Wicked incarnations: Jesus, intra‐action, climate change
Authors: Ramler Mari E. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractTo take incarnation seriously, Creation Care Christians, such as Douglas and Jonathan Moo, focus on Jesus’ divinity in incarnation. If the divine Jesus was fully flesh, then creation must be good. And if we do not take care of it, we are sinning, they reason. Laurel C. Schneider's promiscuous view of incarnation insists on a porous flesh, one that is materially entangled with the world. This is beyond Sallie McFague's model of the world as God's body. Applying Schneider's promiscuous incarnation, Mary‐Jane Rubenstein claims that the world is God's body, and, as such, God does not transcend matter as Ernest Simmons suggests. For Catherine Keller, unknowable divine interdependence must move us to civic action. In the middle of this conversation, I offer the term wicked incarnations to make explicit the intra‐action of divinity and the world in its incarnations. To take incarnation seriously is to acknowledge incarnations as a dynamism of divine and material forces, neither of which pre‐exist their relationship. I join Keller in hoping that this moves us to care about and for the material world, its changing climate, and our intra‐active relationship with nonhuman, divine presence.
Equations to describe the amount and rate of sorption
Authors: Barrow N. J. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe partition of materials that react with soil between the solid and the solution phase, and how this changes with time, can often be described by a simple equation: S = a cb1tb2 where S is the amount sorbed, c is the solution concentration, t the time of contact, and a, b1 and b2 are parameters. However, when the range of values for sorption is large, it is apparent that both b1 and b2 increase with decreasing sorption. At low values for sorption, b1 approaches 1, and sorption plots are nearly linear. These observations are consistent with a mechanistic model in which it is postulated that the materials react with heterogenous sites. As the amount of sorption decreases, the heterogeneity of the occupied sites decreases. This is why b1 increases. Because there is heterogeneity of occupied sites, there is a range of rates for the subsequent reaction. This is why the rates are proportional to a fractional index of time. It is better to describe the effects of time this way than by using several first‐order equations.

AbstractBackgroundInfants born at extremely low birthweight (ELBW: ≤1000 g) are vulnerable to intellectual disabilities, but the factors that may distinguish between ELBW survivors with and without these impairments are not well understood. In this study, prospective associations between neonatal factors and functional outcomes in childhood and adolescence were compared in ELBW survivors with and without borderline intellectual functioning (BIF).MethodsBorderline intellectual functioning was defined by IQ < 85, assessed at 8 years. Among 146 ELBW survivors, 48 (33%) had IQ scores under 85, and 98 (67%) had scores equal to or over 85. Group differences in demographic and risk factors were assessed via t‐test, chi‐squared analysis or non‐parametric tests. Neonatal factors that differed between ELBW groups were tested for association with adaptive behaviour assessed at age 5 years, and reading and arithmetic skills assessed at ages 8 and 15 years, using hierarchical regression models.ResultsExtremely low birthweight survivors with BIF had significantly lower birthweights than ELBW survivors without BIF (790 vs. 855 g, P < 0.01) and were more likely to be born to mothers with lower socioeconomic status (SES) (78% vs. 48%, P < 0.01). These ELBW survivors also were more likely to be diagnosed with significant neurosensory impairment (NSI; 35% vs. 19%, P < 0.04), experienced more bronchopulmonary dysplasia (56% vs. 38%, P < 0.04), received more days of respiratory support (median 33 vs. 14 days, P < 0.01) and remained in hospital for longer periods (median 81 vs. 63 days, P < 0.03). Birthweight, familial SES, NSI and duration of respiratory support were significant predictors for one or more outcomes. Across groups, lower familial SES was associated with lower academic scores (Ps < 0.05), and NSI predicted lower adaptive functioning (Ps < 0.001). Other associations were moderated by group: among ELBW survivors with BIF, heavier birthweights predicted better arithmetic skills, the presence of NSI was associated with poorer arithmetic skills and more ventilation days predicted poorer reading skills.ConclusionsAt birth, ELBW survivors with BIF faced more physiological and social disadvantages and required more medical intervention than their ELBW peers without BIF. Smaller birth size, NSI burden and prolonged neonatal ventilatory support displayed gradients of risk for childhood and adolescent academic outcomes across groups. Whereas academic performance in ELBW survivors with BIF was sensitive to variation in birth size, NSI or ventilation days, ELBW survivors without BIF attained thresholds of intellectual ability that were sufficient to support higher levels of academic performance at both ages, regardless of their status on these factors. The findings are discussed in relation to Zigler's developmental theory of intellectual disability.
Centering transgender consumers in conceptualizations of marketplace marginalization and digital spaces
Authors: Hansman Beck , Drenten Jenna 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to center transgender consumers in the conceptualizations between marketplace marginalization and digital spaces. We examine transgender crowdfunding as a hashtag‐bounded digital space created by and for the transgender community–namely, the #TransCrowdFund digital space on Twitter. We draw on trans digital geographies as a novel analytical lens to focus attention on transgender consumers' unique experiences in and between digital spaces. Through qualitative hashtag mapping, we analyzed a sample of 200 Twitter profiles and accompanying tweets drawn from individuals using the #TransCrowdFund hashtag. Findings suggest transgender consumers utilize crowdfunding as a hashtag‐bounded digital space in three ways: accessing networks, narrativizing needs, and signaling identity. Within each of these functional uses, underlying tensions arise in navigating transphobic marketplace marginalization, unique to transgender consumer well‐being. Our research demonstrates the power of centering transgender consumers–both conceptually and contextually–in consumer research and offers implications for scholars and policy makers.
A narration of x‐o.global: First steps towards the perversion of GPS in the tropical cartographies of Latin American migration
Authors: Reyes‐Retana Jerónimo 
Published: February 2023

