Robots, Dogs, and Drags: The Politics of Reading and Being Read
Authors: Sundström Sjödin Elin , Rahm Lina 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Employing a mixed postqualitative methods approach, this article examines the concept of reading imaginaries in public library events in three cases where children read with robots, dogs, and drag performers. Using the critical analytical tools of sociotechnical imaginaries and matters of care, we regard our cases as containers for resolving societal problems, and we explore how they contain societal expectations and imaginaries about reading and literacy in postdigital ecologies. The care practices observed in our case studies transcend digital technologies, encompassing broader and politically charged issues and the importance of situating the hype and fear surrounding emerging technologies, such as AI, within a more comprehensive and far-reaching framework. As concerns over privacy, data flows, and security increasingly extend to analog technologies such as books, curriculum content, and the embodiment of educators, mediated public discourse continues to play a significant role in shaping these dynamics. An example of this is how drag reading events become hot-button issues in a politicised and polarised school debate, while dogs and robots do not.

Abstract

Introduction
Improving the sustainability of public health interventions is a priority for policymakers and program implementers. However, existing theories, models, and frameworks focus on describing constructs, processes, and measures of sustainability. Models to guide the improvement of sustainability of public health interventions are currently lacking.

Objective
To develop an evidence-based model that can systematically guide the improvement of the sustainability of public health interventions.

Methods
We used a systematic and multi-stage approach to iteratively develop the model. A narrative review of the sustainability literature identified key constructs relevant to the improvement mechanisms of sustainability. Identified constructs were then developed into stages and activities. We applied the resulting model to guide development of improvement strategies in four public health interventions in Southeast Asia, verifying the applicability of the model to real-life contexts.

Findings
Evidence from 8 systematic reviews; 60 theories, models, and frameworks of sustainability; and 24 measures of sustainability, were used to develop the model. Expert review and real-world evaluation further refined the model. The resulting INNOVATE model has eight stages: Identify the mechanisms; Narrate determinants; Navigate strategies; Optimize the acquisition of resources; Validate strategies; Apply strategies; Tailor evaluation of the strategies; and Enhance the applied strategies and their implementation. Within each stage, there are five activities (IDEAL): Inform with quality evidence; Dedicate efforts to nurture local leaders/champions; Engage relevant stakeholders; Adapt to the local context; and Leverage tacit and local knowledge. The initial model was used to identify practical strategies for improving the sustainability of four public health interventions in Southeast Asia.

Conclusion
By applying the five activities within each of the eight stages, the INNOVATE model can systematically guide the improvement of the sustainability of public health interventions.
Hydrodynamic analysis of floating VLFS using multi-domain boundary element method
Authors: Hemanth S. , Karmakar D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The present study emphasizes the investigation of rigid and flexible Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS) by analyzing the reflection and transmission coefficients, plate deflections and wave force on the floating structure. The study involves analyzing the hydrodynamic characteristics of a porous and rigid VLFS, and hydroelastic analysis of flexible VLFS. The analysis is performed using the coupled Multi-Domain Boundary Element Method (MDBEM) and Finite Difference Method (FDM) at finite water depth. The flexible VLFS is modelled based on the Euler–Bernoulli thin plate theory and the study is performed using small amplitude wave theory. The study evaluates the hydroelastic behaviour in terms of structural deflection and hydrodynamic parameters by varying the structural porosity. The reflection and transmission coefficients are analyzed to show the extent of wave propagation on the lee side and the seaside of the structure. The wave force coefficients obtained signify the importance of the structure's orientation for the oncoming waves. The numerical results are validated with the results available in the literature. The analysis is performed for different structural and material properties to obtain the minimal hydroelastic and hydrodynamic response to assess the optimum design criteria and suitability of the type of VLFS, thereby maintaining the stability of the structure for safer operations.

