Low-temperature Thermogravimetry Study of Post-Infrared-Exposure PMMA and PMMA/zircon Composites
Authors: Sholicha S P , Hilmi A R , Pratapa S 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
A thermogravimetruic study of PMMA/zircon composites was performed at temperatures between 30 and 200°C, instead of above degradation temperature of PMMA at around 300°C. The focus of the study was to observe mass changes between the designated temperatures due to zircon filler and infrared (IR) exposure. Four samples were prepared, i.e. pure PMMA without IR exposure and with IR exposure, each without and with 1 wt.% zircon filler. The success of the synthesis of the composites was examined using x-ray diffraction (XRD). Thermal gravimetry (TG) data of samples at the designated temperatures were plotted to explain several thermal phenomena. Results showed that all samples exhibited a drop of 1.5-2% weight between 30 and 75°C with only a slight increase after IR exposure. The slight drop maybe due to water loss or evaporation of broken weak hydrocarbon bonds. There is a further slight increase in mass for the unexposed samples between 75 and 105°C, i.e. just before the glass transition temperature of PMMA. The mass decrease continued up to 135 °C for the unexposed pure PMMA and up to 135°C for the other samples, indicating that filler and IR exposure favored PMMA mass loss. After that, up to 200 °C, all samples gained mass which was presumably due to oxidation. The presence of filler and the IR exposure promoted a larger oxidation as a result of some breaking PMMA bonds.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Hydrophilic sponge composites were designed with a combination of polymers using a silane agent (Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Octhyltriethoxysilane (OTES)), Polyethylene glycol (PEG), Polyvinylalcohol (PVA) and activated natural bentonite (B). We describe a simple method of hydrophilic sponge composites preparation with hydrophilic characteristics. The preparation of activated natural bentonite was proceeded by washing in distilled water followed by curing heated at 150°C for 1 hour. The V1 hydrophilic sponge composites were prepared in the ratio of PDMS: Zn: PVA: PEG= 1: 1: 1: 1 (w/w). Through the same synthesis steps, we also prepared for V2 (2:1:1:1), V3 (1:1:2:1), and V4 (1:1:1:2). Then, activated bentonite (B) was added to V1, V2, V3, and V4 hydrophilic sponge composites, respectively, to obtained B-V1 PDMS, B-V2 PDMS, B-V3 PDMS, B-V4 PDMS, B-V1 OTES, B-V2 OTES, B-V3 OTES, and B-V4 OTES. The research also studies the physical characteristics of bentonite, and PVA/PEG-silane composites using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Even though, the physical hydrophilic characteristic of sponges was identified by the water contact angle measurement. It has been observed that the most hydrophilic materials are in B-V4 PDMS and B-V4 OTES. The presence of more PEG can cause the contact angle to be smaller or more hydrophilic, but its presence needs to be limited and further reviewed regarding its solubility in fuel oil. It concludes that hydrophilic sponge B-V4 has potential application as the separation of water from fuel oil.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background
Intersex individuals experience poor health due, in part, to healthcare avoidance. Nonconsensual intersex surgery may contribute to medical mistrust and avoidance among intersex populations.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between nonconsensual surgery and healthcare avoidance among intersex populations and to examine if medical mistrust mediates this relationship.

Methods
Data for this cross-sectional study were collected in 2018 and analyzed in 2022. Participants completed a survey collecting information on demographics, medical mistrust, history of nonconsensual surgery, and history of postponing healthcare. One hundred nine participants with valid responses to all regression model variables were included in the study. Multivariable logistic regression models controlling for age, race, and income, examined the relationship between nonconsensual surgery and postponing preventive and emergency healthcare. Mediation analyses of cross-sectional data examined whether medical mistrust mediated the relationship between nonconsensual surgery and postponing preventive and emergency healthcare.

Results
Mean medical mistrust score was 2.8 (range = 1–4; standard deviation = 0.8), 49.7% of participants had nonconsensual surgery in their lifetime, 45.9% postponed emergency healthcare, and 61.5% postponed preventive healthcare in their lifetime. Nonconsensual surgery was associated with increased odds of delaying preventive (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.17; confidence interval [CI] = 1.76–9.88; p = .016) and emergency healthcare (AOR = 4.26; CI = 1.71–10.59; p = .002). Medical mistrust mediated the relationship between nonconsensual surgery and delaying preventive (indirect effect = 1.78; CI = 1.16–3.67) and emergency healthcare (indirect effect = 1.66; CI = 1.04–3.30).

