Rings of very strong finite type
Authors: Coykendall Jim , Dutta Tridib 
Published: February 2023

The SFT (for strong finite type) condition was introduced by [J. T. Arnold, Krull dimension in power series rings, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 177 (1973) 299–304] in the context of studying the condition for formal power series rings to have finite Krull dimension. In the context of commutative rings, the SFT property is a near-Noetherian property that is necessary for a ring of formal power series to have finite Krull dimension behavior. Many others have studied this condition in the context of the dimension of formal power series rings. In this paper, we explore a specialization (and in some sense a more natural) variant of the SFT property that we dub as the VSFT (for very strong finite type) property. As is true of the SFT property, the VSFT property is a property of an ideal that may be extended to a global property of a commutative ring with identity. Any ideal (respectively, ring) that has the VSFT property has the SFT property. In this paper, we explore the interplay of the SFT property and the VSFT property.

Published: February 2023

Background:
Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation has been associated with coronary inflammation and can be evaluated with coronary computed tomography angiography. The aims of this study were to compare the PCAT attenuation across precursors of culprit and nonculprit lesions of patients with acute coronary syndrome versus stable coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods:
In this case-control study, patients with suspected CAD who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography were included. Patients who developed an acute coronary syndrome within 2 years after the coronary computed tomography angiography scan were identified, and patients with stable CAD (defined as any coronary plaque ≥30% luminal diameter stenosis) were 1:2 propensity score matched for age, sex, and cardiac risk factors. The mean PCAT attenuation was analyzed at lesion level and compared between precursors of culprit lesions, nonculprit lesions, and stable coronary plaques.

Results:

In total, 198 patients (age 62±10 years, 65% male) were selected, including 66 patients who developed an acute coronary syndrome and 132 propensity matched patients with stable CAD. Overall, 765 coronary lesions were analyzed (culprit lesion precursors: n=66; nonculprit lesion precursors: n=207; and stable lesions: n=492). Culprit lesion precursors had larger total plaque volume, fibro-fatty plaque volume, and low-attenuation plaque volume compared to nonculprit and stable lesions. The mean PCAT attenuation was significantly higher across culprit lesion precursors compared to nonculprit and stable lesions (−63.8±9.7 Hounsfield units versus −68.8±10.6 Hounsfield units versus −69.6±10.6 Hounsfield units, respectively;
P
<0.001), whereas the mean PCAT attenuation around nonculprit and stable lesions was not significantly different (
P
=0.99).

Conclusions:
The mean PCAT attenuation is significantly increased across culprit lesion precursors in patients with acute coronary syndrome, compared to nonculprit lesions of these patients and to lesions of patients with stable CAD, which may suggest a higher intensity of inflammation. PCAT attenuation on coronary computed tomography angiography may be a novel marker to identify high-risk plaques.
Effects of Syllable Rate on Neuro-Behavioral Synchronization Across Modalities: Brain Oscillations and Speech Productions
Authors: He Deling , Buder Eugene H. , Bidelman Gavin M. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractConsiderable work suggests the dominant syllable rhythm of the acoustic envelope is remarkably similar across languages (∼4–5 Hz) and that oscillatory brain activity tracks these quasiperiodic rhythms to facilitate speech processing. However, whether this fundamental periodicity represents a common organizing principle in both auditory and motor systems involved in speech has not been explicitly tested. To evaluate relations between entrainment in the perceptual and production domains, we measured individuals’ (i) neuroacoustic tracking of the EEG to speech trains and their (ii) simultaneous and non-simultaneous productions synchronized to syllable rates between 2.5 and 8.5 Hz. Productions made without concurrent auditory presentation isolated motor speech functions more purely. We show that neural synchronization flexibly adapts to the heard stimuli in a rate-dependent manner, but that phase locking is boosted near ∼4.5 Hz, the purported dominant rate of speech. Cued speech productions (recruit sensorimotor interaction) were optimal between 2.5 and 4.5 Hz, suggesting a low-frequency constraint on motor output and/or sensorimotor integration. In contrast, “pure” motor productions (without concurrent sound cues) were most precisely generated at rates of 4.5 and 5.5 Hz, paralleling the neuroacoustic data. Correlations further revealed strong links between receptive (EEG) and production synchronization abilities; individuals with stronger auditory-perceptual entrainment better matched speech rhythms motorically. Together, our findings support an intimate link between exogenous and endogenous rhythmic processing that is optimized at 4–5 Hz in both auditory and motor systems. Parallels across modalities could result from dynamics of the speech motor system coupled with experience-dependent tuning of the perceptual system via the sensorimotor interface.
Queer Psycho and the He Circus: Applying Queering, Magic, and More-than-Human Theories to Immersive Visual Story Worlds as an Antidote to Late Capitalism
Authors: Dare Eleanor , Yamada-Rice Dylan 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Two immersive visual story worlds (IVS), Queer Psycho and HE Circus, are at the center of this article, one made by each of us. Individually we found our works necessitated the development of new frameworks for IVS construction, namely (1) Brechtian a-effect and queering, and (2) magic and more-than-human theories. These new framings were needed to realize our desire to use IVS to create spaces of active resistance from psychological harm imposed by political and ableist structures designed with rigid ways of seeing the world through straight/neoliberal lenses. When both story worlds and their frameworks are viewed side-by-side, they lay bare the prejudices and normative framings of IVS software and industries. Thus, the outline of these new framings with this article makes an original contribution to the field by calling into question those who are designing IVS software and typical frameworks by asking who and what they are benefiting, and proposing alternatives to illustrate how neither should be considered fixed. Finally, the topic of each IVS, that of Hitchcock's Psycho and neoliberal structures of contemporary higher education, offer critiques of systems which serve to highlight our arguments.
Are papers published in predatory journals worthless? A geopolitical dimension revealed by content-based analysis of citations

