Writing like a Bourdieusian Scholar: From The Craft of Sociology to the Writing Patterns in Actes de la recherche en sciences sociales
Authors: Boucher Aurélien 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis paper is a debate on why Bourdieusian scholars have never fully embraced the “Introduction/Literature review/Data & methods/Results/Discussion” (ILDRD) article format which is mainstream in North American Sociological publications. This paper attempts to argue that Pierre Bourdieu, Jean‐Claude Chamboredon, and Jean‐Claude Passeron developed a different writing format – inspired by Gaston Bachelard's “applied rationalism” ‐‐ and which became more influential among French scholars. The Bourdieu inspired different writing patterns and reasoning, I argue, can be traced in the flagship journal Actes de la Recherche en Sciences Sociales. This paper invites further debate on the differences in approaching article formats in the social sciences.
Invisible Iterations: How Formal and Informal Organization Shape Knowledge Networks for Coordination
Authors: Brennecke Julia , Coutinho James A. , Gilding Michael , Lusher Dean , Schaffer Graham 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis study takes a network approach to investigate coordination among knowledge workers as grounded in both formal and informal organization. We first derive hypotheses regarding patterns of knowledge‐sharing relationships by which workers pass on and exchange tacit and codified knowledge within and across organizational hierarchies to address the challenges that underpin contemporary knowledge work. We use survey data and apply exponential random graph models to test our hypotheses. We then extend the quantitative network analysis with insights from qualitative interviews and demonstrate that the identified knowledge‐sharing patterns are the micro‐foundational traces of collective coordination resulting from two underlying coordination mechanisms which we label ‘invisible iterations’ and ‘bringing in the big guns’. These mechanisms and, by extension, the associated knowledge‐sharing patterns enable knowledge workers to perform in a setting that is characterized by complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity. Our research contributes to theory on the interplay between formal and informal organization for coordination by showing how self‐directed, informal action is supported by the formal organizational hierarchy. In doing so, it also extends understanding of the role that hierarchy plays for knowledge‐intensive work. Finally, it establishes the collective need to coordinate work as a previously overlooked driver of knowledge network relationships and network patterns.

Published: April 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe Fijian ‘Bula Smile’ is often described as the world's friendliest; however, its description remains anecdotal.ObjectiveThis study aimed to describe and compare the dynamics of Fijians' smiles with those of New Zealand Europeans.MethodsAn observational study was conducted on two ethnic groups, Fijians (FJ; N = 23) and New Zealand Europeans (NZ; N = 23), age‐ and gender‐matched. All participants were asked to watch amusing videos, and their reactions were video recorded. The videos were analysed by software to assess the frequency, duration, intensity and genuineness of smiling episodes. Based on the Facial Action Coding System, Action Unit 6 (AU6—cheek raiser), Action Unit 12 (AU12—lip corner puller) and Action Unit 25 (AU25—lips apart) were assessed. Data were analysed by generalised linear models after adjusting for personality traits.ResultsFijians smiled longer than New Zealand Europeans (+19.9%; p = .027). Mean intensity of AU6 (+1.0; 95%CIs = 0.6–1.5; p < .001), AU12 (+0.5; 95%CIs = 0.1–0.9; p = .008) and AU25 (+22.3%; 95%CIs = 7.3%–37.3%; p = .005) were significantly higher in FJ group than the NZ group.ConclusionSmiling features of Fijians and New Zealanders showed objective differences, the most distinctive being a higher activation of the Duchenne's marker (AU6) in the Fijian group, which is regarded as a sign of smile genuineness.

