AbstractIndividuals with grandiose narcissism exhibit enhanced antagonism and a defensive pattern of discordance between their emotional and physiological reactions to self‐threatening evaluations. Although theoretical perspectives link narcissistic defensiveness to negative emotions, empirical evidence linking grandiose narcissism to emotional reactivity remains mixed. The current study used self‐reported affect, electrocardiography, and facial electromyography (fEMG) to examine whether people scoring high in grandiose narcissism show amplified physiological and self‐reported emotional reactivity to negative social evaluation. Following two challenging cognitive tasks, participants received negative and neutral feedback in a face‐to‐face evaluation situation. Receiving negative feedback decreased self‐reported positive affect and dominance, slowed heart rate, and amplified fEMG activity related to frowning and eye constriction. Although self‐reported emotional reactions were unrelated to grandiose narcissism, fEMG activity associated with negative affect was significantly enhanced by grandiose narcissism. In conclusion, individuals with higher levels of grandiose narcissism may not be willing to report overt emotional reactivity to self‐threatening feedback, but physiological responses “beneath their thin skin” reveal amplified threat‐related facial muscle activity suggestive of a negative emotional state.

Published: April 2023

AbstractPerforated plates are commonly used for flow control in pressurized systems. In different industrial applications, these devices are also used in series (multistage perforated plates) to manage high-pressure drop or reduce cavitation occurrence in industrial pipelines and enhance efficiency of gas turbines in power plants. In some specific conditions, the installation of perforated plates in series is a simple and cost-effective solution that increases plant efficiency. However, the large number of design parameters complicates the search for the optimal solution. With the aim of improving the knowledge of the most relevant design parameters, in the present investigation, the dissipation characteristics of multistage perforated plates are studied. Specifically, the analysis of the dependence of the pressure loss coefficient Eu on relative spacing and hole alignment for two subsequent identical plates is performed with CFD approach. Eight plates with different characteristics such as porosity, thickness, diameter, position, and number of holes are studied. The considered porosities vary in a range of 0.3–0.5, the ratio between plate thickness and hole diameter ranges between 0.7 and 1.3, and the number of holes between 4 and 26. A critical spacing between the plates, beyond which the pressure losses are independent of the alignment of the holes, has been calculated. The results obtained are relevant for a deeper understanding of the complex phenomenon of multistage perforated plates and can be used for the design and the installation of these devices commonly used in different engineering applications.

By the fine manipulation of the exceptional long-range germanium-telluride (Ge─Te) bonding through charge transfer engineering, we have achieved exceptional thermoelectric (TE) and mechanical properties in lead-free GeTe. This chemical bonding mechanism along with a semiordered zigzag nanostructure generates a notable increase of the average

and effectively eliminated the thermal expansion fluctuation at the phase transition, which was problematic for application, by the present charge transfer engineering process and concomitant formation of microstructures. We further fabricated a single-leg TE generator and obtained a conversion efficiency of ~13.4% at the temperature difference of 463 K on a commercial instrument, which is located at the pinnacle of TE conversion.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) dendrites are a common type of mineral dendrite that typically forms two-dimensional structures on rock surfaces. Three-dimensional (3-D) Mn dendrites in rocks have rarely been reported, and so their growth implications have largely escaped attention. Here, we combined high-resolution X-ray and electron-based data with numerical modeling to give the first detailed description of natural 3-D Mn dendrites (in clinoptilolite tuffs) and elucidate their growth dynamics. Our data show that 3-D dendrite growth occurred by accretion of Mn-oxide nanoparticles formed when Mn-bearing fluids mixed with oxygenated pore water. The geometry of the resulting structures is sensitive to ion concentrations, the volume of infiltrating fluid, and the number of fluid pulses; thus, 3-D dendrites record the hydrogeochemical rock history.

Published: April 2023

ObjectivesTo (1) describe the dispensing of asthma preventers at hospital discharge and estimate its effect on hospital readmissions, and (2) estimate the effect of community asthma preventer dispensing on readmissions for the subgroup of children who were not prescribed an asthma preventer at discharge.DesignMultisite cohort study with linked administrative data.ParticipantsChildren aged 3–18 years admitted with asthma to a tertiary paediatric, mixed paediatric and adult, or regional hospital between 2017 and 2018.Main outcome measureHospital readmission for asthma within 12 months.ResultsOf the 767 participants, 201 (26.2%) were newly prescribed or requested to continue with asthma preventers. Of these, only 91 (45.3%) dispensed their discharge prescription within 3 days or had an active prescription. There was no evidence for a protective effect of discharge asthma preventer dispensing on asthma hospital readmissions within 12 months (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.97, p=0.57). Of the 566 children who were not prescribed asthma preventers at discharge, 269 (47.5%) had one or more prescriptions dispensed in the community within 12 months. Participants who were in the protected period (asthma preventer dispensed) had reduced risk of an asthma hospital readmission (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.02, p=0.06), including preschool children (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.25, 0.93, p=0.03) on subgroup analysis.ConclusionsThere was a low rate for prescribing and dispensing of hospital discharge asthma preventers and no protective effect was found for its impact on readmissions. A protective effect on readmissions was found for community asthma preventer dispensing.

