Published: May 2023

AbstractConservation and restoration projects often fail to engage local communities during the planning and implementation stage. In addition, when considering urban boundary ecosystems, there exists a wide range of stakeholders that must be involved in the planning process to ensure social equity in land management outcomes. Traditional methods for assessing future landscape change scenarios have been critiqued for their inability to adequately incorporate the diverse range of stakeholder values. This paper presents a multicriteria mapping study, incorporating a novel application of the Nature Futures Framework, to assess nature recovery scenarios on Brighton and Hove’s Downland Estate—an urban boundary landscape surrounding the city of Brighton and Hove in Sussex, South East England. We focus on two key research outcomes. First, we assess the perceived performance of alternative nature recovery options across Nature Future value perspectives and between contrasting stakeholder groups. Second, by mapping stakeholder values from our multicriteria mapping study, we demonstrate that the Nature Futures Framework provides a robust framework within which to assess the diverse values stakeholders hold for land use change. We propose that utilizing the Nature Futures Framework, in combination with the multicriteria mapping interview technique, can form a valuable tool to elicit stakeholder values that may have been hidden, or underrepresented in traditional assessment methods, and to compare the perceived performance of alternative nature recovery scenarios between stakeholder groups.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis article presents the development of a prototype robotic eye-motion system for a novel simulator of ocular and craniofacial trauma that was developed for practical skills training of eye surgeons and first responders. The simulator fills a gap in the ophthalmological training domain, specifically between virtual reality-based systems for cataract and retinal repair and part-task trainers without quantitative measurement capabilities. Combining physical anatomical modules, instrument tracking and embedded sensors with a data acquisition/feedback system in a portable bench-top structure, it offers an alternative to animal- and cadaver-based training. The prototype robotic eye system described includes multiple human eye globe motion features: eye pitch and yaw motion, proptosis, and sensing of applied force to detect pressure/load applied to the globe.

AbstractHead CT, which includes the facial region, can visualize faces using 3D reconstruction, raising concern that individuals may be identified. We developed a new de-identification technique that distorts the faces of head CT images. Head CT images that were distorted were labeled as "original images" and the others as "reference images." Reconstructed face models of both were created, with 400 control points on the facial surfaces. All voxel positions in the original image were moved and deformed according to the deformation vectors required to move to corresponding control points on the reference image. Three face detection and identification programs were used to determine face detection rates and match confidence scores. Intracranial volume equivalence tests were performed before and after deformation, and correlation coefficients between intracranial pixel value histograms were calculated. Output accuracy of the deep learning model for intracranial segmentation was determined using Dice Similarity Coefficient before and after deformation. The face detection rate was 100%, and match confidence scores were < 90. Equivalence testing of the intracranial volume revealed statistical equivalence before and after deformation. The median correlation coefficient between intracranial pixel value histograms before and after deformation was 0.9965, indicating high similarity. Dice Similarity Coefficient values of original and deformed images were statistically equivalent. We developed a technique to de-identify head CT images while maintaining the accuracy of deep-learning models. The technique involves deforming images to prevent face identification, with minimal changes to the original information.

