Introducing Complexity in Anthropology and Moral Status: a Reply to Pezzano
Authors: Llorca Albareda Joan 
Published: February 2024

AbstractPezzano has offered some relevant considerations to my recently published article Anthropological crisis or crisis in moral status. He advocates for the need to address ontologically and anthropologically the relation between human beings and technologies from the concept of property. Despite its centrality, this concept is taken for granted in the debates on the moral status of artificial intelligence (AI). Both proponents and detractors of the anthropology of properties adopt a position towards it without analyzing in depth what exactly we mean by property. In this reply, I intend to take the thesis put forward in my paper a step further on the basis of Pezzano's commentary. I will defend the urge to explore a complex anthropology, markedly technological, and I will introduce the consequences this may have on the concept of moral status.

AbstractEctopic liver (EL) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of a mass composed of hepatic tissue localized in a different anatomical location with no connection to the native liver. Usually an incidental finding, EL can rarely cause symptoms such as abdominal pain due to torsion, intraperitoneal bleeding, compression, obstruction, or neoplastic transformation, both benign and malignant. EL is often suspected after instrumental investigations such as ultrasound, CT and MRI, however a definitive diagnosis is necessarily bioptic. Here we report a case of a 22-year-old Italian female patient with acute abdominal pain, who underwent abdominal ultrasound, CEUS with Sonovue®, CT scan and ultrasound-guided biopsy which raised the suspicion of hepatocellular adenoma (H-HCA). After a laparoscopic excision of the lesion a diagnosis of H-HCA was formulated.

Abstract
Objective
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months of life, but there are racial/ethnic disparities in meeting this recommendation.

Methods
2017–2020 North Dakota Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (weighted N = 11,754) data were used to examine racial/ethnic differences in the association between self-reported breastfeeding barriers and breastfeeding duration. Breastfeeding duration was self-reported breastfeeding at 2 and 4 months, and number of weeks until breastfeeding cessation. Self-reported breastfeeding barriers were yes/no responses to 13 barriers (e.g., “difficulty latching,” “household duties”). Logistic regression estimated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals to determine if barriers accounted for breastfeeding disparities by race/ethnicity. Cox proportional hazard models estimated hazard ratios for stopping breastfeeding for American Indian and other race/ethnicity individuals, compared to White individuals. Models were adjusted for birthing parents’ demographic and medical factors.

Results
Logistic regression results suggest American Indian birthing parents had similar odds for breastfeeding duration (2-month duration: OR 0.94 (95%CI 0.50, 1.77); 4-month duration: OR 1.24 (95%CI 0.43, 3.62)) compared to White birthing parents, after accounting for breastfeeding barriers. Cox proportional hazard models suggest American Indian birthing parents had a lower hazard of stopping breastfeeding (HR 0.76 (95%CI 0.57, 0.99)) than White parents, after accounting for breastfeeding barriers.

Conclusions
Accounting for breastfeeding barriers eliminated observed disparities in breastfeeding outcomes between American Indian and White birthing parents. Targeted and culturally safe efforts to reduce barriers to breastfeeding are warranted to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in breastfeeding.
Convergent Data-Driven Regularizations for CT Reconstruction

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe reconstruction of images from their corresponding noisy Radon transform is a typical example of an ill-posed linear inverse problem as arising in the application of computerized tomography (CT). As the (naïve) solution does not depend on the measured data continuously,regularizationis needed to reestablish a continuous dependence. In this work, we investigate simple, but yet still provably convergent approaches tolearninglinear regularization methods from data. More specifically, we analyze two approaches: one generic linear regularization that learns how to manipulate the singular values of the linear operator in an extension of our previous work, and one tailored approach in the Fourier domain that is specific to CT-reconstruction. We prove that such approaches become convergent regularization methods as well as the fact that the reconstructions they provide are typically much smoother than the training data they were trained on. Finally, we compare the spectral as well as the Fourier-based approaches for CT-reconstruction numerically, discuss their advantages and disadvantages and investigate the effect of discretization errors at different resolutions.
Computability Theory on Polish Metric Spaces
Authors: Thewmorakot Teerawat 
Published: February 2024

