On Chainsaws and Acoustic Violence: Sound and Deforestation in Ajusco-Chichinautzin, Mexico
Authors: Green Andrew 
Published: February 2025

This article explores distinct practices of sounding and listening that have emerged in a context of severe deforestation in Ajusco-Chichinautzin, a region south of Mexico City. It applies the concept of acoustic violence to this setting, as part of wider attempts to build constructive responses to climate breakdown through sound and music scholarship. As the first indication of occurring logging, the sound of chainsaws proves vital in attempts by forest guards and police to detect and halt deforestation. Equally, attentiveness to acoustic violence allows us to cut through sensationalist media presentations of the problem of deforestation, to perceive how local populations—often blamed for complicity with loggers—are in fact direct victims of environmental loss. The concept of acoustic violence can also illuminate how, in a context not just of environmental loss but of dispossession, modalities of listening may become simplified, instrumentalized, or lost.
RESUMEN
Este artículo explora distintas prácticas de sonar y escuchar que han surgido en un contexto de severa deforestación en Ajusco-Chichinautzin, una región al sur de la Ciudad de México. Aplica el concepto de violencia acústica a este contexto, como parte de intentos más amplios de construir respuestas constructivas al colapso climático a través de la investigación sonora y musical. Como primer indicio de la tala en curso, el sonido de las motosierras resulta vital en los intentos de los guardabosques y la policía por detectar y detener la deforestación. De igual modo, prestar atención a la violencia acústica nos permite trascender las presentaciones sensacionalistas de los medios de comunicación sobre el problema de la deforestación y percibir cómo las poblaciones locales, a menudo culpadas de complicidad con los taladores, son de hecho víctimas directas de la pérdida ambiental. El concepto de violencia acústica también puede iluminar cómo, en un contexto no sólo de pérdida ambiental sino de despojo, las modalidades de escucha pueden simplificarse, instrumentalizarse o perderse.
Religious Afterlives of a Revolution
Authors: Mittermaier Amira 
Published: February 2025

When do revolutions end? How do revolutions live on in embodied affects, relationships, and horizons of aspiration? This article describes the remaking of religion among upper-middle-class Egyptians who participated in the 2011 uprising. It traces a widespread turn to Sufism, yoga, and meditation, along with the search for a personal connection to God. My interlocutors’ spiritual bricolage could easily be read as an effect of political defeat, neoliberal self-care, or part of a global trend of declaring oneself “spiritual-but-not-religious.” Yet such contextualizing moves fail to grasp the sense of newness, surprise, and experimentation that pervades my interlocutors’ narratives. I suggest that the revolution’s indeterminacy is kept alive through the ethos of experimentation. Post-revolutionary spiritual bricolage results in seemingly apolitical practices like Sufi yoga, but from these practices a revolutionary spark can re-emerge.

Abstract
In this study, we establish new generalizations and results for Simpson, midpoint, and trapezoid-type integral inequalities within the framework of multiplicative calculus. We begin by proving a new identity for multiplicatively differentiable functions. Using this identity, we then obtain a new Simpson-type inequality for multiplicatively

2-exponential ergodicity of stochastic Hamiltonian systems with α-stable Lévy noises
Authors: Bao Jianhai , Wang Jian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Based on the hypocoercivity approach due to Villani (2009), Dolbeault, Mouhot and Schmeiser (2015) established a new and simple framework to investigate directly the

L
2

{L^{2}}

-exponential convergence to the equilibrium for the solution to the kinetic Fokker–Planck equation. Nowadays, the general framework advanced by Dolbeault, Mouhot and Schmeiser (2015) is named as the DMS framework for hypocoercivity.
Subsequently, Grothaus and Stilgenbauer (2014) built a dual version of
the DMS framework in the kinetic Fokker–Planck setting. No matter what the abstract DMS framework by Dolbeault, Mouhot and Schmeiser (2015) or the dual counterpart by Grothaus and Stilgenbauer (2014), the densely defined linear operator involved is assumed to be decomposed into two parts, where one part is symmetric and the other part is anti-symmetric.
Thus, the existing DMS framework is not applicable to investigate the

