description: Background:
This study explored experiences of quantitative researchers who work with marginalized populations. Methods/materials: Participants were recruited from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology forum, and asked questions regarding their struggles and best practices while working with marginalized populations in which they are or are not a member. Results: Responses included concerns regarding bidirectional trust, community norms, perceived bias, diversity and participant recruitment and compensation. We explore the benefits of qualitative understandings of bias (i.e. positionality, reflexivity), salient concerns reported by quantitative researchers, and our recommendations for the ethical inclusion of these practices across quantitative work. Conclusions: This paper contributes to understanding of current struggles and best practices while conducting research among marginalized populations. Additionally, we encourage quantitative researchers to engage in reflexive research practices, particularly for the benefit of marginalized group research. We extend the insider-outsider researcher discussion to quantitative researchers.

E04423: Augustine of Hippo preaches in Latin a sermon on the feast of a group of martyrs, including *Primus, Victoria and Perpetua (martyrs in Africa, S01709), in which he warns his audience not to celebrate this day by drinking. Sermon 335A, preached on an unspecified date between 391 and 430, in an unknown city in North Africa, possibly in Hippo.

description: Augustine of Hippo, Sermon 335A

[De natale sanctorum martyrum

'On the birthday of some martyrs']

1. ... Credo quod aduertit caritas uestra, quando sanctorum passio legebatur, qui primus confessus est Primus uocabatur, ante nouissimum Victoria, in fine Perpetua.

'I'm sure your graces noticed, when the passion of the saints was being read, that the one who first confessed was called Primus; the one before last was Victoria, at the very end came Perpetua.'

In what follows Augustine plays with the names of the martyrs and comments upon their meaning. The sermon end in the following words:

3. ... celebremus ergo martyrum dies, honorando martyrum passiones, non amando potiones. Conuersi ad Dominum.

'So let us celebrate the feast days of the martyrs, by honouring the sufferings of the martyrs, not in indulging ourselves in drink. Turing to the Lord ...'

description: The proliferation of predatory journals (PJs) poses challenges to the integrity and reliability of scientific research. This study provides a comprehensive overview of studies assessing predatory practices in the biomedical sciences and the evaluation of their methodologies. We systematically searched three databases: PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. We included review-type studies published in English that assessed PJs within biomedical fields. We analyzed the characteristics of PJs, and methodological quality using the advice of “a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews” (AMSTAR-2) and the Cochrane Handbook. Fifty articles were included in the analysis. The first review of PJs was published in 2015. More than 80% of the reviews were published from 2018 onwards. The studies most often focused on the lack of an adequate peer review process (33/50), time to publication (30/50), and level of article processing charge (27/50). Concerning methodological quality, none of the studies fulfilled all the suggested items; 30 of the studies did not meet any of them. The methodological quality of the existing reviews was rather low, and the results of the present study may help researchers improve the methodological quality of future reviews on this topic.

'3 There is a certain church (neōs) in Euphratesia, dedicated to Sergius, a famous saint, whom men of former times used to worship and revere, so that they named the place Sergiopolis, and they had surrounded it with a very humble wall, just sufficient to prevent the Saracens of the region from capturing it by storm. 4 For the Saracens are naturally incapable of storming a wall, and the weakest kind of barricade, put together with perhaps nothing but mud, is sufficient to check their assault. 5 At a later time, however, this church (neōs), through its acquisition of treasures, came to be powerful and celebrated. 6 And the Emperor Justinian, upon considering this situation, at once gave it careful attention, and he surrounded the church with a most remarkable wall, and he stored up a great quantity of water and thus provided the inhabitants with a bountiful supply.'

description: Gregory the Great, Dialogues 1.2

When Libertinus was travelling through Samnium, he was stopped by Darida, a Gothic commander. Darida stole Libertinus’ horse, and Libertinus knelt to pray. The Goths were unable to drive Libertinus’ horse, or their own horses, across the Volturno river. Once the horse was returned, all the horses readily crossed the river.

During the campaign of Buccelin in Campania, his troops raided the monastery of Funda. Libertinus remained undetected whilst praying prostrate in the chapel even as the troops stumbled over his body.

