Published: November 2023

IntroductionWidespread misperceptions of the health risks of nicotine could undermine the public health benefits of the Food and Drug Administration’s actions, including modified risk tobacco product authorisations and a reduced nicotine product standard for cigarettes.Methods794 US adults (aged 18+) in NORC’s AmeriSpeak panel participated in a randomised controlled trial in Spring 2021 to test the effect of three exposures to eight nicotine corrective messages (NCM) on beliefs about nicotine, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), e-cigarettes and reduced nicotine content (RNC) cigarettes at 3-month follow-up. Analyses conducted in 2022 examined the effect of study condition (NCM (n=393) vs no message control (n=401)) on nicotine beliefs, use intentions and use of nicotine and tobacco products.ResultsExposure to three NCM doses reduced nicotine (b=−0.33; 95% CI −0.60, –0.07), NRT (b=−0.49; 95% CI −0.85, –0.14), e-cigarette (b=−0.32; 95% CI −0.59, –0.05) and RNC cigarette false beliefs (b=−0.64; 95% CI −1.26, –0.02) compared with the control, controlling for baseline beliefs. Baseline tobacco use and concern about nicotine addiction attenuated intervention effects on false beliefs about RNC cigarettes. There were few intervention effects on intention or use of nicotine and tobacco products.ConclusionsRepeated exposure to NCM was necessary to reduce false beliefs about nicotine and tobacco products. Future studies will improve understanding of the dose and duration of nicotine education needed to shift intentions and behaviour, as well as tailored content for tobacco product users to achieve similar reductions in false beliefs as non-users.Trial registration numberNCT04805515.

Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND:
The heart relies heavily on external fatty acid (FA) for energy production. VEGFB (vascular endothelial growth factor B) has been shown to promote endothelial FA uptake by upregulating FA transporters. However, its impact on LPL (lipoprotein lipase)–mediated lipolysis of lipoproteins, a major source of FA for cardiac use, is unknown.

METHODS:

VEGFB transgenic (Tg) rats were generated by using the α-myosin heavy chain promoter to drive cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression. To measure coronary LPL activity, Langendorff hearts were perfused with heparin. In vivo positron emission tomography imaging with [
18
F]-triglyceride-fluoro-6-thia-heptadecanoic acid and [
11
C]-palmitate was used to determine cardiac FA uptake. Mitochondrial FA oxidation was evaluated by high-resolution respirometry. Streptozotocin was used to induce diabetes, and cardiac function was monitored using echocardiography.

RESULTS:
In Tg hearts, the vectorial transfer of LPL to the vascular lumen is obstructed, resulting in LPL buildup within cardiomyocytes, an effect likely due to coronary vascular development with its associated augmentation of insulin action. With insulin insufficiency following fasting, VEGFB acted unimpeded to facilitate LPL movement and increase its activity at the coronary lumen. In vivo PET imaging following fasting confirmed that VEGFB induced a greater FA uptake to the heart from circulating lipoproteins as compared with plasma-free FAs. As this was associated with augmented mitochondrial oxidation, lipid accumulation in the heart was prevented. We further examined whether this property of VEGFB on cardiac metabolism could be useful following diabetes and its associated cardiac dysfunction, with attendant loss of metabolic flexibility. In Tg hearts, diabetes inhibited myocyte VEGFB gene expression and protein secretion together with its downstream receptor signaling, effects that could explain its lack of cardioprotection.

