description:
This study investigated the relationship between youth violence exposures (i.e., peer and neighborhood) and early sexual initiation. It also explored whether caring relationships with teachers might moderate this relationship and whether results differed for heterosexual versus non-heterosexual African American youth. The study sample (N = 580) comprised 475 heterosexual and 105 non-heterosexual youths, 319 female and 261 male, ages 13 to 24 years (M age = 15.8). Students were assessed for peer and neighborhood violence, relationship with teachers, early sexual initiation, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Major results indicated a positive relationship between exposure to peer and neighborhood violence and early sexual initiation for heterosexual youth but not those who identified as non-heterosexual. Further, identifying as female (vs. male) was significantly associated with later sexual initiation for both heterosexual and non-heterosexual youth. In addition, caring teachers moderated the relationship between exposure to peer violence and age of sexual initiation among non-heterosexual youth. Programs and interventions to curtail violence sequelae would need to consider the unique effects of various types of youth violence exposures and the significance of sexual orientation.

description: Two new (−)-parairesinol (3), lappaol G (5), and three known (1, 2, and 4) dibenzyl-γ-butyrolactone lignans were isolated from the Indian Himalayan herb Himalaiella heteromalla. Their structures were characterised by NMR and mass data analysis. In vitro cytotoxic study revealed that arctiin (4) showed promising growth inhibition across seven human cancer cells, with potent activity against Mia-PaCa-2 cells. Notably, compounds 3 and 5 did not demonstrate significant cytotoxicity up to 80 μM concentrations.

description: In this paper, we examine the role of the Jacobi last multiplier in the context of two-dimensional oscillators. We first consider two-dimensional unit-mass oscillators admitting a separable Hamiltonian description, i.e., $H = H_1 + H_2$, where $H_1$ and $H_2$ are the Hamiltonians of two one-dimensional unit-mass oscillators; it is shown that there exists a third functionally-independent first integral $Θ$, thereby ensuring superintegrablility. Various examples are explicitly worked out. We then consider position-dependent-mass oscillators and the Bateman pair, where the latter consists of a pair of dissipative linear oscillators. Quite remarkably, the Bateman pair is found to be superintegrable, despite admitting a Hamiltonian which cannot be separated into those of two isolated (non-interacting) one-dimensional oscillators.

description: A new sesquiterpene lactone ainslialide (1) and eighteen known compounds were isolated from aq. methanolic extract of Ainsliaea smithii Mattf (Compositae). All the isolates were structurally elucidated by the analysis of spectroscopic data 1D, 2D-NMR, HR-ESI-MS and previously reported literature for the known compounds. Aq. methanolic extract and compounds (2–13) were evaluated for the cytotoxic activity against the A549 cancer cell line. Compounds 4 (epi-friedelanol), 5 (ursolic acid) and aq. methanolic extract showed activity against A549 with an IC50 0.44, 51.25 μM, and 31.86 μg/ml respectively.

description:
The effect of tropical cyclone (TC) size on TC-induced sea surface temperature (SST) cooling and subsequent TC intensification is an intriguing issue without much exploration. Via compositing satellite-observed SST over the western North Pacific during 2004–19, this study systematically examined the effect of storm size on the magnitude, spatial extension, and temporal evolution of TC-induced SST anomalies (SSTA). Consequential influence on TC intensification is also explored. Among the various TC wind radii, SSTA are found to be most sensitive to the 34-kt wind radius (R34) (1 kt ≈ 0.51 m s −1 ). Generally, large TCs generate stronger and more widespread SSTA than small TCs (for category 1–2 TCs, R34: ∼270 vs 160 km; SSTA: −1.7° vs −0.9°C). Despite the same effect on prolonging residence time of TC winds, the effect of doubling R34 on SSTA is more profound than halving translation speed, due to more wind energy input into the upper ocean. Also differing from translation speed, storm size has a rather modest effect on the rightward shift and timing of maximum cooling. This study further demonstrates that storm size regulates TC intensification through an oceanic pathway: large TCs tend to induce stronger SST cooling and are exposed to the cooling for a longer time, both of which reduce the ocean’s enthalpy supply and thereby diminish TC intensification. For larger TCs experiencing stronger SST cooling, the probability of rapid intensification is half of smaller TCs. The presented results suggest that accurately specifying storm size should lead to improved cooling effect estimation and TC intensity prediction. Significance Statement Storm size has long been speculated to play a crucial role in modulating the TC self-induced sea surface temperature (SST) cooling and thus potentially influence TC intensification through ocean negative feedback. Nevertheless, systematic analysis is lacking. Here we show that larger TCs tend to generate stronger SST cooling and have longer exposure to the cooling effect, both of which enhance the strength of the negative feedback. Consequently, larger TCs undergo weaker intensification and are less likely to experience rapid intensification than smaller TCs. These results demonstrate that storm size can influence TC intensification not only from the atmospheric pathway, but also via the oceanic pathway. Accurate characterization of this oceanic pathway in coupled models is important to accurately forecast TC intensity.

