AbstractIn this paper, we perform the dynamical system analysis of the cosmological models framed in the extended teleparallel gravity, the f(T, B) gravity. We use the mapping, $$f(T, B)\rightarrow -T+\tilde{f}(T, B)$$

, and define the dynamical variables to form the autonomous dynamical system. The critical points are obtained in two well-motivated forms of f(T, B), one that involves the logarithmic form of the boundary term B, and the other one is the non-linear form of the boundary term. The position of critical points is shown in the different evolutionary phases of the Universe such as radiation, matter, and de-Sitter phase. The stability condition of each of the critical points of both the models is derived and the behavior of each point has been obtained mathematically and through the phase portrait. The evolution of standard density parameters such as radiation ($$\Omega _{r}$$

On the renormalization of non-polynomial field theories
Authors: Santonocito Andrea , Zappalà Dario 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA class of scalar models with non-polynomial interaction, which naturally admits an analytical resummation of the series of tadpole diagrams is studied in perturbation theory. In particular, we focus on a model containing only one renormalizable coupling that appear as a multiplicative coefficient of the squared field. A renormalization group analysis of the Green functions of the model shows that these are only approximated solutions of the flow equations, with errors proportional to powers of the coupling, therefore smaller in the region of weak coupling. The final output of the perturbative analysis is that the renormalized model is non-interacting with finite mass and vanishing vertices or, in an effective theory limited by an ultraviolet cut-off, the vertices are suppressed by powers of the inverse cut-off. The relation with some non-polynomial interactions derived long ago, as solutions of the linearized functional renormalization group flow equations, is also discussed.
Quantum corrected charged thin-shell wormholes surrounded by quintessence
Authors: Javed Faisal , Waseem Arfa , Almutairi Bander 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this manuscript, we inspect the stable geometry of thin-shell wormholes in the framework of static, spherically-symmetric quantum corrected charged black hole solution bounded by quintessence. In this regard, we develop thin-shell wormholes from two equivalent copies of black hole solutions through the cut and paste approach. Then, we employ the linearized radial perturbation to discuss the stability of the developed wormhole geometry by assuming variable equations of state. We obtain the maximum stable configuration for massive black holes for both barotropic and Chaplygin variables equations of state. It is found that the quantum correction affects the stability of thin-shell wormholes and the presence of charge over the geometry of black holes enhances the stable configuration of thin-shell wormholes.
Renormalized charge and dielectric effects in colloidal interactions: a numerical solution of the nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann equation for unknown boundary conditions
Authors: Schlaich Alexander , Tyagi Sandeep , Kesselheim Stefan , Sega Marcello , Holm Christian 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory, introduced more than 70 years ago, is a hallmark of colloidal particle modeling. For highly charged particles in the dilute regime, it is often supplemented by Alexander’s prescription (Alexander et al. in J Chem Phys 80:5776, 1984) for using a renormalized charge. Here, we solve the problem of the interaction between two charged colloids at finite ionic strength, including dielectric mismatch effects, using an efficient numerical scheme to solve the nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann (NPB) equation with unknown boundary conditions. Our results perfectly match the analytical predictions for the renormalized charge by Trizac and coworkers (Aubouy et al. in J Phys A 36:5835, 2003). Moreover, they allow us to reinterpret previous molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results by Kreer et al. (Phys Rev E 74:021401, 2006), rendering them now in agreement with the expected behavior. We furthermore find that the influence of polarization becomes important only when the Debye layers overlap significantly.

