Existential nationalism: Russia's war against Ukraine
Authors: Knott Eleanor 
Published: September 2022

Abstract‘If Russia stops fighting, there will be no war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine’ is the sentiment used by Ukrainian protesters mobilising against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Such a sentiment signifies the stakes of a war where Ukraine is a democratic nation‐state fighting for its right to exist against a Russian invasion. Meanwhile, Russia is fighting for a version of Ukraine that is subservient to Russia's idea of what Ukraine should be as a nation‐state: under a Russian hegemon geopolitically, where Ukraine's national idea and interpretation of history can be vetted and vetoed by the Russian state. While nationalism scholarship equips us to study Russia's war against Ukraine through the lens of Russian ethnic nationalism and Ukrainian civic nationalism, the ethnic/civic dichotomy falls short of unpacking the more pernicious logics that pervade Russia's intentions and actions towards Ukraine (demilitarisation and de‐Nazification). Instead, this article explores the logics of Russia's war and Ukraine's resistance through the concept of existential nationalism where existential nationalism is Russia's motivation to pursue war, whatever the costs, and Ukraine's motivation to fight with everything it has.

AbstractAimGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common complication in pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism and effects of long‐noncoding RNA maternally expressed 8 (lncRNA‐MEG8) in GDM.MethodsTargeted interactions involving lncRNA‐MEG8 and miR‐296‐3p were initially predicted using starBase software and then confirmed using dual‐luciferase reporter gene analysis. The expression levels of lncRNA‐MEG8 and miR‐296‐3p in peripheral blood samples from patients with GDM were measured using reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was used to evaluate the overall levels of insulin and insulin secretion. Additionally, MTT and flow cytometric methods were used to detect cell viability and apoptosis. Cell apoptosis‐associated proteins were determined by western blotting.ResultsOur results indicated that lncRNA‐MEG8 is a potential target of miR‐296‐3p. lncRNA‐MEG8 level was higher, whereas that of miR‐296‐3p was lower in patients with GDM than in healthy individuals. LncRNA‐MEG8‐siRNA promoted insulin content and secretion. Furthermore, MEG8‐siRNA increased cell viability and decreased apoptosis. However, these changes were reversed by an miR‐296‐3p inhibitor. Moreover, a miR‐296‐3p mimic had the same effect on INS‐1 cells as MEG8‐siRNA, as evidenced by enhanced insulin secretion, cell viability, and reduced apoptosis.ConclusionLncRNA‐MEG8‐siRNA promotes pancreatic β‐cell function by upregulating miR‐296‐3p.

AbstractDespite long‐existing calls to address alarming racial/ethnic gaps in severe maternal morbidity (SMM), research that considers the impact of intersecting social inequities on SMM risk remains scarce. Invoking intersectionality theory, we sought to assess SMM risk at the nexus of racial/ethnic marginalization, weathering, and neighborhood/individual socioeconomic disadvantage. We used birth hospitalization records from California across 20 years (1997–2017,N= 9,806,406) on all live births ≥20 weeks gestation. We estimated adjusted average predicted probabilities of SMM at the combination of levels of race/ethnicity, age, and neighborhood deprivation or individual socioeconomic status (SES). The highest risk of SMM was observed among Black birthing people aged ≥35 years who either resided in the most deprived neighborhoods or had the lowest SES. Black birthing people conceptualized to be better off due to their social standing (aged 20–34 years and living in the least deprived neighborhoods or college graduates) had comparable and at times worse risk than White birthing people conceptualized to be worse off (aged ≥35 years and living in the most deprived neighborhoods or had a high‐school degree or less). Our findings highlight the need to explicitly address structural racism as the driver of racial/ethnic health inequities and the imperative to incorporate intersectional approaches.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the prevalence of medial vascular calcifications in the oral and maxillofacial region and their association with systemic diseases.Materials and MethodsThe study included 211 consecutive patients with systemic diseases (January 2015–May 2016). Medical history and radiographic images were evaluated. Univariate analysis (t‐test) was performed for continuous variables (age). The Chi square test was applied for the categorical variables (Mönckeberg medial arteriosclerosis [MMA], gender).ResultsThere was a 6.2% prevalence of MMA. The mean age of patients with MMA was 65.46 ± 13.38. The prevalence of kidney disease in patients with MMA was significantly higher than in those without MMA (p < 0.001). This finding was maintained even after adjusting for other systemic diseases (OR = 31.84 [8.63–136.78]).ConclusionA significant prevalence of MMA in kidney disease patients was observed in this pilot study.
Ablation of glucosinolate accumulation in the oil crop Camelina sativa by targeted mutagenesis of genes encoding the transporters GTR1 and GTR2 and regulators of biosynthesis MYB28 and MYB29