description: (Abridged) An issue of considerable interest in the theory of jet formation by the Blandford-Znajek mechanism, is how plasma is being continuously supplied to the magnetosphere to maintain it in a force-free state. Injection of electron-positron pairs via annihilation of MeV photons, emitted from a hot accretion flow, has been shown to be a viable possibility, but requires a high enough accretion rate. At lower accretion rates, and in the absence of any other form of plasma supply, the magnetosphere becomes charge starved, forming intermittent spark gaps that can induce intense pair cascades via interactions with soft disk radiation, enabling outflow formation. It is often speculated that enough plasma can penetrate the inner magnetosphere from the accretion flow through some rearrangement of magnetic field lines (e.g., interchange instability). However, the question arises whether such episodes of plasma intrusion can prevent the formation of spark gaps. To address this question we conducted a suite of numerical experiments, by means of radiative, 2D axisymmetric general relativistic particle-in-cell simulations, in which plasma is injected into specified regions at a prescribed rate. We find that when pair production is switched off, nearly complete screening is achieved when the plasma is injected within the outer light cylinder at a high enough rate. Injection beyond the outer light cylinder results in either, the formation of large vacuum gaps, or coherent, large-amplitude oscillations of the magnetosphere, depending on the injection rate. Within the allowed dynamic range of our simulations, we see no evidence for the system to approach a steady state as the injection rate is increased. Switching on pair production results in nearly complete screening of the entire magnetosphere in all cases, with some fraction of the maximum Blandford-Znajek power emitted as TeV gamma-rays.

description:
The ethical guidelines for the American Evaluation Association and the principles of community-based participatory evaluation both state the importance of equitable stakeholder involvement. Regardless of the evaluation approach, however, evaluators are often confronted with gatekeepers, or those who control the access to stakeholders, information, or resources. Gatekeepers limit both the participation of key community members and, therefore, the exchange of relevant information related to the evaluation—a process called gatekeeping. Little research attention has been placed on studying gatekeeping, resulting in a dearth of knowledge about the influence of gatekeeping on stakeholder-engaged evaluations and social-structural dynamics that potentially perpetuate gatekeeping practices. In this article, we propose a gatekeeping influence theory grounded in the findings from 14 interviews. With a constructed theory of gatekeeping, we document the emergent social-structural and relational dynamics involved in stakeholder-engaged evaluation, with a focus on evaluations that include community partners and members.

description: Terminalia chebula is an important medicinal plant in traditional medicine, renowned for its fruits that offer various health benefits. This study aimed to investigate metabolic variation in fruit pericarp of T. chebula collected from four regions of India (North, South, East, and West). Rapid and efficient ultra-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection method was developed for separation and quantification of polyphenols viz. gallic acid, corilagin, chebulagic acid, ellagic acid, and chebulinic acid using BEH Shield RP-C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 µm) within 10 min. Method validation was performed in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Q2 (R1) guidelines. Results indicated no significant geographical influence on phytoconstituents’ content in samples. Chebulagic acid was found highest in sample collected from North India region. Activity was determined in terms of their ability to inhibit nitric oxide release in LPS-stimulated macrophages. This study presents unique, economical, time-efficient method for quality control, standardisation of T. chebula-based formulations, confirming its consistent potency across India.

description: Assistive technologies and in particular assistive robotic arms have the potential to enable people with motor impairments to live a self-determined life. More and more of these systems have become available for end users in recent years, such as the Kinova Jaco robotic arm. However, they mostly require complex manual control, which can overwhelm users. As a result, researchers have explored ways to let such robots act autonomously. However, at least for this specific group of users, such an approach has shown to be futile. Here, users want to stay in control to achieve a higher level of personal autonomy, to which an autonomous robot runs counter. In our research, we explore how Artifical Intelligence (AI) can be integrated into a shared control paradigm. In particular, we focus on the consequential requirements for the interface between human and robot and how we can keep humans in the loop while still significantly reducing the mental load and required motor skills.

