An item response approach to sea‐level rise policy preferences in a nascent subsystem
Authors: Gmoser‐Daskalakis Kyra , Scott Tyler A. , Lubell Mark , Vantaggiato Francesca P. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractSea‐level rise is a “nascent subsystem” with policy actors actively developing initial policy preferences through participation across multiple policy forums in a polycentric system. This paper uses item‐response models to empirically analyze how actors, perceived problems, and preferred policy solutions are related in a latent “policy space”. We focus on California's San Francisco Bay region, where in the last decade, sea‐level rise emerged to become one of the most salient climate adaptation issues. We find that actors and policy preferences are arranged in a two‐dimensional space, with highly engaged actors more likely to consider environmental justice and ecological aspects of sea level rise. Our findings have implications for theories of nascent subsystems within the Advocacy Coalition Framework, and for understanding how a local policy subsystem develops to address and prioritize the multi‐faceted impacts of climate change.
A DEFENSE OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION: REFLECTIONS ON PETER HARRISON'S “AFTER SCIENCE AND RELIGION” PROJECT
Authors: Reeves Josh A. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractRecent scholars have called into question the categories “science” and “religion” because they bring metaphysical and theological assumptions that theologians should find problematic. The critique of the categories “science” and “religion” has above all been associated with Peter Harrison and his influential argument in The Territories of Science and Religion (2015). This article evaluates the philosophical conclusions that Harrison draws from his antiessentialist philosophy in the two volumes associated with his “After Science and Religion Project.” I argue that Harrison's project is too skeptical toward the categories “science” and “religion” and places too much emphasis on naturalism being incompatible with Christian theology. One can accept the lessons of antiessentialism—above all, how meanings of terms shift over time—and still use the terms “science” and “religion” in responsible ways. This article defends the basic impulse of most scholars in science and religion who promote dialogue and argues for a more moderate reading of the lesson of Territories.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Multi-laser powder bed fusion (M-LPBF) systems are garnering increased attention in metal additive manufacturing as they promise increased productivity and part size without sacrificing feature resolution or mechanical properties. However, M-LPBF introduces unique problems related to the interaction of multiple moving heat sources not observed in single laser systems, possibly leading to unexpected flaws and other process anomalies. Careful process modeling, planning, and monitoring are required to fully exploit M-LPBF. We present a novel in situ sensing and machine learning-based flaw detection for M-LPBF. Specifically, we consider a configuration where on-axis multi-spectral sensors are integrated and synchronized with each of the three lasers on a 3D Systems DMP Factory 500 printer. Each multi-spectral sensor monitors spectral emissions at two material-dependent wavelengths. The time series data generated from the multiple multi-spectral sensors are converted into a rasterized image per layer to be fed into a supervised deep learning (DL)-based semantic segmentation pipeline. To discriminate nominal process variations from anomalies, we explore a novel framework to incorporate context into the DL model which includes factors such as laser scan direction, processing parameters, and multi-laser proximity. We demonstrate our framework on in situ monitoring data collected during a build of carefully selected specimens seeded with surrogate lack of fusion flaws. Post-build X-ray computed tomography data are registered to the in situ data to generate ground truth labels for training and validation of the DL model.
Factors Related to Physical Activity in Adults With Intellectual Disabilities in Group Home Settings: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Laxton Paige , Patterson Freda , Healy Sean 
Published: December 2022

This systematic review of literature aimed to synthesize the multilevel factors related to physical activity (PA) among adults (age 18–65) with intellectual disability living in group homes. Keyword searches were used to identify articles from electronic databases, resulting in the inclusion of 10 articles for full-text review. Data were extracted relating to study and sample characteristics and study findings. Methodological quality of the studies was also evaluated. Factors related to PA in group homes were identified at all levels of the social–ecological model. Intrapersonal factors (e.g., health and functional status, attitude to PA), interpersonal factors (e.g., staff attitude, encouragement for PA, and coparticipation in PA), and organizational factors (e.g., program offerings, staff education, and staff–client ratios) were prominent findings in the reviewed studies. The findings support a social–ecological approach for PA promotion in group homes that target intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organizational factors.
Comparison of Dynamic Balance and Unilateral Hop Performance Between Women and Men Handball Players After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Pilot Study
Authors: Alfuth Martin , Franke Pia Joana , Klemp Jonas , Knicker Axel Johannes 
Published: December 2022