Published: September 2022

SummaryCamelina sativa is an oil crop with low input costs and resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. The presence of glucosinolates, plant metabolites with adverse health effects, restricts the use of camelina for human and animal nutrition. Cas9 endonuclease‐based targeted mutagenesis of the three homeologs of each of the glucosinolate transporters CsGTR1 and CsGTR2 caused a strong decrease in glucosinolate amounts, highlighting the power of this approach for inactivating multiple genes in a hexaploid crop. Mutagenesis of the three homeologs of each of the transcription factors CsMYB28 and CsMYB29 resulted in the complete loss of glucosinolates, representing the first glucosinolate‐free Brassicaceae crop. The oil and protein contents and the fatty acid composition of the csgtr1csgtr2 and csmyb28csmyb29 mutant seeds were not affected. The decrease and elimination of glucosinolates improves the quality of the oil and press cake of camelina, which thus complies with international standards regulating glucosinolate levels for human consumption and animal feeding.

AimValidating the vulnerabilities and pathologies underlying treatment‐resistant schizophrenia (TRS) is an important challenge in optimizing treatment. Gyrification and surface area (SA), reflecting neurodevelopmental features, have been linked to genetic vulnerability to schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to identify gyrification and SA abnormalities specific to TRS.MethodsWe analyzed 3T magnetic resonance imaging findings of 24 healthy controls (HCs), 20 responders to first‐line antipsychotics (FL‐Resp), and 41 patients with TRS, including 19 clozapine responders (CLZ‐Resp) and 22 FL‐ and clozapine‐resistant patients (patients with ultratreatment‐resistant schizophrenia [URS]). The local gyrification index (LGI) and associated SA were analyzed across groups. Diagnostic accuracy was verified by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsBoth CLZ‐Resp and URS had lower LGI values than HCs (P = 0.041, Hedges g [gH] = 0.75; P = 0.013, gH = 0.96) and FL‐Resp (P = 0.007, gH = 1.00; P = 0.002, gH = 1.31) in the left medial parietal cortex (Lt‐MPC). In addition, both CLZ‐Resp and URS had lower SA in the Lt‐MPC than FL‐Resp (P < 0.001, gH = 1.22; P < 0.001, gH = 1.75). LGI and SA were positively correlated in non‐TRS (FL‐Resp) (ρ = 0.64, P = 0.008) and TRS (CLZ‐Resp + URS) (ρ = 0.60, P < 0.001). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for non‐TRS versus TRS with LGI and SA in the Lt‐MPC were 0.79 and 0.85, respectively. SA in the Lt‐MPC was inversely correlated with negative symptoms (ρ = −0.40, P = 0.018) and clozapine plasma levels (ρ = −0.35, P = 0.042) in TRS.ConclusionLGI and SA in the Lt‐MPC, a functional hub in the default‐mode network, were abnormally reduced in TRS compared with non‐TRS. Thus, altered LGI and SA in the Lt‐MPC might be structural features associated with genetic vulnerability to TRS.

AbstractBackgroundLack of specific protocols for neonatal donation contributes to the rarity of neonatal donors. In this study, we evaluate the impact of the implementation of a neonatal donation protocol in our NICU.MethodsIn this single‐center study, we conducted a retrospective chart review of neonatal deaths in our NICU from January 2013 to January 2022. The study was divided into two periods: before and after the implementation of a neonatal donation protocol. The referral rates of potential neonatal donors to the OPO in the two periods were compared using the chi‐square test. A p value < .05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsSixty‐four infants were reviewed. Seven (10.9%) met the inclusion criteria for potential neonatal donors after DCC. The referral rate of potential neonatal donors increased from 2.5% to 16.7% after the implementation of this protocol (p = .041), and one infant (4.1%) became an effective heart‐valve donor.ConclusionThe implementation of a local neonatal donation protocol could have contributed to increase the referral rate of potential neonatal donors in our NICU. Following the implementation of a local neonatal donation protocol, we were able to perform a heart‐valve donation for the first time in our unit.