Simultaneous cooling and synchronization of the mechanical and the radio-frequency resonators via voltage modulation
Authors: Wang Liang , Zhang Wei , Liu Shutian , Zhang Shou , Wang Hong-Fu 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWe explore the ground state cooling and quantum synchronization of the mechanical and low-frequency inductor-capacitor (LC) resonators in a hybrid three-mode optoelectromechanical system, in which the mechanical resonator is optically and capacitively coupled to the optical cavity and the LC circuit, respectively. We find that when the bias voltage modulation switch is incorporated into the direct current (DC) bias voltage, ground state cooling and quantum synchronization can be simultaneously achieved regardless of whether the mechanical resonator and the low-frequency LC resonator have the identical frequency. Furthermore, we elucidate the relationship between quantum synchronization and ground state cooling of the two resonators, that is, the simultaneous ground state cooling of the resonators must be accompanied by quantum synchronization. Our work may open up an alternative approach to the simultaneous ground state cooling and quantum synchronization of multiple resonators, which has fewer parametric limitations.
A non-singular early-time viscous cosmological model
Authors: Cruz Norman , González Esteban , Jovel Jose 
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we study the thermodynamical and mathematical consistencies for a non-singular early-time viscous cosmological model known as soft-Big Bang, which was previously found in [N. Cruz, E. González and J. Jovel, Phys. Rev. D 105, 024047 (2022)]. This model represents a flat homogeneous and isotropic universe filled with a dissipative radiation fluid and a cosmological constant [Formula: see text], which is small but not negligible, in the framework of Eckart’s theory. In particular, we discuss the capability of the solution in the fulfillment of the three following conditions: (i) the near equilibrium condition, which is assumed in Eckart’s theory of non-perfect fluids, (ii) the mathematical stability of the solution under small perturbations, and (iii) the positiveness of the entropy production. We have found that this viscous model can describe the radiation domination era of the [Formula: see text]CDM model and, at the same time, fulfill the three conditions mentioned by the fulfillment of a single constraint on the bulk viscous coefficient [Formula: see text], finding also that this non-singular model has a positive energy density in the infinity past which is infinity hotter with a constant entropy.
Benchmarks for Automated Commonsense Reasoning: A Survey
Authors: Davis Ernest 
Published: September 2023

More than one hundred benchmarks have been developed to test the commonsense knowledge and commonsense reasoning abilities of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. However, these benchmarks are often flawed, and many aspects of common sense remain untested. Consequently, there is currently no reliable way of measuring to what extent existing AI systems have achieved these abilities.This article surveys the development and uses of AI commonsense benchmarks. It enumerates 139 commonsense benchmarks that have been developed: 102 text-based, 18 image-based, 12 video-based, and 7 based in simulated physical environments. It gives more detailed descriptions of twelve of these, three from each category. It surveys the various methods used to construct commonsense benchmarks. It discusses the nature of common sense, the role of common sense in AI, the goals served by constructing commonsense benchmarks, desirable features of commonsense benchmarks, and flaws and gap in existing benchmarks. It concludes with a number of recommendations for future development of commonsense AI benchmarks; most importantly, that the creators of benchmarks invest the work needed to ensure that benchmark examples are consistently high quality.

Published: September 2023

Symptoms such as pain, nausea, and anxiety are common in individuals with cancer. Treatment of these issues is often challenging. Cannabis products may be helpful in reducing the severity of these symptoms. While some studies include data on the prevalence of cannabis use among patients with cancer, detailed data remain limited, and none have reported the prevalence of cannabidiol (CBD) use in this population.Adult patients with cancer attending eight clinics at a large, NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center completed a detailed, cannabis-focused questionnaire between 2021 and 2022. Eligible participants were diagnosed with invasive cancer and treated in the past 12 months. Summary statistics were calculated to describe the sample regarding cannabis use.Approximately 15% (n = 142) of consented patients (n = 934) reported current cannabis use (defined as use within the past 12 months). Among which, 75% reported cannabis use in the past week. Among current cannabis users, 39% (n = 56; 6% overall) used CBD products. Current users reported using cannabis a median of 4.5 (interquartile range: 0.6–7.0) days/week, 2.0 (1.0–3.0) times per use/day, and for 3 years (0.8–30.0). Use patterns varied by route of administration. Patients reported moderate to high relief of symptoms with cannabis use.This study is the most detailed to date in terms of cannabis measurement and provides information about the current state of cannabis use in active cancer. Future studies should include complete assessments of cannabis product use, multiple recruitment sites, and diverse patient populations.Significance:Clinicians should be aware that patients are using cannabis products and perceive symptom relief with its use.
Ipsilesional Hippocampal GABA Is Elevated and Correlates With Cognitive Impairment and Maladaptive Neurogenesis After Cortical Stroke in Mice

Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND:
Cognitive dysfunction is a frequent stroke sequela, but its pathogenesis and treatment remain unresolved. Involvement of aberrant hippocampal neurogenesis and maladaptive circuitry remodeling has been proposed, but their mechanisms are unknown. Our aim was to evaluate potential underlying molecular/cellular events implicated.

