Expert agreement in prior elicitation and its effects on Bayesian inference

Published: April 2022

AbstractBayesian inference requires the specification of prior distributions that quantify the pre-data uncertainty about parameter values. One way to specify prior distributions is through prior elicitation, an interview method guiding field experts through the process of expressing their knowledge in the form of a probability distribution. However, prior distributions elicited from experts can be subject to idiosyncrasies of experts and elicitation procedures, raising the spectre of subjectivity and prejudice. Here, we investigate the effect of interpersonal variation in elicited prior distributions on the Bayes factor hypothesis test. We elicited prior distributions from six academic experts with a background in different fields of psychology and applied the elicited prior distributions as well as commonly used default priors in a re-analysis of 1710 studies in psychology. The degree to which the Bayes factors vary as a function of the different prior distributions is quantified by three measures of concordance of evidence: We assess whether the prior distributions change the Bayes factor direction, whether they cause a switch in the category of evidence strength, and how much influence they have on the value of the Bayes factor. Our results show that although the Bayes factor is sensitive to changes in the prior distribution, these changes do not necessarily affect the qualitative conclusions of a hypothesis test. We hope that these results help researchers gauge the influence of interpersonal variation in elicited prior distributions in future psychological studies. Additionally, our sensitivity analyses can be used as a template for Bayesian robustness analyses that involve prior elicitation from multiple experts.

Published: April 2022

AbstractFor experimental research on language production, temporal precision and high quality of the recorded audio files are imperative. These requirements are a considerable challenge if language production is to be investigated online. However, online research has huge potential in terms of efficiency, ecological validity and diversity of study populations in psycholinguistic and related research, also beyond the current situation. Here, we supply confirmatory evidence that language production can be investigated online and that reaction time (RT) distributions and error rates are similar in written naming responses (using the keyboard) and typical overt spoken responses. To assess semantic interference effects in both modalities, we performed two pre-registered experiments (n = 30 each) in online settings using the participants’ web browsers. A cumulative semantic interference (CSI) paradigm was employed that required naming several exemplars of semantic categories within a seemingly unrelated sequence of objects. RT is expected to increase linearly for each additional exemplar of a category. In Experiment 1, CSI effects in naming times described in lab-based studies were replicated. In Experiment 2, the responses were typed on participants’ computer keyboards, and the first correct key press was used for RT analysis. This novel response assessment yielded a qualitatively similar, very robust CSI effect. Besides technical ease of application, collecting typewritten responses and automatic data preprocessing substantially reduce the work load for language production research. Results of both experiments open new perspectives for research on RT effects in language experiments across a wide range of contexts. JavaScript- and R-based implementations for data collection and processing are available for download.
Difference of Photometric Properties between Regular and Nonregular Miras in the Magellanic Clouds
Authors: Ou Jia-Yu , Ngeow Chow-Choong 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Mira variables are asymptotic giant-branch pulsating stars with long pulsation periods and large amplitudes in optical bands. By applying the random forest algorithm to the I-band light curves for the Miras in the Magellanic Clouds, we have classified these Miras into regular Miras and nonregular Miras. Nonregular Miras exhibit a long-term variation in addition to their primary pulsation periods. Our results confirm that the period–luminosity relation for maximum light has a small dispersion, but only occurs on the regular oxygen-rich Miras, which we recommend to be applied in future distance-scale work. We have also collected multiband photometry for these Miras to perform a spectral energy distribution fitting with stellar and dust components, showing that a significant fraction of dust is present around the nonregular Miras. According to our results, we believe that the periodic long-term variations seen in the nonregular Miras might be due to the presence of dust.

Abstract
In recent years, many Type IIn supernovae have been found to share striking similarities with the peculiar SN 2009ip, whose true nature is still under debate. Here, we present 10 yr of observations of SN 2011fh, an interacting transient with spectroscopic and photometric similarities to SN 2009ip. SN 2011fh had an M

