La disparition forcée durant la Guerre d’Indépendance algérienne
Authors: Rahal Malika , Riceputi Fabrice 
Published: December 2022

RésuméCet article s’intéresse à la question de la disparition forcée employée par les parachutistes français durant la « bataille d’Alger » en proposant un bilan réflexif du projet Mille autres. Celui-ci s’appuie sur la découverte archivistique unique de quelque 850 fiches attestant les recherches de disparus par leurs familles dès 1957. C’est la première fois qu’une telle liste de noms est découverte dans le contexte de la Guerre d’Indépendance algérienne. Elle a permis un appel à témoin non seulement pour identifier les disparus et prendre contact avec leurs familles, mais aussi pour mener une première série d’entretiens avec des proches de disparus et entreprendre ainsi une histoire avec témoin(s). Le présent article analyse la source elle-même, puis présente les premiers résultats de la recherche. Le projet laisse d’ores et déjà entrevoir la possibilité d’une connaissance de l’événement qui, au-delà d’une approche par le système répressif et ses perpétrateurs, intègre également les victimes de la disparition forcée et leurs familles. Une telle démarche, intégrée au tissu de la ville d’Alger et dessinée à la fois par les trajectoires migratoires et socio-professionnelles des familles et par le monde du travail, rend à l’événement sa dimension sociale.
La « lutte contre les pirates » comme paradigme
Authors: Höhn Philipp 
Published: December 2022

RésuméCet article s’intéresse à l’émergence du paradigme de la « piraterie » et de la « lutte contre les pirates » chez les élites urbaines de Lübeck aux xve et xvie siècles. À la suite d’études récentes sur la gestion de conflits maritimes ayant interrogé l’usage analytique du terme « piraterie », il montre que des villes comme la hanséatique Lübeck ont instrumentalisé le discours sur la « piraterie » afin de criminaliser et de marginaliser leurs adversaires et concurrents dans le cadre d’une transformation économique structurelle. Grâce à une lecture attentive des documents des Bergenfahrer de Lübeck, une corporation de marchands commerçant avec la Norvège, l’auteur révèle comment les acteurs ont utilisé ce concept pour justifier leur propre violence : en présentant celle-ci comme une lutte contre de prétendus pirates, ils entendaient stabiliser leurs identités de groupe. La « lutte contre les pirates » est ainsi devenue paradigmatique pour les élites urbaines telles que les Bergenfahrer, représentant leur cohésion sociale en tant que communautés de violence.
A factor of i.i.d. with uniform marginals and infinite clusters spanned by equal labels
Authors: MESTER PÉTER 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWe give an example of an FIID vertex-labeling of${\mathbb T}_3$whose marginals are uniform on$[0,1]$, and if we delete the edges between those vertices whose labels are different, then some of the remaining clusters are infinite. We also show that no such process can be finitary.
SUSLIN TREE PRESERVATION AND CLUB ISOMORPHISMS
Authors: KRUEGER JOHN 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We construct a model of set theory in which there exists a Suslin tree and satisfies that any two normal Aronszajn trees, neither of which contains a Suslin subtree, are club isomorphic. We also show that if S is a free normal Suslin tree, then for any positive integer n there is a c.c.c. forcing extension in which S is n-free but all of its derived trees of dimension greater than n are special.
The Decline of Factions: The Impact of a Broad Purge on Political Decision Making in China
Authors: Li Zeren , Manion Melanie 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWe conceptualize broad purges, which extend far below top powerholders in authoritarian regimes and operate according to a logic fundamentally different from coup-proofing purges that target rivals to the supreme leader. Broad purges induce risk reduction in decision making because they grossly exacerbate uncertainty and raise the likelihood and cost of political error. Empirically, we analyze political appointment decisions before and during a massive corruption crackdown in China. We estimate purge impact on appointments of prefectural Communist Party secretaries during 2013–17. To signal to Beijing that they are not building factions, party bosses of these officials can be expected to reduce risk by biasing appointments against their own clients, with variation in bias reflecting geographic heterogeneity in purge intensity. We find a large effect of purge intensity on anti-client bias during this broad purge but not in previous smaller-scale anticorruption crackdowns. This study contributes to knowledge about purges under authoritarianism.
New records of invasive tubeworms (Ficopomatus, Serpulidae) in Mexico

