The Gendered Effects of Multilayered Immigration Enforcement: Sanctuary Policy and Police-Community Relations in New Mexico
Authors: Garrick Jessica , Schrank Andrew 
Published: December 2023

Executive Summary This study explores the relationship between “sanctuary policies” that bar local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with federal immigration authorities and immigrant attitudes toward law enforcement agencies. It draws upon original survey data collected in New Mexico in 2019 and finds: • First, that immigrants who believe they are protected by sanctuary have more trust in their police and sheriffs than immigrants who anticipate collaboration between local law enforcement and immigration authorities; • Second, that awareness of sanctuary policies is nonetheless the exception to the rule, particularly among immigrant men. The study therefore highlights not only the limits to sanctuary policies sensu stricto but the limited scope and gendered nature of legal consciousness among immigrants in a multilayered enforcement regime. Our findings suggest that promoting sanctuary policies to immigrant communities, particularly through immigrant-serving agencies, may be nearly as critical in improved immigrant-police relations, as adopting sanctuary policies. The Department of Homeland Security and the courts should therefore adopt a uniform definition of sanctuary and disseminate it to state and local officials — especially in law enforcement — throughout the country. Furthermore, localities that adopt sanctuary policies should publicize them as widely as possible so that they have the desired effect in immigrant communities and facilitate the improvement of police-community relations in particular.
Perceptions and Attitudes Related to Driving after Cannabis Use in Canadian and US Adults
Authors: Davis William , Miller Brandon P. , Amlung Michael 
Published: December 2023

Background: This study examined the risk perceptions related to driving after cannabis use (DACU) among Canadian and US adults who used cannabis in the past six months. Methods: Perceptions of danger, normative beliefs, perceived likelihood of negative consequences, and other driving-related variables were collected via online surveys in Canadian (n = 158; 50.0% female, 84.8% White, mean age = 32.73 years [SD  = 10.61]) and US participants (n = 678; 50.9% female, 73.6% White, mean age = 33.85 years [SD  = 10.12]). Driving cognitions and DACU quantity/frequency were compared between samples using univariate analyses of variance, and Spearman’s (ρ) correlations were performed to examine associations between driving cognitions and DACU quantity/frequency. Results: The two samples did not significantly differ in self-reported level of cannabis use, lifetime quantity of DACU, or the number of times they drove within two hours of cannabis use in the past three months ( Ps  > .12). Compared to US participants, Canadians perceived driving within two hours of cannabis use as more dangerous ( P  < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.013) and reported more of their friends would disapprove of DACU ( P  = 0.03, ηp2 = 0.006). There were no differences in the number of friends who would refuse to ride with a driver who had used cannabis ( P = 0.15) or the perceived likelihood of negative consequences ( Ps > 0.07). More favorable perceptions were significantly correlated with greater lifetime DACU and driving within two hours of use (ρ  = 0.25-0.53, Ps < 0.01). Conclusions: These findings reveal differences in distal risk factors for DACU between Canada and the US and may inform prevention efforts focusing on perceptions of risk and social acceptance of DACU.

