Seizing the Alterity of Futures
Authors: Cornum Lou 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article contextualizes growing interest in futurity and minoritarian futures as connected to movements in speculative fiction, particularly Afrofuturism and Indigenous futurism, and the ways in which this genre reimagines both history and futures. These developments are read through two groundbreaking anthologies—Dark Matter, a collection of speculative fiction from the African diaspora, and Walking the Clouds, a collection of Indigenous science fiction—and the social conditions of their publication. Using the work of Walter Benjamin and his writing against the notion of progress in history, the article posits the shared grounds for a philosophy of history that disrupts the singular future of speculation-driven capitalism with alternative forms of speculative imagination.

Abstract
This article is about a particular kind of settler-colonial phenomenology. It is based on almost two years of anthropological fieldwork in the West Bank, during which the author lived in an illegal Jewish outpost settlement in the Judean Desert frontier. Despite being considered the most extreme settlers, and despite being at the forefront of the colonization of the West Bank, many of the “outpost people” are no longer motivated from the nationalist-messianic ideas that pushed forward the first generation of West Bank settlers. It is by disclosing the phenomenology of the flow that one is able to understand what drives the settler-colonial practices of this new generation of postideological settlers. More than a worldview, the flow is an existential force that animates these people’s settler-colonial way of being in the world. In disclosing the flow, this article also offers an understanding of a particular settler-colonial habitus, one that invites a different way to think about habitus as conceptualized by Pierre Bourdieu, and a somewhat different understanding of settler colonialism from the one ingrained in the field by Patrick Wolfe.
Hip Contact Forces During Sprinting in Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
Authors: GONÇALVES BASÍLIO A. M. , SAXBY DAVID J. , MEINDERS EVY , BARRETT ROD S. , DIAMOND LAURA E. 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT

Purpose
Sprinting often provokes hip pain in individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Asphericity of the femoral head–neck junction (cam morphology) characteristic of FAIS can increase the risk of anterior–superior acetabular cartilage damage. This study aimed to 1) compare hip contact forces (magnitude and direction) during sprinting between individuals with FAIS, asymptomatic cam morphology (CAM), and controls without cam morphology, and 2) identify the phases of sprinting with high levels of anteriorly directed hip contact forces.

Methods
Forty-six recreationally active individuals with comparable levels of physical activity were divided into three groups (FAIS, 14; CAM, 15; control, 17) based on their history of hip/groin pain, results of clinical impingement tests, and presence of cam morphology (alpha angle >55°). Three-dimensional marker trajectories, ground reaction forces, and electromyograms from 12 lower-limb muscles were recorded during 10-m overground sprinting trials. A linearly scaled electromyogram-informed neuromusculoskeletal model was used to calculate hip contact force magnitude (resultant, anterior–posterior, inferior–superior, medio-lateral) and angle (sagittal and frontal planes). Between-group comparisons were made using two-sample t-tests via statistical parametric mapping (P < 0.05).

Results
No significant differences in magnitude or direction of hip contact forces were observed between FAIS and CAM or between FAIS and control groups during any phase of the sprint cycle. The highest anteriorly directed hip contact forces were observed during the initial swing phase of the sprint cycle.

Conclusions
Hip contact forces during sprinting do not differentiate recreationally active individuals with FAIS from asymptomatic individuals with and without cam morphology. Hip loading during early swing, where peak anterior loading occurs, may be a potential mechanism for cartilage damage during sprinting-related sports in individuals with FAIS and/or asymptomatic cam morphology.

ABSTRACT

Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the relationships of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with all-cause and disease-specific mortality. We also investigated how the association between MVPA at leisure time (LT-MVPA) and health outcomes differs at different MVPA at work (WT-MVPA) levels.

Methods
The 81,601 community-dwelling Japanese persons age 50–79 yr who responded to a questionnaire in 2000–2003 were followed until 2018. Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine the association of total MVPA with risks of all-cause, cancer, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory disease mortality. Then, we compared the mortality risk according to the tertile of LT-MVPA, stratified by the tertile of WT-MVPA.

Results
During the 15.1 yr of average follow-up, 16,951 deaths were identified. Even total MVPA below the recommended volume (i.e., 0.1–1.49 MET·h·d−1) was associated with 11% to 24% reductions in all-cause (hazard ratio [HR], 0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82–0.96) and heart disease mortality (HR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.61–0.94), compared with no MVPA at all. The further reduced risks were seen in MVPA up to 10 MET·h·d−1. The inverse association between LT-MVPA and mortality risks was more evident at lower WT-MVPA, which was also inversely associated with the risks.