AbstractMechanical sensing Piezo2 channel in primary sensory neurons has been shown contribute to mechanical allodynia in somatic chronic pain conditions. Interstitial cystitis (IC)-associated pain is often triggered by bladder filling, a presentation that mimics the mechanical allodynia. In the present study, we aimed to examine the involvement of sensory Piezo2 channel in IC-associated mechanical allodynia using a commonly employed cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced IC model rat. Piezo2 channels in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) was knocked down by intrathecal injections of Piezo2 anti-sense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) in CYP-induced cystitis rats, and mechanical stimulation–evoked referred bladder pain was measured in the lower abdomen overlying the bladder using von Frey filaments. Piezo2 expression at the mRNA, protein, and functional levels in DRG neurons innervating the bladder was detected by RNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization, western blotting, immunofluorescence, and Ca2+ imaging, respectively. We found that Piezo2 channels were expressed on most (> 90%) of the bladder primary afferents, including afferents that express CGRP, TRPV1 and stained with isolectin B4. CYP-induced cystitis was associated with Piezo2 upregulation in bladder afferent neurons at the mRNA, protein, and functional levels. Knockdown of Piezo2 expression in DRG neurons significantly suppressed mechanical stimulation–evoked referred bladder pain as well as bladder hyperactivity in CYP rats compared to CYP rats treated with mismatched ODNs. Our results suggest upregulation of Piezo2 channels is involved in the development of bladder mechanical allodynia and bladder hyperactivity in CYP-induced cystitis. Targeting Piezo2 might be an attractive therapeutic approach for IC-related bladder pain.
The Fears and Hopes of Ukrainian Migrant Workers in Poland in the Pandemic Era
Authors: Shelest-Szumilas Olena , Wozniak Marcin 
Published: May 2023

AbstractDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, many immigrants found themselves in extremely unstable situations. The recent contributions show that employment decline in the first several months of the lockdown was higher for migrant workers than for natives. At the same time, migrants were less likely to find new employment in the recovery months. Such circumstances may result in an increased level of anxiety about one’s economic situation. On the other hand, an unfavorable environment may induce resources that could help to overcome it. The paper aims to reveal migrants’ concerns together with ambitions connected with the economic activity during the pandemic. The study is based on 30 individual in-depth interviews with Ukrainian migrant workers from Poland. The research approach was based on Natural Language Processing techniques. We employed sentiment analysis algorithms, and on a basis of selected lexicons, we extracted fears and hopes that appear in migrants’ narrations. We also identified major topics and associated them with specific sentiments. Pandemic induced several matters connected with e.g., the stability of employment, discrimination, relationships, family, and financial situation. These affairs are usually connected on the basis of a cause-and-effect relationship. In addition, while several topics were common for both male and female participants, some of them were specific for each group.

Abstract
Purpose
This study examines the associations between migraine headaches, well-being, and health care use among a sample of underserved older African American adults. Controlling for relevant variables, the association between migraine headaches and (1) health care utilization, (2) health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and (3) physical and mental health outcomes was examined.

Methods
Our sample included 760 older African American adults from South Los Angeles recruited through convenience and snowball sampling. In addition to demographic variables, our survey included validated instruments, such as the SF-12 QoL, Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire, and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Data analysis included 12 independent multivariate models using multiple linear regression, log transferred linear regression, binary and multinomial logistic regression, and generalized linear regression with Poisson distribution.

Results
Having migraine was associated with three categories of outcomes: (1) higher level of health care utilization measured by (i) emergency department admissions and (ii) number of medication use; (2) lower level of HRQoL and health status measured by (i) lower self-rated health (ii) physical QoL, and (iii) mental QoL; and (3) worse physical and mental health outcomes measured by (i) higher number of depressive symptoms, (ii) higher level of pain, (iii) sleep disorder, and (iv) being disabled.

Conclusions
Migraine headache significantly was associated with quality of life, health care utilization, and many health outcomes of underserved African American middle-aged and older adults. Diagnoses and treatments of migraine among underserved older African American adults require multi-faceted and culturally sensitive interventional studies.

