Pulsed radiofrequency on peripheral nerve as a rehabilitation aid
Authors: Bongiorno Giulia , Biancuzzi Helena , Dal Mas Francesca , Bednarova Rym , Vittori Alessandro , Miceli Luca 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe work described below explores the field of the effects of pulsed radiofrequency for pain relief purposes. While the effects of this technique on pain modulation (A-delta and C fibers) are relatively well-known, little has been written yet about the potential of pulsed radiofrequency interactions with other fibers. The proposed algorithm, specifically elaborated, investigates the effect of this technique on neuromuscular fatigue, through a surface electromyographic study of the femoral nerve of a patient with residual pain after knee arthroplasty surgery, before and after the treatment. This work yields a preliminary result that is encouraging for subsequent large-scale studies.
Carrying Trans Forward
Authors: Blackston Dylan McCarthy 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
What utility does trans hold and carry forward at this politically and ecologically volatile moment, when increasingly prevalent legal restrictions are preventing trans people from accessing gender affirming and reproductive health care and seeking to disallow our presence in public life altogether? Taking an autoethnographic approach to exploring trans life and scholarship across generations, this essay poses trans*plantation as a framework for navigating complex questions about how life comes to be defined and whose lives come to hold value or not over time.
Transcestral Gathering
Authors: tong isola 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This article meditates on the urgency and importance of gathering within the framework of trans lineages and place-making. The article focuses on advocating self-determined pathways for Filipinos in California by examining the effects of migration on their sense of belonging. It highlights the need for self-directed decolonial strategies and the exploration of trans lineages as a means of finding wholeness and connection in the face of intersecting challenges of violence against trans people of color and the environment. Drawing inspiration from the historical role of babaylans (Indigenous spiritual leaders) in resisting colonial power in the Philippines, the article proposes the concept of transcestral gathering as a form of resistance through community-based cultural production and trans* sociality.
The Sexological Floorplan
Authors: Lubin Joan , Vaccaro Jeanne 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This essay animates the concept-metaphor of the sexological floorplan across sites of sexological self-reflection in its incipient institutional form to propose a model of trans study. We begin by speculating on the relationship between the history of sexological incorporation and the hesitant institutionality of trans study. In the context of a racially segregated postwar American culture reorganizing its senses of normative gender and moral sexual practice, the sexological project to limn the category “trans” became a site of interaction between multiple vectors of social experience and varieties of scientific classification. This essay considers four women differently subjected to sexological scrutiny on the basis of sex, and tracks how that sexual basis articulates with gender, race, and sexuality to map the floorplan of institutionalizing sexual knowledge. We consider four women whose circulation through and labor within the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research, Inc., maps the terrain of sexology's bids for credibility. Their respective roles in the business of sexology (the public face of gender transformation, a working housewife, a sympathetic social scientist, a long-suffering librarian) and respective racial, gender, and sexual identities made each differently disposed to and differently subjected to sexological ways of looking. By attending to each of these figures in turn, a view onto the sexological floorplan emerges with social and historical density, overlaid with the labors of self-determination inside the architectures of scientific capture.
Games Have Always Been Trans
Authors: Chow Jeremy 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This essay explores the critical relationships among trans studies, game studies, and the environmental humanities to evaluate trans ecological media. I center two distinct gaming sites: a board game, Wingspan, and a social media phenomenon, Bowsette, based on Nintendo's video game, Super Mario Bros. These media tacitly incorporate tranimality into their ludic matrices. Within Wingspan, trans reproduction (male birds laying eggs) becomes the skeleton key to success. As a trans femme icon, Bowsette emerges through fan art and social media to imagine a means for Mario's nemesis, Bowser, to transition into a romantic partner as a result of a mushroom super crown. The opportunity to play with trans birds, turtles, and fungi on digital and analog platforms makes evident that games have always been trans.
Fbrsl1 is required for heart development in Xenopus laevis and de novo variants in FBRSL1 can cause human heart defects
Authors: Berger Hanna , Gerstner Sarah , Horstmann Marc-Frederik , Pauli Silke , Borchers Annette 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
De novo truncating variants in fibrosin-like 1 (FBRSL1), a member of the AUTS2 gene family, cause a disability syndrome, including organ malformations such as heart defects. Here, we use Xenopus laevis to investigate whether Fbrsl1 plays a role in heart development. Xenopus laevis fbrsl1 is expressed in tissues relevant for heart development, and morpholino-mediated knockdown of Fbrsl1 results in severely hypoplastic hearts. Our data suggest that Fbrsl1 is required for the development of the first heart field, which contributes to the ventricle and the atria, but not for the second heart field, which gives rise to the outflow tract. The morphant heart phenotype could be rescued using a human N-terminal FBRSL1 isoform that contains an alternative exon, but lacks the AUTS2 domain. N-terminal isoforms carrying patient variants failed to rescue. Interestingly, a long human FBRSL1 isoform, harboring the AUTS2 domain, also did not rescue the morphant heart defects. Thus, our data suggest that different FBRSL1 isoforms may have distinct functions and that only the short N-terminal isoform, appears to be critical for heart development.