Conclusions
Health benefits were observed at low levels of MVPA and up to 10 MET·h·d−1, although the fine threshold for excessive MVPA was not clear. LT-MVPA had distinct health benefits especially for persons with lower WT-MVPA.
Washington Policy Analysts and the Propagation of Political Information
Authors: Bradley Daniel , Gokkaya Sinan , Liu Xi , Michaely Roni 
Published: October 2023

Washington policy research analysts (WAs) monitor political developments and produce research to interpret the impact of these events. We find institutional clients channel more commissions to brokerages providing policy research and commission-allocating institutional clients generate superior returns on their politically sensitive trades. We find that WA policy research reports are associated with significant price and volume reactions. Finally, we find sell-side analysts with access to WA issue superior stock recommendations on politically sensitive stocks. These effects are particularly acute during periods of high political uncertainty. Overall, we uncover a unique and an important conduit through which political information filters into asset prices.

Fair-Share Allocations for Agents with Arbitrary Entitlements
Authors: Babaioff Moshe , Ezra Tomer , Feige Uriel 
Published: October 2023

We consider the problem of fair allocation of indivisible goods to n agents with no transfers. When agents have equal entitlements, the well-established notion of the maximin share (MMS) serves as an attractive fairness criterion for which, to qualify as fair, an allocation needs to give every agent at least a substantial fraction of the agent’s MMS. In this paper, we consider the case of arbitrary (unequal) entitlements. We explain shortcomings in previous attempts that extend the MMS to unequal entitlements. Our conceptual contribution is the introduction of a new notion of a share, the AnyPrice share (APS), that is appropriate for settings with arbitrary entitlements. Even for the equal entitlements case, this notion is new and satisfies [Formula: see text], for which the inequality is sometimes strict. We present two equivalent definitions for the APS (one as a minimization problem, the other as a maximization problem) and provide comparisons between the APS and previous notions of fairness. Our main result concerns additive valuations and arbitrary entitlements, for which we provide a polynomial-time algorithm that gives every agent at least a [Formula: see text] - fraction of the agent’s APS. This algorithm can also be viewed as providing strategies in a certain natural bidding game, and these strategies secure each agent at least a [Formula: see text] - fraction of the agent’s APS.

High-precision surface profilometry on a micron-groove based on dual-comb electronically controlled optical sampling
Authors: Wu Ziling , Li Ameng , Xue Rui , Hu Minglie , Song Youjian 
Published: October 2023

We demonstrate an optical method for 3D profilometry of micro-nano devices with large step structures. The measurement principle is based on a dual-comb direct time-of-flight detection. An electronically controlled optical sampling (ECOPS) approach is used to improve the acquisition rate. In a proof-of-principle distance measurement experiment, the measurement precision reaches 15 nm at 4000-times averages. The method has been used to characterize the profile of a large aspect-ratio rectangular micron-groove with 10 µm width and 62.3 µm depth. By point-by-point scanning, a 3D point cloud image is obtained, and the 3D profile of the micro-structure is quantitatively reconstructed with sub-micrometer precision. The proposed high-precision, high-speed surface 3D profile measurement technology could be applied to profilometry and inspection of complex microelectronics devices in the future.
Erfolgsfaktoren und Quartierszufriedenheit in neuen Stadtquartieren – Eine geodatenbasierte Untersuchung in Düsseldorf
Authors: Naumann Lion Lukas , Nadler Michael 
Published: October 2023

