Abstract
Understanding the impact of population mobility on the spread of infectious diseases is crucial for designing effective interventions. Traditional models, such as origin-destination matrices, often lack the spatial and temporal resolution needed to accurately capture these dynamics. This study addresses this gap by introducing a novel methodology to estimate time-varying occupancy patterns across urban zones (patches) using geospatial data from mobile phones. By leveraging Brownian bridge models at an inhabitant-patch level, we construct a residence-occupation matrix (ROM) that represents the fraction of time individuals spend in each urban patch. We apply this approach to real-world data from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings show that even small shifts in local mobility patterns can significantly alter the epidemic’s trajectory, highlighting the importance of high-resolution mobility data in modeling infectious disease spread. These changes can be patch-specific, and their contribution to the overall evolution depends on the mobility dynamics and population sizes within each patch. The proposed ROM serves as a key input for multi-patch epidemiological models, that in turn, can provide more realistic epidemic forecasts, facilitating the evaluation of the effectiveness of patch-specific and global mobility restrictions, and improving the estimation of epidemiological parameters of such models in related research. Additionally, the ROM framework can be adapted to other patch-based models modeling various phenomena influenced by human mobility.
Impacts of electrogenerated chemiluminescence mechanism on the emission spectra and intensities
Authors: Ishimatsu Ryoichi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this mini-review, recent progress in electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) reported by our group is mainly introduced. First, the general principles of ECL and standard molecules for ECL are described, and then the ECL properties of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules, pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPYs (PPABs), pyrene (Py) and its derivative, Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes are introduced. The ECL efficiency of TADF molecules is increased by spin up-conversion from the T1 to S1 state, and that of PPABs is incremented kinetically due to the slower rate for the T1 state formation than the S1 state formation. The excimer formation mechanism of Py and its derivative in ECL is discussed. It is shown that very sharp ECL spectra can be obtained from Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes. Furthermore, intense ECL for binary mixed systems using Ir(ppy)3 and electron donor or acceptor molecules is described. These results provide insight into how the ECL mechanism affects emission intensity, efficiency, and spectrum.

Authors: Liu Funnce , Hoang-Nguyen Hang , Ham Erin , Eastment McKenna C. , Tulloch-Palomino Luis G. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective:
To explore the progress that the Veterans Health Administration has made to minimize the impact of the penicillin (PCN) allergy label, we determined the proportion of Veterans who reported a PCN-class allergy at the time of hospitalization and described antibiotic use in hospitalizations with and without a PCN-class allergy.

Design:
Cross-sectional study.

Participants:
National sample of 6,541,299 acute care admissions between 2011 and 2022.

Methods:
We calculated the prevalence of PCN-class allergies on admission and used Poisson regression to compare patterns of antibiotic use between hospitalizations with and without a PCN-class allergy.

Results:
The prevalence of PCN-class allergies on admission decreased from 12.99% to 11.20%. Use of cefazolin and non-pseudomonal third-generation cephalosporins increased regardless of PCN-class allergy status (“PCN-class allergy only” +11.46%, “No antibiotic allergy” +4.92%). The prevalence ratio (PR) for antibiotic use in hospitalizations with a PCN-class allergy compared to hospitalizations without antibiotic allergies, decreased for anti-Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus agents (1.26 [1.25, 1.28] to 1.15 [1.13, 1.17]), carbapenems (1.59 [1.54, 1.65] to 1.47 [1.41, 1.53]), and aztreonam (23.89 [22.45, 25.43] to 17.57 [15.90, 19.42]); and increased for fluoroquinolones (1.58 [1.56, 1.60] to 2.15 [2.09, 2.20]).

Conclusions:
Prevalence of PCN-class allergies is declining and narrow-spectrum βL use is rising among hospitalized Veterans. Prescribing differences are decreasing between hospitalizations with and without a reported PCN-class allergy, except for aminoglycosides, clindamycin, and fluoroquinolones. These findings can serve to identify areas of focus for future analyses or interventions related to the impact of the PCN allergy label on antibiotic selection.
Strategies, personnel, and diversity of pediatric antimicrobial stewardship programs in the United States: Strategies and composition of US pediatric ASPs
Authors: Manice Christina S. , Plattner Alexander S. , Leshem Edan , Newland Jason G. , Nakamura Mari M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective:
We sought to characterize US pediatric antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs), including their hospital demographics, staffing, funded full-time equivalents (FTEs) by hospital size, and relative emphasis on recommended stewardship strategies. We examined the self-reported characteristics of ASP personnel with regard to discipline, race, ethnicity, gender identity, and years of experience in antimicrobial stewardship.

Design:
Descriptive two-part survey.

