Enhanced power demand forecasting for Bangladesh: using feature engineering associated with environmental and economic impact
Authors: Islam Muhammad Tanveer , Turja Sartaj Aziz , Habib Ahsan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Forecasting power demand is crucial for developing countries like Bangladesh for various reasons including resource planning due to limited resources. Limited research was found on short-term power demand forecasting of Bangladesh. In this study, a preprocessing pipeline is proposed to generate powerful features including hourly demand, weather and economic data to generate both short- and medium-term load forecasting. Our method achieved the lowest 2.3% MAPE on PGCB dataset in forecasting energy loads for January and February 2024. The efficacy of the generated features, produced from pre-processing pipeline, was validated by utilising 2 machine-learning models including FB-Prophet and LSTM.
A Question of Commitment: Investigating How Citizens Perceive Parties' Programmatic Responses to Competition
Authors: Habersack Fabian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Political parties vary in their responses to electoral challenges, including the rise of populist competitors. To address these challenges, they sometimes engage with peripheral issues located outside their ideological comfort zones, and at other times they adhere more closely to their core policies. Although these patterns are well-documented, voters' perceptions thereof remain under-examined. This article argues that voters evaluate parties' claims not just based on the direction of their policy engagement – positive or negative – but also based on the commitment behind these actions, distinguishing ideological commitment from strategic manoeuvres. Employing a pre-registered vignette experiment, the article shows that voters differentiate responses to core versus peripheral issues, regardless of their personal agreement with the policies. Populist attitudes further moderate these perceptions, as voters with such views are typically more sceptical of parties' motives, limiting the impact of party behaviour on perceived commitment primarily to non-populist individuals. This highlights the importance of perceived commitment in elections and the constraints parties face in responding to competition.

Substantive Representation of Women: Empirical Evidence
Authors: Kläy Yves , Eichenberger Reiner , Portmann Marco , Stadelmann David 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We identify women’s revealed preferences for legislative proposals to investigate substantive representation of women. We then examine whether female or male politicians in parliament are more responsive to revealed female preferences using data on 47,527 decisions made by all 777 Swiss parliamentarians between 1996 and 2022. Holding party and constituent preferences constant, our results show differences in the substantive representation of women between female and male politicians for legislative proposals related to social policies. For all policies unrelated to social issues, we find that female politicians are no more responsive to female preferences than male politicians. Heterogeneity analyses show that differences in the substantive representation of women by male and female politicians on social policy issues do not depend on the socialization of the politicians, or the underlying political incentives and constraints.
Who’s to Blame? Post-conflict Violence, Political Messaging, and Attitudes Towards Peace Agreements
Authors: Wyer Frank 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
How do episodes of post-conflict violence affect public support for peace? I argue that political messaging about who or what is to blame can influence how violence affects attitudes towards peace agreements. I test this argument in Colombia, a country which has experienced violence after a 2016 peace agreement, and where rival political camps debate whether government failures or noncompliance by rebels is to blame. In an experiment with 1466 respondents in conflict and non-conflict zones, I paired news about post-conflict violence with information supporting these competing messages. I find that emphasizing rebel culpability reduced support for peace agreements, but emphasizing poor government implementation did not have a strong countervailing effect. A probe of the mechanisms suggests that while emphasizing rebel culpability increased perceptions that rebels alone were to blame, emphasizing government implementation failures led respondents to conclude that both parties were to blame, limiting the effectiveness of this message.
Optimizing intensive grazing: A comprehensive review of rotational grassland management, innovative grazing strategies, and infrastructural requirements
Authors: Maher Paul J. , Egan Michael , Murphy Michael D. , Tuohy Patrick 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Grazing is a crucial component of dairy farms across many regions of the world. This review explores challenges related to grazing infrastructure and opportunities for future improvement. Farmers who aim to increase pasture utilisation face heightened inter-animal competition necessitated by pasture restriction to achieve target post-grazing sward heights. Increasing the frequency of fresh pasture allocation beyond once per day has been observed to reduce milk production in primiparous animals, due to intensified competition for limited feed resources. Implementing grazing paddocks tailored for 24 to 36 hour allocations helps to mitigate inter-animal competition while concurrently preventing the grazing of fresh regrowth. Crucial to this approach is establishing farm roadway infrastructure, that allows access to all sections of the grazing platform. However, the development of these roadway networks has often occurred without a comprehensive assessment of their impact on the efficiency of the dairy herd’s movement between grazing paddocks and the milking parlour. The efficiency of the dairy herd’s movement is most significantly influenced by the location of the milking parlour within the grazing platform. Extreme walking distances or challenging terrain on farm roadways may have an impact on milk production per cow. Factors such as farm roadway surface quality and width significantly influence cow throughput on farm roadways. Recent studies have highlighted inadequate roadway widths on many farms relative to their herd size, while surface condition may also be limiting cow throughput on these farms. Enhancing roadway width and surface condition of farm roadways may improve labour efficiency on commercial farms.

