Muito além do cyberpunk: Reflexões sobre a ficção retrofuturista
Authors: Silva Alexander Meireles da 
Published: January 2024

Este artigo examina o surgimento e manifestações do subgênero da ficção científica chamada aqui de Ficção retrofuturista. Ela surgiu na década de 1980 a partir do cyberpunk e da reflexão sobre as ansiedades do contexto finissecular em relação aos avanços de sistemas de informação e o agravamento do quadro de desigualdades sociais. Logo, o cyberpunk se estabeleceu como uma das formas mais representativas da ficção científica de fim do século 20. No início da década seguinte, o cyberpunk fomentou a ascensão do steampunk - a primeira expressão retrofuturista - que examina o impacto de inovações tecnológicas dos séculos 20 e 21 em cenários normalmente localizados no século 19. A partir do steampunk, outras vertentes retrofuturistas foram criadas, explorando a influência da antecipação do futuro no passado de diferentes épocas. Dentro deste cenário, este trabalho se justifica pela ausência de reflexões acadêmicas no Brasil sobre o lugar de destaque que o retrofuturismo vem ocupando na ficção científica nacional do século 21.

BACKGROUND:
This study aimed to quantify the association between childhood family environment and longitudinal cardiovascular health (CVH) in adult CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) Study participants. We further investigated whether the association differs by adult income.

METHODS:
We applied the CVH framework from the American Heart Association including metrics for smoking, cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose, body mass index, physical activity, and diet. CVH scores (range, 0–14) were calculated at years 0, 7, and 20 of the study. Risky Family environment (range, 7–28) was assessed at year 15 retrospectively, for childhood experiences of abuse, caregiver warmth, and family or household challenges. Complete case ordinal logistic regression and mixed models associated risky family (exposure) with CVH (outcome), adjusting for age, sex, race, and alcohol use.

RESULTS:
The sample (n=2074) had a mean age of 25.3 (±3.5) years and 56% females at baseline. The median risky family was 10 with ideal CVH (≥12) met by 288 individuals at baseline (28.4%) and 165 (16.3%) at year 20. Longitudinally, for every 1-unit greater risky family, the odds of attaining high CVH (≥10) decreased by 3.6% (OR, 0.9645 [95% CI, 0.94–0.98]). Each unit greater child abuse and caregiver warmth score corresponded to 12.8% lower and 11.7% higher odds of ideal CVH (≥10), respectively (OR, 0.872 [95% CI, 0.77–0.99]; OR, 1.1165 [95% CI, 1.01–1.24]), across all 20 years of follow-up. Stratified analyses by income in adulthood demonstrated associations between risky family environment and CVH remained significant for those of the highest adult income (>$74k), but not the lowest (<$35k).

CONCLUSIONS:
Although risky family environmental factors in childhood increase the odds of poor longitudinal adult CVH, caregiver warmth may increase the odds of CVH, and socioeconomic attainment in adulthood may contextualize the level of risk. Toward a paradigm of primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease, childhood exposures and economic opportunity may play a crucial role in CVH across the life course.

Published: January 2024

Background
Intraplaque angiogenesis occurs in response to atherosclerotic plaque hypoxia, which is driven mainly by highly metabolically active macrophages. Improving plaque oxygenation by increasing macrophage hypoxic signaling, thus stimulating intraplaque angiogenesis, could restore cellular function and neovessel maturation, and decrease plaque formation. Prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) regulate cellular responses to hypoxia. We therefore aimed to elucidate the role of myeloid PHD2, the dominant PHD isoform, on intraplaque angiogenesis in a murine model for venous bypass grafting.

Methods and Results

Myeloid PHD2 conditional knockout (PHD2cko) and PHD2 wild type mice on an Ldlr
−/−
background underwent vein graft surgery (n=11–15/group) by interpositioning donor caval veins into the carotid artery of genotype‐matched mice. At postoperative day 28, vein grafts were harvested for morphometric and compositional analysis, and blood was collected for flow cytometry. Myeloid PHD2cko induced and improved intraplaque angiogenesis by improving neovessel maturation, which reduced intraplaque hemorrhage. Intima/media ratio was decreased in myeloid PHD2cko vein grafts. In addition, PHD2 deficiency prevented dissection of vein grafts and resulted in an increase in vessel wall collagen content. Moreover, the macrophage proinflammatory phenotype in the vein graft wall was attenuated in myeloid PHD2cko mice. In vitro cultured PHD2cko bone marrow–derived macrophages exhibited an increased proangiogenic phenotype compared with control.