METHODS:
Stroke was induced by permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery occlusion in 2-month-old C57BL/6 male mice. Hippocampal metabolites/neurotransmitters were analyzed longitudinally by in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Cognitive function was evaluated with the contextual fear conditioning test. Microglia, astrocytes, neuroblasts, interneurons, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and c-fos were analyzed by immunofluorescence.

RESULTS:
Approximately 50% of mice exhibited progressive post–middle cerebral artery occlusion cognitive impairment. Notably, immature hippocampal neurons in the impaired group displayed more severe aberrant phenotypes than those from the nonimpaired group. Using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, significant bilateral changes in hippocampal metabolites, such as myo-inositol or N-acetylaspartic acid, were found that correlated, respectively, with numbers of glia and immature neuroblasts in the ischemic group. Importantly, some metabolites were specifically altered in the ipsilateral hippocampus suggesting its involvement in aberrant hippocampal neurogenesis and remodeling processes. Specifically, middle cerebral artery occlusion animals with higher hippocampal GABA levels displayed worse cognitive outcome. Implication of GABA in this setting was supported by the amelioration of ischemia-induced memory deficits and aberrant hippocampal neurogenesis after blocking pharmacologically GABAergic neurotransmission, an intervention which was ineffective when neurogenesis was inhibited. These data suggest that GABA exerts its detrimental effect, at least partly, by affecting morphology and integration of newborn neurons into the hippocampal circuits.

CONCLUSIONS:
Hippocampal GABAergic neurotransmission could be considered a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for poststroke cognitive impairment.
Healthcare professionals’ knowledge, confidence and attitudes in relation to psychosis care: A systematic review
Authors: Chen Jenny , El-Den Sarira , Pham Lily , O’Reilly Claire L , Collins Jack C 
Published: September 2023

Background: Psychosis is a mental disorder that, despite its low prevalence, causes high disease and economic burden. Inadequate knowledge, lack of confidence and stigmatising attitudes of healthcare professionals (HCPs) may lead to suboptimal care. Aim: To review the literature exploring HCPs’ knowledge, confidence and attitudes in relation to psychosis care. Method: A systematic search was undertaken across three databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO) using a search strategy encompassing the concepts: ‘healthcare professionals’, ‘knowledge, attitude, and confidence in care’ and ‘psychotic illnesses and symptoms’ to identify relevant records published from 1st January 2002 to 18th March 2022. Results were screened against predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria by title and abstract, followed by full text. Data were extracted into tables and synthesised narratively. Results: Initially, 7,397 studies were identified. Following two-stage screening, 24 studies were eligible for inclusion. Of these studies, 16 explored attitudes, four explored knowledge and attitudes, one explored knowledge, one explored confidence, one explored attitudes and confidence in care and one explored all three constructs. Most HCPs in the included studies demonstrated stigmatising attitudes towards people with psychosis. Furthermore, certain HCPs, including nurses and general practitioners, demonstrated low levels of knowledge, while psychiatrists, occupational therapists, psychologists and nurses had low levels of confidence in caring for people with psychosis. Conversely, positive attitudes were also observed in some HCPs resulting from having acquaintances with lived experience of psychosis. The need for additional education and training to improve HCPs’ knowledge and confidence in relation to caring for people living with psychosis was identified. Conclusions: Most attitudes identified were negative and stemmed from stigma, while some were positive due to HCPs’ compassion and familiarity with psychosis. The level of knowledge and confidence identified were mostly suboptimal, and so further research is required to develop and evaluate tailored interventions to address this gap.
Components of Valid Learning Media Assessments
Authors: McCarthy Tessa , Anderson Dawn , Emerson Robert Wall 
Published: September 2023

Introduction The learning media assessment (LMA) process is the mechanism professionals use to determine a student's optimal learning and reading media. Currently, no tool has been validated for the purpose of conducting the LMA process. Methods A Delphi approach was used whereby a panel of identified experts in the LMA process went through iterative phases recommending items to be included in the LMA process and voting on keeping, changing, or deleting items until a final list of agreed upon items was established. Results At the completion of five rounds of voting and amending items, the final list of agreed upon items included 2 general goals, 66 items, and 18 acceptable modifications to the LMA process. The items to be included in an LMA process were categorized into logistical items to be noted (9 items), LMA procedural characteristics (11 items), materials to be used (2 items), information to be gathered (20 items), student medical/visual characteristics (8 items), student reading or academic characteristics (10 items), and student technology and literacy tool use (6 items). Eighteen acceptable modifications or adjustments that could be made to assessment procedures were also agreed upon. Discussion The framework of what is critical in the LMA process, as shown in this Delphi study, can be used to assess the validity of LMA tools. Implications for Practitioners Practitioners can use the framework built by this Delphi process to evaluate the validity of LMA tools they use. Practitioners can assess the tools they use by asking if all the validated content areas are addressed, if validated procedures are being followed, and if validated accommodations are in place.

