Published: February 2025

Abstract
The photophysical properties of fluorescent nucleobase analogs play a crucial role in nucleic acids detection and the investigation of their structural and functional characteristics. In this study, we computationally designed a series of quasi-intrinsic fluorescent probes according to natural guanine (G) for selectively identifying covalent N4-acetylcytosine (4acC), a base that is highly correlated with active transcription and gene expression. This work aims to gain insight into the role of 4acC in biological regulation with minimal perturbation to the native DNA structure. The results indicate that these G-analogs possess extended π-conjugation in comparison with the natural guanine, which could yield efficient fluorescence emission and red-shifted absorption. Especially, the 8-thienyl-2’-deoxyguanosine (ThG) exhibits the highest fluorescence intensity and avoids self-absorption on account of the large Stokes shifts (>67 nm). What is more, the fluorescence of ThG is unaffected to base pairing with natural cytosine, while the obvious fluorescence quenching is observed by virtue of the excited state intermolecular charge transfer after pairing with 4acC, so it is supposed as a promising biosensor for monitoring the fluorescence changes in the absence or presence of the 4acC. Additionally, the impact of binding deoxyribose on photophysical properties is explored to guarantee the biological applicability of the bright G-analogs in real environment.
Cross-Modal Pedestrian Re-Identification Technique Based on Multi-Scale Feature Attention and Strategy Balancing
Authors: Lai Yiqiang 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper proposes a cross-modal pedestrian re-recognition technique based on the balance of attention and strategy of multi-scale features. The technique improves recognition accuracy by integrating information from different scales, dynamically adjusting attention, and balancing contributions from different modalities. The model architecture includes a multi-scale feature extraction module, an attention mechanism, a strategy balancing mechanism, and a classifier. Experimental results show that the proposed model exhibits superior performance on several public datasets such as Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID, and CUHK03, especially on the Market-1501 dataset, where MAP and Rank-1 reach 0.83 and 0.89, respectively, which outperforms the existing baseline model and other methods. In addition, by integrating RGB and Thermal modal information, the model's recognition ability is further improved, showing the effectiveness of cross-modal information integration.
Jewish Law and International Law
Authors: Broyde Michael J , Elazar-De Mota Yehonatan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This book explores the complex relationship between Jewish law (halakhah) and international law, emphasizing the shared characteristics and potential synergies between these two legal systems. Both systems transcend national boundaries and operate beyond territorial constraints, offering frameworks for justice in a globalized world. The authors delve into how Jewish law incorporates local and international legal principles in areas like war, humanitarian law, copyright law, and governance.
The manuscript is divided into eight chapters, each addressing a specific aspect of Jewish and international law. It begins by introducing both legal systems and their historical contexts, then moves into case studies where Jewish law has either incorporated or resisted international legal norms. The authors analyze key areas such as the ethical considerations in wartime conduct, the role of copyright and intellectual property, and the broader historical dialogue between Jewish law and international legal standards. Furthermore, the book examines the role of Jewish legal thought in navigating antisemitic legal systems and envisions how future developments in both Jewish and international law could promote justice on a global scale.
A major theme of the work is the nonterritorial nature of both legal systems and their reliance on judges and interpretative frameworks. Through this comparative study, the authors encourage scholars from both disciplines to engage in a deeper dialogue, proposing that both legal systems can learn from each other and contribute to a more just global order.