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this systematic review was to determine the effectiveness of non‐pharmacological community‐based nursing interventions for smoking cessation in adults.MethodStudies published between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2017 were comprehensively searched to 14 databases. Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies was used to examine the methodological quality of the included studies. The obtained studies were listed on a code table by title, summary, and author/s’ name. A narrative synthesis was used interpreting the data. This study was registered to PROSPERO (ID: CRD42018088007).ResultsStrong‐quality rated three randomized controlled studies were included. Nurses were found to perform intensive behavioral support, brief‐advice and mTobacco cessation interventions. These were effective on changing knowledge, belief and attitudes. No sufficient evidence on the cessation rate and the non‐relapse rate was found.DiscussionThis review puts forward that non‐pharmacological community‐based smoking cessation interventions by nurses has an impact on changing knowledge, belief and attitudes in adult smokers. Findings can encourage public health nurses to use their counsellor role more actively. Improving the health literacy of the adult smokers via these findings can facilitate their intention to behavior change. Findings can be a useful resource for policy makers and governments in controlling the smoking epidemic.

AbstractChemical castration, that is the reduction of circulating testosterone concentrations to castrate levels by administration of a GnRH‐agonist implant, is a popular alternative to surgical castration in male dogs. Detailed information concerning the pituitary‐testicular axis following administration of a GnRH‐agonist implant is still scarce. Therefore, GnRH‐stimulation tests were performed in male dogs, prior to and after surgical and chemical castration. This approach also allowed us to determine plasma concentrations of testosterone and oestradiol in intact male dogs for future reference and to directly compare the effects of surgical and chemical castration on the pituitary‐testicular axis. In intact male dogs (n = 42) of different breeds GnRH administration induced increased plasma LH, FSH, oestradiol and testosterone concentrations. After surgical castration basal and GnRH‐induced plasma FSH and LH concentrations increased pronouncedly. Additionally, basal and GnRH‐induced plasma oestradiol and testosterone concentrations decreased after surgical castration. After chemical castration, with a slow‐release implant containing the GnRH‐agonist deslorelin, plasma LH and FSH concentrations were lower than prior to castration and lower compared with the same interval after surgical castration. Consequently, plasma oestradiol and testosterone concentrations were lowered to values similar to those after surgical castration. GnRH administration to the chemically castrated male dogs induced a significant increase in the plasma concentrations of LH, but not of FSH. In conclusion, after administration of the deslorelin implant, the plasma concentrations of oestradiol and testosterone did not differ significantly from the surgically castrated animals. After GnRH‐stimulation, none of the dogs went to pre‐treatment testosterone levels. However, at the moment of assessment at 4,4 months (mean 133 days ± SEM 4 days), the pituitary gonadotrophs were responsive to GnRH in implanted dogs. The increase of LH, but not of FSH, following GnRH administration indicates a differential regulation of the release of these gonadotrophins, which needs to be considered when GnRH‐stimulation tests are performed in implanted dogs.
Consistent Bayesian information criterion based on a mixture prior for possibly high‐dimensional multivariate linear regression models
Authors: Kono Haruki , Kubokawa Tatsuya 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn the problem of selecting variables in a multivariate linear regression model, we derive new Bayesian information criteria based on a prior mixing a smooth distribution and a delta distribution. Each of them can be interpreted as a fusion of the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian information criterion (BIC). Inheriting their asymptotic properties, our information criteria are consistent in variable selection in both the large‐sample and the high‐dimensional asymptotic frameworks. In numerical simulations, variable selection methods based on our information criteria choose the true set of variables with high probability in most cases.

ABSTRACT

Objective:
This scoping review will identify, characterize, and classify co-curricular interprofessional education activities and practices.

Introduction:
According to the World Health Organization, interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with one another to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. As such, interprofessional education is imperative to health professions education. Globally, competency frameworks and guidelines have urged educators to reach consensus about interprofessional education terminology and to integrate this form of education into formal curricula. Voluntary interprofessional education that takes place outside formal curricula (ie, co-curricular) is frequently used to overcome well-documented barriers (eg, discordant academic calendars). We will explore the global literature to identify, characterize, and classify published examples of co-curricular interprofessional education activities.

