AbstractBackgroundUsing Otoplan software, it is possible to measure the cochlea before cochlear implant surgery. Until now, computed tomography (CT) of the cochlea has been necessary for this purpose. The aim of this study was to find out whether measuring the cochlea with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using Otoplan is possible with the same accuracy.MethodsThe cochlea of 44 patients of the local cochlear implant centre was measured by Otoplan using high-resolution CT-bone and MRI images, and the determined lengths were compared.ResultsNo significant difference was found between the cochlear lengths measured, regardless of whether the length measurement was based on a CT or an MRI data set.ConclusionFor the determination of cochlear length prior to cochlear implant surgery, MRI images are just as suitable as CT images, therefore CT is not mandatory for length measurement by Otoplan, which could reduce the patient's radiation exposure.
Sustaining gender: Natural resource management, conflict prevention, and the UN Sustaining Peace agenda in times of climate catastrophe
Authors: Ryan Caitlin , Martín de Almagro María 
Published: February 2024

AbstractClimate change and its potentially violent consequences for international peace and security have transformed the United Nations (UN) approach to Sustaining Peace. One of the emblematic initiatives of this new approach is the UN Joint Programme for Women, Natural Resources, Climate, and Peace. We use feminist peace scholarship to consider what the recent debates about who builds peace and where peace is built in Peace Studies and Environmental Peacebuilding miss when they treat concepts of ‘scale’ and local natural resource management as gender-neutral and what this might tell us about the wider UN Peacebuilding agenda in which it is situated. We make three claims. First, we claim that gendered relations of power that leverage women for win–win opportunities of peace and gender equality (re)produce an idea of a feminised, self-contained local. Second, we demonstrate that this makes it possible to reproduce the dominant political order that privileges intervention, and the dominant economic order that is occupied with forcing ‘local’ economies to adapt their natural resource management strategies. Third, we argue that assuming that ‘the who’ and ‘the where’ of building peace is local makes it much harder to ask about how the conditions of possibility for violence transcend scales.

AbstractBackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic created many challenges for in-patient care including patient isolation and limitations on hospital visitation. Although communication technology, such as video calling or texting, can reduce social isolation, there are challenges for implementation, particularly for older adults.Objective/MethodsThis study used a mixed methodology to understand the challenges faced by in-patients and to explore the perspectives of patients, family members, and health care providers (HCPs) regarding the use of communication technology. Surveys and focus groups were used.FindingsPatients who had access to communication technology perceived the COVID-19 pandemic to have more adverse impact on their well-beings but less on hospitalization outcomes, compared to those without. Most HCPs perceived that technology could improve programs offered, connectedness of patients to others, and access to transitions of care supports. Focus groups highlighted challenges with technology infrastructure in hospitals.DiscussionOur study findings may assist efforts in appropriately adopting communication technology to improve the quality of in-patient and transition care.
Equitable access to evidence-based treatment for eating disorders for patients with low-income: identifying barriers and exploring solutions
Authors: Bailey-Straebler Suzanne , Glasofer Deborah R. , Ojeda Jessica , Attia Evelyn 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Eating disorders are equally prevalent across socioeconomic status, and yet individuals facing socioeconomic adversity are far less likely to receive evidence-based treatments. A range of barriers contribute to this disparity, including limited awareness and provider training about eating disorders leading to underdiagnosis; a shortage of available services and long waitlists due to a lack of trained therapists, associated treatment costs (e.g. transportation expenses and costly treatment materials) and an insufficient understanding of the impact of an individual’s cultural context. While these barriers are experienced by many individuals with eating disorders, those with low income are particularly vulnerable. To ensure equitable access to effective eating disorder treatment, therapists should actively consider and address the barriers faced by these patients. In this paper, we share guidance based on our experience treating a socioeconomically diverse patient population, on factors to consider when extending the reach of recommended psychological treatments for eating disorders and suggest areas of future research. We emphasize the opportunities available to therapists to improve equity in eating disorders treatment by making accommodations that enhance access to existing evidence-based approaches rather than by making modifications to the treatments.

Key learning aims

(1)
To identify obstacles experienced by individuals with eating disorders and low income in accessing and engaging in treatment.

