Abstract
Notiosorex is the only genus of shrews in North America with particular adaptations for arid habitats such as deserts. Five species currently are recognized in the genus, one of which, Notiosorex evotis, lives in deciduous rain forest from northern Sinaloa to the state of Jalisco in México. Notiosorex evotis originally was described as a subspecies of N. crawfordi; however, it was recently proposed as a valid species based on a discriminant function analysis of craniodental characters. Morphological differentiation between N. evotis populations and sympatric occurrences with N. crawfordi in northern Sinaloa have been recognized. Here, we used a phylogenetic analysis of a mitochondrial gene (Cytb; 1,140 bp) and the nuclear beta fibrinogen intron 7 (β-fib I7; 385 bp), as well as cranial geometric morphometrics, to assess the taxonomic status of N. evotis. We found sequences of N. evotis forming two main subclades: one that includes the populations of the state of Sinaloa, the other including populations of Nayarit and Jalisco. The boundaries between the two groups seem to be related to the ecotonal cline between the Pacific Lowlands province and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt province, which acts as a geographical barrier. The discriminant function analysis revealed clear differences in skull shape between the three species of Notiosorex to the northwest of its distribution. Considering these multiple lines of evidence from our data set, we confirm that N. evotis is a monotypic species. Our results suggest that geometric morphometrics can be used successfully to identify sibling species by shape, especially in groups where determination by craniodental measurements is not possible.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the emotional well-being of pediatric brain tumor survivors (PBTS) from the perspective of children’s self-reports and parents’ reports relative to matched comparison peers (COMP) and their parents. It was hypothesized that PBTS would self-report more depression symptoms, loneliness, and lower self-concept than COMP. We also hypothesized that mothers and fathers of PBTS would report more internalizing symptoms and lower total competence for their children. Age and sex effects were examined in exploratory analyses.MethodsFamilies of 187 PBTS and 186 COMP participated across 5 sites. Eligible children in the PBTS group were 8–15 years of age and 1–5 years post-treatment for a primary intracranial tumor without progressive disease. COMP were classmates matched for sex, race, and age.ResultsPBTS self-reported lower scholastic, athletic, and social competence, but not more depression, loneliness, or lower global self-worth than COMP. Parents of PBTS reported more internalizing symptoms and lower total competence than parents of COMP. With few exceptions, group differences did not vary as a function of child age and sex.ConclusionPBTS reported diminished self-concept in scholastic, athletic, and social domains, while their parents reported broader challenges with internalizing symptoms and total competence. Discrepancies between self-report and parent report require further study to inform targeted interventions for PBTS. Screening survivors for emotional challenges in follow-up clinic or in school setting may help with the allocation of psychosocial support and services for PBTS and their families.

Abstract
Medicago truncatula NODULE ROOT1 (MtNOOT1) and Pisum sativum COCHLEATA1 (PsCOCH1) are orthologous genes belonging to the NOOT-BOP-COCH-LIKE (NBCL) gene family which encodes key transcriptional co-regulators of plant development. In Mtnoot1 and Pscoch1 mutants, the development of stipules, flowers, and symbiotic nodules is altered. MtNOOT2 and PsCOCH2 represent the single paralogues of MtNOOT1 and PsCOCH1, respectively. In M. truncatula, MtNOOT1 and MtNOOT2 are both required for the establishment and maintenance of symbiotic nodule identity. In legumes, the role of NBCL2 in above-ground development is not known. To better understand the roles of NBCL genes in legumes, we used M. truncatula and P. sativum nbcl mutants, isolated a knockout mutant for the PsCOCH2 locus and generated Pscoch1coch2 double mutants in P. sativum. Our work shows that single Mtnoot2 and Pscoch2 mutants develop wild-type stipules, flowers, and symbiotic nodules. However, the number of flowers was increased and the pods and seeds were smaller compared to the wild type. Furthermore, in comparison to the corresponding nbcl1 single mutants, both the M. truncatula and P. sativum nbcl double mutants show a drastic alteration in stipule, inflorescence, flower, and nodule development. Remarkably, in both M. truncatula and P. sativum nbcl double mutants, stipules are transformed into a range of aberrant leaf-like structures.
‘Homeless in their own home’: the case of home-deprived single mothers
Authors: Benyamin Shlomit 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Institutional statistics and academic research in Israel tend to present a partial description of the gender characteristics of the problem of Israeli homelessness. They often focus on the manifest aspect of the phenomenon, which essentially characterizes homelessness as men living on the streets. By doing so, they ignore its hidden aspect, especially its feminine characteristics. Based on 10 interviews that I conducted with Jewish and Arab women, who are home-deprived single mothers, the article reveals how these women, who have some kind of roof over their heads, have living arrangements that are characterized by a lack of stability and security. The women engage in a number of strategies, which include, for example: living with family and friends, constantly moving from one apartment to another, refusing to evacuate, and squatting in empty apartments, which make them invisible homeless, hidden from the public eye. The analysis of the women's coping strategies reveals that the women are not passive objects of the hegemonic discourse, but rather active members of society. The women engage in resistance and redefine the boundaries of the social problem of homelessness, in order to meet their parental obligations and ensure that their children will have a roof over their heads.

