Richard Wright and the Literary Popular Front: Progressive Interwar Writers, Antiracist Nationalism, and the Cold War Birth of World Literature
Authors: Strand Eric 
Published: January 2025

AbstractRichard Wright is exemplary of an interwar version of world literature, undergirded by the cultural centers of Moscow and Paris, that valorized progressive antiracist nationalism. Influenced by leftist writers like André Malraux, Wright created the masterpiece of this literary Popular Front, Native Son. During the postwar Red Scare, Wright continued his Popular Front–style cultural politics in Paris, helping France resist the CIA-engineered cultural Cold War. His underappreciated The Outsider resists the construction of a politically quietist canon of high modernist world literature. Although Wright himself later advanced an American exceptionalist perspective in the 1950s, the circulation and translation of his early work inspired a generation of anticolonial writers, such as Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Ousmane Sembène, and Frantz Fanon. Today's globalization-driven world literature models overlook or actively seek to discredit Wright's progressive and antiracist model.
Tipping Points: Abuse and Transformative Discovery
Authors: Schroeder Mark 
Published: January 2025

This paper explores how philosophical accounts of the nature of persons and attributive responsibility can help us to make sense of the kinds of characteristic errors that people make in interpreting what is attributable to one another. I show how this gives us an important tool for understanding some important kinds of interpersonal conflict, with particular attention to understanding why Maya Angelou's advice that "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time" can seem easier to have followed from the privileged perspective of retrospection than it really was in prospect.
Public Finance and Debt Crises in Southern Africa: A Push for Central Banks over Parliaments
Authors: Zongwe Dunia 
Published: January 2025

In the soaring symphony of fiscal policy in Southern Africa, this paper orchestrates a new tune, proposing that central banks, not parliaments, should take the lead role in managing and taming sovereign debt. This proposal reacts to the adoption by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) of the Public Finance Management Model Law on July 14th last year – a law that empowers SADC parliaments, especially their public accounts committees (PACs), to oversee governments’ management of public debts. Among other things, this model law on public finance management (PFM) provides for debt ceilings and the steering of public debts towards SADC voluntary debt target of 50% of gross domestic product (GDP).
Drawing on law and economics, this paper criticizes SADC’s decision to empower parliaments to tame sovereign debts as hopelessly naïve because they lack the incentives to do so. Instead, this paper proposes that SADC reallocates to central banks the heavy responsibility to act as stewards of sovereign debt management because the 2009 SADC Central Bank Model Law and the municipal laws that domesticated it have entrenched the independence of central banks from external interference and political pressure.
In a region that houses the world’s two most unequal societies, South Africa and Namibia, parliaments will most probably not sacrifice their electability in order to rein in public finances and sovereign debt. The world’s first-ever model community law on PFM, the SADC PFM Model Law affords policymakers and scholars a golden opportunity to rekindle the debate on sovereign debts in a region where economies and public finances have been ravaged by low-growth or recession since the mid-2010s, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine War, high inflation, and the cost-of-living crisis.
Exploring the Ancient Persian/Unani Theory of Connection between Gastrointestinal and Respiratory Tracts: Current Evidence and Future Directions
Authors: Saeidinejat Shahin , Zaidi Syed Mohd Abbas , Ranjbar Alireza , Derakhshan Alireza 
Published: January 2025

The theory of connection between respiratory and gastrointestinal systems is a key topic in different types of traditional medicine. In this study, we discussed the history, main concepts of this theory along with related studies and its possible clinical applications. In this regard numerous scattered studies have shown a relationship between upper and lower respiratory disorders and gastrointestinal symptoms. Numerous epidemiologic, pathophysiologic and clinical evidence confirm the interrelationship and integrated functioning of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. It seems that the holistic approach that emphasizes the link between the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems in traditional Persian medicine, is in line with the theory of united mucosa that has been considered in recent years. The interaction between the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems can occur through several mechanisms, including commonalities in embryonic sources, role of identical mediators and receptors, influence of common pathogens in the lungs and gut, similarity of microbiota patterns and changes, and same inflammatory and mucosal responses. We believe that this theory can provide new insight for the approaches to respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders in the light of holistic medical knowledge. Also, further research should be conducted to identify the exact paths and mechanisms of communication between respiratory and gastrointestinal systems.