AbstractOver the last ten years, the democratization of smartphones has become a vital factor in closing the ties between mobile technologies and migratory flows that entail cultural integration processes. Official reports published by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) demonstrate how, for people in a context of mobility, smartphones represent not only an essential navigation tool, but also an almost sacred artifact providing emotional resilience to complete arduous journeys of forced displacement. x‐o.global recognizes and addresses this situation by proposing an alternative usage of smartphones and the Global Positioning System (GPS) through a geolocative platform that enables interactive spaces for auditory stimulation. By inserting GPS‐sensitive sound maps into sites offering humanitarian support across the Latin American migratory pathways, x‐o.global enables interactive experiences connecting virtuality with reality. As a project uprooting from the grounds of socially engaged and cross‐platform art‐making, x‐o.global's framework looks forward to instigating tropicalized processes capable of reprogramming global networks of technological control—such GPS—to overhaul the migratory crisis in The Americas.

AbstractThe recently published “electrophysiologically guided low‐voltage bridge (LVB) strategy” is effective in the ablation of atrioventricular nodal re‐entry tachycardia (AVNRT) in children. This study aimed to evaluate its efficacy and safety in children <26 kgs. Fourteen children [64% males, median age 6.5 years (IQR 6–8 years), median weight 25.5 kg (IQR 24–26 kg)] with AVNRT were treated. In all patients, we detected a LVB associated to a typical slow pathway potential. The acute success rate was 100% with a mean of 5.5 cryoablation deliveries. All procedures were performed with near‐zero fluoroscopic exposure (median time 0.15 min, IQR 0–0.7 min), in six patients fluoroscopy was 0 min. There were no complications or recurrences during the follow‐up (median 20.91 months, IQR 11.7–26.7 months).

Authors: Burstal Richard , Ross Bryony 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWe report a child with an unexpected low saturation reading despite normal values having been recorded soon after birth. A family history of Rothschild hemoglobin variant affecting the father was obtained. Saturation values improved with oxygen and anesthesia was uneventful. The development of low saturation values as the child matures is explained, and management for future health presentations outlined.
Regulating government affairs: Integrating lobbying research and policy concerns
Authors: Coen David , Katsaitis Alexander , Vannoni Matia 
Published: February 2023