Published: December 2022

AbstractFicopomatusSouthern, 1921 is a serpulid genus currently composed of six species, two of which (F. enigmaticusandF. miamiensis) are reef-builders. The former has invaded subtropical and warm-temperate estuaries worldwide, causing environmental and economic harm. In this study,Ficopomatus miamiensisandF. uschakoviare reported from brackish-water coastal localities in both Atlantic and Pacific sides of Mexico, including a Biosphere Reserve, estuaries, as well as shrimp and oyster farms.Ficopomatus miamiensisis reported from Veracruz (southern Gulf of Mexico, Mexico territory) and Sinaloa (southern Gulf of California).Ficopomatus uschakoviis reported for the first time in the southern Gulf of Mexico (Mexico territory) and repeatedly recorded in Chiapas (southern Mexican Pacific). There are no phenotypic differences between specimens ofF. miamiensisfrom both coasts of Mexico. Comparison of mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cytb) DNA sequences further support the notion thatF. miamiensisfrom the type locality (Florida) and Atlantic coasts of Mexico is also found along the Pacific coast of Mexico. Morphological variability within specimens ofF. uschakovifrom a single locality (either Laguna del Ostión or La Encrucijada) in Mexico suggest potential presence of multiple cryptic species. Molecular genetics studies are needed to confirm the taxonomic and invasive status ofF. uschakovi.
Constructing victims: Suffering and status in modern world order
Authors: Vandermaas-Peeler Alex , Subotic Jelena , Barnett Michael 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWhat is the basis of status in world order? Status is assumed to come from strength, even if strength is reconfigured to be social and normative, not just material. Status, however, can also come from perceived weakness – it is conferred to those recognised as ‘victims’. We make four theoretical contributions to the scholarship on status in world affairs. First, we examine how the category of victim is produced. Two, we expand the possible sources of status in world affairs by adding the category of victim. Three, focus on victimhood status further demonstrates that status is independent of material power. Lastly, victimhood as status exhibits the paradox that power depends on perceived powerlessness. We illustrate these arguments with three features of victim status in modern international politics: the changing desirability of victim status in Israel, the gendered construction of ideal victim in the Congo, and the hierarchy of victimhood in Bosnia.
The Pragmatics of Democratic “Front-Sliding”
Authors: Ginsburg Tom , Huq Aziz Z. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractHow does a democracy that has survived a close brush with authoritarianism start to recreate conditions of meaningful democratic political competition? What steps are to be taken, and in what order? Certain lessons can be gleaned from comparative experience with the challenges of “front-sliding”—that is, the process of rebuilding the necessary political, legal, epistemic, and sociological components of democracy. This essay maps out those challenges, examines the distinctive and difficult question of punishing individuals who have been drivers of democratic backsliding, and reflects on how to sequence different elements of front-sliding.
Send to me first: Priority in synchronous message-passing
Authors: CHUANG CHENG-EN , IRACI GRANT , ZIAREK LUKASZ 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a tiered-priority scheme for a synchronous message-passing language with support for selective communication and first-class communication protocols. Crucially, our scheme allows higher priority threads to communicate with lower priority threads, providing the ability to express programs that would be rejected by classic priority mechanisms that disallow any (potentially) blocking interactions between threads of differing priorities. We formalize our scheme in a novel semantic framework featuring a collection of actions to represent possible communications. Utilizing our formalism, we prove several important and desirable properties of our priority scheme. We also provide a prototype implementation of our tiered-priority scheme capable of expressing Concurrent ML and built in the MLton SML compiler and runtime. We evaluate the viability of our implementation through three case studies: a prioritized buyer-seller protocol and predictable shutdown mechanisms in the Swerve web server and eXene windowing toolkit. Our experiments show that priority can be easily added to existing CML programs without degrading performance. Our system exhibits negligible overheads on more modest workloads.
Family members’ long-term grief management: A prospective study of factors during ongoing palliative care and bereavement
Authors: Liljeroos Maria , Krevers Barbro , Milberg Anna 
Published: December 2022