Over the past month, a new AI model called Chatbot Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), has received enormous attention in the media and scientific communities due to its ability to process and respond to commands in a humanistic fashion. As reported, five days after its launch, the number of registered users of ChatGPT exceeded one million, and its monthly active users had exceeded 100 million two months later, making it the most rapidly growing consumer application in history. The advent of ChatGPT has further brought about new ideas and challenges in the realm of infectious disease. In view of this, in order to evaluate the potential use of ChatGPT in clinical practice and scientific research of infectious disease, we conducted a brief online survey by using the publicly available ChatGPT webpage. Also, the present study also talks about the relevant social and ethical issues related to this program.Graphical Abstract

description: A novel polysaccharide, named as PPFP, was isolated from Physalis pubescens L. fruits with a molecular weight of 229.3 kDa. Further Structural characterisation revealed that PPFP comprised of rhamnose, arabinose, fucose, mannose and glucose, and the predominantly backbone is linked with 1 → 3- and 1 → 6-glycosidic bonds. Using the HNO3–Na2SeO3 method, the selenium-modified derivative (Se-PPFP) was successfully synthesised with higher bioavailability. FT-IR and NMR analyses confirmed selenium was attached to the Se-PPFP structure with the Se=O and O–Se–O forms. More specifically, selenium was bound to the C-6 bond on the D-pyranose of PPFP. Se-PPFP showed reduced molecular weight, looser microstructure and better thermal stability than PPFP. PPFP and Se-PPFP exhibited notable antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, with Se-PPFP being more significant. These findings suggest their potential as functional food antioxidants.

Introduction: Despite their dynamic, socially constructed, and imprecise nature, both race and gender are included in common risk calculators used for clinical decision-making about statin therapy for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) prevention. Methods and Materials: We assessed the effect of manipulating six different race-gender categories on ASCVD risk scores among 90 Black transgender women. Results: Risk scores varied by operationalization of race and gender and affected the proportion for whom statins were recommended. Discussion: Race and gender are social constructs underpinning racialized and gendered health inequities. Their rote use in ASCVD risk calculators may reinforce and perpetuate existing inequities.

INTRODUCTION: Transgender women in the United States experience high HIV incidence and suboptimal Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) engagement. We sought to estimate PrEP initiation and discontinuation rates and characterize PrEP discontinuation experiences among a prospective cohort of transgender women. METHODS: Using a sequential, explanatory, mixed-methods design, 1312 transgender women at risk for HIV acquisition were enrolled from March 2018 to August 2020 and followed through July 2022 (median follow-up 24 months; interquartile range 15-36). Cox regression models assessed predictors of initiation and discontinuation. In-depth interviews were conducted among 18 participants, including life history calendars to explore key events and experiences surrounding discontinuations. Qualitative and quantitative data were integrated to generate typologies of discontinuation, inform meta-inferences and facilitate the interpretation of findings. RESULTS: 21.8% (n = 286) of participants reported taking PrEP at one or more study visits while under observation. We observed 139 PrEP initiations over 2127 person-years (6.5 initiations/100 person-years, 95% CI: 5.5-7.7). Predictors of initiation included identifying as Black and PrEP indication. The rate of initiation among those who were PrEP-indicated was 9.6 initiations/100 person-years (132/1372 person-years; 95% CI: 8.1-11.4). We observed 138 PrEP discontinuations over 368 person-years (37.5 discontinuations/100 person-years, 95% CI: 31.7-44.3). Predictors of discontinuation included high school education or less and initiating PrEP for the first time while under observation. Four discontinuation typologies emerged: (1) seroconversion following discontinuation; (2) ongoing HIV acquisition risk following discontinuation; (3) reassessment of HIV/STI prevention strategy following discontinuation; and (4) dynamic PrEP use coinciding with changes in HIV acquisition risk. CONCLUSIONS: PrEP initiation rates were low and discontinuation rates were high. Complex motivations to stop using PrEP did not consistently correspond with HIV acquisition risk reduction. Evidence-based interventions to increase PrEP persistence among transgender women with ongoing acquisition risk and provide HIV prevention support for those who discontinue PrEP are necessary to reduce HIV incidence in this population.

description: This study introduces a sustainable approach for biosynthesizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Allium ampeloprasum extract (Aa-AuNPs) as a template, reducing agent, and stabiliser. The reaction was optimised with 2 mM gold ions and a 7.5% extract. Various analytical techniques such as UV–Vis, TEM, SEM, EDX, FTIR, DLS, and XRD confirmed the physicochemical characteristics of the Aa-AuNPs. The synthesised Aa-AuNPs exhibited significant phytochemical content and antioxidant properties; moreover, they showed in vitro cytotoxic and anti-breast cancer potentials against MDA-MB231 cancer cells, with an IC50 value of 483.9 µg/mL. These findings suggest that the biosynthesized Aa-AuNPs could be a potential adjuvant chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer treatment.