Context: After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), long-term functional deficiencies can occur, with controversial results reported when comparing women and men. Dynamic balance and unilateral hop test performance are considered important indicators for the risk of reinjury of the lower extremity. Although both sexes seem to have a similar risk to experience a second anterior cruciate ligament injury, sex-specific differences of dynamic balance and unilateral hop performance in handball players following ACLR are unknown. Objective: To compare dynamic balance and unilateral hop performance between women and men handball players at least 6 months after ACLR. Design: Cross-sectional pilot study. Participants: Ten women (27.6 [4.5] y) and 10 men (26.5 [3.1] y) handball players 6 to 16 months after ACLR. Outcome Measures: Dynamic balance and unilateral hop performance were assessed using the Y-Balance Test and the Single-Leg Hop for Distance Test. Results: Women players demonstrated significantly better results in the anterior direction of the Y-Balance Test for both legs compared with men players. Hop performance was not significantly different between sexes. Conclusion: Dynamic balance and single-leg hop performance seem not to differ between women and men handball players 6 to 16 months after ACLR. The difference between sexes in the anterior reach direction of the Y-Balance Test should be considered small, rather than representing a true difference.

Published: December 2022

PurposeAdolescents develop their decision-making ability as they transition from childhood to adulthood. Participation in their medical care should be encouraged through obtaining assent, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). In this research, we aim to define the current knowledge of AAP recommendations and surgeon practices regarding assent for elective reconstructive procedures.MethodsAn anonymous electronic survey was distributed to North American paediatric surgeons and fellows through the American Pediatric Surgical Association (n=1353).ResultsIn total, 220 surgeons and trainees responded (16.3%). Fifty per cent of the surgeons who are familiar with the concept of assent had received formal training; 12% of the respondents had not heard of assent before the survey. Forty-seven per cent were aware of the 2016 AAP policy statement regarding assent in paediatric patients. Eighty-nine per cent always include adolescents as part of the consent discussion. Seventy-seven per cent solicit an expression of willingness to accept the proposed care from the patient. The majority (74%) of the surgeons perceived patient cooperation/understanding as the biggest barrier to obtaining assent. Over half of the respondents would consider proceeding with elective surgery despite the adolescent patient’s refusal. Reasons cited for proceeding with elective surgery include surgeons’ perception of medical necessity, perceptions of disease urgency, and lack of patient maturity.ConclusionPaediatric surgeons largely acknowledge the importance of assent, but variably practice the principles of obtaining assent from adolescent patients undergoing elective reconstructive procedures. Fewer surgeons are explicitly aware of formal policy statements or received formal training. Additional surgeon education and institutional policies are warranted to maximise inclusion of adolescents in their medical care.

Published: December 2022

BackgroundFabry disease is a rare, multisystemic disorder caused byGLAgene variants that lead to alpha galactosidase A deficiency, resulting in accumulation of glycosphingolipids and cellular dysfunction. Fabry-associated clinical events (FACEs) cause significant morbidity and mortality, yet the long-term effect of Fabry therapies on FACE incidence remains unclear.MethodsThisposthocanalysis evaluated incidence of FACEs (as a composite outcome and separately for renal, cardiac and cerebrovascular events) in 97 enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-naïve and ERT-experienced adults with Fabry disease and amenableGLAvariants who were treated with migalastat for up to 8.6 years (median: 5 years) in Phase III clinical trials of migalastat. Associations between baseline characteristics and incidence of FACEs were also evaluated.ResultsDuring long-term migalastat treatment, 17 patients (17.5%) experienced 22 FACEs and there were no deaths. The incidence rate of FACEs was 48.3 events per 1000 patient-years overall. Numerically higher incidence rates were observed in men versus women, patients aged >40 years versus younger patients, ERT-naïve versus ERT-experienced patients and men with the classic phenotype versus men and women with all other phenotypes. There was no statistically significant difference in time to first FACE when analysed by patient sex, phenotype, prior treatment status or age. Lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was associated with an increased risk of FACEs across patient populations.ConclusionsThe overall incidence of FACEs for patients during long-term treatment with migalastat compared favourably with historic reports involving ERT. Lower baseline eGFR was a significant predictor of FACEs.
Bianchi type II modified holographic Ricci dark energy model in Barber’s self-creation theory of gravitation

