Breaking Binaries: The Critical Need for Feminist Bioethics in Pediatric Gender‐Affirming Care
Authors: Campo‐Engelstein Lisa , Jackson Grayson R. , Moses Jacob D. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis commentary responds to Moti Gorin's article “What Is the Aim of Pediatric ‘Gender‐Affirming’ Care?” We argue that Gorin's case against pediatric gender‐affirming care rests upon numerous false conceptual binaries: female/male, public/private, objective/subjective, and medically necessary/elective. Drawing on feminist bioethics, we show how such dichotomous thinking is both inaccurate and marginalizing of gender minorities.

Published: June 2024

AbstractIssueUniversal school lunches hold the potential to improve student nutritional intake and access to food, but to do so menus must be nutritionally adequate. There is growing interest in school lunch programs (SLPs) in Australia, and one is currently being trialled in Tasmania. No nutrition guidelines currently exist for menu development in Australian schools.MethodsA desktop review of international SLPs was completed, and findings analysed in the context of Australian Nutrient Reference Values and Australian Dietary Guidelines to inform the development of Tasmanian SLP guidelines.DiscussionGlobally, SLPs are guided by portion sizes and/or nutrient criteria. SLPs (many of which address food insecurity) must provide children the opportunity to meet energy and nutrient needs, while minimising food waste. We propose energy‐based nutrient criteria and qualitative recommendations for menu development.So What?We have developed guidelines to inform the development of Tasmanian SLP menus. These guidelines may be applicable to other states and territories piloting similar programs.
Predicting carbon and oil price returns using hybrid models based on machine and deep learning
Authors: Molina‐Muñoz Jesús , Mora‐Valencia Andrés , Perote Javier 
Published: June 2024

SummaryPredicting carbon and oil prices is recently gaining relevance in the climate change literature. This is due to the fact that conventional energy market analysis and the design of mechanisms for climate change mitigation constitute key variables for artificial carbon markets. Yet, modelling non‐linear effects in time series remains a major challenge for carbon and oil price forecasting. Hence, hybrid models seem to be appealing alternatives for this purpose. This study evaluates the performance of 12 hybrid models, which weigh results from random forest, support vector machine, autoregressive integrated moving average and the non‐linear autoregressive neural network models. The weights are determined by (i) assuming equal weights, (ii) using a neural network to optimise individual weights and (iii) employing deep learning techniques. The findings of our work confirm the salient characteristics of modelling the non‐linear effects of time series and the potential of hybrid models based on neural networks and deep learning in predicting carbon and oil price returns. Furthermore, the best results are obtained from hybrid models that combine machine learning and traditional econometric techniques as inputs, which capture the linear and non‐linear effects of time series.
Testing a modified information system success model in a mobile travel app context
Authors: Dube Nombeko , Humbani Michael 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe purpose of the study was to test a modified information system success model in the context of a mobile travel application in order to provide a richer explanation of the focal operating system and the psychological factors that leisure travelers regard as important for user engagement with mobile travel apps. The interrelationship among the basic constructs of DeLone and McLean's information system success model were also explored. A sample size of 219 mobile travel application users aged 18 years and older and who reside in South Africa was collected using purposive non‐probability convenience sampling. A self‐administered online survey was used for data collection. An exploratory factor analysis revealed the information quality and system quality dimensions to be a single dimension, which was named information and system quality. The results established information and system quality as a significant predictor of service quality. Information and system quality, involvement, and enjoyment also emerged as significant predictors of user engagement with mobile travel applications, while service quality is not. Furthermore, engagement significantly influences word‐of‐mouth. The study suggests that service providers of mobile travel applications should consider both the information and system characteristics of an application and the psychological factors of involvement and enjoyment if they are to have a better understanding of user engagement with mobile travel applications. The findings indicate that the modified DeLone and McLean's information system success model could be more applicable to exploring mobile travel application engagement in emerging economies, and could be applied to future related studies in other contexts in order to expand existing knowledge.

