Big mapping class groups with uncountable integral homology
Authors: Palmer Martin , Wu Xiaolei 
Published: February 2024

We prove that, for any infinite-type surface

S

, the integral homology of the closure of the compactly-supported mapping class group

\smash{\overline{\mathrm{PMap}_c(S)}}

and of the Torelli group

\mathcal{T}(S)

is uncountable in every positive degree. By our results in [arXiv:2211.07470] and other known computations, such a statement cannot be true for the full mapping class group

\mathrm{Map}(S)

for all infinite-type surfaces

S

. However, we are still able to prove that the integral homology of

\mathrm{Map}(S)

is uncountable in all positive degrees for a large class of infinite-type surfaces

S

. The key property of this class of surfaces is, roughly, that the space of ends of the surface

S

contains a limit point of topologically distinguished points. Our result includes in particular all finite-genus surfaces having countable end spaces with a unique point of maximal Cantor–Bendixson rank

\alpha

, where

\alpha

is a successor ordinal. We also observe an order-

Primary and Secondary Suffering in Psychiatry, Oncology, Buddhism, Transhumanism, and the Necessity of Its Overcoming
Authors: Ivanchenko Mariia A. 
Published: February 2024

The paper raises the question of the essence and necessity of primary and secondary suffering in psychiatry, oncology, Buddhism, and transhumanism. It directly explores the phenomenon of suffering, drawing a distinction between primary and secondary suffering in these domains of medicine and philosophy. The article presents objections to common misconceptions regarding the irreplaceable and significant role of suffering in human experience and for humanity as a whole.
The study aims to deconstruct the assumed value of primary and secondary suffering for both humans and posthumanity. An analysis of the problem of primary and secondary suffering is conducted to substantiate the fundamental importance of overcoming suffering as such.
One of the research methods employed is the conducting of analytical, focused individual interviews with medical professionals and religious figures, complemented by content analysis. A deconstructive and phenomenological approach is also utilized.
Both psychiatric and oncological fields are selected as exemplars representing the quintessence of mental and physical suffering. Buddhism and transhumanism are chosen as philosophical responses to the suffering addressed in psychiatry and oncology.
Emphasizing the problem of suffering is essential to prioritize its resolution. Meditation is suggested as a method for addressing secondary suffering; science and technology are proposed as means to overcome suffering in general. The article is intended for a broad readership, particularly researchers in philosophy, psychology, futurology, as well as for posthumanists, transhumanists, immortalists, and those interested in the topic of overcoming suffering, illness, senility, and death.
Teologi Kitab Amos sebagai Kontinuitas: Suatu Tinjauan Sejarah Sosial Karya Redaktur Periode Pra hingga Pasca-Pembuangan
Authors: Kaury Markus 
Published: February 2024

The Book of Amos is part of the book of minor prophets in the Old Testament canon that has a variety of interpretations, especially in interpreting parts of the text that have a different social history from Amos's lifetime as a writer. Different approaches to social history certainly result in diverse theologies. Themes vary on Israel's salvation history as grace and obedience to God in an eschatological sense, but there is also the view that the time of salvation was revealed through restoration at the time the prophet gave a speech. The purpose of writing this article is to find the influence and contribution of the role of later writers of the Book of Amos, who redacted different theological themes based on the book's interpretation history. The method used is social situation analysis to analyze the history of the circulation of the prophetic oration in the book of Amos. In their life situations, the writers contributed to shaping the theology of the Book of Amos. The results of this study show that the essence of Amos's theology originating from different periods builds character and theology in the lives of righteous people. People are increasingly convinced of God's inclusion in the history of living situations.

Group B consisted of 20 patients were treated with Jatamansi Churna internally and Nirgundi taila Padabhyanga for 15 days. A comparison was done between Group A and Group B and the assessment was made before and after treatment. Results: The better result was obtained in Group B in reducing the subjective and objective parameters of Nidranasha than Group A. Conclusion: It can be said that, internal application of it can be said that, internal application of Jatamansi Churna along with Nirgundi Tila Padabhyanga could be the effective tools for the management of Nidranasha along with Nirgundi Tila Padabhyanga could be the effective tools for management of Nidranasha.
Japanese readability assessment using machine learning
Authors: Reynolds Robert , Ivie Tyler 
Published: February 2024

