AbstractThis study investigates the childhood traumas of individuals who experienced parental death in childhood or adolescence in Turkey. Participants (n = 382; 63.1% female and 36.9% male; MAGE=29.41, SD = 9.6) are composed of individuals who lost either or both of their parents before the age of 18. The findings indicated that there is a significant difference between the subdimensions of Childhood Trauma Questionaire and the study variables including gender, marital status, educational status, number of siblings, gender of the deceased parent, the caregiver after the parental death, relationship with the surviving parent and the age at the time of parental death (p < .05). The results further show that individuals who lost their parents before the age of 10, who lost their mothers, and who received care from other relatives instead of parents are exposed to more neglect and abuse. By identifying childhood traumas in individuals and examining related variables, the findings contribute trauma-informed social work practices. Based on the results, it is recommended that school social work programs focus on monitoring the relationship between caregivers and children, as well as enhancing the psychosocial well-being of students. These programs can also serve as a means to raise awareness among professionals and students.

AbstractDeep-sea offshore northwestern Cuba is the less studied zone of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Our study aimed to set an environmental baseline and investigate a potential west-east gradient of sediment properties and nematode diversity along the northwestern Cuba. Sediments were collected by multicorer at nine sites in the insular slope between 974 and 1682 m depth. Sediment texture and composition showed a west-east gradient caused likely by narrowing of shelf width and increasing of downslope transport of terrigenous material. We found clear signatures of heavy metal pollution likely derived from Havana City but also from open-sky mining (Castellanos mining complex) and port dredging operations (Mariel). Nematode assemblages were dominated by the deep-sea genera: Acantholaimus, Metadasynemella, Desmodorella, Cervonema, Daptonema, Halalaimus, and Pselionema. α-diversity was about 20–50 genera and γ-diversity of about 100 genera. The β-diversity was substantial likely because small-scale patchiness of resources and heavy metals stress that increased assemblage variability. Individual weight decreased with depth indicating food-supply limitation in the deep sea; also, heavy metals were negatively correlated with weight suggesting deleterious effects on the growing. Our findings indicate that heavy metal pollution has reached deep-sea sediments and corroborate the long-range effects of anthropogenic activities on deep sea. Taxonomic diversity and biological traits (life strategy and trophic composition) constituted a powerful bioindicator of benthic health and benchmark for future potential disturbances in the region. Northwestern Cuba slope is still an understudied portion of the GoM and more research is needed to fully understand its biodiversity and biogeochemical patterns.
Kontakt, Nähe, Vertrauen: Mobilisierungstechniken und -taktiken im Haustürwahlkampf der SPD zur Landtagswahl 2022 im Saarland
Authors: Jakobs Simon , Minas Marius 
Published: March 2024

ZusammenfassungDer vorliegende Beitrag untersucht den Haustürwahlkampf der SPD zur Landtagswahl 2022 im Saarland. Basierend auf Annahmen des mikrosoziologischen Ansatzes der Wahlforschung geht der Beitrag davon aus, dass Haustürwahlkampf insgesamt eine nicht zu unterschätzende Mobilisierungswirkung hat und stimmenmaximierend wirken kann. Auf Basis von zehn Interviews mit Wahlkämpfer*innen und Spitzenpolitiker*innen werden Strategien und Taktiken, wie beispielsweise die Nutzung datengestützter Tools, die innerhalb des Haustürwahlkampfes genutzt wurden, dargelegt und kritisch diskutiert. Nicht zuletzt folgt eine Potenzialeinschätzung des Haustürwahlkampfes vonseiten der interviewten Expert*innen, die jedoch nur anekdotische Evidenz besitzt. Bemerkenswerterweise schreiben die Interviewpartner*innen dem Haustürwahlkampf jedoch eine essenzielle Rolle für den Wahlausgang zu. Der vermutete Mehrwert des Haustürwahlkampfes als Kampagneninstrument liege im persönlichen Gespräch, mit dem interpersonales Vertrauen aufgebaut werden kann.