Setting:
Pediatric ASPs at hospitals participating in Sharing Antimicrobial Reports for Pediatric Stewardship (SHARPS), a pediatric quality improvement collaborative of >70 children’s hospitals.

Participants:
Survey distributed to 82 US pediatric ASPs, excluding hospitals without pediatric ASPs. Part I completed by ASP leader (physician or pharmacist). Part II distributed to ASP team members.

Methods:
Part I addressed hospital demographics, ASP funding, and program choices related to the CDC’s 2019 Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs. Part II requested that participants anonymously self-identify race, ethnicity, gender identity, training, and duration of ASP experience. Descriptive statistics performed.

Results:
Sixty-two ASPs responded: 61 (98%) with formal ASP, 40 (65%) from freestanding children’s hospitals. 40 (65%) co-led by an ASP physician and pharmacist. 60 (97%) reported dedicated inpatient physician FTE, 57 (92%) dedicated inpatient pharmacist FTE. Most programs (35 [58%]) reported inadequate staffing support. The 125 ASP professionals who completed Part II predominantly self-reported as White (89 [71%]), with fewer self-reporting as Asian (9 [15%]) or Black (4 [3%]).

Conclusion:
US pediatric ASPs have achieved substantial progress in meeting the CDC Core Elements, but many report insufficient resources. We identified underrepresentation in the ASP workforce.
Can autocratic power influence the media in democracies? Evidence from China's expulsion of American journalists
Authors: Lai Ruilin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Can autocratic governments influence foreign media? This study finds that political pressures from autocrats can motivate the media in democracies to tone down their negativity. Exploiting China's sudden expulsion of American journalists in March 2020, I show that US news outlets targeted by the expulsion adopted a more positive tone toward China in their subsequent coverage, compared to outlets that were not targeted. Further analyses confirm that the observed pattern is not due to unexpelled outlets presenting more negative coverage of China, and that the expulsion has similar chilling effects on media outlets that could have been affected. The findings highlight the overt threats autocracies pose to media freedom, a fundamental pillar of democratic societies.
Geology and microstructural evolution of syn- to late-tectonic granitoids from Capo Vaticano Promontory (southern Calabria, Italy)

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study presents new field and microstructural constraints into the batholith architecture and supra- to subsolidus evolution of late Variscan granitoids at Capo Vaticano Promontory, part of the ∼13 km-thick Serre Batholith in southern Italy. A field survey, assisted by petrographic analyses, produced the first geological map of the area (1:140,000 scale), detailing magmatic unit relationships and their petro-structural features. A migmatitic border zone (MBZ) marks the transition from lower-crustal paragneisses to the deepest emplaced granitoids. The oldest, deepest granitoids are strongly to moderately foliated amphibole-biotite tonalites and quartz diorites, transitioning to biotite tonalites and quartz-diorites (BT), which can be subdivided into strongly to moderately foliated (BTs) and weakly foliated to unfoliated (BTw). Clear intrusive contacts mark the passage from BTw to overlying weakly foliated-unfoliated porphyritic muscovite-biotite granodiorites and granites (PMBG). The study also revealed: a) a northern sector with a continuous batholith cross-section and b) a southern sector with an irregular distribution of the magmatic units due to post-Variscan tectonics. Microstructures document late Variscan deformation starting at suprasolidus conditions (e.g., quartz chessboard patterns and submagmatic fractures in plagioclase) and evolving through progressively high- to low-temperature subsolidus stages (e.g., feldspar bulging, quartz recrystallization, mica kinking) for all the magmatic units. Continuous supra- to subsolidus deformation associated with a well-developed fabric suggests tectonic control on the emplacement and cooling of early tonalites/quartz diorites, while the emplacement of the porphyritic granitoids has occurred during waning tectonic activity stages in the framework of the post-collisional evolution of the south-western Variscan Belt.
Porina dolichoepiphylla (lichenized Ascomycota: Porinaceae), a new species of foliicolous lichen from Mindanao Island with an updated checklist of Porina species in the Philippines

