AbstractBackground and AimMonocytes and macrophages play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of acute liver failure (ALF). We aimed to study reticuloendothelial activation and its correlation with disease severity in commonly encountered yellow phosphorus (rodenticide)‐induced hepatotoxicity patients. We also studied peripheral monocyte phenotype in a subset of patients.MethodsReticuloendothelial activation markers were analyzed and correlated with disease severity score in a prospectively collected database of yellow phosphorus‐related hepatoxicity patients between 2018 and 2021. In a prospective cohort of these patients and age‐matched healthy controls, peripheral blood monocyte phenotyping was performed.ResultsReticuloendothelial activation markers were analyzed in 67 patients [Age: 23(12–64) years; median (range), men: 25, acute liver injury (ALI): 38, ALF: 29, model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score: 28 (7–40)] of yellow phosphorus‐induced hepatotoxicity. Serum ferritin (927; 10.3–34 807 ng/mL), sCD163 (4.59; 0.11–12.7 μg/mL), sCD25 (3050; 5.6–17 300 pg/mL) and plasma von Willebrand factor (423.5, 103–1106 IU/dL) were increased and showed significant correlation with liver disease severity assessed by MELD score (ρ = 0.29, ρ = 0.6, ρ = 0.56 and ρ = 0.46 respectively).Phenotyping and serum immune markers were performed in seven patients (M: 4; age: 27, 15–37 years; median, range; MELD score: 36, 21–40) and compared with eight healthy controls. Increase in classical monocytes and decrease in patrolling and intermediate monocyte subsets were observed in ALF cohort. HLA‐DRlowCD163hi (immune exhaustion), CD64hi (immune complex‐mediated response), and CCR2hi (liver homing) monocyte phenotype was noted.ConclusionAltered peripheral monocyte phenotype with enhanced liver homing and macrophage activation, suggests important role of innate immune activation, and provides a potential therapeutic target, in yellow phosphorus‐induced hepatotoxicity.

AbstractThe genusCorydalis, with ca. 530 species, has long been considered taxonomically challenging because of its great variability. Previous molecular analyses, based on a few molecular markers and incomplete taxonomic sampling, were clearly inadequate to delimit sections and subgenera. We have performed phylogenetic analyses ofCorydalisand related taxa, using 65 shared protein‐coding plastid genes from 313 accessions (including 280 samples of ca. 226 species ofCorydalis) and 152 universal low‐copy nuclear genes from 296 accessions (including 271 samples ofCorydalis) covering all 42 previously recognized sections and five independent “series”. Phylogenetic trees were inferred using Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood. Eight selected morphological characters were estimated using ancestral state reconstructions. Results include: (i) of the three subgenera ofCorydalis, two are fully supported by both the plastid and nuclear data; the third, subg.Cremnocapnos, is weakly supported by plastid DNA only, whereas in the nuclear data the two included sections form successive outgroups to the rest of the genus; (ii) among all 42 sections and five “series”, 25 sections and one “series” are resolved as monophyletic in both data sets; (iii) the common ancestor ofCorydalisis likely to be a perennial plant with a taproot, yellow flowers with a short saccate spur, linear fruits with recurved fruiting pedicels, and seeds with elaiosomes; (iv) we provide a new classification ofCorydaliswith four subgenera (of which subg.Bipapillataeis here newly described), 39 sections, 16 of which are consistent with the previous classification, 16 sections have been recircumscribed, one section has been reinstated and six new sections are established. Characters associated with lifespan, underground structures, floral spur, fruit and elaiosomes are important for the recognition of subgenera and sections. These new phylogenetic analyses combined with ancestral character reconstructions uncovered previously unrecognized relationships, and greatly improved our understanding of the evolution of the genus.
Consistency matters: Exploring the different roles of climate variability on collective turnover
Authors: Iwai Tatiana , Bortoluzzo Adriana Bruscato , Story Joana 
Published: April 2023

AbstractResearch on climate has been explored from multiple perspectives over the years. It is generally agreed that global climate (the mean value of the climate ratings of individual members) is positively related to many important individual and organizational outcomes. However, having a positive global climate is not enough. The level of variability in climate dimensions ratings also matters as it could influence how employees appraise their work environment. In this study, we explored the different roles of climate variability, defined as the level of dispersion across climate dimensions, to explain collective turnover. Drawing on signalling theory, we tested the direct and moderating effects of climate variability on collective turnover using a large and heterogeneous database composed of 25,288 individuals from 150 small‐sized to large organizations in different industries. After controlling for global climate, we found that climate variability had a curvilinear association with collective turnover. Although lower levels of climate variability had milder effects on collective turnover, moderate to higher levels of climate variability were associated with higher collective turnover rates. Moreover, climate variability also played a moderating role in the relationship between global climate and collective turnover such that a higher level of climate variability impaired the beneficial effects of a positive global climate on collective turnover. Implications for theory, practice and future research are discussed.
Explainable probabilistic deep learning framework for seismic assessment of structures using distribution‐free prediction intervals
Authors: Noureldin Mohamed , Abuhmed Tamer , Saygi Melike , Kim Jinkoo 
Published: April 2023

