Branding the nation in the era of climate crisis: Eco‐nationalism and the promotion of green national sovereignty
Authors: Aronczyk Melissa 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article examines the contemporary discourse of eco‐nationalism and its promotion of national sovereignty and belonging. I consider some of the strategies, symbols and narratives by which nationalist movements and political leaders have evoked environmental problems and particularly the global threat of climate change to justify excluding populations from ‘native’ lands, erect walls or other physical boundaries around national territories, and limit international traffic of people and goods. This promotion of nation seizes on concerns for continued collective existence, turning away from participation in global networks of culture, capital and cosmopolitanism to act as a bulwark against these networks. As such, it presents a mirror image of global nationalism: whereas the aim is still to take heed of global phenomena, these phenomena now appear as dark clouds on the horizon, from which national citizens must take cover.
How robust are particle physics predictions in asymptotic safety?
Authors: Kotlarski Wojciech , Kowalska Kamila , Rizzo Daniele , Sessolo Enrico Maria 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe framework of trans-Planckian asymptotic safety has been shown to generate phenomenological predictions in the Standard Model and in some of its simple new physics extensions. A heuristic approach is often adopted, which bypasses the functional renormalization group by relying on a parametric description of quantum gravity with universal coefficients that are eventually obtained from low-energy observations. Within this approach a few simplifying approximations are typically introduced, including the computation of matter renormalization group equations at 1 loop, an arbitrary definition of the position of the Planck scale at$$10^{19}\,\textrm{GeV},$$1019GeV,and an instantaneous decoupling of gravitational interactions below the Planck scale. In this work we systematically investigate, both analytically and numerically, the impact of dropping each of those approximations on the predictions for certain particle physics scenarios. In particular we study two extensions of the Standard Model, the gauged$$B-L$$B-Lmodel and the leptoquark$$S_3$$S3model, for which we determine a set of irrelevant gauge and Yukawa couplings. In each model, we present numerical and analytical estimates of the uncertainties associated with the predictions from asymptotic safety.

This study aims to examine the factors affecting the decisions of investors. For this, the effect of the information channels (Telegram, Twitter, friend/peer, brokerage house and investors’ research), the investors’ experience and the bull and bear market effect on investment attitude and intention were investigated. Also, the investors’ experience and the bull and bear market effect were applied as moderators in the research. An experimental research method was used, and three studies were designed. According to research results, information channels significantly affected investors’ decisions and differed from each other. In addition, the attitudes and intentions towards information channels differ regarding investors’ investment experiences. While individuals that have experience are prone to invest more based on their research, potential investors rely more on information channels that provide private messaging.

Published: July 2023

Objective: Hypotension is recognized as a common complication after carotid artery stenting, but its incidence and the risk factors associated with it are uncertain. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate and identify risk factors for hypotension after surgery. Methods: We retrieved risk factors from eight databases for case-control and cross-sectional studies of hypotension after carotid artery stenting according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines on 28 November 2022. Data were analyzed by using R4.2.1 and Review Manager 5.3. Results: A total of 2843 samples were searched, and 17 publications were included in the analysis. The meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of hypotension after surgery was 28.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] (0.225, 0.347)). Age ⩾ 65 years (odds ratio [OR] = 4.55, 95% CI (2.50, 8.29), P < 0.00001), stenosis site (bulb) (OR = 4.41, 95% CI (2.50, 7.79), P < 0.00001), severe stenosis (OR = 3.56, 95% CI (1.62, 7.85), P = 0.002), stenosis proximity (⩽ 10 mm) to bifurcation (OR = 2.69, 95% CI (1.74, 4.15), P < 0.00001), calcified plaques (OR = 4.64, 95% CI (1.93, 11.14), P = 0.0006), post-balloon dilation (OR = 5.95, 95% CI (2.31, 15.31), P = 0.0002), bilateral carotid stenting (OR = 30.51, 95% CI (2.33, 399.89), P = 0.009), and intravenous fluid intake/mL on the first postoperative day (mean difference = 444.99, 95% CI (141.40, 748.59), P = 0.004) were risk factors for hypotension after surgery. Conclusions: A high incidence of hypotension was observed after carotid artery stenting. Age, stenosis site, severe stenosis, stenosis proximity to bifurcation, calcified plaques, post-balloon dilation, type of surgery, and intravenous fluid intake were identified as risk factors.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background
The anglerfish, belonging to the teleost order Lophiiformes, are a diverse and species-rich group of fish that are known to exhibit a number of unique morphological, reproductive and immunological adaptations. Work to date has identified the loss of specific adaptive immune components in two of the five Lophiiformes sub-orders (Lophioidei and Ceratioidei), while no anomalies have been identified to date in two other sub-orders, Antennaroidei and Chaunacoidei. The immunogenome of the fifth sub-order, Ogcocephaloidei has not yet been investigated, and we have therefore used whole genome shotgun sequencing, combined with RNA-seq, to survey the adaptive immune capabilities of the polka-dot batfish, O. cubifrons, as a representative of this as yet unexplored sub-order.

