Authors: Spaan Pascalle , van den Boogert Frank , Grootendorst‐van Mil Nina H. , Hoogendijk Witte J. G. , Roza Sabine J. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDisruptive behavior in adolescents is burdensome and may continue into adulthood if left unidentified. The strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) can screen for disruptive behavior, but its psychometric properties in high‐risk samples and ability to predict delinquency warrant further investigation. In 1022 adolescents, we investigated the predictive validity (on average 1.9 years after screening) of the self‐reported SDQ on disruptive behavior disorders and delinquency, measured with multi‐informant questionnaires and structured interviews. We compared three scoring methods: total, subscale, and dysregulation profile scoring. In this high‐risk sample, SDQ subscale scores predicted disruptive behavior outcomes best. Predictive values for the specific types of delinquency were small. Concluding, the SDQ can be used in high‐risk settings for early identification of youth with disruptive behavior.
Fearful andFaint‐Hearted: On Affect and theJust‐WarTradition
Authors: Kavka Martin 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACTIn the spirit of this group of articles commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of theJournal of Religious Ethics, dealing with tradition‐based reasoning, this article takes up a passage from Deuteronomy 20 that allows the “fearful and faint‐hearted” person not to participate in battle, as well as the rabbinic and medieval appropriations of this passage in the Jewish tradition. It argues that this verse gives primacy to affect in a way that complicates standard interpretations of the Jewish tradition on just war and allows us to see the pliability of tradition. Finally, the article argues that scholars assessing the justice of conflicts need to attend to the circulation of affects in a reasoning community, as is currently happening on scholarship on moral injury.
In the Shadow of Hourani: Thinking Islamic Ethics in the 21st Century
Authors: von Doetinchem de Rande Raissa A. 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACTThe present article proceeds in three parts: first, I describe George F. Hourani's approach and its continued relevance in the study of Islamic ethics. Next, I demonstrate the weaknesses of Hourani's approach, particularly his commitment to mapping Islamic thought anachronistically onto a menu of “isms” derived from modern ethical theory. To highlight the urgency of reexamining Hourani's approach and influence, I also demonstrate how scholars' continued reliance upon Hourani perpetuates the limitations of his approach in the study of Islamic ethics today. Finally, I call attention to the ongoing efforts of scholars in the study of Islamic ethics to do better. I conclude that if Islamic ethics is to thrive, the field must reexamine its reliance on Hourani.

SummaryThis study aims to investigate the effects of obstructive sleep apnea on paediatric psychological and behavioural abnormalities. A total of 1086 paediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea and 728 sample snoring controls were enrolled in the study. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea underwent bilateral tonsillectomy plus adenoidectomy or adenoidectomy alone. Repeated Autism Behaviour Checklist, Spence Children's Anxiety Scale, and Children's Depression Inventory were performed to assess the autism symptoms, anxiety level and depressive symptoms before and after surgery. The score of Autism Behaviour Checklist in preschool children with obstructive sleep apnea was higher than that in control. In school children with obstructive sleep apnea, the score of Spence Children's Anxiety Scale was also higher. School children with obstructive sleep apnea with depressive symptoms were significantly higher than that in control. The scores of Autism Behaviour Checklist, Spence Children's Anxiety Scale, and Children's Depression Inventory in the obstructive sleep apnea group after surgery were significantly lower than that before surgery. Our study showed that the score of Spence Children's Anxiety Scale and Children's Depression Inventory had a close correlation with the illness course and hypoxia duration. The Spence Children's Anxiety Scale and Children's Depression Inventory scores are also closely associated with the Autism Behaviour Checklist score. These results suggest that obstructive sleep apnea may have a significant impact on autism symptoms, anxiety levels and depressive symptoms in children. We found that the longer the duration of the obstructive sleep apnea course and hypoxia, the greater the impact on anxiety level and depressive symptoms. The suspected autism symptoms, anxiety level and depressive symptoms in children with obstructive sleep apnea were also significantly correlated. Thus, early detection and timely treatment may often reverse the psychological and behavioural abnormalities caused by obstructive sleep apnea.
Race, Religion, and Global Solidarities: W. E. B. Du Bois and “The Black Church” as a Contested Category
Authors: Baumann Roger 
Published: May 2023

