/Nb-rich new phases are generated. Long-time aging has an impact on the microstructures of the hardfacings, but at 760 ℃, in particular, for an exposure time less than 20000 h, the microstructures of the hardfacings do not show obvious change. However, when the hardfacing specimens are aged at 815 ℃ and 871 ℃ even for an exposure time of 1000 h only, Al-rich precipitates can occur and the amount of the precipitates increase with aging time. These brittle precipitates generally have a detrimental effect on the performance of the hardfacings, because they can deteriorate the ductility of the hardfacings. With the presence of Al-rich precipitates the hardness of the hardfacings decreases.

Published: April 2024

Abstract

The wasted disposable polypropylene medical mask is one of the common waste polypropylene materials. The waste mask is characterized by being non-biodegradable and carelessly discarded, which causes serious environmental issues and resource waste. This study aims to investigate the recycling of waste disposable polypropylene medical masks to address the environmental problem and transform them into graphite carbon powders via the carbonization coupling with the high-energy ball milling method. The recycled waste mask was applied as a carbon dispersant to prepare high-quality 8YSZ nano-powders and the obtained carbon dispersant owned smaller particle size and higher specific surface area than the commercial activated carbon powders. The as-obtained 8YSZ nano-powders were well-dispersed and nano-sized, which resulted in high relative density and ionic conductivity for the sintered 8YSZ ceramic body. These findings suggest that the proposed strategy in this study can recycle the waste disposable polypropylene medical mask to prepare graphite carbon powders as a carbon dispersant for obtaining high-quality 8YSZ nano-powders and also provide an idea for the comprehensive utilization of other waste polymer materials.
How Homogenous is a Supercolony? High-Resolution Sequencing Revels Population Genetic Structure in the Introduced Range of Tawny Crazy Ant (Nylanderia fulva (Mayr): Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Authors: Holt Jocelyn R. , Montoya-Lerma James , Calcaterra Luis A. , Raszick Tyler J. , Medina Raul F. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Background
The tawny crazy ant (Nylanderia fulva (Mayr)) is native to South America and was first reported in the continental United States (US) in 1938. It was not until the 1990s in Florida and 2000s in Texas that this ant was considered a serious pest in the US. Tawny crazy ant (TCA) is currently considered an invasive pest in six US states. A limited number of low-density molecular markers have previously shown little genetic differentiation among Nylanderia fulva across their geographic distribution in the US.
Results
Using high-throughput sequencing we obtained high-density molecular markers, a total of 4,557 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that provided increased resolution for detecting population genetic differences. There was genetic variation among tawny crazy ants in the US and Argentina. Additionally, there was substructure among some geographic locations in the US (i.e., Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida). Samples from Colombia and Perú were genetically very distant from N. fulva in Argentina and US, and thus they are likely potential cryptic species or belong to another cryptic species complex.
Conclusion
There is genetic differentiation observed between and within tawny crazy ants in Argentina and the US as well as among tawny crazy ants in the US. Locations associated with port cities in the US are most closely related to ants from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The higher levels of differentiation among other locations and Buenos Aires may be the result of the introduction of an unidentified genotype, admixture, a sample size artifact, or a combination of these factors. Although these tawny crazy ants may act as a supercolony across wide geographic scales, our results support that N. fulva is structured into genetically differentiated populations.
