Abstract
Purpose of Review

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) represents one of the most effective methods of prevention for HIV, but remains inequitable, leaving many transgender and nonbinary (trans) individuals unable to benefit from this resource. Deploying community-engaged PrEP implementation strategies for trans populations will be crucial for ending the HIV epidemic.

Recent Findings
While most PrEP studies have progressed in addressing pertinent research questions about gender-affirming care and PrEP at the biomedical and clinical levels, research on how to best implement gender-affirming PrEP systems at the social, community, and structural levels remains outstanding.

Summary
The science of community-engaged implementation to build gender-affirming PrEP systems must be more fully developed. Most published PrEP studies with trans people report on outcomes rather than processes, leaving out important lessons learned about how to design, integrate, and implement PrEP in tandem with gender-affirming care. The expertise of trans scientists, stakeholders, and trans-led community organizations is essential to building gender-affirming PrEP systems.

AbstractPathogen-based cancer vaccine is a promising immunotherapeutic weapon to stimulate cancer immunosuppressive state. Toxoplasma gondii is a potent immunostimulant, and low-dose infection was linked to cancer resistance. Our goal was to evaluate the therapeutic antineoplastic activity of autoclaved Toxoplasma vaccine (ATV) against Ehrlich solid carcinoma (ESC) in mice in reference to and in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide (CP), a cancer immunomodulator. Mice inoculation with ESC was followed by applying different treatment modalities including ATV, CP, and CP/ATV. We evaluated the impact of the different treatments on liver enzymes and pathology, tumor weight, volume, and histopathological changes. Using immunohistochemistry, we evaluated CD8+ T cell, FOXP3+ Treg, CD8+/Treg outside and inside ESC, and angiogenesis. Results showed significant tumor weights and volumes reduction with all treatments with 13.3% inhibition of tumor development upon combined CP/ATV use. Significant necrosis and fibrosis were noted in ESC by all treatments with improved hepatic functions versus non-treated control. Although ATV was almost equivalent to CP in tumor gross and histopathology, it promoted an immunostimulatory activity with significant Treg cells depletion outside ESC and CD8+ T cells infiltration inside ESC with higher CD8+ T/Treg ratio inside ESC superior to CP. Combined with CP, ATV exhibited significant synergistic immunotherapeutic and antiangiogenic action compared to either treatment alone with significant Kupffer cells hyperplasia and hypertrophy. Exclusively, therapeutic antineoplastic and antiangiogenic activity of ATV against ESC was verified that boosted CP immunomodulatory action which highlights a novel biological cancer immunotherapeutic vaccine candidate.
Diaries as Technologies for Sense-making and Self-transformation in Times of Vulnerability
Authors: Bernal Marcos Marcos José , Zittoun Tania , Gillespie Alex 
Published: April 2023

AbstractDiaries have been generally understood as “windows” on sense-making processes when studying life ruptures. In this article, we draw on Michel Foucault’s conceptualization of self-writing as a “technology of the self” and on sociocultural psychology to propose that diaries are not “windows” but technologies that aid in the sense-making. Concretely, we analyzed three non-exhaustive and non-exclusive uses of diary writing in times of vulnerability: (1) imagination of the future and preparation to encounter difficulties; (2) distancing from one’s own experience; and (3) creating personal commitments. Our longitudinal data comprised three public online diaries written over more than twenty years, belonging to three anonymous individuals selected from a database of more than 400 diaries. We analyzed these three diaries by iterating between qualitative and quantitative analysis. We conclude that: (1) beyond their expressive dimension, diaries are technologies that support the sense-making process, but not without difficulties; (2) diaries form a self-generated space for dialogue with oneself in which the diarist also becomes aware of the social nature of her life story; (3) diaries are not only technologies for the Socratic “know thyself” but also technologies to work on oneself, especially in terms of the personal perspective on the past or the future; and (4) the practice of diary writing goes beyond sense-making towards personal development and the desire to transform one’s life trajectory.
ACT-Endorsing Libertarianism, Constitutive Luck, and Basic Moral Responsibility
Authors: Taggart Christopher P. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBecause an agent’s constitutive luck may seem to preclude free will, it may seem to preclude moral responsibility. An agent is basically morally responsible for performing actionAat timetonly if there is another possible world with the same past up totand the same laws of nature in which the agent does not performAatt. A compatibilist can solve the constitutive luck problem for moral responsibility without worrying about basic moral responsibility. According to compatibilism, if determinism is true, then agents can be morally responsible for performing actions without being basically morally responsible for performing them. But a libertarian who thinks agents can be basically morally responsible for what they do must explain how basic moral responsibility is possible. ACT-endorsing libertarianism can both solve the constitutive luck problem for moral responsibility and explain how agents can be basically morally responsible for what they do.
Mental Health and Involuntary Retirement from Sports Post-Musculoskeletal Injury in Adult Athletes: a Systematic Review
Authors: Furie Kira , Park Anna L. , Wong Stephanie E. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
The psychological aspects of musculoskeletal injury are often overlooked in the rehabilitation process. This review examines the effects of musculoskeletal injury on mental health in adult athletes and identifies themes to guide further research.