To study this system, we have solved the generalized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations for a single-condensate system. Our results demonstrate that the kinematic vortices enter the sample through regions where the superconductivity is depleted, revealing an intriguing and novel behavior of the phase-slip lines in the defect. We found that when a higher $$\varvec{J}$$

is applied and the defect is not centered, the point where the vortex anti-vortex pairs enter the film moves away from the defect and are located in a point tangent to the outer circle of the defect. Besides, our results show a way to control the dynamics of the vortices, critical currents, and points of annihilation or creation of the cinematic vortices by including defects in the sample, important in the design and development of devices applied in industry and engineering.
Utilizing virtual reality before, versus during, the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Guevara Diane , Koco Jen 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAs the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly pushed interior design (ID) instruction online, instructors were challenged to adapt, and students adapted a new method of virtual reality (VR). The VR method before COVID-19 was a Homido V2 VR headset with iPhone viewing 360-degree panorama jpeg, and during COVID-19 a liquid crystal display (LCD) computer monitor viewing 360-degree panorama jpeg. The purpose of this study was, if a statistically significant difference (SSD) in spatial presence was found between the two types of VR, then an argument could be supported to evaluate spatial presence, before VR is implemented into ID curriculum. This study was at one Midwestern United States university with a sample (N = 52) of ID undergraduate students. The results revealed an SSD in the spatial presence in the aforementioned VR types. This SSD was found in two of the three dependent variables: Spatial Presence: Possible Action (SPPA; U = 772, p < 0.001), example survey question feeling you could jump into the action, and Spatial Presence: Self Location (SPSL; U = 789, p < 0.001), example feeling you are in the middle of the action. The third dependent variable, Spatial Situation Model (SSM; U = 1320, p = 0.834) did not reveal an SSD, example imagining the arrangement of the spaces. To support results, the Virtual Reality Spatial Presence Index (VRSPI) applied scored neutral (neither strong, nor weak) for spatial presence in both. This study filled research gaps on VR spatial presence measurement, with implications supporting a measurable advantage in ID students using VR headsets and ID curriculum developers evaluating VR before implementation.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose
To establish a competing-risks model and compare it with traditional survival analysis, aiming to identify more precise prognostic factors for angiosarcoma. The presence of competing risks suggests that prognostic factors derived from the conventional Cox regression model may exhibit bias.

Methods
Patient data pertaining to angiosarcoma cases diagnosed from 2000 to 2019 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Multivariate analysis employed both the Cox regression model and the Fine-Gray model, while univariate analysis utilized the cumulative incidence function and Gray’s test.

Results
A total of 3,905 enrolled patients diagnosed with angiosarcoma were included, out of which 2,781 succumbed to their condition: 1,888 fatalities resulted from angiosarcoma itself, and 893 were attributed to other causes. The Fine-Gray model, through multivariable analysis, identified SEER stage, gender, race, surgical status, chemotherapy status, radiotherapy status, and marital status as independent prognostic factors for angiosarcoma. The Cox regression model, due to the occurrence of competing-risk events, could not accurately estimate the effect values and yielded false-negative outcomes. Clearly, when analyzing clinical survival data with multiple endpoints, the competing-risks model demonstrates superior performance.

Conclusion
This current investigation may enhance clinicians’ comprehension of angiosarcoma and furnish reference data for making clinical decisions.
The effects of a universal income transfer on food insecurity within households
Authors: Sarker Prianka Maria , Daley Angela , Malacarne J.G. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractUsing the public-use files of the Canadian Community Health Survey and a difference-in-differences methodology, we estimate the impact of a universal income transfer (the Universal Child Care Benefit) on food insecurity, separately for adults and children within households. The income transfer reduced the risk of overall food insecurity by 20% at the child level, and the effect was larger in households with lower education or income. The transfer also reduced the likelihood of moderate/severe food insecurity among adults in single-parent families, as well as adults and children in households with secondary education or less. These findings withstand several robustness checks.
A Snapshot of Academic Job Placements in Linguistics in the US and Canada
Authors: Haugen Jason D. , Margaris Amy V. , Calvo Sarah E. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractMost people working in the field of linguistics in the US and Canada have an intuitive sense of who the “major players” are among PhD-granting linguistics departments. Our analysis demonstrates that the frequently-perceived hierarchy of linguistics programs is indeed correct. Drawing on publicly available information from Winter/Spring, 2019 on faculty at all PhD-granting linguistics programs across the US and Canada, we use social network and heat map visualizations to demonstrate the existence of an extraordinarily strong and relatively stable hierarchy of programs whose graduates dominate the linguistics academic job market. A secondary finding is that many of the top programs are characterized by gender imbalances. We argue that the top programs’ tremendous influence on the job market as a whole affords these programs the ability – indeed, the responsibility – to take the lead in effecting positive change in the field's hiring patterns more broadly.
Open or robotic? Radical cystectomies for patients with non-metastatic bladder cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background:
This systematic review and meta-analysis will review randomized control trials for localized bladder cancer, evaluating surgical and pathologic outcomes of ORC versus RARC.

