BackgroundThe River stent is the first stent specifically designed for intracranial venous sinuses. We report the 1-year results of the River trial, performed to obtain Humanitarian Device Exemption approval of the River stent in the United States (US).MethodsThe River trial was a prospective, open-label, multicenter, single-arm trial which enrolled 39 subjects at 5 US centers. Eligible patients had clinical diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) with severe headaches or visual field loss and had failed medical therapy. The primary safety endpoint was the 1-year rate of major adverse events compared with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting using historical controls. The primary benefit endpoint was a composite at 1 year of clinical improvement and absence of venous sinus stenosis. Secondary endpoints included improvement in pulsatile tinnitus, visual symptoms, quality of life (QOL) scores, and medications.ResultsAll procedures were technically successful. There was one serious adverse event, a gastrointestinal hemorrhage observed 2 months after the procedure while the patient was still on dual antiplatelet therapy. The primary safety endpoint was met with a rate of major adverse event of 5.4% versus 51.7% for CSF shunts. The primary benefit endpoint was achieved in 60% of trial participants. Additional improvements were also observed in opening CSF pressure, headaches, papilledema, pulsatile tinnitus, visual symptoms, and QOL scores. Post hoc analysis demonstrated that subjects with minimal or absent papilledema at baseline showed similar improvement compared with subjects with papilledema at baseline, in terms of headaches, pulsatile tinnitus, and QOL.ConclusionsThe River study 1- year results establish safety and suggest efficacy for venous sinus stenting in IIH subjects who have failed medical therapy.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Traditional remediation strategies for soil contamination are inadequate due to various technical and economic gaps. Interest in nanomaterials (NMs), particularly two-dimensional (2D) NMs, is growing as these materials have become the essential components of different technologies, including energy storage, biosensors, and environmental remediation owing to large surface area, high surface functionalities, and outstanding electrical and thermal properties. The flourishing field of nanotechnology and NMs has attracted the attention of environmentalists and technologists for their integration into the field of soil remediation, as water remediation has already been studied to a larger extent. Therefore, this review has been designed to explore and analyse the role of graphene, its derivatives and their nanocomposites, one of the most emerging 2D materials in the field of environmental remediation, in mitigating soil contamination. The underlying mechanisms, namely, adsorption and catalytic degradation of the emerging soil pollutants, have been explored along with discussing the studies linked with the real-world implication of this technology. Further, the environmental and health impacts of graphene has also been highlighted, which is accumulated in the soil after reaction. Too optimise the soil remediation process by graphene and its derivatives, the challenges involved have also been discussed along with suggestive future strategies.&#xD;

Published: February 2025

Background: Patients with esophageal cancer (EC) who have undergone esophagectomy are at risk of developing hypoxemia and encountering postoperative complications. It is essential to ascertain whether the high‐flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy offers superior clinical efficacy compared to conventional oxygen therapy (COT).Methods: Clinical data from 80 patients who experienced hypoxemia subsequent to radical esophagectomy were retrospectively collected at our institution spanning January 2020 to December 2022. The whole cohort was divided into two groups: the HFNC group and the COT group. Following oxygen administration, we evaluated the variations in arterial blood gas parameters and infection indices within each group, in addition to scrutinizing the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications.Results: The HFNC group was associated with a better oxygenation index (Fgroup = 41.779, p < 0.001) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Fgroup = 16.760, p < 0.001) compared with the COT group. Moreover, there were statistically significant differences in the reduction of C‐reactive protein (Fgroup = 17.603, p < 0.001) and neutrophil count (Fgroup = 4.395, p = 0.039) in the HFNC group compared with the COT group after 3 days of oxygen therapy. Notably, patients treated with HFNC exhibited a markedly reduced risk of developing postoperative complications, especially pneumonia (p = 0.039).Conclusion: HFNC outperformed COT in enhancing oxygenation and reducing carbon dioxide levels and infection indices among patients with hypoxemia after radical resection of EC and also lowered the risk of postoperative pneumonia.