Recent Findings
Athletes are at risk for mental health struggles due to high athletic identity and identity foreclosure. Injured athletes have specifically been shown to have higher rates of anxiety and depression when compared to the general population. There is a lack of intervention-based research on the psychological well-being of athletes, and there are no systematic reviews synthesizing the impact of musculoskeletal injury on the mental health of adult athletes across a variety of sports.

Summary
Across professional, college-level, and amateur athletes, musculoskeletal injury is associated with worse mental health scores, including higher distress, higher anxiety and depression, lower social functioning, and lower health-related quality of life. For adults, involuntary retirement from sports due to musculoskeletal injury is a common theme associated with increased psychological distress, anxiety, and depression. In the reviewed literature, 22 unique mental health and 12 distinct physical health screening tools were used. Two articles studied interventions addressing mental health post-injury. Further research using an integrated physical and psychological approach to recovery is warranted and may improve mental and physical outcomes for injured athletes.
An overview of land degradation, desertification and sustainable land management using GIS and remote sensing applications
Authors: AbdelRahman Mohamed A. E. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractLand degradation (LD) poses a major threat to food security, livelihoods sustainability, ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation. The total area of arable land in the world is estimated at 7616 million acres or only 24% of the total area of the land surface, and currently about half of this area is cultivated. The productivity of arable land depends mainly on soil formation and management. Soil contains mineral components, organic matter and microorganism in a natural dynamic balance whose components have been formed in thousands and millions of years (geologic ages). Disruption of this balance due to human pressures and poor land use leads to soil degradation in few years. Scientists differed in setting a precise definition of the concept and dimensions of land degradation, but many agreed on the general concept of land degradation: ‘quantitative or qualitative change in the properties of soil that reduces the land's potential for production’ and the more comprehensive definition that land degradation is Change in the characteristics of the Earth. Leading to the creation of more desert or drier conditions, due to the decline or deterioration of the load of biological energy for a period of time does not have to be continuous, but temporary. Additionally, organic farming might be a substitute to prevent the deterioration of our soil. The emphasis of the current review is on how land degradation affects agriculture and the environment, as well as how we can manage our lands to prevent further degradation. Therefore, this review will focus in explain the land degradation definition and concept, and presenting two case studies from Egypt and India.
The Ethnobotanical Evolution of the Mediterranean Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)
Authors: Weick Cynthia Wagner , Aamir Naela , Reichart Jayme 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is an evergreen conifer that belongs to the Cupressaceae, which is the first plant family whose detailed evolutionary history traces the break-up of the supercontinent Pangaea roughly 150 million years ago. The broad and deep economic and socio-cultural significance of the species began in at least the third millennium BCE. This interdisciplinary review highlights the tree’s exemplary uses and meanings, starting in ancient Elam, Sumer, Egypt, and Persia, and continuing to the Graeco-Roman world, Islamic Empires, and Western Europe. The Mediterranean cypress has been used as timber for buildings, coffins, furniture, and statuary; in religious and spiritual symbolism; as ornamentals in gardens and cemeteries; in aromatic anointments and medicine; as literary metaphors; and as motifs in decorative and fine art. Many of the artifacts, artworks, and literature known to be influenced by the cypress are iconic: the Gudea cylinders, the outer coffin of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the poetry of Virgil and Ferdowsi, Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace, Shakespeare’s plays, and the paintings of Vélasquez and Van Gogh. Knowledge gaps in the scholarly literature on the species are identified, which require additional research in a variety of fields. For example, the number of varieties within the species remains inconclusive. Identifying the precise timing and geographic location of the tree’s influence on human civilization is hampered by methodological challenges. Studies of other plant species might benefit from the holistic approach taken in this review.
On the Evolution of Symbols and Prediction Models
Authors: Feistel Rainer 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe ability of predicting upcoming events or conditions in advance offers substantial selective advantage to living beings. The most successful systematic tool for fairly reliable prognoses is the use of dynamical causal models in combination with memorised experience. Surprisingly, causality is a fundamental but rather controversially disputed concept. For both models and memory, symbol processing is requisite. Symbols are a necessary and sufficient attribute of life from its very beginning; the process of their evolutionary emergence was discovered by Julian Huxley a century ago. In behavioural biology, this universal symmetry-breaking kinetic phase transition became known as ritualisation. Symbol use for predicting future dynamical processes has culminated in the unprecedented complexity of mental models used in science and technology, coining the historical ascent of modern humans. Observation and measurement transform structural information of physical exchange processes into symbolic information from which state quantities are derived by means of mental models. However, phylogenetically inherited models such as naïve realism do not necessarily explain the sophisticated insights revealed by modern experiments with, say, entangled quantum states. It is suggested to carefully distinguish observed exchange quantities from predicted unobservable state quantities, and physical reality from mental models thereof.
Development and Application of a Quality Assessment Tool for Oncological Question Prompt Lists
Authors: Josfeld Lena , Zieglowski Nathalie , Möller Julia , Keinki Christian , Hübner Jutta 
Published: April 2023