CONCLUSIONS:
Our study highlights the novel role of VEGFB in LPL-derived FA supply and utilization. In diabetes, loss of VEGFB action may contribute toward metabolic inflexibility, lipotoxicity, and development of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Mental Health's Stalled (Biological) Revolution: Its Origins,
Aftermath & Future Opportunities
Authors: Harrington Anne 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The 1980s, by common consensus, saw a big and remarkably rapid pivot away from previously dominant psychoanalytic and social science perspectives in American psychiatry and toward a so-called medical model foregrounding biology and the brain. The standard understanding is that this happened because, after years of wandering lost in a Freudian desert, the field had finally gained some fundamental new biological understandings of mental illness. The standard understanding is wrong. Nothing of sudden significance had happened on the biological front. There had been no major scientific or therapeutic breakthroughs. Why, then, did the field really pivot? This essay aims to explain. The answer is important, not least because choices made back then have directly shaped the fraught world of psychiatry with which we live today.
Two Sides of Depression: Medical & Social
Authors: Horwitz Allan V. , Wakefield Jerome C. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Two models have dominated portrayals of depression. The medical model views depression as a disease that has distinct symptoms with predictable courses and outcomes. It typically relies on brain-related explanations and responses, although many adherents also use social and psychological causes and treatments. A second model conceives of depression as the result of external stressors, loss events, and other problems of living that naturally subsides when these conditions improve. In this view, optimal responses lie in addressing the social conditions that underlie depressed states. In this essay, we examine how each edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) since DSM-III in 1980 has blurred the medical and social approaches and conceived of all sorts of depressive symptoms as needing medicinal responses. Although the distinction between the social and medical types is often difficult to make, it is an essential first step in developing accurate conceptions of the two sides of depression.
The Community of the Biographical Dictionary: Qāḍī ʿIyāḍ’s Ghunya
Authors: Safran Janina 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Qāḍī ʿIyāḍ’s (d. 1149) Ghunya is a biographical dictionary of the scholars the Ceutan jurist studied with and an inventory of the texts he acquired through various modes of transmission. As a catalogue of authors, teachers, and texts, al-Ghunya describes a network of scholarship contemporary with the rise and fall of Almoravid rule, and a history of learning that extends back to the earliest days of Islam. The essay demonstrates the importance of scholarly lineages and how they overlapped with lineal and marital bonds and explores the affective dimension of scholarly affiliations, focusing on the text as an expression of community and a work of memory. The ways in which the text reflects and reinforces a metaphorical “kinship of learning” contributes to our understanding of social cohesion in the Almoravid era.
Women of Abencerrajes (Ibn al-Sarrāj): Kinship Strategies in Fifteenth Century Granada
Authors: Ženka Josef 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This article deepens our understanding of kinship strategies in Fifteenth-century Granada in general and, in particular, among its ruling elite families. The newly accessible notarial documents from the hitherto ignored collection of the Archives of the Marquis of Santa Cruz contain a parchment with a donation and a sale contract produced by three generations of women from the legendary Banū al-Sarrāj (Abencerrajes) family. Through the analysis of this document, and of the context in which the Banū al-Sarrāj women lived and operated, the article argues that the ruling elite family in Granada at that time was a multi-generational household comprising relatives of consanguineal male and female descent and relatives by marriage. By studying the case of the Banū al-Sarrāj women from the perspective of this new document, it is possible to explore the reality of the ruling elite family, to distinguish between its branches and its head, and to deepen our understanding of family ties between various generations through the transfer of property and an understanding of the cohesion that existed between its women. An edition and a translation of the document are appended to the article.
Ibn ʿĀʾisha: Matrilineal Kinship, Naming Practices, and the Poetics of Marwanid Matrilineality
Authors: Pecorini Goodall Leone 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper investigates the overlooked topic of maternal ties of kinship in Umayyad history through the case study of ʿĀʾisha bint Hishām ibn Ismāʿīl al-Makhzūmī, the mother of Hishām ibn ʿ⁠Abd al-Malik (r. 105–125/724–743). Using a range of primary sources, including annalistic, adab, and eschatological sources, as well as early Islamic poetry, it investigates the significance of matrilineal kinship and naming practices in the Marwanid period. ʿĀʾisha’s representations across sources illuminates how sources discuss caliphal mothers and the role of the matrilineal family in marriage and naming practices. A brief prosopographical analysis also demonstrates the widespread use of maternal names in early Islamic society – ʿĀʾisha is said to have named her son after her father. Early Islamic poets praised maternal kinship ties, indicating an appeal to caliphal constituents from the maternal family. Overall, by incorporating maternal ties of kinship into Marwanid history, we may gain a more complete understanding of early Islamic society.
The Roles of Refugee and Exchangee Associations in Greek and Turkish Civil Society
Authors: Işıkçı Doruk 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Established by the descendants of those impacted by the 1922–23 forced migration/population exchange in Greece and Turkey, refugee and exchangee associations have become increasingly visible in both countries in recent decades. However, these associations have been the subject of surprisingly few studies from the perspectives of civil society and identity. Through a comparative examination backed up by fieldwork, this article suggests a reconsideration of the associations as dynamic and fluid units in dialogue with the past, present, and future. Furthermore, it argues that despite the similarity of the mechanisms through which refugee and exchangee identities were institutionalized and nationalized, they actually play different roles in Greek and Turkish civil society and should not be viewed as organizations with similar structures and experiences or as exact counterparts to one another. Their motivations, positions, and aspirations differ, as do the effects they have on the formation of refugee and exchangee identities.
Exploring Negative Teacher Behaviour towards Learners: The Long-Term Psycho-Emotional Effects
Authors: Louw Dap , Beyers Christa 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The importance of teachers in a child’s development is well known. However, relatively little research has been conducted on their influence on a child’s psycho-emotional development, and almost none on long-term negative effects. This study aimed to add to the much-needed data in this regard. It focused on 115 respondents in Free State province, South Africa. The respondents consisted of primary and high school teachers, ranging in age from 20 to older than 65 (sd = 10.84). More female (n = 81, 70%) than male (n = 34, 30%) respondents participated, and most were white (n = 92, 80%). A mixed-methods research design was employed, making use of a self-compiled questionnaire. More than 50% of the respondents indicated that they continue to experience psycho-emotional impacts such as depression and feelings of inferiority inflicted by teachers many years prior. Limitations of the study are discussed, and recommendations are made on how to address this important problem.
The Textual Features and Narrative Strategies of Michael Ondaatje’s ‘Jazz Novel’: A Stylistic Interpretation of Coming through Slaughter
Authors: Liu Dan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The novel Coming through Slaughter (1976), a story of a talented musician’s pursuit of real art and the true self, is based on Buddy Bolden, a jazz cornet player from New Orleans, Louisiana, in early twentieth-century America. Author Michael Ondaatje shows his originality in creating a ‘jazz novel’ that transcends the boundary between music and literature, in which three jazz-like features – collage, improvisation, and intersubjectivity – are embodied in characterization, theme presentation, and narration. By virtue of the unique free elements of jazz, Ondaatje maximizes the postmodern features of the novel and vividly depicts the complex subjectivity of the characters.
Is Climate Emergency a Constitutional Emergency?
Authors: Gallarati Francesco 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
More than 2,000 public authorities worldwide have to date declared a “climate emergency”. Can these declarations be framed within the constitutional category of emergency? And what legal consequences do they entail? To answer these questions, this paper confronts the basic features of constitutional emergencies, as arising from legal scholarship and contemporary Constitutions, with the characteristics of the climate issue. The conclusion is that climate change cannot be framed within the category of constitutional emergency, but rather in that of constitutional crisis, as it does not require a temporary suspension of the constitutional order but a structural modification of it.