Authors: Sunil C.M. , Sukanya T.S. , Asha N.N. , Bhagyalakshmi T. , Raveendra H.R. 
Published: January 2025

Background: Actually, the millets are grown organically/no manures are applied even under low fertile soils resulted in poor millet production levels and leading to higher price of millets. Hence, there is need for low cost and eco-friendly technologies for getting higher productivity and sustaining the soil health. Methods: The field experiment was conducted to investigate the benefits of liquid microbial consortia and their mode of application on small millets (Proso, Little and Barnyard millet, respectively) at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, V. C. Farm, Mandya from kharif, 2020 to kharif 2022. The experimental design followed was randomized complete block design with three replications using the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) at various levels (100%, 85% and 70% RDF, respectively) with different mode of application of liquid microbial consortia as seed treatment, soil application and combination of both. Result: The highest grain and straw yield was realized with treatment receiving 100% RDF+Seed treatment with liquid microbial consortia (5 ml kg-1 seed) followed by soil application of liquid microbial consortia (6.25 litres/ha) mixed with 500 kg farmyard manure (FYM) and applied in furrows during sowing as compared to 100% RDF alone. This might be due to the better growth and yield parameters. The nutrient uptake by grain and straw and microbial population and available soil nutrients at harvest and B:C ratio also followed the similar trend as in case of grain and straw yield.
Revamping medical coding with AI: a systematic review of interdisciplinary applications and perspectives for plastic surgery
Authors: Landau Madeleine B. , Rosbrugh Jared , Rizzuto Kristen , Mortell Tatjana , Schlosser Alexis , Chaffin Abigail E. 
Published: January 2025

Aim: This review evaluates the use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP) technologies for enhancing current procedural terminology (CPT) coding accuracy and efficiency in plastic and reconstructive surgery and related disciplines to define a precedent for future implementation.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection was performed to identify studies that leveraged artificially intelligent technologies in coding related to surgical procedures commonly managed by plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
Results: 11 peer-reviewed articles, which encompassed more than 1,000 CPT codes across numerous surgical subspecialties with overlap in plastic and reconstructive surgery and model systems, were included. The key findings highlight that AI-driven models demonstrate high sensitivity, specificity, area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC), and accuracy. While performance metrics varied considerably depending on the specific AI model employed, these systems were found to be effective assistive technologies for medical coding. Studies underscored the advantages of integration, maximizing billing workflow and reducing administrative workload. However, studies of AI performance for billing and medical coding within plastic surgery settings specifically were sparse. Notably, these investigations emphasized the need to tailor models for targeted suitability.
Conclusions: This review highlights the potential of AI technologies to improve CPT coding by enabling time and resource management and ultimately combatting the mounting presence of surgeon burnout. The sparsity of plastic surgery-specific literature on this emerging topic and untested promise in the specialty calls for intentional plastic surgeon-driven initiatives in the development of such applications.
A Review of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs)
Authors: Orilade Mejehiemi , Iroh Jude 
Published: January 2025

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are electrochemical devices that can transform the chemical energy stored in fuel directly into electrical energy, Commercialization of PEM fuel cells has progressed significantly in recent years. One of the primary obstacles preventing polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) from being a commercially viable product is their durability. To offset insufficient fuel cell durability, it is critical to understand their degradation phenomena and study the degradation mechanisms of its components. This will allow novel component materials to be produced and novel viable designs to be achieved. The various causes of degradation in important cell components, such as membranes, gas diffusion layers, and catalyst layers were reviewed, which included accelerated stress test (AST) analysis. Thermodynamic and kinetic factors linked to fuel cell operation are discussed along with a discussion of reactions that may be involved in catalyst deterioration. The use of water collectors in PEMFCs mitigates the challenge of cathodic flooding in PEMFCs. Optimization of PEMFCs efficiency can also be achieved by introducing platinum, iron, and nickel deposition as support catalyst as well as by reduction in fuel cell ripples. Zirconated-based proton conducting materials show prospects as an alternative for Nafion due to its stability at high temperatures.