Conclusions
Myeloid PHD2cko reduces vein graft disease and ameliorates vein graft lesion stability by improving intraplaque angiogenesis.
Towards Faithful Model Explanation in NLP: A Survey
Authors: Lyu Qing , Apidianaki Marianna , Callison-Burch Chris 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
End-to-end neural Natural Language Processing (NLP) models are notoriously difficult to understand. This has given rise to numerous efforts towards model explainability in recent years. One desideratum of model explanation is faithfulness, that is, an explanation should accurately represent the reasoning process behind the model’s prediction. In this survey, we review over 110 model explanation methods in NLP through the lens of faithfulness. We first discuss the definition and evaluation of faithfulness, as well as its significance for explainability. We then introduce recent advances in faithful explanation, grouping existing approaches into five categories: similarity-based methods, analysis of model-internal structures, backpropagation-based methods, counterfactual intervention, and self-explanatory models. For each category, we synthesize its representative studies, strengths, and weaknesses. Finally, we summarize their common virtues and remaining challenges, and reflect on future work directions towards faithful explainability in NLP.
‘Banana’, Vietnamese or Czech?
Authors: Pham Thu Huong , Kraus Filip 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Second-generation members of the Vietnamese diaspora living in the Czech Republic (CR) are living between two cultures, which confuses their identity. The aim of the article is to understand the identity formation and sense of self of second-generation Vietnamese Czechs. The study analysed 31 in-depth interviews and three important situations to form engaged observations that show that neither the host society nor the diaspora recognise these people as full members of either community. As a result of their otherness, second-generation Vietnamese Czechs usually go through four stages of identity formation, at the end of which they develop one of three possible forms of hybrid identity, located between the Czech and Vietnamese sociocultural environment.
The Case for Animal-Inclusive Longtermism
Authors: O’Brien Gary David 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Longtermism is the view that positively influencing the long-term future is one of the key moral priorities of our time. Longtermists generally focus on humans, and neglect animals. This is a mistake. In this paper I will show that the basic argument for longtermism applies to animals at least as well as it does to humans, and that the reasons longtermists have given for ignoring animals do not withstand scrutiny. Because of their numbers, their capacity for suffering, and our ability to influence their futures, animals ought to be a central concern of longtermists. Furthermore, I will suggest that longtermism is a fruitful framework for thinking about the wellbeing of animals, as it helps us to identify actions we can take now that have a reasonable chance of improving the wellbeing of animals over the very long term.
The Development of an ‘Incidental’ Form of Aquaculture During the Late Old Kingdom? Cattle as ‘Marshland Modifiers’ of the Nilotic Marshes and Their Potential Impact upon Old Kingdom Fishing Behaviors
Authors: Burn John 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
During the latter half of the Old Kingdom, Egypt experienced irregular water supply. Lower than normal inundations resulted in nutrients normally lost from the river remaining within it. Over the same time, unusually strong rainfall events occurred, transferring even more nutrients into the river. These excess nutrients changed the ecology, affecting the local environment. These changes may have influenced the ecological characteristics of the riverine habitat, and how society responded and adapted. In the latter half of the Old Kingdom, depictions of cattle fording increased, suggesting that cattle were able to take advantage of the plants that now flourished upon the riverbanks as a result of the excess nutrients available. As the movement of cattle across the various river channels increased, the physical structures of the marshlands changed, which may have impacted upon those organisms also exploiting those areas, and affected fishing practices therein. Were these responses accidental, incidental, or co-incidental?
Automated Large-Scale Tornado Treefall Detection and Directional Analysis Using Machine Learning

Published: January 2024

Abstract
In many regions of the world, tornadoes travel through forested areas with low population densities, making downed trees the only observable damage indicator. Current methods in the EF scale for analyzing tree damage may not reflect the true intensity of some tornadoes. However, new methods have been developed that use the number of trees downed or treefall directions from high-resolution aerial imagery to provide an estimate of maximum wind speed. Treefall Identification and Direction Analysis (TrIDA) maps are used to identify areas of treefall damage and treefall directions along the damage path. Currently, TrIDA maps are generated manually, but this is labor-intensive, often taking several days or weeks. To solve this, this paper describes a machine learning– and image-processing-based model that automatically extracts fallen trees from large-scale aerial imagery, assesses their fall directions, and produces an area-averaged treefall vector map with minimal initial human interaction. The automated model achieves a median tree direction difference of 13.3° when compared to the manual tree directions from the Alonsa, Manitoba, tornado, demonstrating the viability of the automated model compared to manual assessment. Overall, the automated production of treefall vector maps from large-scale aerial imagery significantly speeds up and reduces the labor required to create a Treefall Identification and Direction Analysis map from a matter of days or weeks to a matter of hours.

