Abstract
We explored ecological aspects of the early establishment of the association between the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica (Newman) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), and the adult tachinid parasitoid, Istocheta aldrichi (Mesnil) (Diptera: Tachinidae), in the province of Québec, Canada. The Japanese beetle started its invasion in the late 1930s, whereas I. aldrichi was detected only in 2009. It is assumed that I. aldrichi spread in the province from its introduced range in the northeastern United States of America. Throughout the summer, we used baited traps in eight localities of southern Québec (2018–2019) and in 13 raspberry (Rubus idaeus) fields (2022) localised along a latitudinal gradient to describe the distribution and seasonal occurrence of both species and the parasitism rates of I. aldrichi. We also mapped observational data from the online platform iNaturalist to further describe the current distribution of both the host and its parasitoid. Results indicate that I. aldrichi is well spread in southern Québec and along the St. Lawrence River in most areas where the Japanese beetle is present. Parasitism mostly occurs from late June to mid-July, before the peak of Japanese beetle populations, and levels of total seasonal parasitism range from 3.9 to 27.3% across sampled sites. Together, trap captures and data from iNaturalist provide evidence that I. aldrichi is now established in most areas of the province of Québec where the Japanese beetle is present.
TRAF6 and TRAF2/3 Binding Motifs in CD40 Differentially Regulate B Cell Function in T-Dependent Antibody Responses and Dendritic Cell Function in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Expression of the costimulatory molecule CD40 on both B cells and dendritic cells (DCs) is required for induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and cell-autonomous CD40 expression on B cells is required for primary T-dependent (TD) Ab responses. We now ask whether the function of CD40 expressed by different cell types in these responses is mediated by the same or different cytoplasmic domains. CD40 has been reported to possess multiple cytoplasmic domains, including distinct TRAF6 and TRAF2/3 binding motifs. To elucidate the in vivo function of these motifs in B cells and DCs involved in EAE and TD germinal center responses, we have generated knock-in mice containing distinct CD40 cytoplasmic domain TRAF-binding site mutations and have used these animals, together with bone marrow chimeric mice, to assess the roles that these motifs play in CD40 function. We found that both TRAF2/3 and TRAF6 motifs of CD40 are critically involved in EAE induction and demonstrated that this is mediated by a role of both motifs for priming of pathogenic T cells by DCs. In contrast, the TRAF2/3 binding motif, but not the TRAF6 binding motif, is required for B cell CD40 function in TD high-affinity Ab responses. These data demonstrate that the requirements for expression of specific TRAF-binding CD40 motifs differ for B cells or DCs that function in specific immune responses and thus identify targets for intervention to modulate these responses.

Validation of the WRF-ARW eclipse model with measurements from the 2019 and 2020 total solar eclipses
Authors: Spangrude Carl E. , Fowler Jennifer W. , Moss W. Graham , Wang June 
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Field research campaigns in 2019 and 2020 collected hourly atmospheric profiles via radiosonde surrounding the 2 July 2019 and 14 December 2020 total solar eclipses over South America from locations within the paths of eclipse totality. As part of these atmospheric data collection campaigns, the eclipse module of the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecast (WRF-ARW) model was utilized to model meteorological conditions before, during, and after the eclipse events. The surface and upper-air observational datasets collected through these campaigns have enabled further assessment and validation of the WRF-ARW's eclipse module performance in simulating atmospheric responses to total solar eclipses. We provide descriptions of the field campaigns for both 2019 and 2020 and present results from comparisons of meteorological variables both at the surface and aloft using observational datasets obtained through the campaigns. The paper concludes by recommending further scientific analyses to be explored utilizing the unique datasets presented.
Frequent microbiological profile changes are seen in subsequent-revision hip and knee arthroplasty for prosthetic joint infection

