Introduction: Obesity is a major health concern in pregnancy, and it can lead to various adverse outcomes for both the mother and the fetus. The increasing prevalence of obesity among pregnant women calls for effective strategies to prevent its occurrence and reduce its consequences. Health education and physical activity have been identified as potential interventions to prevent obesity in pregnant women. Aim of study: The aim of the review is to present the impact of physical activity and health education on obesity in pregnant women, as well as its pathogenesis and treatment.Materials and Methods: The authors followed the PRISMA guidelines to ensure high-quality work. The search was based on databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science, with a limitation to publications after. The strategy relied on search terms such as 'obesity in pregnancy', 'treatment', 'physical activity', 'health education', and 'sport', combined using 'AND' and 'OR' operators. The team members reviewed the abstracts and then decided on their inclusion in the study. Results: According to literature reviews, health education and physical activity can be effective interventions in preventing obesity in pregnant women. They can help prevent excessive weight gain during pregnancy and reduce the risk of gestational diabetes and other obesity-related complications. Individual dietary advice, exercise programs, and lifestyle modification counseling are recommended. However, further research is needed to determine the most effective strategies for preventing obesity in pregnant women and assessing long-term health outcomes.Conclusions: Both regular physical activity and health education can be useful in prevention and treatment of obesity during pregnancy, and should be included as part of a comprehensive approach to women's health during pregnancy. It is important for people to understand the benefits of regular physical activity throughout the entire pregnancy period.

Authors: Eckman David J. , Henderson Shane G. , Shashaani Sara 
Published: March 2023

This paper introduces a major redesign of SimOpt, a testbed of simulation-optimization (SO) problems and solvers. The testbed promotes the empirical evaluation and comparison of solvers and aims to accelerate their development. Relative to previous versions of SimOpt, the redesign ports the code to an object-oriented architecture in Python; uses an implementation of the MRG32k3a random number generator that supports streams, substreams, and subsubstreams; supports the automated use of common random numbers for ease and efficiency; includes a powerful suite of plotting tools for visualizing experiment results; uses bootstrapping to obtain error estimates; accommodates the use of data farming to explore simulation models and optimization solvers as their input parameters vary; and provides a graphical user interface. The SimOpt source code is available on a GitHub repository under a permissive open-source license and as a Python package. History: Accepted by Ted Ralphs, Area Editor for Software Tools.

produções imagéticas: uma pesquisa no modo criança
Authors: Lopes de oliveira Vanderleia de lourdes Rodrigues , Santos chisté Bianca 
Published: March 2023

This article is part of a research project guided by a methodology for the production of images by children from 2 to 6 years old, developed in the Zona da Mata, in Rondônia. Children's filmic and photographic image productions inspired this inquiry, and suggest a novel way of thinking about children, childhood and research. Based on the questions, What can children's image productions tell us in a survey carried out in periods of social isolation? and What do children’s representations tell us about their lives beyond school? we trace the thematic pathways taken in their production of photographic images and short videos, following our subjects as they engender themselves through the production of images and through their verbal commentaries on those images. What can a child do with a camera in her/his hands? Observing the patterns of their image-making allowed us to enter temporalities and spatialities that suggest other ways of being in the world, particularly in a time of pandemic. What these young children communicate to us through their images and video footage is the power of experience, of traces, remnants and scraps, revealing a capacity for astonishment at things that may go unnoticed by adults. They invite us to experience other ways of seeing and relating to the world, creating other senses and sensations for research, or even for life itself.
voting on the questions as a pedagogical practice in a community of philosophical enquiry
Authors: Reynolds Rose-anne 
Published: March 2023

