Monarchism with a Human Face: Balkan Queens and the Social Politics of Nursing in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Davidova Evguenia 
Published: April 2022

AbstractHow were monarchy, gender, and nationalism entwined? Through contextualized comparisons of selected case studies (two generations of royal women in four countries: Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, and Serbia/Yugoslavia), this article explores, in gendered terms, the instrumentalization of nursing as an evolving relationship between state building, warfare, welfare, and voluntary organizations. It argues that certain queens’ interventions in nursing successfully contributed to the “naturalization” of the ruling foreign dynasties in the Balkans and to the militarization of charity. Through such “soft power” they mobilized nursing in different ways to carve out an autonomous space and visibility in wartime as queen-nurses and in peacetime as queen-benefactors. In both cases, royal women personified the “curing” and “caring” dimensions of the modernizing state. Queens’ honorific leadership clearly linked the monarchy and the philanthropic sector but also discreetly expanded the power of the nationalizing state. Queens skillfully promoted a gendered culture of sacrifice, by representing women as caring “by nature,” and thus reinforced neo-traditionalist patriarchal regimes and weakened women’s effectiveness in pursuing their political and economic demands.
High morphological disparity of neuropteran larvae during the Cretaceous revealed by a new large species
Authors: Luo Cihang , Liu Hua , Jarzembowski Edmund A. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe Mesozoic is considered as the ‘golden age’ for the diversification of Neuroptera (lacewings), and many unusual lacewing larvae have been discovered in Cretaceous amber. However, little is known about their early evolution because of the rarity of fossils. Herein, we describe a new genus and species,Kuafupolydentes huigen. et sp. nov., one of the biggest lacewing larvae from the Cretaceous known so far, based on a well-preserved specimen from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber (99 Ma). The new larva is characterized by its large size, each stylet with eight short and blunt teeth, robust and long antennae, and long and robust legs with continuous tarsus and tibia and enlarged claws. It can be considered as an early representative of the antlion clade, Myrmeleontiformia. We suggest that the new larva is also an ambush predator like extant antlions, but it might have used a different strategy to kill large prey. Some of the morphological characters ofK. huiare unknown in any extant lacewings and suggest a greater morphological disparity of Neuroptera during the Cretaceous.
The BNSR-invariants of the Lodha–Moore groups, and an exotic simple group of type
Authors: LODHA YASH , ZAREMSKY MATTHEW C. B. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractIn this paper we give a complete description of the Bieri–Neumann–Strebel–Renz invariants of the Lodha–Moore groups. The second author previously computed the first two invariants, and here we show that all the higher invariants coincide with the second one, which finishes the complete computation. As a consequence, we present a complete picture of the finiteness properties of normal subgroups of the first Lodha–Moore group. In particular, we show that every finitely presented normal subgroup of the group is of type
$\textrm{F}_\infty$
, answering a question posed in Oberwolfach in 2018. The proof involves applying a variation of Bestvina–Brady discrete Morse theory to the so called cluster complex X introduced by the first author. As an application, we also demonstrate that a certain simple group S previously constructed by the first author is of type
$\textrm{F}_\infty$
. This provides the first example of a type
$\textrm{F}_\infty$
simple group that acts faithfully on the circle by homeomorphisms, but does not admit any nontrivial action by
$C^1$
-diffeomorphisms, nor by piecewise linear homeomorphisms, on any 1-manifold.
Communication-constrained cooperative bathymetric simultaneous localisation and mapping with efficient bathymetric data transmission method

Published: April 2022

AbstractBathymetric simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) methods yield accurate navigation results for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and can construct consistent seabed terrain maps. Multiple independently working vehicles can complete tasks like surveying and mapping efficiently, which means cooperative bathymetric SLAM using multiple AUVs is suitable for large-scale seabed mapping. However, the transmission of bathymetric measurements collected using a multi-beam echo sounder over a low bandwidth, noisy, and unreliable acoustic channel is difficult, making cooperative bathymetric SLAM very challenging. This paper develops a graph-based cooperative bathymetric SLAM system that can compress many bathymetric measurements into small-scale acoustic packets and yield accurate navigation results with a 10% loss of acoustic packets caused by unreliable acoustic communication. According to the simulation conducted using the field data, the new algorithm is shown to be robust and capable of providing accurate location and mapping results over a low bandwidth, noisy, and unreliable acoustic channel.
Markets made modular: constructing the modern ‘wet’ market in Hong Kong's public housing estates, 1969–1975
Authors: Chan Vivien 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis article traces how the ‘wet’ market was integrated into the infrastructure of public housing estates in Hong Kong through modularization from 1969 to 1975. This includes how spatial modularization concepts extended into administration and management, incorporating responsibilities and categories of goods that ultimately reflected colonial ideas of health, food hygiene and social and spatial order. In doing so, this article theorizes how the modular market embodied the ways colonial government departments, architects and managers navigated notions of the materiality of ‘wetness’ in the market through its design in response to management and customer needs, but nevertheless how consumers found ways to re-narrate such spaces through maintaining ‘wet’ cultural exchanges and practices. Using government documents and photographs, this article combines a design historical approach to materiality with empirical evidence to expand on histories and practices of the ‘wet market’, bringing the everyday discourses of modernity in Hong Kong to the fore.
A Reconciliation Theory of State Punishment: An Alternative to Protection and Retribution
Authors: Metz Thaddeus 
Published: April 2022