Published: April 2024

AbstractBackgroundCervical posture affects swallowing function through contractile and non‐contractile structures. Craniocervical flexor endurance training (CCFET), which focuses on the activation of deep cervical muscles, is used to ensure cervical posture stability.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CCFET on the suprahyoid muscles (SH), which play an important role in swallowing function.MethodsEighty healthy individuals (52 female and 28 male, mean age 21.77 ± 1.81 years) were recruited and randomly assigned to groups that underwent either deep cervical flexor (DCF) training with a pressure biofeedback unit (CCFET group, n = 41) or no intervention (control group, n = 39). The intervention was applied for 4 weeks (five sessions per week). Static endurance and activation of DCF muscles (Craniocervical Flexion Test, CCFT), tragus–wall distance (TWD) for forward head posture and surface electromyographic (sEMG) activation of suprahyoid muscles were evaluated.ResultsThe endurance and activation of the DCF muscles were significantly increased in the CCFET group (p = <.001). In the CCFET group, TWD significantly lower than the control group (p = <.001) Peak SH amplitude and mean SH amplitude were lower in the CCFET group compared to the control group (p = .013, p = .003).ConclusionThe study shows that 4 weeks of CCFET reduced SH muscle activation, allowing the same work to be done with fewer motor units. CCFET can be included in rehabilitation programs as an additional method that has an effect on the muscles involved in swallowing by providing cervical motor control.
Accounts of perspective taking in narrative
Authors: Hinterwimmer Stefan 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis paper gives an overview over two different kinds of protagonists' perspective taking in narrative texts, Free Indirect Discourse (FID) and Protagonist Projection (PP)/Viewpoint Shifting (VS), and the most important analyses of these phenomena that have been proposed within the framework of formal semantics and pragmatics. While FID is a special form of reporting self‐reflexively conscious thoughts and utterances which in contrast to indirect and direct discourse is not overtly marked as such, PP/VS renders the content of protagonists' perceptions and beliefs. The paper discusses empirical differences between these two kinds of protagonists' perspective taking with respect to syntactic embeddability and the licencing of deictic expressions and considers various analytical options to capture these differences.

AbstractBackgroundThe published experience concerning autologous peripheral blood stem cell collection in children is very limited.MethodsThe data of pediatric patients who underwent autologous stem cell mobilization and apheresis between January 2011 and April 2020 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsWe studied retrospectively 64 mobilization and apheresis procedures in 48 pediatric patients (34 males, 14 females), mean age of 7.31 ± 5.38 (range, 1.5–19.7) years, the underlying disease was mostly neuroblastoma (NBL). The body weight of 21 patients (43.75%) was 15 kg or less. The targeted autologous peripheral stem cell apheresis (APSCA) was successfully achieved in 98% of patients. Neuroblastoma patients were younger than the rest of the patients and underwent apheresis after receiving fewer chemotherapy cycles than others and all of them mobilized within the first session successfully. Plerixafor was added to mobilization in nine heavily pretreated patients (18.7%), median two doses (range, 1–4 doses). 11 patients (22.9%) underwent radiotherapy (RT) before mobilization with doses of median 24 Gy (range, 10.8–54.0 Gy). Patients with RT were older at the time of apheresis and had received more chemotherapy courses than patients without RT. As a result, patients with a history of RT had significantly lower peripheral CD34+ cells and CD34+ yields than those without RT. In 17 patients (35.4%), 22 different complications were noted. The most common complications were catheter‐related infections (n:10, 20.8%), followed by catheter‐related thrombosis in eight patients (16.7%).ConclusionsPatients who had far less therapy before apheresis were more likely to mobilize successfully. Our study provides a detailed practice approach including complications during APSCA aiming to increase the success rates of apheresis in transplantation centers.

AbstractThe review encapsulates the comprehensive exploration of RNA interference technology's application in shrimp aquaculture, covering molecular intricacies, production methods, and practical applications. The emphasis is on exploring the stability and delivery of gene‐specific double‐stranded RNA, particularly through nanoencapsulation. This is because the susceptibility of dsRNA to degradation and limited cellular penetration, emphasising the need for effective delivery mechanisms. The review presents an in‐depth exploration of nanoparticles for the encapsulation and delivery of dsRNA, including virus‐like particles (VLPs), and non‐viral based nanoparticles such as liposomes, chitosan, and beta‐glucan. VLPs, derived from non‐infectious shrimp virus structures, exhibit biocompatibility and natural functionality, making them suitable carriers for dsRNA. The application of chitosan and its derivatives are explored for their efficacy in reducing viral infections in shrimp. Beta‐glucan particles are examined for their immunostimulant properties in shrimp aquaculture. The text emphasises the use of yeast‐based glucan particles for encapsulating dsRNA, showcasing their potential in preventing viral diseases in shrimp. The review introduces cautionary considerations for nanoparticle formulation, highlighting factors such as pH, organic solvents, metal ions, and environmental ribonuclease that can impact dsRNA stability during synthesis. In conclusion, the text discusses the potential economic worthiness and environmental risk assessment of dsRNA technology in shrimp aquaculture. While acknowledging successful applications in other environments, it underscores the need for regulatory approval and risk assessment for dsRNA‐based products in the aquaculture industry. The evaluation of dsRNA in real‐world shrimp farms is deemed necessary for commercial utilisation, taking into account income, expenses, safety, and environmental considerations.
Asymptotic properties of resampling‐based processes for the average treatment effect in observational studies with competing risks
Authors: Rühl Jasmin , Friedrich Sarah 
Published: April 2024