ZusammenfassungDie Quartiersentwicklung in deutschen Großstädten steht vor wachsenden Anforderungen an Nachhaltigkeit, Smart Cities, gemeinwohlorientierte Stadtentwicklung und den akuten Wohnraummangel. Insbesondere der Neubau neuer Stadtquartiere steht dabei im Fokus, um diesen Herausforderungen gerecht zu werden. Dieser Artikel präsentiert eine empirische Untersuchung von fünf bedeutenden Quartiersprojekten in Düsseldorf, um die Erfüllung der vorgegebenen Kriterien für Nachhaltigkeit und Stadtentwicklung zu bewerten und Auswirkungen auf die Quartierszufriedenheit der Bewohner:innen zu analysieren. Dabei wurden mittels umfangreicher Datenanalysen und einer repräsentativen Haushaltsbefragung sowohl quantifizierbare städtebauliche Merkmale der städtischen Gestaltung als auch individuelle Wahrnehmungen der betroffenen Bevölkerung analysiert, um ein umfassendes Verständnis von erfolgreichen Quartiersentwicklungen zu erlangen. Zur statistischen Einordnung und Bewertung der Quartiere sowie zur Identifizierung von Zufriedenheitsfaktoren wurde eine Hauptkomponentenregression angewendet. Sowohl in der Datenanalyse als auch in der Wahrnehmung der Haushalte schnitten die Quartiere insgesamt außerordentlich gut ab, obwohl in Bereichen wie der sozialen Durchmischung, den Gebäudedichten und -strukturen Verbesserungspotenzial identifiziert wurde. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie liefern wertvolle Erkenntnisse für Akteure in der Stadtplanung und immobilienwirtschaftlichen Projektentwicklung. Sie verdeutlichen auch, dass sowohl spezifische urbane Elemente als auch individuelle Wohnmerkmale wie z. B. Wohnungsgrößen ebenfalls maßgeblich für die Quartierszufriedenheit sind. Die Erkenntnisse ermöglichen eine Optimierung städtebaulicher Vorhaben und eine gezielte Ressourcenallokation auf wichtige städtebauliche Qualitätsmerkmale in der Quartiersentwicklung.
Global burden and trends of ectopic pregnancy: An observational trend study from 1990 to 2019
Authors: Zhang Shufei , Liu Jianfeng , Yang Lian , Li Hanyue , Tang Jianming , Hong Li 
Published: October 2023

Background
Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is one of the leading causes of death in women in early pregnancy, and the mortality of EP have gradually decreased over time in developed countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. However, epidemiological information on EP has been lacking in recent years, so we analyzed EP data over a thirty-year period from 1990–2019 with the help of Global Burden of Disease study (GBD) data to fill this gap.

Methods
According to the EP data in GBD for the three decades from 1990 to 2019, we used estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) to assess the trend of age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized death rate (ASDR) and age-standardized disability adjusted life years (AS-DALYs) trends in EP and to explore the correlation between socio-demographic index (SDI) stratification, age stratification and EP.

Results
Global ASIR, ASDR, AS-DALYs for EP in 2019 are 170.33/100,000 persons (95% UI: 133.18 to 218.49), 0.16/100,000 persons (95% UI, 0.14 to 0.19) and 9.69/100,000 persons (95% UI, 8.27 to 11.31), respectively. At the overall level, ASDR is significantly negatively correlated with SDI values (R = -0.699, p < 0.001). Besides that, ASDR and AS-DALYs have basically the same pattern. In addition, iron deficiency is one of the risk factors for EP.

Conclusions
In the past three decades, the morbidity, mortality and disease burden of EP have gradually decreased. It is noteworthy that some economically disadvantaged areas are still experiencing an increase in all indicators, therefore, it is more important to strengthen the protection of women from ethnic minorities and low-income groups.
Shared decision making on mode of delivery following a prior cesarean delivery in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Authors: Yussuph Zainab Hassan , Alwy Al-beity Fadhlun M. 
Published: October 2023

Background
Shared decision-making between clinicians and pregnant women with prior cesarean on the subsequent mode of delivery improves trial of labor rates, and reduces the number of repeat cesarean sections and their related complications. However, this practice is insufficient worldwide and the factors influencing it are still unknown. The study aimed at determining the proportion of pregnant women involved in shared decision-making and its associated factors in Dar es Salaam.

Methods
A cross-sectional analytical study among 350 pregnant women with one prior cesarean section. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and SPSS 23 was used for analysis. A score of 80 or higher on the nine-item Shared Decision-Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q9) was used to calculate the proportion of women, and the associated factors were obtained using a logistic regression model. P value of < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results
The proportion of pregnant women involved in shared decision making was 38%. Factors that were significantly associated with sharing decision making were; having low level of education (AOR 0.55 95% CI 0.33–0.91), being married/having partner (AOR 2.58 95% CI 1.43–4.63), having a companion who had active participation (AOR 3.31 95% CI 1.03–10.6) and being familiar with the clinician (AOR 5.01 95% CI 1.30–19.2).

Conclusion
To promote practice of shared decision making in our setting, encouragement of socially vulnerable pregnant women’s participation in decision-making by health care professionals, encouragement of companion participation during antenatal care and promotion of personal continuity of care to improve familiarity to clinicians are needed.
How much is a chef’s touch worth? Affective, emotional and behavioural responses to food images: A multimodal study
Authors: Rosa Pedro J. , Madeira Arlindo , Oliveira Jorge , Palrão Teresa 
Published: October 2023

Background
Food aesthetics influences affective dimensions (valence and arousal) and subsequent emotional and behavioural responses in images presented in more traditional form, almost rustic in some cases, to the signature dishes of haute cuisine. However, the visual impact of images of haute cuisine dishes on consumers’ affective and emotional responses compared to traditional dishes is still understudied.

