Published: February 2025

Abstract
In strongly confined flow geometries, red blood cells migrate normal to the flow direction, thereby altering the flow rheology of blood. Direct optical measurements can help to gain an improved understanding of these migration processes. In the present study, we demonstrate that astigmatism particle tracking velocimetry is a suitable 3D-particle tracking method that allows to directly measure both 3D concentration and velocity distributions of red blood cells in a flow. Red blood cells assume a non-spherical shape; therefore, the influence of their orientation on the reconstruction of the out-of-plane particle position is evaluated through a ray tracing approach of synthetic, astigmatic images. While for noise-free images, the resulting absolute out-of-plane reconstruction error

), it triples for experimentally relevant signal-to-noise ratios (SNR = 1.2). Reconstruction errors are compared to those of spherical particles. Overall, both the red blood cell orientation and the increase in signal-to-noise ratio induce similar out-of-plane reconstruction error values. Experimental analyses are also performed using both a red blood cell suspension system and a refractive index-matched suspension system of identical volume fraction (

Comparing results from the red blood cell suspension flow with those of the particulate suspension under identical parameters for volume fraction, particle Reynolds number, and bulk Reynolds number, a similarity in lateral migration behavior is observed under the given conditions. The results indicate that the absolute out-of-plane reconstruction error in the red blood cell suspension system (

How I do it: surgical resection of micro-arteriovenous malformations
Authors: Corvino Sergio , Alexander A. Yohan , Lanzino Giuseppe 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Micro-arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a subgroup of AVMs with a nidus smaller than 1- cm. As such, intraoperative localization of micro-AVMs can be challenging. Once identified intraoperatively, however, treatment of the micro-AVM is often straightforward.

Method
We discuss and illustrate the fundamental imaging and intraoperative steps to localize micro-AVMs with the aid of an illustrative clinical case.

Conclusion
Micro-AVMs can be challenging to localize intraoperatively. With the aid of anatomical, clinical, and intraoperative findings, the micro-AVMs small draining vein can be localized and traced in a retrograde fashion to identify and remove the micro-AVM.
Living apart together– public-private cooperation in the field of financial crime
Authors: Meerts Clarissa A. , Huisman Wim , Kleemans Edward R. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The focus of this paper consists of the extent to which public-private cooperation and relationships exists between law enforcement actors and private (corporate) investigators in the field of internal financial crime within corporations, and which factors may be identified that hinder or advance cooperation. Only limited public-private cooperation seems to exist. Rather, public-private relationships move on a scale ranging from more to less contact, both in intensity and in longevity. Promoting factors that are identified consist of the importance of mutual interests, shared goals and focus, networking and trust, the dedicated individual and communication and expectation management. Impeding factors include governability, a lack of trust and mutual understanding, the structure of the criminal justice system, the structure of the market for corporate investigations, the use of pre-existing contacts and laws and regulations. This study furthermore suggests that the internal context of the crime may enhance the role of three of these impeding factors: trust may be more difficult to obtain in this context and reasons connected to the structuring of both the criminal justice system and the market for corporate investigations may raise the barriers for cooperation even further than in the case of external crime. Based on the results of this study, a case is made to look beyond the vertical/horizontal conceptual divide used in much (criminological) literature. Rather, public-private relationships can be conceptualised as ‘living apart together’: public and private parties independently attempt to combat internal financial crime, but also manage to find each other when deemed necessary.
Multifaceted stress response in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings: integrative analysis of salinity, ammonia, and stocking density effects on growth, physiology, and gene expression