Published: December 2022

In this paper, we studied a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type II space-time in the presence of matter and modified holographic Ricci dark energy in Barber’s second self-creation theory of gravitation. We obtained exact solution of the field equations by assuming ( i) a special law of variation of the mean Hubble parameter and ( ii) the component [Formula: see text] of the shear tensor [Formula: see text] is proportional to the expansion scalar in the model. Some physical and dynamical parameters were determined and their significant roles are discussed with respect to cosmic evolution of the universe. We observe that the model is consistent with modern cosmological observational data.
Investigating the effects of seed treatments on the economically optimal seeding rate of conventional soybean in Atlantic Canada
Authors: McKenzie-Gopsill Andrew , Beaton Alec , Foster Adam J. 
Published: December 2022

Soybean seeding rates in the cool growing environment of Atlantic Canada are much higher than other regions impacting economic return. Recent studies across North America have suggested that soybean seeding rates can be lowered to maximize profitability. Seed treatments have been shown to improve abiotic stress tolerance and may be another mechanism to reduce seeding rates. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to ( i) determine the economically optimal seeding rate (EOSR) for conventional soybean in Atlantic Canada and ( ii) determine if fungicide seed treatments can reduce this rate. Field studies were conducted in 2020 and 2021 to evaluate the effects of four seeding rates and four fungicide seed treatments on soybean stand establishment, growth, resource use efficiency, yield, and profitability. Price received had a dramatic effect on producer return and the EOSR which ranged from 243 000 seeds ha−1 under a low price received scenario ($0.45 kg−1) up to 613 000 seeds ha−1 under a high price received scenario ($0.82 kg−1). In contrast, seed and pesticide costs had a minimal impact on expected returns. Soybean resource use efficiency was not impacted by seeding rate or by seed treatments. Further seed treatments did not impact soybean stand establishment or profitability. Soybean yield increased with seeding rate and plateaued at a seeding rate of 741 000 seeds ha−1, whereas individual plant yield dramatically declined as seeding rate increased. Results of this study suggest that soybean producers in Atlantic Canada should base their seeding rates on contracted or expected price received to maximize profitability.

Published: December 2022

In this study, we analyzed the effect of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on the transmission dynamics of their coinfection to make a recommendation based on reasons to public health sector, policy makers, and programme implementers. We proved that the solutions of the sub and full models are positive and bounded. The effective reproduction numbers of the models are derived using the next generation matrix method. The disease-free and endemic equilibria of the submodels and the coinfection model are computed, and the stability of those equilibria is analyzed using Routh-Hurwitz criteria after computing the associated effective reproduction numbers. We performed a sensitivity analysis to show the influence of different parameters on the effective reproduction number of HBV-HIV/AIDS coinfection model, and we identified the most sensitive parameters are

τ

and

α

, which are the rate of MTCT of HIV and treatment rate for HBV infected class, respectively. The numerical simulation of the model is done using MATLAB and the findings from the simulations are discussed. From the results of numerical simulations, we observed that an increase in the rates of MTCT of HBV and HIV exacerbated HBV-HIV/AIDS coinfection, while a decrease in the rates of MTCT of these infections would decline the number of cases, minimize the spread, and help to eliminate HBV-HIV/AIDS coinfection from the society gradually.

Authors: Mo Licai , Wang Jiajia , Qian Jiao , Peng Minfei 
Published: December 2022

Background. The study’s objective was to determine Proteus mirabilis susceptibility in individuals with urinary tract infections and stones to antibiotics and prescribe optimal antimicrobial treatment. Methods. Nonrepetitive Proteus mirabilis strains were isolated from urine specimens obtained from 317 patients diagnosed with urinary stones from January, 2018, to December, 2021. A VITEK mass spectrometer was used for species identification, and a VITEK-compact 2 automatic microbial system was used for the antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST). Susceptibility to imipenem and cefoperazone/sodium sulbactam was tested by the disc diffusion method (K-B method). The antibiotic sensitivity of the strains was analyzed by sex and season. Results. A total of 317 patients were reviewed: 202 females (63.7%) and 115 males (36.3%). Proteus mirabilis infections were observed during spring (21.8%, n = 69), summer (26.2%, n = 83), autumn (33.8%, n = 107), and winter (18.2%, n = 57). Proteus mirabilis infections in females were diagnosed most often during the fall (24.3%, n = 77) and during the summer in males (11.0%, n = 35) (

p

= 0.010). Female patients responded best to levofloxacin (

p

= 0.014), and male patients responded best to sulfamethoxazole (

p

= 0.023). Seasonal variation in antibiotic sensitivity was confirmed, with significantly higher rates in the winter for cefuroxime (

p

= 0.002) and sulfamethoxazole (

p

= 0.002). Significant seasonal increases were also found in levofloxacin sensitivity during the summer (

p

= 0.005). Conclusions. Highly effective antibiotics such as cefoxitin and ceftazidime should be used empirically by considering antibiotic sensitivity changes by sex, season, and year. Regional studies should be conducted frequently.