Gregory recounts how Libertinus carried the sandal of Honoratus everywhere with him. One time, when travelling to Ravenna, a woman presented Libertinus with her dead child and refused to let him pass until he had brought him back to life.

Itaque descendit, genu flexit, ad caelum manus tetendit, caligulam de sinu protulit, super extincti pueri pectus posuit. Quo orante anima pueri ad corpus rediit.

‘So, he dismounted, knelt down, and raised his hands to heaven. Then, taking the sandal from the folds of his garment, he placed it on the breast of the dead child and, as he continued praying, the boy came back to life.’

Gregory describes how this miracle was effective because of the virtue of both Libertinus and Honoratus. Gregory then praises Libertinus’ humility.

Gregory tells of Equitius' castration vision.

Hunc cum iuuentutis suae tempore acri certamine carnis incentiua fatigarent, ipsae suae temptationis angustiae ad orationis studium sollertiorem fecerunt. Cum que hac in re ab omnipotente deo remedium continuis precibus quaereret, nocte quadam adsistente angelo eunuchizari se uidit, eius que uisioni apparuit quod omnem motum ex genitalibus membris eius abscideret, atque ex eo tempore ita alienus extitit a temptatione, ac si sexum non haberet in corpore.

‘Finding himself much distressed as a young man by violent temptations of the flesh, Equitus turned with all the greater zeal to fervent prayer. One night while he was earnestly begging God for aid in this matter, he saw himself made a eunuch while an angel stood by. Through this vision, he realised that all disturbances of the flesh had been taken away, and from that time on he was a complete stranger to temptations of this kind as though his body were no longer subject to the tendencies of human nature.’

On another occasion, Equitius was able to see that Basil, a magician who disguised himself as a monk was a devil and not a monk. He was ejected from the monastery after tempting a nun with a fever. He struck fear into the hearts of two proud men: Julian, a protector of the church, and his servant. Gregory also describes his virtues as a preacher.

Equitius’ burial place is given as the church of Laurence. Several posthumous miracles took place here. One time, a farmer set a box of grain on the tomb. A gust of wind then blew only the box of grain off the tomb.

During the attack of the Lombards, several monks from Equitius’ monastery fled to his tomb at the church of St Laurence. When the Lombards broke into the tomb and forced the monks outside, intending to torture and kill them, one monk cried out to Equitus.

Ad cuius uocem protinus saeuientes langobardos inmundus spiritus inuasit. Qui corruentes in terram tandiu uexati sunt, quousque hoc cuncti etiam qui foris erant langobardi cognoscerent, quatenus locum sacrum temerare ultra non auderent.

‘At the sound of his voice, an unclean spirit seized the Lombards. They fell to the ground and were tormented relentlessly until all, even those outside, came to realise what was happening. After that, they no longer dared to profane the holy place.’

description: Ethical safeguards such as debriefing are often recommended or required for research studies in which participants are deceived. However, existing guidance on these safeguards seems insufficiently coherent and precise, which may be associated with their suboptimal implementation in practice. This study aimed to contribute to a more coherent and precise framework of ethical safeguards in deceptive studies through semi-structured interviews with a diverse sample of 24 researchers who had significant experience with deception. Interviewees discussed which ethical safeguards they implemented and how, as well as their relation to the notion of truthfulness (i.e., the intentional communication of true information). Moreover, interviewees provided a variety of reasons for and against implementing these safeguards, as well as how these reasons varied with the particular context of a study. Overall, the current study contributes to a more coherent and precise understanding of ethical safeguards in deceptive research that could be useful for guiding researchers and ethics reviewers in their ethical decision-making, although certain imprecisions and incoherent aspects remain in need of further investigation and normative reflection.