r
∼ −16 mag brightening event, followed by a brighter M

r
∼ −18 mag luminous outburst in 2011 August. The spectra of SN 2011fh are dominated by narrow to intermediate Balmer emission lines throughout its evolution, with P Cygni profiles indicating fast-moving material at ∼6400 km s−1. HST/WFC3 observations from 2016 October revealed a bright source with M
F814W ≈ −13.3 mag, indicating that we are seeing the ongoing interaction of the ejecta with the circumstellar material or that the star might be going through an eruptive phase five years after the luminous outburst of 2011. Using HST photometry of the stellar cluster around SN 2011fh, we estimated an age of ∼4.5 Myr for the progenitor, which implies a stellar mass of ∼60 M
⊙, using single-star evolution models, or a mass range of 35–80 M
⊙, considering a binary system. We also show that the progenitor of SN 2011fh exceeded the classical Eddington limit by a large factor in the months preceding the luminous outburst of 2011, suggesting strong super-Eddington winds as a possible mechanism for the observed mass loss. These findings favor an energetic outburst in a young and massive star, possibly a luminous blue variable.
Charge States, Helium Abundance, and FIP Bias of the Interplanetary CMEs Classified by Flares and Hot Channels

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Identifying the material source of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is crucial for understanding the generation mechanisms of CMEs. The composition parameters of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) associated with different activities on the Sun may be diverse, as the materials come from distinct regions or are generated by different processes. We classified ICMEs into three types by associated activities on the Sun, with (T1) and without (T3) flares and hot channels, and only associated with flares (T2). The composition parameters of each type of ICMEs were analyzed. We found that all CMEs with hot channels are accompanied by flares, and strong flares are all associated with hot channels in our database. The average length of the filaments in T1 cases are much shorter than those in T3 cases. The average charge states of iron (Q
Fe) and helium abundance (A
He) for T3 ICMEs are less than 12% and 7%, respectively. The Q
Fe and A
He for T1 ICMEs present clear bimodal distributions with the minimum between two peaks at 12% and 7%, respectively. Nearly two-thirds of the hot plasma (with higher Q
Fe) inside ICMEs is associated with higher A
He. The Q
Fe and A
He are both positively correlated with the flare intensities. The A
He and filament scales are not explicitly linked to each other. The statistical results demonstrate that the material contribution of the filaments to ICMEs is low and more than half of the hot materials inside ICMEs originate from the chromosphere in our database. We suggest that they are heated by the chromospheric evaporation process at the hot channel (flux rope) footpoint regions before and/or during the flaring process.
A Disk Instability Model for the Quasi-periodic Eruptions of GSN 069

Published: April 2022

Abstract
GSN 069 is a recently discovered quasi-periodic eruption (QPE) source recurring about every 9 hr. The mechanism for the QPEs of GSN 069 is still unclear. In this work, a disk instability model is constructed to explain GSN 069 based on Pan et al. (PLC21), where the authors proposed a toy model for the repeating changing-look active galactic nuclei. We improve the work of PLC21 by including a nonzero viscous torque condition on the inner boundary of the disk and adopting a general form for the viscous stress torque in the Kerr metric. It is found that the 0.4–2 keV light curves, the light curves at different energy bands, and the phase-resolved X-ray spectrum of GSN 069 can all be qualitatively reproduced by our model. Furthermore, the profiles of light curves in QPEs can be significantly changed by the parameter μ in the viscous torque equation, which implies that our model may also be applied to other QPEs.
Hot Circumsingle Disks Drive Binary Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Binary black hole (BBH) mergers, particularly those with component masses in the pair-instability gap, may be produced by hierarchical mergers in the disks surrounding Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). While the interaction of an embedded BBH with an AGN disk is typically assumed to facilitate a merger, recent high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations challenge this assumption. However, these simulations often have simplified treatments for gas thermodynamics. In this work, we model the possible consequence of various feedback from an embedded BBH with a simple model that maintains an enhanced temperature profile around each binary component. We show that when the minidisks around each BH become hotter than the background by a factor of three, the BBH orbital evolution switches from expansion to contraction. By analyzing the gravitational torque profile, we find that this change in direction is driven by a weakening of the minidisk spirals and their positive torque on the binary. Our results highlight the important role of thermodynamics around BBHs and its effect on their orbital evolution, suggesting that AGN disks could be efficient factories for BBH mergers.
La démographie des mariages de même sexe en Australie : résultats de la première année après leur légalisation
Authors: Shalley Fiona , Wilson Tom 
Published: April 2022