Published: December 2022

Background
This study was conducted to examine the impacts of coffee and green tea consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among people with severe hypertension.

Methods and Results
In the JACC (Japan Collaborative Cohort Study for Evaluation of Cancer Risk), 18 609 participants (6574 men and 12 035 women) aged 40 to 79 years at baseline who completed a lifestyle, diet, and medical history questionnaire, and health examinations, were followed up until 2009. We classified the participants into four blood pressure (BP) categories: optimal and normal BP, high‐normal BP, grade 1 hypertension, and grade 2–3 hypertension. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate the multivariable hazard ratios with 95% CIs of CVD mortality. During the 18.9 years of median follow‐up, a total of 842 CVD deaths were documented. Coffee consumption was associated with an increased risk of CVD mortality among people with grade 2–3 hypertension; the multivariable hazard ratios (95% CI) of CVD mortality were 0.98 (0.67–1.43) for <1 cup/day, 0.74 (0.37–1.46) for 1 cup/day, and 2.05 (1.17–3.59) for ≥2 cups/day, compared with non–coffee drinkers. Such associations were not found among people with optimal and normal, high‐normal BP, and grade 1 hypertension. Green tea consumption was not associated with an increased risk of CVD across any BP categories.

Conclusions
Heavy coffee consumption was associated with an increased risk of CVD mortality among people with severe hypertension, but not people without hypertension and with grade 1 hypertension. In contrast, green tea consumption was not associated with an increased risk of CVD mortality across all categories of BP.
The Homogenization of Urban Climate Action Discourses
Authors: Westman Linda , Castán Broto Vanesa , Huang Ping 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The diversification of actors in global climate governance may entail risks, but it is also linked to enhanced democratic performance and opportunities for innovation. To what extent has this diversification fostered a parallel multiplication of perspectives in urban climate policy? To answer this question, we analyze the evolution of urban narratives based on 463 international policy documents issued between 1946 and 2020. Our analysis shows that, instead of leading to diversification, the proliferation of actors is accompanied by a growing homogenization of urban narratives. Language appears to become progressively uniform across organizations and over time, with approaches emphasizing multi-actor governance, integrated planning, and co-benefits becoming dominant. Three factors explain this homogenization. First, actors with a long history of involvement in international development exert a significant amount of influence. Second, there is a tendency toward language harmonization in international policy. Third, urban climate narratives stabilize through association with broader policy paradigms. In conclusion, the diversification of actors in international climate policy is mediated by processes of narrative alignment, which foreclose possibilities for divergent thinking.

Published: December 2022

Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare serum allergen-specific IgE to IgE levels in nasal tissue taken from the inferior turbinates of pediatric patients undergoing turbinate reduction. Methods: Twenty-six pediatric patients were recruited at the time of turbinate reduction surgery. At the time of recruitment, parents of patients completed the validated 22 item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) to describe symptoms prior to surgery. A sample of turbinate tissue was taken during turbinate reduction and blood was collected. Tissue and serum IgE were measured and differences in the group characteristics were evaluated using Chi-square tests for binary variables and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests for continuous variables. Student’s t test was used to assess differences in means of total SNOT-22 scoring between the groups, and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests were used again for the rest of the SNOT-22 analysis. Results: Levels of IgE in the serum were compared to levels in the turbinate tissue from all patients for each individual allergen. Every allergen except Alternaria displayed significant correlation between the serum and turbinate IgE levels. Additionally, each allergen except Alternaria and oak tree resulted in a strong correlation ( r > .7) based on the correlation coefficients. Levels of Alternaria were found to be poorly correlative between serum and turbinate tissue, and significance was not achieved ( r = −.346, P = .11). Conclusion: Certain allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the nasal mucosa seem to be highly associated with those in the serum, based upon the significant correlations we found between the two.