Thermal desorption of H2O ice: from nanoscale films to the bulk
Authors: Rosu-Finsen Alexander , Chikani Bharvi , Salzmann Christoph G 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
The desorption properties of H2O films are investigated across a wide range of film thicknesses from 53 nanometres (nm) to 101 micrometres (μm) using a quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) and temperature-programmed desorption. Three desorption stages are observed belonging to amorphous solid water (ASW), stacking disordered ice I (ice Isd), and hexagonal ice I (ice Ih). The desorption of ASW is only detectable for the ≥10 μm films and is separated from the ice I desorption by 10–15 K with an associated desorption energy of ∼64 kJ mol−1. The desorption energy of the 53-nm film was found to be near 50 kJ mol−1 as also noted in the literature, but with increasing film thickness, the desorption energy of ice I rises, reaching a plateau around 65–70 kJ mol−1. The reason for the increased desorption energy is suggested to be due to molecules unable to desorb due to the thick covering layer of H2O and possibly re-adsorption events. Before complete desorption of ice I at around 220 K for the 101 μm film, a two-stage ice I desorption is observed with the QCM for the ≥10 μm films near 200 K. This event corresponds to the desorption of ice Isd as corroborated by X-ray diffraction patterns collected upon heating from 92 to 260 K at ambient pressure. Cubic ice is not observed as is commonly stated in the literature as resulting from the crystallization of ASW. Therefore, ice Isd is the correct terminology for the initial crystallization product of ASW.
The impact of resistive electric fields on particle acceleration in reconnection layers
Authors: Puzzoni E , Mignone A , Bodo G 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTIn the context of particle acceleration in high-energy astrophysical environments featuring magnetic reconnection, the importance of the resistive term of the electric field compared to the convective one is still under debate. In this work, we present a quantitative analysis through 2D magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations of tearing-unstable current sheets coupled to a test-particles approach, performed with the pluto code. We find that the resistive field plays a significant role in the early-stage energization of high-energy particles. Indeed, these particles are first accelerated due to the resistive electric field when they cross an X-point, created during the fragmentation of the current sheet. If this preliminary particle acceleration mechanism dominated by the resistive field is neglected, particles cannot reach the same high energies. Our results support therefore the conclusion that the resistive field is not only non-negligible but it does actually play an important role in the particle acceleration mechanism.

AbstractEukaryotes have evolved multiple ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers to shape the nucleosome landscape. We recently uncovered an evolutionarily conserved SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeler complex in plants reminiscent of the mammalian BAF subclass, which specifically incorporates the MINUSCULE (MINU) catalytic subunits and the TRIPLE PHD FINGERS (TPF) signature subunits. Here we report experimental evidence that establishes the functional relevance of TPF proteins for the complex activity. Our results show that depletion of TPF triggers similar pleiotropic phenotypes and molecular defects to those found in minu mutants. Moreover, we report the genomic location of MINU2 and TPF proteins as representative members of this SWI/SNF complex and their impact on nucleosome positioning and transcription. These analyses unravel the binding of the complex to thousands of genes where it modulates the position of the +1 nucleosome. These targets tend to produce 5′-shifted transcripts in the tpf and minu mutants pointing to the participation of the complex in alternative transcription start site usage. Interestingly, there is a remarkable correlation between +1 nucleosome shift and 5′ transcript length change suggesting their functional connection. In summary, this study unravels the function of a plant SWI/SNF complex involved in +1 nucleosome positioning and transcription start site determination.