This article considers two of the methodological steps in a Community of Philosophical Enquiry: developing the questions and voting on the questions. Both of these practices are enacted by the 8-9 year old children who are the participants in a philosophical enquiry, which I facilitated at a government primary school in South Africa. Matthews (1994) reminds us that children as philosophical thinkers/doers have been left out of the dominant narratives about children and childhood. A question that guides this research is where is the place for philosophical questions (developed by children) and the kind of philosophical thinking/drawing/creating/being for child (and adults) in schools? How do we make space for such questioning–so that the richness of these pedagogical encounters can really matter and make a difference to the teaching and learning taking place? Gandorfer in an interview with Barad (2021), suggests that critical thought “is to encounter what is unrecognizable and imperceptible, yet sensible and constructive of sense without separating it from the physical world” (p. 20). I would agree and apply this to the critical thoughts of child. This thinking is not located in the child, in their mind and does not emerge only through the thoughts, child verbalises. A critical posthumanism theory/practice analysis ensures that as researcher, I do not stand outside of the research peering in at a distance. Similarly the children, the questions, the voting and the enquiries are not separate from the world, they are all already entangled with the world. When the children are voting on the questions, this performs as a pedagogy of interruption (Michaud, 2020). As the facilitator, I do not know which question will receive the largest number of votes for the philosophical enquiry. This makes possible an emergent curriculum in its be(com)ing. Toby Rollo’s (2016) formulations about child as political agent and not just moral agent and the implications for more democratic and just schooling are theorised in this paper through the act of the children voting on the questions. I argue that children are not just excluded from participating in decisions about what and even how they are learning at school but from most pedagogical practices in classrooms and schools. I show how the children creating the questions and voting on the questions can be democratic practices with political and moral implications in a community of philosophical enquiry.
Engineered pseudo and hybrid anapole states in a silicon nanoresonator metasurface

Published: March 2023

Significant attention has been devoted to realizing non-radiating states (popularly known as anapole states) in several systems due to the strong localization of electromagnetic fields, which can be attained through destructive interference of various dipole moments, yielding fundamental or higher-order anapole states. Recently, it has been shown that the interference of higher-order excitation also permits light manipulation at the nanoscale and provides additional benefits such as efficient power transfer and enhancement in nonlinearities. In this work, we report discrete electric anapole (pseudo and hybrid) by careful design of an all-dielectric metasurface consisting of a silicon nanodisk such that a higher-order toroidal electric dipole (TD) and quadrupole interfere destructively, producing a hybrid anapole at 815 nm, whereas the pseudo anapole is generated when TD and second-order TD minima occur at the same wavelength of 522 nm. The phase plots confirm the findings of these radiationless states. Such dual and distinct non-radiating current configurations may find applications in spectroscopy, sensing, switching, optical nonlinearity, and optomechanics.
Risk factors based on myoma characteristics for predicting postoperative complications following cesarean myomectomy
Authors: Lee Young-Eun , Park Suyeon , Lee Keun-Young , Song Ji-Eun 
Published: March 2023

Objectives
To evaluate the influence of myoma characteristics on cesarean myomectomy and to demonstrate its additional advantages.

Methods
Retrospective data were collected from 292 women with myomas who had undergone cesarean section at Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital between 2007 and 2019. We performed subgroup analysis according to the type, weight, number, and size of myomas. Preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels, operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, incidence of transfusion, uterine artery embolization, ligation, hysterectomy, and postoperative complications were compared among subgroups.

Results
There were 119 patients who had cesarean myomectomy and 173 who had cesarean section only. An increase in postoperative hospitalization and operation time was observed in the cesarean myomectomy group compared to that in the caesarean section only group (mean difference, 0.7 days, p = 0.01, 13.5 minutes, p <0.001). Estimated blood loss, hemoglobin differences, and transfusion rates were higher in the cesarean myomectomy than in the cesarean section only group. There were no differences in postoperative complications (fever, bladder injury, and ileus) between the two groups. No hysterectomy cases were reported in the cesarean myomectomy group. In subgroup analysis, the larger and heavier the myoma, the higher the risk of bleeding that led to transfusion. Estimated blood loss, differences in hemoglobin, and transfusion rate increased depending on myoma size and weight. A significant increase in postoperative hospitalization was observed in women with larger and heavier myomas. However, there was no statistical difference among the three types of myomas.

