AbstractFacial palsy (FP) profoundly influences interpersonal communication and emotional expression, necessitating precise diagnostic and monitoring tools for optimal care. However, current electromyography (EMG) systems are limited by their bulky nature, complex setups, and dependence on skilled technicians. Here we report an innovative biosensing approach that utilizes a PEDOT:PSS-modified flexible microneedle electrode array (P-FMNEA) to overcome the limitations of existing EMG devices. Supple system-level mechanics ensure excellent conformality to the facial curvilinear regions, enabling the detection of targeted muscular ensemble movements for facial paralysis assessment. Moreover, our apparatus adeptly captures each electrical impulse in response to real-time direct nerve stimulation during neurosurgical procedures. The wireless conveyance of EMG signals to medical facilities via a server augments access to patient follow-up evaluation data, fostering prompt treatment suggestions and enabling the access of multiple facial EMG datasets during typical 6-month follow-ups. Furthermore, the device’s soft mechanics alleviate issues of spatial intricacy, diminish pain, and minimize soft tissue hematomas associated with traditional needle electrode positioning. This groundbreaking biosensing strategy has the potential to transform FP management by providing an efficient, user-friendly, and less invasive alternative to the prevailing EMG devices. This pioneering technology enables more informed decision-making in FP-management and therapeutic intervention.
Muscle anatomy is reflected in the spatial organization of the spinal motoneuron pools
Authors: Taitano Rachel I. , Yakovenko Sergiy , Gritsenko Valeriya 
Published: January 2024

AbstractNeural circuits embed limb dynamics for motor control and sensorimotor integration. The somatotopic organization of motoneuron pools in the spinal cord may support these computations. Here, we tested if the spatial organization of motoneurons is related to the musculoskeletal anatomy. We created a 3D model of motoneuron locations within macaque spinal cord and compared the spatial distribution of motoneurons to the anatomical organization of the muscles they innervate. We demonstrated that the spatial distribution of motoneuron pools innervating the upper limb and the anatomical relationships between the muscles they innervate were similar between macaque and human species. Using comparative analysis, we found that the distances between motoneuron pools innervating synergistic muscles were the shortest, followed by those innervating antagonistic muscles. Such spatial organization can support the co-activation of synergistic muscles and reciprocal inhibition of antagonistic muscles. The spatial distribution of motoneurons may play an important role in embedding musculoskeletal dynamics.

AbstractRemotely sensed evapotranspiration (ET) data offer strong potential to support data-driven approaches for sustainable water management. However, practitioners require robust and rigorous accuracy assessments of such data. The OpenET system, which includes an ensemble of six remote sensing models, was developed to increase access to field-scale (30 m) ET data for the contiguous United States. Here we compare OpenET outputs against data from 152 in situ stations, primarily eddy covariance flux towers, deployed across the contiguous United States. Mean absolute error at cropland sites for the OpenET ensemble value is 15.8 mm per month (17% of mean observed ET), mean bias error is −5.3 mm per month (6%) and r2 is 0.9. Results for shrublands and forested sites show higher inter-model variability and lower accuracy relative to croplands. High accuracy and multi-model convergence across croplands demonstrate the utility of a model ensemble approach, and enhance confidence among ET data practitioners, including the agricultural water resource management community.
Patient formateur : quel impact sur les représentations des étudiants ? Étude qualitative auprès d'étudiants en kinésithérapie
Authors: Jounin Marie 
Published: January 2024

Contexte : Le partenariat de soins entre professionnels et patients est fondé sur la reconnaissance des patients comme acteurs de soins à part entière ainsi que sur la reconnaissance de l'interdépendance de leurs savoirs avec ceux des professionnels. Pour contribuer au déploiement de ce modèle de soin, l'intégration de patients partenaires formateurs dans la formation des futurs soignants est considérée comme un des leviers les plus pertinents. Objectif : Observer l'impact d'un enseignement en partenariat patient-professionnel sur les représentations d'étudiants en masso-kinésithérapie. Méthodes : Dans le cadre de cette étude qualitative monocentrique, des étudiants en deuxième année de formation en masso-kinésithérapie ont été répartis en deux groupes. Chaque groupe a participé à une séquence d'enseignement en éducation thérapeutique du patient, l'un avec un patient formateur, l'autre avec un formateur kinésithérapeute. Les représentations d'étudiants des deux groupes ont été explorées via des entretiens semi-directifs. Résultats : Faire l'expérience d'une formation construite et animée par un patient formateur, même lorsqu'elle est courte et non-reproduite dans le temps, semble affecter les représentations des étudiants, notamment dans leur reconnaissance des savoirs expérientiels des patients. Il ressort que les étudiants ayant participé à l'enseignement du patient formateur considèrent davantage les patients comme porteurs d'une expertise dans les soins et pouvant agir comme formateur dans leur parcours professionnel. Conclusion : Cette étude plaide pour le développement de l'inclusion de patients formateurs en santé. Elle donne lieu à de nouveaux questionnements qui permettraient d'aller plus loin dans la compréhension des répercussions engendrées sur les étudiants.

