Science Triggers and Situational Interest in Everyday Family Life
Authors: Vivante Irit , Vedder‐Weiss Dana 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTInterest in science is critical for science learning. The family plays a major role in supporting the development of children's interest in science by eliciting and fostering interest and engagement with science content and practice. This study characterizes triggers for interest in science in everyday family life and measures the duration of resulting engagement manifesting situational interest. In an insider researcher‐ethnography of one family, we collected video and audio recordings of science‐related interactions using fixed 24/7 audio and video cameras in the house and Go‐Pro cameras outdoors. We identified 397 science interest‐triggering events and classified them along three dimensions: (1) the connection between the stimulus and the object of interest (direct, indirect, or unidentified); (2) the design of the stimulus (designed or undesigned); (3) the attention to the stimulus (self‐noticed or mediated). We found most triggers were direct (87%) and undesigned (82%), and they were equally mediated and self‐noticed (50%–50%). Moreover, although designed triggers were relatively rare, they elicited longer situational interest than undesigned triggers. Interaction analysis of two illustrative events showed that this difference was related not only to features of the trigger design but also to the way participants co‐constructed the interaction around it. The study's findings underscore the significance of developing targeted triggers for science learning in family contexts and providing parents with practical strategies to leverage undesigned triggers.

ABSTRACTBlood serum (BS) and seminal plasma (SP) share a plethora of compounds that might present an individual and/or temporal concentration variation. We aimed to determine whether BS and SP concentrations of albumin, calcium, citrate, creatinine, fructose, glucose, lactate, total protein, urea, zinc, cortisol, anti‐Müllerian hormone (AMH) and testosterone are related to weekly collections in New Zealand White (NZW) adult rabbit bucks. During a 12‐week study, blood samples were obtained at the beginning and the end of the study period, and semen samples were taken twice a week from four NZW adult rabbit bucks, starting at 6–7 months of age. After semen collection, the sperm motility was subjectively assessed, and SP was obtained by centrifugation. BS and SP were evaluated for the above‐mentioned metabolites using a Biosystems BA400 automated analyser with commercial‐specific kits or enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kits, assessing the effects of the male and time of collection. In addition, a correlation analysis aimed at disclosing associations between parameters in BS and SP was performed. Male effect was not significant for BS, but it was significant for SP albumin, citrate, fructose, glucose, lactate and total protein. In addition, all the correlations in BS were positive, whereas they were more balanced in SP, being close to half of the correlations. In conclusion, variations of some metabolites (albumin, citrate, fructose, glucose, lactate and total protein) appear to be potential biomarkers for rabbit SP, although further studies should test their usefulness for sperm fertility assessment.
The Illegality Defence: Lessons from Investment Arbitrations Involving the Western Balkans
Authors: Penushliski Ilija Mitrev 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In recent years, foreign investors have increasingly resorted to international arbitration against the Western Balkan States. In a number of such arbitrations, the respondent States have raised an illegality defence, arguing that the applicable treaties bar access to arbitration to investors who have obtained their investments illegally. This defence strategy has generally proven unsuccessful. This chapter aims to distill the lessons from publicly available awards in which the Western Balkan States have raised an illegality defence. It surveys the approaches taken by tribunals in those disputes and considers the types of illegalities that have been deemed to deprive an investor of access to arbitration, when such illegality must have occurred, and what State conduct may weaken the State’s illegality defence.
Utility of minimally invasive percutaneous arthrodesis of the sacroiliac joint for the treatment of low back pain: systematic review of the literature
Authors: Acevedo-Gonzalez Juan Carlos , Lacouture-Silgado Isabella 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
The surprising increase observed in recent years in the use of minimally invasive sacroiliac joint arthrodesis techniques as a treatment for low back pain justifies an objective review of this results.

Purpose
carry out a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the clinical results of patients with low back pain treated with percutaneous arthrodesis of the SIJ.

Study design
Systematic review.

Methods
Systematic search of the medical literature. The words used in the Search were: “Hollow screw system”, “percutaneous sacroiliac joint stabilization”, “sacroiliac joint”, “minimally invasive”, “sacroiliac pain”, “sacroiliac dysfunction”. With logical connectors such as “and”, “not” and “or”.