AbstractComputability theoretic aspects of Polish metric spaces are studied by adapting notions and methods of computable structure theory. In this dissertation, we mainly investigate index sets and classification problems for computably presentable Polish metric spaces. We find the complexity of a number of index sets, isomorphism problems, and embedding problems for computably presentable metric spaces. We also provide several computable structure theory results related to some classical Polish metric spaces such as the Urysohn space
$\mathbb {U}$
, the Cantor space
$2^{\mathbb {N}}$
, the Baire space
$\mathbb {N}^{\mathbb {N}}$
, and spaces of continuous functions.Abstract prepared by Teerawat Thewmorakot.E-mail: teerawat.thew@hotmail.com
Computability Theory: Constructive Applications of the Lefthanded Local Lemma and Characterizations of Some Classes of Cohesive Powers
Authors: Mourad Daniel 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe Lovász local lemma (LLL) is a technique from combinatorics for proving existential results. There are many different versions of the LLL. One of them, the lefthanded local lemma, is particularly well suited for applications to two player games. There are also constructive and computable versions of the LLL. The chief object of this thesis is to prove an effective version of the lefthanded local lemma and to apply it to effectivise constructions of non-repetitive sequences.The second goal of this thesis is to categorize some classes of cohesive powers. We completely describe both the isomorphism types of cohesive powers of equivalence structures and injection structures, as well as clarify the relationship between these cohesive powers and their original structures. We also describe the finite condensation of cohesive powers of computable copies of the integers as a linear order by cohesive sets whose complement are computably enumerable.Finally, we investigate the possibility of decomposing problems in the Weihrauch degrees into a product of first order part and second order part. We give a preliminary result in this direction.Abstract prepared by Daniel Mourad.E-mail: daniel.mourad@uconn.eduURL: https://daniel-mourad.scholar.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2530/2023/06/ThesisFinalWithRevisions-2.pdf
Two-Point Concentration of the Independence Number of the Random Graph
Authors: Bohman Tom , Hofstad Jakob 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
We show that the independence number of

$ G_{n,p}$

is concentrated on two values if

$ n^{-2/3+ \epsilon } < p \le 1$

. This result is roughly best possible as an argument of Sah and Sawhney shows that the independence number is not, in general, concentrated on two values for

$ p = o ( (\log (n)/n)^{2/3} )$

. The extent of concentration of the independence number of

$ G_{n,p}$

for

$ \omega (1/n) < p \le n^{-2/3}$

remains an interesting open question.

Abstract
Studies examining the neurocognitive and circuit-based etiology of psychiatric illness are moving toward inclusive, global designs. A potential confounding effect of these associations is general intelligence; however, an internationally validated, harmonized intelligence quotient (IQ) measure is not available. We describe the procedures used to measure IQ across a five-site, multinational study and demonstrate the harmonized measure’s cross-site validity. Culturally appropriate intelligence measures were selected: four short-form Wechsler intelligence tests (Brazil, Netherlands, South Africa, United States) and the Binet Kamat (India). Analyses included IQ scores from 255 healthy participants (age 18–50; 42% male). Regression analyses tested between-site differences in IQ scores, as well as expected associations with sociodemographic factors (sex, socioeconomic status, education) to assess validity. Harmonization (e.g., a priori selection of tests) yielded the compatibility of IQ measures. Higher IQ was associated with higher socioeconomic status, suggesting good convergent validity. No association was found between sex and IQ at any site, suggesting good discriminant validity. Associations between higher IQ and higher years of education were found at all sites except the United States. Harmonized IQ scores provide a measure of IQ with evidence of good validity that can be used in neurocognitive and circuit-based studies to control for intelligence across global sites.
An integrative literature review of person–environment fit and employee engagement
Authors: Keane Andrew , Kwon Kibum , Kim Junhee 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to (a) develop a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between person–environment (PE) fit and employee engagement by shedding light on their intervening mechanisms; (b) represent how different types of PE fit and employee engagement interact; and (c) establish a comprehensive theoretical framework to guide future research based on the empirically examined constructs and their relationships. An integrative literature review of 51 empirical papers which analyzed the relationship between PE fit and employee engagement suggests that the antecedents of the relationship exist at the organizational, group, and individual levels and can be conceptualized as socialization, relationship building, and personal character, respectively; values–supplies fit, needs–supplies fit, and demands–abilities fit act as intervening mechanisms in the relationship; the relationship is temporal, reciprocal, and facilitated by human agency; and various outcomes result from the relationship. Implications for future research and practice are also discussed.
Loss-Driven Activism
Authors: Elia Marco 
Published: February 2024