AbstractI propose a theory of punishment that is unfamiliar in the West, according to which the state normally ought to have offenders reform their characters and compensate their victims in ways the offenders find burdensome, thereby disavowing the crime and tending to foster improved relationships between offenders, their victims, and the broader society. I begin by indicating how this theory draws on under-appreciated ideas about reconciliation from the Global South, and especially sub-Saharan Africa, and is distinct from the protection and retribution theories that have dominated the Western philosophy of punishment for about 250 years. Then I argue that it neatly avoids objections to them and is prima facie plausible in its own right. I conclude that this reconciliation theory of state punishment should be taken seriously by philosophers of law and policy makers.
Social influence and political participation around the world
Authors: Bimber Bruce , Gil de Zúñiga Homero 
Published: April 2022

AbstractSocial influence among people is widely understood to be a universal component of the human experience. However, studies of political behavior have generally approached social influence as specific to a type of behavior, such as voting, in a particular national context. There are good reasons to expect that social influence is observable across diverse behaviors and national contexts. In this study, we test this expectation using a two-wave panel survey of national samples in 19 countries. We employ autoregressive models that address some of the endogeneity challenges associated with attempts to measure social influence with survey designs. Our measure of social influence is predictive of diverse political behaviors in many countries with average effects comparable in size to important standard predictors of behavior.

Published: April 2022

Zusammenfassung. Studienplätze werden im deutschsprachigen Raum nach unterschiedlichen Kriterien vergeben, beispielsweise auf Basis schulischer Abschlussnoten oder Ergebnissen psychologischer Diagnostica, die eine Selbstselektion bewirken oder zur Fremdselektion eingesetzt werden. Die Studie vergleicht Möglichkeiten der Selektion und deren Validität für den Studien- und Praxiserfolg: Schulische Abschlussnoten, Self-Assessments und Eignungstests. Zusätzlich wird die Selbstselektion während des Bewerbungsprozesses untersucht. Grundlage der Untersuchung stellt eine 2015 initiierte Längsschnittstudie in Lehramtsstudien dar, in der (angehende) Studierende ( nTeilstichprobe 1= 199; nTeilstichprobe 2= 129) zu fünf Zeitpunkten befragt wurden. Es zeigt sich, dass im Bewerbungsprozess über 40 % Selbstselektion stattfindet. Zur Vorhersage von Studienerfolg können Sprachkompetenz und Gewissenhaftigkeit – erhoben im Eignungstest – Varianz über Abschlussnoten hinaus aufklären. Selbsteingeschätzte Praxisleistungen können durch fachspezifische Interessen – erhoben in Self-Assessments – und Persönlichkeitsmerkmale vorhergesagt werden, nicht jedoch durch Abschlussnoten. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt, dass Abschlussnoten zwar herkömmliche Kriterien von Studienerfolg vorhersagen, standardisierte Tests aber inkrementelle Validität und Vorhersagen für breitere Kriterien leisten können.

Abstract: Previous research shows that psychological hardiness is an important factor contributing to stress resilience in individuals. Of the various instruments available to measure hardiness, the most commonly used is the Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS). Despite its demonstrated utility, the DRS-15 still has a number of serious limitations, including low subscale reliability and limited construct validity. The present work aims to create a new hardiness scale that addresses these limitations. A pool of new items plus the original DRS item set was administered to a census-matched stratified sample of N = 2,021 men and women across the United States. Items for the new scale were selected based on item distribution characteristics, item response theory plots, scale reliabilities, item-total correlations, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). CFA results showed the best fitting model reflected a hierarchical structure with three factors (commitment, control, and challenge) nested under a broad hardiness factor. This factor structure is replicated in two independent validation samples and also holds invariant across gender and age. The new scale shows much improved reliability coefficients (e.g., Cronbach’s α of .93, .85, .84, and .89 for total hardiness, challenge, control, and commitment, respectively), as well as structural equivalence across gender and age. Validity is demonstrated in multiple samples via predictive associations of hardiness scores with theoretically relevant outcome measures, including coping, life satisfaction, anxiety, and depression. The Hardiness Resilience Gauge (HRG) possesses excellent reliability and validity and appears to be a more effective tool for measuring hardiness in adult populations.
Correlation Between Sea‐Level Rise and Aspects of Future Tropical Cyclone Activity in CMIP6 Models

