Abstract
The development of facial musculature and expressions in the human fetus represents a critical intersection of developmental biology, neurology, and evolutionary anthropology, offering insights into early neurological and social development. Fetal facial expressions, shaped by Cranial Nerve VII, reflect evolutionary adaptations for nonverbal communication and exhibit minimal asymmetry in universal expressions. Advancements in 4D ultrasound imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) have introduced innovative methods for analyzing these movements, revealing their potential as diagnostic tools for neurodevelopmental disorders like Bell’s Palsy and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome before birth. These technologies promise early interventions that could significantly improve neonatal outcomes. By integrating imaging, AI, and longitudinal studies, researchers propose a multidisciplinary approach to establish diagnostic criteria for fetal facial movements. However, translating these advancements into clinical practice requires addressing ethical and practical challenges, refining imaging and AI methodologies, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. The review highlights the universality of fetal expressions while emphasizing the importance of distinguishing typical variability from pathological markers. In conclusion, these findings suggest transformative potential for maternal-fetal medicine, paving the way for proactive strategies to manage neurodevelopmental risks. Focused research is essential to fully harness these innovations and establish a new frontier in perinatal science.
Targeting and double accountabilities of action in interaction
Authors: Nishizaka Aug , Hayano Kaoru 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study documents the mechanism by which a speaker accomplishes targeting the current turn at an unselected recipient; it does so by reference to what we will call participants’ differential relationships to a referent. Several video recordings of Japanese ordinary conversations are examined with the methodology of conversation analysis. The findings show that the differential relationships are resources for generating double accountabilities of action; the targeted turn implements one action for the selected recipient and another for the target recipient. The use of differential relationships also provides publicly witnessable grounds for the distribution of turn-allocation techniques. We argue that targeting is a rich domain in which turn allocation and the accountability of action intersect.

Published: February 2025

In models of visual spatial attention control, it is commonly held that top-down control signals originate in the dorsal attention network, propagating to the visual cortex to modulate baseline neural activity and bias sensory processing. However, the precise distribution of these top-down influences across different levels of the visual hierarchy is debated. In addition, it is unclear whether these changes in baseline neural activity directly translate into improved performance. We analyzed attention-related baseline activity during the anticipatory period of a trial-by-trial voluntary spatial attention task, using two independent fMRI datasets, and two different analytic approaches. First, as in prior studies, univariate analysis showed that covert attention significantly enhanced baseline neural activity in higher-order visual areas contralateral to the attended visual hemifield, while effects in lower-order visual areas (e.g., V1) were weaker and more variable. Second, in contrast, multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) revealed significant decoding of attention conditions across all visual cortical areas, with lower-order visual areas exhibiting higher decoding accuracies than higher-order areas. Third, decoding accuracy, rather than the magnitude of univariate activation, was a better predictor of a subject's stimulus discrimination performance. Finally, the MVPA results were replicated across two experimental conditions, where the direction of spatial attention was either externally instructed by a cue or based on the participants free choice decision about where to attend. Together, these findings offer new insights into the extent of attentional biases in the visual hierarchy under top-down control, and how these biases influence both sensory processing and behavioral performance.Significance StatementAttention can be deployed in advance of stimulus processing. Understanding how top-down control of attention facilitates the processing of the attended stimuli and enhances task performance has remained a longstanding question in attention research. Here, applying multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) to fMRI data, we showed that throughout the entire visual hierarchy including the primary visual cortex, there exist distinct neural representations for different attended information in anticipatory visual spatial attention, and the distinctiveness of these neural representations is positively associated with behavioral performance. Importantly, the MVPA findings were consistent across two experimental conditions where the direction of spatial attention was driven either by external instructions or from purely internal decisions.