AbstractI show that hedge funds react to unrealized losses on their passive positions by engaging with the management. The hedge fund managers’ psychological response is consistent with cognitive dissonance: They blame the firms’ management and switch to activism. The loss, which is hedge fund-investment specific, is distinct from economic factors such as the firm’s industry-adjusted performance. Loss-driven activism is more likely to be unfocused on specific issues and results in worse firm performance. This study shows that an overlooked consequence of unrealized losses is to trigger an active engagement with the firm.

Abstract
The Cuvier's beaked whale, Ziphius cavirostris, is a cosmopolitan species and the only beaked whale species commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea. Five strandings of Cuvier's beaked whale were reported along the Aegean/Mediterranean Seas coasts of Türkiye and northern coast of Cyprus in 2016–2017. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region (430–444 bp) and cytochrome b (cytb) (382–424 bp) sequences each revealed two different haplotypes (four out of five individuals had the same haplotype for each locus) on these stranded animals. The control region haplotypes were identical to two previously identified haplotypes from the Ionian (Greece) and Adriatic (Croatia) Seas. Only one of the cytb haplotypes had previously been described from the Adriatic Sea (Italy) and the other one was detected for the first time. In a comparison of these haplotypes with Cuvier's beaked whale haplotypes previously reported from outside the Mediterranean Sea, the Mediterranean subpopulation shows genetic differentiation based upon the presence of two unique haplotypes. Additional mtDNA sequences from the Mediterranean Sea are needed for a better understanding of the genetic population structure of this species and to elaborate more concrete conservation measures.
Description of a new species of Pericelis (Polycladida, Diposthidae) from sunken wood in the bathyal zone in Japan

Published: February 2024

Abstract
We describe Pericelis nivea sp. nov. from sunken wood collected 330 m deep, off the coast of Owase, Japan. This is the first record of Pericelis from the bathyal zone. Unlike other congeners, P. nivea sp. nov. is characterized by the absence of eyespots. We provide a partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene as a DNA barcode for the new species. Phylogenetic analyses based on concatenated sequences of nuclear 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA showed that P. nivea sp. nov. was nested in the clade of Pericelis with high support; however, the relationship between P. nivea sp. nov. and other Pericelis species was unclear.
Energetic Plasma Injections in Jovian Inner Magnetosphere: A Simulation Study

Published: February 2024

AbstractOutward transport of cold iogenic plasma and energetic charged particle injections are two essential aspects of mass, energy and magnetic flux circulation in the Jovian magnetosphere. However, it is unclear how these two processes interplay and how they evolve globally in the Jovian inner magnetosphere. We use the improved Rice Convection Model‐Jupiter to simulate the concurrent energetic injection and cold plasma convection in Jupiter's inner magnetosphere. The effects of plasma density, injection site location and energy of energetic particles on the plasma injection are parametrically investigated through a series of runs. The model successfully reproduces the energy‐time dispersion signature of energetic particles that may be observed by a spacecraft during an injection event. Simulation results show that the energetic injection is mainly driven by the electric field associated with the cold plasma outflow. Energetic particles are transported inward in the form of elongated fingers which appear interlaced with those of cold iogenic plasma. The injected particles are strongly modulated by the gradient/curvature drift, especially in inner regions close to the planet, and show a significant dispersion feature during the evolution. The radial velocity of the injection decreases from over 100 km/s at L = 20 RJ to less than 10 km/s at L = 10 RJ, while the related field‐aligned currents tend to increase during the inward injection. The energetic plasma density and the injection site location are found to have little effect on the plasma injection, provided that their effect on cold plasma convection is negligible.
Validating a UK Geomagnetically Induced Current Model Using Differential Magnetometer Measurements

