Dirac-type results for tilings and coverings in ordered graphs
Authors: Freschi Andrea , Treglown Andrew 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
A recent paper of Balogh, Li and Treglown [3] initiated the study of Dirac-type problems for ordered graphs. In this paper, we prove a number of results in this area. In particular, we determine asymptotically the minimum degree threshold for forcing

(i)
a perfect H-tiling in an ordered graph, for any fixed ordered graph H of interval chromatic number at least

$3$

;

(ii)
an H-tiling in an ordered graph G covering a fixed proportion of the vertices of G (for any fixed ordered graph H);

(iii)
an H-cover in an ordered graph (for any fixed ordered graph H).

The first two of these results resolve questions of Balogh, Li and Treglown, whilst (iii) resolves a question of Falgas-Ravry. Note that (i) combined with a result from [3] completely determines the asymptotic minimum degree threshold for forcing a perfect H-tiling. Additionally, we prove a result that, combined with a theorem of Balogh, Li and Treglown, asymptotically determines the minimum degree threshold for forcing an almost perfect H-tiling in an ordered graph (for any fixed ordered graph H). Our work therefore provides ordered graph analogues of the seminal tiling theorems of Kühn and Osthus [Combinatorica 2009] and of Komlós [Combinatorica 2000]. Each of our results exhibits some curious, and perhaps unexpected, behaviour. Our solution to (i) makes use of a novel absorbing argument.

AbstractAssume
$\mathsf {ZF} + \mathsf {AD}$
and all sets of reals are Suslin. Let
$\Gamma $
be a pointclass closed under
$\wedge $
,
$\vee $
,
$\forall ^{\mathbb {R}}$
, continuous substitution, and has the scale property. Let
$\kappa = \delta (\Gamma )$
be the supremum of the length of prewellorderings on
$\mathbb {R}$
which belong to
$\Delta = \Gamma \cap \check \Gamma $
. Let
$\mathsf {club}$
denote the collection of club subsets of
$\kappa $
. Then the countable length everywhere club uniformization holds for
$\kappa $
: For every relation
$R \subseteq {}^{<{\omega _1}}\kappa \times \mathsf {club}$
with the property that for all
$\ell \in {}^{<{\omega _1}}\kappa $
and clubs
$C \subseteq D \subseteq \kappa $
,
$R(\ell ,D)$
implies
$R(\ell ,C)$
, there is a uniformization function
$\Lambda : \mathrm {dom}(R) \rightarrow \mathsf {club}$
with the property that for all
$\ell \in \mathrm {dom}(R)$
,
$R(\ell ,\Lambda (\ell ))$
. In particular, under these assumptions, for all
$n \in \omega $

$\boldsymbol {\delta }^1_{2n + 1}$
satisfies the countable length everywhere club uniformization.
Certificate of Title: A Discussion of Contemporary Challenges to the Protection of Land Interests in Uganda
Authors: Nakayi Rose 
Published: November 2022

AbstractCertificates of title are a feature of the Torrens system of land registration which originated in Australia and which operates in Uganda. The system confers primary responsibility to register title, and guarantee its security, upon the state. A certificate of title is indefeasible and conclusive evidence of ownership, except in cases of fraud by the registered proprietor. This article uses a doctrinal legal research approach to analyse the legal framework on certificates of title, citing court decisions to give an interpretive lens to the law. It finds that the almost century-old system remains immature and its actualization is hampered by the socio-political context of Uganda. Certificates of title are a feature of a capitalist order and produce unfavourable outcomes, including fraud through double titling, illegal entries in the register and spurious caveats. Government needs to address the socio-political and administrative challenges inhibiting the evolution and practical application of the Torrens system in Uganda.
Psychotherapy for co-occurring symptoms of depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder in children and adults with autism spectrum disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Published: November 2022

AbstractIndividuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) struggle accessing psychotherapy services for comorbidities, including anxiety-, depressive- and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD). Apart from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anxiety in children with ASD, it is unclear whether psychotherapy is effective for these comorbid disorders.We therefore systematically reviewed any form of psychotherapy for co-occurring symptoms of anxiety, depression and OCD in individuals with ASD.Database searches were conducted until February 2022 using EMBASE, PsycINFO and PubMed. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) were included investigating any form of psychotherapy for symptoms of anxiety, depression and OCD in individuals with ASD. Summary data were extracted, and random-effects meta-analyses were conducted.For CBT 26 RCTs (n = 1251), and for social skills training (SST) 11 RCTs (n = 475) met criteria for inclusion. Pooled effect sizes indicated a moderate reduction of anxiety in children (g = −0.70) and a small reduction of depressive symptoms in adults (g = −0.39). For SST overall effect sizes were small for reduction of anxiety in children (g = −0.35) and adults (g = −0.34) and moderate for reduction of depressive symptoms in children (g = −0.50). Risk of bias was high in 18, moderate in 16 and low in 3 RCTs.Our results provide new and age-specific evidence that: (1) CBT is effective for reducing anxiety in children and to a lesser extent for depressive symptoms in adults with ASD; and (2) social skills interventions are effective for reducing anxiety in children and adults and for depressive symptoms in children with ASD.
Two challenges for ‘no-norms’ theism
Authors: Reilly James 
Published: November 2022

AbstractA number of theistic philosophers have recently denied that God is subject to moral and rational norms. At the same time, many theists employ epistemological and inductive arguments for the existence of God. I will argue that ‘no-norms’ theists cannot make use of such arguments: if God is not subject to norms – particularlyrationalnorms – then we can say nothing substantive about what kind of worlds God would be likely to create, and as such, we cannot predict the likelihood of any particular evidence given theism. What is more, I argue that this lack of constraint on God's creative act raises a serious sceptical challenge for no-norms theism.
‘There can be only one’: A response to Joseph C. Schmid
Authors: Gel Enric F. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractRecently, in response to an article of mine, Joseph C. Schmid has argued that some traditional theistic arguments for God's unicity are problematic in that they presuppose a controversial principle and conflict with Trinitarian theology. In this article, I answer Schmid's concerns. I defend one of the original arguments while advancing new ones, and I vindicate my abductive argument for theism over naturalism.
Mapping the itineraries of semiotic artefacts in the linguistic landscape of protest: The case of shields in Venezuela
Authors: Velásquez Urribarrí Jessica 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis study explores the emergence and developments through time of a semiotic artefact, the shield, used by demonstrators in violent anti-government protests in contemporary Venezuela. Drawing on the concept of discourse itineraries (Scollon 2008), the material and semiotic transformations this artefact underwent are mapped through various protest cycles, whilst considering the semiotic enrichment of century-long traditions of shields that inform the various functions they play within current day itineraries. The study concludes by discussing the advantages of using the concept of discourse itineraries for understanding moments in the life cycle of semiotic artefacts in the linguistic landscape and outlines future opportunities to expand the analysis of shields beyond the Venezuelan case.

Symmetry actions and brackets for adjoint-symmetries. II: Physical examples
Authors: Anco Stephen C. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractSymmetries and adjoint-symmetries are two fundamental (coordinate-free) structures of PDE systems. Recent work has developed several new algebraic aspects of adjoint-symmetries: three fundamental actions of symmetries on adjoint-symmetries; a Lie bracket on the set of adjoint-symmetries given by the range of a symmetry action; a generalised Noether (pre-symplectic) operator constructed from any non-variational adjoint-symmetry. These results are illustrated here by considering five examples of physically interesting nonlinear PDE systems – nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations, Navier-Stokes equations for compressible viscous fluid flow, surface-gravity water wave equations, coupled solitary wave equations and a nonlinear acoustic equation.

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjective:The school setting can provide an environment that supports healthy behaviours, including the provision of food. School food activities, that is, school feeding, are commonplace globally, but not well understood in the Pacific Islands region. The aim of this research is to explore learnings associated within existing school food programmes (SFP), and adoption resistors in those Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICT) without SFP, with the intent of improving current and future SFP interventions.Design:This observational cross-sectional study utilised four facilitated workshop sessions to explore SFP within an existing framework.Setting:Pacific Islands region.Participants:Fourteen participants representing the education and health sectors from eleven PICT, and two participants representing regional organisations.Results:Most countries reported some form of related policy, but key critical constraints to the use of SFP included local food environments, strategic alignment to organisational priorities, advocacy and organisational leadership, and community and cultural connections and collaboration. There are opportunities for integration of SFP into existing frameworks (i.e. Health Promoting Schools), increased collaboration, greater professional development and awareness activities, improved monitoring and evaluation, improved awareness of SFP and promotion of healthy eating for the wider school community.Conclusions:Given the current health, social and economic challenges faced by countries and territories in the Pacific Islands region, SFP should be considered as an opportunity for food provision and associated nutrition education for students and their wider community. Further research is needed to understand the critical constraints of SFP in this region and how to support stakeholders to advocate for, develop and sustain SFP that are contextually and culturally appropriate.

