Published: June 2023

SUMMARY
Analysis of azimuthally varying non-hyperbolic moveout of P-wave traveltimes in orthotropic media can provide valuable information for reservoir fracture characterization and seismic data processing. Moveout velocities and azimuthal orientation of the two vertical symmetry planes plus anellipticity parameters defined for the three symmetry planes of an orthotropic medium can be estimated from the inversion of P-wave traveltimes measured in long-spread, wide-azimuth seismic surveys. Several orthotropic moveout equations have been developed to this date that can be used in the traveltime data inversion. The accuracy of the inversion results is primarily determined by the complexity of the equation and the assumptions (i.e. elastic or acoustic) made to derive it. Here, we show that often simpler moveout equations derived for transverse isotropy media with vertical axis of symmetry (VTI) can be used to estimate anellipticity parameters of the orthotropic media with high accuracy. We make an accuracy comparison analysis between non-hyperbolic moveout equations that are widely used in modelling P-wave traveltimes in VTI media. Our comparison analysis is based on the accuracy of estimating anellipticity parameters defined for two vertical [η(1) and η(2)] and one horizontal [η(3)] symmetry planes of a wide range of orthotropic media. The anellipticity parameters are estimated from the inversion of numerical traveltimes that are generated for a single and horizontal orthotropic layer. We show that for the survey geometry used in this analysis, most of the moveout equations can produce reliable estimates of the anellipticity parameters η(1) and η(2). Despite the availability of traveltime data from wide-azimuths and long source–receiver offsets, none of the moveout equations can estimate η(3) as accurate as η(1) and η(2) estimations. We show that while all the equations produce mostly accurate estimates of η(1) and η(2), generalized moveout approximation (GMA) provides the greatest accuracy. We also assess the validity of using GMA to invert P-wave traveltimes for three anellipticity parameters in terms of anisotropy in the background medium, fracture weakness, source–receiver offset (group angle) and traveltime data coverage in both the vertical (dip) and horizontal (azimuthal) planes. We show that, for a reasonable offset range, GMA can be reliably used to estimate anellipticity parameters η(1) and η(2) for an orthotropic medium that is constructed by intensive fracturing of a host medium with strong VTI anisotropy.
Ecosystems and Ordering: Exploring the Extent and Diversity of Ecosystem Governance
Authors: Maglia Cristiana , Wilson Rowe Elana 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article argues that, to grasp how global ordering will be impacted by planetary-level changes, we need to systematically attend to the question of the extent to which and how ecosystems are being governed. Our inquiry builds upon—but extends beyond—the environmental governance measures that have garnered the most scholarly attention so far. The dataset departs from the current literature on regional environmental governance by taking ecosystems themselves as the unit of analysis and then exploring whether and how they are governed, rather than taking a starting point in environmental institutions and treaties. The ecosystems researched—large-scale marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems—have been previously identified by a globe-spanning, natural science inquiry. Our findings highlight the uneven extent of ecosystem governance—both the general geographic extent and certain “types” of ecosystems seemingly lending themselves more easily to ecosystem-based cooperation. Furthermore, our data highlight that there is a wider range of governance practices anchored in ecosystems than the typical focus on environmental institutions reveals. Of particular significance is the tendency by political actors to establish multi-issue governance anchored in the ecosystems themselves and covering several different policy fields. We argue that, in light of scholarship on ecosystem-anchored cooperation and given the substantive set of cases of such cooperation identified in the dataset, these forms of ecosystem-anchored cooperation may have particularly significant ordering effects. They merit attention in the international relations scholarship that seeks to account for the diversity of global ordering practices.
Des corpus aux bases de données… et retour. Quelle architecture pour une base de données socioterminologiques?
Authors: Delavigne Valérie 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe fact is now accepted that specialised discourses do not deviate from the rules of language: variation in all its forms emerges from corpora. One of the questions that now arises is that of “implementing” socioterminological data in terminological resources: how can sociolinguistic diversity be integrated into a descriptive program? After reviewing the types of variation, this article explores an approach to integrating some of these data into a terminographic ressource. This will provide an opportunity to discuss the question of the interface with the corpus, which is no longer confined to a descriptive objective, but is likely to become a pivotal element of a database.