AbstractLobbying has never been as sophisticated, complex, and well‐funded as it is today. Significantly, interest group strategies are more advanced than the regulatory practices meant to contain them. This raises concerns about states' ability to resist unwanted influence from interest groups. How can government regulations be brought up to speed to address 21st‐century lobbying practices? We argue that there are three critical dimensions to focus on: (i) regulatory consolidation; (ii) system interoperability; and (iii) open‐source implementation. These aspects address the need for better coordination within jurisdictions, cooperation across systems, and effective use of public resources. Developing future regulations along these lines can help policy to leap‐ahead interest groups; while limiting unwanted adverse effects on states' administrative efficiency and political legitimacy. In doing so, we provide a constructive roadmap forward in the field, linking common discussions between researchers, policymakers, and policy stakeholders.
Between research and revival. Emerging trends among highly religious young Catholics in Italy
Authors: Bossi Luca , Botto Loris , Ricucci Roberta 
Published: February 2023

AbstractResearch shows that Italians’ religiosity is in constant decline. Religious literacy, individual and collective practice, participation in rituals, faith’s transmission and symbols’ sharing seem to be following a slow but inexorable downward trend. Catholic communities are being depopulated and churches are emptying out. These phenomena, already emerging in those generations born during the economic boom, seem to have a greater impact on younger generations: the decline of Catholicism as a socio‐cultural phenomenon is characterising our era. Despite those general trends, young generations are not merely abandoning their faith. Even if faith has lost its social function, young Catholics in Italy often cultivate it on an individual level, between the autonomous search for their own spiritual path and the reproduction of forms of high religiosity derived from the family. In some cases, the younger generations show a renewed religiosity, stronger and more secure than that of their parents, which may sometimes involve them in a path of Catholicism’s rediscovery. The article presents and discusses results on highly religious young Catholics deriving from empirical research on intergenerational religious transmission in Italian families, which has been conducted through focus groups and in‐depth interviews between 2020 and 2022.
A case of mistaken MELD (model for end stage liver disease) score—How an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction falsely altered a patient's transplant status

Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundAn acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) caused by intravascular hemolysis features a decrease in hemoglobin/hematocrit, reduced haptoglobin, and increases in creatinine, and bilirubin. Acute intravascular hemolysis carries its own morbidity and mortality, especially in the setting of a patient liver disease related pre‐existing alterations in hemostasis. Additionally, AHTR significantly impacts the laboratory values used in calculating the Model for End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and thus liver transplant status.Case ReportHerein, we present a case of a patient with hepatorenal syndrome due to ESLD on the transplant list who developed an AHTR due to an evolving anti‐Jka that initially presented as non‐specific reactivity in solid phase adherence testing. This evolving antibody caused intravascular hemolysis and a significant increase in bilirubin from 4.7 to 17.1 mg/dl, thus, raising the MELD score, increasing the predicted short‐term mortality risk, and affecting the patient's transplant status.ResultsAcute hemolysis caused significant elevation of bilirubin raising the MELD score which increased both the predicted mortality to 70 percent and the perceived urgency of transplant. The MELD score improved after resolution of the AHTR and clearing of the offending Jka‐positive RBCs.ConclusionThis case highlights the effect of AHTR on parameters used in the determination of MELD score which significantly increases the perceived short‐term mortality and urgency of liver transplant. Therefore, any nonspecific reactivity in initial workup could be due to developing antibodies, and put the patient at higher risk for an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine if human automated external defibrillators (AEDs) could successfully record cardiac electrical activity in dogs, make appropriate recommendations regarding shock delivery, and characterize skin preparation required for a readable ECG based on dog haircoat characteristics.DesignProspective study of AED use in dogs conducted between January and March 2021.SettingUniversity teaching hospital.AnimalsThree groups of client‐owned dogs were evaluated. Group 1 consisted of 23 healthy dogs with sinus rhythms, group 2 consisted of 9 dogs with documented cardiac arrhythmias, and group 3 consisted of 9 dogs receiving CPR following naturally occurring cardiopulmonary arrest.Materials and MethodsHaircoat characteristics and clipping or ECG paste required to obtain a readable ECG were recorded. The time interval from a readable ECG by the investigator until AED shock advisement was measured. Correctness of shock advice was recorded. Analyses were performed using commercial statistical software.P‐values <0.05 were considered significant.ResultsThe attending veterinarian judged the ECG on the AED to be readable in all dogs. Time to shock advisement in all dogs was median 18 (range: 7–180) seconds. Dogs with heavy, long, or double haircoats required clipping in 24 of 27 (89%) cases to obtain a readable ECG. ECG paste on the AED pad was required in 36 of 40 dogs (90%) in order to obtain a readable ECG. The AED advice for delivery of shock was appropriate in 51 of 52 (98%) queries of the machine across all groups.ConclusionsHuman AEDs can successfully record cardiac electrical activity in dogs. AEDs appropriately recommend delivery of a shock most times, contingent on skin preparation. Dogs with double, long, or heavy haircoats should be clipped prior to pad application. ECG paste will aid AED reading in all haircoat types. Further investigation is warranted into AED use in dogs, particularly in general practices.
Kinetostatic Modeling of Continuum Delta Robot With Variable Curvature Continuum Joints

