Islam as liberatory exploration: praying with British inclusive Muslims
Authors: Rahman Fahad 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper explores the process of meaning-making in an Islamic site—The Inclusive Mosque Initiative (IMI)—where the cultivation of a plural religious space is pursued as an Islamic, rather than a secular, virtue. The study highlights the discourse, spatiality, and praxis of the Friday prayers at IMI, revealing a distinctive non-hierarchical symbolic spatiality, plural congregational practices, shared ritual leadership, and interactive sermons cultivating diversity in congregants’ ethical self-formation. Drawing on these ethnographic experiences, the paper advocates for an expansion of Talal Asad’s concept of the discursive tradition of Islam by proposing a greater emphasis on ‘non-established’ practices, such as IMI’s gender-expansive Friday prayers. Additionally, by questioning the primacy given to reason and argumentation referring to the foundational Islamic texts in Asad’s approach, it highlights how embodied, affective, and phenomenological experiences play a defining role in Islamic discursive traditions. Inclusive Muslims offer an expanded purpose of power within the Islamic discursive tradition, moving away from conceptions of Islamic authority linked with ‘orthodoxy’ to ones demonstrating, what Shahab Ahmed calls, the ‘explorative’ mode of authority. Consequently, the study of non-normative, inclusive Muslim communities, exemplified by the IMI, offers insights into alternative Islamic practices and discourses and challenges conventional anthropological definitions of Islam as a discursive tradition.
Häusliche Gewalterfahrungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen: Implikationen für das Bedrohungsmanagement
Authors: Beyli May , Habermeyer Elmar , Schmidt Catharina 
Published: January 2025

Zusammenfassung
Häusliche Gewalt verursacht nicht nur unermessliches Leid bei den Betroffenen, sondern stellt auch ein gesellschaftspolitisches Problem dar, weil sie im weitesten Sinne Gegengewalt erzeugt. Kinder und Jugendliche, die von elterlicher Paargewalt betroffen sind, haben nicht nur ein höheres Risiko, selbst Opfer von Gewalt zu werden, sondern auch ein höheres Risiko, sich gewalttätig zu verhalten. Die Folgen sind manchmal noch Jahre später zu spüren. Um diesen Teufelskreis zu durchbrechen, ist Gewaltprävention auf den verschiedensten Ebenen notwendig. Dazu müssen alle am Fall beteiligten Fachkräfte zusammenstehen und für die Formen, Auswirkungen und Folgen von häuslicher Gewalt sensibilisiert werden. Der Beitrag des Bedrohungsmanagements besteht u. a. darin, die Fachkräfte bei der Risikoeinschätzung zu unterstützen und Wissen zu vermitteln.

Abstract

Purpose
This feasibility study estimated accrual, retention, adherence, and summarized preliminary efficacy data from a stepped-care telehealth intervention for cancer survivors with moderate or severe levels of anxiety and/or depressive symptoms.

Methods
Participants were randomized to intervention or enhanced usual care (stratified by symptom severity). In the intervention group, those with moderate symptoms received a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) workbook/6 bi-weekly check-in calls (low intensity) and severe symptoms received the workbook/12 weekly therapy sessions (high intensity). Depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, quality of life (QOL), fear of recurrence, and cancer-related distress were assessed pre- and post-intervention.

Results
Participants (N = 68; ages 36–82; 88% White) were randomized to telehealth (n = 34) or enhanced usual care (EUC, n = 34), stratified by symptoms (moderate, n = 38; severe, n = 30). Accrual was 1.8/month with 88% retention and > 75% adherence. For those with moderate symptoms, the low-intensity intervention was associated with better cancer-related distress post-intervention but worse fatigue, insomnia, and physical QOL and and minimal differences for anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence, and mental QOL compared with EUC using clinically meaningful values to assess differences. For those with severe symptoms, the high-intensity intervention was associated with better fatigue, fear of recurrence, cancer-related distress, and physical/mental QOL.

Conclusions
Accrual to a stepped-care telehealth intervention for distressed cancer survivors was lower than expected, but retention and adherence were strong. Data suggest potential impact of the high-intensity intervention.

