description: The alkaline comet assay is frequently used as in vivo follow-up test within different regulatory environments to characterize the DNA-damaging potential of different test items. The corresponding OECD Test guideline 489 highlights the importance of statistical analyses and historical control data (HCD) but does not provide detailed procedures. Therefore, the working group “Statistics” of the German-speaking Society for Environmental Mutation Research (GUM) collected HCD from five laboratories and >200 comet assay studies and performed several statistical analyses. Key results included that (I) observed large inter-laboratory effects argue against the use of absolute quality thresholds, (II) > 50% zero values on a slide are considered problematic, due to their influence on slide or animal summary statistics, (III) the type of summarizing measure for single-cell data (e.g., median, arithmetic and geometric mean) may lead to extreme differences in resulting animal tail intensities and study outcome in the HCD. These summarizing values increase the reliability of analysis results by better meeting statistical model assumptions, but at the cost of information loss. Furthermore, the relation between negative and positive control groups in the data set was always satisfactorily (or sufficiently) based on ratio, difference and quantile analyses.
title: An exploration of how rape myth acceptance affects sexual assault trials in Canada

description: Rape myth acceptance continues to make its way into our criminal justice system. It is expressed in sexual assault trials during cross-examinations of complainants and in a judge or jury’s decision-making processes. Prejudices and biases about sexual assault and its victims infiltrates societal views about the offence and people involved; thus, affecting reporting and conviction rates. This project illustrates how rape myths are used and accepted by justice professionals during trials and how it affects sexual assault case outcomes. This is showed with landmark cases where myths were the backbone of the decision-making process in deciding the offender’s guilt for the offence. Using an exploratory and descriptive analysis of the selected literature and focusing on specific cases, this project suggests that a negative cycle of rape myth acceptance is still persuasive and stems from court misconceptions into society and vice versa. While there are other reasons why low-reporting and low-conviction rates may occur, the role that rape myth acceptance plays within the court's system has a significant impact on how sexual assault cases are dealt with and especially on how they are damaging to current and future victims. While this project’s primary focus is on an institutional level (the court system), it also highlights the importance of resolving this issue on a societal level as it affects everyone. Due to the negative effects of rape myth acceptance, this project also makes recommendations about how to better educate our society as well as ensure justice professionals are continuously educated and consciences about sexual assault, its victims, and its laws.

description: We undertook a systematic review to understand (i) how motherhood is represented across different media, (ii) how the modalities of media domains influence the motherhood representations that they offer, (iii) the gaps in recent research on the subject. We searched 7 databases for all studies investigating the representation of motherhood in media texts, in any geographical location, published after 31 December 2016. We identified 55 studies as relevant to the search criteria and undertook a thematic analysis of their findings. Our contribution is to offer a framework that summarizes and contrasts key themes of motherhood and tensions within and between motherhood ideologies as identified in different media domains.

description: Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube wield substantial influence over digital information flows using sophisticated algorithmic recommender systems (RS). As these systems curate personalized content, concerns have emerged about their propensity to amplify polarizing or inappropriate content, spread misinformation, and infringe on users’ privacy. To address these concerns, the European Union (EU) has recently introduced a new regulatory framework through the Digital Services Act (DSA). These proposed policies are designed to bolster user agency by offering contestability mechanisms against personalized RS. As their effectiveness ultimately requires individual users to take specific actions, this empirical study investigates users’ intention to contest personalized RS. The results of a pre-registered survey across six countries – Brazil, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and the USA – involving 6,217 respondents yield key insights: (1) Approximately 20% of users would opt out of using personalized RS, (2) the intention for algorithmic contestation is associated with individual characteristics such as users’ attitudes towards and awareness of personalized RS as well as their privacy concerns, (3) German respondents are particularly inclined to contest personalized RS. We conclude that amending Art. 38 of the DSA may contribute to leveraging its effectiveness in fostering accessible user contestation and algorithmic transparency.

description: YouTube provides an exhaustive collection of videos that promote conspiracy narratives. Conspiracy narratives deviate from orthodox views and are grounded in non-falsifiable premises. This study aims to understand how people evaluate the credibility of conspiracy videos. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods, we examine the factors that affect users’ evaluations of the credibility of conspiracy videos in social-media settings. Qualitative findings show that users consider source, interaction, content, and their intent to follow-up on the topic as credibility cues. A quantitative analysis using a moon-landing conspiracy video as an example demonstrates that the role of credibility cues differs depending on pre-existing beliefs. Host and message cues are most relevant, with host cues more important for strong believers in the moon landing conspiracy and message cues more relevant for non-believers and moderate believers. The intention to follow up on the conspiracy topic mediates between credibility cues and users’ overall video credibility evaluation. Critical user comments about the video decrease this follow-up intention and thus contribute to a lower overall video credibility. People navigate conspiracy narratives based on information-related credibility cues, which are moderated by their previous beliefs and mediated by follow-up intention. Users who attribute credibility to conspiracy narratives perceive them as having high information quality, causing cognitive and conversational needs in users.

