Putting a Human Face on It: Gender and Photographic Meaning in a Canadian Women's Coal Mine Campaign
Authors: Spence Jean , Stephenson Carol 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn January 1999, the Canadian government announced their withdrawal from the Cape Breton mining industry with a settlement package for redundant miners, which was considered inadequate by miners and their families. In response, a group of women organized a community-based campaign, United Families (UF), led by two women who traveled to Ottawa to meet national politicians presenting themselves explicitly as “miners’ wives.” While the UF located their campaign within the context of family and community, as expected of miners’ wives, their principal focus was the men disadvantaged by the settlement. Here they strayed onto the terrain of the men's union.To support their case the women took photographs of miners leaving the pit at the end of a shift and organized them into an album. This became a catalyst for the disjuncture between the gendered expectations associated with female roles, and the women's efforts to represent the interests of the men. Intended as objective evidence in support of their position, the photographs carried a range of complex emotions relating to the women's campaign: They expressed the subjective meanings of the women's relationship with mining and the men photographed, as well as providing material evidence of the condition of the miners. This subjectivity was overlaid onto gendered subtexts inscribed within the history of photography in the public and domestic spheres.In campaign negotiations the women struggled to control the meaning of the photographic images and their endeavors resulted in only very minor amendments to the original settlement. The UF women's creative use of photography ultimately undermined the legitimacy of the women's negotiations. However, the photographs remain a testament to the history of mining in Cape Breton and to the emotional commitment of women to a partnership with men forged through the sexual division of labor in coal mining.This article draws upon a range of evidence and theories of gender, activism, and photographic practice to analyze the ways in which the women were disadvantaged in their campaign.
Trivially Satisfied Desires: A Problem for Desire-Satisfaction Theories of Well-Being
Authors: Hemmerich Luca 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn this article, I argue that desire-satisfaction theories of well-being face the problem of trivially satisfied desires. First, I motivate the claim that desire-satisfaction theories need an aggregation principle and reconstruct four possible principles desire-satisfactionists can adopt. Second, I contend that one of these principles seems implausible on numerous counts. Third, I argue that the other three principles, which hold that the creation and satisfaction of new desires is good for individuals and can be called proliferationist, are vulnerable to an objection from trivially satisfied desires. They implausibly imply that forming desires that are trivially satisfied is good for individuals. Finally, I argue that trivially satisfied desires may also worsen desire-satisfactionism's classical problem of pointless desires. Together, these claims constitute a challenge to desire-satisfactionism.
Genre, Class and Gender in a Suffragist Operetta: Melinda and Her Sisters (1916) at the Waldorf-Astoria
Authors: Winter Kendall Hatch 
Published: August 2023

AbstractAlva Belmont and Elsa Maxwell's Melinda and Her Sisters (1916) is a little-known work promoting women's suffrage, which was publicly performed only once in New York City. It was advertised as an operetta, a decision which minimised its overt stylistic and functional similarities to other genres of popular musical theatre from the period, namely, musical comedy and pageantry. Framed through Jeffrey Kallberg's concept of genre as a ‘gesture of labeling’, this article asks what could be gained – artistically, financially and politically – by Belmont and Maxwell's invocation of operetta and by their disavowal of other appropriate genre alternatives. I argue that the strategy reflects their fundraising priorities, the attitudes of their intended audience, and the social, political and artistic climates that constrained women's activities. This case study offers genre as a productive lens through which to interpret gynocentric musical production and performance.