Fin 2017, l’Australie a été le 27 e pays à légaliser le mariage de couples de même sexe, mais on sait peu de choses sur les caractéristiques des conjoints. Pour établir le profil démographique de ces couples, un jeu de données sans équivalent concernant tous les mariages australiens en 2018 a été constitué à partir des informations figurant dans les registres des États et des Territoires. Les estimations de la population représentée par ces minorités sexuelles en Australie ont permis pour la première fois de calculer des taux de nuptialité pour la population âgée de 18 ans et plus. Le taux de nuptialité des couples de femmes était supérieur à celui des couples d’hommes, et près de deux fois supérieur à celui des conjoints de sexe différent. Les couples d’époux de même sexe étaient généralement plus âgés, tandis que les mariages de couples de femmes avaient plus de chance de compter des enfants nés d’un précédent mariage. Les données sur le mariage en Australie et les nombreuses observations portant sur les mariages de couples de même sexe dans une sélection d’autres pays sont cohérentes, mais les chiffres enregistrés en Australie ont été supérieurs à ceux mesurés dans les autres pays la première année suivant la légalisation.
« Funestes secrets » et révolution contraceptive silencieuse dans la France du XVIII e siècle : « C’est le secret du vinaigrier »
Authors: Drewett Laura 
Published: April 2022

La population française a été la première en Europe à effectuer sa transition de la fécondité, devançant les autres pays d’un siècle. On discerne encore mal à ce jour comment s’est opéré au xviii e siècle ce bouleversement : forces socioéconomiques, nouvelles méthodes de contrôle des naissances ou évolution des mentalités. Cet article étudie dans quelle mesure les spermicides rudimentaires ont contribué au changement de régime de fécondité en France, en montrant comment ils ont été normalisés et démocratisés sous forme de produits féminins intimes aux propriétés astringentes lors de la révolution de la consommation. Étant donné la correspondance entre l’utilisation de ces produits et la transition de la fécondité, on peut se demander si ces astringents étaient devenus de facto des moyens de contrôler les naissances. Cet article montre comment un marché clandestin de romans pornographiques a permis de diffuser des méthodes contraceptives intravaginales auprès de la population. Une réévaluation des textes philosophiques et démographiques suggère que ces astringents ont pu freiner la fécondité jusque dans les zones rurales. Cette innovation, associée à une révolution de la consommation centrée sur les apparences, a pu accompagner une montée de l’individualisme et émanciper les femmes par rapport à leur rôle traditionnel de mère.

Les pratiques de certification et de codage des causes initiales de décès ne sont pas toutes les mêmes, ce qui peut nuire à la pertinence et la fiabilité des statistiques de mortalité par cause. La cohérence de ces données au sein d’un même pays peut être considérée comme un critère de qualité. Cet article évalue la cohérence à l’échelle infranationale des statistiques sur les causes de décès en Russie, en Allemagne, aux États-Unis et en France. On estime la part respective des principaux groupes de causes dans les structures de mortalité régionales, et on les compare aux moyennes interrégionales. Ces écarts à la moyenne sont présentés sur des matrices de cartes thermiques qui permettent d’identifier les combinaisons cause-région les plus éloignées des moyennes, les causes présentant une forte variabilité infranationale, ainsi que les régions dont la structure de mortalité est particulière. C’est en France que les données sur les causes de décès sont les plus cohérentes d’une région à l’autre, et en Russie que la part des valeurs aberrantes est la plus élevée. On constate également des différences selon la difficulté à diagnostiquer les causes de décès : la variabilité interrégionale diminue avec le degré de spécificité des symptômes permettant le diagnostic. Plus le diagnostic est difficile, plus les écarts interrégionaux sont importants.
Interaction of lncRNA-CR33942 with Dif/Dorsal Facilitates Antimicrobial Peptide Transcriptions and Enhances Drosophila Toll Immune Responses

Published: April 2022

Abstract
The Drosophila Toll signaling pathway mainly responds to Gram-positive (G+) bacteria or fungal infection, which is highly conserved with mammalian TLR signaling pathway. Although many positive and negative regulators involved in the immune response of the Toll pathway have been identified in Drosophila, the roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Drosophila Toll immune responses are poorly understood to date. In this study, our results demonstrate that lncRNA-CR33942 is mainly expressed in the nucleus and upregulated after Micrococcus luteus infection. Especially, lncRNA-CR33942 not only modulates differential expressions of multiple antimicrobial peptide genes but also affects the Drosophila survival rate during response to G+ bacterial infection based on the transiently overexpressing and the knockdown lncRNA-CR33942 assays in vivo. Mechanically, lncRNA-CR33942 interacts with the NF-κB transcription factors Dorsal-related immunity factor/Dorsal to promote the transcriptions of antimicrobial peptides drosomycin and metchnikowin, thus enhancing Drosophila Toll immune responses. Taken together, this study identifies lncRNA-CR33942 as a positive regulator of Drosophila innate immune response to G+ bacterial infection to facilitate Toll signaling via interacting with Dorsal-related immunity factor/Dorsal. It would be helpful to reveal the roles of lncRNAs in Toll immune response in Drosophila and provide insights into animal innate immunity.

Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms underpin the elaborate activities of essential transcription factors in lymphocyte development. Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1) is a chromatin remodeler that orchestrates the spatial and temporal actions of transcription factors. Previous studies have revealed the significance of SATB1 in T cell lineage. However, whether and how SATB1 controls B cell lineage development is yet to be clarified. In this study, we show that SATB1 is an important factor during splenic B cell maturation. By analyzing SATB1/Tomato reporter mice, we determined the dynamic fluctuation of SATB1 expression in the B cell lineage. Although SATB1 expression decreased to minimal levels during B cell differentiation in the bone marrow, it resurged markedly in naive B cells in the spleen. The expression was dramatically downregulated upon Ag-induced activation. Splenic naive B cells were subdivided into two categories, namely SATB1high and SATB1−/low, according to their SATB1 expression levels. SATB1high naive B cells were less susceptible to death and greater proliferative than were SATB1−/low cells during incubation with an anti-IgM Ab. Additionally, SATB1high cells tended to induce the expression of MHC class II, CD86, and CD83. Accordingly, naive B cells from B lineage–specific SATB1 conditional knockout mice were more susceptible to apoptosis than that in the control group upon anti-IgM Ab stimulation in vitro. Furthermore, conditional knockout mice were less capable of producing Ag-specific B cells after immunization. Collectively, our findings suggest that SATB1 expression increases in naive B cells and plays an important role in their survival and maturation.

Published: April 2022

Introduction:
Intracranial aneurysms are the one of most complicated conditions confronted by a neurosurgeon. Even though endovascular procedure is preferred, open surgery and clipping of the aneurysm still remains gold standard procedure for many aneurysms. Proximal control of the parent vessel remains one of the most critical steps in clipping the aneurysms and this can be achieved by various ways such as temporary clipping and transient cardiac standstill using adenosine. Temporary clipping is associated with complications such as infarct and injury to the vessel, whereas temporary hypotension using adenosine provides a way for successful clipping of the aneurysm. Here, we present our experience with adenosine in patients undergoing clipping of aneurysms in our institution between 2017 and 2020.

Methodology:
It is a retrospective cohort study conducted on patients undergoing craniotomy and clipping of aneurysms and in those where adenosine is not contraindicated. Patients are divided into Group A where adenosine is not used and Group B where adenosine is used.

Results:
In Group B, where adenosine is used, clipping was easier, with less incidence of intraoperative ruptures, less usage of Temporary clip (TC) and less incidence of infarct, reduce clipping time with no side effects.

Conclusion:
Adenosine-induced transient cardiac arrest and hypotension are a safe and effective method in facilitating aneurysm clipping.
Accuracy of Emergency Department Chest Pain Patients’ Reporting of Coronary Disease History

Published: April 2022

Introduction:
History is an important component of emergency department risk stratification for chest pain patients. We hypothesized that a significant portion of patients would not be able to accurately report their history of coronary artery disease (CAD) and diagnostic testing.

Methods:
We prospectively enrolled a convenience sample of a cohort of adult ED patients with a chief complaint of chest pain. They completed a structured survey that included questions regarding prior testing for CAD and cardiac history. Study authors performed a structured chart review within the electronic medical record for our 6-hospital system. Results of testing for CAD, cardiac interventions, and chart diagnoses of CAD/acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were recorded. Categorical data were analyzed by Chi-square and continuous data by logistic regression.

Results:
About 196 patients were enrolled; mean age 57 ± 15 years, 48% female, 67% Hispanic, 50% income <$20,000/year. About 43% (95% confidence interval [CI] 35%–51%) of patients stated that they did not have CAD, yet medical records indicated that they were CAD+. With increasing age, patients were more likely to accurately report the absence of CAD (P < 0.001). There was no association between patients reporting no CAD, but CAD+ in records with respect to the following characteristics: female gender (P = 0.37), Hispanic race (P = 0.73), income (P = 0.41), less than or equal to high school education (P = 0.11), and private insurance (P = 0.71). For patients with prior AMI, 7.2% (95% CI 2.7%–11%) reported no prior history of AMI.

Conclusions:
Within our study group from a predominantly poor, Hispanic population, patients had a poor recall for the presence of CAD in their medical history.