description: Although extant research offered first insights into the effects of visual disinformation, we know markedly little about the effects of cheapfakes that rely on the deceptive re-contextualization of authentic visual materials disseminated via social media. Against this backdrop, we rely on online experiments (N = 874) and (N = 733) in which we exposed representative samples of participants to different types of (visual) disinformation in which the out-of-context presentation of visual material was central. Our findings indicate that cheapfakes based on video editing are not more credible than textual or image-only visual disinformation, while disinformation in general can lower support for a delegitimized politician. As a key contribution, we show that when cheapfakes are endorsed by other online users, they can mislead people and therewith succeed in delegitimizing targeted political actors, although richer modalities used in cheapfakes do not amplify deceptive content’s impact.

description: Existing echo chamber studies tend to focus on political attitudes within specific online platforms. We broaden this scope by examining social media use and attitudes within a real-world context that resembles an echo chamber: rural areas characterized by low racial/ethnic diversity and low social tolerance. Rural environments often lack conditions conducive to higher social tolerance due to limited cross-group interaction and lower formal education. However, the rural-to-university transition, a major life course event, typically leads to expanded social circles and increased tolerance for young adults who leave, while leaving tolerance unchanged in rural communities. This is attributed to the university experience, which fosters social mixing and education, coupled with reduced contact with former ties from the rural community. We hypothesize that social media alters these traditional trajectories. Using survey data from five cohorts of student-parent pairs, we investigate how shared use of social media platforms relates to network composition and social tolerance. We find that shared social media use constrains network diversity and tolerance among white university students, while conversely expanding ties to people of color and increasing social tolerance for their parents remaining in rural areas. These results offer new insights into the complex relationship between social media and the composition of personal networks, demonstrating how social media can both disrupt and reinforce echo chambers by linking lives across the life course.

description: Information abundance has become a defining characteristic of digital media environments. Today, people have to deal with a vast amount of news, entertainment and personal communication. This study investigates the strategies that people use to do so. Conceptually, we propose to understand information abundance as a macro-level phenomenon, i.e., an external state, which is neither positive nor negative per se. However, it may be experienced differently by individuals depending on what strategies they have to navigate abundance. Information abundance can be observed at the levels of content, sources, and devices as well as across the different media contexts of news, entertainment, or personal communication. Empirically, we conduct focus group discussions with 40 participants from Switzerland and examine what strategies people use to manage or withdraw from information abundance. The findings show that the strategies of selection, avoidance, and disconnection are applied similarly across the three media contexts, both temporarily and habitually, preventively and interventively, and are often used in tandem. Our findings also reveal that all strategies are used at the content, source, and device levels, which is important to consider because avoidance or disconnection from devices can inevitably affect media use more generally. The use of strategies seems to impact how individuals experience abundance, supporting previous research that avoidance and disconnection can mitigate information overload and enhance well-being. The study contributes to a better understanding of the multifaceted application of strategies as individual responses to the increase of information supply and the blurring boundaries between different media contexts.

Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάζεται ο ένας πολύ σημαντικός τομέας για τη λειτουργία των logistics, ο τομέας των αγορών. Συνεχίζοντας στο κύριο μέρος της εργασίας παρακολουθούμε όλες τις σημαντικές δραστηριότητες που σχετίζονται με τον κλάδο. Μέσα από τη πληθώρα των δραστηριοτήτων που θα αναλύσουμε διαπιστώνουμε πως ο κλάδος των logistics είναι κομβικής σημασίας για μια επιχείρηση. Ένα ακόμη σημαντικό στάδιο που έχουμε μελετήσει είναι τα αποθέματα. Μαζί με τα αποθέματα παρουσιάσαμε έναν τομέα που είναι κοντά σε αυτά και έχουν άμεση επιρροή πάνω τους, τον τομέα της διανομής και τα συστήματα που εφαρμόζονται σε αυτόν. Ο χειρισμός τους είναι πολύπλοκος και από τους πλέον δύσκολους μέσα σε μια επιχείρηση. Επίσης, ακολουθεί μια ανάλυση για τη διοίκηση ανθρωπίνου δυναμικού στα logistics και τη σημασία της. Αναφορά ακόμη γίνεται στην εξέλιξη των παραδοσιακών logistics, δηλαδή στα e-logistics και στην λειτουργία αυτών.