Published: February 2025

AbstractA new Philippine foliicolous species, Porina dolichoepiphylla, was discovered from the central part of Mindanao Island, and is described and illustrated here. This new species is characterized by conspicuously longer ascospores, a feature shared only with P. virescens within the Porina epiphylla subgroup but can be distinguished from the latter by its hairless surface, as well as rough thalli with primordia of perithecia. Porina dolichoepiphylla sp. nov. is known only from the type locality on Mt Kitanglad, growing along the frond of Asplenium vittaeforme in a shady lower montane forest. An updated checklist of Porina species in the Philippines with a taxonomic key to the foliicolous species of the Porina epiphylla subgroup is also provided. The discovery of the new lichen species highlights the importance of continued exploration and documentation efforts within the Philippine archipelago.
Leucistic Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) observations in Erebus Bay, Antarctica
Authors: Anderson Morgan E. , Levinson Parker M. , Rotella Jay J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Pigmentation and colouration are important to animal fitness. Colourations convey important information and impact predation risk, thermoregulation and mate selection. There are many cases of hypopigmentation across the animal kingdom, and leucism is a common form. We observed a Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) pup with cream-coloured fur, light skin and white nails multiple times in 2022 in Erebus Bay, Antarctica. The pup was observed 1 year later as a generally healthy yearling. This is the first documentation of a leucistic seal within this well-studied population and the second documentation of such colouration in this species. This seal offers a potential opportunity to observe the effects of hypopigmentation in Antarctic true seals.
Caregivers influence preferred place of death for patients with an advanced cancer
Authors: Malhotra Chetna , Murali Shravya , Chaudhry Isha 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives
Family caregivers influence realization of home death among advanced cancer patients. However, little is known about the caregiver factors influencing patients’ preferred and actual place of death. We aimed to assess caregiver factors associated with both caregivers’ and patients’ preferred place of death, and the association between their preferred and actual place of death.

Methods
From a prospective cohort of 600 patients with stage IV solid malignancy, and 311 caregivers, we analyzed data for 227 patient–caregiver dyads of deceased patients who responded to the question on preferred place of death for patients at least once within the last 3 years before death. We assessed the association of patients’ and caregivers’ preferred place of death for patients with caregivers’ competency, employment, relationship quality with the patient, their relationship with the patient, family support, and the presence of a domestic helper. We controlled for relevant patient factors and utilized the actor–partner interdependence framework for analysis.

Results
Overall, 67% patients and 74% caregivers preferred a home death for patients during the last 3 years prior to patient’s death. Patients whose caregivers reported greater caregiving competency were more likely to prefer a home death (average marginal effect: 0.02; 95% confidence interval, 0.003–0.04). Spousal caregivers were less likely to prefer a home death (−0.10 (−0.19, −0.004)). Caregivers lacking family support were more likely to prefer an institutional death (0.04 (0.002–0.08)). While caregivers’ preferences had a marginally significant association with patients’ actual place of death (p-value < 0.10), we did not find any association between patients’ preferred and actual place of death.

