Abstract
Background
Over the past 10 years, gamer profiles have been developed to understand the reason underlying players’ intrinsic motivation. While the research undertaken has led to the creation of distinct models (e.g., BrainHex and Hexad typologies), there is a lack of studies on the prevalence of these profiles among a specific population and the association between the target population’s profiles and their personality traits, gaming behavior, and sociodemographic characteristics.

Methods
Thus, the present study aimed to (a) establish the gamer profiles of French undergraduate law students, (b) examine the relationships between the participants’ profiles and their personality traits, gaming behavior, and sociodemographic characteristics, with a view to the development of serious games specifically intended for this population. In total, 753 French undergraduate students participated in the study, completing an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), chi-square, and ANOVA.

Results
The main findings show that among participants, the two most prevalent gamers’ profiles are Mastermind (45%) and Seeker (22.7%); followed by three less represented archetypes: Conqueror (12.9%), Daredevil (9.7%), and Achiever (9.7%). These archetypes are associated with the participants’ Big Five personality traits. Specifically, Daredevils, Masterminds, and Seekers have high mean scores on Extraversion (p < .001); Achievers and Seekers have high mean scores on Agreeableness (p < .001); Seekers and Achievers have high mean scores on Neuroticism (p < .001); and Seekers, Masterminds, and Achievers have high mean scores on Openness (p < .001). The unveiled profiles are also significantly associated with the participants’ gaming behavior including their playing frequency (p < .001), game types (p = .031), and sociodemographic characteristics (p < .001). For example, Masterminds are more likely to be female than the other four profiles (p < .001), while Conquerors and Daredevils are more likely to have a low socio-economic status compared to those with intermediate and high socio-economic status (p = .49).

Conclusion
These findings can be used to design serious/educational games tailored to the studied population.
Coupling between atoms and localized modes in a defect-free quasiperiodic photonic crystal
Authors: Xu Xing-Sheng , Gao Yong-hao 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this study, the evolution spectrum and emission dynamics of atoms in a defect-free quasiperiodic photonic crystal are studied. Quasiperiodic photonic crystal have advantages over periodic photonic crystal in terms of abundant and strong localized modes due to the quasiperiodic and self-approximation structures of quasiperiodic photonic crystal. The localized modes exhibit extremely large local density of states and high-quality factors in the quasiperiodic photonic crystal. The frequencies of the large local density of states of the localized modes do not depend on the polarization and the position in a particular area in the quasiperiodic photonic crystals. Due to the extremely large local density of states in the defect-free quasiperiodic photonic crystal, strong coupling between the atom and the localized mode in the quasiperiodic photonic crystal can easily occur. Correspondingly, the population of the excited state displays Rabi oscillation, and the emission spectrum of the atom splits into two peaks. Moreover, the Rabi oscillation and the evolution spectrum of the dressed atom depend on the radiation linewidth.
Efficient Decentralized Multi-agent Learning in Asymmetric Bipartite Queueing Systems

Published: September 2023

New Algorithm Enables Efficient Decentralized Learning in Bipartite Queueing Systems Bipartite queueing systems, where agents with individual job queues request service from a pool of heterogeneous servers, are standard models for service applications like data networks and call centers. Traditionally, a central controller schedules agent requests with full knowledge of system parameters. However, emerging applications require decentralized operation without this central coordination or complete system information. This presents challenges as agents lack the global knowledge needed to efficiently route jobs. Recent research into efficient decentralized learning algorithms for such systems faces limitations in nonoptimal throughput, demanding computations, or degrading efficiency with exponential queue growth. In contrast, this paper introduces an algorithm that enables queues to efficiently learn decentralized scheduling policies while ensuring throughput optimality. The approach is computationally lightweight, achieving queue length bounds that scale polynomially rather than exponentially in system size. Experiments demonstrate faster convergence and robustness of our algorithm compared with prior decentralized algorithms.

Published: September 2023

Background: A patient survey highlighted that patients treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) at one NHS trust lacked confidence with the transition of care between teams. A personalised folder of treatment information was designed and given to patients prior to discharge. Aims: To obtain patient feedback on the implementation and content of the folder. Methods: 30 consecutive patients were given the folder at discharge. Participants completed an online questionnaire to determine whether the information in the folder was appropriate, given at the right time in the pathway and enhanced confidence on discharge. Findings: 90% response rate was achieved. Of the respondents, 96% strongly agreed/agreed that the folder was helpful, 4% disagreed; 92% strongly agreed/agreed that the amount of information was right, 8% preferred more information, none less; 74% agreed/strongly agreed that the folder was provided at the right time; 96% said that the content met their expectations. Conclusion: Patients treated with CRS and HIPEC have specific needs related to their treatment. Implementation of the patient information folder at discharge increases patient confidence.
Present Status of the Effectiveness of the Patch Test Reagent for Titanium Hypersensitivity
Authors: Koike Mari , Susan Hummel , Hiraba Haruto , Shimoe Saiji 
Published: September 2023