AbstractObjectivesUp to 10% of bereaved individuals can develop prolonged grief disorder. Several risk factors for prolonged grief symptom severity in family members have been identified, but there is a lack of knowledge regarding the multivariable effects between family members coping with loss and patient-related factors for prolonged grief symptom severity during bereavement. The aim was to identify risk factors for prolonged grief symptom severity in family members 1 year after patient death in relation to (1) the family member and the patient during ongoing palliative care and (2) the family member during bereavement.MethodsThe participants consisted of family members (n = 99) of patients admitted to palliative home care in Sweden. The participants completed a survey during ongoing palliative care and at a follow-up 1 year after the patient’s death.ResultsThe model selection chose 4 demographic and 4 preloss variables: family member’s nervousness and stress, the patient’s sense of security during palliative care, family members’ sense of security during palliative care, and a family member attachment security anxiety dimension. Two postloss variables were positively associated with prolonged grief symptom severity: family members’ continuing bond – internalized and continuing bond – externalized.Significance of resultsHow family members coped depended on (i) variables linked to the family members themselves, (ii) the relationship to the patient, and (iii) some patient-specific variables. There was also a link between preloss variables and postloss prolonged grief symptom severity. Hence, it should be possible to identify family members with a heightened risk for longer-term prolonged grief symptoms.
Perceptions of genetically modified and bioengineered organisms and corresponding food labels among undergraduate students at Binghamton University
Authors: Marcus Rachel D. , Velardi Sara H. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn January 2020, the United States implemented a federal bioengineered labeling standard for food products that contain genetically modified material set to go into effect in January 2022. This bioengineered label indicates which products contain detectable levels of genetic material that have been modified through lab techniques that cannot be achieved in nature. An already existing alternative to the bioengineered label is the Non-GMO Project verified label which has been on the market since 2007, and indicates products free of genetically modified material through lab techniques. As consumers are now confronted with multiple labels pertaining to information related to genetic engineering, it is important to understand how people interpret these labels as it can lead to a greater understanding of how they inform consumer choice. We conducted a survey with 153 biology and environmental studies undergraduate students at Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York, asking questions about participants' views on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and related terminology, corresponding food labels and how these labels influence their purchasing decisions. Results demonstrated a lack of awareness of the bioengineered label compared to the Non-GMO Project verified label. Additionally, individuals associated ‘bioengineered’ and ‘genetically modified’ with differing themes, where ‘bioengineered’ was more often associated with a scientific theme and ‘genetically modified’ was more often associated with an agricultural theme. There was also a discrepancy in how individuals said these labels influenced their purchasesvshow the labels actually influenced purchasing decisions when participating in choice experiments. While the majority of participants reported that neither the Non-GMO Project verified label nor the bioengineered label influenced their purchasing decisions, in choice experiments, the majority of respondents chose products with the Non-GMO Project verified label. This study can give insight into overall perceptions of different terminologies associated with genetic engineering, in addition to how these labels are interpreted by consumers, and how they could affect purchasing decisions with the implementation of the new bioengineered label.
Plant‐Soil Relationships Influence Observed Trends Between Manganese and Carbon Across Biomes
Authors: Santos Fernanda , Herndon Elizabeth 
Published: December 2022

AbstractManganese (Mn) is an essential plant micronutrient that plays a critical role in the litter decomposition by oxidizing and degrading complex organic molecules. Previous studies report a negative correlation between Mn concentrations and carbon (C) storage in organic horizons and suggest that high Mn concentrations in leaf litter reduce soil C storage in forest ecosystems, presumably by stimulating the oxidation of lignin by fungal enzymes. Yet, the relationship between Mn and C in the litter layer and organic soil remains poorly understood and restricted to a few biomes, hampering our ability to improve mechanistic understanding of soil C accumulation. To examine plant‐soil interactions that underlie observed relationships between Mn and C across a wide range of biomes, we extracted biogeochemical data reported for plants and soils from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) database. We found that increased C and nitrogen (N) storage in organic horizons were associated with declines in Mn concentrations across diverse ecosystems at the continental scale, and this relationship was associated with the degree of organic matter decomposition (i.e., Oi, Oe, and Oa). Carbon and N stocks were more strongly correlated with Mn than with climatic variables (i.e., temperature and precipitation). Foliar Mn was strongly correlated with foliar lignin, and both these parameters increased with a decrease in soil pH, indicating links between soil pH, foliar chemistry, and litter decomposability. Our observations suggest that increased Mn bioavailability and accumulation in foliage under moderately acidic soil conditions support fungal decomposition of lignin‐rich litter and contributes to lower soil C stocks.
The Meaning of Pressure for Primary Magmas: New Insights From PRIMELT3‐P
Authors: Herzberg Claude T. , Asimow Paul D. , Hernández‐Montenegro Juan David 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis paper reports new software, PRIMELT3‐P, for computing the pressure and temperature range over which a primary basaltic magma was formed by adiabatic decompression and fractional melting of fertile mantle peridotite. The underlying model was developed to explore the meaning of magmatic pressure and its connection to the physics of mantle melting, melt extraction, and melt migration. We present a comparison of the results of the batch melting model FractionatePT3 (Lee et al., 2009, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2008.12.020) and the new fractional melting model PRIMELT3‐P, each applied to basalts from various localities, with a particular focus on Hawai'i and Iceland. The unexpected result is that pressures for batch melting and fractional melting are quite similar across a broad range of potential temperatures, agreeing to within ±0.29 GPa (1σ) when applied to magmas that pass tests for derivation from peridotite sources. Although samples from both Hawai'i and Iceland yield a range of final pressures of melting, the minimum final pressure in each location coincides with independent geophysical constraints—the depth to the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary beneath Hawai'i and to the Moho below Iceland. These results clarify the meaning of primary magma pressure, but the concept remains complex. We suggest that computed temperature and pressure arrays arising from heterogeneous peridotite‐source primary magmas may reflect melt transport and mixing in a thermally zoned mantle plume with a complex network of branching melt channels that nucleate over a range of depths.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe Arctic hydrological system is an interconnected system that is experiencing rapid change. It is comprised of permafrost, snow, glacier, frozen soils, and inland river systems. In this study, we aim to lower the barrier of using complex land models in regional applications by developing a generalizable optimization methodology and workflow for the Community Terrestrial Systems Model (CTSM), to move them toward a more Actionable Science paradigm. Further end‐user engagement is required to make science such as this “fully actionable.” We applied CTSM across Alaska and the Yukon River Basin at 4‐km spatial resolution. We highlighted several potentially useful high‐resolution CTSM configuration changes. Additionally, we performed a multi‐objective optimization using snow and river flow metrics within an adaptive surrogate‐based model optimization scheme. Four representative river basins across our study domain were selected for optimization based on observed streamflow and snow water equivalent observations at 10 SNOTEL sites. Fourteen sensitive parameters were identified for optimization with half of them not directly related to hydrology or snow processes. Across fifteen out‐of‐sample river basins, 13 had improved flow simulations after optimization and the mean Kling‐Gupta Efficiency of daily flow increased from 0.43 to 0.63 in a 30‐year evaluation. In addition, we adapted the Shapley Decomposition to disentangle each parameter's contribution to streamflow performance changes, with the seven non‐hydrological parameters providing a non‐negligible contribution to performance gains. The snow simulation had limited improvement, likely because snow simulation is influenced more by meteorological forcing than model parameter choices.