Databases
Pubmed, Scopus, Embase, Ovid, EBSCO host and google scholar. The search extended from the beginning of the databases until September 2024. The “Rayyan” program was used to collect the information and facilitate the analysis process.

Inclusion criteria
Systematic review from the literature, clinical trials, observational studies and case series. They followed PRISMA principles.

Results
661 articles were found, of which 108 articles were duplicates. The criteria (Inclusion/Exclusion) were applied to the 553 articles identified based on the independent reading of the summaries by each of the authors on the Rayyan platform and 434 articles were excluded. The 119 selected articles were completely reviewed to finally obtain 102 articles included in the review. Epidemiological data were extracted into an Excel table, methodological and related to clinical results and safety of procedures made. The Prisma checklist for systematic reviews was applied in each article. The epidemiological quality of the articles was evaluated based on the checklists STROBE and CONSORT. The results regarding clinical improvement were overwhelming. However, most of the studies were sponsored by industry and with a limited population and follow-up not always prolonged.

Conclusions
Although the clinical results regarding the effectiveness of SIJ fusion are forceful for their effectiveness, we recommend considering some aspects for their analysis and especially long-term studies.
Type D personality and social inhibition: drivers of cardiovascular risk and reduced physical activity in psoriatic arthritis
Authors: Yetişir Ayşegül , Sariyildiz Aylin , Coskun Benlidayi Ilke , Özbek Süleyman 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
To evaluate the presence of type D personality and its association with metabolic syndrome (MetS), cardiovascular disease risk, and level of exercise in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Material and method
This cross-sectional study included patients with PsA (n = 84) and healthy controls (n = 74). Sociodemographic data, laboratory parameters, and disease-related parameters were recorded. We evaluated the presence of type D personality with the total 14 items of the type D Personality Scale, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) indicating 10-year cardiovascular disease risk as low, moderate, and high, the presence of MetS, and physical activity levels by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF).

Results
The median age of patients with PsA was 53.5 (17) years, 73.8% were female, and the disease duration was 7 (12) years. Compared to controls, patients with PsA exhibited higher FRS and increased frequency of MetS, type D personality, and its domains (social inhibition and negative affectivity) (p < 0.05 for all). Patients with type D personality had even a higher frequency of MetS and lower levels of moderate-intensity exercise than those without type D personality (p = 0.020 and p = 0.027). Patients with social inhibition had higher FRS, a higher frequency of MetS, and lower levels of moderate-intensity exercise (p < 0.05 for all) compared to those without social inhibition. MetS showed a significant positive correlation with social inhibition, waist circumference, and FRS (Spearman’s rho were 0.244, 0.444, and 0.555, respectively), and a negative correlation with IPAQ-SF total metabolic equivalent (Spearman’s rho was -0.214).

Conclusion
Patients with type D personality and social inhibition had a higher frequency of MetS and low levels of moderate-intensity exercise, whereas patients with social inhibition had a higher FRS. It is essential to assess PsA patients’ cardiac risk factors, type D personality, and social inhibition, as well as provide exercise advice.

Key Points•Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a prevelant rheumatologic disease that is frequently accompanied by comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).•It is crucial to evaluate patients with PsA for CVD risk factors.•Patients with type D personality demonstrate lower engagement in moderate-intensity exercise and a higher frequency of MetS. Socially inhibited PsA patients showed elevated Framingham Risk Scores and MetS rates, as well as reduced levels of moderate-intensity exercise.•Beyond assessing cardiac risk factors, it is important to assess personality traits and offer tailored exercise recommendations for comprehensive PsA management.