Results
We find that the O. cubifrons genome encodes the core genes needed to mount adaptive T and B cell responses. These genes include those necessary for rearranging and editing antigen receptors, the antigen receptors themselves; as well as the co-receptors, signalling molecules, and antigen presenting molecules (both class I and class II) needed for B cell and T cell development and activation.

Conclusions
From an immune perspective, the polka-dot batfish has a canonical complement of adaptive immune genes, and does not exhibit any of the adaptive immune changes previously identified in monkfish and oceanic anglerfish.

AbstractBackgroundThe phagocytosis and homeostasis of microglia play an important role in promoting blood clearance and improving prognosis after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). LC3-assocaited phagocytosis (LAP) contributes to the microglial phagocytosis and homeostasis via autophagy-related components. With RNA-seq sequencing, we found potential signal pathways and genes which were important for the LAP of microglia.MethodsWe used an in vitro model of oxyhemoglobin exposure as SAH model in the study. RNA-seq sequencing was performed to seek critical signal pathways and genes in regulating LAP. Bioparticles were used to access the phagocytic ability of microglia. Western blot (WB), immunoprecipitation, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the expression change of LAP-related components and investigate the potential mechanisms.ResultsIn vitro SAH model, there were increased inflammation and decreased phagocytosis in microglia. At the same time, we found that the LAP of microglia was inhibited in all stages. RNA-seq sequencing revealed the importance of P38 MAPK signal pathway and DAPK1 in regulating microglial LAP. P38 was found to regulate the expression of DAPK1, and P38-DAPK1 axis was identified to regulate the LAP and homeostasis of microglia after SAH. Finally, we found that P38-DAPK1 axis regulated expression of BECN1, which indicated the potential mechanism of P38-DAPK1 axis regulating microglial LAP.ConclusionP38-DAPK1 axis regulated the LAP of microglia via BECN1, affecting the phagocytosis and homeostasis of microglia in vitro SAH model.
The Longest-Chain Protocol Under Random Delays
Authors: Sankagiri Suryanarayana , Gandlur Shreyas , Hajek Bruce 
Published: July 2023

In the field of distributed consensus and blockchains, the synchronous communication model assumes that all messages between honest parties are delayed by at most a known constant Δ. Recent literature establishes that the longest-chain blockchain protocol is secure under synchronous communication. However, these security guarantees degrade with Δ. In real-world networks, communication delays may occasionally be far more than their typical value. In such a scenario, the security guarantees based on the synchronous model may be overly pessimistic, because they are based on the worst-case delay. This work analyzes the longest-chain protocol under a new network model that assumes the communication delays are random, independent, and identically distributed. The model allows for delay distributions with unbounded support. The main result of this paper is a security guarantee for the longest-chain protocol operating under this model. Our security results depend on the probability that delays exceed the interblock time period, rather than on the worst-case delay. We provide simple, explicit bounds on the security-violation probability that decays exponentially with the security parameter. Under network conditions where delays are sporadically large, our results can provide better security guarantees than prior work. Funding: This work was supported in part by NSF [Grant CCF 19-00636].
Theologie von Kindern – Theologie mit Kindern – Theologie für Kinder
Authors: Grümme Bernhard 
Published: July 2023