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of salinity, ammonia, and stocking density on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings over a 74-days. In three separate experiments, fingerlings (initial weight 25 ± 2.4 g) were exposed to salinity levels (5, 10, 15, and 20 ppt), ammonia concentrations (0.01, 0.02, 0.1, and 0.2 mg/L), and stocking densities (10, 15, 20, and 25 fish per 96 L aquarium). Survival, growth performance, biochemical parameters, and gene expression changes were assessed. Salinity ≥ 15 ppt and ammonia ≥ 0.1 mg/L significantly impaired growth (final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed efficiency) and increased mortality rates, reaching 37% and 56% at 20 ppt salinity and 0.2 mg/L ammonia, respectively. Elevated salinity and ammonia also caused significant increases in the activities of ALT, AST, LDH enzymes, along with higher serum glucose levels, while disrupting serum protein and ion concentrations, indicating considerable metabolic and osmoregulatory disturbances. At the molecular level, the expression of the growth-promoting IGF-I gene was down-regulated, while inflammatory marker TNFα was up-regulated, suggesting compromised health. Stocking density had less pronounced effects, though densities ≥ 20 fish/aquarium led to reduced growth, altered biochemical markers, and gene expression changes compared to 10–15 fish/aquarium. These findings establish salinity and ammonia tolerance thresholds for tilapia fingerlings, emphasize optimal stocking density, and provide insights into the physiological and molecular responses to multifactorial stressors. The study contributes to sustainable management strategies for tilapia aquaculture under variable environmental conditions.
Periodic Variation of Anomalous Cosmic Ray Oxygen During Solar Cycles 23 and 24
Authors: Kotzé Pieter , Mursula Kalevi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We investigate the evolution of the Rieger periodicity at 152 – 156 days, the 27-day synodic rotation period as well as the 13.5- and 9-day harmonic periodicities in anomalous cosmic ray (ACR) oxygen (O) fluxes at the energy range between 8 – 25 MeV/n observed by the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) satellite during Solar Cycles 23 and 24. The ACR oxygen flux data is analysed using the Lomb–Scargle periodogram and Morlet wavelet spectral analysis techniques. Daily mean oxygen fluxes during solar quiet times are used to identify how the ACR oxygen at different energies varies with the Rieger periodicity and the solar rotation periodicities in each year. This is the first investigation of the periodicity evolution of ACR oxygen ions. Previous investigations have mostly concentrated on the spectral behaviour of GCR particles during various solar cycles of opposite polarities, in particular the 27-day and 13.5-day periodicities. Our analysis revealed a significant temporal and energy dependence in the spectral behaviour of ACR oxygen during both cycles. An important finding of this investigation, not reported before in the literature, is the significant increase in the power of the different ACR oxygen periodicities during the minimum of Cycle 24/25 (characterised by a positive solar polarity) in comparison to the minimum of Cycle 23/34 (dominated by a negative solar polarity).
Enhancing Object Release Fluency in Robot to Human Handover Using Proprioceptive and Exteroceptive Information
Authors: Penzotti Mattia , Controzzi Marco 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Object handover is the fundamental collaborative action requiring robots and humans to physically interact. When the robotic partner plays the giver role, it assumes the responsibility of safely and fluently conducting the handover, aiming to enhance the quality of the action perceived by the human receiver. In these terms, complex scenarios, such as conditions for which the robot must reach the partner to present the object to handover, really pose the challenge of preserving good coordination concerning the observed intention of the human. A crucial aspect is gaining the correct timing for the beginning of the object release and controlling its duration. Here we show that robot proprioception and observation of the human partner kinematics are key aspects to successfully deal with these issues. We present a handover control policy based on two modules. The first consists of a filtering technique which guarantees the correct reactivity of the robot by estimating and interpreting the interaction forces generated during the handover. The second module is a bio-inspired control law for the object release, aiming for the best possible coordination with the human partner. The control policy has been implemented in a robot arm equipped with a sensorised artificial hand and assessed by 15 participants asked to hand over a test object using different reaching dynamics. The control policy proved to be reliable since we did not record failures of the handover in 180 trials, and coordinated to the handover dynamics of the receiver, although it did not outperform fast feed-forward releases.
Telescopic alluvial fans and pleistocene-holocene temporary lakes in the quebradas del Río Toro and Tastil (Salta, NW Argentina): main sedimentary features
Authors: Colombo F. , Salfity J. A. , Sánchez M. C. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Toro and Tastil Quebradas (river valleys) present different terrace-like geoforms made up of deposits of coarse-grained clastic materials. These terraces display convex-upward surfaces, a highly variable distribution, have a small lateral extension and depend on the lithology of the geological basement, which differs significantly along the quebradas. The number of terraces between one area and another indicates that these terraced geoforms should not be ascribed to one single cause, but rather to a variety of factors, i.e. local variations at base-level. The coarse-grained materials of the terraces are usually arranged in roughly horizontal layers that characterize the outcrops. These are interfingered with fine-grained mud-rich materials. The freshwater gastropod remains in the mud-rich materials indicate that they accumulated in lacustrine-like sedimentary environments. These developed from alluvial fans that spread out from the lateral quebradas to occupy the entire main valley (quebrada), giving rise to natural dams and temporary lakes upstream. Absolute data obtained by radiocarbon (14C) methods strongly suggest that the alluvial fans were coeval with the temporary lakes in the Upper Pleistocene - Middle Holocene. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects could have brought about the local variations in base-level that generated the younger temporary lakes, whereas the older ones were probably controlled by precession cycles (at about 21,000 y). The large number of temporary lakes scattered across the region suggests the overlapping of forcing factors at local and regional scales.
Desire and agency: posthuman perspectives of becoming a ‘rebel teacher’ on a wounded planet
Authors: Ward Kumara San 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper tells the story of my journey as a teacher and my attempts to understand and shape my education for sustainability practices over a period of 40 years. It is also an attempt to speak to younger teachers and to exemplify a process of becoming an educator that may be useful for others in navigating the urgent need to transform teaching to respond to the current climate crisis. Using autoethnography, this paper reflects on the process of becoming a ‘rebel-teacher’ on a wounded planet. I use Deleuzian concepts of desire, becoming and multiplicities and Barads posthumanist concepts of agential realism and diffraction, interpreting key moments in time defining my engagement with the natural world through arts-based pedagogies, outdoor education, curriculum development and research. I trace a progression from anthropocentric theories and pedagogical practice related to sustainability, to understanding through diffractive posthumanist perspectives. I situate these reflections beginning in the 1980s when environmental concerns were filtering into education in Australia, to the present time where the climate crisis demands all educators take a rebel stance to imbue pedagogy with approaches for ameliorating and living with climate change. I posit that the arts, creative curriculum and posthumanist viewing of the world can effect an activist attitude, highlighting place-based perspectives and offering the possibility for considered decisions on action toward education for regenerative living.
The 2016 Reform of French Contract Law: Some Recent Developments
Authors: Rowan Solène 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article focuses on the impact of the reform of the contract law section of the French Civil Code in 2016 in two key areas: remedies for breach of contract and regulation of unfair terms. In particular, it draws a contrast between the ways in which two of the most controversial provisions introduced by the reforms have been applied in practice. While new Article 1221, which limits specific enforcement where it is disproportionate, has been accepted by the courts, Article 1171, which deems unfair terms as not written, has been interpreted narrowly to the point of being marginalised.
A Sense of Belonging in Regional Queensland Special Schools From the Perspective of School Leaders, Teachers, and Teacher Aides
Authors: Hayward Marie , Marshman Margaret 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Sense of belonging is a complex construct that we all strive for in our daily lives. Sense of school belonging influences educational outcomes and is vital for cognitive, behavioural, and socio-emotional success at school. Sense of belonging for students with disability in special schools has rarely been examined and is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the role special school leaders, teachers, and teacher aides play in building a sense of belonging for themselves and their students. Two hundred and sixty-two participants from 10 state special schools within a regional area of Queensland, Australia, completed a survey to determine their perceptions of how special school staff promoted school belonging as well as their knowledge of policy documents. Responses consistently indicated a positive sense of school belonging across all schools. Findings highlight what school leaders, teachers, and teacher aides do in their everyday practices to promote a strong sense of belonging at their special schools, including building positive trusting relationships with all stakeholders, learning environments that valued diversity and difference, inclusive practices that met the social and academic needs of students, and schools’ organisational practices.
The Effects of Interactive Requests on the Quantity and Quality of Survey Responses: An International Methodological Experiment
Authors: Ghassim Farsan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
A perennial issue of survey research is that some participants do not answer all questions. Interactive follow-up requests are a novel approach to this problem. However, research on their effectiveness is scarce. I present the most comprehensive study yet on the effects of interactive requests on item non-responses. Theoretically, I outline different pathways whereby follow-up requests may effectively increase response rates and improve data quality: reminding, motivating, instructing, monitoring, and sanctioning. To test my hypothesis that interactive requests increase item response rates, I conducted an online survey experiment in 2021 on diverse samples of around 3,100 respondents in ten countries worldwide. I find that follow-up requests generally increase response rates, although effects vary by country. Depending on the question and survey design, interactive requests reduce item non-responses by up to 47 per cent across countries, while not adversely affecting data quality. I thus recommend response requests to increase survey data efficiency.