Methods:
Randomized studies evaluating adults with non-metastatic bladder cancer who underwent a radical cystectomy. Randomized trials were selected for final review. Data was extracted and analyzed with Revman 5 software. The primary outcome was complication rates within 90 days. Secondary outcomes included postoperative quality of life, estimated intraoperative blood loss, and other perioperative outcomes. Continuous variables were reported using mean difference with 95% confidence intervals, and dichotomous variables were reported using risk difference with 95% confidence intervals with RARC as the experimental group and ORC as the reference group.

Results:
Of 134 articles screened, six unique randomized studies were selected. For Grade I-II complications, the risk ratio (RR) was 0.92 (95% CI [0.79,1.08], p = 0.33), and for Grade III-V complications, RR 0.93 (95% CI [0.73,1.18], p = 0.59). RARC resulted in decreased blood loss (95% CI [−438.08, −158.44], p < 0.00001) and longer operative time (95% CI [55.23, 133.13], p < 0.00001). Quality of life using the EORTC-QLQ-30 global health score at 3 months post-op appeared to favor RARC with a mean difference of 4.46 points (95% CI [1.78, 7.15], p = 0.001). Pathologic outcomes neither statistically nor clinically favored one modality, as there was no significant difference between mean lymph node yield (p = 0.49), positive lymph nodes (p = 1.00), and positive surgical margins (p = 0.85) between the surgical modalities.

Conclusions:
Although one surgical modality is not overtly superior, the choice may be decided by mitigating individual operative risk factors like intraoperative blood loss, operative time, post-operative quality of life, as well as institutional costs and learning curve among surgeons.
Unraveling the influence of environmental factors on fireweed (Senecio madagascariensis) germination and its management implications
Authors: Hooda Virender Singh , Chauhan Bhagirath Singh 
Published: March 2024

AbstractFireweed (Senecio madagascariensis Poir.) has invaded and colonized numerous habitats in the coastal areas of southeastern Australia and is a major weed in cultivated lands as well as in poorly grassed, neglected, and highly grazed pastures. To examine the seed germination ecology of two populations (Felton and Gatton) of S. madagascariensis, experiments were conducted in the laboratory and screen house. The germination of both populations increased as the alternating temperatures increased from the coolest temperatures (15/5 C) to warmer temperatures (25/15 C). However, the highest temperature regime (35/25 C) resulted in the lowest germination rates. The Gatton population exhibited greater tolerance to higher temperatures, resulting in significantly higher germination (2.4 times) than the Felton population at the highest alternating temperature of 35/25 C. Compared with the Felton population, the Gatton population demonstrated higher tolerance to salt and water stress. In comparison to alternating light and dark periods (12 h each) (97% to 98%), the germination of both populations of S. madagascariensis was significantly reduced under complete darkness (24 h) (33% to 39%). A screen house seed burial depth experiment revealed similar emergence of S. madagascariensis seedlings between the populations. The maximum emergence (60%) was observed for seeds placed at the soil surface, followed by a dramatic decline in seedling emergence with an increase in depth. No seedlings emerged from a burial depth of 4 cm. With the addition of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop residue to the soil surface at rates comparable to 4,000 to 8,000 kg ha−1, seedling emergence of S. madagascariensis decreased significantly. Information acquired from this study could be utilized to manage and develop effective weed management strategies for controlling S. madagascariensis in different agroecological conditions.
Covariable changes of septal spacing and conch shape during early ontogeny: a common characteristic between Perisphinctina and Ancyloceratina (Ammonoidea, Cephalopoda)