L

{L^{2}}

-exponential ergodicity for stochastic Hamiltonian systems with α-stable Lévy noises, where one part of the
associated infinitesimal generators is anti-symmetric whereas the other one is not symmetric at all. In this paper, we shall develop a dual version of the
DMS framework in the fractional kinetic Fokker–Planck setup, where one part of the densely defined linear operator under consideration need not to be symmetric. As a direct application,
we explore the

-exponential ergodicity of stochastic Hamiltonian systems
with α-stable Lévy noises. The proof is also based on Poincaré inequalities for non-local stable-like Dirichlet forms and the potential theory for fractional Riesz potentials.

Abstract

Objectives
Various criteria have been examined in different studies of factors predicting success in nursing studies, and results are not always conclusive. The aim of the current study is to examine the admission criteria factors that are associated with success in master’s degree studies for NPs.

Methods
This retrospective cross-sectional study included 89 student records of nurse practitioner students specializing in either palliative care or geriatrics. The admission criteria, based on the guidelines from the Israeli Ministry of Health, were analyzed in relation to student success in the licensing exam, completion of specialty courses and clinical rotations.

Results
Significant correlations were found between academic variables, such as work experience, post-basic specialty course, years of work experience, and educational background, and degree of success at various points of the program.

Conclusions
Understanding academic and professional development factors can help educators and policymakers develop more effective strategies to enhance the performance and success of NP students in their respective fields.
Exploring the hierarchical antecedents of willingness to communicate and its relationship with utterance fluency in learning Chinese as a foreign language
Authors: Sun Peijian Paul 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Informed by the willingness to communicate (WTC) model, this study investigated the hierarchical antecedents of WTC and its relationship with utterance fluency in the context of learning Chinese as a foreign language (L2 Chinese). Data were collected from 236 L2 Chinese learners who completed a questionnaire and an L2 Chinese speech competence test. Of these participants, 94 also completed an L2 Chinese speech performance test. The results revealed that L2 Chinese WTC could be hierarchically subject to linguistic (i.e., speech competence), psychological (i.e., speaking anxiety, speaking motivation, and speaking self-efficacy), and sociocultural (i.e., attitudes toward the target language’s society, culture, and classroom instruction) factors as its high-evidence antecedents. The study also found that L2 Chinese WTC did not significantly contribute to any of the four fine-grained measures of utterance fluency (i.e., speech rate, pruned speech rate, articulation rate, and pruned articulation rate). The study concludes with pedagogical insights for teachers.

Authors: Tariq Muhammad , Shahzad Khurram , Sulehri Imran Ghaffar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the factors influencing the adoption of green libraries for environmental sustainability, to find out the impacts and challenges faced by the librarians to adopt green libraries. For the systematic literature review, the study adopted the “Preferred Reporting Items for the Systematic Review and Meta-analysis” (PRISMA) as the methodology. Different search tools and techniques to access the relevant but extensive literature for the study were applied. Taylor and Francis, Emerald, Sage, IEEE, Elsevier, Wiley, EBSCO, Scopus, and Google Scholar were used to search the required literature. Initially, 844 documents were retrieved and after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, finally, 33 papers were finalized to conduct the systemic literature review. The findings revealed that external, internal, and institutional goals, technological advancements, Green Library (GL) initiatives, and sustainable development goals (SDGs) are the major factors in adopting GL. Funding issues and the lack of technology are the major challenges faced by librarians. This study is beneficial for the administration, policymakers, LIS schools, and library professionals to gain awareness, planning, and execution to establish green libraries.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective
To summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment experience of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection combined with acute leukemia.

Methods
Ten patients with HIV infection (eight males, two females; mean age of 40 years) were diagnosed with acute leukemia. Clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.