Abstract
The objective of the trial was to evaluate the effects of arginine supplementation in the feed of gestating sows on the variability of piglet birth weight. The weight of the piglets was evaluated using descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and analysis of variance with a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement. This arrangement included no supplementation or supplementation with 1.0% L-arginine, combined in three periods. Period 1: from days 25 to 53 of gestation, providing 23 g/day from days 25 to 28 and 18 g/day from days 29 to 53 of gestation; period 2: from days 30 to 60 of gestation and from day 80 of gestation to farrowing, providing 18 g/day in the first period and 45 g/day in the second period; and period 3, from day 85 of gestation to delivery, with 24 g/day was provided from day 85 until farrowing, and 28 g/day from days 85 to 107, increasing to 56 g/day from day 108 until farrowing. Supplementation with 1.0% of L-arginine reduced the percentage of total piglets born and piglets born alive with less than 800 g by 2.26 and 2.05 percentage points, respectively; and increased the percentage of total piglets born and piglets born alive between 1601 and 1800g by 5.89 and 6.08 percentage points, respectively. Supplementing with 1.0% of L-arginine, improves litter uniformity, with an average reduction of 4.06 percentage points in the piglet population of less than 1180 g and an increase in the piglet population of 1180 to 1890 g by 4.70 percentage points.
Corpus linguistics for language teaching and learning: A research agenda
Authors: Curry Niall , McEnery Tony 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This agenda identifies future research trajectories for the corpus revolution, proposing five specific research tasks designed to explore and advance the application of corpus linguistics in language education. These tasks focus on: (1) contrastive data-driven learning, (2) the development of corpus research for informing national language curricula, (3) the use of artificial intelligence for corpus informed language teaching and learning, (4) the reconsideration of the design and development of pedagogical corpora, and (5) the need for stakeholder engagement with corpus research design. Addressing these tasks requires a unified and collaborative effort as they sit at a number of key intersections in corpus applications to language pedagogy. We ask scholars executing them to engage in broad and cooperative research to meet the evolving needs of learners globally, to examine the potential of corpus linguistics for addressing new challenges in language education, and to influence and shape future directions in applied linguistics.
The Collapse of the Civil Rights Coalition: Congress and the Politics of Antibusing Legislation, 1966–86
Authors: Jenkins Jeffery A. , Peck Justin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The legislative coalition responsible for passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act did not set out to use busing as a means to end school segregation. When it came time to implement relevant portions of the law, however, busing became the primary method for reversing “separate but equal” education. In this paper, we provide a legislative policy history detailing the unanticipated, but nearly two-decade long, congressional battle over busing. Through a detailed examination of congressional hearings, floor debate, and roll-call votes, we shed light on the collapse of the pro-civil rights coalition responsible for the landmark achievements of the early 1960s. In its place emerged a new, bipartisan, and interregional bloc of lawmakers—led by southern Democrats and Republicans but joined by a pivotal group of (ostensibly liberal) northern Democrats—who were opposed to efforts by the Supreme Court and administrative state to end school segregation in the North as well as the South.

Abstract

Introduction:
Fear of cardiac arrest among parents of infants with heart disease can cause stress and anxiety. Literature is scarce on the effects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training (CPRt) on anxiety and stress of parents. We analysed the impact of CPRt on anxiety, stress, and comfort levels on parents of infants with heart disease.

Methods:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and choking relief manoeuvre (CRM) comfort level, Parental State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Parenting Stress Index (PSI) scores were prospectively collected pre-, immediately post-, and 3 months post-CPRt.