Conclusion
In cesarean myomectomy, larger (≥ 10 cm), and heavier myomas (≥ 500 g), were associated with postoperative outcomes, but not the number or type of myoma. The safety of cesarean myomectomy is not inferior to that of caesarean section only, considering its positive effects such as gynecological symptom relief and avoidance of the next surgery.
High incidence of barotrauma in patients admitted with COVID-19 to ICU and associated mortality in rural Appalachia: An observational study
Authors: Sharma Sunil , Badami Varun , Rojas Edward , Sangani Rahul , Chapman Kyle , Avalon Carlo , King Austin , Wen Sijin 
Published: March 2023

Objectives
To assess the incidence of barotrauma and its impact on mortality in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU.

Design
Single-center retrospective study of consecutive COVID-19 patients admitted to a rural tertiary-care ICU. The primary outcomes were incidence of barotrauma in COVID-19 patients and all-cause 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes were the length of stay (LOS) in the hospital and ICU. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used in the survival data analysis.

Setting
Medical ICU, West Virginia University Hospital (WVUH), USA.

Patients
All adult patients were admitted to the ICU for acute hypoxic respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 between September 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020. Historical controls were ARDS patients admitted pre-COVID.

Intervention
Not applicable.

Measurements and main results
One hundred and sixty-five consecutive patients with COVID-19 were admitted to the ICU during the defined period, compared to 39 historical non-COVID controls. The overall incidence of barotrauma in COVID-19 patients was 37/165 (22.4%) compared to 4/39 (10.3%) in the control group. Patients with COVID-19 and barotrauma had a significantly worse survival (HR = 1.56, p = 0.047) compared to controls. In those requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, the COVID group also had significantly higher rates of barotrauma (OR 3.1, p = 0.03) and worse all-cause mortality (OR 2.21, p = 0.018). COVID-19 with barotrauma had significantly higher LOS in the ICU and the hospital.

Conclusions
Our data on critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU shows a high incidence of barotrauma and mortality compared to the controls. Additionally, we report a high incidence of barotrauma even in non-ventilated ICU patients.
Homogenization of oblique boundary value problems
Authors: Choi Sunhi , Kim Inwon C. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We consider a nonlinear Neumann problem, with periodic oscillation in the elliptic operator and on the boundary condition. Our focus is on problems posed in half-spaces, but with general normal directions that may not be parallel to the directions of periodicity. As the frequency of the oscillation grows, quantitative homogenization results are derived. When the homogenized operator is rotation-invariant, we prove the Hölder continuity of the homogenized boundary data. While we follow the outline of Choi and Kim (Homogenization for nonlinear PDEs in general domains with oscillatory Neumann boundary data, Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées 102 (2014), no. 2, 419–448), new challenges arise due to the presence of tangential derivatives on the boundary condition in our problem. In addition, we improve and optimize the rate of convergence within our approach. Our results appear to be new even for the linear oblique problem.
They are all against us! The effects of populist blame attributions to political, corporate, and scientific elites
Authors: Hameleers Michael , van der Meer Toni G. L. A. , Boumans Jelle W. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Populist attributions of blame have important effects on citizens’ attitudes, cognitions, emotions, and behaviors. Extending previous studies that have mostly looked at populist messages blaming political elites, we use an online survey experiment (N = 805) to investigate the effects of blaming different elitist actors in populist and non-populist ways: (1) political elites, (2) corporate elites, (3) scientific elites, and (4) a combination of these elites. We compare mere causal responsibility attribution to populist blame attributions that highlight a central opposition between “pure ordinary people” and “corrupt elites” to tease out the specific effect of populist rhetoric. Results suggest that populist messages blaming all elites have stronger effects than isolated cues. Furthermore, populist blame attribution leads to more negative perceptions of the elites than non-populist blame attribution. The finding that populist frames can – under some conditions – activate negative perceptions toward different elites is alarming in times of declining trust in societal institutions, and calls for a more encompassing understanding of populists’ scapegoats.
Consistency of mixture models with a prior on the number of components
Authors: Miller Jeffrey W. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This article establishes general conditions for posterior consistency of Bayesian finite mixture models with a prior on the number of components. That is, we provide sufficient conditions under which the posterior concentrates on neighborhoods of the true parameter values when the data are generated from a finite mixture over the assumed family of component distributions. Specifically, we establish almost sure consistency for the number of components, the mixture weights, and the component parameters, up to a permutation of the component labels. The approach taken here is based on Doob’s theorem, which has the advantage of holding under extraordinarily general conditions, and the disadvantage of only guaranteeing consistency at a set of parameter values that has probability one under the prior. However, we show that in fact, for commonly used choices of prior, this yields consistency at Lebesgue-almost all parameter values, which is satisfactory for most practical purposes. We aim to formulate the results in a way that maximizes clarity, generality, and ease of use.
Vermittlung auf Augenhöhe – digitale Editionen inklusiv gestaltet
Authors: Henzel Katrin 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Digital editions should be permanently accessible to all – but what about people with disabilities? This question is explored in this article. It is not only about the publication of data on the user interface, but also about data generation as well as the findability and reusability of data from editions with regard to improved access. While there are already concrete recommendations for designing the user interface to be more accessible, there is still a lack of specifications for the subsequent use of data beyond the user interface.
Varianz vermitteln