Published: April 2022

AbstractFuture coastal flood hazard at many locations will be impacted by both tropical cyclone (TC) change and relative sea‐level rise (SLR). Despite sea level and TC activity being influenced by common thermodynamic and dynamic climate variables, their future changes are generally considered independently. Here, we investigate correlations between SLR and TC change derived from simulations of 26 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 models. We first explore correlations between SLR and TC activity by inference from two large‐scale factors known to modulate TC activity: potential intensity (PI) and vertical wind shear. Under the high emissions SSP5‐8.5, SLR is strongly correlated with PI change (positively) and vertical wind shear change (negatively) over much of the western North Atlantic and North West Pacific, with global mean surface air temperature (GSAT) modulating the co‐variability. To explore the impact of the joint changes on flood hazard, we conduct climatological–hydrodynamic modeling at five sites along the US East and Gulf Coasts. Positive correlations between SLR and TC change alter flood hazard projections, particularly at Wilmington, Charleston and New Orleans. For example, if positive correlations between SLR and TC changes are ignored in estimating flood hazard at Wilmington, the average projected change to the historical 100 years storm tide event is under‐estimated by 12%. Our results suggest that flood hazard assessments that neglect the joint influence of these factors and that do not reflect the full distribution of GSAT change may not accurately represent future flood hazard.

AbstractWave modeling and analysis of sedimentary structures were used to evaluate whether four examples of symmetrical, reversing, or straight‐crested bedforms in Gale crater sandstones are preserved wave ripples; deposition by waves would demonstrate that the lake was not covered by ice at that time. Wave modeling indicates that regardless of atmospheric density, winds that exceeded the threshold of aeolian sand transport could have generated waves capable of producing nearshore wave ripples in most grain sizes of sand. Reversing 3‐m‐wavelength bedforms in the Kimberley formation are interpreted not as wave ripples but rather as large aeolian ripples that formed in an atmosphere approximately as thin as at present. These exhumed bedforms define many of the ridges at outcrops that appear striated in satellite images. At Kimberley these bedforms demonstrably underlie and therefore predate subaqueous beds, suggesting that a thin atmosphere existed at least temporarily before subaqueous deposition ceased in the crater. The other three candidate wave ripples (Square Top, Hunda, and Voe) are consistent with modeled waves, but other origins cannot be excluded. The predominance of flat‐laminated (non‐rippled) beds in the lacustrine Murray formation suggests that some aspect of the lake was not conducive to formation or preservation of recognizable wave ripples. Water depths may generally have been too deep, lakebed sediment may have been too fine‐grained, the lake may have been smaller than modeled, or the lake may have been covered by ice.
Ionospheric Response During the Tropical Cyclone Debbie Passing Over Eastern Australia in 2017

Published: April 2022

AbstractThe ionospheric morphology responses to tropical cyclone passing over eastern Australia, named as Debbie in 2017, is investigated using Global Positioning System (GPS) Slant Total Electron Content (STEC), and ionospheric characteristics by ionosonde. Based on the data analysis in this study, some significant morphological characteristics of ionospheric responses to tropical cyclone Debbie are identified as follows. As the GPS satellites PRN05 and PRN20 observed on Townsville GPS station were passing near to the cyclone Debbie center at landfall time, their STEC values are obviously increased. The stronger enhancement off0F1 andf0F2 were also observed by ionosonde at Townsville on 28th March, when the distance between Townsville and the center of tropical cyclone Debbie was shorter. Regarding the coupling mechanism between the ionospheric disturbance and the tropical cyclone, it is supposed that the electric field perturbations due to turbulent top movement from tropical cyclones might generate ionospheric irregularity and disturbance.
Maritime Aerosol and CCN Profiles Derived From Ship‐Based Measurements Over Eastern North Pacific During MAGIC