Results:
There were 97 participants: 80% (n = 78) mothers/grandmothers and 20% (n = 19) fathers. The mean (SD) age of participants was 28.7 (5.6) years old. There was a significant decrease in STAI across the three time points collected; STAI decreased by 12% from baseline to immediately post-CPRt and 19% from baseline to 3 months post-CPRt (p < .0001). There were no significant changes in PSI across the time points. Baseline to immediately post-teaching, we found that CPRt significantly increased comfort performing CPR, CRM, and comfort in knowing what to do (p=< .001, p=< .001, p=< .001, respectively). Comfort levels persisted elevated when comparing pre- to 3 months post-CPRt (p=< .001, p= .002, p= .001, respectively), maintaining at least a 177% average increase up to 3 months post-CPRt for all aspects.

Conclusion:
CPRt can aid in improving anxiety and comfort levels of parents of infants with heart disease around hospital discharge. Parental preparedness and reassurance to know what to do in emergency situations can be enhanced by a simple intervention such as CPRt.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
Sudden cardiac death is a significant concern among patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). We assessed the risk of remote sudden cardiac death after congenital heart surgery.

Methods:
Patients undergoing congenital heart surgery before 21 years of age between 1982 and 2003 in the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium registry were linked to National Death Index data through 2019. Sudden cardiac death was defined as death associated with a cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation diagnosis code. Standardised mortality ratios relative to the general population were calculated using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.

Results:
Among 30,566 patients discharged after their initial surgery, 2,718 deaths occurred over a median period of 23 years (IQR 19–27). Of 463 (17%) sudden cardiac deaths, the median age was 1.7 years (IQR 0.5–16.5). The mean incidence was 7 per 10,000 person-years (95% CI: 0.64–0.77), ranging from 2.7 for left-to-right shunt lesions to 37 for single-ventricle physiology. Cardiac comorbidities including heart failure (13.6%) and arrhythmias (7.1%) were more frequent among sudden cardiac death patients. Standard mortality ratios for sudden cardiac death were elevated across all CHD types, ranging from 8.0 (95% CI: 6.3–9.6) for left-to-right shunts to 107.7 (95% CI: 88.9–126.5) for single-ventricle physiology.

Conclusion:
Sudden cardiac death risk is higher post-congenital heart surgery compared to the general population. Even patients with mild CHD are at risk, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up for all patients. Heart failure and arrhythmia prevalence suggest potential therapeutic targets to reduce sudden cardiac death risk.
Comparison of different approaches applied for surgical correction of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Authors: Fan Fan , Bai Song , Li Xiaofeng , Li Zhiqiang , Tong Feng , Guo Jian , Ding Nan , Guo Zhangke 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
Right anterolateral thoracotomy or left anterolateral thoracotomy applied to partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection correction have been reported to obtain cosmetic and less invasive outcomes as alternative approaches to median sternotomy. However, the application of different approaches is still confusing. We compared the perioperative and mid-term outcomes to seek indications of different approaches and guide surgical treatment of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

Methods:
From July 2019 to August 2023, 44 patients who underwent surgical correction of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection were recruited. Of these, 13 (29.6%) patients who underwent median sternotomy were separated into M group, 28 (63.6%) patients who underwent right anterolateral thoracotomy were separated into R group, and three (6.8%) patients who underwent left anterolateral thoracotomy were separated into L group. Clinical data were reviewed and compared between each group.

Results:
In M group, direct anastomosis accounted for the most (7, 53.8%), in R group, intra-atrial rerouting accounted for the most (22, 78.6%), and in L group, direct anastomosis accounted for the most (3, 100%). R group had shorter cardiopulmonary bypass time (70.0 ± 32.4 vs113.1 ± 83.3, p = 0.029), shorter ICU stay (1.0 ± 0.2 vs 1.9 ± 1.7, p = 0.01), shorter postoperative stay (6.0 ± 1.2 vs 8.3 ± 5.0, p = 0.021), and fewer chest tube drainage (8.4 ± 4.3 vs 13.9 ± 10.2, p = 0.026) compared with M group. Three left-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in L group adopted off-pump approach.

