Gender differences in the gap between desired and observed fertility in Spain
Authors: Legazpe Nuria , Davia María A. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze gender differences in the determinants of the gap between actual and desired fertility in Spain. To this aim, we exploit the 2018 Fertility Survey (EF2018) from the Spanish Statistical Institute (INE). A binary probit model shows that gender differences in the risk (and its pattern) of not reaching the desired family size are generally more pronounced amongst parents than amongst childless adults. For women, a high level of education, a potentially unstable employment situation (as an employee in the private sector) and not living with a partner increases the risk of not having the desired number of children. For men, variables related to income instability or low monthly income cause a more pronounced differential between desired and actual parenthood than amongst women, while neither educational level nor partner status – amongst those who are already fathers – significantly influences their probability of not reaching the desired number of children.

Abstract
This scoping review synthesizes existing literature on the application of the capability approach (CA) to address the health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples across the globe. Academic and grey literature searches led to the identification of 20 papers for inclusion in the review. Findings reveal a growing interest in applying the CA to Indigenous health and well-being research, highlighting its potential to guide interventions and policies. The included studies indicate that the CA has been applied to individual capabilities such as facilitating access to services and collective capabilities linked to identity and traditional knowledge preservation. A key finding across the reviewed literature is the importance of incorporating Indigenous values into defining programmes and policies aimed at improving Indigenous Peoples’ well-being. The review underscores the varied application of the CA by researchers aligning with the position of either Sen or Nussbaum, leading to contrasting methodological approaches. Results underscore the CA’s potential as a culturally sensitive framework for participatory and locally embedded development of well-being interventions and policies.
Working the Crowd: Citizen Forecasting, Sophistication and Diversity in Canadian Federal and Provincial Elections
Authors: Mongrain Philippe , Fréchet Nadjim , Thompson Collart Brian , Dufresne Yannick 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
According to the “miracle of aggregation” principle, in the absence of systematic biases, errors in individual judgments within a population should cancel each other out and lead to a correct decision at the aggregate level. This article explores potential individual- and group-level correlates of the accuracy of citizens’ electoral expectations and investigates how potential markers of political sophistication—namely, educational attainment and political interest—could be used to improve upon the raw aggregation of citizens’ forecasts using massive survey datasets collected during six Canadian national and provincial election campaigns between 2011 and 2022 (n = 279,003). We find that while educational attainment and interest increase the probability of a correct forecast at the individual level, delegating the forecasting task based on these variables does not necessarily lead to improvements in the accuracy of aggregate-level predictions. At the group level, we fail to uncover any evidence that sociological or informational diversity increases forecasting accuracy.
A novel joint external torque estimate model of the lightweight robot’s joint based on a BP neural network

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The safety of human-collaborative operations with robots depends on monitoring the external torque of the robot, in which there are toque sensor-based and torque sensor-free methods. Economically, the classic method for estimating joint external torque is the first-order momentum observer (MOB) based on a physic model without torque sensors. However, uncertainties in the dynamic model, which encompasses parameters identification error and joint friction, affect the torque estimation accuracy. To address this issue, this paper proposes using the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) method to estimate joint external torque without the delicate physical model by utilizing the powerful machine learning ability to handle the uncertainties of the MOB method and improve the accuracy of torque estimation. Using data obtained from the torque sensor to train the BPNN to build up a digital torque model, the trained BPNN can perceive force in practical applications without relying on the torque sensor. In the end, by contrast to the classic first-order MOB, the result demonstrates that BPNN achieves higher estimation accuracy compared to the MOB.
Critical configurations of the hard-core model on square grid graphs
Authors: Baldassarri Simone , Jacquier Vanessa , Zocca Alessandro 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We consider the hard-core model on a finite square grid graph with stochastic Glauber dynamics parametrized by the inverse temperature

$\beta$

. We investigate how the transition between its two maximum-occupancy configurations takes place in the low-temperature regime