Published: November 2023

Abstract. A proportion of patients with hip and knee prosthetic joint infection (PJI) undergo multiple revisions with the aim of eradicating infection and improving quality of life. The aim of this study was to describe the microbiology cultured from multiply revised hip and knee replacement procedures to guide antimicrobial therapy at the time of surgery. Patients and methods: Consecutive patients were retrospectively identified from databases at two specialist orthopaedic centres in the United Kingdom between 2011 and 2019. Patient were included who had undergone repeat-revision total knee replacement (TKR) or total hip replacement (THR) for infection, following an initial failed revision for infection. Results: A total of 106 patients were identified. Of these patients, 74 underwent revision TKR and 32 underwent revision THR. The mean age at first revision was 67 years (SD 10). The Charlson comorbidity index was ≤ 2 for 31 patients, 3–4 for 57 patients, and ≥ 5 for 18 patients. All patients underwent at least two revisions, 73 patients received three, 47 patients received four, 31 patients received five, and 21 patients received at least six. After six revisions, 90 % of patients had different organisms cultured compared with the initial revision, and 53 % of organisms were multidrug resistant. The most frequent organisms at each revision were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (36 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (19 %). Fungus was cultured from 3 % of revisions, and 21 % of infections were polymicrobial. Conclusion: Patients undergoing multiple revisions for PJI are highly likely to experience a change in organism, with 90 % of patients having a different organism cultured by their sixth revision. It is therefore important to administer empirical antibiotics at each subsequent revision, taking into account known drug resistance from previous cultures. Our results do not support the routine use of empirical antifungals.
Caring for Our Common Home: Christianity, Chinese Religions, and the Challenge of Ecology
Authors: Lefebure Leo D. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Pope Francis has emphasized that the current ecological crisis challenges practitioners of all religious traditions to cooperate in responding constructively and creatively. The resources of Chinese religious traditions have special importance in shaping the integral ecological culture that Pope Francis calls for. Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist values frequently converge with Christian ideals to respect our common cosmic home.
Mark Twain’s Early Contributions to Fantasy and Science Fiction and “Mormon” Narratives of Reconciliation
Authors: Manning Alan , Amare Nicole 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Mark Twain is best known in popular culture as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It is somewhat less widely known that he wrote on the leading edge of the writing genre we now know as Fantasy and Science Fiction (F&SF). He stands with Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and H. G. Wells as one of the early developers of basic themes that are with us still: time travel, political dystopia, alternative history, future history, ESP, alien/demonic visitation, travel to alien worlds, and world-altering inventions. Twain likewise had fictional alignments with Latter-day Saint theology, including the theme of reconciliation through transcendence. Transcendent reconciliation is thus the driving force behind the general plot strategy of the most successful examples of Latter-day Saint fantasy/sci-fi and Twain’s writings as well.
Studying Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve from a Ghanaian Context
Authors: Ben-Daniels Faith 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This article outlines the practical pedagogical approach used in the teaching of Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve in a Ghanaian university, and how the chosen approach, which involves some amount of “enactment” of the text, guides students in focusing on the nuances encountered as part of their study of the text under the “World Literature” course. This article highlights how professors incorporate “enactment” as an approach to raise and sustain students’ interest in the text and to further guide students in identifying and discussing universal subject matters such as marriage, misogyny, and human fellowship from the text. Employing enactment creates in students a sense of ownership of the text and involvement in its study. The discussion concludes by highlighting the importance of maintaining such foreign texts in the academic curriculum, but not losing sight of the challenges academic faculties face by doing so.
TO THE QUESTION OF THE TYPES OF FUNERAL AND COMMEMORATIVE COMPLEXES OF THE NORTH PONTIC AREA IN THE PERIOD OF CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY
Authors: Шушунова Е.В. , Ярцев С.В. 
Published: November 2023

