Texts as events – or how to account for descriptions as intervention
Authors: Olander Sissel 
Published: February 2023

From the introduction:
In this article I problematize how texts are sometimes cast as potent interventionists in cultural-analytical and constructivist social research. I engage with two different articles, which discuss texts as interventions. One is an article by Signe Vikkelsø titled: “Description as Intervention - Engagement and Resistance in Actor-Network Analyses” (2007). The other is an article by Brit Winthereik and Helen Verran titled “Ethnographic stories as Generalisations that Intervene” (2012). In both articles the authors propose strategies for writing up accounts. The purpose of these proposed strategies is to induce the text with certain qualities, in order to enhance the interventionist powers of the texts. I will inspect these strategies as particular research set-ups, and challenge how the process of writing up the analysis and account is continually conflated with claims about how the text will intervene in some more or less specified future. I do so by exploring descriptions and texts as events, and by inspecting the proposed research strategies as if they were in fact experimental research set-ups. To this end I draw on prevailing ideas about the relation between program and experiment in constructive design research, and on the work of philosopher of science Hans-Jörg Rheinberger.

Peritoneal dialysis outcomes in a tertiary-level state hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa: Ethnicity and HIV co-infection do not increase risk of peritonitis or discontinuation
Authors: Sunnyraj M M , Davies M , Cassimjee Z 
Published: February 2023

Background. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a valuable means to increase access to kidney replacement therapy in South Africa (SA). An increased rate of modality discontinuation related to an increased risk of peritonitis in patients of black African ethnicity, in those with diabetes and in those living with HIV has previously been suggested, which may lead to hesitancy in adoption of ‘PD first’ programmes. Objectives. To analyse the safety of a PD-first programme in terms of 5-year peritonitis risk and patient and modality survival at the outpatient PD unit at Helen Joseph Hospital, Johannesburg.
Methods. After exclusions, clinical data from 120 patients were extracted for analysis. The effects of patient age at PD initiation, ethnicity, gender, diabetes mellitus and HIV infection on patient and modality survival and peritonitis risk were analysed using Cox proportional hazards modelling and logistic regression analysis. Five-year technique and patient Kaplan-Meier survival curves for peritonitis and comorbidity groups were compared using the Cox-Mantel test. The Mann-Whitney U-test and Fisher’s exact test were used to compare continuous and categorical variables where appropriate.
Results. Five-year patient survival was 49.9%. Black African ethnicity was associated with reduced mortality hazard (hazard ratio (HR) 0.33; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15 - 0.71; p=0.004), and patients with diabetes had poorer 5-year survival (19.1%; p=0.097). Modality survival at 5 years was 48.1%. Neither Black African ethnicity nor HIV infection increased the risk of PD discontinuation. Peritonitis was associated with increased modality failure (HR 2.99; 95% CI 1.31 - 6.87; p=0.009). Black African ethnicity did not increase the risk of peritonitis. HIV was not independently associated with an increased risk of peritonitis. Patient and PD survival were generally similar to other contemporaneous cohorts, and the peritonitis rate in this study was within the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis acceptable range.
Conclusion. PD is a safe and appropriate therapy in a low socioeconomic setting with a high prevalence of HIV infection. Consideration of home circumstances and training in sterile technique reduce peritonitis risk and improve PD modality survival. Patients with diabetes may be at risk of poorer outcomes on PD.
Player vs. Monster
Authors: Švelch Jaroslav 
Published: February 2023

A study of the gruesome game characters we love to beat—and what they tell us about ourselves.
Since the early days of video games, monsters have played pivotal roles as dangers to be avoided, level bosses to be defeated, or targets to be destroyed for extra points. But why is the figure of the monster so important in gaming, and how have video games come to shape our culture's conceptions of monstrosity? To answer these questions, Player vs. Monster explores the past half-century of monsters in games, from the dragons of early tabletop role-playing games and the pixelated aliens of Space Invaders to the malformed mutants of The Last of Us and the bizarre beasts of Bloodborne, and reveals the common threads among them.
Covering examples from aliens to zombies, Jaroslav Švelch explores the art of monster design and traces its influences from mythology, visual arts, popular culture, and tabletop role-playing games. At the same time, he shows that video games follow the Cold War–era notion of clearly defined, calculable enemies, portraying monsters as figures that are irredeemably evil yet invariably vulnerable to defeat. He explains the appeal of such simplistic video game monsters, but also explores how the medium could evolve to present more nuanced depictions of monstrosity.
Klikać czy czytać? Pragmatyczna funkcja clickbaitów
Authors: Nowakowska Głuszak Anna 
Published: February 2023