AbstractA new probabilistic framework is proposed for providing a distribution‐free prediction interval (PI) of seismic responses required for various earthquake engineering applications. The framework overcomes the limitation of point prediction models and avoids the complexity of traditional probabilistic methods. The framework utilizes a few assumptions of probability distributions and requires no prior assumed statistical distribution for the PI. Ensemble probabilistic deep learning models (DLMs) are used to provide quality‐driven PIs of seismic responses for low‐ to mid‐rise buildings with limited irregularity. Considering these systems and ground motions with the aid of Monte Carlo simulation and nonlinear time‐history analysis (NLTHA), huge datasets are generated for training. To have an insight into the probabilistic DLM, explainable artificial intelligence techniques are used. The superiority of the proposed framework in quantifying uncertainties is validated by comparison with the conventional Bayesian method. In addition, its applicability is investigated by providing bounds of seismic fragility curves, life cycle cost, and resilience index obtained by NLTHA for a benchmark case study model. The results showed that the proposed framework is robust and outperforms the conventional Bayesian method in uncertainty quantification for the considered dataset.
Building a community‐centered archive for Cherokee language description, documentation, and reclamation
Authors: Snead Taylor , Cushman Ellen 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIn light of recent calls for decolonial approaches to Indigenous language learning, documentation, and reclamation, we describe the creation of a digital archive initiated and sustained by community collaboration. We work with members of the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes to translate and analyze Cherokee texts. Cherokee speakers participate in the narrative commentary around these previously dormant texts. We find three ways in which a digital archive can be leveraged for language reclamation, description, and documentation, while being initiated and sustained by community collaboration: (a) by developing collaborative translation environments across communities of users, (b) by developing software engineering methods to build reliable infrastructure for the archive, and (c) by creating collaborative workflows that center community practices and design insights. Translating historically dormant texts for this archive creates a use‐inspired language act central to language description, documentation, and reclamation. The collective translation process of building this digital archive provides a sense of continuity that grounds language learning in use‐inspired practices. Going forward, we will continue to center speaker and community‐use‐inspired language practice as we expand the archive to support more types of community contributions and other languages.
Phospholipase C: Diverse functions in plant biotic stress resistance and fungal pathogenicity

Published: April 2023

AbstractPhospholipase C (PLC) generates various second messenger molecules and mediates phospholipid hydrolysis. In recent years, the important roles of plant and fungal PLC in disease resistance and pathogenicity, respectively, have been determined. However, the roles of PLC in plants and fungi are unintegrated and relevant literature is disorganized. This makes it difficult for researchers to implement PLC‐based strategies to improve disease resistance in plants. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the structure, classification, and phylogeny of the PLCs involved in plant biotic stress resistance and fungal pathogenicity. PLCs can be divided into two groups, nonspecific PLC (NPC) and phosphatidylinositol‐specific PLC (PI‐PLC), which present marked differences in phylogenetic evolution. The products of PLC genes in fungi play significant roles in physiological activity and pathogenesis, whereas those encoded by plant PLC genes mediate the immune response to fungi. This review provides a perspective for the future control of plant fungal diseases.
Promoting Citizens' willingness to participate in coproduction in public service through information frames
Authors: Wang Yan , Zhang Jinfeng 
Published: April 2023

