Gender Differences in Disaffiliation from Orthodox Judaism
Authors: Keller Yehudis , Chavarga Alla , Hirsch Estee , Eisen Pesach , Miles Rona 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Religious disaffiliation from Orthodox Judaism is becoming more prevalent and of interest to researchers. In Orthodox Judaism, though gender norms dictate everyday life, research on the role of gender in disaffiliation is scarce. This study analyzed data from a parent study describing the personal experiences of men and women raised as Orthodox Jews who either disaffiliated from the practice (Nwomen = 153, Nmen = 153) or continued practicing (Nwomen = 168, Nmen = 146), examined through the lens of gender. Gender differences had a divergent pattern: disaffiliated women reported adverse social/emotional experiences at a significantly higher rate than disaffiliated men and all affiliates, while all men reported adverse education experiences at a significantly higher rate than women. These patterns may, in part, be due to community norms and differential willingness to report outcomes by disaffiliated and affiliated individuals. Our findings highlight the influence of gender on the experiences within the religious community and the complex process of disaffiliation.
Agouti historiography: the problem of widespread lexical forms and deep linguistic history in Central and South America
Authors: Urban Matthias 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Throughout Central and South America, similar words for salient rodent species, the agoutis (Dasyprocta spp.), reconstruct to some of the most ancient known languages families in the species’ range, including Chibchan (*’kuri), Cariban (*akuri), Tupian (*akutˀi), and others. Unless these are dismissed as mere chance, this makes for as interesting as problematic evidence for deep linguistic history: what mechanisms account for the striking similarities that must go back far into prehistory? One possibility is that the words are lexical evidence for very old genealogical connections. While this is a possibility worth bearing in mind also in light of current and past suggestions that involve some of the relevant groups, we cannot conclude that this is indeed the case on the basis of the available evidence. Another, and perhaps less costly, hypothesis is very old borrowing involving relevant proto-languages or their ancestors However, is this a plausible scenario? On the basis of a large set of data featuring more than 400 languages from Central and South America, I show that neighboring languages have relatively frequently borrowed agouti-words from one another, involving reflexes of the above forms, but also others. This shows that it is natural to expect borrowing my. In either case, the similarities likely demonstrate very old interactions between the mentioned lineages, something with interesting implications on homeland hypotheses and scenarios of early spread.
Time, Experience and Belief
Authors: Skokowski Paul 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
A model is proposed for human-like information-gathering and -utilizing systems. This model uses sensory experience, and subsequent processed belief contents, to provide a notion of psychological time for these agents. This model shows how a narrative can be formed to provide concepts of a ‘now’, a ‘past’, a ‘future’, and perhaps even a ‘flow’ for psychological time. The proposal is that conscious, occurrent access at any moment to registers with different kinds of contents warrants beliefs about relations in time, while recognizing differences between interpretations of psychological time and time as understood in physical theories.
Stormy Images: Elemental Kinetics in the Recent Films of Takashi Makino (2018–2021)
Authors: Turan Kaya 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article examines the movements of the elements (water, air, fire, and earth) in the recent (2018–2021) films of Japanese experimental filmmaker Takashi Makino. It proposes that Makino’s unique style of filmmaking – which consists of layering thousands of moving images of the natural world on top of each other – expresses and encompasses elemental tensions between form and formlessness, clarity and obscurity, and identity and transformation. Taking the storm as an ecological force which foregrounds elemental kinetics, Makino’s films are analyzed in their capacity to disclose natural motion. This allows for a renewed conception of the elemental, understood as process and flow rather than individual units. An elemental politics of the storm emerges, which calls for the fostering of productive and complex movement rather than the stasis of conservation.
Untamed Storms: Cinema’s Oceanic Contingency and Mati Diop’s Atlantics
Authors: Kent Laurence 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The ocean, for Jean Epstein, figures the disruption that the cinematograph offers for human perception, presenting a nonhuman view on the world. This article will critically engage with Epstein’s writings on water to reflect on Mati Diop’s Atlantics (2019) and its particular conception of the oceanic. Atlantics positions the ocean within the perspectives of its filmic subjects but also in excess of them. This perspectival nature of the oceanic speaks to a liminal space between male and female, living and dead, human and nonhuman, which mirrors contemporary debates within Black studies around the exclusion of Blackness from the normative category of the human: the contingency of the definition of humanity based on racial exclusion. As a result, it is not only the nonhuman perspective that the ocean provides in Atlantics, but a spectral haunting of those deemed other than human by global capitalism, which disrupts, as a queer prophecy, the veneer of necessity that the neocolonial order requires to sustain itself.
Animated Waters and the Circulation of Indigenous Instruction
Authors: Hearne Joanna 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
While water as setting and as mirror have driven animation technologies in mainstream American animated features (requiring, in Disney’s 1937 Snow White, the enormous resources of the multiplane camera), contemporary Indigenous productions activate another relationship of viewer to screen and viewer to water, converging to form a new Indigenous screen imaginary that connects instruction with care. This article traces the integration of North American Indigenous animation aesthetics with interrelated relationships and obligations around water and water protection. Drawing on examples from an expanding corpus of short animated productions, I argue that Indigenous ways of envisioning water present viewers with instruction towards action: water conveys a teaching. Following Lenape critic Joanne Barker’s turn to water as an analytic – “a water that (in)forms, a water that instructs” – I explore Indigenous animation of water as both pedagogy and technology, a conjunction that foregrounds human creative authorship even as it decenters the human in favor of water as a teacher.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: Background: An updated National Hockey League (NHL) concussion protocol (NHLCP) was established in the 2016–2017 season to mitigate the negative outcomes of sport-related concussions. However, few studies on the effects of implementing the NHLCP have been performed. Purpose: To define concussion incidence and investigate differences in NHL player performance after a concussion during periods before and after implementation of the NHLCP and to assess the financial impact on NHL teams associated with NHLCP implementation. We hypothesized that concussion incidence would increase and player performance would remain the same after NHLCP implementation. Methods: A retrospective review of NHL players who sustained a concussion before (2000–2001 to 2015–2016 seasons) and after (2016–2017 to 2020–2021 seasons) implementation of the NHLCP (pre- NHLCP and post-NHLCP groups). For each group, multiple performance metrics 30 days, 1 season, and 3 seasons before and after concussion were compared for both groups. Return to play, total concussion cost, and association of return to play with cost were investigated with regression analysis. Results: For both groups, no significant differences in standard performance were observed during the 30-day and 1-season time periods before and after concussion. Mean return to play was significantly higher in the pre-NHLCP than in the post-NHLCP group (20.1 vs 15.7 days; P=0.022). Mean adjusted player salary was not different between groups, but mean adjusted replacement player salary was significantly higher in the post-NHLCP group ($744,505 vs $896,942; P= 0.032). Mean cost of time missed did not differ between groups. Mean return to play time significantly decreased over the entire study period 2000–2021 (R2=0.335, P=0.005), and mean return to play time was positively associated with cost (R2=0.215, P=0.030). Conclusions: Concussion incidence did not change after implementation of the updated NHLCP, but players had significantly less missed time from injury after protocol implementation. Changes in player performance 30 days and 1 year before and after concussion injury were not different before and after NHLCP implementation. [Table: see text][Table: see text]
Engaging the Entire Learner: Pathway Program Administrators’ Experiences of Providing Students with Research Experiences in Academic Medicine
Authors: Jung Sarah , Rosser Alexandra A , Alagoz Esra 
Published: August 2023