Ambient audio sampling methods such as the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) have become increasingly prominent in clinical and social sciences research. These methods record snippets of naturalistically assessed audio from participants’ daily lives, enabling novel observational research about the daily social interactions, identities, environments, behaviors, and speech of populations of interest. In practice, these scientific opportunities are equaled by methodological challenges: researchers’ own cultural backgrounds and identities can easily and unknowingly permeate the collection, coding, analysis, and interpretation of social data from daily life. Ambient audio sampling poses unique and significant challenges to cultural humility, diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) in scientific research that require systematized attention. Motivated by this observation, an international consortium of 21 researchers who have used ambient audio sampling methodologies created a workgroup with the aim of improving upon existing published guidelines. We pooled formally and informally documented challenges pertaining to DEI in ambient audio sampling from our collective experience on 40+ studies (most of which used the EAR app) in clinical and healthy populations ranging from children to older adults. This article presents our resultant recommendations and argues for the incorporation of community-engaged research methods in observational ambulatory assessment designs looking forward. We provide concrete recommendations across each stage typical of an ambient audio sampling study (recruiting and enrolling participants, developing coding systems, training coders, handling multi-linguistic participants, data analysis and interpretation, and dissemination of results) as well as guiding questions that can be used to adapt these recommendations to project-specific constraints and needs.

It focuses on the case of Guayaquil, the epicentre of the pandemic in Ecuador, to exam- ine how writers responded to the health emergency in real time by using online platforms. I argue that, while the virus was spreading, the death toll was rising, and the lockdown was at its most severe, a body of writing deeply engaged with the crisis was taking shape in digital outlets. Its study enables a uniquely contextual understanding of the global crisis from a Latin American perspective.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to quantify the contributions of socioeconomic, psychosocial, behavioral, reproductive, and neighborhood exposures in young adulthood to Black-White differences in incident obesity. METHODS: In the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, 4488 Black or White adults aged 18 to 30 years without obesity at baseline (1985-1986) were followed over 30 years. Sex-specific Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate Black-White differences in incident obesity. Models were adjusted for baseline and time-updated indicators. RESULTS: During follow-up, 1777 participants developed obesity. Black women were 1.87 (95% CI: 1.63-2.13) times more likely and Black men were 1.53 (95% CI: 1.32-1.77) times more likely to develop obesity than their White counterparts after adjusting for age, field center, and baseline BMI. Baseline exposures explained 43% of this difference in women and 52% in men. Time-updated exposures explained more of the racial difference in women but less for men, compared with baseline exposures. CONCLUSIONS: Adjusting for these exposures accounted for a substantial but incomplete proportion of racial disparities in incident obesity. Remaining differences may be explained by incomplete capture of the most salient aspects of these exposures or potential variation in the impact of these exposures on obesity by race.

The landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade
recognized that the right to an abortion prior to fetal
viability belonged to the individual. In June 2022, the
Supreme Court reversed 49 years of precedence by overturning
Roe v. Wade, thereby ruling that there is no constitutional
protection for abortion. Since then, states have
implemented their own regulations regarding reproductive
rights. In May 2023, the North Carolina General Assembly
overrode Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 20,
otherwise known as the “Care for Women, Children and
Families Act.” Consequently, beginning July 1, 2023, abortion
has become illegal in North Carolina after 12 weeks’
gestation, except in cases of rape, incest, medical emergency,
or a life-limiting anomaly.

description: RATIONALE: Individuals with COPD have airflow obstruction and maldistribution of ventilation. For those living at high altitude, any gas exchange abnormality is compounded by reduced partial pressures of inspired oxygen.
OBJECTIVES: Does residence at higher-altitude exposure affect COPD outcomes, including lung function, imaging characteristics, symptoms, health status, functional exercise capacity, exacerbations, or mortality?
METHODS: From the SPIROMICS cohort, we identified individuals with COPD living below 1,000 ft (305 m) elevation (n= 1,367) versus above 4,000 ft (1,219 m) elevation (n= 288). Multivariable regression models were used to evaluate associations of exposure to high altitude with COPD-related outcomes.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Living at higher altitude was associated with reduced functional exercise capacity as defined by 6MWD (-32.3 m, (-55.7 to -28.6)). There were no differences in patient-reported outcomes as defined by symptoms (CAT, mMRC), or health status (SGRQ). Higher altitude was not associated with a different rate of FEV1 decline. Higher altitude was associated with lower odds of severe exacerbations (IRR 0.65, (0.46 to 0.90)). There were no differences in small airway disease, air trapping, or emphysema. In longitudinal analyses, higher altitude was associated with increased mortality (HR 1.25, (1.0 to 1.55)); however, this association was no longer significant when accounting for air pollution.
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic altitude exposure is associated with reduced functional exercise capacity in individuals with COPD, but this did not translate into differences in symptoms or health status. Additionally, chronic high-altitude exposure did not affect progression of disease as defined by longitudinal changes in spirometry.
Your Ego is Causing You Death Anxiety? The Roles of Egocentrism, Emotional Empathy, and Age on Death Anxiety

