AbstractMembers of the genus Klebsormidium are ubiquitously distributed over the Earth and are among the major biological soil crust (BSC) forming microalgae. Their representatives can be found in terrestrial, aquatic, polar, desert regions and have been investigated so far from various aspects. However, the available information about Klebsormidium isolates from lamp-flora is very limited. In our work, we examined a Klebsormidium strain isolated from a Hungarian cave. The temperature optimum of its photosynthetic performance was tested by oxygen yield measurements and pulse-amplitude-modulated fluorescence, which were completed by determination of specific growth rates at different temperatures, from 10 to 40 °C. In addition, we also evaluated the brassinosteroid (BR) content of these cultures. Our results indicated that the studied microalga is capable of growing from 10 to 40 °C, with a 20–25 °C temperature optimum; these findings were in accordance with the observed hormone levels. Regarding photosynthetic performance, the oxygen yield and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements showed maxima at 30–40 °C and 35–40 °C, respectively. Moreover, the examined Klebsormidium strain demonstrates traits associated with cave adaptation, i.e., by high light utilisation factor (α) and diminished light adaptation parameter (Ik) values.
Wait for Me: Chronic Mental Illness and Experiences of Time During the Pandemic
Authors: Zelvin Lindsey Beth 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
As someone diagnosed with severe chronic mental illness early in my adolescence, I have spent over half of my life feeling out of step with the rest of the world due to hospitalizations, treatment programs, and the disruptions caused by anxiety, anorexia, depression, and obsessive–compulsive disorder. The effect of my mental health conditions compounded by these treatment environments means I often feel that I experience time passing differently, which results in sensations of removal and isolation from those around me. The global shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic seemed a way for normative bodies to experience the passing of time the way I always have. In this paper, I extend Dr. Sara Wasson’s analysis of the ways in which chronic pain resists narrative coherence to my own temporal experience of chronic mental illness, specifically my embodied experience of the pandemic. I use that embodied experience as a case study for examining how the reciprocal nature of time and narrativity, as outlined by Dr. Paul Ricoeur, can create isolation for those struggling with their temporality due to chronic mental illness. To acknowledge and grapple with the ramifications of discursive and material privilege involved in such situations, I include an analysis of Robert Desjarlais’s 1994 article “Struggling Along: The Possibilities for Experience among the Homeless Mentally Ill,” in which he investigates a similar phenomenon of being outside of structured sequential narrative time in the residents of a Boston shelter for the mentally ill.
Narcissism Moderates the Association Between Autonomy-Supportive Parenting and Adolescents’ Prosocial Behavior
Authors: Lan Xiaoyu , Ma Chunhua 
Published: December 2023

AbstractPrior research has separately investigated the associations of autonomy-supportive parenting and narcissism with adolescents’ prosocial behavior, but their joint relationships with prosocial behavior have been rarely examined. The present research aimed to expand the existing literature by scrutinizing the main and interactive associations of autonomy-supportive parenting and narcissism with adolescents’ prosocial behavior. In so doing, a series of four studies (collectively N = 2023), combining cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental designs, were conducted. The adolescents’ mean age varied from 12.42 to 15.70 years, with a balanced representation of the sexes in those studies. Converging results across four studies showed that high narcissism magnified the positive association between autonomy-supportive parenting and adolescents’ prosocial behavior. The interaction pattern presented also suggested adolescents with high narcissism scores were more affected than others—both for better and for worse—by autonomy-supportive parenting, although this interaction might be specific to particular facets of prosocial behavior. These results were robust after adjusting for a few key covariates and survived a set of additional analyses. The present findings provide a novel avenue to explain individual differences linking prosocial behavior with those two factors and further advance precise, individualized strategies to promote adolescents’ prosocial behavior.