Significance of results
Caregivers play a crucial role in shaping patients’ preferred and actual place of death. Supporting caregivers, particularly spousal caregivers, and enhancing their caregiving competency could potentially help achieve a home death for the patient.
Career lessons from economists’ life stories: Brian J. Loasby as an Exemplar
Authors: Cañibano Carolina , Earl Peter E. , Muñoz Félix-Fernando 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper derives career lessons for economists by examining the unusual career of Brian J. Loasby in terms of Loasby’s own key ideas. Loasby’s early career ran into difficulties after he chose to become a postgraduate for lifestyle rather than career reasons, with his insufficiently ambitious reference standards resulting in unduly narrow search for both options and new connections. His eventual success came because of a path-dependent process whereby he developed an organizing framework that was conducive to finding problems and making intellectual connections. It was a process in which making personal connections also had a key role, though some intellectual connections that he earlier failed to make resulted from trusting other people. In the market for contributions to knowledge, his way of branding and positioning his work in relation to management decision-making and the growth of knowledge gave it a wider appeal than would have been the case if he had aligned himself with a particular school of thought or ‘heterodox economics’ in general.
Inclusive national innovation systems: rethinking institutions in the light of inclusion imperatives
Authors: Casadella Vanessa , Tahi Sofiane 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
National innovation systems (NISs) have been important in the literature since the 1990s for highlighting the institutional performance of economies and promoting economic development. Inclusion in systemic innovation activities is an emerging area of research. However, the definition of inclusion within innovative activities remains unclear and is associated with numerous forms and characteristics depending on the context visited. Our work highlights the conceptual gap that exists around the notion of inclusive innovation by characterising three forms of inclusion in relation to innovation activities. We thus set out, in the form of a typology, three distinct framings which enable us to identify three different levels associated with specific institutional mechanisms and forms of inclusion. This typology makes it possible to identify appropriate innovation policies, depending on how inclusive innovation is characterised (low, medium, and high). It also helps to clarify the inclusive nature of innovation in NIS approaches.
Compact continuous class-F/class-F−1 power amplifiers utilizing one-port CRLH transmission lines for broadband harmonic matching
Authors: Tsuji Eri , Aonuma Soshi , Tanaka Shinichi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We present continuous Class-F (CCF) and continuous Class-F−1 (CCF−1) power amplifiers (PAs) with compact circuit sizes. The output matching network (OMN) of a continuously harmonic-tuned PA must accommodate varying load impedance conditions across a wide frequency range, spanning from the fundamental frequency up to the 2nd and 3rd harmonic frequencies. This requirement typically leads to LPF-type OMNs with a significant circuit area overhead, thereby limiting the applicability of the broadband PAs. In this paper, we propose utilizing a one-port composite right-/left-handed transmission line to control the harmonic loads, while the fundamental loads are managed by a moderately sized LPF. This resulted in a notable reduction in PA size by nearly an order of magnitude. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this design approach through the fabrication of 2-GHz-band GaN HEMT PAs operating in CCF and CCF−1 modes. While both PAs exhibited high-efficiency (>70%) operational bandwidths at a state-of-the-art level, we also elucidate key design considerations specific to each PA operation mode.
The Dark Side of the Self: When Family is Highly Related to Mental Health Deterioration
Authors: Ertema Merjema , Sanchez-Sosa Juan Carlos , Garcia Oscar F. , Villarreal-Gonzalez Maria Elena , Garcia Fernando 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study aims to empirically test whether family has a unique significance for the self that cannot be captured by the social self alone. Specifically, it examines whether family self-concept, compared to social self-concept, is more closely related to family-specific indicators (i.e., parent–child communication and family functioning) as well as to indicators of emotional maladjustment like mental health deterioration (i.e., psychological distress and depressive symptoms). The sample comprised 4,953 Mexican adolescents, including 2,551 men (51.5%) and 2,402 women, aged 14–17 years (M = 15.60, SD = 0.92). Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to evaluate the proposed big five-dimensional self-concept model. Cohen’s d confidence intervals, derived from the shared variance of Pearson’s r correlations, were analyzed to relate self-concept dimensions to parent–child communication, family functioning, and mental health deterioration. Results from factorial confirmatory analysis showed that the five-dimensional oblique model (i.e., academic, social, emotional, physical, and family, as different from social) provided a better fit than competing unidimensional and orthogonal models. Correlation analyses showed that family self-concept was significantly associated with both parent–child communication and family functioning, as well as with psychological distress (d = −1.10, confidence interval [CI] −1.21 to −1.02) and depressive symptoms (d = −1.24, CI −1.31 to −1.22). These findings add evidence that family is not accurately represented within the social self-concept. Furthermore, perceiving oneself as unloved and undervalued at home (i.e., low family self-concept) is strongly associated not only with dysfunctional family processes but also with mental health deterioration.
Voter Preferences for Ethnoracial Minority Candidates: The Role of Policy Alignment and Shared Identity
Authors: Igarashi Akira , Ono Yoshikuni 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Existing research suggests that ethnoracial majority voters favor coethnic candidates over those from ethnoracial minorities due to stereotypical inferences about policy positions based on ethnic group and shared group identity. This study examines whether coethnic bias can be mitigated when ethnic minority candidates adopt policy positions favorable to ethnoracial majorities and share a common group identity with them. We conducted a pre-registered survey experiment with Japanese voters, using vignettes that varied a hypothetical candidate’s origin, name, and migrant policy proposals. Our findings indicate that ethnoracial majority respondents do not necessarily disfavor ethnic minority candidates. Furthermore, policy positions and shared identity do not mitigate candidate preferences. However, this null result is driven by heterogeneous responses to the candidates’ ethnic origins based on perceived threats. Voters who perceive higher threats from ethnoracial minorities are more likely to negatively evaluate ethnic minority candidates, whereas those perceiving lower threats tend to evaluate them positively.
Deep learning enhanced light sheet fluorescence microscopy for in vivo 4D imaging of zebrafish heart beating

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Time-resolved volumetric fluorescence imaging over an extended duration with high spatial/temporal resolution is a key driving force in biomedical research for investigating spatial-temporal dynamics at organism-level systems, yet it remains a major challenge due to the trade-off among imaging speed, light exposure, illumination power, and image quality. Here, we present a deep-learning enhanced light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) approach that addresses the restoration of rapid volumetric time-lapse imaging with less than 0.03% light exposure and 3.3% acquisition time compared to a typical standard acquisition. We demonstrate that the convolutional neural network (CNN)-transformer network developed here, namely U-net integrated transformer (UI-Trans), successfully achieves the mitigation of complex noise-scattering-coupled degradation and outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning networks, due to its capability of faithfully learning fine details while comprehending complex global features. With the fast generation of appropriate training data via flexible switching between confocal line-scanning LSFM (LS-LSFM) and conventional LSFM, this method achieves a three- to five-fold signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement and ~1.8 times contrast improvement in ex vivo zebrafish heart imaging and long-term in vivo 4D (3D morphology + time) imaging of heartbeat dynamics at different developmental stages with ultra-economical acquisitions in terms of light dosage and acquisition time.