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundSpatiotemporal characteristics from human locomotion can provide effective clinical metrics to assess motor control and brain function. This case report aims to assess the temporal structure of variability in stride-to-stride time and calculated the intrinsic fractal frame that is hidden below the repetitive structure of physiological gait through the “Phyphox” app. This is an innovative study from the perspective of analyzing gait variables through a mobile app.Case presentationFive older adults Caucasian (3 women; age = 73 ± 10,5 years; body mass = 62,2 ± 15,1 kg; height = 1,56 ± 0,1 m; 2 men; age = 75,5 ± 7,8 years; body mass = 86,3 ± 18,0 kg; height = 1,77 ± 0,1 m) participated in this study. Five participants were asked to walk with a natural cadence, two of the participants presented a value greater than 80 step’s/minute (81.14 ± 0.01; 86.67 ± 0.02); and the others had values between 55 and 65 step’s/minute (55.20 ± 0.02; 55.78 ± 0.05; 61.02 ± 0.05). Regarding the coefficient of variation, only one participant presented 10.08%. For the total number of steps, three of the participants had values greater than 1000 steps. The variability of these stride-to-stride time has been quantified through detrended fluctuation analysis; one participant presented a value above 1.ConclusionsThis study provides evidence that a smartphone might provide a valid measure to assess the spatiotemporal characteristics of gait.
The place of the Great Mosque of Tlemcen: the paradox between patrimonialisation and appropriation
Authors: Selka Mohammed Chihab , Oussadit Imene Selka 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe Great Mosque of Tlemcen is a unique case, as it is one of the few mosques dating back to the Almoravid period that is almost intact. It has evolved in a constantly changing space and now has a conjoined public square, following an occidental configuration, which is quite rare. The size of this square suggests that it could be put to use as an additional vector for the valorisation of the mosque, but the current situation is different. This added space, introduced by occidental culture, creates a dual architectural language with several other buildings that mark all the layers of evolution in the urban fabric. Apart from its religious function, this mosque used to play the role of a covered public square, a role that has eroded over time. The aim of this research is to analyse the relationship between the building and its surroundings, as well as the population’s perception of this relationship. Additionally, the research is intended to highlight changes in the perception of the Great Mosque of Tlemcen’s public square over time, depending on historical, political, and social contexts.This research relies on an approach that combines different methods, including a thorough analysis of historical, cartographic, and legislative documents. Through this approach, we were able to conduct a comparative analysis with other similar cases. Finally, field research allowed us to understand the relationship between space and society. Despite the legal recognition of the surroundings as a historical monument, this status is not widely perceived and integrated into the population’s sense of heritage space. This is reflected in private and even public actions, despite the instrumentalisation of this heritage status, with appropriations of protected space that occur outside of regulations and become part of the landscape expression of the building in its environment.

Abstract

Context
The role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is largely unknown.

Objective
We aimed to identify some circRNAs as differential diagnostic biomarkers for T1D to distinguish between patients with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods
The circRNA expression profiles were determined by Arraystar human circRNA microarray in T1D compared to controls (n = 6 each). The differentially expressed circRNAs were validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction using a validation cohort with 20 T1D and 20 controls. The diagnostic performances of the candidate circRNAs and the clinical parameters were assessed using the logistic least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model in a larger cohort with 457 individuals, including patients with T1D, T2D, and LADA, and controls.

Results
We identified 110 differentially expressed circular transcripts (53 upregulated and 57 downregulated) in T1D patients compared with controls. Further analysis showed that the levels of hsa_circRNA_405498 and hsa_circRNA_100033 were significantly downregulated in T1D compared to controls (both P &lt; .05). Moreover, the expression levels of these 2 circRNAs showed sequential downregulation from controls, patients with T2D, LADA, to T1D (P &lt; .05). The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic plots in logistic LASSO regression model showed high diagnostic accuracy for combination model with the 2 circRNAs and some clinical parameters in distinguishing T1D from LADA (AUC = 0.915), T2D (AUC = 0.993), and controls (AUC = 0.992).

Conclusion
Our study demonstrated that hsa_circRNA_405498 and hsa_circRNA_100033 are promising novel differential diagnostic biomarkers for T1D.
Communicative Tactics and Strategies in Divorce Proceedings: The Legal Linguistic Aspect
Authors: Berezin D. , Golikova T. 
Published: December 2023