Zusammenfassung
Die Kindertheologie könnte, verstanden vor dem Hintergrund des Repräsentationsbegriffs, als Beitrag zur theologischen Würdigung und Anerkennung von Kindern gesehen werden. Sensibilisiert durch den poststrukturalistischen Diskurs, vor allem aber durch postkoloniales Denken wird dieses emphatische Selbstverständnis problematisiert. Auch praxeologisch sind hegemoniale Implikationen nicht zu übersehen. Die Aspekte von Macht, von Identität und Gerechtigkeit scheinen in ihrer Interdependenz nicht hinreichend berücksichtigt zu sein. Der Beitrag analysiert diese komplexe Problematik der Kindertheologie, diskutiert die kritischen Gegenpositionen vor allem hinsichtlich ihrer geltungstheoretischen und normativen Kraft und versucht, mit der Denkform eines alteritätstheoretisch gebrochenen, selbstreflexiven normativen Universalismus eine weiterführende Perspektive anzubahnen.

Published: July 2023

Background:
Decision-making with regard to the treatment of humeral shaft fractures remains under debate. The cost-effectiveness of these treatment options has yet to be established. This study aims to compare the cost-effectiveness of operative treatment with that of nonoperative treatment of humeral shaft fractures.

Methods:
We developed a decision tree for treatment options. Surgical costs included the ambulatory surgical fee, physician fee, anesthesia fee, and, in the sensitivity analysis, lost wages during recovery. We used the Current Procedural Terminology codes from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery to determine physician fees via the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services database. The anesthesia fee was obtained from the national conversion factor and mean operative time for included procedures. We obtained data on mean wages from the U.S. Bureau of Labor and data on weeks missed from a similar study. We reported functional data via the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores obtained from existing literature. We used rollback analysis and Monte Carlo simulation to determine the cost-effectiveness of each treatment option, presented in dollars per meaningful change in DASH score, utilizing a $50,000 willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold.

Results:
The cost per meaningful change in DASH score for operative treatment was $18,857.97 at the 6-month follow-up and $25,756.36 at the 1-year follow-up, by Monte Carlo simulation. Wage loss-inclusive models revealed values that fall even farther below the WTP threshold, making operative management the more cost-effective treatment option compared with nonoperative treatment in both settings. With an upward variation of the nonoperative union rate to 84.17% in the wage-exclusive model and 89.43% in the wage-inclusive model, nonoperative treatment instead became more cost-effective.

Conclusions:
Operative management was cost-effective at both 6 months and 1 year, compared with nonoperative treatment, in both models. Operative treatment was found to be even more cost-effective with loss of wages considered, suggesting that an earlier return to baseline function and, thus, return to work are important considerations in making operative treatment the more cost-effective option.

Abstract

The present work studied the physicochemical properties, i.e., solubility and partition coefficient and toxicity level of eight corrosion inhibitors (CIs), including two commercial CIs and six CIs synthesized by green chemistry as an ecological alternative to commercial CIs. The six environmentally friendly CIs were synthesized considering the basic principles of green chemistry, under ambient temperature and pressure conditions and in the absence of solvents, with a mass reaction efficiency greater than 80% and without the generation of residues. The six environmentally friendly CIs are zwitterionic form of β-amino acid compounds, three of which have structures where the R group is 12, 16, and 18 carbon atoms (CI-R12, CI-R16, and CI-R18) with one carboxylate group and the other three of which have two carboxylate groups (CI-R12-2, CI-R16-2, and CI-R18-2). Two CIs commercially used in the oil industry, CI-IMPG2, and CI-PG12A, were also studied. The chemical structure of the CI, the temperature, and the solvent are factors that determine CI solubility; most CIs exhibit greater solubility in polar media, such as isopropanol: saline solution mixture. The partition coefficient in the aqueous phase: organic phase and mixtures with different volumetric proportions were higher for the environmentally friendly CI in an 80:20 vol% mixture. The 50% effective concentration (EC50), based on stimulation of root growth of Allium cepa, was lowest for CI-IMPG2 and CI-R16-2.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background
Many methods and tools have been suggested to enhance the efficiency of trauma team (TT) work. However, most of these methods necessitate costly simulators and mannequins, which demand significant financial and human resources.
Objective
Was to determine the impact of structured debriefings (SD) with audio/video review of trauma patients' resuscitation events on TT technical and non-technical skills.
Methods
Single center prospective observational cohort study. The study included all ED patients aged 18 years or older who received resuscitation from the trauma team (TT). Virtual meeting was held with the TT using SD to review one trauma patient resuscitation video. Technical skills improvement was based on adherence to the ATLS protocol and non-technical skills based on T-NOTECHS scale.
Results
There was statistically significant improvement in adherence to the ATLS protocol: 73% [55–82%] vs 91% [82–100%] (p < 0.001); and improvement in T-NOTECHS scale: 12 [10–14] vs 16 [14–19] points (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
In this study we found that structured debriefings with review of patients' resuscitation video recordings can have a significant positive impact on trauma team performance in the emergency department in both technical and non-technical skills.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