Abstract
Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) commonly known as Indian jujube, is an underutilized seasonal fruit rich in nutrients and consumed directly. A punching type mechanism was developed to separate the seed and pulp of ber fruit, based on the analysis of its physical (length, width, thickness measured by vernier caliper) and mechanical properties (cutting and extruding forces measured by texture analyzer). The Pearson correlation coefficient showed that the physical parameters (width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, arithmetic mean diameter) were strongly correlated with the sphericity and surface area of the ber fruits and seeds, whereas length was not significantly correlated. The developed punching type de-seeding mechanism consists of a fruit resting seat, punching rod, guider, crank and lever mechanism, supporting stand, handle, and base. The performance of the developed de-seeder was analyzed, showing fruit pulp wastage from 1.89% to 8.62% and efficiency from 91.38% to 98.11%. The Pearson correlation coefficient indicated that the performance parameters (pulp wastage and efficiency) of de-seeder are negatively correlated. The capacity of the developed de-seeder varies from 15 – 17 kg/ h and 220 – 280 fruits/ h. The developed de-seeder reduces the labour requirement by 67%. In economic evaluation, the de-seeder has reduced the cost of operation (₹ h−1) by 73% and increase the net benefit (₹ year−1) by 6960 over manual operation. Its high efficiency and less pulp wastage make the machine preferable for progressive farmers.

Abstract
Sexual and gender–based violence (SGBV) is a multifaceted, endemic, and nefarious phenomenon that remains poorly measured and understood, despite greater global awareness of the issue. While efforts to improve data collection methods have increased–including the implementation of the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) in some countries–the lack of reliable SGBV data remains a significant challenge to developing targeted policy interventions and advocacy initiatives. Using a recent mixed–methods research project conducted by the authors in Sierra Leone as a case study, this paper discusses the current status of SGBV data, challenges faced, and potential research a pproaches.
Anticipating climate change-related mobility in Karachi and Ho Chi Minh City: lessons from a hybrid foresight approach
Authors: Martin Aaron , Kistemaker Boukje , Allen Beth , Jones Bryan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Climate change exacerbates existing risks and vulnerabilities for people globally, and migration is a longstanding adaptation response to climate risk. The mechanisms through which climate change shapes human mobility are complex, however, and gaps in data and knowledge persist. In response to these gaps, the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Predictive Analytics, Human Mobility, and Urbanization Project employed a hybrid approach that combined predictive analytics with participatory foresight to explore climate change-related mobility in Pakistan and Viet Nam from 2020 to 2050. Focusing on Karachi and Ho Chi Minh City, the project estimated temporal and spatial mobility patterns under different climate change scenarios and evaluated the impact of such in-migration across key social, political, economic, and environmental domains. Findings indicate that net migration into these cities could significantly increase under extreme climate scenarios, highlighting both the complex spatial patterns of population change and the potential for anticipatory policies to mitigate these impacts. While extensive research exists on foresight methods and theory, process reflections are underrepresented. The innovative approach employed within this project offers valuable insights on foresight exercise design choices and their implications for effective stakeholder engagement, as well as the applicability and transferability of insights in support of policymaking. Beyond substantive findings, this paper offers a critical reflection on the methodological alignment of data-driven and participatory foresight with the aim of anticipatory policy ideation, seeking to contribute to the enhanced effectiveness of foresight practices.
Hyperbolic Metric Spaces and Stochastic Embeddings
Authors: Gartland Chris 
Published: February 2025

AbstractStochastic embeddings of finite metric spaces into graph-theoretic trees have proven to be a vital tool for constructing approximation algorithms in theoretical computer science. In the present work, we build out some of the basic theory of stochastic embeddings in the infinite setting with an aim toward applications to Lipschitz free space theory. We prove that proper metric spaces stochastically embedding into
$\mathbb {R}$
-trees have Lipschitz free spaces isomorphic to
$L^1$
-spaces. We then undergo a systematic study of stochastic embeddability of Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces into
$\mathbb {R}$
-trees by way of stochastic embeddability of their boundaries into ultrametric spaces. The following are obtained as our main results: (1) every snowflake of a compact, finite Nagata-dimensional metric space stochastically embeds into an ultrametric space and has Lipschitz free space isomorphic to
$\ell ^1$
, (2) the Lipschitz free space over hyperbolic n-space is isomorphic to the Lipschitz free space over Euclidean n-space and (3) every infinite, finitely generated hyperbolic group stochastically embeds into an
$\mathbb {R}$
-tree, has Lipschitz free space isomorphic to
$\ell ^1$
, and admits a proper, uniformly Lipschitz affine action on
$\ell ^1$
.
Complements and coregularity of Fano varieties
Authors: Figueroa Fernando , Filipazzi Stefano , Moraga Joaquín , Peng Junyao 
Published: February 2025