We present a new corpus of Japanese texts, labeled according to six second-language readability levels. We also show the results of experiments training machine-learning classifiers to automatically label new texts according to reading level. The resulting models can be used in language-learning websites and applications to enhance Japanese language learning. The best-performing model, Random Forest, achieved an F1 score of 0.86, with an adjacent accuracy of 0.97. Of the 114 features used, we identify a small subset of five features that are sufficient to achieve an F1 score of 0.74. The corpus, code, and resulting models are free and open-source.¹ ¹ https://github.com/reynoldsnlp/japanese_readability_corpus
A machine learning approach to Czech readability
Authors: Williams Peter Jeffrey , Reynolds Robert 
Published: February 2024

We present a new corpus of Czech texts labeled for second-language readability, and show results of experiments to train machine-learning classifiers to automatically label new texts according to reading level. We report results comparing the performance of traditional machine-learning models (including Random Forest, XGBoost, Linear Discriminant Analysis, and XGBoost Random Forest) and a neural network (XLM-RoBERTa). The results of our research can be implemented in tools to support learning Czech, a less commonly taught language. We extract 46 linguistic features in various categories for use with traditional machine-learning algorithms. We train models on these features and evaluate their performance with recursive feature elimination to determine how informative each feature is for each model. We then compare those results to those of a transformer trained for the same task on the same corpus. XGBoost achieves the highest accuracy at 0.81, suggesting that these traditional models can still perform as well as, or better, than newer models on this task. Notably, the transformer has the lowest mean F1 at 0.74.¹ ¹ Code available at https://github.com/peterjwms/czech-readability.

jsmetrics v0.2.0: a Python package for metrics and algorithms used to identify or characterise atmospheric jet streams
Authors: Keel Tom , Brierley Chris , Edwards Tamsin 
Published: February 2024

Abstract. The underlying dynamics controlling jet streams are complex, but it is expected that they will have an observable response to changes in the larger climatic system. A growing divergence in regional surface warming trends across the planet, which has been both observed and projected since the start of the 20th century, has likely altered the thermodynamic relationships responsible for jet stream formation and control. Despite this, the exact movements and trends in the changes to the jet streams generally remain unclear and without consensus in the literature. The latest IPCC report highlighted that trends both within and between a variety of observational and modelling studies were inconsistent (Gulev et al., 2021; Lee et al., 2021). Trends in jet streams were associated with low to medium confidence, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. However, what is often overlooked in evaluating these trends is the confused message in the literature around how to first identify, and then characterise, the jet streams themselves. We classify the methods for characterising jet streams in the literature into three broad strategies: statistics that isolate individual values from the wind speed profile (jet statistics), methods for quantifying the sinuosity of the upper air (waviness metrics), and algorithms that identify a mask related to the coordinates of fast-flowing wind throughout the horizontal and/or vertical plane (jet core algorithms). While each approach can capture particular characteristics and changes, they are subject to the spatial and temporal specifications of their definition. There is therefore value in using them in combination to assess parametric and structural uncertainty and to carry out sensitivity analyses. Here, we describe jsmetrics version 0.2.0, a new open-source Python 3 module with standardised versions of 17 metrics that have been used for jet stream characterisation. We demonstrate the application of this library with two case studies derived from ERA5 climate reanalysis data.

Abstract. Mineral dust aerosols are composed of a complex assemblage of various minerals depending on the region in which they originated. Given the different mineral composition of desert dust aerosols, different physicochemical properties and therefore varying climate effects are expected. Despite the known regional variations in mineral composition, chemical transport models typically assume that mineral dust aerosols have uniform composition. This study adds, for the first time, mineralogical information to the mineral dust emission scheme used in the chemical transport model COSMO–MUSCAT. We provide a detailed description of the implementation of the mineralogical database, GMINER (Nickovic et al., 2012), together with a specific set of physical parameterizations in the model's mineral dust emission module, which led to a general improvement of the model performance when comparing the simulated mineral dust aerosols with measurements over the Sahara region for January–February 2022. The simulated mineral dust aerosol vertical distribution is tested by a comparison with aerosol lidar measurements from the lidar system PollyXT, located at Cape Verde. For a lofted mineral dust aerosol layer on 2 February at 05:00 UTC the lidar retrievals yield a dust mass concentration peak of 156 µg m−3, while the model calculates the mineral dust peak at 136 µg m−3. The results highlight the possibility of using the model with resolved mineral dust composition for interpretation of the lidar measurements since a higher absorption in the UV–Vis wavelengths is correlated with particles having a higher hematite content. Additionally, the comparison with in situ mineralogical measurements of dust aerosol particles shows that more of them are needed for model evaluation.

