Anti-Work Architecture: Domestic Labour, Speculative Design, and Automated Plenty
Authors: Hester Helen 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This article presents a partial history of visions of technodomesticity in the global north, concentrating on dwellings which seek to problematize, challenge, or reorganize unpaid household labour. It is structured around three case studies, primarily drawn from the United States in the 1950s and 1960s: the single-family suburban dream house, the bachelor pad, and the fully automated future home. While these chosen examples may lend us certain resources for thinking about how best to mitigate the challenges of reproductive labour via living arrangements, they also possess a number of clear drawbacks or limitations. The article will argue that contesting these imaginaries (as much as learning from them) is likely to prove necessary in unpicking the connections between an inequitable distribution of unpaid intrafamilial domestic labour and the house itself as both a concrete site and an ideological formation – necessary, that is to say, in terms of building a meaningfully feminist conception of anti-work architecture.

Abstract
The minimally invasive therapy for the treatment of aortic valve regurgitation and stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is an alternative to surgical valve replacement. Promising clinical results led to the consideration of expanding the use of TAVR in younger patients with lower surgical risk. This implies a longer durability of the TAVR. In relation to the durability of the TAVR, thickening of TAVR leaflets, including reduced motion, has been clinically observed. The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of valve leaflet thickening with reduced leaflet kinematics on the hemodynamics. We measured the flow through a TAVR under pulsatile conditions by using phase-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV). It has been shown that flow conditions alter in a pathological manner in a TAVR replica with thickened leaflets compared with thin leaflets. In detail, shear stress and Reynolds stress increased by up to a factor of two and additionally the washout behaviour was worse for thickened leaflets. This suggests that a thickened valve is at higher risk for platelet activation and aggregation. This could lead to a self-reinforcing process in which the formation of a thickened valve promotes thrombus formation, which in turn promotes further progression of the thickening.

Abstract
Starting from a component-level nonlinear model of a turboprop engine, the high-pressure turbine speed and power turbine speed output data at six steady-state operating points are linearized and fitted, and a turboprop engine state variable model is established. Based on these state variable models, the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control method, the augmented Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control method and the Linear Quadratic Gaussian/Loop Transfer Recover (LQG/LTR) control method are used to design the controllers respectively, and the relative converted speed of the high-pressure turbine is selected as the scheduling parameter of the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model, and the controller is called to control the turboprop engine’s non-linear speed. Linear model for large envelope control. Finally, the control effects of the above three control methods are compared and analyzed, and their advantages and disadvantages are compared. The simulation results show that the LPV controller designed based on the LQG/LTR method is more effective than the controllers designed by the other two control methods on the nonlinear turboprop model.
Blunted Expected Reward Value Signals in Binge Alcohol Drinkers
Authors: Tolomeo Serenella , Baldacchino Alex , Steele J. Douglas 
Published: January 2023

Alcohol-related morbidities and mortality are highly prevalent, increasing the burden to societies and health systems with 3 million deaths globally each year in young adults directly attributable to alcohol. Cue-induced alcohol craving has been formulated as a type of aberrant associative learning, modeled using temporal difference theory with an expected reward value (ERV) linked to craving. Clinically, although harmful use of alcohol is associated with increased time spent obtaining and using alcohol, it is also associated with self-neglect. The latter implies that the motivational aspects of nonalcohol stimuli are blunted. Using an instrumental learning task with non-alcohol-related stimuli, here, we tested hypotheses that the encoding of cue signals (ERV) predicting reward delivery would be blunted in binge alcohol drinkers in both sexes. We also predicted that for the binge drinking group alone, ratings of problematic alcohol use would correlate with abnormal ERV signals consistent with between groups (i.e., binge drinkers vs controls) abnormalities. Our results support our hypotheses with the ERV (nonalcohol cue) signal blunted in binge drinkers and with the magnitude of the abnormality correlating with ratings of problematic alcohol use. This implies that consistent with hypotheses, the motivational aspects of non-alcohol-related stimuli are blunted in binge drinkers. A better understanding of the mechanisms of harmful alcohol use will, in time, facilitate the development of more effective interventions, which should aim to decrease the motivational value of alcohol and increase the motivational value of non-alcohol-related stimuli.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTAllostasis theory predicts specific abnormalities in brain function and subjective experiences that occur when people develop drug problems including addiction. Cue-induced alcohol craving has been formulated as a type of aberrant associative learning, modeled using temporal difference theory with ERV linked to craving. Here, we used an instrumental learning task with non-alcohol-associated stimuli to test hypotheses that the encoding of nonalcohol cue signals (ERV) and reward prediction error signals showed blunting in binge alcohol drinkers. We conclude that fMRI can be used to noninvasively test allostasis and associative learning theory predictions in binge drinkers.