Systematic Literature Review: Interpersonal Communication Problems In Hearing Children From Deaf Parents
Authors: Setyaningsih Santi , Utari Prahastiwi , Satyawan Ignatius Agung 
Published: January 2025

The main problem in families in which there are Deaf parents and Hearing children is the problem of communication, both verbally and in sign language. Hearing children with Deaf parents are able to communicate in two ways, either verbally with non-Deaf people or using sign language with Deaf people. Communication between children and Deaf parents is an important problem in their social and emotional development. This study aims to determine the communication problems that arise between children and Deaf parents. The main focus is to explore the obstacles experienced by children in understanding and conveying messages from their parents who have hearing impairments. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Researchers found 127 Scopus articles in a search using Science Direct and with the help of Mendeley and VOSViewer which were then filtered into 18 articles to be analyzed descriptively. The findings show that lack of communication should not be a reason why Deaf parents cannot have access or information about their children. And appreciate that hearing children or Children of Deaf Adults or CODA have different ways of communicating with Deaf parents, the Deaf community and the hearing or non-Deaf community.
A Novel Multihead Attention-Enhanced Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory Encoder-Decoder for Oil Production Forecasting
Authors: Cao Zhimin , Song Qianxi , Xing Kongduo , Han Jian , Qie Dongxin 
Published: January 2025

Summary
Oil production forecasting is crucial in reservoir engineering for decision support and strategy optimization. Traditional methods struggle with capturing complex temporal dependencies and nonlinear relationships in production data, especially when other influencing factors are incomplete, missing, or contain unreliable outliers. Even after data preprocessing, these features often remain inadequate. Additionally, most previous researches have focused on single-step forecasting, which is insufficient for comprehensive planning and decision-making. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel hybrid encoder-decoder deep learning framework, named MA-CLSTM-ED, which combines convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM) network, and multihead attention mechanism to reveal intricate patterns and insights within the oil production data. This model is specifically designed for scenarios where only production data are available, using innovative feature engineering methods that extract first-order differences and cumulative sum data to enhance prediction accuracy. The Rime optimization algorithm (RIME), inspired by the physical phenomenon of rime-ice formation, is used for hyperparameter optimization, further improving the model’s efficiency and performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MA-CLSTM-ED model significantly outperforms traditional methods in multistep oil production forecasting, maintaining high prediction accuracy even in challenging data conditions. The integration of differential and cumulative data as input features reduces the impact of minor parameter changes on predictions, decreasing forecast chaos and improving stability and accuracy. Multiple experiments validate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed methods, highlighting the model’s potential in providing more accurate and reliable tools for oil production forecasting.
The potential of four legume trees for mercury phytoremediation and the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in low- and middle-income countries often lack adequate safety measures, leading to significant health risks and environmental mercury pollution. Phytoremediation, a plant-based method that utilizes plants to accumulate soil-borne contaminants such as heavy metals, has been verified to restore land for ecosystem services or even future farming. Therefore, this study evaluates the potential of four legume species typically found in Ghana, the world's second largest gold exporter - Acacia mangium, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala and Senna siamea - for the removal of mercury from contaminated soils, as well as potential trade-offs related to eco-physiological processes. It was further investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation could enhance mercury removal capacity. Predominantly, A. mangium consistently exhibited the highest mercury uptake and did not show signs of mercury toxicity. G. sepium showed moderate mercury uptake but suffered considerable physiological damage. L. leucocephala was resistant to mercury but accumulated only small amounts. S. siamea exhibited moderate mercury accumulation without physiological impairment. AMF inoculation did not significantly increase mercury uptake but appeared to mitigate physiological stress under mercury exposure. These results indicate that reforestation of abandoned gold mines with A. mangium may be a suitable starting point for phytoremediation of mercury and inoculation with AMF can provide additional protection against mercury toxicity.
Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training in Hypoxia versus Normoxia on Body Composition and Metabolic Health in Overweight and/or Obese Population: An updated Meta-Analysis
Authors: Ding Li , Huang Jin , Liu Jue , Guo Li , Chen Bin , Cao Yinhang , Girard Olivier 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
While aerobic training is well-established for improving body composition and metabolic health in normoxia, its effectiveness in hypoxia remains unclear.
Objective
This meta-analysis examines whether aerobic training in hypoxia is more effective than in normoxia for improving body composition and metabolic health in overweight and/or obese individuals, and identifies optimal exercise prescription variables.
Methods
A search of five databases was conducted through 10 November 2024. Random-effects meta-analyses evaluated body composition (e.g., body mass and fat mass) and metabolic health markers (e.g., triglycerides and glucose). Subgroup analyses were performed based on inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2), exercise duration, frequency, session length, and age.
Results
Aerobic training in hypoxia resulted in greater reductions in body mass (mean difference [MD] = -0.90, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.80 to -0.01), triglycerides (MD = -10.78, 95% CI: -20.68 to -0.88), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MD = -5.28, 95% CI: -8.75 to -1.81), and insulin resistance (MD = -0.22, 95% CI: -0.33 to -0.11) (all p < 0.05), with a trend towards larger fat mass loss (MD = -1.22, 95% CI: -2.59 to 0.15, p = 0.08). These benefits were more prominent in moderate hypoxia (FiO2 ≥ 15%), in individuals < 40 years, and with protocols involving ≥ 4 days/week, ≥ 60-min sessions, and < 8 weeks of training.
Conclusion
Aerobic training in hypoxia is more effective than in normoxia for reducing body mass, fat mass, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and insulin resistance in overweight and/or obese individuals. These findings could help inform obesity management strategies using hypoxic training.