Published: February 2025

Background: The study in Asian and American-based surveillance data between Oct 18, 2011, and Aug 4, 2016 required 7428 patients with an estimated 2694 (36%) diagnosed laboratory-confirmed dengue, 2495 (34%) non-dengue and 2237 (30%) not inclusion criteria. The clinical signs and suspected dengue symptom address a few other diseases, thus laboratory confirmatory is best solution for diagnosis of dengue. Purpose: To determine the difference between clinical epidemiological and laboratory diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever in Kebumen District. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional with 395 samples of suspected dengue disease during the 2023 period, such as DHF and DD in Kebumen District area health services. The DHF diagnostic was confirmed with positive laboratory test and studied to see differences of the clinical epidemiology and laboratory data. The data collection was carried out by reviewing medical documents from health centers and hospitals. Data were analyzed with chi square test and independent t test. Results: Clinical indicators proportion was higher for fever, 95.40% and much lower for bleeding 13.20%. The dominant contribution significant for clinical epidemiology indicator of DHF is muscle pain compared to bleeding and rash. The laboratory indicator for platelet is low, hemoglobin normal and hematocrit normal. The variable contributing significantly for DHF is platelet (β = 0.19) and comparison of hemoglobin (β = -0.09) and hematocrit (β = -0.06). Conclusion: Clinical indicators of DHF are higher for fever (95.40%), with muscle pain being the dominant factor. Laboratory indicators include low platelet count and normal hemoglobin and hematocrit.
Literary and Ideological Reflection of Siberian Literature in Nikolai Chuzhak’s (Nikolai F. Nasimovich’s) Literary Criticism in the Aspect of Marxist Aesthetics
Authors: Makarova E. A. 
Published: February 2025

Nikolai Chuzhak’s (N. F. Nasimovich, 1876–1937) – a famous Marxist publicist – literary criticism is, at the first glance, already studied enough by theorists in bibliology and literature. However, the fragmentary nature of researches and lack of the profound scientific comprehension of his critical heritage specifics dictates the necessity to bring into the system the data about his publications in Siberian periodicals and collections issued when he stayed in Siberia and the Far East from 1908 to 1922, that being the purpose of the article.Chuzhak's literary and ideological reflection on the history of Siberian philology began to reveal itself in the early period of his Siberian exile, when he was in ideological opposition to local criticism. However, gradual research and immersion into the Siberian context and endeavors to understand the specificity of this faraway land literature began to form the position of not only a “stranger” but also a “cultural mediator.” It became fundamental that N. Chuzhak comprehended Siberian literature within the Marxist theory, which set an imprint on the methodology and conceptual model of his critical texts.Despite obvious tendentiousness of the main provisions, the critic’s undoubted merit was, as we see it, that for the first time he raised the question about the necessity of studying Siberian literature as a phenomenon of poetics. Chuzhak's creative work as the critic of Siberian literature, comprehended on a systemic level, represents a kind of a “metatext”, revealing both the evolution and stable typological features of different periods of his literary work.
Novel Hip Containment Technique in Setting of Unstable Hip Joint in a Trauma Setting
Authors: Firoozabadi Reza , Collins Andrew P. 
Published: February 2025

Case:
A 39-year-old woman who was involved in a motor vehicle collision sustained a right hip posterior wall acetabular fracture-dislocation. Subsequent dislocation was noted at the 4-week point with gross instability and heterotopic ossification. She underwent a hip containment technique using a transfemoral neck tunnel through the quadrilateral surface and FiberTape. At 1-year postoperatively, she reported improvement in mobility without evidence of repeat dislocation.

Conclusion:
This technique can be used for unstable hip sockets with a small posterior wall acetabular fracture to maintain hip stability. This is the first reported technique using an open intrapelvic approach to stabilize the hip.

Published: February 2025

Case:
A 59-year-old man developed a chronic atraumatic rupture of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon due to an os trigonum. The FHL to flexor digitorum longus (FDL) rerouting tendon transfer resulted in recovery of active motion in the hallux.

