Context. Deriving physical parameters from integrated galaxy spectra is paramount to interpret the cosmic evolution of the star formation, chemical enrichment, and energetic processes at play. Previous studies have highlighted the power of interstellar medium tracers but also the associated complexities that can be captured only through sophisticated modeling approaches.
Aims. We developed modeling techniques to characterize the ionized gas properties in the subset of 2052 star-forming galaxies from the volume-limited, dwarf-dominated, z ∼ 0 ECO catalog (stellar mass range M* ∼ 108 − 11 M⊙). Our study sheds light on the internal distribution and average values of parameters such as the metallicity, ionization parameter, and electron density within galaxies.
Methods. We used the MULTIGRIS statistical framework to evaluate the performance of various models using strong lines as constraints. The reference model involves physical parameters distributed as power laws with free parameter boundaries. Specifically, we used combinations of 1D photoionization models (i.e., considering the propagation of radiation toward a single cloud) to match optical H II region lines, in order to provide probability density functions of the inferred parameters.
Results. The inference predicts nonuniform physical conditions within galaxies. The integrated spectra of most galaxies are dominated by relatively low-excitation gas with a metallicity around 0.3 Z⊙. Using the average metallicity in galaxies, we provide a new fit to the mass-metallicity relationship which is in line with direct abundance method determinations from the low-metallicity calibrated range up to high-metallicity stacks. The average metallicity shows a weakly bimodal distribution which may be due to external (e.g., refueling of non-cluster early-type galaxies) or internal processes (higher star-formation efficiency in metal-rich regions). The specific line set used for inference affects the results and we identify potential issues with the use of the [S II] line doublet.
Conclusions. Complex modeling approaches may capture diverse physical conditions within galaxies but require robust statistical frameworks. Such approaches are limited by the inherent 1D model database as well as caveats regarding the gas geometry. Our results highlight, however, the possibility to extract useful and significant information from integrated spectra.

Published: February 2025

Background The criteria for diagnosing sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) may overlap with those of Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This study determined if the diagnostic criteria of SIC overlap with JAAM DIC diagnostic criteria for identifying patients with DIC according to the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria and whether the patients diagnosed with these criteria have the same prognosis.
Methods This multicenter retrospective study included patients with sepsis diagnosed using the JAAM and ISTH DIC and SIC criteria on days 1 and 4. The established ISTH DIC criteria was the reference standard for primary outcome that compared the characteristics of SIC and JAAM DIC. Secondary outcomes were multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), ventilator-free and intensive care unit–free days, and in-hospital mortality.
Results A total of 1,438 patients were included in this study. On day 1, the JAAM DIC and SIC criteria diagnosed almost all patients with ISTH DIC (98 and 94%, respectively), predicting ISTH DIC (area under the receiver operating curve [AUC]: 0.740 versus 0.752, p = 0.523) and MODS (AUC: 0.686 versus 0.697, p = 0.546) on day 4 and progressing to ISTH DIC in the same proportion (28.6 versus 30.1%, p = 0.622). There were no differences in survival probabilities (p = 0.196) or secondary outcomes between patients diagnosed using JAAM DIC and SIC criteria on day 1.
Conclusion SIC and JAAM DIC diagnoses were equal among patients with sepsis, suggesting that SIC criteria add little to current DIC scoring systems.
Enantioselective Wittig Reactions Controlled by PIII/PV=O Redox Catalysis
Authors: Sparr Christof , Jana Kalipada 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe development of catalytic PIII/PV=O redox processes has transformed the Wittig reaction, traditionally plagued by stoichiometric phosphine oxide byproducts, into an efficient and more benign method for synthesizing alkenes. Recently, the feasibility of enantioselective PIII/PV=O redox catalysis was demonstrated by using chiral phosphine catalysts, such as HypPhos. For example, an atroposelective Wittig reaction using Boc-MBH adducts, where endogenous base release facilitates ylide formation and acid co-catalysis, allows enantiocontrol and effective PIII/PV=O redox cycling, while catalyst-stereocontrolled enantioselective Wittig reactions generally extend the scope and sustainability of the synthesis of complex molecules.1	Introduction