Установлено, что максимальные по абсолютной величине значения акустической анизотропии  приходятся на области с наибольшими напряжениями вблизи концентратора.  Выдвинуто предположение о том, что неравномерность распределения акустической анизотропии в материале указывает на возможную концентрацию напряжений в соответствующих  точках.
description: The behavior of the acoustic anisotropy and the longitudinal wave velocity in the case of multiaxial stress-strain state of the plate under inelastic deformation has been studied experimentally. The plate had a stress concentrator in the form of the central hole. The results for a number of deformation levels, and the results of finite element analysis of active stresses were presented. The qualitative agreement between calculated stress fields and the distribution fields of acoustic anisotropy was revealed. It was found that the maximum in magnitude of acoustic anisotropy values fell on the areas with the greatest stresses near the concentrator. It was supposed that the non-uniform distribution of the acoustic anisotropy in material testified to a possible stress concentration at the corresponding points.

description: Peer reviewers provide a critical role in helping journals keep publishing. To understand the rewards and incentives offered to peer reviewers, we assessed what journals/publishers offered to one peer reviewer in biomedicine over a 1-month period (June 2023). After receiving 88 peer reviewer invitations, we noted that incentives were minimal. They include access to journal/publisher peer review training materials, reduced author processing charges of future article submissions, and free access to the journal/publisher website. Depending on the acceptance rate (30% or 50%) of recommendations to publish the article, peer review from this sample could generate anywhere from $USD 897,000 to $USD 1.45 million dollars when annualized. However, little, if any of this revenue is shared directly or indirectly with peer reviewers. With almost no reciprocity in the peer review process, journals and their publishers need to promote and establish more reciprocity in a system that currently largely favors them disproportionately. This study is an anecdotal perspective of one peer reviewer’s experience over a single month. While anecdotal, these findings highlight issues about the fairness and sustainability of the peer review system. We encourage others to expand on what we have done and include more empirical investigations.

description: The goal of our survey is to provide accurate and multi-epoch radial velocities, atmospheric parameters (Teff , log g and [M/H]), distances, and space velocities of faint red clump stars. We recorded high signal-to-noise (S/N≥200) spectra of RC stars over the 4750-5950 Å range at a resolving power 5500. The target stars are distributed across the great circle of the celestial equator. Radial velocities were obtained via cross-correlation with IAU radial velocity standards. Atmospheric parameters were derived via χ2 fit to a synthetic spectral library. A large number of RC stars from other surveys were re-observed to check the consistency of our results and the absence of offsets and trends.

A total of 245 RC stars were observed (60 of them with a second epoch observation separated in time by about three months), and the results are presented in an output catalog. None of them is already present in other surveys of RC stars. In addition to astrometric and photometric support data from external sources, the catalog provides radial velocities (accuracy σ(RV)=1.3 km s−1), atmospheric parameters (σ(Teff)=88 K, σ(logg)=0.38 dex and σ([M/H])=0.17 dex), spectro-photometric distances, (X,Y,Z) galacto-centric positions and (U,V,W) space velocities.

description: Knowledge on Open Science Practices (OSP) has been promoted through responsible conduct of research training and the development of open science infrastructure to combat Irresponsible Research Behavior (IRB). Yet, there is limited evidence for the efficacy of OSP in minimizing IRB. We asked N=778 participants to fill in questionnaires that contain OSP and ethical reasoning vignettes, and report self-admission rates of IRB and personality traits. We found that against our initial prediction, even though OSP was negatively correlated with IRB, this correlation was very weak, and upon controlling for individual differences factors, OSP neither predicted IRB nor was this relationship moderated by ethical reasoning. On the other hand, individual differences factors, namely dark personality triad, and conscientiousness and openness, contributed more to IRB than OSP knowledge. Our findings suggest that OSP knowledge needs to be complemented by the development of ethical virtues to encounter IRBs more effectively.

description: The frequency of scientific retractions has grown substantially in recent years. However, thus far there is no standardized retraction notice format to which journals and their publishers adhere voluntarily, let alone compulsorily. We developed a rubric specifying seven criteria in order to judge whether retraction notices are easily and freely accessible, informative, and transparent. We mined the Retraction Watch database and evaluated a total of 768 retraction notices from two publishers (Springer and Wiley) over three years (2010, 2015, and 2020). Per our rubric, both publishers tended to score higher on measures of openness/availability, accessibility, and clarity as to why a paper was retracted than they did in: acknowledging institutional investigations; confirming whether there was consensus among authors; and specifying which parts of any given paper warranted retraction. Springer retraction notices appeared to improve over time with respect to the rubric’s seven criteria. We observed some discrepancies among raters, indicating the difficulty in developing a robust objective rubric for evaluating retraction notices.
E04433: Gregory the Great, in his Dialogues (1.7), describes three miracles effected by *Nonnosus (prior of Mount Soracte, ob. c. 570, S01713) on Mount Soracte, near Rome. These were conducted in imitation of *Gregory (the Miracle Worker, S00687), *Donatus (bishop of Arezzo, S01527) and *Elisha (Old Testament Prophet, S00239). Written in Latin in Rome, c. 593.