Authors: Tardif Jacques 
Published: January 2024

Contexte et problématique : La prévision de la nature et des caractéristiques des formations offertes aux étudiants dans le domaine de la santé à la rentrée 2037, soit dans 15 ans, est un exercice complexe et en partie spéculatif. Quelques tendances lourdes semblent cependant pouvoir être anticipées. Exégèse : L’auteur examine les facteurs identifiés comme devant être influents dans le secteur de la santé à l’horizon 2040. Ceux-ci concernent de multiples champs : politique, économique, social, technologique, organisationnel et managérial, environnemental, légal, éthique. Au plan éducationnel, il postule que les dispositifs curriculaires et pédagogiques évolueront d’une logique d’enseignement vers une approche centrée sur les activités d’apprentissage, visant à la fois la maîtrise de compétences, l’appropriation d’une culture professionnelle et le développement d’une identité professionnelle.
Postcolonial ecocritical reading of Satyajit Ray’s Sikkim and Goutam Ghose’s Padma Nadir Majhi
Authors: Dutta Dey Sujata , Singh Rajni 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis article aims to offer an interpretive analysis of two seminal cinematic works: Satyajit Ray’s Sikkim (1971) and Goutam Ghose’s Padma Nadir Majhi (1993). It posits these films as modes of inquiry, elucidating the ecological issues that have spurred a transformative reconsideration of humanity’s relationship with the nonhuman world. Moreover, this study underscores the intricate comprehension of the interdependence between human and natural realms, portraying it as a foundational facet of postcolonial discourse. Postcolonialism has long recognized the inseparable linkage between the ideological constructs of nature and the exploitation of marginalized populations and their respective environments. The psychological ramifications of colonial rule have wrought an indelible impact upon the ecological landscape and the hallowed rapport shared between indigenous communities and their natural surroundings. The indigenous populace’s allure towards Western cultural paradigms, preconceptions, and institutions has often induced a forfeiture of their own cultural heritage in favor of the ex-colonizers’ ideologies. Both of these venerable cinematographers, through their cinematic oeuvre, have meticulously documented the enduring significance of nature within the tapestry of Indian culture, especially in the context of contemporary, globalized milieu.
Is the relationship between institutional distance and subsidiary performance moderated by top management team? Evidence from Chinese multinational enterprises
Authors: Lu Xiaojing , Boo Sebastian Jacques Manuel , Liu Xiaming 
Published: January 2024

AbstractInstitutional distance is well-recognised as having a significant influence on MNE subsidiary performance in host countries. However, there is less clarity as to how the institutional distance is managed by top management teams of MNEs. Specifically, it is not known whether the previous work experiences of the top management team (TMT) can moderate how institutional distance impacts subsidiary performance. The purpose of our research is to address the research question, how do different work experiences among the TMT moderate the relationship between institutional distance and subsidiary performance? To empirically answer this question, we use a sample of 6119 Chinese MNE subsidiaries with 34,870 TMT managers. We apply ordinary least square (OLS) regression and bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrap (BCa) to the data. The results indicate that the strength of the negative relationship between institutional distance and MNE subsidiary performance is conditional on the different work experiences of the TMT. We show that the negative relationship between institutional distance and MNE subsidiary performance is strengthened with an increase in expatriates in the TMT who have home country work experience (β = −0.346, p < 0.05) but mitigated with an increase of managers in the TMT who have host country work experience (β = 0.129, p < 0.01). Additionally, the negative relationship between institutional distance and subsidiary performance is weakened by increasing diversity of TMT’s international experience (β = 0.555, p < 0.01). Notably, the TMT’s international experience in weak-institution markets has a more salient mitigating effect on the negative relationship than work experienced gained in strong-institution markets. This study contributes to the integration of TMT perspective into institutional management and has practical implications for the staffing strategy of MNE subsidiaries.