Abstract
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the main staples in the Peruvian Andes. Phenotypic diversity is extremely high in terms of plant morphology, grain colour, grain size and uses. However, little is known about the genetic component of the Peruvian maize. Genotyping-by-sequencing was used, for the first time, to infer the genetic diversity and population structure of 25 accessions of maize collected from two ecoregions of the departments of the Peruvian highlands, Cajamarca and Huancavelica, to provide a basis for the conservation and breeding of this crop genetic resource. A total of 29,332 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were identified along all 10 chromosomes of maize. STRUCTURE analysis revealed two clusters (open-pollinated cultivars and landraces). Principal coordinate analysis and our dendrogram showed that these accessions of Peruvian maize do not group based on their geographic origin but on their improvement status, however, this is weakly supported. Average genetic diversity was very high (0.35). Analysis of molecular variance showed a reduced variation between populations (2.85%) and indicated that variability within populations is 97.15%. The lowest population divergence was zero for populations of Colcabamba versus Pichos and Daniel Hernandez versus Colcabamba and the highest population divergence (0.041) was observed for population Cajamarca versus Santiago de Tucuma. As expected, FIS values were positive. Additional samples from other Andean and west coast Peruvian localities are needed to provide a better understanding of the genetic components of this important crop aiming to develop a modern breeding programme of maize in Peru.
Observation of Electric Field Enhancement at Ion Composition Boundary at Mars and Its Relation to Oxygen Acceleration