Internet nie tylko zmienia język i sposób komunikowania się ludzi, ale również daje przestrzeń do powstawania nowych form i gatunków tekstowych. Ich rozwój determinują zwykle czynniki, które do tej pory, w tradycyjnej komunikacji ustnej czy pisemnej, miały (jeśli w ogóle) znaczenie drugo czy trzeciorzędne. W konsekwencji, analiza szeroko rozumianej komunikacji w Internecie, zwłaszcza na poziomie pragmatycznym, wymaga od językoznawcy podejścia interdyscyplinarnego, uwzględniającego wiedzę językową, psychologiczną i technologiczną. Pokazuje to doskonale przykład clikbaitów, czyli odnośników internetowych, których zadaniem jest przyciągnięcie uwagi odbiorcy i nakłonienie go do kliknięcia w hiperłącze. W niniejszym artykule staramy się opisać i wyjaśnić strategie komunikacyjne stosowane w clikbaitach, przyjmując jako punkt wyjścia badania z zakresu UX designu, głównie na temat nowego sposobu czytania na ekranie (tzw. F-shapped pattern) oraz psychologiczną koncepcję luki ciekawości (Loewenstein, 1994). Omawiamy również zjawisko tabloidyzacji mediów internetowych oraz rosnący wpływ clikbaitów na prezentowane w nich treści.
Observations on the display flights of male Brown Songlarks (Cincloramphus cruralis Vigors and Horsfield 1827) before and after the application of fenitrothion, an organophosphorous pesticide for locust control, in a semi-arid grassland in south-western New South Wales and suggestions for further research

ABSTRACT
Exposure of songbirds to organophosphorous pesticides has been shown to affect a range of behavioural characteristics including singing, displaying and flying that consequently can have significant impacts on the viability of free-living individuals and populations. In the current study, display flights of male Brown Songlarks (Cincloramphus cruralis Vigors and Horsfield 1827) before and after the application of fenitrothion (O,O-dimethyl-O-[3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl]-phosphorothioate) during locust spray operations around Conargo, south western New South Wales, were monitored incidentally for number, duration and the presence of song during flight. The duration of display flights undertaken by male C. cruralis showed a statistically significant increase after exposure to fenitrothion (t0.05, 398 = 1.97; p = 0.0085, analysed using log10 transformed flight duration data), despite the mean number of flights undertaken decreasing from 5.7 pre-spray to 4.7 post-spray during 10 min survey periods. The proportion of display flights in which the male was calling, however, did not differ between pesticide-exposed and unexposed male C. cruralis (χ2(0.05, 1) = 0.323; p = 0.570). To better understand the impacts of pesticide exposure on C. cruralis behaviour and ecology, the observations presented here require further study and validation with the addition of other variables such as territory mapping, assessment of reproductive success and the quantification of enzymatic biomarkers indicative of exposure to organophosphorous insecticides, undertaken concomitantly.

The present study has attempted a detailed analysis of papaya fruit by studying its value chain map, establishment cost, cost and returns were important researchable issue for the said crop in kalaburagi district in Karnataka State. The findings reveal that, in value chain, farmers, pre-contactors, distributors, wholesalers and retailers will perform muti-task function in the system. Each of these stakeholders appends value during the movement of produce from one person to other in the consumption pattern system. The findings related to cost and returns, the year-wise analysis indicated that in the first year, the total cost for establishment was found to be Rs. 85225 in Papaya plantation followed by second year Rs.65432. The average of two years will be to the tune of Rs.65432 per acre. The per acre establishment cost accounted to Rs. 85225 of which the material cost constituted 78.37 percent to the total cost of establishment followed by human labour (19.64 per cent). The per acre cost of cultivation of Papaya was worked out to be Rs.65432, out of which the total variable cost share was Rs.45643 (69.75 percent) and total fixed cost was found to be Rs.19789 (30.25 per cent) to the total cost. total average cost for two years incurred in cultivation was found to be Rs.105328 and farmers obtain average net income of Rs.218247 per acre and the findings also revealed that the farmers the return on per rupee invested at total cost amounted to Rs.2.26 and 1.90 during first and second year respectively.