Significance Statement
The automation of treefall detection and direction is significant to the analyses of tornado paths and intensities. Previously, it would have taken a researcher multiple days to weeks to manually count and assess the directions of fallen trees in large-scale aerial photography of tornado damage. Through automation, analysis takes a matter of hours, with minimal initial human interaction. Tornado researchers will be able to use this automated process to help analyze and assess tornadoes and their enhanced Fujita–scale rating around the world.

Objective: The utility of REM AHI in managing pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is not fully understood. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of preoperative REM AHI to postoperative persistence of OSA in children who underwent adenotonsillectomy. Methods: This retrospective chart review identified children under the age of 18 years that received an adenotonsillectomy for OSA and a preoperative and postoperative polysomnogram. Children with craniofacial or neuromuscular disorders or a tracheostomy were excluded. The primary outcome was the postoperative persistence of OSA, defined as a postoperative obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (oAHI) ≥ 1.5 events/hour. REM-predominant OSA was defined as a ratio of REM/NREM AHI ≥ 2. REM AHI minus NREM AHI and REM AHI minus oAHI helped to identify patients with a larger distribution of REM AHI. Results: A total of 353 patients were included. Postoperative persistent OSA was seen in 232 (65.7%) children. The preoperative REM AHI, REM AHI minus NREM AHI, and REM AHI minus oAHI of children with persistent OSA did not differ significantly from children with resolution of OSA. Rates of persistence were not different between those with REM-predominant OSA and REM-independent OSA (63.8% vs 70.7%, P = .218). Conclusion: This study suggests that preoperative REM AHI may be a poor predictor of OSA persistence after adenotonsillectomy. Further study is needed to help characterize how pre-operative REM AHI should impact clinicians’ decision making, family counseling and recommendations.

Published: January 2024

Objectives: To determine the clinical course of children with initial negative polysomnography (PSG) tests. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on pediatric patients seen by an otolaryngologist who underwent a PSG between October 2012 and March 2019 for obstructive sleep apnea at a single, academic, tertiary-care center. Data including demographics, follow-up PSG tests, and surgeries were collected. Results: A total of 2018 pediatric patients underwent PSG during the timeframe. About 535/2018 (26.5%) patients were negative for obstructive sleep apnea by PSG and had no prior adenotonsillectomy. About 408/535 (76.3%) did not obtain follow-up testing or surgeries; 69/535 (12.9%) underwent subsequent adenotonsillectomy for worsening symptoms without repeat PSG; and 58/535 (10.8%) obtained 1 or multiple follow-up PSG tests. Of the 58 who obtained repeat PSG, 25 (43.1%) were subsequently positive, with 17 of those 25 (29.3% of 58) undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Taken together, 94/535 (17.6%) of patients with initial negative PSG had worsening sleep disordered breathing. Conclusion: A significant minority of children who initially tested negative for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea met criteria for diagnosis on follow up PSG. Additionally, other children with initial negative PSG underwent adenotonsillectomy for worsening symptoms in lieu of repeat testing. Patients should be educated that snoring in children could persist or worsen over time, even in the setting of a initial negative PSG.
Adopting Stimulus Detection Tasks for Cognitive Workload Assessment: Some Considerations
Authors: Biondi Francesco N. 
Published: January 2024