Titanium and titanium alloys have been used for dental implants, due to their excellent biocompatibility and suitable mechanical properties. The frequency in use of titanium and titanium alloys for dental applications has gradually increased. For example, in 2020, a Japanese insurance approved the use of pure titanium for posterior molars as a metallic cast crown. Titanium alloys have also been used for frameworks of removable partial denture. Allergic reactions to titanium and titanium alloys are rare but do occur. One theory of unexplained implant loss is that the patient is hypersensitive to titanium. The hypersensitivity causes an inflammatory reaction to the implant body and failure to osseointegrate, resulting in implant failure. The patch test for diagnosis of titanium hypersensitivity has been unreliable because the result of the patch test does not match the clinical symptoms. Standard titanium reagents for patch tests are needed for accurate diagnosis of titanium hypersensitivity to prevent the failure of implants.
The objective of this review was to evaluate literature reporting the status of allergic diagnosis for titanium hypersensitivity and analyze the results mentioned. Based on these results, a possible standardization of the titanium reagent for the patch test were discussed. These searched literatures indicated that further national and/or registry based studies will be needed to better inform clinical practice and to identify the scale of metal sensitivity, clear diagnostic criteria, and long-term clinical performance data on hypoallergenic implants.
Mental health symptoms are comparable in patients hospitalized with acute illness and patients hospitalized with injury

Published: September 2023

Background
High rates of mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been found in patients hospitalized with traumatic injuries, but little is known about these problems in patients hospitalized with acute illnesses. A similarly high prevalence of mental health problems in patients hospitalized with acute illness would have significant public health implications because acute illness and injury are both common, and mental health problems of depression, anxiety, and PTSD are highly debilitating.

Methods and findings
In patients admitted after emergency care for Acute Illness (N = 656) or Injury (N = 661) to three hospitals across the United States, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress were compared acutely (Acute Stress Disorder) and two months post-admission (PTSD). Patients were ethnically/racially diverse and 54% female. No differences were found between the Acute Illness and Injury groups in levels of any symptoms acutely or two months post-admission. At two months post-admission, at least one symptom type was elevated for 37% of the Acute Illness group and 39% of the Injury group. Within racial/ethnic groups, PTSD symptoms were higher in Black patients with injuries than for Black patients with acute illness. A disproportionate number of Black patients had been assaulted.

Conclusions
This study found comparable levels of mental health sequelae in patients hospitalized after emergency care for acute illness as in patients hospitalized after emergency care for injury. Findings of significantly higher symptoms and interpersonal violence injuries in Black patients with injury suggest that there may be important and actionable differences in mental health sequelae across ethnic/racial identities and/or mechanisms of injury or illness. Routine screening for mental health risk for all patients admitted after emergency care could foster preventive care and reduce ethnic/racial disparities in mental health responses to acute illness or injury.

Introduction
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have attracted attention as a novel therapeutic target to augment the clinical efficacy of immunotherapy. We conducted phase Ia and Ib trials to examine the safety and efficacy of the anti-CCR4 antibody, KW-0761 (mogamulizumab), which may eliminate effector Tregs (eTregs). We herein overviewed the results of these trials, presented cases with a durable clinical response, and investigated factors associated with the clinical effects of KW-0761.

Methods
Forty-nine patients with CCR4-negative solid cancers were enrolled in the phase Ia and Ib trials on KW-0761. An integral analysis of safety, clinical responses, prognosis, blood laboratory data, and cancer testis antigen-specific immune responses was performed.

Results
Grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 21 (42.9%) out of 49 patients, all of which were manageable. A partial response and stable disease were observed in 1 and 9 patients, respectively. A durable clinical response was noted in 2 esophageal and 2 lung cancer patients. eTreg depletion in peripheral blood was confirmed in most patients, and eTreg depletion was sustained during the KW-0761 treatment. High lymphocyte levels at baseline and 2 weeks after the initiation of KW-0761 were associated with a favorable clinical outcome.

Conclusions
A durable clinical response was noted in some patients, and high lymphocyte levels before treatment initiation may be a biomarker for the efficacy of KW-0761. The synergistic effect of KW-0761 for depleting Tregs and other immunotherapies is expected in the future.
Limites, passages et transformations en jeu dans une architecture des milieux

"Limites, passages et transformations en jeu dans une architecture des milieux" synthétise les préoccupations et les directions de recherche de son auteur. Nous connaissons le souci de Chris Younès de déployer une pensée philosophique qui s'interdise de surplomber avec superbe la conduite du projet d'architecture, mais qui, au contraire, tente de s'y nouer en figures d'entrelacs. A cet égard, le texte publié dans ce numéro Des pages du laa possède une valeur programmatique.