AbstractPublic service provision reform widely calls for coproduction. Based on the framing effect theory, we took waste sorting as a research context and explored the effects of goal frames and temporal frames on citizens' willingness to participate in coproduction through two between‐subject survey experiments. We found that citizens' participation willingness was significantly increased when using goal frames or temporal frames. Furthermore, compared with gain frames, the effect of loss frames on citizens' willingness was significantly stronger, whereas the difference in the effect of present‐oriented frames and future‐oriented frames was not significant. When the information was constructed by combining loss frames and present‐oriented frames, citizens' willingness reached the highest level among the four combinations. This study has implications for nudging coproduction by information frames and implies that presenting the loss‐framed information in present‐oriented frames can maximally promote citizens' willingness to participate in coproduction.
The Teen‐Age Program: The expansion of a US government experiment in international education from postwar Germany and Austria to the early Cold War world
Authors: Fett Anna 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis article examines the Teen‐Age Program, an international academic exchange program for high‐school‐age students established by the US government in 1949. Relying on dominant American child development theories, the officials who designed this program believed that all secondary school students, anywhere in the world, underwent the same critical period of psychological development during their acutely malleable teen years. They also claimed that all high school‐age students required adequate parental supervision to ensure that they developed well‐adjusted “democratic” personalities during this intense transitional phase from childhood to adulthood. Fearing the influence of what were considered to be authoritarian childrearing practices on secondary students in postwar occupied Germany and Austria, planners designed this exchange program to give select German and Austrian teenagers a chance to experience the American way of democratic living for themselves, by letting American sponsor parents raise these foreign young people as members of their own families for a full academic year. Believing the program was a success by the mid‐1950s, planners decided to expand it to target other secondary school students from world regions of geopolitical interest in the fight against Soviet Communism.

AbstractAlthough there is substantial evidence of visual attentional biases in processing weight‐related information among individuals with weight dissatisfaction, few studies have examined auditory attentional biases in these individuals. The identification of attentional biases may provide an impetus for interventions to reduce distress, negative body image, and pathological eating patterns among weight‐dissatisfied individuals. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the attentional biases, as well as the neural consequences, toward auditory weight‐related information among weight‐dissatisfied young females. In this experiment, young female participants were assigned to an experimental group with high weight dissatisfaction (HWD) and a control group with low weight dissatisfaction (LWD) according to the levels of weight dissatisfaction. Using a spatial cueing paradigm, auditory fatness‐related, thinness‐related, and neutral household words were presented laterally as cue stimuli, followed by visual stimuli presented at either the cued or uncued location. The results revealed that auditory fatness‐related words elicited significantly larger N2ac amplitudes than auditory thinness‐related and neutral words in the HWD group. However, for the LWD group, thinness‐related words elicited a significantly larger N2ac than fatness‐related and neutral words. These results suggest an orienting attentional bias toward auditory fatness‐related body words among females with HWD and an orienting attentional bias toward auditory thinness‐related words among females with LWD.
Ruth Barcan Marcus and Minimal Essentialism
Authors: Leech Jessica 
Published: April 2023

AbstractSince the publication of Kit Fine's “Essence and Modality”, there has been lively debate over how best to think of essence in relation to necessity. The present aim is to draw attention to a definition of essence in terms of modality that has not been given sufficient attention. This neglect is perhaps unsurprising, since it is not a proposal made in response to Fine's 1994 paper and ensuing discussion, but harks back to Ruth Barcan Marcus's earlier work in the 1960s and 1970s on essentialist claims. At the core of Barcan Marcus's account is Minimal Essentialism, of which there are several extensions, in particular, for cases of referential predicates (such as “x is identical to Socrates”), Individuating Essentialism, and Aristotelian Essentialism. I argue that Minimal Essentialism fares favourably against a host of familiar examples. I close with some historical observations, that the distinction between essence and necessity was already commonplace in the early days of quantified modal logic and its philosophy.
A Socratic essentialist defense of non‐verbal definitional disputes
Authors: Koslicki Kathrin , Massin Olivier 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we argue that, in order to account for the apparently substantive nature of definitional disputes, a commitment to what we call ‘Socratic essentialism’ is needed. We defend Socratic essentialism against a prominent neo‐Carnapian challenge according to which apparently substantive definitional disputes always in some way trace back to disagreements over how expressions belonging to a particular language or concepts belonging to a certain conceptual scheme are properly used. Socratic essentialism, we argue, is not threatened by the possibility that some apparently substantive definitional disputes may turn out to be verbal or conceptual, since this pluralist strategy, in our view, requires a commitment to more, rather than fewer, essences. What is more, a deflationary, metaphysically ‘light‐weight’ construal of the essence‐ascriptions in question leads to a peculiar conception of the pursuit of metaphysicians as behaving like deceptive (or self‐deceived) grammarians pretending to be scientists. Moreover, this deflationary attitude, we argue, spreads beyond metaphysics and philosophy more broadly to apparently substantive definitional disputes in the sciences as well as other in other disciplines, such as art criticism.
Operation Friendship: Soviet and British Pen‐Pals Discuss War, Work, and Womanhood
Authors: Peri Alexis 
Published: April 2023