Conclusion:
Atraumatic chronic rupture of FHL is rare. Altering the course of FHL and tendon transfer is an easy and reliable technique for FHL chronic rupture. This technique avoids resection of the FDL and lowers the risk of FDL weakness.
Posterior Proximal Tibial Hemiepiphysiodesis
Authors: Georgiadis Andrew G. 
Published: February 2025

Case:
Apex posterior or recurvatum deformity of the proximal tibia is an uncommon skeletal alignment. Guided growth, or hemiepiphysiodesis, is a well-established technique for correcting periarticular deformities of the knee in children. A novel technique of posterior proximal tibial hemiepiphysiodesis (PPTHE), performed though a posterior approach, is described in combination with physeal bar resection for correction of post-traumatic proximal tibial recurvatum. Two cases are reviewed including surgical technique with 21-month and 30-month outcomes.

Conclusion:
Proximal tibial recurvatum in children can be corrected with posterior proximal tibial hemiepiphysiodesis. The procedure may be combined with physeal bar resection in cases of post-traumatic deformity.
A coronal mass ejection event cross-identified by both plasma motion and coronal dimming on AB Dor

Published: February 2025

Abstract

As one of the most violent phenomena known from the Sun, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), associated with escaping plasma energized by magnetic reconnection events, may lead to mass and angular momentum loss and cause very severe space weather disturbances around the Earth. CMEs are also thought to play key roles in stellar evolution, star-planet interaction and planetary habitability. On the Sun, CMEs have been studied intensively using the direct-imaging technique. For active stars, CMEs are expected to occur more frequently and strongly because of their higher activity levels reflecting by various statistics, yet the detection of stellar CMEs is quite challenging. So far only a handful of candidates have been reported, but all of them were identified by single indicator in a rather ambiguous fashion (Moschou et al, 2019; Argiroffi et al, 2019; Leitzinger and Odert, 2022). Here we report the high confidence discovery and characterization of a superflare-associated CME event on the rapidly rotating active star AB Dor, cross-identified by several diagnostics from solar CMEs. Using time-resolved high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of a superflare observed with the onboard Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) of the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) telescope (Jansen et al, 2001), we have detected coronal dimming by a decrease of electron density (ne) at the flare onset and decreases of flux, temperature (T) and emission measure (EM) at the end of decay phase, along with plasma motion indicating a high speed escape at $v_b sim 725 \pm 200\,\mathrm{km\,s}^{−1}$ . These indicators robustly suggest the occurrence of a stellar CME event in analogy to the well known solar counterparts. We highlight the feasibility of searching for stellar CMEs in large X-ray spectroscopic archives of the XMM-Newton, Chandra, etc. by more detailed analyses.