Conclusions
Nonconsensual surgery contributed to healthcare avoidance in this intersex population by increasing medical mistrust. To decrease healthcare avoidance, intersex health promotion interventions should restrict nonconsensual surgery and build trust through trauma-informed care.
Local adaptation to hummingbirds and bees in Salvia stachydifolia: insights into pollinator shifts in a Southern Andean sage
Authors: Izquierdo Juliana V , Costas Santiago M , Castillo Santiago , Baranzelli Matíias C , Sazatornil Federico , Benitez-Vieyra Santiago 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background and Aims
Differences among populations in pollinator assemblages can lead to local adaptation mosaics in which plants evolve different floral morphologies and attractive traits. Mountain habitats may promote local adaptation because of differences in environmental conditions with altitude, causing changes in pollinators, and because mountaintops can act as isolated habitats. We studied if the differences in floral shape, size and nectar traits in Salvia stachydifolia can be attributed to variations in the relative contribution of hummingbirds and insects.

Methods
We studied eight populations of S. stachydifolia in natural and under common garden conditions, to assess whether population differences have a genetic component. We recorded pollinators, their behaviour and visitation rates, and characterized pollinator assemblages. In addition, we measured nectar volume and concentration, and collected flowers to describe floral shape and size variation using geometric morphometric methods. We then applied an unsupervised learning algorithm to identify ecotypes based on morphometric traits. Finally, we explored whether populations with different pollinator assemblages had different climatic and/or elevation preferences.

Key Results
We found that variation in the identity of the main pollinators was associated with differences among populations in all traits, as expected under a local adaptation scenario. These differences persisted in the common garden, suggesting that they were not due to phenotypic plasticity. We found S. stachydifolia populations were pollinated either by bees, by hummingbirds or had mixed pollination. We identified two ecotypes that correspond to the identity of the main pollinator guilds, irrespective of climate or altitude.

Conclusions
Variation in S. stachydifolia floral traits did not follow any evident association with bioclimatic factors, suggesting that populations may have diverged as the product of historical isolation on mountaintops. We suggest that differences among populations point to incipient speciation and an ongoing pollinator shift.
Becoming a ‘Social Work Coach’: How Practising Coaching Creates Beneficial Agility in Social Work Identity
Authors: Triggs Suzanne 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article explores how social workers experienced the intersection of social work and coaching roles, and the impact that incorporating dual roles within a child protection context has on social work identity. It discusses the themes from a ‘real-world’ qualitative study conducted in a local authority family support and child protection service in the North of England. Thematic analysis was used to interpret data from focus groups and semi-structured interviews with seven social workers, and semi-structured interviews with six service users. The findings reveal that social work identities initially become disrupted through using coaching, before a more flexible, enriched professional identity is fashioned which is congruent with both the social work persona and coaching attitudes and behaviours. Service users appeared to intuit this shift in professional identity when comparing their received experiences of social work and coaching. They responded by compartmentalising their hostile associations towards their social worker identity and recast them positively as ‘coaches’. The study findings infer significant applied implications for social work practice, education and continuing professional development that includes coaching knowledge and skills training.
Estimating plume reach and trapping radii for male and female Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) captured in pheromone–kairomone baited traps in Washington State apple orchards under mating disruption

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Male Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) dispersion has largely been studied in nonmating disrupted orchards due to synthetic pheromone interference with capture in monitoring traps. Little is known about female dispersion. This study aimed to characterize male and female dispersion in mating disrupted commercial apple orchards. Sterile C. pomonella recapture data from single-trap multiple-release experiments using PHEROCON CM-DA COMBO + AA Lure-baited orange Pherocon VI delta traps was interpreted to determine pheromone–kairomone lure-baited trap effective area, trap deployment density for effective monitoring, and absolute male and female C. pomonella density in mating disrupted Washington commercial apple orchards. The maximum plume reach of the pheromone–kairomone lure in mating disrupted orchards was &lt;5 m from the baited trap for both sexes. Maximum dispersive distances for 95% of the released C. pomonella in mating disrupted orchards were 106 and 135 m for males and females, yielding trapping areas of 3.87 and 6.16 ha, respectively. Estimates were consistent across 3 growing seasons and represent the first records of male and female dispersal distance and monitoring trap efficacy from commercial C. pomonella mating disrupted apple orchards. With relevance to commercial monitoring programs and economic thresholds in mating disrupted orchards, traps should be deployed at a density of 1 per 3–6 ha. Capture of a single male or female C. pomonella corresponds to at least 82–104 C. pomonella within the 3–6 ha trapping area. This refined C. pomonella capture interpretation in pheromone–kairomone baited traps in mating disrupted commercial apple orchards yields more precise damage estimates and assists in insecticide-use decision making.
Metabolic responses to exercise