AbstractHigh-quality evidence from prospective longitudinal studies in humans is essential to testing hypotheses related to the developmental origins of health and disease. In this paper, the authors draw upon their own experiences leading birth cohorts with longitudinal follow-up into adulthood to describe specific challenges and lessons learned. Challenges are substantial and grow over time. Long-term funding is essential for study operations and critical to retaining study staff, who develop relationships with participants and hold important institutional knowledge and technical skill sets. To maintain contact, we recommend that cohorts apply multiple strategies for tracking and obtain as much high-quality contact information as possible before the child’s 18th birthday. To maximize engagement, we suggest that cohorts offer flexibility in visit timing, length, location, frequency, and type. Data collection may entail multiple modalities, even at a single collection timepoint, including measures that are self-reported, research-measured, and administrative with a mix of remote and in-person collection. Many topics highly relevant for adolescent and young adult health and well-being are considered to be private in nature, and their assessment requires sensitivity. To motivate ongoing participation, cohorts must work to understand participant barriers and motivators, share scientific findings, and provide appropriate compensation for participation. It is essential for cohorts to strive for broad representation including individuals from higher risk populations, not only among the participants but also the staff. Successful longitudinal follow-up of a study population ultimately requires flexibility, adaptability, appropriate incentives, and opportunities for feedback from participants.
Myocardial perfusion and function dichotomy in growth restricted preterm infants
Authors: Sehgal Arvind , Allison Beth J. , Miller Suzanne L. , Polglase Graeme R. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractCompared to preterm appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses, fetuses with fetal growth restriction (FGR) have earlier visualisation of coronary artery blood flow (CABF) but impaired cardiac function. This dichotomy remains uncharacterised during postnatal life. This study compared CABF and cardiac function in preterm FGR infants, against AGA infants during the postnatal period. FGR was defined as birthweight < 10thcentile for gestation and sex with absent/reversed antenatal umbilical artery Doppler. Diastolic CABF was measured in the left anterior descending coronary artery. Twenty-eight FGR infants were compared with 26 AGA infants (gestation and birthweight, 29.7 ± 1.3 vs 29.9 ± 1 weeks,P= 0.6 and 918 ± 174 vs 1398 ± 263g,P< 0.001, respectively). Echocardiography was performed in the second week of life. FGR infants had higher CABF (velocity time integral, 2.4 ± 0.9 vs 1.6 ± 0.8 cm,P= 0.002). Diastolic function was impaired (↑ trans-mitral E/A ratio in FGR infants; 0.84 ± 0.05 vs 0.79 ± 0.03,P= 0.0002) while the systolic function was also affected (mean velocity of circumferential fibre shortening [mVCFc], 1.9 ± 0.3 vs 2.7 ± 0.5 circ/s,P< 0.001). Indexing CABF to cardiac function noted significant differences between the groups (CABF: E/A [FGR vs AGA], 2.9 ± 1.1 vs 2.1 ± 1,P= 0.01 and CABF: mVCFc [FGR vs AGA], 1.3 ± 0.5 vs 0.6 ± 0.3,P< 0.001). Diastolic blood pressure (BP) was significantly higher, and CABF to diastolic BP ratio trended higher in FGR infants (30 ± 2 vs 25 ± 3 mmHg,P< 0.001 and 0.08 ± 0.03 vs 0.06 ± 0.03,P= 0.059, respectively). Greater CABF in FGR infants did not translate into better cardiac function. This dichotomy may be a persistent response to fetal hypoxaemia (fetal programming) and/or reflection of altered cardiac architecture.
Evaluating Policy Mood Measures in the American States
Authors: Harden Jeffrey J. , Pacheco Julianna , Wright Gerald C. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe scholarly exchange over approaches to measuring public preferences in the American states dates back several years. This introduction to the debate attempts to provide broad perspective on how scholars have conceptualized and measured policy mood among state mass publics in the past and the implications of those choices for theoretical and empirical questions in state politics. We frame the discussion around two questions: (1) what is the concept to be measured? and (2) how does the concept fit with the research question? We conclude with some insight on the future of the debate and its implications for state politics research.