Different Methods in Assessing El Niño Flavors Lead to Opposite Results
Authors: Abdelkader Di Carlo Isma , Braconnot Pascale , Carré Matthieu , Elliot Mary , Marti Olivier 
Published: August 2023

AbstractEl Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) flavors have been defined to characterize ENSO events and their teleconnections. Studying El Niño flavor evolution during the Holocene period can provide valuable insights into changes over long time scales. We investigated ENSO flavor evolution using simulations spanning the last 6,000 years and present‐day observations. Two approaches to computing ENSO flavors, in agreement in the present, lead to opposite trends in the last 6,000 years. The methods also differ significantly in their representation of ENSO flavor patterns. However, incorporating the sensitivity of the methods to calibration periods and mean state changes yields similar interpretations of ENSO variability changes. Both methods suggest an increase in El Niño variability spreading to the west and east tropical Pacific over the past 6,000 years. Standardizing El Niño flavor definitions is necessary for meaningful comparisons between studies and robust climate variability analysis.

Published: August 2023

AbstractSpontaneous EEG contains important information about neuronal network properties that is valuable for understanding different neurological and psychiatric conditions. Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by mutation in the MECP2 gene. RTT is characterized by severe motor impairments that prevent adequate assessment of cognitive functions. Here we probe EEG parameters obtained in no visual input condition from a 28-channels system in 23 patients with Rett Syndrome and 38 their typically developing peers aged 3–17 years old. Confirming previous results, RTT showed a fronto-central theta power (4–6.25 Hz) increase that correlates with a progression of the disease. Alpha power (6.75–11.75 Hz) across multiple regions was, on the contrary, decreased in RTT, also corresponding to general background slowing reported previously. Among novel results we found an increase in gamma power (31–39.5 Hz) across frontal, central and temporal electrodes, suggesting elevated excitation/inhibition ratio. Long-range temporal correlation measured by detrended fluctuation analysis within 6–13 Hz was also increased, pointing to a more predictable oscillation pattern in RTT. Overall measured EEG parameters allow to differentiate groups with high accuracy, ROC AUC value of 0.92 ± 0.08, indicating clinical relevance.
Exploring adaptation responses of maize to climate change scenarios in southern central Rift Valley of Ethiopia
Authors: Markos Daniel , Worku Walelign , Mamo Girma 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn this study, we assessed responses of adaptation options to possible climate change scenarios on maize growth and yield by using projections of 20 coupled ensemble climate models under two representative concentration pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5 by means of a DSSAT model. Growth and yield simulations were made across present and future climate conditions using the hybrid maize variety (Shone). Subsequently, simulated yields were compared with farmer’ average and on-farm trial yields. Results showed that on-farm trial yield (5.1–7.3 t ha−1) lay in between farmers’ average yield (2.9–5 t ha−1) and water-limited potential yield (6.3–10.6 t ha−1). Maize yields achieved in farmers’ fields are projected to decline towards mid-century and further towards the end of the century regardless of the adaptation options compared with baseline in low potential clusters. Results of a combination of adaptation options including February planting, use of 64 kg ha−1 N and conservation tillage provided yield advantage of 5.8% over the 30 cm till under medium GHGs emission scenario during mid-century period at Shamana. Mulching with 5 t ha−1 was projected to produce a 4–5% yield advantage in the Hawassa cluster during the mid-century period regardless of changes in tillage or planting window. Under a high GHGs emission scenario, over 13.4% yield advantage was projected in the Bilate cluster due to conservation tillage and June planting during the mid-century period. In the Dilla cluster, the use of 10 t ha−1 mulch, conservation tillage and early planting (February) would result in a 1.8% yield advantage compared with the control either in medium or high GHGs emission scenarios. Thus, the most promising and least risky practices among simulated strategies were the use of nitrogen and mulching in combination with tillage or planting date adjustment. However, adaptation options remained least promising and highly risky if not integrated with mulching or nitrogen use. Hence, the negative impacts of future climate change and subsequent yield gaps would be reduced by optimizing the application of nitrogen, mulch and their interaction with planting date and tillage in high and low potential areas of maize production.