Published: February 2023

Abstract
This study uses content-based citation analysis to move beyond the simplified classification of predatory journals. We present that, when we analyze papers not only in terms of the quantity of their citations but also the content of these citations, we are able to show the various roles played by papers published in journals accused of being predatory. To accomplish this, we analyzed the content of 9,995 citances (i.e., citation sentences) from 6,706 papers indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, which cites papers published in so-called “predatory” (or questionable) journals. The analysis revealed that the vast majority of such citances are neutral (97.3%), and negative citations of articles published in the analyzed journals are almost completely nonexistent (0.8%). Moreover, the analysis revealed that the most frequently mentioned countries in the citances are India, Pakistan, and Iran, with mentions of Western countries being rare. This highlights a geopolitical bias and shows the usefulness of looking at such journals as mislocated centers of scholarly communication. The analyzed journals provide regional data prevalent for mainstream scholarly discussions, and the idea of predatory publishing hides geopolitical inequalities in global scholarly publishing. Our findings also contribute to the further development of content-based citation analysis.
The APC-barrier and its effect on stratification in open access publishing
Authors: Klebel Thomas , Ross-Hellauer Tony 
Published: February 2023

AbstractCurrent implementations of Open Access (OA) publishing frequently involve article processing charges (APCs). Increasing evidence has emerged that APCs impede researchers with fewer resources in publishing their research as OA. We analyzed 1.5 million scientific articles from journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals to assess average APCs and their determinants for a comprehensive set of journal publications across scientific disciplines, world regions, and through time. Levels of APCs were strongly stratified by scientific fields and the institutions’ countries, corroborating previous findings on publishing cultures and the impact of mandates of research funders. After controlling for country and scientific field with a multilevel mixture model, however, we found small to moderate effects of levels of institutional resourcing on the level of APCs. The effects were largest in countries with low GDP, suggesting decreasing marginal effects of institutional resources when general levels of funding are high. Our findings provide further evidence on how APCs stratify OA publishing and highlight the need for alternative publishing models.

Authors: McGlinchey Tamsin , Early Rebecca , Mason Stephen , Johan-Fürst Carl , van Zuylen Lia , Wilkinson Susie , Ellershaw John 
Published: February 2023

Background: Good care of the dying has been defined as being able to die in the place of your choice, free from pain, cared for with dignity and supported by the best possible care. This definition underpinned the development of the ‘10/40 Model’ of care for the dying, in 2013. The model includes 10 ‘Key Principles’ that underpin 40 ‘Core Outcomes’ of care. It was necessary to update consensus on the 10/40 Model to ensure that it remains clinically relevant and applicable for practice. Aim: Update international consensus on the content of the 10/40 Model. Design: Delphi study utilising questionnaire completion; each round informed the need for, and content of the next. Free text comments were also sought. Three rounds of Delphi were undertaken. Setting/participants: A total of 160 participants took part in round 1, representing 31 countries; 103 in round 2 and 57 in round 3. Participants included doctors, nurses, researchers and allied health professionals, with over 80% working predominantly in palliative care (general/specialist not specified). Results: Minor amendments were made to seven items related to: recognition of the dying phase, ongoing assessment of the patient’s condition, communication with patients about the plan of care and care in the immediate time after the death of a patient. Results supported the addition of a sub core outcome for care provided after death. Conclusion: The updated 10/40 Model will guide the delivery of high-quality care for dying patients regardless of the location of care. Further work should focus on increasing lay participation and participation from low income and culturally diverse countries.