Объектом исследования являются поминально-погребальные комплексы античных городищ и поселений. На основе анализа археологических источников авторы делят такие комплексы на два типа. Первый тип пространственно связан с отдельными погребениями некрополей. Там происходили тризны, следующие сразу же за совершением погребения, проводились обряды посещения могил после похорон, а во время ежегодных праздников — обряды, посвящённые умершим предкам. Комплексы второго типа располагаются как на некрополях, так и на городищах. В большинстве случаев они не привязаны к отдельным захоронениям и, скорее всего, являлись результатом постепенной трансформации комплексов первого типа. Именно на участках с комплексами второго типа выполнялись сложные магические действия, нацеленные на сплочение семьи в единую духовную силу.
The research scope covers funeral and commemorative complexes of city sites and necropoleis of classical antiquity in the North Ponticarea. Two types of such complexes were distinguished by the authors on the basis of the archaeological record. The first one is spatially associated with individual burials in necropoleis. A series of events may have taken place there, such as feasts following immediately after a burial ceremony, rites of revisiting graves in a long while after the funeral, as well as those dedicated to deceased ancestors and held during annual celebrations. Complexes of the second type were discovered both in necropoleis and in city sites. Basically, these were not associated with individual graves, being most likely a result of gradual transformation of complexes of the first type. It is actually these places wherein elaborated magical actionshave been performed with an eye to unite all family members into a solid spiritual force.

Introduction:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether intramedullary nail contact with physeal scar improves construct mechanics when treating distal tibial shaft fractures.

Methods:
Axially unstable extra-articular distal tibia fractures were created in 30 fresh frozen cadaveric specimens (15 pairs, mean age 79 years). Specimens underwent intramedullary nailing to the level of the physeal scar locked with one or two interlocks or short of the physeal scar locked with two interlocks (reference group). Specimens were subjected to 800N of axial load for 25,000 cycles. Primary outcomes were stiffness before and after cyclic loading. Secondary outcomes were load to failure, load at 3 mm displacement, plastic deformation, and total deformation.

Results:
The physeal scar with one interlock cohort demonstrated 3.8% greater stiffness before cycling (P = 0.75) and 1.7% greater stiffness after cycling (P = 0.86) compared with the reference group. The physeal scar with two interlocks group exhibited 0.3% greater stiffness before cycling (P = 0.98) and 8.4% greater stiffness after cycling (P = 0.41) in relation to the reference group. No differences were identified regarding load to failure or load at 3 mm displacement. In specimens with two interlocks, those in contact with the physeal scar demonstrated significantly less plastic (P = 0.02) and total (P = 0.04) deformation.

Conclusions:
Constructs ending at the physeal scar demonstrated stiffness and load to failure similar to those without physeal scar contact. Less plastic and total deformation was noted in two-interlock constructs with physeal scar contact, suggesting a possible protective effect provided by the physeal scar. These data argue that physeal scar contact may offer a small mechanical benefit in nailing distal tibia fractures, but clinical relevance remains unknown.
Työväenliikkeen naiskirjailijoiden perhe- ja avioliittokritiikki 1900-luvun alun suomalaisissa työväenlehdissä
Authors: Kemppainen Mikko 
Published: November 2023

Mikko Kemppainen analysoi artikkelissaan työläisperheen roolia työväenliikkeen kirjailijoiden tuotannossa. Kemppaisen tarkastelemat kirjailijat Hilda Tihlä, Elvira Willman ja Hilja Pärssinen kuvasivat kaikki työläisperheen arkielämän kurjia olosuhteita. He kritisoivat kristillistä kasvatusihannetta sekä porvarillisen naisasialiikkeen ajamaa koti-ideologiaa kapitalistista sortoa ylläpitävinä. Erityisesti porvarillisen seksuaalimoraalin tekopyhyys – naisten siveyden korostaminen ja jonkinasteisen seksuaalisen vapauden salliminen miehille – oli naiskirjailijoiden hampaissa, ja he vaativat, että samojen seksuaalimoraalisten käsitysten tuli koskea sekä miehiä että naisia.
Vaikka äitiys nähtiin myös työväenluokkaisten kirjailijoiden silmin naisen tärkeimpänä tehtävänä, erityisesti Willman ja Pärssinen korostivat, että työläisnainen ei voinut toteuttaa äitiyden ihannetta niin kauan kuin yhteiskunnan sosiaaliset, moraaliset ja taloudelliset rakenteet olivt esteenä ja ylläpitivät luokkasortoa. Kemppainen osoittaa myös, miten suomalaiset 1900-luvun alun perhettä käsittelevät kirjoitukset kytkeytyivät kansainvälisiin keskusteluihin naisten asemasta ja perhekäsityksistä. Tihlä, Willman ja Pärssinen tunsivat Ellen Keyn ja Clara Zetkinin kaltaisia naisvaikuttajia ja heidän tuotantoaan. Erityisesti Pärssinen kannatti Keyn tapaan myös rotuhygieenisiä ajatuksia.
"Jos voin ja on varoja niin luen ylioppilaaksi". Työväenluokkaisten oppikoululaisten tulevaisuudensuunnitelmia 1950-luvun Helsingissä
Authors: Selin Sinikka 
Published: November 2023