(2)
To learn practical strategies to reduce or eliminate barriers preventing the uptake of evidence-based psychological eating disorder interventions for individuals with low income.

(3)
To appreciate the intersectionality of low income with other factors impacting equity of eating disorder treatment access.
Which global constitution? The illiberal globalism of the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision
Authors: Espino Giuliano 
Published: February 2024

AbstractFostering global constitutional discourse has long been anathema to the conservative legal movement within the United States. In Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Services, which overturned Roe v Wade’s right to an abortion, the court’s conservative justices relied on a globalized analysis. In this article, I identify three potential hypotheses to explain this deviation from conservative orthodoxy. Dobbs’ conservative globalism could be explained by attitudinal preferences, legitimation concerns or the influence of illiberal legal networks. I compare the proceedings of Dobbs against Carson v Makin and Kennedy v Bremerton School District, the other significant Constitutional cases from the court’s 2021–22 term, to deal with religious issues. These two other cases did not feature global citations, despite such citations being able to advance the Justices’ policy preferences or blunt legitimation concerns. Lending credence to the illiberal network hypothesis, Alito’s Dobbs opinion was reliant on a unique amicus briefing by a global network of anti-abortion scholars advocating on behalf of the natural family. Such network campaigns were absent from the proceedings of Carson and Kennedy.

Published: February 2024

AbstractOn glacial‐interglacial time scales, changes in the Earth's orbital configuration control climate seasonality and mean conditions. Tropical coral skeletons can be sampled at a sufficient resolution to reconstruct past seasonality. Here, last deglacial Porites skeletons from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 310 to Tahiti are investigated and, supported by a modern calibration, monthly resolved time series in geochemical proxies (Sr/Ca, δ18O, δ13C) are constructed. For most of the deglaciation, Sr/Ca seasonality was similar to modern (0.139 ± 0.010 mmol mol−1; 2.8 ± 0.2°C) reflecting the small change in insolation seasonality. However, during the Younger Dryas, high values in Sr/Ca seasonality (0.171 ± 0.017 mmol mol−1; 3.4 ± 0.3°C) suggest a reduced mixed layer depth and enhanced influence of the South Pacific Subtropical Gyre due to South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) inactivity. Furthermore, high amplitudes in Younger Dryas skeletal δ18O (0.40 ± 0.22 ‰) and δ13C (0.86 ± 0.22 ‰) seasonality compared to modern (δ18O = 0.29 ± 0.08 ‰; δ13C = 0.27 ± 0.08 ‰) point to elevated winter‐summer discrepancies in rainfall and runoff. Mean coral Sr/Ca variability suggests an influence of Northern Hemisphere climate events, such as the Younger Dryas cooling (+0.134 ± 0.012 mmol mol−1;−2.6 ± 0.2°C), or the Bølling–Allerød warming (+0.032 ± 0.040 mmol mol−1; −0.6 ± 0.4°C). Deglacial mean coral Δδ18O (δ18Oseawater contribution to skeletal δ18O), corrected for the ice volume effect, was elevated pointing to more saline, thus dryer conditions, likely due to a northward migration of the SPCZ. Seasonal cycles in coral δ13C were likely caused by variations in linear extension rates that were reduced during the last deglaciation (1.00 ± 0.6 cm year−1) compared to today (1.6 ± 0.3 cm year−1).
Energetic Particle Precipitation in Sub‐Auroral Polarization Streams

Published: February 2024

AbstractSub‐auroral polarization streams (SAPS) are one of the most intense manifestations of magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling. Magnetospheric energy transport to the ionosphere within SAPS is associated with Poynting flux and the precipitation of thermal energy (0.03–30 keV) plasma sheet particles. However, much less is known about the precipitation of high‐energy (≥50 keV) ions and electrons and their contribution to the low‐altitude SAPS physics. This study examines precipitation within one SAPS event using a combination of equatorial THEMIS and low‐altitude DMSP and ELFIN observations, which, jointly, cover from a few eV up to a few MeV energy range. Observed SAPS are embedding the ion isotropy boundary, which includes strong 300–1,000 keV ion precipitation. SAPS are associated with intense precipitation of relativistic electrons (≤3 MeV), well equatorward of the electron isotropy boundary. Such relativistic electron precipitation is likely due to electron scattering by electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves at the equator.
A Study on Key Determinants in Enhancing Storm Surges Along the Coast: Interplay Between Tropical Cyclone Motion and Coastal Geometry
Authors: Qian Xiaojuan , Hwang Sooncheol , Son Sangyoung 
Published: February 2024