Abstract

Background: Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) poses a significant challenge to both health and performance in male athletes. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of REDs on various health and performance parameters in male athletes.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted up to April 2024, using four databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus. A structured search was carried out following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Cross-sectional studies investigating the relationship between energy availability (EA) and metabolic and hormonal biomarkers, as well as athletic performance in male athletes, were included. The methodological quality of the selected studies was assessed using a modified version of the McMaster scale.
Results: A total of 10 studies, comprising 308 participants, were included in this systematic review. Low energy availability was associated with significant reductions in resting metabolic rate (RMR) and RMR ratio, as well as increased cortisol levels and decreased athletic performance. However, no significant changes were observed in bone mineral density or in levels of testosterone, triiodothyronine, and insulin-like growth factor 1.
Conclusions: REDs impacts male and female athletes differently, highlighting the need for further studies to determine the critical EA thresholds that trigger negative effects in male athletes.
Registration: This systematic review was prospectively registered with the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO registration ID number: CRD42024565897).

Abstract

Novel neuromorphic imaging arrays integrate photonic perception, memory, and process capability, enabling intelligent imaging with efficient spatial and temporal data fusion for object recognition, enhancement, and motion perception in autonomous vehicles and surveillance systems, surpassing the limitations of conventional charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors. Halide perovskites hold significant promise due to their capacity to simultaneously manipulate photogenerated ions and electronic charges, thereby facilitating the development of sophisticated neuromorphic imaging systems based on the intrinsic material dynamics. However, the limited response range (ultraviolet-visible spectrum) and the toxic nature of lead remain unresolved for perovskite-based neuromorphic imaging applications. Here, we present lead-free non-toxic CH(NH2)2SnI3 (FASnI3) perovskites with low-toxicity components, excellent optoelectronic properties, and superior near-infrared response by multi-site chelate effect with bio-friendly quercetin (QR) molecules. Coupled with the device mechanism of non-equilibrium photogenerated carrier strategy, the near-infrared (NIR) optoelectronic synapse based on FASnI3-QR perovskite films exhibited key optoelectronic synaptic characteristics for practical applications, including quasi-linear time-dependent photocurrent generation, prolonged photocurrent decay, and low energy consumption. Ultimately, the 12×12 real-time neuromorphic NIR imaging array was successfully constructed on the thin-film transistor (TFT) backplanes through the heterogeneous integration of perovskite optoelectronic devices and Si electronic circuits, which enables spatiotemporal information fusion for object recognition, enhancement, and motion perception in complex environments for autonomous vehicles and surveillance systems at the hardware level.