Published: February 2023

Introduction Informed decision making is recommended in breast cancer screening. Decision aids with balanced information on harms and benefits are recommended to support informed decision making. However, informed screening decision making may be challenged by overly positive attitudes toward cancer screening. We hypothesized that a substantial proportion of Danish women would want to participate in screening regardless of the presented information. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of Danish women wanting to participate in a hypothetical breast cancer screening offering no reduction in breast cancer mortality but potential harms related to unnecessary treatment. Methods In a cross-sectional study, we invited a random sample of 751 women in the nonscreening population aged 44 to 49 y in the Central Denmark Region to an online questionnaire using the official digital mailbox system. The questionnaire included a description of a hypothetical screening and questions about thoughts on breast cancer, health literacy, and questions on the assessment of the hypothetical screening including intended participation, understanding, and belief in information. Data were linked to register data on sociodemographic factors. Results In total, 43.0% (323/751) responded to the questionnaire. Of these, 247 (82.3% [95% confidence interval: 77.5–86.5]) wanted to participate in the hypothetical breast cancer screening (participation group). More than two-thirds in both the participation group and nonparticipation group seemed to understand the presented information. Half of the women who understood the information disbelieved it. Conclusions Exceeding our expectations, a majority of women wanted to participate in a hypothetical screening with potential harms but no reduction in breast cancer mortality. A large proportion understood but disbelieved the screening information. This could indicate that Danish women make their screening decisions based on beliefs rather than presented screening information. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT04509063) Highlights The majority of Danish women wanted to participate in a hypothetical breast cancer screening with potential harms related to unnecessary treatment but no reduction in mortality. A large proportion of women understood but disbelieved the hypothetical screening information. Informed decision making may be challenging when women disbelieve the information they receive. Enthusiasm for cancer screening and potential disbelief in information are important factors when developing and improving screening information and invitation.
Nivolumab-induced autoimmune diabetes mellitus presenting as diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient with metastatic mucosal melanoma
Authors: Goff Catherine B , Plaxe Steven C , White Wendy , Dasanu Constantin A 
Published: February 2023

Introduction Nivolumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor used in the treatment of several malignancies. A number of immune-related endocrinopathies have been linked to its use. Case report We report a unique case of a 74-year-old man with well-controlled diabetes mellitus type 2 and metastatic mucosal anorectal melanoma who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis after receiving his third cycle of nivolumab 240 mg intravenous (IV) every 2 weeks. He was found to have autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase 65. Genotyping for human leukocyte antigens showed the presence of DQB1*02:01 and DRB1*03:01. Management and outcome His presentation was complicated by acute renal failure. He required aggressive fluid resuscitation and insulin supplementation to reverse severe acid–base disturbance and multiple electrolyte abnormalities. After an 8-week interruption, the patient restarted nivolumab without any further evidence of adverse events over the next 12 weeks. He continues to require insulin replacement therapy. Discussion and conclusion Development of type 1 diabetes with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been increasingly reported in the literature. The exact mechanism for autoimmune diabetes precipitated by nivolumab is yet to be elucidated. Patient education about the symptoms of diabetes and regular glucose monitoring cannot be overemphasized. Testing for antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase 65, insulin receptors, and islet cells may also prove useful. Human leukocyte antigen DQ and DR haplotyping prior to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment might help determine susceptibility toward developing type 1 diabetes, and provide opportunities for earlier recognition, intervention, and possibly prevention.