AbstractDuring World War II, the British and Soviet governments permitted more personal contact between their citizens in hope that they would develop feelings of goodwill and become more supportive of their Alliance. This article examines the wartime correspondence exchanged between women of Britain and the Soviet Union as well as between two organizations, which facilitated their interactions. Participants from both countries used personal and gendered language to frame the Alliance and their contributions to it. Despite their ideological and political differences, the participants found common ground by focusing on their shared experiences as mothers, wives, and workers as well as by stressing a model of womanhood, which contained both radical and traditional elements. They combined essentializing concepts of femininity, which emphasized women’s maternalism and vulnerability, with arguments for women’s empowerment, based on their ability to change state policies and overcome gender inequities. The two committees that facilitated the exchanges wielded this feminine ideal to bolster the Alliance as well as to advance their own institutional agendas. Ultimately, these conversations shed light on: popular participation in the Anglo‐Soviet alliance, the power of emotion to forge political ties, and how womanhood was conceptualized and put in service of military and political goals.
The Many Nationalities of Tamara Khanum: Friendship of the Peoples at Home, Abroad, and Within
Authors: Shaw Charles D. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractInspired by scholarship on empire and historical biography, this article examines the life of Soviet entertainer Tamara Khanum (1906–91) and her formation as a socialist intermediary. First, it considers how an ethnic Armenian born in the Uzbek SSR came to represent an image of liberated Eastern femininity to domestic audiences. Then it considers her genre of song, dance, and costume of various nationalities as a technology of Soviet cultural politics, suited to mediate interethnic harmony at home and as a weapon of Cold War cultural diplomacy. It proposes her genre as a linking strand between various eras of Soviet internationalism, helping to define a distinctive emotional dimension to Soviet Central Asia’s role as model for the Third World. Integrating autobiographical, biographical, and archival sources, the article contends that one of the byproducts of a career spent facilitating interethnic connection was Khanum’s adoption of firm but heterodox convictions on nationality and the Soviet doctrine of Friendship of the Peoples.
Left partisan politics and pension privatisation at the crossroads of political legacy and contemporary politics (1980–2017)
Authors: Doctrinal Laure 
Published: April 2023

AbstractPension reforms undertaken by affluent OECD countries in recent decades have resulted in substantial changes in the balance of public and private pension provision, characterised as a growing privatisation of old‐age incomes. However, research on the political determinants of this trend remains limited. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the political determinants of pension privatisation, and to bring partisan politics back into the theoretical framework of pension reforms. The focus is on left government strength, and a distinction is made between left government historical legacy and contemporary left government strength. Time‐series cross‐sectional regressions of pension privatisation on left government strength are performed, analysing 17 OECD countries during the period 1980–2017. The results show that partisan politics matter for pension privatisation, despite structural constraints imposed by demographic and economic factors. Left government historical legacy is associated with less privatisation compared to right and/or centre government historical legacy. Left government legacy also shapes the role of contemporary politics, as contemporary left parties in government tend to privatise less in the context of historically strong left parties in government.
Developmental regulation and physical interaction among enzymes involved in sorgoleone biosynthesis
Authors: Maharjan Bal , Vitha Stanislav , Okumoto Sakiko 
Published: April 2023

SUMMARYAmmonium in the soil is converted into nitrate by nitrifying bacteria or archaea. While nitrate is readily available for plants, it is prone to leaching and contributes to eutrophication. In addition, when the soil conditions become anaerobic, nitrate can be reduced to nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. Therefore, slowing nitrification in agricultural soil offers some benefits by reducing nitrogen loss and decreasing water and air pollution. Since nitrogen is a limiting nutrient for most ecological niches, many plants have evolved specialized compounds that reduce nitrification. One such compound, sorgoleone, which is secreted from the root hair of sorghum, has been relatively well studied due to its allelopathic function, with most enzymes involved in its biosynthesis elucidated. However, the secretion mechanisms remain unknown. Previous studies reported numerous lipidic vesicles in the sorghum root hair and speculated that they are involved in sorgoleone storage or secretion, but their roles remain unclear. Also, the subcellular organelles that are involved in sorgoleone synthesis have not been identified. In the present study, we found that the expression of sorgoleone biosynthesis enzymes is induced in a specific root zone, indicating that the secretion is developmentally regulated. The accumulation of internal vesicles preceded the peak of sorgoleone biosynthesis and secretion, indicating that the vesicles play a role in precursor storage rather than secretion. Moreover, our data suggest that enzymes that catalyze the first three steps, SbDES2, SbDES3, and SbARS1, interact with each other to form a multi‐enzyme complex on the endoplasmic reticulum surface.