AbstractWe study the relation between the coregularity, the index of log Calabi–Yau pairs and the complements of Fano varieties. We show that the index of a log Calabi–Yau pair
$(X,B)$
of coregularity
$1$
is at most
$120\lambda ^2$
, where
$\lambda $
is the Weil index of
$K_X+B$
. This extends a recent result due to Filipazzi, Mauri and Moraga. We prove that a Fano variety of absolute coregularity
$0$
admits either a
$1$
-complement or a
$2$
-complement. In the case of Fano varieties of absolute coregularity
$1$
, we show that they admit an N-complement with N at most 6. Applying the previous results, we prove that a klt singularity of absolute coregularity
$0$
admits either a
$1$
-complement or
$2$
-complement. Furthermore, a klt singularity of absolute coregularity
$1$
admits an N-complement with N at most 6. This extends the classic classification of
$A,D,E$
-type klt surface singularities to arbitrary dimensions. Similar results are proved in the case of coregularity
$2$
. In the course of the proof, we prove a novel canonical bundle formula for pairs with bounded relative coregularity. In the case of coregularity at least
$3$
, we establish analogous statements under the assumption of the index conjecture and the boundedness of B-representations.

28 days later: A prospective daily study on psychological well-being across the menstrual cycle and the effects of hormones and oral contraceptives
Authors: Doornweerd Anne Marieke , Gerritsen Lotte 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
We aimed to study how hormonal status (oral contraceptive [OC] users vs naturally cycling [NC]) affects different dimensions and variability of psychological well-being, and how they relate to sex hormone levels (estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone).

Methods
Twenty-two NC participants and 18 OC users reported daily affective and physical symptoms and collected daily salivary samples across 28 days. Groups were compared using psychological well-being averages (linear mixed models), day-to-day variability (Levene’s test), and network models. Within NC participants, cycle phase effects and time-varying associations between hormones and psychological well-being were assessed using both person-centered mean and change (subtracting mean from daily score) scores.

Results
Lowered variability was found for OC users’ agitation, risk-taking, attractiveness, and energy levels. They showed lower overall ratings of happiness, attractiveness, risk-taking, and energy levels (range R2m = .004: .019) but also reported more relaxation, sexual desire, and better sleep quality (range R2m = .005; .01) compared to the NC group. The impact of sex hormones on psychological well-being varied significantly across cycle phases, with the largest effects for progesterone levels.

Conclusions
Our results confirm that hormonal status is associated with a range of psychological well-being domains beyond mood and sexual desire, including energy levels, feelings of attractiveness, risk taking, and agitation. Lowered variability in OC users versus NC participants fit with ‘emotional blunting’ as a possible mechanism behind OC’s side effects. Our findings that show the menstrual cycle and sex hormones differentially influenced markers of psychological well-being emphasize the need to adequately account for the menstrual cycle.
Efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy in treating repetitive negative thinking, rumination, and worry – a transdiagnostic meta-analysis
Authors: Stenzel Kilian Leander , Keller Joshua , Kirchner Lukas , Rief Winfried , Berg Max 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a transdiagnostic process associated with the onset, maintenance, and risk of relapse of various mental disorders. However, previous research syntheses addressing the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on RNT are limited to specific diagnoses, treatments, or RNT constructs (transdiagnostic RNT, worry, rumination). In the present meta-analysis, we integrate findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CBT on RNT across diagnoses, intervention types, and RNT constructs. We investigate the following questions: What is the overall transdiagnostic efficacy of CBT interventions on all post-treatment RNT outcomes? Which RNT construct is addressed most effectively? Are RNT-specific treatments superior in reducing RNT than less specific approaches? Inclusion criteria were met by 55 studies with a total of 4,970 participants. The overall post-treatment effect of CBT interventions on RNT compared to respective control groups was moderate in favor of CBT (g = −0.67). Treatment efficacy did not differ significantly by RNT construct. RNT-specific interventions (g = −0.99) were significantly more efficacious in reducing RNT than less specific approaches (g = −0.56). Treatment efficacy was not significantly enhanced by individual or in-person settings. Our results advocate a dissemination of RNT-specific treatments in research and practice and a general improvement of CBT treatments by focusing on relevant transdiagnostic processes such as RNT.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Patent ductal arteriosus stenting is an alternative procedure in patients with pulmonary-ductal-dependent circulation. Stent embolization is one of the major acute complications of ductal stenting procedure. We describe the case of a stent embolization into the abdominal aorta during the deployment of ductal stent in a premature low-weight infant (1.850 kg), affected by critical pulmonary stenosis and duct-dependent pulmonary circulation. The stent was successfully retrieved through a 4F Flexor catheter without vascular complication by using a new approach.