Maxillary Anterior Root Position/Angulation and Alveolar Bone Thickness in the Saudi Population: Implications for Implant Therapy
Authors: Fathi Wesam , Alkheraije Kadi 
Published: February 2025

Background: Immediate implant placement has been considered a rapid and relatively efficient oral rehabilitation method that restores functional and esthetic demands. Understanding the anatomical tooth position and the natural dimensions of the alveolar ridge would facilitate proper treatment planning for immediate implants particularly in the esthetic zone. Therefore, the present study aims to use cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) images to evaluate sagittal root position (SRP), tooth angulation within the alveolar ridge, and measuring labial and palatal alveolar bone thickness at maxillary anterior teeth.Materials and Methods: CBCT images of 102 Saudi adult subjects were used to evaluate the maxillary anterior teeth for three main parameters: SRP classification, root angulation in the alveolar bone, and labial and palatal bone thickness.Results: A total of 612 teeth were evaluated. Three hundred eighty‐three teeth were classified as SRP Class I; majority of canines (75%), 46.08% of lateral incisors and 66.67% of central incisors. For SRP Class I, 46.5% of the teeth belong to females and 53.5% to males. In SRP Class II, 71.1% are female and 28.9% are male. SRP Class III has 33.3% females and 66.7% males. For SRP Class IV, 57.3% are female and 42.7% are male. Males have statistically significant thicker labial bone at canines and lateral incisors, at 2, 4, and 6 mm. However, males have statistically significant thicker bone at central incisors in palatal measurements and at the apex.Conclusion: There are significant differences in how canines, lateral, and central incisors are distributed across SRP classifications (p  < 0.001). Canines show high frequency in Class I, but low in Class II. Lateral incisors have more even distribution between Class I and II. Central incisors follow similar pattern to canines with high Class I. The variations in SRP class and the gender differences in bone thickness identified in the current study confirm the necessity of personalized treatment plans to enhance immediate or even delayed implant placement success rates.

Abstract
Increased PI3K signaling as a result of PIK3CA mutation or amplification or decreased expression of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) is one of the most common alterations in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). PTEN negatively regulates PI3K signaling and its downstream effectors including COX2. COX2 mediates the synthesis of PGE2 which contributes to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. PGE2 also binds to one or more EP receptors (EP1-EP4) and promotes the growth of tumor cells via activation of EP2 and EP4. However, the role of PGE2 in PTEN-deficient HNSCC is incompletely understood. Here, we assessed PGE2 signaling in PTEN-deficient HNSCC and evaluated the effect of aspirin or TPST-1495, a dual EP2/EP4 antagonist, on the growth of PTEN knockout (KO) and PIK3CA-altered HNSCC tumors in immunocompetent mice. Our results demonstrated that aspirin selectively inhibits the growth of PTEN KO HNSCC tumors. TPST-1495 inhibited tumor growth and substantially increased the anti-tumor activity of the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD1. To date, there are no FDA-approved therapies for PI3K pathway-altered HNSCC. Our findings suggest that NSAIDs demonstrate anti-tumor activity in PTEN-deficient or PI3K-altered tumors whereas EP2/EP4 targeting may augment FDA-approved anti-PD1 therapy in HNSCC.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The research aim is to predict popular psychology based on perfectionism, cognitive style, and emotional schema. The population of the study included men, and women aged 20 to 60 living in the city. According to Krejcie & Morgan’s table, 383 people were selected using a non-proportional stratified random sampling method. To collect data, a popular psychology questionnaire, Hill’s perfectionism questionnaire, Leahy’s emotional schema questionnaire, and Witkin’s cognitive style test were employed. The results showed that there was a significant and positive impact of perfectionism (The Beta coefficient = 0.18, p-value < 0.05) and emotional schema (The Beta coefficient = 0.30, p-value < 0.05) on popular psychology; while there was no correlation between cognitive style and popular psychology which its equation can be presented as PP = 0.3ES + 0.18P + 1.11. Regarding the model, R2 = 0.14 indicates that the model explains 14% of the variances in popular psychology.
Can Social Cognitive Theory Reduce Gender Inequality in Digitization among Women in Agricultural Activities in Tanzania?