Results
Among these ten patients, eight acute myeloid leukemia cases and two acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases were L3; three cases of M3 were positive for the promyelocytic leukemia and Vitamin A acid receptor alpha (PML/RARA) fusion genes, and four cases presented multiple chromosomal structural and numerical abnormalities. CD4+ T cell counts of the ten patients ranged from 84 to 389 cells/μL with a mean of 253.5 cells/μL. Among six patients who received chemotherapy, three cases were alive, two died of sepsis secondary to myelosuppression after chemotherapy, and one was lost to follow-up. Among four patients who did not receive chemotherapy, three died, one had M3 treatment and died with cerebral hemorrhage, and one was lost to follow-up. The maximum survival time was 74 months.

Conclusion
HIV combined with acute leukemia has a complex presentation and rapid progression, early diagnosis and timely initiation of standard chemotherapy along with active antiviral therapy can improve patient’s survival.
Effect of pore structure, mechanical performance, and operational temperature on damping behavior of thermal expandible rubber-based adhesives
Authors: Bolova Işıl , Ateş Halil , Okar Halil İbrahim , Kara Ali 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Adhesives exhibit multifaceted functionalities beyond adhesion as improving acoustic performance by reducing motion of parts, filling gaps, and facilitating homogeneous stress distribution. The expandable nature of certain adhesives allows them to absorb and dissipate energy effectively, which is beneficial in applications requiring impact resistance. The objectives of this study are acoustic performance measurement by utilizing Oberst and Frequency Response Function (FRF) methods to evaluate the damping capabilities of various rubber-based thermally expandable adhesive formulations; mechanical strength assessment by measuring the lap shear strength to determine the adhesives’ performance under different operational temperatures; pore structure analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to analyze pore morphology and to investigate its effects on acoustic performance. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis was conducted to evaluate the thermal properties of rubber adhesive formulations. Glass transition temperatures were determined for the adhesives to understand behavior of damping during the Oberst and FRF tests. Pore structures, amounts, and distribution affected damping behavior of materials directly, but these properties did not cause a reduction on lap shear separtion strength. Operating temperatures and aging conditions affect damping behavior, Young modulus, and adhesion. Salt spray aging did not have significant effect on lap shear strength of rubber adhesive formulations.
Enhanced hippopotamus optimization algorithm and artificial neural network for mechanical component design
Authors: Mehta Pranav , Sait Sadiq M. , Yildiz Betül Sultan , Yildiz Ali Riza 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Metaheuristics have evolved as a strong family of optimization algorithms capable of handling complicated real-world problems that are frequently non-linear, non-convex, and multidimensional in character. These algorithms efficiently explore and take advantage of search areas by imitating natural processes. In addition to introducing a unique modified hippopotamus optimization algorithm (MHOA) in conjunction with artificial neural networks (ANN), this research examines the most recent developments in metaheuristics. By utilizing ANN’s adaptive learning processes, MHOA improves on the original hippopotamus optimization algorithm (HOA) in terms of convergence and solution quality. The study uses MHOA to solve a number of engineering design optimization issues, such as gearbox weight reduction, robot gripper design, structural optimization, and piston lever design. When compared to more conventional algorithms, MHOA performs better in terms of accuracy, robustness, and convergence time.

Abstract
Theranostics is a technique used in precision oncology to combine focused treatments with diagnostic imaging, thereby enabling tailored cancer treatment. Using modern imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), Theranostics guarantees accurate tumor diagnosis and tailored treatment planning. Radiopharmaceuticals, such as Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted therapies, have demonstrated significant clinical enhancements in progression-free and overall survival rates relative to traditional treatments, especially in prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. Emerging technologies such as nanotheranostics and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tools are enhancing the precision and efficacy of these treatments. However, the widespread application of theranostics is impeded by tumor heterogeneity, elevated prices, and restricted accessibility. Increased research and funding are necessary to address these issues and fully actualize theranostics’ potential to revolutionize cancer detection and therapy. To highlight the above challenges, this review examines diagnostic imaging and therapy advancements, focusing on clinical applications and technologies such as nanotechnology and AI-driven methods.
Considerations when assessing urban South African children with the Developmental Test of Visual Perception 2nd edition (DTVP-2)
Authors: Smith Mariska , Visser Marieta , Van Heerden Rita , Raubenheimer Jacques 
Published: February 2025