$\beta \to \infty$

in the case of periodic boundary conditions. The hard-core constraints and the grid symmetry make the structure of the critical configurations for this transition, also known as essential saddles, very rich and complex. We provide a comprehensive geometrical characterization of these configurations that together constitute a bottleneck for the Glauber dynamics in the low-temperature limit. In particular, we develop a novel isoperimetric inequality for hard-core configurations with a fixed number of particles and show how the essential saddles are characterized not only by the number of particles but also their geometry.
‘Why, Miles, what a funny song! Did I teach you that?’: The Turn of the Screw, Reading, Imagination, and the Uncanny
Authors: MCQUINN JULIE 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this article I bring Henry James's novella The Turn of the Screw, Benjamin Britten and Myfanwy Piper's opera based on the novella, and elements of the 2011 Glyndebourne production of the opera into interaction with theories of the uncanny to wonder about the act of reading. This novella and opera thematize reading in connection with the uncanny and the ghostly, providing an opportunity to pursue what might be at stake and what might be possible when boundaries blur and meaning is put in motion. I begin to explore uncanny reading as a tool to unsettle binary logics and one-to-one mappings. I consider the uncanny as connective tissue between theoretical makings related to identity, relationships, and the potentialities of fiction. And I put these ideas into interactive practice as I self-consciously read this opera, to connect to and challenge normative and oppressive forces, impulses, and systems, including cultural scripts, social power structures, and ways of knowing and interacting.
The Eternal Path between Sound and Sense: Luciano Berio's Linguistic Exploration in Sinfonia and Coro
Authors: CHOI MISTY 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study examines Luciano Berio's integration of twentieth-century linguistic and semiotic concepts in his works Sinfonia and Coro, focusing on the interplay between sound, meaning, and structure. It highlights Berio's exploration of the unconscious mind and the idea of ‘universality of experience', suggesting that humans may possess an innate musical ability similar to that of language. The article also discusses the concept of the ‘theatre of the mind', where Berio combines musical and textual elements to evoke images or situations for the audience's interpretation. Through an analysis of the third movement of Sinfonia and Coro, the study illustrates how Berio implicitly develops a system of signification that evokes meaning, showcasing both musical and textual productivity, along with the notion of ‘the infinite use of finite means’. This exploration contributes to understanding how twentieth-century linguistics and semiotics can inform contemporary music and signify meaning within it.
Dionysus and Adonis: a Contribution to the Study of the Orphic Rhapsodies
Authors: D’Alessio Giovan Battista 
Published: February 2025

AbstractA hexameter text of ‘Dionysiac’ subject, recently discovered in a late-antique palimpsest in the Monastery of St Catherine on Mt Sinai, and arguably the first fragment of direct transmission of the famous Orphic Rhapsodies, offers a very remarkable story. Aphrodite raises a divine child on Mt Nysa; the child disappears during an absence of the goddess, who looks for him through the whole universe. She eventually finds him in the Underworld, where he is in the charge of Persephone, who relates an oracle about him and his offspring. Aphrodite and the child remain in the Underworld until he grows to puberty, and they beget Hermes Chthonios. Many features of this tale find parallels in various versions of the story of Adonis. The child of the new poem, though, is identified as Dionysus. In this article, making use also of previously neglected Neoplatonic sources, I show that the identification between Dionysus and Adonis was an important feature of the last chronological stage of the Theogony narrated in the Orphic Rhapsodies, where Adonis was one of the ‘images’ of Dionysus, which played a key part in the creation of the mortal world.

AbstractThe increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, driven by climate change and anthropogenic activities, pose unprecedented challenges to emergency response agencies worldwide. Satellite remote sensing has become a critical tool for providing timely and accurate data to aid in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. This Commentary explores the role of satellite remote sensing in managing climate‐driven disasters, highlighting the use of technologies such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for creating damage proxy maps. These maps are instrumental in assessing disaster impacts and guiding response efforts, as demonstrated by the 2023 Wildfires in Hawaii. Despite the promise of these tools, challenges remain, including the need for rapid data processing, automation in data pipelines, and robust international collaborations. The future missions composing the Earth System Observatory, including the upcoming NASA‐ISRO SAR mission, represents a significant advancement with its global coverage and frequent, detailed measurements. This study emphasizes the importance of continued investment in advanced satellite technologies and international cooperation to enhance disaster response capabilities, ultimately building a more resilient global community.