ABSTRACT
Mitogen-activated protein 3 kinase 1 (MAP3K1) has a plethora of cell type-specific functions not yet fully understood. Herein, we describe a role for MAP3K1 in female reproductive tract (FRT) development. MAP3K1 kinase domain-deficient female mice exhibited an imperforate vagina, labor failure and infertility. These defects corresponded with shunted Müllerian ducts (MDs), the embryonic precursors of FRT, that manifested as a contorted caudal vagina and abrogated vaginal–urogenital sinus fusion in neonates. The MAP3K1 kinase domain is required for optimal activation of the Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and cell polarity in the MD epithelium, and for upregulation of WNT signaling in the mesenchyme surrounding the caudal MD. The MAP3K1-deficient epithelial cells and MD epithelium had reduced expression of WNT7B ligands. Correspondingly, conditioned media derived from MAP3K1-competent, but not -deficient, epithelial cells activated a TCF/Lef-luciferase reporter in fibroblasts. These observations indicate that MAP3K1 regulates MD caudal elongation and FRT development, in part through the induction of paracrine factors in the epithelium that trans-activate WNT signaling in the mesenchyme.
Decisions Under Uncertainty as Bayesian Inference on Choice Options
Authors: Vieider Ferdinand M. 
Published: March 2024

Standard models of decision making under risk and uncertainty are deterministic. Inconsistencies in choices are accommodated by separate error models. The combination of decision model and error model, however, is arbitrary. Here, I derive a model of decision making under uncertainty in which choice options are mentally encoded by noisy signals, which are optimally decoded by Bayesian combination with preexisting information. The model predicts diminishing sensitivity toward both likelihoods and rewards, thus providing cognitive microfoundations for the patterns documented in the prospect theory literature. The model is, however, inherently stochastic, so that choices and noise are determined by the same underlying parameters. This results in several novel predictions, which I test on one existing data set and in two new experiments. This paper was accepted by Manel Baucells, behavioral economics and decision analysis.

An Iterative Sample Scenario Approach for the Dynamic Dispatch Waves Problem
Authors: Lan Leon , van Doorn Jasper M. H. , Wouda Niels A. , Rijal Arpan , Bhulai Sandjai 
Published: March 2024

A challenge in same-day delivery operations is that delivery requests are typically not known beforehand, but are instead revealed dynamically during the day. This uncertainty introduces a trade-off between dispatching vehicles to serve requests as soon as they are revealed to ensure timely delivery and delaying the dispatching decision to consolidate routing decisions with future, currently unknown requests. In this paper, we study the dynamic dispatch waves problem, a same-day delivery problem in which vehicles are dispatched at fixed decision moments. At each decision moment, the system operator must decide which of the known requests to dispatch and how to route these dispatched requests. The operator’s goal is to minimize the total routing cost while ensuring that all requests are served on time. We propose iterative conditional dispatch (ICD), an iterative solution construction procedure based on a sample scenario approach. ICD iteratively solves sample scenarios to classify requests to be dispatched, postponed, or undecided. The set of undecided requests shrinks in each iteration until a final dispatching decision is made in the last iteration. We develop two variants of ICD: one variant based on thresholds, and another variant based on similarity. A significant strength of ICD is that it is conceptually simple and easy to implement. This simplicity does not harm performance: through rigorous numerical experiments, we show that both variants efficiently navigate the large state and action spaces of the dynamic dispatch waves problem and quickly converge to a high-quality solution. Finally, we demonstrate that the threshold-based ICD variant achieves excellent results on instances from the EURO Meets NeurIPS 2022 Vehicle Routing Competition, nearly matching the performance of the winning machine learning–based strategy.