Maize Yield Changes Under Sulfate Aerosol Climate Intervention Using Three Global Gridded Crop Models

Published: February 2025

AbstractAs the severity of climate change and its associated impacts continue to worsen, schemes for artificially cooling surface temperatures via planetary albedo modification are being studied. The method with the most attention in the literature is stratospheric sulfate aerosol intervention (SAI). Placing reflective aerosols in the stratosphere would have profound impacts on the entire Earth system, with potentially far‐reaching societal impacts. How global crop productivity would be affected by such an intervention strategy is still uncertain, and existing evidence is based on theoretical experiments or isolated modeling studies that use crop models missing key processes associated with SAI that affect plant growth, development, and ultimately yield. Here, we utilize three global gridded process‐based crop models to better understand the potential impacts of one SAI scenario on global maize productivity. Two of the crop models that simulate diffuse radiation fertilization show similar, yet small increases in global maize productivity from increased diffuse radiation. Three crop models show diverse responses to the same climate perturbation from SAI relative to the reference future climate change scenario. We find that future SAI implementation relative to a climate change scenario benefits global maize productivity ranging between 0% and 11% depending on the crop model. These production increases are attributed to reduced surface temperatures and higher fractions of diffuse radiation. The range across model outcomes highlights the need for more systematic multi‐model ensemble assessments using multiple climate model forcings under different SAI scenarios.
Relative Importance of Mid‐Level and Low‐Level Vortices in Tropical Cyclogenesis Inferred From Experiments on Sensitivity to Radiation
Authors: Teng Yusheng , Tang Xiaodong 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe associated dynamics of mid‐level and low‐level vortices and their relative importance in tropical cyclogenesis (TCG) are less studied and understood to date. The issues are studied using the sensitivity of TCG to radiation as a tool. Three groups of idealized full‐physics ensemble experiments with distinct solar insolation conditions are conducted: the control group with real diurnal radiation, the day‐only, and the night‐only groups for comparison. New findings are that the daytime radiative condition is more favorable for mid‐level vorticity development than the nighttime one. This is because stratiform clouds cover a large area and dominate radiative heating, inducing a greater vertical gradient of diabatic heating at altitudes of 4–6 km through increased evaporation cooling most at about 4 km and decrease of latent heat release above about 6 km. However, the vorticity budgets show that the stronger mid‐level vortex cannot extend downward to enhance the low‐level vortex. Moreover, daytime solar radiation increases the low‐level stability and suppresses convective development at the edge of cold pools, weakening low‐level convergence of advective vorticity flux, and limiting low‐level vorticity enhancement. Therefore, TCG is delayed in day‐only experiments compared to others. These results reveal that the acceleration of TCG by longwave radiation is primarily caused by the enhancement of low‐level convergence of advective vorticity flux, which tends to occur at nighttime without solar insolation. The study suggests that the development of low‐level vortex is more important to TCG relative to mid‐level vortex with radiative effects.