Published: February 2025

AbstractCoseismic fracturing in the strong, dry, and metastable plagioclase‐rich lower‐crust is an effective mechanism for creating pathways for fluids to infiltrate the host rock, kick‐start metamorphism, and potentially lead to rheological weakening. In this study, we have characterized the damage zone flanking a lower‐crustal pseudotachylyte (solidified frictional melt produced during seismic slip) within an anorthosite to determine the mechanisms of incipient aqueous fluid infiltration and redistribution in a lower‐crustal seismogenic fault. Pulverization‐style fracturing of the host anorthosite resulted in the comminution of the host plagioclase (plagioclase1) grains and the growth of very fine (<20 μm) grained secondary plagioclase neoblasts (plagioclase2) filling the fractures. Fluid‐assisted grain growth accompanied surface‐ and strain‐energy minimization grain growth in the healing and sealing of the fractures. This process was not associated with the densification nor the creation of new reaction‐induced porosity. Fourier transform infrared maps transecting the damage zones show the presence of H2O species along the plagioclase1 and plagioclase2 grain boundary regions, as well as incorporated into plagioclase2 grain interiors. Grain‐size sensitive creep of fine‐grained plagioclase localized along the pseudotachylyte margin where fracturing was most pervasive. In the absence of reaction‐induced porosity, strain localization is determined by repeated occurrences of extreme grain‐size reduction in addition to the mobilization of aqueous fluid to the grain boundary regions, to the extent in which these fine‐grained wet plagioclase2 layers are volumetrically dominant over dry, coarse plagioclase1 fragments. This forms a layer capable of deforming by grain‐size sensitive creep and sustaining the mobility of fluids.

AbstractThe Martian mantle is considered to have a higher Fe/Mg ratio than the Earth's mantle. Ringwoodite, γ‐(Mg,Fe)2SiO4, is likely the dominant polymorph of olivine in the core‐mantle boundary (CMB) region of Mars. We synthesized anhydrous iron‐rich ringwoodite with molar Mg/(Mg + Fe) = 0.44 and determined its thermal equation of state up to 35 GPa and 750 K by synchrotron X‐ray diffraction. Using a third order Birch‐Murnaghan equation of state, we obtain KT0 = 182 (3) GPa, K′ = 4.6 (2), and α0 = 3.18 (6) × 10−5 K−1. Using these results and an updated mineralogical model with an iron‐rich composition of Mg/(Mg + Fe) = 0.75 for the Martian mantle, we estimate ∼1900 K for the temperature of the D1000 seismic discontinuity inside Mars. The resulting adiabat predicts a warm aerotherm, which could explain the presence of partial melt at the CMB of Mars recently detected with seismic data from the 2019 InSight mission.

Published: February 2025

AbstractNatural or engineered microparticles are often encountered in subsurface multiphase flow systems. This introduces a complex flow scenario with a variety of applications. However, the influence of particles on multiphase flow dynamics and the underlying mechanism remain elusive. Here, we investigate particle transport behavior and fluid phase distribution within 3D porous media through direct visualization utilizing laser scanning confocal microscopy. The mechanisms and factors governing particle aggregation during two‐phase flow are elucidated. We identify a previously overlooked pore‐scale phenomenon: fragmentation of wetting liquid induced by spontaneous particle aggregation in localized regions. This process dramatically increases the number of wetting clusters while reducing the fluid connectivity, resulting in a change in the relative permeability of fluids. These findings reveal the dynamic coupling mechanism between pore‐scale particle aggregation and fluid flow and transport properties at larger scales, providing critical insights for predicting and controlling particle mediated geophysical flow processes.
Improved Aftershock Forecasts Using Mainshock Information in the Framework of the ETAS Model
Authors: Asayesh Behnam M. , Hainzl Sebastian , Zöller Gert 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model is the most widely used and powerful statistical model for aftershock forecasting. While the distribution of aftershocks around the mainshock is anisotropic, the spatial probability density function of the ETAS model is commonly assumed to be isotropic due to insufficient information. In addition, its parameter estimation can be highly biased due to catalog incompleteness after the mainshock. Thus, we extended the recently developed 2D temporal ETASI, which accounts for short‐term incompleteness, to 2D and 3D spatiotemporal ETASI, considering additional spatial occurrence probabilities in the framework of ETAS and ETASI to improve aftershock forecasting. We replaced the isotropic spatial kernel with anisotropic kernels estimated by a spatial probability map of stress scalars, including Coulomb stress changes on master fault orientation (MAS), Coulomb stress changes on variable mechanisms (VM), maximum shear (MS), and von Mises stress (VMS), and the nearest distance to the ruptured fault of the mainshock (R). The fit to six prominent mainshock‐aftershock sequences in California demonstrates that the ETASI model outperforms the standard ETAS model. Furthermore, positive information gains indicate that using stress calculations as additional input information can improve the parameter fit. This improvement is weaker in 3D, which is likely related to greater positional uncertainty in the depth domain. However, incorporating the probability map calculated as a function of the nearest distance to the mainshock rupture leads to the best performance in all model variants.
Cross Correlation Between Plasmaspheric Hiss Waves and Enhanced Radiation Levels at Aviation Altitudes