Expanding the Reach of Laparoscopic Surgery: Combined Methylene Blue and Embolization Coil Marking for Preoperative Abdominal Tumor Localization
Authors: O'Sullivan Brendan , McCann Bradley J. , Hinton Kurtis A. , Yeisley Christopher D. , Krishnakurup Prasad 
Published: February 2025

AbstractSmall lesions present a technical challenge for surgical excision due to poor intraoperative localization laparoscopically, resulting in suboptimal outcomes such as conversion to laparotomy. Here, we present the case of a 79-year-old man who underwent computed tomography–guided localization of a small right paracolic gutter soft tissue lesion. This allowed the surgeon to easily identify the tumor laparoscopically allowing for a less invasive resection. By increasing cases performed via laparoscopy instead of an open approach, image-guided preoperative localization can lead to improved patient outcomes

Published: February 2025

AbstractAcute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss (ALHL), first reported in 1982, is characterized by hearing loss (HL), tinnitus, and other auditory symptoms. It is a disease entity independent from sudden HL. Although the severity of HL was defined for the first time in 2015 by the Research Group on Intractable Hearing Impairment of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, only a few studies have examined the treatment outcomes by the severity of HL. In this study, we determined the overall cure rate (cure/all cases) in 336 ALHL cases treated over 11 years (2011–2021) and the cure rates by the severity of the HL and steroid use. The overall cure rate was 64.0%, with 75.0% in cases with grade 1 severity, 74.3% in grade 2, 57.4% in grade 3, and 34.7% in grade 4. The cure rate in grade ¾ cases was significantly lower than that in grade ½ cases. No significant difference was noted in the cure rate by steroid use. The cure rate of sudden HL is dependent on the hearing level at the initial diagnosis, and the cure rate of ALHL can be predicted by the sum of the hearing levels of the three lowest frequencies at the initial diagnosis. Although this study did not demonstrate the efficacy of steroid use, the study design biased the sample population. ALHL is associated with higher recurrence than sudden HL; however, steroids have various side effects. Therefore, the appropriateness of steroid use in the treatment of ALHL should be determined by a thorough assessment of comorbidities, patient age, and disease severity.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Background Maxillofacial trauma is quite commonly encountered either in isolation or in association with polytrauma. The present observational study aims to analyze the changing trends of maxillofacial injuries and mull over some probable reasons for the same.
Materials and Methods This is an observational retrospective study done at a tertiary care center in Mumbai, India, for a period of 12 years (2008–2019) after getting clearance from the institutional ethics committee. All patients who were admitted in the plastic surgery unit with maxillofacial trauma were included in the study and data were collected from case record sheets in the archives of the department. The data obtained were tabulated and analyzed.
Results A total 1,046 patients were included in the study. The most common age group involved was 21 to 30 years (50.19%). Males outnumbered females in terms of hospital admissions (92.7 vs. 7.3%). Road traffic accidents (RTA) were found to be the major etiological factor (72.27%). Out of 756 RTA victims, 533 (70.5%) were due to two-wheeler accidents. In the present study, the zygomaticomaxillary complex (middle third) was most commonly fractured (40.73%) followed by the mandible (38.91%). Panfacial fractures (i.e., those involving at least two facial thirds) comprised 10.71% of all the cases.
Conclusion The incidence of maxillofacial trauma is showing an increasing trend in the recent past. The majority of the patients are victims of RTAs and two-wheeler accidents are increasingly responsible for such injuries. The classical injury patterns and the fracture patterns that were described in the past are not routinely observed now. The injury and fracture pattern itself has become more complex. We observed a statistically significant raise in midface fractures in our study.
Superoxide anion (O2−) collisions with CO2 molecules in the energy range of 50–950 eV