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Considerable progress has been made to characterise the metabolic responses to exercise among children and adolescents (‘young people’) over the last 90 years using a variety of techniques and study designs. Yet, the paediatric literature is often bound to ethical and technical constraints, and insights at the muscle cell level are typically reliant on studies conducted around 40–50 years ago. Among young people, exercise is associated with a complex interplay of distinct aerobic and anaerobic metabolic responses. The child–adolescent–adult transition is accompanied by a reduced reliance on fat oxidation and a reduced Fatmax, with a concomitant increased reliance on total and endogenous carbohydrate oxidation and reduced reliance on exogenous carbohydrate oxidation during exercise. These changes are governed by advances in puberty rather than age per se, with possible underlying mechanisms related to glycogen storage limitations, oxidative and glycolytic enzyme activity, lactate accumulation, and muscle fibre recruitment patterns. Growing evidence among young people shows that fat oxidation dominates during exercise targeted at individual Fatmax (typically at a moderate intensity), that is more prolonged in duration and that utilises a larger muscle mass. Conversely, carbohydrate oxidation dominates during high-intensity, short-duration exercise utilising a smaller muscle mass. From a public health perspective, acute moderate- and high-intensity exercise can induce favourable metabolic responses, including reduced postprandial glucose, insulin, and triacylglycerol concentrations in young people. Notwithstanding progress, much knowledge remains to be accumulated with regard to the metabolic responses to exercise among young people, particularly girls, using new minimally invasive technologies to advance current insights.
Development of aerobic and anaerobic fitness
Authors: Armstrong Neil , McNarry Melitta A 
Published: August 2023

AbstractPeak oxygen uptake (V.O2peak) is the ‘gold standard’ measure of youth aerobic fitness. There is no corresponding measure of anaerobic fitness and current understanding of the development of anaerobic fitness is principally founded on peak power output (PP) and mean power output (MP) during the Wingate anaerobic test. Multiplicative allometric modelling of large longitudinal data sets of V.O2peak, PP, and MP has demonstrated the powerful influence of fat-free mass (as a surrogate of active muscle mass) on the development of both aerobic and anaerobic fitness. In youth, anaerobic fitness increases at a greater rate than aerobic fitness and this can be largely explained by asynchronous developmental changes within active muscle. There is a progressive increase in potential for glycolytic flux with age and maturation so that from a metabolic perspective, children have a well-developed capacity for sports principally supported by oxidative metabolism but are likely to be disadvantaged in sports heavily reliant on anaerobic metabolism when compared to older and more mature youth. The ability to quickly attain high (or maximum) power output and retain much of it for a sustained period are important components of performance in many youth sports. This involves an interplay between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism which depends upon the mode, intensity, and duration of the exercise and the relative development of the youth athlete’s aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
Selinexor With Anti-PD-1 Antibody as a Potentially Effective Regimen for Patients With Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma Failing Prior L-Asparaginase and PD-1 Blockade
Authors: Tao Rong , Liu Chuanxu , Zhang Wenhao , Zhu Yang , Ma Yujie , Hao Siguo 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background
Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a rare and heterogeneous tumor type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) with a poor clinical outcome. There is no standardized salvage treatment failing l-asparaginase-based regimens. Here we report our retrospective results of the combined use of selinexor and PD-1 blockade (tislelizumab) in 5 patients with NKTCL who had exhausted almost all available treatments.

Patients and methods
A total of 5 patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R) NK/T-cell lymphomas failing prior l-asparaginase and anti-PD-1 antibody were retrospectively collected. They were treated with at least one cycle of XPO1 inhibitor plus the same anti-PD-1 antibody. Anti-PD-1 antibody (Tislelizumab) was administrated at 200 mg on day 1 every 3 weeks and selinexor doses and schedules ranged from 40 mg weekly for 2 weeks per 21-day cycle to 60 mg weekly per cycle.

