Understanding darkness: age, sex, and tech-proficiency in knowledge and perceptions of technology-mediated abuse
Authors: Eckstein Jessica J 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This article examines how people understand technology-mediated abuse (TMA) between adult romantic partners. Because knowledge and attitudes regarding sensitive issues are created and shaped via technology, users’ interpretations are crucial to understanding life-threatening relational situations such as TMA. In this study, 551 individuals were recruited via community-based chain-referral sampling and asked to describe TMA (e.g., online stalking, hacking, verbal attack, etc.). To varying degrees, age, sex, and technological proficiency each and also, interactively predicted TMA perceptions. Findings showed that older (vs. younger) and male (vs. female) individuals understood different technology-mediated behaviors as harmful when used by adult romantic partners.

AbstractTo better understand tick ecology in Virginia and the increasing Lyme disease incidence in western Virginia, a comparative phenological study was conducted in which monthly collections were performed at twelve sampling locations in southwestern Virginia (high Lyme disease incidence) and 18 equivalent sampling locations in southeastern Virginia (low Lyme disease incidence) for one year. In western Virginia, we also explored the effect of elevation on collection rates of Ixodes scapularis Say (Acari: Ixodidae) and Amblyomma americanum (L.) (Acari: Ixodidae). In total, 35,438 ticks were collected (33,106 A. americanum; 2,052 I. scapularis; 134 Ixodes affinis Neumann [Acari: Ixodidae]; 84 Dermacentor variabilis [Say] [Acari: Ixodidae]; 49 Dermacentor albipictus [Packard] [Acari: Ixodidae]; 10 Haemaphysalis leporispalustris [Packard] [Acari: Ixodidae]; 2 Ixodes brunneus Koch [Acari: Ixodidae]; 1 Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann [Acari: Ixodidae]). Within southwestern Virginia, Ixodes scapularis collection rates were not influenced by elevation, unlike A. americanum which were collected more frequently at lower elevations (e.g., below 500 m). Notably, I. scapularis larvae and nymphs were commonly collected in southwestern Virginia (indicating that they were questing on or above the leaf litter) but not in southeastern Virginia. Questing on or above the leaf litter is primarily associated with northern populations of I. scapularis. These findings may support the hypothesis that I. scapularis from the northeastern United States are migrating into western Virginia and contributing to the higher incidence of Lyme disease in this region. This comparative phenological study underscores the value of these types of studies and the need for additional research to further understand the rapidly changing tick-borne disease dynamics in Virginia.

Abstract
Diffuse spinal cord gliomas (SCGs) are rare tumors associated with a high morbidity and mortality that affect both pediatric and adult populations. In this retrospective study, we sought to characterize the clinical, pathological, and molecular features of diffuse SCG in 22 patients with histological and molecular analyses. The median age of our cohort was 23.64 years (range 1–82) and the overall median survival was 397 days. K27M mutation was significantly more prevalent in males compared to females. Gross total resection and chemotherapy were associated with improved survival, compared to biopsy and no chemotherapy. While there was no association between tumor grade, K27M status (p = 0.366) or radiation (p = 0.772), and survival, males showed a trend toward shorter survival. K27M mutant tumors showed increased chromosomal instability and a distinct DNA methylation signature.
Mycorrhizal fungi reduce fitness differences, but coexistence is determined by differences in intrinsic plant mycorrhizal responsiveness
Authors: Wagg Cameron , McKenzie-Gopsill Andrew 
Published: August 2022

AbstractPlant–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) associations can mediate soil resources among competing plants to influence plant resource capture and fitness, making AMF a potential agent of plant coexistence. We assessed plant coexistence, via niche and fitness differences, using six plant species varying in their mycorrhizal status. We grew the species in 15 competitive pairs with or without AMF. Effects of AMF on coexistence were determined by parametrizing pair-wise Lotka–Volterra plant competition models. Responses of the six plant species to AMF were determined by comparing the shoot biomass of single plants grown in the absence of any competition with AMF to the shoot biomass without AMF. The inoculation with AMF reduced the fitness differences between competitors, but the degree of AMF-mediated coexistence depended on the identity of the competing plant species. A greater AMF response difference between competing plant species reduced niche overlap and increased coexistence. These results show that while AMF generally reduce fitness differences, the equalizing effect of AMF is not always strong enough to overcome a competitive imbalance due to niche overlap and thus does not always lead to coexistence. Instead, it is the intrinsic growth response of different plant species to AMF, which can predict reduced niche overlap that in turn leads to coexistence. This implies that mycorrhizal dependence is a plant strategy to reduce niche overlap with competitors, thus allowing for greater coexistence.