description: Gregory the Great, Dialogues 1.7

Summary:

In his mountain monastery, Nonnosus found a small patch of level ground suitable for a garden. This ground was covered by a large stone, too great to move. Nonnosus prayed that the stone might be moved, and when he returned the next day, the rock was removed.

Another time, Nonnosus smashed a glass lamp whilst washing it. He swept the fragments before the altar and prayed. The glass lamp was miraculously repaired.

Gregory states that in these miracles, Nonnosus imitated Gregory the Miracle Worker and Donatus.

When the oil supply at the monastery ran out, to avoid the monks having to work for oil, Nonnosus placed a few olives in the press. The small amount of oil they yielded was spread between many jars. The next day they were full of oil. In this, Nonnusus imitated the Old Testament prophet Elisha.

description: This article discusses the development of a training program for faculty asked to participate in the research misconduct review process. The aim of the training was to improve the handling of research misconduct allegations. A needs assessment was conducted to determine what Research Integrity Officers (RIOs) and other officials handling research misconduct proceedings perceived to be needed training content for faculty participating in the review of research misconduct allegations. Based upon the results from the needs assessment, a training was created. Then, the study team sought to evaluate the perceived impact of this training through both the lens of faculty and Research Integrity Officers. The learning and self-efficacy outcomes of the training were also evaluated through a pre- and post-assessment. Key findings relate to the differences in opinion regarding the efficacy of the training and suggested alternative uses of the training. The training, Handling Allegations of Research Misconduct, is currently available online.

E04434: Augustine of Hippo preaches in Latin a sermon on martyrs. Sermon 335B, delivered on an unspecified date, probably in 410/421, in an unknown city in North Africa, possibly in Hippo.

description: Augustine of Hippo, Sermon 335B

[De natale sanctorum martyrum

'On the birthday of some martyrs']

The sermon is entirely devoted to the martyrs, but does not refer to any specific personage, place or form of cult. Augustine quotes a fragment of an imaginary dialogue between the judge and the martyr, which however does not seem to be taken from any specific acts of the martyrs.

E04436: Gregory the Great, in his Dialogues (1.8), describes a vision and miracle experienced by *Anastasius (abbot of Suppentonia, ob. c. 570, S01714) in Suppentonia, near Rome. Written in Latin in Rome, c. 593.

description: Gregory the Great, Dialogues 1.8

Summary:

Gregory recounts a story of a vision, in which a divine voice called Anastasius and his monks from the mountain which rose over the monastery of Suppentonia. The order in which the monks were called reflected the order in which they were to die. There was only one exception: when Anastasius was on his deathbed, one monk begged him that he might be allowed to die earlier than he was intended to. He died a week after Anastasius, breaking the order decreed by the divine voice.

description: The following paper explores the evolution of the cult of Rachel the Matriarch and its main folktales from the 1990’s until the present day. Whilst folktales surrounding the Biblical matriarch date back to the Rabbinic era, from the mid-nineteenth century onwards a unique Jewish cult at Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem significantly intensified. These rites, which were mostly female-led, were analyzed in a series of previous studies, most of which traced their development from their inception up to the 1990s. Since the Oslo Accords, however, the rituals and rites along with the folktales have evolved in profound ways. My research demonstrates the degree to which the political sphere impacts modern day Israeli-Jewish folk traditions, including bringing about the establishment of new traditions. Specifically, I argue that the rites, in the past mostly female-led, due to the increasing political significance of the cult, have undergone an intense process of masculinization.

E04437: Gregory the Great, in his Dialogues (1.9), describes six miracles effected by *Bonifatius (6th c. bishop of Ferentino, central Italy, S01715): two in childhood and two when he was a bishop; one of these took place in a church dedicated to *Mary (Mother of Christ, S00033). Written in Latin in Rome, c. 593.