description:
Could focusing more on others reduce anxiety about the idea of death? This paper examines whether emotional empathy and egocentrism predict death anxiety levels. We hypothesize that egocentrism predicts higher levels of death anxiety due to its focus on self-preservation, while emotional empathy buffers death anxiety by shifting an individual’s focus from self-preservation to connection and perspective-taking. 214 participants completed a questionnaire that included the Revised Death Anxiety Scale (RDAS), the Multidimensional Emotional Scale (MDEES), and the Egocentrism Scale. The results revealed an interaction between age and egocentrism on death anxiety, whereby egocentrism predicted higher death anxiety levels for older adults but not for younger adults. Similarly, emotional empathy predicted lower death anxiety levels for older adults, whereas younger adults with higher empathy reported greater death anxiety. The distinct impacts of empathy and egocentrism on younger and older adults suggest that death anxiety may manifest differently across the lifespan. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how self-focus versus other-focus influences perceptions of death.

description: Zehneria scabra is a perennial climbing herb used by Ethiopian traditional medicine practitioners. The study aimed to detect phytochemicals, assess antibacterial activities, and analyse the chemical constituents of its leaf extract using GC–MS and FTIR techniques. Phytochemical analysis revealed terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, and saponins. Significant antibacterial activity was observed against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli at low concentrations (0.05 mg), particularly inhibiting E. coli. Quantitative phytochemical analysis showed that eight compounds make up almost ¾ part of the GC–MS chromatogram. These main constituents were 13-Octadecenal (17.77%), Valerenic acid (16.19%), 7-Acetyl-6-ethyl-1,1,4,4-tetramethyltetralin (8.96%), (Z, Z, Z)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester (7.35%), Neophytadiene (7.11%), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z)-, methyl ester (5.45%), Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (5.08%), and 2-Isopropylidene-3-methylhexa-3,5-dienal (5.06%). FT-IR analysis also confirmed the presence of alkanes, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and aromatic functional groups. Overall, these identified compounds from Z. scabra hold promise for developing innovative antibacterial drugs.

description: We demonstrate that the recently announced signal for a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) from pulsar timing array (PTA) observations, if attributed to new physics, is compatible with primordial GW production due to axion-gauge dynamics during inflation. More specifically we find that axion-$U(1)$ models may lead to sufficient particle production to explain the signal while simultaneously source some fraction of sub-solar mass primordial black holes (PBHs) as a signature. Moreover there is a parity violation in GW sector, hence the model suggests chiral GW search as a concrete target for future. We further analyze the axion-$SU(2)$ coupling signatures and find that in the low/mild backreaction regime, it is incapable of producing PTA evidence and the tensor-to-scalar ratio is low at the peak, hence it overproduces scalar perturbations and PBHs.

description: Anomalous contributions to the electric and magnetic dipole moments of the $τ$ lepton from new physics scenarios have brought renewed interest in the development of new charge-parity violating signatures in $τ$-pair production at Belle II energies, and also at higher energies of the Large Hadron Collider and the Future Circular Collider. In this paper, we discuss the effects of spin correlations, including transverse degrees of freedom, in the $τ$-pair production and decay. These studies include calculating analytical formulas, obtaining numerical results, and building semi-realistic observables sensitive to the transverse spin correlations induced by the dipole moments of the $τ$ lepton. The effects of such anomalous contributions to the dipole moments are introduced on top of precision simulations of $e^-e^+ \to τ^-τ^+$, $q\bar{q} \to τ^-τ^+$ and $γγ\to τ^-τ^+$ processes, involving multi-body final states. The $τ$ decays are simulated along with radiative corrections, in particular electroweak box contributions of $WW$ and $ZZ$ exchanges are taken into account. Respective extensions of the Standard Model amplitudes and the reweighting algorithms are implemented into the KKMC Monte Carlo, which is used to simulate $τ$-pair production in $e^-e^+$ collisions, and the TauSpinner program, which is used to reweight events with $τ$ pair produced in $pp$ collisions.