Published: December 2023

AbstractShakhmatkin and Vedishcheva thermodynamic model (SV TDM) of 45S5 bioglass was evaluated at T = 800 K. From 42 considered system components, only 7 components (Na2O⋅SiO2, Na2O⋅3CaO⋅6SiO2, 3CaO⋅2SiO2, CaO⋅SiO2, 9Na2O⋅6SiO2⋅2P2O5, 2CaO⋅SiO2, and Na2O⋅2CaO⋅P2O5) were present in significant equilibrium molar amount. The calculated Q-distribution of silicate units (22.6% of Q3, 63.1% of Q2, 10.1% of Q1, and 4.2% of Q0) was compared with the Q-distribution for so-called crystalline reference state (6.3% of Q3, 93.7% of Q2). Further, both Q-distributions were compared with the MAS NMR experimental data published by different authors (e.g. 33.3% of Q3, 54.5% of Q2, and 12.2% of Q1, or 17.8% of Q3, 76.7% of Q2, and 5.5% of Q1). It was concluded that there is no principal difference between SV TDM and MAS NMR distributions of silicate units. Further the Q-distribution of phosphate units was analysed. The CRS resulted in 100% presence of Q0 units (i.e. PO
4
3−
). The SV TDM resulted in significantly broader distribution, i.e. 4.5% of Q2, 10.4% of Q1, and 85.1% of Q0. This distribution is comparable with those obtained by MAS NMR (e.g. 26.7% of Q1 and 73.3% of Q0).

Abstract
Introduction
An unprecedented shortage of infant formula occurred in the United States (U.S.) in 2022 and posed widespread challenges to infant feeding nationwide. The purpose of this study is to investigate mothers’ experiences during the 2022 infant formula shortage and its perceived impacts on infants’ diet and health.

Methods
Mothers (n = 45) of infants under 8 months old from Washington D.C. were invited to participate in a virtual study meeting during the summer of 2022. Mothers completed surveys regarding their demographics, infants’ anthropometrics, infant feeding practices, information they have received about infant feeding, and knowledge about infant feeding practices. They then participated in a qualitative interview about their experiences during the infant formula shortage.

Results
Overarching themes were: the shortage (1) had adverse impacts on mothers’ mental and emotional health; (2) had significant financial and intangible costs; (3) led to changes in infant feeding practices; (4) social and family networks were helpful in navigating the shortage; and (5) mothers felt fortunate to have resources to breastfeed and/or obtain formula.

Discussion
The infant formula shortage adversely impacted mothers’ mental and emotional health, and was costly, in terms of financial and intangible costs. Findings demonstrate the need to develop clinical and policy approaches to support mothers in feeding their infants and provide education about safe infant feeding practices.
Analytical and numerical stability analysis of a toroidal wheel with nonholonomic constraints
Authors: G. Agúndez A. , García-Vallejo D. , Freire E. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractIn this paper, a detailed and comprehensive linear stability analysis of a rolling toroidal wheel is performed. The wheel is modeled as a rigid toroid-shaped body rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface. The nonlinear equations of motion constitute a Differential-Algebraic Equations system, given by the dynamic equilibrium equations augmented with the nonholonomic constraints, which arise from the no-slip condition. The circular steady motion and the linearized equations of motion along this relative equilibrium are obtained, for both the solid and hollow tori. The expressions of the linearized equations and the corresponding eigenvalues are derived analytically as a function of the torus aspect ratio. The variation of the stability boundary with the torus aspect ratio is shown. A comparison of the results obtained in the solid and hollow scenarios is included, and all the results are validated with the rolling hoop, which corresponds to a degenerate torus with zero aspect ratio. In the particular case of the steady straight-line rolling and spinning about a vertical diameter, which constitute limit motions of the circular steady motion, the critical rotational and angular speeds required for stabilization are obtained.
The ambiguity of BERTology: what do large language models represent?
Authors: Buder-Gröndahl Tommi 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe field of “BERTology” aims to locate linguistic representations in large language models (LLMs). These have commonly been interpreted as representing structural descriptions (SDs) familiar from theoretical linguistics, such as abstract phrase-structures. However, it is unclear how such claims should be interpreted in the first place. This paper identifies six possible readings of “linguistic representation” from philosophical and linguistic literature, concluding that none has a straight-forward application to BERTology. In philosophy, representations are typically analyzed as cognitive vehicles individuated by intentional content. This clashes with a prevalent mentalist interpretation of linguistics, which treats SDs as (narrow) properties of cognitive vehicles themselves. I further distinguish between three readings of both kinds, and discuss challenges each brings for BERTology. In particular, some readings would make it trivially false to assign representations of SDs to LLMs, while others would make it trivially true. I illustrate this with the concrete case study of structural probing: a dominant model-interpretation technique. To improve the present situation, I propose that BERTology should adopt a more “LLM-first” approach instead of relying on pre-existing linguistic theories developed for orthogonal purposes.
Expected utility, independence, and continuity
Authors: Ozbek Kemal 
Published: December 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we provide two novel expected utility theorems by suitably adjusting the independence and continuity axioms. Our first theorem characterizes expected utility preferences using weak versions of the independence axiom (with varying mixture weights) and a new weak continuity axiom. Our second theorem characterizes these preferences using weaker versions of the independence axiom (with mixture weights fixed at 1/2) and a strong topological continuity axiom. We provide useful examples to illustrate the tightness of these characterizations.

Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of MRI findings to differentiate malignant transformation arising from mature cystic teratoma (MT-MCT) of the ovary from benign mature cystic teratoma (BMCT).

Materials and methods
This study included 11 patients with histopathologically proven MT-MCT and 50 with BMCT. Overall, 7 patients with MT-MCT and all 50 with BMCT underwent unenhanced and contrast-enhanced MRIs and 4 with MT-MCT only underwent unenhanced MRIs. The MRI findings were evaluated and compared between the two diseases.

Results
The median age (55 vs. 38 years, p < 0.01) and maximum diameter (109 vs. 65 mm, p < 0.01) were higher in MT-MCT than in BMCT. Fat component occupancy was lower in MT-MCT than in BMCT (median, 5% vs. 63%, p < 0.01). Only MT-MCT exhibited irregular tumor margins (64%), peritoneal dissemination (18%), and abnormal ascites (27%). The solid components were more commonly observed in MT-MCT than in BMCT (100% vs. 32%, p < 0.01) on contrast-enhanced images. The maximum diameter of solid components in MT-MCT was larger than that in BMCT (median, 61 mm vs. 14 mm, p < 0.01). In MT-MCT, the common configuration of solid components was endophytic or exophytic sessile (85%), whereas in BMCT, it was endophytic papillary (88%).

Conclusion
Compared with BMCT, MT-MCT demonstrated a larger maximum diameter, lower occupancy rate of fat components, and sessile solid components. The characteristic configuration of solid components was endophytic or exophytic sessile in MT-MCT and endophytic papillary in BMCT.

AbstractThe sensitivity of air quality model responses to modifications in input data (e.g. emissions, meteorology and boundary conditions) or model configurations is recognized as an important issue for air quality modelling applications in support of air quality plans. In the framework of FAIRMODE (Forum of Air Quality Modelling in Europe, https://fairmode.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) a dedicated air quality modelling exercise has been designed to address this issue. The main goal was to evaluate the magnitude and variability of air quality model responses when studying emission scenarios/projections by assessing the changes of model output in response to emission changes. This work is based on several air quality models that are used to support model users and developers, and, consequently, policy makers. We present the FAIRMODE exercise and the participating models, and provide an analysis of the variability of O3 and PM concentrations due to emission reduction scenarios. The key novel feature, in comparison with other exercises, is that emission reduction strategies in the present work are applied and evaluated at urban scale over a large number of cities using new indicators such as the absolute potential, the relative potential and the absolute potency. The results show that there is a larger variability of concentration changes between models, when the emission reduction scenarios are applied, than for their respective baseline absolute concentrations. For ozone, the variability between models of absolute baseline concentrations is below 10%, while the variability of concentration changes (when emissions are similarly perturbed) exceeds, in some instances 100% or higher during episodes. Combined emission reductions are usually more efficient than the sum of single precursor emission reductions both for O3 and PM. In particular for ozone, model responses, in terms of linearity and additivity, show a clear impact of non-linear chemistry processes. This analysis gives an insight into the impact of model’ sensitivity to emission reductions that may be considered when designing air quality plans and paves the way of more in-depth analysis to disentangle the role of emissions from model formulation for present and future air quality assessments.
Robot-Mediated Nudges for Workplace Health: Not a One-Size-Fits-All Modeling Problem

AbstractProlonged sedentary behavior in the vast population of office and remote workers leads to increased cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health challenges, and existing solutions for encouraging breaks are either costly health coaches or notification systems that are easily ignored. A socially assistive robot (SAR) for promoting healthy workplace practices could provide the physical presence of a health coach along with the scalability of a notification system. To investigate the impact of such a system, we implemented a SAR as an alternative break-taking support solution and examined its impact on individual users’ break-taking habits over relatively long-term deployments. We conducted an initial two-month-long study (N = 7) to begin to understand the robot’s influence beyond the point of novelty, and we followed up with a week-long data collection (N = 14) to augment the dataset size. The resulting data was used to inform a robot behavior model and formulate possible methods of personalizing robot behaviors. We found that uninterrupted sitting time tended to decrease with our SAR intervention. During model formulation, we found participant responsiveness to the break-taking prompts could be classified into three archetypes and that archetype-specific adjustments to the general model led to improved system success. These results indicate that break-taking prompts are not a one-size-fits-all problem, and that even a small dataset can support model personalization for improving the success of assistive robotic systems.

AbstractSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of stroke with a high disability and mortality rate. Apoptosis caused by massive damage to mitochondria in neuron cells and inflammatory responses caused by high extracellular ATP lead to poor outcomes. USP30 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that inhibits mitophagy, resulting in a failure to remove damaged mitochondria in a timely manner after SAH; nevertheless, the pathway through which USP30 inhibits mitophagy is unknown. This study evaluated the neuroprotective role and possible molecular basis by which inhibiting USP30 to attenuate SAH-induced EBI by promoting neuronal mitophagy. We used an in vitro model of hemoglobin exposure and an in vivo model of intravascular perforation. Increased expression of USP30 was found after SAH in vivo and in vitro, and USP30 inhibition expression in SAH mice treated with MF094 resulted in significant improvement of neurological injury and inflammatory response and mediated good outcomes, suggesting a neuroprotective effect of USP30 inhibition. In cultured neurons, inhibition of USP30 promoted ubiquitination modification of mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (MFN2) by E3 ubiquitin ligase (Parkin), separating damaged mitochondria from the healthy mitochondrial network and prompting mitophagy, causing early clearance of damaged intracellular mitochondria, and reducing the onset of apoptosis. The high extracellular ATP environment was meliorated, reversing the conversion of microglia to a pro-inflammatory phenotype and reducing inflammatory injury. USP30 inhibition had no autophagy-promoting effect on structurally and functionally sound mitochondria and did not inhibit normal intracellular ATP production. The findings suggest that USP30 inhibition has a neuroprotective effect after SAH by promoting early mitophagy after SAH to clear damaged mitochondria.

AbstractPitch angle distributions (PADs) in the radiation belts are well characterized with sinn(α). By tracking the exponent “n,” termed pitch angle index, we are able to observe persistent and cross‐energy changes in PADs of Van Allen radiation belt electrons using Van Allen Probes particle observations. The PAD measurements are well fit down to a single satellite spin, and therefore can track spatially and temporally confined changes to determine the connection between particles and waves. With this method, we study long‐lasting and high‐energy anisotropic electron PADs during a quiet period over 2 days, 26 and 27 June 2013. One potential driver for these changes is electromagnetic ion cyclotron wave interaction with the particles. We use several ground magnetometer stations from Canadian Array for Realtime Investigations of Magnetic Activity and Finnish pulsation magnetometer network of Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory to observe waves during the 2 days of interest. The connection between the waves and particles is inconclusive, although there is some temporal overlap of the phenomenon.
Investigation of the Occurrence Characteristics and Possible Origins of Daytime Spread F Irregularities in Low Latitude Region

Published: December 2023

AbstractA study of occurrence characteristics and morphology of daytime spread F (DSF) irregularities was conducted using ionosonde from 2013 to 2020 over low‐latitude Puer station in the China sector. In this study, a day with two or more consecutive F‐region diffuse echo ionograms within one hour from local sunrise to sunset at an altitude of 250 km is considered a DSF day. The results show that the DSF irregularities observed in different solar activity years have a similar seasonal distribution, manifesting as frequent occurrences in June solstice with a maximum occurrence near sunrise. Furthermore, the morphology of most DSFs on the ionograms is predominantly frequency spread F, with a few observed near sunrise as MSF and RSF. In contrast to in high solar activity years (HSAY, 2013–2015), an interesting phenomenon of DSF irregularities in low solar activity years (LSAY, 2016–2020) is presented. That is, in the late afternoon hours (15–18 LT), DSFs have an unexpectedly high occurrence rate during the December solstice. By analyzing the virtual height variations for iso‐frequency plots of the DSF event occurring in the afternoon, these DSF irregularities were found to be likely associated with daytime medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs). Compared with the observed characteristics of the nighttime spread F, the fossils of nighttime plasma bubbles irregularities might play a key role in the development of DSF occurring in the early morning. At the same time, the influence of daytime MSTIDs on DSF irregularities occurring in the late afternoon hours cannot be ignored.