Social support in older adults: Validation and norm values of a brief form of the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (F-SozU K-6)
Authors: Reinwarth Anna C. , Petersen Julia , Beutel Manfred E. , Hautzinger Martin , Brähler Elmar 
Published: March 2024

Background
Social relations are crucial for maintaining physical and mental health across the life span. As social roles, networks and needs change with age a valid assessment of social support in older adults and age-specific norms are necessary. The present work aims to [1) assess the level of social support in individuals > 60 years of the general German population, [2) evaluate the brief six-item form of the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (F-SozU K-6) in this age group and to [3) provide age-specific norm values.

Methods
We analyze data of N = 706 people representative for the German population collected in 2021. To assess social support, we used the F-SozU K-6. We tested for selectivity, item difficulty, internal consistency, construct and factor validity, as well as factorial invariance. Additionally, we assessed correlations and associations with depression, loneliness, and sociodemographic factors. Furthermore, we reported norm values for respondents > 60 years.

Results
Participants > 60 years reported a mean level of 23.97 (SD = 4.82) of social support. Results of the CFA confirmed a very good model fit. Measurement invariance across sex and age was shown. Associations with ADS and LS-S supported construct validity. Multiple regression analysis showed that female sex, increasing age, having a partner, and a higher equivalized household income were associated with higher levels of social support.

Conclusion
The F-SozU K-6 is a reliable and economical tool to assess perceived social support in older adults. Norm values for individual > 60 years are provided.

Published: March 2024

Este artigo apresenta e discute como a perspectiva da Matemática para o Ensino embasa pesquisas a partir da Investigação de Conceito (Concept Study), metodologia de pesquisa e formação, proposta por Brent Davis e seus colaboradores. Em uma linha qualitativa, as pesquisas apresentadas foram desenvolvidas pelo Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação Matemática do Espírito Santo (Gepem-ES) vinculadas ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemática (Educimat) do Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo (Ifes). Ocorreram em contextos de formação inicial ou continuada de professores, no período de 2016 a 2021, por meio da investigação dos conceitos de equação diofantina linear, padrões e generalizações, proporcionalidade e área, para o ensino. Com o intuito de possibilitar aos participantes destas formações a compreensão do seu papel no próprio processo de ensino e aprendizagem e colaborar em mudanças na prática docente, foram valorizados os saberes que emergem da prática docente e das experiências do futuro professor. Desse modo, analisamos quatro relatórios de dissertações, discutidas coletivamente com os autores das pesquisas. Os dados analisados indicam que as formações desenvolvidas, por meio da Investigação de Conceito, contribuíram para um movimento de (re)significação[1]/ampliação dos conceitos matemáticos abordados, implicando na reestruturação de saberes dos participantes para o ensino.