Summary:

Following a poor harvest of grapes, Bonifatius ordered that a small amount of juice be placed in several wine jars. Two days later, each of the jars was filled to the brim. He then ordered that his followers keep this miracle secret.

One day, a travelling musician disturbed Bonifatius as he prayed before dining with a nobleman. Angrily, Bonifatius said that the musician would soon die, though they should give him food and drink. As soon as the musician crossed the threshold of the house, a stone fell from the roof, ultimately causing his death.

Bonifatius' nephew, Constantius, a priest, sold a house and obtained twelve solidi. When his nephew was away, Bonifatius gave this money to poor people who asked for alms. His nephew was angry. Bonifatius then prayed in the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ferentino and found the twelve solidi in the folds of his clothes.

Bonifatius gave a group of Goths a cask of wine. This wine was enough for their journey to and from Ravenna and for the days they spent there.

As a child, Bonifatius gave away the year’s supply of his family’s grain to the poor. Bonifatius prayed and knelt by the wheat which remained. The grain was replenished.

As a child, Bonifatius tended to his mother’s hens. When one was taken by a fox. Bonifatius prayed to God. The fox returned, dropped the hen and dropped down dead.

Fuzzy Private Set Intersection with Large Hyperballs

description: Traditional private set intersection (PSI) involves a receiver and a sender holding sets X and Y , respectively, with the receiver learning only the intersection X ∩Y . We turn ourattention to its fuzzy variant, where the receiver holds |X| hyperballs of radius δ in a metric space and the sender has |Y | points. Representing the hyperballs by their center, the receiver learns the points x ∈ X for which there exists y ∈ Y such that dist(x, y) ≤ δ with respect to some distance metric. Previous approaches either require general-purpose multi-party computation (MPC) techniques like garbled circuits or fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), leak details about the sender’s precise inputs, support limited distance metrics, or scale poorly with the hyperballs’ volume.
This work presents the first black-box construction for fuzzy PSI (including other variants such as PSI cardinality, labeled PSI, and circuit PSI), which can handle polynomially large radius and dimension (i.e., a potentially exponentially large volume) in two interaction messages, supporting general Lp∈[1,∞] distance, without relying on garbled circuits or FHE. The protocol excels in both asymptotic and concrete efficiency compared to existing works. For security, we solely rely on the assumption that the Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) holds in the random oracle model.

Prediction of induced magnetism in 2D Ti$_2$C based MXene by manipulating the mixed surface functionalization and metal substitution computed by xTB model Hamiltonian of the DFTB method

description: We employed the recently developed density functional tight binding (DFTB) method's Hamiltonian, GFN1-xTB, for modeling the mixed termination in Ti$_{\rm2}$C MXene, namely three types of termination by combining -O and -OH, -O and -F, as well as -F and -OH. We demonstrated that the approach yields reliable predictions for electronic and magnetic properties of such MXenes. The first highlighted result is that the mixed surface functionalization in Ti$_{\rm2}$CA$_{\rm x}$B$_{\rm y}$ MXene induces spin polarization with diverse magnetic alignments, including ferromagnetism and two types of antiferromagnetism. We further identified the magnetic alignment for the investigated MXene in terms of the compositions of the terminal groups. Moreover, the effect of the transition metal (Ti) substituted by the Sc atom on the electronic and magnetic properties were also investigated. We found that the studied systems maintain the magnetism and the metallic characteristics. A magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic (AFM) to ferrimagnetic (FiM) ordering was found for ScTi$_{\rm15}$C$_{\rm8}$F$_{\rm8}$(OH)$_{\rm8}$ and ScTi$_{\rm15}$C$_{\rm8}$F$_{\rm12}$(OH)$_{\rm4}$ compounds. Finally, we proved that incorporating the Sc atom into the lattice of Ti$_{\rm2}$CO$_{\rm2}$ and mixed surface termination Ti$_{\rm2}$CA$_{\rm x}$B$_{\rm y}$ is an effective strategy to induce magnetism. Our study may provide a new potential application for designing MXene-based spintronics.