Published: January 2023

Aim. To evaluate the cleaning ability of two single-file rotary systems- Self-Adjusting File (SAF) and Wave one (WO) systems in removing the smear layer using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) + ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and NaOCl + Qmix as irrigants at apical one-third of the root canal.
Methods. Forty extracted human mandibular premolars were selected and working length was determined. The canal was manually instrumented up to a number 25 size K-file. The roots were divided into the following groups with 10 samples each – Group 1 using SAF: Group 1a- 3% NaOCl + 17% EDTA, Group 1b- 3% NaOCl + Qmix. Group2 using WO: Group 2a- 3% NaOCl + 17% EDTA, Group 2b- 3% NaOCl + Qmix. In the SAF group, the irrigation was performed continuously using the special irrigation apparatus. In the WO group, syringe irrigation was done followed by final irrigant activation using passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI). The roots were sectioned longitudinally and subjected to scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination. The amount of smear layer was evaluated using a five score index at the apical third level. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test.
Results. Group 1 (SAF) showed better canal cleanliness at apical third compared to Group 2 (WO) with both irrigant combinations and the results were statistically significant (p<0.05). 3% NaOCl + Qmix was equally as effective as 3% NaOCl + 17% EDTA in removing the smear layer with no significant difference between them.
Conclusion. Within the limitation of this study, SAF in combination with 3% NaOCl + Qmix or 3% NaOCl + 17% EDTA should be used for removing smear layer in critical areas of the root canal.
Pelvic retroperitoneal echinococcal cyst. A case report
Authors: Ziede-Rojas Edmundo , Ramírez-González Eduardo , Jans-Baez Jaime 
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Echinococcosis or hydatidosis is a parasitic zoonosis endemic in Chile that poses an important public health concern. It mainly affects the liver and lungs; however, it may involve diverse areas, with the isolated pelvic location being exceptional and difficult to manage.
Case presentation. A 41-year-old female consulted the emergency department of a hospital in Chile due to lumbosacral pain and was diagnosed with hydatidosis. The patient received surgical treatment and medication, but the disease recurred twice: the first time, a year after the first intervention, and the second time, two months after the second. Therefore, she required a multidisciplinary approach that included long-term antibiotic therapy and a radical approach to the lesion, achieving an adequate control of the disease.
Conclusion: Pelvic echinococcosis is difficult to diagnose due to its low frequency. This disease should be considered in the event of any cystic lesion in endemic areas. A multidisciplinary management reduces possible complications and recurrence.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world. This fact, in addition to the role of Scopus as a high-quality bibliometric data source, Cuba’s privileged position among Latin American countries in terms of neuroscientific output, and the absence of bibliometric studies on Parkinson’s disease in this context motivated the present study.
Objective: To evaluate the productivity, collaboration, and impact of Cuban scientific research on Parkinson’s disease indexed in Scopus between 2012 and 2021.
Methods: A descriptive bibliometric study was performed on 84 articles that had at least one author with a Cuban institutional affiliation. Indicators of productivity, collaboration and impact were used.
Results: The highest output corresponded to the journals Neuroscience and Behavioral Sciences (5 documents each). Parkinsonism and Related Disorders led in terms of number of citations (NC = 201) and average number of citations per paper (ANC = 67). The year with the highest productivity was 2019 (Ndoc = 13). Articles represented 69 % of the documents. Of the 11 most productive authors, 6 were major producers and only one of them is Cuban. The top funding sponsor was Medicinska Forskningsrådet. The Subramanyan’s index was 98,8. The top contributing country was Spain (Ndoc = 25). International collaboration was the most common (79,8 %). The publications reached 1 592 citations. The h-index was 22.
Conclusions: The scientific output was scarce, tended to be in quantitative decline, had few major Cuban producers, presented a high rate of international collaboration, and achieved a notable scientific impact.
VACCINE FORMULATION: ADSORPTION OF <I>Plasmodium falciparum</I> MSP-1 PEPTIDE 1585 ON ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE
Authors: TRUJILLO Mary , SALAZAR Luz M. , VALENCIA Jesús 
Published: January 2023

The Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 1 has been studied due to its potential to become a vaccine; likewise, the peptide 1585 which is located in the 42-kDa amino-terminal fragment induces protective immunity in primates. Despite the importance of antigen adsorption in the formulation and production of vaccines containing aluminium adjuvant, the protein fragment adsorption on aluminium hydroxide has not been thoroughly studied. Electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic interaction and ligand exchange have been identified as the major mechanisms involved in antigen retention on the adsorbent surface. Peptide 1585 was synthesized, and its solubility, adsorption on aluminium hydroxide, as well as its molecule release have been studied here. Results allowed us to raise a model for the adsorption and release of this peptide, which are important parameters to establish optimal conditions for peptideadsorbent interaction and, therefore, their response as a vaccine. Results also established the reversibility of such process due to the phosphate ion effect.
Thus, this work provides a starting point for research works, leading to further development of vaccine formulations containing highly purified synthetic antigens adsorbed on aluminium adjuvant.

Patients with COVID-19 infections have been shown to be under tremendous psychological stress. Chanting the has been shown to ameliorate the stress markers in other conditions. Hence, we envisaged the present study to evaluate the effect of chanting the in our patients presenting with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infections.A multicenter, prospective open label study was carried out in adults diagnosed with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infections confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. General anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale was used for evaluating the psychological well-being of study participants.One-hundred and twenty patients were recruited. Most of the patients felt anxious, worried that something might happen to them at baseline and the proportion has significantly reduced post-intervention (p &#60; 0.0001). The mean (SD) score of GAD scale at baseline was 6.1 (3.4) and was significantly (p&#60;0.0001) reduced after the intervention [0.5 (0.9)]. Similarly, post-intervention almost all the patients either did not have any symptoms of GAD or had only mild compared to the baseline.We observed a significant reduction in the anxiety levels following daily chanting of in mild to moderate COVID-19 patients. A large well designed controlled clinical trial must be done for further confirmation of the findings from the present study.

Abstract
Psychosocial stress has profound effects on the body, including the peripheral immune system and the brain1,2. Although a large number of pre-clinical and clinical studies have linked peripheral immune system alterations to stress-related disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD)3,4,5, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we show that a peripheral myeloid cell-specific proteinase, matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8), is elevated in serum of subjects with MDD as well as in stress-susceptible (SUS) mice following chronic social defeat stress (CSDS). In mice, we show that this increase leads to alterations in extracellular space and neurophysiological changes in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), thereby altering social behaviour. Using a combination of mass cytometry and single-cell RNA-sequencing, we performed high-dimensional phenotyping of immune cells in circulation and brain and demonstrate that peripheral monocytes are strongly affected by stress. Both peripheral and brain-infiltrating monocytes of SUS mice showed increased Mmp8 expression following CSDS. We further demonstrate that peripheral MMP8 directly infiltrates the NAc parenchyma to control the ultrastructure of the extracellular space. Depleting MMP8 prevented stress-induced social avoidance behaviour and alterations in NAc neurophysiology and extracellular space. Collectively, these data establish a novel mechanism by which peripheral immune factors can affect central nervous system function and behaviour in the context of stress. Targeting specific peripheral immune cell-derived matrix metalloproteinases could constitute novel therapeutic targets for stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders.
On computational complexity, using randomized pooling for convolutional neural network