AbstractIn observational studies with time‐to‐event outcomes, the g‐formula can be used to estimate a treatment effect in the presence of confounding factors. However, the asymptotic distribution of the corresponding stochastic process is complicated and thus not suitable for deriving confidence intervals or time‐simultaneous confidence bands for the average treatment effect. A common remedy are resampling‐based approximations, with Efron's nonparametric bootstrap being the standard tool in practice. We investigate the large sample properties of three different resampling approaches and prove their asymptotic validity in a setting with time‐to‐event data subject to competing risks. The usage of these approaches is demonstrated by an analysis of the effect of physical activity on the risk of knee replacement among patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis.

Published: April 2024

Objective: To investigate whether transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) optimizes the performance of a wheelchair basketball player on precision tasks. Methods: A right-handed wheelchair basketball player (1.5 points functional class) with myelomeningocele (low lumbar level) participated in this case study. The tDCS neuromodulation protocol was applied throughout 10 interventions of 20 minutes with a current intensity of 2 mA, simultaneously with sport-specific training, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Anodic stimulation was performed on the right cerebellar hemisphere (CB2) and cathodic stimulation in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. A control participant was submitted to a sham-tDCS stimulation protocol for the same period. Functional performance was assessed before the intervention and after the 5th and 10th interventions using “pass accuracy,” “free-throw shooting,” and “spot shot” tests. Outcome measures were compared using percentage differences between preintervention, intermediate intervention, and postintervention values. Results: There was a gradual increase in the athlete’s total and average scores in all tests performed, with an overall improvement of 78% between the baseline and final assessments, while the control participant had an overall improvement of 6.5%. Conclusion: The tDCS protocol was effective in improving performance in precision activities in a wheelchair basketball player.

ABSTRACT

The efficacy of prebiotics and probiotics (synbiotics when combined) to improve symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has shown considerable inter-study variation, likely due to the complex, heterogeneous nature of the disorder and its associated behavioral, developmental, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Here, we present a precision synbiotic supplementation study in 296 children and adults diagnosed with ASD versus 123 age-matched neurotypical controls. One hundred seventy ASD participants completed the study. Baseline and post-synbiotic assessment of ASD and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and deep metagenomic sequencing were performed. Within the ASD cohort, there were significant differences in microbes between subpopulations based on the social responsiveness scale (SRS2) survey (
Prevotella
spp.
, Bacteroides, Fusicatenibacter
, and others) and gluten and dairy-free diets (
Bifidobacterium
spp.,
Lactococcus, Streptococcus
spp., and others). At the baseline, the ASD cohort maintained a lower taxonomic alpha diversity and significant differences in taxonomic composition, metabolic pathways, and gene families, with a greater proportion of potential pathogens, including
Shigella, Klebsiella,
and
Clostridium,
and lower proportions of beneficial microbes, including
Faecalibacterium
compared to controls. Following the 3-month synbiotic supplementation, the ASD cohort showed increased taxonomic alpha diversity, shifts in taxonomy and metabolic pathway potential, and improvements in some ASD-related symptoms, including a significant reduction in GI discomfort and overall improved language, comprehension, cognition, thinking, and speech. However, the open-label study design may include some placebo effects. In summary, we found that precision synbiotics modulated the gut microbiome and could be used as supplementation to improve gastrointestinal and ASD-related symptoms.

IMPORTANCE
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is prevalent in 1 out of 36 children in the United States and contributes to health, financial, and psychological burdens. Attempts to identify a gut microbiome signature of ASD have produced varied results. The limited pre-clinical and clinical population sizes have hampered the success of these trials. To understand the microbiome associated with ASD, we employed whole metagenomic shotgun sequencing to classify microbial composition and genetic functional potential. Despite being one of the most extensive ASD post-synbiotic assessment studies, the results highlight the complexity of performing such a case–control supplementation study in this population and the potential for a future therapeutic approach in ASD.