Authors: John Yuslida 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This research examines the role of social cognitive theory in reducing gender inequality in the introduction of digitization among agriculturists’ women in Tanzania. This follows the low pace of digitalization adoption among women in the agriculture sector in Tanzania. The study experience from women farmers in two villages such as Membe and Chinangali in the Chamwino district in the Dodoma region with structural equation modeling indicates that social cognitive theory in terms of self-efficacy, observed learning, and observed behavior can influence digitization among agriculturalist women in Tanzania. While digitization has become inevitable in all sectors, with no exception to agriculture, understanding factors that motivate digitization among women farmers is critical given the low rate of adoption, despite the greater number of women involved in the sector.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study examined how Puerto Rican parents living in the United States reason about illnesses and remedies. Special focus is placed on the influence of Puerto Rican cultural, religious, and spiritual beliefs due to the influence of Taino, West African, Spanish, and U.S. beliefs and customs. Parents of 3.5 to 12-year-old children from the Rochester, NY area were asked to complete a questionnaire centered on their beliefs and an open-ended interview that explored how one could get sick and treated for biological illnesses (e.g., the common cold, COVID-19, cancer). Although participants reported religious, spiritual, and mystical beliefs in the questionnaire, they provided scientific explanations for illness and remedies in the interview. This study provides novel findings on how individuals of Puerto Rican descent understand illnesses and remedies and the variation across individuals. This study provides strong evidence for the variation in coexistence of beliefs within this population.
Markets, Religion, Community Size and the Evolution of Fairness? Not Really
Authors: Deb Angarika 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
An influential account of human fairness has suggested that norms of equity and fairness evolved as community sizes grew, markets and institutions stabilised and world religions came about. The account rests on the assumptions that humans predominantly interacted with kin in the evolutionary past, lived in genetically related groups and did not have formal norms of cooperation. In this article I present anthropological evidence to the contrary. Contemporary hunter-gatherer societies from around the globe live in nomadic camps with fluid membership and low genetic relatedness; cooperate extensively based on principles of need, and equity; have high prevalence of food sharing, cooperative hunting and alloparenting; and demonstrate formal norms of redistribution for essential goods. I suggest therefore, that this account of fairness is in need of revision. Fairness – understood as equity in distributions – is not a recently evolved disposition in market-integrated societies; but has likely existed in hunter-gatherers too.
Practice as Philosophy
Authors: Addona Victoria 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Florentine architect Bernardo Buontalenti’s only sustained commentary on his profession is found not in a treatise but in the margins of Domenico Mellini’s tract, Discorso contro il moto perpetuo (1587). While Mellini relied upon Aristotelian doctrine to disprove Buontalenti’s claimed invention of a perpetual motion machine, the architect corrected him by asserting the primacy of practical knowledge over theoretical reasoning. This paper examines incidents of late sixteenth-century Florentine architect-engineers writing against intellectual and institutional authorities, often in unexpected formats including marginalia, drawings, and self-published pamphlets. It explores their contributions in the context of a transitional moment in the history of architectural professionalization—the foundation of art academies. Challenging humanistic doubts on practical knowledge and an increasingly specialized definition of the architect as artist, late sixteenth-century architect-engineers increasingly upheld material and technical experimentation as modes of rational thought providing more direct and truthful knowledge of the natural world.
‘I Don’t Know If You Have Experience with Meditation?’
Authors: Grenz Sabine 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In 2020, during the height of COVID, I conducted research in the German-speaking area that revealed a complexity of power relations between the secular and the religious as well as between different religious branches. The aim of this article is a methodological contribution to post-secular research. Starting from the underlying question of how we interact with our participants in order to allow for unspeakable discourses from a secular/-ist perspective, the article engages in-depth with excerpts from qualitative empirical interviews and explores how discourses of cultural memory resonate in them. Based on an interpretative methodology inspired by diffractive reading, which takes the cultural history of secularisation and its discursive memory as a prism to differentiate power discourses, it focuses on the discourses of gender, colonialism, and pathologisation as well as on their entanglement with each other. While discourses of gender and colonialism have been the subject of a large body of research in empirical religious studies already, this article adds an analysis of pathologisation.
Disobedient Humanitarianism: Moral Experiences of Aid in the Arabian Desert (1962–1970)
Authors: Gorin Valérie 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Drawing from ethnographic scholarship on experienced moralities in aid work, this article interrogates the engagement of humanitarian delegates in the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) mission during the civil war in Yemen (1962–1970). Working in difficult and remote conditions, the ICRC delegates developed paradoxical relationships with the environment, the climate, and the populations, which both fascinated and intimidated them. Their sensorial and affective responses shaped their collective experiences in the desertic and mountainous landscapes and enhanced their convictions to act in front of extreme suffering in the midst of conflict. This influenced the decision-making process of one man in particular, André Rochat, the head of mission, who developed a pragmatic spirit of initiative that went sometimes beyond his professional duties. By exposing the moral dilemmas these delegates went through, the article discusses how this led to a disobedient form of action against normative institutional frameworks.