ABSTRACT
We present the results of a radio multifrequency ($\rm 3{-}340~GHz$) study of the blazar 3C 454.3. After subtracting the quiescent spectrum corresponding to optically thin emission, we found two individual synchrotron self-absorption (SSA) features in the wide-band spectrum. The one SSA had a relatively low turnover frequency (νm) in the range of $\rm 3{-}37~GHz$ (lower νm SSA spectrum, LSS), and the other one had a relatively high νm of $\rm 55{-}124~GHz$ (higher νm SSA spectrum, HSS). Using the SSA parameters, we estimated B-field strengths at the surface where optical depth τ = 1. The estimated B-field strengths were $\rm \gt 7$ and $\rm \gt 0.2~mG$ for the LSS and HSS, respectively. The LSS-emitting region was magnetically dominated before the 2014 June γ-ray flare. The quasi-stationary component (C), ∼0.6 mas apart from the 43 -GHz radio core, became brighter than the core with decreasing observing frequency, and we found that component C was related to the LSS. A decrease in jet width was found near component C. As a moving component, K14 approached component C, and the flux density of the component was enhanced while the angular size decreased. The high intrinsic brightness temperature in the fluid frame was obtained as TB, int ≈ (7.0 ± 1.0) × 1011 K from the jet component after the 2015 August γ-ray flare, suggesting that component C is a high-energy emitting region. The observed local minimum of jet width and re-brightening behaviour suggest a possible recollimation shock in component C.

ABSTRACT
A 53-year-old man was presented with refractory panniculitis on the left upper arm that had persisted for 10 months. The patient was diagnosed with lupus profundus, wherein oral glucocorticoid therapy was initiated. Four months prior, ulceration was observed in the same area. Dapson was administered instead, scarring the ulcer but enlarging the panniculitis. Five weeks earlier, he developed a fever, productive cough, and dyspnoea. Three weeks earlier, a skin rash was observed on the forehead, left auricle posterior to the neck, and extensor aspect of the left elbow. Chest computed tomography showed pneumonia in the right lung, after which the patient’s dyspnoea worsened. The patient was admitted and diagnosed with anti-MDA5 antibody-positive amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM) based on skin findings, hyperferritinaemia, and rapidly progressive diffuse lung shadows. Glucocorticoid pulse therapy, intravenous cyclophosphamide, and tacrolimus were initiated, and later, plasma exchange therapy was combined. However, his condition worsened and required management with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The patient expired on day 28 after hospitalisation. An autopsy revealed hyalinising to fibrotic stages of diffuse alveolar damage. Strong expression of myxovirus resistance protein A was observed in three skin biopsy specimens from the time of initial onset, consistent with ADM. Anti-MDA5 antibody-positive ADM not only manifests typical cutaneous symptoms, but also rarely occurs with localised panniculitis, such as in the present case. In patients with panniculitis of unknown aetiology, the possibility of initial symptoms of ADM should be included in the differential diagnosis.
Interpersonal brain synchronization during face-to-face economic exchange between acquainted dyads

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
Interpersonal brain synchronization (IBS) has been observed during social interactions and involves various factors, such as familiarity with the partner and type of social activity. A previous study has shown that face-to-face (FF) interactions in pairs of strangers increase IBS. However, it is unclear whether this can be observed when the nature of the interacting partners is different. Herein, we aimed to extend these findings to pairs of acquaintances. Neural activity in the frontal and temporal regions was recorded using functional near-infrared spectroscopy hyperscanning. Participants played an ultimatum game that required virtual economic exchange in two experimental settings: face-to-face and face-blocked conditions. Random pair analysis confirmed whether IBS was induced by social interaction. Contrary to the aforementioned study, our results did not show any cooperative behavior or task-induced IBS increase. Conversely, the random pair analysis results revealed that the pair-specific IBS was significant only in the task condition at the left and right superior frontal, middle frontal, orbital superior frontal, right superior temporal, precentral and postcentral gyri. Our results tentatively suggested that FF interaction in acquainted pairs did not increase IBS and supported the idea that IBS is affected by ‘with whom we interact and how’.