Published: February 2025

AbstractEnhanced radiation in the Earth's atmosphere can pose serious hazards to pilots, aircraft passengers, and commercial space travelers. Recent results have shown, statistically, that there is a strong correlation between dose rates observed by Automated Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety (ARMAS) instruments at aviation altitudes (>9 km) and plasmaspheric hiss wave power measured by NASA's Van Allen Probes within the inner magnetosphere. Plasmaspheric hiss waves play a very important role in removing energetic electrons from the Earth's radiation belts by precipitating them into the upper atmosphere. These relativistic electrons generally drift eastwards along closed magnetic drift shells. In this study, we use magnetic conjunction events between ARMAS and the Van Allen Probes to analyze the causality between plasmaspheric hiss waves and enhanced radiation observed at aviation altitude. We specifically study how the size of the conjunction window and a shift in L and MLT of the conjunction window affect the correlation between dose rates and plasmaspheric hiss wave power. This is to determine if the observed enhanced radiation at aviation altitude is indeed caused by the plasmaspheric hiss waves in the inner magnetosphere. The results show that the enhanced radiation levels are only correlated with plasmaspheric hiss waves within conjunction windows of −1 L 1 and 0 MLT 2. The correlation between dose rate and hiss wave power increases slightly if ARMAS is shifted approximately 1 hr in MLT to the east of the Van Allen Probes, consistent with the drift trajectory of the electrons precipitating into the atmosphere.

Abstract
Research on treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is becoming more challenging due to a growing number of younger patients being affected. The pathogenesis of KOA is complex for being a multifactorial disease affecting the entire joint, with remodeling of subchondral bone playing a key role in the degeneration of the overlying cartilage. Therefore, this study constructed a bipedal postmenopausal KOA mouse model to better understand how the interplay between subchondral bone remodeling and cartilage degeneration contributes to KOA development. A single-cell atlas of the osteochondral composite tissue was established. Furthermore, three novel subtypes of chondrocytes, including Smoc2
+ angiogenic chondrocytes, Angptl7
+ angiogenic chondrocytes, and Col1a1
+ osteogenic chondrocytes, were identified in femoral condyles of KOA mice. In addition, the Angptl7
+ chondrocytes promoted angiogenesis in the subchondral bone of KOA mice by interacting with endothelial cells via the FGF2-FGFR2 signaling pathway. The number of H-type vessels was increased in the subchondral bone, recruiting osteoprogenitor cells and facilitating osteogenesis in KOA mice. Sparc
+ osteoblasts have negatively regulated bone mineralization and osteoblastic differentiation, aggravated the pathological remodeling of subchondral bone, and promoted the progression of KOA. The above findings have offered new targets and opened up an avenue for the therapeutic intervention of KOA.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The effective electric resistivity of conductive thermoplastics manufactured by filament extrusion methods is determined by both the material constituents and the printing parameters. The former determines the multifunctional nature of the composite, whereas the latter dictates the mesostructural characteristics such as filament adhesion and void distribution. This work provides a multi-scale computational framework to evaluate the thermo-electro-mechanical behaviour of printed conductive polymers. A full-field homogenisation model first provides the influence of material and mesostructural features (i.e., filament orientations, voids and adhesion between filaments). Then, a macroscopic continuum model elucidates the effects of thermo-electro-mechanical mixed boundary conditions. The in-silico multi-scale methodology is validated with extensive original multi-physical experiments and a functional application consisting of an electro-heatable printing cartridge. Overall, this work establishes the foundations to virtually break the gap between mesoscopic and macroscopic multifunctional responses in conductive components manufactured by additive manufacturing techniques.