Implications for Cancer Survivors
A telephone-based CBT intervention where cancer survivors worked with a therapist yielded improvements in fatigue, fear of recurrence, distress, and quality of life.
Populist attitudes related to science and politics: prevalence and exploratory factors of populist attitudes in Slovakia
Authors: Piterová Ivana , Loziak Alexander 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Science-related populism has recently emerged alongside political populism. However, its occurrence, connections with political populist attitudes, and underlying factors have not been explored in the Central-European context. This study seeks to achieve three key objectives: (1) examine the relationships among science-related populist attitudes, their subdimensions, and political populist attitudes; (2) assess the prevalence of populist attitudes; and (3) analyze a set of explanatory and exploratory factors contributing to political and science-related populist attitudes. Drawing from a national sample of 643 Slovaks, our study highlights the importance of addressing science-related populism in parallel with political populism. It elucidates the intricate interplay between these attitudes, with political populism being more prevalent in the Slovak population, albeit intertwined with science-related populism. Several contributing factors, such as education, political orientation, religiosity, trust in science, relative deprivation, faith in intuition, and susceptibility to pseudoscientific beliefs, were identified. These factors offer valuable insights into the emergence of populist attitudes in Slovakia. The findings from this study hold significance for further research aimed at comprehending and addressing the phenomenon of science-related populism within the Central-European context.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Historically, Friedreich’s Ataxia (FRDA) has been linked to a relatively preserved cerebellar cortex. Recent advances in neuroimaging have revealed altered cerebello-cerebral functional connectivity (FC), but the extent of intra-cerebellar FC changes and their impact on cognition remains unclear. This study investigates intra-cerebellar FC alterations and their cognitive implications in FRDA. In this cross-sectional, single-center study, resting-state functional MRI data from 17 patients with FRDA (average age 27.7 ± 13.6 years; F/M = 6/11) and 20 healthy controls (HC) (average age 29.4 ± 9.7 years; F/M = 9/11), all of whom underwent neuropsychological testing, were analyzed. From functional connectivity matrices, graph measures were computed at both the network and node levels using two complementary parcellations. FRDA patients exhibited decreased global efficiency (p = 0.04), nodal degree (p = 0.001) and betweenness centrality (p = 0.04) in the vermal portion of lobule VIII, along with reduced global efficiency in cerebellar regions belonging to the Control-A network (p = 0.02), one of the three subdivisions of the Frontoparietal network. Verbal memory deficits correlated with global efficiency in both the vermal portion of lobule VIII (r = 0.53, p = 0.02) and the cerebellar regions of the Control-A network (r = 0.49, p = 0.05). Graph analysis revealed regional intra-cerebellar FC changes in FRDA, marked by reduced functional centrality in cerebellar regions of the vermis and responsible for executive functions. These changes correlated with cognitive alterations, highlighting the role of the cerebellar cortex in the cognitive impairment observed in FRDA.
Attitudes of Person at Driver’s Seat of Level 3–4 Automated Vehicle Affect Human Driver Entering Roadway
Authors: Saeki Hidehiro , Shidoji Kazunori 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In the transportation sector, traffic participants communicate to ensure smooth traffic. Although research on automated driving has been remarkable in recent years, conventional communication methods, such as eye contact, cannot be used in automated vehicles because a person sitting in the driver’s seat does not control the vehicles. Therefore, this study focuses on communication methods using an external human-machine interface (eHMI) to realize safe, secure, and comfortable transportation. We conducted an experimental study to determine how the posture of the person seated in the driver’s seat of a vehicle traveling on the mainline affects the driving maneuvers and psychological aspects of a driver attempting to enter the mainline from the parking lot of an off-road facility. The results showed that when the person sitting in the driver’s seat gazed at a smartphone, assuming the car was an automated vehicle, the driver’s subjective evaluation of the driving operation and “smoothness” of merging onto the mainline showed a reaction of hesitation in merging. This suggests that a specific and clear presentation of information by the eHMI is necessary when providing information on “intendment of give way.”
Romosozumab adverse event profile: a pharmacovigilance analysis based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from 2019 to 2023
Authors: Liu Luyu , Wu Shaobo , Wei Liangliang , Xia Zhihao , Ji Jiajia , Huang Dageng 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objective
This study aims to analyze adverse drug events (ADE) related to romosozumab from the second quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2023 from FAERS database.

Methods
The ADE data related to romosozumab from 2019 Q2 to 2023 Q3 were collected. After data normalization, four signal strength quantification algorithms were used: ROR (Reporting Odds Ratios), PRR (Proportional Reporting Ratios), BCPNN (Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network), and EBGM (Empirical Bayesian Geometric Mean).

Results
Screening for romosozumab-related AEs (adverse events) included 23 system organ categories (SOCs). PT (preferred terms) levels were screened for adverse drug reaction (ADR) signals. A total of 7055 reports with romosozumab as the primary suspect (PS) and 14,041 PTs induced by romosozumab as PS were identified. Common significant signals of general disorders and administration site conditions, musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders have emerged. Specifically, unexpected AEs such as gastrointestinal disorder, respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders also occur. Notably, fracture (n = 503, ROR = 107.8, PRR = 103.83, IC = 6.6, EBGM = 97.02) and bone density abnormal (n = 429, ROR = 343.65, PRR = 332.77, IC = 8.08, EBGM = 271.34) exhibited relatively high occurrence rates and signal strengths.