ImportanceGestational diabetes (GD) affects up to 10% of pregnancies and increases lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes 10-fold; postpartum diabetes evaluation and primary care follow-up are critical in preventing and detecting type 2 diabetes. Despite clinical guidelines recommending universal follow-up, little remains known about how often individuals with GD access primary care and type 2 diabetes screening.ObjectiveTo describe patterns of primary care follow-up and diabetes-related care among individuals with and without GD in the first year post partum.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study used a private insurance claims database to compare follow-up in the first year post partum between individuals with GD, type 2 diabetes, and no diabetes diagnosis. Participants included postpartum individuals aged 15 to 51 years who delivered between 2015 and 2018 and had continuous enrollment from 180 days before to 366 days after the delivery date. Data were analyzed September through October 2021 and reanalyzed November 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPrimary care follow-up visits and diabetes-related care (blood glucose testing and diabetes-associated visit diagnoses) were determined by evaluation and management, Current Procedural Terminology, and International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision codes, respectively.ResultsA total of 280 131 individuals were identified between 2015 and 2018 (mean age: 31 years; 95% CI, 27-34 years); 12 242 (4.4%) had preexisting type 2 diabetes and 18 432 (6.6%) had GD. A total of 50.9% (95% CI, 49.9%-52.0%) of individuals with GD had primary care follow-up, compared with 67.2% (95% CI, 66.2%-68.2%) of individuals with preexisting type 2 diabetes. A total of 36.2% (95% CI, 35.1%-37.4%) of individuals with GD had diabetes-related care compared with 56.9% (95% CI, 55.7%-58.0%) of individuals with preexisting diabetes. Only 36.0% (95% CI, 34.4%-37.6%) of individuals with GD connected with primary care received clinical guideline concordant care with blood glucose testing 12 weeks post partum.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study of postpartum individuals, individuals with GD had lower rates of primary care and diabetes-related care compared with those with preexisting type 2 diabetes, and only 36% of those with GD received guideline-recommended blood glucose testing in the first 12 weeks post partum. This illustrates a missed opportunity for early intervention in diabetes surveillance and prevention and demonstrates the need to develop a multidisciplinary approach for postpartum follow-up.

ImportanceAlthough multiple modifiable risk factors have been identified for reduced fecundability (defined as lower probability of conception within a menstrual cycle), no scoring system has been established to systematically evaluate fecundability among females who are attempting to conceive.ObjectiveTo examine the association of a risk score based on 6 modifiable factors with fecundability, and to estimate the percentage reduction in incidence of nonconception if all study participants achieved a minimal risk score level.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis population-based cohort study obtained data from the S-PRESTO (Singapore Preconception Study of Long-Term Maternal and Child Outcomes) prospective cohort study. Females of reproductive age who were trying to conceive were enrolled from February 2015 to October 2017 and followed for 1 year, ending in November 2018. Data were analyzed from March to May 2022.ExposuresA reduced fecundability risk score was derived by giving participants 1 point for each of the following factors: unhealthy body mass index, unhealthy diet, smoking, alcohol intake, folic acid supplement nonuser, and older maternal age. Total scores ranged from 0 to 6 and were classified into 5 levels: level 1 (score of 0 or 1), level 2 (score of 2), level 3 (score of 3), level 4 (score of 4), and level 5 (score of 5 or 6).Main Outcomes and MeasuresFecundability, measured by time to conception in cycles, was analyzed using discrete-time proportional hazards models with confounder adjustment.ResultsA total of 937 females (mean [SD] age, 30.8 [3.8] years) were included, among whom 401 (42.8%) spontaneously conceived within 1 year of attempting conception; the median (IQR) number of cycles before conception was 4 (2-7). Compared with participants with a level 1 risk score, those with level 2, 3, 4, and 5 risk scores had reductions in fecundability of 31% (adjusted fecundability ratio [FR], 0.69; 95% CI, 0.54-0.88), 41% (FR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.45-0.78), 54% (FR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.31-0.69) and 77% (FR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.07-0.73), respectively. Assessment of the population attributable fraction showed that all participants achieving a minimal (level 1) risk level would be associated with a reduction of 34% (95% CI, 30%-39%) in nonconception within a year.Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this study revealed the co-occurrence of multiple modifiable risk factors for lowered fecundability and a substantially higher conception rate among participants with no or minimal risk factors. The risk assessment scoring system proposed is a simple and potentially useful public health tool for mitigating risks and guiding those who are trying to conceive.