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Randomization is a technique used in algorithms as a strategy that uses a random source as part of its logic. It is used in traditional algorithms to reduce time or space complexity. Many efforts have been made to increase the precision of convolutional neural networks (CNN) in various application domains, but less has been done to minimize the computational complexity of this model. In this work, we introduce randomized pooling (RPool) for CNN. RPool has reduced the number of operations of the CNN. Consequently, the computation time of the algorithm is reduced and the accuracy is improved. The (MNIST) dataset is used to demonstrate the pooling layer (PL) of CNN and compare the results of standard CNN with our proposed RPool for CNN. The simulation results show that as the number of epochs increases, the training and testing time of our proposed RPool decreases while the accuracy increases. We achieved 96.95% accuracy at epoch 10 and 8.85% decrease in training time, which demonstrates the superiority of our proposed RPool for CNN over its competitor average pooling (AvgPool).
Density-dependent predation and predator preference for native prey may facilitate an invasive crab’s escape from natural enemies.
Authors: Pintor Lauren , Kinney Kaitlin A. , Mell Alec C. , Byers James E. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Native predators can confer biotic resistance through consumption of invasive prey. However, early in the invasion process, native predators may initially ignore an invader when it is rare and only increase consumption once it becomes abundant. Furthermore, the willingness of native predators to consume novel invasive prey may be influenced by the similarity of the invader to other native prey species that are favored or familiar. Here we examined whether a native predator (the common mudcrab, Panopeus herbstii) consumes the invasive filter-feeding crab, Petrolisthes armatus as a function of Pe. armatus abundance relative to native prey and the similarity of Pe. armatus to native prey. Using choice experiments, we quantified consumption of invasive Pe. armatus when its abundance was either rare, equal, or more abundant than native prey that were either taxonomically similar (crab, Eurypanoepus depressus) or dissimilar (mussel, Geukensia demissa) to the invader. We found that the absolute consumption of invasive Pe. armatus increased as its relative availability increased, but only in treatments where the alternative prey was a native crab. This suggests that prior experience of the native predator with a similar prey may prime the predator to consume more invasive Pe. armatus. A hierarchical Bayesian analysis determined that both native prey species were preferentially consumed by the native predator Pa. herbstii even when native prey were rare or equal in abundance to invasive Pe. armatus. These results suggest that density-dependent predation plus a persistent preference for native prey by native Pa. herbstii predators may help explain how Pe. armatus escapes its natural enemies.
Integrated perceptual decisions rely on parallel evidence accumulation
Authors: Rangelov Dragan , Fellrath Julia , Mattingley Jason 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The ability to make accurate and timely decisions, such as judging when it is safe to cross the road, is the foundation of adaptive behaviour. While the computational and neural processes supporting simple decisions on isolated stimuli have been well characterised, in the real-world decision-making often requires integration of discrete sensory events over time and space. When crossing the road, for example, the locations and speeds of several cars must be considered. It remains unclear how such integrative perceptual decisions are regulated computationally. Here we used psychophysics, electroencephalography and computational modelling to understand how the human brain combines visual motion signals across space. We directly tested competing predictions arising from influential serial and parallel accounts of visual processing. Using a biologically plausible model of motion filtering, we find evidence in favour of parallel integration as the fundamental computational mechanism regulating integrated perceptual decisions.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The Botshelo Ba Trans study was the first HIV bio-behavioural survey conducted amongst transgender women in South Africa. Engaging research with marginalised communities requires clear points of entry, reference points for understanding the internal culture, and the establishment of trust and understanding. The community-based participatory research approach guided the development and implementation of this study. At the start, a Steering Committee, comprising primarily of transgender women was established and subsequently provided substantial input into the mixed methods study conducted in Buffalo City, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. Key to the success of the study was building trust and establishing ownership of the study by transgender women who were recognized as expert knowledge holders. Thus, a community-based participatory research-informed approach enhanced the validity of the data and ensured that relevant issues were addressed.