In this study, we examine the sensitivity of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) to runoff parameterizations in a non-hydrostatic Regional Climate Model (RegCM) for the period from 1982 to 2018. The experiments comprise parameterizations namely SIMTOP control (CTL) scheme and Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) scheme. Both simulations were forced with ERA interim analysis and evaluated with respect to observation and reanalysis products. The results revealed that the VIC simulated rainfall exhibiting a good agreement with India Meteorological Department (IMD) gridded rainfall as compared to the CTL experiments. The temperature features also were simulated relatively well in VIC than CTL especially over the monsoon core region. Similarly, spatial characteristics of soil moisture, relative humidity, total cloud cover, surface net radiation, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux were also performing better with VIC with respect to ECMWF Reanalysis fifth version (ERA5) products. Further, the extreme monsoon rainfall seasons are better simulated with VIC driven experiment. The interannual variations of rainfall, soil moisture, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux explained the dominance of VIC simulations over CTL which further lies in alignment with the aforesaid findings. However, these have been validated with statistical skill score named Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient and mean absolute error. The statistical analyses further corroborated the ISM simulations are better performed with VIC runoff parameterization than the CTL.

Abstract

Background
Activation tagging is an efficient gain-of-function approach to create novel phenotypes and to identify their underlying genes. In this study, a mutant population was developed in the recalcitrant indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. BPT 5204 (Samba Mahsuri) through activation tagging using Ac-Ds transposons.
Methods and results
From the mutant population, 38 (Ac−Ds+ plants) stable Ds plants were generated through germinal transposition at T2 generation. Based on phenotypic evaluation and preliminary screening for sheath blight (ShB) resistance caused by fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani), five stable activation tagged Ds lines (M-Ds-1, M-Ds-2, M-Ds-3, M-Ds-4 and M-Ds-5) were selected. Among them, M-Ds-3 and M-Ds-5 lines showed significant resistance for ShB over other tagged lines and wild type (WT) plants. Furthermore, flanking sequence and gene expression analysis revealed that the upregulation of glycoside hydrolase-OsGH or similar to Class III chitinase homologue (LOC_Os08g40680) in M-Ds-3 and a hypothetical protein gene (LOC_Os01g55000) in M-Ds-5.
Conclusion
Over-expression of glycoside hydrolase gene through activation tagging is demonstrated to be involved in ShB resistance Our study is the first to use Ac-Ds based gain-of-functional mutation to report candidate genes associated with ShB resistance in rice.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

This study presents a scoping review of the use of digital health technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to screen and mitigate risks and mental health consequences associated with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among children and youth. A total of 18 search articles were reviewed thoroughly within four main domains: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicidal behavior/ideation, anxiety/depression, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Findings from the search suggest that the incorporation of digital health technologies stands to improve the quality of related care provisions for the management of mental health consequences of adverse or traumatic events in childhood including PTSD (5%), suicidal behavior/ideation (22%), anxiety/depression (16%), and ADHD (16%). The use of digital health technologies, machine learning tools, natural learning processing, and AI has a positive and encouraging response in mitigating the risks of ACEs. Under proper legal regulations, security, privacy, and confidentiality assurances, digital technologies could assist in mitigating the effects of ACEs and promoting positive childhood experiences (PCEs) in children and young adults, bolstering resilience, and providing reliable public health resources to serve populations in need.