Abstract
The emerging importance of embryonic development research rapidly increases the volume for a professional resource related to multi-omics data. However, the lack of global embryogenesis repository and systematic analysis tools limits the preceding in stem cell research, human congenital diseases and assisted reproduction. Here, we developed the EmAtlas, which collects the most comprehensive multi-omics data and provides multi-scale tools to explore spatiotemporal activation during mammalian embryogenesis. EmAtlas contains data on multiple types of gene expression, chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, nucleosome occupancy, histone modifications, and transcription factors, which displays the complete spatiotemporal landscape in mouse and human across several time points, involving gametogenesis, preimplantation, even fetus and neonate, and each tissue involves various cell types. To characterize signatures involved in the tissue, cell, genome, gene and protein levels during mammalian embryogenesis, analysis tools on these five scales were developed. Additionally, we proposed EmRanger to deliver extensive development-related biological background annotations. Users can utilize these tools to analyze, browse, visualize, and download data owing to the user-friendly interface. EmAtlas is freely accessible at http://bioinfor.imu.edu.cn/ematlas.
Artificial Intelligence and Phenomenological Ethnography
Authors: Banerji Ritwik 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWhile phenomenological ethnography is primarily concerned with the structure of an individual subject’s experience of the sociocultural world, the contents of that experience itself remain a vital concern and problem for phenomenological ethnography given the several problems any ethnographer faces in trying to access what their subjects experience. This chapter describes an experimental methodology in which the ethnographer uses an artificially intelligent, improvising, musical social interactant to address this problem by staging encounters between performers active in free improvisation and these nonhuman virtual systems. Results of this method illustrate its efficacy as a novel means of understanding human social interaction as a distinct form of culture as experience.
Sport, Coaching, and Performance

Published: October 2022

Abstract
For any coach, a daily concern is always: What should I have the athletes I coach do in practice to achieve our performance objectives? While seemingly straightforward, what can make this question difficult for coaches to answer is the entangled multiplicity of forces and “knowledges” that shape coaches’ decision-making. As a result, what coaches have their athletes do in practice was more accurately described by Foucault, as “a series of discontinuous segments whose tactical function is neither uniform or stable … but can come into play in various strategies.” And it is the “effects” that these various strategies can have on athletes’ performance capabilities which are the focus of this chapter. More specifically, the chapter argues for the importance of coaches questioning many of their “normal” training practices in an effort to enhance their athletes’ performances.
Medical neglect: Working with children, youth, and families
Authors: Ward Michelle G K , Baird Burke 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
All children have a basic right to health care. When a child’s health care needs are not met, for any reason, health care providers (HCPs) must consider the barriers involved and the processes required to resolve the situation. Social, economic, or other barriers can prevent parents from accessing care for their child. Sometimes differing opinions, priorities, or values, between a child’s HCPs and parents come to impede the child receiving needed medical care. In some cases, caregiver failure to ensure needed care may be considered medical neglect. Specific skills and knowledge can help HCPs to prevent such situations from arising, and to work effectively with the family if they do. This statement offers an approach that HCPs can use to promote the best interests, well-being, and safety of children or youth at risk for medical neglect.
Interfacial cavitation