"La manière de tracer des limites et d’opérer des passages par transferts, incursions, interférences notamment, rend compte du mode d’expression propre à l’architecture et de sa façon d’agencer le stable et l’instable, le délimité et l’illimité, la mesure et l’incommensurable, la continuité et la discontinuité. Entre Terre et Monde, l’art de les mettre en œuvre par le projet architectural, urbain et paysager est une des problématiques d’une architecture des milieux. Ce qui requiert d’envisager aussi bien les limites et passages entre disciplines qu’entre nature et artefact."

"Limites, passages et transformations en jeu dans une architecture des milieux" a fait l'objet d'une première publication dans le Philotope n°6, en 2007. Le Philotope est la lettre du réseau PHILAU (Réseau scientifique thématique Philosophie Architecture Urbain).
Folding (Aspelare, Belgium)
Authors: Ank Stijn 
Published: September 2023

Voici d FOLDING, une architecture proposée par Stijn Ank, construite dans la localité de Aspelare, en Belgique.
Nous considérons que cette proposition rompt avec les "variations sur un même thème", manières actuelles de "proposer" à l'abri d'un "audimat", où l'assimilation sociale vaut comme vecteur d'invention !!!!
Cette proposition de Stijn Ank ne rejoint pas le cortège interminable des variations sur les thèmes de :

la transparence du monde et de son habitation
la victoire sur le poids de la matière (réputée constituer une entrave à la liberté des désirs)

Seul un examen distrait s'en laisserait convaincre. Il nous semble, au contraire, que cette proposition rejoint les questions :

au départ de quelles conditions minimales est-il possible d'habiter un "site" ?
de quelles natures sont les articulations entre un "lieu" et un "site" où habiter?
qu'est-ce qu'habiter un "site", dès lors que la clôture du privé est renvoyée à sa misère bourgeoise ?

Ces questions devraient compter parmi celles qui fabriquent notre temps !
L’architecture théorique|anthropologique
Authors: Stillemans Jean 
Published: September 2023

Il faut dire le caractère singulier de ce texte. Eu égard d’abord aux travaux que le laa accueille habituellement sur ses pages, son enjeu n’est pas d’éclairer sous un jour théorique quelques faits architecturaux, ni de fixer, à une distance plus grande encore, les objets et les tâches d’une théorie de l’architecture. Le texte « architecture théorique | anthropologique » s’inscrit plutôt dans la tradition des manifestes architecturaux. C’est dire qu’il appartient à un genre prescriptif dont la vocation discursive est de méditer voire d’orienter le destin de la discipline architecturale. Mais, sa singularité au sein même du genre prescriptif tient au fait qu’il propose un destin architectural qui s’appuie sur la théorie, et pourtant renverse la perspective propre aux théories d’architecture. De fait, il ne s’agit pas ici de théorie ni d’anthropologie de l’architecture, mais à l’inverse, comme le promet le titre du texte, d’architecture anthropologique. Parcourant l’histoire des peuples et l’ordonnant selon trois « configurations » sociales et culturelles, Jean Stillemans établit que l’architecture, comme discipline, est désormais au temps de la théorie, et en particulier de l’anthropologie. L’exercice de l’architecture se déploie dans l’orbe d’un savoir anthropologique, ce qui fixe, pour demain, sinon un cap précis, du moins une orientation salutaire.
« Notre destin est de pister les commencements, les aubes — de saisir les fonctions humaines avant qu’un sens de bon sens ne vienne les recouvrir : c’est le destin anthropologique (…) C’est dire que l’architecture dans notre monde, celui qui a distingué les fonctions anthropiques, ne peut que leur être fidèle et entamer des chants qui se méfient du charme des leurres. »
The Tort of Discrimination
Authors: Dagan Hanoch , Dorfman Avihay 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This Essay integrates two ambitions: to lay out new theoretical foundations for antidiscrimination law and to demonstrate the practical significance of these foundations to tackle instances of wrongful discrimination beyond the reach of the current legal regime. Concerning theory, we articulate an account of wrongful discrimination grounded in private law’s basic commitment to reciprocal respect for the self-determination and substantive equality of private persons. Concerning practice, we argue that antidiscrimination law is currently at its pre-MacPherson v. Buick stage, meaning it is made up of isolated pockets of liability for discriminatory behavior. The gaps between them are indefensible since they necessarily undermine people’s fundamental right to be treated as equals by holders of normative powers such as proprietors, employers, and lessors. Nothing short of a full-blown tort of discrimination will enable antidiscrimination law to reach its own MacPherson moment. The theoretical account we develop provides the necessary framework for embarking on this crucial endeavor: a clear articulation of the normative foundations of this tort as an integral and indispensable part of private law in a liberal society. Drawing on existing tort doctrines, we identify important legal tools that can be utilized for prescribing the proper elements—duty, breach, injury, causation, and remedy—of a novel, generic tort of discrimination.
Bifurcation analysis and control of the valve-controlled hydraulic cylinder system
Authors: Han Qin , Zhang Liang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This article discusses the bifurcation analysis and control of a valve-controlled hydraulic cylinder system. The dynamic system of the valve-controlled hydraulic cylinder is established. Normal form theory and Hopf bifurcation theory are used to analyse the bifurcation characteristic at equilibria of the system. Then, a dynamic-state feedback control method is proposed. A nonlinear controller is set for the system to control the bifurcation with the method. By adjusting the control parameters, the delay of model bifurcation and the stability of the system can be changed. Numerical analysis verifies the correctness of bifurcation control.