AbstractThe earliest European carvings, made of mammoth ivory, depict animals, humans, and anthropomorphs. They are found at Early Aurignacian sites of the Swabian Jura in Germany. Despite the wide geographical spread of the Aurignacian across Europe, these carvings have no contemporaneous counterparts. Here, we document a small, intriguing object, that sheds light on this uniqueness. Found at the Grotte des Gorges (Jura, France), in a layer sandwiched between Aurignacian contexts and dated to c. 36.2 ka, the object bears traces of anthropogenic modifications indicating intentional carving. Microtomographic, microscopic, three-dimensional roughness and residues analyses reveal the carving is a fragment of a large ammonite, which was modified to represent a caniformia head decorated with notches and probably transported for long time in a container stained with ochre. While achieving Swabian Jura-like miniaturization, the Grotte des Gorges specimen displays original features, indicating the craftsman emulated ivory carvings while introducing significant technical, thematic, and stylistic innovations. This finding suggests a low degree of cultural connectivity between Early Aurignacian hunter-gatherer groups in the production of their symbolic material culture. The pattern conforms to the existence of cultural boundaries limiting the transmission of symbolic practices while leaving space for the emergence of original regional expressions.

AbstractLandslides are the most widely distributed geological hazards in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA). Understanding the deformation mechanism and evolution of landslides is of great significance for their prevention and control. In this study, we focused on the Zhangjiacitang landslide, a typical bank landslide in the TGRA. We analyzed the relationship between landslide deformation and water level fluctuations and rainfall, based on accumulated displacement monitoring data, to clarify their triggering factors and deformation mechanism. The results show that the Zhangjiacitang landslide is a large-scale accumulation landslide. Under the influence of cyclic water level fluctuations and periodic rainfall, the accumulated displacement–time curve shows a “stepped” characteristic. Heavy rainfall emerged as the primary factor influencing the deformation of the Zhangjiacitang landslide, leading to substantial deformation throughout different periods. The deformation of the landslide exhibited a positive correlation with the intensity of rainfall. In contrast, the impact of water level changes on the landslide deformation was more intricate. A rapid water level drop (> 0.3 m/d) tended to intensify the landslide deformation, while the slow water level drop period (< 0.3 m/d) did not exhibit such an effect. This study emphasizes the need for closely monitoring the landslide status during heavy rainfall periods and rapid water level decline periods. The findings of this study provide a certain reference for landslide monitoring, early warning, prevention and control in the TGRA.

AbstractStudies have presented that high intake of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage (SSCB) was more associated with the prevalence of depression. However, longitudinal evidence is still insufficient to identify whether the effect of SSCB on incident depression is independent of metabolic factors. Therefore, to evaluate the effect of SSCB consumption on the risk of depression, we analyzed the risk of depression according to the consumption of SSCB in 87,115 working aged Koreans who responded to Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. They were categorized into 5 groups by SSCB consumption based on one serving dose (200 ml) with never/almost never, < 1 serving/week, 1 ≤ serving/week < 3, 3 ≤ serving/week < 5, and 5 ≤ serving/week. During follow-up, CES-D ≥ 16 was determined as incident depressive symptom. Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for depressive symptom. In analysis for all study participants, the risk of depressive symptom significantly increased proportionally to SSCB consumption (never/almost never: reference, < 1 serving/week: 1.12 [1.07–1.17], 1 ≤  ~  < 3 serving/week: 1.26 [1.19–1.33], 3 ≤  ~  < 5 serving/week: 1.32 [1.23–1.42], and ≥ 5 serving/week: 1.45 [1.33–1.59]). This association was identically observed in men, women, normal glycemic subgroup and prediabetes subgroup.