Abstract
Young Latinas face multiple health challenges that place them at high risk for chronic diseases. Digital health promotion interventions can offer education and support to activate self-care and preventive behaviors. This pilot study evaluated a brief, theory-informed, culturally tailored intervention, Examen Tu Salud, that provided daily text and multimedia messages and weekly peer coaching via videoconference to improve health behaviors among young adult Latina women. Thirty-four participants who self-identified as Latina, female, and 18–29 years old were recruited from an urban college in Northern California to participate in a brief pilot test of the new intervention. Paired sample T-tests assessed health behavior and health activation changes from baseline to 1 month follow-up. Program participation and satisfaction were analyzed to assess feasibility of the intervention. Among 31 participants (91% completion), there were medium to large improvements in health outcomes. Confidence in preventing and managing one’s health (t[30] = 5.18, p &lt; .001, d = 0.93), days of moderate-intensity physical activity (t[30] = 3.50, p &lt; .001, d = 0.63), and fruit (t[30] = 3.32, p = .001, d = 0.60) and vegetable (t[30] = 2.04, p = .025, d = 0.37) consumption in a typical day increased. Intervention satisfaction and engagement with health coaches was high. We found that a brief digital coaching intervention designed for young adult Latinas has the potential to improve health activation and behaviors. More attention is needed to prevent chronic conditions among a growing number of Latinos in the USA.

Objectives:
Self-assessment instruments are commonly used in audiological rehabilitation. However, several studies highlight the lack of multidimensionality in existing outcome measures, with the consequence that they only partially capture aspects of functioning in everyday life for people living with hearing loss. This study aimed to develop and investigate the content validity of a self-assessment instrument based on the validated Brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health Core Set for Hearing Loss.

Design:
The design was a two-part instrument development study. The first part focused on the item-generation process of the instrument, named the Hearing and Functioning in Everyday Life Questionnaire (HFEQ) during an experts’ workshop. The second part focused on international content validation of the instrument using group interviews. Strategic sampling was used and 30 adults with hearing loss from India, South Africa, and the United States participated in the group interviews.

Results:
The expert’s workshop resulted in the first version of the HFEQ containing 30 items. The results from group interviews show that the content of the HFEQ was considered to be valid concerning its relevance, comprehensiveness, and comprehensibility. A majority (73%) of the HFEQ items were perceived by the participants as relevant and easy to comprehend. For the remaining 27% of the items, the content was perceived to be relevant in all countries, but some terms and expressions were reported to require rewording or clearer examples. These modifications will be made in the next step of the development process.

Conclusion:
Content validation of the HFEQ demonstrates promising results, with participants perceiving the content as relevant and comprehensible. Further psychometric validation is required to investigate other psychometric properties, such as construct validity and reliability. The HFEQ has the potential to become a valuable new instrument for assessing everyday functioning in people with hearing loss in audiological rehabilitation and in research.
Effect of Cervical Stenosis and Rate of Impact on Risk of Spinal Cord Injury During Whiplash Injury
Authors: Harinathan Balaji , Jebaseelan Davidson , Yoganandan Narayan , Vedantam Aditya 
Published: June 2023

Study Design.
Finite Element Study.

Objective.
To determine the risk of spinal cord injury with pre-existing cervical stenosis during a whiplash injury.

Summary of Background Data.
Patients with cervical spinal stenosis are often cautioned on the potential increased risk of spinal cord injury (SCI) from minor trauma such as rear impact whiplash injuries. However, there is no consensus on the degree of canal stenosis or the rate of impact that predisposes cervical SCI from minor trauma.

Methods.
A previously validated three-dimensional finite element model of the human head-neck complex with the spinal cord and activated cervical musculature was used. Rear impact acceleration was applied at 1.8 m/s and 2.6 m/s. Progressive spinal stenosis was simulated at the C5 to C6 segment, from 14 mm to 6 mm, at 2 mm intervals of ventral disk protrusion. Spinal cord von Mises stress and maximum principal strain were extracted and normalized with respect to the 14 mm spine at each cervical spine level from C2 to C7.

Results.
The mean segmental range of motion was 7.3 degrees at 1.8 m/s and 9.3 degrees at 2.6 m/s. Spinal cord stress above the threshold for SCI was noted at C5 to C6 for 6 mm stenosis at 1.8 m/s and 2.6 m/s. The segment (C6–C7) inferior to the level of maximum stenosis also showed increasing stress and strain with a higher rate of impact. For 8 mm stenosis, spinal cord stress exceeded SCI thresholds only at 2.6 m/s. Spinal cord strain above SCI thresholds were only noted in the 6 mm stenosis model at 2.6 m/s.

Conclusion.
Increased spinal stenosis and rate of impact are associated with greater magnitude and spatial distribution of spinal cord stress and strain during a whiplash injury. Spinal canal stenosis of 6 mm was associated with consistent elevation of spinal cord stress and strain above SCI thresholds at 2.6 m/s.

Study Design.
Prospective cohort study.

Summary of Background Data.
Lenke classification is used to define the curve type in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The association of Lenke classification and long-term postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remains unclear.