AbstractGeneralizing the relationship between cyclonic features and storm surges remains challenging because previous studies have produced diverse results for different regions and historical events. We implemented Delft3D‐FM simulations and examined the synthetic effects of translation speed Vt and landfall angle α on maximum surge height (MSH) along an open coast and bay. By simulating idealized cases with varying Vt and α, we found that fast translation of a tropical cyclone (TC) magnified the MSH, with the most extreme MSH occurring when the landfall angle was almost perpendicular to the coastline. In addition, the simultaneous presence of smaller α and slower Vt conditions for a TC can trigger coastally trapped waves arriving ahead of its landfall. The impacts of the Proudman and Greenspan resonances contribute substantially to the MSH, depending on the conditions of the TCs and their topographies. We quantitatively assessed the effect of coastline geometry, and the results revealed that the morphological ratio influenced the MSH. Our findings suggest that the synthetic effects of cyclonic and topographic factors are critical for generating resonance and trapped waves that can modify main surges. The application of our findings from idealized cases to realistic cases based on historical TC indicates their applicability to storm surge risk assessment. Finally, we conducted a factor‐based diagnosis for the rapid evaluation of MSH, which can provide insightful references for future storm surge mitigation.

AbstractSea ice is a central part of the Arctic climate system, and its changes have a significant impact on the Earth's climate. Yet, its state, especially in summer, is not fully understood and correctly predicted in dynamical forecast systems. In this study, the seasonal prediction skill of Arctic sea ice is investigated in a high‐resolution dynamical forecast system, the China Meteorological Administration Climate Prediction System (CMA‐CPSv3). A 7‐month‐long retrospective forecast is made every other month from 2001 to 2021. Employing the anomaly correlation coefficient as the metric of the prediction skill, we show that CMA‐CPSv3 can predict regional Arctic sea ice extent and sea ice thickness up to 7 lead months. The Bering Sea exhibits the highest prediction skill among the 14 Arctic subregions. CMA‐CPSv3 outperforms the anomaly persistence forecast in the Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, Laptev Sea, and East Siberian Sea. The sources of the sea ice prediction skill partly come from the good performance of upper ocean temperature in CMA‐CPSv3. This holds true not only for winter sea ice in the Arctic marginal seas but also for summer sea ice in several Arctic central seas. Furthermore, CMA‐CPSv3 exhibits a strong relationship between the variability of sea ice and surface heat fluxes. This underscores the importance of enhancing the representation of air‐sea heat exchanges in dynamical forecast systems to improve the prediction skill of sea ice.

AbstractCarbon dioxide entering and acidifying the ocean can be neutralized by the dissolution of calcium carbonate, which is mainly found in two mineral forms. Calcite is the more stable form and is often found in deep‐sea sediments, whilst aragonite is more soluble and therefore rarely preserved. Recent research shows aragonite may account for a much larger portion of marine calcium carbonate export to the ocean interior via the biological pump than previously thought, and that aragonite does reach the deep sea and seafloor despite rarely being buried. If aragonite is present and dissolving at the seafloor it will raise local pH and calcium and carbonate concentrations, potentially enough to inhibit calcite dissolution, representing a deep‐sea, carbonate version of galvanization. Here, we test this hypothesis by simulating aragonite dissolution at the sediment‐water interface in the laboratory and measuring its effects on pH using microsensors. We show that the addition of aragonite to calcite sediment, overlain by seawater undersaturated with respect to both minerals, results in an unchanged alkalinity flux out of the dissolving sediment, suggesting a decrease the net dissolution rate of calcite. In combination with a diagenetic model, we show that aragonite dissolution can suppress calcite dissolution in the top millimeters of the seabed, locally leading to calcite precipitation within 1 day. Future research efforts should quantify this galvanization effect in situ, as this process may represent an important component of the marine carbon cycle, assigning a key role to aragonite producers in controlling ocean alkalinity and preserving climatic archives.