Results
Five patients with relapsed NKTCL with extensive organ involvement including 4 central nervous system (CNS) infiltration patients were included. Four patients achieved objective responses including 3 complete responses (CR) and 1 partial response (PR). After a median follow-up time of 14.5 (range, 5-22) months, 1 patient was still in remission with CR, and the other 4 patients discontinued due to disease progression with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 6 months and median overall survival (OS) of 12 months. Four patients with CNS involvement achieved a median OS of 8 months. Our data suggest that selinexor in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody is a promising small molecule and immunotherapy combination regimen for patients with relapsed or refractory NKTCL.
No Means No
Authors: Rao Maithili 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter highlights some notable films that have responded with a loud ‘No’ to sexual violence that undermines women’s autonomy and dignity. Pink (2016) and Anaarkali of Aarah (2017) are significant films that establish a woman’s right to consent (or not), regardless of her profession, sartorial style, or social ease around men. They correct the decades old subtext underlying man–woman romance in popular films—‘no’ means ‘yes.’ Pink, set among young middle-class single women in Delhi, delivers an indictment of patriarchy through its male protagonist (Amitabh Bachchan, the lawyer). In Anaarkali of Aarah a small town Bhojpuri singer (Swara Bhaskar) calls out sexual violence by a powerful man in full public view and proclaims the importance of consent. These films illustrate that women across social and economic milieus share similar challenges. Two exceptional films from the past have also proclaimed their defiance. Duniya Na Mane (1937) made during the reformist wave in Maharashtra portrays the rebellion of a young girl (Shanta Apte) against her marriage to an elderly widower. Parallel cinema’s Mirch Masala (1987) set in pre-Independence India in rural Gujarat is about the collective action of women who thwart the local Subedar’s unwanted lustful advances. Today’s ‘No’ needs to be seen against the shoddy portrayal of rape in Bollywood and its regressive trope, the deified ‘victim-avenger’ (Insaaf Ka Tarazu, 1980; Angaarey, 1986) which contemporary cinema seems to have discarded. The trajectory towards fresh narratives of women’s autonomy perhaps reflects the gradual evolution of society over time.
The Nature of the Biblical Hebrew Poetic Line
Authors: Grosser Emmylou J. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3, the heart of this book’s cognitive approach, explores the nature of the line in biblical poetry. The term “line” is defined as the basic unit of structure and rhythm in a versification system. The problem with the term “line” for biblical poetry is that the biblical poetic line is not linear, graphically or conceptually. Biblical poetic lines must be reconceptualized not as straight and parallel but as various kinds of segments that create shapes or figures, the line-groupings of biblical poetry. Biblical poetry is compared with English metrical and free-verse poetry to show how the mental realization of lines differs in these versification systems. In biblical poetry, line structure emerges in the part-whole relationship of the line to the line-grouping, through the mental process of segregating lines and integrating line-groupings.
Biblical Poetry and Prose
Authors: Grosser Emmylou J. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 8 addresses the distinction between verse-poetry and prose in the Bible, as well as aspects of their interrelatedness. The initial section discusses verse and prose as modes of structure and the relationship between verse and poetry. The following two sections address problems with how biblical poetry and prose are often approached: confusion regarding poetic structure and poetic function, related to Roman Jakobson’s approach to parallelism, and the problem of a poetic features approach for identifying biblical poetry. The final three sections consider issues specific to reading actual biblical texts: whether a passage is prose or poetry, the presence of so-called parallelism in biblical narrative, and elevated prose style and the mixing of the structural modes in the prophetic books.
Looking at Faces
Authors: Trigg Stephanie 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter opens up an inquiry into the changing and conflicted representations of the sensory and perceptual act of ‘looking’ in literary texts in the context of the human face. The face is often seen as signifying humanity; nevertheless, individual faces are inevitably perceived through deeply historicized and culturally specific frameworks, and literary texts involve the reader in the process of reading faces according to changing cognitive, perceptual, and rhetorical conventions. Such changes can be profitably compared and contrasted across different historical periods and cultural contexts. The chapter’s conceptual starting point is the ambiguity between acts of perception (‘looking’) and acts of appearance (‘look’). It subsequently explores the different ways faces can ‘look’ in the medieval discourse of courtly love, early modern and modern understandings of how a courtier should appear in public, and a contemporary representation of the interface between human, animal, and spirit faces in Australian Indigenous literature.
A Sanitary Sense Of Smell
Authors: Kluwick Ursula 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the role of smell in sanitary reform from the 1840s to ‘the Great Stink of London’ in 1858. Sanitary reformers promoted and used smell as an indicator of environmental conditions, as a diagnostic as well as an affective tool. The chapter approaches smell from a new materialist perspective, analysing how insanitary odours functioned also as discursive phenomena. It compares and contrasts olfactory strategies in non-literary sanitary reform documents and in novels to examine what smell reveals about human self-positionings with respect to insanitary environments. Particular attention is paid to how these diverse text types differ in their engagement with the boundary violations of smell as a sense that breaches the borders of the self. This comparative analysis foregrounds the specific contribution of literature, which challenges the distance between sanitary observers and their human as well as more-than-human environment, which non-literary public-health texts strive to uphold.
Reading ‘Ful Savourly’
Authors: Flannery Mary C. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter considers the relationship between the sense of taste and good taste—that is, the development and exercise of aesthetic value judgment. It explores the ways in which literary form and literary analysis might be able to shed light on the interrelated histories of the physical sense of taste and the idea of aesthetic judgment at a formative moment in the development of English language and literature: the later Middle Ages. Focusing on Geoffrey Chaucer’s portrayal of an experience of literal or physical taste (Absolon kissing Alison’s arse in The Miller’s Tale), the chapter shows how Chaucer uses narrative verse to depict a brief sensory encounter unfolding in time, and how that painstaking/painful unfolding paints a picture of knowledge being acquired via the senses and invites readers to reflect on what kind of narrative they consider to be in good taste.