AbstractW.E.B. Du Bois was thoroughly ambivalent about the political significance of American Black churches regarding their role in challenging racial inequality. He saw them as integral to Black social life, but also as failing to live up to their potential as drivers of liberation. And, while he focused primarily on Black churches within the United States, Du Bois was also committed to Black liberation on a global level. This suggests great potential for applying DuBois’ analyses of Black religion to the question of transnational religious and racial solidarities and the global political salience of “the Black Church” as a category. In this context, this article explores the significance of DuBois’ work for analyzing the category of “the Black Church.” It does so through a comparative case study of African American Christian engagement with the issue of Israel and Palestine, with four case studies ranging from African American Christian Zionists to Palestinian solidarity activists. Across these cases, the analysis highlights the ways that the history, identity, and mission of “the Black Church” are invoked in the context of Palestine and Israel. It argues that “the Black Church” is best understood as a contested category of collective religious and racial identity.
The Cost of Being Christian: The Association between Christian Affiliation and Discrimination Experiences among Asians in the United States
Authors: Du Shichao 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWhether religion contributes to or mitigates social inequality is ongoing. This study provides new evidence by examining the association between Christian affiliation and Asian citizens’ discrimination experiences. Using data from the National Asian American Survey and employing the Inverse Probability Treatment Weighting approach, this study finds that having a Christian affiliation is significantly associated with more interpersonal discrimination experienced by Asians in the United States. Strengthened ethnic identity and intraracial contact largely explain the association. Results from several robustness tests confirm this finding. There is a cost of being Christian for Asians in the United States.
Native American youth finding self through digital story telling
Authors: Wicker Melissa , Ruan Jiening 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis holistic single‐case study aimed to understand the impact of digital story telling (DST) on the identity expressions of Native American youth. The question that guided the study asks, ‘How do Native American adolescents in a rural, tribal‐run after‐school programme for Indigenous youth explore and express who they are through digital story telling?’ Five Indigenous youth enrolled in a tribal‐run after‐school programme participated in the study and completed a digital story telling project that contained multiple components and interviews. Data sources included funds of knowledge maps, shields, story scripts, storyboards, interview transcripts, and digital videos. Thematic analysis was the overarching method used to identify themes. The researchers also conducted constant comparison, content analysis, and/or intertextual transcription to analyse specific data types. Findings indicate the youth enjoyed the DST process, explored and solidified their personal identities, and discovered personal strength. The findings also suggest that DST enabled the youth to draw upon cultural knowledges, literacies, and personal experiences to establish their identities and make sense of the world around them. Furthermore, findings reveal the continued presence of racism in society and schools and the need to transform schools into sites that embrace and support Indigenous knowledges, languages, literacies, and identity development of Indigenous students.
Genomic asymmetry of theBrassica napusseed: epigenetic contributions ofDNAmethylation and smallRNAsto subgenome bias