Published: August 2022

AbstractNutrient resorption in autumn is a key mechanism of perennial plants for nutrient conservation and efficient use in grassland. Grazing effects on plant nutrient resorption may alter root nutrient conservation and affect plant growth in the subsequent spring. There are many studies on nutrient resorption and conservation of plants in grazing grassland, but few studies have investigated the effect of grazing on plant growth in subsequent spring. Taking Stipa grandis, a dominant perennial grass in a semi-arid steppe as a model plant, we examined plant nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) resorption traits (resorption efficiency, proficiency and flux) and root nutrient conservation traits (root biomass and nutrient pool) in autumn, and plant growth traits (height, biomass and nutrient pool) in the subsequent spring, in an experimental grassland under four grazing season treatments (i.e. grazing in spring, summer or autumn or no grazing). We found that (i) 51%–66% of N and 58%–80% of P in S. grandis shoots were resorbed in autumn, and the resorption flux was the lowest under autumn grazing, and highest under spring grazing. (ii) Root nutrient conservation traits were significantly reduced by summer grazing, slightly decreased by spring grazing, but not affected by autumn grazing. (iii) Plant growth in next spring was the best under early spring grazing and the worst under autumn grazing, which was mainly affected by soil moisture rather than root nutrient storage. Our study provides insights into the process of plant nutrient cycling and a theoretical basis for establishing grazing system for grassland protection and rational utilization.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Uterine torsion (UT) is one of the most uncommon obstetric complications. It usually occurs in the third trimester. The confirmed diagnosis relies on &gt; 45° rotation at the utero-cervical junction around its longitudinal axis. The etiology is unknown in 20% of cases. It might be asymptomatic in some rare cases; however, symptoms usually manifest with acute abdominal pain, fetal bradycardia, vaginal bleeding or failure of labor progress. Laparotomy is used to establish the diagnosis and the management of UT. We report a 180° uterine dextrotorsion case of an obese 24-year-old pregnant female who presented with severe abdominal pain at the 35th gestational week, which was diagnosed and managed by an emergency laparotomy. UT is a rare though serious condition and must be doubted before a suspicious clinical image. Therefore, it is suggested to avoid consecutive pregnancies and the resultant uterine rupture.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is caused by a sudden increase in pressure in the pituitary region due to acute hemorrhage, infarction or necrosis. PA can also be caused by restricting blood supply to the nerve due to compression of the internal carotid artery. Acute third cranial nerve palsy (third CN) secondary to PA is a rare medical emergency caused by bleeding within a growing mass within the sella turcica. We presented two cases of PA with isolated third CN palsy treated with transsphenoidal pituitary decompression. PA is therefore an important differential diagnosis to consider in patients with isolated third nerve palsy. The prognosis for isolated third nerve palsy in PA appeared successful, with variable recovery from medical and surgical intervention.
The Autobiography of Willy Katzenstein: Part One, 1874–1932
Authors: Hamlyn Susan , Gaus Linda 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Late in 2020, while sorting through a cupboard at the home of her mother, Eva Roberts (née Katzenstein), Susan Hamlyn—the abridger of this piece—discovered two fat folders. Each contained carefully typed documents in German. One was the 292-page diary kept by Eva’s father, the lawyer Dr Willy Katzenstein (1874–1951) (see Figure 1), during his four years of service in the Landsturm (German reserve army) (see Figure 2) during the First World War. The other was the 212-page autobiography he wrote shortly after arriving in England as a refugee in June 1939. The autobiography, the first part of which is published here, is primarily concerned with Katzenstein’s increasing—and ultimately crucial—involvement with the Jewish community of Bielefeld in north-western Germany, and various Jewish organizations at local and national level. Although he was semi-detached from Jewish interests and affairs in his youth, by the mid-1930s the facilitation of Jewish emigration from Germany absorbed every aspect of life for him and his wife Selma (née Zehden). Katzenstein was a classicist, poet, essayist, traveller, a lover of music and art, and a devoted husband and father. He died in London in 1951.