Conclusion
Our study identifies potential new AE signals and provides broader data support for the safety of romosozumab. In clinical application, doctors are provided with a warning to closely monitor adverse reactions to support their rational use in diseases such as osteoporosis.
Artificial intelligence and criminal justice: How to use algorithmic sentencing support in real life (and ethically non-ideal) penal systems?
Authors: Ryberg Jesper 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The use of artificial intelligence as an instrument to assist judges in determining sentences in criminal cases is attracting increasing theoretical attention. While many theorists have argued that there may be important advantages to introducing algorithmic sentencing support in criminal cases, almost no one has considered how such systems should actually be implemented. The purpose of this chapter is to fill this void. First, it is argued that current penal practice is non-ideal in the sense that it is dominated by overpunishment of offenders (the overpunishment assumption), and that algorithmic sentencing support systems are unlikely to be introduced in a way that appears to disturb the existing penal order (the preservation assumption). Second, a model called the “Restricted Application Model” is presented for how such algorithms might be used by judges within a framework characterized by the two outlined assumptions. Third, three objections to the model are considered and ultimately rejected. Thus, the model serves as a first attempt at outlining a procedure for the use of sentencing advisory systems by judges within real-life, and ethically non-ideal, penal systems.
Ecosystem carbon storage, allocation and carbon credit values of major forest types in the central Himalaya
Authors: Joshi Rajendra Kumar , Garkoti Satish Chandra 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Himalayan forests are crucial global carbon reservoirs that contribute significantly to carbon mitigation efforts. Although situated within a single climatic zone, Himalayan forests include diverse forest types within a short distance due to variations in altitude, mountain range, slope, and aspect. This study aimed to estimate ecosystem carbon storage (including plant biomass, deadwood, litter, and soil organic carbon [SOC]) and allocation and to evaluate carbon sequestration and carbon credit potential in chir-pine plants (Pinus roxburghii Sarg.), deodar (Cedrus deodara [Roxb.] G. Don), oak (Quercus leucotrichophora A. Camus), and sal (Shorea robusta [Roth]) forests in the central Himalaya. Volumetric equations were utilized across diverse tree species and supplemented by field sampling, particularly by employing the quadrat method to quantify tree biomass. The carbon stocks within ecosystems varied considerably, ranging between 122.44 and 306.44 Mg C ha−1, with discernible differences among forest types, with oak forests exhibiting the highest carbon stock, followed by deodar and sal forests, and pine forests showing the lowest. The allocation of ecosystem carbon stocks among the different components, including trees (21%–34%), soil (64%–77%), deadwood (0.9%–0.35%), and litter (0.46%–1.20%), demonstrated significant variability. The Mantel test revealed the significant influence of environmental factors on carbon storage. Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration ranged from 448.98 (pine forest) to 1123.16 (oak forest) Mg CO2 ha−1, while carbon credit values ranged from 1346.96 EUR ha−1 (pine forests) to 3379.49 EUR ha−1 (oak forest). In this study, dominant trees in various forest types contributed to higher carbon storage in their biomass and forest soil, resulting in greater carbon credits. The present research evaluated ecosystem carbon storage, CO2 sequestration potential, and carbon credit valuation for major forests in the central Himalaya. By incorporating these findings into forest management plans and strategies, the carbon sequestration potential and carbon trading of the central Himalayan forest ecosystem in India can be enhanced.
A Pleistocene hyenid trackway from the Cape south coast of South Africa