Background: Occupational therapists in South Africa (SA) use visual perceptual measurement instruments standardised in other countries. The Developmental Test of Visual Perception 2nd edition (DTVP-2) is frequently used by OTs in SA, although its suitability is questioned regarding its use among the population of children in SA. A later version of the test (DTVP-3) has become available in 2013.
Methods: This article reports on a quantitative, descriptive investigation into the suitability of the DTVP-2 for English-speaking children aged 5 years and 6 months to 5 years and 11 months, from the City of Tshwane (COT) in SA. One hundred and thirty-four (134) children were selected from English Language of Learning and Teaching (LOLT) schools in the COT. The motor-enhanced subtests of the DTVP-2 were administered according to the prescribed method, and the motor-reduced subtests were administered with an adapted stop rule method.
Results: The findings showed that the DTVP-2 scores of the SA children varied from the American normative sample, with differences observed mostly in the visual closure, visual-motor speed and form constancy subtests. More accurate results were found in the visual closure subtests when the prescribed stop rule was excluded.
Conclusion: The DTVP-2 should be used with caution to measure children's visual perceptual skills. Alternative measurement instruments should be used or specific instruments more suitable for the South African context need to be developed by local occupational therapists.

Abstract
The devastating 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake sequence in southeastern Türkiye started with a moment magnitude (Mw) 7.8 earthquake, for which the initial rupture broke the Sakçagöz segment near Nurdağı and then jumped into a bilateral rupture along multiple segments of the Eastern Anatolian fault zone (EAFZ). This complicated rupture was followed nine hours later by an Mw 7.6 event near Ekinözü. To better understand the spatiotemporal evolution of aftershocks, site amplification, and the structural and tectonic framework of the EAFZ in this diffuse triple junction, we deployed a dense seismometer array covering both aftershock zones for nearly four months. The main Eastern Anatolian Seismic Temporary (EAST) array includes 125 nodal, 10 broadband, and 6 strong-motion seismic stations distributed around the rupture zone. An additional linear array of 73 nodal stations was also installed across the Pazarcık segment of the EAFZ and the Sakçagöz segment near the Mw 7.8 epicenter to record fault-zone waves for ∼30 days. This article shows example recordings and the EAST array geometry, preliminary research results, and the metadata related to all of the stations in this array. A deep-learning-based phase picking for one month of continuous recording yielded millions of seismic phase readings and tens of thousands of aftershock locations after phase associations. We also give examples of both local and teleseismic waveforms recorded by the nodal arrays, which can be used for subsequent high-resolution earthquake relocation, imaging of crustal structures, and fault-zone imaging.
Nonseismic Short-Duration Events Offshore Cascadia: Characteristics and Potential Origin
Authors: MacLeod Leo M. F. , Wilcock William S. D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) often record nonearthquake signals termed short-duration events (SDEs) that are typically recorded on one station with durations of ∼1 s and frequencies between 4 and 30 Hz. Their origin has been attributed to animals bumping the sensor and a variety of physical mechanisms, including the passage of methane bubbles through sediments and across the seafloor. We analyzed records from OBSs deployed on the Cascadia margin and Juan de Fuca plate for the occurrence and characteristics of SDEs. SDEs are observed on all OBSs at rates that vary by over two orders of magnitude. The rates vary significantly at any given depth but on average decrease with increasing depth. The rates are low on buried sensors. For some unburied sensors, the rates are dependent on diurnal and/or tidal cycles. Strongly diurnally dependent rates for several OBSs on the continental shelf and upper slope with more SDEs during the day, are evidence of a biological mechanism for some SDEs. The presence of SDEs on buried sensors requires a physical mechanism for others. Because the decrease of SDE rates with depth is broadly consistent with both the expected variation in benthic animal densities and the emission of methane bubbles from the seafloor, it is not possible to infer the relative importance of biological and physical mechanisms. Experiments with cameras observing the sensor could be supported by cabled observatories and would provide a means to address this issue.