Abstract
In the era of the decarbonization economy, supercapacitors offer a realistic solution to the energy storage problem due to their rapidly chargeable electrical double layers. Here, we present the energy performance of ultrahigh surface area nanoporous carbon materials having abundant hierarchical micro/mesopores obtained by in situ potassium carbonate (K2CO3) activation of polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel. The resulting nanoporous carbon materials obtained by the carbonization of the hydrogel in the temperature range 600 to 900 °C possess high BET surface areas up to ca. 3038 m2 g-1 for the material prepared at 800 °C (PAM4-K800). Electron microscopy analyses revealed the formation of micro/mesoporous amorphous carbon structures. Surface composition and nitrogen and oxygen doping of the carbon matrix were verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical supercapacitance performance was tested using a three-electrode system in an aqueous electrolyte (1M H2SO4). The optimal sample (PAM4-K800) achieved the highest specific capacitance value of 313.3 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1, with excellent capacitance retention of 97.5% after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles. Furthermore, a symmetric supercapacitor device prepared using the optimum material delivered a high energy density of 12.3 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 309.4 W kg-1 and an outstanding cycle life of 95.9% after 10,000 cycles. The outstanding electrochemical performance of PAM hydrogel-derived carbon materials makes them promising candidates for high-performance supercapacitor applications.
Faith and Assimilation: Italian Immigrants in the US
Authors: Gagliarducci Stefano , Tabellini Marco 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We study the effects of ethnic religious organizations on immigrant assimilation, assembling novel data on Italian Catholic churches across US counties between 1890 and 1920. Exploiting variation in the timing of church entry, we find that Italian churches reduced social and economic assimilation along dimensions that require more inter-group interactions, but had null or positive effects on outcomes for which cross-group coordination is less important. We provide evidence that coordination within the Italian community and natives‚ backlash are plausible pathways for our results. We also document that churches increased literacy and English speaking ability of immigrant children.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective
Autoimmune Addison´s disease (AAD) is associated with reduced health-related quality of life and possibly reduced employability. The aim of this study was to assess differences in income and work loss between patients with AAD and matched comparators.

Design
Nationwide, cross-sectional register-based study.

Methods
By linking the Swedish Addison Register and national health registers, we identified working age (18–64 years) individuals with AAD and general population comparators (matched 1:5 by sex, age and county of residence). We assessed differences in taxable earnings and disposable income through quantile regression and differences in work loss through linear regression during 2019.

Results
We identified 1,140 cases with AAD and 5,700 comparators (mean age 46.1 years, 48.4% men). Type 1 diabetes was prevalent in 15.7% and 1.1%, respectively. Work loss was higher in AAD; adjusted mean difference 14.4 days; 95% CI, 8.6–20. The adjusted median differences in taxable earnings and disposable income were non-significant overall at -617 (95% CI; -2,317 to 1,083) and -405 (95% CI; -1,417 to 607) €. However, significantly lower taxable earnings and disposable income were found among patients with short education: -5,303 (95% CI; -9,603 to -992) and -3,754 (95% CI; -6,486 to -1,022) €, or concomitant type 1 diabetes: -5,808 (95% CI; -9,937 to -1,690) and -3,349 (95% CI; -6,203 to -506) €.

Conclusion
Patients with AAD had more work loss, yet overall similar taxable earnings and disposable incomes versus comparators. Patients with AAD with shorter education or type 1 diabetes were most socioeconomically vulnerable.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background and Objectives
Environmental design modifications are important non-pharmacological interventions for people with dementia in older adult residential care, but their effects are difficult to measure objectively. In this paper, we present the assessment of the impact of door decals installed on patient rooms, offices, and exit doors on patient movements as an example of the uses of location data in evaluating environmental design interventions.

Research Design and Methods
We undertook a quality improvement project in an inpatient specialized dementia unit using de-identified data from a clinical location monitoring system from 79 individuals with dementia admitted over time to 15 patient rooms to measure patient movements. In the first phase, decals were applied to one office and six patient room doors, and doors with and without decals were compared. In the second phase, patient movements were compared before and after a decal was applied to the remaining exit, office and nine patient doors. Main outcomes of interest were the number of daily approaches to concealed doors and daily approaches and entrances to patients’ own and others’ rooms.

Results
Using location data, we identified a significant reduction in the number of approaches to and dwell time at office doors and exits. No differences were found in patient movements in relation to their own or others’ rooms in either phase, although patients assigned a room with a decal tended to approach others’ rooms with decals less often than those with a plain door.