AbstractPatients with osteoporosis are prone to fragility fractures. Evidence of the effects of active forms of vitamin D on hip fracture prevention is insufficient. We examined the association between vitamin D prescription and incidence of new fractures using the data of osteoporotic patients from the nationwide health insurance claims database of Japan. The follow-up period was 3 years after entry. The untreated patients were never prescribed vitamin D during follow-up (n = 422,454), and the treated patients had a vitamin D medication possession ratio of ≥ 0.5 at all time points (n = 169,774). Propensity score matching was implemented on these groups, yielding 105,041 pairs, and subsequently, the control and treatment groups were established and analyzed. The incidence of new fractures was significantly lower in the treatment group compared with the control group (6.25% vs. 5.69%, hazard ratio 0.936 [95% confidence interval 0.904–0.970], p < 0.001*). By site, hip fractures significantly decreased (0.89% vs. 0.42%, p < 0.001), but not vertebral and radial fractures. Subgroup analysis by vitamin D type showed a significantly lower incidence of total fractures only in alfacalcidol (hazard ratio 0.676 [95% confidence interval 0.628–0.728], p < 0.001*). The results suggest that vitamin D prescription was associated with a reduced incidence of hip fractures.

PPE: Point position embedding for single object tracking in point clouds
Authors: Su Yuanzhi , Wang Yuan‐Gen , Wang Weijia , Zhu Guopu 
Published: August 2023

AbstractExisting 3D single object tracking methods primarily extract features from the global coordinates of point clouds, overlooking the potential exploitation of their positional information. However, due to the unordered, sparse, and irregular nature of point clouds, effectively exploring their positional information presents a significant challenge. In this letter, the network is explicitly reformulated by introducing a point position embedding module in conjunction with a self‐attention coding module, replacing the use of global coordinate inputs. The proposed reformulation is further integrated into a top‐notch model M2‐Track, called Point Position Embedding (PPE) in this letter. Comprehensive empirical analysis are performed on the KITTI and NuScenes datasets. Experimental results show that the PPE surpasses M2‐Track by a large margin in overall performance. Especially for the challenging NuScenes dataset, the method attains the highest precision and success in all classes compared to state‐of‐the‐art methods.

Processing of experimental data describing internal deflagration explosions
Authors: Komarov Alexander , Azamov Jahongir 
Published: August 2023

This article is devoted to issues related to experimental studies of internal deflagration explosions or emergency explosions occurring inside buildings and premises. In internal emergency explosions, the main role in reducing the explosive pressure to a safe level is played by discharge openings blocked by safety structures (SS). As discharge openings, windows are often used, covered with glazed window blocks, or opened explosion venting structures (EVS).
The article deals with processing experimental data obtained in the study of deflagration explosions occurring inside buildings and premises. The main features and difficulties that arise while analyzing experimental materials are described. The article considers the general methodology for processing experimental data to study deflagration explosions inside buildings and premises. Examples of processing materials from experiments performed in chambers equipped with a transparent edge allow high-speed filming of the explosive combustion process inside the chamber.
The article presents a technique that allows, based on data processing on the overpressure in the explosion chamber, to obtain complete characteristics of the loads that occur in the experimental chamber during an internal deflagration explosion. The proposed technique makes it possible to abandon the transparent edge of the explosion chamber and obtain data on the explosion process based on the numerical processing of the excess pressure created in the explosion chamber. An example of processing a full-scale experiment to determine the effectiveness of a real explosion venting structure (EVS) is given.
Walled-off Pancreatic Necrosis: Multidisciplinary Perspective
Authors: Quencer Keith B. , Gilbert Erin W. , Campos Leonardo , Jonica Emily R. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractWalled-off pancreatic necrosis is a potential sequela of necrotizing pancreatitis. When drainage is indicated, such as in the setting of local complications (biliary or bowel obstruction), superinfection, or the collection causing abdominal pain, endoscopic, percutaneous, and surgical approaches are possible. Endoscopic drainage with or without placement of a luminal apposing metal stent and possible direct endoscopic necrosectomy is the preferred approach for drainage given good outcomes and patient comfort. In some cases, due to location and/or lack of a mature wall, endoscopic drainage is not possible or may be ineffective. In such cases, percutaneous and/or surgical drainage may be necessary.