The pathophysiology of postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC): Possible role for persistent inflammation
Authors: Marshall Gailen D. 
Published: February 2024

Background:
As the SARS-CoV-2-induced pandemic wanes, a substantial number of patients with acute Corona Virus-induced disease (COVID-19 continue to have symptoms for a prolonged time after initial infection. These patients are said to have postacute sequelae of COVID (PASC) or “long COVID”. The underlying pathophysiology of this syndrome is poorly understood and likely quite heterogeneous. The role of persistent, possibly deviant inflammation as a major factor in comorbidity is suspected.

Objective:
To review data that address the relative importance of inflammation in the pathophysiology spectrum of PASC and to address how this would impact diagnosis and approach to therapy in patients identified as having such inflammatory abnormalities.

Methods:
A review of public databases, including PubMed, MeSH, NLM catalog, and clinical trial databases such as clinicaltrials.gov.

Results:
The literature supports a prominent role for various forms and types of inflammation in the pathophysiologic spectrum of PASC. Such inflammation can be persistent ant CoV-2-specific responses, new onset autoimmune responses, or a loss of normal immunoregulation resulting in widespread, sustained inflammatory pathologies that can affect both broad constitutional symptoms (such as fatigue, neurocognitive dysfunction, and anxiety/depression) and organ-specific dysfunction and/or failure.

Conclusions:
PASC is a significant clinical entity with similarities to and differences from other postviral syndromes. Significant research efforts are ongoing to better understand specific aberrant inflammatory pathways present in individual patients for the purpose of developing and implementing effective therapies and ultimately prophylaxis strategies to prevent the progression of COVID-19 as well as likely future viral illnesses and pandemics.

Published: February 2024

Background:
Given the deficits in allergists and testing capacity, the diagnosis of drug allergy is largely dependent on the clinician’s and pharmacist’s judgment. The ability to recognize drug allergies and respond appropriately is crucial to patient safety. Currently, there is a void in the evidence that limits the ability to recommend comprehensive and swift improvements on this front.

Objective:
This study thus aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice toward drug allergy among doctors and pharmacists working in public healthcare facilities in Sabah, Malaysia.

Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted in 24 hospitals and 11 clinics in Sabah. A validated Drug Allergy Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire was adapted from a published study and developed on an online survey platform. The questionnaire was distributed to all listed eligible respondents via email and personal messenger service.

Results:
A total of 549 doctors and pharmacists responded, with an overall response rate of 18.2%. The total mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 8.3 (SD, 1.98), 18.9 (SD, 2.55), and 17.3 (SD, 4.4), respectively. It was found that pharmacists performed significantly poorer than both medical officers (mean score difference = −0.5; P = 0.006) and specialists (mean score difference = −0.9; P = 0.020) in the knowledge domain. As the time in service doubles, the knowledge score increases significantly by 0.3 (P = 0.015).

Conclusion:
Knowledge, attitude, and practice on drug allergy among doctors and pharmacists in Sabah were poor. It is thus timely for advanced educational programs on drug allergy to be formalized and implemented.
Association of interleukin-13 gene single nucleotide polymorphism rs1800925 with allergic asthma in Asian population: A meta-analysis
Authors: Gaceja Kenneth V. , Ancheta Zaynah Faith R. , Buna Abigail Charisse A. , Clarencio Sandra Mae S. , Garrido Maria Angelica R. , Ramos John Donnie A. 
Published: February 2024

Background:
The interleukin-13 (IL-13) gene has been associated with allergic asthma pathogenesis due to its role in IgE synthesis. The IL-13 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1800925 has been implicated in exacerbated allergic asthma symptoms in different ethnicities.

Objectives:
To determine the association of IL-13 SNP rs1800925 with allergic asthma symptoms in the Asian population

Methods:
Major databases were searched for studies on the association of IL-13 rs1800925 with allergic asthma in various Asian populations published between 2010 and February 2022. The odds ratio with 95% CI was obtained from included studies, and the association was evaluated using different genetic models. Heterogeneity was explored by subgroup analyses and I
2 statistic evaluation.

Results:
Eleven studies with a total of 2895 cases and 2914 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The majority of the cases exhibited CC genotype (n = 1897), followed by CT genotype (n = 852), and TT genotype (n = 146). IL-13 rs1800925 was significantly associated with increased allergic asthma risk in the Asian population under the recessive model (TT vs CT/CC: OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.14–1.93; P = 0.37; I
2 = 08%). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity showed an elevated risk of allergic asthma in West Asians (Iranian and Saudi Arabian) followed by East Asians (Chinese and Japanese) using the recessive model. Both age groups (adults and children) exhibited an increased risk of allergic asthma.

Conclusion:
This meta-analysis provides evidence that IL-13 SNP rs1800925 is a risk factor for allergic asthma in the Asian Population. It also suggests that rs1800925 is a risk factor present in both adult and children population.