Published: October 2022

AbstractCavitation has long been recognized as a crucial predictor, or precursor, to the ultimate failure of various materials, ranging from ductile metals to soft and biological materials. Traditionally, cavitation in solids is defined as an unstable expansion of a void or a defect within a material. The critical applied load needed to trigger this instability -- the critical pressure -- is a lengthscale independent material property and has been predicted by numerous theoretical studies for a breadth of constitutive models. While these studies usually assume that cavitation initiates from defects in the bulk of an otherwise homogeneous medium, an alternative and potentially more ubiquitous scenario can occur if the defects are found at interfaces between two distinct media within the body. Such interfaces are becoming increasingly common in modern materials with the use of multimaterial composites and layer-by-layer additive manufacturing methods. However, a criterion to determine the threshold for interfacial failure, in analogy to the bulk cavitation limit, has yet to be reported. In this work, we fill this gap. Our theoretical model captures a lengthscale independent limit for interfacial cavitation, and is shown to agree with our observations at two distinct lengthscales, via two different experimental systems. To further understand the competition between the two cavitation modes (bulk versus interface), we expand our investigation beyond the elastic response to understand the ensuing unstable propagation of delamination at the interface. A phase diagram summarizes these results, showing regimes in which interfacial failure becomes the dominant mechanism.

Abstract
People believe they should consider how their behavior might negatively impact other people, Yet their behavior often increases others’ health risks. This creates challenges for managing public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined a procedure wherein people reflect on their personal criteria regarding how their behavior impacts others’ health risks. We expected structured reflection to increase people's intentions and decisions to reduce others’ health risks. Structured reflection increases attention to others’ health risks and the correspondence between people's personal criteria and behavioral intentions. In four experiments during COVID-19, people (N = 12,995) reported their personal criteria about how much specific attributes, including the impact on others’ health risks, should influence their behavior. Compared with control conditions, people who engaged in structured reflection reported greater intentions to reduce business capacity (experiment 1) and avoid large social gatherings (experiments 2 and 3). They also donated more to provide vaccines to refugees (experiment 4). These effects emerged across seven countries that varied in collectivism and COVID-19 case rates (experiments 1 and 2). Structured reflection was distinct from instructions to carefully deliberate (experiment 3). Structured reflection increased the correlation between personal criteria and behavioral intentions (experiments 1 and 3). And structured reflection increased donations more among people who scored lower in cognitive reflection compared with those who scored higher in cognitive reflection (experiment 4). These findings suggest that structured reflection can effectively increase behaviors to reduce public health risks.
Engineering Pseudomonas aeruginosa arylsulfatase for hydrolysis of α-configured steroid sulfates

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Steroid sulfate esters are important metabolites for anti-doping efforts in sports, pathology and research. Analysis of these metabolites is facilitated by hydrolysis using either acid or enzymatic catalysis. Although enzymatic hydrolysis is preferred for operating at neutral pH, no known enzyme is capable of hydrolyzing all steroid sulfate metabolites. Pseudomonas aeruginosa arylsulfatase (PaS) is ideal for the hydrolysis of β-configured steroid sulfates but like other known class I sulfatases it is inefficient at hydrolyzing α-configured steroid sulfates. We have used directed evolution with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry screening to find variants capable of hydrolyzing a α-configured steroid sulfate: etiocholanolone sulfate (ECS). After targeting two regions of PaS, four residues were identified and optimized to yield a final variant with a total of seven mutations (DRN-PaS) capable of hydrolyzing ECS ~80 times faster than the best PaS variant previously available. This DRN-PaS also shows improved activity for other α-configured steroid sulfates. Simultaneous mutagenesis was essential to obtain DRN-PaS due to complementarity between targeted residues.
Axisymmetric contact of two different power-law graded elastic bodies and an integral equation with two Weber–Schafheitlin kernels
Authors: Antipov Y A , Mkhitaryan S M 
Published: October 2022

Summary
This article analyzes the axisymmetric contact problem of two elastic inhomogeneous bodies whose Young moduli are power functions of depth and the exponents are not necessarily the same. It is shown that the model problem is equivalent to an integral equation with respect to the pressure distribution whose kernel is a linear combination of two Weber–Schafheitlin integrals. The pressure is expanded in terms of the Jacobi polynomials, and the expansion coefficients are recovered by solving an infinite system of linear algebraic equations of the second kind. The coefficients of the system are represented through Mellin convolution integrals and computed explicitly. The Hertzian and Johnson–Kendall–Robertson adhesive models are employed to determine the contact radius, the displacement of distant points of the contacting bodies, the pressure distribution and the elastic normal displacement of surface points outside the contact circular zone. The effects of the exponents of the Young moduli and the surface energy density on the pressure distribution and the displacements are numerically analyzed.