Abstract
Microbes unculturable in vitro remain diagnostically challenging, dependent historically on clinical findings, histology, or targeted molecular detection. We applied whole-genome sequencing directly from tissue to diagnose infections with mycobacteria (leprosy) and parasites (coenurosis). Direct pathogen DNA sequencing provides flexible solutions to diagnosis of difficult pathogens in diverse contexts.
Impact of freeze–thaw-induced pit aspiration on stem water transport in the subalpine conifer Abies veitchii

Published: August 2022

Abstract
During winter, subalpine conifers experience frequent freeze–thaw cycles in stem xylem that may cause embolism and pit aspiration due to increased water volume during the sap to ice transition. This study examined the occurrence and ecological impacts of a combination of freeze–thaw-induced pit aspiration and embolism triggered by natural and artificial stem freezing. In subalpine Veitch’s fir (Abies veitchii) trees, the fraction of closed pits and embolized tracheids as well as conductivity losses were measured to examine pit aspiration and its effects. When trees incurred mild drought stress in February and early March, 70%–80% of stem conductivity was lost. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy indicated &lt;20% embolized tracheids but ∼90% closed pits. Severe drought stress in late March caused 96% ± 1.2% (mean ± standard error) loss of stem conductivity, while the fraction of embolized tracheids increased to 64% ± 6.6%, and aspirated pit fraction decreased to 23% ± 5.6%. Experimental freeze–thaw cycles also increased pit aspiration from 7.1% ± 0.89% to 49% ± 10%, and the fraction of closed pits was positively correlated to the percent loss of stem hydraulic conductivity. The results indicated that freezing-induced pit aspiration is an important factor for stem xylem dysfunction under mild drought, and upon severe drought in winter; stem water transport is predominantly inhibited by xylem embolism.

aγ, and (g − 2)e,μ in a 3-3-1 model with inverse seesaw neutrinos
Authors: Hong T T , Nha N H T , Nguyen T Phong , Phuong L T T , Hue L T 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We will show that the 3-3-1 model with new heavy right-handed neutrinos as SU(3)L singlets can simultaneously explain the lepton flavor violating decays of the SM-like Higgs boson, charged lepton flavor violating decays eb → eaγ, and the electron (g − 2)e anomalies under recent experimental data. The discrepancy of (g − 2)μ predicted by the model under consideration and that of the standard model can reach 10−9. The decay rates of the standard model-like Higgs boson h → τe,τμ can reach values of $\mathcal {O}(10^{-4})$.
Nucleon D-term in holographic quantum chromodynamics
Authors: Fujita Mitsutoshi , Hatta Yoshitaka , Sugimoto Shigeki , Ueda Takahiro 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The D-term is one of the conserved charges of hadrons defined as the forward limit of the gravitational form factor D(t). We calculate the nucleon’s D-term in a holographic quantum chromodynamics model in which the nucleon is described as a soliton in five dimensions. We show that the form factor D(t) is saturated by the exchanges of infinitely many 0++ and 2++ glueballs dual to transverse-traceless metric fluctuations on the Wick-rotated AdS7 black hole geometry. We refer to this phenomenon as “glueball dominance,” in perfect analogy to the vector meson dominance of the electromagnetic form factors. However, the value at vanishing momentum transfer D(t = 0) can be interpreted as due to the exchange of pairs of pions and infinitely many vector and axial-vector mesons without any reference to glueballs. We find that the D-term is slightly negative as a result of a cancellation between the isovector and isoscalar meson contributions.
Quantum mechanical approach to bifurcation point detection in Hamiltonian dynamical systems
Authors: Makino Hironori 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The energy level statistics of a bounded quantum system whose classical dynamical system exhibits bifurcations is investigated using the two-point correlation function (TPCF), which at the bifurcation points exhibits periodic spike oscillations owing to the accumulation of levels called the shell effect. The spike oscillations of the TPCF are analyzed by the reduced chi-squared value, which exhibits abrupt increases at bifurcation points, thereby yielding a novel detection approach. Using this method, we attempt to numerically detect the bifurcation points of a lemon-shaped billiard.
Recent advances in glucose-responsive insulin delivery systems: novel hydrogels and future applications