Published: May 2023

SUMMARYPolyploidy is a persistent phenomenon in angiosperm genome evolution that is hypothesized to have contributed to the diversity of extant flowering plants.Brassica napus, one of the world's most important angiosperm oilseed species, originated from the interspecific hybridization ofBrassica rapa(An) andBrassica oleracea(Cn). While the trends of genome dominance in transcriptomics are beginning to emerge, less is known about the epigenetic and small RNA landscapes in polyploids during reproductive development. The seed is the pivotal developmental transition into the new sporophytic generation, and experiences substantial epigenetic modifications over time. Here, we investigated the prevalence of bias in the contexts of DNA methylation and small interfering (si)RNA profiles in both subgenomes (Anand Cn), as well as the ancestral fractionated genomes acrossB. napusseed development. We report ubiquitous Cnsubgenome bias of siRNA expression and cytosine methylation, with DNA methylation being particularly abundant on gene promoters in the Cnsubgenome. Further, we provide evidence that siRNA transcriptional patterns were conserved within the ancestral triplicated subgenomes ofB. napus, but not across the Anand Cnsubgenomes. We discuss how methylation patterns in theB. napusseed relate to genes, promoter regions, siRNA loci and transposable elements through the lens of genome fractionation and polyploidization. Taken together we provide evidence for epigenetic regulation selectively silencing the Cnsubgenome during seed development, and explore the impact of genome fractionation on the epigenetic components of theB. napusseed.
Uncovering the use and impact of mechanical weed control articles: A citation content analysis
Authors: Rasmussen Jesper 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis study investigated the extent to which seven papers on mechanical weed control have been cited, understood and utilised in subsequent publications. Web of Science was used to identify the citing publications, and citation content analysis was conducted to investigate the cognitive links between the citing and cited publications. Cognition involves acquiring, understanding, and using knowledge. Citation of the seven publications in 305 publications was classified, and it was found that perfunctory citations (those that were routinely referenced, with little effort to understand or use content) accounted for 53% of all citations and 16% of the citing articles included citations that were not supported by the references. The most striking finding was that key content was rarely used in articles, despite being referenced in 42% of the published articles. It is recommended that more time be allocated by authors to understanding literature, as this would appear to be a matter of diminishing concern for the scientific community. For those who assume their research area has a better citation practice than found in this study, it is recommended that authors conduct a citation content analysis within their own research area to increase the focus on good literature practices.
Dual tasking in individuals with post-stroke aphasia: a scoping review protocol
Authors: Suarez Lara , Dawson Nicole , Bislick Wilson Lauren 
Published: May 2023

Objective:
The purpose of this scoping review is to identify the main theoretical frameworks being used to explain dual-task performance deficits in people with post-stroke aphasia, to identify the domains of function being measured and the assessments being used, to highlight current interventions to improve dual-task performance, and to identify the gaps in the current body of literature on dual tasking and aphasia.

Introduction:
Post-stroke aphasia can lead to challenges across all activities of daily living. However, little is known about how a stroke and co-occurring language impairment may affect the allocation of cognitive resources, particularly in dual-task conditions. This vital information will allow researchers and clinicians to develop more effective interventions to combat the effects of the infarct.

Inclusion criteria:
To be considered in the review, articles must be written in English, include individuals at least 6 months post stroke, include adults with aphasia (with data presented separately from other populations), and include measures of dual-task performance.

Methods:
This review will be conducted in line with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. A search of Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts, PsycINFO, Communication Mass Media Complete, PubMed, CINAHL Plus, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane Library will be undertaken to identify publications on the topic. Results will be restricted to sources that meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Data will be extracted from included papers by up to 3 independent reviewers using a data extraction tool developed by the reviewers. The results will be presented as a narrative summary, accompanied by charted results, as appropriate.

Framework Development for Patient-Specific Compliant Aortic Dissection Phantom Model Fabrication: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Validation and Deep-Learning Segmentation
Authors: Aghilinejad Arian , Wei Heng , Bilgi Coskun , Paredes Alberto , DiBartolomeo Alexander , Magee Gregory A. , Pahlevan Niema M. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Type B aortic dissection is a life-threatening medical emergency that can result in rupture of the aorta. Due to the complexity of patient-specific characteristics, only limited information on flow patterns in dissected aortas has been reported in the literature. Leveraging the medical imaging data for patient-specific in vitro modeling can complement the hemodynamic understanding of aortic dissections. We propose a new approach toward fully automated patient-specific type B aortic dissection model fabrication. Our framework uses a novel deep-learning-based segmentation for negative mold manufacturing. Deep-learning architectures were trained on a dataset of 15 unique computed tomography scans of dissection subjects and were blind-tested on 4 sets of scans, which were targeted for fabrication. Following segmentation, the three-dimensional models were created and printed using polyvinyl alcohol. These models were then coated with latex to create compliant patient-specific phantom models. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) structural images demonstrate the ability of the introduced manufacturing technique for creating intimal septum walls and tears based on patient-specific anatomy. The in vitro experiments show the fabricated phantoms generate physiologically-accurate pressure results. The deep-learning models also show high similarity metrics between manual segmentation and autosegmentation where Dice metric is as high as 0.86. The proposed deep-learning-based negative mold manufacturing method facilitates an inexpensive, reproducible, and physiologically-accurate patient-specific phantom model fabrication suitable for aortic dissection flow modeling.
A Meta-Heuristic Optimization Procedure for the Identification of the Nonlinear Model Parameters of Hydraulic Dampers Based on Experimental Dataset of Real Working Conditions
Authors: Isacchi Gioele , Ripamonti Francesco , Corsi Matteo 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Hydralic dampers are widely implemented in railway vehicle suspension stages, especially in high-speed passenger trains. They are designed to be mounted in different positions to improve comfort, stability, and safety performances. Numerical simulations are often used to assist the design and optimization of these components. Unfortunately, hydraulic dampers are highly nonlinear due to the complex fluid dynamic phenomena taking place inside the chambers and through the by-pass orifices. This requires accurate damper models to be developed to estimate the influence of the nonlinearities of such components during the dynamic performances of the whole vehicle. This work aims at presenting a new parametric damper model based on a nonlinear lumped element approach. Moreover, a new model tuning procedure will be introduced. Differently from the typical sinusoidal characterization cycles, this routine is based on experimental tests of real working conditions. The set of optimal model parameters will be found through a metaheuristic iterative approach able to minimize the differences between numerical and experimental damper forces. The performances of the optimal model will be compared with the ones of the most common Maxwell model generally implemented in railway multibody software programs.
Increasing the value of digital phenotyping through reducing missingness: a retrospective review and analysis of prior studies
Authors: Currey Danielle , Torous John 
Published: May 2023