Pathway programs designed to recruit and retain students from groups historically excluded from science and medicine have focused on providing academic and social support through programs that provide mentored experiences. However, for students in science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEMM) majors, students from underrepresented groups tend to leave science-oriented programs at higher rates than students who are not underrepresented. As such, they are also underrepresented in medical fields, including academic medicine. Insight into how pathway programs contribute to addressing this issue is critical. This study took a qualitative approach to investigating the experiences of pathway program administrators in academic medicine. Interviews were conducted with 12 program administrators working on 8 different programs throughout the country. Interviews were analyzed using directed content analysis while also allowing for the development of new themes based on the data. The codes were organized into 6 overarching themes: mentorship, student engagement, determining program success, administrative time and program logistics, diversity and inclusion, and transition to virtual learning (due to COVID-19). Within each of these themes, program administrators described challenges along with some strategies programs employed to overcome these challenges. The greatest overall challenge described was finding and sustaining relationships with faculty and nonfaculty mentors. To address this issue, many programs have worked within their institutions to incentivize this work. For student engagement, program administrators reported issues with tailoring to skill sets and interests of multiple students while still fostering community. Program administrators have also expanded definitions for determining program success. Program administration is a challenge, and more support staff or time to devote to these programs is often needed. Diversity challenges encompass recruiting faculty and students from groups underrepresented in STEMM and the logistics of getting all necessary accommodations for students. Finally, transition to virtual learning, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, brought about challenges and opportunities.
HOXA1 participates in VSMC-to-macrophage-like cell transformation via regulation of NF-κB p65 and KLF4: a potential mechanism of atherosclerosis pathogenesis
Authors: Han Zhiyang , Hu Haidi , Yin MingZhu , Lin Yu , Yan Yan , Han Peng , Liu Bing , Jing Bao 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Macrophage-like transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a risk factor of atherosclerosis (AS) progression. Transcription factor homeobox A1 (HOXA1) plays functional roles in differentiation and development. This study aims to explore the role of HOXA1 in VSMC transformation, thereby providing evidence for the potential mechanism of AS pathogenesis.