Abstract
Buso, D, Willardson, JM, and Shafer, AB. Research note: Effects of medicine wall ball throws with whole-body vibration on bat swing performance in collegiate baseball players. J Strength Cond Res 37(10): 2071–2075, 2023—The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of medicine ball wall throws performed with whole-body vibration on bat swing performance in 13 highly trained collegiate baseball players. The experimental session involved the athletes' usual warm-up followed by baseline bat swings. The baseline bat swings were followed by 3 sets of 5 medicine ball wall throws while standing on a whole-body vibration platform set at 40 Hz and with 30 seconds rest between sets. Subjects then rested passively for 5 minutes before taking post-test bat swings. Performance was evaluated with bat speed (m·second−1), time to contact (secs), rotational acceleration (G's), and exit velocity (m·second−1). Paired t tests were used to compare baseline and post-test values (p ≤ 0.05). Effect size (d) statistics were also calculated to determine the magnitude of treatment effects. It was found that bat speed (p = 0.02; d = 0.22) and exit velocity (p = 0.03; d = 0.48) were significantly faster versus baseline, whereas rotational acceleration (p = 0.10; d = 0.23) and time to contact (p = 0.44; d = −0.12) were not significantly different from baseline, respectively. These results suggest that the addition of medicine ball wall throws with whole-body vibration can significantly increase key parameters of bat swing performance. Practitioners and coaches may consider including these combined exercise stimuli as part of workouts or during games for potentially greater success at the plate.
Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing Integration Analysis Revealed Immune Cell Heterogeneity in Five Human Autoimmune Diseases
Authors: Luo Siweier , Wang Le , Xiao Yi , Cao Chunwei , Liu Qinghua , Zhou Yiming 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background: Autoimmune diseases are a group of diseases caused by abnormal immune responses to functional body parts. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology provides transcriptomic information at the single-cell resolution, thus offering a new way to study autoimmune diseases. Most single-cell RNA-seq studies, however, have often focused on one type of autoimmune disease.

Methods: We integrated scRNA-seq data from peripheral blood cells of five different autoimmune diseases (IgA nephropathy [IgAN], Kawasaki disease [KD], multiple sclerosis [MS], Sjogren’s syndrome [SS], and systemic lupus erythematosus [SLE]). We performed dimensionality clustering, cellular communication analysis, re-clustering analysis of monocytes, NK cell populations, differential gene expression analysis, and functional enrichment for all immune cells in these data.

Results: We integrated the scRNA-seq results of peripheral blood cells from five different autoimmune diseases (IgAN, KD, MS, SS, and SLE). We showed that all samples contained 18 different immune cell subsets, although the cell cluster populations were different among the 5 diseases. Through intercellular communication network analysis, we determined that the signals of classical and non-classical monocytes were significantly enhanced in patients with IgAN and SLE. The signals of naïve B cells were increased in patients KD. Interestingly, the signals of NK and NK-T cells were enhanced in patients with SS, but reduced in patients with IgAN and SLE. Transcriptomic analysis of classical and non-classical monocyte subsets further revealed that pro-inflammatory cytokines and interferon-related genes, including CCL3, IL1B, ISG15, and IFI6, were specifically increased in patients with IgAN and SLE. Unlike monocytes, the number and NK marker genes were decreased in patients with IgAN and KD, but increased in patients with SS. Meanwhile, two NK-T cell subsets were exclusively found in SS.

Conclusions: In summary, based on an integration of the single-cell RNA-seq results, we demonstrated changes in the immune cell landscape of five different autoimmune diseases with respect to immune cell subsets, populations, differentially-expressed genes, and the cell-to-cell communication network. Our data provide new insight to further explore the heterogeneity and similarity among different autoimmune diseases.