AbstractWe determined the risk of late morbidity and mortality after autologous blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) for lymphoma performed before age 40. The cohort included autologous BMT recipients who had survived ≥2 years after transplantation (N = 583 [HL = 59.9%; NHL = 40.1%]) and a comparison cohort (N = 1070). Participants self-reported sociodemographics and chronic health conditions. A severity score (grade 3 [severe], 4 [life threatening] or 5 [fatal]) was assigned to the conditions using CTCAE v5.0. Logistic regression estimated the odds of grade 3–4 conditions in survivors vs. comparison subjects. Proportional subdistribution hazards models identified predictors of grade 3–5 conditions among BMT recipients. Median age at BMT was 30.0 years (range: 2.0–40.0) and median follow-up was 9.8 years (2.0–32.1). Survivors were at a 3-fold higher adjusted odds for grade 3–4 conditions (95% CI = 2.3–4.1) vs. comparison subjects. Factors associated with grade 3–5 conditions among BMT recipients included age at BMT (>30 years: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 2.31; 95% CI = 1.27–4.19; reference: ≤21 years), pre-BMT radiation (aHR = 1.52; 95% CI = 1.13–2.03; reference: non-irradiated), and year of BMT (≥2000: aHR = 0.54; 95% CI = 0.34–0.85; reference: <1990). The 25 years cumulative incidence of relapse-related and non-relapse-related mortality was 18.2% and 25.9%, respectively. The high risk for late morbidity and mortality after autologous BMT for lymphoma performed at age <40 calls for long-term anticipatory risk-based follow-up.

Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fractional radiation on the mechanical properties of fluoride-releasing materials.

Materials and methods
High-viscosity glass ionomer cement (F9), resin-modified glass ionomer cement (F2), glass hybrid restoration (EQ), and bioactive composite (AC) were divided into 3 subgroups: 0, 35, and 70 Gy fractional radiation doses. The specimens were subjected to surface roughness, Vickers microhardness, and compressive strength tests. The chemical components and morphology of the tested specimens were observed via energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The data were analyzed using two–way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc analysis.

Results
After exposure to fractional radiation, the surface roughness increased in all the groups. F9 had the highest surface roughness, while AC had the lowest surface roughness within the same radiation dose. The Vickers microhardness decreased in F9 and EQ. The AC had the highest compressive strength among all the groups, followed by F2. More cracks and voids were inspected, and no substantial differences in the chemical components were observed.

Conclusions
After fractional radiation, the surface roughness of all fluoride-releasing materials increased, while the Vickers microhardness of F9 and EQ decreased. However, the compressive strength increased only in F2 and AC.
Mechanism and role of mitophagy in the development of severe infection
Authors: Ma Lixiu , Han Tianyu , Zhan Yi-an 
Published: February 2024

AbstractMitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate and potentially contribute to proinflammatory responses and cell death. Mitophagy, as a conservative phenomenon, scavenges waste mitochondria and their components in the cell. Recent studies suggest that severe infections develop alongside mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy abnormalities. Restoring mitophagy protects against excessive inflammation and multiple organ failure in sepsis. Here, we review the normal mitophagy process, its interaction with invading microorganisms and the immune system, and summarize the mechanism of mitophagy dysfunction during severe infection. We highlight critical role of normal mitophagy in preventing severe infection.

AbstractNickel-rich layered oxide cathodes promise ultrahigh energy density but is plagued by the mechanical failure of the secondary particle upon (de)lithiation. Existing approaches for alleviating the structural degradation could retard pulverization, yet fail to tune the stress distribution and root out the formation of cracks. Herein, we report a unique strategy to uniformize the stress distribution in secondary particle via Kirkendall effect to stabilize the core region during electrochemical cycling. Exotic metal/metalloid oxides (such as Al2O3 or SiO2) is introduced as the heterogeneous nucleation seeds for the preferential growth of the precursor. The calcination treatment afterwards generates a dopant-rich interior structure with central Kirkendall void, due to the different diffusivity between the exotic element and nickel atom. The resulting cathode material exhibits superior structural and electrochemical reversibility, thus contributing to a high specific energy density (based on cathode) of 660 Wh kg−1 after 500 cycles with a retention rate of 86%. This study suggests that uniformizing stress distribution represents a promising pathway to tackle the structural instability facing nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes.