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Over the past several decades, there have been major advancements in the field of glucose sensing and insulin delivery for the treatment of type I diabetes mellitus. The introduction of closed-loop insulin delivery systems that deliver insulin in response to specific levels of glucose in the blood has shifted significantly the research in this field. These systems consist of encapsulated glucose-sensitive components such as glucose oxidase or phenylboronic acid in hydrogels, microgels or nanoparticles. Since our previous evaluation of these systems in a contribution in 2004, new systems have been developed. Important improvements in key issues, such as consistent insulin delivery over an extended period of time have been addressed. In this contribution, we discuss recent advancements over the last 5 years and present persisting issues in these technologies that must be overcome in order for these systems to be applicable in patients.
How Do Investors and Firms React to a Large, Unexpected Currency Appreciation Shock?
Authors: Efing Matthias , Fahlenbrach Rüdiger , Herpfer Christoph , Krueger Philipp 
Published: August 2022

AbstractPast research has suggested that firms can significantly reduce their exposure to moderate exchange rate fluctuations by means of pass-through and hedging. Studying the appreciation of the Swiss franc by 17% on January 15, 2015, we show that firms remain exposed to extreme currency events. Pass-through, a way to share the costs of exchange rate risk with foreign customers, fails after extreme exchange rate shocks, particularly in competitive industries. Firms’ exposure to currency tail risk has real consequences for their investment. The decrease in investment is explained by a reduction in profitable investment opportunities and not by financial constraints.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Targeted alpha therapy with radionuclides undergoing multiple alpha-particle decays is a promising method of nuclear medicine. To study the effectiveness of alpha versus beta emitters, survival of DU145 prostate cancer cells exposed to 223Ra or 177Lu was assessed. Per decay, the cells were much more sensitive to the alpha than beta emitter. However, per unit dose the sensitivities would be comparable, contrary to the well-known evidence, if the decay energy were deposited within the sample completely and homogeneously. Measurements by Timepix detectors showed about three times higher counts of alpha particles above than below the sample. After the first alpha decay of 223Ra to 219Rn, this gas likely moves upwards and its subsequent three alpha decays occur in the upper part of the sample. Correct estimation of absorbed dose is a critical issue when analysing in vitro data and when translating their results to clinical applications.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The dramatic rise in diagnostic procedures, radioisotope-based scans and intervention procedures has created a very valid concern regarding the long-term biological consequences from exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation. Despite its unambiguous medical benefits, additional knowledge on the health outcome of its use is essential. This review summarizes the available information regarding the biological consequences of low-dose radiation (LDR) exposure in humans (e.g. cytogenetic changes, cancer risk and radiation-induced cataracts. However, LDR studies remain relatively new and thus an encompassing view of its biological effects and relevant mechanisms in the human body is still needed.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Optimization in mammography remains the most important tool in practice. In the optimization process, we look for a balanced relationship between image quality and patient dose. For mammographic examinations, the diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are expressed as the average glandular dose (AGD) based on the thickness of the compressed breast. The aim of this study was to analyse DRL compliance in diagnostic mammography at 16 mammography screening centres using an automated system for tracking patient doses during the period between January 2020 and December 2020 and to subsequently propose new DRLs for the screening mammography centres in Slovakia. The new DRLs were ~20% lower than the existing national DRLs in diagnostic mammography in Slovakia and significantly lower than the achievable AGD levels published in the fourth edition of the European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
YAP:Ce scintillation probe was tested for use in a spectrometric measurement that is necessary to assess the internal dose in case of wound injuries involving radionuclide contaminant. A technique with metal filters published in the past for the determination of a depth of plutonium-contaminated wound was tested to verify the capability of the scintillator to be used for gamma-ray spectrometry counting of 241Am in a wound injury. Scintillation probe equipped with YAP:Ce scintillator showed properties sufficient for the wound counting technique tested.

Published: August 2022

AbstractThis study establishes a new experimental approach for retrospective biodosimetric assessment by apoptosis detection ex vivo. For this purpose, we used mononuclear blood leukocytes isolated from the peripheral blood of irradiated Wistar rats and cultured them ex vivo for posterior analysis. Using flow cytometry, we distinguished apoptotic lymphocyte subsets individual biodosimetric potential at different time periods after exposure: B-lymphocytes 6–8 h (0–7 Gy), natural killer cells 24 h (0–7 Gy) and T-lymphocytes 24 h (0–1 Gy). This novel experimental design innovates through the need of a single blood sample from irradiated individuals for a complete biodosimetric assessment.