Published: May 2023

AbstractSolving nonlinear equation systems (NESs) requires locating different roots in one run. To effectively deal with NESs, a multi-population cooperative teaching–learning-based optimization, named MCTLBO, is presented. The innovations of MCTLBO are as follows: (i) two niching technique (crowding and improved speciation) are integrated into the algorithm to enhance population diversity; (ii) an adaptive selection scheme is proposed to select the learning rules in the teaching phase; (iii) the new learning rules based on experience learning are developed to promote the search efficiency in the teaching and learning phases. MCTLBO was tested on 30 classical problems and the experimental results show that MCTLBO has better root finding performance than other algorithms. In addition, MCTLBO achieves competitive results in eighteen new test sets.
Political ideology does not predict self-control in Stroop task performance: new evidence using an incentivized task
Authors: Dickinson David L. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractAn intriguing study concluded that political conservatives exhibited enhanced self-control using the Stroop task [Clarkson et al.: The self-control consequences of political ideology. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A, 112(27): 8250–8253 (2015)]. We preregistered our plans to re-examine this finding using a larger, representative, incentivized, and ideologically balanced sample (n = 476). Across a variety of specifications, we report a consistent null effect of ideology on Stroop response latencies and the Stroop interference effect. These findings suggest that the previously reported result may not generalize. We conclude that there is no causal relationship between political ideology and self-control, as measured by the Stroop task.
Strain evolution in coal seam exposed to injected gas with different species for enhanced CBM extraction: a numerical observation

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe viscosity and density of different gases (CO2 and N2) vary with the gas species, composition and temperature, which may raise variant results of gas injection enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) extraction. The fluid–structure interaction within the coal seam was established to study the evolution of coal strain in the process of ECBM extraction by injecting CO2 or N2. After verifying the equations governing the interaction via experimental tests, the ECBM extraction by injecting different gases was simulated. The characteristics of coal strain induced by gas sorption was comprehensively analyzed. Results show that N2 has strong fluidity in coal fractures, leading to wider influencing range of injected N2 than that of injected CO2. Due to the greater affinity of CO2 to coal, the effect of gas displacement and competitive sorption is more obvious, manifesting in more likely to migrate towards the coal matrix. Compared with regular extraction, the CH4 content at 180d in CO2-ECBM and N2-ECBM extraction has decreased by 24.3% and 13.8%, respectively. The effect of gas extraction is CO2-ECBM > N2-ECBM > regular extraction. The coal strain induced by gas sorption mainly depends on the proportion of adsorbed gas in the coal matrix. The permeability evolution is opposite to the coal strain induced by gas sorption. For CO2-ECBM, the proportion of CH4 decreases gradually caused by the competitive sorption with CO2 in matrix, and the coal strain increases. The influencing factors on the coal strain are injection pressure, initial permeability, water saturation and extraction pressure in order. While for N2-ECBM, the influencing factors on the coal strain are initial permeability, injection pressure, water saturation and extraction pressure in order.

Quantifying the probability and uncertainty of multiple-structure rupture for Taiwan

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis study identifies structure pairs with the potential for simultaneous rupture in a coseismic period and quantifies their rupture recurrence intervals. To assess the potential for a multiple-structure rupture, we calculated the probability of Coulomb stress triggering between seismogenic structures in Taiwan. We assumed that a multiple-structure rupture would occur if two structures could trigger each other by enhancing the plane with thresholds of a Coulomb stress increase and the distance between the structures and identified various sets of seismogenic structure pairs accordingly. We discussed the uncertainty of multiple-structure pair identification from various thresholds of stress change and structure distances, effective friction coefficient, and rotation of rake angles. To estimate the recurrence intervals for multiple-structure ruptures, we implemented a scaling law and the Gutenberg-Richter law in which the slip rate could be partitioned based on the magnitudes of the individual structure and multiple-structure ruptures. Considering that one structure may be involved in multiple cases of multiple-structure ruptures, we developed new formulas for slip partitioning in a complex fault system. By implementing the range of rupture area and slip rate of each structure, the magnitudes and recurrence intervals of multiple-structure ruptures could be estimated. We discussed the epistemic uncertainties of recurrence interval from deviations of slip rate and rupture area, various empirical formula of rupture parameters. The multiple-structure rupture with a larger characteristic magnitude would be crucial for the safety evaluation of infrastructures.