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe effects of climate change have put tremendous stress on our existing water infrastructure and necessitate rethinking of how we govern and manage these systems. This commentary is a call to action for placing a holistic understanding of climate resilience at the center of water governance, understanding and approaching the issues as contextual and interdisciplinary in nature. Drawing from experiences from the Netherlands and the United States, this commentary outlines climate adaptation as policy dilemma and the role and characteristics of engineering, nature‐based, and community‐focused approaches. It concludes with some thoughts on pathways forward and an invitation for future research and dialog.
“Life Wouldn't be as Full without the Shed”: New directions for men in retirement
Authors: Heinz Melinda 
Published: June 2024

AbstractMen's Sheds are grassroots organizations that began in Australia and have expanded to other parts of the world. They provide spaces for men to make new friends, participate in projects together or learn new skills. Men, as compared to women tend to have smaller social networks and less support in older adulthood, therefore navigating retirement and other age‐related adjustments may be more challenging without support resources. The purpose of this paper was to explore how Irish Men's Sheds helped men with the transition to retirement. Interviews with Men's Sheds members aged 65+ (N = 37) were completed in County Limerick, Ireland. Transcripts were analyzed thematically, and two themes were identified: (1) Filling the Void and a subtheme on Continuous Achievement, and (2) Intentional Preparation. Many of the men who were interviewed were unsure how to spend their time before joining the Men's Shed. After participating, they reported enjoying the connections with other men and having something useful to do. Some men specifically sought out a Men's Shed as they approached retirement after seeing their peers struggle with the adjustment. The men perceived Men's Sheds to be beneficial and saw them as a purposeful and productive outlet to engage in. Men without access to community organizations such as Men's Sheds may be at greater risk for loneliness and social isolation in older adulthood. Policies are needed to help prepare men for the psychological transition to retirement and to help organizations such as Men's Sheds remain financially viable.
Ectodermal origin and tissue dedifferentiation in the podocyst production by the polyps of the Asian moon jelly (Aurelia coerulea)
Authors: Ikeda Hideki 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe histological origin of podocysts in scyphozoans has long been undetermined, with uncertainty whether they arise from mesenchymal amoebocytes or stalk and pedal disc ectoderm in polyps. Histological investigation on the pedal disc was difficult due to the settlement of polyps on hard substrates. In this study, we investigated the histological characteristics of polyps during podocyst production in Asian moon jelly (Aurelia coerulea) with utilizing those attached on thin polystyrene substrates. Fine histological features of the pedal disc became possible after the substrates were decomposed during histological processing. Our findings unequivocally demonstrate that the cell mass of podocysts originates from the ectoderm of the pedal disc and the stalk without the involvement of amoebocytes in the mesoglea. Preceding the podocyst formation, the pedal disc undergoes enlargement facilitated by the elongated stalk ectodermal cells, which attach to a substrate. Subsequently, the pedal disc ectoderm give rise to the primary podocyst cells with accumulating nutrient granules in the cytoplasm and forming the cyst capsule cooperatively with the invaginated pedal disc ectoderm. Direct transformation from the ectodermal cells to podocyst cells suggests that podocyst formation involves tissue dedifferentiation. Throughout the period of podocyst production, the gastrodermis of polyps is physically separated from the ectoderm by the mesoglea and shows no histological changes, and no amoebocytes appear in the mesoglea. These histological properties are totally different from those in other modes of asexual reproduction, which incorporate the endoderm of polyps, suggesting the developmental and evolutionary differences between these asexual reproductions and podocyst production in Scyphozoa.