Discussion and Implications
Door decals successfully reduced patient contact with staff-only doors and exits but did not have a large impact on patient movement with respect to wayfinding. Location tracking systems provide an important opportunity to evaluate the impact of design interventions in situ in specific older adult care contexts.
Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) feeding responses to double virus infections in melon
Authors: Galán-Cubero Rocio , Fereres Alberto , Moreno Aránzazu 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Virus infections cause economic losses in crops worldwide and their management and control present major challenges. In the field, double infections of two or more viruses are the rule, not the exception. The presence of several viruses in a plant makes it difficult to interpret virus–insect vector–plant interactions. Mixed infections can alter plant symptoms compared with single infections and may also impact their vectors. We describe plant-mediated indirect effects of virus double-infection on feeding behavior of an aphid vector (Aphis gossypii Glover) and virus transmission in melon (Cucumis melo L.). The viruses we used were a circulative cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV, Solemoviridae:Polerovirus) and a non-circulative cucumber mosaic virus (CMV, Bromoviridae:Cucumovirus). When melon plants were CMV-infected, indirect plant-mediated effects on A. gossypii feeding were like those reported on other plant species; specifically, intracellular punctures (pd) were more frequent and longer than on mock-inoculated plants, which enhanced CMV transmission. Similarly, when plants were CABYV-infected, we observed a statistically non-significant trend for increases in extended salivation (E1) and ingestion (E2) activities in phloem compared with mock-inoculated plants, which also enhanced CABYV transmission. When aphids fed on CMV-CABYV double-infected plants feeding behavior activities related to the transmission of both viruses were enhanced even more than when feeding on single-infected plants. Nevertheless, the virus transmission rate was the same on single-infected or double-infected plants. Thus, our results suggest that double infections do not modify viral dispersion compared with single infections since the indirect effect of CMV and CABYV in single infections is already optimized to favor virus transmission.
Prediction for close approaches with terrestrial planets of asteroids from the main belt

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs), a special subset of Near-Earth Objects, are both dangerous and scientifically valuable. PHAs that truly undergo close approaches with the Earth (dubbed CAPHAs) are of particular interest and extensively studied. The concept and study of CAPHA can be extended to other Solar System planets, which have significant implications for future planet-based observations and explorations. In this work, we conduct numerical simulations that incorporate the Yarkovsky effect to study the transformation of main belt asteroids into CAPHAs of terrestrial planets, using precise nominal timesteps, especially to ensure the reliability of the results for Mercury and Venus. Our simulations predict a total of 1893 Mercury-CAPHAs, 3014 Venus-CAPHAs, 3791 Earth-CAPHAs and 18066 Mars-CAPHAs, with an occurrence frequency of about 1, 9, 15 and 66 per year, respectively. The values for Mars-CAPHAs are consistent with our previous work, which were based on simulations with a larger nominal timestep. The predicted occurrence frequency and velocity distribution of Earth-CAPHAs are in reasonable agreement with the observed population of Earth-CAPHAs. We also find that certain asteroids can be caught in close approach with different planets at different times, raising an interesting possibility of using them as transportation between terrestrial planets in the future.
Association with immorality explains HIV stigma in the USA
Authors: Davoudpour Shahin , Salvador Rommel O , Phillips Gregory 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Four decades after the first reported case of HIV, the stigma surrounding an HIV diagnosis remains a significant challenge. This persistence, even amid numerous destigmatization efforts, has posed a puzzle for both scholars and policymakers. In this study, we explore the concept of morality attached to HIV status to shed light on this ongoing stigma. Utilizing data from the 2021 and 2022 waves of the General Social Survey, we examined the relationship between comfort in proximity to people with HIV (PWH) and moral beliefs associated with HIV status. Our findings suggest that individuals who ‘strongly agree’ that PWH engage in immoral activities are over 13 times more likely to reject proximity to PWH compared with those who ‘strongly disagree’. This finding is robust, even after taking to account factors such as the individual’s moral belief that same-sex sexual activity is wrong, and their awareness of discrimination against PWH. Overall, our results suggest that stigmatization is more likely when immorality is associated with the stigmatized status. We encourage destigmatization campaigns to consider these findings and integrate the dissociation of morality from HIV status into their messaging frames.

Abstract

Background
Guidelines issued by professional organizations recommend that all patients with psychotic disorders who have had several psychotic relapses, continue maintenance anti-psychotic treatment. However, some patients discontinue anti-psychotics and do not later relapse. This study attempted to characterize those patients with psychotic disorders early in their disease not taking maintenance antipsychotics, who were not later hospitalized.

Study Design
This population-based cohort study combined registry data on patients diagnosed in their first psychotic episode (ICD 10 code: F20-29) from Sweden (n = 20 848), and Israel (n = 10 045), and followed them for up to 7 years for re-hospitalization or death. Multivariate analyses assessed sociodemographic and clinical risk factors predicting rehospitalization or death in patients with one hospitalization and did not fill prescriptions for antipsychotics; results from Sweden and Israel were then meta-analyzed.