Published: February 2024

AbstractExtreme space weather can damage ground‐based infrastructure such as power lines, railways and gas pipelines through geomagnetically induced currents (GICs). Modeling GICs requires knowledge about the source magnetic field and the electrical conductivity structure of the Earth to calculate ground electric fields during enhanced geomagnetic activity. The electric field, in combination with detailed information about the power grid topology, enable the modeling of GICs in high‐voltage (HV) power lines. Directly monitoring GICs in substations is possible with a Hall probe, but scarcely realized in the UK. Therefore we deployed the differential magnetometer method (DMM) to measure GICs at 12 sites in the UK power grid. The DMM includes the installation of two fluxgate magnetometers, one directly under a power line affected by GICs, and one as a remote site. The difference in recordings of the magnetic field at each instrument yields an estimate of the GICs in the respective power line segment via the Biot‐Savart law. We collected data across the UK in 2018–2022, monitoring HV line segments where previous research indicated high GIC risk. We recorded magnetometer data during several smaller storms that allow detailed analysis of our GIC model. For the ground electric field computations we used recent magnetotelluric (MT) measurements recorded close to the DMM sites. Our results show that there is strong agreement in both amplitude and signal shape between measured and modeled line and substation GICs when using our HV model and the realistic electric field estimates derived from MT data.

AbstractIn the rejuvenated mountain front, preexisting basement structures are often reactivated and interact with the subsequent thin‐skinned deformation. How the deep structures affect the shallower ones is key to establishing the processes and mechanisms for the foreland fold‐and‐thrust system. We presented an exceptional case study on the structural inheritance between the deep Mesozoic strike‐slip faults and the shallow Cenozoic contractional folds from the Northern Tianshan foreland basin, Northwest China, using high‐resolution 2‐D and 3‐D seismic data. Based on the interpretation of seismic data and progressive restoration, our study illustrated the NW‐trending Ai‐Ka strike‐slip faults controlled a dextral shear zone, which initiated the Gaoquan restraining bend in the basement during Jurassic. Later, these strike‐slip structures, close to the mountain front, were reactivated during the N‐S Mio‐Pliocene contraction, and folded the upper décollements that characterized the localization of thin‐skinned deformation. In contrast, in the further foreland, nonreactive strike‐slip faults controlled basal décollement pinch‐out, which localizes the thin‐skinned deformation, resulting in en échelon folds that trace the strike of the deep strike‐slip faults. The onset time of each anticline shows that the thin‐skinned deformation first extended laterally and then propagated further north, resulting in ca. 7 km shortening along the whole foreland. Moreover, the shortening rate decreased eastward from 0.90 to 1.46 mm/yr along the Gaoquan‐Kayindike structural line to 0.24–0.37 mm/yr along the Dunan structural line as the Sikeshu depression, constrained by the NW‐trending Ai‐Ka strike‐slip fault, narrowed eastward. This feature implies that the width of the depression may control the amount of displacement propagation.

Published: February 2024

AbstractProtein translation is a tightly regulated cellular process that is essential for gene expression and protein synthesis. The deregulation of this process is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. In this review, we discuss how deregulated translation can lead to aberrant protein synthesis, altered cellular functions, and disease progression. We explore the key mechanisms contributing to the deregulation of protein translation, including functional alterations in translation factors, tRNA, mRNA, and ribosome function. Deregulated translation leads to abnormal protein expression, disrupted cellular signaling, and perturbed cellular functions- all of which contribute to disease pathogenesis. The development of ribosome profiling techniques along with mass spectrometry-based proteomics, mRNA sequencing and single-cell approaches have opened new avenues for detecting diseases related to translation errors. Importantly, we highlight recent advances in therapies targeting translation-related disorders and their potential applications in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, infectious diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, the growing interest lies in targeted therapies aimed at restoring precise control over translation in diseased cells is discussed. In conclusion, this comprehensive review underscores the critical role of protein translation in disease and its potential as a therapeutic target. Advancements in understanding the molecular mechanisms of protein translation deregulation, coupled with the development of targeted therapies, offer promising avenues for improving disease outcomes in various human diseases. Additionally, it will unlock doors to the possibility of precision medicine by offering personalized therapies and a deeper understanding of the molecular underpinnings of diseases in the future.