ObjectivesWe sought to determine the relationship between the degree of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) impairment and the frequency and type of bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).DesignThis was an observational retrospective cohort analysis. Patients who underwent PCI from 2009 to 2017 were identified from our institutional National Cardiovascular Disease Registry (NCDR) CathPCI database. Patients were stratified by pre-PCI LVEF: preserved (≥50%), mildly reduced (41%–49%) and reduced (≤40%) LVEF.Primary outcome measuresThe outcome was major bleeding, defined by NCDR criteria. Events were classified based on bleeding aetiology and analysed by multivariable logistic regression.ResultsAmong 13 537 PCIs, there were 817 bleeding events (6%). The rate of bleeding due to any cause, blood transfusion, gastrointestinal bleeding and coronary artery perforation or tamponade each increased in a stepwise fashion comparing preserved, mildly reduced and reduced LVEF reduction (p<0.05 for all comparisons). However, there were no differences in bleeding due to asymptomatic drops in haemoglobin, access site haematoma or retroperitoneal bleeding. After multivariable adjustment, mildly reduced and reduced LVEF remained independent predictors of bleeding events (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.74, p<0.05 and OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.45 to 2.06, p<0.0001).ConclusionsThe degree of LV dysfunction is an independent predictor of post-PCI major bleeding events. Patients with mildly reduced or reduced LVEF are at greatest risk of post-PCI bleeding, driven by an increased need for blood transfusion, major GI bleeding events and coronary artery perforation or tamponade. Pre-PCI LV dysfunction does not predict asymptomatic declines in haemoglobin, access site haematoma or retroperitoneal bleeding.
Navigating the U.S.–China Decoupling: Malaysia's Response to the U.S.–China Trade War
Authors: Kam Andrew Jia-Yi 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This paper examines the impact of the current U.S.–China trade war on Malaysia. Malaysia's neutral stance leaves possibilities open for trade and investments from both sides. Our survey shows that the negative impacts have been minimal so far. The country seeks to capitalize on the trade war by promoting local industries that are substitutable to those from the United States and China. Efforts to improve competitiveness by improving physical and digital infrastructure, facilitating small- and medium-sized enterprises to export, and promoting potential domestic suppliers are being made to ensure favorable conditions to receive foreign direct investment relocating from China or the United States. Malaysia is also cooperating with its regional partners to further mitigate the effects of the trade war. Malaysia may, however, be its own greatest enemy in capitalizing from the trade war because the decline in human capital is making it difficult to harness the benefits from upcoming deglobalization headwinds.
The Determining Role of Covariances in Large Networks of Stochastic Neurons
Authors: Painchaud Vincent , Desrosiers Patrick , Doyon Nicolas 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Biological neural networks are notoriously hard to model due to their stochastic behavior and high dimensionality. We tackle this problem by constructing a dynamical model of both the expectations and covariances of the fractions of active and refractory neurons in the network’s populations. We do so by describing the evolution of the states of individual neurons with a continuous-time Markov chain, from which we formally derive a low-dimensional dynamical system. This is done by solving a moment closure problem in a way that is compatible with the nonlinearity and boundedness of the activation function. Our dynamical system captures the behavior of the high-dimensional stochastic model even in cases where the mean-field approximation fails to do so. Taking into account the second-order moments modifies the solutions that would be obtained with the mean-field approximation and can lead to the appearance or disappearance of fixed points and limit cycles. We moreover perform numerical experiments where the mean-field approximation leads to periodically oscillating solutions, while the solutions of the second-order model can be interpreted as an average taken over many realizations of the stochastic model. Altogether, our results highlight the importance of including higher moments when studying stochastic networks and deepen our understanding of correlated neuronal activity.
Idealism and Edwards the Preacher
Authors: Njoto Ricky F. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Jonathan Edwards’s idealism did not seem to leave any place for material things or acts beyond mere ideas and perceptions. So, why was he so serious and faithful in his role as a preacher if the act of preaching in the material world did not have any existence beyond perception? This essay suggests that the preaching of the Word had a significant place in Edwards’s idealism because of his reconception of the theologies of sin, faith, and preaching in new metaphysical and relational terms that allowed him to place such theologies in his idealism.