Published: February 2025

AbstractDirect electric field measurements during certain ionosphere‐magnetosheath transitions on the dayside of Mars reveal a presence of localized (20 km thickness along vertical direction) strong (40 mV/m) electric field located at the solar wind stagnation point. This electric field is nearly collocated with the ion composition boundary where ionospheric oxygen ions are observed to be accelerated up to 1 keV, forming a layer of higher temperature plasma around the stagnation point. Simulations demonstrate that the observed localized electric field enhancement can create this hotter plasma layer population on either side of the boundary. This plasma layer can have an impact on the solar wind coupling with the planet and forms a reservoir for heavy ion escape.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This manuscript presents a Pre-AttentiveGaze dataset. One of the defining characteristics of gaze-based authentication is the necessity for a rapid response. In this study, we constructed a dataset for identifying individuals through eye movements by inducing “pre-attentive processing” in response to a given gaze stimulus in a very short time. A total of 76,840 eye movement samples were collected from 34 participants across five sessions. From the dataset, we extracted the gaze features proposed in previous studies, pre-processed them, and validated the dataset by applying machine learning models. This study demonstrates the efficacy of the dataset and illustrates its potential for use in gaze-based authentication of visual stimuli that elicit pre-attentive processing.

Abstract
As wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with Internet of Things (IoT) devices become increasingly widespread and more complex, the threat of cyber-attacks is also increasing. One of the most common ways WSNs can be hijacked is when passwords/IDs are leaked. If the passwords do not frequently change, it is easier for the system to be compromised. However, many organizations and individuals retain old passwords to avoid the hassle and challenge of continually remembering and managing new passwords. COSMO-PASS is a new technique that combines COSMOCAT and CTC to enable hardware-level protection of the WSN nodes. It removes the inconvenience of having its users create, remember, and change multiple passwords. Based on the test experiments and simulations with a 102-cm2-sized (a smartphone-sized) detector, 6–7-digit passwords are automatically generated and transferred to the sensor node within the time range from 1 s to 1 min, depending on the nodal distance (10–50 cm). Consequently, it is confirmed that automatically generated and frequent password updates are possible with COSMO-PASS, which will effectively protect the data and network. Although applications of COSMO-PASS are limited to a short range, since users do not have to know or physically input the password to their system, the phishing risk is greatly mitigated. It is anticipated that the enhanced security level capabilities of COSMO-PASS can easily be applied to the next generation of secured short-haul wireless sensor networks to achieve the realization of safer and smarter communities.