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe global record of fossil hyenid tracks is sparse—the only formal reports that can be considered reliable are of trackways from Tanzania and a single track from Greece. However, trackway and track patterns of the four extant members of the Hyaenidae are distinctive among the tracks of carnivorans. A Pleistocene trackway comprising five manus–pes pairs has been identified on an aeolianite surface on the Cape south coast of South Africa, and is attributed to a hyena, most likely the brown hyena (Parahyaena brunnea). The diagnostic approach followed involves a combination of the knowledge of Indigenous Master Trackers and the methods of modern ichnology.
Molecular mechanisms of the GABA type A receptor function
Authors: Michałowski Michał A. , Kłopotowski Karol , Wiera Grzegorz , Czyżewska Marta M. , Mozrzymas Jerzy W. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The GABA type A receptor (GABAAR) belongs to the family of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels and plays a key role in inhibition in adult mammalian brains. Dysfunction of this macromolecule may lead to epilepsy, anxiety disorders, autism, depression, and schizophrenia. GABAAR is also a target for multiple physiologically and clinically relevant modulators, such as benzodiazepines (BDZs), general anesthetics, and neurosteroids. The first GABAAR structure appeared in 2014, but the past years have brought a particularly abundant surge in structural data for these receptors with various ligands and modulators. Although the open conformation remains elusive, this novel information has pushed the structure–function studies to an unprecedented level. Electrophysiology, mutagenesis, photolabeling, and in silico simulations, guided by novel structural information, shed new light on the molecular mechanisms of receptor functioning. The main goal of this review is to present the current knowledge of GABAAR functional and structural properties. The review begins with an outline of the functional and structural studies of GABAAR, accompanied by some methodological considerations, especially biophysical methods, enabling the reader to follow how major breakthroughs in characterizing GABAAR features have been achieved. The main section provides a comprehensive analysis of the functional significance of specific structural elements in GABAARs. We additionally summarize the current knowledge on the binding sites for major GABAAR modulators, referring to the molecular underpinnings of their action. The final chapter of the review moves beyond examining GABAAR as an isolated macromolecule and describes the interactions of the receptor with other proteins in a broader context of inhibitory plasticity. In the final section, we propose a general conclusion that agonist binding to the orthosteric binding sites appears to rely on local interactions, whereas conformational transitions of bound macromolecule (gating) and allosteric modulation seem to reflect more global phenomena involving vast portions of the macromolecule.
Are we jingling modern hunter-gatherers and early Homo sapiens?
Authors: Protzko John 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Using modern hunter-gatherers to infer about early Homo sapiens only works if at least (a) modern hunter-gatherers represent an unbiased sample of humanity, and (b) modern hunter-gatherers act in ways similar to the behavior of early Homo sapiens. Both of these are false, leading to the problem of whether we can draw conclusions about early Homo sapiens from modern hunter-gatherers.
Indonesian Tourism Workers on Volcanoes and Geotourism's Colonial Origins: Making a Subaltern History Visible
Authors: Protschky Susie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Indonesia's volcanoes are places of recreation, aesthetic production, and scientific knowledge-gathering, as well as sites of pilgrimage, spirituality, and natural disasters for locals as well as international travellers. In this article, I focus on volcanoes as historic sites of labour to demonstrate the entanglement of colonial tourism and science with local forms of work and knowledge, and to reveal the origins of the porting and guiding work that takes place on Indonesia's volcanoes to this day. Using Tina Campt's method of “listening to images,” I show how colonial photographs, albeit partial sources, make modes of subaltern labour visible that written sources routinely minimised, restoring porters, guides, and what I call “camp domestics” to histories of service, science and geotourism in Indonesia. Recognising the homosocial setting of the colonial scientific expedition and the peculiar physical challenges of the volcano environment, I also examine the negotiation of Indonesian and European masculinities and their intersection with class and racial hierarchies on the volcano. The article thus reflects on how Javanese workers’ spatial and social mobility entailed the negotiation of opportunity as well as exploitation on tour.
To Keep the Land Populated. Localising Empire and Constructing Locality, in the Sixteenth-Century Charcas Frontier
Authors: Graña Taborelli Mario 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The present article studies the foundation of San Juan de la Frontera de Paspaya in the jurisdiction of the Real Audiencia de Charcas in the second half of the sixteenth century, framing the event as part of the wider process of incorporation of new geographies into the Spanish monarchy. The documentation analysed describes the complex negotiations among various agents organised around networks of patronage and hierarchies, including Spanish frontier captains and their men as well as the Andean indigenous communities of San Lucas de Payacollo and the Guaraní-speaking Chiriguanaes. The article provides some insights into the manner in which frontier spaces of the Catholic monarchy were politically constructed and equipped with relations and institutions in the late sixteenth century.

Abstract
Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is a prevalent malignancy that afflicts the head and neck area and presents a high incidence of metastasis and invasion. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are essential for enhancing the quality of life and the survival rates of TSCC patients. The current treatment modalities for TSCC frequently suffer from a lack of specificity and efficacy. Nanoparticles with diagnostic and photothermal therapeutic properties may offer a new approach for the targeted therapy of TSCC. However, inadequate accumulation of photosensitizers at the tumor site diminishes the efficacy of photothermal therapy (PTT). This study modified gold nanodots (AuNDs) with the TSCC-targeting peptide HN-1 to improve the selectivity and therapeutic effects of PTT. The Au-HN-1 nanosystem effectively targeted the TSCC cells and was rapidly delivered to the tumor tissues compared to the AuNDs. The enhanced accumulation of photosensitizing agents at tumor sites achieved significant PTT effects in a mouse model of TSCC. Moreover, owing to its stable long-term fluorescence and high X-ray attenuation coefficient, the Au-HN-1 nanosystem can be used for fluorescence and computed tomography imaging of TSCC, rendering it useful for early tumor detection and accurate delineation of surgical margins. In conclusion, Au-HN-1 represents a promising nanomedicine for imaging-based diagnosis and targeted PTT of TSCC.