Published: April 2022

AbstractAtmospheric aerosols are widely recognized to give rise to a substantial radiative forcing to the climate by scattering and absorbing radiation and by modifying the microphysical, lifetime, and radiative properties of clouds. During the Marine ARM GPCI Investigation of Clouds (MAGIC) over the Eastern North Pacific (ENP), the ship‐based measured cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentration at 0.2% supersaturation (NCCN,0.2) and condensation nuclei concentration (NCN) had mean values of 116.7 and 219.4 cm−3, with the highest concentrations found closest to LA due to an increase in aerosol sources. Moving westward, both NCCN,0.2 and NCN gradually decreased until stabilizing near 100 cm−3 and 200 cm−3, respectively. Using the methods proposed by Ghan and Collins (2004), https://doi.org/10.1175/1520-0426(2004)021<0387:uoisdt>2.0.co;2 and Ghan et al. (2006), https://doi.org/10.1029/2004jd005752, NCCN,0.2 profiles are retrieved using the surface measured NCCN,0.2 as a constraint. For coupled conditions, correlations between the retrieved NCCN,0.2 profiles and cloud‐droplet number concentration (NC) increase from 0.26 at the surface to 0.38 near cloud base, particularly true for non‐drizzling clouds. Although the correlations are lower than expected, the percentage increase (46.2%) is encouraging. Finally, the relationships between cloud breakup (CB) and the stratocumulus to cumulus transition (SCT) with environmental conditions and associated aerosols are also studied. The decreased NCN trend east of CB is mainly caused by precipitation scavenging, while the increased NCN trend west of CB is strongly associated with the increased surface wind speed and fewer drizzle events. A further study is needed using high‐resolution models to simulate these events.

Published: April 2022

Objective: A group behavioral treatment protocol for pediatric encopresis was last described before significant medical advances have changed medical guidelines for constipation treatment, although no updated behavioral treatment protocols have been published. The current study aims to describe an updated interdisciplinary group treatment protocol for pediatric functional constipation and encopresis and evaluate this for feasibility and acceptability. Method: The development and protocol of the Functional Constipation Shared Medical Appointment (FC-SMA) is described in detail. Patients recruited for the initial 24 months of the integrated group treatment program were described and evaluated for protocol feasibility, acceptability, and initial treatment outcomes, utilizing attendance records, a standardized patient satisfaction questionnaire (PSQ), and treatment outcomes recorded in medical records, respectively. Results: Forty-9 patients enrolled in the FC-SMA, with 43 (87.8%) completing the initial 4-sesion protocol and 34 (69.4%) returning for at least 1 follow-up session. Parent satisfaction was high (PSQ M(SD) ranged from 4.41 (.56) to 4.56 (.50)). Initial treatment outcomes demonstrated improvement or resolution of constipation and encopresis in 83.7% and 67.4% of participants, respectively. Conclusions: An interdisciplinary group treatment model for pediatric functional constipation is feasible, acceptable to patients and parents, and demonstrates promising initial outcomes. Updated medical treatment recommendations require modernized complementary behavioral treatment protocols that further address the complex medical-behavioral interactions and ongoing adherence challenges associated with this population. Implications for Impact Statement This study describes a novel interdisciplinary group treatment protocol for pediatric functional constipation and encopresis. The treatment demonstrated high rates of completion and parental satisfaction and promising clinical outcomes, providing a new treatment option for these children that have historically struggled with poor treatment outcomes and significant emotional and functional impact.

Published: April 2022

AbstractWe investigated gene–environment effects on structural brain endophenotype in bipolar disorder (BD) using a novel method of combining polygenic risk scores with epigenetic signatures since traditional methods of examining the family history and trauma effects have significant limitations. The study enrolled 119 subjects, including 55 BD spectrum (BDS) subjects diagnosed with BD or major depressive disorder (MDD) with subthreshold BD symptoms and 64 non-BDS subjects comprising 32 MDD subjects without BD symptoms and 32 healthy subjects. The blood samples underwent genome-wide genotyping and methylation quantification. We derived polygenic risk score (PRS) and methylation profile score (MPS) as weighted summations of risk single nucleotide polymorphisms and methylation probes, respectively, which were considered as molecular measures of genetic and environmental risks for BD. Linear regression was used to relate PRS, MPS, and their interaction to 44 brain structure measures quantified from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on 47 BDS subjects, and the results were compared with those based on family history and childhood trauma. After multiplicity corrections using false discovery rate (FDR), MPS was found to be negatively associated with the volume of the medial geniculate thalamus (FDR = 0.059, partial R2 = 0.208). Family history, trauma scale, and PRS were not associated with any brain measures. PRS and MPS show significant interactions on whole putamen (FDR = 0.09, partial R2 = 0.337). No significant gene–environment interactions were identified for the family history and trauma scale. PRS and MPS generally explained greater proportions of variances of the brain measures (range of partial R2 = [0.008, 0.337]) than the clinical risk factors (range = [0.004, 0.228]).