Study Results
The main analysis of this paper included 1611 patients from Sweden and 1607 from Israel. Male gender (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-2.13) and a diagnosis of narrowly defined schizophrenia (F20.0-F20.9; aHR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.55-2.2) were associated with increased risk of a second hospitalization or death among those who did not use antipsychotics. No sociodemographic or clinical characteristics were associated with a decreased risk of a second hospitalization or death.

Conclusions
Based on registry data, it was not possible to characterize, in a clinically meaningful way, those patients who can safely discontinue anti-psychotic medications and not be re-hospitalized or die. Male gender and a diagnosis of narrowly defined schizophrenia were associated with an increased risk of later relapse.
Hapto-robotic Assisted Total Hip Replacement for Hip Near Ankylosis
Authors: Dabel Angelique , Damron Timothy A. 
Published: February 2025

Objective:
Robotic-assisted total hip surgery is most used for primary total joint surgery to remove outliers in cup positioning that affect motion and stability. However, they may also have value in difficult primary total hips. In this case report, this method was used for a patient with severe pseudoarthrosis.

Materials and Methods:
The posterior approach was planned for the patient. Preoperative CT scan was obtained in preparation for the hapto-robotic MAKOplasty system (Stryker).

Results:
The preoperative 2 cm leg length difference was reduced to 8 mm based on the MAKOplasty display. The patient’s range of motion was improved compared with baseline with flexion of 80 degrees, 10 degrees of internal rotation, 30 degrees of external rotation, and full extension without undue tightening.

Conclusion:
Total hip replacement in the setting of pseudoarthrosis represents a complex primary procedure that can improve range of motion and pain relief. The use of the CT-based hapto-robotic assisted procedure (ie, MAKOplasty) allowed the desired placement of the acetabular implant and assessment of leg length discrepancy but was only possible through the use of the described technique for true acetabular identification used in this case.
Sense and Sensibility: Nerve Tape—A More Efficient Alternative for Nerve Repair in Breast Reconstruction?
Authors: Chinta Malini , Webster Theresa , Huang Hao , Gfrerer Lisa 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Current methods of nerve coaptation, ranging from epineural microsuture to fibrin glue, are either technically challenging or inadequate in providing robust repair. Nerve Tape, a novel sutureless nerve coaptation device, addresses these shortcomings by enabling rapid application while still preserving high-quality nerve repair. The purpose of this study was to compare the speed and quality of nerve repair between Nerve Tape and the traditional microsuture in patients who undergo cancer-related and gender-affirming mastectomies with chest/breast reinnervation.

Methods:
Fourteen surgeon participants performed direct coaptations between the lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves and either medial intercostal nerve branch autograft or allograft. Neurorrhaphy was randomized and performed with microsuture on 1 breast/chest and Nerve Tape on the contralateral breast/chest. Repair time and repair quality, graded with a standardized neurorrhaphy grading scale, were compared between the 2 repair methods.

Results:
The mean repair time using Nerve Tape and microsuture was 1.79 and 5.20 minutes, respectively. Nerve Tape repair required less than half the time of microsuture repair for trainees of all postgraduate year levels. The repair quality was excellent or good in 92% of Nerve Tape coaptations and 69% of microsuture repairs.

Conclusions:
Nerve Tape enables faster repair times and higher rates of clinically acceptable nerve coaptation, regardless of the surgeon’s level of experience. This sutureless technology proves to be a potentially promising alternative to traditional microsurgical suture repair, though more studies are needed to establish a correlation with clinical outcomes.

Published: February 2025

SUMMARY
As healthcare faces mounting financial challenges and an uncertain flow of resources, proactive risk officers are working to implement effective operating policies to handle those challenges and uncertainties. Clear governance structures that are fully integrated into the organization’s strategic planning process can provide the framework for effective risk management. At Providence, a large not-for-profit health system, enterprise risk management practices serve to identify, assess, and manage the risks that can affect the entire organization. Armed with a complete view of risks (both taken and those avoided), system executives, core leaders, and board members work together to protect value and advance the corporate mission.