AbstractNo specific quality criteria yet exist for question prompt lists (QPLs), so this study aims to develop a quality assessment tool to then use for an evaluation of online-available QPLs. An online search was conducted for German-language QPLs using different internet search engines and terms. A wide range of existing quality criteria for patient information was adapted to the field of QPLs to build an assessment tool and evaluate all identified QPLs by four independent raters. All new quality criteria were applicable to QPLs. The overall quality of 46 oncological QPLs was low, though the tool’s subcategories were mostly fulfilled to over 80% by at least one QPL. For-profit organizations published lesser quality than medical organizations. The quality of breast- and prostate-cancer-specific QPLs was higher than that of general ones. High-quality QPLs could be created if more aspects were taken into account, but the available QPLs only focus on few quality aspects. The ambiguous results of effectiveness studies to date may be a result of vastly differing quality of the QPLs used for the interventions. The criteria provided in this study present a solid basis to assess the quality of QPLs. The creation of future QPLs as well as effectiveness studies should be more firmly based on quality criteria.
AFM probe for measuring ∼10−5 ultra-low friction coefficient: Design and application
Authors: Chen Yushan , Jiang Liang , Qian Linmao 
Published: April 2023

AbstractSuperlubricity provides a novel approach to addressing friction and wear issues in mechanical systems. However, little is known regarding improving the atomic force microscope (AFM) friction coefficient measurement resolution. Accordingly, this study established the theoretical formula for the AFM friction coefficient measurement and deduced the measurement resolution. Then, the formula was applied to the AFM probe with a rectangular cross-section cantilever. The measurement resolution is associated with the dimensional properties of the AFM probe, the mechanical properties of the cantilever material, the properties of the position-sensitive detector (PSD), and probably the anti-vibration performance of the AFM. It is feasible to make the cantilever as short as possible and the tip as high as possible to improve the measurement resolution. An AFM probe for measuring an ultra-low friction coefficient was designed and fabricated. The cantilever’s length, width, and thickness are 50, 35, and 0.6 µm, respectively. The tip height is 23 µm. The measurement resolution can reach 7.1×10−6under the maximum normal force. Moreover, the AFM probe was applied to measure the superlubricity between graphene layers. The friction coefficient is 0.00139 under 853.08 nN. This work provides a promising method for measuring a ∼10−5friction coefficient of superlubricity.
The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Mental Health and Suicidal Behaviors: A Study from Portuguese Language Countries
Authors: Silveira Daniela , Pereira Henrique 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBackground: Research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) demonstrates that they can be associated with physical and mental health problems throughout the lifecourse. However, few studies have examined this topic in the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLC). Objective: This study aims to assess the impact of ACEs on mental health and suicidal behaviors in a sample of participants from the CPLC. Participants and Setting: The sample consists of 1006 participants aged between 18 and 80 years (mean = 41.76; SD = 14.19). Methods: This study used an online survey that included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18) to assess somatization, depression, and anxiety symptoms, and overall mental functioning, the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R) to assess suicidal behaviors, and the Family Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire to assess ACEs. Results: Emotional abuse was the most reported ACE (32.7%). Participants from Brazil had higher levels of somatization, depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation and attempt, while participants from Portugal had a higher probability of suicide in the future. ACEs were strong and significant predictors of psychological symptoms and the likelihood of suicide in the future, with emotional abuse and emotional neglect being the domains with the greatest contribution, respectively. Conclusions: ACEs are a prevalent and general phenomenon across several countries. It is urgent to alert policymakers and mental health professionals of the need to intervene with children and families to ensure their harmonious and adjusted development, thus promoting quality of life and well-being of populations.
The Subject Accessibility of Ideological and Political Courses for Electrical and Electronic Majors
Authors: Li Fangyuan , Li Jiting 
Published: April 2023