THE INFLUENCE OF TRADE WAR POLICIES ON SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK RECONFIGURATION AND SUPPLIER SOURCING
Creators: name: Mbonigaba Celestin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The increasing volatility of global trade policies, particularly trade wars, has necessitated a strategic shift in supply chain network reconfiguration and supplier sourcing. This study examines how businesses have adapted their supply chains in response to escalating trade restrictions, with a focus on the U.S.-China trade war from 2018 to 2022. The research employs a secondary data analysis approach, integrating quantitative metrics from multinational corporations, trade reports, and economic studies. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation (r = 0.87) between tariff increases and supply chain costs, leading to widespread supplier diversification, nearshoring, and reshoring strategies. A chi-square test (χ² = 22.4, p < 0.01) confirms that capital-intensive industries, such as automotive and electronics, are more likely to pursue supplier diversification. Additionally, time series analysis indicates a 133% growth in reshoring activities from 2018 to 2022, demonstrating a sustained trend in domestic production shifts. The regression model (R² = 1.00) further validates that prolonged trade disputes directly drive supplier reconfigurations. These findings underscore the necessity for firms to prioritize multi-regional sourcing, invest in digital supply chain technologies, and enhance resilience to geopolitical disruptions. Policymakers should focus on trade stability measures to mitigate business uncertainties. Future research should explore the role of AI and blockchain in optimizing supply chain adaptations under evolving trade policies.

NATURALLY OCCURING CLAY, MONTMORILLONITE, AS A DRUG DELIVERY VEHICLE FOR IN VITRO EXTENDED RELEASE OF VENLAFAXINE HYDOCHLORIDE
Creators: name: Jain, Shilpa

description: In the present work, a naturally occurring smectite group clay mineral, Montmorillonite, (Mt) has been explored as a vehicle for delivery of an antidepressant drug Venlafaxine hydrochloride, VF. The effect of pH of the drug solution, time and initial drug concentration on drug loading capacity of Mt has been studied. The adsorption isotherm was fitted by the Langmuir model and follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The synthesized Mt-VF complexes were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TGA, DSC etc. VF was found to be intercalated in the Mt layers. The release profile of the VF and Mt-VF complex in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids has been discussed. The release behaviour of VF from Mt-VF complexes appears to be sustained/ extended for a period of 12 h and reaches upto 52% in simulated gastric fluid and is stable in intestinal fluid where as pure VF completely gets released in 5.5 h and 3.5 h in simulated gastric and intestinal fluid respectively Out of all kinetic models used to elucidate the drug release mechanism, the best fitting was observed for first order model. On the basis of present studies it can be stated that the synthesized Mt-VF complexes have the potential for developing in to a sustained release formulation for oral drug delivery of an anti-depressant drug VF. This shows a path which can reduce doses substantially from 4 times in 24h to twice in 24 h.

Year: 2014

description: The gelling and metal-chelating properties of alginate were combined to develop an adsorbent for heavy metal removal. Biopolymer beads composed of fly ash and sodium alginate proved to be an effective adsorbent for removal of Zn(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of initial pH (2–10), bead dose (10–80), agitation time (1–24 h), beads composition (0.1g–0.7 g fly ash) and Zn(II) ions initial concentration (5–30 mg L-1) on the adsorption process, as well as to what extent the adsorption data obey Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were investigated. The maximum adsorption was found 84.20 % within 8 h and after that reaches equilibrium. The adsorption of Zn(II) ions is quite sensitive to pH of the suspension and shows an optimum uptake value at pH 6.0. Maximum adsorption occurred for 40 beads and in case of composition, beads composed of 0.5 g fly ash has shown good results. It is clear from the experimental results that the pH plays an important role in adsorption of zinc ions. The average size, bulk density and swelling ratio of beads calculated are; 0.12 cm, 0.34 g mL-1 and 28.65 respectively.  The synthesized beads were also characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, TGA/DTA and other methods.