Published: February 2023

Purpose: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a common pediatric hip disease and was associated with femoral retroversion, but femoral version was rarely measured. Therefore, mean femoral version, mean femoral neck version, and prevalence of femoral retroversion were analyzed for slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients. Methods: A retrospective observational study evaluating preoperative hip magnetic resonance imaging of 27 patients (49 hips) was performed. Twenty-seven untreated slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients (28 slipped capital femoral epiphysis hips and 21 contralateral hips, age 10–16 years) were evaluated (79% stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis, 22 patients; 43% severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis, 12 patients). Femoral version was measured using Murphy method on magnetic resonance imaging (January 2014–December 2021, rapid bilateral 3-dimensional T1 water-only Dixon-based images of pelvis and knee). All slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients underwent surgery after magnetic resonance imaging. Results: Mean femoral version of slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients (−1° ± 15°) was significantly (p < 0.001) lower compared to contralateral side (15° ± 14°). Femoral version of slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients had significantly (p < 0.001) wider range from –42° to 35° (range 77°) compared to contralateral side (−5° to 44°, range 49°). Mean femoral neck version of slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients (6° ± 15°) was lower compared to contralateral side (11° ± 12°). Fifteen slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients (54%) had absolute femoral retroversion (femoral version < 0°). Six of the 12 hips (50%) with severe slips and 4 of the 8 hips (50%) with mild slips had absolute femoral retroversion (femoral version < 0°). Ten slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients (40%) had absolute femoral neck retroversion (femoral neck version < 0°). Conclusion: Although slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients showed asymmetrically lower femoral version compared to contralateral side, there was a wide range of femoral version, underlining the importance of patient-specific femoral version analysis on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Absolute femoral retroversion was prevalent in half of slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients, in half of severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients, and in half of mild slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients. This has implications for anterior hip impingement and for surgical treatment with in situ pinning or femoral osteotomy (e.g. proximal femoral derotation osteotomy) or other hip preservation surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the proportion of alcohol use and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care during the mid-pandemic of COVID-19 at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from May 1–30, 2021. Methods: A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted on 612 pregnant women attending a prenatal clinic. Data were entered into EpiData version 3.1 statistical software and then exported to Statistical Package for Social Science version 25 for analysis. A binary logistic regression model was used to predict the association between alcohol use and the independent variable. p = 0.05 variables were considered statistically significant associated factors. Results: The prevalence of alcohol consumption by pregnant women was 26.3%: residence (Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR) = 4.08, 95% confidence interval: 2.23, 7.48), antenatal care follow-up before the survey (AOR = 2.69, 95% confidence interval: 1.37, 5.26), unplanned pregnancy (AOR = 3.28, 95% confidence interval: 1.88, 5.70), partner alcohol use (AOR = 6.88, 95% confidence interval: 3.92, 12.06), and knowledge toward effect of alcohol on the fetus (AOR = 2.26, 95% confidence interval: 1.17, 4.33). Conclusions: The magnitude of alcohol use during pregnancy was high and this might be related to the pandemic. Antenatal care follow-up before the survey, unplanned pregnancy, partner alcohol use, and knowledge were found to be statistically significant associated factors.
Hand-Washing at Critical Times and Associated Factors Among Mothers/Caregivers of Under-Five Year Children in Nefas Silk Lafto Sub-City, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Published: February 2023

Background Hand washing is the simplest, most affordable, and most effective means of limiting the spread of infections. Despite increasing efforts to improve hand washing at critical times (after defecation, after handling child/adult feces or cleaning child's bottom, after cleaning the environment, before preparing food, and before eating food), mothers/caregivers of under-five children fail to conduct it; but the reason appears unclear. Thus, this study sought to identify hand washing at critical times and associated factors among mothers/caregivers of under-five children in Nefas Silk Lafto Sub-City, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted on April 1-15, 2019, and 312 mothers/caregivers participated. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect data from participants by interviewer-administered technique and the data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Science version 20. The factors were determined by conducting logistic regression and the crude odds ratio (COR) and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals. All statistical tests were conducted at a 5% level of significance. Results The study revealed that 232 (74.4%; 95% CI [69.6%-79.2%]) mothers/caregivers washed their hands at critical times. The illiterate mothers/caregivers and mothers/caregivers who lacked tap water inside the home or the backyard had 66% (AOR = 0.34; 95%CI [0.17-0.69]) and 62% (AOR = 0.38; 95%CI [0.18-0.80]) reduced odds of washing hands at critical times, respectively. Mothers/caregivers from middle had (AOR = 4.56; 95%CI [1.84-11.33]), richer had (AOR = 5.61; 95%CI [2.11-15.30]), and the richest had (AOR = 6.14; 95%CI [2.24-16.72]) times increased likelihood of washing hands at critical times than the poorest. Conclusion The majority of mothers/caregivers practiced hand washing at critical times, and improving maternal literacy, household economy, and availability of water sources in the backyard are needed to maintain and enhance the practice.