AbstractElectronics and electricity are an integral part of reality. With the continuous development of society and social progress, electrical and electronic technology and theory are widely used in many industries. Therefore, in teaching, special attention should be paid to the ideological and political education of electrical and electronic students. With the rapid development of society and the deepening of the reform of socialist market economy, the ideological situation of college students under the new situation in the new period has undergone great changes. To grasp the ideological dynamics of students in a timely manner and find and solve the problems existing in the minds of college students, a questionnaire is developed. Based on the analysis and research of the questionnaire, this paper proposes the analysis of the problems and countermeasures of the ideological and political dynamics of the students of electrical and electronic majors, by establishing the validation model of the ideological and political effect of the course, and choosing two methods of verification by major and multiple groups. Through data table analysis, it is concluded that the subject accessibility method is successful, effective and positively correlated.
Evaluating Word Embedding Feature Extraction Techniques for Host-Based Intrusion Detection Systems
Authors: Mvula Paul K. , Branco Paula , Jourdan Guy-Vincent , Viktor Herna L. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractResearch into Intrusion and Anomaly Detectors at the Host level typically pays much attention to extracting attributes from system call traces. These include window-based, Hidden Markov Models, and sequence-model-based attributes. Recently, several works have been focusing on sequence-model-based feature extractors, specifically Word2Vec and GloVe, to extract embeddings from the system call traces due to their ability to capture semantic relationships among system calls. However, due to the nature of the data, these extractors introduce inconsistencies in the extracted features, causing the Machine Learning models built on them to yield inaccurate and potentially misleading results. In this paper, we first highlight the research challenges posed by these extractors. Then, we conduct experiments with new feature sets assessing their suitability to address the detected issues. Our experiments show that Word2Vec is prone to introducing more duplicated samples than GloVe. Regarding the solutions proposed, we found that concatenating the embedding vectors generated by Word2Vec and GloVe yields the overall best balanced accuracy. In addition to resolving the challenge of data leakage, this approach enables an improvement in performance relative to other alternatives.
Asymmetrical effects of cross-linguistic structural priming on cross-linguistic influence in L2 learners
Authors: Hopp Holger , Jackson Carrie N. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe present study investigates current proposals that priming is a mechanism of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in bilinguals by aiming to boost CLI through priming. In two cross-linguistic structural priming experiments with less-proficient adolescent (Study 1) and more highly proficient adult German-English learners (Study 2), we assess whether structural priming enhances CLI for well-formed, dispreferred, and ungrammatical structures. L2 learners in both studies showed CLI in their production, in particular for structures with word order overlap. They also exhibited short-term cross-linguistic priming of grammatical L1-L2 word orders in L2 English, which extended to longer-term priming among the more highly proficient learners in Study 2. However, there was no evidence that cross-linguistic priming increased the use of dispreferred or ungrammatical L1-based word orders in L2 English in either study. Rather, the overall production of these word orders decreased. Together, these results suggest that, while cross-linguistic priming leads learners to increase the use of shared, grammatical L1-L2 word orders, it leads to the inhibition of non-shared ungrammatical structures in L2 production. We conclude that priming has asymmetrical effects on CLI of grammatical and ungrammatical L1-based structures in the L2.
The impact of L1 orthographic depth and L2 proficiency on mapping orthography to phonology in L2-English: an ERP investigation
Authors: Botezatu Mona Roxana 
Published: April 2023

AbstractEnglish monolinguals (Experiment 1) and first language (L1)-dominant, Spanish-English and Chinese-English bilinguals (Experiment 2), who differed in L1 orthographic depth (shallow: Spanish; deep: Chinese) and second language (L2–English) proficiency, decided whether visually presented letter strings were English words, while behavioral and EEG measures were recorded. The spelling-sound regularity and consistency of stimuli were covaried such that words had either regular/consistent (e.g., GATE) or irregular/inconsistent mappings (e.g., PINT). Irregular/inconsistent words elicited more positive P200 and less negative N400 amplitudes than regular/consistent words in monolinguals, yet only a P200 response in bilinguals. English proficiency modulated L2 reading strategies, such that bilinguals employed distinct reading unit sizes in the L2 than the L1 when L2 proficiency was low, but transferred L1 reading units to the L2 when L2 proficiency was high. ERP results suggest that high L2 proficiency may be a prerequisite to the cross-linguistic transfer of reading strategies.