Abstract
Mediterranean Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos homeyeri) are crucial for maintaining the balance of the ecosystem they live in. Human presence and some human activities are recognized as major disturbance factors affecting their welfare. In the present study, we evaluated through the measurement of feather corticosterone (CORTf), the welfare state of nestlings subjected to different levels of human pressure. Nestlings were sampled in different locations in Spain and Portugal for two consecutive years (2018, 2019). CORTf levels were higher in groups of individuals living in most populated areas and positively correlated with the proximity to airports, suggesting that human presence and noise pollution generated by aircraft may be a source of stress for developing eaglets, affecting their physiological state. CORTf levels were also related to mortality, finding low mean levels in individuals dying in the short-run. Finally, the relation between CORTf and other commonly used stress indicators such as the intensity of the color of the hue of cere and the number of fault bars in the tail of the nestlings was investigated. Considering the hue of cere, a significant negative strong correlation with the corticosterone levels in nestlings was found in samples from 2018 suggesting that nestlings in poorer nutritional conditions may present higher stress levels, whereas no correlation with the number of fault bars was found.

Evolution of Human Pair Bonds as a Consequence of Male-Biased Mating Sex Ratios?
Authors: Nitschke Matthew C. , Kumar Viney , Milliner Katrina E. , Hawkes Kristen , Kim Peter S. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Compared to our closest primate relatives, human life history involves greater longevity, which includes a distinctive postmenopausal life stage. Given mammalian reproductive physiology in which females build a finite stock of cells that can become oocytes early in life, which then continuously deplete mostly through cell death while males produce new sperm throughout adulthood, the postmenopausal stage makes the sex ratio in the fertile pool, called the adult sex ratio (ASR), male biased. Additionally, this affects a more fine-grained ratio, the operational sex ratio (OSR), defined as the ratio of males to females currently able to conceive. Here, we construct an ODE model in which males compete for paternities using either a multiple-mating or mate-guarding strategy. Our focus is on investigating the differences of strategy choice between populations with varying life histories, which include a distinct post-fertile stage for adult females. By simulating the system, we determine the dominant strategy and its dependence on various parameter combinations. Our results show that an increase in OSR and ASR correlates well with a change in the dominant strategy from multiple mating to guarding.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
The ring-augmented Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (raRYGB) has been reported to result in higher long-term weight loss compared to regular Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, the type of ring used varied within studies, leading to heterogeneity in reported results. Therefore, this study compares the 5-year results of RYGB with and without ring augmentation using a specific prefabricated gastric ring.

Methods
All consecutive patients from a single center who received primary raRYGB between June 1, 2016, and May 31, 2018, with complete 5-year follow-up data were included and compared to a propensity score matched cohort receiving RYGB in the same period from the Dutch Audit for Treatment of Obesity. To ensure fair effect estimation of placing a ring, only RYGB procedures with alimentary and biliopancreatic limb lengths similar to those of the raRYGB were considered eligible. The primary outcome was percentage total weight loss (%TWL). Secondary outcomes included recurrent weight gain (RWG), obesity complication improvement, and complications.

Results
In total, 592 matched patients were analyzed. raRYGB was associated with higher %TWL at 5 years (31.5% versus 28.0%, β = 3.59, 95% CI [2.09–5.09], p < 0.01) and lower odds on RWG (odds ratio = 0.56, 95% CI [0.38–0.83], p < 0.01). Improvement of obesity complications and short-term complication rates were comparable in both groups. After 5 years, 13 patients (4%) had experienced ring-related complications needing reoperation.