Inclusion criteria:
This review will consider voluntary interprofessional education involving students from at least two different health professions. These education activities will take place outside the formal curriculum and will not result in transcript designation.

Methods:
The search strategy will aim to locate primary studies from peer-reviewed journals indexed in MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, ERIC, and Academic Search Complete. The results will be limited to English-language publications from 2009 until the present. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts, and potentially relevant papers will be assessed in detail. Data will be extracted using a tool developed by the reviewers. Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize the data, which will be presented in diagrammatic, tabular, or other relevant formats.
Effect of Welding Mode on Remote Laser Stitch Welding of Zinc-Coated Steel With Different Sheet Thickness Combinations

Published: September 2022

Abstract
This paper studied the effects of two welding modes, i.e., keyhole penetration and full penetration, on laser welding of two zinc-coated steel stack-ups of the same total sheet thickness but different sheet thickness combinations. The effects of welding modes on keyhole and spatter behavior were studied. It was found that keyhole penetration welding led to little spatter and mass loss for a thick-gage stack-up of the same top and bottom sheet thickness (two 1.5 mm zinc-coated steel sheets, viz., Stack-up S). This was confirmed by numerically calculated low Zout values which indicate a low potential of spatter due to zinc outgassing insufficiency. For a stack-up of thin top and thick bottom sheet combination (1.1 mm/1.9 mm, viz., Stack-up D), full penetration mode is more preferred generating less spatter than the keyhole penetration mode. This was attributed to an enlarged keyhole size at the faying interface in the full penetration mode and the relatively thinner top sheet (1.1 mm thick) compared to the bottom sheet (1.9 mm thick). It was confirmed by the low average and maximum values of Zout. In summary, to reduce the spatter in laser welding of zinc-coated steel, the keyhole penetration mode welding is preferred for the stack-up with the top and bottom sheets of similar thickness, and the full penetration mode is more suitable for the stack-up having a much thinner top sheet than the bottom sheet.

Abstract
This work presents an approach to the contextual integration of fluid selection and compressor design for the cycle design of efficient industrial heat pumps. The vapor-compression cycle of an air–water heat pump operated at 42 °C source and 82 °C target temperature is investigated as a theoretical case study. An optimization study is performed, which includes the assessment of suitable refrigerants. Besides well-known single-component refrigerants, various binary mixtures are considered. The cycle optimization aims at simultaneously providing high cycle coefficient of performance and volumetric heating capacity. Cycle operation with the mixtures R-41/trans-2-butene (10, 90 mol. %) and CO2/R-161 (40, 60 mol. %) yields the highest values of these parameters, respectively. For further evaluation, centrifugal compressors operated with each of the two promising mixtures are designed with an in-house meanline program. In addition, the compressor design for the hydrofluoro-olefin refrigerant R-1234ze(Z) is considered as a reference. All designs are reviewed with respect to cycle as well as compressor design criteria and the applied methodology will assist designers in identifying key decision variables. The comprehensive design assessment suggests that CO2/R-161 (40, 60 mol. %) provides the best overall solution for an efficient cycle with a compact compressor design.
Complete Stability Analysis and Optimization of the Extended Delayed Resonator With Virtual Natural Frequency Adjustment

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe delayed resonator (DR) is known for its ideal vibration suppression and simple control logic, but its operable frequency range is also known limited due to stability issues and practical hardware constraints. To extend the limited operable frequency range, we inject an additional nondelayed control term into the feedback loop of the classic DR such that the equivalent natural frequency of the DR can be real-time tuned, so the creation of DR with virtual natural frequency adjustment (DRV). Besides, we take the difference between the adjustable natural frequency of the DRV and the excitation frequency as a control parameter to further enhance the vibration suppression leading to optionally tuned parameters for a given excitation. For this, we start with the complete stability analyses of the DRV and the associated coupled system following independent and purely analytical approaches, and the obtained nonconservative stability maps reveal DRV's greatly extended operable frequency range. Given the optional tuned parameters, an optimization procedure aiming for a faster transient process and stronger robustness is proposed to determine the optimal parameter composition. Finally, three numerical case studies are prepared to demonstrate the benefits of the DRV compared with the classic DR. In addition to extending the operable frequency range of the classic DR, this work simplifies the stability analysis of the existing DR investigations and provides a guideline for the tuned control parameter design if they are optional.