The Afobaka Dam
Authors: Price Richard 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article argues that the Afobaka Dam in Suriname, completed in 1965, which created one of the world’s largest reservoirs, sank 43 Saamaka and several Ndyuka/Okanisi villages, and forcibly displaced 6,000 people from their homes, should be considered a crime against humanity. It describes the origins of the engineering project, the interactions between the Suriname government and the Saamakas, the “transmigration” villages built to house the displaced people, and the continuing deleterious effects of the dam. Evidence is provided from affidavits of Saamakas and outside experts before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in 2007, as well as the author’s interviews with participants—both government officials and Saamakas—since the 1960s.
Space in Movies: Continuity and Perceptual Load Guide Spatial Judgements

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Movies often require viewers to form complex spatial maps due to the constant movement of the camera. In the present study, we investigated the role of perceptual load (high vs low) and screen orientation (regular vs mirrored) on people’s judgements of spatial relations in movie scenes. We manipulated perceptual load as the complexity of information in the background and screen orientation as the position of actors in the original video compared to a mirrored version, which flipped the actor positions 180° on the horizontal axis halfway into the video. In Experiment 2, we introduced a cue (either on the actor or on the background) to draw attention to the spatial relations in the first half of the video, which represented the regular orientation. To explore these variables in a more controlled setting, we filmed simple activity videos in the laboratory in Experiment 3. Overall, the results indicated that preference for the most recent spatial orientation significantly decreased, and reaction times increased when actor positions reversed halfway into the scene. Also, high perceptual load or cues on actors increase the chance that the viewer might shift from the original spatial-temporal framework. The results suggest that continuity of actor positions appears to be the most crucial factor for forming and updating spatial representations in movie sequences. Nonetheless, scene background is also considered by the viewers as a part of the active mental model as a contextual cue to anchor actor positions.
Tree form and anatomical determinants of maximum potential height, with focus on North American conifers
Authors: Jagels Richard , Wason Jay 
Published: February 2025

Summary
Tree form can determine biomechanical strategies for attaining maximum height growth. In an earlier paper, tree height in five global forest regions was linked to increasing bending stiffness (modulus of elasticity, MOE) and, in three of those regions, height was independent of bending strength (modulus of rupture, MOR), as approximates with slender column buckling theory. But, in Latin American and North American angiosperm forests, tall trees exhibited a relationship with bending strength in addition to the relationship between height and stiffness. Here we compared forest characteristics of the five regions and determined that greater species diversity likely introduced more competition with the development of larger and broader crown size. These trees no longer approximate the slender column model and consequently result in shorter trees. Since conifers do approximate slender column buckling theory, we used the inverse relationship between tracheid length and microfibril angle (MFA), a determinate of tracheid tensile strength and stem stiffness, to show that tracheid length for 37 North American conifers correlates with current tree height. This correlation mimics that of stiffness with tree height, providing evidence that tracheid length could be used as a predictor of potential tree height. Eight conifers (four southern pines, bald cypress, sugar pine, Sitka spruce and coast redwood) with the longest tracheids revealed current maximum heights that are less than tracheid length would predict. They are currently restricted to seasonally wet habitats that fail to provide the tropical rainforest conditions from which they were excluded by angiosperms in the evolutionary past. Current rapid climate change leading to drier conditions could further reduce maximum height development in these conifer giants.
Maine de Biran
Authors: Devarieux Anne , Emma-Adamah Victor 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Why do we still persist today in describing Maine de Biran’s thought as “spiritualist,” even though it sets materialism and spiritualism back-to-back as speculative systems – already present in embryonic form within Cartesian doctrine – that run counter to inner experience and the true science of humankind? This article revisits the genesis of the discovery of a force that, according to its author, alone proves truly capable of grasping the feeling of effort or sense of self, something that no prior metaphysical or physiological explanation had succeeded in articulating. Such a force is not spiritual if by “spiritual” we mean a force divorced from all matter and any physiological conditions of its realization. Consequently, as Biran repeatedly insists, all discussions of spiritualism and materialism revolve around the ambiguity between the self (moi) and the soul (âme). To be a philosopher of consciousness, must one be a spiritualist?