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Textual variance poses a particular challenge to editing medieval texts. Digital editions in particular can respond to these challenges in order to convey to the user the potential of variance and to enable an interpretation of medieval literary works that is close to their actual transmission. This paper presents some possibilities of dealing with and presenting variance through the example of the digital edition of a late-medieval legendary, the so-called Der Heiligen Leben, Redaktion. This collection of saints’ legends offers a particularly good example of the value of considering textual variants, while also posing particular challenges for communicating variance.
The fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia) in adults and children: testing trait-congruent false memories in the Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm
Authors: Brauer Kay , Proyer René T. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia) is an individual differences variable characterized by negative reactions to laughter. Based on the theory of trait-congruent information processing, we conducted a series of experiments to examine a gelotophobia-related memory bias toward laughter in the Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) paradigm. The DRM is a reliable method to provoke false memories (FM). In Study 1 (101 adults), gelotophobia related positively to FM of the “laughter”-lure in recognition, and greater confidence in that FM (d ≤ 0.32). However, findings did not replicate in independent samples of 167 adults and 172 children of the preregistered Study 2. Aggregating the findings across studies indicated that gelotophobia is unrelated to laughter-related FM in the DRM paradigm (d ≤ 0.10) and that FM do not account for gelotophobes’ memories of ridicule.

RNA stability is meticulously controlled. Here, we sought to determine whether an essential post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism plays a role in pain. Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) safeguards against translation of mRNAs that harbor premature termination codons and controls the stability of ∼10% of typical protein-coding mRNAs. It hinges on the activity of the conserved kinase SMG1. Both SMG1 and its target, UPF1, are expressed in murine DRG sensory neurons. SMG1 protein is present in both the DRG and sciatic nerve. Using high-throughput sequencing, we examined changes in mRNA abundance following inhibition of SMG1. We confirmed multiple NMD stability targets in sensory neurons, including ATF4. ATF4 is preferentially translated during the integrated stress response (ISR). This led us to ask whether suspension of NMD induces the ISR. Inhibition of NMD increased eIF2-α phosphorylation and reduced the abundance of the eIF2-α phosphatase constitutive repressor of eIF2-α phosphorylation. Finally, we examined the effects of SMG1 inhibition on pain-associated behaviors. Peripheral inhibition of SMG1 results in mechanical hypersensitivity in males and females that persists for several days and priming to a subthreshold dose of PGE2. Priming was fully rescued by a small-molecule inhibitor of the ISR. Collectively, our results indicate that suspension of NMD promotes pain through stimulation of the ISR.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTNociceptors undergo long-lived changes in their plasticity which may contribute to chronic pain. Translational regulation has emerged as a dominant mechanism in pain. Here, we investigate the role of a major pathway of RNA surveillance called nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). Modulation of NMD is potentially beneficial for a broad array of diseases caused by frameshift or nonsense mutations. Our results suggest that inhibition of the rate-limiting step of NMD drives behaviors associated with pain through activation of the ISR. This work reveals complex interconnectivity between RNA stability and translational regulation and suggests an important consideration in harnessing the salubrious benefits of NMD disruption.