Abstract
NASA’s multisatellite precipitation product from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) product, is validated over tropical and high-latitude oceans from June 2014 to August 2021. This oceanic study uses the GPM Validation Network’s island-based radars to assess IMERG when the GPM Core Observatory’s Microwave Imager (GMI) observes precipitation at these sites (i.e., IMERG-GMI). Error tracing from the Level 3 (gridded) IMERG V06B product back through to the input Level 2 (satellite footprint) Goddard Profiling Algorithm GMI V05 climate (GPROF-CLIM) product quantifies the errors separately associated with each step in the gridding and calibration of the estimates from GPROF-CLIM to IMERG-GMI. Mean relative bias results indicate that IMERG-GMI V06B overestimates Alaskan high-latitude oceanic precipitation by +147% and tropical oceanic precipitation by +12% with respect to surface radars. GPROF-CLIM V05 overestimates Alaskan oceanic precipitation by +15%, showing that the IMERG algorithm’s calibration adjustments to the input GPROF-CLIM precipitation estimates increase the mean relative bias in this region. In contrast, IMERG adjustments are minimal over tropical waters with GPROF-CLIM overestimating oceanic precipitation by +14%. This study discovered that the IMERG V06B gridding process incorrectly geolocated GPROF-CLIM V05 precipitation estimates by 0.1° eastward in the latitude band 75°N–75°S, which has been rectified in the IMERG V07 algorithm. Correcting for the geolocation error in IMERG-GMI V06B improved oceanic statistics, with improvements greater in tropical waters than Alaskan waters. This error tracing approach enables a high-precision diagnosis of how different IMERG algorithm steps contribute to and mitigate errors, demonstrating the importance of collaboration between evaluation studies and algorithm developers.