AbstractIn the United States, 8,000,000 people seek emergency care for traumatic injury annually. Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) and sexual assault are two common sources of trauma, with evidence that reduced neighborhood‐level socioeconomic characteristics increase posttraumatic pain and stress after an MVC. We evaluated whether neighborhood disadvantage was also associated with physical and mental posttrauma outcomes after sexual assault in a sample of adult women (N = 656) who presented for emergency care at facilities in the United States following sexual assault and were followed for 1 year. Neighborhood characteristics were assessed via the Area Deprivation Index, and self‐reported pain, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were collected at 6 weeks posttrauma. Adjusted log‐binomial regression models examined the association between each clinical outcome and neighborhood disadvantage. Women in more disadvantaged neighborhoods were more likely to be non‐White and have lower annual incomes. At 6 weeks posttrauma, the prevalence of clinically significant pain, anxiety, and depressive symptoms more than doubled from baseline (41.7% vs. 18.8%, 62.4% vs. 23.9%, and 55.2% vs. 22.7%, respectively); 40.7% of women also reported PTSD symptoms. Black, Hispanic, and lower‐income participants were more likely to report pre‐ and postassault pain, anxiety, and depression. After adjusting for race, ethnicity, and income, no significant association existed between neighborhood disadvantage and any outcome, ps = .197 ‐ .859. Although neighborhood disadvantage was not associated with posttrauma outcomes, these findings highlight the need for continued research in diverse populations at high risk of adverse physical and mental health symptoms following sexual assault.
The three axioms of resilience
Authors: Bonanno George A. , Westphal Maren 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis article summarizes the growing literature on resilience in the face of aversive and potentially traumatic events (PTEs) in three basic axioms: (a) resilience is a common outcome, 2) there are no “key” traits to resilience (resilience is not a type), and (c) resilient outcomes occur through flexible self‐regulation. The first axiom highlights the limitation of a traditional, binary view of trauma in terms of the presence–absence of posttraumatic stress disorder, emphasizing instead the heterogeneity of trauma outcomes. Four prototypical trajectories are reviewed: chronic symptoms; delayed symptoms; recovery; and the most common trajectory, resilience. The second axiom reviews the paradoxical inability of known correlates of resilience to adequately predict resilient outcomes. Resilience is instead described as a multifaceted phenomenon with no singular set of key traits, as various factors contribute to resilient outcomes in complex ways. The third axiom provides an explanation of how resilience can emerge from this complex array by introducing the concept of flexible self‐regulation. The flexibility mindset is described as providing the motivation for flexible responding. The flexibility sequence is described as explaining the mechanisms underlying flexibility in terms of three serial stages: context sensitivity, strategy repertoire, and feedback adjustment. The final section briefly considers clinical implications.
Competing for private investments in public equity in China: The role of corporate philanthropy
Authors: Zhou Jingting , Chang Yuyuan 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis study examines whether corporate philanthropy improves firms' competitiveness in the market for private investments in public equity (PIPEs). Adopting a Chinese PIPE sample between 2007 and 2019, corporate donations have been observed to increase the likelihood of issuers' PIPE applications being approved by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). It is also shown that CSRC spends less time reviewing PIPE applications of donating firms. Consistent with the signalling argument, we find that firms with corporate donations may be unlikely to act opportunistically in PIPE issuing. Further, the effect of corporate donations is stronger in competitive industries and large‐scale PIPEs. Finally, short‐run post‐issuance abnormal returns tend to be higher for PIPE issuers with corporate philanthropy. Overall, our findings indicate that corporate philanthropy can serve as a differentiation strategy to compete for PIPEs.
Brook Trout population response to Brown Trout removal by electrofishing in a Wisconsin Driftless Area stream
Authors: Olson Kirk W. , Pechacek Kristina , Benike Heath 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Objective
Populations of Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis have declined across their native range in North America due to a combination of habitat loss, exploitation, and introductions of nonnative salmonids. Brown Trout Salmo trutta have been widely introduced into streams across Brook Trout's native range and likely displace Brook Trout from suitable habitat. We evaluated the population response of Brook Trout to Brown Trout removal in Maple Dale Creek, a Wisconsin Driftless Area stream, relative to a nearby control stream with similar habitat and sympatric Brook Trout and Brown Trout. Variation in mean July stream temperature (11.6–16.4°C) among survey sites also allowed us to examine whether summer stream temperature was related to the population response of Brook Trout to Brown Trout removal.

Methods
Between 2019 and 2023, we completed 33.7 km of single-pass electrofishing during 56 site visits and removed 20,495 Brown Trout from 7.1 km of Maple Dale Creek upstream of an existing fish passage barrier. Concurrently, annual salmonid population estimates were completed on Maple Dale Creek and a nearby reference stream.

Result
By 2023, biomass and density of Brown Trout age 1 and older (age 1+) had decreased to 1% or less of 2019 levels. Concurrently, age-1+ Brook Trout biomass increased by a factor of 5.5 and density by a factor of 9.7. In contrast, age-1+ Brook Trout density and biomass in our control stream remained low and relatively unchanged. Brook Trout population response to Brown Trout removal was positive across all four sites but exhibited a positive correlation to mean July stream temperature.