The article investigates the relationship between communicative motives and the process of divorce from a jurislinguistic perspective. The article examines how communicative factors influence the decision to dissolve a marriage.
The aim of the article is to identify the primary communicative motives that lead to the dissolution of marriage and to understand their interaction with the legal aspects of the divorce process. Exploring these interactions can help improve communication in such situations, as well as increase the effectiveness of legal interventions related to marital dissolution.
Methodology, methods and techniques. The article applies discursive, lexico-semantic, contextual method of analyzing communicative tactics and strategies. The legal-linguistic analysis of divorce discourse implies the use of argumentation methodology, methodology of cognitive interpretation of legal text and discourse, methodology of analyzing the formal and semantic structure of linguistic elements and text-forming categories.
Results. In the process of jurislinguistic analysis we have identified the primary and auxiliary strategies and tactics in divorce proceedings. The primary strategy of judicial communication is persuasion as the most significant strategy in terms of motives and goals, since it is the court that decides the outcome of the dispute in divorce proceedings. Auxiliary strategies are: deconstruction strategy, strategy of interpreting reality, emotionally attuning strategy, rhetorical strategy, dialog strategy and others.
Communicative-psychological motives for the dissolution of marriage can be the loss of interest of spouses (communicative conflicts, misunderstanding, indifference, aggression), infidelity, beatings, lack of care for joint children and many others. We consider it necessary to develop a special jurislinguistic methodology, using the communicative-discursive potential, which would declare a strict mechanism for taking into account the motives of action of all parties and would implement an algorithm of correlating communicative tactics and strategies in order to successfully reconcile the parties.
The scientific novelty of the study consists in addressing the jurislinguistic discourse of divorce proceedings in order to identify communicative tactics and strategies as a basis for the development of jurislinguistic methodology that uses the communicative and discursive potential.
The practical significance of the study lies in the use of the primary findings to create a communicative toolkit that improves the results of the judicial process.
Gender Quotas in Hiring Committees: A Boon or a Bane for Women?
Authors: Deschamps Pierre 
Published: December 2023

Women are underrepresented in many prestigious positions. Could increasing the share of women in hiring committees boost the rates at which women are hired into these positions? I use a difference-in-differences design to examine the effects of a French law on academic hiring committees that required each gender to represent a share of at least 40% of members. Contrary to the objectives of the law, I show that the reform backfired and significantly lowered women’s probability of being hired. Because the negative effect of the reform is concentrated in committees headed by men, this result seems driven by the reaction of men to the reform. I find little evidence that the reform affects supply-side characteristics, such as the likelihood of women applying. The results suggest that the underrepresentation of women is unlikely to be solved by simply increasing the share of women in hiring committees or interview panels.

Portosystemic shunting prevents hepatocellular carcinoma in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease mouse models
Authors: Peloso Andrea , Lacotte Stéphanie , Gex Quentin , Slits Florence , Moeckli Beat , Oldani Graziano , Tihy Matthieu , Hautefort Aurélie , Kwak Brenda , Rubbia-Brandt Laura , Toso Christian 
Published: December 2023

Background and aims
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This association is supported by the translocation of bacteria products into the portal system, which acts on the liver through the gut-liver axis. We hypothesize that portosystemic shunting can disrupt this relationship, and prevent NAFLD-associated HCC.

Methods
HCC carcinogenesis was tested in C57BL/6 mice fed a high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFD) and injected with diethylnitrosamine (DEN) at two weeks of age, and in double transgenic LAP-tTA and TRE-MYC (LAP-Myc) mice fed a methionine-choline-deficient diet. Portosystemic shunts were established by transposing the spleen to the sub-cutaneous tissue at eight weeks of age.

Results
Spleen transposition led to a consistent deviation of part of the portal flow and a significant decrease in portal pressure. It was associated with a decrease in the number of HCC in both models. This effect was supported by the presence of less severe liver steatosis after 40 weeks, and lower expression levels of liver fatty acid synthase. Also, shunted mice exhibited lower liver oxygen levels, a key factor in preventing HCC as confirmed by the development of less HCCs in mice with hepatic artery ligation.

Conclusions
The present data show that portosystemic shunting prevents NAFLD-associated HCC, utilizing two independent mouse models. This effect is supported by the development of less steatosis, and a restored liver oxygen level. Portal pressure modulation and shunting deserve further exploration as potential prevention/treatment options for NAFLD and HCC.