Self-attention-driven retrieval of chest CT images for COVID-19 assessment
Authors: Fili Victoria , Savelonas Michalis 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Numerous methods have been developed for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), based on chest computed tomography (CT) images. The majority of these methods are based on deep neural networks and often act as “black boxes” that cannot easily gain the trust of medical community, whereas their result is uniformly influenced by all image regions. This work introduces a novel, self-attention-driven method for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) of chest CT images. The proposed method analyzes a query CT image and returns a classification result, as well as a list of classified images, ranked according to similarity with the query. Each CT image is accompanied by a heatmap, which is derived by gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) and represents the contribution of lung tissue and lesions to COVID-19 pathology. Beyond visualization, Grad-CAM weights are employed in a self-attention mechanism, in order to strengthen the influence of the most COVID-19-related image regions on the retrieval result. Experiments on two publicly available datasets demonstrate that the binary classification accuracy obtained by means of DenseNet-201 is 81.3% and 96.4%, for COVID-CT and SARS-CoV-2 datasets, respectively, with a false negative rate which is less than 3% in both datasets. In addition, the Grad-CAM-guided CBIR framework slightly outperforms the plain CBIR in most cases, with respect to nearest neighbour (NN) and first four (FF). The proposed method could serve as a computational tool for a more transparent decision-making process that could be trusted by the medical community. In addition, the employed self-attention mechanism increases the obtained retrieval performance.
Fragmentstein—facilitating data reuse for cell-free DNA fragment analysis
Authors: Balázs Zsolt , Gitchev Todor , Ivanković Ivna , Krauthammer Michael 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Summary
Method development for the analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing data is impeded by limited data sharing due to the strict control of sensitive genomic data. An existing solution for facilitating data sharing removes nucleotide-level information from raw cfDNA sequencing data, keeping alignment coordinates only. This simplified format can be publicly shared and would, theoretically, suffice for common functional analyses of cfDNA data. However, current bioinformatics software requires nucleotide-level information and cannot process the simplified format. We present Fragmentstein, a command-line tool for converting non-sensitive cfDNA-fragmentation data into alignment mapping (BAM) files. Fragmentstein complements fragment coordinates with sequence information from a reference genome to reconstruct BAM files. We demonstrate the utility of Fragmentstein by showing the feasibility of copy number variant (CNV), nucleosome occupancy, and fragment length analyses from non-sensitive fragmentation data.

Availability and implementation
Implemented in bash, Fragmentstein is available at https://github.com/uzh-dqbm-cmi/fragmentstein, licensed under GNU GPLv3.
Conscription and Gender in Mass Opinion on Foreign Affairs: South Korean Views of North Korea
Authors: Bae Joonbum , Lee YuJung Julia 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
How does military conscription influence mass opinion on foreign affairs? Is gender relevant for the impact compulsory service has on public opinion? Leveraging South Korea's mandatory military service for men and fluctuations in inter-Korea relations from 2003 to 2018, we assess conscription's impact on South Korean opinions of North Korea. We rely on the random nature of a child's gender, given the number of children in a family, to infer the effect of conscription on the views of parents via a “son effect." While the gender and foreign policy opinion literature suggests that female aversion to the costs of conflict can result in positive views toward an adversary, we find that the high costs of conscription result in mothers of sons subject to military service holding more negative and hostile perceptions of North Korea compared to women with no sons as well as men. We do not find such differences between fathers of sons and men without sons.
BRD2 and BRD3 genes independently evolved RNA structures to control unproductive splicing
Authors: Petrova Marina , Margasyuk Sergey , Vorobeva Margarita , Skvortsov Dmitry , Dontsova Olga A , Pervouchine Dmitri D 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The mammalian BRD2 and BRD3 genes encode structurally related proteins from the bromodomain and extraterminal domain protein family. The expression of BRD2 is regulated by unproductive splicing upon inclusion of exon 3b, which is located in the region encoding a bromodomain. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that BRD2 exon 3b inclusion is controlled by a pair of conserved complementary regions (PCCR) located in the flanking introns. Furthermore, we identified a highly conserved element encoding a cryptic poison exon 5b and a previously unknown PCCR in the intron between exons 5 and 6 of BRD3, however, outside of the homologous bromodomain. Minigene mutagenesis and blockage of RNA structure by antisense oligonucleotides demonstrated that RNA structure controls the rate of inclusion of poison exons. The patterns of BRD2 and BRD3 expression and splicing show downregulation upon inclusion of poison exons, which become skipped in response to transcription elongation slowdown, further confirming a role of PCCRs in unproductive splicing regulation. We conclude that BRD2 and BRD3 independently acquired poison exons and RNA structures to dynamically control unproductive splicing. This study describes a convergent evolution of regulatory unproductive splicing mechanisms in these genes, providing implications for selective modulation of their expression in therapeutic applications.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objective
Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) is a new comprehensive metric based on Life’s Simple 7 (LS7). Few studies have investigated the association between LE8 and the odds of hyperuricaemia (HUA). This study examined the association between LE8, LS7 with odds of HUA.

Methods
We cross-sectionally analysed data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study. LE8 and LS7 were categorized as low, moderate and high. The CMEC provided an ideal and unique opportunity to characterize the association between LE8, LS7 and the odds of HUA.

Results
Of the 89 823 participants, 14 562 (16.2%) had HUA. A high level of LE8 was associated with lower odds of HUA after full adjustment. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were 1 (reference), 0.70 (95% CI 0.67, 0.73) and 0.45 (0.42, 0.48) across low, moderate and high LE8 groups, respectively (Ptrend &lt; 0.001). Similar results were observed in LS7 and HUA. The adjusted ORs were 1 (reference), 0.68 (95% CI 0.65, 0.71) and 0.46 (95% CI 0.43, 0.49) across low, moderate and high LS7 groups, respectively (Ptrend &lt; 0.001). There were significant interactions between LE8 and age, gender, ethnicity and drinking habits on HUA. Receiver operating characteristics analysis showed that the area under the curve for LE8 and LS7 were similar (0.638 and 0.635, respectively).

Conclusion
This study indicated a clearly inverse gradient association between the cardiovascular health metrics LE8 and LS7 and the odds of HUA.