BackgroundDigital phenotyping methods present a scalable tool to realise the potential of personalised medicine. But underlying this potential is the need for digital phenotyping data to represent accurate and precise health measurements.ObjectiveTo assess the impact of population, clinical, research and technological factors on the digital phenotyping data quality as measured by rates of missing digital phenotyping data.MethodsThis study analyses retrospective cohorts of mindLAMP smartphone application digital phenotyping studies run at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between May 2019 and March 2022 involving 1178 participants (studies of college students, people with schizophrenia and people with depression/anxiety). With this large combined data set, we report on the impact of sampling frequency, active engagement with the application, phone type (Android vs Apple), gender and study protocol features on missingness/data quality.FindingsMissingness from sensors in digital phenotyping is related to active user engagement with the application. After 3 days of no engagement, there was a 19% decrease in average data coverage for both Global Positioning System and accelerometer. Data sets with high degrees of missingness can generate incorrect behavioural features that may lead to faulty clinical interpretations.ConclusionsDigital phenotyping data quality requires ongoing technical and protocol efforts to minimise missingness. Adding run-in periods, education with hands-on support and tools to easily monitor data coverage are all productive strategies studies can use today.Clinical implicationsWhile it is feasible to capture digital phenotyping data from diverse populations, clinicians should consider the degree of missingness in the data before using them for clinical decision-making.

IntroductionBronchodilators, including long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) and long-acting beta 2 agonists (LABA), are the main treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The efficacy of triple therapy (inhaled corticosteroids/LAMA/LABA) has also been reported. However, the effect of triple therapy on patients with mild-to-moderate COPD has not yet been clarified. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of triple therapy, compared with LAMA/LABA combination therapy, for lung function and health-related quality of life in patients with mild-to-moderate COPD and identify baseline characteristics and biomarkers to predict responders and non-responders to triple therapy.Methods and analysisThis is a multicentre, prospective, open-label, randomised, parallel-group study. Mild-to-moderate patients with COPD will be randomised to receive fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol or umeclidinium/vilanterol for 24 weeks. A total of 668 patients will be enrolled from March 2022 to September 2023 from 38 sites in Japan. The primary endpoint is the change in the trough forced expiration volume in 1 s after 12 weeks of treatment. Secondary endpoints are responder rates based on the COPD assessment test score and the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire total score after 24 weeks of treatment. The safety endpoint is the occurrence of any adverse events. We will also investigate safety in terms of changes in microbial colonisation in sputum and antimycobacterium avium complex antibodies.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol and informed consent documents were approved by the Saga University Clinical Research Review Board (approval number: CRB7180010). Written informed consent will be obtained from all patients. Recruitment of the patients began in March 2022. The results will be disseminated through scientific peer-reviewed publications and domestic and international medical conferences.Trial registration numbersUMIN000046812 and jRCTs031190008.