Summary This journal (Drone Systems and Applications; DSA) conducted a targeted “horizon scan” during 2022 within our team of editors and associate editors. We asked— Which research areas currently under-represented in Drone Systems and Applications would you like to see more heavily represented in the future? The process highlighted five areas of interest and potential growth: Drones in the geosciences Aquatic drones Ground drones Drones within calibration/validation experiments Drones and computer vision Over the past two years (2020–22), the journal has published over 50 papers with a strong leaning towards aerial drones for ecology and also with an engineering focus. DSA is keen to receive new submissions addressing the five highlighted areas, which lie firmly within the aims and scope of the journal. Further to the horizon scan, we propose two special collections for the coming year—one addressing drone applications ( drones in geoscience applications) and a second addressing drone systems ( aquatic drone systems). We would like to hear from scientists and practitioners in these fields as both contributors and (or) collection editors.

Authors: SIRIWITTAYAKORN Wuttipong , SAOSARN Parvaritpong , FONGSRI Warangkana , ATTHAKORN Wattanai 
Published: April 2023

Background: Motor branch of the ulnar nerve (MUN) injury during carpal tunnel surgery is rare and it should never be injured during carpal tunnel release (CTR). However, an iatrogenic injury of the MUN can cause catastrophic physical and mental suffering. The aim of our study is to understand the anatomy of the MUN in relation to carpal tunnel in order to prevent iatrogenic injury during CTR. Methods: We dissected 34 fresh cadaver hands and located the MUN in relation to the anatomical axis used for carpal tunnel surgery. Possible mechanisms of injury and the vulnerable area of the MUN were determined along the dissection. Results: The MUN turned towards the thumb distal to hook of hamate. It then travelled on the floor of the carpal tunnel which was formed by intrinsic hand muscles under flexor tendons. The nerve located at 29.39 ± 7.41, 35.01 ± 3.14 and 38.79 ± 4.03 mm (Mean ± SD) in the central axis of ring finger, the vertical axis of the third web-space and the central axis of middle finger respectively. The nerve’s turning point, 10.9 ± 2.63 mm distal to the centre of hook of hamate where it lies just below the level of the transverse carpal ligament. Conclusions: Surgeons should be aware of the nerve’s location. Surgical dissection or passing of any surgical instruments around the hook of hamate should be done with care. Level of Evidence: Level IV (Therapeutic)

Published: April 2023

A compact, dual-port, triband MIMO antenna is designed and tested for three sub-6 GHz WLAN bands for IoT applications. The size and performance of the antenna make it versatile for the emerging IoT applications communicating using the 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz, and 5.8 GHz WLAN frequencies. The single radiating element of antenna geometry includes a pair of modified and optimized rectangular patches. A complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR) structure is incorporated in the ground plane as a defect (defected ground structure) to attain the third operational band. The orientation of the elements, orthogonally arranged, along with DGS, enhances the isolation between the radiating elements keeping it below 18 dB throughout the three operating frequency bands. The size of the final antenna is as small as

Abstract
γδT cells are promising candidates for cellular immunotherapy due to their immune regulation through cytokine production and MHC-independent direct cytotoxicity against a broad spectrum of tumors. However, current γδT cell-based cancer immunotherapy has limited efficacy, and novel strategies are needed to improve clinical outcomes. Here, we report that cytokine pretreatment with IL12/18, IL12/15/18, IL12/18/21, and IL12/15/18/21 effectively enhanced the activation and cytotoxicity of in vitro–expanded murine and human γδT cells. However, only adoptive transfer of IL12/18/21 preactivated γδT cells significantly inhibited tumor growth in a murine melanoma model and a hepatocellular carcinoma model. Both IL12/18/21 preactivated antibody-expanded and zoledronate-expanded human γδT cells effectively controlled tumor growth in a humanized mouse model. IL12/18/21 preactivation promoted γδT cell proliferation and cytokine production in vivo and enhanced IFNγ production and activation of endogenous CD8+ T cells in a cell–cell contact- and ICAM-1–dependent manner. Furthermore, the adoptive transfer of IL12/18/21 preactivated γδT cells could overcome the resistance to anti–PD-L1 therapy, and the combination therapy had a synergistic effect on the therapeutic outcomes. Moreover, the enhanced antitumor function of adoptively transferred IL12/18/21 preactivated γδT cells was largely diminished in the absence of endogenous CD8+ T cells when administered alone or in combination with anti–PD-L1, suggesting a CD8+ T cell–dependent mechanism. Taken together, IL12/18/21 preactivation can promote γδT cell antitumor function and overcome the resistance to checkpoint blockade therapy, indicating an effective combinational cancer immunotherapeutic strategy.