Objective.
The purpose of this study was to assess the association between Lenke classification and HRQoL in patients who underwent spinal fusion for AIS.

Materials and Methods.
In all, 146 consecutive patients (mean age 15.1 yr) operated for AIS between 2007 and 2019 with a minimum 2-year follow-up were included. Fifty-three (36%) patients reached the 10-year follow-up. Their HRQoL was assessed with the SRS-24 questionnaire preoperatively, at six months, two years, and 10 years after surgery.

Results.
The preoperative major curve was the largest in Lenke 3 (mean 63°) and 4 (mean 62°) groups and the lowest in Lenke 5 groups (mean 48°, P<0.05). These curves were corrected to a mean of 15° with no differences between groups. We found no evidence of differences between the preoperative HRQoL scores between the Lenke groups. The self-image domain of SRS-24 was lower in patients with isolated major thoracolumbar scoliosis (Lenke 5) when compared with double-thoracic (Lenke 2) group at the two-year follow-up (mean [95% CI] 3.6 [3.3–3.9] vs. 4.3 [4.1–4.6]). The postoperative satisfaction domain was lower in Lenke 5 group when compared with main thoracic (Lenke 1) group (mean [95% CI] 3.8 [3.5–4.0] vs. 4.3 [4.2–4.5]) and Lenke 2 group (mean 4.4, 95% CI 4.2–4.6) at the two-year follow-up. The mean total score of SRS-24 at the 10-year follow-up was highest in Lenke 1 group (mean 4.06, 95% CI 3.79–4.33) and lowest in Lenke 6 group (mean 2.92, 95% CI 2.22–3.61).

Conclusions.
Lenke classification and especially its curve type (major thoracic vs. major thoracolumbar scoliosis) was associated with long-term health-related quality of life after instrumented spinal fusion for AIS.
Perceptions and Proficiencies of Primary Care Physicians Treating Metabolic Syndrome: A Descriptive Survey-Based Study
Authors: Laszlo Nicholas 
Published: June 2023

Introduction:
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a chronic condition that has been implicated in adverse public health outcomes worldwide, including in the United States. It has been linked to diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Little is known about the perceptions and practices of primary care physicians (PCPs) regarding MetS. The only studies examining this research topic were conducted outside the United States. The aim of this study was to evaluate the MetS knowledge, proficiency, training, and practices of American PCPs, for the purpose of informing future physician education initiatives directed at MetS.

Methods:
This was a descriptive correlational design using a Likert-scale questionnaire. The survey was distributed to more than 4000 PCPs. The first 100 completed surveys were evaluated using descriptive statistical analyses.

Results:
Cumulative survey results revealed that most PCPs perceived themselves as knowledgeable on MetS, but only a minority demonstrated an understanding of leading-edge MetS protocols. Ninety-seven percent agreed that MetS is a condition of concern, but only 22% reported possessing sufficient time and resources to fully address MetS. Only half indicated that they had received training in MetS.

Discussion:
Overall results suggested that a lack of time, training, and resources may pose the greatest obstacles to optimal MetS care. Future studies should aim to identify the specific reasons why these barriers exist.
The Relationship between Plastic Surgery Residency Instagram Characteristics and Doximity Rank

Published: June 2023

Background:
Social media provides unique insight into the facilities, personnel, and culture of plastic surgery residency programs. Applicants can gain a more holistic view of programs based on their social media accounts. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the popularity of a program's Instagram account and the program's Doximity ranking and to investigate the factors which contribute to greater viewership, with a special focus on diversity.

Methods:
Using Doximity's 2021-2022 Residency Navigator, a list of all integrated plastic surgery residency programs was obtained, and their social media accounts were documented. Instagram accounts were analyzed for metrics, post content, and website links. A 15-month period of posts was analyzed, then grouped into eight categories. Diversity was assessed using average Fitzpatrick skin type for each post containing photographs of people.

Results:
Of the 88 programs, 85 (96.6%) had an Instagram account at the time of analysis. Analysis of Instagram post content found that personnel and social function posts had significantly more likes than other categories. Posts with average Fitzpatrick type greater than or equal to III also had significantly more likes. Linear regression demonstrated a positive relationship between higher Doximity rank and number of followers; however, there was no clear relationship between rank and posts per week or engagement score.

Conclusions:
Plastic surgery social media accounts may make a positive impact on followers. It is important to understand the factors that can increase engagement and broaden viewership. Tailoring posts based on content popularity and highlighting diversity may help to accomplish these goals.