Significance Statement
Evaluation of IMERG’s oceanic performance is very limited to date. This study uses the GPM Validation Network to conduct the first extensive assessment of IMERG V06B at its native resolution over both high-latitude and tropical oceans, and traces errors in IMERG-GMI back through to the input GPROF-CLIM GMI product. IMERG-GMI overestimates tropical oceanic precipitation (+12%) and strongly overestimates Alaskan oceanic precipitation (+147%) with respect to the island-based radars studied. IMERG’s GMI estimates are assessed as these should be the optimal estimates within the multisatellite product due to the GMI’s status as calibrator of the GPM passive microwave constellation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the introduction of unprecedented safety measures, one of them being physical distancing recommendations. Here, we assessed whether the pandemic has led to long-term effects on two important physical distancing aspects, namely interpersonal distance preferences and interpersonal touch behaviors. We analyzed nearly 14,000 individual cases from two large, cross-cultural surveys – the first conducted 2 years prior to the pandemic and the second during a relatively stable period of a decreased infection rate in May-June 2021. Preferred interpersonal distances increased by 54% globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase was observable across all types of relationships, all countries, and was more pronounced in individuals with higher self-reported vulnerability to diseases. Unexpectedly, participants reported a higher incidence of interpersonal touch behaviors during than before the pandemic. We discuss our results in the context of prosocial and self-protection motivations that potentially promote different social behaviors.

Published: November 2023

BackgroundDue to the large volume of online health information, while quality remains dubious, understanding the usage of artificial intelligence to evaluate health information and surpass human-level performance is crucial. However, the existing studies still need a comprehensive review highlighting the vital machine, and Deep learning techniques for the automatic health information evaluation process.ObjectiveTherefore, this study outlines the most recent developments and the current state of the art regarding evaluating the quality of online health information on web pages and specifies the direction of future research.MethodsIn this article, a systematic literature is conducted according to the PRISMA statement in eight online databases PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, ACM, Springer Link, Wiley Online Library, Emerald Insight, and Web of Science to identify all empirical studies that use machine and deep learning models for evaluating the online health information quality. Furthermore, the selected techniques are compared based on their characteristics, such as health quality criteria, quality measurement tools, algorithm type, and achieved performance.ResultsThe included papers evaluate health information on web pages using over 100 quality criteria. The results show no universal quality dimensions used by health professionals and machine or deep learning practitioners while evaluating health information quality. In addition, the metrics used to assess the model performance are not the same as those used to evaluate human performance.ConclusionsThis systemic review offers a novel perspective in approaching the health information quality in web pages that can be used by machine and deep learning practitioners to tackle the problem more effectively.

Published: November 2023

AbstractEfficient biomonitoring is essential for fish protection and management. Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a promising tool for fish surveys, and its accuracy and robustness are closely related to the primer pairs and DNA polymerases, especially for different environmental samples. However, there is still a lack of sufficient efforts to assess the effects of both two factors on fish biomonitoring. Here, we selected ten primer pairs in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene region and three commercial DNA polymerases and analyzed their effects on fish eDNA monitoring in surface water and sediment samples of Dianchi Lake. We found that primer pairs and DNA polymerases significantly affected fish biomonitoring in surface water and sediments of Dianchi Lake. First, there were significant variations in annotated fish eDNA sequences in different groups of primer pairs and DNA polymerases, the percentage of fish sequences amplified by the groups related to primers Riaz-12S and 12S-V5 was more than 90% of the total sequences. Second, the composition of different classification levels of fish taxa varied considerably across groups of primer pairs and DNA polymerases, and the groups related to primers Riaz-12S (i.e., Taq Master‒Riaz-12S, Rapid Taq‒Riaz-12S) and 12S-V5 (i.e., Taq Master‒12S-V5, Rapid Taq‒12S-V5) identified more taxa than other groups. Third, primer pairs had greater impacts on the structure of fish communities than DNA polymerases, and the interactions between two factors had more significant effects than any single one. This study highlights that primer pairs and DNA polymerases play critical roles in fish biomonitoring, and this work aimed to provide methodological guidance for assisting the design of the fish eDNA survey scheme.