Methods
We recorded electrodermal activity, ocular movements and self-report affect of 35 volunteers while they performed a picture viewing paradigm using images of haute cuisine food, traditional food, and non-food. Additionally, the moderating role of age was examined.

Results
Our results showed that subjects had higher feelings of pleasure and arousal toward images of food (haute cuisine and traditional dishes) compared to non-food images. However, no difference in self-report affect, physiological and behavioural responses was found between haute cuisine and traditional dishes. Interestingly, a moderating effect of age was revealed, reporting that younger participants had greater feelings of pleasure and shorter eye-to-screen distance towards traditional food than haute cuisine.

Conclusions
As a whole, our findings suggest that food aesthetics could at least partially affect consumers’ affective and emotional responses. Interestingly, physiological responses to food pictures seemed to be relatively independent of approach/avoidance motivational states, supporting the assumption that traditional visual restaurant menus with attractive images might be insufficient for eliciting intense positive emotions. This study also contributes to advancing the understanding of the role that age plays in emotional impact when images of haute cuisine dishes are presented to consumers.
Active learning in undergraduate classroom dental education- a scoping review
Authors: Perez Arnaldo , Green Jacqueline , Moharrami Mohammad , Gianoni-Capenakas Silvia , Kebbe Maryam , Ganatra Seema , Ball Geoff , Sharmin Nazlee 
Published: October 2023

Introduction
Previous reviews on active learning in dental education have not comprehensibly summarized the research activity on this topic as they have largely focused on specific active learning strategies. This scoping review aimed to map the breadth and depth of the research activity on active learning strategies in undergraduate classroom dental education.

Methods
The review was guided by Arksey & O’Malley’s multi-step framework and followed the PRISMA Extension Scoping Reviews guidelines. MEDLINE, ERIC, EMBASE, and Scopus databases were searched from January 2005 to October 2022. Peer-reviewed, primary research articles published in English were selected. Reference lists of relevant studies were verified to improve the search. Two trained researchers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full-texts articles for eligibility and extracted the relevant data.

Results
In total, 93 studies were included in the review. All studies performed outcome evaluations, including reaction evaluation alone (n = 32; 34.4%), learning evaluation alone (n = 19; 20.4%), and reaction and learning evaluations combined (n = 42; 45.1%). Most studies used quantitative approaches (n = 85; 91.3%), performed post-intervention evaluations (n = 70; 75.3%), and measured student satisfaction (n = 73; 78.5%) and knowledge acquisition (n = 61; 65.6%) using direct and indirect (self-report) measures. Only 4 studies (4.3%) reported faculty data in addition to student data. Flipped learning, group discussion, problem-based learning, and team-based learning were the active learning strategies most frequently evaluated (≥6 studies). Overall, most studies found that active learning improved satisfaction and knowledge acquisition and was superior to traditional lectures based on direct and indirect outcome measures.

Conclusion
Active learning has the potential to enhance student learning in undergraduate classroom dental education; however, robust process and outcome evaluation designs are needed to demonstrate its effectiveness in this educational context. Further research is warranted to evaluate the impact of active learning strategies on skill development and behavioral change in order to support the competency-based approach in dental education.

Published: October 2023

BackgroundAlthough trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) shows a notable correlation with cardiovascular disease, its association with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains uncertain and necessitates further investigation.ObjectiveA meta-analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between trimethylamine-N-oxide and acute ischemic stroke.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, and CBM, spanning from their inception to 23 September 2023. The search was consistently updated and supplemented by bibliographies of retrieved articles and previous reviews. A total of 20 eligible studies, including 17 case‒controls and 3 cohort studies, were selected, involving 9141 participants (5283 case group, 3858 control group). For the dose‒response analysis, three case–control studies were eligible. We extracted and pooled TMAO mean and standard deviation from observational studies for control and ischemic stroke groups. The effect sizes were combined using the random-effects model. Where possible, dose‒response analysis was performed.ResultOverall, the pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) demonstrated significantly higher concentrations of serum/plasma TMAO in AIS compared to the control group (SMD = 1.27; 95% CI: 0.9, 1.61, P<0.001). Additionally, the dose‒response meta-analysis revealed a 12.1% relative increase in the risk of acute ischemic stroke per 1 μmol/L rise in TMAO concentration (RR = 1.12; 95% CI 1.07–1.17; P<0.05; I2= 1.6%, P = 0.4484).ConclusionThese findings indicate a potential increased risk of AIS associated with elevated TMAO levels.