Sinikka Selinin artikkeli käsittelee työväenluokkaisten perheiden oppikoulunuorten koulutusta ja työntekoa koskevia tulevaisuudensuunnitelmia 1900-luvun puolivälissä. Selin käyttää aineistonaan toisen maailmansodan jälkeen kehittyneen, nuorille Muuttuva työläisperhe tutkimuksen kohteena suunnatun ammatinvalinnanohjauksen myötä syntyneitä aineistoja, joihin sisältyy nuorten täyttämiä taustatietolomakkeita, opettajan- ja lääkärinlausuntoja sekä psykologien lausuntoja. Näiden aineistojen valossa Selin tarkastelee nuorten tulevaisuutta koskevia unelmia ja toiveita.
Selin hyödyntää tutkimuksessaan sosiaalisen pääoman teorioita (esim. binding social capital ja bridging social capital) tarkastellessaan työläisperheiden nuorten sosiaalisia ja kulttuurisia resursseja, jotka ohjasivat yhdessä perheen kanssa tehtyjä koulutusvalintoja. Selinin mukaan työläisperheet näkivät koulutuksen sijoituksena tulevaisuuteen, mutta toisin kuin ylempiin sosiaaliryhmiin kuuluvat perheet, he eivät useinkaan nähneet sivistystä itseisarvona vaan pikemminkin välineellisesti, avaimena parempaan sosio-ekonomiseen asemaan. Pääomateorian avulla Selin sijoittaa työläisperheen ja sen jäsenet laajempaan sosiaaliseen kontekstiin. Hän korostaa, että perhe- ja tuttavaverkostojen merkitystä aikuiseksi varttuvalle ja identiteettiään etsivälle nuorelle ei voi aliarvioida tilanteessa, jossa oma perhetausta ei useinkaan kantanut mukanaan sellaisia sosiaalisia pääomia, jotka olisivat ohjanneet opintielle.

Vaikka työväenluokkaisten oppikoulunuorten perheissä oli tehty päätös panostaa lasten tulevaisuuteen enemmän kuin laki velvoitti, oli perheenjäsenten välillä myös sukupuolittuneita eroja siinä, minkälaisia koulutuspolkuja suosittiin. Kuten Selin toteaa, 1950-luvun ammatinvalintaohjaus vaikuttaa pikemminkin vahvistaneen kuin kyseenalaistaneen vallitsevia sukupuolittuneita ihanteita: tyttöjen ammattiasematavoitteet näyttävät olleen kaikissa yhteiskuntaluokissa matalampia kuin poikien.

Published: November 2023

Los efectos de la llegada abundante de macroalgas, como el sargazo, a la península de Yucatán motivó el monitoreo de los arribazones por medio de un proyecto de ciencia ciudadana dirigido a poblaciones afectadas o interesadas. Por medio de cuestionarios y entrevistas semiestructuradas, se analizaron los aprendizajes de 18 participantes (de 16 a 18 años) de la primera etapa del proyecto. Entre los hallazgos, destacó la interrelación de los nuevos aprendizajes disciplinares sobre las macroalgas y los procedimentales del trabajo de campo. Los participantes mostraron actitudes renovadas y positivas hacia la ciencia y el arribazón. Se reflexiona sobre qué factores impulsaron sus aprendizajes y habilidades para la investigación al atender los objetivos científicos, entre ellos: la relevancia del problema, el taller introductorio y la socialización entre las científicas y los participantes.