AbstractRecording neural signals from delicate autonomic nerves is a challenging task that requires the development of a low-invasive neural interface with highly selective, micrometer-sized electrodes. This paper reports on the development of a three-dimensional (3D) protruding thin-film microelectrode array (MEA), which is intended to be used for recording low-amplitude neural signals from pelvic nervous structures by penetrating the nerves transversely to reduce the distance to the axons. Cylindrical gold pillars (Ø 20 or 50 µm, ~60 µm height) were fabricated on a micromachined polyimide substrate in an electroplating process. Their sidewalls were insulated with parylene C, and their tips were optionally modified by wet etching and/or the application of a titanium nitride (TiN) coating. The microelectrodes modified by these combined techniques exhibited low impedances (~7 kΩ at 1 kHz for Ø 50 µm microelectrode with the exposed surface area of ~5000 µm²) and low intrinsic noise levels. Their functionalities were evaluated in an ex vivo pilot study with mouse retinae, in which spontaneous neuronal spikes were recorded with amplitudes of up to 66 µV. This novel process strategy for fabricating flexible, 3D neural interfaces with low-impedance microelectrodes has the potential to selectively record neural signals from not only delicate structures such as retinal cells but also autonomic nerves with improved signal quality to study neural circuits and develop stimulation strategies in bioelectronic medicine, e.g., for the control of vital digestive functions.

AbstractKDM5C is a histone H3K4-specific demethylase, which has been shown to play a key role in biological disease and development. However, the role of KDM5C in trophoblasts at early pregnancy is currently unknown. Here, we showed that KDM5C was upregulated in placental trophoblasts from recurrent miscarriage (RM) patients compared with healthy controls (HCs). Trophoblast proliferation and invasion was inhibited by KDM5C overexpression and was promoted by KDM5C knockdown. Transcriptome sequencing revealed that elevated KDM5C exerted anti-proliferation and anti-invasion effects by repressing the expression of essential regulatory genes. The combination analysis of RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and CUT&Tag assay showed that KDM5C overexpression leads to the reduction of H3K4me3 on the promoters and the corresponding downregulation of expression of several regulatory genes in trophoblasts. Among these genes, TGFβ2 and RAGE are essential for the proliferation and invasion of trophoblasts. Importantly, overexpression of KDM5C by a systemically delivered KDM5C adenovirus vector (Ad-KDM5C) promoted embryo resorption rate in mouse. Our results support that KDM5C is an important regulator of the trophoblast function during early pregnancy, and suggesting that KDM5C activity could be responsible for epigenetic alterations seen RM disease.