Published: February 2025

A novel gas-phase molecular scattering study is reported for O2− collisions with CO2 for impact energies ranging from 50 to 950 eV in the lab frame. The absolute total electron detachment, relative total, and partial ionization cross sections have been measured within this energy range together with the positive ion yields. The primary anionic beam projectile is produced in a pulsed hollow cathode discharge induced plasma, and its interactions with the neutral molecular target occur in a gas cell at a well-known constant pressure. For impact energies above 500 eV, high mass (m &gt; 44 u) charged complexes have been detected. With the aid of a theoretical study using ab initio methods, we propose a mechanism to infer the formation of these cationic species, which have been assigned to projectile–target stable compounds (CO3+ and CO4+).
Boroxol ring dissolution in molten and glassy B2O3 by neutron and x-ray diffraction difference methods
Authors: Alderman O. L. G. 
Published: February 2025

The structure of 11B2O3 boron oxide glass and its liquid have been measured over a wide temperature range by pulsed neutron diffraction, from T = 14 K up to 1500 K. Contrary to prior neutron scattering results in the literature, thermal expansion of the B–O bond is resolved, with a coefficient of αBO = 4.1(3) ppm K−1, in quantitative agreement with the result previously derived by high-energy x-ray diffraction. Exploiting the scattering contrast between neutrons and x rays, difference functions are derived that eliminate contributions due to O–O pairs, revealing, for the first time, the nearest-neighbor B–B peak in the pair distribution function. This peak occurs at rBB = 2.430(1) Å in B2O3 glass, consistent with a mean B–O–B bond angle β ≃ 124° and a large boroxol ring fraction. In the liquid, a much larger rBB ≃ 2.54 Å and β ≃ 134° are indicative of either a much lower ring fraction f, a larger non-ring B–O–B bond angle, βNR, or a combination of both. The latter scenario is supported by comparison to a range of molecular dynamics models with varying boroxol ring fractions.

Context In Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos), goat numbers are rapidly growing and have the potential to improve rural and economic development through income generation. Aims To implement a goat research and development program and benchmark and evaluate smallholder practices. Methods In the first year (2020), forage growing was facilitated through formal and on-the-job monthly training. In Year 2 (2021), local staff were trained in inexpensive and locally available veterinary treatments of goats. Mineral blocks were introduced with a 50% subsidy, following a 2-month trial period. In Year 3 (2022), metal roofing material was provided to households that constructed new goat houses with elevated and slatted flooring. Annualised farmer benchmarking surveys (BMS) and monthly household surveys (MHS) monitored farmer practice change between 2020–2023 and 2021–2022 respectively. Key results The BMS and the MHS confirmed significant rises in the proportion of farmers using mineral blocks between 2020 and 2023 at 303% (P < 0.001) and between 2021 and 2022 at 53% respectively. The BMS and MHS also reflected an increase in the proportion of farmers growing forages between 2020 and 2023 (204%) and between 2021 and 2022 (9%), a decrease in the proportion of households treating sick goats with drugs between 2020 and 2023 (47%) and between 2021 and 2022 (53%), and an increase in the proportion of farmers providing concentrate feed between 2020 and 2023 (34%) and between 2021 and 2022 (increased from 0 to 4.2%) respectively. Conclusions Mineral blocks have a high potential for adoption with a trial and subsidisation period. It is recommended to increase daily grazing duration from 6–8 h to be as long as practical to reduce the impacts of late dry-season feed shortages (April–May), which coincided with a natural peak in kidding. Average goat herd size increased by three goats over the course of the project, which may reflect improved financial security as livestock are a form of asset storage. Implications These trends show short-term practice change; however, further research is needed to verify whether these changes increase goat growth rate, health and kid survival.
A double-edged sword