description: The kinetics of the oxidative decolorization of amaranth with KBrO3 acidified by H2SO4 was followed up by monitoring the decrease of the absorbance of amaranth at lmax= 520 nm. The reaction was carried out under pseudo-first-order conditions. The concentration of BrO3- was ca 300 greater than that of amaranth. The rate of reaction increased with increasing concentration of H2SO4 and BrO3-, while amaranth had no effect on the rate of reaction. The effects of the ions, Cl-, Br- and SO4-- were investigated and the reaction rate increased with increasing concentrations of chloride and bromide while it decreased with increasing concentration of SO4--. A reaction mechanism has been proposed.

description: Poster presented at The 186th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Ottawa, ON, Canada.
description: Acoustics is central to the study of speech communication, but it is conspicuously under-represented in abstract representations of speech. Many flavors of phonological analysis tend toward articulatory descriptions, and transcriptions focus on strings of articulatory actions. All this is despite acoustics being easier to measure than articulation with current technology. The present study explores basic concepts for an acoustic phonology, with two types of postulated categories: broad and fine. Resonant, turbulent, transient, and occludent types of sounds comprise the broad categories, as general methods of filtering the speech source. Fine categories are conceptualized as specific types of acoustic actions within a broad category. These acoustic actions are goal-oriented, as for achieving a particular acoustic effect like the presence of antiformants or a lowered F2 or F3. However, these actions are not explicitly restricted to manipulating traditional phonetic features like formants. By default, fine categories are assumed to be produced in parallel when possible, yielding overlap effects like anticipatory nasalization, lateralization, and rhotacization. These concepts are explored in a microanalysis of bod, bond, bald, and bard from the speaker in the Massive Auditory Lexical Decision data set, with an eye to seeding the ground for a future acoustic phonology.

description: Sympathetic overactivity is closely associated with vascular remodeling. Sympathetic fibers dominantly innervate the adventitia of arteries rather than tunica media. Vascular adventitial fibroblasts (VAFs) play crucial roles in vascular remodeling. However, the link between sympathetic overactivity and VAF proliferation and migration is unknown. Primary VAFs were isolated from the thoracic aorta of spontaneously hypertensive rats and Wistar–Kyoto rats. Norepinephrine (NE) bitartrate monohydrate was applied to VAFs to simulate the sympathetic overactivity. NE increased NADPH oxidase (NOX) 2 expression and superoxide level, which were almost abolished by NOX2 inhibitor GSK2795039 or α-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin, but not significantly affected by NOX1 inhibitor ML171, NOX4 inhibitor GLX351322 or β-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol. Superoxide scavenger tempol or NOX2 inhibitor GSK2795039 attenuated NE-induced VAF proliferation and migration. NE promoted protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation and NFκB-p65 nuclear translocation. Either PKC inhibitor Go6983 or NFκB inhibitor BAY11-7082 attenuated NE-induced NOX activation, NOX2 upregulation, superoxide production, proliferation and migration. NE promotes oxidative stress by α-receptor/PKC/NFκB-mediated NOX2 upregulation, which contributes to proliferation and migration of VAFs.

description: Selenium (Se) is linked to physiological homeostasis. Male mice (n = 8/group) were fed control (AIN93G) or diets enriched in sodium selenite (NaSe, 5.6 ppm), methylselenocysteine (Met, 4.7 ppm), diphenyl diselenide (DPDS, 14.2 ppm), or nanoselenium (NanoSe, 2.7 ppm); dietary Se ascertained by inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. At 4 weeks testes, sperm, thyroids, blood and stool were collected to assess histoarchitecture, circulating hormones (thyroxine, T4; triiodothyronine, T3; thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) and gut microbiome (16S rRNAV3-V4 amplicon sequencing). Supplemented NaSe, Met, and NanoSe increased plasma testosterone and testis glutathione peroxidases (GPx-1/4) while testicular superoxide dismutase and catalase increased slightly in the NanoSe group indicating a selective antioxidant response. Overall, NanoSe and NaSe enhanced male reproductive factors. All thyroids isolated from Se-supplemented mice contained marginal vacuoles and a lower follicle area vs control. Nano-Se enhanced thyroidiodothyronine deiodinase-1 (DIO1) expression however, thyroid GPx-1/4 remained unchanged. Supplemented NaSe and DPDSl increased plasma T3/T4 ratio, while plasma TSH was unchanged. Microbiome analyses showed that NanoSe was most efficacious in altering composition (judged by α-diversity, Shannon index and taxon richness) while the NaSe diet showed the greatest overall change in α-diversity. Dietary Se supplementation, particularly encapsulated NanoSe, may improve male fertility factors by enhancing the gut-thyroid-fertility axis.