AbstractHere we present results from FarGen Phase I exomes. This dataset is based on the FarGen cohort, which consists of 1,541 individuals from the isolated population of the Faroe Islands. The purpose of this cohort is to serve as a reference catalog of coding variants, and to conduct population genetic studies to better understand the genetic contribution to various diseases in the Faroese population. The first whole-exome data set comprise 465 individuals and a total of 148,267 genetic variants were discovered. Principle Component Analysis indicates that the population is isolated and weakly structured. The distribution of variants in various functional classes was compared with populations in the gnomAD dataset; the results indicated that the proportions were consistent across the cohorts, but probably due to a small sample size, the FarGen dataset contained relatively few rare variants. We identified 19 variants that are classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic in ClinVar; several of these variants are associated with monogenetic diseases with increased prevalence in the Faroe Islands. The results support previous studies, which indicate that the Faroe Islands is an isolated and weakly structured population. Future studies may elucidate the significance of the 19 pathogenic variants that were identified. The FarGen Phase I dataset is an important step for genetic research in the Faroese population, and the next phase of FarGen will increase the sample size and broaden the scope.

Published: November 2022

Abstract1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) and its synthetic analogues are important structural motifs in organic synthesis, particularly as diphosphine ligands with a C2-alkyl-linker chain. Since DPPE is known to bind to many metal centers in a bidentate fashion to stabilize the corresponding metal complex via the chelation effect originating from its entropic advantage over monodentate ligands, it is often used in transition-metal-catalyzed transformations. Symmetric DPPE derivatives (Ar12P−CH2−CH2−PAr12) are well-known and readily prepared, but electronically and sterically unsymmetric DPPE (Ar12P−CH2−CH2−PAr22; Ar1≠Ar2) ligands have been less explored, mostly due to the difficulties associated with their preparation. Here we report a synthetic method for both symmetric and unsymmetric DPPEs via radical difunctionalization of ethylene, a fundamental C2 unit, with two phosphine-centered radicals, which is guided by the computational analysis with the artificial force induced reaction (AFIR) method, a quantum chemical calculation-based automated reaction path search tool. The obtained unsymmetric DPPE ligands can coordinate to several transition-metal salts to form the corresponding complexes, one of which exhibits distinctly different characteristics than the corresponding symmetric DPPE–metal complex.

AbstractExploring an effective sepsis screening tool that can be widely implemented is important for improving the prognosis of sepsis worldwide. This study aimed to develop a new simple screening tool for sepsis (LIP scoring system) that includes the peripheral blood lymphocyte count, international normalized ratio, and procalcitonin level. In a single-center, prospective, observational study, 444 acute sepsis inpatients and 444 nonsepsis inpatients were ultimately included based on the Sepsis-3 and exclusion criteria. The differences in the Lym, INR, PCT level and other clinical biomarkers were compared between the two groups. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic analysis were used to establish a LIP screening tool for sepsis with a combination of biomarkers. The Kappa and McNemar tests were used to evaluate the differences between the LIP screening results (LIP score ≥ 3) and Sepsis-3 criteria (SOFA score ≥ 2). Logistic regression analysis showed that the lymphocyte count, INR, PCT level, platelets, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prothrombin time (PT) were independent risk factors for the development of sepsis. The ROC analysis showed that the lymphocyte count, INR, and PCT level had high area under the ROC curve values (AUROC (95% CI): Lym 0.84 (0.810–0.860), INR 0.921 (0.902–0.938), PCT level 0.928 (0.909–0.944)). The LIP tool had satisfactory screening efficacy for sepsis (sensitivity, 92.8%; specificity, 94.1%), and a LIP score equal to or greater than 3 points had good agreement with Sepsis-3 criteria in the diagnosis of sepsis (Kappa = 0862 in the Kappa test and P = 0.512 in the McNemar test). The LIP tool has satisfactory sensitivity and specificity for sepsis screening, and it can be used for rapid screening of patients with sepsis in outpatient and emergency departments or in economically underdeveloped areas with limited resources.

AbstractLike humans, common marmoset monkeys utilize family cooperation for infant care, but the neural mechanisms underlying primate parental behaviors remain largely unknown. We investigated infant care behaviors of captive marmosets in family settings and caregiver-infant dyadic situations. Marmoset caregivers exhibited individual variations in parenting styles, comprised of sensitivity and tolerance toward infants, consistently across infants, social contexts and multiple births. Seeking the neural basis of these parenting styles, we demonstrated that the calcitonin receptor-expressing neurons in the marmoset medial preoptic area (MPOA) were transcriptionally activated during infant care, as in laboratory mice. Further, site-specific neurotoxic lesions of this MPOA subregion, termed the cMPOA, significantly reduced alloparental tolerance and total infant carrying, while sparing general health and other social or nonsocial behaviors. These results suggest that the molecularly-defined neural site cMPOA is responsible for mammalian parenting, thus provide an invaluable model to study the neural basis of parenting styles in primates.