Authors: Källman Ulrika , Fallenius Melina , Bååth Carina 
Published: September 2023

Background To evaluate an innovative class I compression stocking with predetermined uniform pressure in comparison to a graduated class III compression stocking system, regarding edema reduction, interface pressure, and patient comfort. Method Twenty-five patients with chronic venous disease, were randomized: 12 to investigational stocking, 13 to comparator stocking. Data collected at baseline and after 14 days. Results Edema was significantly equal reduced to follow-up; mean −129.0 cm3 (SD 105; p = .004, Class I) and −223.7 cm3 (SD 120; p = .002, Class III), respectively. The investigational stocking lost significantly less compression pressure than the comparator stocking ( p ≤ .013). Participants in both groups perceived significant improvement regarding leg heaviness, leg swelling, and feelings of tightness and tingling ( p ≤ .016). Conclusion The innovative investigational class I stocking appears to offer similar edema reduction and benefits to the comparator class III stocking. However, a larger and prolonged study is required. The study was registered in the ISRCTN-registry, ISRCTN17356077, https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN17356077 .

Published: September 2023

Based on the dualistic model of passion, we conducted person-centered analyses to assess how harmonious and obsessive passion for work combine within distinct profiles of employees and document the associations between these profiles and theoretically relevant predictors and outcomes. We also investigate whether the nature of these profiles, and their associations with predictors and outcomes, differs between samples of Australian Indigenous ( N = 591; 66.0% female, Mage = 41.87) and non-Indigenous ( N = 605; 56.0% female, Mage = 44.79) employees. Our results uncovered four profiles, which were replicated across both samples of employees: Harmonious Passion Dominant, Obsessive Passion Dominant, Mixed Passion-Obsessive Passion Dominant, and Low Passion. Role ambiguity and job overload were found to be related to employees’ likelihood of profile membership in a way that was similar across both samples. Finally, psychological well-being and resilience at work differed as a function of profile membership in a way that was replicated across samples. In addition to the theoretical implications for research on work passion, these results clearly highlight how work passion has highly similar implications for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian employees.

Biochemical markers of iron status and iron accumulation in peritoneal dialysis patients treated with ferric citrate
Authors: Navarrete José E , Ajiboye Oyintayo , Lea Janice I 
Published: September 2023

Background: Hyperphosphataemia is a common complication of kidney disease. Current dialysis techniques do not provide enough phosphorus clearance, hence the need to use phosphorus binders. Treatment options include calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, lanthanum carbonate, sevelamer hydrochloride and iron-based binders. Patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) with sustained elevated ferritin levels exceeding 800 ng/mL are at a higher risk of death. We identify PD patients treated with iron-based binders and compare ferritin and risk of iron accumulation to patients treated with non-iron-based binders. Methods: All records of patients receiving PD at Emory dialysis centres until 30 October 2021 were reviewed for phosphorus binders. Basic demographics and laboratory data were time-referenced to the days on treatment with a particular binder. Patients were followed until discontinuation of the phosphorus binder, death, transplant, transfer to another dialysis provider or censoring at 36 months after medication was started. Results: Compared to calcium acetate and sevelamer, ferric citrate utilisation in PD patients resulted in a sustained increase in ferritin. The proportion of patients with a ferritin equal to or greater than 800 ng/dL and transferrin saturation greater than 40% increased over time in patients treated with ferric citrate and was higher during the second and third year of follow-up compared to baseline values and to patients treated with calcium acetate or sevelamer. Two patients (7%) treated with ferric citrate developed clinically significant haemosiderosis. Conclusions: Use of ferric citrated in PD resulted in significant iron accumulation as judged by ferritin levels.