Published: April 2023

The genus Anchistus Borradaile, 1898 is a colourful shrimp from the commensal group. In this study, we are reporting a new occurrence of Giant Clam commensal shrimp Anchistus miersi (de Man, 1888 [in de Man, 1887–1888]) caught from Agatti Island, Lakshadweep Sea during February 2020. The present specimens (one each matured male and female) were collected from the mantle cavity of the Giant Clam, Tridacna maxima (Roding, 1798) in the coral lagoon at a depth of 4 m. Anchistus miersi is morphologically very similar to Anchistus demani, which is easily distinguished by the presence of a strong antennal spine and conspicuous accessory spinules in the third─fifth pereopods and presence of small blue spots all over the body. The molecular analysis confirms that, the morphological identification of the present Indian specimens displays an intraspecific genetic divergence of 0.3─1.2%. Besides, the remarkable taxonomic features and colour patterns, distributional ranges are also attested with the report of the species from the present area.
Vertebrate road kills on State Highway 26 in Khandwa Forest Division, central India
Authors: Husain Kamran , Mehta Prachi 
Published: April 2023

The road network is spreading rapidly in human dominated as well as forested areas in India. Roads passing through forested areas are known to negatively impact wildlife populations by contributing to wildlife-road kills besides causing habitat fragmentation, soil erosion, and disruption of gene flow. This paper documents encounters of wildlife road kills on the State Highway 26 (SH 26) passing through the forested area of Khandwa Territorial Forests in central India. Between October 2015 and June 2017 and from November 2021 to June 2022 we collected opportunistic data on wildlife mortalities on SH 26. We recorded 61 wildlife mortalities on a stretch of 34 km of SH 26. Of the road kills encountered, 71% were birds, 21% were mammals, and 8% were herpetofauna. Highest among bird kills were members of nightjars (Caprimulgidae) (26%) and owls (Strigidae) (23%). Among owls, we recorded two road kills of the endangered Forest Owlet Athene blewitti and individuals of five other owl species. Among other taxa, road-hits of Jungle Cat, Indian Palm Civet, Golden Jackal, Central Indian Langur, and a few snakes were recorded. Most bird kills on the road were recorded in February while the highest number of mammal and herpetofauna kills were recorded in the month of November. We report that the land use around the road and species trait contribute to vulnerability of a species to road-hit. Based on the frequency of road kills, we have identified seven hotspots of road kills on SH 26. Since road construction is one of the major mandates of the Government in India, it is suggested to carry out systematic environment impact assessment on existing and proposed roads to understand the patterns of spatio-temporal incidents of road kills. Planting of tall trees and installation of speed bumps and signboards to alert drivers should be planned at the initial stage of road construction. If appropriate mitigation measures to prevent wildlife mortalities are incorporated while the road is being constructed, it may be possible to bridge the gap between development and conservation.
Tongues as of Fire
Authors: Griffiths John D. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The coming of the Spirit of God at Pentecost (Acts 2.1-4) is described in dense imagery, involving auditory, visual, and somatic elements. This study outlines the recent scholarship on these theophanic elements, and in particular, the parallels with the temple inauguration theophanies in the Old Testament. While these parallels are increasingly becoming accepted, the implications of the temple inauguration imagery in Acts 2.1-4 remains unresolved. The core issue revolves around whether it is the Spirit or Jesus who now embodies the theophanic presence of God which once resided in the Jerusalem temple. This study concludes that it is the Spirit of God that now embodies the glory of God which resided in the temple, with the early Jesus community being the new eschatological temple of God.
Signal Cost in Digital Diplomacy: A Study of American and Chinese Public Outreach
Authors: Wu Di , Sevin Efe 
Published: April 2023

Summary
This study looks at how digital technologies disrupted signalling and signal cost calculations in public diplomacy within the context of Covid-19. The pandemic presented a noteworthy opportunity to observe how countries attempt to navigate a relatively unknown communication landscape as a result of external shock and a crisis for states’ images and reputations. We position the communicative outcomes of the pandemic as an exploratory case to discuss how countries use social media to engage with target audiences. We study American and Chinese messaging on Twitter about Covid-19 employing an analytical model of signal cost developed from signalling theory. Using a data set of 1,512 tweets coming from nine different American and Chinese accounts, we investigated their signal cost through content and network analyses. Our findings describe and operationalise signal cost in digital public diplomacy through signaller, signal content and outreach.
A Letter from Algerian Rabbi David Askénazi to Rabbi Kook Advocating for the Use of the Organ in Synagogue Services
Authors: Abensour Gabriel 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
In 1934, David Askénazi, the chief rabbi of Oran, Algeria, responded to a decision by Abraham Kook, at the time chief rabbi of Mandatory Palestine, condemning the use of the organ in synagogue services in Oran. Transcending the typical European dichotomies between Orthodox and Reform, Askénazi’s letter is above all a testimony to the religious and cultural hybridity of Algerian Jews during the colonial era. In a mere few pages, the rabbi developed a religious argument mixing elements of language and arguments typical of Maghrebian rabbis with positions common to liberal European Jews. Aware of the structure of power between the East and the West, Askénazi also criticized Kook’s interventionism in the affairs of his community. In light of what he denounced as a form of Jewish imperialism, Askénazi emphasized the agency of Sephardic rabbis and called for full recognition of their religious tradition.