Conclusions:
Median sternotomy S.V.C. can be applicable to all anatomic types of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection especially for complex types. Considering the minimally invasive advantages, we prefer applying right anterolateral thoracotomy for pulmonary vein connected to right atrium or proximal end of off-pump. Applying left anterolateral thoracotomy for left-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection without atrial septal defect by off-pump.
An innovative nurse practitioner-led service for children from families living in housing instability
Authors: Bell Alicia , Parry Yvonne K. , Ankers Matthew , Sivertsen Nina , Willis Eileen , Kendall Sally , Yin Huahua 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:
To report on the design and results of an innovative nurse practitioner (NP)-led specialist primary care service for children facing housing instability.

Background:
During 2017–2018, children aged 0–14 years represented 23% of the total population receiving support from specialist homeless services in Australia. The impact of housing instability on Australian children is considerable, resulting in disengagement from social institutions including health and education, and poorer physical and mental health outcomes across the lifespan. Current services fail to adequately address health and educational needs of children facing housing insecurity. Research identifies similar circumstances for children in other high-income countries. This paper outlines the design, and reports on results of, an innovative NP-led primary care service for children facing housing instability introduced into three not-for-profit faith-based services in one Australian state.

Methods:
Between 2019 and 2021, 66 children of parents experiencing housing instability received standardized health assessment and referral where appropriate by a NP. Data from the standardized tool, such as condition and severity, were recorded to determine common conditions. In addition, comprehensive case notes recorded by the NP were used to understand potential causes of conditions, and referral needs, including potential barriers.

Findings:
The 66 children assessed were aged between 7 weeks to 16 years. Developmental delay, low immunization rates, and dental caries were the most common conditions identified. Access to appropriate services was inhibited by cost, disengagement, and COVID-19.

Conclusion:
Given their advanced skills and knowledge, embedding NPs in specialist homeless services is advantageous to help vulnerable children.
Considering family trees as a useful tool in family medicine: a systematic review
Authors: Tušek-Bunc Ksenija , Maksuti Alem , Rotar-Pavlič Danica 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:
The aim of this study was to perform a systematic literature review of the purpose, design, and use of family trees by family physicians (FPs).

Background:
Family trees offer a valuable contribution to understanding the relevance of the patient’s family history in comprehensive primary healthcare provision. There is little research on the role of family trees in the everyday practice of FPs. Studies often focus on specific diseases and their context: however, a comprehensive exploration of the usefulness of family trees is crucial for FPs.

Methods:
A systematic literature review was conducted through a keyword search in the PubMed and Cochrane databases. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria selected, 24 studies were identified and a qualitative analysis was performed.

Findings:
A total of 369 publications were identified across 32 fields. Twenty-four studies were included in the final analysis according to the QUOROM statement. The results underscore the role of family trees and highlight the value of this tool’s multidimensionality. The use of this tool directs FPs to consider a genetic cause and a possible referral to a geneticist. The value of a family tree lies in the personalized patient-oriented treatment in connection with hereditary risks for chronic diseases. For FPs, the greatest challenge in treating patients is determining their risk of developing a chronic disease or cancer. Using a family tree can improve the quality of their healthcare.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Optical sorting combines optical tweezers with diverse techniques, including optical spectrum, artificial intelligence (AI) and immunoassay, to endow unprecedented capabilities in particle sorting. In comparison to other methods such as microfluidics, acoustics and electrophoresis, optical sorting offers appreciable advantages in nanoscale precision, high resolution, non-invasiveness, and is becoming increasingly indispensable in fields of biophysics, chemistry, and materials science. This review aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the history, development, and perspectives of various optical sorting techniques, categorised as passive and active sorting methods. To begin, we elucidate the fundamental physics and attributes of both conventional and exotic optical forces. We then explore sorting capabilities of active optical sorting, which fuses optical tweezers with a diversity of techniques, including Raman spectroscopy and machine learning. Afterwards, we reveal the essential roles played by deterministic light fields, configured with lens systems or metasurfaces, in the passive sorting of particles based on their varying sizes and shapes, sorting resolutions and speeds. We conclude with our vision of the most promising and futuristic directions, including AI-facilitated ultrafast and bio-morphology-selective sorting. It can be envisioned that optical sorting will inevitably become a revolutionary tool in scientific research and practical biomedical applications.