Published: March 2024

AbstractWe analyzed the ontogenetic trajectories of conch morphology and septal spacing between successive chambers in Cretaceous ammonoids (suborders Perisphinctina and Ancyloceratina) collected from southern India, Madagascar, and Japan. All examined species, except for the family Collignoniceratidae, exhibited similar characteristics during early ontogeny. The common ontogenetic trajectories of septal spacing show a cycle comprising an increase and a subsequent decrease in septal spacing during early ontogeny. The conch diameters at the end of the cycle were estimated to be 1–4 mm. The conch shape (aperture height and whorl expansion rate) covariably changed at this conch diameter. Such covariable changes are commonly recognized in the suborders Perisphinctina and Ancyloceratina. The similarity in the ontogenetic trajectories of conch morphology implies a closer phylogenetic relationship between these suborders compared to Lytoceratina or Phylloceratina.
TILTING COMPLEXES AND CODIMENSION FUNCTIONS OVER COMMUTATIVE NOETHERIAN RINGS
Authors: HRBEK MICHAL , NAKAMURA TSUTOMU , ŠŤOVÍČEK JAN 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn the derived category of a commutative noetherian ring, we explicitly construct a silting object associated with each sp-filtration of the Zariski spectrum satisfying the “slice” condition. Our new construction is based on local cohomology and it allows us to study when the silting object is tilting. For a ring admitting a dualizing complex, this occurs precisely when the sp-filtration arises from a codimension function on the spectrum. In the absence of a dualizing complex, the situation is more delicate and the tilting property is closely related to the condition that the ring is a homomorphic image of a Cohen–Macaulay ring. We also provide dual versions of our results in the cosilting case.
Welfare Elites and State Reconfiguration Evidence from the Transformation of French Social Security
Authors: Genieys William , Darviche Mohammad-Saïd 
Published: March 2024

AbstractStudying the transformation of France’s social security system between 1970 and 2020 reveals a recomposition of the power of unelected governmental elites. The institutionalization of a group of “welfare elites” characterized by a new sociological profile (social background and career paths) has led to a reshaping of policy governance (“Iron Triangle”). These High civil servants have carried out a program of “sustainable social welfare,” reinforcing state interventionism in health and social insurance policies. In the context of this program’s implementation, they have developed the role of custodians of state policies. This strengthening of the French state’s capacity sheds new light on the question of its reconfiguration.
Africans in China, Western/White Supremacy and the Ambivalence of Chinese Racial Identity
Authors: Zhang Binxin 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis article seeks to provide further insights into understanding the construction of Chinese identity by bringing the West/white into the picture of Afro-Sino racial relationships. It contends that the Chinese have internalized Western/white superiority through a long historical process, starting with the Western invasion in the 19th century and continuing with the construction of the contemporary historical narrative of the “century of humiliation.” This internalization and its ramifications can be observed in Chinese public discourses as well as diplomatic practices. Together with Western/white superiority, the Chinese also adopted a social Darwinist, competitive world view, using Western modernity as the yardstick by which to rank different peoples and societies in a racial hierarchy. Chinese racism against Africans is thus a projection of a harsh self-judgement. Unlike white supremacy in Western racial thinking, “Chinese supremacy” is often coupled with an inferiority complex.
Barriers to vaccine acceptance in the adult population of mainland Finland, 2021

Published: March 2024

Abstract
There has been a lack of information on vaccine acceptance for Finnish adults. We conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected through the Finnish Medicines Agency Medicine Barometer 2021 survey (response rate: 20.6%). We described and explained vaccine acceptance by investigating the associations between socio-demographic factors and statements using logistic regression and conducted a factor analysis. The majority of respondents (n = 2081) considered vaccines to be safe (93%), effective (97%), and important (95%). However, 20% and 14% felt they did not have enough information about vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), respectively. Respondents aged 18–39 were 2.8 times more likely to disagree that they had enough information about VPDs compared to respondents aged 60–79 (p < 0.001), while respondents with poorer self-perceived health were 1.8 times more likely to declare not having enough information about vaccines (p < 0.001). We generated three-factor dimensions from the eight statements. They were related to ‘Confidence and attitudes towards vaccines’, ‘Access to information on vaccines and VPDs’, and ‘Debate on vaccine issues’, which may reflect the underlying thinking patterns. Access to and understanding of information about vaccines and VPDs need to be improved for Finnish adults to increase vaccine acceptance and uptake, thus preventing the spread of VPDs.

AbstractThe interaction of a solar wind discontinuity with the backstreaming particles of the Earth’s ion foreshock can generate hot, tenuous plasma transients such as foreshock bubbles (FB) and hot flow anomalies (HFA). These transients are known to have strong effects on the magnetosphere, distorting the magnetopause (MP), either locally during HFAs or globally during FBs. However, previous studies on the global impact of FBs have not been able to determine whether the response stems directly from the transverse scale size of the phenomenon or its fast motion over the magnetosphere. Here we present the observation of an FB and its impact on the magnetosphere from different spacecraft scattered over the dayside magnetosphere. We are able to constrain the size of the transverse scale of an FB from direct observations to be about 10 RE. We go on to discuss how the magnetosphere responds to this transient, which seems to have a similar scale across the dayside.