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Continuum robots have attracted lots of attention due to their structural compliance, manipulation dexterity, and design compactness. To extend the application scenarios, a slender continuum robot, the CurviPicker, was developed for low-load medium-speed pick-and-place tasks in a previous study. To improve the payload capacity and positioning accuracy of the CurviPicker, a novel Continuum Delta Robot (CDR) was then proposed with three dual-continuum-joint translators in a preliminary investigation. However, the initial version of the CDR did not fully utilize the bending ranges of its continuum joints. In addition, while being modeled using the constant curvature assumption for the continuum joints, the CDR shows lowered positioning accuracy for heavier objects, as the CDR’s continuum joints diverge from the assumed constant curvature shapes. In this paper, the design of the CDR was re-optimized to enable wider bending ranges of the continuum joints (&gt;90 deg) to generate an enlarged workspace, taking into consideration several possible structural interferences. Furthermore, a kinetostatic model is derived based on the Cosserat rod theory to reduce the positioning errors caused by the external loads. The experimental result showed that the workspace is enlarged to approximately 9.47 × 107 mm3 compared with the volume of 6.57 × 107 mm3 of the initial version. Within this enlarged workspace, the average positioning error with a 1000-g load was reduced to 1.93 mm, compared with 4.43 mm obtained by the previous constant curvature assumption.
Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Control of Stewart Platform With Parametric Simulation in ROS and Gazebo

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe Stewart platform is an entirely parallel robot with mechanical differences from typical serial robotic manipulators, which has a wide application area ranging from flight and driving simulators to structural test platforms. This work concentrates on learning to control a complex model of the Stewart platform using state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms. In this regard, to enhance the reliability of the learning performance and to have a test bed capable of mimicking the behavior of the system completely, a precisely designed simulation environment is presented. Therefore, we first design a parametric representation for the kinematics of the Stewart platform in Gazebo and robot operating system (ROS) and integrate it with a Python class to conveniently generate the structures in simulation description format (SDF). Then, to control the system, we benefit from three DRL algorithms: the asynchronous advantage actor–critic (A3C), the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG), and the proximal policy optimization (PPO) to learn the control gains of a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller for a given reaching task. We chose to apply these algorithms due to the Stewart platform’s continuous action and state spaces, making them well-suited for our problem, where exact controller tuning is a crucial task. The simulation results show that the DRL algorithms can successfully learn the controller gains, resulting in satisfactory control performance.
Late Quaternary–Recent intraplate topographic uplift of the St. Francois Mountains (Ozark Plateau), Missouri (USA), driven by differential density and erosion

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe origin of relatively high topography in intraplate settings is elusive. The St. Francois Mountains, a tectonically inactive region with high relief, a Mesoproterozoic granite and rhyolite core, and Paleozoic sedimentary flanks, provide insights into the evolution of intraplate landscapes. We determined 14 in situ10Be exposure ages, 23 10Be catchment-wide denudation rates (CWDRs), and geomorphic indices using a geographic information system, and we modeled surface uplift using an isostatic-flexure model. CWDRs varied from ~5 to 10 ± 1.7 mm/k.y. and averaged 1.5 times greater in streams draining granite and rhyolite than in those draining flanking sedimentary rocks. In situ results from bedrock strath terraces gave Quaternary incision ages and incision rates that were tenfold higher than CWDRs. Major knickpoints (locally called shut-ins), all at 200 ± 70 m elevation, are located at contacts between the igneous and sedimentary rocks. Our exposure and denudation results inform isostatic-flexural modeling, which together support the conclusion that late Quaternary–Recent surface uplift driven by differential density and erosion focused in the igneous core is creating significant topography and relief in this intraplate setting.