AbstractOn‐demand drug delivery systems (DDSs) have tremendous promise for clinical in vivo personalized drug delivery. However, the current DDSs are monofunctional and unable to meet the individualized needs of patients. Herein, a biodegradable multifunctional active‐controlled drug delivery system (ADDS) is reported. The device can be implanted in various tissues with valves controlled by the deactivation of magnesium (Mg) for rapid drug release from drug reservoirs and long‐term drug delivery with the biodegradation of the ADDS. Multiple chambers are constructed by designing a structure with tandem Mg valves and aligning them in the z‐axis direction, allowing the system to deliver drugs in a pulsatile or sequential manner. The biodegradability of the entire system minimizes the potential side effects of the ADDS. The application of the device for drug delivery in rats confirmed its ability to perform pulsatile delivery in vivo. The excellent biocompatibility and dual timeline drug delivery capability of this system are demonstrated with cellular and in vitro vascular bioreactors. This multifunctional ADDS will play an important role in precise drug delivery in the treatment of chronic diseases and diseases with complications.

AbstractManual intervention in the self‐organization of soft matter to obtain a desired superstructure is a complex but significant project. Specifically, optical components made fully or partially from reconfigurable and stimuli‐responsive soft materials, referred to as soft photonics, are poised to form versatile platforms in various areas; however, a limited scale, narrow spectral adaptability, and poor stability are still formidable challenges. Herein, a facile way is developed to program the optical jigsaw puzzle of nematic liquid crystals via pixelated holographic surface reliefs, leading to an era of manufacturing for programmable soft materials with tailored functions. Multiscale jigsaw puzzles are established and endowed with unprecedented stability and durability, further sketching a prospective framework toward customized adaptive photonic architectures. This work demonstrates a reliable and efficient approach for directly assembling soft matter, unlocking the long‐sought full potential of stimuli‐responsive soft systems, and providing opportunities to inspire the next generation of soft photonics and relevant areas.
Community organizing during the COVID‐19 pandemic: How should we act when it comes to minority communities?
Authors: Nouman Hani 
Published: February 2023

AbstractMinority communities have borne a disproportionate burden of adverse health outcomes during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Notwithstanding, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding efforts to reduce health inequalities through community organizing. It is also unclear under what conditions professionals act as external assistance providers for community organizing as part of their role. Through multimethod research conducted among social workers who provide services to ultra‐Orthodox minority communities in Israel during the pandemic, this study identified that the combination of critical awareness of social justice, weakened social cohesion, and work environment expectations led professionals to assist communities in their community organizing efforts. These strategies include an intercommunity component—building trust in the community and promoting collective efficacy; an interactional component—creating multidimensional platforms that support action; and a behavioral component—increasing the involvement of communities in decision‐making spaces in public arenas. The crucial characteristic of providing assistance and support in community organizing lies in the adoption of cultural perspectives. It requires knowledge about and familiarity with the different types of communities within which the professionals operate. This vital understanding can promote critical awareness among a wide range of professionals to promote health equity at the present time when the pandemic is still ongoing.

AbstractDynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) has proven to be a valuable tool in creating fascinating molecules, structures, and emergent properties in fully synthetic systems. Here we report a system that uses two dynamic covalent bonds in tandem, namely disulfides and hydrazones, for the formation of hydrogels containing biologically relevant ligands. The reversibility of disulfide bonds allows fiber formation upon oxidation of dithiol‐peptide building block, while the reaction between NH−NH2 functionalized C‐terminus and aldehyde cross‐linkers results in a gel. The same bond‐forming reaction was exploited for the “decoration” of the supramolecular assemblies by cell‐adhesion‐promoting sequences (RGD and LDV). Fast triggered gelation, cytocompatibility and ability to “on‐demand” chemically customize fibrillar scaffold offer potential for applying these systems as a bioactive platform for cell culture and tissue engineering.

AbstractAtomically dispersed Fe was designed on TiO2and explored as a Janus electrocatalyst for both nitrogen oxidation reaction (NOR) and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) in a two‐electrode system. Pulsed electrochemical catalysis (PE) was firstly involved to inhibit the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Excitingly, an unanticipated yield of 7055.81 μmol h−1 g−1cat.and 12 868.33 μmol h−1 g−1cat.were obtained for NOR and NRR at 3.5 V, respectively, 44.94 times and 7.8 times increase in FE than the conventional constant voltage electrocatalytic method. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the single‐atom Fe could stabilize the oxygen vacancy, lower the energy barrier for the vital rupture of N≡N, and result in enhanced N2fixation performance. More importantly, PE could effectively enhance the N2supply by reducing competitive O2and H2agglomeration, inhibit the electrocatalytic by‐product formation for longstanding *OOH and *H intermediates, and promote the non‐electrocatalytic process of N2activation.