Methods
High fat diet (HFD)-fed apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE−/−) mice were applied as an in vivo model to imitate AS, while 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POV-PC)-treated VSMCs were applied as an in vitro model. Recombinant adeno-associated-virus-1 (AAV-1) vectors that express short-hairpin RNAs targeting HOXA1, herein referred as AAV1-shHOXA1, were generated for the loss-of-function experiments throughout the study.

Results
In the aortic root of AS mice, lipid deposition was severer and HOXA1 expression was higher than the wide-type mice fed with normal diet or HFD. Silencing of HOXA1 inhibited the AS-induced weight gain, inflammatory response, serum and liver lipid metabolism disorder and atherosclerotic plaque formation. Besides, lesions from AS mice with HOXA1 knockdown showed less trans-differentiation of VSMCs to macrophage-like cells, along with a suppression of krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB RelA (p65) expression. In vitro experiments consistently confirmed that HOXA1 knockdown suppressed lipid accumulation, VSMC-to-macrophage phenotypic switch and inflammation in POV-PC-treated VSMCs. Mechanism investigations further illustrated that HOXA1 transcriptionally activated RelA and KLF4 to participate in the pathological manifestations of VSMCs.

Conclusions
HOXA1 participates in AS progression by regulating VSMCs plasticity via regulation of NF-κB p65 and KLF4. HOXA1 has the potential to be a biomarker or therapeutic target for AS.

AbstractThe tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of colon cancer (CC) has been associated with extensive immune cell infiltration (IMI). Increasing evidence demonstrated that plasma cells (PC) have an extremely important role in advance of antitumor immunity. Nonetheless, there is a lack of comprehensive analyses of PC infiltration in clinical prognosis and immunotherapy in CC. This study systematically addressed the gene expression model and clinical information of CC patients. Clinical samples were obtained from the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) databases. Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), GSVA, and the MAlignant Tumors using Expression data (ESTIMATE) algorithm were employed to research the potential mechanism and pathways. Immunophenoscore (IPS) was obtained to evaluate the immunotherapeutic significance of risk score. Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of chemotherapeutic medicine was predicted by employing the pRRophetic algorithm. A total of 513 CC samples (including 472 tumor samples and 41 normal samples) were collected from the TCGA-GDC database. Significant black modules and 313 candidate genes were considered PC-related genes by accessing WGCNA. Five pivotal genes were established through multiple analyses, which revealed excellent prognostic. The underlying correlation between risk score with tumor mutation burden (TMB) was further explored. In addition, the risk score was obviously correlated with various tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Also, risk CC samples showed various signaling pathways activity and different pivotal sensitivities to administering chemotherapy. Finally, the biological roles of the CD177 gene were uncovered in CC.