Network dynamics in hybrid microgrid and its implications on stability analysis
Authors: Jain Diksha , Saxena Dipti 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Dynamic load is one of the significant factor affecting the stability of hybrid microgrid (MG), owing to their frequency and voltage dependency. As compared with the static load, a small variation in voltage or frequency significantly influences the stability of MG having dynamic load. Therefore, it necessitates considering the dynamics of load for stability analysis of an MG. Moreover, the stability issues become more critical for the islanded operation. This paper investigates the small signal (SS) stability of a hybrid MG utilizing composite load model (CLM) to include the load dynamics. This paper also investigates the critical universal droop control parameters and other internal controller parameters that influence MG stability. Eigenvalue analysis is used to identify the respective stability domain of different control parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is tested by comparing the dynamics of CLM with constant power and impedance load. In addition, a memetic algorithm and SQP-GS is used to find the optimal values of different key parameters. The simulation results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed SS dynamic model of hybrid MG and the efficacy of the optimization algorithm for tuning control parameters, which improved the dynamic performance of the hybrid MG.
Collecting language assessment data in the age of pandemic: a preliminary case study of Chinese EFL learners
Authors: Guo Junyan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study reports a preliminary exploration of the online collection of language assessment data in the author’s PhD project under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes the challenges the author met, details the adaptations she made, and delineates its implications. Specifically, the data collection in this project involved remotely delivering three vocabulary tests and one speaking task to EFL learners in mainland China and collecting the results of these tests. In this process, the author trialed, pilot-tested, and compared three test-administering modes: first an asynchronous mode (Wenjuanwang), then a synchronous mode (Tencent Meeting), and finally a return to an asynchronous mode (Super Star Learning). It is hoped that this exploratory investigation into these technology-enhanced online methods will add a different perspective and present a multifaceted view for data collection of language assessment research during and after this pandemic.
Moral Reasoning in the Climate Crisis: A Personal Guide
Authors: Obst Arthur R. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article substantiates the common intuition that it is wrong to contribute to dangerous climate change for no significant reason. To advance this claim, I first propose a basic principle that one has the moral obligation to act in accordance with the weight of moral reasons. I further claim that there are significant moral reasons for individuals not to emit greenhouse gases, as many other climate ethicists have already argued. Then, I assert that there are often no significant moral (or excusing) reasons to emit greenhouse gases. In any such trivial-cost – but not necessarily trivial-impact – cases, the individual then has an obligation to refrain. Finally, I apply the moral weighing principle to everyday situations of emitting and establish two surprisingly substantial implications: the relevance of virtues to the interpersonal assessment of environmentally harmful actions and the extensive individual ethical obligations that exist short of moral purity.
Integrated analysis of TCGA data identifies endoplasmic reticulum stress-related lncRNA signature in stomach adenocarcinoma
Authors: Gao Yuan , Zhang Huxiong , Tian Xiaoxuan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objectives
To investigaed the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) using TCGA data.

Methods
This study integrated clinical, transcriptomic, and tumor data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The expression of ERS genes was evaluated, alongside their association with identified lncRNAs. Gene set enrichment analysis and immune cell infiltration analysis were performed to elucidate the biological pathways influenced by these lncRNAs.

Results
The study identified five lncRNAs – AC012055.1, LINC01235, LINC00571, LINC02073, and CFAP61-AS1 – strongly correlated with ERS pathways and cancer prognosis. A prognostic model based on these lncRNAs was developed and validated across low- and high-risk groups. Potential biological pathways associated with these lncRNAs were uncovered through immune cell infiltration and GSEA. Additionally, screening identified drugs potentially effective against STAD, highlighting co-expressed genes as probable therapeutic targets.

Conclusions
This research offers detailed insights into the molecular mechanisms of STAD, enhancing understanding of potential therapeutic targets and showing promise for clinical applications.