Objective This article tackles the issue of correct data interpretation when using stimulus detection tasks for determining the operator’s workload. Background Stimulus detection tasks are a relative simple and inexpensive means of measuring the operator’s state. While stimulus detection tasks may be better geared to measure conditions of high workload, adopting this approach for the assessment of low workload may be more problematic. Method This mini-review details the use of common stimulus detection tasks and their contributions to the Human Factors practice. It also borrows from the conceptual framework of the inverted-U shape model to discuss the issue of data interpretation. Results The evidence being discussed here highlights a clear limitation of stimulus detection task paradigms. Conclusion There is an inherent risk in using a unidimensional tool like stimulus detection tasks as the primary source of information for determining the operator’s psychophysiological state. Application Two recommendations are put forward to Human Factors researchers and practitioners dealing with the interpretation conundrum of dealing with stimulus detection tasks.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: This manuscript delves into the intricate connection between climate change and Indigenous mental health in Australia, with a focus on the aftermath of the defeat of the ‘Voice’ referendum. Climate change, recognized for its broad impact on mental health determinants, poses heightened risks to vulnerable communities, including Indigenous populations. The defeat of ‘The Voice’ referendum adds complexity, highlighting concerns about the lack of meaningful rights for the First Peoples of Australia. The bushfires further underscore ecological consequences, affecting Indigenous ecosystems and intensifying existing environmental challenges. Climate change exacerbates existing health challenges for Indigenous peoples, introducing new issues like ecological sorrow and anxiety. Methodology: The manuscript advocates for prioritized research in Indigenous communities to explore the link between climate change and mental health. It emphasizes interdisciplinary and collaborative research, giving voice to those directly affected by climate change. The lack of trust between Indigenous populations and authorities, along with the implications on self-determination, is crucial research focus. Results: Renewable energy emerges as a potential solution deeply ingrained in Indigenous practices. The manuscript discusses challenges in achieving eco-friendly resettlement, emphasizing collaboration difficulties between the government and remote communities. The indigenous worldview, with its interconnectedness, is crucial for sustainable strategies. Discussion and Future Directions: Indigenous perspectives on planetary health are crucial, emphasizing the importance of Indigenous knowledge in shaping effective climate policies. The manuscript stresses dialogues between policymakers and Indigenous elders for formulating respectful land laws. It calls for global attention to the role of Indigenous peoples as biodiversity caretakers and urges recognition of their knowledge in climate change. Future directions include data collection for ecosystem protection, improving mental health outcomes post-climate events, and supporting impacted communities. Mental health care approaches in remote communities and practitioner training for climate-related issues are emphasized. The manuscript calls for increased funding for interdisciplinary research to understand the long-term impact of climate change on mental health, especially among vulnerable populations.
Osseointegration and osteoimmunology in implantology: assessment of the immune sustainability of dental implants using advanced sonographic diagnostics: research and case reports
Authors: Lechner Johann , von Baehr Volker , Notter Florian , Schick Fabian 
Published: January 2024

Objective Bone marrow defects of the jaw (BMDJ) surrounding dental implants, in combination with impaired bone-to-implant contact (BIC), are difficult to detect in X-rays. This study evaluated BMDJ surrounding titanium (Ti-Impl) and ceramic (Cer-Impl) dental implants and incomplete BIC using a new trans-alveolar ultrasonography device (TAU) with numerical scaling for BIC. Methods The titanium stimulation test (Ti-Stim) was used to detect immune overactivation in response to titanium. Bone density surrounding implants was measured using TAU. We also validated osteoimmune dysregulation. Results TAU values showed reduced BIC and decreased osseointegration for Ti-Impl. Moreover, TAU values in the Cer-Impl group were more than twice those in the Ti-Impl cohort. The multiplex analysis of C-C motif chemokine 5 (CCL5, also known as RANTES) expression revealed a 20-fold increase in BMDJ surrounding Ti-Impl. Higher levels of CCL5 inflammation were present in the positive Ti-Stim group. Conclusions Our data indicate that Cer-Impl have an osteoimmune advantage over Ti-Impl. The key determinant for osteoimmune sustainability appears to be the absence of inflammation at the implant site. We therefore recommend the use of TAU to assess the implant site prior to implantation.
Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation: Can You Overtighten?

Published: January 2024

Background: There has been a renewed interest and, recently, wider implementation of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair in throwing athletes because of improvement in ligament repair technology and corresponding outcome data. Purpose: To compare the biomechanical parameters and failure mode between 2 brace-tightening techniques for UCL repair. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Eleven matched pairs of cadaveric arms were procured. One limb from each pair underwent UCL repair with suture tape augmentation with either (1) attempted restoration of physiologic ligament tension or (2) maximal tension. Each specimen was subjected to 10 cycles of subfailure valgus torque at 90º of flexion in the intact state after UCL avulsion and then after UCL repair. Specimens were then torqued to failure. Articular contact mechanics, linear gap distance, angular displacement, failure torque, failure stiffness, and suture tape pull-through length were recorded. Two-way analysis of variance and paired t tests were used to test for statistical differences. Results: There was a significant effect ( P = .01) of tightening on joint contact area. There was a significant decrease in gap distance ( P = .03) and angular displacement ( P = .004) from the torn condition to the repaired condition for the maximum tension group, without a significant difference in gap distance from the intact condition. Failure torque and stiffness were not significantly different between groups, although there was a significant difference ( P = .001) in the overall suture tape pull-through length. Conclusion: Although there are potential physiologic changes at time zero—including significant decreases in contact area, normalized gap distance, and normalized angular displacement with maximal tension repair—examination of failure biomechanics suggests that these effects may be mitigated over time within the construct by suture tape pull-through at the tape-anchor interface. Neither method of UCL repair with suture tape augmentation resulted in overconstraint of the elbow joint compared with the native ligament biomechanics. Clinical Relevance: As more long-term outcome data from UCL repair with suture tape augmentation emerge, there will be wider implementation with various techniques to tension the suture tape. Examining the potential biomechanical sequelae of the UCL repair construct applied under maximal tension will help further refine recommendations for surgeons who utilize this technique for UCL repair.