AbstractAdhesive bonding is a constantly developing technique, and the volume of its industrial applications is rapidly increasing, which, in turn, requires improving the compatibility and performance of joining methods in specific applications. The industrial growth of adhesive bonding has also been linked to the broader implementation of composite materials and the increasing number of applications requiring joining dissimilar materials. Compared to traditional joining methods, adhesive bonding does not require local heating of the substrates or introducing holes or notches to them. It is instead a continuous joining method that promotes fewer regions of discontinuities and uniformity of the stress fields. Due to the industrial interest in this method, a substantial effort has been made to expand its range of applications and to provide the design tools that ensure it is a safe, reproducible, reliable, and durable process. The adhesive bonding research field is broad, ranging from adhesive formulation to evaluation of the final bonded structure. The present paper collects the relevant literature and discusses fundamental concepts and recent developments in the adhesive bonding technology, covering three essential topics: adhesive materials, joint designs and joint manufacturing methods, and joint modelling methods. Citing a wealth of relevant review papers, original papers, and book chapters, the paper intends to provide a coherent view of the state of the art, so the reader can identify the opportunities originating from the recent progresses in adhesive bonding.
The Injury Costs of Knapping

Published: May 2023

AbstractFor at least three million years, knapping stone has been practiced by hominin societies large and small, past and present. Thus, understanding knapping, knappers, and knapping cultures is fundamental to anthropological research around the world. Although there is a general sense that stone knapping is inherently dangerous and can lead to injury, little is formally, specifically, or systematically known about the frequency, location, or severity of knapping injuries. Toward this end, we conducted a 31-question survey of modern knappers to better understand knapping risks. Responses from 173 survey participants suggest that knapping injuries are a real and persistent hazard, even though a majority of modern knappers use personal protective equipment. A variety of injuries (lacerations, punctures, aches, etc.) can occur on nearly any part of the body. The severity of injury sustained by some of our participants is shocking, and nearly one-quarter of respondents reported having sought or received professional medical attention for a flintknapping-related injury. Overall, the results of this survey suggest that there would have likely been serious, even fatal, costs to knappers in past societies. Such costs may have encouraged the deployment of any social learning capacities possessed by hominins or delayed the learning or exposure of young infants or children to knapping.
Nudges can be both autonomy-preserving and effective: evidence from a survey and quasi-field experiment

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Nudges are widely employed tools within organizations, but they are often criticized for harming autonomy and for being ineffective. We assess these two criticisms simultaneously: can nudges be both autonomy-preserving and effective in changing behavior? We developed three nudges – an opinion leader nudge, a rule-of-thumb and self-nudges – to reduce a particularly sticky behavior: email use. In a survey experiment of 4,112 healthcare employees, we tested their effect on perceived autonomy and subjective effectiveness. We also tested traditional policy instruments for comparison. Next, to assess objective effectiveness, we conducted a quasi-field experiment in a large healthcare organization with an estimate of 1,189 active email users. We found that each nudge in isolation, but especially when combined, was perceived to be both autonomy-preserving and effective, and more so than traditional policy instruments like an access limit or a monetary reward. We also found some evidence that the combination of all nudges decreased actual email use. This paper advances the literature by showing how innovations in nudge design improve nudges’ ability to be autonomy-preserving and effective.

Abstract
In this work, we present a high-power, high-repetition-rate, all-fiber femtosecond laser system operating at 1.5

m. This all-fiber laser system can deliver femtosecond pulses at a fundamental repetition rate of 10.6 GHz with an average output power of 106.4 W – the highest average power reported so far from an all-fiber femtosecond laser at 1.5

$\unicode{x3bc}$

m, to the best of our knowledge. By utilizing the soliton-effect-based pulse compression effect with optimized pre-chirping dispersion, the amplified pulses are compressed to 239 fs in an all-fiber configuration. Empowered by such a high-power ultrafast fiber laser system, we further explore the nonlinear interaction among transverse modes LP01, LP11 and LP21 that are expected to potentially exist in fiber laser systems using large-mode-area fibers. The intermodal modulational instability is theoretically investigated and subsequently identified in our experiments. Such a high-power all-fiber ultrafast laser without bulky free-space optics is anticipated to be a promising laser source for applications that specifically require compact and robust operation.