Abstract

Environmental surveillance has emerged as a pivotal strategy for early detection of pathogens that pose threats to humans (1) but has not been utilized for zoonotic agents. In Asia, live-bird markets (LBMs) are key human-animal interfaces for zoonotic virus transmission (2). Traditional sampling strategies are time-consuming, expensive, threaten animal welfare and have significant occupational biosafety risks. In this study, we assessed the performance of metagenomics on environmental samples (ES) compared to traditional poultry swabs for detecting avian viral pathogens in LBMs in Cambodia. ES, including air, cage swabs, and carcass wash water, were collected alongside throat and cloacal swabs from domestic chickens and ducks across twelve sampling visits in two LBMs over a 15-month period. Viral nucleic acids were extracted and sequenced using a capture probe-based metagenomics approach. Our results show that metagenomics on ES outperformed traditional poultry samples in detecting the highly pathogenic Influenza A/H5N1, including circulating clades 2.3.4.4b and 2.3.2.1c, which were found in the environment but missed by poultry swabs on multiple occasions. Environmental metagenomics was also highly sensitive in the detection of over 40 other viruses from key pathogen families such as Astroviridae, Coronaviridae, Picornaviridae, and Retroviridae. Viral contigs from ES showed high similarity to those from poultry swabs further highlighting the accuracy of this approach. Our findings highlight metagenomics on ES can precisely and effectively replicate metagenomic results from traditional surveillance samples, offering broader coverage and enhanced detection of avian pathogens. This robust approach could be pivotal for mitigating zoonotic spillover, controlling pathogen transmission at LBMs, and enhancing pandemic preparedness strategies.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, anthropogenic emission reductions and global warming have impacted marine low clouds through aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) and cloud feedback, yet their quantitative contributions remain unclear. This study employs a deep learning model (CNNMet−Nd) and Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) to disentangle these effects. CNNMet−Nd reveals that aerosol-driven changes in cloud droplet number concentration dominate near-global marine low cloud shortwave radiative effect changes (ΔCRE), contributing 0.42 ± 0.08 Wm⁻² per 20 years, compared to 0.05 ± 0.37 Wm⁻² from cloud feedback. CESM2 effectively reproduces the predominant influence of aerosol reductions on ΔCRE by CNNMet−Nd, lending us confidence for a stronger estimate of global effective radiative forcing due to ACI (ERFaci) of -1.29 Wm⁻² since the preindustrial era. These findings highlight the critical role of ACI in shaping marine low cloud trends and its broader climate implications, especially under ongoing emission reduction efforts.
Requirements Elicitation in Market-driven Software Development Companies: An Investigation of Crowd Involvement
Authors: Ambreen Talat , Ikram Naveed 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Market-driven (MD) software products are quite prominent these days, as software development companies are more inclined towards targeting a large customer base. The involvement of issues in the requirements elicitation of these kinds of products is not a new concept. Keeping this fact in mind, a requirement elicitation technique is needed to handle these issues. Various researchers have proposed crowd-based requirements elicitation (CBRE) as a method that offers the benefits of handling many diverse stakeholders and reduced cost and time to get the results etc. Considering the benefits of crowd-based requirements elicitation, it seems a viable option for these companies to use it to handle the requirements elicitation-related issues involved in software product development. We conducted semi-structured interviews with practitioners from 15 software development companies involved in MD product development to study the requirements elicitation practices of these companies, investigate the inclination of these companies towards crowdsourcing, the possible barriers practitioners think they can face while utilizing crowdsourcing for requirements-related activities along with the strategies to handle these barriers. The barriers have been mapped to the elements of the socio-technical theory. Based on the themes and categories of requirements elicitation practices, barriers to crowd-based requirements elicitation, and strategies to handle these barriers, we have proposed a conceptual framework of crowd-based requirements elicitation for MD software development companies. The outcome of this study will aid software product development companies in adopting crowdsourcing for requirements elicitation of their products and what strategies to follow to overcome the issues involved in its adoption.
Intersectional Inequality Index (Triple I)
Authors: Lichand Guilherme , Costa Thiago da , Megale Rodrigo , Moraes Gustavo 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Several studies document inequalities along race, gender or socioeconomic status that are not completely characterized by binary comparisons – when multiple social markers combine to magnify differences in outcomes, from malnutrition to educational attainment to substance abuse to victimization and incarceration. Despite progress in both language for and awareness
of intersectional inequalities, to date, there are no established methods to measure them while satisfying desirable statistical properties for group comparisons. This paper introduces a new statistical method – the intersectional inequality index (Triple I) – to measure intersectional inequalities even in the absence of survey instruments specifically designed for this goal.
The index captures differences in how a binary outcome is partitioned across social groups relative to fair (lottery-based) allocations. Unlike alternative inequality indicators, Triple I treats every group symmetrically regardless of group size. We discuss its axiomatic characterization, probabilistic interpretation, and statistical properties – including decompositions to study inequality sources. We illustrate its usefulness by studying intersectional inequalities in unemployment within the United States. We find that, by 2020, Midwestern States had the highest intersectional inequalities in unemployment. At the country level, such inequalities were driven by black and brown individuals above median wealth being disproportionately unemployed. As a result, the employment Equitable Access Index – which penalizes the desirable outcome by Triple I – was much more heterogeneous across States than employment rates at the time.