Conclusions
At 5 years, raRYGB was associated with higher %TWL and lower odds on RWG. The occurrence of ring-related complications was limited.
Workaholism and job performance: testing indirect relationships via work engagement and poor sleep quality
Authors: Molinaro Danila , González-Romá Vicente , Spagnoli Paola 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Among the most important outcomes related to workaholism for its implications for both organizations and employees is job performance. However, previous studies that have analyzed this relationship report inconsistent results. Drawing on achievement motivation theory and the work, non-work, and sleep model, the present study aims to understand why workaholism is related to job performance through two opposing paths: a motivational path, in which workaholism is indirectly and positively related to job performance via work engagement, and a recovery path, where workaholism is indirectly and negatively related to job performance through poor sleep quality. The hypothesized relationships were investigated by testing a structural equation model with Mplus 8 on 389 Italian workers (60.9% women; Mage = 38.40 years; SD = 11.54 years). The results showed a significant indirect effect of workaholism on job performance through both work engagement and poor sleep quality, thus supporting the two hypothesized mediating mechanisms. Although the study’s cross-sectional design and self-reported measures represent limitations, our results help uncover two opposing mechanisms linking workaholism to job performance. Theoretically, we further advanced our knowledge about the complex relationship between these two variables by providing empirical evidence on the indirect positive (via work engagement) and negative (via poor sleep quality) relationships that workaholism has on job performance. From a practical perspective, interventions should be implemented to assess workaholism risk, promote work engagement, and prevent poor sleep quality using recovery strategies for employees.
Wheat dust and extracted rapeseed scrap biochar: a comprehensive characterization and assessment of potential utilization in the context of the circular economy
Authors: Kwoczynski Zdenka , Burdová Hana , Al Souki Karim Suhail , Čmelík Jiří 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The current utilization of wheat dust (WD) and hexane-extracted rapeseed scrap (RS) in Central Europe is inefficient and non-ecological. Therefore, it is necessary to identify an appropriate waste treatment that supports the principles of the circular economy. For this reason, the aforementioned wastes were pyrolyzed, resulting in the production of biochars, which are commonly used as absorbents or soil amendments. These biochars were then steam activated, characterized, and evaluated for potential further suitable and sustainable utilization. The structure, porosity, specific surface area, and composition of bound functional groups, nutrients, toxic elements, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and pH were analyzed as important parameters for biochar applications. RS biochar contained high concentrations of nutrients (N 75.9, P 21.5, K 15.1, C 603, Ca 14.3, Mg 8.31, S 5.40 g·kg−1 wt. all). The CEC was remarkably high 87.0 cmol·kg−1 for the RS biochar. The SSA value increased in fivefold in both samples upon activation (11.0 m2·g−1 for WD biochar and 0.8 m2·g−1 for RS biochar). The pore depth increased in accordance with activation temperature. Alkanes, aromatics, and oxygenated groups were detected on the biochars surfaces, yet more evident in WD. WD biochar could be used as an adsorbent for organic pollutants because its structure, surface area, and representation of functional group predict high adsorption efficiency, especially after activation. Raw RS biochar is more suited to utilization as a soil amendment, due to its high concentration of nutrients. These utilizations of biochar support the circular economy, eliminate pollution, improve soil properties, and reduce the need for industrially produced fertilizers and sorbents.

A fractional hybrid function composed of block-pulses and fractional Fibonacci polynomials for solving multiterm fractional variable-order differential equations
Authors: Postavaru Octavian , Toma Antonela 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper presents the development of a fractional hybrid function composed of block-pulse functions and Fibonacci polynomials (FHBPF) for the numerical solution of multiterm variable-order fractional differential equations. By replacing

$$x\rightarrow x^{\alpha }$$

x
→

x
α

in FHBPF and utilizing incomplete beta functions, we construct the method with a focus on fractional derivatives in the Caputo sense and fractional integrals in the Riemann–Liouville sense. A key advantage of the proposed method is its exact computation of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator. Using the Newton–Cotes collocation method, we transform the differential equations into systems of algebraic equations, which are then solved with traditional techniques such as Newton’s iterative method. An error analysis method is also introduced. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and simplicity of the approach, highlighting its efficiency even for relatively small base sizes.
Can Intersectionality Save Us? Phallogocentric Feminisms and the Desire for Identity
Authors: Shohadaei Setareh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper engages with a series of recent literatures that examine how feminist and queer movements have become agents of nationalism, neoliberalism, and global wars. I argue that, while the critique of intersectionality has attempted to curtail the reproductions of such violence within feminism, it too has not been able to resist cooptations into nationalist and capitalist forms of power. Developing an epistemological critique of intersectionality, I arrive at an analysis of identity politics as an elemental identification with phallic power that erases the feminine. Building on the works of Elizabeth Grosz, Wendy Brown, and Luce Irigaray, I suggest that at the core of such feminist alliances with domination lies an unresolved relation to feminine desire as the desire for a non-identitarian politics.