Conclusion
Our results add to the evidence that Brown Trout displace Brook Trout populations from stream habitat, highlight the utility of electrofishing removal of Brown Trout in restoring Brook Trout populations where downstream fish passage barriers are present, and suggest that Brown Trout suppression of Brook Trout is positively related to summer stream temperature.
3‐D impulse‐based level‐set method for granular flow modeling
Authors: Tan Peng , Wijesuriya Hasitha S. , Sitar Nicholas 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWe explore the viability of modeling dynamic problems with a new formulation of an impulse‐based Level‐Set DEM (LS‐DEM). The new formulation is stable, fast, and energy conservative. However, it can be numerically stiff when the assembly has substantial mass differences between particles. We also demonstrate the feasibility of modeling deformable structures in a rigid body framework and propose several enhancements to improve the convergence of collision resolution, including a hybrid time integration scheme to separately handle at rest contacts and dynamic collisions. Finally, we extend the impulse‐based LS‐DEM to include arbitrarily shaped topographic surfaces and exploit its algorithmic advantages to demonstrate the feasibility of modeling realistic behavior of granular flows. The new formulation significantly improves the performance of dynamic simulations by allowing larger time steps, which is advantageous for observing the full development of physical phenomena such as rock avalanches, which we present as an illustrative example.
Biorthogonal Majorana zero modes, ELC waves and soliton-fermion duality in non-Hermitian sl(2) affine Toda coupled to fermions
Authors: Blas Harold 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We study a non-Hermitian (NH) sl(2) affine Toda model coupled to fermions through soliton theory techniques and the realizations of the pseudo-chiral and pseudo- Hermitian symmetries. The interplay of non-Hermiticity, integrability, nonlinearity, and topology significantly influence the formation and behavior of a continuum of bound state modes (CBM) and extended waves in the localized continuum (ELC). The non-Hermitian soliton-fermion duality, the complex scalar field topological charges and winding numbers in the spectral topology are uncovered. The biorthogonal Majorana zero modes, dual to the NH Toda solitons with topological charges $$ \frac{2}{\pi}\arg \left(z=\pm i\right)=\pm 1 $$

On pole-skipping with gauge-invariant variables in holographic axion theories
Authors: Ahn Yongjun , Jahnke Viktor , Jeong Hyun-Sik , Ji Chang-Woo , Kim Keun-Young , Nishida Mitsuhiro 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We study the pole-skipping phenomenon within holographic axion theories, a common framework for studying strongly coupled systems with chemical potential (μ) and momentum relaxation (β). Considering the backreaction characterized by μ and β, we encounter coupled equations of motion for the metric, gauge, and axion field, which are classified into spin-0, spin-1, and spin-2 channels. Employing gauge-invariant variables, we systematically address these equations and explore pole-skipping points within each sector using the near-horizon method. Our analysis reveals two classes of pole-skipping points: regular and singular pole-skipping points in which the latter is identified when standard linear differential equations exhibit singularity. Notably, pole-skipping points in the lower-half plane are regular, while those elsewhere are singular. This suggests that the pole-skipping point in the spin-0 channel, associated with quantum chaos, corresponds to a singular pole-skipping point. Additionally, we observe that the pole-skipping momentum, if purely real or imaginary for μ = β = 0, retains this characteristic for μ ≠ 0 and β ≠ 0.
Constraints on photon mass and dark photon from the Jovian magnetic field
Authors: Yan Shi , Li Lingfeng , Fan JiJi 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The Jovian magnetic field, being the strongest and largest planetary one in the solar system, could offer us new insights into possible microscopic scale new physics, such as a non-zero mass of the Standard Model (SM) photon or a light dark photon kinetically mixing with the SM photon. We employ the immense data set from the latest Juno mission, which provides us unprecedented information about the magnetic field of the gas giant, together with a more rigorous statistical approach compared to the literature, to set strong constraints on the dark photon mass and kinetic mixing parameter, as well as the SM photon mass. The constraint on the dark photon parameters is independent of whether dark photon is (part of) dark matter or not, and serves as the most stringent one in a certain regime of the parameter space.

AbstractWhile studies have explored the feasibility of switching between various thrombopoietin receptor agonists in treating immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), data on the switching from eltrombopag to hetrombopag remains scarce. This post-hoc analysis of a phase III hetrombopag trial aimed to assess the outcomes of ITP patients who switched from eltrombopag to hetrombopag. In the original phase III trial, patients initially randomized to the placebo group were switched to eltrombopag. Those who completed this 14-week eltrombopag were eligible to switch to a 24-week hetrombopag. Treatment response, defined as a platelet count of ≥ 50 × 109/L, and safety were evaluated before and after the switch. Sixty-three patients who completed the 14-week eltrombopag and switched to hetrombopag were included in this post-hoc analysis. Response rates before and after the switch were 66.7% and 88.9%, respectively. Among those with pre-switching platelet counts below 30 × 109/L, eight out of 12 patients (66.7%) responded, while eight out of nine patients (88.9%) with pre-switching platelet counts between 30 × 109/L and 50 × 109/L responded post-switching. Treatment-related adverse events were observed in 50.8% of patients during eltrombopag treatment and 38.1% during hetrombopag treatment. No severe adverse events were noted during hetrombopag treatment. Switching from eltrombopag to hetrombopag in ITP management appears to be effective and well-tolerated. Notably, hetrombopag yielded high response rates, even among patients who had previously shown limited response to eltrombopag. However, these observations need to be confirmed in future trials.