Abstract
This article examines Brazil’s LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Churches movement, focusing on the online discourse of the
Igreja Cristã Contemporânea (“Contemporary Christian Church”), supposedly the country’s most welcoming
religious space for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Employing a Foucauldian Critical Discourse Analysis, it studies how the church’s
discourse can help naturalize normative ideas of LGBTQIA+ identities. Data is retrieved from the church’s website, a series of
eight YouTube videos, and their comment sections. Results indicate that despite welcoming LGBTQIA+ believers and acting as an
inclusive religious space, the church follows prescriptive behaviors rooted in cis-het and homonormativity. Regardless of its
LGBTQIA+ positive self-representation and ingroup affirmation approach, the church propagates a “queer” discourse embedded in
traditional beliefs toward sexual relationships and practices, marriage, and parochial obedience.
Spin–orbit torque in a three-fold-symmetric bilayer and its effect on magnetization dynamics
Authors: Fang Wuzhang , Schwartz Edward , Kovalev Alexey A , Belashchenko K D 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Field-free switching of perpendicular magnetization has previously been observed in an epitaxial L11-ordered CoPt/CuPt bilayer and attributed to spin–orbit torque (SOT) arising from the crystallographic 3m point group of the interface. Using a first-principles nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism combined with the Anderson disorder model, we calculate the angular dependence of the SOT in a CoPt/CuPt bilayer and find that the magnitude of the 3m SOT is about 20% of the conventional dampinglike SOT. We further study the magnetization dynamics in perpendicularly magnetized films in the presence of 3m SOT and Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, using the equations of motion for domain wall dynamics and micromagnetic simulations. For systems where strong interfacial DMI results in the Néel character of domain walls, we find that a very large current density is required to achieve deterministic switching, because reorientation of the magnetization inside the domain wall is necessary to induce the switching asymmetry. For thicker films with relatively weak interfacial DMI and the Bloch character of domain walls, deterministic switching is possible at much smaller current densities, which may explain the recent experimental findings.

Visual detection of moving stacked objects based on efficient multi-scale grouping and improved multi-head self-attention
Authors: Fei Sheng-wei , Zhang Hao-jie 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
To address the issue of fruit stacking and obstructing target fruits during daily fruit sorting, this paper presents a novel object detection algorithm that leverages efficient multi-scale grouping and enhanced multi-head self-attention. The proposed target detection algorithm is based on real-time detection transformer (RT-DETR) as the baseline to simplify optimization challenges and enhance robustness. Additionally, we introduce efficient multi-scale attention to preserve channel information, optimize the multi-head self-attention, and adopt cascade grouping to reduce computational redundancy. Furthermore, we use a new loss function (Inner-MPDIoU) combined with a bounding box similarity comparison metric (MPDIoU) and inner idea to enhance the accuracy of detecting moving occluded targets. Experimental results demonstrate that the optimized RT-DETR algorithm achieves an average accuracy of 96.3% in detecting moving stacked fruit models with a detection speed of up to 67 FPS. This confirms the effectiveness of our algorithm in matching and recognizing blocked fruit targets, surpassing common algorithms for recognizing obstructed targets.
A non-rigid automatic registration method of multi-temporal mobile laser scanning point clouds based on road short marking features
Authors: Wang Fei , Liu Guolin , Liu Rufei 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Because of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal occlusion, inertial measurement unit drift and other factors on positioning, location deviations of multi-temporal mobile laser scanning (MLS) point clouds collected in the same region are always exist. In order to improve the quality of multi-temporal MLS point clouds, it is necessary to correct the location deviations by point cloud registration. This work presents a non-rigid automatic registration method of multi-temporal MLS laser point clouds based on the characteristics of short road markings. Specifically, the central points at both end edges of short road markings were extracted as control points. The correspondences between control points in different point clouds were obtained by KD-tree and optimized by polygon similarity and Otsu methods. Then, based on the GNSS time and coordinate difference of true correspondences, the mathematical model of non-rigid registration adjustment was constructed by combining with gross error detection and polynomial fitting. Finally, multi-temporal MLS point clouds were registered according to the GNSS time and adjustment results. Validation results demonstrate that the registration accuracy reaches up to 2.8 cm. The proposed method provides a new way for high-precision fusion and change detection of multi-temporal MLS point clouds in road scenes.