[1] A palavra ressignificação tem como primitiva a palavra signo, a que se juntam alguns afixos. Interessa aqui apenas destacar sua junção com o prefixo re. De origem latina, pode acrescentar aos termos com os quais formam novas palavras com três sentidos: repetição, reforço e recuo, este último indicando algo como “voltar ao ponto de partida”. A opção por grafar entre parênteses o prefixo re- escrevendo (re)significação se relaciona ao fato de querermos manter presentes não apenas esse novo sentido, mas também os provenientes dos elementos formadores da palavra na sua originalidade: o de significação e os agregados pelo prefixo re-, garantindo uma visão de que a busca por significações novas se dá continuamente na Educação Matemática na perspectiva da Matemática para o Ensino.
Childfree In The Workplace: Demographics, Stigmas, And Implications
Authors: Bendtsen Meghan , Buchko Aaron A. , Buchko Kathleen J. 
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this paper is to explore one particular phenomenon that can be associated with the millennial generation, and that is the increasing number of childfree employees in the workplace. We examine the demographic data on childlessness in the workplace and the literature on issues and perceptions of childlessness and childfree individuals. Research has demonstrated various social stigmas associated with childfree; among these are perceptions that the childfree are more immature, selfish, autonomous, and less desirable to be around. The social stigma attached to the choice to remain childfree has certainly impacted the extent to which firms have sought to address these issues, and researchers have also tended to avoid conducting significant empirical and qualitative work in this domain. There is a very real need for high quality research efforts focused on understanding the issues raised by childfree workers in the structure of contemporary organizations, along with work needed to identify innovative ways organizations can adapt to the new reality of childfree employees. For managers, there is a clear need to think carefully about the implications of childfree workers in the workplace. Managers should be encouraged to engage in honest discussions with employees about disparities in familial status, and to work with teams to encourage greater acceptance of the diversity that comes from these differences. The trend toward childfree individuals in the workplace is likely to continue, with the result that managers will need to address the issues raised in this analysis.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
With the deployment of global navigation systems such as GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and BeiDou, and the construction of the global observation network, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data have greatly expanded. Traditional relational databases and file systems can no longer efficiently store and process GNSS data. In addition, multidimensional, in-depth visual analysis methods for such data are lacking. In this paper, we provide a solution and implement a GNSS data visualization system based on MapV and cesium running on the Hadoop platform, which can effectively solve the problems of the lack of storage and computing resources for these massive multisource heterogeneous data. The proposed system provides multidimensional presentations to show how the space and ground segments of the entire system are organized by analyzing GNSS data.
Khovanov homology and exotic surfaces in the 4-ball
Authors: Hayden Kyle , Sundberg Isaac 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We show that the cobordism maps on Khovanov homology can distinguish smooth surfaces in the 4-ball that are exotically knotted (i.e., isotopic through ambient homeomorphisms but not ambient diffeomorphisms).
We develop new techniques for distinguishing cobordism maps on Khovanov homology, drawing on knot symmetries and braid factorizations.
We also show that Plamenevskaya’s transverse invariant in Khovanov homology is preserved by maps induced by positive ascending cobordisms.
Some good news for the school: the levelling effect of the EFL class in FL vocabulary production and FL categorization of autochthonous learners and heritage speaker learners
Authors: Agustín-Llach María-del-Pilar 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Several researchers have drawn attention to the educational challenge posed by multilingual classes where students from different linguistic backgrounds coexist. Current institutional initiatives in Europe, but also elsewhere, advocate for the maintenance and promotion of multilingual and multicultural diversity within both monolingual and multilingual classrooms. In this study located in Spain, we were interested in exploring the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) vocabulary production and FL categorization of a group of heritage bilinguals in comparison with their mainstream monolingual peers. Results from a categorization task revealed that on most measures taken, heritage bilinguals, despite being a more heterogenous group, performed similarly in terms of vocabulary production in general, and as compared against the framework of a standard pre-B1 Cambridge vocabulary list, FL categorization, and typicality structures. The levelling effect of the EFL class is claimed to be accountable for this lack of differences. Furthermore, we dare speculate the generalization of CLIL could play in favour of more inclusive classes where immigrant learners are not left behind and can realise their potential to the fullest.
The wall effect in a plane counterflow channel
Authors: Galantucci Luca , Sciacca Michele 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we study the influence of the boundary conditions of the velocity fields in superfluid helium counterflow experiments. To make progress, we perform numerical simulations where we allow a slip velocity of the viscous component at the walls, and observe how this impacts on velocity fields and density profiles of distribution of quantized vortices. We conclude that the presence of a slip velocity at the walls generates a more homogeneous vortex distribution throughout the channel.
CFD modelling of flashing flows for nuclear safety analysis: possibilities and challenges
Authors: Liao Yixiang 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Because of its relevance for the safety analysis of pressurized water reactors (PWR), many research activities on flashing flows in pipes and nozzles arose from the mid of last century. Most of them have been focused on the critical mass flow rate and transient pressure or temperature fluctuations by means of experiments and system codes. Since the beginning of this century, owing to the increase in computer speed and capacity, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is being used more and more in the investigation of flashing flows, which has the advantage of providing three-dimensional insights in the internal flow structure as well as its evolution. This work presents an overview of relevant flashing scenarios in the nuclear safety analysis, and focuses on the discussion about possibilities and challenges of using CFD modelling. It is shown that a two-fluid model with the thermal phase-change model is superior to a mixture model with pressure phase-change, relaxation and equilibrium models, respectively, in terms of interfacial mass transfer, however, efforts are still required to improve the interphase heat-transfer model. Furthermore, since flashing is accompanied with high void fraction and broad bubble size ranges, a poly-disperse two-fluid model is recommended, but the effect of phase change on bubble coalescence and breakup needs further research. In addition, during flashing the flow pattern may change from single phase to bubbly flow, churn flow, annular flow, and even mist flow. The rapid change of interfacial topology as well as its influence on the applicability of closure models remains a challenge.
